Erik Cason joins me…AGAIN to talk about something we as Bitcoiners need to think about.

- A moral code.
- A list of virtues.
How we must conduct ourselves, for it is WE, The True Bitcoiners, who shall inherit the earth.

In this episode, we explore:

Why is conditioning so effective.
Nature VS Nurture.
Masters & Slaves
UBI - good / bad / dumb / accelerant?
Honesty & Privacy ?
Privacy = Selective Honesty.
What is Bushido?
- Japanese word that literally means "warrior way".

Bushi: "warrior" = literally 'military + man'.
Do: road, or way

Bushido is also used as an overarching term for all the codes, practices, philosophies and principles of samurai culture.

Bushido formalized earlier samurai moral values and ethical code, most commonly stressing a combination of sincerity, frugality, loyalty, martial arts mastery and honour until death

It allowed the violent existence of the samurai to be tempered by wisdom, patience and serenity

A code often unuttered to unwritten.

Requires a rite of passage, and in order to become a Samurai, one must master this code.

Variations by clan, by tribe and by territory.
(Localism in action)

Similarities to the European concept of chivalry?
Differences to Chivalry?

Eight virtues of Bushidō (as defined by Nitobe Inazō):
- Righteousness (義, gi)
- Heroic Courage (勇, yū)
- Benevolence, Compassion (仁, jin)
- Respect (礼, rei)
- Honesty (誠, makoto)
- Honour (名誉, meiyo)
- Duty and Loyalty (忠義, chūgi)
- Self-Control (自制, jisei)
