What if the dollar in your pocket is, by any honest definition, a counterfeit? In this conversation, Robert Breedlove joins Mark Wooding — artist, philosopher, and creator of the After Skool and Before Skool channels — for a sweeping journey through the five pillars of a meaningful life, anchored by a deep dive into the nature of money, power, and Bitcoin. The conversation spans the corruption of language and the magic of words, time preference and why money printing destroys long-term thinking, the debt-based oxymoron of fiat currency, why Bitcoin and crypto are not the same thing, and what the number zero and the printing press tell us about whether Bitcoin can actually be stopped. Robert explains why roughly 30 families are rumored to own over half of all global wealth, why the Federal Reserve is legally authorized to do what would land any civilian in prison, and why Bitcoin — like mathematics — cannot be suppressed by force. This conversation explores the deeper forces shaping human behavior, institutions, and the future of civilization.
