Summary
JT and Top hat are back at it again, and this time they're playing music from Star Control 2, a space game that's a 2D space adventure RPG that's free to play on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
Transcript
00:00:00.000
Testing, testing, testing. Are we broadcasting?
00:00:19.000
yeah I'll tell you what um the stream from a couple days ago went way too long
00:00:29.440
I worry that people will look at like the three hour timeline on that and not click on it when
00:00:37.960
really only the first hour hour and a half was the live stream itself top hat is here
00:00:51.360
Yeah, I was saying that the, that three hour, four hour stream I did a couple days ago,
00:00:57.980
People see that and like, no, I'm not going to click on that.
00:01:12.400
It's a lot easier to do the streams this way and to have the interaction.
00:01:16.460
interaction there's a there's less planning when jt and i sit down and record an independent video
00:01:24.940
there's a ton of more planning that goes into it
00:01:32.380
oh by the way no no reason not to be playing music right now where's
00:01:44.680
i have an hour worth of material to present to people
00:01:50.060
that i want them to hear but i want to want to get out there but then there's also
00:01:55.980
if you have questions if you like the stuff i do we could keep chatting for a bit and that like i'm
00:02:06.420
i'm totally down for that but it's not the same thing as the core content i want to get out there
00:02:14.660
so i think that's what i'm going to start doing i'm going to start doing the streams proper
00:02:24.020
which is less organized less no expectations it might be great might be terrible
00:02:36.560
i might delete it afterwards like if i if it's if i don't think anything really profound is covered
00:02:44.240
then i'll delete it because i don't want to waste anybody like we're kind of having fun
00:02:54.040
But if there's nothing really profound that's covered,
00:03:20.000
I've always been obnoxious for rejecting pop culture.
00:03:26.940
The real irony is the Celtic music I listened to wasn't even tradi-
00:03:30.920
It was like modern Celtic music pretending to be traditional.
00:04:20.000
okay here we go oh so this is uh from the planetary sweet by Holst
00:04:34.000
let me I'm gonna turn this off I'm not worried about the ad revenue getting
00:04:42.300
taken from this one now I should be able to go to OBS I should be able to turn on
00:04:50.480
there we go how many of you guys know the venture brothers this is the planetary
00:05:05.420
Mars the bringer of war for the record when I used to get dressed for military
00:05:21.740
parade i would sometimes play this song so this spoke highly to me
00:06:44.560
so yes uh jazz classical and contemporary pseudo-celtic music that's what i listened to in
00:07:04.720
in my youth okay are the space hippies in star control one no they aren't star control one
00:07:22.140
you know those first person shooters where like it's a tactical shooter except it's not a shooter
00:07:38.620
Like, you can slingshot around planets on the game in real time.
00:07:59.760
So, Star Control 2 takes the battle mechanics and the background and creates an interactive 2D space adventure RPG.
00:08:14.160
By the way, it's free. It's free. It's Urquan Masters. Look up the... I'm going to type this in the chat.
00:09:16.580
and no they the space hippies are not in star control one they are exclusively in star control
00:09:29.880
too. Let me see, just trying to read through the chats. My ballerina, she's a rock head. Yeah,
00:09:56.640
I started listening to classic rock after I got out of the army.
00:10:00.640
So 2008, 2009, I like dived headfirst into classic rock.
00:10:09.700
Johnny Cash, like all of the old classic music.
00:10:16.740
I'll be honest, I almost never listen to music these days.
00:10:19.560
Oh, and let's get more of that. Speaking of music
00:10:41.880
Do you know of Westcroft Ludin? Do I tell come lighten?
00:10:49.560
Oh jeez, and he's in Alberta. West Scott Ludin. Okay, let me...
00:11:43.120
is that everybody you meet is, like, half a world away.
00:12:00.840
but the the distance did not help. I live in Alberta. Her family lives in Texas.
00:12:19.840
I certainly hope her memories of me aren't too angry.
00:12:21.840
angry and lighten misspell let me see if I can find this
00:13:05.360
Well, I'm subscribed to him, three more links, he's got a Twitter, Enlightenchan, all right,
00:13:16.180
let me check this out, yeah, I'll just leave that link open,
00:13:35.360
Based upon this busyonomy, either we'll get along really well or we'll hate each other.
00:14:04.640
I got introduced to it by another guy in the army.
00:14:08.100
He was like, Brock Sampson's an absolute beast.
00:14:24.940
No matter how, like, God, they get kicked down so much.
00:14:31.460
But they keep showing up every day. As douchey and ridiculous as all of them are, they keep showing up.
1.00
00:14:50.760
Oh my god, it's been on Top Chat the whole time, too. Damn it.
0.99
00:14:54.780
You need to switch to live chat to actually see all the comments.
0.99
00:15:15.060
Oh, my first attempt at writing a novel when I was a teenager involved that the...
00:15:31.460
the Vivaldi's three seasons or whatever was playing in the background but but
00:15:40.620
the prospective character only recognized it as the music from that
00:15:45.740
furniture commercial back in the 90s they loved playing Vivaldi for furniture
00:16:01.460
What I didn't know is that Starflight is apparently a Star Trek TOS game in all but name.
00:16:22.880
It's kind of a, it's a roguelike, jump from system to system, boost the systems on your, your, your Starfleet spacecraft.
00:16:42.260
If it looks like something you'd like, give it a shot.
00:16:45.120
But again, it's really particular if you like that sort of a game.
00:17:05.360
There you go, Blazingo is checking out Star Control.
00:17:08.060
Again, Urquan Masters is the best version of Star Control.
00:17:17.560
Berkwan Masters has the voice files, the music.
00:17:32.880
She wrote it down, then I moved to the used and whole.
00:18:39.800
Young is not comfortable, but my question is always,
00:19:01.300
Honestly, I very much am a post-Catholic these days.
00:19:10.220
I wish I could just point you to the giant institution and say that this institution has it all figured out.
00:19:23.980
Don't worry, they will train you to be a Jedi Knight.
00:19:36.580
I believe for some people it's the right institution.
0.89
00:19:40.220
I believe they're about 95% correct, but ironically, it's the 5%, the 5% that are so damned important.
0.59
00:19:58.720
Like, listen, if you're at the 50%, which nobody here is, if you're at 50%, it doesn't matter what church you go to.
0.98
00:20:05.940
You can be a Muslim, you can be a Buddhist, you can be a Protestant, you can be whatever.
0.61
00:20:15.560
90% of religions understand how to wipe their ass.
0.99
00:20:25.820
which, like, gross ballpark, I'd say at least, like, everybody here is at 80%.
00:20:48.180
A lot of it's going to be based upon temperament.
00:20:53.520
You're temperamentally suited to it, or you aren't.
00:21:04.860
That's just that's biology. That's not moral judgment upon you. That's you may or may not be suited to it
00:21:21.120
What was my favorite adult swim show? Honestly probably Venture Brothers
00:21:34.860
I was a terrible rake in college, everybody compared me to him, even though I'm really
00:22:17.020
Do you think immigration is God's punishment on the West?
00:22:21.860
no more than I think that AIDS is God's punishment upon the gay community.
1.00
00:22:45.440
You know, every so often, I like to belligerently post on Twitter that so-and-so deserved it.
00:23:08.580
Deserved it is one of the most offensive statements that you can make these days.
0.99
00:23:13.760
People lose their shit when you say that so-and-so deserved the consequences of their actions.
0.99
00:23:28.340
HIV was a consequence of the sexual behavior, which was completely out of control in the 70s and 80s.
0.99
00:23:55.020
of certain normative precepts that we adopted in the West.
00:24:05.140
And so in one sense, yeah, in that case it's deserved.
00:24:33.640
Deserve is a beautiful fiction, but it is a fiction.
00:24:44.360
Have you ever explored the links between New Age Paganism, the van der Vogel, Hitler Youth,
00:24:52.640
SS and the Hippies, free love movements in the 60s?
0.73
00:24:56.800
and in particular Blazing Noah, but I think I know what you're getting at, and it's one
00:25:06.560
of the things I am cautious, I'm very, very cautious about.
00:25:27.840
okay so my basic training as a historian is to understand the historical context
00:25:33.840
within we within which each historian is writing so i just uh
00:26:08.480
I decided to order a physical copy because I think this book is worth it.
00:26:14.120
But I, I, oh thank goodness, it's not that long either.
00:26:19.400
the cessation of oracles by Plutarch. So this was written in about 100 AD, about 100 AD,
00:26:31.640
about the oracles going silent, allegedly. And Plutarch, being a proper historian,
00:26:53.380
from the perspective of a highly educated man in the first century AD.
00:27:00.680
One of the first things you need to do as a historian
00:27:03.080
is to read all historical documents in context.
00:27:10.120
I have heard stories about the voices of gods disappearing.
00:27:22.640
There's a particular passage in that book that the early Christians attributed to the death of Christ on the cross.
00:27:40.120
I have immense respect for Christ as a spiritual figure.
00:27:57.360
I'd like to see what Lutarch's raw words, how they stand up to that.
00:28:10.120
there's also a correlation between gods going silent
00:28:36.540
Actually, I think my next test for artificial intelligence is going to be telepathy, which
00:29:31.860
flavors, there's ideological presuppositions. As much as I endorse the
00:29:39.240
Caballion, the Caballion is clearly a late, a late 19th century document.
00:29:52.980
Doesn't mean you shouldn't read it, doesn't mean it doesn't have the secret
00:30:11.320
Esteban says that guy he linked me to, he's been going hell with the courts and his marriage.
1.00
00:30:33.880
I think immigration is us punishing ourselves for creating a successful civilization because
0.85
00:31:02.560
I mean, Blazin' Noah, if you really got something to say, you know you got AI.
00:31:08.920
They could write it for you, if you're a bad writer.
00:31:17.740
on coming up with a good tagline for the stream
00:31:24.520
her and i have been back and forth like we've god we've been discussing these concepts
00:31:43.860
and so the intro was mostly written by her but she also suggested
00:31:49.000
that i refer to my own journey on the tree of life that i make it personal
00:31:55.840
that was her suggestion i'm like you know it's not a bad suggestion
00:32:09.940
Scowls, I love you, man, but I don't understand any of your comments.
00:32:28.420
I'll be honest, I'm probably not going to play it.
00:32:39.940
One of the problems with getting older is that you view everything, it's harder and
00:33:02.840
harder to view things for what they are and you view them more and more as part of the
00:33:10.520
industry and through the lens of other things you're just you're not fresh to them
00:33:16.460
so you know i view um fallout one fallout like i'm still back when i was a kid playing those
00:33:31.380
things, and I see them, and, you know, I replay them, and I see them for what they are. I see
00:33:35.380
their limitations. I see their, their virtues, their vices.
00:33:57.280
Which is not to discredit it. It's pretty good.
00:34:01.380
and i got some i might make some complaints about the game like the multi-ethnic thing is
0.95
00:34:06.900
just retarded got people with five different skin colors living in one place
0.87
00:34:25.620
historically accurate or very similitude would be that
0.92
00:34:31.380
And you would have travelers of different skin colors visiting the region.
00:34:41.980
But the Druid Circle would all be of one dominant race in the game, but species.
00:34:49.500
Like, they'd either be dwarves, they'd either be humans, they'd either be elves.
00:34:57.900
i need to have visiting traders hell i'm of the opinion that um christ's uncle probably brought
00:35:09.380
him to britain christ probably talked to the druids with his uncle who was a merchant that
00:35:14.000
is a theory i've run into that makes a lot of sense i think christ actually did have a world-based
00:35:21.620
knowledge. But they'd be the exceptions. They wouldn't be marrying and becoming the local
00:35:31.880
bailiff or whatever modern heresy is being shoved upon us.
00:35:51.620
I'll blaze, I know what can write as pro wrestling angles.
00:36:04.620
says he wrote some Transformers and Star Wars fanfics when he was in school?
00:36:08.220
Dude, don't act like that's something to be ashamed of.
00:37:14.740
It's like being a bodybuilder. It's like anything else in life, man.
00:37:18.960
Do you want to be a bodybuilder? Do you want to be a strongman competition?
00:37:37.920
Yeah, you're probably not going to be successful.
00:37:39.740
it's like 0.1 percent get to be successful everybody else gets forgotten but if you write
00:37:48.200
a decent novel if you run a good hundred meter if you i don't know if you you rope the calves
00:37:59.820
you ride the stallion something nobody can take from you you went out you played the game you did
1.00
00:38:07.180
so go fucking do it motherfucker just fucking do it do it you're probably not
1.00
00:38:17.620
gonna make a million dollars probably not gonna get remembered but that's that's
1.00
00:38:22.180
not you don't do it to get remembered you do it that you can remember that you
00:38:29.800
didn't that you had the cojones the commitment the tenacity to do something
00:38:46.540
or don't or don't also you don't have to you're not a loser if you don't
00:38:54.180
You know what? It's also perfectly allowed to be kind of talented at art, kind of talented
00:39:06.460
at hockey, and then you just decide to make a lot of money. Have a wife, make some kids,
00:39:13.860
raise them right. That's also allowed, man. There's some basic rules to this life. You
0.56
00:39:23.420
You gotta pay rent, you gotta pay food, get your shit together, have a retirement plan.
0.98
00:39:35.340
But once you do those rules, okay, now what do you want to do?
00:39:50.400
Do something that will make you proud of yourself.
0.99
00:40:27.160
Wait, can I, let me see if we can look it up here.
00:40:41.160
Oh, here we go, alright, I'm going to, we're going to let JT's song finish, Saffron Scale
00:41:11.160
I'm gonna give you some, uh, analysis of the song to make it fair use.
00:41:41.160
okay I'm gonna interject I literally just built this thing there we go I like
00:41:57.480
digging holes hiding things inside them I hope when I get old I won't forget to
00:42:04.440
find them. Yeah, like save for retirement kids. There is something very Babylonian about that
00:42:25.620
necklace she's wearing. It does look like a lock upon her, which makes me worry, but anyway.
00:42:34.440
I fill the home and wait for someone to tear it down
00:43:03.840
we just keep traveling and looking for somewhere to belong I've got no roots
00:43:18.480
but my home was never on the ground I've got no roots but my home was never on
00:43:25.020
the ground I've got no roots I mean there's an obvious programming of this
00:43:38.580
that you should just accept I'll own nothing and be happy but there's also
00:43:42.360
some integrity in that who the hell of us has roots anymore
00:44:00.840
It's also very ironic that the whole video is filmed inside of a tenement.
00:44:19.480
Like, she doesn't travel, she lives in a tenement, exactly like every other tenement.
00:44:30.840
It's just the place that changes, the rest is still the same.
00:44:35.100
But I've got memories, I travel like tipsies in the night.
0.98
00:44:43.340
Some of us keep glamorizing this lonely, lonely fucking life that we all have to leave.
0.85
00:44:50.600
I've got no roots for my home, was never all around, I've got no roots for my home.
0.97
00:44:57.060
And yet this is also the part that speaks to me.
00:45:00.840
I've always felt like a visitor on this planet.
00:45:15.140
No proper home, not proper embedding in anything.
00:45:19.540
I've tried hard with the most to honor my bloodline, honor my military banner, honor my society, and the society's just not interested in it, is it?
00:45:33.460
saving up for retirement I might not know home but I am saving up for retirement
00:46:04.340
Anyway, I do actually quite like that song quite a bit.
00:46:12.340
So I don't know if it's fair to say there are no good songs.
00:47:33.440
Universalism is kind of present in the Bible from day one.
1.00
00:48:03.440
Ah, brother, I'm, I'll be honest, like, the nature of the Christ meat, it's too damn
1.00
00:48:23.480
I'm just, temperamentally, I'm not Jewish, man.
0.98
00:48:26.660
Temperamentally, I'm tragic, I'm optimistic, I'm passionate, I'm brokenhearted.
0.93
00:49:07.620
I have great love and admiration for Jesus Christ.
00:49:17.140
I don't know if that makes me a bad Catholic or a great Catholic.
00:49:43.220
I would like to become friends with a really good priest. That would be interesting. That would be fun.
00:49:53.220
I have no argument with Catholicism. I just feel very orthogonal to it.
0.81
00:50:21.800
I was thinking about writing a Godzilla vs. Transformers fanfic eventually, so I might
00:50:31.660
Alright, Top Hat, let me give you a suggestion.
00:50:43.040
what is the core element? What is Transformers in your mind? What is Godzilla in your mind?
00:50:53.600
This is a great starting place, okay? But don't, don't limit it to the franchises that you're
00:51:02.900
referencing so so like i don't know what they mean to you but i would interpret transformers
00:51:17.040
as an alien mechanical intelligence that had perfected mechanization they turned they turned
00:51:31.280
machines into the good, but they lost the biological in the process. They weren't, they
00:51:40.720
weren't evil machines like in the Matrix, they were good machines, but they'd forgotten
00:51:45.220
the biological. Well, well, um, who is it? Godzilla. Godzilla is the biological revenge
00:52:11.320
So you've got two complete total opposites here.
00:52:22.120
and what might the conflict between these two be
0.50
00:52:33.640
if you tie it into autobots and and uh godzilla you are locking yourself into all of this
0.99
00:52:54.920
Could you write this story with new characters?
00:53:05.180
You know, when they did Terminator 2, Terminator 1, Terminator 2,
00:53:09.360
they didn't need to spend hours and hours and hours explaining to us how the machines evolved.
00:53:27.440
Like, you don't need 20 episodes of Autobots vs. Decepticons.
00:53:34.840
You can introduce the premise of your machine characters in, like, a paragraph or two.
00:53:41.920
and then explore how they're both naive and brutal like if they're like good
00:54:04.140
well the Godzilla is naive and justified that's an interesting conflict right
0.99
00:54:18.020
start with like you're basing it yet you're inspired by this stuff
0.77
00:54:27.300
but you're moving beyond it that's what you're doing for the story
00:54:34.140
Thank you, Noah, if you enjoyed my novel. I really appreciate that.
00:54:46.140
Oh, Butterfly, I would love to see your paintings.
00:54:55.140
Revive Old Motorcycles at Spiritual? Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, brother.
00:55:04.140
Yeah, Top Hat Jake, the hardest part of novels is finishing the damn things.
0.99
00:56:28.500
That's the thing that is the transformation they were waiting for.
0.98
00:56:38.500
You can delete my whole fucking channel, but you can't change that instantiation of truth.

So I gotta use gasoline and Zippo get the opposite effect
00:58:00.980
This is not a Zippo by the way, it's a custom lighter with the
00:58:06.120
Middle of St. Benedict on it and it auto lights when you push the button
00:58:12.260
mostly and part of the design of these type of lighters they're supposed to
00:58:18.260
work on any inflammable substance not just the naphtha I put in them but also
00:58:23.900
gasoline or diesel I haven't really tested it though
00:58:35.380
top hat jacks has roots and he's damn proud of them good good
00:58:42.260
Yeah, I think this song is a little bit subversive, but I do like the song.
00:58:55.660
I'd really like to establish a strong bloodline.
00:59:30.260
see through the illusion and to tell others about it.
00:59:37.380
There's nothing that would make me happier than building a family.
01:00:03.380
I have no idea what the fuck you're saying.

01:00:06.980
Daniel Boone is an uncle of yours, that is very cool.

01:00:29.040
It's so important to know where you came from, to know who your ancestors were, to know what
01:00:33.660
they did even the in fact I even say it's more important to know the mundane
01:00:45.100
things they did you know it's funny everybody wants to be a hero in warfare
01:00:54.980
they want blow up the Death Star they want to be Luke Skywalker
0.99
01:01:00.740
Now, I dare say that what matters a lot more is all the mundane shit you do.
0.98
01:01:16.380
All the times you act like a good son even when you're exasperated.
0.98
01:01:22.580
At times he acts like a good friend, for no benefit.
01:01:36.580
This is one thing that Lord of the Rings completely got right.
01:01:40.780
The real hero of Lord of the Rings is Samwise Ganji.
01:01:44.840
He's just a good, he's a good gardener, a good servant, and a good friend to Frodo.
01:01:54.840
Frodo never could have destroyed the One Ring without Samwise.
01:02:03.200
And you'll note that Samwise is really the only character that gets a happy ending.
01:02:07.400
Frodo sacrifices his entire soul to destroy the One Ring.
01:02:16.100
He is so burned out by the end. Samwise gets a good happy ending. Samwise is a good man to be.
01:02:26.540
I strongly advocate being Samwise Gamgee, not Frodo.
01:03:37.400
You need an elder that gives a shit about you.
0.99
01:03:47.680
You need an elder, a grandfather, who's up your blood, who's invested in the future of
0.99
01:04:21.540
Far too many of our parents got divorced, and even the ones that didn't, their only
01:04:29.540
legacy is a 401k from the corporations they work for.
01:04:41.540
Inheritance is not about assets. Inheritance is about reputation, about business,
01:04:51.700
about participation in the local community. But the local community resets every five
01:04:57.700
fucking years we're all just role playing at being members of the community
0.95
01:05:08.580
so you've got nothing to inherit my grandfather lived in toronto both my grandfathers lived in
0.98
01:05:13.940
toronto and i've got nothing to do with toronto 15 years back
01:05:23.300
i was working for the commissionaires which is uh doesn't matter security company for ex-military
01:05:32.120
members and and this old man saw me in my commissioner uniform and he saw my last name
01:05:40.160
he said arini are you by any chance related to leo arini my great-grandfather
01:05:49.000
and i said yes he was my great grandpa and he he said to me he was a very scary man
01:06:33.240
By the way, when I was a teenager, I inherited his old cowboy boots because he was an oil
01:06:55.400
My bloodline means a lot to me, but it doesn't mean a lot to anybody else.
01:07:56.120
And oftentimes it seems like our parents are more interested in fighting over assets
01:08:01.200
that's been leaving something to the future generations?
01:08:23.200
And so yeah, I also feel like a transient in exile.
01:08:31.200
I always loved the House of Elrond in Lord of the Rings because I felt like home.
01:08:38.200
I felt like maybe I could build a home that other people could come to.
01:09:14.200
Merchant cities are always very multicultural. Absolutely.
01:09:35.200
Skiles McDowell says, if you ask God for strength, you might have too much strength. You dig?
01:10:14.200
I'm glad you didn't get- I am glad you did not get tattoos, Butterfly.
01:10:26.820
No hate for people that got tattoos, but there's so few of us that didn't.
01:10:36.500
Let's see Top Hat says I think the Decepticons evade Earth and as humanity is faced with this
01:10:48.000
powerless Godzilla who has already been a major threat to humanity
01:10:56.300
I think the greater evil okay you know that's interesting I'm liking that
01:11:36.500
Okay, so in Star Trek, they had teleporters to save money on special effects on a shuttle landing on the planet.
01:11:55.620
They invented the teleporter to get Captain Kirk onto the planet so we could deal with it forthright.
01:12:06.500
Godzilla was a man in a rubber lizard costume to represent the horrors of industrialism,
01:12:36.500
Reconsider how your heroes and villains need to be represented.
01:12:58.900
I mean, at the basic level, it's biology versus science.
01:13:23.620
What's the core of the conflict that you want to illustrate?
01:13:28.900
Listen, you can start with Transformers vs. Godzilla, you can start with that, and you
01:13:36.400
can wind up with something incredibly unique, incredibly weird, incredibly good.
01:13:46.780
Yeah, like, Godzilla wouldn't necessarily be good, but he's not evil.
01:14:04.820
So, you got this technocratic solution that inevitably creates a biological backlash.
01:14:16.780
This event says, in the writing process, have you ever called something, as in your creative
01:14:33.560
interaction with the zeitgeist, and you pick up on coming world events?
01:15:01.060
but he pointed out that they weren't post-apocalyptic
01:15:09.700
complaining that nobody understood how technology worked that was contemporary to 2010
01:15:16.080
no they were at they were absolutely part of the system
01:16:09.700
Goodness, I swear, if we actually looked at our genealogy, we'd be like 30% related.
01:16:39.700
Over up on the wall, you can't see it, but just behind the monitor is my great-grandfather's
01:17:10.980
Hmm should I make Godzilla like he is in the recent American films a super predator?
01:17:18.340
King of the monsters and keep the other feet. No abs. No, absolutely not. It would have been the biggest
01:17:23.600
just law in Godzilla Godzilla Godzilla as at least as I understand it in the
01:17:44.440
Japanese tradition, here's more of a response to the nuclear weapons
01:17:56.860
disrupted the natural order, which they did. And they angered a primordial chthonic
0.95
01:18:19.340
and he rose up in anger with violent destructive force against anybody that
01:18:28.080
cooperated with that that's what Godzilla is a chthonic deity that's angry at the
01:18:55.320
Hey, top hat check, you can remix this any way you want.
01:19:09.220
In fact, maybe, maybe figure out your characters.
01:19:16.220
Figure out your characters, walk them down good paths.
01:19:22.220
And then let the chthonic deities speak for themselves.
01:19:39.220
Listen, uh, Godzilla was constantly a response to, he was a particularized Japanese response
01:20:28.680
It's a primordial response to poisoning our own environment.
01:21:00.040
It's a question, how ought we to interpret the nuclear bomb?
01:21:05.680
I mean, the same thing as Terminator. Terminator is how ought we to incorporate artificial intelligence.
01:21:24.680
I think we ought to interpret artificial intelligence as mirror.
01:22:15.800
We have engineered a black mirror that reflects ourselves with the AI.
01:22:33.680
Godzilla is about us reflecting the environment against us.
01:23:04.400
We need to take good moral responsibility for this earth.
01:23:29.920
Could you write a good story about Anima vs. Anima?
01:23:48.320
Could you write one where Godzilla and technology get along?
01:24:09.000
Reverse gaslighting. Exactly. God damn it, man. Exactly. Reverse. Can we reverse gaslight everybody?
01:25:20.180
You crazy bastards keep solving the problems
