This talk, traces the foundation of natural law and inalienable rights, showing how they stand above contracts and common law, and how Aristotle’s logic gives us the tools to discern truth.
-How within common law there are many things one can do to protect one’s own rights and that decisions are not based on luck, but education.
-The axiom that value is subjective, the impact of propaganda and authority, the awakening of individual strength, and the role of Bitcoin as an antivirus in corrupted systems.
Emphasizing dialogue, education, and the refusal to trade liberty for safety, concluding that evolution depends on movement and purposeful aim.

We had a delightful and thought-provoking 2-hour conversation with the wild polymath that is Monika Bravo this past week. We discussed:
Natural law
Common law
Legalese
Logos and Myth
The US constitution
Monika has been taking a deep dive into these topics and we were excited to get her thoughts on these important subjects. 📚You can read Monika’s latest article “The Pursuit of Happiness” below:
Monika Bravo is a multidisciplinary artist and polymath born in Bogotá, Colombia, and currently based in Miami Beach, Florida. Her work spans public art, immersive sculptural environments, and a recent exploration of Austrian economics and Bitcoin studies.
In 2024, she self-published The Nature of My Reality, edited and co-produced by Mari Budlong and partially funded by The Miami Individual Artists Program. This book chronicles her journey from disempowerment to self-awareness, exploring themes of individuality, economic systems, and the philosophical underpinnings of human action. Her artistic philosophy synthesizes Eastern, ancestral, and cosmological traditions with praxeology, emphasizing liberty, value, and self-worth.
Monika thrives in constraints, creating innovative, community-serving art that integrates seamlessly with its surroundings.
Notable works include Ouranos, Above Us Only Sky (2024), an animated skyline blending real and imagined structures at Grand Central Madison in New York, and Arcana (2025), a dynamic, stage-like environment incorporating glass and metal inspired by Bauhaus aesthetics, at the Interdisciplinary Engineering Building of the University of Washington. Other significant commissions include Unus Mundus (2022) at the East Boston Police Headquarters, which explores dialogue through suspended glass sculptures and mosaics, and An Interval of Time (2020) at the Jackson School of Geosciences, University of Texas at Austin, a panoramic animation juxtaposing natural phenomena and human perception.
In 2024, Monika began speaking at Bitcoin conferences, framing Bitcoin as a “Promethean fire” with the potential to support liberation. She explores the value of scarce time and its relationship to human action, nonviolence, and low-time preference, integrating these ideas into her broader inquiry into individual sovereignty and community empowerment. Monika’s practice continues to merge artistic vision with technological and philosophical insights, inspiring connection and dialogue.
