What Learning About Computers Taught Me About People.mp3

00:03:53 Transmit eye frequency.
00:00:49 We transmit on a frequency.
00:00:53 What's the total transmitting power of 150 watts?
00:03:52 What's up, ladies and gentlemen?
00:03:56 Devon stack here.
00:03:58 I think I'm live.
00:03:59 I think I've changed the microphone to the correct.
00:04:02 Microphone without screwing anything up.
00:04:05 Hope you're all enjoying your self quarantine.
00:04:09 Really, nothing has changed for me.
00:04:13 Like literally nothing.
00:04:16 I am living exactly as I would if nothing were happening at all and.
00:04:22 That's kind of the whole point.
00:04:25 Of living like this.
00:04:29 We'll see what happens.
00:04:30 Again, I know I'm still not convinced.
00:04:32 I'm still not convinced it's going to be this horrific thing.
00:04:35 And I know people are still freaking out.
00:04:37 It is a big deal when you see the the sacrifice of money by elites.
00:04:45 So for example, seeing that the NBA is getting shut down and stuff like that.
00:04:50 You know, that's a lot of money we're talking about, and if they're willing to forgo that kind of a cash or that kind of cash, you have to assume that.
00:05:01 You know, there's something there's something going on, right?
00:05:05 So we'll again, we'll see what happens.
00:05:08 We'll see what happens.
00:05:09 It doesn't matter to me.
00:05:11 I'm safe either way and that's and in fact, most of you guys should be too.
00:05:16 I made a video I think like two years ago talking about what you need to stock up on.
00:05:23 You know very specifically what you need to stock up on, certainly how much.
00:05:28 And by the way, one of the things wasn't toilet paper because.
00:05:33 You know, I'm not going to beat it to death because I I just.
00:05:35 I know everyone's commenting on, like, what's up with all this?
00:05:37 But it is weird.
00:05:38 It is weird.
00:05:40 I mean especially cause toilet paper doesn't small come in small?
00:05:45 Like who buys just one roll anyway, even when things are good, you're not buying?
00:05:51 One roll at a time, you're buying like a massive case of toilet paper anyway, right?
00:05:56 So unless you're on like the last roll in that giant case.
00:06:01 I don't see. I don't.
00:06:03 See why you need a.
00:06:06 Minivan full of toilet paper to get through the the pandemic.
00:06:11 In worst case scenario what you got to ruin a couple socks and step into a shower?
00:06:15 It just seems like the weirdest thing to me to stock up on.
00:06:20 But anyway.
00:06:22 Hopefully you guys have all prepared and you have.
00:06:27 At the very least, canned food and stuff like that laying around.
00:06:33 Water is a big concern, I think for a lot of people that's going to be, you know, it'd be really out of all the infrastructure things to fail.
00:06:42 I think water would be last, so I wouldn't worry too much about that.
00:06:46 But if things start to get a little squirrely, you know, fill up your bathtub.
00:06:52 That's as easy.
00:06:52 As that you know, fill up if you don't have any kind of storage containers, you can fill up your bathtub.
00:06:58 You can, if you did buy some gallons of water, you can refill it with tap water.
00:07:04 Once you're done drinking it.
00:07:05 Stuff like that.
00:07:06 Just, you know, water is a big one.
00:07:08 Make sure you get that.
00:07:09 If if again this is if ****.
00:07:12 That's real, which I'm not convinced.
00:07:15 **** is real, but we're not going to talk about coronavirus or any of that stuff today.
00:07:20 Because I'm sure everyone's talking about it and even if.
00:07:24 If you wanna talk about coronavirus or.
00:07:27 Or you know.
00:07:28 Obsess about that?
00:07:29 You know Stephen Mall and you.
00:07:30 I'm sure we'll do it.
00:07:31 He's doing like a stream every day about it.
00:07:34 I'm sure you can watch watch his stream and and you can get filled in on all the new details and stuff like that to give you an idea of how not concerned I am.
00:07:43 I'm actually a little sick right now and.
00:07:46 I think a lot of people, if they had the symptoms I have, would be like, you know, wringing their hands like, oh, my God, Oh my God, I got the coronavirus.
00:07:56 And I'm I'm not worried at.
00:07:58 All, I think it's just like it's been raining here weird amount and I just think it's like mold and and spores that don't usually aren't usually in this dry climate that are getting released into the air.
00:08:10 And and I'm just my body is.
00:08:12 Reacting to that.
00:08:13 Or no, or of course, famous last words.
00:08:16 Right.
00:08:17 Or my hubris, my hubris is finally going to pay the piper.
00:08:22 I have the coronavirus and.
00:08:26 You know.
00:08:27 This this will be my undoing.
00:08:30 I again, when you live like this.
00:08:35 I had. I had someone.
00:08:35 Taught me that they're like, you know, even now with this going on, they're like, I don't understand why you're living like that.
00:08:41 What if nothing happens and I'm like.
00:08:44 It it that's not a I don't think anything is going to happen necessarily in fact.
00:08:48 There's a good chance my last dream I even said like, look, nothing's going to happen, you know, they just.
00:08:52 They printed $1.5 trillion so that the stock market wouldn't react negatively in the same way. They're artificially pumping up the stock market.
00:09:01 You know, they're gonna they're they're they're trying.
00:09:03 They'll they'll do whatever they can to keep the status quo going.
00:09:07 And so there's a good chance that it'll keep going my entire lifetime, and it will never collapse in my lifetime.
00:09:13 It's going to collapse.
00:09:14 But there, there's a chance it won't happen while I'm alive.
00:09:18 And that's OK, because it's not about.
00:09:22 I'm not sitting.
00:09:23 There thinking like ohh any day it's.
00:09:25 All going to come.
00:09:26 It's all going to come crumbling down.
00:09:29 The way I explained it was.
00:09:31 If you have.
00:09:33 A job that you don't like.
00:09:36 And your boss is kind of a tyrant.
00:09:39 And you don't have another job lined up.
00:09:44 How are you going to react?
00:09:46 When your job or when your boss.
00:09:49 Acts like a tyrant around you.
00:09:51 You're going to be submissive, you're going to be like, OK, yes, boss.
00:09:53 Because you don't have another alternative.
00:09:56 You don't have.
00:09:57 Now contrast that with how.
00:09:59 You would act.
00:10:01 If you had another job just waiting for you.
00:10:05 Like if you had another job that if you just quit that day, you could walk out of your office and walked right into this other office like nothing happened.
00:10:14 And then your your boss starts acting like an *******.
00:10:18 How are you going to behave then?
00:10:20 It's going to be totally different and that's how my life is.
00:10:24 I don't want to.
00:10:26 I don't want to have to be the systems *****.
00:10:30 I don't want to have to live my life.
00:10:33 In fear that the system's going to collapse.
00:10:37 And so even if I if I feel like it's necessary that the system collapses, like secretly, I'm kind of.
00:10:42 Like, but then I'm ******.
00:10:44 I don't want to.
00:10:45 I don't want to live like that.
00:10:48 I don't want to be the alpha slave.
00:10:50 I don't want the tyrannical boss to tell me what to do and and I have to grudgingly do it because.
00:10:57 I don't have any other choice.
00:11:01 So that's that's why I.
00:11:02 Live the way that I do.
00:11:04 And I I highly recommend it.
00:11:06 It's like in instance and when stuff like this does happen, it's like 0 stress.
00:11:11 Nothing changes in my life.
00:11:16 You know if if nothing happens, nothing changes. If if the worst case scenario in in like 10% of the of the of the country is is cold.
00:11:26 You know, nothing changes for me.
00:11:29 It's all the same.
00:11:31 So that's why I live like this.
00:11:33 And yeah, you make some sacrifices.
00:11:35 You have to sacrifice.
00:11:38 You know the way I lived in when I lived in DC, I lived in this fancy apartment that overlooked this.
00:11:44 I had this amazing ******* view and I could just walk it right out of my apartment building and into these very popular happening clubs at any moment, you know, and and you know, food, everything was just.
00:11:58 Within walking distance, I mean I had a car, but I didn't.
00:12:01 I didn't drive it for months.
00:12:02 It was just in the parking.
00:12:04 It got broken in.
00:12:04 Too, of course, but I'm sure you can guess the demographic of the the perpetrator.
00:12:11 But you know, I I never drove because it was.
00:12:17 And it was pointless.
00:12:17 Like, why drive when you can just walk to everywhere you go?
00:12:21 And then of course, there was the metro that you could, if you had to go kind of far or you could get an Uber or something like that.
00:12:27 Yeah, and living like that's kind of convenient in some ways, and it's fun and exciting.
00:12:31 And you get, you know, you socialize, you you, you pay a social price for living like this.
00:12:38 But you also.
00:12:41 Get some social rewards because you're not in addition to being spared the the, or rather, in addition to being deprived of the social interaction.
00:12:54 That you like.
00:12:55 You are spared the social interaction that you don't like, and increasingly that's becoming a net positive.
00:13:05 And it all depends on how old you are.
00:13:07 I think if you're like really Young Living in the city is is a good experience to some extent.
00:13:13 You know, like early early 20s.
00:13:18 Anyway, that's not why I'm having this stream.
00:13:22 I'm having this strain because I was thinking the other day.
00:13:28 That most of what I have learned.
00:13:32 About how.
00:13:34 About human intelligence, because that's something that comes up a lot, right?
00:13:38 We keep hearing a lot about IQ and and how important that is and it is.
00:13:45 And but it's not. It's not really the full picture. And you know, if you've listened to any of the research or read any of the research on intelligence, or even if you've just watched Edward Dutton's channel, and I bring him.
00:13:57 Up a lot because I think he's.
00:14:00 A a good resource on on YouTube.
00:14:04 He mentions G as much as IQ.
00:14:09 Because and I I don't pretend to know enough about it to to speak publicly in detail about it.
00:14:14 But Gee is essentially something that factors in more than just your IQ.
00:14:19 It's more of a score, an intelligence score that's.
00:14:21 A little more complete.
00:14:24 And the reason why?
00:14:27 I think there's more to it than IQ.
00:14:31 And that when you evaluate how intelligent someone is.
00:14:35 Which is very important and even not just individuals.
00:14:38 When you when you evaluate groups.
00:14:43 The reason it's easier to understand these things if you understand computers.
00:14:50 Is because computers.
00:14:53 Are essentially very primitive brains.
00:14:58 Extremely primitive brains.
00:15:01 In fact, I was thinking about this the other day.
00:15:04 Most of the machines that we that we build.
00:15:08 We model after ourselves.
00:15:13 What we're ultimately trying to build.
00:15:17 Is we're trying to build.
00:15:19 Superhuman slaves.
00:15:22 Like if you really think about it.
00:15:25 We're trying to create.
00:15:28 An army of slaves.
00:15:30 To to do our bidding and we want these slaves.
00:15:37 Obviously to be obedient, but we want them to have superhuman power.
00:15:41 You know, like in the computers case, you know, they, they, they, the superhuman power is that it can calculate mathematical equations far more accurately and and faster than a human mind can.
00:15:58 Beyond that, to be honest, there's that's about where it ends.
00:16:01 If you really think about it, well, I I guess you it can also and we'll get into this a little more too it it can store hard drive, but one of the components of a computer.
00:16:11 Can also store data more accurately and probably more of it.
00:16:18 Then the human mind can, although I'm not sure if there's.
00:16:21 Any real way to?
00:16:23 Measure in terabytes.
00:16:25 How much data is inside of a human mind?
00:16:29 That'd be very interesting to know.
00:16:31 I'm sure someone has some kind of estimate, but who knows how accurate it is.
00:16:38 When I when I mean.
00:16:40 That you understand computers, you understand the different components.
00:16:45 The computer.
00:16:47 So when you talk about a computer and I remember when I first got into computers, when I was younger, I was, I build my own computers and.
00:16:58 Even if you didn't build your own computers, you would look at like the sticker on the computer.
00:17:04 And you'd have to look at the specs.
00:17:07 And you wouldn't just look at, like, well, if you knew what you were doing, you wouldn't just look at one thing.
00:17:13 So, for example, if there.
00:17:14 Was a computer.
00:17:16 They had a really fast processor, but it only had.
00:17:20 A small amount.
00:17:21 Of RAM and like a crappy hard drive.
00:17:25 You knew that there.
00:17:26 Was going to be a bottleneck there.
00:17:29 You know, it didn't matter that the computer could calculate things really quickly.
00:17:37 The bottleneck would be the hard drive.
00:17:39 If it was a slower, smaller hard drive, the processor would be waiting for the data to be read from the hard drive, so it couldn't.
00:17:50 Couldn't calculate what you needed it to calculate at the speed that it was able to calculate at because it was waiting on on the data that to be read from the hard drive and then in addition to that, if you didn't have a lot of RAM.
00:18:03 It would require this RAM so that once it read the data from the hard drive it could load the data into RAM so that it could quickly access it as it's processing things.
00:18:15 And you know so it doesn't have to constantly read from this this.
00:18:20 Low hard drive.
00:18:25 Those are three components.
00:18:27 Of a computer you've got the CPU.
00:18:30 You've got ram.
00:18:31 And you've got a hard drive.
00:18:34 Another component might be.
00:18:37 Well the motherboard.
00:18:39 You might have really fast RAM and a really fast CPU.
00:18:45 And maybe even a really fast hard drive.
00:18:49 But the motherboard has a really slow chip set.
00:18:56 That can't handle your fast ram.
00:18:59 Or can't handle your fast CPU.
00:19:04 Or has a a slow you know SATA interface for your hard drive, right?
00:19:11 So it doesn't matter that your hard drive is really fast, because the pipeline between the hard drive.
00:19:18 And the CPU is really slow.
00:19:23 Another component might be your video card, especially if you're a gamer, right?
00:19:28 So you have like the fastest processor in the world, you've got, you know, 128 gigs of RAM, you've got, you know, like a 80 terabyte hard drive or SSD.
00:19:41 And you have some ******.
00:19:45 Video card with with only two gigs of video RAM on it and and you're not, you're not going to be.
00:19:49 Able to play the games that you want to play because you're all you have a bottleneck there.
00:19:59 When you think about people, you think about humans and you think about their intelligence.
00:20:04 You always have to think about all these different complexities.
00:20:08 It's because the human mind is way more complicated than than a.
00:20:12 Than a computer.
00:20:14 A computer is a very primitive brain.
00:20:19 The very primitive brain.
00:20:22 But the the reason why it's it's good to understand computers to understand people is the the very fact that it's primitive makes it easier to understand these different components and how they interact with each other and and how that can be a metaphor essentially.
00:20:38 For the human.
00:20:38 Mind in the same way you know, it's like old cars.
00:20:42 You know my vehicles.
00:20:45 Our older like my truck.
00:20:46 'S older than I am.
00:20:49 And the reason why my truck is older than I am is.
00:20:53 Now if you get a, if you get a computer or you get well, I might as well.
00:20:57 I I slipped up and said computer might, but I'm not really slipping up.
00:21:00 Because if you get a car now.
00:21:02 It's mostly computer.
00:21:04 We're not mostly, but it has.
00:21:05 A lot of computer components to it.
00:21:07 You know they.
00:21:07 Even cars, modern cars now or even they're sending out messages to the cars around them, saying, hey, I'm close, I'm over here.
00:21:16 So the self driving cars will will know to avoid.
00:21:20 These cars they have, you know, the GPS stuff, all the tracking stuff.
00:21:25 You have the fuel injection, that's all controlled by computer.
00:21:30 You have a a governance system that will, like you know, lower how fast you can go, even if the engine is capable of going faster.
00:21:39 You have some self driving capability in some cars.
00:21:42 You know, and and as we saw with Michael Hastings, for example, it's very likely that that's the system that was hijacked and ultimately caused his death.
00:21:57 If you don't know about Michael Hastings, the journalist that died in a a fiery car crash.
00:22:05 In a vehicle that.
00:22:07 Had self driving capabilities and remote access.
00:22:15 A person who specifically told his neighbor I I need to drive your car because I'm afraid they're going.
00:22:22 Do something to my car.
00:22:26 Just days before this crash.
00:22:28 Now look into it.
00:22:30 We're not going to talk about that in.
00:22:31 Detail, but all you have to know is.
00:22:36 My cars don't have that kind of access.
00:22:40 So the older cars are more primitive and they're easier to work on, easier to understand, and you also don't have to worry about anyone hacking your car and driving you into a.
00:22:52 A brick wall.
00:22:54 But anyway, going back to the point.
00:22:58 You hear a lot of people.
00:23:00 We'll talk, they'll brag about their IQ, or they'll talk about even just IQ popular the the IQ of different populations.
00:23:10 As if that's the end, all be all.
00:23:12 And while it is important, just as as it's important that a computer have a fast processor.
00:23:23 There's a lot more to it than that.
00:23:26 Because as I was saying, if your IQ is.
00:23:30 You know 180.
00:23:32 You know, if your if your processor is a six gigahertz, you know quad, you know core or you know Octo core.
00:23:44 Quantum computer chip that hasn't even been invented yet.
00:23:51 It doesn't matter.
00:23:53 If you've only got like a 17 gig hard drive from 1995, you know a 5400 RPM hard drive that doesn't store any information and can and is reading it at a crawling pace.
00:24:07 Right.
00:24:10 It doesn't matter.
00:24:12 If you don't have a lot of.
00:24:14 Ram so that you.
00:24:15 Can you can do all these calculations but.
00:24:17 You get overwhelmed.
00:24:19 When you, once you do think of the data and you and you can't.
00:24:22 Actually functionally do it.
00:24:24 So you get really good at maybe really like the autistic.
00:24:27 Like the Rain Man.
00:24:29 Type of person.
00:24:29 The man they can count all the toothpicks that fell on the floor.
00:24:33 Like that's ultimately useless.
00:24:36 It's a.
00:24:37 It's a parlor trick.
00:24:38 It's a useless skill.
00:24:39 It's not going to help you in life.
00:24:41 It doesn't make you some kind of great philosopher.
00:24:43 The fact that you can do this.
00:24:45 One little.
00:24:46 Really quickly.
00:24:48 So there's a.
00:24:49 Whole lot of things that go into intelligence.
00:24:53 And so people will might say that, oh, are you saying then this nullifies?
00:24:59 You know the IQ arguments that a lot of people use in our movement?
00:25:02 Absolutely not.
00:25:04 In fact, I would say it bolsters it because it is so complex.
00:25:10 You know, just as an example, another thing, another aspect to a computer.
00:25:16 Is the operating system.
00:25:19 You can have the fastest hardware.
00:25:23 In the world.
00:25:25 And it's not going to matter if the operating system can't take advantage.
00:25:31 Of that hardware.
00:25:35 And you might say.
00:25:36 Oh, well then, if you're using this as.
00:25:39 A a metaphor for people, then, are you saying then that we could get, you know, these really smart other people that that that have really good hardware, bring them to the West and then just reinstall?
00:25:52 You know our our operating system, freedom 2.0 or whatever.
00:25:58 And the you know, no in the same way.
00:26:02 That you can't install OSX on a PC.
00:26:09 Now, you might say oh, but you can if you get.
00:26:11 If you hack and yeah, OK.
00:26:13 Just like, yeah, you can.
00:26:15 I mean, there's there are a small number of these people that aren't from the West that can assimilate to the West.
00:26:22 If you hack their their software and do these tricks, yeah, you can.
00:26:26 You can get it to work, right?
00:26:28 But we're not.
00:26:28 I mean, tell your mom to do.
00:26:30 It's not the easiest thing.
00:26:32 And he's not even he's his thing for for.
00:26:34 Someone like me?
00:26:35 I've I've done it.
00:26:37 I I was doing it but back.
00:26:38 When it was.
00:26:40 Power PC architecture before Apple switched to X86 architecture I was using.
00:26:49 Pair PC that's.
00:26:51 That's some old school.
00:26:52 Hacker ship if you.
00:26:55 Look into that.
00:26:56 It ultimately ended up being useless.
00:26:58 But it it.
00:26:58 It accomplished one thing for me.
00:27:00 It actually got me a job.
00:27:01 I'll tell that story.
00:27:02 Maybe some other time.
00:27:07 You have to understand the mind is exponentially more complex than a computer.
00:27:14 But it still has some of the same basic aspects, because I'll use myself as a as an example, I think I've got a good processor.
00:27:23 I think I've got a lot of RAM.
00:27:26 But I think I've got a corrupt hard drive that doesn't have a lot of space.
00:27:31 My Member, I've told you guys this before.
00:27:33 My memory is not always the best with details and everything.
00:27:36 I'm not one of these guys.
00:27:37 They can sit there and just quote like 1000 different people. I don't have a photographic memory. I I can't recite Shakespeare or or verses from the Bible or or anything like that, you know, I'm.
00:27:51 And I'm more like that computer that you had where you'd run out of space and you'd be downloading a movie and.
00:27:56 You'd be like well.
00:27:58 I've already seen this movie, so I can delete this one and then I'll have space for this one and maybe I can uninstall this program that I don't need anymore in.
00:28:09 In my case, I'd be like, well, I guess I can forget my third grade teachers name because now I need to know.
00:28:16 Obviously it's not that.
00:28:17 But you know what I mean.
00:28:19 So it's just.
00:28:22 It's something that I that I think that really helps anyone that understands computers.
00:28:28 I think really starts to understand people.
00:28:30 A lot better.
00:28:32 And one of the.
00:28:33 Puzzling things because this isn't something new.
00:28:36 This is something I've always kind of.
00:28:38 Intuitively known that I've always I think.
00:28:42 I think.
00:28:43 Because I spent so much of my younger years around computers, I think that I've always just in a way used that as a a way to interact with, with, with people, right?
00:28:58 Because I interacted probably more with.
00:29:01 Computers when I.
00:29:01 Was younger than I did with people.
00:29:04 And I remember when I when I moved to San Francisco years ago and I was meeting a lot of these people.
00:29:12 Who I thought would understand computers.
00:29:14 The way that I did.
00:29:16 I thought that they would have a similar worldview.
00:29:19 I would.
00:29:19 In fact, I knew before I went to San Francisco that San Francisco.
00:29:22 Was very lefty, right?
00:29:24 But I had I didn't under.
00:29:25 I couldn't figure out why I was like, well, that doesn't make sense to me because.
00:29:29 A lot.
00:29:30 I mean, if you understand the computers, if you understand logic and reason and you understand how hardware works with, you know, software and that sort of thing.
00:29:40 That really fits right into my worldview.
00:29:42 It doesn't, really.
00:29:44 And in fact, in some ways it informs my worldview.
00:29:48 So I had a hard time understanding how you would understand hardware and software.
00:29:53 The way that I would, or maybe even better than I would if you're in San Francisco working for a big tech company.
00:30:00 And then not understand humans and not understand the real world in the way that I did.
00:30:06 And so when I moved to San Francisco.
00:30:09 And I'd go to like a bar or or some kind of social event.
00:30:12 And and I'd meet people.
00:30:15 I would.
00:30:16 I would kind of talk to them with with some assumptions.
00:30:19 I would talk to them as if.
00:30:22 They at least had the same level of interest in in hardware and software that I did.
00:30:27 And that, at least they had some basic understanding of of computers, especially if they had just told me that they worked at, you know, Google or or whatever, right.
00:30:39 And what I found again and again and again.
00:30:44 Was that these people?
00:30:47 Didn't understand computers.
00:30:52 These people.
00:30:55 Were what I would later start calling.
00:30:58 They were, they were programmers, they weren't programmers.
00:31:03 They were programmers.
00:31:05 They were the guys that in school.
00:31:09 Didn't have any interest whatsoever in computers like in high school and whatnot.
00:31:14 But then they heard that you would make a lot of money.
00:31:19 If you got a a degree in computer science or something.
00:31:24 And that, you know, you could make a lot of money if you were an app developer.
00:31:29 You could make a lot of money if you were a game developer, or maybe they didn't have an interest in computers.
00:31:36 But they really like playing video games, and so they'd.
00:31:39 Be like, oh I I.
00:31:40 Want to make video games?
00:31:43 Not understanding that you know there's more to it than just wanting to, you know, being able to play video games is not the same.
00:31:50 As being able to write video games, right?
00:31:52 So you'd have these people telling.
00:31:54 Me that oh, I'm a.
00:31:55 Game designer or I'm a an app developer or I'm a, you know, whatever.
00:32:00 And then you find out that they they.
00:32:02 Often don't even know how to code.
00:32:05 And if they do know how to code?
00:32:07 They don't understand.
00:32:09 What their coding is doing, they're basically borrowing the code of other people.
00:32:17 You know, libraries that have other people have written and and to some extent everyone has to do this, right.
00:32:21 I'm not expecting everyone to write their own computer language, but they're borrowing the work of others and kind of slopping it together and then saying I made a I made an app or I made a game or, you know, whatever.
00:32:35 But they never really understood.
00:32:38 What they were doing that they would.
00:32:40 Memorize and like I said, even the.
00:32:41 Ones that could code.
00:32:44 They would memorize the commands.
00:32:46 They would memorize the syntax.
00:32:49 Of the computer language, but they wouldn't know why it did that.
00:32:54 They would know if I typed this.
00:32:56 This happens, but they wouldn't know why that happened.
00:33:00 They would just know that it happened.
00:33:01 Because they needed.
00:33:03 It to do that they googled it.
00:33:05 They got an answer and they just copied and pasted the answer into their code.
00:33:12 And that's when I realized.
00:33:15 Thatwewouldhaveanother.com bubble or another?
00:33:19 Another kind of cataclysmic event.
00:33:23 In Silicon Valley, because this wasn't, this wasn't the the odd occasion.
00:33:29 This was the norm.
00:33:31 The norm was.
00:33:33 These computer people.
00:33:36 Like none of them knew about computers, none of them.
00:33:38 They didn't know about hardware, they didn't know about software they didn't know.
00:33:43 They knew a shocking, shocking, shocking.
00:33:46 A little about anything.
00:33:49 And and they still. And they have these jobs making like 100,000.
00:33:52 Dollars a year.
00:33:55 And it was just that's when I realized, oh, so that's how.
00:34:00 They can act the way that they act.
00:34:02 This is how they can be.
00:34:04 This way.
00:34:06 And and not understand the world the way that I understand it.
00:34:09 Because they.
00:34:12 Don't have to understand computers, they don't have to understand logic.
00:34:18 They don't have to understand reason for their job.
00:34:22 You know, even with the game, you know when you have stuff like for those that have been in game development.
00:34:29 Even with stuff like unity and stuff like that, where you're just buying prepackaged like some game that someone else made, it's basically just a template.
00:34:37 And you're just swapping out some graphics, but it's some again, that someone else may.
00:34:43 And and these templates exist for all kinds of things, and in some ways you know, I don't want to talk **** about that because in some ways that's good.
00:34:52 Because you don't necessarily want to limit.
00:34:55 The access to right or to create a game or a or a an app or a program that just people that know how to do it from scratch.
00:35:03 You know, there's people that probably have good.
00:35:05 Ideas that just don't have the technical know how and.
00:35:07 You don't want to box them out.
00:35:10 So I don't want to sound like.
00:35:11 I'm being some kind of elitist.
00:35:14 But I do want to sound like that.
00:35:15 There's a huge difference.
00:35:16 Between those people.
00:35:19 Yeah, and and the way you would see, I think the biggest way you can see the difference between these people.
00:35:26 Is these were the same people that would idolize people like Steve Jobs?
00:35:32 And they wouldn't even know anything about Steve Wozniak.
00:35:37 And that is the difference between Steve Jobs.
00:35:41 And Steve Wozniak.
00:35:44 I'll just tell a quick little story about Steve Wozniak to give you an idea of.
00:35:50 Of the.
00:35:53 Genius, really, that this guy is?
00:35:57 Steve Jobs.
00:35:59 Didn't wasn't really.
00:36:01 I mean, he was technical enough.
00:36:03 He was like one of these programmers where he was technical enough to where he could talk the talk, he could maybe work a soldering iron a little bit.
00:36:11 And you know when Wozniak was was explaining what his software would do, he could understand it.
00:36:18 You know, he wasn't.
00:36:19 He wasn't stupid.
00:36:22 But he also wasn't.
00:36:25 A version of basic by hand in a notebook.
00:36:29 With no access to a computer like Steve Wozniak.
00:36:33 Now let me explain what that means.
00:36:36 When you write software today.
00:36:39 You write it using a language, a computer language.
00:36:45 That has been created.
00:36:47 For ease of use.
00:36:49 So even though it's code.
00:36:52 You know, it's it's not just plain English.
00:36:54 You're not just typing and and then after the user types in their name in this box do this.
00:37:00 It essentially is that it's just it's abbreviated, right?
00:37:03 You know it it's a code telling the computer.
00:37:08 What it is you want to accomplish, but what's what happens then?
00:37:12 And and people that have written software now excuse.
00:37:16 Me. What? I'm talking.
00:37:17 About here after you write some code, you compile it.
00:37:21 And what the compiling?
00:37:22 Process does just there's more to it.
00:37:25 I'm just going to, I'm really paraphrasing here, but.
00:37:28 When you compile it, it essentially turns that code that you wrote out, and that's not plain English, but it's closer to plain English into more of like a buying like machine language into a language that the actual hardware in the computer understands.
00:37:45 OK, because the hardware on the computer.
00:37:48 He doesn't.
00:37:50 Python doesn't understand.
00:37:53 Any any language at all except for.
00:37:56 You know, machine language, a very basic, very basic language where you're literally telling the hardware what to do.
00:38:03 On a machine level.
00:38:06 So to write.
00:38:08 A language like Python, for example, to write.
00:38:12 A language that is going to basically be the middleman between a programmer.
00:38:19 And the hardware.
00:38:21 You have to know all about the hardware.
00:38:23 You have to know every little thing that the hardware does, how to access it, how to communicate with it.
00:38:30 And it's really complicated ****, and you basically make this really complicated **** into.
00:38:38 A language that.
00:38:40 That's still complicated.
00:38:43 But you don't have to be a complete autistic autistic mess to like, understand it, right?
00:38:51 So, Steve Wozniak, they needed a version of basic.
00:38:56 Because I and I don't remember the details exactly because it was it's years ago that I read this book, it was the books called I was.
00:39:03 I highly recommend it especially.
00:39:04 If you read.
00:39:06 If you read Steve Jobs.
00:39:09 That his big biography the the.
00:39:15 Authorized 1 written by that New York Times journalist.
00:39:18 I forget the name of it, but the big one.
00:39:20 That was everyone.
00:39:21 Everyone was reading and pushing for a while, like right as he was dying and he died.
00:39:25 And then I don't remember that came out right before he died or right after.
00:39:28 But it was like, right around then.
00:39:30 And then they made.
00:39:30 That movie with, you know, Seth Rogen and all.
00:39:32 That stuff, if you read that and you.
00:39:35 Found that interesting.
00:39:36 And I read it and it was interesting.
00:39:38 You need to read.
00:39:38 I was because IWAS is like the IT fills in all the blanks and it really it really kind of tells you.
00:39:46 Who was really running the show?
00:39:48 The brains behind the operation.
00:39:53 In his in the book I was.
00:39:56 They talk about how they needed a version of basic and I don't remember if it's that they they couldn't license it from Bill Gates.
00:40:04 Or if it was too much money or for whatever reason.
00:40:08 And Wozniak decided, well, I'll just, I'll write my own version of basic.
00:40:14 So what he's doing is he's going to write.
00:40:18 A computer language.
00:40:20 That is the middleman between the user.
00:40:23 And the hardware.
00:40:25 But he didn't have a computer.
00:40:27 He didn't have access to a computer.
00:40:30 Steve Wozniak.
00:40:32 Wrote a programming language.
00:40:34 In machine language, because you can't write a programming language in a program.
00:40:38 Well, I.
00:40:38 Guess you could but.
00:40:40 If you had another programming language, you could compile it and whatever.
00:40:43 And I I think that's actually been done, but at the time you're not doing that, you're writing basic you know.
00:40:49 So he wrote basic in machine language.
00:40:55 In a notebook.
00:40:58 And then he had to rent time on a computer because back then, you know, if you didn't have a computer, this was this was several years ago.
00:41:05 He had to rent time on a computer, type it all into a computer.
00:41:09 And then compile it and then he had basic and it worked.
00:41:13 And anyone that's written any software will, and that's insanity, because think of how many times you've written software and you've had to compile it and run it, and then you forgot a semi colon somewhere.
00:41:23 Oh, you forgot this, and then you change that and then it breaks this and then you change that and then it breaks the and it's like you're constantly fixing bugs and working out the bugs.
00:41:31 And then finally it works.
00:41:33 Imagine just writing out an entire program.
00:41:35 Like other words, a programming language basic in machine language, in a notebook, and then getting it right the first time.
00:41:45 That's insane.
00:41:47 That's insane.
00:41:49 Another real quick story to show you the level of intelligence of this guy.
00:41:58 Made the game the video game break out.
00:42:01 I don't know if you I'm sure you guys have seen it.
00:42:04 It's a really old game where it's just a bunch of blocks.
00:42:09 At the top of the screen and you're like another block at the bottom of the screen, and there's a bouncing block that breaks the other blocks.
00:42:17 And then it keeps score and.
00:42:18 Then that's it, OK.
00:42:21 That game breakout as simple as it is, and it's really simple.
00:42:26 Has zero lines of code.
00:42:31 I'm going to repeat that the gang breakout.
00:42:34 Has no lines of code.
00:42:37 It's entirely hardware.
00:42:40 Not firmware, no firmware.
00:42:45 In the same way.
00:42:47 Then an old pinball machine like before, they, you know, could talk and played music and stuff like the old ones with the bells and the the clink, clink, clink, clink, clink in the same way that's all hardware breakout is all hardware.
00:43:03 And the same thing he designed the.
00:43:04 Game on paper.
00:43:07 And then they ordered the hardware.
00:43:10 And soldered it together in his like in in mask water days in his garage.
00:43:16 And Steve Jobs.
00:43:20 Sold it to Atari.
00:43:23 And screwed them out of a bunch of money.
00:43:25 Because that's how these people operate when you don't understand, like how things work.
00:43:33 You become a parasite.
00:43:36 You become a tyrant.
00:43:38 And you become a parasite.
00:43:40 Because that's the only way.
00:43:43 You can survive, and that's exactly what Steve Jobs was.
00:43:46 He was a tyrant.
00:43:49 And he was a parasite.
00:43:51 And he was probably very high IQ.
00:43:58 But he didn't understand he was missing.
00:44:01 He was, he was.
00:44:02 Missing the empathy chip.
00:44:04 You know what I mean?
00:44:06 So you can have a really high IQ.
00:44:10 And just not understand.
00:44:13 Some very important aspects.
00:44:16 Of humanity.
00:44:17 It doesn't it.
00:44:18 Doesn't mean you'll be unsuccessful, it just means you're not a.
00:44:20 Very good person.
00:44:27 You'll see this.
00:44:28 The other, the other things that the the other repercussions I guess.
00:44:34 Of Silicon Valley now being populated by all these people that idolize Steve Jobs.
00:44:41 And not Steve Wozniak.
00:44:43 You have all these people that don't understand hardware, don't understand software, don't understand.
00:44:48 Like when I, I mean look and there's a lot of people that might say too, like, oh, how come Wozniak?
00:44:54 Neck isn't on your side.
00:44:56 Then if he understands hardware.
00:44:57 So first of all who?
00:44:59 Who says that you know that he's not.
00:45:01 You know, I don't know, maybe he is second of all then this is.
00:45:07 There might be some conspiracy theories behind this, I don't know.
00:45:11 But after having an argument with Steve Jobs about the direction of Apple.
00:45:15 And stuff and kind of how he was.
00:45:16 Being a greedy little.
00:45:18 He got in an airplane accident and suffered a head injury and has never been the same since.
00:45:24 Like he's not the genius that he was.
00:45:27 Before this, that's this is another story that's in his book.
00:45:32 So which is?
00:45:33 I mean that's tragic or maybe it's a relief, I don't know.
00:45:36 I don't know.
00:45:37 I I don't know what it's.
00:45:38 Like to be that.
00:45:39 You know, maybe it's a really.
00:45:43 But at any rate.
00:45:47 The point is you you have Silicon Valley, now populated, and this is just the Western people, right? I don't know. Maybe maybe the H1B visa. People are the same way. Where?
00:45:57 They look at Steve Jobs.
00:45:59 The same way.
00:46:03 And that's The funny thing too.
00:46:04 You hear a lot of well, Steve Jobs, his parents were immigrants or something like that and and.
00:46:08 And where would we be without that?
00:46:10 It's like well.
00:46:12 We wouldn't have as much slave labor in the world.
00:46:16 You know the Internet would have been cooler for longer.
00:46:21 Because what really, the Internet was the iPhone.
00:46:24 And it basically gave stupid people a porthole into the Internet.
00:46:30 That's plain and simple.
00:46:33 The question should have been where would the world be without a Steve Wozniak?
00:46:36 Or where would the world have been?
00:46:38 With a.
00:46:40 Steve Wozniak at the head of Apple and not a Steve Jobs.
00:46:45 I don't know, maybe it would have failed.
00:46:47 Maybe it wouldn't have been as commercially viable.
00:46:49 And there's people that try to make the argument all the time.
00:46:51 Well you need.
00:46:51 The Steve Jobs for the Steve, you know, I don't know if I agree with that.
00:46:56 You know, I don't think you need tyranny.
00:47:00 In order to get things done, I think it's a more efficient way to get things done.
00:47:05 But I think that's the way it has to be.
00:47:07 But anyway, you have a whole.
00:47:10 So the whole state, you know, California, all of Silicon Valley.
00:47:15 They want to be tyrants.
00:47:17 They want to be the tyrant.
00:47:19 They don't care.
00:47:20 They don't want to know how to make a a video game using just hardware.
00:47:26 Which is insane.
00:47:27 That's still insane.
00:47:28 To me, anyone that knows anything about hardware?
00:47:31 I mean, just imagine making a video game using just capacitors, resistors like a video game that keeps score.
00:47:38 You know like.
00:47:40 That's some, that's some autistic **** right there.
00:47:44 I know a lot of you guys can't appreciate that, so that's fine, but trust me, it's if you if you want to appreciate it.
00:47:52 Take a peek inside of one of those electric and electromagnetic pinball machines, the kind that don't use the ones that don't talk and you know, like like the Addams family style.
00:48:02 I mean like the old ones.
00:48:03 That just have a bell to go.
00:48:04 Ding, Ding, Ding Ding.
00:48:06 Look underneath one of those.
00:48:09 And justice marvel.
00:48:11 At the gears and wires, I mean because that's another.
00:48:14 It's it's.
00:48:14 That is what software looks like when it's hardware.
00:48:20 And that's what he did is he wrote software with hardware.
00:48:24 It's an amazing feat that lots of people in Silicon Valley don't give a **** about.
00:48:30 Because they want to be Steve Jobs, they want to.
00:48:33 Be the visionary.
00:48:35 They want you.
00:48:36 How many people I talked to in San Francisco that said.
00:48:39 That they like they.
00:48:40 Imagine just saying that to someone that's.
00:48:43 You're a visionary.
00:48:45 I I I didn't even.
00:48:46 Know how to react to that.
00:48:47 I was just like.
00:48:50 So so here I can't even say it on YouTube.
00:48:57 But I think you can.
00:48:58 You can imagine what I what I thought.
00:49:01 I'll clean it up right.
00:49:02 So so you're you're.
00:49:03 You're a massive douche.
00:49:05 That's what you want, OK?
00:49:07 Thanks for now.
00:49:08 I know now that I know that you're you're a massive ****** ***.
00:49:15 And that's most of Silicon Valley, so.
00:49:17 And by the way.
00:49:20 It wasn't always like that.
00:49:22 And I've seen that kind of.
00:49:25 In fact.
00:49:27 Other aspects of the of the tech world.
00:49:32 There's a few conferences that I've gone to not religiously, but you know fairly regularly over the years.
00:49:40 Tech conferences and and it's it's across the board.
00:49:44 I've kind of seen the change.
00:49:47 Where the first year I would go.
00:49:51 It was like going to a conference.
00:49:52 Of of me where?
00:49:54 When attending that, it was me.
00:49:55 It was you'd feel like, right at home.
00:49:57 You're like, oh, my God, everyone here gets it, like everyone here.
00:50:01 Is is, is just like me in so many ways and it was great and it was awesome.
00:50:07 And then, of course, diversity happened and slowly.
00:50:12 And it was in force too.
00:50:14 So you know you would meet these.
00:50:16 People. Oh, you're not like.
00:50:18 Well, maybe you're still smart.
00:50:19 And then you realize, oh, no, you're just here because you're not like me.
00:50:23 You were.
00:50:24 You were sufficiently not like me.
00:50:26 So they they decided to bring you here because they're tired of people like me.
00:50:35 Because like I said, I mean.
00:50:36 Even if the hardware.
00:50:39 Is there?
00:50:40 The software is not always compatible.
00:50:46 So you can have.
00:50:48 You can have people with with you.
00:50:50 Know high specs.
00:50:53 But they don't have.
00:50:54 They don't meet the minimum software requirements.
00:50:59 Which is very important.
00:51:04 So I hope this was something that helped you.
00:51:09 Understand people a little more.
00:51:14 Like I said, it's.
00:51:16 Something anytime I evaluate.
00:51:20 The intelligence level of another human being don't sit there and I'm not like, oh, well, like they've got at least 12 gigs of RAM.
00:51:27 And like I don't have like some kind of formula where I'm sitting there trying to determine what kind of computer they are or anything like that.
00:51:35 But yeah, I mean, I definitely intuitive.
00:51:39 Think of them like that.
00:51:40 I think of them in in more complex way than.
00:51:43 It's not a buy in area.
00:51:44 It's not like, oh, it's not like a.
00:51:46 Speedometer. You know IQ.
00:51:47 Is not like a speedometer.
00:51:49 Like, oh, you're you are X amount of smart, you know, like you've scored X amount of smart points.
00:51:58 And that's.
00:51:59 That's stupid.
00:51:59 That's not.
00:52:00 That's not how it works at all.
00:52:02 And in fact, I would rather have think about it in computer terms.
00:52:07 I would rather have a computer.
00:52:09 That has a really slow processor, but is compatible with my software.
00:52:15 And is eventually going to get the task done.
00:52:19 Run a really fast processor that that can't run my software.
00:52:23 Because that's useless to me.
00:52:26 Or a a slow processor.
00:52:30 With a fast enough well.
00:52:33 I don't want to get too.
00:52:33 Crazy with this.
00:52:34 You know what I mean?
00:52:39 Hopefully that helps and hopefully this was something to think about that's not.
00:52:44 The craziness of coronavirus and Oh my God toilet paper and yeah.
00:52:52 What are we going to do?
00:52:53 What are we going?
00:52:54 To do.
00:52:57 So with that, I guess I'll, I'll look at some super chats here.
00:53:02 And let's take a look here.
00:53:06 Oh, and by the way, know it before we go to super chats.
00:53:10 Let's talk about the.
00:53:13 The day of the rope movie.
00:53:17 So I have had some some people respond.
00:53:21 I haven't gotten back to most of you and I apologize for that.
00:53:25 Part of that is there.
00:53:27 It's just, you know, IRL things.
00:53:29 I had some real life situations that I've been dealing with.
00:53:34 At least of which is, I mean, I was sick in bed pretty much all day yesterday.
00:53:39 And then before that I was.
00:53:41 It's just it's I'm I don't get into it.
00:53:44 It's been a complicated last couple weeks.
00:53:48 But I'm going to be doing that over the next couple of days.
00:53:52 I'm going to be getting back to everyone that contacted me.
00:53:56 I I still want people to send in submissions.
00:54:01 And to keep doing that, you've got plenty of time.
00:54:04 This is I don't.
00:54:05 Know if you've ever worked on a movie before, but they're not.
00:54:08 They don't get done overnight, and so we're talking like I want.
00:54:11 I don't want it to go on forever either.
00:54:13 You know, I don't want it to just drag on, I don't want.
00:54:16 If we're still talking about making it like this time next year, we we ****** **.
00:54:22 You know, it's something like it should be.
00:54:25 It should be.
00:54:26 We should have a rough cut by this time next year.
00:54:28 At the very least.
00:54:29 You know, if not, I'd be completely done.
00:54:33 Because, as I've talked about like a lot of the way that we're doing.
00:54:36 It doesn't require a lot of.
00:54:40 Production, you know or even pre production.
00:54:43 Well man, I don't know, maybe a lot of pre production but not as much production and.
00:54:50 Even post production, I'm really.
00:54:51 I'm really good at post production.
00:54:53 I know I'll probably personally be.
00:54:55 Handling a lot of it.
00:54:57 It's not something I'm going to be handing off to anyone because I'm just really, really fast at editing and it would just be faster for me to do a lot of this stuff myself and.
00:55:10 And I've got the software and hardware to accomplish it.
00:55:13 But for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, and hopefully that you do.
00:55:18 We are making a movie.
00:55:22 That's based on my my book and and yes, book two is still coming.
00:55:28 And before you even.
00:55:30 Ask I know that.
00:55:32 I know that something people are are are waiting for and and I'm trying to get it out there as quickly as possible so it's based around the universe in my book.
00:55:42 Link is in the description if you want to take a look at it or you can listen to the first chapter for free on my on my channel.
00:55:50 It's it's there.
00:55:52 But we are making a movie that's found footage.
00:55:57 And by found footage, think like paranormal activity.
00:56:02 VHS unfriended is the the example I use the most because it's most most like that.
00:56:10 And it's it's.
00:56:13 Found footage that is through the eyes of an NSA employee or someone like that at a spy agency of some sort.
00:56:23 Doesn't really matter.
00:56:24 That is spying on people in the movement and or and and and also, you know, Antifa people, stuff like that.
00:56:35 They're doing it by activating the cameras on their phones, on their laptops, on their iPads, security cameras.
00:56:44 ATM cameras.
00:56:46 I mean it could be anything, right?
00:56:47 So just think of how many, especially if you live in the UK, think of how many cameras there are everywhere.
00:56:53 And think of all the different cameras that someone like that could activate in order to.
00:56:59 Follow someone around and spy on them.
00:57:01 And So what I'm asking from you guys?
00:57:05 Is for little clips that would be kind of funny or scary.
00:57:10 It's up to you.
00:57:12 Where you would have a member of maybe just just as an idea, I'm leaving this.
00:57:19 Door pretty wide open for you guys.
00:57:22 It would be helpful if you read my book 1st and kind of understand the the the universe, but it's also it's not even really necessary.
00:57:31 I mean you, you understand?
00:57:33 Like just as an example, following an Antifa person around for a day and so.
00:57:39 But at the same time, I don't want you to send me.
00:57:42 A an entry that's like an hour long.
00:57:44 I want it to be cut down really short, and I mean like 3 minutes tops.
00:57:49 Or you can give me a longer version just with the understanding that I'm going to cut it down to like 3 minutes tops.
00:57:54 Most likely, but just something that's.
00:57:59 These different camera angles like a security camera or an iPad or whatever that camera that or think like Project Veritas type camera angles, right, they get activated and follow an Antifa person around or a politician around or someone in the movement just being followed.
00:58:20 Or, you know, maybe Jeffrey Epstein type or Anthony Weiner type.
00:58:29 You know that sort of a thing and without being, obviously without being super graphic, but.
00:58:38 It's not going to be rated G either, so you have some wiggle room.
00:58:41 Just don't make it needlessly disgusting.
00:58:44 Just know that I'm not going to.
00:58:48 Also be too super touchy about it either you know, like if it has to be a little violent or gross for some reason.
00:58:54 If it's, there's a reason, just don't be.
00:58:56 Gratuitous about it.
00:58:58 And you can send those.
00:59:00 And let me make sure I get this right.
00:59:04 UM.
00:59:06 I don't want.
00:59:06 To give you guys the.
00:59:09 The wrong e-mail address.
00:59:14 I'm pretty sure I remember this.
00:59:16 Let me see.
00:59:18 Yeah, it's rope movie.
00:59:22 Rope movie.
00:59:24 At protonmail.com.
00:59:27 Rope movie.
00:59:31 At at protonmail.com and I'll have.
00:59:35 I'll have some.
00:59:37 That's another thing on my list.
00:59:38 My very long list of things that do we need to have the.
00:59:44 A website for it and I also I think ultimately might even have either will utilize Telegram or I know people brought up discord and stuff like that.
00:59:58 We might set up some kind of hub.
01:00:01 Where people like can start.
01:00:03 I'm I'm terrible.
01:00:04 I'm just going to tell you right off the bat.
01:00:05 I'm terrible at building communities in that sort of a thing.
01:00:08 That's just not what I do.
01:00:10 I am a loner.
01:00:10 By nature, I'm.
01:00:12 You know, obviously and I'm just not.
01:00:14 That's not my my deal.
01:00:16 I'm and so I might have to enlist the help of of other people to.
01:00:21 To help manage that.
01:00:23 And delegate some of this stuff to other people to to kind of do so.
01:00:28 It's just going to be it's going to go a little slow as I as I try to identify these people and make sure we don't have too many crazies and stuff like that and everyone wants to stay.
01:00:37 Anonymous and by the.
01:00:37 Way you can, you know, stay anonymous with your submissions for this movie thing.
01:00:42 Very easily.
01:00:43 So all you have to do is up.
01:00:45 You can upload it to some anonymous file sharing program and just send me the link and all that stuff.
01:00:51 That's fine.
01:00:51 You don't have to.
01:00:53 Identify yourself if you don't want to be identified, which is, you know another good thing about this.
01:00:59 So yeah, that's that's still going on.
01:01:01 It's and I've.
01:01:03 I've gotten some some good submissions and I'm going to also go on a couple other live streams and kind of advertise it, popularize it a little bit.
01:01:13 And you know what?
01:01:15 I'm just now noticing.
01:01:18 I'm going to get rid of some of these stupid chat bots.
01:01:21 In here.
01:01:25 It's moving.
01:01:26 So how do I turn on the stupid slow mode?
01:01:45 Alright, I'm going to block some of these stupid.
01:01:52 Chat bots. Sorry guys.
01:02:02 I need to get some mods.
01:02:05 Yeah, I'm going to mod some people here.
01:02:09 If you sent me some super.
01:02:10 Chats and you're going to get modded, I think.
01:02:14 Let's let's take care of that right now, and I know I had some people e-mail me and I did mod a couple of you.
01:02:20 So let's just take care of this now.
01:02:25 So what I have to worry about this every time?
01:02:29 Because I'm going to be doing more strings.
01:02:31 I didn't used to care because I didn't realize, first of all, I didn't realize how many of these.
01:02:36 Bots there are, but this is insane.
01:02:40 All right, you're a moderator.
01:02:43 Don't abuse your power, guys.
01:02:51 You're a moderator.
01:02:56 I'm I'm kind of randomly picking here.
01:03:02 And you are a moderator.
01:03:05 Because you were complaining about the lack of moderators, you knew blue.
01:03:10 Get to work. Chop chop.
01:03:20 We may make one more moderator here.
01:03:38 You are a moderator now.
01:03:44 All right guys.
01:03:46 Clean up that spam if you can.
01:03:48 If you got.
01:03:49 If you became a moderator, I did it kind of randomly on.
01:03:53 The Super chats.
01:03:55 And I'm I'm trying to sit here and.
01:03:56 Block some of these guys.
01:04:01 Let's remove that person.
01:04:11 And remove that person.
01:04:14 That's a crazy amount.
01:04:16 It's crazy how much the the bots have gone crazy, like, like how they just swarm in here.
01:04:22 I didn't realize that would happen.
01:04:23 I, like I said, I rarely pay attention to the regular chat when I'm watching stuff.
01:04:28 And when I'm doing this kind of a stream, it's I don't want to.
01:04:31 I'm ignoring chat, but you know, I kind of am like, I just don't want.
01:04:34 To be distracted by the.
01:04:36 The text coming in at man at me, at least in a in a string like this.
01:04:40 I I like the interaction at the end of the stream, but like during my my spiel, I don't want to get so I I sidetracked myself enough as it is.
01:04:48 Oh, also some of you guys were asking about the music at the beginning when I made that music myself years ago.
01:04:57 It's just really stupid silly stuff I made in sound forge and stuff and like acid, that's how long ago was when I was like a kid.
01:05:05 Like the beatboxing is me beatboxing, and the kazoo was like me with playing a kazoo.
01:05:11 And so that was, that's all Devon stack originals.
01:05:17 So I hope you guys liked it.
01:05:20 I know it's the music.
01:05:21 It was kind of.
01:05:21 Silly, but yeah.
01:05:25 All right.
01:05:26 So I'm just going to the Super chats.
01:05:27 And we'll wrap this up.
01:05:31 Christian DeLorme.
01:05:34 5 Canadian Bucks here, buddies appreciation.
01:05:37 Appreciation for your you and your work.
01:05:39 Well, I appreciate that Machiavelli socks.
01:05:44 199 have.
01:05:45 More coronavirus knowledge than you do.
01:05:47 Hey, yeah, I'm, that's not something I got to worry about.
01:05:50 Have more supplies that don't be worried about it.
01:05:53 Why do I have to have more knowledge about it?
01:05:56 Like it, it doesn't affect me.
01:05:57 It really doesn't affect me, and honestly, no one has any real knowledge about it.
01:06:02 You know what are we supposed to believe?
01:06:04 We supposed to believe grainy videos coming out of?
01:06:08 China, are we supposed to believe the CDC?
01:06:12 Are we supposed to believe Trump?
01:06:15 Are we?
01:06:15 Who are we supposed to believe?
01:06:17 You know, like I'm not in a lab analyzing the virus personally.
01:06:22 I mean we that's the problem is.
01:06:23 We no one really knows what to believe.
01:06:26 That's that's.
01:06:27 That's one testament to how little faith people have in the media now is that most people think it's a hoax.
01:06:34 I'm not saying it's a hoax, by the way.
01:06:35 I'm just saying that most people think that or a lot of people think that.
01:06:39 So let's say it was like.
01:06:41 This huge big deal.
01:06:43 It's like a boy that cried wolf type situation where they've eroded the trust so much that now that they need that trust for something important and life saving, they don't have it.
01:06:55 You know, so and that's the and I would, I would flip that around too, I'd say oh, so you're not going to believe the media when they tell you that, you know the Russian collusion stuff, but now you're going to believe them about this.
01:07:09 You know, it's we don't know.
01:07:12 One knows anything about this stuff.
01:07:15 You know, **** ***.
01:07:19 All right, Tyler Durden, 199, your impression of the impressions of the Unabomber manifesto. You know, it's been a while since I read it.
01:07:31 He he got a lot of stuff, right?
01:07:34 Obviously, his strategy to get people to read it was a little extreme, but.
01:07:42 It's an interesting raid.
01:07:44 I think that people would gain a lot from reading it, certainly.
01:07:48 Cipher cipher $5 high dev and two things Discord server and live stream.
01:07:52 I I am.
01:07:53 On dlive, if you guys don't know Dev and stack on D live my last my last stream was on D live in fact not.
01:08:00 Not here.
01:08:01 It wasn't like some kind of earth shattering stream.
01:08:04 It was really kind of random.
01:08:05 It was before.
01:08:08 It it was during a rainstorm, so I had decided to do a stream.
01:08:14 Enia blew $5.
01:08:17 Where are you going?
01:08:18 Mod or where are you mods?
01:08:19 Well, you're a mod now.
01:08:21 So you can start cleaning up those cyber ****** that are trying to sell ****.
01:08:27 That's so weird.
01:08:29 They they want you to get bobs and vagine.
01:08:33 Violent lizard $2.00 asked Jones to have you again. Said yes, but he hasn't.
01:08:41 No, I, they, they reached out to me in January and it's just it's not that I don't have beef with them or anything like that.
01:08:50 I don't mind going on Infowars, I just.
01:08:54 It's again.
01:08:55 I've just been real busy and so we just haven't made it work yet.
01:08:58 But I in fact, that'd.
01:08:59 Be a great place to promote people sending the submissions for the.
01:09:05 You know what I mean?
01:09:08 And I know I know everyone.
01:09:10 You know.
01:09:11 Alex Jones is not perfect and there are some real issues with.
01:09:16 All of that, I just don't want to get into.
01:09:18 It's still it's a good platform to reach a lot of people and.
01:09:24 You know.
01:09:26 Yeah, I I think that.
01:09:31 I don't know.
01:09:31 I hope that some of the topics that have been.
01:09:36 In my opinion, purposely swept under the carpet.
01:09:41 Are not continue, aren't they?
01:09:42 Don't continue.
01:09:43 To ignore some of these things.
01:09:47 Because obviously it didn't keep them from getting censored.
01:09:49 You know what I mean?
01:09:51 I got a thumbs up with some again I.
01:09:54 Don't know what these rubs are?
01:09:56 But I got 229 rubs. They might be rubles.
01:10:01 Or rubies or I don't know, but I appreciate it all the same.
01:10:06 Cowboy Bear gives me $5.
01:10:07 A missing semi colon is why I love software engineering, and I'm now a mechanical engineer.
01:10:16 Yeah, you know, and that's The thing is.
01:10:20 Mechanical engineering.
01:10:23 Can be so much more satisfying, I think, or electrical engineering too.
01:10:26 Anything that's using.
01:10:27 The physical world.
01:10:29 Where you're not just sitting there, especially now coding has become, you're just basically using the code of other people.
01:10:36 I mean, you're just, you're just copying and pasting a bunch of ******** that other people made and mashing it together into something new and and to some extent, you could say the same thing about electrical engineering and and and.
01:10:49 Some mechanical engineering, but like when I when I mean when I say electrical engine like for example everyone knows that I do like ham radio.
01:10:57 Stuff I I use older ham radios specifically because the same reason I use older cars.
01:11:06 You know, because I can.
01:11:07 I can fix them myself.
01:11:08 If ham radios today, new ones are just like new cars, where they're mostly computer.
01:11:15 They're not even ham radios anymore.
01:11:16 It's like a computer with a ham radio on it.
01:11:19 You know.
01:11:20 Whereas like cars are starting to become, they're just becoming computers with with.
01:11:25 Wheels on them.
01:11:27 So it's.
01:11:30 That's basically what's what's going down.
01:11:33 With with well and pretty soon, refrigerators are going to just be computers.
01:11:37 That keep food cold.
01:11:39 And I like working on older radios with tubes and and capacitors and things that I can, you know, it might be 50 years old, but I can fix it when it breaks and it will break.
01:11:52 It's 50 years old, you know, and I can understand it.
01:11:55 Whereas if something breaks in a new in a modern well, anything really.
01:11:59 It's not user serviceable.
01:12:05 It's which, by the way, I think.
01:12:07 Contributes to the dumbing down.
01:12:10 Of the public, you know, it's not just hammer.
01:12:13 I mean, everything used to be user serviceable, even like vacuum cleaners and things like that.
01:12:17 When they would make these things, they'd make them to last.
01:12:20 But they'd also make them with the with the.
01:12:24 The the idea that whoever purchased it would want to keep it going, you know, for a long time and and therefore would have to be able to work on it, you know, and they don't engineer anything like that.
01:12:35 I mean, you can't even change the battery in an iPhone.
01:12:38 You know what I mean?
01:12:39 So these things are just engineered now to to be disposable and it's and it's ******* ********.
01:12:46 Constantine was was extremely intelligent, but error free assembly requires diligence more than IQ.
01:12:54 His genius is better reflected in hardware, OS design.
01:12:57 Well, yeah.
01:12:57 Like I said the the making breakout.
01:13:00 From scratch.
01:13:02 But I mean at the same time making.
01:13:05 I mean, I couldn't write basic.
01:13:07 From you know, using machine language with a notebook.
01:13:13 I couldn't do that.
01:13:15 Maybe I could.
01:13:16 Uh, with it, would it wouldn't be.
01:13:20 It would take a lot longer.
01:13:21 I'd have to.
01:13:22 I mean that there'd be a lot of studying that would have to go into that first.
01:13:27 All right, let's take a look here.
01:13:29 A lot of highly technical Waze types are into decentralized tech right now.
01:13:34 They still very much exist.
01:13:35 Yeah, there's a lot of that going on.
01:13:37 In fact, that one guy, the first guy to hack the iPhone.
01:13:43 Geo hot or hot?
01:13:45 So I guess he.
01:13:46 Goes by now.
01:13:47 Real, really, really smart guy.
01:13:50 Reason TV which.
01:13:53 But they did A and he's a little he's kind of libertarian, you know.
01:13:59 He's kind of, you know it.
01:14:00 Is what it is.
01:14:01 But they interviewed him about his AI self driving car, stuff that he's working on now.
01:14:10 He's a smart ************.
01:14:13 In fact, when he he had he hacked, he's when iPhones first.
01:14:18 Out the iPhone, one first came out. It was locked to AT&T.
01:14:23 And I had T-Mobile at the time and I wanted an iPhone, but it was back when the contracts were even, like worse than they are now.
01:14:33 And I had a contract for like 2 years or some stupid ****, and I wasn't going to pay for, like, another contract.
01:14:40 And I knew that the technology was the same like T-Mobile and AT&T. They both used the same like SIM cards and so technically.
01:14:50 You should be able to just get a a T-Mobile SIM card and stick it in an iPhone and it would.
01:14:54 It should be able to work, but they had locked it and you couldn't, you know, because it's it's apple you couldn't change.
01:15:05 You know the the software that was locking it onto AT&T.
01:15:09 And So what Hautz figured out was cause he's one of these genius, you know, hardware guys.
01:15:15 He figured out that.
01:15:17 And I still remember doing this because I bought.
01:15:20 He released a hack and what it was involved was.
01:15:24 Oh ****, you're.
01:15:25 Not you had to.
01:15:27 First of all, you had to get the the iPhone open, which was not the easiest thing in the world like you had to get.
01:15:32 Like I I think I spent the most time just trying.
01:15:35 To get it.
01:15:35 Open without breaking it and then after you.
01:15:38 Got it open.
01:15:40 You had to hook it up to a USB port.
01:15:43 And then you had to get this software and I forget if I don't remember, if you had to run it in.
01:15:49 OSX Terminal or DOS or what it was but it was, you know it was a text based thing and then you had to make a like a shorting device like you'd get you'd have the solder, a sewing needle to another sewing needle with a wire in between.
01:16:07 And you had to the reason.
01:16:08 That he had to do that is while you.
01:16:11 Were running this program that.
01:16:14 You had to on the motherboard of the iPhone.
01:16:17 You had to short out one pin on this chip onto the pin of another chip.
01:16:25 And and you had to keep short like so another way and you had to be real steady with your hands because these are tiny little pins, which is why you had to use a needle.
01:16:33 So I'm sitting there with a needle.
01:16:36 Like touching the pin of 1 chip and the pin of the other chip like I did this like the day he released it publicly because I was like.
01:16:45 I'm *******.
01:16:46 Doing this and then you had to hit like, well, in my case I hit the spacebar with my *******.
01:16:52 Toe to to run the the Flash program that would that would update it and clear and and and it worked.
01:17:01 And like, I mean, the guy's a genius.
01:17:05 Really interesting interview.
01:17:07 I don't agree with.
01:17:08 You know everything he says.
01:17:09 Obviously he has some.
01:17:11 Interesting philosophical points of view, but he seems pretty based at the same time.
01:17:17 But yeah, those guys do exist, but he the same thing.
01:17:19 He left Silicon Valley, he said.
01:17:21 He went there, couldn't stand the ******* people there because they were all these programmer *******.
01:17:26 And then then he went to, I don't know where he ended up like, maybe Texas or something.
01:17:31 But he he didn't fit in.
01:17:34 And they and they gave him tons of money too, because, you know, he was the guy who had hacked the iPhone, right?
01:17:39 So it was.
01:17:39 Like this huge.
01:17:41 A deal at the time I remember he was on national news.
01:17:45 And then he made he wrote some before iPhones had a GPS on him because they didn't.
01:17:50 The first ones didn't.
01:17:52 And in fact, I used this to navigate the country like I drove.
01:17:56 It didn't work perfectly, but it worked well enough for me to get all the way across the country.
01:18:03 When I moved to DC and.
01:18:06 It would triangulate.
01:18:09 Antenna strength because you would find all the different cell towers.
01:18:16 And then based on the cell tower identification.
01:18:21 And the the location that they would have the GPS coordinates of, it would triangulate and figure out where you were and it worked like it it, you know, it wasn't as good as GPS, but it was pretty good for considering what it was doing.
01:18:35 And he just made that and released it for free.
01:18:40 Yeah, there's.
01:18:42 There's definitely these these.
01:18:45 These geniuses that still exist, but you know.
01:18:49 They're not.
01:18:50 That's not the norm.
01:18:51 And he left.
01:18:52 Like I said, he.
01:18:52 Left because it wasn't the norm.
01:18:58 Let's see.
01:19:00 Don't need tyranny to get things done.
01:19:02 You going soft?
01:19:04 You can't.
01:19:06 Devon, you can't fight them just by using just by being.
01:19:09 No, but there's there's a difference.
01:19:10 Between between tyranny.
01:19:12 And leadership.
01:19:16 OK, like you can.
01:19:18 You can have a strong leader.
01:19:21 An authoritarian leader, even without being a tyrant.
01:19:26 You know tyranny is.
01:19:30 Like think of it.
01:19:31 This way there you can have a boss.
01:19:34 That's a real **** ***, but you don't want to disappoint.
01:19:38 You know what I mean?
01:19:39 But then you can have a boss that's a real ******* *******, and you, you almost want him.
01:19:44 You you want him to fail so that you you kind of sabotage your own projects so that he'll he might look stupid.
01:19:50 So that's what I'm saying.
01:19:51 The difference is there's certainly.
01:19:56 You certainly can use a **** *** leader that to get things done and in the central authority even you know.
01:20:03 But when it comes to Steve Jobs, I don't think he fit the bill.
01:20:08 I think he just had an ungodly amount of money and he was just the psychological.
01:20:16 You know, he just talked with people's minds and.
01:20:20 And he had the star power.
01:20:23 I don't think and.
01:20:24 I don't think he inspired people so much as he scared people and I don't know, maybe people like that.
01:20:30 I just.
01:20:32 Try reading his his biography and and reading I was and and and try to still like him.
01:20:37 He it's it's impossible or even respect him.
01:20:40 I mean the guy pretended his daughter wasn't his.
01:20:45 He had millions and millions of dollars.
01:20:47 And she's basically growing up.
01:20:50 In poverty because he doesn't want to acknowledge his own.
01:20:53 I mean, the guy was a complete *******.
01:20:55 He he like 8.
01:20:56 Nothing but carrots for some because he was.
01:20:58 I mean, he was crazy, too.
01:20:59 He they ate nothing but carrots for, like, a year and turned orange.
01:21:03 I mean, the guy was a was a complete nut bag and and.
01:21:08 Their height, you know, ***** ** ****.
01:21:11 As far as I'm concerned.
01:21:14 Josh Holloway, 20 bucks.
01:21:17 I hear a lot about red pill theory when it comes to politics, race, health and books that are rec recommended for these topics.
01:21:24 But are there any books, recommendations that are red Pilling in regards to personal finance?
01:21:31 I don't know.
01:21:32 I'm not the right person to ask.
01:21:33 About that, I think it's pretty easy.
01:21:36 The the big the The thing is just keep this in mind.
01:21:39 Usery is a sin.
01:21:41 So don't participate in it.
01:21:44 And it will make your life.
01:21:46 More difficult because they've designed the whole system around Usery.
01:21:52 But a life without usury?
01:21:55 I mean that's that's that's getting out of the system.
01:22:01 And so just don't.
01:22:02 Just don't participate in usury.
01:22:05 And it might take a while to do that if, especially if you know if you've got a mortgage or car payments or student loans or whatever.
01:22:13 I mean, it's it'll take a long time to get out of that, but once you do, that's.
01:22:18 That's my and of course this is not financial advice.
01:22:22 I have to say that.
01:22:24 Because and.
01:22:25 The funny thing is, the reason you have to say that.
01:22:28 Is they've mystified finance on purpose?
01:22:32 And they've, they've mystified it by using all this jargon and giving, making you have to be licensed to do all you know to do anything or to even talk about it.
01:22:42 I mean, it's on purpose.
01:22:44 So just don't participate.
01:22:45 It just don't play.
01:22:46 Their stupid game.
01:22:48 I mean, you have to to some extent, right?
01:22:49 Like I'm not saying that you can live only on gold bars or or Bitcoin or, you know, something like that.
01:22:58 But just don't just try to disengage from their system as much as possible is what I that's what I do.
01:23:06 Justin Ellis, $3 thumbs up sign for $20 if you need some assistance with admitting a discord server, I'll get one set up. Hopefully you can provide some input on its culture, though. Yeah, I I've heard bad things about.
01:23:23 Discord that I need to follow up on.
01:23:28 I made you a moderator though, so.
01:23:32 You can mod some of these sax pods out of here in the meantime.
01:23:38 I had some, it might have been you.
01:23:39 I had someone e-mail me about a discord server too.
01:23:44 A bald guy creation $5. Love you, man.
01:23:48 Right back at you, buddy.
01:23:50 Whoa, something moved.
01:23:55 I hate this chat.
01:23:56 How it just randomly moves.
01:23:59 Hudson Havensville, 499 love your work. Stay safe in these crazy times. Yeah. I'm like I said, nothing has changed for me.
01:24:07 Aside from, you know, I'm not going to.
01:24:09 Go into town, maybe for a little bit.
01:24:12 But I don't really need to, so it's not a big deal. Axe chopping block $5. Thank you for all your hard work. You're awesome.
01:24:20 Thank you, chimp.
01:24:22 With a car, 10 bucks.
01:24:24 I've ebayer over a dozen copies and counting of your book to amplify the signal.
01:24:29 Looking forward to the sequel and film.
01:24:32 Also, I'm happy to moderate if you'd like another.
01:24:36 All right, cool.
01:24:39 Yeah, why not all mod?
01:24:42 I can always unmod you if you turn out to be crazy.
01:24:46 And yet the book is available on Barnes and Noble.
01:24:48 Now it's just.
01:24:51 Amazon that it can't be sold on for some reason because they're *****.
01:24:57 By the way, you shouldn't.
01:24:58 You remember if you have a prime account or if you're just buying stuff from Amazon.
01:25:03 You know, I'm not going again.
01:25:04 I don't like punching right at all, but there was someone that was like, poo pooing like, what are you supposed to do?
01:25:11 Just not buy **** from Amazon anymore.
01:25:14 And I couldn't think of a better time to use the yes meme or like, yes, I haven't bought anything from Amazon.
01:25:20 I used to be a prime member.
01:25:21 I used to do all that **** like everyone else.
01:25:23 I was trying to be the techie alpha slave like everybody else.
01:25:27 I'm not.
01:25:27 I'm not better than everybody at all.
01:25:31 I realized, and this was before I didn't even really want to sell my book there, but it just it made more just.
01:25:36 Like with YouTube where I.
01:25:38 You that YouTube doesn't want me on YouTube in the same way and well and now we know for sure, Amazon didn't want me on Amazon, so I I didn't feel like I was giving in to them because they didn't want my business.
01:25:51 They didn't want me to be there, so I was like, OK, it's OK because it it's accomplishing what I want and.
01:26:00 It's not I I don't know.
01:26:01 I maybe I'm just justifying something I shouldn't, but that it makes sense to me.
01:26:06 So, but yeah, I don't.
01:26:08 I stopped paying for prime years ago and stop buying stuff from them because you can find everything that they sell.
01:26:15 It takes slightly more work and in.
01:26:18 It's fun to use Amazon.
01:26:21 To find what you need and then read the the reviews and then just go buy it somewhere else.
01:26:28 And that way you're costing them bandwidth and then just, you know, buying it somewhere else.
01:26:33 I do that every time and every time it's either exactly the same price.
01:26:38 Or even excuse me?
01:26:40 Even a little cheaper a.
01:26:41 Lot of the.
01:26:42 Times, sometimes a little bit more expensive.
01:26:44 But not usually.
01:26:47 It's almost always the exact same price. It's like the whole Internet has the same price for everything and and and honestly, it probably a lot of that stuff comes from the same source, but at least Amazon's not getting.
01:26:58 Account of it.
01:27:00 Captain tisno.
01:27:01 10 bucks.
01:27:01 Hey, I'm a little late to the stream.
01:27:02 Have you talked about coronavirus or or are you going to?
01:27:06 Do you have a schedule for streams or?
01:27:08 No, it's still had a mess.
01:27:11 You know, I kind of just uh.
01:27:14 Do it whenever.
01:27:17 But yeah, I I should do like a weekly update.
01:27:21 At least have the day the same.
01:27:24 And I'm just terrible routine.
01:27:26 I'm really bad at routine.
01:27:30 I I don't want to say that I'm like the the absent minded professor, but where I'm just, you know, but I kind of am a little bit, you know, I just kind of.
01:27:41 I always have like 10 projects going on at the same time and.
01:27:45 And it's very.
01:27:50 You know, I don't want to say disorganized because it's like I know where everything is and and it's not like it's not like messy.
01:27:55 It's just, you know, it's not.
01:27:58 It's it's it's unstructured.
01:27:59 It's not beholden to a routine, but there's some downsides to that, and I I should probably implement at least a little bit of routine for doing this for you guys.
01:28:09 You know more than anyone else because I know it's.
01:28:11 Like Oh well.
01:28:14 You know, with it it'd be OK if I was doing this more regularly.
01:28:17 If you knew that.
01:28:18 Oh, well, he's going to do a stream.
01:28:19 Every day.
01:28:19 It doesn't matter what time of day maybe, but maybe it's every Sunday or every you know.
01:28:24 Something like that.
01:28:28 But yeah, I'll, I'll, I'll think of something.
01:28:33 The cowboy there the right to repair is essential. Now, my friends and I have been reading terms of service since 95.
01:28:41 Every company wants to lease their hardware instead of of you owning it.
01:28:45 Yeah, yeah.
01:28:48 In fact, I I remember telling people.
01:28:52 In like the early 2000s, late 90s maybe.
01:28:56 That ultimately things were going to regress like we would have computers that would get faster and faster and faster, but then we would go back to having just terminals.
01:29:06 And all the processing power would be done off site and because we before when you'd go to like the library or something like that, like in the 80s and 90s.
01:29:17 You just have a terminal where it was the actual computer was in the back room and you just had like a monitor and keyboard and you were sharing the same computer with anyone else that had a monitor and keyboard, and it was really slow and ****** or whatever.
01:29:31 And then this hardware got less expensive.
01:29:33 You know, you had your own computer, but it's going to go back to just being.
01:29:37 And a terminal and the reason why it's going to go back to being a terminal isn't because, oh, it's so great.
01:29:43 We have this huge, you know it's efficient or or whatever.
01:29:47 It's because they can remotely just take away.
01:29:50 It's like, why do they?
01:29:51 Why do you think they want you to store everything in the cloud?
01:29:54 You know, because now they can.
01:29:56 They have they they don't.
01:29:58 You don't have your own software.
01:30:00 Adobe software.
01:30:01 Another example.
01:30:01 They you rent it.
01:30:03 You rent Adobe software and you can't just buy Photoshop and install it.
01:30:09 You have to rent it every month.
01:30:10 It's it's so ridiculous and.
01:30:13 There's no incentive for them to make it better now and have, like, a new big.
01:30:18 Because they just, they can predict their income and they just know, oh, we're going to get X amount a month for Photoshop because of all.
01:30:25 These losers that are paying us their money.
01:30:28 They use stupid Photoshop every month. It's so it's so lame and that's what they're. That's what everything's trying to do. That's.
01:30:35 What they want?
01:30:37 Because it's usery.
01:30:40 That's what it is.
01:30:40 They don't want ownership.
01:30:43 Ownership is bad.
01:30:45 They want you tied it they want.
01:30:47 You reliant on the system so that if you unplug from the system.
01:30:51 Then you can't.
01:30:52 You don't have your things anymore because you don't.
01:30:54 Actually own anything?
01:30:56 The more that you.
01:30:57 Have to pay the system every month and owe the system to get your things.
01:31:03 The the less likely you are to fight the system because it's like I was trying to.
01:31:08 Explain to that person the other day like.
01:31:11 If if you don't have another job lined up and you're out on the street, you're going.
01:31:14 To be nice to your boss.
01:31:17 So that's what they want.
01:31:18 They want to make sure you can never have.
01:31:21 Another job lined up.
01:31:24 And yeah, I I try to make sure I can fix anything that's of import.
01:31:28 Whether it's a car, a ham radio or even like a lot of my tools, I try to get old used tools that I can work on.
01:31:39 You know if they break.
01:31:41 That's that's the way to do it.
01:31:44 And it's cheaper too, I mean.
01:31:47 You know, just use cars and ham radios because The funny thing about cars is.
01:31:54 Classic cars used to be really expensive because boomers were buying them.
01:32:00 A lot of millennials and you know, generation Y&Z maybe a little bit of X.
01:32:10 They don't know how to drive a standard, you know, stick.
01:32:15 They don't know how carburetors work.
01:32:19 They don't.
01:32:21 I mean, they don't know how a car work.
01:32:23 You know, they don't know.
01:32:23 They don't know.
01:32:24 How to work on cars?
01:32:25 They don't know how to do anything really mechanical and so they don't want and a lot of these cars, they're not efficient.
01:32:34 You know, they burn a lot of gas.
01:32:35 Gas is kind of expensive, so they don't want to.
01:32:37 Get some big.
01:32:39 And and you know the other thing too is a lot of these older cars are huge.
01:32:42 So they want this.
01:32:43 Big Beastie heavy.
01:32:46 Metal machine that might break on a fairly regular basis and it cost a lot to maintain and and and.
01:32:56 They they just would rather have the disposable car that they don't even own.
01:33:01 They just pay month every month or every month to lease, but it doesn't break.
01:33:06 You know it's and or or, not even have a car, just Uber.
01:33:09 They want to rely on the system that much to where they don't even have a car.
01:33:13 They just Uber everywhere because financially it makes sense, right?
01:33:17 It does make sense financially to just Uber everywhere if you factor in insurance rates and gas and and everything else, and you don't do it.
01:33:25 And then let's say you work at home or something like that.
01:33:27 It does make more sense financially to just, you know, be on.
01:33:33 A a a system where you're just ubering around all the time.
01:33:40 But because of that, the cost of these classic cars has plummeted.
01:33:48 So you can get like an actually cool car.
01:33:51 That's old that you can fix.
01:33:54 And I mean, I saw.
01:33:56 I saw it. I really. I'm not gonna say what it is, but a really cool 1950s car that like I would have if I had the time.
01:34:04 I I don't have the time.
01:34:07 I I would have bought because it was like for a car that I I don't know for sure because like, I've never.
01:34:13 Have the kind of money to to collect classic cars, but.
01:34:18 It a car that I suspected probably.
01:34:20 Would have cost.
01:34:21 Even in like the 90s.
01:34:24 Maybe like 10 to $20,000, it was like $3000.
01:34:31 $3000 there's people that pay like 1000 bucks a month for their stupid car payment, insurance and everything else.
01:34:39 And fixing old cars is not that hard.
01:34:42 I mean, boomers can do it.
01:34:43 Right.
01:34:46 And with the Internet I mean.
01:34:48 You can fix anything you think that I was just some kind of mechanical genius.
01:34:52 I mean, my dad was a mechanic.
01:34:53 When I was a kid.
01:34:55 And he fixed cars and I, you know, through osmosis, I picked up some of that and I I worked on cars when I was young.
01:35:01 And and I've always been somewhat mechanical, but I.
01:35:03 You know, I've never.
01:35:05 Rebuilt an engine or something like that.
01:35:07 And with the Internet you can do all that or even without the Internet you get like a a Haynes manual and.
01:35:14 On any car really, and know exactly how to tear it down.
01:35:18 And it's.
01:35:20 I highly recommend getting a car that you can work on or or.
01:35:27 If you have, if you have a modern car, just make sure it's, you know, a reliable modern car and it's going to.
01:35:34 And it's paid off. Just don't. Just don't get a slightly used, reliable, modern car that you know, like an old Honda or old Toyota that's going to give you an extra 100,000 miles or something and you don't have a car payment. It's just paid off.
01:35:53 You know, you don't have to get some old like Ford or Oregon.
01:35:57 You don't even have to get an old, carbureted car.
01:35:59 You can get a reliable used car.
01:36:05 OK.
01:36:09 Side for 10 bucks also, did you hear about the guy over in Potomac, MD that got killed was working on blockchain comms for 2A?
01:36:18 No, I did not hear about that.
01:36:21 There's been a lot of shady **** that goes on in Maryland.
01:36:24 I lived in Maryland for a little bit.
01:36:26 You understand with with Maryland and Virginia.
01:36:33 It's just like it's the the the shore of the swamp, you know, it's like you have.
01:36:38 That's where a lot of the swamp lives.
01:36:42 Tim K5 Bucks subversive of messaging aside, do you have a favorite Simpsons episode so far?
01:36:49 You know the.
01:36:49 Older ones like the first few seasons really aren't that bad.
01:36:53 They teach a lesson.
01:36:56 They they.
01:37:01 They have logos.
01:37:02 In some ways you could say.
01:37:05 Ah, they're not terribly especially.
01:37:08 You know, if you compare them to the newer ones, they're not terribly irreverent even.
01:37:13 The only thing that sucks is they are at the same time and you could say it's all just a joke, but you can say that about anything but.
01:37:19 They're normalizing you.
01:37:20 Know child abuse when, when? When? Homer's choking Bart constantly.
01:37:25 Everyone's like, oh, that's just a joke in a cartoon.
01:37:27 Well, what about?
01:37:28 What would you say about big mouth?
01:37:31 Oh, that the ************.
01:37:33 Scenes with kids?
01:37:33 That's just a joke and a cartoon.
01:37:36 I mean, everything's just a joke in a cartoon and tell it's not so even the early ones, it's hard to say that they're they're good, but I'm sure there's a few that are good because there's a few where I've thought, oh, this actually, I have nothing bad to say about this.
01:37:54 But it's like rat poison, and I'm going to kind of talk about that when I do the video rat poison has to taste good for the rats to want to eat it.
01:38:04 If it tasted like crap, they wouldn't need it.
01:38:07 You know, so The Simpsons has that where even the ones that are subversive as hell.
01:38:12 Have a lot of funny parts, have enjoyable parts to them.
01:38:16 Because you know, if they weren't good, you wouldn't eat the rat poison.
01:38:21 Alex Miller, $5 I love how digital ham radio decentralizes tech.
01:38:28 APR asked to send a message to my wife's e-mail via an eye gate during the local emergency. No cell phones.
01:38:33 Yeah, that's pretty cool.
01:38:34 I don't do some.
01:38:35 I don't do any of the digital stuff.
01:38:36 I mean, I think it's cool that people do.
01:38:39 I don't know as much about the digital stuff because, well, my radio.
01:38:43 None of my radios can do it.
01:38:45 I well, I have one.
01:38:48 Like my emergency.
01:38:50 I have a 817, you know Yasu, 817, the the the shack in a box. They can do a lot of different things, but that's more like my oh, **** radio. It's not anything I use.
01:39:06 OK.
01:39:08 Alex Norton more rubs. I got 400 rubs.
01:39:11 I got to find out what these rubs are.
01:39:14 Devin love everything you do have recently listened to the audio book, was very incredible experience, really looking forward to the sequel.
01:39:20 Wanted to ask what is your background writing?
01:39:22 Any good guides?
01:39:25 My background in writing is when I was a little kid.
01:39:30 I I was very young when I read Tolkien very young and very young when I read Douglas Adams.
01:39:37 Because I have an older brother that was significantly older than me.
01:39:41 And as he would read books, I'd want to read the same books.
01:39:47 And they were probably too much for me to.
01:39:49 Handle like just.
01:39:51 Mentally, I couldn't understand him as well and but I still wanted to do it, so I remember.
01:39:57 The first time I read Tolkien.
01:39:59 I mean, I was really young.
01:40:01 I was like in second grade, you know, like and.
01:40:04 Tokens, not light reading.
01:40:06 And I had to read them.
01:40:08 Well, I had to read it a few times to, like, really kind of like, I would read.
01:40:11 The same chapter over and.
01:40:12 Over and over again to like, really kind of understand it and.
01:40:19 I think in 3rd grade I was reading Douglas Adams and that one that made more sense.
01:40:23 He's way easier to read.
01:40:26 But it was.
01:40:28 I think those two English authors that.
01:40:33 Uh made me want to write, and so I started writing.
01:40:38 Really crappy, like really crappy.
01:40:41 I'm glad I don't have them anymore.
01:40:43 Like they they I'm sure they exist on some hardware or hard drive in a landfill somewhere, but wrote like, really crappy novels and you know.
01:40:55 But everything good and then I didn't really start writing until I started writing for.
01:41:01 Films and I started writing short films and I started writing feature films and I started well obviously, and while I was doing that, I was also writing a lot of commercials.
01:41:14 For television.
01:41:16 Wrote a lot of copy for 32nd commercials.
01:41:21 Run a lot of.
01:41:23 You know, Internet videos and stuff like that.
01:41:28 And then when I wrote DOTR.
01:41:31 I wrote it.
01:41:36 You know, we I don't want to say I wrote it like a movie script, but I kind of did, you know, like, if you've read it.
01:41:42 It it's probably structured more like a movie script than it is a novel.
01:41:48 Because in my head that's kind of how I visualized it is like as a movie.
01:41:53 I would love to make it as a movie.
01:41:55 It would, you know, it would cost too much money, at least for now.
01:42:00 To do that, so which is why I'm not even going to attempt to do that because.
01:42:03 It would be bad.
01:42:05 And I don't want it to be bad.
01:42:06 I'd rather it be a good book.
01:42:07 And not a movie at all than.
01:42:10 Be a a good book and a bad movie.
01:42:17 It's just I think it's.
01:42:19 Just you gotta read, read what you like.
01:42:22 And uh.
01:42:25 Try writing.
01:42:26 I don't want to say copy the style or anything like that because I don't even.
01:42:29 Feel like I did that ever, but it get it when you read it.
01:42:33 Now I read a lot when I was a kid, like I read a lot when I was a kid.
01:42:38 Another thing I'd even do now I listen to a lot of audio books.
01:42:43 And I think when you listen to a lot of audiobooks.
01:42:47 And you read or you read a lot.
01:42:51 It's it's something that comes with practice.
01:42:53 But it gives you.
01:42:55 You'll have.
01:42:56 It'll be a little more.
01:42:56 You'll be a little more into.
01:42:57 It'll be more a little more intuitive to you to start writing because you've read so many books.
01:43:02 You kind of just, at least for me, I mean, if.
01:43:05 There's some people that have, they write outlines and they do all this planning and they have like.
01:43:09 This whole thing and.
01:43:11 I don't even do that.
01:43:13 I just.
01:43:13 I kind of, I might think of an outline in my head.
01:43:17 But then I just start writing and it kind of just goes where it goes and then I edit it.
01:43:22 A lot, you know.
01:43:25 And like I've said before, and this applies to my second book, the last 10% takes the most amount of.
01:43:32 Time like you can.
01:43:34 Get it 90% there to where it's like.
01:43:37 That's the easy thing, and it's a good it's like with movie making.
01:43:40 It's an easy thing and and it's and it's good.
01:43:42 That it's an easy thing is to try.
01:43:44 To get it done and get it as a thing instead of a bunch of fragments, try to get it all together as a movie or as a book or as a song.
01:43:54 Or any creative project that you're working on.
01:43:56 Try to make it a thing first.
01:44:00 And then once it's a thing and not just a bunch of chapters that are all disconnected or a bunch of, you know, lyrics and over here and some chords over here or or, you know, instead of like, a a bunch of footage that hasn't been edited, try to edit it all onto a timeline and get it all together.
01:44:21 And read it and make sure that it.
01:44:24 It makes sense and and you know, go from there.
01:44:29 It's so much easier to whittle it down and like and again, I think this probably comes from my experience in doing video for so long where the first step was just edit it onto a timeline so that you can watch it.
