What if inflation is “mass time theft,” money is a rigged game, and Bitcoin 

This episode sets the foundation for the entire series by examining:

- Why “time is the only truly finite resource”

This 12-episode series is what Knut calls a “philosophical demolition” of what you think you know about money, freedom, and human society.

We unpack why prices don’t fall even though we keep getting better at producing everything, how fiat money silently enslaves you through taxes and inflation, and why we’re all working for a type of money that other people can print at will. Knut explains “time preference,” delayed gratification, the marshmallow test, and why civilization itself is built on tools that save someone time somewhere.

From supermarkets full of cheap junk to smartphones that would’ve been a secret agent’s dream 20 years ago, this conversation connects real‑world examples to deep economic and philosophical ideas. We dive into Everything Divided by 21 Million, why Bitcoin is the best representation of human time we’ve ever had, and how a fixed 21M cap changes how we measure value, risk, and human potential.

If you’ve ever felt the system is stacked against you but couldn’t quite explain why, this episode will give you the language, the math, and the mental models to see the game clearly—and opt out.
