Life, Values & Legacy: Our Chat with Eric Christen of Capital City

We recently had the chance to connect with Eric Christen and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Eric, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: Have you stood up for someone when it cost you something?
Many times. I have a disarming honesty. However, honesty in this world of lies in which we all live is a rare and daring action.
I have often stated on X, for example, that I thought there was no punishment adequate for global traitors like Bill Gates, Fauci et al, Merkel, George Bush, Hillary Clinton, Klaus Schwab, Obama, Tony Blair and George Soros. I have consequently been banned several times from X, which is not really a free speech platform at all, but a rather dull political posting billboard for dumb bots and insufferably boring repetitive political pundits.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Best way is to start with my Creative Consulting website christolides.com. Then read as many of my books as you can on amazon.com. I recommend School 2094, The Impossible Mall, Seventh Heaven, Selling Holes, The Garden Dress and Nobody famous. I am your typical creative genius with all the vision and eclecticism you should expect. The above is proof for those with well above moderate intelligence. I believe that the Arts are bigger, wiser, more ethical. and more creative than the Sciences. I do not have a brand. I am a thousand brands and in my short lifetime, in this retarded society trap we are all stuck in, my innumerable inventions will never be realized. However, I do have several multi-million dollar inventions ready for sale as recorded concepts and/or technical documents.

Okay, so here’s a deep one: Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
I was both a rebel and an innocent explorer. I saw deeply and felt deeply. I saw that magic was a real thing. I trusted nature but not necessarily authority. My father got on my nerves a lot. My mother seemed devious. School, and later university, were a disappointment. I was an explorer and the universe seemed vast and unlimited. I thought I could do anything before I realized society was not a fan of the talented, and was totally unequipped to deal with the multi-talented. It was a pigeon holing machine, unless one was talented in developing weapons of death.

Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Yes, I gave up a career in architecture after I had won two national awards in design, and was still not accepted into the Royal College of Art in London. The Royal College was my destiny, and one of the 5 entry judges didn’t like me. It was then that I realized that there were many serious monsters in the UK who hated anyone with real confidence and glaring talent. That I had experienced this repulsive aspect of the British at high school. One was not allowed to declare ones talent, even though it was self evident. After that I travelled around the world and engaged in design, invention, architecture, art, music, poetry and writing.

So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Where are smart people getting it totally wrong today?
They allow themselves to be tempted by money and power, and so erase their consciences and diminish their talents, if they had any (one can be smart and untalented and visa-versa). They are also susceptible to delusions of status and prestige. The greatest prestige is to be a creative genius with an ethical backbone or a spiritual healer who removes the delusions of society, which is basically an orchestrated prison. Wealth without ethics is garbage.

Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
That I was a visionary who provided brilliant visions into the future of education and the proper use of computers. That I championed, art, nature and ethics above all technology, science, finance and politics etc.
