After thousands of hours of study and learning about what the fundamental problems are with our monetary and political systems, I’m still left with the question: How do we destroy this cleptocracy without achieving a critical mass of citizens who care enough to change it? It seems to me that things will have to get much worse and that way more people are going to have to feel a lot more pain and loss before any real change is possible.

I’ve provided the people around me that I care about with so many resources to help them learn everything they need to know about what’s going on with our money, why their purchasing power is diminished, and how to exit the system. That’s a whole lot of links sent and books shared that have largely gone unread. I’d say one in thirty of them actually “gets it”. He’s my best friend and a fellow deep thinker. And he still hasn’t managed to get off zero Sats because he doesn’t have any disposable income and has a highly skeptical spouse.

So here I am on Sunday night facing the prospect of going back to the fiat mine tomorrow to sell my time for pennies and work till about 2pm before any of it makes it into my own pocket, just to stave off insolvency. What a waste of potential.
