Michael Saylor's Bold Bitcoin Bet: How He's Using Debt to Buy Digital Gold

Lenders like this deal because they have the option to convert the debt into shares of MicroStrategy stock later on. If Bitcoin's price goes up, the company's stock will likely go up too, making the conversion...

062. Zoltan Istvan, Michael Phillip | Are we on the Cusp of a Transhumanist Utopia?
We have absolutely no idea what the future will hold, but we’re definitely on the cusp of something huge. Are we headed for an unprecedented utopian neo renaissance? Will technological and medical breakthroughs enable us to live practically forever so we’re free to pursue our passions all day long? Or are we on the verge of something darker? Some sort of Huxlian, Orwellian dystopia steeped in thought control, murderous AI and oligarch overlords who'll invade our minds in an effort to milk us for money and energy as we jump willingly into ultra-plush matrix pods of t...

Although more and more of the analog world is seeping into the digital realm, the almighty dollar has managed to resist the pixel-y tide. Currency creation remains an esoteric, behind-the-scenes process controlled by a few privileged, monocle-clad, suit- wearers -- why is that? Are we meant to believe money is great the way it is, or sacred? I'm not (pun intended) buying it, nor are the thousands of people using Bitcoin.

It's Not Science Fiction, It's Biomimicry- Dr. Michael Nosonovsky, Michael Phillip
“In the first half of the 20th century, the prevailing idea was that humans could be masters of nature and the universe. We thought that human power was unlimited. We thought- ‘we can change rivers, we can move mountains—’ we can actually conquer nature. Then, sometime in the second half of the 20th century, we made the realization that the relationship between nature and humans is actually much more complex than that. We can learn a lot from nature. This is where the idea of biomimetics and harmony between man and nature came in.”

The Undying Stars also argues that this ancient wisdom was deliberately suppressed by forces who took over the Roman empire, which launched a ruthless campaign to eradicate this esoteric system of knowledge.
