"I’ve done an overall analysis of the proposal by addressing seven different sections of where FinCEN is attempting to infringe on your rights. From violating the sanctity of your personal information and restricting your financial autonomy, to stifling your freedom of speech and association, I’ll unpack each area. This is about shining a light on the fine print, connecting the dots, and equipping you with the knowledge you need to stand up against these intrusive measures. It’s time to draw a line in the sand and protect the liberties that define us." ~ Preston Pysh FinCEN has taken it upon themselves, by the permission of the PATRIOT ACT, to unilaterally enforce an onerous reporting and surveillance apparatus on all digital currency services and providers, in a vague and burdensome violation of the basic right to privacy and protection against warrantless search in their proposed FINCEN-2023-0016 Rule. Hear Preston Pysh do an incredible breakdown and response to each element to help you make sense of this overreach and how to stand in its way.

The principle that one should help men in an emergency cannot be extended to regard all human suffering as an emergency and to turn the misfortune of some into a first mortgage on the lives of others.” ~ Ayn Rand Today we are going to turn some concepts on their head. I hope that this challenges many to reflect not on their judgements, but to reflect on *the internal values that push us toward those judgements.* What if our thinking is twisted by a deeply internalized, but absurdly unrealistic expectation? Why are ethics questions always framed in the context of a life or death emergency? Or framed from the context of who we should sacrifice our life for, painting the universe as persistent chaos and malevolence. How does this help us in our day to day lives? What does this framing imply for moral values for the other 99.9% of the time? Diving back into Ayn Rand's philosophical musings in "The Virtue of Selfishness," today we cover chapter 3, on "The Ethics of Emergencies."
