153 – Metanoia Through Praxeology: The Golden Rule with Red Tail Hawk
About this Episode
Episode 153 opens with Avi’s sermon “Fix Yourself to Fix the World”: Bitcoin can be a flawless instrument, but it doesn’t magically heal the operator. The call is to audit the inner ledger with the same seriousness we bring to the timechain, because sovereign networks demand sovereign people.
Red Tail Hawk then shares a raw origin story shaped by the 2008 financial crisis. After graduating with an applied mathematics degree in 2007, he gets hit by the post-crash job-market catch-22, sliding into a stretch of extreme austerity and homelessness before eventually rebuilding stability. That experience becomes the gateway into monetary curiosity: Ron Paul, the Fed, precious metals, and finally a serious Bitcoin deep dive around 2017 after watching price (and conviction) accelerate.
From there, the conversation takes a spiritual turn. Red explains how he received the name “Red Tail Hawk” through a remote encounter with an elderly medicine man, and how that catalyzed years of research into comparative religion and esoteric traditions. He recounts a pivotal 2018 experience during Hurricane Florence era stress, describing a body-wide “pins and needles” event and involuntary hand postures, which he later connected to kundalini frameworks and a broader “perennial philosophy” lens, looking for common ground across traditions.
A practical centerpiece of the episode is Red’s approach to “golden rule orange-pilling”: qualify your lead, learn what makes them tick, and tailor the Bitcoin entry point to their worldview (security/military frames vs ecology/permaculture frames), rather than trying to brute-force a one-size pitch.
They also explore “missing years” Jesus travel theories (India/Tibet threads), skepticism toward religious canon as a kind of “fiat authority,” and Red’s current writing project around symbolism, etymology, and what he calls “Language of the Birds.”
Later, they touch the “Bitcoin metanoia” phenomenon (Bitcoin as a mind-and-heart pivot), praxeology as a bridge toward empathy, and a deep nerdy detour into theta states, grounding, Schumann resonance, and Itzhak Bentov as a missing-link figure in consciousness research.
