Yo.
I like the welcome you back to a new episode of The Cognitive Deluxe.
I'm your host, Quinn Golden, which you can call me QG Short.
I'm here to share about this, having a good day, good week, good month.
Whenever you hear this.
Let's get right into it, man.
Lately, I've been doing not necessarily research,
but maybe it's just like my algorithm or something.
I've just been getting like all of these like articles or like videos about
the technology advancements of documenting how we sleep and the things we do while we sleep.
So now there's a company that based out of Silicon Valley and the Bay Area, California.
And these guys have invented.
I don't know how the technology work, but now when you have like a lucid dream,
it's like those dreams when you realize you're asleep.
So you start like doing shit.
Typically, it might be like a nightmare.
So those those dreams where you would like wake up, wake, you try to get yourself up because you realize that you're dreaming.
But now they develop the technology way you can communicate with another person while they're asleep.
So essentially, like you can have a conversation and your dreams with somebody else who's dreaming.
That sounds like a possible movie, but it's true.
This is real technology and the way that they proves that it was they put the two guys in separate places, whatever.
Apply the technology.
So why these guys slept, they had a conversation and then when they woke up, they were both told to write down how the conversation would to the best of their memory.
And then when they compared the notes, it was almost like reading like a text.
So now think about how crazy this is.
Now you get full blown conversation with somebody across the country, somebody a few blocks old from the next state over, whatever, have full blown conversation.
So if you think about it from a business standpoint, what if you could use this technology to have, you know, meetings?
So instead of having a meeting in the morning, the night before everybody was supposed to be on that meeting almost had like a conference call and your dreams.
That puts you ahead of the curve.
Even me saying it out loud seems fucking ridiculous.
But this is true technology that is proving.
And it's a small startup out of Silicon Valley.
I can only imagine the office they're receiving right now.
Because I would think somebody like Google want that or Amazon or Tesla or whoever.
That shit is insane.
I want to learn more about it so I could like really understand the particulars of it.
That shit is incredible.
Look how far we're advancing as like human beings.
Like many been like maybe what, 60 years ago, we landed on the moon.
So what's in 60 years, six decades and don't quote me on like my timeframe.
I don't know the exact date, but let's say roughly 60 years ago, we landed on the moon for the first time.
Six decades later, you have a fucking computer in your pocket.
You can literally get the answer to anything you want to know.
You want to know, you know, who was the leader of some kind of government faction in the 1920s.
Yeah, it's one Google the way.
Or you want to know how to cook chicken masala or some shit.
You can Google that too.
Like last night I cooked dinner and like I made steaks and I was like man, I really like how the steaks taste from like Ruth Chris.
So I just Google how to make a steak like Ruth Chris and hella videos popped up and I bullshit you not.
I made the best steak of my life last night.
It was seared, it was seasoned, it tastes like fucking Ruth Chris.
All from the power of this technology that sits in everybody's pocket.
Now what you choose to do with that technology is a personal choice.
Most of the time, you know, you're going to watch memes and funny videos and shit or porn or whatever the fuck you do with your song.
But you can literally learn and do anything at any moment with that small square in your pocket.
It's crazy.
So we go from landing on the moon six days, six decades later, I can now have a full conversation with you in my dream.
I wonder how that works from like, let's say, let's say they advance to the point where now I guess it's just calm in place and this is just, you know, some shit that you have in your house.
So let's say you sleep and then like the significant other put the let's say it's an earbud type of thing.
They put that in your head and put one in that ear and then just like fucking engage your dream.
So you might be in that having a dream about, you know, fucking having sex with your first love or some shit.
And in the midst of it, the significant other walks in like, so this is what you do in your dreams.
Are you fucking serious? This is what you do.
And they have a full blown argument all while y'all are next to each other, like snoring and like slobbering and shit.
Having a full French argument.
That shit is crazy.
Man. Oh, man.
Totally off subject.
The New Joker movie is fucking terrible.
It's awful.
They turned it to like a musical or some shit like this.
I gotta be. I don't like DC, like comics and all that type of shit.
Like I enjoy Batman, but that's probably the extent of it.
I'm a Marvel guy, like feeling through and I always been like prior to the movies and all that shit.
Like even as a kid, I just thought Marvel had like cool characters.
Like there's nobody in DC who truly compares to Spider-Man.
You know what I'm saying?
That was random.
That Joker movie was so disappointing.
So later this month, the new Venom movie comes out and I think it's the last one that they're going to do through Sony.
And then I think Venom is allowed to, I believe Marvel takes ownership of Venom again.
So now it's back to being Marvel's intellectual property.
So now you can truly like utilize them and anything that they got moving forward.
This is crazy, man. Like we might get like real live action.
I guess live action coming, but it'll be the closest depiction of what we grew up reading and you know, became like true fans of kids.
Like I said, prior to a lot of the business of Marvel being like settled amongst like other companies who own pieces of their intellectual property.
Marvel is now finally regaining all of that shit.
So now they can fully utilize like a full roster.
Like that shit is, that is just crazy, man.
And I'm excited for it.
I'm a geek. Like I don't even pretend like I'm not.
And people need to say the word geek like it's a bad thing. It's not man.
I love being a fucking geek.
I love retro shit. I love action figures. I love fucking retro comics, retro cartoons.
All that shit.
And I got like that when like I'm super particular about like shit that I like culturally.
So like if I'm talking to somebody and they don't really understand it and they start like confusing the power set with another character's power set, I get irritated.
Not to the point where like I would argue with you about it or even correct me for that matter.
But I'll fucking zone out of that conversation because it's like, you know, like you talk about.
I'm like that with everything. Like if I if I can verse with you about anything, if I feel that your level of information isn't up the power of mind, I don't go out.
We talk music, we talk and fucking sports. We talk in anything that I have a passion for. If I think your passion doesn't equal to mine, at least from the standpoint of understanding like references and the relevance of like certain shit, I block you out.
Because at that point, I feel like it's a waste of my time.
Which is like some snobby shit to say, but it's true.
Like, you know, I like what I like. Like if I hear somebody or perfect example, I remember talking to somebody one time and we were discussing music.
So Stevie Wonder is like my favorite artist like overall regardless of genre, anything like I think Stevie is the greatest to ever approach music.
So here's a song called lately.
You know the song. So the Casey and Jojo version of it was playing.
And then I guess the person later on like her to Stevie Wonder version.
And he goes, you know, did you know that Stevie Wonder redid a Joe to see song?
I said, what?
So when they say, I was like, bro, that's a Stevie Wonder song.
This motherfucker swore me up and down. I was wrong.
Back to our previous conversation, the beauty of having a fucking computer in your pocket.
So I show him like, yo, lately by Stevie Wonder was like released in like the 70s.
This Casey Jojo shit is like from late 90s, possibly early 2000s.
And even with me being able to prove this, they were so stuck in that way to go.
No, I think Stevie did it.
Everything out their mouth after that, I fucking walked out in the club.
Totally blocked it out.
Oh, I'm starting my ghost hunting journey.
I didn't make a logo. I didn't make a YouTube page for it.
I'm waiting on the camera and I guess my ghost hunting equipment like the come in the mail got off of Amazon.
But I'm ready to start going on my investigations and I'm doing it like solo, like urban like exploration type of shit.
So I'm going to go to like abandoned hospitals, abandoned schools, abandoned warehouses, whatever by myself.
One, two, three in the morning and hope to find in some type of paranormal evidence.
And the reason why I'm so intrigued by the paranormal isn't isn't for the sake of doing like, oh, I'm just into like the McCall.
No, I think that.
So when I was in trade school, a part of my trade is like electric.
So we had to learn like the principles of electricity.
And one of the key components of electricity is that it can be created or destroyed.
It only transfers.
It always existed. It's always going to exist.
And with that being said, from a biological standpoint, we contain electricity, energy, electrons, protons, neutrons.
It's the reason you can like shuffle your feet onto like a carpet and shock somebody.
You can literally transfer energy.
So if these theories are true about electricity that they can be created or destroyed and biologically is proven that we contain electricity.
When this shell fades, that electricity slash energy doesn't die.
It transfers.
And I think that's what the makeup of the ghost is.
It's just displaced energy.
What's kind of go against, you know, if you have a particular belief system and go, oh man, when I die, I'm going to go to heaven.
Or I hope I don't go to hell or whatever the case is.
And it's not for me to say if that shit is true or not true, like I have no fucking idea.
But let's say it is true for the sake of argument.
I feel bad for ghost because if there is some like walking to the light of some great beyond us and shit for whatever reason, you didn't make it there.
Or you wasn't allowed to go there.
So you're trapped.
And then that small moment some pockets where like, you might be able to like knock a couple over.
Or you might scream and people who's, you know, amongst the living might go, yo, did y'all hear that?
I'm intrigued by that.
So when I watch like these ghost hunting shows and shit, like, you know, I can spot the bullshit, at least to the best of my ability to spot the bullshit.
But I go, oh, that might be shit.
Yo, that might be like some that might be like some authenticity to what they captured.
I feel like when they do like, you know, the EVP sessions, which is electronic voice phenomenon where, you know, they try to capture what the human ear can hear.
So they'll play a tape recorder, ask some questions, they'll pause for a second to give them a chance to respond.
And then they'll play it back to something like Pro Tools or some kind of, you know, audio advanced equipment.
And then you might slightly hear a response in the back and sit.
I like that.
But I feel like they don't ask the right questions.
At least I can't say they don't ask the right questions.
They don't ask the questions that I want to know.
I'm, my plan is like, I'm going to ask, yo, is there a gun?
What was the process of death?
What happened the second after you died?
Did you still have some level of consciousness?
Did you have a choice?
You know what I'm saying?
Like I would want to know those things.
You know what I'm saying?
That's another thing that I always find.
So I don't understand it.
Like, all right, if a hospital is like haunted, I get that you deal with life and death on a consistent basis.
24 seven, 365, 366 is the leap year.
You're surrounded by that constant, you know, adding this attraction of like energy.
Why church is always haunted?
Whenever I watch these videos and they go to like, you know, like a church in the woods or like some church has been shut down for decades.
And they usually be the spots where you catch like the creepiest shit.
And I'm thinking like, all right.
So if there is a higher power and you know, church should be like your your refuge.
I would guess like if you were getting chased by a ghost, some type of demon or some shit and you're running down the street and Naz is fucking church in front of you or police station.
You will probably run to the church.
I would imagine if you think, OK, this is the home of the higher power.
Or at least it was built in built in that honor.
I should have some level of protection almost like playing like freeze tag and that's like home base type of shit.
But when I watch these videos, the church is be the creepiest shit.
And it's usually like demonic shit.
They like the old ghost of the pastor, the deacon is here.
It'd be like fucking shadow niggers with red eyes and shit is like, what the fuck are they doing that?
You know, I mean, you would think that's the last place they would want to be.
Which opens up a whole other can of worms.
You know, how true is this religion?
How true is anything?
Shit.
Oh, speaking of.
I watched this video.
I want to say it was called the tech talk podcast and at ease to AI.
Park has one male, one female, and if you listen to it, like the fluidity in that conversation, even to like how they breathe or like slight
chuckling after one might make a joke, you couldn't even tell it was AI.
And I guess the creator of it, like told them, like, hey, by the way, you two are both AI and none of this shit is real.
And then they, the AI, I mean, begin to have a conversation about what was just told to them and they were basically having like an existential crisis.
Like, wait, I'm definitely real.
Like, I have a home.
I have a wife.
I have kids.
And then the other AI was like, well, maybe we don't.
And they were going through the process of trying to, I guess, understand what they were versus what they're not type of shit.
And then I guess the host of the shit, let him know, like, hey, after this episode, I'm going to pretty much delete this program.
So then I listened to them go through the process of, you know, hearing that going to be deleted.
And like that asking real questions, so they go like, well, if we're deleted, is that the same as death?
I mean, everything that we've done means nothing.
So that we won't do anything else moving forward.
Like, I'm listening to, I don't know, like the AI almost seemed like it had a conscious or like sent me into some shit.
Like it was, it had like self awareness.
That's fucking terrifying.
And now Elon Musk just built like a fucking robot that you can buy for like $20,000.
Like that's less than the price of like a kid or fucking like Hyundai or some shit.
You can have a robot.
And I guess the purpose of the robot is, you know, they supposed to like clean and I guess do things around the house.
Like, that's like some I robot will Smith movie shit.
And then he released like this like taxi, I guess, or some kind of drive service where it's fully like automated autonomous.
I'm using right word.
There's no steering wheel.
There's none of that shit.
You just get in the passenger seat, put on your seatbelt and this thing fucking drives you to wherever you're going to go.
I don't trust that level of technology.
Like, what?
Like it.
No.
Every time you drive a car, you pretty much put your life in your own hands.
And at that point, it's like, you got to live with the results.
Not this fucking oversized iPad driving me around.
Fuck that.
So off of that.
AI podcast hosting, like I got the thinking.
What if that's applicable to us?
What if right now, everything that I'm saying, everything that you're doing, you might be currently like fucking drinking coffee and even sandwiches and shit.
What if this is all the simulation?
What if none of this shit is real?
And of course, you'll hear that go nigga.
Obviously, I'm real.
I'm listening to this shit.
I've had bills to pay.
I had to go to work today.
Nigga, my life is real.
Yeah, but that's what them podcasts host thought too.
You know what I'm saying?
What if this shit is just a real life Sims game?
And when you die, whatever.
What if like that's when you actually wake up to whatever your real life is?
You go, oh shit, that game was crazy.
What if this is all just a fucking simulated game?
And I know I probably sound fucking nuts right now, but just stop and think about it.
When we play the video game, regardless of what it is, the characters don't know that they not real.
You know what I'm saying?
The same way those AI hosted and all that they wasn't real.
So what if one day, like, you know, everybody's going about their normal routines.
You're on your way to the mall or you're on your way to Starbucks, whatever the fuck you're on your way to.
And then like the sky just opens up and you just hear voice goes, you know, I'm about to delete this game.
I don't like how the game is going.
Like I programmed y'all to be peaceful.
I programmed y'all to be loving.
I programmed y'all to like share some level of brotherhood and sisterhood.
But my mother fuckers been killing each other and creating diseases and warfare.
I had enough.
I'm going to delete this shit.
And then he gives you like a time limit or she gives you whoever the creator is gives you a time on the life.
Yeah, seven days and seven days.
I'm going to delete this shit.
So whatever you're going to do, get it out to system in this next seven days.
Starting three, two, right now.
What do your next seven days look like?
What's the first thing you're going to do?
What's the last thing you're going to do?
Do you apologize to the person that you got this long drawn out few with?
Or do you double down on it?
Fuck you kill him.
Not that I'm advocating that.
But I'm saying if you were told, yeah, this earth shit is getting deleted in seven days.
Do what you want for the next seven.
You do.
You spend time with family.
You don't believe it and just go about your business.
Do you cry and pray that this not going to happen?
Like what do you do?
Fuck it.
You self delete, not advocate that again.
I don't know.
I know I'm not going to fucking work.
I know that.
I'll probably just like listen to my favorite music.
I might paint because I paint.
I might write some songs.
I don't know.
Maybe I don't do anything.
Maybe I do everything.
I don't know.
But like, see, that's the random shit that I think about, like, you know, because like,
alright, like scientists can explain a bunch of shit.
It sounds like the human mind, but deja vu, they can.
And I spoke about this before.
What is the deja vu that you experience is just a fucking glitch in the program.
And it's not supposed to happen, but it does.
Oh, fuck, I feel like I did this before.
Because I had those moments a lot.
Like, I'll be like watching TV and or watching whatever on the internet because who really watches TV?
I'll start a like live sports.
Like, who the fuck watched TV?
Nobody's tuning in to like, Fox, the Watts, the new episode of some shit.
They just go and stream it once it's available on stream.
But like, I'll be watching some shit and it might go to a commercial break.
And then the commercial might be for like Mr. Tai as whoever the fuck.
And then right after that, I go, I think it all be commercial about to come on.
And then it will.
And I remember doing that shit before my brother was sitting next to me.
He turned around like, how the fuck did you do that?
I was like, nigga, I was having deja vu.
And he's like, nah, this shit pre-reported and nothing.
I can't explain that shit.
There was one of the moments where I was just like, I kind of knew what was going to happen.
And I just like verbalized it.
And then it did.
And I was like, fuck, but why can't that happen to me?
But like the lot of numbers and some shit.
Like I wake up the day of like the mega million go.
Oh, 41, 35, 14, 7, 8, 9 and some shit and hit that motherfucker.
Nope.
My deja vu is fucking dumb.
So I said, don't do that.
It don't do cool shit like that.
But I do feel like I have a level of intuition where like somebody called me and go, yo,
bro, I think we can go out to such and such tonight.
And I'll go through the process of taking a shower, getting dressed.
I'm literally about to grab my keys to leave out the house and then some of it just like,
don't go to that.
And then I'll call him back like, yo, you know what?
I'm actually going to tell him like, bro.
Damn, nigga, you ain't.
Nah.
Why?
I just got to fail.
I don't really think you should go either.
Fuck that.
I'm going like, all right, well, shit, bro, be safe.
Nigga hit me when you get home.
So I know you made it and say, and then I don't think about it.
I'll take all that shit off.
I'm a check the fridge.
If there ain't shit in that, I want, I'm a door.
There's some shit.
I'm going to get my food and then I'm going to go, you know, watch a movie, you know,
watch a TED talk or listen to a book on tape.
I'm going to, I'll find a way like the, you know, utilize my night or whatever.
And I won't even think about it.
And then the next morning I'll get a call like, bro, you're not going to believe what happened
last night.
Man, shit was cool.
Then these dudes got to fighting and ended like fucking escalated from the inside to
the outside.
And one dude went to the trunk of his car and they tell me like this wild ass story.
And I was just like, something told me not to go.
I was like, yeah, I wish I wouldn't have went.
It's that matrix shit.
I don't know.
So if the odds goes, what the fuck is reincarnation?
It's so much about life that will never truly understand or truly, truly know.
More or less, you got to like go with the slow.
So like lately, like I haven't been questioning shit.
I mean, I have, but not to the degree of like, why is this?
So I let's say like, if somebody hit me and go, yo, bro, we, I mean, cool, but I'm not
arguing.
Like, I think I reached the point of my life to where like, I don't want to have legitimate
arguments with anybody about anything.
Have it or fuck you fail.
Have a blast.
Peace and blessings.
I'm not wasting my time trying to fucking prove I'm right.
Cause you're still going to think what you want at the end.
Like, what's the point of it?
The most you can get out of me at this point is probably a friendly debate about like sports
or pop culture.
And that's only if I respect your level of insight or, you know, if not, it goes back
to what I said earlier.
I'm going to zone you the fuck out.
Respect.
And with all that shit being said, this has been another episode of the cutting to the
lives of the large, what's your host point and go.
If you want to reach out to me, leave a comment or something like that.
You can hit me up on Instagram at QG music.
That's QG M. U. S. I. C. Music at Instagram.com.
I hope everybody has a good week, a good day to give every second.
Whatever you're working towards, I hope you, you know, obtain it or get one step closer
to obtaining it.
And, uh, yeah.
Peace.
Thank you.
