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Our money no longer represents our work, time or effort, the freedom to speak out is obstructed under the guise of "diversity, inclusion and safety", privacy is no longer respected and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

Ep. 64 Free Private Cities
I’m joined by Titus Gebel creator of the Free Private Cities concept, CEO of Tipolis and Peter Young, MD of Free Private Cities Foundation.
In the midst of the political madness rampant in the world today, ie; a cold, scam war of the people over the past 2yrs wasn’t enough, so it’s now time for a hot war…..I wanted to explore alternatives and how we can work on getting the fuck out of this mess.
We covered a broad range of topics, including:
>Why Free Private Cities change the incentive structure of the standard social Democratic political model, helping people lower their time preference and preserve capital into the future
>Why it’s important to move beyond complaining about the status quo, and make a concrete business proposal backed by real investment
>The progress that is being made in Free Private Cities-aligned projects like Próspera and Morazan in Honduras. What successes there have been and what risks there are to the projects
>Why bitcoin will provide the financial infrastructure for Free Private Cities
>Why Bitcoin City represents an opportunity for El Salvador to innovate in the realm of governance, in addition to their innovation in the realm of bitcoin adoption
> How scale matters for governance
> Welfare, Work & Immigration
> Why do people push back on this idea when it’s so evidently superior?
> Are the current incarnations of private cities fee-based or do they have to operate some form of tax model because of current statist & globalist organisations?
What does the future look like?
- Patchwork or league of private city-states?
- CEO-Kings
What are the risks?
- Contractual changes
- Relationship with host nation.
- Property acquired in a private city being confiscated.
The only long term way to ensure governments of any kind remain service providers, and not devolve into overlords, is to keep them economically accountable.
Without bitcoin, we don’t get private cities.
With Bitcoin, it’s not just necessary, it’s inevitable.
Placing the money in the realm of the physical laws on nature.
The most powerful private property.

Ep. 62 Nietzsche, Morality & Artificial Intelligence.
Robert Malka, researcher, philosopher and Bitcoiner joins me for a monster episode to discuss Artificial Intelligence, Philosophy, Morality, Bitcoin, Nietzsche and so much more.
We start with a bit of background and what has to be the most incredible origin stories I've ever heard.
- His experience having been born to deaf parents
- Some incredible stories growing up as child sign language interpreter
- Inspirations such as Nietzsche & Heidegger
- Ayahuasca and psychedelics
- When they're fiat and when they're actually useful.
- The productisation of psychedelics as panaceas to ailments and all the world's problems.
- Nature VS Nurture
We then dug into Philosophy & Morality
- Rousseau and Nietzsche
- Humanity is a a multi-generational process.
- A genius is a full answer to this process.
- How do you define morality?
- Living in accordance with evolution and life.
- Morality is the increase of carrying capacity of life.
- Aesthetics & Beauty, and their relationship to morality.
- Humour as a very interesting measure for humanity
The AI discussion:
The stakes of AI: Game-theoretically, if an AI is more powerful than we are, we'd have two choices:
1. a Libertarian AI or,
2. an Authoritarian AI,
- Which would win?
- What happens when AI becomes widely modifiable and accessible?
- Preferences and more importantly, which preferences?
- If subjective ones, are they rooted in morality or utilitarianism?
- The circular logic of using quantities to measure qualities
- What it means for an AI to be human-centered
Problem with The Standard Model:
Machines, similar to humans, are intelligent to the extent that their actions can be expected to achieve their objectives.
Instead:
"Machines are beneficial to the extent that their actions can be expected to achieve our objectives”
But more ethical and moral problems with this, and it's focus purely on utility as the outcome.
How does AI emerge?
Will we be programming it?
Or will it emerge and mimic us.
How does Bitcoin fix this?
The question will be one of whether or not we've baked morality into our DNA.
Homo Bitcoinicus.
There so much more in this episode.
You need to listen.
Finally, some books recommended by Robert include:
- The Drama of the gifted child: Alice Miller
- Emile: Rousseau
- Human Compatible: Stuart Russell
- Twilight of the Idols: Nietzsche
- Warspeak: Lise Van Boxel
- What is Life: Erwin Schrödinger

Ep. 60 Bitcoin as a Pioneer Species w/ Brandon Quittem
In Ep 60, one of my favourite Bitcoiners in the world, Brandon Quittem joins me to talk about #Bitcoin as a Pioneer Species.
He recently wrote an incredible essay, perhaps one of the GOAT's.
Exploring Bitcoin & Mining Through the Lens of Ecology
By @bquittem
https://medium.com/@BrandonQuittem/38f42ecdbb88
In this episode, we explore ALOT.
Why both Energy & Energy industry is widely misunderstand,
How it results in poor decision making
Big climate and ESG is a scam → we need to wake people up (otherwise they’re just agents waiting to be activated)
Energy abundance SHOULD be universally desired (it fits the traditional progressive agenda, but they’re blind to it)
GDP per capita = directly correlated to energy consumption
Bitcoin mining is the hardest part of bitcoin
Bitcoin mining is everything you don’t understand about energy combined with everything you don’t understand about Bitcoin.
“There is no optimistic version of the future in which humanity does not use significantly more energy than it does today.”
Symbiosis: Miners + Energy producers
How life colonizes a desolate environment for the first time.
Miners = Citadel seeds
Central Planning VS Emergent Organic, Decentralised Calculation & Action.
The idiots want to simplify humanity into a linear system, and the only way to do that is to transform diverse individuals into automatons, or numbers on a spreadsheet.
We could just as easily be a failed experiment of life, but we won’t stop life
100bn people theory
Energy mastery
Stars & the Great Lie
Explore VS Exploit
Ecology is primarily about energy (base of pyramid is plants)
Difficulty adjustment (isle royale) -- wolves vs moose
Prediction 1: Bitcoin Mining leads to Energy Abundance
Prediction 2: Early adopter countries will leapfrog laggards
Prediction 3: The Great Spreading Out
These citadels must succeed, for they have an important duty.
They must preserve the spark of freedom, for I fear it’s more fragile than we know.
Freedom is upstream of prosperity
Must Read Books:
Vaclac Smil: Energy & Civilisation
Alex Epstein: The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels
Bjorn Lomborg: False Alarm
Thankyou @bquittem for this magnificent piece and this conversation,.
The Bitcoin Times Ed 4 is now available for download, free. We will be publishing each edition, in high quality hard cover this year.

Ep. 59 What is "The Meta" - Meta Series Pt. 1
Trav, aka Parabolic Trav, aka Meta Trav joins me for a multi-part series to discuss The Meta.
In episode 1, we're gonna explore the initial question.
Wtf is "The Meta"?
We start with a bit of background:
An origin story to know how and why he got to an understanding of 'the meta'.
- Personal life
- Inspirations
- Movies
- Texts / books / information
Nature / Nurture
- Why did you read that book in the first place?
- Why you? Why the book?
The meta: The way
Video game concept of Meta
- Life is a game
- Different evolutionary metas are like patch upgrades
Meta Timelines and periods:
- Erectus
- Sapien
- Eden
- Crisis
- Neolithic
- Jesus
Technology lead to individual hunting and feeling of possession of kill (tournament males, and accompanying hypergamy).
Property as unadapted patch upgrade, lead to maladapted emotions “envy, greed”.
Story of my journey with evolutionary biology/nutrition, owning health studio and fixing clients.
Hardware (body), firmware (adapted emotions), software upgrades (the bible meta-truths - fixing broken emotions, Abraham sacrificing son, Jesus fixing envy, lust, greed).
Key insights: natural, sexual and technological selection leads to tournament males, hypergamy, the need for the teachings of Jesus
Amalgamated idea of current Meta given different evolutionary metas
Jesus successfully integrated the tournament male.
Religion is like Bro Science.
"Feedback" oriented discovery.
The Bible is basically a book of Bro Science
Where do you get your teachings from Jesus?
- Old Testament
- Walter Wink (Jesus's third way)
Notes from Aleks
- Spiral Dynamics
- The territorial imperative
- The Japanese (bushido)
- The Chinese (The Tao)
- Stoics and the ancients
Must Reads
- The nurture assumption
- Paleo Manifesto by John Durant
- Walter Wink (Jesus's third way)
- Red Pill Christianity - Forrest Maready

We discuss WTF is happening in NYC
Why is it important to be truthful?
Why is free speech important?
V Mandates
NY Mask mandates
Federal bill on Vx database
Action steps
Funding your Jailers
Why Bitcoin
I challenge him on how calling one’s “representatives” cannot help, when those reps are working on the basis of a moral hazard. Also on voting being a sham, because the only real vote that counts is where one allocates their economic energy.
This is an Orange-Pill episode, and for those who area already familiar with my work, I hope it gives you insight into how to orange pill other Remnants.
And for those who are new to my show, I hope it places you on the path to discovering more.

Ep. 57 Liberation vs Fiat Psychology Pt. 1 with Nozomi Hayase
Nozomi is a Bitcoiner & Liberation psychologist, which is basically the equivalent of an Austrian economist in the psychology space.
We dig into her background in liberation psychology, what it is, what it means, how it is different to the mainstream, victim-oriented psychology we've been conditioned to think is "normal".
We look at psychology’s denial of soul/monopoly of knowledge (‘experts’ promote a distorted view of humanity)
The battle over what it means to be human
Ex. B.F. Skinner’s behaviorism (that denies free will) VS Carl Rogers’ humanistic psychology (that advocates freedom of choice)
Psychologist James Hillman characterized this war:
“My war - and I have yet to win a decisive battle - is with the modes of thought and conditioned feelings that prevail in psychology and therefore also in the way we think and feel about our being. Of these conditions none are more tyrannical than the convictions that clamp the mind and heart into positivistic science (geneticism and computerism), economics (bottom-line capitalism), and single-minded faith (fundamentalism).”
We take a full on detour to explore the psyche of the Psychopath...
Some very interesting shit..
Nature VS nurture. What do u think I the mix?
What percentage of people are psychopathic?
Is psychopathy nature or nurture?
Who are the remnant?
Who are the sheep?
Who are the parasites?
How different are parasites & remnant?
What’s the evolutionary significance of the psychopath?
How long have psychopaths been around for?
Integration of the shadow element.
Psychopathy developed with the emergence of the ego.
So maybe it’s an unconditioned, or exaggerated ego?
At what point does it develop? Eg; teenagers.
Two sources that you should ALL dig into:
- Rudolf Steiner
- Valentine Tomberg (Meditation on the Tarot)
