Communism, Capitalism, Energy, Bitcoin, & AI: Aleks Svetski (Bitcoin Talk)

Walker is joined by Aleks Svetski, an author, speaker and entrepreneur. He co-authored a fantastic book with Mark Moss called The Uncommunist Manifesto, a rebuttal to Marx and Engels The Communist Manifesto.He’s also building Spirit of Satoshi, a Bitcoin-centric AI.The conversation centers around Communism, Capitalism, Bitcoin and Energy. We unpack some of the misconceptions people have about both communism and capitalism, and talk about how to reframe these discussions. We also dig into how much communism has already infected our world, even here in the supposedly “capitalist” United States of America.Go to bitbox.swiss/walker and use promo code WALKER for 5% off the Bitbox02 Bitcoin-only hardware wallet.*****SVETSKI’S LINKS:X: https://twitter.com/SvetskiWrites Website: https://linktr.ee/svetski Spirit of Satoshi: https://www.spiritofsatoshi.ai/ ***** WALKER’S LINKS:FOLLOW ON NOSTR: https://primal.net/walker Npub: npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4uFOLLOW ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/walkeramericahttps://twitter.com/titcoinpodcastWATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@walkeramericaWATCH ON RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/user/WalkerAmerica\BITCOIN PODCAST WEBSITE: https://bitcoinpodcast.net00:00 Introduction and Setting the Stage02:56 The Incompatibility of Bitcoin and the Current Paradigm11:09 The Absurdity of the Current Monetary System20:27 The Misunderstanding of Communism and the Communist Manifesto35:36 The Destructive Nature of Communist Ideals46:16 The Absurdity and Contradictions of Marx's Ideas47:04 Understanding Communism and its Authoritarian Nature52:33 The Infiltration of Communism and its Destruction59:11 Reclaiming the Meaning of Authority01:00:08 The Importance of Energy and its Efficient Use01:08:31 The Relationship Between Energy and Human Flourishing01:19:08 The Three Buckets of Wastage: Money, Misallocation, and Consumerism01:31:19 The Intersection of AI and Bitcoin01:35:57 Bitcoin as an Educational Tool01:36:40 Recommended Reading01:38:31 Bitcoin Times Publication
