00:02:29.000Mine's from like 2014 or 2015. I mean, not to be a fucking Apple fanboy, but I will say that when I went in there with it, instead of trying to sell me the new MacBook, she looked at it and was like,
00:05:04.000This is exactly the fucking problem of being interconnected by technology, is that we are paying for the sins of the small percentile of absolute dumbasses on the planet.
00:05:19.000And because of that, you know, anytime I look at a sign, Any sign that's got an obvious thing in it, don't shit in the hot tub or on the roller coaster, don't get out of your seat.
00:05:32.000When I look at that, I think, that's because of dumb, dumb, dumb, because there might be a person who's in the roller coaster who's like, oh, stand up!
00:07:30.000Maybe he means by retweeting surveys, that sucks, because no one wants to see that on their timeline, but I think he meant you're hurting people by demystifying and destigmatizing psychedelics.
00:07:53.000Because I want the explanation because it's like when someone says something like that, it's so terribly, absolutely, impossibly wrong from my reality tunnel that it's like I want to get in their reality tunnel and hear because that guy really believes it.
00:08:49.000And one of the things they do is they demonize all positive experiences that were with the same substance as their negative experience.
00:08:58.000In their fucking crazy head, they've decided because they had a bad trip, every trip is bad.
00:09:04.000The millions of people tripping all over the world, taking mushrooms, finding God and love and companionship and harmony with the universe and acceptance of their mortality, all that doesn't count because Billy couldn't keep his shit together at the Pink Floyd concert because this fucking asshole decided to eat the entire...
00:09:58.000That's definitely something that like in my old age I want to put in like Italics and underlined, that's what you just said.
00:10:07.000Because when I was younger, when you're younger and you are in that evangelical part of your psychedelic life, you can become, like, if you're not careful, ridiculous and irresponsible, and you start throwing out there this, like...
00:10:23.000Idea that is not only fundamentally wrong, it's fundamentally wrong in everything, as far as I'm concerned, which is there's not really one cure to your troubles.
00:10:41.000And it's like, well, it's part of what some people need.
00:10:45.000But if you've got manic depression, for example, if you've got bipolar, you know...
00:10:51.000Dude, I had this moment where some parents came up to me and were, did I tell you about this?
00:10:57.000They came in to talk to me at a show and they were like talking about how their kid liked my podcast and And it was really sad because he had been at one of my podcasts, and I think he'd come on stage to ask a question or something,
00:11:14.000and they were looking for a recording of the live show because they thought maybe they could hear him talk or get some, like, his laughter or something.
00:11:23.000But anyway, what happened was he—I think he had some kind of— Bipolar, I'm not sure what, but one of my friends, Raven, he uses the term gyro.
00:11:35.000His gyro was off a little bit, you know?
00:12:26.000You know, that's like the medicine, right?
00:12:28.000And so it just for some reason, I think some people are de-emphasizing what it means to be healed by a psychedelic or to be worked on by a psychedelic or to enter into that state because it's becoming,
00:13:45.000So I'm just going to have to go with you and watch you pull your penis out and put it into this cup and give me a little sample of your body fluids.
00:15:01.000So if you took psychedelics, and it caused that thumbprint to change a little bit, and that's how they told words, they don't even want to look at your shit.
00:15:18.000But also, if you really think about the fact that we are in a...
00:15:22.000World where people have to go, To work, to do a job that, by the way, man, if there is a dude you need to get on this podcast and there's a book that you would love, David Graeber wrote this book called Bullshit Jobs.
00:15:40.000And this book, Bullshit Jobs, breaks down the phenomena of how many, many people are working in jobs that don't do anything for the world or the company they're working for.
00:15:52.000And it's not like this judgmental thing where he's like, Yeah, that's a bullshit job.
00:16:10.000And companies have gotten so fucking big That they end up having departments or people running departments or extra employees that don't really need to be there at all.
00:16:29.000He writes that if you really want to torture a person, not only give them the job of pouring a glass of water in an empty glass and pouring it back, But then add to it that they have to deceive their boss into thinking that they're doing an important job or they lose their job.
00:16:52.000So not only are these some corporations and companies scanning your piss to see if you're taking a substance that is allowing you to connect with home what you actually are, they're also demanding that you spend many hours a day lying to To them that you're doing work that you're not doing.
00:17:14.000If you're fucking efficient, you know, and this is another thing Graeber writes about.
00:17:19.000Forgive me, David Graeber, if in any way I misconstrue this, I read your writings stoned.
00:17:28.000The other fucking element to it that is absolutely atrocious and fucking horrible is that these substances are connecting us to home.
00:17:40.000They don't want us to be in those states and they're asking us to fucking lie all day.
00:17:50.000It means mind manifesting or soul manifesting, right?
00:17:55.000So a psychedelic connects us potentially with the truth, what we are, our identity, right?
00:18:03.000And these companies, they're asking us to lie, to be the opposite of our identities, to wear a weird suit or some kind of dress code, and to sit in a desk where, because you're efficient, you get your job done in 45 minutes,
00:18:18.000and for the next six hours, you've got to sit and...
00:18:23.000Type and pretend that you're working knowing you're a person and knowing that this is unethical.
00:18:30.000But if you go and tell your boss, hey man, I don't really have much to do.
00:18:40.000In the book, he cites one person, because he did a survey, and he cites one person who went to her boss, and she's like, hey, I can finish my job in two hours.
00:19:21.000What percentage of people are listening right now that are really supposed to be doing some bullshit job?
00:19:27.000And they're kind of sitting in front of their keyboard with earbuds on, just barely paying attention, trying not to get caught looking at porn?
00:20:18.000You couldn't bring your Penthouse, your fucking hustler, to work.
00:20:21.000That's true, but looking at something online is so much easier than going to the store and getting a hustler.
00:20:28.000Like, the access is universal, instantaneous.
00:20:33.000Everyone has the ability to just go and download it.
00:20:36.000You know, if we're gonna, like, ask questions that are impossible to answer, like, how many people right now do you think listening to the podcast are in their bullshit job jerking off to porn while they listen?
00:21:46.000Dude, I don't know why you even have to add the scream to it.
00:21:49.000What I'm saying is just even for a dude, it's a terrible prospect.
00:21:53.000I think it's interesting, too, because when you consider the act of shitting versus the act of jerking off, it's far more repulsive.
00:22:02.000You're expelling foul-smelling toxins from your body into the toilet.
00:22:08.000And if you say to your friend, hey, I gotta go take a shit, man, your friend's probably going to be like, well, you didn't need to tell me that.
00:22:15.000But your friend's not going to be like, whoa, dude, what?
00:22:20.000And yet, jerking off, really, if you think about it, it's like you're giving yourself a hand massage that ends with a little spray of cream coming out.
00:22:57.000It's a gross relationship that the worker has now with the corporation, and it's an unnatural relationship, and it's a relationship that seems to have, like, Do you know what Ari told me?
00:24:35.000I think if I wanted, for whatever reason, to dissuade people from jerking off, I could come up with a way better thing than a dragon to represent it.
00:24:44.000There'd be some other thing, like a...
00:24:51.000What would be like the creature version of a rolled up ball of dried cum that you've thrown next to your bed and someone walks into your bedroom and sees the rolled up ball of dried cum Kleenex and it's just kind of like, that's gross,
00:25:31.000The good thing is sex will be way more pleasurable.
00:25:34.000The bad is it'll be way more desirable.
00:25:38.000So, like, to mitigate your sexual urges so you don't do stupid things and hang out with stupid people and have sex with people you don't really like but you think are hot because you're horny.
00:28:17.000If you're really horny and you sit and watch the feeling itself, it's electrical.
00:28:24.000You can feel it moving around in your body.
00:28:26.000It can almost make you twitchy a little bit.
00:28:29.000It's like a very potent, energetic state.
00:28:34.000Theoretically, the question would be, is there a way to release that energy That isn't through the tip of my dick in the form of DNA. Is there a way for me to release that energy in other ways or is the only way,
00:29:51.000I saw a book just yesterday in one of these boutique stores.
00:29:56.000Someone had made a sarcastic kid's book called The Grown-Up's Guide to Mindfulness.
00:30:00.000And whoever wrote that fucking book hates the word mindfulness.
00:30:05.000Definitely has an obnoxious friend who's into mindfulness because the book is just like a...
00:30:10.000First of all, the guy doesn't seem to really understand what it is in the book.
00:30:14.000He seems a little confused about the nature of it.
00:30:17.000And I remember looking at that and being like, oh, I guess people are getting annoyed with the word mindfulness now, like the pendulum swinging that way.
00:30:26.000Yeah, it's one of those words that people love to say.
00:30:29.000It sounds good, and it makes you seem like a spiritual person.
00:30:34.000When a word gets moved around and used too much, like something happens to a word, it gets icky.
00:30:42.000Because it's like it becomes popular and then people start using it.
00:30:45.000And then you see like a bunch of phony guru type dudes at seminars using it.
00:31:31.000I took on, for lack of a better word, I'm working with an actual teacher of the Kagu lineage of Buddhism, which is like Chogyam Trungpa's lineage of Buddhism, and he's amazing.
00:31:47.000And he's teaching me mindfulness meditation practice, this guy David Nicktern.
00:31:55.000What's cool about him is if you asked him, he would tell you.
00:32:00.000He wouldn't be like, how dare you ask me that question!
00:32:05.000But I think that probably, I can't answer for him, I think it would fall in line with what you're saying with balance, you know, which is that it's really like sort of the concept with it is The thing that's happening right now,
00:32:23.000whatever it may be, you can just apply mindfulness to it.
00:32:29.000You could apply being in the moment and being with the thing that's happening right now.
00:32:34.000And so the thing he's teaching me, I love it so much, dude, because it isn't woo-woo-y or out there or crazy.
00:32:47.000It's a very simple way that you meditate, the way that you sit, which is you sit on a cushion, you put your hands on your knees, and you sit back.
00:32:58.000And the word they use in this Kagu lineage for it is the warrior pose.
00:33:04.000And what that means is that it's a kind of confidence.
00:33:07.000It's the way people who are confident sit.
00:33:10.000So you sit like that when you're meditating, your legs are crossing, you sit in a chair if you want.
00:33:15.000And you look straight ahead, about eight feet, nine feet, and you watch your breath.
00:33:23.000And when you go into your thoughts, which happens, of course, you go, you think, thinking, and then you go back to your breath.
00:34:01.000I don't want to get out there with some nonsense that I'm spending all day long meditating.
00:34:06.000But what you start seeing is When you're doing it, is you realize like, oh, there's a cycle happening in my consciousness, in my mind.
00:34:16.000There's a cycle that's happening in my life, which is that I kind of blink into the moment, following the breath, and I blink out of the moment into the thought realm, right?
00:34:31.000We're not thinking about the next thing we're going to say.
00:34:34.000We're not thinking about the next thing we're going to do.
00:34:35.000We're just here in this moment, and then bloop, We're off, you know, off and running, like thinking about the bills, thinking about the girl, thinking about the thing, thinking about that, and then that leads to another thought and another thought.
00:34:47.000Next thing you know, you've been thinking for three years straight, you know what I mean?
00:34:53.000Or three minutes or five hours or whatever, and then you come back.
00:35:01.000So mindfulness Is starting to pay attention to that cycle.
00:35:09.000And the breathing thing is kind of like a respiratory mnemonic device, which is that suddenly what's been happening to me now is I'll just be like walking down the street and then notice my breath.
00:35:35.000But he's just teaching me the basic shit right now.
00:35:37.000It does, I think, get pretty interesting.
00:35:39.000On my own, thinking about my own life and observing other people's lives, I've come up with this thing that I bring up all the time, the momentum of your past.
00:35:48.000Like, so many people, as they're going down the street, so many people, as they're interacting with people, they're carrying the momentum of all the fucked up things that are going on.
00:35:59.000Bills that they have to pay, and things that they forgot to do, and a career they never chase, and a girl they never called back, and a thing that they like.
00:37:01.000Everybody has moments like that in their life.
00:37:03.000The more you avoid those and don't take credit for the ones that you actually fucked up, the more you actually hurt yourself in this ironic thing because it seems like you're protecting yourself.
00:37:13.000No, I'm exonerating myself from guilt.
00:37:20.000So in your head, you're the guy who lies about making mistakes instead of you're the guy who mans up to your mistakes, realizes it was a mistake, and then vows to do better.
00:38:25.000He's gonna mature and eventually he's gonna be a solid man.
00:38:28.000But you get to a certain age, we just give up on you.
00:38:30.000We're just like, you're still alive, but you've passed the cycle that I usually enjoy people to be ready to like sort of interact as valuable, creative, loving members of society.
00:38:46.000This is shit you're supposed to do when you're 17. By the time you're 70, you're supposed to be going, oh my god, I don't have much time left.
00:38:53.000Oh my god, what have I done while I'm here?
00:40:08.000We have a tendency towards a certain thing.
00:40:10.000We have proclivities and tendencies and habituations.
00:40:13.000And if you just kind of like, if you put you and me in a room and put a bunch of different objects on the floor, right?
00:40:21.000You're gonna go towards something, and I'm gonna go towards something else, right?
00:40:25.000You know, if there's fucking VR goggles in a goddamn badass, like some kind of badass compound bow manufactured at fucking DARPA, you know what I mean?
00:40:37.000And there's VR goggles manufactured by DARPA. I don't know.
00:40:53.000So that thing that you've got right now, when you begin to really look at it and think about it, You could ask yourself, when did this start, this momentum, right?
00:41:04.000When did these proclivities and tendencies and things that I'm being, like, sort of pushed towards, when did they start?
00:41:12.000And a lot of it is, you know, your parents taught you certain things, but...
00:41:15.000Well, let's talk about a super common one that's horrible, cigarettes.
00:42:18.000And in that field, anytime you like exercise or do something, you know, decide instead of eating the fucking ice cream, you're going to eat the seaweed chips or like anytime you do that, you could just imagine.
00:42:29.000Obviously, it's not the way it works exactly, but you could think I'm planting a seed in this field, right?
00:42:34.000So If I keep planting certain types of seeds in any type of field, and I cultivate those seeds, they're going to grow into something, right?
00:42:45.000So for a person, when the cancer comes, when the muscles come, when the failure comes, when the success comes...
00:42:56.000If you look at that moment, you realize this is actually the flowering of a thing that's been growing for a very long time inside of me or in the world or in time.
00:43:46.000So, yeah, man, that's like cigarette smoking, any kind of behavior that, like, is risky or over time produces some kind of negative result.
00:43:59.000And so the momentum you're experiencing right now is the sum total of all those fucking seeds that you planted and that were planted inside of you over the course of your life.
00:44:13.000You're like a walking field of karma at varying stages of growth, growing varying types of vegetations.
00:44:21.000And some are good and some are bad, but it's like that's what you are right now.
00:44:26.000And what's beautiful about that is that means that you can start cultivating that field.
00:44:32.000You don't have to just let it grow wild and pretend every time you smoke a cigarette or do some stupid shit, you're like an unconscious farmer.
00:45:54.000Like how many of those people in their portfolio that they barely know about, they're like, well, you know, like a really big investment these days is gene therapy for cancer.
00:47:00.000Kudzu is a plant that was introduced from Japan, I think from Japan, into the South.
00:47:05.000And it's just a growing wheat vine that when it wraps around trees and it covers them up completely so the trees can't get any sun and the trees just die.
00:47:17.000Yeah, it wasn't native to the United States.
00:47:19.000So sometimes, I don't know, maybe they took care of kudzu, but when I was a kid, you would drive by these beautiful forests where the trees were just covered in fucking kudzu.
00:49:17.000So that's like a really funny thing that like alcoholics will get their alcoholism wound up in their social life or like their creativity, their creative cycle.
00:49:28.000So they will think like, fuck, man, without the booze, I don't think I'm going to be able to write as well.
00:49:34.000Or, you know, whatever it is, like, mostly it's just people have this, a really smart way to avoid getting healthier or the learning curve associated with getting healthier.
00:49:48.000And it's a really intelligent trick to play on yourself, which is to imagine that, you know, whatever it may be that's currently out of balance in your life, if you remove that, You're not going to be able to be as good as a person.
00:50:02.000There's a lot of alcoholics out there, performers who think, oh, if I don't drink, I've got to have a beer on stage, man.
00:50:11.000Where it gets hardcore is when it's actually fucking wrapped up in the art publicly.
00:50:20.000I don't know if you're aware of this rapper who died named Lil Peep.
00:51:27.000I don't remember who said that, but it's like, yeah, it's like, you know, you become this, like, character or something like that, and the next thing you know, your fucking addiction is, like, just riding you around like a horse, whispering in your ear, without me,
00:51:42.000you won't know where to go, and now you're fucked, you're fucked, yeah.
00:51:46.000I'm your comfort blanket when you're all alone.
00:51:50.000When you're drinking alone in your hotel room, ooh, dark.
00:51:54.000That's dark, but then when you get into it, too, when you're not just drinking alone, but you're like...
00:53:46.000I don't know if it's true or not, but obviously it's probably not true.
00:53:49.000But I got this crazy idea that, like...
00:53:52.000And again, with you, I could just say this, and I don't have to preface it, but since people listen to your podcast, I have to preface it by saying, I do not believe this.
00:55:19.000There's something more important than money.
00:55:22.000That's to really be very reductive about it.
00:55:24.000But some version of that story that usually involves some kind of Desire to no longer harm people or to reduce suffering or to be a better person or however you want to put it, right?
00:55:37.000So there's a dam that's been built and the dam It's built by the people who scan your piss for LSD. It's people who have created an intentional, legal obstruction between one realm and the other,
00:55:56.000which is the realm, mechanical hyperspace, in the realm that we're currently existing in, which is where there's a lot of scientific materialism, where people only believe that there is only matter here.
00:56:13.000I used to think of them as gatekeepers.
00:56:16.000Now I think of them as dam builders, right?
00:56:18.000And what happens is, from time to time, a big crack in the dam opens up, right?
00:56:24.000That's when someone like fucking Martin Luther King appears and is standing in front of so many people telling them, I think that We're all the same, is what I think.
00:57:21.000It's like you can't seal the fucking dam anymore.
00:57:24.000And the singularity that McKenna was talking about, the apocalypse, which actually means lifting of the veil, What that is, is when the dam reaches Like a point where the structural integrity has been permanently compromised and the DMT realm flows into this dimension in the form of some kind of technology that either unifies all of us or like rips a hole literally into whatever that membrane is that separates us
00:58:36.000This whole thing of you exploring hyper-dimensional space and all that stuff, all that does is make you stupider, and you show up at work, and you're less disciplined, and you're not interested in getting the job done, okay?
00:58:50.000This company is built on teamwork, okay?
00:58:53.000And it's built on everyone pulling their weight.
00:58:55.000Now, if you're off fucking off in hyperspace from Friday night to Sunday morning, and you barely get six hours sleep over the weekend, you show up Monday, I'm going to test your piss.
00:59:31.000Professor David Nutt, of course, has since, I think, been disbarred in somewhere and accrued some kind of horrible punishment for being an advocate for psychedelics.
00:59:40.000But anyway, sir, forgive me, but if you'll notice on this chart, psilocybin is considered the least I'm not interested in harmful, sir.
01:00:12.000Because the people in the factory over here didn't kick ass, okay?
01:00:16.000They're over in the fucking park taking their magic mushrooms and tripping balls when they should be thinking about how they keep this company active.
01:00:24.000This company feeds and houses 150 families.
01:00:56.000You don't realize this, but you're kind of a low-level priest in a religion that is spread far and wide, and in this religion – It's not really the money that you're interested in as much as it is the power,
01:01:11.000because you've become a servant of a being called the Demiurge, which is essentially attempting to create a sort of authoritarian hierarchy in this particular dimension that's been separated from another place known as the Galactic You can call it whatever the fuck you want,
01:01:32.000It's a galactic civilization that is about to pour into this civilization.
01:01:38.000And so it really doesn't matter what you do because within the next 20 or 30 years through technology and through the unification of people because of that technology, you're going to either come to our side or go completely insane.
01:01:53.000Okay, the counter to that, of course, is the only way you're gonna get there, you fucking lazy hippies, is if we make you go to work!
01:02:01.000And we get shit done, and you buy things, and you keep this fucking country's economy healthy.
01:02:06.000That way the technology innovates, that way we make the hyperspace gateway.
01:02:11.000You lazy fucking hippies tripping balls on your lawn furniture, you're not creating shit, okay?
01:02:17.000You show up for work on time, you get the job done, eventually we'll get our portal.
01:02:46.000During the Industrial Revolution, they put clock towers up so that people always knew what time it was so they wouldn't be late for going to work in a factory, you see.
01:02:56.000There was a time when people weren't, like, obsessed with their fucking watch because the idea that you could sell time...
01:03:06.000You think you and I have entered into a contract where for some ridiculous reason I've agreed to sell you eight hours of time, my time per day.
01:06:50.000Dude, what's great about this game is not just the graphics, which are incredible, or the fight mechanics, which are also incredible, but the fucking story is really good, and the acting is really good, and the relationships between characters are really intense.
01:07:34.000Most games, the way I've played video games, is I try to rush through it for some reason, which is really dumb, to be like, oh, I gotta win this thing.
01:08:26.000And anything you do, even things you love, I know, become grueling.
01:08:30.000But I think that example of a company versus a company where you're, like, either doing something that you don't even need to be there to do.
01:08:43.000I mean, it might be massive hours a day, but I bet you're having a great time a lot of the time, and the actual result's insane.
01:08:50.000You know, I was friends with a lot of those guys from id Software back in the Quake 2 days, and played Quake 3. I got to play Quake 3 before it ever came out.
01:09:18.000When they were putting that together and they were putting together this new engine that wound up being used in a bunch of different games afterward.
01:09:48.000And, you know, I mean, what they did was...
01:09:53.000If you've never played one of those games before, the three-dimensional games when you're running down, you hear things over here behind you, and you can turn around and sneak around corners, and people are chasing around the map, and sometimes you can walk and it doesn't make any noise,
01:10:09.000or you can run and you can hear the footsteps.
01:15:41.000And then, like, from that you get pulled into, like, Pythagoras, you know?
01:15:45.000And then suddenly you're, like, reading, like, shit by Pythagoras, who, like, had another great quote, which is, do not take the roads traveled by the public.
01:15:58.000But anyway, the point is, like, Because I've been studying the modular synthesizer, now when I sit down and play guitar, I'm a little better at it.
01:16:09.000But then where it gets fucking weird is, when I sit down and play like God of War, I'm a little better at that too.
01:16:17.000And then when I'm thinking about cutting tomatoes, for example, something really basic, and the pressure I'm exerting to cut the tomato versus the sharpness of the knife, I think about music, and I think about, whoa, in a weird way,
01:17:18.000Like what you were saying, if you're a 20-year-old, people expect you to be learning something, this or that.
01:17:28.000But when you're in your 40s, you could trick yourself into thinking like, I don't need to learn how to do anything anymore.
01:17:36.000And then you're basically turning down all the lights in your life, because when you start working on something, This is why I was going to ask you, man.
01:18:01.000I think that we do that with video games because at one point in time they were just Pong and then they were Mario Brothers and they were silliness and fun.
01:18:10.000You get the mushroom and have a good time.
01:18:22.000You're swinging that axe and switching to the spear and doing this and jumping there and chopping this dude in half and getting away from the guy with the fucking flying log he's throwing at you.
01:18:34.000The idea that this is totally useless seems stupid.
01:18:38.000Yeah, so I think that potentially through anything...
01:18:43.000The problem with video games is you can play them and actually not get better at them because you just are slashing and pressing buttons and shit.
01:18:51.000You can focus, but I think when your attention and focus gets put on improving anything, Like, theoretically, I imagine if you just started working on drawing a circle, or drawing like a perfect circle,
01:19:08.000and just spent day after day working on that pursuit, sounds insane.
01:19:14.000Like, you'd look crazy to your friends.
01:19:15.000But potentially, Other shit in your life, you'd start improving at too.
01:19:22.000Your mind gets a little sharper, maybe.
01:19:24.000Maybe it's just some kind of neurogenesis or something.
01:19:28.000For sure, your brain is very, very active when you're playing a video game.
01:19:32.000You know, I know when I would play Quake, my hands would get so sweaty that I would put antiperspirant on my hands.
01:19:38.000I would spray antiperspirant all over my hands and then I would blow on them to keep them from getting so sweaty because my fingers would barely, they would slip around all over the keyboard.
01:20:36.000Yeah, I was going to say, wait, see, the ones now, there's a button on it, you can switch mid-game depending on what you're doing or what you need.
01:20:41.000You can set up your DPI from up to 8,000, 10,000, 16,000, down to 200, 100. I wonder why you would need it slower.
01:20:51.000There's some games, like, you don't need to be moving that much.
01:20:54.000It might be a sniper, so you need very small adjustments, and you can make big moves with your hands and have still a small adjustment.
01:21:00.000Yeah, some guys, when the adrenaline would kick in, they would like a slow mouse speed and a big mouse pad, and they would move the pad around like that, and they felt more precise that way than they were with a small pad and a high speed.
01:21:12.000Because some guys used to, like, do little wrist flicks with, like, super high speed, and you would try their mouse.
01:21:17.000You'd be like, hey, man, Can I try your setup?
01:21:19.000Because everybody's setup is different.
01:21:20.000And I would try their setup and be like, Jesus, how do you even concentrate?
01:22:50.000You're going to do some early game bailing rush?
01:22:54.000You know when people would get super mad when their fucking connection would time out and they would be stuck in the game and you'd fuck them up?
01:23:01.000They'd be stuck frozen and you'd just light them up.
01:23:04.000You know, like, sometimes you'd use your smallest gun and just slowly pick away their health.
01:23:17.000There was some video that popped up of that new game, Fortnite Everybody's Playing, and it was on Reddit.
01:23:23.000It was like the worst Fortnite player ever because it's someone who clearly got up to go get chips, and the dude's shooting at them and can't hit a still person.
01:23:55.000I like sitting down, picking some basic thing about music, figuring out one little thing about a module, one of my synths and what it does and understanding it and then like unfolding that into something bigger.
01:24:12.000Whereas like if I sit down and play God of War, You know, that's also going to lead to ours.
01:24:17.000But at the end of it, I'm going to know more about a story.
01:24:20.000Whereas the other one, I'm going to know a little bit more about math and like how sound works in general, which is a fascinating thing altogether.
01:24:35.000I think there's a hierarchy in elevated passion levels.
01:24:39.000It's like, what are you passionate about?
01:24:41.000Say if you were doing something and you were very apathetic about it, but then there was this other thing that you did that once you started...
01:24:49.000For some people, the World Cup was on today.
01:24:52.000I went to get a cup of coffee and they had the World Cup on.
01:25:02.000But for them, there was clearly, and for the world, for all the people watching in the stands, there's an elevated level of passion for that.
01:25:08.000Now, if that was your thing, I would say, maybe you could be a commentator, or maybe you could be a player, or maybe you could be someone who produces one of those soccer shows or something like that.
01:26:22.000And, you know, no aspirations for comedy at all.
01:26:25.000And his cousin was Billy Downs, who was one of the owners of the Comedy Connection in Boston.
01:26:31.000So his cousin was a former comedian who owned a comedy club and just randomly became friends with him from an ad on, like, you know, like one of those newspaper ads for a job seeking a private investigator's assistant.
01:26:45.000I'm like, that sounds like a cool job.
01:26:56.000And he was always the guy that if a bunch of people were saying around, he would say something totally ridiculous, look you in the eye and say it, and everybody would be laughing.
01:28:49.000Most of the time he worked for insurance companies.
01:28:51.000Most of the time it was like, say if you were married and you were a woman and you had a different maiden name, you would get injured on the job and then you would start using your maiden name and take a job on the side while you're getting workman's compensation.
01:29:05.000Yeah, and they would have to leave their jobs.
01:29:07.000People would leave their jobs super early in the morning.
01:29:09.000So we would camp out in front of people's houses where we would get there at 4 o'clock in the morning When everybody's asleep, we'd sit in the car across the street, and we'd wait.
01:30:19.000Say if your license plate number, he would write down your license plate number and then write down one that was really close to it and write down another one that was really close to that.
01:30:29.000They'd say, I hate to bother you, but my girlfriend was in a car accident, and the police report where they had the witness's driver's license number, some coffee got spilt on the report, and they don't know exactly what the license number is.
01:33:10.000Like you want to create a version of that woman where like inside she didn't feel at least a little bad, a little bitter, a little weak, a little off balance.
01:33:58.000I would have never been a good private investigator.
01:34:01.000I feel like a lot of those people, and I was 20 at the time, 21 at the time, at the most, 21 I think.
01:34:12.000At that time, I was really well aware of like...
01:34:18.000The neighborhood where my grandparents grew up in, and being around them, and being around my parents who grew up in the 60s, and then my grandparents who grew up...
01:34:29.000I mean, they were here in the Depression.
01:34:31.000And there was a different attitude about opportunity.
01:35:31.000And Dolan ethically had to turn her in because if he didn't, he would be guilty of stealing from the person who was giving him money to do the job.
01:35:44.000Yeah, but the main problem with stealing Like, you know, sometimes I've been hanging out with people, you leave a grocery store, and somehow they didn't charge for, like, I don't know, a bottle of water or whatever.
01:35:59.000Like, they didn't see it in the car, right?
01:36:02.000And the people, some people are like, yeah!
01:36:09.000And, like, man, I think those people are unaware of this, like, weird law in the universe, which is that you seem to, like, have to – you get shit back times three, it feels like, maybe a little bit more than that.
01:36:26.000So, like, if you steal a $2 bottle of water – now, this is my superstition – You're gonna end up paying like at least six bucks for that bottle of water in some other way.
01:37:25.000You don't have to talk about me like I'm not here.
01:37:26.000I just don't want to fucking embarrass you, man, because it's like, you know, a lot of, you know, I don't want to, but the main thing is like...
01:37:38.000But I think also there's another side to it that is more than just like the feeling you get of knowing you've been generous and you're not that attached to money.
01:37:54.000So if they feel good, if someone gives you a $100 tip for a fucking cup of coffee or something, they get this feeling like, holy shit!
01:38:02.000All of a sudden, a beautiful feeling out of a normal situation, just a normal interaction.
01:38:07.000I give you this, and you give me that, and I say thank you, and I go.
01:38:10.000Well, in that normal interaction, all of a sudden, boom, you get this beautiful gift from a stranger that didn't have to do that for no reason at all.
01:39:00.000And conversely, weird moments that I've had where people that are distracted and they're looking at their phone, they're not paying attention.
01:39:07.000Like, look at this fucking dummy that almost ran into me.
01:39:39.000Those, man, those spread, that person might do it to the next person they meet, and then boom, everybody's saying hi to everybody, everybody's hugging everybody.
01:39:48.000We talk about this probably every time, because we both agree that this is like, probably, if there was going to be a non-violent revolution...
01:39:58.000In this country that wasn't based on voting, it's going to start with that.
01:40:06.000And the thing I'm being taught is like that thing you're talking about, it can be cultivated and like refined.
01:40:14.000So you can sort of – that's why it's called a practice.
01:40:17.000Like when you're sitting and you're watching your breath and you're learning how to be in the moment – Instead of thinking, I'm doing this for this reason or that.
01:40:27.000I'm doing this because when I'm talking to somebody, they're going to think I'm spiritual.
01:40:31.000I'm doing this because I want to be more focused.
01:40:33.000I'm doing this because I have an anxiety disorder.
01:40:35.000I'm doing this because of this or that.
01:40:38.000But there's another reason to do it, which is that if you get really good at being in the moment with people, and also when you're sitting with yourself, And learning who you are, you have to start applying a lot of compassion to yourself because you're gonna sit,
01:40:56.000man, and some shit's gonna float to the surface of the stream that you wish had stayed under some rocks, man.
01:41:02.000You're gonna see not just shit that's been done to you, But you're going to see shit that you've done to other people.
01:41:09.000And you're going to have to deal with that, right?
01:41:11.000And the way to deal with that is not to do like, I don't know if you do this at all, but sometimes I will remember something from when I was very young and be like, you fucking dick.
01:41:37.000And like, so that's like the opposite of compassion for the self, right?
01:41:42.000So anyway, the point is, if you can like sort of cultivate compassion for who you are right now, that's not to say Use that as an excuse to not try to become a kinder person, but I'm saying cultivate compassion for the fact that like,
01:41:59.000man, your dad had PTSD and your fucking folks got divorced when you were three and your dad remarried An abusive woman who hated your fucking guts for seven fucking years and she did some really bad things to you over the course of that time that you were way too young to...
01:42:26.000You had no way to deal with that and now...
01:42:30.000When you're in your 20s or your 30s, you're realizing that you seem to be kind of a selfish cunt.
01:42:36.000And it's like, well, yeah, the reason you're being a selfish, quote, cunt is because you had to build up a very high-powered...
01:42:46.000Defense mechanism to deal with the fact that you were abused for almost a decade when your brain was forming more neurons than it ever will at any other point in its life.
01:42:56.000And now we can start having compassion for ourselves.
01:42:58.000Instead of thinking I'm a selfish cunt, we could think Oh, I've got too big a force field up.
01:43:07.000I've developed a thing to protect me from an environment that I'm no longer in.
01:43:12.000And then the point is, once you start becoming compassionate to yourself, that's when you run into the person who's being a selfish cunt.
01:43:23.000Who you can look at and say, oh, I see you.
01:44:48.000But don't live in this world of 20 years ago or 30 years ago or whatever that one instance where you wish you didn't say this one thing to some person or hit some person or drive your car where you shouldn't.
01:46:02.000But this feeling would haunt me for months for months I'd be doing other things and I would think of rear-ended that car not paying attention fucking up the front because it wasn't even like an accident It was like I left my foot off the gas and I just slammed into somebody because I wasn't paying attention Yeah,
01:48:17.000And your whole life to rationalize the fact that sometimes...
01:48:22.000Big people are crazy and slap little people.
01:48:26.000You try to apply some logic to the act itself, right?
01:48:32.000Now, that's a heavy burden to carry because if you think you're a bad five-year-old, you're probably going to think you're a bad 30...
01:48:38.000God knows you're going to think you're a bad 35-year-old with all the crazy shit you can do when you're 35. So it's like that mentality of...
01:48:49.000Looking back on our former self and hating it is the very same reason that we hate others.
01:50:22.000Last night my daughter was upset at something.
01:50:25.000She got into a little tift with one of her friends.
01:50:27.000Super upset and really, she thought her friend was being mean and just didn't, you know, trying to deal with it.
01:50:34.000We went to the garage and I said, let's just go, we'll work out, you'll feel better.
01:50:39.000And I put the pads on and we started moving around, started throwing some kicks and punches, started breaking a sweat, really getting into it.
01:51:58.000You know, there's also the idea that there's parts of your body that retain memory, not just your brain, but there's neurons in your body and perhaps they retain memory.
01:52:21.000Maybe if those are your memories and your database of collective emotional ideas, if there's really something to that, like, maybe it's not just in the brain area, but also in the heart area and in all the neurons, maybe we just think because our consciousness resides in the brain that all of our memories reside there as well and that they're not in various areas of our body.
01:54:08.000You can't decide they're gonna be a doctor or decide they're gonna be a lawyer or decide they're gonna be whatever the fuck you want them to be.
01:54:15.000We're all so different and you are literally robbing a kid Of their future if you over influence their choice making in terms of like not following their passion or their dream or their ideas.
01:57:46.000Now, I always associated that with like when the baby's born.
01:57:52.000There must be some serotonin or dopamine that gets released, not just in the woman.
01:57:56.000We know the woman's brain is flooded with oxytocin and a variety of things, the mother, the bonding chemicals.
01:58:03.000But, you know, I thought, well, that clearly would happen for the father, maybe just not in the same level.
01:58:07.000So when people say it's psychedelic, that must be what they mean.
01:58:11.000But now I know, you know, the birth hasn't happened yet, but just being in the presence of a person who's growing a life inside of their belly And realizing that the bonding that's happening there and the sacred duty is coming up of you being a father and that a soul is coming into this dimension that is going to be completely dependent on you.
01:58:39.000And my wife, of course, wanting to keep her safe.
01:58:43.000Man, the combination of all these things is so incredibly psychedelic in the most beautiful way and so humbling because it's like, boy, oh boy, did I fucking tell myself that I'd figured out something really smart.
01:59:21.000Obviously I wasn't using that voice but like it was such a pretentious Fucking pompous, ridiculous place that I was standing at, which is to judge people for reproducing.
01:59:40.000Enjoying the ability to judge because my parents reproduced, you know what I mean?
01:59:45.000So it's so humbling to realize like, oh, I was wrong.
02:00:30.000And it's love where you know you're going to be able to love your children unconditionally in a very strange way that we really have a hard time with other people.
02:00:38.000And I think the thing about it is not just that you're bringing a life into this world which is very psychedelic, but that your love bond with this kid is so ultimate.
02:01:24.000And it's not just the love of this kid or the love of yourselves, the two together and the family together and all the other people that you love.
02:03:49.000I mean, it really is a Ridley Scott film.
02:03:51.000For sure, if you were living in the 1950s and someone brought you to 2018 and picked you up from the airport in a Tesla, you're on a plane.
02:04:20.000Driving around to all these different places and you see the mass of humans and the architecture change and people would freak the fuck out.
02:04:40.000And the worst aspects of it, some of the chaos and the social upheaval and the infighting between people, people getting kicked out of restaurants.
02:04:52.000You see Maxine Waters telling people that if you find people that work for the Trump administration, you find them in a restaurant, you find them anywhere.
02:05:00.000You go and you get together a group of people, you build a crowd, and you let them know that you don't agree with their policies.
02:05:10.000We're calling for gangs of people randomly in the street to interrupt people's meals, interrupt people in stores, get a crowd together, don't let them be safe in public because you disagree with their policies.
02:07:18.000And also, people who, like, fantasize about a civil war, I don't know if they've really thought it out all the way, like, what that looks like.
02:07:46.000Well, I mean, because he wants to fucking be in a goddamn civil war.
02:07:50.000But, you know, for me, when I see shit like that going down, I... See, I've like come up with like, I didn't come up with, I got it from the fucking Dalai Lama,
02:08:06.000but I've come up with like a good little equation to go back to, which is, does this reduce suffering, right?
02:08:15.000So like, and I don't think it reduces suffering.
02:08:19.000And these people who are really upset, On both sides of the fence are suffering.
02:08:25.000We're really looking at a world where a lot of people are deeply upset and deeply suffering and really scared and really, really, really freaking the fuck out.
02:08:37.000And as I've been watching this thing emerge on the internet, on Twitter, where people tweet things that paint...
02:08:48.000You look at it and you think, It's almost as though you're living in another world than I am.
02:08:54.000The world that you're talking about Man, it's fucking terrifying.
02:09:04.000And maybe the reason I think that is because I started doing LSD when I was 16. So when I was 16, I became brutally aware of the fact that the current government and the past government Was repressive.
02:09:27.000And something about that drug, which I don't do anymore, because it's illegal.
02:09:34.000But something about that drug really shows you the conditioning, right?
02:09:40.000And so I knew From a pretty young age, I was like, oh wow, I don't think the United States is dropping bombs on other countries because of justice or some threat.
02:09:52.000It appears to be that some people are making money off of this shit.
02:09:56.000And I don't think these drugs are illegal because they're bad for you.
02:10:00.000I think they're illegal because somebody doesn't want the...
02:10:12.000I had this conversation with Hamilton Morris yesterday and he strongly disagrees because he's talked to the people actually in the DEA. He's talked to the people in drug enforcement.
02:10:22.000That what really is happening is they have zero experience with these drugs, but they know these drugs are illegal, and so they pursue it as if it's a viable target.
02:10:31.000And we talked about it in terms of the real problem with law enforcement being that it's a game.
02:10:35.000I've always said that the real problem with cops is not cops.
02:10:38.000The real problem with cops is human nature.
02:11:13.000So a person has a tendency, then a group of people might have a tendency.
02:11:16.000For example, if I get a group of Swedish people together, and I bring them to the World Cup, they're going to have the tendency to cheer for Sweden, right?
02:11:26.000I'm going to bet on that and gamble on that.
02:11:35.000Then you think back to the way all your other bosses acted and you realize like, wait, there seems to be a tendency when people are in that position of power to behave in a certain way, right?
02:12:18.000I'm working harder than I've ever worked in my fucking life because I want to make sure that there's plenty for her and plenty for the kid and something kicks in.
02:12:50.000And so when you're taking a psychedelic, And you look around and you realize, oh, I see.
02:12:56.000The government, though, it's filled with people who are wonderful.
02:13:00.000There are people in the fucking DEA who listen to your show and guaranteed love the show and are like, you're fucking right, man.
02:13:06.000I don't want to enforce these goddamn laws arresting people for a thing that is like being shown not only to be harmless, but potentially therapeutic.
02:13:15.000There's people in all branches of government, and there's some people who just need a job, and maybe there's some assholes in there.
02:13:20.000Well, there's some people that want to bust crack dealers.
02:13:22.000They want to bust assholes that are killing people.
02:13:25.000They happen to also be drug dealers, and this is part of the job.
02:14:12.000Well, we don't know what all the shit that probably happened with Obama, but we do know with Obama, and I remember hearing this and then looking it up and then looking it up again.
02:14:22.000He apparently deported – in fact, maybe please find out if I'm wrong about this so I don't have to deal with 7 billion people calling me a fucking motherfucker for the rest of my life.
02:14:31.000But apparently he deported more people than any – than all American presidents combined his administration did, right?
02:15:24.000About the fear that we're seeing and the hyper reaction is, if there is anything great about it, is that people are waking up to the fact that our government right now, the American government, is out of balance.
02:15:38.000We've been at war for 90% of our history, right?
02:15:42.000And there's a lot of shit going on in there that doesn't need to be going on.
02:16:01.000But when I was like 18 or 17, looking at a fucking dollar bill, tripping balls, looking at that fucking green pyramid and the weird symbols, and then thinking like, wait a minute.
02:16:13.000This is covered with occult symbology.
02:16:42.000But I guess what I'm saying is like, if there is something positive about...
02:16:46.000And the mobs of people doing this or that are the hyper outrage, almost as though we're looking at an immune response that's kind of going overboard, right?
02:16:59.000But if there's something positive in it, it's that it seems that huge swaths of people are becoming familiar with the machinations of the American empire and understanding that here's how it's working right now.
02:17:15.000Well, not only that, this illusion that it worked far differently when Obama was in office.
02:17:22.000Have you seen that video where Obama was running for president and he started talking about how to deal with immigration and immigration policies?
02:17:34.000The way he's talking about it, it sounds like someone running for a conservative position now.
02:17:40.000It's not like this democratic socialist idea of eliminating ICE. You know, there's a lot of people that their idea is that immigration, customs enforcement, those people are monsters, and we should eliminate the position, we shouldn't have it anymore, and we should have open borders.
02:17:54.000And those same people would love to have Obama in office.
02:17:58.000You know, they would think that it would be great if Obama was here.
02:18:01.000Boy, it was so much better when Obama was here.
02:18:38.000Or a dude with one of those, like, square mustaches.
02:18:40.000We all agree on the need to better secure the border and to punish employers who choose to hire illegal immigrants.
02:18:48.000You know, we are a generous and welcoming people here in the United States, but those who enter the country illegally and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law.
02:19:18.000I've looked up that Obama has deported more people than any American president, but we have to be very careful these days, because if you look, his lips aren't tracking...
02:22:28.000And by not respecting this community and not Really concentrating on the way people behave and think rather than what they own or what their job title is or what degree they have.
02:22:42.000Instead of concentrating on one of the things that's most important for us is the way we interact with each other.
02:22:48.000We have created this issue where now that everyone has a word in, You've got all these broken people chiming in, throwing in insult bombs.
02:22:59.000And look, any time a woman is in the news who does something remotely questionable, the cholera cunt brigade comes out in full force on Twitter.
02:23:09.000And it's all these fake accounts and eggs, and some people in real accounts just want attention, and they just attack.
02:23:29.000Somebody did a terrible job raising a man.
02:23:31.000They got him to this position where there's this broken bundle of emotions and memories, and they're all fucked up with no self-esteem.
02:23:38.000And they find some little target online, whatever it is, and fuck You Duncan Trussell, you fucking sellout faggot, and next thing you know, they're attacking you, and you might just be about to go to the movies with your wife.
02:23:48.000And you read that, like, what the fuck is this guy's problem, man?
02:24:17.000We're going to get through this and reach a much higher level of understanding of each other and a higher level of understanding of community.
02:24:25.000This is why all these school shootings are happening and all this chaos and people driving trucks into crowds and shit.
02:24:31.000It's because people are feeling out of this project of civilization and culture.
02:24:37.000They feel horribly suicidal and depressed and confused and hateful and angry.
02:24:42.000And they're filled up with chemicals and pharmaceuticals and loneliness and despair and anger and resentment and religious fervor and whatever the fuck.
02:24:52.000What the fuck else is pushing them through this life?
02:24:59.000We've got to take away the tools of explosion.
02:25:01.000No, you've got to figure out why people are exploding.
02:25:04.000How come no one is concentrating on why people are exploding?
02:25:09.000The women want to go, oh, it's toxic masculinity.
02:25:11.000And the men want to go, we're raising pussies.
02:25:13.000And nobody wants to figure out what the fuck it is.
02:25:16.000And they just hope that it doesn't happen again.
02:25:18.000And then it happens again, and the argument starts up.
02:25:20.000And Ted Nugent calls everybody a cuck, and the people that want the guns taken away, they all fucking storm in, and they demand, and they shriek in front of the senator's house at 2 o'clock in the morning.
02:25:47.000It's one of the most important things about being a person.
02:25:49.000You've got to wait until you get to be 30 and you take a fucking Anthony Robbins seminar and try to get your shit together with some voodoo preacher down in Malibu that's doing some rock and roll church Christian thing.
02:25:59.000And all the cool people go, I want to go and sing along.
02:27:23.000So it's like in all that chaos that you just described, where like you see the thing and you realize like whatever it may be, the thing, the school shooting, the immigration, the bus, the whatever, and you really – you get this – Sad feeling.
02:27:50.000When fear gets hot, it turns into anger.
02:27:53.000So you're going to be angry because you're scared.
02:27:56.000And then you start firing these shots online.
02:28:00.000And the entire time you're doing that...
02:28:03.000The entire time you're doing that, your mother, who lives at the other, you know, somewhere in the middle of the country, is living by herself in a house where she doesn't have enough money and the house is dilapidated and you haven't been paying attention to her.
02:29:56.000They're getting called out for some of their ridiculous behavior, like yelling out questions during a press conference, like your question's more important than all the people around you that might be politely raising their hand.
02:30:15.000Maybe this is not the way to communicate with people, ever.
02:30:18.000Maybe this Maxine Waters idea of getting people to protest, people in restaurants, and build a crowd and let them know that they're not welcome.
02:30:26.000Okay, maybe that's the only way, right?
02:30:30.000If you're looking at all these people that are imposing these immoral policies, separating children from their parents, which seems to be the most egregious, that's the one that bothers us the most.
02:31:03.000Okay, if you're dealing with something that's that disgusting, as long as there's no actual violence, if you're dealing with something that's so heinous, you're separating poor people from their parents that are just coming over here trying to take a chance to get a migrant labor ward.
02:31:35.000So in the middle, until this law gets changed, until we reconsider the humane aspects of this law, how many people's lives are going to get ruined?
02:31:42.000How many thousands of kids are going to get traumatically separated from their parents and develop to become a more fucked up person who truly resents and hates the United States?
02:32:04.000I don't know how you would stop that, but one of the only ways that I could think of being really really effective in getting a message across is to make it super uncomfortable for people that push that message through sure what people that support that policy people that think it's not a big deal Jeff sessions gave a speech where they made a joke about Separating kids from their families and the audience laughed pull it pull that up It's it's on it was on the cover of like every
02:33:07.000Jeff Sessions speaking out about separating families.
02:33:10.000From the other side on this issue, as on many others, has become radicalized.
02:33:16.000We hear views on television today that are on the lunatic fringe, frankly, and what is perhaps more galling is the hypocrisy.
02:33:26.000These same people live in gated communities, many of them, and are featured at events where you have to have an ID to even come in and hear them speak.
02:33:36.000I like the little security around themselves.
02:33:39.000And if you try to scale defense, believe me, they'll be even too happy to have you arrested and separated from your children.
02:33:49.000It seemed like that joke was actually written for him.
02:33:52.000Says the fucking guy getting people arrested for marijuana.
02:34:41.000We have a law, and this is how we keep a beautiful country like America.
02:34:44.000The reason why we have nice, clean streets, the reason why we have cops, and social security, it's because we have rules.
02:34:50.000And as soon as we just allow people to bypass those rules, people that don't agree with our way of life, they don't support our way of life, they just want to come over here and mooch off the system.
02:35:01.000That's harder for you, it's harder for him, it's harder for everybody, Everybody else, all Johnny Taxpayer out there, has to pay for these migrants that you don't even know.
02:35:18.000Everything you just said, Mr. Sessions, Too legit to quit?
02:35:26.000As far as like the rules of the game, in some ways I guess it's true, but like if we look at it from a bigger perspective, which your type really doesn't like at all for some reason, but maybe it's just because you're old and your body probably hurts a little bit and also that fucking butt plug that I would bet $200,000 that you have shoved into your ass All the time,
02:36:40.000Bad, bad, bad suffering where it's like, there's like, they can't They can't live in some of these places without getting killed for sure.
02:36:48.000The chance of them getting killed is high for whatever reason and they're just doing what any living organism does.
02:36:53.000They're trying to get to a better spot.
02:36:55.000Also, Mr. Sessions, you probably don't believe in it, but once those fucking ice caps melt, holy fuck!
02:37:03.000When the cities in the next 50 years or so become inundated with water and people have to start moving more and more and more from places that are becoming uninhabitable.
02:37:12.000What do you think that's gonna happen?
02:37:14.000I don't know, man, but let's make a long date.
02:37:18.000We just open up the borders for everybody?
02:37:20.000Mr. Sessions, I don't fucking know, but I can tell you this.
02:37:25.000If we start approaching this from the perspective of love, which is the perspective of, like, we don't need to separate them from their kids, and there might be a way to do this that eases their suffering a little bit more.
02:37:37.000I don't know what it is, but from looking at what you're doing right now, that ain't it!
02:37:44.000I don't know what it is, but I think if we get a lot of people together and really think about it and figure it out, I'm not talking redistribution of wealth or some kind of crazy communist shit.
02:37:54.000I'm just saying, I know for sure we can do better than those goddamn aluminum blankets you're putting on those fucking kids.
02:39:03.000Response to that which isn't gonna be right because I don't really and I don't understand the issue at a level deep enough right so can I just say like one I There's many there's it's a complex situation.
02:39:14.000Yeah, there's not one answer to it, right?
02:39:17.000You just let anybody in who's not a criminal?
02:39:44.000Treat them as if they're a colony of the United States.
02:39:46.000They're, like, not that they're not sovereign, that they're still Mexico, but, like, treat them like they are connected to us and we don't want them to be fucked up and crazy.
02:39:56.000Instead of building up a wall, make it so that nobody wants to come over here.
02:39:59.000Like, that seems to be the prosperity way to go about it.
02:40:02.000Like, to say, hey, you know, Mexico's fucking beautiful.
02:40:06.000There's a reason why people vacation in Mexico.
02:40:46.000You've got to hang people from fucking bridges and shit.
02:40:49.000You've got to do things to send a message that you're ruthless and you're here to get that money.
02:40:53.000And there's a lot of that going on, and that is no different than Al Capone during the fucking prohibition of alcohol in the United States.
02:41:26.000The whole thing is crazy, but this is what we're next to.
02:41:29.000And so instead of saying, hey, we've got to make a fucking wall, what we should be saying is, what do we have to do to not just fix Mexico, not just help them and come up with some sort of strategy and a plan to build them up almost as equals, but we've got to fix our fucking poor neighborhoods.
02:41:47.000We've got to fix these fucking neighborhoods that have been drenched in poverty since the 1920s.
02:42:07.000Figure out how to develop community centers so that kids have somewhere to go there where they can learn and be productive so you're developing less losers.
02:42:14.000Giving people hopes and dreams, giving them things that they can put their energy to that make them feel good about life, right?
02:42:19.000Give them skills and games that they can play, and things they can do where they get good at it, where they develop self-esteem, which is one of the most terrible things about growing up in an impoverished, crime-ridden, gang-infested neighborhood, is you feel like you're nothing.
02:42:38.000People are killing people over words, and insults, and fucking territory for drugs, and your aunt's on crack, and your uncle's in jail, and it just seems like there's no fucking hope.
02:43:33.000And instead of this idea that we're all separate and we're all fucking two-party right-left nonsense, this civil war between Trump supporters and people who want to kick people out of restaurants, How about we all realize that if we're going to treat each other as Americans,
02:43:49.000we're going to agree that we're on this team, we've got to start acting like teammates.
02:43:58.000Instead of always searching for the negative in things, instead of reinforcing ridiculous ideas because you know that that's what your team supports.
02:44:06.000Like I see a lot of people online talking about this immigrant issue and they either don't have kids or they don't think it could happen to their kids.
02:44:13.000Their idea is, hey, shouldn't have fucking come over here.
02:44:20.000If you were in the presence of a woman who came over here from Guatemala and she's poor and she's starving and they're taking her baby away and she's wailing and screaming from a primal place in her DNA that the one thing she loves more than anything is being taken away.
02:45:08.000But if you agree with certain economic policies that I don't agree with, and we could have a discussion about it, we could figure out why you agree, and we could figure out why people are allowing all this money to get into politics.
02:45:20.000Why are we allowing all these special interest groups and lobbyists to interfere with our laws and influence our politicians and create all this shit that we don't want?
02:45:37.000It's the Electoral College, and there's a lot of checks and balances that are in place.
02:45:40.000It's all wonderful and groovy, but it's not giving the trust to the people.
02:45:43.000The trust to the people that are informed, that they can make their own decisions, that more people should be able to make these decisions.
02:46:04.000If we could pay for bombs, we could pay for schools.
02:46:07.000I think this idea that everybody should have health care, it's a great idea.
02:46:10.000Who the fuck wants people to not be healthy?
02:46:12.000Who wants people to be hurt and not be able to fix it?
02:46:16.000Are you really saying that struggling people should have to pay exorbitant amounts of money to get fixed when we can maybe chip in and help members of our team?
02:48:40.000But if the community pile is taken care of and managed in a...
02:48:48.000An honest and a way that's trustworthy and great for all involved and beneficial to the community and supportive of community values and love and this idea that we're all on a team and that you're gonna be okay.
02:50:18.000They're going to put in their time in the public sector or doing it for the public defender, and then they eventually go on to maybe even not do that.
02:50:26.000Maybe they just get satisfaction out of helping people that don't have any money.
02:50:30.000That doesn't mean that you shouldn't have high-priced lawyers as well.
02:50:32.000And it doesn't mean that people shouldn't be able to pursue excellence and be rewarded for that excellence and be able to do whatever the fuck they want with it.
02:50:40.000Whether they want to be charitable with that money or whether they want to be selfish with that money, if they're pursuing excellence and through their excellence they manage to amass an extreme amount of wealth.
02:50:52.000Playing the guitar, whatever the fuck they do.
02:50:54.000There's nothing wrong with that either.
02:50:55.000We've got to stop thinking there's something wrong with that.
02:50:58.000Chipping in and everybody putting into the company pile is, in a sense, some form of socialism, right?
02:51:05.000Like, we agree on some kind of socialism.
02:51:08.000When you consider the fire department, the police department, this is like social things, right?
02:52:06.000And that's where I think the problem is.
02:52:08.000Instead of thinking like, okay, yeah, all that's true.
02:52:11.000Let's figure out a way to get more taxpayer money out of the military industrial complex, out of the prisons, and let's put it in the neighborhoods that need it.
02:54:09.000It's a multi-armed daddy with a bunch of fucking laser pointers that it's got the entire population watching, like, cats running around, right?
02:54:18.000We're all like, oh god, they did that!
02:55:38.000No, in your life too, but that counts too.
02:55:41.000I think it does count, but I think that it would be easy to do things like that and still forget about something that's really basic, which is now that I'm talking about this shit, I'm thinking to myself...
02:55:54.000Right now, like, in my neighborhood, I'm thinking like, wait a minute, like, what am I not doing?
02:56:01.000I don't know what it is yet, but I guarantee there's something that I could do.
02:56:05.000And I like that, man, because you know, like...
02:56:30.000I think there's something to it, which is like if you just kind of look at your income and you think, all right, 5% of this shit is going to get spent or 10% or whatever you're comfortable with, I'm putting that in a pile.
02:56:43.000And that pile is going to helping people in my neighborhood or my friends or my family.
02:56:53.000And I think there's something to be said for that because right now I think we were a little too fixated on the daddy state helping us.
02:57:01.000And I think it's more important that we start helping each other and forming communities that are based on love and friendship and just figure it out.
02:57:09.000Some of the communities are going to fail.
02:57:11.000Some of them are going to get a couple of assholes in there who are con artists and trick everybody or lazy people.
02:57:17.000But the main thing is, let's start thinking in terms of Organizing into communities that aren't based on a fixation on the government right now.
