right?2700:01:32,120 --> 00:01:33,120I'm doing my job.2800:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,120I'm doing my job well.2900:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,400I am a focused individual.3000:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,360Ask chef, ask my coworkers.3100:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,280I don't take a lunch.3200:01:41,280 --> 00:01:46,440I usually work nine hours and I don't take a fucking lunch.3300:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,280I do my best to stay focused.3400:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,880I'm working.3500:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,280The particular manager comes in around like two o'clock, right?3600:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,040I'm in there around 10 o'clock.3700:01:57,040 --> 00:02:02,240This manager comes in around two o'clock and he's working around where I'm working.3800:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,080He's prepping steaks.3900:02:05,080 --> 00:02:10,660I keep reaching over him to grab like safety gloves, to grab like health gloves, whatever,4000:02:10,660 --> 00:02:12,520because like I just need to like keep changing them out, you know?4100:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,720I don't know why I should have just grabbed the glove box from him, but I thought that4200:02:17,720 --> 00:02:18,800he was using those gloves too.4300:02:18,800 --> 00:02:25,840So whatever, I was, I continued to reach over him to grab new gloves whenever I needed.4400:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,600And you know, just doing my thing.4500:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,520This man is blasting Sam Smith, okay?4600:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,520He's blasting the Sam Smith song Unholy, where it's like,4700:02:35,520 --> 00:02:44,080Oh my God, and I'm thinking about all the demonic shit that was going around Twitter4800:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,160when that song came out.4900:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,800I was like, what is going on right now?5000:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,720And he's like singing along, like yelling with it.5100:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,320And like, I'm just like listening to this guy and I'm just like doing my

towards the end of the day, he pulls me aside.5500:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,400He pulls me to the back and he goes, Hey Cole, I just got to talk to you for a second.5600:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,800And he has another manager as witness.5700:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,440And I go, yeah, what's like, what's going on?5800:03:14,440 --> 00:03:20,240And he goes, so what I need to bring up is like a little awkward.5900:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,080There was a lot of moments, there was a lot of times today when you were reaching over6000:03:24,080 --> 00:03:33,920me and for the necessity of just like safety and food prep and you know, this is a, I want6100:03:33,920 --> 00:03:36,160to communicate that this is a part of the uniform.6200:03:36,160 --> 00:03:41,320You know, we need to just keep a better, we need to keep better practices around our hygiene.6300:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,320All right.6400:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,840And just, if you could just bring in, it's like a stick at the odorant, just do like6500:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,720a little swipe here and there throughout the day.6600:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,040Like it was really like, I was able to smell it.6700:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,040I was

on.7000:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,360Like, and this man literally said that I fucking stunk.7100:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,180This man was saying that I stink and he came in four hours early and I'm sorry, four hours7200:04:06,180 --> 00:04:08,320later than I came in.7300:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,800I'm literally like chopping potatoes.7400:04:10,800 --> 00:04:17,080People, I'm literally picking up boxes of potatoes and then I'm chopping them up.7500:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,400Like I don't understand how that like, does that not create sweat?7600:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,240Am I not a man?7700:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,120And this guy's like, as he's telling me that I stink, he's making self-deprecating jokes7800:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,640about how he doesn't sweat and how he doesn't have hair.7900:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,720Like okay, bro, like I'm the absolute opposite from you.8000:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,760Like when I do shit, my body works.8100:04:37,760 --> 00:04:38,920Like I

work.8600:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,600And this man came in hours after I started working.8700:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,040I'm in front of ovens.8800:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,860I work in a

welcome, welcome one and all.11100:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,000It's a beautiful time to be here.11200:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,440What I want to talk about, and this is what I, and I want that story to be an example11300:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,240of how I'm trying to practice what I preach today.11400:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,240Okay.11500:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,280Because I don't think I was completely in the right.11600:06:16,280 --> 00:06:18,880I opened saying I was a dick.11700:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,720I don't want to be a dick and I don't want to be ran by my emotions.11800:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,800And I don't want my systems to be petty.11900:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,960I don't want to be involved with petty corrupt systems.12000:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,960And what I'm failing at this week, what I'm learning from this week is I still have work12100:06:36,960 --> 00:06:42,160to do and I need to do better at adapting and I need to do better at communicating.12200:06:42,160 --> 00:06:47,580And I need to do better at, at like reacting to people, no matter how like justified it12300:06:47,580 --> 00:06:50,720might feel like I'm really trying to just come clean here.12400:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,720I'm trying to like, just like release this negative energy.12500:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,040I don't want to be in a fight.12600:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,320I don't want to be in this like pity, patty shit.12700:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,400I want to be in like a healthy system, dude.12800:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,000And I want to be a healthy person.12900:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,720I want to be a healthy individual.13000:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,960And it's a constant journey.13100:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,120And I'm not perfect at that.13200:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,960And this week really showed me that.13300:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,080And it connects to what I'm trying to connect to, to what I'm trying to share today.13400:07:18,080 --> 00:07:24,800This today's project, I'm trying to connect this like whole spirituality thing with podcasting.13500:07:24,800 --> 00:07:25,800Okay.13600:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,800That's like the thread.13700:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,680I found a thread today.13800:07:28,680 --> 00:07:34,040And what I was speaking of last week, I'm going to bring up some clips of, of the spiritual13900:07:34,040 --> 00:07:40,680podcast and talking about this new world, talking about this new beautiful world where14000:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,240like our systems are better.14100:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,720Talking about a new beautiful world where like people are living cohesively, you know,14200:07:47,720 --> 00:07:56,120talking about where there's like just less, less greed, less corruption, more love, more14300:07:56,120 --> 00:08:02,600evolution, you know, more art, you know, more like if there's profit, you know, everyone14400:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,360should be like, like more people should be profiting.14500:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,960How can we get as many people as rich as possible?14600:08:09,960 --> 00:08:15,280You know, like that's a more beautiful world that my heart feels is like, like I want that,14700:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,280dude.14800:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,240I want that beautiful world.14900:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,120And it's met with like this, like this, this past week of me just constantly, like I'm15000:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,360trying to discuss this better new world and I'm not living it.15100:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,520Like I am admitting this week that I just am not living that beautiful world.15200:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,760And it's because like I'm stressed a little bit, you know, it's getting hotter.15300:08:34,760 --> 00:08:41,320It's a full moon, you know, like I'm just going to blame everything else around me for15400:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,640my actions, you know?15500:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,000But I'm listening to the spiritual podcast.15600:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,040I'm listening to Aubrey Marcus, right?15700:08:49,040 --> 00:08:58,640Aubrey Marcus has, so first of all, to clarify, I am not following Aubrey Marcus to a T. I15800:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,880am simply trying to be objective to what Aubrey is saying.15900:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,080I think that's really important to distinguish because what we're talking about today when16000:09:06,080 --> 00:09:14,480it comes to spirituality is a new framework for the world, a global spiritualized framework16100:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,360for, like for humanity, okay?16200:09:18,360 --> 00:09:24,240So these clips are Aubrey Marcus talking to, it's a buddy of his named Mark Gaffney.16300:09:24,240 --> 00:09:31,240And Mark Gaffney, his journey begun as a rabbi, but it has since evolved into just like them16400:09:31,240 --> 00:09:40,920being friends and him communicating this new, yes, I should say new, this new way of thinking16500:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,960about your place in space, pretty much.16600:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,600I'm going to pull up the podcast description here.16700:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,040So the link is in the show notes.16800:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,520The link is on this chapter.16900:09:50,520 --> 00:09:57,720I just wanted to read a little bit of the podcast description that I was pulling from.17000:09:57,720 --> 00:10:04,400So Gaffney began his path as an ordained rabbi intimately versed in the ancient Aramaic texts.17100:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,920This guy studied like Aramaic texts.17200:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,120He knows what these words are, you know?17300:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,640He knows that ancient language.17400:10:13,640 --> 00:10:19,480The description says, we recognize together that this is a new, that this new story, so17500:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,440they're talking about this like story, right?17600:10:21,440 --> 00:10:26,360The story for humanity, the story for your life, the story for your soul, and that we're17700:10:26,360 --> 00:10:27,960in like a new era.17800:10:27,960 --> 00:10:35,560We're in like a new era for a brand new story to evolve because all of our systems around17900:10:35,560 --> 00:10:39,160us are crumbling and becoming corrupt.18000:10:39,160 --> 00:10:46,040And whatever old story that we live by, whatever old story that the system worked on, that18100:10:46,040 --> 00:10:52,160story is dying and just no longer functioning.18200:10:52,160 --> 00:10:57,640And they're saying that they got a pull from everywhere for this new story.18300:10:57,640 --> 00:11:03,120So they got a pull together, what is it, what is it, what is it, like from every philosophy,18400:11:03,120 --> 00:11:09,800from every religion, like their point of view is to create a new story that involves the18500:11:09,800 --> 00:11:17,880best of every single piece of wisdom and positive growth that can happen.18600:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,840So this is coming from all the religions.18700:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,640This is coming from all the philosophies.18800:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,440This is coming from everywhere, dude.18900:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,320This per- now here's where it gets controversial.19000:11:30,320 --> 00:11:36,560Not so controversial, but if I were to describe this to my family, they would be hesitant.19100:11:36,560 --> 00:11:44,680The word that they're trying to use to encompass this new type of story is called Cosmoerotic19200:11:44,680 --> 00:11:45,680Humanism.19300:11:45,680 --> 00:11:48,160Okay, that's wild.19400:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,280First of all, that's like insane.19500:11:50,280 --> 00:11:51,840We're going far out, folks.19600:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,080We're going far out.19700:11:53,080 --> 00:11:59,320I'm telling you how I'm failing this week and now we're going far out into space, bro.19800:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,760Cosmoerotic space, like Cosmoerotic Humanism.19900:12:03,760 --> 00:12:11,520Definition of humanism is to simply believe in rational and practical solutions and to20000:12:11,520 --> 00:12:17,400not believe in a spirit or to not believe in God.20100:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,360The human experience is on earth and that's it.20200:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,720Once you die, you're done.20300:12:23,720 --> 00:12:30,200And if we're going to play in this game of developing a new story, if we're going to20400:12:30,200 --> 00:12:37,640do our best to be objective of what tools are available to us, and if we're really going20500:12:37,640 --> 00:12:42,600to be honest, if we're going to be honest that the world is falling apart, our world20600:12:42,600 --> 00:12:50,480systems are falling apart, we need to pull from anything that can help us.20700:12:50,480 --> 00:12:55,040Most of these clips are like a minute long, maybe they're two minutes long, whatever.20800:12:55,040 --> 00:13:00,040This first one is Aubrey talking about just the necessity for a new story.20900:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,880We find ourselves and we can feel it and we know it, we look around and we can see it.21000:13:03,880 --> 00:13:10,600We're in a time in between stories and we have to transition from our old default story21100:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,520to a new story.21200:13:12,520 --> 00:13:21,120And this new story has to be a true story, a story that actually abides by first principles,21300:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,720first values of the cosmos.21400:13:22,720 --> 00:13:27,620The necessity, because of existential risk and because of everything that's collapsing21500:13:27,620 --> 00:13:31,320with the old story, now is the time.21600:13:31,320 --> 00:13:37,960And what we're trying to do here is actually build the superstructure, like the scaffolding21700:13:37,960 --> 00:13:44,760and fill it all in for what this new story actually might look like, and then how do21800:13:44,760 --> 00:13:50,040we abide in that new story and participate in that new story.21900:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,440At first glance, this is pretty arrogant, right?22000:13:53,440 --> 00:13:59,880At first glance, something like this, creating something like this, it seems to be like ego22100:13:59,880 --> 00:14:05,520driven, you know, like, oh, it's another religion or it's like, it's another story, you know,22200:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,560people like to belittle religions for being stories.22300:14:09,560 --> 00:14:14,640So now you have this one guy going the opposite direction, you know, but if you're to not22400:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,600judge, if you're to pull back the judgment, you know, there's also a layer of honesty22500:14:19,600 --> 00:14:25,760and that they're like, honestly, even if I don't fully agree with Aubrey Marcus or Mark22600:14:25,760 --> 00:14:33,060Gaffney on everything that they say, I am of the personal belief that, you know, humans22700:14:33,060 --> 00:14:39,560do need new stories for themselves, our systems of belief are crumbling and have crumbled22800:14:39,560 --> 00:14:40,560and have been corrupted.22900:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,320So we need to evolve them.23000:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,800And here's a little clip of Mark Gaffney himself.23100:14:45,800 --> 00:14:54,720So this guy, here's the rabbi talking about the evolution of love and how that, so they23200:14:54,720 --> 00:15:05,160mentioned first principles and like psychedelics and like, and doing meditating, whatever.23300:15:05,160 --> 00:15:10,000The common theme when you do all that is that the world and universe is made of love.23400:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,300And it's about understanding love on an energetic level.23500:15:14,300 --> 00:15:19,180You know, it's about matching the vibrations, like, like the physical vibrations.23600:15:19,180 --> 00:15:24,200And it's about understanding how all these things are evolving, how there's been an23700:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,520evolution to humanity, there's an evolution to consciousness.23800:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,560And the evolution of consciousness, which we need to talk about is real.23900:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,000Consciousness evolves.24000:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,840So a thousand years ago, democracy was an absurdity.24100:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,720It was a completely absurd notion, although, and although democracy is breaking down in24200:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,200many ways today, which is a different conversation, which we need to have, and we need to go to24300:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,520the next stage of democracy towards a synergistic democracy.24400:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,760But the notion of democracy exists, right?24500:15:51,760 --> 00:15:56,240The notion that we can talk about factory farms is real, right?24600:15:56,240 --> 00:16:01,800The fact that slavery was outlawed in modernity and universal human rights, right, came into24700:16:01,800 --> 00:16:02,800being, right?24800:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,880In other words, a new story was told.24900:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,780In other words, in the Renaissance, at that time between worlds and time between stories,25000:16:08,780 --> 00:16:10,880they told a new story.25100:16:10,880 --> 00:16:16,900And to the precise extent that they got the storylines right, that the plot lines were25200:16:16,900 --> 00:16:23,080accurate, they birthed what you were referring to as really the dignities of modernity, the25300:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,560stunning evolutions of consciousness, which are evolutions of love itself.25400:16:27,560 --> 00:16:32,600In every time period, there is like a Renaissance, you know, you have like the classic Renaissance25500:16:32,600 --> 00:16:37,680with Da Vinci and that beautiful like religious art.25600:16:37,680 --> 00:16:43,120And whenever there is a time of liberation that is described as a time of Renaissance25700:16:43,120 --> 00:16:49,440and life and rebirth and a new era, you know, and to bring up slavery, to bring up that25800:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,320era like that was in the midst of a civil war, you know.25900:16:53,320 --> 00:16:59,320And I see alignment with the Fourth Turning Book that I've mentioned a billion times before.26000:16:59,320 --> 00:17:06,240You have these cycles of history and at the end of the cycle, there's always a crisis.26100:17:06,240 --> 00:17:12,760That's like how that last 20 years of the of like a generation is described.26200:17:12,760 --> 00:17:19,160It's a crisis and things are dying and falling apart, but it's coming to a boom, you know.26300:17:19,160 --> 00:17:25,080It's coming to a new way of living, into a new economy, whatever.26400:17:25,080 --> 00:17:31,440And to think about evolution that way and to think about consciousness that way, you26500:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,280know, that's something that's new to me.26600:17:34,280 --> 00:17:39,000That's something that I haven't put much thought in, but right off the bat, I can say that26700:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,060I can see how that makes sense, you know.26800:17:42,060 --> 00:17:44,960Has humanity's consciousness evolved?26900:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,360You know, how has humanity's consciousness evolved?27000:17:48,360 --> 00:17:52,800How has consciousness evolved?27100:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,840It's evolved to a way where we have airplanes and we have microphones and we have podcasts27200:17:56,840 --> 00:18:01,360and we have the internet and we have all these things.27300:18:01,360 --> 00:18:07,260And there's also a time when human consciousness, you know, we were involved and we were evolving27400:18:07,260 --> 00:18:12,520alongside certain plants, you know, certain psychedelics, you know.27500:18:12,520 --> 00:18:20,200Aubrey Marcus mentioned how there's all these indigenous people that were destroyed by empire,27600:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,200you know.27700:18:22,200 --> 00:18:27,000I don't need to go like too deep into it, but that's just the common understanding of27800:18:27,000 --> 00:18:32,960any larger government, larger group coming in and taking land and taking over where these27900:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,560other native people have.28000:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,960Most likely those natives had some sort of psychedelic ritual, had some sort of religious28100:18:38,960 --> 00:18:44,400way of organizing, and there was wisdom in that.28200:18:44,400 --> 00:18:45,840There was connection to earth.28300:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,240There was connection to the cosmos, to space, you know.28400:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,940When you do these psychedelics, you see that connection to God.28500:18:53,940 --> 00:19:01,480You see that connection to everything around you and how it's all made of love.28600:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,480Most recently, we just haven't been involved with that.28700:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,360We just haven't been...28800:19:06,360 --> 00:19:10,780The way technology has evolved, our brains have not...28900:19:10,780 --> 00:19:14,720Our consciousness has not evolved at the same rate.29000:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,000There was a time when it was pretty steady, you know.29100:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,880Evolution of the mind was steady.29200:19:19,880 --> 00:19:26,120But in the last like 200 years, 100 years specifically, it has been severely slowed29300:19:26,120 --> 00:19:32,220down because of outlaws of plants and fungi and because of corruption within systems and29400:19:32,220 --> 00:19:36,560because of profit within medicine.29500:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,600They don't want you to be connected.29600:19:38,600 --> 00:19:44,800They don't want you to be connected with your senses or with your own awareness.29700:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,440Anyone who's into...29800:19:46,440 --> 00:19:52,460Anyone who's eating animal based, anyone who's aware of what's in the food knows this.29900:19:52,460 --> 00:19:54,600They don't want you to be healthy.30000:19:54,600 --> 00:20:02,260The authorities, the CEOs, the regulators, they don't care if you're healthy.30100:20:02,260 --> 00:20:07,960They don't care if your mental health is good or not.30200:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,880They just care what they can get from you.30300:20:10,880 --> 00:20:17,440They just care about how you can be moved around in the system.30400:20:17,440 --> 00:20:18,440And it's just not cool, dude.30500:20:18,440 --> 00:20:19,440It's just not cool.30600:20:19,440 --> 00:20:26,960Here's another clip of Gaffney talking about the future of humanity and how if we can develop30700:20:26,960 --> 00:20:32,280something, if we can develop some sort of ritual or some sort of framework of living30800:20:32,280 --> 00:20:40,400that can help our consciousness evolve, then it's going to evolve exponentially.30900:20:40,400 --> 00:20:45,240The same rate technology has ramped up, we can do the same with our consciousness.31000:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,840And that's a whole new beautiful world in itself, you know?31100:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,200And now we're talking about a self-actualizing world.31200:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,560That's the code for an open society.31300:20:53,560 --> 00:20:54,560Oh, my bad.31400:20:54,560 --> 00:20:55,560My bad.31500:20:55,560 --> 00:20:56,560Hang on.31600:20:56,560 --> 00:20:57,560Pause, pause, pause.31700:20:57,560 --> 00:20:58,560So then he goes...31800:20:58,560 --> 00:20:59,560So he's talking about...31900:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,880Now this is a wild concept, open society.32000:21:02,880 --> 00:21:09,360If we can develop a structure of thinking and living together that allows our minds32100:21:09,360 --> 00:21:17,960to evolve exponentially, what does that lead to for our structures politically and economically?32200:21:17,960 --> 00:21:28,200So he had this analogy, Gaffney had this analogy of an anthill and the history of studying32300:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,200ants, right?32400:21:29,200 --> 00:21:34,800And how they function and how at first they thought that there was a general ant, like32500:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,880there was one ant commanding the other ants.32600:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,640And then a few decades passed by and then they realized that no, it's actually like32700:21:41,640 --> 00:21:46,120there's something else happening, there is no general ant.32800:21:46,120 --> 00:21:51,040And then after that, they figured out that it was actually this process of pheromones32900:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,520being shared throughout the ants.33000:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,600And that's how the ants are able to build their colony.33100:21:57,600 --> 00:22:04,040All the ants work together cohesively because of some sort of information within these pheromones.33200:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,760What does that look like for humans if we collectively evolve our consciousness?33300:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,320And this is where he starts out at.33400:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,200Talking about a self-actualizing world.33500:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,640What's the code for an open society?33600:22:17,640 --> 00:22:23,440Politically, open societies will actually fall before closed societies unless they have33700:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,760inherent principles of self-actualization.33800:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,440They have to have actually simple first principles.33900:22:30,440 --> 00:22:37,320The answers to who, where and what, and we've talked today about who, which actually generate34000:22:37,320 --> 00:22:42,580the self-actualization of a robust, healthy, strong open society.34100:22:42,580 --> 00:22:46,880So what we're talking about today is actually the future of humanity.34200:22:46,880 --> 00:22:47,880Is that possible?34300:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,560Is that possible at all?34400:22:49,560 --> 00:22:56,080I have a longer clip here about him talking about self-organizing, a self-organizing species.34500:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,960I think you'll find this super interesting.34600:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,760This is one of the longer clips, two minutes and 20 seconds.34700:23:01,760 --> 00:23:02,840Can we self-organize?34800:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,880Is that part of evolution as well?34900:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,720What is the future of humanity?35000:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,720Are we going to continue to have these top-down structures?35100:23:11,720 --> 00:23:19,600Are we going to continue to be led by one orchestrator, by one conductor?35200:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,560What is the future of organizing?35300:23:23,560 --> 00:23:24,560What is that?35400:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,280That's such an open question.35500:23:28,280 --> 00:23:34,480It's very interesting to try to think through the steps when it comes to this guy speak.35600:23:34,480 --> 00:23:40,600So imagine that the human world is not reduced to its totalitarian until, and now you can35700:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,480just feel the palpable excitement.35800:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,560Imagine we can actually generate a self-actualizing society.35900:23:46,560 --> 00:23:52,960Now what is the equivalent to what might be the firm, what might not be, but to the self-organizing36000:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,120principle at the level of until?36100:23:56,120 --> 00:23:58,520What's that principle at the human level?36200:23:58,520 --> 00:23:59,520Uniqueness.36300:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,040It's gorgeous.36400:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,040In other words, we actually self-organize.36500:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,040Uniqueness.36600:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,040You hear that?36700:24:06,040 --> 00:24:11,880He says the key to self-organizing is uniqueness.36800:24:11,880 --> 00:24:16,040At the level of until, what's that principle at the human level?36900:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,040Uniqueness.37000:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,040It's gorgeous.37100:24:18,040 --> 00:24:24,680In other words, we actually self-organize, we self-actualize in alignment with our irreducible37200:24:24,680 --> 00:24:29,740uniqueness because uniqueness is actually the inborn quality of the human being.37300:24:29,740 --> 00:24:35,960If I clarify my uniqueness, I don't get stuck in my separate self-commodified talents.37400:24:35,960 --> 00:24:41,320I actually get quiet enough in true self to listen to who I am.37500:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,400I feel myself with the field of being because I need a glimpse of true self.37600:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,440It might be through dance, it might be through psychedelics, it might be through meditation,37700:24:49,440 --> 00:24:50,440and it might be through nature.37800:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,040I need a glimpse of the realization that I'm part of the field.37900:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,680And then I'm an irreducibly unique expression of the field.38000:24:56,680 --> 00:25:02,080I listen to my uniqueness and I self-actualize to give my unique gifts into my unique circle38100:25:02,080 --> 00:25:07,200of intimacy and influence through the medium of my uniqueness.38200:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,280So all of a sudden, who am I?38300:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,280I'm a unique incarnation of Eros of love.38400:25:12,280 --> 00:25:20,480So imagine as the structure of a political society of a new universe that's on the brink38500:25:20,480 --> 00:25:30,160of metacrisis, imagine the responses of planetary awakening and love through unique self symphonies.38600:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,920And I think what's necessary is for people to actually get a taste.38700:25:33,920 --> 00:25:39,480They have to have a taste in the fragrance of their unique self and to realize that when38800:25:39,480 --> 00:25:46,360you actually do that, that actually the unique self of an individual is not going to exhibit38900:25:46,360 --> 00:25:50,360the same characteristics that we've seen from fellow mankind for so long.39000:25:50,360 --> 00:25:51,360As the ego.39100:25:51,360 --> 00:25:52,360The ego.39200:25:52,360 --> 00:25:54,080The unique self and the ego are completely different from each other.39300:25:54,080 --> 00:25:58,480Because we think of people, people are greedy, they're bellicose, they're all of the aspects39400:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,800of the rivalrous conflict and win-lose metrics.39500:26:00,800 --> 00:26:07,280But actually if you go through all of these levels of self, you actually do transcend39600:26:07,280 --> 00:26:13,000all of those shadow qualities that actually make people want to hurt other people because39700:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,640that's actually a disconnection from the field.39800:26:15,640 --> 00:26:20,240We can create paths that can get rid of our egos and our selfishness.39900:26:20,240 --> 00:26:26,360I think that's the real ability human beings haven't leaned into.40000:26:26,360 --> 00:26:31,000All of us complain about selfishness, all of us complain about greed, all of us complain40100:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,320about evil in the world.40200:26:33,320 --> 00:26:39,040And yet none of us have done much to create a path for a human to walk down to get rid40300:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,080of that.40400:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,080Or to shed away.40500:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,040Or you know what I mean?40600:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,820That's the type of systems we need.40700:26:47,820 --> 00:26:54,120We need to allow people to go into the depth and to conquer their shadow so that their40800:26:54,120 --> 00:26:57,600shadow doesn't take over.40900:26:57,600 --> 00:27:03,040When a person can't control their emotions, their emotions are affecting everyone around41000:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,040them.41100:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,040It's like tentacles.41200:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,320That's why stoicism has been more popular.41300:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,400Because you're holding everything together and you're being quiet, you're being firm,41400:27:13,400 --> 00:27:14,400you're being strong.41500:27:14,400 --> 00:27:22,960That's a completely different way of saying, I don't like you, did you see this drama?41600:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,640You're pulling from everything.41700:27:25,640 --> 00:27:31,600You are reacting to everything when you're allowing your emotions to drive your life.41800:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,960And that's not self organizing.41900:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,880You self organized.42000:27:36,880 --> 00:27:43,200It seems as though their perspective is the way for a bunch of people to come together42100:27:43,200 --> 00:27:50,640is that each individual sees what they can bring uniquely to the table.42200:27:50,640 --> 00:27:56,040Every individual needs to develop their own path to God.42300:27:56,040 --> 00:28:02,600They need to develop their own understanding of their ego and of their shadow.42400:28:02,600 --> 00:28:08,160And to be led by what they love and to be led by what they desire.42500:28:08,160 --> 00:28:14,760Because when you go through these sort of psychedelic rituals, when you go through any42600:28:14,760 --> 00:28:20,520sort of thing like that, a dark retreat or any sort of fasting, you know?42700:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,200It's this, the metaphor is always death, right?42800:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,400Death and rebirth and you come back different.42900:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,000If you do it right, you have better understanding of yourself.43000:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,840And you come out loving more people.43100:28:34,840 --> 00:28:35,840That's incredible.43200:28:35,840 --> 00:28:40,160When was the last time people were able to talk about that?43300:28:40,160 --> 00:28:48,120We are in such a rare space, a rare moment in time where people can be super selfish43400:28:48,120 --> 00:28:53,840and super greedy and they can start a media company and they can just be the biggest asshole43500:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,760and start all the drama.43600:28:55,760 --> 00:29:03,280And then there could be a situation where they like, to get the clicks, they go to South43700:29:03,280 --> 00:29:08,560America and they do some ayahuasca and they have some wild experience in ayahuasca.43800:29:08,560 --> 00:29:14,680And then all of a sudden they do the work and they apologize for what they've done and43900:29:14,680 --> 00:29:23,800they make changes and they start producing a different story, producing different content.44000:29:23,800 --> 00:29:30,480That's just like a silly example that I think of when I think about loving myself or evolving44100:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,600my love.44200:29:32,600 --> 00:29:38,860If I want to be in a better world, I need to figure out what's my path.44300:29:38,860 --> 00:29:40,240And that's been my biggest struggle.44400:29:40,240 --> 00:29:48,160I've just been randomly doing mushrooms, I've been randomly doing weed.44500:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,160Doing weed?44600:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,200What's that office meme?44700:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,680Are you doing alcohol?44800:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,640I don't know, I forget.44900:29:56,640 --> 00:30:04,360I have one last clip of both Aubrey and Gaffney speaking about the evolution.45000:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,480The evolution of living.45100:30:06,480 --> 00:30:07,820So in other words, we didn't make up love.45200:30:07,820 --> 00:30:09,960It's not a social construction of reality.45300:30:09,960 --> 00:30:10,960Love is eternal.45400:30:10,960 --> 00:30:11,960It insects reality.45500:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,920We can access it through the interior sciences.45600:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,720But even if you don't use the interior sciences and their yogas...45700:30:16,720 --> 00:30:17,720Okay, interior sciences.45800:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,160We've got to talk about that.45900:30:19,160 --> 00:30:24,160This guy talks about the religious stuff, the psychedelic stuff, the breathing stuff46000:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,400as interior sciences.46100:30:27,400 --> 00:30:32,400So we're pulling together all the philosophies, all the sciences, all the religions, all the46200:30:32,400 --> 00:30:38,320psychedelic trips and we're bringing it together for the interior sciences.46300:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,160I think that's interesting.46400:30:40,160 --> 00:30:41,160That's not even like...46500:30:41,160 --> 00:30:42,920That's not even agree with them.46600:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,760I just like that word, interior science.46700:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,720Can I get a degree in that?46800:30:47,720 --> 00:30:48,720Love is eternal.46900:30:48,720 --> 00:30:49,720It insects reality.47000:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,680We can access it through the interior sciences.47100:30:51,680 --> 00:30:56,480But even if you don't use the interior sciences and their yogas, you can access it empirically47200:30:56,480 --> 00:31:01,520through the essential structures of the four forces of reality that are animated by a deeper47300:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,160Eros that animates all four of them.47400:31:04,160 --> 00:31:09,360What Stuart Coughlin calls the incessant ceaseless creativity of cosmos that moves us from Quarks47500:31:09,360 --> 00:31:10,360to culture.47600:31:10,360 --> 00:31:11,360Yes, mud to Mozart.47700:31:11,360 --> 00:31:12,360Yes, that Curie to Bach.47800:31:12,360 --> 00:31:13,360What was it?47900:31:13,360 --> 00:31:14,360Slime to Shakespeare.48000:31:14,360 --> 00:31:15,360Slime to Shakespeare.48100:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,400So that's the movement of the evolution of love.48200:31:18,400 --> 00:31:19,680So it's eternal.48300:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,520It's a structure of cosmos.48400:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,840It exists and it animates all of reality and it evolves.48500:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,720You understand we're in a new world.48600:31:27,720 --> 00:31:28,960It's actually shocking.48700:31:28,960 --> 00:31:34,760And I think the correlation between uniqueness and evolution was actually the piece that48800:31:34,760 --> 00:31:39,640I needed in my mind to understand that evolution is creating new uniqueness, which is a phrase48900:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,120that you've told me that I understood.49000:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,360I felt it that there's more God to come.49100:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,080People think of God as the eternal God.49200:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,040Well, no, God is actually living through us at all times.49300:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,120And we'll talk about all this too.49400:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,840These are many whole things that we could spend many hours on.49500:31:54,840 --> 00:31:59,680But that's because of our uniqueness, because God is having an Aubrey experience, a Mark49600:31:59,680 --> 00:32:04,280experience, a Christian experience, a Matt experience, a Ryan experience, a KK experience.49700:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,840It's all happening where God is having that unique experience.49800:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,000And so it's evolving in that way.49900:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,520And so that's why there's more to come.50000:32:11,520 --> 00:32:17,000And so even God is evolving as the uniqueness plays itself out into the cosmos.50100:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,000It's a radically different view from just simple Christianity.50200:32:20,000 --> 00:32:26,520Like this is radically, radically, radically, radically different than what I grew up in.50300:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,360And frankly, my family might say, like, Cole, this is dangerous.50400:32:29,360 --> 00:32:35,520Cole, don't be so open-minded that you have an open head or you have a flat head, whatever50500:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,720they said.50600:32:37,720 --> 00:32:38,720Humanism is bad.50700:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,440Humanism is Satanism.50800:32:41,440 --> 00:32:42,440Astrology is fake.50900:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,160Astrology doesn't mean anything.51000:32:46,160 --> 00:32:51,240And yet there is, I feel as though I...51100:32:51,240 --> 00:32:56,720Things that they're saying makes me feel correct about the way I'm thinking.51200:32:56,720 --> 00:33:03,060There has to be some new way of organizing my spirit.51300:33:03,060 --> 00:33:08,560There has to be a way where we as people can come together.51400:33:08,560 --> 00:33:09,560When it comes to...51500:33:09,560 --> 00:33:15,980So if there's a Christian who might criticize humanism, I think it's just interesting to51600:33:15,980 --> 00:33:23,320juxtapose the era in which humanism was created.51700:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,200Humanism like the word popped up in the dictionary.51800:33:27,200 --> 00:33:32,840That is the same era that the Civil War was happening and black people were being freed51900:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,720in America.52000:33:34,720 --> 00:33:42,460And so if there's a Christian who's saying that this humanistic standard of living and52100:33:42,460 --> 00:33:48,520organizing is inherently bad, I just want to invite you to see the era.52200:33:48,520 --> 00:33:53,320Just look at the era that which it popped up in and what has changed since then and52300:33:53,320 --> 00:33:58,880what are the principles from that developed in that era that you might agree with.52400:33:58,880 --> 00:34:03,080And I'm saying there's a possibility of taking the best from everything and combining it52500:34:03,080 --> 00:34:09,400and creating a new technology, a new platform.52600:34:09,400 --> 00:34:10,600That has to be possible.52700:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,440I want to believe that that's possible.52800:34:13,440 --> 00:34:18,520A new type of system that involves everyone and is fair.52900:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,360Is that possible?53000:34:20,360 --> 00:34:21,360Is that possible, folks?53100:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,700Do you have an answer for that, personally?53200:34:23,700 --> 00:34:24,980Do you have an answer for that?53300:34:24,980 --> 00:34:31,640Can you think of a system that involves and can potentially involve every person on the53400:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,000globe and is fair?53500:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,280I can.53600:34:36,280 --> 00:34:37,280I can.53700:34:37,280 --> 00:34:38,280You ready for this?53800:34:38,280 --> 00:34:39,760You ready for this, dude?53900:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,160You ready for this?54000:34:42,160 --> 00:34:43,980Podcasting.54100:34:43,980 --> 00:34:45,280Value for value, baby.54200:34:45,280 --> 00:34:46,280I'm not joking.54300:34:46,280 --> 00:34:47,280I'm not joking, dude.54400:34:47,280 --> 00:34:48,480I'm not joking, dude.54500:34:48,480 --> 00:34:49,480It's value for value.54600:34:49,480 --> 00:34:50,480I'm not kidding.54700:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,700It's literally, it's literally value for value.54800:34:54,700 --> 00:34:56,240That is the system that I'm bringing up.54900:34:56,240 --> 00:35:03,040This is what, like this conversation, this dialogue that we're having, I saw the connection55000:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,040with podcasting and value for value.55100:35:05,040 --> 00:35:10,640And when I play this clip of Adam Curry ranting about it, like this is one minute long, this55200:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,480is the last clip, like tell me this isn't it.55300:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,800The podcast industrial complex is just, is dead.55400:35:18,800 --> 00:35:23,940And it's just in the last throes of life breath.55500:35:23,940 --> 00:35:31,680And at the same time, emerging from that is a system that spawns the globe.55600:35:31,680 --> 00:35:37,800We have people from all over the world who are truly invested in making this work and55700:35:37,800 --> 00:35:39,520see that vision.55800:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,040But we can't lose sight of what it is.55900:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,880It's a value exchange.56000:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,280It's not just streaming dollars.56100:35:47,280 --> 00:35:55,440The whole concept is the feedback mechanism, the value of what a boost means, the number56200:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,120that is included in a boost.56300:35:58,120 --> 00:36:03,320The idea that at any moment it is up to you, you don't have to store $5 with some Yahoo56400:36:03,320 --> 00:36:04,840company.56500:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,080You can say, hey, you know what, I'm going to go get $100 of Bitcoin.56600:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,720I'm going to send that to this podcast.56700:36:10,720 --> 00:36:12,840You are in control.56800:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,600No one else is in control.56900:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,400It is truly a unique moment.57000:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,980And it's growing, not shrinking, it's growing.57100:36:21,980 --> 00:36:25,760You don't need to sit in a little tiny cube and say, oh, Father, forgive me for I have57200:36:25,760 --> 00:36:26,760sinned.57300:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,960You have direct access to God now and you are forgiven now.57400:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,240That's the message of Christ, isn't it?57500:36:33,240 --> 00:36:39,240You do not have to go through governments to be seen as a human being.57600:36:39,240 --> 00:36:41,300You do not need a social security number.57700:36:41,300 --> 00:36:47,760You do not need a passport to know that there is people that are having a good time in another57800:36:47,760 --> 00:36:48,880country.57900:36:48,880 --> 00:36:49,880You don't need that.58000:36:49,880 --> 00:36:56,400You don't need these things that our systems have used to define us.58100:36:56,400 --> 00:37:01,280You don't need some vax pass to travel the globe.58200:37:01,280 --> 00:37:02,600This is ridiculous.58300:37:02,600 --> 00:37:10,200You don't need some carbon credit thing to move about freely.58400:37:10,200 --> 00:37:16,840Whatever new world order shit, whatever world economic form thing is being developed, there58500:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,320is an antithesis to that.58600:37:19,320 --> 00:37:25,600I'm a person who just simply believes that totalitarianism is rising.58700:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,400Totalitarianism is how the new world order wants to be.58800:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,960Just trying to be top down order, top down hierarchy.58900:37:32,960 --> 00:37:37,760I see an opportunity to be more of a network.59000:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,360Humans can be more of a network.59100:37:39,360 --> 00:37:46,520It is value for value that, just right in front of me, value for value is the system59200:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,360that is healthy that involves everyone.59300:37:49,360 --> 00:37:50,360It's beautiful.59400:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,800It's a beautiful thing.59500:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,560I'm just digging more deep into it.59600:37:56,560 --> 00:38:01,280I'm doing my damn best with trying to be my best.59700:38:01,280 --> 00:38:08,240I'm trying my damn best to try to be the best man that I can.59800:38:08,240 --> 00:38:11,920I'm taking this moment to admit that I'm failing and I'm also growing.59900:38:11,920 --> 00:38:17,000I'm failing and I'm growing and I'm loving myself more.60000:38:17,000 --> 00:38:23,240Not just the ditzy, like, oh yeah, I love myself.60100:38:23,240 --> 00:38:29,400No, seriously, there's some deep emotional issues towards myself.60200:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,480There's mind issues.60300:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,880Sometimes I really feel like I'm stupid or sometimes I really feel like I'm just failing60400:38:36,880 --> 00:38:43,720all the time at what I believe in, at the work that I do, and then I might have a negative60500:38:43,720 --> 00:38:49,080interaction, and then that makes me angry, and that makes me wish harm, or that makes60600:38:49,080 --> 00:38:53,000me wish just more negativity.60700:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,440That creates a feedback loop.60800:38:55,440 --> 00:39:01,040Your emotions can create a feedback loop in your life.60900:39:01,040 --> 00:39:08,880I'm absolutely aware of that and I'm constantly practicing the calming myself down and telling61000:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,760myself to not judge or telling myself to change the energy.61100:39:12,760 --> 00:39:19,320I've got to actively, physically focus in on changing the energy in my heart and in61200:39:19,320 --> 00:39:20,320my body.61300:39:20,320 --> 00:39:25,080That's an actual physical practice for me.61400:39:25,080 --> 00:39:26,520That's just not a lot of people in the world.61500:39:26,520 --> 00:39:27,800So many people are godless.61600:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,500So many people have lost religion.61700:39:30,500 --> 00:39:32,560So many people don't care about connecting.61800:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,000There's nihilism.61900:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,360People just want to be on their phones.62000:39:38,360 --> 00:39:46,800There's this risk of humans not living up to their full potential.62100:39:46,800 --> 00:39:48,920I'm saying we should.62200:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,040We should be living up to our full potential.62300:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,640That's what America Plus is about.62400:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,600That's what Value for Value is about, dude.62500:39:55,600 --> 00:40:01,560Value for Value is about, for me personally, Value for Value is about putting out a narrative62600:40:01,560 --> 00:40:07,200that people can vibe with, putting out a narrative that people can see is healthy or healthily62700:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,360critique.62800:40:09,360 --> 00:40:14,760It was hard collecting clips today for the concept because the story that they're talking62900:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,560about, it's not very clear.63000:40:18,560 --> 00:40:23,120That's why I'm not worried about Aubrey Marcus starting some cult or something because he63100:40:23,120 --> 00:40:29,900speaks in super general terms and there's really nothing else to... There's no specific63200:40:29,900 --> 00:40:31,920belief system that he's been pushing.63300:40:31,920 --> 00:40:36,440So it is very open source like that.63400:40:36,440 --> 00:40:41,840He's even said the words open source, open source framework, open source religion, open63500:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,120source spirituality.63600:40:44,120 --> 00:40:52,060We need to treat it as if we're podcasting or as if we're building something on Bitcoin.63700:40:52,060 --> 00:40:58,320We got to come together and we need to understand what we want to share and we want to do our63800:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,040best with sharing that.63900:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,400If a person sees value in that, then they'll be involved.64000:41:04,400 --> 00:41:08,960They'll give their time, they'll give their talent, they'll give their treasure in whatever64100:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,460form.64200:41:11,460 --> 00:41:18,440This Value for Value structure, building on Bitcoin using the lightning network, that's64300:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,720how we exchange value.64400:41:20,720 --> 00:41:23,840So we don't need a bank and we don't need any company.64500:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,560We just need Bitcoin.64600:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,520That's already a revolution in itself.64700:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,560That's already a money revolution.64800:41:31,560 --> 00:41:39,520But now we have this open, decentralized media system that is podcasting and anyone in the64900:41:39,520 --> 00:41:46,120world with an internet connection can record some audio and put it up.65000:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,000It's already in front of us folks.65100:41:48,000 --> 00:41:56,840Value for Value is already that international system that is fair and involves everyone.65200:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,760Value for Value is already that.65300:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,800If I ever meet Aubrey Marcus, I've got to tell him about Value for Value because I've65400:42:02,800 --> 00:42:03,800got to get him on it.65500:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,840Value for Value is legit.65600:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,760Value for Value is how people are going to be bartering.65700:42:10,760 --> 00:42:15,480Value for Value is how people will be paying for education.65800:42:15,480 --> 00:42:23,040Value for Value is how people will be going on vacation.65900:42:23,040 --> 00:42:24,680Where's the best spot to be?66000:42:24,680 --> 00:42:29,640What does a vacation really mean if you're looking for value?66100:42:29,640 --> 00:42:30,640What does that change?66200:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,240What are you really looking for?66300:42:32,240 --> 00:42:36,080What is your truest heart desire?66400:42:36,080 --> 00:42:42,080And most likely, the thing that you're looking for is going to help other people.66500:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,860That's already a story.66600:42:43,860 --> 00:42:47,400People just leaning into their interests.66700:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,520People leaning into their dreams.66800:42:49,520 --> 00:42:53,120They meet a friend that has a connection to this and then they go to this party and then66900:42:53,120 --> 00:42:58,160they go to this concert and then they met this one person who liked him and then there's67000:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,120a phone call a few weeks later.67100:43:00,120 --> 00:43:04,800There's always that serendipity story of a person leaning into what they love or what67200:43:04,800 --> 00:43:11,360they want and what they're inspired by and just giving themselves fully to it.67300:43:11,360 --> 00:43:18,000And then the thing that they wanted happens or something even better happens.67400:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,480That story can happen for humanity.67500:43:20,480 --> 00:43:22,220I believe that.67600:43:22,220 --> 00:43:26,040That story can happen for you and me together for all eight billion.67700:43:26,040 --> 00:43:27,040How many people are there?67800:43:27,040 --> 00:43:28,040Is it three billion?67900:43:28,040 --> 00:43:29,040Or I don't even know how many.68000:43:29,040 --> 00:43:30,720It's eight billion people, right?68100:43:30,720 --> 00:43:34,640And if you're, it's going to be 10 billion.68200:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,960How can 10 billion people organize themselves?68300:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,360What's the best way to do that?68400:43:39,360 --> 00:43:45,520And it's going to be through exchanging their value, understanding their talents.68500:43:45,520 --> 00:43:50,880And I'm blessed to be in this position right now because this is one of my talents.68600:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,600This is what I believe I need to put my energy in.68700:43:53,600 --> 00:43:59,800This podcast, this show, these words, working on my words, working on my reactions, practicing68800:43:59,800 --> 00:44:05,800being better, practicing what I say I will practice.68900:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,520I fail just like everyone else.69000:44:09,520 --> 00:44:16,040And I think if we were all on the same page, if we were all on the same level about growing,69100:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,040it'd be interesting to see.69200:44:18,040 --> 00:44:19,040Wouldn't humanity just be better?69300:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,440It'd be interesting to see how our systems change.69400:44:22,440 --> 00:44:30,000How does prison change when everyone in the prison wants to be more loving?69500:44:30,000 --> 00:44:36,640How does banking change when everyone at the bank wants to be more giving?69600:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,280It is a full on consciousness shift.69700:44:40,280 --> 00:44:46,600How does Hollywood change when all they want to do is make the best movies?69800:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,160All they want to do is just be inspired and make their art and do what they can.69900:44:50,160 --> 00:44:57,840And once you do that, the money will be there, people will be fairly paid.70000:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,400We need to start at the heart.70100:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,400We need to start with the love.70200:45:02,400 --> 00:45:09,280We need to start with ourselves and we need to make sure that ourselves are aligned.70300:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,040Are you aligned?70400:45:11,040 --> 00:45:12,040Are you aligned?70500:45:12,040 --> 00:45:15,760And that's all I got pretty much.70600:45:15,760 --> 00:45:21,560I wish I had a pretty little bow to wrap all this up, but it's one of those things where70700:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,000it's not going to be...70800:45:24,000 --> 00:45:28,680It's not an easy story to wrap up because there's more to the story.70900:45:28,680 --> 00:45:30,240There's more to grow from.71000:45:30,240 --> 00:45:31,620There's just more.71100:45:31,620 --> 00:45:33,880There's more God to come.71200:45:33,880 --> 00:45:35,560There is more God to come.71300:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,160I believe that, man.71400:45:37,160 --> 00:45:38,320I believe that.71500:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,240Just more value.71600:45:41,240 --> 00:45:42,960My understanding of God will change.71700:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,480Your understanding of God will change.71800:45:46,480 --> 00:45:47,480It's this weird mix.71900:45:47,480 --> 00:45:52,640We're in this wonderful, beautiful mix of things right now where money is combining72000:45:52,640 --> 00:46:02,120with computers and religion is combining with the human individual.72100:46:02,120 --> 00:46:03,300It's wild.72200:46:03,300 --> 00:46:05,160It's a wild time.72300:46:05,160 --> 00:46:06,560I feel blessed.72400:46:06,560 --> 00:46:07,720I feel blessed.72500:46:07,720 --> 00:46:08,720I feel so blessed.72600:46:08,720 --> 00:46:10,560I want to read the boost, folks.72700:46:10,560 --> 00:46:11,960That's what I want to do right now.72800:46:11,960 --> 00:46:13,480I've been mentioning Value for Value.72900:46:13,480 --> 00:46:17,000America Plus is a value for value show.73000:46:17,000 --> 00:46:21,680I do my damn best to put out a narrative that I think is good and I think people can cling73100:46:21,680 --> 00:46:23,640onto.73200:46:23,640 --> 00:46:28,700If you see value in it, you can pay however much you want to pay.73300:46:28,700 --> 00:46:30,240That's your choice.73400:46:30,240 --> 00:46:31,400I'm building something here.73500:46:31,400 --> 00:46:35,760I'm building my own little media company, my own brand.73600:46:35,760 --> 00:46:40,780I'm doing this podcast for 20 plus years, for as long as I freaking live.73700:46:40,780 --> 00:46:44,480You bet your ass I will be here for a while.73800:46:44,480 --> 00:46:50,000The purpose for giving any money, the purpose for giving any satoshis to me is to be a producer73900:46:50,000 --> 00:46:55,280and to be a part of this feedback loop of developing better narratives, giving your74000:46:55,280 --> 00:47:00,520own insights, sharing your experience, or giving a resource.74100:47:00,520 --> 00:47:04,160This is something that is necessary for the new world.74200:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,680I invite you to just give me some satoshis, give me some value back.74300:47:07,680 --> 00:47:09,800Let me know how you feel about this.74400:47:09,800 --> 00:47:14,200These are people who just donated last week from our... from last week number 76.74500:47:14,200 --> 00:47:15,840It was a sat slinger.74600:47:15,840 --> 00:47:20,960I gave away 500 satoshis, if you listened to the whole episode last week, which is pretty74700:47:20,960 -->
