Before you judge Jason, it's important to note that he was so early to the Free State Project that he was pre-wackjob. He's sort of a neoliberal economics guy, and when it comes to the narrow purview of the planning board he's imminently well-suited for it, being academically inclined about those policies through his work at Saint Anselm's. He's an actual expert on housing policy, not an ideologue.

Early? Pre-wackjob? He literally wrote the free state plan! He’s the head wackjob!

That being said, and I agree wholeheartedly- he grossly underestimated the...not sure how to say this politely, so I will go with RABID...views of the people who wanted to join the Project.

His original plan was interesting, well thought-out, absolutely unworkable, but what is killing this project in the end is:

He ended up being bitten by his own rabid dog.

If you crash a plane through your own negligence, maybe you aren't cut out to be a pilot.
