Ep 39 - WTF happened in 1971, 2008 and 202. Heavily Armed Clown & Ben Prentice

On this week's episode I'm joined by Colin, aka; Heavily Armed Clown and Ben Prentice, the two founders of wtfhappenedin1971.com. We talk through Colin's incredible recent piece Wisdom & Law: https://heavilyarmedclown.medium.com/wisdom-and-law-e235196f4c93 We talk about each of our journeys into Bitcoin and the breadcrumbs along the way which helped each of us converge onto Bitcoin very quickly despite some initial dabbling in shitcoins. We talk about who inspired us early on, and why the "class of 2016, 2017 and 2018" Bitcoiners are some of the most revolutionary and eloquent. We discussed Chaos & Order, and how Bitcoin embodies this process. We discuss why some people "get it" and others don't, especially with intellectuals like Weinstein (who don't). We look at a few things through the Jordan Peterson Lens. And lastly the boys tell us a bit about their new WTF Happened in 2008 and 2020 projects.

Our money no longer represents our work, time or effort, the freedom to speak out is obstructed under the guise of "diversity, inclusion and safety", privacy is no longer respected and surveillance has become mainstream "for our protection".
