Episode-2841- The Agorist View of Investing

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:35:21 — 21.8MB)

I recently had the good fortune to be on The Corbett Report to discuss investing as an agorist. This was a panel with fellow Goose Group member Sal the Agorist and a new friend I met named Tim Picciot. You can find that discussion here.

In any event the entire discussion was only about 45 minutes long with three guests so I though perhaps today we could expand on that discussion.

I think agorists and libertarians and anarchists in general can get tunnel vision when it comes to investing or just business in general. As though every action must be designed to defy the state. The agora itself is “the market” and hence an agorist listens to the market rather than reacts to things with emotion.

Join Me Today to Discuss…

I hate the state, but I don’t defy it just to defy it, I defy it when it serves me to do so
What is an investment?
- An action that can potentially increase value of a given commodity
- An action that can potentially serve to advance a cause
- Something that can be set into motion, otherwise it is just your personal labor in trade
What actions and items do I see as investments
- Property
- Tools
- Homestead Systems
- Trees and plants
- Education
- Skill sets
- Typical stocks, bonds, etc.
- Crypto Assets
- Charity
- A Business
- Stored food and or emergency goods
- Precious metals
- Original content or technology you create (evergreen products)
- Anything that continues to provide for you or creates future insurance after you do it
Why this all matters and how it fits into adapting to the so called “new normal”
Taking things to another level (function stacking investments)

Regular ACTION is really the key here, and why I enjoy listening to TSP.

Evaluate your situation, come up with an action you can take to make it better, then GET ON IT. Repeat.

On TAXED US Currency…this is something you’re DEPENDENT on as an American unless you have a VERY unusual living situation. And this is where you’re playing in ‘their’ sandbox.

So, REDUCE your need for it. Use IT to reduce your need for it (podcast has plenty of examples of how) & then STOCKPILE some of it. This is a self-reliance category…”I have x months of US Dollars”.

Yes, you can convert other categories of money into TAX visible US Currency (metals/crypto) but #winning! is often NOT HAVING TO DO SOMETHING at a particular time. HAVING to sell means having to take the ‘market price’, which is the WORST when things are going south.

One of the great things about prepping, is that it gives you mental space & TIME to devise & decide on the BEST action to take.

By getting ‘ahead’ of problems, you move from IMPORTANT-URGENT actions (adrenaline! more caffeine!) to the much better IMPORTANT-NOT URGENT (mosey thru the pasture and decide where to plant those new fruit trees).

Your brain does NOT work well on a steady diet of adrenaline. So maybe that’s a way to prioritize your actions…what’s causing those adrenaline spikes when you think about it?

Long…but talking about taking any little time/energy/resource you have to move SOMETHING out of the URGENT-IMPORTANT quadrant. Repeat until you feel a deep sense of calm and seem to have all the time in the world to pursue what you actually care about. =)
