00:02:39.120I will talk to anyone who wants to call me, but I ask for a certain amount of money for the time that I spend.
00:02:48.120And there's a lot of different uses for this.
00:02:50.220We can go into, Davis, but that's sort of the basic introduction or overview of the concept.
00:02:57.500So it's just Skype for toll calling, really.
00:03:00.840Yeah, and it's much quicker and easier to set up.
00:03:03.960then like it's it's it's a 1 900 number for the for the internet age where there's video enabled
00:03:10.460if that's if that's useful to you um it's much easier to set up i see a lot of potential with
00:03:16.720it and so when uh when i heard about it i was trying to think of what i can bring to the market
00:03:23.040there because i think there's a huge market for contractors um computer repair like that stuff
00:03:29.660and in my case so it you know it says it right down there in the title is i've been contacted
00:03:35.700by a couple of people over the years about doing life coaching for them and this is something now
00:03:42.260i'm very you know you guys know i'm very cynical about a lot of therapy out there a lot of self
00:03:48.060help um a lot of people they don't apply that okay like the best self-help book is the one that
00:03:53.480people buy every single edition rather than actually improving their life and moving on
00:03:57.920So it is something I'm hesitant about, but I've had some good results.
00:04:03.000And so that's the primary thrust I'm doing with Praxy.
00:04:09.160I don't know if it's going to take off, but basically what you're doing.
00:04:14.040See, if you want to send me a message on Twitter or email or Facebook or whatever, I'll get back to you.
00:04:22.180I don't want to be ā I'm not going to refuse to talk to you unless you pay me.
00:04:25.960but with the praxi thing and with the life coaching thing basically what you're doing
00:04:31.460is you're you're paying for my undivided attention you know you're paying for me to
00:04:36.520you know sit my ass down and you know and give you my full attention um you know when you're
00:04:44.460going to get a response back from me etc etc just because quite frankly time is limited and i wish
00:04:50.440i had all the time in the world but i don't and so i guess that's yeah that's the main thing i'm
00:04:55.600doing with it. If you're looking for someone, if you have something in your life that, you know,
00:04:59.380you're trying to dig yourself out of a pit, if you're trying to, you know, whatever, you know,
00:05:05.620that's what I'm hoping to use it for. And if that sounds useful to you guys, then, you know,
00:05:12.980there's a link down below. I have a page set up on my website. But there's, see, here's the thing,
00:05:20.880If you are, like I said, I don't want to charge time for just hanging out, but that's not the only way you can use it.
00:05:28.440If there's some other way you want to contact me and you want to pay for it, you know, I'm charging a buck a minute.
00:05:35.180You know, usually the life coaching lasts about half an hour, so it's 30 minutes.
00:05:38.640There's an initial fee, like you pay for the first five minutes, and then it's a buck for every additional minute.
00:05:47.080So, yeah, that's what I'm doing with it.
00:05:48.940and you know maybe it'll take off maybe there's some of you that that want that service um or
00:05:54.920maybe not but the big thing with me is i like the idea of praxi and i think there's a lot of you
00:06:03.100guys out there that you might have your own businesses that you could use with it um so
00:06:10.020steven why don't you talk about like some of the potential applications like what i'm doing is a
00:06:15.360very niche thing with it. I don't think it's mostly going to be life coaches on Praxy. I think
00:06:21.580there's a lot of other potential for it. Yeah. The potential use cases are really vast.
00:06:30.000I've had the list of several dozen that I've come up with that may or may not work. It's like you
00:06:36.000said with yours, it's an experiment. You're going to put yourself out there and make yourself
00:06:42.040available and see what people use it for. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. Maybe you modify it,
00:06:47.580maybe you change the message. And it's just an iterative process, I think, of trying to find a
00:06:53.520way, finding a way to do that. What do people want to talk to you? For example, you write books,
00:07:00.400you have a blog, podcast, videos. What is it that people would want to talk to you about?
00:07:08.180Maybe they want to give you feedback. But there's so many other possible uses for this. And really, the message I want to deliver to your viewers is to think about the business that you're in right now and however it is you make money and ask yourself, would there be a demand for your customers or related clients?
00:07:38.180that affect your business to pay for someone's time for a video chat or audio call on demand.
00:07:48.700That, I think, at this point is probably the best way to look at it,
00:07:54.180where you already have an existing customer base,
00:07:57.380and you think, how can I have an add-on service?
00:08:02.400If you have a local trade business, maybe you're giving, you're offering your customers something that differentiates you and sets you apart from all the other competition.
00:08:12.700I mean, if you have a local, whatever, HVAC service or plumbing business or really anything where generally people will pay you and you have an initial fee to come out and you might say, well, I don't want to let them call me because I want them to pay to come out.
00:08:30.640But the thing is, if you offer that and no one else does, yes, some people will call you remotely and maybe then won't have you come out.
00:08:38.520But other people might call you remotely because they just want to have a talk to someone remote.
00:08:43.780And then now you're in, in a certain sense.
00:08:46.160And if you can build up their confidence in you and you get that initial contact with them, then they might be a follow-on ad service.
00:08:54.980It's like then if they do have work to do, they have already ā you've given them that new way of reaching out to you that other people in your field haven't because they don't know about this technology.
00:09:16.880But, you know, I was going to say I see a lot of potential with this.
00:09:20.740Again, like my brother-in-law is a plumber.
00:09:22.300and you know he doesn't spend most of his time fixing toilets he spends a lot of his time just
00:09:27.120doing weird stuff like this one time a guy hired him to put um heated pipes in his driveway so he
00:09:33.760didn't have to shovel it and that winter he found out all the deer were congregated on his front lawn
00:09:39.200so he gets a lot of weird stuff like that and i'm going to recommend this to him
00:09:45.360because like the thing is that money talks you know as beckloff has pointed out on his live stream
00:09:51.280that when he has advertisers, it's you guys listening, you're the product, you know, like,
00:09:57.320but if you guys are backing the podcast, you're the customer, right? And so like, if I phone up
00:10:04.220a plumber, and say, and you know, I'm talking on the phone, he's not making any money, right? Okay,
00:10:09.380like, he does want my business, but he's not fully engaged, where areas something like this,
00:10:15.380you know if you phone up the plumber with praxi now he's getting money okay so now he's fully
00:10:22.980engaged and that's kind of what i'm saying with the life coaching thing is that um i'm like if
00:10:27.280you're paying me i'm fully engaged you know uh where areas if you ask me a really weird question
00:10:32.680and it would take like a half hour to write out a response and you're not paying me i'm just going
00:10:37.620to say go check out the roosh v form the answer's on there so that that's that's the solution that
00:10:43.840Praxy is offering. It basically works exactly like a Skype call connected with a 1-900 number.
00:10:52.660And so the customer puts in their credit card information, phones you up, and you give them
00:11:01.220your dedicated attention to whatever it is. And this is with audio and with video.
00:11:07.020yeah you nailed it i mean it's it's really like you know a lot of times this this when you're
00:11:16.440trying to call somebody and you need a piece of information or you need to tap into their
00:11:21.220expertise or knowledge or or experience but you have nothing to offer them you know i make these
00:11:27.120calls sometime and it's like i want to pay you you know i honestly do not mind paying you for
00:11:31.640your time. I hate getting spam calls. I hate getting calls where I'm not benefiting, but
00:11:37.160there's no real mechanism for you, for me to do that. So you end up like basically pleading
00:11:42.940with the person, hoping that they're in a good mood, hoping that they have spare time.
00:11:46.640But the whole time you just feel like they're just trying to get you off the phone. And
00:11:49.720it's like, but when you pay, the chemistry of the call changes. Now they want to help
00:11:56.280you. They want to make it worth their while. They know that you're paying them. And there
00:12:00.360is a service called Clarity FM, which is somewhat similar, although it's not on-demand calling,
00:12:05.800and it's only for entrepreneurs, and I've used that, and I can tell you, when you talk to
00:12:11.460somebody on the phone who you're paying for their time, it's almost like an interesting study in
00:12:17.380human psychology, because when you pay for something, the person appreciates it, and you
00:12:22.660appreciate it, and you feel like it's just a very pleasant conversation. It's like, wow,
00:12:28.540You know, you feel like you've made a friend in a certain sense.
00:12:32.280Not saying the person is your friend, but they treat you like a friend because, you know, as people who believe in the free market, you know, there's nothing more civilizing than commerce.
00:12:44.680And so this is really a way to, you know, the bigger picture here is really a way for people to talk to each other.
00:12:53.960You know, I mean, there's every problem, whatever problems you're facing in your life, whether it be professional, your relationships, you know, even just problems when you're worried about the state of the world and, you know, there are other people out there who are thinking about this, worrying about these issues and to reach out and connect can really, it can become, it can be therapeutic if nothing else.
00:13:19.440But it could also yield really good insights that you might otherwise struggle to try to get to and then on your own and make mistakes.
00:13:28.840And so, yeah, having the ability to pay people, you know, this is something I always think about with the complaints people make about the mainstream media, which is, you know, they're obviously, yeah, they mislead us and stuff.
00:25:55.560They don't, you know, like older people a lot of times are not tech savvy.
00:25:58.500So like situations like that, it's just a brand new service you can offer if you're an IT repair tech person.
00:26:05.480I mean, any kind of repair business, this is great, you know.
00:26:09.200And that's actually a perfect example as well, where if you just phone up the 1-800 number for tech service, like with computer problems,
00:26:16.440there's gonna you get some trained monkey over in india that just says you know well reboot your
00:26:22.320computer did it reboot now do that and they they run you through 45 minutes of stuff you already
00:26:28.480did before you make the call right and whereas if you get a an independent guy that knows knows
00:26:35.380computers and you can just say that to him it's like all right listen i've rebooted it i've done
00:26:40.280and you're paying him so you actually have his attention and so what that 45 minutes that you
00:26:46.020wasted with the 1-800 number, what's that worth to you as the customer? Would you rather waste
00:26:54.84045 minutes or would you rather pay somebody that knows what they're doing to get you to the problem
00:26:58.500faster? Yeah. I mean, a lot of customer service, it's sort of a loss, a cost center. So they're
00:27:05.280not really trying to equality. I mean, they've already made the sale. They know they have to
00:27:08.880have it. So they put it in there. But like I talked to an HVAC guy yesterday and he was saying,
00:27:14.580And there actually used to be a similar service like this called Fountain, which was specifically for home improvement.
00:27:20.700It was bought out and just as a weird, interesting story, but it was phased out by the company that bought it soon afterwards.
00:27:27.940But so he used to take a lot of calls.
00:27:30.280And he said, you know, other HVAC people would call him because the problem is if they were relatively new and they would call the manufacturers of these units,
00:28:24.400Yeah, and I mean abstracting that into just more even just more conceptual, what you're dealing with is cultivation of like information.
00:28:34.320And it seems to me there's types of information which if you were having revenue, a stream of revenue coming off of them, there'd be an incentive to really produce good information which otherwise you wouldn't be done.
00:28:52.760Like, the example I always think of is my city paper has, like, things to do around town, and it's just sort of a throwaway.
00:29:03.020They don't spend a lot of time on it because it's just off the side of someone's desk.
00:29:07.600But if you went to them and said, hey, why don't you, like, set up this hotline on Praxy where people can call, get restaurant reviews, talk to people who have been to different restaurants or what's coming up.
00:29:16.380Now, all of a sudden, again, it's like you're getting paid.
00:29:19.340you see that money coming in so you have a real interest in making sure that people are getting
00:29:23.280value and there's a lot of different situations where it seems to me that though that would exist
00:29:29.040where the internet has made so much information available for free that but sometimes if you don't
00:29:36.240like find a way to to hedge it in and charge for access you're not actually going to produce good
00:29:41.920information and so i'm just trying to find ways i mean i'll be interested if praxi takes off
00:29:46.940to see different kinds of ways people can use this to create value and have a sustainable business
00:29:58.520because they're incentivized, people are calling them, so I don't know.
00:30:03.240I honestly don't know how people will use it. I'm interested to see.
00:30:06.800Well, you know what? It strikes me as very much related to the two directions that society is moving in.
00:30:14.140On the one hand, we have the globalist centralization phenomenon, the corporate phenomenon, where there actually is no responsibility.
00:30:24.100Nobody at the corporation is responsible for what's going on.
00:30:28.460And when you phone them to ask, why doesn't my stupid phone work?
00:30:32.080You know, you get the lowest guy on the totem pole that doesn't know anything whatsoever.
00:30:37.840And so that's the one force which I think we're all fighting against.
00:30:41.940is very depersonalizing, dehumanizing, atomizing.
00:30:46.400And then you have the traditionalist responsibility,
00:30:52.600individuals, but also hierarchy and authority.
00:30:57.100And so I don't think this is reaching at all.
00:31:00.240Practically, what you're doing is you're reaching out
00:31:02.140to an authority that's going to be responsible.
00:31:08.600So rather than throwing your money into the corporation, which it just slides into an abyss, you don't know where it goes.
00:31:15.920You're putting your money and your attention and your resources into an authoritative expert on something, and you know what you're getting.
00:31:27.260You know, somebody that's invested in making you, the customer, happy.
00:32:02.860And I feel like a lot of people are very atomized and they're looking and what do you see, you know, what's on the national news, federal, you know, the world stage and people are obsessed with it and they lose touch of the individuals around them and the individuals.
00:32:21.160And so this is kind of like a way to say, you know, to have those connections with people where, yes, they're helping you and you're feeling like you're connecting, you know.
00:32:33.860And that's why I think, like, for people who have online presences like you, it could even go beyond, and I mentioned this to you off the air, it could even go beyond, like, I want help from you, but I actually just want to meet you, you know.
00:32:48.060like i've been watching your videos for years you know and i have never talked to you uh except for
00:32:54.400the last week when i reached first reached out to you and it's like there have been times i
00:32:59.480watched your videos i was like that's really interesting and it's like if you if you had said
00:33:04.680i'm available you know you can call me and and i want to support your show you know it's like i
00:33:11.720call you i say that was all right maybe i relate to you oh you know something similar happened to
00:33:16.180me. And like, and it's, we have a short conversation and, and, and guess what? Now I'm like super loyal
00:33:21.640to you because now it's like, I've vested time. I've vested money. I've talked to you. I feel
00:33:28.060like I'm, I feel like I'm part of your team. I'm like, you know, I feel like maybe I've influenced
00:33:32.520your content. I've influenced your thinking. Like, so this is a way, and I, whenever I talk
00:33:38.400to people who have really big audiences, a lot of times they say something similar to what you
00:33:43.100were talking about, which is they, they want to scale, you know, it's not worth my time. But I'd
00:33:48.960say like, look, these, this is your base, you know, let them call you because once somebody
00:33:53.820talks to you, they pay for your time, they are going to be so dedicated and loyal. They're going
00:33:58.180to be buying your books more, they're gonna be consuming your content more. So yeah, I mean,
00:34:03.320I just think like, like I said, there's, there's really like a feel that comes when you're paying
00:34:08.200for someone's time they know it and and it's it's just a real respect and uh that that you don't get
00:34:15.320a lot of times these days where there's not i mean you know everyone everyone gives you the
00:34:22.660culture everyone you don't know who's not your friend is just like these days you know well
00:34:27.840there's no love you know we're in a um it's uh like it's a it's i don't know if it's a
00:34:33.920contradiction or not but see part of the reason we have these depersonalizing forces uh that that
00:34:39.540are ruling over us is because this is where we give our our time and our attention and our money
00:34:45.220and at the same time we expect everything for free you know we're used to getting like the
00:34:52.500you know the internet's free and you you pay your basic cable bill but then you get free television
00:34:57.760unlimited um and all of this and the thing is yet all that attention and money is going to
00:35:03.900these depersonalizing forces and it's like you vote with your dollar right and um yeah so i'm
00:35:11.480primarily doing this as life coaching because i want people again if you want to contact me i'm
00:35:16.540not going to snub you and say call me on praxi but if you if you really want my if you want me
00:35:21.700to get up and pay attention to you you know then you know praxi is a bloody good way of doing that
00:35:26.660so i'm tossing it out there as the life coaching yeah it's the the main thing like heck even my
00:35:31.260my girlfriend has suggested that i you know consider becoming a padre in the military
00:35:35.820um you know well the problem is i couldn't keep doing this if i were to but um you know like
00:35:44.020maybe that's something i can offer a value uh that people get something out of or maybe it
00:35:47.940again for me i don't exactly know how it's going to go um how people want to use it but it's it's
00:35:55.000there for whatever. Yeah. And just to follow up on that point you made about you get what you pay
00:36:05.420for. You don't like to tell people that because people don't like to pay for stuff. But back in
00:36:13.400the day, you had a church, you had your local institutions and you're participating in that
00:36:18.320and then you would give money to them. Exactly. The priest isn't going to refuse to speak to you
00:36:22.980if you're broke exactly but if i have money tied to the church exactly and nowadays people who
00:36:30.960people we we have these online communities which you know you're definitely part of and but um
00:36:37.360you know it's still it's still the money needs to be there for them to to survive and thrive like
00:36:42.920so this is just i mean there's other like patreon is a big one i don't know if you're on are you on
00:36:47.620patreon davis yeah yeah i'm doing the patreon until i get kicked off so you know again this
00:36:53.560is kind of how i introduced it um until i get kicked off you know i've had my paypal messed
00:36:58.400with you know we this all of this nonsense that went on with youtube and ads and whatnot
00:37:04.580is you know like my issue with the ads wasn't that oh oh no my shekels my issue was that this
00:37:11.240is just the first step into kicking all of us off youtube in turn you know there is this
00:37:16.960progressive censorship and um and it's the the people that control these networks you know skype
00:37:23.540you know right now there's no threat of us being kicked off of skype but how long is that going to
00:37:27.600last right so we're talking about a service here which like i mean it's just a business service
00:37:35.240right but it's the business services that are just absolutely crucial to living life these days
00:37:41.620you know i've talked about common carriers before and we've got some laws protecting you from with
00:37:46.860the phones and the utility company, they can't cut off your electricity because they don't
00:38:37.100Henry Ford was just trying to make cars, but he also was changing the world by creating the car.
00:38:43.480Yeah, I mean, you know, I named it praxe after praxeology.
00:38:49.240I'm a huge, huge advocate of Austrian economics, and when I was trying to come up with a name,
00:38:54.460I thought praxe would be a good name because what is praxeology?
00:38:59.060I mean, what distinguished Austrian economics from traditional classical economics is the belief in the individual's subjective value.
00:39:09.160You know, we believe individuals act, I mean, human action, that's the name of Mises' magnus opus, human actions, the axiomatic truth of Austrian economics is humans act purposely in the world.
00:39:23.040And so Praxy, the idea here is like when you act in the world, you try to act through your best knowledge.
00:39:31.900And there are other people out there who can help you make a better decision.
00:39:37.140So Praxy, it's like purposeful action.
00:39:39.720Go out and get the knowledge, get the information, get the help.
00:39:43.560And then it will be worth your while because the money will be well spent.
00:39:52.640You know, the concern I have is that people always, like you were saying, you know, they they get stuff for free.
00:40:00.860And so when you get stuff for free, like there's a saying that the the the the voter is not the person making decisions in elections.
00:40:10.260The voter is the football being tossed back and forth, you know, and that's if you're not acting with intention.
00:40:16.000If you're not if you're just responding to everything and you expect everything for free, you become the football.
00:40:21.840okay you become the the the ball bouncing around the uh pinball machine right whereas if you take
00:40:29.400authorship you take responsibility and i mean again this is it's a it's a small thing that
00:40:35.000we're talking about here but it's it's part of a larger pattern if you expect everything for free
00:40:40.700you're going to get third-rate shoddy goods exactly and if you go out and say i'm going to
00:40:45.560pay to talk to somebody that knows what the hell they're doing you know and i'm you aren't actually
00:40:50.480taking responsibility as much as the expert is taking responsibility there but i mean be be a
00:40:57.400sovereign you know be a sovereign of your life and and in the market the the consumer is sovereign
00:41:02.040if you're not if you're not paying then you're you're not you're not driving it you're you're
00:41:07.260someone else is like you said you're the football someone else is going to be manipulating you going
00:41:13.060to be distorting you not giving you the truth you know and uh so it's you know uh step up and pay
00:41:20.180And you'll see like how, you know, people, when you're the sovereign, people respond, you know, like, like your, you know, like your, whatever you want to call it, the, the subjects, I guess is the word, you know, and it's a good feeling to pay for stuff, I think, you know, obviously, you can't pay everything anyone asks.
00:41:41.200And a lot of times, these are not like big transactions, especially like on Praxi, maybe $20 here.
00:41:49.760How much did you say you're charging? $30 for 30 minutes?
00:41:55.520Right. So I mean, what's that in the larger scheme? That's not even a night out sometimes.
00:42:00.280You know, and if somebody calls you and you give them even one really profound thing that they think about in regards to their current situation, $30 is a ridiculous bargain.
00:42:14.160You know, if it's a matter of I didn't take this job or I made this correct move in my career or like I was able to address the situation, my relationship for 30 bucks, you know.
00:42:29.200And so, I mean, of course, the onus becomes on you to give them that insight, but it's definitely worth it.
00:42:36.000Well, it's a second set of eyes sometimes.
00:42:39.020You know, it's, yeah, this is why people, this is supposedly why people go to therapists is because sometimes you need a second set of eyes pointing out the pattern that you've just been absolutely blind to.
00:42:54.800And, of course, it's up to the individual to make a meaningful change.
00:42:58.400You know, I can tell you what I see, but I can't force you to do anything about it.
00:46:10.980oh oh yeah yeah they call the people like the basically you'd have the monarch just sitting
00:46:17.380around bored you know tweeting on their iphone and the flapper was the servant that would um
00:46:23.220what they would flap a fan at them if somebody who actually had something useful to say had come up
00:46:27.780and so that's basically anybody in a position of power is going to be surrounded by flappers
00:46:33.280because you know like guess what donald trump doesn't have time to take all of our phone calls
00:46:38.200right and so that's kind of the point of praxi is this is how you break through the flappers
00:46:42.600and um and get somebody's attention so so that's the irony if praxi already existed you could just
00:46:49.080pay them to hear about this product and and boom yeah exactly i mean i think about that all the
00:46:55.540time when i'm trying to make sales pitches it's like i just want you to listen okay you don't
00:46:59.620have to agree with you don't have to accept it but just hear me out you try to make cold calling
00:47:04.620And when you're, when you're starting a business, it's just like, you know, nobody is giving
00:47:09.340you the time of day and it's like, maybe you could actually benefit, but you need to take
00:47:12.680the time to listen, but how do you incentivize them to do that?
00:47:15.640And, and, and yeah, like in a world where everyone has a proxy account, it's, you could
00:47:20.480imagine someone starting in a business and they allocate 10% to, to market research calling
00:47:25.400around and it's just a business expense.
00:47:27.220Like we are going to call people, pay them for their time and they can, at the end of
00:47:31.500the call say, I'm sorry, still can't help you.
00:47:33.720But probably what they would do is instead of just brushing you off or saying, you know, it's a stupid idea or whatever, they would say, here's what you need to do.
00:47:42.320You know, they would want to give some value in return.
00:47:45.180They would they wouldn't want to just say no.
00:47:46.820And so this is what I get back to about it being a really humanizing process to pay because a person wants to deliver value.
00:47:54.920And, you know, so many people these days are just seems like shouting into the void.
00:47:59.000But if you have people who are on both sides of the spectrum, very ideological, knowing that, you know, they potentially could get a call and someone could say, like, look, this is ā then it's just ā the rhetoric softens, I think.
00:48:13.780And I think it can be only for the good, you know, as far as impacting the world.
00:48:19.980Yeah, and hey, and we even got Becloff in the comments.
00:48:22.020And like he said, if you're either the customer or you're the product, you know, and with these ā
00:48:27.660even with these makeup channels you know if you're just uh if you're a girl if you're a girl just
00:48:34.020watching these videos you're the product and the real customer is the well first the youtube
00:48:39.780benjamins but the um the makeup companies become the customer right whereas if you phone the girl
00:48:46.600and say like what what should i wear and and by the way there is a there's actually a whole science
00:48:52.160to this i did this one girl who completely swears by japanese cosmetics there's a whole
00:48:57.420thing to all of this and so if you're calling if the girl calls that girl you know and pays her
00:49:03.300she's gonna she's not gonna say yeah buy l'oreal she's gonna say actually the japanese ones are
00:49:07.960really good and that's what you should pick up and you can order them here and yeah there's a
00:49:13.460there's an agency problem that exists a lot of times anybody who takes free phone calls is it's
00:49:17.980a lost leader they're taking it for a reason they want to upsell you they want to you know whatever
00:49:22.500it is. And, and, and there are many occasions where you don't want, you, you want, you would
00:49:27.360want to pay. I mean, a smart consumer would want to pay, you know, like my brother got his, his
00:49:32.800garage door repaired earlier a few months ago. And he was like, you know, they came out and I
00:49:37.660think they gave him some ridiculous estimate. He's like, I would have benefited just to have called
00:49:42.180a garage repairman in another city who has no incentive who I'm paying. So he's going to give
00:49:48.240it straight you know and and and there's and he would have and he he's he's built it in his
00:49:53.240business model i'm giving it to you straight you know instead of uh oh we'll come out you know we'll
00:49:58.340you know but he has no he has no way of making that sale so he just you know and you know that's
00:50:04.940when you're like with what with what i do with the writing and the youtubing it's um it's a bit
00:50:10.880of a balancing act uh where like i try and be as genuine as possible and like i'm concerned about
00:50:17.380you guys the audience um that's why i've disabled advertising my youtube videos is um just be
00:50:24.500everything that's going on it's partly a protest against youtube but get into it um but the thing
00:50:29.340is that if i were solely dedicated if i were a lot smarter and solely dedicated to making money
00:50:35.380you know i would i would modulate what i spoke about and there's a lot of youtubers that do that
00:50:42.960I'm not going to name names right now, but, and, um, and so you get a dumbed down message.
00:52:56.460I'm a free market anarchist, pretty hardcore.
00:52:59.880And I know I've seen some of your videos about particularly the one about libertarianism.
00:53:04.340And I totally get where you're coming from.
00:53:06.620I'm more than willing to come on and talk about it.
00:53:09.520I'm not going to, I probably won't be as outspoken as I once was because of the business, you know, but I will definitely, I will not like, I will not like mislead anyone as to my views.
00:53:21.240Like, I'm very happy to do that if you want.
