Gabriel Custodiet speaks with contrarian cultural thinker Jayant Bhandari. Bhandari views politics as subsidiary to culture, and thus culture as the first principle from which to begin one’s analysis. He explains the rarely-acknowledged unchanging depravities of the Third World which are leading it toward collapse: all stemming from a lack of reason and thus moral consciousness. Bhandari also gives his thoughts on a variety of other matters, such as the 2016 Indian banknote demonetisation, the prevalence of Indian scammers, and how to cultivate fearlessness as a speaker.   Guest Links → https://jayantbhandari.com → https://twitter.com/JayantBhandari5 → https://www.youtube.com/@CapitalismAndMorality Watchman Privacy → https://watchmanprivacy.com (newsletter, consultation requests) → https://twitter.com/watchmanprivacy → https://www.amazon.com/Watchman-Guide-Privacy-Financial-Lifestyle/dp/B08PX7KFS2   Bitcoin Privacy Course → https://rpf.gumroad.com/l/privatebitcoin   Monero Donation Address (If you can't see the whole string, double click in the middle to select all) →8829DiYwJ344peEM7SzUspMtgUWKAjGJRHmu4Q6R8kEWMpafiXPPNBkeRBhNPK6sw27urqqMYTWWXZrsX6BLRrj7HiooPAy   Please subscribe to and rate this podcast wherever you can to help it thrive.

Gabriel Custodiet talks to Aaron Zar, founder of SLNT signal-blocking pouches. They discuss the origin and definition of Faraday bags, their uses for privacy seekers, and some of the ins-and-outs of the industry. A (good) Faraday bag is a covering that blocks most signals—GPS, cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, RFID, EMP, EMF—and thus allows its user to have situational privacy.   Guest Links → https://slnt.com → https://twitter.com/goslnt → https://slnt.com/pages/faq → https://slnt.com/pages/slnt-testing Watchman Privacy → https://watchmanprivacy.com (newsletter, consultation requests) → https://twitter.com/watchmanprivacy → https://www.amazon.com/Watchman-Guide-Privacy-Financial-Lifestyle/dp/B08PX7KFS2   Bitcoin Privacy Course → https://rpf.gumroad.com/l/privatebitcoin   Monero Donation Address (If you can't see the whole string, double click in the middle to select all) →8829DiYwJ344peEM7SzUspMtgUWKAjGJRHmu4Q6R8kEWMpafiXPPNBkeRBhNPK6sw27urqqMYTWWXZrsX6BLRrj7HiooPAy   Please subscribe to and rate this podcast wherever you can to help it thrive.
