Ungovernable Misfits Max BBB

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.

(00:04:15) It's Been a While

Diverter, how you doing, mate?
Hey, what's up, man? Doing good. How about yourself?

(00:05:30) The Great Malaise

Diverter and Max outline "The Great Malaise" in the bitcoin space.  Users have fallen out of touch with the core principles on which the software built. Privacy was always niche, but at least the space at large was somewhat adversarial to the institutions and systems that abuse individuals every day.

(00:09:17) The Pattern Has Fractured

How did it get like this? In Chapter 5, Diverter asserts it's due to a fractioning pattern of users. Those who would have typically fallen away after the last bust cycle decided to stay, polluting the public square that should have been more ethos driven for the next bull run.

(00:17:00) Then They Fight You...

Chapter 6 is about the phrase "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win", which is used all the time by those in Bitcoin. But, with this fractured environment it seems as if they don't actually know what that looks like anymore OR they think they've already won with El Salvador Adoption, ETF filings and the acceptance of Bitcoin TM.

(00:27:14) What Does The Fight ACTUALLY Look Like?

So what does the fight actually look like? In Chapter 7, we have a great example in Roman Sterlingov and Diverter's recent attendance at the Finney Forum cemented that belief. When you have someone that is being charged and convicted based on no qualified evidence that is what the fight looks like. The State doesn't have to play by the rules and in fact makes the rules. So how will you navigate a game in which you, on the surface, have no way of winning?

(00:32:28) Beware of the Zombies

When it comes to punishment, the big bad government, as inefficient as it is, can actually move quite quickly when it wants to and it has the help of it's citizenry in these situations. Chapter 8 explains that much like witch burning or the scamdemic, people often mobilize on behalf of the government whether it be due to policy or acting as the jury. It comes in flavors such as grift, compliance, greed etc. that overall muddy the waters of principled disobedience.

(00:42:26) Building Your Networks

Well that's all well and good. So you're telling me that it's all intellectually rotten, compliance and greed driven zombies that will sacrifice the purpose of bitcoin in the name of NGU and government acceptance? No! In Chapter 9 the focus is on building your ONLINE networks and your OFFLINE networks. By strengthening these two domains you can begin to affect the zeitgeist and protect yourself against the censorship and attacks that are to come.

(00:51:50) Pandora's Box Has Opened

A Pandora's Box has been opened on the potential for censorship in Bitcoin. In the past, the act of censoring transactions on the bitcoin blockchain was an untenable thought, but as Chapter 10 outlines, the roadmap for how to accomplish such things has been shared widely as o

Intro Music: Ungovernable Misfits – I Hate You



What’s the Meshtadel been up to?
The Meshtadel has been active, with developments including the launch of the SuperTestNet’s BitPac, which can be viewed on his Github. Fundamentals from the Rock Paper Bitcoin podcast discusses the Meshtadel on his pod and provides great value to both PMM and Meshtadel groups. Conversations are ongoing about industrial farming versus regenerative agriculture in the Pleb Miner Mafia chat. We compare and contrast Meshtadel related content on Stacker News and publications on Ungovernable Misfits. We like to think Stacker News provides great utility, but on UngovernableMisfits.com our stories are presented with superior aesthetics. Barnminer consults on mining with another Meshtadelian and Travis Bitckle creatively repurposes a T17 server housing into a birdhouse, which puts a little birdhouse, in our souls.



Parent-led Motivation Mentorship
Jon discusses he and Sarah’s experiences with homeschooling during COVID-era madness. Our strategy for navigating the public school system involves coaching, volunteering, and knowing the teachers and administrators. Max discusses his optimal school experience and what decisions will be made for his children’s education. We also explored Waldorf Schools, Montessori, Hillsdale Affiliate Schools, and homeschooling options, including various homeschool curriculums. Resources to enrich children's learning experiences include bookishadventure.com, which provides material and activities related to books. Max and Jon chat about passing along wisdom and encouraging kids to lean into their aptitudes. We discuss apprenticeships, craft guilds, and the view that school primarily teaches obedience, homeschooling on a homestead, and the unique needs of gifted children.

Palantirs, Middle Earth, and Mordor
They Brought the War to your Living Room by Charles-François-Bienvenu Myriel



Good stories are timeless in nature and reveal universal truths. Fiction, through narratives like "Lord of the Rings," offers insights that remain relevant for all time, illustrating choices faced when confronting pure f*****g evil. Charles Myriel points this out in Frodo and Gandalf's discussion in the Mines of Moria. The saying "Ignorance is Bliss" applies here, as facing harmful control involves risks and conflicts, especially against authorities and their enforcers who claim to be "just doing their job." The repercussions of challenging societal norms can include job loss due to vaccine mandates and being ostracized from the rest of society. Similarly, the common folk's defiance of government actions mirrors Frodo's quest, demonstrating how individuals can triumph over formidable global forces. Max is Legolas and Jon is Gimli, what LOTR character are you?

 What does this episode’s P.M.M. stand for?
 Purebred Managed Mooing Professional Maple-syrup Manufacturing P2P Mesh Messaging Psychological Mouse Metropolis Positive Masculinity Mindset Positive Meaningful Motivation


On one hand we have “HATE” tattooed on our knuckles, a clenched fist ready to strike back against globalist slavery. One the other fist “LOVE”, a fist that opens and a hand that extends to yours in peace and cooperation. And then there are those that simply want to rock, with “OZZY” tattooed on both knuckles.



I this episode of P.M.M. we review recent developments within the Meshtadel. Meshtadelians are experimenting with SuperTestNet’s bitpac, musing over creating repositories, and NOSTR relays with the funds.



Long time Meshtadelian Untapped Growth stopped by to explain his herdshares program and update the group on his citadel operations in Oklahoma. He spoke about Collaborative, Cooperative, and Communal relationship models and the middle ground between communal communities and those that are a loose collective of rugged individualists. He shared his strategy in breeding the perfect regenerative agriculture cattle and shared why it would be advantageous for people to purchase his herdshares.



Jon shared the story of his first cow, “Cow SoulEx” that he purchased from Lindley Beef.
*No, they don’t take Bitcoin, listen, I tried, but it just wasn’t taking hold.



Breaker Breaker One-Niner!!! What are your plans if there is a communications outage? We discuss tips to prepare for communication breakdowns by diversifying your communication methods: maintain a landline, exploring radio options like FRS and ham radios, and utilizing different cellular networks to ensure redundancy. Perhaps establish a personal network for emergencies. Have a family backup plan and a mustering point. We cover solutions like Meshtastic that offer decentralized, off-grid communications through low-cost, license-free mesh networks.



We discuss the demoralization of young men who are so demoralized that they’ve gotten vasectomies. Masculinity and traditional family structures are under threat. Society is reflecting behaviors that mirror the outcomes of the Mouse Utopia experiment. Young men, if you’re reading this, don’t cut your balls off and become a “Beautiful One”.



We rap about the concept of the Pendulum Swing and discuss the extremes of political ideologies and societal beliefs. Don’t let social engineering push you to the fringes, maintain a grounded perspective amidst these oscillations of the pendulum.



Charles Myriel presents some solutions to the directed demoralization of our society. Make genuine connections and nurture REAL relationships, build supportive communities for the purposes of personal and collective resilience. Charles advises introspection, mutual growth, and the creation of micro-communities as essential strategies to counter societal challenges and to foster healthier, more conscious pleb communities.
