Starting point is 00:00:01 Darkness struck, a gut-punched theft, Sun ripped away, her health bereft. I roar at the void. This ain't just fate, a cosmic scam I spit my hate. The games rigged tight, shadows deal, blood on their hands, I'll never kneel. Yet in the rage, a crack ignites, occulted sparks cut through the nights. The scars my key, hermetic and stark. To see, to rise, I hunt in the dark, fumbling, fear. through ruins maze, lights my war cry, born from the blaze.
Starting point is 00:00:49 The poem is Angels with Rifles. The track, I Am Sorrow, I Am Lust by Codex Seraphini. Check out the entire song at the end of the cast. Aloha everybody. You guys there? What a beautiful day it is today. What a beautiful day. I'm just stoked to be here. I've been working on, um,
Starting point is 00:01:24 some new ideas been working on trying to come up with some solutions and I've posted prior to this live video Tony what's up buddy first one here bro number one you're the best brother oh it comes number two three we're all filing in thank you so much for being here guys I think I got some cool stuff for you today and I'm stoked to be sharing it you know I think maybe the first The first thing I can do is start off with, if you see behind me right here, can you guys see this tree behind me right here? See, that's the woo-woo tree. That there.
Starting point is 00:02:06 I know what you're thinking, you're like, the woo-woo tree, George? What the heck is a woo-woo tree? Well, the woo-woo tree, my friend, see the branches on that tree? They're pretty thin, right? Like if I was to climb up that tree and try to hang on one of the branches, I'd probably fall down. And I'm thinking that that is quite possible. Like it's not, that's quite possible of my argumentation today. So my arguments are on the woo-woo tree.
Starting point is 00:02:36 We're gonna go way out on one of these limbs right here because the arguments I'm making, the examples I'm using don't have to necessarily be true to get the point across. That's my objective of the woo-woo tree. the woo-woo tree here. So before we get started on the woo-woo tree, I want to introduce you guys to a new concept. We talked a lot about language on this, you know, you, me, everybody in the chat, we've talked a lot about language. And one of the things we talk about language is having new words, a new vocabulary, and being able to express ourselves better. One example that brought
Starting point is 00:03:17 me to this next idea is the idea of schadenfreude. Are you guys familiar with that? Chadenfreude is a German word that means you are happy when someone, when something bad happens to someone you kind of don't like. So they have one word for that whole concept. And a lot of other languages have words like that. I think that that's one thing that's kind of lacking in the English language. So I would like to introduce one of those words. For the record, I think this came from Matt Hatton. I want to give credit where credit is due.
Starting point is 00:03:50 but I would like to introduce you, all of you, to Chachi. Right? Remember Chachi from like Happy Days? Okay, I'm going to turn Chachi into a concept. Because you know what Chachi is not? Chachi is not the Fonz. The Fonz is pretty cool. Chachi is not the Fons.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Thus, Chachi is not cool. So, you know, whenever you see someone that has hubris, whenever you think of corporate greed or arrogance, any conversation that kind of wades too deep into the muddy waters of materialism. You know what I mean by that? When people start talking about all the stuff they have or like they, hey, come check out my Ferrari or that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Like that's Chachi. And so if there's a lack of empathy or if there's ignorance, that is also Chachi. You know, the way I've been using it is like, you know, someone, if you're in a conversation and someone just for no reason kind of puts you down, I just tell them, hey, beat it, Chachi. And if you're in a meeting with someone and they're just clearly saying things you know aren't true. You just tell them, hey, look, you may got to lie to me, Chachi. You know, if you, for the girls out there, if you get some guy that's like hitting on you
Starting point is 00:04:57 way too hard, just be like, hey, take it easy, Chachi. I don't need that right now. Sometimes you get people that call us too much, you know. Like, you just called me five times. So on the sixth time, you pick up and you're like, hey, take it easy, Chachi, hang up. So we've kind of introduced Chachi a little bit. My previous podcast was quite a bit about Chachie in my interview of a corporate CEO. If you get a chance, you might want to check that one out there. So moving forward here to the woo-woo tree, this is kind of high-octane speculation, philosophical speculation. But if you look at the nature of our planet and the nature of our evolution, it seems to me it's kind of fractal.
Starting point is 00:05:43 And I tried to post up some pictures to show you about that. Like if you look at the post, you'll see, I think that you'll see just a repeating pattern. you know, the big picture is the same as the small picture. And that's pretty much what the fractal is. Another example would be if you look at the map, if you look at like a topographical, is that the right word? A topographical map? And you can see the peaks of the mountains.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Those correspond with the shorelines of that particular, whether it be a lake or whether it be the ocean. It's pretty amazing to look at that. And what that does is it allows you to, understand like kind of the nature, the fractal nature of our environment. You know, I'm kind of reminded real quickly here of the great philosopher Bradley that said life is too short, so love the one you got because you might get run over or you might get shot. You know what I mean by that?
Starting point is 00:06:53 I don't know why that song just kind of came into my head, but it's a, it's pretty good, right? Okay. So back to the fractal nature of our humanity. We know that mountaintops correspond with coastlines. We also know that history doesn't rhyme. I'm sorry, history doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. And that's also the way our planet moves through the galaxy. Like, you know, you think we just do this, but we really corkscrew.
Starting point is 00:07:23 We're corkscrewing through the galaxy. So we're spinning, but we're never spinning in the same. revolution. And it's important. That's important because you're not repeating the cycle. You're actually moving forward in a similar pattern and there's a difference there. You know what I mean by that? If you were repeating it, you'd hear the same song over and over again. But if you were moving forward in a similar pattern, you'd play the record all the way through. And that's what we have to do is our society. Does that kind of make sense? I hope so. And so, I'm going to tie that together with our society right now.
Starting point is 00:08:05 If you look at the leaders in our society right now, they're all kind of boomers. And if you look at the ideas of our society, they are all boomer ideas. The great symbols of our society in the last 50 years are the rocket and the bulldozer. Like they're pretty antiquated. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:08:30 Those are the two biggest symbols of our, society like in a way it's kind of sad but in a way it's beautiful because we're going to move past those ideas right and speaking of the rocket like what are we doing we're already out in space we're as far out in space as we're going to get you want to go further like we're already on a spaceship traveling through space so anyways that was kind of a little meandering right there you to move a little bit further on the the ideas and sims and symbols of our society and the some of the ideas are like look at Ray Kurzweil that guy is a bona fide genius but he wants to live forever and look I love science fiction I read a lot of it
Starting point is 00:09:22 and I love theoretical ideas but you can't live forever Ray and the more that I think about it it kind of saddens me like look how much money is being put into longevity right like people want to and i think we're all going to be a victim of this like the older you get the more you wish you were the way you were in your youth however because the people leading our society right now want more than anything to be younger a lot of them anyway what we're seeing is their attitudes manifested in our society like how much money's going into living forever in this singularity like look you can make a really cool recording of yourself and you can play it back to your great great grandkids but you're not alive you're not going to
Starting point is 00:10:11 live forever you can't live forever and why would you want to live forever that's ridiculous how many insights come to the man who's about to face death you could make the argument that in fact there are only certain truths that you can know when you face death and anybody who's been close to death knows that. Anybody who's been touched by death knows that. Why would you want to deny yourself the knowledge of what happens? You know, and this funneling of profits and this ever-dividing, this ever-widening gap of division, it seems to me like people who are afraid to die. Like, how many judges do we have that sit on a board of directors and also fill another responsibility as a consultant.
Starting point is 00:11:07 You know, we have a lot of people in their 60s that are holding on to five jobs that all pay $1.2 million. Like, shouldn't you be looking for someone to hand the torch to? Shouldn't you be looking for someone
Starting point is 00:11:25 to mentor? Like, shouldn't you be making peace with moving on to the next stage? And I, look, I get it. I'm, you know, I'm not quite 50. And I know that I am going to continue to change and see things different. However, that's what I'm seeing now from our society. I'm going to get a shot of water here.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Another point that that kind of got me thinking about this is, have you guys ever heard of the, let me just look at my notes here because this one's kind of tricky. Okay. Have you guys heard of the theory of recapaping? I know I didn't really hear of it when I was a young man, but I've heard of it now and I'm going to share it with you And this is this is one that's going to be up on one of those It's so true
Starting point is 00:12:34 That's a great it's a great quote It's so true So this next theory the theory of recapitulation is going to be something that's way out on one of these limbs You know what I mean like a thin limb of the woo-oo tree, but let me read it to you so you can You can kind of follow along with me the theory of recapitulation also a It's also called the biogenic law or embryological paralyism. That is a mouthful. It often expresses, it's often expressed as ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.
Starting point is 00:13:02 This is the historical hypothesis that the development of an embryo of an animal from fertilization to gestation goes through stages resembling or representing successive adult stages in the evolution of the animal's remote ancestors. Did you get all that? Should I read it again? And let me try to put that in terms that I can actually understand. So if you think of the sperm meeting the egg, like the sperm kind of looks like a little fish anyway, right? So the sperm meets the egg.
Starting point is 00:13:38 And then all of a sudden they become one and you have conception. Then cells begin to divide. That is also theorized how life on our planet began. right, like a single cell begins dividing, and that begins the process of complex life. As on our planet is theorized to have started that way, so as in our conception it started that way. And then as the, I think it's called a bioplast,
Starting point is 00:14:08 but as those cells move down the fallopian tube and attached to the wall of the uterus, you know, the cells begin to divide, and then the, the, embryo actually grows its first growth pattern is almost like a fish it has like little slits on its neck and it has a tail you know and then a few more weeks it starts growing arm buds which represent us moving from the sea to the land and then you know that sort of process continues all the way until you know i don't think your brain is fully formed until you're 25
Starting point is 00:14:45 and even even inside your brain you have what we call the lizard brain you have what we call the lizard like the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. So it's an interesting theory to think about. And it kind of gives credence to, you know, the whole process of the fractal evolution. You know, like what happens above so below. So it just, I think it's important to think about that because you have to understand where we are
Starting point is 00:15:20 if you want to know where we can go. So many of us are, so disconnected. It seems like we just, we lost our way. You know, and we've, we've come to a point where the ideas that have worked in the past are no longer working for us. And people are beginning to get scared. People are beginning to, to just, some people are beginning to panic. You know, if you look at a lot of the chaos out there, I think that's a good, a good segue into where we can go from here. And I think we, where we can go from here, is start coming up with new ideas and reinventing ourselves.
Starting point is 00:16:12 But to do that, I just want to take one more quick trip through the past. And that is, if you look at any society, or if you look at our history, maybe the history of the West, you know, you can tell who's in charge by how tall the buildings are. I know that sounds crazy. But if you think about it, you know, a thousand years ago, 800 years ago, maybe a little bit more. The biggest building was the castle.
Starting point is 00:16:49 And who lived in the castle? The king and the queen lived in the castle. And that was the form of government. And then shortly after the castle, then you had the church tower. And then the church ruled, like the big, The biggest building was the cathedral, and that's where the power lies. And now you have the seat, you know, you have these corporate towers, and that's where
Starting point is 00:17:22 the seat of power lies now. The tallest building, it sounds so simple and it's clearly simplified, however, it makes sense the tallest building is the seat of power, right? We've gone from a king to a... religious figure to corporate power. And again, it's, it's a similar form, but it's changed. Do you know what I mean by that? Like, here's an example.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Like, let's say you're taking a beautiful walk down this country road and you stop off because you hear this stream and you walk down by that stream and you see a whirlpool. Right? And you're like, wow, look at that little whirlpool right there. And it's just spinning around and spinning around and spinning. and around and you just, you look at it and you're amazed. We've all seen a whirlpool, right? And then as you look at that whirlpool, you realize it's a form.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Like it's, there's water in there, but it's never the same water in there. You know what I mean by that? Like the water comes in and it spins out. It comes in and it spins out. And you can come back the next day and the whirlpool will still be there. However, the water in that whirlpool is not the same water. It's been moved through there. Does that make sense?
Starting point is 00:18:44 So the form is there, but the substance is different. You know, there's the parable of Theseus' ship, right? If you, let's say you have this gargantuan ship and you decide to sail across the Atlantic Ocean and you, in your ship, you have got these wooden barrels of whiskey. Maybe Jack Daniels or something. I don't know. What kind of whiskey would you put in barrels? Probably old whiskey. Anyways, you have enough barrels in the bow of your ship to replace every plank on your boat. And as you go on your tour, the boat begins to break down.
Starting point is 00:19:26 And as the boat begins to break down, you replace the bad planks with the planks from the barrels in the bow. And by the time you get to your destination, you have depleted the barrels, and every plank on your ship has been replaced by a... plank from a barrel? Is that the same ship that you set sail on? You've replaced all of them. The form is the same, but the substance is different.
Starting point is 00:19:56 You know what I mean by that? I hope that makes sense because I think it's important to point that out too. The reason that's important is because the next argument I'm going to make will be taking us out
Starting point is 00:20:17 further onto the woo-woo tree. You're going to like this one. I like this one. I hope you do. Okay, so we've had, we've had religious figures, we've had divine rule. What we have now, you could argue that the corporate rule
Starting point is 00:20:33 is based in science. And I know, I'm gonna get, I'm gonna get a ton of heat for this, but science is basically prophecy. Right? Right? I know, I have all my friends that like,
Starting point is 00:20:46 I lose them right here because they're like, dude, What are you talking about, you weirdo? It's not prophecy. Science is prophecy. Science seeks to make predictions based on past events. Right?
Starting point is 00:21:00 You with me so far? I know some of you were thinking, well, yeah, that's what it is. Well, that's essentially what throwing magic chicken bones does. Look, I'm going to, I'm going to throw these magic chicken bones and tell you what happens. I know, I know, I know. Listen, George, it's based, you see, George, you don't know. understand is there's laws in nature, George. Everything is based on laws of nature. And to you, my friend, I say, no, no, they're not. We don't know enough to know the laws of nature. It's pure
Starting point is 00:21:30 hubris to say that we know, we understand the laws of nature. We don't. In fact, that's the problem with our thinking and the reason our society is the way it is now is because we think we know. We don't know. We don't know. Like, we're barely out of the trees, I think. You know, answer me this like the when you think of the different paradoxes of science and it's so don't get me wrong science is so beautiful and I love it and and and all my friends that are that are falls deep in it I love you but why is it that science seeks to be time independent like they don't ever factor in time like you know the schrodinger's cat exercise right half the time it's dead half the time it's real you know what they never say what day
Starting point is 00:22:20 was that on on did they ever say well on Thursdays, it's always alive. And it wouldn't even matter because on Thursdays every day, we're in a different part of the universe. Like, how does that affect us? Are we near a different magnetic field? You know what I'm saying? They try to be time independent.
Starting point is 00:22:37 They try to be time independent. And you can't, if you don't adjust for variables, you can't get an answer, right? A squared plus B squared is C squared, but A squared plus D squared is not C squared. Right, if you call my mind, phone number, you get me. But if you change one number and my phone number, you can get someone across the world. How could we possibly pretend to practice this scientific theory when we can't
Starting point is 00:23:02 even nail down the variables? You don't I mean by that? I hope so. I hope I'm making sense there. I kind of want to stay on the topic of symbols. I know I've given you the great symbols of our time have been the bulldozer in the rocket. Like what do you think the symbols of the next generation? are going to be. I think that's where we need to start moving forward. We need to start thinking about new symbols. You know, the bulldozer and the rocket, what do they symbolize?
Starting point is 00:23:55 They symbolize conquest. They symbolize destruction. There has to be better symbols. And we have to learn to read our symbols better. We need better symbols. We need to introduce that into our language. You guys have any, what do you think the symbols? symbols could be. I'm not sure. Another part of our fractal evolution, I think, is our relationships.
Starting point is 00:24:41 And I can, I wish I could tell you that this is how relationships are. However, I can only tell you how I perceive relationships. And at 45, I've, I mean, I've, I've had a lot of failed ones and I've had a lot of good ones. And I've seen my family members have good ones and bad ones. And, you know, coming from a home where my parents got divorced, getting to learn what happened and why it happened and making that interpretation and then trying to apply it to my life, I think I've come up with some pretty good answers.
Starting point is 00:25:19 And let me just try to chart this course and bear with me because I've just kind of free flow in here. But it seems to me that somewhere along the way we've decided that we've decided not to protect our women you know what I mean but that I'm not ladies I'm not saying you need us to protect you I get it you're you're smart
Starting point is 00:25:44 you're strong you're capable and now more than ever you are and I hope that there's equal opportunities I do however is it not the man's responsibility to protect the very women that they love I mean
Starting point is 00:26:02 it seems to me like when I look at some of the women in my family that I love. Like, I think that's what happened. I think that that's why there were failed relationships. Like, if you see someone get into a relationship with a guy that is abusive, be it verbally or physically, like, that guy's definitely not protecting his woman. But the woman learned to be in a relationship like that because she had a father that
Starting point is 00:26:29 didn't protect her as good as he could have. I'm not blaming him. You know, I'm just saying that somewhere along the line, whether it be society or the advertising companies or the Rosie the Riveter or we got this idea like I think we got confused and we went from from thinking women can do everything and then that being synonymous with men not having to protect them you know what I mean by that and I think that should be an important part of education and since we're talking about education and we're moving forward and right now the face of education is going to change forever,
Starting point is 00:27:13 I believe that you're going to see a lot of schools not open and that the virtual learning is the learning that's going to happen forever. If anything, you'll see small groups of children go into institutions for a few days a week and it'll be a hybrid study. And, you know, that might be a good way to do it, but rest assured, it's never going back to the way that it was. And I would like to suggest that part of every course should be a relationship course. Part of every course from kindergarten up, the boys should be told, look, this young girl over here, it's your responsibility to protect her.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Right? And that means that if you hear someone saying something to her, if you see someone attack her, like, first off, don't ever be that guy. Yeah, look, I get it. Sometimes you should probably stay out of people's business. Sometimes people say things that they deserve to get jacked or whatever, but just don't do it. You know what I mean? Yeah. Listen, they might, what is the old Chris Rock joke?
Starting point is 00:28:22 There's a reason for everything. There's a reason to throw an old man down a set of stairs. Just don't do it. It's so, it's good advice. But I would submit that that is part of the education process moving forward is reestablishing values. You know, so much of our values. have been bought out. So much of our values have come from scientific materialism where we just decide that, you know what, I know that I shouldn't be doing the PR from Onsato, but dude, I got a kid to feed or man, how am I going to pay for my house? You know, it's it's essentially replacing morals with money. You know, I think we could restructure values by
Starting point is 00:29:09 by changing the monetary system. Right? People, you know, we, if you look at the executives on Wall Street, or if you look at people in positions that make a lot of money, they often talk about retaining talent and how much money it costs and they speak of sacrifice. And they have decided to say to themselves, whether it be honest or not, they have decided to say that we need this much money to retain talent. We need this much money to do this. Otherwise, people won't want to do it. You need that incentive.
Starting point is 00:29:44 But I disagree wholeheartedly. I think that people rise to the top for change, not for money. You know what I mean by that? Have you ever seen somebody that loves what they do? They get up and they do it every day. And then the money comes to them. They're not doing it for a paycheck. In fact, if you're doing something for a paycheck,
Starting point is 00:30:03 I know, because I do it. Every day you get up like a little piece of you dies. Like you have to leave your family. family and then go do something that is hopefully great for the community that doesn't cause any harm, but you're leaving the very people you love to get some sort of sustenance to make them better. So I would submit to you that people work for change and not for money. And that those kind of values should be instilled in the next, the next. wave the next form, the next world pool of education, right? Because education is changing.
Starting point is 00:30:47 And education, as we know it today, is a form of education. The institution is a form. The university system is a form. It's its own whirlpool, right? So education as a world pool will still be there, but that institution is leaving and a new form is coming in. which brings me to an idea that I think can create change. Like, I've been very fortunate lately, and I've been very thankful to get to have so many people listen to a couple of my ideas. And I've been talking to a lot of younger kids at my work, a couple younger kids on my route. Some of the kids on my route are, you know, they've got nothing to do because everything is shut down. What if, and I know there's some of you guys on here.
Starting point is 00:31:39 I see some of you guys. Like I talked to Darren and Justin and all these guys. You guys have a pretty big following. What if we each had two mentors? What if we were a mentor to say five kids? And then once a month we had a semi debate, not really against each other, but we could have people submit questions about the future. Like for instance, what do you think is the most important part of the
Starting point is 00:32:09 education in the future. And then, you know, maybe I have four kids that I talk to. And then those four kids go on and they, they present their answers to that question. And then Darren or Justin or anybody on here, like if you have some, some people that you're mentoring right now, then we should take time to provide this new form of online education. We can be the education that the future needs because who knows better what you need in your community than you right and if you as someone who has is fortunate enough to have some resources and have some time and have the ability to speak clear and well to younger people and they find you worthy of of listening to then we should come together and you know once a month just present hey here is my team here is
Starting point is 00:33:05 the questions presented to my team. And then maybe the young kids I'm mentoring can ask the kids your mentoring questions. You know, we could establish a new network. We could establish this network of people between cities, between strangers, and come up with ideas from different parts of the world that we never thought were possible. You know what I mean by that? Like different cultures have different solutions to different problems. Different cultures have different solutions to the same problem. And I think when you start to understand someone else's point of view,
Starting point is 00:33:38 I think when you can hear someone from a different part of the world explain to you why they think this thing is important, that you may think is insignificant, it can fundamentally change the way you think. And if we can fundamentally change the way we think, we can fundamentally change the way we talk, and we can fundamentally change the way we live.
Starting point is 00:33:59 So that's a big part of what I've been thinking. thinking about and like I've I've been so lucky to talk to you people like all of you I've go on your pages and I check stuff out and you guys are doing such amazing things I thought I would just try to reach out to you and and see what you thought about that idea or how we move forward with that idea I've already I've been doing it I have a couple young guys that I mentor and I've I'll give them a book to read you know or I'll sit down with them and just ask them how's your family like what are you doing what are you doing what are your kids doing right now? How is your relationship with your wife or what do you guys talk about and why do you
Starting point is 00:34:39 talk about that and you know it's pretty personal I get it some people might not want to share what that is you know but um it's important especially now especially now I've had some people talk to me that their kids had gone to school and now their kids are out of school and they get this optional online assignment and the girl I was talking to said my my kids are out of school and they done with that assignment in like 30 minutes. She goes, that makes me wonder, like, what, what were they doing to school? If my kid can do the entire assignment in the day in like 30 minutes, you know, what were they doing there? And that begs the question, what the heck are we doing as a society? Why do we put our old, the capuna, why do we put the wisest people into old folks' homes?
Starting point is 00:35:25 And then us lunatic middle age people, we go work for somebody else and we drop our kids off another institution. It's like the whole disintegration of the family. Like, no wonder things are so messed up. We've lost the family unit. We have lost the very unit that gives us our humanity.
Starting point is 00:35:46 If that structure is gone, you know, it can't be replaced by the state. It can't be replaced by anything. Your family is your family. And some of us have a bigger family and some of us have a smaller family. You know, it doesn't mean you can't, you know, the one thing I love about Hawaii is that everybody's an uncle, everybody's an auntie.
Starting point is 00:36:09 You know, the culture still understands that it does take a village. The culture still understands that, hey, don't be afraid of your neighbor. Hey, that guy out there, go ask him what he's doing. Like, is that guy shaping a surfboard? Let me go talk to that guy. Or what is that guy? Dude, that guy has an amazing garden. Like, how does he kill all those bugs?
Starting point is 00:36:26 How come I can't kill the bugs in my garden, you know? And you go talk to your neighbor and he's like, oh, bro, you got to put copper. You gotta put copper down on the ground right there. It'll kill everything. It's like, what? You know, and especially now, especially with the people we have that are moving on, like, we're gonna lose a lot of wisdom. We're gonna get rid of a lot of bad ideas, but we're gonna lose a lot of wisdom.
Starting point is 00:36:47 And for people our age, and by our age, I mean like 30 to 50, we need to be teaching the people younger than us. We need to fill the roles of mentors. We need to fill the roles of teachers, and we need to fill the roles of teachers, and we need to fill the roles. of people that helped us. You know, I bet if you're honest with yourself, you can think about somebody in your life,
Starting point is 00:37:10 be it a boss or a supervisor, an uncle, an aunt, a mom, a cousin. You had someone in your life that you looked up to. Right? Maybe it was a TV character. I don't know. Maybe it was the skipper from Gilligan's Island. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Maybe it was the professor. By the way, I think Marianne is way hotter than Jen. I'm sure you all agree with me. But yeah, like, I want you to try to think of someone you admire and then be that person. Try to think of what, you know what I do? I try to think of what somebody smarter than me would say, and then I try to say that. I try to think of what somebody a million times better than me would do to solve a problem, and then I try to do that. It's a pretty good philosophy, and I kind of enjoy doing it, and it's kind of a fun experiment.
Starting point is 00:38:00 I think things are going to get a little tricky, especially in the near future. I think one thing about Hawaii, they have the coconut wireless. If you ever come to Hawaii, you know this, be careful what you say, because you live on an island and the word travels fast. It's really difficult to keep a secret in Hawaii. And so what I'm going to tell you right now is pure speculation. It's a rumor. That's all I know.
Starting point is 00:38:29 I'm not saying this is going to happen. But I've saying that I have heard this. And what I have heard is that the airlines and the hotel companies, Chamber of Commerce, like they're suing to open up. Not only are they suing, but they're threatening to leave Hawaii. They're like, look, we're going to just pull out and leave everything. This is all speculation. Could just all rumor.
Starting point is 00:38:51 I don't know if it's true. So I'm definitely point that out. This is probably, it's all speculation. I have no idea. I heard this. They're talking about, listen, if you don't open by August 1st, we're just going to leave everything. You know, it's kind of a form of, like, blackmail in that, like, listen, you either,
Starting point is 00:39:10 you either let us make money. You let me sell this timeshare 1,000 times to 1,000 people where I'm leaving. You know, I'm not sure how to think about that. Like, on one hand, there's so many awesome people that work in the tourist industry and, like, Hawaii is so beautiful. I think people should come here and experience it. And, like, I don't want people to find themselves in a position where they can't fend for themselves or have an income because the institution that they work at is no longer viable. I get it. You know, and along with that comes, if you've been at a place for 30 years, like you have tied your meaning of your life to
Starting point is 00:39:55 that place, like part of your souls there. I don't. I don't. I don't wish to see anybody go through loss like that. On the other hand, like, the corporate side of it to me is like, like, it's just so slimy. Like, listen, if you don't do what I say, I'm going to take my ball and go home. It's like, we'll take it then. Get out of here. You think you think you're that important? You think you're that important that like you're going to ruin everything if you leave your big baby.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Well, go ahead. Then no one wants you here. That's the other side of what I think. You know what I mean? You know that guy that's like, I'm going to take this leave. It's not fair. Like, that seems to me to be, like, the Chamber of Commerce and, like, the CEOs of, like, these. You know what reminds me of?
Starting point is 00:40:42 Remember Paris Hilton's brother got on that plane one time? Like, a couple of years back, and he just threw, like, that total temper tantrum because he couldn't smoke a cigarette and he started telling people, like, how inferior they are. Like, that's what I think of when I think of the Hilton. I know. I hope I didn't ruin it for you guys. I'm sorry. It's totally what I think of. But like, look at that kid. Like, his dad's an awesome mega millionaire, but a horrible father. A horrible father, you know what I mean? Oh, life is so
Starting point is 00:41:11 funny sometimes. Life giveth and life taketh away. It has a sense of humor, doesn't it? So, yeah, that's what I heard. And so if that's a rumor going around here, I'd imagine that there's also rumors going around where you live. And, you know, what if that happens? What if that happens in your area? Like, how does that affect housing? How does that affect the, more importantly, how does that affect liability? Right?
Starting point is 00:41:39 I think that that's kind of a big part of what all this is about is liability. Right? The insurance companies can't figure out a way where they don't have to pay people. And that's why no one can go back to work. And that's what the vaccine is about. It's like, listen, if we give everybody a vaccine, no one can sue. the pharmaceutical companies so we have plausible deniability and thus everyone can go back to work i mean it's kind of it's kind of ingenious they could give you a shot of like a b12 shot everybody
Starting point is 00:42:05 gets a b12 shot we'll tell them it's the antidote and bing bang bang bang no liability because right now if you go into a hotel or you go into work if you go somewhere and you got covid there theoretically you could sue that place right i'm not an attorney but if you could prove you got it there I think that there's grounds there or vice versa maybe the institution could sue you if you had it so there's a huge liability problem
Starting point is 00:42:29 that's stopping things from getting back to the way they were and I think that that's that's one reason why you saw like obviously they're not going to tell us who the bailouts went to but I think it's a pretty safe bet that you're gonna
Starting point is 00:42:45 you know it's sort of the AIG thing right where the insurance insurance company is like not going to be able to cover everything. So, I don't know, maybe this is a, maybe this is a good time to rethink insurance, right? Like, it's kind of a scam, right? Like, do you take, when you play Blackjack in Vegas,
Starting point is 00:43:05 do you get insurance? How about this? Like, what if, how about I pay my insurance all year and then if nothing happens, you give me that money back, or you give me some of it back, right? How about that? Instead, they just, they just take all your money.
Starting point is 00:43:19 I'll share this story with you. I was at a meeting a while back. And it was a meeting of truck drivers. I'll just say that. It's a meeting of truck drivers. And this insurance guy came in. And this guy, it's so sad. This guy comes in and he's talking to a group of men and women
Starting point is 00:43:41 between the ages of 20 and 62. Some of the people in this group had been at this place for like 32, 33, 34 years. And in walks, the insurance agent flanked on both sides by like upper division management people. And he decides he's going to speak to the group. And he says this to the group. He says, you know, ladies and gentlemen, I just want to say thank you. You know, I know this sounds crazy coming from an insurance guy.
Starting point is 00:44:10 This is the insurance guy talking. I know this sounds crazy with an insurance guy. But my main goal is that you guys all stay safe. I care about your guy's safety. and I have a family and I know you have families and I'm here today to talk with your management team about how to keep you guys safe
Starting point is 00:44:25 because that's all I care about. I don't care about money. I don't care about anything but your guy's safety. That was paraphrasing but it's pretty darn close to what that guy said. And so, you know,
Starting point is 00:44:38 I had known about the meeting so I researched the company that the guy had and the company this guy came from a few years ago like the CEO of this corporation he was forced to step up down because he came out publicly and told every agent, every adjuster that you deny every single claim regardless of its merit. Like the guy said that publicly. So obviously he had to step down,
Starting point is 00:45:01 right? And so I did some more research. And so after the insurance agent addressed me and this entire group of people, some of whom have given their life to this company, some of them who have had double shoulder surgery or double knee surgery or can't throw a ball to their son. And like he's he just told all that. Like he said that he cares about their safety. So I raised my hand and I said, may I ask a question? And he said, sure. I says, you know, I think it's amazing that speech you gave and thank you.
Starting point is 00:45:28 But I doubt the validity. And he's like, what do you mean? And I said, well, a few years ago, your CEO went public and told everyone that you, the agents and adjusters are to deny every single claim regardless of merit. Like how do you, how can you work? for a company like that and then come over here and tell me that you care about my safety. He just got quiet, you know, and then like, you know what I mean? Like when they get quiet, what do you do? You come with the other hand, right? You set them up with the left and then you come
Starting point is 00:46:00 with the right hand. So I set them up with that one, dead silence. And then I said, additionally, you know, the number one injury at my place of work is a repetitive motion injury. Your company is spending millions of dollars trying to prove there's no such thing as a repetitive motion injury. Like, how do you sleep at night? Like, how can you come in here and face these people that have ruined shoulders and ruin knees and don't spend time with their kids
Starting point is 00:46:27 and you tell them you love them and you want them to be safe? And then you spend all your money trying to prove their number one injury isn't legitimate. I'll tell you what, that was a great day. It was a great day, like, it ended up being like, scary for me a little bit, you know, because there's definitely blowback from that comment.
Starting point is 00:46:46 There's definitely blowback from there. But, you know, it just made me be more aware, too. Like, I say dumb things a lot, you know, but if you're going to speak in front of a crew of people, you should be careful what you say. You should try to not step on people's toes. And, you know, now that I said this probably, I'll probably say something super silly. And if I do, I'm sorry, but I forgot how we got here. I think because we were talking about insurance agents.
Starting point is 00:47:12 But anyways, that's pretty much what I got for you guys today. I love you guys. Super stoked you're here. And let me know what you think about the setting up like a circuit of debates between possible mentor groups. Does that make sense? Like if you have a few people and we could set up a, I don't know, Saturdays at four, whatever the time zones are, we could start introducing questions and ideas to younger people that will be able to take those ideas and make them better.
Starting point is 00:47:50 You know what I mean? Maybe we could set up a series of debate-like forums to take the place of sporting events. It's kind of like a sporting event. You know what I mean? Like, how would you handle this? How would you do that? You guys are teamed up. But we could come up with a lot of cool ideas to help out the younger,
Starting point is 00:48:08 generation or, you know, we could tell them, okay, we could give them situational ideas. You're here. These people are saying this. What is the right thing to do? And I think we can make a better world like that. And I think we can start talking about more solutions. So I love you guys. Thank you for tuning in. Welcome to the woo-woo tree. There'll be more of the woo-woo tree where my arguments aren't strong enough to be held by one of the weak lens. So anyways, check out the theory of recapitulation If you are feeling happy, then just let your mind roll out onto your own woo-woo tree. You know, and I hope sometimes if you go way out on the woo-woo tree, he'll be like, woo, woo!
Starting point is 00:48:53 You know what I mean? Like, you'll have this new insight and you'll be like, whoa! So, and also remember Chachi, right? Tell Chachi to beat it if he starts creeping into your life. All right? I love you guys. Aloha.
