Svetski Wake Up Podcast (Aleks Svetski)

On Episode 19 of the Wake Up Podcast, I've got Jimmy Song & Jordan Bush joining me.

I was initially intending to save this episode for next year, but the response to "Bitcoin Atheists" was so strong, that I had to record sooner.

Similar to the last episode, we dug deep.

Definitions for:

- God

- Religion

- Prophets

- Spirituality

- A higher power

- Consciousness

- A void that binds / the ultimate being

- Love & Connectedness

But we also explored key concepts & questions such as:

Sacrifice and spiral dynamics.

The hero & Sacrifice as a virtue

Can you be religious and not believe in god?

Can you believe in god, but not be religious?

Morality

- That which is compatible with life.

- Evolutionary or divine?

Could religion just be a story to help us cope with the reality of the difficulty of life?

What else does it offer?

Supernatural & the Metaphysical.

- Bitcoin

- Christianity

And much much more.

Ep 32 of Wake Up was an impromptu get together between myself, Zuby & Stephen Cole, which we put together at the random request of a listener of the Pod (I think it was Kiwi Hodl - shout out man!).

You're gonna be like a kid in a fucking ice cream shop on this one.

Chocolate meets Caramel meets Vanilla.

Zuby, as many of you will know, is a Rapper, Author & Creative Entrepreneur who became twitter famous as he smashed the women's deadlift world record as a warm up, whilst he identified as a woman..hahahaha

Stephen Cole is a friend of mine, early eBay tech genius, Bitcoiner, Angel Investor & all round one of the most genuine people I know.

This conversation wasn't planned, scripted or themed, but it was such a great talk, and we went into so many topics, across so many disciplines.

Philosophy, Ethics, Morality, History, Psychology, Responsibility, Economics, Integrity, Courage, Truth, Religion, and loads more.

We spoke about:

- The problem with setting dangerous precedents

- The world as a large scale Asch Experiment.

- How Nazi prison guards & Capo's were conditioned.

How: 

- This is the first generation in history that’s sacrificing the young for the old.

- Tyranny is the deliberate removal of nuance.

- Disobedience is a virtue in the face of tyranny.

- Things only 'seem' better because Economic & technological progress has occurred

"The Renunciation of Responsibility leads to the Oppression Olympics"

Principles VS Methods

Fiat VS Natural Law & Morality.

Silver, not Golden rule

Conscious VS Unconscious 

We cap it off with a discussion about each of our early stories & inspirations.

Loads in here to digest.

Enjoy, share & learn!

John Carvalho, Bitcoin OG and founder of Synonym joins me to cover Bitcoin is a "Game".

- A definition of Bitcoin, not a metaphor.

- Bitcoin is not money, not energy, not a battery.

- Which Metaphors are useful?

- Religion & evolution.

- Consuming Reality

- Awareness / Consciousness

- Becoming an UberMensch

And we dug into the company he's founded, which I think is one of the most important in Bitcoin:

Synonym

New primitives for the web.

Web of Trust

Building the protocol, applications, or both?

And much more.

Ep 40 of Wake Up is with a unique guest. Doris Duriye Osman is someone I came across recently who is standing up for something all of us should also stand up for:

Our natural, individual right as human beings to own our body and private property,

She’s an advocate for Human Rights, a Naturopath and runs the Reignite Democracy Australia page on FB, working to wake people up.

On this episode, we discuss:

- Morals & Values

- Dee’s journey as a human

- Why she chose to take a stand

- Her inspirations along the way

We also walk through:

- Private VS Public

- Why everything needs to be private

- Monopoly on Money & Theft as the locus of control

- Bitcoin breaks this.

And what many people know her for, ie;

- Using the system against itself with respect to mask mandates, etc

- How do we get this to more people?

- How do we inspire more courage

Lastly, as I try to do with all good people, we talk Bitcoin:

- Breaking the monopoly on Money

- Transforming into a Bitcoiner.

- The 1% of your effort that makes 99% of the difference

Bitcoin history continues, with a slightly later piece than the prior. Only 3 years of difference, but certainly the next Era of Bitcoin. You can see the fidelity of the thinking increase and the level of glorious 'toxic' defence emerge.

Beautyon is a true champion of Bitcoin and he gets it more than most ever have or ever will.

Once again, reading it today is humbling, e specially when you realise it's more than 8 years old.

The patience and foresight is staggering.

Robert Malka, researcher, philosopher and Bitcoiner joins me for a monster episode to discuss Artificial Intelligence, Philosophy, Morality, Bitcoin, Nietzsche and so much more.

We start with a bit of background and what has to be the most incredible origin stories I've ever heard.

- His experience having been born to deaf parents
- Some incredible stories growing up as child sign language interpreter
- Inspirations such as Nietzsche & Heidegger
- Ayahuasca and psychedelics
- When they're fiat and when they're actually useful.
- The productisation of psychedelics as panaceas to ailments and all the world's problems.
- Nature VS Nurture

We then dug into Philosophy & Morality
- Rousseau and Nietzsche
- Humanity is a a multi-generational process.
- A genius is a full answer to this process.
- How do you define morality?
- Living in accordance with evolution and life.
- Morality is the increase of carrying capacity of life.
- Aesthetics & Beauty, and their relationship to morality.
- Humour as a very interesting measure for humanity

The AI discussion:

The stakes of AI: Game-theoretically, if an AI is more powerful than we are, we'd have two choices:
1. a Libertarian AI or,
2. an Authoritarian AI,

- Which would win?
- What happens when AI becomes widely modifiable and accessible?
- Preferences and more importantly, which preferences?
- If subjective ones, are they rooted in morality or utilitarianism?
- The circular logic of using quantities to measure qualities
- What it means for an AI to be human-centered

Problem with The Standard Model:
Machines, similar to humans, are intelligent to the extent that their actions can be expected to achieve their objectives.

Instead:
"Machines are beneficial to the extent that their actions can be expected to achieve our objectives”

But more ethical and moral problems with this, and it's focus purely on utility as the outcome.

How does AI emerge?
Will we be programming it?
Or will it emerge and mimic us.

How does Bitcoin fix this?
The question will be one of whether or not we've baked morality into our DNA.
Homo Bitcoinicus.

There so much more in this episode.
You need to listen.

Finally, some books recommended by Robert include:

- The Drama of the gifted child: Alice Miller
- Emile: Rousseau
- Human Compatible: Stuart Russell
- Twilight of the Idols: Nietzsche
- Warspeak: Lise Van Boxel
- What is Life: Erwin Schrödinger

There’s a strong trend of anti-elitism growing in the world, and whilst I understand where it comes from, because it’s been poorly defined, it’s totally misguided.

In fact, by not defining the damn thing properly, we group truly honourable & inspirational people up with the parasites.

This lack of properly defining things is the source of many problems - but I’ll get to that in another video.

I wrote an article about this which you can read about here:

https://medium.com/the-capital/in-support-of-the-elite-3c2046381980, 

and as usual, I want to wake people up & delineate between true elites, and the parasites we wrongfully label as such.

In the process of doing so, I hope for two things:

1. You don’t get caught in the trap of resenting those with more than you, because that is destructive and helps neither you nor society.
   
2. You choose to become elite yourself. You embrace what’s unique about you. You choose to become the best version of yourself and impact the world in a way that only you can.
   

This is what it takes to push the human race forward.

The ability to be OUT-FUCKING-STANDING.

• You want to be an outsider.
• You want to be a minority.
• You want to be different.

As Arnold said “nobody has ever done this before” is the motivator.

Those who want to earn & grow themselves into the 1% are to be praised & admired.
What could be more inspiring than an individual who creates something from nothing.

Who takes their labour, their time, their effort and their energy to build something.
This is profound. This is life. This is how the individual drives the human race forward.

For episode 53, I’m joined by two Remnants:

Bitcoin Mechanic, aka Lex, from Start 9 Labs.

Madex from Madex, Bull Bitcoin, one of the best Bitcoin artists on the planet.

Both Canadians, both disgusted with what their homeland has become.

We discuss:

- Canada going full Australia, which is much worse than going full retard.

- Canada should’ve signed the “Declaration of Dependence” when they first formed

- Australia is now Auschtralia. The land of the camps. 

- The difference between cultures and People in places like Canada VS Mexico

- Escaping the cucks

- Alberta Seperatism

- Did things fall apart because of some grand plan, or just a complex system untethered to reality?

- Who are the "they"

- Remnant VS The Masses VS The Parasites

- "Bitcoin saved my life"

- Dilution of the truth transforms it into a lie

- Compliance by the sheeple

- Normalising apologism

- Society has become a reality show reminiscent of a fantasy. Like some weird blend of Game of thrones or hunger games 

- Trusting science is an Oxymoron

- Science has become an 'opinion' instead of a study

Institutional decay:

As much as the fourth turning is a poorly concluded book, we are truly at the point of accelerated institutional decay.

- Health institutions are doing everything they can to deny the immune system. 

- Public Education literally makes people stupid.

- Media & the news is no longer about seeking truth but spewing lies and propaganda 

- Banks, the literally institutions that are supposed to help u manage your money don’t even let u send your money!!

It’s absolute insanity across every dimension.

This and SO much more with these two guys. They’re both incredible, intelligent, warriors of integrity.

True Remnants.

The Origins of the Austrian School of Economics

"There are two types of enlightenment. Grass roots, like the Austrian or Scottish kind, or Top down like the Jacobin or Fabian kind."

Rahim Taghizadegan is most well known as an Author, Bitcoiner & Educator/University Lecturer and the “Last Austrian Economist in the direct Austrian Tradition”.

He wrote a piece for the latest Bitcoin Times, Austrian Edition.

You can read and boost that here:

https://bitcointimes.com.au/from-bitcoin-to-the-austrian-school/ 

This man is an absolute WEALTH of knowledge and I we had an incredible discussion about the origins of Austrian Economics, money, banking and merchant networks - all which are precedents to Bitcoin.

If you’re a history buff and love to learn about the origin of things, THIS is an episode you will absolutely love.

We cover:

A history of Austrian Economics:

• Menger & his lineage. Menger as a bright “node” in emergent Austrian thinking
• A little about the Crown prince
• Who was the Nobel Laureate (Hayek?)
• Menger’s students

“Two lesser-known nodes in the network of the Austrian School would go on to have a much more profound impact on the world than the academic heirs of that tradition.”

Felix Somary who became one of the founders of Swiss private banking.

Richard Schüller, one of the best-connected diplomats of his time, who played an equally underestimated role in the return to peace after the World Wars and the independence of small post-war Austria. 

The difference between the Prussians of that era and their focus on Politics, VS the Austrian focus on culture and enterprise.

“In the Austrian empire, a limited group of merchants had been granted total economic freedom and tax exemptions to make up for the relative backwardness of the empire. Successful entrepreneurs gathered in Vienna, and their quickly rising wealth brought leisure without political clout, influencing, among others, people like Menger and Hayek.“

“In a way, they resembled the Scottish Tobacco merchants whose leisure and similar distance from the state had fostered the Scottish Enlightenment. And there had indeed been old intellectual connections through Scottish and Irish monks and the scholastic tradition.”

• How did Switzerland emerge in the first place?
• Switzerland and Alpine Regions as microcosms and remnants of the glory of Europe.
• Emergent VS Top Down enlightenment.
• Who were the Fabians & the Jacobins?
• What is their view & model of the world?
• Why has that remained so appealing?
• Does Bitcoin change that?

This was an incredible conversation and one that I hope you will learn alot from.

Rahim made a book recommendation:

“The Raven of Zurich”

Go pick that up.

In this video we see the dangers of group identity & the cancer that is collectivism.

A group of people decide it’s perfectly ok to behave like Nazi’s, because they identify as a self-proclaimed righteous group of protestors (ie; BLM), and have placards that read “fuck off Nazi’s”.

The greatest feat of the Nazi’s, Communists and any other collectivist & authoritarian group is to make YOU think you’re the villain, and to use double-speak like this to give themselves immunity from their actions.

These morons wouldn’t even know what Nazi stands for, nor that fascist stems from exactly the societal model they adhere to (ie; communism as a branch of socialism / collectivism).

This is exactly the kind of derangement syndrome that people from Peterson to Rand to Rothbard and many before have warned us about. Group identity politics is an application of collectivist ideology and so long as we do not hold the individual as the central & most important component of society, we will devolve into such madness.

The collectivist crowd (mob) is able to both make itself immune from bad behaviour because it has a self-endowed moral or ethical high-ground, and at the same time, is able to target individuals of a “different group” that, irrespective of WHO the individual is, are brandished as “evil” or whatever the mob want to label them as.

It’s the oldest trick in the game, and people keep falling for it.

The day we reintroduce the individual as the centre-piece, and begin to reclaim personal agency and responsibility, is the day we begin to make things better.

No group is better than any individual. The individual is the atomic unit and it all starts there.

I hope this video serves as a warning.

Matt Bilinksy, Media & entertainment & tech attorney in LA, Host of The prevailing narrative
Built a solid following online around speaking common sense.

We start with a bit of background and an origin story

- Personal life
- Inspirations
- Coming to terms with wtf is going on in Cali

Nature & Nurture

Why is free speech important?
Why is it important to be truthful?
Map & Territory

The dangers of not speaking freely (eg; self censoring)
When people are unwilling to gave good faith discussing within the boundaries of reasonable disagreement.

If you see a ghost, walk into it.

Making free speech profitable again.
Maslow's Hierarchy

America worked because of the frontiersman spirit and innovation.
Oil, Steel, Electricity and then the technology revolution.

Governance does not work at scale.
Look at USSR. Tried to merge everything altogether, it all fell apart.
Is the US better off without a federal government altogether?

Why Bitcoin, not Shitcoin
Shitcoiners are just looking to perpetuate the existing scam

How we change things and bring back sanity
Funding your Jailers

This is an Orange-Pill episode, and for those who area already familiar with my work, I hope it gives you insight into how to orange pill other Remnants.

"Money is to Markets, as God / Value is to Consciousness"

This marathon of a podcast was too long, so we've split it up into be a multi-part series exploring John's incredible "Money Messiah" article from earlier this year.

If you've not yet listened to part 1 and 2, go back and listen to that first for fuller context.

Episode #70, and #71.

Part Three:

A discussion on Mythology & Theology.

Myths emerged as narratives as a means to teach us a meta. 

Modes of being / operation.

Pagan, multi-variant gods as a map for multiple personalities for multiple contexts.

Mono-theistic god as the highest truth, the greatest good.

We ask a few thorny questions about Christianity and its expansion.

We talk about Nietzsche and "The Will to Power"

Who ask; "who defines good"?

And...Is there a thing such as a “greater good” ?

Is God:

The thing of highest value?

The thing of greatest truth?

The highest good?

The good is seeing / acting with a more truthful orientation?

Hence morality?

Hierarchies as an aggregate of values

The market as an aggregate of hierarchies

All of this, and a whole lot more.

Stay tuned for Part 4 and 5 of this mini-series!

“All Bitcoin is paper bitcoin until verified by your own full node”

Bitstein is the co-founder of both The Nakamoto Institute and Noted Bitcoin Podcast & he’s one of the most well read people I’ve ever met.

He joins me on the show to discuss the first essay he’s written in a LOOOONG time, called:

Toward a Node World Order;

How Bitcoin Obsoletes Inflation & Promotes Human Flourishing.

Read it here:

https://bitcointimes.com.au/toward-a-node-world-order/

We covered so much ground in this ep, that we split it into two parts.

In part one we cover:

Nodes. What they are, why they’re important and how they manifest our will onto the Bitcoin Network.

“Perpetual vigilance on the part of the citizens can achieve what a thousand laws and dozens of alphabetical bureaus with hordes of employees never have and never will achieve: the preservation of a sound currency.”

This is clearly how Bitcoin & nodes seem to have manifested his quote, but what do you think he envisioned when he said this?

What is the Malthusian Trap?

How did we solve for it?

The productivity theory of wages, and how Marxists in general get child labour so wrong.

Why real progress requires capital accumulation, technological advancement & public ideology

“There was never enough slaves to create an iPhone for the Pharaoh.”

Time preference

Why is the “evenly rotating economy” always going to be hypothetical ?

Why there will always be a necessity for Money

The state & public support

How money & banking help support a “good opinion” of the state (and at the very least the assumption that it’s a ’necessary evil’)

Ep 77: Money Messiah Pt 4. "The Hero Archetype" with John Vallis

"The Messiah is the Peak Hero"

The series continues with John and I delving into some sticky topics around "The Hero Archetype".

I push him on the idea of nature trumping nurture, and we wind up in all sorts of places including the gradations of consciousness, reincarnation, Ego, Paradigm shifts and more.

We define the regenerative hero; He who is able to bring forth an optimal mode of being and makes sophisticated balance of chaos and order.

The best money and the regenerative hero developed similarly.

Both are a symbol, and a means to establish the  highest form of truthful order. 

All related to his groundbreaking piece; Money Messiah.

Ep 46. Shawn Baker is a Medical Doctor, elite athlete and founder of MeatRx.

He's the man who coined the term Carnivore, and you may know him from the hilarious Tik Tok videos he makes, taking the piss out of Vegans.

We were supposed to record a while back but internet and timezones got in the way.

We even bumped into each other in Laguna Beach by accident after we missed the first opportunity to record. Classic.

In this pod we cover loads of ground including:

- Shawn's story & how he discovered Carnivore

- Pinterest stupidity 

- A world gone mad, ie; censorship, etc

- Keto VS Carnivore

- Nutrient density

- Fat & Proteins

- Strictness of the diet / mixing foods.

- What do you say to people who believe Carnivore is "extreme" or "missing nutrients", or you "need balance".

"Health is the absence of visible disease"

We also cover:

- Best cuts of meat

- Broth, bones & organs

- Seafood

- Supplementation

And touch briefly on:

- Regeneration of the soil

- Mono crop damage

You can find more of Shawn's work here:

(Let's hope it gets un-suspended)

Welcome to a very special edition of Wake Up.

Fuck your Great Reset, proudly brought to you by Svetski, Laser Hodl, Mark Moss, Michael Krieger, Joel Untapped and The Herbalist.

A group of true elites get together to cover:

1. Where are we & what’s happening?

- What’s going on with the Monetary Reset / Great Rest

- Agenda or Cluster fuck?

2. The counter-narrative

- Sovereign Individualism

- Natural Order

- Decentralisation

3. Strategies (& Psychology)

- How we’re navigating that space

- What’s on the radar

- What are the priorities?

BITCOIN IS HOPE

Svetski Plays devil's advocate:

- What does one have to gain from an engineered shitstorm?

- Complex systems are impossible to engineer.

- Would this not just be the NATURAL outcome of a group of humans who’s action is no longer tethered to reality?

- Is it not the pathway a sentient species MUST go through in order to reach “Energy Money”?

Because Energy Money is the goal.

Is Bitcoin inevitable?

It’s not technology per-se that breaks the cycle.

It’s the discovery of perfect money which ties all human action to real & immediate consequences.

Bitcoin is the Sun that melts Icarus Wings, and allows Gravity (reality) to catch up sooner.

Fake elites have always envied the true elite.

They’ve always wanted to use the masses against the remnant.

The LaserHodl Model:

A Communist / Social credit Front End

A Techno-Fascist Back End

Cloaking the message in Social Justice

Bitcoin breaks not only all the models, but all the cycles.

This ain't just some random 4th turning shit. This is the transition from a Type 0 civilisation to a Type 1. BITCOIN IS ENERGY MONEY. It must be discovered in order for a sentient species to continue to exist.

And sooooo many more soundbites in this one.

You people are gonna fucking LOVE it.

@UntappedGrowth

And thank you to @TheHerbalist for being the impetus for us to put this together.

For episode 54, I’m joined by the one and only, Erik Cason

This man, as you well know, is the original Bitcoin Philosopher, and fucking all round legend.

I love speaking with him.

He's simultaneously eloquent, brutal, brilliant, precise, nuanced and everything you could imagine in a savant / genius.

Extremely underrated and underflowed on the bird app, so if you're not following him there, then wtf are you doing with your life?

There is some beeping in the background, thanks to the power going out in Costa Rica at the time of the recording.

We discuss:

- Writing, speaking & structuring one's thoughts

- Language and thinking

- Bitcoin elitism

- Fuck you, DO NOT buy Bitcoin. Please go ahead & buy the next NFT. You deserve it

- Philosophy, Metaphysics, Politics & History

- But much roads? Fuck the roads

- Transitioning away from Crypto...unfortunately the term has been coopted and turned to shit

- "It's not the same this time"

- Crypto trying to do mass adoption by partnering with the state & existing institutions

- Bitcoin just ignoring it all, is incompatible with it all, and makes it all obsolete

- Is the crypto & blockchain horseshit a trojan horse that enables the state to blow itself up?

- Or is it an attack vector on Bitcoin?

And so much more...

Now stfu and listen to Cason & I TED talk.

Follow his work:

@ErikCason

Check out The Remnant:

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/bitcoiners-are-the-remnant

I’ll see u on the next episode.

Welcome to the first Episode of The Psychedelic Series on The Wake Up Podcast.

I've got John Vallis joining me to discuss a wide range of ideas, both for and against the use of such substances.

This is one of the best, and most requested series I've recorded.

I have many more episodes coming up, and each will cover topics listed below, and more:

• What are psychedelics?
• Why Psychedelics?
  • Why did you choose to take this side of the discussion?
  • Why does it matter so much to you?
  • What is your story of psychedelics?
  • Did it make you more open or close minded?
• What’s your position on Ego?
• What’s your position on Masculine & Feminine energies?
• What’s your position on trauma?
• Are you familiar with the Adlerian School of Psychology?
  • Do you sit in the cause or effect side of the universal equation?
• Who are people you respect. Current and ancient figures. Why?
  • What values do you respect in individuals?
  • What social norms do you think matter most, and which are we missing?
  • Do you think the world has issues right now that are resultant of liberalism or conservatism?
• Do we live in a society that is over-medicated?
• Are people weaker as a result of always having a cushion?
• Thoughts about the normalisation of these substances in the modern age & their use by the ‘average person’?
• Thoughts on their use as ‘medicines’?
• Thoughts on their use as shortcuts or even pathways to ‘enlightenment’?

“Beware of Unearned wisdom”

• Are psychedelics a tool?
  • If so, then are they not neutral?
    • And if neutral, are most people not good candidates for this?
  • If no, then why are they strictly good?
    • Are we not seeing the effects of a civilisation in moral decay because everything is liberated, progressive and relative?
    • Everything is apparently an illusion anyway, so fuck structure, fuck order, fuck ego and fuck authority. Is this not a danger?

+ So much more.

Tune in for the month of November to go down this rabbit hole.
You will NOT be disappointed.

Welcome to Episode 24 of Wake Up, and the 3rd episode of The Bitcoin Times Series.

I’ve got Jeff Booth on with me today, the Author of “The Price of Tomorrow”, one of the best books written in 2020.

I will apologise in advance to the YouTube listeners. We seem to have had some audio issues during the recording.
I managed to get the audio-only file normalised, but the video file was harder to do.

Anyway.

Jeff and I discussed LOADS on this podcast.

It was a unique one because we pulled on threads and got philosophical across a number of dimensions.

We discussed his article, of course, which you find as part of The Bitcoin Times Ed 3 (Free download at bitcointimes.news).

We discussed what happens to the world in the absence of Bitcoin, and how so-called policy makers are not necessarily evil, but are stuck because the system itself is broken.

Furthermore, we looked into how technology is an accelerant and will only serve to precipitate the inevitable deterioration of the status quo.

We discuss Capitalism & innovation as the natural state.

Mental models for the “base” frame of reference

Why conspiracies are convenient, and often not a grand plan, but an inevitable outcome based on poor underlying incentives.

Pathways toward and away from WW3

The erosion of personal agency & responsibility

How do we fix that?

Jeff also suggested a series of Books which you should all have a look at:

- Lessons of history

- A guide to the good life

- Scale – Geoffrey West

- Why you are who you are – Mark Leary.

- The art of learning

- The order of time

- Why information grows

- Actionable Gamification

- Play Bigger

You can find Jeff on Twitter @JeffBooth.

Ep 50.

Can't believe we've made it this far & not been cancelled yet..lol

To commemorate 50 episodes, I'm gonna go on a rant about the 18mths of 2wks to flatten the curve, which has not just flattened the fucking world but transformed it into some r3tarded episode of the twilight zone. 

In it, you'll get to see me on a 30min, never-before published throwback interview from the Value of Bitcoin conference in 2020.

I had a long ass beard, I was angry with the world and I'd just been triggered by a dumb ass from a well known Bitcoin business going all SJW and claiming "Bitcoin does not fix this"..

I'm thinking of doing this every 50 episodes, so let me know if you think it's a good idea or not.

Post my June 2020 rant, I review what I was right about and what I was not right about.

I also took some time to call out frauds like Obi from Coinfloor and Fusitua from Tonga.

We mashed up a bunch of scenes from the statist cuk scammers who've been lying to your face the entire time.

I remind YOU as Bitcoiners that you hold the power long term. Boycott the frauds, the liars, the scammers and the charlatans.

Thankyou to PlebMusic and GegelsMr for the assistance. They are joining the Wake Up team to make this podcast better across every dimension.

As usual, enjoy, laugh, get angry. Emotions are good.

Use them. Channel them toward something meaningful.

I'm just here to remind you of what's real and what's false.

It's then up to you to do something about it.

On this week's episode I'm joined by Colin, aka; Heavily Armed Clown and Ben Prentice, the two founders of wtfhappenedin1971.com.

We talk through Colin's incredible recent piece Wisdom & Law:

https://heavilyarmedclown.medium.com/wisdom-and-law-e235196f4c93

We talk about each of our journeys into Bitcoin and the breadcrumbs along the way which helped each of us converge onto Bitcoin very quickly despite some initial dabbling in shitcoins.

We talk about who inspired us early on, and why the "class of 2016, 2017 and 2018" Bitcoiners are some of the most revolutionary and eloquent.

We discussed Chaos & Order, and how Bitcoin embodies this process.

We discuss why some people "get it" and others don't, especially with intellectuals like Weinstein (who don't).

We look at a few things through the Jordan Peterson Lens.

And lastly the boys tell us a bit about their new WTF Happened in 2008 and 2020 projects.

This is a special Episode and a little different to what I usually do.

Pete Evans and I met many years ago in Sydney, and crossed paths a number of times since then in the most uncanny of circumstances and stayed in touch over the years.
We've recently discovered that we're on the same page on a number of ideas, so I thought it best we jump on a call to talk through some of them.

The central idea in this discussion is Personal Responsibility, which is something that's been eroded amongst the populace for many years, but something that people like myself, Pete and those listening to this podcast truly hold dear.

There's a number of other topics we touch on also, and of note, I attempt to weave Bitcoin into the discussion toward the end, but considering the scope of the topic of Money & Bitcoin, I'm not sure I did it much justice in the time we had. Nevertheless, Pete & I will connect again in future and I hope we can take you (the audience) on a Journey as we dig down the Bitcoin and Individual Sovereignty rabbit hole.

I hope you enjoy this episode, and of course, you can find Pete + his work at:

I've got Alex Gladstein from the Human Right Foundation joining me on Ep 36 of Wake Up.

As Bitcoiners, Gladstein & I see eye to eye on many things, but there are differences we have on what the ideal mechanisms of governance are.

In this episode we explore these, and look at the past, the present and what the future may hold.

Some of what we discuss:

Enlightenment Values

• Free Speech
• Freedom of Association
• Property Rights
• Freedom of belief / of & from religion

And how Democracy *may* have emerged from these.

My View of Democracy:

My contention is that progress via Democracy has been conflated with actual progress via Free markets, instead of it more accurately being represented as the parasite which has benefited from the prosperity of free markets and continued to leech resources, capacity and energy alongside.

We’re only now seeing the ramifications of this.

I put forward the idea that Democracy is merely:

Sophisticated Theft.
Democracy emerged in the west as a derivative of the prosperity created by free markets.

It’s just a more sophisticated way of stealing from people.
It’s quite simple actually.

Give them enough space to innovate and produce, and then just take all their shit *after* the fact.

It feels better initially, but it’s a much greater burden on society because it has the capacity to last.

We discuss what the future holds, and I put forward the idea of Meritocratic Feudalism as the end state in a Bitcoin denominated world.

This is a far reaching discussion and one that I hope you will learn alot from.

Allen Farrington joins me again to discuss:

The Separation of Economy & Politik

The final Cantillon effect: NVK

"Violence tends to local monopoly"

"You can't be maximally free"

Why Bitcoin is NOT a Store of Value - At least in the way people think of it.

The store of value narrative is prematurely understood 

SoV is proportionality 

Perfect proportionality is perfect SoV

Who is Wittgenstein?

Why is Bitcoin derangement syndrome so prevalent ?

Allen makes some great reading recommendations in this episode:

CJ Wilson joins me again to continue our conversation. In this episode we hit Responsibility and a whole series of unpopular political opinions, including the Shitcoin that is democracy.

Responsibility Go Up Technology

Responsibility hot potato.

UnPopular Opinions

Suffrage hurt the world more than central banking.

Popularity contest winners. Why voting doesn’t work.

Hitler didn’t claim power. He earned it.

Imagine if you have to pay to be in politics? We'd fix it.

We may even have real nobility once again.

It's been a busy couple weeks with The Bitcoin Standard Conference, PlebFi in Austin and Bit Block Boom in Dallas, so this episode had a delayed release.

Steve Barbour, Founder & CEO at Upstream Data. Inc. joined me for a shorter Podcast than I usually do, to discuss:

- What came before Upstream

- How’d you wind up in Mining?

- Rockefeller

- Monopolies & Natural Distributions.

- What is Upstream

- How can others do this?

- Does it make sense for average plebs to mine?

- What equipment?

- Comments on things like Compass?

- Regulation is not a threat to Bitcoin, it’s a threat to people who want Bitcoin

- Regulation is an own goal, and in Bitcoin, the ultimate self-own by bureaucrats

This is Episode ONE of the "Hall of Fame Series" at Wake Up, and Episode 16 overall.

These are going to be a series of Long Form discussions with special guests, every week or two where we dig deep into different themes, topics & ideas.

On Episode one I have the legendary Robert Breedlove & Gigi with me, and get Cosmic AF digging into bitcoin from multiple viewpoints.

• Physics
• Metaphysics
• First principles
• Natural Law
• Duality
• Singularity 

We dig into what the future might look like, whether or not we can solve for tyranny, What it means to have a better quality of problem and much more.

Capped off with a treasure trove of resources for you to dig into further. Books, and the minds of the giants who’s shoulders we now stand on.

Incredible stuff.
This is no shit, one of the best pods you’ll listen to this decade.

Your mind will join bitcoin in the Fukn stratosphere while listening.

It’s July 1st and the start to the second half of what’s been a shitshow of a year.   

In this episode I touch on the continued madness, and what’s likely the nail in the coffin for Hong Kong. To see these peaceful, intelligent and innocent group of people subjugated by a murderous, authoritarian dictatorship like the CCP truly saddens me.  

Furthermore, to not hear a PEEP from any of these “woke SJWs” who’ve been making a fuss about non-issues like racism over the past few weeks, simply reinforces why none of them actually gave a crap about what they were allegedly standing up for.   

In fact, when they attempt to align themselves with the protests in HK, it makes my stomach churn, because they’re literally fighting on the side of more state control and tyranny, which is EXACTLY what the HK people are fighting against.  

It’s a sad day for liberty, and although I know that corrupt, centrally managed institutions ultimately collapse in on themselves, the collateral damage along the way is painful to watch.  

Share this with your friends & who knows; maybe we can at least wake more people up to the perils of collectivism & statism.

More coming soon!

Recorded when this new stupid legislation came out enforces non-discrimination in the work place based on sexual orientation, extending from race, nationality and whatever else they have in there.

Soon enough it will extend to IQ, intellect, and every other “minority” complaint so as a business you’ll no longer have ANY choice as to who to hire, because you’ll get sued for any number of reasons.

So much for freedom of speech and the right to choose.

I literally just recorded on this the other day, so I’m going to add a little more in this video.

Forcing someone to make a decision based on your notion of morality is violence!!!

This new law is a form of violence perpetrated by the state.

Let’s use an example to illustrate it’s stupidity:

The LGBTQ community has fought for a while (especially the LGBs) to be recognised as a legitimate sub-section fo society. And that’s fine. Especially things like Gay marriage etc.

That’s a non-violent act of 2 people eloping. I personally have no interest in it, but if two people of the same se love each other & wanna get it on, go for it. I'm happy for you!

I’m glad that they stood up & fought for the right to do that. The very fact that they needed to actually fight for it pisses me off anyway, because it just shows how insane society is. We give up our moral agency to state institutions that supposedly “know better”.

So anyway. LGBs in particular, got some well deserved wins. And I’m happy for them.

They should also join us in defunding the very clowns they had to ask permission for, so they don’t have to ever be subject to such begging ever again..

But now with this law. Let’s say you’ve got a business full of gay people, and your edge is that you hire gay people only because you guys all share common values, mental models, tastes & styles. It’s a part of your USP. Should you not be allowed to do that? Is it not discrimination now that if you don’t hire some straight guy, who’s nothing like you to come in and work with you?

How would you feel if the government turned around tomorrow & said, nope; you have to hire this person "because discrimination laws”.

Like seriously. How can you give the state that power.

Private property implies you have the right to choose (ie; the very definition of discrimination) what you can & will do with YOU own property (whether it’s you, your stuff or your mind).

It's nobody else’s right to force you to do otherwise.

By enforcing these laws, you remove personal agency and responsibility.

You basically admit that you don’t actually own anything, nor do you own yourself. You’re just a subject of the government; or a “vessel” that fulfils a duty that you’ve neither agreed to or understand.

Welcome to the matrix. Congratulations you’re now a drone. No free will.

It’s time to Wake Up.

Tomer Strolight, host of the "For the Love of Bitcoin" Podcast, and writer of the brilliant "Why Bitcoin" series on Medium joins me on the latest Wake Up Podcast,

In this episode we take a look at Bitcoin through the lens of one of the most powerful philosophers to have ever lived; Ayn Rand.

Her philosophy or framework of thinking is known as "Objectivism" and is in many ways the basis for much of the Libertarian thought and Bitcoiner thought many of us align with today.

Her seminal works, Fountain Head and Atlas shrugged (especially) have been inspirations for some of the greatest leaders this century, including the likes of Steve Jobs, Nick Szabo and the Cypherpunks.

The Galt's gulch she discussed is the basis of the "Bitcoiner Citadels" idea, and the heroes of virtue and principle in her book are the archetypes which Bitcoiners naturally embody and whose values we adopt.

This is a fantastic chat, and I urge you to pick up and digest as much of Ayn Rand's work as you can.

It will profoundly impact your life, perhaps more than any other work ever written.

"A real comparison between gold & bitcoin is to compare their relative ability to alleviate uncertainty"

Pierre Rochard, VP of research at Riot Platforms Inc, and yes - THAT Pierre, joins me finally, on the Wake Up Podcast to discuss his new piece for The Bitcoin Times, entitled; Bitcoin VS Gold.

Now..this is not just another one of those articles.

This one is short, concise and you WILL take away with you a concept that you may not have thought about before. The difference between uncertainty and risk.

You can find the fill article here on The Bitcoin Times website:

https://bitcointimes.io/bitcoin-versus-gold/

We go on a few tangents in the episode also, but here are the core topics:

• Free Will & Determinism / Austrian Econ & Keyenianism
• Nature VS Nurture
• The difference between uncertainty and risk.
• Money (savings) is how we relieve uncertainty!!
• Inflationism is a policy that dissuades people from holding cash, and there forces them to become short-termist & have high time preference.
• Price is all about risk.
• Savings is how we minimise and manage uncertainty - NOT Risk
• Inflationism is a policy that dissuades people from holding cash, and therefore increases their uncertainty.

"The highest value becomes our god; the point where comparative values dissolve"

This marathon of a podcast was too long, so we've split it up into be a multi-part series exploring John's incredible "Money Messiah" article from earlier this year.

If you've not yet listened to part 1, go back and listen to that first for fuller context. It's Episode #70.  

Part two begins pulling apart the article itself starting with the big question:

What is value & where does it come from?

Key words that we use to help understand value are:

- Limitation

- Sacrifice 

- Exclusion

- Selection

- Focus

- Prioritisation 

All of course related to the concept of Hierarchies.

Another incredibly important idea that Jordan Peterson has popularised.

We then dive a little into:

- East VS West

- And how one is perhaps more liberation oriented, while the other more responsibility centric.

We talk about Nirvana and Satori.

Reaching a point where comparative values dissolve.

Is this state the "Apex state" and the goal we're aiming for, or just a way / direction?

We come up with the idea of "the interstitial nature of satori and value".

Then we related it to Spiral Dynamics.

This was a fascinating section.

We talk about "The highest value becomes our god"

We compare or relate everything against that primary value.

And a whole lot more.

Stay tuned for Part 3 of this mini-series!

"Respect goes up, Love comes down"

- Elliot Hulse

This is a show I've wanted to do for a very long time.

Elliot is someone I've respected since my early 20s when I watched his strong man and "Yo Elliot" videos on YouTube. In fact, it was around when YouTube first started. Crazy shit.

I've watched him transform, as I have transformed, and here we are more than a decade later having a discussion about topics of the utmost importance. Masculinity. Frame. The Bible.

We covered alot.

I asked him about his journey from Strong man into Christianity 

From Boy into Man.

We discussed:

• Rites of passage
• Ego death.
• Frame
• Attitude
• Purpose.
• Responsibility
• Aggression

And something he said recently, which I found very, very powerful:

"Respect goes up, Love comes down"

We spoke about the point at which Chaos meet Order.

And how modernity has both weakened the Masculine and eroded the Feminine.

How we're simultaneously experiencing excessive stultification of false order and excessive moral relativism and feminine chaos.

I asked about the relationship of all this to the French Revolution

The initial tearing down of the Patriarchy, figuratively and literally speaking

The erosion of Fatherly rule in the family, 

How much was Louis 16th to blame?

Had he been more framed, would this have happened?

And lastly...

Men Marry, Women are given in marriage.

The passing of the Authority.

The Dowry

Father's relationship to the boy VS the girl.

There's alot more.

This has to be one of my best shows.

Enjoy.

On the latest episode of Wake Up, I am joined by G. Edward Griffin, author of The Creature from Jekyll Island, Founder of the Red Pill University and The Red Pill Expo.

This is a wide ranging discussion with one of the most revered authors of our time. A man who exposed the transgressions of the central banking cartels, not just in the USA, but around the world.

We discuss so many things, including:

What was the initial objective of the Jekyll Island meet

- The formation of a cartel, leading to a monopoly.

Diffusion of banking power prior to Fed Reserve

- Means localised damage, and a corrective function toward better banking.

The Bailout Game

- Shifting losses to tax payers (socialism)

The Mandrik mechanism

The allure of socialism and its entry into the US system.

The Fabian’s and the creation of the IMF, world bank and global socialism

The conditions imposed by the IMF include mandating omnipotence on the part of the borrowing government

Africa as an example. More aid, more poverty.

Planned starvation and resettlement programs funded by the world bank.

Conquered by money not by arms

Intrinsic Value VS Objects with properties that some may find valuable.

- Money should not have any commodity use

- Money should be whatever each individual

The difference between fiat & organic money

Fiat is Enforced from the centre

Organic is Chosen at the edge, ie; the level of the individual.

It’s voluntary

If fractional money always degenerates into fiat money, then there is no mechanism for a sound money system without global, decentralised verification. Hence bitcoin.

A physical object cannot scale.

Bitcoin. The reemergence of Honest Banking. Honest banking is a function of easy, cheap verifiability. Trust don’t verify.

In the absence of a government bailout, we have a second form of accountability. Bankruptcy.

Bitcoin makes the mandrik mechanism economically impossible. No bailout.

I hope you enjoy this episode.

If you’ve not read The Creature from Jekyll Island yet, I highly recommend you add it to your list.

Peter St Onge, Research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, fellow at the Mises Institute and contributor at Zero Hedge.

In part 2 of the series, we managed to finally dig into his piece.

We tackled:

- Human history being a long battle of centralization vs decentralization, of Power vs People.

- Why, and How Bitcoin fundamentally changes this.

- Our current 400-year golden age beginning with the decentralization of the printing press

- What elements of this 400yrs were most golden?

- What evidence do we have to the contrary?

- We even looked at Chinese history.

Fascinating Stuff.

Different approach on this episode, and talk about the importance of staying hungry and how that requires a world that is dynamic.
There is NO such thing as a fixed status.

This was inspired by Arnold.
He reminds us to stay hungry, but the presupposition here is that you had to become Hungry.  

To truly be hungry you need to know what it’s like to have nothing. 

To be a have not.
To be rock bottom.  

Let’s look at one of the most important dynamics in Life:

• Being at the top 

VS 

• Being at the bottom  

People inherently don’t want to be at the “bottom” and want to get to the “top”, but in this episode, we explore why they both exist, and why this differential is absolutely critical for Life to exist.  

The benefits of being rock bottom, or down & out include:  

• Depth
• Hunger 
• Strength  

The upsides of starting at the top are great. 

• Luxury 
• Comfort 
• Ease  

But they miss out on the depth that you experience and build from being at the bottom.  By eliminating the top & bottom, and forcing everyone into a lukewarm middle, we miss the best of both side. 

In our attempt to remove the pain, we remove the meaning & numb the benefits. 

The bottom is extraordinarily important. It’s where you build depth, and the lower you go, the higher you can rise.  And the broader the range, the richer the life.  

We’ve been conditioned to believe that struggle is something we should avoid, and this conformity through comfort is a disease that makes you weak.  

Hunger has its place. It makes you strong, it makes you worthy.

I’m joined by Titus Gebel creator of the Free Private Cities concept, CEO of Tipolis and Peter Young, MD of Free Private Cities Foundation.

In the midst of the political madness rampant in the world today, ie; a cold, scam war of the people over the past 2yrs wasn’t enough, so it’s now time for a hot war…..I wanted to explore alternatives and how we can work on getting the fuck out of this mess.

We covered a broad range of topics, including:

>Why Free Private Cities change the incentive structure of the standard social Democratic political model, helping people lower their time preference and preserve capital into the future

>Why it’s important to move beyond complaining about the status quo, and make a concrete business proposal backed by real investment

>The progress that is being made in Free Private Cities-aligned projects like Próspera and Morazan in Honduras. What successes there have been and what risks there are to the projects

>Why bitcoin will provide the financial infrastructure for Free Private Cities

>Why Bitcoin City represents an opportunity for El Salvador to innovate in the realm of governance, in addition to their innovation in the realm of bitcoin adoption

> How scale matters for governance

> Welfare, Work & Immigration

> Why do people push back on this idea when it’s so evidently superior?

> Are the current incarnations of private cities fee-based or do they have to operate some form of tax model because of current statist & globalist organisations?

What does the future look like?
- Patchwork or league of private city-states?
- CEO-Kings

What are the risks?
- Contractual changes
- Relationship with host nation.
- Property acquired in a private city being confiscated.

The only long term way to ensure governments of any kind remain service providers, and not devolve into overlords, is to keep them economically accountable.

Without bitcoin, we don’t get private cities.
With Bitcoin, it’s not just necessary, it’s inevitable.

Placing the money in the realm of the physical laws on nature.
The most powerful private property.

Trav, aka Parabolic Trav, aka Meta Trav joins me for a multi-part series to discuss The Meta.

In episode 1, we're gonna explore the initial question.
Wtf is "The Meta"?

We start with a bit of background:
An origin story to know how and why he got to an understanding of 'the meta'.

- Personal life
- Inspirations
- Movies
- Texts / books / information

Nature / Nurture
- Why did you read that book in the first place?
- Why you? Why the book?

The meta: The way

Video game concept of Meta
- Life is a game
- Different evolutionary metas are like patch upgrades

Meta Timelines and periods:
- Erectus
- Sapien
- Eden
- Crisis
- Neolithic
- Jesus

Technology lead to individual hunting and feeling of possession of kill (tournament males, and accompanying hypergamy).

Property as unadapted patch upgrade, lead to maladapted emotions “envy, greed”.

Story of my journey with evolutionary biology/nutrition, owning health studio and fixing clients.

Hardware (body), firmware (adapted emotions), software upgrades (the bible meta-truths - fixing broken emotions, Abraham sacrificing son, Jesus fixing envy, lust, greed).

Key insights: natural, sexual and technological selection leads to tournament males, hypergamy, the need for the teachings of Jesus
Amalgamated idea of current Meta given different evolutionary metas

Jesus successfully integrated the tournament male.

Religion is like Bro Science.
"Feedback" oriented discovery.

The Bible is basically a book of Bro Science

Where do you get your teachings from Jesus?
- Old Testament
- Walter Wink (Jesus's third way)

Notes from Aleks
- Spiral Dynamics
- The territorial imperative
- The Japanese (bushido)
- The Chinese (The Tao)
- Stoics and the ancients

Must Reads
- The nurture assumption
- Paleo Manifesto by John Durant
- Walter Wink (Jesus's third way)
- Red Pill Christianity - Forrest Maready

I had a debate with my brother over a year ago now, about Taleb VS Peterson.

His conjecture was that Peterson’s work is just religious shit, whilst Taleb is a genius trader → and that’s all that apparently matters.

This triggered some thinking on my part, but it didn’t come up again until recently, over the course of the CoronaScam, where I’ve seen him throw out many of his purporter values.

This was further reinforced by his recent behaviour & comments about Bitcoiners too.

Now don’t get me wrong Taleb is a brilliant mind, but I think he’s a hypocrite in many ways (really fat & unhealthy guy who apparently deadlifts), so I question the authenticity of his character → the quality of his work notwithstanding

I enjoy both their work, but Peterson to me has a depth of authenticity, and a depth of character which I truly admire. And the more mature I become, the more I realise that is where the value lies in the humans we learn from & aspire to be.

I’ll let the video do the talking.

Eric Cason joins me…AGAIN to talk about something we as Bitcoiners need to think about.

--> A moral code.
--> A list of virtues.

How we must conduct ourselves, for it is WE, The True Bitcoiners, who shall inherit the earth.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why is conditioning so effective.
• Nature VS Nurture.
• Masters & Slaves
• UBI - good / bad / dumb / accelerant?
• Honesty & Privacy ?
• Privacy = Selective Honesty.

What is Bushido?

--> Japanese word that literally means "warrior way".

Bushi: "warrior" = literally 'military + man'.
Do: road, or way

• Bushido is also used as an overarching term for all the codes, practices, philosophies and principles of samurai culture.
• Bushido formalized earlier samurai moral values and ethical code, most commonly stressing a combination of sincerity, frugality, loyalty, martial arts mastery and honour until death
• It allowed the violent existence of the samurai to be tempered by wisdom, patience and serenity
• A code often unuttered to unwritten.
• Requires a rite of passage, and in order to become a Samurai, one must master this code.
• Variations by clan, by tribe and by territory.
  (Localism in action)
• Similarities to the European concept of chivalry?
  Differences to Chivalry?

Eight virtues of Bushidō (as defined by Nitobe Inazō):

1. Righteousness (義, gi)
2. Heroic Courage (勇, yū)
3. Benevolence, Compassion (仁, jin)
4. Respect (礼, rei)
5. Honesty (誠, makoto)
6. Honour (名誉, meiyo)
7. Duty and Loyalty (忠義, chūgi)
8. Self-Control (自制, jisei)

The Bushido of Bitcoin??

1. Courage
2. Responsibility
3. Truth
4. Respect
5. Honour
6. Honesty & Integrity
7. Temperance / Low time preference
8. Self Defence

Ep 33 is for the Bitcoin Plebs!

Pirate Beachbum: The Godfather of the Plebs, The Pleb of Plebs (aka; A scrub) joins me alongside Hodlonaut, The Cat, The Founder of Citadel21 & the dude who launched the first Lightning Torch.

This is dedicated to all everyone who's a Bitcoiner, whether you're a somebody, a nobody, public, or anon.

We start off with topics like:

- What does it mean to be pleb.

- Why are Bitcoiners, Bitcoiners?

- Being a contrarian

And we quickly (in typical Wake Up fashion) go deep into the more philosophical side of things, and weave all of our life stories into it.

For example: 

- What are the seeds planted, early on that helped you guys be contrarian

Nature & Nurture.

- You’re iron, and then you need to be sharpened.

- Mentors, coaches, etc

Hammer & the Nail

- Cause or Effect

- Victor or Victim

Cushioning & State indoctrination 

Examples of other things that we’re contrarian with?

- health

- masks

Bitcoin is Truth

It will accelerate the collapse of the Empire of Lies

What does Bitcoin really mean to you?

- For me its the de-monopolisation of Money

- Brings people back to themselves

- Stoic

Short, Medium & Long Term Outlooks.

What’s something we all disagree on?

Loads in here to digest.

Listen, enjoy, learn & share!

Ep 34 of Wake Up is probably the most educational I've done to date, at least in relation to biological evolution, how humanity came to be, and where it may be headed if we're not careful. 

Jean-François Gariépy, YouTuber, biologist and author of the revolutionary phenotype joins me to discuss his new book, alongside the biological evolution of humanity and life on earth.

We look at his elegant theory of how DNA has become the dominant life form on earth, and his extremely sound challenge to Dawkin's and others claims that Memes are actually a "real" replicator life form.

We also discuss:

- Quantum Darwinism and how that may be the base state
- What a Zombie apocalypse would look like, and why it would fail.

There was soooo much more in here too, including:

Definitions of:

- Phenotype VS replicator
- General VS revolutionary phenotypes

- Genes
- Memes
- Tremes
- Qenes
- Cremes

Why Not all Qenes are made equal

Problems for revolutionary phenotypes

- Forgetfulness
- Naked Warrior Problem
- Trickster printer & fool replicators

How 1 & 2 are Both solved with the Replicator Tango, and if a draw emerges in #3, then it leads to problem #4. 

In this model, we discover where Memes fail. 

- Replicator tango’s are a form of delegation.
- Memes work with problem 1 & 2
- Memes fail on #3.
- This is because Memes are Fool replicators & fail if they compete with the trickster printers. Cancer is a great example. 

JFG calls this the "Principle of mutational servitude".
Our genes are the trickster printer for the fool replicators that are memes. 

Problem 4: The printer replacement problem.
DNA won this battle (clearly). 

It's proven by:
“The principle of everlasting fingerprints” 

Adding layers to the genetic code.
The upper layer encodes the lower layer.
Each genetic code layer is the remnant or evidence of a prior phenotypic revolution.

We also dig into the idea of Quantum Darwinism (fascinating stuff).
The idea of proteins encoding quantum states. 

Abiogenesis VS Proteins & Quantum Evolution
Phenotypic Revolutions all the way down.

We discuss the The Phenotypic Separation Theory of Sex

- The origins of sex
- The 2 step process of Meiosis, and how it emerged despite it's unlikelihood.
- How through separation it somehow solved problem 1, but done away with problems 2 - 4.

Toward the end we discuss the warning of the book, ie; "The End of DNA", and teh story of the Natural's VS the Chosen's.

The Path to QNA

I pose some challenges to JFG, ie;

- Problems with genetic adjustment.
- Could the geneticists just fuck themselves up more?
- Is the complexity too great?

Where does it lead?

Quantum World?? -- Proteins — RNA — DNA -- ???

Lastly, we cap it off with discussions on:

Where does the idea of “god” or the “divine” fit and the idea of humans being of the divine ?

So are proteins created in the image of God?

Rebuttal against the guys who think Darwinism & natural selection is mathematically impossible 

What is Consciousness?

Soooooo much to digest in this one.

Listen, enjoy, learn & share.

Also the advancement of Bitcoin Privacy

- Work being done at Wasabi

- Base & Subsequent layers

- Taproot

Why Bitcoin > Monero

I’m joined by the hilarious, sharp and ever thought provoking Godfrey “Hang the Bastards” Bloom.

He’s an Austrian-school Economist and Ex Fund manager, who spent 5yrs on the European parliamentary committee of economics. Poor guy had to deal with one of the world’s most ridiculous bureaucracies for that long !?!?!?

Anyway. Lucky for England (in some capacity at least) they had someone like him in there batting for them.

We discuss:

- The modern state, and it’s supreme stupidity.

- Medieval in the suppression of the people

- How did we “somewhat” break that 1945 push for socialism? Or did we not?

- Why Gold.

- Exiting the monopoly on money

- Gold VS Bitcoin

- Customer & Service provider relationship / Subject & Overlord relationship

- “Buy Gold and Kick a Central Banker in the Balls”

- Could the state get desperate enough to go in & take that gold?

I then put forward some points about Gold’s weaknesses:

- Physicality makes it easy to confiscate, control & manipulate

- Also hard to personally secure & use

- Useless in a digital world

- Gold losing it’s monetary premium & therefore losing its use as a wealth preservation tool.

We also discussed how we need to protect ourselves in a world becoming increasingly draconian in nature. I posited that Bitcoin, being information is much harder to censor.

Godrey also pointed out that we need to see Big business getting skin in the BTC game - which we’re certainly seeing with Michael Saylor leading the charge.

This is a great, podcast and one you’ll not only learn from, but thoroughly enjoy.

This episode was going to be called the The Logan & Thor show.

Listen up to hear why.

In it, we dive into this idea of “The Sat Squeeze”

We discuss why 1 million Bitcoin (or less) will actually be available in the long run.

The rest will be lost, frozen or inaccessible.

We explore The numerator VS the denominator in Knut’s now-famous “everything divided by

21m”

We ask:

- Does infinity or 1m come first?

- How do we know what’s lost / inaccessible?

- Why is bitcoin still $40k?

- What happens at Sat - cent parity.

We explore the idea of “knowing is owning”.

“When knowing is owning, the nature of institutions changes”

Knut calls us “The trial generation of Bitcoin”

Which is true. We are the very beginning.

We discuss the idea of an “Informational element”

- Alchemists should’ve been looking to replicate the properties of gold

- Non-physical element

- Information is not just metaphorically valuable, but literally.

In Ep 60, one of my favourite Bitcoiners in the world, Brandon Quittem joins me to talk about #Bitcoin as a Pioneer Species.

He recently wrote an incredible essay, perhaps one of the GOAT's.
Exploring Bitcoin & Mining Through the Lens of Ecology

By @bquittem

https://medium.com/@BrandonQuittem/38f42ecdbb88


In this episode, we explore ALOT.

Why both Energy & Energy industry is widely misunderstand,
How it results in poor decision making
Big climate and ESG is a scam → we need to wake people up (otherwise they’re just agents waiting to be activated)

Energy abundance SHOULD be universally desired (it fits the traditional progressive agenda, but they’re blind to it)
GDP per capita = directly correlated to energy consumption

Bitcoin mining is the hardest part of bitcoin

Bitcoin mining is everything you don’t understand about energy combined with everything you don’t understand about Bitcoin.

“There is no optimistic version of the future in which humanity does not use significantly more energy than it does today.”

Symbiosis: Miners + Energy producers
How life colonizes a desolate environment for the first time.
Miners = Citadel seeds

Central Planning VS Emergent Organic, Decentralised Calculation & Action.

The idiots want to simplify humanity into a linear system, and the only way to do that is to transform diverse individuals into automatons, or numbers on a spreadsheet.

We could just as easily be a failed experiment of life, but we won’t stop life

100bn people theory
Energy mastery
Stars & the Great Lie

Explore VS Exploit
Ecology is primarily about energy (base of pyramid is plants)

Difficulty adjustment (isle royale) -- wolves vs moose

Prediction 1: Bitcoin Mining leads to Energy Abundance
Prediction 2: Early adopter countries will leapfrog laggards
Prediction 3: The Great Spreading Out

These citadels must succeed, for they have an important duty.
They must preserve the spark of freedom, for I fear it’s more fragile than we know.
Freedom is upstream of prosperity

Must Read Books:

Vaclac Smil: Energy & Civilisation
Alex Epstein: The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels
Bjorn Lomborg: False Alarm

Michael Krieger joins me on on Ep 47 of Wake Up.

He’s an Ex Wall Street guy, founder of Liberty Blitzkrieg, Bitcoiner, Father, Husband and Gardener.

The key topic of this discussion as Spiral Dynamics, a model of understanding the human collective and individual consciences through levels & layers of values frameworks.

Created by Clare Graves in the time of Maslow, and built up by Don Beck, Spiral Dynamics is a fascinating way to understand human behaviour both at an individual and collective level.

Apart from Spiral, the conversation covered:

- Localism & Decentralisation

- Global connectedness VS Globalism

- Globalism = Industrial Farming & Monsanto

- Localism = Permaculture

- Globalism cannot work because the principles it sits on are false.

- It removes accountability

- Technocratic leviathans can only exist within the framework of a monopolistic state

- Localism is natural & emergent. That’s why it was they “way it used to be”.

- Values are emergent & people naturally align around tribes & communities

- The Municipality has the MOST power, then the city, then the state, then the nation.

- Comfort & convenience.

- Static VS Dynamic inequality.

- Can move up. Can move down.

- We’ve been in a Dark Age

- Stupidity or Plan?

- Spiral Dynamics

- Don Beck & Ken Wilbur

Some books & concepts mentioned by Mike:

Brave New World Revisited.

- Huxley

Operation Mockingbird

“There is no bitcoin network outside of bitcoin nodes. Those who do not run their own full node are using someone else’s full node“

Bitstein is the co-founder of both The Nakamoto Institute and Noted Bitcoin Podcast & he’s one of the most well read people I’ve ever met.

The episode continues with part two, and we cover the balance of his incredible article:

Toward a Node World Order;

How Bitcoin Obsoletes Inflation & Promotes Human Flourishing.

Read it here:

https://bitcointimes.com.au/toward-a-node-world-order/

In this part, we cover:

• Why Gold “didn’t fix this”
• The 3 steps to a Fiat World Order
• How military conquest has been overshadowed by monetary policy
• Why Bitcoin Fixes This

Doing your own verifying and indexing is the only way to be sure your index data is secure. 

— Satoshi Nakamoto

• A full node as an independent bookkeeper

“The bitcoin network was architected in such a way that a full node can operate in a bunker, cut off from the rest of the world, save for a single internet connection” 

• The dangers of people who keep trying to extend it’s purpose beyond that, in some attempt to make it do everything (eg; Ethereum, and even Bitcoiners with Ethereum envy, eg; Stacks)
• Bitcoin Nodes and Methodological Individualism 
• What is Methodological Individualism ?
• How does it manifest with a Bitcoin Node?
• The idea that Bitcoin exists on the node seems to fry people’s brains because they can’t conceptualise how a global network can simultaneously be here in a local node. 
• “There is no bitcoin network outside of bitcoin nodes. Those who do not run their own full node are using someone else’s full node“
• The Establishment of a Bitcoin World Order 

A fundamentally better economic operating system 

The Industrial Revolution freed humanity from the Malthusian trap. Bitcoin, having put an end to counterfeiting once and for all, frees us from the fiat trap.

In this episode, we take a moment to explore The Milgram Experiments, and people's propensity to inflict pain on another, by virtue of obeying perceived authority.

This is such a powerful idea, and one that sits at the bedrock of the whole Remnant / Parasite / Masses framework.

In future I'll do one the Asch experiment also.

This is a fantastic book

All complex systems, all living systems and life by its very definition is something that moves, and is dynamic.

There are inequalities everywhere, there is compounding and power laws, there are self-reinforcing spirals & death spirals. These are all normal aspects of living systems and when allowed to operate, they do so in a dynamic equilibrium.

This is direct contrast to the morons running around taking about the “The 1%”. Whilst I agree there are UNFAIR inequalities, this is only because the base incentives of society are skewed. But so strong is the dynamism of life that even with such unfairness, those who have rigged the game are still subject the going back down the ladder.

In a FREE & FAIR system, where we all operate on the same economic rules (economics being defined as the allocation of time & energy by the individuals involved), we get a beautiful dynamic equilibrium where people move up the ladder & back down.

There is no "static" 1%. Not in free systems, and not even in rigged systems (nature is too powerful).

This is why Freedom is so important to building natural, functional societies.

The more freedom you give society, the more opportunity you create.

The more you restrict freedom for equality, the more you destroy the opportunity to create opportunity.

Therein lies the fallacy of the collectivists.

A focus on the individual and on a fixed set of rules (unable to be changed by one party) gives rise to a society in which the best of us is rewarded. It’s a convergent network effect that rewards ethical & productive behaviour/

People move up & down the scale of have’s & have not’s.

Some start at the bottom, whilst others start at the top.

But those at the bottom rise, because they grow up learning the value of hard work and perseverance, whilst those at the top, who had it easy; learn complacency. We’ve seen this in all stories of the hero’s journey.

Rocky 3 is a great example.

Mr T whooped his ass because he was fucking HUNRGY.

By removing hunger from the equation, you kill spirit & drive.

This dynamic equilibrium, found in living systems, is how freedom operates.

It’s a constant flux.

The notion of fixed equality or “balance” is what we know & define as death.

Life is alive. It’s dynamic & unpredictable by nature.

The more you can predict it, the less alive it is.

“Be like water”, as Bruce Lee said.

A flowing river is alive, static water goes rancid.

Hey everyone!

Trying something new today.

I wanted to answer a series of comments from Fountain and discuss a few outstanding ideas to make the podcast more interactive.

This is something I think I'll do every 20 or so episodes.

Maybe more frequently. Let's see how it goes.

Back to regular screening next week, with the next instalment of the Rob Malka series.

Lastly, I promised a link to the vide, The 5 Laws of Stupidity:

Nozomi is a Bitcoiner & Liberation psychologist, basically the equivalent of an Austrian economist in the psychology space.

Back by popular demand, this is part 2 of the Masculine - Feminine series, which used her recent piece as inspiration:

https://nozomihayase.substack.com/p/bitcoin-the-networked-messiah?s=w

In this ep, we explore:

The brain split:

- Right brain: instinct & intuition. The primordial void.

- Left brain: Focus, order and structure. The abstracted order.

Man VS Boy

- Role Models

- The founding fathers

- Instinct & innate wisdom

- The lack of framed men.

- Their feminisation

The founding fathers had foresight and used instinct / innate wisdom when forming the constitution.

This was strong masculine.

Thomas Jefferson (Man) VS Alexander Hamilton (Boy)

How Society preys on our disintegration

Whether the old stories, like Disney’s Beauty & The Beast, were actually useful.

The problem lies not with “acceptance”, but with the functional interpretation in the world.

And so much more.

Ep 66: Technology & Tournament Males (Meta Series Pt 2)

Trav, aka Parabolic Trav, aka Meta Trav joins me again for Part 2 of the Meta Series.

In episode 2, we dive into:

- Technology
- Tournament Males (what they are, how they arose)
- The Code of Man
- Frame
- Chivalry
- Polygamy
- Hypergamy
- Evolution
- Religion
- Morality
- Feminism
- Adaptation & Fitness

This episode (in fact, this entire Series) is one to be listened to over again.

Some highlights:

"Evolution is like a difficulty adjustment"

"We transcend the environment, and then warp/change it, so we're then un-adapated, and have to adapt once again."

"The transition process is a crisis"

"The full manifestation of frame is sovereignty."

"Morality is a constraint"
"Feminine is unconstrained instinctual, and hence immoral"

"Polygamy is unstable, and destabilises the era of the tournament male"

"Religion comes along with monogamy to correct the instability"

Evolutionary Pressure on humans occurs quicker than what we're told, eg:
- Modern Hysterics (Homo Hystericus)
- Homo Bitcoinicus

What it means to be a Tournament male:

The tournament male trains to master the exponential technology of the day that can transform effort into disproportionate returns

Size difference over the women. They need to be physically imposing, physically dangerous. You need to work out. Be strong. Know how to fight. Be healthy.

You need to be smart.

You have to combine the cerebral and physical

Courage. Must be willing to stomach risk.

Must have options, and the attitude that comes with that.

Highly Generous. Always sharing with the tribe, and the lower classes.

Care about their bloodline. You become a higher status and you want to instantiate that in your offspring. They optimise "pure blood".

They're immune to guilt and propaganda.

They understand brotherhood. Tournament males in a group are exponentially more powerful than singular, competitive males. The pair bonder may be jealous and more inclined to betray bro's for hoes.

They do what they want to do. They're not

They care about how they look. Best dressed in the cultures.

TM's are always king head first into entropy
Ability to find a balance between courage and stupidity.

You're willing to bear the consequences of the frame you've chosen to project.
Responsibility and the age of responsibility.

Bitcoin is perfect frame.

Frame is responsibility
- Standards
- Interests
- Habits

Reconciling religious guilt VS not having guilt as a framed man.

- Guilt is when you deviate or break frame.
- Our goal as men is to unite with the ultimate frame of the divine.

How do you build this frame?
- Together. Brotherhood.

There is so much more.
Just get your ass in there and listen

On this week's Ep, I've got two Medical Doctors and Bitcoiners, joining me to talk Health, Medicine, Viruses, Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex, Bitcoin, Economics, and much, much more.

I'm trying to do something different with the Wake Up Podcast, so I'm going to continue to bring on guests from various backgrounds who've all started from first principles and made their way to conclusions that are consistent with others that have followed different, but similarly first principles derived paths.

In this discussion, we looked at the world through a brilliant mental model that Dr Bitcoin MD put forward:

• Incentives
• Trade Offs
• Autonomy
• Meaning

Viewing the world through each of these lenses can teach you alot about where we are, how we got here and where we might be going.

I really hope you enjoy this, and in particular share it around with people you know who might be skeptical of the stance of responsibility.

As usual; Listen, Learn, Share and Subscribe.

I'll see you on the next episode.

Scott Horton joins me again for Part 2 of our "Monopoly on" series of Podcasts.

The last episode, if you've not yet heard it is Episode 29:

https://anchor.fm/wakeuppod/episodes/Ep-29--Scott-Horton--Aleks-Svetski--The-Monopoly-on-Violence-Pt-1--Wake-Up-Podcast-eplqcs

In this episode, we finally go down the Bitcoin Rabbit hole, and I make a call to all Libertarians out there to begin to understand Bitcoin, why it exists and how it is the best & most peaceful weapon we have against the state.

Scott puts forward his framework (The Scott Horton method) of helping people whether left or right, come toward libertarianism, by agree with them and asking them to stay consistent wth their beliefs as they're applied to matters they may not agree with.

We also discuss:

- Proud Boys & Similar groups being labelled as domestic terrorists.

- AOC bullshit.

- Has war changed in 2020? (Ie; implicit wars like lockdowns, mask mandates, etc)?

- Mexican Stand off / Deterrence, so now war is covert.

- The difference between speaking to existing libertarians and normal people.

- We started at the Plumb line. We've deviated. Are we managing to bring people back around?

- Break the Monopoly on Money

- How do we fix this? (Bitcoin, defund Brrr)

- Libertarians & "battered woman syndrome".

- How do we get more Libertarians onto Bitcoin?

- The renunciation of power is perhaps where the weakness in libertarianism comes

And lots more.

Episode 20 of the Wake Up Podcast is one of the most mind-blowing yet.

Brandon Quittem, the Mycelium master & the always deep & eloquent Gigi join me.

There we so many breakthroughs during this conversation.

The framing of Bitcoin as a Living Organism is likely the most profound there is.

We discussed life as a concept: "That which continues".

Life is:

- Adaptability

- Survivability

- Continuation

How markets function like a biological system, or biological systems function like markets.

Emergence as a concept

Life being emergent, complex and bottom up, not top down.

Contrary to how religionists think (in general) ?

We looked at Bitcoin through the lens of the Sovereign individual thesis:

Fragmentation as something that WILL happen, whether or not we do it consciously.

We the tied this into the idea of Bitcoin & the great filter (article by Svetski coming soon, and Brandon making mention of it here:

https://medium.com/@BrandonQuittem/bitcoin-is-the-antivirus-mushroom-medicine-part-3-4-fd1e6606a3f8

We then took some time to compare Evolution VS utilitarianism, alongside the religionists mis-interpretation of darwinism.

- God or nature ?

- Creator or creating?

As a life form, we established that Bitcoin is absorbing all these ideas and reading a larger, complete, complex system.

Like how larger cells absorbed the mitochondria.

Life & fragmentation.

The story of humanity: Pockets of centralisation in broader networks.

Tribes, cities, even countries or continents.

This was SUCH a great discussion.

Lastly, I want to make a special Shout out to Guy Swann.

Stephan Kinsella is a Patent Attorney in Texas, Austrian AnCap philosopher, writer & hands down one of the smarter & most well-read people I've ever spoken to.

In this ep, we discuss:

- SK's Journey on Why or how he become a libertarian

- Where Austrian Econ fit in?

- A little about Bitcoin coming on the radar, and "fixing this".

We discuss consistency of thought, principles and ideas.

A little on Patent Law & Private property, although we'll probably do an Ep 2 in this.

We explore:

- Rand's critique on Anarchy

- Rand's support of IP

The difference between ownership & possession

- Is Ownership is that which you can protect?

- How do you prove initial possession?

- How do you enforce ownership?

Are the rules & norms of a community or city a sort of constitution?

How do these rules scale across populations?

How do you synchronise those larger scale ideas with societies that have different values, ie; the Confucian east?

War is expensive only with sound money (Bitcoin fixes this)

We dig into a bit about private property rights from both the Lockean view & a more tangible viewpoint inspired by Hoppe.

"The entire point of property rights is to solve conflict."

And I ask the question:

Why are Libertarians not as widely thrilled about Bitcoin as one might expect them to be? 

There was a series of books that Stephan also mentioned.

I've listed them here for you:

Walter Block: I chose liberty

- Assortment of stories about how people became libertarians. 

Randy Barnett

- The structure of Liberty

Hoppe

- A theory of Socialism & Capitalism

- Economics & ethics of Private property

Mises:

- Ultimate foundation of economic science

Rothbard:

- The logic of action 1 & 2

- Economic controversies

What is the most honest use for Psychedelics?

- Spiritual, Medicinal, or Hedonism?

Welcome to the second Episode of The Psychedelic Series on The Wake Up Podcast.

Brandon Quittem & Lex, aka Bitcoin Mechanic join me to discuss a wide range of ideas, both for and against the use of such substances.

This is one of the best, and most requested series I've recorded.

More episodes coming up, and each will cover topics listed below, and more:

What are psychedelics?

Why Psychedelics?

Why did you choose to take this side of the discussion?

Why does it matter so much to you?

What is your story of psychedelics?

Did it make you more open or close minded?

What’s your position on Ego?

What’s your position on Masculine & Feminine energies?

What’s your position on trauma?

Are you familiar with the Adlerian School of Psychology?

Do you sit in the cause or effect side of the universal equation?

Who are people you respect. Current and ancient figures. Why?

What values do you respect in individuals?

What social norms do you think matter most, and which are we missing?

Do you think the world has issues right now that are resultant of liberalism or conservatism?

Do we live in a society that is over-medicated?

Are people weaker as a result of always having a cushion?

Thoughts about the normalisation of these substances in the modern age & their use by the ‘average person’?

Thoughts on their use as ‘medicines’?

Thoughts on their use as shortcuts or even pathways to ‘enlightenment’?

“Beware of Unearned wisdom”

Are psychedelics a tool?

If so, then are they not neutral?

And if neutral, are most people not good candidates for this?

If no, then why are they strictly good?

Are we not seeing the effects of a civilisation in moral decay because everything is liberated, progressive and relative?

Everything is apparently an illusion anyway, so fuck structure, fuck order, fuck ego and fuck authority. Is this not a danger?

+ So much more.

Tune in for the month of November to go down this rabbit hole.

You will NOT be disappointed.

Nozomi is a Bitcoiner & Liberation psychologist, basically the equivalent of an Austrian economist in the psychology space.

Back by popular demand.

In this episode, we explore her latest piece, Bitcoin; The Networked Messiah.

https://nozomihayase.substack.com/p/bitcoin-the-networked-messiah?s=w

And in particular, dive into the relationship, symbiosis and attempted erosion of both the Masculine and Feminine.

Questions we ask include:

- Where is something like religious authority important?

- Earned VS decreed authority

- The Shadow sides of the Masculine and Feminine

- Is there a difference between instinct & intuition?

My argument that modernity is caught in the struggle of the shadow of the feminine.

Tyranny, passive aggression, we’re all in this together, collectivism and deceit are all feminine characteristics

Is the relinquishing of power a transformation of the strong, protective masculine, into a dependant feminine.

It seems as though the attempt is to dissolve the ego and the individual into the mass of the collective is the transformation into feminine.

When we remove the ego, the individual, the masculine, we end up with the problem we have

The confused world is a mixture of the simultaneous erosion of both masculine, rational structure and the intuitive, feminine relationship to nature.

Hence why it seems to be a complex problem.

The founding fathers had foresight and used instinct / innate wisdom when forming the constitution.

This was strong masculine.

This was a KILLER episode.

Taking a little detour from Bitcoin history, and into Trigger-territory this week.

My latest article, is the first I've done in a LONG time that is not Bitcoin-centric, but life & philosophy centric.

I'm tired of all the "Ego death" myopia out there, spouted by faux philosophers like Ryan Holiday and their brainless acolytes who are simply empty vessels, easily influenced by vague platitudes like "no suffering & no self".

In this essay, I make the case for the necessity of the Ego, and suggest that you as a human, alive with a mind, body & soul, pay this ancient, emergent construct of nature (or gift of God), some respect.

Your Ego is your Character and your Personality.

"Ego Death" is nothing to proud of, nor something top be pursued. If that's your life's mission, you're an immature moron.

I hope this is triggering for those with fragile Egos, and for those who have the strength of character and fortitude of Ego, I hope you find it an argument with merit.

Here's the article:

A lot of the things they want are actually “nice things”.

The problem is they don’t think critically, nor deeply, and their ideas actually result in the opposite of what they want.

So it’s not that they’re necessarily bad people - they’re just naive, lazy, and generally stupid.

They don’t think in terms of consequence, nor in terms of nuance.

They just think at the surface level & in black in white.

They therefore cause more problems & proceed to blame it on everyone else.

This is my shortest video to date.

This marathon of a podcast was too long, so we've split it up into be a multi-part series exploring John's incredible "Money Messiah" article from earlier this year.

We of course dive into more than just the article, of note; we casually discover the meaning of life...seriously...well sort of

Listen up and you'll understand what I mean.

Part one covers:

- The process of writing

- Ordering & formatting information, from the chaos of 'the subconscious void'

- How insights emerge

- Evolution as the process of discovering greater Fidelity, precision, accuracy.

- We explore the Metaphysics of Quality (Persia's work)

- We discuss Consciousness, and touch on Eric Neumann book

- Matter VS What matters (one of my favourite topics)

And a whole lot more.

Stay tuned for Part 2 of this mini-series!

On Ep 43, I’m joined by Jane Gatsby, host of the Wonderland Podcast, student of complexity, philosophy, liberty.

She’s a brilliant and extremely sharp young woman, with a curious mind and an extraordinary ability to simplify and explain complex topics including:

What is philosophy

What is epistemology

What is Metaphysics?

What is complexity theory?

Philosophy

Why does it matter / who needs it?

We dig into why these fields of study and thought matter.

How Complex systems are adaptive and emergent.

How they use random error to their advantage (Anti-fragility)

Agents, drives and signals

We talk about Bell curves VS Pareto distributions

Attempts by central planners to run complex systems top down, instead of leaving them to function bottom up

How using empirical methods to understand social sciences and phenomena is not a great idea, and how we should in fact get rid of social sciences all together.

Determinism & Liberty.

- Free Will.

- Are we part of the deterministic equation?

- Nature & Nurture

- Alan Watts & Decisions.

The structure of Freedom

- Politics is downstream from morality

- Rights VS Responsibilities

- The problem with majority (democracy)

- Who watches the watchmen (what keeps the people or the government in check?)

- Who is the final arbiter?

- Right: Coercion via Force

- Left: Coercion via Finance

Anarchism

“Might is Right”. Is that really nature?

I’m not sure I agree with this, because might is a relative term.

Competence & Merit.

Royalism / Citadels.

Charter city states / citadels.

Trade offs to develop each along the way

Lose the patch, the realm becomes worthless

Protecting the borders is of highest import

Private land ownership

Is the royal not the private owner ?

Agree that it’s that which u can defend

Logging, fishing and pollution can only find equilibrium when there is a cost to the capital.

That requires private property.

The prince is the owner in this case, but he must remain at risk of challenge.

And the challenge must come from competing private property owners.

Hence the natural requirement for lords.

Monopolies mean no competition

100% agree with the patchwork model

But it requires competition.

This is why we cannot get there without bitcoin

The globalists can fund themselves through fiat, until it all blows up at least.

Citadels

- Scale

- Remove the financial power

- Competition

- Separation of Money & state

- Dynamic InEquality / Casts / Classes

Jordan Peterson & his misunderstanding of dynamic equality.

Money & Bitcoin

People sitting on their savings do NOT inhibit others from creating their own wealth.

People conflate money with wealth. One is fixed, the other is unlimited.

Purchasing power is what counts.

Income inequality is central to complexity.

Earning wealth no longer requires coercion

Fundamental change to existence

And…Jane introduces us to 5 thinkers who have influenced her, some of which you will probably already be familiar with:

- Ayn Rand

- Jordan Peterson

- Sam Harris

- Douglas Hofstadter

- Curtis Yarvin

Follow her on:

And definitely check out her Podcast “Wonderland”:

https://anchor.fm/jane-gatsby

Ep 27 is a no holds barred, raw, honest and "straight to the core of the issue" podcast which pierces right through all the bullshit.

You know that when you've got myself, David & Francis on a podcast, you're going to get real talk - and no pussy footing around.

The world has been drowning in increasing levels of stupidity, and whilst the number of people willing to speak up is growing, they're all being censored left, right & centre.

In this podcast we cover the following:

• How the world is a disaster right now due to the renunciation fo responsibility, or in Francis's words; Ass covering & Plausible deniability.
• How Taleb succumbed to his theories and didn’t put them in practice. He took his skin out of the game
• Why Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged was an instruction manual, not a fictional story.
• How she was 100% accurate in the way she described the disillusionment of society.
• Why disputed Taleb's recent lunacy, his did accurately point out that people don’t actually care about inequality - they care when they know that the game is rigged.
• The problem is, the game IS rigged, and EVERYone is disillusioned, AND responsibility has been renounced.
• How the free market is being criminalised.
• Why the "public system" has perpetuated the removal of personal agency & responsibility 

This is a killer podcast>

I challenge him on how calling one’s “representatives” cannot help, when those reps are working on the basis of a moral hazard. Also on voting being a sham, because the only real vote that counts is where one allocates their economic energy.

This is an Orange-Pill episode, and for those who area already familiar with my work, I hope it gives you insight into how to orange pill other Remnants.

Hey Guys!

Quick Remnant Recap today, talking about where I'm at and what's coming down the pipeline for the balance of the year.

Some cool episodes are going to be released, and either a series on The Austrian Edition of The Bitcoin Times, or Psychedelics. Will see what I have time for.

Can you enter the psychological realm without also entering the realm of spirit?
And what are the consequences of the latter?

Welcome to the third Episode of The Psychedelic Series on The Wake Up Podcast.

Will Spencer & Tomer Strolight join me to discuss a wide range of ideas, both for and against the use of such substances.

This is one of the best, and most requested series I've recorded.

More episodes coming up, and each will cover topics listed below, and more:

• What are psychedelics?
• Why Psychedelics?
• Why did you choose to take this side of the discussion?
• Why does it matter so much to you?
• What is your story of psychedelics?
• Did it make you more open or close minded?
• What’s your position on Ego?
• What’s your position on Masculine & Feminine energies?
• What’s your position on trauma?
• Are you familiar with the Adlerian School of Psychology?
• Do you sit in the cause or effect side of the universal equation?
• Who are people you respect. Current and ancient figures. Why?
• What values do you respect in individuals?
• What social norms do you think matter most, and which are we missing?
• Do you think the world has issues right now that are resultant of liberalism or conservatism?
• Do we live in a society that is over-medicated?
• Are people weaker as a result of always having a cushion?
• Thoughts about the normalisation of these substances in the modern age & their use by the ‘average person’?
• Thoughts on their use as ‘medicines’?
• Thoughts on their use as shortcuts or even pathways to ‘enlightenment’?
• “Beware of Unearned wisdom”
• Are psychedelics a tool?
• If so, then are they not neutral?
• And if neutral, are most people not good candidates for this?
• If no, then why are they strictly good?
• Are we not seeing the effects of a civilisation in moral decay because everything is liberated, progressive and relative?
• Everything is apparently an illusion anyway, so fuck structure, fuck order, fuck ego and fuck authority. Is this not a danger?

+ So much more.

Tune in for the month of November to go down this rabbit hole.

You will NOT be disappointed.

Here we are. The REMNANT Round 3.  

With Francis Pouliot, Der Gigi, Pablo F7Z & myself; Svetski. 

This series of episodes have become a phenomenon of their own, and are always in the top 3-5 most listened to of anything I record. 

Remnant Pt 1: https://anchor.fm/wakeuppod/episodes/Ep-27--The-REMNANT--Francis-Pouliot--Dave-Bradley--Svetski--Wake-Up-Podcast-epb763
Remnant Pt 2: https://anchor.fm/wakeuppod/episodes/Ep-45-Remnant-Round-2--Francis-Pouliot--John-Vallis-on-The-Wake-Up-Podcast-e14etui

Bitcoiners are the Remnant: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/bitcoiners-are-the-remnant

If you're familiar with any of our work, you know what you're getting yourself into.
If you're not, then prepare to get riled up. 

Remnant podcasts are always straight talking, no bullshit, unforgiving discussion about reality, Bitcoin, the sludge, the masses, the present, the future and the true hero's journey. 

In this episode, we cover:

- A New Age of Empires & Kings
- Fake Elite's VS Natural Elites
- Preserving The Remnant Bloodline
- The end of all Cycles as we know them 

"Bitcoin doesn’t just break all the models. It breaks all the cycles" 

- Bitcoin as the final cantillon effect, and the final exit point.
- Low time preference humans who focus on morality and the preservation of their bloodline.
- This is the new age of kings & queens. Of lords and noble families.
- The real Elite. The Remnant.
- The difference between The Remnant, The masses, and the Parasites.
- Selective adoption VS mass adoption
- Narrowcasting VS Broadcasting
- Tribes & the exclusionary principle.
- How does one prepare for the hero’s journey?
- Last quarter of the hero’s journey. Return to the tribe & re-integration. 

And much more of course. 

This is one of those conversations that get's better as it goes.

On Episode 44, I’m pleased to host Alex Epstein.

Philosopher, energy expert, author of the Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, founder of the centre for industrial progress.

We get into a whole lot of philosophy on this episode and wrap it up with a discussion about energy.

We take a deep dive into the psychology of the green movement and the anti-human movement.

Why are we packaging the anti-human with the positive elements of sustainability

We discuss objectivism and Ayn Rand’s work.

The jungle, the concrete jungle & the garden.

The moral case for Fossil Fuels. At a high level.

Energy density

Environmental Damage done with renewables

Average rate of return for energy input into renewables

Energy independence with “renewables”. Myth or fact?

Self sufficiency with fossil fuels. How ?

Efficiency with fossil fuel innovation

What do we need to work on?

We didn’t get into where nuclear fits in, but you’ll get the picture.

I took a moment to tie Bitcoin to energy (because it IS energy money), and make clear that in tying money to unforgeable energy, we root it in physical laws and therefore make impossible the waste, capital and innovation misallocation that’s the real core issue in the world today.

This is why bitcoin fixes this.

On this week's Ep, I've got a very special Guest.

Scott Horton, one of the world's most vocal and hard working Libertarians and anti-war authors.

He joined me to speak about why and how foreign policy is the most important aspect of a presidency or nation state’s impact. 

How a monopoly on violence gives the state the power of an empire.

• Why wars so enticing for a state.
• Is modern warfare different to medieval & ancient warfare? Why?
• How did we get here? What went wrong along the way?
• The constant state of emergency
• Does he think what’s happened in the last 14mths (globalist agenda) is in some ways retribution for America’s meddling in everyone’s shit?
• If we were more localised, would these kinds of wars or conflicts be as much of a reality?
• When is War necessary?

One of the resources that Scott Mentioned was a series of works by Garet Garrett:

- The revolution that was

- Ex America

- Rise of Empire

**Disclaimer**

This is my first episode since I dissected that Dan Tapiero & Raoul Pal video (yeah, I’ve been busy).

It’s rough, but I hope you enjoy the content and can bear with me as I churn these suckers out.

I promise they will improve, so thanks for listening and remember to subscribe, etc.

___________________________

Discrimination & Diversity

There is a major level of cognitive dissonance going on with people (especially leftists & collectivists) who are ‘against' discrimination, but ‘for' diversity.

As usual, because they don’t take a moment to THINK before they speak, their positions are contradictory! In this short video, I’ll break that contradiction down and make the point that discrimination is fundamentally critical in the path to diversity, because to discriminate means to choose, and choice is the basis of differentiation and diversity.

The idea of self-ownership and personal property rights, whether that property be your business, your money (and where you choose to spend it), your friends, your body & being, your opinion, or what goes on in your mind, is that YOU can choose to make a decision (ie; discriminate), based on whatever reason you want to. It implies it’s yours to do with as you please.

That’s freedom.

Now…if you decide to initiate violence upon another, based on some discriminatory reason; well the problem is not discrimination; it’s the fucking violence - irrespective of the reason. The aggressor is the aggressor - and who is being transgressed upon has the right to defend themselves.

The very notion of not being able to discriminate means choice does not exist.

And you might say “oh it’s not to that extent”.

And I say: “oh really? Where is the line drawn? Who gets to decide that? And what happens when the next group starts to demand more?”.

Tyranny never starts out blatant. It begins as small transgressions on our freedom. It requires us to ever so slightly violate our values, and continue to do this incrementally, until before you know it - we’re Nazi guards or deranged Karen’s.

We need to discuss these things early and cut out their venom before it spreads.

Joining me on Episode 18 of the Wake Up Podcast, and the third episode of the Hall of Fame Series are Knut Svanholm and Ben from BTC Sessions.
This episode is called "Bitcoin Atheists" and will have to be part 1 of 2 because there was so much to go through and we hit 3hrs already!  

We dug into alot of things, including:  

Definitions for: 

• God 
• Religion 
• Prophets 
• Spirituality 
• A higher power 
• Consciousness & Connectedness 
• A void that binds / the ultimate being 
• Love & Connectedness 
• Atheism 
• Truth (although we didn't get into this enough)  
• Is the bible agnostic, but the 'religionisation' of it & the subsequent institutionalisation is where the problem lies?  
• Did Religion & the nation state initially help us transcend the version of power in place?  
• Responsibility / removal of skin in the game is how the system rots.  
• Were the message of texts like the bible were about taking responsibility in some sense?  
• Bottom up VS top down transformation  

Necessary steps in the evolution of humans? 

• Spiral Dynamics 
• General history  

Are we living in a Simulation??  

Religion / Democracy & Time Preference (but will save this more for part 2).   

This was a fantastic call & discussion.

This episode was inspired by a Tinder debate...of all things.

What I thought was going to be an interesting discussion, evolved into a debate with someone who believes that “free markets” have somehow been disproven, that money is an illusion, and that the core problem with the world is lack of regulation with respect to large corporates who exist to rape & pilliage society and it’s people.

When confronted with ideas like the cantillon effect; the only response she could muster was: “it’s not that simple; central banks do not have that much power”.

She claimed to want to do “help people” and then basically stated that “individuals are too incompetent & (in her words) irrational to make decisions on their own”, and as a result we should have regulations which enforce limits on growth.

I was clearly triggered and I wish I saved the damn conversation but she deleted / blocked me on tinder before I could do so..hahahaha

Oh well - at least it inspired this video, which I hope you enjoy.

As usual, subscribe, share and follow me on both twitter & medium @AleksSvetski

**Disclaimer**  I'm still working on the flow & quality, so bear with me. Subsequent videos are getting better. 

Equality is the WORST outcome for society, unless you want to create a one full of drones, who all think the same (ie; USSR, CCP, Nth Korea).  

The very definition of “different”, or “original thinking” is the antithesis of conformity.  If we force individuals to conform, for some short sighted notion of equality, we literally destroy the very essence of what makes life special.  

Look at who we’ve aspired to be & been inspired by throughout history. 

Everyone from Jesus, to Aleksandar the Great, to Eminem, to William Wallace, to Oprah, to Bonnie & Clyde, Kurt Cobain, Beyonce, Tupac, Kanye, Batman, Orwell, Dostoyevksi, Rothbard, Einstein, Tesla, Newton, Solzhenitzin, Peter Theil, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Joan of Arc, Terrence McKenna, Maradona, Mandela, Ghandi, The wright brothers, Banksy, Oceans 11, The Matrix, V for Vendetta.  

Being different & thinking different is only possible when people are free to do so.  This is fundamentally antithetical to conformity, and as an extension; equality. 

 Monocultures cannot, by definition breed diversity. They become baron, dry, uni-directional, and grey.  

Freedom may be messy, but it’s where all the colour in life is. 

This is where real, emotional, personal art comes from. Not the super-predictable, overtly political bullshit we see today, with a bunch of “woke” brands & corporates just parroting the same thing.  

There’s nothing unique here. There’s nothing original. It requires no courage to say what the last person said.  It takes courage, strength, passion and bravery to be different - and that’s what we kill as we lead with “equality & conformity” instead of “freedom & individualism”.  

What a sad, drab world it would be if we were all the same. 

There’s one example I can think of that’s done well at this. They’re efficient, but at what cost to the human spirit? 

Yeah - Nth Korea. Much of China is like that too.  That’s not a world worth living in.  

Another good visual is the Pixar movie; Wall-E. 

That’s unfortunately where we’re headed.  

To grow, on an individual level, and as it’s logical extension; the level of the organism (humans), we have to move outside of what’s known. We have to move beyond the comfort zone, but this is only possible with Freedom. 

Struggle is where the beauty & colour of life comes from. That’s the very definition of being “alive”.  The more we push for equality, and eliminate the freedom to choose, the freedom to discriminate, the freedom to speak, transact, and think, the more we sterilize the very “life” out of life.

People always refer to the morality of “democracy”, and it being the mechanism of rule that's the fairest & most just - but it’s just NOT true.

Democracy will always devolve into authoritarianism because it’s just another form of collectivism requiring you to give up your personal agency to an external authority.

A truly FREE society is one where economics rules, and the ability to cast your vote live at all times is the only way we can have a truly open, functional, liberty-centric society.

This might sound like blasphemy to some, but in order to make sense of this statement, one has to understand what economics actually measures.

Economics is the study of the allocation of resources (primarily time & energy) by individual participants in a society.

This is the free-market, and more broadly, free-society form of organisation & convergence that does not require a central authority to decree what should happen, how & when (which is often inefficient & inaccurate).

Economic decisions are real, live, functional votes in a free society. It’s representative of your choice here & now, and is more powerful than any other force in the world, especially a “democratic” one.

Thanks for listening guys.

Nozomi is a Bitcoiner & Liberation psychologist, which is basically the equivalent of an Austrian economist in the psychology space.

We dig into her background in liberation psychology, what it is, what it means, how it is different to the mainstream, victim-oriented psychology we've been conditioned to think is "normal".

We look at psychology’s denial of soul/monopoly of knowledge (‘experts’ promote a distorted view of humanity)

The battle over what it means to be human

Ex. B.F. Skinner’s behaviorism (that denies free will) VS Carl Rogers’ humanistic psychology (that advocates freedom of choice)

Psychologist James Hillman characterized this war:

“My war - and I have yet to win a decisive battle - is with the modes of thought and conditioned feelings that prevail in psychology and therefore also in the way we think and feel about our being. Of these conditions none are more tyrannical than the convictions that clamp the mind and heart into positivistic science (geneticism and computerism), economics (bottom-line capitalism), and single-minded faith (fundamentalism).”

We take a full on detour to explore the psyche of the Psychopath...
Some very interesting shit..

Nature VS nurture. What do u think I the mix?
What percentage of people are psychopathic?
Is psychopathy nature or nurture?

Who are the remnant?
Who are the sheep?
Who are the parasites?

How different are parasites & remnant?

What’s the evolutionary significance of the psychopath?

How long have psychopaths been around for?

Integration of the shadow element.

Psychopathy developed with the emergence of the ego.
So maybe it’s an unconditioned, or exaggerated ego?

At what point does it develop? Eg; teenagers.


Two sources that you should ALL dig into:

- Rudolf Steiner
- Valentine Tomberg (Meditation on the Tarot)

"The alchemists interpreted reality as having a fractal-like structure, and that therefore truths revealed in the microcosm, could be applied to the macrocosm, and visa versa"

The series continues...

John and I explore Alchemy - an absolutely fascinating subject.

If you've not yet listened to part 1, 2 3 and 4 go back and listen to that first for fuller context.

Episode #70, #71, #72 and #77

In this episode, we ask:

- What is Alchemy?

- What was its pursuit?

- Why is Satoshi “The Alchemist”?

- Is Bitcoin The Philosopher's Stone?

- Are Bitcoiners the modern Alchemists?

- Why do some people succumb to Bitcoin Derangement Syndrome?

- What is a Heirophany?

And are Bitcoiners the first of the regenerative hero’s to undergo the process of internal value re-organisation?

--> Carl Jung refers to these people, who are first to encounter such novelty, as the ‘most refined and differentiated minds of the age’, who ‘detect emergent anomaly, and begin the process of adaptation to it, long before the average person notices any change whatsoever in circumstance.

This was one of my favourite discussions.
