This is how I feel, the hopefulness before the clash and turning point. The feeling that we are going to win #Bitcoin 🏆 View quoted note →

The 1970s did more than change money, it changed our relationship with consciousness and connection too. With Nixon’s Controlled Substances Act in 1970, psychedelics were pushed into Schedule I and research was driven underground. A movement that questioned authority, perception and inner freedom was treated as a threat. The following year, the dollar was taken off the gold standard. People were severed from intuition and money was severed from energy. These actions explain so much about where we are now. A society drowning in debt, mental distress, disconnection and permanent war, while still pretending these things are separate problems. Hunter S. Thompson captured the comedown in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The great wave of the 1960s had broken and rolled back, leaving behind the sense that something alive had been interrupted before it could fully reveal what it was reaching for. The response to this rupture has taken two different forms. One asks us to look inward and untangle the unconscious patterns running our lives. The other asks us to look outward and question the monetary system governing the world. This demands that we stop outsourcing reality. Illusion, awakening, fear, resistance and the difficulty of seeing clearly in a world built on managed perception. Maybe the decline did not begin when money lost its anchor. Maybe it began when society declared war on the tools that help people see the cage. I wrote this Forbes piece in 2024 and the connection between psychedelic therapy, bitcoin and sovereignty feels even more relevant now.
