Other things like my book Revolve Man 12 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.000 Scientific Rise to Godhood. Paperback and ebook copies are available 13 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.840 of that have the Patreon campaign which I have been 14 00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:15.799 doing live streams as part of a project of what 15 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.280 I'm calling looking for Truth in All the Wrong Places. 16 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.400 I'm working on that project over at Patreon, doing the 17 00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:29.959 live streams, looking at old alternative media DVDs primarily, and 18 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.680 I'm putting together notes at the moment for what I 19 00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:38.319 want to be a video series. Is what I was 20 00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:40.439 wondering if I should make like a single video like 21 00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.840 I did with the original age of transitions video. But 22 00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:46.599 I think it would be best just to start putting 23 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:52.760 together a series and doing them episodically. I actually this 24 00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:59.159 past week I got back into logged back into for 25 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:04.519 the first time in years, my old YouTube channel. I 26 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:08.000 still actually do have that. I deleted all the old 27 00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.879 stuff off of it. I posted the last video I posted, 28 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.159 which is the only video on it now, is me 29 00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.000 complaining about how bad YouTube was at the time, which 30 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:21.000 it was hasn't gotten really any better, but it's different 31 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.560 from the complaints I had at the time. It's now 32 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.680 different in completely or it's now horrible. It's a horrible 33 00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.240 platform still, but in completely different ways than those I 34 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:35.120 was complaining about In the one video on the I 35 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:39.080 believe the channel is ADDTV, which was the name of 36 00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.919 my cable access show I had in Columbus, Ohio. So 37 00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:46.960 I named my name is my original YouTube channel after that, 38 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:52.680 so I got got back into that. I'm thinking of 39 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.439 when I make these episodic looking for Truth in All 40 00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:58.840 the Wrong Places videos, I will post them to that 41 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:09.560 and so be looking for that in in the near 42 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:13.280 future hopefully, but for now working on the project over 43 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.560 at Patreon doing the live streams. So thank you everybody 44 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:19.960 who supports on Patreon again. You can find a link 45 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:22.680 to that at the Age of Transitions dot com. So 46 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.919 thank you everybody for your support, for sticking with me, 47 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:31.039 for your interest in the Age of Transitions, going to 48 00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:35.879 keep going here and making different projects. It's good to 49 00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:39.159 be back on the podcast, back on the live radio here. 50 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:41.840 It's been two weeks. I've been gone for two weeks, 51 00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:46.919 so apologies for being away, but I have returned. Thank 52 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.479 you for once again sticking with us here on the show. 53 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.639 So I wanted to begin the show by actually just 54 00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:02.960 telling an anecdotals story, just a story from everyday life 55 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:07.960 that believe it or not, just happened yesterday. To me. 56 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:12.599 It's not much really, but I think it's I think 57 00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.639 it's relevant to this show. So see if you agree, 58 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.160 and I'll get back to the anecdotal part of it 59 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:22.959 after I'm done telling you. So I ought to remember 60 00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:27.480 to do that. But so all this was was I 61 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.680 was at work, not very exciting, just at my regular 62 00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:35.000 old work day job. And at my work there are 63 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:43.399 several different not radios, but you know, several different music 64 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:47.480 playing stations. Right, there's music playing here, there's music playing here. 65 00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.079 There's music playing here. It's not exactly radio that people 66 00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:52.120 are listening to. You know, we're in the online age, 67 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.279 as you know, So music is coming out of speakers 68 00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:00.519 in different parts of my work, okay, and as I 69 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:05.279 move around, I'm listening to different music based on whatever 70 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:07.839 is being played by whoever's in that area. Right. So, 71 00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:16.480 earlier on in the day, at one point Born on 72 00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:22.160 the Bayou by Clear Credence Clearwater Revival was playing on 73 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:28.000 the speakers. I say, oh, okay, and so yeah, that's 74 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:35.199 I heard that song. And then the important part to 75 00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:38.040 this story that I have to explain is that when 76 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.120 I'm out and about doing my job, I am moving around. 77 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:48.759 What I don't have is my cellular phone. I'm not 78 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:50.680 allowed to have it on my person, so I don't. 79 00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:56.199 I have multiple opinions on that, but it's just work policy, 80 00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:58.759 which is it's mostly good because the hell with the phone, 81 00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:00.639 that's you know, you're better off about it. So I 82 00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.079 could care less that I don't have the phone on me, 83 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:05.079 but I'm not. I can't. I can't have it, so 84 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:09.040 I don't. So there's no phone on me. There's no surveillance, 85 00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:14.079 personalized surveillance, device on my person as I move around 86 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:20.480 doing my job, right, so anyway me phone less moving 87 00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:25.639 around work, Yes, I do move quite a bit. I 88 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.680 it's one point early in the day here Born on 89 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.000 the Bayo. I'm sure you're aware of that song. Everybody 90 00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:36.360 knows that one, right. And then later in the day 91 00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:40.639 I'm walking around once again phoneless. Is just sort of 92 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:45.720 out in the middle of nowhere, no listening devices around 93 00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:52.800 me that I'm aware of. And I say out loud 94 00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:57.279 because sometimes crazy guy talks to himself, I say out loud, 95 00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:01.079 not in my head, and I say, born on the Bayou, 96 00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:05.279 my ass more like born in the San Francisco bay area, 97 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:10.240 because you know, John Fogerty isn't from the damn Bayou. 98 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.399 He's from the bay area. He's up by like San Francisco. 99 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:15.240 He's born raised there. I think he still lives there. 100 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.560 He doesn't have anything to do with a bayou. I 101 00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:20.319 don't know if he's ever been to a bayou. Maybe 102 00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:23.079 he's been there on the occasion, but he's sure as 103 00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.560 hell was not born on it, you know. So I 104 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:27.560 was said there like goofing on that, like born on 105 00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:31.279 the bayou? Uh huh? So I said that out loud again, 106 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.480 I'm in insane person. Don't worry, nobody was around. I 107 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.959 was truly talking to myself. A lot of space at work, 108 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:41.639 a lot a lot of empty space, so sometimes I 109 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:45.120 have a lot of room to you know, a lot 110 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:48.160 of elbow room, is what I got. So they're talking 111 00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:52.079 to myself a commentary on Born on the Bayou, which 112 00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:54.759 had played hours ago at this point, if my memory 113 00:07:54.879 --> 00:08:00.480 is correct, and it may not be, but anyway, that 114 00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:04.560 was work. I did that, among other things. I come 115 00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:08.800 home later that night, and at this point, guess what 116 00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.800 I have again? I have my phone. I'm allowed to 117 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.000 have my phone again, and foolishly I have it. I 118 00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.240 probably shouldn't. I probably should just keep my work policy 119 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:21.240 going in my personal life, but I'm so stupid I don't. 120 00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:24.519 I'm like, yeah, let's use this thing and pretend it's 121 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:27.439 good for me, Pretend that it actually serves some sort 122 00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:32.200 of purpose other than once again surveilling me completely and 123 00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:37.519 mind controlling me and making my life actually worse, not better, 124 00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:44.720 serving me up the day's latest propaganda from our tech 125 00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:54.200 overlords who own the entire thing. But anyway, I had 126 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:58.799 my phone at home and I fire up TikTok because 127 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.679 I do have the call TikTok account. I run it, 128 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:04.360 and from time to time I just open up uh 129 00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.360 TikTok and watch the videos on there. I believe it 130 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:09.879 helps the algorithm out, should help the old uncle TikTok 131 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.120 out by me just watching videos. So I have my 132 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:17.600 phone at home relaxing, I think on the couch, Uh 133 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:24.159 open up TikTok. What's the first video that plays on TikTok. Well, 134 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.360 it happens to be a video of none other than 135 00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:31.759 John Fogerty. And what is he doing. Oh, he's being 136 00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:34.480 interviewed on something like Inside the Accurate Studio, like a 137 00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.679 show like that, but you know, from music or something. 138 00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.440 But anyway, what are they asking about? Oh, they're asking 139 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:45.039 him about why he's always singing about the Buyo, Like 140 00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:46.960 why is it that you sing about the Bayou? What 141 00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.559 is that he's going? Oh, I don't really know. And 142 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.440 it's like, actually, you know all the great old musicians 143 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:56.559 like led Billy, they all came from the Bayou. So 144 00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:59.399 that probably got an influence on me because I'd influenced 145 00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:03.240 my music viously moh blah blah blah. So so there 146 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:08.120 it is. That's my story. And in case you missed it, 147 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:15.639 there's a lot to unpack with this one because what 148 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:20.720 this is is, as far as I can see, there's 149 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:29.440 two options for what's going on in this story. One 150 00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:33.960 one it's a genuine reach. They do occur, they are 151 00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:41.320 there are such things. It's an interesting phenomenon. It's either 152 00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:49.120 that or what I'm sort of leaning towards because nowadays 153 00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:52.600 I can't help but do this. It's an artificial synchronicity, 154 00:10:55.519 --> 00:11:02.080 which would be uh seeing is how this is all 155 00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:07.960 the synchronicity happens on my uh digital device. It would 156 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:13.799 make sense sense that it was a product of the 157 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:17.080 device spun on me and serving that what I fed 158 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:24.840 into it. In put Apple that are wireless devices, are 159 00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:29.320 mobile devices have the microphones, and the microphones are always on. 160 00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:46.000 They're always listening to us thing that where you saying 161 00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:52.240 because the microphone there's so many differs. It is happening 162 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:54.840 to them, so you can't these things aren't doing that. 163 00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:59.240 It's been over a decade where they have been denying it. 164 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:05.440 This happening. This being the use of the microphones to 165 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:08.519 collect the data on what we're saying, so that they 166 00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:12.519 use that as just more of their data sets on us, 167 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.919 which they used to target ads, among other things, just 168 00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:20.320 more of the private data we're giving them on ourselves. 169 00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:21.240 Now. 170 00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:25.600 They've been denying that I and as far as I 171 00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:29.759 know and can remember, they're still denying that. It may 172 00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:35.279 be that I'm behind on that, and some company or 173 00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:39.159 person or industry insider has come forward and said, yeah, 174 00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:41.399 we do that, Yeah we've been doing that. But as 175 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.799 far as I know know, that hasn't happened yet. Be 176 00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:46.879 that as it may, we damn well know it is 177 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:52.440 happening because we're not stupid. We're not fricking morons as 178 00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:58.240 we're treated. We're treated like absolute stupid idiots. And I 179 00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:01.480 for one, am sick of it. I know you're listening 180 00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:06.639 to me. Now, go to hell, you freaking bastard zeah 181 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.799 bastard bastards. I hate you. I hate what you're doing. 182 00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:15.480 I know you can hear this. Go straight to hell 183 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:20.559 where you came from. All right, you might think this 184 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:26.360 is funny me trying to figure out natural versus artificial synchronicity. 185 00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:29.559 I truly don't know. I'm trying to work this out. 186 00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:31.679 I know it's one of them, and I'm leaning on 187 00:13:32.519 --> 00:13:41.240 the synthetic. The synthetic synchronicity, not natural artificial. That's I 188 00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:45.919 believe what's happening, because that's once again I default to 189 00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:51.480 that in this digital age of total surveillance. So I mean, 190 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:56.480 the question is, and it's a good one. If it 191 00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:03.559 is synthetic artificial synchronousy that happened to me, what the 192 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:08.840 hell enabled it? Like I said, I did not have 193 00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:11.799 my phone. It was not within earshot. My phone was 194 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:14.440 far enough away that it did not hear me. It 195 00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:16.399 could not hear me. The microphone could not hear me. 196 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:20.080 It was far away. I was a completely different area, 197 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:25.320 So my phone wasn't there. I wasn't even around a 198 00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:28.879 coworker that had a phone. As far as I know, 199 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:34.600 I don't think somebody set a phone down somewhere. But 200 00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:40.879 I don't think so. I don't know. I mean, there 201 00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:47.759 are different machines at work, but to think that they 202 00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:53.080 are part of this same thing that paps into the 203 00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:59.279 social media system would be a stretch, quite frankly, So 204 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:02.879 I wouldn't think they would be doing anything. I wouldn't think. 205 00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:08.639 I don't know. Uh So, there's just a lot of 206 00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:15.399 questions that arise with this. May now maybe my memory. 207 00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:18.759 M hm hm. 208 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:23.799 Hm hm hm. 209 00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:28.639 It's not sound I drive home or something. Maybe I'm 210 00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:32.679 just for every stupid little detail of your day. But 211 00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:35.000 as I remember, I just said it earlier in today, 212 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.519 So I don't know. Okay, but. 213 00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:43.279 I don't know. 214 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:47.639 I just once again, this is an anecdotal story. It's 215 00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:50.799 just a boring story. It's another boring day in the 216 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:56.720 life of me made it's somewhat interesting in the horrifying 217 00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:01.240 ramifications of the digital hell we live in, because that's 218 00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:03.039 what I like to talk about on this show. It's 219 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:06.440 so much fun. I can't help myself, but do it. 220 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:09.600 This is the age of transitions, everybody. It's time to 221 00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:15.879 start thinking about what all this stuff is, what this 222 00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:21.159 all means, where we can what's happening, and how this 223 00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:26.360 whole uh, how this all works. Trying to get that 224 00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:28.480 at that with this, I mean, I'm not gonna I'm 225 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:30.240 not gonna do it. I'm not gonna fully unpack this. 226 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:35.279 I'm not gonna figure it out. But that's okay. But 227 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:40.600 it's an anecdotal story, and because it is, I couldn't 228 00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:44.759 figure anything out from it anyway. Is the sort of 229 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:48.919 I'm not sure if every anybody's familiar with that sort 230 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:57.559 of generalized piece of none knowledge that we're all supposed 231 00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:02.840 to believe. But I know I've heard this that anything 232 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:06.960 that's an dotally you tell, an anecdotal story, you tell 233 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:09.119 like a little story about your life, like I just did. 234 00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:15.319 You're not supposed to read too much into it because 235 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:28.880 you know your your evidence gathered there mm hmm mm 236 00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:32.839 hmm is going to be limited. It's not you're not 237 00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:36.039 running a scientifical experiment. I maybe I'm the drive home. 238 00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:39.920 I don't remember so, yes, So there are problems, the 239 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:43.400 main one being my damn memory. It's just getting worse 240 00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:51.759 all the time, right, but h But regardless, even with 241 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:56.039 the flaws of this, the flaws of our memory, the 242 00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:01.920 flaws of the stories that we tell ourselves about our lives, 243 00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:07.880 which are always we're always gonna Unless you have some 244 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:16.160 sort of photographic memory, and some people do, you shouldn't 245 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:21.000 trust anecdotal stories. You shouldn't trust. And the thing that 246 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:25.960 I get out of this, this generalized piece of knowledge 247 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:28.200 that we're all just supposed to believe, is the way 248 00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:35.039 it seems it's presented. The thing about it is we're 249 00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:38.480 not supposed to trust ourselves. And then if we're getting 250 00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:40.720 back to like the concept that there actually could be 251 00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:45.960 a natural form of synchronicity, forget that that's completely bunk. 252 00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:50.960 You're just totally out of your mind if you're trying 253 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:55.599 to buy into something like that. So don't. And I'm 254 00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:59.920 sorry to me. This just feeds back into the nine 255 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:10.960 sick defeatist mindset that's forced onto us from birth in 256 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:16.920 this depressing world where we live our lives and instead 257 00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:19.519 of being able to observe things and learn from what 258 00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:23.039 we do on a daily basis, and even with simple things, 259 00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:26.759 it's almost as though we're being encouraged not to believe 260 00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:30.359 our own eyes first of all, but also just like, 261 00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:33.359 don't even try. Don't try to figure anything out, because 262 00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:36.759 you've gotta be wrong. You're a dumb moron. So know 263 00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:40.640 your place and just get back to work without your 264 00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:45.960 phone and shut up, because that's what you're meant to do. No, 265 00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:48.680 of course, your phone's not listening to you, because all 266 00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:52.720 you got is stupid anecdotal stories. Oh you were talking 267 00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:57.200 about cats and then you opened up MySpace and a 268 00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:03.119 kitty cat toy ad popped up. Well, guess what, that's 269 00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:08.839 probably just coincidence. You so don't believe anything other than that? 270 00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:14.440 What are you an idiot? So I think you get 271 00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:19.400 my point here. We're demoralized at every damn turn. We're 272 00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:24.519 not supposed to investigate. We're not supposed to think, because 273 00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:27.359 I guess we can't. We're just not allowed for one thing, 274 00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:33.240 even if we did. We're not scientists running an experiment 275 00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:37.400 with our lives. So it makes it useless because our 276 00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.200 lives aren't an experiment. Oh but maybe they are an experiment. 277 00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:50.400 Maybe we are being experimented on by scientists. Literally, no, 278 00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:54.799 it's not us. But since since you put things in 279 00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:59.000 this way, why don't I flip the thing around and say, Okay, 280 00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:02.160 since I'm so dumb and I'm not doing the scientific 281 00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:06.279 experiment on yourself, how about you share your findings on 282 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:10.319 me and my entire life. How about that so that 283 00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:14.799 I can learn what you've learned about me? How is 284 00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:20.640 that reasonable? I might learn a whole lot out of 285 00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:26.640 this controlled experiment that you're doing on me and the 286 00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:30.079 whole of the entire world. This is not a personal thing. 287 00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:33.920 This is well, it is personal for every single person 288 00:21:34.640 --> 00:21:38.640 who exists has their own you know, file or whatever 289 00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:44.079 you want to call it, and so you know, why 290 00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:46.920 not flip it around on them. If they're going to 291 00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:51.200 demoralize us and say that we can't figure out our 292 00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:53.640 own lives and figure out what's happening and figure out 293 00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:57.119 what's being done to us, fine, you go ahead and 294 00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:03.359 you tell me be what you the bastion of being forthcoming. 295 00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:05.839 Just lay it all out there, because I know that's 296 00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:08.240 what you always do. You just you just lay everything 297 00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:11.160 that you're doing out there on the table. Just you 298 00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:19.519 just plain and simple. We live in the UH in 299 00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:23.680 an age of total a total open society, which is 300 00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:32.519 where everybody knows everything. Everything is just so transparent. We 301 00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:37.079 have transparent leadership everywhere we look. The truth is just 302 00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:42.240 being told on every UH, from every microphone, from the 303 00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:47.559 highest heights of power. Those who are in charge just 304 00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:49.759 are are are just chomping at the bit to tell 305 00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:53.759 us the truth about everything. So it's just real, it's 306 00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:56.279 real inspiring to be living in times like this. It's 307 00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:59.559 it's exciting to be here for all of this, for 308 00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:03.920 these social experiments being run twenty four hours a day, 309 00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:09.000 seven days a week, at all times, being fueled by 310 00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:16.880 big data collection, collecting data on us constantly which will 311 00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:20.759 be used to This is what the AI revolution is. 312 00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:24.039 It's just gathering more and more and more and more data, 313 00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:27.599 feeding it into these AI systems so that they as 314 00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:32.960 the AI gets better, it's just organizing this data which 315 00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:38.759 is constantly being taken in, organizing it better, being able 316 00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:40.519 to use it, and the systems are going to be 317 00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:45.480 better at you know, siphening through it and using it 318 00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:48.920 against us. That's what the whole AI thing is. That's 319 00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:52.599 what's working out at present. That's what's been happening the 320 00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:57.160 whole time. But you know that's real boring, so let's 321 00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:04.119 just skip on that altogether. Anecdotal story is useless. What's 322 00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:09.519 fascinating is, Yes, I was saying, how demoralizing this just 323 00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:16.039 general attitude is. However, there is I guess silver lining 324 00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:19.359 on it. If we actually are given to believe that 325 00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:23.599 we shouldn't trust ourselves or trust our investigations in anything, 326 00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:28.720 I mean there is there is some sad truth in 327 00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:36.960 that people collectively now are starting to do their own research, 328 00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:43.599 as they say, in the same sense that we know 329 00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:49.960 of here in the alternative conspiracy culture community, in this 330 00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:55.759 sort of fringe world that gave birth the alternative media 331 00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:58.400 that gave birth to the truth movement so many years ago. 332 00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:00.920 Now we're getting into the same ti territory that looking 333 00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:04.599 for truth in all the wrong places is all about 334 00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:07.039 what I'm working on, my project that I'm working on, 335 00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:11.799 This is the space that it exists, within the space 336 00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:16.680 of the dead and dying remnants of what once was 337 00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:20.240 an alternative media, what once was a truth movement, what 338 00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:28.000 once was at least a sliver of useful conspiracy culture, 339 00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:30.279 something where you a place where you could go to 340 00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:35.599 do your own research, to look into things, to question 341 00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:43.160 not just reality, but question authority, do free thinking, and 342 00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:47.720 do actual research if you have the time and there 343 00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:50.880 are resources online to do some research. Yes, I know 344 00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:56.000 everybody shoots it down like it's useless, but there is 345 00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:57.960 stuff to be found there, and you can also go 346 00:25:58.119 --> 00:26:01.640 other places if you really get inspired offline, which is great, 347 00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:08.519 do actual research in the offline world. That would be wonderful. 348 00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:16.480 But what, in a roundabout sense I'm trying to get 349 00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:20.640 out here is that we who were interested in that 350 00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:29.119 so many years ago. I count myself among that crowd, 351 00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:36.480 that community, if there ever was one. But for me 352 00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:41.960 now I'm speaking personally for myself. I've become more than 353 00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:48.279 disillusioned with that whole scene, to the extent that I 354 00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:51.680 think that the whole thing has done more harm than good. 355 00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:58.759 And I know, I absolutely know that conspiracy culture and 356 00:26:58.960 --> 00:27:06.799 all of these alternative facts, that whole thing has been used. 357 00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:11.480 It has been weaponized against us, and not When I 358 00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:14.160 say us, I don't just mean the people that were 359 00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:16.880 interested in this years ago, which was a fringe group 360 00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:22.759 of like it was definitely an outsider thing, not the 361 00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:27.519 typical person not interested. Okay, the normies so to speak, 362 00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:34.079 were staying far away from this stuff. What's fascinating is 363 00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:38.559 that none of this has gone away. If anything, it 364 00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:44.720 has ballooned. It has taken over Internet, not just information 365 00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:48.839 from conspiracy culture, which is replete on all sorts of 366 00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:53.960 message boards and different things that were mainstreamed. I think QAnon. 367 00:27:55.240 --> 00:28:00.240 QAnon was like a mainstreaming of every conspiracy concept, every 368 00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:05.160 conspiracy thing you've ever heard, any story, any idea, any 369 00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:09.079 of the cast of characters, any of the sordid topics 370 00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:14.880 from that world which is dumped into QAnon and just 371 00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:19.920 mixed up and used for what, well, as far as 372 00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:23.799 I can tell, is use to elect a moronic president 373 00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:33.599 who was a formerly reality TV show host and it worked. Wow, 374 00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:40.359 that was really something. So that's but QAnon. I shouldn't 375 00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:43.640 just pick on QAnon and Mega and all that stuff. 376 00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:47.960 That's just one example of what is now a much 377 00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:53.119 larger picture. It's not only Mega, it's not only the 378 00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:58.200 right wing side of the equation. It is the left 379 00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:03.160 wing too. It's it's everybody. Anybody who is online, anybody 380 00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:05.039 who is on social media. Do you know any of 381 00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:09.279 those people? You know? Anybody like this, anybody who is 382 00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:15.039 doing that is now subject to all of this. Once again, 383 00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:22.200 the logic of conspiracy, the arising the general stories of 384 00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:25.000 let's come up with the general story we've probably heard before. 385 00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:29.799 The world is run by a satanic elite pedophile ring 386 00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:38.920 that controls us by stay in power and they own 387 00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:42.079 everything and you can't stop them, but we're going to 388 00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:44.799 stop them. And this is how ever, hear anything like 389 00:29:44.880 --> 00:29:48.200 this before? Oh, yeah, of course you have, because everybody has. 390 00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:51.920 Everybody's heard this. I'm not just saying this to complain that, like, oh, 391 00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:55.480 conspiracy's culture was stolen by the normies. It's not that 392 00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:01.079 I'm at the point where, once again I know that 393 00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:09.599 this stuff has been weaponized, weaponized for multiple purposes, for 394 00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:17.039 multiple ends. And as that has happened, and as technology 395 00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:23.039 continues to develop, continue to get better. I mean in 396 00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:27.039 many ways it has gotten worse. And lots of things 397 00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:30.279 about this will make you go like, is technology really 398 00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:33.039 getting better? Things just getting worse? And in ways it 399 00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:38.039 is getting worse. But the advancements that they need to 400 00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:44.400 occur in order to surveil and control us better are 401 00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:48.640
