So today's like, Veterans Day and, the school, my son's school asked me to come and talk to some of the kids. Yeah. And, you know, here we go with, like, oh, my gosh, all the cliche things that people would assume about veterans. Oh, sure. You know, are you going to go in and dispel myths? No no no no no no no absolutely not.
Yeah. I'm not going to go in there and like kids. Let me tell you about war. We never change.
Sometimes, like, you know, I'll burn popcorn and I'll remind me the smell of the bodies, you know, like you do. Right, kids? Yeah. I was putting logs on my fire, my fire pit, and smelled some burnt hair on my arm and freaked out. Made me think of when I was in Vietnam. Frying Charlie with homemade homemade flamethrowers.
You know Vietnam. My God, how old do you think I am? I'm just kidding.
Modern warfare is different, kids. You just. You just see a thing in some crosshairs and the cursor. You don't look in their eyes anymore. Were you really kill it? When you twist the knife. As you twist the knife, you can no longer looking them in the eye. Did you hear about those three? Yes, I know it's 8:00 in the morning and a drunk, but I had to get drunk.
This only way I talk about this. Kids are like shaking. Parent the room. Scared to like to scared to intervene. She's just said they're shot. Yeah. Everyone just sitting there. The mouth, the gate for the first time. Like these kids are not talking amongst themselves, passing notes, nothing. They're all often moral terror. Yeah, it's more tension. It's moral terror.
Yeah. Let me tell you what happens to kids. Oh, God. Why am I using that voice? I don't know, I like it. It just goes with it. It does, it does. It's almost like the, I bet, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like if you if you start honing in, like, I don't know which Batman that was, but if you start honing in on that voice that they do like.
Yeah, but the actor does. Yep. You just can't not hear it anymore. Like that's all you hear? Like it takes over. And the thing is, they people were right to make fun of it because it's way over the top. It's kind of a little dumb. Yeah, it's it's like what I would do if I was like, using the, like, trying to be like a demon or the voice of Satan or, I don't know if they get you next time I got you, it's better.
I think that's a better voice than his Batman voice. His Batman voice sounded like he was continuously choking on an invisible cock.
Nice. So it was like. It's like a combination of, you know, Doctor Claw and DMX real. Oh, yeah. That's what it sounded like. And I mean, am I am I wrong here thinking that? Okay, like this scary voice of DMX, the scary voice of the stirrup? That shit just made me laugh. They did not right. Scare me in the least.
Yeah, it's it's it's clearly force. Yeah. You know, it's it's not the person's like, I don't know, just expression of voice. It's the person's, like, made up voice. Exactly. In the force. It's almost farcical. And. Yeah. And that's why I, I put that back voice in the same category. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's not deeply expressive or scary.
It's just retarded. Yeah. Right. And so and so, you know, you know, the backstory of Batman, like, from the comics and from, you know, now the multiple derivatives, you know, there's this huge cop out, I hate this, like Marvel and DC and all this, the way they explain, like all these reboots and derivatives of their characters is like, they go to the multiverse.
It's like, come on, come on. The multiverse need to do that. I'm massive. Cop out. If cop out, it's like, look, we need to change this culturally because now Spider-Man needs to be Miles Morales. Yeah. Right, right, right. The this this new Superman interacts with with people of color. Right. So yeah. Yeah. He doesn't live in a completely white bread world.
No, no. People of color. Yeah, yeah. Like the only people of color in the back, in the in the back of the day were like, definitely villains like that. Right, right. Yeah. It's all good. It's all good. Culturally appropriate. Because I've had it on lock on the white is right. White is clean, pure. Correct. There is that classic.
Right. What is it? Third base. Black cat is bad. Like bad guys were black. Must have been a white guy that started all that. Damn it. All right. I like your little. That's classic. Yeah. Classic rap. Yeah, maybe. I don't know, I don't, I don't know what one rap becomes. Classic rap just like half, half the songs that I thought were only like a few years older now.
Classic rock. So that's what I'm saying, it seems. All right. Maybe I'm just getting old in an accelerated way, but it seems like oldies are becoming old. Bastard. Yeah. Right, right. Well, it makes sense because the amount of music is just mushrooming through. My gosh, anybody can, you know, with with Auto-Tune and how who race their own songs, you know, these days.
I mean, no, buddy. So it's just a, there's no Elton John's out there that own their own catalog. They said Bob Dylan's. Yeah. And we've talked about the AI artists emerging. This is you know, a few of them are have like somewhat started to break through. But this is a matter of time, right? Yeah. You're going to have a complete personas.
You know, you are hologram Tupac is going to look like nothing in feature. And that, what was it? Was it effin Mecca or something we were talking about before? Yeah. And it's like that. The only reason they faltered was they offended people in the fact that they created a wholly manufactured world with things that don't even exist, like, absolutely.
And, impossible, impossible situations. But they predicated upon a, a racist ghetto ideal of this is what I want to amass, and this is what I want to have, and this is who I want to be sure just and just scan the, the, the, the landscape of all the existing content and produce the, you know, amount of some form of summary or a derivative of.
Yeah. And an elevation of it. Right, right, right. Definitely, definitely. You have to have the elevation because that's always everything gets pushed to the extremes. That's what gets the attention in humanity. Yeah. Right now. Yeah. So you know talking about a for someone that's in the camp of like oh my gosh, AI is going to destroy her. You know, we're dead in the future.
You know, I think we're too I've come to the conclusion recently. We're too dumb to make AI that's going to destroy us.
Well, the idea is the AI gets smart beyond us, right? So, I mean, the the the people that talk that are like the, you know, in the camp of like, we're we're already dead, you know, type camp, right. You know, our are just saying that that's exactly it is that it's going to we're never see it coming that we planted the seed.
And in essence, once AI is truly able to assimilate information and form its own conclusions and is in control of actuators. Yeah. It control the things that interface in the physical world were fun or you know that and you know, is able to rewrite its own source code. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they can do metaprogramming. Yeah. Once that happens, unlike human beings who kind of suck at it, some people are pretty good at it.
Some people are good at it, but they have limited resources and limited faculty. Right? In theory, the AI wouldn't. And so that's the that's the time. That's it. And I mean, you know, right now it's bound by the silicon substrate which we build it on. Right. Yeah. But now we have the quantum computing coming online. And of course the AI is going to come up with, you know, something even no humans ever thought of.
Right? Right. And so then it creates this new, matrix of computing, you know, it learns to compute in a new way. Yeah. Because it would have infinite variants to play around with. That's it. Right. And inside, on every level, like our our insight into our own selves, how to repair ourselves, how to, you know, really work on the lower levels.
It's not there yet, but it would be in view to effect it could understand how to tweak every layer of itself. Yeah. And they could do everything in the sandbox and then pick the best variant. Yeah. And move into the new variant. Yeah. Like that's just something we can't do. We can't rewrite our biology and move into a new variant of ourselves because we just don't understand it enough.
Yeah. Right. So you know, right there. Yeah. I mean, you get something beyond metaprogramming. You get something where it can create a new platform and rehome itself. Right? So, you know, combine all existing technology should even come up with an analog. You know, they're talking now about this new emergence of reemergence of analog computers. I heard about, at least optical analog.
Yeah. So so, you know, these are just within the human imagination. So who knows what the hell I could possibly be familiar with, right? Yeah, yeah. And really, that's what it is. Like you said, it's a synthesis of all available knowledge. And then, you know, a rapid experimentation. So one thing we know from previous generation, and then a lot of people in our generation, you know, you know, the, the current generation, I should say, and previous generation, one thing we know for sure about humanity is that we that people can get 100% caught up in an entertainment cycle.
So and we know that enough because basically companies have created these entertainment cycles that they hit they curate and moderate. Yeah. So that we so they make money. Right, right. And then you have consumption as a form of content creation. Right. So yeah. Yeah I. Wow. I mean it's it's a Mobius strip, right. Yeah. That's what I'm saying.
A cycle. Yeah. And people can get 100% caught up in a perpetual entertainment cycle and all they need is food, right? Right, right. They need food. And yeah, these food, water and and opportunities where the environment permits that. So like, a young person doesn't have to pay the bills. So you know, they have a lot more unquote discretionary time.
Right. And then the more discretionary time in general, unfettered discretionary time in general, a young person these days is given the more consumptive they are, right. You know, we were talking about this the other day, in essence, you know, these content platforms are the next evolution of you are the product. Because what they do is they sell content moderation, they sell content.
So they have to moderate it, promote it, and, you know, really heavily pureed it and really decide with the face of their platform is about. Yeah. Speaking of which, I keep getting banned on TikTok just endlessly. So you got banned? Akin. I'm not even putting anything out like, remotely. These these aren't incendiary posts, right? I mean, so they're not culturally divisive.
I scroll TikTok and there's like some underage girl and dancing or something. And then there's this a I don't even know what the there's this recurring sound bite you hear all the time. So you put my dick in the mouth. It's like, did you g g g g? I'm like, what the hell? And then there's the other one.
Open up the safe. Which has got a lot to say. Pussy in your face. I'm like, what? My videos have no cussing. No. Yeah, like, no. Never would have. No, no wait. No no. Like exploitation of underage right. Like don't say yeah. Oh my goodness. And and but that's that's what TikTok has decided is content they want on their platform because it draws the eyeballs.
They want the sex and the, the sexual, you know, content and the, the violent content. Sex and violence is like acceptable domains. But whenever you deal in, what you're dealing in is that political arena. And I, you know, you start treading on the ground of, hey, we need to figure out what free speech. Yeah, I mean, come on, call in Ted Cruz.
Fat Dracula isn't isn't like, terrible thing. No, no, it's not terribly divisive. It's not awful, but it's rolling the grass laughing your ass off. Funny, but, which is the whole idea. You know what I'm going for? And and to be fair, you're you were also doing this. Hey, you're also doing this to our Emperor Biden. Yeah, yeah, it's just all across the board.
And, you know, because because our political system is nothing but a joke. So the best thing to do in terms of politics is just laugh about it. Well, yeah, lampoon it. But also the opportunity to say, hey, you know, but this should be different. Yeah. Anyway, so I don't know if TikTok is going to be it be the platform for that we use for, the promotion for money.
You're out something that that doesn't it isn't opposed to furthering what I would say is fairly mild, inroads into political commentary. Yeah, well, I tested the same content on all the other platforms, and it's 100%. No problem. Then there we go. And it really comes down to what we're talking about. It's that, you know, like Musk right now, he's screwing around on Twitter with the blue blue check verified right there.
Used to have to go through all these hoops to get. Now he's decided you pay $8 a month for it. Anybody can have it. And he's, he added, for one day, an official gray check that was randomly distributed to what it seems like people that he enjoys already that like Kanye West got a great jack. Some governmental entities got a great check.
A great check. Okay. Yeah. It's the it's official. It's it's like double verified official. Oh, okay. And, you think just like, color the blue would be better than the grave, right? Right. The blue stands out. But, you know, then he kills it. Why? Who won the war? Right? He kills it. Oh, shit. He kills it in a day.
All right, you go and.
Basically decides that's not the way we're going. And the, the head of product development has to jump in on Twitter and say, hey, we didn't kill it. We trialed it. And then and now we're going to focus on giving it to governmental entities and, you know, officials. Official things across the board and trial that out.
See how it works. How strange. Yeah. I mean, so, you know, I don't I don't really, to be honest, I really don't know much about you. I don't know much about all these mega billionaires. Probably I should, but I don't know much. But, you know, I just I just don't. So, you know, I in the grand scheme of, like, assuming, you know, I just have to make like some general assumptions that I make for any given person.
So, you know, that's right. I'll talk much about them because I just don't know much about it. You know, I haven't read and study. I, I haven't studied in depth first man either. I just talking about surface level things that I see. But from what I understand is that, you know, he has no prior experience in this domain.
Right. And if he's enough of the eagle maniac that's been portrayed, at least you know he's going to want to be at the helm and thinking that he knows what people you know. So you're a billionaire for long enough, and you're going to be out of touch with the reality of 100%. I mean, he, you know, he tries to claim he's in touch because he lives in a tiny home on space property.
That okay, you know, it's like, I, I live like normal person. It's a $50,000 tiny home that I put on space. Gravity. Yeah. I got the meta on a on an interview he did recently where he kind of broke down and was crying and shit, really, about not wanting to be alone. How lonely is the, you know. Well, I'm sure that could imagine that being true.
Being the richest man in the world for even a brief period of time is lonely. Plus, when you're in a tiny home, the walls can really come in on you feel like the walls are coming in on you pretty easily too. Oh hell yeah. And I mean, you know, he's got quite a few kids, just had another one, but he's not with the girl who he's had the last two kids with.
Oh, the rock star girl. Yeah. Well, so, you know, anyway, that that aside, you know, the the the architects of the future are probably not the architects of the future that we want. Well, have the resources to be the architects of the future are probably not the ones that we that would work in our best interest, being plebs, being the common man.
Yeah. And so that whole book that I'm writing is about that exact topic. Right. So I don't know if I hadn't told you about the, the book's title, it's called The Fate Makers. Okay. And so the, the basic premise of the whole entire story, the, the fundamental, overarching theme of the story is that through technology, mankind is finally at the precipice to which we have some control over our own fate.
Right. So, so, this is a version of the story that plays out with human beings at the helm of their own fate, you know, type idea. And so what I've, what I've done is I've, so is this a kind of like a novel grounded in reality or or is this a oh, so, instructional thing or a.
Well, it's really I change the underlying elements to it that, you might find this. I think certain people would find it fascinating, but I'm kind of gone back and forth because it gets chief sophisticated too fast, and I don't want to leave people behind because, okay, I don't want the core of the story to be lost because.
So you want more of an on ramp to complexity, ideas and the complexion. Yeah. So, what I tried to do, this is really crazy, but, you know, like the fourth wall in. How do you forget you're hitting? Yeah, I don't know. You know, like the fourth wall in in, in in a movie, right. You know, like, character or come out of character and address the audience.
Oh, yeah. Like that. Yeah, yeah. Hilarious. You know this show psych that I. That was on years ago. That does that all the time. I'm watching it right now. Yeah. Some shows just live in the fourth wall and, you know, make that part of the stick of the of the story of the show. Yeah. So to to fourth wall reality is it's kind of a tempting premise for me in the book.
And so what I've done is I've actually tinkered with AI. I've been tinkering with AI for a long time now, and I actually have been tinkering with AI to write the story. Okay. So I'm giving it the premise, and then you're using one of those large language models like GPT three or TensorFlow. Okay. TensorFlow has been the biggest one.
Are you feeding it like a massive corpus and have it generates. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So the idea is that, I'm feeding it social data. Right. Feeding it all your own writing or something. Some, but I'm feeding it trend data for like where society is moving in general. Right. Okay. And then throwing in elements of the ideas of the story and then seeing what the AI says it's going to be.
And so inevitably, if I like, let's say, if I was a and, could hire a huge team to work on this, what I would have to have the team do is basically have the, the AI engine write the story of our future before it happens based on the highest probability. So in essence, you're checking.
A lot of different data, disparate data sources, trying to have a weaver them together in some sort of model is predictive of our socio economic future as human beings. Yes. And then allow the AI to to to tell the story, to write the story. Right. So, I call it nostro ai is the, AI that I work, right?
Yeah. Almost like. No, no. Yeah, you got it. Right. And, so it's it's it's no strong AI. And what it does is it's basically what it's trying to do is, is, is rate the most probable story of what the future would, would, would be like in the hands of man. So take the known art and extend it.
Right, right, right. We basically yeah, culminate every possible techno technological and social trend line and write that into a story. And so how do you create an AI that's cognizant of like that, that is aware of this data, you know, that is like able to manipulate it on the level of, you know, not just looking at it as numbers, but understanding it in a.
How do you create the framework that it understands the context of the data like. Well, that's that's part of the beauty of it is that I don't want to do that because I'm that's going to introduce bias. Right. Okay. Yeah. That makes sense. So just this is the this is the information. And of course I'm like the information.
So the bias is built in, but also trying to have it produce the arc of the story that I, that I predicted myself wrapped up into fiction. Right. So what a what are what a novel concept. Right. Is this a idea of a fiction story being written from nonfiction reality from a non fictitious reality? Right. So like here's here's what man is doing.
Okay. Now write the story of how man ends up. And you know, this is what Sci-Fi writers is kind of done manually for a long time, especially the ones that are kind of almost like prognosticators like, what's his name? Fucking,
As William Gibson. The people keep talking about him lately because his stories are somewhat coming home to roost with the cyber decks and, and all the things that happened in, in his different cyber deck is like a little handheld or portable information terminal sort of thing. And how how our phones are kind of like that. And they've been talking about all the social things he predicted that have come home to roost and, like, yeah, as a chasm of similar things.
Right, right. So in my story, the idea starts off with is this AI has been has been unleashed and it's completed its work. The A's work is done okay. And the AI has given this output of our future. This is a guy in the book called no. Yeah, yeah yeah. Yeah, exactly. And so what this AI has done is it's, it was set to this task of like what?
To predict the future. Like what is going to happen, right? With the highest degree of probabilities or highest degree of certainty possible. Right. And so it completed its work, but it wrote it in its own language, that is language that nobody knows. So it created its own notation for convenience and for also and I guess this is what I'm kind of talking about, like how do you imbue these random data points with meaning enough that it can be manipulated as objects, right?
Or looked at and understood by the AI? And so the AI created its own notation to manipulate these things, to work with them. Right. And the and the, the, the body of information that it produced was so vast that no, no human in a lifetime could go through even a portion of it. Right? So it's like it's it's the Library of Congress times a multiplier, you know, of information that it came out with in its prediction.
Yeah. And, and in a language that nobody can understand. So what we did is we went we went through the process of having it summarize and summarize this in English or whatever. Lingua franca that. Right. So the day. Right. Right. So take the 500 billion words and digest that down to a simple English language version in chapter format that we can understand.
Can you give us a 20 page report in a summary exactly that our that we can understand. And then that chapter one. So so like it it takes it comes out episodically. I think you need to do something. Sure. There needs to be an on ramp, but I think you need to take some Futurama principle. They were David X Cohen and the other people who wrote that stuff said we were willing to do a joke if only 10% of our audience would get it.
Think you need to be willing to write the book? Even a fully 10% of your intended audience will get it. Yeah, so just let it, let it, let it happen this way. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, the beginning is already written because it's been deciphered, quote unquote, by the AI for us to consume. And so the first, the, the first premises are there.
Right. And so the whole storyline starts to culminate around one of the, one of the main characters, which is this, technology guru that's spent a lot of years creating as different technologies. Okay. And is currently retiring, working as a university professor. You know, I so it opens up the whole thing opens up like basically in his classroom.
And, he's he's talking to students about the arc of technology and, you know, future and whatnot and various things. And the kids inside the classroom are using things that he invented, like his own technologies. So it describes that that's. Yeah, like beginning chapters of this are really written. So that's been translated. So that's what I'm saying. You should already you sure.
You know, give some kind of brief entry into the world and the concepts. But assume your audience.
Is on the same level as you. Yes. Yeah. Well, that's the idea. The scapegoat for that is not the same over me. Is the AI. So. Well, yeah, but you know what I'm saying? I mean I'm thinking you distress over so much. How the hell do I get people to understand the concepts in this book? Think you just need to, instead of watering them down or diluting them, just throw them the fuck out there.
Oh, I'm very so. Yeah, you're right. And this is coming from experience because in all the novel socials I've done and all this, all the speaking and stuff is that I've gotten feedback over the years and, to my chagrin, actually, that have over dramatically overestimated the knowledge set of the people I'm interacting with. And so basically, the majority of the feedback I've gotten over the years is like, we can't understand what we're talking about.
But yeah, but a book is different. A book, a poll. Yeah. True. And the book, you can take your time and go with something else. Yeah, yeah. Look is a pool. And I have looked things up in books constantly. Yeah. Whenever I've been reading them. Yeah. Maybe it's the format that you don't have to worry about that. Yeah.
You're right. And you know or or then like also who cares, right. You're okay. You got to write the book for you. You're writing this to get this out of your fucking head. If somebody else likes it, cool. I mean, I've already articulated and written the story down so that the story is out there already. It's just, you know, this is this this version has all the little tiny micro bells and whistles.
Well, yeah. This is your this is your ready for public consumption version. Yeah. You're making. Yeah. So I mean, I think I've told you the story before. Maybe we should do one podcast morning where I tell the story. Yeah. And just leave out the ending. Right. Or, you know, tell part of it. Tell just enough to watch people's habits.
So, yes, the story involves the coming of Jesus. Oh, nice. And yes, the story out of Turin. Or where are we going to be in it? Wow, you got it. That's exactly where we got to be in a nice. And, in order to fill it, we had to use AI to fill the gaps in the right. Right.
With other bits of human DNA. I mean, no no no no no no no. The most statistical practical model based on people alive today. Well, okay. Even with the Human Genome Project, that's what they did, right? Right. So you fill in the gaps, just filled in the gap. There's all these gaps. And so, you know, statistically it's the most accurate probable, DNA sequence that we could come up with.
All right. So we've already done it once, very hard physically with tools that were developed in the early 90s with the genome project. So, you know, this will just be a test of a test of how far we've gotten. It's fill in the gaps. Yeah. And so, really, really the the idea isn't to create, resurrect Jesus.
The idea is actually the whole thing is, is, is around marketing. Well, it's a there's already built in, there's already built an appeal there. There's already a, a hunger for a messiah. So you go ahead and take the one that people identify. You take one that people identify with strongly and is a prophet in multiple religions. Why not?
Right. It's a great marketing opportunity. Yeah. So military colonialism, like classic, you know, totalitarian colonialism, militaristic militarized colonialism and now colonial colonialism. Right. His reached its saturation point. And in a capitalistic model, you have to always grow well when your global companies and you've grown into all your markets and can't tap other huge markets, you. The holy grail is to figure out how to tap into those markets.
Well, you can coerce the military to of some country like the United States, it's basically Iron Fist their way into that market. Right? So like you can, you know, convince all of a sudden they have weapons of mass destruction. And after you win the war against them, defeating them and and thwarting them from producing their quote unquote, weapons of mass destruction, arresting that this has already happened.
Well, right. Doesn't it, doesn't the history repeat? Right. Right. That's what I'm just saying. It's interesting that we've seen that play itself out. We know it works. Right. And that's why the AI model is predicting the story. Because yeah, it's saying, okay, these people, these these great people and their tools are going to find new ways to do the classic things that they did, and they'll find new ways to do it with this level of sophistication.
And nobody sees it. As for face value, what it is. Right. So this basically conglomerate of companies come up with this idea is that the only thing really, in the modern context is blocking them from these markets, right. Is culture. Right. And we've seen numerous failures of trying to enter a market like,
Jim Brands. Right, right, right. They, they tried twice before they finally figured it out the third time to bring Taco Bell to the Mexican market. They screwed it up a bad the first stop. It created a ton of ill will and almost hatred. The second time, for a little better. They tried to go with like, street street carts and street food.
Yeah. The third time they figured it out with a restaurant model that is similar to the US, where they create products and words that don't actually exist in any culture. Right. And so then people don't have the strong ties to it and then don't have a love or hatred for it. They just eat it. Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah.
There you go. So, they, they found the formula to break into the culture. Yes. Well, so in the, in, in the story is the AI model is predicting that to overcome cultural cultural difficulties, the method to go about that is to, basically create a new cult religion. Right. Base it enough on the things people know, right?
You're Jesus. Right? Right, right. So how do you bring the Christians in? How do you bring the Muslims in? How do you bring the Jews in? How do you bring the Hindus in? How do you bring the Taoists in? How do you bring the atheists in? I mean, are we are we resurrecting a pantheon of prophets? No. You're resurrect, resurrecting, resurrecting one.
That's the culmination of all the prophecies from all the different religions. Yeah, yeah. I mean, hey, you know, the Jews disagree that he was in science, but you could probably get him on board. There are so used for this. So. Right. So. So how would you get the scientists in? How would you get the atheists and the scientific community I think how do you get them in?
You let them verify, you let them verify and you use technologies. You. Right. Right. And so and so the the scientists go in and they say this person generally has these abilities. Okay, okay. So in this story you're cloning Jesus not just because of the Colts personality and the marketing opportunity. Well, you're cloning Jesus because you genuinely believe this person did have these abilities, and you're going to be able to showcase them once they're alive.
Yes, but now you're and but you're in control of this person now. And so this person really. But if you genuinely believe this person was nearly godly and could turn water into wine and a whole host of other, like, bring people back from the dead, you would you think you can draw them well. So yes, because you the whole time have just used incredible smoke and mirrors to fake that these powers exist.
So you didn't bring them back to life thinking they would be able to do it? Actually. But you'd rather apply technology and marketing on the next level to say, hey, David Copperfield it right? And you have to make it believable by bringing back this idea of like, now you've resurrected this, this deity from the past, right? And so then you get the faith community right there.
Okay. You get the science community by saying, okay, look, here's the data of what we've done, and you have them chase rabbit holes of and validate ready and busy with false experiments that are very complex. Right. And data of manufactured data. Right. And there's there's all kinds of like really great skeptical scientists in the past that have been fooled by common tricks.
Yeah. So what this new sophisticated level is, is it's not just parlor tricks. It's parlor tricks on steroids. Right. So, you know, mass stadiums or congregates from all over the world are watching these miracles be performed in real time, right? Okay, so are we more bringing scientists on board? Yes. Or are we more distracting? You have a core group of scientists that are on board.
Okay. So you have a core group you've gotten to sign on and say, look, you know, carry the banner for you and try to recruit and assess. Yes, because they've been just like they've been flipped psychologically, just like a CIA agent would, like CIA would flip somebody. Right? Right. So they flipped a series of scientists because they've talked, hey, can we get to Tyson?
Can we get it? Can we get it? Of course. All right. We got we got to draws Tyson on. Jesus resurrected Jesus. Yeah, we got them. All right. You know, and so, you know, the all this effort gets put forward. And I guess my point is you need populist people. You need people who interface the public to popularize science.
Right. So so here's what happens. Is that the just to tell, I guess I'm kind of into it some as well talk about it. So what happens is, is that there's this big leak on what they're doing, but what the scheme they're up to and it goes through Wikileaks. Right. Yeah. And, the company is three guys that scream would not have resonated like that in the studio.
You just don't know what technology can do. I guess that's what we're talking about right now. Go ahead. Yeah. Oh, the fourth wall. We just broke it. Yeah. So so so, Right. So so catch this part. Right. So this is like the funny cool part I think cool part. So this this what does this mean that this company is up to.
And it's all of it's like paperwork and stuff gets released to Wikileaks. Okay. And the companies like, oh my God, you know, damage control. Damage control. Is Julian Assange a minor character here? Please tell me. He could be. Why not? You know, or whoever his predecessor or whatever. Yeah. It doesn't matter where this is setting. You don't need these specific names, right?
But just the function equivalent to whatever Wikileaks is at the time, right? You know, gets this information and releases it to the world public, you know, to the public on the global stage. Yeah. And all of a sudden it gets revealed what one of these major, major, major companies, group, conglomerate or companies is actually doing. Right. And so people freak out, like, why are you messing with this kind of stuff?
Like, right, right. Hey, you know, I was kind of cool with the idea of resurrecting the Tasmanian devil or a or a mammoth, but. Jesus. Whoa. And so the, the, the shadowy figurehead of this whole organization comes out, comes, gets live on this big press conference and admits to the whole thing and says, yes, this is we've done this.
Yes, we've created slave genius. Well, not that, yeah, we've done this because we, we we really wanted to do something for the citizens of the planet. You know, we wanted to take our incredible wealth and knowledge and power and convert that into something that people can can finally, you know, spiritually get behind. We wanted to bring about the Messiah, the second coming of Christ.
Yes. And here's the guy, right? Yeah. And right out of the gate, he starts doing crazy shit that that drops everyone's jaw. Right? So, you know, you could find out later in the story. The company themselves is what leaked the information. Yeah, it was it was an intentional leak. Right? Right. And, because they wanted to create the controversy in order to, you know, get the publicity right.
I firmly believe that's how Apple has become the multi-trillion dollar penalty. They are careful and calculated leaks. Yeah, well, I mean, everything could be scripted in a, in this kind of reality that we have today. Right. And so anyway, since it came out in this leaked kind of thing, like, you know, the porn tape wasn't put out intentionally.
Wink, wink. Right, right, right. Yeah. Everybody's watching it. Kim K didn't do that on purpose. Right. So now everybody's watching it. And now that's the topic I never was mind. Right. And so basically this company releases Jesus porn tape. And now the whole entire world is buzzing with what in the world is happening? What is this thing? What is this guy?
Who is this guy? Right. Yeah. And so that's basically like his his his, December 25th birth. Nice. So here we go in with the traditional Christian idea when he was born instead of when he was probably born. Awesome. A little bit, yeah. See, and this is in his birth. This is his. This isn't per se, his birth.
This is the second coming. This is the announcement of his existence. Right? And immediately he starts doing things and saying things and and, putting on a show that's this unbridled. And so, anyway, you have, NASCAR driver that there suit is entirely riddled with logos from all these different sponsors and the car is covered. But what you really have is you have an incredibly talented human being that can drive like, crazy.
Awesome. Yeah, like like like a NASCAR. Or you can have formula one, whatever you're talking about. Like incredibly, incredibly still the individuals the steering wheel for for federal one. Yeah. You forget it, for fuck's sake. They're just all the shit that's on it. I don't even know what half of it is. Oh, and like, they're micro adjustments and they're they're skills off the chart, right?
Yeah. And so what you've done is you've adorned all this philosophical and product marketing labels bridged off of this talent. Right. And that's the exact idea with this, created Messiah, is your culturally pulling in all these ideas onto the backs of drawing from that shared wealth, culture and experience. And, you know, really, you're taking art and culture to the next level.
You're creating a shared pool, right? And so this guy does a faith, stadium, massive stadium filled with people and people outside the stadium and people beyond that, like crowds in the millions coming to see this person. And it's sponsored by XYZ company. Yeah, right. But not only sponsored by is integrated into the presentation. Right. So who's the.
Who's the sponsor. Right. Who's the company behind all the tech. Who's the. Well it's a conglomeration of companies right okay. That now have this new, angle. That's insane. I would give brethren lives in my room. Haha. So anyway, not only is the company busy doing all this stuff and putting on this spectacle show, getting the attention of billions of people around the world, but finally it actually is working.
They're getting into these new markets, right? They are having a major effect culturally appropriating all these different cultures. Right? So it's fucking working. Yeah. Well, they do some tests on this individual and, you know, they is independently independent group and, you can't see in the podcast, but I just put that in the air quotes and he's off the charts, right.
The, the the the intelligence is off the charts. Right. And some of the things that he can do are verify scientifically by this third party agency. So yes, he has the healing touch. Yes, he has a degree of clairvoyance. Yes. He turned water into wine or cause like beer choice. He can legit. So this third party auditing, group has completely verified his abilities, right.
And have released the data. But this all a fucking ruse, right? Yeah. The actual test is he's far below average across the board because they raised him. They they accelerated his growth. They had him in a vacuum, you know, basically for years hiding him. So they know them to be coachable. Yeah. They built him. But he's you know, for all intents and purposes a bumbling idiot.
Right. Like we're talking 9100. But he's he's got good people skills. Of course, he's very personable. And you know, he's a great stage former he's a great actor okay. So this guy's arithmetic off the charts charisma off the charts. Intelligence. Not so much. All right. Special capabilities. No, they don't know it in our dad. Character builder. Right, right, right.
He is. Yeah. He's, charisma is Max with bonus. With it, with bonus modifiers. Right? Right. He's over an actual 20. Yeah. God mode on that. Yeah. He don't even have to ever do a saving throw when it comes to charisma. Check. So we got that. But, what about strength? Is he, like, a no? Guess he's got to be a really good looking guy, right?
Oh, Kriseman. Yeah. So charisma and so looks attractiveness off chart. And so strength has to come with that. He has to have at least he's got a great body. Yeah. He's got to have he's not particularly physically credibly strong okay. Just has a fantastic. All right. Of course. Of course. So he's right there in the middle in our character builder right.
Yeah. He's got there is not the charts. 95% of the women on the planet would want it right away. All right. He's he's the sexiest man alive, right? Oh, by far. And there will be no as long as he exists, there will be no other competitor. All. Absolutely. But intelligence factor. Right. And, But it doesn't matter. So this data gets revealed to the conglomerate that made him and all this kind of stuff.
And they're so disappointed. Right. The the main guy is like so disappointing. He's like, don't worry about it though. Don't worry about it. We got it right. But you all. And I'm sorry. You hunters are, but he's an idiot. Yeah, we're sorry to say, but it doesn't matter. This is this is all a program thing, right? This is just a stage performer.
And as far as that's concerned, he has everything we need. Cool. Right. So, as the story progresses, massive, massive, massive numbers of people start around the world, start rallying around this figure, okay. And it's getting way a little bit out of control. Like the company that the conglomerate that created this person can't even believe it. Like how?
Right. It'd be like, this is working too good. This is gonna be like that old memory standard. Lim Lotus, Intel, Microsoft. We're gonna have a triumvirate. Yeah. You know, whoever the biggest companies are. Yeah, yeah. So, they want to basically take him down a notch because it's getting. People are getting too fanatical. People are getting to. That's beyond what they wanted.
Right? They're just trying to get into markets. They're not trying to create like a global riot. Right. And anyway, so of course there's naysayers. There's two there's groups out there that are seriously about saying this is an abomination. Look, the whole thing was leaked. It's all just a scam as a scandal. They're just trying to get into markets because the whole plan has been released, right?
Oh, wow. And so they're saying, you know, this can't be real. So the league was full. Yeah, the league was full, but it wasn't. It was. It was all by by design. Right. So okay, I almost think about it like this was the full leak done to basically be like, self-selected like like great spam. Spam is self-selecting.
It gets rid of the who are too smart. Exactly. So like this leak got rid of segmented the market so to speak and key in on the global Moros right. And let them it let them it let them reveal to the world what they've done without having to reveal, without having to find a marketing way to do it right, to just say, this is what we did.
If you're willing to deal with it, cool. It's not. So since the porn tape was leaked, right? The morality of the girl in the porn tape, I think it's a Kardashian or somebody like the morality is preserved because they didn't mean for that to be leaked, right? Yeah. So, like, they didn't want to get a porn out there and get a bunch of attention by for certain reality and pureness of the company's intentions is preserved.
Yes. That's right. And now the creation is then has a has a degree of validity. Right. So, anyway, I'll fast forward because there's this awesome juicy bits in the story. So they send him off to a group, a group of scientists and engineers to help solve a major problem. And they send them to this that's working on fusion power, right?
And he comes out and he gets there. And everyone's a little underwhelmed with him. And, you know, of course, the scientists are underwhelmed with the gentleman because he's he's not that impressed. He's underwhelmed. But then in the meeting he starts to talk about ideas that he's things he's experienced in talking to people and whatnot throughout these exploits of going out through the world.
And big Guy is able to really synthesize and catalog pretty well. Yes. And he so he he says the exact thing that those scientists need to hear to hit the breakthrough and fusion power becomes a reality. So so the company sends him out there to fall on his face, right? But in turn, he ends up being a saving faculty.
What they need to to to to unlock the technology. Now, the whole entire science community is hooked on this guy, right? Right. And the scientists that will work on him like he was exactly what we needed to to make this happen. He gave us that that insight that none of us had. Yeah. Hours of talking. Right, right, right.
And I really got to figure out how that brother got my fucking group. I had somebody over there yesterday. Nobody can figure out how the hell my rats and a squirrel got in my bedroom. That's awesome. But they're in there. I don't see it. I think it is an inside job. Yeah, he's. Take it with Sam. He was like, oh no, no no no.
Yeah, yeah. Sam's pet rat let in the the squirrel his girlfriend. And then the whole thing cascaded from. Yeah. So, so tomorrow I'll tell the story. How about that? Oh, yes. Why not? What I'll use is that our, the appetite of our podcast listeners. So let me let me, the intellectual whetstone have been used. So.
So now that the appetite is wet. And let me give one last bit. Right. Because we're about to end. So let me give you one last juicy bit. Well, let's put it this way. Come to find out that this person isn't dumb at all. Okay, this person, just. Our measurements are ways of determining intelligence. Yes. Really? Yes.
Somebody right now with a hundred, with a with a 500 IQ wouldn't register on an IQ test. It makes sense. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. So this person isn't only, smart, they're their intelligence is is off the charts like beyond off the charts. And it was because of the unique way that this person was educated. So the growth was accelerated, as was the education program.
So this person got the synthesis of the best possible educational experience. And a child could ever have got. So, so basically basically it had a divine or an ideal upbringing.
Catch it. Yeah. And so they did two good. Yeah. Yeah. Without meaning dude. Right. Which was exactly how AI that's going to help or hurt us is going to be created. We're not going to do that on purpose. Right. And so all the powers are fake and CGI and all that kind of stuff and all the intelligence is like so disappointing and blah, blah, blah, right?
Yeah. And so there's this turning point of the story, and this is where we'll start for tomorrow, is that there's this big mega rally, right? Huge, huge. Like he's healing people on stage. He's doing all this kind of stuff. And it's crazy, right? Yeah. People are like rock star tripping over them selves. Women are fainting. You know, the whole thing.
He's like, you know that that one preacher, like, just waves his hand. People fall back and shit. That's not even close. Like, people are way more intoxicated with this. This person, right, coming off of this massive success of breaking the breaking through the glass ceiling on on fusion. Right. So off of this now, like, everybody wants to touch this person's hand, right?
Right. So anyway, it's like a three, four hour mega rally. And halfway through there's this like intermission. Okay. And of course, they're selling all these products and stuff during the intermission. They're they're making billions off of every one of these rallies. Billions and billions. And it's a TV spectacle. And what they make on the TV spot makes the Super Bowl look like child's play.
Right? Like people are watching this bigger than the World Cup. Yeah. People are watching this shit unfold. Yeah, right. The haters, the naysayers and the fans. But but 90% are fans. Yeah. 90% of the population is like at least has come on board and the others are such haters, they can't help but watch too. So it's like it's it's captivated the minds of man.
Right for you. Yeah. So during the intermission, literally he goes out into like this back alleyway that's guarded in protecting the stuff like this. And this fan, this old lady manages to sneak in through there, get get by the security and approaches him alone on the back of this building. Right. So like, it's gated around the corner, basically.
Right. So no one's allowed in. And this person was able to still manage to get in there because she was in their early. Right. She got in there like way earlier. She was a homeless wretch. Right. Disease miss really terrible disfigured person. And she goes up to him and as begging him to heal her because with how terrible.
Right. She's, she has this terrible sob story that she can tell in 10s. It's, you know, she's right. She's got her elevator pitch, she's got her elevator pitch down pat, and she's talking about how much pain she's at. And, he he was he shocked that somebody was there, like, how did this lady get here? Right. He's just out literally taking like a five second breather.
Right? Yeah. And, he basically she comes up to him and she's grabbing his hand and she's kissing his hand and she's like, you know, please, please just, you know, do please heal me. Like, please take away this pain. Yeah. And he he touches her and he goes, my child, I will take away all of your pain. And she instantly incinerates into ash me and flies away in the wind.
And her ashes drift away in the wind. And the door opens. You ready to go back on stage and without missing the be like, let's go, let's do this. I mean, he did take away her pain 100% pins, pains, relief, you know, and she off this mortal coil. Yeah. Her exit crescents is released. And when he when he when he's in the midst of of bestowing this this, you know, damnation to this and complete incineration to this, to this chick, the look in his face is, like, orgasmic.
So he he's really into spontaneous human combustion. He says he's big fan. Just complete instant, instantaneous to disintegrate. Yeah. Right. And, you know, incineration and disintegration. Wow. You know. So yeah, now it's revealed in the story that not only is this person beyond genius, this person is fucking powerful, too. Yeah. We don't know if they can do good, but we know they can destroy.
Oh no. They've done amazing amount of good so far so we know they can build up. This is the first negative. This person is about it. All right. So so far they've been able to in a very calculated way release the key to fusion to even beings far below them. Right? I mean, it was supposed to be a fail.
It was supposed to be like a setback, right? Intentional setback to tamp down the fantasy that was brewing around this person. But it had the exact opposite effect because it was a major success. Well, it was a major success because of what they decided to do and how they played the situation. Right. They played their hand on a level nobody could even think they could have.
Yes. That's right. Yeah. And, the results were better than anyone could have ever predicted, let's put it that way. And so this person so far, this new scientist on board because they created desktop fusion. Yes. And since the people in the world are coming, are coming together in the first time culturally than they've ever had before. All right.
The entire like, future is starting to look like something might be totally different than what we ever experienced. Right? And so the the optimism in the world, the like the world is changing. So I'll tell you what happens next tomorrow. Yeah. And I'm not sure if, if, if we'll give away the ending or not in this. But we'll see.
We'll see. Well maybe for the Patriots right. I mean you know you you could choose to do that or you could serve before you sell. You could give them everything and say if you actually want to read this shit. Yeah. Yeah. So so what do you think? Are you down with the story so far? Yeah, totally. You know what I'm saying, Corey?
You know, Cory Doctorow is. No. Let me end the Casper today. Okay, cool. Good, good good. Shit, man. Thanks. He.
