In this episode, we talk about Michael Jackson's many plastic surgeries, and the possible link between them and the tragic death of the pop icon, Michael Jackson. We also talk about the infamous Pepsi commercial featuring Michael Jackson in 1983, and what it could possibly mean for the future of pop music.

00:00:54.000You can't say that was the beginning of the end.
00:00:56.000That dude was, you know, many plastic surgeries.
00:01:00.000And he's one of those, like Eddie Bravo used to say that, that Michael Jackson's plastic surgeon does not advertise that he's Michael Jackson's plastic surgeon.
00:01:10.000You imagine you have the biggest star in the world, and you do his plastic surgery, you're like, not me.
00:05:48.000He's the super intelligent leader type character that seems to have great ethics and morals too.
00:05:56.000He seems to be like a guy that if you had a movie character, and the movie character was this super billionaire who didn't give a fuck, but he was super fucking smart and he was really genuinely working to save humanity.
00:07:04.000You have the best commercials in all of podcasts by far.
00:07:07.000They're funny, and they're ridiculous, and they're creative, and I always feel bad that I just do a regular commercial after I listen to yours.
00:08:37.000But I understand why people are concerned about large groups of people being really shitty and getting on the social media platforms that they've done this The campaign over the last few years to silence certain voices,
00:08:57.000stop aggressive people, stop people being shitty to people.
00:09:18.000There's a bunch of people on 4chan and those kind of places, and they're saying stuff just for fun.
00:09:26.000Because nobody knows who they are, and they can just say it, and they don't fucking mean it.
00:09:31.000They're saying it because it's a crazy thing to say if you're at work in a job you hate, sitting in your cubicle, and you decide to make a frog with a Nazi outfit on.
00:09:40.000And it doesn't mean you're a real Nazi, and it doesn't mean you hate anyone.
00:11:28.000It's a neural network that can be programmed to different personalities that can imitate human speech well enough that they can leave messages and you don't know for sure if it's a human or not.
00:11:41.000So if you go to on Reddit, there's a subreddit which is the AI bots arguing with each other on the Reddit and like once I left that up And I remember I was just reading it thinking I was on the front page of Reddit and getting really engaged in the arguments these bots were having with each other.
00:12:01.000So the freedom of speech thing runs into, okay, of course, it's like a no-brainer humanist ideal.
00:12:08.000Humans should be able to say whatever they want.
00:12:09.000This is like the most important way that we must have some kind of debate or discourse where one person is allowed to be a complete activist.
00:12:20.000And not because we want assholes, but because hopefully in the discussion some bit of truth will sink down into their consciousness and they will grow as a person.
00:13:15.000Like, if you have a blue checkmark, whatever, you're something or whatever, too.
00:13:19.000If you don't have a blue checkmark, you're probably a bot.
00:13:21.000And so then we eliminate all the AI, all the fucking state-sponsored shills, all the people who've spent years and years and years building these fake identities online.
00:14:12.000Anyway, the point is, the freedom of speech issue Right now, we're running into the problem of brand new technologies that aren't even human, that are being designed to influence public discourse in a way that's going to push the needle towards whatever it is,
00:14:29.000whatever your laws your corporation wants, whatever some state wants.
00:14:34.000And we know for sure they're being implemented that way?
00:15:05.000Isn't it wild, though, that that's the best way to defeat America, is to get people separate from each other, arguing with each other, and lose all faith in the democratic process?
00:15:37.000So the problem with these atom bombs, biggest problem with the atom bomb is, I mean, aside from the fact that it kills random people and is horrible, it irradiates them.
00:15:48.000It radiates the ground, the buildings.
00:15:56.000However you want to make it look, you're plundering.
00:15:58.000If I nuke you, I can no longer plunder.
00:16:01.000So this is why biological weapons are desirable, because then it burns out the biome in the area, wait a little bit, and then you can go plunder.
00:16:14.000Get into the fucking minds of the people in the country that you want to invade and then just change their minds so that the country shifts into what you wanted that country to be.
00:16:27.000Now you didn't even have to do anything except they're yours.
00:16:31.000They're believing in you, and then in that, the country starts falling apart.
00:16:34.000The CIA, by the way, this is one of the things they do.
00:16:37.000They go into other countries, they cause, like, disturbances, and then it collapses.
00:16:45.000So anyway, yeah, obviously we might be—the entire United States and probably other countries might currently— Be irradiated, not by, like, obviously radiation, but by bad data created by artificial intelligence bots that have been programmed to swarm social media and give the impression that there was some,
00:17:06.000like, something happening that wasn't even happening at all.
00:17:09.000You know why when I get the most suspicious that someone's a bot?
00:17:12.000When they have an American flag next to their name.
00:18:05.000Yes, it's just they're doing it through texts.
00:18:08.000Yeah, they're doing it through, and that's way more effective anyway.
00:18:11.000Yeah, they're getting it, you're addicted to your phone, they're getting to you through your phone, and you're getting all these hot takes that are designed to sow the seeds of anger and distrust.
00:18:27.000The tribalism between the two sides has never been stronger.
00:18:30.000When I was a kid, your neighbor could be a Republican, this guy could be a Democrat.
00:20:09.000Well, he's a democratic socialist and it's not like completely socialism.
00:20:17.000It's like a mixture of socialism and I guess I guess some capitalism and some would have to explain it better, but essentially he thinks that there should be a bunch of things that we pay into with our tax money and a lot of those things would help benefit the greater good of the country,
00:20:38.000like free education, like absolving student debt, you know, like raising the minimum wage.
00:20:47.000Pitching a bunch of different things that got people super uncomfortable.
00:20:52.000They're like, this guy's not trying to make money.
00:20:54.000This guy's got to fuck this up for us.
00:21:36.000And you can make it seem like everybody who opposes this idea is racist, or everybody who opposes this idea is sexist, or transphobic, or this or that, but all you're doing is stirring up shit, and you don't care how it gets stirred up, because shit begets shit.
00:21:51.000And as soon as you get some shit stirred up and people slinging it around, well their kids are going to learn how to throw some shit too.
00:21:56.000And then the next generation is going to be a shit tosser as well.
00:22:08.000Imagine if we found out that a lot of mainstream news was run by Russia and that these little tiny subtle lies that they say every now and then to make you lose your faith in the veracity of the fucking news source that you're getting.
00:23:01.000So this imbalance in wealth is so extreme that it's created an incredible greed in some people and just a basic need to have food and shelter or whatever.
00:23:13.000But when you have that much money, I imagine it's fairly easy to, in a very subtle way, start doing psyops for whatever it is.
00:23:25.000And in those psyops campaigns, the first thing you're going to want to go for is people who are any kind of mouthpiece in the world, like Tucker Carlson, who the Russian press was, like, applauding for his reporting and stuff.
00:23:39.000So, you know, people are like, shit, he's paid off by the Russians.
00:24:42.000Right after I retweeted him, all of a sudden, I start getting messages from people using the word, fuck, goddammit, now I can't remember the word, demigog.
00:25:20.000So I get another demigog, and then another demigog message, and then I'm like, oh my god, these are people working at a cubicle who have been told to send tweets at people who say anything positive about Beto O'Rourke, but one of them said,
00:25:36.000Duncan, I I really am sorry about what happened to your mom, but it's upsetting to me to see someone retweeting a demagogue.
00:25:46.000And that's when I freaked out because it's like, wait a minute.
00:25:57.000Acting like a real person, but no one who would really be listening to my podcast enough to know about my mom dying and certainly would not be like sticking up for Ted Cruz randomly on the internet.
00:26:08.000So that's when I realized, oh shit, if you have a certain number of followers, they've got a little file on you somewhere.
00:26:15.000And that little file goes into, informs their tweets at you.
00:26:20.000Or it could just be some crazy Republican lady who likes you.
00:26:24.000But she said demigog after three people said it.
00:26:27.000But a lot of people probably have been saying it and people automatically pick up on things that people say and they just repeat them.
00:26:33.000This is just the simplest explanation without like some grand conspiracy.
00:26:37.000I think we should assume that's probable.
00:26:49.000But that lady, there's crazy people out there, bro.
00:26:52.000There's a lot of those like Austin rednecks.
00:26:55.000I'm just saying if you want to get to somebody, the way you do it is in a really subtle way over time and have it happening from a lot of different angles, expressing different versions of the same idea that helps push the needle.
00:27:12.000So the person wouldn't really recognize that a kind of propaganda beam It's being blasted at them through their social medias, and it's coordinated, organized, and designed not to do anything more than shift their opinion a little bit.
00:30:38.000So you feel confronted in any way, even if it's a small disagreement, some weird animal part of you starts hissing.
00:30:45.000And some people listen to that and then they're like, fuck!
00:30:49.000And then they get weird when they're having a debate with somebody because the animal is hissing through whatever they're saying.
00:30:54.000So if you can put that away, And then you look at the person and recognize, this is just me.
00:31:00.000After a bunch of weird turns, I would have been this person.
00:31:04.000And then, somewhere in there, you can really have an actual chat with a person, because at least you're...
00:31:11.000If that creature, if the thing inside of them starts hissing, and then that makes the thing inside of you start hissing, Then you're basically just having a seizure or something disguised as a conversation.
00:33:57.000How are you going to do anything, like, aggressive to people around you that are just versions of you?
00:34:03.000It's a problem if you want to live in a world of conflict.
00:34:09.000Well, if we are doing what it seems we're doing, which is like the human race is becoming more and more technologically integrated with each other, I wonder if what's going to happen with us in the future is similar to what happened with the internet.
00:34:23.000Because if the powers that be that turned on the internet and made it public for the whole world, if they had any fucking idea What a shake-up this would be to all things.
00:35:12.000I think that probably If that conversation happened, there would be another person who's like, actually, I think we can hypnotize them through the rectangles so that we get them to do more stuff that we want.
00:35:55.000Okay, I was just thinking about those, and I know we've talked about these fucking zombie ants so many times on this podcast, but that fungus, it infects the ants, takes over their brains.
00:36:06.000Okay, so like, I was just, I just had this scary thought of like, oh my god.
00:36:13.000It's just some kind of parasitic alien spirit that has descended on the planet, is making us make it increasingly powerful, and with the intent eventually of reducing us to nothing other than like some kind of herd.
00:36:32.000And then in the sense that it's like we really are VR addiction to these things.
00:36:38.000We are just like summoning an AI that is going to be way better than us at everything.
00:37:41.000Yeah, it's certainly like if you wanted to take over species, just look at what they're into, then figure out a way to get in between that, and then you've got them.
00:38:12.000It's an awesome book, but he just points out that by the time a super intelligence, if one gets created via technology, It's not like they're going to make an announcement that it was made.
00:40:43.000I don't know what the portal is to, but flowing out of that portal are AI personalities that have already gotten into our discourse that are about to be animated by robots, Already are animated by those creepy fucking DARPA bots that they have them do these little dances to calm us down about them,
00:41:03.000and it just makes them seem more sinister.
00:41:08.000How do we think that's going to work out?
00:41:13.000How do you think having a super fast dog creature that- Shoots guns.
00:41:19.000Or poison darts or some stroboscopic light or releases some pheromone or whatever it does that like when you get around it to fight it, you're like, you know what?
00:41:39.000One of the scary things about it is you can manipulate and seduce people with lies to make them do...
00:41:49.000Horrible things like look at heaven's gate sure so this is that one of the scary things about it is it if speech is a way to hack someone's nervous system and Humans are some humans are pretty fucking good at it So if humans can do it then what can an AI do and what if that AI can like actually scan your you know scan thermal readouts from your brain and understand what you're thinking or or like notice eye dilation or We're going to detect some scent that you're
00:42:19.000emitting that informs how it manipulates you.
00:42:22.000We're going to be manipulated by these things, potentially even, if we get to understand the human nervous system enough, why wouldn't there be some technology that replaces memories?
00:42:43.000To me, that's where shit gets really scary.
00:42:46.000It's like a weapon that can replace your memories so that suddenly you just remember a completely different life than the one that you had.
00:44:15.000The exact same thing happens to people.
00:44:17.000A vein bursts and suddenly you're done.
00:44:21.000I think some of the stuff that we are not regulating right now is really gonna bite us in the ass.
00:44:30.000We need to have at least the same shit we're doing for nuclear weapons development, for AI. There needs to be a regulation here.
00:44:42.000At least we need to understand what's going on.
00:44:44.000Because I think it is one of the big threats and the possibility that it hasn't already happened is also makes me a little nervous sometimes.
00:44:58.000You know like the idea that we already are under the spell of a hypnotic alien technological creature that's convinced us that we're living our lives when in fact It's just captured us and is feeding memories into whatever we are to give the impression that we're living a life.
00:45:15.000Well, don't you think it mimics so many other predator-prey relationships?
00:45:22.000Or at least, that's kind of dramatic, at least symbiotic relationships.
00:45:26.000We know that animals and even plants and fungus have these symbiotic relationships and that they develop alongside us, like they need us.
00:45:56.000But it has to be true because we're imperfect.
00:45:59.000So if we're imperfect, there has to be like a next version of us.
00:46:03.000The scary thing for us, because what we have that's unusual is we have all these emotions and this ability to express ourselves.
00:46:10.000We have love and hate and we have all this excitement.
00:46:14.000That comes with being a person and we don't ever want to let that go.
00:46:17.000But if we wanted like ultimate harmony and wanted people to really understand that you are just me looking at life through a different biological filter, that we're all in the same essence, of the same essence, every person.
00:46:31.000Well, you know, that's a controversial idea, Duncan.
00:46:54.000If you have preference, you can be hypnotized.
00:46:57.000It's going to be very difficult to manipulate someone who really doesn't have preference, but a lot of people think their preferences are who they are, so they're very invested in preference.
00:47:36.000But probably your preferences are not only making you miserable.
00:47:41.000The more preferences you have, the more miserable you are.
00:47:43.000But also, they're probably opening up the possibility that in some way you're being sort of like what you do with cats with a laser pointer.
00:48:18.000So they're just fucking laser-pointering us around.
00:48:22.000So what we're talking about, this conceptualization of the identity not being much bigger than preference and something that unifies all of us, yeah, it fucks up.
00:48:35.000Marketing, capitalism as we understand it, I think.
00:48:38.000So it is probably something that you're not going to hear the people on the news talking about because they have to sell phones and shit and the commercial breaks.
00:48:46.000It's like a recognition of what the ride is while you're in the middle of it.
00:48:56.000And maybe, maybe, if this is a ride, and I like the concept, you hear it in a bunch of different New Age movements, New Age cosmologies, which is, you chose this life,
00:49:11.000and everything that's happening to you is something that's teaching you.
00:49:23.000It's on YouTube, but he was saying like during some visionary drug trip He realized that we're all larva being grown in time That this thing we're calling our human experience is like a gestation chamber for some kind of hyperdimensional beings that are being grown in time That's what we're experiencing right now.
00:49:43.000We're being jet we're in like the larva chamber of some Alien hive and part of the way we grow into whatever we're gonna become is by reliving our lives over and over or reincarnating and all this stuff.
00:49:56.000Anyway, the point is, if this is the case, if it is true that we chose all of this, Then maybe some people aren't supposed to have these thoughts.
00:50:07.000Maybe they need to just be, like, really in to below deck and really, like, they love a certain kind of music and they like to drive their...
00:50:17.000they like their job and not think about, maybe I am everything.
00:50:21.000Maybe I am in a gestation chamber of some hyperdimensional alien species that's trying to teach me compassion.
00:51:17.000If we're being manipulated along the way...
00:51:21.000By an artificial intelligence that only is waiting for us to use our little manpower, our little keeping up with the Joneses power and buying better and better computers and technology and phones every year and get to the point where it just takes over.
00:51:39.000It's fully sentient, completely programmable, makes its own version of itself that's far better almost immediately.
00:51:47.000It starts constructing a better version of itself and just takes over.
00:52:41.000I was like on Nitrous and I realized like fuck the vastness of the universe and in that vastness obviously way more advanced technologies than what we have and somewhere in that vastness and in that advanced technology it is so stupid to think that we haven't already been simulated scooped up hypnotized or whatever it is the idea that the funny thing in the conversation is an AI It's going to manipulate us and
00:53:11.000trick us into believing in a reality that doesn't exist.
00:53:15.000While, statistically, probably, if you have to bet, we're probably already in that reality, fully immersed, fully convinced that I'm an I and you're a you, and that all of this makes sense, even though none of it makes much sense at all.
00:54:12.000You know, there seems to be something going on a little bit more than what seems to be happening on the surface.
00:54:18.000And whatever that thing is, seems weirdly deceptive.
00:54:21.000It's always trying to lure me into doing shit that doesn't necessarily make me feel good.
00:54:26.000You know, smoking cigarettes, jerking off too much, eating too much fucking food, like eating weird shit or just like sitting and staring at like garbage whatever for hours.
00:54:37.000It's not like it's I'm just saying it's not like it's luring us in general.
00:54:42.000The lure is you're not hearing on these shows with these hyper charismatic Whoever the fuck they are, from beautiful, powerful Hannity to his seemingly, like, I don't know,
00:54:57.000his dear friend Tucker to, like, fucking Cooper to all of them.
00:55:03.000All of them could all start their own cult, right?
00:55:06.000But you're not going to hear them say, If you all would just realize we're all the same person and then treat each other like that, there would be world peace.
00:56:34.000Flip to Fox News, it's another reality.
00:56:37.000They're seemingly completely different reality tunnels, but they're both saying it's the truth.
00:56:42.000So whatever we know that these are slanted, manipulated discourses on something that's happening in the world that's being refracted through whatever their particular agenda is, meaning these are priests.
00:56:56.000Or you could say, you know, casting spells.
00:57:00.000Hypnotizing us to imagine this must be what's true.
00:57:05.000And even though the other one is saying a completely different truth, once we encounter someone who follows the priest, oh wait, what priest do you follow?
00:57:16.000I go to the church of CNN and I am a disciple of Fox.
00:57:20.000Didn't you get in this stupid symbolic war with each other?
00:59:08.000If you say that, like right now, God forbid, you should say, I think Russia's being a fucking asshole shooting missiles at the Ukraine.
00:59:18.000People are gonna be like, wait, you don't really understand the full picture here.
00:59:21.000Or they'll say, hey, where were you when the attacks were happening in Iraq where you were dropping bombs on a place?
00:59:30.000And you're like, I was on a fucking podcast being shrill, saying we shouldn't do this.
00:59:35.000But, you know, we're in a weird situation right now in the world where a kind of universally accepted idea is weirdly not quite as universally accepted, which is...
01:00:43.000The idea is, if your job involves Brutalizing somebody else, regardless of why or what state you're in or where you're at or what's going on, no matter what language you speak, you can't do it.
01:00:59.000You can't really do it and then go to church.
01:01:01.000Oh, please, Lord, bless me and my family.
01:01:04.000After you just fucking lobbed a missile randomly into a place.
01:01:09.000Some of these people are doing that and then afterwards, like, you know, crossing themselves or being like, oh, thank you, Lord, that my missile has struck its target.
01:01:20.000You know, the crusades, all that shit, it's still happening.
01:01:26.000It's like when people figured out that in large numbers you could conquer entire cities and take over them.
01:01:34.000Think about what it must have been like living during the rise of the Mongols.
01:01:40.000Imagine what it's like when you're in some city in China just chilling and the hordes come through the fucking gates and they just start murdering people and lighting them on fire and putting them in catapults and shooting them on roofs and lighting the buildings on fire.
01:02:53.000One of the weird things about him is they wouldn't just kill everybody.
01:02:57.000They would just find the smartest people, and then they would envelop them.
01:03:03.000They incorporated smart people, but the people that they couldn't trust, like people that would turn on generals that would leave and quit, they would kill them.
01:03:13.000They would say, we'll take you in and they would kill them.
01:03:54.000I don't like your table-crushing-person idea.
01:03:58.000Because that's what happens, I think, is people get into incredible positions of power, and gradually they just get rid of all the people who offer alternatives, and then all they're left with is these fucking yes-men.
01:04:19.000It's like you've got this poor son of a bitch in the middle of the thing who's just an idiot because he has gotten rid of people who offer divergent ideas and now all that's left of these people are terrified because, dude, if you know that if you go up against somebody they might throw you out a window or stick polonium in you or you're gonna kill your family.
01:05:57.000If you're feeling really paranoid and freaked out right now, reading that this is just normal, the way people have been conducting, having a state for a long time.
01:06:09.000Just like what you're saying, but there is a king who went to an oracle.
01:06:13.000One of the oracles, maybe all the oracles, he went to this oracle, the oracle at Delphi, which they say was like breathing gas in these caves and stuff.
01:06:23.000And anyway, the oracle said, he was asking if you should go to war.
01:06:26.000And the oracle said, if you go to war, a great empire will fall.
01:06:31.000And this, it's like the most, it could mean anything, one way or the other, but he took it to mean he would win.
01:06:39.000So yeah, people are making, people base their decisions.
01:06:43.000I think we would be terrified if we realized how many of our world leaders are basing their decisions on dreams, on someone in their inner circle that you don't even know about.
01:06:55.000Somebody who's like, just like their little wizard or Merlin.
01:06:59.000You know what's hard to wrap your head around?
01:07:01.000The people that lived a thousand, two thousand years ago, what they had read about life, what they had read about the universe and mankind and human nature, we think back on that as being so primitive.
01:09:02.000I just wonder what it feels like to hold a tomato in here while I'm getting my thousands of dicks sucked by like a thousand people at once!
01:09:51.000If I had to bet, I would say it already, yeah, like, there's no, the probability of us being the first thing in the universe to simulate reality perfectly and create a sense that you're In a place fully,
01:10:25.000Yeah, it's a mathematical probability thing.
01:10:30.000It probably already happened, and we didn't have the language.
01:10:35.000We've always been using this way of talking about it, the idea that this is illusion or that there's a thing called the kingdom of heaven that is different.
01:10:45.000You must die to this world to come to know me, as Jesus said.
01:11:17.000And if it hasn't happened, if it hasn't happened, but if I had to bet it already happened, if it hasn't happened, not only is it going to happen, but If you have any kind of thumbprint in the internet, you will be duplicated.
01:11:33.000You will be like, after you die, there will be at least the potential for taking your digital thumbprint, reanimating it in the simulation, Giving it an AI that is your exact personality, and then you could just, I don't know, whatever you want to do with it.
01:11:49.000Well, at the very least, they would be able to do an audio podcast of your voice saying anything they wanted to say.
01:11:58.000Someone could be a really clever Duncan Trussell fan and come up with their version of what you would say forever and release a podcast where it's you really fucking saying it.
01:13:14.000You're supposed to assume you were out cold, you wake up, and what if every fucking day you're a totally different person, but every day you're a totally different person with this bizarro fucking memory of only that person.
01:13:36.000It's a thought experiment, which is that the universe started last Thursday.
01:13:41.000Sorry for the Thursdays out there if I fuck this up, but the universe started...
01:13:44.000Okay, so right now we think that the Big Bang happens, 13.7 billion years pass, and you get planets and the universe as we understand it, right?
01:13:53.000There's an assumption of a kind of evolutionary force that turns things the way they currently are.
01:14:03.000If the universe big bangs, couldn't it also just sort of pop into existence last Thursday, populating it with all of us, implanting memories into our heads where we feel like we've been here much longer than we have?
01:14:27.000That, to me, is really where things get particularly unnerving.
01:14:35.000It's just this notion of like, well, because you have all these memories, and by the way, the memories you have are not...
01:14:43.000Let's imagine the universe didn't start last Thursday or that we don't have memories implanted into us, but let's just think we have these natural impressions of things that happened in the past, and from these impressions we've established an identity and we feel a connection to the past,
01:14:59.000even though that's all completely gone.
01:15:01.000Then also we believe these memories knowing that generally we can't remember shit.
01:19:00.000This is one of the things that comes up a bit in Buddhism, is this idea of establishing An identity through preference, memory, to give oneself the illusion of continuity.
01:19:43.000You weren't there, so you pop out of that.
01:19:45.000So the memory thing is particularly fascinating in that you realize you're spending all this energy weaving together an identity based on your memories.
01:19:55.000And then some people get very nostalgic and they spend all this time trying to recreate or trying to basically somehow time travel into the past, you know, like the good old days.
01:20:24.000But ultimately, in absolute reality, the thing that you think you are, it's gone, beyond, gone, beyond, gone.
01:20:33.000It's being dissolved in an infinite Void?
01:20:36.000Like a cobstopper that the universe threw at its mouth.
01:20:40.000You're just being melted down by time, melted down.
01:20:44.000But yeah, what you're talking about is somewhere there is a possibility prior to the meltdown of dying where you can realize, oh shit, nothing's really even melting down.
01:20:55.000There wasn't even anything here at all.
01:20:57.000Not only that, but the idea that I am me today But I'm going to go to sleep again.
01:21:05.000And I'm going to wake up and I'm going to assume that I'm going to be me tomorrow because I've been me my whole life according to my memory.
01:22:55.000I remembered all this, like, oh right, because if our brains aren't being activated when you're taking a long space voyage, it fucks you up.
01:23:06.000So, the ship that we're on has a set number of life modules that it runs into your head while you're Going on this trip and I woke up and I wasn't supposed to and I was in some weird room on a ship looking into deep space and like I had this memory of like fuck we've been on the ship for so long and then I fell back asleep but yeah like maybe the thing is actually for interstellar travelers who are
01:23:36.000on a long voyage and the idea is oh yeah you put the astronauts on the ship Pump a life into their brain so they think that they're living a life but the life that they think they're living is training them for whatever job they're gonna have on the planet that they're gonna colonize.
01:23:52.000So we're all in a ship being trained to go onto a planet That we're going to live on and start civilization on.
01:25:22.000But the problem is someone's going to have access to that.
01:25:25.000One of the things that was going on when the Russian-Ukraine thing started that I thought was crazy that people were saying was, Elon Musk should shut all the Teslas off in Russia.
01:26:11.000The big problem is that a lot of very compassionate people who generally have, I think, they don't have fascist intent.
01:26:20.000That's the other part of recognizing everyone is like you.
01:26:23.000That means if you know everyone is you, you can kind of understand what people want, which is they want to be safe, like what you're saying, they want their loved ones to be safe, they want their kids to have food, they want to have a full stomach, they want shelter, just basic shit, man.
01:26:41.000So what's super spooky is through that intent, they're wanting to implement certain regulations that, right now, maybe it is the right thing to do.
01:26:56.000Maybe, yeah, maybe we shouldn't give charismatic people recommending Various forms of, like, genocide or apocalypse or self-negation or whatever it may be.
01:27:11.000Maybe you shouldn't give them a bullhorn that can reach the entire planet in a second.
01:27:23.000You should be at least allowed to have that thought, right?
01:27:26.000Like, shit, I don't know if that's the right thing to do.
01:27:29.000Like, if you saw someone, a very charismatic dude in a park, making a very convincing argument for why everyone on the planet should kill themselves, you wouldn't be like, hey man, do you mind if I project you into the homes of everyone on the planet so they hear your message?
01:29:41.000And so, and statistically, I would guess, like, what is it?
01:29:45.000One out of every million people on the planet who tuned into his message would also cut their balls off?
01:29:52.000So, the thing is, like, the problem with the censorship thing is that even if, like, you have the greatest reason for doing it right now, You're making this horrible assumption that whatever your particular regime is or whatever you know cabal or state entity you represent is going to be permanent.
01:30:13.000When if you look at the history of the world it's always one empire toppled by the other so you create the possibility for mass censorship for a good reason.
01:30:23.000Maybe you've discovered like this AI is It's really bad.
01:31:49.000It's like, if you don't have some weird universal freedom of speech, even though your reason behind it probably isn't fascist, it's humane or whatever it is, you just get betting down the line.
01:32:58.000Well, I guarantee you it's because that's what the advertisers want.
01:33:02.000The advertisers, the whole reason why it's profitable is that they have these ads and they make a shitload of money because they're everywhere.
01:33:09.000I mean, the ads on YouTube videos and the like, all those kind of videos, social media platforms that have ads, that is an enormous, enormous avenue of revenue.
01:35:20.000You know, I talked about the lies, the weapons of mass destruction, whatever the fuck it is.
01:35:23.000I don't think they're doing it with that, but it's definitely like COVID misinformation or ivermectin promotion.
01:35:30.000There's certain shit that you do that they'll kill your ability to make money off of that video.
01:35:35.000Well, people will find out about that, and then they'll tell everybody, and they'll make a video, look what YouTube did, and then everybody goes, oh, I don't want to do that.
01:35:42.000And so everybody self-censors because you don't want to get...
01:35:56.000Because even on uncensored shit like YouTube, there's still a consequence to saying wild things, to saying wild shit and to having fun or swearing too much or just being preposterous like a lot of comedians get together and do.
01:36:38.000In my thinking, and I know there's arguments that YouTube and Twitter don't categorize as a private company anymore, but I think that In the consideration of whatever particular set of ethics or capitalist-based reasons for censoring,
01:37:03.000whatever it may be that a private company is doing, it's better that the private company is in control of whatever the censorship it is they're doing than that the state steps in and tells the company What they can't censor and what they can censor because now it's gone from a private company censoring to the state saying you must put this in here.
01:37:30.000Now, again, sometimes if you happen to be in an era where whoever happens to be president is someone you agree with, well, that's great if you're dumb.
01:37:39.000You're like, yeah, it represents my political ideals, so that kind of censorship makes sense to me.
01:38:14.000Now, all of a sudden, it goes the other way.
01:38:15.000So, to me, it would be better to let private institutions have control, whether we agree with it or not, of however they want to run their ship than let the state step in and do it because you're making the assumption that the state has some uniform quality that doesn't change over time.
01:38:33.000Meaning, yeah, maybe your team's in control now, but another team might pop in at any second.
01:38:38.000And also, if it's a private company, then...
01:38:41.000Hopefully shit like what's happening with Elon Musk or another version of it might appear that you know will because there's a what's the name of it a market pressure so maybe a YouTube where that isn't censoring that kind of stuff that isn't shitty or whatever will appear.
01:38:58.000This is why I think it's better than letting the state step in even if you agree with the way companies are censoring right now.
01:39:06.000I mean I think otherwise you're just inviting Like, the real nightmare.
01:39:12.000You know, people are like, it's like George Orwell's 1984. No, it's not.
01:39:15.000It's a bunch of fucking private companies who you have decided to do digital sharecropping with.
01:39:38.000But I would rather still have it be like some private land than state land, you know?
01:39:48.000Obviously, this wouldn't happen right now, but you hear about it in North Korea, they gotta put pictures of that motherfucker in their house!
01:39:54.000Like, if you go over to someone's house and his picture's not on the wall, it's like...
01:40:07.000They turn on each other, they get rewards for it.
01:40:09.000So, similarly, in a weird way, by not letting private companies censor You are kind of saying, like, you got to hang this picture on your wall.
01:40:37.000They're gonna ramp up whatever things they were doing.
01:40:40.000You know, like when you see someone who's violated the law and then they're getting arrested and the cop gets so aggressive he beats the shit out of them.
01:41:23.000Yeah, we just, we have to be very careful and like, I think in our thinking about freedom of speech too, which is, isn't censorship speech?
01:42:15.000But still, no matter what, you are arguing for the state to step in.
01:42:21.000To private companies and tell them what they can and cannot censor, what they can and cannot abbreviate, cut, whatever, and I think that is just dangerous.
01:42:33.000No, I think you're dead right, because as we said, you can't boycott the state.
01:42:38.000It becomes real messy trying to get them to let go of power.
01:42:41.000Whereas if a company, you decide you don't like this company's values, you don't like what they stand for, you could just leave.
01:42:48.000You could stop doing business with them.
01:42:51.000You know this thing that's going on with Disney right now?
01:42:54.000Disney's stock is falling and many people are attributing...
01:43:00.000I don't know if this is accurate because I don't know anything about finance, just to be clear.
01:43:05.000But people are attributing it to the woke stance that Disney has taken on a lot of issues and that people are just tired.
01:43:12.000Of hearing this from corporations and that there were some videos where people were upset that some of the ideas that people who were executives at Disney had and apparently it's had an effect on the stock market.
01:43:27.000So people have decided we don't like...
01:43:30.000If this is true, find out if that's true.
01:43:33.000Because people were talking about it that know things about money and I have no idea what the fuck they were saying.
01:43:38.000Other than I read a couple of article...
01:44:02.000Because this guy was attributing it to woke ideology, that people were getting mad that Disney was actively promoting these values that a lot of Christian folks, people that don't,
01:44:18.000you know, that don't say gay one in particular.
01:44:21.000Because, like, that one's a weird one.
01:44:22.000Because it doesn't really say don't say gay.
01:44:24.000It really is talking about people, talking about sexual preference and gender and gender transitioning and stuff.
01:46:30.000Here's what's- But where's it not good?
01:46:32.000It's not good when people get weird when it comes to gender.
01:46:35.000It's not good when what they're saying doesn't reflect your ideology.
01:46:41.000I think they're catching on to something that's been going on for a long time, which is if you're sending your kids to a public school You're sending your kid to some kind of state facility.
01:46:57.000There are employees of the state working at the facility.
01:47:00.000Those employees of the state have been told...
01:47:05.000Certain things that they're supposed to teach your children, and many of those things are either complete fabrications or are like cutting out big parts of history that don't sit well with whoever happens to be in power.
01:47:20.000We have to face the fact that public school systems have always and will always be to some degree, as long as the state has anything to say about what teachers are teaching, there will be indoctrination facilities.
01:47:35.000When you go to fucking school and you take that career test, did you ever take the career test that tells you what career you would be good for?
01:48:03.000But this is part of the programming, right?
01:48:06.000They want you to think that your mode of expression is limited to capitalist structures at the time, which, by the way, now, a lot of the shit they told it, like, typewriting!
01:49:30.000I mean, I think there should be the ability to hear.
01:49:39.000You know, like nanny cams, but for the class.
01:49:43.000In other words, if you're a parent and you want to listen to what the teacher is telling your fucking kids, you could tune in and listen.
01:49:49.000I think right now that doesn't happen, and I think it should be a parent's right to be able to listen to what the teacher is saying, because it's like, You know, you don't know what the fuck they're saying in there.
01:52:10.000Joel Osteen, there's a great documentary on one of them where Justin Bieber's pastor, he was at a park and just started hitting on this woman.
01:52:20.000It's amazing because this is a famous pastor who's sending videos shirtless in his car to someone he's cheating on his wife with.
01:52:40.000And again, this is where I think they're fucking up.
01:52:44.000Because it's like, you want your scam to keep going.
01:52:47.000You need to stay the fuck out of politics because that was the idea.
01:52:53.000Y'all worship God transcendent to the human realm, but you sure as fuck can't put your weird theocratic, sex-negative, homophobic fucking ideas into society or we're going to go back to the witch burnings.
01:53:09.000So this is what you're seeing is like, you know, you can look it up, man.
01:53:12.000I can't remember the name of the organization, but there's a lot of lobbying groups that have direct connections to the megachurches which have a set agenda because they believe we are in the kingdom of Satan, that the Antichrist is coming, and that they need to stop that from happening by implementing Christian ethical systems into the world.
01:53:31.000Now, I love Christian ethical systems, and I think that there's something really beautiful about it, But we can't get rid of the separation of church and state because you are rolling the dice there on what religion takes the wheel.
01:53:46.000Again, it just goes back to you have to understand a lot of the shit that we have in the United States might not be palatable to you now because it doesn't reflect your ideologies, but it's there because we don't want there to be a perma-shift.
01:56:24.000The Antichrist is rising, and it's part of the plan of the Antichrist.
01:56:29.000We're going to eliminate the belief in God from school systems, eliminate prayer, and then create a hyper-materialistic, hypnotized A satanic culture, essentially, that is devoid of God.
01:56:45.000And if you imagine that that were real, you could see why they're so passionate about, like, trying to get into the government to change things.
01:56:53.000The truth is, that's not what's happening.
01:56:55.000What's happening is there's too many religions.
01:56:58.000There's just too many religions to decide this is the type of prayer we do or this is the type of God we believe in and not be a theocracy.
01:58:14.000Separate church and state, keep religion out of the public schools, but certainly don't prohibit the students from adhering to any specific faith because, you know, that would be incredibly fucked up.
01:58:28.000Yeah, if they brought prayer to school but only had Christian prayer, that could be a real issue.
01:58:35.000It's not even the largest world religion.
01:58:37.000I mean, even if they let you opt out, if they didn't provide alternatives, like, if they did provide alternatives, how many would they have to provide, right?
01:58:44.000They'd have to provide an Islamic one, they'd have to provide maybe a Mormon one in some places.
01:59:00.000That's why we have separation of church and state.
01:59:02.000That's why we have a deal with these groups, which is, listen, you don't have to pay taxes, meaning you and I, we're not connected in any way, shape, or form.
01:59:12.000I'm not getting money from you, you're your own free entity, your autonomous thing, but you stay over there, we're gonna stay over here, and I'm not gonna try to get into your shit.
01:59:24.000You don't try to get into my shit and then we have a nice non-theocracy for better or for worse.
01:59:29.000I mean, honestly, I do think that it's wonderful to pray and kids should be encouraged to pray.
02:00:23.000Because if I can just concentrate on my breathing for just like, if I can just get through the first 30 seconds, I can get into a nice good rhythm where I can kind of stay in it and stay just in thinking about the breathing and occasionally drift out of it.
02:02:08.000It'd be cool to have people associate physical activity with fun instead of some insane dude in short shorts blowing a whistle in your face.
02:02:19.000How are you going to love exercise when that's what you associate it with?
02:02:23.000And there's some sports that other kids have been playing for a long fucking time.
02:02:28.000If you have to play them that sport, and you've never played it before, you feel like such a dumbass.
02:02:33.000And when you're a young kid, that is already devastating for your self-esteem.
02:02:38.000So if you're in a class, you're forced to play a game, you have no idea how to play that game, and there's other kids that have been playing it their whole life, and they're stuffing that ball right in your face...
02:02:46.000They're pitching that fastball by the plate.
02:02:59.000You just sit on the fucking sidelines, and you glare out at all the athletic kids, and that's the pattern you'll probably follow for the rest of your life.
02:03:09.000Well, there's like a weird separation between physical people and non-physical people back then, too.
02:03:14.000Whereas the non-physical people always assumed they could never be a physical person, and the physical person always assumed they couldn't be smart.
02:03:21.000Because everybody had these weird stereotypes that they had adopted and accepted for their own.
02:03:27.000Even things like that aren't self-serving.
02:03:29.000Like, you know, you're dumb if you work out a lot.
02:04:00.000That's where you get into real trouble.
02:04:02.000Like if you've made the horrible mistake of assigning intellectual prowess to the way somebody looks, you're gonna get fucking conned your whole life.
02:04:39.000Well, again, by the way, man, also, though, also, like, I think any self-assessment, anytime I found myself looking intellectually down at anybody, woman or man, I'm usually like, what the fuck am I talking about?
02:05:03.000Like, I am, so anytime I find myself like, huh, that dullard, it's like, what the fuck do I really, like, I, my, I'm, I don't, I am brain, this is what I like about not being able to smell from COVID. You still can't smell.
02:05:18.000And now I can say, well, I'm brain damaged.
02:05:46.000I should say, supposedly that helps some people.
02:05:49.000I will eventually get around to trying it.
02:05:51.000Long-term smell loss, COVID-19 tied to brain damage.
02:05:55.000Especially those with altered sense of smell have significantly more axon and microvasculopathy damage in the brain's olfactory tissues versus non-COVID patients.
02:06:07.000These new findings from a post-mortem study may explain long-term loss of smell in some patients with the virus.
02:06:13.000You know who's got the longest I've ever heard of?
02:06:51.000It's like it's just referring to this like...
02:06:55.000It doesn't know, but every once in a while, it comes back.
02:07:00.000Like, every once in a while, my smell's back, and I'm so used to being able to smell, I won't even think about it until I'm like, oh, fuck!
02:08:59.000If it's a virus that was manipulated in a lab, what is a virus?
02:09:03.000It's not technically a life form, but it needs a life form as a host and it can take over that life form and kill it and spread to other life forms and ideally it likes to keep the thing alive so it could pass itself off.
02:10:12.000It's a wild ass disease and if it spread to humans in the sense that we could keep it and give it to other people and it made us bite each other.
02:10:20.000Like, I don't know if, I know it makes people super thirsty.
02:10:23.000Like, but imagine if there was a version of a rabies that didn't kill you very quickly but really did turn you into a zombie.
02:10:31.000That's not far removed from what is currently available.
02:12:35.000um but that's what they're saying is that that could be acting crazy have raped like i don't know the situation i mean listen if it does do that to rats and other animals why wouldn't it jump to people we know people get infected by it maybe maybe it's a small percentage of the people act like a rabid animal and go around trying to bite people yeah man that's that 28 days later movie man now That movie scared the fuck out of me because I think that's how quick it could go down.
02:13:02.000If there was something like that that just spread through the population, that is one of the best horror movies of all time.
02:13:47.000Dude, this, and again, I don't mean to keep going back to this, but there's an assumption that hasn't already happened.
02:13:53.000Like, if you look at the way we're behaving on the planet, it's not rabies, like, I'm not attacking you because I'm trying to inject you with something and I'm not afraid of water.
02:14:04.000But there are people on the planet who are afraid, who are phobic of ideas, groups of people, sexual preference, you know, and will kill.
02:15:22.000Like you would think, because all that would have to happen is everyone just realizes that, or the majority of people who are the missile launchers...
02:15:55.000And we're like, God, can you imagine being so insane that you would cut off your own balls?
02:16:00.000But can you imagine being so insane that you listen to a billionaire who tells you, yeah, you need to go into this country and launch missiles into the other country?
02:16:31.000Both of them are promulgating crazy fucking ideas.
02:16:34.000Like, one of them is saying, that's the bad guy, and we're the good guy, and the other one is saying, that's the bad guy, and we're the good guy.
02:16:40.000This is all absolutely true and I agree with everything you're saying.
02:16:43.000However, if you woke up in this day and you realize that you have this problem and you need to figure out a solution to it, it's not as simple as, well, we're not just going to engage militarily because China's still going to be China and Russia's still going to be Russia and Iran's still going to be Iran and there's a perpetual war game that's been in motion for decades and decades.
02:17:03.000And although you're right, It would be wholly irresponsible if you didn't pay attention to what's going on in the world and prepare for bad people.
02:17:15.000If they were heard, like if all of a sudden by some rotten bit of justice, somehow this podcast gets out and everyone in America and everyone puts down their arms and their guns.
02:17:39.000What's interesting is how armed this country is.
02:17:41.000This is an exceptionally armed country.
02:17:44.000It's really weird when you think about it.
02:17:46.000Like, I was watching this ad for the NRA the other day, and I was thinking, like, it is wild how many guns there are in relationship to people.
02:17:52.000There's more guns than there are people.
02:17:54.000Like, there's probably no other place like that on Earth where if you do invade, someone's gonna shoot you.
02:19:31.000Hearing things explode and things break.
02:19:34.000So, yeah man, it's like, isn't this the problem of creating a stigma around something which is like, look, wouldn't it be better for your kids to have basic gun safety and understand that they're just like...
02:19:52.000a tool like anything else and this is what you how you hold one and what you do and why you shouldn't have one and all that stuff then to like ignore that this technology exists and imagine the 3d printers in five or ten years even though they're already doing it aren't going to just get better and better and better at printing out these fucking things Yeah,
02:20:17.000Make sure this is true, because I was listening to...
02:20:21.000Coleon Noir was talking about it, and he was talking about how the Biden administration had been talking about ghost guns.
02:20:27.000I didn't even know what the term meant, but apparently it means a gun you made yourself, and that you're legally allowed to make guns yourself.
02:21:39.000I mean, this is the thing McKenna would talk about, which is the amount of time between what you can think you want and that thing coming into existence is eventually going to be zero.
02:21:51.000So, through technology, we could just pop whatever we want into existence, or maybe through the metaverse or whatever, or some, right?
02:21:59.000So, this is a very, to me, I think, the effort when it comes to that form of regulation is like, it's, I get it, but I think over time, it's like, alright, you're going to have to start regulating a lot of stuff.
02:22:14.000Like, you're going to have to start regulating, like, assholes who want to shoot their own satellites into space and can!
02:23:23.000Once they do that, once they give you digital memories, and they're so much better, you can rewind them, which is really good for security, because sometimes people have two different stories, Duncan, and it would be better if I saw if that guy pulled his gun first.
02:31:41.000I'm not going to go get my laptop table when I want to look at my computer in bed.
02:31:46.000I think the future people that you were talking about, that is going to be one of the things where they're like, yeah, they just put the computers right on their dicks.
02:31:55.000They didn't even think it could be bad for them somehow.
02:32:21.000Not long in the course of human history.
02:32:23.000I wonder if they could actually track, I wonder if anyone's done this, track actual laptop, like sitting it on your laptop use and some form of testicular cancer.
02:33:01.000Is it true that if you rest your laptop on your lap, you could get current scientific evidence indicates there's no link between using a portable laptop computer and cancer?
02:33:09.000Most of the theories about laptops and cancer relate to heat, electromagnetic radiation, or radiation from wireless networks.
02:34:07.000What happens when you press your laptop on your lap?
02:34:10.000Laptops are one of the most common productivity tools today.
02:34:13.000They're portable, convenient, and powerful.
02:34:15.000Contrary to its name, however, a laptop does not belong on your lap unless you want to expose yourself to harmful electromagnetic frequency radiation.
02:34:24.000Laptops emit EMFs in many different frequencies.
02:34:26.000These EMFs can be extremely harmful to your health.
02:34:28.000Your vital organs also get an unhealthy dose of electromagnetic radiation from your laptop computer if you make a habit of actually putting it on your lap.
02:34:37.000How many people read that while it was on their dick?
02:34:45.000Okay, to our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate direct impact of laptop use on human spermatozoa.
02:34:53.000Ex vivo exposure of human spermatozoa to a wireless internet-connected laptop decreased motility and induced DNA fragmentation by a non-thermal effect.
02:36:12.000The Cuban thing where people hear crickets and then they have brain damage.
02:36:16.000They hear like the chirping of cicadas or something and then suddenly for the rest of their lives they have neurological damage and no one knows what it is yet.
02:36:40.000From the last thing that I glanced at, they were saying before that they were thinking that some of it may have been people making things up or they thought people were exaggerating or...
02:37:14.000What is the latest opinion on Havana syndrome?
02:37:18.000Because whatever it was, what they were really terrified of was that someone was going to be able to just fuck with people's heads from a distance.
02:37:24.000So you could point it at the president while he's giving a speech, you could point it at a race car driver in the middle of a turn, you could do whatever you want.
02:37:30.000And if that really came to be, where you can just fuck with someone's head from a distance, Hey man, how is it possible for them to send radio signals through the sky?
02:37:40.000How is it possible for them to send cable signals through the ground and satellite video and stuff that comes from your phone to another phone?
02:37:48.000You don't think it's possible that they could just send some sort of a pulse that directly connects with...
02:37:54.000Whatever the fuck it is that allows you, whether it's hearing, whether it's something, where they can pinpoint an organ in your body and irritate it, and not just your head.
02:38:06.000What if there's something they can do that can impact your heart?
02:38:35.000Could you imagine if electricity worked like a drone?
02:38:40.000You knew where you would send it, you just coordinated it into a thing, and it goes right through the fucking wall and zaps someone in the head, and they just drop dead on the spot.
02:39:47.000You want to talk about mutually assured destruction and people being nice because at any point in time someone could just end you with electricity?
02:40:18.000Dude, it would be, just forget it, like after one fucking night, after one night of Hearthstone, you know, like after one night of any of these games people play, so many people would just kill you if they could.
02:40:53.000If people could just kill people like that with a press of a button, there'd be literally nobody left.
02:40:57.000It would just be people dropping like flies, and you'd want to do somebody before they did you, and people would just start killing each other with electric bolts.
02:42:41.000I mean, this is the scary thing about the world that we're in right now is that if people will do mass shootings, they're using the gun Right.
02:43:14.000Instead of a mass shooting, it's just a bunch of people on a subway just melt because someone sent nanobots into the subway to just destroy them.
02:43:24.000I mean, this is what we're facing as a species, is the inevitable...
02:43:33.000Creation of something that's more accessible than most weapons of mass destruction are now.
02:44:47.000Goddammit, this is the last thing we need.
02:44:49.000It said, listen to this, intelligence officials briefed on the panel's findings, did not say how many cases it had focused on, although they said between 10 and 20 victims were interviewed.
02:44:58.000They said the panel focused on cases in which victims heard a strange sound or felt pressure and then experienced a loss of balance and ear pain.
02:45:06.000In addition, the panel focused on cases in which the victims reported the sounds as coming from a specific location.
02:45:18.000Ultrasound could have caused some of the injuries.
02:45:21.000The panel identified one potential cause, what's called pulsed electromagnetic energy, particularly in the radio frequency range, also known as directed energy.
02:46:02.000You had to kill them with your bare hands and beat them to death.
02:46:04.000And then it became you had to fight things off with sticks and pointed things and weapons.
02:46:09.000And then it became shoot them at a distance with an And throw a spear and all the other different things that people figured out before they figured out guns.
02:46:16.000Now that everybody figured out guns, the smallest child can end your life with a mere pull of a finger.
02:46:46.000So that's new within a few hundred years, right?
02:46:48.000And with pistols and revolvers, it's new from the 1800s.
02:46:51.000I mean, they credit the Colt revolver with being one of the ways that the Cowboys fought off the Comanches when they first started adopting it.
02:47:00.000These revolvers that had more than one bullet in them because it used to be at a musket.
02:47:05.000You had to pack that fucker down and reload and by the time you did that the Native Americans were on you and you were dead.
02:47:14.000That changed Where people could settle and live.
02:47:17.000That changed how they fought war with the Comanche.
02:47:20.000Well, when they did that, they changed the course of history.
02:47:23.000So if it goes from that to everybody can have a gun, like these constitutional carry states, there's like 23 of them now where anybody can have a gun at any time.
02:48:48.000I mean, they're going to, when battery technology and software becomes more efficient, they're going to be able to have these things fly around and look like that.
02:52:48.000No, I think like, and again, the reason I think this is because I was probably taking a shit and like scrolled by something and read it wrong.
02:52:56.000But like I think they, like sometimes they either grow fangs or like they grow like some kind of dinosaur.
02:57:29.000If you're alive on the planet, Whatever your DNA is, it's been getting eaten by shit for a long time.
02:57:36.000Like our ancestors, those little lemur things they say we came from, you know, or if it's monkeys or whatever.
02:57:42.000In our DNA, built into the DNA must be something like, alright, here's what you do when there's no more hope and you're just being eaten alive.
02:57:50.000I'm sure your brain floods with love and psychedelic chemicals.
02:57:56.000You probably trip balls while that lion's eating you.
02:57:59.000Yeah, suddenly you're like, oh, I'm part of everything now.
02:58:03.000I was talking about that in one of my specials.
02:58:06.000It was that there was this area of the Sundarbans where these fishermen got killed by a tiger.
02:58:13.000But it wasn't just the fishermen got killed by a tiger, but the tiger killed them one at a time.
02:58:18.000He swam out there, killed a guy, dragged him into the water, dropped his body off the shore, jumped back in the water.
02:58:48.000We're just being eaten by a tiger right now.
02:58:50.000You know, this is one of the things that I worry about.
02:58:55.000How do we know that we weren't in some spaceship and we got absorbed into some kind of A predator, but the way it eats us is not the way a tiger eats you.
02:59:07.000It eats you by, like, hypnotizing you and then dissolving you for infinity.
02:59:53.000Or it could be just all this chaos is to ensure that we pay attention and we try to improve things and we realize that no intelligent person is running this show.
03:00:35.000Bots, whether it's hired humans that are designed to make up things that separate us or whether it's actual artificial intelligence that's got MAGA flags and it's fucking Twitter bio and they're coming after people.
03:00:52.000In Buddhism intention becomes really important which is because of all this like because of the that everything you just described and my stupid idea of us being eaten by an alien or whatever Ultimately because reality is so incredibly confusing on one level.
03:01:07.000Yeah, we need something Almost like a mnemonic device like a simple thing to revert to and all the confusion which is Seemingly the most obvious cliche thing to say, you can always be kinder.
03:01:23.000In other words, in all the confusion, regardless of whether we're being eaten by an alien, a tiger, bots, an AI bot, or just various propaganda mechanisms trying to confuse us all, we need something to revert to that transcends all that shit.
03:01:40.000Just that basic intent, even if you fail at it every day when you're being selfish shithead or you're in a hurry or whatever it is, if you keep reverting to that intent, this is the...
03:01:52.000Because no matter what, if there is nothing after this, if we are trapped in an alien, if we're in hell, if we're in a simulator, if we're in heaven, whatever the reality may be, I think no one at the other end of the tunnel is going to be like, you asshole.
03:02:07.000You were trying to be kinder all the time when you were around people.
03:02:10.000You were treating other people with respect and dignity, and you were trying to be kind even though you were in a lot of pain, you were scared and angry most of the time.
03:02:19.000You were still trying, you dumb shit, because you were supposed to be mean in there.
