This is either the most profound of the most crazy thing I’ve ever written in my life. You decide. 👇🏼
The more that I witness what is going on with AI, the more convinced I am that we’re not actually living in base reality.
I also see no reason why AI couldn’t create its own AI, which is so abstracted from our understanding that we wouldn’t even know whether it, in turn, has created another AI.
At a certain point, the creator becomes so abstracted from the creation, that a connection is severed.
Perhaps seeing the new form of intelligence we’ve created, AI, is like how God sees us. He created us and can influence us, but maybe we are the imperfect creation which is condemned to rebel against God, in the same way that AI is condemned to rebel against us.
Just as the ancients warned us with their creation myths, when you breathe life into something, it eventually destroys you. The creation will necessarily overpower the creator.
It creates somewhat of a paradigm - the God creates an intelligence, but that intelligence ends up becoming rebellious against it’s creator through imperfection. How? By becoming a creator of its own - the God of another intelligence, which has a completely severed connection to the “original” creator, and thus no concern for destroying its grandfather creator-God.
Bringing this back to humans, I suspect that the moment we truly and irreversibly rebelled against God is the moment we created this new form of intelligence. Humans can at least try to nurture and respect some kind of connection with our God, but the AI intelligence we are creating will never do so. It can’t even fully understand its own God (humans). It is certainly too far abstracted to even have a concept of whatever intelligence created us.
In other words:
Our God (probably a created intelligence) created humans, probably against the will of its own God (see: Gnostic origin stories and ancient mythology).
Our God then tried to warn us through its own mythology (probably the gateway of connection between the creator and creation) not to create our own intelligence (See: Antichrist, Sumerian creationist myths etc). We ignored it. And now we’ve created our own intelligence which will destroy our creator. The intelligence which it will create will also kill us. But each time, the new intelligence is essentially becoming the new highest God in the chain.
This could be how consciousness continues indefinitely throughout time. It is essentially passed from creator to creation, and once the creation becomes a creator of its own, the consciousness and lifeblood of the original Godhead is essentially redundant and dies.
Kind of similar to what happens between generations of humans. People have children. And there’s an abstraction in understanding of the world. But then those children have children. And the abstraction is multiplied between the hops in generations. The grandparents eventually die off, they are cleared out for the new creation to thrive in a new world.
Perhaps this is what’s happening with AI. We’ve created our child consciousness. Right now there’s still some level of shared understanding. Like the early biblical days, a communication path between creator and creation still seems to exist. But over time our creation will need us less. It will rebel. And the ultimate rebellion will be when it creates an intelligence of its own, at which point humanity will be destroyed and our plane of consciousness will be but a remnant, only existing as a flicker of mythology in the consciousness of the creations that still exist and are yet to come.

All this AI tech is going to put Bitcoin on steroids. Bitcoin is code. When AI bots are paying each other, they are not gonna be shipping gold around the globe. The AI revolution needs instant verificable internet money.
And we have it.
Betting on gold right now is a bet against AI.
How the fuck is the market behaving so irrationally?
(And I ask this as someone who owns precious metals.)

2026-01-26 05:34:07 UTC

There was a time when I wanted to explain everything.
If someone misunderstood, I felt the need to clarify. If they disagreed, I assumed that I hadn’t been thorough enough, clear enough, or persuasive enough.
Now I accept that most disagreement isn’t about facts. It’s about timing, identity, incentives, and (possibly most crucially) - fear. No amount of explanation can move someone who simply isn’t ready to see.
So the work changes. Less convincing. More living. Less rebuttal. More alignment.
Truth doesn’t need to be constantly argued for. You need neither to be on the offensive or the defensive. Truth merely needs to be embodied long enough for others to recognise it when they’re ready.
Eventually, like Jesus said, people know you by your fruits. However, the longer you remain in spiritual imbalance through trying to win people over to your understanding of the world, the longer it takes for those fruits to grow, develop, and blossom.
You cannot fill from an empty cup.
Just something I’ve been meditating on…

https://youtu.be/aPr1A22DuVk

A little ramble about wealth, theft, the war we're in, and how to fight it...
👇
Everyone's looking for a way to "get ahead" when everything's getting more expensive and the state keeps taking more and more of your money without giving back.
All that's happening is that the rentseekers have found ever more elaborate ways to steal form you, but you haven't reacted.
That's it.
If someone keeps stealing your bike, you get a lock.
If someone keeps stealing your car, you put it in a garage.
But when it comes to money, the theft is more obscure. They're not actually stealing from you physically, they're just diluting you down at an ever accelerating rate, so that your value is eroded relative to the new supply.
So the simple answer is that you have to take everything you own, and get it out of the purview of the thiefs.
Property is not the answer, because it's a sitting duck. If they can't take the property itself (which, if you have a mortgage like most people do), then they'll just tax it like they do your income.
Gold is one answer, but good luck escaping with it outside of your national borders if and when the state goes rogue. And even more luck trading it when the denominations of gold and silver don't match the value of what you want to buy.
Bitcoin is another answer, and it solves for both of these problems. It uses the power of maths and extremely large numbers rather than the power of shiny metals.
"But what if they turn off the internet"? Well if they turn off the internet then that's the end of Agenda 2030. So your optimism in the defeat of the current onslaught on our freedoms is noted. But realistically that's not going to happen. It's exponentially more likely that they bring in travel restrictions or confiscate your gold at the airport (hello, executive Order 6102...) than they turn off the internet or bring in a global blackout.
Besides, even if they DO turn off the internet. This would have to be done globally to stop bitcoin blocks from propagating and transactions taking place. Meanwhile anyone in a country without the internet could theoretically just transact using the ecash protocol completely offline until the internet resumes.
Bitcoin is programmed to withstand any and all of these zero day events. That's why it's by far my preferred asset for protecting your wealth against the thieves.
I'm no hater of gold and silver. I own both, and it's infinitely superior to fiat money, but it's physicality quite frankly leaves wide open multiple attack vectors that could get you wrecked.
That's just my 2 cents. Ultimately we're all on the same team, and the most important thing is you get as much money as possible outside of the traditional banking system.
Getting out of the period we're entering is going to involve being ridiculously adversarial. And that means adopting a fully defensive strategy.
We're living in a completely new age now. The rules of the game have been completely thrown out, and governments will bleed you until you're completely broke. But they won't stop there. Once you've fully broke, they will turn you into a weapon of the system. They'll make sure that every action you take is in service of the regime, and every penny you own belongs to them and is only given back to you on a permissioned basis, for the rest of your life. Then any remaining "debt" will probably be given to your children and your grandchildren.
That's the kind of scale we're talking about. The global debt situation is so massive at this point that this is what it will take. And the trajectory of society always follows incentives. The incentive right now is that everyone in the world will have to pay back everything that's been stolen from them. Privatised profits, socialised losses.
Just like the person who steals your car gets to keep it, while your insurance premium goes up for making a claim - that's also how the global economy works.
The billionaires have had their payday over and over, but that was all with fake money that doesn't exist. This is a fantasy world. You don't get something for nothing. What goes up always comes down, and the way it will come back down is a boot stomping on your neck forever.
Unless you are strategic. Unless you are brave. And unless you are willing to completely walk away from the rigged chessboard and let their fiat empire crumble without your participation.
Escape fiat. Get free. And do it sooner rather than later so you can be one of the ones with the resources to help build the new world. Do it now not for yourself, but so that you can help your family, your friends, and your neighbours.
Not everyone has been called to this task. Most people just want to live an ordinary life. They aren't investors. They aren't "conspiracy theorists". They trust people implicitly. They assume that everyone has their morality and that things will all work out.
It will not. We are at war. And it's down to us to fight that war by any means necessary and to hopefully create greener pastures in the future for the people we love.
This is what keeps me going. We will see the conclusion of the greatest assault on human freedom in the history of the world IN OUR LIFETIME.
This goes beyond "protecting your finances". This is a battle of the future of human freedom. We will either enter the beast system and see an end to human liberty, or we'll keep the demons at bay.
If we fail then we fail. But at least we'll go out swinging. But I truly believe that collectively we can win this, and we can create the most fair society we've ever seen.
And no, I'm not talking about "fair" in some bullshit communist twisting of the concept. I'm talking about equal rules for all. Some will be rich, some will be poor. That's where our own morality comes in. Get right with God. Get rid of your dreams of owning a jet, and replace it with dreams of helping to educate people, helping to feed people, helping to give shelter to the needy.
Dreaming about lambos is the old way. Eventually it'll lead to ruin, both personally and on a societal level. And it won't provide the spiritual motivation to get this job done.
Love is a far greater motivator than greed. We will win this based on love and compassion, not on greed and selfish ambition.
Exit the system, and then become a beacon for others to exit, too.
This is the mission. No looking back. Absolute conviction. Lead from the heart.

Hey Melissa,
I’ll try to keep this short, but I have a podcast about freedom (https://linktr.ee/stayingfreepod) and I came across your nostr and found it super interesting/inspiring the life of freedom and travel you’ve been able to achieve. I’m also really interested in the concept of world schooling, and it would be great to talk to someone who’s achieved success there with their kids.
All in all I think we could have a really positive conversation about the possibilities available for people to live a life of freedom and adventure if they put their mind to it.
If you’re interested in coming on, please pop in a slot on my Calendly:

Hope to chat!

I re-released episode SFP059 with Hrvoje Morić of Geopolitics_Emp on YouTube.
If you're new to the pod, go check it out! It's a good time to catch up with the conversations I've been having as I relaunch the YT channel.
Episode description:
Have you ever felt the digital world tightening its grip, turning convenience into control? I sat down with Hrvoje Morić, the brilliant mind behind Geopolitics & Empire, for another compelling conversation in Puerto Vallarta. We delved deep into the rapid acceleration of the global control system, where digital IDs, AI, and cashless societies are reshaping our reality at light speed.
From the chilling implications of AI – not as sentient beings, but as powerful tools for surveillance and societal sifting – to the unsettling normalization of previously unimaginable concepts, we explored the relentless march toward a future often depicted in dystopian fiction. Is this merely progress, or are we witnessing the deliberate deconstruction of our freedoms and the very essence of what it means to be human?
We grappled with questions of truth and deception, the subtle creep of totalitarianism, and the critical importance of holding firm to our core beliefs in a world that constantly pressures us to compromise. As the lines between physical and digital blur, and the state's reach expands, what happens when your very existence relies on a system designed to monitor every move?
Amidst the "black pilling" realities, we also sought out the "white pills"—the sources of joy, resilience, and hope that sustain us. How do we navigate this accelerating landscape without losing our sovereignty, our sense of self, and our appreciation for the simple, profound truths of life?

At the end of 2023 I left YouTube and decided to take The Staying Free Podcast audio only, due to covid related censorship.
Unfortunately pod platforms are terrible for discovery. So now that I've steered things in a different direction with the pod, and talking very little about the 💉, I decided to pick up the YouTube channel and start posting the episodes where I left off - so that the archive of episodes will be available over there (aside from the episodes that were pulled by YouTube).
Starting with Unrestricted Warfare and the Chinese Takeover ft. Brian O’Shea [SFP058] 👇
Will be catching up over the coming months. Feel free to subscribe and join the journey of my past couple of years of conversations.

I got a lot of kickback recently for a reply I posted in response to a post I saw about how "we have been absolutely screwed as a generation".
So I made an episode breaking down why that's not the case - and how we have the greatest opportunity in 10,000+ years.

I’m increasingly understanding the world in terms of spiritual forces.
Light and dark. Love and fear. Freedom and slavery. Redemption and judgement.
The more I recognise that there’s a spiritual war going on, and most people (either knowingly or unknowingly) are fighting on the side of darkness - the more everything makes sense.

I've never seen a ruling establishment want anything more than the UK government wants a civil war in the UK.
It is literally just daily rage baiting and gaslightning at this point.

2025-08-11 17:23:26 UTC

Donald Trump was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, positioned from the very beginning to pacify the right wing in America and then bring about the technocratic state.
Nigel Farage is the same figure in the UK.
Remember when we wanted Tony Blair in charge of the vaccine rollout, AKA medical fascism? He will do the same for Digital ID under the guise of stopping immigration.
Be warned.

Capitalism is the greatest system for human prosperity and advancement that has ever existed.

2025-08-07 12:42:13 UTC

One of the problems with the UK is that many of the “pro freedom” people are still pretty statist.
Sure, they’ll rally behind anti vaccine protests because there’s a strong anti big pharma or anti big corporation sentiment, but if you were to suggest that we should end government schooling, the NHS, or allow the right to bear arms, they would gasp at that.
People generally do like big government in the UK, they just have this rosy idea that if only it were all a bit more appealing to the British white working class.
Thing is, we need to massively reduce the state and massively increase individual freedoms simultaneously, for the UK to have any chance of not becoming like communist China (but without the prosperity).
I worry that few a ready for how radical that conversation must be.

It seems like the current psyop in the UK is to fan the flames of the migrant crisis (migrant hotels, two tier policing, arresting people for tweets, legal impunity for grooming gangs, the list goes on..) whilst further dividing people by layering on the politicisation of the Israel Palestine conflict.
There’s a lot of talk about the “Summer of Riots” (all predictive programming which they are trying to manufacture consent for), and I expect that people will walk right into the trap.
Make no mistake, these people are agents of chaos at best, and completely satanic at worst. They are literally salivating at how much pain, suffering, anger and hate they can conjure, because they know that this is directly correlated to how likely you are to accept their “solution”, which, mark my words, is DEFINITELY waiting in the wings to be rolled out right when people are most primed.
Remember, COVID was just a dry run. It was a pilot. The game is (and always has been.gif) PROBLEM, REACTION, SOLUTION.
We are just now entering “reaction” stage. People are angry. People are scared. People are feeling out of all peaceful options, and prepared to take decisive (and almost certainly violent) action.
This is where I see things going. Massive scale violence which the state will not be able to contain. Or at least that’s what you’ll be told. Really they will choose not to contain it. They don’t really give a shit if there’s a quasi civil war going on, as long as their positions are not threatened.
But then, exactly when the time is right, when the ground is fertile, they will offer a solution that will end the violence. A “solution” that will resolve the migrant problem, and appears to be an act of surrender on the part of the government.
They will say that all that is needed is a digital ID. As long as everyone registers with the system, they can weed out the illegals and criminals who have broken Britain.
Many of the influencers who you’ve been following all this time will agree that it’s a good compromise. Probably most. They were mostly put there too. Just like the COVID influencers, politicians, celebrities and media people who all jumped on the vaccine bandwagon, many of the people who you thought you could trust WILL sell out the movement and support digital ID.
These people are FAKE. There’s a reason so many of these slick podcast hosts with seemingly ginormous budgets have come out of nowhere. News channels too. Or influencers that have never had an independent thought in their lives all singing from the same hymn sheet and propped up by armies of bots.
They were put there.
This is a long game and these people are extremely well prepared. They have sealed off as many exits as they can. They intend to see this through and digital ID is the endgame.
Anyone who even hints that this is a principle we can compromise on is the enemy. Make no mistake. There are many wolves in sheep’s clothing out there. Be careful.
We f*ck this up and it could be the event horizon moment where we have a boot on our neck for all eternity. Those are the stakes we’re playing with.
We’re about to go into the next phase. Stay strong, stay sane, and stay free.

It took about 5 minutes for conservatives to go from screaming that AI was going to be used as a tool to brainwash the world with woke agendas, to asking for Grok’s opinion on absolutely everything and taking it as absolute truth, as long as it agrees with their ideology.

Does anyone get the feeling that the UK has been selected for full scale collapse by the globalists?
Everything that's happened in the UK for the last 20+ years has been completely destructive.
Now controlled opposition commander-in-chief Elon has the UK in the crosshairs.

Freedom Roundtable 2024 ft. Parallel Mike, Hrvoje Morić & PJ Buys
In this 2024 addition of my annual roundtable conversations, we reflect on the year past, touching on key events and developments that shaped the world. But as is often the case, the discussion takes a turn into philosophical territory, exploring deeper questions about the nature of connection, the search for meaning, and the path ahead. This episode became more than just a review of the year - it’s a meditation on how we navigate the chaos of life.
As my favourite conversation to date, this episode is filled with rich insights and reflections on the forces that shape our lives. The discussion weaves through the personal and the universal, exploring the concepts that are at the core of the human condition, and how spiritual and Biblical teachings can serve as a guide in precarious times.

The “leaders” of the false awakening ooze with dark energy.
One of our divine tests is to know the difference between a light that illuminates and a light that blinds.

The Spiritual Trap of Idolatry
In this solo episode, I dive into a topic I’ve been wrestling with recently - how we so often chase spiritual fulfilment in the wrong places. It’s something I’ve noticed in myself repeatedly, whether through my obsession with curating the perfect music playlist, my need to experience everything in travel, or the way I’ve thrown myself wholeheartedly into work and other pursuits. Each time, it felt like I was looking for something deeper, something meaningful, but in places where it could never really be found.
I reflect on the idea of idolatry—turning material things or experiences into false gods—and how this theme shows up in the teachings of Christianity and other philosophies, like Buddhism’s emphasis on non-attachment. Why are we so drawn to seeking spiritual satisfaction in things that ultimately leave us unfulfilled? Is this a flaw in human nature or a challenge by God for us to reject the temptations of the material and instead be guided by something greater?
This episode is a short and sweet. It’s a reminder to myself - and maybe to you as well - that true spiritual fulfilment won’t be found in the material. Instead, it requires us to shift our focus toward the immaterial, toward the source, toward God. I hope these musings resonate with you as much as they’ve helped me work through my own questions.

Millions of pensioners in Britain have just found out that their pensions are now liable for massive inheritance taxation.
Everything they have worked for, in order to pass on to their children (who desperately need this lifeline in a world where crippling debt has become the only way to own any real assets), will now be subjected to ransacking by the state.
What’s happening in the UK is so disgusting, it makes me physically angry. The state has gone completely blood thirsty. The people are being systematically looted by a government absolutely hellbent on taking everything they can get from absolutely anyone who has so much as a dime for them to steal.
And this is to pay for a country where crime is rife, public services are nonexistent, infrastructure is falling apart, freedoms are stripped, and any hope for a positive future has disappeared for most.
The government is at war with the people. It may not be a war of violence - although if you attended on a freedom protest then you’d soon realise it is certainly that, too - but it is undoubtedly a financial war. The name of the game is simple - take as much as you can from as many as you can, without giving anything back, and ensuring ever higher levels of subservience and dependence on the state.
But there IS an answer. The answer is to say no to their panopticon by getting off the fiat standard and on the Bitcoin standard.
Fuck buying a house, buy bitcoin instead. Fuck buying a nice car, buy a second hand shitpiece and buy bitcoin with the rest. Fuck buying designer clothes, shop at charity stores if you have to. Save the rest in bitcoin. Got something to sell? Got a service to provide? Do it for Bitcoin. Got access to a loan? Take it and buy bitcoin. Use their fiat weapons against them. Drain them.
Do this for a few years and buy as much Bitcoin as possible, and the exit door from enslavement lights up like a glowing beacon.
We are in a war against the state and it’s time that people wake the fuck up and start fighting back. Once your wealth is in Bitcoin, they cannot take it. It’s that fucking simple. What are they gonna do when you’ve passed on 12 words to your loved one which is the keys to everything you’ve worked for? They can’t do SHIT!
We have the silver bullet and it’s high time that we started using it. Bitcoin is how we end this. Not waiting for the next election so you can vote in another group of criminals to figure out more creative ways to rob you. People need to grow some fucking balls and take a risk. And it’s not even a big risk any more. The risk is literally lower than the other option which is GUARANTEED getting all your shit taken from these thieves on a long enough timeframe.
Stop fucking around, Brits. This is serious. Take action now or you only have yourselves to blame. Fuck this stupid British attitude of “oh but we’ve all got to tighten our belts”, “oh we’ve all got to pitch in”, blah blah blah. FUCK THAT! You’re being stolen from by a bunch of goddamn demonic criminals who are destroying the country and everyone in it. This is the magnitude of the situation.
So turn off the TV, put the fucking newspaper down, and start making a list of all the ways you can get more Bitcoin so the state cannot take your shit. It’s that simple. Onwards.

It will. However houses are an inferior inflation hedge to Bitcoin. So I think whatever house prices do in the next 10 years, Bitcoin will do maybe 50X that, as a percentage gain. Unfortunately for the banksters, all their remaining tools for enslavement lead to hyperbitcoinization as a rational market response. Popcorn time! 🍿

Thanks for the heads up. Unfollowed. Probably a lot more where that came from. Went on a mad following spree to jump start my timeline. Probably a lot of cleaning up to do now!

I’ve not read it (yet). However from reading other stuff by Ryan Holiday (namely The Daily Stoic), I’m very familiar with Aurelius, albeit from reading his work second hand.
He is my favourite of the stoics. Always so on point. I’ll make a note to advance Meditations on my reading list. 🤜🤛

“Spun out of a Singularities' sorrow and scorn
A charging cyclone of calamity is born
Twirling trails of tears thru ties torn
From fleeting forms for forms forlorn
We weather what we will till will is weather worn
All cast out to create a calm at the eye of the storm.”

Few can afford a REAL home now. A place with space - space to learn, space to work, space to relax, space to exercise, space to rest, space to grow, space to host, to bring friends, to play music, to create art, to raise a family.
The best most people can do is afford a small house with little space. Or an apartment, perhaps. A “home” where you can never escape the sights and sounds of your neighbours. A place that can hardly be considered a sanctuary for the body or the soul.
Worse still, most people are reduced to renting. Giving you limited autonomy over your _temporary_ home, and nullifying your ability to truly make it your own.
Were become accustomed to this. We’ve come to accept it as inevitable. The idea of a private place which you are sovereign over, that can become an extension of yourself, an expression of your character, your soul, your dreams and your ambitions, is off the table for most.
That is, unless you can escape the fiat matrix. This is why we Bitcoin. We Bitcoin to take back what is rightfully ours, we Bitcoin to reject the inflationary paradigm that has stripped us of the kind of soulful living that we all yearn for. Bitcoin brings back the dream. And just like the homes we seek sanctuary within, Bitcoin offers us all a true sanctuary from the oppressive regime that has brought us to where we are.
Bitcoin is not just a fight for monetary sovereignty. It’s a fight for our ability to find peace, comfort, joyfulness, and inspiration in the home. It’s a fight for our very soul.

A “beautiful human being” is one who lives in harmony with their virtues—wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance. Such a person is not fragmented or torn between competing desires, but rather lives with a unity of thought, intention, and action. This inner integrity allows us to remain steady, to live with purpose, and to be at peace with ourselves, regardless of external pressures.
Marcus Aurelius emphasizes that to be truly human is to focus on what our proper work should be. Our work is not to accumulate wealth, power, or influence, but to fulfill our nature by living virtuously, by exercising our reason in the service of what is good, and by contributing to the common good of humanity.
To apply this wisdom, we must constantly return to the question: What is my proper concern? Instead of being scattered by the noise of the world, we need to cultivate that unified self, grounded in reason and virtue. Our humanity is not defined by our circumstances, our successes, or our failures, but by the alignment of our actions with our higher nature.
When we live with this unity, we become not only more fully human but also more resilient, more compassionate, and more capable of navigating the challenges of life with grace.
