Welcome to the The Confab, the term derives from "confidential talk", which was commonly used in the Prohibition Era for meetings and conversations that took place in the smoky, rule-breaking speakeasies of that time.

The informal, privacy focused and clandestine nature of Ungovernable Misfits lends itself to these discussions.  So, grab a seat and a stiff drink from the concealed bar, listen and revel in the conversation.

Welcome to the The Confab, the term derives from "confidential talk", which was commonly used in the Prohibition Era for meetings and conversations that took place in the smoky, rule-breaking speakeasies of that time.

The informal, privacy focused and clandestine nature of Ungovernable Misfits lends itself to these discussions.  So, grab a seat and a stiff drink from the concealed bar, listen and revel in the conversation.

On this episode, the inaugural guest, Kerim, makes a home visit to speak with Max.

Show Discussion

If you're here solely for Bitcoin content, you might want to skip this one, as we delve into a myriad of topics ranging from lost worlds, drug use, history, angels, demons, and gods. The audio quality isn't the best, as it was recorded in my kitchen with only one shared mic, but I hope it's still enjoyable.

We begin with a discussion on the nature of reality and imagination, exploring how they intertwine and influence each other. Kerim shares his experiences with psychedelics, particularly ketamine, and how these have led to profound insights and encounters with entities. We delve into the concept of shared visions and telepathy, questioning the boundaries of perception and consciousness.

The conversation takes a turn towards ancient history and mythology, as Kerim discusses the Hermetic principles and their impact on his understanding of the world. We explore the idea of ancient civilizations, lost continents like Lemuria and Mu, and the potential existence of advanced technologies in the past.

Kerim shares a personal story from a festival where he believes he encountered entities through other people, leading to a deep existential crisis and a reevaluation of reality. We discuss the nature of good and evil, the influence of secret societies, and the potential for magic and spells in the modern world.

Throughout the episode, we touch on various conspiracy theories, the influence of ancient aliens, and the cyclical nature of human consciousness. It's a wild ride of a conversation, blending personal anecdotes with speculative theories, all while questioning the very fabric of our reality.

In this unique and unexpected episode, the ghost of Charlie Munger reaches out to share his reflections on life and his newfound appreciation for Bitcoin. Charlie admits to having dismissed significant opportunities due to cognitive biases and acknowledges his past misconceptions about Bitcoin, which he once deemed a "scumball activity." He now recognizes Bitcoin as a vital tool for freedom and privacy.

Charlie extends his gratitude to Bitcoin Q&A and Max BitBuyBit for their educational content, which has enlightened him about the importance of open-source tools over mere price predictions and political cheerleading. He shares his excitement about setting up a Foundation Devices Passport and using Sparrow Wallet to make his first Bitcoin transaction.

In a surprising turn, Charlie announces his intention to support the podcast financially, enabling more frequent biweekly episodes instead of the current monthly schedule. He expresses his eagerness for more news, software updates, and unbiased reporting from the Ungovernable Misfits team.

Charlie concludes with a heartfelt apology for his previous harsh words about Bitcoin and a promise to continue supporting the podcast, even hinting at sending boosts on Fountain. This episode is a testament to the transformative power of education and open-mindedness, as well as a celebration of the podcast's impact on its listeners.
