00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,440
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Sheep Get Sheared podcast.

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,440
I'm your host, Austin Creed.

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:13,600
My friends, I mentioned the other day about how difficult it can be to be surrounded by

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:20,240
people who may be close and proximity to you, but in every other way imaginable, they couldn't

5
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:21,240
be different.

6
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:23,360
They might as well be an entirely different species.

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:30,960
They might as well be an entirely different alien entity than you.

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,480
And so I thought of a question as I was drinking some matcha earlier.

9
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:37,040
It's my drink of choice.

10
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,600
Coffee's great, but it's not as good as matcha in my opinion.

11
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:48,120
Well, my question of the day, my friends, is this, how do you cope with reality?

12
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,120
A line that jumps out to me when I discuss the concept of the reality is the line from

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:57,760
Thanos Infinity War, where you first encounter the reality stone.

14
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,480
It's used on Gamora.

15
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,120
And he says, is that simply I sense a new daughter?

16
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,320
I knew some more in your heart.

17
00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:06,320
You still cared.

18
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:08,440
And then he emerges from the shadows.

19
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,480
He says, reality is often disappointing.

20
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:18,640
And then he flexes the infinity stone and he says, but now reality can be whatever I

21
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:19,640
want.

22
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:25,000
My friends, I care to wager to you right now that most people, they wish they had that

23
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,000
power.

24
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,080
In fact, they will when they don't have the authority to do so.

25
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:37,280
So many people, every person to an extent has to put some level of filter on reality

26
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:43,360
because reality is so disappointing at best and disastrous at worst.

27
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:44,920
It's unpolite.

28
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,760
It's very politically incorrect and it's very harsh and unforgiving.

29
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:54,680
That's why a lot of us who see reality for what it is, we don't have a lot of friends.

30
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,000
We're not that good time, Charlie.

31
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:03,800
We're not the guys that you naturally assume are, you know, fun and have big friend circles.

32
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,400
We're oftentimes on the fringe of society.

33
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:13,040
We're often alone with the dog or we have associates, but not a lot of friends.

34
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:18,400
And usually we like to drink alcohol or we like to smoke weed or whatever it is.

35
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:25,960
There's something, there's some kind of substance or some kind of way that we cope with the

36
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,040
realities we live with.

37
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,920
And the reason we need to do this a lot of times, and I'm not justifying it.

38
00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:35,360
I'm not trying to enable anybody.

39
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:42,640
What I'm saying is to deal with the willful and blissfully ignorant entities that surround

40
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:48,040
us, whether they be people we know, people we see on the street, people we meet on the

41
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,040
Internet.

42
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:55,400
This is an unavoidable fact for a lot of us who choose to see what is there instead of

43
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,640
focusing on what could be if only X, Y or Z took place.

44
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:05,560
And it's often the worst with people who are in our family, people who are very important

45
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,360
to us in our lives.

46
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:14,200
You know, I've told on the show a couple of times how doing the show, how holding these

47
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,720
beliefs has affected my life.

48
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,480
And I don't tend to make this show about me because it's not about me.

49
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,720
This philosophy of biblical bachelorism, this philosophy of the red pill, it's bigger than

50
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,000
me and will always be bigger than me because this is not just about me.

51
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000
This is about you.

52
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,800
This is about all of us.

53
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,200
There are not many of us.

54
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:40,280
This is a small club who choose to see what is there and deal with the now and what is

55
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:47,440
there and focusing on if only this person was in power, if only these people weren't

56
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:54,480
around, if only these have only this was the law, if only these people thought this way,

57
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,600
if only this was implemented, then the world will be better.

58
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:06,520
And in their minds, that's how it should be, and so therefore that is how it must become.

59
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,520
And that's how it is.

60
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:16,000
Unfortunately, unfortunately, or I would argue, fortunately for us, we have a different mentality.

61
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000
We see the garbage.

62
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,520
We see the sewage.

63
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:25,960
We see the disgusting and horrible realities that surround us, whether it's around finances,

64
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,560
politics, religion, women, you name it.

65
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:40,520
All of it is part and parcel of this philosophy that is the antidote to your suffering.

66
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,800
Like all good medicine, it's not laced with sugar.

67
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,320
There's not like proposed corn syrup, none of that garbage in it.

68
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:56,040
It has just active ingredients that will fix your problems and help solve and fill the

69
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,040
prescription.

70
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:02,520
Now, my friends, the problem is a lot of us, we have a hard time coping and I'll out

71
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,960
myself right now and I'll tell you, it's not easy.

72
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,040
This show helps a lot.

73
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,840
You know why I do the show every day, sometimes more than once?

74
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:16,920
The days I don't do this show, whether it's camera, no camera.

75
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:23,400
A lot of times when I don't do it, I feel almost like mentally constipated.

76
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,600
I cannot not do the show because I love doing this.

77
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:33,800
It's as if I'm sitting down with you and we're having a conversation because I know it might

78
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,280
sound like I'm looking at a schizoid or schizophrenic or what I'm not.

79
00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:44,720
But when I look at the world, I can almost hear the responses of people who would agree

80
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:50,080
and they'll see things the way I see them, which is far and few between because most

81
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,880
people they want to fit in.

82
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:57,320
They want to be the member of the herd instead of being a wolf because that's dangerous.

83
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,120
So then it's more safe to be a member of the herd.

84
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,320
Then it is to go out there in the wilderness, make themselves irreplaceable, make themselves

85
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:12,960
established and to permanently establish themselves as a person who is a menace to society, not

86
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:18,560
because he cultivates many of them, but because he knows what has true meaning.

87
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,600
He knows when to mobilize and when to move away.

88
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:28,080
He understands what is at stake, who is behind it.

89
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,600
But like many wise men is unappreciated in his time.

90
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:33,800
I think it was Van Gogh.

91
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,760
I know it's pronounced Van Gogh, but he was known to most as Van Gogh.

92
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,800
When Van Gogh was painting in his time, he was not appreciated for the mastermind he

93
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:43,800
is today.

94
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,480
When he was painting back in the day, he actually was put into a mental hospital, I believe

95
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:54,920
in France, where a psychiatrist came up to him and held up one of his paintings to his

96
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,880
face and he said, how many of these have you sold?

97
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,800
How many of your paintings have you sold?

98
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,680
He said, none.

99
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:09,720
Psychiatrists looked at him and he said, Mr Van Gogh, maybe you should stop painting.

100
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,440
Because clearly you're not good at it.

101
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,240
If you were, people would buy your work.

102
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:20,400
Van Gogh, he paused, he looked the doctor in the eye and he said, maybe I'm painting

103
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,440
for people who have not been born yet.

104
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,400
And a lot of us, we have that philosophy right now.

105
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:32,360
We are trying to see reality, not so we can explain it to the average normie, the average

106
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,760
schmuck walking around with a baseball cap backwards, who doesn't care about who's in

107
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:37,840
the White House.

108
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,000
They don't care about who runs the banks.

109
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,960
They don't care about who's teaching women this, this putrid garbage that's going to

110
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,360
be fed to the next generation of women.

111
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:53,280
They don't care about who's raising these young men who are statistically going to go

112
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,400
into prison if they don't have a father.

113
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,000
They're not, they're not telling them any of this.

114
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Why?

115
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,400
Because they won't appreciate it.

116
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,920
The Bible, there's a verse that says you should not throw pearls before swine.

117
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:12,280
Well, that is what exactly you are doing by explaining to people or attempting to convert

118
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,840
them to your way of thinking.

119
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,560
You are doing that very thing.

120
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,760
You are throwing pearls before swine.

121
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:24,920
You are trying to give an antidote to the ignorance, but they will not take it.

122
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,880
You know, I was when I was drinking my coffee or my matcha, he's using the one I have some

123
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,400
the best thoughts of the day.

124
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:35,840
And one of the thoughts I had was after watching the opening for the Olympics, which was the

125
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:43,240
most putrid rubbish I've ever seen in my life, disgusting, horrible, direct garbage.

126
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,480
Making front of Jesus like that mean me sick.

127
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,960
And as soon as it happened, I thought to myself, you know what, they wouldn't have the guts

128
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:55,600
to make fun of Mahabhid or Moses as they shouldn't, but they would never do it.

129
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,600
Because immediately all the front groups would come out and say, oh, they just danced, just

130
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:00,840
danced, it's horrible.

131
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,280
Blah, blah, blah, blah, I'm suey, I'm suey.

132
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,920
And so they didn't do that.

133
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,760
My friends, these are guys called soft targets.

134
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,280
A lot of the normies, they pick on soft targets.

135
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,040
They pick on guys like us who see reality.

136
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,240
They call us in cells.

137
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,440
They cast a gaze to give us a label.

138
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,360
The very things they say they hate.

139
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,320
Don't give us a label and write us off.

140
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:31,680
Whether it's the LGBTQ people or the normie oxygen thief with the baseball cap backwards

141
00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:35,640
who cares more on who's on first and who's on their daughter in the backseat of their

142
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,600
car or who's in the White House or who's taking care of their money.

143
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,280
They don't care about those things.

144
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,280
Why?

145
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,920
Because they haven't been told to care.

146
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,920
Most people have to be told to do things.

147
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:51,360
They never left third grade where the teacher told them to pack their lunch.

148
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,760
Teacher told them to pack their backpack.

149
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,560
Teacher told them to go to recess to sit still in class.

150
00:09:56,560 --> 00:09:59,360
A lot of people, they still need to be told what the hell to do.

151
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,280
They don't know how to think freely.

152
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,080
They don't know how to think for themselves.

153
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,760
They don't know how to come up with anything that's anywhere near original.

154
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,840
Nothing.

155
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,040
They would rather bask in their own ignorance.

156
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:18,960
I think it was HP Lovecraft who actually said he was a horror writer from the 20th century.

157
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,640
I actually like a lot of his work by the way.

158
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:25,080
It's very misunderstood, very interesting, but I'm going, I digress.

159
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:30,880
His quote was he actually believed ignorance to be one of the best things for a human to

160
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:31,880
understand.

161
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:32,880
Why?

162
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:40,160
Because it kept them in the dark to the horrible realities that were beyond his comprehension.

163
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,680
And I think he had a point.

164
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:43,840
Do I think I do?

165
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:49,400
I think there are really crazy large, larger than our universe entities out there.

166
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,640
I mean, I'm inclined to say no.

167
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,240
But at the end of the day, it's thought provoked.

168
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,760
That's the whole point.

169
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,800
It's easy to be ignorant and think about nothing but who's on first base?

170
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,680
What are you going to eat tonight?

171
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:08,800
What your favorite celebrity is doing or what TV show you want to watch?

172
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:09,800
That's easy.

173
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,200
Anybody can do that.

174
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,760
Not everybody can think about how can I improve?

175
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,320
What are some pre-held notions that I have not questioned?

176
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,680
What are some things that others taught me or even that I've picked up over the years

177
00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:26,360
and I've never questioned?

178
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,360
I've never asked myself why.

179
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,440
I've never dealt deeper.

180
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:37,320
You know, I tend to avoid a lot of tough conversations with people, not because I don't want them

181
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:42,400
to understand the truth, but because it's exhausting.

182
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:43,400
I'll be honest with you.

183
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,600
Sometimes I take the slothful route and I don't have those tough conversations, but

184
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,400
it's exhausting.

185
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,000
It's like going to get dental work.

186
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,400
You just want to be over with already.

187
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,160
You can't stand it.

188
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,320
You just want to use like, oh my God, give me the painkiller and I can't take it anymore.

189
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:04,320
It's the same thing that he said with religious people, overly passionate political people

190
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,920
who are not even intelligent.

191
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,160
They're just dumb and.

192
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,640
I'm telling you, it's all about coping.

193
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:17,760
If you can't worry about a cope with these things, then it's all too easy to fold, all

194
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,560
too easy to get falling line.

195
00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:24,560
Because that's what you're going to subconsciously do.

196
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:28,440
And so we need to compare notes.

197
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,840
I think we need to have a conversation.

198
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,440
What do you do to cope with the normies in your life?

199
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,800
What do you do to cope with the sewage and the propaganda that you see on the news on

200
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:43,400
social media, yet you're here from your so-called friends and family?

201
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,000
How do you cope with this stuff?

202
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,560
How do you deal with it?

203
00:12:47,560 --> 00:12:49,960
Because you got to decompress somehow.

204
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,640
You can't just bottle it up forever.

205
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,600
You got to find a release somehow.

206
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:54,600
What do you do?

207
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,120
Do you go to the to the jerk shack?

208
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,800
Do you go to the pub?

209
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,600
Do you go to the gym?

210
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,040
What do you do?

211
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,360
You find a shrink and talk about your problems.

212
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,360
What do you do?

213
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,120
Because at the end of the day, we have to compare notes on this.

214
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:14,120
There has to be a healthy way for us to get through this.

215
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,360
It's not easy.

216
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,520
Is anything worth doing is hard.

217
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:23,440
And if you're doing, if you don't have haters, you don't have people, they saying you, you

218
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,280
don't have people telling you you're wrong.

219
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,280
You haven't done shit.

220
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:33,000
Because all you've done is just take the classic pill of whatever your your quack shrink puts

221
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,480
you on or whatever people tell you.

222
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,080
Then you're then you're just like another schmuck.

223
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,080
That's all.

224
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:44,640
The whole thing is so dumb to me that you would not question these notions that are

225
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,400
put in your head.

226
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,720
I mean, I lived that way and I was miserable.

227
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,760
Now I question everything and arguably I'm still miserable.

228
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,640
But at least now I see things the way they're supposed to be seen.

229
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,680
And I'm sure I'll learn more as time goes on because there's always more to learn.

230
00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:07,240
You know, one of the schools of communism was a guy named Leon Trotsky and his philosophy

231
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,720
of communism was the revolution was never complete.

232
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,880
The war was never over.

233
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:17,640
And well, I don't consider myself a communist because I actually love capitalism and the

234
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:23,120
track record of communism is a mountain of skulls and not a mountain of cash for anybody

235
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,720
outside the dictator who's sitting on top of the skulls.

236
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,200
Like I don't know the guy along like the nearest would sit on the iron throne and game with

237
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,200
rounds.

238
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:37,640
I'm inclined to believe that we need to have the same mentality in the red pill that the

239
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:38,960
quest is never done.

240
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,560
Our quest for truth is never done.

241
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,720
The definition of philosophy is the pursuit of truth.

242
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,000
And a lot of us, we want to just find the truth that's convenient or we want to have

243
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,200
a small dose of the truth and just enough to say we've seen it.

244
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,840
And I don't blame you if you go through periods of that.

245
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,120
We I think we all do that.

246
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:03,120
But we have to learn how to cope so that we can then take that next dose of truth and

247
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,800
we will we won't let ourselves fall by the wayside.

248
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:11,800
We won't let it destroy us in the same way that we go to the gym to break down our muscle

249
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,600
tissue to break to build it back better.

250
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,800
Instead of getting ourself injured and destroying it completely, we need to have the same way

251
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,360
with our brain.

252
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,960
We need to destroy it a little bit to build it back better with the truth instead of saying

253
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,280
back and letting him break us every time.

254
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,960
We have to find a way to cope.

255
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:34,160
We have to find out a way so that we can explain it to people who ask not so we can convert

256
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:41,680
them but so that we can question our own convictions and if needed, revisit them so that then we

257
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,600
can learn something new or validate.

258
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,960
We already know to be true all over again.

259
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,120
My friends again, the question of the day was how do you cope with reality?

260
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,880
And I think it's important for you to share how you cope with reality, to share how you've

261
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,960
dealt with it, whether you're 45, 50, 15 or 25.

262
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:02,560
I think it's important for us all.

263
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:10,880
You compare notes to figure out how we deal with this unfortunate and oftentimes resenting

264
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,040
reality we all deal with.

265
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:20,160
Because the more we see a reality, the less we're inclined to be anything but cynical,

266
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:25,160
the less we are to talk about the things we see because we know that the people around

267
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,880
us are only going to castigate or misunderstand us.

268
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:33,840
I'm making my goal to always hear out people even if I think they're completely cuckoo

269
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:34,840
for cocoa puffs.

270
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:35,840
I still listen.

271
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:36,840
Why?

272
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:43,840
Because maybe amongst the sewage, there's a small little, imagine being a miner from

273
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:49,840
the like the 18, like the 19th century gold rush days.

274
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,840
Imagine you're panning for gold in the river and you get rock, rock, rock, sand, sand,

275
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:58,840
sand, and then you get one little nugget of gold amongst that entire day's worth of going

276
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:03,920
through the stream with your little bucket, with your little filter there.

277
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,120
Do you need to have the same mentality when it comes to people?

278
00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:12,000
You might go through all this disgusting, worthless trash you got to throw away, but

279
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:17,440
then you might find one little ingot of gold that had a little bit all been worth it.

280
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,520
My friends, I encourage you to not give up in your pursuit of truth.

281
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:29,360
I convince you and implore you to never give up to always push forward and always keep yourself

282
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:30,860
accountable.

283
00:17:30,860 --> 00:17:35,160
Always test what you believe to be true.

284
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:40,520
My friends, to carry yourselves, I plan to put out another episode, but more of a video

285
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:41,520
episode.

286
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:47,040
I know I haven't been doing as many of those as I need as I probably should be doing, but

287
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,040
I'm not going to make excuses.

288
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,040
It's just been the way it is.

289
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,080
But I'm planning on fixing that.

290
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,240
My friends, to carry yourselves, I'm out of here again.

291
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:56,240
Please answer the question.

292
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,360
I'm not just asking it for a fact.

293
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:01,480
I really want to know how you cope with reality and what you do every day to deal with it.

294
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,000
So then I'm out of here.

295
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:31,080
Peace.
