A few days ago, I had the great pleasure to sit down again with my good friend James Patrick in person, in Monte Brè. It was a truly spontaneous and unfiltered conversation about the current state of the world, the bizarre geopolitical situation and the tragicomical moment in history that we find ourselves in. We talked about the extreme, and likely unprecedented, risks we face in the global economic and financial system and I’m very glad we decided to record this conversation, as I truly believe many of the points raised in it have the potential to directly impact a lot of investors and ordinary savers, especially those who understand history and can already identify important patterns.

I’ve known James for quite a few years already and he was one of the very few people who had the courage to speak out against State abuses and to defend individual freedoms when it was truly uncomfortable and unrewarding to do so. At the height of the covid hysteria, he produced the eye-opening documentary “Planet Lockdown”, which I was honored to contribute to. James shares a lot, if not most, of my own viewpoints, but due to his keen eye for detail, he often goes even further in his deductions and his extrapolations. Regardless of whether I agree with or challenge his conclusions, he is always eager to elaborate, to counter argue and to engage in a sincere and sophisticated debate with me. 

Quite reliably and predictably, this usually makes our discussions particularly enjoyable, spirited and intense, but also enlightening and thought provoking. It is an increasingly rare and elusive experience that I, as well as most independent thinkers out there, are finding all but impossible to engage in these days. The general level of public discourse and the catastrophic deterioration in the capacity for most people to defend their positions and beliefs though rational argumentation, has rendered too many “debates” inconsequential and it has reduced a lot more to entirely futile shouting matches that appear to have more in common with a circus performance than an respectful, open and real human interaction. 

I hope you’ll enjoy this conversation as much as we did.
