What is Cognitive Sovereignty? - Andi Pitt (JWP 119)

In this episode of the podcast I was joined by Andi Pitt, a venture capitalist in the Bitcoin space, and former member of a cult. She discusses the concept of mind control, its prevalence in society, and its implications for individual cognitive sovereignty and democracy. This was a truly mind-bending conversation. We discussed cults and mind control, the Iranian regime, education as a tool for indoctrination, the idea of cognitive sovereignty, Bitcoin and personal freedom, VC in the Bitcoin industry today, and finally the impact of meditation with self-awareness. So much to learn from someone like Andi.
