WEBVTT - Ways To Think Through Critical Issues | Aleks Svetski

0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 1>M hey everyone, welcome to the episode of The Market

0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Disruptor Show. Today we are live in action. I'm actually

0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:21.560
<v Speaker 1>on a World Win two. I'm at the fourth conference

0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 1>i've been at in ten days. A lot of it's

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:26.000
<v Speaker 1>been spent with my good friend Alex Fetski here. I've

0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 1>had him on the show one time before, and he is, uh,

0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:31.160
<v Speaker 1>he's a deep thinker. He's someone that's really spent a

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of time to think things through, um, from multiple

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:36.800
<v Speaker 1>different angles and so um it's someone like to sit

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>down with and bounce ideas off of as I kind

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:41.479
<v Speaker 1>of work through things myself. So anyway, welcome back to

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:43.559
<v Speaker 1>the show, Alex, Thank you man, and I appreciate the

0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 1>comment as usual. Yeah yeah, So, UM, we're gonna dig

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>into some stuff today. UM that kind of maybe carries

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.199
<v Speaker 1>from our first interview that we did, and it might

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 1>be a little bit different than the information I bring

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>to you on a regular basis. So don't turn this

0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:00.160
<v Speaker 1>off just yet, because it's something that's super important and

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 1>what I want to talk about today is ways to

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 1>think through critical issues. Um. It's something that's very lacking

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 1>that we have today. Um, we're in this like instant

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 1>gratification where where everybody wants to read the headline and

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 1>then draw a conclusion. Right. But I get comments on

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.400
<v Speaker 1>my videos. I'm taking complex subjects stealing them down in

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty minutes, and people are like, give me the headline.

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, dude, you can't understand the deep subject, right,

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.039
<v Speaker 1>and so, UM, a couple of things that I'm thinking

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>through and you can help me with this is just like, um,

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe like some sort of a structure or a sequence

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:35.399
<v Speaker 1>that could help people see through headlines and get to

0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 1>a priori truths as you call them, right or as

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.319
<v Speaker 1>they're called or first principles. And so here's something that

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of having conversations with a lot about. And

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>there's so much distortion in the markets today, UM that

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of times we get stuck making arguments at

0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:58.920
<v Speaker 1>levels that we shouldn't be discussing things. UM. An example

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>of this would be, UM, the news breaking out right

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>now is Black Rock is buying all the homes up

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 1>and they're stealing the American dream from young couples and

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 1>forcing them into serfdom. Now they have to rent. They're

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 1>buying them for thirty five over market value because they've

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 1>been given free money from the FED. I had nine

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 1>comments on my video saying this is wrong, this is horrible,

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 1>should be illegal, and I agree, but I don't believe

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 1>there should be a law, Like why don't we just

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:29.679
<v Speaker 1>take away the money printer that gives them the money

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:31.920
<v Speaker 1>in the first place. So there's lots of arguments that

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>we can make on these We can talk about masks.

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Is that the right argument to makes? Tell me what

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 1>do you think about that? Well, like you said, it's

0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.799
<v Speaker 1>it's an argument on the wrong level. So the most

0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 1>important thing with all of this stuff is trying to

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.919
<v Speaker 1>find a consistent thread because like, if you keep flip

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>flopping on morals and principles, it's like I'm for freedom

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 1>of speech, um, and I'm for private property. But like

0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.799
<v Speaker 1>that crazy lady that jumped up on stage when Jack

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 1>was speaking speaking, so like I didn't see that, but like,

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, someone told me the background story with her,

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:04.960
<v Speaker 1>and she's like, you know, chained herself like to the

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Twitter headquarters in whatever. There's some jobs out there. But

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:18.079
<v Speaker 1>the thing is that it's symptomatic thinking versus causal thinking, right,

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 1>so so so that they're trying to deal with the

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.680
<v Speaker 1>symptom and they're saying that's the problem, whereas there's a

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>cause back upstream that no one's talking about and no

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:29.119
<v Speaker 1>one's trying to deal with. And this is where sort

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:32.200
<v Speaker 1>of bitcoin is differentiate from a lot of other people,

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>is that, you know, we've spent time thinking about how

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 1>to remain consistent. In the process of trying to remain

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 1>consistent with our arguments, we've realized that upstream, a lot

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>of the problems happen here, and then you get these symptomatic,

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 1>weird after effects that occur in society, like the black

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>rocks buying things like you know, tech oligopolies like the

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>only reason. So I've got to finish this article at

0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>some stage, but I'm writing the Rise of the technolgragy

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Dic Leviathan, and the point of that article is about

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 1>how the fact that a monopoly on money existed, like

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>the fact that a state exists, actually that institution or

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>that organization gave rise to the technocratical Leviathans that are

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>taking over now Google's, the Facebook, etcetera. And why they

0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Capitalism sort of is like this this energy that you know,

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:33.359
<v Speaker 1>all free markets kind of permeate all existence, like we

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 1>assume beings. All we do is we know, we take

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.039
<v Speaker 1>out time and energy, we take natural resources, and we

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.119
<v Speaker 1>actually do something with these things. So so we're always

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 1>producing something. So you can't actually rip that out of society.

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.720
<v Speaker 1>But you know, in some societies where that is um

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, more functional, you get more progress, etcetera. But

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:55.719
<v Speaker 1>innovation always occurs. Capitalism is always occurring. Now when you

0:04:56.080 --> 0:05:02.160
<v Speaker 1>couple that with a system where you can you know,

0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 1>you can shift the what what can we call it

0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:10.919
<v Speaker 1>the resource allocation uh in favor of one group to

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>another by decree, not through competitive Hey guys, let me

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.839
<v Speaker 1>just interrupt this interview real quick, just to plug the

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:21.159
<v Speaker 1>show sponsor, and that is Block five. Now. Block five

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 1>is doing amazing things in the bitcoin finance space. As

0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 1>a matter of fact, they've cracked some really big news

0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:29.600
<v Speaker 1>by bringing on the x c f TC UM chair

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Chris gian Carlo Um. And they are one of the

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.719
<v Speaker 1>most transparent, most heavily regulated UM companies inside the United States,

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>which gives me a lot of trust into what their

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.640
<v Speaker 1>services are. Now, I've recently did a video talking about

0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.880
<v Speaker 1>how to retire off bitcoin, and you can do that

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 1>by leveraging debt and interest against bitcoin. And Block five

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.800
<v Speaker 1>is the number one company in the United States or

0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe in the world to go to and use UM.

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 1>They are leading the charges there, paying interest on your

0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin if you park it with them, or you can

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.000
<v Speaker 1>borrow against it. Now, as I broke down in that video,

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.600
<v Speaker 1>you can borrow against your bitcoin, and when you take

0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 1>debt against it, it's not taxable. It's not a taxable event.

0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 1>You can use that debt for anything that you want,

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>including to live off of, to leverage up and buy more,

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.479
<v Speaker 1>or roll it into another asset. UM you can do

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 1>something like I've done recently, like sell some real estate

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 1>put that money into bitcoin. Now as that bitcoin price

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>has risen, I'm able to borrow against it and go

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 1>back and buy the same real estate or something similar,

0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.839
<v Speaker 1>and I still own the bitcoin, and I also own

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:28.920
<v Speaker 1>the new asset as well. Lots of ways you can

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 1>do this. UM and block five is the company that

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I recommend. Down in the description, I have a link

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:35.720
<v Speaker 1>that you can click on. If you choose to use

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.479
<v Speaker 1>that link, you can earn up the two fifty dollars

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 1>in bitcoin just for using that link. So check out

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:45.039
<v Speaker 1>block by now. UM not through competition. You get a

0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:49.240
<v Speaker 1>situation where as you're doing it You'll still going to

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.240
<v Speaker 1>want to bet on the most competitive that's that's out there,

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:56.679
<v Speaker 1>the most innovative, but you create a flywheel effect where

0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:02.039
<v Speaker 1>the couple that are ahead, you're going to give them,

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, nitrous ox side, whereas everybody else is not

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.480
<v Speaker 1>going to have it. So you'll end up creating an

0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 1>oligopoly around the States. So that's why you know you've

0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.640
<v Speaker 1>got your companies like you de pontr fires Is, your Googles,

0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 1>your Microsoft, and all of this, because they are the

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 1>beneficiaries of cheap money printing. They are the beneficiaries of

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.080
<v Speaker 1>all of our four oh one case, they are the

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 1>beneficiaries of all of the excessive money that gets dumped

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 1>on Wall Street and everything. So they end up with

0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:31.320
<v Speaker 1>all the money, all the resources, and they can do

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>stuff that no smaller competitor can do because they've got

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 1>all of this extra money that they shouldn't have had

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>in the first place. But again it's it's an upstream problem.

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Likewise with black Rock and trying to solve the trying

0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 1>to fix the symptom, all it's going to do is

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 1>create another set of problems. Is the Cobra effect that

0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.720
<v Speaker 1>which we spoke about last time. So so we have

0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 1>to like and this is where the stoicism of a

0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 1>big poin of really comes in into place. Like as

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 1>much as we might be angry about all of these things,

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, I'm a example, I got sense It

0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 1>on like I got perma Band off Twitter for nothing,

0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:13.120
<v Speaker 1>like for calling someone a skank, you know, like wow,

0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:15.880
<v Speaker 1>but perma band for something, you know, I spent three

0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 1>or four years to build up you know, like a

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 1>like it was a really good profile. Now it's right

0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 1>to do that. I'm not angry about that. I'm you know,

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe piste off about like the vote police element of it,

0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 1>but you know whatever, it's their right to do so.

0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 1>But that's not where the problem is. The problem is upstream.

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:33.600
<v Speaker 1>So I'm wondering if you have some sort of a

0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:37.080
<v Speaker 1>thought process that helps you get down to that level.

0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:41.560
<v Speaker 1>So for example, using the block rock thing as an example, so, um,

0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 1>they're buying up homes over, they're putting in single family

0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 1>people into serfdom. Now they have to rent. People are

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 1>mad and people tell me that we should pass laws

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.360
<v Speaker 1>to make that illegal. And that's like that seems like

0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:56.240
<v Speaker 1>a knee jerk reaction. As you said, treating the symptom.

0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:58.720
<v Speaker 1>So do you have some sort of a framework that

0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe like do you just ask why a bunch of times?

0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Or like, um, how does the average person that doesn't

0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:07.200
<v Speaker 1>really understand let's get to that level? I mean, is

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.000
<v Speaker 1>there any way to do that? It's I guess this

0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 1>is where the first principles that we spoke about last

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.080
<v Speaker 1>time really matter, right, So it's like, you know, what

0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:16.920
<v Speaker 1>what matters to you and let's maybe let's maybe listening. So, like,

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:21.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, do you believe in private property like that

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 1>which is yours? You should have the right to do

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:28.200
<v Speaker 1>what you want with um and you know the limitation

0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.160
<v Speaker 1>or the boundary of that is not to encroach upon,

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, what somebody can do with their own private property.

0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>So you know, so that that's something you know, I

0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 1>think we can all largely agree with, unless you're two

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.440
<v Speaker 1>year older socialist as a safe could say. You know,

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.960
<v Speaker 1>another thing would be you know, the freedom or speech

0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.719
<v Speaker 1>like that, the right to think and say that what

0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.320
<v Speaker 1>you believe. So we agree with that. So it's about

0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of finding like, you know, what what else do

0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:56.160
<v Speaker 1>you think could be? Um? You know, I think I

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.120
<v Speaker 1>think I think that's good. Right, So if you think

0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 1>about it where you have like these I guess you

0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:04.079
<v Speaker 1>have to have this this understanding of based truth. So

0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.840
<v Speaker 1>private property for example, right, so if I believe in

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.920
<v Speaker 1>private property, Um, but then you're using private property for

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:14.320
<v Speaker 1>something I have horror. I hate. Well, I don't think

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:18.760
<v Speaker 1>it should be right for you to do that, But

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't want a lot to be passed to make

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.040
<v Speaker 1>it illegal for you to do that, because it's your

0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:24.800
<v Speaker 1>private property and you should have the right to do

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.560
<v Speaker 1>as you see fit. And so I guess it's like this, Uh,

0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:31.440
<v Speaker 1>you're holding these contrasting thoughts in your mind, and maybe

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 1>that's where people have that breakdown. And maybe maybe because

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:39.520
<v Speaker 1>they don't understand that based truth enough that yes. But

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.080
<v Speaker 1>but then like you know, just to counter that, playing

0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:44.199
<v Speaker 1>devil's advocate is like on the flip side, you know,

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 1>if someone on that side of defense might argue, well,

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.080
<v Speaker 1>we do live in this world of the feat world.

0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:53.480
<v Speaker 1>These guys get an unfair advantage. We're paying for it

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.080
<v Speaker 1>by becoming the surface. How else should we fight for this?

0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Should we use the tools of the state to fight

0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.360
<v Speaker 1>against the state? You know? So it's like so, so

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>there's there's like a question of integrity there's a question

0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 1>of there's a question of efficacy, there's a question of

0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:11.960
<v Speaker 1>what works what doesn't work, Like it's and another example

0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 1>of this again would be um Twitter banning you. Well,

0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:19.760
<v Speaker 1>they're a private company, they sud have the right for

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:23.440
<v Speaker 1>refuse service, right and so like, as a business owner,

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I want to retain the right to refuse service to

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 1>whoever I wish, or hire fire whoever I wish. Um,

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 1>but then I'm not happy they're banning people, censoring people.

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.400
<v Speaker 1>And I guess maybe the lines have gotten so muddy

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.840
<v Speaker 1>between the states. Like so this this money system has

0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:43.440
<v Speaker 1>distorted so many things where there's really no way to

0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:46.960
<v Speaker 1>have that discussion or come out with any comparable answer.

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.720
<v Speaker 1>There isn't And and this is why I always come

0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:52.480
<v Speaker 1>back full circle to the only way we solve any

0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 1>of this stuff is by first bankrupting state. Like, unless

0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.959
<v Speaker 1>we do that, all we're doing is we're in like

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:00.880
<v Speaker 1>we're in the heat of battle here, Like we're not

0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 1>doing anything. It's old tactical bullshit, Like the only strategy

0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:07.240
<v Speaker 1>that works is bankrupt the state. You turn the tap

0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 1>off up here, Like if you want to beat an

0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.320
<v Speaker 1>enemy at a wall, you don't go and fight the

0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:13.640
<v Speaker 1>enemy consistently. You go blow up their food, you go

0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:16.920
<v Speaker 1>blow up their water supply. They fucked, they finished, you know,

0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:21.040
<v Speaker 1>like this is like age old strategy, like and that's

0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 1>what works. And now you stopped feeding the beast. Stop

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 1>feeding the beast. Like we're literally paying out j List

0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:27.680
<v Speaker 1>And I think I said that to you a someone

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 1>whatever it was, but like we're keeping them in business,

0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:36.720
<v Speaker 1>and then we're wondering why they run such a bad business. Yeah,

0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:39.200
<v Speaker 1>And then it almost like pits us against each other

0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:43.720
<v Speaker 1>because now we're arguing over issues that really you're damned

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:45.959
<v Speaker 1>if you do damned if you don't. Write, Like either

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.200
<v Speaker 1>side of the issue is not a good outcome, of course,

0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:51.080
<v Speaker 1>and so now you and I are at each other

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:55.280
<v Speaker 1>talking about that and now maybe we're fighting about it

0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:59.040
<v Speaker 1>when really neither answer is good because the problem doesn't

0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.360
<v Speaker 1>get solved or get solved a different level exactly exactly.

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.920
<v Speaker 1>And this is what like all that energy, all that stuff,

0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:05.679
<v Speaker 1>like I mean, you know, I love what geoge is

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:07.280
<v Speaker 1>doing here at the event and everything, but most of

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:08.959
<v Speaker 1>the people he is speaking at the event, and I say,

0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:10.880
<v Speaker 1>there's a little due respect, but that sitting here talking

0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:15.720
<v Speaker 1>about like suing the Federal Reserve. It's not gonna do

0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:19.600
<v Speaker 1>anything like, don't sue the Federal Reserve. Get your money

0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.240
<v Speaker 1>out of this system, you know, take your wealth, take

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 1>your capacity, and move it out. Like, let's talk about that.

0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.960
<v Speaker 1>That's a good point to bring up. So UM, So specifically,

0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.719
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about one of these issues. For example, so UM,

0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.640
<v Speaker 1>the problem with black rock is pricing people out of homes.

0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:37.360
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of an urgent problem, like we need to

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 1>like this needs to be fixed right now because people

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:42.439
<v Speaker 1>need to go buy homes to live in. Um. Owning

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 1>in private property is one of the base things of

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.640
<v Speaker 1>building an economy. That's important. People should have a home.

0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:51.280
<v Speaker 1>And maybe that's a whole another conversation. But really the

0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.080
<v Speaker 1>problem isn't the law of the problem is the FED

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:57.240
<v Speaker 1>giving them the money. Right, So in that scenario, let's

0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 1>not let's not make laws, let's go change the Fed.

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.000
<v Speaker 1>But here's the problem. Going to change the Fed takes

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.880
<v Speaker 1>a really long time. It could be a decade if

0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.720
<v Speaker 1>we're lucky before, I don't know, a couple of years whatever.

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 1>If we're lucky before we stop that versus we might

0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:13.960
<v Speaker 1>be able to get a law past in six months.

0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 1>So like is it like this multi prong like should

0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:21.320
<v Speaker 1>we wait a decade long term perspective too, to solve

0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 1>the problem at its root? Or do we deal with

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.720
<v Speaker 1>it on a more media basis? Okay, so to find

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:31.520
<v Speaker 1>emergency basis? Okay, what do you mean by solving the

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 1>problem with the FED, Like, do you mean like going

0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:35.720
<v Speaker 1>through day channels to try and solve taking away the money?

0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.000
<v Speaker 1>proNT taking away the money print? Yeah? Stop being the beast?

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah so so Yeah, the reality of taking the food

0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.720
<v Speaker 1>from the beast is is real, and I believe we'll

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:43.960
<v Speaker 1>do it, but I believe it's gonna be over a

0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.360
<v Speaker 1>long period of time. But we have an immediate need

0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:48.440
<v Speaker 1>right now that a law might be able to fix.

0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 1>We might be able to keep the illusion of fixing. Perhaps. Well,

0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:58.280
<v Speaker 1>it fixes the symptom, it treats the symptom. I had heartburn.

0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I took an ant acid. It's probably gonna caused more

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.080
<v Speaker 1>problems in my body later, but at least it took

0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:05.000
<v Speaker 1>away the heartburn today. Yeah. Well, this is one of

0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 1>those things. It's like, at what point do you draw

0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the line? Right? I mean, I don't I don't know,

0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:12.520
<v Speaker 1>I really, I mean, let's let's let's talk through the

0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:14.880
<v Speaker 1>worst case scenary. Let's say we don't do anything, black

0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Crow keeps buying houses at overmarket price. What happens then?

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:20.640
<v Speaker 1>What's the next logan? And they own all the single

0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.000
<v Speaker 1>family homes and nobody in America can own a home

0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and everybody is a surf on the land renting, okay,

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:31.000
<v Speaker 1>and then, um, so what happens when the rent can't

0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 1>be afforded by black Rock by the people who are

0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:39.760
<v Speaker 1>this surfs? Um, well, then the state will probably subsidize

0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.360
<v Speaker 1>that and black Rock will still make its money maybe

0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I guess. So people will still get housing that's affordable,

0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:51.920
<v Speaker 1>they just won't own it. M hmm. But as an

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:56.120
<v Speaker 1>owning private property a key piece of an economy. Yeah.

0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.520
<v Speaker 1>But in the world today, I didn't think like whether

0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:00.480
<v Speaker 1>it's black Rock. I mean Australia's PROBA got a bigger

0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.120
<v Speaker 1>problem in the U S. And that's that's let's let's

0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:04.640
<v Speaker 1>jump to another one. And I want to be careful

0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:06.840
<v Speaker 1>because it's going to go on YouTube. But we have

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.040
<v Speaker 1>a medical condition going around the world today that may

0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:14.600
<v Speaker 1>or may not be in agreement by a lot of people.

0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Will say um, And we have employers today that are

0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:23.560
<v Speaker 1>taking actions against people based off of unsound evidence, um right,

0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.640
<v Speaker 1>And so I would like them not to do that.

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:28.920
<v Speaker 1>So we could pass a law that as business owners

0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.480
<v Speaker 1>aren't allowed to take those actions. But then we're taking

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 1>away the rights of business owners to make those actions.

0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Or at some point the money print you will dry

0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:42.320
<v Speaker 1>that up and create cause this medical problem to go away.

0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:43.880
<v Speaker 1>But that could be a long time, and now everyone's

0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:47.560
<v Speaker 1>lost their jobs. Look, I spoke about this one, you know,

0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 1>when all the discrimination laws were getting put up. It's like,

0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:51.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, what do we do, Like we should stop

0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.440
<v Speaker 1>businesses from me able to discriminate against someone. I actually

0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:59.880
<v Speaker 1>think discrimination is healthy, Like I want to discriminate between people.

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I think my friends. I want to discriminate. We do

0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:04.720
<v Speaker 1>everything like that's what I choose. I want to drink,

0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:08.919
<v Speaker 1>and everything we do is discrimination exactly so so so

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:12.440
<v Speaker 1>that's like discernment is part of you know, human action.

0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.600
<v Speaker 1>That that's what we must do. Selecting choosing that is

0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:21.919
<v Speaker 1>that is discrimination. So as much as the evidence in

0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:24.280
<v Speaker 1>all of the garbage that's associated with all this stuff

0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:32.480
<v Speaker 1>is like unsound, we as as human beings must be

0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:35.600
<v Speaker 1>able to discriminate, and a business must be able to

0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:37.520
<v Speaker 1>choose who it wants to hire, and now it doesn't

0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:40.120
<v Speaker 1>want to hire. UM. My point that I made, like

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.440
<v Speaker 1>I use racism as an example in this whole video

0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:46.360
<v Speaker 1>that I did, and what I said was, let's say

0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:52.040
<v Speaker 1>you're a white redneck employer and you are hiring someone

0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:55.640
<v Speaker 1>for a particular role. Hey, sorry to interrupt this video

0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:58.159
<v Speaker 1>just one more time. I'm not running Google ads. So

0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.639
<v Speaker 1>it's actually way less interruption than I normally would have

0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:02.920
<v Speaker 1>on a video. UM. And that's because it's sponsored by

0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:06.280
<v Speaker 1>block five. UM. They are opening up the world of

0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:09.679
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin and financial products offering to pay you interest on

0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:12.639
<v Speaker 1>your bitcoin. Um better than own in a rental property

0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:14.600
<v Speaker 1>that you have to manage and control and have the risks.

0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:16.680
<v Speaker 1>You can just earn interest on it, or you can

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.600
<v Speaker 1>leverage against it. Now, I plan to hold my bitcoin

0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.840
<v Speaker 1>forever and literally never sell my bitcoin. So how do

0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:25.080
<v Speaker 1>you do that? Well, if I need money, I don't

0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:27.199
<v Speaker 1>want to sell that bitcoin. I'm gonna pay tax on it,

0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:29.199
<v Speaker 1>all right, I'm gonna end up with less and I

0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:31.600
<v Speaker 1>don't have the bitcoin anymore. So a better way to

0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:34.280
<v Speaker 1>do it is to borrow against the bitcoin. So I've

0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:36.399
<v Speaker 1>put all my money into bitcoin. If I want to

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:38.200
<v Speaker 1>buy a car or I want to buy a house,

0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:41.920
<v Speaker 1>I can borrow against it at very very low competitive rates.

0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:43.960
<v Speaker 1>Get my house, get my car, whatever that may be,

0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:46.720
<v Speaker 1>and get to keep the bitcoin. I've done a whole

0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:49.080
<v Speaker 1>video on this. You can find it. I'll link it

0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:51.280
<v Speaker 1>down to the description below how to retire off a

0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:53.719
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin without paying taxes and you can do that with

0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Block five services. A link to the video down below.

0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:57.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm also going to put a link to Block five.

0:18:57.960 --> 0:18:59.600
<v Speaker 1>If you choose to click on that link to check

0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:02.080
<v Speaker 1>them out. You can run up to two fifty in

0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.359
<v Speaker 1>free bitcoin just for using that link. And that's it.

0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Let's go ahead and get back to the interview someone

0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:08.480
<v Speaker 1>who doesn't like them. Why would you even want to

0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:11.480
<v Speaker 1>be there? Like the fact that you know someone is

0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:13.960
<v Speaker 1>forced to like you and forced to hire you based

0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.840
<v Speaker 1>on something that they didn't like about, it's actually pathetic.

0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:22.080
<v Speaker 1>So so tying that same pace to this is, you know,

0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:24.920
<v Speaker 1>let businesses not hire the people who don't want to

0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:28.720
<v Speaker 1>be vaxed or whatever, and they can go work somewhere else.

0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:31.080
<v Speaker 1>And that means the people were probably a brain and

0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:33.679
<v Speaker 1>a higher intelligence questions are going to go set up

0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:36.600
<v Speaker 1>their own things. Do their own things like yeah, I

0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:39.359
<v Speaker 1>guess the problem with that is um again, and the

0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:43.240
<v Speaker 1>markets are so distorted that then well then the government's

0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:45.400
<v Speaker 1>going to pressure all the other companies so they can't

0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:50.640
<v Speaker 1>hire people. Um yeah, Like these are these are arguments

0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:53.920
<v Speaker 1>that can't be one because there's no good outcome either way,

0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:56.960
<v Speaker 1>and ultimately it's the system that has to be rebuilt.

0:19:57.000 --> 0:20:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I guess, um. I think it's just hard for most

0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:02.520
<v Speaker 1>people to kind of see down to that level. It

0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:04.840
<v Speaker 1>is and and the question is do we want to

0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:10.439
<v Speaker 1>remain consistent whilst right winning and I actually are on

0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:13.480
<v Speaker 1>the side of let's be consistent. Let that Black Rock

0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:15.199
<v Speaker 1>buy what they want to buy, Let employers fire who

0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:18.119
<v Speaker 1>they want to fire, you know whatever, Like let's just

0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:22.560
<v Speaker 1>let that play out, because it it's not a pretty

0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:25.600
<v Speaker 1>ending either way, and it's about time we stopped creating

0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:28.040
<v Speaker 1>more after effects anyway. We don't need any of that,

0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:31.680
<v Speaker 1>like irrespective, Like the thing is, they're going to fire

0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:33.239
<v Speaker 1>all their good people, they're going to keep all their

0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:36.720
<v Speaker 1>ship people whatever, They'll fire some good people, like, they'll

0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:39.399
<v Speaker 1>they'll keep some good people like whatever. The case is, right,

0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:41.080
<v Speaker 1>it's it's going to be messy, but let's just not

0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:43.080
<v Speaker 1>touch any more things like the more we just back

0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:46.439
<v Speaker 1>off stay consistent, and the more we put our energy

0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:52.159
<v Speaker 1>into literally figuring out ways to opt out and figuring

0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:56.359
<v Speaker 1>out ways to to you know, build communities and figuring

0:20:56.400 --> 0:21:00.199
<v Speaker 1>out ways to become more resilient and self sufficient in

0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:03.520
<v Speaker 1>groups that are aligned, that's where the energy needs to go.

0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Like it's almost to play a game of tennis, like

0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:10.760
<v Speaker 1>you need two people, let's just walk off the court, right,

0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:14.359
<v Speaker 1>I think that you just had like resilience, right, And

0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:16.480
<v Speaker 1>so you talk about like working at a job where

0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:19.480
<v Speaker 1>people hate you or don't want you there. Um, that's

0:21:19.520 --> 0:21:23.800
<v Speaker 1>part of the problem that it's become so hard to survive. UM.

0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Our money, our currency as has been used as like

0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:30.479
<v Speaker 1>a savings technology, and it's very poor at that, right,

0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:34.520
<v Speaker 1>So it's losing targeted to lose two value per year,

0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:39.119
<v Speaker 1>and that with the incentives to always spend, has forced

0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:41.760
<v Speaker 1>people to a point where there's no savings. And the

0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:45.280
<v Speaker 1>problem without having savings if you don't be So if

0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:48.560
<v Speaker 1>I had six months or a year of living expenses

0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:51.320
<v Speaker 1>saved up and my employer did something I don't agree with,

0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:54.399
<v Speaker 1>I have the ability to walk off that job because

0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I have the money for six months or a year

0:21:56.160 --> 0:21:58.520
<v Speaker 1>to go find other options. But when I'm living paycheck

0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:01.800
<v Speaker 1>to paycheck, I'm I'm a servant and they can abuse

0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:04.679
<v Speaker 1>me as they see fit. And again that's back to

0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:09.719
<v Speaker 1>another symptom. That's not right, but it's not caused at

0:22:09.760 --> 0:22:11.959
<v Speaker 1>the symptom level. It's caused because the money is not

0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:14.880
<v Speaker 1>good for savings level, and it gets harder and harder

0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:20.119
<v Speaker 1>to survive at the same time. Yeah, it's look this, this,

0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:23.879
<v Speaker 1>this is the tragedy of the commons in action, like

0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:26.560
<v Speaker 1>this is the tragedy of well, the tragedy of the

0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:29.879
<v Speaker 1>commons is when everybody shares everything, so everybody over abuses everything.

0:22:30.000 --> 0:22:33.119
<v Speaker 1>So how does that fit into this? I mean, I'm

0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying it on a on a more metal level

0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:36.600
<v Speaker 1>in the sense that you know, we we are in

0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:39.840
<v Speaker 1>a world of collectivism, and we've tried to make everything

0:22:39.880 --> 0:22:43.119
<v Speaker 1>public in a common and we've literally eaten each other alive,

0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:47.080
<v Speaker 1>and everything is so mixed that there is it's hard

0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:50.600
<v Speaker 1>to disseminate between what's private property, what's you know, freedom

0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:53.639
<v Speaker 1>of speech, what's the right to refuse, what's the right

0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:59.080
<v Speaker 1>to discriminate? Like it's all just so messy, and we

0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:03.600
<v Speaker 1>will spend decades trying to pull it apart and try

0:23:03.600 --> 0:23:05.480
<v Speaker 1>and figure out what we should do, what we shouldn't do.

0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:10.000
<v Speaker 1>And and this is this is the cancer of progressive law,

0:23:10.400 --> 0:23:12.920
<v Speaker 1>is that you know, you create one thing, you solve

0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:14.879
<v Speaker 1>one problem, you create ten more. Then you have to

0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:17.199
<v Speaker 1>solve ten problems, you create a hundred. And this is

0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:19.040
<v Speaker 1>where we are, like we're literally at the end of

0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:22.159
<v Speaker 1>this path or somewhere near the end of it, where

0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:25.760
<v Speaker 1>the thing is so complex. Now almost anything we do

0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:28.760
<v Speaker 1>is going to break something else. I talked about it

0:23:28.840 --> 0:23:31.720
<v Speaker 1>like a giant oak tree with ten thousand livres, and

0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:33.400
<v Speaker 1>we could pull one leave at a time, and that's

0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:35.240
<v Speaker 1>a problem. And we can talk about every little problem

0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:37.600
<v Speaker 1>on that oak tree. But at the bottom, at the base,

0:23:37.760 --> 0:23:42.040
<v Speaker 1>at the root, there's the money, the money printer. And

0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:44.760
<v Speaker 1>so it's like this ball of yarn you pull one pulls,

0:23:44.800 --> 0:23:46.879
<v Speaker 1>but at the end of that yard, it's like at

0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:49.320
<v Speaker 1>the bottom it's the money printer. Yeah. I mean, another

0:23:49.359 --> 0:23:51.800
<v Speaker 1>analogy could be where you know, we're a patient on

0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:54.359
<v Speaker 1>life support. Now that's like being supported by a hundred

0:23:54.400 --> 0:23:57.280
<v Speaker 1>different drugs, and like each of the drugs also interact

0:23:57.359 --> 0:23:59.199
<v Speaker 1>with each other and it's like, you know, now and

0:23:59.240 --> 0:24:00.680
<v Speaker 1>you've got a new problem. Women, you got to add

0:24:00.680 --> 0:24:03.240
<v Speaker 1>another drug in, but that's gonna like wreck everything else.

0:24:03.240 --> 0:24:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Like we're literally the the economy of the world is

0:24:05.680 --> 0:24:10.560
<v Speaker 1>a patient on its last legs. And in some ways

0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:13.320
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, maybe we just this is why I

0:24:13.359 --> 0:24:16.000
<v Speaker 1>like sort of on Rand really battled with this in

0:24:16.119 --> 0:24:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Atlas Shrug. You know, for a whole book. She's got

0:24:18.160 --> 0:24:21.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, Dagny on one side, who's like the protagonist

0:24:21.480 --> 0:24:24.479
<v Speaker 1>who she wants to stay and fight because she believes

0:24:24.560 --> 0:24:27.159
<v Speaker 1>that the looters should not take over the world, and

0:24:27.280 --> 0:24:30.080
<v Speaker 1>John Gold and the rest of them are like you

0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:32.200
<v Speaker 1>staying and fighting. You think you're doing the right thing,

0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:35.240
<v Speaker 1>but all you're doing is keeping their thing alive. Um,

0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:38.120
<v Speaker 1>you keep it going. And yeah, I like, I mean

0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I think of things in like a two prong approach though,

0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:42.880
<v Speaker 1>right where it's like we can fight and resist at

0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:46.560
<v Speaker 1>the same time. So you know, earlier we heard from

0:24:46.560 --> 0:24:49.879
<v Speaker 1>a constitutional attorney talking about doing things through the legal system,

0:24:49.920 --> 0:24:52.720
<v Speaker 1>and the legal system, the political system, the education system,

0:24:52.760 --> 0:24:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the media system. They all seem captured and control, like

0:24:55.040 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 1>there's really not much we can do there, um, but

0:24:58.119 --> 0:25:05.119
<v Speaker 1>we can win battles of perception and um um. It

0:25:05.200 --> 0:25:07.000
<v Speaker 1>seems that there are some things that we can do

0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:08.520
<v Speaker 1>and it's probably gonna have a little effect, but we

0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:10.639
<v Speaker 1>can fight and we can resist. So that's the opt

0:25:10.640 --> 0:25:12.320
<v Speaker 1>in out right. We can take our money out of

0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:15.400
<v Speaker 1>the system, stop feeding the beast. Um, we can find

0:25:15.440 --> 0:25:17.560
<v Speaker 1>a way to self sustain ourselves so that way we

0:25:17.560 --> 0:25:20.919
<v Speaker 1>can be resilient or resistant to that. So, I don't know,

0:25:20.960 --> 0:25:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I think there's I think there could be a two

0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:26.280
<v Speaker 1>prong approach, but at a multi program pitch. Yeah, So

0:25:26.359 --> 0:25:28.960
<v Speaker 1>like the way I try, and I was having this

0:25:29.040 --> 0:25:31.760
<v Speaker 1>exact conversation with someone, uh the other week or the

0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:34.280
<v Speaker 1>other month or whatever. I said, Bitcoin is the is

0:25:34.320 --> 0:25:38.119
<v Speaker 1>the one percent that you do that has does of

0:25:38.119 --> 0:25:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the damage. That's that's your warhead, right, But there's still

0:25:41.800 --> 0:25:44.359
<v Speaker 1>other things that you need to do, and that's where

0:25:44.480 --> 0:25:47.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, the sovereignty. That's where I mean, what you're

0:25:47.040 --> 0:25:48.879
<v Speaker 1>doing with your channel, what I was doing, you know

0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:50.720
<v Speaker 1>with my Twitter, and but you know what I do

0:25:50.800 --> 0:25:53.080
<v Speaker 1>with my writing and all the other stuff. We are

0:25:53.119 --> 0:25:55.400
<v Speaker 1>still having an impact, you know, and we're still having

0:25:55.440 --> 0:25:58.000
<v Speaker 1>a positive impact on we changing perception, we're educating people.

0:25:58.040 --> 0:26:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Were you know, slapping some sentence to some other, etcetera.

0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:03.800
<v Speaker 1>So that needs to continue. And like I I by

0:26:04.080 --> 0:26:10.320
<v Speaker 1>no means us discount or maybe discredit is probably more.

0:26:10.320 --> 0:26:12.119
<v Speaker 1>I probably do discount it a little bit, but I

0:26:12.119 --> 0:26:14.040
<v Speaker 1>don't discredit that. Like I'm happy for people to go

0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:17.040
<v Speaker 1>and fight that fight because it needs to happen. Where

0:26:17.119 --> 0:26:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I sort of get annoyed is when people do that,

0:26:20.280 --> 0:26:22.840
<v Speaker 1>but at the same time, simultaneous they say, oh, yeah,

0:26:22.840 --> 0:26:25.560
<v Speaker 1>but bitcoin is not gonna do anything like that's just

0:26:25.800 --> 0:26:28.840
<v Speaker 1>complete madness, because that is that's that's the fun, that's

0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:31.919
<v Speaker 1>the nuclear warhead, that's the big thing. So if we

0:26:32.080 --> 0:26:35.800
<v Speaker 1>look if we look at history throughout revolution cycles, which

0:26:35.840 --> 0:26:40.760
<v Speaker 1>I talked about earlier today over over I mean basically

0:26:40.800 --> 0:26:44.600
<v Speaker 1>all of humanity, it's the cycle of oppression revolution, oppression revolution.

0:26:44.960 --> 0:26:47.120
<v Speaker 1>But it's pretty easy to see right now for anybody,

0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:52.760
<v Speaker 1>we're moving into this the suppression stage, right, so peak centralization,

0:26:52.840 --> 0:26:56.040
<v Speaker 1>but not just that, Like the way technology is being developed,

0:26:56.040 --> 0:26:58.960
<v Speaker 1>it almost looks like the perfect prison could be there.

0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:02.080
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's pretty evident to anybody paying attention

0:27:02.119 --> 0:27:05.960
<v Speaker 1>that they see that. Um So what I mean, what

0:27:06.040 --> 0:27:10.960
<v Speaker 1>other options do we have to break that trend? Yeah, um,

0:27:11.000 --> 0:27:12.520
<v Speaker 1>I guess we have to look at what gives them

0:27:12.520 --> 0:27:15.280
<v Speaker 1>the power to build that oppression. It comes back to

0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:19.160
<v Speaker 1>the same thing, right, So look, you know, here's something

0:27:19.160 --> 0:27:20.879
<v Speaker 1>to think about that. I've been doing some thinking on

0:27:20.920 --> 0:27:23.920
<v Speaker 1>this lately. Everyone talks about let's build a decentralized Twitter,

0:27:24.000 --> 0:27:26.240
<v Speaker 1>let's build a decentralize this, to decentralize that, and all

0:27:26.280 --> 0:27:30.840
<v Speaker 1>this stuff. And my argument is that trying to build

0:27:31.000 --> 0:27:36.800
<v Speaker 1>for decentralization is actually a fool's Errand the only thing

0:27:36.880 --> 0:27:40.600
<v Speaker 1>that creates natural decentralization in the world and in nature

0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:44.680
<v Speaker 1>is competition. And what is happening in the world today

0:27:44.720 --> 0:27:48.400
<v Speaker 1>with globalism and with you collectivism, is that it actually

0:27:48.960 --> 0:27:54.760
<v Speaker 1>eliminates competition. Now bitcoin reintroduces competition. So in a bitcoin

0:27:54.840 --> 0:27:58.280
<v Speaker 1>world where you cannot socialize losses and privatized gains, in

0:27:58.320 --> 0:28:02.399
<v Speaker 1>a bitcoin world where anyone at the bottom can earn

0:28:02.480 --> 0:28:04.520
<v Speaker 1>the same type of money that you know, anyone at

0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the top zoning, so you've got the capacity to climb

0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:09.119
<v Speaker 1>up society and they've got the capacity to fall. In

0:28:09.160 --> 0:28:11.119
<v Speaker 1>that kind of world, what you end up having is

0:28:11.200 --> 0:28:15.320
<v Speaker 1>you end up getting far more fierce competition, and you

0:28:15.359 --> 0:28:19.240
<v Speaker 1>end up getting you won't get like competition where everyone's even,

0:28:19.600 --> 0:28:23.159
<v Speaker 1>you get the kind of spread. But that's a perfectly organic,

0:28:23.240 --> 0:28:26.640
<v Speaker 1>natural spread. Right. What we have today is a ninety

0:28:26.720 --> 0:28:29.399
<v Speaker 1>nine point nine to zero points zero one, and the

0:28:29.480 --> 0:28:32.280
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine pot nine are all sort of lowering down

0:28:32.320 --> 0:28:35.199
<v Speaker 1>to be completely even um, and the zero point zer

0:28:35.320 --> 0:28:38.080
<v Speaker 1>one is this sort of elevated piece. Yeah, everyone thinks

0:28:38.080 --> 0:28:42.080
<v Speaker 1>that socialism is is fairness, but if you look at

0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:45.280
<v Speaker 1>any socialism or fascist or any of those, um, the

0:28:45.360 --> 0:28:49.080
<v Speaker 1>majority of people are even lee poor. Yes, but then

0:28:49.120 --> 0:28:53.120
<v Speaker 1>the top are extremely rich and so it's even more

0:28:53.160 --> 0:28:55.160
<v Speaker 1>wealth and a qualite. Now the difference is instead of

0:28:55.160 --> 0:29:00.760
<v Speaker 1>it being seventy thirty, now it's or something way more extreme.

0:29:00.800 --> 0:29:05.960
<v Speaker 1>That's the thing or whatever. You can't force people upwards,

0:29:06.280 --> 0:29:08.280
<v Speaker 1>but you can force them down. Verity to exist, we

0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:11.280
<v Speaker 1>might and it must be it must be dynamic. And

0:29:11.280 --> 0:29:12.760
<v Speaker 1>this sort of comes back to, like I wanted to

0:29:12.800 --> 0:29:16.080
<v Speaker 1>finish up the point of like um, equality of outcoming,

0:29:16.120 --> 0:29:21.240
<v Speaker 1>quality of opportunity and equalities like in general is bitcoin

0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:23.320
<v Speaker 1>gives us a quality of opportunity because those at the

0:29:23.320 --> 0:29:26.560
<v Speaker 1>bottom have the capacity to climb, Like everyone has the

0:29:26.560 --> 0:29:30.960
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to climb exactly, and everyone also has the opportunity

0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:33.480
<v Speaker 1>to fall, and it's even across the board, like you

0:29:33.520 --> 0:29:35.720
<v Speaker 1>can fall as much as you can climb. And then

0:29:35.760 --> 0:29:39.880
<v Speaker 1>that creates more competitive pressure in society. It creates more

0:29:39.880 --> 0:29:42.760
<v Speaker 1>competitive upward pressure, and it actually creates a corrective mechanism

0:29:42.840 --> 0:29:45.720
<v Speaker 1>on the way down because you don't have a safety net.

0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:48.040
<v Speaker 1>You're not going to be lied to, implacated that you know,

0:29:48.080 --> 0:29:50.040
<v Speaker 1>it's okay to have nothing in blah blah blah. Right,

0:29:50.480 --> 0:29:56.000
<v Speaker 1>So what we end up getting is we get dynamic inequality,

0:29:56.680 --> 0:29:59.600
<v Speaker 1>which is far more natural in society. You know, you

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:02.640
<v Speaker 1>get you get the growth, you get the correction, you

0:30:02.640 --> 0:30:05.760
<v Speaker 1>get the ups and downs. But it's um, it's able

0:30:05.800 --> 0:30:09.200
<v Speaker 1>to do it itself without what we have in today

0:30:09.240 --> 0:30:12.840
<v Speaker 1>in the field society is actually we have fixed inequality.

0:30:14.040 --> 0:30:16.520
<v Speaker 1>If you're poor, if you're at the bottom, you can't

0:30:16.560 --> 0:30:19.000
<v Speaker 1>climb no matter what you do. Like, the more you work,

0:30:19.320 --> 0:30:21.160
<v Speaker 1>the more you get inflated away, the more you get taxed,

0:30:21.200 --> 0:30:23.239
<v Speaker 1>the more you lose what you have. And if you're

0:30:23.280 --> 0:30:26.640
<v Speaker 1>at the top, simultaneously you can socialize all your losses,

0:30:26.720 --> 0:30:29.240
<v Speaker 1>you can privatize all your gains. And then us idiots

0:30:29.240 --> 0:30:31.960
<v Speaker 1>in the middle who are in the upper and middle,

0:30:32.960 --> 0:30:35.920
<v Speaker 1>lower middle and upper middle class. We pay for both,

0:30:36.880 --> 0:30:38.920
<v Speaker 1>and but we're all fixed. We're stuck there. So so

0:30:38.960 --> 0:30:41.040
<v Speaker 1>we actually live in a class system today, no different

0:30:41.080 --> 0:30:44.200
<v Speaker 1>than the feudal system. In fact, probably worse because it's

0:30:44.240 --> 0:30:48.640
<v Speaker 1>more insidious. Where bitcoin creates, we still have classes and bitcoin,

0:30:48.800 --> 0:30:51.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, we'll have poor, will have you, lower middle class,

0:30:51.120 --> 0:30:53.280
<v Speaker 1>up middle class, will have all of that. But the

0:30:53.800 --> 0:30:57.080
<v Speaker 1>membranes that separate the classes, they're permeable. People will be

0:30:57.080 --> 0:31:00.040
<v Speaker 1>able to move up and down them. And then, to

0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:03.720
<v Speaker 1>say fairness too, is that nobody can control it. So

0:31:03.760 --> 0:31:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the Fiat money system is unfair because the people that

0:31:06.520 --> 0:31:08.720
<v Speaker 1>can push the button have an unfair advantage. They give

0:31:08.720 --> 0:31:11.560
<v Speaker 1>it to their friends, which gives them a freak advantage. Um,

0:31:11.680 --> 0:31:13.560
<v Speaker 1>so the fact that you own the most of it

0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:15.680
<v Speaker 1>doesn't make it unfair. It's the fact that nobody can

0:31:15.720 --> 0:31:17.760
<v Speaker 1>control it or create more for themselves and their friends

0:31:17.800 --> 0:31:20.280
<v Speaker 1>that creates that fair systems. And so then we're stuck

0:31:20.320 --> 0:31:22.320
<v Speaker 1>back to the way the world should work, which is

0:31:23.120 --> 0:31:26.080
<v Speaker 1>people ask me, well, how are the poor people supposed

0:31:26.080 --> 0:31:28.320
<v Speaker 1>to get it? And they say, well, by providing value

0:31:28.920 --> 0:31:31.760
<v Speaker 1>to those that have it in exchange. Correct, Yeah, So,

0:31:31.920 --> 0:31:34.040
<v Speaker 1>so if you in the future and you just nailed

0:31:34.080 --> 0:31:36.520
<v Speaker 1>it in the future. If you're a person with no

0:31:36.640 --> 0:31:39.760
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin because you were too um like ginger On, the

0:31:39.800 --> 0:31:41.120
<v Speaker 1>people who are going to have no bitcoin in the

0:31:41.120 --> 0:31:42.840
<v Speaker 1>future are going to fall in a couple of categories.

0:31:43.000 --> 0:31:44.840
<v Speaker 1>They were too dumb, they were too ignorant, they were

0:31:44.880 --> 0:31:47.959
<v Speaker 1>too arrogant, or they genuinely didn't have any access to it,

0:31:48.360 --> 0:31:50.040
<v Speaker 1>or they weren't born. You know, so so they were

0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:52.120
<v Speaker 1>born and they're young, right, so so somewhere in those

0:31:52.160 --> 0:31:55.240
<v Speaker 1>five categories. Now you can stay dumb, ignorant, and arrogant

0:31:55.240 --> 0:31:57.240
<v Speaker 1>if you want um or if you're in the other

0:31:57.240 --> 0:31:59.080
<v Speaker 1>two categories where you weren't born, you were too young,

0:31:59.280 --> 0:32:01.360
<v Speaker 1>or you just ennuinely didn't hear about it or have

0:32:01.400 --> 0:32:04.959
<v Speaker 1>access to getting any then you go and work like

0:32:05.040 --> 0:32:07.120
<v Speaker 1>you have two options. You either go and work for

0:32:07.160 --> 0:32:09.240
<v Speaker 1>the ship money that you're being paid like you know,

0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:11.640
<v Speaker 1>the f F funny money, or you're gonna work for

0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:14.120
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin and you start accumulating bitcoin. You figure out a

0:32:14.160 --> 0:32:17.240
<v Speaker 1>business or service of products, something to provide, and you

0:32:17.280 --> 0:32:19.760
<v Speaker 1>accumulate bitcoin. But the beauty this time is that you

0:32:19.800 --> 0:32:21.760
<v Speaker 1>can actually keep your wealth and know that it's not

0:32:21.840 --> 0:32:25.600
<v Speaker 1>going to be leached by somebody and simultaneously everybody else

0:32:25.600 --> 0:32:28.400
<v Speaker 1>that's creating wealth in the world. Because bitcoin will measure

0:32:28.480 --> 0:32:31.800
<v Speaker 1>everything and there's a fixed amount. As we produce more

0:32:31.840 --> 0:32:35.080
<v Speaker 1>as a planet each the purchasing power of the bitcoin

0:32:35.120 --> 0:32:37.680
<v Speaker 1>actually grows. It's like holding an et f on human productivity.

0:32:37.960 --> 0:32:40.120
<v Speaker 1>So you will benefit in two ways. Your your own

0:32:40.120 --> 0:32:44.080
<v Speaker 1>bitcoin will appreciate in wealth, and you'll continue to compound

0:32:44.080 --> 0:32:46.480
<v Speaker 1>how much bitcoin you have, you know, and then that

0:32:46.520 --> 0:32:48.920
<v Speaker 1>sort of eliminates all this stuff, like you know how

0:32:48.920 --> 0:32:52.680
<v Speaker 1>the fiat model works, like holding getting interest from a

0:32:52.680 --> 0:32:55.200
<v Speaker 1>bank that won't exist anymore because the interest will be

0:32:55.240 --> 0:32:57.320
<v Speaker 1>the increase in you're purchasing power of the bitcoin. So

0:32:57.320 --> 0:32:59.720
<v Speaker 1>you want to just story bitcoin you don't needs interesting,

0:32:59.840 --> 0:33:03.160
<v Speaker 1>So so it actually changes so many things that we

0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:06.960
<v Speaker 1>think are normal today that it's just going to not exist. Yeah,

0:33:06.960 --> 0:33:09.160
<v Speaker 1>So if a purchasing power of my bitcoin increases, I

0:33:09.160 --> 0:33:11.640
<v Speaker 1>don't need to go get interest. Interest is increasing my

0:33:11.680 --> 0:33:15.200
<v Speaker 1>purchasing power. That's the hope, the hope. Yeah, well, interesting,

0:33:15.440 --> 0:33:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Well that's good stuff. Hopefully that helps it helps to

0:33:20.160 --> 0:33:24.440
<v Speaker 1>learn how to think through things. Um, the human body

0:33:24.480 --> 0:33:26.959
<v Speaker 1>is a complex system, just like the world and the economy.

0:33:27.040 --> 0:33:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Of a complex system. So you can't treat symptoms, you

0:33:29.080 --> 0:33:32.360
<v Speaker 1>have to treat the system. Um, so some good stuff.

0:33:32.720 --> 0:33:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Alex is a deep thinker. If you haven't noticed, he

0:33:35.520 --> 0:33:38.240
<v Speaker 1>writes some really good papers. Has one out recently. We'll

0:33:38.240 --> 0:33:39.600
<v Speaker 1>make sure to link to it in the show notes

0:33:39.640 --> 0:33:43.720
<v Speaker 1>down below. Um, anything else you want to say, dude? Um? Yeah,

0:33:43.760 --> 0:33:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean if people want to find my new Twitter account,

0:33:46.240 --> 0:33:49.440
<v Speaker 1>ghost of Yeah, the ghost of Fetsky. He got he

0:33:49.480 --> 0:33:51.880
<v Speaker 1>got censored on a Twitter for speaking truth. We have

0:33:51.960 --> 0:33:53.200
<v Speaker 1>to make sure we'll link to that on the show

0:33:53.240 --> 0:33:55.480
<v Speaker 1>notes as well. That we're gonna to wrap it up.

0:33:55.480 --> 0:33:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully that is giving you a little bit of insight. Um,

0:33:58.440 --> 0:34:02.600
<v Speaker 1>always look deeper, stop looking too symptoms, look for the cures,

0:34:02.680 --> 0:34:05.520
<v Speaker 1>and then fight to cure those things and trust they

0:34:05.520 --> 0:34:08.520
<v Speaker 1>consistent and try that's very consistent. That's very difficult. Um,

0:34:08.880 --> 0:34:10.040
<v Speaker 1>let's say all right, thanks to
