WEBVTT - Josh Solo 0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:21.720 Hey, and welcome to What Future. I'm your host, Joshua Tzapolski, 0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:26.400 and I gotta tell you. I gotta tell you it's 0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:29.320 a big day, big important day. Actually, well, you're going 0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:32.040 to hear this on midnight on Thursday. If you're if 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.560 like most of my listeners, you stay up to wait 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:37.680 for the show to be posted. At the stroke of midnight, 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.360 it goes up and all my all the What Future 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:44.159 listeners rush to their podcast app of choice in our 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:47.360 and just immediately begin listening. A huge spike and listens 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:51.680 at midnight, just hundreds of thousands of people streaming, streaming 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:55.560 and listening right right at midnight. Anyhow, we're recording this 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:59.400 on a Tuesday evening, and this is an iPhone day. 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:03.440 So app released a new iPhone, a new some watches, 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.920 I guess, yeah, and it's you know, that's big, I guess. 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.360 So I thought we'd talk about it. Lyra's here with me, 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:14.280 and Lyras Smith, my producer, and really I think of 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:15.960 you know, I think of her as a friend as well. 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:17.399 I'd like to think that we are friends. 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:18.440 That's very nice. 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:20.600 Yeah, Well, I mean it's from the heart, you know, 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.120 I don't. I mean, she's contractually obligated to work on 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:25.399 the show, so I don't know if if it's the 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.480 feeling is totally mutual, but I'm choosing to perceive it 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:32.080 as a friendship and anyhow, so I thought we'd rap 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.399 a little bit about the iPhone and maybe some other things. 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:36.720 To be honest, my energy is very low this week. 0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:40.920 The onset of fall I think has somehow. I love fall, 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:44.120 but you know, I feel like summer. I don't know, 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.000 summer seemed short to me. It's been very hot and 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:50.760 humid here. Maybe it's just the weather. I feel like 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.360 something's happened where I just feel like I need to nap. 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.960 I need to hibernate. But anyhow, before I hibernate, we 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.639 should we should talk about what's going on in the world, 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:21.040 and namely what just happened with Apple new iPhone, a 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:24.440 brand new iPhone, the iPhone fifteen. I feel like, if 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:26.760 you're up to fifteen, you should start calling it something else, 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:29.600 like fifteen's too high of a number. I think, what 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.160 are they gonna do like the iPhone twenty? It seems dumb. 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.040 I would start giving it cool names, like like how 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:39.600 they name cars called like the iPhone Cheetah or like 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:48.720 the iPhone Lancer, the iPhone Vagabond, right, huh yeah at 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:52.800 any rate? Yeah, totally No, I uh, there is an 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.280 Apple event today. I completely forgot about it. It's just 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.079 a sign of the times. It's very interesting, you know, 0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.560 it used to be. I feel like it used to 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:01.520 be a really deal when they would release a new iPhone. 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:03.400 Maybe I'm crazy. People used to line up for them. 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.800 Maybe they still do. I don't know. Imagine lining up 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.239 for an iPhone. Just imagine like waiting in line to 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.600 get an iPhone. Can you imagine it? Have you done it? 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.320 No? I can't remember the last time I got in 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:19.040 a line to purchase something other than like a fun food. 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:20.480 Thing, like like a crow nut. 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:21.920 I mean, I didn't even get a credit, but I 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:26.120 got There's like a hot chicken place here that was 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:27.639 really really. 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:33.320 Popular, and you stood in line for a chicken. 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.280 Was sitting in line for like two and a half hours, 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:36.440 and I had the time of my life. 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:37.880 That's fucking nuts, honestly. 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:43.520 And then at the very end, a guy tried to cut. 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:50.080 Oh that's not good, and I said no, yeah, and 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.160 then the person in front of me let him cut. 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.600 Oh my god, why would you do that? 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.960 So then I told the person at the register, yeah, 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:04.080 what happened, and they they like went all. 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.120 Out, like the confiscated his sandwich. 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.400 We got all our food served free for one and 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.480 then those people got like banned and they didn't get 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:14.080 their food and it was a whole thing. 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.080 Wow, what a cop you are. Look at you? Who 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:17.720 are a real cop? 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:21.400 Well? I am a cop when it comes to chicken 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:22.480 that I have stood in. 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:25.440 Line, lines and lines. No, I think that's very rude 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:29.120 to cut in line. People who cut in line are 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.440 not good people. I don't know. I think maybe. I mean, 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.960 I've certainly gone to the front of lines, but like 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:35.720 in an airport when you're lining up, I feel like 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.360 there's a lot of confusion usually and people don't know 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.440 where to stand, and you just kind of like work 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:39.960 your way in. 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:40.440 You know. 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.159 I don't feel like I'm cutting most of the time. 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:47.360 But like people who like willingly or willfully cut into 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:49.280 a line where people are waiting, They're like, oh, you 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.520 can I just go up here. It's on the one hand, 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:55.640 you know they're smart, right, because they're just they're they're 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.800 counting on the goodwill of other people, and they are 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:01.400 using the good will of other people to get in 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:05.520 ahead in life, which you know it's a user mentality. 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:07.680 I don't know if it's a good position to be in, 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:11.479 like psychologically. So on the one hand, you know, they're 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:13.520 very clever, right you cut in line, you use the 0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.239 goodwill of another person to get into a spot ahead 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.440 of everybody else. On the other hand, they it seems 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:22.920 like a really pretty stupid and ugly practice. I feel 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:26.800 like there's something really offensive about it, right, Like you 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.160 don't have to wait like everybody else waited. On the 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.640 other hand, you know the best way to deal with 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:33.279 this is to never wait in a line, which is 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.080 my policy. Like there's almost nothing i'd wait and a 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.640 ligne for, I mean very little I would like stand 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.040 in line for. I'm trying to think of the last 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:45.840 time I was in a line, like besides the airport, 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:49.400 which doesn't really count, right, I would say, because you're 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:50.799 not like, oh, I need to get a hot dog, 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.040 You're like, I have to get on this plane no 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:54.960 matter what, so I might as well get into the line. 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:57.680 I stood in line for a movie. 0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:59.640 I don't think so, yeah, that's what I was going 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:00.200 to say. 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.640 I don't think so honestly, I don't remember. It's possible 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:06.080 some time in my life I stood in line for 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:10.480 a movie. Definitely probably happened like when I was younger, 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.880 But uh, I couldn't tell you anything I've stood in 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:15.680 line for recently. Yeah, I mean I had like a 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:17.360 grocery store or something, but that doesn't I don't think 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.960 that counts either. Anyway, I hope the chicken sandwich was 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:21.480 worth it or whatever it did you got? I mean, 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:22.080 was it good? 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:23.320 It was incredible? 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.360 Oh? There you go. Was it anything like a double down, 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:30.760 because I've had that? The double down is the double decker? 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:33.839 No double down, it's a KFC. 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:35.599 The chicken is the bun. 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.720 Yeah, chickens the bun, and then I forget what's in between. 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:39.520 Maybe I want to say bacon in between. The chicken 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:40.400 is like the meat. 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:42.280 Like a VLT. 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:44.720 It's like something like a BLT, but instead of bread, 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.520 it's got chicken, which is like, you know, sure, why not? 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:49.039 You know I had one of those? 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:50.320 Yeah, I had one too. It's pretty good. 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.280 Wasn't this This is like ten right? 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.160 Yeah? It was a long time ago. I mean that 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.720 it was not recent history anyhow. So Yeah, Apple released 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:02.240 a new iPhone today completely completely, That's how we got 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.400 all this topic. It's people waiting in line for iPhones. 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.160 But I think it's a testament to where technology has 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.400 taken us that nobody really cares about the new iPhone. 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.240 I mean, it's hard to imagine caring about a new 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:14.880 iPhone in any way, Like, will I get a new iPhone? Probably, 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:19.120 you know, will it be incrementally better than the last one? Definitely? 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:24.920 Does it matter? Not really? Not really? You know, sometimes 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:28.120 I see a video on the internet, like somebody comparing 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:32.800 the cameras of two smartphones, and I can't believe people 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:34.920 are still doing this after all this time. I mean, 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:36.920 to be fair, I did it for a long time, 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:40.000 but just interesting, you know. I feel like the world 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:41.480 we've got bigger problems right now. 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:46.120 I saw an interesting video about how the moment that 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:53.040 celebrities partying and public ended was the weekend that the 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:54.160 iPhone was released. 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:58.840 You're saying, because of the iPhone or the rise of 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:04.840 the camera in everyone's pocket, celebrities stopped partying in places 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.000 where they would be visible and have pictures taken of them. 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:11.320 That's what this woman who was around at the time, 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:15.760 and she said that the week before the weekend before 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:21.400 all the celebs were like openly doing drugs, hooking up, 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.880 like you'd go to a club in la and you 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:29.720 would like see anybody doing anything. And then the same 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:33.600 weekend that the iPhone came out was when Lindsay Loewen 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:40.040 had the ankle monitor on, and within twenty four hours 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.960 there were like hundreds of pictures from just regular people 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:46.720 like on the Internet of her at a club wearing 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:50.160 her ankle monitor. 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.800 Right right, bad situation for her, And so that was 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:56.280 like the end. Yeah, it's interesting. I mean, for sure, 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:01.719 the surveillance state we've all created has definitely behave certain behaviors. 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.560 On the other hand, think about all of the things 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.880 that we are now able to see and capture and 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:10.480 share that are that would not have been possible without smartphones. 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:14.640 I mean, like the many crimes of the police, you know, 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:18.680 police officers killing people, which like before would just happen 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:20.640 and people would just talk about it, but you had 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:21.400 no evidence there. 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:22.720 You wouldn't even hear about it. 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:24.240 You wouldn't even hear about it because it would just 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.080 be people talking and that would be it. So stuff 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:28.720 like that, I mean, you know, think about like the 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.840 like the capital the Capitol riots like that. The January 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.240 sixth shit is like a bunch of these dufises were 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.480 taking pictures of themselves and like you know, or taking 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:41.480 pictures of other people, and uh, that's like led to 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:43.240 a lot of people getting arrested and being put in 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:49.200 jail for being insurrectionists. You know, it's I mean, listen, 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.120 it's a it's a double edged sword. I mean when 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.440 I think about what I've captured with my smartphone camera, 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:57.400 like the moments in life that had been captured, the 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:02.800 sheer volume of photographic and video recordings and sort of 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.720 archives of our life and behavior, It's like never before, 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.320 I mean, never before in the history of humanity have 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.560 we been able to so document ourselves and access the 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:21.880 document and reference and research and analyze the document of ourselves. 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.480 I mean, it's a really weird time. I mean, it's strange. 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:26.640 And that is all due to the smartphone that is. 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:30.000 I mean, the celebrity thing is one thing, but I mean, 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.199 you know, it's let's like pan out no pun intended, 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:37.000 zoom out no pun intended to humanity, to regular people, 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:41.080 and think about all of the things that people can 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:45.000 be captured doing now, Like all the ways that they 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:46.880 change how we interact with each other. And I don't 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.840 just mean like social networks and stuff. I mean like 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.200 what might you not do at a party because you 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.840 know somebody's got a camera? What might you not say? 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:56.800 You know? And by the way, these are maybe good things, 0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:01.560 good to be inhibited sometimes, right, Like inhibition is probably 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:05.400 useful in a lot of situations. But you know, it's 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.600 like Apple has a setting for like kids to like 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:12.440 detect nudity in their photos in their messages, you know, 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:16.760 because that's the thing now that happens. Children are sending 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:18.880 like nude photos to each other, or they're sending you know, 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.520 kids are sending like photos of other people to people. 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:25.719 And it's like, yeah, like that shit wasn't happening when 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.280 I was a child, Like it wasn't even possible. So 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.439 the concept of it was just so far removed from 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:35.120 anything that you'd have to ever consider. You know, people 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:39.480 were worried about like TNA on MTV, which is the 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:43.439 name of my new documentary about TNA on MTV. No, 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.440 I don't you know, it's funny. I mean, but now 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:49.160 our problems are so much more complicated and fast moving. 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:51.840 But then on the flip side, as I said, what 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:53.800 a world we've created. But it does really a bit 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.000 like a surveillance state. I mean, like in one way, 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.080 it's great, right because it's really hard for like serial 0:11:58.160 --> 0:11:59.960 killers to operate. I mean that's like that's a plot, 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.280 I'd say, right, But now it's like mass shooters are like, hey, 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:04.960 I'm going to put it on Facebook, so you know, 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:07.319 six one, a half dozen or the other or whatever. 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.240 It's like we see a lot more, we know a 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:13.600 lot more we can capture and prevent, probably more now 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:17.360 because of the way that cameras are ubiquitous. But it 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:20.560 also has other implications that may not be as positive, 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.400 Like sometimes it feels like you're living in a police 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:27.679 state created by you and your friends and family, you know. 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.360 But on the other hand, an argument would be, well, 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.040 if you're not doing anything wrong, then who cares? But then, 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:35.000 of course the counter argument to that would be who 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.440 gets to decide what's wrong? But then, like that's a 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:41.640 slippery slope into like a Ben Shapiro type of situation. 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:45.360 It's like like like Alex Jones type of whatever. I mean, 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:49.280 you know you can't go down that road. But let's 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.800 just say serial killers have been really hurt by the 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:56.000 rise of the smartphone and CCTV technology, which I think 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.160 is probably a positive. I don't know. I don't know 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:01.560 what your take is on that. You don't have to take. 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:04.079 You don't have a hot take on serial killers. 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:07.000 I don't have all I take on serial killers. 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:22.520 Well, that makes one of us. It's dark stuff. Anyhow, 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:26.560 it's the new iPhone. So it's the iPhone fifteen, the 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.800 iPhone fifteen, I want to say, plus then there's another 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.000 one called the iPhone fifteen Pro. And then there's another 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:36.960 one called the iPhone fifteen Pro Mac. These are all 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.480 great names. They're all great names, and the new iPhones 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.600 and they have new features. I don't know. I used 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.800 to get very excited about new things like iPhones, and 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:46.160 now I feel nothing. I feel dead inside what I 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:49.520 hear about a new iPhone. It's been a real journey, 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.240 I think. Is it my age? I don't know. I 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:56.119 think it's just the state of technology. You know, we're 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.800 in a real valley. We've been in a valley for 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:00.480 a while. I think everybody had a little bit of 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:05.760 a like a false start on AI. I mean, crypto 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:07.760 and stuff has been a little bit of a false 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.160 start but then AI is kind of the second false start, 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.000 where it's like it's like things that exist that don't 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:16.480 exactly solve problems and maybe don't solve them as well 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:20.120 as everybody tells you they will. I think the iPhone, 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:22.640 you know, solves some real world problems, and I think 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.400 spoke to a real world desire for something. I think 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:28.560 everybody was sort of had become very acclimated to what 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:31.560 cell phones were capable of, and there was like what's 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.240 the next step here? Like where does this go? I 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.200 think that it makes a lot of sense where they 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:39.360 took it. But I think we are in a valley, 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:43.240 a real kind of vast valley right now. In terms 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.760 of technological innovation. I mean, there are things going on 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:51.360 that are amazing, but they're not exactly like world changing. 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.880 You might argue, well, the electric the rise of the 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:57.200 electric vehicle is you know, could be world changing, and 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.520 I don't know. I mean, the argument there could be, well, 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.040 they use natural resources in other ways and they're very 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:08.120 you know, resource intensive to produce, and you know, you'd 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:09.480 have to replace every car on the road with an 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:13.040 electric vehicle, which I will someday I assume happen. But 0:15:13.200 --> 0:15:15.520 is it like, is it a sea change moment for 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:17.920 it's not really. The cars are still cars. They're not. 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:19.720 They don't fly, you know, it's like we don't we 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.800 still need roads. I think that the iPhone was like 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.800 a completely new thing for most people, like a completely 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:29.960 new idea of this, of this everything in your hand, 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:31.480 everything in your pocket. I mean, it's like what we're 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:35.120 talking about the camera stuff amazing and amazing situation where 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.680 I follow a bunch of photographers on Instagram who are 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:40.760 just amazing photographers and they're using an iPhone and their 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:44.240 photos are, you know, incredible, and you're like, like, there's 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:48.480 just billions of images being created every day, millions billions. 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:50.080 I don't know how many it is, but just of 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.680 everything just being snapped everywhere you can imagine, you know, 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.680 and mostly most of them probably geolocated as well. It's 0:15:56.720 --> 0:15:59.440 like you think about the way we've kind of blanketed 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:03.920 the planet in photography and in geolocation and you know, navigation. 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:07.360 It's pretty wild. But I think, but getting back to 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:08.800 the point about the iPhone, I think it served a 0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:11.880 real purpose, you know, at a moment that that purpose 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:15.360 needed to be served. You know, electric cars, forrinstance, are 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.840 simply an evolution of a car. It's a different way 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:22.200 to build a car, but they do essentially the same things. 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:25.360 Will that have a huge impact on the planet, the 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:26.960 health of the planet, It's hard to say. At this point, 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.000 it feels like the health of the planet. Maybe we 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.920 may be a little bit past the window for great 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.240 repair now we just you know, we're probably more like, 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.000 I need a really good boat or something like, you know, 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.120 is Apple going to make boats to get me out 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:43.720 of the cities, the sunken cities of the world. Maybe 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.840 someday electric boats, I mean, that could be a whole 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.200 new category. Wouldn't be a game changer, but I think 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:51.120 a lot of people could need boats in the near future. 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:53.160 I don't know. If you've seen the movie water World, 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:57.280 it's a very realistic depiction of a future where the. 0:16:57.280 --> 0:16:59.960 World is Can you have an electric boat? 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:00.760 Yeah? 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:04.680 Of course you could charge a boat in the water. 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:06.439 Could charge it. Yeah, you could charge it and then 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:09.080 not kill anybody. I mean, you plug it in somewhere. 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:11.960 Boat you could use solar. Wouldn't you need a lot 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:14.560 of solar to charge it? I mean, you know, hypothetically, 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:17.879 maybe there's a plug. You know, there's like a plug 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:20.120 like on the dock. You know you can. Yeah, there's 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:22.600 like some power running somewhere. There could be I'm saying, 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:28.240 you know, electric boats exist. Okay, I'm not like making 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:33.680 this up. They exist. I mean, here's a Wikipedia entry. 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.600 Electric boat is a powered watercraft driven by electric motors, 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:41.160 which are powered by either onboard battery packs, solar panels, 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:44.960 or generators. So boats powered by electricity have been used 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:48.080 for over one hundred and twenty years. So I guess. 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:50.960 I guess not only are there electric boats, but they're 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:55.040 like old technology for boats. So that's interesting. Yeah, like 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:58.119 electric boats are a real thing, Okay, I mean they're 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:01.680 like a whole thing apparently so at any rate, So, 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:04.879 water World is a film starring Kevin Kostner where the 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:09.440 world is covered in water, and honestly, I don't know 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:11.320 if I've ever seen the entire water World. Now that 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:13.440 I'm thinking of it, I have to put that on 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:17.040 my letterbox. But I think the thing is like, you know, 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:20.719 the only commodity is like fresh water or something. I 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:24.800 want to say, maybe that's mad Max similar setup, I think, 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:26.919 but at any rate, that could be us soon and 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:29.040 people are gonna need boats and that's where Apple comes in, 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:33.080 maybe just saying that's possibility. Yeah, it's interesting. We're in 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:36.680 a technological valley. We are in a it's very incremental. 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:39.800 Everything's very incremental. Everything's very like based on you know, 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:43.520 if you loved If you love this technology, you'll love 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:45.560 this one that uses a similar technology and does some 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.120 stuff that's sort of similar but isn't exactly the same thing. 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:50.480 I think the biggest deal with the iPhone today do 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:53.640 you know what the biggest thing is? The biggest announcement today? 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:57.399 Is it the camera? No? 0:18:57.880 --> 0:18:58.160 Wrong? 0:18:58.480 --> 0:18:58.720 Wrong? 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:02.720 If you hid lyra you continue to be incorrect about 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:08.280 electric boats and now the iPhone. The biggest deal today 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:13.040 is that they've changed the port on the iPhone. Okay, 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:15.679 they've given it a new port. The lightning port is done. 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:17.480 The light do you know what the lightning port is? 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:19.800 That that's the you know whatever, it's the fucking thing 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:22.480 at the bottom of the iPhone that has they think USBC. 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:26.359 The USBC is what they're using now. USBC is what 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:28.520 like all of their computers and the iPads us But 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:31.240 for some reason they kept like a set of products 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:34.920 using lightning ports, which was the iPhone, the air pods, 0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:37.960 and it's some other whatever now, so now every now 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:41.000 it's going to be everybody has a universal standard. It's 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:43.560 all just universally standardized. 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:45.840 Weren't they like legally required to do that. 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:49.760 Yes, Yes, in Europe. I believe Europe created a situation 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:54.720 that was like required electronics manufacturers to make things like 0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:59.720 charging ports compatible because otherwise it's like incredibly wasteful to 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:03.000 create lots of different standards that all do the same thing, right, 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:04.600 and like you have to produce all of this extra 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:06.919 stuff because of the change and the difference in the 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:09.480 pins or whatever, and it's like not it's really like 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:13.680 pretty stupid since everybody else is using a standardized like 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:17.560 literally every other company uses the USBC standard and Apple 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:20.399 has its own things classic Apple. Actually, they've done it. 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:23.040 They've done it. They've done this quite a bit historically, 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:26.560 where they have a port that nobody else uses or 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:29.200 they're the first to use it, and it takes forever 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:31.000 for it to be adopted, or it never gets adopted, 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:33.440 or it only gets adopted a little bit, you know, 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:35.199 But that's cool. I think it's like you know, like 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:38.440 like Fleetwood Max said, you can go your own way. 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:40.520 I think that's what they said, is that the lyric? 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:42.240 Am I misremembering. 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:42.800 That that's the lyric. 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.200 That's the lyric. So you know, they go their own 0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:48.520 way on a regular basis, and sometimes it pans out 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:51.080 and sometimes it doesn't. I assume they made a boatload 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:54.879
