What if modern medicine was built on a lie? I break down the forgotten debate between Germ Theory and Terrain Theory, how politics and profit shaped which one won, and how you can apply this to your life today. I cover this history of Germ and Terrain theory, the Flexner Report’s role in centralizing medical education, the rise of Big Pharma, how broken incentives have distorted science, and how focusing on the body’s “terrain” leads to real health, sovereignty, and resilience.

What if modern economics was intentionally misleading people to cover for money printing? I break down the basics of Austrian Econ, the lies of Keynesian Econ, and how sound money creates a stable foundation for civilization. I discuss the origins of Austrian thought, how inflation distorts time preference, the subjective theory of value, and why boom and bust credit cycles are inevitable with broken money.
