Basecamp for Men E277: Empowering the People

E277: Empowering the People with Special Guest Cal Washington

 

E277 Introduction

There are few things that makes people feel more helpless and victimized than advanced technologies that seem to be having a negative effect on health and overall well-being. You can be left feeling like you can’t ignore it yet you can’t escape it.

Things like 5G technology, “smart meters”, and geoengeneering aka weather modification can leave you feeling like you have no remedies and nobody fighting to make sure that if there are indeed harmful impacts, someone CAN be held liable. It just feels like the deck is stacked.

My guest today is someone who has addressed all this and more. Creating an organization that has created NOL templates to address anything that might be harming humanity. Brilliant, creative, and courageous? And just in the nick of time, I might add.

There is a saying that “God provides” and in this man’s humble work, I can see the answer to our some of our collective prayers. That we find some chess moves of our own to combat what (looks increasingly like) that we have been boxed in by technologies that seem convenient on the surface but, once investigated, look to be part of a global control system. A digital surveillance system or digital fence, with parts of the this system now INSIDE of us, thanks in part to MRNA shots that many have voluntarily taken plus “smart meters” and whatever it is that they are spraying on us on most days.

However, it seems for every move that the Globalists make to ensure they remain at the top of the pyramid, there has emerged counterstrikes in this great chess game as WE THE PEOPLE start to play moves we didn’t even know existed until now.

Enjoy the episode.

Basecamp for Men E276: Diving Into A.I.

E276: Diving Into A.I. with Special Guest Pamela Leslie

 

E276 Introduction

We seem to be at a critical juncture in both the narrative war and in the evolution of our existence here in this planet. A changing of the guard, as they say.The old systems, whether that is money or tech or medicine, to name just few, are crumbling under the weight of both bureaucratic bloat and just plain ole graft and corruption. You can see it in real time, each one of us as witness.

Futurists are lined up seeing either the new golden age or a technocratic nightmare, depending on which inputs you put in your brain. The decentralized revolution with Bitcoin at the center are creeping towards center stage and mainstream awareness. It is, in many ways, inevitable.

And along with the decentralized revolution and people first systems there sits AI, or LLM as they are properly called. Chat GPT, Grok, Claude, and even the Chinese Communist Party‘s Deep Seek, to name just a few.

At first glance, it looks like robots are going to take over the world. This too seems a bit inevitable. But if technology has taught us anything, it is that although there are dangers in emerging technology, there are also incredible gifts for humans. What are those gifts? Sometimes it can be hard to tell as first-uses for the early adopters sometimes give way to radical new ways of seeing and doing things as the global village adopts and innovates with the new technology.

I must admit, I was resistance to all the LLM at first. But as someone who creates lots of content on a regular basis, I can see how much packaging and marketing this content will be streamlined with proper use of a LLM. I just need to learn how to do it.

I was fortunate enough to meet my guest today, who teaches a class for newbies on how to get started using any of a number of these LLM’s for better productivity and a bunch of other things. The future is now Basecampers and I don’t know about you but I would rather start early and understand the changes that are happening than sit on the sidelines imagining the worst.

I hope enjoy the episode.

Basecamp for Men E275: Macroeconomics w/ Peruvian Bull

E275: Macroeconomics with Special Guest Peruvian Bull

 

E275 Introduction

Today’s episode is not really a Bitcoin episode per se. But rather a conversation with a very intelligent young man about what he sees in the macroeconomic environment as it relates to our future.

I have said that we will continue to feature Bitcoiners on this show. Not every episode. Basecamp is not a Bitcoin podcast. But I like what Bitcoiners bring to the table: street smarts, intelligence about monetary properties, intuition, and a healthy dose of optimism and foresight.

In my view, Bitcoiners are one of the only sub-groups bringing light and humor and insight into the narrative war. The fact that they are preaching adoption of the hardest money on the planet is almost the cherry on top, so to speak.

Between tariffs and de-dollarization and trade and narrative wars, it can be difficult to see clearly. We are in the cognitive dissonance phase for many people, certainly the normies are getting this in spades. A sort of WTF is happening vibe is all over the place.

This is where the stone-cold conviction of the Bitcoiners again stands alone. What other sub-group is cutting through the fog the way Bitcoiners are? None that I can see.

Let‘s get to our interview, it’s a good one. And once again, none of this should be taken as financial advice. I am not saying YOU should buy Bitcoin. I am a libertarian through and through. You do you Basecamper. I am simply sharing what I have found valuable. That is all. Enjoy the interview.

Peruvian Bull Bio

My guest today goes by the name Peruvian Bull. He is a former analyst in fintech and a writer on finance and monetary policy. He is also the author of the book The Dollar Endgame. Here is my interview with Peruvian Bull.

E275 Final Thoughts

Well I hope you enjoyed that conversation as much as I did with the always insightful Peruvian Bull.

Thank you Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week.

Basecamp for Men E274: Basecamp Classic

E274: Basecamp Classic w Paul Dunion

 

E274 Introduction

Today’s episode is a Basecamp Classic, meaning a replay of a top shelf episode from seasons past. I try to keep these to only 4 or 5 a year. I like to use them whenever we are a little low on content. I have a bunch of good interviews coming up but needed something this week. Plus for the new listeners, you may have missed a few gems from back in the day.

This episode is a really good one. It’s from all the way back to season two. The original title was E 46: Wisdom for Uncertain Times w Special Guest Paul Dunion. It is a fitting theme for today, the episode holds up well all these years later, and Paul has always been one of my favorite guests to interview. You genuinely feel you are sitting around the fire with a true master. Enjoy this Basecamp Classic.

Basecamp for Men E273: Men and the Soul’s Journey

E273: Men and the Soul’s Journey

 

E273 Introduction

Today’s episode is both a new wrinkle and a bit of a throwback. I am being interviewed by Beth Marten, which is something we don’t often feature here on Basecamp, me on the other side of the interview.

Yet, it also a throwback to earlier days here on Basecamp as Beth and I get into men’s work, male initiation, the archetypal Hero, and why the journey of the Soul is so important for humans.

E273 Final Thoughts

Well, I hope you enjoyed that conversation. I love sitting on the other side of the interview, especially when I get someone I really jive with like Beth. If you like her stuff as much as I do, go subscribe to her excellent podcast The King Hero’s Journey.
