 Yo, I went for a run today and listened to Steph Pomboy and Natalie Brunell talk about the recession we’re in.

All I could think about was all the people around me who work fiat jobs, save in fiat, and have no real hard assets.

The founder of Macro Mavens, a renowned economic research firm, says she has LITTLE FIAT in her bank account because she knows the Federal Reserve has ruined this country.

How can you wake up the people around you? How can they not see it? 
 You build. You provide superior value. You keep low time preference.  
 Most of them will have to learn it themselves. People don't like being told to adopt conclusions of others. We are stubborn beings. 
 by the way: maybe sometimes nostr can help. I don't have a tiktok account, do you? Tell her about the primal app, she seems to be quite open minded. Help her collecting her zaps here... 🧡⚡💜

 Told her, she’s reading about it. A female encouraging her will help 🤞🏽 
 It’s hard to convince people to get on the ark when they don’t even know it’s raining. 
 Much as ‘everyone gets bitcoin at the price they deserve’, they all wake up at different times.  
Patience, as in most things, is key to helping.

"Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself." 
 Sadly I only silently weep for those who are not awake. 

You cannot save. You can only, IMO, keep building and being the change. The ones that ask questions may be saved. 

Further that, not much you can do unfortunately. 
 Steph is awesome, love her! 
 I find the information overwhelming for most if not in the right context.  I just try to be ready to give a meaningful answer.  when someone is ready to listen they will tell you.
