E305: The Power and Promise of Decentralization
E305 Introduction
Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all doing well and I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year season. I have come off my sabbatical creatively recharged and elevated and ready to dialogue with all of you about all the crazy shit that is going down! I hope that in speaking with you, we can all make more sense of it all.
Today is a bit unusual in that I am starting the season off with a Firestarter, which is just a name for my short-format, solo episodes without a guest. Next week we will be our first interview of the season.
2026 is bound to be epic. The level of corruption and graft and sheer fuckery is beyond all comprehension. It is SO OBVIOUS that even traditional liberals are starting to acknowledge, wake up, and comment on it. Gasp! Could this be the year? Wink wink.
What are we going to focus on here at Basecamp this season? Well, we will be keeping close eye on the American Republic and the moves of President Trump, for sure. We will also be looking at the growing Decentralization revolution, something we will touch on today. I will also be doing some good episodes on health, a topic that I have a lifelong interest in. And yes, the esoteric (particularly the ET conversation, will also get some airtime. C’mon man! I can’t resist. (What can I say, God wants me to talk to you about this).
Also, I may do more short format episodes this year. I’m feeling it. What that will look like are episodes that I write and deliver solo in the 5-12 minute range typically. Part of this is I have a bit more time to write and the other part is I’m tired of the constant wrangling for guests. It gets a bit old Basecampers. So I am sticking with my once a week format with episodes coming out every Tuesday but more of these are going to be of the Firestarter variety. Sound good?
I have a few memes to share with you and then a piece I wrote about Decentralization vs. Centralization that I wanted to kick the season off with. I am thrilled to be back. I hope you are feeling good and maybe we can share some things here that bring a sense of light and hope into the narrative. For the lighter qualities seem to have a power in these times, do they not? Thank you Basecampers and enjoy the rest of the episode.
