Show Notes

Welcome to the The Confab, the term derives from "confidential talk", which was commonly used in the Prohibition Era for meetings and conversations that took place in the smoky, rule-breaking speakeasies of that time. The informal, privacy focused and clandestine nature of Ungovernable Misfits lends itself to these discussions. So, grab a seat and a stiff drink from the concealed bar, listen and revel in the conversation. On this episode, host of Rock Paper Bitcoin and writer of Risk Fundamentals, Fundamentals joins Max for a coffee to discuss bitcoin, bears and bravery. SH...

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” And I am a Pioneer.

One of the most interesting episodes produced. The back and forth of the dialogue between npub1z9hy7a0n8zxnhgrcew2nnkr4sx6sum07exve99pqq30leujye3usgd858n and npub12eml5kmtrjmdt0h8shgg32gye5yqsf2jha6a70jrqt82q9d960sspky99g as they not so much argue, but try to break down their use of language to meet an understanding on the complex idea that is 'enlightment'. I found myself going back and forth agreeing with one speaker and then rapidly finding myself agreeing with the other. It's as if I had an understanding yet not exactly, but the purity of the desire for truth kept me constantly intrigued. This is an episode I would mark in npub1kqrddzzl6xng2wn0n0eyyjnf6smwmtp8m5atetzjw7vqyngwrphs4ye5xu's top five. I'll give it some time, but I plan to listen to this episode again. Sidenote: I loved Fundamental's use of examples such as Larry Bird and The Fountainhead sparked me up with joy.

This was a super fun episode! The easiest way to debunk the flat earth theory would be to be transparent about what’s going on in Antarctica; the whole foundation of the theory is the continent is an ice wall surrounding the earth. That access is restricted and the treaty stands is what makes the continent interesting. What’s really there? Nazi’s? Resources? Or a prehistoric land from the imagination of Jack Kirby? Only time will tell.

This was an excellent episode. I personally think I've been disappointed by some of the more recent episodes. It wasn't that they were bad in any way I can point out, but they just didn't have that magic that I listen to this podcast for. This episode made me have that same feeling that hooked me in when I started listening to RPB. I LOVED IT. There are some who bow down and answer the calls of men and their laws. Then there are great men who only bow down and answer the call of God.

In other news, I want to take a moment to highlight how beneficial it can be to stack #40hpw of silence on top of the recommended weekly podcast regimen.

Paul Sports was an S-tier guest.
100
I disagree with Paul a lot but have loved and agree with his feelings on education. School benefited me a lot because I had parents who pushed me towards practical education with good income potential and not liberal arts bullshit. Now most school has little or no real world application and YouTube, AI, Duolingo, Synthesis, etc will teach you better, cheaper, and faster. College is mostly a scam to convey social status, not practical knowledge.

Great to chat with Paul. Wrong about lightning and drivechains are silly, but fun guy.

    I should listen and make sure Max didn’t just interview me only to play Kamala Harris soundbytes after asking me questions. I think this is an important conversation. While I didn’t mention it, attacks on Samourai are motivated (I believe) by institutional simping - a desire to make the space more palatable. Imagine making that personal trade off only to find out that some institutions were coming anyway because they had no choice but the rest would sell their bitcoin at the first sign of trouble. It’s just not worth it. t’s just not worth it. It’s It’s just not worth it
