Today the Gaggle takes on cities and all that is good and bad about them. We look at the use of zoning and planning to control the population and the latest incarnation of this known as Agenda 21. We also welcome a special guest for some historical context, Prof CJ from the Dangerous History Podcast.

Today, the Gaggle discusses the core problems with government schools, why the system was set up the way it is, and steps people are taking privately to ensure that their children get the kind of education that will prepare them to thrive in the 21st century.

This time four members of the gaggle taken on the food system. We discuss some of the problems with the existing centralized system and the problems that come from the states intervention.
We then quickly turn to what can be done about it. The great news is food is one place you can still make a difference rather quickly. We discuss ways all of us have and do grow food including basic gardening, hydroponics and keeping small livestock.

Today the gaggle takes on cryptocurrency with all its good and bad. We discuss the real power of cryto specifically as an agorist lies in what it can do and what it can’t be prevented from doing.
No matter where you are in your walk with crypto from total newbie to seasoned vet you are going love this one. The real problem for many in the crypto community is they see it as a “silver bullet” vs. simply an arrow in the quiver of the agorist. We also talk about 3-D printing a bit today with our newest member of the Gaggle Sal the Agorist.
Blockchain – tech that allows crypto to happen – goldmine, where you put a stake around each piece of gold,and give someone the key
Bitcoin is the key to the distributed ledger; no inherent value other than what the open market is willing to pay for it; gold has an actual use, bitcoin does not
Can code contracts into them
Selling a stake/piece of real estate onto the blockchain/open ledger
Discover new bitcoins using a cryptographic algorithm that changes based on the work the computer does. Once a certain amount of work is done, the location is open, and the blockchain is released.
People trade the codes with each other – selling a deed to a location on a distributed drive
Crypto is the most powerful counter-economic tool we have ever had
Sam Conklin – on one counter-economic tool will suffice to bring about the agora, but if we bring them together, we will get there.
Global, decentralized network without hierarchy – Anarchy in action
Anarchy all around us, all the time – decisions made without the coercive use of the state
Silver & Gold can be stolen – crypto cannot be stolen
Crypto faults
Creating currencies to digitally trade in – trading stock certificates, not a stable price instrument, value fluctuates
No recourse against those creating the value
No one actually owns cryptocurrency
Forms of crypto
Bitcoin, litecoin, dash, Arc token, proof of stake
How many provide service for crypto: All 6 panelists accept crypto in some way, shape, or form
Natural solution for selling Kratom
Not trackable, value rising, other ways to use crypto beyond the transaction
Peer-to-peer transactions that the state cannot censor
Non-traceable in theory
KYC – Know Your Customer law, customer id verification process
AML – Anti-Money Laundering
Government building a global economy based on blockchain
Wallet can be pseudonymous
Public Address = Account Number
Private Key = What you need to gain access/control
Ensure you are using a wallet (on phone, desktop, hardware)
Only you have access to private key
Coinbase Wallet has access to your private key
Bitcoin & Crypto ATMs across the world – You don’t need to have crypto, just put your cash in and send to the wallet
Back up your wallet
Seed = 12 word mnemonic phrase
Learn one phrase a day until you know them all
Write down and place in secure place – scrap steel or aluminum & scratch it in
Can export wallet file, or write down private key
Install wallet on multiple devices, then use key code to access your file
The point of crypto is to actually use it and circumvent the system
Just focus on the technology of cryptocurrency
Listener questions about the ledger nano, 3d printing, whether to buy gold, silver, or crypto, and how to convince local businesses to accept cryptocurrency

Join us for a discussion on community, what it is, how it can work in a digitally changing environment and explore state imposed “community” vs real ones.
2 types of people in this world – those who want to be left alone and those who just won’t leave you alone
Participate in small affinity groups, mutual aid groups, freedom cells
Problem is what is happening with the global culture, and the unprecedented levels of interconnectedness
The point of culture/community is to help people thrive and survive in a particular environment
The solution is always community; the difficult part is how do we get a grasp on the social environment in which we are going to plant these communities, and what are the seeds we are going to plant?
What is the purpose of forming these communities?
You don’t all have to agree on everything. You just need to agree on what you want to accomplish in your own lives. Example – Nicole’s community in the Holler.
Have a shared set of core values
Are we individualists or collectivists? And how do we best organize?
People don’t get attached to the mission, they get attached to the leader
Don’t make a target out of yourself or your group
At what point are you in the community, and when are you an observer?
Virtual versus physical communities
Can be global, with smaller, local sub-communities
Government cannot win a technology war
Leaders need to check their egoes
Be wary of revolutions – at the end of a revolution, you get more government
WHAT DO YOU WANT? Humans of Earth, what is it that you want?
“Only a fool would let an enemy educate his children.” Malcolm X
“Agorism in action creates its own institutions and builds the institutions of a free society within the shell of the old. When people start offering services, they create markets and prices. When they have conflicts, they find means to arbitration and protection. That’s what’s so beautiful with counter-economics. By withdrawing your support, stop feeding the beast, start acting economically and freedom, you bring about the market institutions we will need and must rely on when the state fails.” Dr. Per Bylund

Meet your Gaggle of hosts! Learn about this group of Agorist thinkers, how they got here, and the problems they most want to see solved in the world. We talk about: Health and healthy living, freedom, food freedom, community, philosophy, farming, law, criminal justice, cryptocurrency and more.
Unloose the Goose is a podcast that was founded to bring great minds together to solve big problems that face our societies today. We aim to talk about what CAN BE without being fettered by what currently is so that viable solutions can be found that do not rely on the bad foundations of what has been tried — and failed.
Jack Spirko of The Survival Podcast provides the overview.
It all started with a challenge from Curtis Stone – How would we build our world today if we started with a blank slate?
He invited many people to answer and one of them was Jack Spirko. Here is Jack’s Response.
And from this came the idea for Unloose the Goose – a meeting of the minds and hearts of a gaggle of hosts who want to see the evolution of a better world. One where the individual is empowered to live life to its fullest – whatever that means to each person.
