Svetski Wake Up Podcast
Aleks Svetski
The world is largely asleep.
We're living in a time where our freedoms are slowly being encroached upon, but because we're addicted to mediocre bullshit, we ignore it.
Our money no longer represents our work, time or effort, the freedom to speak out is obstructed under the guise of "diversity, inclusion and safety", privacy is no longer respected and surveillance has become mainstream "for our protection".
Wake up is dedicated to helping ensure V for Vendetta and 1984 remain works of fiction.
Topics will include Bitcoin, Money, Freedom, Philosophy, Psychology, Science, Ethics & more

- Our current 400-year golden age beginning with the decentralization of the printing press
- What elements of this 400yrs were most golden?
- What evidence do we have to the contrary?
- We even looked at Chinese history.
Fascinating Stuff.

The Separation of Economy & Politik
The final Cantillon effect: NVK
"Violence tends to local monopoly"

Why Bitcoin is NOT a Store of Value - At least in the way people think of it.
The store of value narrative is prematurely understood

Ep 83: Responsibility Go Up Technology, with CJ Wilson
CJ Wilson joins me again to continue our conversation. In this episode we hit Responsibility and a whole series of unpopular political opinions, including the Shitcoin that is democracy.
Responsibility Go Up Technology
Responsibility hot potato.
UnPopular Opinions
Suffrage hurt the world more than central banking.
Popularity contest winners. Why voting doesn’t work.
Hitler didn’t claim power. He earned it.
Imagine if you have to pay to be in politics? We'd fix it.
We may even have real nobility once again.
