WEBVTT - Conversations On Tone (and Tone Deafness) 0:00:01.360 --> 0:00:08.039 No, what's up, and welcome back to another episode. It's 0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:11.760 you think about it, you gotta blame America. 0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:12.520 Last for slavery. 0:00:13.600 --> 0:00:16.160 And that sounds crazy, right when you really really think 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:19.120 about it, right, but you have to blame America last. 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:25.000 Remember America is just receiving stolen property or receiving slave property. 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:29.080 They were like, they didn't orchestrate no version of slavery. 0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:32.800 They didn't really enslave people. I mean, forgive me because 0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:35.040 there was a couple of natives, but that wasn't. 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:35.800 The history model. 0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:39.160 Yeah, yeah, yeah, they didn't. 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:43.640 They didn't institute it on a mass level in America 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:49.640 as much as they became receiving of theoretically stolen property. 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:54.520 So really, in reparations, the reparation conversation is a lot 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:59.920 greater than just America. So it makes sense that you know, 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.520 little Biden would go over there and do that bootshit 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.720 when he hasn't apologized to the actual people in America 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:08.120 for slavery him more is that. 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:12.920 Yeah, that's just the funniest I mean, yeah, because you're 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:15.600 the one thousands, right, I mean chronologically, even if you 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.840 were to talk about like shares of time, you know 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:20.960 that's happened to the US flag, like the US. I 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.560 don't consider the US to like people will look at 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:28.720 seventeen seventy six, the country wasn't the country on its 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:32.319 own two feet until like eighty nine. So if you 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.480 just go like say the gap between that period the 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:39.399 start of civil wars about seventy years, the European portion 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:43.479 prior to that's like two hundred years or one hundred and. 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:46.840 Eighty years or something like whatever it is, it's a 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:50.400 lot more. Yeah, So it's like I don't know that. 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:56.120 Yeah, but yeah, there's a conglomerate of probably fifteen countries 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:57.680 maybe twice on the hook. 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:03.840 Yeah, everybody, everybody being everybody, America being last. Yeah, but 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.840 for some reason, like the average person, I get it. 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:11.160 The emotions of it all again targets the country that 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:15.399 you saw then. But again, the first countries that would 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.680 be on the hook are the ones off the Ivory Coast, 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:20.600 the western African countries. They're on the hook first for 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:24.919 selling people off into slavery, right, selling humans. And then 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:28.880 the European countries that were trafficking the slaves, right, they 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:32.400 were trafficking like on the on the you on the ups. 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:36.520 Level right across the Atlantic and the trafficking to the 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.120 to the western you know, to the western world. 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:41.639 They're on the hook, right for sure, the Dutch. You know, 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:42.359 first thing. 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.200 Niggas want to do, run to the Netherlands and go 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.440 to the red light district. Like these people been down 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.160 with some bullshit against humanity for a long time. 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:52.680 Oh yeah, yeah, I. 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.480 Mean so you know, I wouldn't be surprised, you know, 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.600 if they they all, if all their prostitution is on 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:00.800 the books and the real life it. 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:03.679 Is. 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:08.400 It's just that's that's what the funniest. 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:11.680 I don't know, I mean it is in general speak though, 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.080 because possession is like nine tests, who gets caught the 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:19.560 most the guy with with the crack, Yeah, that is true. 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:22.120 So it's just this is kind of how it goes. 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.800 Last guy holding the bag gets caught with the bag. 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:29.840 Yeah, that's true. True, that's normal though. 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:34.040 I guess that's that's that that standard that that that 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.720 don't require much intellect, right, that just standards. 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:38.160 So I'm not I'm not. 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:43.000 Totally upset by that lazily that lazy intellectual stance that 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:44.640 most human beings have with that. 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:46.840 So that apologize. 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.240 We're very sorry that you received the check that you 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:53.080 cashed and maybe didn't quite appropriately apply to research and development. 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.240 Let's give you some more money to make up for 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:57.880 the money that you already got. 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:03.880 Oh man, if that's right up his alley, though, that's 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:10.000 right up and shiden, what's crazy is man?

That's some ship that they would. 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.960 Do, even like for the people we took from Hearing Change. 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.839 Yeah that you bought. 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:27.160 Yeah, but but listen, somebody asked me about you the 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:30.040 other day, right, and I'm like, God, no, no, it 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.120 wasn't bad. It was a really great question. And I 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.440 was telling them because they thought you were really cool. 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.800 And I'm like, Peter is not a white person that 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.840 thinks he's black. And it's funny because we use the 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.880 correct words like you're not tone death completely, and a 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.720 lot of white folks in general in this country are 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.480 tone death right. They have no concept of tone. So 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.240 you're not a wigger like that ain't true. You're like 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:56.480 a regular, you know, Peter, you're a white man regular. God, 0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.440 but you're aware you're not totally Huh. 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.599 The only people who ever called me that is white people? 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:07.120 What w word? Oh? 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.359 I never I never got that from you. I never 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:12.599 got that from you. I never in my life, God 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:17.919 that you were that you were like acting like a 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.760 brother like never in my life, never in mine. I know, 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:22.920 and I do because I got homies like that that 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:24.760 you know, they raised around the culture. 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:27.479 I never got that. But that's the difference. You're not 0:05:27.640 --> 0:05:30.239 tone that, like you really get toned. 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.839 That don't mean you you know, you still see it 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:36.400 from very much your perspective based off information, but you 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.840 have a concept something is going on, and you're aware 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:41.039 of the tone happening. 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.239 Sure, sure, so I think that's the difference. 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:48.480 Like you never ever came across as like somebody that's 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.440 trying to be a brother. You just came across his 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.320 peak and you kind of got idea what's happening, and 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.000 you fuck with You fuck with a lot of different people, 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:57.760 so you're like, Okay, I see what they own, Like 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.280 I know what they own, you know what every body 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:02.680 on You know what they even if you don't know 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:06.000 in depth what they plight is. I mean, you're aware, 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.760 you're not totally like the average white person. But I 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:10.160 don't quite get it. What do you Why are you 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:10.840 to upset? 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.480 You would never say no shit like that you'll be like, 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:14.479 I get why you mad. 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:16.920 I mean, you would say this is how you should 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:20.320 do address your anger, but you would never be totally oblivid, 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:24.719 totally oblivious to watch someone's upset type of person. 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:28.279 I don't aspire to be a piece of land so 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.080 much as I inspire to be a bridge. 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.120 And that no for real, and that that is really 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.960 the difference, you know what I mean. And I think 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:40.000 that's what made No Killing special. And as it's getting 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.160 better because people may hit me, especially over the last 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:46.440 four or five episodes, saying how crazy it's gotten, it's like, well, 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:51.720 I think Peter is like like Peter is more a 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:56.479 dominant space and then like I'm kind of finding a 0:06:56.560 --> 0:07:00.400 place to really go deeper into thought. Right, So you 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.560 know it took time, but you're getting a richer podcast, 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:05.840 you I mean, you're getting a richer podcast. And even 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:11.000 when we do extreme you know, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.760 like it's a richer experience for the listener because it's 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:18.640 a lot of things that we don't mind articulating, you know, 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:22.720 or thoughts and caves thought the thought caves that we 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:23.680 don't mind going into. 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:26.480 Yeah, and I think that like one thing that works 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.520 the best, like one of the most critical factors in 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.040 the way that, like our parent kind of operates or 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.920 or allows us to flourish. We're both just two people 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.640 that are independently very secure ourselves. 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:41.120 Sure, you know what I mean. 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.920 You get some people who have like a hard wall 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:46.280 or they really. 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:48.080 In their content, they start to get cold, they're going 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:49.160 to try to they. 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.680 Don't want to investigate emotions past that wall. So this 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.800 is where it stops at because other than that, I 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:56.320 have to think they. 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:59.360 Want their image or their you know, theory or whatever 0:07:59.440 --> 0:07:59.920 to be potent. 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:01.000 Actually compromised. 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:06.200 Miamiage is so fucking compromised it doesn't exist so that 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:07.960 that affords a certain amount of freedom. 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:14.920 An operation, no sellings JL, my brother Peter in the house, 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:17.720 digging in you know, I mean, going through some of 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:18.840 these thought caves. 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.640 And I do need to publicly apologize real quick for 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.200 my inability to convert a clock in my own brain 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:27.840 on Friday. 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:31.760 Oh for the stream for them, I don't know, I 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.080 don't know if I don't know if everybody that listens 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.440 to the podcast goes to the stream just yet. 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.360 So if you are listening to the podcast and you 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:41.679 hear about the stream we do Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:47.679 Go to YouTube, subscribe to Digital Soapbox, Digital Soapbox, and 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.000 that's where we do the stream Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:54.680 But we really don't do We don't do the podcast 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:56.959 to promote the stream. We do the stream to promote 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:57.560 the podcast. 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.960 So I never was really as interested in and telling 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:03.400 you know, the guys who listen to the pot I 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.720 don't think they're the same person like I think I 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:10.600 think people that So forgive me shout out to everybody 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:11.920 who listens to the podcast. 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:15.880 You are You are the more intelligent you know what 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:16.200 I mean? 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:21.559 Person like you don't need to see pictures to get ideas, 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:23.920 you know, people who do like we don't. We do 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.640 a real podcast. It ain't about the video portion. We've 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.880 never got it correct. I'm trying still, but and I 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.400 know we're missing out on a lot of opportunities because 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.560 we don't have a really great visual portion. But we 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.200 really focus on the conversation, you know what I'm saying. 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:41.160 So we do the stream to bring people from YouTube 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.960 like that not as intelligent audience. 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:47.280 Forgive me anybody that's listening, but that. 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:52.000 Audience not as intelligent it's the content that's not as intelligent. 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:53.439 Do you think so? 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:55.520 Yeah, And I don't. I don't. 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.240 I don't mean like when we talk over there, we're 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:02.439 talking about less intelligent stuff. But because of the nature 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:06.400 of the visual distribution and stuff like that, it is 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.520 it requires less to consume. I don't think that's on 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.560 the audience. I think it's just on the nature of 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:15.640 the medium. It's not really us or them. It's just 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:21.439 sort of the intellectual price of entrance is a. 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.360 Little lower over there YouTube. 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:25.360 But it doesn't mean that they don't have the money 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:27.800 to pay more intellectually to get in. And it doesn't 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:31.640 mean that we're providing sleazier shit. It's just the fact 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.800 that that's just how it works in the I mean, I. 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:38.079 Just think some people need to see pictures, sure, so, 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.000 And I don't want to talk shit like, I'm not 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:42.320 saying they're not intelligent. 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:46.320 I just think when you can't visually put. 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:49.600 Together something in your mind, yeah, you know, it's a 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:53.600 limited you're limiting the experience. What I'm saying, it's like 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.000 if you need to see the picture, it's like a 0:10:56.000 --> 0:11:00.319 book versus a movie like this, the podcast is the book, 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:05.079 the stream is the movie. I mean, and it's important 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:07.400 that we remember that even when we start to as 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:10.400 we move on to next season, because most likely I 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.280 think we'll be back for another season or whatever the 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.440 extension is gonna be if we if we do it, 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.640 and it's got to go to another level. 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.160 So I have to be real mindful. 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.800 That like, that's a movie, like and then we have 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:27.080 to get more mindful that this is a book like, oh, 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:31.120 really pushing the envelope of who we have, you know, 0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:35.040 as we start to grow into guests having definitely a 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:39.440 more intelligent base or an intelligent conversation with more intelligent 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:42.480 people that really could bring information because I think people 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:48.360 who listen or read things they want information versus the stream, 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.800 which should be more of a movie, more sensationalized, more 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:56.600 shiny lights, you know, glitter jazz hands yea, so like 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.840 even like the backgrounds and figuring out things to put 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:03.480 by behind us and small things to make it to where. 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:06.040 It's a production. Yeah. 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.040 Do you do you think is that is that a 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.559 fair assessment people that read versus people that like audiobooks 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.240 versus people that read, Is there really a different. 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:20.000 I don't know enough about how the human brain works 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:22.240 to answer that question the way I want to. That's 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:26.040 fair because there's certain like I when I read a book, 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.600 I read at the pace of conversation because I want 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.400 to be able to manipulate and apply all the information 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:37.960 as I take it in, which I do do more 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.040 easily when I listen to somebody that's audio. 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.520 So you kind of you starting to lean to audiobooks. 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:51.480 Yeah, I've always preferred audio because I can hear like 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:55.840 if someone yeah, well not even I'm doing something else, 0:12:55.920 --> 0:13:01.200 but I can listen to somebody talk about I don't know, 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:07.040 like some say. It's something about like just basic principles 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:11.480 of like a technology, of what makes a technology market grow, 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:13.680 So something like that where I can I can't take 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.640 it in with my ears and apply it to current 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:20.480 scenarios and expand upon it in real time. When I'm reading, 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.120 I can do that, but I have to read slower 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.760 to do it, and which which lends me to just 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:30.000 simply reading at the rate that I talk. So when 0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:33.920 I do read stuff like for pleasure, I it takes 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:35.800 me a long time to read stuff, but I get 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:36.400 more out of. 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:37.720 It than your average reader does. 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:39.400 When I talk to other people who have read the 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.880 same things, but they read it in a tenth of 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:45.240 the time, which you know stands to reason. 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:49.880 Great point, Like that's that's what I've been dealing with 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.000 when it comes to the anatomy of a story, Like 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.400 I've read that book three times, not the complete cover 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.280 to cover, but just starting over to the point like 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:58.760 I like I told you, I wouldn't got. 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:02.920 A highlight it, but a couple ideas. I lose my 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:03.520 train of thought. 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:08.240 So next year, definitely, I want to start doing films 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:09.079 like like. 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:15.600 How they used to do those old audio films. I 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:16.760 know that sounds weird. 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:19.920 Because they're like soundless. Yeah, they used to have like 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:21.600 radio shows, like they. 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.840 Were radio shows like a Little Orphan, any radio show 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:26.280 on World War two or whatever. 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:30.040 Sure, yeah I never saw that, but yeah the movie 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:30.840 The Christmas Story. 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:33.960 Yeah, but like I want to do like audio I'm 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.200 calling them audio films even though that don't make sense, 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.480 but I'm saying I want to do stuff that targets 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.800 people like truckers, people that live their life on the road, 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.560 Like I want to produce some of those next year. 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:51.600 That's really important to me. I feel like everybody's chasing 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:52.800 one particular space. 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.320 I think it would be a cool spinoff thing real 0:14:56.400 --> 0:15:00.640 quick from branding standpoint, because the shows no ceilings, but 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:05.080 it was sub genre of we'll call like audio films, 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:08.360 call it no cameras because it's Mike's only I like that. 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:11.160 I like that, but I want to do that next year. 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:16.000 Like I think we just we need to really push 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:19.400 the boundaries, you know, even even even the thought of tone, 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:23.120 like like the tone definis and shit like that, Like 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:27.320 we need to get back to pushing the boundaries, you 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.280 know what I mean, Like we may have a slight 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:33.320 window where we could start to really do things that 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:38.120 challenge the status quote and everybody is not gonna take 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.360 every dime out of our bank account or put us 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.840 in prison, Like this may be the last. 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:45.640 Window we have. Yeah, you know what I mean. 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.680 I don't think I think this country is gonna go 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:50.680 through a big thing where it's gonna get very left 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:54.120 for a long time, you know what I'm saying. So 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.960 I think it would be really wise if we start 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:01.320 pushing the boundaries and and just getting back to it. 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:03.880 And what you were saying. 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:05.640 Before before I lose that train of thought, Like that's 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:07.520 why I be writing now, knows when you be talking 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:11.400 because I'm listening well, but no keeping a memory. But 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.920 that's why I don't think people are stupid. I think 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:19.280 people learn different. So when I say intellect, I'm talking 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:23.240 about the ability to process something right, So like a reader, right, 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:27.480 you could process what they're describing as a picture. That's 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.280 a level of intellect. But I don't think the person 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:34.680 that can't is stupid. I think they may need help 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:37.400 to process it. And that's why I think all different 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:41.119 mediums is important when it comes to teaching or inform it. 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:46.400 So like but that's my biggest beef with a lot of. 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.400 And I think maybe IQ tests are sort of an 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:55.440 attempt to sure cross that bridge. But a lot of 0:16:55.720 --> 0:17:00.880 like testing and stuff is just really like your ability 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:07.000 to kind of retain and manage information, And there isn't 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:11.560 great testing on your ability to create information. And that's 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:15.840 that's what that to me separates like the men from 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:16.680 the boys. 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.480 And like the intellectual world of which I am a boy. 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:25.440 But observationally, it's like you can't really test for the unknown. 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.879 And like the real heavy hitters there, there aren't the 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:32.160 ones who don't need this or that to be able 0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:34.280 to retain or take into the information. They're the ones 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.520 who can create new information out of the you know, 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:38.720 you can turn a house into the bricks that you 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:40.399 have or whatever. 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:43.960 I said it backwards as I get it. 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.560 But that's like still still is like that still is 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:53.680 a genius, right, but still also is like a wanderer. Yeah, right, 0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:56.560 still is the kind of person to me intellectually is 0:17:57.800 --> 0:18:03.600 he's not necessarily intelligence as he's really smart. Like I'll 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.240 be telling steal some shit and He'll just wander somewhere 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:10.000 else and I'll be like did but like as a teacher, 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:13.159 right because I'm such a like I'm really starting to 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:14.160 understand my role. 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:16.359 Like Chris used Toart saying that, like last you like 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:16.840 a teacher. 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:19.280 But like I'm like I know how to rel him 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:22.600 back in come back, come back, because I'll be talking 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:24.600 about some ship and he was just yeah, man, I 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:26.399 was making a pot of other day in this pie 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:29.719 just about the pie. Hey cuz come back cause focus, 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.920 come back, come back. Hey hey right, stay right here 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:35.960 because listen to what I'm saying. I need you to 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:36.800 create from this. 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:39.320 Space because he'll just go into a space. 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:43.840 And like he like remember this shit, Uh what's the ship? 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:44.440 Uh? 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:46.800 The dude with the football head and he'd be like 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:52.160 callabastis and then he'll start just making some imaginary work. Hey, 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:56.720 Arnold Bastes, and you say one word because it's a 0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.160 trigger cuz to go like somewhere else. 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:00.639 Yeah, And. 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:05.080 Intellect is really about managing that's a good point. It's 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:09.800 about managing information to some degree, and it's about managing. 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:13.040 Relationships like some homies like Pluck. 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:15.400 I know how to deal with my homeboy Pluck, completely 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:19.520 different than I deal with but still then like Pluck 0:19:19.560 --> 0:19:22.200 taught me, he showed me how to manage my relationship 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:26.280 with my little brother with k K Stam. So again, 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:30.880 like true intellect is is really the ability to receive 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:37.080 and manage sure with is smart is about how you 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:38.199 you know, exhale it. 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:39.600 Yeah, you know what I mean. 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:42.840 Because the win is so I think we have a 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:46.840 lot more witty people than we like, smart. 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:48.040 People than we have intelligent people. 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:53.520 Because even we said being educated, that's just getting information 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:57.440 and then being able to repeat it that specific information. 0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:01.920 But then intellect is then ability to take that information. 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:04.000 And apply in being able to like I do that 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:07.320 really well, Like you could teach me the basics of 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:11.080 like war strategy on the battlefield and I can make 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:15.360 it work in basketball. Yeah, that's kind of where I'm 0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:16.359 all right at. 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:20.280 That's that's like the book I'm reading, and it's so 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:21.520 dry that it's just like. 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:27.119 I like to try to. 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:30.080 I fancy myself reading this book on the plane, but 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:32.399 when I get on the plane, I get tired and 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:34.640 it's so dry and thick a book that I read 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:36.840 it for like twenty minutes and fall asleep. So I'm 0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:41.280 like barely encroaching into this book. But it's it's like 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:46.200 the art of military innovation and it's and it's a 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:51.560 case study of like the different information paradigm of like 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:54.760 the Israeli defense forces versus like VISA via the US 0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:58.960 Army or other smaller armies that don't have resources, you know, 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:02.439 no limits, et cetera, et cetera, but you can as 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:04.920 it's happening. It's like, Okay, what this book is really 0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:10.160 about is how do you foster an environment for appliable 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:12.960 creativity versus what other environments do. 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:15.240 Most people usually. 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:18.639 Default to that stifles it, you know, it just happens 0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:20.080 to them about through that again. 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:23.240 Culture. Yeah, that's all it is. 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:26.000 And this is what I was saying to somebody when 0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:28.479 they keep asking me about hip hop culture and you 0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:30.959
