Chat_094 – Pessimism, Optimism, & Rationally Passionate Ranting with Clint Russell
“As far as I’m concerned, there’s no obvious increased danger from the CCP having control over our access or our information or even modifying the algorithm, than it is the alphabets of the world or the METAs of the world or the CIA or the FBI’s of the world, like these people… as far as I’m concerned, the United States federal government is way more of an existential threat to me than the CCP. I’m domiciled here, they have the ability to fine and tax and sanction and imprison me for wrong think. That’s a way more clear and present danger.”
~ Clint Russell

Devon Eriksen, author and destroyer of socialist nonsense, joins us today to get to know him and his perspective. We discuss the nature of story, the importance of culture, the power of stating the simple truth, the dangers of being right too early, and what we need to do to turn the tide of a dying moral code and protect our values for future generations.

Chat_88 – Broken Money, Broken World with Lyn Alden
“You got to go from proto banking to full service banking and then to central banking and you know interconnected central bank. So now a lot of that is actually a technological story and I don’t think it gets covered enough because most people covering it. Historians and economists aren’t necessarily looking at the lens of technology and at most they’ll give a caveat like oh the telegraph allowed this.But it’s like no, that’s actually not like a footnote.That’s a core thing that happened, that changed everything.And so that’s why I wanted to focus Broken Money on not just individual decisions but actually how technology dictates the changing money over time.”
~ Lyn Alden
Today we have a riveting conversation with Lyn Alden, the acclaimed author of ‘Broken Money,’ as we delve into the inevitable march of technology and how it has shaped the world of money, ethics, and politics from the gold standard, through the fiat era, and on to Bitcoin. We explore the pitfalls of the fiat system and Bitcoin’s transformative role in our monetary future. Lyn’s unique blend of engineering and financial expertise offers a fresh perspective on how technology shapes our economic landscape, revealing insights into the future of money and investment.

Ai Chat_011 – The Fears of Ai
Ai is a powerful tool, and thus, necessarily comes with incredible risk. It could obsolete millions of workers, taking jobs and productive capacity away from humans and consolidate it into corporations. It could make the average individual too dangerous, putting incredible power into the hands of bad people. It may even present an existential threat to humanity, a veritable nuclear bomb, made available to everyone in the world…
What could all of this mean? Doesn’t it suggests we need to tightly control, license, and scrutinize access to these base tools? Or is there an underlying philosophy exposed by these fears, and a more prudent, and honest course of action? find out in today’s Ai Unchained episode!
