What does this episode’s P.M.M. stand for?
Although the Globalists are a cabal of evil lizards, we have each other to confide in.
Intro Music: Ungovernable Misfits – I Hate You
What’s the Meshtadel been up to?
The Meshtadel has been active, with developments including the launch of the SuperTestNet’s BitPac, which can be viewed on his Github. Fundamentals from the Rock Paper Bitcoin podcast discusses the Meshtadel on his pod and provides great value to both PMM and Meshtadel groups. Conversations are ongoing about industrial farming versus regenerative agriculture in the Pleb Miner Mafia chat. We compare and contrast Meshtadel related content on Stacker News and publications on Ungovernable Misfits. We like to think Stacker News provides great utility, but on UngovernableMisfits.com our stories are presented with superior aesthetics. Barnminer consults on mining with another Meshtadelian and Travis Bitckle creatively repurposes a T17 server housing into a birdhouse, which puts a little birdhouse, in our souls.
Parent-led Motivation Mentorship
Jon discusses he and Sarah’s experiences with homeschooling during COVID-era madness. Our strategy for navigating the public school system involves coaching, volunteering, and knowing the teachers and administrators. Max discusses his optimal school experience and what decisions will be made for his children’s education. We also explored Waldorf Schools, Montessori, Hillsdale Affiliate Schools, and homeschooling options, including various homeschool curriculums. Resources to enrich children's learning experiences include bookishadventure.com, which provides material and activities related to books. Max and Jon chat about passing along wisdom and encouraging kids to lean into their aptitudes. We discuss apprenticeships, craft guilds, and the view that school primarily teaches obedience, homeschooling on a homestead, and the unique needs of gifted children.

They Brought the War to your Living Room by Charles-François-Bienvenu Myriel
Good stories are timeless in nature and reveal universal truths. Fiction, through narratives like "Lord of the Rings," offers insights that remain relevant for all time, illustrating choices faced when confronting pure fucking evil. Charles Myriel points this out in Frodo and Gandalf's discussion in the Mines of Moria. The saying "Ignorance is Bliss" applies here, as facing harmful control involves risks and conflicts, especially against authorities and their enforcers who claim to be "just doing their job." The repercussions of challenging societal norms can include job loss due to vaccine mandates and being ostracized from the rest of society. Similarly, the common folk's defiance of government actions mirrors Frodo's quest, demonstrating how individuals can triumph over formidable global forces. Max is Legolas and Jon is Gimli, what LOTR character are you?

For your safety. Big pharma, big banks, income tax, VAT, The Illuminati Elite, Cultural Marxism, Critical Theory.
[00:00:14] Unknown:
You are nothing.
[00:00:15] Unknown:
You are are nothing to me. You're a useless fucking cunt. You are nothing to me. That's right, globalists. You are nothing. You are nothing to me. And why is that the case?
[00:00:31] Unknown:
Because there's the other 2 little cunts.
[00:00:35] Unknown:
Oh, I I said, because we have each other. I thought that was nice. And then you go with, they're cunts. That's true, they are. Yig and Yang. Hollywood. Let's get right into it, Max. Nachtigal update. I'd like to update you on things in the mistrial because you can't read. No? In these first few updates.
[00:00:55] Unknown:
You, you sound horrible. Is this because the soundboard's going?
[00:00:59] Unknown:
Yeah. Probably because the soundboard is going. Okay. Alright. That's fine then. I don't mean to sound horrible. It'll all be in and out. I don't mean to look horrible, but sometimes these things just slip through. Mhmm. That is the truth. We'll see as we continue to record. First update in the mesh2del, Supertestnet. He is the one that created the bitpack. Look up Supertestnet's GitHub if you're one of them nerdy types. If you would like to use the Bitpack for yourself, whatever your organization is, check out GitHub and Supertestnet. He has lots of stuff. He's quite a prolific Bitcoin coder type guy.
But check that out. Also in the mesh to del, friend Fundamentals has joined the mesh to del and I said on the last episode, which was Ungovernable Misfit section news, that he recently joined the mesh to del and gave a shout out on rock paper Bitcoin. I love him being in the mesh del because he's kind of different than how he is on his podcast with, business cat. Business cat. You may know him from the video that we made for Pled Minor Month, the one that made the the, the minor beef jerky. Mhmm. Do you remember that is like panned across his whole kitchen? And there was a minor drying out all kinds of beef jerky. So that's his partner in their podcast. But fundamentals, when he's interacting in the Blood Miner mafia, like with baseload and playing the jukebox and stuff like that, he's a lot more different than when he's in the Mestudel, you know, which is all about cooperation and we sort of have a purpose in there and it's less, locker room talk in the Meschendel as compared to the Pleb minor mafia. John Can confirm. John Haskell: In the Pleb minor mafia, today there's been a very good discussion between Wilson Mining, the Wilson boys, who also run an industrial farm, and a lot of the permaculture guys that are in there. Agrarian Contrarian and Carl. It's neat to see. I don't even think the Wilson boys know about the mesh to dollar. We have this other group where there's a bunch of farmers and permaculture enthusiasts talking about farming. And it's like the last thing they said was saying that it's completely unsustainable, industrial farming. And this generation of farmers, as compared to the boomers and as compared to the grandparents who, in the United States at least, they're most likely the ones who'd set up the farm, The grandparents, the great grandparents. The boomer generation was lucky enough to be able to live off the fruits of that previous labor. A farm that was bought for a couple $1,000 is now worth 10. And the kids that want to take it over, a lot of them have other fiat jobs.
They aren't allowed to be full time farmers. That's a discussion that many people have had in in the Bitcoin space and and, the mestadala has spoken about a lot. I'm only mentioning this because it's neat to see the discussion happen in the Pleb Modern Mafia, which reminds us of why the show's called PMM. It all weaves together. Spilling over, isn't it? Mhmm. Our friend, X Patriotic,
[00:03:49] Unknown:
does a lot of stuff on Stacker News. Have you ever been on Stacker News? I have. Yeah. I went on it when he mentioned it. It's kinda like a blog style
[00:03:59] Unknown:
that you can zap on, isn't it, basically? Mhmm. Yeah. Pretty cool. Yeah. It's pretty cool. Alex has been trying to convince me to get on Stacker News, and I was like, shit. I could just put show notes on Stacker News. I spend so much time writing it. Or we could just take you know, now that that Lincoln Park rules has really fixed up everything with the podcast and you can pull our transcripts, just pick an occasion where the 2 of us don't sound like fucking morons and split it up to us. Stacker News. Yeah. But there's there's bits. There's little bits in there. Sometimes. Mhmm. What about can you do, like, audio clips as well, or is it just writing? Oh, that would really that would really be cool. I don't know. I I Alex asked me, and I said, you know who who to ask the about this is Linkin Park rules. If anybody has time in the Ungoveled Misfits Organization, which he doesn't but might have interest, is him.
[00:04:50] Unknown:
Yes. Yeah. It'd be cool. Maybe do some clips on there as well. Was saying the other day, I'd really like to have the feature where people would zap articles on Ungovernal Misfits as well. So I have been pestering about that because that'd be cool. Be nice if, you know, someone writes an article and there's, like, some sort of SaaS split or something, but we've not quite worked out how to technically do that yet, but we'll get there. Yeah. The best I thought was
[00:05:15] Unknown:
anything that we post on The Govermisfits, just post on Stacker News also. That way the contributor, like X Patriotic did that. He published on Ungovertible Misfits and published on Stacker News. And so I thought to myself, well, Ungovertible Misfits is beautiful. It flows well. It's very easy to read. You know, you get a a stimulation for the senses. And Stacker News is is very bloggy type. So Mhmm. I don't know if there's some fusion. Smart people think of stuff. Yeah. Do stuff. Call to action.
[00:05:45] Unknown:
Well, Expatriotic put his on there. I think it was the highest boosted or zapped or whatever they call it, which is really cool to see. He wrote it for us and appreciate his time doing that. And whatever he earned on that, he ended up donating to the show. I think he's our top did he? Top booster. This guy handsome. He's our top booster by let me actually have a look quickly. Am I in my Saturn? Because I can see who's our top boosters in general. Was that in Saturn? Am I supposed to have that login? No. You're not gonna be you're not gonna be that one. No. You're not allowed near any of this sort of stuff, mate, with your fucking your hooves for hands. You fucking go in there and break it all. I can get in Pod home,
[00:06:29] Unknown:
wreck everything up if I want to. Expatriotic,
[00:06:32] Unknown:
top contributor to the show. 2nd is Late Stage Huddle. Of course. Yeah. 3rd is Set in Stone. 4th is Wilfred Allen. Oh, yeah. And 5th we're not going to do the rest of them. 5th is 8 Myth Randir. 8 Myth Randir with the sevens and sevens. Mhmm. Wonderful. So thank you to all of you. But, yeah, ex Patriotic
[00:06:55] Unknown:
has, whatever he earned there, he, spent much more supporting the show, and we appreciate you. What a guy. Yeah. Good dude. Oh, you know, I part of that too, he gave a good boost because he did a consultation with And, he's like, hey. Let me throw you some stats for for your great Baron Manning. And, Barna Miner was like, nope. Just boost on Ungovernable Misfits or some shit. No. He don't want nothing for nothing, that guy. That's very sweet. That was very sweet. A lot of sweet people surrounded by sweet people. Yes. That's why we're here to balance it out. One more sweet cute thing before we move on to the podcasting 2.0 boosts is Travis Bittcole sent this to me a little bit ago, but I keep forgetting to add it into a show where he made a birdhouse out of a t 17 Bitcoin mining server.
And it's just as cute as it can be. The little peak, is 2 boards,
[00:07:48] Unknown:
and then he drilled a hole in the bottom of it. Seems like the perfect housing for a bird. That's so sweet. And then as soon as one goes in there and starts to nest, he goes, ah, and then he turns the power on, and the fans munch it up. Barminder makes fucking jerky out of it. Permaculture.
[00:08:05] Unknown:
Permaculture principles.
[00:08:07] Unknown:
Not really. Doesn't really happen. He's just a nice guy. I've just taken it down to a dark level. Really, he, there's no fans involved. He's just a nice sweet man.
[00:08:16] Unknown:
Oh, you started the show out like that. Yeah. Put a little birdhouse in your soul. Alright, Max. This episode, last episode of PMM was boosted a 132,000
[00:08:30] Unknown:
sats. Wow. Bawling. Thank you very much, everyone. That's why it is because we got the sats boost in. I think for a long time, everyone was like, I know this is to help Max, you know, with his editing and everything else, but he's a bit of a cunt. We don't really wanna boost him. So I don't really wanna do that. And then when we announced now there's a sat split and everyone gets their piece, they're like, oh, well, you know, John's a good guy, and Lincoln Park rules he's a great guy. And Crown, he's a great guy. And, yeah, I wanna contribute to this. So we've suddenly seen an uptick. So thank you to everyone for that, and, thank you for putting this in place so we now have the sat split. Indeed. Thank you all. Late stage HODL, 55,555 sats.
Max's analysis of my last boost really made me laugh. John could be on to something as the first person to suggest schizophrenia. And now I'm really thinking Hopefully, I haven't spiraled into madness a month from now. Boosting now just in case, if the pool heater burns up the next set of minors, then I may be a lost cause. Or is it the minors burning up? Or is it the minors burning out the pool heater? Which one is the dog and which one is the tail? Wish me luck, and y'all keep up the good work, fuckers. I'm gonna fucking kill you.
[00:09:55] Unknown:
Oh, schizophrenia
[00:09:56] Unknown:
kicking in. Yeah. He didn't really say that. That's just me adding that in, but I imagine that's what happens. He sort of thinks. He thinks, oh, good work. You fucking cunt's hurt. Die.
[00:10:06] Unknown:
Late stage, good luck with the build. Nothing but good luck and prayers. If everybody could just throw out some good vibe I will do. Late stage on this build, please do. Good luck. It sounds like you need it, mate. Fundamentals,
[00:10:17] Unknown:
20,000 sats. I'm not don't put the sats value in because I will read it. I'm like Ron Burgundy. I'll read whatever's in front of me. I read it badly, but I will read it. Sorry. You guys are a role model for pleb podcasts. Beautiful, well produced content, but also a community that works and lives the values, killing it. I said I'm not gonna cry, but I'm ready. Let that out.
[00:10:46] Unknown:
You be you. It's okay. Thanks, mate. That means a lot. Virtual consulting and back patting. That's nice to hear. Thank you. Lake Satoshi, I vote to add the segment Carl's Corner. And now Carl's Corner. Late stay total boosted again. 2nd boost, 10000 sats. I had to chime in again because people giving you shit for Zoom and then not offering to help is typical in any experience, not just podcasting. Also appreciate you talking about block parties. During curve COVID, our block party had cookouts all the time and called them protests. Just a joke. It's hard to have individualism in the yuppiesque town I live in, but communal living is something our close knit friend group is working on. Very good for you, late stage hog. Yeah. Good to hear. Do 20 s 10000 sets. Great episode. Have more kids.
Okay. I'm I'm done, bro. I'm done. Yeah. You you keep keeping on, my brother.
[00:11:42] Unknown:
There's a limit, isn't there? There's only so many eyes and hands and sats
[00:11:48] Unknown:
and brain cells. Just don't want to be decrepit and old at a high school graduation.
[00:11:54] Unknown:
Yeah. Be that old dad that just can't connect with the kids. Yeah. We had a few of those at my school, like the sort of fit moms with the rich, old, decrepit dads and the kids that just don't connect with them. You know the type. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's sad. Basically it. Except for the rich part. Yeah.
[00:12:14] Unknown:
We're gonna talk a lot more about kids' education as the the episode moves along. Another late stage HODL 1. Oh, that's you, Maximo Von Bittenstein.
[00:12:24] Unknown:
Stepping on my shit. Mhmm. Fuck's sake. Late stage huddle. 3rd boost. Who puts the value in there? If I can put it in there. What a bitch. 3rd boost, 3,865 sats. I know I can count on them if shit if s h t f. Shit hits the fan. Oh, okay. Alright. I'm not cool enough to know this sort of stuff. If shit hits the fan, but now we need to venture out into the country, to the farmland, and increase our circle. Keep up the good work, y'all. Hopefully, that stream of consciousness made sense. Yeah. Sort of. Yeah. Yeah. I got it. Yeah. I got it. Wartime psychopath.
[00:13:04] Unknown:
He's actually just a trick. That was a trick. You didn't fall for it. Smart man. Yeah.
[00:13:10] Unknown:
What a sneaky sneaky weasel. War time psychopath. Says stuff and things. Bon. Quack quack, fuckers. Shadrach. Is that how I say it? Shadrach? Not Shadrach. Shadrach.

Shadrach. Meshach. Shadrach. Minors. Bible references. Oh, are they? What's it mean? Oh, they're the ones that went, or you're gonna quiz me now. Went with to Babylon Mhmm. And served at the court with Joseph when Joseph was interpreting dreams.
[00:13:47] Unknown:
You make the bible fun, mate. Yeah. She says fun bible stories. It was just you asked me off the top of my head. I think it was the delivery. It's not so much that I'm not slacking off the bible here. It's just it's just the way to do it. Because I had to think. It wasn't in bible mode. Okay. Alright. Well, always be ready. Always be shilling. Heart. Heart. Heart. All in orange. What a sweetie.
[00:14:09] Unknown:
SolEx. I thought you named the cow SolEx because it was full of bullshit laughing winky tongue out face. Adjikute. Adjikute. I don't know. This episode won't play and it bullies the fountain app. Out of responding. Has some stats anyways. I bet the episode was great. Also, 1500 stats is exactly €1,000 at the moment of posting. How Chad f boosted 1,111 sets. You guys have to read the amounts of the boost. It's just as important as the message. For example, 1111 is a bag of dicks or Satchel of Richards. Suit 2,222 is a row of ducks.
We have a GitHub somewhere with a huge list, and when I find it, I'll add it here. And he did just that, and there are some other goofy ones in there. 10 is a bowler donation. Get a bowler instead of baller. It's cute. Okay. That's very cute. My favorite one is a boob's donation, which is 8,008. You remember those calculators back in the day? Never forget, mate. I still do. And you would type in, like, 555 378008. Yeah. And you can do hello as well, I'm pretty sure. No. Hell, that's boring. Boobs. Boobs and boobless. Okay. Okay. Fine. Only once. Well, Chad f, we'll we'll take that into consideration. Mhmm. Maybe.
[00:15:40] Unknown:
Pies. I love fighting lizard cunts. Put me in, coach. I imagine he's talking about, like, lizard people. Yeah. Not actual lizard because lizards are alright. I like lizards. When I was on holiday, I saw a monitor lizard just running along in front of me, and I was like, that's fucking cool. I like you. I'd never fight a lizard. I'd like you monitor lizard. Yeah. I liked it. But I don't like the lizard human what are they what are they like lizards? They have skins of humans, but they're lizards and they put them on and then they, like, go into politics and stuff. Yes. That's exactly Okay. That's exactly the case. Yeah. Okay. Fair enough. I also love fighting lizard cunts, so we'll fight them together, mate. Also from Pies, fuckers.
Mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, rocket, rocket, rocket, rocket, rocket, rocket, beers, beers, beers. Salute, salute, salute, salute. Strong-arm, strong-arm, strong-arm, strong-arm.

[00:16:52] Unknown:
So I I am I get, I get shown up on bible knowledge here. Mhmm. After I said that, I felt that that doesn't feel right, so I looked it up. Okay. Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego were the ones thrown into a fire by Nebuchadnezzar Okay. But made it out unharmed.
[00:17:10] Unknown:
Were they wearing fire retardant clothing or something? Mhmm. What if they had that? Just god. God was the fire. God. Yeah. Yeah. I suppose they have great news. He's so fucking good at stuff. Pretty much. Yeah. Is there anything does he have any sort of flaws anywhere, or is he just perfect? God? Mhmm.
[00:17:29] Unknown:
There is no flaws, sir. None. Okay. Not a one. Perfect. If you think there is one, you're mistaken because you're just a human.
[00:17:38] Unknown:
Okay. That's true. But he made me, so he made a mistake in making the mistake Nope. No mistakes. No mistakes. You are not a mistake.
[00:17:45] Unknown:
Now your parents made a mistake, but not God. That's what they
[00:17:49] Unknown:
they've always my parents have always told me that I was a mistake. Well, that's a mistake. That's what I'm saying. They made the mistake.
[00:17:54] Unknown:
Okay. God didn't. That's good to know. Well, I'm glad we've cleared that up on ungovernable misfits
[00:18:01] Unknown:
Bible Talk. Let's not make that a section.
[00:18:04] Unknown:
I don't think so. And now, we're gonna get into the show here. One of the mesh to delians was nice enough to send in that little bit of music, and I decided to use it as bumper music. That was fundamentals. Very nice. Banging on the guitar.
[00:18:33] Unknown:
They recorded that themselves.
[00:18:35] Unknown:
They did record that themselves. Yeah. That's very cool. Thank you. I'd like to get away from a lot of the the copyrighted music that we use in the shows and I don't. More pleb submissions.
[00:18:45] Unknown:
I tell. No. I like it. I like the fact that we're sort of just doing what we're not supposed to be doing. Something funny about that. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Like, it is kind of fun. And also, the other Fanboys. Yeah. And if someone was like, oh, you're copywriting the music? It's like, no. No. No. We're not. We I think maybe we should say who the music's from because we put our little touch on things. I do I do on the show notes. Yeah. So I think if any if anyone has an issue, they can come and speak to us. If anyone who's made the music feels that they're being stolen from, I think that would be unreasonable, and come and talk to us. We'll get you on the show. Yeah. I'm sure ZZ Top's is gonna give us a send us an email I would think so. A letter. Yeah. PGP.
[00:19:25] Unknown:
In the mesh to del, we have our monthly mesh to del call. As everybody knows, it is the 8th of the month at 200 UTC, and maybe on 21st if we're feeling randy. This particular conversation was the parent led motivation and mentorship mashtadel. See all the p's and m's in there? I like it. What we wanted to do was for everybody to share their approach to educating their children. Do you homeschool? Do you cyber school? If your kids go to a public education, how do they deal with that? How do you deal with the teachers, the system, the teachers union, the school board? Some tips and tricks on educating your children, and we shared them in the mesh to del. We didn't record this mesh to del, so I don't have any clips. I didn't want to record because I felt people would probably be withholding because now we're talking about kids and family and your home life, not, like, your personal anarchic opinions on permaculture and money. Yes. Different as well. So we didn't record it. Yeah. Yeah. But I I took some notes, and I'm going to share them with anonymity as to who the source of the notes is. Okay. I started off the mesh to del just by sharing with everybody our experience during COVID, Homeschooling.
It wasn't pretty, which is why we don't homeschool in general now. Probably the number one reason is the kids like school. They like our school system a lot. All of our kids especially loved our elementary school. Number 1 loved it. She's now in middle school, but looks fondly back on elementary school. And if we were to tell her at that time, we're gonna pull you out of elementary school and homeschool you, she would have lost her shit. And same thing with number 2. Like, number 2 is the queen of the elementary school. They pistol whipped you with their Glocks. Yeah.
[00:21:13] Unknown:
Daddy, you're not homeschooling me. Where's my fucking glock?
[00:21:18] Unknown:
I pistol whip you? She's the queen of the elementary school.
[00:21:22] Unknown:
You know, she's popular. Kids call her all the time. Can number 2 come and and spend the night? Can she come and go to a baseball game with us? Can she go away for the weekend with us to a water park? She is cool. She's cool. Yeah.
[00:21:35] Unknown:
I think she's a lot better with other families than us, but, I don't know. She's quite popular. So we had that experience at home. I would come home. Sarah would have her head down on the dining room table. Number 2, who was in kindergarten at that time, would be crying because she was just learning how to read. Brilliant. The number 3, who was a toddler, would be crawling all over the place. And number 1 would be the one watching her. So that didn't work out with our ages, the personality of our kids, our home situation, Sarah's level of patience.
It really just wasn't for us. But we are happy that we have a good public school system here. You know, in the United States, a lot is controlled by your state as far as education is concerned, but a lot is dictated by the local school board in your school district. So, we purposefully moved to this area because of the house and the property and the neighborhood and everything, but the school system was a part of that. So I shared tips, and I will share them now on this program, in dealing with your public school system. Now listen, if you're in inner city New York or Chicago public schools, you're fucked. The teachers' unions run everything there in your broken, pathetic inner cities. You should be rich Alright, man. Or homeschool. Yeah. That's what I have to say. And now if it's like that in the UK, I I don't know. Pretty much. In in my opinion, there's probably not you can do because the teachers' unions are so powerful in in those public schools. But for us, a small county, small community, what we do is try to make friends with everybody, literally. You know, Sarah does hair, and she does the hair of a lot of the teachers. You know, I always say that the bartender or the hairdresser knows everybody,
[00:23:24] Unknown:
you know, better better than any other vocation. Yeah. And when you're that close to someone's jugular with scissors, it's very easy to explain why they should be nice to your kids, and they should instill the values that you care about, isn't it? You're gonna try to make my kid a communist? Yeah.
[00:23:42] Unknown:
Get the straight razor. We've always been very involved with the kids in the school because we want to be a part of that. We want them to know that we are a part of your education even though you aren't in our home. And we don't feel that homeschooling is right for us at at this time. We really like the principal. We know members of the school board. We know pretty much all of the teachers. You know, we just went away for the weekend. And instead of going through this whole rigmarole with submitting, absence forms, we pulled them out of school on Friday. Sarah just texts their teachers, their personal phone numbers. Hey. Number 2 is not gonna be in today. What's the assignment? Oh, she was supposed to have a test on Monday, but now it's on Tuesdays. Tell her not to worry about it, and let her just enjoy her weekend. That connectivity between the educators and the parents is very necessary, and if possible, make it happen. But also know That sounds nice. Yeah. Also know when you're helpless.
Max, your child isn't there yet. But what plans do you guys have for
[00:24:41] Unknown:
schooling? I honestly don't know. Mhmm. R one is, how do I phrase this nicely? A fucking tsunami and Carnage. Is carnage. It is proper carnage. And it's not just me that says it. Like, anyone that meets this kid is like, wow. Okay. That's an experience. So I'm not sure. Like, I like the idea of homeschooling, but I have a feeling that is not gonna be, a, we don't have any fucking time because we both work full time. So, you know, that is a well, more than full time, actually. So that is pretty difficult. And and with that kind of personality, probably not the best. But then at the same time, just a normal school, like, sit here, write outlines, read off the board, that kind of stuff. That's not gonna work. Oh, man. It it's it's not I think this kid is similar to what I was like at school, and it was horrendous.
So I've heard a lot about this kind of, like, Montessori type of schooling where it's more like learning through play or learning through doing. A friend of mine got pulled out of school because they were similar to me, and they went to another school where they would, like, learn about history and how a certain road was built or whatever. The but they'd actually be, like, laying down, like, paving things and doing things as they're learning. And they did really well with it. So, like, my kid just loves being outside and just, like, tearing around and, like, is very intrigued by stuff. So I don't want them sat in front of a whiteboard just being read out out of a book. That is not gonna not gonna inspire them. So I don't know. It I guess it depends where life takes us. If I could afford to, I'd probably hire tutors and do things sort
[00:26:28] Unknown:
of somewhere in the middle, but we'll see. I don't know. My opinion is, and this was our experience, that private school our availability of private schools here, which is the Catholic school and this Christian school, which has always kind of tripped us off as a little bit weird. Not on the Christian sense, but I don't know. I can't explain it. It always just seemed a little bit off to us. Okay. And then there's going to be a an affiliate school here soon that is opening up in the there was a large hotel here with a big banquet center and conference center and stuff like that that has been shut down for a while, and they're gonna turn that into a k through 8, maybe, like a k through 8 school. And that's an affiliate school of Hillsdale College. So, a lot of people in the United States, Canada, and across the world might know Hillsdale because they offer a lot of free college courses on American history. So they offer a a free college course for the constitution. They're very conservative, right wing kind of deal. So now they'll have an affiliate school here. When we went to do our research, we didn't like the Catholic school at all. We thought that Christian school was weird, and we were already friends with a couple teachers. And one of the teachers said to us, oh, yeah. We've had students from that school. And they come into our classroom, and they're way behind. Oh. They're 6 months to a year behind everybody else in the class. So, you know, it's not a one size fits all. You have to do your research on the private schools as well. Oh, yeah. For sure. And, you know, let's be real. I don't know what the costs are over there, but we can't afford a fucking private school.
[00:28:00] Unknown:
I mean, you're talking the private schools around here, and we do it in dollar terms, so, like, between 35 to $60,000 a year. Oh. Something like that. That's for the young kids. And, you know, you got a couple of kids. Like, how the fuck are you paying that? I don't know. Whatever you earn, the government's gonna take half. And then, you know so you've gotta be earning some serious money to even consider sending your kids to private school. I've got a friend who does it. He earns quite well, but they can't go on holidays. They can't ever do anything they wanna do. They work themselves to death to put their 3 kids through private school. Mhmm. And you've got to ask yourself, like, is this worth it? Like, what what are you getting for it? And do your research. But, I mean, obviously, there's nothing more important than the education of your children, but I wouldn't say that necessarily throwing money at the
[00:28:56] Unknown:
problem, but throwing money at the situation is necessarily the best. It might be research. We've got a few people in the message that I'll send their kids to Waldorf Schools. I've never heard of that. Somebody asked me the other day, did you guys cover Montessori Schools? We didn't, but apparently, you have some know some people that that have done it. Mhmm. Hillsdale affiliate schools, Catholic schools. It's just a matter of doing your research. Mhmm. If you're able to, and there are a few in the mestudelon on this call that actually do the homeschool thing. The big question was, for me at least, where do you get your curriculum from? And there are a number of online resources for curriculums, but they don't even have to be all just one one size fits all curriculum. You can get choose this resource for math. You can choose this resource for English or history or or something like that. So it it's not just a one size fits all. I know a guy whose wife makes curriculum content at home and then sells it on their website.
A buddy of mine's wife does this. It is called bookishknowledge.com. I think I'm getting that right. I can't find it in my notes at the moment, but I think it's oh, book it bookish adventures dot com. Bookishadventures.com. And it's just one small part of the curriculum. What you do on bookish adventures is you pick a book. Mr. Popper's Penguins was, like, the example one that that you could download for free. And there's all kinds of the older kids, they can do a report on penguins or, you know, life in the older kids, they can do a report on penguins or, you know, life in the Arctic or something like that. So there are a ton of resources, and it can be a form of income for the family. You know, you were saying that these people are paying ungodly amounts of money to send their kids to private school. It's the conversation that a lot of families have. Mhmm. Does the wife work? Is that worth working and getting somebody sending the kid to day care and whatever damage daycare can do? Well, while the wife is at home doing homeschool things, she's already doing homeschool. Why don't we stack functions?
And she can make her own curriculum that she can sell on Etsy or something like that. So there was a guy in the group whose wife
[00:31:04] Unknown:
does worksheets, you know, really likes to make all these worksheets and sells them on Etsy. Mhmm. So plenty of If you have the temperament for it, it's Mhmm. You've got to understand whether you have the temperament. Like, it sounds like, oh, homeschooling the kids. Yeah. I wanna spend loads of time with them and blah blah blah. I can tell you now, I do not have the temperament Mhmm. To sit at a at the fucking kitchen table and try and go through shit with mine. Like, there's no chance. You just I think you have to understand that it's gonna be extremely trying. And I I would imagine that most people need other influence. Like, the perfect if if I if money wasn't, a problem, I would say, like, yeah. I'll get involved with some of it, and I'll help teach some stuff that I know I'm good at Mhmm. And that I know that I can make it interesting. But then I might say, okay. I'll pay this person to teach maths because I know they're really good at it and that they'd be good at explaining. And I might get this person to teach history, and I might get this person to do something else. And I would just hire the best people for the job and say, right. I need you 3 hours a week, or I need you 4 hours a week, whatever it is, and you just pay them. So that would be the ideal. And as we're speaking about that, I'm thinking, like, I wonder if there's some sort of way that maybe people in the mesh to Dell and beyond could put some of their services, like, in terms of, like, okay. This is a topic I'm really well versed in, and I think I could put a curriculum together to explain and help kids within the Mestradell.
And then maybe these SATs can flow because you have this network of people who are willing to help each other. That might be some type of middle ground where it might be, additive to a kid's education. They might go to school, but it's like, oh, we want them to learn about whatever, something. And then you, you get someone involved from the master's done, and they can earn some stats. I'm glad you mentioned that
[00:32:56] Unknown:
because Oh, is this in the list, is it? This isn't in the list, but Oh. It it's not. No. It's not on the list. The the guy, Fundamentals, who who, played that bumper music before this segment, was ruminating about that same idea. He is a a math whiz and was trying to figure out curriculum, and I believe he is designing curriculum now for homeschooling for math Okay. And assistance and tutoring and whatnot. Okay. So I have some pretty decent math chops, and I I said, oh, that'd be, you know, something interesting to do. And he's like, oh, cool. Yeah. Yeah. You could be one of my guys, you know, that help with no. I was like, woah. Woah. Woah. No. No. I'm just saying. I've taken high levels of math, and and I'm okay with it. And that's fine, and I'll just stick to my kids. But he he was already recruiting for for math tutors. Yeah. But, yeah, let's let's go beyond that idea and see what we can do to pull resources together for help with homeschool. It's just it's interesting because if you already
[00:33:54] Unknown:
know someone in a Mehta Del and you're like, okay. Because there's a big difference between understanding something Mhmm. Well and being able to teach something well. There's a huge difference, like maths. I know some people who are fucking genius with maths, but I wouldn't let them anywhere near me or my kid to learn it. Not because I don't trust them, but because they would be terrible at explaining it. And so I think when you get to know people in a mesh, you could quickly be like, okay. And, also, depending on the type of kid you have, like Oh, yeah. You might say, oh, this person's really gonna gel well with my kid. Like, I know that they're gonna enjoy speaking to them, and they're gonna learn from them, but maybe not this other kid. Like, you you you get to experience that. So I think it could work, and you'd rather well, speaking personally, I'd much rather pay someone in a mister Dell or someone in the sort of communities to teach my kid, then I would just go to a random private school and have some upper tea county private school teacher. You know? It's, looking back I went to private school. I had, like, 2 teachers, 3 teachers in my whole experience that I ever respected or liked or who were any good, and they were brilliant. They were fucking amazing. Mhmm. But the rest of them were useless cunts. I mean, really fucking useless. And so I think,
[00:35:17] Unknown:
yeah, knowing knowing people is very important. Isn't it interesting that when a parent tries to teach or tell a kid something, the kid doesn't take to it. Oh, yeah. And then some stranger tells them something, you're like, what the hell? I I I told you that a 1000 times. They say it. Act like it's some big revelation. You know, a a father trying to teach their son carpentry or mechanics, it might click, it might not click. But when you progress beyond that, like what we used to have in the the apprentice the apprentice master relationship Yeah. Worked well for 1000 of years. Why have we abandoned that? Why can't we worked well for 1000 of years. Yeah.
Well, answer my question. We have here, I don't know what the vocational schools are like there, but in high school, you can start to choose to go to the vocational school, learn welding, nursing, mechanics, something like that. Yeah. And one of the Mastadelians was relaying that he went to Votec, and I'll tell you who this guy is off air. It's one of the smartest people that we know. Mhmm. And he went to Votek, and he was dating this girl who was kind of an uppity girl, and her father, was an uppity guy and he would come visit or have dinner there. And once the father found out that this mesh to delian went to Votech, he would go, oh, hey. How was retard school today? Did you do well in retard school?
[00:36:36] Unknown:
What a cunt.
[00:36:37] Unknown:
Yeah. And it was kind of that way for us. Like, in my high school, it was like the kids that messed up went to Votech. Like, oh, you don't do too well here? You're going to Votech. So they get dropped off at regular school for the normal bus system. Then we get picked up at 8 or 8:30 or something, and then get shipped off to Votek for the day and then get driven back to get on the regular buses to go out back home. But Votek was very much looked down upon, and it shouldn't be. We need to make the societal shift from higher education being the best and vo tech being stupid to what we actually know, that the smartest people are usually blue collar people that work with their hands. Yep. And the most educated people that you know are the dumbest motherfuckers around. Dumbest motherfuckers. Yeah. I can definitely tell you for a fact that that is true. It really annoys me, that sort of stuff. Really, people looking down on others,
[00:37:27] Unknown:
is one of the things that winds me up the most. And all I can say is I fucking hope that they don't buy Bitcoin and they HFSP.
[00:37:36] Unknown:
Closing out this education segment, a lot of the guys in the master, they'll have gifted kids. My Gifted kids. Includes gifted. Woah. Gift Woah. Yeah. Number 1's gifted.
[00:37:47] Unknown:
Oh, wow. I mean Yeah. When you said, what did they think about it? Kids. I was like, you can't just fucking give a kid away as a gift. That's weird. I was like, I'm pretty sure that's illegal. Well, we care too much about laws, but that's one law where I'd get behind. You know, I just gift kids. He's a kid.
[00:38:04] Unknown:
Oh, cheers. Thanks very much. I'm all for anarchy, but I'm taking a stand here. That should be a lot. Yeah. That's yeah. That's too much. They have gifted kids. They have kids with gifts. They're not gifting kids. Okay. Yeah. Gifted. Yeah. Yeah. There's a whole way The whole system here in the United States for the gifted program. You have to test into it, and teacher has to notice that you're kinda bright and whatnot. What what do you what's the criteria? What's the criteria for being gifted? Mhmm. You a teacher has to notice that the child is gifted, and then they get sent into the system to be tested Right. For giftedness.
Okay. And, yeah. You have gifts. If you pass the test, and it's pretty extensive, like, it's a couple hours long, and it's just a conversation between the gifted test administer at least it is in my school district. The gifted test administrator and the child, and they they determine their worth. Okay. Home homeschooling avoids all that. I mean, you can get an understanding of your kids' gifts and talents better than somebody else can or trying to convince the system like, hey, can you please give my child extra resources because they're getting bored here in school. Yeah. Conversation that we had is you have to watch out for the gifted kids. If the system misses them or you miss the fact that they're gifted, they need to be continually challenged. They find life easy and school easy until they don't find it easy. And then it's too late. And I see this with our number one child. Everything has come easy to her, and she doesn't study for anything and never has. And now she has to study for things. Mhmm. She has to keep up with things. She has to stay organized, and it's a little bit of a culture shock and something we've tried to avoid for the longest time. But inevitably, it's it's still happening. She's got such a and I'm not trying to knock her anything, but she didn't think she knows everything because Mhmm. For most of her life, she was right. Mhmm. She was at a higher level than everybody else. But now she's reeling It's difficult.
[00:39:59] Unknown:
It's not always you gotta put work into it. It's difficult sometimes with kids like that. If they're very bright and everything comes easy at school, they don't get used to the hard knocks and having to graft. And so I've seen that with some people I went to school with who were exceptionally good at memorizing facts and figures and passing tests. They were incredible at it. Like, didn't have to do anything, straight a's all the time, teacher's pets, perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect. Went into the real world. Oh, boy, did they get a fucking slap. And some of the other people who really struggled and had to work really hard and went out into the world were like, yeah, I'm used to this. I can graft.
Yeah. If they are I guess, I don't know how you get around that other than always make everything a challenge because this kind of like training, isn't it? If things are too easy all the time, they're not gonna get used to it.
[00:40:59] Unknown:
And the world doesn't give a fuck if you shed a tear because things are suddenly now hard. It's gonna keep slapping you. Now that can be translated into a lot of things with parenting, can it? Oh, yeah. To really close this out, I am meant to close it out before, but I wanted to to mention one last thing. One of the guys in there is a is a homesteader guy, and we were all saying like, wow. What a classroom your child lives in. That your everyday experiences of being on a homestead is constant, constant learning. And Souleks made the point. He says, export your child into the world or import the world into your child. Wow.
[00:41:36] Unknown:
Such a way with words. I write everything he says down. Yeah. You need to. Write down 2 copies of what's whatever's a fire or something. You don't wanna lose the stuff. That's true. That's a good point. I'd stamp it and steal. Yeah. Exactly. Can can Vulcan 21 make steel plates for things that sold excess? I'd imagine so. I'll speak to them. Okay. Actually, I'm not speaking to that cunt at the moment. He didn't talk to our fucking Bitcoin monthly. Halti. Little bitch, Antimus. Hey, Antimus. We're really looking forward to chatting to you. Me and q and a always get really hyped because we know we get to speak to him and, like, he's our favorite person in the world. So we're just like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, mate. Yeah. Yeah. We're looking forward to speaking to you. I can't do washing my hair. Are you sure you can't you can't make any time?
[00:42:19] Unknown:
I've got things to do. Find someone else.
[00:42:22] Unknown:
So I doubt it went down like that. It went down exactly like that. Full of shit. And then I wanna hear his side of things. Like, no, you don't. No, you don't. And then luckily, brother Rabbit hopped in. He said, come on, guys. I'm a real friend. I'll look after you. I'm in. So Dude. My
[00:42:39] Unknown:
dude. Yeah. Did you get him to do the baseload impression?
[00:42:42] Unknown:
Oh, no. I didn't, actually.
[00:42:44] Unknown:
You're missing out. Oh. Maybe he can,
[00:42:47] Unknown:
set if he's listening to this I know he listens to the show. If he listens to this, he can do a voice note and send it in to us, and we'll put it in the next show. It's so good. I've never heard it. Okay. It's so good.
[00:43:01] Unknown:
I'm throwing us off again. That's okay. I like it. Let's keep moving on to our sponsor, Bifrost Manufacturing.
[00:43:25] Unknown:
We made a point to, Aaron Hall the other day.
[00:43:28] Unknown:
I think I even said it on the show that that they are imagineers at Bifrost Manufacturing, and that they work in an imaginarium or an imaginasium. Which one do you like better? Say them again. Imaginearium or Imaginasium. Oh, Imaginarium by far. Okay. Imaginers work in an Imaginarium. Well, that's what Bifrost Manufacturing is, an imaginarium. They have a relationship with North Ticona University and their aerospace department. So working with kids in in college, you know, I guess we could call them kids now. We're all old men, so you can call some fucking college a kid. Do you know when you can do it? I've worked this out recently.
[00:44:10] Unknown:
It's nothing to do with gray hair or a belly. It's that you can call someone a kid or son. You can you can son someone. If when you get up out of your chair, you can't help but go,
[00:44:25] Unknown:
Oh, that's the truth.
[00:44:28] Unknown:
That's when you know you're fucked. You have to make that noise.
[00:44:33] Unknown:
You can summon someone. Well, there there you go. I think most of the, people at Bifrost aren't at that level, but I but I can tell you that Aaron Hall is at that level to be able to call people some. So they they work with the kids at North Dakota University in their aerospace department, which is tied with other aerospace people in that that area. I'm saying this because education is very important to the people at Bifrost. Working with the kids is very important with them. They want to do the battle bots competition they were talking about. You know what battle bots is? Yeah. I used to watch that. We used to call it Robot Wars in the UK. No. I I think it was 2 different shows. Like, Battlebots, Robot Wars. Yeah. Well, you you know, you guys invent all the shows, and then we copy it
[00:45:15] Unknown:
badly. Like The Office.
[00:45:18] Unknown:
Oh my god. We do what we can. What a shame. What a shame that is. When someone talks about The Office, and I know it's gotta be the American version, I just think, oh, for fuck's sake. But I'm well aware of your your hatred for the American Office. We all know. Yeah. Robot Wars. Robot Wars. Back to Robot Wars. So they want to work they want to work with kids on things like Robot Wars. They want to have kids come and learn about STEM, and it's very important to them. So I I like having them as a sponsor because they get little things like that. Community involvement, teaching the kids.
[00:45:50] Unknown:
Should we somehow work and fund a robot, like a pleb minor robot that can battle? It would be pretty cool when you nailed it. Yes. That would be fucking cool if it's built by the kids, and it's a plebminer mafia robot.
[00:46:10] Unknown:
Oh. You know what that robot is going to do downplays. Some of those robots, like, spin around or other one has, like, a big chopping arm or a rotating blade. What would this one be? I think it would have to be something to do with the tongue.
[00:46:22] Unknown:
It's got screaming tongue. Mhmm. Maybe it would be like a ram of some kind. Or could it be like electricity? Could it burn up, fry up the other ones? Oh, are you allowed to do that? Oh, you gotta fire. There was one that shot fire. Yeah. You could all fire. The tongue would do fire. God. I don't know. We'll think about it. We'll think about it, but I think Pat would be fucking I'd fund that. If it's kids building it through Bifrost and we can have the plugminer skull robot, yes, I'm all in. Alright.
[00:46:53] Unknown:
Send send in ideas. And you imagineers in your Imaginarium there in North Dakota at Bifrost, Please do the the Robot Wars BattleBots thing. Please. Oh, I just Please invest money in that. The kids will love it. Mhmm. And we will too. Bifrost Manufacturing. That's bifrostmanufacturing.com. Next order of business. How do you foster a spirit of civil disobedience in your child without, like, turning them against you or making them outright anarchists? Not to say that's a bad thing. It's a great thing. We brought this up in the mesh to del because we were talking about our kids. Some of the kids' meshdodelians children were very obedient in school or to authority or following rules.
Like, my kids are are like that. Hey. For instance, we were just at the water water park this weekend, and there was this wave runner ride, you know, where the water kinda shoots up and you get on it on a boogie board or you can stand up and, like, you're surfing. And number 1 comes over to where Sarah and I, and she's like, can you come over and sign this waiver? And I was like, waiver? I'm not signing shit. What are you talking about? Oh, they said I couldn't get on there. They asked if I signed the waiver and I said no. And I said, first of all, honey, you just say yes to that kind of stuff. Mhmm. You know, the those those kind of people, they don't know that whether you signed the waiver or not. Yeah. So we go I go over there and I see what the situation is. Always
[00:48:20] Unknown:
lie. Always lie.
[00:48:21] Unknown:
When it's things like that, I advise my kids to to to bullshit them. Try to do it. The truth. So there was somebody there with a waiver form, and I pick it up, and I put fake name, her name, fake name, fake date, crazy goofy signature. Here you go. Here you go. Here's your fucking waiver form. Now she's gonna go on the thing. I do that stuff all the time, but I've never been able to instill a sense in her to resist that kind of thing. Mhmm. What the hell does it matter? Are you putting your real name on this piece of paper for a water park to go on a ride? Not doing it. Well, that came up in this conversation. Like, one of the guys was like, my kid is very obedient on things, but when it's necessary, he questions in a very logical way. If teachers are wrong, he'll challenge the teacher on being wrong. So how do you instill in your child this balance to think critically, to resist rules that are unjust or illogical, but not be a complete pushover, or not be a complete anarchist or a fucking asshole who doesn't understand that some rules matter.
[00:49:30] Unknown:
There's a quote about that. It's like, in matters of little consequence, go with the flow. In matters of principle, stand like a rock. And I think that's kind of the point, isn't it? It's like, just go with the flow if it doesn't really fucking matter, but stand your ground if it does. And I don't know how you explain what does and doesn't matter because that's subjective. So I think you can only try and make your kids believe in themselves and trust their own judgment? I don't think you can really do much more than that because otherwise, you end up just pushing your own ideas, and they could be wrong.
[00:50:11] Unknown:
Never.
[00:50:13] Unknown:
Do you know what I mean, though? Like, it's hard to stand your ground if you don't believe in yourself. Mhmm. Mhmm. So if your kid hasn't had the encouragement or, like, been able to believe that they can do things that are tough, then they're not gonna stand their ground because they'd be too scared. Mhmm. So I think that's a big thing. It's, like, get your kids to do stuff that's tough and learn that they are tough themselves, and then they'll stand up to things. I don't know a better way than that. Because otherwise, you just end up sort of making them
[00:50:46] Unknown:
say no to everything and be difficult with you as well. And Yep. Yep. That was that was the fear, just make my kid a complete contrarian to everything without thinking logically and examining each situation.
[00:50:58] Unknown:
Yeah. Can you do this? Nope. I'm like, oh, fuck it. It's just like everything will be no. And resisting authority. Yeah. Yeah. But don't resist my authority. Everyone else's. Yeah. What are you, a tyrant? Yeah. I don't know. It's tough. And I think kids generally are pretty, like, push back on things generally anyway. Mhmm. I don't know. Mine aren't at an age yet where yeah, I could really comment. All I can tell you is that they are fucking ungovernable already. So I don't feel the need to, to,
[00:51:32] Unknown:
push that anymore. It's already there. You told me the other day you're getting a lot of Nope. No. Oh my god. Nope.
[00:51:42] Unknown:
No. New. All of that is fucking annoying. New. Yeah. New. It bitch slapped a kid the other day. Oh. Just like proper proper just in a shop for no reason. Just bitch slapped this kid. I was like, woah. What's that for? Don't know. Looked at him the wrong way.
[00:52:05] Unknown:
Cute kid. Yeah.
[00:52:07] Unknown:
Lovely.

I've always thought in this that personal responsibility enables you to break free of state enforced morality. Good point. If you have high moral standings and you abide by a code, then that enables you to short state laws because you're I mean, a a real moral code, not not something you just made up. But if you if you're a moral person, you take care of your business, your family's business, then that gives you more of a foundation to stand on when resisting tyranny, unjust laws.
[00:52:41] Unknown:
Yeah. Actually, Shire Huddle wrote something today that I liked and retweeted that was exactly around this. He said, find out what it means to be good. Be good, and then you never need to give a damn about what anyone else's evaluation of you ever again. Life changed for me forever when I did this. I think that's a pretty good example of, like, if you know that what you're doing is right and good, then fuck everyone else and their rules. Yeah. I like that. I like that.

On our last mesh, Dal, we talked about ill communication, a breakdown in communications. And then right after that show aired, there was a severed submarine cable off the coast of Africa, which dropped a ton of Internet traffic in Africa. And we have a mestadelian or a couple mestadelians in the group that are from Ghana. They're from the Ghanaian Gold Coast. They call that there. I didn't know that, but now I do. And they verified, yes, that the Internet sucks there, and it's because of that submarine cable. Do what you can do to connect with each other. I have been on the repair side of one of these incidences, and it's no joke to get one of these cables repaired. It's no joke to route the traffic all around the world to bypass a, a severed cable. Now I don't know if the submarine cable was an act of terrorism, a natural disaster.
These kind of things happen. Particular incident incident that I was involved in was July of 2,001. I was in Baltimore at the time and working for a long distance company. They're the ones that have the original backbone in the United States, in the Eastern United States, MCI WorldCom. They're no longer defunct. Verizon Business purchased them up during the .com, you know, blow up. That company basically went out of business. They were doing shady dealings like borrowed money against them against one company to the other and then trying to pay the other company back. Went belly up. But they had a lot of the right of way to railroads in the United States during that time. So they just ran fiber optic cable along the railroads, and that was the original backbone of the Internet, the UUNet and WorldCom.
The route between Baltimore and Washington DC, there was the fiber run for that ran through this tunnel in Baltimore called the Howard Street Tunnel. And the way telecom is done is you have a working and protect side of every circuit. So the idea is to divest this working and protect. That way, if working gets severed, it goes to Protect and back and forth. And the worldwide Internet is built in that way to a degree, but you don't exactly have redundancy in the same path on submarine cables, so it takes a little bit of time. And the same was for the Internet. No. The Internet, of course, was a lot younger than it is now, and there's a lot less pipe and bandwidth going through the United States compared to now. But the working and protect side of these fibers ran through this tunnel in Baltimore, and there was a train derailment. And the word we got at the time is that there was, like, one car with paper and another car with hydrochloric acid. And the train derailed, and the paper and the hydrochloric acid created some big giant fiber.
I don't know if that was true. That's what we were being told at the time. And it melted both sides of the well, melted both working and protect. It was like Working was running on one side of the tunnel and Protect was running on the other. So way to separate them. Melts both sides, drops a huge amount of Internet traffic on the East Coast of the United States. So that was a lot of the pipe between New York and Washington, DC and that entire corridor there. I was out and about that night. That was at a time where I was on the road 300 something days out of the year. So most of the time, me and the boys were out gallivanting around town. I'll just say that. So we were doing our gallivanting, and I get the call at, like, midnight that this happened. I don't remember what time. It was it was late. Put it that way. Okay? I get the call, and I used to have this boss, Spanky, and he was from Eastern Kentucky. And I tell you, that's, like, in the mountains of Appalachia. So he had a real hillbilly accent. And at that time, everybody called me Diesel. That was my nickname. So he calls me up and goes, I called it. That's a cool nickname. Nice. So he calls me up and says, hey. Hi, Diesel. What are you doing? I was like, you know, I don't know. We're out. You coming out? No. No, man. I need you to go back into Baltimore right now. Things are messed up. Everything's down. I'm something I have about a train. I need you to get back there right immediately. Get everybody less going. I was like, oh, dude. I I can't right now. He goes, I I don't fucking care. You gotta get there. I was like, Spanky, I'm, you know, not 3 sheets to the wind, but maybe half square to the wind. I don't care. Do what you gotta do. I said, can I go to Waffle House and get some food? Yep. The Waffle House. Get me some food too. So we get into the the central office there, and, you walk in and it was red lights everywhere. And you're supposed to see, like, a little red light here and there, maybe a fan error or something like that, or some kind of bad card that one side switched to protect on on the system, not to see just a sea of red lights as you as you go in there. Now, I was pretty green to this. I had only been out of the Marine Corps a year and in this job, which was in telecom, the same industry that I was in in the Marine Corps, but completely, completely different job. What we did then was build large bandwidth pipes from city to city. So I walk in there, and I'm like, I don't know what I'm supposed to do. The installers come come running in, and we start running fibers all along the floor. The really, really smart guys are a ways away, and I had to be there on the phone with them saying, Hey, there's a rack over here. We need you to plug into that system and just run fiber along the floor and plug into this system, and we're gonna route back up. We're gonna loop everything back up to New York. Go across west to Pennsylvania, drop down into West Virginia and North Carolina, and then come back up to DC that way. So we had to reconfigure all these systems. We're, like, whipping cards out of the machines and putting them in and reprovisioning and stuff like that. That was my first experience in life with super, super smart, old head guys that knew everything about their job because they they built the network. They've been in it for 30 years. And it's cool now for me that I'm now one of those old head guys. Like, I can do this in my area. I can tell you where every pole is, where every splice is, where all the manhole fronts are, where they come up, where they come in out. I'm relaying this story, 1, because it's kind of a fun story. We worked for about 3 days, and we finally got everything routed up to New York, down West Virginia and North Carolina, back up to DC. Just shit all over the floor. Systems completely tore apart. Cards everywhere. It takes a lot of work and a lot of labor to rebuild these systems. For submarine cable, it takes a lot of work to hook that thing and bring it back onto a ship and resplice all that stuff. First of all, these cables are armored, so it's a bitch to get them open to begin with. But then to make a splice that's able to to get submersed like that, it has to be absolutely perfect. These things take a long time to fix. They're not always acts of terrorism. It's not always some conspiracy theory, why the Internet went down. These are just real things that happen, and you should probably be prepared for them. Shit happens. What are you gonna do?
[01:00:58] Unknown:
Did you write that one down? No, I didn't. I'm just that sharp. It's good, isn't it? You didn't listen to a word I said the whole time. You're just, like, repeating that over and over in your head so you didn't forget it. Yeah. Honestly, I thought of it very early on as soon as you started the story. And I was like, oh, he's in a flow. He's telling stories. I don't want to interrupt this, but I'm not gonna let this one go. Hey, there you go, Link and Park rules. That's the chapter heading. Say it again. Shit happens. What are you gonna do? Well, shout out to our Ghanaian friends and everyone who's tuning in. Thanks for the story, and thanks for the support.

Mining has been a big part of our life here in this house, and our kids know a lot about mining. And I think it's a great way not only to talk I don't know if you talked about this in a previous episode or this episode, orange pilling, like, blue collar people, but I think it's also a great way of orange pilling kids too. And Altair has a lot of resources for helping your kids get involved in mining, from their custom 120 volt Lokey Rig builds, little stick USB miners from Gecko Science, the BIDEX stuff so they can learn how to actually solo mine, log in the stuff, build things, solder. They've got lots of parts and accessories so you can get your kids hands on experience with swapping out control boards or taking out fans. The control boards being for sale on Altair and the single boards enable you to build a lot of these a 120 volt builds, a Loki rig build. So I appreciate Altair. Don't know how many times I said Altair. Altair for having those kind of parts available to make mining like a a family activity. Yeah. What a cool way to
[01:02:55] Unknown:
dive into maths or engineering or any of those sort of things. Like, you can use that as an anchor and teach them so much from mining. I think it's a really, like, fun way and also a good way to shill and to sort of share your passion with your kids as well. If you're into this stuff, then you're gonna wanna talk about it. But rather than just banging on at the dinner table, you can be like, hey, let's build something together. And if you do order that project to work with your child on Bitcoin mining, please be sure to use our coupon code, Ungovernable,
[01:03:24] Unknown:
or the ref link on the website or in the show notes. That's Altair io I swear to god I'm gonna say altire many more times so I apologize. That's altiretechnologies dot I o. Altair Tech. Nope. I'm gonna do it over again. That's alti all that's altair tech dot I o. Altairtech.i0. Very nice. You or Dan is not going to edit any of that out, are you? No, we're going to leave it exactly how it is.
[01:04:01] Unknown:
I was also just speaking the entire time, but I was muted. So what a shambles. No. I thought you just left me hanging. No. No. What a fucking shambles. But I was just gonna say, what happens if someone does use our code, Ungovernable?
[01:04:14] Unknown:
Do they get any sort of discount, or is it just that they're helping support the show? Oh, well, I'm glad you mentioned that. I am remiss that I did not mention that. You get a 1% discount for using our coupon code. Oh, that's nice.
[01:04:27] Unknown:
Well, so they you get another little bit if you pay in Bitcoin. Do you? Okay. Very nice. Because Altair wants the Bitcoin. They stack that coin. Mhmm. And it supports the show. We get a little few sats as well when you do an order, and it all helps support the show. So if you are going to buy some mining equipment, I suggest you go to altereoltairetech. Io. That was very nice.

And last but not least, on this episode of PMM, we've got Palantir's, Middle Earth, and Mordor, an article by Charles Myriel titled They Brought the War to Your Living Room. This is a short one. Hang on a minute. What? Why did you miss out the middle name? I like when you say the full name. Charles? Francois. Bienvenue. Mireille.
[01:05:19] Unknown:
Yeah. That's better.
[01:05:21] Unknown:
Titled, They Brought the War to Your Living Room. A good story is one that transcends time. It is culturally relevant for 1000 of years because it depicts universal truths that remain just as important to understanding across multiple generations. Stories like this have the power to completely change a person's life and perspective. There is something special about how fiction can be used to express truth. Lord of the Rings is one of those stories that will stay relevant forever. And a scene from the Lord of the Rings, where they're in the minds of Moria. Frodo says, I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened. And Gandalf says, so do all that live to see such things. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time given to us. There are other forces at work in this world besides the evil.
Bilbo was meant to find the ring, which case means you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought. How many of us have been bestowed burdens that make us question, why continue forward? One of the greatest burdens is having the awareness to see how broken our society and culture is. Ignorance is truly bliss, and awareness means understanding the people controlling most aspects of your life are pedophiles and war criminals. Our society is sick, and it is the responsible of every conscious person to address that issue, unless they believe in leaving future generations worse off. The problem is that genuinely seeking to improve the world means actively stepping into conflict with the ruling class, which can be incredibly dangerous. Most of us want to avoid conflict because conflict brings risk. In previous articles, I talked about who the demoralizers are and how to counteract them. In this article, I want to talk about how the reason I want to talk about the reason why individuals should seek to counteract them. Asking why is incredibly important because we need a compelling reason to enter into potential risk. For many, it was risky resisting vaccine mandates, Taking a strong stance against the destruction of our society through lockdowns was not a popular opinion. People lost their jobs, friends, were disowned by family, and even arrested for doing so. Julian Assange may die for resisting these people. The battle for Middle Earth was not a battle that Frodo chose to enter into.
It was one that he was called to enter because he did not have much of a choice. In the same way, conscious people are grappling with a monetary system that is crumbling, and governments growing increasingly more totalitarian. Co assertive government structures are always illegitimate, but in peaceful times, they can be rationalized as acceptable by many. People put up with government because they think it keeps them safe, but the reality we have today is that government is undeniably a liability that cannot be ignored. Lord of the Rings is such a good story because it felt like the odds were stacked against the people resisting Saruman. The entire battle of the world was in the hands of 2 hobbits, the smallest and least significant race in Middle Earth. When you look at the Leviathan ruling over us today, it can feel like resistance is futile. They want you to believe that resistance is futile, which is why they are publicly torturing Julian Assange in front of the whole world. It is why they allow us to be aware of mass surveillance, war crimes, blatant corruption, and congressional insider trading. You may wish that none of this was happening, and the ability to see clearly, it was not given to you. The problem is that once you see it, you cannot unsee it. And to attempt to go back to ignorance would be soul crushing.
Good and courageous people are called to action when they see danger and choose to face it rather than to hide. We cannot choose what is happening around us, but we can choose how to respond to it. This war for the human mind and spirit is unavoidable at this point. There are enclaves you will likely be able to retreat to deep in the jungles, deserts, and mountains. Even there, you may not be safe from what is coming. There, you will have to live with an understanding of what the people you left behind are experiencing. The reason to make a stand against evil is because, like Gandalf told Frodo, there are other forces at work in the world besides evil. We live in a battle of perspective and narrative, and the forces that seek to control you and enslave you want you to feel that resistance is futile. What they're doing is unnatural, because the default human state is freedom. The battle ahead will be discouraging, but is winnable.
The reason to continue forward is because the alternative requires us to completely kill our minds and spirits in order to survive. Either way, life ends in death, and our lives are not the most valuable thing they can take from us. No. The most valuable thing we carry with us is our dignity. The question of why is the most important question.
[01:10:05] Unknown:
So are we hobbits?
[01:10:06] Unknown:
Well, I mean, in this tale, we are. Some people are hobbits. Some people are Boromir. Some people are Gimli. I'd follow you to the fires of Mordor. You you would what? I'd follow you to the fires of Mordor, my hobbit friends. Does that mean you're my Sam? I can't do it, Sam. You've got to, mister Frodo.
[01:10:26] Unknown:
You know that was, written very not too far from me. Is that some? Yeah, you can go to a little pub in Oxford where it's written. They were called, like, the Booklings or something like that. I forget. Something like that. Him and CS Lewis. Mhmm.
[01:10:41] Unknown:
So we're hobbits. We're in the Lord of the Rings. We don't have to be hobbits. And I do believe I said Saruman instead of Sauron. Damn you, Tolkien. Sour cream. We're in a fight against sour cream.

You need a wizard. Who's the wizard? Gandalf. Satoshi, maybe. No. But Ennard Oh, I thought you were asking me.
What's that wizard's name? Yeah. No. I think, the wizard would be Satoshi. We've got a few dwarves in our midst. Mhmm. And, I think I think you might be an orc, actually. What? I'd probably be an elf. Well, just back in a little back. I don't know. I'd be I'd be an elf. I'd go with dwarves. Because I'm graceful and skillful. Really? Yes. Yes. That's you know who we are? Who? We're Gimli and Legolas.
[01:12:00] Unknown:
Okay. And you're tall and beautiful and fair. Yes. And I'm short and ugly and hairy. And my axe.
[01:12:11] Unknown:
Actually, if I had to go to war, I would choose an axe. Obviously, if you can't have, like, a rifle or whatever, I would choose an axe. Okay. Well So maybe I'm maybe I'm a dwarf. I don't know. Nope. You're legless. You're supposed to have a bow. Okay. Alright. Okay. Don't mess with this. It's been a pleasure recording with you today, Max. Yeah. I wish I could say the same, mate. Yeah.

I'd like to update you on things in the mistrial because you can't read. No? In these first few updates.
[00:00:55] Unknown:
You, you sound horrible. Is this because the soundboard's going?
[00:00:59] Unknown:
Yeah. Probably because the soundboard is going. Okay. Alright. That's fine then. I don't mean to sound horrible. It'll all be in and out. I don't mean to look horrible, but sometimes these things just slip through. Mhmm. That is the truth. We'll see as we continue to record. First update in the mesh2del, Supertestnet. He is the one that created the bitpack. Look up Supertestnet's GitHub if you're one of them nerdy types. If you would like to use the Bitpack for yourself, whatever your organization is, check out GitHub and Supertestnet. He has lots of stuff. He's quite a prolific Bitcoin coder type guy.
But check that out. Also in the mesh to del, friend Fundamentals has joined the mesh to del and I said on the last episode, which was Ungovernable Misfit section news, that he recently joined the mesh to del and gave a shout out on rock paper Bitcoin. I love him being in the mesh del because he's kind of different than how he is on his podcast with, business cat. Business cat. You may know him from the video that we made for Pled Minor Month, the one that made the the, the minor beef jerky. Mhmm. Do you remember that is like panned across his whole kitchen? And there was a minor drying out all kinds of beef jerky. So that's his partner in their podcast. But fundamentals, when he's interacting in the Blood Miner mafia, like with baseload and playing the jukebox and stuff like that, he's a lot more different than when he's in the Mestudel, you know, which is all about cooperation and we sort of have a purpose in there and it's less, locker room talk in the Meschendel as compared to the Pleb minor mafia. John Can confirm. John Haskell: In the Pleb minor mafia, today there's been a very good discussion between Wilson Mining, the Wilson boys, who also run an industrial farm, and a lot of the permaculture guys that are in there. Agrarian Contrarian and Carl. It's neat to see. I don't even think the Wilson boys know about the mesh to dollar. We have this other group where there's a bunch of farmers and permaculture enthusiasts talking about farming. And it's like the last thing they said was saying that it's completely unsustainable, industrial farming. And this generation of farmers, as compared to the boomers and as compared to the grandparents who, in the United States at least, they're most likely the ones who'd set up the farm, The grandparents, the great grandparents. The boomer generation was lucky enough to be able to live off the fruits of that previous labor. A farm that was bought for a couple $1,000 is now worth 10. And the kids that want to take it over, a lot of them have other fiat jobs.
They aren't allowed to be full time farmers. That's a discussion that many people have had in in the Bitcoin space and and, the mestadala has spoken about a lot. I'm only mentioning this because it's neat to see the discussion happen in the Pleb Modern Mafia, which reminds us of why the show's called PMM. It all weaves together. Spilling over, isn't it? Mhmm. Our friend, X Patriotic,

that you can zap on, isn't it, basically? Mhmm. Yeah. Pretty cool. Yeah. It's pretty cool. Alex has been trying to convince me to get on Stacker News, and I was like, shit. I could just put show notes on Stacker News. I spend so much time writing it. Or we could just take you know, now that that Lincoln Park rules has really fixed up everything with the podcast and you can pull our transcripts, just pick an occasion where the 2 of us don't sound like fucking morons and split it up to us. Stacker News. Yeah. But there's there's bits. There's little bits in there. Sometimes. Mhmm. What about can you do, like, audio clips as well, or is it just writing? Oh, that would really that would really be cool. I don't know. I I Alex asked me, and I said, you know who who to ask the about this is Linkin Park rules. If anybody has time in the Ungoveled Misfits Organization, which he doesn't but might have interest, is him.
[00:04:50] Unknown:
Yes. Yeah. It'd be cool. Maybe do some clips on there as well. Was saying the other day, I'd really like to have the feature where people would zap articles on Ungovernal Misfits as well. So I have been pestering about that because that'd be cool. Be nice if, you know, someone writes an article and there's, like, some sort of SaaS split or something, but we've not quite worked out how to technically do that yet, but we'll get there. Yeah. The best I thought was
[00:05:15] Unknown:
anything that we post on The Govermisfits, just post on Stacker News also. That way the contributor, like X Patriotic did that. He published on Ungovertible Misfits and published on Stacker News. And so I thought to myself, well, Ungovertible Misfits is beautiful. It flows well. It's very easy to read. You know, you get a a stimulation for the senses. And Stacker News is is very bloggy type. So Mhmm. I don't know if there's some fusion. Smart people think of stuff. Yeah. Do stuff. Call to action.
[00:05:45] Unknown:
Well, Expatriotic put his on there. I think it was the highest boosted or zapped or whatever they call it, which is really cool to see. He wrote it for us and appreciate his time doing that. And whatever he earned on that, he ended up donating to the show. I think he's our top did he? Top booster. This guy handsome. He's our top booster by let me actually have a look quickly. Am I in my Saturn? Because I can see who's our top boosters in general. Was that in Saturn? Am I supposed to have that login? No. You're not gonna be you're not gonna be that one. No. You're not allowed near any of this sort of stuff, mate, with your fucking your hooves for hands. You fucking go in there and break it all. I can get in Pod home,
[00:06:29] Unknown:
wreck everything up if I want to. Expatriotic,
[00:06:32] Unknown:
top contributor to the show. 2nd is Late Stage Huddle. Of course. Yeah. 3rd is Set in Stone. 4th is Wilfred Allen. Oh, yeah. And 5th we're not going to do the rest of them. 5th is 8 Myth Randir. 8 Myth Randir with the sevens and sevens. Mhmm. Wonderful. So thank you to all of you. But, yeah, ex Patriotic
[00:06:55] Unknown:
has, whatever he earned there, he, spent much more supporting the show, and we appreciate you. What a guy. Yeah. Good dude. Oh, you know, I part of that too, he gave a good boost because he did a consultation with And, he's like, hey. Let me throw you some stats for for your great Baron Manning. And, Barna Miner was like, nope. Just boost on Ungovernable Misfits or some shit. No. He don't want nothing for nothing, that guy. That's very sweet. That was very sweet. A lot of sweet people surrounded by sweet people. Yes. That's why we're here to balance it out. One more sweet cute thing before we move on to the podcasting 2.0 boosts is Travis Bittcole sent this to me a little bit ago, but I keep forgetting to add it into a show where he made a birdhouse out of a t 17 Bitcoin mining server.
And it's just as cute as it can be. The little peak, is 2 boards,
[00:07:48] Unknown:
and then he drilled a hole in the bottom of it. Seems like the perfect housing for a bird. That's so sweet. And then as soon as one goes in there and starts to nest, he goes, ah, and then he turns the power on, and the fans munch it up. Barminder makes fucking jerky out of it. Permaculture.
[00:08:05] Unknown:
Permaculture principles.
[00:08:07] Unknown:
Not really. Doesn't really happen. He's just a nice guy. I've just taken it down to a dark level. Really, he, there's no fans involved. He's just a nice sweet man.
[00:08:16] Unknown:
Oh, you started the show out like that. Yeah. Put a little birdhouse in your soul. Alright, Max. This episode, last episode of PMM was boosted a 132,000
[00:08:30] Unknown:
sats. Wow. Bawling. Thank you very much, everyone. That's why it is because we got the sats boost in. I think for a long time, everyone was like, I know this is to help Max, you know, with his editing and everything else, but he's a bit of a cunt. We don't really wanna boost him. So I don't really wanna do that. And then when we announced now there's a sat split and everyone gets their piece, they're like, oh, well, you know, John's a good guy, and Lincoln Park rules he's a great guy. And Crown, he's a great guy. And, yeah, I wanna contribute to this. So we've suddenly seen an uptick. So thank you to everyone for that, and, thank you for putting this in place so we now have the sat split. Indeed. Thank you all. Late stage HODL, 55,555 sats.
Max's analysis of my last boost really made me laugh. John could be on to something as the first person to suggest schizophrenia. And now I'm really thinking Hopefully, I haven't spiraled into madness a month from now. Boosting now just in case, if the pool heater burns up the next set of minors, then I may be a lost cause. Or is it the minors burning up? Or is it the minors burning out the pool heater? Which one is the dog and which one is the tail? Wish me luck, and y'all keep up the good work, fuckers. I'm gonna fucking kill you.
[00:09:55] Unknown:
Oh, schizophrenia
[00:09:56] Unknown:
kicking in. Yeah. He didn't really say that. That's just me adding that in, but I imagine that's what happens. He sort of thinks. He thinks, oh, good work. You fucking cunt's hurt. Die.
[00:10:06] Unknown:
Late stage, good luck with the build. Nothing but good luck and prayers. If everybody could just throw out some good vibe I will do. Late stage on this build, please do. Good luck. It sounds like you need it, mate. Fundamentals,
[00:10:17] Unknown:
20,000 sats. I'm not don't put the sats value in because I will read it. I'm like Ron Burgundy. I'll read whatever's in front of me. I read it badly, but I will read it. Sorry. You guys are a role model for pleb podcasts. Beautiful, well produced content, but also a community that works and lives the values, killing it. I said I'm not gonna cry, but I'm ready. Let that out.
[00:10:46] Unknown:
You be you. It's okay. Thanks, mate. That means a lot. Virtual consulting and back patting. That's nice to hear. Thank you. Lake Satoshi, I vote to add the segment Carl's Corner. And now Carl's Corner. Late stay total boosted again. 2nd boost, 10000 sats. I had to chime in again because people giving you shit for Zoom and then not offering to help is typical in any experience, not just podcasting. Also appreciate you talking about block parties. During curve COVID, our block party had cookouts all the time and called them protests. Just a joke. It's hard to have individualism in the yuppiesque town I live in, but communal living is something our close knit friend group is working on. Very good for you, late stage hog. Yeah. Good to hear. Do 20 s 10000 sets. Great episode. Have more kids.
Okay. I'm I'm done, bro. I'm done. Yeah. You you keep keeping on, my brother.
[00:11:42] Unknown:
There's a limit, isn't there? There's only so many eyes and hands and sats
[00:11:48] Unknown:
and brain cells. Just don't want to be decrepit and old at a high school graduation.
[00:11:54] Unknown:
Yeah. Be that old dad that just can't connect with the kids. Yeah. We had a few of those at my school, like the sort of fit moms with the rich, old, decrepit dads and the kids that just don't connect with them. You know the type. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's sad. Basically it. Except for the rich part. Yeah.
[00:12:14] Unknown:
We're gonna talk a lot more about kids' education as the the episode moves along. Another late stage HODL 1. Oh, that's you, Maximo Von Bittenstein.
[00:12:24] Unknown:
Stepping on my shit. Mhmm. Fuck's sake. Late stage huddle. 3rd boost. Who puts the value in there? If I can put it in there. What a bitch. 3rd boost, 3,865 sats. I know I can count on them if shit if s h t f. Shit hits the fan. Oh, okay. Alright. I'm not cool enough to know this sort of stuff. If shit hits the fan, but now we need to venture out into the country, to the farmland, and increase our circle. Keep up the good work, y'all. Hopefully, that stream of consciousness made sense. Yeah. Sort of. Yeah. Yeah. I got it. Yeah. I got it. Wartime psychopath.
[00:13:04] Unknown:
He's actually just a trick. That was a trick. You didn't fall for it. Smart man. Yeah.
[00:13:10] Unknown:
What a sneaky sneaky weasel. War time psychopath. Says stuff and things. Bon. Quack quack, fuckers. Shadrach. Is that how I say it? Shadrach? Not Shadrach. Shadrach.
[00:13:26] Unknown:
Shadrach. Meshach. Shadrach. Minors. Bible references. Oh, are they? What's it mean? Oh, they're the ones that went, or you're gonna quiz me now. Went with to Babylon Mhmm. And served at the court with Joseph when Joseph was interpreting dreams.
[00:13:47] Unknown:
You make the bible fun, mate. Yeah. She says fun bible stories. It was just you asked me off the top of my head. I think it was the delivery. It's not so much that I'm not slacking off the bible here. It's just it's just the way to do it. Because I had to think. It wasn't in bible mode. Okay. Alright. Well, always be ready. Always be shilling. Heart. Heart. Heart. All in orange. What a sweetie.

SolEx. I thought you named the cow SolEx because it was full of bullshit laughing winky tongue out face. Adjikute. Adjikute. I don't know. This episode won't play and it bullies the fountain app. Out of responding. Has some stats anyways. I bet the episode was great. Also, 1500 stats is exactly €1,000 at the moment of posting. How Chad f boosted 1,111 sets. You guys have to read the amounts of the boost. It's just as important as the message. For example, 1111 is a bag of dicks or Satchel of Richards. Suit 2,222 is a row of ducks.
We have a GitHub somewhere with a huge list, and when I find it, I'll add it here. And he did just that, and there are some other goofy ones in there. 10 is a bowler donation. Get a bowler instead of baller. It's cute. Okay. That's very cute. My favorite one is a boob's donation, which is 8,008. You remember those calculators back in the day? Never forget, mate. I still do. And you would type in, like, 555 378008. Yeah. And you can do hello as well, I'm pretty sure. No. Hell, that's boring. Boobs. Boobs and boobless. Okay. Okay. Fine. Only once. Well, Chad f, we'll we'll take that into consideration. Mhmm. Maybe.
[00:15:40] Unknown:
Pies. I love fighting lizard cunts. Put me in, coach. I imagine he's talking about, like, lizard people. Yeah. Not actual lizard because lizards are alright. I like lizards. When I was on holiday, I saw a monitor lizard just running along in front of me, and I was like, that's fucking cool. I like you. I'd never fight a lizard. I'd like you monitor lizard. Yeah. I liked it. But I don't like the lizard human what are they what are they like lizards? They have skins of humans, but they're lizards and they put them on and then they, like, go into politics and stuff. Yes. That's exactly Okay. That's exactly the case. Yeah. Okay. Fair enough. I also love fighting lizard cunts, so we'll fight them together, mate. Also from Pies, fuckers.

[00:16:52] Unknown:
So I I am I get, I get shown up on bible knowledge here. Mhmm. After I said that, I felt that that doesn't feel right, so I looked it up. Okay. Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego were the ones thrown into a fire by Nebuchadnezzar Okay. But made it out unharmed.
[00:17:10] Unknown:
Were they wearing fire retardant clothing or something? Mhmm. What if they had that? Just god. God was the fire. God. Yeah. Yeah. I suppose they have great news. He's so fucking good at stuff. Pretty much. Yeah. Is there anything does he have any sort of flaws anywhere, or is he just perfect? God? Mhmm.
[00:17:29] Unknown:
There is no flaws, sir. None. Okay. Not a one. Perfect. If you think there is one, you're mistaken because you're just a human.
[00:17:38] Unknown:
Okay. That's true. But he made me, so he made a mistake in making the mistake Nope. No mistakes. No mistakes. You are not a mistake.
[00:17:45] Unknown:
Now your parents made a mistake, but not God. That's what they
[00:17:49] Unknown:
they've always my parents have always told me that I was a mistake. Well, that's a mistake. That's what I'm saying. They made the mistake.
[00:17:54] Unknown:
Okay. God didn't. That's good to know. Well, I'm glad we've cleared that up on ungovernable misfits
[00:18:01] Unknown:
Bible Talk. Let's not make that a section.
[00:18:04] Unknown:
I don't think so. And now, we're gonna get into the show here. One of the mesh to delians was nice enough to send in that little bit of music, and I decided to use it as bumper music. That was fundamentals. Very nice. Banging on the guitar.
[00:18:33] Unknown:
They recorded that themselves.
[00:18:35] Unknown:
They did record that themselves. Yeah. That's very cool. Thank you. I'd like to get away from a lot of the the copyrighted music that we use in the shows and I don't. More pleb submissions.
[00:18:45] Unknown:
I tell. No. I like it. I like the fact that we're sort of just doing what we're not supposed to be doing. Something funny about that. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Like, it is kind of fun. And also, the other Fanboys. Yeah. And if someone was like, oh, you're copywriting the music? It's like, no. No. No. We're not. We I think maybe we should say who the music's from because we put our little touch on things. I do I do on the show notes. Yeah. So I think if any if anyone has an issue, they can come and speak to us. If anyone who's made the music feels that they're being stolen from, I think that would be unreasonable, and come and talk to us. We'll get you on the show. Yeah. I'm sure ZZ Top's is gonna give us a send us an email I would think so. A letter. Yeah. PGP.
[00:19:25] Unknown:
In the mesh to del, we have our monthly mesh to del call. As everybody knows, it is the 8th of the month at 200 UTC, and maybe on 21st if we're feeling randy. This particular conversation was the parent led motivation and mentorship mashtadel. See all the p's and m's in there? I like it. What we wanted to do was for everybody to share their approach to educating their children. Do you homeschool? Do you cyber school? If your kids go to a public education, how do they deal with that? How do you deal with the teachers, the system, the teachers union, the school board? Some tips and tricks on educating your children, and we shared them in the mesh to del. We didn't record this mesh to del, so I don't have any clips. I didn't want to record because I felt people would probably be withholding because now we're talking about kids and family and your home life, not, like, your personal anarchic opinions on permaculture and money. Yes. Different as well. So we didn't record it. Yeah. Yeah. But I I took some notes, and I'm going to share them with anonymity as to who the source of the notes is. Okay. I started off the mesh to del just by sharing with everybody our experience during COVID, Homeschooling.
It wasn't pretty, which is why we don't homeschool in general now. Probably the number one reason is the kids like school. They like our school system a lot. All of our kids especially loved our elementary school. Number 1 loved it. She's now in middle school, but looks fondly back on elementary school. And if we were to tell her at that time, we're gonna pull you out of elementary school and homeschool you, she would have lost her shit. And same thing with number 2. Like, number 2 is the queen of the elementary school. They pistol whipped you with their Glocks. Yeah.
[00:21:13] Unknown:
Daddy, you're not homeschooling me. Where's my fucking glock?
[00:21:18] Unknown:
I pistol whip you? She's the queen of the elementary school.
[00:21:22] Unknown:
You know, she's popular. Kids call her all the time. Can number 2 come and and spend the night? Can she come and go to a baseball game with us? Can she go away for the weekend with us to a water park? She is cool. She's cool. Yeah.
[00:21:35] Unknown:
I think she's a lot better with other families than us, but, I don't know. She's quite popular. So we had that experience at home. I would come home. Sarah would have her head down on the dining room table. Number 2, who was in kindergarten at that time, would be crying because she was just learning how to read. Brilliant. The number 3, who was a toddler, would be crawling all over the place. And number 1 would be the one watching her. So that didn't work out with our ages, the personality of our kids, our home situation, Sarah's level of patience.
It really just wasn't for us. But we are happy that we have a good public school system here. You know, in the United States, a lot is controlled by your state as far as education is concerned, but a lot is dictated by the local school board in your school district. So, we purposefully moved to this area because of the house and the property and the neighborhood and everything, but the school system was a part of that. So I shared tips, and I will share them now on this program, in dealing with your public school system. Now listen, if you're in inner city New York or Chicago public schools, you're fucked. The teachers' unions run everything there in your broken, pathetic inner cities. You should be rich Alright, man. Or homeschool. Yeah. That's what I have to say. And now if it's like that in the UK, I I don't know. Pretty much. In in my opinion, there's probably not you can do because the teachers' unions are so powerful in in those public schools. But for us, a small county, small community, what we do is try to make friends with everybody, literally. You know, Sarah does hair, and she does the hair of a lot of the teachers. You know, I always say that the bartender or the hairdresser knows everybody,
[00:23:24] Unknown:
you know, better better than any other vocation. Yeah. And when you're that close to someone's jugular with scissors, it's very easy to explain why they should be nice to your kids, and they should instill the values that you care about, isn't it? You're gonna try to make my kid a communist? Yeah.
[00:23:42] Unknown:
Get the straight razor. We've always been very involved with the kids in the school because we want to be a part of that. We want them to know that we are a part of your education even though you aren't in our home. And we don't feel that homeschooling is right for us at at this time. We really like the principal. We know members of the school board. We know pretty much all of the teachers. You know, we just went away for the weekend. And instead of going through this whole rigmarole with submitting, absence forms, we pulled them out of school on Friday. Sarah just texts their teachers, their personal phone numbers. Hey. Number 2 is not gonna be in today. What's the assignment? Oh, she was supposed to have a test on Monday, but now it's on Tuesdays. Tell her not to worry about it, and let her just enjoy her weekend. That connectivity between the educators and the parents is very necessary, and if possible, make it happen. But also know That sounds nice. Yeah. Also know when you're helpless.
Max, your child isn't there yet. But what plans do you guys have for
[00:24:41] Unknown:
schooling? I honestly don't know. Mhmm. R one is, how do I phrase this nicely? A fucking tsunami and Carnage. Is carnage. It is proper carnage. And it's not just me that says it. Like, anyone that meets this kid is like, wow. Okay. That's an experience. So I'm not sure. Like, I like the idea of homeschooling, but I have a feeling that is not gonna be, a, we don't have any fucking time because we both work full time. So, you know, that is a well, more than full time, actually. So that is pretty difficult. And and with that kind of personality, probably not the best. But then at the same time, just a normal school, like, sit here, write outlines, read off the board, that kind of stuff. That's not gonna work. Oh, man. It it's it's not I think this kid is similar to what I was like at school, and it was horrendous.
So I've heard a lot about this kind of, like, Montessori type of schooling where it's more like learning through play or learning through doing. A friend of mine got pulled out of school because they were similar to me, and they went to another school where they would, like, learn about history and how a certain road was built or whatever. The but they'd actually be, like, laying down, like, paving things and doing things as they're learning. And they did really well with it. So, like, my kid just loves being outside and just, like, tearing around and, like, is very intrigued by stuff. So I don't want them sat in front of a whiteboard just being read out out of a book. That is not gonna not gonna inspire them. So I don't know. It I guess it depends where life takes us. If I could afford to, I'd probably hire tutors and do things sort
[00:26:28] Unknown:
of somewhere in the middle, but we'll see. I don't know. My opinion is, and this was our experience, that private school our availability of private schools here, which is the Catholic school and this Christian school, which has always kind of tripped us off as a little bit weird. Not on the Christian sense, but I don't know. I can't explain it. It always just seemed a little bit off to us. Okay. And then there's going to be a an affiliate school here soon that is opening up in the there was a large hotel here with a big banquet center and conference center and stuff like that that has been shut down for a while, and they're gonna turn that into a k through 8, maybe, like a k through 8 school. And that's an affiliate school of Hillsdale College. So, a lot of people in the United States, Canada, and across the world might know Hillsdale because they offer a lot of free college courses on American history. So they offer a a free college course for the constitution. They're very conservative, right wing kind of deal. So now they'll have an affiliate school here. When we went to do our research, we didn't like the Catholic school at all. We thought that Christian school was weird, and we were already friends with a couple teachers. And one of the teachers said to us, oh, yeah. We've had students from that school. And they come into our classroom, and they're way behind. Oh. They're 6 months to a year behind everybody else in the class. So, you know, it's not a one size fits all. You have to do your research on the private schools as well. Oh, yeah. For sure. And, you know, let's be real. I don't know what the costs are over there, but we can't afford a fucking private school.
[00:28:00] Unknown:
I mean, you're talking the private schools around here, and we do it in dollar terms, so, like, between 35 to $60,000 a year. Oh. Something like that. That's for the young kids. And, you know, you got a couple of kids. Like, how the fuck are you paying that? I don't know. Whatever you earn, the government's gonna take half. And then, you know so you've gotta be earning some serious money to even consider sending your kids to private school. I've got a friend who does it. He earns quite well, but they can't go on holidays. They can't ever do anything they wanna do. They work themselves to death to put their 3 kids through private school. Mhmm. And you've got to ask yourself, like, is this worth it? Like, what what are you getting for it? And do your research. But, I mean, obviously, there's nothing more important than the education of your children, but I wouldn't say that necessarily throwing money at the
[00:28:56] Unknown:
problem, but throwing money at the situation is necessarily the best. It might be research. We've got a few people in the message that I'll send their kids to Waldorf Schools. I've never heard of that. Somebody asked me the other day, did you guys cover Montessori Schools? We didn't, but apparently, you have some know some people that that have done it. Mhmm. Hillsdale affiliate schools, Catholic schools. It's just a matter of doing your research. Mhmm. If you're able to, and there are a few in the mestudelon on this call that actually do the homeschool thing. The big question was, for me at least, where do you get your curriculum from? And there are a number of online resources for curriculums, but they don't even have to be all just one one size fits all curriculum. You can get choose this resource for math. You can choose this resource for English or history or or something like that. So it it's not just a one size fits all. I know a guy whose wife makes curriculum content at home and then sells it on their website.
A buddy of mine's wife does this. It is called bookishknowledge.com. I think I'm getting that right. I can't find it in my notes at the moment, but I think it's oh, book it bookish adventures dot com. Bookishadventures.com. And it's just one small part of the curriculum. What you do on bookish adventures is you pick a book. Mr. Popper's Penguins was, like, the example one that that you could download for free. And there's all kinds of the older kids, they can do a report on penguins or, you know, life in the older kids, they can do a report on penguins or, you know, life in the Arctic or something like that. So there are a ton of resources, and it can be a form of income for the family. You know, you were saying that these people are paying ungodly amounts of money to send their kids to private school. It's the conversation that a lot of families have. Mhmm. Does the wife work? Is that worth working and getting somebody sending the kid to day care and whatever damage daycare can do? Well, while the wife is at home doing homeschool things, she's already doing homeschool. Why don't we stack functions?
And she can make her own curriculum that she can sell on Etsy or something like that. So there was a guy in the group whose wife
[00:31:04] Unknown:
does worksheets, you know, really likes to make all these worksheets and sells them on Etsy. Mhmm. So plenty of If you have the temperament for it, it's Mhmm. You've got to understand whether you have the temperament. Like, it sounds like, oh, homeschooling the kids. Yeah. I wanna spend loads of time with them and blah blah blah. I can tell you now, I do not have the temperament Mhmm. To sit at a at the fucking kitchen table and try and go through shit with mine. Like, there's no chance. You just I think you have to understand that it's gonna be extremely trying. And I I would imagine that most people need other influence. Like, the perfect if if I if money wasn't, a problem, I would say, like, yeah. I'll get involved with some of it, and I'll help teach some stuff that I know I'm good at Mhmm. And that I know that I can make it interesting. But then I might say, okay. I'll pay this person to teach maths because I know they're really good at it and that they'd be good at explaining. And I might get this person to teach history, and I might get this person to do something else. And I would just hire the best people for the job and say, right. I need you 3 hours a week, or I need you 4 hours a week, whatever it is, and you just pay them. So that would be the ideal. And as we're speaking about that, I'm thinking, like, I wonder if there's some sort of way that maybe people in the mesh to Dell and beyond could put some of their services, like, in terms of, like, okay. This is a topic I'm really well versed in, and I think I could put a curriculum together to explain and help kids within the Mestradell.
And then maybe these SATs can flow because you have this network of people who are willing to help each other. That might be some type of middle ground where it might be, additive to a kid's education. They might go to school, but it's like, oh, we want them to learn about whatever, something. And then you, you get someone involved from the master's done, and they can earn some stats. I'm glad you mentioned that
[00:32:56] Unknown:
because Oh, is this in the list, is it? This isn't in the list, but Oh. It it's not. No. It's not on the list. The the guy, Fundamentals, who who, played that bumper music before this segment, was ruminating about that same idea. He is a a math whiz and was trying to figure out curriculum, and I believe he is designing curriculum now for homeschooling for math Okay. And assistance and tutoring and whatnot. Okay. So I have some pretty decent math chops, and I I said, oh, that'd be, you know, something interesting to do. And he's like, oh, cool. Yeah. Yeah. You could be one of my guys, you know, that help with no. I was like, woah. Woah. Woah. No. No. I'm just saying. I've taken high levels of math, and and I'm okay with it. And that's fine, and I'll just stick to my kids. But he he was already recruiting for for math tutors. Yeah. But, yeah, let's let's go beyond that idea and see what we can do to pull resources together for help with homeschool. It's just it's interesting because if you already
[00:33:54] Unknown:
know someone in a Mehta Del and you're like, okay. Because there's a big difference between understanding something Mhmm. Well and being able to teach something well. There's a huge difference, like maths. I know some people who are fucking genius with maths, but I wouldn't let them anywhere near me or my kid to learn it. Not because I don't trust them, but because they would be terrible at explaining it. And so I think when you get to know people in a mesh, you could quickly be like, okay. And, also, depending on the type of kid you have, like Oh, yeah. You might say, oh, this person's really gonna gel well with my kid. Like, I know that they're gonna enjoy speaking to them, and they're gonna learn from them, but maybe not this other kid. Like, you you you get to experience that. So I think it could work, and you'd rather well, speaking personally, I'd much rather pay someone in a mister Dell or someone in the sort of communities to teach my kid, then I would just go to a random private school and have some upper tea county private school teacher. You know? It's, looking back I went to private school. I had, like, 2 teachers, 3 teachers in my whole experience that I ever respected or liked or who were any good, and they were brilliant. They were fucking amazing. Mhmm. But the rest of them were useless cunts. I mean, really fucking useless. And so I think,
[00:35:17] Unknown:
yeah, knowing knowing people is very important. Isn't it interesting that when a parent tries to teach or tell a kid something, the kid doesn't take to it. Oh, yeah. And then some stranger tells them something, you're like, what the hell? I I I told you that a 1000 times. They say it. Act like it's some big revelation. You know, a a father trying to teach their son carpentry or mechanics, it might click, it might not click. But when you progress beyond that, like what we used to have in the the apprentice the apprentice master relationship Yeah. Worked well for 1000 of years. Why have we abandoned that? Why can't we worked well for 1000 of years. Yeah.
Well, answer my question. We have here, I don't know what the vocational schools are like there, but in high school, you can start to choose to go to the vocational school, learn welding, nursing, mechanics, something like that. Yeah. And one of the Mastadelians was relaying that he went to Votec, and I'll tell you who this guy is off air. It's one of the smartest people that we know. Mhmm. And he went to Votek, and he was dating this girl who was kind of an uppity girl, and her father, was an uppity guy and he would come visit or have dinner there. And once the father found out that this mesh to delian went to Votech, he would go, oh, hey. How was retard school today? Did you do well in retard school?
[00:36:36] Unknown:
What a cunt.
[00:36:37] Unknown:
Yeah. And it was kind of that way for us. Like, in my high school, it was like the kids that messed up went to Votech. Like, oh, you don't do too well here? You're going to Votech. So they get dropped off at regular school for the normal bus system. Then we get picked up at 8 or 8:30 or something, and then get shipped off to Votek for the day and then get driven back to get on the regular buses to go out back home. But Votek was very much looked down upon, and it shouldn't be. We need to make the societal shift from higher education being the best and vo tech being stupid to what we actually know, that the smartest people are usually blue collar people that work with their hands. Yep. And the most educated people that you know are the dumbest motherfuckers around. Dumbest motherfuckers. Yeah. I can definitely tell you for a fact that that is true. It really annoys me, that sort of stuff. Really, people looking down on others,
[00:37:27] Unknown:
is one of the things that winds me up the most. And all I can say is I fucking hope that they don't buy Bitcoin and they HFSP.
[00:37:36] Unknown:
Closing out this education segment, a lot of the guys in the master, they'll have gifted kids. My Gifted kids. Includes gifted. Woah. Gift Woah. Yeah. Number 1's gifted.
[00:37:47] Unknown:
Oh, wow. I mean Yeah. When you said, what did they think about it? Kids. I was like, you can't just fucking give a kid away as a gift. That's weird. I was like, I'm pretty sure that's illegal. Well, we care too much about laws, but that's one law where I'd get behind. You know, I just gift kids. He's a kid.
[00:38:04] Unknown:
Oh, cheers. Thanks very much. I'm all for anarchy, but I'm taking a stand here. That should be a lot. Yeah. That's yeah. That's too much. They have gifted kids. They have kids with gifts. They're not gifting kids. Okay. Yeah. Gifted. Yeah. Yeah. There's a whole way The whole system here in the United States for the gifted program. You have to test into it, and teacher has to notice that you're kinda bright and whatnot. What what do you what's the criteria? What's the criteria for being gifted? Mhmm. You a teacher has to notice that the child is gifted, and then they get sent into the system to be tested Right. For giftedness.
Okay. And, yeah. You have gifts. If you pass the test, and it's pretty extensive, like, it's a couple hours long, and it's just a conversation between the gifted test administer at least it is in my school district. The gifted test administrator and the child, and they they determine their worth. Okay. Home homeschooling avoids all that. I mean, you can get an understanding of your kids' gifts and talents better than somebody else can or trying to convince the system like, hey, can you please give my child extra resources because they're getting bored here in school. Yeah. Conversation that we had is you have to watch out for the gifted kids. If the system misses them or you miss the fact that they're gifted, they need to be continually challenged. They find life easy and school easy until they don't find it easy. And then it's too late. And I see this with our number one child. Everything has come easy to her, and she doesn't study for anything and never has. And now she has to study for things. Mhmm. She has to keep up with things. She has to stay organized, and it's a little bit of a culture shock and something we've tried to avoid for the longest time. But inevitably, it's it's still happening. She's got such a and I'm not trying to knock her anything, but she didn't think she knows everything because Mhmm. For most of her life, she was right. Mhmm. She was at a higher level than everybody else. But now she's reeling It's difficult.
[00:39:59] Unknown:
It's not always you gotta put work into it. It's difficult sometimes with kids like that. If they're very bright and everything comes easy at school, they don't get used to the hard knocks and having to graft. And so I've seen that with some people I went to school with who were exceptionally good at memorizing facts and figures and passing tests. They were incredible at it. Like, didn't have to do anything, straight a's all the time, teacher's pets, perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect. Went into the real world. Oh, boy, did they get a fucking slap. And some of the other people who really struggled and had to work really hard and went out into the world were like, yeah, I'm used to this. I can graft.
Yeah. If they are I guess, I don't know how you get around that other than always make everything a challenge because this kind of like training, isn't it? If things are too easy all the time, they're not gonna get used to it.
[00:40:59] Unknown:
And the world doesn't give a fuck if you shed a tear because things are suddenly now hard. It's gonna keep slapping you. Now that can be translated into a lot of things with parenting, can it? Oh, yeah. To really close this out, I am meant to close it out before, but I wanted to to mention one last thing. One of the guys in there is a is a homesteader guy, and we were all saying like, wow. What a classroom your child lives in. That your everyday experiences of being on a homestead is constant, constant learning. And Souleks made the point. He says, export your child into the world or import the world into your child. Wow.
[00:41:36] Unknown:
Such a way with words. I write everything he says down. Yeah. You need to. Write down 2 copies of what's whatever's a fire or something. You don't wanna lose the stuff. That's true. That's a good point. I'd stamp it and steal. Yeah. Exactly. Can can Vulcan 21 make steel plates for things that sold excess? I'd imagine so. I'll speak to them. Okay. Actually, I'm not speaking to that cunt at the moment. He didn't talk to our fucking Bitcoin monthly. Halti. Little bitch, Antimus. Hey, Antimus. We're really looking forward to chatting to you. Me and q and a always get really hyped because we know we get to speak to him and, like, he's our favorite person in the world. So we're just like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, mate. Yeah. Yeah. We're looking forward to speaking to you. I can't do washing my hair. Are you sure you can't you can't make any time?
[00:42:19] Unknown:
I've got things to do. Find someone else.
[00:42:22] Unknown:
So I doubt it went down like that. It went down exactly like that. Full of shit. And then I wanna hear his side of things. Like, no, you don't. No, you don't. And then luckily, brother Rabbit hopped in. He said, come on, guys. I'm a real friend. I'll look after you. I'm in. So Dude. My
[00:42:39] Unknown:
dude. Yeah. Did you get him to do the baseload impression?
[00:42:42] Unknown:
Oh, no. I didn't, actually.
[00:42:44] Unknown:
You're missing out. Oh. Maybe he can,
[00:42:47] Unknown:
set if he's listening to this I know he listens to the show. If he listens to this, he can do a voice note and send it in to us, and we'll put it in the next show. It's so good. I've never heard it. Okay. It's so good.
[00:43:01] Unknown:
I'm throwing us off again. That's okay. I like it. Let's keep moving on to our sponsor, Bifrost Manufacturing.
[00:43:25] Unknown:
We made a point to, Aaron Hall the other day.
[00:43:28] Unknown:
I think I even said it on the show that that they are imagineers at Bifrost Manufacturing, and that they work in an imaginarium or an imaginasium. Which one do you like better? Say them again. Imaginearium or Imaginasium. Oh, Imaginarium by far. Okay. Imaginers work in an Imaginarium. Well, that's what Bifrost Manufacturing is, an imaginarium. They have a relationship with North Ticona University and their aerospace department. So working with kids in in college, you know, I guess we could call them kids now. We're all old men, so you can call some fucking college a kid. Do you know when you can do it? I've worked this out recently.
[00:44:10] Unknown:
It's nothing to do with gray hair or a belly. It's that you can call someone a kid or son. You can you can son someone. If when you get up out of your chair, you can't help but go,
[00:44:25] Unknown:
Oh, that's the truth.
[00:44:28] Unknown:
That's when you know you're fucked. You have to make that noise.
[00:44:33] Unknown:
You can summon someone. Well, there there you go. I think most of the, people at Bifrost aren't at that level, but I but I can tell you that Aaron Hall is at that level to be able to call people some. So they they work with the kids at North Dakota University in their aerospace department, which is tied with other aerospace people in that that area. I'm saying this because education is very important to the people at Bifrost. Working with the kids is very important with them. They want to do the battle bots competition they were talking about. You know what battle bots is? Yeah. I used to watch that. We used to call it Robot Wars in the UK. No. I I think it was 2 different shows. Like, Battlebots, Robot Wars. Yeah. Well, you you know, you guys invent all the shows, and then we copy it
[00:45:15] Unknown:
badly. Like The Office.
[00:45:18] Unknown:
Oh my god. We do what we can. What a shame. What a shame that is. When someone talks about The Office, and I know it's gotta be the American version, I just think, oh, for fuck's sake. But I'm well aware of your your hatred for the American Office. We all know. Yeah. Robot Wars. Robot Wars. Back to Robot Wars. So they want to work they want to work with kids on things like Robot Wars. They want to have kids come and learn about STEM, and it's very important to them. So I I like having them as a sponsor because they get little things like that. Community involvement, teaching the kids.
[00:45:50] Unknown:
Should we somehow work and fund a robot, like a pleb minor robot that can battle? It would be pretty cool when you nailed it. Yes. That would be fucking cool if it's built by the kids, and it's a plebminer mafia robot.
[00:46:10] Unknown:
Oh. You know what that robot is going to do downplays. Some of those robots, like, spin around or other one has, like, a big chopping arm or a rotating blade. What would this one be? I think it would have to be something to do with the tongue.
[00:46:22] Unknown:
It's got screaming tongue. Mhmm. Maybe it would be like a ram of some kind. Or could it be like electricity? Could it burn up, fry up the other ones? Oh, are you allowed to do that? Oh, you gotta fire. There was one that shot fire. Yeah. You could all fire. The tongue would do fire. God. I don't know. We'll think about it. We'll think about it, but I think Pat would be fucking I'd fund that. If it's kids building it through Bifrost and we can have the plugminer skull robot, yes, I'm all in. Alright.
[00:46:53] Unknown:
Send send in ideas. And you imagineers in your Imaginarium there in North Dakota at Bifrost, Please do the the Robot Wars BattleBots thing. Please. Oh, I just Please invest money in that. The kids will love it. Mhmm. And we will too. Bifrost Manufacturing. That's bifrostmanufacturing.com. Next order of business. How do you foster a spirit of civil disobedience in your child without, like, turning them against you or making them outright anarchists? Not to say that's a bad thing. It's a great thing. We brought this up in the mesh to del because we were talking about our kids. Some of the kids' meshdodelians children were very obedient in school or to authority or following rules.
Like, my kids are are like that. Hey. For instance, we were just at the water water park this weekend, and there was this wave runner ride, you know, where the water kinda shoots up and you get on it on a boogie board or you can stand up and, like, you're surfing. And number 1 comes over to where Sarah and I, and she's like, can you come over and sign this waiver? And I was like, waiver? I'm not signing shit. What are you talking about? Oh, they said I couldn't get on there. They asked if I signed the waiver and I said no. And I said, first of all, honey, you just say yes to that kind of stuff. Mhmm. You know, the those those kind of people, they don't know that whether you signed the waiver or not. Yeah. So we go I go over there and I see what the situation is. Always
[00:48:20] Unknown:
lie. Always lie.
[00:48:21] Unknown:
When it's things like that, I advise my kids to to to bullshit them. Try to do it. The truth. So there was somebody there with a waiver form, and I pick it up, and I put fake name, her name, fake name, fake date, crazy goofy signature. Here you go. Here you go. Here's your fucking waiver form. Now she's gonna go on the thing. I do that stuff all the time, but I've never been able to instill a sense in her to resist that kind of thing. Mhmm. What the hell does it matter? Are you putting your real name on this piece of paper for a water park to go on a ride? Not doing it. Well, that came up in this conversation. Like, one of the guys was like, my kid is very obedient on things, but when it's necessary, he questions in a very logical way. If teachers are wrong, he'll challenge the teacher on being wrong. So how do you instill in your child this balance to think critically, to resist rules that are unjust or illogical, but not be a complete pushover, or not be a complete anarchist or a fucking asshole who doesn't understand that some rules matter.
[00:49:30] Unknown:
There's a quote about that. It's like, in matters of little consequence, go with the flow. In matters of principle, stand like a rock. And I think that's kind of the point, isn't it? It's like, just go with the flow if it doesn't really fucking matter, but stand your ground if it does. And I don't know how you explain what does and doesn't matter because that's subjective. So I think you can only try and make your kids believe in themselves and trust their own judgment? I don't think you can really do much more than that because otherwise, you end up just pushing your own ideas, and they could be wrong.
[00:50:11] Unknown:
Never.
[00:50:13] Unknown:
Do you know what I mean, though? Like, it's hard to stand your ground if you don't believe in yourself. Mhmm. Mhmm. So if your kid hasn't had the encouragement or, like, been able to believe that they can do things that are tough, then they're not gonna stand their ground because they'd be too scared. Mhmm. So I think that's a big thing. It's, like, get your kids to do stuff that's tough and learn that they are tough themselves, and then they'll stand up to things. I don't know a better way than that. Because otherwise, you just end up sort of making them
[00:50:46] Unknown:
say no to everything and be difficult with you as well. And Yep. Yep. That was that was the fear, just make my kid a complete contrarian to everything without thinking logically and examining each situation.
[00:50:58] Unknown:
Yeah. Can you do this? Nope. I'm like, oh, fuck it. It's just like everything will be no. And resisting authority. Yeah. Yeah. But don't resist my authority. Everyone else's. Yeah. What are you, a tyrant? Yeah. I don't know. It's tough. And I think kids generally are pretty, like, push back on things generally anyway. Mhmm. I don't know. Mine aren't at an age yet where yeah, I could really comment. All I can tell you is that they are fucking ungovernable already. So I don't feel the need to, to,
[00:51:32] Unknown:
push that anymore. It's already there. You told me the other day you're getting a lot of Nope. No. Oh my god. Nope.
[00:51:42] Unknown:
No. New. All of that is fucking annoying. New. Yeah. New. It bitch slapped a kid the other day. Oh. Just like proper proper just in a shop for no reason. Just bitch slapped this kid. I was like, woah. What's that for? Don't know. Looked at him the wrong way.
[00:52:05] Unknown:
Cute kid. Yeah.
[00:52:07] Unknown:
Lovely.
[00:52:07] Unknown:
I've always thought in this that personal responsibility enables you to break free of state enforced morality. Good point. If you have high moral standings and you abide by a code, then that enables you to short state laws because you're I mean, a a real moral code, not not something you just made up. But if you if you're a moral person, you take care of your business, your family's business, then that gives you more of a foundation to stand on when resisting tyranny, unjust laws.
[00:52:41] Unknown:
Yeah. Actually, Shire Huddle wrote something today that I liked and retweeted that was exactly around this. He said, find out what it means to be good. Be good, and then you never need to give a damn about what anyone else's evaluation of you ever again. Life changed for me forever when I did this. I think that's a pretty good example of, like, if you know that what you're doing is right and good, then fuck everyone else and their rules. Yeah. I like that. I like that.
[00:53:19] Unknown:
Hey. If you support this show, stop dropping boosts. That's right, DMX. Stop stop what you're doing. Take a look at your phone and press that boost button and give us a shout. Tell us what you like. Tell us what you hate. Tell us if you like us. Tell us if you hate us. We don't really care. Long as you're interacting with the I don't know if you boost. Yeah. Right. Other ways you can boost is to send directly to paynim at plus maxbybit or me, weathered thunder 791. How do you like that one? When you go talk to samurai guys and give me a cooler PayNim, this one sucks. I have I spoke to them, mate. Oh, help out. Come on.
[00:54:08] Unknown:
I've tried. They're like, oh, John? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Can you get? Alright. No. No. No. No. Anybody else but him? Yeah. No. I, I haven't spoken to them. I will do. Weathered thunder's quite nice, though. Yeah. It's not bad. I wasn't unhappy about it. You are quite weathered. Yeah. Right? You bring the thunder. Boom. And you look like you're 791 years old, so I think it's perfect.
[00:54:31] Unknown:
Alright. Personalized painting. I might stick with it. Still wanna Triple p, perfect
[00:54:37] Unknown:
personalized painting.
[00:54:41] Unknown:
On our last mesh, Dal, we talked about ill communication, a breakdown in communications. And then right after that show aired, there was a severed submarine cable off the coast of Africa, which dropped a ton of Internet traffic in Africa. And we have a mestadelian or a couple mestadelians in the group that are from Ghana. They're from the Ghanaian Gold Coast. They call that there. I didn't know that, but now I do. And they verified, yes, that the Internet sucks there, and it's because of that submarine cable. Do what you can do to connect with each other. I have been on the repair side of one of these incidences, and it's no joke to get one of these cables repaired. It's no joke to route the traffic all around the world to bypass a, a severed cable. Now I don't know if the submarine cable was an act of terrorism, a natural disaster.
These kind of things happen. Particular incident incident that I was involved in was July of 2,001. I was in Baltimore at the time and working for a long distance company. They're the ones that have the original backbone in the United States, in the Eastern United States, MCI WorldCom. They're no longer defunct. Verizon Business purchased them up during the .com, you know, blow up. That company basically went out of business. They were doing shady dealings like borrowed money against them against one company to the other and then trying to pay the other company back. Went belly up. But they had a lot of the right of way to railroads in the United States during that time. So they just ran fiber optic cable along the railroads, and that was the original backbone of the Internet, the UUNet and WorldCom.
The route between Baltimore and Washington DC, there was the fiber run for that ran through this tunnel in Baltimore called the Howard Street Tunnel. And the way telecom is done is you have a working and protect side of every circuit. So the idea is to divest this working and protect. That way, if working gets severed, it goes to Protect and back and forth. And the worldwide Internet is built in that way to a degree, but you don't exactly have redundancy in the same path on submarine cables, so it takes a little bit of time. And the same was for the Internet. No. The Internet, of course, was a lot younger than it is now, and there's a lot less pipe and bandwidth going through the United States compared to now. But the working and protect side of these fibers ran through this tunnel in Baltimore, and there was a train derailment. And the word we got at the time is that there was, like, one car with paper and another car with hydrochloric acid. And the train derailed, and the paper and the hydrochloric acid created some big giant fiber.
I don't know if that was true. That's what we were being told at the time. And it melted both sides of the well, melted both working and protect. It was like Working was running on one side of the tunnel and Protect was running on the other. So way to separate them. Melts both sides, drops a huge amount of Internet traffic on the East Coast of the United States. So that was a lot of the pipe between New York and Washington, DC and that entire corridor there. I was out and about that night. That was at a time where I was on the road 300 something days out of the year. So most of the time, me and the boys were out gallivanting around town. I'll just say that. So we were doing our gallivanting, and I get the call at, like, midnight that this happened. I don't remember what time. It was it was late. Put it that way. Okay? I get the call, and I used to have this boss, Spanky, and he was from Eastern Kentucky. And I tell you, that's, like, in the mountains of Appalachia. So he had a real hillbilly accent. And at that time, everybody called me Diesel. That was my nickname. So he calls me up and goes, I called it. That's a cool nickname. Nice. So he calls me up and says, hey. Hi, Diesel. What are you doing? I was like, you know, I don't know. We're out. You coming out? No. No, man. I need you to go back into Baltimore right now. Things are messed up. Everything's down. I'm something I have about a train. I need you to get back there right immediately. Get everybody less going. I was like, oh, dude. I I can't right now. He goes, I I don't fucking care. You gotta get there. I was like, Spanky, I'm, you know, not 3 sheets to the wind, but maybe half square to the wind. I don't care. Do what you gotta do. I said, can I go to Waffle House and get some food? Yep. The Waffle House. Get me some food too. So we get into the the central office there, and, you walk in and it was red lights everywhere. And you're supposed to see, like, a little red light here and there, maybe a fan error or something like that, or some kind of bad card that one side switched to protect on on the system, not to see just a sea of red lights as you as you go in there. Now, I was pretty green to this. I had only been out of the Marine Corps a year and in this job, which was in telecom, the same industry that I was in in the Marine Corps, but completely, completely different job. What we did then was build large bandwidth pipes from city to city. So I walk in there, and I'm like, I don't know what I'm supposed to do. The installers come come running in, and we start running fibers all along the floor. The really, really smart guys are a ways away, and I had to be there on the phone with them saying, Hey, there's a rack over here. We need you to plug into that system and just run fiber along the floor and plug into this system, and we're gonna route back up. We're gonna loop everything back up to New York. Go across west to Pennsylvania, drop down into West Virginia and North Carolina, and then come back up to DC that way. So we had to reconfigure all these systems. We're, like, whipping cards out of the machines and putting them in and reprovisioning and stuff like that. That was my first experience in life with super, super smart, old head guys that knew everything about their job because they they built the network. They've been in it for 30 years. And it's cool now for me that I'm now one of those old head guys. Like, I can do this in my area. I can tell you where every pole is, where every splice is, where all the manhole fronts are, where they come up, where they come in out. I'm relaying this story, 1, because it's kind of a fun story. We worked for about 3 days, and we finally got everything routed up to New York, down West Virginia and North Carolina, back up to DC. Just shit all over the floor. Systems completely tore apart. Cards everywhere. It takes a lot of work and a lot of labor to rebuild these systems. For submarine cable, it takes a lot of work to hook that thing and bring it back onto a ship and resplice all that stuff. First of all, these cables are armored, so it's a bitch to get them open to begin with. But then to make a splice that's able to to get submersed like that, it has to be absolutely perfect. These things take a long time to fix. They're not always acts of terrorism. It's not always some conspiracy theory, why the Internet went down. These are just real things that happen, and you should probably be prepared for them. Shit happens. What are you gonna do?

Did you write that one down? No, I didn't. I'm just that sharp. It's good, isn't it? You didn't listen to a word I said the whole time. You're just, like, repeating that over and over in your head so you didn't forget it. Yeah. Honestly, I thought of it very early on as soon as you started the story. And I was like, oh, he's in a flow. He's telling stories. I don't want to interrupt this, but I'm not gonna let this one go. Hey, there you go, Link and Park rules. That's the chapter heading. Say it again. Shit happens. What are you gonna do? Well, shout out to our Ghanaian friends and everyone who's tuning in. Thanks for the story, and thanks for the support.

Hey. Look up in the sky. What do you see? Why it's
[01:01:46] Unknown:
all terror.

Mining has been a big part of our life here in this house, and our kids know a lot about mining. And I think it's a great way not only to talk I don't know if you talked about this in a previous episode or this episode, orange pilling, like, blue collar people, but I think it's also a great way of orange pilling kids too. And Altair has a lot of resources for helping your kids get involved in mining, from their custom 120 volt Lokey Rig builds, little stick USB miners from Gecko Science, the BIDEX stuff so they can learn how to actually solo mine, log in the stuff, build things, solder. They've got lots of parts and accessories so you can get your kids hands on experience with swapping out control boards or taking out fans. The control boards being for sale on Altair and the single boards enable you to build a lot of these a 120 volt builds, a Loki rig build. So I appreciate Altair. Don't know how many times I said Altair. Altair for having those kind of parts available to make mining like a a family activity. Yeah. What a cool way to
[01:02:55] Unknown:
dive into maths or engineering or any of those sort of things. Like, you can use that as an anchor and teach them so much from mining. I think it's a really, like, fun way and also a good way to shill and to sort of share your passion with your kids as well. If you're into this stuff, then you're gonna wanna talk about it. But rather than just banging on at the dinner table, you can be like, hey, let's build something together. And if you do order that project to work with your child on Bitcoin mining, please be sure to use our coupon code, Ungovernable,

or the ref link on the website or in the show notes. That's Altair io I swear to god I'm gonna say altire many more times so I apologize. That's altiretechnologies dot I o. Altair Tech. Nope. I'm gonna do it over again. That's alti all that's altair tech dot I o. Altairtech.i0. Very nice. You or Dan is not going to edit any of that out, are you? No, we're going to leave it exactly how it is.
[01:04:01] Unknown:
I was also just speaking the entire time, but I was muted. So what a shambles. No. I thought you just left me hanging. No. No. What a fucking shambles. But I was just gonna say, what happens if someone does use our code, Ungovernable?
[01:04:14] Unknown:
Do they get any sort of discount, or is it just that they're helping support the show? Oh, well, I'm glad you mentioned that. I am remiss that I did not mention that. You get a 1% discount for using our coupon code. Oh, that's nice.
[01:04:27] Unknown:
Well, so they you get another little bit if you pay in Bitcoin. Do you? Okay. Very nice. Because Altair wants the Bitcoin. They stack that coin. Mhmm. And it supports the show. We get a little few sats as well when you do an order, and it all helps support the show. So if you are going to buy some mining equipment, I suggest you go to altereoltairetech. Io. That was very nice.

And last but not least, on this episode of PMM, we've got Palantir's, Middle Earth, and Mordor, an article by Charles Myriel titled They Brought the War to Your Living Room. This is a short one. Hang on a minute. What? Why did you miss out the middle name? I like when you say the full name. Charles? Francois. Bienvenue. Mireille.
[01:05:19] Unknown:
Yeah. That's better.

Titled, They Brought the War to Your Living Room. A good story is one that transcends time. It is culturally relevant for 1000 of years because it depicts universal truths that remain just as important to understanding across multiple generations. Stories like this have the power to completely change a person's life and perspective. There is something special about how fiction can be used to express truth. Lord of the Rings is one of those stories that will stay relevant forever. And a scene from the Lord of the Rings, where they're in the minds of Moria. Frodo says, I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened. And Gandalf says, so do all that live to see such things. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time given to us. There are other forces at work in this world besides the evil.
Bilbo was meant to find the ring, which case means you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought. How many of us have been bestowed burdens that make us question, why continue forward? One of the greatest burdens is having the awareness to see how broken our society and culture is. Ignorance is truly bliss, and awareness means understanding the people controlling most aspects of your life are pedophiles and war criminals. Our society is sick, and it is the responsible of every conscious person to address that issue, unless they believe in leaving future generations worse off. The problem is that genuinely seeking to improve the world means actively stepping into conflict with the ruling class, which can be incredibly dangerous. Most of us want to avoid conflict because conflict brings risk. In previous articles, I talked about who the demoralizers are and how to counteract them. In this article, I want to talk about how the reason I want to talk about the reason why individuals should seek to counteract them. Asking why is incredibly important because we need a compelling reason to enter into potential risk. For many, it was risky resisting vaccine mandates, Taking a strong stance against the destruction of our society through lockdowns was not a popular opinion. People lost their jobs, friends, were disowned by family, and even arrested for doing so. Julian Assange may die for resisting these people. The battle for Middle Earth was not a battle that Frodo chose to enter into.
It was one that he was called to enter because he did not have much of a choice. In the same way, conscious people are grappling with a monetary system that is crumbling, and governments growing increasingly more totalitarian. Co assertive government structures are always illegitimate, but in peaceful times, they can be rationalized as acceptable by many. People put up with government because they think it keeps them safe, but the reality we have today is that government is undeniably a liability that cannot be ignored. Lord of the Rings is such a good story because it felt like the odds were stacked against the people resisting Saruman. The entire battle of the world was in the hands of 2 hobbits, the smallest and least significant race in Middle Earth. When you look at the Leviathan ruling over us today, it can feel like resistance is futile. They want you to believe that resistance is futile, which is why they are publicly torturing Julian Assange in front of the whole world. It is why they allow us to be aware of mass surveillance, war crimes, blatant corruption, and congressional insider trading. You may wish that none of this was happening, and the ability to see clearly, it was not given to you. The problem is that once you see it, you cannot unsee it. And to attempt to go back to ignorance would be soul crushing.
Good and courageous people are called to action when they see danger and choose to face it rather than to hide. We cannot choose what is happening around us, but we can choose how to respond to it. This war for the human mind and spirit is unavoidable at this point. There are enclaves you will likely be able to retreat to deep in the jungles, deserts, and mountains. Even there, you may not be safe from what is coming. There, you will have to live with an understanding of what the people you left behind are experiencing. The reason to make a stand against evil is because, like Gandalf told Frodo, there are other forces at work in the world besides evil. We live in a battle of perspective and narrative, and the forces that seek to control you and enslave you want you to feel that resistance is futile. What they're doing is unnatural, because the default human state is freedom. The battle ahead will be discouraging, but is winnable.
The reason to continue forward is because the alternative requires us to completely kill our minds and spirits in order to survive. Either way, life ends in death, and our lives are not the most valuable thing they can take from us. No. The most valuable thing we carry with us is our dignity. The question of why is the most important question.
[01:10:05] Unknown:
So are we hobbits?
[01:10:06] Unknown:
Well, I mean, in this tale, we are. Some people are hobbits. Some people are Boromir. Some people are Gimli. I'd follow you to the fires of Mordor. You you would what? I'd follow you to the fires of Mordor, my hobbit friends. Does that mean you're my Sam? I can't do it, Sam. You've got to, mister Frodo.
[01:10:26] Unknown:
You know that was, written very not too far from me. Is that some? Yeah, you can go to a little pub in Oxford where it's written. They were called, like, the Booklings or something like that. I forget. Something like that. Him and CS Lewis. Mhmm.
[01:10:41] Unknown:
So we're hobbits. We're in the Lord of the Rings. We don't have to be hobbits. And I do believe I said Saruman instead of Sauron. Damn you, Tolkien. Sour cream. We're in a fight against sour cream.
[01:10:55] Unknown:
We are the spicy Doritos. Just don't be so silly. No. Is it good? I like that. It's very good. I think it is important to remember that even if you are a hobby, even if you are I don't can't remember how he phrased it, but, like, the smallest, most feeble creature in your own mind. You're not really, and you can stand up to these globalist cunts. And you can defeat a dragon. You can slay a dragon. You just gotta team up with some dwarves, and, yeah, you can win. And a wizard. You need a wizard. Who's the wizard? Gandalf. Satoshi, maybe. No. But Ennard Oh, I thought you were asking me.
What's that wizard's name? Yeah. No. I think, the wizard would be Satoshi. We've got a few dwarves in our midst. Mhmm. And, I think I think you might be an orc, actually. What? I'd probably be an elf. Well, just back in a little back. I don't know. I'd be I'd be an elf. I'd go with dwarves. Because I'm graceful and skillful. Really? Yes. Yes. That's you know who we are? Who? We're Gimli and Legolas.
[01:12:00] Unknown:
Okay. And you're tall and beautiful and fair. Yes. And I'm short and ugly and hairy. And my axe.
[01:12:11] Unknown:
Actually, if I had to go to war, I would choose an axe. Obviously, if you can't have, like, a rifle or whatever, I would choose an axe. Okay. Well So maybe I'm maybe I'm a dwarf. I don't know. Nope. You're legless. You're supposed to have a bow. Okay. Alright. Okay. Don't mess with this. It's been a pleasure recording with you today, Max. Yeah. I wish I could say the same, mate. Yeah. It's been good, and thank you for everyone who's contributed to the show. Thank you to everyone who has sent in sats, who has contributed articles, and everything else. Bye.
[01:12:43] Unknown:
Do we have an outro?
[01:12:46] Unknown:
Do we have an outro?
[01:12:48] Unknown:
No. Fuck stuff. Nope. He didn't send it, but hopefully he does. Yeah. Okay.
[01:12:54] Unknown:
We can chop it in. Chop it in. Okay, mate. Well, I'll catch you on the next one. Alright, brother.
[01:13:00] Unknown:
Later.
