Hello Jerry, Joe and all readers.
I am a recent convert to your wonderful podcast. I heard Joe speak on a few other shows and was naturally directed here. It is now one of my favourite podcasts.
I do have a question/show suggestion for you.
From my own experiences, I am well aware that the world is run in a way that the 'average' people have little control over. And of course we all know that we can only really control our own reaction or behaviour to a situation.
With this in mind, I would like to request two elements for you to discuss.
1) I think money is harder and harder to come by for the average person. We might not be average in the sense that we question and think freely, but nevertheless for younger people and somewhere between young and old like myself, money is very hard to come by once you detach from the system.
I do think there is often an element of certain hosts or guests on shows who discuss controversial issues, not having to really worry about money. In fact, it is because they don't have to worry about this, or find ways to make it, that they can devote their time to such research. I think it would be useful for a practical show which could give us tips on how to 'make it' through this crazy world if we want to live off the grid. I am managing it but it is not by any means easy and "Think big" just doesn't cut it on a practical level.
2) I'd like to hear a discussion over solutions to personable issues. I find people more apathetic than ever and so completely enmeshed in their own bubble. I'd like to hear ways in which we can encourage interaction with each other that is not limited to discussions such as this one, or online networking. So, how to disrobe a stubborn person intellectually, and also how to connect more deeply to those of a like minded approach, i.e. we want to seek the truth. Where are we all in everyday conversation?
I believe the two issues above are fundamental to us being able to solve the problem of how we live in the modern society whilst fighting everything we need to. I know the game is rigged, but what can we do about it, not to change the world, but to change our surroundings and therefore ourselves?
Would love to hear some feedback as well as a show about it. Hell, I'll even talk to you on there to ask some of these questions. I could even talk about oligarchs a little
