  • ₿HS016: Odell Opens the Door for Bitcoin Homeschoolers
    SHOW TOPIC:

    Today, with Matt Odell’s permission, we’re re-publishing Citadel Dispatch 84.  Matt gave us the opportunity to join him on his podcast exactly one year ago.  That really opened up our minds to what was possible and, consequently, we did more than we ever thought was possible.  Now we’re more inspired than ever to give back to others, e.g., more podcasts with “Bitcoin Homeschoolers” and “Orange Hatter”; more bitcoin games, more in-person events, etc.

    IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:
    • Breaking one’s podcast virginity
    • Why should we care about homeschooling?  Why is it important?
    • Let the child lead.  Don’t hold their education back.
    • Let kids move around when they study.
    • Using grades can make kids feel labelled.
    • Let children have freedom to make mistakes and learn.  School systems teach kids to be afraid of making mistakes instead of embracing them.
    • Almost all of our pain points in society go back to education.
    • Instead of getting kids to an average level in every subject, let them pick an area to go deep with and excel in.
    • You do not need a teaching degree to homeschool.
    • Homeschooled kids are more comfortable with social interactions, not less.
    • Teaching self-discipline is a critical life skill.
    • Taking responsibility, how to handle difficult times, and other frameworks are things you, as a parent, choose to teach.
    • Biggest hurdles for young parents that want to homeschool
    • You can outsource teaching almost any subject
    • Homeschooling is 365.  Take care of yourself first.
    • You don’t have to be perfect.  
    • Homeschooling is taking self-custody of your (kids’) education. 
    • Spending time with your kids shows them they matter to you.
    • Separation of government and education 
    • Parents have the strongest incentive alignment possible with their children
    • Homeschooling kids are taught to think for yourself versus the conformity-driven woke agendas in state schools
    • Kids pick up things that not formally taught to them
    • At some point you have to trust your kids to make decisions on their own when you’re not there.  You have to let go.
    • Don’t be afraid.  There are so many resources.

  • ₿HS015: From Fear to Confidence – Lessons from 2023
    SHOW TOPIC:

    It’s been one year since Tali and Scott formally finished homeschooling their kids and left the corporate world.  They focus on giving back to homeschoolers, women Bitcoiners, and veterans. Tali and Scott use the week between Christmas and New Years to reflect on the prior year and goals for 2024. 

    IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:
    • Tali’s surprise note to herself
    • Last December is when everything really started with this journey.  They finished formal homeschooling and a corporate at the same time.
    • Until visiting Bitcoin Park, they had felt like they were on an island in terms of meeting and talking with Bitcoiners.
    • That is where they first played Hodl Up with Bitcoiners and not just their family and friends.
    • One aspect that changed is going from the stepping-off moment when they committed and today, when they have more confidence.
    • It’s one thing to understand what Jeff Booth has articulated about not working in the system you’re fighting.  It’s another to apply that understanding and take action.  It can be a scary prospect. 
    • The game Hodl Up helped open opportunities to meet people but Tali and Scott learned throughout the year that this is actually part of something that was much bigger than themselves.
    • It is so important to get out and meet people in person.
    • If you have something to give, then give back.  For Tali and Scott, this is with homeschoolers, women Bitcoiners and veterans.
    • Hodl Up has proven to be an effective bridge builder with pre-coiners.
    • The whole journey of 2023 stemmed from an understanding that Tali and Scott are trying to bring awareness of Bitcoin to new people.
    • We need to put ourselves in the shoes of others to understand how they perceive the world in order to reach them with messages about Bitcoin, sound money, etc.
    • People won’t pivot until they personally have a need or they personally  see the impacts of the fiat system.
    • Tali started OrangeHatter podcast because she saw a gap where women were not necessarily being spoken to in a feminine way.
    • Create touch points.  Meet people where they are.
    • With purpose comes fulfillment.  Working on something bigger than themselves has made the past year so rewarding for Tali and Scott.
    • For Bitcoin adoption to continue, we have to reach women and specifically moms.  
    • Brainstorming ways to connect in 2024

  • ₿HS014: Clair and Daniel Prince Share World-Schooling-Bitcoiner Lessons
    SHOW TOPIC:

    Clair and Daniel Prince bring the proof-of-work.  Homeschooling while you’re traveling the world takes commitment and courage.  In this episode they share their perspectives on un-programming ourselves as parents, teaching values to children, the importance of critical thinking skills, regulatory creep in Europe, and developing deep and bonding relationships with your family.

    IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:
    • Clair and Daniel started their journey on world schooling in 2014.
    • Originally reason had nothing to do with education.  It started because they wanted to exit the corporate rat race.
    • Self-directed education includes world schooling, unschooling, homeschooling, self-led learning.
    • Benefits have included spending time with their children, seeing how they learn differently from one another, and so much more.
    • When Daniel first left his fiat job, he and Clair had to work out the balance.  They had different methods of discipline, different approaches to teaching, different expectations of learning, different levels of patience, etc.
    • It’s important to understand you have to do a lot of de-schooling and un-programming of your own.
    • Socialization fears with alternative education are not just wrong.  The reality is homeschooled kids are demonstrably better interacting with people of all ages, including adults.
    • Transition time between activities and events is critical
    • You can learn skills later in life, but you can’t go back and create time with your kids.  You’re building lifelong relationships.
    • One of the biggest rewards is teaching your kids to think critically
    • How to have conversations with older children about the decision to go to university or not
    • The word “drop out” is a psy op
    • Western European countries are making it harder for parents to homeschool since covid
    • World schooling is still a cheaper way to live than staying in one place
    • Clair and Daniel are still judged today on their original decision to world school versus looking at the results, e.g., being bilingual
    • World schooling takes work, but it’s worth it

  • ₿HS013: AI and Homeschooling
    SHOW TOPIC:

    It’s mission critical for Bitcoin homeschoolers to overcome the fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) about artificial intelligence (AI).  Tali and Scott kick off this series with the “why” about this powerful type of tool.  The decision parents must make is whether to learn about AI and be the master of the new technology or be the victim who fears it.

    IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:
    • Many examples of AI FUD.
    • AI needs to be part of your homeschooling curriculum.
    • Parents need to understand what AI is and help their kids with a framework for it.
    • It is a tool.  Like all tools, it can be used for good for evil.
    • It is normal for people to fear new technologies, e.g., electricity or cars.
    • Not using AI does not protect you from it.  
    • The decision parents have to make is whether to learn about AI and be the master of the new technology or be the victim who fears it.
    • AI is not actually intelligent. 
    • The phrase “artificial intelligence” was first coined in the 1950’s.
    • The potential of AI as a tool to enhance learning is mind-blowing, e.g., learning how to play chess now versus 30 years ago.
    • With the acceleration of technology, there’s actually a decentralization impact on AI.
    • This is a call to action to homeschooling parents to go deeper, to figure out how to incorporate AI into your curriculum.
    • Just pick one area, one AI tool and go try it out
    • Narrow AI versus general AI
    • Yes, AI can lead to loss of jobs.  However, it also leads to new jobs.  Those who learn AI tools will remain in high demand by companies.
    • Controlling societies like China can use AI in scary totalitarian ways.  This is reinforces why we need to understand and teach how AI really works and remain vigilant in protecting our freedoms.
    • Spirit of Satoshi is based on libertarian ideas, Austrian economics and Bitcoin resources.

  • ₿HS012: Teaching The Art of Learning
    SHOW TOPIC:

    Josh Waitzkin brings the proof-of-work when it comes to deep learning and flow.  His techniques about learning to learn can be applied anything.  In this episode, Tali and Scott apply them to homeschooling.

    IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:
    • Why “life history” resources, namely biographies and autobiographies, make such great learning tools
    • Josh Waitzkin, the author of “The Art of Learning” describes concepts that can make us as parents better teachers
    • The techniques he describes can be used by anyone, any age
    • Because humans relate to things emotionally, reading a living book is the best to get kids interested 
    • Waitzkin strategically thinks about the long term goal (although he does not use the word’s “low time preference”)
    • Waitzkin epitomizes anit-fragile
    • He also goes into great depth about reaching “flow”
    • Immediate feedback is key to flow and key to learning
    • These learning lessons can be applied to anything
    • You can never out success the strength of your character
    • Waitzkin is a master of seeing the world from his opponents’ point of view
    • Constant feedback = adaptive learning
    • Being able to stay in flow when bad things happen is more than understanding your opponents, you really have to understand yourself
    • “Staying soft” emphasizes the importance of finding a state of relaxed concentration, where one can perform at their best in the face of stress
    • “Investing in loss” = seeking out learning from all setbacks and other forms of feedback
    • Teachers, like coaches, need to understand the natural inclinations of their students
    • Balance of encouragement and correction is a fine line to walk
    • Importance of always keeping a beginner’s mind
    • That sense of anti-fragility cannot happen if kids are always winning and not dealing with adversity (back to investment in loss)
    • Visualization is powerful skill to teach kids
    • Another ant-fragile habit to teach kids is to keep a learning journal
    • Don’t trust.  Verify.  Listen to the audible book and pick just one thing that helps you and/or your kids.
    • Effort trumps talent:  Tali challenges the cultural tendency to focus on talent and/or lack of talent, e.g., message to oneself “I’m not good at math”
    • Waitzkin goes deep on everything he does
    • You can use leverage technology to get all types of feedback
    • Train kids to be able to focus in the middle of chaos because conditions are never going to be perfect
    • Face your losses.  Don’t shy away from them.
    • To succeed fast, fail faster
    • Use living books.  Have discussions about them with your kids.

    • They have virtual profiles on Haskel Academy but their main focus is on in-person interactions
    • Many co-ops are religiously-oriented which can make the challenge of finding teachers more challenging for people of different faiths

    • “Edupreneur” …  someone who creates a business or organization that helps educate
    • Easy to say but hard to do … It takes passion to put in the work to start up a new organization or movement
    • The concept of Haskell Academy is it's a place where teachers, co ops, micro schools, clubs, sports teams, anyone serving those out of the traditional school system market. can go online and create a free profile
