Like I think even as somebody who's our 29 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: parents where my parents were live in the sixties, you 30 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, And my dad was a panther, 31 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: I say, at all the time, just all that was 32 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: happening at that time. I think I'll ever really connected 33 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: the dots, you know what I'm saying, The summer Love, 34 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: what was happening in San Francisco, the monery, the birth 35 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: of the freaking music festival, the space race, mad wars, 36 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: Like how much was happening at the same time.

I don't think I really appreciated 39 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: it until now, what it must have really felt like 40 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: to live in such a time, because all this was 41 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,679 Speaker 1: happening on top of each other.

This is finally a way to bring 93 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: in some of my other work, my poetry and literature 94 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: and music into this show because this is topic like 95 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: is dabbled in my book. Okay, so here we go. 96 00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: Let's get into it. So I'll be talking to some 97 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: of the homies who have like moved in here, uh 98 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: here is in Los Angeles from other parts of the 99 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: world country, um, you know, from Hood's other places or 100 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: just just other cities period. And the one thing that 101 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: they say about uh. Los Angeles is like you don't 102 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: ever know. It's hard to tell when you in an 103 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: active community, Like what is like is this do they 104 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 1: shoot over here? Is it gangs over here? Because this 105 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: this looks like a nice neighborhood. You know, it's a 106 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: lot of it's a lot of spots like that where like, no, 107 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: it's it's very active. It's just I think the Inland 108 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: Empire is a perfect example of that. The Inland Empire 109 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 1: is like it's an hour east of Los Angeles, proper 110 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: for those who aren't from here. So it's these this 111 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: it's a sprawling suburb, but it don't feel like a 112 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: suburb if they look like nice. Its parts of it 113 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: that are amazing, but then there's other parts. Did you 114 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: get in certain parts of the I E. And it's like, 115 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: especially it's funny when you moved out there and you're 116 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: still trying to navigate all these all this gang life, 117 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: and you're like, man, I could have stayed in l 118 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: A for all this. If I still gotta I still 119 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: gotta figure out what's set this neighborhood from and this 120 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: nice two story house. You know, you just like, dog, 121 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: what's happening? You know? The Crenshaw District. Like, there's part 122 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: of the Crenshaw District that are these are very nice houses, 123 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: you know, but don't let them nice houses to fool you. 124 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: You you could die in these streets. My homeboy, uh 125 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: DJ Effecto, rest in peace. My my best friend he 126 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: passed away, uh a couple of years back. He lived 127 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: in the west side of Long Beach and in his neighborhood. Like, listen, 128 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: I think it's a nice these are like nice houses, 129 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: but you're in you're in a hood, You're in a 130 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: turf like, so you can't just be you have just 131 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: be sitting on the porch. You know. The question is 132 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: like why, And I think we talked about this once 133 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: before where families get the same idea anybody else does that, Yo, 134 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna move out to this nicer neighborhood. And but 135 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: their kids is like part of the set. So they 136 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: just go out there and set up shop and start recruiting. 137 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: You know this this it's an untapped neighborhood. It's it's 138 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: it's uh, it's the wild wild West. It's the Great Frontier. 139 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: There's so much money to be made, there's so many 140 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: licks to hit because ain't nobody out here, and and 141 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: and since it belongs to nobody in terms of like 142 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: street stuff, since it belongs to nobody, since I'm here first, 143 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: it now belongs to me. But if you step back 144 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: and you go, man, people already live here, it's like 145 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: it's rather colonial. You get out there and you you 146 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: plant your flag. I mean that's the idea to show 147 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: that that Jill Politics gang bang. And you just go 148 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: plant your flag and now it's yours. You subdue it, 149 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. If there are people there there, 150 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: you conquer like uh yeah, you just I mean, you 151 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: conquered who's there, and you claim it for yourself, you 152 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Like I would say that's right 153 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: or wrong. I'm just saying, we understand it. But the 154 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 1: best place to conquer is a place that ain't nobody 155 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: at you know, you get to build it from scratch. 156 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 1: Now you're not I mean, you ain't hurt nobody, you 157 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, ain't nobody here, there's just you 158 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: get to just the whole thing's yours. Now we say 159 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: that about neighbors. There's nowhere on earth like that where 160 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: there's literally nobody there unless you're talking about the middle 161 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: of the ocean. But then it's but who owns the ocean? 162 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: Ain't that a crazy question? Why do we even think 163 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: in those terms? Is who own owns the ocean? I mean, 164 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: it's it was here before. How do you own How 165 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: are you gonna own the ocean? There's parts of the ocean. 166 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: There's only one part of the ocean. It's off it's 167 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: in between New Zealand and Antarctica that all of the 168 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: nations got together and agreed, okay, let's not touch this. 169 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: There's there's a documentary on it called the Last Ocean, 170 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: and it's this spot that actually Chilean sea baths come 171 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: from um which is why they cost so much. But 172 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: they're not really Chileans. They're called toothfish really, And so 173 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: if you want to as an active protest, never ordered 174 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: that because it's coming from this part of the ocean 175 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: that we all agreed we wouldn't fish in. I mean again, 176 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 1: go go see it, Go see the docks called the 177 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: Last Ocean. Anyway, do you ever step back and think, like, 178 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: how do you own the ocean? Like how do you 179 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: stay clean to it? And for what why you want 180 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: to own the ocean? What the resources we can't drink 181 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: the water, but you eat the fish and up under 182 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: that might be oil. I mean, did we not see 183 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: the Gulf of Mexico catch on fire. It's it's resources, 184 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: you know, you you you control the product you if 185 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: it's yours. Now apply that logic to space. Who owns space? 186 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: You should be saying, what the hell kind of question? 187 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: Is that? What you mean? Own space? But is it 188 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: that crazy of a question? Uh? Somebody owned the electricity, 189 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: somebody on the water, somebody on the air, somebody owned 190 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: the heat. Somebody own the vegetables, somebody own our food, 191 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: somebody own the trees. Who owns the moon? You should 192 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: be going, how can you own the moon? Well, it's 193 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: I guess whoever gets there first, whoever puts their flag 194 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: in first, owns it. Is that I mean? Is that 195 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: what we're doing? What about Mars? It's a dead planet? 196 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: Is it a dead planet? Do you think this is 197 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: really altruistic? That we're really just like, for the sake 198 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: of mankind, trying to be interplanetary? Is that? I mean? 199 00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: Is that really? What is? Ah? We're just looking for 200 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: It's just like I always moved to suburbs because looking 201 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: for a nicer house, like or is there some money 202 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: to be made use your antenna's? I think you know 203 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: the answer. I mean, what brought these European explorers to 204 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: Africa and then chipped us off to the Caribbeans? Like 205 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 1: just why why do all these African countries speak speak 206 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: French and Portuguese? Because they just came there and planted 207 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: a flag. You know what I'm saying, Like this, this 208 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: is how we treat our planet. I don't know what 209 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: made us think we would treat any other planet any different. 210 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: Now here comes a plug because I thought about this 211 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: and I wrote a poem about it. So this is 212 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: the first time in my I heart media history that 213 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna mix these two worlds, my music and poetry 214 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: world in my podcasting world.

You wrong, mom, Money does grow on trees. 230 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: Trees are money. We just ain't getting them because you're 231 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: killed them to build the KaDee. Jules gentrified our saviors 232 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: before me and you could get out the nigger cords.

It's been my 240 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: finding we've seen to respond better at crisis than we 241 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: do warning. And I'm starting to wonder about that first part. 242 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: But if the visa ever got first, it with body 243 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: that beat. If we're not careful, our own health will 244 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: be just another goal rush YouTube, busy taking advantage of you, 245 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: to even enjoy you, to realize your quote unquote bucks 246 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: to give are a fossil fuel, a non renewable resource. Yes, 247 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: there's enough of you to go around, but where is 248 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: your code? Everything ain't for everybody. When's the last time 249 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: you told someone no? Even when the fag was oh 250 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: so yes? Why are there chunks of you floating around 251 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: the farmers and stock market? You couldn't bring your full 252 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: self to a moment even if you tried. But I 253 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: tell you what I know. The dirt always wins Trees 254 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: when they're ready, split sidewalks, expanding their shoulder blades. Earth 255 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: as Mars long after us. We'll be fine, but you 256 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: need a break. We need each other, and although you 257 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: don't owe us anything, we're just lucky to be in 258 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: your orbit. If we're not careful, Mars will be just 259 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: like the dead Earth we just left. I'm gonna say 260 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: thank you as if y'all learn in person. But for 261 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: the sake of the book, I was using the metaphor 262 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: of what's happening outside of us to bring it into 263 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: what's happening inside of us, to not just see not 264 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: only the planets just a source of of resources just 265 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: for us to take, but to also see ourselves that 266 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: way and did not see each other that way. That 267 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: like even your own energy and your your gifts, your 268 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: talents are just like man, you know sometimes you need 269 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: to break like, don't treat yourself like that, like be 270 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: climate friendly and carbon neutral to your own heart. Also, 271 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: you know, I'm saying that was kind of the extended 272 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: metaphor for that. But the point I was trying to 273 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: make was like, now that private companies are shooting off 274 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: into space, like what would motivate rather than dude, that's 275 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: rad a Bezos Branson a musk to do this stuff. 276 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: And I'm like, when you get it's a gold rush, 277 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: you gotta get there and get yours. But even more 278 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: than just digging the resources out of the ground, here's 279 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: what y'all are seeing. These people ain't looking for gold 280 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: only they're also shovel salesman. If I could build the 281 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: boat to get you to the moon, I'm gonna be 282 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 1: much more wealthy than whatever you can get out of 283 00:17:32,440 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: the moon because it ain't but so much in there. Okay, 284 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: the modern space race, uh so Al Jazeer has a 285 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: pod called to Take and they did a really good 286 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 1: recent um sort of breakdown of some of the specifics 287 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,959 Speaker 1: of what we're looking at. Now for our case, I'm 288 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: gonna go through some of the specifics, but I want 289 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: to talk about, like one, using your antennas to understand 290 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: like why they're doing this, and then to how this 291 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: affects us here on Earth, like what difference does it 292 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: make for us? And and you know what I mean 293 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: when I say us, I'm talking about you know the 294 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: last side you feel me ow to wise. Now, let's 295 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: let's drill down. So we're not talking about exploring space 296 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: per se. We're talking about how we are exploring space. 297 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: And remember we've been there before. When we talked about 298 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: the pissing contest of the space race in the nineteen sixties, 299 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: it was all around the Cold War. It was really 300 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: just just trying to flex and show like the flex 301 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily about the fact that we can get to space. 302 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 1: But it's like an if we could do this, what 303 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: you think we could do if we threw a bomb 304 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: at your hood? You know what I'm saying. So there 305 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: was that going on, this new space race coming out 306 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 1: of a lot of ways, Silicon Valley, so this is 307 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: more colonial wild wild West, Nigga is there's too much 308 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: of a lick here, like let's go. But once we 309 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: got to space for the first time, the thought crossed 310 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,719 Speaker 1: everybody's mind, like, yo, we should probably make some rules 311 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: about up here, you know what I'm saying. So there 312 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: was this thing in nineteen sixty seven. It was called 313 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,120 Speaker 1: the Outer Space Treaty. Believe it or not, we talked 314 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: about space law. It like it's a brave new world. 315 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: This nineteen sixty seven. It was a treaty, the Outer 316 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: Space Treaty. It was thirty one nation signed on. Now, 317 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: granted these are nations. It's crazy all of and stuff 318 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 1: I've been trying to tell y'all as far as like 319 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: the Global South, as far as or the global Hood, 320 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: as far as like corner boys and and connects and 321 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: what the lick read. All this stuff is gonna all 322 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 1: fold in on itself and you're using all of your 323 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: your antennas, everything, all of it is applied to this 324 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: moment right now. So thirty one nations signed on. They 325 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: were saying that outer space is for the benefit of 326 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: all countries, despite their resources, and for the growth of 327 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 1: all mankind. You say mankind because it was I mean 328 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: it was a sixty And this rule that like you 329 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: can't put no bomb in space. No one can own 330 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: a celestial body. To a question before, like who owned 331 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 1: the moon? They we made a law back in nineteen 332 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: sixty seven. And because it's funny, because it's like we're 333 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: just one species on one random planet and we're making 334 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: laws about the universe. Man, like you ever, dog, you 335 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,479 Speaker 1: ever think so highly of yourself that you can create 336 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: laws around That's like the ants, that's the roaches in 337 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: in the ground arguing over who owned the kitchen, like 338 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: it's not yours. But you don't get to argue over 339 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: none of this. But that's what we was doing. Some 340 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: would argue, if it's enough roaches is like, dog, you 341 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: can have it. That's nasty. We're just gonna move anyway. 342 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 1: Uh So, no one gets to own a celestial body. 343 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: The only person that can own a celestial body is 344 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 1: my wife. She owned my celestial body, my body heavily. 345 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: This is corny as hell. I'm sorry, but this was 346 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 1: a game of nations, right because the GDP to be 347 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: able to afford to go to space took the entire 348 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: budget of a nation to try to pull off. Now 349 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: we got four five people that got more individual money 350 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: than in time than fifty sixty nations. Base Host Brandson 351 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: Elon Musk and then their personal wealth is more than 352 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: entire countries. So that's a game changer. Now, as a 353 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: fun fact, China actually has more billionaires per capita uh 354 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: than any other nation. But well we'll talk about that 355 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: a little later. Now. Dr Lucy uh Walkowitch, she's a 356 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: space ethicist, uh researcher, works for NASA. Just brilliant, brilliant lady, 357 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 1: she's uh, she helped us kind of navigate some of 358 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: this stuff. So where we at right now. NASA has 359 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: this thing called the Artemis. We're gonna build this thing 360 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: called the Artemis, which is supposed to be like a 361 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:38,719 Speaker 1: base camp on the moon. Around doesn't matter, it's just 362 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: we want to get there first. And then why build 363 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,959 Speaker 1: a moon base? Well, you build a moon base, because 364 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: there's this thing on the Moon that they think is 365 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: they're called helium three. Helium three. If we get to it, 366 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: it's enough on the Moon, if it's actually there, to 367 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: power the entire Earth for two centuries. Like this, we 368 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: talked about stuff. This stuff is like a billion dollars 369 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: a ton, because there is some on Earth, but it's 370 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: so hard to get to. They say the moon full 371 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 1: of it. We don't know, and we don't know what 372 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 1: happens if we take it out the moon. But it's 373 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 1: way too much money to be made up there. There's 374 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: numerous ways to serve funds. There's a lick up there, 375 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: and we need to go hit it. We need to 376 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: hit it now. So Artemis, now again, who get there 377 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: first get to make the rules. So we put together 378 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: this thing called the Artemis Accords, and it's these mining 379 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: laws and most of the G twenty has signed up 380 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: to be like, all right, once we get down there, 381 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: we're going to acknowledge the nineteen sixty seven outer space things. 382 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 1: Nobody gets to own it, but whatever I get out 383 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: the ground get to be mine. Ain't that crazy? I 384 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: don't own the moon, but what I get out the 385 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: moon I mean I did the work to get it 386 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: out there. I came all the way to this place 387 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: to get it. Like it gets to be mine, so 388 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: I get to claim sources resources that I get from 389 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: the celestial body. Now most of the you know, United States, 390 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: South Korea, Germany, UK, everybody signed onto a Guess who 391 00:23:55,560 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: ain't signed on China and Russia, China, Rus I'll tell 392 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: you this gangship they like, Nick, fuck your artemis. I 393 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: don't care you think you'll be there first. They building 394 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: their own research facility. They said they want to be 395 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: there by though, We're gonna get up there and set 396 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: up our own shop. Do what the hell we want 397 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: to do? Now what does that have to do with 398 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: these private companies? Well, right now, how most of these 399 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 1: companies work is you get these big contracts, so basically 400 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: you just become the plug. SpaceX has been the plug 401 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: for a long time. Basos. They just trying to sell 402 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: the creation of the ships to NASA for NASA to 403 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: go and you just played it a low. It's like 404 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: it's almost like the old school, um where to the 405 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: my thing where the g's move in silence, like I 406 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: don't need to be out here being off flashy I 407 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: just need to secure the bag, so y'all use my 408 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: rocket to get to space. I say the rocket, But 409 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: I don't need to like everybody don't need to know 410 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: it comes from me. I just need to be able 411 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: to floss high posts to be like I just earned 412 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: this billion dollar contract and that's my thing up there. 413 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: It's like, I don't care if y'all know, as long 414 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 1: as the streets know. And NASA actually chose SpaceX because 415 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: the ship that they're using to get up to get 416 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: up to the moon, they said, bace X cut the costs, 417 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: n so you didn't make it cheaper, so they didn't 418 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: earn this thing. But now it's like like anybody else, 419 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 1: it's like, what's the point of having all this money? 420 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 1: If I can't stunt, if I can't floss, if I 421 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: can't flex, I ain't got no grill. I gotta keep 422 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: it all quiet. No, no, homie, that's us going to 423 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: the moon. No no, no, my name is Eli Musk. 424 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: That's my plane. Now you know what, and we could 425 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: do it ourselves. We don't even need NASA. Uh, you can't. 426 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: You can't. Look, what's the point that, what's the point 427 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: of being rich? Can't show nobody. You know what I'm 428 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: talking about. That's the cornerboys and plugs there. You feelious 429 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: like you could lay low, But I mean, but if 430 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: I lay it's the point of doing this work. I 431 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: gotta lay low. But if you don't lay low, you 432 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: become a target. So that mean what's happening here is 433 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: the game of Thrones out this mug. So now you 434 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: got all these like plugs kind of fighting over like, well, 435 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: I mean, do we really got to go through NASA? 436 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: You feel me like maybe we could go I selves, 437 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: hit this, lick ourselves. If we're building the rocket to 438 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: get there, what the hell I need not so for 439 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: you're telling me it's something that could power the planet 440 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: for two d years up there, Well, then what the 441 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: hell are we're waiting for. Some of our families looked 442 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 1: at the suburbs and went, oh, them is nice houses. 443 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 1: Other people looked at it and was like, oh, there 444 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 1: is money to be made out here, and we just 445 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 1: gotta lock it down. Now, when you lock a spot down, uh, 446 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: you also got to hold it down because trust me, 447 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: the op is on the way. How you lock it down, 448 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: how you enforced space law, how you get everybody gret 449 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: especially if you got Russia going to funk your laws 450 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 1: and they get you on own this ship it's the moon. Well, 451 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: the question is what what happens in our hoods violence? 452 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: That's what happens in our hoods. Hell, That's what happens 453 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: in any colonial situation. Somebody come over and say, I 454 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: claim this in the name of so and so. You like, 455 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: who the hell is so and so?

Buck your hood borders and then 459 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: we repping our section Like that's kind of ain't that 460 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: the lane? So you, as a civilian like me, you 461 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 1: woke up in the turf war like all of a sudden, 462 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. If if you can't hold 463 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: down the block, somebody now holding out that block, you 464 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: just find out my nigg Like you didn't walk into 465 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: a war zone. You know, you better learn the rules again. 466 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: So that's kind of like what's happened. That's that's us, 467 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: just regular ass Americans that are like, wait this, y'all 468 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 1: gonna fight over the moon. Damn Nick. When my family 469 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: got a tax return and we moved out to uh, 470 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: the Inland Empire. It was obviously for you know, a 471 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: better life, but it was like, you know, our son 472 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: is of age, like we're trying to get him out 473 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: of that life. Little did we know when we got 474 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: there the life was about a couple of years out 475 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,360 Speaker 1: of being there too. So why wouldn't it happen in space? Hell, 476 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: it's already happening. Every step that gets to that is 477 00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,919 Speaker 1: already happening. But we promised the nineteen seven we wouldn't 478 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: put no weapons up there. Come on, y'all, use your hair, Antennis, 479 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: you're telling me everything out there. Do you remember what 480 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: happened in the first Goal Rush? You remember squatters rights, 481 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,199 Speaker 1: you know, and um and then abandoned like gold mines 482 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:21,479 Speaker 1: and all this stuff. You don't think violence follows this 483 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 1: type of pursuit, fam Of course it does. And what's 484 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,959 Speaker 1: crazy is we don't know what the hell happens if 485 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: you take something out the moon. They get like, are 486 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 1: you gonna change the tides? Because I'm not gonna be 487 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: I'm not being scared or nothing. I'm just saying, have 488 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: y'all thought this through? Like you get just be taking 489 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: stuff out of something that regulates the tides. My nigge, Like, 490 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: I hope y'all thinking this through for you start taking 491 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: stuff out of this thing. But ultimately, remember we're talking 492 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: about countries that can actually afford to do this. So 493 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: maybe this further divides the wealth gap between the global 494 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: North and the global south. What does this mean for us? Here? Nick, 495 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: and you got access to moon energy? Like it's about 496 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: to turn into a movie out this mug where like 497 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: the wealth between the rich and the Poe fam. Well, 498 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: you have to ask yourself what did the Cold War 499 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: mean for us? Then? Did I gain any rights? Was 500 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: my lot of life any better? Did watch money go 501 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: out of our communities into space? Did our daddies and 502 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: granddaddis get sent off to a ward they couldn't possibly win? 503 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: But was there gains from what we got from space? 504 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I know a lot of 505 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: technology from military and and NASA has came down to 506 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: our everyday life. I'm not This isn't the the pod 507 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: to talk about what those things were, but it is 508 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: the pod to say it is. I wonder what conflict 509 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: our kids are going to sign up for now? Trump 510 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: talking about Space Force ain't as funny. It was funny 511 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,719 Speaker 1: at first. Now it's like in the same way that 512 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: no one could possibly consider gangs in the suburbs. Oh man, 513 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: they don't shoot out there. Yet they do, at least 514 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: in California. They shoot out there. You know Anaheim in 515 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: Orange County where where where Disneyland is. It's there's some 516 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: vatos down there, and they don't Anaheim nicknames anti crime 517 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: like they it's real out there. Don't think because it's 518 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: nice and pristine that they can't go down. It's space, 519 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: but it could go down. But the question you have 520 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: to ask yourself is what effect do these titans, these 521 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 1: men who can move entire countries out of their own pocket. 522 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: Should they decide that infrastructure programs, you know, community developments 523 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: that are targeted towards Should they decide that the U 524 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: s a i D The money that we're sending to 525 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: to the global South, just like what you know Bill 526 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: Gates did with the Gates Foundation. Which I'm not saying 527 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: this isn't a type recorder dragging it, but it is 528 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: a point to make that he just decided that Africa's 529 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: AIDS problem was his to fix, and he just went 530 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: out there and started to circum sizing African men, but 531 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 1: then didn't tell them about condoms. They thought the circumcision 532 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: would like end the spread of aids. You just decided 533 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: that's what you're gonna do. In his In his defense, 534 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: there as a lot of people that didn't die from 535 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 1: malaria from his work. But why this one man get 536 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: to decide because he just thinks it's cool what this 537 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: entire country do where these resources are allocated. You're like, well, 538 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. It's in a democracy. Nick, Do 539 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: you know how much money we talked about right now? 540 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: Do you understand if someone can get you on Mars 541 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: for yo block? Because somebody can put on for yo 542 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: block like that, You let them do what they want. 543 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: Because what if these these bezos is these these these 544 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: bill Gates and them these what if they lived in Russia? 545 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: Do you know how salty we would be as a nation. 546 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: China and Russia got these dudes out there, and you 547 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: can't flex no more, You can't talk about your economy 548 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: no more because these billionaires is serving your billionaires. I'm saying, 549 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: our nation has no incentive to stop this from happening 550 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: because it's too much of a flex and for them, 551 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: everybody wins because if we use the goal rush model, 552 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: you're telling me, I get to sell you to shovel 553 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: and keep the gold. This is a win win. You know, 554 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: the Levi Strauss company, Levi's, the Denham, the Jeans, they 555 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: got their starting to goal rush making. Dinnam millionaire made 556 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: more money than anybody else up there. Digging became the plug. 557 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: There's no point in paying attention to anything else. If 558 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: you could hit a lick that hard, What the hell 559 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: you care about? What the global South doing? What the 560 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: hell you care about police reform or infrastructure or reparations 561 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: or any of that. What the hell you care about that? 562 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: I'm on moon. I just built a house on Mars. 563 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 1: Buck your life. They could get like me, sound to 564 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: me like that's our future. Maybe Gil Scott was on something. 565 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: Rat dun bit my sister. Why he's on the moon now. 566 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,320 Speaker 1: As a parting thought, let's get meta here. I think 567 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: if we think about, like how the modern world has 568 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 1: been terraformed, another plug, how we shape the culture into 569 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,720 Speaker 1: the way we see it now, it's got us really 570 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: thinking the modern nation state, capitalistic sort of Keynesian economics, 571 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 1: colonial imperialism is the way to approach outer space. And 572 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: if the premise of this show is like all the 573 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 1: geopolitics are just like growing up in the hood, then 574 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 1: my question for anybody who's been crushed by a colonial empire, 575 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 1: or anyone who was either active in gang life and 576 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: survived it, or someone who was affiliated or just lived 577 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 1: out there looking back, there's a lot of stuff that 578 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 1: we appreciate it. I love that. I'm like, Yo, it's 579 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: our culture, That's what it is. You know what I'm saying, Like, 580 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 1: I'm proud of it. We are proud of who we are. 581 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 1: I'm proud of where I came from. But is that 582 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: like that's really how we want to move through the future. 583 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm personally a product of gang intervention, of 584 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 1: O G S who came out of jail. And y'all 585 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 1: know who Big You is. I man invoke him. I 586 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 1: don't know him personally, but programs like what he put together. 587 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: He put together like an inner city football program. But 588 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:33,799 Speaker 1: he's like, hey, man, you don't have to do what 589 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 1: I did. You know what I'm saying, like, rep your block, 590 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: It's all good. I love you'all, get it. You know 591 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, but you ain't gotta you ain't gotta 592 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: go my route, Like there's other ways to do it. 593 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,320 Speaker 1: I'm a product of that of like O G is 594 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 1: coming back. Hey, my Sunday school teacher, My eighth grade 595 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 1: Sunday school teacher, like tells you, I grew up with 596 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: about those You know what I'm saying, Like they foods 597 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 1: was out there, and what they was trying to say 598 00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 1: is like maybe this ain't really I mean, we get 599 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: it saying now how elier than now, But I'm just saying, like, 600 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: maybe this ain't the best way to approach this life. 601 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 1: So I'm saying, I mean, yeah, the amount of money 602 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:18,760 Speaker 1: that sort of free market capitalism has generated for those 603 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 1: who have succeeded in it is incredibly astronomical. Don't get 604 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 1: me wrong. I like the fact that I live in 605 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,880 Speaker 1: a country with running water is pretty much something I 606 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,399 Speaker 1: don't even think about. But something I do think about 607 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: it is like how we got there? Whose backs was 608 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: this built on? And it's this really the cultural theory 609 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,120 Speaker 1: that I would imagine for us. Later, I saw a 610 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 1: New York Times article about adults choosing to not have 611 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 1: kids and that like the birth rate has dropped so much, 612 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 1: and it's almost like, well, I guess if you put 613 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:57,399 Speaker 1: people under crushing debt that there's no way to ever 614 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: get out of debt. While the housing market it's triple 615 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 1: what it what it was when we was kids. After 616 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 1: seeing two economic failures, you think maybe somebody would make 617 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 1: the calculation that, like I just can't afford to have to. 618 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: What I'm trying to say is maybe this ain't the 619 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: way we should approach space if it ain't really helping 620 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: us on Earth. The niggas is still getting shot in 621 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,719 Speaker 1: the street. You know what I'm saying. I'm not saying 622 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 1: don't explore space. That's amazing. I'm just saying, maybe this 623 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: ain't the mindset we should have about doing it, because look, 624 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:36,200 Speaker 1: if it's just the ain't bust, we bust going there 625 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: and drop your flags, set up shot and hit this lick. 626 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 1: I'm trying to tell you that leave a lot of 627 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,399 Speaker 1: dead bodies. Listen. I'm not saying a rocket to Mars 628 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 1: is not awesome, just saying you don't get to just 629 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 1: make up lines and scream mind on. It doesn't have 630 00:37:52,000 --> 00:38:21,000 Speaker 1: to be this way. Okay, post PostScript for real, we've 631 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 1: done this time.
