Hello, everyone. I am so glad to be back here with you today. I'm Dr. Chris Martinson, CEO of Peak Prosperity.

Listen, I do two things in the world, all stemming from this one other thing, which is my brain never shuts off.

I am an information scout. I go out. I find things. And then what I do is I frame them and bring them back to people so that, hey, so you can understand them and make sense of them. This is a really important episode. Of course, they're all important episodes. But this time, I'm going to do something that may change how you see the world. And if I can do this successfully, then you will have the ability to see things in a way that others don't. And you'll have a sense of what's coming in the future.

So let's go there.

This is about energy and in particular what I want to do with everybody today is we're going

to put on our energy goggles.

Okay.

Once you see things this way, you put on your energy goggles and you see the role of energy

in everything in your life, in your standard of living, in your hopes,

your dreams, what's possible in the future, how much you can accomplish, the vacations you can take,

everything. Once you see it, well, it's a little bit like being Neo in the Matrix when you can

finally see the Matrix for what it is. And once he can see the Matrix, once he put his

matrix goggles on, he was able to control his environment. see the matrix for what it is. And once he can see the matrix, once he put his matrix

goggles on, he was able to control his environment and be like Superman. So I'm going to, I'm granting

you this superpower and it's really important. So what's it look like? Well, first up, we know from

this point in the crash course up to this stage that we have a financial system and by extension an economic model that's predicated on infinite exponential growth.

And what do we know about exponential growth? Well, you know, when things are growing exponentially,

they tend to speed up at the end. They get faster and faster, right? It's a nonlinear relationship. So you see those charts are like, whew, cruising up like that. We see here in this one, debt running away from income for the United States. And this isn't clearly unsustainable sort of a situation. And it's not a linear situation. Not like, well, it's a little bit worse this year than last year it is exponentially worse this year than last year it's going to be exponentially worse er in the future

and because of that it has the chance of breaking down very very rapidly at the end and so that's not

going to happen though all on its own humans will continue to want to have a free lunch.

Humans are going to continue to want to print. They're going to want to continue to kick the can down the road. They're going to continue to do everything they can except face the consequences of bad decisions in the past. And that's what the Federal Reserve is doing. That's what your congressmen are doing. Senators, all of it. The whole system is just basically like the three monkeys with all of their

sensory and communication vehicles closed up because they don't want to talk about this they
