1 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: Uh, it could happen. It could happen here. That was 2 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: my Robert Evans impression. Thank you very much. Hopefully that 3 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: wasn't an assault in you um drums. But here we 4 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: are here, we are I am Andrew, and this is 5 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: it could happen here. And this is the podcast where 6 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:41,160 Speaker 1: we talk about stuff that happened in places. And I'll 7 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: be yes listening this episode. This is the Andrewism segment 8 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: where I talk about whatever comes to mind. So I'd 9 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: like to open up this episode with a question, honestly, genuinely, 10 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: how are you all doing? Well? There's a lot of 11 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: stuff going on right now. Um, you know, not not 12 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: the best time um inside this country or really around 13 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: the world. Um so yeah, not, I would say, not ideal. Not. Yeah, 14 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: I'm everything bad is happening and also being compounded that 15 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: I have been. I have been once again awoken at 16 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: it a genuinely egregiously early hour by someone pounding a 17 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 1: hammer about eight inches from my head, which is fun 18 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: and good and cool without context, without context, all a 19 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: wild thing to say. I am giving no context about that. 20 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: This is literally true. So yeah, basically it's like that, 21 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: but for everything, yeah, I respect that not ideal is 22 00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: the perfect explanation. Yeah, yeah, not ideal, Not ideal. Personally, 23 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: I feel like i'm, you know, cost being pulled in 24 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: a bunch of different directions and it's exhausted. And I mean, 25 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: let's say up front, I do have the privilege of 26 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: having more control over my wealth day than a lot 27 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: of other people do. And that's not something I take lightly. 28 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: I'm very appreciative of that. UM shout out to my 29 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: Patreon supporters. But you know, between all my online responsibilities 30 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: and offline responsibilities and obligations and demands and my time, 31 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: it really is not easy. And that's not even getting 32 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: into like the social and political stitt to the world 33 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: right now. It's a coach and Smith, you know, that's 34 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: that's something I think we can all relate to on 35 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: some level. Yeah, I mean, some weeks are much harder 36 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: than others. But the through line has been stress, and 37 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: that is the subject of today's episode. That's so stressful 38 00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: that we're going to talk about stressful. Yeah, a discussion 39 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: about stress. It really could happen here. Um. Stress is 40 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: not something that's new to me already to most people 41 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: me personally, my personality is very much lending itself to 42 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: that um sort of outcome because I'm constantly like spinning 43 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: a bunch of plates at the same time, and every 44 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: time like I dropped one or I put one down, 45 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: I pick up the next one. And I'm not very 46 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 1: good at relaxing usually. All right, I've basically been going 47 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: on stop for a long long time. And I'm not 48 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: alone because of adults suffer from chronic stress, and sevent 49 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: to night to percent of doctors visits are stress related. 50 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: And it's trash. You know, you feel it in your 51 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: skin and your muscle, in your bones. I remember this 52 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: one someone was working at that same winery I was 53 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: talking about in recent episode. I was in UM and 54 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: I was just sharing my experience. It really felt like 55 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: my blood was running into water, like I was barely eaten. 56 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: It wasn't getting enough water. I wasn't perfectly hydrated and 57 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: just go in. We call that. We call that a 58 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: reverse Jesus when you're when you're I mean, I think 59 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: when Jesus was stabbed, he did like bleed water for 60 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: some reason. Sure it did. Yeah, tree rings, you know, 61 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: they tell a story, and I think our body is 62 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: tell the story as well, and for a lot of 63 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: us that story is stress rather because of events or 64 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: thoughts or circumstances, but it's frustration and go new business, 65 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: do you mistress? What would you guys say, is some 66 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: of your like mean stress triggers. I was going to 67 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: say family, most of it's probably work related, based on 68 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: the type of things I surround myself with for over 69 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: twelve hours a day. Yeah, I think for me it's 70 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: it's work. And then it's a lot of just sort 71 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: of like personal life stuff. I have to do stuff 72 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: which is just like like I'm trying to move right now, 73 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:30,679 Speaker 1: and that's like incredibly stressful. And yeah, as medical stuff, 74 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: that's been a that's been a holy hell. Yeah, we 75 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: are excited that Chris is finally moving out of the 76 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: hammer factory into the into the into the electric drill factory. 77 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: So the audio will still be a bit weird. I mean, look, 78 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: if if if it's if it's anything like college, it'll 79 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: be twelve hours a day of a guy with a 80 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: jackhammer directly below my window, which you'll all get to 81 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: hear an incredibly large amount of It's gonna be great. 82 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: That's fantastic. That's a perfect encopsulation, and that the exactly 83 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: the topic we're talking about. It's like a jackhammer on 84 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: your brain constantly. I mean that's on the only form 85 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: of stress. I mean, there's a stress that comes from 86 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: like loss stress, it comes from like social drift stress. 87 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: It comes from this consumers rat race um, you know, 88 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: mental illness, just general uncertainty and change and grief and 89 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: guilt and trauma. Um. You know, dictatorship that a lot 90 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: of people are subject to. And of course climate change good, 91 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: it will climate change. I think more more people need 92 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: to realize there was a stress is a symptom of 93 00:06:54,279 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: like systemic violence. You know, when we're dealing with these 94 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: headaches and sleep problems and muscle pinions and digestive problems 95 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: and sex problems and blood pressures, use and moodliness and 96 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: restlessness and demotivation and irritability and substance abuse and all 97 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: these other responses and consequences. It's just the outcome of 98 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: daily systemic violence, of the way that this system deprives 99 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: us of support and care, that how it atomizes us, 100 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: how it controls us and really squeezes us forward word. 101 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not to say that like there's no 102 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: stress outside of capitalism, or that stress is a capitless invention. 103 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: Absolutely not. I mean, stress in um small doses to 104 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: be a good indicator in certains vibal situations that need 105 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: to change the situation um motivation to act, you know. 106 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: But and the capitalism is really pathological, and yet you 107 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: gotta keep playing normal. You have to keep on pretending 108 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: that everything is okay. I mean, we all know how 109 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: deeply unhealthy this society is, how deeply and equalist society is. 110 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: Many people dealing stress related illnesses are people don't like 111 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:27,679 Speaker 1: hyper vigilance are We are constantly scanning this urban jungle 112 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: for threats, for of of insecurity and decimation of public 113 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: life and of entire equalmies in sectors. And it's like 114 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: well held in captivity. I will say one thing, and 115 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: that is that while capitalism produces a lot of stress, 116 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 1: it was so alleviates stress by producing an economy organized 117 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: around the production and circulation of addictive substances and practices 118 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: of all these different vices that you know, people pick up. 119 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at the roots of capitalism 120 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: and how capitalism really funded itself initially through the plantation 121 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: economies and the Caribbean and the rest of America's um, 122 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: you know, growing like sugar and tobacco and you know, 123 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: producing all these spirits and chocolate and coffee. The thing 124 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: that that that that helped bring capitalism to fruition and 125 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: helped fund industrial capitalism is the thing that people are 126 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: using to self medicate in response the effects of the 127 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: now global capitalist dominance. And people love off their chocolate 128 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: and their coffee. Personally, I'm not a big fan of coffee. 129 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: I think it's tastes disgusting. But yeah, you know, yeah, 130 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: I tried it once and it was like it tastes 131 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: like the sensation of burning. You know, I just wasn't 132 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: having it. I like the smell for some reason, like 133 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: the smell of coffee beans, but the actual taste is 134 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: like nah, and surprised. I mean, I actually used to 135 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 1: not like chocolate as a child. It is only when 136 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 1: I matured my taste, but that actually came around to it, ironically, 137 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: And of course we don't think of these things as 138 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: you know, vices or medications, but they're like small pleasures 139 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 1: that help us get through our day. Practically everybody is 140 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: at some level of alcoholic these days. And of course 141 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: there's social media, which is like algorithmically Teelered and tuned 142 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: to keep us on it, to keep us like it 143 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: basically like like a puppet master controls the highs and 144 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: lows of all emotions on a deally basis. It basically 145 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: functions as an addictive drug. It just the drug is 146 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: just is caused by chemical reactions in your own brain, 147 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: but it's manipulating your brain into causing it to happen UM. 148 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: But it's it's a very similar addictive process that has like, 149 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: you know, a reward system. You know that. That's why, 150 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 1: like around a decade ago, a lot of social media 151 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: companies changed their UM loading style to be like you 152 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: like scroll it down and it flicks back up, which 153 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: was specifically it was specifically copying a slot machine because 154 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: it is it's it's like an addictive pattern that's ingrained 155 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,839 Speaker 1: into what we find pleasurable. So it's it's all like 156 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: none of this is this probably isn't new information to 157 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 1: a lot of people, but like it's all obviously very 158 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: intentional to why it's designed to be extremely addictive. Yeah, 159 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: and this this is just like this is just like 160 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: what like most of gaming is now too, where it's 161 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: like I mean, okay, like you're playing a video game, right, yeah, 162 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: but like yeah, and now and now literally like the 163 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: the the revenue model of the gaming industry is selling 164 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: gambling to children, you know that. That is My one 165 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: complained about casinos is that eight year olds couldn't spend 166 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: thousands of dollars with their parents money on skins. You know. Now, 167 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 1: thanks thanks to the wonders of gaming, eight year olds 168 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 1: too can basically just live in a casino in their 169 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: own bedroom all the time. Modern society. Okay, there's there's 170 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: there's conflicting accounts about this, but there's there's a new 171 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: like free to play Dio Diablo game, and well, yes 172 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: I heard about that. The amount of money it would 173 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: take to get like a max level character in this 174 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: game I have seen. Okay, I I've I've The latest 175 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: calculation I've seen is saying it would take over five 176 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. The lowest range calculation of how much it 177 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: would cost I've seen was about fifty tho it's probably 178 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: at least a hundred thousand dollars to literally get the 179 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: guys level character in these games. It is like, like 180 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: this is problem. Where that's problem is exactly why, um, 181 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 1: the only mobile games I play us to do a 182 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: goog on mine. Yeah, and even those have ads. Yeah, 183 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: I did have a brief for it until among us, 184 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: but that, um, that period has has ended. And plus 185 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: this is also why I tend to you know, sail 186 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: the high seats as you know what I'm saying. The 187 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: funny thing is that we don't have to do this. 188 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: And I mean it's kind of obvious. It's kind of 189 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: like it's a phrase looking forward, like it doesn't need 190 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: to be said, but it was a kind of needs 191 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: to be said. That we built. We built this society 192 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: and as people within it, we do have the power 193 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: to change it. We don't have to work as much 194 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: as we do. We don't have to you know, structure 195 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: and attend school the way that we do. I mean 196 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: even under capitalism, there there are people who are starting 197 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: to shift from that eight hour week day, which we 198 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: had to fight for a lot of people died for, um, 199 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: to you know, three to six hours a day, which 200 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: or four hours pertty, it depends. Um. I think that 201 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: some one on experiment was like six hour days, four 202 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: days a week or something like that. But despite you know, 203 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: studies coming out and saying that humans groling be is 204 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: super productive in a certain period of time uninterrupted. It 205 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: doesn't matter, you know, despite the fact that you know, 206 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: productivity decreases, it's not like productivity rises and amount to 207 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: hours you work. It doesn't matter. I mean, I remember 208 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: when I was working in a um an insurance company. 209 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: I was people pusher, just like scanning documents and uploading 210 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: documents and then scanning some more documents and then uploading 211 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: those documents, and then every once in a while I 212 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: got to print documents. Exciting um but I was dealing 213 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: with like a backlog of documents, and I was typically 214 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: able to get like a decent chunk of the work 215 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: done within like the first two to three hours, as 216 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: in like having it fully sorted, scanned, uploaded, completed, you know. 217 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: But unfortunately I had to be there for eight hours, 218 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: and so I had to drag out my day, you know, 219 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: typically by listening to like the Communist Manifesto an audiobook, yeah, 220 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: or The Conquest of Bad and audiobook. I had to 221 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: find things to do, is like make myself look busy, 222 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: um what to like divvy up my tasks and extend 223 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: them and spartificial they stretched them out because instead of 224 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: doing this BS job, instead of not doing this B 225 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: S job at all. Well, instead of doing this b 226 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: S job based on tasks completed rather than time spent, 227 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: I had to rely on the time spent in the 228 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: contractual I was And of course the pay was terrible, 229 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: but I mean that's expected at this point. But the 230 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: whole point is really to like squeeze all our time 231 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: and energy, so that's we're stressed out so that we 232 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: don't have any leisure, so that you know, we look 233 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: for convenience, and convenience is profitable. I mean, who really 234 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: has the energy to fight for their rights when they 235 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: don't even have the energy to cook a meal when 236 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: they get home, you know. And it wasn't always like this. 237 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: The social bond was broken by capitalism and replaced with 238 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: the on to money and until we like sever that bond, 239 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 1: nothing's going to change. The question is how can we 240 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: address stress? Right, and so capitalism has an answer, um, 241 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: And then there's like an actual proper real systemic and 242 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: so increasing the ideal was stressed by just not thinking 243 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: about it, um. But I mean, what what do you 244 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: guys do be really sad? I'm talking about like like 245 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 1: mitigation strategies, you know, Like I don't know, like when 246 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: it's nice. Like I go take walks, um walks are nice. Yeah, 247 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 1: I have a have a shark that I got from 248 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: somewhere that's like it's like the like the Squacy phone material, 249 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 1: just a shark. It rules. Do you have an idea shark? No? No, 250 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 1: no, no no, no, it's ok. It's all right. It's like 251 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: stall but about to just like, yeah, that's very funny. 252 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: I don't have a whatever that I don't know what. 253 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: I don't know how to say it either. I don't know. 254 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: I've been trying to get back into doing more park 255 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: or training when I'm stressed, But honestly, it's a lot 256 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 1: of the time I just do stuff that I know 257 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: I am capable of, which oftentimes is the same things 258 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 1: that kind of caused me to get stressed in the 259 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: first place. Looking at nonsense propaganda, writing about it um, 260 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: writing about like different like philosophies around Dumerism and like 261 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 1: because those are things I just my my brain can 262 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: just do with little efforts. So it's almost it's almost 263 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 1: peaceful in a way. Yeah, it's it's it's bizarre. I mean, 264 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 1: in some ways you would think that these things are 265 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: what's causing me to have problems but also in a 266 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: lot of ways that kind of calms me down, Um, 267 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 1: to look at a whole bunch of this type of thing, 268 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: or to write about it, or to like try to 269 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: like you know, just do like formatting inside like a 270 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: Google doc about it. Um. I don't know. It's like 271 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: it's like sorting out the stuff. It's almost like there's 272 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: this idea. This is like um thing called knowling. It's 273 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: when you get a whole bunch of stuff out on 274 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: the floor and you sort of into piles. It's done 275 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 1: with like Lego a lot if you dump a giant 276 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: like box of Lego for all these different legal pieces. Um, 277 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: if you're gonna annull them, you're gonna take all the 278 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: pieces that are like the same color or size and 279 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: sort them into their little places. It's it's it's so 280 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: it's I kind of do that but with like ideas, 281 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: um and like with and like with writing projects, I 282 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: dump out all the things I'm currently thinking about into 283 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: like a spreadsheet or Google doc and sort them into 284 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: related topics to be like, Okay, here's how this thing 285 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: leads into this thing. And I just I it's like 286 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: that kind of like organizational thing. Um. So like like 287 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: how organizing is kind of like a therapeutic then, so 288 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: it's like I can do that with all of the 289 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 1: random stuff floating around in my brain. Sometimes I'll try 290 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 1: to like just sort of out. Even if it doesn't 291 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: get turned into like a work project, it's still like 292 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: it's like an external way to sort out my thoughts, right, Suphie. 293 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 1: I have a dog, very good dog. A dog. We 294 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: listen to music. We go outside, well, like to go 295 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: to the park and listen to music outside. You know, 296 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: that's the basic. I work a lot, but work is 297 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: also like if I don't work, I'm more stressed exactly exactly. Yeah, 298 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: I definitely I relate to that, which is like a 299 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 1: lapdog for Cole. I know, right, it's not something that 300 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: like proud of, but also like, you know, I'm lucky enough. 301 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: Nothing that's indicative of the problem, right, Like it's not 302 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: like people don't necessarily like to wooh do necessarily like 303 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: to leave? Yes, she was like not having what's one 304 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: to me? You know, because I mean if most of 305 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: the things I do for work now are things that 306 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: I've been doing for years unpaid because I was just 307 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: interested in them. So you know, if we're talking about 308 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 1: theorizing about like a post work world. Yeah, people are 309 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: still going to do all kinds of ship. Obviously, there's 310 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: questions around you know, tasks which are not like not 311 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 1: the most fun to do, as we've had discussions on 312 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: like antiwork stuff before. But for a lot of stuff, 313 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: everyone has little interests in little skills that they find 314 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: kind of slightly therapeutic. And also like you know, it's 315 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 1: in terms of tasks that no one wants to do, 316 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: like I fixed my own plumbing in my bathtub a 317 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: few weeks ago because my landlord's not going to do that. 318 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: So like you know, people when you when when you 319 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 1: have to do something, you kind of become capable of it. 320 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: That's fair. I think one of the most popular responses, 321 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: like the stresses, acomplism and pooses, is like this concept 322 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: of self care, you know, this way of keeping from 323 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 1: the grind of it all and sure dealing with you know, 324 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: with issues by like getting to bed early and eating 325 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: well and physical exercise which I've been doing a lots 326 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: of um and and all that. We'd have to change 327 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: your little drug into like into like the chat version. 328 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: Well I actually did that recently. That's great. Yeah, it's definitely. 329 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: You know this thing also things like like joran and 330 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: meditation and yoka and all that jazz. I mean, you've 331 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: never really got into meditation because I tried it a 332 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 1: couple of times and every time I do, I kind 333 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: of fall asleep. I definitely do some meditation stuff. Um. 334 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: But that's what's kind of slightly part of my like 335 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: metaphysics interest, UM. And I mean also mean in terms 336 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: of like self care practices in that vein that can 337 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: help you kind of relax is obviously stuff like you know, 338 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: mushrooms are m D M A, which if done and 339 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: you know proper, you know, it's space spaced out, not 340 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 1: not doing them all the time, but doing them at 341 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: certain intervals, um, can definitely be be therapeuticum in their 342 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: own way. Audrey Lord, one of the foremost Black Finer 343 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: scholars of our time. One set and I returned to 344 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: the school to lot um. Caring for myself is not 345 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: an act of self intelligence. It is self preservation, and 346 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 1: that is an active political warfare. Self care used to 347 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: me in presuming yourself in a world hostiles are very 348 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: identity community. We have life event not we give yourself 349 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: to an early grieve, you know, practicingcy and new and 350 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: be mindful of your sensitivities and triggers. And then you know, 351 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:10,679 Speaker 1: as white corporate feminism does, White corporate feminism appropriated it 352 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: and turn it into a industry now worth a start 353 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: and eleven billion dollars. Yeah, I mean now self care. 354 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: When people think of self care, it's all about intelligent 355 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: cosmetics and like serious bodies and overpriced candles and quintin 356 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: expensive qualities and subscriptions to social media apps that are 357 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: about like and it's it's turned into this own like 358 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: grifting industry almost like that, the self care industry. It's 359 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: like self care influencers and self care content creators and 360 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: like it's just like it. It just gets It gets 361 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 1: the same icky de realization feeling that everything else under 362 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: capitalism is slowly getting. Yeah. I mean they even have 363 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: like their own self care funds, like if you not. 364 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: Just a lot of self care content has a very 365 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: specific visual style. Yeah, you know, I mean hashtog, self 366 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:06,360 Speaker 1: can Instagram just like a bottomless screwl of graphics and products. 367 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: It just makes me feel kind of unsettled. It kind 368 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: of has this like uncanny aspect to it. Yeah, because 369 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 1: it's almost of self care is unaccessible to the wise. 370 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: It was creepy to help the moves. Yeah, yeah, I 371 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: mean there's there's that. I mean, the fundamental part of 372 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: the uncanny is that is that disconnect where the gap 373 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: between the phenomenon and the thing is really is really big. 374 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: And you can't really understand why it's uncanny, but if 375 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: you think about it, it's because that gap between the 376 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 1: thing what's supposed to be doing is so large. So yeah, 377 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: this thing that's supposed to help all these people is 378 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: now of white millennial like like up like middle upper 379 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:54,199 Speaker 1: class like aesthetic. Now, um, and that sucks exactly. I 380 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: mean these days the people like it's mostly a salve 381 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: for like white collar ucas whose jobs are also stucked 382 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: them with their time managing creativity. But the people who 383 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: are actually in the blue collar workers, they often have 384 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,959 Speaker 1: the time or money to be able to invest in themselves, 385 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: not read self care and workhollars and basically two sides 386 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 1: of the same coin. Right, it's preserve yourself so you 387 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: can produce small it's a solution to capitalism. Within capitalism, 388 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: the solution doesn't actually alleviate the conditions and stress, but 389 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: lines pockets and fuels the economic system that creates it 390 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: in the first place. I mean, if you're selling self 391 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: care helps that you've got a constant supply of customers 392 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 1: living in perpetual anxiety and wellness. Rather than means of 393 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: resistance to the system. It's been weaponized by the system. 394 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: It's become this performative thing we put on, this image 395 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: of put togetherness where you carefully curate your feed and 396 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: your Instagram stories in your highlights, and as an individualized 397 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: solution systemic issues is it's like the system turning to 398 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,959 Speaker 1: calm down. Why I continue to denegrate and and exploit you. 399 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 1: None of these things address stress systematically. I'm not saying 400 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: that it's necessarily bad to address stress individually, because everybody 401 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: has their own personal conditions, but without dealing with the 402 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: broader material conditions, without addressing people's lack of free time, 403 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: lack of access to social connection, lack of access to 404 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: housing and healthy food, and full of medical care, you 405 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: know it, it misses the point. And I haven't I 406 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: haven't read much um in the field of I believe 407 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 1: there are some articles spend a lot of time writing 408 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: and talking about it, but I haven't read much in 409 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 1: the field of like psychotherapy and that sort of thing. 410 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: But it's it's kind of a realization of me that 411 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: therapy is basically focus in on fixing an individuals would 412 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 1: a just to a sick society, rather than healing the 413 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: society itself. Fixing the society itself. I mean, so much 414 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: about their therapy is about, you know, addressing things that 415 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: are impairing your functionality to complete your work. Yeah, Like 416 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 1: it's it's all the base of mental healthness is is 417 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: it inhibiting you from doing your job? And that's when 418 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: it becomes a problem and the only way to solve 419 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: it is through it. Like, like what what deems a 420 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: success is if you're able to complete your job at 421 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: a high level of functioning. Again, it's not actually about 422 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: your mental state, it's about how much you can produce 423 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: such of the capitalist framework. Yeah, and I mean not 424 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: to say that that medication is and how a tremendous 425 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: benefits in people's lives and you know, helping them get 426 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: back on track and so he can true the circumstances is, 427 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: but you know, when you have a society that has 428 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: distress and misery and loneliness woven into it um into 429 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: its core, trying to adjust people and adapt people to 430 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: that is just responding to sickness and more sickness. And 431 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: you know me, I like to try and keep things 432 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: on the practical, um helpful, positive side. You know, it 433 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: could happen here genuinely with a smiling face, you know, 434 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: like it could happen here. UM. And so I just 435 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: wanted to put forward some recommendations. I guess, um. I mean, 436 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: obviously we can't afford to wait until capitalism has been 437 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: abolished to be happy. That's just ridiculous. I mean, that's 438 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: long term cure for a lot of the moralities and 439 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: and it's us their face in um. But meantime, when 440 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: assigned the roots of our stress in these systems can 441 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: make the personal political and drive us to act and 442 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: connect with people who can support us. I think that 443 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: in organizing spaces they need to be special attention but 444 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: towards creating support groups that have allowed for solidarity to 445 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: be built, you know, allow of people to share their 446 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: feelings and work through the challenges together. Self care kind 447 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: of frames things in a way that makes it seem 448 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: as though healing has done on an individual level, when 449 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: healing is communal, Like you don't have to go through 450 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: all this alone healing. It's an act of communion and 451 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: the world must be forced to change to reflect that, 452 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: recognize that we have each other, and recognize that self 453 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: care and community care and extricably linked. And once those 454 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: facts at the forefront, once we put community care at 455 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: the forefront, outside of the close of the market, accessible 456 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: to all um, I think we can find hoope, you know, 457 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: and it really it can start with something as simple 458 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: as just reaching out, you know, um, grabbing groceries or 459 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: twin dishes or watching kids. All the care work that 460 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: is stept to the side when we think about organizing 461 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,800 Speaker 1: what it means to organize, but with an your home, 462 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: on your neighborhood, or at work or at school, because 463 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: I think in especially neighborhood settings, developing that sense of 464 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: new bliness consideringly help even something like a community garden 465 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: being able to connect with nature again or at all 466 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: for the first time, you can really help life heard, 467 00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: and we don't have to make it harder for each other. 468 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: So you can follow me on Twitter.
