Welcome to Impact Theory, I’m Tom Bilyeu and in today’s episode my guest Michael Malice and I dive deep into the realm of societal norms, politics, and cultural dynamics to help you break free from the "factory settings" of default societal beliefs. Michael Malice is widely known as an anarchist, author, and podcaster who challenges conventional views on political authority. Through his work, he pushes for a deeper understanding of the structures that govern us. Together, we debate the impact of governmental actions on society, delve into the psychological underpinnings of human behavior, and ponder the potential of anarchism as a viable societal framework. We also touch on:  - Transient cultural issues like transgender bathrooms and miniskirts  - Peoples’ resistance to thinking beyond societal norms - Effectiveness of inflicting personal consequences in political change - Mao, North Korea, and USSR historical context - Implications of an anarchist system - Voting as a ritual versus a practical tool for

Until now, you probably haven’t associated infertility with the collapse of our global population. From the U.S. to India, to South Korea, Canada, the U.K. and more, fertility rates are reaching critical levels. Humans now meet 3 criterias for being an endangered species. If that doesn’t have you totally rattled yet, our guest today, Dr. Shanna Swan, epidemiologist best known for research she published in 2017 which set off alarms and caught the attention of major media and scholars around the world, joins Tom to highlight the many factors contributing to a 50% drop in fertility rates, testosterone, and reproductive function. Shanna’s work quickly became the world’s 26th most referenced scientific paper, and her latest book, Count Down: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race, delivers a less than optimistic view of guaranteed economic population collapse. The information Dr. Shanna shares brings up majo

Welcome back to part two with Donald Hoffman. In this episode, we take a deep exploration into the nature of reality, consciousness, and the very fabric of spacetime itself. Donald Hoffman challenges our conventional understanding of the world, proposing revolutionary ideas that our perceptions are mere virtual realities crafted by evolution to guide adaptive behavior rather than reveal the objective truth. We delve into quantum entanglement, the concept of local realism, and the tantalizing mysteries beyond spacetime, examining how these ideas could reshape our perception of reality. Hoffman also discusses the intricate dynamics of human perception, the role of evolutionary game theory, and the mind-boggling complexity of decorated permutations in particle physics. As we question whether consciousness itself might be fundamental, prepare to embark on a journey that stretches the boundaries of science and philosophy.

The banking crisis we’re experiencing has us at a tipping point we can’t ignore. Hopefully it's causing you to be more thoughtful about money, what it really is, how it works, and how you can better leverage it. The banking system is set up in a way that encourages hyperinflation and incentivizes more debt and investment strategies as a hedge against inflation. The current $8 trillion dollar bailout package happening over the last three years is 10 times over the 2008 bailouts! This is for sure cause for alarm. Robert Breedlove has been the bitcoin philosopher and thought leader for hundreds of millions of people. He’s a freedom maximalist, and bitcoin philosopher that offers food for thought that can melt your brain. His breakdown of inflation being a version of legal theft will grab your attention when you hear about inflation from the context of systemic theft. How many more trillions of dollars will the Fed continue to print and how many more banks will have to collapse before we have your full attention

Roughly 1% of the world is said to be millionaires, and the fraction of the worldwide population that are billionaires are even fewer. So, no bullsh*t, what does it take to become a billionaire, or even a millionaire. The answer comes down to habits and mindset. Ultra-successful people think and move differently from everyone else. You may have heard Jim Rohn’s quote, “successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do.” This applies across the board. If billion dollar status is a goal, and being ultra wealthy and successful is high on your list of priorities, start today with your habits. Focus on the right things that create forward progress, ask the hard questions, and question everything. In this episode, 5 ultra-successful guests share what it takes and explain the inner workings and habits you can start to adopt and apply immediately. Dean Graziosi is an entrepreneur and investor that changed his life through real estate. Robin Sharma, former attorney turned leadership expert, has writt

In today’s era of ever-accelerating change, it might seem impossible to predict the future with any degree of accuracy. Likewise, it might be easy to assume that the only way to do so is through sophisticated AI algorithms and data science. Incredibly, Jane McGonigal and her colleagues at Institute for the Future have been able to predict several of today’s most disruptive trends as much as ten years in advance. Through her innovative use of alternate reality games, hyper-specific journaling techniques, and something called “future backcasting”, Jane continues to not only lay out seemingly impossible future scenarios, but also help prepare people to be proactive in building the future they want to see. If you like what you see in today’s episode, then I highly encourage you to check out Jane’s latest book, Imaginable: How to See the Future Coming and Feel Ready for Anything―Even Things That Seem Impossible Today Order your copy by clicking here: https://amzn.to/3JwImO2 [Original air date: 4-12-22].

On Today's Episode: A new year is quickly approaching and the only question now is what should you be doing now to become a millionaire in 2023?

By the end of this episode you should have at least 3 things you can start focusing on DOING immediately to reach a million dollars next year. Jaspreet Singh is the CEO and founder of Minority Mindset and Market Briefs. He’s been creating content to give people the financial education they never got so no one has to keep living paycheck to paycheck.

If you’re one that avoids economic news, politics, and global matters you may want to pause and lean into this conversation as an objective view of reality with historical context. These are scary uncertain times we’re living through with an entire banking system failing, politics with one agenda to divide the country, and the battle for global power. With the economic crisis unfolding before us, you have a decision to make on how you respond in this moment. No one can tell you what is best for you, but as Ray Dalio puts it, he wants you to at least understand the mechanics of what is happening so you can do your own analysis of what’s best for you. Ray Dalio, the founder of the world’s largest hedge fund, Bridgewater, a billionaire investor, and bestselling author, joins Tom for a sobering conversation about the obvious problems with banking causing its collapse and the moment in time we’re facing with global conflicts on the rise. The emphasis is on understanding the mechanics and knowing what to look for a

On this episode of Conversations with Tom, Tom is joined by Evolutionary Biologist Heather Heying to discuss such matters and more as they explore today’s society and the undeniable biological differences between men and women, how each sex has a unique and powerful role in societies, and why in today’s modern age, culture wars has eroded trust in objective truth. They discuss today’s social movements and the harmful consequences of letting them go too far, the differences between men and women in society, how hunter-gatherer societies may be key to understanding our roles, the origin of men and women being divided in society by role and purpose, the dangers we face if we continue to deny our differences, why the culture war movements are power hungry, how to have a successful workplace environment and team, and the risks we face as a society if we overprotect our children and refuse to let them take risks and make their own decisions.
