Yeah, I was looking it up. 11 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: It was kind of hard to tell. That's good that 12 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: that person will be gone for thirty years. Anytime someone 13 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: is punished by the US justice system for harming women, 14 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: especially black women, feels like a small victory because our 15 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: system repeatedly fails them. So Summer Games Done Quick, Yes, sir, yes, sir, 16 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: which I had to explain to you, But why don't 17 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: you Why don't you tell the people what I explained 18 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: to you before recording and correct me if I get 19 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: anything wrong, because super complicated you did it. Games Don 20 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: Quick is an organization that does a twice yearly charity 21 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,279 Speaker 1: event which is a week long live stream of video 22 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 1: game speed runs. So for some of you, you go hot, nice, 23 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: and some of you are like, don't know half those words, 24 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: and I'm like, for sure. Video game speed runs are 25 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: basically the act of beating a video game as fast 26 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: as possible, whether it be just by being very good 27 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: at it or using exploits, using little glitches in the game, 28 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: anything to beat it a little bit faster. And a 29 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: week long twitch stream is basically literally twenty four hours 30 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: a day for seven days, people will be live streaming 31 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: their speed runs. And this is actually the first uh 32 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: Summer game has done quick happening in person since the pandemic, 33 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: and so it's really nice to have the crowd there 34 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: again to interact with the streamers as they are, you know, 35 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: explaining what they're doing during their speed runs. And the 36 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: whole reason for the season is donating to Doctors without 37 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: Borders And so far this event started on Sunday. So 38 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: far they've raised six and sixty two tho dollars at 39 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: time of recording UM and over the entire lifespan of 40 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: Summer Game Stone Quick they have raised upwards of thirty 41 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: six million dollars. So as a you know as a 42 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: speed running event, as a video game event, but also 43 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: is a charitable thing. It is a huge success and 44 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: has just you know, is a very warm, fun, inclusive 45 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: events and I always love to turn it on when 46 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: it happens twice during the year and just have speed 47 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: runs running in the background like I do right now, 48 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: just ambient speed runs, just ambient nerds talking about their 49 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: favorite things. What is uh? What? What is like your 50 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: favorite game to watch people do a speed run in? 51 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: What a fantastic question. My favorite video game to watch 52 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: people speed run is probably a game called Geo Guesser, 53 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: and Geo Guesser is a game where you are plopped 54 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: down in the Google street View of a random place 55 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: in the world, and on the right side you're given 56 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: a map and you have to pinpoint on the map 57 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: exactly where you are simply by walking around the area. 58 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: You're in Google map style. There's no like, there's no names, 59 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: there's no titles, there's whatever. You just walk around an 60 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: area and you're like, Okay, where the hell am I? 61 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: And the people who are good at geo guess Or 62 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: exhibit a level of knowledge about the world that is 63 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: so mind blowing to me. The kinds of things like 64 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: where the sun is like, what the shadows look like, 65 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: what the road signs look like, what the what kind 66 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: of trees there are, what the mountain ranges look like. 67 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: People just take a look around and they go, Okay, 68 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: I'm in this part of the world, and then narrow 69 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: it down so specifically. It is mind blowing. So I 70 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: highly recommend if you get a chance to watch a 71 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: Geo guess or speed run from Games Done Quick. They're amazing. 72 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: This definitely feels to me like it is being funded 73 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: secretly by the CIA, and they're just like all the 74 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: people who are really good at this are actually just like, yep, 75 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: nailing some CIA intel or yeah, somebody that they just 76 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: saw on the street or something exactly. We find this 77 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: find this one person. It's like, hey, where do we 78 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: happen to be at this intersection right here?

It's literally 83 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: just Google Street for you. And it's just like they 84 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: start to get to know the conditions of that area 85 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: so much better that it's like, oh, I've seen this 86 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: place before, and the sun is like it's like the 87 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: shadows are pointing a certain way, or like the trees 88 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: are at a certain condition, or the hills are a 89 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: certain way that it's like basically, what I'm saying is 90 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: instead of just being like I know that street name, 91 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: or like oh, we're in X town and I recognize that, 92 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: you know, truck stop or whatever, it's like looking at 93 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: the natural world and being like, oh, I know what 94 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: part of the world we're in because of these minute details. Yeah, 95 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: like I have an encyclopedic knowledge of truck stops there 96 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: for my days with you know, as a fan of speed. 97 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: But it's interesting people can do that using other things, 98 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: all right. Radio Shack another great place to score speed 99 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 1: is so radio Shack. It's going viral because their Twitter 100 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: handle at radio Shack. So it's not like a funny 101 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: Twitter handle that like changed its name or whatever, Like 102 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: it's officially it is at radio Shack and they are 103 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: saying some wild shit right now on Twitter, and it's 104 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: you know, it's interesting. It's like, on the one hand, 105 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: it feels like, oh, they've been hacked right on the 106 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: other hand, um, I was like, but is this just 107 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: because radio Shack no longer exists, and so it's like 108 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: the equivalent of one of those rogue nuclear weapons like 109 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: after the fall of the Soviet Union and like nineties 110 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: action movies where they would be like the world is 111 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: now full of loose new like you know, you did 112 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: somebody just buy this? You know, there's definitely a hint 113 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: of maybe somebody just bought this. As radio Shack was 114 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: selling off assets, I don't like, you know, when they 115 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: were closing down the stores, there was like, you know, 116 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: there was not enough left. There was not a lot 117 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: of stuff left that they could sell it everywhere. And 118 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: maybe just radio Shack is one of them, maybe the 119 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: Handle was one of them, right, because it seems like 120 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: what has happened is there are still radio shacks in existence. 121 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: You you may cross paths with the radio Shack in 122 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: the wild. However, they are like not incorporate.

I think the corporate like owner 125 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: of radio Shack basically just cut them loose and they're 126 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: like independently operated. And they also apparently cut loose there 127 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: Twitter handle, and now the person who has it is 128 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 1: saying stuff like any interaction with this tweet will be 129 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: considered for a chance to win catching these motherfucking radio hands. Um. Perfect. Yeah. 130 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: Taking the second half of an edible after feeling nothing 131 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: from the first half is always a bad idea. This 132 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: chocolate bar got me out here fighting for my life. Um, 133 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: and then you know various things uh less appropriate. But anyways, Yeah, 134 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: that's why I do wonder will we be seeing iconic 135 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: brands of the eighties coming back and you know, selling 136 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: their core social media handle to the highest bidding ship 137 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: poster for a day, A day of glory, A sweet 138 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: day of glory.

Um, 169 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: I haven't even really seen the fight part U, but Daniel, 170 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: you showed me, uh you turned me onto John Boy 171 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: j O M b O Y, which I feel like 172 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: this is a little bit like maybe like you turned 173 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: me onto TikTok. It's the John Boys. Seems to have 174 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: a large following, but hey, sometimes people don't know about 175 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: this stuff. But basically, um, he does breakdowns of sports videos. 176 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 1: So we watched a little bit of the lead up 177 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: to the Angels Mariners fight, and as you rightly pointed out, 178 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: the key to these videos is the lip reading. Yes, 179 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: because I've always had the question since I was, you know, 180 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: very young, watching baseball managers charge out and argue with umpires, 181 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: what what are they saying? Because they keep yelling and 182 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: saying things very emphatically, but I can't imagine anything they're 183 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: saying makes any sense. And so he does like an 184 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: accurate reading of like what this baseball manager for the 185 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: Angels is saying to the baseball manager for or I 186 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: guess a player who pitched two inside to Mike Trout. 187 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: And it turns out the answer to what our baseball 188 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: managers saying is not much not much they're saying. They're 189 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: saying a lot of words, um. But it's kind of funny. 190 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: His reading is like, hey, this stuff up here with 191 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: the throwing here, that's bullshit, um, truly saying it in 192 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: like the least concise way possible instead of saying like, 193 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: don't throw at his head. Um. It was five sentences 194 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: to accomplish that same sentiment, which is you know, I've 195 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: always suspected it is a special skill of the baseball 196 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: manager to say the least with the most amount of words, um. 197 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: And that that that tradition seems to be alive and 198 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: shout out to John Boy. Looks like I've got some 199 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: YouTube and ahead of me lots of really good YouTube 200 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: and for for for John Boy. But also, you know, 201 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: I think one thing that John Boy does very well 202 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: is contextualized, because you know, you could see a fight 203 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 1: like this, and if you had not watched the entire 204 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: series or had seen nine days earlier the Angels throw 205 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: a pitch at the Mariners, it all it would all 206 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 1: feel like a little bit curious to be like, why 207 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: is this happening? Would be easy to blame one side 208 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 1: or the other, but you know, real grudge kind of 209 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: stuff here, lots of lots of you know, holding onto 210 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: holding onto this for several days at a time and 211 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: being like, Okay, well, next time we play you in 212 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: two weeks, we're gonna fuck you up. And it's just 213 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: without that context, it's it can feel a little bit 214 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: more like what, what's what's going on here? Where are 215 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 1: they so mad? And it's like, oh wow, they're really 216 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: baby about it holding these grudges. Yeah, baseball. Baseball seems 217 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: chippier this season, um, And I don't watch enough baseball. 218 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: Don't know if that's because like the media is just 219 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: covering it more, but it seems like they're more fights, 220 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: more disagreements, um, which I think generally professional athletes being 221 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,959 Speaker 1: more online, more is demanded of them. It's a harder 222 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 1: life to live now than it was before the advent 223 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: of social media. And so I think we see NBA 224 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: players being just generally like less happy, and I would 225 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: argue rightfully so with just the amount of public interaction 226 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: that they have to deal with. But baseball seems to 227 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: have channeled it in a very baseball way, which is saying, hey, man, 228 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: not cool up here. Bullshit, we don't forget that ship man, 229 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: not in the not huh here what uh? And just 230 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: like fighting an other in dumb ways, Um, bay Max 231 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: is trending. I did. I have seen a movie called 232 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: Big Hero six. Uh. It is a good animated film, 233 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: but I did not know it was a series now 234 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: on Disney plus Baby and there's a episode that is 235 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: making the rounds because the big hero in question, the 236 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: inflatable robot, buys tampons. Is that indeed? It is, yeah, 237 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: the big hubub And I mean, you know, it's one 238 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: of those things that wouldn't matter if someone didn't get 239 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: angry about it for absolutely no reason. But um, you know, 240 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: longtime Twitter idiot Christopher Rufo decided to have a ship 241 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: fit because they're talking about pads and one person happens 242 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: to be wearing a trans flag on their shirt, which, 243 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: you know, what, what message could you possibly be sending 244 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: to the children? But yeah, it's just a scene of 245 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: bay Max buying tampons. The scene is actually really funny 246 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: and um, it's very cute. But at last someone had 247 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: to get mad about it, and now it's trending and 248 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: hopefully I can only hope that this is a great 249 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: advertising for bay Max because while I wasn't aware that 250 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: the show is out. I certainly am now and want 251 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: to watch it. It has nothing to do with bay Watch. 252 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: It's no yeah and no, no, no, that's just bay 253 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: another TV show with bay and I worked Fredian slip 254 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: out of my mouth. Yeah, no, it's just that I'm 255 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: an idiot. More talked about this, none of that talk. 256 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: The big like thing in Big Hero six is that 257 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: the robot is an inflatable, lovely, soft, kind of harmless, 258 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: friendly thing. And I've been hearing some takes lately from 259 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: people who are like, the whole fear of AI is 260 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: actually just sublimated like toxic masculinity, and like fears by 261 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: white men of like being toppled, like having the order 262 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: of things toppled, which really made sense to me, Like 263 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: when you think about the fact that, like the first 264 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: robot movie, these were made in the eighties when it 265 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: was still you know, just only white men were allowed 266 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: to write and make movies, and like their take was 267 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: like robots are dangerous, there are servants, but we have 268 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: to keep them down or else they'll kill us. And 269 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: now I do like the I find myself vibing more 270 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: with with movies where it's like why would they be mean, look, 271 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: they're nice. It's a very specific it's the same same 272 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: thing with aliens. And you know, the idea that aliens 273 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: want to kill us, it's like, well they've been here 274 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: for now, like close to a hundred years, it would appear, 275 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: and they it seems like maybe this idea that like, well, 276 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: if you don't know what something is, you must kill 277 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: it and conquer it is a very particular problem of 278 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: white men, and it's like an outlier that it's not 279 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: like the inevitable way things are. It's just uh. For 280 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: a while there, um that was the dominant point of 281 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: view because it makes rich people continue to make a 282 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: lot of money. As I've said in the past, I 283 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: subscribed to the star trek theory that those aliens are 284 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: just waiting for us to be smart enough to get 285 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: ourselves off the rock, and then they're gonna bring the 286 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: walls down, the curtains going to open, and they go, congratulations, 287 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: you did kill your civilization before you made it into space, 288 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 1: and now we've got to tell you a lot of 289 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: extra stuff.
