Thoughts on immigration:
It’s a wonderful aspect of Americanism that we can accept people from all over the world, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion and we can absorb them while allowing their unique cultures to survive and thrive
But part of Americanism is to not let those cultures overtake the values of America. We can debate endlessly about what exactly those values are but generally they’re classical liberal ideas about governance, freedom, individualism, the scientific method, and open-mindedness
Many people will laugh as they think of a hillbilly or a liberal elitist as being open-minded but on the grand scheme of history we are a wildly open-minded and accepting nation
Those two archetypes have far more in common for the fact that they can peacefully coexist with mutually exclusive ideologies
The rest of world can have 99% in common and get stuck on one minor detail that causes them to fight and kill each other
It is a small segment of the population who commits these violent acts, but enough to reverberate for hundreds and even thousands of years
Those are the segments of the world population we must limit from taking over because they’re close-minded anti-American values and their violence will destroy us
There is also the issue of how many immigrants America can financially and geographically support to maintain not only American values but also to maintain a flourishing society that can take on more immigrants down the ground
It’s not anti-American to want to maintain American values and prevent an invasion of your nation. If the nation falls, the ability to take on future generations of immigrants will cease, and immigrants would likely not want to come to what the nation turns into
If you want to help immigrants, then do so thoughtfully and responsibly, so that future generations may enjoy the same benefits

Thesis:
A global societal push towards traditional values, layered with western liberal values, is the response to 100 years of progressive values and their outcomes that have characterized this last saeculum
The question is, is this the end of a saeculum, the Crisis period or Fourth Turning
Or are we in a protracted Crisis period lasting longer than the standard 20-25 years predicted in Strauss-Howe’s Generational Theory?
If the former, then the “good times” of the First Turning or The High should be right around the corner
But it certainly doesn’t feel like the good times are around the corner. It feels like we haven’t hit the truly hard times. Those hard times have been kicked down the road and the culprits are likely endless fiat money printing and the digital revolution.

IMHO: Trump is targeting a goal that allows him to negotiate around this price point. The USG can “default” on its debts (a Debt Jubilee) by simply paying off the interest. They can outrun the collapse of global assets and purchase cheaply from those beholden to a USD denominated debt or a Bitcoin Reserve System. A BRS can be held by any individual on earth without needing permission to transact on the system.

I think that’s the appeal of social media; funding like minded individualism to keep yourself from going crazy with all the people who don’t see things the way you do
And like you said, that doesn’t mean you don’t get along with people who think differently. But it can be mentally draining when people don’t understand basic truths, like the laws of economics.

1st book of 2025 complete:
The Beginning of Infinity by David Deutsch
A great follow up to Deutsch’s previous book, The Fabric of Reality. Understanding the thesis of the former is necessary for understand the depth and breadth of the latter.
Deutsch covers everything from parallel universes, to political structures, human incentives, technology and so much more. It is the closest thing to a book of everything I’ve ever read.
But his main point is that science is the process of moving from one misconception of reality to a less flawed misconception. Once you understand that even after improvements, we’re still getting things wrong, you’ll be more open minded to be critical of strongly held beliefs which is the best way to test them.

Trump selected John Ratcliffe to head the CIA. He was Trump’s Director of National Intelligence.
Accolades according to Fox News:
1. “[exposed] fake Russian collusion to be a Clinton campaign operation…”
2. “catching the FBI’s abuse of Civil Liberties at the FISA Court”
3. “When 51 intelligence officials were lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop, there was one, John Ratcliffe, telling the truth to the American People”
These were things I’ve known since early in the first Trump administration because I wasn’t watching legacy media
I was listening to podcasts like th the Scott Horton Show, Antiwar.com, and guys like Dave Smith since 2015
Never forget that Fox News buried stories like this back then just like all the rest of legacy media

Hard Times Creat Strong Men by Stefan Aarnio
If you’ve read Jack Donovan’s The Way of Men series, like I’ve been telling you to for a year now, then you’ll love this book!
It is based on a lot of the same themes, because when you break it down, masculinity comes back to the same general concepts. Life isn’t fair, suck it up and figure out how to be extraordinary.
Most of us know the cycles of society; Strong Men created good times, etcetera. Well, we’re in Hard Times and most people are going to figure it one it the hard way. But if you’ve been following me for long enough you should realize we’re in the Hard Times, you should have embraced it long ago and you should look these times in the face and smile, knowing you’re going to kick it’s ass!!

45th book of 2024 complete:
How Civil Wars Start by Barbara F Walter
This is a good book of you want to learn how civil wars have started in many nations
But once Walter starts overlaying her theories on the United States, her Trump Derangement Syndrome exposes the complete fraud of this work
She repeatedly talks about how authoritarian rulers us race and ethnicity to divide a nation and use that division to take control. Only sobering who believes every lie of the corporate press could think that statement describes Trump and not the Democratic Party.
With the hindsight of two assassination attempts, it’s even more obvious to anyone interested in the truth which sides rhetoric is fueling hate and political violence
I would recommend reading this book beside it will teach you how civil wars are started. But if you’re actually interested in preventing one in America, you’ll have to do your own critical analysis because this book is woefully lacking in that department.

44th book of 2024 complete:
The Dragons and the Snakes by David Killcullen
Really great look at the adaptive environments created by Western military powers and rising or small forces trying to compete.
Adaptations to threats are necessary and natural for survival. Something is either killed by a threat or finds a way to survive in the threat environment. The West’s primary problem is that governments expenditures on defense are captured by the MIC. Profits are trumping success and the perverse incentives mean higher profits for more failures, rather than smaller profits for swift victories.
The major topic that a lot of military and geopolitical theorists miss is the money aspect; specifically the USGs use of the dollar. It’s mentioned how a Chinese PLA Officer identified the US’s use of the dollar as a weapon and Killcullen quickly classifies
it as “completely loopy”.
This is the West’s problem; a lack of understanding our enemies and ourselves. I would recommend Killcullen read Lords of Poverty by Graham Hancock and Hidden Repression by @gladdstein for a better understanding of the West’s use of monetary policy as economic warfare.
Thanks to Jack Carr for pointing me to this book in his last book, Red Sky Mourning.

42nd book of 2024 complete:
Only the Dead by Jack Carr
Another deep dive (pun intended) for James Reece.
Hands down my favorite part was how Carr used a book of fiction to discuss real world applications of warfare. The Russian invasion of Ukraine was more than a military warfare, it was economic and information warfare and Carr explains how they pulled it off.
Regardless of how much is fact or fiction, it is a fact that American politicians and generals are lying to the American public about their effectiveness against Russia. It’s also eerie how this was written prior to the conflict in Israel drawing the world closer to another wide spread conflict in the Middle East.
Short of a James Reece-esque character exposing the truth, nothing will change unless we start holding our elected officials accountable and expose the corruption that’s become a mainstay of DC power politics.

41st book of 2024 complete:
The Fourth Turning is Here by Neil Howe
The only redeeming quality of this book is that it’s proof of the original’s theory that older generation’s ideas need to be replaced to make way for the next generation to fix problems created by the previous generations.
On a macro level, the ideas in this and the original are outstanding. But once Howe tries to get into the weeds of what should be done moving forward, his prescription is more of the same flawed thinking that got is here.
He flirts will properly understanding and identifying the problem of the fiat monetary system, just to call for more of the same. I would love to talk with Howe and work towards better understanding on both our ends, but it’s unusual for an academic to challenge their own preconceived notions.

40th book of 2024 complete:
The Fourth Turning by William Strauss and Neil Howe
It’s about more than the meme “Hard times make strong men”. The cycles of history are as consistent as the changing of the seasons and are necessary to balance out the extremes of humanity.
This book was published in 1997 towards the end of the Third Turning. The authors predicted the Fourth Turning would start around 2005 with a crisis catalyst (the 2008 GFC was likely that moment), reach its apex in 2020 (spot on with that one!) and reach resolution around 2026.
That doesn’t mean the hard times are over and it’s all uphill from here. What it means is that over the past decade, people have been figuring out what is corrupt in our system, building alternatives, and creating resilient organizations.
I believe that is what we have seen happening as local, decentralized groups have become stronger and more resilient

I’m no electrician or mechanic, but I’m fairly certain the power generated from the alternator is due to the spinning of the motor. The pulleys/belts spin and create the energy. So the energy is coming from the potential energy of the motor that is already spinning.
In other words, the alternator isn’t tapping into the fuel source, it’s using the energy created from something that is already spinning.
Your analogy would be like saying that the power created from a water mill needs to use extra water to create the power. Thats not the case. The water is already flowing. The mill is just capturing the potential energy.

Also, just like working out, increase your listening speed until you get use to it, then increase more. I’m at about 2.2-2.3x speed, depending on the density and the readers voice.

By prioritizing and accepting everything, the destroyed the culture that made them exceptional.

Becoming A Barbarian by Jack Donovan
Second time reading this book as well. This 3-part series should be read every year and could really be made into one book. But Becoming A Barbarian really gets into how you tap into tribalism and head down the path of The Way of Men.
The most poignant take away is how “The Empire of Nothing” pushes universal moralism to the point of accepting anything and anyone, at the expense of everyone’s individuality and common sense. If you prioritize everything, you’ve prioritized nothing.

32nd book of 2024 complete:
The Invention of Power by Bruce Bueno de Mesquita
A really interesting look at the game theory played out as a result of the Concordat of Worms in 1122, an agreement between the Pope and the Holy Roman Emperor.
TL;DR: the thesis argues that the agreement led to wealthier regions becoming more secular and leading to further increases in wealth, the Protestant Reformation, and scientific breakthroughs. The game theory is what, according to Mesquita, has led to the West having such a predominant role in the world.
The argument seems sound and is very well articulated. The only problem I really find is in the name of the book. Power was certainly “invented” long before this. The title seems more like an editors/publishers choice to sell books rather than sum up the thesis.
Overall, a really interesting book that covers a document that probably deserves as much attention as the Magna Carta and American Declaration of Independence, especially as it likely created the furtive ground for those later documents.

31st book of 2024 complete:
Civilian Warriors by Erik Prince
I finished this a couple weeks ago but I wanted to finish the Tucker Carlson interview of Prince first
While I can’t rule out that the book was written for damage control and to reshape the image and narrative around Backwater and Prince, the USG propaganda machine was certainly directed at conservative organizations at this time.
And while I use to think the contractors were exorbitantly paid, Prince does an excellent job of pointing out how US Service Members are paid through benefits that far exceed their salaries.
The fact is, for the Lizard class who wants the US continually engaged in conflicts around the world while the Federal deficit is spiraling out of control, this business model is the only way to make it happen.
Ironically, they should be praising Prince for showing them how it should be done. Luckily for the Freedom Fighters, he seems to be out of that game. Although the CIA connections are still something to remain vigilant about.
I’d recommend reading this book for a better understanding of PMCs, government propaganda and tactics against political opponents, and some insight in to ways future wars might be funded and conducted.

30th book of 2024 complete:
I came into this book cautiously, not sure if it was a hit piece being waged against America’s warriors or a well researched and thorough piece of actual journalism.
While I’m still waiting to hear back from a Navy Seal buddy to get his take, I believe this is an accurate and well researched book. HOWEVER, most of the acts described in the book, while awful, I don’t believe to be unique to Seal Team 6.
Over 20+ years of the Forever Wars similar and worst acts have been committed across units of all types. They are always the exception to the rule of the American Warrior’s ethos and unless you’ve experienced combat and understand the monster that lives in all of us, it is difficult to understand the fine line between lethally trained strategically employed violence and psychopathic murderers.
Certainly this book points out the failures of officers up and down the chain of command as well as civilian leaders who are suppose to provide oversight. Unless we, the American People, demand change and accountability while maintaining an understanding of what our nations Warriors are being asked to do, we won’t become a more moral society.

29th book of 2024 complete:
Savage Son by Jack Carr
I’m glad I read The Most Dangerous Game prior to reading this. Savage Son was masterfully written to incorporate the theme of that book while maintaining the story line and characters of the James Reese series.
Jack has quickly become one of my favorite authors, sucking me back into the world of fiction!
I’m going to take a short break from fiction and get caught up on some other books on my list. But LCDR Reese’s next mission is already calling me.

FBI documents show that FBI agent’s loyalties were questioned and those deemed to be disloyal had their security clearances revoked (meaning in effect, they were fired).
Supporting the then President and the Bill of Rights are fireable offenses at the FBI.
Feel how you feel about Trump, but aren’t those sworn to uphold the Constitution and the orders of the President suppose to obey their oath?!
What kind of upside down world are we living in?!

28th book of 2024 complete:
The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell
As I started Jack Carr’s third novel, Savage Son, the preface describes how Jack was inspired by this book at an early age. I decided I had to read it before starting Savage Son
It’s a fast read and one of the best pieces of writing you’ll ever read, not just for the story but for the way it’s written
Absolutely recommend

27th book of 2024 complete:
True Believer by Jack Carr
The accuracy and detail of Carr’s writing makes you feel like you’re back overseas, and specially when you’ve been to places like Irbil, Ramadi, Fallujah, Amman, Incirlik, etc
I made the mistake of saying The Terminal list was the second non-fiction book I’ve read. But maybe that was a Freudian slip, as Carr’s writings are more Fact than fiction (fact-tion?)
Carr is proving himself to be the Forever War Veteran’s Tom Clancy
We’re recommending everyone in the @npub1qkt…ms0r community read these books

While hiking through the backcountry of Denali National Park a couple weeks ago, I looked back at my dad and said,
“It gets easier. But then it gets harder.”
He said, “That’s a good analogy for life.”
Every time you find something difficult, you take it on and figure it out. Things get easier. And then you come up against another challenge and things get harder.
That’s the way it’s suppose to be. If things are easy right now, is that because you’re avoiding the next challenge or simply haven’t found it yet?

The Terminal List by Jack Carr
Only the second non-fiction book I’ve read this year and… damn!
My mind was blown more than being on the wrong side of Lieutenant Commander James Reese!! IYKYK
Fighting the urge to continue reading this series as I have so many other books on the reading list. That said, True Believer (2nd book of the series) is already paid for and waiting in the queue.

25th book of 2024 complete:
The Dictators Handbook by Bruce Bueno De Mesquita and Alastair Smith
The thesis is great: rulers hold on to power by following key rules, namely, benefiting their essential supports, those people in their society whose support is needed to gain and maintain power
The flaw to the book, however, is a general belief that democratic rulers are better than autocratic rulers because they must appeal to a larger essential supporter base.
While they point out how democratic governments can be corrupt and break rules, they try to make it seem like that’s atypical and those rulers are often thrown out easily by the electorate.
They also point out how autocratic rulers often have sham elections. As if to believe that democratic system’s elections aren’t rigged simply by providing false choices.
Without realizing where the true power lies in American society, they fail to properly identify the actual essential supporters.
Corporations like the MMIC (Medical and Military Industrial Complex) who control so much of the politics and the media, are no different than essential supporters in an autocracy who provide political support to rulers and propaganda.
Just because it’s a more advanced form of manipulation, they seem to be tricked into believing that it’s all about democracy and the people’s will.
I would only recommend this book for two reason:
1) I believe the thesis is accurate
2) I would like to see more people give their own analysis of this book
If you have to will read, please provide your feedback

“States don’t have interests, people do”
- The Dictators Handbook by Bruce Bueno De Mesquita and Alastair Smith
No war, no bailout, no social program was ever initiated because it was in the state’s or the people’s interest. They’ve always been initiated because they were in the rulers interest.

24th book of 2024 complete:
One Second After by William R Forstchen is about the aftermath of an EMP attack on the United States
An Electro Magnetic Pulse attack is the ultimate asymmetric attack. If successful, it would leave the entire country cut off from power, transportation, logistical resupply, and so much more.
Would you and your community be prepared to go without power, refrigeration, heat, cars, the grocery store, medicine? Our interconnected and global society is heavily reliant on these systems that are extremely vulnerable.
The government’s response is always to throw cash at a problem AFTER the crisis. But one second after the attack will be too late.
Our only hope is to ensure we’re prepared individually and do what we can to help our local communities prepare.

Backcountry camping in Denali National Park in Alaska
Saw caribous, had a way to close encounter with a grizzly, and saw some of the most beautiful untouched land on the planet
In 6 million acres we were 2 of maybe 30-40 people, everyone else being in vehicles along the one road in the park
Already can’t wait or do it again!!

I was thinking about this while reading previous chapters. You never hear an Austrian or a Libertarian say that e should ban The Communist Manifesto or Keynesian textbooks. When you’re right, you don’t have to ban “mis/disinformation”.

Bitcoiners need to come to grips with the fact that not all “Bitcoiners” are the same. They’re not all going to be good people trying to do the right thing. It’s still about incentives and those with tremendous wealth in Bitcoin can and will likely do nefarious things to maintain control.
The beautiful thing about Bitcoin is that they can do fucked up nefarious things and it will only be their detriment in the long run because their con will be exposed.
Unlike fiat that can paper over so much corruption, Bitcoin will expose people.
Keep fighting the good fight and keep your head on a swivel.
