I did turn off notifications. All right, we're jumping 72 00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:51,800 over to Orion here. This is my browser that I'm using. Okay, there's my notifications on Noster. 73 00:04:52,620 --> 00:04:58,080 And here is, okay, so here's what I did. I wanted to talk about The Sovereign Individual. I read it 74 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:07,599 many years ago. It is a thick book. It is long. It is dense. So there was, there's a lot to 75 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,360 remember a lot of concepts that kind of blew my mind in some ways. Other ways it was like, wow, 76 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:18,280 that really makes sense. And then other ways I've started to see things just kind of start to come 77 00:05:18,290 --> 00:05:24,540 to pass, which is pretty crazy. So if you've read it and you want to chime in, feel free to chime in 78 00:05:24,870 --> 00:05:32,199 and let's have this discussion together. I'm not super thrilled with how this screen sharing looks 79 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:38,920 with with me uh bear with me as i go back to the restream inception here and change this 80 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,880 let me stop sharing my oh i that's right whatever you're all part of the game here 81 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:53,520 there we go all right let's customize this let's make that smaller 82 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:04,500 and let's do this one okay excuse me for all that there we go you at least get a better 83 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,080 view now you see a little bit more of the screen and less of me 84 00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:15,600 so let's first talk about the american revolution and some of the concepts that underpinned it i got 85 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,600 this really cool um message yesterday when i posted i was gonna be talking about this from 86 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,900 trivium on noster and trivium had posted this right before i mentioned i was going to be 87 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,460 be talking about this. A lot of times we talk about the American Revolution being about taxes 88 00:06:31,060 --> 00:06:36,400 and being about the citizens feeling like they were being oppressed by some foreign government 89 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,900 that was now living across the ocean, didn't understand their needs, didn't understand what 90 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:47,200 the life that they wanted to live. And while all of that is true, Trivium writes up here that says 91 00:06:47,380 --> 00:06:54,099 maybe it was more about the money. So not so much the taxes, but the money itself. So here's what 92 00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:58,640 they say taxes did not spark the American Revolution broken money did and yes Bitcoin 93 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:04,060 could have fixed it the currency act of 1764 the currency act prohibited the American colonies from 94 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,120 issuing their own money requiring all transactions to use gold silver or British currency I'm not 95 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,860 going to read this word for word but one ended up happening is that there wasn't enough gold 96 00:07:13,020 --> 00:07:17,160 silver or British currency to go around in the American colonies so they were basically told 97 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:23,120 you must use these as the currencies you can't print your own stuff you can't innovate and do 98 00:07:23,100 --> 00:07:29,660 your own thing. But then they didn't have that currency. So they were kind of forced to rely on 99 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,500 the British colonies even more to get access to that currency. And it became just a really 100 00:07:34,620 --> 00:07:40,980 difficult situation for them. So Benjamin Franklin, the refusal of King George to allow the colonies 101 00:07:41,020 --> 00:07:46,020 to operate an honest money system, which freed the ordinary man from the clutches of the money 102 00:07:46,180 --> 00:07:53,260 manipulators was probably the prime cause of the revolution. So he was living during that time. He 103 00:07:53,280 --> 00:08:00,000 was helping to push that revolution. So I would listen to him to say this might have been one of 104 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:06,880 the main causes of it because he was right there in the thick of it. Okay. You've also probably 105 00:08:07,020 --> 00:08:19,120 heard of this concept of the fourth turning, right? The fourth turning is a concept, really, 106 00:08:19,260 --> 00:08:23,200 it's multiple turnings, right? There's this first, second, third, and fourth. And it talks about 107 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,680 periods in human history where you have these different phases that society goes through. 108 00:08:28,060 --> 00:08:34,099 We as humans are all these physical, biological creatures that have existed for thousands and 109 00:08:34,099 --> 00:08:42,039 thousands of years. We've evolved over time, but the monkey brain inside of us and the physical 110 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:49,360 conditions that we have cause there to be patterns that happen throughout time. So the technology 111 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:56,320 changes, the atmosphere around us maybe changes a little bit, where we're living changes, but 112 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:04,640 some of the deep rooted instincts of humans stay the same. And that is why they say history doesn't 113 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:10,520 repeat, but it often rhymes. That's because we, we're all still kind of the same physical 114 00:09:10,790 --> 00:09:15,920 individuals that we were before. So I'm going to pull up something that I, uh, I put into Maple. 115 00:09:15,970 --> 00:09:19,820 I have a couple of different Maple accounts. Um, so I'm going to read from a different one here. 116 00:09:20,300 --> 00:09:23,840 I don't want to pull up on the screen because switching is just too difficult right now, 117 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:30,400 But I asked it to kind of talk about like the fourth turning with regards to the American Revolution. 118 00:09:31,430 --> 00:09:32,820 So let's go pull that up. 119 00:09:36,839 --> 00:09:42,140 Because the American Revolution, some say, was actually a fourth turning in and of itself. 120 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,760 Or it might have been the first turning. 121 00:09:47,339 --> 00:09:49,100 But I know I have it here. 122 00:09:49,850 --> 00:09:50,620 Please bear with me. 123 00:09:56,999 --> 00:10:03,840 great maybe it was actually on this one my bad let's see and my microphone i'm all sorts of 124 00:10:03,850 --> 00:10:08,760 out of sort here okay well i'm just going to preface it then and paraphrase it because i 125 00:10:08,780 --> 00:10:16,819 can't find it now but what it was is the fourth turning is this moment where there is um people 126 00:10:16,820 --> 00:10:23,480 are just kind of at wit's end. Society is on the brink of crumble. There is massive division going 127 00:10:23,740 --> 00:10:35,340 on. Does it sound familiar to you? People are divided and they might not know why they're 128 00:10:35,420 --> 00:10:42,100 divided, but they are. And so they can sense that something is wrong and there is a need for some 129 00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:52,120 kind of revolution. And then it is when the people revolt and rebuild society in a better form that 130 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,760 we enter into the first turning, which is where there is this collectivism and people come 131 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:03,980 together and there's patriotism, not in the sense of a specific country, but there is a sense of 132 00:11:04,190 --> 00:11:09,460 the group because they've worked so hard and are starting on a new foot together, right? 133 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,100 And this describes the American Revolution, right? 134 00:11:13,210 --> 00:11:15,360 They were at this breaking point where there was division. 135 00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:21,500 I can't imagine what it was like to actually live in the 1700s in the British colonies 136 00:11:22,010 --> 00:11:22,420 in America. 137 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,900 Because when I think about it, we love to romanticize it a bit, right? 138 00:11:27,030 --> 00:11:32,360 We think, oh, they were these patriots who got together and said, we don't want to live 139 00:11:32,540 --> 00:11:34,600 under the boot of the British government anymore. 140 00:11:35,340 --> 00:11:36,380 They're taxing us too much. 141 00:11:36,620 --> 00:11:37,640 Life is too difficult. 142 00:11:38,220 --> 00:11:42,980 um we have all this beautiful land why do they not let us do our own thing but you really think 143 00:11:43,070 --> 00:11:49,660 about it and this was not the majority of the people who felt this way it was the minority of 144 00:11:49,660 --> 00:11:55,160 the people at least in the beginning right i don't know the actual percentages but it was not 145 00:11:56,140 --> 00:12:02,480 it wasn't like you just showed up in the american colonies and everyone is like hey uh you know are 146 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:07,459 you ready for you ready for the freedom war that we're about to have like make sure you join the 147 00:12:07,420 --> 00:12:13,960 stream we're all gonna be celebrating freedom here in 17 1776 it's gonna be dope that's not 148 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:21,040 how it worked it was um family members and friends who maybe there was one person in the family that 149 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:26,540 was like hey i kind of think this freedom thing might be the best thing for us whereas the other 150 00:12:27,180 --> 00:12:33,500 seven members in their family were like life is decent why do you want to rock the boat i know 151 00:12:33,500 --> 00:12:42,240 that we left oppression and sailed over here, but we're good. Life is fine. It's really not that bad 152 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:47,260 under the British rule. Yeah, we pay some taxes. These are the kinds of conversations they have. 153 00:12:47,540 --> 00:12:51,520 There were also people who were born in the colonies, and so they didn't experience the 154 00:12:52,839 --> 00:12:57,300 religious oppression and other things that they suffered in Europe to come here. 155 00:12:59,740 --> 00:13:05,440 I just had to think it was a very difficult time to say, I want revolution. 156 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,160 Not to mention that there were spies all over the place. 157 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:13,320 And so if you talked too openly about American Revolution, you might be disappeared. 158 00:13:13,740 --> 00:13:17,860 You might be captured and tortured and other things, right? 159 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,180 There are all sorts of stuff that could happen. 160 00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:24,320 You know, a nice farm you got there and be ashamed if something set fire to it, like 161 00:13:24,340 --> 00:13:24,880 that kind of stuff. 162 00:13:26,100 --> 00:13:27,280 Probably was not an easy time to live. 163 00:13:28,460 --> 00:13:30,940 Not to mention there was like disease going around. 164 00:13:31,250 --> 00:13:34,720 And if you wanted to travel back to Europe to get help from the French or something, 165 00:13:34,790 --> 00:13:37,480 you had to make this treacherous voyage over months. 166 00:13:38,250 --> 00:13:40,960 And then letters took forever to get back and forth. 167 00:13:41,130 --> 00:13:43,580 And then when you wanted to come back, like another treacherous voyage, 168 00:13:44,630 --> 00:13:49,420 there was all sorts of possibilities for death, despair along the way. 169 00:13:50,030 --> 00:13:51,160 It wasn't an easy time to live. 170 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:52,420 Okay. 171 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:59,000 But the concepts that they discussed, I feel like are applicable now. 172 00:13:59,740 --> 00:14:02,460 So a lot of people think that we are living in the fourth turning. 173 00:14:03,060 --> 00:14:08,820 And that's where we usher in the sovereign individual because this book was written in 1997. 174 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,220 And a lot of the concepts that they discussed, we are seeing happen today. 175 00:14:15,060 --> 00:14:20,320 So the main concept of this book, the main thesis here discuss how the technical, it 176 00:14:20,700 --> 00:14:25,340 discusses how technical, technological revolutions, particularly in communication and computation 177 00:14:25,740 --> 00:14:28,980 are leading to a shift from nation state power to individual sovereignty. 178 00:14:29,630 --> 00:14:33,380 So obviously the name of the book is the sovereign individual, but it is this concept that we 179 00:14:33,380 --> 00:14:40,740 have grown up living in nations and we, we've grown up thinking, all right, well, these 180 00:14:40,900 --> 00:14:41,880 nations are going to take care of us. 181 00:14:41,890 --> 00:14:42,720 They're going to build the roads. 182 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,480 They're going to have the law enforcement. 183 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,400 They're going to have the fire department. 184 00:14:46,820 --> 00:14:47,560 I'm going to pay my taxes. 185 00:14:48,060 --> 00:14:49,540 They're going to protect me, right? 186 00:14:49,620 --> 00:14:53,960 And that's worked well for a lot of people, right? 187 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,520 There are many countries around the world where that has not worked well, 188 00:14:59,839 --> 00:15:03,380 where powerful governments, totalitarian governments have come in, 189 00:15:03,380 --> 00:15:06,260 and dictators have come in, malicious dictators, 190 00:15:06,660 --> 00:15:10,140 and have taken control and exerted their power and authority over people, 191 00:15:10,660 --> 00:15:11,140 over the citizens. 192 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:17,620 citizens and it has not turned out well for the ordinary person right for the 193 00:15:17,660 --> 00:15:23,020 individual so this concept of nation-states believe it or not is not 194 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:29,920 something that has existed throughout time if you look back at feudal Europe 195 00:15:30,140 --> 00:15:35,680 for example you have these fiefdoms and you had these lords who who had their 196 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,120 domain but then they were always fighting with each other and there were 197 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:45,800 maybe, you know, people above them that were kind of managing multiple fiefdoms. But it wasn't this 198 00:15:45,940 --> 00:15:53,180 concept of, I belong to this country. We're all citizens together. I'm going to salute a flag. 199 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:58,640 I'm going to say a pledge of allegiance, all that stuff. That's all very modern concepts in the 200 00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:04,240 timeline of the history of the world. Some say that this concept of turnings, first, second, 201 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:11,040 third, fourth turning, that gunpowder was one of these turnings where you saw the rise of gunpowder, 202 00:16:11,180 --> 00:16:16,960 you saw the rise of the printing press. Both of them are technologies that completely changed 203 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:24,360 the world forever. And so these fiefdoms went away, this feudal system went away because now 204 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:31,159 individual citizens were empowered with knowledge and they were empowered with the technology of 205 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:41,880 guns and were able to create a new system. The word is escaping me, but they were able to build 206 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:47,640 a new system and overthrow the system that they had been living in. And the balance of power 207 00:16:48,260 --> 00:16:55,320 changed forever. So, Sovereign Individual talks about the client of nation states and how 208 00:16:55,400 --> 00:17:02,120 technology is going to allow people to live where they want to and really shop around for the 209 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:07,620 jurisdiction that they want to live in. If you are living in a place that is taxing you unnecessarily 210 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,560 in your mind, and you're not getting the value for those taxes that you feel that you should, 211 00:17:13,350 --> 00:17:21,439 then you can simply move. And that's a basic premise. Then the rise of the sovereign individual 212 00:17:21,439 --> 00:17:25,240 empowerment through direct peer-to-peer interactions without intermediaries. Yes, 213 00:17:25,370 --> 00:17:30,080 that is true. So this book, again, was written in 1997, just as the internet was really 214 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:38,260 starting to become a thing that mainstream users were thinking about, right? Remember, 215 00:17:38,910 --> 00:17:44,440 this is before the dot-com boom era of the late 90s. This was just on the precipice of that. 216 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,819 So if you think back to a lot of the memes we like to pass around on internet, you have that 217 00:17:49,820 --> 00:17:56,340 that funny video from what is the today show or good day America, one of these shows where 218 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,940 they were trying to figure out what email was, right? And it's just like, like this totally 219 00:18:01,100 --> 00:18:06,000 antiquated video now where they're like, what is that symbol? You know, it's the at sign in 220 00:18:06,230 --> 00:18:11,980 an email address, please explain the internet to me, right? They, they had no idea. This is when 221 00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:16,460 this book was written, right? And they were predicting that in the future, we are going to 222 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:23,540 live in a time where people can access information, this new information age, where they can have 223 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:28,700 access no matter where they live in the world, the body of knowledge, and then they can actually 224 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,040 transact with each other. So they can do work for somebody else in another jurisdiction somewhere 225 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:39,360 around the world and get paid for it. And that's the third major technological enabler here. 226 00:18:40,180 --> 00:18:44,180 There's really three, the internet, encryption, which is massive, and the digital money. 227 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,880 So they predicted, effectively, they predicted Bitcoin. 228 00:18:48,890 --> 00:18:53,960 They described Bitcoin, but without knowing the name and without knowing the specific 229 00:18:54,810 --> 00:18:55,640 implementation details. 230 00:18:56,350 --> 00:19:01,960 Now, you could say this is prophecy, or you could just say Satoshi and others like Adam 231 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:07,780 Bach, like David Chom, like others who worked on these systems, they likely read the sovereign 232 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:08,100 individual. 233 00:19:08,370 --> 00:19:11,280 They likely were having a lot of similar discussions. 234 00:19:11,540 --> 00:19:14,740 They probably chatted in circles with the authors. 235 00:19:15,300 --> 00:19:19,220 And so these concepts were being discussed among the cypherpunks. 236 00:19:19,940 --> 00:19:23,880 So it predicted Bitcoin, but it wasn't necessarily a prophecy. 237 00:19:24,340 --> 00:19:31,440 It's likely that these builders were reading these works of literature and seeing the same 238 00:19:31,700 --> 00:19:34,100 future and building the future that they wanted to see. 239 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,540 And that's one of the tropes that we toss around a lot here is be the future, build 240 00:19:39,540 --> 00:19:40,400 the future you want to see. 241 00:19:41,220 --> 00:19:42,880 and be the change you want to see in the world. 242 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,040 So how long am I going here? 243 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,980 I think we're already pretty far here into our stream. 244 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:52,540 We're going to keep going though. 245 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:54,920 There are so many good quotes in this book. 246 00:19:55,180 --> 00:19:56,940 When I read the book, I actually listened to it. 247 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,760 I want to go back and read the actual physical book now 248 00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:00,780 so I can highlight it more. 249 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,740 I did not take any notes when I read it 250 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,360 because I was listening as I drove around 251 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,060 or did yard work, that kind of stuff. 252 00:20:09,700 --> 00:20:13,880 We already talked about the printing press. Let's see what other things Maple gave us here. 253 00:20:15,220 --> 00:20:19,460 Empowerment. Discuss how these technologies allow individuals to bypass centralized systems, 254 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,180 fostering independence, and then the tension between freedom and control. Address how 255 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,400 governments might respond to maintain control, leading the balance between individual liberty 256 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,660 and oversight. Okay, let's talk about both of those. So we've been talking about technology. 257 00:20:31,740 --> 00:20:39,680 If you think about, I have a personal experience with this. So I live in the United States. That's 258 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:44,520 in Austin my whole life. I used to live somewhere else and I was working in that place and I was 259 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:51,060 working in an office where I had to go into the office every day. But then I decided, we decided 260 00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:55,980 that we wanted to move somewhere else. Where we were living at the time, the weather conditions 261 00:20:56,700 --> 00:21:02,560 and the just some of the conditions, the environmental conditions there just weren't really 262 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:09,660 great for us. We didn't really enjoy, it wasn't the friendships we had. We really loved the 263 00:21:09,660 --> 00:21:14,860 circle we had, but it was really the physical aspects of living there that we didn't enjoy. 264 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:22,280 And so we decided to move. And we simply just picked up. I got a job working remotely for a 265 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:27,960 company, and we just picked the place we wanted to go to. And this concept was really hard for a 266 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:32,960 lot of people to grasp because they would ask, why are you moving to Austin? What company is 267 00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:38,440 taking you there? What job opportunity is there for you? And they were almost slightly insulted 268 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,460 when we said, oh, there is no job opportunity. 269 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,320 I'm actually working remotely for a company that's based here 270 00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:47,440 where we're leaving, where we're moving away from. 271 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,040 It was simply, we just wanted a change of scenery. 272 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,080 Some people were like, that's totally cool. 273 00:21:53,220 --> 00:21:55,400 And we've met a lot of people here now who did the same thing. 274 00:21:55,500 --> 00:21:56,860 They just moved because they wanted to. 275 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:02,520 Austin has this really great social vibe to it 276 00:22:02,580 --> 00:22:04,200 where a lot of people who are freedom oriented 277 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,700 just wanted to move away from where they were. 278 00:22:07,020 --> 00:22:15,080 And we were not being like oppressed from a freedom standpoint where we're really unless you want to say mother nature was oppressed. 279 00:22:17,220 --> 00:22:23,300 We found a social group here of people who made the same nomadic journey that we did. 280 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,960 But we didn't have to because we were in the United States. 281 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,140 We didn't have to like file any special paperwork. 282 00:22:29,340 --> 00:22:30,520 We didn't have to get a special passport. 283 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,220 We didn't have to do anything crazy. 284 00:22:33,380 --> 00:22:35,500 We simply just upped and moved. 285 00:22:36,060 --> 00:22:36,180 Right. 286 00:22:36,220 --> 00:22:43,140 Right. The book, The Sovereign Individual, is trying to describe that concept, but on a global 287 00:22:43,370 --> 00:22:48,880 level, that countries will begin to compete with each other. Individuals will be able to shop 288 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:54,280 around. So countries are, they predict that countries will start to change their tax laws, 289 00:22:54,800 --> 00:23:04,159 change their citizenship laws, change their passport laws to start to encourage individuals 290 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,960 to come domicile with them 291 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,880 or to get multiple citizenships around the world. 292 00:23:10,580 --> 00:23:12,280 And this is happening today. 293 00:23:12,580 --> 00:23:15,260 You can go get citizenship with multiple countries 294 00:23:15,420 --> 00:23:15,980 if you want to. 295 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,420 You can get residences in multiple countries 296 00:23:19,660 --> 00:23:20,400 or you can just pick one. 297 00:23:20,540 --> 00:23:21,180 You can up and move. 298 00:23:22,420 --> 00:23:25,760 But there is an analogy that I heard. 299 00:23:25,980 --> 00:23:28,460 I watched a bunch of YouTube videos about the book 300 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:29,760 just to kind of refresh my memory. 301 00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:33,540 And one guy used the concept of cows. 302 00:23:34,660 --> 00:23:39,980 where you're a cow on a farm and the farmer is milking the cow and eventually they're going to 303 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:45,380 slaughter the cow for the beef right but then they said eventually those cows will grow wings 304 00:23:46,060 --> 00:23:50,980 and be able to fly off the farm so they didn't they are not destined for that life of being 305 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:57,400 milked and then slaughtered and that is what this this is talking about where you have the 306 00:23:57,340 --> 00:24:04,980 opportunity right now to grow your own wings and to explore your options. Now, if you're living in 307 00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:10,820 America, maybe America is your best option and you love it. I'm not telling people to repatriate or 308 00:24:10,940 --> 00:24:16,160 to give up their American citizenship. That's not what this is about. But this is simply, 309 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:22,760 you are being empowered through technology to where you can make money anywhere in the world. 310 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,640 And so you can choose to live anywhere in the world. 311 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:34,340 And now we are seeing this transition where governments are going to start to compete for their citizens, compete with each other. 312 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,700 The book predicts that there's going to be a period of violence. 313 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:46,860 Others think that maybe they were off on that aspect of it, that this could be a more peaceful revolution. 314 00:24:48,060 --> 00:24:51,360 Bitcoin is honestly a tool of that peaceful revolution. 315 00:24:51,900 --> 00:24:52,780 A lot of people are predicting. 316 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,380 I personally think so. 317 00:24:54,410 --> 00:25:00,160 I think that you can have a peaceful revolution where you have this currency now that is the 318 00:25:00,970 --> 00:25:03,520 rule set is enforced by everyone in the world. 319 00:25:04,090 --> 00:25:06,160 So the rules really can't change. 320 00:25:06,210 --> 00:25:08,620 The base fundamental rules don't change. 321 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:17,560 You can't have a group of 12 people at the Federal Reserve or a small handful of people 322 00:25:17,590 --> 00:25:21,120 that sit in some office in a White House somewhere in a country. 323 00:25:21,700 --> 00:25:25,960 who simply decide, we want to change the regulations. We want to change the rules. 324 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,480 We want to change what the money is. We want to make more of the money. 325 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,600 We want to change the interest rates just because we feel like it. 326 00:25:32,740 --> 00:25:40,940 When you're living with Bitcoin, those rules are not up to a few people. They're up to everyone 327 00:25:41,340 --> 00:25:46,580 and they're effectively cemented in stone. It's very difficult to change them. They can change 328 00:25:46,580 --> 00:25:52,080 over time, but it's very difficult to change them. And so when you start to live with this currency, 329 00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:59,780 it removes the power from governments to manipulate things for their control. 330 00:26:00,530 --> 00:26:06,800 And so this is where it could be a peaceful revolution. Now there is obviously the 331 00:26:06,850 --> 00:26:11,160 government has a monopoly on violence. That's what they call the police. That's what they call 332 00:26:11,140 --> 00:26:19,560 the military, they are legally sanctioned to carry out violence on the citizens. If my neighbor were 333 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:26,660 to do me wrong or if some stranger were to do me wrong and break the law, I am not able to go 334 00:26:27,330 --> 00:26:34,940 grab that person and tie them up and throw them in a cage, right? I'm not able to engage with 335 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:40,020 that person violently at all. That is not my right as a citizen in the United States. 336 00:26:41,140 --> 00:26:44,020 The United States government and pretty much most governments around the world 337 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:50,940 do reserve that right. And so we have outsourced that. And there are good reasons for it, right, 338 00:26:51,050 --> 00:26:57,400 that we outsourced it in many ways. Vigilante justice is a scary place to live. But we outsourced 339 00:26:57,500 --> 00:27:05,020 that violence to them. So I can call the police. I can file a report. And if everything is as I say 340 00:27:05,020 --> 00:27:12,560 then that person that wronged me could potentially get tied up and thrown into 341 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,680 a cage aka a cell. Alright there's obviously a lot of process in between 342 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,680 there but that's what could happen. So 343 00:27:21,419 --> 00:27:25,240 that's so that's the monopoly on violence that they have. People kind of 344 00:27:25,300 --> 00:27:31,160 push back on to use that phrase but not not I don't think people who read the 345 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:35,000 book don't push back on it it's more normal conversation if I were to bring 346 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,000 they're like well the government isn't violent but when you really peel it back that is their 347 00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:45,820 that's their main tool for continuing to do what they do and if you choose to stop paying your 348 00:27:45,900 --> 00:27:52,700 taxes if you choose to stop obeying certain rules that you don't agree with that violence is going 349 00:27:52,780 --> 00:27:59,320 to come for you so bitcoin and other concepts this technological revolution that we are part of 350 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:06,480 is trying to be that peaceful revolution where you slowly remove the need for that violence, 351 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:14,880 the need for that excessive force. And governments can change over time and either collapse 352 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:20,620 completely, which this book predicts the collapse of the nation state, or they evolve to be 353 00:28:20,740 --> 00:28:26,360 something else. So if you consider within the United States, the ability to simply move between 354 00:28:26,360 --> 00:28:32,720 states. I envision that kind of being what they're describing where you'll be able to 355 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,080 move around the world freely and make money from anywhere in the world. 356 00:28:39,580 --> 00:28:46,900 If you think about people who, people are born where they're born, they have zero choice in it. 357 00:28:47,390 --> 00:28:50,440 There are many things in life that we get to choose. That is not one you got to choose. You 358 00:28:50,580 --> 00:28:55,660 didn't get to choose the genetics that make up your body. You didn't get to choose 359 00:28:56,340 --> 00:29:00,460 the country that you were born in. You didn't get to choose the family that you were born in. 360 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:07,500 And a lot of people, that meant really bad luck. For a lot of people, that meant really good luck. 361 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:16,560 The sovereign individual is saying that that luck is now being, the importance of a luck is 362 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:23,660 being diminished. The playing field is being leveled. It is going to be even. And we are 363 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:29,380 going to have, for lack of a better phrase, equal opportunity out there. Not a quality of outcome, 364 00:29:30,180 --> 00:29:35,480 but a quality of opportunity. I hear fireworks going off in the background. A quality of 365 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:43,100 opportunity. I've left the screen on this thing. I had some quotes that I pulled up. 366 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:48,799 So you think about somebody who grew up in poverty in some other country in the world that typically 367 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:55,760 has not had a lot of opportunity. Well, now they can get an internet connection pretty easily and 368 00:29:55,860 --> 00:29:59,780 they can start to learn and they can gain new skills and they can provide those skills on the 369 00:29:59,820 --> 00:30:07,340 open market, get paid using something like Bitcoin, and then they can level up within their society 370 00:30:07,660 --> 00:30:11,140 and they can choose to stay there in that society or they can choose to move somewhere. 371 00:30:11,820 --> 00:30:18,220 But the opportunities are there for anyone. So what that means is wherever you are, 372 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,780 you need to make sure that you are improving your skill set and making sure that your skill set 373 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,040 is marketable on the open market because you now have more competition around you. 374 00:30:27,690 --> 00:30:32,380 You used to be able to go, they talk about how we're moving from the industrial age into the 375 00:30:32,450 --> 00:30:37,460 information age. That's this fourth turning that they talk about in the book. It used to be that 376 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:43,280 you went and worked at a factory and that was your job. And you had job security as long as you showed 377 00:30:43,420 --> 00:30:48,300 up every day and did your thing, you got paid, that was it. Then we moved into kind of like the 378 00:30:48,300 --> 00:30:54,820 space and but you still had a salary you went and showed up you did your thing as 379 00:30:54,820 --> 00:30:57,780 long as you did it well enough and didn't get fired then you can just do 380 00:30:57,860 --> 00:31:01,500 it for the rest of your life if you wanted to and get paid well now that we 381 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,740 are breaking down those barriers it becomes less about just getting that 382 00:31:05,900 --> 00:31:12,100 nice salary job and more about you need to be providing value in order to get 383 00:31:12,220 --> 00:31:16,420 value in return and that could still look like a salary job those aren't 384 00:31:16,420 --> 00:31:22,420 going away completely. But for a lot of people, that just means doing jobs here and there for 385 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:27,240 individuals and companies that need it at the time. And you piece together enough of those 386 00:31:27,430 --> 00:31:33,680 and you build a nice living for yourself. And then you save that those earnings in a hard currency 387 00:31:34,580 --> 00:31:40,480 like Bitcoin, like gold, these other ones. And then you start to build up a future for yourself 388 00:31:40,650 --> 00:31:44,440 where you can be even more independent. Now, gold is difficult because if you're going to move 389 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,600 jurisdictions, you can't take it with you. It's very difficult to move. That's why Bitcoin is 390 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:54,100 amazing because you can just take it with you easily and it cannot be confiscated. 391 00:31:55,120 --> 00:32:00,960 Let's share a few quotes that I found here. This was, you know, we're just going to go through, 392 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:06,080 we're going to rattle off rapid fire and then end the stream here. To dare a thought is to risk 393 00:32:06,180 --> 00:32:11,580 being wrong. Incomes will become more unequal within jurisdictions and more equal between them. 394 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:12,700 That's what we just talked about. 395 00:32:13,330 --> 00:32:15,360 The cyber economy, rather than China, 396 00:32:15,890 --> 00:32:19,760 could well be the greatest economic phenomenon of the next 30 years. 397 00:32:19,830 --> 00:32:21,100 So remember this was written in 1997. 398 00:32:21,860 --> 00:32:24,780 We are now almost 20 years after that. 399 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:26,160 Or 30. 400 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:27,380 20. 401 00:32:27,930 --> 00:32:29,360 Oh man, math on air is the worst. 402 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:32,320 20 years. 403 00:32:32,700 --> 00:32:36,260 So we have seen the rise of China. 404 00:32:36,850 --> 00:32:38,680 It's become very strong as industrial power, 405 00:32:38,770 --> 00:32:40,240 but there are cracks. 406 00:32:41,420 --> 00:32:43,560 People are noticing cracks in the system, right? 407 00:32:44,820 --> 00:32:48,860 So really, the cyber economy is going to be global. 408 00:32:49,380 --> 00:32:53,400 Not a globalist society in the sense that we're going to have this one government ruling the world. 409 00:32:53,460 --> 00:32:54,380 I really hope we don't do that. 410 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,360 And that's what we need to, that's what this book is trying to push against. 411 00:33:00,140 --> 00:33:00,680 Let's see. 412 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,840 The idea of property emerged as an inevitable consequence of farming. 413 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:07,540 Let's look at some other ones here. 414 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,560 Governments will ultimately have little choice 415 00:33:12,650 --> 00:33:15,420 but to treat populations in territories they serve 416 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:16,160 more like customers, 417 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:22,320 unless in the easy that organized criminals 418 00:33:22,740 --> 00:33:24,920 treat the victims of a shakedown racket. 419 00:33:27,899 --> 00:33:30,000 Okay, let's end on this one right here. 420 00:33:30,900 --> 00:33:32,600 Governments will ultimately have little choice 421 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,940 but to treat populations in territories they serve 422 00:33:35,060 --> 00:33:35,740 more like customers. 423 00:33:36,780 --> 00:33:39,400 That's the main premise of this entire book. 424 00:33:39,700 --> 00:33:44,400 So I highly recommend reading The Sovereign Individual today, wherever you live. 425 00:33:45,300 --> 00:33:46,740 Celebrate this concept of freedom. 426 00:33:47,620 --> 00:33:50,860 Celebrate the concepts upon which the American Revolution were fought and won. 427 00:33:52,020 --> 00:33:59,800 I don't think that the country we have today in America is the same that was initially built on those principles. 428 00:34:00,100 --> 00:34:01,820 I think we have drifted quite a bit. 429 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:07,080 if you think about building a government over two centuries, two and a half centuries, 430 00:34:08,260 --> 00:34:13,720 you slowly create another government job, another regulation, another department, 431 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,940 another organization. And this applies to any government in the world, but I'm living here, 432 00:34:18,020 --> 00:34:22,300 so I'm talking about this one. And if you try to picture it as a large building, 433 00:34:23,240 --> 00:34:28,260 you add one more brick, and then you put some masonry on it, and then you add another brick, 434 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,780 and you slowly build up this large building over centuries, 435 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,780 if you wanted to dismantle that building, 436 00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:38,639 the quickest way, obviously, is to destroy it. 437 00:34:38,919 --> 00:34:40,940 But that is the most aggressive way, right? 438 00:34:41,100 --> 00:34:42,500 To blow it up or something like that. 439 00:34:43,260 --> 00:34:46,100 And that causes a lot of pain, a lot of damage, a lot of heartache. 440 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:51,800 If you wanted to do it peacefully, you would dismantle it brick by brick, right? 441 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,240 You would first take off one tile from the roof and then another one, 442 00:34:55,300 --> 00:34:57,100 and you would slowly disassemble it. 443 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:02,940 It takes a lot of care, a lot of thought, but it's also really difficult, right? 444 00:35:03,090 --> 00:35:03,920 It takes a long time. 445 00:35:05,780 --> 00:35:09,520 Technologies like Bitcoin, technologies like the internet, technologies like encryption 446 00:35:09,770 --> 00:35:14,460 and cryptography are trying to dismantle the system brick by brick. 447 00:35:15,100 --> 00:35:16,640 And maybe we can do it peacefully. 448 00:35:17,060 --> 00:35:22,540 We're hoping to not do it in a way that causes it to implode and blow up and cause massive 449 00:35:22,810 --> 00:35:22,920 damage. 450 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,620 So look at the world around you. 451 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:32,500 I highly recommend reading this book if you haven't already or or do a refresher on it 452 00:35:33,490 --> 00:35:36,960 explore a lot of these technologies that we talk about week in and week out because that's what 453 00:35:37,020 --> 00:35:43,540 we're doing here we're trying to help you dismantle the system that if you're living 454 00:35:43,650 --> 00:35:50,720 in an oppressive system we're trying to help you break free of that tool by tool piece by piece 455 00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:55,580 friend by friend, family member by family member. Build up your own personal network. 456 00:35:56,220 --> 00:35:59,800 Build up a network of friends, a network of family members that you can depend on 457 00:36:00,700 --> 00:36:05,080 because that is going to be your true sovereignty.
