We need technologists and developers for sure, but we also need philosophers and artists and dreamers and mystics to see beyond what we have always been and to constellate inspiration for the masses, visions of being which are both entirely new to us and yet as natural as life on earth.

Freedom isn't not having to work; freedom isn't free. Freedom is being free of the archetypes and constraints of the fiat world, returning to the natural human state, to worlds of our own making, our own truths, the true spirit of humanity. It's the Archaic Revival.

Fiat Mythology: Death, Scarcity, and Dominance
In fiat economies, scarcity is artificially manufactured through inflation, rent-seeking, and monopolization. This creates a worldview where hoarding, conquest, and zero-sum competition are seen as necessary for survival. The idea that “only the strong survive” becomes embedded in culture because, under fiat, those who do not dominate by force are systematically drained out of existence.
With an economic system that punishes saving and depletes wealth over time, the future always appears worse than the past. People subconsciously align with mythologies where death, apocalypse, and collapse are the final destination. This manifests in everything from religious end-times narratives to cultural obsessions with dystopia and archetypes of destruction.
Skulls, crossbones, the reaper, and bulging, hulking, displays of muscle, motor, and power are not just cultural artifacts; they emerge as psychological adaptations to an economic system that makes failure, exploitation, and conflict seem inescapable.
Bitcoin Mythology: Life, Abundance, and Creation
A Bitcoin-based economy, by contrast, is fundamentally non-extractive and non-depleting. This would shift the underlying cultural myths toward creation, cooperation, and abundance, as Bitcoin aligns incentives with life rather than entropy.
When money appreciates in value rather than depreciates, the future becomes something to invest in rather than something to fear. This fosters mythologies of growth, generational wealth, and the long arc of progress.
Because Bitcoin rewards productive value creation, mythologies shift from war and conquest to builders, innovators, and artisans. In a world where wealth isn’t siphoned away by inflation, cooperation and decentralized networks become the dominant survival strategy.
Bitcoin removes the need for centralized control over money, which dissolves fiat-era myths of the “necessary ruler” or the “benevolent overlord.” Instead, new myths emerge around self-reliance, peer-to-peer networks, and decentralized wisdom.
The Shift: From Thanatos to Eros
Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud spoke about the Thanatos (death drive) vs. Eros (life force). Fiat economies force societies into Thanatos-driven mythologies: war, destruction, domination, and eventual collapse. Bitcoin, by aligning incentives with long-term value creation and cooperation, enables an Eros-driven mythos: one of creation, renewal, and generational wealth.
A civilization that moves from fiat to Bitcoin isn’t just changing its money—it’s rewriting its entire cultural and existential narrative.

History bends not to the will of rulers, but to the imagination of those who refuse to be ruled. We are not here to tweak the system; we are here to outgrow it, to make it irrelevant. And we do that by embodying the freedom we seek—by living it, by building it, and by extending our hands in good faith to those who are ready to break free.

Yes. The paradox of helping people gain perspective is that they must first want to see. But most do not—either because of fear, inertia, or because their existing narrative structure provides them with a functional, if limited, frame of meaning.
A mind expands only when it chooses to, and that choice is often driven by necessity—some force that pressures it to stretch beyond its prior boundaries. The explorers, pioneers, and builders you speak of are those who must expand their perspectives to survive and thrive. They are compelled forward by an internal tension, a hunger to know and to become.
The Markov blanket is a useful metaphor here—it defines the boundary of perception and action, the edge of what an entity can model. Most people live within this cognitive enclosure without questioning it. But those who sense there is something beyond inevitably push against its edges.
Trying to explain the larger system to those who do not yet see it is often an act of futility—until they have a crack in their enclosure, a moment of rupture, a question that destabilizes them. Until then, any discussion of “higher worlds” is met with dismissal or hostility, because it threatens their narrative stability.
So, is there any helping people? Perhaps only in showing them their own capacity to choose—to recognize their own agency in constructing reality. This is why Bitcoin is a philosopher’s stone: it is an ontological rupture, a fundamental reorientation of economic and social order. It introduces choice where before there was none. And once a person sees they have a choice, they can never fully unsee it.
The question then becomes: how do you create the conditions where people willingly look beyond their enclosure? How do you plant the seeds of curiosity without triggering the defenses of fear?
