In this episode, we discuss the dangers of not knowing where you're going next and the benefits of leaving your comfort zone. We also discuss the importance of having a passport, and how to deal with the fear of the unknown.
00:00:31.000I see any friends I like from anywhere in the world.
00:00:33.000If you feel it's going to make you happier, it's something that you should definitely pursue.
00:00:37.000First and foremost, fear of the unknown is what's keeping you where you are.
00:00:41.000Get a passport, get a little bit of money, go to other places.
00:00:44.000And I would advise you to do that because as your situation gets worse and as things double in price and things become more violent or cities become unsafe, if you don't know what other countries are like, the propaganda machine on the TV telling you you're the land of the free and the home of the brave, greatest country on earth, it's going to sway you.
00:01:03.000Make the leap of faith to do something different with your life if you are completely in the dark about what's out there.
00:03:26.000Culture is far more effective at policing than even a government can be.
00:03:30.000I would also argue that one of the main reasons Japan and Romania is safe is that if a Romanian's gonna steal, he'll steal outside of Romania because he doesn't want his family to be known as thieves in Romania.
00:04:08.000Since the dawn of recorded history, every single time your rights have been taken away from you, every single time they have removed your freedom, they have done so under the same guise, which is safety.
00:04:18.000The human psyche can only accept a loss of freedom for safety.
00:04:22.000You can only accept to be reduced your capability to go throughout the world and do and say and interact how you want if you believe it's gonna preserve your body and preserve your life force for a longer period of time.
00:04:34.000You can't go over there because it's dangerous.
00:04:36.000We're in the middle of the night, we're in the middle of the night.
00:12:14.000You don't believe that I'm going to miss all this garbage, but I'm telling you, my whole life has only ever been.
00:12:19.000From the age of four, I was playing chess professional.
00:12:22.000I was a professional chess player, and then I became a professional athlete, and I was a professional fighter.
00:12:25.000And now I get to fight against the Matrix inside of the Romanian legal system, probably one of the most rigid games you can possibly play in a language I don't understand.
