Can we really rebuild our society and achieve total freedom?
John Bush (@JohnBushlivefreenow) has built one of the more grounded blueprints I've seen for exiting the system instead of complaining about it. In this episode, we get into parallel societies, the four horsemen of technocracy, the difference between Bitcoin as a store of value and privacy coins, and why he thinks stablecoins are replacing the CBDC rollout people were warned about.
So, what's actually working at the community level? John shares why his first intentional community fell apart, what he learned the hard way about vetting people, and how the Haven Village project is structuring land, trusts, and private membership associations differently.
There's a lot here on the practical side too: de-Googled phones, mesh communication, and the trifecta of PMA, trust, and ministry that lets you build outside the system without abandoning everything inside it.
If you've been stuck in a cycle of doomscrolling and not knowing what to do next, press play.
