In this episode, Doug Casey addresses deep questions from members of his private Crisis Investing community. Doug provides his perspectives on morality, religion, and whether there is a God, mentioning his departure from the Roman Catholic Church. He also discusses US-China relations, the potential for political upheaval in the United States and China, and the implications of a Biden-administration regulatory push ahead of the elections. Additionally, he shares his thoughts on Bitcoin, life in Zimbabwe, gold-backed currencies, life insurance, and how best to prepare for potential crises. Listeners are also treated to lighter moments including a peek into Doug's personal life, his stance on allowing dogs on furniture, and his birthday activities. Doug rounds off with reflections on Argentina's future under Javier Milei, his disinterest in returning to the US around election time, and the hypothetical impacts of coronal mass ejections on the Earth.
