WEBVTT 00:00:00.620 --> 00:00:07.700 the big idea that I have articulated and figured 00:00:07.700 --> 00:00:12.980 out how to put words to over the past month is 00:00:12.980 --> 00:00:16.679 something that I call the monopoly the monopoly 00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:21.960 and It's something that I still haven't fully 00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.719 Put words to yet. I still don't have a comprehensive 00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:32.420 view on it, but it is At least there at least 00:00:32.420 --> 00:00:35.700 I have words put to it instead of nothing like 00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:39.520 I did before and this is some this is a concept 00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:43.619 that I've been trying to or maybe not necessarily 00:00:43.619 --> 00:00:47.380 trying to but I've been experiencing the effects 00:00:47.380 --> 00:00:50.500 of for my entire life and I've always known something 00:00:50.500 --> 00:00:56.619 was wrong with it and Before I get into the actual 00:00:56.619 --> 00:01:01.179 explanation of the monopoly It all started with 00:01:01.179 --> 00:01:06.000 me trying to ask a question of why do I relapse 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:14.060 and I'm talking about Most specifically about 00:01:14.060 --> 00:01:19.579 this State of mind that's super desirable to 00:01:19.579 --> 00:01:23.079 have and It's one that I was first exposed to 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:27.140 through a book called reality trans surfing but 00:01:27.140 --> 00:01:30.950 it's also in like Probably every single religion 00:01:30.950 --> 00:01:36.810 it's in like all probably every single Spiritual 00:01:36.810 --> 00:01:40.609 practice it's it's a very universal concept and 00:01:40.609 --> 00:01:45.269 it's the ability to Maintain composure in an 00:01:45.269 --> 00:01:51.849 effortless flow state while being Mentally silent 00:01:51.849 --> 00:01:56.510 and you experience a feeling of fulfillment and 00:01:56.510 --> 00:02:00.099 satisfaction with life Now there still might 00:02:00.099 --> 00:02:09.340 be hard times, but when you're in this state 00:02:09.340 --> 00:02:15.120 of mind, everything turns out easier and everything 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.800 is better than it is when it's not. Like when 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:20.340 you're not in this state of mind, everything 00:02:20.340 --> 00:02:24.080 is just unnecessarily more difficult. And usually, 00:02:24.860 --> 00:02:27.819 or at least what I've heard and experienced is 00:02:27.819 --> 00:02:32.530 that Is the individuals fault the individual 00:02:32.530 --> 00:02:35.530 chooses not to experience that state of mind? 00:02:37.710 --> 00:02:42.849 but I Know the effects of I know the benefits 00:02:42.849 --> 00:02:46.129 of experiencing that state of mind and I've experienced 00:02:46.129 --> 00:02:50.949 month -long periods of time in my life multiple 00:02:50.949 --> 00:02:56.189 times where I would be in this state and those 00:02:56.189 --> 00:03:00.280 are very enjoyable periods of time but then I 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:04.219 would always always always relapse and I've had 00:03:04.219 --> 00:03:07.340 various theories over the time and I'm probably 00:03:07.340 --> 00:03:11.060 gonna come up with more theories but for example 00:03:11.060 --> 00:03:14.259 a theory that I had was that it's an addiction 00:03:14.259 --> 00:03:22.180 like we are addicted to the not the good mindset 00:03:22.180 --> 00:03:24.620 we're addicted to importance and we're addicted 00:03:24.620 --> 00:03:28.430 to the factors that cause you not to experience 00:03:28.430 --> 00:03:32.150 the good, the desirable, desirable mindset. But 00:03:32.150 --> 00:03:35.870 I'd actually go a step further and I'm going 00:03:35.870 --> 00:03:38.530 to go a step further in this episode of explain 00:03:38.530 --> 00:03:42.030 why I think it's a lot more systematic than just 00:03:42.030 --> 00:03:46.210 a mere addiction, a psychological addiction. 00:03:46.449 --> 00:03:51.330 I think it's a more deeply rooted, systematic, 00:03:55.259 --> 00:04:00.000 maybe yeah, oppression, but a systematic deeply 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:05.479 rooted systematic forces that are at play that 00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:14.060 are trying or that are more there are deeply 00:04:14.060 --> 00:04:17.720 rooted systematic forces at play in our lives 00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:25.550 that lead to or make it easier to experience 00:04:25.550 --> 00:04:28.670 not that state. Make it easier to experience 00:04:28.670 --> 00:04:31.250 the negative state. Let's just call it the negative 00:04:31.250 --> 00:04:33.910 state and the positive state to make things easy 00:04:33.910 --> 00:04:37.029 to converse with. So the positive state is what 00:04:37.029 --> 00:04:41.550 I described of how you experience effortless 00:04:41.550 --> 00:04:45.879 flow and you're in like mental silence. you're 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.459 doing a good job controlling your internal dialogue 00:04:48.459 --> 00:04:53.019 and the result of all of that is that you are 00:04:53.019 --> 00:04:55.680 very a lot more fulfilled and satisfied with 00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.160 life and things are more effortless and you don't 00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:02.519 you're not as stressed you're not as You don't 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.779 experience suffering as much or at all. I don't 00:05:05.779 --> 00:05:11.500 know but and it's certainly a spectrum too. It's 00:05:11.500 --> 00:05:16.139 not like an on and off switch either but That's 00:05:16.139 --> 00:05:19.319 called the positive state For let's just for 00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:20.939 convenience sake and then the negative state 00:05:20.939 --> 00:05:23.160 is when you're not in that state So when you're 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:27.000 in like the typical like stressed unfulfilled 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:31.620 uninspired Suffering state of our day -to -day 00:05:31.620 --> 00:05:34.040 lives, which is normal in our society. That's 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:38.779 like the normal state the negative state So this 00:05:38.779 --> 00:05:42.240 whole thing started with me asking myself, why 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:46.930 do I relapse like why is it? that I continuously 00:05:46.930 --> 00:05:50.250 go back. It's like there's nothing I can do. 00:05:50.550 --> 00:05:55.089 I always, always, always go back to the negative 00:05:55.089 --> 00:05:58.870 state. Even though I know while I'm relapsing 00:05:58.870 --> 00:06:01.790 that the positive state is desirable. Even though 00:06:01.790 --> 00:06:04.149 I know how desirable it is and I consciously, 00:06:04.750 --> 00:06:08.910 I literally, I've had experiences of when I was 00:06:08.910 --> 00:06:11.720 falling into the negative state. After a couple 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:13.959 months of being in the positive state and I remember 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:15.360 there was one time where I was at the kitchen 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:19.279 table and I was like making food and I was like 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:24.459 really uneasy and I I could feel that that turmoil 00:06:24.459 --> 00:06:27.740 in my internal dialogue and I could actually 00:06:27.740 --> 00:06:31.600 I was observing it too and I was like Why am 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.899 I unhappy like I am being silent right now. Why 00:06:34.899 --> 00:06:39.139 am I stressed? Like why is this happening? I 00:06:39.139 --> 00:06:42.360 want to be in the positive state. But it just 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:45.360 seems like there's nothing I can do. It's like 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.860 a cycle. It's like I can only handle a couple 00:06:47.860 --> 00:06:51.180 months at most of the positive state before I 00:06:51.180 --> 00:06:54.339 regress back to the negative state as if it takes 00:06:54.339 --> 00:06:58.040 effort to maintain the positive state. And so 00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:00.519 after I was asking myself that question, I created, 00:07:01.139 --> 00:07:04.819 I just articulated it in the form of an analogy. 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:10.480 the analogy took on the form of a bathtub. So 00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:14.680 imagine you're sitting in a bathtub and the tap 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:19.500 is pouring pure fresh water into the bathtub 00:07:19.500 --> 00:07:26.040 but there are holes on the side of the tub and 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:32.300 poison leaks through those holes. So eventually 00:07:32.300 --> 00:07:35.879 you'll start to realize that Your bath water 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:38.420 has been contaminated and that you're so you're 00:07:38.420 --> 00:07:40.879 sitting in filth and that you're basically suffering 00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:44.199 Essentially that you are suffering and you that's 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.860 that represents the negative state to connect 00:07:46.860 --> 00:07:49.509 it to the positive and the negative state When 00:07:49.509 --> 00:07:52.209 there's poison in the bathtub that is a negative 00:07:52.209 --> 00:07:55.610 state and this also shows the spectrum It's not 00:07:55.610 --> 00:07:58.730 just a binary. It's you can have a little bit 00:07:58.730 --> 00:08:01.069 of poison in the water You can have absolutely 00:08:01.069 --> 00:08:04.269 no poison in the water or you can be in pure 00:08:04.269 --> 00:08:10.490 poison. So it's a spectrum now there are there 00:08:10.490 --> 00:08:15.110 are clogs and The only tools that I'm available 00:08:15.110 --> 00:08:20.129 are the only tools that I know of are in order 00:08:20.129 --> 00:08:23.810 to stop the poison is to literally just hold 00:08:23.810 --> 00:08:31.149 my hand onto the hole and hold my hand there 00:08:31.149 --> 00:08:33.610 and then wait for the poison to drain out of 00:08:33.610 --> 00:08:37.129 the water and then the fresh water cycle back 00:08:37.129 --> 00:08:39.769 in and then I get back to fresh water. So that's 00:08:39.769 --> 00:08:45.200 like me entering the positive state. But then 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:48.240 eventually my hand will get tired because like 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.139 if you've ever tried to hold your hand up For 00:08:51.139 --> 00:08:54.860 a long time or if you try to use any muscle for 00:08:54.860 --> 00:08:57.259 a long time it gets tired Even if it's something 00:08:57.259 --> 00:09:02.779 very simple like holding your hand up So eventually 00:09:02.779 --> 00:09:05.059 your hand will get tired or you'll simply just 00:09:05.059 --> 00:09:07.240 forget that your hand is there and you'll let 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.480 go now you won't immediately notice the negative 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:14.740 effects because they're small holes and the poison 00:09:14.740 --> 00:09:17.179 is just trickling through. So it's not going 00:09:17.179 --> 00:09:19.679 to immediately like all become poisoned immediately. 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:25.059 So you don't get the benefits of instant feedback, 00:09:25.340 --> 00:09:30.879 which is one of the one important piece of mastery, 00:09:31.139 --> 00:09:36.759 mastering of skill, instant feedback, or at least 00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:40.769 very quick feedback. And so eventually after 00:09:40.769 --> 00:09:44.289 your hand gets tired the poison will enter back 00:09:44.289 --> 00:09:47.649 in and then you will essentially relapse back 00:09:47.649 --> 00:09:52.389 into the non the negative state and so that analogy 00:09:52.389 --> 00:09:57.330 kind of illustrates Why you do relapse now? Obviously, 00:09:57.330 --> 00:10:01.230 this is an analogy that I made up So it's not 00:10:01.230 --> 00:10:05.590 it's not the truth. It could point to the truth 00:10:05.590 --> 00:10:10.690 but I don't know that for sure. So keep that 00:10:10.690 --> 00:10:13.610 in mind. But basically I'm just using this analogy 00:10:13.610 --> 00:10:20.070 to help me understand things. And so that's where 00:10:20.070 --> 00:10:21.889 we're at. We're sitting in a bathtub that has 00:10:21.889 --> 00:10:26.230 holes. And the only tools that I know of to stop 00:10:26.230 --> 00:10:30.250 the hole, the poison, is to literally just hold 00:10:30.250 --> 00:10:35.889 my hand there. So what's the solution? Because 00:10:35.889 --> 00:10:39.590 this analogy is only useful if I use it to solve 00:10:39.590 --> 00:10:44.289 the problem in real life of Me relapsing. Why 00:10:44.289 --> 00:10:50.350 do I always relapse? The solution would be to 00:10:50.350 --> 00:10:52.870 literally just get out of a bathtub and go live 00:10:52.870 --> 00:10:57.070 your dang life Right, like you literally don't 00:10:57.070 --> 00:11:00.009 have to live your life in a bathtub Like you 00:11:00.009 --> 00:11:01.970 can literally just walk out of the bathtub and 00:11:01.970 --> 00:11:06.049 go outside So that's the solution Now how does 00:11:06.049 --> 00:11:12.490 that translate into real life? And I don't quite 00:11:12.490 --> 00:11:19.250 know, but I've thought a lot about it. And it's 00:11:19.250 --> 00:11:24.610 made me come up with this huge theory that I've 00:11:24.610 --> 00:11:27.169 been trying to come up with my entire life, but 00:11:27.169 --> 00:11:30.750 I've just now started to put into a framework. 00:11:31.389 --> 00:11:38.279 And it's the monopoly. And what this theory is, 00:11:38.340 --> 00:11:42.960 is that our entire society, our culture, our 00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:48.740 society, which is an encompassing term to name 00:11:48.740 --> 00:11:54.519 any society that is based on economic growth 00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:58.779 in the form of money. And I'm still getting clear 00:11:58.779 --> 00:12:00.820 about this definition, but for now this will 00:12:00.820 --> 00:12:10.100 work. You can be in Literally any city in the 00:12:10.100 --> 00:12:15.299 world With like a an economy that's based on 00:12:15.299 --> 00:12:18.059 growth in the form of money and this is part 00:12:18.059 --> 00:12:22.080 of Our society, so it's not just America. It's 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:26.419 not just New York City. It's America and New 00:12:26.419 --> 00:12:33.309 York City and The UK and like It's literally 00:12:33.309 --> 00:12:37.610 any city or any area. It does not matter what 00:12:37.610 --> 00:12:40.669 country. OK? So this is just my definition, just 00:12:40.669 --> 00:12:45.230 for clarity's sake. This is not like a dogmatic 00:12:45.230 --> 00:12:49.509 thing, because definitions are useful to understand 00:12:49.509 --> 00:12:54.830 each other. The essence of language is not truth. 00:12:55.370 --> 00:12:57.850 It's more of just understanding each other's 00:12:57.850 --> 00:13:01.409 ideas. So this is just the definition I'm using. 00:13:01.629 --> 00:13:04.789 Are when I say our society or our culture I'm 00:13:04.789 --> 00:13:08.370 pointing to any society in the world or in history 00:13:08.370 --> 00:13:12.950 that is based on economic growth in the form 00:13:12.950 --> 00:13:17.210 of money and that definition I'm not quite sure 00:13:17.210 --> 00:13:19.210 if that's the best definition of what I'm trying 00:13:19.210 --> 00:13:22.009 to point at but It's the best one that I can 00:13:22.009 --> 00:13:24.210 think of right now And the reason why I say that 00:13:24.210 --> 00:13:27.610 is because I mean for example money doesn't just 00:13:27.610 --> 00:13:32.070 appear out of thin air you have to produce Or 00:13:32.070 --> 00:13:38.049 you have to create value. And value doesn't just 00:13:38.049 --> 00:13:41.309 appear out of thin air, because matter can't. 00:13:41.649 --> 00:13:47.549 Like matter isn't destroyed or created. That's 00:13:47.549 --> 00:13:51.169 one of our rules in our society, or in our laws 00:13:51.169 --> 00:13:54.990 of nature. So you can't just like summon money 00:13:54.990 --> 00:13:57.389 out of thin air. You have to create value. And 00:13:57.389 --> 00:14:00.429 one perfect example is, well, there's a huge 00:14:00.429 --> 00:14:04.029 forest out in the wilderness. And if you want 00:14:04.029 --> 00:14:06.389 to create value in our economy, well, then you 00:14:06.389 --> 00:14:09.490 can just cut down all those trees, process the 00:14:09.490 --> 00:14:12.330 wood and create lumber and then sell that lumber. 00:14:12.389 --> 00:14:16.610 And now you've added economic growth to our economy. 00:14:16.990 --> 00:14:19.250 You've added money to the economy. You've generated 00:14:19.250 --> 00:14:22.309 value. when in reality you haven't actually generated 00:14:22.309 --> 00:14:25.169 anything, you just extracted value out of that 00:14:25.169 --> 00:14:28.629 forest and inserted it into our economy. So that's 00:14:28.629 --> 00:14:31.710 basically what I'm, that's like the definition 00:14:31.710 --> 00:14:34.250 I'm using for our entire society, our culture. 00:14:34.870 --> 00:14:39.610 Any culture in the world or history that operates 00:14:39.610 --> 00:14:45.450 on similar principles. Now, here's where the 00:14:45.450 --> 00:14:49.740 monopoly gets. Our society, Which is basically 00:14:49.740 --> 00:14:52.940 pervasive like our society using that definition 00:14:52.940 --> 00:14:56.039 is literally anywhere you go on the globe Like 00:14:56.039 --> 00:15:00.159 maybe not not literally anywhere, but like 90 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:04.940 to 90 percent 99 percent of the globe has been 00:15:04.940 --> 00:15:10.980 turned into our economy like the eight billion 00:15:10.980 --> 00:15:15.940 people on this planet are mostly because of the 00:15:15.940 --> 00:15:19.450 are mostly made possible due to our our culture, 00:15:19.830 --> 00:15:25.809 our society. And the certain cultures that are 00:15:25.809 --> 00:15:30.769 not a part of our society or not part of this 00:15:30.769 --> 00:15:35.649 definition of our society is like certain hunter 00:15:35.649 --> 00:15:39.330 -gatherer tribes or certain indigenous populations 00:15:39.330 --> 00:15:46.470 and their original worldviews. For example, like 00:15:46.470 --> 00:15:51.440 if you go out in nature, and hunt like let's 00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:56.279 say you watch a wolf like a wolf go hunting for 00:15:56.279 --> 00:16:01.720 food because he's hungry and he sneaks up on 00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:06.019 a large pack of sheep it only kills one sheep 00:16:06.019 --> 00:16:09.940 because that's all he needs at the time but our 00:16:09.940 --> 00:16:13.600 society if our society was that wolf we would 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:17.960 kill the entire pack Massacre the entire pack 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:20.779 and bring it home so we can increase our population 00:16:20.779 --> 00:16:25.559 or feed our own people and so that's But if you 00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:29.779 look at many indigenous populations or like hunter 00:16:29.779 --> 00:16:34.179 -gatherer populations which I Don't even know 00:16:34.179 --> 00:16:36.600 they're probably the same thing even though a 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:39.700 lot of indigenous populations were agricultural 00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:44.490 societies, but different to our society Because 00:16:44.490 --> 00:16:47.889 they don't kill the entire pack. They only kill 00:16:47.889 --> 00:16:49.950 what they need and they leave the rest alone 00:16:49.950 --> 00:16:54.950 but we I mean if you just look at the world that 00:16:54.950 --> 00:17:00.889 we live in we have Paved over like 90 % of our 00:17:00.889 --> 00:17:05.690 own home because we can't leave the rest alone 00:17:05.690 --> 00:17:12.180 and the that example of the where the wolf Hunting 00:17:12.180 --> 00:17:16.700 a sheep is both a literal but also a metaphorical 00:17:16.700 --> 00:17:20.480 comparison So yes, like we do kill more animals 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:24.220 than we need to kill But it's also a metaphorical 00:17:24.220 --> 00:17:26.700 in the sense that you can apply that analogously 00:17:26.700 --> 00:17:31.519 to any other example like we don't need to pave 00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:36.160 over and produce like turn the world into concrete, 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:38.440 but that's what we're doing, because we kill 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:43.519 the entire pack of sheep. We can't stand all 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:46.240 the species that lived before that concrete, 00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:48.900 like species of plants and insects and animals. 00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:53.099 But that's just an example. So don't get too 00:17:53.099 --> 00:17:55.240 caught up on that, because if you get caught 00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:57.220 up on that little example, you're going to miss 00:17:57.220 --> 00:17:59.799 the bigger picture. The bigger picture is that 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:04.400 our society, remember that definition, has a 00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:08.400 monopoly. And now I'm using monopoly in a more 00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:11.619 exhaustive sense of what it's normally used. 00:18:12.019 --> 00:18:16.480 So a monopoly in our economy is like one company 00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:23.079 is able to control the entire market share and 00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:25.339 they're like the only company that provides that 00:18:25.339 --> 00:18:28.220 specific product or service. So let's say like 00:18:28.220 --> 00:18:32.369 only one company is selling all the oil. They 00:18:32.369 --> 00:18:34.470 have stamped out all of their competitors so 00:18:34.470 --> 00:18:38.109 now this one company can stock up the prices 00:18:38.109 --> 00:18:41.710 on oil And so now we have to pay a lot more and 00:18:41.710 --> 00:18:44.930 now we're suffering as a result That's a monopoly, 00:18:45.009 --> 00:18:48.789 but I'm not using it in a in that in that very 00:18:48.789 --> 00:18:52.309 insignificant sense because yeah monopolies are 00:18:52.309 --> 00:18:56.170 bad But the fact that they're bad, and I'm saying 00:18:56.170 --> 00:18:58.170 that it's insignificant in the sense that I'm 00:18:58.170 --> 00:19:03.690 using it points to something Important here. 00:19:04.190 --> 00:19:07.789 So a Monopoly if there's an oil monopoly, okay, 00:19:07.910 --> 00:19:10.109 sure We have to pay more money on oil, but we 00:19:10.109 --> 00:19:13.150 still have every other aspect of our life. That's 00:19:13.150 --> 00:19:17.930 fine What I'm proposing is that our society has 00:19:17.930 --> 00:19:26.210 an extensive monopoly over every single Perceived 00:19:26.210 --> 00:19:29.849 and unperceived aspect of our life and what I 00:19:29.849 --> 00:19:35.170 mean by that is because this is gonna this is 00:19:35.170 --> 00:19:38.730 very hard to share because I don't fully understand 00:19:38.730 --> 00:19:42.789 it, but I Just know in my bones so imagine there 00:19:42.789 --> 00:19:45.750 was a world where the Nazis actually won the 00:19:45.750 --> 00:19:49.150 world war and a couple hundred years passes and 00:19:49.150 --> 00:19:54.390 they successfully exterminate every other Race 00:19:54.390 --> 00:19:57.470 on the planet and it's just a planet full of 00:19:57.470 --> 00:20:02.200 German white Christian humans There's no diversity 00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:06.599 whatsoever. If a human being or when a human 00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:11.259 being is born into a society like that, they 00:20:11.259 --> 00:20:16.400 won't consciously know that being a Nazi is wrong 00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:20.180 or that it's bad. And they won't be able to point 00:20:20.180 --> 00:20:24.440 to anything wrong because they have never known 00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:27.460 anything other than that. Because there is no 00:20:27.460 --> 00:20:30.559 other thing other than that. The history has 00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:33.380 been wiped out and there is no other knowledge 00:20:33.380 --> 00:20:37.980 of anything else however They will know in their 00:20:37.980 --> 00:20:40.599 bones that there is something wrong maybe not 00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:44.140 everyone because in a world like that the conditioning 00:20:44.140 --> 00:20:47.599 will be so strong to where People are become 00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:50.559 so highly effective at lying to theirs themselves 00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:53.200 That they actually don't realize that they're 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:56.289 lying to themselves anymore but there will be 00:20:56.289 --> 00:20:58.890 some people who know in their bones and they 00:20:58.890 --> 00:21:02.029 can just feel it and They hold on to that feeling 00:21:02.029 --> 00:21:05.809 and they don't let it go So that's the point 00:21:05.809 --> 00:21:08.750 that I'm articulating and by no means am I comparing 00:21:08.750 --> 00:21:12.170 this world to a Nazi world I'm just sharing that 00:21:12.170 --> 00:21:15.490 point because from our perspective Being a Nazi 00:21:15.490 --> 00:21:21.230 is totally wrong. And so it's easy to see How 00:21:21.230 --> 00:21:27.809 it's easy to see the the The error in the people's 00:21:27.809 --> 00:21:30.289 belief who are raised in that world But it's 00:21:30.289 --> 00:21:33.170 also easy or not. Maybe not easy from a lot of 00:21:33.170 --> 00:21:38.109 people but you can also see how Maybe in a different 00:21:38.109 --> 00:21:40.289 world like that. They wouldn't know anything 00:21:40.289 --> 00:21:44.069 else. So most people would Wouldn't realize that 00:21:44.069 --> 00:21:45.809 being a Nazi is wrong. So that's that's the reason 00:21:45.809 --> 00:21:48.569 why I bring that up so that you can understand 00:21:48.569 --> 00:21:53.299 how Kind of what I'm trying to get at because 00:21:53.299 --> 00:21:58.920 we as a culture our society doesn't Know anything 00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:02.279 else. We don't know what it's like to live as 00:22:02.279 --> 00:22:06.019 a hunter -gatherer because that Way of life is 00:22:06.019 --> 00:22:09.299 basically it's basically extinct. We don't know 00:22:09.299 --> 00:22:14.160 what it's like to be in an original indigenous 00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:17.960 population whether it's in like Africa or North 00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:20.339 America or wherever it is. We don't know what 00:22:20.339 --> 00:22:24.319 it's like to be in that because We've never experienced 00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:27.900 it ourself and for the most part most people 00:22:27.900 --> 00:22:33.880 don't Look into it So that's that's the comparison 00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:36.930 that I'm making to the Nazi world So we don't 00:22:36.930 --> 00:22:39.970 actually know what's wrong but and most people 00:22:39.970 --> 00:22:42.750 will continue to lie to themselves Because they 00:22:42.750 --> 00:22:44.349 don't realize that they're lying to themselves 00:22:44.349 --> 00:22:49.970 because the conditioning is so effective So that's 00:22:49.970 --> 00:22:53.289 why I think this is a monopoly there is an extensive 00:22:53.289 --> 00:22:57.049 monopoly over the way that we live life in every 00:22:57.049 --> 00:23:02.579 single aspect and I'll point to I'll point to 00:23:02.579 --> 00:23:05.740 various examples in a little bit, but first of 00:23:05.740 --> 00:23:09.980 all, I have to bring a preface. The preface is 00:23:09.980 --> 00:23:13.539 that first of all, our society, first and foremost, 00:23:14.099 --> 00:23:17.660 our society does not work. It just doesn't work 00:23:17.660 --> 00:23:22.980 to fulfill the goals of it, or not necessarily 00:23:22.980 --> 00:23:25.480 the goals, but it doesn't work to fulfill the 00:23:25.480 --> 00:23:29.140 needs of a human being. And I'll point to... 00:23:29.180 --> 00:23:33.740 rock hard solid evidence to back that up but 00:23:33.740 --> 00:23:40.160 I'm only saying this because there's a huge tendency 00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:44.519 in people to defend society because that's all 00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:48.359 we know and society is intimately linked to our 00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:51.400 survival because it has a monopoly on our survival 00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:53.700 and I'll get to that in a little bit but first 00:23:53.700 --> 00:23:55.519 we have to say that our society just doesn't 00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:58.220 work. And I'm only saying this to get help you 00:23:58.220 --> 00:24:02.200 open your mind to here without trying without 00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:06.200 you trying to defend irrationally, because any 00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:10.859 defending of this society is irrational. And 00:24:10.859 --> 00:24:15.480 I'll say why there's a stat that I pulled up. 00:24:15.779 --> 00:24:18.460 So I wanted to pull up a variety of different 00:24:18.460 --> 00:24:23.119 essential things of what it means to be a human. 00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:26.099 Maybe even what it means to be alive in general, 00:24:26.819 --> 00:24:28.799 but especially what it means to be a human because 00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:32.299 we tend to only know what it's like to be a human. 00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:37.660 That could possibly be because of the society, 00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:39.119 but I don't know. We're not going to get into 00:24:39.119 --> 00:24:45.420 that right now. So there's a statistic. And I 00:24:45.420 --> 00:24:48.039 wanted to pull up this statistic because there's 00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:54.819 a few essential things to be effective. For a 00:24:54.819 --> 00:24:58.019 system to be effective to the human and one essential 00:24:58.019 --> 00:25:00.579 thing is for the human being to be able to preserve 00:25:00.579 --> 00:25:03.980 their health So there's a common. It's common 00:25:03.980 --> 00:25:07.140 knowledge that children are way healthier than 00:25:07.140 --> 00:25:10.359 adults like yeah nowadays there's fat children, 00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:14.200 but that's mostly because of the the system that 00:25:14.200 --> 00:25:17.720 we live in but but like in a general sense and 00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:20.799 now yeah, there's a Kate like there are like 00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:25.100 occasional times where a child is born with disease 00:25:25.100 --> 00:25:27.140 or Disabilities or whatever. I'm not pointing 00:25:27.140 --> 00:25:30.440 to that. I'm pointing to in a general sense Children 00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:34.539 are healthier Than adults healthier and more 00:25:34.539 --> 00:25:38.599 fit like there's a common a common stereotype 00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:42.960 of like the The child is running around and playing 00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:45.539 with his dad and the dad is like huffing and 00:25:45.539 --> 00:25:49.160 puffing and it can't keep up So that's what I'm 00:25:49.160 --> 00:25:53.319 pointing to children are more are more healthy 00:25:53.319 --> 00:25:58.200 than adults. So a system that works, and a system, 00:25:58.539 --> 00:26:01.740 a society is a system, a system that works should 00:26:01.740 --> 00:26:08.059 be able to preserve basic, at least on the bare 00:26:08.059 --> 00:26:12.700 minimum, basic human needs. And one of them is 00:26:12.700 --> 00:26:16.779 health and fitness. So. Humans should be able 00:26:16.779 --> 00:26:19.799 to have health like that's one of the most fundamental 00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:22.339 things of what it means to be alive Because if 00:26:22.339 --> 00:26:23.920 you don't have your health, then you're dead. 00:26:24.380 --> 00:26:29.299 So But there's a stat that is that says that 00:26:29.299 --> 00:26:33.519 74 % of the population is overweight Overweight 00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:37.819 is not healthy. So society failed to help people 00:26:37.819 --> 00:26:41.119 preserve their basic right to health and fitness 00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:44.039 If you're overweight, then you are not healthy 00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:48.119 and that are not you. Because people get defensive 00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:50.660 when when they hear that, especially overweight 00:26:50.660 --> 00:26:54.960 people, because they interpret it as you as in 00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:59.119 your character. But and oftentimes that is the 00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:01.859 case because the person is unconsciously pointing 00:27:01.859 --> 00:27:06.960 to that. But I'm pointing to your body. Your 00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:10.140 body is unhealthy. Your body is unhealthy if 00:27:10.140 --> 00:27:13.500 you lost your health and fitness, just by definition. 00:27:13.769 --> 00:27:19.309 And that's what 74%, at least 74 % of our population 00:27:19.309 --> 00:27:25.430 experiences. So that's one example of why our 00:27:25.430 --> 00:27:29.230 society doesn't work. It failed to fulfill the 00:27:29.230 --> 00:27:33.970 most basic human need of health. Yet people still 00:27:33.970 --> 00:27:37.099 defend it. because it's tied to survival and 00:27:37.099 --> 00:27:41.500 we'll get to that but the second stat is 77 % 00:27:41.500 --> 00:27:46.519 of the working population is unfulfilled at work 00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:49.519 77 % of people are not fulfilled with their work 00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:52.859 and work is like the majority of your day It's 00:27:52.859 --> 00:27:54.759 like the greater portion of your day It takes 00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:57.039 up most of your energy like most people who go 00:27:57.039 --> 00:27:59.640 to work They don't have enough energy to do anything 00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:01.839 once they get home other than like sit around 00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:05.710 and watch TV So work should be the most important 00:28:05.710 --> 00:28:10.309 aspect of, or the work should be one of the most 00:28:10.309 --> 00:28:14.230 crucial things that a society, a healthy society, 00:28:14.609 --> 00:28:19.650 a society that works should be able to help its 00:28:19.650 --> 00:28:26.609 citizens find a fundamental trait of well -being, 00:28:27.289 --> 00:28:32.940 which is fulfillment in their work. But it obviously 00:28:32.940 --> 00:28:37.079 failed to do that for at least 77 % of the population. 00:28:37.619 --> 00:28:44.000 So those are just two statistics that show how 00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:46.599 society doesn't work. And don't get too caught 00:28:46.599 --> 00:28:49.200 up on those statistics either because if you 00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:51.359 get too caught up in the details, then you're 00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:54.440 gonna miss the big picture. So first of all, 00:28:54.839 --> 00:28:56.500 society doesn't work. So just let your guard 00:28:56.500 --> 00:28:59.200 down for, or not let your guard down, but listen 00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:01.880 with an open mind without irrationally defending 00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:06.299 it because it doesn't work. And I'm, and by work, 00:29:06.579 --> 00:29:09.500 I'm assuming that I'm using the definition of 00:29:09.500 --> 00:29:12.000 work. That means that it will be able to provide 00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:15.240 on the bare minimum, the basic essentials of 00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:19.039 human life or, and which are like at least health. 00:29:19.230 --> 00:29:22.069 and fitness and fulfillment in your work. Those 00:29:22.069 --> 00:29:25.109 are the bare minimum. There are hundreds of thousands 00:29:25.109 --> 00:29:29.289 of other concepts like that. That's the bare 00:29:29.289 --> 00:29:32.349 minimum. But my definition of society should 00:29:32.349 --> 00:29:35.670 be a thriving. It should be able to provide a 00:29:35.670 --> 00:29:37.869 thriving life and not just the bare minimum. 00:29:38.140 --> 00:29:41.339 which kind of says something about our society 00:29:41.339 --> 00:29:44.539 if we're contenting ourself with the bare minimum 00:29:44.539 --> 00:29:47.660 definition, but whatever. All right, so moving 00:29:47.660 --> 00:29:52.460 on. So people defend society, I think, because 00:29:52.460 --> 00:29:56.319 it's an unconscious thing. They irrationally 00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:58.960 defend it because it's connected to the survival 00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:01.319 instinct. They're not actually defending it. 00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:04.500 They're not actually defending survival. Defending 00:30:04.500 --> 00:30:07.740 society they're defending themselves. They're 00:30:07.740 --> 00:30:09.920 surviving. They are literally surviving when 00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:13.759 they try to defend society Because our society 00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:19.240 has a monopoly over our very survival Now let 00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:28.839 me read let me Articulate a little further You 00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:35.769 cannot become you cannot adopt the original lifestyle 00:30:35.769 --> 00:30:42.750 that the human body was evolved to thrive under, 00:30:42.990 --> 00:30:48.549 which is the hunter gatherer lifestyle and maybe 00:30:48.549 --> 00:30:54.329 agricultural lifestyle if it's done right, which 00:30:54.329 --> 00:30:59.190 our society is not done right. But there is no 00:30:59.190 --> 00:31:03.059 possible way for the average person to adopt 00:31:03.059 --> 00:31:11.539 the very role that their body has evolved to 00:31:11.539 --> 00:31:14.960 optimize, or to allow them to survive. There's 00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:17.079 no way to become a hunter -gatherer in our modern 00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:20.299 society. That's just period. Like, that's obvious. 00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:24.119 No one will argue against that. Now, however, 00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:28.140 so that's just one point. That's not even the 00:31:28.140 --> 00:31:31.210 most essential point. because it doesn't really 00:31:31.210 --> 00:31:32.710 matter because no one knows what it's like to 00:31:32.710 --> 00:31:34.769 be hunter -gatherer anyways. So it doesn't really 00:31:34.769 --> 00:31:37.589 have much impact in people's life. But what does 00:31:37.589 --> 00:31:40.369 have impact in people's life is you have to work 00:31:40.369 --> 00:31:45.150 for money. You have to work in a job for money. 00:31:45.809 --> 00:31:49.650 Or else you don't have money to buy food because 00:31:49.650 --> 00:31:53.069 no one's going to feed you. I mean, yeah, the 00:31:53.069 --> 00:31:55.130 government might feed you and give you food stamps, 00:31:55.509 --> 00:31:59.630 but like that's... We're talking about mainstream 00:31:59.630 --> 00:32:03.190 society if every single person if the mainstream 00:32:03.190 --> 00:32:06.730 society was relying on food stamps Then they 00:32:06.730 --> 00:32:09.410 would then our society would collapse within 00:32:09.410 --> 00:32:12.390 like a couple Weeks or months. I don't know how 00:32:12.390 --> 00:32:14.869 long but our society would collapse if if everyone 00:32:14.869 --> 00:32:18.369 was relying on food stamps for their food without 00:32:18.369 --> 00:32:27.609 money without working for So Our society has 00:32:27.609 --> 00:32:29.670 a monopoly on survival because you have to work 00:32:29.670 --> 00:32:32.990 for money and without money you can't buy food. 00:32:37.210 --> 00:32:39.849 And here's where it gets interesting because 00:32:39.849 --> 00:32:43.750 our system is based on the destruction of nature 00:32:43.750 --> 00:32:47.430 or the extraction of resources from nature. Like 00:32:47.430 --> 00:32:50.390 that example I gave you, economic growth does 00:32:50.390 --> 00:32:52.869 not appear out of thin air. It has to be extracted 00:32:52.869 --> 00:32:57.779 from something. I mean, our very own law of the 00:32:57.779 --> 00:33:01.440 universe says that you can't create matter out 00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:04.259 of nothing. It can't be destroyed or created. 00:33:05.259 --> 00:33:08.619 So what we do is we extract it from nature. So 00:33:08.619 --> 00:33:14.339 essentially, our society survives off of the 00:33:14.339 --> 00:33:18.059 destruction of nature because without it, we 00:33:18.059 --> 00:33:21.299 won't be able to sustain the way that we live. 00:33:24.460 --> 00:33:27.059 And it's a whole different topic about talking 00:33:27.059 --> 00:33:31.339 about whether it's sustainable to extract resources 00:33:31.339 --> 00:33:34.640 from nature. But let's not even get into that 00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:40.140 for now. But you have to essentially take part 00:33:40.140 --> 00:33:44.779 in the destruction of nature in order to survive. 00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:48.920 Because the majority of jobs, like literally 00:33:48.920 --> 00:33:52.309 every job available to the average person, going 00:33:52.309 --> 00:33:57.009 to be a job that further continues economic growth 00:33:57.009 --> 00:34:01.329 and a job because that's by definition a job 00:34:01.329 --> 00:34:06.549 furthers economic growth you are producing you 00:34:06.549 --> 00:34:10.030 are producing you're producing by working and 00:34:10.030 --> 00:34:12.590 so you further economic growth in an economy 00:34:12.590 --> 00:34:14.510 that's based on the destruction of nature so 00:34:14.510 --> 00:34:17.389 that means the majority of jobs are literally 00:34:17.389 --> 00:34:22.079 destroying nature which also means that In order 00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:33.420 to survive, you have to destroy nature. And this 00:34:33.420 --> 00:34:38.639 is the monopoly on our survival. This is the 00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:41.699 monopoly that our economy has on our survival 00:34:41.699 --> 00:34:49.179 because you cannot survive off of anything else 00:34:49.179 --> 00:34:54.360 other than destruction. A monopoly is when there's 00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:57.980 only one product available or only one option 00:34:57.980 --> 00:35:01.179 available. The only option for our survival that's 00:35:01.179 --> 00:35:04.119 available is to continue the economic growth 00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:08.019 and continue working within our society because 00:35:08.019 --> 00:35:11.679 you cannot live a sustainable life in this society. 00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:14.980 I mean you might, I mean sure you can but not 00:35:14.980 --> 00:35:17.210 to the majority of people. Because if the majority 00:35:17.210 --> 00:35:19.869 of people did a truly sustainable life, then 00:35:19.869 --> 00:35:24.349 our society would collapse. That's just the case. 00:35:25.730 --> 00:35:27.849 Because then there would be no people to continue 00:35:27.849 --> 00:35:30.630 extracting resources from nature. And then there 00:35:30.630 --> 00:35:33.849 would be no people to create more money. And 00:35:33.849 --> 00:35:37.360 then there would be no more. It would just be 00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:40.599 a total systematic collapse because then all 00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:43.960 of the jobs Would go gone and then all the things 00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:47.340 that need to be maintained like electricity all 00:35:47.340 --> 00:35:49.539 the important things like nuclear power plants 00:35:49.539 --> 00:35:53.739 all that stuff would just be like it would just 00:35:53.739 --> 00:36:00.769 be Abandoned all right, so Basically the monopoly 00:36:00.769 --> 00:36:03.969 is that we only have one option for our survival 00:36:03.969 --> 00:36:08.730 and it's to continue destroying the world Which 00:36:08.730 --> 00:36:12.369 is it could be a logical jump, but if it makes 00:36:12.369 --> 00:36:15.309 you feel more comfortable the only option in 00:36:15.309 --> 00:36:20.510 our survival for the average person is to work 00:36:20.510 --> 00:36:24.210 within the system and That by very definition 00:36:24.210 --> 00:36:27.530 means that you are furthering economic growth 00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:30.980 in a system that's fundamentally based off of 00:36:30.980 --> 00:36:35.199 destruction and extraction of nature. So that's 00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:37.739 why there's a monopoly on survival. Survival 00:36:37.739 --> 00:36:41.519 is one aspect of life. The most fundamental aspect, 00:36:41.619 --> 00:36:45.159 of course, but it's just one aspect. And if our 00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:48.639 society has a monopoly over our survival, well 00:36:48.639 --> 00:36:53.960 then that is a very telling thing. Because you 00:36:53.960 --> 00:36:58.710 can't go out and rely on yourself to survive. 00:36:58.949 --> 00:37:01.670 If you were to up and leave without money within 00:37:01.670 --> 00:37:05.210 our survival, you'll die because there's no food 00:37:05.210 --> 00:37:09.130 to forage. There is no animals to kill, and especially 00:37:09.130 --> 00:37:11.349 because it's illegal to do that in our society. 00:37:12.590 --> 00:37:15.650 In like a city scape, which is the perspective 00:37:15.650 --> 00:37:17.969 I'm talking from because I live in the city. 00:37:19.489 --> 00:37:22.050 I don't even live in the greater city. I live 00:37:22.050 --> 00:37:25.400 like in a suburb. or like a suburb right outside 00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:34.719 the city, but more dense suburb. So that is the 00:37:34.719 --> 00:37:38.760 first monopoly. And like I said, the monopoly 00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:41.960 of society is a more extensive monopoly. So the 00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:46.239 first aspect is monopoly over our survival, for 00:37:46.239 --> 00:37:49.780 reasons I just said. And another aspect is monopoly 00:37:49.780 --> 00:37:54.300 over our job. There is a monopoly over unfulfilling 00:37:54.300 --> 00:37:59.239 jobs The only option available to the average 00:37:59.239 --> 00:38:03.820 person in our society is an unfulfilling job 00:38:03.820 --> 00:38:08.579 so literally our society has a monopoly over 00:38:08.579 --> 00:38:11.599 the Jobs that are available and the work that 00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:15.820 people do which mean and the only option that 00:38:15.820 --> 00:38:19.320 our society provides are unfulfilling options 00:38:19.950 --> 00:38:22.070 probably because they're based off the destruction 00:38:22.070 --> 00:38:26.329 of nature, or more accurately based off of the 00:38:26.329 --> 00:38:32.789 continue of an economy that is founded on the 00:38:32.789 --> 00:38:34.789 destruction and extraction of resources of nature. 00:38:36.170 --> 00:38:39.969 So basically, that's the second aspect of the 00:38:39.969 --> 00:38:43.949 monopoly. Our society has a monopoly over the 00:38:43.949 --> 00:38:46.650 work that we do. We only have one option, and 00:38:46.650 --> 00:38:52.539 it's to do unfulfilling work. pointed at by the 00:38:52.539 --> 00:38:56.380 statistic that 77 % of the population is unfulfilled 00:38:56.380 --> 00:39:00.360 at their work. And that is obviously an inaccurate 00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:04.619 statistic because that's just what people say 00:39:04.619 --> 00:39:08.019 and not actually what they feel. So that statistic 00:39:08.019 --> 00:39:10.980 could be way lower or it could be way higher. 00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:15.920 We don't know. But that's one thing. Our society 00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:18.000 is a monopoly over the work that we do also. 00:39:18.230 --> 00:39:22.329 So those are two aspects of the monopoly. And 00:39:22.329 --> 00:39:27.590 let's just go into a couple other aspects. So 00:39:27.590 --> 00:39:31.409 one other aspect is our health. You cannot go 00:39:31.409 --> 00:39:34.730 anywhere without touching something or experiencing 00:39:34.730 --> 00:39:38.130 something or inhaling something or ingesting 00:39:38.130 --> 00:39:41.170 something or whatever that is bad for your health. 00:39:41.710 --> 00:39:46.769 If you have done any research into like the health, 00:39:47.130 --> 00:39:50.050 nutrition, fitness, anything, then you'll know 00:39:50.050 --> 00:39:53.690 that literally everywhere you look is harmful 00:39:53.690 --> 00:39:56.110 for your health. I am sitting on a chair that 00:39:56.110 --> 00:39:59.309 probably has... Notice saying that it causes 00:39:59.309 --> 00:40:02.369 cancer I am touching the piano keyboard right 00:40:02.369 --> 00:40:05.530 now that I remember reading in the label in the 00:40:05.530 --> 00:40:08.309 instruction manual the warning label that it 00:40:08.309 --> 00:40:11.309 literally causes cancer like and this is not 00:40:11.309 --> 00:40:16.289 a uncommon thing my Alarm clock it's called a 00:40:16.289 --> 00:40:20.630 hatch restore That would there is an actual warning 00:40:20.630 --> 00:40:24.860 label not to have it too close to your body You 00:40:24.860 --> 00:40:27.420 have to have it, they say you must have it at 00:40:27.420 --> 00:40:30.599 least like 10 to 15 feet away from your body 00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:34.280 at all times because it causes like damage or 00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:36.860 something. Like literally everything in our world 00:40:36.860 --> 00:40:40.199 causes damage to you which reduces your health. 00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:44.139 So our monopoly or our society has a monopoly 00:40:44.139 --> 00:40:49.480 over our health and the only option is an unhealthy 00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:53.909 life. And that's just like. Small examples that 00:40:53.909 --> 00:40:58.050 I pointed to bigger examples is the only work 00:40:58.050 --> 00:41:00.210 of it like the only lifestyle that's available 00:41:00.210 --> 00:41:03.070 to most people is a sedentary lifestyle like 00:41:03.070 --> 00:41:06.269 most people sit in a chair all day most people 00:41:06.269 --> 00:41:10.329 eat the junk food which wasn't even available 00:41:10.329 --> 00:41:14.610 a thousand years ago and So those are two things 00:41:14.610 --> 00:41:17.849 our lifestyle the man a society has a monopoly 00:41:17.849 --> 00:41:22.079 over the our lifestyle we live a sedentary life 00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:24.500 and there's no other option because the work 00:41:24.500 --> 00:41:27.019 that we do is sedentary and the entertainment 00:41:27.019 --> 00:41:32.000 that we have that we need to use to get some 00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:34.579 sort of fulfillment or satisfaction because we've 00:41:34.579 --> 00:41:36.900 been deprived from work, that entertainment is 00:41:36.900 --> 00:41:41.760 also based off sedentary -ness, usually. And 00:41:41.760 --> 00:41:44.539 then the food that's available, like I'm pretty 00:41:44.539 --> 00:41:48.840 sure junk food is cheaper in our economy than 00:41:49.869 --> 00:41:53.510 Healthy food. So that's another thing but also 00:41:53.510 --> 00:41:57.070 like junk food is Like most people prefer junk 00:41:57.070 --> 00:42:00.550 food just because it tastes better. So literally 00:42:00.550 --> 00:42:04.949 our society has a monopoly over our health and 00:42:04.949 --> 00:42:08.449 fitness because the only options available and 00:42:08.449 --> 00:42:11.869 not just not because but and the only options 00:42:11.869 --> 00:42:14.750 that the monopoly provides us are the unhealthy 00:42:14.750 --> 00:42:18.489 options the sedentary lifestyle and the the junk 00:42:18.489 --> 00:42:22.150 food options. And even if you do eat healthy, 00:42:22.610 --> 00:42:27.510 you are still not perfectly healthy because of 00:42:27.510 --> 00:42:31.030 pesticides, because of, even if you have a perfectly 00:42:31.030 --> 00:42:35.710 healthy and you have enough money to spend on 00:42:35.710 --> 00:42:40.590 the most optimal food, it's still grown in soil 00:42:40.590 --> 00:42:46.289 that's been, that was just like, that has been, 00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:52.039 Taken or that has been its nutrients extracted 00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:56.119 from because our society likes to extract Resources 00:42:56.119 --> 00:42:59.159 from nature. That's the very nature of the way 00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:02.619 that we farm the way that we farm is that we 00:43:02.619 --> 00:43:07.280 till the soil and put seeds and Put water there. 00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:10.239 We take the water We extract the water from nearby 00:43:10.239 --> 00:43:12.880 rivers or nearby water sources which track the 00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:16.239 water so we can grow enough food in one spot 00:43:16.239 --> 00:43:22.110 and then we Use chemicals which destroy the like 00:43:22.110 --> 00:43:26.829 which kill literally kill insects so so that 00:43:26.829 --> 00:43:30.829 we can extract So that we can create a environment 00:43:30.829 --> 00:43:34.030 to have more food like that's literally extracting 00:43:34.030 --> 00:43:39.170 resources from nature Now if you do manage to 00:43:39.170 --> 00:43:41.570 have enough money to buy which is the minority 00:43:41.570 --> 00:43:43.449 of people who actually have enough money But 00:43:43.449 --> 00:43:45.630 also who choose to spend their money on that 00:43:45.630 --> 00:43:50.139 the minority of people If you do have that, then 00:43:50.139 --> 00:43:52.639 that's great. But that's kind of irrelevant to 00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:54.260 this discussion because we're talking about the 00:43:54.260 --> 00:43:56.659 mainstream society. But let's keep it in the 00:43:56.659 --> 00:43:58.440 discussion because even if you do have that, 00:43:58.659 --> 00:44:01.300 it's still not going to be as nutritious because 00:44:01.300 --> 00:44:03.780 it was delivered to you. It was picked like a 00:44:03.780 --> 00:44:07.780 week ago and it was delivered to you. Or it was 00:44:07.780 --> 00:44:13.730 grown on land that was not fully... Doesn't have 00:44:13.730 --> 00:44:16.570 as much nutrients as it did like 10 ,000 years 00:44:16.570 --> 00:44:18.610 ago before we started stripping the soil of its 00:44:18.610 --> 00:44:24.769 nutrients. So This is such a pervasive Monopoly 00:44:24.769 --> 00:44:28.650 that it even takes over the lives of people who 00:44:28.650 --> 00:44:31.949 try to escape from it So those are just a few 00:44:31.949 --> 00:44:35.250 examples of an extensive Monopoly and we can 00:44:35.250 --> 00:44:38.050 get into so many more examples if you want one 00:44:38.050 --> 00:44:40.489 to ponder think about the example of spirituality 00:44:40.489 --> 00:44:44.969 and I wouldn't bring this up because this is 00:44:44.969 --> 00:44:48.730 such a foreign concept for the same reason that 00:44:48.730 --> 00:44:51.329 I articulated of the Nazi world, how they wouldn't 00:44:51.329 --> 00:44:54.650 even comprehend what it's like. They can't even 00:44:54.650 --> 00:44:58.909 comprehend what it's like of other things because 00:44:58.909 --> 00:45:01.409 they've never been exposed to it. They don't 00:45:01.409 --> 00:45:03.190 even know anything about it. It's not even written 00:45:03.190 --> 00:45:09.190 in their history. But ponder for a moment spirituality 00:45:09.190 --> 00:45:15.940 and how There's a psychologist who said that 00:45:15.940 --> 00:45:21.719 Humans grew like kids didn't have an internal 00:45:21.719 --> 00:45:29.000 dialogue and so they have to Learn things by 00:45:29.000 --> 00:45:32.820 speaking out loud that's essentially them Training 00:45:32.820 --> 00:45:36.280 themselves to develop an internal dialogue, which 00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:38.059 are all the thoughts from a gene in your mind 00:45:38.059 --> 00:45:42.510 right now endlessly But essentially, the psychologist 00:45:42.510 --> 00:45:45.849 said that there is a kid who, or not a kid, but 00:45:45.849 --> 00:45:51.389 children in general, learn by saying things out 00:45:51.389 --> 00:45:53.309 loud because they don't yet have an internal 00:45:53.309 --> 00:45:57.440 dialogue. And that means that... And so when 00:45:57.440 --> 00:46:00.599 they're learning in our culture, they are speaking 00:46:00.599 --> 00:46:03.139 out loud so that they can train themselves and 00:46:03.139 --> 00:46:05.719 eventually they'll internalize the internal dialogue 00:46:05.719 --> 00:46:08.639 and cement it into their brain, which means that 00:46:08.639 --> 00:46:10.460 eventually they'll have endless thoughts going 00:46:10.460 --> 00:46:16.059 on a loop in their mind forever. Now if you ponder 00:46:16.059 --> 00:46:19.579 that there are also like spiritual teachings 00:46:19.579 --> 00:46:26.619 or esoteric knowledge, like also populations 00:46:26.619 --> 00:46:31.340 of people who rely on or whose entire spiritual 00:46:31.340 --> 00:46:36.539 system is founded on is The most fundamental 00:46:36.539 --> 00:46:39.579 aspect is internal silence which means no internal 00:46:39.579 --> 00:46:42.679 dialogue and that is something that literally 00:46:42.679 --> 00:46:45.619 no one in our society can even ponder because 00:46:45.619 --> 00:46:49.820 the majority of people experience an internal 00:46:49.820 --> 00:46:51.699 dialogue and they can't even if they wanted to 00:46:51.699 --> 00:46:54.079 turn it off they probably would not even succeed 00:46:54.079 --> 00:46:57.559 for longer than half a second and that's because 00:46:57.559 --> 00:46:59.960 of the way that our society created created that 00:46:59.960 --> 00:47:05.239 so connecting this back to the monopoly just 00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:08.380 ponder how there are monopolies that I explained 00:47:08.380 --> 00:47:10.739 how are pretty obvious that we can see like the 00:47:10.739 --> 00:47:13.360 health monopoly and the lifestyle sedentary and 00:47:13.360 --> 00:47:16.409 the work monopoly maybe But there are also so 00:47:16.409 --> 00:47:18.570 many things that we can't even comprehend because 00:47:18.570 --> 00:47:20.969 we don't even know what we've lost. For the same 00:47:20.969 --> 00:47:23.050 reason that people in the Nazi world, they grew 00:47:23.050 --> 00:47:28.010 up. They're people just like you and me. They're 00:47:28.010 --> 00:47:30.590 not inherently evil just like me and you are 00:47:30.590 --> 00:47:32.989 not inherently evil, yet they don't know anything 00:47:32.989 --> 00:47:34.690 else. They don't even know what they've lost. 00:47:35.070 --> 00:47:37.530 So here, we don't even know what we've lost either. 00:47:37.920 --> 00:47:41.500 One thing to ponder is what if we've lost our 00:47:41.500 --> 00:47:44.519 very connection to what all the religions call 00:47:44.519 --> 00:47:48.639 the spiritual world? because our society instills 00:47:48.639 --> 00:47:51.980 a internal dialogue with us and in order to have 00:47:51.980 --> 00:47:53.719 a connection to the spirit world you have to 00:47:53.719 --> 00:47:56.559 have some degree of silence and now I've actually 00:47:56.559 --> 00:47:59.849 had direct experience with this because I used 00:47:59.849 --> 00:48:02.610 to not be able to shut off my internal dialogue 00:48:02.610 --> 00:48:04.849 for longer than half a second. And over the course 00:48:04.849 --> 00:48:07.250 of the years, I actually became better and better 00:48:07.250 --> 00:48:09.389 and better and longer and longer and longer at 00:48:09.389 --> 00:48:14.690 being silent. And I actually, I've gotten to 00:48:14.690 --> 00:48:16.730 the point a couple of weeks ago where I was, 00:48:17.090 --> 00:48:20.690 and like last night and this morning, I'm able 00:48:20.690 --> 00:48:25.070 to see things that I wasn't able to see before 00:48:25.070 --> 00:48:27.590 that are literally there, like they are actually 00:48:27.590 --> 00:48:30.159 there. but I wasn't able to see them. They're 00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:32.840 not there in the sense that like this pen in 00:48:32.840 --> 00:48:35.079 front of me is here, but they are still there. 00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:37.300 Like I'm able to perceive them and I'm not imagining 00:48:37.300 --> 00:48:42.019 them because my imagination is very flimsy, to 00:48:42.019 --> 00:48:44.539 say the least, and I'm not able to imagine things 00:48:44.539 --> 00:48:47.659 like that. So just ponder for a moment that there 00:48:47.659 --> 00:48:50.340 are some things that this monopoly has taken 00:48:50.340 --> 00:48:52.760 away from us that we don't even know that we've 00:48:52.760 --> 00:48:56.699 lost. And one example is our direct link to the 00:48:56.699 --> 00:49:00.039 spiritual, and it's been replaced with faith, 00:49:01.199 --> 00:49:04.659 which is inherent in like the majority of our 00:49:04.659 --> 00:49:09.960 culture's religions. Now, this is where it gets 00:49:09.960 --> 00:49:15.840 really curious, because that's an important point 00:49:15.840 --> 00:49:19.579 that I just said. It has been replaced by faith. 00:49:20.980 --> 00:49:24.239 Every single thing or I don't know about every 00:49:24.239 --> 00:49:27.599 single one, but the far majority of our things 00:49:27.599 --> 00:49:32.099 that we've lost Have been replaced by something 00:49:32.099 --> 00:49:35.840 This is important. This is where this this is 00:49:35.840 --> 00:49:38.460 where this theory gets really curious because 00:49:38.460 --> 00:49:46.559 I'm gonna bring in another analogy Imagine or 00:49:46.559 --> 00:49:50.880 like just just Picture the system of a factory 00:49:50.880 --> 00:49:54.460 so not in any like negative connotation That's 00:49:54.460 --> 00:49:56.719 not what's implied. We're just using an analogy 00:49:56.719 --> 00:50:01.420 of a factory just for To increase our ability 00:50:01.420 --> 00:50:03.500 to understand and comprehend what I'm trying 00:50:03.500 --> 00:50:09.099 to say So a factory is a system that takes raw 00:50:09.099 --> 00:50:13.239 whole materials and puts it through a system 00:50:13.869 --> 00:50:18.070 A series of like steps to process it and turn 00:50:18.070 --> 00:50:22.610 it into a product Okay, so that's that's what 00:50:22.610 --> 00:50:24.809 the system of a factory is like it takes whole 00:50:24.809 --> 00:50:29.369 ingredients and then Processes them to where 00:50:29.369 --> 00:50:31.750 they're not whole anymore, but they turn into 00:50:31.750 --> 00:50:36.929 a product That's usable Within or maybe not necessarily 00:50:36.929 --> 00:50:41.969 within the system, but it's usable To something 00:50:42.429 --> 00:50:50.610 Okay. So our society takes is like a factory 00:50:50.610 --> 00:50:56.150 in the sense that it takes whole human beings. 00:50:56.969 --> 00:51:01.170 And what I mean by whole is in the most holistic 00:51:01.170 --> 00:51:05.449 sense that you and I can't even comprehend. One 00:51:05.449 --> 00:51:10.869 material aspect of that holistic sense is healthy. 00:51:11.070 --> 00:51:13.769 Health and fitness. Children are the healthiest 00:51:13.769 --> 00:51:15.849 people on the planet and they're the most fit 00:51:15.849 --> 00:51:22.230 human beings on the planet. Or at least they're 00:51:22.230 --> 00:51:25.769 the closest to what they should be at according 00:51:25.769 --> 00:51:28.429 to their age. And what I mean by that is like 00:51:28.429 --> 00:51:32.409 a five year old child is closer to the ideal 00:51:32.409 --> 00:51:36.409 fitness and health of a five year old than what 00:51:36.409 --> 00:51:40.269 a 40 year old. Person is going to be because 00:51:40.269 --> 00:51:43.449 a 40 year old person is fat and unhealthy And 00:51:43.449 --> 00:51:46.210 they're they're way further away from what that 00:51:46.210 --> 00:51:48.710 health they should be experiencing it is But 00:51:48.710 --> 00:51:51.690 the five -year -old is not is way closer to that 00:51:51.690 --> 00:51:53.570 ideal health of that age. So that's what I mean 00:51:53.570 --> 00:51:59.030 by that so and That's okay. So our society takes 00:51:59.030 --> 00:52:01.920 whole human beings in the most holistic sense. 00:52:02.440 --> 00:52:04.900 One example, one aspect of that is health and 00:52:04.900 --> 00:52:12.500 fitness. Another aspect is morality. I believe 00:52:12.500 --> 00:52:16.679 that human beings are fundamentally just. They 00:52:16.679 --> 00:52:20.059 fundamentally know what is right and wrong in 00:52:20.059 --> 00:52:24.920 their heart. But it's not until later that Society 00:52:24.920 --> 00:52:27.340 corrupts them and makes it so that we need laws, 00:52:27.500 --> 00:52:29.079 but we'll get into that because that that goes 00:52:29.079 --> 00:52:32.340 into what I'm trying to say. So that's another 00:52:32.340 --> 00:52:34.960 example of morality, but also another example 00:52:34.960 --> 00:52:37.880 of stuff that we can't even comprehend that we've 00:52:37.880 --> 00:52:40.599 lost or things that we can't even comprehend 00:52:40.599 --> 00:52:43.739 that are part of what it means to be a whole 00:52:43.739 --> 00:52:46.840 human, which is the spiritual side of things, 00:52:47.599 --> 00:52:49.860 which is connects to what I said before about 00:52:49.860 --> 00:52:52.590 the internal dialogue and the connection with 00:52:52.590 --> 00:52:54.869 the spiritual realm or whatever that thing that 00:52:54.869 --> 00:52:58.489 I'm trying to talk about is. That is another 00:52:58.489 --> 00:53:01.849 aspect of what it means to be whole. Having that 00:53:01.849 --> 00:53:05.590 whole connected, being able to encompass all 00:53:05.590 --> 00:53:08.349 of that. Perfect health, perfect connection with 00:53:08.349 --> 00:53:11.809 spiritual, perfect morality. Not perfect, but 00:53:11.809 --> 00:53:15.889 whole. I mean perfect in the sense of whole. 00:53:16.550 --> 00:53:19.849 And obviously there are still mistakes that you 00:53:19.849 --> 00:53:24.630 can make. Or whatever but like it's not perfect. 00:53:24.630 --> 00:53:27.829 It's not perfect in like our society is connotation 00:53:27.829 --> 00:53:32.250 of that It's whole whole as in like you exhibit 00:53:32.250 --> 00:53:38.710 those traits Without it being degraded So going 00:53:38.710 --> 00:53:41.530 back to the analogy our society is like a factory 00:53:41.530 --> 00:53:43.829 where it takes whole human beings and puts it 00:53:43.829 --> 00:53:48.590 through a system of Processing to create a product 00:53:48.969 --> 00:53:52.769 And that product is a broken person, a broken 00:53:52.769 --> 00:53:58.269 soul. So for example, it takes a whole child 00:53:58.269 --> 00:54:02.150 and puts it in school and breaks it down, makes 00:54:02.150 --> 00:54:05.090 it sit in a chair for hours, makes it listen 00:54:05.090 --> 00:54:07.929 to a teacher so that it makes it raise its hand, 00:54:08.010 --> 00:54:11.250 ask for permission to do things. So all that 00:54:11.250 --> 00:54:14.019 stuff, it... starts to lose its health because 00:54:14.019 --> 00:54:17.719 it's sitting down. It starts to lose its autonomy 00:54:17.719 --> 00:54:20.739 and independence and ability to know between 00:54:20.739 --> 00:54:23.659 right and wrong inherently because it has to 00:54:23.659 --> 00:54:26.340 listen to a teacher to tell it. And we're training 00:54:26.340 --> 00:54:29.380 it to do all these things. And that's one part 00:54:29.380 --> 00:54:32.519 of the system. Another part of the system is 00:54:32.519 --> 00:54:36.099 after school you go to work and that is also 00:54:36.099 --> 00:54:40.079 a process of just degrading and well actually 00:54:40.079 --> 00:54:48.219 here. Okay, let's let's back up a moment The 00:54:48.219 --> 00:54:51.860 process that it takes that it puts the child 00:54:51.860 --> 00:54:55.699 through is A process of taking away its wholeness 00:54:55.699 --> 00:54:59.139 it loses its health Which is evident in just 00:54:59.139 --> 00:55:01.559 open your eyes and look at the look at the health 00:55:01.559 --> 00:55:05.300 of the people around you and It's also hard to 00:55:05.300 --> 00:55:07.059 say because we don't even know what real health 00:55:07.059 --> 00:55:09.739 looks like or feels like because we've never 00:55:09.739 --> 00:55:14.869 experienced truly natural way to live but whatever 00:55:14.869 --> 00:55:21.889 it the system takes away our wholeness whole 00:55:21.889 --> 00:55:27.690 health whole spiritual whole morality whole relationships 00:55:27.690 --> 00:55:30.849 whole anything whole every aspect it's a monopoly 00:55:30.849 --> 00:55:34.570 so it it deals with every single aspect of life 00:55:34.570 --> 00:55:45.070 and then It sees that the thing is broken. The 00:55:45.070 --> 00:55:50.269 person is now broken. And so it offers a way 00:55:50.269 --> 00:55:53.570 to fix it. It says, okay, you're broken now. 00:55:53.670 --> 00:55:58.670 Like you're fat. Now go and work. Go and do some 00:55:58.670 --> 00:56:01.650 work to fix it. So you're fat now. Now you have 00:56:01.650 --> 00:56:05.710 to go to the gym and put in a lot of work. It's 00:56:05.710 --> 00:56:08.690 really hard work. And you have to do that for 00:56:08.690 --> 00:56:12.760 years. and then you'll be able to fix it. But 00:56:12.760 --> 00:56:17.739 that substitute is so artificial compared to 00:56:17.739 --> 00:56:21.280 what you lost in the first place, which was genuine 00:56:21.280 --> 00:56:24.300 natural health. And that's one aspect. Remember, 00:56:24.320 --> 00:56:28.019 it's a monopoly, so it doesn't only affect health. 00:56:28.320 --> 00:56:31.820 It also affects work. It also affects spiritual. 00:56:32.500 --> 00:56:35.880 So, okay, so you're broken. You're a broken soul 00:56:35.880 --> 00:56:37.539 now, and you don't even realize that you're broken 00:56:37.539 --> 00:56:40.300 because... We've gotten so good at lying to ourselves. 00:56:40.380 --> 00:56:42.760 And it's a normal thing. The people in the Nazi 00:56:42.760 --> 00:56:44.719 world wouldn't realize that they're broken, because 00:56:44.719 --> 00:56:47.300 that's all they know. That's normal. And the 00:56:47.300 --> 00:56:49.420 same thing here. We don't realize that we're 00:56:49.420 --> 00:56:53.920 broken. Oh, so you're broken spiritually? All 00:56:53.920 --> 00:56:56.159 right, take this religion. Take Christianity. 00:56:56.980 --> 00:57:03.579 Take Islam. Take Judaism. Take Buddhism. Take 00:57:03.579 --> 00:57:06.820 literally any religion, any spiritual practice. 00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:12.960 anything so that you can do a lot of work read 00:57:12.960 --> 00:57:19.619 the Bible put in a lot of work and fix it and 00:57:19.619 --> 00:57:24.840 and as a result you lose a genuine whole authentic 00:57:24.840 --> 00:57:30.900 great thing and it's replaced with an artificial 00:57:30.900 --> 00:57:37.179 substitute called faith or called whatever So 00:57:37.179 --> 00:57:41.719 that's another aspect of the monopoly and how 00:57:41.719 --> 00:57:45.260 it's not just a monopoly of how it only gives 00:57:45.260 --> 00:57:47.760 you one option. It's a monopoly in the sense 00:57:47.760 --> 00:57:50.980 that it literally systematically whittles you 00:57:50.980 --> 00:57:56.159 down in a incomprehensible way that no one can 00:57:56.159 --> 00:57:59.760 even comprehend because we don't know any other 00:57:59.760 --> 00:58:06.739 way of life. And after a while... it whittles 00:58:06.739 --> 00:58:10.099 you down so much that you're so broken and you 00:58:10.099 --> 00:58:14.179 are like, oh shoot, I gotta fix something. Please, 00:58:14.420 --> 00:58:16.780 I need help. And then it tells you to go to the 00:58:16.780 --> 00:58:18.679 gym. It tells you to read the Bible. It tells 00:58:18.679 --> 00:58:22.360 you to have faith. It tells you to listen to 00:58:22.360 --> 00:58:25.400 the law. It tells you to follow the rules. It 00:58:25.400 --> 00:58:30.960 tells you to be a kind neighbor. All of this 00:58:30.960 --> 00:58:37.739 stuff, it takes, and that's, like just the depth 00:58:37.739 --> 00:58:40.599 of it. And it probably goes even deeper than 00:58:40.599 --> 00:58:43.139 I can even comprehend right now. Like a month 00:58:43.139 --> 00:58:45.639 ago, I didn't even have all of this stuff into 00:58:45.639 --> 00:58:56.480 words. All right, so. Why does all this matter? 00:58:56.920 --> 00:58:59.280 Why does it matter? Well, it matters because 00:58:59.280 --> 00:59:02.500 I want to ensure that I am living a life that's 00:59:02.500 --> 00:59:07.860 worthwhile. Because if you. Like, it's hard to 00:59:07.860 --> 00:59:15.280 say objective, but if you take into mind the 00:59:15.280 --> 00:59:20.599 whole system, well then there are certain, if 00:59:20.599 --> 00:59:26.000 you consciously understand the system, then there 00:59:26.000 --> 00:59:30.480 are certain ways of life that you'll just see 00:59:30.480 --> 00:59:35.079 are lesser than what they could be. less fulfilling, 00:59:35.440 --> 00:59:38.239 less healthy, less, literally, lesser on every 00:59:38.239 --> 00:59:40.639 aspect. So I just want to make sure that I'm 00:59:40.639 --> 00:59:45.980 living a life that's worthwhile. And I don't 00:59:45.980 --> 00:59:50.860 know what that looks like, because for the same 00:59:50.860 --> 00:59:54.260 reason that the Nazi world, like the person living 00:59:54.260 --> 00:59:56.059 in the Nazi world wouldn't know what that would 00:59:56.059 --> 01:00:00.480 look like either, but... That's the thing and 01:00:00.480 --> 01:00:02.880 it's not this is not like a despair. This is 01:00:02.880 --> 01:00:05.480 literally just it's I think it's a empowering 01:00:05.480 --> 01:00:12.119 model to understand and So that is and this is 01:00:12.119 --> 01:00:13.760 something important to me because this is something 01:00:13.760 --> 01:00:17.239 I've always felt Like I've literally always felt 01:00:17.239 --> 01:00:19.619 that there was something wrong. I didn't know 01:00:19.619 --> 01:00:22.280 what was wrong I couldn't point to anything actually 01:00:22.280 --> 01:00:24.320 I could point to things like but I didn't know 01:00:24.320 --> 01:00:27.019 why like when I was a kid I used to come home 01:00:27.019 --> 01:00:32.280 crying like Because of school like and just like 01:00:32.280 --> 01:00:34.500 screaming and complaining of school. I didn't 01:00:34.500 --> 01:00:38.079 know why I didn't know anything. I didn't know 01:00:38.079 --> 01:00:39.980 why I was wrong I didn't know why it was wrong 01:00:39.980 --> 01:00:43.039 for the same reason that a Nazi child who goes 01:00:43.039 --> 01:00:47.420 to a Nazi school in that Nazi world They wouldn't 01:00:47.420 --> 01:00:50.280 know what's wrong with it, but they would know 01:00:50.280 --> 01:00:54.500 that it's wrong Like that's the same. It's it's 01:00:54.500 --> 01:00:57.510 the same feeling I think Then again, I've never 01:00:57.510 --> 01:00:59.170 been in a Nazi world, so I don't know what that 01:00:59.170 --> 01:01:01.389 feels like. And maybe I'm being very delusional, 01:01:01.429 --> 01:01:04.750 but I highly doubt that I'm being delusional, 01:01:06.170 --> 01:01:09.510 because there's all the evidence points, or so 01:01:09.510 --> 01:01:12.050 much evidence points to the contrary, especially 01:01:12.050 --> 01:01:15.349 since we've evolved as humans and as a species 01:01:15.349 --> 01:01:21.429 over the course of millions of years, and we're 01:01:21.429 --> 01:01:24.300 not living that life anymore. We're not living 01:01:24.300 --> 01:01:26.940 anything like that because of progress. We've 01:01:26.940 --> 01:01:30.400 progressed past that. But that's also a key factor 01:01:30.400 --> 01:01:34.659 in the indoctrination campaign. We think it's 01:01:34.659 --> 01:01:37.079 progress. And I don't think it's progress when 01:01:37.079 --> 01:01:40.260 every single aspect of our life has been degraded. 01:01:40.599 --> 01:01:44.179 I think that's a retardation. I don't even know 01:01:44.179 --> 01:01:46.880 how to use that word properly. But maybe that's 01:01:46.880 --> 01:01:50.099 a derogatory term. But that's like whatever. 01:01:51.539 --> 01:01:56.110 All right, so. This is, but I know that I'm still 01:01:56.110 --> 01:01:59.210 missing something, but I just want, I'm actively 01:01:59.210 --> 01:02:02.690 adding to this thing. There was something that 01:02:02.690 --> 01:02:06.309 I was gonna say, and then I started looking at 01:02:06.309 --> 01:02:11.130 my notes to move forward, but I don't know. Basically, 01:02:11.150 --> 01:02:17.050 this is a very interesting concept or model to 01:02:17.050 --> 01:02:24.130 me. Now, here, okay, Big topic change that I'm 01:02:24.130 --> 01:02:28.230 about to have is I think that I'm probably done 01:02:28.230 --> 01:02:31.530 with YouTube, or at least for a very long time, 01:02:31.929 --> 01:02:36.409 because here, I'll explain why. I'll explain 01:02:36.409 --> 01:02:39.670 why I'm done with YouTube, making YouTube videos. 01:02:39.769 --> 01:02:43.670 And this also might be the last podcast episode, 01:02:43.670 --> 01:02:51.989 but I haven't decided that yet. I'm done with 01:02:51.989 --> 01:02:55.949 YouTube at the moment, at least. But I'm treating 01:02:55.949 --> 01:02:59.849 it like I'm done forever. Because the reason 01:02:59.849 --> 01:03:03.429 why I started self -improvement, or the reason 01:03:03.429 --> 01:03:07.989 why I started improving my life, was because 01:03:07.989 --> 01:03:10.570 society, like I explained, if you just follow 01:03:10.570 --> 01:03:13.590 the normal path, which any child is gonna do 01:03:13.590 --> 01:03:16.989 that, because that's human nature, is to trust 01:03:16.989 --> 01:03:21.679 the people who are raising you. still developing, 01:03:21.820 --> 01:03:23.619 you're still growing, so you have no other choice 01:03:23.619 --> 01:03:25.340 to trust people because you can't provide for 01:03:25.340 --> 01:03:30.239 yourself. So when you follow that path of what 01:03:30.239 --> 01:03:33.400 society lays out for you, then you are going 01:03:33.400 --> 01:03:38.800 to be broken, like how I explained. Except that 01:03:38.800 --> 01:03:42.800 before I thought that it was, or no, except that 01:03:42.800 --> 01:03:45.940 before, or no, here, over the course of the years 01:03:45.940 --> 01:03:48.920 I started Originally, I started just focusing 01:03:48.920 --> 01:03:51.519 on fitness, and then I started focusing on health, 01:03:51.739 --> 01:03:55.300 and then education, and then spiritual stuff, 01:03:55.420 --> 01:03:57.280 and then all that stuff. So over the course of 01:03:57.280 --> 01:03:59.480 the years, it started that my self -improvement 01:03:59.480 --> 01:04:02.340 started to become more and more comprehensive 01:04:02.340 --> 01:04:08.179 over touching every aspect of my life. So the 01:04:08.179 --> 01:04:10.380 way that I look at it is there's this big bubble, 01:04:11.179 --> 01:04:13.460 and then it's called society, and then if you 01:04:13.460 --> 01:04:16.519 stay in that bubble, then you... Going to lose 01:04:16.519 --> 01:04:19.199 a lot of things like health fitness diet like 01:04:19.199 --> 01:04:21.679 health fitness spiritual happiness fulfillment 01:04:21.679 --> 01:04:24.739 a lot of that stuff So then you have to leave 01:04:24.739 --> 01:04:28.139 the bubble or at least like you have to leave 01:04:28.139 --> 01:04:32.679 the bubble and work to regain stuff that you 01:04:32.679 --> 01:04:37.179 lost and The thing that I was I wanted to do 01:04:37.179 --> 01:04:39.320 with YouTube was I wanted to be a teacher to 01:04:39.320 --> 01:04:41.900 teach people how to do that to teach people not 01:04:41.900 --> 01:04:44.340 only how to do that, but to teach people to do 01:04:44.340 --> 01:04:47.619 that and to show that that is an option that 01:04:47.619 --> 01:04:52.679 you can do. But then I realized that why, but 01:04:52.679 --> 01:04:59.619 me doing that is perpetuating society and perpetuating 01:04:59.619 --> 01:05:04.380 the system, which means that it's going to ensure 01:05:04.380 --> 01:05:09.079 that the majority of people in the future are 01:05:09.079 --> 01:05:12.260 going to continue to be stripped of their wholeness. 01:05:12.599 --> 01:05:15.460 And then that means that only a minority are 01:05:15.460 --> 01:05:18.380 going to actually want to do the effort, are 01:05:18.380 --> 01:05:20.219 going to want to put in the effort and the work 01:05:20.219 --> 01:05:23.900 to actually get some sense of wholeness back, 01:05:23.920 --> 01:05:25.679 even though it's not the same, it's an artificial 01:05:25.679 --> 01:05:32.150 substitute. Or a Band -Aid, actually. And so 01:05:32.150 --> 01:05:34.369 I realized that that's what I was trying to do 01:05:34.369 --> 01:05:37.289 on YouTube, try to teach people to do that, even 01:05:37.289 --> 01:05:39.889 though that's not going to fix anything. It's 01:05:39.889 --> 01:05:43.630 only gonna help a minority of people. And it's 01:05:43.630 --> 01:05:47.110 really not gonna help myself either because it's 01:05:47.110 --> 01:05:51.050 more like, I'm really, I was really more doing 01:05:51.050 --> 01:05:55.130 that to feel fulfillment. Not to actually, that's 01:05:55.130 --> 01:05:58.409 like, that was the primary. thing because I have 01:05:58.409 --> 01:06:00.909 a huge deficit of fulfillment in my life because 01:06:00.909 --> 01:06:03.809 the way that our society is set up, it makes 01:06:03.809 --> 01:06:07.010 it so that we don't... by default feel fulfilled. 01:06:07.530 --> 01:06:10.809 And so that means that, okay, this gets even 01:06:10.809 --> 01:06:14.210 deeper. So our society is set up to, we are not 01:06:14.210 --> 01:06:16.809 by default fulfilled. And a conventional wisdom 01:06:16.809 --> 01:06:19.789 is that we have to try and we have to go search 01:06:19.789 --> 01:06:22.449 for our fulfillment. We have to go earn our fulfillment. 01:06:22.670 --> 01:06:25.889 And so that means that you will do work purely 01:06:25.889 --> 01:06:28.789 based on the fulfillment and not actually based 01:06:28.789 --> 01:06:33.699 on the benefit to the entire world or the species 01:06:33.699 --> 01:06:40.380 and here's my evidence because a scientist who 01:06:40.380 --> 01:06:45.780 Claims to be doing the work for the greater world 01:06:45.780 --> 01:06:52.480 creates something called nuclear nuclear power 01:06:52.480 --> 01:07:00.000 and That certainly helped in a sense to perpetuate 01:07:00.000 --> 01:07:04.400 our society So that could be a his understanding 01:07:04.400 --> 01:07:08.380 of helping. But he was mostly doing that for 01:07:08.380 --> 01:07:10.619 him his own fulfillment because there was a deficit 01:07:10.619 --> 01:07:13.280 in fulfillment. And here's how I know that because 01:07:13.280 --> 01:07:18.059 the world does not actually benefit from nuclear 01:07:18.059 --> 01:07:23.800 power. It does not because there is radiation 01:07:23.800 --> 01:07:27.579 and like Tell that to the people who lived in 01:07:27.579 --> 01:07:30.119 that town next to that nuclear power plant that 01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:33.059 got destroyed. I don't remember what the town 01:07:33.059 --> 01:07:37.639 is called, but it's an iconic town. And it's 01:07:37.639 --> 01:07:40.199 a ghost town because it's all radioactive. You'll 01:07:40.199 --> 01:07:42.960 die if you live there. So that does not help 01:07:42.960 --> 01:07:46.119 the world at all. It doesn't help society. So 01:07:46.119 --> 01:07:49.159 therefore, the things that you do, I think it's 01:07:49.159 --> 01:07:51.780 a very dangerous thing to do things purely based 01:07:51.780 --> 01:07:55.300 on fulfillment. Because that's what I was doing 01:07:55.300 --> 01:07:58.019 I was doing purely based on fulfillment which 01:07:58.019 --> 01:08:00.320 means that it's gonna perpetuate the system because 01:08:00.320 --> 01:08:04.739 it the system Has zero takes away the default 01:08:04.739 --> 01:08:08.960 fulfillment? Assuming that is a thing which I 01:08:08.960 --> 01:08:10.920 don't know for the same reason that Nazis don't 01:08:10.920 --> 01:08:14.619 know whatever but System takes away default fulfillment 01:08:14.619 --> 01:08:17.220 says you have to go and work for your own fulfillment 01:08:17.220 --> 01:08:20.439 and earn fulfillment which means that you are 01:08:20.439 --> 01:08:26.659 still within the system and they're I don't know, 01:08:27.180 --> 01:08:28.899 I'm getting asked. This is where I'm getting 01:08:28.899 --> 01:08:31.060 to the boundary of where I've thought. I haven't 01:08:31.060 --> 01:08:35.899 thought this as deep as this. So my logic is 01:08:35.899 --> 01:08:38.319 starting to fall apart right now. But I think 01:08:38.319 --> 01:08:41.050 there's something to that. how I was doing that 01:08:41.050 --> 01:08:44.090 for fulfillment, when in reality, it's not going 01:08:44.090 --> 01:08:48.970 to change anything. Me, even if I became a successful 01:08:48.970 --> 01:08:51.390 YouTuber, it's not gonna change anything because 01:08:51.390 --> 01:08:54.369 only a minority of people are going to want to 01:08:54.369 --> 01:08:59.350 do the work to do it. To do that. And even if 01:08:59.350 --> 01:09:02.250 everyone does the work, it's still going to maintain 01:09:02.250 --> 01:09:04.829 the system because everyone is, that's all we're 01:09:04.829 --> 01:09:06.890 gonna know. It's not going to change anything. 01:09:07.239 --> 01:09:09.560 It's not going to fix anything, for real. It's 01:09:09.560 --> 01:09:12.899 only going to help fulfill my own fulfillment, 01:09:13.439 --> 01:09:16.880 or help me feel some sort of fulfillment. So 01:09:16.880 --> 01:09:19.819 that's kind of where I'm at right now. I hope 01:09:19.819 --> 01:09:22.020 all this makes sense. This is stuff that I've 01:09:22.020 --> 01:09:25.340 been pondering for ages. So I don't know if it 01:09:25.340 --> 01:09:27.140 really makes sense to other people, but I hope 01:09:27.140 --> 01:09:34.199 it does. This is a very long episode. The last 01:09:34.199 --> 01:09:37.579 thing that I want to bring to mind. is this concept 01:09:37.579 --> 01:09:44.140 where dead ends are literally the best for coming 01:09:44.140 --> 01:09:47.819 up with new ways of life, new ways to live, and 01:09:47.819 --> 01:09:51.420 ideas. Like dead ends, if you embrace dead ends, 01:09:51.720 --> 01:09:55.359 they are literally ways to change your life. 01:09:55.680 --> 01:09:58.779 Here's one example. One major dead end in my 01:09:58.779 --> 01:10:03.600 life was when I was wanting to make the high 01:10:03.600 --> 01:10:07.050 school soccer team. and I tried out for freshman 01:10:07.050 --> 01:10:10.130 year and sophomore year, and then I didn't make 01:10:10.130 --> 01:10:13.149 it either time. So I really put in a lot of work 01:10:13.149 --> 01:10:16.229 in junior year to try and make the high school 01:10:16.229 --> 01:10:21.569 soccer team. And I got cut, or no, I didn't get 01:10:21.569 --> 01:10:23.750 cut. I didn't even try out because I got injured 01:10:23.750 --> 01:10:27.250 before that. So I wasn't even able to walk around 01:10:27.250 --> 01:10:34.090 without like bending my knee. And as a result, 01:10:34.390 --> 01:10:36.649 I didn't try out, which meant that I had a lot 01:10:36.649 --> 01:10:40.029 of free time on my hand. And that's when I started 01:10:40.029 --> 01:10:42.989 reading books. And that exposed me to new ideas 01:10:42.989 --> 01:10:46.090 that completely changed the way that I live. 01:10:47.409 --> 01:10:51.430 And right now, I'm in a dead end because I've 01:10:51.430 --> 01:10:57.789 been trying for a long time to do YouTube, do 01:10:57.789 --> 01:11:02.409 that YouTube. And in a more grand sense, I've 01:11:02.409 --> 01:11:07.310 been trying to... a long time in different entrepreneurial 01:11:07.310 --> 01:11:11.789 ventures for the past six years. But especially 01:11:11.789 --> 01:11:14.789 for the past two years with U2, I've been trying 01:11:14.789 --> 01:11:18.149 to do that. And now I realize that I actually 01:11:18.149 --> 01:11:25.810 don't want to do that. And so that's leading 01:11:25.810 --> 01:11:30.979 me to a dead end. Which opens me up to new ways 01:11:30.979 --> 01:11:33.760 to live and new I and it exposes me to new ideas 01:11:33.760 --> 01:11:40.899 and here's one one New Lifestyle I guess choice 01:11:40.899 --> 01:11:44.020 like the lifestyle choice of when I didn't try 01:11:44.020 --> 01:11:48.039 out for soccer was to start reading books Excuse 01:11:48.039 --> 01:11:52.479 me another the lifestyle choice for now that 01:11:52.479 --> 01:11:58.439 I was exposed to what is this tech is internal 01:11:58.439 --> 01:12:01.880 silence and really just now I have firsthand 01:12:01.880 --> 01:12:06.300 experience of just how valuable and important 01:12:06.300 --> 01:12:10.180 that is. And it's even more important than I 01:12:10.180 --> 01:12:12.699 can even comprehend, even though I've had some 01:12:12.699 --> 01:12:16.399 experience with it. But I was exposed to trans 01:12:16.399 --> 01:12:20.100 surfing like two or three years ago when I started 01:12:20.100 --> 01:12:25.500 reading books. But it's all about silence throughout 01:12:25.500 --> 01:12:29.350 the day. But it doesn't really necessarily show 01:12:29.350 --> 01:12:32.930 you anything in the same way that that you can 01:12:32.930 --> 01:12:36.310 see things in front of you like I can see The 01:12:36.310 --> 01:12:37.909 microphone that I'm holding in my hand right 01:12:37.909 --> 01:12:40.829 now. I can see the journal being silent throughout 01:12:40.829 --> 01:12:44.229 the day in your mind like turning off your internal 01:12:44.229 --> 01:12:48.609 dialogue being silent is Beneficial and I've 01:12:48.609 --> 01:12:51.369 definitely Experienced benefits, but it wasn't 01:12:51.369 --> 01:12:53.689 a conscious thing that I could point to it was 01:12:53.689 --> 01:12:56.920 more of like a subtle understanding for a very 01:12:56.920 --> 01:13:00.100 long time, until recently when I was exposed 01:13:00.100 --> 01:13:03.960 to certain ideas and certain technologies, I 01:13:03.960 --> 01:13:07.739 guess, or like lines of thought, where I was 01:13:07.739 --> 01:13:14.239 actually able to follow a procedure or follow 01:13:14.239 --> 01:13:17.800 a technique called Darkroom. If you're interested, 01:13:17.840 --> 01:13:21.199 you can look up the Carlos Castaneda, I think 01:13:21.199 --> 01:13:26.260 it's called Arshash Castaneda Reddit. And just 01:13:26.260 --> 01:13:29.380 do dark room. And if you practice that a lot, 01:13:29.539 --> 01:13:31.960 you'll be able to literally see the benefits 01:13:31.960 --> 01:13:37.659 of mental silence. Not just like the benefits 01:13:37.659 --> 01:13:40.199 of being able to make more effective choices 01:13:40.199 --> 01:13:43.300 in your life, but the benefits of what you can 01:13:43.300 --> 01:13:45.680 literally see of how it opens up another world 01:13:45.680 --> 01:13:49.520 to you. So that's the lifestyle thing that was 01:13:49.520 --> 01:13:51.760 exposed to me. Now I have that knowledge and 01:13:51.760 --> 01:13:55.880 I can, I see that. And then the big idea that 01:13:55.880 --> 01:13:59.779 I was exposed to is just the monopoly, what I 01:13:59.779 --> 01:14:02.640 explained this whole time. Like this was a huge 01:14:02.640 --> 01:14:07.140 idea. This is a huge, very important idea that 01:14:07.140 --> 01:14:12.060 could alter the trajectory of my life. So that 01:14:12.060 --> 01:14:19.199 is that. So that's the whole spiel. And if you're 01:14:19.199 --> 01:14:23.119 wondering why, how I'm able to come up with huge. 01:14:23.969 --> 01:14:27.670 Like extensive well thought out or maybe not 01:14:27.670 --> 01:14:30.090 well thought out I have no idea but just like 01:14:30.090 --> 01:14:34.930 lots of very big ideas and models and discoveries 01:14:34.930 --> 01:14:38.590 every month it's especially true because I have 01:14:38.590 --> 01:14:40.789 a lot of time on my hands right now because I 01:14:40.789 --> 01:14:44.149 got injured and I'm literally all I'm doing is 01:14:44.149 --> 01:14:48.109 just reading and Studying Spanish. I'm learning 01:14:48.109 --> 01:14:50.970 Spanish So that's literally all that's literally 01:14:50.970 --> 01:14:53.520 my day That's what I've been doing for the past 01:14:53.520 --> 01:14:57.600 couple days because I majored in the past couple 01:14:57.600 --> 01:15:01.699 weeks and months actually. Or whatever. But that's 01:15:01.699 --> 01:15:05.260 it. That's the end of the thing. Have a good 01:15:05.260 --> 01:15:06.640 day. See ya. Peace.
