We rent the nation from the counterfeiters.
We rent everything.
We don't own any of it.
The average person goes through their lives never having owned shit except for like a
TV that's worth half price the second it gets home.
They die not even owning their houses.
The shit doesn't have a leader.
The shit is a system.
It's a cancer that runs by itself.
It is literal.
We are a giant organism.
Nothing works without trade.
Poverty.
Poverty is the state of existence.
What is the normal state of existence is absolute poverty.
Prosperity happens because you have good money and you have a community that trades.
Government is the opposite of that.
It is literally cancer.
The fiat system is cancer.
We have cancer and you cannot fix cancer.
You cannot like just get radiation every week.
You have to cut it out.
That's the only thing you can do.
And if you don't cut it out, you don't need cancer doesn't need a leader.
Cancer runs by itself.
It is literally can't be cancer of society.
We have cancer and we have to live with it.
Greetings and salutations my fellow plebs.
My name is Walker and this is the Bitcoin podcast.
The Bitcoin time chain is 864186 and the value of one Bitcoin is still one Bitcoin.
I'm going to call today's episode a random rant because that's exactly what it was.
Both Guy Swan and myself were fairly pissed off at the government's absolutely despicable
mismanagement of FEMA funds and we decided to do an impromptu live session streamed on
zap.stream which is a NoSTER only streaming platform.
Thanks to everyone on NoSTER who joined our live stream on zap.stream and zapped us during
our live stream today.
We really appreciate it.
If you're not on NoSTER, you probably should be because these kind of things might be happening
more and more often.
Guy and I get into a few different topics today during this random rant starting out
with the government not being able to fund FEMA anymore apparently even though they tax
us half to death, inflate our purchasing power away and instead of using it to help
our own citizens go and spend it on foreign wars we never agreed to enter.
But we also dig into parallel systems, health and the human body and what we do and don't
understand about it and a whole lot more.
Thanks to Guy for agreeing to jump on this random live stream with me today.
Make sure to hit up the show notes for Guy's links and if you're not already subscribed

Alright without further ado here is this random rant with Guy Swan.
We're totally live.
We're fucking live.
Alright let's see.
I just tried to update it.
Let me see if I share this now.
If...
Wow it's only like a second or two behind I was just listening to it.
It's not bad.
Okay.
I just got it.
There you go.
Fuck the state.
Let's be soft about it right?
Let's be fair.
Was that too harsh?
Did you think I went?
No I was saying that's us being...
Oh that's being soft.
Okay.
I was like oh damn.
Did I come out too hard on this one right from the start?
No.
That's about how I feel right now.
I should not be here.
I should not.
I do not have time for this at all.
But I'm just gonna be frustrated sitting over here anyway.
That's where I'm at too.
I've got like an hour where I definitely could and probably should be doing other things.
But I was like you know what?
So many other things.
There's like infinite things that can be done.
But it's like you know sometimes you just need to rant.
And this feels like one of those times.
And fuck I don't know.
You know there's just like occasionally an article or like in this...
It was this MyOrca's one on AP that just did it for me today.
But you know how there's just something that'll just like...
It shouldn't set you off but it just kind of does.
And it's just like that.
Like after a bunch...
Like Carl and I were just like dealing with some insurance bullshit today too.
And just like ranting to each other about just how fucked that all is.
And now we're gonna just go and pretend we don't have insurance and get something done
for like a fraction of the cost.
Oh that's what...
Oh I've been on that boat for a decade.
I can't believe I'm like...
I bought disaster insurance.
Like I bought the lowest...
Before Obamacare really kind of just screwed like just took that as not an option anymore.
Like all of those plans disappeared.
But I had like $80 or something.
Like it was like a $20,000 deductible or whatever.
And I had kind of enough Bitcoin at that time where I was like okay if a disaster strikes
I guess I'll make it.
You know I'll be fine.
And that's what I did and I just lied.
I just said I don't have insurance.
I don't have insurance.
And they give me like a $280 bill at like the doctor for something simple.
And I'll be like I don't have insurance.
And he'll be like oh oh okay.
Type type type type type.
$70.
Dude it's nuts.
Like it's fucking insane.
They were about to charge like $1,500 or something for this.
And then it's like we just went to a different place and we're like there's no insurance that
we have.
And it's like you know a few hundred bucks.
And it's like what the fuck is this fucking racket?
So it was that.
And then it was seeing this fucking article about how FEMA is literally somehow somehow
doesn't have enough money to take care of our own citizens.
They're literally out there dying right now.
And like I was looking up right before this.
I was like okay what's the yearly budget of FEMA?
And it looks like in 2023 the annual budget was $29.5 billion.
And you're like hmm okay that sounds like a big number.
But like in this fiat clown world it isn't.
Because then you look and it's like okay how much money has the US sent to Ukraine?
And it's like oh $175 billion has been approved for Ukraine.
So it's like.
How many people does FEMA have?
And how many disasters have they had to deal with this year?
So I watched a video just a little while ago of a guy who's been on the ground in I think
mostly the areas around Asheville.
And I think he said something about like kind of crossing over into Tennessee a little bit
which I don't know how he's even navigating through all that because there's so many roads.
Just so many roads just gone.
And he said he pulled like they have a whole bunch of people that they have pulled out
of different areas.
And they were trying to get him set up at a hotel and he went to the hotel and they
turned him away and they said we are full of FEMA federal employees.
And he's like you don't have any room because there are federal employees here?
He says not a soul that I know who is here helping.
I've been sleeping in my truck for five days.
Why are you in a hotel?
And it's the perfect example of the difference between people who actually give a shit and
people who have a job in a bureaucracy that they're not there because they care.
They're there because this is their racket.
They're there because this is how they make money by looking like they're involved and
they want to monopolize everything.
They're turning all of the churches who are trying to donate stuff.
Apparently they're turning people away.
And it's always under the pretense of like well the roads are dangerous and we don't
want to have to save you too.
It's like yeah but you just want to control the situation.
You just want to control the situation.
If you all went away what would be the net benefit?
More people would get stuff and there would be more people helping.
They've told them that they can't do drones.
There was a dude who said like I have like literally the top of the line thermal drone.
Like I could see people buried who are alive with my drone and they refused.
They told him that he could not send up his drone and that it was illegal for him to do
so.
And I was talking with the only just started.
I had no idea that the Bitcoin veterans they've raised like $13,000 in Bitcoin which is.
That's awesome.
Oh my God it's awesome.
And I can't even believe it.
The bottle didn't even know that I was doing like a little bit of a donation on Nostra
which randomly turned into a shit ton yesterday.
How a shout out to oh my God did you see that?
I saw that.
I didn't even raise it.
Freaking Bitcoin.
And then I saw somebody dropped a freaking whole coin.
Which is just like just not man.
That's what I love about Bitcoin.
It's like I actually want to do something.
I'm going to put my money where my fucking mouth is and actually do something that's
going to make a difference.
Like yeah.
And so that like turned into a lot and now I'm like it's funny.
I went from being like super excited to like a little bit panicked.
I was like okay this one is definitely behind the multi-sig.
And now I feel like I have to be like doubly careful about where it goes because it's like
one thing to have $2,000, have $500 of it not be the best way to spend $500.
The whole other thing to have $64,000 not go to the right place.
And that's what I can't tell.
There's some direct relief efforts from the county.
And my best friend lives there and he works with Henderson Search and Rescue.
So I at least do like I know that he's going to be a part of the organization if he felt
they were wasting time.
But I mean they're volunteers.
But at the same time you know he pointed me to Henderson County direct relief.
But I also just don't I mean I just distrust government so much.
I don't know.
I know.
I like I'm so afraid that stuff's just going to get stuck in some bureaucratic shit hole.
Like there's just going to be some black hole that just sucks up funds.
And I have seen counties.
I have seen county governments waste hundreds of thousands of dollars just like make it
disappear.
And not even counting I mean don't even start talking about a federal or state government.
So it's so hard to to know where to go.
Luckily Samaritan's Purse seems to be like really, really serious.
And I've heard nothing but good things from a lot of people.
And then the Bitcoin veterans guys which I missed the the Twitter spaces they did this
morning trying to break down their plan.
So I'm trying to catch up with them.
But literally I started the conversation with them last night and they are literally nice
Bitcoin veterans veterans who hate the state are the best people in the world because they're
like super regimented and like organized and they're like I'm getting this equipment.
This guy's got a freaking helicopter.
You know and they're like getting like a team together our base of operations is out of Samaritan's
Purse on this street and this church and and they're like we're going to go until the
authorities stop us and then we're going to figure out how to get around the authorities
and it's hilarious.
You know your point about shout out to Shane Hazel by the way.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm Gary.
There are a couple of people I'm forgetting names right now.
It's an incredible crew guys and again like individual citizens doing whatever they can
because they feel that they must because they have the ability to and like they will always
individual citizens voluntarily organizing are always going to be more effective and
efficient at actually getting aid where it is needed.
Yeah.
I was reading this post on X I'll throw it up on the screen just so folks can see it.
I was reading this yesterday.
I had this screen and you see this almost like.
You should be able to see.
Can you see this?
I'll just find your shit on master.
Oh yeah.
I'm not in the oh here we go.
Yeah.
So basically this guy Ryan tears going down this list of like if you're wondering why citizens
are being turned away coming to help in North Carolina and Tennessee.
Here my you know want to hear my experience as a private citizen doing this for almost
a decade and basically he was talking about okay he was able to like get in and out of
Asheville.
I like can't confirm the reasons but basically so it's a longer it's a longer post here but
he talks about his experience in the Florida Keys and trying to get relief down there and
basically that they were told by the federal boots in the ground like no we're not going
to allow you to do this like we're not you know they came in they're like hey we've got
shitloads of food and water and supplies and we've got you know we've got trucks we've
got boats like we got jet skis we'll just bring it all in and they're like no you can't
do that so they just said fuck it we're going to do it anyway they drove like 87.
That's the only way to do this 87 miles by water to their first stop and then they you
know they're talking to one of the homeowners there he's just like he stoked that they're
there obviously because they haven't had any supplies brought in by FEMA and he said so
it's because they want to monopolize it and if they get to take credit for everything
that happened and they look like the only ones that can be used as a source if they
just block everybody else then they're the only ones that get the money it's a scam it
is the money scam this is what he gets to so the TLDR is FEMA's got a command center
sent up they're not letting anyone bring in other donations they won't even accept your
donations why because the people donating are not on the preferred vendors list from the
government the preferred vendors list what the fuck does that matter so what it actually
come what it actually comes down to it it's just like war it's just like war it's just
a profiting suffering it's all about the money like preferred vendors are getting a big part
so any of the government funding that goes to the disaster relief efforts most of it
gets shut like shut shoveled out to these big and they and then Walmart or whoever gets
to write it off as like a donation even though it's like being paid for at whatever price
they said and like so this just like fucking pissed me off because I'm like you are actively
preventing fellow citizens from going and giving aid and and they've it's literally like and
not only going and doing it themselves but they won't even accept the fucking donations
they won't even say oh yeah okay we won't let you go into this area but please give
us these donations and we'll make sure they get there like no no they won't even fucking
take them because you're not a preferred vendor you little pleb who dares to fucking try and
help your fellow man like this just fucking pisses me off so much because it is just such
a blatant example of fucking corrupt bureaucracies corporatocracies failing to deliver anything
meaningful for the citizens of the country who actually pay the taxes and who are right
now suffering and fucking dying because we've got a bloated disorganized fucking government
it doesn't do jack shit to actually help them there is no way there is no way they could
give a shit about it because like the first three days are the absolutely most critical
time yeah and that's where they're doing the most damage that's where they're stopping
everybody from actually doing anything like the number if they if nobody from the federal
government it's funny like the I it's one thing to be mad about the fact that you're
giving them that they're taxing you like they're literally taxing you both of your legs and
then one of your nuts at the same time to provide you with a service that is completely
non-existent to the contrary they're they're they're literally done more damage than Hurricane
Helene across this country every year anyway but then on top of that is that when you actually
have people that after having their freaking legs taxed off that they're still they're still
literally rolling a fucking wheelchair across the state to drop off some goddamn bottles
of water that they get stopped by the government I just oh my god oh my fucking god it's unbelievable
like I just don't understand I don't understand how we put up with this shit like get the
fuck go go the fuck away like just leave just leave just leave us alone we will fix it North
Carolina cares a thousand times more than you do you don't give a shit you're in a
fucking hotel you're in a fucking hotel you don't care leave god damn it the great thing
about bitcoin is you don't need the fucking government's permission to be able to do whatever
you want with it and if you really want to be as sovereign as possible you need to make
sure you're holding your own private keys keeping your bitcoin in cold storage and I
recommend doing that in the bitbox oh to bitcoin only hardware wallet from bitbox swiss so
go to bitbox.swiss slash walker and use the promo code Walker for 5% off the fully open
source bitcoin only bitbox oh to or anything else in their store then get your bitcoin
off the exchange and into your own self-custody the bitbox oh to is truly easy as hell to
use whether you are brand new to bitcoin and it's your very first time setting up a hardware
wallet or you are a well-seasoned psychopath again it is bitcoin only and again it is
fully open source you can head to their github and verify that for yourself there's no need
to trust me when you go to bitbox.swiss slash walker and use the promo code Walker not only
do you get 5% off but you also help support this fucking podcast so thank you it is just
like it is I think it's during these times that it becomes so incredibly crystal clear
just how fucking perverse the incentives are within a giant bureaucratic state like you
you realize and I think the old I hope you know if if anything good is to come out of
all this fucking death and destruction and people being left literally left to fucking
die by the fucking government while they fund foreign fucking wars that we never fucking
agreed to enter the only good thing that could come out of this is maybe it wakes a few more
people up maybe it wakes just a couple more people up who say this is fucking insane you're
you're fucking just like preaching to me about all of these bullshit things that I don't care
about you're preaching to me about all this like whatever it might be insert fucking party
line talking point that you're supposed to really care about if you're a good citizen
and care about democracy and all of this and meanwhile you're just talk is democracy like
yeah like letting people fucking die because first of all you can't do your job like your
only job which is to do right by your citizens because they fucking pay the only reason that
you exist is a bloated bureaucratic fucking state is because people pay your fucking salaries
you fucking parasitic leech but you can't even do that but you decide to go one step
further and actually be destructive because being destructive means you are going to block
actual productive humans who are taking times away from their jobs and their families and
risking their own life and putting up their own money to go and try to deliver help and
you're blocking them too it's like you are fucked in both directions it's just insane
that this happens and like I don't know like I it you start to just feel like man fucking
let this system just burn down and crumble because whatever comes from the ashes is
got to be better than this yeah because this isn't working for anyone except a few fucking
leeches that suck the blood out of every fucking one else it's like it should make it should
make you fucking live it it should make you angry it should make you fucking disgusted
that we have gotten to a point where the government can prevent private citizens from helping
their fellow man it's illegal to feed the homeless it is fucking insane it's not illegal
to steal like $980 worth of shit from a store I just like it's done I don't know what you
do about it I don't know what you I know I don't know how you get here like it's it's
wild that I mean is this brainwashing is brainwashing on a mass scale I mean we're led to believe
I had this conversation the other day people talking about oh well inflation's good though
a little bit because you know if they spend the money then that all the person's gonna
go spend it on this and then they're gonna have salaries and all this stuff and all
I could think is like have you have you ever like have you ever really played that out
in your mind how stupid that fucking excuses and like how embarrassed like a grown a grown
human being an economist should feel for saying that stupid shit it's like you just described
what money does like it never doesn't do that like if I pay you and then you go spend a
thing and then they pay the salaries like it never does you just described what money
does it's always fucking true what you failed to recognize is the fact that money is usually
used for trade and then you are interrupting that and stealing and then money continues
to do what it does after you steal that's the only difference in the situation you haven't
changed anything you've just stolen from somebody else you just you just valuable trade valuable
trade valuable trade counterfeit valuable trade valuable trade valuable trade like that
the counterfeit is the only addition that's the only change to the whole situation is
that you just cheated in the middle of a situation that was actually working no inflation doesn't
help anybody in any way shape or form ever for the same rate that this for the same reason
that burning down some of your house isn't helpful and burning down a lot of your house
is harmful you just don't you don't want to burn down a house that's the opposite point
of a house existing just brainwashing brainwashing is because they've got an education system
that teaches us to just they teach us that we are them which is fucking bonkers is so
dumb like we're the state like I had somebody like the stuff the stuff about like the the
voting for Trump I posted some amazing it's amazing how many people like are so wrapped
up in the political thing that they're just as mad if with the suggestion of voting as
they are with the suggestion of not voting and and it's like but dude literally it doesn't
matter like if you believe that voting doesn't matter it's literally inconsequential either
way but so I posted about the Ross Ulbrich thing and I said this is the only this is
the only actionable or reasonable thing to care about I can't remember exactly how I
worded it but basically the idea was literally nothing else matters all the other policies
are nonsense ever you can't rely on anything the state is going to grow like this was the
idea of the post I guess all completely meaningless yet if there is a chance that Trump freeze
Ross Ulbrich that is actually a direct actionable could actually result in something good for
one single person thing and if you were thinking about voting this should be the only thing
to consider there should be nothing else on the table it's just whether or not that's
worth it and your vote probably doesn't matter because there's going to be a million a million
buffer of theft or fraud or whatever in the vote count but regardless if you want to that's
what you should consider and then the number of people like you support murder overseas
it's like what the like how did you get that from what I just said like did I say that
I just literally none of that other stuff matters because there's no way to make a difference
the state is going to grow period end of story but it was just as part funny part exasperation
of just the number of people were like I can't believe you fell for all this and we're like
fell for what did you like did you read do we need to have a reading comprehension test
no because I'm I'm at that point I made it too short I made it too short I needed like
a caviar is like understand I'm saying literally nothing else is going to make a difference
but everybody will just interpret it the way they want to anyway that's that's the thing
it's like I that's basically where I'm at to like there was no way I was going to vote
for Kamala I was maybe going to vote for RFK junior and I almost I would have registered
again and probably voted for RFK yeah that's that's where I was at but now it's like okay
that's you know he's going to be on the ballot in a couple states but like not not really
like you know he's so it's like okay well if I do vote and I live in Illinois so like
my vote really doesn't matter like you know it's basically like California voting in California
it's like okay like I'll just you know drop a drop a drop of water into the ocean here
and see if it changes color it won't but freeing Ross is to me like I truly hope the Trump
does that on on day one like he's he said it like there's a one percent chance yeah like
I it that's worth it right that's worth it but I'll say the same thing like it's so funny
people are like they're still even people who think that they are fucking like awake
you know like not woke but like awake yeah but you say stuff that's like like heaven forbid
I criticize something Trump says because people are like well I guess you're a fucking communist
Kamala supporter then and I'm like what no I hit him both stupid and that same thing
about about Kamala it's like oh well I guess you're just another you know another Trump
or then I'm like no no no I mean heaven forbid we have the ability to figure out that somebody
can be critical of both parties and talk shit about both of them because like you should
even if you're planning voting for one you should be critical of them you should if you
like somebody you should be especially critical so that you can make sure that you are checking
your own preconceived biases like that I am more critical of the people that I like gravitating
toward because I'm like what blind spot do I have that maybe I'm missing the people that
the people that I just I'm like you're a fucking moron it's like okay maybe I've got a blind
spot there maybe they're not a you know complete moron but probably are but like I don't know
it's all just it's all just so fucking stupid like it's all just so stupid and then you see
this and it's like man we are like nobody's gonna fix FEMA no neither one of them is gonna fix
it fix that shit and that's actually something that matters that's actually something that's
like on the ground matters all the time like every couple of months it matters yep and that's
not gonna be fixed Trump's not gonna fix that Kamala's not gonna fix that nobody's gonna fix that
shit it's gonna be a mess it's a giant bureaucratic racket and it's gonna stay that way you know like
going to I still lean I still argue it's really just about Ross whether or not I want to vote
and I feel like North Carolina will go Trump anyway so like would that even matter my vote
obviously doesn't matter in the grand scheme but it's like kind of like a it's more of a like a
declaration of like I'm a one issue voter you know so yeah just do that the only quote unquote
vote that I think makes any kind of measurable differences like sheriff yeah you know like
your sheriff and yeah and like that sort of thing um I've been really really meaning to be more
locally focused and locally involved uh because you can actually have like a direct effect in your
area um but uh on Trump like it's one of those things like just like you said everybody has
such horrible blinders on that if you like say one good thing about him you're simping for Trump or
Kamala yeah and if you criticize them you're simping for the other one it's like no I'm
literally just criticizing someone I didn't bring up the other person let's fucking you talking about
you know like it's like just the number of times that you could just think that if like you if you
had like this weird like false dichotomy in your mind it's just like you're just like man I hate
orange is like you fucking purple lover you know what what do you don't what where purple
wasn't even in this conversation where did you come from oh my god um uh on the on the just on
the trump just because I brought it up from the stupid post um is he's horrible he's horrible
on taxes and tariffs he is horrible on he's still he's still to this day is so so blind to what
his base is and to what the state of how people think about things that he still will bring up
the vaccine and brag about it oh it's like it is a like he did something good and he brags about
what he did with 2020 he is the one who put Fauci in his position who got him at the center of all
of this crap he is the one like he he failed on so many different things that he sort of he at
least didn't start any wars but he's not that if there is a if there's a difference between you
know like slapping a little bit of paint on something and like dumping a bucket of paint like
he's kind of the slap some paint on it when it comes to the war the war position probably
but it's still more paint probably um and uh but like I could give you a list of like a
hundred things that are just like this sucks this was ridiculous this was such a terrible
fucking decision this was a total failure um he threw he basically bought into a bunch of the
bullshit narratives against him to look good to like save face um and oh god I just the stupid
thumbs up thing just did it did it another one of those things that like just back to inflation
that like grinds my fucking gears is when Trump will be like we had no inflation during my time
we had no inflation no inflation zero it was all five inflation he was good inflation yeah good
inflation I'm like mother motherfucker like we can all look at the money supply like it fucking skyrocketed
during it and like yes there was a well an alleged global pandemic uh during that time so that that's
the other thing whenever I call that out and I'm like actually there was inflation during Trump there
was monetary inflation which tends to affect price inflation with a lag which is exactly what you
saw happen and I'm not and that doesn't mean I'm saying Biden also didn't like have shitty policies
I'm just look at the line look at the line and see if you can point out where either one of those
exist you can't it's just a it just it's just a straight up line man like quit pretending that
any of those make a difference on that ticket like it's inflation everywhere you get you're just
all you get are cycles you get credit cycles in the gradual increase of the price of everything
yeah this for for anyone and and thanks folks for uh for joining into this impromptu
fuck the state zap stream here with with guy and I guy I'm gonna my first zap dot stream I think
dude oh we we cherry pop today all right I love I did my first one literally like two days ago
and now now I've done one each day since so uh yeah I guess I'm I'm I'm addicted now uh but so this
if if you look at this graph okay so let's let's go okay first of all max it's like this this is
really what that all chart yeah yeah I actually I think I can hold on let's see uh but but but
format so that's right lock skill apply wait where do you see it third one down
there's all the line all the way to the right I think
yep there we go there we see so now that shit makes a difference like oh oh there's a blip
oh there's a blip somewhere like this is just insane and it's like here's here's here's during
trump and it went up like six trillion dollars yeah in that period and then we actually we went I mean
thank you Joe Biden just back to the mean to do that for going down a little bit and then we're
just gonna go right back and it's just gonna keep going up and up forever and the compound annual
growth rate of this m2 money supply is like 6.9 to 7% annually which is fucking nuts like that
it's also important to remember that during that so quote unquote so-called dip they changed how
they calculate this yes they did well they change the definition they changed the definition
m1 m1 calculation during covid but they they changed the m2 or they started reporting m2 less often
they it's into you see the parenthesis right there m2 sl m2 was not it's the sl whatever that is it's
a new it's a new metric it's changed a little bit I can't remember exactly what the details are I
spent 30 minutes before I was like this a waste of fucking time yeah they did something with
they added or like they took out save I forget they like they added savings to m1 and then they
took something out of m2 I also spent a little bit of time looking at it and then I was like well
money number go up you know but but it just like this kind of thing again just if you want to just
get at the futility of voting and and for people that give me crap for like there is no red there
is no blue there is the state and there is you I think it's important to clarify on that to back
to what you were saying about local elections those actually do matter what happens at your local
level and even your state level matters quite a bit more but what color the figurehead of our
country is does not really make that much of a difference in your day-to-day life they don't
really run it it runs itself who your sheriff is though who like your local city council like
that shit can actually make a difference in your day-to-day life for you month to get the
hell out of the way yep yeah but they can say we're not gonna go over the covid mandate or we're
not going to do mask mandates in our town or you know like we're not going to shut down restaurants
like fuck you like and makes a difference and the when it comes to like the local stuff like
or just thinking about like the president is that it's so funny how we so desperately want to
personify everything that we forget that this is all just about the system you know you know like
apple something happens with employees at apple or twitter or something and twitter had like
40 000 employees and my my framing is it was always jack dorsy did this look what jack dorsy did
look at this and all I could think was I tried to wrap my hand or head around what the hell 40 000
employees meant and you know I work with like four or five people on my team and which is difficult
that is it is that is difficult to work with multiple people just on any project I mean Jesus
three three person group projects in high school or a nightmare and and I uh I realized I was thinking
about it my hometown had a population of 10 000 people and I was just driving through my hometown
while I was musing on this thought and I was just looking around as like you know I have no idea what's
inside that house like there could literally be like a satanist cult that meets at that one house
every single there could be a basement under there with all kinds of cool old stuff they could be some
kind of like crazy like that that dude right there probably owns a gun from the civil war
that hasn't been touched and nobody even knows like the amount the sheer scope of things that can
happen and exist among 10 000 people I have no idea what goes on in my hometown like no clue and it's
my hometown you know I've lived there for a huge portion of my life I have no idea what's going on
that is 9 910 people that I know nothing about and 50 people I know a little bit about and who
probably have a huge pile of secrets that I don't know and like five people I know really really
well yeah a company with 40 000 people that dude doesn't know what's going on he's just taken the
blame yeah they don't have they don't have the slightest clue that thing runs by itself a government
a government that has 40 000 agencies with tens of thousands of people in every one of them
there's no president that could even name a list of 20 like off the top of their head
before it's probably takes them 10 seconds and then they're getting blamed for housing crisis
emergency aid agency did this awful corrupt thing and wasted a billion dollars and it's like president
did this dude president is clueless housing recovery aid corrupt agency runs by itself
these things run by themselves the FEMA racket with walmart or whoever their preferred buyer is
is going to work is going to keep working like that's still going to keep running but who's
heard who's even heard of biden heard from biden in a while we don't even have a president
the thing is a giant system that runs on a combination of theft and fraud
the system doesn't need people to direct it it wants to direct itself you don't need to tell
a thief where to steal from if you give the thief the option of stealing they're just going to go do it
that's what the system is and
doesn't matter who's in charge the only the only thing the best possible chance is
amelie sort of character who just comes in just starts deleting just whacking off the tree you know
know um and because you can't assess you can't restructure you can't you can't fix internally
it's literally just about stealing less and you just you just have to shut
shut down it's crazy you know people hate like a bundled cable company they're like uh i hate that
i gotta bundle it with my phone and my tv it's like i got i only want to watch five channels
but i gotta buy a hundred and then they're like oh government's great who would build the roads
and i'm like motherfucker they just bundled your health care your insurance your employment
your food stamps your they just bundled like a fifth of everything that half half actually it's
like 50 to 60 cent on every dollar goes through the bureaucratic system just in like the first
rounds not to mention the subsidies and the kickbacks and the rebies that are actually based on
debt that doesn't make any fucking sense that some corporate debt got a 1 loan that went into some
bc shit that got re refunded back into the corporate world and bloated the the fucking prices of all
the assets so that nobody actually owns anything and everybody owns it back to the owes it all back
to the bank it's and nobody even fucking knows why i guess the reason we've been gutted of our
ownership we rent the nation from the counterfeiters we rent everything we don't own any of it the
average person goes through their lives never having owned shit except for like a tv that's
worth half price the second it gets home they die not even owning their houses that shit doesn't
have a leader a shit is a system it's a cancer that runs by itself it is literal we are a giant
organism nothing works without trade like we cannot it poverty poverty is the state of existence
that is the normal state of existence is absolute poverty prosperity happens because you have good
money and you have a community that trades government is the opposite of that it is it is
literally cancer the fiat system is cancer we have cancer and you cannot fix cancer you cannot like
just get radiation every week you have to cut it out that's the only thing you can do and if you
don't cut it out you don't need cancer doesn't need a leader cancer runs by itself it is literally
can't be cancer of society we have cancer and we have to live with it
fucking amen it's dark but it's true the question becomes like you know we we talk about
bitcoin fixes this a lot but it's like it it's almost like this this host that we're in because
it is so fiat cancer ridden is like this one like it's it's metastasized everywhere like it's it's
in everything like you you can't even cut it out anymore because it is literally has gone through
every single part of this host and it's like this is where i i get back to blood cancer right
right it's just yeah it's flowing through everything it is just absolutely it is inseparable
from the system and so then it's like is the only option just to build in parallel like is the only
way to to to kill that cancer just to starve the host basically while we are building a new host
alongside a stronger host a host built that is that is completely resistant to that form of cancer
because you know bitcoin can't get the can't get the inflation cancer that is fiat right
like is that the only way is the only way to have that parallel system and yeah we have to do some
parts of our life in the existing cancer-ridden system and that fucking sucks and a lot of people
aren't going to make it out of that system either and that fucking sucks but like we have to save
ourselves before we can begin saving anyone else right you know it's like you're mask on first bingo
you know i don't know i mean yeah probably have you ever uh have you ever read and or heard of i
think i think it was somebody on nostre who recommended this i get mentioned in a bunch of
book threads who knew yeah shocking but i'm listening to you right now the global brain by
let me let me see if i can one one i don't think i've heard of this one hit search dug dug go search
this yeah i think peter russel does that sound right evolution of mass mind the awakening
well i think that one's a speculations on the evolution or howard bloom the global just global
brain the evolution of mass mind from the big bang to the 21st century by howard bloom yeah it was
the third one down um but uh it is really good um it's basically it's humbling it's humbling because
it makes you aware that our social systems are not unique and that how we interact and how we judge
decisions and shifts in things are not isolated to our social sphere these things actually exist
down at the bacterial level and that there are things that go on inside of bacterial colonies
colonies fungal colonies um all sorts of like cellular systems and like i once watched a watch
saw a um like i quote unquote like cut in half sell and it was a um what do you what do you call the
the magnified just like hyper magnified i can't remember the name of the machine that they
that specifically refers to um the level that they can see it at and it just took the highest
definition most detailed the brawledest image possible of the cell and it was the most it was
a single cell and you know you you look in a um science like a you know eighth grade science book
and a cell has like four parts right this was the most elaborate complex thing i had ever seen in my
life it looked like a like you sliced through the middle of a forest and you were just looking at
this infinite complexity and i was just thinking we have no fucking clue what goes on there like we
don't have the slightest clue what that thing does we have stupid abstractions like a map that says
here's a river here's a hill and here's a road that has no idea what's going on with the grass what
kind of soils there like the the infinite complexity between those three things and we put
you know three things on the map and it's the same thing we do everywhere we make these extremely naive
connections between like what's your cholesterol level therefore here's the here's the endless
number of things that this means and that what's going on in your body it's like dude you don't
know anything you know absolutely nothing and then they intervene and then everything goes
sideways nothing works out like they thought i can't tell you how many you know i have we
we have this bizarre culture of intervene with everything and i think it just comes from an
overwhelming arrogance that we can deduce we can break down all of this infinite complexity into
like left and right black and white it's just this or that oh you have it we're just going to focus
on this one metric there are literally a million other unfactored like we don't even know like
just in the last like 10 15 years we're realizing how much gut biome controls us yeah and it's not
even part of the discussion not even part of the discussion and there is a hierarchy of complexity
just in your gut biome like the reason that your body craves stuff when you stop eating it is because
the bacteria releases chemicals that force you to crave it it's literally controlling your craving
so that it can survive and then it makes you sick when the bacteria dies because the dying of the
bacteria so so hyper exaggerates that it encourages you to go eat that thing one more time so that
the colony can survive that's bonkers and that's not even been part of the discussion no until very
very recently we have no idea what is going on there is so much complexity and we so arrogantly
believe we can control it all and it leads us to intervene at a massive scale and it just calls it
it just takes one problem and turns it into two and we do it over and over and over again
the the global brain book is fascinating because it shows that there are even generational shifts
it basically it gives up it doesn't really explain it because it can't explain it it only states
what we know about why it is that simple genetic and reproductive evolution doesn't explain everything
and seriously doesn't explain the Cambrian explosion but like a great example is and that
so many different cellular systems bacterial systems just organisms in life in general just
does so so so much communication that we don't recognize and our our electronic networks are
just a single abstraction of something that we've been doing since bacteria like like at every
single level you can see these kind of social behaviors you can even see the behaviors and
kind of this like weird suicidal habit or or a trend of things breaking off by themselves to go die
when they become unhealthy for the group and it's not even because of like some let me sustain my
genes it's literally because the system itself is designed to react to the way things behave
and and the you know he talks about there was a there's a just the last chapter he had like a
really fascinating conversation about bees and how like the bees that come back with the most energy
and when everybody still ignores them when they're like no there's like great food in this direction
like you can watch you can watch the hive respond to him saying guys no seriously you should go this
way and they actually like the way that they vibrate actually tells them which direction that
the food is in and then literally the one who that persists the longest like that they will
straight up ignore them like a weird social system and it's like ah he's a weirdo don't listen to him
and then he just like no i'm fucking telling you it's over here motherfuckers it is i swear to god
and the fact that he persists and keeps telling them the truth about where it is will slowly
convince and spread out that message through the entire hive until they go and find it and then it
changes the hierarchy of the social system inside the hive and this exists at so many different
layers and like all the way down to a cellular level the these sorts of conversations are happening
um and it makes it it puts everything in a very different perspective when you start seeing
communication breakdown because that's what i think we have is we fiat is a failure of communication
fiat is an extension of a system that was doing a great job at the ability to communicate
economic value the weight of the things that cost in our lives and our relationship to them
and our relationship to each other in respect to them like what does an orange mean to me
versus what does an apple mean to you that's an impossible problem without a communication mechanism
that can carry the weight from one person to the next person and it requires free trade and it
requires a record keeping system that cannot be treated so that trade is the only thing
voluntary trade where someone literally says i give up my apple to get the orange that weight
is actually carried from thing to thing through this this medium just like resources are carried
with blood through a organism and literally we have blood cancer our our thing to transmit that
weight is leaking and it is not working and it is feeding this system this just consuming apples
and oranges as fast as it can go and we have no way to regulate how much it is eating us
and it's so crazy to see it from the perspective of like you can see this behavior in bacteria
like it is literally a disease and the only solution is to fix the system
and that's why with you know going back to the voting thing is why it doesn't matter you can't
you can't vote for blood cancer to be better you have to build a parallel system and it's also why
i specifically brought up that ross olbrich is the only reason to even consider participating in it
because maybe one cell deserves to not die you know what i mean
and but you but you just you have to fix this you have to fix the communication layer
you have to fix what what is going on that's why i could never justify
exerting too much energy in the political realm even if it's my anger even if it makes me so
fucking angry um but i try i try not to because it is a lost cause you know maybe maybe there's
maybe there's something to the fact that you know white blood cells and this is something
that we didn't even know for a long time is that cancer cells actually pop up all the time
have you have you heard this yeah i read a um pretty incredible details i actually pulled
from like a number of different studies and research groups um but basically this wild thing that
like you actually get cancer all the time but your immune system stops it like white blood cells are
shutting it down all the time and and it's why specifically that if you heal yourself
it's why so many people there are just stories on top of stories uh of people changing their diet
and cancer going away um like i watched a there's a documentary with a person who
they said this was their wake-up moment with the medical system in this country is um
they were getting they basically got diagnosed with like stage four pancreas cancer um and it was
just a they were told in not so uncertain terms to you should be as comfortable as you would like
and they said no no i'm not i'm not just rolling over on this like there has to be a second opinion
and so they went looking for stuff and they basically went carnivore they they ended up
just finding all of this they did a whole bunch of crazy stuff but i i highly suspect that it
was really about the diet um they cleaned up so much just disgusting crap that they were eating
like they just realized like none of this is even food what have i been doing to myself um and they
went like crazy crazy clean crazy just real food on the plate and uh went back they they were given
like a couple of months and they went back like six months for a checkup and the cancer was like
like the or the tumor was like 30 smaller and it was not metastasized anymore and the doctors are
just like oh well okay whatever and he was like do you not want to know what i did are you not
interested how does this not how does this not spark the slightest curiosity you told me i was
going to die and there was nothing we could do this doesn't shock you a little bit and they were just
like well you you should just go now you can do whatever you want yeah crazy you're not going
to investigate this yeah we're not gonna we're not gonna divert some of the hundred million dollars
this year that you got donated to cure cancer you're not gonna divert a little bit of that to
just asking what i've been doing for the last six months and and they're just like i just could not
believe i could not believe that nobody was interested nobody cared because i just didn't do
what they said i should have done and incentives incentives everywhere man a slight backtrack
but you know when you were talking about the bees uh and that you know those the the scavenger
you know worker bees coming back in and and needing to vibrate the most like at the highest
frequency in order to get the attention of others because they had really incredible
information right they had information about where people were going to get the most food
it reminds me of bit coiners in a in a way it's like we're trying to not gonna shut up i swear to
god like we've got the truth like we've got this this abundant resource or this uh scarce money
but that leads to abundance over here we're trying to tell people about it we're trying to like we
like we won't shut up about it but it's like people have to be ready to listen and you have to
vibrate at a higher frequency than all the other distractions that just inundate them yeah and on
the cancer side have you seen the stuff with like uh ivermectin like completely changing people's
cancer prognosis that's like a rabbit hole i just started going down i've i've been it's a it's another
rabbit hole and it's funny is that it's um it's specifically it's amazing how many when you start
going down a lot of these rabbit holes how many of these actually have like a cohesive thread
underneath them that connect to so many of these different things ivermectin is one of
the most powerful anti-parasitics we have it goes back to the whole gut biome thing which suggests
that the breakdown of our ability of our immune system to fight cancer and the presence of cancer
cancer in the metabolic metabolic destruction of cellular function could very well be not only
is it again this is why diet seems there's so many anecdotal so much anecdotal evidence that
diet has a massive massive effect on this is because it's feeding bacterial colonies and parasitic
systems in our body that we have been permanently they have been permanently in our bodies and
ivermectin clears it out and i there have been wild stories of people's whole demeanor like
things like literally changing because they took ivermectin for a week and i literally think it's
because it's killing something that has had an enormous effect on their chemical imbalances and
hormonal imbalances in their body because it's literally like we we look at these things of
like you know this fungus or this bacteria growing inside of this animal that like you know forces an
ant to go up to the to the top of a thing and like reach up and then it literally causes a bird or
another animal to come down and eat it which then it grows in the poop of that animal and it falls
again and then it persists in this bizarre system of manipulating everybody's behavior
and that is literally its ecosystem and it's like oh well that could never happen to us
it's like bitch have you ever been hangry you know like tell me you've never been hangry like
absolutely it could do that to us our chemicals guide do so much i was in a bad mood yesterday
and i was an asshole to people on nostre you know like it at what thousand percent controls us it
a thousand percent manipulates us the question is whether you believe there are things that affect
those chemical imbalances and i believe there is no chemical balance in any organism anywhere
that doesn't have something affected by it yeah i i don't not only do i not think that there's a
discussion to be had it's like one of those things like are there aliens it's like there's just there's
going to be life out there like whatever it is it's just it's just the scope of it like i think
it's a question of whether or not we can see it so it's a it's a negative as the truth or as the
default rather than the positive i think we everything that we do like if you eat something it
affects is our chemical imbalance it has bacteria in it that's going to matter that's going to
matter it's a question of do we understand it and we don't going back to cutting a cell in half and
looking at the infinite complexity in it we have no idea we have no idea and if we ever pinpoint
one thing that appears to have this effect it's still not even going to be a ghost of a half of
a hundredth of a one percent of the whole story that's happening it's just going to be kind of like
one tiny dot or one little puzzle piece that we have connected together and every single time we
learn or understand how to how to gather or see one new piece of information 10 new truths that we
cannot understand are suddenly possible to obtain in other words what i mean by that is that when
our technology expands our ability to see the complexity that we then can see expands at an
exponential rate so we will always and forever only know a tiny portion of everything and the more
we know the smaller the portion we understand of everything it will grow in complexity at an infinite
scale as we get infinitely better at understanding it because every new layer comes with its own
infinite and its own exponential multiple of complexity i truly believe that i believe that
the smarter we get the dumber we are in the scope of the entire thing in a relative sense
yeah basically yeah now i i i agree and you know this this is all just because i want to be conscious
of your time and i've got a i've got a hard stop here in a couple minutes too but i want to bring
this i have a hard stop at five minutes before we started this yes hey i'm glad i'm glad we did this
man i i don't know about you but i need and caught up and are you gonna go down i'm i'm now we can't
go this year we're gonna go to the plan b forum though that they're doing in el salvador in january
so we'll be we'll be the don't think i'll be there i'm missing one plan b making it to another one
okay yeah i know i i want to go back to lugano that's a fucking participation award yeah
no but what i was going to say is like all of this like we started with the state and then started
talking about like the complexity of the human body and also the the inability of of many doctors
who are even experts in this area to be able to actually assess and treat the problems in this
system right and then you think about doctors you compare them as analogous to economists right
and the economy and the economy is this body that like leave it alone and give it wholesome inputs
and it has good outputs yeah like but it works by itself yeah like you don't have to fuck with it
and you don't have to tell life how to do stuff no it just life literally works life is is life is
the manifestation of the system of sustainability that exists naturally in the universe you do not
have to control it you do not have to control it in fact as soon as you try to control it
all you do is manifest the one thing about life they wants to kill itself yeah it's arrogance it's
arrogance to think that it can do that we can do it better than nature can what you have to do is
just get the pieces like good inputs good inputs just stop manipulating stuff it's all about
communication get the fuck out of the way right get out of the way get out of the hotel yeah back
to our starting point get like hey state like just just stand the fuck back and like let let good
people who are putting in good inputs try to do what they want to do which is help other people
and man I'm glad I'm glad we got a chance to to rant a little bit I need you know heart rate has
come down a little bit you know I'm settling back in but all right let's you know you know guy
let's let's make this a thing whenever either one of us gets real real pissed off just on that just
on zaptot stream though YouTube doesn't get this shit you know x doesn't get this shit no no no
just just us here but man this was uh I needed this I'm glad we did this let's do it again sometime
yeah for sure all right man I'm gonna cut this stream now thanks to everybody who joined we
appreciate you guys hopefully you enjoyed enjoyed the rants and uh feel a little bit better now too
