## Resource

Today, I sit down with Brandon Gentile, fellow Bitcoin content creator and homeschooling father, to talk about the war most people don't even know is being fought. We cover the late-stage fiat death spiral, multiple societal cycles converging all at once, why Max Pain is probably unavoidable, and why separating education from the state matters just as much as separating money from the state.
