I'm actually 3 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: on a World Win two. I'm at the fourth conference 4 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: i've been at in ten days. A lot of it's 5 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: been spent with my good friend Alex Fetski here. I've 6 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: had him on the show one time before, and he is, uh, 7 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: he's a deep thinker. He's someone that's really spent a 8 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: lot of time to think things through, um, from multiple 9 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: different angles and so um it's someone like to sit 10 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: down with and bounce ideas off of as I kind 11 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: of work through things myself. So anyway, welcome back to 12 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 1: the show, Alex, Thank you man, and I appreciate the 13 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: comment as usual. Yeah yeah, So, UM, we're gonna dig 14 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: into some stuff today. UM that kind of maybe carries 15 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: from our first interview that we did, and it might 16 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: be a little bit different than the information I bring 17 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: to you on a regular basis. So don't turn this 18 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: off just yet, because it's something that's super important and 19 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: what I want to talk about today is ways to 20 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: think through critical issues. Um. It's something that's very lacking 21 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: that we have today. Um, we're in this like instant 22 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: gratification where where everybody wants to read the headline and 23 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: then draw a conclusion. Right. But I get comments on 24 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: my videos. I'm taking complex subjects stealing them down in 25 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: twenty minutes, and people are like, give me the headline. 26 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, you can't understand the deep subject, right, 27 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: and so, UM, a couple of things that I'm thinking 28 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: through and you can help me with this is just like, um, 29 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: maybe like some sort of a structure or a sequence 30 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: that could help people see through headlines and get to 31 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: a priori truths as you call them, right or as 32 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: they're called or first principles. And so here's something that 33 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: I'm kind of having conversations with a lot about. And 34 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: there's so much distortion in the markets today, UM that 35 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: a lot of times we get stuck making arguments at 36 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: levels that we shouldn't be discussing things. UM. An example 37 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: of this would be, UM, the news breaking out right 38 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: now is Black Rock is buying all the homes up 39 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: and they're stealing the American dream from young couples and 40 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: forcing them into serfdom. Now they have to rent. They're 41 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: buying them for thirty five over market value because they've 42 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: been given free money from the FED. I had nine 43 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: comments on my video saying this is wrong, this is horrible, 44 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: should be illegal, and I agree, but I don't believe 45 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: there should be a law, Like why don't we just 46 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 1: take away the money printer that gives them the money 47 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 1: in the first place. So there's lots of arguments that 48 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: we can make on these We can talk about masks. 49 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: Is that the right argument to makes? Tell me what 50 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: do you think about that? Well, like you said, it's 51 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: it's an argument on the wrong level. So the most 52 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: important thing with all of this stuff is trying to 53 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 1: find a consistent thread because like, if you keep flip 54 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: flopping on morals and principles, it's like I'm for freedom 55 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: of speech, um, and I'm for private property. But like 56 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: that crazy lady that jumped up on stage when Jack 57 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: was speaking speaking, so like I didn't see that, but like, 58 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: you know, someone told me the background story with her, 59 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: and she's like, you know, chained herself like to the 60 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: Twitter headquarters in whatever. There's some jobs out there. But 61 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: the thing is that it's symptomatic thinking versus causal thinking, right, 62 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: so so so that they're trying to deal with the 63 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: symptom and they're saying that's the problem, whereas there's a 64 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: cause back upstream that no one's talking about and no 65 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,119 Speaker 1: one's trying to deal with. And this is where sort 66 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: of bitcoin is differentiate from a lot of other people, 67 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: is that, you know, we've spent time thinking about how 68 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: to remain consistent. In the process of trying to remain 69 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: consistent with our arguments, we've realized that upstream, a lot 70 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: of the problems happen here, and then you get these symptomatic, 71 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: weird after effects that occur in society, like the black 72 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: rocks buying things like you know, tech oligopolies like the 73 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: only reason. So I've got to finish this article at 74 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: some stage, but I'm writing the Rise of the technolgragy 75 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: Dic Leviathan, and the point of that article is about 76 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: how the fact that a monopoly on money existed, like 77 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: the fact that a state exists, actually that institution or 78 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: that organization gave rise to the technocratical Leviathans that are 79 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: taking over now Google's, the Facebook, etcetera. And why they 80 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: Capitalism sort of is like this this energy that you know, 81 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 1: all free markets kind of permeate all existence, like we 82 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: assume beings. All we do is we know, we take 83 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: out time and energy, we take natural resources, and we 84 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,119 Speaker 1: actually do something with these things. So so we're always 85 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: producing something. So you can't actually rip that out of society. 86 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: But you know, in some societies where that is um 87 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: you know, more functional, you get more progress, etcetera. But 88 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: innovation always occurs. Capitalism is always occurring. Now when you 89 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: couple that with a system where you can you know, 90 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: you can shift the what what can we call it 91 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 1: the resource allocation uh in favor of one group to 92 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: another by decree, not through competitive Hey guys, let me 93 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: just interrupt this interview real quick, just to plug the 94 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: show sponsor, and that is Block five. Now. Block five 95 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: is doing amazing things in the bitcoin finance space. As 96 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, they've cracked some really big news 97 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 1: by bringing on the x c f TC UM chair 98 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: Chris gian Carlo Um. And they are one of the 99 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: most transparent, most heavily regulated UM companies inside the United States, 100 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: which gives me a lot of trust into what their 101 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: services are. Now, I've recently did a video talking about 102 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: how to retire off bitcoin, and you can do that 103 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: by leveraging debt and interest against bitcoin. And Block five 104 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: is the number one company in the United States or 105 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: maybe in the world to go to and use UM. 106 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: They are leading the charges there, paying interest on your 107 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: bitcoin if you park it with them, or you can 108 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: borrow against it. Now, as I broke down in that video, 109 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: you can borrow against your bitcoin, and when you take 110 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: debt against it, it's not taxable. It's not a taxable event. 111 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: You can use that debt for anything that you want, 112 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: including to live off of, to leverage up and buy more, 113 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: or roll it into another asset. UM you can do 114 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: something like I've done recently, like sell some real estate 115 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: put that money into bitcoin. Now as that bitcoin price 116 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: has risen, I'm able to borrow against it and go 117 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: back and buy the same real estate or something similar, 118 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: and I still own the bitcoin, and I also own 119 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: the new asset as well. Lots of ways you can 120 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: do this. UM and block five is the company that 121 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: I recommend. Down in the description, I have a link 122 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: that you can click on. If you choose to use 123 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 1: that link, you can earn up the two fifty dollars 124 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: in bitcoin just for using that link. So check out 125 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: block by now. UM not through competition. You get a 126 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: situation where as you're doing it You'll still going to 127 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: want to bet on the most competitive that's that's out there, 128 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,679 Speaker 1: the most innovative, but you create a flywheel effect where 129 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: the couple that are ahead, you're going to give them, 130 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: you know, nitrous ox side, whereas everybody else is not 131 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: going to have it. So you'll end up creating an 132 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: oligopoly around the States. So that's why you know you've 133 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: got your companies like you de pontr fires Is, your Googles, 134 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: your Microsoft, and all of this, because they are the 135 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: beneficiaries of cheap money printing. They are the beneficiaries of 136 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: all of our four oh one case, they are the 137 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: beneficiaries of all of the excessive money that gets dumped 138 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: on Wall Street and everything. So they end up with 139 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: all the money, all the resources, and they can do 140 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: stuff that no smaller competitor can do because they've got 141 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: all of this extra money that they shouldn't have had 142 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: in the first place. But again it's it's an upstream problem. 143 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: Likewise with black Rock and trying to solve the trying 144 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: to fix the symptom, all it's going to do is 145 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: create another set of problems. Is the Cobra effect that 146 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: which we spoke about last time. So so we have 147 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: to like and this is where the stoicism of a 148 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: big poin of really comes in into place. Like as 149 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: much as we might be angry about all of these things, 150 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: I mean, look, I'm a example, I got sense It 151 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: on like I got perma Band off Twitter for nothing, 152 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: like for calling someone a skank, you know, like wow, 153 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: but perma band for something, you know, I spent three 154 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: or four years to build up you know, like a 155 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: like it was a really good profile. Now it's right 156 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: to do that. I'm not angry about that. I'm you know, 157 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: maybe piste off about like the vote police element of it, 158 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: but you know whatever, it's their right to do so. 159 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: But that's not where the problem is. The problem is upstream. 160 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: So I'm wondering if you have some sort of a 161 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: thought process that helps you get down to that level. 162 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: So for example, using the block rock thing as an example, so, um, 163 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: they're buying up homes over, they're putting in single family 164 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: people into serfdom. Now they have to rent. People are 165 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: mad and people tell me that we should pass laws 166 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: to make that illegal. And that's like that seems like 167 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: a knee jerk reaction. As you said, treating the symptom. 168 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: So do you have some sort of a framework that 169 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: maybe like do you just ask why a bunch of times? 170 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: Or like, um, how does the average person that doesn't 171 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: really understand let's get to that level? I mean, is 172 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: there any way to do that? It's I guess this 173 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: is where the first principles that we spoke about last 174 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: time really matter, right, So it's like, you know, what 175 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: what matters to you and let's maybe let's maybe listening. So, like, 176 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 1: you know, do you believe in private property like that 177 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: which is yours? You should have the right to do 178 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: what you want with um and you know the limitation 179 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: or the boundary of that is not to encroach upon, 180 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: you know, what somebody can do with their own private property. 181 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: So you know, so that that's something you know, I 182 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: think we can all largely agree with, unless you're two 183 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: year older socialist as a safe could say. You know, 184 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: another thing would be you know, the freedom or speech 185 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,719 Speaker 1: like that, the right to think and say that what 186 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: you believe. So we agree with that. So it's about 187 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: kind of finding like, you know, what what else do 188 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: you think could be? Um? You know, I think I 189 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: think I think that's good. Right, So if you think 190 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: about it where you have like these I guess you 191 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 1: have to have this this understanding of based truth. So 192 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: private property for example, right, so if I believe in 193 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: private property, Um, but then you're using private property for 194 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: something I have horror. I hate. Well, I don't think 195 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: it should be right for you to do that, But 196 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: I don't want a lot to be passed to make 197 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: it illegal for you to do that, because it's your 198 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: private property and you should have the right to do 199 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: as you see fit. And so I guess it's like this, Uh, 200 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: you're holding these contrasting thoughts in your mind, and maybe 201 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: that's where people have that breakdown. And maybe maybe because 202 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: they don't understand that based truth enough that yes. But 203 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: but then like you know, just to counter that, playing 204 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: devil's advocate is like on the flip side, you know, 205 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: if someone on that side of defense might argue, well, 206 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: we do live in this world of the feat world. 207 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: These guys get an unfair advantage. We're paying for it 208 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: by becoming the surface. How else should we fight for this? 209 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: Should we use the tools of the state to fight 210 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: against the state? You know? So it's like so, so 211 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: there's there's like a question of integrity there's a question 212 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: of there's a question of efficacy, there's a question of 213 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: what works what doesn't work, Like it's and another example 214 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: of this again would be um Twitter banning you. Well, 215 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: they're a private company, they sud have the right for 216 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: refuse service, right and so like, as a business owner, 217 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: I want to retain the right to refuse service to 218 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: whoever I wish, or hire fire whoever I wish. Um, 219 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: but then I'm not happy they're banning people, censoring people. 220 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: And I guess maybe the lines have gotten so muddy 221 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: between the states. Like so this this money system has 222 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: distorted so many things where there's really no way to 223 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 1: have that discussion or come out with any comparable answer. 224 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: There isn't And and this is why I always come 225 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: back full circle to the only way we solve any 226 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: of this stuff is by first bankrupting state. Like, unless 227 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 1: we do that, all we're doing is we're in like 228 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: we're in the heat of battle here, Like we're not 229 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: doing anything. It's old tactical bullshit, Like the only strategy 230 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: that works is bankrupt the state. You turn the tap 231 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: off up here, Like if you want to beat an 232 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: enemy at a wall, you don't go and fight the 233 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: enemy consistently. You go blow up their food, you go 234 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: blow up their water supply. They fucked, they finished, you know, 235 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: like this is like age old strategy, like and that's 236 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: what works. And now you stopped feeding the beast. Stop 237 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: feeding the beast. Like we're literally paying out j List 238 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: And I think I said that to you a someone 239 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: whatever it was, but like we're keeping them in business, 240 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: and then we're wondering why they run such a bad business. Yeah, 241 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: And then it almost like pits us against each other 242 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: because now we're arguing over issues that really you're damned 243 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: if you do damned if you don't. Write, Like either 244 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: side of the issue is not a good outcome, of course, 245 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: and so now you and I are at each other 246 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: talking about that and now maybe we're fighting about it 247 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: when really neither answer is good because the problem doesn't 248 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: get solved or get solved a different level exactly exactly. 249 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: And this is what like all that energy, all that stuff, 250 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: like I mean, you know, I love what geoge is 251 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: doing here at the event and everything, but most of 252 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,959 Speaker 1: the people he is speaking at the event, and I say, 253 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: there's a little due respect, but that sitting here talking 254 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: about like suing the Federal Reserve. It's not gonna do 255 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: anything like, don't sue the Federal Reserve. Get your money 256 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: out of this system, you know, take your wealth, take 257 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: your capacity, and move it out. Like, let's talk about that. 258 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: That's a good point to bring up. So UM, So specifically, 259 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,719 Speaker 1: let's talk about one of these issues. For example, so UM, 260 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: the problem with black rock is pricing people out of homes. 261 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: That's kind of an urgent problem, like we need to 262 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: like this needs to be fixed right now because people 263 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 1: need to go buy homes to live in. Um. Owning 264 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: in private property is one of the base things of 265 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: building an economy. That's important. People should have a home. 266 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: And maybe that's a whole another conversation. But really the 267 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: problem isn't the law of the problem is the FED 268 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: giving them the money. Right, So in that scenario, let's 269 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: not let's not make laws, let's go change the Fed. 270 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: But here's the problem. Going to change the Fed takes 271 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: a really long time. It could be a decade if 272 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: we're lucky before, I don't know, a couple of years whatever. 273 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: If we're lucky before we stop that versus we might 274 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: be able to get a law past in six months. 275 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: So like is it like this multi prong like should 276 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: we wait a decade long term perspective too, to solve 277 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: the problem at its root? Or do we deal with 278 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: it on a more media basis? Okay, so to find 279 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: emergency basis? Okay, what do you mean by solving the 280 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: problem with the FED, Like, do you mean like going 281 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: through day channels to try and solve taking away the money? 282 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: proNT taking away the money print? Yeah? Stop being the beast? 283 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: Yeah so so Yeah, the reality of taking the food 284 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: from the beast is is real, and I believe we'll 285 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: do it, but I believe it's gonna be over a 286 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: long period of time. But we have an immediate need 287 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: right now that a law might be able to fix. 288 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: We might be able to keep the illusion of fixing. Perhaps. Well, 289 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: it fixes the symptom, it treats the symptom. I had heartburn. 290 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: I took an ant acid. It's probably gonna caused more 291 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: problems in my body later, but at least it took 292 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: away the heartburn today. Yeah. Well, this is one of 293 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: those things. It's like, at what point do you draw 294 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: the line? Right? I mean, I don't I don't know, 295 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: I really, I mean, let's let's let's talk through the 296 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: worst case scenary. Let's say we don't do anything, black 297 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: Crow keeps buying houses at overmarket price. What happens then? 298 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: What's the next logan? And they own all the single 299 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: family homes and nobody in America can own a home 300 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: and everybody is a surf on the land renting, okay, 301 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: and then, um, so what happens when the rent can't 302 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: be afforded by black Rock by the people who are 303 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: this surfs? Um, well, then the state will probably subsidize 304 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: that and black Rock will still make its money maybe 305 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: I guess. So people will still get housing that's affordable, 306 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: they just won't own it. M hmm. But as an 307 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: owning private property a key piece of an economy. Yeah. 308 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: But in the world today, I didn't think like whether 309 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: it's black Rock. I mean Australia's PROBA got a bigger 310 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: problem in the U S. And that's that's let's let's 311 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: jump to another one. And I want to be careful 312 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: because it's going to go on YouTube. But we have 313 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: a medical condition going around the world today that may 314 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: or may not be in agreement by a lot of people. 315 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: Will say um, And we have employers today that are 316 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: taking actions against people based off of unsound evidence, um right, 317 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: And so I would like them not to do that. 318 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: So we could pass a law that as business owners 319 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: aren't allowed to take those actions. But then we're taking 320 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: away the rights of business owners to make those actions. 321 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: Or at some point the money print you will dry 322 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: that up and create cause this medical problem to go away. 323 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: But that could be a long time, and now everyone's 324 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: lost their jobs. Look, I spoke about this one, you know, 325 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: when all the discrimination laws were getting put up. It's like, 326 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: you know, what do we do, Like we should stop 327 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: businesses from me able to discriminate against someone. I actually 328 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: think discrimination is healthy, Like I want to discriminate between people. 329 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: I think my friends. I want to discriminate. We do 330 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: everything like that's what I choose. I want to drink, 331 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 1: and everything we do is discrimination exactly so so so 332 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: that's like discernment is part of you know, human action. 333 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: That that's what we must do. Selecting choosing that is 334 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:21,919 Speaker 1: that is discrimination. So as much as the evidence in 335 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: all of the garbage that's associated with all this stuff 336 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: is like unsound, we as as human beings must be 337 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: able to discriminate, and a business must be able to 338 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: choose who it wants to hire, and now it doesn't 339 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 1: want to hire. UM. My point that I made, like 340 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: I use racism as an example in this whole video 341 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 1: that I did, and what I said was, let's say 342 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: you're a white redneck employer and you are hiring someone 343 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,640 Speaker 1: for a particular role. Hey, sorry to interrupt this video 344 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: just one more time. I'm not running Google ads. So 345 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: it's actually way less interruption than I normally would have 346 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 1: on a video. UM. And that's because it's sponsored by 347 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: block five. UM. They are opening up the world of 348 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 1: bitcoin and financial products offering to pay you interest on 349 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 1: your bitcoin. Um better than own in a rental property 350 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: that you have to manage and control and have the risks. 351 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: You can just earn interest on it, or you can 352 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: leverage against it. Now, I plan to hold my bitcoin 353 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: forever and literally never sell my bitcoin. So how do 354 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: you do that? Well, if I need money, I don't 355 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 1: want to sell that bitcoin. I'm gonna pay tax on it, 356 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna end up with less and I 357 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: don't have the bitcoin anymore. So a better way to 358 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: do it is to borrow against the bitcoin. So I've 359 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: put all my money into bitcoin. If I want to 360 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: buy a car or I want to buy a house, 361 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: I can borrow against it at very very low competitive rates. 362 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: Get my house, get my car, whatever that may be, 363 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: and get to keep the bitcoin. I've done a whole 364 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: video on this. You can find it. I'll link it 365 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: down to the description below how to retire off a 366 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,719 Speaker 1: bitcoin without paying taxes and you can do that with 367 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: Block five services. A link to the video down below. 368 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 1: I'm also going to put a link to Block five. 369 00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: If you choose to click on that link to check 370 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: them out. You can run up to two fifty in 371 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: free bitcoin just for using that link. And that's it. 372 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and get back to the interview someone 373 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: who doesn't like them. Why would you even want to 374 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: be there? Like the fact that you know someone is 375 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: forced to like you and forced to hire you based 376 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: on something that they didn't like about, it's actually pathetic. 377 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: So so tying that same pace to this is, you know, 378 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: let businesses not hire the people who don't want to 379 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: be vaxed or whatever, and they can go work somewhere else. 380 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: And that means the people were probably a brain and 381 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 1: a higher intelligence questions are going to go set up 382 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: their own things. Do their own things like yeah, I 383 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: guess the problem with that is um again, and the 384 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: markets are so distorted that then well then the government's 385 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 1: going to pressure all the other companies so they can't 386 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 1: hire people. Um yeah, Like these are these are arguments 387 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: that can't be one because there's no good outcome either way, 388 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: and ultimately it's the system that has to be rebuilt. 389 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: I guess, um. I think it's just hard for most 390 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: people to kind of see down to that level. It 391 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: is and and the question is do we want to 392 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 1: remain consistent whilst right winning and I actually are on 393 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: the side of let's be consistent. Let that Black Rock 394 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 1: buy what they want to buy, Let employers fire who 395 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 1: they want to fire, you know whatever, Like let's just 396 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: let that play out, because it it's not a pretty 397 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: ending either way, and it's about time we stopped creating 398 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: more after effects anyway. We don't need any of that, 399 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 1: like irrespective, Like the thing is, they're going to fire 400 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,239 Speaker 1: all their good people, they're going to keep all their 401 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: ship people whatever, They'll fire some good people, like, they'll 402 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: they'll keep some good people like whatever. The case is, right, 403 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: it's it's going to be messy, but let's just not 404 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: touch any more things like the more we just back 405 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,439 Speaker 1: off stay consistent, and the more we put our energy 406 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: into literally figuring out ways to opt out and figuring 407 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: out ways to to you know, build communities and figuring 408 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 1: out ways to become more resilient and self sufficient in 409 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: groups that are aligned, that's where the energy needs to go. 410 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: Like it's almost to play a game of tennis, like 411 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: you need two people, let's just walk off the court, right, 412 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: I think that you just had like resilience, right, And 413 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: so you talk about like working at a job where 414 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: people hate you or don't want you there. Um, that's 415 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: part of the problem that it's become so hard to survive. UM. 416 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: Our money, our currency as has been used as like 417 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,479 Speaker 1: a savings technology, and it's very poor at that, right, 418 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: So it's losing targeted to lose two value per year, 419 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: and that with the incentives to always spend, has forced 420 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: people to a point where there's no savings. And the 421 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: problem without having savings if you don't be So if 422 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: I had six months or a year of living expenses 423 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: saved up and my employer did something I don't agree with, 424 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: I have the ability to walk off that job because 425 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: I have the money for six months or a year 426 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: to go find other options. But when I'm living paycheck 427 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: to paycheck, I'm I'm a servant and they can abuse 428 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 1: me as they see fit. And again that's back to 429 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:09,719 Speaker 1: another symptom. That's not right, but it's not caused at 430 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,959 Speaker 1: the symptom level. It's caused because the money is not 431 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: good for savings level, and it gets harder and harder 432 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: to survive at the same time. Yeah, it's look this, this, 433 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: this is the tragedy of the commons in action, like 434 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: this is the tragedy of well, the tragedy of the 435 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: commons is when everybody shares everything, so everybody over abuses everything. 436 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 1: So how does that fit into this? I mean, I'm 437 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: I'm saying it on a on a more metal level 438 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: in the sense that you know, we we are in 439 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: a world of collectivism, and we've tried to make everything 440 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: public in a common and we've literally eaten each other alive, 441 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: and everything is so mixed that there is it's hard 442 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: to disseminate between what's private property, what's you know, freedom 443 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: of speech, what's the right to refuse, what's the right 444 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: to discriminate? Like it's all just so messy, and we 445 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: will spend decades trying to pull it apart and try 446 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: and figure out what we should do, what we shouldn't do. 447 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: And and this is this is the cancer of progressive law, 448 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: is that you know, you create one thing, you solve 449 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: one problem, you create ten more. Then you have to 450 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,199 Speaker 1: solve ten problems, you create a hundred. And this is 451 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: where we are, like we're literally at the end of 452 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 1: this path or somewhere near the end of it, where 453 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: the thing is so complex. Now almost anything we do 454 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: is going to break something else. I talked about it 455 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: like a giant oak tree with ten thousand livres, and 456 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 1: we could pull one leave at a time, and that's 457 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: a problem. And we can talk about every little problem 458 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: on that oak tree. But at the bottom, at the base, 459 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: at the root, there's the money, the money printer. And 460 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: so it's like this ball of yarn you pull one pulls, 461 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: but at the end of that yard, it's like at 462 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: the bottom it's the money printer. Yeah. I mean, another 463 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: analogy could be where you know, we're a patient on 464 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: life support. Now that's like being supported by a hundred 465 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: different drugs, and like each of the drugs also interact 466 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,199 Speaker 1: with each other and it's like, you know, now and 467 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: you've got a new problem. Women, you got to add 468 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: another drug in, but that's gonna like wreck everything else. 469 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: Like we're literally the the economy of the world is 470 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: a patient on its last legs. And in some ways 471 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: it's you know, maybe we just this is why I 472 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: like sort of on Rand really battled with this in 473 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 1: Atlas Shrug. You know, for a whole book. She's got 474 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,400 Speaker 1: you know, Dagny on one side, who's like the protagonist 475 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,479 Speaker 1: who she wants to stay and fight because she believes 476 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: that the looters should not take over the world, and 477 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: John Gold and the rest of them are like you 478 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: staying and fighting. You think you're doing the right thing, 479 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: but all you're doing is keeping their thing alive. Um, 480 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 1: you keep it going. And yeah, I like, I mean 481 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: I think of things in like a two prong approach though, 482 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 1: right where it's like we can fight and resist at 483 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: the same time. So you know, earlier we heard from 484 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: a constitutional attorney talking about doing things through the legal system, 485 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: and the legal system, the political system, the education system, 486 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: the media system. They all seem captured and control, like 487 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: there's really not much we can do there, um, but 488 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: we can win battles of perception and um um. It 489 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: seems that there are some things that we can do 490 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: and it's probably gonna have a little effect, but we 491 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: can fight and we can resist. So that's the opt 492 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: in out right. We can take our money out of 493 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 1: the system, stop feeding the beast. Um, we can find 494 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: a way to self sustain ourselves so that way we 495 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 1: can be resilient or resistant to that. So, I don't know, 496 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: I think there's I think there could be a two 497 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: prong approach, but at a multi program pitch. Yeah, So 498 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: like the way I try, and I was having this 499 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: exact conversation with someone, uh the other week or the 500 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: other month or whatever. I said, Bitcoin is the is 501 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: the one percent that you do that has does of 502 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: the damage. That's that's your warhead, right, But there's still 503 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: other things that you need to do, and that's where 504 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: you know, the sovereignty. That's where I mean, what you're 505 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: doing with your channel, what I was doing, you know 506 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: with my Twitter, and but you know what I do 507 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: with my writing and all the other stuff. We are 508 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 1: still having an impact, you know, and we're still having 509 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: a positive impact on we changing perception, we're educating people. 510 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: Were you know, slapping some sentence to some other, etcetera. 511 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: So that needs to continue. And like I I by 512 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: no means us discount or maybe discredit is probably more. 513 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: I probably do discount it a little bit, but I 514 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: don't discredit that. Like I'm happy for people to go 515 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: and fight that fight because it needs to happen. Where 516 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: I sort of get annoyed is when people do that, 517 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: but at the same time, simultaneous they say, oh, yeah, 518 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: but bitcoin is not gonna do anything like that's just 519 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: complete madness, because that is that's that's the fun, that's 520 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 1: the nuclear warhead, that's the big thing. So if we 521 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: look if we look at history throughout revolution cycles, which 522 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: I talked about earlier today over over I mean basically 523 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: all of humanity, it's the cycle of oppression revolution, oppression revolution. 524 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: But it's pretty easy to see right now for anybody, 525 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: we're moving into this the suppression stage, right, so peak centralization, 526 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: but not just that, Like the way technology is being developed, 527 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: it almost looks like the perfect prison could be there. 528 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: And I think it's pretty evident to anybody paying attention 529 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: that they see that. Um So what I mean, what 530 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: other options do we have to break that trend? Yeah, um, 531 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: I guess we have to look at what gives them 532 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: the power to build that oppression. It comes back to 533 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 1: the same thing, right, So look, you know, here's something 534 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 1: to think about that. I've been doing some thinking on 535 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 1: this lately. Everyone talks about let's build a decentralized Twitter, 536 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: let's build a decentralize this, to decentralize that, and all 537 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: this stuff. And my argument is that trying to build 538 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: for decentralization is actually a fool's Errand the only thing 539 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: that creates natural decentralization in the world and in nature 540 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: is competition. And what is happening in the world today 541 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 1: with globalism and with you collectivism, is that it actually 542 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: eliminates competition. Now bitcoin reintroduces competition. So in a bitcoin 543 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: world where you cannot socialize losses and privatized gains, in 544 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: a bitcoin world where anyone at the bottom can earn 545 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: the same type of money that you know, anyone at 546 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: the top zoning, so you've got the capacity to climb 547 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 1: up society and they've got the capacity to fall. In 548 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: that kind of world, what you end up having is 549 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: you end up getting far more fierce competition, and you 550 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: end up getting you won't get like competition where everyone's even, 551 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 1: you get the kind of spread. But that's a perfectly organic, 552 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 1: natural spread. Right. What we have today is a ninety 553 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: nine point nine to zero points zero one, and the 554 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: ninety nine pot nine are all sort of lowering down 555 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 1: to be completely even um, and the zero point zer 556 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: one is this sort of elevated piece. Yeah, everyone thinks 557 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: that socialism is is fairness, but if you look at 558 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: any socialism or fascist or any of those, um, the 559 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: majority of people are even lee poor. Yes, but then 560 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: the top are extremely rich and so it's even more 561 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: wealth and a qualite. Now the difference is instead of 562 00:28:55,160 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: it being seventy thirty, now it's or something way more extreme. 563 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 1: That's the thing or whatever. You can't force people upwards, 564 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: but you can force them down. Verity to exist, we 565 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: might and it must be it must be dynamic. And 566 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: this sort of comes back to, like I wanted to 567 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: finish up the point of like um, equality of outcoming, 568 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: quality of opportunity and equalities like in general is bitcoin 569 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: gives us a quality of opportunity because those at the 570 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: bottom have the capacity to climb, Like everyone has the 571 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: opportunity to climb exactly, and everyone also has the opportunity 572 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: to fall, and it's even across the board, like you 573 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: can fall as much as you can climb. And then 574 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: that creates more competitive pressure in society. It creates more 575 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: competitive upward pressure, and it actually creates a corrective mechanism 576 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: on the way down because you don't have a safety net. 577 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: You're not going to be lied to, implacated that you know, 578 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: it's okay to have nothing in blah blah blah. Right, 579 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: So what we end up getting is we get dynamic inequality, 580 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 1: which is far more natural in society. You know, you 581 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: get you get the growth, you get the correction, you 582 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: get the ups and downs. But it's um, it's able 583 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: to do it itself without what we have in today 584 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: in the field society is actually we have fixed inequality. 585 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: If you're poor, if you're at the bottom, you can't 586 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: climb no matter what you do. Like, the more you work, 587 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: the more you get inflated away, the more you get taxed, 588 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,239 Speaker 1: the more you lose what you have. And if you're 589 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: at the top, simultaneously you can socialize all your losses, 590 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: you can privatize all your gains. And then us idiots 591 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: in the middle who are in the upper and middle, 592 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: lower middle and upper middle class. We pay for both, 593 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: and but we're all fixed. We're stuck there. So so 594 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: we actually live in a class system today, no different 595 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: than the feudal system. In fact, probably worse because it's 596 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: more insidious. Where bitcoin creates, we still have classes and bitcoin, 597 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: you know, we'll have poor, will have you, lower middle class, 598 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: up middle class, will have all of that. But the 599 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: membranes that separate the classes, they're permeable. People will be 600 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:00,040 Speaker 1: able to move up and down them. And then, to 601 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: say fairness too, is that nobody can control it. So 602 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: the Fiat money system is unfair because the people that 603 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: can push the button have an unfair advantage. They give 604 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 1: it to their friends, which gives them a freak advantage. Um, 605 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: so the fact that you own the most of it 606 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: doesn't make it unfair. It's the fact that nobody can 607 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: control it or create more for themselves and their friends 608 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: that creates that fair systems. And so then we're stuck 609 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: back to the way the world should work, which is 610 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: people ask me, well, how are the poor people supposed 611 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: to get it? And they say, well, by providing value 612 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: to those that have it in exchange. Correct, Yeah, So, 613 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 1: so if you in the future and you just nailed 614 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 1: it in the future. If you're a person with no 615 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: bitcoin because you were too um like ginger On, the 616 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: people who are going to have no bitcoin in the 617 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: future are going to fall in a couple of categories. 618 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: They were too dumb, they were too ignorant, they were 619 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,959 Speaker 1: too arrogant, or they genuinely didn't have any access to it, 620 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: or they weren't born. You know, so so they were 621 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 1: born and they're young, right, so so somewhere in those 622 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: five categories. Now you can stay dumb, ignorant, and arrogant 623 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: if you want um or if you're in the other 624 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: two categories where you weren't born, you were too young, 625 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 1: or you just ennuinely didn't hear about it or have 626 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,959 Speaker 1: access to getting any then you go and work like 627 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: you have two options. You either go and work for 628 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: the ship money that you're being paid like you know, 629 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: the f F funny money, or you're gonna work for 630 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: bitcoin and you start accumulating bitcoin. You figure out a 631 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 1: business or service of products, something to provide, and you 632 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: accumulate bitcoin. But the beauty this time is that you 633 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: can actually keep your wealth and know that it's not 634 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: going to be leached by somebody and simultaneously everybody else 635 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: that's creating wealth in the world. Because bitcoin will measure 636 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: everything and there's a fixed amount. As we produce more 637 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: as a planet each the purchasing power of the bitcoin 638 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: actually grows. It's like holding an et f on human productivity. 639 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: So you will benefit in two ways. Your your own 640 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: bitcoin will appreciate in wealth, and you'll continue to compound 641 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: how much bitcoin you have, you know, and then that 642 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: sort of eliminates all this stuff, like you know how 643 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: the fiat model works, like holding getting interest from a 644 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: bank that won't exist anymore because the interest will be 645 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: the increase in you're purchasing power of the bitcoin. So 646 00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: you want to just story bitcoin you don't needs interesting, 647 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: So so it actually changes so many things that we 648 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: think are normal today that it's just going to not exist. Yeah, 649 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 1: So if a purchasing power of my bitcoin increases, I 650 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: don't need to go get interest. Interest is increasing my 651 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: purchasing power. That's the hope, the hope. Yeah, well, interesting, 652 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: Well that's good stuff. Hopefully that helps it helps to 653 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: learn how to think through things. Um, the human body 654 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,959 Speaker 1: is a complex system, just like the world and the economy. 655 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: Of a complex system. So you can't treat symptoms, you 656 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: have to treat the system. Um, so some good stuff. 657 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 1: Alex is a deep thinker.
