Episode Details

The glitch is the fiat system. The glitch is the scam so deeply embedded in the fabric of daily life that most can’t even see it. It’s an economic Truman Show, designed to be too real to question, where the actors don’t even know they’re acting. The fiat illusion is glitching so hard that people mistake the distortion for reality, clinging to a system that is collapsing in real time.

“All my Bitcoiner friends are so smart.”

But is it because they understand money?

Or because they see the scam?

Does seeing the scam make them smart?

Or were they smart to begin with, and that’s why they see it?

This is the twist we’re living in—perception itself is being inverted. Those who question the system are ridiculed, while those who blindly trust it believe they are the enlightened ones.

We are in the age of glitches. The money is fake. The economy is rigged. Elections are illusions. The “news” is a simulation. The institutions we were taught to revere are crumbling under the weight of their own contradictions. The realis breaking through, and those who have trained their minds to spot deception are the ones navigating this transition with clarity.

Like Truman, we have reached the edges of our reality. The cracks in the sky are visible.

The Truman Show and the Nature of the Glitch

The Truman Show wasn’t just a movie; it was a warning. Truman Burbank lives inside a perfectly curated illusion, a fabricated world where every event, every crisis, and every relationship is part of a script. But when the glitches start—a spotlight labeled Sirius falling from the sky, his car radio picking up surveillance chatter, his wife’s jarring product placements—his world begins to unravel.

He reaches the edge of his existence, where the horizon is nothing but a painted sky. There, he finds the exit. Christof, the show's creator, tries one last time to keep him inside:

Christof: "I am the creator… of a television show that gives hope and joy and inspiration to millions."

Truman: "Then who am I?"

That is the real question. When the system is exposed, when the illusion fails, who are you outside of it? Truman chooses the unknown. He steps through the door.

We are at that threshold now.

DOGE and the Collapse of the Illusion

The Department of Government Oversight and Expenditure (DOGE), created under Trump’s administration, was designed to expose the grotesque misuse of public money. The world Truman lived in was built to keep him complacent—just like the system we’ve been living in. DOGE turned the cameras around. It revealed the siphoning of wealth, the funding of phantom agencies, the manufactured crises meant to justify bloated budgets.

For decades, people were told to trust the institutions. They were told that the national debt was just an abstraction, that government spending was necessary, that money could be printed infinitely without consequence. Now, as DOGE has begun pulling threads, the entire tapestry is unraveling.

The fiat system itself is a glitch—a distortion of real value, a manufactured construct that demands faith without backing. It is designed to crash, to be reset, over and over, while those who control it extract everything from those trapped inside.
