Wow.. this episode you shared was insane. Can't even think what rush of adrenaline and who knows what more you experienced. Incredible. Glad you make it alive out of that and also with a second free dive.. yeah you are right the DZ owner had a smart move in the end 😅😂

Thanks again for sharing this sir 🤙🍀🫂💜

At the intersection of philosophy, theology, physics, biology, and finance lies a terrifying truth: the fiat monetary system, in its current form, is not just an economic framework but a silent, relentless force actively working against humanity's survival. It isn't simply a failed financial model—it is a systemic engine of destruction, both externally and within the very core of our biological existence.

The Philosophical Void of Fiat

Philosophy has long questioned the nature of value and the meaning of human existence. From Socrates to Kant, thinkers have pondered the pursuit of truth, beauty, and virtue. But in the modern age, the fiat system has hijacked this discourse. The notion of "value" in a fiat world is no longer rooted in human potential or natural resources—it is abstracted, manipulated, and controlled by central authorities with the sole purpose of perpetuating their own power. The currency is not a reflection of society’s labor or resources; it is a representation of faith in an authority that, more often than not, breaks that faith with reckless monetary policies and hidden inflation.

The fiat system has created a kind of ontological nihilism, where the idea of true value, rooted in work, creativity, and family, is replaced with speculative gambling and short-term gains. This betrayal of human purpose at the systemic level feeds into a philosophical despair: the relentless devaluation of effort, the erosion of trust, and the abandonment of shared human values. In this nihilistic economy, purpose and meaning become increasingly difficult to find, leaving millions to question the very foundation of their existence.

Theological Implications: Fiat and the Collapse of the Sacred

Religious traditions have long linked moral integrity with the stewardship of resources and the preservation of life. Fiat currency, however, corrupts these foundational beliefs. In the theological narrative of creation, humans are given dominion over the Earth, tasked with nurturing and protecting it for future generations. But the fiat system promotes the exact opposite: it commodifies everything—land, labor, and life—treating them as mere transactions on a ledger.

This disrespect for creation is an affront to the divine. In many theologies, creation is meant to be sustained, a delicate balance that mirrors the harmony of the divine order. Fiat systems—by continuously printing money and driving inflation—treat nature and humanity as expendable resources to be exploited for short-term gains, leading to environmental degradation and societal collapse. The creation narrative, in which humans are called to be stewards, is inverted. The fiat system, through its unholy alliance with unrestrained growth and unsustainable debt, is destroying the very creation it should protect.

Furthermore, the fiat system drives idolatry of power and wealth. The central banks and corporations that control the money supply have become modern-day gods, their decrees shaping the lives of billions, while the masses are enslaved by debt and inflation. This form of worship isn't overt, but it is profound. It leads to a world where people place their faith not in God or their families, but in the abstract promises of institutions that serve their own interests.

Physics and the Infinite Growth Paradox

Physics teaches us that the universe is finite—resources, energy, and space are all limited. Yet, the fiat system operates under the delusion of infinite growth. Central banks print money without concern for natural limits, encouraging an economy that assumes unending expansion. This is not only an economic fallacy; it is a physical impossibility.

In thermodynamics, the Second Law states that entropy (disorder) increases over time in any closed system. The fiat system operates as if the Earth were an infinite resource pool, perpetually able to expand without consequence. The real world, however, does not bend to these abstract concepts of infinite growth. Resources are finite, ecosystems are fragile, and human capacity is limited. Fiat currency, by promoting unsustainable consumption and growth, accelerates the depletion of resources and the degradation of natural systems that support life itself.

Even the financial “growth” driven by fiat policies leads to unsustainable bubbles—inflated stock markets, real estate, and speculative assets that burst and leave ruin in their wake. These crashes aren’t just economic—they have profound biological consequences. The cycles of boom and bust undermine communities, erode social stability, and increase anxiety and depression, all of which affect human health at a biological level.

Biology: The Fiat System and the Destruction of Human Health

Biologically, the fiat system is a cancerous growth on human society. The constant chase for growth and the devaluation of work leads to chronic stress, which is one of the leading causes of disease in modern society. The strain of living in a system that values speculation over well-being results in a biological feedback loop: rising anxiety, poor mental health, physical diseases like cardiovascular disorders, and a shortening of lifespans.

Moreover, the focus on profit and short-term returns creates a biological disconnect between humans and the planet. The fiat system fuels industries that destroy ecosystems, increase pollution, and deplete resources at unsustainable rates. These actions are not just environmentally harmful; they directly harm human biology. The degradation of the environment—whether through toxic chemicals, pollution, or resource extraction—has profound biological effects on human health, causing respiratory diseases, cancers, and neurological disorders.

The biological cost of the fiat system is not a distant theory; it is being paid every day by millions in the form of increased health risks, diseases linked to stress, and the growing burden of mental health disorders. The constant uncertainty of an inflation-driven economy exacerbates these conditions, creating a society of individuals whose bodies and minds are under constant strain. We are witnessing a systemic biological unraveling, one in which the very act of living is increasingly fraught with pain, instability, and the looming threat of collapse.

Finance as the Final Illusion

At the core of the fiat system is a fundamental illusion—that financial growth can occur without any real connection to tangible value. The abstraction of currency, the manipulation of interest rates, and the constant creation of new money hide the underlying truth: the system is built on nothing but faith. When that faith falters, the entire system collapses.

This illusion has become so deeply embedded that it now defines the human experience. Work no longer connects to production or creation—it is reduced to a transaction on a spreadsheet, a means to acquire more fiat currency in a world where value is ephemeral and increasingly disconnected from human reality.

As we pursue ever-expanding wealth, the fundamental truths of biology—interdependence, sustainability, and balance—are ignored. The fiat system’s abstract financial models serve to disconnect us from the basic realities of life: that we are part of an interconnected world where every action has a reaction, where resources are finite, and where human health, both mental and physical, depends on the stability of our environment and our social systems.

The Ultimate Extermination

In the end, the fiat system is not just an economic issue; it is a biological, philosophical, theological, and existential threat to the very survival of humanity. It is a force that devalues human effort, encourages environmental destruction, fosters inequality, and creates pain at the core of the human biological condition. It is an economic framework that leads not to prosperity, but to extermination—not just of species, but of the very essence of human well-being.

To continue on this path is to accept the slow death of our species, one based not on natural forces, but on our own choice to worship the abstract over the real, the speculative over the tangible. The fiat system isn't just a threat; it is the ultimate self-inflicted wound, a cultural and financial cancer that, if left unchecked, will destroy humanity’s chance for survival and peace.

This does mechanical chest compressions. Saving a life doesn't depend on the breaths, but on holding a consistent rhythm of compressions. Really cool device.

Good morning nostr 👑

Being your own bank is a bit of work. Added a couple Cold Cards to the mix. Task list:

- update firmware on new signing devices

- clone signing devices

- export watch only credentials to mobile app for new address set

- import new wallet to desktop app for monitoring and transactions

- backup new seed phrases on laminated paper copies and steel plates with a punch

- vacuum seal seed backups and steel plates against the elements

- remove seed backups to offsite locations

- encrypt and save wallet recovery files

- check Mempool

- move UTXO’s from old wallets to new addresses to distribute evenly across all devices and ditch Ledger FOREVER

- consolidate UTXO’s on all address sets in preparation for higher fees

I can’t believe that we still have the luxury of doing on-chain consolidation so inexpensively. Our kids won’t believe we once did this in the future.

Ten years from now, block space is going to be like Manhattan real estate.

Act accordingly. Withdraw your sats to cold storage and consolidate your bitties. 🤙🏽

Owning bitcoin doesn't require zero maintenance. You need to hone your skillset and revisit your security and storage as the value increases. This is a substantial list with a lot of great goals. Well done.

Who pleases who

We’re twixed up in mixes

Tax roll backs.

Name one time ever this TRULY happened (there is only one example btw). The rest is smoke and mirrors and the money is made up by printing (debasing).

Canada is currently the most over regulated, fleece job country there is on terms of movers taxation in the history of the world % wise.

Pierre Poillievre is just the distraction you all need to do the psychological avoidance thing that THE INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE are each doing. Avoiding the fact that they themselves need to change.

But without a soul/identity.... very difficult to forge that path. They have collectively and simply drifted too far from God. It's that simple. That isn't going to change, because salvation in that sense needs low time preference and work. Immediate gratification and degeneracy is much quicker in terms of "reward" for a country whose population is on auto pilot without a single critical thought.

Conformity rules in that type of scenario. They go the way way of UK, Australia, NZ, Germany, France and the Scandinavia. Low testosterone in men (failures of natural selection) and high Testosterone in females. This situation is self sustenaining because the failures of natural selection in the male population far exceeds the population of strong men.

This time? Strong men don't make good times because their just isn't enough of them, and if they are stuck convincing themselves a godKing is going to save them - then they are out of ideas as well.

Hard truths.

Hence why I'm leaving as soon as my daughters papers are ready.

Good luck
