In this special episode, I explain why we’re re-hosting the Unbounded archive at Ungovernable Misfits and end  the series with a forward-looking conversation with Colonial, author of Sovereignty Requires Privacy: Lessons from the Fall of Samourai Wallet.

Tbd and Colonial explore sovereignty as territorial control—physical and digital—and why exposure is the enemy in a world where information is the battlefield. Colonial unpacks how privacy tools challenge the geopolitical order, why martyrs lose, and why the next era belongs to disciplined, anonymous builders who move with intention. They walk through practical lessons from the Samourai saga, from the limits of playing by “their” rules to a new code for anon warfare, and close with actionable steps listeners can take now, including adopting Ashigaru’s Whirlpool implementation and strengthening operational discretion. This one is about clarity over nostalgia: either you control your territory, or someone else will.

Resources mentioned: Colonial’s writings at sovereigncolony.com; Ashigaru Wallet and Terminal (ashigaru.rs) for Whirlpool; reading on territoriality (Robert Ardrey’s The Territorial Imperative) and philosophical frames (Nietzsche, Evola).
