Svetski Wake Up Podcast

On Episode 44, I’m pleased to host Alex Epstein. Philosopher, energy expert, author of the Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, founder of the centre for industrial progress. We get into a whole lot of philosophy on this episode and wrap it up with a discussion about energy. We take a deep dive into the psychology of the green movement and the anti-human movement. Why are we packaging the anti-human with the positive elements of sustainability We discuss objectivism and Ayn Rand’s work. The jungle, the concrete jungle & the garden. The moral case for Fossil Fuels. At a high level. Energy density Environmental Damage done with renewables Average rate of return for energy input into renewables Energy independence with “renewables”. Myth or fact? Self sufficiency with fossil fuels. How ? Efficiency with fossil fuel innovation What do we need to work on? We didn’t get into where nuclear fits in, but you’ll get the picture. I took a moment to tie Bitcoin to energy (because it IS energy money), and make clear that in tying money to unforgeable energy, we root it in physical laws and therefore make impossible the waste, capital and innovation misallocation that’s the real core issue in the world today. This is why bitcoin fixes this. Follow Alex’s work at: https://energtytalkingpoints.com @AlexEpstein on twitter/ Check out his book on Amazon; “The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels”. It’s a must read. ____________________________________ Thanks again for listening.

Taking a little detour from Bitcoin history, and into Trigger-territory this week. My latest article, is the first I've done in a LONG time that is not Bitcoin-centric, but life & philosophy centric. I'm tired of all the "Ego death" myopia out there, spouted by faux philosophers like Ryan Holiday and their brainless acolytes who are simply empty vessels, easily influenced by vague platitudes like "no suffering & no self". In this essay, I make the case for the necessity of the Ego, and suggest that you as a human, alive with a mind, body & soul, pay this ancient, emergent construct of nature (or gift of God), some respect. Your Ego is your Character and your Personality. "Ego Death" is nothing to proud of, nor something top be pursued. If that's your life's mission, you're an immature moron. I hope this is triggering for those with fragile Egos, and for those who have the strength of character and fortitude of Ego, I hope you find it an argument with merit.

Bitcoin history continues, with another magnificent piece from mid 2011. Once again, it's as if it was written last year, and is one of the pieces of Bitcoin History which you just have to look at and marvel. http://cs702.wordpress.com/2011/05/29/on-the-potential-adoption-and-price-appreciation-of-bitcoin-in-the-long-run/ This one is written by cs702. He nails everything from MoE to SoV arguments, some basic math on price appreciation, the demonetisation of gold, the adoption by Salvador and so much more. Very, very, very impressive piece of historic Bitcoin literature. I hope enjoy this one and if you like what we're doing here with the reads, send us a comment via a "boost" on Fountain or any value-for-value app. https://play.fountain.fm/show/KGEglVpdWo4zXQWR3X7G And of course, subscribe to the channel across all the mediums you're on.

In this episode, we take a moment to explore The Milgram Experiments, and people's propensity to inflict pain on another, by virtue of obeying perceived authority. This is such a powerful idea, and one that sits at the bedrock of the whole Remnant / Parasite / Masses framework. In future I'll do one the Asch experiment also. This is a fantastic book I hope enjoy the excerpt.

In this episode, we read an excerpt from the great book by Larken Rose; "The Most Dangerous Superstition". We explore a series of things including: - "I'm just doing my job" syndrome - The idea of a "Law Enforcer" - Morality  - Free Will And what I think is one of the most poignant points, the fact that the most dangerous thing people can do is not malevolence or violence, but blindly obeying orders.

On this week's Ep, I've got a very special Guest. Scott Horton, one of the world's most vocal and hard working Libertarians and anti-war authors. He joined me to speak about why and how foreign policy is the most important aspect of a presidency or nation state’s impact.  How a monopoly on violence gives the state the power of an empire. Why wars so enticing for a state. Is modern warfare different to medieval & ancient warfare? Why? How did we get here? What went wrong along the way? The constant state of emergency Does he think what’s happened in the last 14mths (globalist agenda) is in some ways retribution for America’s meddling in everyone’s shit? If we were more localised, would these kinds of wars or conflicts be as much of a reality? When is War necessary? One of the resources that Scott Mentioned was a series of works by Garet Garrett: - The revolution that was - Ex America - Rise of Empire Make sure you follow Scott & his work at: https://scotthorton.org/ http://libertarianinstitute.org Antiwar.com The Scott Horton Show and Antiwar Radio (More than 5,000 interviews since 2003.)

This is a special Episode and a little different to what I usually do. Pete Evans and I met many years ago in Sydney, and crossed paths a number of times since then in the most uncanny of circumstances and stayed in touch over the years. We've recently discovered that we're on the same page on a number of ideas, so I thought it best we jump on a call to talk through some of them. The central idea in this discussion is Personal Responsibility, which is something that's been eroded amongst the populace for many years, but something that people like myself, Pete and those listening to this podcast truly hold dear. There's a number of other topics we touch on also, and of note, I attempt to weave Bitcoin into the discussion toward the end, but considering the scope of the topic of Money & Bitcoin, I'm not sure I did it much justice in the time we had. Nevertheless, Pete & I will connect again in future and I hope we can take you (the audience) on a Journey as we dig down the Bitcoin and Individual Sovereignty rabbit hole. I hope you enjoy this episode, and of course, you can find Pete + his work at: Instagram @ChefPeteEvans www.peteevans.com www.evolvenetwork.tv ____________________________________ Thanks again for listening.

"A real comparison between gold & bitcoin is to compare their relative ability to alleviate uncertainty" Pierre Rochard, VP of research at Riot Platforms Inc, and yes - THAT Pierre, joins me finally, on the Wake Up Podcast to discuss his new piece for The Bitcoin Times, entitled; Bitcoin VS Gold. Now..this is not just another one of those articles. This one is short, concise and you WILL take away with you a concept that you may not have thought about before. The difference between uncertainty and risk. You can find the fill article here on The Bitcoin Times website: https://bitcointimes.io/bitcoin-versus-gold/ We go on a few tangents in the episode also, but here are the core topics: Free Will & Determinism / Austrian Econ & Keyenianism Nature VS Nurture The difference between uncertainty and risk. Money (savings) is how we relieve uncertainty!! Inflationism is a policy that dissuades people from holding cash, and there forces them to become short-termist & have high time preference. Price is all about risk. Savings is how we minimise and manage uncertainty - NOT Risk Inflationism is a policy that dissuades people from holding cash, and therefore increases their uncertainty.

“There is no bitcoin network outside of bitcoin nodes. Those who do not run their own full node are using someone else’s full node“ Bitstein is the co-founder of both The Nakamoto Institute and Noted Bitcoin Podcast & he’s one of the most well read people I’ve ever met. The episode continues with part two, and we cover the balance of his incredible article: Toward a Node World Order; How Bitcoin Obsoletes Inflation & Promotes Human Flourishing. Read it here: https://bitcointimes.com.au/toward-a-node-world-order/ In this part, we cover: Why Gold “didn’t fix this” The 3 steps to a Fiat World Order How military conquest has been overshadowed by monetary policy Why Bitcoin Fixes This Doing your own verifying and indexing is the only way to be sure your index data is secure.  — Satoshi Nakamoto A full node as an independent bookkeeper “The bitcoin network was architected in such a way that a full node can operate in a bunker, cut off from the rest of the world, save for a single internet connection”  The dangers of people who keep trying to extend it’s purpose beyond that, in some attempt to make it do everything (eg; Ethereum, and even Bitcoiners with Ethereum envy, eg; Stacks) Bitcoin Nodes and Methodological Individualism  What is Methodological Individualism ? How does it manifest with a Bitcoin Node? The idea that Bitcoin exists on the node seems to fry people’s brains because they can’t conceptualise how a global network can simultaneously be here in a local node.  “There is no bitcoin network outside of bitcoin nodes. Those who do not run their own full node are using someone else’s full node“ The Establishment of a Bitcoin World Order  A fundamentally better economic operating system  The Industrial Revolution freed humanity from the Malthusian trap. Bitcoin, having put an end to counterfeiting once and for all, frees us from the fiat trap.  Follow Michael @BitStein Check out NakamotoInstitute.org And buy your copy of The Bitcoin Times: bitcointimes.io ____________________________________ Thanks again for listening.

“All Bitcoin is paper bitcoin until verified by your own full node” Bitstein is the co-founder of both The Nakamoto Institute and Noted Bitcoin Podcast & he’s one of the most well read people I’ve ever met. He joins me on the show to discuss the first essay he’s written in a LOOOONG time, called: Toward a Node World Order; How Bitcoin Obsoletes Inflation & Promotes Human Flourishing. Read it here: https://bitcointimes.com.au/toward-a-node-world-order/ We covered so much ground in this ep, that we split it into two parts. In part one we cover: Nodes. What they are, why they’re important and how they manifest our will onto the Bitcoin Network. “Perpetual vigilance on the part of the citizens can achieve what a thousand laws and dozens of alphabetical bureaus with hordes of employees never have and never will achieve: the preservation of a sound currency.” This is clearly how Bitcoin & nodes seem to have manifested his quote, but what do you think he envisioned when he said this? What is the Malthusian Trap? How did we solve for it? The productivity theory of wages, and how Marxists in general get child labour so wrong. Why real progress requires capital accumulation, technological advancement & public ideology “There was never enough slaves to create an iPhone for the Pharaoh.” Time preference Why is the “evenly rotating economy” always going to be hypothetical ?
