[PRE ACTIVIST #MMT] - Shaking the Foundation: Economic Ignorance keeps us off balance.

Update: 2018-07-27

Description

Pete Gillette is a fellow member of my Aikido dojo. Our dojo is the Aikido Arts Institute (http://aikidoartsinstitute.com/) in Maple Shade, New Jersey. I approached Pete in class a month previous to asked if we could do something completely unrelated to Aikido. I said I’d buy him lunch if he’d consider listening to an economics lesson that I'd been practicing. He said yes. When we first arrived at the diner, he admitted that he expected me to market some Ponzi scheme kind of business proposition. He was pleasantly surprised when that was not the case.

Pete calls himself a Democrat, but does not follow politics. (I am a full-on progressive and supporter of Bernie Sanders.) Despite all of them being active in and aware of politics, Pete knew more to start than all of them.

Recorded July 28th, 2018.

Quotes from Pete:

- From the Matrix: "Why do my eyes hurt?" "It’s your first time using them."
- "Bringing it back to Aikido, [economic ignorance] is a good lead. It keeps us off balance"
