Uncompromising thoughts on freedom, philosophy, and building a life outside the system. Bitcoin, sovereignty, and the pursuit of truth.
Yes, you. All reasonably healthy humans are demi-gods. I apologize for hitting you with a concept that may feel foreign, dangerous and ridiculous, but it needs to be said. And regardless that we lack proper definitions for such concepts, it’s true. #plebchain #followforfollow #philosophy image
I’m not telling you whether I’ve had the jab or not, because it doesn’t matter. What I am telling you is that a woman in Denver is about to die because the medical establishment won’t let her have a surgery, simply and only because she hasn’t had their shot. Bearing in mind that Denver hospitals have seen thousands of COVID patients over nearly two years, this isn’t defensible… it’s willfully causing a death.

Yes, we’ve seen a string of irrational, malicious and even murderous rules lately, but that’s not what I’m addressing in this post. Today my point is that rules by themselves – rules by their essence – are the opponents of righteousness. I know this strikes most people as impossible, but I’m convinced that it’s correct and important. #followforfollow #plebchain #philosophy image
Passion, in our time, is badly misunderstood. And so I suppose I should start by saying that I’m not talking about the human sex drive, though the truth is that as you choke passion proper, sexual passion tends to be choked along with it. We express passion – real passion – when we make things sacred to ourselves; when we erect borders to protect things we care deeply about… when we say “This space is mine, and no one else is permitted unless I invite them in.” #podcast #followforfollow #plebchain image https://freemansperspective.com/podcast-the-neutering-of-our-passions-and-the-reclaiming-of-our-passions/
It would be hard to overstate how important I think this is, and not just for Christians. This concept is deeply radical: If it doesn’t jar you, you probably haven’t grasped it. And at the same time it’s deeply transformational. I know that once I wrapped my mind around it, one important understanding after another followed behind it. The philosophy that Jesus left us – not a theology, but a philosophy – stands ready to revolutionize human life. #Podcast #FollowForFollow #Plebchain image https://freemansperspective.com/podcast-jesus-lost-philosophy/
As systems, Bitcoin’s culture and the status quo are different to the point of being mutually exclusive. More than that, their difference not only affects humans in different ways, but forms humans in different ways. And so the difference between Bitcoin and the status quo is of tremendous importance. #bitcoin #crypto #plebchain #followforfollow image
I’ve touched upon this subject in my subscription newsletter, but I had no plans to write anything more until I got a note from a friend, mentioning a particular investment analyst and his views on investing over the next few years. I had to agree that it was brilliant analysis, but at the same time I knew that I’d never do anything about it, because I simply can’t bring myself to put money into “the markets” anymore. #plebchain #followforfollow #freemarket image https://freemansperspective.com/why-i-no-longer-invest-in-stocks-and-bonds/
I am not trying to insult libertarians; they’ve been right, or reasonably close to right, on a great many things, and for decades on end; that’s not trivial. Nonetheless, they could never get much moving in the world, while Bitcoiners, to use an old but fitting phrase, are turning the world upside-down. I think it’s important to understand why. #Bitcoin #plebchain #followforfollow #btc #Libertarians image
As far back as we can see in any detail, we find humans creating art. But art is an odd thing, in that people generally create it for internal (and thus hard-to-articulate) reasons, making clear, logical explanations difficult. Making it still harder has been an obsession with incoherent and confusing art over the past century. #plebchain #followforfollow #art #blog image
There’s a lot to say about this little phrase, and it’s an exceptionally potent study, because it gives us a crucial view of our function in the world. It’s a phrase Jesus used far more than any other, and I think you’ll be surprised by what he actually said. #followforfollow #philosophy #religion #podcast image https://freemansperspective.com/podcast-the-kingdom-of-god/
It has become common to speak of Judeo-Christian principles, but that begs the question of precisely what those principles are. And so I searched for a clear set of them, and came up dry. I found statements of religious beliefs and I found lists of good habits that were spawned by Judeo-Christian principles, but I didn’t find the principles themselves. #followforfollow #plebchain #religion #christianity #philosophy image
I had preconceptions about the United Nations, of course, but I was looking forward to seeing the real thing in person; only then would I know if my guesses had been correct. So, I made my plans. #followforfollow #plebchain #ClimateChange image
All of us in the modern West grew up believing that we were living under “the rule of law.” The truth, however, is that the rule of law – the sovereignty of law – ended a couple of centuries ago. And by losing it, we lost a primary driver of our civilization. #followforfollow #plebchain #history #blog image
The past year has been a mass confusion of fear, misinformation, cover-ups, tyranny, crazed true-believers and more. Making sense of it has been difficult, and even those of us who try to do so professionally have come up short. But this morning the word we’ve needed rolled through my mind as I was waking up. And that word is scope. Please bear with me as I explain. #followforfollow #plebchain #Misinformation #Tyranny #Blog #Opinion image
