0:51

0:59

1:14
SPEAKER_02: I'll add that one.
1:15
SPEAKER_01: I've got two things on the list.
1:18
SPEAKER_01: Um I've been thinking about lately.
1:21
SPEAKER_02: No, but I'd love to know.
1:23
SPEAKER_01: Ants.
1:25
SPEAKER_02: We yeah.
1:26
SPEAKER_01: Did I talk about this already with you?
1:28
SPEAKER_02: No, I've not heard it.
1:29
SPEAKER_02: You say the word ants ever.
1:31
SPEAKER_01: I love ants.
1:32
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I don't but love hate.
1:36
SPEAKER_01: No, I I think it's possible they're a more evolved species than we are.
1:42
SPEAKER_02: I think it's I I think that would be whales, but okay.
1:46
SPEAKER_01: No, I think they are.
1:47
SPEAKER_01: See, here's my theory.
1:49
SPEAKER_01: My theory is if evolution, if you're an evolutionist, if evolution is about survival, survival of the fittest, if that's what it's about, at the end of the day, making more of yourself and don't and don't die.
2:08
SPEAKER_02: Roaches.
2:09
SPEAKER_01: It's pretty, it's pretty damn uh, you know, probable that ants are gonna outlive us by a long shot.
2:20
SPEAKER_01: Cockroaches, sharks, they've already been around, sharks have been around longer than trees.
2:26
SPEAKER_01: Did you know that?
2:28
SPEAKER_02: No.
2:29
SPEAKER_01: Yes, now you do.
2:30
SPEAKER_01: So evolution, if it's uh evolution is about you know survival.
2:36
SPEAKER_01: I could I could talk to my my brother-in-law about it.
2:39
SPEAKER_01: He's a biologist, specializes in genetics.
2:43
SPEAKER_01: If if that's the case, then maybe it is smarter to, you know, have a hive mind, you know, well, definitely a collective intelligence.
2:59
SPEAKER_01: You know, yes, an ant can't maybe solve you know algebra problems, but maybe an ant is smart enough to know that none of that matters.
3:10
SPEAKER_01: The reality is it doesn't matter at all.
3:14
SPEAKER_01: So, and then here's here's another thing I was thinking.
3:20
SPEAKER_01: Okay, I wrote this down.
3:22
SPEAKER_01: I wrote I this is how I I write thoughts to myself.
3:25
SPEAKER_01: I email email myself a thought from another email.
3:29
SPEAKER_01: So in my email, there's an email says thought, which means you know it was nighttime, I was about getting ready to bet go to bed, and I had a thought.
3:41
SPEAKER_01: So before I forgot it, I thoughts, we call those.
3:46
SPEAKER_01: Mind thoughts.
3:47
SPEAKER_01: Okay, yeah.
3:48
SPEAKER_01: So here's a thought.
3:51
SPEAKER_02: Did you put it in your mind app or just in the email program?
3:54
SPEAKER_01: It's in my email program.
3:55
SPEAKER_01: So if ants, here's the thing.
3:59
SPEAKER_01: If ants knew that they'd be reborn back into the colony, okay, if they just knew this as a baseline piece of knowledge, they just know they're they're just cosmically aware that if they die, it's gonna maybe hurt, but they're gonna be reborn back into the colony very quickly.
4:28
SPEAKER_01: Let's just pretend that's real, and ants could think that.
4:34
SPEAKER_01: Like they're they know they're reincarnationists, right?
4:38
SPEAKER_02: Right, you you yeah, that that's taking up one 60 seconds to say that, but yeah, okay, I got it.
4:43
unknown: All right.
4:45
SPEAKER_01: Um, and and and and that they can communicate with whatever energy, I'm calling it energy, you might call it God, but I I'm gonna call it energy as far as an ant's concerned.
4:57
SPEAKER_01: They can communicate with the energy that created them.
5:04
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
5:06
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
5:07
SPEAKER_01: From that, from that communication, which is a language, it's a language they have.
5:13
SPEAKER_01: We have language that's blah blah blah blah blah, that we flap our lips.
5:18
SPEAKER_01: That's our language.
5:19
SPEAKER_01: Maybe ants have a different language that's that's way more evolved.
5:24
SPEAKER_01: They don't they don't, they just can communicate telepathically to whatever cosmic being made them.
5:31
SPEAKER_02: Fair months, pair months.
5:33
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
5:34
SPEAKER_01: Um, and so is it possible?
5:37
SPEAKER_01: So if though though if that if those two things were true, and the hive mind is like, yeah, it's okay, you're gonna die, but it's because collectively you need to die so that the the the ant colony lives, but it's okay, you're gonna be back in 10 days, like see in 10 days.
5:56
SPEAKER_01: It's gonna hurt buddy, but if they knew all this and they could connect with the cosmic being that that that is their energy, would would they be more evolved?
6:09
SPEAKER_01: Would that be smart more evolved than us?
6:12
SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna say smarter, but would that be more evolved than what we are if that was the case?
6:19
SPEAKER_01: They're tiny, you know, but would they be more evolved if they fit into that category, that um those rules?
6:29
SPEAKER_02: I have no idea.
6:31
SPEAKER_01: Oh man, after all that, I want you to think on it.
6:34
SPEAKER_01: I want you to think hard on it.
6:35
SPEAKER_02: Well, that's it's gonna take me time to think on that.
6:38
SPEAKER_01: It's gonna take like subconscious thinking and well it's it's so you know, we're so we're so stupid to think that that you know we're so dang smart because we can solve math and we can, you know, we know what elements are, we know how big the universe is, and that's what makes us smart.
6:59
SPEAKER_01: But maybe it's not that at all.
7:01
SPEAKER_01: Maybe that's like maybe ants who can just cosmically contact and communicate with the energy that created them, maybe ants are like, God, those big old dumb giants, they're so stupid.
7:15
SPEAKER_01: They're just gonna they're gonna die in a hundred thousand years.
7:19
SPEAKER_01: We'll be there, we'll be here for another million.
7:22
SPEAKER_01: Boy, they're so dumb.
7:24
SPEAKER_01: Like, I can see that.
7:27
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
7:28
SPEAKER_01: Big dumb giants, big dumb oaths.
7:31
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
7:32
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
7:33
SPEAKER_01: I want you to think on that.
7:34
SPEAKER_01: You didn't know that.
7:36
SPEAKER_01: You didn't know you were gonna get that thought grenade today, did you?
7:39
SPEAKER_02: No.
7:40
SPEAKER_02: I never know what I'm gonna get with you.
7:42
SPEAKER_01: I want you to think on that.
7:43
SPEAKER_01: I want you to report back to me what you think about that.
7:47
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
7:48
SPEAKER_01: Okay, I think I I think I've said enough here.
7:52
SPEAKER_02: Well, I I can tell you I did write down a list of some name ideas.
7:57
SPEAKER_01: Well, we're gonna have to get that tomorrow.
