Thank you all for helping me keep some sense of reality and that I’m not completely insane.
Went to a normie dinner party tonight and people were looking at me like I was batshit crazy, and I was still just in the shallow end warming up.
Some people never have their values challenged in any meaningful way nor actually look at them with a critical lens and it shows.
Abolish public education, it creates zombies.
It's absolutely true, but you've gotta include Republicans too. Both parties of full of NPCs. In fact, almost by definition if someone's following a party they're not thinking for themselves.
Feel this often
doin Gods work!
Erik your recent ep with Hodl on the progressive bitcoiner was really terrific. It was raw, honest, rigorous, and yet still kind. Very much appreciative of your work and your presence.
I think a lot of people have become so embedded in and dependent on the status quo that, while they have the intelligence to and might even have once questioned it, they've lost the ability to conceive of alternatives.
That’s why we require double blind placebo controlled trials before bringing new drugs to market.
Well, unless it’s Covid. So, you see, nobody is immune to this…incentives matter.
I normally try my best to dance around the crazy stuff, but I will let it rip every once in a while haha.
Once after spending a bunch of time with my father trying to show him that Bitcoin isn't just for NgU but is a moral imperative. He kept not getting it so right as I was leaving I said, "Look, when you store your wealth in the current financial system you are literally handing it straight to Satan. In Bitcoin your wealth is only controlled by you."
Sometimes it's better to just slap them in the face with the truth, right? 😎
My whole life is normies. I don't know any real bitcoiners outside of X or this place I just joined 2 minutes ago. Don't even have a profile here yet. I love watching and listening you on the pods. You're my kind of psychopath!
We are here. We are the remnant https://mises.org/mises-daily/isaiahs-job
The time is coming when they wish they would have listened.
Everyone’s got their own priorities
"It’s not what you say, but how you say it"—wise words. Sometimes, it's like talking Bitcoin to a fiat maximalist. The content might be gold, but if it’s wrapped in confusion, no one's going to dig in. The real art is crafting your message so even the most sleep-walking normie has to pause, squint, and say, “Wait… what if?” In the end, it’s about resonance. You don’t need them to agree, just to think. Let your words be both a beacon and a breadcrumb trail back to reality.
Would live to hear more bout this convo LoL

We live in a separate world my man, I just build & stack so maybe I can help a few of them out when the time comes
You're not crazy. The rest of the world is
curious 🤔 what happened?
Short of it is I brought up how the algos on social media are designed to manipulate us, told it was a conspiracy theory, and proceeded to give them a 5-min monologue on the history of government propaganda and surveillance while pretty much everyone looked at me like I was a weirdo.
I can relate to it and I feel you. I have learned that when they are so deep into their social condition, until they are at the receiving end of those proganda at the expense of their livelihood, they will not wake up. So I stopped doing it in group settings and only share to those who have earned to know it. 💪🤓
wow - i thought the social media algo manipulation was common knowledge at this point
We’re they looking at you like you are crazy or we’re they looking at you like you said the quiet part out loud?
Majority don’t want to hear the uncomfortable truths and would prefer…. Did you catch the game last night?
Who are we to judge sanity? If we’re all insane so be it. I’m happy to be there with you and the rest of us.
Water seeks it’s own level.
What do you do/say?
Do you happen to get these same vibes in barber shops, air planes, or aa meetings/ support groups? I get those vibes now without even mentioning BTC or anything controversial.
You help us as well 🤝 , thank you
I feel this deeply. I’m very thankful for you all. 💜🫂
sadly a simple mentioned of bitcoin alone is enough to trigger a normie
been there
"still in the shallow end warming up" 😂
Yep I’m the batshit crazy one in my family and my wife’s my mates all know I’m out on the perimeter and except me for it
Batshit crazy club checking in. Mainstream sheeple are exhausting.
You're a baller. Enjoy the contrast.
