Coding Woes: I Dislike Problem Solving But Still Want To Learn A Programming Language
Maybe if I learn Python I can automate our entire podcast to fix Juan getting names wrong constantly?
In Episode #323 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: a sneak peak into my 2023 goals, why problem solving can be extremely frustrating, reasons for learning a programming language, Juan's (somewhat inaccurate) description of a chimp doco he saw, whether we would go out and live with animals in the wild, being precise with your words when learning new ones from books, my recent chat with Pete Smissen about rare house plants and an emphasis to share our awesome chapter art!
As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!

00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:09,358
Yeah, welcome everyone to a mere
mortals meandering session. It
2
00:00:09,358 --> 00:00:14,189
is Kyrin here, Juan on
the other side. And a meandering
3
00:00:14,189 --> 00:00:17,009
session is where we the mere
mortals dive deep into some
4
00:00:17,009 --> 00:00:20,849
particular topics that we're
enjoying. It's not a really
5
00:00:20,849 --> 00:00:24,329
structured one. There is no set
program for today we are out in
6
00:00:24,329 --> 00:00:27,239
the park as we usually are,
although not out in Southbank,
7
00:00:27,239 --> 00:00:31,199
because it was super busy today,
and there was gonna be a game
8
00:00:31,228 --> 00:00:33,478
there was a there was a rugby
game parking would have been a
9
00:00:33,478 --> 00:00:36,418
nightmare. It's already getting
late. So I think we made a good
10
00:00:36,418 --> 00:00:40,529
choice to come here. And we're
gonna start off with my my first
11
00:00:40,529 --> 00:00:44,399
and big one. And big one, the
big one is a good old begun and
12
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:50,548
then I've had a realization. And
my realization was whilst I was
13
00:00:50,548 --> 00:00:54,209
doing a sneak peek into some of
my long term goals that are
14
00:00:54,209 --> 00:00:58,948
coming up for further planning,
I'm sort of like, Alright, I'm
15
00:00:58,948 --> 00:01:01,439
thinking, you really kind of
neither of you are just dialing
16
00:01:01,439 --> 00:01:04,828
them down. Some of them I
haven't really set but there's a
17
00:01:04,828 --> 00:01:07,319
couple that I'm sneaking
peeking. So here's a little
18
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,888
sneak peek for you. And I was
contemplating learning some
19
00:01:10,888 --> 00:01:16,858
coding, in particular. So I've
never done any before. I can't
20
00:01:16,858 --> 00:01:19,588
say it's never particularly
interest me. But that's not
21
00:01:20,489 --> 00:01:23,248
it's, it's more I think that's
kind of like a happenstance
22
00:01:23,248 --> 00:01:26,278
thing. You know, handstands
never particularly interest me,
23
00:01:26,308 --> 00:01:30,959
but now they do. And yeah, so So
there's definitely room for
24
00:01:32,218 --> 00:01:35,069
hobbies and things that I find
cool. They're still make their
25
00:01:35,069 --> 00:01:38,159
way into my life. And I think
this one could be. But as I was
26
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:40,739
doing it, I was thinking like,
how what, what should be the
27
00:01:40,739 --> 00:01:44,069
goal that I should be set for
the next year? Should I try and
28
00:01:44,308 --> 00:01:48,478
complete a project of some
short, should I finish a course
29
00:01:48,509 --> 00:01:54,539
should I say I want to be able
to manually edit an RSS feed. So
30
00:01:54,539 --> 00:01:57,688
many options, so many different
things. And I was contemplating
31
00:01:57,688 --> 00:02:01,049
all of this, I realized, like,
you know what, I actually don't
32
00:02:01,049 --> 00:02:04,409
like problem solving. Which is
kind of funny thing for an
33
00:02:04,409 --> 00:02:08,519
engineer to be saying, I'll,
I'll dial it down a bit more,
34
00:02:08,519 --> 00:02:11,278
which was, I don't like
uncertain problems. And what
35
00:02:11,278 --> 00:02:14,579
I've noticed with
troubleshooting with, especially
36
00:02:14,579 --> 00:02:20,158
these kinds of software problems
where you have to, you know, you
37
00:02:20,158 --> 00:02:25,438
had one not too long ago, where
what was it like your phone was?
38
00:02:25,859 --> 00:02:31,169
You weren't able to connect your
phone to your TV, something like
39
00:02:31,169 --> 00:02:37,889
that? What was that? Yeah, it
was me the trouble was me
40
00:02:32,580 --> 00:02:42,449
connecting my Wi Fi and through
the Google Home to be able to
41
00:02:37,889 --> 00:02:43,650
stream Netflix or anything else
from foreign to TV. Yeah.
42
00:02:43,710 --> 00:02:47,370
So someone words, there's no,
there's no technical thing, it's
43
00:02:47,370 --> 00:02:50,759
you've all all you've got to do
is somehow get this thing to
44
00:02:50,759 --> 00:02:55,319
say, Yes, this is this should
connect this way. And those
45
00:02:55,319 --> 00:02:57,930
sorts of problems. I hate them.
I hate them with a passion.
46
00:02:58,349 --> 00:03:00,900
They, and it's I feel it's
because they're kind of
47
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:04,349
uncertain, there's no, there's
no guarantee you're gonna get
48
00:03:04,349 --> 00:03:08,400
your pay off of this thing or
fix. Or, you know, maybe the
49
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,449
solution is you have to go out
and buy a whole new thing. Or it
50
00:03:12,449 --> 00:03:15,870
can't, it can't just be solved
with what you have on hand. I
51
00:03:15,870 --> 00:03:20,580
really hate that. And it's it's
kind of I've had this for every
52
00:03:20,580 --> 00:03:24,780
time that I've had to deal with
switching of phone provider or
53
00:03:24,780 --> 00:03:30,120
something like that, or, you
know, figuring out why this file
54
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:35,550
won't export video. So for the
Premiere Pro, for example, when
55
00:03:35,550 --> 00:03:38,490
it updates, and then I have to
try and figure out okay, why is
56
00:03:38,490 --> 00:03:42,150
it now? Not working? Not? Yeah,
why are we failing completely
57
00:03:42,150 --> 00:03:46,680
each time? And look, there's,
you could sort of say some of
58
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,409
the things with some other
things, which I do like, like
59
00:03:49,409 --> 00:03:51,900
math problems, but I feel it's
because there's a definite
60
00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:54,449
solution. Someone's given me a
math problem in high school.
61
00:03:55,139 --> 00:03:57,569
There's no, it's not like
there's not going to be an
62
00:03:57,569 --> 00:04:00,960
answer. There's a single defined
answer, and you're going to get
63
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,919
your pay off. And I feel that's
the I feel that's the
64
00:04:04,919 --> 00:04:08,069
difference, which is that I just
really just like uncertain
65
00:04:08,069 --> 00:04:13,560
problems, or ones where I know
there's no optimal solution. So
66
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,110
in mining, when I was doing,
like, what's the logistics and
67
00:04:16,110 --> 00:04:19,649
things like that? Yes, there's
no, I'm never going to solve it.
68
00:04:19,709 --> 00:04:22,889
It's always going to be trade
offs. And you know, these trade
69
00:04:22,889 --> 00:04:26,339
offs will be kind of optimize
these will be slightly down, you
70
00:04:26,339 --> 00:04:30,329
can get this coal, which is a
higher quality, but you'll
71
00:04:30,329 --> 00:04:33,480
sacrifice maybe some efficiency
for one or the other machines.
72
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,060
And you know, this will have
implications down the line.
73
00:04:36,569 --> 00:04:39,360
That's okay. I can deal with
that. It's that trying to solve
74
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,540
a problem. You're not sure if
it's going to be able to work
75
00:04:42,569 --> 00:04:46,470
and I find those ones it's
impossible to gauge how much
76
00:04:46,470 --> 00:04:49,470
time is there's going to be
solved in an hour or is it going
77
00:04:49,470 --> 00:04:53,040
to take 10 hours? Yeah, okay, I
hate that shit. I hate it so
78
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,949
much. So I'm gonna have to
definitely do a lot more
79
00:04:55,949 --> 00:04:59,550
thinking about what goal I want
to set because I don't want to
80
00:04:59,550 --> 00:05:04,259
set one whereas one where I'm
finding myself doing these kinds
81
00:05:04,259 --> 00:05:08,610
of problems, which honestly,
they just make me anxious and
82
00:05:09,209 --> 00:05:12,480
jittery. I just do not enjoy
them, I find them super
83
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,410
unpleasant.
Yeah, I think with with coding
84
00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:20,339
as well, because I, myself don't
know how to code either I can
85
00:05:16,860 --> 00:05:24,509
read code and certain languages,
I could I can read JavaScript, I
86
00:05:20,370 --> 00:05:27,660
can read C sharp, I can read
Python, okay, and understand
87
00:05:24,629 --> 00:05:30,300
what's going on. I couldn't run,
I don't know all the variables
88
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:34,680
and whatnot. Gotcha. But one of
the one of the things I do know
89
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:39,660
about coding is the movement
between a bad coder or beginner
90
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:44,220
coder to being good at coding,
maybe understanding coding is
91
00:05:39,660 --> 00:05:47,100
not in itself, like the type of
what the code does. So let's
92
00:05:44,220 --> 00:05:51,149
just take a really simple
instance here and say, HTML, and
93
00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:57,060
you're going to have like a bug
loose, crawling up my leg, good.
94
00:05:51,149 --> 00:06:02,819
It was time box. Or you might be
able to create that box in 100
95
00:05:57,060 --> 00:06:06,149
lines, or make a really good
coder mobility more elegantly
96
00:06:02,819 --> 00:06:08,939
structured, so it only needs two
lines, three lines, but you're
97
00:06:06,149 --> 00:06:11,670
right, it takes. Or you could
have it in all these different
98
00:06:08,939 --> 00:06:15,180
permutations, you could build it
out of corners, you could build
99
00:06:11,670 --> 00:06:17,850
it in so many different ways. So
I get what you're saying where
100
00:06:15,180 --> 00:06:20,339
it's, you could have almost
endless amounts of okay, how
101
00:06:17,850 --> 00:06:22,199
exactly is it that I'm supposed
to be doing something? I tell
102
00:06:20,339 --> 00:06:25,949
you one thing, there's no real
answer to it. I do think that
103
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:28,980
structuring a goal, especially
for coding to be like, Okay, I
104
00:06:25,949 --> 00:06:32,550
want to learn how to build a web
page all I want to learn how to
105
00:06:28,980 --> 00:06:34,649
connect ourselves. Yeah,
something about it. That strikes
106
00:06:32,670 --> 00:06:35,490
me as like, you're not you're
not gonna have a fun time.
107
00:06:35,610 --> 00:06:38,519
I feel like the creation aspect.
I actually wouldn't mind too
108
00:06:38,519 --> 00:06:42,959
much the building of whether
it's done this way, in this way,
109
00:06:42,959 --> 00:06:47,430
and one of them's more elegant.
I feel like that's okay. It
110
00:06:47,430 --> 00:06:52,769
would be if I building something
it was working before, and then
111
00:06:52,769 --> 00:06:58,350
suddenly, it stops working. I
fixed what I think was meant to
112
00:06:58,350 --> 00:07:02,519
be fixed. And then it's now that
that wasn't actually it. It's,
113
00:07:02,519 --> 00:07:04,920
you know, those problems where
nothing has changed on your
114
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,180
part. And it's just totally on
some hidden things somewhere,
115
00:07:09,180 --> 00:07:13,290
which has now changed. And, and
it's, you know, those variables,
116
00:07:13,290 --> 00:07:15,269
like, why is my car stopped
working now?
117
00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:19,410
Yeah, look, I will say, I will
say, and I'll, if you do decide
118
00:07:19,410 --> 00:07:22,949
to go on the path of wanting to
learn coding, I would pull heed
119
00:07:22,949 --> 00:07:24,779
you on the side of trying to do
like the simplest thing
120
00:07:24,779 --> 00:07:27,899
possible. Because what you said
earlier around where you don't
121
00:07:27,899 --> 00:07:30,209
know where something's going to
take an hour or 10 hours. And
122
00:07:30,449 --> 00:07:33,209
the wording of it is debugging,
obviously, in a lot of the
123
00:07:33,209 --> 00:07:36,810
coding language, I guess you'd
say it, but you can debug it in
124
00:07:36,810 --> 00:07:40,800
any type of code that you write.
And that process literally could
125
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,019
be like, you might find out the
issue in a minute. And you might
126
00:07:43,019 --> 00:07:45,689
find the issue in like, three
weeks, you have no idea. And
127
00:07:45,689 --> 00:07:49,019
obviously, the more of a
beginner you are, the more
128
00:07:49,019 --> 00:07:51,389
you'll just have absolutely no
clue of what in the world is
129
00:07:51,389 --> 00:07:54,300
going on. So you know, the
traditional thing that you will
130
00:07:54,300 --> 00:07:57,120
learn how to write a code is
hello world, on a page, that
131
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,279
might be the easiest things. And
all the different types of
132
00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:01,410
languages, like scripts will
have different ways to do it.
133
00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:04,290
Sure, fine. But as soon as you
start veering away from like,
134
00:08:04,290 --> 00:08:09,959
the very, very, like, trodden
path of creation, you all of a
135
00:08:09,959 --> 00:08:12,180
sudden, just in this wild
country, where it's like, okay,
136
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,930
if I broke, there's, it's like,
how do I not break in? And
137
00:08:15,930 --> 00:08:17,939
you'll have to try and find
somebody who's done it somewhere
138
00:08:17,939 --> 00:08:20,459
else, and never haven't like,
good luck. You're debugging
139
00:08:20,579 --> 00:08:24,000
yourself as much as you can with
what you know of it. Yeah. What
140
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,579
do you think you want to get out
of it? I think
141
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,019
probably it would be, actually,
funnily enough, what I was just
142
00:08:31,019 --> 00:08:33,990
going to mention was automating
the boring stuff. So there's a
143
00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:37,049
book, I'm pretty sure called
automating the boring stuff,
144
00:08:37,049 --> 00:08:40,590
which is kind of, I believe,
it's kind of, you know, coding
145
00:08:40,620 --> 00:08:45,419
101 type thing, or you can,
it's, I'm not sure it's specific
146
00:08:45,450 --> 00:08:49,620
to a language, it's more of a
mindset or framework, I need to
147
00:08:49,649 --> 00:08:52,590
research it a bit more. But
essentially, that would be it
148
00:08:52,590 --> 00:08:59,399
would be being able to perhaps,
create my own little programs
149
00:08:59,399 --> 00:09:02,460
for Chapter art, for example, I
spent a little bit of time
150
00:09:02,700 --> 00:09:06,570
messing around with that. And it
is a manual process copied and
151
00:09:06,570 --> 00:09:09,509
paste from this thing copied and
pasted over here. Yeah,
152
00:09:09,538 --> 00:09:12,119
I would say to you that maybe
it's maybe something like that.
153
00:09:12,119 --> 00:09:15,089
But I know for a fact that you
can create scripts to run on
154
00:09:15,089 --> 00:09:17,428
your computer, right to do
whatever, yep, open this tab,
155
00:09:17,609 --> 00:09:20,698
open this because maybe you
could make it a goal of like,
156
00:09:21,389 --> 00:09:25,019
you know, automate three
processes, which are step step,
157
00:09:25,259 --> 00:09:27,658
type of deal, maybe it could be
like, run the script, and this
158
00:09:27,658 --> 00:09:30,418
will automatically upload select
the right file, but it's got the
159
00:09:30,418 --> 00:09:33,359
right naming structure, or that
brand will just post it. So
160
00:09:33,359 --> 00:09:35,219
you're not even doing that.
You'd click it and you go away.
161
00:09:35,788 --> 00:09:37,798
That might be able to save you
half an hour of time or
162
00:09:37,798 --> 00:09:44,070
whatever, maybe.
Yeah, yeah. So so either that or
163
00:09:38,580 --> 00:09:47,340
just being able to understand
how to use other people's ones
164
00:09:44,309 --> 00:09:51,240
because I know other people have
created similar things. But it's
165
00:09:47,340 --> 00:09:54,269
one of the hiring new use it for
modifying it slightly for
166
00:09:51,629 --> 00:10:00,240
myself, even just understanding
the basics of you know how to
167
00:09:54,269 --> 00:10:03,389
set up a new server how To
install, like I somehow
168
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:05,490
installed cast upon, I still
have no idea how I really
169
00:10:03,389 --> 00:10:09,120
managed to get that done.
Because I there was a lot of
170
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:11,370
help of other people. Yeah, that
it would be nice where I could
171
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:15,240
just be at a competent level
being okay. You know, maybe
172
00:10:11,370 --> 00:10:19,440
there's another self hosting
solution. Maybe there's I don't
173
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:23,909
Yeah, once again, need to think
about it more, but it was more
174
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:26,100
me just realizing like, Okay, I
gotta, I gotta be real careful
175
00:10:23,909 --> 00:10:30,990
with this one, because I don't
want to get like off the deep
176
00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:36,450
end quick. Yeah. Which, which is
kind of me forcing myself to do
177
00:10:30,990 --> 00:10:40,830
things which which I dislike in
a way. It's kind of like
178
00:10:36,450 --> 00:10:43,620
reflecting frustration. Yeah,
I've done incorrectly. It's kind
179
00:10:40,830 --> 00:10:46,919
of like the book goals. You
know, I've done it twice. Now
180
00:10:43,620 --> 00:10:52,049
I've kind of set myself a goal
of reading X amount of books or
181
00:10:46,919 --> 00:10:57,059
reading a certain type of book
philosophy books for this last
182
00:10:52,049 --> 00:11:00,750
year, which it's been okay. But
it's kind of also been like, I
183
00:10:57,059 --> 00:11:04,139
don't particularly want to be
reading this one right now. I
184
00:11:00,750 --> 00:11:06,330
don't. There's, there's times
for forcing yourself to do
185
00:11:04,139 --> 00:11:10,529
things, which you don't want to
do. Like, we'll talk about that
186
00:11:06,330 --> 00:11:13,799
in the procrastination one,
check out that episode from last
187
00:11:10,529 --> 00:11:18,210
week. But there's also other
times where man had, I don't
188
00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:21,990
need to, I don't need to do
there's anyone listening who has
189
00:11:19,620 --> 00:11:24,480
probably people who are
listening grew up, either
190
00:11:21,990 --> 00:11:26,279
probably better coders all are
coders because I'm a man,
191
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,419
especially in the valley valleys
by like, and yeah,
192
00:11:27,629 --> 00:11:31,109
basic, please send in a
histogram or a message or
193
00:11:31,109 --> 00:11:35,219
contact, however, but maybe some
basic things that you found
194
00:11:35,219 --> 00:11:40,499
useful a resources and what is
as a kind of sustainable thing
195
00:11:40,499 --> 00:11:44,729
to set as a goal over a year? I
think that would be a nice,
196
00:11:44,759 --> 00:11:47,429
yeah, I'm wondering whether it's
comparable to language learning,
197
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:54,360
you know, do is it like one of
those things? Because 15 hours a
198
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:59,190
month, and in that time, I'll
code or do these things? Yeah, I
199
00:11:59,190 --> 00:12:02,789
don't know. I genuinely don't
know, if it's that worth. Just,
200
00:12:02,789 --> 00:12:06,629
like, just start doing things
inside like googling it and
201
00:12:06,629 --> 00:12:09,779
seeing like, Okay, I need to do
this. Okay. I think often what I
202
00:12:10,230 --> 00:12:13,139
hear the way that people learn
to vote is like, okay, Google is
203
00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:18,149
like, here's this task to do. Go
do it and figure it out along
204
00:12:18,149 --> 00:12:20,820
the way. And here's the steps
and etc. Like by practice as
205
00:12:20,820 --> 00:12:24,990
opposed to really reading it,
like I read what it means to use
206
00:12:24,990 --> 00:12:27,509
this code or that code or this
code or the variable ablow, I'd
207
00:12:27,509 --> 00:12:31,860
like to know just start, go by
practice. Go from there.
208
00:12:32,100 --> 00:12:37,919
Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
Okay. Have you put them on? How
209
00:12:34,350 --> 00:12:42,779
to actually from a little while
ago, I saw a documentary. Yes.
210
00:12:37,919 --> 00:12:46,259
documentaries and ABC. Do you
know about Jane and the
211
00:12:42,779 --> 00:12:49,379
chimpanzees? Do you know just a
general Yeah. Do you know
212
00:12:46,259 --> 00:12:51,990
there's one I know she is Jane
Goodall. So that's what I
213
00:12:49,379 --> 00:12:54,029
thought this was Jane Goodall,
right, because this story is
214
00:12:52,019 --> 00:12:56,610
crazy. It's batshit. Crazy. It's
not Jane Goodall. But there's
215
00:12:54,029 --> 00:12:59,129
another lady called Jane. Right.
And it was about chimpanzees.
216
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:02,789
Now what that was like, It's my
dad recommended you saying her
217
00:12:59,129 --> 00:13:05,940
name was No, no, no, no. So this
is a story about a lady called
218
00:13:02,820 --> 00:13:08,009
Jane kind of her last name with
chimpanzees. But it's not the
219
00:13:05,940 --> 00:13:10,679
Jane Goodall. It's not like the
famous that people know about.
220
00:13:08,009 --> 00:13:12,809
That's right. Because as far as
I do, because my dad was like,
221
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:16,590
you've got to watch the
documentary was pretty crazy.
222
00:13:12,809 --> 00:13:20,340
It's pretty bananas. What's the
point? If Could you do a quick
223
00:13:16,590 --> 00:13:24,990
little Google while I find it?
It's type in ABC, Jane,
224
00:13:20,370 --> 00:13:26,519
chimpanzees, you'll find it. And
it's really available. So if
225
00:13:24,990 --> 00:13:28,799
anyone wants to go watch it,
obviously, go watch it. I would
226
00:13:26,549 --> 00:13:31,590
recommend it actually. It's
pretty instinct, but I'll give
227
00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:33,509
you a little highlight of it.
And look, if you're gonna go
228
00:13:31,590 --> 00:13:37,440
watch anything. I'm gonna spoil
it come back spoil for you
229
00:13:33,509 --> 00:13:41,460
folks. Probably Fast forward two
minutes. But in all intents and
230
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:44,759
purposes, I was okay. I'll sit
down I'll watch is about an hour
231
00:13:41,460 --> 00:13:48,360
and the first half. It's very
casual, right. It's just wasn't
232
00:13:44,970 --> 00:13:53,070
expected. unison's, they rode,
and I'm going to use right. But
233
00:13:48,389 --> 00:13:57,480
back in whatever, like 7080s,
something around the time, they
234
00:13:53,190 --> 00:14:02,309
decided to this couple to get a
chimpanzee, which was, like just
235
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:06,690
born and take them into their
family, in essence, taking them
236
00:14:02,309 --> 00:14:10,110
as like raising as a normal
human, just to see the nurture
237
00:14:06,690 --> 00:14:13,200
versus nature debate that was
happening around the time. And
238
00:14:10,110 --> 00:14:16,500
so they essentially raised until
he was a teenager, to the point
239
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:19,139
that's how to find like, Okay,
this chimpanzee seems to be
240
00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:21,389
doing chimpanzee stuff and
assigning to attack people, even
241
00:14:19,139 --> 00:14:25,110
though they were raising it as
much as they could as a human
242
00:14:21,389 --> 00:14:28,679
right now. Really fast forward.
As it came through this person
243
00:14:25,470 --> 00:14:31,320
that they hired, named Jane was
like, hey, we need an assistant
244
00:14:28,679 --> 00:14:33,389
to help like feed her clean her
sometimes she's on the cage.
245
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:36,539
That's what she needs to do.
They got to a point this family
246
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:40,139
like, oh, look, we can't keep
her around. It's really bad. And
247
00:14:36,539 --> 00:14:43,769
there is the other time I don't
know if it still exists, or does
248
00:14:40,139 --> 00:14:47,100
still exist. There are like a
chimpanzee rehabilitation
249
00:14:43,769 --> 00:14:50,700
centers in Africa, where they'll
try to get them back into the
250
00:14:47,100 --> 00:14:53,789
wild, right? So it took them
over there. This particular
251
00:14:50,700 --> 00:14:59,190
champion C, which was called
Lucy was called Lucy wasn't like
252
00:14:53,820 --> 00:15:01,710
going well at all didn't know
didn't want to eat like right No
253
00:14:59,190 --> 00:15:06,059
food, didn't want to like go
into normal chimpanzee society
254
00:15:01,710 --> 00:15:09,509
to this chick called Jane who
basically like fallen in love
255
00:15:06,299 --> 00:15:13,110
and like a deep relationship,
not of like sexual, but have I
256
00:15:09,659 --> 00:15:16,769
really care for this animal for
the human almost like this
257
00:15:13,110 --> 00:15:20,159
entity, this person for her. So
she was like, I'm gonna stay
258
00:15:16,769 --> 00:15:25,049
here to make sure that she can
transcend into being part of the
259
00:15:20,159 --> 00:15:27,690
chimpanzees as large. So yeah,
that's what we're about halfway
260
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:31,350
through, it was in seeming
pretty normal, I guess at this
261
00:15:27,990 --> 00:15:35,700
point, like rational. And the
person Jane is actually in this
262
00:15:31,470 --> 00:15:37,860
documentary talking about all of
the experience telling about
263
00:15:35,700 --> 00:15:39,720
what happened. So she's like,
actually tell retelling the
264
00:15:38,009 --> 00:15:42,870
story. And they've got a bit of
a flashback on what was
265
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:45,779
happening. And all of a sudden,
it's like, she's in Africa for
266
00:15:42,870 --> 00:15:49,529
two weeks. And then it's like,
she's in Africa for six weeks.
267
00:15:45,779 --> 00:15:52,139
And then like, okay, she's now
there for a month, and then she
268
00:15:49,529 --> 00:15:53,849
delays she's like, Okay,
I've got it here on the
269
00:15:52,288 --> 00:15:56,188
calendar, I've got to go back
home, because I'm sorry to run
270
00:15:53,849 --> 00:15:59,548
out of money. And basically only
It's like eating random things
271
00:15:56,188 --> 00:16:01,438
people are giving her. And
there's something in that
272
00:15:59,548 --> 00:16:05,999
particular point, as well as the
next phase of this chimpanzees
273
00:16:01,438 --> 00:16:09,328
being led into the wild was put
them into a an island, basically
274
00:16:05,999 --> 00:16:11,458
an island surrounded by water,
so there wouldn't be too much
275
00:16:09,328 --> 00:16:14,188
predators, but there was some
predators there. So they could
276
00:16:11,458 --> 00:16:18,149
start learning to eat food.
What'd she do, she taught to go
277
00:16:14,668 --> 00:16:22,469
over the, with the chimpanzees.
And the story short, she stayed
278
00:16:18,389 --> 00:16:25,528
there for six years. With this
chimpanzees are basically just
279
00:16:22,469 --> 00:16:28,078
lived in a cage. And like she
was talking about how, at the
280
00:16:25,528 --> 00:16:30,869
very beginning, they would sleep
like right on top, it was like
281
00:16:28,078 --> 00:16:33,928
the chimpanzee losing a few
other chimpanzees. And they
282
00:16:30,899 --> 00:16:37,078
would sleep on top of her cage
and shit on her and piss all
283
00:16:33,928 --> 00:16:41,278
like night, because I was so
scared. And she just also got to
284
00:16:37,078 --> 00:16:44,399
a point where she was seeing
like letters coming through from
285
00:16:41,278 --> 00:16:46,349
the outside world, like every
month be like, I hope you're
286
00:16:44,399 --> 00:16:49,589
okay. And she would write back,
but you have suddenly become so
287
00:16:46,469 --> 00:16:52,318
disconnected to humanity. She
just stopped altogether doing
288
00:16:49,589 --> 00:16:54,928
it. And so she was saying, like,
roughly for three years, she
289
00:16:52,318 --> 00:16:58,349
just lived with the chimpanzees,
and would just eat random food
290
00:16:55,109 --> 00:17:01,649
with them. And I'm imagining
shelter took a boat, like back
291
00:16:58,349 --> 00:17:04,949
and forth between the river to
like, just go see others. I
292
00:17:01,649 --> 00:17:07,499
can't remember exactly why, but
like six years, you're like,
293
00:17:04,949 --> 00:17:10,378
okay, oh, she got attacked by
one of the male chimpanzees who,
294
00:17:07,499 --> 00:17:13,259
like they would have seen this
lady as like the lead, I guess.
295
00:17:10,378 --> 00:17:16,138
And so the MailChimp as he was
like, Ah, I'm going to be a
296
00:17:13,259 --> 00:17:19,528
lead. So she got like, attacked
by this chimpanzee. He realized,
297
00:17:16,138 --> 00:17:23,759
okay, I probably should leave.
And so she reintroduce herself
298
00:17:19,558 --> 00:17:26,729
back into humanity. And she was
in Bali chair like a premonition
299
00:17:23,759 --> 00:17:30,719
of some kind and it was losing
or killed. The chimpanzee got
300
00:17:26,729 --> 00:17:33,419
killed, like, strewn around
parts everywhere. Who knows what
301
00:17:30,749 --> 00:17:35,608
it's probably a dumpster, but
he's killed or something like
302
00:17:33,419 --> 00:17:37,739
that, to that effect. And at
that point, I'm like, now this
303
00:17:35,608 --> 00:17:40,469
is like, is wild. Like one
person like goes and like lives
304
00:17:37,739 --> 00:17:42,538
for six years, which had been
the like, obviously, she really
305
00:17:40,469 --> 00:17:46,528
loved her. And she was talking
about how Pease and how good it
306
00:17:42,538 --> 00:17:49,108
felt. And you know, she didn't
miss humanity at all, anything
307
00:17:46,528 --> 00:17:51,929
like that. And then the rest of
it, like it just quickly goes,
308
00:17:49,108 --> 00:17:55,048
Oh, yes. And she returned back
to the island. And she's lived
309
00:17:51,929 --> 00:17:57,959
like, among the chimpanzees and
is like the leader of
310
00:17:55,048 --> 00:18:00,659
rehabilitation of chimpanzees
since then, and stillness today.
311
00:17:57,989 --> 00:18:03,239
So she like basically left when
she was like, 26 years old and
312
00:18:00,659 --> 00:18:10,378
never came back home. But I was
like, Man, that is some that is
313
00:18:03,239 --> 00:18:13,919
some very just crazy, very
rationality. But she, because
314
00:18:10,949 --> 00:18:18,058
she was in the documentary
telling all this, and she seemed
315
00:18:13,919 --> 00:18:22,919
so rational. So she was like,
very, it seemed very normal,
316
00:18:18,568 --> 00:18:26,398
dodgy dodgy. I was like, that's
what I did. I feels fine. I did
317
00:18:22,919 --> 00:18:28,679
it. Because I really cared for I
wanted to make sure. And I could
318
00:18:26,398 --> 00:18:31,048
see it in some parts. Like I
could relate in some part of me
319
00:18:28,679 --> 00:18:34,439
like, Okay, if I really, really
cared about something so much. I
320
00:18:31,048 --> 00:18:36,449
could imagine doing this. But
then I did have to stop myself,
321
00:18:34,439 --> 00:18:38,759
right. It's kind of the end. And
I was like, you know, when you
322
00:18:36,449 --> 00:18:42,778
when people might reflect back
and go, you don't want 200 years
323
00:18:38,759 --> 00:18:45,479
ago, I would have helped those
black people out of the minds. I
324
00:18:42,778 --> 00:18:48,179
want to try to free them or
whatever, bullshit, I would not
325
00:18:45,479 --> 00:18:50,219
have. There's no way that many
people wouldn't, wouldn't be
326
00:18:48,179 --> 00:18:52,618
doing that. But that's what most
people were doing, you know,
327
00:18:50,219 --> 00:18:55,318
they were just going along with
what normal society would be
328
00:18:52,618 --> 00:18:57,719
telling them to do. So I think
even in that moment, I'd be
329
00:18:55,318 --> 00:19:00,358
like, No, I'm not staying
staying around for six years on
330
00:18:57,719 --> 00:19:03,239
a deserted island to look after
the thing and then come back and
331
00:19:00,358 --> 00:19:05,848
do it forever. So I just I got
to decide for myself, I'm not
332
00:19:03,239 --> 00:19:09,358
that sort of person. I was gonna
ask you the question. Do you
333
00:19:05,848 --> 00:19:14,038
think there could be any animal
that you could fall so so in
334
00:19:09,419 --> 00:19:17,729
love to make you absolutely up
and take leave and never return
335
00:19:14,038 --> 00:19:18,358
again and just live live away
from humanity when
336
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,609
I'm not the biggest animal
person? Anyway,
337
00:19:20,609 --> 00:19:24,390
so moving away from humanity,
entice you into something that
338
00:19:24,390 --> 00:19:29,400
makes you feel like oh, that's,
I think I've told you about my
339
00:19:26,069 --> 00:19:33,750
mini fantasy I've had before
where the caves? Yeah, I go out
340
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:38,910
into you know, an Uluru type
rock. So big rock for those who
341
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:42,900
Ayers Rock for maybe the non
Australians. Just like a
342
00:19:38,910 --> 00:19:47,190
gigantic clay fucking huge rock
and taking a bunch of dynamite
343
00:19:43,170 --> 00:19:50,220
out there and just like blowing
caves and creating sculptures
344
00:19:47,220 --> 00:19:54,089
and then dying in there. And
then people 100 years later,
345
00:19:50,220 --> 00:19:56,880
200,000 years later being like,
Whoa, look at all this crazy
346
00:19:54,089 --> 00:19:59,970
like that. That'd be kind of
cool, like one of those hidden
347
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:06,479
mysteries but
By the way, side side thing I
348
00:20:01,949 --> 00:20:11,489
did find in boozer booking for
Tasmania, that you can book a
349
00:20:06,479 --> 00:20:15,659
cave in New South Wales, I
believe it is, I think it's like
350
00:20:11,489 --> 00:20:19,138
$1,400 a night. And it's
literally a cave that they've
351
00:20:15,689 --> 00:20:21,179
just, I'm assuming it just
existed in already this shape
352
00:20:19,138 --> 00:20:23,818
and they've carved out a bit
more of it and turned it into a
353
00:20:21,179 --> 00:20:27,028
hotel that you can say like a
room or something like that. So
354
00:20:23,818 --> 00:20:30,838
it does look pretty cool. Looks
very expensive. So maybe they go
355
00:20:27,028 --> 00:20:33,358
live out your, your fantasy of
living in a cave of some form
356
00:20:31,078 --> 00:20:39,839
living in some rocks.
No, no, none of that appeals to
357
00:20:33,450 --> 00:20:43,259
me. Animals. I keep them at
arm's length. I'm surprised she
358
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:46,799
didn't get ripped to pieces
earlier by while I just getting
359
00:20:43,349 --> 00:20:50,700
attacked in general by
chimpanzees of I don't know,
360
00:20:46,799 --> 00:20:53,940
this is more just like the Joe
Rogan stuff I've heard about it
361
00:20:50,700 --> 00:20:57,089
from for years where he's, you
know, he will fucking loves the
362
00:20:53,940 --> 00:21:00,869
gym. So just the dude but just,
wow, there's chimps. And they
363
00:20:57,269 --> 00:21:04,079
are when you when you see them,
they are bloody strong, you
364
00:21:00,869 --> 00:21:05,970
know, just biceps bolje.
Well, and the thing is, there
365
00:21:04,079 --> 00:21:07,950
was actually a speaking of
Dragon, I was listening to it
366
00:21:05,970 --> 00:21:10,920
just in the drive here. And he
was talking about how, let's
367
00:21:07,950 --> 00:21:13,440
say, I'm Michael Jordan, you
like he's really, really good.
368
00:21:11,460 --> 00:21:15,990
But you kind of have to have a
little bit of a mental, like
369
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:18,480
deficiency, like you have to
have something a little bit
370
00:21:15,990 --> 00:21:21,269
mentally wrong with you to just
want to win at all costs. Like
371
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:25,440
no matter what, and be like a
dickhead to people just be what
372
00:21:21,269 --> 00:21:27,990
others might be like, Oh, that's
a little bit too much. But it's
373
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:30,660
like, but you have to sometimes
do that will be like that to be
374
00:21:27,990 --> 00:21:34,559
so good. They give me an example
of like, Tiger Woods, and the
375
00:21:30,660 --> 00:21:38,279
fact that he was you know, his
dad pushed him super hard when
376
00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:41,039
he was one year old and partying
all the time and to become like
377
00:21:38,279 --> 00:21:43,799
really, really great. And of
course, he became some people
378
00:21:41,039 --> 00:21:46,410
say, you know, the greatest
golfer there is or maybe others
379
00:21:43,799 --> 00:21:50,670
would say, at least in top 10
Plus or whatever. But you know
380
00:21:46,410 --> 00:21:53,339
that I also came at the extreme
costs of all these other
381
00:21:50,670 --> 00:21:57,599
deficiencies issues now with
like, his legs, his hips, like
382
00:21:53,339 --> 00:21:59,609
all sort of stuff. I was like,
Yeah, you kind of have to be
383
00:21:57,599 --> 00:22:01,410
able to get to those extremes.
It's I guess, you have to take
384
00:21:59,670 --> 00:22:04,019
like, there's going to be all
these other deficiencies that
385
00:22:01,410 --> 00:22:07,769
come to it. I guess what it also
sparked in my mind, I was like,
386
00:22:04,019 --> 00:22:10,920
Okay, this Jain person. He just
strikes me as if she had put her
387
00:22:07,769 --> 00:22:13,410
that level of tenacity to
something else. I feel like she
388
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:15,660
would have could have similarly
achieved like something
389
00:22:13,410 --> 00:22:18,900
incredible for the world like
something insane. Like maybe she
390
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:25,829
was like so tenacious, and who
knows why just for Camelia why
391
00:22:18,900 --> 00:22:28,829
not? What, Amelia what's the
lady's name, the one that flew
392
00:22:25,859 --> 00:22:32,220
the first time over Amelia
Earnhardt Earnhardt. Like
393
00:22:28,859 --> 00:22:34,529
Danny's like, like that level,
like so tenacious that you like
394
00:22:32,279 --> 00:22:37,140
just accomplish all these crazy
things. But she just decided to
395
00:22:34,529 --> 00:22:40,740
put all her tenacity to look
after Scott Adecco. I actually
396
00:22:37,529 --> 00:22:43,619
couldn't find her name. All I
found was Jane Goodall. It'll
397
00:22:40,740 --> 00:22:45,150
just be up here on your screen
people. And so that's
398
00:22:45,690 --> 00:22:47,670
what I remember was like Lucy,
that's the name of the
399
00:22:47,670 --> 00:22:49,650
chimpanzee. So if you want to
actually work, go watch that.
400
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,650
It's quite nice. I give that
gave away the whole, complete
401
00:22:52,650 --> 00:22:55,319
sorry, there's nothing really
like there's nothing else that
402
00:22:55,319 --> 00:22:59,220
you will learn apart from how it
is to live with a chimpanzee
403
00:22:59,250 --> 00:23:03,660
like day to day.
Yeah. You know, even the story
404
00:23:00,180 --> 00:23:06,480
itself actually doesn't interest
me that much. So I'm pretty sure
405
00:23:03,660 --> 00:23:10,829
I've heard versions of this
where people do it with dogs,
406
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:14,009
and with other animals, which
are kind of dangerous, but not
407
00:23:11,130 --> 00:23:19,769
dangerous enough to just
completely mess them up. That
408
00:23:14,009 --> 00:23:21,869
was, yeah, though. People love
animals. And some people love
409
00:23:19,769 --> 00:23:26,279
them.
We're not We're not huge animal
410
00:23:23,250 --> 00:23:28,740
lovers enough. We might get
like, heaps of hate histograms
411
00:23:26,279 --> 00:23:32,250
coming in from here from lizards
being like, I'll do that to my
412
00:23:28,740 --> 00:23:35,700
cat. You know, it's my cat was
like whatever not to like, learn
413
00:23:32,250 --> 00:23:38,670
to go go back to a wild cat.
Yeah, I'll say with my cat out
414
00:23:35,700 --> 00:23:38,789
in the wild, I'll tell you. If
you're
415
00:23:39,029 --> 00:23:41,640
if you're doing that you're
probably not going to need much
416
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,490
material possessions. So just
convert it all to Bitcoin. And
417
00:23:47,460 --> 00:23:51,420
look, we'll look after for you.
In 10 years time, we'll get you
418
00:23:51,420 --> 00:23:52,980
on the podcast, we can talk
about your experience in
419
00:23:52,980 --> 00:23:56,250
Seattle. Yeah, we'll
film the documentary. Yeah.
420
00:23:54,150 --> 00:24:00,420
Yeah, I
actually was, this actually goes
421
00:23:56,250 --> 00:24:02,640
to, I guess, something that I'd
forgotten about. And we used to
422
00:24:00,420 --> 00:24:05,789
do quite a lot, but we don't do
as much, but just being precise
423
00:24:02,670 --> 00:24:09,690
with the words and even like
language. And so I heard, I
424
00:24:05,789 --> 00:24:15,089
heard it'd be said on a podcast
etymology, like the etymology of
425
00:24:09,839 --> 00:24:17,339
x a word. And I was like, Oh, I
like I like the sound of
426
00:24:15,089 --> 00:24:21,779
etymology. That's, that's quite
cool. And in my mind, I was
427
00:24:17,339 --> 00:24:24,569
going to, I kind of, I kind of
thought I knew what it meant,
428
00:24:21,779 --> 00:24:27,480
but not exactly what it meant.
In my mind. I was like, oh, you
429
00:24:24,660 --> 00:24:31,859
know, I could be saying things
like, Oh, we could find the
430
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:35,339
etymology of, of humans. I was
using it as a concept. As an
431
00:24:31,859 --> 00:24:36,150
etymology. You can look up the
word and
432
00:24:36,180 --> 00:24:40,140
by that you meant what? Like,
what what did you think if you
433
00:24:40,140 --> 00:24:42,509
meant etymology of humans, what
what did you think
434
00:24:42,539 --> 00:24:45,569
I meant is like, all that's
fine, like, the root beginning
435
00:24:45,569 --> 00:24:49,319
of the concept of the idea,
something to that regard, but
436
00:24:49,319 --> 00:24:53,160
it's in specifically the word
it's the word the actual, like,
437
00:24:53,190 --> 00:24:56,519
human, where that came from, I
guess. So the etymology of the
438
00:24:56,519 --> 00:25:00,390
actual word itself. So I was
like, Oh, okay. I would have
439
00:25:00,390 --> 00:25:02,940
gotten that wrong. I would have
been like the wrong terminology
440
00:25:02,940 --> 00:25:06,420
of of that particular word. I
guess I just came to the
441
00:25:06,420 --> 00:25:09,150
realization to be like, ah,
yeah, okay, there's probably
442
00:25:09,779 --> 00:25:13,319
other uses of words or language
that I've probably gotten sloppy
443
00:25:13,319 --> 00:25:16,680
with that I'm using it or I'm
right. Especially reading it
444
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,970
because in obstacles away by
Ryan Holiday, the man if I could
445
00:25:20,970 --> 00:25:24,660
put so much just extra words,
just for extra words, sake, you
446
00:25:24,660 --> 00:25:26,369
know what you put like,
something that you've never
447
00:25:26,369 --> 00:25:28,650
heard before you I'd be like,
Dude, why even use it? I'm sure
448
00:25:28,650 --> 00:25:31,230
you can use it any other
different way, but he just does.
449
00:25:31,950 --> 00:25:35,819
And I'm not going actively to
find out exactly what it means.
450
00:25:36,509 --> 00:25:39,960
I'm just reading and go, Okay. I
kind of know what he is saying
451
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,680
here. Like, I get the concept of
the sentence. I'm assuming this
452
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:48,269
means this. And so I won't go
and like actually check it out.
453
00:25:48,539 --> 00:25:51,509
Where I probably should, because
I'll go and like resave that
454
00:25:51,509 --> 00:25:53,400
word, it'd be like, Oh,
actually, no, that doesn't mean
455
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,539
that it actually means
this specifically, when they do
456
00:25:54,119 --> 00:26:03,599
that if it appears two or three
times. I'm also reading a book.
457
00:25:57,539 --> 00:26:05,730
Somebody had always done this by
Ernesto savato. And
458
00:26:05,970 --> 00:26:09,450
so burrito YouTubers, Sabra. So
Bray,
459
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,650
yep. So about heroes and terms,
basically, an old drive so I'm
460
00:26:13,950 --> 00:26:17,730
not exactly sure how the that
word gets translated. You get
461
00:26:17,730 --> 00:26:24,930
the rough picture. And it's
Argentinian Spanish. And they
462
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,410
Yeah, I mean, every country has
its its slang. And it just
463
00:26:28,410 --> 00:26:30,930
depends on how much the author
particularly wants to use that
464
00:26:30,930 --> 00:26:37,230
slang. But, I mean, Argentinian
slang is the only one I've heard
465
00:26:37,230 --> 00:26:40,799
where they've got a name for
Argentinian tinny and slang,
466
00:26:40,829 --> 00:26:44,460
which is lymphatic. So I think
they've got, you know, their
467
00:26:44,460 --> 00:26:49,470
slang level might be even at a
better game than actually no,
468
00:26:49,470 --> 00:26:53,549
sorry, I believe Ching Gardo as
well as maybe the sort of like
469
00:26:53,549 --> 00:26:56,970
Mexican slang, so, but I've
never heard a word for Colombian
470
00:26:56,970 --> 00:27:01,950
slang. All I'd say is just like,
it's Colombian. So there's a
471
00:27:01,950 --> 00:27:06,690
fair few words that he's thrown
around there, which I just go. I
472
00:27:06,750 --> 00:27:11,099
even tried to research them as
hard because you have to know
473
00:27:11,099 --> 00:27:14,369
exactly where to be looking on
Google or some of these
474
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,240
dictionaries, because it's very,
very specific. Very specific. So
475
00:27:18,269 --> 00:27:21,900
yeah, yeah. I mean, just depends
if you want to be a bit more
476
00:27:21,900 --> 00:27:26,130
well read, if you want to, but I
think well read as opposed to
477
00:27:26,130 --> 00:27:30,930
you need to expand your Spanish.
I'll bring that up in a minute.
478
00:27:31,529 --> 00:27:35,369
Yeah. Yeah, I think it was more
just getting the I'm going to
479
00:27:35,670 --> 00:27:37,769
read you like, you're right.
Like, I'm not going to be
480
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,700
reusing every single one of
those words that I'm learning
481
00:27:41,910 --> 00:27:44,490
and how hard it's got one. I'm
not learning them like but flat
482
00:27:44,490 --> 00:27:46,890
out I'm not learning number two.
There's one of them that I wish
483
00:27:46,890 --> 00:27:49,589
I could recall one of them cuz I
was just like, Dude, why even
484
00:27:49,589 --> 00:27:52,440
uses word you could use? It's
almost like, like epistemology.
485
00:27:52,529 --> 00:27:55,829
Well, it's like when you bring
back a, like an 1800s word. And
486
00:27:55,829 --> 00:28:01,289
it's like, no, like, why?
Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah.
487
00:27:58,380 --> 00:28:04,740
Well, there's there's a whole
bunch of words which I, I've,
488
00:28:01,289 --> 00:28:08,849
I've heard Sam Harris say, for
example, and I, yeah, I kind of
489
00:28:04,740 --> 00:28:14,819
know it. But if I actually
wanted to use epistemology, it
490
00:28:08,849 --> 00:28:18,660
would be a get it kind of right,
but not not exactly right. Yeah.
491
00:28:14,819 --> 00:28:22,650
Ya know, what I wanted to bring
up was a celebration. One is now
492
00:28:18,660 --> 00:28:25,799
30 Is joined the awesome 30
Club, such as, you know,
493
00:28:22,650 --> 00:28:29,640
distinguished people, such as
myself, and all 30 year olds. I
494
00:28:25,799 --> 00:28:33,720
know that in every other third
of Europe in the UN, every other
495
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:37,559
person who will be 30 But yeah,
yeah, we went to a kind of like
496
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:41,880
a an event last night which your
you slash your family put on.
497
00:28:38,039 --> 00:28:44,789
And we're just yeah, that was
just as funny moment when we're
498
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:47,819
arguing about whether your your
your sister had better Spanish
499
00:28:44,789 --> 00:28:52,440
quality versus quantity was
compensation. Yeah, yeah. And
500
00:28:47,910 --> 00:28:57,630
your mom did the right thing and
yeah, and had Yeah, hedged your
501
00:28:53,549 --> 00:29:01,680
dad. What that took sides? He
Yeah. Well, he did he did you
502
00:28:57,660 --> 00:29:02,220
hear what he said about you?
Yeah, he's,
503
00:29:02,339 --> 00:29:05,730
well, he's had the sight of
like, oh, one's got more
504
00:29:05,970 --> 00:29:08,670
quantity. But my sister's got
more quality. Yeah,
505
00:29:08,700 --> 00:29:12,119
no, but then he said, Your
sister's is better. Yeah. Yeah.
506
00:29:12,119 --> 00:29:17,730
So that was just not in front of
me. That took a huge a huge
507
00:29:17,730 --> 00:29:20,640
point of dad took aside you Dad
took a side and yeah, yeah, so
508
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,539
we're just saying how your, your
Spanish is lacking in
509
00:29:24,930 --> 00:29:29,400
vocabulary. For for some, some
things. Yeah.
510
00:29:29,759 --> 00:29:32,699
Even there's even words of
Spanish I'm learning now. With
511
00:29:33,028 --> 00:29:36,568
Java going through and learning
suppose yeah, hell this mean?
512
00:29:36,568 --> 00:29:38,969
I'm like, What do you mean like
some grammatical structuring,
513
00:29:38,969 --> 00:29:41,669
were like, Oh, I would say it
this way. And then do it like
514
00:29:41,669 --> 00:29:44,338
it's like never an internet
site. That's fine. I might know
515
00:29:44,338 --> 00:29:47,489
something like no Duolingo is
wrong here. This is wrong. Like
516
00:29:47,489 --> 00:29:53,608
the way Duolingo teaches below.
No, sorry. Short, it would be
517
00:29:53,608 --> 00:29:57,479
like a butthole Yeah, be a jam
like dude. No one uses bow like
518
00:29:57,509 --> 00:30:01,469
that is not you say it's Koto.
You'd say like codable is short,
519
00:30:01,528 --> 00:30:06,028
like corto. Ito? Yeah, chiquito
whatever, whichever way like I'm
520
00:30:06,028 --> 00:30:09,269
like, bio is not like the most
commonly like how has it been
521
00:30:09,269 --> 00:30:11,219
like taught but again, obviously
they're probably getting
522
00:30:13,230 --> 00:30:15,630
I wouldn't be too harsh on
Duolingo because they have to.
523
00:30:16,259 --> 00:30:19,079
They're doing it for everyone
but every Spanish speaker so
524
00:30:19,079 --> 00:30:25,859
it's not to get just
get better get some AI is gone
525
00:30:21,569 --> 00:30:27,000
and teacher more specifically to
like what you need. I'm sure
526
00:30:25,859 --> 00:30:32,339
they could do,
for example that if someone's
527
00:30:27,029 --> 00:30:36,210
learning English, they might be
tempted to put in I reckon,
528
00:30:32,339 --> 00:30:40,170
instead of I think, but I'm
pretty sure Duolingo would be
529
00:30:36,210 --> 00:30:43,170
gone. No, no, no, that's not
acceptable. And do they let
530
00:30:43,170 --> 00:30:48,119
you learn like slang ish terms?
Duolingo not that I've come
531
00:30:48,119 --> 00:30:52,619
across an Australian like a you
learn just Australian, and then
532
00:30:52,619 --> 00:30:54,750
some Australian slangs I
actually feel like that that
533
00:30:54,750 --> 00:30:57,839
would be quite useful. There'll
be some uses to that.
534
00:30:58,349 --> 00:31:02,250
Yeah, but it's, that's not what
their course is for. If you want
535
00:31:02,250 --> 00:31:05,880
that. Join, I literally just had
the conversation with Pete from
536
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,329
Ozzy English probably be out.
I'm hoping the day after this
537
00:31:09,329 --> 00:31:12,720
one's released another one with
him. We didn't actually even
538
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,380
talk about any language stuff.
He's, he's gotten into plant
539
00:31:16,380 --> 00:31:19,109
collecting at the moment. So
land collect, yeah, actually his
540
00:31:19,109 --> 00:31:22,200
kind of funny thing. So in that
conversation, we were talking
541
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:29,490
about hobbies and the dreaded
word monetization. Which I
542
00:31:29,490 --> 00:31:33,119
disliked that word, but in any
case, and he was saying how when
543
00:31:33,119 --> 00:31:37,559
he starts something up, he is
basically almost instantly
544
00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:43,140
looking for a way for his return
on his investment of time or
545
00:31:43,140 --> 00:31:49,109
capital to be able to bring that
back into himself. So for
546
00:31:49,109 --> 00:31:55,710
example, his his he got a PhD
and gonna say like marine
547
00:31:55,710 --> 00:31:59,009
biology or something like that
was around that sort of area
548
00:31:59,039 --> 00:32:01,619
that used to just do a lot of
stuff with turtles and things
549
00:32:01,619 --> 00:32:06,059
like that. And but found that he
didn't actually enjoy it,
550
00:32:06,450 --> 00:32:09,930
created this podcast called
Aussie English, and he's managed
551
00:32:09,930 --> 00:32:14,099
to make a fairly successful
podcast pays for him and his
552
00:32:14,099 --> 00:32:19,710
family's lifestyle. Beautiful.
He's gotten into rare plants
553
00:32:19,740 --> 00:32:22,950
collecting so this is getting
back to the sort of biology side
554
00:32:22,950 --> 00:32:26,069
a little bit more rare
houseplants I should say,
555
00:32:26,339 --> 00:32:31,049
qualify that with that. But uh,
you're saying you laid out I
556
00:32:31,049 --> 00:32:33,990
think you put in like 10 grand
into houseplants
557
00:32:35,490 --> 00:32:42,119
so, like, unreal to me, but
yeah, and but you know, with the
558
00:32:36,809 --> 00:32:45,690
idea and with unbelievers
putting into practice of then
559
00:32:42,119 --> 00:32:48,869
being able to keep take snippets
of this, and then you send it to
560
00:32:45,690 --> 00:32:52,500
other people, and they will pay
you for that. And, you know,
561
00:32:48,869 --> 00:32:56,309
hundreds even 1000s for a
snipping or a survey can also
562
00:32:52,500 --> 00:33:00,029
grow their risk. So they can
also grow their rare ugly plant.
563
00:32:56,309 --> 00:33:03,690
He's he was noticing, actually,
that sort of similar to how
564
00:33:00,029 --> 00:33:07,589
money works, that array of
plants industry is similar,
565
00:33:03,690 --> 00:33:11,400
where some of the highest Oh, I
agree with how ugly is shit, and
566
00:33:07,650 --> 00:33:15,960
it's just a rarity, Rarity, and
they're very hard to actually
567
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:20,759
maintain and, and grow. But I
was contrasting that with me
568
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:25,559
doing handstands, which is, no,
there's no purpose. There's no
569
00:33:20,849 --> 00:33:28,740
final goal for it. I'm not doing
it to join Cirque du Solei. I'm
570
00:33:25,559 --> 00:33:33,029
not doing it to teach people I'm
not doing it to. I have no,
571
00:33:28,740 --> 00:33:36,900
there's zero plan in my mind of
this ever making me a single
572
00:33:33,029 --> 00:33:40,710
turn. Yeah. And he was saying,
Man, I do not understand that.
573
00:33:36,930 --> 00:33:44,609
So what about for you? If you
were picking up a new hobby,
574
00:33:40,710 --> 00:33:48,630
like coding, for example? Would
it be in your mind to be able to
575
00:33:44,609 --> 00:33:53,880
create money from that? Is that
something that's forefront or
576
00:33:48,630 --> 00:33:58,140
No? Or does it even come later?
For me, I was like, Ah, I don't
577
00:33:54,180 --> 00:34:01,619
even know if it it might come
eventually for me. But I was
578
00:33:58,140 --> 00:34:05,880
just explaining more how my
general philosophy was kind of
579
00:34:01,619 --> 00:34:10,710
build something first, and then
take opportunities from it
580
00:34:05,910 --> 00:34:13,199
later, rather than be building
and trying to take opportunities
581
00:34:10,710 --> 00:34:16,110
at the same time.
Yeah, I mean, it's a hard
582
00:34:13,829 --> 00:34:19,920
question. I think that
complexity to come to it that
583
00:34:16,110 --> 00:34:25,230
that it does depend on where you
are in some stages with life.
584
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:30,420
Let's just say you were like an
example Pete was really wanting
585
00:34:25,230 --> 00:34:33,570
to get into you know, getting
rare plants for the home, but
586
00:34:30,420 --> 00:34:36,630
also was maybe like struggling
to make ends meet. But you
587
00:34:33,570 --> 00:34:39,659
really want to do that. Okay,
there might have to be like some
588
00:34:36,630 --> 00:34:42,000
real view into like, okay, if
I'm going to do this if there's
589
00:34:39,659 --> 00:34:44,010
going to be a good return, or am
I just going to be wasting my
590
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,690
money here. So
in his case, this isn't it. So
591
00:34:46,739 --> 00:34:50,489
I'm saying like, if it was like,
if it's that sort of space, and
592
00:34:50,489 --> 00:34:52,800
maybe you'd be like, Okay, I've
really haven't think about the
593
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,889
money perspective. Let's just
say for some whatever reason say
594
00:34:55,889 --> 00:35:00,780
for you Hanson's if you know
whatever. right on the positive
595
00:35:00,780 --> 00:35:04,230
Oh, okay now like I've got, I've
got to make ends meet ends meet,
596
00:35:04,230 --> 00:35:07,739
I need money. And I'm putting
four hours a day into Hanson's,
597
00:35:07,769 --> 00:35:10,349
but now I'm gonna put four hours
into working. Okay, you might
598
00:35:10,349 --> 00:35:12,719
have to be like, Okay, I need to
do two hours of working until
599
00:35:13,139 --> 00:35:15,750
something like that. Right? So I
think he doesn't bend because I
600
00:35:15,750 --> 00:35:19,019
think, for me personally, when I
was younger, I do you remember
601
00:35:19,349 --> 00:35:22,019
having a thought of maybe a lot
of things? I'd be like, Oh,
602
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,530
well, how can I turn this into a
business idea or something that
603
00:35:25,860 --> 00:35:28,769
could live like leverage it into
more, not specifically money,
604
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,500
but it could have been more
followers, it could be more
605
00:35:31,769 --> 00:35:34,469
reactions, it could be more
network, whatever, you'd say,
606
00:35:34,469 --> 00:35:38,070
whatever. But now, I guess I'm
in a position where I don't need
607
00:35:38,070 --> 00:35:41,190
any of that in the position of
like, okay, I've got a happy
608
00:35:41,190 --> 00:35:44,460
lifestyle, I'm totally fine with
that sort of thing. So any extra
609
00:35:44,460 --> 00:35:48,179
hobbies that I'm adding, like
learning French, like, I guess I
610
00:35:48,179 --> 00:35:51,599
could still say, like my
training today, there's no end
611
00:35:51,599 --> 00:35:54,960
goal in sight. And it's not like
I'm chasing it so that I'm one
612
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,869
day going to be good enough
French that I can go make money.
613
00:35:57,869 --> 00:36:00,630
I'll teach people and I'm like,
now I just want to do because
614
00:36:00,630 --> 00:36:02,909
I'm finding it engaging. It's
sort of like picking up
615
00:36:02,909 --> 00:36:05,159
something old today. That was
really a long time back. And I'm
616
00:36:05,159 --> 00:36:07,650
gonna do it forever. Probably
not. But it's something that's
617
00:36:07,650 --> 00:36:10,409
cool. And I'm not expecting
anything from it. So I think
618
00:36:10,409 --> 00:36:13,110
that's more than mindset now.
But again, if I was in a
619
00:36:13,110 --> 00:36:16,710
position where my time was
coming to light, it's pretty
620
00:36:16,710 --> 00:36:21,809
critical. And even though it's a
voluntary hobby, my full plans
621
00:36:21,809 --> 00:36:24,570
might change where we'd have to
go, Okay, no, this has to be
622
00:36:24,570 --> 00:36:29,489
making a return for me. If I am
down to like, paycheck to
623
00:36:29,489 --> 00:36:32,909
paycheck, and maybe I could be
spending their time doing online
624
00:36:32,909 --> 00:36:35,369
surveys to make money or some
crazy stuff like that. Yeah. So
625
00:36:35,519 --> 00:36:38,369
it would depend. But I think for
now, I'd say, Yeah, I can
626
00:36:38,369 --> 00:36:41,400
totally get behind doing hobbies
where there's no return on
627
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,550
investment. It's just purely for
the like, enjoyment. That's like
628
00:36:44,579 --> 00:36:49,260
Enough. Enough of like a return
on investment. Yeah. Okay, cool.
629
00:36:49,619 --> 00:36:54,000
Anything else you want?
I think that'll end us for
630
00:36:50,610 --> 00:36:57,599
today. sunsetting. The
chilliness is coming a little
631
00:36:54,630 --> 00:36:57,929
bit at the moment as well. So
yeah, you're
632
00:36:58,230 --> 00:37:01,860
gonna get like a significant
chunk. And it was I was like,
633
00:37:01,860 --> 00:37:06,150
no, no, I was really mad. That's
what I needed to spinny shorts
634
00:37:06,150 --> 00:37:11,760
on. Flex you would not actually
watching. So I'm literally
635
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:18,000
wearing red beanie glasses.
Decent. If you got a decent
636
00:37:15,059 --> 00:37:20,369
podcast app, you will see a
picture of what one's wearing
637
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,119
what I'm wearing. Yeah, on your
screen at the moment,
638
00:37:21,119 --> 00:37:23,219
you'll be able to see it and be
like, Oh, Okay, gotcha. This is
639
00:37:23,219 --> 00:37:25,710
different. It's different
between me and current. So what
640
00:37:25,860 --> 00:37:28,590
I want temperatures right now
probably like 17 degrees. But
641
00:37:29,099 --> 00:37:31,349
look it up. I think I'll
probably be wearing what you'd
642
00:37:31,349 --> 00:37:34,289
be wearing. If it was 10 degrees
out. 11 degrees out? That'd
643
00:37:34,289 --> 00:37:39,449
probably be my outfit of choice.
Wait. So I'm wearing what you
644
00:37:39,449 --> 00:37:42,090
would be? Yes. Like, yeah, if it
was like 1011 degrees?
645
00:37:42,449 --> 00:37:45,780
Yeah, pretty much going on since
1970. And 16. So run that
646
00:37:45,780 --> 00:37:49,889
summer, we will have that. Yeah.
So a couple of recommendations
647
00:37:49,889 --> 00:37:53,489
from here from me. We have been
talking a lot about the value
648
00:37:53,489 --> 00:37:56,219
for value, and in particular,
the booster grabbing but this
649
00:37:56,250 --> 00:37:59,550
couple of things we've been
neglecting recently one. So the
650
00:37:59,579 --> 00:38:02,670
value for value is time, talent
and treasure. We've been talking
651
00:38:02,670 --> 00:38:06,869
about the treasure a fair bit,
but some time and some talent
652
00:38:06,869 --> 00:38:09,480
stuff that people could do,
which would be very helpful is
653
00:38:09,599 --> 00:38:12,389
sharing the podcast would be
nice to be able to share this
654
00:38:12,389 --> 00:38:16,110
with more people get more people
joining the live chat on Sunday
655
00:38:16,110 --> 00:38:22,260
evenings, which we do every
obviously. There's Yeah, just
656
00:38:22,260 --> 00:38:26,460
being able to sort of, I'm
focusing a bit more on on
657
00:38:26,489 --> 00:38:29,309
expanding the podcast out to
more people at the moment. So
658
00:38:29,579 --> 00:38:32,760
yeah, recommend other
recommendations. If you enjoy
659
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,360
video, we've got video up on
YouTube, like little shorts
660
00:38:36,420 --> 00:38:41,010
sections as well. So there's
plenty of places for to continue
661
00:38:41,010 --> 00:38:43,980
for us. And however you want to
share any of them sharing a
662
00:38:43,980 --> 00:38:46,860
clip, telling your friends all
of those sorts of things share
663
00:38:47,670 --> 00:38:51,329
that value portion would be very
much appreciated. And yeah, we
664
00:38:51,329 --> 00:38:54,000
hope you've enjoyed the value
got from this podcast learning
665
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,610
about buddy chimps and crazy
people.
666
00:38:58,500 --> 00:39:01,170
Go check out go go go watch it.
I think I'd recommend people to
667
00:39:01,170 --> 00:39:04,260
watch it. Kind of like fast
forward past the initial stages
668
00:39:04,260 --> 00:39:07,139
like you'll see it I just see
like how she lived just out in
669
00:39:07,139 --> 00:39:09,869
like the wilderness basically
for six years. So it just seems
670
00:39:10,079 --> 00:39:14,309
like just so beyond reason to
me, but to see another human
671
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,909
like an actual human do that.
Like wow, okay. This seems odd
672
00:39:17,909 --> 00:39:20,579
to me. But obviously, there's a
level of dedication that I just
673
00:39:20,579 --> 00:39:22,230
will never have in that regard.
Yeah, for
674
00:39:22,230 --> 00:39:25,590
sure. And in terms of Chapter
images, you know, a lot of times
675
00:39:25,590 --> 00:39:30,090
we will forget names of
particular things. When I'm re
676
00:39:30,090 --> 00:39:33,090
editing that in the post
production, time to maximum,
677
00:39:33,119 --> 00:39:35,460
make it a little bit higher
quality, sometimes add a note,
678
00:39:35,489 --> 00:39:39,000
I'll definitely have her name
appearing somewhere there and
679
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,630
probably the Lucy documentary so
you can see it. So if you've got
680
00:39:42,630 --> 00:39:46,050
a decent podcasting app, which
supports chapters, so some of
681
00:39:46,050 --> 00:39:50,400
these would be things like
podres, like curio caster like
682
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:55,380
fountain actually quite a lot of
them do podcast addict as well.
683
00:39:55,380 --> 00:39:59,789
I need to actually go through
all of them has breez. All of
684
00:39:59,789 --> 00:40:02,699
these Also once support those so
yeah definitely worth checking
685
00:40:02,699 --> 00:40:05,699
that out and
if you're watching the video
686
00:40:03,329 --> 00:40:09,030
that obviously appearing on your
screen as well so correct and
687
00:40:05,699 --> 00:40:11,670
even better from always saying
because there's quickly had a
688
00:40:09,030 --> 00:40:15,269
little look just be like okay,
exactly what's the name? And
689
00:40:11,670 --> 00:40:17,699
Jane was the name of the wife
who originally raised it. I
690
00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:24,239
don't think his name is Jane.
Something something's like
691
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:26,550
getting to me right now being
like, I think maybe they're both
692
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:30,869
cool James I'm like dude, I
remember being like, Jane but oh
693
00:40:26,550 --> 00:40:33,300
man. Well after that we'll have
to enter it's called Lucy the
694
00:40:30,869 --> 00:40:38,429
human chip, so it's gonna get
good Lucy the human. The story
695
00:40:33,300 --> 00:40:40,980
was right. Old names and years
probably incorrect. Yeah. Wasn't
696
00:40:38,429 --> 00:40:47,760
remembering everything apart from
everything. Wherever the home
697
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:50,940
was live, but the story about
maybe not a lie. Just misguided
698
00:40:48,150 --> 00:40:54,659
wasn't necessarily her name
wasn't Lucy. It was actually
699
00:40:50,940 --> 00:40:56,849
like now. More or less. We're
gonna leave it there. Thank you
700
00:40:54,659 --> 00:40:57,960
very much. Hope you well,
wherever you are in the world.
701
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,920
Juan out Kyrin out.
