Okay, hey everybody. Welcome to the What Is Money Show. I am thrilled and honored today to be sitting down with a very special individual.

Mr. James Davidson, who is the co-author of a book that I have been repping for a long time now,

The Sovereign Individual.

James, it's great to have you here. Welcome to the show.

Thank you, Robert.

My pleasure. So we recently did uh an appearance together on real vision um talking about this book as well but i'm hoping to go into a few topics today that

i'm in particular interested in in your book um and as i was just saying to you offline, I think it's very important.

You know, we're recording this March 1, 2022.

The writing is on the wall, so to speak, about the dissolution of the nation state.

And your book, written in in 1997 or at least published 1997

just had unbelievable prescience about everything we're going through today

there's just a few highlights for the audience you know you guys basically predicted

social media back in 1997.

I think you called it narrowcasting versus broadcasting in the book.

You predicted the emergence of anonymous digital cybercash,

which today we call crypto or Bitcoin.

And you also, there's several other predictions in there,

but another one that stood out to me was that when the nation state started to see the existential threat, digital technology and encryption posed, that it would ultimately resort to some sort of global pandemic to try and reinforce the validity of their borders and, you know,

just establish control of the population.

So, you know, there's three insights.

There's many more packed in the book.

But I highly encourage everyone to go out and read it.
