Liberation Travel Hacks 04/2026

Dear friends,

1. Which media content is dangerous for people and should be banned?
2. Which substances are dangerous for people and should be banned?
3. What do people really need from the system, and should they contribute to it through taxes?
4. What is the public interest, and how best to achieve it?
5. How to ensure the protection of my country from a foreign enemy?

These are all questions I genuinely pondered in the past as I considered the best system for achieving them.

These are questions that plague all collectivists worldwide who care about society's fate.

But after many years, I started to respect the human being, human individuality, and their free decisions, whatever they may be.

I realized that if I truly respect voluntary human decisions, then I have no moral right to decide what content people consume, to forbid it, or to decide what they put or don't put into their own bodies. I have no moral right (and certainly not a democratic one) to decide how their money will be used, to what extent, and whether the public interest will be served. The public interest doesn't actually exist – there are only millions of individual interests that cannot be averaged out and applied universally. Public interest is an excuse that politicians have historically abused to legitimize their goals publicly.

And of course, I have no moral right to force any person to sacrifice their life for me or for any organization. It is a gross disrespect for human life. And no one has that right, not even the state.

I don't like that people consume Putin's propaganda, I don't like that they inject heroin into their bodies, and I don't like that innocent people die defending their country.

But none of that gives me the right to violently intervene in their lives and decide for them what I think is best for them.

To many, I'm naive; to many, I'm a utopian.

While I'm simply trying to live according to the golden rule:

"Do not do to others what you do not want done to you."

And I truly do not want others to do any of the above-mentioned things; I don't want them done to me.

Slovakia

New business plans on the Czech/Slovak/Polish border:

1. From the Polish side, Bitcoin ATMs allow crypto withdrawal without KYC up to 1000 EUR (which is no longer possible in Czechia, Slovakia, and all other EU states).
2. From the Czech/Slovak side - abortion clinics for Polish women.
3. From the Czech side, anonymous SIM cards are banned in Slovakia/Poland.
4. "Tax-free" triple-home on the Czech-Slovak-Polish border, 4 months as a tourist in Slovakia (Vyšný Koniec), 4 months in the Czech Republic (Hrčava), 4 months in Poland (Jaworzynka), with Paraguayan tax residency and center of vital interests. You cannot have permanent residence/permanent apartment/center of vital interests anywhere, and you need to make regular trips, since after 90 continuous days in Slovakia and 30 continuous days in the Czech Republic, you are required to register your stay in that country.

I keep hearing excuses from people who stayed in Slovakia and support the SMER state mafia and all other immoralities (like the criminalization and imprisonment of marijuana users) with their taxes, saying they can't really help it because they pay taxes involuntarily. That's certainly true, but it doesn't mean you're not supporting this immoral system with your taxes.

Of course, you are!

And of course, if you really wanted to, you wouldn't have to support it.

You can leave (at least from the system) and stop paying taxes.
100 years ago, a million Slovaks managed to do it; in 2026, literally almost anyone can.
You chose the more comfortable option - not to leave.
When we stopped working for the state as a company many years ago, I heard a lot from our contractors that "it's so cool, we could afford to do that too."
Of course, any of them could have afforded it and lived exclusively on private-sector income (as we did), but they would have had to step out of their comfort zones.
The same applies to every Slovak taxpayer who supports all immoral things with their taxes.

But not everyone can leave!
This question is completely irrelevant. We're not talking about everyone, but about you, about your inner integrity, about which bastards you want or don't want to support with your taxes.
It's like arguing that you can't all leave the enslaver because your whole family is there, and after all, nobody would take care of the sugar cane you've had an inner bond with since birth.
When I left for Panama and then Paraguay many years ago, it wasn't primarily about saving on taxes, as most people might think. It was about principle - simply not supporting bastards and a system I don't identify with at all, even if I would have had to pay minimal taxes in Slovakia.

And I'm not the only one - over those few years, we've helped relocate nearly 1000 people to Paraguay, Uruguay, and Panama - families with children, grandpas, grandmas, grandkids. Many of them felt/feel the same way I do. I also moved most of my closest friends there, so I meet up with them in Panama, Uruguay, or Paraguay.

I regularly move from a 5-star hotel to a hammock in the jungle. I genuinely step out of my comfort zone, and my standard of living drops significantly, just as it (temporarily) did when we stopped working for the state as a company, and just as it did when I left my loved ones and moved to Latin America.

But I did it because I consider it very important and need to feel a sense of inner integrity in my decisions.

If you truly don't want to support the state mafia in Slovakia, then stop making excuses.

Step out of your comfort zone and leave the system!

Czech Republic

If you have any friends who want to move from Latin America to the Czech Republic, my good friend has launched a service that makes it possible and significantly easier for them to do so. From Latin America to Prague in 90 days.

Forget about complicated bureaucratic procedures. They will guide you step by step through the process of legally obtaining a Czech visa, without costly mistakes and 100% in Spanish.

Mexico

How to get temporary and permanent residency in Latin America with a criminal record:

From time to time, Czechs and Slovaks contact me who want residency in Paraguay or Panama, but have a criminal record for "marijuana possession" or another nonsensical victimless crime (you'd be surprised how many there are).

We're sorry to say it's not possible, as they need a clean criminal record extract, without which we can't apply for residency.

Today, together with our Mexican lawyers, we found a 100% legal hack to actually help all these people convicted of nonsensical crimes and get them residency in Latin American countries.

Mexico has a special program that, based solely on financial solvency, approves your temporary residency without requiring a criminal record extract or a birth certificate.

You either need to have had a minimum monthly income of 4400 USD in your bank account over the last 12 months, or a minimum balance of 72000 USD for the entire 12-month period.

Important thing - it can be any bank account in the world (!)

You can have an account in a Czech bank, ask the bank for an official account statement for the last year, visit the Mexican embassy in Prague with this statement, and have it verified. Based on that, they'll place a special stamp in your passport at the embassy, which you can use to apply for temporary Mexican residency within 6 months (and permanent residency after 4 years).

When applying for Mexican residency based on solvency, the Mexican immigration office doesn't actually require a criminal record extract or birth certificate! They don't even do an Interpol check.

All you need is a valid passport and proof of solvency.

Of course, as a Mexican resident, you can directly apply for a Mexican criminal record extract (which will be clean), have it apostilled in Mexico, and, based on it, apply for residency in Paraguay/Panama, or another country.

However, to use this Mexican criminal record extract in Panama/Paraguay, you need to have held Mexican residency for at least 3 years (after 4 years, you can apply for permanent residency).

In Panama, we routinely apply for residency for our Paraguayan clients based solely on their apostilled criminal record extract from Paraguay - in this case, we no longer need any documents from Europe.

So if you have a criminal record from a nonsensical, victimless crime (marijuana or other drug possession), you're not a politician, not accused/prosecuted for corruption, contact us - we'll be happy to help you get residency in Mexico and subsequently in Panama/Paraguay.

If you're accused of a crime with a victim or you're a politician, we can't help you.

Paraguay

Important reminder: Mandatory visits to Paraguay within one year of temporary residency approval are now actually ENFORCED for temporary residents (similar to how mandatory visits within three years are enforced for permanent residents). If you skip this visit, there's a risk that your permanent residency won't be approved or will be revoked! And you'll have to extend your temporary residency.

As temporary residents, you should not be outside Paraguay for more than 365 days per year.

Excusing yourself via migraciones@migraciones.gov.py reportedly doesn't work, so if, as temporary residents, you were outside Paraguay for more than 365 days per year, be prepared that you'll only extend your temporary residency for another two years. Apart from the mandatory visit within one year, there are no other obligations or disadvantages.

Two services that both existing and future Paraguay residents will appreciate:

1. Planning mandatory visits

Just register here and select that you're a Paraguayan resident. After registration, click on your profile.

Upload a photo of the back of your Paraguayan residency card (without personal data), and the app will run OCR, calculate your mandatory Paraguayan visit dates, let you add them to your calendar, and enable email notifications that you'll receive a month before your mandatory visit.

Important information - not only temporary but also permanent residents should pay attention to mandatory visits to Paraguay, once a year (for temporary residents) and once every 3 years (for permanent residents).

2. Reservations at Hotel Five, an excellent four-star hotel in Asunción, which can be paid with any crypto (Bitcoin Lightning, Bitcoin Onchain, Monero, Zcash, all stablecoins, and ETH). Breakfast is included and, subject to availability, also "early check-in." The price is great compared to Booking.

It seems that the latest data leak concerning Paraguayan citizens and residents comes from the civil registry. This applies to everyone who was born, married, divorced, died, or had a child in Paraguay. If none of these situations apply to you, you're not included in the leaked database. In France, tax office employees "sold" information about wealthy crypto investors to terrorists so they could kidnap and torture them. When can we expect this to happen in Paraguay? The Paraguayan government has essentially destroyed local Paraguayan crypto companies with new regulations.

It is incomprehensible and dangerous that in this case, the crypto reporting obligation persists and has not yet been abolished—more information about current changes in Paraguay.

Until now, a large number of properties in Paraguay have been purchased with crypto. The obligation to declare any crypto will actually reduce market demand for Paraguayan real estate. Can we expect a drop in their prices?

People have misconceptions about how to prepare for unexpected events. You can't buy insurance when your roof is already on fire. Stressed people from Europe want to get residency in Latin America because they're afraid of war. The first available appointment at the immigration office in Montevideo is in August. It doesn't work so that you automatically get residency/citizenship exactly when you need it.

When a global conflict breaks out, it will be significantly harder, if not impossible.

Cambodia

Cambodia was a popular destination for non-CRS banks.

Beware, some Cambodian banks have lost their license and prevented their clients from accessing (and withdrawing) money!

A non-CRS bank account at the Kyrgyz bank Bakai or Aiyl Bank with premium services continues to work without issues, and you can open one here.

Bitcoin, Monero, ZCash, and Cryptocurrencies

Crypto people are in a similar position to rich people – they don't pay taxes, or rather, they have countless ways to legally or illegally avoid them. That's because they are:

1. Smart and protect their privacy – they use non-KYC P2P services (Vexl.it, Bisq, Robosats, Peer.xyz, Hodl Hodl, Haveno, and others) that are completely outside state control.
2. Flexible - they have tax residency in countries with territorial taxation (such as Paraguay).

In Slovakia, the total crypto tax rate can reach up to 51%, which is so bizarre that when I tell someone abroad, they tap their forehead, wondering if I'm serious. Of course, nobody in Slovakia actually pays it (I'm convinced that 99% of people in Slovakia don't pay any crypto taxes, and the Financial Administration statistics confirm this).

Paraguay wants to force residents to pay taxes on their local Paraguayan crypto income (8–10%) through mandatory crypto declarations. It's orders of magnitude less than in Slovakia, but I'm still convinced that none of the crypto people in Paraguay will declare and pay it.

It's worth thinking about – if more than 90% of people ignore a law, as is the case with both Slovak and Paraguayan crypto legislation, then isn't the problem with the clueless politicians who approved the legislation rather than with the taxpayers who completely ignore it?

Age Control Verification is one of the most absurd things happening in today's IT world. I'm glad that GrapheneOS refused to implement it along with Omarchy or Slackware Linux. I'm all the sadder that Ubuntu, Debian, or PoP OS decided to be "compliant" with this nonsensical regulation.

California just passed a law that requires your phone, laptop, smart TV – and all other devices you own – to record your age and send it to every app you open. They called it a security feature.

In Hong Kong, refusing to provide the government with passwords to personal mobile devices has become a criminal offense.

The basically prevailing schizophrenic theory about the Internet is that computer geeks destroyed the Internet and created an infinite amount of spam. Ad executives can no longer distinguish between a bot and a real person. Ad executives no longer want to pay social networks as much money. Social networks, in complete panic over potential revenue loss, decided to lobby governments, claiming, "We must protect children!" Verify everyone's identity to protect children from pedophiles!

Social networks know this doesn't actually protect children. But it achieves two things (and a third accidentally):

1. Now they can identify who is a human and who is an AI spam machine, or at least enough to calm down ad executives
2. Advertising targeted at children is generally taboo for politicians, or something like that, so thanks to identity verification, they can claim with certainty that they're not advertising to children because it took place. They can essentially exclude children and focus on advertising to adults.
3. The feds can now tell who is a human and who is AI. This inadvertently helps them track people and serve up fresh daily doses of propaganda, or whatever else they want to do.

It's beneficial for everyone – for advertisers, social networks, the government, and any company that collects data.

AI - Relationships Loved and Unfulfilled

Rational Reflections on the Irrational

Romantic relationships are for me the most complicated and incomprehensible thing in the world, and sometimes I feel that the more I try to understand them, the more lost I get.

Every human being is a multidimensional vector of desires, expectations, values, and other factors that define us as individuals. And we try to find a match with another multidimensional vector of desires, expectations, and values, hoping that, at least in some dimensions, it shares a common direction.

And over time, both vectors keep changing, and the freer people are in a relationship, the more random their direction becomes, so an ideal match is practically impossible to achieve.

And of course, the more complex the people, the more dimensions the vector has, and the match becomes even more complicated.

The Strategy of Local and Global Maximum

In the past, just two or three generations ago, choosing a partner was relatively simple — the most suitable partner within a radius of tens, at most hundreds of kilometers. Often, if not directly from my village, then from the next one over. Our parents, and certainly our grandparents, chose from the local maximum. We learned to live with them. The space was limited, potential partners were relatively few, and the choice was relatively simple. In the past, the local maximum was at the level of the tribe or a small village.

In the 21st century, thanks to network technologies like the Internet and cheap, trivial travel, the phenomenon of partner selection has changed — we now choose from the global maximum. We want the best partner, if not literally in the whole world, then at least in a given country.

But this modern strategy has one serious problem that most people don't realize. Searching through an enormous space (such as an entire country or the whole world) requires a great deal of time and energy. And our short human life may not be enough for it.

Another problem can be the paradox of choice (Barry Schwartz). Just because we have an enormous pool of potential partners doesn't mean we'll be satisfied with our choice.

From a purely biological-reproductive perspective (at least in the case of women, but also men), we have a fairly strictly limited time to find the mother or father of our children. The local maximum strategy somehow managed this; the global maximum strategy, with high standards for a partner, often yields no results.

Of course, if we're not looking for the mother or father of our children, we have significantly more time to find an ideal partner, on the order of decades.

That's why many people today can't find a partner — they're using the time-consuming global maximum strategy. In other words, they have high standards and aren't willing to lower them.

It's therefore worth thinking about simplifying heuristics for finding partners:

1. Shared Values

This heuristic, in my opinion, works best.

Our values largely determine our direction, our shared life or family, and, to some extent, our reactions in critical situations.

For example, as a voluntaryist for whom freedom and voluntariness are the most important things, I'd hardly connect with and move forward in life with a communist.

2. Shared Traumas

Very often, people with shared traumas get together. A difficult, complicated relationship with a father or mother, abuse, ridicule, and various kinds of suffering. People with shared traumas understand each other better. They will be closer than, for example, a person with a strong trauma and a person with a relatively happy childhood, who simply cannot understand their partner's problem because they lack the shared traumatic experience.

Paradoxically, when one of the partners deals with their trauma, they may lose what connected them with their partner.

The absence of shared traumas can also be a reason for breakups, because the key bonding element is missing.

3. Shared (Intensive) Past

Not only shared traumas, but also a shared intensive past connect people in relationships and act as relationship glue. Partners can be connected by a shared childhood or past, by intense experiences that are hard to forget.

A shared past (which also includes a shared culture) can be why people from the same country or continent are often closer to each other than those from completely different countries or cultures. But of course, it doesn't have to be.

One explanation for why couples' MDMA therapy works is that it creates a strong, intensive, shared partner experience for a short time, which later functions as relationship glue. We remember being more open during this experience, with significantly reduced defensiveness.

4. Taking Partners "As They Come."

This heuristic is based on the fact that we have limited time in our lives, especially when applying the global maximum strategy. So we "take what life gives us" — a local maximum strategy with a strong time constraint. These are people who, as soon as they break up, find a new partner and continue like this for the rest of their lives. This was the dominant partner selection strategy throughout human history.

5. Poly Relationships

Advocates of poly* relationships skeptically argue that matching two multidimensional vectors that evolve randomly over time is fundamentally impossible. And therefore, multiple parallel relationships and connections with people at different levels are needed.

Poly relationships often require high time and emotional costs (as my good friend says — the optimal number of partners is somewhere between 0 and 1).

The claim to partner exclusivity is, in my opinion, genetically coded in our brains. And the resulting jealousy. Even though, on a rational level, we can, of course, work with it.

The Future — How Technology Will Help Us Find Partners

Over 11 years ago, in an article titled " How Porn Kills Love I described how technologies can lower traditional expectations of partners and improve our relationships on both intellectual and emotional levels. The majority of preferences in current partner searches are sexual attractiveness or the ability to provide economic stability. This may change in the future with growing economic prosperity and AI partners. Women will no longer be economically dependent on men and will no longer require it as a key criterion from men. Similarly, men, thanks to perfect AI sexual fulfillment (which of course also applies to women), will stop requiring physical attractiveness from their partners.

We're witnessing that current LLM models can be more empathetic for women than most men (if not now, then definitely in the future). You can argue that it's "programmed emulation" — a question to ponder, whether in the case of "empathetic men," it's somehow different.

And I've already completely come to terms with that, just as I'll have to come to terms with the fact that our "perfect" sexual partners will probably no longer be humans either.

What Awaits Us in the Future

Better algorithms and methods for more precise partner matching that can significantly shorten the time of the global maximum strategy.

An art project of finding partners based on their shared browser history, or matching partners based on likes or similar preferences (Spotify or Netflix match), could, in the future, define a new way of assessing mutual compatibility across our complex, multidimensional vectors.

Another attribute could be our DNA. A project for matching partners based on their DNA has been running for many years.

Similarly, there are special dating apps for "smart" people, such as Sapios (of course, everyone thinks they're smart).

And of course, it's possible to interconnect and correlate all of this. And expect that slightly "more suitable" partners will emerge from it.

But the key problem with matching our vectors is that the vectors themselves still change over time, so even if AI finds us an ideal partner, it doesn't at all mean they'll be an ideal partner a year from now.

Anthropological Grounding

We will certainly appreciate the help of omnipresent, perfect AI in any area of our personal lives.

But I don't think we'll ultimately be able to connect with AI on a partnership level, even if it may be a more beautiful, intelligent, and perfect being.

In relationships, we will anthropologically prefer humans, despite the many imperfect qualities that define our humanity. Relationships with humans will be the most intimate precisely because of their imperfection.

The situation may, of course, change in the case of humanoid robots that will be indistinguishable from humans both physically and mentally, at which point the above anthropological grounding will no longer apply.

Despite everything, deep inside, we want to be loved by an imperfect human being.

AI - Commentary

I'm in a life phase where I'm automating the lives of people around me to the maximum extent possible.

I'm convinced that there's almost nothing that can be done online that you can do intellectually better than AI.

Almost everything that can be done online, including ultra-specialized work, AI can already do better.

Today I had lunch with my Mexican friend, a lawyer. She conducts anonymous interviews/surveys with employees of Mexican corporations, then evaluates the results to determine whether, in accordance with current Mexican legislation, their human and employee rights are being violated and whether their employers and other employees are treating them ethically.

She evaluates it using a complex methodology, then writes a final report, creates an English presentation, and presents it to the client, a corporation seeking compliance with its internal ethical standards.

1. We ordered lunch.

2. I showed her mobile apps with which we can record employee interviews, with built-in voice recognition and transcription that she can work with immediately.

3. I had AI study the Mexican labor code, all employee rights, and all rules that corporations in Mexico must follow as best practices.

4. I uploaded hundreds of anonymous employee interviews and had AI evaluate them according to the specific methodology used for this. It produced a detailed 40-page report.

5. Then I asked AI to create a professional PowerPoint presentation in English. The quality of the presentation was, of course, higher than what my friend was used to.

6. Then I asked AI to create an audio (MP3) with the voice of my friend, presenting the entire presentation in English.

It generated a half-hour audio presentation in her voice, divided into several parts, including an introduction, a description of the methodology, identified problems, a conclusion, and thanks to the audience.

For a video presentation, I didn't have her visual biometrics.

7. I asked for the lunch bill and paid.

My friend understood that from now on, she can complete her entire two-week job during one lunch.

If the prospect of a future where AI causes mass unemployment scares you...Amid an army of dystopian futurists projecting linear thinking into an "AI uber alles" future, Marc Andreessen stands as a beacon of potential utopian light, seeing a future that looks completely different and very positive for young and old alike.

I also think that thanks to AI, productivity will increase dramatically and prices of practically everything (food, healthcare, etc.) will drop, so the availability of these services will increase even for people who don't have money. I even think that some restaurants or retail chains could, in the future, give away basic food for free (as marketing) due to enormous productivity and automation. At the same time, you'd only pay for its customizations, human service, etc. Similarly, this could work in all other fields.

Andrej Karpathy mapped all job positions in the American economy by their level of AI threat. 342 occupations received a score from 0 to 10. The results are harsh for anyone who works at a screen. Here's what the data shows:

1. 42% of all US jobs scored 7 or higher on the AI threat assessment. That represents 59.9 million jobs. Annual wages worth $3.7 trillion are in the danger zone.
2. Software developers scored 8–9. Financial analysts, accountants, management consultants, and customer service representatives. All in the deep red zone. If your output is text, code, or spreadsheets, you're competing with something that doesn't sleep.
3. The safest jobs? Roofers. Plumbers. Electricians. Construction workers. Nurses. Truck drivers. Jobs that require hands, not keyboards. All scored 0–3.
4. The weighted average of all 143 million US jobs is 4.9 out of 10. The entire economy is at half risk. Not one sector. Not one industry. The entire economy.
5. Education won't protect you. Bachelor's and master's degree holders are at GREATER risk than holders of professional certificates. The more your job is "thought work" done on a computer, the higher your score.

I know that not only is it possible, but I personally know very talented people who are so-called "universal entrepreneurs" - whatever they get into, they'll succeed, whether it's selling cat food, women's underwear, or penetration tests. They know how the market works, can identify hidden opportunities, target the right marketing, and succeed in practically any business.

If you want to be successful and wealthy, you need to learn this rather than rely on handouts from the state or others.

My friend Juraj wrote a novel about what happens when you discover the system was broken by design — and decide to build outside it instead. It's called *Tamers of Entropy*. I was actually with him in New York years ago when some of the seeds of this book were planted — guys wandering Manhattan with laptops, watching the city's invisible infrastructure light up on a screen. The novel follows a small group of people who discover a government backdoor hidden in millions of consumer routers, and instead of filing a report, they go the other way: building hidden valleys outside jurisdiction, infrastructure beyond any state's reach, parallel structures for people who've decided the old world isn't worth reforming. If you're reading this newsletter, you already live some version of that story — the Georgian bank account, the Paraguayan residency, the non-KYC exchange. *Tamers of Entropy* is what that instinct looks like taken all the way to its logical end.
