My take on being too early on too many things: The Mad Woman and the Machine.
Overview
My Living Xperiment is a daily live video series created and hosted by Carla Gericke (@CarlaGericke), a prominent libertarian activist, author, artist, and attorney deeply involved in New Hampshire’s Free State Project (FSP). Launched as a personal challenge to document and share unfiltered daily life in the FSP community—a movement aimed at building a consent-based society emphasizing self-ownership and liberty—the series blends practical lifestyle content with philosophical and activist reflections. Gericke describes it as “Martha Stewart meets Katniss Everdeen,” combining homemaking experiments, community updates, and revolutionary insights into freedom.
The series promotes transparency about the joys, challenges, and innovations of libertarian living in New Hampshire, positioning the state as a “haven for liberty-minded individuals.” It has become a staple for FSP supporters, offering real-time engagement and fostering discussions on topics like nuclear energy, Bitcoin adoption, state secession, and personal growth.
