Excited to share this episode! I really loved the conversation. Joel + Yerasimos have such an incredible community, an ease and depth in dialogue that allowed my whole range of themes to unfold naturally. I truly appreciated that flow. here for the truth :::::: In this episode, we dive into the extraordinary life and mind of multidisciplinary artist and philosopher Monika Bravo — a woman whose journey spans continents, paradigms, and dimensions. From her early years in Colombia and Greece to three decades of public art installations around the world, Monika shares how her path of self-education, intuitive inquiry, and disillusionment with institutional systems led her toward synthesis — bridging art, philosophy, Austrian economics, and consciousness. We explore her experience surviving 9/11, her rejection of indoctrination in favor of true education, her awakening to Bitcoin as a state of consciousness, and her vision for a civilization grounded in value, truth, and individual sovereignty.

📊 Bitcoin Technical Analyst One of my wishes is to become a proficient Bitcoin technical analyst by studying and specializing in Ichimoku structure, Gann time cycles, and volume analysis, with the intention to develop a personal view on how the market is breathing. My background in astrological and Human Design chart reading gives me a unique perspective, as I naturally think in cycles, geometrical patterns, harmonics, and multi-timeframe relationships. This translates into strong pattern recognition and synthesis across different analytical methods, allowing me to see confluences others might miss. For entertainment purposes only.

In the Middle Ages, lawfulness meant alignment with natural and customary law; taxation was lawful only by consent, for the common good, and within moral limits. Common law affirms that property rests in natural right, government power arises from consent, and any exaction without lawful authority is void. The essay Why Taxes Were So Hated in the Middle Ages from the Mises Institute reminds us that modern taxation rests not on lawfulness but on legality, a system of power that replaced consent with authority. In other words, it traces the transition from lawful order to legal power, allowing the reader to recognize that modern systems operate by statute rather than by natural law. “During the Middle Ages, taxation was considered to be appropriate only as an extreme measure in times of emergency, and as a last resort. Kings were expected to subsist on revenues from their own property, and to respect the property of others.” — Mises Wire, Why Taxes Were So Hated in the Middle Ages, Ryan McMaken. https://mises.org/mises-wire/why-taxes-were-so-hated-middle-ages
