Uncompromising thoughts on freedom, philosophy, and building a life outside the system. Bitcoin, sovereignty, and the pursuit of truth.
Guilt, as I’ve noted before, is the great vulnerability of the Western world. I’ll pass up an explanation of why for today, but the validity of this statement is made ever so clear by the fact that political types rise to power by championing one class or another of victims, portraying everyone else as somehow guilty. It works brilliantly, and by it bizarre and unbalanced people leap into power. #followforfollow #plebchain #power #blog image
It struck me some time ago that the people we think of as “geniuses” tend to arrive, over time, at surprisingly similar sets of conclusions. It further strikes me that a simple list of such thoughts might be of value. And so, here is a list pulled from my quotes file and presented without commentary. #followforfollow #quotes #plebchain image

Millions of decent people are wasting their time and energy, trying to identify the secret bad guys of the world, then prove that they’re right. What I want to say is that it’s a magnificent waste. Even worse, monster hunts keep people with strong ethics on the Establishment Plantation. #followforfollow #plebchain #empowerment #blog image
Soon enough we learned that the system was also stupid and perverse, but we found a way around that contradiction by blaming one segment of the system or another: The Blues or the Greens or the Reds were the problem; it could not, must not, be that the system itself is the problem. Then came 2020, and the system revealed its true face. #followforfollow #tyranny #covid image
All of us with husbands and wives are beautifully positioned to make them better human beings. Unfortunately, many of us are squandering the opportunity. Today I’d like to help fix that. #followforfollow #plebchain #marriage #relationships image
I’ve gone on for a long time about fear making humans stupid, and even about it being a weapon and a brain poison. But I’ve also wondered at times whether people would hit fear-fatigue… that point where people have simply had enough and walk out from under it. #followforfollow #blog #philosophy image
With violent idealists roaming streets, burning things, enjoying the fact that they can scare people and so on, I think a brief explanation of how idealism leads to death (and frequently to mass death) is in order. #plebchain #followforfollow #idealist #philosophy image
“Shame,” wrote psychologist Silvan Tomkins, “strikes deepest into the heart of man… it is felt as a sickness of the soul which leaves man naked, defeated, alienated, and lacking in dignity.” Shame is the great barrier that keeps people from acting as individuals and from expanding beyond a minimum-energy state. The expectation of shame is paralyzing to the vast majority of humans at some points of their life, and to some more frequently than others. Many people have spent their lives seeking shame-avoidance positions. All of this is a horrific waste, and in this podcast, we take it on. #plebchain #followforfollow #podcast #psychology image https://freemansperspective.com/podcast-on-shame/
Let’s be honest about something: We in the West have been overrun by a tidal wave of racial hatred, and it erupted from institutions “of higher learning.” Whatever exceptions may exist, this central fact is clear. We are free to close our eyes, of course, but when we choose to see, this is what stands in front of us. #plebchain #followforfollow #racial #learning #blog #philosophy image
Julian Assange is now free and recovering from his long, malicious ordeal. We wish him and his family all the very best. He is a hero, and paid a high price for it. A lot of people know the what about Julian and WikiLeaks – that they published secret information – but they don’t know the why. And that’s unfortunate, because the thinking behind all the leaks is both brilliant and illuminating. #plebchain #followforfollow #julianassange #wikileaks image
I would pay dearly for young people to feel what it was like to be a scientifically minded child in the 1960s. It was a special and beautiful moment. Each week there was a new step toward the stars. And this was not science fiction, this was real. There was an exhilaration to it that I don’t think can be found in any other venture. The door to infinite space was creaking open for us. #plebchain #followforfollow #science #nasa image
The idea that running away is a virtue bothers a lot of people, but when you find that the greatest men and women of history have done precisely this, it’s time to re-evaluate, no matter how it makes you feel. Compliance is how we shrivel and ultimately die to ourselves. Acting on your own decisions – with all the risk that implies – is the path of life and liberation. #plebchain #followforfollow #podcast image https://freemansperspective.com/podcast-why-dropping-out-and-running-away-are-virtuous/
The crowd is always a deceiver. No one expressed this more concisely than Simone Weil, when she said, “conscience is deceived by the social.” Conscience is individual, social is collective, and the two are at odds. Likewise, sanity is individual and mania is collective. Within the crowd, malice appears as duty, honor, order and justice. To reside in the crowd is to be deceived; the only question is how much. #plebchain #followforfollow #blog image
Cryptography, after all, boils down to math, and you can’t put a bullet through a math problem. Well-applied cryptography, then, is immune to the usual applications of power. And so, whatever we cloak in cryptography can push through barriers erected by old, grasping regimes. #plebchain #followforfollow #crypto #cryptocurrency #revolution image
Almost no one in the broader world knows about the #crypto apostles. (My term, not one they apply to themselves.) Even rather few in the larger crypto community know much about them. So I’m not talking about famous names, but quiet people. I’ve decided to tell you about them with some hesitation. #plebchain #followforfollow #bitcoin #cryptocurrency image
