14th book of 2024 complete: Meditations by Marcus Aurelius Always great to go back to the classics. There is a lot of wisdom to be learned from those who lived before us, before technology distracted us from understanding and living virtuously. @Mike Hobart recommended this book on @Robert Breedlove's show

12th book of 2024 complete: The Sovereign Individual is a book I put off for way too long. This book should be moved to the top of your reading list IMMEDIATELY!

When we fight other countries wars for them it incentivizes other countries to push their international disputes to the brink of war Of course, that’s the plan. It’s always been the plan to foment wars around the world to help fund the Empire If you don’t think The Regime is good at foreign policy, you don’t understand what their foreign policy objectives are

You’re either stoking the flame of freedom or you’re trying to extinguish it Stoke the Fire!!

7th book of 2024 completed: The Immortality Key by Brian Muraresku is a deep dive into the Christian sacrament of Eucharist. Brian argues, with very persuasive research and detail, that Paleo Christians used psychedelics during the first four centuries of Christianity while the religion was practiced secretly to evade Roman authority. This sheds incredible light on a practice that helped convert pagans and kept the flame of early Christianity lit; only to have the practice systematically snuffed out so that only the priests of the newly founded Roman Catholic Church could consecrate and transubstantiate bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ. This was one of many historical battles between decentralization and authoritarianism, with the latter winning handedly. But former may very well be having a comeback.
