WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:07.440 Get ready for. 2 00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:16.839 August sixth, twenty twenty six, allegedly, according to that thing 3 00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:20.160 we call a calendar. This the o'celly effect. You hearing it, 4 00:00:20.239 --> 00:00:23.120 but most likely you're catching the podcast because not too 5 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:25.199 many of you hear it live. I was just discussing 6 00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:29.039 that with my newest co host, Thursday or Thursday co 7 00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:33.079 host Brad, who is definitely a wild card so far, 8 00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:36.920 and we'll see exactly how wild that goes. Anyway, it 9 00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:39.359 is Thursday as I speak to you, But God knows 10 00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:41.560 when you're listening to me, and only you know if 11 00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:43.520 you're paying attention to that wind up toy or the 12 00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:47.359 digital representation thereof on the wall or on your computer 13 00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:50.439 or final slab of choice, it doesn't really matter what 14 00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:52.399 time it is or when it is. As a matter 15 00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.039 of fact, it's all perspective. And aren't we all just 16 00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:59.479 part of the same thing in the greater universal sense. No, 17 00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:01.679 we're not going there tonight, and I'm not doing phone 18 00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:06.040 calls tonight, but we're also kind of just improvising. And 19 00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:10.000 we went live almost ten minutes after eight pm Eastern 20 00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.599 here in that place we used to call America. But 21 00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:15.640 like I said, when you decide to play. It could 22 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:20.519 be anytime and welcome anyways, Brett, how you doing tonight? 23 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:21.680 First of all, I know I talked to you a 24 00:01:21.719 --> 00:01:23.719 little bit before we went to air, but it was 25 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.280 half of a conversation and half ass to that how 26 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:26.760 you doing. 27 00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:29.120 Well? 28 00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:31.719 Stepped for at HR and I said that you're you're 29 00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:34.040 kind of in the hot seat starting late, so get 30 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:35.319 your ass out of here and I'll take over. 31 00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:39.480 Yeah, it's a sad thing. I work for myself, so 32 00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:42.480 if I'm in trouble with myself and arguing with myself, 33 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:45.200 hey wait, that explains what my wife was complaining about 34 00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:49.879 the other night. Okay, anyway, it's confusing, and you can 35 00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:52.400 you know, one of my favorite stupid T shirts of 36 00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:56.400 all time was is roses are red, vilelets are blue. 37 00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.799 I'm a schizophrenic and so am I. I don't know 38 00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:02.239 why I love that T shirt so much, because it's 39 00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:04.400 not even the real meaning of a schizophrenic, A split 40 00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.280 personality thing and all that. That's not schizophrenia, that's a 41 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:12.560 totally different disorder. And now they call it what is it, oh, identity? 42 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:16.719 What is it? Identity dismorphia? I don't even freaking remember 43 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:20.800 the term anymore. Split personality or multiple personality disorder can't 44 00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:25.000 even be defined that way now right anyways? 45 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.080 Uh knows the difference? 46 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:29.479 Yeah, well there is. 47 00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:34.159 Yeah, A learned that surprisingly whenever I went to school 48 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:36.039 on La Grains, the Greens, just to be an independent 49 00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:36.719 the school. 50 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.520 District and the actually had a discent curriculum. 51 00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:42.280 Looking back on it compared to now now, it's so 52 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:44.159 u you got a pencil, get the fuck under. 53 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.919 You're going to allow learn whatever the stick wants you 54 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:47.280 to learn. 55 00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:48.919 You know, we didn't try to feel that bucket as 56 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.120 must garbage as as they can, because nobody's really. 57 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:52.800 Learning shit anymore. 58 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.159 And uh, they actually had a psychology course where I went, 59 00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:01.360 so the actually talks the different skits of multiple personality 60 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.199 and basically hits my fears like mails on a ruck. 61 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:07.199 Whatever time I watched me and myself and I ran, 62 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:11.520 I'm like, I get so dumb broad Yeah. 63 00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:14.240 No, it's crazy. And that's later. I mean, you know, 64 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.080 back in the days when like they showed us this 65 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:19.240 stuff in cartoons, cartoons were much more educational. And I'm 66 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:21.479 talking bugs Bunny, I'm not even talking to the Sesame 67 00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:26.240 Street animations. I mean, cartoons were much more educational than 68 00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:30.000 educational TV in a way, because they taught you things 69 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:32.360 that you didn't know otherwise. They taught you about the 70 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.840 existence of a great many things that were far outside 71 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.280 of your realm at that point or your broadcast area 72 00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:38.960 when you were looking at bugs, Bunny and some of 73 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:41.439 the stuff that was going on. And occasionally they even 74 00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:44.159 shoved a little World War iiO propaganda in there. Even 75 00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:45.800 though it was the seventies by the time I was 76 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:50.360 watching it, it was still educational. But yeah, I went 77 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:52.039 to a school where we had and I was in 78 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:54.840 a crappy school system, and we had a split course 79 00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:58.280 where you had psychology for half the year and sociology 80 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:01.840 for the other half of the year. This right, Yeah, 81 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:03.960 that was the thing. There also used to be this 82 00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:06.639 thing called civics. Ladies and gentlemen. How wait, Aim, how 83 00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:08.719 old are you, Bren? I mean generally U. 84 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:12.280 Forty three? 85 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.560 Okay, you are like ten years younger than me. And 86 00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:17.800 I thought they abandoned all that crap by the time 87 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.120 you're in high school, you're Yeah. 88 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.160 We're always down in Texas, so it's like we were 89 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:25.600 kind of behind everyone else. I was like those all 90 00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:27.800 states around us of alose get movies and ship way 91 00:04:27.839 --> 00:04:28.560 before we would. 92 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:30.839 So I was like, everything kind of hit us late. 93 00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:33.399 But I noticed never was one of the words out 94 00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:33.959 of high school. 95 00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:35.879 I was dating a Bard, I was still in high school, 96 00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:38.160 and I saw we were looking at their homework, and 97 00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:39.720 I was like, what the fuck is this? You know, 98 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:43.480 to teach me additional subtraction, but then it looked up 99 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:45.519 numbers and give it makes sense, but like, what in 100 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:48.000 the hell is this common core math? 101 00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:53.120 Common core math became the same crap that they taught 102 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.360 us almost ten years previous, right when we were in 103 00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.519 you know, uh, like first grade kindergarten. That kind of 104 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.720 math they were still teaching to the high school students 105 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:05.319 kind of means you failed somewhere along the line if 106 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:08.639 you can't move on beyond addition and subtraction. In my mind, 107 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:11.000 I don't know, but you know, maybe you've got a 108 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:11.680 different opinion. 109 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:14.480 No, as I said, they just said, they kind of 110 00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.600 lost me onto the SERTN Mexicano letters and the numbers. 111 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:18.480 But I kind of get it. Now they'll come back. 112 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.000 Doing formulas and stuff. I would love to go back 113 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:23.839 and relearn all I said, because now that's something that 114 00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:25.680 can actually apply it too. I wasn't playing going to 115 00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.720 work in construction when I was young. Most people don't 116 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:30.879 you know. I was gonna be a rock star, but 117 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.680 a wound up in the construction field. And now I'm 118 00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.959 kind of looking back wishing I could know trigonometry like 119 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:39.399 what they were teaching. I was like, okay, that's what 120 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.120 that was, and they're teaching the frigging angles and stuff. 121 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.120 And then I used to actually know how to reshoot 122 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:46.399 music whenever I was really young. If I can remember 123 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.480 that now, i'd be fucking unstoppable and guitar, but oh 124 00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:50.120 that's gone. 125 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.959 I've been trying to explain these memory gaps with some people, 126 00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.639 because this I don't think happened to previous generations before X. 127 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.360 We ended up with these memory gaps where we might 128 00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.319 have known how to do something when we were younger 129 00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.040 and literally would lose this skill later. Now a lot 130 00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:06.639 of people say, you know, you use it or you 131 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.399 lose it. But it's an interesting point you bring up 132 00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:12.360 about the sheet music, because that was a bare minimum 133 00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.720 requirement before you got to high school that you knew 134 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.920 how to read basic sheet music as part of your 135 00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:21.399 you know arts. You know, it wasn't arts. It was 136 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:25.120 called the electives, right, your electives. You had to fill 137 00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:26.879 them in, and you could fill them in so many 138 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.000 different ways, but you almost couldn't avoid learning how to 139 00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:33.319 read basic sheet music. And they gave everybody at one 140 00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:35.120 point or made us go out and buy, depending on 141 00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:38.480 how rich your school district was, these cheap ass recorders 142 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.839 so we could all play the recorder. I kid you not. 143 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:44.639 So you got a classroom full of kids playing these 144 00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:49.839 ridiculous plastic, freakin' you know whistles basically that you know, 145 00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:52.319 and we're all playing Hey Jude, by the way, because 146 00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:54.920 nobody was concerned about copyrights and stuff at that point 147 00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:57.600 in time. Literally the song the Beatles song Hey Jude, right, 148 00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:00.160 or whoever the fuck wrote that, I forget. But the 149 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.000 point is that they all had us learn basic sheet 150 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:07.360 music and do it. Okay. That was just one of 151 00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:10.879 those things that every little kid did, and they taught 152 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.519 us problem solving, which is going to apply to your 153 00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.480 situation with construction. Problem solving is something you got to 154 00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:20.319 do in construction where even if you've got a plan 155 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:22.680 and you're working according to somebody else's plan to build 156 00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:26.160 something in order to destroy things, there is an order 157 00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.160 by which you dispose of stuff, right, because I worked 158 00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:31.759 in demolition, and you didn't just go in there and 159 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:34.199 smash stuff up and make piles and shovel it away. 160 00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:37.319 You had to organize the piles of crap you pulled apart, 161 00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:40.040 and there was methodology behind the way you took it 162 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:43.439 apart in order to make it a little more manageable. 163 00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:48.399 And this was problem solving in real time, real world, okay, 164 00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:51.519 But you were taught those things and ready for this 165 00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:55.319 one a little something which was like it was reasoning 166 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.839 right where you could actually go through and reason through 167 00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:01.879 the problems. So not only did you have to come 168 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:04.639 up with creative solutions, but you had to have some 169 00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:09.279 basic understanding of the parameters there. Right. You know, a 170 00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:11.399 certain link of wood is only going to fit in 171 00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:13.480 the dumpster if you put it this way. You know 172 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:15.240 what I'm saying. You got to put this the long way. 173 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.279 You've got to put this, you know, vertically, this goes horizontally. 174 00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.000 This thing only fits, you know, you know, diagonally in 175 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:25.560 the dumpster. Let's say that's from the demolition side of things. 176 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:27.800 And all you got to do, even if you don't 177 00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:29.560 speak the same language with the rest of the guys, 178 00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:31.720 you're working with, you got to be able to communicate 179 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:34.879 at least that so you're acting in a uniform fashion 180 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:38.200 and you're all solving the problem the same way. Okay, 181 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:41.679 So all of this, the order and the hierarchy of 182 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:45.080 things is laid out. And they actually taught us that 183 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.759 stuff in school. And there was a terminology for this too, 184 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:50.799 you remember what it was where you know, you you 185 00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.559 actually had to use reasoning and you had to understand, 186 00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:56.759 like I say, some of the basics of things in 187 00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:00.159 order to work with that reasoning communicate it with others. 188 00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.360 And this would actually cause you to work together as 189 00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.440 opposed to being what these independent little cells now that 190 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.519 we're in where we get everything fed to us by 191 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.360 an algorithm and through a machine. You know, we had 192 00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:16.799 through social interactions to accomplish everything. Whether it was for 193 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:19.080 fun or if it was for profit, or if it 194 00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:22.399 was for you know, nefarious means, it didn't matter. You 195 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.559 had to work in a conspiratorial fashion, you know, in 196 00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:31.120 the most broad general you know, sort of definition of 197 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:34.720 that word to conspires to breathe together based on its 198 00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:37.320 root words, right, So you had to learn to breathe 199 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:40.080 together so that you could all move with the same 200 00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:43.960 motions or with at least similar concepts in mind. And 201 00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:48.440 all of this was a cognitive way of behaving that 202 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:51.399 was literally taught to you at one point, and they've 203 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:54.240 thrown all of that out along with you know, writing 204 00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:57.080 outside of print. You know, you barely learn how to 205 00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:59.879 print them. And you know, because they used to call 206 00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:03.559 it cursive writing, right, which was you know, in order 207 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:05.600 to make everything flow together. And it was still you know, 208 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:08.600 same letters and same language and all. But you know, 209 00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:11.159 the b looked a little different stuff. But you know 210 00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:14.200 what I'm talking about. People knew how to sign their names, 211 00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:17.519 so yeah, and that was the first thing they taught 212 00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:19.480 us how to do. Here's how to sign your freaking name, 213 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.720 which is important throughout your life, or at least was. 214 00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:25.080 But then they said, and this is how you actually 215 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:27.799 write letters, I mean, the the actual act of writing 216 00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:30.440 a letter. There was a class on this, and it 217 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:32.639 wasn't just so you whew, how to write a letter. 218 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:36.440 It was so that you understood the concept of communication 219 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:40.399 and the hierarchy of the order of communication. And then 220 00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:43.159 if you've stepped into other things like journalism, you learned about, 221 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:46.600 you know, the compression of that first paragraph where the who, what, when, where, 222 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:49.720 why and how was all contained in the first paragraph 223 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.759 in a summary fashion, and then the details would be 224 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.559 laid out afterwards, you know. And you learned these orders 225 00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:00.279 of communication, which again are out the freaking way though, 226 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:04.159 with texting, with shorting, with nobody spelling because everything has 227 00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:07.360 a spell correct on it, and you know spelling again. 228 00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:10.879 You know again, work swell ahead. 229 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:13.799 I went to don't encouragey to play games like we 230 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:15.639 used to have in school. We used to have a 231 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:17.279 computer game called Ace Detective. 232 00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:20.320 That'stle reminded me of what you're talking about. You had 233 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.639 to figure out who, what were, and why and how 234 00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:23.519 what happened? 235 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:24.360 Right? 236 00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:26.519 And it was it was a cool little game, you know, 237 00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:29.519 graphics crap because I was like early ones computers. 238 00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:33.519 But you know, very you know, they tell you to 239 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:36.559 figure things out, like you were saying, and yeah. 240 00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:39.399 I guarantee you that's just courage these days, Like no, 241 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:40.480 you all figure things out. 242 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:44.200 You're just listen to a person at the front and repeat. 243 00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:48.000 Yeah. And the other thing is is there was stuff 244 00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.519 And because I'm ten years older, you're talking about, well, 245 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:52.960 there was these computers in the eighties and nineties. Guess 246 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.360 what in the seventies and eighties, there were computers first 247 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:59.039 coming into the classroom that were finally small enough to 248 00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.039 fit into a damn class room, and the Apple. 249 00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:04.840 VORs and a black Sprain with some little green graphics 250 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:06.559 if you were lucky. 251 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:11.840 Yeah, And the thing is, you got basic games there. 252 00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.960 But those basic games that they had us play were 253 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:17.480 meant to teach us things like about how to do business. 254 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:21.600 There was a game called lemonade. Now, I know everybody's 255 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:24.960 heard of the classic, you know, nineteen fifties style thought 256 00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:27.000 of a lemonade stand, and this is how a kid, 257 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:29.759 you know, makes a twenty five cent couple lemonade and 258 00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:32.840 sells them to people and whatnot. I get it. But 259 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:35.559 the whole concept of doing business, having to know how 260 00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:38.440 many lemons you have, having to manage the weather, having 261 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:41.200 to decide how many signs to put up, how much 262 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:43.440 to charge for your lemonade, how much sugar to put 263 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:45.840 in it, and all those factors come together. Guess what, 264 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:50.519 it's fairly complex reasoning that a six year old and 265 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.279 a five year old doesn't necessarily come with it factory installed, right, 266 00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:59.840 So you know, there was something actually valuable being taught 267 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:04.200 in the school system. Now everybody blames the system, and 268 00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:06.559 I certainly blame the system. I'm one of those guys 269 00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:08.799 who is not for the system, you know, I'm all 270 00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:12.159 about the rage against the machine. But here's the thing. 271 00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:16.279 There's a responsibility that needs to be taken here because 272 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:19.399 everything that is designed to be fed to the general 273 00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:23.679 audience or to the population or the populace is all 274 00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:26.440 designed based on a couple of factors. And one of 275 00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:30.159 the biggest factors for what is fed on mass to 276 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:36.000 the population is what the population will accept. And this 277 00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:38.600 is something that's often left out of the you know, 278 00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:42.559 the bitching and moaning sort of. You know, I don't 279 00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:47.600 know industry when it comes to communication, radio shows, podcasts, whatever. 280 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:51.840 It doesn't matter your verbal communications, your your blogs, everything else. 281 00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:54.759 There's a lot of bitching and moaning. But there is 282 00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:59.320 often A, no solutions, and B. And the B is big. Okay, 283 00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:01.879 it's the big one. And it's not quite as important 284 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:03.840 as A and not quite as prominent as A, but 285 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:08.960 B is almost there. B is no responsibility taken by 286 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:11.879 those people that are part of the masses. If you 287 00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:17.120 didn't accept this crap, it would not be continued on 288 00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:21.240 mass to everybody. The reason why it continues to be 289 00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:25.480 fed year after year is because it's acceptable. And that 290 00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:27.440 doesn't mean that, you know, you have to resist every 291 00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:31.080 single thing that goes down, But if you don't offer 292 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:35.080 any sort of resistance, if you don't offer any sort 293 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:38.600 of critique, and you just let everything slide, like, oh, 294 00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:41.840 I guess that's just the way shit is. Now, guess what, 295 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:44.879 that's the way shit will be. And here's the fun part. 296 00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:47.879 Just like in a pricing situation, if you look around 297 00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:49.759 in your neighborhood and you notice that there are certain 298 00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:52.639 places that, you know, push the price points a little 299 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:57.360 further than say the general average in your region. Like 300 00:14:57.399 --> 00:15:00.399 you'll find a convenience store that's charging, you know, fifty 301 00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:03.159 cents more for a bottle of soda. There's a reason 302 00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:06.039 why they do that, and one of the biggest reasons 303 00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:08.360 a set of reasons. Actually, there's a set of reasons 304 00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:10.879 for it, but one of the big biggest reasons among 305 00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:16.519 it is because people will pay it. People will accept it. 306 00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:20.360 That's your level of acceptance when you pay that price 307 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:21.759 and you go, well, you know, I don't want to 308 00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:23.399 have to drive another mile, I don't want to have 309 00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:25.039 to go to another place. I don't want to have 310 00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:27.799 to go to a separate joint to get my you know, 311 00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:32.600 snack or whatever. When you do that, every acquiescence is 312 00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:36.799 permission granted to the system. And this is something I 313 00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:39.200 think that is often lost, and this is why I 314 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:41.799 appreciate it. I know, Jordan Maxwell's kind of pass and 315 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:44.600 boring and everything, and he is one of my friends, 316 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:47.360 which I got a recent email about, you know, people 317 00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:49.080 that were one of my friends. And of course he's 318 00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:52.200 passed away now, but I mean, yes, he became like 319 00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:54.399 the boring old man that was telling the same story 320 00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.799 over and over again to a lot of you. But 321 00:15:56.919 --> 00:15:59.200 here's the fun part about that. To me, you still 322 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:01.559 didn't listen to it lot of it. You didn't hear 323 00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:04.320 all of it. You heard the word play, you heard 324 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:07.360 the clever things that you could repeat. You heard the 325 00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:12.840 resident nature of the general ideas that did populate what 326 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:15.919 we used to call alternative media all the way through it, 327 00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:17.639 by the way, not just in the you know, the 328 00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:21.200 old days of the online broadcasters and everything, but in documentaries, 329 00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:26.279 in your blogs today, alternative thinking in general. You could 330 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.159 you know, basically trace the seeds back to Jordan's stuff. 331 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:33.360 In a lot of ways, but I'm not here to 332 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:35.799 just credit him. I already did my tribute show to 333 00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:37.720 him a couple of years ago, right after he passed. 334 00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:42.840 Point is, people still don't fully hear it. And every 335 00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:45.120 once in a while I get brand new messages from 336 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.000 people who say, you know, I heard this years ago 337 00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:51.000 and then I heard it again recently, Or they dig 338 00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:52.960 into my archives they pick up something and they go, 339 00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:55.559 I realize part of what you were saying then, but 340 00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:58.159 now I see the rest of it. I hear the 341 00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:03.559 rest of it. It's really interesting when people only take 342 00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:06.119 in what they allow themselves to hear. So, first of all, 343 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:10.000 your level of acceptance is a much wider issue than 344 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:13.559 what you just simply accept as far as poor quality 345 00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:16.440 when it comes to education or productivity or products or 346 00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:20.599 the job market, et cetera. Your acceptance is one thing, 347 00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:26.480 but your awareness and the fact that people literally, you know, 348 00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:31.279 actually censor themselves. They censor what they allow themselves to 349 00:17:31.319 --> 00:17:37.799 hear and to comprehend, because comprehension is just as big 350 00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:41.240 as being able to read. You know, I'm going back 351 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:44.759 over this, and I'm going to be rehomeschooling a kid 352 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:46.920 who's had trouble, who's a friend of my son's, and 353 00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:48.920 we're going to sit down and do this all together again. 354 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:51.599 And I'm looking at it and I'm going, Okay, there's 355 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:54.599 one level as to what this kid understands as far 356 00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:57.720 as what they can read. But there is a whole 357 00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:00.599 other missing link here that nobody buys. Buthered with the 358 00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:05.559 school system, the homeschooling, the special tutors, none of them 359 00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:09.960 worked on their comprehension. They got them to understand the words, 360 00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:12.640 but not really what the words mean. They got them 361 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.880 to understand the words together and to string them together properly, 362 00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:20.160 but not the nuances as to why that works, not 363 00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:22.079 to put it into the real world. 364 00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:25.680 So the sentence listing in mus school program was live 365 00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:28.759 because dude, like as many things as ill in school, 366 00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:30.440 a lot of them didn't get it trigted till I 367 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:34.119 was out because I couldn't like, I didn't have anything 368 00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:37.000 to relate to the find a reference, you know. 369 00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:39.160 And also. 370 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:44.599 Kind of the living version of Batista's character in the 371 00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:48.640 First Guardians of the Galaxy just took everything literal. I 372 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:51.720 was like that for many years, and people would say 373 00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:53.839 things in school are in general, and I would just 374 00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:56.599 take them completely thick and literally and then. 375 00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.599 Like years later, but oh yeah it fy a click. 376 00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:05.720 So yeah, the couple hatch of thing is very important 377 00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:08.759 because if you don't understand, if you don't have any 378 00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:12.680 formal reference I understanding, you know, could go right over 379 00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:16.359 your head or just you'd understand it too lately, you know, 380 00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:19.200 too late, like I did not have any way to 381 00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:21.319 kind of go back and look at it, or just 382 00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:24.640 not thinking because of buson doing other things. And everybody's 383 00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:29.559 in the rat race now right chet money because of 384 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:31.160 the fucking inflation and stuff. 385 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:33.599 For gowe right no, And that's the thing. The missing 386 00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:37.240 element here is the practical attachment to the real world. 387 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:39.960 Like you know, when when we started talking about the math, 388 00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:44.119 and and my my son, my youngest son is is 389 00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:49.160 very good with math concepts, no problem mathematical concepts. He 390 00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:51.720 just understands them. He understood them from the first time 391 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:53.359 I explained him to him, and they've stuck with him 392 00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:59.720 just fine. But application of those concepts is another issue. 393 00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:02.720 Like when they used to do home economics classes. I know, 394 00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:05.079 it was a big joke and you know it was like, oh, 395 00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:08.319 so we're gonna make uh you know pizza, uh you 396 00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:10.839 know this this quarter or whatever, and then they're gonna 397 00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:12.880 teach you how to make pasta array, you know, how 398 00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:13.480 to boil. 399 00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:16.640 Water or the missed that course. 400 00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:19.400 Now, well, here's the thing. There's a lot of women 401 00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:21.880
