Crushed it again Peter. Brandon Quittem is a very compelling thinker and speaker. Brilliantly articulate and well organized. Consider a quarterly update with Brandon.
@@joythought As a sound engineer, that's wonderful that someone's putting sound first for once, but completely unnecessary since they aren't talking at the same time, and it isn't live.
Wow fellas. This one was epic. Powerful. I'm going to share this with orange pillers and no pillers alike. Can't wait to hear your next episode together!
Sorta reminds me of the saying that if your not a lefty when you're young you dont have a heart, but if you're not a righty when you get older then you dont have a brain... It sorta comes with age, wisdom, experience, responsibilities, disappointments...
Everyone becomes a selfish miser when tax day comes. The human is inherently selfish and greedy which is why there needs to be laws and safeguards against that. Otherwise it’s a dystopian nightmare.
So I watched this following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022…eerie hearing Peter and Brandon discuss the potential conflicts a couple of months prior to it happening, but also predicting the coalescence of international resistance that has occurred. Makes the episode even more compelling. Thank you
Love the show! Kind of weird having the camera zoomed out so much. You can have them place as far away as they are but zoom in on the individual shots to frame them closer. It will be so much more comfortable for the viewer.
Such an amazing interview. You are on fire at the moment Peter, great interview after great interview. Also , I'm from Australia so would love to provide some of what I know regarding what you were talking about in Australia. DM me and I send you what I have researched and know what is going on here (or a way to email or something) Keep up the amazing work Peter!!
Reading this book, it was uncanny how well they predicted the dates (and mentioned potential types) of crisis happenings - being 2005 (ok it was 2008), and 2020. Fascinating read on generations creating different eras
We live in an archetypal cosmos and these turnings are very real though just a small part of the larger cycles. Starting to get there. Sovereignty is the key . . for now.
So, the fourth turning 80 or so years BEFORE the Revolutionary War...what happened then? Was that anything? Have these cycles been always happening or only in the last 250 years? Also, do these only apply to Western Civilization? What about the East? Questions.
These cycles have been happening for thousands of years. There are world cycles and national cycles. We have market super cycles and national ,world cycles coinciding now. The other side of this will be a completely different world.
All this discussion of cycles gets very specific and prescriptive. I’m pretty sold on the general concept of predictable actions and consequences, but there’s too much going on in the system to be so deterministic. Also, Eric Weinstein has a point: “strong men make good times and thermonuclear weapons…weak men and thermonuclear weapons make end times”. It’s always dangerous to say this time’s different, but our ancestors didn’t have nukes or the internet.
“Bitcoin is here, the cycles are over” This may actually be true in many ways for Bitcoiners… while the world is a mess, life has never been better for me and my family. Though I am sympathetic to the victims of money printing and medical discrimination
"IF" government & corporations team-up?? In latin we can say: "Consummatum Est" (it is done). And further: "Quod fieri non potest irritari (What is done cannot be undone). For more eloquent evidence of the team-up, see doc "Requiem for the American Dream" (Noam Chomsky)
Perhaps the quote you looked for, from Heraclitus (500BC): "Opposition brings concord, and from discord comes the fairest harmony." (From chaos/strife to balance & harmony -- ie 4th turning)
12 step programs have a similar ability as far as a bond over a shared experience and a "living proof of work"model with a n incentivised desire to spread the word
Fantastic video! I have a question for Brandon. Specifically, he brought up multiple cycles converging at the same time near the end. 4th turning, age of Aquarius, Industrial Age ending etc. What happens when he adds the global climate change as well? How do the models change when we factor in the loss of 1/3 of all North American insects, droughts, sea rise, glacial melt, oceans of plastic, coral reef’s dying, and the collapse of our biosphere? It seems that with the shrinking water and food resources, the hot-war scenario is ever more likely. How this unstoppable climate collapse may layer into these colliding cycles adds a layer of complexity/doom that I hear few attempt to factor into our future …
to add into this thinking with 4th turning I value Ray Dailios books about how long term debt cycles ends and his newest book regarding changing world order both putting things into historical perspective. All give an idea of the same. Some point in the future the current money system will change and go from a fiat system back to a system with hard money(something with scarce supply). Often this transition back towards hard money gold has been the solution. However, the question is if BTC is the new age of gold and is able to either become the solution or a partly solution combined with gold once the current system is going to change.
One thing that does worry me about BTC and crypto is what happens if these banks buy up so much of it that they get even more power to screw up the economy? Like how is someone 10 years from not gonna buy BTC if all of the institutions buy it up? Is that person just going be shit out of luck? How do we address that before it becomes a problem?
The big thing with altcoins is people need to understand they're fundamentally more like a financial service or tech startup, where Bitcoin is fundamentally about reforming the concept of money. I spend a lot of time in alts, but I do not interact with them as "money" - I put funds into Bitcoin when I need to store MONEY. I interact with alts as various financial services, some more centralized than others.
Thank you for raising your hand. I always feel alone in the Bitcoin community because it seems to be full of ultra right-wing, anti-science types who put far too much faith in the "free" markets to solve all the world's problems when, really, such markets tend to gut everything in favor of profit seeking. Some combination of: Bernie + Bitcoin = an ideal, better future for all.
50:15 “ what bitcoin does is it de-monetises the political class and monetises the productive class”. I love that line. - No wonder the political class are so anti-bitcoin
Same. I've been very disappointed by how many selfish, right-wing, anti-science folk there are on Bitcoin twitter. Nevertheless, Bitcoin is exactly the kind of thing that any good progressive liberal humanitarian would support, too. The separation of state and money seems rational; but, Bitcoin doesn't build roads or give us healthcare or education, etc.
@@gehrhardtschneider Bitcoin certainly fixes most of the economic and monetary problems facing billions of people but do you really think we can rely on anarchy and free markets to solve every other aspect of human society? The right still wants government, they just want to cut all social programs and women's rights, and boost the military, which doesn't really sound like a better path. Ideally there could exist a government that would be reasonably-sized, efficient, and provide and maintain a basic societal structure that doesn't over-intrude but isn't pure anarchy and zero accountability. One can hope, at least.
Secession is not possible; the States and Federal Economies are too interlinked. I’m all for states right but you should be careful. Just remember, the Civil War was a fourth turning...the southern states argued states rights to enslave, subjugate, and eliminate the inalienable rights of certain human beings (blacks, women, and poor whites). Yes, the southern landed wealth owners hated women and poor whites. They convinced poor whites to STFU or they would end up like to Blacks. They told women to STFU - their job was being barefoot and pregnant...all the time. so here we are today, these same states are claiming states rights to dictate new voting law (for a certain groups benefits), what women can do with their bodies, restricting books in libraries. But we should also be wary of bureau/technocrats and Big Brotherism. The States and Federal government are two sides of the same coin. Anyway, Time for Two Minutes of Hate!...and Down With Big Brother!
As a progressive who's interested in Bitcoin I always find it interesting listening to people on the right who might disagree with me. I totally agree that a lot of society today isn't looking for truth but rather what their Echo chamber will like to hear. But the problem is it seems like he's kind of doing the exact same thing in this talk. He criticizes the left for not seeking out the truth and criticize fauci (rightfully so) but then also leaves out that people like Trump literally tried to end democracy and is still lying about the election from over a year ago. Being Progressive to me means seeking out the truth and giving the proper context to all of these scenarios. I understand the right thinks that the left wants to end democracy with these mask mandates and vaccine mandates but Trump and the majority of Republicans in Congress tried to overturn democracy and is still lying about it and people still support him. It's mind-boggling to me how everyone is in their Echo chamber and unfortunately it seems like a lot of the crypto media does a lot of the same thing like Brandon is doing in this video. Again not saying everything he is saying is wrong but to call out one side when the other side is clearly doing something similar is clearly biased and goes against seeking the truth which is what he claims he wants.
I have seen no evidence of forced vaccinations in remote comunities in the Northern Teritory but people have 100% been forced to relocate to Howard Springs. This is not isolated to the NT or indigenous people though. Backpackers in Byron bay have had the same forced quarentine after being deemed close contacts. It is scary and not justified.

Great Content! BUT how can so many people misunderstand Elon 🤷♂️
I don't understand why this guy likes Strauss-Howe Generational Theory. I've read the Fourth Turning and I'm working through Generations. I don't see how Bitcoin and the Fourth Turning's model can coexist. Decentralization during the transition from turning 4 to turning 1? That's the kind of thing you would expect during the transition from turning 2 to 3. I'm not dogmatic on the model, but if the model does persist, then it seems that Bitcoin would need to take a backseat for a while. For Bitcoin to rise in prevalence to the point where it is a societal staple, then the model would be defeated.
Humankind has been narrowly defined in the past. How has the expansion of the franchise to include people who look a bit different than the two of you changed the formula?
debt gets paid every single day at different maturities. There will never be a day where the entire US debt is paid off. That would mean an end to the treasury market and who would want that ?
@@BogdanManciu i agree with all that except i think he doesn't take his thought process far enough, because if the FED does trigger deflation/a recession, they will respond with actual money printing, putting money directly in the pockets of every day people, like the stimulus checks, etc. So while I do think he is right to call for deflation broadly, those seem like "buy the dip" opportunities once you factor in the gov't response. Until there is the political will to let things unwind, I think we see epic pullbacks followed by even more epic bull runs but increased volatility should be a more regular feature as we get deeper into this.
About the Age of Aquarius. We come from the Age of Piscis, the fish as symbol of the Christ. An Age when we have control the fluids, the air, the water, the land. Piscis brougth a massive amount of life, also great development. That Age has ended. In Aquarius we learn to build the habitat, because the environment has turned hostile. We control the aquarius no matter if we are in the middle of an Earth desert or in the middle of space. We will bring the human aquarius to other planets and, eventually, another stars. It's the Age of cibernetics, space travel and post humanism. Another evolution cycle as the human from then end of the Age of Piscis is much more advance, not only in its tools but in its own biology, than those from the past age, the Age of Aries.
Somebody needs to have this guest read some books on history after the Fourth Turning gets old. If he did he would recognize those nice neat little categories they try to shoehorn history in to don’t work out so well. For instants, it might be a surprise for him to know that during all that peace and loving after World War II in that first turning with all that rebirth, the Korean war irrupted killing about 2 million people and dragging the United States China and many countries representing the UN into it. War has continued pretty much nonstop since then. As is frequently the case this kind of Western centric viewpoint doesn’t hold up under serious scrutiny and the archetypes Strauss and Howe describe in their book are absolutely absurd and could apply from anyone from George Washington to Donald Trump. At the same time. Certainly history can be looked at from cycles and I would agree we are in a cycle of great tumultuousness. Yes we could call it the fourth turning currently but outside of pretty broad generalizations the book simply isn’t supported and I would agree with the assessment that it’s a horoscope of sorts. Entertaining but unscientific and not able to predict anything specifically.
I would like to note that the book doesn't posit that there are no wars outside of a fourth turning, merely that those wars are different in their scope and nature. I don't think it's actually meant to predict anything specifically, but rather a general mood and themes for a particular point in time. Seems to be playing out in my opinion. We are entering a period of incredible divisiveness and increasing chaos.
Yes but also remember this was focussed on American culture. The rest of the world isn't necessarily in sync with that and this was a generalist theory focussed on mass impact on generations creating conditions

Thanks for hosting this. Quite enjoyable. Its apparent Brandon's done his homework.
Wow fellas. This one was epic. Powerful. I'm going to share this with orange pillers and no pillers alike. Can't wait to hear your next episode together!
Just listened to your first interview with Brandon yesterday. Excellent timing. Thank you.
This dude Brandon is an impressive intellect. I enjoyed listening to him, very articulate.
Same. About being a left-leaning, then I leaned red when I started making money. Bitcoin integrated the best of both worlds.
Sorta reminds me of the saying that if your not a lefty when you're young you dont have a heart, but if you're not a righty when you get older then you dont have a brain...
It sorta comes with age, wisdom, experience, responsibilities, disappointments...
Everyone becomes a selfish miser when tax day comes. The human is inherently selfish and greedy which is why there needs to be laws and safeguards against that. Otherwise it’s a dystopian nightmare.
I used to lean left too. Then I became a Christian and I started seeing morality was important.
So I watched this following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022…eerie hearing Peter and Brandon discuss the potential conflicts a couple of months prior to it happening, but also predicting the coalescence of international resistance that has occurred. Makes the episode even more compelling.
Thank you
Bro you are banging these out. Love it
Great show Peter and Brandon, Bitcoin is indeed they only alternative and it gives me hope!
Quittem is neat. A friend linked me to his work comparing mycelium and bitcoin; great stuff.
This chanel going to on another level. Even the comments are great and very useful. And at last who is this guy! Wow!

I like it
It’s to give you the perspective of his perspective from being across the table
I agree, the framing is pretty horrible, and the cables are giving me anxiety. And the wide shot makes it look like a show about a headphone amp.
I enjoy the compressed depth of field and defocused foreground. Adds art to the interview format.
Yes horrible framing in this video..
Very clear minded thoughts conveyed eloquently.

Because the left wants big, centralised government control, which is the antithesis of Bitcoin.

dude...I'm a bitcoiner but we way wayyy over estimate the ability of bitcoin to bring peace to the world
The perfect storm is here, as a boomer who discover btc early, i be looking forward to the 4th turning. Cheers 21.

I don't think it's actually meant to predict anything specifically, but rather a general mood and themes for a particular point in time. Seems to be playing out in my opinion. We are entering a period of incredible divisiveness and increasing chaos.
Yes but also remember this was focussed on American culture. The rest of the world isn't necessarily in sync with that and this was a generalist theory focussed on mass impact on generations creating conditions
I guess this all makes sense if you stop looking at history past 1800.
