But it doesn't mean that it's something that has to persist forever. Like, clearly it's better today than it was in the days of Ancient Egypt, per se. So perhaps nationalism itself was some form of servitude we've been evolving past for a long time.

I think Nietzsche has this quote about "In order to be free, you have to be a slave, at some point", like you have to progress through slavery to achieve freedom. Maybe it was necessary to bootstrap ourselves to this point of the digital age, or something like that. I view this as some kind of like, perhaps it's a limiting framework, it's a limiting geopolitical framework. I can think what we're so caught up in this fabric of nationalism today, where we think we need these imaginary lines drawn all over the planet, and that's just how human beings will get along because that's how we've always gotten along. So, by reason then, and anything that's interrupting that flow is actually taking the sustenance of others, and it's something that's intrinsically destabilizing. We are creating more with less, we're accomplishing greater results with less effort. So, therefore, anything that contributes to additional energy throughput, or additional flow is inherently good in civilizing. That's what trade and innovation are, right? They are force multipliers for human beings. This is electricity, this is running water, this is food availability, this is economization of any human action effectively. And if we think about civilization itself, it's indistinguishable from increasing the flow of useful energy. So, I'll try to just speak to a few things that I've been looking at on the physics path, which this is, again, I credit, largely to Saylor and, Jason, your work as well, that just really starting to look at the world in terms of energy. But it's in that contemplation and in the implementation, it's somehow becoming like a self-fulfilling prophecy in a lot of ways, which is super interesting. We're really trying to get to the bottom of things in a very new and interesting way. So, I think what's happening with Bitcoin is that it's kind of like a gateway into this deeper ontological reflection. He said actually, "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, then you should think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration." And this is something Peterson goes into a lot too, that what we really see at the furthest reaches of science today, like especially in quantum and whatnot, is we see this infinite flux of interacting patterns, right? There's no stuff in the universe, it's all energy, all of it.

line across all these different dimensions, right? Like, human beings clearly were physical.īut as you know, there's a great quote by Tesla.
