Erik Cason is back and we're diving deep into some uncomfortable truths. We talk about government corruption, the Epstein revelations, and why most people will never wake up from the Matrix. Erik breaks down his Crypto Sovereignty philosophy, the Orange Party concept, his Vora AI project for true digital sovereignty, and why Bitcoin is fundamentally political with a capital P.

Join the journey from Pleb 2 Polymath. Learn stuff, build stuff, bring other common folks to the knowledge! I don’t think my name will change to Pioneer2Polymath, but I agree with the sentiment, it’s important to move on from commoner plebeian to a person who uses their know-how to make their lives and the ones around them’s lives better.

The stay home with no purpose narrative isn’t what UBI is about. No one is sitting at home rotting on a 2K a month UBI. I think of UBI as a financial floor no one can fall below, not a safety net, or an income replacement. It’s a lot of things, but if your sitting around rotting on an allowance of that level the problem is not the UBI. It would be a entrepreneurial boost for me. What would 2K a month do for you?

Streaking in this sense, I would assume is what the kids mean when they say it, which means you use an app everyday so you're on a streak for so long. Kids use Snapchat and going streaks. I don't remember what my kids told me last time I asked but it was something ridiculous like multiple hundreds of days in a row

What I would like to see more Nostr apps doing is hiding the fact that they are Nostr apps. Just obscure it away so normal people think it's a normal app, and not a power app. And let the features and usability make them a fan without them realizing it

Ya there's definitely nothing wrong with waiting. 6 to 12 months from now it will be much more capable, and in order of magnitude easier to set up

I've been setting up mine to automatically log conversations. I've been feeding it all of my notes and business ideas. Everything gets automatically cataloged into obsidian. That obsidian vault is included in the QMD database for vector memory search. My agents have excellent short and long-term memory with minimal token usage. To set it up right, you really need to spend quite a while setting it up - or buy the files from somewhere. I've been setting up going on 3 weeks. It has already made me more productive. Soon my calendar will be synchronized. Client leads with automatically be filtered and surfaced front and center to me. The more you use something like this, the more you will start to understand how you can compound little abilities on top of each other. One cron job can trigger a cascade of events and work. I have used simplistic bots for many years. I used to have one that would pay my child support for me. That ran with no issues for about 5 years before they updated the site and broke my bot. I used to use another one for automatically populating descriptions and titles for an online store. At that time, I was replacing an employee with a simple bot. These things have been providing real value for people, for longer than people assume. Again it all comes down to how you use it and what you're doing with it. 6 to 12 months from now the landscape will be much different. Right now it's very hard to set up correctly and easy to burn money if you don't know what you're doing. But soon a lot of these things will be ironed out and much more normal people will be able to get higher value from it. On top of that, every time the models get better or cheaper, that means you can also upgrade your system to be smarter or cheaper.

I don't know who's spending $1,000 but you doing it wrong. I spent $15 in the past 3 weeks with more usage than I've ever had. It all depends on the model. But If they are also using it to do scraping and analyzing, it's not exactly simple work. And if you compare that to a human being doing the same work - that $1,000 is probably much cheaper than a human spending the time manually scraping and analyzing. I think I saw a graph recently saying that Claude opus outputs - in one prompt - between 5 and 15 hours of human work. Obviously that's not on every prompt, but that's pretty substantial even if it's expensive at a 30 cent API call, then maybe it's an extremely good deal. It's all very relative to what you're using it for and what your accomplishing in the end. Some of us have been playing with AI models for years already so we already know how to prompt better and we get better results. You've got to keep playing with different models - talk to them in different ways - and be explicit, try to remove ambiguity. And if you're having problems writing prompts - ask one AI to write a prompt for you to give to the other.. and that will often increase your chance of a one shot successful prompt

This was fantastic! Listening to people get worked up while being wrong is enjoyable. I think you did an even better job summarizing at the end. Also, I am glad to see some Credential Pride, not near enough of that in journalism, imo.

This was one of my two favourites podcasts recently. For the same reason. Both guests, Lyn Alden here and Simon Dixon on Coin Stories, were outside of their usual comfort zone, and did great jobs framing things for the audience. It got me thinking how we need to meet people where they are. Cheers

Thanks for another worthwhile episode, bringing us all the news we can use incl. the Circle P! When it comes to a remedy for decoupling from the broken system and healing, there’s currently nothing better than Bitcoin IMHO. But we’ll see where all this is going! I certainly hope I’ll be able to invite you for a beer someday & hear your take on this topic. Until then, I‘ll always see you (or more precisely listen to you) on the other side!

    Always fun to feel like you want to be in the room during a podcast. Erik, you said you wanted to support the Einstein not the 99k other mouth breathers (my addition :). Question how do we identify the Einstein? The « Lost Einstein Theory » is one of the many talking points around a UBI. If everyone had « enough » to shine we could find the shiny Einsteins and further support them…thoughts?
