WEBVTT - Why The Fed and Totalitarian Control Will Fail & How To Protect Yourself | Aleks Svetski 0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:17.360 The conversation you are about to jump into is one 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:20.160 of the best conversations I've had on this show in 0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:23.079 this channel. Now, it's actually the longest. I think it's 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:25.639 like twice as long as like my average interview, and 0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:27.960 that's because we go into some deep stuff. Now. I 0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:30.400 know this might not be the typical content that I 0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:33.840 put forth where I'm talking really specifically about financial stuff, 0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:37.120 but this is a bigger level picture and it's super 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:39.440 important for you to have. Uh, it's maybe one of 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:41.640 the most important ones that I would recommend that you 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:44.279 listen to. UM. It's what I learned a long time ago, 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:47.440 twenty five years ago from Robert Kiyosaki, and he said that, UM, 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.400 imagine a cup like a glass, and you have the 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:53.800 glass and you can put the contents inside the glasses 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:56.640 the context and what you put inside is the content. 0:00:57.000 --> 0:00:59.720 And we don't Eventually we can't put any more continents. 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.320 We need more context. We need a bigger cup. And 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:04.000 that's exactly what I try to do on this channel. 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.600 And that's exactly what this interview does. So while it 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.560 might not be the most tactical information that you want today, 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.240 it is that important. It's the big picture stuff. It's 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.560 how you can change your thinking to change your life. 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:17.440 Of course, we do get into how to discern truth, 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:20.720 how to think through complex things to make them UM simple, 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:22.360 what I try to do all the time. We also 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:25.720 talk about UM, where the future is going, what are 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.200 the different systems that we have, UM, what can we do, 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:31.120 what is the hope that we have for the future, 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.360 And then ultimately asked him at the end to give 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.399 me his forecast for how this plays out over the 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:37.919 next decade. UM. This is a conversation that I really 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.520 really hope that you'll listen to. UM. It is available 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.520 on podcast as well. Just go to search Market Disruptors 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.280 podcast and you can listen to it because it is 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:47.680 pretty long, but it's super important. So let's go ahead 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:49.640 and just jump right in. Hey, everyone, welcome to another 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.320 episode of the Market Disruptors Show. Today, I'm sitting down 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:56.240 with Alex Fetzki, and he is the CEO founder of Amber, 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.640 which is a bitcoin service. But more importantly, he is 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.360 a very very well UM he's a very well respected 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:07.280 thinker writer. He's been writing some amazing pieces that have 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.120 really caught my attention. I really want to dig into 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:11.520 these and discuss them. With everyone today. Um, he just 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.519 wrote a new piece the Bitcoin Times. I think it 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:16.840 just came out yesterday. I'm gonna link to it down below, 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.000 and I would advise everyone to go check that out 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:20.920 and read his work. So I'll link to it down below. 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.440 But Alex, welcome to the show. Mark, thank you very 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:28.480 much for sending me on men. I really appreciate it. Yeah. So, UM, 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:30.560 I'm obviously, like I said, I've been kind of following 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:31.840 the stuff that you've done. I think you kind of 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.280 caught my eye about a year ago, and UM, you 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:38.160 talk a lot about breaking things down to their most 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.840 basic truths, um, and so they're kind of easy to understand. 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.000 And then obviously you're kind of painting this future of 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.519 where we might go and hopefully ways we can prevent that. 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.160 So that's what I want to kind of talk about today. 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.120 So for everybody that's listening, that's kind of where we're 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:53.680 gonna cover. But why don't you go ahead and just 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:55.400 uh give us a little bit of background on what 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:57.640 you're doing and and kind of what you're writing about 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:01.240 right now. Cool. So, So I think what you mentioned 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.040 there about breaking things down to like based truths is 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:06.520 you know a lot of people. We've been sort of 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:11.720 brainwashed through what I call feat academia too, to sit 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:15.040 here and believe that we need a source for everything. 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.959 You know that that truth is all relative, morality is relative, 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.679 and everything is relative, so there's no actual truth, and 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.600 that you know, we need to do empirical kind of 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:29.760 testing for everything. Um you know, you see these academic 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:31.680 monkeys who are like you, do you have a source 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:37.720 for that? And it's just it's so ridiculous because there's 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:41.320 there's so much in life that like that are that 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.040 are praxeological truths or that are what what you know 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.480 is called and philosophy like a priori truths where you 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:51.119 don't need proof too to be able to deduce if 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.680 something makes sense or not. You can you can quickly 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:58.720 dismiss something without any evidence if you can find if 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.520 it's consistent with what's called an a priori truth, which 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.320 is true whether or not you test it, whether or 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.520 not you knew the answer, didn't know the answer. We 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.320 didn't even know the question beforehand. And like mathematics is 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.440 like an a priori science, it's you know, one plus 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:16.080 one equal to long before we figured it out. Um, So, 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.160 so that exists you know, and and other a priori 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:24.080 truths of things like um, you know, like time moves forward, 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:27.280 you know, you can't move back. So something that happens later, 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.960 you know, is a consequence of something you know that 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.520 happened before. So you know, we have directionality. So so's 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.359 there's a bunch of things. Another good example would be, 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:41.200 you know, more of the same thing is worth more 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.240 then less of the same thing, so so so you 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:48.120 don't have to you know that when we look at 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.479 ustrain economics and all this sorts of stuff, you know 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:55.440 that we can build these accurate theories where we can 0:04:55.480 --> 0:05:00.680 predict what happens with certain interventions in an economy or 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.039 in a system, not by having to empirically test it, 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:07.280 because it's impossible to empirically test an economy because every 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:10.200 human being is different and every moment in time is different, 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.119 so you can't actually go back and apply any models 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.840 to it. So what we do is we use praxeology, 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:20.240 which is a which is a non empirical science to say, 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:25.080 based on these sets of truths which you know, we 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.640 can deduce to their to their to their base level. 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.400 If we do this, if we behave like X or 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:35.080 Y or z what direction will that lead us in 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.559 or what consequences may that have? And the world seems 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.480 to have lost this, Like the amount of people that 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.479 I've asked that a young these days that have gone 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:45.520 and studied economics at university and I say, have you 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.760 did you guys do a module on praxeology And they're like, 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:53.160 what's that? Yeah, like the most important, like I think, 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:56.960 the most important to sciences on the planet of praxeology 0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.960 and math, and like, you know, people are not taught 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:01.599 any of this crap anymore. So, you know, we're just 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:06.480 taught to regurgitate whatever crap is written by another person 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.560 who's regurgitating someone else's crap. And we've got we're just 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.159 referencing garbage on top of garbage and top garbage. And 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.000 we we live in a world now where there is 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.440 an objective truth anymore. Everything is relative, um, and we 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.200 just you know, we're swimming in a sea of lives 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.880 and see a bullshit. So yeah, well it's coming back 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.960 to your original quote. There is like I try and 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.599 break things down to these base truths, um, and we 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:32.640 can when we can start from there, we can you know, 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:37.880 remain consistent and come up with ideas, concepts, rules, UM, 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:42.400 and we can observe how best to to live and 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:46.560 to cooperate and to act as human beings. UM. I 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.960 just think that's missing. Yeah, that that that was great. Now. 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.080 I know a lot of people might hear that and go, WHOA, 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.400 that was kind of deep. I'm not exactly sure what 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.200 what that means until we're gonna dig into that. But 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.800 just for everybody listening, I want to really talk about 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.880 where UM, because we have these problems today where we're 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.440 headed because of that UM. Talk about this kind of 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.720 totalitarian UM nightmare that we're kind of starting to have 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:10.760 where the Nation States are just having all this power, 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.679 and then what we can do today to protect ourselves 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.560 and then change that. So make sure if you're listening, 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.640 you're gonna stick around for that because it's gonna get good. 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:20.680 But before we do what I want to what I 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:24.880 wanna do is just you've just mentioned that people have 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.000 lost this ability to break that down, and so I 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.160 also see the same thing where people can't think on 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.360 their own, and so maybe we could just talk through 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.640 how people could actually change that. Obviously not sending people 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.000 back to UM University, but I think you could give 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.120 us some basic tips of how people could start to 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.080 find truth and how they could start thinking. So if 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.040 we can start with that and give people some ways 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.400 to think clearly and have some truth, then we can 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:50.840 show them where the world is going and how we 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:54.400 can solve it. Maybe. So what do you think about that, Like, 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:57.120 how can people think more critically and find that truth? 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:02.280 I think one of the the word that comes to 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.520 mind for me at the moment is responsibility. And I 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:07.960 think one of the things we're taught in today's day 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:14.360 and age is this this kind of palming off of 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.240 our responsibility or our personal agency. We kind of give 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.520 it to someone else to make decisions for us all 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:23.200 the time. It's like, you know, instead of pursuing what 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:26.080 you want to learn your you know, you when you're 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:32.679 at your most you know, individualist and curious and spongy 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:36.480 as a child, you're dumped into basically a sausage machine 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:40.760 of a state indoctrination system which is called schooling, and 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:44.120 you have all your individually individuality bashed out of you 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.080 for twelve years um and you're all taught the same 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.480 ship as everyone else. And you know, you come out 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:51.360 on the other end, and of course you can't think 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.360 for yourself because you didn't choose at any point in 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.920 time what you wanted to pursue. There was no natural 0:08:56.960 --> 0:09:00.280 inclination towards a particular thing. You know. It's it's very 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:04.959 rare that, you know, parents are wise or intelligent enough 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:07.840 to sort of give the room for their children to 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:11.240 sort of move into things that they want to take 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:14.839 responsibility towards pursuing. And you know when, I mean, it's 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.360 really evident when you look at people like Gilla Musk 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:18.600 and all that sort of stuff, you look at their 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.679 younger years and what their parents were like and how 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:24.480 they helped nurture their own individuality. They are the people 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.960 who are changing the world, not the ones who just 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.280 became drones going through school. So like, and to that 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.320 point real quick, it's also interesting to see that a 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:35.560 lot of the people that you mentioned are actual college dropouts. 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:37.400 They actually didn't go all the way through college and 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:41.000 get droned even more correct correct. So, like, I think 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:45.439 individual responsibility is such an important thing. Like I mean, 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:49.000 I call Bitcoin the renaissance of responsibility because everything it does, 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.959 it like it puts the individual back at the locus 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:54.480 of the decision making point. So if we look at 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:59.240 the way the world structured today is monetary decisions are 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:06.280 made by at you, by someone else, you know, political decisions, war, medical, 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:09.199 Who you should hang out like, I mean, particularly twenties, 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:10.760 fucking wild. You know, you're not allowed to hang out 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.319 with anyone. You're not allowed to choose what's healthy for 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:15.560 you or not. You're not allowed to train, you know, 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.240 You're you're told who, how many people you can see, 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.400 You're told who you can spend time with. Like it's 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:26.440 everything that defines an individual as a human being is 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.600 being stripped. All of your personal agency with personal responsibilities 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.120 taken away from you. And it's it's wild. Because I 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.760 had to chat with this this girl that I was 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:38.080 sort of seeing a little while back, and she was 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:41.520 talking about how recently, you know, she's been reading books 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:46.360 about how, you know, setting intention and it's a bit woo, 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:48.480 you know, like I used to be in this into 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:50.679 that whole you know, setting intentions of the universe is 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:52.360 going to bring you all this stuff. You know, I 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.120 don't buy into a lot of that crap anymore. But 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:56.960 she's sort of going on her journey, and I understand 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.480 the journey she's got to go through. But what's important 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.840 about that only is a lot of that woo stuff 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:05.480 kind of the the essence of what it teaches where 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.120 there's some truth is this idea that it brings you 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:12.600 back at cause in terms of the decisions you're making 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.640 in life, and you as the manifesto of your life 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:19.000 in some way, shape or form, uh in you know, 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:22.000 some way responsible and are in more control of your life. 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:24.079 And I was asking because she said I feel much 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.120 better since I started thinking this way and doing this, 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.040 and I inquired, I was like why, It's just like 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:31.200 I don't really know, and then I sort of helped 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:34.160 her extract the y and the wire is because when 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:39.880 you're responsible for yourself, you're truly free, like response like 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:43.280 freedom can only come from responsibility. When you give up 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.640 your responsibility to someone else and you give your ability 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:48.760 to choose, which I believe is your only human right, 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:54.240 you diminish your own freedom, You make your your world smaller, you, 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:58.080 you close up your circle of influence or your you know, 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.920 your your comfort zone, and you become less of a human. 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.040 So so it destroys you from within. So I think 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:07.160 for people to start thinking for themselves, I think they 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:11.200 need to take more responsibility across different elements, and just 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:17.480 stop listening to what some institution like especially stop listening 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:21.120 to fucking the news the experts. As soon as you 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.840 see hear the word expert, run in the opposite direction, 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:29.040 like run for your life or academics or intelligency or 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:32.320 any of that sort of crap. Like find people who 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:37.640 live what they talk or live what they preach um, 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:41.480 you know, discover what their principles start and then apply 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:44.079 those principles, Like look for the same type of principle 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.920 across different areas and then apply it to your own life. 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.679 And take responsibility from the decisions, Like that's how we 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:53.680 become better human beings, not by giving our decision making 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.320 powers away to others. Yeah, that's a great point, and 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.600 it does really start with that responsibility. And to your point, 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:01.880 the program she went through or some of the stuff 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.680 you were into, and I've been through lots of personal development. 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:06.040 I think a lot of us are always trying to 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:09.960 be better person, a better person, but they always talk about, hey, uh, 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.400 you are not a victim right your past. You can't 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.280 change your past, but you can change your future. And 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:20.280 it all starts with taking responsibility today to make the future, 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.199 what you want to be versus what the world is 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:25.400 telling you is it's not your fault you're overweight, you 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.760 can't help it. It's not your fault that you're poor. 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:30.199 And that's what we really see, especially today with politics, 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:33.520 is you can't get ahead because you're a minority, you 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:35.559 can't get ahead because you're a woman, you can't get 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:37.400 ahead because of your sexual preference. And so if they 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:41.120 can make you that victim mentality, then you need that savior. 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.640 But really we're not victims. We take responsibility. So I 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.559 love I love that approach absolutely. Yeah. I think I 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.520 think the victimization, like I call it, we live in 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.520 a world of oppression. Olympics, you know, everyone is arguing 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:56.040 about who the fok is more impressed. You know, I'm sorry, 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.080 not impressed, oppressed. So it's like I'm oppressed because I 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.400 have brown skin. Well I'm oppressed because i have black skin. 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:03.000 Well I'm oppressed because I'm a woman and i have 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.000 black skin. I'm oppressed because I'm a woman, i have 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.000 black skin, I'm a single mom. It's like, well, I'm 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:09.160 more oppressed than you because I have you know, i'm 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:11.000 a woman, i have black skin, I'm a single mom 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:14.000 and my kids retarded. It's like we're going to keep 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:17.679 like arguing about who which minority is more oppressed until 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:21.560 we get down to like the individual anyway. And it's like, 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.080 you know that this is what we've been talking about 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:28.720 from the beginning. It's like the individual is the core 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:30.720 unit and at the end of the day that there 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:34.160 is no one like we can't you can't live in 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:40.040 a society where you know, one group because they argue 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:44.040 more oppressed than others, get some fucking benefit. It's like, 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:48.680 get rid of all of that and put the responsibility 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:51.600 in the individual's hands to do something about it. And 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:56.440 then you know, you have a bottom up approach to change, 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.640 as opposed to this decree top down kind of approach, 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:04.440 which assume that everyone is a poll victim, is some loser, um, 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:06.840 and at the end of the day, some poll group 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:11.520 has to pay for you know, the redistribution to everybody else, 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:15.080 and you know that group has changed over time. But 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.880 it's yeah, it's it's it's sickening, man. So the first 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.640 step is that people have to take responsibility for themselves, 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.640 and somehow we need to convince people that they need 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.920 to do that. UM. And I think. Henry Ford said 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.400 that thinking is hard work. That's why so few people 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:32.520 do it. Do it. And if you understand your body, 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.800 actually thinking requires a ton of energy, and so your 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:38.120 body doesn't even like to think. Your body wants to 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.600 turn everything into habits, right, so it can go through 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:42.920 these motions without thinking. So it's almost like this human 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:46.240 nature is to not think, um because it uses too 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.120 much energy. So we kind of have to force ourselves 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.480 to do that. But but it's super important to do. 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.080 Now if someone wants to take the responsibility and now 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.040 they're getting this information and they're seeing experts telling them 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.800 this thing or that thing, is there some principles that 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.840 you have that could decipher that that could help them 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.520 think about that critically, How they could break that down 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:09.520 or something? Mm hmm. I think you were going into 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.280 an example before we started talking about like the different 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.400 layers of thinking, kind of like on the table is 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.680 kind of that what we were talking about. Yeah, okay, 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:20.120 so so let's let's do two things here. UM, I'll 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:23.040 talk about this concept called the table of truth, but 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.640 then I'll also talk about this, UM, I'll talk about 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:30.920 isolation versus holistic Isolated thinking versus holistic thinking. So what 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:36.000 you find when you're pursuing the truth, I guess is 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:40.800 you'll you'll find a lot of experts and central planet 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:46.360 type intelligencia, you know, academia, bureaucratic morons. They always think 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:53.800 in terms of isolated components and surgically fixing an isolated 0:16:53.840 --> 0:17:00.000 component without the ramifications. It's got to the whole, right So, uh, 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:04.480 you know, a good example of that is um, I mean, 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:06.520 a vaccine is a good example of that. You know, 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:09.320 let's let's you know, let's just assume that Corona is 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.400 real and all that sort of stuff, or that it's 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:15.280 a big threat, right, um, by rushing in or actually 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:17.680 the lockdowns is probably a better example, by rushing in 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:21.040 and closing down all the businesses. They think that they 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:24.760 can solve this problem in isolation, but what they do 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:29.000 is they create a thousand other problems because the whole 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:32.800 system is holistic, and the more we funk with one part, 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:36.760 the more we create these reverberations that spread out throughout 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:39.240 the rest of the system for the system to find 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:42.800 some sort of equilibrium, because you can't deal with things 0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.960 in isolation. And then this is one of the Keynsian problems, 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:48.160 is they think that, Okay, if we print money here, 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.399 we're going to somehow solve the problem. But then they 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:54.160 create another hundred problems. And it's funny. I learned this 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:57.880 lesson viscerally when I was I did start driving when 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:00.400 I was five years old, and one of the things 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:05.280 I learned was when a car is losing control, So 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.240 we would be, you know, driving, and then the teacher 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:11.240 out of nowhere would grab the steering wheel and just 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:14.840 pull it, so the car would just lose control. And 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.080 if you wanted to suck yourself up and flip the 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:20.840 car over, you would grab the steering wheel and try 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.359 and get control. If you wanted to live and not 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:26.640 flip the car over, you let go and the car 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:29.320 finds its own balance. So if you're so, I mean, 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:31.879 if anyone's listening to this and they ever losing control 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:33.760 in a car, you let go of the steering wheel. 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:35.400 You do not touch the break, you do not touch 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:37.720 the acceleraty just let go and the car will find 0:18:37.760 --> 0:18:40.480 its own natural equilibrium. So it's it's a it's a 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:45.600 really interesting um example of any complex system like biology 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:47.520 is the same way. It's like you know, we we 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:49.960 we think like you know, when we're looking at healing 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:52.280 cancer or healing some problem. We go in and we 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:56.600 bombard this one problem with drugs or you know, chemo 0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.280 or this or that, and we think we've eradicated it, 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.560 and then what we find is we've created another ten problems, 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:05.119 and we'll go where did those come from? Oh, well, 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:06.760 you know, let's hit this one. Let's hit and then 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:11.880 we we make the thing worse. So I always look 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:13.800 at when I'm when I'm looking for truth, is is 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.800 this person talking about dealing with an issue or something 0:19:16.840 --> 0:19:20.520 like in pure isolation without thinking about the consequences to 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:23.639 the whole, or are they approaching it in a holistic manner? 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:27.120 So that's one good filter. The other one is this 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:28.800 is this table of truth? And this is something I 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:31.320 think people can apply to just about anything in life. 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:36.640 Is I I'm going to write about it extensively in 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:38.680 a book that I might publish next year or the 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:41.240 year after, whenever I get some god down time. But basically, 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:46.960 the concept I'm calling the table of truth. And basically 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:50.199 the reason I pulled at a table is that you know, 0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:53.200 there's this four legs of objective truth and then this 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:57.280 sort of table of subjective reality. Now it's a working title, 0:19:57.359 --> 0:20:01.680 to bear with me. But effectively we've got leg Number 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:05.879 one is we exist. You know, we live. We're born 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:10.920 in a world of finite material resources. We can't create 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:12.400 it out of their end of like this, So we've 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:16.119 got finite resources. We also live in a world. So 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:21.320 the second leg is time that is fixed and finite. Um. 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:23.280 You know that that's you know, we can't print more time, 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:26.040 we can't go to get more time. Um. We also 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:29.320 live in a world where energy is fixed and finite. 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:32.159 We can't create energy out of nothing. Um. You know, 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:36.080 the perpetual energy machine doesn't exist, perpetual motion you know, 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:39.560 we we can only transform energy and use it. Um. 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:43.159 And then fourth is so there's the fourth objective truth 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:45.359 that these are these are truths that cannot be changed. 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:47.080 That these are what I would call a priority truth. 0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:52.399 The fourth one is that time moves directionally forward. We 0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:55.760 can't move it backwards. Um. And as a result, that 0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:59.879 means the future is always unknown or uncertain. None of 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:01.840 us have a crystal ball. We can't tell the future 0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:05.880 by the very nature of times directionality. So we've got 0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:10.000 these four objective truths. And in the table top of reality, 0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:14.240 I call is we are all unique individuals, and we 0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:20.440
