Where are you being though? How you 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.520 let all these no ceilings call without telling me? Let's 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:29.600 do a no ceilings dog I like to know that. 0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:32.839 You have got to be kidding me. 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:35.519 You've been letting me get packed out by these girls. 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.600 There's no there's no saving it from that outcome. 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:41.360 That's just that's just what come with it. 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:45.720 Yeah, yeah, I'm always here me, I'm always here. 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:48.760 You know you ain't always been there. You was moving around, 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:50.920 You were somewhere else when I called. 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:55.920 Because maybe like an hour's notice wouldn't be the worst 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:57.720 thing of all time. Hey, we're in the middle of 0:00:57.720 --> 0:00:58.880 a podcast. Once't up ending. 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:01.400 I'm like, huh, you know what, Maybe what we need 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:03.279 to do is maybe what I need to do is 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:08.000 every every Friday, like before I try to do the 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.360 girls podcast, I need to do one with us and 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:12.920 then one with them. What I need to do actually 0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:14.440 is make it to where we can all be in 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.920 the same room. That's what I need to do. And 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.160 then we have it over the phone. 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.840 Or do it like it in the meantime. We could 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:23.120 do it like you know how they have the State 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:25.759 of the Union, and then there's the address and then 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:28.399 afterwards there's the state of the Union rebuttal, like the 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:32.280 wrap up rebuttal from the other side, something like that. 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.320 I've been thinking this union. I think I'm gonna get 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.280 a new spot that's literally dedicated to no seilings and 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.360 you know, so, like what I'm working at is forty 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.040 five fifty five minutes out the city, and everybody's trying 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.440 to get me to get it closer. But because I 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:48.840 want a podcast, I'm not trying to do a live 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.720 stream or YouTube show. I'm not I don't care about 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:55.000 other people coming to be a part of the conversation. Sure, 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.600 Like I feel like with you with red, with bread, 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:00.320 you know what I mean. I have more more than 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:08.400 enough people to have really intelligent conversations with. Yeah. Yeah, 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:13.720 somebody was complimenting me the other day and they were saying, man, Glass, 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:20.160 you're so intelligent. Now I'm not sure if it's through 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:27.080 education and information, but it feels innate that to meet intelligence, 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.800 even though people don't get what that means to me, 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:36.640 it's the ability to listen, right, and then articulate an 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:42.120 idea that corresponds with listening. So is it wrong if 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.600 I think of intellect or intelligence as the ability to 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.959 listen first and primarily. 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:56.000 No, I mean, it's all about intake of information and 0:02:56.120 --> 0:03:00.399 manipulation and interpretation of that information, and then output and 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:04.360 either regeneration or articulation of what you just put together. 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.440 It's all about the way you engineer what you took 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.280 in between when it comes in and when it goes 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:09.840 out to me. 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:14.799 Yeah, And another problem I have is like I've been 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:18.000 working on it for the last three years, but I 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.080 feel like when I talk to a lot of people 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:24.600 because sometimes I know exactly the bullshit they're about to say, 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.280 so it makes me cut them off cause it's like, 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.600 don't get to that dumb ass point that you're about 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:36.040 to say. Sure, So to truly be even more intelligent, 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.360 I have to let them articulate that dumb ass shit 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:41.480 they about to say all the way to the end. 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:45.920 So they think that's an intelligence thing. No, that's that's 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:47.080 just a patient stations. 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:48.960 Okay. So that's what I've been really working on. 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:51.680 The book I'm reading right now, I'm reading another one 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.279 of the George Gilder books. This was Life After Capitalism. 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.000 Just to give the amount of plug. Phenomenal book, but 0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:01.080 one of the pillars of the information theory of economics. 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.480 He put a fourth pillar on theirs that information is surprised. 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:09.320 It's surprise. Bits. If you and I just recite toopless 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.320 two is four, back and forth to each other for 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:15.280 an hour, no information has been exchanged because everything is known. 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:20.479 Information is only the taking in of an unknown you know, 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.640 quantity or bit of thought. 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:29.559 HM, tell me about life at the capitalism? What's that about. 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:41.279 It's basically talking about the post capitalist era that the 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:47.719 economy is in, and you know, the term like emergency socialism, 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:51.680 so to speak, where governments intervened on markets because of 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:56.320 COVID or because of climate or whatever else, and redefining 0:04:56.360 --> 0:05:00.440 what capitalism really is a lot of you know, for entries, 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:05.840 it was an assessment of scarcity, whereas this is looking 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.159 at it as an assessment of abundance and the power 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:09.000 of the human mind. 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:14.200 That's deep. 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:16.280 It's a great it's a phenomenal reader. 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:21.080 I gotta read that book. Yeah, So what's been on 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.040 my mind? I want to talk to you about is 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.800 Somebody asked me a question and they asked me, in 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.680 the modern podcast space, do I feel like it's creating 0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:36.120 more sexism? And I thought that was deep, right, because 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.680 I look at different conversations I have with different people. 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.359 You know, you have your social media friends that you 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.800 share content back and forth with. You know, I probably 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.480 have about ten or twelve people. Out of those ten 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.279 and twelve people, maybe three or four are groups, and 0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:56.240 we're just exchanging information, right, content, and we're just really 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.800 thinking about it, right, we're talking about it. But I 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:03.400 am I'm starting to notice there is a really weird 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:07.360 theme going on where people is spending entirely too much 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:11.719 time trying to relate to men and women, men trying 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.560 to relate to men, or women trying to relate to women, 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:21.640 like all this stuff Puffy is going through right with Cassie, 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:26.279 And you know, there are some red flags that go 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.440 up obviously for me, right when I hear all of 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:34.720 the accusations, it's like, damn hen you know, damn a 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:38.360 nigga was doing all that to her. And then there's 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.599 the red flags on Cassie side, like why would you 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:44.080 wait until the statue of limitation is about to be up. 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:47.000 Why is this in civil court and not criminal court? Right? 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.560 So I look at both sides, and I really I 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:52.640 look at the situation as a whole. But I noticed 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:56.880 when I'm on social media, you'll have a line drew 0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:01.960 in the sand. And my initial issue with the line 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:05.640 first is this is all charges that you know, you 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:08.359 you you have to like you. Usually you need a 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.600 court to decide if someone's guilty of this, But now 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.600 we're in a space to where if you're charged with it, 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:18.480 if they say this about you, is true, Like right now, 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.520 Puffy is guilty true? 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.800 Absolutely, that's yeah, And that's that's not particularly new, but 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:27.080 it's worse now. 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:31.000 Is that something that's rooted in intellect at that point? Is it? 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.160 Is it? Is it the most primitive thing to believe 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:37.240 the things that are said? Is it as primitive to 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.680 believe like a woman said this, so it has to 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.080 be true, Like so Cassie said this, so the other 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:44.560 woman have to be like this has to be true 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:45.320 because she said it. 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.520 I don't think it's primitive. I think it's this is 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:50.920 all kind of party to the same kind of conversation 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:59.600 where you've had this communicative apparatus over the last couple 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:03.400 of decads, Aid's that has attempted to define the conversation 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.880 or redefine the conversation, so to speak, because you know, 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.160 good and well, I mean, like you can go across 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.880 the world to like more kind of archaic societies, and 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.160 if a woman accuses a man of something, they just 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.000 beat the shit out of her, tell her to shut up. 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:18.840 You know, you go to Bangladesh as a woman and 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.360 accused of guy raping you, It's like, unless five other 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:24.120 men saw you get raped, you're full of shit, get 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.520 the hell out of here. Yes, So I don't know 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.440 necessarily that's the case that it is primitive to believe 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.439 somebody on an accusation. I think that what is happening 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:37.439 is you have this transitional point that we're in where 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:41.319 you have people who inherently, without thinking, really really really 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:44.079 trust the system. So they figure, well, if the system, 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:48.120 you know, which I believe is effective, brought these charges, 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.760 then it's more than likely true, or whether the system 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.560 is flawed throughout the handling of the case whatever. But 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.439 you have to be guilty in order to see a 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.640 charge like that. That's I think a lot of people's 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:03.439 inherent mindset. But then also like, as so far as 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.720 the podcast space goes, it's the only place, like you 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:11.880 can't go on to NBC and really provide pushback. So 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.800 this became an area where you could provide pushback on 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:19.400 certain narratives, and people went crazy with it. So it's like, oh, wait, 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.960 you mean I can jump on a microphone and say 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:27.320 an alternative narrative and they're not gonna yank me off 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.560 my own show. No great, And then everybody did it. 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:38.960 M no silings, gl my man, Peter back at it 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:51.480 usual wow, suspects. Yeah, it's starting to make me like, 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:56.280 it makes me it makes me cringe almost right. And 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.679 again I don't know if it's something because I like, 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:04.440 as I develop more patients, as I apply more ability 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:08.320 to listen and reason, it makes me stand out in 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.760 a room like I've been doing all of these promo 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:17.240 runs and just stop and stop and really listening to 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.600 people say something to me and then responding to them, 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:25.400 you know, based off information, and and then I'll stop 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.560 and I look today and I'll be like, damn man, like, 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.679 how can y'all just all get right on your social 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.920 media's and then just act like this is the ending 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.960 point of it all? Like, how do you how do 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:41.719 you act with so much conviction? Like with Takasi six ' nine, Right, 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.040 I've seen everything happening, and I remember Nip telling me, like, man, 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:48.080 that nigga gonna tell, And I'm like, nah, he gotta 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:51.160 show me, he gonna tell, Like I'm giving everybody the 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.840 benefit of the doubt or I won't convict him, you know, 0:10:55.000 --> 0:11:04.320 right until they tell. Yeah, it's just weird to me. 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.520 It's almost like nobody wants to think. Nobody wants to 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:12.080 leave a space to like people are not even smart 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.400 enough to leave a space to be wrong. It's like 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:20.880 it's this ve sense of conviction, and I can't help 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:25.400 but truly believe it's a lack of intellect. And when 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.600 I say it's a lack of intellect, it's because the 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:32.120 emotional side of your brain is overpowering the reasonable side 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:32.720 of your brain. 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:35.160 I think it's a few things. I think that's part 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:37.120 of it. I think that's part of the rest of it. 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:43.720 IQ distributions of Bell curve right, The majority of the 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:48.600 people are pretty mediocre just from a raw cognitive brute 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:52.400 strength capacity, you know what I mean? People being wrong 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:59.000 if you have an intellectual insecurity being proven wrong, especially 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:03.280 to your face, isn't your greatest moment, you know, So 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:07.400 we'll try to stifle debate. We'll try to, you know, 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:12.400 protect ourselves from being perceived as wrong as much as 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:17.840 as as possible, you know. And quite honestly, most people 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:20.000 aren't very bright. It's it's almost kind of like you 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:23.800 can go back to like high school math or high 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:29.040 school physics. There's the well, hey, nobody would raise a hand, 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:31.560 but you have the people who will sit there and 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:35.760 they give you the plug and play formula. Here's your thing, 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:38.680 here's your plug and play formula, here's whatever. And you 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:40.839 might have minds like you or me who don't give 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.120 it about the formula. We're going to solve the problem 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:47.160 through engineering. The concept carte blanche off a blank sheet, 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:51.320 and our understanding of the principle is superior to theirs, 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:55.600 because all they're doing is roboting what they're being told 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:59.360 to do without being able to really break down and 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:02.160 foundation construct what it is that they're doing in the 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:02.679 first place. 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:09.320 M So it's the it's the it's the easiest road 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:10.800 travel for them. 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:14.040 Yeah, I mean, it's whether we're wrong or not. We're 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:17.880 going to insulate our vulnerability to being wrong through groupthink 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:22.080 and through collective majority of uniformity of thought. 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:28.880 M So great point, right, And I do think like 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:32.520 me and head and sallus always argue because they think 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.480 people are stupid. I don't think people are stupid. I 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.400 don't think most people are incapable of learn, right, I 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:42.319 are incapable of learning. I think most people are distracted, 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.200 Like life has a way, you know, of distracting you, 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:48.439 especially your IQ. You know what I mean if your 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:52.319 IQ is not again, IQ is the ability to listen 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:55.960 and focus more than even speak out Like I think 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:59.160 Floyd Mayweather is a perfect example of somebody that's highly 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:02.199 intelligent but not educated thousand percent. 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:06.600 I mean, I accuse your ability to like construct, you know, 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.120 patterns and engineer kind of thought and that kind of thing. 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:15.040 Sure, So even if somebody can't speak like of Floyd Mayweather, 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:17.800 I think he's highly intelligent. And you could see it 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.000 in the thing that he was schooled in, right and 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:25.200 where he's schooled at. It's not always he don't have 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:29.320 to be completely fundamentally sound, right, he can be. He 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.960 could kind of take the information and then he makes 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:34.040 things work based off of who he is and to me, 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:37.440 that's the cornerstone of intellect. 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:39.040 Yeah. 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:44.520 Yeah, So I had this dough theory. The world is sheeps, wolves, 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.640 and shepherds. 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:48.680 Thousand percent. 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:55.000 Right. Sheeps are people, right who pretty much are distracted 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.840 with the concept of just eating or whatever they think 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:01.880 eating is. So therefore or they take group thought from 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:05.040 all of the sheep, the whole flock, and whatever the 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:08.000 flock is doing. That's what they do because it's more comfortable, 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:14.480 and you can get the concept of social currency. You 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:18.880 can gain social currency a lot easier. 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:19.960 Yeah. 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:24.120 Right, you have the few wolves, right, because it's never 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:27.160 as many wolves as there is sheeps, And you have 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:31.280 the few wolves that prey on the sheep, right, and 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.120 they like, look at the sheep, you know what I mean, 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.840 Like it might be three or four and it's a 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.960 thousand sheep, but every day they figure out a way 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.360 to prey on the sheep. And then you have shepherds, 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:45.480 people who protect the sheep and take them from where 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.160 they need to go the safest way to make sure 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:48.960 that they're eating. 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:51.880 Yeah, and it's easier to be a wolf than a shepherd. 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:56.600 That's my problem now, right, I'm a shepherd. Right, It's 0:15:56.640 --> 0:16:00.920 really hard because I got homies that are wolves. They 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:06.800 they prey on the sheep's ability to be, you know, 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:11.800 to be distracted with something as simple as eating. Yeah, 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.240 and that's how they're able to get their meals. 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:21.720 I think. I think to continue with like the discussion 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.040 that you have with Head and those guys, in so 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:28.040 far as people being stupid or distracted, I think that 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:32.360 there's a snowballing effect and accumulation of the more the 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:36.280 more time you spend distracted and disengaged, it's not just 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.600 that you're missing information. You get to a point where 0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:45.480 you fail to pick up tools that other people who 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.880 are engaged pick up over time. So then if that 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:53.160 happens for ten years, one person with a bunch of 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:56.160 tools and how to think and how to reason and 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:58.720 all these type of things has it and can do it, 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.000 whereas the other person and they might have been distracted, 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.400 but there's consequences to that distraction. Now they don't even 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:07.120 have the tools. So you afford them the time, they 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:09.680 can't make as much of the time because they lack 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:10.480 the tools. 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:15.520 Well, but I also think that's because Okay, the more 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:22.720 you focus on achieving cheap things like happiness. Yeah, happiness 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:27.600 is cheap. Sure, the true joy is what it's about. 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:32.080 Happiness is cheap. Joy, you know, is really the work. 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.240 They call it a happy ending, not a joyful ending. 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:40.240 Has them right? Happiness is a dollar fifty on a 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.120 hot day, a dollar dollar fifty cent on a hot day, 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:47.159 like ice cold water. Happiness is a fleeing thought. Joy 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:50.560 is a is an existence. You know what I mean. 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:56.600 I call happiness joy refined or joy or you're pasteurized. 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:03.880 Yeah, happiness is almost a symptom of joy, and joy 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:06.520 is my life is the disease in a good way. 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:11.639 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like that. I like that. So 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:20.320 then let me ask you a question. You get what 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:22.800 I'm saying right when I talk about sheeps, you know, 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:27.720 wool sheeps and shepherds. Yeah, right, as a shepherd, like right, 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:30.720 there are so many sacrifices I have to make, right 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:34.760 whereas like I have to know that I'm not probably 0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:39.640 eating sheep, true, you know what I mean, Like I'm 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.119 not gonna get lamb chops, right, it's not part of 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:48.760 But I can live a quality existence regardless, and a 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:52.680 moral and a fruitful existence regardless, right by based off 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:55.800 of you know, a level of peacefulness that when I 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:58.240 walk when I walk through this country, right when I 0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:01.439 stop in New York, and when somebody feelings hurt, I 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:06.080 don't feel nothing, you know what I mean? Because I'm 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:09.399 exposing their wolfish ways right of praying on people. 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:16.760 Yeah, yeah, or maybe there's sheep this ways, because if 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.879 you're a sheep, you're dependent. All you can do is 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:23.160 be dissatisfied. There's nothing else you can do as a sheep. 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:28.119 You can be grateful or you can be dissatisfied, but 0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:31.680 you can't be It's like the spectrum of zero to 0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:34.600 negative ten or a positive ten. You can't even get 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:36.719 from one to ten. There either zero or negative ten 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:40.080 is a sheep because you don't you don't control your 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:40.600 own outcome. 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:45.280 That's really how the human race is absolutely in America. 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:53.840 Fuck this fucking me up. Is it a decision to 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:57.240 be a shepherd or a wolf? Like, why does it 0:19:57.280 --> 0:19:58.840 feel like I can't be a wolf? 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:03.600 That's that's a person. Yeah, to be a shepherd or 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:06.680 a wolf is a personal choice. Some people maybe can't 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:12.160 be a shepherd, but can be a wolf. I think 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:17.679 I think it's a hierarchy of degree of difficult you know, 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.679 the commitments like being a sheep is the default setting. 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:27.080 It's harder to be a wolf than a sheep. You know, 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:30.159 you have to really you have to do something but 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:35.439 you but you operate in the world of misdirection and 0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:39.960 deceit and taking advantage of those who aren't suspecting. Usually 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:45.800 wolves don't attack a bunch of sheep head on. They 0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:47.639 like wait till they're like a sleep or whatever. They 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:49.360 creep in from the back and they grab them from 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:54.359 the back, leg whatever to help. Being a shepherd is 0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:58.040 even harder because you're operating in truth and reality at 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:03.040 all times, you know, with with without using smoking mirrors 0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:03.920 and deceit to get by. 0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:08.000 What do you fancy yourself as. 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:20.199 Man? I don't know. It's a good question, honestly. If anything, 0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:23.959 I might be like like kind of a lone wolf 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:28.960 because I'm I'm too indifferent to honestly consider myself a shepherd. Sure, 0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:33.760 but I don't really I don't feed off Some people 0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:35.639 really feed off getting over on people. 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:38.800 And I know, no, that's not your No, no, that's 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:41.840 not true at all, And that's why it's a weird space. 0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:45.200 Like so I feel like you're a shepherd that's lost. 0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:47.520 Yeah, I'm a flockless shepherd. 0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:50.919 I mean, like, I really don't want to leave these people, 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:54.080 but I'm being pressured to lead these people, you know 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:56.920 what I mean. And it's because you have your own 0:21:57.080 --> 0:21:59.800 things you want to accomplish, right, you want to You 0:21:59.840 --> 0:22:02.159 have your own things you want to accomplish. 0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:05.560 I'm like the shepherd who mapped out the stars and 0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:08.760 the constellations, and while he was doing that, half his 0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:15.639 flock got eaten by wolf's fucking crime. I was like, 0:22:15.680 --> 0:22:17.600 I told you ship heads not to stand over by 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:20.320 that river at night. Go back to these stars. 0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:30.959 Go back to these stars. Sometimes when I look at 0:22:31.000 --> 0:22:34.320 the music industry and I look at people, like, to me, 0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:38.960 they'll paint Puff like a wolf. And I don't think 0:22:39.040 --> 0:22:43.320 Puff as a wolf. I don't think he prays on 0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:47.199 the innocent, you know what I mean. I don't. I 0:22:47.240 --> 0:22:49.520 just don't think that. Like, and I could be wrong, 0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:54.520 because it's a twin cubs fighting Drake. Between the accusations 0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:58.639 of this and then that whole thirty five page you know, 0:22:58.760 --> 0:23:02.880 all the train, all the uh, the deposition from why 0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:06.080 he's being charged civilly, Yeah, you know, it makes me 0:23:06.160 --> 0:23:08.040 think i'd be like, fuck, you know what I mean? 0:23:08.119 --> 0:23:11.199 But I just can't jump over that clip like that. 0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:16.960 I don't care what you know, Mark Curry or Mace 0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:19.920 says about Puff as far as oh, you know what, 0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:23.119 he didn't give me back my you know, the publishing 0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:27.360 or the royalty, just like yeah, but that's because I mean, 0:23:27.400 --> 0:23:31.640 you were a sheep and he guided you to greener pastures, right, 0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:34.760 and now you're eating these greener pastures and you're like, 0:23:34.840 --> 0:23:39.520 well they can be greener if Puff, you know, just 0:23:39.560 --> 0:23:41.760 walk me over here and didn't make any money. 0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:45.960 Nothing to do but be dissatisfied. And I think we're 0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:49.879 walking up to the to a critical point in that 0:23:51.000 --> 0:23:53.600 to be a shepherd, you have to be strong and 0:23:53.640 --> 0:23:56.240 you have to make difficult decisions. Like the most famous 0:23:56.280 --> 0:24:00.240 shepherd of men throughout history is probably Moses. Sure, and 0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:02.199 a lot of those people. I'm not that familiar with 0:24:02.240 --> 0:24:04.440 the story and the acan biblical stuff in my saying, 0:24:04.680 --> 0:24:07.560 but I from what I recall, there was a lot 0:24:07.560 --> 0:24:11.840 of dissatisfaction with the guy. Yeah, throughout the course of 0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:15.680 the journey. And sometimes when you've got sheep, you got 0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:19.080 a wounded sheep, breaks this leg, you might have to 0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:23.720 just were down to nineteen. You can't sacrifice the many 0:24:23.800 --> 0:24:25.680 for the one all the time. 0:24:28.720 --> 0:24:30.560 You must also have to have tough skin. 0:24:31.320 --> 0:24:31.679 M hm. 0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:35.400 It's funny because in this world wolves are more respected 0:24:35.480 --> 0:24:44.120 than shepherds. Yeah, the difference is even though wolves are 0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:47.680 it's like wolves are praised by sheep as well as 0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:50.720 it's like because they fear them, they're praised by them, right, 0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:55.480 but they're fired the shepherd himself, you know, is not 0:24:55.600 --> 0:25:00.280
