1. If you really think about it…not a single one of us can know the future for sure but the one thing I know for sure is that the past sounds pretty shitty and I am willing to step into the Bitcoin future for sure – no matter how long it takes to get here….I just hope I can convince my kids and my grandkids and we can keep this future growing and thriving!

2. What a banger!! Saylor’s mind is a treasure trove of insights. This is like a university course for free

3. Patrick: you don't have to send your children to die for a king or get their arms cut off.

   The US government: ….

4. Saif, is Patrick your white name? (16:15) 😜

5. Thank you.

6. Sadly, we humans haven't changed. For example, you can be put to death for being homosexual in Uganda today.

7. It helps if you take the land from a weak, unarmed people, as the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians. Palestinians, by the way, had documentation of ownership of their land.

8. We are so lucky to be alive with Michael Saylor who is quite possibly one of the smartest people ever to walk this planet. Incredible insight as always.

9. "Conceived in Liberty" by Murray Rothbard, has faced lots of criticism for several reasons:
   – Biased Approach: Rothbard's heavy reliance on Austrian economics and libertarian ideology can result in a biased interpretation of history, where his personal views sometimes overshadow factual events.
   – Imbalanced Narrative: Rothbard's strong libertarian stance may lead to an imbalanced narrative, as he is seen as neglecting or downplaying aspects of history that don't align with his ideology, potentially leaving gaps in the understanding of events.
   – Simplification: Rothbard's writing style simplifies complex historical and economic concepts, making the book accessible but potentially oversimplifying intricate historical events and economic systems.
   – Narrow Focus: Rothbard's emphasis on economic factors as the primary driver of historical events neglect the role of social, cultural, and political factors in shaping American history.
   – Controversial Interpretations: Rothbard's libertarian perspective has led to interpretations of key events, such as the American Revolution, that differ significantly from mainstream historical accounts, leading to disputes among historians.

   In a nutshell: it is a piece of writing similar to those we find in cults. Anyone can confirm this by the behaviour of those who are his fans and never accept any criticism because they worship Rothbard as some people worship religious leaders.

10. I can only see our freedom being eroded to zero you just got a taste of Andrew Tate Jordan Peterson it's obvious to any one with a micron of self thought this doesn't come across as credible

11. Patrick newman a genius

12. Absolutely amazing conversation between three of the most knowledgeable guys on economic history – thank you!

13. Such a good listen!

    Couldn’t help but laugh as he described how the native Americans got screws over and over and over again. They certainly got the short end of the stick. Goes to show that private property rights, technology, and innovation triumph again and again

14. The Michael Saylor I was died forever.

    The Patrick Newman I was died forever.

15. Most people miss this, so don't take this as a criticism, but the "separation of church and state" is a Christian principal based on Sphere of Sovernty Doctrine and that is why the Cristian founders of America adopted it. Likewise natural rights, the modern justice system, "liberalism" and scientific rationalism are outgrowths of Christian Presuppositions. In other words all the societal and organizing best practices listed by these two are religious in origin and nature (still today). It is true there was much evil, corruption and failure that took place to get us there but several of their dichotomies are false and irrational or best case over-simplified. BTC FTW.

16. Very good

17. Does priciples of economics cover primordial economic dynamics?

18. Why do Millennials refuse to pronounce their t

19. I've started on the 60 hour version of Conceived in Liberty on audiobook. Is there any way you could share the rest of that list you passed to Michael Saylor for those who are driven to read and learn more?? Cliff Janke, El Paso Texas.

20. 5 Myths

    We are controlled by 5 MYTHS; in order they are: 1 Religion, 2 Law, 3. Money, 4 The Nation State and 5 Ownership. All myths!
    
    All human behaviour in modern times is controlled by a "hierarchy" of 5 MYTHS! Myth 1. RELIGION ( belief in someone's version of right and wrong, good and bad – with a "Fear Narrative; " do the right thing and you will be rewarded in some mythical place (and conversely, you will be punished if you stop believing) – Then, as people questioned this "Blind Faith" system, it was immediately backed up with the second myth in the hierarchy; Myth 2. LAW – As faith failed to control people, force was used to get people to comply. Myth 3. MONEY -paying the self-appointed leaders and "landowners" for food to eat and to pay troops "loyal" to those enforcing the law (false trust) and those spreading religious nonsense and fear. Myth 4. "THE NATION STATE," wrap people in a flag and tell them the "others" (wrapped in other flags, with different religion, laws and leaders who (we are usually told) "want your stuff" and to change the way you live ( “loss of liberty” threat) what’s worse, they are "coming to get you"; so you need to fight for your "rights" (which we also just “invented”). This logical sequence of events required the 5th and final Myth in the hierarchy; – 5. "OWNERSHIP"; How can a human own a piece of a 4.5-billion-year-old planet that no one has any "right" to above any other? If I take something from you by force, is it mine? Historical conquests and even as far back to when we were forager hunters 200 000 years ago (which we were for 93% of our existence remember!) does not mean we "own" the land and can pass it on for generations because someone won a battle for some king or leader? How stupid! Says who? MYTHS! all of it.
    
    (Quite brilliant for controlling behaviour, BUT it’s only as real as we choose to make it, we invented this "Society", we can end it by living differently, fairly and without fear being a key driver of our identity. #Bitcoin

21. I never knew that Michael Saylor is such a huge intellectual.

22. There are huge ancient pyramids in America.

23. Yes, the replacement of DOI with the Articles of Federation and Constitution is the most disastrous part of American history.

24. The archeology shows that they had great technologies and civilization at some point. But we do not know what happened to it. it probably got killed and destroyed by wars and socialistic economies.

25. Yes, we won with guerilla warfare. That is why British historians call us pirates (The older term for terrorist).

26. America was a Newfoundland. People who were tired of tyranny built Anarchy, which lasted for a long time, especially on the West Coast, built the richest and largest economy ever and fastest declines in poverty rates ever. But imperial powers ultimately tricked people into a constitutional republic, and that was the end of the great American experiment on liberty. We will not get back it unless people truly recognize the biggest enemies of freedom, governments and organized religions, again.

27. Cacciatori raccoglitori non avevano un aspettativa di vita di 35 anni che invece è la media, l'aspettativa media di vita degli europei del tempo non credo fosse molto migliore

28. It’s amazing the way Saylor can communicate ideas and stories, loved the segment when he spoked about the different empires colonizing the continent of America, specifically about the rulers being so far away to enforce their rules, myself being from south America, there’s this curious event that happened with the portuguese empire prior to Napoleon reaching their territory they decided to move all of their empire’s administrative structure as well as the emperor and all of its noblemen to brazil, crazy story

29. Feels like The Enlightenment 9.0.

30. This would have a million views already if more people had actual intellectual curiosity

31. 1:44:39 #Bitcoin isnt a more powerful currency than #Gold bc bitcoin imo hasnt even lasted a whole century yet meanwhile gold & #Silver have been around for thousands of years. Bitcoin has the capability of being more powerful than gold but only if its a proven store of value nd its got at least 💯 years under its belt

32. Saylor doesn't understand how secession would work, and his comments are similar to how most people react when they first hear about it. Just like me, when I first learned about it. Saif, you will need to explain it to Saylor.

33. This is an amazing time-saver for people who want to focus on solutions. Rothbard is almost perfect in his historical analysis…but grotesquely flawed when proposing solutions (though, not as flawed as SEK3).

34. To paraphrase: the land was awesome, religions and corruption kept messing with things, meanwhile, thankfully everyone just wanted to Netflix and Chill.

35. Um…there was plenty of "reason" prior to the enlightenment. However, the eventual loss of private property through the seeds of Marxism ….now that DID begin with the enlightenment.

36. .

37. I am going to start listening to it right after this Pod.

38. I love imagining so-called Woke people's heads exploding, as these guys speak uncomfortable truths about the state of the indigenous tribes.

    On the other hand, we all know that so-called Woke people won't listen to this, because it is not part of their dogma.

39. Michael Saylor, a modern day Prometheus, bringing the fire of bitcoin engineering knowledge and liberty to the masses.
    My principal professional objective is to introduce intelligence as the ubiquitous utility. I'd like to be the Thomas Edison of intelligence.

    ― Friedrich Nietzsche, The Will to Power
    “And do you know what “the world” is to me? Shall I show it to you in my mirror? This world: a monster of energy, without beginning, without end; a firm, iron magnitude of force that does not grow bigger or smaller, that does not expend itself but only transforms itself; as a whole, of unalterable size, a household without expenses or losses, but likewise without increase or income; enclosed by “nothingness” as by a boundary; not something blurry or wasted, not something endlessly extended, but set in a definite space as a definite force, and not a space that might be “empty” here or there, but rather as force throughout, as a play of forces and waves of forces, at the same time one and many, increasing here and at the same time decreasing there; a sea of forces flowing and rushing together, eternally changing, eternally flooding back, with tremendous years of recurrence, with an ebb and a flood of its forms; out of the simplest forms striving toward the most complex, out of the stillest, most rigid, coldest forms striving toward the hottest, most turbulent, most self-contradictory, and then again returning home to the simple out of this abundance, out of the play of contradictions back to the joy of concord, still affirming itself in this uniformity of its courses and its years, blessing itself as that which must return eternally, as a becoming that knows no satiety, no disgust, no weariness: this, my Dionysian world of the eternally self- creating, the eternally self-destroying, this mystery world of the twofold voluptuous delight, my “beyond good and evil,” without goal, unless the joy of the circle is itself a goal; without will, unless a ring feels good will toward itself— do you want a name for this world? A solution for all of its riddles? A light for you, too, you best-concealed, strongest, most intrepid, most midnightly men?— This world is the will to power—and nothing besides! And you yourselves are also this will to power—and nothing besides!

40. We keep hearing the repeating story of the people rebelling against their ruler in European and early American times. Yet I am interested in the dynamic between Indians and their tribe. Did they hate it as much? I think not.

41. Wind him up. Let him go. Pay attention and take notes…

42. That's a real Van Gogh behind him. He just used an old TV as the frame.

43. Saylor would've made a great Hollywood screenwriter.

44. man… this guy should've let Saylor talk more… when you speak to Michael Saylor you have to remind yourself you were given two ears and one mouth for a reason…
