ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY

Bram Kanstein and Chris Sullivan discuss how fiat money acts like a compliance ritual that steals time, energy, and sovereignty. They connect inflation, time preference, and spiritual oppression to rising depression, chaos, and broken incentives. Sullivan traces a 5,000 year playbook, from the Crime of 1873 to central bank consolidation and banker wars. Bitcoin shows up as rules over rulers, a peaceful opt-out, and a higher consciousness asset. They end with practical rebellion: health, local food, education, and self-custody.
