History is always a sensitive subject.
It can be re-interpreted by anyone to fit their historical biases.
A country’s respective political class tries to build a founding myth and broader historical narrative to justify its rule.
Oftentimes, these narratives are false and are used to promote broader myths that serve to indoctrinate the masses and make them susceptible to future forms of propaganda.
For the past century, court historians have done an impeccable job in crafting historical myths that validate the present-day status quo of activist government and fiat money.
However, this seemingly monolithic consensus is now challenged by various content creators who are willing to ask uncomfortable questions.
Say what you want about the Internet and its facilitation of the rise of social media, it has been a god-send for content creators in the alternative media.
In previous eras, these independent voices would have been sidelined by the legacy media and probably forced to pursue entirely different careers.
That does not have to be the case any long.
As far as financial freedom is concerned, there is a lot to be optimistic about.
In previous eras, financial knowledge was largely confined to elites who studied these topics and other segments of the well-to-do population.
However, with the advent of the Internet, this information has been largely “democratized”, if you will. Now people have access to game-changing wealth-building information.
For example, most people in the pre-Internet age would have never known about concepts such as income property and inflation induced debt destruction, among others.
As a result, many people of middle class and humbler origins, can tap into newfound information that makes them move up the socio-economic ladder.
This would have been completely unheard of in the pre-Internet era.
When it’s all said and done, the Internet is the ultimate cudgel against gatekeepers. And we should keep it that way.
One individual who stands out as the ultimate challenger against gatekeepers is Rudyard Lynch, the host of the YouTube channel WhatifAltHist.
He’s an independent historian who explores how the past and present could have turned out differently by drawing on examples from culture, geography, and our present timeline.
Jason Hartman got to chat with Rudyard Lynch in a recent interview on YouTube about the importance of studying history and what the future looks like for the rest of the world.

One of the main themes that WhatIfAltHist tries to impart is that the world is a historically unstable place.
The human story is one of large instability and constant changes.
Humans are not weak creatures though. The human body and mind are capable of great things even when placed under severe stress.
That’s why at the Empowered Investor Pro community there’s a strong emphasis on community building and knowledge dissemination. Jason Hartman stresses the importance of maintaining your composure even in the worst of economic times.
You see, crises are often a matter of perspective.
