1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,439
Speaker 1: They always teach us in radio one thought per break.

2
00:00:02,799 --> 00:00:05,000
Why can't I have a podcast it does the same thing,

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:10,599
or maybe several podcasts seventeen different subjects and walks of life.

4
00:00:11,439 --> 00:00:15,919
Ero dot net, Arie dot net, thank you so much

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,600
for supporting me over the years. Stream thinking it's learning

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,800
how to trust what is in your present place of

7
00:00:21,839 --> 00:00:24,800
all things right now. To get there is going to

8
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,519
require some practice. Here's what I do each day one

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:33,119
sheet of paper, just ten minutes, write about whatever is

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,479
moving through your present place of right now, with absolutely

11
00:00:36,799 --> 00:00:41,079
no judgment. Stream thinking will sharpen your skills as a listener,

12
00:00:41,679 --> 00:00:46,159
as a communicator, and as an activator. It's learning how

13
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,640
to trust what is in your right now. This is

14
00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:54,520
stream thinking today. We're reading from February fifteenth, twenty twenty five.

15
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,280
So often I find myself writing in the way of

16
00:00:58,359 --> 00:01:02,479
making the voice of a chrome mudgeon. Eh. But before

17
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,480
I accept such an uncomfortable self description, it would be

18
00:01:06,719 --> 00:01:10,719
very useful and wise to research what a true curmudgeon is.

19
00:01:11,359 --> 00:01:14,400
Dictionary dot com is my source of information, and it

20
00:01:14,519 --> 00:01:20,519
clearly states it's a bad tempered person, especially an old one. Really,

21
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,599
how true is that? I mean? There can be young curmudgeons.

22
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,920
Mental health experts say, uh huh, You're absolutely right. The

23
00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:32,519
young in age can carry the bad moods and behaviors

24
00:01:32,719 --> 00:01:37,400
right into the definition of a curmudgeon. Anyone can be

25
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,640
one at any age, and they all don't have to

26
00:01:40,719 --> 00:01:43,560
look the same stream thinking, which is what we're doing

27
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,879
right now is not is not the making of a curmudgeon.

28
00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:53,359
And yet I feel like that I'm that guy who's

29
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,599
bringing stuff up. Sometimes people accept it, other times people

30
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,719
do not. It's not that I'm looking at life and

31
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:04,079
I'm upset with the way that things are growing and going,

32
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,359
but rather it's like, hey, can we talk about this?

33
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,919
Can we talk about this thing that just took place,

34
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,400
like the very first AI generated number one song on

35
00:02:15,439 --> 00:02:17,639
Billboard's charts? Can we just talk about this? This is

36
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,599
not an old man who collected forty five's cassettes and

37
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,759
eight track tapes back in the nineteen seventies. This is

38
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,639
just a regular person going where are we going with this?

39
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:32,319
Because I happen to love the sounds of a Justin Bieber,

40
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:36,479
of a Taylor Swift, somebody who can take words on

41
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:42,080
a page and somehow someway create musical magic instead of

42
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,280
just typing a bunch of things into a computer and

43
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,360
it then spews all this stuff all over what Billboard

44
00:02:49,439 --> 00:02:52,800
Magazine is calling the new number one song. I'm not

45
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,960
being a curmudgeon. What about you? Do You have your

46
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,840
moments where you just say, hey, whoa hold on? Can

47
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:03,879
we just talk? We don't have to agree, but we're

48
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,879
bringing something from different sides of the face. That's why

49
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,240
I think one of the reasons why families don't get

50
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,240
along with each other as we age into adulthood is

51
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,759
because the interpretations that we had of mom and dad

52
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,360
and everybody else in the family when we were younger

53
00:03:20,039 --> 00:03:24,080
is so much different than the interpretation of where we

54
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:27,919
stand at our present day and age. And that's when

55
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,599
things begin to go ooh, you just being one of

56
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:36,520
those curmudgeons. No, no, no, I just want to say,

57
00:03:36,639 --> 00:03:41,439
can we just get along? Hi? MARYL. And that's stream thinking.
