Hello and welcome to Comp. We're looking at videos made with the new SORA AI app. It's from a chat GBT's crew,
Starting point is 00:01:12 and they're shoving people into all sorts of situations. We've got people in parachutes. You can be put into a baseball game. You can be put into a, what is this, Ronald McDonald in the Matrix? with hamburgers fascinating that is going to replace Hollywood they're saying
Starting point is 00:01:29 no more ILM no more Star Wars no more Disney it's all going to be at your fingertips and you know what they're going to use this for
Starting point is 00:01:40 do you know what I if you could call it fear but I'm not afraid I'm not afraid you know what they're going to use this for you ever wondered if you could be picked up and put in a van
Starting point is 00:01:52 I wonder if I could be picked up and put into a van by a bunch of men and I go but what would be but what would that didn't my people my people would find out right my online people or my live my people I live with they but where's comp hey what's the business you know we don't live in Stalin's Russia now now we here's the plan AI comp AI comp is created with the SORA app and it's just a one of a It's not exclusive to me, but AI comp gets made, and he starts ranting, and I bet you they'll have it, you know, they might take him another year before it's ready to, you know, really get the nuance of my, of my gristle, you know, of my pluck. But they're going to have me ranting about how great it is that we're invading Canada, that we're invading, you know, Belgium, and how I'm actually being paid by the Belgian.
Starting point is 00:02:52 and I shouldn't be lit all sorts of they're going to discredit me they're going to use this SORA app I'm alleging I don't know I don't know Sam Altman maybe he's a great guy maybe he's not in go hoots for other people who you know I don't I'm not in this situation where I can get billions of dollars
Starting point is 00:03:12 to build these things that's the interesting thing you know it's like it's a simplest thing you know what just happened I've had tons of ideas I've had all sorts of ideas throughout my entire adult life about how to invent things. I thought we could invent a new kind of microwave that you could also, you know, put like,
Starting point is 00:03:30 you could also put, keep things cool. You know, a reverse microwave, no one gave me money to research that. I had an idea for a newspaper that was also pornography. I had an idea for, you know, a new type of can that would open itself. And then you would just keep cook your meal. You know, and you know what? Well, I get faced down. I get faced down by security guards telling me I don't, I don't have a right to be in their building. But this man gets billions of dollars to, I'm saying, where does this come from? I'm saying there's probably interest involved that are beyond just inventing. Right? It's not just inventing, is it? It's not Doc Brown in back to the future. It's not a guy in his garage tinkering with a flux capacitor.
Starting point is 00:04:21 And the DeLorean. No. It's real business. This is for destruction. Well, I mean, it's for control. Yeah. This is for humiliation. Destruct, you know, control via destruction.
Starting point is 00:04:33 And you're right. Humiliation. They're going to use this to humiliate me. They're going to use this to exonerate themselves. And I don't mean Sam Altman. I don't know. If Sam Altman, I don't think he, I think he's like Oz. You know, he's like the big head.
Starting point is 00:04:48 But behind him is Oz. That's the thing. That's what's confusing. is going to have the Wizard of Oz is that the same guy is both, right? The big head is the guy. But it should have been separate guys. They should be, like, you shouldn't even, I guess they were.
Starting point is 00:05:01 That's the point. You know what I mean? It's like, Sam Altman's a real person. I'm, I don't want to strip him of humanity. But whoever's pulling, who's ever pulling the money strings, whoever's greasing the tech wheel, but if Steve Jobs was alive, I'd be blaming him.
Starting point is 00:05:17 That smug bastard. They're going to unalive me and put me and make cartoons out of me for centuries. If you see it, we should probably prepare for this. How do we remember? What's something you could be doing in an AI video that you would just, you would never do? This is a great, no.
Starting point is 00:05:36 What's the sign? I don't know, push-ups. No, but this is a great idea. I should bury a codex. I should bury a cipher like they have in submarines. You remember when we watched that movie Crimson Tide? Right. with Gene Hackman and Denzel, Washington,
Starting point is 00:05:53 they're great actors. And there was on a submarine and it's a lot of the whole thing. But when you're on a nuclear sub and they send the orders to nuke Russia or whatever, you know, Sweden, you get the orders coming on the old typewriter machine. Maybe it's a little different nowadays. And then you have to verify it. You crack open a safe. You both have keys and you both get your special little packets and you crack them open.
Starting point is 00:06:20 and you verify with the cipher or whatever that the orders are correct and then you can nuke Sweden by bye Sweden no more of those little cakes you get at the coffee shop little pastries you're done you're done with the pastries
Starting point is 00:06:35 in the same way I bury some kind of yeah we'll figure out how I do this but I have to like kind of maybe is it a dropbox
Starting point is 00:06:53 is there some kind of hard drive can I invent a hard drive that will release files over time you know what I mean how does this work because do I hire do I hire a lawyer like that Kobayashi guy
Starting point is 00:07:05 unusual suspects and he goes around and he's also he also threatens people you know just like because you know why would you have two guys
Starting point is 00:07:13 why would you have a guy who like brings the packet of stuff and like and you know Mr. Kaiser Associate, here's what your mission is
Starting point is 00:07:22 and it also threatens your wife. Well, you have a separate guy, you know, just happen together. Well, the thing is, even after going through
Starting point is 00:07:30 all this trouble, yeah. When you, you, you know, task your most trusted people. Right. But putting the cipher
Starting point is 00:07:37 together that proves that AI compass fake. Right. There's still going to be a bunch of people who have seen it, who have seen whatever, whatever you're doing in that video.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Which, no, but it'll be different. It'll be, on this day, I'll have to basically make a cipher for the next, you know, 400 episodes. Right, okay. And then there'll be some way, I'll need some way to look at this out there.
Starting point is 00:07:59 It's in a safe. It's in a safe. Yeah, you will, I just need one person you can trust. If you're lonely, you're screwed. You better make one friend in this new future, this dystopian future we have, right? Because it's no good. You need to have someone who can keep a safe with the site. with the with the codex
Starting point is 00:08:19 and if they try if they start having me go you know hello here's Hillary Clinton we're going to discuss you know her email server and uh and her recipe for brownies and I think she's great and she definitely was she never went through an island
Starting point is 00:08:33 she's never been there and you go wait hold on just right you just look at no it's actually him he's actually sold out you know and like good for him I'm glad he can have a house now but then you'll know at least because we're not going to know you're not there is no reality anymore going forward it's not quite there yet like you can you know
Starting point is 00:08:53 you can still tell uh there's a certain kind of just uncanny valley aspect to it yeah at a certain point all the bodies like people when there's too many bodies in the eye video yeah they get mushy but i got to be honest when i go to the post office i don't feel that different than they do watching one of these videos the whole world's got uncanny valley going on you know the whole world's whole world's a little you mean just everyone's on edge everyone wants a race war everyone wants a bigger TV
Starting point is 00:09:25 right that should be a new we should update uh one of those songs we didn't start the fire everybody TV new race war yeah I got a codex you know we but yeah it's a it's a bleak
Starting point is 00:09:43 situation and people go why come why do you bring up all these bleak things why do you always you know look at the as a sour side of the apple why you know why why can't you be crypto cash fucking you know suck my ass well yeah I'm sorry that like I just I've been indoctrinated by cynicism what are you showing me oh you showing me this well I wanted to I wanted to pull out because this is a really disturbing example of what we're talking about okay well this came out a couple days ago I didn't I didn't these see when you get your news from social media
Starting point is 00:10:19 first of all I never heard of a worse idea but it is kind of how you absorb it nowadays like even though I resisted but like because there's no like here's the bullet news it's like it's all just immersed into like a bunch of shit posting I mean I don't follow journalists I guess
Starting point is 00:10:34 maybe that's part of the problem but so I saw this video we'll bring it back where we're so basically it's like this trend where like it starts with like a person usually like kind of a fat person right there's always a fat person like breaking a bridge right with rock this is like I mentioned it recently but this is kind of like you know when they put the uh the 9-11 stuff into into movies um you know like you know a few years earlier
Starting point is 00:11:01 they go how do they what a coincidence like you know how could they probably because they knew they go why would they do it because they want you to know because it's boring to them because these are these are timeless creatures we're dealing with who go back and forth through time it's not that fun anymore for them. So they want to just, you know, they want to bury things to, you know, to goge you, to trick you. You know, they say when you're bushering an animal that you don't want to scare it, you know, shock it because it could spoil the meat because the stress hormones will spoil, will like leak into the meat and it's bad for it. But whatever happens with us and our meat is the app, it's not, it's better for them. The fear makes the meat taste better.
Starting point is 00:11:47 I don't like that's what this is it's all big well this is like kind of a sanitized version of it but like the original versions of the is like the person throws the rock and then all the people like kind of fall through the glass or the bridge it's almost like uh you know squid game themed or so yeah it's it's really strange it's all really uh violence porn it's all violence porn but like you know that's the thing they're rewriting how you interact with the digital world you're not you're not you They're going to have a digital ID in a few years and you're going to need that to get your, you know, your insulin and your, and your, uh, whatever else you like. You know, you're, you know, you're riddling. You're, you're a blah, blah, blah, buterol, is that a thing? You want some blah, buterol? Get a digital ID. You're dead. All right.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Um, I mean, you know, we're in a shutdown now. This digital shutdown to the government. What is, you know, what, what is the reason? Oh, these guys, you know, either, you can listen to two sides here, right? You can either believe that we're trying to give health care to foreign terrorists who live in Afghanistan or we're burning the homeless alive here. I don't know. There's no overlap anymore. There's no, like, reading the news and you go, well, I can split the difference.
Starting point is 00:13:15 You can't split the difference. You have to go very deep and research, get micro-feesh. You have to go look at the library at Congress. And like, how long is that going to be a thing anymore? They're going to cut that. This is, and you go, oh, if only we got Kamala. What do you think, this is, they love this shit.
Starting point is 00:13:37 They all want this shit. You think Kamala live where I live? Kamala live in like a palatial estate. And it's sunny California. You think she's one of me? I didn't go with the Bulldeburg group. Is she? Who knows?
Starting point is 00:13:54 I even a thing anymore. I'm not a vampire. I'm not allowed at these parties. So, you know, these ideas, these Democrats, they're all fighting, they're all fighting each other in public, but they all really do want because they're afraid, because they got something. You know? They got something going on.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Whether it's a little bit of money, Bernie is like a, like a, like a, like a big playboy Bernie Sanders he's like you know he he's he works his way old you know yeah you don't think that guy can pump that guy can pull and pump Bernie Sanders can pull and pump I think Bernie can pump from the bottom I don't mean well you say Bernie's the bottom I don't know if he can pump from the top anymore I meant I meant like proverbially I don't mean like I don't I don't know if his dick works. I'm saying that the guy is like, you know, like, you know, first of all, yeah, he has multiple houses. They're not like, you know, it's not Bill Gates's house, but he's got money.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Why they all have money? They're all inside of trading. You know this. You know, they're all just like, you know, they're all buying like, uh, these, like these companies called like, Zlamista and Flostr. And what's that I do? It's an AI-oriented, like, you know, networking, uh, payroll app. it's all just it's just
Starting point is 00:15:08 someone it's a mercenary group running Congress just getting they need to protect themselves my point they're not like
Starting point is 00:15:18 oh AOC's from the Bronx I don't care if she's from Thailand you know it doesn't matter where you're from
Starting point is 00:15:25 you're in or you're out and we're out I mean you Lucy and we're trying to get in and if we get in we'll let one
Starting point is 00:15:32 lucky listener come with us perhaps that you have to always keep a little thing it's like when they give away PS5s you always got to keep a dangle with you know everyone's trying to get into the the gated city before Mad Max happens
Starting point is 00:15:46 because no one what goes on a sudden Mad Max is the you know I don't want to say it because it'll hurt the algorithm but it's brutal Mad Max leaves that out that part you got to trade something well you know or you can have a trade it to you
Starting point is 00:16:03 if you know what I mean Um, I don't, okay, I'm sorry YouTube won't let me say it out loud, but you can put the pieces together. You're not dumb. You know what's coming. So I'm just saying it's a really nice app. I mean, I haven't been able to use it yet. You know, here's the problem, Sam Allman. If you don't like this line of dialogue, then give me one of those codes.
Starting point is 00:16:25 So I can make cool videos of myself, you know, hang gliding. Oh, I don't mean that. I just remember the famous hanglining. I just thought it'd be a fun thing to do. I wasn't trying to allude to an attack with hang glide. That's sad. I'm sorry. Hit pause on whatever you're listening to and hit play on your next adventure.

Starting point is 00:17:30 No, I'll be dead. I'll alive me. Yeah, but what are you afraid of having to have? happening in your in your like kind of forever in your AI prison for oh I wasn't even thinking of that it's interesting you think it's interesting that you think it's interesting that you think that I care more about my digital presence and what to have me do your literal physical life I want to live I don't want to die Lucy no it's uh it's uh yeah no I mean I guess look I don't want to be used to promote wars to sell books.
Starting point is 00:18:05 You know, I'm not sure what book I could sell. That's a, that's a widespread of things you don't want your. Well, imagine if they turn, imagine they turn, imagine they turn me. Well, that's kind of what Charlie Rose was. Charlie Rose was a guy who sold wars and books. And we, and we almost met him at Mariah. One of those restaurants near Central Park, but they wouldn't let us in. But, you know, he happened to see, you know, he was disgraced already.
Starting point is 00:18:27 But I still like, you know, I saw like his work, excuse. me charlie rose but he did people go on there and they would either promote the iraq war um you know you have like rome you know maybe a rumsfeld maybe someone you know joan didion she was big on that right maybe not i forget what she was about she's like a famous author but i guess she was more about like literature yeah magical thinking magical realism well whatever the point is most these people were military people they were like people from the cfr or they were guys yeah they were literati you know you have Malcolm Gladwell talking about his 10,000 hours and that could be me and I could be sitting there while some guy writes some book about you know how I mean what kind of books get made nowadays they're all they all seem kind of like weird like what are some of the more recent famous books more recently you know just some of the art of not giving a fuck I mean that was I have that guy on talking what is that book about it's just about being like a bad parent just don't feed you
Starting point is 00:19:30 kids your kids will probably figure it out or you'll die is that is that how that book goes I didn't I didn't read it when you call your book to someone like giving a fuck I assume there's something like that in there maybe maybe you know I'm sick I'm sick in time I've spent a lot of time I'm sorry my going on a rant here go off I'm sorry but it's just that I spent a lot of years not like trying to be a coward but like trying to be responsible and like hedge my words a little bit because you don't, but what society rewards is, you know, no, you call it a, you call it a dad, you call it a son of the law, I'm not giving a fuck.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Where people get the wrong idea, doesn't matter, clicks is all that matters. All that matters is clicks. Okay, well, I'll just assume that your book is about not feeding your kids. It's the best both ways, all right? We're living in the future, you know? It's like, yo, oh, don't worry about the downside. Well, I can be a big downside, can I?
Starting point is 00:20:29 all right maybe i should maybe i should position myself as the like as some kind of weird uh uh a gatekeeper of the liter of what's left is the literati you know the intelligentsia i haven't really cultivated the intelligentsia in my life but i could i could you know i can make up for lost time i would love to be like a a disruptive element in that world
Starting point is 00:20:54 you know who would have to become friends with someone to do that do you know you know You know more about that than me, it seems like. A literati. Well, you're like an English major, right? I don't care. I feel like you read more books. You know more, you read more of those type of books.
Starting point is 00:21:08 I mean, I read a fair amount of books. But the type of books, literature. But a lot of the time, like, those books that you're talking about. Yeah. That are, you know, on the front shelf in the bookstore. This is like the most recent thing. Like, you know, that stuff sometimes pass by. But, like, what are some of the, you have a lot of race.
Starting point is 00:21:29 racial stuff. Yeah, how the white man burned America. You know, like the new Jim Crow comes to mind. Right. Like, why are you giving people ideas? You know, these people, oh, new Jim Crow, don't stop. They want that. Some of these people, you've been on Twitter or X.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Some people are like, oh, are we doing that now? I'm just saying. But yeah, I mean, the last book, I mean, it's been a while. But I feel like the last like contemporary book that I like you know as far as like a new bug that I read was like a team of rivals that stupid book about like how linking guys enemies to like work in the cabinet with them but they got assassinated Doris Curran's good one yeah probably do you read that book yeah I think I did a while back okay well it wasn't a bad book but I mean I feel like it
Starting point is 00:22:20 definitely underplays how the irony well I got hired all my enemies and somehow I got killed how do they know where I'd be my enemies who I work next to every day told them I mean that's quite a spicy theory right there and it just came off the top of my head yeah but it's I mean I read the book years ago
Starting point is 00:22:38 I feel like I'm smarter now than it used to be you think Lincoln's cabinet it's just look when all you do when all you do is brag about how you're like the bottom bitch of diverse ideas right when you're like I'm oh I did something that no one ever
Starting point is 00:22:55 thought it up I surround it to myself with my enemies you know keep your enemies close it's like well sometimes you keep your enemies close they stabby stabby stabby that's all I'm saying sometimes they get theirs some you know it's like here's the thing in prison the knives aren't as good they call them shanks not just because it's cool but like it's not really a knife a lot of the time it's like a sharpened handle of a toothbrush and that's why if you you know if you ever watch one of these uh stabbing these shankings it's a lot
Starting point is 00:23:28 100 times or whatever or 50 times because it's like you know it's you need to repeat it over and over as my point I'm just saying
Starting point is 00:23:39 and so if you have like you know body armor made out of like old phone books right or an atlas that could work because you know they could still maybe do
Starting point is 00:23:47 something against a real knife but definitely against a toothbrush handle and you get my drift I don't think you do because you're saying like it was kind of a tease with this stuff
Starting point is 00:23:56 saying is like you know keep them close but not that close right not close enough to kill you with a tooth brush i wonder if you ever came into a cabinet meeting and just had like knives placed all around the table and he's like i'm just going to turn my back for a second hope nobody's stabs i don't that's a great point i lucy just made an amazing point and i don't want to slander lincoln yeah i think people get link gets a bad rap sometimes he would go he didn't really care like he he would have like you know he didn't care about him freeing the slaves and like I'm not saying like there's no truth to that quote and but I think he didn't like slavery and when he said he would have kept it to keep this nation all right that's like I'm not saying
Starting point is 00:24:35 his biggest priority was that so he's a guy I'm not way he's linking that like people go oh they want to trash him I like him overall but I do think he might have had a predilection he got got off on being this kind of great guy is oh I'm the guy I'll just put this gun here hope you don't shoot me and somehow that helped him and like you know get climax when you just talk about like I think he liked like again it's not for me
Starting point is 00:25:03 to say how you know man does bed you know you know sex stuff in bed uh what should go through his mind but I think yeah do I think Lincoln kind of at the moment of climax just about how great of man he was or seen to be and just and then he just got to be blasted so hard
Starting point is 00:25:18 you know it kind of tracks with his life too yeah because he was also kind of married Wasn't Mary Todd Lincoln kind of a basket case? Well, I mean, her kids all died. Oh, well, you know. Crazy. I didn't say there weren't legitimate reasons for it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:33 But, yeah, but she was, yeah, she was kind of nuts, though, I think. Yeah. I wonder if Lincoln ever would just lie in bed with her while she was, like, having a fit. And I just had just such a great guy. He was spooner, and he was saying, you've, you've become too crazy to have any concept of how great of a man I am. Oh, Mary Todd. Oh, Mary Todd. That just makes me greater.
Starting point is 00:25:54 If you only, you could have handled, if only of your feeble brain could have handled the pressure of our sons all dying. And you could have witnessed the grace of your own husband's exaltation. Oh, I'm sitting there's right hand of God, Mary Todd. No, take my pencil. Oh, I'm the Christ child.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Right. Yeah, stuff like that. And this is like, does it sound severe? I don't know. It's old. It's 200 years ago. Whatever. You know, it all flaws.
Starting point is 00:26:22 This is, this is what we should, you know, maybe we, if Sam Altman gives me the codes for the SORA app, maybe we can make this show, you know, um, sex, sex lingen, right? I mean, you can make a movie about him hunting vampires. Why not a movie about him getting off to himself? Oh, because he's head blown off. I'm sorry. I didn't do it. And no, my family members did. But, uh, yeah. Welcome to come. Welcome to the show. It's a crazy. The government is shut down and we're, but we're pumping.
Starting point is 00:26:59 Our blood is pumping thick. And apparently we are in a non-international war of attrition. Is that what we call it now? Let's put this up a second. This is a strange development. Lawmakers are both sides. Press Pentagon. So press the Pentagon on legal basis for the cartel boat strikes.
Starting point is 00:27:21 So we discussed just a few weeks ago, I guess. It's been a while, this cartel boat, right? They bombed a cartel boat. Well, they bombed a boat. People claim it's not, I mean, I think most people agree, right? They found a bunch of drugs. Right. There's people out there who want to just, like, you know, question everything.
Starting point is 00:27:38 And that's fine, but pick you a bad. You can't just go like, well, A, this, this show about Lincoln is, you know, is sacrilegious and it's racist and it's, you know, and it's just bad for the, you know, speaking in all the dead and so it's not sexy enough pick one pick one critique is my point and so like you know um i i choose to accept that these are probably car title boats but maybe are we allowed to blow them up i don't know but apparently these lawmakers from the pretingon uh cornered um let's read let's read so scroll down let's see what this happened here senators on both sides of the aisle uh press the pentagon's top lawyer and the closed door
Starting point is 00:28:18 me the preting on top lawyer now is that like some guy who like fucking they hired they got a 7-11 they don't get the best in the brain now i mean some of these guys are good i don't know i'm just i'm just checking is he a jag maybe whatever they cornered this guy uh they want an explanation this is a bipartisan thing apparently they cornered this guy like a like a ronald mcdonald in an alley yeah because i think they realize like you know senators must realize that like hey we don't like each other but the more you kind of do things on your own the less this whole thing we're doing over here matters
Starting point is 00:28:52 like the more the executive is just like we got this and like no no we well you know like the Democrats and the Republicans are both like we we'd like to have some input here right you know it's something like uh whatever read some of this please God honestly I already kind of
Starting point is 00:29:08 wish that these articles were just sore of it were just sore videos yeah no this just just give it to me in three sets like what happened physically yeah look we'll just touch because the whole point this is matters it doesn't matter about what you know who corner two who pulled whose pants down in the pentagon bathroom and starts sucking and go hey let me suck this doesn't matter who cares how they got this guy to comply how they got you know did pete hex that just had that meeting
Starting point is 00:29:35 with the generals where they call them all fatties you know was what was one of those guys involved was fat generals sucking off some other guy i don't know i don't i'm just saying doesn't the point of me bringing this up is cut to to what they said today. Just a day after the closed-door briefing, Trump declared in a confidential notice to Congress that the U.S. is in a non-international armed conflict with the cartels. So interesting. But why non-international?
Starting point is 00:30:02 That's why are the cartels here? That's what I'm confused about. It is very confusing because maybe it, do they maybe mean that like we're not at war with Venezuela? We're just at war with these cartels. But they're not here. they're in Venezuela. I guess there's probably some implication there.
Starting point is 00:30:23 There's probably some, you know, Poindexter lawyer got involved and said you can't, technically, you can't declare war, you know, Cassus bellicose, or whatever that term is, that Latin term, right? I don't think that's something like that.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Because of war, right? You need to have, like, you know, I mean, I don't really feel like the Geneva Convention seem to apply anymore just because we, like, we just don't seem to care. Now, his implications is that? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:30:50 I guess. Do something. America just changes model to do something. That's where we're going to go with this. And you go, oh, you're saying Trump. This has been operating for, yeah. I mean, the Obama asked permission, the bomb a drone strike a thousand weddings. He hated weddings.
Starting point is 00:31:08 That guy, they, I mean, I've never seen a man. I know men don't like love weddings. They don't like, they don't watch to say yes to the dress. You know, but I mean, like, what's the other one? My, my best friends, my best friends, uh, runaway bride, right? By the way, whatever it is. Julie Roberts. I'm not expecting to watch, but he, that guy just, like, fucking just hellfire missiles
Starting point is 00:31:34 raining down on cocktail hours left and right, you know? You're playing, they're playing the montage at dinner. They're doing a toast and he's like, die motherfucker, you know? He don't give his shit. And, uh, so, he's playing. you know, it's not new. But, you know, but I feel like it's crystallizing that, was my point. It's true.
Starting point is 00:31:54 I mean, you know, when they, when he hit the first boat. Yeah. I was kind of like, you know, there's only so much I'm going to care. Right. About these, about the people who died in particular. Right. You know they're innocent. I mean, what do you want me to do?
Starting point is 00:32:12 There's only so much we can complain about. If they were innocent, I think I care more. Yeah, a little more A little bit theoretically more Yeah But this does seem like a strange Kind of escalation
Starting point is 00:32:29 Well yeah I guess I mean What I like about this though Is that because we're in a non-international war I feel like It opens up new fronts And the idea of war And what is war
Starting point is 00:32:45 Is war I mean some people are saying that World War III is an information war so can you and I be soldiers and information war and then therefore can we get some of this cash right and you go oh it's selling
Starting point is 00:33:00 out is it selling out to serve your country like what do you care everyone you get mad if we if we join the fight against the cartel I mean really I mean people get in a lot of shit over the Saudi Arabia thing and I you know I post it on Twitter I don't or actually
Starting point is 00:33:17 whatever. I don't have a problem of people taking issue with the Kingdom of Saud, the House of Saud, right? In theory. It's like it's a brutal regime. They've done some very nasty things. A lot of them for us is what I'm confused about. I mean, I just spent a lot of time
Starting point is 00:33:35 before not a lot. It's just like this has been going on since like the 50s, the 40s. They have we have like an exclusive oil for protection racket going with them. They basically they hold up the petro dollar they use the they make you have to if you want to buy oil from Saudi Arabia you have to use the US dollar so you have to actually convert your
Starting point is 00:33:55 currency you can't buy it in your one right or rubles you have to convert they did that after Nixon closed the gold window at the end of the Breton Woods thing when the or that scam got you know that post war scam dried up everyone older because that used to be he didn't work after World War II people because people talk about Nixon like ended the gold standard he did no such thing. There really wasn't a gold standard. What there was, was a U.S. dollar system called the Britain Wood system.
Starting point is 00:34:24 It was, you know, it was put together at the Bretton Woods Conference. I think World War II was still going on at the time. I forget. But, you know, basically, it had a tail end of it. And what they landed on was the system where basically
Starting point is 00:34:39 gold was pegged at $35 in a troy ounce. And then the U.S. dollar, but so do you The U.S. held gold technically in reserve at that peg, but in the rest of the world held U.S. dollars as their reserve currency. So we held all their gold, effectively. They held dollars as their reserve.
Starting point is 00:35:02 So not everyone knows about it, and I'm not an expert either, but not everyone understands economics and currencies, but just imagine to the extent that you understand that there's a gold standard and that gold backs the money, right? In that kind of case, U.S. dollars back the money for them. They used to have a warehouse full of dollars, okay? And, you know, it's theoretical. You have to use an abstraction in your brain a little bit.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Right. You get it. So legally. Yeah. If you wanted to, if you wanted to get pegged, you had to do it with gold. Yes. If you wanted to get pegged, you had to use a gold. I were allowed to say that?
Starting point is 00:35:36 The object, you know what we mean. You got to use some bullion, get some bullion in that booty. Booty, booty, boody, boody, boody, boon, boon, blah, boon, blah. I don't know. I can see how diverting from that would crash our economy. Would compromise our economy, you know? Well, hold on. Skipping ahead.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Here's what happened. Here's why it's a scam. So you had the system and they're like, oh, it's all fucking great. And then you're going to, yay, post-war. And we're also just shoving Marshall playing money down there for freaking mounds. And, you know, we got the whole, like, communist thing. Basically, like, if you guys go commies, we're going to, you know, we're going to invade you. So it was like a lot of, you know, there's a lot of tugging, tugging jerk.
Starting point is 00:36:15 a lot of carrot and stick going on. But basically over the next 20, 30 years, whatever it is, what do we do? I'll tell you what we did. We inflated our currency like bad men. We just spent, we spent money like crazy because it didn't matter
Starting point is 00:36:31 because like it was all spread throughout the world. There was no, like usually if you, if you inflate your currency, like we saw with, you know, with like, you know, to the extent that it happened with Biden and Trump and and Biden, you know, those people blame the checks. you know there's also other things involved but whatever let's just say it was a check so you get it
Starting point is 00:36:48 like you spend all those money and then it lowers your value of your currency and then you get inflation right right but what if the whole world's using your dollars and circulating some kind of abstract debt so you really don't feel the effects of it and that's why you hit that post-war boom that we had a lot of it at least right
Starting point is 00:37:03 and then by the 60s where everyone kind of rebuilt their countries finally you know after that war a couple you know they need to build McDonald's in Europe and stuff you know and Euro Disney before they can kind of like go well hell on you guys what you guys been doing over there with that money you know they got wise and they said let's look into this and there was always this thing you could just convert your gold you know dollars back to gold in theory
Starting point is 00:37:30 and they started doing that and they very quickly you're like well fuck this we don't we don't actually have any gold we spent that shit like decades ago uh so we're going to close the gold window and then we converted to a peg, an unofficial peg, you know, sort of a petro dollar system, right? Where basically the, you know, the Saudi Arabia did it as a little solid and they started, you know, pricing their oil exclusively in the U.S. dollar. And that petro dollar basically kind of keeps the demand for, it's not the only thing. Don't get me wrong, but it's a very strong, very important thing. And people are very wary of if that changes over time, not just, you know, the Saudi Arabia, but a lot, you know, the other OPEC nations, whatever. what that does for our economy
Starting point is 00:38:15 which is quite leveraged we've quite the leveraged economy where we are like 50 trillion dollars or is that just what we spent this week it's a lot so you know that was my point so there's that and also I don't they did the whole
Starting point is 00:38:31 moosha ding they went dollar for dollar with us against the you know with the Afghan thing against the Soviet we are intrinsically tied to these people and like we haven't wavered and then people start blaming them 9-11 like 20 years later even though when it first happened we're like you know all these guys are Saudi and you guys had like no one was everyone was grounded but you let this one plane with
Starting point is 00:38:52 the Saudi guys leave what's this about and we're like should I have but then like five years ago or something people started going out of Saudis did it where have you been and also like I mean to be fair we did it that's what we kind of most was real I mean I didn't do it right away. I think a lot of us realized we didn't. So this idea that Pete Davidson is like, oh, why is he, you know, performing for, you know, the people who killed his dad? I don't know. You go to
Starting point is 00:39:17 Dick Cheney's house? It's wrong with you people. Like, I'm like, again, it's not, oh, that makes it okay because the government doesn't, no, it doesn't, it means you're married, like, I've never heard. Look, Israel and Palestine, I hear about it all the time. If someone said something at a comedy festival in either Gaza or
Starting point is 00:39:33 Israel, why wouldn't have this complaint of like, what do you talk? Because, you know, Yeah, people are always, I don't hear many people ever talk about Saudi. Yeah, it comes up with Khashoggi. All right, like this idea of Khashoggi's like this linkpin of, like, you know, the entirety of post-war global hegemony is somehow decided by Khashoggi, who was also like really pretty well tied to Saudi intelligence before MBS took over. I'm not, doesn't mean anything. Nothing means anything, right? Just saying, like, the blood on our hands, we barely have hands.
Starting point is 00:40:07 anymore so I don't care that like I'm not like I'm not saying like give a pass I don't care there's no path I don't know the idea you could give a pass to Louis C.K. for going to Saudi Arabia or Bill Burr it just seems insane to me I know I have a different like a more consistent moral compass or maybe I'm a lunatic it just seems really weird to get the high and mighty when it's like it's not just something that we oppose it's our whole country it's like it's like it's like it's like it's like being mad at your spleen That's a bad example, because I'm not sure what the Supreme does. But you don't get my point.
Starting point is 00:40:41 And why did I bring that up? It was related to something else. Do you remember? I'm not sure. But you're right. I mean, these are people, the people who are speaking out against this now, right, against the festival. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:55 There are people who, like, a lot of the time, strangely, like, not even the most, like, politically vocal people. So it's not like they've been talking about the atrocities of Saudi Arabia this entire time. They seem very let down. It's just like it, it's like getting mad that we're not kind of just like lying about our level of entanglement with them. Right. That's what I'm saying. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:18 It's kind of like. That we're not still kind of like trying to play. Um, tough with them. Right. Which is actually like kind of the strategy that's, that's gotten us in trouble so many times over the years. Like, you know, it's like a little bit of. of subtle, like, cultural immersion.
Starting point is 00:41:39 Sure. Might not actually be the worst thing. Yeah, I feel like a lot of times the case. I feel like, you know, as I mentioned also, I think I forget to mention, they're the number one recipients of a client of U.S. arms. Right. Besides us, I guess.
Starting point is 00:41:52 Besides us, I guess. Bigger than Israel. I mean, Israel does get them comped a lot more. Like Israel, you know, decide you're able to pay cash. That's what, you know, but don't get, you know, but they get them all. I mean, technically Israel has to get some clause where you have to be like,
Starting point is 00:42:05 They get, like, you know, the top, the top tier. So, like, no matter what, if this, if this missile can kill a thousand people, then theirs can give a thousand and one. Some, they have some claws that says that. I'm not sure how they work it out. It's physics probably. I'm not a physicist. But the point is, you know, but they get plenty of guns, plenty of fire planes,
Starting point is 00:42:23 plenty of crazy. All sorts of crazy shit, you know. I mean, I'm just, I just don't, like, the weird outrage about, you know, about Bill Burr. And then who else went? Louis C.K. Who else? Lots of people. Lots of people. Dave Chappelle.
Starting point is 00:42:40 Dave Chappelle. Get mad at them. It's like, all right. Like, that seems... I guess the idea is that like, they're not going to be exposed to like, you know, whatever liberal ideas, even that might... Because the, is the idea that the material will be censored? There's some of that. Sure.
Starting point is 00:42:58 I mean, look, if it lets you down, I've never... Look, here's the... I do think there's too much... You put, I don't know what comedians ever did for you. Podcasters, anything, news, Rush Limbaugh. I don't know what anything's ever done. Like, all our country has done has gotten, like, materially not great. It hasn't done better over this time of much more.
Starting point is 00:43:20 Like, people liked Edward R. Murrow, but they weren't, like, in love with everyone. I was like, oh, he's a good guy. He's on top of the building. One of the bombs are falling. Probably not true. I mean, I don't want to disgrace the guy. But there's Iromuro, really. I mean, I'm sure he was far away from the bombs.
Starting point is 00:43:32 Maybe not. Maybe I'm the biggest scumbag in the world. that's totally true. You know what I'm saying? Lucy knows when to not comment when I'm like, you know, we're going to get canceled over disgracing Edward R. Murrow, whatever. He's dead.
Starting point is 00:43:48 But, you know, the point is, you know, but yeah, so like, is it a hypocrite? I don't know if it's happening. I guess. So this is literally best case scenario. Right. I think this is how, like, liberal ideals spread.
Starting point is 00:44:02 You get people addicted to entertainment. Sure. that could be true you know you get that you get them addicted to it and then you start you know um uh shaming them through it right be nicer be nicer to gay people be nicer to women get so you know get subtly worked in there i mean they're afraid the counterpoint they're afraid i guess that this is whitewashing kashoggi or whatever which i just don't know like i what i'm trying to convey here is i don't know that like our sins are so great that i'm not sure that anything could whitewash them well on a comedy festival right that like It's not necessarily where we look the other way.
Starting point is 00:44:37 We are the other way. Does that make sense? You know what I mean? Like, it's like we're in this. And also we're dirty too. This whole argument is separate from the idea like, are we any better? Well, we don't technically stone people and throw off. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Do we have them do it? Sure. You know, what do you think black sites are about? CIA black sites. Hey, we don't do torture. And we did do torture. we did but we don't do that level of torture whatever you know we'll we'll waterboard you but we won't shove a battery up your ass we got friends who will you know that we know that was
Starting point is 00:45:15 going on i'm just saying it would be funny of after all this back and forth the the entire and look i don't wish any ill on them of course at all uh the people performing in this Oh, no. It's kind of funny. And they all just got disappeared. Yeah, I guess. They just say it for their families, but yeah. They watched five minutes of the first act.
Starting point is 00:45:40 Right. It's just like shut it down. I thought it'd be like Carlin. I thought it'd be like Carlin. It's not like Carlin. It's not as good, is it? But, you know, no, sure. You know, do be fair.
Starting point is 00:45:54 I did, Bill Burr did come out and, like, make some crazy statement. Like, it was great. I thought they'd have machetes, but there was, like, Applebee's. It's like, what? Like, it's like, there's a McDonald's and Starbucks and they have chilies. It's like, what are you talking about? Machetes. There's not South America.
Starting point is 00:46:11 What are you talking about? Right. So I made this statement on an X a few days ago that comes out. Like, well, you got to make me help my case here, Bill. But whatever. It doesn't mean it doesn't mean that's blood money per se or any more than every other piece of money in the world. Right.
Starting point is 00:46:26 I really US dollar whatever I'm just saying if you want to have a reckoning with the United States empire I've always been down for it no one's ever wanted to talk to me about it everyone said shut up and
Starting point is 00:46:39 and joke about eating Oreos or you know be the new John Candy and I don't know how anyway moving on so we wish them the best we hope they all get home safe
Starting point is 00:46:54 get our boys home safe um well as well as we go the pope's calling us evil the pope is um let's say let's play with some of what the pope's up this another guy screwing over i feel i feel like we went we went the bat for the pope and he's making us look bad this is what he had to say pope leo who says i'm against abortion but says i'm in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life so uh someone who says that uh
Starting point is 00:47:26 against abortion, but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants or in the United States. I don't know if that's pro-life. So they're very complex issues. It's, you know, look, it is a very, I mean, I've seen people on Twitter reacting to this and very kind of confrontational ways and very surprising. I have a very, kind of a cheat code almost. If, you know, if the Pope says something you don't like that you feel like he's,
Starting point is 00:47:55 but we all wish we could like you know the Pope what's the Pope we're going to say about me for instance Lucy um let's say the Pope said about you um Ray Kump doesn't do enough charity work
Starting point is 00:48:08 and also he steals he steals from the poor actually he should stop stealing from the poor he actually steals charity he's known to be a charity thief and that came about and the Pope called me out you know what I would say we'd all love to be as pious as the Pope
Starting point is 00:48:24 to be as the Pope to be as pure is the Pope. He's the Pope. I mean, he's God's guy. He's God's little, little creature. He's his right-hand man on Earth, right? You're God's little creature, Leo. You, Leo, Leo, you know, you know how pious you are, how free of sin you can be. You tend to be very holy. And we all wish we could be as holy as you, Leo. But we, yeah, last time, I'm a mortal man. So let's move on. And that's the, you're dealing. You
Starting point is 00:48:55 to go, what do you mean? So you say to a guy who murdered six children and then a child's an incident and abortion and all is back and forth. You don't have to argue with the Pope. That's the whole gimmick. I don't understand people. We built society this way for a reason.
Starting point is 00:49:12 You have religion. It's compartmentalized. That's what makes the West so great is that you can have religion and you can be like, it doesn't make you a hypocrite. But we're built with sin. I'm not the guy who built sin and forgiveness into the whole gimmick.
Starting point is 00:49:25 right and having a pope over there in a different country and like most of you a lot of people in America aren't even you know part of it you know so the Pope came in a point but the ones who do it's like wow like we're all we're all broken we're all broken creatures aren't we're all just baboons
Starting point is 00:49:41 and pigs you know lying in their own shit next to the Pope so one day we can all get to be to be heaven on earth not not yet um people are acting like this is some big break, but like, hasn't the Catholic
Starting point is 00:49:57 Church always been pretty anti-death penalty? I'm pretty certain it's been a, like, a hard rule. Like, we don't like this. And you know what governors do? They go, well, I'll listen to you. And sometimes you go, all right, we'll give this one. Right. Because, like, because, like, this guy was, like,
Starting point is 00:50:13 six cops admitted to framing the guy. So I'm like, well, maybe. Maybe we won't kill him. We'll still keep him in prison forever. We won't kill him because these cops, at least half the cops said they framed them. but usually you know I think they just ignore the Pope
Starting point is 00:50:27 or the Cardinal whatever yeah it's not like the Pope is always swinging by on the day you're about to execute somebody people on a line seem very excited for a crusade I'm like you know it's like I get it it does seem fun you know stomping around Europe
Starting point is 00:50:44 and all that iron well yeah all the iron and steel and people you know dying in a plague maybe that's came later right overlaught a little bit. But, you know, he's like, you watch the movie Kingdom of, I mean, people are posting pictures of that Ridley Scott
Starting point is 00:50:59 movie, Kingdom of Heaven. It's like the leptych, the guy they're showing is a leprosy. But you want to be a leper? I don't even want to get, my point is I think people get a little fantastical. The Pope's got no jurisdiction. Can't do shit.
Starting point is 00:51:12 The Pope has no influence in America. People, oh, people will vote. The people do not vote according to the Pope. I guarantee it. It's not really even a Catholic nation. I mean, there's a lot of Catholics here, but I'm saying, it's not like, it's not like we're, the Pope does not like dictate politics. Right.
Starting point is 00:51:29 Just like, stop trying to like make it more extreme. He's like, he's just there to be like, oh, hello, Pope, you know, everyone likes the Pope. It's supposed to be a nice place that you go to. You wash yourself clean of all of your, yeah, all of your extremism. Oh, I was blessed by the, I was blessed by the Pope in Rome. Oh, were you? So you stopped doing, you stop doing that stuff on the island? No.
Starting point is 00:51:51 I'm still a mortal man You know It is what it is All those nasty things you said to that You said to that Migrant child Right Yeah
Starting point is 00:52:01 They're washed away Yeah He said With holy water Right He says something about migrants too So maybe not here But he also said like
Starting point is 00:52:10 And the way you treat migrants And people get mad Like stop It doesn't look good When you're arguing with the Pope All right I'm not for unlimited immigration I want ICE to be able to do their job, you know?
Starting point is 00:52:23 Like, just stop arguing with the fucking Pope. It looks bad. It makes you look like you're evil. Okay? It doesn't matter if you're a Catholic. The Pope is seen as a kind of holy guy. Right. When you're against him, it makes your whole thing look bad.
Starting point is 00:52:38 There's also, like, mad Catholics in South America. Sure. I'm just saying. He can't just be like, yeah, do whatever you want to. He knows who his audience is, too. What do you think he's doing? He's like, I love to like, you know, I'd love to shit on them with you. It's my bread and butter.
Starting point is 00:52:54 These people are just cooked. We used to have a society that function. People just want. These are what happens. You can't have a house. When they take away the ability to have a house, they have a future, have a family,
Starting point is 00:53:08 which they robbed you of, right? They tell you nothing. And you'll live in the digital world and the metaverse, right? Yeah. You'll have Sora. You know. You're only fit to be farmed.
Starting point is 00:53:18 You only fit to be farmed. And if, you know, if you don't behave, we'll replace you with the SOR app. That's what, that's what this is, that's all you get. I don't even know what we're good for anymore. I mean, I, I'm afraid, you know, why are they even keeping us around? They're going to replace us, like, because also they're going to replace us, like, AI kiosks. iPads are going to do our jobs for us now. You know, I mean, so what, what is the point of us?
Starting point is 00:53:43 Are we just going to be, you know, a series of holes? I'm afraid. I don't want that. I don't want that for myself or my family. I don't, I mean, I'm just, I hope I'm wrong. I hope I've always, I've been wrong with everything in my life. Nothing, nothing I envision is going. I mean, no stradda, if you watch Notre Dameus that doc from the eight out, maybe on the
Starting point is 00:54:08 Patreon, we'll, we'll, we'll watch some of that, you know, is, this, Orson Wells there did a whole, like, you know, he was the narrator of the host of his, and I, these are thinking is a full of shit because it ends kind of weird um but i was watching the other day on youtube and it's all happening now i thought i thought well this idiot like it's all hindsight you made this documentary everything before 1985 when you made it yeah sure but everything all the future stuff is bullshit they're just off by a few years 9-11's in there there's like we was a kid watching it now i go back 9-11 it's trump is bin Laden is there's uh i think sarcozy the french guy I have no idea who that guy is
Starting point is 00:54:48 The Pope Whatever the point is You know It is the end of summer Summers are over Now it's the fall I'm trying to pivot to a nice A nice or something
Starting point is 00:55:01 A seasonal theme And you were talking about We didn't grow our herb garden I did buy a basil plant That was the plant We were gonna do an herb garden On the balcony Right
Starting point is 00:55:14 But we didn't get around to it we did not get around I did I got indoor growing lights that are probably made for you know weed but I used them to grow basil on my kitchen and then we just kind of forgot to water it at one point for a week and you know yeah it got us talking because we we had these like loftier plans how you you you kind of introduced this because this was your like fantasy well you know it's like I've been watching a lot of these homesteader videos right these are people that they make everything from scratch they grow their own food make your own butter make your own meat right like they have the cows they have the corn they they grow at all they they they thrive in the wilderness in the well oh they build their own stuff well the prairie right they're not in the woods right well yeah i guess they're more like they're not a tree house are they they thrive in a rural area sure i'm sorry i mean the epic but well but i i think that we should try to be homesteaders you would like you you you bring us up a lot you'd love the homestead with me you'd love to And I say to you, we don't have much space.
Starting point is 00:56:17 We live in an apartment in a city that's more and more being built as a shadow city. Yes. For billionaires who don't live here. Right. But in some ways, that might be perfect. Right. Well, it dawn done us recently. I mean, we're supposed to be stewards of the earth.
Starting point is 00:56:33 Sure. We're stewards of the animals. The Pope tells us that. Yeah. The Pope tells us that. And, you know, there are animals here. Like, it's like the rural, you know, the rural lands aren't the only places where there are animals. Oh, okay, sure.
Starting point is 00:56:47 So we have a lot of cats. There are pigeons. Pigeons, sure. They're squirrels. We have a cat. We have a cat. I don't want to eat our cat either. Right.
Starting point is 00:56:55 But we could maybe milk a pigeon. Milk a pigeon. Yeah, I'll go. I have no problem with that. So, all right, so here's the thing. It is now October 2nd. You know, winter hasn't set in just yet. The birds haven't flown south.
Starting point is 00:57:09 This is a good idea. And maybe we'll keep up with this going forward. Our first step, I think, is what you're saying, is that we should start building some kind of big net on a balcony that can catch pigeons. Maybe like an industrial glue of some sort. You know, the kind of glue they put on rat traps, but we're not going to just, you know,
Starting point is 00:57:27 we'll let them go afterwards. I mean, are you, can you free it? We'll figure it out later if we can free him from this. Either way, we'll glue them to the wall, this thing. We'll build, we'll get like some plywood or something. Right. Right.
Starting point is 00:57:42 We'll frame it up for all of our handyman listeners, who know how to build houses and stuff don't don't tell me how I'm wrong I'll figure it out with plywood and I'll just kind of screw it into the railing it'll be ugly but it'll work and I'll cover it with this glue and birdseeds and we'll catch a bunch of pigeons and then
Starting point is 00:58:02 we can get the milk out of them exactly how do we get the milk out? We have to like get little tweezers and tweak them we might have to yeah I mean I don't know I don't know if it's on there if their nipples are on their back. I mean, I don't want to do it meet the parents' joke, but do they have nipples?
Starting point is 00:58:18 Birds? I mean, there's, maybe. Do birds even, are birds even mammals? How do they feed their animals? I don't think they're mammals, Lucy. They, wait, wait, no, no. They regurgitate into their children's mouths. Birds don't have milk.
Starting point is 00:58:30 I'm pretty certain about it, actually. They're not, they're not warm-blooded creatures. Right. Or are they? Wait, wait, hold on. Well, they lay eggs. They can't be, right? Yeah. Or is that not exclusively the distinction.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Can you eat pigeon eggs? I don't, I mean, that, That sure, I mean, there's a place we talked about is a place near us by the, by the we're a guitar shop where you can buy a lot of animals, I think they have pigeon. Right. So that's, that's definitely positive. I mean, the eggs are not sure. I'm not, you know, but what is, uh, I don't care of that. See, are pigeons mammals?
Starting point is 00:59:03 I feel like they are, right? No, they're birds. I was right the whole time. I should never have that of myself. They're birds. So it means I don't think they have milk either. Right. All right.
Starting point is 00:59:11 So we've, uh, do we, Do we go squirrel? I mean, there are squirrels sometimes. Yeah. Maybe we get squirrels. Yeah. Can you milk a squirrel? Look that up.
Starting point is 00:59:21 Did you lock the front door? Check. Close the garage door. Yep. Installed window sensors, smoke sensors, and HD cameras with night vision. No. And you set up credit card transaction alerts, a secure VPN for a private connection and continuous monitoring for our personal info on the dark web. Uh, I'm looking into it.
Starting point is 00:59:38 Stress less about security. Choose security solutions from tell us for peace of mind at home. and online visit tellus.com slash total security to learn more conditions apply well it's possible to a practical or ethical endeavor why it's not ethical
Starting point is 01:00:05 I can drink cow milk all day but the moment I put my lips to a through a squirrel's nipple I'm I'm the king of evil I'm Satan's friend And what is this Why is it not ethical It's expand it expand Yeah
Starting point is 01:00:21 Let's watch this Span this Negligible yield All right So wait It's only It's unethical If the squeeze ain't worth the juice
Starting point is 01:00:30 I feel like that's not really ethics anymore This is practicality I feel like these AI You get these AI overviews now And I feel like they don't understand Western philosophy You know to the point where they should at least I mean
Starting point is 01:00:42 am I wrong here? I feel like Aristotle or Plato or who's the other guy? Yeah, Plato. I feel like he would tell you, you know, it's either right or wrong. It doesn't matter of like it's not efficient. Efficiencies for like, you know, totalitarian states and like, you know, communism. You know, God fearing men, we just we do what's right. We do what's wrong.
Starting point is 01:01:00 Mm-hmm. When we do it's right. And we punish what's wrong. You know what I'm saying? I feel like, I feel like, you know, oh, yeah, look, it's evil because it's just not, it's like, it's stringy to me stringy so it's evil doesn't you know what I mean like it's like oh
Starting point is 01:01:15 you really want to eat pheasant you only get like a few bites so it's like you know it's wrong that's kind of a different thing am I crap man look answer to answer me right now please yes I know I go off of these tanges I'm not blaming but are you
Starting point is 01:01:33 reticent to respond because you're not sure what I'm talking about or you think I'm crazy to be making these points I feel these points are valid and they're actually pressing I think they're valid, too. Okay. I think that the most important part of this lifestyle.
Starting point is 01:01:49 Right, the homesteading, yeah. Is making little trinkets. Okay. Little homeset. Like, you would only get this from a place where, you know, you would only get this from a field where we're tilling the earth and stewarding animals. So it's like if you maybe sold like nice, like pigeon feather wreaths. okay
Starting point is 01:02:12 or something sure Pige and Feather of Reets that's interesting that could be a good scam I think when people like it's jewelry women like to buy dumb jewelry
Starting point is 01:02:20 wherever they go right they were made that's what made in a little workshop yes so but we can somehow scam them
Starting point is 01:02:28 and we could buy we could buy bullshit and but what what could what would we be lying to them about what would be
Starting point is 01:02:36 telling them it is like pigeon bone a pigeon bone bracelet that doesn't seem to be It might be a little bit, a little bit dark, but a pigeon beak pendant. A pigeon beak pendant. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:50 That's actually not, but I can call a man in China probably once we get this going. And here's the inventions. I need 10,000 beaks, you know, I want to pay you $1,000 for 10,000 beaks and we'll negotiate back in reason he's in Pudong province or something. Right. You know? Yeah, exactly. And these fools, these dumb women.

Starting point is 01:03:36 perhaps slightly, but not real. You know, they were just kind of, it was kind of just kind of just everything was amped up. and everything felt like meth which is kind of what we're entering now and then for this phase I'd like to spend that time
