 Thanks Nadia ☺️

Absence of tech is definitely part of it. I think it’s why Bitcoin is often likened to the harnessing of fire, or the wheel. It allows us to do things that were previously impossible.

Jeff touches on how each generation/societal cycle is “tricked” into thinking that the status quo system is the way it has to be, and asks why we would think we haven’t been tricked too, at least until now. 

He focuses on each of our personal responsibility to make this change happen, which I took to mean stop contributing more energy, more falseness, to the existing framework and to instead make the complete (if perhaps gradual) transition into this new, better, *viably* optimistic world.

Looking forward to your additional “musings from the fiat mine” 🤝 
 Thank you and looking forward to more conversations like this on Nostr.

There is always lot to think about after these podcasts…and it’s important for me to challenge the idealist in me.
