YEEEES I had the same thought, weird weird weird

Gracias señor

Someone invited me to join their podcast team as a host, yeaha 😄 BUT this is how it went 🤣 : Hello Alexandra, You have an exciting profile and that's why I wanted to ask you if this job might interest you? It's about making a podcast with interviews in German. Do you have time and interest? Hey Charly, Thanks for the invitation! Yes, that sounds exciting - I've done various podcasts over the last 4 years (here's my own: https://fountain.fm/show/0cjwJbTn6z3lPXNX8ISg) and I'd be happy to join your team! Warmest regards, Alexandra Hello Alexandra, thank you very much for the quick response. I listened to two or three of your podcasts. Technically speaking, it meets our expectations - but I have concerns about whether it matches between us, our topic, and you. The topics and messages in your podcast largely do not correspond to my values. I do live a very free life thanks to my entrepreneurial mindset and am not in agreement with everything that's taught in schools - but in the podcast or with the guests, it sometimes goes too strongly into conspiracy theories. Recommending opening accounts in Russia, for example, is not good... Even if the article was published in 2019.... I also think that homeschooling is not the right model for everyone, actually even for many not. I've seen in my own family where it leads when you deprive children of social contacts. Therefore, I believe it doesn't fit. I thank you for your understanding, but wish you much success on your path. Regards Charly Dear Charly, first of all: Thank you for your openness, it is rare and therefore all the more valuable. It takes courage not only to have values but to stand by them consistently, even if it means declining a collaboration. I respect that. You mention as an example the recommendation to open an account in Russia from a post in 2019. Reality: Back then, it was a legitimate, tax-wise and geopolitically sound strategy for digital nomads and entrepreneurs who wanted to protect themselves against currency risks, banking arbitrariness, and political instability in Europe. It was not a call for capital flight or support for authoritarian regimes. It was an option, one of many. Anyone who equates 2019 with 2025 is not doing analysis but retroactive morality. Knowledge evolves. Anyone who doesn't acknowledge that lives in a bubble of self-righteousness. You say you've seen in your family where it leads when children are deprived of social contacts. That is a tragic individual experience and not a scientific basis. Reality: Studies (e.g., from the USA, Canada, New Zealand) consistently show: Homeschoolers are often better socially adjusted, have deeper friendships, fewer bullying experiences, and higher emotional resilience. They don't learn conformity in groups of 30, but responsibility in real contexts. Of course, there are dysfunctional cases, as in every form of education. But to discredit homeschooling across the board because your family was overwhelmed by it is intellectual laziness. It's like rejecting entrepreneurship because a startup went bankrupt. You live a very free life thanks to your entrepreneurial mindset, but only as long as no one crosses your boundaries. That's not free thinking. That's conformist non-conformism lite. Conclusion: You're right: It doesn't fit. Alexandra

Don't you think they trying to tell us to meditate?

It's all out in the open now, and I can only explain why so many people still don’t see it with Stockholm syndrome. When I look around: people defending the very systems that chain them, even worse, they’re praising the jailers. People have been gaslighted into this trap, I want to believe. And I’m torn, can you even say that they’re responsible for this? Because at this point I see some very smart people not being able to see what I see. Not even a glimpse of it. Not even trying. Don’t get me wrong, how I see the world might be totally wrong. But at least I can see reality from different perspectives, understand where people coming from, without becoming an absolute aggressive defender of my one and only worldview. This I experienced more and more in the last months – don’t even start to talk to people about my worldview, because GOOD LORD, seems like a lot of people really want to fight. And at the other side of the coin I see people being so open to all the crazy possibilities out there, going so deep into what reality can look like, defining everything new. Where did the „in between“ go?

I came across a fascinating statistic recently: around 1.5 million families worldwide are now choosing worldschooling. That number are giving me hope. What used to be seen as a niche lifestyle is now obviously becoming a mainstream movement, especially as more parents embrace remote work and reimagine what education can look like. Because using the real world as a classroom works really good for my son, e.g. picking up languages by actually living in new cultures. As i see it: It’s part of a much broader trend in alternative education. Now let’s imagine not only setting our kids free when it comes to location or how they learn maths, but also about multidimensional approaches to education – our reality has so many layers to explore!

In this episode, I sit down with Denys Troyak, a visionary behind Satoshi Island, a decentralized utopia in Vanuatu. This time, it’s all about personal growth, community building, and emotional well-being, exploring how Satoshi Island aims to create a sustainable and regenerative community focused on planetary health, financial well-being, and personal fulfillment. And as Denys explains: we need to change the world, and we need to start with us. So, for me, Satoshi Island is one of the pioneering projects that show us today, how freedom maxis might live tomorrow. We discuss the importance of slowing down, connecting with nature, and finding happiness within, rather than through material or societal pressures. Denys shares his personal transformation through a simpler life in Vanuatu and how it has deepened his understanding of community and well-being. "Why don't we smile more? Why don't we hug more? Well, it's, you know, it's, it's because we're disconnected." – Denys And of course, we also touch base on the unschooling part – traditional education is "one fits all" approach, that doesn’t fit at all. As unschooling is not so much about our kids, but about ourselves, this episode is about self-observation, humor, and love, to make us the best coaches for our free ranged, wild kids <3 https://fountain.fm/episode/z3dvwtL7riz83xNQtrC9

This time on Wild Life Unschooling, I had a really nice conversation with Rahim Taghizadegan. Rahim is a powerhouse in Austrian economics, a philosopher, and the mastermind behind the Scholarium in Vienna. One of many inspiring projects, that Rahim is pushing forward, is his groundbreaking project that helps Bitcoin families live across different countries to bypass the traditional state schooling system. From his journey through Austrian economics to his bold ideas on Free Private Cities and the role of Bitcoin, this episode is packed with insights on flexible living and innovative thinking. If you’re passionate about breaking stereotypes and embracing a decentralized lifestyle, this one is for you ;) https://fountain.fm/episode/pqVTZ5NAqK8VCanh4SUQ

Soooo illegal. Police will pick your kid up to bring it to school, and sooner or later you end up in court. I know families who lost custody of their kids and fled to the US as homeschooling refugees

Please don't feed the fears. The worry about math, friends, college, was louuud. But every day I choose to trust my kid’s curiosity instead of the panic, the fear got smaller and smaller. No schedule. No tests. Just life. He is learning hieroglyphs at midnight, debates ideas about God over breakfast, runs his own small business, and is his own boss regarding what is on his schedule. The gaps I was warned about (WHAT IF HE MISSES OUT ON PROPAGANDA!!) fill themselves when he’s free to follow what really matters to him. Now I know: we’re not behind. We’re on a different path. And it’s working. #unschooling #homeschooling #worldschooling #love decentralized #education

What I learned from my parents after unschooling my kid for 10 years - every Christmas I was yelled at for "not educating my child". But I still went back every Christmas to see my grandma. In the end, my father accepted "his" fate of having such a degenerate as a daughter. To be fair, homeschooling in Germany is so fucking illegal, fuels their fear, and exactly why I left Germany with my kid. And over the years I accepted the yelling part more and more, because I finally realized - it's fear based blaming. Nothing else. It has nothing to do with me, but everything to do with them. After 10 years of unschooling, I'm so far down the decentralized education-rabbit hole that I cannot imagine not taking the full responsiblity for my kid's education. Because this courage gives me the opportunity to explore realms beyond "traditional" education, travel the world with him, and expand my consciousness the same time as well. I'm fucking happy to see that there are so many homeschooling, worldschooling, freeschooling, unschooling, whateverschooling Bitcoiners out there.

Christmas like I remember it from my childhood.

Yes, what if it's all fake and gay? If all is fake and gay, then you are the only real variable. Be the signal in the static. Your integrity, effort, and care are the only things that can’t be faked.

Decentralized education, free-ranged kids, soul-led education, no-schooling, unschooling, homeschooling, self-directed learning, natural learning, child-led education, interest-based education, autonomous education, worldschooling, deschooling, freedom-based learning, freeschooling... This is how it looks like at home. https://fountain.fm/show/0cjwJbTn6z3lPXNX8ISg

So, in the end I think "handling" is not about looking good while going through it I think. Because I asked myself this question as well, very often. As long as you get up after the fall, you handled it. But where this "life gives you only blabla" thing doesn't work for me, what if this ends up in taking your own life - so yes, strange saying.

Oasis culture is easy living. The best part about worldschooling is, the many friendships kids make along the way with so many awesome human beings from different cultural backgrounds. Favorite thing so far in Egypt for my son: riding a motorcycle with your 12-year-old friend Ahmed to this natural pool. At night, sharing tajine with camel (my new fav food, what the fuck didn't know camel is that tasty) at the fire bit with beduine people. I really fell in love with Egypt, beautiful here.
