INSOMNIA STREAM： TROUBLESHOOTING EDITION 1.mp3

00:00:00 Right.
00:07:47 All together.
00:07:51 45 minutes.
00:09:55 There we are.
00:09:56 OK.
00:09:57 Happy New Year everyone.
00:10:00 Happy 2022.
00:10:06 I guess.
00:10:08 So tonight's stream is is gonna. It's not going to be like everyone else's stream where they're they're. Oh, let's predict what's going to happen in 2022.
00:10:17 Let's make predictions. Let's go over what happened in 2021. Let's do all that fun stuff.
00:10:25 Because does anyone actually like that anyway? Does anyone actually think they can predict 2022? Did we? Did anyone predict 2021? I guess there's that video going around of that woman that did predict 2020 or 2020.
00:10:40 Where she was talking about the pandemic coming and and and.
00:10:43 Yeah, I wish I had download that.
00:10:44 Maybe I'll try to track that down.
00:10:46 I'm sure a lot of you guys have seen that by now.
00:10:49 I think.
00:10:50 I think Dave Cohen played that on his Odyssey Channel.
00:10:55 But anyway, it's going to be a little bit different.
00:10:58 In fact this is.
00:10:58 Going to be one of the more important streams.
00:11:02 I've ever done.
00:11:04 To a very structured.
00:11:06 It's going to be filled with lots of information.
00:11:10 Lots of.
00:11:13 Well, I mean it, it's something that needs to be talked about.
00:11:18 It's something that needs to be considered.
00:11:23 And it's something that.
00:11:25 Needs my logo in the corner.
00:11:27 There we go.
00:11:27 Oh, that's not the.
00:11:28 Right. One uh, whatever.
00:11:30 That's that's interesting.
00:11:32 Now I've got a cube and a sphere.
00:11:36 OK, whatever.
00:11:37 Hopefully that's not too.
00:11:41 I forgot that that was.
00:11:42 Loaded there. Whatever who cares?
00:11:45 Anyway, I missed you guys.
00:11:47 It's been a long time.
00:11:48 It seems like it's been a long time.
00:11:51 I'm well rested now.
00:11:54 I had a productive time off.
00:11:59 Did a lot of painting.
00:12:02 In fact I've.
00:12:02 Got painting or paint all over me right now, including in my hair.
00:12:09 I was painting a ceiling.
00:12:11 And then I was going up a ladder to do something to a ceiling thing and planted my my head directly into some wet paint.
00:12:21 So that's fun.
00:12:23 But anyway, without further ado.
00:12:27 Let's launch right into it.
00:12:29 I was going to make some graphics and stuff, and then because I haven't been, I've been sleeping differently.
00:12:33 I've been sleeping like a normal person or at.
00:12:35 Least attempting to.
00:12:37 I took a nap and then I.
00:12:39 Woke up and I was like oh.
00:12:40 Damn it, trying to make.
00:12:42 The the graphics things.
00:12:43 Are they're not really super important?
00:12:44 I was just going to.
00:12:45 I was gonna make like fancy little PowerPoint type titles and stuff like that, but I feel like most people listen to this anyway.
00:12:55 You don't need to have text on the screen.
00:12:57 It's OK, we're fine.
00:13:00 But as the the name of the stream.
00:13:07 This is the troubleshooting.
00:13:13 The troubleshooting.
00:13:18 Now what I mean by troubleshooting.
00:13:23 Is fixing complex systems hands on?
00:13:29 Fixing complex systems.
00:13:33 Now that could be.
00:13:35 Fixing the wiring in your house.
00:13:38 That could be fixing an old computer.
00:13:43 That could be fixing a car engine.
00:13:48 That could be fixing as as I do an old radio.
00:13:55 But it's hands on.
00:13:58 Troubleshooting looking for faults.
00:14:02 In a complex system, repairing those faults.
00:14:07 And getting that system operable.
00:14:11 On, you know, in the real world.
00:14:15 And the reason why doing something like that in your life as often as possible.
00:14:21 Is very important.
00:14:24 Is it exercises a totally different part of your brain than just academically understanding that system?
00:14:33 You never really understand a system.
00:14:36 Until you have hands on experience.
00:14:40 With that system.
00:14:42 So as an example, imagine reading a book.
00:14:47 Or 10 books.
00:14:49 About how to fly an airplane.
00:14:54 And then expecting to be able to just walk out onto a tarmac, climbing into an airplane.
00:15:00 And then just fly off and landing it safely.
00:15:04 On the first try.
00:15:07 Or imagine memorizing all of the different parts.
00:15:12 Of an airplane engine.
00:15:15 And then thinking.
00:15:17 If your airplane engine had a problem.
00:15:20 You'd be able to just pop open the hood or whatever it would be called.
00:15:24 I don't even.
00:15:24 Know an airplane?
00:15:27 And fixing it because you've memorized all the parts.
00:15:31 You know where all the parts are.
00:15:36 But it's important.
00:15:37 To learn to operate and repair these complex systems.
00:15:43 Because nothing works.
00:15:48 Nothing works.
00:15:50 Like it's supposed to work in theory.
00:15:55 Even if you were to sit in a flight simulator.
00:15:59 And log lots of hours while.
00:16:01 That would be better.
00:16:04 Simulations have finite.
00:16:07 And predefined parameters.
00:16:10 They can't possibly substitute.
00:16:14 The amount of parameters that are in real life.
00:16:19 That's why computer modeling is wrong all the time.
00:16:25 That's why computer modeling can never predict the weather.
00:16:28 Where I'm at.
00:16:29 Just as an example.
00:16:31 When I look to see the weather forecast.
00:16:35 Especially when it's trying to forecast rain.
00:16:39 The computer predictions are always wrong, always wrong.
00:16:44 Sometimes not even close.
00:16:48 Because that's simply.
00:16:51 It's too many.
00:16:56 For a computer model to accurately predict.
00:16:59 What is actually going to happen with the weather?
00:17:04 Way too many variables.
00:17:08 And the same thing.
00:17:09 Is is would be true of a.
00:17:11 Of a flight simulator.
00:17:13 Or any kind of simulation.
00:17:18 Now this is a problem with, I think a lot of people trying to figure out what's going on and predict things like what's going to happen in 2022.
00:17:29 There are way too many variables.
00:17:32 But on top of that?
00:17:35 There's a lot of people.
00:17:38 That just simply.
00:17:41 Don't have hands on experience.
00:17:47 They have an intellectual.
00:17:52 Of things.
00:17:54 But first of all, that's.
00:17:55 Always going to be limited.
00:17:57 No one knows everything.
00:18:00 But second of all, even if you did.
00:18:04 While that might help you predict what's going to happen.
00:18:08 You would never be able to actually.
00:18:11 Factor in every single variable that exists.
00:18:17 And look, these stereotypes exist for a reason.
00:18:19 The stereotype of, say, the the scientist.
00:18:25 Right. Or the professor?
00:18:29 Or the philosopher.
00:18:34 The highly intellectualized individual.
00:18:39 Who can think?
00:18:41 Big picture, abstract ideas.
00:18:46 And they are very high IQ people.
00:18:50 And they're able to have very interesting.
00:18:53 And very deep thoughts.
00:18:59 Very sophisticated thinking.
00:19:03 But then they say can't drive a car.
00:19:07 Or can't fix their car.
00:19:13 They're these high IQ very highly.
00:19:18 Intelligent people.
00:19:21 But they because they operate intellectually, they operate.
00:19:27 Only in the theoretical.
00:19:31 Only in.
00:19:34 What, what some of us might call the realm of book smarts.
00:19:40 They're terrible at real world application.
00:19:46 You know what?
00:19:46 What's the?
00:19:47 There's a saying.
00:19:49 Those who can't do, teach.
00:19:55 Because it's two totally different things.
00:20:01 I remember when I was working as a computer technician many years ago.
00:20:07 I was always shocked.
00:20:10 And I mean that because I was like, yeah, when I started doing this kind of work, I was, like 17 years old.
00:20:14 Actually, I was a little bit younger, but when I was.
00:20:16 Really doing it, I would say 17 years old.
00:20:20 And you'd have college professors.
00:20:24 With PhDs sometimes in computer related fields.
00:20:29 Or engineering fields.
00:20:32 And they would bring in your their PC to be repaired.
00:20:37 And they'd have.
00:20:39 An astounding lack of knowledge.
00:20:44 On how the computer actually worked, they would bring it in for the simplest error messages.
00:20:55 And just some punk 17 year old kid.
00:21:00 Would spend 1520 minutes on it.
00:21:04 Charge them for a full hour, which was not cheap.
00:21:08 And then send them on their way.
00:21:13 And this was a reoccurring thing.
00:21:17 All throughout my career.
00:21:20 I I was often the de facto tech.
00:21:23 At the companies I worked for.
00:21:26 Because I understood the systems and that was my background that I could, I could fix a.
00:21:30 Lot of these systems.
00:21:32 And time and time again, I was always like, surprised.
00:21:37 Like you're you're like the the head of this department.
00:21:43 That's extremely technically oriented and you don't know.
00:21:48 What I mean when I say partition a hard drive?
00:21:55 And I remember thinking at the time because I was trying to square this, I was trying to come up with.
00:21:59 I was trying to think like well.
00:22:01 Maybe it's because everyone's so highly specialized.
00:22:06 You know, this guy is a.
00:22:08 Coder he programs, he writes code all day.
00:22:14 How is he supposed to know about video cards?
00:22:17 You know, the hardware side of things.
00:22:19 How is he supposed to know about drivers?
00:22:25 But that doesn't make any sense.
00:22:32 His his computer is the tool that he uses to do.
00:22:35 His job.
00:22:40 And you could even extend this to other.
00:22:41 Things you could say.
00:22:43 You know, why don't.
00:22:44 Why doesn't the average person who drives to work every day, the average person who sits in traffic?
00:22:51 Sometimes on their commute for hours a day.
00:22:55 They don't understand.
00:22:58 The complex system that is their engine.
00:23:02 That is their car.
00:23:05 Well, that has.
00:23:05 Nothing to do with their job, Devin.
00:23:09 It has everything to do with their job.
00:23:10 It's how they get to their job every single day.
00:23:19 And that is because of the problem.
00:23:22 That I have named the Magic box.
00:23:31 Lots of people suffer.
00:23:34 From the Magic box syndrome.
00:23:41 How many zoomers?
00:23:45 Grew up using.
00:23:48 Phones or tablets with touch screens.
00:23:55 And they might be very good at at operating these.
00:23:59 Phones and these touch screens.
00:24:05 But out of the percentage of those, excuse me, that are.
00:24:08 Good at operating these devices.
00:24:11 How many of them actually understand what's going on on the other side of that screen, and how many of them just view it as a magic box?
00:24:24 It's just a magic box.
00:24:30 I do this and this happens.
00:24:34 I don't know why that happens.
00:24:36 I don't know how that happens.
00:24:40 But I've been using this magic box for years and I've memorized some steps.
00:24:46 And I know that when I do this, this happens and that's the end of it.
00:24:52 I know when I sit in my car.
00:24:55 And I turn the key.
00:24:58 The engine go vroom vroom.
00:25:05 It's just a magic box.
00:25:12 And the magic box can be the car that you get into.
00:25:17 The Magic box can be an airplane that you're sitting in.
00:25:22 Your phone or the magic box?
00:25:26 Can be the government?
00:25:29 That you obey.
00:25:37 You see lack of understanding of how this complex system works, how this machine works.
00:25:45 No matter how many books you've read about it, I mean a lack of really understanding how it actually.
00:25:50 Real world works.
00:25:54 It makes you a slave.
00:25:56 To the magic box.
00:26:00 If you don't know how your car works.
00:26:04 You're a slave.
00:26:07 To those that do.
00:26:11 If you don't know how your your magic box that is your phone works, you're a slave.
00:26:18 To those that do.
00:26:22 Not understanding these complex systems and how they work, and I mean really understanding them.
00:26:29 Makes you a slave, and the more magic boxes you have in your life, the more of a slave.
00:26:36 You are.
00:26:39 And look, power has known this for a long time.
00:26:41 I mean there it's cliche, right?
00:26:43 Knowledge is power.
00:26:46 But just think of it, there the churches used to only.
00:26:51 Only operate in in Latin because the average man.
00:26:55 Wouldn't know Latin.
00:26:58 Therefore making religion.
00:27:02 A magic box.
00:27:05 And you were a slave.
00:27:07 To those who did know Latin.
00:27:11 You just had to trust them.
00:27:21 There's lots of benefits of learning how to repair.
00:27:25 Had a troubleshoot.
00:27:27 Complex systems.
00:27:31 And again, this could be anything but it.
00:27:32 Should be everything.
00:27:34 It shouldn't just be limited to, oh, I'm going.
00:27:37 To have a hobby.
00:27:39 I'm going to fix old AM radios or I'm going to fix old computers or I'm going to restore old, you know, gaming machines or pinball machines.
00:27:49 Or or cars or whatever.
00:27:52 All these are all good things to to.
00:27:55 To practice troubleshooting on.
00:28:01 You should try to eliminate as many magic.
00:28:04 Boxes in your life as.
00:28:06 Possible now that does.
00:28:07 That's not to say.
00:28:09 That you need to be fixing every single thing.
00:28:12 That breaks.
00:28:18 It doesn't mean you have to always be doing all the work.
00:28:21 I think you have to do the work.
00:28:22 Enough to.
00:28:22 Understand it but.
00:28:24 Then you can offload it to other people.
00:28:25 Once you have a good understanding, it's it's like you just use the car as an example.
00:28:30 If you understand how an engine works.
00:28:35 And you, let's say you're your transmission goes out.
00:28:41 And you under it's because.
00:28:43 It's not this magic box.
00:28:46 You know, oh, the transmission's out.
00:28:48 That's a lot of Labor that takes a lot of time to swap out.
00:28:55 I'm not advocating that.
00:28:57 You must replace your own transmission.
00:29:02 But if you take it.
00:29:03 To a mechanic.
00:29:05 You know what's involved?
00:29:09 You understand how long it should take.
00:29:13 You understand what parts are required.
00:29:18 So yes, certainly it's OK.
00:29:21 For them to conduct the work, if you don't have time to fix every little thing that breaks in your life, I know I'm.
00:29:27 I feel like I don't have time.
00:29:28 There's there's so many broken magic boxes in my life.
00:29:32 It's getting frustrating.
00:29:38 But you should know through experience, not just through reading.
00:29:44 The manual.
00:29:50 You should know.
00:29:52 By troubleshooting problems yourself.
00:29:56 And gaining knowledge of the system through hands on experience.
00:30:05 How that system works?
00:30:11 So we're going to go through a few things.
00:30:15 That you will learn by defeating the magic boxes.
00:30:21 In your life.
00:30:25 First of all, it forces you to understand.
00:30:28 The value of research reading the manual is not worthless.
00:30:36 In fact, it's probably crucial.
00:30:42 That's just not the end of it.
00:30:46 It forces you to understand the value of research.
00:30:52 And the value of preparing.
00:30:55 For that hands on experience.
00:30:59 By researching.
00:31:04 But it also teaches you that a lot of times.
00:31:09 And this is what this is where you start to learn.
00:31:11 That the research is inadequate.
00:31:13 A lot of times things aren't even are not documented.
00:31:21 You might have an old radio that you're trying to fix and a schematic does not exist.
00:31:27 Or a car might have a problem.
00:31:30 And there's no service manual that describes this problem, because the problem took 50 years to happen.
00:31:40 And so no service manual thought it was necessary to document a problem that didn't exist.
00:31:57 And then the other problem you might discover, and you oftentimes do.
00:32:03 Sometimes the documentation.
00:32:06 Is just wrong.
00:32:13 You might be working on a.
00:32:14 Car or an old computer?
00:32:18 And the documentation will say we'll just say in the case of a computer, click this and then go to this screen and then click that.
00:32:28 And see you click this and then go to that screen and then there is no that.
00:32:33 The button the documentation is telling the click doesn't even exist.
00:32:42 Then you would.
00:32:43 Have you would not have known that.
00:32:45 Had you just read the book you.
00:32:46 Would think you were an expert.
00:32:47 Oh, I'm an expert.
00:32:50 I read the manual.
00:32:53 I am now an expert.
00:32:59 But it's not until you actually.
00:33:01 Try to apply that knowledge in the real world that you realize oh wow.
00:33:07 Manuals wrong.
00:33:11 The manuals are often wrong.
00:33:15 In fact, sometimes the manuals are so wrong.
00:33:20 If you follow.
00:33:22 The advice and the manual.
00:33:24 You can create even more problems in the system.
00:33:29 You can do damage.
00:33:31 To the system.
00:33:34 You might be able to.
00:33:34 You might even hurt yourself, depending on what this system is.
00:33:44 But this is not a lesson that you learn.
00:33:48 Simply by reading the manual.
00:33:55 Something else that you learn is the language.
00:34:00 Of the system.
00:34:02 The jargon.
00:34:06 Of the system.
00:34:11 Every system has its own language.
00:34:16 Every system has its own jargon.
00:34:23 Sometimes it's a requirement, sometimes it's.
00:34:28 Jargon that needs to exist because they're describing things that are very unique to that system, so they to.
00:34:35 Make up a word.
00:34:36 Or make up a term because there's no word that existed in the English language prior to that system existing.
00:34:42 That would describe that piece of the system.
00:34:48 Oftentimes these terms are confusing.
00:34:54 Sometimes I think on purpose.
00:34:57 To dissuade people.
00:35:00 From getting their hands dirty.
00:35:04 And forcing them to treat the system like a magic box.
00:35:09 And the trust the people more qualified than they.
00:35:14 To handle the system.
00:35:21 But you need to.
00:35:22 Know the jargon of a system in order to fix it in order to interact with it.
00:35:30 In order to even just discuss it with other people intelligently.
00:35:40 I was talking about a design book that I've I've mentioned this.
00:35:47 When I was getting into design to design.
00:35:50 The the author of that book.
00:35:53 Who was weirdly named Robin Williams, even though it was a girl.
00:35:57 Wasn't, you know?
00:35:58 The Robin Williams that killed himself.
00:36:03 In the in the beginning of the book.
00:36:06 She talked about the importance of jargon.
00:36:11 The importance of knowing the names for things.
00:36:16 And that.
00:36:18 Just like.
00:36:22 Because having a name for something allows you to.
00:36:28 See it more often and see it more clearly as it exists in the real world and the example that she gave was that she saw a Joshua tree.
00:36:39 These goofy looking, you know Doctor Seuss looking trees.
00:36:44 In Southern California.
00:36:47 And in Arizona and probably other places too.
00:36:51 But Joshua Tree National Forest.
00:36:57 I forget if it's in California or Arizona or both, but it's whole forest of these trees that they're some of these trees are actually older than Christianity.
00:37:08 I mean, these are really old trees.
00:37:11 And it's just these, these goofy looking kind of Yucca trees that look, as I said, very doctor Seuss I.
00:37:21 And she described a moment when she first looked up to see, like, what are these things called?
00:37:29 I see these things sometimes, and I don't.
00:37:30 Know what they're called?
00:37:34 And then she discovered other called Joshua Trees.
00:37:37 And she lived in LA, I think.
00:37:39 And a lot of people have.
00:37:40 These trees in.
00:37:41 Their yard and stuff.
00:37:42 And she said the moment that she learned that they were called Joshua Trees.
00:37:49 It was as if they had multiplied.
00:37:52 All throughout her.
00:37:56 She would see them everywhere.
00:37:59 And they had always been there. I mean, some of these have been there for 1000 years.
00:38:05 But her brain had just skimmed right over him because they didn't.
00:38:08 There was number name for it.
00:38:15 Another example of this is.
00:38:18 I remember when I bought a Chevy Cavalier.
00:38:21 One of the most boring cars ever made.
00:38:24 Looks like every other boring car.
00:38:28 And it was the first, newer card I'd owned.
00:38:30 I'd owned mostly cars that were older than I was.
00:38:34 That looked very unique.
00:38:37 But cars ever since the well really beginning in the 80s and onward.
00:38:42 Thanks to the discovery of aerodynamics and the loss of.
00:38:48 Form over function.
00:38:51 Every color has kind of justice converged into the same Jelly Bean, stupid looking shape.
00:38:58 With no style whatsoever.
00:39:00 And so I didn't really.
00:39:03 Differentiate between many cars.
00:39:05 When I was driving down the road it just looked like, oh, it's a newer car.
00:39:08 I could tell the decade.
00:39:11 But beyond that, my brain would just kind of not really pay a lot of attention.
00:39:19 But then now that I had.
00:39:22 A Chevy cavalier.
00:39:25 I was seeing Chevy Cavaliers all over the place.
00:39:30 I was even noticing differences in the different years like oh.
00:39:35 That must be a different year than mine because the back of its shape slightly different or you know the the the hubcaps are different or something.
00:39:50 It's not as if though all of a sudden.
00:39:53 Half the city was driving the Chevy Cavalier.
00:39:56 Those cars had always been on the road.
00:39:59 But because I knew.
00:39:59 What they were called.
00:40:03 My brain was noticing them everywhere.
00:40:11 So it's very important.
00:40:13 To understand the jargon.
00:40:16 To understand the language.
00:40:19 Of the system.
00:40:24 Because the same thing will happen.
00:40:27 You might look at, say, the bottom of a an old AM radio.
00:40:34 With all these components, it just looks like a a rats nest of.
00:40:42 Of wires and components.
00:40:47 And if you don't know what an electrolytic capacitor is.
00:40:53 All the electrolytic capacitors are going to blend in with all.
00:40:56 The other components.
00:40:59 If you don't know what a resistor is.
00:41:03 All the resistors are going to just blend into all the.
00:41:06 Other components you're going to look at the bottom of this radio.
00:41:09 All these components wired together.
00:41:11 It's going to look like a schizophrenic mess.
00:41:20 And tell you can name the specific components.
00:41:25 Your brain is not going to be able.
00:41:27 To separate them.
00:41:29 From just this mess of wires.
00:41:37 And in order to actually fix.
00:41:41 This radio you have to know what the.
00:41:43 Things are called.
00:41:48 And like my Chevy cavalier.
00:41:51 You're going to have to know them so well that you start.
00:41:53 To notice differences between.
00:41:54 Them because they're not all the same.
00:41:58 Why is this capacitor bigger than this capacitor?
00:42:06 What's a microfarad?
00:42:10 What's the voltage rating?
00:42:14 What are these colored stripes on this resistor?
00:42:20 Why are the colored stripes on this resistor different?
00:42:24 This is all very important stuff.
00:42:33 Stuff that you.
00:42:35 Could read in a book.
00:42:39 But stuff that you're not going to truly learn.
00:42:43 Until you're getting your hands dirty.
00:42:51 Now something else that you will learn when troubleshooting.
00:42:55 And again this could.
00:42:56 Be the electrical system in a house.
00:42:59 This could be the plumbing system.
00:43:00 In a house.
00:43:02 It could be a diesel engine, it could be a ******* space shuttle.
00:43:04 Doesn't matter.
00:43:08 All of these different systems.
00:43:12 Not only do they require a language all their own, a jargon to describe things very specific to that system, they also require.
00:43:23 Unique tools.
00:43:28 Used only for that system.
00:43:34 Some tools go from system to system, like a wrench or a Phillips head screwdriver or something like that, but there's some tools very specialized.
00:43:43 You're not going to be using a torque wrench to fix a computer.
00:43:54 And so troubleshooting and fixing complex systems forces you not only to learn the jargon, but to also learn the different tools.
00:44:04 Used to diagnose.
00:44:07 And to repair these systems and sometimes.
00:44:12 These tools are.
00:44:14 Are complex systems in and of themselves you know perfect example that would be like.
00:44:17 An oscilloscope.
00:44:25 In the Stiller scope is its own complex system.
00:44:35 The bottom line?
00:44:36 You can't fix.
00:44:39 An old radio without a voltmeter.
00:44:42 You can't fix an engine without a wrench.
00:44:45 Well, I think as there's probably instances in both those cases, you could.
00:44:48 But you get you get the drift.
00:44:56 And you'll notice.
00:44:58 These tools.
00:45:00 Often don't even come up.
00:45:03 In the documentation.
00:45:10 If your knowledge of that system is purely academic, it's never going to come up with, you know that you're the the cellscope has an example, right?
00:45:21 You're reading the manual to that radio.
00:45:24 The engineers aren't going to tell you how an oscilloscope works.
00:45:31 If you're reading the manual to your car.
00:45:35 They're not going to tell.
00:45:36 You how?
00:45:37 The different diagnostic computers work.
00:45:42 How a torque wrench works?
00:45:51 It's not until you have the hands on experience that you understand how these tools work.
00:46:03 Another phenomenon.
00:46:07 And something that you will learn.
00:46:10 While tackling a magic box.
00:46:14 I'm sure there's gonna be lots of sexual innuendo, innuendo.
00:46:17 It's too late.
00:46:18 For that word right now.
00:46:20 Sexual metaphors.
00:46:23 But I do not mean.
00:46:24 Mean any of them the the magic box and tackling the magic box.
00:46:32 When you're trying to learn about a new system.
00:46:37 You're trying to learn the jargon and.
00:46:39 The tools and all this other.
00:46:40 Stuff you will experience.
00:46:45 A micro version of the Dunning Kruger effect.
00:46:50 Everyone does happens to me, happens to everyone.
00:46:53 It's very human.
00:46:55 Everyone's heard the the saying he knows just enough to be dangerous.
00:47:00 Which is very true.
00:47:04 When someone's learning about systems.
00:47:10 When you start to 1st, put names to things.
00:47:14 You start to very first time you start to really understand the diagnostic tools.
00:47:22 One of the things you notice.
00:47:25 As you get way overconfident.
00:47:29 Because you don't know, you don't know where this this ladder of knowledge.
00:47:32 That you're climbing ends.
00:47:34 And in most cases it never ends.
00:47:38 But when you make when you get over that first initial hump of going from.
00:47:44 Looking at this thing and saying I have no idea how this magic box works.
00:47:48 It's literally just magic to me to understanding just enough to kind of get some of the core concepts, oftentimes humans because we are human.
00:48:01 We get a big hat on our shoulders.
00:48:03 We're like, oh, wow, we're very proud of ourselves for learning about all.
00:48:06 These terms.
00:48:08 Learn about all these tools and how they work.
00:48:13 And suddenly we know just enough to be dangerous.
00:48:23 And often times we break the systems we're trying to fix.
00:48:29 Because we don't know what we're.
00:48:30 Doing but we think we do.
00:48:35 And that's a that's a required step.
00:48:38 To knock that that way of thinking out of your mind, you have.
00:48:42 To **** **.
00:48:44 To give yourself humility.
00:48:47 It's part of the learning process.
00:48:50 But you see, if you never have hands on experience.
00:48:54 You will never get that humility.
00:48:58 You're always going to think you know more.
00:49:00 Than you do.
00:49:01 Because you haven't proved yourself wrong yet.
00:49:09 That's why actually troubleshooting actually having hands on experience is so much more important.
00:49:20 You you have no evidence.
00:49:25 That you know nothing.
00:49:27 All the evidence you have points to you being, you know, way more than your friends.
00:49:33 About this engine or about this?
00:49:35 About plumbing or about whatever it is.
00:49:42 You know way more than the average normy, so you must be.
00:49:45 A ******* genius.
00:49:50 Newsflash, it's really easy.
00:49:53 No more than the average normy about, well, pretty much everything.
00:50:03 But it's not until you humiliate yourself.
00:50:08 By ******* up that system.
00:50:13 Or really.
00:50:16 Finding a situation where your knowledge is severely lacking.
00:50:21 That you knock yourself down a few pegs.
00:50:25 And realize how little you really do know.
00:50:32 Because and and until that happens, you basically just know just enough to be dangerous.
00:50:46 Something else that happens while trying to fix these complex systems.
00:50:54 Is you realize?
00:50:57 Very often.
00:51:04 Let's say the backyard mechanic.
00:51:09 Knows more about that system is in terms of how it actually functions and operates.
00:51:15 Then the engineer who designed it.
00:51:22 Because the engineer.
00:51:24 Isn't sitting in some garage in the hot sun.
00:51:29 With grease all over his face.
00:51:33 Fixing thousands of cars that just got recalled because of his **** **.
00:51:43 The engineer isn't having to fix.
00:51:47 The same 3 problems.
00:51:50 Over and over and over again.
00:51:52 That the system he designed keeps having.
00:52:00 But the guy in the service station.
00:52:05 He knows exactly what fails.
00:52:07 Because he's the one that has to fix.
00:52:08 It all ******* day long.
00:52:17 Now, to be fair, a lot of these mechanics.
00:52:21 Couldn't design A car themselves.
00:52:27 If you were to put them in front of a, you know, an AutoCAD stations, they'd design A car.
00:52:32 It would just be like, no.
00:52:33 I can't.
00:52:36 This is not.
00:52:37 This is not what I do.
00:52:40 Same thing with computer technicians.
00:52:42 Lots of people can fix operating system problems.
00:52:48 Who couldn't design an operating system?
00:52:59 So to be perfectly fair, there is a little bit of.
00:53:01 Both ways there.
00:53:06 Speaking of.
00:53:08 The backyard mechanic.
00:53:14 Another thing that you learn while trying to fix.
00:53:20 These complex systems.
00:53:24 Is the importance.
00:53:27 Of finding a mentor.
00:53:33 I can't tell you how many times you know.
00:53:36 When I was a computer technician, when I've been working on cars.
00:53:41 How many times I've had a problem?
00:53:45 And I researched the problem.
00:53:48 And I, you know, I try to logic it out.
00:53:52 You know, systematically going through this, you know, every little piece of the system and and trying to find the failure point.
00:54:04 And just having no idea like what the **** is wrong?
00:54:07 With this thing.
00:54:10 And then talking to someone who's been working on these kinds of systems for their whole lives.
00:54:15 And you mentioned three symptoms or or maybe even less sometimes.
00:54:18 And they instantly say, oh, replace this.
00:54:23 And they're right.
00:54:25 And it's the easiest thing.
00:54:26 In the world.
00:54:28 And you might even have a white, and I think of that moment.
00:54:34 But you discover the value.
00:54:37 Real quick.
00:54:40 In having a mentor, my dad worked for Ford for many years as a mechanic to put himself through school.
00:54:48 And if something goes wrong on a Ford engine.
00:54:52 He's the guy to talk to.
00:54:56 And I can go through the manual and I.
00:54:58 Can go to Internet forums and and try to find you know the problem.
00:55:03 Or I can just talk to my dad for 10 seconds, and he'll usually know exactly what's wrong with.
00:55:08 It and how to fix it?
00:55:21 It's very important to find mentors in your life.
00:55:24 It's very, very difficult.
00:55:27 To find mentors near life also.
00:55:35 But sometimes in this process also teaches you the importance of being a mentor.
00:55:44 You know, a lot of times, especially if you've been leaning hard on a mentor to help get you through fixing some of these systems.
00:55:52 If you're a good person, at least eventually you're going to feel like you got to give back in some way.
00:56:00 You've received all this help.
00:56:03 From your community.
00:56:05 This is why there's going to be less of this, because more and.
00:56:07 More we don't have communities.
00:56:11 We're going to try to stay positive here.
00:56:14 Because you've leaned so heavily on your community for.
00:56:17 The the solutions to your problems.
00:56:21 Once you start to feel that you have enough expertise.
00:56:29 You can become a mentor.
00:56:32 To the next crop of people.
00:56:36 You need help with these systems and the same way that you did.
00:56:48 You can pass on your knowledge.
00:56:53 In fact, it which in a way that was the way all the knowledge, especially before the written word, that's how all knowledge was passed down.
00:57:00 That's how humans operate.
00:57:01 That's how things just worked.
00:57:05 You know if.
00:57:05 Your father was a blacksmith.
00:57:07 You were a blacksmith.
00:57:09 You learn by him mentoring you.
00:57:13 And eventually when he retired or died or whatever, and you took over the the blacksmith shop.
00:57:23 You would start to teach your son.
00:57:26 The tricks of the trade.
00:57:30 And so on and so on.
00:57:31 And so forth.
00:57:36 We are designed to operate like this.
00:57:37 In fact, that's where many last names.
00:57:41 Come from you.
00:57:42 You you do research on last names and you often find that these last names have to do with the occupation of the of your people.
00:57:56 You know, Smith being a prime example of there, there's a different reason why there's so many Smiths in America.
00:58:01 Smith is, you know, implies that your family was once a blacksmith.
00:58:19 Another thing that you learn.
00:58:23 When learning to troubleshoot complex systems.
00:58:26 And solve the problems in complex systems as you learn, and this is more advanced level I guess.
00:58:34 But eventually you'll learn to avoid situations.
00:58:40 Where as we used to call it in the filmmaking business.
00:58:44 Hurry up and wait.
00:58:48 A lot of times when people are first learning to do film production.
00:58:56 They vastly underestimate.
00:59:00 The complexity of that system, you know the production of a film becomes a complex system.
00:59:11 And so a lot of times when they plan things out.
00:59:15 Like oh, we need to shoot this scene.
00:59:18 At this location.
00:59:22 And because they fail to plant it out properly.
00:59:28 Almost without fail, when it comes to beginners.
00:59:32 You've got a whole crew sitting on their hands waiting for something.
00:59:38 Well, we have to wait for the makeup person to finish before.
00:59:41 We can shoot this.
00:59:42 But in the meantime, you've got this actor that's been waiting to do his scene for an hour, and now he's getting tired.
00:59:49 And over here you've got this, you know, gaffer, that, that.
00:59:56 That your pain to just sit there.
01:00:02 You got all these people on on on the clock, doing nothing.
01:00:09 Or if you're fixing a.
01:00:12 A car?
01:00:13 Maybe you're waiting for a part to show up?
01:00:20 Or if you are working on a.
01:00:23 A something I ran into a lot when I would work on animations.
01:00:28 I have to wait for this to finish rendering.
01:00:36 Now this is important and I'm going to go a little philosophical with this for a second.
01:00:40 Just because I think this extends to so many things.
01:00:45 So often many of us.
01:00:49 We think in linear terms.
01:00:56 We'll do this trick in our mind.
01:01:00 This trick, I believe born of laziness, quite frankly.
01:01:06 Where we tell ourselves, well, I can't do anything.
01:01:10 Because I have to wait till this happens.
01:01:13 Once this happens then I can do this.
01:01:21 In the case of rendering an animation.
01:01:26 I might do the 3D frames.
01:01:30 And then I have to render out the 3D portion of this animation.
01:01:36 And the step after that would be to bring those rendered frames into after effects or some other compositing software.
01:01:44 And then doing color correction and compositing those, those 3D elements into the live footage.
01:01:50 Or whatever, right?
01:01:53 Well, 3D rendering sometimes can take a really long time.
01:01:59 And when I first started out.
01:02:02 I would get a mental block.
01:02:07 I would tell myself.
01:02:10 Oh, ****.
01:02:10 Now I can't work on this for like this says it's going to take 12 hours to render.
01:02:15 Which can be a short time for.
01:02:16 Some of these renders.
01:02:19 12 hours.
01:02:22 That means I can't do anything for 12 hours because you know that that's nothing can happen until these frames are rendered.
01:02:41 And it's not until you you have the experience knowing.
01:02:45 Oh OK.
01:02:46 When I get to this part of this complex system operating this complex system.
01:02:51 I'm going to be stuck for 12 hours.
01:02:54 You know, I have rendered enough 3D animation now to know that this part will take 12 hours.
01:03:01 What can I be doing?
01:03:03 During those 12 hours.
01:03:10 What can I be doing while I wait for this part to show up?
01:03:18 If you're waiting for something.
01:03:21 To happen.
01:03:24 Before you go to the next step.
01:03:28 In my experience.
01:03:31 It's either out of poor planning.
01:03:34 Or laziness.
01:03:38 There are things you know you could be doing.
01:03:43 They're just not the things you like doing.
01:03:48 Or that they're the things that would be.
01:03:49 Easier if you waited.
01:03:51 It's not that you can't do it now.
01:03:54 It would just be easier if you waited for this step to be completed.
01:04:07 So having hands on repeated hands on experience with repairing and using these complex systems.
01:04:15 Forces you to stop thinking.
01:04:23 It forces you to stop.
01:04:26 Waiting for something to happen.
01:04:32 It forces you to stop thinking in the mindset of, well, this has to happen before I can do this.
01:04:41 Because while that might be true.
01:04:44 There are other things that can be.
01:04:45 Happening in the mean time.
01:04:53 Another thing that working on these complex systems will teach you.
01:04:59 Is not just the value in documentation.
01:05:05 You know, like reading manuals and and you know, service bulletins and stuff like that.
01:05:13 But your own documentation.
01:05:19 Especially if you do.
01:05:21 Get yourself in a situation where you have to wait.
01:05:25 A substantial amount of time.
01:05:29 You know when you're in the zone when you're working.
01:05:32 One step after logical step.
01:05:38 You might not feel the need to document everything.
01:05:40 That you're doing.
01:05:42 Because you're in the zone, you're just you're.
01:05:44 Just doing it.
01:05:48 And then let's say in the case of a car, let's say you're you're working on an engine, you're taking things apart, your memory is fresh.
01:05:56 You know where that bolt goes.
01:05:57 You know, you set it right over there and.
01:06:03 It's no problem to remember that that's where that bolt goes.
01:06:06 And because you just undid it.
01:06:08 And you took this part off and you know that that's where that part is now, because you just set it over there on the.
01:06:13 On this part of your work bench or whatever.
01:06:16 But now let's say you've got to wait a week.
01:06:18 For a part to show up.
01:06:22 So week goes by.
01:06:25 You finally got that part and you're like, thank God.
01:06:29 I can now go and finish the work on this engine.
01:06:34 And you walk out to the garage.
01:06:36 You lift up the hood.
01:06:38 And there's just parts and bolts everywhere.
01:06:43 And you're like, huh?
01:06:46 Maybe I should have taken some photos of what this looked like.
01:06:51 Before I took it apart.
01:06:54 Or maybe I should have written some notes as to why I did this or why I did that.
01:07:01 And the more complex the system, the more important it is for that documentation, or the coders will tell you the same thing.
01:07:10 You're writing code, you're in the zone.
01:07:13 A lot of coders, they get in the zone and can crank out code.
01:07:18 It's tough to get you, but you have to force yourself to get into the habit of documenting the code that you're writing.
01:07:27 Because while it all makes sense, while your brain is freshly trying to solve all the problems.
01:07:34 You go back to that code a month later.
01:07:38 Now you're going to waste a bunch of time having to read this decipher.
01:07:44 All this code that's all over the place.
01:07:48 But if you had just taken the time to write some notes.
01:07:54 Does this this line of code is for that?
01:08:01 It would only take you a couple of seconds to understand what, what, where the hell you were and what the hell your code even does.
01:08:10 The same is true with all complex systems.
01:08:20 Yeah, whether if you're wiring up a house.
01:08:27 At the breaker box you're going to.
01:08:28 Want to document.
01:08:31 Which wires are going to which rooms?
01:08:36 You know, while you're doing it, you might remember.
01:08:38 Oh, yeah, the top one.
01:08:39 That's the living room in a year.
01:08:41 You're not going to remember that.
01:08:53 So working hands on with these systems forces you to learn the lesson.
01:08:59 Of documenting.
01:09:05 Your own work.
01:09:14 Now I'll tell you these things I'm telling you about in no way imply that I'm an.
01:09:19 Expert in these areas.
01:09:23 The documentation one is particularly I'm bad at.
01:09:28 They speak from experience.
01:09:32 I can't tell you many times that like if I had just taken a a couple of photos before ripping a system to shreds.
01:09:39 It would have.
01:09:40 Saved me several hours.
01:09:42 When I come back to it.
01:09:44 And just think, oh, oh, no.
01:09:49 I forgot where where this went.
01:09:52 I forgot where this goes.
01:10:03 Another lesson that you learn in troubleshooting complex systems.
01:10:08 And this is kind of this guy ties in hand in hand with the Dunning Kruger effect.
01:10:13 You know the the knowing just enough to be dangerous, kind of a thing.
01:10:17 Is keep it simple stupid.
01:10:20 I'm sure everyone's heard people say that.
01:10:23 Keep keep it simple, stupid.
01:10:25 And that's because a lot of times, the more you learn about a system and the more you think.
01:10:32 That you're an expert in the system.
01:10:35 Because you know so much more than the average person, which again is not hard to do, but.
01:10:41 Just because you know you're basing thing, that's your baseline.
01:10:44 Like, well, I know a whole way.
01:10:46 More about this.
01:10:48 This engine, then my friend Tommy.
01:10:51 Well, Tommy's a ******.
01:10:52 So that's not that hard.
01:10:56 Sorry, Tommy.
01:11:00 But one of the things we start doing.
01:11:03 Is we start.
01:11:06 Thinking that the solution.
01:11:11 To every one of the problems that we come across.
01:11:15 In these complex systems, is some ultra exotic fix.
01:11:26 You start thinking that.
01:11:29 Oh well, this system has a failure here.
01:11:33 And because I understand how this system works.
01:11:38 I'm going to come up with this.
01:11:41 You know, overly complicated approach.
01:11:46 To solving this problem.
01:11:49 Because I can.
01:11:52 Or at least you think you can.
01:12:00 And so you end up going.
01:12:03 And wasting a bunch of time over complicating the system.
01:12:07 In many cases, making the problem worse.
01:12:14 Missing the forest for the trees.
01:12:18 Because now you know enough to at least intellectually consider.
01:12:25 The you're super complex solution.
01:12:28 Would solve the problem theoretically, right?
01:12:34 From a practical standpoint, it's a terrible solution, but theoretically this super exotic complex solution.
01:12:44 Not only makes sense on paper, it gives you a sense that you are some kind of genius.
01:12:50 For having come up with this solution.
01:12:55 Look how much I understand this complex system.
01:12:59 I've devised this.
01:13:03 Intensely sophisticated solution to this issue.
01:13:17 When all I had to do was tighten the screw.
01:13:26 And again, a lot of times this is one of those trial by fire kind of situations, a lot of us suffer from this.
01:13:31 It's human nature.
01:13:34 You start to learn about something.
01:13:37 And you instantly want to apply this knowledge that you have.
01:13:43 Because I mean you, you have some pride tied to the fact that you know this stuff.
01:13:53 And it's not until you come into or get into a situation.
01:13:58 Where you make these exotic, sophisticated solutions to an easy fix problem.
01:14:04 And you make it worse that you realize.
01:14:09 It's better just to keep it simple.
01:14:21 And that's why it's so important that you have.
01:14:25 The hands on.
01:14:29 Experienced because when problems are real.
01:14:35 And not theoretical.
01:14:39 You have skin in the game.
01:14:45 When you come up with your exotic solution and it doesn't work.
01:14:51 You're the one that has to undo it.
01:14:54 You're the one that has to.
01:14:55 Fix it.
01:14:58 Or even worse.
01:15:00 Oftentimes in dealing with matters like this.
01:15:05 Your exotic solution.
01:15:08 Can further damage.
01:15:09 The system and create even more work for you.
01:15:15 Our brains learn faster.
01:15:19 Through pain and negative.
01:15:24 As a defense mechanism than almost any other way you touch a hot stove.
01:15:29 You're not going to do it again.
01:15:33 Well, most of us.
01:15:34 Aren't going to do it again.
01:15:40 I remember when I was when I was a kid.
01:15:45 I was staying with my grandparents.
01:15:47 And they were pretty old.
01:15:50 You know like.
01:15:53 You know the type of old people that drive slow and.
01:15:57 Dangerously, at the same time, somehow.
01:16:04 And I was in the back seat.
01:16:07 Of my.
01:16:12 And they're inching out of a parking lot.
01:16:16 He would start to drive and then he'd get he'd he'd like.
01:16:19 Oh, there's a car company coming.
01:16:20 I better stop.
01:16:21 But meanwhile, his car is like, still hanging out into the street.
01:16:24 And I'm like and it was.
01:16:26 It was terrifying because I knew I knew.
01:16:28 I knew.
01:16:28 Exactly what was going to happen.
01:16:34 And he kept inching out further and further and further.
01:16:38 And eventually.
01:16:41 We got T boned.
01:16:45 I watched in horror.
01:16:48 As a truck came barreling towards me.
01:16:53 The only thing separating me in this truck was a car door and a window.
01:17:00 And it hit the car.
01:17:02 Pretty hard spun it around.
01:17:07 And that was the first real kind of wreck I had been in.
01:17:11 I thought I remember how old I was.
01:17:12 I would have been.
01:17:14 Probably maybe like around 10.
01:17:25 And I had.
01:17:28 What I would describe, I guess like a form of PTSD after that.
01:17:33 Where every time from that moment I mean not forever, but like.
01:17:37 For a while.
01:17:41 If I was in the back seat of my parents car, as you know, as I often was, because that's where.
01:17:47 Kids sit right?
01:17:49 And my mom was going to.
01:17:50 Pull out.
01:17:51 Of a parking lot.
01:17:53 I had a physical reaction.
01:17:58 Like I would, I would physically like brace myself for impact.
01:18:04 Because that got etched into my brain.
01:18:09 My soft little mind.
01:18:15 That was bad and dangerous.
01:18:20 You know another example of this would be and thankfully I haven't had to do this yet.
01:18:24 I haven't.
01:18:25 Had to learn.
01:18:26 Well, actually we we called this learning.
01:18:28 The hard way.
01:18:29 Right.
01:18:30 There's a term for this learning the hard way.
01:18:38 Now what I work on, like I've said, old old radios and these radios contain lethal voltages all over the place.
01:18:49 Lots of things that you could touch and give yourself an Howie.
01:18:53 And things that you could touch that will stop your heart.
01:19:01 And people will say, well, you'll only do it once either because it'll kill you.
01:19:10 Or it'll hurt you so bad you'll never want.
01:19:12 To do it again.
01:19:25 When you have a problem, that's simply theoretical.
01:19:30 It's simply in the abstract.
01:19:33 And you come up with these solutions.
01:19:37 Where you don't suffer the consequences of these of these solutions.
01:19:41 You've come up with.
01:19:43 You never learn.
01:19:47 You never learn.
01:19:51 This is why it in fact I did that.
01:19:53 Stream a while back.
01:19:56 Talking about how we're post rule of law.
01:20:00 And that that's that ties into this exact.
01:20:06 We have a ruling class that is not.
01:20:09 Having to experience.
01:20:15 For their the.
01:20:15 Problems that they create and the solutions.
01:20:19 They devise.
01:20:25 They never have to.
01:20:28 Be the one that touches.
01:20:32 The 400 Volt DC.
01:20:35 Live wire.
01:20:37 They've got people for that.
01:20:40 The the consequences never reached them.
01:20:46 So even if it's not some, I'm not saying it's not.
01:20:49 But even if it's not.
01:20:52 Some evil plan, even if it is what as some people think, incompetence or or whatever.
01:21:00 They're never going to learn.
01:21:05 They're never going to learn because they're never going to experience consequences for their actions.
01:21:14 They're never going to get the spanking that will ensure that they never do it again.
01:21:20 And in fact, quite the opposite.
01:21:22 They get rewarded.
01:21:30 They get rewarded.
01:21:48 Now, on the bright side.
01:21:53 Everything we've talked about this evening about not truly understanding how a system works, therefore how to.
01:21:58 Fix it or you.
01:21:59 Know what?
01:22:00 Maybe how to exploit it?
01:22:03 Maybe how to break it?
01:22:11 But because the lack of this, this, this lack of hands on experience of the ruling class has.
01:22:20 How everything's theoretical and in the abstract it looks good on paper.
01:22:38 They don't know as much as you do.
01:22:41 They don't know as much as you can.
01:22:45 They're not going to be as competent.
01:22:50 They're not going to be as effective.
01:22:54 Just so long as you eliminate.
01:22:57 All of the magic boxes in your life.
01:23:04 Now the ruling class, they're surrounded by magic boxes.
01:23:07 Trust me.
01:23:07 I've had to do.
01:23:10 Tech work for some kind of high.
01:23:13 Up people in the past.
01:23:15 Again, people that it's puzzling it's at first, especially when I was younger, I didn't quite understand how the world worked.
01:23:21 I I just assumed that, oh, if you're really smart and you use a computer every day, you're going how you know how it ******* works.
01:23:28 Not so.
01:23:32 And I would be shocked again and again and again as these people who made you know several times.
01:23:38 More money than I did.
01:23:44 Would have no idea of how even the simplest thing worked on their computer.
01:23:55 And again, that's just that's a microcosm of a much larger problem.
01:24:07 None of these people are ever getting their hands dirty.
01:24:15 Many of them don't have mentors.
01:24:17 They haven't learned a lot of the the.
01:24:19 The lessons that we've talked about tonight.
01:24:26 The value in keeping it simple.
01:24:29 And not having some overly complicated solution just to show how sophisticated they are.
01:24:40 Learning humility.
01:24:45 Realizing that they know just enough to be dangerous.
01:24:58 Understanding the tools.
01:25:07 The subsystems.
01:25:10 Necessary to understand, to operate and repair the larger system.
01:25:24 And most of them have not read any of the documentation.
01:25:30 Ask a senator to quote the the Constitution.
01:25:33 Sometime you know.
01:25:44 So anyway, that's the.
01:25:47 That's something I want you guys to.
01:25:48 Think about and.
01:25:49 And this is not just all metaphorical.
01:25:51 I do mean that you should eliminate magic boxes from your life.
01:25:55 You should have at least a basic understanding of how your your car works, or if you don't, I mean maybe, maybe you don't.
01:26:02 If you don't ever use cars, but if if there's if you rely on cars.
01:26:08 For your life, you should know how they work.
01:26:14 You should understand how complex systems work, and it doesn't have to be anything technical.
01:26:20 It could be gardening, gardening.
01:26:23 Is a complex system just as much as you know, a radio or a a motorcycle or whatever would be.
01:26:31 All the same rules would apply.
01:26:32 You know, there's there's specific jargon in gardening.
01:26:36 You know, there's specific tools that are only used in gardening.
01:26:40 There's documentation, there's mentors.
01:26:44 All these things apply to every complex system that you can think of.
01:26:54 And by the way, everyone listening.
01:26:57 You rely on gardening to survive.
01:27:02 If you eat anything made from plants, you should understand how to grow those plants.
01:27:19 That if you use any kind of technology.
01:27:22 In your life.
01:27:24 You rely on it and it's a magic box to you.
01:27:27 You're doing it wrong.
01:27:35 So I would suggest to everyone listening that your New Year's resolution, if that's what you're going to do.
01:27:41 Some people hate doing those.
01:27:42 I don't know.
01:27:43 I I find value in it just because for whatever reason, humans like anniversaries.
01:27:50 They like it.
01:27:51 They're like round numbers.
01:27:57 If you're human, why not leverage that?
01:28:01 It's just a psychological trick.
01:28:02 Sure, you.
01:28:03 You might as well have a a goal begin or end at any other day.
01:28:09 There's nothing magical about this day, but there kind of is.
01:28:13 Simply because your brain thinks there is.
01:28:22 So you might as well leverage that magic.
01:28:27 And try to eliminate.
01:28:30 As many magic boxes.
01:28:33 That are in your life as possible.
01:28:41 And I'll tell you what.
01:28:41 If you start homesteading, that's just.
01:28:43 Going to have.
01:28:43 To happen anyway, I had no, I mean, like there's just a lot of.
01:28:46 Basic things that you just don't.
01:28:48 Know about until you have to to ******* do it.
01:28:52 You know?
01:28:52 I've never.
01:28:53 Dealt as closely with rewiring a House as I I have with this place, a lot of that stuff seemed a little bit magic boxing until I started doing it.
01:29:03 That a lot more plumbing here than the other place.
01:29:06 And even just some basic stuff.
01:29:10 Using different power.
01:29:11 Tools as often as I do and.
01:29:14 And certainly the gardening.
01:29:17 And beekeeping.
01:29:19 Ah yes.
01:29:21 This is the year of the beekeeping.
01:29:27 Hopefully I don't.
01:29:27 I don't die.
01:29:29 Hopefully this is one of those.
01:29:32 One of those, those trial and error things you know and working with complex systems and having skin in the game and one of the the possibilities is is extreme harm like and instead of touching the the live wire in the in the radio it's it's.
01:29:47 Getting a hive infested with aggressive killer bees, so I'm going to try to avoid that.
01:29:55 As much as I can.
01:30:00 So anyway.
01:30:03 Hope that hope that was of value to some of.
01:30:08 I'm going to take a look at.
01:30:09 Your super chats here.
01:30:13 Again, I was going to make this a scripted video.
01:30:17 I even started work on it and I just.
01:30:20 Thought it would be better just to do in the context of the New Year of 2022.
01:30:27 You know tomorrow.
01:30:29 The date is going to be two 222.
01:30:33 Or I guess like technically right now.
01:30:36 In most places.
01:30:38 It's 2222.
01:30:43 In fact, in some places it'll it's about to be 202 on 2/2.
01:30:51 Too, too.
01:30:52 And while I was talking, it was already in some places 202 or 222 and two.
01:31:03 So now we know how we spent 222. Stop.
01:31:10 So many twos.
01:31:15 Alright, alright.
01:31:17 Never mind.
01:31:17 People on the chat are reminding me that I'm an idiot.
01:31:21 It's not February.
01:31:22 OK, I'm off for a month.
01:31:25 It's 1222 alright so.
01:31:30 Alright, I got it.
01:31:31 Uh, it's it's it's late.
01:31:32 Or early, I don't know.
01:31:34 But we should we should do something special.
01:31:36 Maybe I'll look at the calendar for two because we get two of them, right?
01:31:40 We get the two 222 and then we get 222. Unless you're. You're European, that's isn't it.
01:31:48 Like 22 two. But that's that's stupid. I'll tell you. I'm giving my argument for why that's dumb.
01:31:54 Everyone gets mad at.
01:31:55 Oh, you do the you do.
01:31:56 The date backwards.
01:31:58 No, you don't.
01:31:59 No, we don't.
01:32:01 Think of it in terms of communications.
01:32:04 Think of it as is.
01:32:05 Is, you're broad, you're you're transmitting for some reason.
01:32:09 A date.
01:32:09 A very important date to someone on the other end.
01:32:15 Right.
01:32:18 Well, what's going?
01:32:19 To be if you're trying, let's say the transmission gets cut off.
01:32:23 Like, oh, we got to be ready. We got to be ready for the, you know, for for 10/10.
01:32:32 I guess a better example, so it's not the same.
01:32:34 Thing we gotta be ready for 7/26.
01:32:37 726.
01:32:41 Which would be what? January, February, March, April, May, June, July 26.
01:32:45 Right.
01:32:47 If you're American.
01:32:50 But if you're European, you would say.
01:32:52 26/7.
01:32:55 Let's say your transmission gets cut off.
01:32:58 Before you can finish saying.
01:33:01 26/7.
01:33:03 Well, that doesn't help me out.
01:33:06 It's the 26th of what month that would make a big difference.
01:33:11 The 26th of October the 26th of January, the 26th of.
01:33:18 Of of May.
01:33:21 Ah, but if I'm doing it the right way, the American way, which is always the right way.
01:33:28 And I say it's 726.
01:33:32 And then the transmission gets cut off before I can finish.
01:33:36 They're going to hear that seven and be like, oh, it's going to happen in July.
01:33:42 This, this, this very important thing that was crucial.
01:33:45 That's going to narrow it down.
01:33:49 I don't know that's that's.
01:33:52 I don't know why we do.
01:33:53 It differently, I really don't know why.
01:33:55 We do it differently.
01:33:57 But uh, we should do something kind of fun for 2/2/22 and all that stuff. And I can't believe I.
01:34:05 Thought it was, why didn't my brain go to that?
01:34:08 I think it's cause I looked.
01:34:09 At the.
01:34:09 Clock and it was 202 at one point.
01:34:12 And I was.
01:34:12 Like O2.
01:34:13 02 and 22.
01:34:17 Alright, let me tell you look at the uh, the.
01:34:18 Super chats here.
01:34:22 From Rav the kelt.
01:34:26 Happy New year.
01:34:26 All the best for the year ahead.
01:34:29 What a **** show.
01:34:30 It's going to be.
01:34:32 Yeah, I I'm.
01:34:33 I'm again.
01:34:35 I don't.
01:34:35 Want to do?
01:34:36 Predictions and stuff like that, but I don't think things are going to be.
01:34:40 All of a sudden awesome this year.
01:34:45 Right from secularism.
01:34:47 Although you know, I will say.
01:34:49 I've noticed a.
01:34:52 A substantial amount of backpedaling.
01:34:55 In the mainstream media.
01:34:58 As it concerns things like.
01:35:03 Mask wearing and lockdowns and stuff like that.
01:35:06 All of a sudden there's magically people saying maybe this is stupid.
01:35:12 So that's who knows.
01:35:15 Secularists, well, looks like Gislaine and Epstein have been sacrificed to the gods.
01:35:21 We can all sleep soundly now.
01:35:23 I'm sure there was nothing in those sealed files worth looking at.
01:35:26 I'm sure the elites are shaking in their boots and not laughing at us.
01:35:30 Time for to stuff my face back into the feeding or into the feed bag.
01:35:37 Total win for us.
01:35:38 No, exactly.
01:35:39 People, people that think that.
01:35:42 I mean, look.
01:35:44 I guess it's better than her.
01:35:45 Not it's better than her getting.
01:35:47 I don't know.
01:35:48 Maybe it wouldn't be better.
01:35:49 Maybe it be better if she was found not guilty, cuz that would.
01:35:53 See people.
01:35:55 Here's something I need to explain.
01:35:58 There are people that get very upset with me for quote UN quote black Pilling people and demoralizing people.
01:36:07 It's not me doing that.
01:36:09 It's reality.
01:36:15 Do you think that there's no?
01:36:17 Method to this madness.
01:36:21 Do you think that?
01:36:24 When I tell people about how bad things are.
01:36:27 I'm I'm rubbing my hands together and thinking, yeah.
01:36:31 Give up goy ha ha ha ha.
01:36:33 Give up.
01:36:35 You have lost who?
01:36:36 Ha ha ha.
01:36:40 Do you really think that's that's the what?
01:36:43 I think that that is the value that I'm bringing.
01:36:51 And if I was saying give up, what exactly am I telling people to?
01:36:55 Give up on.
01:37:06 Give up on life.
01:37:19 We're venturing into territory where I can't be more explicit, but.
01:37:23 For those of you who watched the my my spot on millennial.
01:37:30 I mentioned something about the Lincoln Memorial.
01:37:37 That I think is relevant here anyway.
01:37:42 Let's take a look here.
01:37:47 1488 from Good little boy. I hope you painted the pillbox black.
01:37:54 I I didn't.
01:37:55 Well, I'll tell you what I wish there was a way that in the winter the pill box would turn black because that would give.
01:38:02 Me a lot.
01:38:03 More heat.
01:38:07 It's been very cold the last few nights.
01:38:10 And uh.
01:38:12 The space heater that I've got at.
01:38:13 My feet right now it only does so much.
01:38:17 And it just turned off, actually synchronicity.
01:38:23 You know, I guess.
01:38:25 Space heaters time out now because they think they're going to burn your house.
01:38:28 Down or something, but thank you.
01:38:29 For the donation of 1488.
01:38:33 Pebble in the pond $25 Happy New Year Devin. Happy New Year to you and yours.
01:38:40 Cringe Panda, $10 cringe panda here when you back on Gab, I missed talking to you. I found out the exact moment in time where TV writers completely gave up on humanizing white supremacist characters. It was in 1987 sent you a link to the video through Gab.
01:39:00 If you thought the quantum leap was bad, you'll be shocked.
01:39:04 Well, I'll be very interested in in checking that out.
01:39:07 Yeah, I've just. I've been.
01:39:09 Basically 100% off the Internet as much as possible, as much as humanly possible.
01:39:13 In fact, it wasn't my choice.
01:39:15 The other day the Internet just didn't work for like a day it was, which is kind.
01:39:19 Of fun.
01:39:21 You know, but I've.
01:39:23 I've just.
01:39:24 I needed a break.
01:39:25 I needed a break.
01:39:27 I needed to get, you know, unplugged for a little bit because I've been doing this well as of now.
01:39:35 I've been doing this for a year.
01:39:37 When I first started doing the insomnia stream really longer than a year, but like regularly for a year and when I first started doing insomnia stream, I did it every night.
01:39:47 For 29th straight, you know, going to January 20th, right for the, you know, Biden's getting swear. Swear his his swearing in.
01:39:59 That's that's kind of what started.
01:40:00 It was everyone was saying that Trump was going to become president.
01:40:04 And, you know, all this **** that everyone was totally.
01:40:07 Everyone was wrong about.
01:40:09 And everyone that you.
01:40:11 Know the same people, by the way.
01:40:13 The same ******* voices you hear saying?
01:40:16 No, you're just black peeling people.
01:40:20 Those same voices.
01:40:23 Back in January, when I was saying Trump is not going to become president.
01:40:29 I really don't think.
01:40:30 He's going to cross the Rubicon.
01:40:31 To be awesome, if he did.
01:40:34 And all the same people.
01:40:35 Oh, you're just black.
01:40:36 Peeling people. Yeah, well.
01:40:40 Here we are, right?
01:40:41 Unless he's secretly.
01:40:43 You know, wearing a Biden suit and all this other nonsense.
01:40:47 I'll get back to you on Gab.
01:40:49 I've just.
01:40:49 I haven't even been on the Internet.
01:40:52 At all, I've just I've.
01:40:54 Avoided it like the plague.
01:40:57 I've got a lot of lot of stuff done.
01:40:59 I didn't realize how.
01:41:00 Much see this thing?
01:41:01 Too you guys.
01:41:02 It's not just when I'm live that this is consuming my day.
01:41:07 I have to, you know, I'm doing research and I'm writing stuff out.
01:41:12 I'm not just winging it some well some nights.
01:41:16 Out of necessity, some nights I'm just winging it.
01:41:19 But I'm usually not just winging it, you know it it this this takes, especially if I'm doing, you know, a three hour stream.
01:41:27 It takes a.
01:41:28 Substantial amount of time to prepare for it and and just generally being in the know as to what the hell is going on so that you can inform people about it and stuff like that.
01:41:40 It takes up a lot of your energy and it's it was nice to take a break.
01:41:43 I'm back in the game now.
01:41:45 I'm back in.
01:41:45 The saddle.
01:41:46 But it was nice to have a little break, so I'll take a look at.
01:41:49 That maybe after the stream.
01:41:52 UM.
01:41:53 But yeah, I I will be very excited, especially if it's from you said it's from the 80s or something 1987.
01:42:01 Yeah, I I still get.
01:42:02 I still wax nostalgic.
01:42:04 I was gonna do.
01:42:05 I almost did a Christmas stream and and just things happen.
01:42:08 I ended up not being able to do it.
01:42:10 It was I.
01:42:11 It wasn't my choice, really, but one of the movies that I that's from around that time, in fact.
01:42:18 Am I from the same year, I think there's a movie called the Santa Claus or or.
01:42:23 It was an 80s.
01:42:24 That was relatively big budget.
01:42:28 I remember watching on TV, not in the theaters.
01:42:32 But I was going to go over that.
01:42:36 Just because it's so.
01:42:37 It's so ******* anyway.
01:42:39 Maybe. Maybe next year.
01:42:42 But thank you for that cringe Panda.
01:42:46 Cause Casa chalk Casa Chuck.
01:42:50 I think I'm saying that right, $20. Hi, Devin, Long time listener, first time caller. Just curious if there are Radio night show, Radio night show personalities out there.
01:43:02 You draw inspiration from in your formatting of for your show, and if there are other podcasts, etcetera active right now that you'd recommend to your audience.
01:43:12 Thank you.
01:43:12 Pleasure to listen to you know, people always ask me about other content creators and it it might seem like I'm dodging the question and I'm not.
01:43:21 It's just that I a I really don't listen to a lot of.
01:43:26 Other stuff I.
01:43:26 Mean growing up, I listen to like a lot of, you know, weird stuff.
01:43:29 I listen.
01:43:30 To like coast to coast.
01:43:31 I listen to a lot of talk radio.
01:43:33 I don't know.
01:43:34 I mean, I'm sure in some ways that influenced me a little bit.
01:43:38 But you know, I think the format of streaming is is way different than doing a radio show.
01:43:45 Well, I don't know.
01:43:46 It would have been interesting to do a radio show.
01:43:48 I guess to see but the.
01:43:52 It's really just I don't have a lot of time and the other part of it is my Internet doesn't work during the day for streaming, so I can't stream anything until in the middle of.
01:44:02 The night.
01:44:04 And so it's just usually whatever I.
01:44:07 Can find that's kind of long.
01:44:09 I'll play in the middle.
01:44:10 Of the night while I work on.
01:44:13 If I'm up otherwise I have to try to like really plan for it and download it at night and listen to it during the day and it just doesn't work out.
01:44:21 The other thing is too, there are people that I listen to, but I don't want to necessarily endorse because, you know, like I or or leave out, you know, like let's say I mentioned.
01:44:33 So this guy is really good, but then I don't mention this other part.
01:44:35 You know, I just.
01:44:36 I I.
01:44:38 So I don't know.
01:44:39 I I just don't want to be.
01:44:41 I don't want to be influencing which which other people that you like.
01:44:45 I mean, you like who you like.
01:44:47 I don't think it would surprise anybody.
01:44:50 I probably listen to a lot of the same stuff that.
01:44:51 You guys do when I do.
01:44:54 I think it would be fun.
01:44:55 To have, in fact, I'll tell you what I'll tell you what you should do.
01:45:00 Millennial, Speaking of millennial, you know again that I was on, if you haven't checked it out, I recommend.
01:45:06 Checking it out.
01:45:08 But millennial was every year.
01:45:09 For those of you who don't know, puts on this thing called millennial.
01:45:13 And it was on Odyssey this year.
01:45:15 And it was really good this year.
01:45:17 And he has all these different people on his channel and they do like it.
01:45:24 Ranging between 1:00 to maybe 3 hours or so, and he and he did.
01:45:30 You know, sometimes 3 or so a day and it like, every day for a while, for like a couple weeks.
01:45:39 So there's a lot of them, right.
01:45:40 And they're they're very long.
01:45:43 I do pop into to those streams and listen to new people that maybe.
01:45:48 I haven't heard of.
01:45:49 Or or people I have heard of before but forgot about because they got banned from YouTube and now they're on Odyssey.
01:45:57 Or whatever and.
01:45:58 And now, at least now you have the link to their their channel and stuff like that.
01:46:05 It's, I would say, why not?
01:46:07 It's kind of like a all you can eat buffet.
01:46:11 So you can go there and check out all the different flavors and see what you like.
01:46:14 So that's that's a good place to.
01:46:16 Start. How about that?
01:46:21 Fewer from Persona 22222 falls on a Wednesday, so it would be a a stream night.
01:46:29 Also driving on the night or on the right side of the road is the correct way.
01:46:34 Yes, it is the correct way.
01:46:36 And it makes sense that one actually makes more sense because you shift with your right hand.
01:46:44 Like if you're in a British car and you're driving, so the driver's side is on the right side, you're shifting with your left hand like a ******.
01:46:55 So that's that.
01:46:57 I mean right there, that's all the reason you need to know.
01:47:03 Barrick Mctavish, $5, eliminate eliminating some magic boxes from my life this year trying to work on myself so I can make a positive impact on the community. I feel like a lot of young guys in this movement just want to ship, post and complain.
01:47:22 Right, because, well, that's the easiest thing to do.
01:47:26 That's the easiest thing to do.
01:47:29 And there are a lot of people that don't have any practical knowledge.
01:47:33 And you know there look there and there's age group specific to there are some people.
01:47:40 That's all they want to do because they're they're punk kids.
01:47:43 They're like, you know.
01:47:44 The damn kids get off.
01:47:45 My lawn kids, you know, like, look, I was doing way worse.
01:47:49 When I was a damn kid.
01:47:52 So you can only expect so much from certain people, but absolutely younger.
01:47:56 You can get started in eliminating magic boxes.
01:47:59 The better.
01:47:59 I mean I I dove head first into computers when I was.
01:48:03 You know, when I was.
01:48:05 Like even before I was a teenager, my dad brought home a a discarded luggable portable computer.
01:48:15 For those of you who are old, you, you might barely remember these.
01:48:18 They were old for.
01:48:19 Yeah, that's the whole reason why he got it cuz it was.
01:48:22 Free because they were getting rid of it.
01:48:23 But it looked like one of those sewing machines.
01:48:26 You know, the the big ***.
01:48:27 It was like a suitcase.
01:48:30 But it was heavy as **** and you would set down this giant suitcase and then unscrew the bottom and a keyboard would come off and there'd be like this little tiny monitor that was green.
01:48:44 So monochrome monitor maybe maybe 5 inches and then it had two giant, you know, 5 and 1/4.
01:48:50 Floppy disk drives.
01:48:52 And that was the first PC I got to use my.
01:48:57 My grandpa gave us because he worked for the California school system and because back in the day Apple was just giving, you know, giving away Apple computers to the California education system.
01:49:11 So he got an apple.
01:49:11 Two, that he gave us when we were, you know, real little.
01:49:17 And so I started using computers.
01:49:20 When most people didn't have access to 1.
01:49:23 UM and 1st on the Apple 2E and then on the on a it was. I think it was like a A an 8088 which in it for those of you remember 386 is and then 486 and then a 586 or you know they.
01:49:37 Called the Pentium, this would be like a zero 80.
01:49:40 6:00 so it was.
01:49:43 You know the the 8088 and I just remember playing with that stuff and and trying to figure out that stuff and because a lot of the technology I did get access to, it broke a lot because it was used.
01:49:56 That helped out with in terms that forced me to learn how these systems work.
01:50:01 Or in when I first got my first computer that was mine.
01:50:04 That wasn't just like some discarded ***** ** ****.
01:50:07 I built it.
01:50:09 Because that was the cheapest way to.
01:50:10 Do it.
01:50:11 And I could get all the parts that I wanted and that forced me to understand, you know, how that worked.
01:50:17 And some of the parts I got for free because they were used and stuff like that.
01:50:21 So, you know, being poor actually forces you to understand the magic box a lot more might with my phone.
01:50:30 Like, look, the phones are not real.
01:50:32 Really super serviceable, but there are certain things that you can do.
01:50:38 I've replaced the screen myself on a couple of phones.
01:50:42 I've replaced the battery on lots of phones.
01:50:45 I have to replace the battery on a tablet.
01:50:48 Pretty soon?
01:50:49 Well, pretty much it's it's useless right now until I do.
01:50:54 It's not that hard.
01:50:56 It's really not you got.
01:50:57 To think of.
01:50:57 It when you take your phone to like those kiosks.
01:51:01 It's it's like some illegal immigrant fixing it in like 20 minutes, right?
01:51:07 So how hard can it be?
01:51:09 And it's not that hard.
01:51:11 And the parts are super super cheap.
01:51:16 So by being by being kind of ghetto.
01:51:20 And trying to be stingy and and cut corners on the on the money tip.
01:51:25 That's the thing.
01:51:26 It saves you a ton of money getting rid of these magic.
01:51:29 Boxes now at the same time it's a balancing act.
01:51:34 You have to decide how much is your time worth.
01:51:37 Yeah, you could save some money fixing this thing yourself, but if it's going to take you 10 times as long as it would to just have someone come in and do it, as long as you understand it, that's OK, you know.
01:51:49 It's OK to to delegate that to someone else if you understand it.
01:51:57 Let's take a look here.
01:52:02 Aim for greatness $5. I have been watching every episode of The Simpsons and a lot of things you have said have helped me in my analysis.
01:52:12 Anyways, in terms of the actual quality of the show, I think it was only good for the first six seasons decline for the next 5 and then.
01:52:21 Became zombie Simpsons.
01:52:23 What do you think?
01:52:27 I'd have to I I don't know at what point.
01:52:31 I I thought it was it was bad the entire time, because really the thing was it the whole point of it was it was to be irreverent.
01:52:39 And even when it was.
01:52:40 A short during the Tracey Ullman Show, because that's how it started out, right.
01:52:44 It used to be the Tracey Ullman Show would have these little 2 minute shorts of The Simpsons during her show, and even those they started out attacking Christianity pretty quick.
01:52:58 And and kind of attacking the family and promoting child abuse and like, yeah, it was bad from the get.
01:53:05 It got worse only because it could.
01:53:11 It got worse only because it could.
01:53:16 As the immune system of the host was worn down.
01:53:23 They were able to increase the rate of infection.
01:53:30 I've talked about pre code movies.
01:53:33 It sometimes can be a little bit shocking when you look at footage from movies from, say, like the 1920s and 30s.
01:53:41 You might be surprised when you see that some of these movies have stuff like nudity in them and, you know, sexual situations that you would have, you would think like, wow, like, you know, I I remember watching a movie from the 1950s and it was very wholesome. I didn't think that a movie that was even older would have all this degenerate.
01:54:00 Well, the only reason why they stopped doing that in the 1950s was because of the haze code. You had a a reaction.
01:54:08 You had the immune system of the society kick in, but they've always wanted to do the most degenerate **** they can get away with.
01:54:16 And The Simpsons is no different.
01:54:17 The reason they got worse is because they could get.
01:54:20 Away with it.
01:54:21 But they always wanted it to be as bad as possible. I mean, ******* the creator used to write on Epstein's Lolita Express.
01:54:30 No joke, I'm not making that.
01:54:31 Up he's Speaking of the Epsteins, right?
01:54:35 Matt Groaning or whatever you say his name.
01:54:40 He was on that plane.
01:54:41 In fact, I I think he was.
01:54:43 The wasn't he like the toe suck guy?
01:54:45 The guy who wanted his toes sucked by the kids.
01:54:49 I could be wrong about the toe suck thing, but I think I think that was him.
01:54:53 So I mean this, these, these disgusting ******* have you know they've always wanted to do them.
01:55:02 Wade Watts, $5 N.
01:55:08 NI.
01:55:13 App didn't $1.00. Did you grab a spot on the 24 hour free Ralph Stream on the 3rd?
01:55:20 Uh, no, I didn't know about it cause I've been Incognito.
01:55:24 Maybe he's trying to reach out to me.
01:55:25 He probably messaged me on Twitter because he might, because my Twitter account is still there.
01:55:30 I can.
01:55:31 I can.
01:55:31 I don't know how to talk to him.
01:55:33 Though because I don't have Twitter.
01:55:35 Yeah, yeah. Still ever.
01:55:38 Maybe I'll track him down on gab, but I'm sure I can pop in there.
01:55:44 Let's see here cringe panda again. $1.00, by the way, wouldn't you know it? British politicians are already talking about banning private car ownership.
01:55:53 Yes, just like in the last chase.
01:55:57 Yeah, the yeah.
01:55:59 You will own nothing and you will be happy.
01:56:01 They've been trying to get rid of private car ownership.
01:56:04 For a long time.
01:56:05 And I do think that the UK.
01:56:08 In the same way we've talked about how Australia is kind of a smaller market.
01:56:12 So it's where they can test market.
01:56:13 A lot of this stuff to see.
01:56:17 Anglos will react.
01:56:21 You know the UK is, is is also a good test market for some of this more authoritarian stuff and and always had they've always been ahead of the curve in terms of the the degeneracy allowed on TV, the amount of surveillance, the public is OK with, you know, having to get a license for everything.
01:56:40 And just, you know, just generally speaking less freedom.
01:56:46 It's always baffled me.
01:56:49 That that they've been they they it seems like there's always like a constant 20 year lead in bad things going on over there.
01:56:59 Like sever demographics, at least for right.
01:57:01 Now I mean.
01:57:01 They're they're way ahead of the game on demographics.
01:57:04 Thank God.
01:57:05 Like what is the number in the UK? I think they're still like 84% white or something.
01:57:09 Like that.
01:57:10 Which is shocking that that's still pretty low, right for a white like a not a a, not a quote UN quote nation of immigrants.
01:57:19 Like a literal White Island, you would think should be much closer to at least 95100.
01:57:26 But hey, I I would, I would.
01:57:27 Take 84.
01:57:28 Or whatever it is over what we've got here.
01:57:33 Iceberg 123 what are some decent 80s or 90s movies you recommend? Maybe not based, but tolerable ones.
01:57:44 I don't know.
01:57:45 I don't know if there's like decent.
01:57:48 I mean, decent is very relative.
01:57:50 Look, there's movies that I that I know are propaganda that have bad messages that I still like.
01:57:57 You know that I still enjoy as a work of art there there are comedies that I still laugh at, but again, this we're now we're in the territory, but I don't want to recommend something and.
01:58:11 And then you know.
01:58:13 And then it's it's awful and much.
01:58:16 Many of these movies are.
01:58:23 I don't know.
01:58:28 It's hard to say.
01:58:29 It's really hard to say.
01:58:32 I mean, I remember.
01:58:34 And a lot of these movies I haven't seen in a long time, there's a lot of movies I liked as a kid.
01:58:39 And then I go back and rewatch them.
01:58:40 And I'm like, wow.
01:58:41 You were.
01:58:41 A stupid ******* kid to ever have.
01:58:44 Like this?
01:58:46 You know, especially comedies.
01:58:48 You know a lot of stuff that seemed really hilarious when I was a kid.
01:58:51 I'm just like, oh, God, why?
01:58:53 Did I think this was funny?
01:58:55 I'm trying.
01:58:56 I'm actually just browsing through some here.
01:58:57 I'm trying to see if I can find at least one.
01:59:01 You know what, Ace?
01:59:02 I'm just kidding.
01:59:07 Double dragon.
01:59:13 I don't know.
01:59:15 I don't know.
01:59:16 I'll tell you what.
01:59:21 This is going to sound super gay, but it's probably wholesome.
01:59:24 I haven't watched this in a long time.
01:59:25 I'm just trying to think in terms of wholesome.
01:59:28 It it's it's more of a girl movie, but it would.
01:59:32 It's not so girly that you couldn't have your your male children watch it.
01:59:37 The Anna Green Gables movies.
01:59:39 I know, I know, I know.
01:59:42 Those were super wholesome.
01:59:48 And you can find those.
01:59:49 I think Disney put them out.
01:59:52 And they're very long.
01:59:52 There's like a I think there's two or three of them.
01:59:55 Or something.
01:59:56 My sisters used to really like those and one day and I hated them.
02:00:00 Right.
02:00:00 Because it was about some stupid girl and it is.
02:00:02 It's definitely feminist.
02:00:04 It's definitely feminist, but it's like 80s feminist, so it's not so bad.
02:00:09 And in the books were actually from the 1930s or 20s. Maybe even, I forget. But it's wholesome. Ish, right?
02:00:20 And I remember I finally was like, well, if you're going to watch this, I guess I have to watch this.
02:00:24 And I started watching it and it was like.
02:00:25 OK, it wasn't too bad, but yeah, it's kind of gay, I know.
02:00:31 I'm look, I'm sure there's lots of stuff I.
02:00:32 Just I'm drawing.
02:00:33 A blank maybe I'll maybe I can make a list.
02:00:35 I think you have.
02:00:36 To go way before 80s and 90s, though, for that to be something that's that's like if you want wholesome, you're probably going to go before 80s and 90s.
02:00:46 There's probably like little tiny things that are OK.
02:00:50 But generally speaking, 80s and 90s were not very wholesome.
02:00:56 Uh. Let's see here.
02:00:59 The plumber.
02:01:01 Do you have an opinion as to whether or not the Apollo missions ever went to the moon?
02:01:06 If yes, how much power would the radio transmitters have to have to be able to work on the moon?
02:01:12 Would that tech be available then?
02:01:16 Yeah, you would have the power to do it.
02:01:23 You're ohh.
02:01:24 OK, well, right now I can.
02:01:26 There's there's something in ham radio called Moon Bounce.
02:01:30 Where you can bounce a.
02:01:34 A UHF or VHF signal off the moon and so UHF VHF signals.
02:01:42 One of the reasons why they don't go long distances is.
02:01:47 They penetrate the atmosphere.
02:01:50 So an HF signal that would hit the ionosphere and then bounce back down and hit the earth and then bounce back up and hit the ionosphere or tunnel through the ionosphere or whatever.
02:02:00 But it would get a lot of it, would gets trapped.
02:02:03 In the ionosphere and then it comes down to.
02:02:06 Earth somewhere else?
02:02:07 That doesn't happen with higher frequencies, higher frequencies just punch right through it and go out into space and.
02:02:14 You know, eventually disappear or what you.
02:02:16 Know they die out.
02:02:19 But what you can do if you are spend a lot of time to do the math and.
02:02:24 Everything else is you can make a beam antenna and you can point it exactly at the moon, and so there.
02:02:32 That therefore you're kind of using the moon as a repeater.
02:02:37 So instead of a repeater on the top of a mountain bridging the gap between you and someone on the other side of the mountain, you're you're bouncing your signal off the moon, and then it's coming back down and hitting someone you know on the ground.
02:02:55 So that technology.
02:03:00 Prior to.
02:03:02 The moon landing.
02:03:03 The thing about the radio stuff that makes me scratch my head.
02:03:10 There is a I'll have to find this.
02:03:12 I've brought this up before.
02:03:13 I know it exists.
02:03:14 Because I've seen it.
02:03:16 But there was a clip that a guy he was doing a documentary on the Moon landing.
02:03:20 It wasn't even a skeptical documentary.
02:03:22 He was just doing a documentary and he requested a bunch of film reels from NASA, and in doing so he got a a film reel that was marked not for public consumption on the the leader of the film reel.
02:03:35 And he was like, oh, that's weird.
02:03:37 And on that film reel, there is a a scene that had been seen before.
02:03:42 It was the astronauts communicating with Houston, but there's a third voice on the audio track on this film reel.
02:03:51 Where you can clearly hear someone telling that the astronauts when they respond.
02:03:58 And you might think, well, that's what's the point of that, you know well, the point of that is radio waves travel at the speed of light.
02:04:06 And so there's there's a delay when you're that far when you were going.
02:04:12 To the moon.
02:04:13 There's there's enough of a delay, even though it's going the speed of light.
02:04:19 Where it's it, it's significant, right?
02:04:23 And so if you were only, let's just say you were in Earth's orbit.
02:04:28 And someone was talking to you on the radio.
02:04:32 The delay that there would be between you and that person would be much shorter than the the delay if you were by the moon.
02:04:43 And the suggestion is that it's possible.
02:04:48 What we're looking at on that film is that third voice is.
02:04:55 Telling the astronauts when to respond to account for a delay that that doesn't, that doesn't, that it doesn't really exist, in other words.
02:05:07 It it would be weird if the astronauts were responding to questions that if you did the math, they wouldn't.
02:05:15 Have heard yet?
02:05:18 And you got to remember this.
02:05:19 There's transmissions were things that could be heard by other people.
02:05:25 They weren't encrypted.
02:05:28 So ham radio operators, other governments, you could TuneIn to the frequencies that that Houston were you know that.
02:05:36 They were on.
02:05:38 And listen to their communications.
02:05:42 And the only way?
02:05:44 I mean, it would be weird again if you heard that if you're if you were listening, let's say you're Russia or someone else and you're listening to these communications and you hear the astronauts communicating quicker than they should have been able to.
02:05:58 You could do the math and say, oh, well, they're not by the moon.
02:06:02 They're like in, in low orbit or, you know whatever, right?
02:06:07 So I think that's that's a really weird thing.
02:06:10 There's also a clip of they throw a wrench.
02:06:15 And it hits the side of the lunar Lander or it hits?
02:06:18 Something and you hear it go.
02:06:20 Bong, you know or.
02:06:21 Whatever sound is not supposed to travel.
02:06:24 And that's according to NASA, not.
02:06:25 I mean, I don't know, but that's what NASA says.
02:06:27 NASA says that sound does not travel on the surface of the moon.
02:06:34 So why do I hear that Bong sound of the wrench hitting the Lander?
02:06:41 It shouldn't be traveling now unless it's being picked up on a microphone in the Lander, which is possible I guess.
02:06:50 But it just seems like a weird thing.
02:06:53 There's a couple of weird things like that.
02:06:55 I I I don't know.
02:06:57 I don't know if we've been there or not.
02:06:58 I think that it's weird that we haven't gone back.
02:07:03 That's another big weird one with how much technology has progressed.
02:07:08 Why is it that we haven't gone back now?
02:07:11 One explanation simply could be because of the IQ brain drain.
02:07:17 You know, people like to say like, oh, technology has progressed so much.
02:07:24 Has it really?
02:07:28 Has it real now?
02:07:29 Think about it now that might sound.
02:07:30 Insane. Devin, what are you talking about? Of course. Technology has gone crazy since the 1960s.
02:07:38 If you compare.
02:07:40 1900.
02:07:42 To 1960.
02:07:46 And the innovations that took place between 1900 and 1960.
02:07:51 And then you compare 1960.
02:07:54 In 2020.
02:07:57 Where's the real innovation taking place?
02:08:02 Has have cars fundamentally changed in the last 100 years?
02:08:10 I mean, I guess you have some electric cars, but.
02:08:12 Even that's not.
02:08:13 New that's not something that didn't exist prior to 1960.
02:08:19 Have firearms fundamentally changed?
02:08:22 Do we have laser guns now?
02:08:23 Not really.
02:08:25 I mean, you have theoretical stuff, but I mean functionally, what the technology that that works that people use.
02:08:34 Has the only thing that's really changed.
02:08:38 Has been computing power.
02:08:45 And that's just a a result of semiconductors becoming more and more efficient and smaller and and and stuff like that.
02:08:53 I mean, so it's getting smaller and smaller and faster.
02:08:58 But it's not the same kind of an innovation change as going from no computer to computer.
02:09:06 We we haven't had any huge leaps.
02:09:08 Has air travel changed fundamentally?
02:09:13 Since 1960, I mean, ****, I think we they're still planes up in the air. They were built in the 60s.
02:09:23 You see what?
02:09:23 I mean like, it's easy to say, oh, we've had all these crazy technological advances since the 1960s.
02:09:31 But have we really?
02:09:38 You know, like if you if it's really just limited to computers.
02:09:45 And it's limited to it's really just.
02:09:49 Computing power.
02:09:50 It's just we can store more data, we can store it faster, we can process it faster.
02:09:57 But as a concept.
02:09:59 You know computers as a concept work the same.
02:10:02 Way they did.
02:10:03 In the 70s, maybe not the 60s, but like the 70s.
02:10:08 You know, they have fundamentally change.
02:10:11 We don't have, we don't have the quantum computer that has, you know, changed everything.
02:10:15 I mean they they talk about it, right.
02:10:20 There's like some prototypes that can sort of do, like really limited things.
02:10:26 But there hasn't been that same leap in innovation there.
02:10:29 We haven't gone from like.
02:10:31 You know, 1900, where everyone's riding a ******* horse.
02:10:35 And what's a computer?
02:10:37 And you know, like going from that?
02:10:41 To 1960.
02:10:43 Is an insane amount of of advancements.
02:10:47 Compared to 1960 to now, it just seems like more.
02:10:53 From 1960 to now, because so much of your time and so much of what you do is.
02:11:00 Spent focused on the one area where it did advance a lot.
02:11:05 You know the computer.
02:11:08 You know the the computer I've got right here is is like, wildly more sophisticated than anything that they would have even dreamed of, maybe in 1960.
02:11:21 But my car, I mean ****. Well, one of my cars is basically from the 1960s.
02:11:27 And it's not fundamentally different than my car that it's not, you know, like there's, you know, the cars are the same. My rifle is the same as a rifle that would be in the 1960s.
02:11:38 You know, there's little improvements here and there.
02:11:41 You can say to things, but there's not really a whole lot of fundamental changes or innovations that have taken place.
02:11:49 In the last, you know 50 years, that again.
02:11:54 Aside from computers.
02:11:58 So it's, uh, I don't know.
02:12:02 I don't know.
02:12:03 I and you got to remember, too.
02:12:04 The people according to the official narrative that got us on the moon.
02:12:08 We're like the best of the best Nazi scientists, right?
02:12:12 Like the like the smart.
02:12:13 Basically the smartest white people on the planet.
02:12:18 And so is it crazy to think that now that we don't have the smartest white people on the planet working on this problem that we're not as good at, we're not as good at solving it?
02:12:31 I don't know.
02:12:32 I think it's entirely possible we didn't go.
02:12:34 I think it's possible that if we did go it, it wasn't the way that they said that we went.
02:12:41 There is that weird thing about the moon rock that ended up being petrified wood.
02:12:45 You know, looked that up.
02:12:46 If you have never heard of it, there was a a moon rock that the United States government gave to, I forget which government now, but some European Government and they test that it it's petrified wood and not because there was a forest on the.
02:12:59 Moon, but because.
02:13:01 It wasn't really a moon rock.
02:13:06 So we were giving fake moon rocks to people.
02:13:10 I mean, so there's something shady with that.
02:13:15 People have made a big deal about the phone call from the Moon to would it be Nixon?
02:13:23 I'd have to look at that, that there would be lag.
02:13:26 There would be substantial lag.
02:13:28 Going to the moon.
02:13:32 I'd have to take it.
02:13:33 I've never watched that video.
02:13:35 But I guess that'd be one thing you could do.
02:13:37 You could time out the lag and see if they ever answer.
02:13:41 What he's saying before they would have.
02:13:43 Right.
02:13:45 And if they do, then there you go.
02:13:50 Because you can calculate that easy, you can calculate.
02:13:53 I mean it's the speed of light, right?
02:13:55 So you can calculate the how long it takes, the speed of light to go from the surface of the earth to the surface of the moon.
02:14:03 And then back again.
02:14:05 And then you would know and there even there probably even more lag because then it has to go to the phone system and everything else.
02:14:11 So you'd.
02:14:11 Have you'd?
02:14:12 Probably have again substantial lag.
02:14:14 That'd be one way to to check it out.
02:14:16 I don't look at that video, but I don't know.
02:14:18 There's no.
02:14:19 It's one of those things.
02:14:20 It's like the Vegas shooting.
02:14:21 We'll never ******* know.
02:14:24 And it doesn't really advance the football for us, so it's not something that it's worth obsessing over.
02:14:32 Let's take a look here.
02:14:37 Radu, with the holidays, I was reminded how blind are are are people to Netflix.
02:14:44 People really believe they are smart if they watch Netflix?
02:14:48 That's a scary thought, but I could see that I could see people thinking that that they're being they're they're a sophisticated audience member because they have Netflix.
02:15:00 Look, there was, I would say there was some degree of that when Netflix first came out in the same way that people thought they were special.
02:15:06 If they had a Gmail account, but back when you had to get on a waiting list, you had to be referred.
02:15:12 And then you had to be on a waiting like it was, it was all marketing shenanigans.
02:15:17 But it made people feel.
02:15:19 I remember when I got cause I you know, I was in the I was in the game back then.
02:15:23 So I had a Gmail.
02:15:24 Address like one of the first ones.
02:15:27 I remember telling someone my e-mail address and they like, were they were impressed, like somehow that they're like.
02:15:32 Whoa. Gmail, huh?
02:15:35 And it was just some random like it wasn't like some computer person.
02:15:38 I was like, filling out a form at, like a bank or something.
02:15:41 And the and the the the normy that was taking my information.
02:15:46 Down was just like whoa, fancy Gmail.
02:15:53 So like.
02:15:54 Yeah, that is what it is.
02:15:56 Cringe Panda speaking out of the last chase, did you ever finish it?
02:16:00 What did you think?
02:16:01 I haven't finished it.
02:16:01 I got almost to the end.
02:16:04 But I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll take it.
02:16:06 I'll finish it up.
02:16:07 It's it's on my list.
02:16:10 It's just it, it's.
02:16:12 Not a lie.
02:16:12 It's a little boring.
02:16:16 I get why you like it.
02:16:17 I get why you like it.
02:16:18 And there are some cool things, but it's just the the the made for TV 80s vibe.
02:16:27 Just kind of rubs me the wrong way a little bit because it's like like you're you're younger than me.
02:16:32 So for you it's like so old.
02:16:35 There's like an appeal to it.
02:16:36 And for me it's like.
02:16:39 It's just old enough to be like old seeming, you know? Like it's hard to explain. It's kind of like UM.
02:16:46 Yeah, it's I I don't.
02:16:47 Know I think it's because.
02:16:49 You're younger than I am that it seems cooler.
02:16:52 It seems because it's it's further back in time for you.
02:16:55 It's before you were born.
02:16:56 I think I was like, alive when they made it.
02:16:58 Maybe I'd have to look at the date on it.
02:17:02 And so for me, it just seems like old and.
02:17:04 It doesn't seem like old and and prehistoric.
02:17:09 And so, you know, and it's Lee Majors.
02:17:11 And and that kid and I don't know.
02:17:14 But yeah, it's I might.
02:17:17 I might go over it.
02:17:18 There are some.
02:17:18 You definitely make some good points.
02:17:20 There's some good aspects.
02:17:21 To it.
02:17:22 $2.00 aim for greatness. While I agree that a lot of these shows, like The Simpsons, have had bad messaging from the beginning, it's just that I look at these things in two ways, which is 1.
02:17:34 Exposing the bad message to looking at the story, comedy, etc.
02:17:38 Regardless of 1 as I find it fun, The Simpsons is guilty of or is a guilty pleasure for me.
02:17:46 Yeah, I mean, look, some of the writing was good.
02:17:49 If you're looking at just simply in the quality of the writing, yeah, the quality of the writing of The Simpsons has, as with everything, has gone downhill.
02:17:57 And that's a that's a, I think in response to the the dumbing down of the audience.
02:18:04 You know why?
02:18:05 You know, keep it simple, stupid.
02:18:07 You know why?
02:18:07 Why have some ultra sophisticated writing if if the the Super dumbed down writing does the trick and sells the ad space and and subverts the audience just as easily.
02:18:20 The plumber.
02:18:20 I think the reason Tech hasn't changed since the 60s is due to the fact that Einstein won Tesla lost and we need a better understanding of how the universe actually works.
02:18:32 I believe we live in a science or an electric universe rather than a matter based universe.
02:18:38 Yeah, you you know very well could be right.
02:18:42 It's, you know, I have electricity is a fascinating thing.
02:18:48 It's the closest thing to magic that I have experienced.
02:18:52 In real life.
02:18:53 That's another reason why it's it's so important to get hands on experience with some of these complex systems.
02:19:00 Is when you really start to look at how electricity is doing things in a circuit and the things that it's doing and how how little we really understand why some of these things happen.
02:19:16 I mean just simple things like just just the transformer.
02:19:21 Just the fact that if you.
02:19:23 Coil wire like this blow blew my mind when I first learned it.
02:19:28 You know, as a kid, I was like, how does it's like magic?
02:19:30 Because it is.
02:19:30 It's like magic.
02:19:32 If you coil a copper wire.
02:19:37 Run electricity through it.
02:19:40 And then you coil another copper wire.
02:19:43 And you don't touch it, you just put it next to the other coil.
02:19:46 The the copper wire with electricity going through it.
02:19:49 Electricity magically goes into the.
02:19:53 Other copper wire.
02:19:56 Yeah, I know it's not magic, but you know, I mean, like, there's so many things like and.
02:19:59 And when they first started researching this stuff, and even when they were using it practically, they didn't understand a lot of it.
02:20:04 They didn't.
02:20:05 It was magic.
02:20:07 They didn't know why that happened.
02:20:09 They were just like, wow, that's weird.
02:20:10 So if I.
02:20:12 If I just coil a wire and shoot electricity through it, it'll just magically appear on this other wire that's next to it.
02:20:19 That's insanity, but all right.
02:20:21 And and you would they would a lot of the stuff they would find practical uses for before they actually understood like, what's the what's actually happening here, you know, what's the phenomenon that's taking place that makes this happen?
02:20:33 And there's a lot of that with with electronics.
02:20:36 And and it's just impressive to me when I work on vintage electronics, knowing how little they understood a lot of this stuff and it was more of just like, well, we don't know why this happens, but it does.
02:20:48 And so so we're.
02:20:50 Going we're going to use it.
02:20:52 So anyway.
02:20:55 UM.
02:21:00 Aim for greatness, $1.00 also last thing you ever feel that all movies and shows follow the same boring template like all you mean romantic movies and all high school movies feel the same. Television has always been ****. From bland sitcoms to crap reality show. I mean, you could say.
02:21:20 You know even.
02:21:22 Fiction going all the way back to, you know, even the parables that Jesus would would would teach.
02:21:27 There's a story structure to everything.
02:21:31 There's there's a way that it's a technology.
02:21:35 It's basically when you tell a story, you are communicating to a brain and there are certain protocols that the brain wants that information to be communicated and for it to receive it in the same way that like languages, right?
02:21:55 You know, we have different languages.
02:21:58 And we have different Internet protocols, you know, like there's networking protocols.
02:22:03 And there's it's just, that's all that it is.
02:22:07 What you're seeing is the the the story structure is a a protocol.
02:22:13 That is compatible with human brains.
02:22:17 That's why you can easily.
02:22:21 Have you can have all the same information.
02:22:24 And you could.
02:22:25 Have two different movies.
02:22:27 That have all the exact same information.
02:22:30 And justice, through clumsy editing and through, uh, bad directing.
02:22:36 Even if the script is almost identical in terms of dialogue and everything else.
02:22:41 One movie won't get the message across.
02:22:43 It'll be.
02:22:44 It'll seem confusing because of shot selection because of any number of things can go wrong.
02:22:50 And it will be ineffective and crap, whereas the other movie will feel, in fact, it will be so effective, it'll feel good watching it.
02:23:00 You'll get a dopamine because it's so compatible with your brain.
02:23:04 The protocol it's using is tailor made for your brain.
02:23:08 It makes your brain happy just watching it.
02:23:13 So that's what you're seeing is just when they find a protocol that works.
02:23:19 They're just reusing that because they know it works.
02:23:24 You know, keep it simple, stupid.
02:23:25 Why reinvent the wheel?
02:23:29 You know why?
02:23:30 Try to why try to solve this problem with this hyper exotic sophisticated solution when we know.
02:23:38 That this works, it worked before.
02:23:39 We'll just repackage it, it will work.
02:23:41 Again, and it does.
02:23:44 There was a book that was going around back in the day.
02:23:47 Probably still is that used to get rave reviews and it was everyone was supposed.
02:23:53 If you're going to write scripts.
02:23:56 You need to get this this book called Save the cat.
02:24:01 It was called save the cat and it broke down like the most basic.
02:24:07 Story structure that most films had and it would teach writers to write in a format that was a protocol that was tried and true that the brain was compatible.
02:24:22 And then like after like 20 ******* years and you could see the influence, the movies that you would watch after that book got big reflected the information that was in that book, they it started making movies all seem the same because they were.
02:24:35 They was all the every writer had read that book.
02:24:37 And they started just making.
02:24:41 They were written in the format that book described and all the way to the point where, like almost like 10 years later, I think it's an article talking about like getting mad of the book saying This is why every ******* movie is the same now.
02:24:53 Because of this ******* book.
02:24:57 But it's it works.
02:24:59 It works.
02:25:01 And because it's kind of what it goes back to what we were talking about with the stream about having hands on experience.
02:25:08 Because it worked.
02:25:10 It was an academic answer to the problem.
02:25:14 You know, like, why take a risk?
02:25:17 Why get your hands dirty?
02:25:19 Why try to experiment?
02:25:21 Why try to troubleshoot a new format, a new kind of a storyline, a new kind of a a movie?
02:25:29 Why take that risk?
02:25:33 When you can just do this real quick and.
02:25:35 It will work.
02:25:39 And there's no risk involved at all because it's it's it's.
02:25:43 It's just this proven go to.
02:25:47 Format anyway.
02:25:51 Let's see here, man.
02:25:52 Every time I think I'm done.
02:25:53 You guys have more over here.
02:25:56 Let's see also.
02:26:01 $20 from soy pilled. There is a very black Pilling movie called Compliance that shows how **** the average normally really is.
02:26:10 It's a true story and I had to stop the movie three times to look up the details because I couldn't believe it really happened.
02:26:17 The director did.
02:26:18 Another one called the hunt.
02:26:21 Though sound familiar, compliance and the hunt, the hunt sounds more familiar.
02:26:29 I'll take a look.
02:26:30 At those.
02:26:33 Soy pill $20 again. Thank you, everyone. **** all over it before it released, including Trump, who seemed like he was told to.
02:26:42 It's about a group of liberals who hunt down because, oh, I remember this.
02:26:46 Yeah, I might have even done a.
02:26:48 Stream on it, hunt down conservatives and.
02:26:51 The hero is a conservative.
02:26:54 It's supposed to be a satire, but after watching both movies, I'm starting to think it's secretly based.
02:27:01 I don't think I saw it.
02:27:03 I think I just.
02:27:03 Saw it because.
02:27:04 There were there were issues with it being released.
02:27:08 And I didn't realize it had come out.
02:27:11 But I did see clips of it.
02:27:13 I'd be surprised if usually think just as a general rule, usually things are not secretly based.
02:27:19 I'm just I again, I haven't seen it.
02:27:21 Maybe I'm wrong.
02:27:22 I haven't seen it as a general rule, most things are not secretly based.
02:27:29 Cringe Panda, 3336. I use a prepaid card to send super chats and here goes. All that's left. Well, I appreciate.
02:27:37 It I've rewatched 50 of your video streams in the last.
02:27:41 Week geez.
02:27:45 That's a lot and have to give.
02:27:47 They have to give back.
02:27:48 I'm going through a very tough times and just happy that you've been there for me.
02:27:53 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
02:27:55 Well, that sucks.
02:27:56 You're under a tough time and I'm glad that my, my, my 50s streams.
02:28:03 I could help out.
02:28:05 And yeah, I appreciate it.
02:28:07 All right, guys.
02:28:08 Well, with that, where are we at time wise?
02:28:10 I think that that pretty much does it.
02:28:14 I think with that we're going.
02:28:15 To wrap things up.
02:28:17 Oh, Speaking of cringe panda, there one of things we were talking about.
02:28:24 We still want to do that crowdsourced.
02:28:28 Day of the rope movie.
02:28:30 And like I'm not, I'm not going to.
02:28:34 That's going to be my one of my New Year's resolutions is getting that done.
02:28:39 And I did some work to it during the time that I took off in terms of just trying to structure how we're going to do this, I think that one of the ways one of the best ways to roll this out would be almost like a a film competition.
02:28:52 I I used to do these. They would do these 48 hour film contests where they they would give you 48 hours.
02:29:00 Like a website would announce this is the theme.
02:29:04 This is a line of dialogue, and here's a prop.
02:29:08 So you have you have 48 hours starting right now the clock has.
02:29:11 Started to make a short film that uses this theme.
02:29:16 Has this line of dialogue and has this prop in it.
02:29:20 And you would do it and they would submit it and they would judge them and whatever.
02:29:26 And it was a fun little exercise.
02:29:29 And it was usually a very chaotic but fun 48 hours.
02:29:35 And so I don't, I think 48 hours is a little stupid. But you know, I I was thinking about structuring it something like that.
02:29:42 Where I would have different and and maybe do it in in phases, so like alright.
02:29:48 Everyone's going to compete for, you know, the first scene here and this is the scene.
02:29:54 This is the basic idea, you know, leave it open.
02:29:58 Just say this is the basic idea.
02:30:00 This is the basic premise.
02:30:03 The rest is up to.
02:30:04 You and you have two weeks.
02:30:08 And then at the end of the two weeks, everyone submits it and then.
02:30:11 You, you know, pick the best ones.
02:30:14 And then you do the same thing again.
02:30:15 You say.
02:30:15 All right.
02:30:16 Now for the next scene.
02:30:17 This is the basic idea.
02:30:20 I don't know.
02:30:20 I think that would be kind of a fun way to do it.
02:30:22 And it.
02:30:22 Might get people you know interested in competing because that adds competition and you know.
02:30:29 That would be a a motivating factor, but we're definitely going to do that.
02:30:33 We're going to put and it doesn't have to be feature length.
02:30:36 I'd like it to be feature length.
02:30:37 If we get the, I mean if we get if we can pull that off, that'd be great.
02:30:40 I don't think that's that's realistic.
02:30:42 I think it'll probably get more in the realm of maybe 30 minutes long and I think.
02:30:46 That would be perfectly good, but who knows.
02:30:49 Maybe we can, maybe we can do something more.
02:30:52 Than that.
02:30:53 So anyway, just food for thought.
02:30:57 One last one, electric word bearer, so glad to finally catch the tail end of a live stream.
02:31:03 I enjoy listening to your videos at work.
02:31:05 Took forever to finally come over from YouTube.
02:31:08 Is there any way you might upload your streams as downloadable audio files service at my work sucks a lot of people have been asking for that.
02:31:17 I'll have to find out what we can even use.
02:31:21 I I we get banned from so many platforms.
02:31:24 I would hate to go through and set up some stupid podcast platform and then I'm banned.
02:31:29 Like after going to the.
02:31:32 I don't know if there's like a free speech podcasting platform or or what.
02:31:37 Or maybe I just need to get my site working again and start putting it, you know, just as an MP.
02:31:40 Three there or something, or there's got to be a way or.
02:31:43 Maybe you can even.
02:31:44 Do MP threes on Odyssey, there might be.
02:31:47 I think I've seen something where you.
02:31:48 Can just upload audio, so anyway I will.
02:31:50 Take a look at that.
02:31:52 Happy New Year, everybody.
02:31:54 Hope you had a a great holiday season.
02:31:58 2022 is bound to be interesting and on 222222 whatever two lots of twos, we'll do something extra exciting for black pilled. I am of course.
02:32:15 This kitchen is so hard to clean.
02:32:17 If only there was an easier way.
02:32:19 Hi, I'm Derek Baum.
02:32:21 Say goodbye to daily stains and dirty services with new kitchen gun.
02:32:26 This sink is filthy, but just three shots from kitchen gun and it sparkles like new.
02:32:34 It cleans this greasy hob.
02:32:37 Goodbye, tuts.
02:32:38 Grubby tiles.
02:32:41 I love you, kitchen.
02:32:44 Rusty taps you can even use it on the washing up there.
02:32:53 All clean again.
02:32:54 New kitchen gun now with laser sight and night vision for after dark cleaning.
