Freedom Rewired: Rites of Passage, Label Culture & Beating the System with Jaymie Icke

What does freedom actually mean in 2025, and how do we keep it?
In this powerful conversation, Jaymie Icke and I dig into censorship (the “calm before the storm”), platform dependency, digital IDs, social engineering, the loss of rites of passage, over-labelling, personal responsibility, and how local communities can become ungovernable (in the best way) by decentralising food, education, money and media.
We also celebrate 6 years of Ickonic and talk about why independent platforms matter more than ever.
In this episode we discuss:
- Freedom as choice vs safety as control
- Censorship 2.0 and why getting channels back may be a trap
- Platform independence: using mainstream reach without dependence
- Self-sabotage, over-labelling & the “adult children” problem
- Rites of passage, responsibility & mindset (you are worth investing in)
- Health sovereignty: food, movement, nervous system, terrain
- Community power: localising supply chains, schooling & media
- Practical ways to start now - at home, with family, and on your street
