Summary

What if 100 million years of human labor were stolen in a single policy decision β€” and almost no one noticed? In this conversation, Robert Breedlove joins Deepak Sharma β€” entrepreneur, media founder, and host of the It's Not That Deep podcast β€” for a wide-ranging exploration of money, freedom, and the hidden architecture of human behavior. The conversation moves from the nature of money as pure optionality and the language of human action, to the mechanics of fractional reserve banking as legalized fraud, to the staggering math behind how the Covid-era money printing effectively stole 2 million lifetimes of productive labor from savers. Robert and Deepak also go deep on the psychology of scarcity and abundance, manifestation and meditation as tools for reprogramming behavior, the male drive to create and compete, and why the human superpower of programmability is either your greatest weapon or your greatest vulnerability. This conversation explores the deeper forces shaping human behavior, institutions, and the future of civilization.

There was this Super Bowl commercial at one point and he was like, I'm Jill Biden, I love ice cream.

0:04.6

He's eating the ice cream cone and then he's like, you know, the prices of ice cream have gone up too much. And these ice cream producers, I'm going to tell them they can't do that because Joe likes ice cream and, you know, they don't need to be so greedy. Here we are in 2024, whatever the year was. Living in the information age. And there is this senile old child sniffing guy on TV eating an ice cream cone.

Politician, by the living in the information age. And there is this senile old child sniffing guy on TV, eating an

0:23.0

ice cream cone. Politician, by the way, this guy produces nothing telling everyone that he is going to

0:28.5

shame or, I don't know, legislate the greedy ice cream producers to not increase their prices.

0:34.0

Does anyone actually believe that? There's a bunch of greedy ice cream producers sitting around, like, oh, we're just going to just squeeze them on the ice cream. I was like, no, like, how do we never talk about the money printing? The fact that a politician who won a popularity contest can go on the Super Bowl and make an ad like that, and they're not chopping off his head the next day. It's like people really don't understand what's going at all. So this was during COVID when the US printed six trillion dollars.

0:59.0

So we're talking about like a 30 to 40% increase of the total US dollar money supply.

1:03.0

So you take this number, right, six trillion, that's a six followed by 12 zeros.

1:09.0

And then you look at the average annual wage in the United States, which at that time was around $60,000.

1:16.4

So that's a six followed by four zeros.

1:18.7

You take 12 zeros minus four zeros and you get a one followed by eight zeros and you get 100 million.

1:25.5

That is the number of years worth of productive labor stolen

1:30.2

through the counterfeiting of 6 trillion US dollars this is a watered down like less visible form of

2:01.3

brother. Well, that's way too nice of you. I want to kind of start off by asking, do you the

2:08.9

question that I feel like you've been pondering, you've been asking, I want to hear your take on it,

2:13.5

what is money? Yeah, that is definitely like the question I'm always asked first.

2:20.6

And I do feel I was telling you guys offline, like, I feel super fortunate to have stumbled

2:26.2

upon that question when I did.
