Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Germicidal
Speaker 1: Ultra violet Zeits courtesy of Johnny Davis and the organizers
Speaker 1: of that boord Ape event, that board Ape NFT event.
Speaker 2: Where Welder's eye.
Speaker 1: Everybody came away with the little case of the how
Speaker 1: you say welder's.
Speaker 3: I or arc I because you're looking at an arc
Speaker 3: welder This is all It's never good.
Speaker 2: It's never good.
Speaker 1: An ocular sunburn resulting from prolonged exposure to harmful UV rays.
Speaker 1: And this happened because people were dancing it up, celebrating
Speaker 1: in the face of people's doubt about the longevity of
Speaker 1: their board movement, of the NFT movement, and they got
Speaker 1: some burned corneas, got a little cornia burn. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 2: That sounds so fucked up. I don't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I don't even wanna. I don't like it.
Speaker 3: But it's so weird too that like you wouldn't figure
Speaker 3: out untill after the fact, Like you couldn't like or
Speaker 3: I don't know, have people been around these things and
Speaker 3: be like, you know, if UV rays are fucking your
Speaker 3: eyes up like that, you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 3: or is it one of those things where it like
Speaker 3: takes a second and then the next day you're like,
Speaker 3: my shits are cooked.
Speaker 1: You wake up, you wake up and try to open
Speaker 1: your eyes and they're just like glued shut. But like
Speaker 1: that Homer Simpson gift exactly, there's.
Speaker 2: Simpson needed your drops. Your eyes will crust over there.
Speaker 1: You go with the ends, Like when I googled this
Speaker 1: because I actually didn't know what mister Davis was referring
Speaker 1: to the discord that some of the articles that popped
Speaker 1: up word like from the pandemic being like, yeah, these
Speaker 1: things are gonna be everywhere to kill the germs. Oh
Speaker 1: those right for they will give your eyeballs sunburn. Anyways,
Speaker 1: I'm Jack, that's miles. These are some of the things
Speaker 1: that are trending. Uh. The am PTP, Yes there you go,
Speaker 1: has issued their best end, final uh to to the actors.
Speaker 1: And you know what. One of the details that people
Speaker 1: seems fixated on for some reason is that they can
Speaker 1: pay you once to scan you and then not never
Speaker 1: pay you again. Yeah, to quote George Bush, h scann
Speaker 1: you once. Shame on you scan. You can't can't get
Speaker 1: scanned again.
Speaker 2: You're don't scam. You're not gonna scan me again, Okay,
Speaker 2: all right, good to know.
Speaker 3: It also sounds like right now the AMPTP is now
Speaker 3: saying they are they will adjust language around AI. Oh hot, damn,
Speaker 3: Shane's just like thirty minutes ago.
Speaker 1: It's tough for them with this world where like we
Speaker 1: actually pay attention to the bullshit that they try to pull,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 3: And also like really pulling up with your chest out
Speaker 3: like that, like this is our best and final offer,
Speaker 3: and they're like, or what.
Speaker 1: Or okay fine, or there'll be more AI people.
Speaker 2: I know it's the rhetorically our best and final offer.
Speaker 3: Okay, that wasn't our best because now we're clearly going
Speaker 3: to meet you somewhere in the middle with AI.
Speaker 2: But yeah, ongoing saga there, ongoing ongoing.
Speaker 1: Well. Speaking of George W. Bush, I recently heard somebody
Speaker 1: referred to where Joe Biden is currently as similar to
Speaker 1: like where Bush was in the aftermath of Katrina, Like oh,
Speaker 1: in terms of just like the absolute lack of moral authority,
Speaker 1: you know, like we've seen you just ignore horrifying shit
Speaker 1: and just try and like keep it moving. And I
Speaker 1: guess I was just curious, like I've heard people kind
Speaker 1: of assume that this is what's happening to polling numbers.
Speaker 1: That that's what it seems like to me. But then
Speaker 1: when you like go to the New York Times article
Speaker 1: about like Joe Biden's polling in freefall all of a
Speaker 1: sudden this month, you might think that the major story
Speaker 1: of you know, what's happening in Gaza that has like
Speaker 1: dominated every day of news for the past month would
Speaker 1: be the focus of a shocking polling free fall for
Speaker 1: Biden over that same period, and specifically, like his polling
Speaker 1: is in freefall among people of color, specifically during a
Speaker 1: time that he has demonstrated what would seem to be
Speaker 1: a belief that the lives of you know, brown people
Speaker 1: in Palestine are worth less in the grand colonial scheme
Speaker 1: of things than the lives of white people. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: like the New York Times articles just like, yeah, well
Speaker 1: people think he's old, and you know, and it's like, well,
Speaker 1: they've thought he's old for a while.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a thing that they've been talking about
Speaker 3: like since last year or the concern or whatever. But like, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's that's very convenient to leave that part out, because
Speaker 3: you know, there are people who are doing polling specifically
Speaker 3: of like Arab Americans, and they showed that he went
Speaker 3: from around.
Speaker 2: Like sixty percent support of Arab Americans.
Speaker 3: Now like seventeen yes, and that and they say is
Speaker 3: like astounding because it's never there's never been a precipitous
Speaker 3: dropped so quickly in such a short amount of time, like.
Speaker 2: With this specific community.
Speaker 3: But also when they are like, look at the polling,
Speaker 3: it it goes across all like the cross tabs like
Speaker 3: no matter religion or gender and things like that.
Speaker 2: Age.
Speaker 3: And yet to your point, a lot of people of
Speaker 3: color too also see something that resonates with them on
Speaker 3: some level, where it's systemic oppression or watching like people
Speaker 3: Palestinian people literally walking to relocate, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Like and like I think Andrew.
Speaker 3: Jackson might have just might harken back to the time
Speaker 3: of Andrew Jackson with the Trail of Tears.
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of things that resonate with people.
Speaker 3: But you also see like these really weird things too,
Speaker 3: where they're like it's TikTok, actually that's the problem, right, And.
Speaker 4: You're like, are you really doing the principal Skinner thing
Speaker 4: right now?
Speaker 2: It's like it's it me, It's no. The children.
Speaker 3: And I think again, this goes back to the idea
Speaker 3: like people know more people are are informing themselves a
Speaker 3: little bit more so like to do this like full
Speaker 3: court press of manufacturing consent and it not working, Like
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know why. That's a shock,
Speaker 3: Like people are are a little bit more tapped in,
Speaker 3: and there's plenty of people that aren't, but it's just wild.
Speaker 3: And then you also hear people like Democratic strategists that
Speaker 3: are like, well, you know, like if there's a woman
Speaker 3: who is not supporting Biden right now, she'll figure it
Speaker 3: out once, you know, like November comes because they don't
Speaker 3: want to vote against their own rights, and that's so
Speaker 3: fucking patronizing and callous and also like plays into the
Speaker 3: like Biden's administration and just the Democratic Party in general
Speaker 3: not doing shit to protect reproductive rights. It it I
Speaker 3: don't know, like none of their none of the levers
Speaker 3: are working right it seems like for them. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously a year is a very long time
Speaker 3: and when it comes to politics, but this is just
Speaker 3: I don't know, like like a lot of the shit
Speaker 3: that you see right now of what's happening in Gaza,
Speaker 3: like you can't unsee it and then you can't be
Speaker 3: like disconnect the idea.
Speaker 2: They're like, but we give them the capability to do that,
Speaker 2: so are we also?
Speaker 3: You know, like a journalist recently asked their representative from
Speaker 3: like the State Department about, like, is there any concern
Speaker 3: that like, you know, these are like because these are
Speaker 3: international war crimes, that like the US is a party
Speaker 3: to that because they're providing the ammunitions, and like it's
Speaker 3: just like completely glossed over. But sure, because well we
Speaker 3: all know how the US works. They're like, oh, you
Speaker 3: want to take us to the Hague, will invade everywhere
Speaker 3: if you try that shit with us, right, which is
Speaker 3: not a good default position to have when you're talking
Speaker 3: about international law.
Speaker 2: But yeah, Yeah.
Speaker 1: The New York Times article specifically like reporting on it,
Speaker 1: mentions Gaza in like one sentence fragment about how people
Speaker 1: like trust Trump more on foreign policy. They're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: and specifically and Israel, they try they trust him by
Speaker 1: eleven percentage points and just like kind of keep it moving.
Speaker 1: But I wonder if he is like getting that message,
Speaker 1: Like I'm assuming he's pretty well insulated by these democratic
Speaker 1: strategists who are from a different era where it's just like, yes,
Speaker 1: we just ride with Israel, no questions asked, and like
Speaker 1: that's good for you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like just going full neoliberal and being like, oh,
Speaker 3: this is what we do.
Speaker 2: Dude, I don't know, I can't really.
Speaker 1: Just got to remind them how good the economy is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's and again it's just this doesn't help anyone.
Speaker 3: This is every like every day that this like this
Speaker 3: genocidal campaign continues, it's it's it's radicalizing people in every direction.
Speaker 3: It's causing more chaos. There was a guy who was
Speaker 3: at a protest in California who is like a supporting
Speaker 3: Israel like and there was like a like a pro
Speaker 3: Palestine thing and he got shoved or something and hit
Speaker 3: his head and died.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's things aren't like And to think that it's like,
Speaker 3: oh this ends well, right, like like let's even let's
Speaker 3: even game out the logic they destroy whatever quote unquote
Speaker 3: destroy Hamas means you're right, we've seen this play out.
Speaker 3: You're just going to create a vacuum for something worse
Speaker 3: to show up, right, And do you think people, the
Speaker 3: people of Palestine are going to say, ah, right, y'all
Speaker 3: got us right?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: Like back to like I don't understand, like even it
Speaker 3: even defies like how we believe human beings to respond
Speaker 3: to trauma. So it just all feels it's just it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: every day gets worse and worse. And then like then
Speaker 3: there's like head I saw that the IDF is put
Speaker 3: together like a short film of like really awful October
Speaker 3: seventh attack footage. Uh to just try and like I
Speaker 3: don't know, they're like their screenings potentially happening in New
Speaker 3: York and Los Angeles.
Speaker 4: And it's like, how quickly are you like reducing these
Speaker 4: people who actually lost their lives into this like obscene
Speaker 4: piece of propaganda to justify the killing of more innocent people.
Speaker 2: It's just everything feels.
Speaker 3: So all over the place, man, And all you're asking
Speaker 3: is like the US to the supposed leader of the
Speaker 3: free world. Yeah, and to hear people say things like, well,
Speaker 3: you know, I don't know what else to do.
Speaker 2: How about you say.
Speaker 3: We can we won't give you munitions? Why is it
Speaker 3: that's not even a thing that's discussed. And I get
Speaker 3: that that in terms of art, that's so such a
Speaker 3: departure from American foreign policy, But to act like nothing
Speaker 3: can be done that doesn't help people will feel good
Speaker 3: about what is happening or how the US is involved
Speaker 3: with that.
Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, let's take a quick break. We'll
Speaker 1: come back and talk about some other stuff. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back, and we're back. We are back. And as
Speaker 1: you found the study about how Hollywood affects how we
Speaker 1: visualize the end of our lives.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like we talked, you know, you you bring this
Speaker 3: up a lot about how like movies and TV are
Speaker 3: sort of like formed the bedrock of like our understanding
Speaker 3: of certain parts of like life, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they affect how you imagine things that you haven't
Speaker 1: experienced yet. Right, so a country you haven't been to.
Speaker 2: Getting your whole bit by a great white, your.
Speaker 1: Whole shit bit by a great white, or like your future,
Speaker 1: like how your life will end. Like I've seen way
Speaker 1: more crashes that I've seen people die of cancer in
Speaker 1: a movie, and therefore I, like my brain at some
Speaker 1: level believes I'm going to die in a plane crash
Speaker 1: or dying in a plane crash is more likely than
Speaker 1: dying of cancer, even though that's wildly incorrect.
Speaker 3: To that end, right, Like the USC and this organization
Speaker 3: end well, they're dedicated to dismantling barriers and confronting stigmas
Speaker 3: surrounding end of life experiences. They just found like while
Speaker 3: doing an analysis of like TV and film for like
Speaker 3: the last twenty odd years, they're like, yeah, like just
Speaker 3: everything is so violent.
Speaker 2: Quote.
Speaker 3: The study found scripted television skews heavily toward violent death,
Speaker 3: with over eighty percent of television deaths caused by violence.
Speaker 3: It noted research that shows depictions of gun violence on
Speaker 3: popular primetime dramas doubled from twenty to twenty eighteen, and
Speaker 3: then shooting, stabbing, poisonings, and beatings together made up forty
Speaker 3: nine percent of depicted TV deaths, while illness was only
Speaker 3: four point three percent. And then so like their whole
Speaker 3: thing is like if a majority like characters experience of
Speaker 3: violent death, that are it's already painting a very skewed
Speaker 3: picture that deprives viewers of like a better representation of
Speaker 3: sort of what end of life care specifically could look like,
Speaker 3: and like what options are, Like we talked about I
Speaker 3: need to.
Speaker 1: Prepare for a end of life care. Man, I'm going
Speaker 1: out in the hall of bullets or.
Speaker 3: A plane crash or a Tornado's gonna throw me into
Speaker 3: the sky and I'll never come down. There's like a
Speaker 3: lot of research, right we talk about psychedelics and psychedelics
Speaker 3: used for like end of life sort of therapy to
Speaker 3: help people sort of come to grips with their mortality.
Speaker 3: But that isn't even really like a scripted thing in media.
Speaker 3: They even pointed out, quote for instance, in our investigation
Speaker 3: of discussion of psychedelics and scripted programming, we found hundreds
Speaker 3: of mentions, but only three storylines where psychedelics were used
Speaker 3: to treat patients, and only two of those are about
Speaker 3: treating end of life. So basically saying like there's so
Speaker 3: much room for creators to paint more like realistic representations.
Speaker 3: And I get that obviously sensational stuff is they're like
Speaker 3: that just like gets people or whatever. Yeah, but it
Speaker 3: doesn't quite capture like the breath of human experience. And
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, people are like we're all like
Speaker 3: experts and like understanding like stab wounds and poisonings because
Speaker 3: of the TV shows we watch, but have no idea
Speaker 3: about like differences like what's palliative care right hospice and
Speaker 3: it just you know, they're going on to say that
Speaker 3: like there's a lot that can help people understand sort
Speaker 3: of what these what this sort of looks like, because
Speaker 3: we're only getting presented the version that is just very
Speaker 3: violent and sensationalized.
Speaker 2: So interesting. I didn't really quite think of that, but now.
Speaker 3: When I think when you look at the stature, like yeah, right,
Speaker 3: everybody's like killed and stuff, like unless you're watching.
Speaker 2: Like a medical drama.
Speaker 3: And they even point to the fact that a lot
Speaker 3: of medical dramas are also kind of like not doing
Speaker 3: the best job of showing like oh yeah, it's always.
Speaker 1: Like some strange like unprecedented illness. It's never like, yeah,
Speaker 1: this person has been smoking for forty five years and
Speaker 1: finally just caught up to them, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's right, right, And like even grief like how
Speaker 3: that's not even it's like used as like a plot
Speaker 3: point too. It's like just grieving character this is the
Speaker 3: jumping off point for all this like activity following this
Speaker 3: or whatever, and there are other ways to depict it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, interesting analysis for sure. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We were which we launched this podcast from a we
Speaker 1: work We.
Speaker 2: Did, We absolutely did.
Speaker 1: We were in Hollywood, did not have an office yet,
Speaker 1: and so we were working out of a we work
Speaker 1: with a strap room. Yeah, it really felt like a
Speaker 1: broom closet.
Speaker 2: That was like that was not that was not an office.
Speaker 1: No, No, it's they I well, I had asked them like,
Speaker 1: give me like one without windows because it was going
Speaker 1: to be a lot of reverb if we had windows,
Speaker 1: and they were like, I mean you could have this
Speaker 1: ship hole over here. Yeah, And they're like, you know,
Speaker 1: shoot some rats out of the way. Uh, and like
Speaker 1: they're like.
Speaker 2: Do youdys mind leaving? We got some people that are
Speaker 2: actually paying now.
Speaker 1: But I think early episodes we were talking about like
Speaker 1: the you know, the spa water that they had there,
Speaker 1: the nice little cucumber water. The yeah, nice little perks.
Speaker 1: But it was not fun to work there. But at
Speaker 1: that time we work. Rocket growth to everyone was they
Speaker 1: were valued in twenty nineteen at forty seven billion dollars
Speaker 1: in around of funding, and they were aiming to like
Speaker 1: hit the stock market and become basically the next I
Speaker 1: don't know Airbnb or like something like that work Airbnb,
Speaker 1: and then it all fell apart, like people realized that
Speaker 1: that valuation was like based on basically they were valuing
Speaker 1: themselves like a tech company instead of like a real
Speaker 1: estate company, and so they were like, tech companies, you
Speaker 1: can value yourself at like eight x what you're actually
Speaker 1: making money wise, or some like really high number, whereas
Speaker 1: real estate you can value yourself at like two x.
Speaker 1: And they were like, well, when you think about it,
Speaker 1: we're kind of a tech company, like we have an
Speaker 1: app right that people can sign into. And they were like, oh,
Speaker 1: oh no and so and then there was like a
Speaker 1: lot of behavior behind the scenes that made it made
Speaker 1: them fun to dunk on as as people as investors
Speaker 1: were realizing this.
Speaker 3: The CEO a lot of self dealing there basically fucked
Speaker 3: it all up, but also a lesson about how people
Speaker 3: get so caught up in this like Silicon Valley like
Speaker 3: visionary shit that they're like, yeah, it actually defies all
Speaker 3: logic that we have about how, you know, macroeconomics work.
Speaker 3: But don't worry, we're going to the fucking tops put
Speaker 3: a saddle on this unicorn because we're going to.
Speaker 1: Guys like got a big personality and he's fun to
Speaker 1: party with. So yeah, they have since lost ninety eight
Speaker 1: percent of their value the company. The reason we're talking
Speaker 1: about it, they have filed for bankrupt see in mid August,
Speaker 1: they announced a one for forty reverse stock split to
Speaker 1: get its shares trading back above one dollar, which is
Speaker 1: a requirement for keeping it by the New York Stock Exchange.
Speaker 2: Bro, thank you getting ten thousand shares. Bro.
Speaker 1: Watch this ship jack, Yeah, but anyways, you hate to
Speaker 1: see it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And there's an article I'm Wired about first gen social
Speaker 1: media users. Yeah, millennials. Yeah, and it's just how like
Speaker 1: they're now now that Twitter is bordering on unusable and
Speaker 1: headed let's just call it more unusable. It's unusable, it's unusable.
Speaker 3: I think we're in denial, like we're seeing It's like
Speaker 3: when a relationship is really bad, Like.
Speaker 2: But I laughed last night, right, and it's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: but how's everything else? Awful? Awful? It's really bad.
Speaker 3: If you could be in a relation, I would break
Speaker 3: up with them. Then I think you have your answer.
Speaker 2: That's right now?
Speaker 1: Yeaheah Yeah. So people are like, so where do they
Speaker 1: go from? Here has been how it's been covered up
Speaker 1: to this point. This Wired article is like, or do
Speaker 1: they just like not go anywhere?
Speaker 2: Are they like?
Speaker 1: Oh? Social media was like an experiment that went badly
Speaker 1: and now we go back to living our lives in reality.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't know, Like, it's just this
Speaker 3: is this excerpt that people are sharing from the article
Speaker 3: that said quote, Millennials are the last of the analog world,
Speaker 3: both of yesterday and tomorrow, the bridge between what was
Speaker 3: and what will be. Maybe this is where my hesitation
Speaker 3: takes root and why it feels like there are no
Speaker 3: good apps left for socializing the way we used to.
Speaker 3: We came of age on a diet of chat rooms
Speaker 3: in MySpace. Our expression was devoutly digital. We signed up
Speaker 3: in mass because we sought in the next frontier of
Speaker 3: adulthood we solely realized was being actualized online friends or blogger, tumbler, Twitter,
Speaker 3: and Facebook, where where we found community, honed our creative urges,
Speaker 3: and secured careers. In time, we used social media to
Speaker 3: remake civic life. Okay, it feels a little you know, Okay,
Speaker 3: I see where you're going with that, But I feel
Speaker 3: like that evolution definitely, Like I remember being going from
Speaker 3: no internet ever to dialing up on AOL, to like
Speaker 3: just seeing what the you know, all the shit that
Speaker 3: was possible online, to then even like making YouTube videos
Speaker 3: or funnier die videos and things like that, and knowing
Speaker 3: that like there was like all this possibility and now
Speaker 3: it just feels everything has been like co opted by
Speaker 3: like just corporate interests that have no like see no
Speaker 3: value and what the connectivity aspect is and just like
Speaker 3: you know, farming for data or just like shit that
Speaker 3: is completely uh unmoderated and become total cesspits and there's
Speaker 3: no there's no there's there's nothing like a value or
Speaker 3: you have to wade through too much excrement to find
Speaker 3: the real stuff.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: There's like one part is talking about it's like this
Speaker 3: person's like I use Twitter maybe three or four times
Speaker 3: a year.
Speaker 2: I barely post anymore.
Speaker 3: And I've seen how like even myself, like I've I
Speaker 3: went from loving to post shit on Instagram I really like,
Speaker 3: and then I.
Speaker 2: Just slowly like one of my things that feels weird.
Speaker 3: It's just like, yeah, like I don't know what happened,
Speaker 3: but I could just be a function of getting older.
Speaker 2: But I still do like I missed that excitement of like.
Speaker 3: When it was a little bit more pure, or maybe
Speaker 3: it was always like it just seemed pure in the
Speaker 3: beginning because we were always kind of pursuing something a
Speaker 3: little bit toxic underneath at the end. So I don't know,
Speaker 3: I don't know which way it is exactly, but I
Speaker 3: definitely feel the like thela the lost love that's on
Speaker 3: some level.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that paragraph like reminded me of the year twenty ten,
Speaker 1: like when it was like we are going to you know,
Speaker 1: like it has that like propulsive energy of like and
Speaker 1: you know, the sky's the limit. Who knows what we're
Speaker 1: gonna do with this? Yeah, like, oh, the it just
Speaker 1: became a marketing tool that wound its way into like
Speaker 1: the very fibers of and I don't know if.
Speaker 3: There is even like I don't know if there is
Speaker 3: an app that would come out there you're like, oh,
Speaker 3: there it is, you know what I mean, Like there's
Speaker 3: the thing or it's always just some version of like
Speaker 3: I don't know, fucking the racists are just going to
Speaker 3: show up eventually and just like fuck are whatever the
Speaker 3: fuck happens or you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely going to be something on the model of
Speaker 1: like Wikipedia open source you know, projects where it's like
Speaker 1: people like a community that isn't owned and isn't like
Speaker 1: trying to make a profit and is somehow using hippie crap. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like hippie shit. It would have to be some hippie bullshit.
Speaker 1: I think mine is.
Speaker 3: I wonder if that would put investors off, Like you
Speaker 3: just it's called hippie crap, but it's actually like the
Speaker 3: best social media platform.
Speaker 2: Just to scare off investors.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's something that they talk about in Ministry
Speaker 1: for the Future, and I've heard other people. I think
Speaker 1: Douglas Roushcoff talks about it in his book that we
Speaker 1: had him on to discuss on one of our recent
Speaker 1: Tuesday Expert episodes. Is like the idea that some of
Speaker 1: the most successful things in the history of this these
Speaker 1: past like thirty forty years online have been like open
Speaker 1: source like community right driven things like that just you know,
Speaker 1: did didn't drive a profit and the whole Internet is
Speaker 1: like written on the back of that code or like
Speaker 1: the one website that still like works Wikipedia And the
Speaker 1: reason for that is because it but it's just they
Speaker 1: they don't get hyped, they don't get any media attention
Speaker 1: because it's like, well this is this completely undermines the
Speaker 1: circulatory system that our entire like political body is like
Speaker 1: built out of.
Speaker 3: Yeah, at Wikipedia, like how do you guys make the
Speaker 3: line go up. They're right, you mean with users, right.
Speaker 3: No Elon Musk is like so hostile towards it. He's like,
Speaker 3: look at these losers asking for uh donations anyway, Uh
Speaker 3: neo Nazi's paying me five dollars a month. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: you will be you will get special blue check mark.
Speaker 3: Or it's like when I was like in college and
Speaker 3: like my friends used to smoke weed with stop smoking weed,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, you know, I'm actually not smoking.
Speaker 2: Oh really better than me now? Like it's that kind
Speaker 2: of that kind of shit too, or something being the muck.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, anyway, where to go from here? Who knows?
Speaker 1: It's impossible.
Speaker 2: Just hang out at the park, dude.
Speaker 3: We should just go back to those like electrical transformer
