- 0:00Speaker 1: Did you ever see the Georgia Guidestones?
- 0:02Speaker 2: Mm-mm.
- 0:03Speaker 1: The Georgia Guidestones were this thing that I don't know
- 0:08Speaker 1: if they know who built it. Do they know who
- 0:09Speaker 1: funded that thing? I don't think so. I don't think
- 0:12Speaker 1: they were funded. The Georgia Guidestones, somebody spent a lot
- 0:15Speaker 1: of money to make these giant stone statues with the
- 0:20Speaker 1: guides to how to keep a civilization intact.
- 0:26Speaker 3: Oh, like the rules?
- 0:26Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
- 0:28Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 0:28Speaker 1: It's written in a bunch of different languages. So what
- 0:32Speaker 1: is it like? So somebody blew it up, man.
- 0:34Speaker 3: No. Oh, yeah.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Let's sit down the bottom. Somebody blew it up and
- 0:39Speaker 1: then they decided after the person blew up part of
- 0:42Speaker 1: it to destroy it all, which I don't understand that logic.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Why they wouldn't just rebuild it? Why didn't you just
- 0:48Speaker 1: rebuild it? So a mysterious monument meant to guide into
- 0:51Speaker 1: an age of reason was destroyed after an apparent bombing.
- 0:55Speaker 2: And that right there is like a perfect example of existence.
- 0:58Speaker 1: It feels like. Yeah. How about just leave it there? Yeah. Okay.
- 1:01Speaker 1: June of 1979, a man going by the pseudonym of R.C.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Christian approached the Elberton Granite Finishing Company with the task
- 1:10Speaker 1: of building a monument. He said that no one was
- 1:12Speaker 1: ever to know his true identity or the group that
- 1:14Speaker 1: he was representing, or that of the group that he
- 1:19Speaker 1: was representing. He seemed to have an endless supply of
- 1:21Speaker 1: money to fund the project. And by the terms of
- 1:24Speaker 1: the legal contract, all plans had to be destroyed after
- 1:27Speaker 1: completion and all information about him withheld from the public.
- 1:30Speaker 1: So the stones are finished in 1980. They carry a
- 1:34Speaker 1: tablet and a front book claiming, let these be guide
- 1:38Speaker 1: stones to an age of reason. Engraved in the stones
- 1:41Speaker 1: are 10 guidelines meant to reestablish the planet and society
- 1:45Speaker 1: perhaps after an apocalypse. They're written in eight different languages. English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindu, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese,
- 1:53Speaker 1: and Russian, amongst other commandments preached to maintain humanity under
- 1:58Speaker 1: 500 million in perpetual balance with nature. Wow. Rule, passion, faith, tradition,
- 2:04Speaker 1: and all things with tempered reason. Balance personal rights with
- 2:08Speaker 1: social duties. Yeah. Be not a cancer on the earth.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Leave room for nature. Wow. Solid laws.
- 2:15Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Yeah, do you think— That's solid. Yeah, it seems like
- 2:18Speaker 2: a great plan. Do you think that humanity is supposed
- 2:21Speaker 2: to reach, like, this place where we kind of get
- 2:23Speaker 2: it all figured out? Or do you think it's always
- 2:25Speaker 2: just this constant ebb and flow of, like— Well, I think.
- 2:30Speaker 3: Step forward, step back. Or two steps forward, step back.
- 2:33Speaker 1: We were talking about on the podcast, like, what's happening
- 2:36Speaker 1: in terms of, like, people slowly turning into genderless aliens. Yeah.
- 2:41Speaker 1: You know, I think that's probably really what's going on.
- 2:45Speaker 1: I don't think humanity ever gets together. I think humanity
- 2:48Speaker 1: stops being humanity. Because I think what keeps us from
- 2:51Speaker 1: getting it together, a lot of it, is if you
- 2:54Speaker 1: think about the horrors of society, like violence, war, thievery,
- 3:00Speaker 1: like stealing resources, all that stuff, imprisoning people, corruption, all
- 3:04Speaker 1: those things are like, those are built-in primal behaviors in
- 3:09Speaker 1: human beings, especially with unchecked power. And I think that
- 3:13Speaker 1: As long as we're just human beings, we're going to
- 3:16Speaker 1: have those things. We'll have less and less of them.
- 3:18Speaker 1: We have way less now than we had during fucking
- 3:20Speaker 1: King Henry VIII. Like back during King Henry VIII, you
- 3:24Speaker 1: couldn't have a podcast. He would fucking kill you. When
- 3:26Speaker 1: he wanted to get rid of his wives, he just
- 3:27Speaker 1: chopped their fucking heads off. Can we get a new one?
- 3:30Speaker 1: Get rid of her. Off with her head.
- 3:32Speaker 3: You couldn't do that now.
- 3:33Speaker 1: That was the thing, right? Was it Henry VIII that
- 3:34Speaker 1: was off with her head?
- 3:37Speaker 3: Wasn't he the guy?
- 3:38Speaker 1: He had like a few of them.
- 3:40Speaker 3: He would see it.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Now it would be his wife would make a tick
- 3:42Speaker 2: talk about it in a heartbeat.
- 3:43Speaker 3: I feel like her sister would. Oh, yeah.
- 3:46Speaker 1: She would like that motherfucker. There's nothing wrong with her head.
- 3:50Speaker 1: He said her head was cursed.
- 3:51Speaker 3: Henry is lying.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 3:54Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:55Speaker 1: Nowadays are different, man. So that's like Steven Pinker's work,
- 3:58Speaker 1: if you follow his work on violence and crime. People
- 4:01Speaker 1: always want to think that violence and crime is more
- 4:04Speaker 1: now than ever before. But the reality is, when you
- 4:07Speaker 1: look at the course of human history, there's never been
- 4:10Speaker 1: a more safe time to be alive than right now.
- 4:14Speaker 3: What do you think it looks like coming up?
- 4:15Speaker 2: Do you think people start to— if people.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Continue to be so— like full of fear?
- 4:21Speaker 2: Do people like resort back to like their tribal nature
- 4:24Speaker 2: or what kind of starts to happen?
- 4:26Speaker 1: They definitely do if the power goes out. The only
- 4:28Speaker 1: thing that keeps society together is power. As soon as
- 4:31Speaker 1: power goes out, you have no electricity, you have no cooling.
- 4:34Speaker 1: So you can't stay in places where it's too hot
- 4:36Speaker 1: and you can't live in places where it's too cold.
- 4:38Speaker 1: You're in a bad spot there. So then if you're
- 4:41Speaker 1: living in a place where it's too cold, you're heavily
- 4:42Speaker 1: dependent upon firewood. So a big part of your day
- 4:46Speaker 1: is getting firewood. You have to make sure you have enough.
- 4:48Speaker 1: If you're living in Siberia, you have to have a
- 4:51Speaker 1: fucking shit pile of firewood. And you never let that
- 4:54Speaker 1: fire go out.
- 4:54Speaker 2: Ever.
- 4:54Speaker 3: I'd get a bunch.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Ever. You need to have a bunch. I would. I'd
- 4:58Speaker 1: get there early and get it. You got to keep
- 4:59Speaker 1: that fucking fire going, man. Because if you're stuck out
- 5:02Speaker 1: there and it's 70 degrees below zero, like, you'll die.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Dude, imagine you fall asleep and it fucking goes out.
- 5:08Speaker 2: And then you have to wake up the other people
- 5:10Speaker 2: and tell them.
- 5:11Speaker 1: And a lot of these guys aren't using matches to
- 5:12Speaker 1: start fires either. Because, you know, that's one of the
- 5:15Speaker 1: things that survivalists will tell you. It's like you're going
- 5:16Speaker 1: to run out of matches. You should learn how to
- 5:19Speaker 1: start a fire without matches. So you've got to learn
- 5:21Speaker 1: how to start a fire with steel and flint.
- 5:24Speaker 3: I don't know how.
- 5:25Speaker 1: It's fucking not easy, man. There's some fire starters you
- 5:28Speaker 1: can get. They're pretty good.
- 5:30Speaker 3: Have you seen people do it? Like when you go
- 5:31Speaker 3: hunting and stuff? I've done it. You have?
- 5:32Speaker 1: I've done it, yeah. I've started fires with these little
- 5:35Speaker 1: flint sticks. So it's like a piece of steel and
- 5:39Speaker 1: a piece of flint. And there's these little things called
- 5:43Speaker 1: fire starters. and some people make them too. One of
- 5:46Speaker 1: the ways they make them is they take cotton balls,
- 5:48Speaker 1: like cotton swabs, and they soak them in Vaseline. And
- 5:52Speaker 1: so then you take tinder. So you have like, some
- 5:57Speaker 1: people use steel wool. They use different things that you
- 6:03Speaker 1: can make it with like shavings and dry the shavings out.
- 6:06Speaker 1: And then you slowly get little sparks onto those shavings.
- 6:09Speaker 3: And the.
- 6:11Speaker 1: And then once you get it going, then you put
- 6:12Speaker 1: some little sticks on, then you put some bigger sticks on,
- 6:14Speaker 1: now you have a fire.
- 6:15Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 6:16Speaker 1: And they say that you should know how to do
- 6:18Speaker 1: that because you don't want to be on that last
- 6:20Speaker 1: match going, fuck, fuck. You have to know how to
- 6:24Speaker 1: actually start a fire. The best way is with tools.
- 6:27Speaker 1: I tried to start a fire when I was in
- 6:28Speaker 1: the Boy Scouts with the bow. I don't know if
- 6:30Speaker 1: you ever did that one. There's a stick and you
- 6:32Speaker 1: wrap it.
- 6:32Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, and you do it like that or whatever?
- 6:33Speaker 1: Back and forth and back and forth.
- 6:34Speaker 3: Like Cotton Eye Joe or whatever?
- 6:35Speaker 1: I got it to smoke. I got blackness came out
- 6:38Speaker 1: of it. I never got a fire.
- 6:39Speaker 3: Damn.
- 6:40Speaker 1: I never got it to the point where I could
- 6:42Speaker 1: light something on fire there. Yeah. But I was also dumb.
- 6:46Speaker 1: I didn't realize you got to put little tiny pieces
- 6:48Speaker 1: of wood down in there once it starts going and
- 6:50Speaker 1: blow on it. I thought a fire was going to
- 6:53Speaker 1: get going.
- 6:53Speaker 3: Just fucking go, huh?
- 6:54Speaker 1: I thought that thing was.
- 6:55Speaker 3: Going to light fire eventually. Yeah, it didn't. It didn't.
