The truth is you likely are not going to fully exit the system or more accurately systems.  For all the evils of the systems of control and power there is also good.  The key is to not be dependent upon them for you needs and rather use them at your discretion for your wants.  The problem is that it is very easy to become convinced that you are in control when in fact you are not.  Then much like the addict who thinks they can quit at anytime the reality only kicks in when the supply is cut off.

The key is to narrow down your needs and what the system provides to an overlap, in other words a ven diagram of sorts.  What do you need to go on living any decent quality of life.  Next what do you not necessarily need to stay alive but you really do require so that you can adapt to a changing world.  Information is the one that most easily is explained in this area.   Sure turn off all media an you will likely live a longer and happier life.  Yet you will miss opportunities to capitalize on trends, you may miss information that would warn you of a threat, say a storm or a fire, etc.

So we don’t “need” media but some form or information is definitely required to make sure we are prepared for what comes our way.  We may not need classical education to keep breathing.  Our cave man ancestors could barely write other than a few pictograms and likely lived as long as most modern humans.  Yet education is critical to developing into the best human you can be in our modern age.

Hence when we look at things that way we can narrow down to a list of key critical areas that are either absolutely necessary to our survival (say food and water) and things that are critical to our ability to thrive (say medicine and information beyond our back yard).  Once we do that we can follow a simple plan…

  1. Make as much of our needs and critical to thrive areas as self sufficient as possible (measured in percentage)
  2. Create redundancy for those needs and critical components that we can’t be self sufficient in (measured in time, self reliance)
  3. Be honest with ourselves about where we are still most vulnerable to systemic dependence
  4. Build up financial redundancy for the short fall of both needs and critical to thrive areas
  5. Partake at our discretion for our wants that they systems make easy to acquire

 

Now some scoff at this or see it as being some sort of parasite on the system.  The old “libertarians complain about taxes but still use the roads” arguments and such. However, the formula I just gave you is nothing more than a slightly more advanced and faster form of get this, “retirement”.  Yep the very dream sold to the population to keep them slaving away inside the system until 90% of their high quality life force is consumed.  The dream sold in countless commercials on the TV by Edward Jones, Charles Schwab, American Express, Amerprise and countless others.

I am simply suggesting that by following the course laid out for you today, you may hold hands with your loved one, roll up your pant legs and walk down that beach long before you only have “10 good years left”, at best.

In short, “Seize today, for we know nothing of tomorrow.”

The Key Pillars of Exiting the System

  1. The mental and emotional exit (the most difficult and most important)
  2. The financial exit
  3. The employment exit
  4. The education and information exit
  5. The physical exit
  6. The food system exit
  7. The water and sanitation exit
  8. The energy exit
  9. The health care exit
  10. The self and property protection exit

 

Very few people will ever get to a point in life where they can measure all this aspects with a grade of being 100% self sufficient.  So the goal is to push self sufficiency as high as possible in all areas, then push self reliance as long as possible in each area as well.  Then to over lap the areas we can most practically push like financial reserves to accommodate the areas most difficult to extend like say health care for serious injury or disease.

The person who goes though this exercise over and over in their lives and only succeed with an over all score of even 25 out of 100 will enjoy a life with about 100 times more physical, emotional, spiritual and time freedom than the average person.  More importantly it will be very difficult even at that low rate of success for society to control you or take way what you have.

10 Keys to Unlock the Chains of the Systemic Slavery – Epi-3067 — 14 Comments

  1. Hey Jack. You’re killing me. I know everything you are saying about school. I homeschooled my kids yet my daughter and her husband are choosing to put their kids in the indoctrination center. I have said and done everything I can do but they are there in the belly of the beast. He is a coach and you can not believe the level of commitment that he is expecting from the kids. Parents are secondary. Sports are primary. I do everything I can. Do you want to address this for us grandparents? Love your perspective.

    • Minh just did, all you can do is advise your adult children and support them and be ready if they change.

      You raise your kids, your kids raise their own and like it or not they decide what grandparents get to do along the way.

  2. Hey Jack, in 15 years, if they still have social security and you will receive 2 grand a month, will you take it ?

    • Since the fuckers steal about 14 grand a year from me in SSI plus my own match to it, you bet your fuckin ass I will.

      If someone robbed you of 300K and the police managed to get your “restitution” in a fractional amount a year for the rest of your life and that was the best you could do, would you “take it”?

      I will never get back what they have stolen and it is times 20 with lost opportunity costs. I will never even consider the ethics of “taking” government money (tax payer money) until such time that I am made whole and I expect to die deeply in deficit.

  3. There is no correlation between the number of drugs prescribed by a doctor and payments they receive based on the billing criteria used by Medicare/Medicaid which have been adopted by essentially the private insurances. Here is the billing criteria for common office visit (https://www.ama-assn.org/system/files/2019-06/cpt-revised-mdm-grid.pdf)

    The only criteria that could be said to be effected by a doctors prescribing decision is “prescription management.” However, even stopping medications is prescription management(https://www.timeofcare.com/prescription-drug-management-meaning/).

  4. Dr Barry confirmed that you don’t have to prescribe more medications to increase you billing at 22:58 when he said “…or at least change a medication.” The AAFP is an organization trying to help doctors get paid, and they list the criteria for medical decision making (https://www.aafp.org/fpm/2021/0100/hi-res/fpm20210100p27-ut1.gif) which allows them to bill. Internal medicine doctors, and family doctors prescribe some of the most medications, because they manage a wider range of health conditions and are not the best paid (https://www.statista.com/statistics/250160/median-compensation-earned-by-us-physicians-by-specialty/)

    • I may have phrased it poorly but how many meds do you think you are on when you have multiple chronic diagnosis? Seriously and what happens when you get to bill more every time there is a managed side effect or you simply change a med. I will correct the way I explained this Friday however, if you are saying you don’t get paid more to prescribe more meds after seeing this you either don’t want to understand it, or you fail to understand it.

  5. Not saying that people don’t end up on (too) many medications, and I agree that the incentives are far from optimal, but aren’t strictly designed to make doctors prescribe more medication, though it an unintended effect of it, since governments also need some appearance of cost containment. Would you agree on this?

    • If you don’t think that system was designed specifically to increase the amount of prescribed drugs you are beyond all help. Who exactly do you think wrote that policy in the first place? Let me guess you work in the industry, right?

      • On the outback with Jack episode 3071 @ 56:00 you say that I wrote “it kind of one of the best systems we have.” That is not true! Which sentence above do I say that in? My conclusion was “the incentives are far from optimal, but aren’t strictly designed to make doctors prescribe more medication.” Yes, I am in the system, and there are ways around prescribing more medication and still billing higher levels because I do it every week.

  6. Preface. I am a public high school English teacher. I’m blessed to be able to write my own curriculum and teach the way I want to teach. I LOVE my job. I love educating kids. I love being a positive male role model in a low socio-economic area with a high number of absentee (literally or might as well be) fathers.

    And as long as people are depend on the public school system, and as long as I maintain the freedom to teach the way I want, I want to keep teaching.

    All that being said, I will unabashedly tell anyone who will listen and has the means, homeschool your children. My children will be homeschooled.

    If every teacher was like me, I’d feel differently. But, the VAST majority of teachers are not like me. And sometimes they don’t have an option because their school or district enforces stupid shit. But whether or not it is the teacher’s fault is irrelevant. The majority of the public education system is horrible.

    Homeschool your children!
