In Episode 6 The Bitcoin Policy Hour, the Bitcoin Policy Institute team unpacks the emerging “Riyadh Accord,” a sweeping geopolitical realignment where the United States, Saudi Arabia, and other Gulf nations are bundling AI, Bitcoin, and techno-industrial leverage into a new framework of global influence.As Blackwell chips begin to replace F-35s as diplomatic bargaining tools, and sovereign wealth funds quietly accumulate Bitcoin, Riyadh is fast becoming the epicenter of digital energy, intelligence infrastructure, and monetary power. The conversation explores how U.S. foreign policy is shifting from military entanglements toward high-tech trade agreements and capital co-investments — with AI and Bitcoin at the core.PLUS, they explore the recent slew of BTC treasury companies amping up activity and how they fit into the picture of jurisdictional and memetic arbitrage.Chapters:00:00 - Introduction01:45 - What Is the “Riyadh Accord”?07:30 - Blackwell Chips Replace F-35s in Middle East Bargains13:30 - AGI Infrastructure: Will the AI Run Happen in Riyadh?17:00 - A New Multipolar World Centered on Energy and Compute21:00 - Samourai Wallet, Legal Overreach, and Bitcoin's Core Ethos26:30 - Policy Hypocrisy: Bitcoin Freedom vs. Surveillance State31:00 - AI Feudalism and the Fight for Decentralized Money36:00 - The Open Source AI vs. Corporate Subscription Future41:00 - Bearer Assets: Bitcoin, GPUs, and Energy as Sovereign Tools46:00 - Global Reflexivity and Bitcoin Treasury Companies51:00 - Metaplanet, Nakamoto, and the Meme Wrapped in Arbitrage56:00 - Bitcoin's Geopolitical Moment: What Comes Next?01:01:00 - Closing Thoughts: Bitcoin Banks, Policy Risks, and Meme Economics⭐ Join top policymakers, technologists, and Bitcoin industry leaders at the 2025 Bitcoin Policy Summit, June 25–26 in Washington, D.C.

The essay argues that a deflationary economy, characterized by high trust and productivity, is inherently more beneficial than an inflationary one. It claims that the white race progressed due to a deflationary economy until capitalism, which requires inflation, emerged. Feudalism and mercantilism contributed to the development of capitalism by accumulating capital for investment. However, progress and innovation are inherently deflationary, as they enable higher productivity with less labor, suggesting that the cost of goods should decrease, not increase, over time. The current system, however, necessitates inflation, contradicting the natural outcome of reduced production costs.

For many people, work simply isn't working anymore. Wages have stagnated while the cost of living continues to rise. Endless hours in front of a screen leave us burnt out. More often than not, the labor we do feels disconnected from any real purpose. But what if there was another way? Imagine a future where small communities live in harmony with the land, and the work we do is rooted in care for each other, for the earth, and for ourselves. It may sound idealistic and overly simplistic, but isn't there something undeniably appealing about that vision?Today, we're thrilled to be speaking with Megan Leatherman, founder of A Wild New Work, a career development agency with a refreshing twist. Megan helps her clients uncover their passions and craft more fulfilling professional lives, while also guiding them to reconnect with nature, align with the rhythms of the seasons, and trust their own inner wisdom.In this conversation, we explore what's broken about our current work culture, how we arrived here, and how we might begin to cultivate meaningful, grounded lives in a world shaped by capitalism and social media.Show NotesA Wild New WorkA Wild New Work: The PodcastFollow A Wild New Work on InstagramCaliban and the Witch: Women, The Body, and Primitive Accumulation by Silvia FedericiComposting CapitalismRise Up RootedBiophilic Solutions We'd love to hear from you!Keywords: work, capitalism, history, nature, ancestors, modern work, change, feudalism, community, sustainability, organized labor, socialism, community, adulthood, land connection, cultural shifts, personal growth, nature, aliveness, uncertaintyBiophilic Solutions is available wherever you get podcasts.

In this episode, I discussed how Capitalism came into being, broadly, and how this process and its contradictions have led us to where we are today. I speak generally about how Feudalism was thrown into the dustbin of history through the collective action of the poor in alliance with the newly forming Capitalist class, and how this class of exploiters took advantage of the people's will to seize power for themselves. We discuss the movement towards Capitalism, the transition from "Free Market Capitalism" to Imperialism, how Imperialism, monopolies, and crises are a part of Capitalism's natural development, and how this intrinsic logic led us to today. In the next episode I intend to go deeper into the last 80-100 years to show how history doesn't exactly "repeat itself" but rather, comes in echoes. All Power to the People!

Dr. William Lazonick is an economist who studies innovation and competition in the global economy, who has recently been focusing on the corrosive role of stock buybacks. We invited him on to explain why this widespread financial practice is such a bad idea in his eyes, and in return were provided with a comprehensive model of what makes a successful economy. In short, Lazonick believes that no economic system can survive without "the firm," the kind of old school corporate organization that maintained a stable a social contract with its workers, sometimes over the course of an entire lifetime. In Lazonick's view, all economic growth and progress comes down to the ability of the firm to honor that social contract, which means he traces the slump we're in to the death of this tradition. But the question is, what caused us to become eternally itinerant workers in search of global opportunties, hopping from job to job every few years? Lazonick's got that answer, too. He points to a radical transformation of our financial and economic system that came to a head in the 1970s.

Our history must be claimed. Feudalism and capitalism cast children as private property to use, abuse, exploit, or love. This podcast explores our common history through a Marxist lens. In case we need the footnote it follows: Lloyd deMause The History of Childhood. Psychohistory Press, New York. 1974   Learn more about CHH:  We make it a point to provide the show free of ads.

You're gonna need a hot shower with an abrasive loofah sponge after listening to this one. It's another wild ride with Hawk as he continues to delve into the twisted minds of far-right Christian nationalists hellbent on establishing a real-life Gilead (not the land of milk and honey one, rather the one where everyone is evil). First up is Russell Vaught, a "battle-tested bureaucrat" who wants to turn the presidency into an absolute dictatorship if Trump gets re-elected. With his "radical constitutionalism" agenda, Vaught dreams of mass deportations, criminalizing abortion nationwide, and unleashing the military on American soil to crush dissent. What a sweetheart.But wait, there's more! We also meet the Society for American Civic Renewal (SACR for short), a creepy men's club that wants to create a patriarchal Christian ethnostate. Their goals include expelling non-Christians, stripping LGBTQ rights, and reviving feudalism à la apartheid South Africa. And it's all run by a shampoo mogul calling himself the "Maximum Leader" from his poetically named "Howdy Doody Good Times Foundation." You can't make this stuff up! First a pillow guy and now a shampoo guy? What's next, the truck nuts guy?In the end, Hawk is left feeling spiritually polluted after diving down this unsettling rabbit hole of white Christian extremism. At least these wackos provide unintentional comic relief amidst their chilling authoritarianism and hate-filled bigotry. It's both hilarious and terrifying how these wealthy radicals are dead serious about their unhinged fantasies of religious ethnic cleansing.

Happy Monday! Sam and Emma speak with Yanis Varoufakis, economics professor and former Finance Minister of Greece, to discuss his recent book Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on continuing US arms sales to Israel, infrastructure regulation, Florida's Medicaid dump, New Jersey's ballot design, and new reports on racial biases in medicine, also watching Christiane Amanpour talk with Zahiro-Shahar Mor about Israel's failing genocide. Professor Yanis Varoufakis then joins, first walking through the evolution from Feudalism's formula of land ownership and rent extraction to Capitalism's formula of the ownership of the means of production and profit extraction, before diving into his concept of “Technofeudalism,” a rising system of digital fiefdoms – Amazon a primary example – where products not produced by the owner of the platforms are sold with a massive rent extraction. Expanding on this, Professor Varoufakis explores the role of these platforms' ownership of the means of behavioral modification (via the extraction of data, once again, not produced by them) as an example of what he calls “cloud capital,” which takes up massive proportions of the global GDP and siphons it off from the labor market, before stepping back to analyze the role of the 2008 financial crisis and the commitment to the neoliberal dynamic of austerity for the people, socialism for the banks, in allowing the private world to funnel massive amounts of investment into cloud capital and allow existing companies (Meta, Google, Amazon, etc) to establish these digital fiefdoms. Wrapping up, Professor Yanis Varoufakis tackles the role that various fiscal and anti-trust policies, the idea of a bill of digital rights, and workplace democratization could play in helping to reclaim and reshape these technofeudalist fiefdoms. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Ramy Youssef say ‘Free Palestine' to rapturous applause on SNL, Rep. Tim Walberg gets caught on camera calling for the genocide of Gaza, and Donald Trump Jr. talks hunting. They also watch Olayemi Olurin school Eric Adams on the Breakfast Club as they tackle the insane fear-mongering around crime in NYC, like “selling fruit” and “smoking weed,” plus, your IMs!

They're creating records about all of us, and that's a really scary thing.” "That data is forever … You have no control over what societal norms might change in the next 10 years and that data suddenly becomes incriminating.

The Human Freedom Index ranks countries according to how free, and market-oriented they are. Not only are people less lonely in capitalist countries, but Norberg points out that "if you increase freedom by one point, you reduce loneliness levels by six percentage points.” But I tell Norberg, "Under capitalism, people compete. Sounds divisive. Sounds like it would pull us apart.” "Feudalism, communism, fascism... that's divisive. That's all based on getting resources by taking them from somebody else. What capitalism does is that it forces us to think, 'what does the other guy want?'” says Norberg. That's because, under capitalism, to sell someone something, you have to please them.

Really? 33 million Americans are hungry? ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— “That's just not true,” says Rachel Sheffield, a researcher at The Heritage Foundation. “'Food insecure' adults are more likely to be consuming too many calories rather than too few," The government always tries to create a crisis. “Government programs tend to want to keep themselves going,” says Sheffield. But their handouts harm the very people they are meant to help. “We've spent more on the war on poverty than all the military wars combined in the United States without any success.” The result? Increased dependency on government! Expanding the welfare system seems to be the government's main goal. The food insecurity myth and others, like "food desserts,” are debunked in the video above.     https://youtu.be/w1pRw9hTfIs?si=IsnzdnDcYTb3YbE6 Rand Paul: What They Didn't Want You To Know About Covid, the Lab Leak, and Fauci John Stossel 893K subscribers 346,973 views Oct 24, 2023 Top scientists tried to cover up the origin of Covid, according to Senator Rand Paul. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— In his new book “Deception: The Great Covid Cover-Up,” Paul backs up his claims about a Covid lab leak from a research facility funded by Anthony Fauci. “It looks like it came from the lab,” Senator Rand Paul tells me. “America funded it. It was maybe not done with evil intentions. It was done with the misguided notion that gain of function research was safe.” Gain of function research includes making viruses more deadly or infectious, in order to develop vaccines. Paul argues that gain of function is a risk to civilization. :We could wind up with a lethal virus that leaks out of a lab and kills half of the planet." You can watch the video above for more on why Paul thinks Covid came from a lab, and how officials tried to cover it up.   https://youtu.be/D0BQ87MAEvQ?si=0LZU8E1aW7EGysbz California's Green Dream: Coming to YOUR State!? John Stossel 893K subscribers 253,525 views Oct 17, 2023 Pennsylvania regulators are forcing truck drivers to buy trucks outside Pennsylvania. The crazy part: they didn't even make the rules; they were made by California. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— “We have no say, we can't do anything about it,” says Brian Wanner the owner of Peter Brothers Trucking, “I don't want to be anything like California.” But that's too bad, because Pennsylvania's Environmental Quality Board decided to automatically copy rules from California. The newest rules will raise the cost of new trucks by more than $50,000. The regulators say these rules are important to stop pollution. That's dumb, says Wanner, “In 1980, 1 truck produced as much as 60 trucks today.” “So, we want people to buy new trucks,” I ask? “You want people to buy new trucks,” responds Wanner. “But if you put these costs on us that we cannot afford, we're going to just run the older trucks.” That's something the regulators don't think about. In fact, there's a lot they don't think about. Their decision hurts truck sellers, won't stop pollution, could be unconstitutional, and will only get more expensive when California mandates "all electric." All that and more in the video above.   https://youtu.be/ERXkTh--okQ?si=Ruvv9q378H7k_QmI When Police Wreck Your Property and Leave You With the Bill John Stossel 893K subscribers 246,126 views Oct 10, 2023 What happens if police destroy your property while trying to catch a bad guy? Do they compensate you? For many the answer is: NO! ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— Innocent print shop owner Carlos Pena had his shop wrecked by police. “All the work of my life … just got ruined!” says Pena. Police destroyed his shop trying to catch a man who barricaded himself inside the shop. Pena thought he'd be reimbursed. But after a year spent trying to navigate the bureaucracy, he hasn't received anything. “They just gave me numbers to call. And when you call, they referred me to somebody else,” explains Pena, “It's unbearable!” Lawyer Jeffrey Redfern of the Institute for Justice took his case for free because he says what happened to Pena is unconstitutional. “We want to make it clear,” explains Redfern, “when police destroy innocent people's property, they have to pay for the damage that they did.” If you'd like to help Pena recover his life, here is a Go-Fund-Me page set up to help him: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-for-c...   https://youtu.be/jFgg8f6-dx4?si=sUXAf2UrtB5iAnSj The "Pregnant Workers Fairness Act” Will Hurt The Women It's Supposed To Help.
