- 0:30My name is Germ. This is Germ warfare, the battle
- 0:33of ideas. I don't think you and I have
- 0:35spoken in 2026. No, I don't.
- 0:40Oh, shit. Hold on.
- 0:43No, I don't. I don't think we have.
- 0:48No, no, we haven't. No, I can't remember the last
- 0:51time. It was a while ago.
- 0:53Well, how do discussions normally go?
- 0:55Let's talk about the weather. Well, your weather's different.
- 0:59I'm. You know, when you, when you're
- 1:01in the, when you're in the conspiratorial space, you can
- 1:05say how's the weather? And then we get into a
- 1:07discussion about geoengineering. That's right.
- 1:10You know, I don't follow that that closely because I, you
- 1:12know, it's those kinds of things like chemtrails and crap like
- 1:15that. It's like I just figure, you
- 1:16know, we're screwed. Listen, I I've actually, I've
- 1:21actually been been entertaining the whole chemtrail thing
- 1:24recently and this doesn't get me brownie points, you know, in the
- 1:31alternative media space. But I am of the opinion that the
- 1:36whole chemtrail thing is completely overstated.
- 1:38Yeah, probably. I think everything is no.
- 1:44No, no. But I can tell you exactly why I
- 1:46think it's completely overstated, because it's very,
- 1:50very expensive and extremely inefficient.
- 1:54I mean, there are some so many better ways to poison people
- 1:58than to spray the skies because spraying the skies is it's so
- 2:03unreliable and unpredictable and, you know, and it also
- 2:06affects the people who are doing the spraying.
- 2:09Right, right, right. Well, that's what a lot of this
- 2:12stuff is. It's like even the vaccine
- 2:14thing, it's like, you know, how do you implement genocide with,
- 2:20with something like that? You know when when you've got
- 2:23all the people that are supposed to survive it are also were they
- 2:28informed? Don't take the vaccine?
- 2:30You know, it's, it's like, and I mean, I know there was a lot.
- 2:33Of that's quite easy though, no, hold on, I think.
- 2:35That's easier, yeah. It is weird because I mean, it's
- 2:38literally an injection into your body, right?
- 2:40And you can also get a placebo, but.
- 2:43Yeah, but right, right, right. Well, the chemtrails are the
- 2:46same thing that's going on with with the whole mRNA technology
- 2:51that they're putting in mosquitoes and no.
- 2:53No, no. But what I'm saying to you, no,
- 2:54no, no, no, hold on, go back a few steps.
- 2:57What I'm, what I'm saying to you is that an airplane has to fly.
- 3:00It has to fly above you and it has to actively spray something,
- 3:04right? And, and so whoever is, I mean,
- 3:08firstly, there's a whole trail of things that has to happen in
- 3:11order for that to occur, which the conspiratorial folks don't
- 3:15ever look into. They don't follow the trail, you
- 3:19know, like where, where does the actual, where do the chemicals
- 3:25come from? They have to come from somewhere
- 3:27and then they have to go on a truck and they have to go into
- 3:30the airplane somehow. So are they inside the, is it
- 3:33inside the fuel? Is it a separate compartment?
- 3:36Does work differently. And I've interviewed GE
- 3:40engineering people and, and they make fairly persuasive arguments
- 3:44about about chemtrails, but they don't go beyond that.
- 3:48And that's that's what frustrates me.
- 3:51I don't know. Crap.
- 3:54I, I remember one of the first, the first thing, this was back,
- 3:57this was like 25 years ago or more.
- 4:00It's more than that. And it was when it first started
- 4:04up as being the thing that people were talking about.
- 4:06And I had a very good friend who is in the Air Force and I
- 4:11mentioned it to him and we were communicating a lot together and
- 4:13whatever. And I mentioned, well, what
- 4:15about these chemtrails? I never heard from him again.
- 4:19It's like he just disappeared. So I and then I started going,
- 4:22oh Gee, maybe there is something to it.
- 4:24No, I hear you. And you know, it's the same
- 4:26argument they have with with the Twin Towers.
- 4:29You know, it's like, well, that would have taken a lot of work
- 4:32to put, you know, explosives on the elevators and wherever it
- 4:37was on the columns and all that stuff.
- 4:39So there's always that, there's that common sense thing that
- 4:43people do come up with and they like say, well, if that were
- 4:45true, how could they pull that off without without a lot of
- 4:49people lying or whatever. But even that's fairly easy.
- 4:54I mean, these things are are not complicated to do because most
- 4:59of the, shall we say, the peasant classes doing the
- 5:03groundwork don't really know what's going on at the top.
- 5:06Same thing with, you know, I mean, same.
- 5:08Yeah, you know, you know what I mean.
- 5:10Like with the moon landing. Whatever.
- 5:12I don't. Know.
- 5:13Like with the moon landing, let's just say, let's just say
- 5:16they didn't go. It's fairly easy to pull that
- 5:17off because you only need a handful of people at the top who
- 5:21actually knew whether or not those 3 astronauts who went to
- 5:26the moon. Well, isn't that the whole, you
- 5:30know, need to know basis? I mean, isn't that the whole way
- 5:33that any of these espionage systems work is that only a few
- 5:37people know what's going on? I mean, that's the way they they
- 5:40control it and contain it. I I don't have any works.
- 5:45Yeah, right. Exactly.
- 5:47I don't have any problem at all believing all these things
- 5:50obviously about it every day. I don't go that far into
- 5:55analyzing it because I think there's a common sense element
- 5:59to it that that also supports it.
- 6:03I mean, you know, it's, it's like it doesn't make any sense
- 6:06that say building 7 collapse the way he did and, and whatever.
- 6:09I mean, that's a common sense thing and figuring out how they
- 6:13did it. Is is that doesn't really, I
- 6:17mean, what there there's, there's some logic thing I'm I'm
- 6:20thinking of and I can't think of the name of it now.
- 6:22It's it's like, if it, if it's there, it got there somehow.
- 6:26And it doesn't really matter if you can figure that out or not.
- 6:29I mean, it's like it's, it's there and and it's obvious it's
- 6:33there. And you're right about the, the
- 6:34chemtrail things. I mean, there really isn't, is
- 6:39there, is it? And you would know this because
- 6:41I'm just saying crap about it, but it's not an an area that
- 6:45I've even looked at. But you, you have because you've
- 6:48had guests on and everything. I mean, do they explain the
- 6:51effect that it's having is? There and there is there is
- 6:55validity to the whole thing. I, you know, I've never, I've
- 6:59never said chemtrails don't exist.
- 7:00But this is also the false dichotomy problem that we have.
- 7:04If I say I think it's overstated and what they hear is so you're
- 7:08saying they don't exist. No good moron.
- 7:11I'm not saying that, yeah, I'm not saying that.
- 7:14I'm just saying it's overstated. I know pilots and they know how
- 7:20a Boeing works. You know, they have to know it's
- 7:23part of the training. And in order for them to
- 7:27actively spray stuff, you know, let's say an Emirates plane is
- 7:31flying, the pilot has to know what's going on if he's going to
- 7:33activate that spray. Because as we've seen from all
- 7:36the cell phone photographs, because that's all they ever
- 7:38are, cell phone photographs of these long trails in the sky.
- 7:42And they go look, look, look, it's chemtrails.
- 7:45But what, what I don't get is why don't any of these people
- 7:48take telescopes and zoom in and see what airplane that actually
- 7:53is? Is it a Boeing 767?
- 7:57And if it is, that plane is physically going somewhere and
- 8:00it's going to land somewhere that can be tracked and traced.
- 8:03And then you can have a look at that aeroplane and you can see
- 8:06who the pilot was. And you can, you know, you can,
- 8:07you can bold a whole case around it.
- 8:10But all we ever see is 1 snapshot of of something
- 8:13happening in the sky and nobody ever zooms in, yet they zoom in
- 8:16on the moon and everything else. Yeah, but you know, I, I don't
- 8:22think anything is, is as it is. It looks, I mean as it seems is
- 8:26is a whole different thing. I mean, but but like the whole
- 8:29chemtrail thing and anything else it's like spun out of in
- 8:35delirium. I mean, it's to the point where
- 8:38where you, you can't kind of 0 in on the truth.
- 8:42And it's like what you said earlier, it, it, it's like it's
- 8:45black and white with everything. I mean, everything is so black
- 8:48and white now. It's like you can't even
- 8:50suggest, well, the pyramids weren't built by slaves, you
- 8:53know, pulling stones up on a ramp and they go, oh, so you,
- 8:57you believe aliens built them or you believe that, you know, that
- 9:01they were, they just appeared or something.
- 9:03I mean, you know, and it's like, it's like, no, I'm just saying
- 9:05that they weren't built that way.
- 9:07And, you know, you're saying I, I don't think the chemtrails are
- 9:10what all the advocates for chemtrail insanity are saying.
- 9:15It's just, it's just, that doesn't make sense.
- 9:17And then it's like, oh, well, you, you, you're saying
- 9:19chemtrails don't exist and there, there's nothing to be
- 9:21concerned about. And again, you know, like me,
- 9:24I'm Mr. Paranoid and I believe everything for the most part
- 9:29that we concern ourselves with that we talk about is, is part
- 9:33of the agenda's intention. And I think this is one of those
- 9:36things where chemtrails very well may be just a, a decoy,
- 9:40They may be something that has been put into place that doesn't
- 9:44do anything. Maybe two or three planes every
- 9:46once in a while will go up and, and do something that looks like
- 9:50chemtrails and, and then the agenda goes good.
- 9:53We've got them all looking at that now and they're not looking
- 9:57at really what we're doing back here behind the screen.
- 10:01And I'm not saying that's what it is 'cause I don't know enough
- 10:04about it. I mean, you can shoot that down
- 10:06probably pretty easily. But I'm just saying I think
- 10:09there's a lot of stuff out there that's put out there by the
- 10:13agenda itself in in order for us to to pay attention.
- 10:17I think Trump is that. I mean, I think he's he's he's
- 10:21like the perfect distraction for for everything.
- 10:23Now what? He might not even know it.
- 10:25He might not know. Yeah, he might not know that,
- 10:29that he's playing that role, but he very well could be.
- 10:34And the agenda just sits there and goes, well, yeah, let him
- 10:37sit there and bicker about Greenland and Venezuela and
- 10:41whatever while we're under the hood here tinkering with with
- 10:46things that actually matter to us.
- 10:49And, you know, it's a great distraction because if you
- 10:53really analyze what he's done, you, you can't really find a lot
- 10:56that really is against the agenda's intentions that really
- 11:02disrupts the agenda's agenda. Well, I mean, I think that's by
- 11:06design, as you, as you say. I mean, I agree with you is what
- 11:08I'm saying. Because so it's easy to fall
- 11:13into the trap of thinking everything, you know, every,
- 11:19everything now is a, is a is a is a is a is a trick.
- 11:27I've gone blank. Everything is not as it seems,
- 11:30but some some things are as they seem.
- 11:33Right, right. I mean, again, going back to
- 11:35Trump's, he's always the topic. I mean, he very well may be the
- 11:39savior. He very well may be a maverick.
- 11:43That's that got in place. Let's not, let's not push our
- 11:46luck here. Well, you know, I'm, I'm just
- 11:50kind of going along with that. I mean, everybody that, that
- 11:53everybody on our side of the fence and they're not just, you
- 11:56know, on our side of the fence here, there, it's kind of
- 11:59divided. There's there.
- 12:01And I don't know what the percentage is, but there's a
- 12:03huge group of people that do believe that Trump is most
- 12:07definitely part of the agenda, part of the deep state,
- 12:10whatever. And there's there's a handful of
- 12:11people that don't that actually think he's doing something to
- 12:16bring back, you know, this, this idea of national sovereignty and
- 12:21all of that. Maybe he is.
- 12:24I mean, I I don't necessarily think the agenda has their
- 12:27finger in every single pie. No, and that's the point,
- 12:32because you also inadvertently now made a false dichotomy by
- 12:37saying that, you know, he's either part of the agenda or he
- 12:42is the savior. But what about 1/3 option or a
- 12:45fourth option? What if he really is just, you
- 12:48know, a blockhead who is loved by millions of Americans, but
- 12:54because he's a blockade and and filled with hubris, he's easily
- 12:58played by those around him? Oh, yeah, yeah, sure.
- 13:02Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was just, I was just doing the
- 13:06false on purpose. Now I, you know, because they're
- 13:10the two extremes and you're absolutely right.
- 13:13I mean, all of this stuff could be like the chemtrails going
- 13:17back to that. Yeah.
- 13:18They. Just may not be anything at all.
- 13:20What the, the, the polarization that is accepted.
- 13:26It's either this, just like you were saying earlier, it's either
- 13:29this plan to kill everybody or it's not at all.
- 13:33It's it's just smoke coming out of planes for some stupid
- 13:38reason. But yeah, it could be something
- 13:41in between. I mean, you know, I don't know
- 13:42what that would be, but. Well, I mean, a problem that I
- 13:44have with with with the conspiratorial minded people
- 13:49also is that everything is far too binary.
- 13:54They somehow don't understand complex systems, right?
- 13:58And complexity is a huge part of life.
- 14:03Huge. You know, I am not a fan of
- 14:05Occam's Razor. I, I never have been.
- 14:09I mean, I may be an idiot for saying that, but you know,
- 14:12there, there certainly is. But you hear that all the time.
- 14:14You hear people say, well, this is the simplest explanation for
- 14:18this. So Occam's Razor, it must be the
- 14:21truth. And it's like, I'm a, I'm a very
- 14:24firm believer in complexity and chaos and this idea that things
- 14:29are not as nicely put in a row. I mean, you hear about, I can't
- 14:34remember who it was that did this, but there was somebody
- 14:36mathematically that was going on about measuring coastlines and
- 14:41how that you can't do that with any kind of accuracy at all
- 14:45because the resolution changes. I mean, you're going to start
- 14:48measuring the the width of a grain of sand that could be part
- 14:51of that coastline that you're measuring.
- 14:54There's a term for that I I can't remember.
- 14:56Yes, and, and, and basically the conclusion was you can't
- 15:00actually know the, the, the, the, the length of a coastline
- 15:05around the country, for example, right.
- 15:07You can't. Yeah, you can't.
- 15:08And I think that applies to everything.
- 15:10I mean, the the complexity of any of these things.
- 15:12Trump is bad. Trump is good.
- 15:14It's like it's somewhere in between, yes, and that's a
- 15:18simplistic example, I know, because sometimes that that
- 15:23complexity doesn't matter. Yes, it doesn't.
- 15:26It doesn't have it. Like it doesn't matter if the
- 15:28grain of sand is going to change the the number you put on the
- 15:31coastline, the length, you know, but something could.
- 15:38Part of the, the whole notion of complexity is that you can have
- 15:43simplicity within complexity also.
- 15:45So you you can have things that appear as simply as they are,
- 15:51and then you can have things that are not as they seem.
- 15:55But it's it's too. It's too black and white to
- 15:58simply say everything is not as it seems.
- 16:05Yeah, absolutely. It's it's much.
- 16:08Yeah. That's way too simplistic.
- 16:10Well, let me give you an example.
- 16:12I am sitting here and you are sitting there.
- 16:15That that is as it seems. I'm not, I'm not a, I'm not some
- 16:20sort of reptilian with a, you know, with a face mask on.
- 16:24Well, how do I know that? Well then, then we can get into
- 16:29into AQ and. AI know you're I mean you're
- 16:35getting into some deep stuff there with with like quantum
- 16:38realities and the idea the consciousness and the idea of
- 16:42creating your own reality and and all of that I mean you
- 16:46could. That's what Jeff.
- 16:47Yeah. So.
- 16:48So that's what Jeff Berwick said on my show.
- 16:50Who? Jeff Berwick, he was talking
- 16:53about exactly that. Yeah, well, you know, that's a
- 16:56consideration. I I don't think it does us a lot
- 16:59of good to dive into that because it's, it's like, you
- 17:04know, we're, we're I, I think the only time it does this good
- 17:06is to realize that fear is, is a construct.
- 17:11Like the idea of fear of, I mean, most fear is, is it kind
- 17:17of concludes with the, the fear of losing your body, the fear of
- 17:20dying or the fear of pain. And those are constructs.
- 17:25They're, they're not, they're not real.
- 17:27There, there is no, there is no, I mean there, there's a reality
- 17:32to die and there's a reality to, to pain, but it's not the
- 17:35ultimate, it's not what people think it is.
- 17:38So if we are creating all this, all this material imagery
- 17:43through consciousness, through the collapsing of the, of the
- 17:46wave potential and all of that, it doesn't really do us much
- 17:52good because we live the life we're living for whatever
- 17:55reason. Now, if we act out of fear, it
- 17:59can have an impact on, on what does matter to us.
- 18:04You know, if if we're always terrified we're going to get
- 18:08sucked up when we're actually creating that ourselves, there
- 18:13should be No Fear around it. But that you're getting into
- 18:18weird stuff. I, I had the pleasure of having,
- 18:21I had Gavin de Becker on my podcast a few years ago.
- 18:25Most people don't know who he is, but you look him up on
- 18:27YouTube, you'll see Ben Rogan a few times and he wrote a very
- 18:32interesting book called The Gift of Fear, and he argues that it
- 18:38that he argues that that fear is actually something that keeps us
- 18:44alive. It, well, it is if, if being
- 18:47alive is is your prime directive, it definitely is.
- 18:51I mean, we're designed that way. We're designed to fear harm and
- 18:54fear losing a limb or if you're losing our life or whatever.
- 18:58I mean absolutely, but that may not be reality.
- 19:03It it, you know, reality, physical reality, yes, but not
- 19:09not true reality. I mean, what is the line from
- 19:11Course in Miracles? It's nothing real can be
- 19:15threatened. Nothing unreal exists.
- 19:19Therein lies the peace of God, which is really kind of grasping
- 19:23this whole idea. It's like saying that, that
- 19:26nothing, nothing that is truly real, not, not like what we
- 19:30think is real, you know, physical reality, but what is
- 19:32truly real cannot be threatened. So there's No Fear around it and
- 19:38nothing unreal actually exists. It's an illusion.
- 19:44It's a creation of, of consciousness in order to
- 19:47participate in this physical duality of life where, where we
- 19:54have edges like, you know, my body stops here and this phone
- 20:00has edges to it. I can pick it up and move it and
- 20:03whatever. So therefore the, the quantum
- 20:05wave is collapsed through our consciousness so that this is a
- 20:10thing. But our bodies are the same way.
- 20:13We, we tend to think obviously that our bodies are who we are,
- 20:20but they're not. And the, what they truly are
- 20:24cannot be threatened because it's the only thing that's real.
- 20:27Does that make sense? It's getting a bit of woo.
- 20:32Woo. Well, it is very woo woo, but.
- 20:35But then who? I mean then who are?
- 20:38You, your spirit, you are, you are one.
- 20:42I mean, you know, if you, if you follow that, that we're all one,
- 20:46we're not a thing, but God or whatever you want to call it is,
- 20:52is one thought, one intention 11 whatever.
- 20:59What I mean, I, it's, it's hard to say 'cause you usually say
- 21:02things and things, you know, that material thing.
- 21:06And we are that we're, we're essentially collapsed into being
- 21:14with a faith as a human with a body that is kind of universally
- 21:19similar and what we call a brain, which is an organ in our
- 21:24head. That's it's more like ATV
- 21:26receiver than than it is a thing that creates.
- 21:32So that's what that's what we physically are on the physical
- 21:35earth. And yeah, we have a job to do
- 21:37here, I think. I mean, I don't know if it's a
- 21:39job or it's just to exist. So we want to, we want to
- 21:43maintain this so that we can do that.
- 21:46So we don't want to just walk off a Cliff or fall out of a
- 21:50window on a 20 story building. We, we don't want to die.
- 21:54So the physical self is designed in such a way that we thirst and
- 21:58we eat and, you know, we take care of ourselves to some degree
- 22:02so that we don't just drop dead because we fear that this will
- 22:06go away and therefore we will go away.
- 22:11So, you know, that's good. I mean, otherwise everybody will
- 22:16be dropped, dropping off, jumping off at cliffs.
- 22:19It's it's, you know, why not? But so we're built, we're we're
- 22:26built to be fearful of things that will threaten our bodies.
- 22:31And I don't know what good it does to go on about that, but,
- 22:38well, I mean. So what's interesting there is
- 22:41that you, you're correct when you say what, what good is
- 22:46there? Because this is what happens
- 22:47when you get analysis paralysis and, and it for me, there's,
- 22:55there's an overlap. It dovetails with the
- 22:59everybody's out to get us narrative.
- 23:04I'm not paranoid. Everybody really is out to get
- 23:07us. But it doesn't, it's not very
- 23:12helpful either. And.
- 23:15Well, it depends on define helpful.
- 23:17I mean, what do you? Mean.
- 23:19Well, let me at some point, Jeff, you have to wake up in the
- 23:21morning in the morning and smile.
- 23:25Well, yeah, I mean, that's that's kind of the essence of
- 23:29it. So you can get up in the morning
- 23:32and smile every day if you don't pay attention to any information
- 23:36that comes in other than your surrounding, other than what's
- 23:40within reach. Like literally, I mean, I'm not
- 23:45worrying right now about the car speeding out on the freeway that
- 23:49if I stood in front of would kill me.
- 23:51I'm not even thinking about that.
- 23:54So is that the best place to be? Is is only concern yourself with
- 24:01your direct surroundings, your family, your, you know, maybe,
- 24:07maybe extend it out a little bit to your community, to your
- 24:10neighbors. Certainly you have to extend it
- 24:13out far enough to your grocery store if you want to eat, but
- 24:18this is this is the essence of living off the grid.
- 24:20This is this is what that's all about to find a community that
- 24:24can sustain itself, you know, through growing food or whatever
- 24:29it might be and is safe enough that the external world, all the
- 24:34bullshit that's going on in it is, is not going to affect you.
- 24:38Now, you can do that to a degree.
- 24:40You can't do it completely because you got chemtrails.
- 24:42You got to worry about, you know, there's there's, you can't
- 24:46totally protect yourself. And then of course, the
- 24:49government doesn't like that. You know, we have a lot of
- 24:53examples of things like Ruby Ridge and Waco and stuff like
- 24:57that where the government doesn't like the idea that
- 24:59people are trying to collect rainwater and crap.
- 25:04But I don't know, I mean what that?
- 25:09No, I think what I'm getting at is you can have a discussion
- 25:15about, let's say, I don't know, a great song from the 80s and
- 25:19someone will say to you, that's a distraction, you know, this is
- 25:23actual real stuff to talk about. Why are we worried about crap
- 25:26like that? Now that's just bread and
- 25:27circuses. And I really absolutely hate
- 25:30that. Because then just slit your
- 25:35wrists, you know, at some, at some point you need to, you need
- 25:38to break out of all that pessimism and negativity and you
- 25:45need to be able to see, you know, the bunnies and you need
- 25:48to be able to see the, the rainbow.
- 25:52You know, not everything is a distraction.
- 25:55We are designed also to be entertained, even for a short
- 26:01while. I think the only thing I agree
- 26:05with you 100%, I think the only thing we're designed to do is to
- 26:09take care of what we have control over, to take care of
- 26:13what's within arm's reach, like what I was just describing.
- 26:16I think that's what we were designed to do.
- 26:18I don't think we were designed to take in all of this junk that
- 26:23we take in now. Some people don't.
- 26:26You and I do. So the lesson for you is to stop
- 26:30doing what you do for a living, OK?
- 26:32Because you, you, that's what you do.
- 26:34You take in. But you can balance it.
- 26:37You can balance it. You have to balance it.
- 26:39I think anybody that tells you something like don't listen to
- 26:43that song and don't comment on it because it's not, it's
- 26:46surface and it's garbage. You know, I, I think they're the
- 26:49ones that have the problem because they, they, they're
- 26:53trying to bring you into a state of being like diligent like 100%
- 26:59of the time, like 24/7 to concern yourself with what's
- 27:05going on outside of your reach, which I don't think it's
- 27:08natural. I mean, humans up until very
- 27:12recently did not do that at all. They didn't know what the hell
- 27:16was going on. They didn't even know what was
- 27:17going on five miles away. And, and you know, we're not
- 27:22designed to do that. Now, if we do it, if we decide
- 27:25to do it, we have to be very careful not to allow it to
- 27:29completely occupy our instinctive system, to control
- 27:34it. You know, our system is designed
- 27:38to control what is around us, to keep us safe and keep our loved
- 27:42ones safe. And whatever.
- 27:44We have to know that when we start concerning ourselves,
- 27:46what's going on in Gaza or in Europe or whatever, we have no
- 27:50control over if, if we've chosen to partake in it with the
- 27:56information for whatever reason, like do a podcast or to write
- 28:00articles or whatever. We have to be very, very careful
- 28:03not to allow it to take over that instinctive compulsion to
- 28:10manipulate it. And that's what you're doing
- 28:13listening to the song and like going, oh, this is a really cool
- 28:16song or whatever. You're, you're pulling yourself
- 28:18away from that compulsion to control these things you have no
- 28:22control over. And that's healthy.
- 28:25If you don't do that and you get, you get sucked into this
- 28:28insanity where you lay awake at night and think about Putin or
- 28:33Trump, even then you're, you're not doing yourself a healthy
- 28:39service. You're not taking care of
- 28:40yourself because you're not supposed to, because you're not
- 28:44designed to try to control things that are not within your
- 28:50control. Well, I mean, that's what
- 28:52Stephen Kobe wrote about in his fantastic book, The Seven Habits
- 28:56of Highly Affected People. If you just, if you just sit in
- 29:00doom scroll the whole day long, you become absolutely useless.
- 29:03You're not, you're not effective at all.
- 29:06And I remember when I was having, I had lunch with Zooby
- 29:09last year. You know my show a few times.
- 29:12He lives in, in Dubai and I was over there for, for, for a few
- 29:19days and he said to me, we're not supposed to consume as much
- 29:27media as we do now, not just media information.
- 29:32And you, you made the point a moment ago, you said, you know,
- 29:34people didn't know what was going on five miles away.
- 29:38By the way, I don't, I don't know what, what 5 miles is.
- 29:40I'm working kilometers, but I I I assume.
- 29:44I assume it's quite false. Sorry.
- 29:46It's what? It's not false.
- 29:48It's not anything longer than your arm length.
- 29:53I don't know, you know, I don't know what the conversion is.
- 29:56I also, I don't know, it's like 1.7 or two or something, I don't
- 29:59know. Now let's let's say 10
- 30:01kilometers away. But I mean, and he's right, you
- 30:05know, we aren't, we aren't designed to absorb so much
- 30:09information and so much data. I mean, at some point something
- 30:13has to break, and that's us. Well, yeah, I mean,
- 30:18psychologically, there's no question about that.
- 30:21It's like if you look at primal cultures or or ancient cultures,
- 30:25it's like anything they didn't understand, they made something
- 30:28up about it that that they had some some semblance of control
- 30:32over. Like like if you walked out into
- 30:34the lake and, or the stream and there was an alligator and it
- 30:37ate you, the other people in the tribe would like come up with
- 30:41some reason why that happened and something they could
- 30:45control. Like they, they didn't worship
- 30:47the crocodile God enough. They didn't bring him any
- 30:50bananas or whatnot. And so, so they make an
- 30:53adjustment to that to, to try to control it.
- 30:57And, you know, obviously we don't think today that work.
- 31:01We don't know. Maybe it did.
- 31:04It's like I, I believe those kinds of things do work.
- 31:09It's not a cause and effect materialist machinery mechanism
- 31:14that makes it work, but there's something to it.
- 31:16And you know, we don't do that as much now, obviously, you
- 31:22know, if if something bad happens to me, I I don't
- 31:25necessarily believe, although I do somewhere in my core self
- 31:29believe that that maybe I wasn't worshipping properly or what
- 31:34We're not in alignment with truth or in alignment with
- 31:38source, whatever you want to say.
- 31:41That's a whole another topic. We could go on forever.
- 31:44It's about but but just going back to this control thing.
- 31:48Yeah, absolutely. If you, if you bring in more
- 31:53information that makes you believe you should control you
- 31:59are, you're going to damage yourself psychologically because
- 32:03psychologically we're not designed to, to deal with that.
- 32:06We certainly are have have certainly learned over time to
- 32:10deal with it better than we would have.
- 32:12I mean, if you think about grabbing somebody from like the
- 32:141200s, let's say, and dropping them on the freeway in a car,
- 32:19they would probably lose their mind very, very quickly, like
- 32:23literally, you know, because they couldn't deal with it.
- 32:27They couldn't deal with all of the things flying around them
- 32:29that we do deal with. I just wrote an article about
- 32:32denial, which is kind of touching on this, that we, yeah,
- 32:36we do have a natural sense of, of denial in order to to
- 32:41accommodate the information that that we received that we have no
- 32:45control over. Like if we're in a car, in an
- 32:47airplane or whatever, there, there has to be something that
- 32:50that comes into place that essentially ignores the reality
- 32:54of the situation and then ignores our instinctive response
- 32:59to it that that was built in to us.
- 33:03And that's what this healthy denial is.
- 33:06And we're seeing it now where we see we we get too much
- 33:10information. I mean, we shouldn't have the
- 33:12information at our fingertips that we have with all of this,
- 33:16what's going on in the world, what's even going on in our own
- 33:19cities, you know, with, with all the horrors, with murder,
- 33:25pedophilia, what whatever it might be, this whole Epstein
- 33:28thing. I mean, it's, it's like that
- 33:30information. Yes, you can argue it the other
- 33:33way around. Or if we didn't have the
- 33:35information, we would never be able to do anything, anything
- 33:38about it. And there is something we can do
- 33:40about it to some degree. We can insist that people be be
- 33:44brought up on charges. We can insist that people, you
- 33:48know, have a better, healthier standard of, of living, the
- 33:53people that have control that, that actually the authorities,
- 33:57the politicians and whatever. So in that sense, it's a good
- 34:01thing. I'm not saying that we should
- 34:02just be ignorance this bliss and just live through our lives with
- 34:05absolutely no information input. I think it's kind of getting to
- 34:09that point though. I, I don't know.
- 34:12I mean, it almost feels like though well.
- 34:14Yes, I think so too, because. Yeah.
- 34:16Even people in my circles go, Nah, I'm tuning out, I've had
- 34:21enough. It's too much.
- 34:23And that's that's the counterbalance.
- 34:25That's right. That's right.
- 34:27Or if you do, or if you don't counter that much, you you, you.
- 34:31Do. What I do, you listen to songs
- 34:35or watch a movie or something and then when then when someone
- 34:38says, ah, but you know, that's, that's a distraction.
- 34:41Yes, that's exactly correct. It is a distraction, and that's
- 34:44what I want because if I don't have that distraction, I might
- 34:48end up on antidepressants or taking pills or something.
- 34:51You have to counterbalance that huge amount of information
- 34:56that's flowing into US every day.
- 34:58You, you can, if you, if you choose to be a human being, you
- 35:03know you can if you want to devote your life and everything
- 35:07there is about you to the cause to be a soldier for the cause.
- 35:12Like you think just just metaphorically, all of the men
- 35:15that went to war, that went on crusades throughout history,
- 35:20they essentially gave up their life and and were ready to
- 35:24literally die for what they were doing.
- 35:26I mean even as recent as well going on right now, I mean a war
- 35:31in like in Europe. But it's like.
- 35:37Well, no, no, not everybody's the same.
- 35:39Not everybody chooses that. Some people are forced into it,
- 35:42obviously, but not everybody chooses that and and to bring it
- 35:46back from, you know, from a war situation to say like what we
- 35:50do, I know of what I do. It's like I believe as weird as
- 35:56as this is going to say, I believe I am answering a
- 35:59calling. I believe that the purpose in my
- 36:02life at this time in my life is to engage myself, not to the
- 36:07point where I psychologically burnout, but to a point where I
- 36:11do focus on it. And my wife doesn't want me to.
- 36:14I mean, she like says, why are you doing this?
- 36:16Why are you looking for all of this?
- 36:18And I go, I don't know, it's just what I do.
- 36:21It's just what I'm driven to do. Maybe one day that'll change and
- 36:27I won't be driven to do it anymore.
- 36:28I'll be driven to go sit on a beach somewhere until I expire
- 36:33and then I'll be fine, you know. But I, I do think if you engaged
- 36:37in it, and again, without fear, I think fear is the key thing
- 36:41that causes the problem. I mean, psychologically, we're
- 36:45designed not to take in this kind of information.
- 36:47We need a break from it. But aside from that, you know, I
- 36:52mean, I always think about Rachel's line and the Bible
- 36:55where she goes out and I can't remember the details of it, but
- 36:58she goes out to battle and her line is if I perish, I perish
- 37:03that it's like, OK, I'm not afraid of this.
- 37:06I'm not afraid of perishing for this, 'cause if I do, I do.
- 37:10If I don't, I don't, great, but I don't care.
- 37:13I don't think everybody has to be that way by any means.
- 37:16I don't think this guy telling me not to listen to songs, you
- 37:19know, that it's a distraction. It's like that's his choice or.
- 37:23Her choice and then and then. The best is Yeah, but dude, all
- 37:27right, I get it. You you need you need to have a
- 37:30distraction, but don't watch movies, you know, go for a walk.
- 37:33Well, how about don't you prescribe to me?
- 37:36Yeah. Well, that's a projection.
- 37:40Yeah, he's, I mean, I don't know the guy or anything.
- 37:43I do. I live, I live in Africa.
- 37:45I go for a lot of walks. We have a lot of sunshine here,
- 37:49we have a lot of broken infrastructure and we have many
- 37:52opportunities to go into nature. Don't worry about that.
- 37:55You, you don't have. You don't have to tell me to go
- 37:57outside. Right, right.
- 38:00No, it's like anytime anybody's telling you what they think you
- 38:04should do, that's that's a projection of their own, their
- 38:07own inadequacies or in psychological holes and
- 38:12whatever. I mean it, it almost, I mean, we
- 38:14all do it. I mean, I'm not criticizing
- 38:15anybody that does it. It's, it's like anytime we think
- 38:19we know what's best for somebody, even with it's obvious
- 38:22stuff, if I mean, you can inform people, you can say, hey, I read
- 38:27an article that said, you know, looking at movies is, is not as
- 38:31good as going out for a while. I mean, you can, you can do
- 38:33that. But anytime you start projecting
- 38:35onto them, you're not doing the right thing.
- 38:37And I know what the right thing is.
- 38:38And this is what it is. You're, you're dealing with
- 38:42projections that not, not anything really constructive.
- 38:47It's more about them and their in inability to kind of
- 38:51integrate their own, whatever it is, you know?
- 38:57And This is why I think it's so important to always focus first,
- 39:05inwardly before outwardly. You can't win any wars if you
- 39:13only focus outwardly. No, no, no, you're right.
- 39:23You're right. But I did tell me what you mean
- 39:25by wars though. Like information.
- 39:27Wars. Then how do you how do you solve
- 39:32that inwardly? Well, how can I think clearly if
- 39:40I am eating badly, sleeping badly, fighting with my wife all
- 39:47day long so that I'm perpetually angry?
- 39:51Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's, that's what I thought.
- 39:53Well, I wasn't even sure that's what you meant, but that
- 39:55absolutely 100%. I mean, you can't the, the
- 39:59structure of of your system is or it is dependent on the
- 40:05structure of your system to do anything in the world.
- 40:09And you know, you don't count anymore.
- 40:11You're not allowed to. To to, to be like Rachel.
- 40:15You, you can't go out and conquer the beast anymore.
- 40:19You're, you're not allowed to do that.
- 40:20You have a family and you've. Got to choose your battles.
- 40:25Well, you don't have that choice.
- 40:26Your your number one priority is your son and and if you get any
- 40:31more of them. Come and my wife.
- 40:34Well, not, not as much, but yes, if you choose that, but you
- 40:40know, again, a a partner is, is autonomous.
- 40:44They're independent to some degree.
- 40:46I mean, certainly your structure of your relationship is, is you
- 40:49know, you can, you can decide that that's your position and
- 40:53whatever and that's fine. But but in reality, it's not the
- 40:58same as having a dependent. You have a dependent being that
- 41:02their their health and and their survival is dependent on you.
- 41:10So you know, you can you can do what you do to some degree,
- 41:14obviously, because you do have to take care of yourself to to
- 41:16some point. But if there's ever a choice,
- 41:20you know, you don't, you don't have that choice, I don't think.
- 41:23I mean, that's my opinion. It's a shit but, but I think
- 41:27archetypally, yeah. Yeah, I mean, This is why I get
- 41:29frustrated when people criticize.
- 41:34Let's say I do a few episodes on diet.
- 41:39You know when, when there's a war going on in the Middle East,
- 41:44you know, how can you be talking about about steaks?
- 41:47But I talk about steaks because AI will say I'm human #1 and I
- 41:53enjoy eating. I don't mind you, but I enjoy
- 41:55eating. It's, it's a part of Help me.
- 41:59It's, it's a part of being alive.
- 42:02And also I want to eat in the best way possible so that as I
- 42:06just said a moment ago, so I can think in the best way possible.
- 42:11You have to cost a wide net if you want to put all the puzzle
- 42:16pieces together. Well, absolutely.
- 42:20I mean you. You are a material being.
- 42:23And a material being requires certain care in order to
- 42:27maintain its its its existence. I mean, both physiologically and
- 42:34mentally and emotionally and spiritually.
- 42:37I believe so, yeah. You, you have to keep your just
- 42:41like a warrior has to keep up his body or he'll he'll be
- 42:44splashed apart immediately. Well, I mean, the truth is, the
- 42:50truth is, Todd, that we are living in a material world and I
- 42:55am a Material Girl. Oh boy.
- 42:58Well, you're a girl now, aren't you?
- 43:00Didn't you transform? You transitioned.
- 43:05I identify you. Can't tell the difference
- 43:07anymore. They all look the same and it's
- 43:11a whole point and then get everybody to look the same.
- 43:15This is the this is the thing. This is the thing life is a this
- 43:19is this is the beautiful horseshoe to something we said
- 43:22at the beginning, right? Complex systems.
- 43:26You can't be a 1 trick pony and think you're going to win
- 43:29information wars. No, you know, going back to that
- 43:36projection idea, it's, it's like, it's one thing, like let's
- 43:40say somebody decides to know nothing about anything other
- 43:45than what's going on in their block or in their neighborhood.
- 43:49They don't want to know anything about the world, Nothing.
- 43:52And then you have somebody else. That's fine.
- 43:55See, you just said it. That's fine.
- 43:59And the problem comes in when somebody else comes along that's
- 44:03not doing that and points a finger at them and says you
- 44:06can't be like this, you can't do this.
- 44:10The same goes reversed. And this is where you know, and
- 44:14you've read my writing. I use the sheep and true thing
- 44:17all the time and I get in a lot of trouble for it.
- 44:19This idea, the sheep, my problem with sheep is not so much that
- 44:24they're sheep and they're following the tail in front of
- 44:27them, it's that they're not aware of the truth.
- 44:30That's one thing. The other is that they come
- 44:32after me for not being a sheep. That's where the problem is.
- 44:38And I don't come after them for being a sheep.
- 44:42I mean, I, I do on a broad sense, I think that that the
- 44:47more ignorant people are, the more problem there is in the
- 44:51world. Because obviously a lot of our
- 44:53problems would be solved if people were thinking and were
- 44:56aware. But that's as a group, as
- 44:58individuals. I have a lot of sheep around me
- 45:00and my family and whatever that I adore, I love them.
- 45:04I would never their sheepness doesn't change my love for them
- 45:09as my friends and my family. It does for them though, which
- 45:14which is the part that I just lose it over.
- 45:16And OK, so yeah, I got a problem there.
- 45:20But, you know, this idea that that that the love for me and
- 45:24the care for me as a person is, is predicated on whether I
- 45:29believe certain things or not or believe certain things about how
- 45:33I live my life or what's important to me or whatever.
- 45:37And I think there's certain levels of that that are
- 45:39unnatural. I think it's unnatural to be a
- 45:41serial killer or it's unnatural to be a pedophile or whatever.
- 45:44And I can see people making judgments based on those things,
- 45:50but not on whether I support Trump, which I don't, but
- 45:54whether I support him or not, things like that or not even
- 45:58support him, but just not say black and white, everything he
- 46:01does is evil. I don't do that.
- 46:05And yet I'm judged for that. And I think that's one of the
- 46:10major differences between people that thinks they like.
- 46:13And I'm assuming you think the same way because of what you're
- 46:15saying here, but think this particular way that it's like,
- 46:19as long as you're not interfering directly with me and
- 46:24my life and my family, I'm not going to oppose what you do or
- 46:30think. And.
- 46:34Yes, yes, I think. Yes, I think the.
- 46:38Law. Well, I shouldn't I?
- 46:39I said that wrong. I don't mean oppose what you do
- 46:41or think, but oppose you as a. Yeah, I, I largely agree with
- 46:45that. I mean, I think that is probably
- 46:48the core sort of anarchist libertarian position.
- 46:52It's you know, it's it's the what do they call it the non
- 46:57violence approach or something like that?
- 46:59Yeah, I don't know where it's basically you do you and I and
- 47:04I'll do me kind of thing. Right.
- 47:07But reality isn't like that though, because what you do does
- 47:12sometimes affect me. You know, like for example, if
- 47:14you if you pee into a stream. No, that doesn't.
- 47:19That example doesn't work because because they do.
- 47:22That all the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, me too.
- 47:27You mean downstream somebody drinking the water you peed in?
- 47:31Yeah, I don't suppose that's a very good example.
- 47:33OK, I can't think of an example but.
- 47:36But that's let's just stay with that for just a second.
- 47:38Yeah, you're absolutely right. You should go up to that person
- 47:41and say, you know what? I drink the water here.
- 47:42You're peeing in it. You got to stop doing that.
- 47:44That doesn't mean I hate them. It doesn't mean I'm going to
- 47:47kill them. I think what I'm I mean I might
- 47:50kill them. Sure.
- 47:52I'm what? I'm.
- 47:53Getting I'm getting at the. What I'm getting at is the
- 47:57butterfly effect. I think that our actions can
- 48:00create consequences that we aren't aware of.
- 48:09Yeah, I mean again. And maybe I I was stupid or
- 48:16didn't make it clear. Whatever I I'm really talking
- 48:18more about, I mean, look at war. The the purpose of war is to
- 48:24kill people that represent a country that isn't doing right
- 48:30by the other country that's trying to kill the people in the
- 48:33country. And it's like, yeah, OK, well,
- 48:37there could be really good reason why you want that other
- 48:41country to do the right thing, not to pee in the stream or, or
- 48:44whatever it might be, but you're killing people in order to
- 48:50accomplish that, in order to show you're more powerful and
- 48:53you could kill everybody. And I mean, that's a that's a
- 48:56loose analogy, but it's it's like what I'm saying is that
- 48:59yes, people can think and do the wrong thing, but you don't hate
- 49:06them for it. You dislike what they're doing
- 49:09and you want to change what they're doing.
- 49:11They're doing unless they're totally outside of the realm of,
- 49:14of human decency. And that's where you can get
- 49:16into a lot of argument and you know, well, this isn't decent
- 49:21what they're doing, so they should be dead, you know,
- 49:23whatever. But I think, I think you're
- 49:25saying the same thing. I mean, I, I think you're,
- 49:28you're going into the problem of, no, you shouldn't
- 49:31necessarily be fine with, with what people are doing or how
- 49:36people think or whatever, but it doesn't mean you, you can't love
- 49:39them. And I know, you know, if you
- 49:42don't know them well, it's like, who gives a shit if they're from
- 49:44the tribe next door 10 kilometers away, you know, just
- 49:49go in war with them and kill them all and then you don't have
- 49:51a problem anymore. I mean, that's how it's been
- 49:53done for millennia. But I know what I'm saying is a
- 49:58bit idealistic, but I'm really using more examples of people I
- 50:01know, not the tribe down the street, but the people that I
- 50:05know and that I love, people in my family, people that are
- 50:09friends I've had for, I mean, I've told you this a million
- 50:11times. I've had a whole handful of
- 50:14friends, like very close friends who have completely rejected me.
- 50:18And because of the COVID thing during that time five years ago.
- 50:22And I have two of them. I always cite and say they
- 50:25actually wrote to me on Facebook and said, I hope you get COVID
- 50:28and die. Literally said that to me.
- 50:30Now, whether they really meant it or not, I don't know.
- 50:33But you don't say that to somebody.
- 50:35And my views on the on taking a drug in my arm, who cares what I
- 50:43think about that? Now, of course, the agenda has
- 50:46tried to put it in everybody's minds that anybody that doesn't
- 50:49take the vaccine is just the same as somebody who wants to
- 50:52rape you or come into your house and kill your grandmother or
- 50:56whatever it might be. That they're one and the same
- 50:58thing and that's where you like go.
- 51:01What is it with you? Why do you think that way?
- 51:03Why is it more important to you to be the person that cares for
- 51:08me and loves me as a friend or whatever?
- 51:11That it's more important that you follow some vaporous idea
- 51:16that the government has that if you don't do this, everybody on
- 51:21Earth is going to drop dead. And that's what we were fed.
- 51:24And that obviously isn't true. And of course, nobody turns
- 51:27around and goes, Gee, that didn't happen.
- 51:30I mean, it's like. All of us that didn't get get.
- 51:32Vaccinated. We should be dead and we should
- 51:35have killed a lot of people in the process, according to what
- 51:39we were told, and that didn't happen.
- 51:42But nobody's coming. Back to me that I'd lost his
- 51:44friends and say no, Gee, you know I wasn't quite right.
- 51:47I'm sorry about that anyway. I know that's all old news, but.
- 51:54No. Well, I mean, it'll always be.
- 51:55Relevant because there. Are always people dying
- 51:58suddenly? Of what?
- 52:02Playing tennis. Oh OK, yeah, or taking the dog
- 52:07for a walk. Yep.
- 52:14Or chemtrails. Definitely chemtrails.
- 52:19I saw a guy the other day. Sucking in the dust.
- 52:22Coming out of an airplane and he dropped dead, No.
- 52:27That that was anti China. Propaganda, right?
- 52:31We've got a lot. Of that going on, of course
- 52:33they, they brainwashed you when you were over there.
- 52:36They did all those Chinese people.
- 52:38Listen, I want to go back there have.
- 52:40You must go to. Shanghai, it is an incredible
- 52:42city. Oh, I'd love to, yeah.
- 52:45It is now now. That I'm part.
- 52:47Chinese living in Canada. You know, this is an interesting
- 52:51point, I think. Most of the world is part
- 52:53Chinese now of. Course, why not?
- 53:03No, listen, it's it's. A beautiful city.
- 53:04It's a it's a mega city. So you have to understand that
- 53:07you're going to make the comparisons, you know, you know,
- 53:10you can't compare it to like going to, I don't know, Iceland
- 53:13or Siberia or something. But you, you go there to
- 53:17experience an incredible city, I suspect.
- 53:21I suspect your side of the world has a few great cities too.
- 53:25I don't know, I. I don't really have.
- 53:27Much desire to go to Canada. Canada used to be, well, the the
- 53:33problem with. Canada now is the political part
- 53:36of it, of course. And and again the brainwashing.
- 53:39I mean, it's like it, it seems like nobody can get away from
- 53:42that as as a mass of people. It's like, so that's a problem.
- 53:48But you know, Canadians in Canada itself has always been
- 53:51Canada's had a really incredible position because they're
- 53:56essentially taking care of militarily and everything by the
- 53:59United States that they've had the opportunity to really grow
- 54:04and evolve only only from kind of an idealistic utopian almost
- 54:09state. And so they, they, they reflect
- 54:13that. I mean, they're good people,
- 54:15they're loving, they're caring. And that's the stereotype
- 54:20they've been labeled as well, but it's true.
- 54:24And so they're also very, you know, they're very sheep like
- 54:28they can be manipulated relatively easily.
- 54:32And so we're seeing this hate Trump thing.
- 54:34And again, going back to Trump, I mean, he's definitely been
- 54:37labeled as the thing to hate. Anything that goes wrong, it's
- 54:40his fault and rather than take responsibility for it yourself
- 54:46and deal with it is what it actually is.
- 54:49Even even if you can be sure that Trump is nuts and and
- 54:53selfish and all of those things, you can still deal with what's
- 54:56going on without focusing your people to hate the United States
- 55:02because Trump in particular, but the United States in general.
- 55:05I I went back to Virginia for a week a while back.
- 55:09And when I came back, well, even when I went, there was only two
- 55:12cars in front of me at the border.
- 55:14And when I came back into Canada, the entire border with
- 55:18like 20 or so booths, immigration booths to go through
- 55:22a huge parking lot was totally empty.
- 55:25There wasn't a single person there.
- 55:27And that's the way Canadians fight back.
- 55:32Yeah, Stupid ways that don't have any any influence at all.
- 55:39What's the population? Of Canada, I don't know.
- 55:43I think it's like 36 million. Something like that I think.
- 55:47I don't know, I could be totally wrong.
- 55:49Could be 10 times I I always. Have in my head it's like 36. 37
- 55:55million you should have AI. Right there and ask it.
- 56:00No, I won't. I won't type.
- 56:01It in now. We're coming in for the for the
- 56:04final lap anyway, so I'll go I'll go with your I'll go with
- 56:09your your figures. OK, we.
- 56:13We really have chatted. About lots and nothing.
- 56:17That's right, the. Classic spitballing, but then.
- 56:22But then we have to horseshoe. Back just to just to neaten
- 56:26everything up, we started off talking about chemtrails and I
- 56:31think there is a psychological aspect to that and I was
- 56:37thinking about this actually the other day that.
- 56:43Some folks with whom I. Interact will simply reject
- 56:49anything and everything that is considered mainstream, and if
- 56:54you accept anything that's mainstream, you're a normie.
- 56:58And I find that a false dichotomy.
- 57:02I think it's a trap because not everything again is that binary.
- 57:10I think you're hitting on probably one of the most.
- 57:13Important things to be talked about and I think that's one
- 57:16reason why I like you so much because I feel very isolated in
- 57:21being that way that what you're what you're presenting here and
- 57:27of course on the on the I'm sorry folks, I apologize that
- 57:31people are offended by me using the word sheep.
- 57:33It's just a word to kind of talk about dichotomies to, to show a,
- 57:39a different mindset. Not everybody that's in it is
- 57:42100% in it. I, I realize that.
- 57:44And, and I mean, what you're saying is that you do.
- 57:47Need people who have a herd like mindset also.
- 57:51You do need them, yes. I.
- 57:55I I think so. I think for for an idealistic
- 57:58culture to function well, you have to have an uncorrupt no.
- 58:03But I mean, imagine, imagine. Yeah, imagine.
- 58:06You're in a village. And everybody is this sort of
- 58:09anarchist, non sheep type person and there's there's this huge
- 58:12fire and and they don't know about it yet.
- 58:15And you go in saying, guys, there's a huge fire come out.
- 58:19Now what you do want is a herd like mindset.
- 58:21You want everybody to come out of the village.
- 58:24But if all of them are ladies, sort of like up yours, I'm not
- 58:27listening to you. Who are you to tell me what to
- 58:29do? And then they all burn.
- 58:34There you go, you got rid of them.
- 58:37No, absolutely. But see, there's an there's an
- 58:40there's an assumption there that's that's vital.
- 58:42The assumption is, is that the people that are the leaders of a
- 58:47group of sheep are benevolent and and care about people.
- 58:51Sure, there's going to be Gray areas and everything, but that
- 58:55actually have a heart and care about people.
- 58:58I don't think that's universally true.
- 59:01I, I do think there's some politicians and whatever that
- 59:04actually do care about people. I'm not, I'm not doing what
- 59:07you're what you're saying. That's that's a problem.
- 59:10I'm not saying everybody, you know, but but most of them seem
- 59:15to be, I never used to believe this until recently, but most of
- 59:19them seem to have their own agenda now.
- 59:21Their agenda may be in their mind, benevolent.
- 59:26And this is something that, that our side doesn't like to think
- 59:29about. I mean, the New World Order and
- 59:31whatever they, they may have the right idea about keeping as many
- 59:35people alive that are working, that are, that are contributors
- 59:40to this culture and society and all of that.
- 59:43They, they may truly believe that this is the way to go.
- 59:46And it never has been. I mean, human beings don't work
- 59:49that way. They don't work in a utopian
- 59:51setting. I mean, communism has proven
- 59:54that. I mean, that was their ideal.
- 59:56You know, I've read a lot of Lennon's work and Lennon when he
- 59:59first started out and marks the same way.
- 1:00:01I mean, they had a benevolent idea about how culture should be
- 1:00:04run. And it is a good idea, but it
- 1:00:07doesn't work and. It's been proven.
- 1:00:11Again and again and again that it doesn't.
- 1:00:13So no matter how much they like to strut around saying that
- 1:00:16we're doing this for the good of the people, that just isn't
- 1:00:20human nature. It's never worked that way.
- 1:00:23And so. OK, Todd.
- 1:00:28Yes, Sir. How can I follow your work?
- 1:00:32Shrewviews.com it's my. Sub stack www.shrewviews Shrew
- 1:00:39is the little animal with the long nose and long story, but I
- 1:00:44got hundreds of articles there so we'd love to see you there.
- 1:00:47A lot of discussion and stuff, so it's a nice one.
- 1:00:52Speaking of Shrew I. I think I told you.
- 1:00:57This long time ago. So we go to the Kruger National
- 1:01:01Park at least once a year. It's I've often argued it's
- 1:01:06probably one of the best places in the world.
- 1:01:08Huge game park about the size of Israel and it's famous obviously
- 1:01:14for having the big 5, but now the average person doesn't know
- 1:01:17what the big 5 is, but it's it's the elephant, Buffalo, lion,
- 1:01:23leopard and rhino and and this. And there's a wonderful.
- 1:01:28Story behind how those 5 animals became known as the Big 5.
- 1:01:33I can also tell you that if you're interested, and we also
- 1:01:38have what's known as the. Little 5 and.
- 1:01:41This is more of a of an unofficial kind of it's more of
- 1:01:46a it's more of a trope, but but it's but it's nonetheless
- 1:01:49something that exists and a shrew is considered 1 of what
- 1:01:54that actually more specifically the elephant shrew, right.
- 1:01:58Well, that's the one. That's the one we're.
- 1:02:00Always talking and he's considered one of the little 5.
- 1:02:03Cool. Well.
- 1:02:04There you go. Yeah, he's a he's a feisty
- 1:02:07little guy, I think. I think there's a rhino beetle
- 1:02:09or something like that. Which which is also part of I'm
- 1:02:12actually I can't remember the the little 5, but they they're
- 1:02:15basically the miniatures of the big.
- 1:02:18Do they each have a correlation with the big 5 like the?
- 1:02:21Elephant. True.
- 1:02:22And the elephant and the rhino. Beetle and the rhino.
- 1:02:24OK, that's great. Yeah.
- 1:02:26Oh, that's cool. Well, shrews are known.
- 1:02:29Shrews are known for for being very vicious toward animals 1000
- 1:02:34times their size. Like they'll jump up and bite
- 1:02:36the nose of a dog and stuff like that.
- 1:02:40That was a long story. I was actually.
- 1:02:42Under playing it a little bit, but.
- 1:02:43When we were at the. Kruger National Park, I think
- 1:02:45the last time or the second last time, I can't remember, there
- 1:02:49was a tour group and we went and and spoke to them.
- 1:02:52They were just, they just happened to be nearby and asked
- 1:02:55him, you know, are they, are they going to go try and find
- 1:02:57the big 5? And they said no, no, no, no,
- 1:03:00no, no. We're actually here to find the
- 1:03:02little 50. That's funny, That's funny.
- 1:03:04So that's cool. So I can only imagine how slowly
- 1:03:10you must be driving through the park because you've got to be
- 1:03:12looking down at the grounds or walking.
- 1:03:16You're not going to find it. You can't really walk then.
- 1:03:18You can't really walk there. Oh, you can't.
- 1:03:20Well, no, I mean, well, you can. But do you want to walk?
- 1:03:23With where there are leopards and lions, that's right, maybe,
- 1:03:28depending. Depending on your intentions,
- 1:03:32yeah. Cool.
- 1:03:33I taught her in. Thank you for doing intentions.
