WEBVTT - Mark and John Bush on Bitcoin, Tyranny, and Everything Else in Between 0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:01.480 All right, welcome back. If you're just tuning in, you're 0:00:01.480 --> 0:00:03.840 listening to the Mark Mos Show. We're talking about, of course, 0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:06.480 each and every week, the decentralized revolution, how the world 0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:09.040 is changing right before our very eyes. And of course 0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:11.680 we talked about it through the lens of politics, finance, 0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:15.560 and technology, how those merge, and of course that technology 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:18.720 is Bitcoin is the decentralized technology that's changing the world. 0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:20.600 And you know, I try to bring to you some 0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:22.960 you know, new stories to kind of change the way 0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.439 you see things, and some some of the latest breaking 0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:27.640 news of the week, and some interesting guests. And I 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:31.319 have somebody um in the studio with me today, and 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:35.520 that is somebody who has been living this decentralized life 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.040 for a long period of time, longer than me, and 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.680 actively building out the parallel economy, something I've been talking 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:45.240 about over and over and over, and that is John Bush. 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:49.720 He's the founder of the Live Free Academy, co producer 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.920 of an event called the Greater Reset, which I'll actually 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:57.160 be speaking at UM in Austin next weekend. And he's 0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:59.240 also the co founder of the Freedom Selling Network, with 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:04.120 has over thirty five thousand freedom lovers working together and 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:08.120 opting out of the system and building this parallel economy. 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.840 Of course, Um last week I did a whole segment 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:15.480 on the parallel economy, what it is, how important it is, 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.200 how we do it, how we use it, how how 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:20.560 we build it, etcetera. If you miss that, go back 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.920 and listen to the episodes. You get the whole reference 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:24.520 on what that is. We'll be talking about it more 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:26.840 now and of course you can find that on my 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:29.840 YouTube channel, Market Disruptors, or on on the podcast just 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.800 search Market Moss podcast. But anyway, John, thanks so much 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:36.160 for joining me today. Yeah, thanks for having me. Yeah. Man, 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.800 So you know what cool work you're doing. You know, 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:43.200 I talked about um quite often, how you know, the 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.400 world scary and it's uncertain, and a lot of people 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:49.240 are feeling demoralized. I think that's intentionally done so people 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.200 don't want to act, and so people are like, well 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:53.760 what why even bother? What can I do? And and 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.800 I'm constantly just you know, virtually wanting to like slap 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:58.680 people across the face and be like, come on, man, 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.760 you're not a victim, Like build the world you want. 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.440 That's kind of what I say all the time, and 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.400 that that's basically what you're doing right, I mean, you're 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:09.840 you're helping organized people to go do something right, go 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:11.520 build the world they want. I mean, is that kind 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.160 of how you see it or what you're doing. Yeah, 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:15.920 for the most part, that sums it up pretty well. 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.320 I've been doing activism for twenty years now, and the 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:24.040 first chunk of that was focused on protesting and waking 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.480 people up about the conspiracy taking place. And then I 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:31.360 got involved pretty heavily in politics. And while we had 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.639 what could be considered victories, we stopped police officers from 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:36.519 being trained to do blood withdrawals on the side of 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:40.040 the road in Austin. We helped institute privacy policies for 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.400 these Department of Homeland Security fusion centers, which like merged 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.639 the FBI with the local police. But in reality, we 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:50.000 were simply slowing the growth of tyranny. We weren't creating 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.880 more freedom. That's when I shift my focus to what 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.720 we like to call to call exit and build strategy. 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:59.840 That's where you identify systems institutions that aren't in align 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.880 it with your values of freedom, decentralization, bodily autonomy. Right, 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:07.320 we identify those systems, we exit those systems, and we 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.679 build the alternatives. When I say exit, I mean completely 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:12.840 opt out. So eventually, one day we're all going to 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.840 declare independence together wholeheartedly. But for some people, we need 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:20.080 to build those systems first so as to clear the 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:23.680 way for the peaceful opt out without losing all our 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.480 property or ending up in jail. So that's basically my 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:29.240 life submission is to create an environment where free people 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:33.440 can enjoy political autonomy and self governance. MS has a 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.480 big goal. I want to I want to dig into 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:37.600 that as so many questions, but like, let's set the 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:41.200 backs the back story up a little bit here. So, Um, 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.680 you're from Texas. I believe you currently live on a 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.480 on a farm, so you're probably kind of self sustained. 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.280 You got your family. At one point you were, Um, 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.120 I think you've been living completely off the financial system 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:55.440 on bitcoin. I think at one point you were kind 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:58.600 of traveling around the country in an r V. You live, 0:03:58.640 --> 0:03:59.960 like I said, live off the land. Kind of think, 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:01.400 kind of give us a little bit of a backstory 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.080 and then let's dig dig back into that exit and 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:07.560 build strategy. Sure, sure, so I kind of I got 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:12.240 involved with this whole world after watching a documentary by 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.320 Alex Jones in Austin on cable Access. It's called nine 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.240 eleven Road to Tyranny. And so I was a big 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:20.000 Alex Jones fan back in the day, but he kind 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:23.520 of went a little far right and kind of reactive 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.159 for my tastes. But anyway, that was a big eye opener, 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.599 and I was like, Wow, what they're telling us about 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:30.880 this whole nine eleven event that's had such an impact 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:33.839 on so many people, a lot of his total bs 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.560 and so that kind of led me down the rabbit 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:40.760 hole of researching counsel and form relations, trylateral commission, all 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:44.000 this stuff. Um. I got involved in the American Civil 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.880 Liberties Union on campus to push back on uh, you know, 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.960 dissent them them like trying to limit our free speech 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:53.160 on campus, pushing back against the war and stuff. And 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.320 I learned about Ron Paul in two thousand seven, two 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.360 thousand eight for his presidential campaign. Actually got to interview 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.120 him recently for this homeschool summit that we did. That 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:04.880 was quite the privilege and honor. But I learned about libertarianism, 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.000 and of course Ron Paul didn't win the presidential campaign 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.040 in two thousand and eight, the world would probably be 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:13.520 a different place had he. But we managed to find 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:18.080 around nine hundred to a thousand people in Austin that 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:22.119 we're all libertarians. Some of them were constitutional conservative types, 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:26.200 but some of our radical libertarians later turned into voluntaryists. Right, 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.279 those are folks that believe all human relationships should be voluntary. 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.440 I said, what a concept. What's that? I said, what 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:39.240 a concept? We own our bodies and deserve self respect. 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.440 But anyway, we got we got really involved in local politics. 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.560 We started a political action committee called Texans for Accountable Government, 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.479 which is still around to this day. Uh. And it 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.520 was very passionate about it, and we'd show up to 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:55.960 city council. We'd actually have legislation authored by friendly council members, 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.719 friendly legislatures in the Texas ledge. But like I said, 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.279 you know, I started to learn about libertarianism, and that 0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.839 I learned about this guy, Murray Rothbard, who talks about 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:09.200 anarcho capitalism, and then from him I learned about Samuel 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:13.400 Edward Conkin. In this philosophy more of a strategy of agorism, 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:17.600 revolutionary market anarchism. This is some of the philosophical underpinions 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:21.400 of parallel economies. He called it the counter economy, right, 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:26.520 And so simultaneously I'm learning about true freedom, about how 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.799 we ought to coexist with our fellow human beings, about 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.760 how systems need to be decentralized in order for them 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:36.360 to be more just. Uh. And I was still banging 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.440 my head against the wall, shouting at government buildings, having 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.920 these minor victories that weren't really even a step forward. 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.880 We're just slowing the steps back that we were taking 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:49.760 towards tyranny. So I started to experiment with the creation 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:53.840 of what I used to call parallel institutions, alternative institutions, 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.480 parallel economies, counter economy, whatever you wanna call it. We 0:06:56.520 --> 0:07:00.240 would encourage people to trade with silver dimes. So we'd 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.440 go to farmers markets and talk to all the vendors 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.200 and say, hey, would you guys consider accepting silver times? 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.560 Did you know silver and still has that sound money there? 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.240 Most people just thought we were kind of ridiculous, But 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:13.040 every once in a while you come across an old 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.200 farmer and they're like, oh, yeah, anything we can do 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:17.160 to stick it to the Federal and Reserve. So I 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:19.680 thought that was pretty cool. But that was before I 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.360 learned about bitcoin. I learned about bitcoin twelve or so. Actually, 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.160 somebody told me I should mind bitcoin using my laptop. 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.320 That's when you could pop out fifty bitcoin every approximately 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:34.400 ten minutes, and I'll never forget I. I responded, said, 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:36.760 you know, I'm really busy right now. Maybe I has 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.200 had some time aside to learn about it. That was 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.520 a valuable lesson that everybody should at least reserve some 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.120 brain power to take advantage of an opportunity if it 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:48.080 gets put in front of you. But when we learned 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.840 more about bitcoin, it really became clear, like this is 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:54.000 a technology that's very liberating. Of course, back then we 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:57.480 thought that it would end the FED, but really these 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:00.640 central bankers are pretty dastardly, and that now they're leveraging 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.720 some blockchain technology for some of their central bank digital 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:08.400 currency schemes. But nonetheless, this really just started a pursuit 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:12.560 of creating freedom now, not waiting for politicians to do 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.680 the right thing, not waiting for plus one of the 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.600 voting public to come around to the ideas of freedom, 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.200 but asking ourselves, what can we do right now in 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.239 this moment to create more freedom for ourselves, our children, 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.880 and the future generations to come. And it was around 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:28.480 this time Also, I had this idea for the Freedom 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:31.920 Cell Network. I realized that, you know, the lone wolf, 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:35.200 the guy that's all alone, standing up, opting out, saying 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:38.199 no is is very vulnerable. Well, what if we could 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.800 bring together thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:45.640 like minded people that all work together to support one another, 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:49.720 to provide for our common ones and needs through mutually beneficial, 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:54.920 voluntary association, not coercion, not highly centralized big corporations that 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:57.679 are mostly corrupt. And that was the birth of this idea, 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:01.040 the Freedom Selling Network. My good friend Derek Rows took 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.240 the idea and ran with it, started groups in Houston. 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.559 Let's let's let's let's let's take a break. Right there 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.120 so much good information I want to dig into. We've 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.040 gotta take a short break, but I do want to 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.319 find out. I have so many questions I've been kind 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.200 of writing down, and you've been talking about, um, the 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:16.840 opting out and what happens that with that, and and 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:18.760 and pushing back and kind of what you experienced, so 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:20.920 much to dig into you. We're gonna really unpack this. 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:22.680 So if you're just tune in, you're listening to the 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.200 Mark Moss Show. I'm in studio with John Bush talking 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.120 about how to create a free society. We're back with 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:28.720 more in a minute. You don't want to miss it, 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.120 don't go away. I'll be right back. All right, Welcome back. 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:32.680 If you're just tuning in, you're listening to the Mark 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:35.000 Mos Show. We're talking about, of course, each and every week, 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:38.680 the decentralized revolution. How the world is changing, and it 0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.920 changes for many reasons, and one of those is if 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.600 we intentionally want to change it. And that's what we're 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.200 talking about today. I'm in studio with John Bush, founder 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.040 of the Live Free Academy, co producer of the Greater 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:54.120 Reset event that's happening in Austin, Texas UM at the 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.319 end of this month. I'll be out there speaking. You 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:58.280 can check it out check out their website. And he's 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.600 also the co founder of the Freedom Cell Network freedom 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.520 Lovers working together. If you're trying to find a tribe 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:07.560 community people that understand what you're looking at, check that out. 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.120 But anyway, John, you were kind of giving us this 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:13.880 whole backstory, which was was amazing. UM, you know, I 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.000 was gonna listen to your story and how you kind 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.400 of went down this path of being very fired up, 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.520 gung ho about politics, right, super involved, super passionate, and 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:23.600 then you kind of realize that, I like your analogy, 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:27.160 we're just slowing things. We're not we're not actually changing things. Um. 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:29.559 And so you kind of have this like excited build strategy, 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:32.080 which which you're you're modeling in your own life. And 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:34.079 I'm sure you're working with with these these freedoms on 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:39.840 network people. But you know, I think about that, um, Like, 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.920 you can opt out. Iron Ran would say that you 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:44.920 can choose to ignore reality, but you can't ignore the 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:50.760 consequences of reality. And so like, um, I'm opting out, um, 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:54.959 But does that really change anything? Because now I'm ignoring it, 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.319 but I'm not, you know, I can't ignore the consequences, 0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:00.679 Like the world is still gonna change, right. Yeah. And 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:02.600 that's a great point that you bring up, and it's 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:06.880 something that we ought to address strategically. So this excitent 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.960 build thing, part of it is encouraging people to exit 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:14.120 the cities, to buy land and build community in the country, 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:17.520 to become more self reliant, more independent of those centralized 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.360 systems and oftentime. In fact, we do this Exit and 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:23.760 Build Land Summit every May where we do just that, 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:27.520 We encourage people, We teach people practically what they need 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:29.240 to do in order to get out of there, because 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:31.480 that's where this whole smart city agenda is going to 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:33.760 roll out, That's where the great reset is going to 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:37.360 be most impactful on people's lives is in the big cities. 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.400 Uh So, a lot of people push back and they 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.800 respond like, well, you guys are that's escapism, that's defeatism, 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.560 it's retreatism. I think, honestly, nothing could be further from 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:49.160 the truth what we're trying to do. And one of 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:52.680 the big challenges that we have as free people is 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:57.840 proving to people that there's another way to live, showing 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:01.920 people demonstrating that there's another way to organize society that 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:06.680 isn't dependent on government and is void of coercion forcing 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:08.880 people to do things that they may not want to do. 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:13.560 So what we're trying to do is prove out a 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:18.560 decentralized model of existence and then you know, be nice 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.040 and friendly to the masses and say, hey, everybody, you 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:22.760 should check it out. There's a different way to live, 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.240 and it doesn't have to be this wholehearted thing. There's 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.000 different ways to show this. For example, you can exit 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:32.000 the government schools and build homeschool coops. You can exit 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:35.240 reliance or dependence on the banks and credit cards and 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:39.400 build out decentralized financial networks using bitcoin. Right, you can 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:45.000 exit your dependence on the pharmaceutical industrial complex. Eat better, exercise, 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:49.400 have a stress less stress life, and visit natural health practitioners. 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:51.760 So it's all of these different things that I believe 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:54.600 are going to lead to a higher quality of life. 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:58.080 And somebody's got can exit and you can exit mainstream media, 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:00.640 start your own media outlets. And I was like, like, 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:04.960 we're on right now, yep. And and so yeah, we're 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.400 not just necessarily ignoring politics or thinking it's going to escape. 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.800 But it's my belief if enough of us hop on 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:14.319 board with this accident build strategy, if enough of us 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:19.040 help and start utilizing the parallel economies, then maybe someday 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.360 they'll be the masses will see us over here happy, 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:25.040 you know, playing with our kids in the best health, 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:29.160 experiencing true wealth and abundance, and they'll want a piece 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.040 of the action and they'll come join us. Yeah, And 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.600 that's that's the exact approach. I mean, obviously I agree 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:36.439 with you wholeheartedly. And like I said, I dedicated a 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.640 whole hour to talking about this last week, and I'm 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.240 running an event here in a couple of weeks called 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:45.040 the um basically teaching people how to actually build in 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.600 this new parallel economy. I think there's a massive opportunity 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.000 there for people because we we need this all to 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:52.960 get built out and people want this, and that's a 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.600 market disruptors of virtual you can check that out markets 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:59.079 up to virtual dot com. But um, you know, I 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:00.599 think I think it's a huge attinuity. So I so 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.120 I agree with you there. I was just curious kind 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:06.880 of what your what your take was on that. Now, Um, 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.679 the Land Summit, that's pretty cool. Um, I like that. 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:11.240 And then the Greater Reset. You're doing a lot of 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.360 things here. Let's talk about this Greater Reset event for 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:18.280 a minute, So, um, what's going on with that? And 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:19.880 like kind of what's the intention just to kind of 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:21.560 wake people up kind of what you're doing with your 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:26.200 original activision activism type stuff. Sure. So, my good friend 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:30.160 and cohort Derek Burrows, we work together, we work together 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:32.640 at the Freedom Cell stuff. When we first started learning 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:36.680 a whole lot about this Great Reset agenda, we recognize 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:38.400 there's a lot of people that are kind of freaking out, 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:42.080 writing articles about it, watching documentaries about it, and for 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:43.760 those not familiar, I'm sure most of your audience is 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.200 a where the great recesses effort by the World Economic 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:50.520 Forum to centralize, to merge biology and technology, basically to 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:54.000 reshape life as we know it. It's really all about 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:58.080 capital and capitalism, stakeholder capitalism. It's just all control. I 0:14:58.120 --> 0:14:59.720 could like to call it the new World Order two 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.360 point know, and the technology does exist for this to 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.840 you know, be pretty pretty bad for future generations if 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.000 we allow it to fully come to fruition. But nonetheless, 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.400 we said, what if we put together this event and 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.760 instead of just complaining and whining about it, we helped 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:17.680 to empower people. So the whole goal is to bring 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:22.840 together visionaries, activists, entrepreneurs, people that are doing cool stuff 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:27.040 in the world, solutions oriented people like yourself, and to 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:30.920 have them share their tips, tactics, and strategies with the audience, 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.360 so the audience leaves with the information they need to 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:38.600 pursue greater freedom in their lives. So we're not satisfied 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:41.640 with the status quo of how society has operated. We 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:45.160 most definitely don't want things to be further centralized and 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:49.480 further corrupted. So we're trying to offer an alternative to 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:53.280 the Great Reset that we're calling the Greater Reset. Anybody 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.440 can watch the free online as well. They'll be able 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.800 to watch for free January eighth through they and people 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.760 can sign up there and the Greater Reset dot Org 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.120 the Greater Reset dot Org or better yet, you can 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:07.040 join us in person in Central Texas to see Mark 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:10.880 there in person along with Alexeck, Jack Spirco and several 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.480 other really cool peeps. Zoobie and JPN Seers will be 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:15.640 at the concert on Saturday night, so we're really excited 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:18.440 about that as well. Yeah, two good buddies of mine, 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:22.360 both JP and uh and and Zoobie. I'm looking forward 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:24.720 to getting together with them when I'm there. The Greater 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:28.560 Reset dot Org is is the domain there. Um. I 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:30.920 want to get more back into this kind of parallel economy. 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:32.440 Like I said, this is the part that I'm focused on. 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:35.000 I think it's where we have the most change. You know, 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:36.960 to the point that you kind of discovered as you 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:40.920 were talking about, like um through through politics were just 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.800 you know, slowing down the inevitable Um, I constantly kind 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.480 of reference back to Socrates who said, focus all your 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:50.040 energy not on fighting the old, but I'm building the 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:54.720 new right, and so like, um, you know, being in California, 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:57.000 I mean, the school systems here are just a disaster. 0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:59.040 Like you do not want your kids in the school 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:02.440 system at all. And um, you know, my wife originally 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:04.720 wanted to get involved and start going to the school 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:07.400 board meetings and she's getting other parents and they're doing 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.880 all these things, and it's just like, what a waste 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:13.439 of time, effort, and energy where we could take a 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:15.520 fraction at that time. And to your point, you already 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.840 kind of said, like why not start a home school pod? Right? 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.280 And then and then and then what an opportunity. I mean, 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:23.520 you've got teachers, some of our friends that our teachers 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:25.399 are just disgusted with what they have to teach the 0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:28.840 kids these days, and they're making whatever fifty sixty a year. 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.760 You can grab ten students and make more money just 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:34.000 doing a home school pod than you could being a teacher, 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.600 you know. And and so there's an opportunity to make money, 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:38.800 and you have an opportunity to change the world at 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:41.400 the same time. I want to talk more about that, 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:43.440 and we'll we'll talk maybe some of these different things 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:45.800 that you um see some opportunity to see within there. 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:47.760 If you're just tuning in, you're listening to the Mark 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:51.119 Moa Show of course, we talked about the decentralized Revolution, 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:53.760 how the world is swinging from a centralized world to 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:57.280 a decentralized world. Nietzsche said that which is falling, shall 0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:00.399 ye also push? And we're pushing on that at im 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:03.159 in studio with John and we are talking about that. 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:06.159 We'll be back with more in a minute, um, talking 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:08.399 about the parallel economy, what it is, how you can 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.240 profit from it, how you can change the world. It's 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:13.679 gonna be exciting. Don't go away. We right back, all right, 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:15.359 welcome back. If you're just tune in, you're listening to 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:17.600 the Mark mos Show of course, each every week talking 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.160 about the de centralized Revolution. I'm in the studio now 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:22.800 with John Bush, the founder of the Live Free Academy, 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:26.919 producer of the Greater Reset event happening in Austin January 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:31.000 twenty second. I'll be there speaking the Greater Reset dot org. 0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:33.560 You can check it out. Um, John, let's let's tag 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:36.840 more into this parallel economy. It's just so exciting. So, um, 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:38.919 politics is a waste of time and effort and energy. 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:42.399 You're only slowing it down. Um, you have the exit 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:46.720 and build strategy, So like, let's exit these legacy institutions 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:50.960 of education, finance, health, politics, etcetera, and then go build 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:55.200 alternatives to those. So just like we can exit watching 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:58.120 CNN and we can start our own podcast or YouTube channel, 0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:00.600 all right, can exit public education and create a homeschool 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:04.120 pod and we can talk about that. But Um, while 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:07.399 that helps the people that participate in it, and while 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:12.159 it also helps maybe um cushion the blow for the 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:17.200 inevitable collapse that that's probably coming. Um, does how how 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:21.080 do you see it actually changing the system doing good? 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:24.439 As opposed to you? You call it escapism whatever, So like, 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:27.520 how does it actually change create change that way? Well, 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:31.760 you know, my views have evolved in my strategy is 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:34.880 ever changing. Although I'm pretty sure this excellent build thing 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:38.320 is the way, right like the Mandalorian this this is 0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:40.760 the way? Um? But but is that is that? Is 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:43.840 that through just getting so many people to escape the 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:46.159 one system and then into a new system. So like 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:47.919 if if I'm here at my studio and I got 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:49.200 a bunch of people here and I'm like, hey, you're 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:50.800 too loud, you go outside, and hey, I don't like 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:53.040 you go outside. And eventually I kicked so many people 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:55.600 outside that I have no control over them because now 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:57.840 they have their own event going. And as it wasn't 0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:02.920 more like that. Well, basically, I'm not interested in saving everybody, 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:07.080 and uh, I have. I'm a compassionate person, but most 0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:10.520 of the public in this world, especially in the United 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:15.440 States of America, they don't want the freedom that I'm seeking. 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:19.080 So our hope is to find enough people, and I 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:20.760 believe enough of us are already out there. If we 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:24.520 just simply shifted our focus away from the reactionary nature 0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:28.440
