Svetski Wake Up Podcast
120 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 1 year ago - ★★★★★ - 1 ratingThe world is largely asleep.
We're living in a time where our freedoms are slowly being encroached upon, but because we're addicted to mediocre bullshit, we ignore it.
Our money no longer represents our work, time or effort, the freedom to speak out is obstructed under the guise of "diversity, inclusion and safety", privacy is no longer respected and surveillance has become mainstream "for our protection".
Wake up is dedicated to helping ensure V for Vendetta and 1984 remain works of fiction.
Topics will include Bitcoin, Money, Freedom, Philosophy, Psychology, Science, Ethics & more

Ep 15: Tyranny is the deliberate removal of nuance.
July 29, 2020 16:00 - 10 minutes - 10.2 MBIn this video we see the dangers of group identity & the cancer that is collectivism. A group of people decide it’s perfectly ok to behave like Nazi’s, because they identify as a self-proclaimed righteous group of protestors (ie; BLM), and have placards that read “fuck off Nazi’s”. The greatest feat of the Nazi’s, Communists and any other collectivist & authoritarian group is to make YOU think you’re the villain, and to use double-speak like this to give themselves immunity from their acti...
Ep 14: Be Elite. FUCK AVERAGE!
July 28, 2020 18:00 - 15 minutes - 14.6 MBThere’s a strong trend of anti-elitism growing in the world, and whilst I understand where it comes from, because it’s been poorly defined, it’s totally misguided. In fact, by not defining the damn thing properly, we group truly honourable & inspirational people up with the parasites. This lack of properly defining things is the source of many problems - but I’ll get to that in another video. I wrote an article about this which you can read about here: https://medium.com/the-capital/in-s...
Ep 13: The ultimate vote is Economic. NOT Democratic.
July 27, 2020 18:00 - 7 minutes - 7.48 MBPeople always refer to the morality of “democracy”, and it being the mechanism of rule that's the fairest & most just - but it’s just NOT true. Democracy will always devolve into authoritarianism because it’s just another form of collectivism requiring you to give up your personal agency to an external authority. A truly FREE society is one where economics rules, and the ability to cast your vote live at all times is the only way we can have a truly open, functional, liberty-centric societ...
Ep 12: Leftists aren't bad people. They're just stupid
July 26, 2020 18:00 - 11 minutes - 10.7 MBA lot of the things they want are actually “nice things”. The problem is they don’t think critically, nor deeply, and their ideas actually result in the opposite of what they want. So it’s not that they’re necessarily bad people - they’re just naive, lazy, and generally stupid. They don’t think in terms of consequence, nor in terms of nuance. They just think at the surface level & in black in white. They therefore cause more problems & proceed to blame it on everyone else. This is my s...
Episode 11: Life is Dynamic. Not Static.
July 25, 2020 18:00 - 21 minutes - 20.2 MBAll complex systems, all living systems and life by its very definition is something that moves, and is dynamic. There are inequalities everywhere, there is compounding and power laws, there are self-reinforcing spirals & death spirals. These are all normal aspects of living systems and when allowed to operate, they do so in a dynamic equilibrium. This is direct contrast to the morons running around taking about the “The 1%”. Whilst I agree there are UNFAIR inequalities, this is only becau...
Ep 10: Entrepreneurs VS Economists
July 24, 2020 13:00 - 23 minutes - 21.9 MBMost modern economists (ie; professional sophists) unfortunately don’t understand entrepreneurs, have never run a business, nor been in a position of significant responsibility in a business and therefore have the unfortunate audacity to perpetuate the moronic concept that businesses, business owners & capitalist merely exist to “take advantage of their customers”. This is incredibly naive, short sighted and reinforces why modern economics is completely OUT OF TOUCH with reality. Entrepren...
Ep 9: MMT = MORON Monetary Theorists
July 23, 2020 12:10 - 22 minutes - 20.9 MBThis episode was inspired by a Tinder debate...of all things. What I thought was going to be an interesting discussion, evolved into a debate with someone who believes that “free markets” have somehow been disproven, that money is an illusion, and that the core problem with the world is lack of regulation with respect to large corporates who exist to rape & pilliage society and it’s people. When confronted with ideas like the cantillon effect; the only response she could muster was: “it’s ...
Ep 8: "Crypto's" are a SCAM
July 21, 2020 11:00 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MBThe word “Crypto” has been co-opted, and it now refers to something which is a fantasy at best, and a scam at worst. The Crypto's you see floating around everywhere are not an answer to anything. They're a distraction at best, and at worst a bigger scam than the existing, legacy financial system; because they're perpetuated by entitled morons who think “they’re the right people to make the right choices” just because they can write some code.. They’re no different to the politicians and ba...
Ep 7: Hypocrisy & Hong Kong
July 20, 2020 09:59 - 31 minutes - 29.5 MBIt’s July 1st and the start to the second half of what’s been a shitshow of a year. In this episode I touch on the continued madness, and what’s likely the nail in the coffin for Hong Kong. To see these peaceful, intelligent and innocent group of people subjugated by a murderous, authoritarian dictatorship like the CCP truly saddens me. Furthermore, to not hear a PEEP from any of these “woke SJWs” who’ve been making a fuss about non-issues like racism over the past few weeks, simply r...
Ep 6: Peterson > Taleb. Any Day
July 18, 2020 21:00 - 14 minutes - 13.5 MBI had a debate with my brother over a year ago now, about Taleb VS Peterson. His conjecture was that Peterson’s work is just religious shit, whilst Taleb is a genius trader → and that’s all that apparently matters. This triggered some thinking on my part, but it didn’t come up again until recently, over the course of the CoronaScam, where I’ve seen him throw out many of his purporter values. This was further reinforced by his recent behaviour & comments about Bitcoiners too. Now don’t ge...
Ep 5: Staying Hungry.
July 17, 2020 10:34 - 23 minutes - 21.9 MBDifferent approach on this episode, and talk about the importance of staying hungry and how that requires a world that is dynamic. There is NO such thing as a fixed status. This was inspired by Arnold. He reminds us to stay hungry, but the presupposition here is that you had to become Hungry. To truly be hungry you need to know what it’s like to have nothing. To be a have not. To be rock bottom. Let’s look at one of the most important dynamics in Life: Being at the top VS B...
Ep 4: Equality breeds Conformity
July 16, 2020 18:58 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MB**Disclaimer** I'm still working on the flow & quality, so bear with me. Subsequent videos are getting better. Equality is the WORST outcome for society, unless you want to create a one full of drones, who all think the same (ie; USSR, CCP, Nth Korea). The very definition of “different”, or “original thinking” is the antithesis of conformity. If we force individuals to conform, for some short sighted notion of equality, we literally destroy the very essence of what makes life special....
Ep 3. Diversity & Discrimination (Part 2)
July 15, 2020 13:03 - 20 minutes - 18.8 MBRecorded when this new stupid legislation came out enforces non-discrimination in the work place based on sexual orientation, extending from race, nationality and whatever else they have in there. Soon enough it will extend to IQ, intellect, and every other “minority” complaint so as a business you’ll no longer have ANY choice as to who to hire, because you’ll get sued for any number of reasons. So much for freedom of speech and the right to choose. I literally just recorded on this the o...
Ep 2. Discrimination & Diversity (I support both)
July 13, 2020 14:35 - 23 minutes - 22.1 MB**Disclaimer** This is my first episode since I dissected that Dan Tapiero & Raoul Pal video (yeah, I’ve been busy). It’s rough, but I hope you enjoy the content and can bear with me as I churn these suckers out. I promise they will improve, so thanks for listening and remember to subscribe, etc. ___________________________ Discrimination & Diversity There is a major level of cognitive dissonance going on with people (especially leftists & collectivists) who are ‘against' discriminatio...
#1: Dissecting Bitcoin , Gold, and The Future of Macro Investing (w/ Dan Tapiero)
September 23, 2019 08:33 - 2 hours - 114 MBHere we go... Aleks Svetski here (yep, founder At Amber.app). For episode #1 of Wake Up, I'm sharing my take on the real vision interview between Raoul Pal and leading macro-economist Dan Tapiero. I'll be dissecting and reinterpreting the conversation to help people better understand the nature, benefits and philosophy of Bitcoin, whilst attempting to explain the nuances a little deeper.
