WEBVTT

00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:03.279
Okay, we're live. Hey, Sylvan. How's it going,

00:00:03.379 --> 00:00:06.320
man? Good. How are you? It's been a long time.

00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:09.900
Yeah, it's been a long time. We better address

00:00:09.900 --> 00:00:12.859
the elephant in the room. You know what my question

00:00:12.859 --> 00:00:14.160
is going to be. What do you think it's going

00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:20.679
to be? What? Why did you leave Tony and Misk

00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:24.460
hanging when we had the live stream the other

00:00:24.460 --> 00:00:29.219
day? Dude, I was insane. That's when I was...

00:00:29.469 --> 00:00:33.950
Put in the psych ward. I don't think there could

00:00:33.950 --> 00:00:36.369
be a better excuse for missing a formal occasion.

00:00:37.030 --> 00:00:40.409
Yeah, that's actually the only excuse. What happened?

00:00:40.469 --> 00:00:43.210
Do you want to talk about that? Yeah, I can talk

00:00:43.210 --> 00:00:47.149
about that. I mean, man, it's a bunch of complicated

00:00:47.149 --> 00:00:52.049
stuff that's gone down. Where do I even begin

00:00:52.049 --> 00:00:53.969
with that whole thing? That's kind of a long

00:00:53.969 --> 00:00:57.070
story, but yeah, I guess that's what I'm here

00:00:57.070 --> 00:01:02.240
to tell. So I think it really it started when

00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:05.159
I started talking to like a lot of senior software

00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:08.040
engineer characters and a lot of people that

00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:11.739
are like much older than me, much wiser than

00:01:11.739 --> 00:01:15.560
me. And it's it took me up until sometime this

00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:17.859
year to realize that most adults are like much

00:01:17.859 --> 00:01:20.140
wiser than I am. And they've lived a lot of experience.

00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:23.579
But for some reason, like I didn't I didn't fully

00:01:23.579 --> 00:01:26.109
realize that until sometime this fall. And then

00:01:26.109 --> 00:01:27.950
all at once, it just, like, all clicked. And

00:01:27.950 --> 00:01:30.069
I came to, like, many realizations about the

00:01:30.069 --> 00:01:34.209
world all at once. I was surrounded by a bunch

00:01:34.209 --> 00:01:36.950
of very wise people. Like, a lot of people very

00:01:36.950 --> 00:01:41.090
into Buddhism and meditation. And it's people

00:01:41.090 --> 00:01:44.510
that, like, have been learning all their lives.

00:01:44.909 --> 00:01:48.689
And so I just, like, I got very excited by that.

00:01:49.849 --> 00:01:53.329
And I didn't do anything crazy when I was manic.

00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:58.500
I didn't kill anyone. I didn't like do a crazy

00:01:58.500 --> 00:02:00.459
amount of drugs or anything like that. I was

00:02:00.459 --> 00:02:03.920
just like very excited and talking to a lot more

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:05.840
people than I usually talk to. Like I flipped

00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.419
from being like an introvert to an extrovert

00:02:08.419 --> 00:02:10.460
overnight. And I think that kind of alarmed a

00:02:10.460 --> 00:02:12.860
lot of my friends and family, but it was like

00:02:12.860 --> 00:02:16.240
a completely harmless thing. And they threw me

00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:18.800
in the psych ward and I just like read for five

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:21.300
days. It was actually, it was the most productive

00:02:21.300 --> 00:02:25.259
week I've had. in a long time so honestly i kind

00:02:25.259 --> 00:02:29.360
of hope they send me back there oh yeah and how

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:34.280
how has it been now how have you been good i

00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:39.759
mean i i still once in a while get like very

00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:45.000
um very excited if i like i kind of went on like

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.919
a social engineering talking to people spree

00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.680
where I just like talk to like tons and tons

00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.120
of people in my audience and that can be kind

00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:56.919
of mind -blowing there are some pretty interesting

00:02:56.919 --> 00:03:00.000
characters out there really expanded my worldview

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.240
a lot so sometimes like when I talk to someone

00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:05.500
particularly interesting I get a little bit like

00:03:05.500 --> 00:03:08.400
that still but now it's like a pattern that I

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:10.979
can recognize and I don't really I don't go I

00:03:10.979 --> 00:03:17.039
don't go that lunatic anymore Have you ever gotten

00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:22.639
into the emotional roller coaster that you're

00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.240
good one day? I left a comment in one of your

00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.719
videos. I don't remember which one, but I don't

00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:31.080
know, man. Some days I'm feeling great. Some

00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:34.199
other days I realized that I am not going to

00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:36.639
be as big as I thought I was going to be, you

00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.699
know, when I was younger. And it's just, yeah,

00:03:38.860 --> 00:03:42.280
fuck all this, you know, what's the purpose in

00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:44.770
continuing and all that. and the next day you

00:03:44.770 --> 00:03:48.189
feel great and then you go down have you felt

00:03:48.189 --> 00:03:52.409
that yeah i've definitely felt that i think that's

00:03:52.409 --> 00:03:55.430
it's it's pretty normal part of the human condition

00:03:55.430 --> 00:03:58.789
i think you can kind of you can make it better

00:03:58.789 --> 00:04:01.930
by not having like expectations and by being

00:04:01.930 --> 00:04:04.509
meditative and stuff and people try to combat

00:04:04.509 --> 00:04:07.449
behavior like that with faith i think in general

00:04:07.449 --> 00:04:10.069
but i don't know it's kind of just part of being

00:04:10.069 --> 00:04:12.990
a human it's like having huge expectations and

00:04:12.990 --> 00:04:15.659
then reality is different and then i don't know

00:04:15.659 --> 00:04:22.699
you recover from it yeah yeah crazy man now um

00:04:22.699 --> 00:04:25.980
let's see let me let me start a poll let me see

00:04:25.980 --> 00:04:29.639
if this works we have a few folks in chat okay

00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:33.519
i'm gonna start a poll and let's see how many

00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:42.470
of the people here no still then hold on Is that

00:04:42.470 --> 00:04:46.670
a kid in the background? Where? Oh, you heard?

00:04:46.810 --> 00:04:48.730
I thought I heard someone. Yeah. Oh, yeah. My

00:04:48.730 --> 00:04:52.230
daughter. My daughter. I tell her, I'm going

00:04:52.230 --> 00:04:54.089
to go on a call right now, so don't be playing

00:04:54.089 --> 00:04:57.870
around and screaming. Yeah. Doesn't care. Of

00:04:57.870 --> 00:05:02.670
course. Yeah. I added a poll here. If you guys

00:05:02.670 --> 00:05:07.709
type a number, I think it works. Not exactly

00:05:07.709 --> 00:05:12.740
sure. So who in the chat knows? chalamet or vimati

00:05:12.740 --> 00:05:16.199
and i just type one in the chat oh yeah it works

00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:19.259
so if they type one man i'm works i'm famous

00:05:19.259 --> 00:05:23.199
okay yeah let's see let's see if that if the

00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:38.139
poll works now um let's see okay you talked about

00:05:38.139 --> 00:05:45.439
buddhism a moment ago What's up with that? Are

00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.939
you fully into it, or you're thinking about it,

00:05:49.019 --> 00:05:52.579
or what's going on? I'm a little bit into it.

00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:55.980
I think I'm into more the practical benefits

00:05:55.980 --> 00:06:00.220
of meditation, but maybe that's a little bit

00:06:00.220 --> 00:06:01.800
of a weird thing to say. I don't know. If you

00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:07.040
know Naval Ravikant, he has a take on Buddhism

00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:10.329
that's like... rationalist Buddhism, I think,

00:06:10.370 --> 00:06:13.689
which is, like, the scientific parts of Buddhism.

00:06:14.329 --> 00:06:16.449
That kind of appeals to me, but, dude, I don't

00:06:16.449 --> 00:06:20.029
know, honestly, like, I'm in kind of an existential

00:06:20.029 --> 00:06:25.410
point in my life where I'm, like, I was, for

00:06:25.410 --> 00:06:28.290
the first, like, 20 years of my life, like, very

00:06:28.290 --> 00:06:31.189
kind of devoutly atheist, but now I don't know.

00:06:31.370 --> 00:06:37.430
I'm not sure. Yeah. It's hard to say. So you're

00:06:37.430 --> 00:06:40.269
into the kombucha and the kefir, yoga pants,

00:06:40.529 --> 00:06:43.949
breathing techniques, mindfulness and all that

00:06:43.949 --> 00:06:46.709
stuff. Yeah. I mean, yeah, I live in Vermont.

00:06:46.910 --> 00:06:50.689
It's kind of what everyone is like. That's like

00:06:50.689 --> 00:06:54.889
my mom. Oh, yeah. Perfectly described. Yeah.

00:06:55.310 --> 00:07:03.189
So you're transitioning into that. Yeah, kind

00:07:03.189 --> 00:07:08.209
of. Why? What made you? you know, think going

00:07:08.209 --> 00:07:15.350
into that? Well, mindfulness just like, for me,

00:07:15.389 --> 00:07:17.250
it's kind of like a productivity tool, which

00:07:17.250 --> 00:07:19.269
I know is bad. Like everything is productivity.

00:07:19.430 --> 00:07:22.029
It's always, always the capitalist grind to get

00:07:22.029 --> 00:07:25.189
more work done. But like understanding your own

00:07:25.189 --> 00:07:27.569
mind a little bit, I think is, is highly productive.

00:07:28.470 --> 00:07:32.870
If you can see like certain, certain thought

00:07:32.870 --> 00:07:34.769
patterns will occur again and again, like why,

00:07:34.930 --> 00:07:39.480
why I don't want to work. This sucks. I don't

00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:41.459
know. You can kind of get to predict your mind

00:07:41.459 --> 00:07:43.300
a little bit, and I think that's a very powerful

00:07:43.300 --> 00:07:51.939
tool to have. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I'm not

00:07:51.939 --> 00:07:54.600
fully into it, I guess. Did you go through a

00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.560
phase in your life when you were looking at all

00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:00.259
the different options, like spirituality -wise,

00:08:00.379 --> 00:08:05.720
Buddhism? Surely you must have thought about

00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:10.160
it all. There's nothing but time to think about

00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:14.800
these questions. Yeah. I was raised Christian,

00:08:14.899 --> 00:08:20.079
but I didn't find my... It wasn't what I was

00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:25.259
looking for. I then found the Indian culture.

00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:31.149
They talk about Krishna a lot. Just kind of similar

00:08:31.149 --> 00:08:34.350
to Buddhism, you know, a little bit, you know.

00:08:34.610 --> 00:08:39.049
So that's what I went to and that's what I try

00:08:39.049 --> 00:08:42.610
to follow. I don't follow it perfectly. I try

00:08:42.610 --> 00:08:45.789
to do meditation, you know, mindfulness, but

00:08:45.789 --> 00:08:49.450
it's really difficult for me to commit to it

00:08:49.450 --> 00:08:51.710
and actually do it. But I do know the benefits,

00:08:51.950 --> 00:08:54.549
you know, I know that it's the only way out.

00:08:54.629 --> 00:08:58.950
There's no other way, you know. Yeah, yeah. My

00:08:58.950 --> 00:09:03.590
mind controls me 100 % and should be the other

00:09:03.590 --> 00:09:06.950
way around. But I don't, but it's because I need

00:09:06.950 --> 00:09:09.230
to meditate. I know for a fact that I need to

00:09:09.230 --> 00:09:10.809
do it. And it's the only way, you know, that

00:09:10.809 --> 00:09:13.950
I'm going to leave phone addiction, YouTube addiction.

00:09:14.090 --> 00:09:17.070
I hate it. You know, how's that going, by the

00:09:17.070 --> 00:09:21.330
way? YouTube, social media, all that stuff. How

00:09:21.330 --> 00:09:24.669
do you feel about that? It's definitely not where

00:09:24.669 --> 00:09:28.120
I want it to be. Yeah, just to be straight up

00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.600
and frankly honest, I would rather I never watch

00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.240
YouTube again, pretty much. It would be the dream

00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:36.659
to just only read textbooks and just study perfectly

00:09:36.659 --> 00:09:39.940
every day. But yeah, the reality is it's very

00:09:39.940 --> 00:09:42.639
hard to disentangle yourself, even with meditation.

00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.860
Meditation is not like a silver bullet, fix everything

00:09:46.860 --> 00:09:48.919
immediately. It requires a lot of work itself.

00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:56.580
Yeah. Do you watch a lot of YouTube? Not a ton

00:09:56.580 --> 00:10:00.759
of YouTube, honestly. No, I think. I think the

00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.519
bigger thing is like I talk to too many people

00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.059
online and just like in like 20 different conversations.

00:10:07.340 --> 00:10:10.940
Someone just texted me actually right now. That's

00:10:10.940 --> 00:10:13.360
that's the bigger distraction. It's like discord.

00:10:13.940 --> 00:10:16.940
And I didn't believe people saying that, but

00:10:16.940 --> 00:10:19.980
it definitely is true. And I don't know. I'll

00:10:19.980 --> 00:10:21.899
read YouTube comments a lot, too, like a lot

00:10:21.899 --> 00:10:26.350
more than I should. And. It doesn't end up getting

00:10:26.350 --> 00:10:28.649
me where I want to very much of the time. It's

00:10:28.649 --> 00:10:31.509
interesting information, but it's not stuff I

00:10:31.509 --> 00:10:35.809
really need to hear anymore. I noticed that you're

00:10:35.809 --> 00:10:38.710
going to open a Discord channel. You mentioned

00:10:38.710 --> 00:10:43.850
that today, right? Yeah. What's that about? There's

00:10:43.850 --> 00:10:48.529
a test that you need to pass IQ over 140. What's

00:10:48.529 --> 00:10:53.370
going on there? That's just to... You know the

00:10:53.370 --> 00:10:56.769
stereotypical Discord culture of having a bunch

00:10:56.769 --> 00:10:59.730
of... I don't want to stereotype anyone, but

00:10:59.730 --> 00:11:03.950
furries, basically. Degenerate meme spamming.

00:11:03.950 --> 00:11:06.049
I just wanted to make sure it's a serious community

00:11:06.049 --> 00:11:09.610
where... I don't know. I'm not exactly sure what

00:11:09.610 --> 00:11:13.509
the goal of it is, primarily. I think I just

00:11:13.509 --> 00:11:17.570
want to pair program with people more often and

00:11:17.570 --> 00:11:20.169
just improve my technical skills. So I think

00:11:20.169 --> 00:11:23.039
it's going to be like... a pair programming hub.

00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:27.159
There's a guy from my discord. Well, not from

00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:29.399
my discord. He actually, he took like a bunch

00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:31.779
of my viewers from my channel forum on GitHub

00:11:31.779 --> 00:11:34.500
and like started a company just using them as

00:11:34.500 --> 00:11:36.820
a workforce and the company is doing pretty well.

00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:41.659
And yeah, so I might direct more people to go

00:11:41.659 --> 00:11:45.200
and help him out with that or help other people

00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:47.440
start their companies from there. There's a lot

00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:49.539
of engineering talent kicking around in there.

00:11:50.239 --> 00:11:53.539
Yeah, that is true. That is true. You just need

00:11:53.539 --> 00:11:58.799
to find something to do with that. I did start

00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.940
my Discord server, I don't know, some time ago.

00:12:03.179 --> 00:12:05.620
But it does take a lot of time. It does take

00:12:05.620 --> 00:12:08.840
a lot of time. A lot of people just join to ask

00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:14.100
questions and just ask, ask, ask. And no, not

00:12:14.100 --> 00:12:19.139
worth my time, to be honest, at all. Yeah, yeah.

00:12:19.820 --> 00:12:22.120
I have a lot going on, so I just don't want to

00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:25.440
add. So I don't know what to do with Discord

00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:27.700
at this point. It's still there. Some people

00:12:27.700 --> 00:12:32.659
still chat in there, but nah. It's tempting to

00:12:32.659 --> 00:12:34.720
answer people, though. For some reason, it feels

00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:37.100
very productive to answer questions. It feels,

00:12:37.179 --> 00:12:40.779
yeah. When I started, I did, you know. And why?

00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:43.500
For no reason. It's just a waste of time for

00:12:43.500 --> 00:12:47.000
me. I was just answering, answering. Nah, wasting

00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:50.620
my time. I realized that is not taking me anywhere

00:12:50.620 --> 00:12:56.200
at all. So sorry, Discord. But yeah, it's still

00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.940
active. Some people still comment there, but

00:12:58.940 --> 00:13:02.639
it's not as active, not as active anymore. I

00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:05.340
don't participate too much, at least anymore.

00:13:05.539 --> 00:13:11.519
Yeah. Yeah. And what happened with your HR company?

00:13:11.700 --> 00:13:13.820
Because you were trying to hire people and you

00:13:13.820 --> 00:13:16.120
were going to become like an HR or something.

00:13:17.210 --> 00:13:21.090
what happened i mean that's that's still somewhat

00:13:21.090 --> 00:13:23.309
in the works that's somewhat what this discord

00:13:23.309 --> 00:13:27.990
server is like i have a bunch of senior developers

00:13:27.990 --> 00:13:30.250
in there too that i think just like to talk to

00:13:30.250 --> 00:13:37.669
junior developers and um there are i don't know

00:13:37.669 --> 00:13:40.330
there are a couple guys i was talking to about

00:13:40.330 --> 00:13:43.470
hiring people but there's a lot that goes into

00:13:43.470 --> 00:13:47.840
hiring people honestly and like i I really kind

00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:51.879
of like to glorify other fields of study, but

00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:53.960
I think like I'm an engineer at heart. I don't

00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:57.000
know. I'd have to learn a lot about analyzing

00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:58.879
people's skills. There's actually a lot more

00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:04.519
that goes into that than meets the eye. And what

00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:08.039
are you up to nowadays then? Like, okay, you

00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:11.059
used to live with Jake, right? And you were in

00:14:11.059 --> 00:14:13.080
the university. We're going to talk about that

00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.559
too. What are you up to nowadays? You quit university,

00:14:16.779 --> 00:14:23.539
right? I'm returning, I think. Someone in one

00:14:23.539 --> 00:14:26.059
of the many phone calls I was talking to people

00:14:26.059 --> 00:14:29.639
convinced me to return to university. But I don't

00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:33.279
know. That's a whole question that I'm like wavering

00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:37.039
on the fence about because my personal opinion

00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:41.500
is that university is like 20 years or something

00:14:41.500 --> 00:14:46.029
behind what what it should be it's it's kind

00:14:46.029 --> 00:14:48.509
of gotten left behind what technology we use

00:14:48.509 --> 00:14:52.950
um but there's another argument that you learn

00:14:52.950 --> 00:14:55.149
a lot of like deep theoretical stuff there like

00:14:55.149 --> 00:14:59.769
pure math and um stuff that's that's very important

00:14:59.769 --> 00:15:03.389
for when you become like the next level of developer

00:15:03.389 --> 00:15:05.909
like yeah they don't they don't teach you whatever

00:15:05.909 --> 00:15:09.110
hot new javascript framework but eventually the

00:15:09.110 --> 00:15:11.190
discrete math you learn from school will be very

00:15:11.190 --> 00:15:15.059
valuable And I think I just wasn't taking full

00:15:15.059 --> 00:15:17.340
advantage of my education. And I should have

00:15:17.340 --> 00:15:19.299
been like going and talking to professors about

00:15:19.299 --> 00:15:21.399
what research they were doing and really trying

00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:23.539
to befriend them. Cause those wise old professors,

00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:26.480
they know a lot about the world. Those guys can

00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:31.240
tell you a lot of secrets. So yeah, that's what

00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:33.820
I'm currently thinking. I'm, I'm returning to

00:15:33.820 --> 00:15:36.139
school next semester to finish my math major.

00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:42.149
I also, I don't know. I don't want to like, I

00:15:42.149 --> 00:15:44.330
don't want to jump right into working for a company

00:15:44.330 --> 00:15:48.509
yet. I think I want to build up my resources

00:15:48.509 --> 00:15:50.350
a little bit more. So I can maybe work for my

00:15:50.350 --> 00:15:53.149
own company eventually. And are you convinced

00:15:53.149 --> 00:15:57.870
about university or your mom said, no, you're

00:15:57.870 --> 00:16:02.669
going back to school? No, she, I mean, she'll

00:16:02.669 --> 00:16:06.610
really let me do whatever I want. This other

00:16:06.610 --> 00:16:09.029
random guy, this other random stranger I met

00:16:09.029 --> 00:16:11.330
on the internet kind of convinced me, but. I

00:16:11.330 --> 00:16:13.730
don't know, like half my friends, they drop out

00:16:13.730 --> 00:16:16.470
like and I know some really smart people that

00:16:16.470 --> 00:16:18.230
have dropped out. And then the other half that

00:16:18.230 --> 00:16:21.789
are also really smart, say stay. But it's free

00:16:21.789 --> 00:16:24.629
for me. It's like it's a little annoying, but

00:16:24.629 --> 00:16:27.669
I think the benefits outweigh the costs slightly.

00:16:29.350 --> 00:16:32.570
Yeah. Yeah. You don't have any responsibilities.

00:16:32.929 --> 00:16:37.029
So, yeah, I finished university this year. Precisely.

00:16:37.029 --> 00:16:40.470
It was five years. I'm 37, I think right now.

00:16:41.019 --> 00:16:44.240
I just finished. Did you think? Yeah. 37, 38.

00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:46.720
I don't remember. Somewhere around that. Really?

00:16:46.779 --> 00:16:49.899
Yeah. I don't, I don't need it. I didn't need

00:16:49.899 --> 00:16:53.759
to finish it, but I just finished it. Wait, do

00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:55.159
you not know your birthday? What do you mean

00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:59.259
37 or 38? Yeah. I don't remember. I don't remember

00:16:59.259 --> 00:17:04.339
how old I am, but I think I'm 37. Yeah. 37. Okay.

00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:07.960
I didn't need to finish university. I didn't

00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:11.079
need to start it at 30. Two is when I started,

00:17:11.220 --> 00:17:13.880
you know, but I said it's just another another

00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:17.180
tool in the belt. It doesn't benefit me at all.

00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:19.880
My employer doesn't care. You know, they don't

00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:21.880
even know that I finished right now. They don't

00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:23.779
care, you know, because I work as a network engineer.

00:17:24.420 --> 00:17:26.660
What does the university have to do with that?

00:17:26.779 --> 00:17:29.440
Yeah, you do get a few networking courses, but

00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:32.619
it's just trash. You learn nothing there. Right.

00:17:32.660 --> 00:17:37.839
But yeah. Could be useful in the future. In the

00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.259
U .S., it could be different. It is definitely

00:17:40.259 --> 00:17:43.140
different. You know, the level must be higher.

00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:46.539
But I'm in a private university here. I pay like

00:17:46.539 --> 00:17:51.220
$140, cheap university, a month. You know, $140

00:17:51.220 --> 00:17:56.720
a month. Wow, yeah. Yeah, no. I just did it just

00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:59.619
because, I don't know. So you can get the degree,

00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:03.819
basically. That's it. Yeah. So you can. Yeah.

00:18:04.349 --> 00:18:06.789
compete with other people in case they need to

00:18:06.789 --> 00:18:12.369
in the future or something you know but and so

00:18:12.369 --> 00:18:17.829
you're going back then for sure yeah yeah I am

00:18:17.829 --> 00:18:21.269
I also to me it looks like the hiring landscape

00:18:21.269 --> 00:18:24.289
is changing a lot just based on some of the some

00:18:24.289 --> 00:18:26.710
of the kids that I've talked to are just so insanely

00:18:26.710 --> 00:18:31.250
smart like I feel very behind and well I don't

00:18:31.250 --> 00:18:33.650
know the there are a lot of bad engineers out

00:18:33.650 --> 00:18:35.210
there and there are a lot of good engineers,

00:18:35.329 --> 00:18:38.250
but I've met some people that are like, they

00:18:38.250 --> 00:18:40.029
know like every programming language. They're

00:18:40.029 --> 00:18:43.509
also insane at math and physics. And like, it

00:18:43.509 --> 00:18:47.250
seems like, um, it seems like on average, the,

00:18:47.450 --> 00:18:52.750
my generation is, is we've like stayed inside

00:18:52.750 --> 00:18:55.509
so much consuming so much internet content that

00:18:55.509 --> 00:18:57.789
there's some like really, really insanely good

00:18:57.789 --> 00:19:03.059
14 year old programmers. And, Yeah, I think the

00:19:03.059 --> 00:19:08.200
industry is in for some change. But are those

00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:12.900
the exceptions, though? Like, does that happen

00:19:12.900 --> 00:19:14.740
a lot? Do you meet a lot of people like that?

00:19:14.779 --> 00:19:19.559
Or there's just a few kids like that? I think

00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:22.460
you're right. There is something to that. I don't

00:19:22.460 --> 00:19:25.519
think there's a ton of them, but I think software

00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:27.319
and honestly a lot of the world is structured

00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:29.559
in kind of like a power pyramid where you have

00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.240
like... one person who's doing like a lot of

00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:34.880
the work and then a lot of people doing like

00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:39.460
not a lot of the work. Yeah. That's what it seems

00:19:39.460 --> 00:19:43.180
like to me. Yes. It seems like intelligence and

00:19:43.180 --> 00:19:45.720
knowledge is not really distributed like evenly.

00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:48.220
It seems like there's a, there's like a pyramid

00:19:48.220 --> 00:19:51.339
and some people know a lot more about the world

00:19:51.339 --> 00:19:56.420
than others. Oh yeah. Yeah, for sure. Um, yeah.

00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:00.359
In the last interview, well, For people that

00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.319
don't know, this is the second time that Femati

00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:09.380
is in the channel, right? And in the first interview,

00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:15.019
we talked about drugs and we talked about ADHD.

00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:21.400
We talked about Adderall. Your ideas change like

00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:23.940
every week, every month. Where are we at right

00:20:23.940 --> 00:20:27.799
now? Are we on Adderall? If not, what are your

00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:32.619
thoughts on it? Um, I mean, right now I'm not

00:20:32.619 --> 00:20:37.160
taking Adderall. I think Adderall is a funny

00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:39.920
thing. And also I see some people kind of trolling

00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:42.180
me in my comments. They're like, Oh bro, bro

00:20:42.180 --> 00:20:43.920
took Adderall and then went to the psych ward

00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:45.599
and then stopped. And now he's feeling burnt

00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:50.420
out. People think I was pounding like a hundred

00:20:50.420 --> 00:20:53.339
milligrams of Adderall a day. It was not, it

00:20:53.339 --> 00:20:56.799
was not crazy serious like that. I was on, like,

00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:00.140
the lowest allowed dose for ADHD. And I think,

00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:04.099
honestly, what the science shows is that for

00:21:04.099 --> 00:21:06.839
people with ADHD, on average, it's great. But

00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:10.640
I think you can also totally function very well

00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:13.960
without any medication at all. It's just the

00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:16.279
people that do that are, like, weird. You know,

00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:18.660
they're like the Neo -Vim, like, productivity

00:21:18.660 --> 00:21:22.500
-maxing, mindfulness Buddhist people that, like,

00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:26.009
will do anything. to be productive and the average

00:21:26.009 --> 00:21:29.369
the average citizen is not like that so adderall

00:21:29.369 --> 00:21:32.430
tends to work really well but i don't know i

00:21:32.430 --> 00:21:35.750
consider like buddhism and mindfulness kind of

00:21:35.750 --> 00:21:39.569
a replacement for it oh so you're fully into

00:21:39.569 --> 00:21:43.130
it now right yeah did you become a vegetarian

00:21:43.130 --> 00:21:50.029
yet not yet no no no any thoughts on becoming

00:21:50.730 --> 00:21:53.230
Vegetarian, your Buddhist friends already talked

00:21:53.230 --> 00:21:58.049
to you about that, I assume, right? I actually

00:21:58.049 --> 00:22:01.549
haven't heard that yet, surprisingly. No? No.

00:22:01.769 --> 00:22:07.710
Oh, okay. And thoughts on drugs now. And alcohol.

00:22:09.390 --> 00:22:12.289
Alcohol completely off the table. I think alcohol

00:22:12.289 --> 00:22:17.619
is just straight up useless. weed though is an

00:22:17.619 --> 00:22:20.059
interesting one i haven't i haven't smoked any

00:22:20.059 --> 00:22:24.579
weed since being insane just because it's you're

00:22:24.579 --> 00:22:27.380
not supposed to but also it's i don't know i

00:22:27.380 --> 00:22:30.880
don't think it's a very productive drug but i

00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.500
have heard i heard something very interesting

00:22:33.500 --> 00:22:36.200
recently about weed which is there's there's

00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:38.920
like lots of patterns to the way the world works

00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:41.319
and usually we're like focused in on one pattern

00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:43.640
and for us it's like how our workflow is working

00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:47.680
or whatever But apparently what weed does is

00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:50.759
it takes down the filters that prevent you from

00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:52.700
seeing the other patterns to the world, so a

00:22:52.700 --> 00:22:54.359
bunch of things you didn't notice before will

00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:57.119
jump out at you. It's kind of like a drug of

00:22:57.119 --> 00:22:59.740
generalism, which I think is really interesting,

00:22:59.900 --> 00:23:02.700
and maybe not totally useless. I mean, sometimes

00:23:02.700 --> 00:23:08.039
it's great to notice some patterns to the world

00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:11.869
that you didn't see before, but also... I don't

00:23:11.869 --> 00:23:14.069
know. Weed has its side effects. Like if you're

00:23:14.069 --> 00:23:16.650
just absorbing every pattern around you constantly,

00:23:16.710 --> 00:23:19.809
I think it's hard to really remember all of that

00:23:19.809 --> 00:23:22.630
at once. And I think that's what the memory effect

00:23:22.630 --> 00:23:26.109
is. I don't know. This is like stoner pseudoscience.

00:23:26.329 --> 00:23:30.009
Who told you about this science? Was it a pothead

00:23:30.009 --> 00:23:37.829
or not? No, it was my dad. Okay. Okay. Okay.

00:23:38.700 --> 00:23:41.240
I noticed in one of your videos that you had

00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:45.240
some, what are those called, where you put the

00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:48.380
cables in? What is that called? Like a synthesizer,

00:23:48.460 --> 00:23:51.779
right? An analog one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What

00:23:51.779 --> 00:23:56.440
is that? Is that your father's? Yeah. What is

00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:00.140
he up to? Like, what does he do? Like, why does

00:24:00.140 --> 00:24:03.859
he have that? Is he, what's this DJ called? The

00:24:03.859 --> 00:24:07.900
one that wears like a mouse mask? Never mind.

00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:13.220
Whatever. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He he used to be really

00:24:13.220 --> 00:24:16.539
big into analog since. And now I think he's like

00:24:16.539 --> 00:24:19.240
a professor. So he has a lot of his plate research

00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:21.880
wise. He's like an ancient Greek professor. I

00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:23.839
have really like weird parents. That's why it

00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:30.079
turned out the way I did. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, he's

00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:34.119
a cool guy. What is that? Yeah. Did you see?

00:24:34.220 --> 00:24:38.480
Do you hear something here? There's like a moth,

00:24:38.500 --> 00:24:42.559
I think, flying around in here. What the hell?

00:24:42.700 --> 00:24:47.420
Or is it a bat? I don't know. Let me know if

00:24:47.420 --> 00:24:48.980
you see something. Your setup got a lot fancier

00:24:48.980 --> 00:24:51.339
from last time. You got some nice lights there.

00:24:51.539 --> 00:24:53.880
Oh, yeah. I have my lighting there in the back.

00:24:54.059 --> 00:24:56.779
I have a lot of stuff going on. Let me show you

00:24:56.779 --> 00:24:59.440
the phone setup. Where's my camera? Here's my

00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:02.559
camera. Now you can just see the desk there.

00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:10.869
I don't know. Do you hear that? I don't know

00:25:10.869 --> 00:25:15.410
if that's you or me. Okay. Have you seen or have

00:25:15.410 --> 00:25:21.170
you stared a pot smoker, you know, in their soul

00:25:21.170 --> 00:25:23.710
through their eyes? Have you seen them directly

00:25:23.710 --> 00:25:26.150
in the eyes and noticed that they're kind of

00:25:26.150 --> 00:25:30.069
lost? They're kind of empty. People that smoke

00:25:30.069 --> 00:25:34.670
pot a lot, they're empty. Have you ever noticed

00:25:34.670 --> 00:25:38.029
that? You have to. Pay close attention, you know?

00:25:38.049 --> 00:25:42.130
But have you ever noticed that or no? Have you

00:25:42.130 --> 00:25:46.750
ever noticed that they're not going to tell you?

00:25:46.769 --> 00:25:48.930
Because it happened to me, of course, you know?

00:25:49.230 --> 00:25:52.509
And I was a big defender of marijuana because

00:25:52.509 --> 00:25:57.630
I used to smoke a lot. But don't ask them, but

00:25:57.630 --> 00:26:02.660
just pay attention. Notice if the people that

00:26:02.660 --> 00:26:06.960
smoke weed around you are depressed. They're

00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:10.759
going to act happy, you know, and hyped and all

00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:13.960
that stuff. But you can tell. Have you ever noticed

00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:17.900
that, Benny Chance, or no? I guess a little bit,

00:26:17.980 --> 00:26:23.519
yeah. Yeah. I don't know a lot of huge stoners.

00:26:23.900 --> 00:26:26.240
But maybe I'm just not good at paying attention

00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:30.349
to it. Yeah, I don't know. Sometimes I see, especially

00:26:30.349 --> 00:26:32.950
with the other, like, modern devices we have,

00:26:33.089 --> 00:26:35.769
like, some people who will, like, smoke weed

00:26:35.769 --> 00:26:37.950
and then scroll on Instagram reels, it's, like,

00:26:38.029 --> 00:26:41.049
it's basically mind control at a certain point

00:26:41.049 --> 00:26:44.049
if you're just, like, giving people a combination

00:26:44.049 --> 00:26:46.990
of, like, the strongest weed we can bioengineer

00:26:46.990 --> 00:26:49.109
and then the most addictive, like, video feed

00:26:49.109 --> 00:26:52.029
possible. People just sit there for hours, like,

00:26:52.029 --> 00:26:54.289
not learning anything and, like, well, their

00:26:54.289 --> 00:26:58.049
neurons solidify into, like... pure exploitable

00:26:58.049 --> 00:27:00.849
pleasure circuit it's like we live in pretty

00:27:00.849 --> 00:27:03.930
dystopian times man it catches up with me like

00:27:03.930 --> 00:27:08.730
every day how um i don't know things things are

00:27:08.730 --> 00:27:11.049
getting creepy with all the ai and all the um

00:27:11.049 --> 00:27:15.769
the super addictive social media like we're almost

00:27:15.769 --> 00:27:20.450
in a surveillance state already yep yep sort

00:27:20.450 --> 00:27:28.180
of and hold on I don't know. I saw a moth. I

00:27:28.180 --> 00:27:34.359
don't know what the hell. Okay. Depression. Depression

00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:37.299
and marijuana. They are directly correlated.

00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.079
And I know this is not popular opinion. There's

00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:43.339
a lot of people that smoke weed. That's like

00:27:43.339 --> 00:27:45.660
something trendy at the moment. And a lot of

00:27:45.660 --> 00:27:47.799
people that are going to hear this are going

00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:49.960
to be the way that I was in the past and be like,

00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:53.359
what is this guy talking about? Weed? Depression?

00:27:54.140 --> 00:27:56.799
It has nothing to do with that. I can leave it

00:27:56.799 --> 00:28:00.359
whenever I want. And if you remember, in the

00:28:00.359 --> 00:28:04.859
last conversation we had, I told you, man, if

00:28:04.859 --> 00:28:07.359
you haven't tried it, don't ever try it. And

00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:10.680
I still, you know, feel the same way. Why? Because

00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:14.180
you open paths in your brain that you should

00:28:14.180 --> 00:28:17.059
open only in healthy ways through meditation,

00:28:17.420 --> 00:28:21.900
right? But with weed, you access places in your

00:28:21.900 --> 00:28:25.089
brain that you shouldn't. naturally right because

00:28:25.089 --> 00:28:28.630
it expands right and you see the world god damn

00:28:28.630 --> 00:28:31.650
it's magical and it's awesome and it's shiny

00:28:31.650 --> 00:28:35.349
and it's bright and it's beautiful right yeah

00:28:35.349 --> 00:28:39.069
and um when you don't have that anymore you look

00:28:39.069 --> 00:28:41.470
for it and i remember that's what i that that's

00:28:41.470 --> 00:28:44.109
what happened to me you know i kept going after

00:28:44.109 --> 00:28:47.930
it you know the next high I hope that this high

00:28:47.930 --> 00:28:50.210
is as good as the first high and it's never going

00:28:50.210 --> 00:28:53.210
to be as good as the first one. Right. And you're

00:28:53.210 --> 00:28:56.250
always searching for it again and again and again

00:28:56.250 --> 00:28:58.369
and again. And you lie to yourself and you say

00:28:58.369 --> 00:29:01.170
to yourself, no, I can quit whenever I want to

00:29:01.170 --> 00:29:04.970
know. It is. Yeah. It's really difficult. And

00:29:04.970 --> 00:29:09.549
when you drop and the world is pale, it's gray.

00:29:09.750 --> 00:29:14.539
It's not bright anymore. It's depressing. uh

00:29:14.539 --> 00:29:16.920
i don't know do you have any thoughts on that

00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:21.819
or no i never like smoked i don't i don't think

00:29:21.819 --> 00:29:25.640
enough weed to experience um well i i guess i

00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:30.759
get what you're saying i i feel i felt that difference

00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:35.059
before like when i was like right before i went

00:29:35.059 --> 00:29:37.579
into the psych where when i was very manic um

00:29:37.579 --> 00:29:40.380
i don't know there's like a sense the whole world

00:29:40.380 --> 00:29:43.779
kind of opens up and Like you can see all the

00:29:43.779 --> 00:29:46.500
beautiful complexity to it and you could see

00:29:46.500 --> 00:29:48.519
that you could go and understand anything you

00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:51.180
want if you just spend enough time. But then

00:29:51.180 --> 00:29:53.019
on the flip side, like as soon as that feeling

00:29:53.019 --> 00:29:55.519
is gone, it feels like everything is like kind

00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:57.359
of meaningless and it's all just like randomly

00:29:57.359 --> 00:29:59.359
put there. And you already taste it. You can't

00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:01.839
understand it. And you already taste it. That's

00:30:01.839 --> 00:30:05.779
a priority. And it's like, man, I know how that

00:30:05.779 --> 00:30:08.299
feels, you know, how that elevated, you know.

00:30:09.140 --> 00:30:13.099
Yeah. You know, being feels. And now I'm down

00:30:13.099 --> 00:30:16.720
here just like a normal person. And I don't like

00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:19.900
this. I just want to go up again. I want to feel

00:30:19.900 --> 00:30:24.460
good again. And I don't know. It did affect me

00:30:24.460 --> 00:30:28.940
pretty heavily with depression. Marijuana directly

00:30:28.940 --> 00:30:31.940
affected me. I didn't have depression before

00:30:31.940 --> 00:30:36.000
marijuana. But after doing marijuana. Daily for,

00:30:36.099 --> 00:30:39.079
I don't know, a year, you know, chronically smoking

00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:42.380
every day more than once a day for over a year.

00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:48.539
And I never had suicidal thoughts until then.

00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:53.640
So now it's it's not something that I that I

00:30:53.640 --> 00:31:01.420
recommend or that I. Yeah. I think also like

00:31:01.420 --> 00:31:05.329
our. we're both kind of a similar type of person

00:31:05.329 --> 00:31:09.069
where we're, we have like this relentless curiosity,

00:31:09.210 --> 00:31:13.650
which makes us very, very addicted, easy to get

00:31:13.650 --> 00:31:18.490
addicted to things. Exactly. Exactly. Yep. Just

00:31:18.490 --> 00:31:22.170
a few days ago, I was feeling like shit, man,

00:31:22.210 --> 00:31:25.250
to be honest with you. I was like, I talked to

00:31:25.250 --> 00:31:27.869
my wife and I told her, I always talk to her,

00:31:27.930 --> 00:31:30.390
you know, I always go to her and tell her how

00:31:30.390 --> 00:31:34.589
I feel. And I was like, what's the meaning of

00:31:34.589 --> 00:31:38.509
life? Why am I doing all this? Like, what am

00:31:38.509 --> 00:31:42.230
I going to achieve? I'm addicted to YouTube and

00:31:42.230 --> 00:31:45.849
I don't like it. I hate it. The YouTube analytics

00:31:45.849 --> 00:31:49.670
app, I uninstalled it for like the fourth time

00:31:49.670 --> 00:31:55.150
and it's uninstalled now. But I felt like...

00:31:55.720 --> 00:31:58.519
There was no way out. And I don't do drugs. I'm

00:31:58.519 --> 00:32:00.140
not telling you that I was feeling depressed

00:32:00.140 --> 00:32:02.720
or something like that. But I was like, you know,

00:32:02.740 --> 00:32:06.019
thinking, what's the point of all this, you know?

00:32:06.339 --> 00:32:11.559
And the answer was, it's just within me. I have

00:32:11.559 --> 00:32:14.440
to do work. I have to meditate. I have to control

00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:17.759
my brain. I have to do physical activity. I don't

00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:19.539
want to do it, but there's no other way around.

00:32:19.980 --> 00:32:23.779
There's shortcuts. I could smoke. Or I could

00:32:23.779 --> 00:32:27.619
eat a brownie. Or I could, you know, take some

00:32:27.619 --> 00:32:29.839
acid or something. And it's just going to relieve

00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:36.299
me momentarily, you know. But, no, no. Yeah,

00:32:36.339 --> 00:32:40.420
there are no shortcuts. No real shortcuts. They

00:32:40.420 --> 00:32:45.660
always have some trade -off to them. Yeah, yeah.

00:32:45.859 --> 00:32:50.779
We want to hack our way around. And what did

00:32:50.779 --> 00:32:53.660
your parents... Think about the first interview.

00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:57.720
Did they watch it or no? I think my dad did.

00:32:57.759 --> 00:33:00.180
He kind of watches everything I do. Oh yeah?

00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:07.119
He's stalking you? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Unless

00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:10.240
it's like really technical content. Oh no, he's

00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:14.000
not into it. Okay. And did you watch Beautiful

00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:17.640
Boy or no? You haven't watched it yet. I haven't

00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:20.380
yet. No, I haven't. I'm not a big movie watcher.

00:33:20.380 --> 00:33:25.079
My attention span is too low. Yeah, TikTok. No,

00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:28.680
I don't know. Well, that's not true. I read a

00:33:28.680 --> 00:33:33.500
lot. I'm also cheap AF. I have no streaming services.

00:33:33.759 --> 00:33:39.059
I could pirate it, but then it's sometimes choppy,

00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:41.740
so I want to pre -download it, but then I never

00:33:41.740 --> 00:33:44.680
remember to do that. uh i don't know it's too

00:33:44.680 --> 00:33:49.859
much work dude yeah i get it i get it now yeah

00:33:49.859 --> 00:34:00.619
uh something that i think a lot very often yeah

00:34:00.619 --> 00:34:03.640
something that i that i think about very often

00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:10.480
is linux and um if i should switch to linux or

00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:13.659
not is your audience mainly linux have you run

00:34:13.659 --> 00:34:16.719
a poll in your youtube channel to see what your

00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:20.699
audience uses i have yeah i think it's i think

00:34:20.699 --> 00:34:25.400
it's a good chunk linux but it doesn't really

00:34:25.400 --> 00:34:27.860
align with my goals right now i just want to

00:34:27.860 --> 00:34:31.579
finish this board game at all costs operating

00:34:31.579 --> 00:34:34.780
system switch would like i don't know i think

00:34:34.780 --> 00:34:40.409
it is cool though uh -huh but Honestly, it depends

00:34:40.409 --> 00:34:42.809
on what you want to do. If you're a network person

00:34:42.809 --> 00:34:45.590
or an OS person, it makes a lot of sense, but

00:34:45.590 --> 00:34:48.150
then some of the best programmers just use Windows.

00:34:50.710 --> 00:34:55.030
Jonathan Blow and Casey Muratori, both are just

00:34:55.030 --> 00:35:00.610
on Windows. Yeah. Jonathan, because he's a game

00:35:00.610 --> 00:35:06.920
developer, right? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, my audience

00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:09.440
is mainly Linux and they keep telling me all

00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:12.880
the time that you should switch to Linux. I've

00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:16.019
been thinking about it, but I'm like, I'm not

00:35:16.019 --> 00:35:20.000
going to switch. Sorry, audience, but I don't

00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:23.699
see the point, to be honest. And I don't know

00:35:23.699 --> 00:35:26.659
what's going on because I'm a macOS user and

00:35:26.659 --> 00:35:29.420
a lot of Linux users like to come to my channel.

00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:31.480
Pretty cool people, by the way, you know, the

00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:33.840
Linux community, at least on the YouTube side.

00:35:34.380 --> 00:35:37.079
Pretty cool, all of them. They like coming to

00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:39.940
my channel. We talk about Linux and all that

00:35:39.940 --> 00:35:43.019
stuff. And I'm trying to gather information.

00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:46.039
And I ask them, okay, so which one should I choose?

00:35:46.179 --> 00:35:48.460
Should I go to Debian? Should I go to Arch? Which

00:35:48.460 --> 00:35:51.300
window manager should I use? And I have way too

00:35:51.300 --> 00:35:54.360
many options. And then I watch other videos.

00:35:54.500 --> 00:35:57.679
There's a guy that is going to switch away from

00:35:57.679 --> 00:36:00.340
Arch today. I was watching the video earlier

00:36:00.340 --> 00:36:05.599
today. And he's going back to... Mac or Windows?

00:36:05.699 --> 00:36:07.880
I think he's going to go Mac. If he was on Linux,

00:36:07.980 --> 00:36:10.539
it doesn't make sense to go back to Windows because

00:36:10.539 --> 00:36:16.940
you're used to Unix, right? But I don't know,

00:36:16.940 --> 00:36:19.800
man. I don't know. I have thought about it, but

00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:22.619
I do video a lot. All of this is done in the

00:36:22.619 --> 00:36:24.699
Mac, you know, and I use the phone a lot as well,

00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:28.840
connected to the Mac. Yeah, that's a great point.

00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:31.300
I forgot about that. For video production, Mac

00:36:31.300 --> 00:36:36.739
is really... Heart to beat. Yeah. And it sounds

00:36:36.739 --> 00:36:40.099
cliche and it sounds like these two guys, what

00:36:40.099 --> 00:36:43.599
are they talking about? But, you know, OBS works

00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:48.519
flawlessly. I have never had issues in OBS, not

00:36:48.519 --> 00:36:50.659
even once in one of the videos that are recorded.

00:36:50.739 --> 00:36:53.719
And I have like, I don't know, over 200 videos.

00:36:54.460 --> 00:36:58.340
DaVinci, I have never had a single issue in DaVinci.

00:36:58.400 --> 00:37:02.889
It has always worked right. Audio. Never had

00:37:02.889 --> 00:37:05.590
any issues. Camera, never had any issues. So,

00:37:05.590 --> 00:37:09.869
I don't know, man. Get Tony in the chat. Oh,

00:37:09.969 --> 00:37:12.369
we have Tony in the chat. We also have a super

00:37:12.369 --> 00:37:17.210
chat. Hold on. Let me see. What are these guys

00:37:17.210 --> 00:37:19.849
talking about? If they don't pay, I just ignore

00:37:19.849 --> 00:37:23.409
them, you know? Just VIP people, I'm going to

00:37:23.409 --> 00:37:30.570
read the comments. We have to. Yeah. Let's see.

00:37:31.150 --> 00:37:34.949
50 Cent paraphrased, depression is a luxury on

00:37:34.949 --> 00:37:38.090
first world centuries. What are your thoughts

00:37:38.090 --> 00:37:45.269
on that? Yeah, I guess if you have the money

00:37:45.269 --> 00:37:47.750
and housing and everything covered, then it's

00:37:47.750 --> 00:37:53.750
time to be depressed. Yeah, depression is a luxury

00:37:53.750 --> 00:37:56.579
in first world countries. I'm in a third world

00:37:56.579 --> 00:37:59.139
country and I was depressed, but I didn't have

00:37:59.139 --> 00:38:02.739
a lot of responsibilities back then. Yeah, I

00:38:02.739 --> 00:38:06.840
didn't have. Now I cannot afford to be depressed

00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:11.960
as SBG -X is mentioning. I cannot just. That's

00:38:11.960 --> 00:38:15.960
brutal. Yeah, I cannot smoke weed. The entire

00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:19.179
day, my daughter watching me and me not working

00:38:19.179 --> 00:38:22.039
because I used to lose a lot of works back then.

00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:25.340
You know, I was in a work for like, what, a week,

00:38:25.380 --> 00:38:28.320
a month. And I used to jump to another job. I

00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:34.199
was a complete mess. So having a family is just,

00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:38.980
yeah, I cannot afford to do that. But let's see,

00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:43.829
Tony. for a company in your country or is it

00:38:43.829 --> 00:38:47.070
like remote work somewhere else? No, it is remote

00:38:47.070 --> 00:38:50.230
work. Yeah, that's the thing, you know, university

00:38:50.230 --> 00:38:54.389
could be useful if I would work for a company

00:38:54.389 --> 00:38:57.469
in my country. But I don't like that, you know,

00:38:57.469 --> 00:38:59.929
because the salary is not good. If I work for

00:38:59.929 --> 00:39:02.389
a company here, all of the other people that

00:39:02.389 --> 00:39:05.030
studied with me, they work for local companies

00:39:05.030 --> 00:39:09.449
and they need, you know, the degree. Because

00:39:09.449 --> 00:39:13.570
it's going to help them in their jobs. But the

00:39:13.570 --> 00:39:17.650
salary is not good. So I have always worked for

00:39:17.650 --> 00:39:23.030
companies in the U .S. So right now I work for

00:39:23.030 --> 00:39:27.110
a company in the U .S. as a contractor. So if

00:39:27.110 --> 00:39:34.429
the U .S. economy goes to the shit with Trump

00:39:34.429 --> 00:39:38.349
and all that, If he puts in a law and he does

00:39:38.349 --> 00:39:41.269
not allow, you know, external workers or something

00:39:41.269 --> 00:39:44.889
like that, I would have to find a local job.

00:39:45.050 --> 00:39:47.989
But that's where the university degree would

00:39:47.989 --> 00:39:50.929
come in handy. My experience, of course. But

00:39:50.929 --> 00:39:55.130
yeah, I don't work for a local company. Not a

00:39:55.130 --> 00:40:00.789
good option here. Not at all. What's the political

00:40:00.789 --> 00:40:06.889
situation like? Here? Yeah. What do you mean?

00:40:08.429 --> 00:40:11.690
In the US right now, it's pretty laughably bad.

00:40:11.829 --> 00:40:17.250
Is it comparable? Oh, in my country? The president,

00:40:17.469 --> 00:40:22.610
if it's doing stupid shit like that, is that

00:40:22.610 --> 00:40:26.610
what you're asking? Is the president as funny?

00:40:26.809 --> 00:40:31.230
Is he also trying to start a civil war? Nah,

00:40:31.369 --> 00:40:34.050
he's just trying to steal. Here, they just steal.

00:40:34.150 --> 00:40:36.750
It's four years that they are in the power, right?

00:40:36.829 --> 00:40:38.949
And then they switch. So they just come, they

00:40:38.949 --> 00:40:42.369
steal, and they disappear. Another one comes

00:40:42.369 --> 00:40:45.730
in, promises a lot of shit, does the same thing,

00:40:45.869 --> 00:40:48.510
and the cycle starts over and over. But they

00:40:48.510 --> 00:40:53.730
just don't affect. They don't do anything good.

00:40:53.769 --> 00:40:57.429
They just steal. So, nah. I don't care about

00:40:57.429 --> 00:41:00.369
politics here, my country at all. I don't care

00:41:00.369 --> 00:41:02.849
about politics at all, to be honest. What about

00:41:02.849 --> 00:41:07.650
you? Probably the wise choice. Yeah, I try not

00:41:07.650 --> 00:41:12.429
to either. It's just like. Yeah, I honestly think

00:41:12.429 --> 00:41:15.389
the American branch of politics just exists to

00:41:15.389 --> 00:41:17.969
like enrage people. I don't even think it's like

00:41:17.969 --> 00:41:21.329
particularly relevant. I think like the real

00:41:21.329 --> 00:41:23.670
power struggle is going on behind the scenes.

00:41:23.670 --> 00:41:25.469
Yeah. Those people don't actually like to be

00:41:25.469 --> 00:41:29.590
seen. Yeah. Do you think it is a democracy? Do

00:41:29.590 --> 00:41:32.889
you think you actually choose your leaders? No.

00:41:33.010 --> 00:41:36.530
No, right? It's just something symbolic, right?

00:41:36.630 --> 00:41:43.809
But, yeah. You gotta hope. But, yeah. But you're

00:41:43.809 --> 00:41:46.409
giving the illusion that it's a democracy and

00:41:46.409 --> 00:41:48.190
that you can choose your leaders, but... You

00:41:48.190 --> 00:41:50.409
know, it's not, you know, smart people know that

00:41:50.409 --> 00:41:52.449
it's not and it's not going to make a difference.

00:41:53.289 --> 00:41:56.449
So I just don't get involved with that at all.

00:41:56.730 --> 00:42:01.929
So. Yeah, it's basically I would say it's not

00:42:01.929 --> 00:42:04.550
a democracy until they make it so bad that people

00:42:04.550 --> 00:42:10.690
like riot. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. I do think

00:42:10.690 --> 00:42:12.730
you're kind of wise to not really be involved.

00:42:12.909 --> 00:42:15.710
It's such a it's such a mess. It's just like

00:42:15.710 --> 00:42:20.449
power. power play beyond your comprehensions

00:42:20.449 --> 00:42:23.130
and it just knows what the people behind the

00:42:23.130 --> 00:42:26.409
scenes are doing and it just creates more division

00:42:26.409 --> 00:42:31.730
right left right and we're opposites and we fight

00:42:31.730 --> 00:42:36.030
each other and nah man it's like religion is

00:42:36.030 --> 00:42:37.889
the same thing as religion and it's the same

00:42:37.889 --> 00:42:40.929
thing as soccer here in my country you know soccer

00:42:40.929 --> 00:42:44.460
just there's a lot of fans of soccer So you take

00:42:44.460 --> 00:42:47.920
sides. It's the same as Linux or Mac OS, you

00:42:47.920 --> 00:42:50.219
know, and we have to fight each other, man. Just

00:42:50.219 --> 00:42:54.179
we have another super chat here. Let's see. Yeah.

00:42:55.500 --> 00:42:59.539
Again, SBGX, stay in the stable OS that you're

00:42:59.539 --> 00:43:02.260
comfortable with. I'm happy you agree with the

00:43:02.260 --> 00:43:05.840
50 cent quote. Appreciate the super chat, man.

00:43:10.820 --> 00:43:17.099
Yeah. So. That's on Linux then. That's on Linux.

00:43:17.199 --> 00:43:20.280
You don't see it as a viable option as of now?

00:43:21.579 --> 00:43:24.500
I see it as a viable option, I think. But are

00:43:24.500 --> 00:43:26.500
you going to do it out of pressure? Because your

00:43:26.500 --> 00:43:29.199
audience is telling you or are you like, no,

00:43:29.300 --> 00:43:34.500
I really... Do you feel like a corporate Apple

00:43:34.500 --> 00:43:40.690
rat using Mac OS? Do you feel dirty? Do you feel

00:43:40.690 --> 00:43:43.150
like you should switch to something open source

00:43:43.150 --> 00:43:48.829
and that belongs to the people? I feel like that

00:43:48.829 --> 00:43:53.289
more and more as I'm surrounded by all these

00:43:53.289 --> 00:43:56.969
people who are very pro privacy and stuff. But

00:43:56.969 --> 00:44:03.869
honestly, I don't know. You know, the story with

00:44:03.869 --> 00:44:06.590
Apple is like you can directly see that it's

00:44:06.590 --> 00:44:12.250
spyware. Steve Wozniak worked at a company. I

00:44:12.250 --> 00:44:15.570
forget the name of it, but it was a military

00:44:15.570 --> 00:44:18.050
company. It was completely funded by the U .S.

00:44:18.050 --> 00:44:23.510
military. He came up with the idea for the personal

00:44:23.510 --> 00:44:26.329
computer, and he actually offered that company

00:44:26.329 --> 00:44:28.750
the rights to it, but they turned it down. They

00:44:28.750 --> 00:44:31.469
said, no, go do this thing yourself. Go make

00:44:31.469 --> 00:44:34.150
this piece of software yourself. It's a little

00:44:34.150 --> 00:44:36.730
bit suspicious. Why would the U .S. military

00:44:36.730 --> 00:44:41.670
not claim... responsibility for the production

00:44:41.670 --> 00:44:46.429
of such a huge commercial success, but I think

00:44:46.429 --> 00:44:50.170
it's kind of because they wanted to put their

00:44:50.170 --> 00:44:52.349
spyware in it, which is a little bit conspiracy

00:44:52.349 --> 00:44:56.010
theory, but I don't know. If the military was

00:44:56.010 --> 00:44:58.349
like, here, guys, try all our computers, people

00:44:58.349 --> 00:45:01.309
would be suspicious, but no, look, it's these

00:45:01.309 --> 00:45:05.469
other visionary artist Apple people, not the

00:45:05.469 --> 00:45:11.460
US military. Honestly, dude, I'm a YouTuber.

00:45:11.619 --> 00:45:18.340
My privacy is gone. Who cares? But I agree with

00:45:18.340 --> 00:45:24.019
a lot of the philosophy of Linux, to be honest.

00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:27.539
But it's like someone telling me I should switch

00:45:27.539 --> 00:45:31.460
to physics. It's like, yeah, that's a great field

00:45:31.460 --> 00:45:33.920
to study. They're brilliant physicists, but that's

00:45:33.920 --> 00:45:36.480
just not what I'm doing at the moment. Maybe

00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:38.460
I'll study physics one day. Maybe it would be

00:45:38.460 --> 00:45:40.400
cool to know that stuff, but it's just going

00:45:40.400 --> 00:45:43.340
to take a bunch of time. That is a pretty good

00:45:43.340 --> 00:45:46.559
analogy. And that's exactly the same way that

00:45:46.559 --> 00:45:49.420
I feel because it has taken me so long to set

00:45:49.420 --> 00:45:54.119
this up. And I'm like, God damn, I don't want

00:45:54.119 --> 00:45:56.619
to do it at this point because I know myself

00:45:56.619 --> 00:45:58.719
and I know that it's not just going to be like,

00:45:58.800 --> 00:46:03.500
yeah, but the USB stick in install, whatever

00:46:03.500 --> 00:46:09.400
this show. Call it a day. No. Roller coaster

00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:12.539
is going to start at that point. And I will spend,

00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:15.079
I don't know, like two, three, four, six months

00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:19.599
setting it up. And I'm like, I don't want to

00:46:19.599 --> 00:46:22.500
do it. But I use it on servers, though. You know,

00:46:22.500 --> 00:46:24.739
all of my servers, of course. What other option

00:46:24.739 --> 00:46:27.039
do you have? You know, Linux is the only. Well,

00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:30.619
you have Windows servers, but you would be. Freaking

00:46:30.619 --> 00:46:33.659
crazy. If you would use Windows servers, it makes

00:46:33.659 --> 00:46:38.440
no sense. But at companies, they do. The company

00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:41.940
that I work for, all of the servers are Windows.

00:46:42.260 --> 00:46:45.480
So you still have to know it. But I don't know.

00:46:45.519 --> 00:46:50.300
I don't feel like switching to Linux at this

00:46:50.300 --> 00:46:53.900
point. Let's see. We have another chat here by

00:46:53.900 --> 00:46:58.599
Tony. Tony says... Individuals that run the country

00:46:58.599 --> 00:47:02.880
are all available on OpenSecrets. None of them

00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:11.320
use Linux. What's OpenSecrets? Yeah, Tony, what's

00:47:11.320 --> 00:47:20.059
OpenSecrets? Is it just me or do all the Linux

00:47:20.059 --> 00:47:24.190
users secretly know who runs everything? They

00:47:24.190 --> 00:47:27.289
all seem to be inside the power politics world.

00:47:28.389 --> 00:47:33.630
Yeah. They like conspiracy theories. They like

00:47:33.630 --> 00:47:38.070
to hack. They like to figure stuff out. Google

00:47:38.070 --> 00:47:42.789
Open Secrets. I can type URLs in here. EN says

00:47:42.789 --> 00:47:45.989
here, or just use both Mac and Linux. I use Mac

00:47:45.989 --> 00:47:49.369
for work. My company gives me a Mac and I use

00:47:49.369 --> 00:47:55.690
Linux on my personal PC. Ah, too much work for

00:47:55.690 --> 00:48:00.269
me, man. Open Secrets. Let me see what Open Secrets

00:48:00.269 --> 00:48:12.369
is. Open Secrets. The nation's premier research

00:48:12.369 --> 00:48:16.650
and government. Man, Tony is just going to get

00:48:16.650 --> 00:48:21.539
me in trouble, I think. What is this? This, Tony,

00:48:21.699 --> 00:48:24.360
is this what you were talking about? Buy custom

00:48:24.360 --> 00:48:28.039
data? What is this, man? You just assassinated

00:48:28.039 --> 00:48:35.920
Tony. Now I'm going to be, you know, searched.

00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:39.460
I think I'm already on the CIA watch list. Yeah?

00:48:39.719 --> 00:48:44.559
They already suspect something. Maybe I'm just

00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:47.900
turning into Terry Davis for the day. Yeah, man.

00:48:48.239 --> 00:48:56.429
Yeah. yeah but i kind of think you're right it's

00:48:56.429 --> 00:48:58.510
like why why even worry about it yeah there's

00:48:58.510 --> 00:49:01.090
like 10 people that pull the strings behind everything

00:49:01.090 --> 00:49:04.349
and yeah they're probably super evil but whatever

00:49:04.349 --> 00:49:08.469
man like i can enjoy my vim config not really

00:49:08.469 --> 00:49:13.090
hurting anyone yeah i don't know we'll maybe

00:49:13.090 --> 00:49:18.079
end up in like a surveillance ai leave state

00:49:18.079 --> 00:49:22.059
pretty soon but i don't know as long as i can

00:49:22.059 --> 00:49:26.920
still use vim it'll be chill yeah what can you

00:49:26.920 --> 00:49:32.159
do about it anyway right unless everyone organizes

00:49:32.159 --> 00:49:34.480
and starts you know a revolution or something

00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:38.199
but i don't even think that would make any difference

00:49:38.199 --> 00:49:42.480
but i just live my life and i just try to do

00:49:42.480 --> 00:49:45.639
the best i can and that's That's as far as I

00:49:45.639 --> 00:49:48.440
go. I don't involve myself in politics at all.

00:49:50.280 --> 00:49:53.860
Yeah. I just, I don't involve myself in politics

00:49:53.860 --> 00:49:57.659
until it becomes like a global catastrophe. Like

00:49:57.659 --> 00:50:00.539
do you, I'm not like a doomsday prep or anything,

00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:03.579
but things these days seem pretty unstable. Like

00:50:03.579 --> 00:50:10.900
the, um, like arch worse than arch. Uh -huh.

00:50:12.420 --> 00:50:17.070
Uh -huh. Go on. I don't know, like, it could

00:50:17.070 --> 00:50:19.590
just all be, like, agitprop, but the way I look

00:50:19.590 --> 00:50:22.409
at it is, like, the U .S., someone is seriously

00:50:22.409 --> 00:50:25.849
trying to destabilize things, because we've got

00:50:25.849 --> 00:50:29.110
two different sides. Like, one is really educated,

00:50:29.150 --> 00:50:31.969
and one is, like, just complete idiots, but the

00:50:31.969 --> 00:50:34.409
idiots have been, like, manipulated into hating

00:50:34.409 --> 00:50:36.349
the educated people, and the educated people

00:50:36.349 --> 00:50:41.329
just can't reach. Well, that's a huge generalization,

00:50:41.329 --> 00:50:43.230
but the left and right, they're trying to make

00:50:43.230 --> 00:50:45.170
everyone fight against each other. They're squeezing

00:50:45.170 --> 00:50:48.349
the economy like so hard that people can't afford

00:50:48.349 --> 00:50:51.969
food. And it's like, it seems like, it seems

00:50:51.969 --> 00:50:54.269
like a pretty bad situation. I don't know. I

00:50:54.269 --> 00:50:56.449
don't know how long it'll be able to go on like

00:50:56.449 --> 00:50:59.130
this. Yeah. President is straight up demented.

00:51:00.250 --> 00:51:04.050
Oh yeah. Oh yeah. You have a point there. I don't

00:51:04.050 --> 00:51:07.190
know. I don't know what's going to happen in

00:51:07.190 --> 00:51:10.530
the future. I posted a question. I started a

00:51:10.530 --> 00:51:14.909
poll right now for chat. All you have to do chat

00:51:14.909 --> 00:51:19.170
to vote is type the number one or two, and that

00:51:19.170 --> 00:51:22.090
is going to send the vote. Would you still follow

00:51:22.090 --> 00:51:24.789
Vimati if he goes bald? What are you going to

00:51:24.789 --> 00:51:26.710
do, Vimati? Are you going to shave your head

00:51:26.710 --> 00:51:29.570
off? Or what are you going to do if you go bald?

00:51:31.590 --> 00:51:35.579
I was thinking about it, but I don't know. I'd

00:51:35.579 --> 00:51:38.820
rather switch to Emacs, I think. You think your

00:51:38.820 --> 00:51:42.960
audience is still going to follow you? I think

00:51:42.960 --> 00:51:44.760
so, yeah. It's just unfortunate that the nickname

00:51:44.760 --> 00:51:50.159
doesn't work very well with Emacs. Huh? Oh, man.

00:51:50.380 --> 00:51:54.380
And you're close to, what, 40 ,000 subscribers

00:51:54.380 --> 00:52:04.949
right now, right? Let's see. 40 ,000 subs. Where's

00:52:04.949 --> 00:52:07.269
your channel going? What are you going to do?

00:52:07.309 --> 00:52:10.429
What are you going to do for the 40 ,000 sub

00:52:10.429 --> 00:52:16.650
mark? I don't know. I said I was going to switch

00:52:16.650 --> 00:52:19.889
to Emacs. I might. You can look at my polls,

00:52:20.090 --> 00:52:26.210
my posts. I think there's one. We'll see what

00:52:26.210 --> 00:52:32.170
people voted on. Switch to Emacs? Oh, I'm not

00:52:32.170 --> 00:52:39.829
signed in here. You don't get to see. Okay. So,

00:52:39.829 --> 00:52:45.150
but are you going to switch to it for reels or

00:52:45.150 --> 00:52:47.550
just to test it out and then go back to any of

00:52:47.550 --> 00:52:51.730
them? I don't know. There's a lot of people in

00:52:51.730 --> 00:52:54.210
my community that use Emacs. Emacs maybe is like

00:52:54.210 --> 00:52:59.280
the more serious. It's tough to say. Emacs is

00:52:59.280 --> 00:53:02.699
like its own operating system, honestly. That's

00:53:02.699 --> 00:53:05.940
what I've heard. It would be a big time investment,

00:53:06.139 --> 00:53:09.039
but it could be worth it in the long run. I know

00:53:09.039 --> 00:53:11.539
some serious Vim people over the years have switched

00:53:11.539 --> 00:53:15.860
to Emacs. It seems like a lot of the really serious

00:53:15.860 --> 00:53:20.619
programmers use Emacs. Might have to do it. I

00:53:20.619 --> 00:53:24.099
have thought about it. I had an interview with

00:53:24.099 --> 00:53:29.780
Prat. He showed around his org agenda and how

00:53:29.780 --> 00:53:33.019
he uses the calendar and how he organizes his

00:53:33.019 --> 00:53:39.159
tasks. And it's extremely useful. It seems, well,

00:53:39.420 --> 00:53:42.500
yeah, it seems wonderful. Like if you want to

00:53:42.500 --> 00:53:48.559
keep your daily notes, schedule your day, send

00:53:48.559 --> 00:53:53.849
emails, receive emails from Emacs. Everything

00:53:53.849 --> 00:53:57.230
that needs organization and that helps you, you

00:53:57.230 --> 00:53:59.630
know, with that specifically, you know, organizing

00:53:59.630 --> 00:54:04.170
your life seems like a big win in Emacs. And

00:54:04.170 --> 00:54:07.369
I have thought about that as well. Using it specifically

00:54:07.369 --> 00:54:11.170
for that, you know, the org agenda and I don't

00:54:11.170 --> 00:54:14.030
know what the other stuff is called. But yeah,

00:54:14.170 --> 00:54:17.449
it's a huge time investment, as you said. But

00:54:17.449 --> 00:54:20.829
yeah, it seems like a great tool. But I don't

00:54:20.829 --> 00:54:24.429
know. Would you? be using both of them emacs

00:54:24.429 --> 00:54:30.849
any of them or staying on emacs only it's a good

00:54:30.849 --> 00:54:33.949
question i'm honestly not sure probably only

00:54:33.949 --> 00:54:36.170
emacs i don't actually know how like the code

00:54:36.170 --> 00:54:39.210
editing side of emacs works though i think there's

00:54:39.210 --> 00:54:43.889
like evil mode which gives you vim bindings but

00:54:43.889 --> 00:54:47.929
yeah i don't know and i think the emacs like

00:54:48.440 --> 00:54:51.300
configuration language is better than Lua. Like

00:54:51.300 --> 00:54:55.039
Emacs Lisp I hear is a better experience. Yeah.

00:54:55.440 --> 00:54:58.960
Everyone that talks about Lisp, they love it.

00:54:59.019 --> 00:55:03.420
Even Gregory Anders, which is a NeoVim maintainer,

00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:06.119
I had an interview with him and his NeoVim configuration

00:55:06.119 --> 00:55:09.340
is done in Lisp. He uses, what is that thing

00:55:09.340 --> 00:55:16.519
called that he uses? Uses... I don't remember.

00:55:16.760 --> 00:55:21.019
But he configures his NeoVim in Lisp. And then

00:55:21.019 --> 00:55:24.820
it's translated into Lua, I think. Fennel. Yeah,

00:55:24.900 --> 00:55:28.159
Fennel. That's what he uses. Yep. And he's like

00:55:28.159 --> 00:55:33.820
a huge NeoVim advocate, maintainer, and all that

00:55:33.820 --> 00:55:39.139
stuff. So everyone that uses Lisp seem to love

00:55:39.139 --> 00:55:42.380
it. I have no idea. I have never used it. So

00:55:42.380 --> 00:55:53.010
maybe it's just awesome. Yeah. Do you do a lot

00:55:53.010 --> 00:55:55.309
of programming in your configuration or do you

00:55:55.309 --> 00:56:01.050
use Lua more for scripting? I don't do programming,

00:56:01.110 --> 00:56:04.849
so Emacs would be ideal for me, I think. I mainly

00:56:04.849 --> 00:56:08.409
do writing. I write more. I take notes and I

00:56:08.409 --> 00:56:13.190
write more. Yeah. Configuration, just my Mac

00:56:13.190 --> 00:56:17.190
config, my NeoVM config, Mac config, like .files

00:56:17.190 --> 00:56:20.550
related or tools related. That's basically it.

00:56:21.130 --> 00:56:26.489
Yeah. This other guy that is a writer, Dina,

00:56:26.730 --> 00:56:29.670
I had an interview with him as well. He was a

00:56:29.670 --> 00:56:33.849
huge NeoVM user. He completely switched from

00:56:33.849 --> 00:56:38.219
NeoVM. to emacs and he was a knee of him con

00:56:38.219 --> 00:56:41.699
you know he he did like three conferences and

00:56:41.699 --> 00:56:45.900
new of him um in the past years yeah he switched

00:56:45.900 --> 00:56:48.460
to emacs and he's a writer and he wrote his book

00:56:48.460 --> 00:56:52.920
in emacs and he's in love with org mode and uh

00:56:52.920 --> 00:56:58.980
i don't know probably you could use both right

00:56:58.980 --> 00:57:06.230
emacs for organizing your life emails browsing

00:57:06.230 --> 00:57:11.690
even probably in any of them if you need to do

00:57:11.690 --> 00:57:14.809
something else programming right if you're well

00:57:14.809 --> 00:57:17.070
you're a developer you're on your way to becoming

00:57:17.070 --> 00:57:21.570
one so maybe using both of them not sure yeah

00:57:21.570 --> 00:57:25.389
yeah I'm not either I think I have to kind of

00:57:25.389 --> 00:57:27.650
check it out at some point it just seems like

00:57:27.650 --> 00:57:34.239
the logical progression yeah but there's way

00:57:34.239 --> 00:57:37.780
too many options like for example prod he told

00:57:37.780 --> 00:57:43.219
me use vanilla emacs use it the way that it was

00:57:43.219 --> 00:57:47.340
intended to be used so that means using the control

00:57:47.340 --> 00:57:49.800
key a lot right so have you seen that they do

00:57:49.800 --> 00:57:54.320
control c control e and then that's vanilla emacs

00:57:54.320 --> 00:57:56.920
right you use the control key a lot there's other

00:57:56.920 --> 00:58:00.780
people that say so if you're an eofm user go

00:58:00.780 --> 00:58:04.159
evil mode it's gonna make it easier for you.

00:58:04.239 --> 00:58:07.320
There's even configurations or setups specifically

00:58:07.320 --> 00:58:12.780
designed for NeoVim users to switch from NeoVim

00:58:12.780 --> 00:58:17.880
to Emacs. So the question is, which one should

00:58:17.880 --> 00:58:21.280
you choose, right? Should you go vanilla and

00:58:21.280 --> 00:58:24.840
learn it the right way, or should you go evil

00:58:24.840 --> 00:58:30.960
mode since we're NeoVim users? I'm honestly not

00:58:30.960 --> 00:58:34.820
sure. Maybe I should talk to one of the Emacs

00:58:34.820 --> 00:58:38.320
experts and see. But I don't know. It seems like

00:58:38.320 --> 00:58:39.860
there are a lot of experts who say different

00:58:39.860 --> 00:58:43.300
things. So maybe I should just follow my heart.

00:58:43.380 --> 00:58:45.920
And I don't know. Maybe I'll just read the entire

00:58:45.920 --> 00:58:50.320
manual. See what it says. Yeah, because Prat

00:58:50.320 --> 00:58:53.280
says one thing and he's an expert. He's an Emacs

00:58:53.280 --> 00:58:56.019
maintainer. There's this other guy that uses

00:58:56.019 --> 00:58:59.619
Emacs. What's his name? I have to interview him.

00:58:59.659 --> 00:59:01.199
I already talked to him and we're going to do

00:59:01.199 --> 00:59:04.119
an interview. What's his name? What's his name,

00:59:04.159 --> 00:59:07.099
Chad? There's another Emacs guy that does live

00:59:07.099 --> 00:59:09.900
streams on Fridays. He does live streams every

00:59:09.900 --> 00:59:13.280
Friday. I don't know what he recommends. I'll

00:59:13.280 --> 00:59:16.119
ask him, you know, I'll ask him and see what

00:59:16.119 --> 00:59:19.139
he recommends for someone that is just starting

00:59:19.139 --> 00:59:23.119
out. But it's just the same thing as with Linux.

00:59:23.260 --> 00:59:26.199
The same thing that happens with Neovim, right?

00:59:26.300 --> 00:59:29.179
What do you recommend for someone starting out

00:59:29.179 --> 00:59:31.750
with Neovim? You personally, what would you tell

00:59:31.750 --> 00:59:34.349
them? Would you tell them to use LazyVim? Would

00:59:34.349 --> 00:59:36.510
you tell them to build their own config? Would

00:59:36.510 --> 00:59:39.349
you tell them to use Kickstart? Same problem.

00:59:39.510 --> 00:59:42.889
And a lot of options, a lot of opinions. What

00:59:42.889 --> 00:59:47.730
do you do as a beginner? Yeah, I don't even really

00:59:47.730 --> 00:59:50.469
know, to be honest. I used to be opinionated.

00:59:50.510 --> 00:59:53.050
I used to be like, oh, you have to do minimal

00:59:53.050 --> 00:59:56.960
configuration, only 50 lines. But then I've seen

00:59:56.960 --> 00:59:59.400
some great maximalist configurations. I've seen

00:59:59.400 --> 01:00:02.739
some people using remade distros very effectively.

01:00:03.239 --> 01:00:06.219
I honestly, I don't know, man. I'm getting to

01:00:06.219 --> 01:00:08.300
the stage in my developer career where I want

01:00:08.300 --> 01:00:14.800
to be a farmer. It's also complicated. There's

01:00:14.800 --> 01:00:19.039
so many ways to do everything. You're going to

01:00:19.039 --> 01:00:21.920
speed around the developer part and just skip

01:00:21.920 --> 01:00:25.280
right into farming, right? Oh, yeah. I'm already

01:00:25.280 --> 01:00:28.539
like big on, big on. I'm going to get into Orthodox

01:00:28.539 --> 01:00:31.579
Christianity and conspiracy theories next, I

01:00:31.579 --> 01:00:38.519
think. Okay. It seems to be the logical way to

01:00:38.519 --> 01:00:42.139
do things. Yeah. We all go through different

01:00:42.139 --> 01:00:46.000
phases, man. Alcohol, you mentioned that it's

01:00:46.000 --> 01:00:49.239
out of question. What made you realize that?

01:00:49.579 --> 01:00:53.789
Or what made you change your mind about? alcohol

01:00:53.789 --> 01:00:57.050
no it's it's just like lame like weed at least

01:00:57.050 --> 01:01:00.170
like at least you get to like think about things

01:01:00.170 --> 01:01:02.409
more deeply alcohol is just like i'm i'm now

01:01:02.409 --> 01:01:07.510
like dumb and i'm like i don't know it's just

01:01:07.510 --> 01:01:10.610
like poison that makes you dumber it is poison

01:01:10.610 --> 01:01:17.510
it gets you intoxicated yeah yeah i don't weed

01:01:17.510 --> 01:01:20.650
at least like has it has way more appeal to me

01:01:20.650 --> 01:01:23.389
because it's like It's interesting the way that

01:01:23.389 --> 01:01:28.170
your thoughts... It makes me feel not smarter,

01:01:28.329 --> 01:01:30.769
but I'm thinking outside the box a little bit,

01:01:30.849 --> 01:01:34.869
whereas alcohol, I'm just not thinking well.

01:01:35.570 --> 01:01:41.070
Everything is blurred. But it's so good. It just

01:01:41.070 --> 01:01:46.489
feels good. You feel like Superman, right? No,

01:01:46.510 --> 01:01:49.989
not really. I just feel confused. Oh, really?

01:01:50.150 --> 01:01:52.650
But you haven't gotten, I think you haven't gotten

01:01:52.650 --> 01:01:57.110
used to it too much. Did you drink a lot or just

01:01:57.110 --> 01:02:02.489
a little bit? No. Yeah. No, I didn't. I never

01:02:02.489 --> 01:02:05.530
got super into alcohol. Oh, I did, man. And it

01:02:05.530 --> 01:02:08.710
was amazing. It was the best thing that ever

01:02:08.710 --> 01:02:13.150
happened to me. Actually, it was until it wasn't.

01:02:13.150 --> 01:02:16.750
Yeah. Until it wasn't. But when it started, man,

01:02:16.969 --> 01:02:20.760
it all feels. I remember Fridays, you know, because

01:02:20.760 --> 01:02:26.059
it's like a valve, right? That just takes or

01:02:26.059 --> 01:02:29.380
that you open and all the pressure goes out,

01:02:29.599 --> 01:02:35.460
right? And you feel free, liberated. And yeah,

01:02:36.739 --> 01:02:39.280
I did it for 10 years. I drank for 10 years.

01:02:39.380 --> 01:02:43.320
Yeah. It was once a week. Then it progressed

01:02:43.320 --> 01:02:45.519
and it became, I don't know, like three times

01:02:45.519 --> 01:02:50.309
a week. Yeah, it wasn't cool at that point. I

01:02:50.309 --> 01:02:53.090
wanted to stop, but I couldn't. You know, it's

01:02:53.090 --> 01:02:55.610
really addictive. And me, my personality, like

01:02:55.610 --> 01:02:58.070
we had the conversation in the last interview.

01:02:58.150 --> 01:03:01.449
Remember I told you I'm an addictive person,

01:03:01.610 --> 01:03:04.469
you know? So if I go into studying, I will go

01:03:04.469 --> 01:03:07.349
full into studying. If I go into YouTube, I'm

01:03:07.349 --> 01:03:09.309
in the freaking YouTube phase right now. And

01:03:09.309 --> 01:03:12.329
I need to hack my way around that. I just need

01:03:12.329 --> 01:03:14.610
to get done with that shit and move on to the

01:03:14.610 --> 01:03:18.309
next one. I did study a lot in the past for networking.

01:03:18.670 --> 01:03:21.949
Man, I spent years studying for that stuff. I

01:03:21.949 --> 01:03:25.289
got a lot of certifications. And I did a lot

01:03:25.289 --> 01:03:28.449
of stuff back then. But that's the way my personality

01:03:28.449 --> 01:03:31.969
is. So I did alcohol. It was great. It was awesome.

01:03:32.929 --> 01:03:40.269
But it destroyed me. Yeah. It's dangerous. Sounds

01:03:40.269 --> 01:03:43.650
like you've had a very interesting life, I think.

01:03:44.780 --> 01:03:48.860
I don't know. The people that do YouTube tend

01:03:48.860 --> 01:03:50.820
to have very interesting lives because we'll

01:03:50.820 --> 01:03:53.940
just try random things and go very deep into

01:03:53.940 --> 01:04:00.860
them. Yeah. Pretty interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty

01:04:00.860 --> 01:04:05.440
shitty. Yeah. But you learn a lot from all that,

01:04:05.480 --> 01:04:08.099
you know? I wouldn't change it. It sounds cliche

01:04:08.099 --> 01:04:11.260
as well, and I sound like a bitch, but... That's

01:04:11.260 --> 01:04:14.659
the way it is, man. I wouldn't change any of

01:04:14.659 --> 01:04:18.139
it, right? Have you heard that? Yeah, you must

01:04:18.139 --> 01:04:22.940
have seen some very interesting things like going

01:04:22.940 --> 01:04:26.500
into diving into a substance very deeply must

01:04:26.500 --> 01:04:29.579
be an interesting experience to say the least.

01:04:29.820 --> 01:04:33.639
Yeah, it's an experiment that I had to go through

01:04:33.639 --> 01:04:39.150
to understand. I did get my PhD in alcohol and

01:04:39.150 --> 01:04:42.230
in weed, you know, and I just practiced a lot,

01:04:42.289 --> 01:04:45.889
you know, and I understand the game now. That's

01:04:45.889 --> 01:04:47.909
the way I roll, you know, that's the way I roll.

01:04:48.010 --> 01:04:51.469
And that's why I don't recommend it because I

01:04:51.469 --> 01:04:55.190
did all of that effort for you guys so that you

01:04:55.190 --> 01:04:59.550
don't fall in the same trap. Because we all fall,

01:04:59.710 --> 01:05:03.090
especially if you are addictive, man, it is pretty

01:05:03.090 --> 01:05:05.250
complicated. But you're in the right track, you

01:05:05.250 --> 01:05:07.260
know. Your addictions, what are your addictions?

01:05:07.699 --> 01:05:11.719
You want to learn to program. You want to do

01:05:11.719 --> 01:05:14.260
your game. So you're focused on good stuff. You're

01:05:14.260 --> 01:05:16.739
on the right track, man. At your age, I was already,

01:05:16.840 --> 01:05:22.539
you know, alcohol and other drugs and completely,

01:05:22.739 --> 01:05:30.679
you know, bad decisions. Yeah. Yeah. What were

01:05:30.679 --> 01:05:33.760
you doing for work during that time period? Oh,

01:05:33.760 --> 01:05:36.440
at that time, I used to work at call centers.

01:05:37.099 --> 01:05:41.519
When you call any service in the US, a lot of

01:05:41.519 --> 01:05:43.880
the call centers are here in Guatemala. Well,

01:05:43.980 --> 01:05:46.019
they're in a lot of different places in the world.

01:05:46.119 --> 01:05:48.980
You know, some of them are in India, Guatemala.

01:05:49.960 --> 01:05:54.820
Our accent is not as fucked up. Sorry, Chad.

01:05:58.670 --> 01:06:02.269
God damn, I'm going to get in trouble. But I

01:06:02.269 --> 01:06:06.809
didn't say any countries, okay? So I'm good.

01:06:06.929 --> 01:06:10.570
But I used to work in call centers. It's implied.

01:06:12.150 --> 01:06:16.309
Oh, it's implied. God damn, I didn't say anything,

01:06:16.469 --> 01:06:22.769
man. But I was in a lot of different call centers

01:06:22.769 --> 01:06:25.780
and there's a lot of them here, right? If I would

01:06:25.780 --> 01:06:28.639
lose my job, next day I could find another one

01:06:28.639 --> 01:06:31.300
because there's a lot of accounts. I worked for

01:06:31.300 --> 01:06:34.139
Time Warner Cable. I worked for Charter, which

01:06:34.139 --> 01:06:36.539
is an internet company. What else? I worked for

01:06:36.539 --> 01:06:39.159
Google because they had a Google account here

01:06:39.159 --> 01:06:43.420
in one of the call centers. That one was tougher,

01:06:43.699 --> 01:06:47.139
you know, because it was a little bit technical.

01:06:47.400 --> 01:06:51.500
Yeah, it was technical. I worked for, God damn,

01:06:51.559 --> 01:06:54.760
a lot of them. DirecTV, I used to sell. DirecTV.

01:06:55.239 --> 01:06:58.860
What else? What's the name of that internet company?

01:06:59.480 --> 01:07:03.699
Satellites. Well, it's an old satellite company.

01:07:04.059 --> 01:07:06.900
They had a service as well. But I worked in a

01:07:06.900 --> 01:07:10.480
lot of different accounts and call centers back

01:07:10.480 --> 01:07:13.739
in the day. Like for those 10 years. Yeah. So

01:07:13.739 --> 01:07:16.119
I would just jump from one to other, another,

01:07:16.239 --> 01:07:19.519
another. And it was useful. I learned a lot.

01:07:19.699 --> 01:07:24.260
But I was, you know, Dish Network. No, it's not

01:07:24.260 --> 01:07:29.079
this. Hughes, Hughes Network, Hughes. Yeah. Yeah.

01:07:29.139 --> 01:07:31.920
I don't think they exist anymore. But yeah, it

01:07:31.920 --> 01:07:36.059
was Hughes Network. And yeah, that's what I did

01:07:36.059 --> 01:07:41.039
for a long time until I got just tired of it

01:07:41.039 --> 01:07:45.519
because it's not a fun thing to do. It's pretty

01:07:45.519 --> 01:07:49.440
demanding. And customer service, man, it's painful.

01:07:49.599 --> 01:07:53.059
It's difficult because people don't. I worked

01:07:53.059 --> 01:07:56.300
for UPS as well. God damn, that was a nightmare,

01:07:56.460 --> 01:08:01.800
man. UPS, man, packages lost. People don't call

01:08:01.800 --> 01:08:05.960
happy to customer service. Yeah, I bet. They

01:08:05.960 --> 01:08:10.500
call because they're upset. Right. Yeah, I decided,

01:08:10.559 --> 01:08:13.199
no, I'm done with this shit. I got to do something.

01:08:13.380 --> 01:08:16.359
So I started with networking and that's what

01:08:16.359 --> 01:08:19.659
I focused on. That's what helped me, you know,

01:08:19.680 --> 01:08:25.319
actually. Yeah. And so you just dove really deep

01:08:25.319 --> 01:08:30.399
into studying networking? Yep, I did. I did.

01:08:30.619 --> 01:08:34.560
For quite a few years, to be honest, like four

01:08:34.560 --> 01:08:40.119
years. There's a company called Cisco. They have

01:08:40.119 --> 01:08:42.859
an operating system, which is the one that runs

01:08:42.859 --> 01:08:47.260
on their switches, firewalls, routers, right?

01:08:48.359 --> 01:08:50.960
And that's what I focused on. I got a lot of

01:08:50.960 --> 01:08:55.439
certifications from them, Juniper as well. And

01:08:55.439 --> 01:08:59.319
that's what I'm doing right now. I don't like

01:08:59.319 --> 01:09:03.000
doing that too much because I like more challenging

01:09:03.000 --> 01:09:07.500
stuff. I then moved to a networking, no, a monitoring

01:09:07.500 --> 01:09:10.319
engineer, you know, monitoring tools for companies.

01:09:10.600 --> 01:09:13.000
They need to monitor infrastructure, websites,

01:09:13.199 --> 01:09:15.579
all that stuff. That's what I used to do as well.

01:09:17.529 --> 01:09:20.170
It's tough right now. It's tough out there. Maybe

01:09:20.170 --> 01:09:22.170
for you it's not because you live in the U .S.

01:09:22.210 --> 01:09:24.810
You're young, right? You have a lot of opportunities.

01:09:24.949 --> 01:09:27.770
But for me in this specific country that I'm

01:09:27.770 --> 01:09:31.149
in, I'm in Guatemala, it's hard to find something

01:09:31.149 --> 01:09:35.109
at this point. There's a lot of unemployed people.

01:09:35.449 --> 01:09:39.489
Or is there not? How is the situation there?

01:09:40.430 --> 01:09:42.449
To me, it looks like there's a lot of unemployed

01:09:42.449 --> 01:09:46.810
people. And honestly, I know a lot of the elite.

01:09:47.439 --> 01:09:50.579
programmers who know who know like rust and zig

01:09:50.579 --> 01:09:52.840
and they can rewrite an entire they can rewrite

01:09:52.840 --> 01:09:56.939
the postgres code base from scratch but the problem

01:09:56.939 --> 01:10:01.399
is that's not 99 of people like almost everyone

01:10:01.399 --> 01:10:03.960
graduating from my university is like doesn't

01:10:03.960 --> 01:10:06.479
even know react no the problem is the companies

01:10:06.479 --> 01:10:08.859
they don't want they don't want guy who doesn't

01:10:08.859 --> 01:10:12.260
know react they want someone who's like 100x

01:10:12.260 --> 01:10:18.579
engineer and i really think The economy is squeezing

01:10:18.579 --> 01:10:21.039
so much. They lay off people and everyone just

01:10:21.039 --> 01:10:23.539
wants an engineer that can do the work of 50

01:10:23.539 --> 01:10:30.579
other engineers. Exactly. Which is great for

01:10:30.579 --> 01:10:33.220
the people that are willing to work. It's great

01:10:33.220 --> 01:10:36.640
for people like me who will just stay inside

01:10:36.640 --> 01:10:38.960
and watch YouTube tutorials about coding all

01:10:38.960 --> 01:10:42.439
day. But if that's not you, then it's brutal

01:10:42.439 --> 01:10:50.560
if you're not willing to. I don't know. I worry

01:10:50.560 --> 01:10:54.680
about it, too. I don't especially worry about

01:10:54.680 --> 01:10:59.699
getting a job, but so many of my friends... It

01:10:59.699 --> 01:11:02.899
seems like it's a reasonable expectation to go

01:11:02.899 --> 01:11:04.920
to college. You're in a bunch of debt, and then

01:11:04.920 --> 01:11:08.760
you get a job afterwards. But unless you're an

01:11:08.760 --> 01:11:11.100
ultra -nerd and you're willing to just put in

01:11:11.100 --> 01:11:14.340
a ton of extra work on the side, it's tough out

01:11:14.340 --> 01:11:18.569
there. Yeah. How is it going with your friends

01:11:18.569 --> 01:11:21.529
there? Are they getting jobs? Well, they're not

01:11:21.529 --> 01:11:25.670
done with university yet, right? Yeah, but I

01:11:25.670 --> 01:11:28.250
know quite a lot of people. When I went through

01:11:28.250 --> 01:11:30.470
the social engineering phase, I was like, how

01:11:30.470 --> 01:11:34.310
many people can I get to know? I met a ton of

01:11:34.310 --> 01:11:39.270
people. And I know at the college next to mine,

01:11:39.369 --> 01:11:43.029
it's so bad. Only 10 % of graduating people got

01:11:43.029 --> 01:11:48.720
it. Got a job or something. It's pretty bad,

01:11:48.840 --> 01:11:54.119
honestly. The economy overall here. Yeah. Do

01:11:54.119 --> 01:11:56.039
you think that they're laying off a lot of people,

01:11:56.159 --> 01:11:58.380
right? Because they're doing a lot of layoffs.

01:11:58.460 --> 01:12:01.079
So that means that a lot of skilled people is

01:12:01.079 --> 01:12:04.359
going to be without a job. And when we're in

01:12:04.359 --> 01:12:08.359
that situation and you need a job, you're going

01:12:08.359 --> 01:12:10.739
to get hired at a different company at a lower

01:12:10.739 --> 01:12:13.479
rate. What are you going to do? You don't have

01:12:13.479 --> 01:12:17.300
an option but just to accept. So are they trying

01:12:17.300 --> 01:12:21.119
to lower the salaries for engineers, right? It

01:12:21.119 --> 01:12:23.680
used to be, let's say, 150K a year, something

01:12:23.680 --> 01:12:27.539
not well paid. But now it's going down to 80.

01:12:27.739 --> 01:12:31.359
Why? Because people out of necessity are going

01:12:31.359 --> 01:12:34.260
to accept it. Do you think that could be a possibility?

01:12:35.680 --> 01:12:38.619
I think so, absolutely. I honestly think there

01:12:38.619 --> 01:12:41.890
are too many people. who are doing engineering

01:12:41.890 --> 01:12:45.409
because they hear the stories of getting a good

01:12:45.409 --> 01:12:49.130
salary. And if you're not 100 % committed, it's

01:12:49.130 --> 01:12:51.310
kind of going back to what it was in the old

01:12:51.310 --> 01:12:54.369
days where it was like only really, really committed

01:12:54.369 --> 01:12:56.850
people would do software engineering. There's

01:12:56.850 --> 01:13:02.270
just a lot that goes into it. Yeah. Is it an

01:13:02.270 --> 01:13:05.409
oversaturated market, maybe software engineering

01:13:05.409 --> 01:13:10.279
right now, especially with AI? AI is not going

01:13:10.279 --> 01:13:13.100
to solve all your problems. It's not going to

01:13:13.100 --> 01:13:16.520
do everything for you, right? But if used correctly

01:13:16.520 --> 01:13:19.779
by one of those 10x engineers, it's going to

01:13:19.779 --> 01:13:24.420
accelerate them into doing stuff faster, right?

01:13:24.479 --> 01:13:27.899
So if it took them, I don't know, five days to

01:13:27.899 --> 01:13:29.960
do something, it's going to take them one day.

01:13:30.359 --> 01:13:33.300
So I don't know. What are your thoughts on that,

01:13:33.359 --> 01:13:40.479
on AI? software development market oversaturated

01:13:40.479 --> 01:13:45.100
at the moment? I think it is, but honestly, I'm

01:13:45.100 --> 01:13:47.840
just a random kid who's like a math major. I'm

01:13:47.840 --> 01:13:50.880
not super qualified to talk about this software

01:13:50.880 --> 01:13:53.920
job market. It's just my opinion based on what

01:13:53.920 --> 01:13:59.100
I've seen locally. But AI is an interesting one.

01:13:59.279 --> 01:14:04.100
I personally, damn, dude, my hair is such a...

01:14:04.409 --> 01:14:07.409
There's such a thing to get under control. Flexing,

01:14:07.409 --> 01:14:14.710
hair flexing, uh -huh. AI though, like... What's

01:14:14.710 --> 01:14:19.289
up with the angel look? What's up with the glow?

01:14:20.010 --> 01:14:22.130
What's that? Did you put grease on the camera

01:14:22.130 --> 01:14:25.949
or what's that? No, my camera's just low quality.

01:14:26.409 --> 01:14:30.289
No, that's BS. Maybe it's greasy, I don't know.

01:14:30.369 --> 01:14:34.649
You have a crystal in there, right? Is that better?

01:14:35.130 --> 01:14:40.529
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But what's up with that angel,

01:14:40.689 --> 01:14:45.930
like, fractal look? I just never cleaned the

01:14:45.930 --> 01:14:52.689
camera. I thought that was just my camera being

01:14:52.689 --> 01:14:56.909
low quality. Oh, okay. So, I'm sorry I interrupted

01:14:56.909 --> 01:15:01.119
you. You were going to say something. Oh, on

01:15:01.119 --> 01:15:06.300
AI, yeah. I don't know. I know some people are

01:15:06.300 --> 01:15:09.439
using it very effectively for learning as a personal

01:15:09.439 --> 01:15:15.680
teacher, but I don't know, man. I don't have

01:15:15.680 --> 01:15:19.000
a great opinion on AI, to be honest. I don't

01:15:19.000 --> 01:15:21.420
think it's great for programming. My friend who's

01:15:21.420 --> 01:15:24.640
trying to start a business, he said, I'm making

01:15:24.640 --> 01:15:26.960
so much money vibe coding all this Next .js,

01:15:27.100 --> 01:15:28.819
and I said, that's going to come back to bite

01:15:28.819 --> 01:15:30.979
you. you don't know what you're doing with that

01:15:30.979 --> 01:15:32.960
vibe coding and he was like nah and then he came

01:15:32.960 --> 01:15:34.539
back to me a month later and he was like yeah

01:15:34.539 --> 01:15:36.899
you're absolutely right everything's falling

01:15:36.899 --> 01:15:42.520
apart this doesn't scale well currently but dude

01:15:42.520 --> 01:15:44.359
i don't i don't know they build they're building

01:15:44.359 --> 01:15:48.520
all these huge data centers it's really it's

01:15:48.520 --> 01:15:55.279
hard to say yeah Yeah, it's crazy. I find it

01:15:55.279 --> 01:15:57.500
useful when I know what I'm doing. If I don't

01:15:57.500 --> 01:15:59.680
remember something like networking, for example,

01:15:59.819 --> 01:16:03.199
right? And I just need to be refreshed and I

01:16:03.199 --> 01:16:04.819
don't want to go into my notes and I don't want

01:16:04.819 --> 01:16:07.520
to go into Google and into Cisco's documentation

01:16:07.520 --> 01:16:11.760
to find what I'm looking for. I can ask for a

01:16:11.760 --> 01:16:14.140
command, let's say, and it gives it back. And

01:16:14.140 --> 01:16:16.000
I'm like, yep, that's what I'm looking for. So

01:16:16.000 --> 01:16:18.840
it's like a Google in steroids. It's useful for

01:16:18.840 --> 01:16:22.000
way other stuff, but it's dumb at times. It's

01:16:22.000 --> 01:16:24.739
a tool. You just have to know how to use it,

01:16:24.760 --> 01:16:26.760
I guess. And it's going to, you know, depending

01:16:26.760 --> 01:16:28.560
on how it feels that day, it's going to give

01:16:28.560 --> 01:16:31.460
you good or bad results. But, you know, at the

01:16:31.460 --> 01:16:33.500
end of the day, it's just a tool, right? An additional

01:16:33.500 --> 01:16:47.119
tool. I think I lost you for a second. There.

01:16:53.459 --> 01:16:58.659
No. There we go. Yeah. Okay. I lost you for a

01:16:58.659 --> 01:17:05.539
second. Yeah. Now we had a comment in chat. Let's

01:17:05.539 --> 01:17:10.180
see what chat is saying. Hold on. It's chat.

01:17:12.479 --> 01:17:15.539
We lost you. What did you lose? Did you lose

01:17:15.539 --> 01:17:22.609
me or did you lose Sylvan? Can you listen to

01:17:22.609 --> 01:17:26.149
us right now, Ian? Can you listen to me, Sylvan?

01:17:29.949 --> 01:17:36.289
No? Yes, I can hear you. Can you hear me? Yep,

01:17:36.310 --> 01:17:42.050
I can hear you. Yeah. Yeah, you can hear me?

01:17:42.229 --> 01:17:44.630
Someone said very interestingly, we value the

01:17:44.630 --> 01:17:47.050
machines by millions of times more than the people

01:17:47.050 --> 01:17:48.770
if you look at the stock market. That's very

01:17:48.770 --> 01:17:59.729
true. No, it's not. Hold on, I lost you for a

01:17:59.729 --> 01:18:04.310
second, Silvan. You were saying about this, we

01:18:04.310 --> 01:18:06.369
value the machines by billions of times more

01:18:06.369 --> 01:18:13.829
than people. That is pretty true. Yeah. What

01:18:13.829 --> 01:18:19.069
did you say about that? I was just agreeing with

01:18:19.069 --> 01:18:24.369
it. I didn't really have much to add. Okay. Let's

01:18:24.369 --> 01:18:32.170
see. I have a question for you, Joshua Blaze.

01:18:32.350 --> 01:18:34.750
No, it's not Joshua Blaze. It was someone else.

01:18:35.590 --> 01:18:40.569
Let's see. What do I have here? You end up doing

01:18:40.569 --> 01:18:45.590
both, like Coke and alcohol. I did that a lot,

01:18:45.670 --> 01:18:50.029
man. I did that a lot. Oh. And not only... Really?

01:18:50.430 --> 01:18:57.149
Yeah. Not only... Oh, what happened? Did I do

01:18:57.149 --> 01:19:05.149
something with this guy? I hope I didn't. How

01:19:05.149 --> 01:19:09.710
can I go back here? God damn it. But I have...

01:19:11.359 --> 01:19:15.319
I have a question for you, Sylvan. Let me see.

01:19:15.520 --> 01:19:18.380
Are you supposed to be like your channel? It's

01:19:18.380 --> 01:19:24.659
like using computers as fast as possible. Complete

01:19:24.659 --> 01:19:31.720
doomer moment. I don't know how to go back there,

01:19:31.880 --> 01:19:38.789
man. Let me see. Let me refresh the chat. Hold

01:19:38.789 --> 01:19:44.729
on. Oh, there we go. I'm starting to feel like

01:19:44.729 --> 01:19:53.390
my father. Let's see. Did I block that guy? Was

01:19:53.390 --> 01:19:57.409
it sweet? Is it sweet? And you still type sweet?

01:19:57.510 --> 01:19:59.489
I don't know if I blocked you or something, man.

01:19:59.630 --> 01:20:03.210
Because you can time them out from here, I guess,

01:20:03.289 --> 01:20:08.149
right? SVG says a lot of people cheated through

01:20:08.149 --> 01:20:11.130
college. The initial pay was that the initial

01:20:11.130 --> 01:20:15.430
pay has been lowered to hidden unqualified people.

01:20:16.010 --> 01:20:19.289
The super race comes after proof of knowledge.

01:20:21.250 --> 01:20:25.829
Yes, that makes a lot of sense. So like as soon

01:20:25.829 --> 01:20:28.229
as you get to a company like they might be paying

01:20:28.229 --> 01:20:30.810
you jack shit, but as soon as you get there and

01:20:30.810 --> 01:20:33.029
you're actually good, they'll pay you a ton.

01:20:33.130 --> 01:20:38.239
That makes sense. Hmm. I see. Okay. I understand

01:20:38.239 --> 01:20:41.060
now. Yeah. Because smart people recognize other

01:20:41.060 --> 01:20:42.859
smart people. They can tell when you actually

01:20:42.859 --> 01:20:46.819
know what you're doing. Hmm. Okay. Makes sense.

01:20:47.380 --> 01:20:50.800
Yeah. That's, that's actually really true. Yeah.

01:20:50.899 --> 01:20:54.039
That's just kind of a, a way to, to pay like

01:20:54.039 --> 01:20:57.520
people who cheat almost nothing. Hopefully that's

01:20:57.520 --> 01:21:01.939
what happens. You know, that you do get your

01:21:01.939 --> 01:21:08.470
money raised afterwards. right uh yeah hopefully

01:21:08.470 --> 01:21:11.029
that that's what happens that's how it works

01:21:11.029 --> 01:21:17.810
at my company says catalog ready now there's

01:21:17.810 --> 01:21:20.069
a question that someone else posted here in chat

01:21:20.069 --> 01:21:24.750
appreciate for the super chat sbgx let's see

01:21:24.750 --> 01:21:34.239
so sylvan see you look at this here Beat this.

01:21:34.439 --> 01:21:37.979
I'm like the priest. MFR comes here to confess.

01:21:39.140 --> 01:21:48.760
What did you do in that shower? Oh, I forgot

01:21:48.760 --> 01:21:51.479
that. I forgot that's on YouTube publicly. I

01:21:51.479 --> 01:22:01.140
keep forgetting I made that video. How do I answer

01:22:01.140 --> 01:22:06.600
that best? His girlfriend takes girlfriend is

01:22:06.600 --> 01:22:16.579
gonna watch this probably I Don't know the conspiracy

01:22:16.579 --> 01:22:24.920
goes that deep Yeah, there was some where is

01:22:24.920 --> 01:22:33.630
it I had some picture maybe Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:22:33.710 --> 01:22:38.090
I had channel emotes. You can switch to my screen

01:22:38.090 --> 01:22:41.029
if you want. All right, I'll switch to that right

01:22:41.029 --> 01:22:48.829
now. Okay, can you see this? Yep. So Jake and

01:22:48.829 --> 01:22:50.770
I were going to have some channel emotes. He's

01:22:50.770 --> 01:22:54.949
very Greek. So we had some things like that on

01:22:54.949 --> 01:23:01.119
this because it's very iconic. But the problem

01:23:01.119 --> 01:23:03.399
is YouTube only supports very low resolution.

01:23:06.899 --> 01:23:10.060
Like emotes. You can't really, you can't use

01:23:10.060 --> 01:23:13.300
these images. They're too big. It really sucks.

01:23:13.539 --> 01:23:16.539
Yeah. But we worked hard on this. We had like

01:23:16.539 --> 01:23:20.840
depressed Jake too. Oh, I see what you mean.

01:23:21.199 --> 01:23:23.699
You're talking about the lip. I don't want to

01:23:23.699 --> 01:23:31.779
see Jake's. You know, just. Yeah. You're talking

01:23:31.779 --> 01:23:35.220
about these ones. Hold on. I'm going to send

01:23:35.220 --> 01:23:39.020
them in chat right now. So if people become members,

01:23:39.260 --> 01:23:41.539
they can send those. Those are the ones that

01:23:41.539 --> 01:23:43.819
I added. But I get what you're I get what you're

01:23:43.819 --> 01:23:51.380
saying, because when you. Yeah, I'm going to

01:23:51.380 --> 01:23:53.779
switch back to the switch back to the other one.

01:23:55.119 --> 01:23:58.100
When you add them as images here, they have to

01:23:58.100 --> 01:24:00.500
be pretty zoomed in or you cannot see shit, right?

01:24:00.659 --> 01:24:02.359
Is that what you're talking about? These little

01:24:02.359 --> 01:24:09.220
ones here? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So what's going

01:24:09.220 --> 01:24:11.020
to happen? You're not going to live with Jake

01:24:11.020 --> 01:24:13.600
anymore because you used to live in his apartment,

01:24:13.880 --> 01:24:17.760
right? No, I still do. I'm just staying with

01:24:17.760 --> 01:24:24.500
my parents for the first school break. yeah i

01:24:24.500 --> 01:24:28.140
still go to that apartment all the time but yeah

01:24:28.140 --> 01:24:31.819
next year next year jake is graduating and i'm

01:24:31.819 --> 01:24:36.220
still gonna be in school so i'm not sure oh really

01:24:36.220 --> 01:24:41.340
yeah yeah also like they they said i need renter's

01:24:41.340 --> 01:24:43.520
insurance which is just ridiculous like i'm already

01:24:43.520 --> 01:24:46.220
paying rent and utilities and stuff so i might

01:24:46.220 --> 01:24:48.720
just like i might try to believe i'm not dealing

01:24:48.720 --> 01:24:51.579
with that Like one time I had to take a class

01:24:51.579 --> 01:24:53.380
and there was a textbook and I couldn't pirate

01:24:53.380 --> 01:25:00.199
it. So I just dropped the class. Oh man. How

01:25:00.199 --> 01:25:04.220
does your mom feel? How does your mom feel with

01:25:04.220 --> 01:25:07.729
you becoming an... adult and going through all

01:25:07.729 --> 01:25:10.890
this crap. Like, I guess you were a kid just

01:25:10.890 --> 01:25:13.510
a few months ago, right? You were her baby and

01:25:13.510 --> 01:25:17.390
you still held her hand and used to go to the

01:25:17.390 --> 01:25:21.489
playing ground, you know, and that must feel

01:25:21.489 --> 01:25:24.470
sad. How does she feel? Because you don't understand

01:25:24.470 --> 01:25:26.590
it now because you're the kid. But as a parent,

01:25:26.750 --> 01:25:29.470
you know, as your kid, my daughter is my baby

01:25:29.470 --> 01:25:32.319
and I take her and we go out. places together.

01:25:32.439 --> 01:25:35.539
We go to the lake and we go to eat and stuff

01:25:35.539 --> 01:25:38.520
like that. But then they just leave the nest.

01:25:38.819 --> 01:25:43.800
How does she feel? What does she say? Yeah. I

01:25:43.800 --> 01:25:47.060
should really ask her about that more. I think

01:25:47.060 --> 01:25:51.340
it's like a slow, gradual change. I don't know.

01:25:51.460 --> 01:25:57.539
But I guess it has been kind of sudden for me

01:25:57.539 --> 01:26:00.880
in the last six months doing what I'm doing.

01:26:03.399 --> 01:26:07.800
But, yeah, I think she's overall, she's supportive.

01:26:07.979 --> 01:26:12.380
She knows she raised me well. Yeah, she must

01:26:12.380 --> 01:26:15.800
be proud. Now, you also switched, moving on to

01:26:15.800 --> 01:26:18.460
another topic, the Glove 80, you purchased one.

01:26:18.560 --> 01:26:21.140
How did it go? Did you realize it was a mistake

01:26:21.140 --> 01:26:26.100
already? You quit? No, not at all. It's not that,

01:26:26.239 --> 01:26:29.210
it's just like... It's the same problem with

01:26:29.210 --> 01:26:31.529
like using Linux. It's like, yes, it's, it's

01:26:31.529 --> 01:26:33.890
better, but I don't have time to learn it right

01:26:33.890 --> 01:26:36.609
now. Like I just need to get work done. So I'm

01:26:36.609 --> 01:26:38.810
just using my laptop keyboard because I also,

01:26:38.850 --> 01:26:43.989
I move around a lot and it's just like more stuff

01:26:43.989 --> 01:26:48.810
to drag around. I'll learn it one day for sure.

01:26:49.470 --> 01:26:51.970
I've typed on it a bit, but it's like, I feel

01:26:51.970 --> 01:26:54.270
like I have to set up layers for it to be effective,

01:26:54.529 --> 01:26:56.270
you know, and that's such a rabbit hole. There's

01:26:56.270 --> 01:26:58.890
so much to figuring out what layers are good.

01:26:59.670 --> 01:27:04.550
And yeah, I don't know. And then you're going

01:27:04.550 --> 01:27:06.770
to feel that the numbers are too far away. Haven't

01:27:06.770 --> 01:27:09.590
you felt that, that the number row is way too

01:27:09.590 --> 01:27:12.989
up there and it's like, it's reachable, but it's

01:27:12.989 --> 01:27:16.369
a stretch. So I just ditched it. F keys, ditch

01:27:16.369 --> 01:27:21.939
them as well. so i don't know i ordered a different

01:27:21.939 --> 01:27:24.140
keyboard and i'm just waiting for it to be shipped

01:27:24.140 --> 01:27:28.159
and i just want to confirm because we're all

01:27:28.159 --> 01:27:33.319
told this ideas you know concavity in your keyboard

01:27:33.319 --> 01:27:37.039
is the best and we just accept them right and

01:27:37.039 --> 01:27:40.119
it's like it's another youtuber said so you know

01:27:40.119 --> 01:27:43.220
concave keyboards are the best you know that

01:27:43.220 --> 01:27:46.739
the curvature in the in the club 80. I'm not

01:27:46.739 --> 01:27:48.779
quite sure, to be honest. I've used the Glove

01:27:48.779 --> 01:27:52.119
80 for over a year now. I got used to it already.

01:27:52.279 --> 01:27:56.560
You know, I can type quite fast on it. And I'm

01:27:56.560 --> 01:28:00.359
used, 100 % used to it. Well, recently I switched

01:28:00.359 --> 01:28:04.039
like two days ago. Enter was here and Backspace

01:28:04.039 --> 01:28:07.420
was here. So I switched them. Have you seen that

01:28:07.420 --> 01:28:11.180
in my messages? I just send a word and I send

01:28:11.180 --> 01:28:13.560
it. And I just send word by word. It's because

01:28:13.560 --> 01:28:18.680
I switched them. It's tough. I'm getting used

01:28:18.680 --> 01:28:23.600
to that. But is concavity a good or a bad thing?

01:28:23.720 --> 01:28:27.859
I don't know. I did follow YouTubers and I believed

01:28:27.859 --> 01:28:31.100
them. And I probably became one of them because

01:28:31.100 --> 01:28:33.300
I was like, yeah, the Glove 80 is the best thing

01:28:33.300 --> 01:28:37.020
in the world. But I want to try a flat split

01:28:37.020 --> 01:28:41.319
keyboard and see if concavity is actually good

01:28:41.319 --> 01:28:46.060
or it's just, you know. A waste of time. Once

01:28:46.060 --> 01:28:48.699
I try the new keyboard, I'll let you guys know

01:28:48.699 --> 01:28:51.560
my thoughts on it. But yeah, the Glove 80 is

01:28:51.560 --> 01:28:54.539
good. At least it's a split keyboard. It's good.

01:28:54.579 --> 01:28:59.039
It's comfortable. But I don't know, man. Yeah,

01:28:59.060 --> 01:29:02.199
I don't know. The split keyboard thing, I think

01:29:02.199 --> 01:29:04.720
we're hitting diminishing returns. I'm just waiting

01:29:04.720 --> 01:29:07.199
for neural link so I can just think directly

01:29:07.199 --> 01:29:10.800
into the computer. Yeah, yeah. Which switches

01:29:10.800 --> 01:29:13.890
did you get? You remember? Did you get the pink,

01:29:13.989 --> 01:29:17.970
the red pearls or the plum blossoms? I think

01:29:17.970 --> 01:29:23.670
red. The red? Yeah. They're horrible. I didn't

01:29:23.670 --> 01:29:29.689
like them. Oh, no. Yeah. No, but they're not

01:29:29.689 --> 01:29:31.930
bad. You know, they're a little bit noisy. They're

01:29:31.930 --> 01:29:34.789
not too noisy. They're not too hard. No, you

01:29:34.789 --> 01:29:37.670
know, they're good. They're not bad. All right.

01:29:38.250 --> 01:29:42.090
Mati, any final words? Anything else you want

01:29:42.090 --> 01:29:51.100
to? Talk about before we... I guess I'd love

01:29:51.100 --> 01:29:53.180
to ask, just because you mentioned it, what's

01:29:53.180 --> 01:30:01.760
it like to do cocaine? What's it like? It depends

01:30:01.760 --> 01:30:06.060
on the quality, I would say. It depends on the

01:30:06.060 --> 01:30:14.460
quality. If it's really good quality, I was throwing

01:30:14.460 --> 01:30:18.420
up once, man, because it was such great. You

01:30:18.420 --> 01:30:23.119
feel euphoric. But I always did it when I was

01:30:23.119 --> 01:30:27.039
drunk. And when I was very drunk, I always did

01:30:27.039 --> 01:30:31.619
it at that point. So it just made you feel better.

01:30:31.680 --> 01:30:34.340
It adds a little bit more to it. You know, it's

01:30:34.340 --> 01:30:37.220
like adding spices to the food and it makes it

01:30:37.220 --> 01:30:40.210
taste better. It's like that. I used to drink

01:30:40.210 --> 01:30:42.649
a lot and I used to smoke a lot of cigarettes

01:30:42.649 --> 01:30:47.210
when I was drinking. And those were like a spice

01:30:47.210 --> 01:30:49.869
to, you know, you used to smoke and it was like

01:30:49.869 --> 01:30:53.390
adding more stuff to it. You know, it makes you

01:30:53.390 --> 01:30:56.369
feel better. Then you add a little bit of coke

01:30:56.369 --> 01:30:59.970
to it, makes it feel better. You know, you just

01:30:59.970 --> 01:31:08.750
feel. I wasn't always too drunk, to be honest,

01:31:08.890 --> 01:31:13.369
but if you wanted to sleep you couldn't for sure

01:31:13.369 --> 01:31:17.850
that's that's a thing but yeah yeah i also did

01:31:17.850 --> 01:31:22.229
uh the other one crystal i did it when i was

01:31:22.229 --> 01:31:25.050
really drunk as well that was different it was

01:31:25.050 --> 01:31:30.930
different because you didn't eat you didn't sleep

01:31:30.930 --> 01:31:34.250
for two three days you know so i could drink

01:31:34.250 --> 01:31:42.020
without eating wow yeah Or two, three days. But

01:31:42.020 --> 01:31:47.119
after that, God damn. Do I recommend it, chat?

01:31:47.300 --> 01:31:49.720
If you're thinking about doing it, because it

01:31:49.720 --> 01:31:53.180
sounds great, right? It sounds amazing. Fuck

01:31:53.180 --> 01:31:57.060
no. Just don't do it. Out of experience, I wasted

01:31:57.060 --> 01:32:01.659
10 years of my life. I almost went the complete

01:32:01.659 --> 01:32:06.529
wrong direction. If it wasn't because of... God,

01:32:06.550 --> 01:32:08.810
and it sounds cliche as well. It sounds like

01:32:08.810 --> 01:32:13.069
a little bitch. God is the only savior. That's

01:32:13.069 --> 01:32:16.710
bullshit. But that's what happened with me specifically.

01:32:17.069 --> 01:32:21.649
You found Buddhism. It's a good thing. It's the

01:32:21.649 --> 01:32:26.829
way that life decided or found a way to reach

01:32:26.829 --> 01:32:31.609
you. For me, it was different. Krishna was that

01:32:31.609 --> 01:32:35.470
reached me. And that is what helped. Help me

01:32:35.470 --> 01:32:38.069
go out of that because you don't, you usually

01:32:38.069 --> 01:32:42.670
don't get out of that. It's pretty rare, extremely

01:32:42.670 --> 01:32:47.930
rare cases that you can leave drugs and alcohol

01:32:47.930 --> 01:32:51.850
if you're that involved. If you do it casually,

01:32:52.130 --> 01:32:54.689
it's fine. You know, you're not going to be bad,

01:32:54.789 --> 01:32:59.130
but it always progresses, right? So it's good.

01:32:59.510 --> 01:33:05.020
It's amazing until it's not. I don't know if

01:33:05.020 --> 01:33:07.619
that answered your question or if that leaves

01:33:07.619 --> 01:33:09.840
you with more questions. You can ask, it's fine.

01:33:11.319 --> 01:33:16.460
Yeah, yeah. Why was it like Krishna specifically

01:33:16.460 --> 01:33:20.340
in Hindu mythology? That's very interesting.

01:33:21.800 --> 01:33:29.380
Because life has its ways, man. It's pretty weird,

01:33:29.619 --> 01:33:32.619
you know, because... Christianity didn't work

01:33:32.619 --> 01:33:34.979
for me. And I'm not saying it's bad, you know,

01:33:35.000 --> 01:33:37.859
but that's the religion in my country. That's

01:33:37.859 --> 01:33:40.699
what everyone does here. Christian stuff, right?

01:33:41.739 --> 01:33:46.560
And I just noticed how people acted, Christian

01:33:46.560 --> 01:33:49.399
people. And I was like, that's not according

01:33:49.399 --> 01:33:52.680
to what you're teaching, you know? So I felt,

01:33:52.760 --> 01:33:57.159
I didn't feel that it was like an honest thing,

01:33:57.300 --> 01:34:00.800
at least. where I'm at, right? It can be different

01:34:00.800 --> 01:34:05.000
in all the other parts of the world. So I was

01:34:05.000 --> 01:34:08.420
like, no, I'm an atheist. I'm an agnostic. You

01:34:08.420 --> 01:34:11.199
know, I don't believe, but I believe. I was like,

01:34:11.239 --> 01:34:14.000
I don't care. You know, I just don't mess with

01:34:14.000 --> 01:34:17.260
that at all. I was more of an atheist, I think.

01:34:17.720 --> 01:34:22.640
So life finds a way. You know, it's smart. There's

01:34:22.640 --> 01:34:25.779
something up there that is way smarter. And it's

01:34:25.779 --> 01:34:28.539
like, You're not going to fall into Christianity.

01:34:28.640 --> 01:34:31.979
You're not going to fall into, you know, Hinduism,

01:34:32.159 --> 01:34:35.479
Buddhism. That is the one for you. And life is

01:34:35.479 --> 01:34:38.220
going to send someone that is going to talk to

01:34:38.220 --> 01:34:41.800
you, that is going to help you grow. Fortunately,

01:34:41.859 --> 01:34:45.180
that's what happened with me. My wife was in

01:34:45.180 --> 01:34:48.000
a bus one day. She was taking the bus. We, both

01:34:48.000 --> 01:34:51.819
of us, we were crazy, man. We used to do drugs,

01:34:52.039 --> 01:34:56.340
alcohol, crazy stuff. oh man yeah bad couple

01:34:56.340 --> 01:34:58.720
you know if you do that with your couple and

01:34:58.720 --> 01:35:02.760
if you're both uh addicts it's like the beautiful

01:35:02.760 --> 01:35:06.960
boy movie man i i love i love that movie because

01:35:06.960 --> 01:35:09.819
i feel identified with it you know it's like

01:35:09.819 --> 01:35:13.199
it is real it's a fucking real thing what happens

01:35:13.199 --> 01:35:16.560
in that movie but she was in the bus one day

01:35:16.560 --> 01:35:20.279
and someone uh got in the bus and was selling

01:35:20.279 --> 01:35:23.630
books you know and a small book let me show it

01:35:23.630 --> 01:35:32.689
to you hold on i have it here somewhere this

01:35:32.689 --> 01:35:36.569
it's a really small book you see it it's yeah

01:35:36.569 --> 01:35:39.369
a pocket version it doesn't have the last page

01:35:39.369 --> 01:35:42.010
already but it's a really small one it's in spanish

01:35:42.010 --> 01:35:45.670
and it's some something that someone transcribed

01:35:45.670 --> 01:35:49.590
from a huge book which is the bag about the kita

01:35:50.199 --> 01:35:52.840
It's a huge book. It's a conversation that Krishna

01:35:52.840 --> 01:35:56.539
had with Arjuna in a battle 5 ,000 years ago.

01:35:57.060 --> 01:36:02.699
And this little thing right here is what helped

01:36:02.699 --> 01:36:05.539
me. I'm not saying that is the solution, right?

01:36:05.819 --> 01:36:09.439
It is not. It's what helped me. Because life

01:36:09.439 --> 01:36:11.300
knew that I was not going to listen to anything

01:36:11.300 --> 01:36:14.359
else. When I started reading this book, I used

01:36:14.359 --> 01:36:18.399
to smoke a lot. I had a bong. And I remember

01:36:18.399 --> 01:36:21.619
I had a picture. My wife took it. I was reading

01:36:21.619 --> 01:36:25.579
one of these books. And I was smoking in my bong.

01:36:25.779 --> 01:36:28.840
How do you call it? Bong? The glass thing where

01:36:28.840 --> 01:36:33.479
you put water in. And I was like, this is bullshit.

01:36:33.779 --> 01:36:36.359
No, this is bullshit. I didn't believe it. But

01:36:36.359 --> 01:36:40.520
that's what I needed at that time. I don't know.

01:36:41.319 --> 01:36:47.350
The universe wanted to help me. My wife. you

01:36:47.350 --> 01:36:50.569
know, plays a huge part in that. Cause if it

01:36:50.569 --> 01:36:54.550
wasn't for her, uh, I, it wouldn't be possible.

01:36:54.750 --> 01:36:59.069
It wouldn't be possible. So I don't know. Just

01:36:59.069 --> 01:37:03.890
clicked basically. Yeah. It's just so interesting.

01:37:04.010 --> 01:37:07.810
It's man. Every, every person's life is like,

01:37:07.810 --> 01:37:14.149
so it's so unique and, and different. Yeah. We

01:37:14.149 --> 01:37:18.180
all follow very strange paths. Exactly, exactly.

01:37:19.220 --> 01:37:23.180
And how did it happen with you and Buddhism?

01:37:23.520 --> 01:37:28.199
It must have been someone that you admired or

01:37:28.199 --> 01:37:31.699
that you at least considered smart so that you

01:37:31.699 --> 01:37:33.920
listened to that person. How did that happen?

01:37:35.619 --> 01:37:45.659
How did they get you? I guess so. Yeah. I'm not

01:37:45.659 --> 01:37:50.600
sure. I think I honestly just didn't give it

01:37:50.600 --> 01:37:53.500
a ton of thought before. Like, I thought it was

01:37:53.500 --> 01:37:56.840
all just kind of like, I don't know, like brainwashing

01:37:56.840 --> 01:38:00.279
nonsense that has no no. I'm very like scientific

01:38:00.279 --> 01:38:03.300
kind of guy. Very. I was raised kind of agnostic

01:38:03.300 --> 01:38:05.739
or atheist. That's that was just my opinion.

01:38:05.800 --> 01:38:10.880
But thinking about. Thinking about someone like

01:38:10.880 --> 01:38:14.600
Buddha is not a. not like a spiritual figure

01:38:14.600 --> 01:38:17.020
so much as like just a really really brilliant

01:38:17.020 --> 01:38:20.899
engineer like a guy who designed something he

01:38:20.899 --> 01:38:23.979
designed like the way i think of it is like he

01:38:23.979 --> 01:38:28.220
he kind of realized like wait a minute everyone's

01:38:28.220 --> 01:38:29.840
like killing each other and trying to get as

01:38:29.840 --> 01:38:32.220
rich as possible and trying to just be like the

01:38:32.220 --> 01:38:36.399
top dog here but what's like What is the future

01:38:36.399 --> 01:38:38.579
of humanity really going to look like? I can't

01:38:38.579 --> 01:38:41.239
like maybe I could be the richest king, you know,

01:38:41.239 --> 01:38:44.140
in in my lifetime. But is that going to do anything

01:38:44.140 --> 01:38:47.060
for me? Not really. What I can do, though, is

01:38:47.060 --> 01:38:51.539
like try to steer humanity forward by coming

01:38:51.539 --> 01:38:53.979
up with like a really advanced framework for

01:38:53.979 --> 01:38:56.500
thinking about the world and like researching

01:38:56.500 --> 01:38:59.239
all the different ways that our brain works and

01:38:59.239 --> 01:39:02.819
how we can kind of predict them. And then. and

01:39:02.819 --> 01:39:05.260
then just pass that along with as much wisdom

01:39:05.260 --> 01:39:07.800
as I can to future generations. I just think

01:39:07.800 --> 01:39:11.039
he was a really brilliant engineer. I don't think

01:39:11.039 --> 01:39:15.199
there's anything like... I don't know. Spirituality

01:39:15.199 --> 01:39:17.899
has all this mysticism around it. I just think

01:39:17.899 --> 01:39:22.100
he was a really wicked smart guy who made a bunch

01:39:22.100 --> 01:39:24.880
of observations that hold true and then just

01:39:24.880 --> 01:39:28.640
passed them down to future generations. Mm -hmm.

01:39:28.739 --> 01:39:32.180
Yeah. Yep. And have you realized that it's never

01:39:32.180 --> 01:39:34.300
going to be enough? I was thinking about that

01:39:34.300 --> 01:39:37.779
the other day. It doesn't matter if I get 50

01:39:37.779 --> 01:39:43.539
,000 subs, 100 ,000 subs. Is that going to make

01:39:43.539 --> 01:39:48.920
me feel awesome? Is that the answer? Is that

01:39:48.920 --> 01:39:51.079
what I'm looking for? If I get a million subs,

01:39:51.340 --> 01:39:54.899
I'm still going to be chasing for more, right?

01:39:55.340 --> 01:39:57.779
Because that's what happens. I don't know if

01:39:57.779 --> 01:40:00.329
that... if that happens with you or not, but

01:40:00.329 --> 01:40:04.170
when I reach an achievement, I don't enjoy it.

01:40:04.270 --> 01:40:06.869
It's like, okay, it's done. Let's move on to

01:40:06.869 --> 01:40:10.510
the next one. I reached that other one. I don't

01:40:10.510 --> 01:40:12.810
even enjoy it for a second. It's like, this is

01:40:12.810 --> 01:40:15.430
not enough. Let's move on to the next one. And

01:40:15.430 --> 01:40:18.189
that's going to make me feel better. You reach

01:40:18.189 --> 01:40:20.869
that next one. It's not enough. Move on to the

01:40:20.869 --> 01:40:23.390
next one. And I'm just, you know, life is just

01:40:23.390 --> 01:40:25.250
passing by and it's never going to be enough.

01:40:25.329 --> 01:40:29.750
So I said, I need to do meditation. I need to

01:40:29.750 --> 01:40:35.369
find inner peace because my mind is always fucking,

01:40:35.609 --> 01:40:39.350
you know, my CPU is at 100 % all the time and

01:40:39.350 --> 01:40:41.590
I'm focused on a lot of different stuff and I'm

01:40:41.590 --> 01:40:44.050
never present and I'm tired of it. You know,

01:40:44.069 --> 01:40:46.630
I'm tired of always being somewhere else. I'm

01:40:46.630 --> 01:40:49.369
always in the future. I'm always in the past,

01:40:49.390 --> 01:40:52.890
but I'm never really here. And I just got tired

01:40:52.890 --> 01:40:55.289
of it, you know, because it's like you feel powerless.

01:40:55.350 --> 01:40:58.310
You feel like... What's the meaning of all this?

01:40:58.390 --> 01:41:02.010
It doesn't make any sense, right? So recently

01:41:02.010 --> 01:41:05.029
I decided, no, I need to go back inside. I need

01:41:05.029 --> 01:41:07.630
to try to meditate. I need to try to go back

01:41:07.630 --> 01:41:11.810
to the yoga and all that stuff. Yeah, there's

01:41:11.810 --> 01:41:15.289
no other answer, man. Eventually, you realize

01:41:15.289 --> 01:41:17.529
that, you know, you're going to explore as much

01:41:17.529 --> 01:41:19.270
as you want. You know, you're going to enjoy

01:41:19.270 --> 01:41:21.229
as much as you want. You're going to realize

01:41:21.229 --> 01:41:23.789
that it's never going to be enough. It's never

01:41:23.789 --> 01:41:26.229
going to satisfy you. The only thing that is

01:41:26.229 --> 01:41:29.989
going to satisfy you is if you find peace with

01:41:29.989 --> 01:41:36.810
yourself, I think. Yeah, but even then, maybe

01:41:36.810 --> 01:41:39.329
not. I don't know. It might just be the nature

01:41:39.329 --> 01:41:42.489
or nature to not really be ever satisfied. Of

01:41:42.489 --> 01:41:47.939
the human being. Yeah. exactly yeah but at least

01:41:47.939 --> 01:41:52.199
hopefully it makes it more vulnerable right so

01:41:52.199 --> 01:41:58.000
yeah because otherwise life's a bitch man if

01:41:58.000 --> 01:42:03.899
you're always chasing the next goal it's tiring

01:42:03.899 --> 01:42:10.149
right it's it's suffocating it's uh no yeah You

01:42:10.149 --> 01:42:12.569
get desperate. It's like, man, I just want this

01:42:12.569 --> 01:42:16.829
to end. I just want to. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.

01:42:17.170 --> 01:42:26.550
It's tough. Yeah. All right. Shalomit. Appreciate

01:42:26.550 --> 01:42:29.130
it, man. Any final words then? Any final questions

01:42:29.130 --> 01:42:31.869
or we're done for the day? I don't think so.

01:42:32.029 --> 01:42:34.970
I should probably get to bed. Yeah. What time

01:42:34.970 --> 01:42:39.630
is it? It's nine. Nine. Nine, right? Yeah. I

01:42:39.630 --> 01:42:43.109
had to take my daughter to bed as well. So, yeah.

01:42:43.770 --> 01:42:47.229
Thanks, Chad. Thanks. What was his name? XCPNG.

01:42:47.449 --> 01:42:50.869
What was the guy's name? XCPNG. That's a hypervisor.

01:42:51.010 --> 01:42:53.409
Have you heard about XCPNG? It's like Proxmox,

01:42:53.430 --> 01:42:57.689
but I use XCPNG. It's the best. SBGX is the guy

01:42:57.689 --> 01:43:00.869
that donated. Really appreciate it. Thanks to

01:43:00.869 --> 01:43:04.130
you as well, Sylvan. Thanks, Chad. Yeah. Talk

01:43:04.130 --> 01:43:08.670
to you later. Did you apologize to Tony and Miss

01:43:08.670 --> 01:43:12.750
because you left them hanging that day? Did you?

01:43:12.789 --> 01:43:15.369
No, I haven't yet. No, that's bad, man. That's

01:43:15.369 --> 01:43:17.989
bad. Talk to your Buddhist priest about that.

01:43:19.989 --> 01:43:23.210
Kidding. All right, man. Talk to you. Bye. We'll

01:43:23.210 --> 01:43:23.409
see you.
