Venice built the greatest commercial empire in European history without a central bank, without industrial policy, and without a single economic development agency. While Byzantine bureaucrats strangled Constantinople with regulations and Frankish kings debased their currencies, Venetian merchants created wealth through voluntary exchange and sound money. The lagoon dwellers who fled Attila's hordes in 452 AD had nothing but salt marshes and fish. No natural resources. No agricultural surplus. No inherited infrastructure. What they possessed was something far more valuable: distance from the coercive apparatus of mainland states. This geographic accident forced them to survive through trade rather than taxation, commerce rather than conquest. Venice's constitution deliberately fragmented power to prevent any single authority from controlling trade. The Doge held ceremonial functions while competing merchant families checked each other's ambitions. No guild could monopolize an industry without rivals organizing alternative trading networks. When the state tried to restrict private commerce in 1297 with the Serrata del Maggior Consiglio, it marked the beginning of Venice's decline, not its peak. The Venetian ducat maintained its gold content for over 500 years while every other European currency suffered debasement. Merchants could calculate profits across decades, plan investments across generations, and accumulate capital without worrying about monetary manipulation. Compare this to England, where Henry VIII cut silver content by 83% in just 20 years. Voluntary association and sound money create abundance. Coercion creates poverty. Venice proved this. The same economic laws that enriched Venetian merchants still operate today, waiting for governments brave enough to get out of the way.

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers. When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it. They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long. In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it. The flowers attract a standing army to our fields. We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.

Any help would be much appreciated 🧡

Value is not a physical thing To all the people who think bitcoin can’t have value because it’s not tangible... Tangible assets constitute the following percentage of the Mag7 market caps: Nvidia: 0.66% Apple: 1.38% Tesla: 4.06% Microsoft: 7.29% Alphabet: 8.39% Meta: 9.56% Amazon: 16.28% Combined weighted average: 5.79% If you liquidated all of these companies’ physical assets, they wouldn’t amount to 6% of their valuation. There have been days in which the market caps of these companies have moved by more than the total value of their physical assets. If 94% of the value of the most valuable companies on earth is non-physical, then value does not have to be physical. If digital things have no value, then you should have no problem with giving me your computer to erase all the data from it. I will return your computer to you in the same exact physical form. I will just press a few buttons that remove all your data, photos, and contacts, and make it impossible for you to restore them. If value can only be tangible, then all of these digital things have no value, and you shouldn’t mind me deleting them as long as the devices return in their original state. I don’t think you would. Technology, data, business knowledge, customer base, brands, and so much more are non-physical assets whose value likely exceeds that of all the planet’s physical objects and land. This is something most people understand in their daily lives, but because most people have no understanding of money, they do not understand how it applies to money, too. Most people think their money is physical, but in reality, most fiat currencies today are 90% digital, and usually less than 10% of the supply is physical paper money. There are no stacks of dollars in your bank sitting in a box under your name, available for you to pick up at any time. A tiny fraction of the money is physical, and the rest is digital, manufactured in various quantities by your bank, government, central bank, and other pedophiles, in quantities based on pure vibes. People still give this non-physical fiat money value because it is the only money they can use with a bank account, since governments only license banks that use their local fiat shitcoin. There is no need for the money to be physical to work; digital fiat money works as well as physical fiat money; or as badly. Bitcoin is an entirely digital money, but it is given value for far more intelligent and peaceful reasons than fiat money. You can read more about that in my books The Bitcoin Standard and The Fiat Standard, which you can buy from Amazon or TheSaifHouse.com. A common objection to bitcoin’s value is: “But if people stop believing in the value of bitcoin it can lose all value.” But that is true of everything. If people stop believing in the value of gold, it would lose value and just become another worthless rock. If people stop believing in the value of electronic devices then Apple and Nvidia go to zero. If people stop believing in the value of Manhattan, then all Manhattan real estate goes to zero. If people discover that tomatoes are poisonous, they stop believing in the value of tomatoes, and the entire planet’s tomato industry goes to zero. Just because something is physical does not guarantee its value, as we can see from the infinite amount of sand and rocks on our Earth left completely untouched by human hands. Physical things can be valueless and non-physical things can have value. Value and physicality are two independent things that are orthogonal to each other. You are doing yourself a disservice if you are unable to benefit from the world’s most advanced money and best saving technology because you are unable to see that value can be non-physical in this one instance, when you have no problem seeing it elsewhere.

The cow converts grass into saturated fat, which your brain is made of. The cow converts grass into B12, which your neurons require to fire. The cow converts grass into zinc and iron in bioavailable haem form, which your immune system runs on. The cow does all of this by eating something you cannot eat. We have spent thirty years trying to replace this with a product made from peas in a factory in the Netherlands. No notes.

Britain is 110% self-sufficient in lamb. Let that sink in for a moment. Not "pretty good." Not "mostly fine." One hundred and ten percent. We grow more than we eat and export the rest. We have done this on permanent upland pasture that cannot be used for anything else, managed by farmers whose families have worked the same ground for generations, using animals that have been optimised for these conditions over centuries. 85% self-sufficient in beef. 100% in milk. 90% in eggs. The animal products on your plate, if you're eating in Britain, are almost certainly British. The supply chain is: farm, abattoir, butcher or supermarket. Measured in miles. Sometimes in tens of miles. Now. Your January strawberries are from Egypt. Your year-round peppers are from Spain or Morocco. Your salad leaves are from Israel in winter. Your green beans come from Kenya. Your blueberries are from Peru or Chile. They travel by refrigerated air freight, which is roughly fifty times more carbon-intensive per kilogram than road transport, to sit in a plastic clam shell next to a small flag and the word "fresh." The environmental argument against British animal products is not an environmental argument. It is a geography argument made by people who have not checked where their food comes from. Check where your food comes from.

Reminder that this account told you that Keynesian economics, central banks, covid, the climate crisis, renewable energy, altcoins, democracy, nutrition science, Zionism, and psychiatry are all stupid fiat scams before it was safe or cool to do so.

Under President Trump, U.S. Military servicemen and women are being killed and injured, reportedly at higher numbers than we are being told and innocent children were killed at a school in Iran by U.S. bombs. The price of oil is skyrocketing, tankers are being bombed, and today the President released half of our Strategic Oil Reserves to try to stop gas prices from going out of control. And with all this, President Trump, who promised Americans “no more foreign wars, no more regime change” spent the day in Kentucky telling approximately 500 Fox News brainwashed boomers (most not even from the district) that Massie is bad because Massie didn’t vote for Trump’s COVID lockdowns and COVID bailouts and COVID vaccines in 2020 and because Massie (and me) voted to release the Epstein files which embarrassed a bunch of the President’s friends. Maybe it has something to do with him not believing he’s going to heaven, which is extremely concerning by the way! By the time Trump’s presidency and wars are over, we will be nearing $60 trillion dollars in debt and the only man in Washington that will have voted NO to all the insanity will be Thomas Massie.

Hi Jack, every Tuesday and Friday I bake fresh Sourdough bread in the wood fire oven to fund my SATS habit. 30 is a medium day for me. The most I’ve done was 50 a day. I listen to you every single Tuesday morning (for me) out of South Africa. Much love brother.

Sometimes I forget to eat my pre-workout carbs. Then I remember that the Mongols conquered 24 million square kilometres, the largest contiguous land empire in human history, on horseback, in all weathers, eating dried meat and fermented mare's milk. No oats. No banana. No "fast-digesting carbohydrates to fuel performance." Just men who had been eating animals their entire lives and apparently had sufficient energy to defeat every army between the Pacific and the Danube. I think I can manage leg day.

A conversation that happens, with small variations, rather too often: Doctor: Your markers are excellent. Inflammation low. Blood pressure great. Fasting glucose optimal. What are you eating? Patient: Beef, eggs, butter, salt, mostly. Doctor: You need to be careful with red meat. Patient: You just described my results as excellent. Doctor: The results are good, yes, but the diet... Patient: Is producing the results you called excellent. Doctor: There are long-term concerns. Patient: It's been five years. Doctor: I'd like to monitor this. Patient: You're currently monitoring it. You just called it excellent. [A long pause.] Doctor: Try to eat some vegetables. Patient: Right.

Stop saying you can’t afford to "eat healthy." It’s a whole lot of baloney. Your "too expensive" excuse is actually a "I don’t want to plan" excuse in disguise. Here is the reality check you probably need: 1. The ROI of Health: No asset, not BTC, not real estate, beats your health. Healthy food is an investment that pays daily dividends in mood, libido, and energy. Junk food is a high-interest loan you’ll eventually default on. 2. The Price Illusion: A meal at McDonald’s or Chick-fil-A is ~$15. For $45/day, you can eat like royalty at home. Even grass fed beef and asparagus are cheaper than a DoorDash habit once you factor in the "service fees" and tips. 3. The Time Myth: Between the drive-thru line and the DoorDash wait, you could’ve seared a salmon and boiled potatoes. You aren't "saving time," you're just spending it doomscrolling while you wait for a stranger to bring you lukewarm seed oils and artificial flavors. 4. The Budget Audit: If you have money for alcohol, tobacco, designer shoes, or your 10th athleisure set, you have money for quality protein, fruit and vegetables. It's not a lack of funds; it's a lack of priority. 5. Nutrient Density: Calculate the cost per vitamin/mineral. Processed food is incredibly expensive when you realize you're paying for "filler" that makes you foggy and tired. Conclusion: Eating overpriced garbage and taking pills to mask the symptoms isn't "living." It’s a slow-motion car crash. You have the sovereign right to be lazy and eat "engine lubricant" fries and a Big Arch Burger product, but stop pretending it’s a financial decision. It’s a discipline decision. Own it. Then fix it. Or don't, the choice is yours.

The sheep has been here since the Neolithic. It built the wool trade that built medieval Britain. It funded the abbeys and the cathedrals. It preserved history on its skin. It clothed the world. It maintained the habitats we now spend millions trying to restore. It provided medicine, cosmetics, and material science from a hillside on grass. It got into the founding myths, the bedtime rituals, and the language. It sits, symbolically, under the Lord Chancellor in Parliament. It changed what a cell could become and gave its name to a country music legend in the process. In return, we've given it a reputation for being slow, a bit stupid, and not particularly interesting. The sheep has responded to this assessment by continuing, without comment, to do everything it has always done. On the same hills. In the same rain. Maintaining the same turf. Passing the knowledge of the land to the next generation in a way no fence or map can replicate. The sheep does not require your acknowledgment. It would be nice if it got some.

A combine harvester killing wheat kills: Mice. Voles. Rabbits. Hares. Ground-nesting birds. Their eggs. Their young. Their burrows. Their entire season's work. Every creature that lived in that field, gone in forty minutes of mechanical efficiency, ploughed back into the soil like it never happened. A cow grazing a meadow kills: The cow. Once. After eighteen months of actively improving the biodiversity of every square metre it walked on. Tell me again which diet has the blood on its hands.

The carnivore diet will never be recommended by: - Doctors (it eliminates most of their patients) - Nutritionists (it makes their degrees irrelevant) - Food companies (it kills 90% of their products) - Pharmaceutical companies (it cures the diseases they profit from) - Supplement companies (you don't need their products) - Fitness influencers (you don't need their complicated protocols) - Government agencies (they exist to sell agricultural products) The diet that works is the diet that threatens the most industries. Which is exactly why you've never heard a doctor suggest it. Not because it doesn't work. Because it works too well.
