Unplug. Unlearn. Rebuild.

Straight talk from a 73-year-old man who’s lived it, lost it, and learned what matters.

I’m Fred Ferguson.
Some folks call me GeezerWise.

I’ve been broke, brainwashed, burned out — and born again more times than I can count.
But I’ve also built back better. Smarter. With soul.


Why I Write This Newsletter

I started GeezerWise to teach real things that actually help:

✅ How to use AI without the fluff
✅ How to make money online without selling your soul
✅ How to build something honest in a world full of hype

But here’s the twist…

You can’t teach someone who’s still brainwashed.
You’ve got to un-teach first.

That’s how The Un-Learning Centre was born.

Half of this newsletter is practical: tools, tech, and smart strategies.
The other half? Sniper Snaps — short, sharp truth bombs that cut through noise, grift, cult-thinking, and confusion.


What You Can Expect

You’ll get:

🧠 Wake-up content — deprogram the garbage you’ve been fed
🔧 Real-world skills — build income, meaning, and momentum
🔥 Soul-deep rewrites — rewire your self-talk and ditch the shame

All free.
No fluff.
No bait-and-switch.

I’m not doing this for clicks.
I’m doing this because if I don’t pass this on before I go…
what the hell was the point of surviving it?


If That Hits You Somewhere Deep… You’re Home

Stick around.
You’ll find lessons, laughs, and just enough rebellion to keep it spicy.
