In this episode, I talked with Meta Prime, a pseudonymous content creator who's committed to building systems grounded in truth and practical solutions. We dive deep into the fundamental question: how do we rebuild when trust in mainstream institutions has collapsed? Meta Prime shares his personal journey, from recognizing the lies that shape our current society to crafting a new path forward. Is it possible to step away from a broken system without descending into chaos? And more importantly, what does it look like to live a meaningful life outside of those mainstream narratives? We also explore the idea of parallel movements. How can people who’ve “woken up” build systems that are healthier, stronger, and free from the delusions of today’s world? This conversation is about much more than theories—Meta Prime offers real, actionable steps for anyone looking to move forward in a grounded, productive way. If you’ve ever found yourself questioning where to put your trust and how to navigate a world that feels increasingly detached from reality, this conversation might give you a glimpse of what comes next.
