Here is the most painful piece I have ever written: "Sovereignism Part 8: Everywhere and Nowhere" exploring market dynamics, the nature of fiat, #Bitcoin, and the mass-psychosis of totalitarianism.
Quick thread of a few excerpts from this written work⬇️
"Humans not only trade goods, and the ideas on which they are based, but they also imitate one another’s actions in waves of mimetic exchange—imitative patterns of action directly responsible for the development and propagation of ritual, culture, and social institutions."
"As covered previously in this series, political statism is a mass-psychosis premised on the profitability of property violation. This psychotic mode of human organization—a watered-down version of outright slavery—is dependent on a general ignorance and passivity among people."
"The end result for every state across history is mass-suffering, collapse, or defeat in war. Statism has always been a self-defeating enterprise, because it is based on the falsehood of fiat: an assertion about reality made in an attempt to override reality."
"A mass-cerebral aneurysm, totalitarianism is the inevitable end game of statism. The reason is fairly straightforward: the initial act of coercion, no matter where it originates, must mimetically propagate and become magnified in the market process."
"As a coercion-based business strategy, statism strives to grow tax revenues until there is total submission to state power. In its final form, statism becomes the de facto super-dominant social institution, giving way to the most dangerous mass-psychosis of all—totalitarianism."
No pain, no gain. I hope this resonates as the topic is quite relevant to the madness we see unfolding worldwide today. Knowledge is power, and with great power comes great responsibility. Individuals taking responsibility for themselves and their actions is the path to healing.

I am behind on the past few @WhatisMoneyShow episode announcements, and since we have been releasing some absolute bangers, here is a quick thread on our recent releases:
Whitney Webb (@_whitneywebb) is a professional writer, researcher, journalist, and host of an independent podcast called Unlimited Hangout. We discuss deep state power, Jeffrey Epstein's case, and corruption at the highest levels.
Samson Mow (@Excellion) is the CEO of JAN3, a new #Bitcoin technology company with a mission to accelerate hyperbitcoinization. We discuss the necessity for nationstate Bitcoin adoption, the importance of education, and today's financial dystopia.
Extremely excited to announce the release of The Platonic Philosophy Series today on The @WhatisMoneyShow! The eminent philosopher @vervaeke_john joins me for a 10-hour conversation on the masterful book "Plato's Critique of Impure Reason."
Quick thread outlining each episode⬇️
Episode 1 "A Logic of Violence" explores the way is which sophistic relativism inevitably descends into violence, and why a proper relationship with the absolute is necessary for live well-lived.
Episode 2 "With Good Reason" explains the commonalities between reason and love, how each is characterized by the attempt to reach beyond itself.
With over 8 hours recorded together, this is one of the most information-rich conversations I've had on the show. @balajis has an impressive breadth and depth of knowledge; and his views on the future are wildly fascinating, to say the least.
One of the most profound lessons the study of #Bitcoin, money, and economics will teach you is that the materialist perspective is incomplete. For humans, motivational significance matters more than any substantive reality...
A civilizational paradox: as we strive to push back the uncertainties of entropy through capital accumulation and the establishment of socioeconomic protocols, we run the risk of creating a tyrannies of excessive order. To succeed, we must surf a knife-edge of order and chaos...
Finally releasing episode 1 of what may prove to be one of the most profound series ever produced on The @WhatisMoneyShow...
Join Mike Hill and I as we dive deep into Robert Pirsig's excellent book "Lila: An Inquiry into Morals."
In this under-appreciated book, Pirsig proposes an alternative to subject-object metaphysics which he calls the Metaphysics of Quality. In this view, reality is composed of distinct patterns of value, not substance.
Where is the bottom of the #Bitcoin rabbit hole? Nobody knows. But I can promise you this series will be plunging new depths by asking another seemingly simple question: "What is value?"
Here is the time-stamped outline of The Mike Hill Series episode 1.
@jeffreyatucker is a brilliant thinker, writer, and speaker—his message is of preeminent importance amid the declining conditions of liberty worldwide. This sub-1 hour conversation is well-worth your time, and is good to share with loved ones who may be feeling lost...
