Episode description

In this episode of Positively Pedestrian, we discuss how technology can extend imagination in a particular domain, but also might stifle the imagination in the macro. We analyze American rightness through might and its various industrial complexes. There is a brief discussion about dominance and submission at different levels of human social structures, and we share a couple of personal stories and even a bad joke - sorry in advance!

Well, you know, if he does go straight when he works, he does not take them. Oh, great. That's good to hear. Yes. So here's something funny for you. It's like Whitey, mighty Whitey, Mick white. You know, such and such on the internet or on the radio. Right. Like talking about something that involves Latin Americans or, you know, whatever you want to Hispanics, however you want to, whatever the proper word is.

Sure. And in the middle of their sentence, for no reason, they say, yes, it's it's well known amongst Latinos that blah, blah, blah. You know, it's like they have to say Latinos. They can't just say, you know, Latinos like an American to throw the accent in there. Yeah, they throw it in only with the word Latinos.

It's like, what? It's like, what are you saying? You have to say, I don't know. Yeah. You know, someone's been to Budapest, and so they say Budapest.

It's like you're not impressing me. What? You're not sounding worldly and cultured. You're sounding exactly like a fucking jackass. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. You know, I, I love, I love garlic bread with my sweaty.

So that. You know how we say that now. Because I hadn't Italian friend, you know, roommate in college. Yes, yes. So now it's mozzarella. It's not mozzarella American anymore. At least that word. One word. Right. And, Like summer. My girlfriend, her fucking neighbor. Here's this guy living with him who's training for UFC. Oh, wow. Yeah. He's Italian.

And so I'm going to be to the ass. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And that's just scary, bro. So the guy is a former, like, champion wrestler. Yeah. And boxer. Now he's learning judo. So I mean, you throw those three skills in, you're going to kill people. Yeah, yeah, I guess so. In style with your accent. Right, right. I'm going to beat the ass.

Okay. Yeah. You hit the me like a wet the noodle.

Well, now that we started with some healthy racism and laughter. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Love it. Gotta get the pedestrian aspect out of the way before you get all serious. Yeah. It's true, it's true. But, yeah, it's just it's funny when you hear, you know, it's funny and then, you know, it's hilarious. And then, you know, they'll say Latinos, but they don't say Los Angeles.

Yeah. In the same sentence, it's like, what the what she said in her, you know. Yeah. If you're gonna, if you're going to do this whole, you know, whatever. Yeah. So last night, I was on the phone with my girlfriend and her son, and I was doing my Duolingo for Spanish stuff. And, I asked some or how to translate some sentence because I couldn't figure it out.

And, I said it out loud, and her son was like, Sean, you sound terrible when you speak Spanish. I'm a southern redneck. Yeah. Trying to speak Spanish? Yeah. Like, how does that come through? Yeah. So I'm sure it comes across like, poor favor. Yeah. You know. Oh, yeah.

I'll do rain. I'm definitely sounding like him.

How? Jesus Christ. It's funny how your language. And then, you know, you you know, you're you're trying so hard to say something like, you know, in the, in the native tongue or whatever. Yep. And, you know, simultaneously just sound like a jackass. And then probably you're saying the wrong word to. Right. So it's like a conversational Spanish class a couple of years ago with one of my colleagues from work.

Both interested in it, and there was this Italian girl who was a she was an open air stateside. Yeah. And to keep her a diesel, she needed to do some continuing education. Sure. Well, one of the things she decided to take was a conversational Spanish class. I see. And, so it was super easy for her. She had never realized how close the romance languages are to each other.

Oh, I see. And, you know, so a lot of times she might use a slightly different word or a slightly different pronunciation. The teacher would just corrector. That's how she learned Spanish. Awesome. And, man, whatever. Whatever it takes to maintain your status in a foreign country as a servant. That's right. And that's really what it is.

But she was a high brow servant. She was well paid. She got to go on vacations with the sir, and I love that. Well, it was kind of like being in the. I know, I know, it's a win win situation. Being in the field versus being in the house. Right. She was in the house? Yeah. Yeah. I, I love that idea.

You know. Oh, it's better than it is in their country. Well, you know, what she said is it wasn't better if she did it for the experience. And she got paid a decent wage. Fair enough. So she's like, I get paid better than I would if I worked at Starbucks. I like kids, and I get to go on vacation with the family and I get to explore America.

They even let her go on vacation or she works for them. And she went for two weeks to Peru. Cool, man. Yeah. So, I mean, you know, I have a lot of reservations towards these, kind of things, but, hey, I'm with you. I think it's kind of ridiculous, but I kind of think it's an interesting thing to give, you know, a 21 year old girl, some experience.

But I agree, it is servitude. It is. Asshole. It is a first world dickish thing. Yeah. So, you know, you can never hire someone in your own country at that wage. So you bring somebody in from a foreign. And, you know, it's like the gift of my my privilege. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can. You can trickle down share.

Yeah. I mean, she was I never was being negative, but no, no, she was living there. And I know exactly what she's getting paid. She's getting paid $19 an hour and living there and eating their food. Yeah. I just see in my mind that's pretty damn good, right? I worked for $19 an hour before. Same man. I didn't get free room board.

Never mind. Then forget it. Take back everything I said.

So mean. It's that kind of stuff. Look, it's what we do. Yeah. And I was like, okay, I do that, and I get two weeks of vacation. Fuck, yeah. Unless it's like, no end to the work shift. Like she's working, you know, pretty for seven. Yeah, but only being recognized first. You know, oddly enough, I didn't ask about that.

I just assumed she worked 24 over seven. Yeah, I figured they brought her on to work 447. That's like a military salary, right? Right. You know, you find out that you're working 24 over seven, you know, but they they couch it to you like, you get paid all the time. Yeah. You're salary is you take it out. It's like the below minimum wage, right.

Like the thing 25 an hour. They give you a cool guard. They do. They give you a cool gun. You get a close up. Good morning. Yeah. Yeah. Of course. The blow stuff up factor. That's. Yeah. Every man's dream. It's a big draw for a lot of people. Every. Every boy that's played Call of Duty stream get to do it for real.

Well, I was in again for. Except for the respawn thing. Right. That joke about waiting at the respawn point? Yeah. To see a fellow soldier reminds a Latino.

So, makes you proud to be an American. Where at least I know I'm free.

It cost a fine. Yeah. Freedom. Got some of you. Get it down to a specific amount, I want it.

Those guys are geniuses. Yeah, absolutely. Jeez. Yeah. There's a half to fucking saint.

I love that. I love that whole Team America idea. Like just this. So blind, you know? Like. Don't worry. Where are your liberators? You know, we're here to help. We're going to fight the terrorists. And they leave this wake of destruction. And where they go behind and people's jobs are just left drop. They have nothing they can even say.

Right. Yeah. Don't worry, y'all, we stopped the terrorist. Yeah. Destroyed the icon. You know the exactly wonder of the world. Yes, you. Surely you destroy all the history in your wake. Right, right. Right, right. And the culture that you're trying to, quote unquote, save, right. The self-righteous attitude of, like, we're doing the right thing no matter what. You know, just like, just like the hypocrisy of the Ukraine thing is, I rage raging all the all the all the pundit and dialog that I've heard so far, like on the radio.

And have you heard about all the companies jumping in and making it worse for Russia? Of course. Apple stopped sales of all devices. Sure. But a righteous company, right? Right. And people got rid of a $14 billion stake in Russian oil. Yeah, it's called the military industrial complex. Right, right. It's big companies get in on the military aspect of it.

Right. But it's kind of interesting that Ukraine is out here requesting some fairly outlandish shit of companies, but they're they're kind of halfway compliant, like they asked YouTube and Google to be platform all of Russia's propaganda channels. Oh, there goes five minute crafts.

Well, they, demonetized RT and a couple of other things. And because of that, RT, USA shut up. Shut its doors. Wow. Now they're moving to a completely new, completely different platform. Removing the rumble. Had you ever been. Have you heard of that? No. It's apparently an alternative to YouTube. Okay. All right. Yeah, there's all kinds of stuff.

Elon Musk, the ever present PR asshole for his company. He says he fired his entire PR department. Did you know that? No, he fired PR and marketing. Okay. Like, how can you even have a company and do that? I don't know. So. Well, apparently. Hire an external PR marquee. Well, he doesn't believe in it. Doesn't believe in PR and marketing.

Hiring someone. Oh, okay. He thinks they're useless. So that's another mark in the. You. One must call him a. What the fuck are you? But he, show shipped over, so, I think it was like. Can't remember his name. His name was better off, but I can't remember his title. Actually, this guy in Ukraine is basically their minister of technology, and, he asked for something for Starlink to be turned on for the Ukraine and to get some Starlink terminals.

I see. Okay, well, Musk did it shipped over like a truckload of older Starlink terminals and turned it on for the country. Well, even in a warrior, he got to have your online porn. I mean, well, absolutely. But I'm saying that's how brilliant stroke. Yeah, you're pouring into propaganda has to be good because they really are too sad to the same coin.

They keep your. Yeah, they keep your publishing. It's each work on a different head. Right. I mean, we're gonna do for head. And the kicker they keep your, the energies of your, populace directed inward rather than out outward where it's hard to control them. Oh, my gosh, it's, it's great that we just hit on something. Now that I see my see my born again and all these hot porn models.

Right? Yeah. And I look at my wife or girlfriend by comparison. Now I'm so fucking angry, I'm gonna shoot a Russian soldier. I mean, it's entirely possible it could work that way. I was just thinking about keeping your population at home, touching themselves. Nothing. Nothing says get through. It is like masturbation. Right? Right. It's like we need to get through this.

Well, you can always turn to your Russian. Oh, shit. You're the Russian foreign. You know what's funny is that when I was in the military, that I never, even, never even thought to do that. Not even one time. No, no, I mean, I didn't I didn't, because, I mean, I'm around so many different stairway from that heavy traffic.

Oh, what? It wasn't that I had plenty of alone time. It was just my mind was on other things. So much so that, like, didn't even dawn on me to to do that. Yeah. That didn't that didn't mean that some people weren't like, doing it like crazy, right? Some people have like this response, I guess. Yeah. You know, think they get more primal?

I never really went on like an anthropological anthropological quest to find out how much my comrades jerked off, but know some of them would, like, make a statement, a proclamation about it. Oh, like like. Oh, I gotta go clean the plates. You know, go to the porta potty with a bottle of lotion, right? It's like he's doing this fucking crazy.

It's a fucking porta potty. That's nasty. Take baby wipes with you. Right, dude, no luck in the well. Hey, buddy. Gump was talking about force. Well, are you one of those people? You lie, you tell stories like through you. Can you make them your own? What? They're like movies. I'm just kidding. But. Oh, yeah. Wait. You really get a ping pong?

No. Okay, so before the movie came out, he had. I'm guessing because he sounds a lot like Gump. Yeah, does. And so it does sound stupid. Even before the movie. And he was stupid. I used to call him the littlest thug. Or the thug that could because he was 19 and hadn't had yet. Oh my God, that's that kid.

Oh, go.

And fucking, So that pissed him off a lot. One time he, Actually, I was so messed up on drugs, he was over there talking to me. We were having a conversation. He was standing in front of me. He put his hairless nutsack on my arm for minutes before I realized it. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Yeah. So, anyway.

Yeah, that sounds like you know what you'd do. Why not? Right, right. Especially if you're digging with gum.

So, Gump was deployed in Afghanistan. What do you think? That your hairy arm would somehow encourages bear balls? Maybe. Maybe he thought it was like, you know, hey, you marinate in that. He get some hair. But I'm not a smart man. But I do have some Harry balls now.

So, you know, next year he shot up like a motherfucking weed. He got hair on his nuts. Oh, Jesus. And, he's like, every six foot tall now. He was like, five, three when they put in there. Mrs.. Right. Well, he wasn't really Army then. He didn't go into the army until, God, he was like 30. So, so, so did the hair in your nut check.

And we're like, sorry, you're gonna have to wait, buddy. I well, no, he was already. He was already. He'd already had purity around 20, 21. Somewhere around there. This family. Apparently his dad had had the same problem. But that's an interesting thing about the military is, like, you'll find probably every genetic variant of human, you know. Oh, yeah.

Amongst you. Oh, yeah. So when he was about 30, he got deployed to Afghanistan. And, he was a crazy motherfucker, as I've just described us. We. Yeah. I've never placed my sack on anybody, so. That's pretty crazy, right? So, one of the things he did, what reminded me you were talking about going. Let me qualify, I do.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have placed my nuts on nuts on people. Just not do. Yeah. I'm this qualified that much? Yes, yes. Because, I mean, I think it's one of the reasons you have them to place them so gingerly upon another person. That's why I think this one of the reasons. Right? Sometimes you have to put your coin purse on the bar, let them know what you're working with.

You know, little jingle jangle to show all the people at the bar you can't afford it around. If you get my drift.

You saddle up to the bar. They didn't have to know that. Three quarters of them were just led.

Oh, damn. As long as when you open it up, they see the ones on top are gold. They'll be convinced the all of them are gold. Yep. You're right, you're right. Way it works. I'm telling you, it's how they. That's how you been an amazing medical fraudster. Yeah, that's how you get. Get by in the medieval tavern called the Boers Head.

Yeah. And, you know, it's also how you get by and, distributing meth, you know, hide it in lettuce. Yeah. I'm produce company. Yep. These bags of brightly colored biker math. Just let us just let us. I mean, da, can't you see the top bushel of lettuce right here? So all of the stuff in this container must then be lettuce, right?

Yeah. Since you're under worked, underpaid, really in the grip of apathy, you're just gonna let you go? Yeah. The silver or lead bargain? Yeah. The person at the border that makes, you know, 35,000 a year, right? Somebody takes them aside, says, you know, in nondescript terms. Would you like silver or lead? And it turns out that you're going to like silver.

You're going to get one of the two. Yeah, right. What was you like? I would have a resounding you.

How's silver? Yeah, that's what I would be doing, if that is indeed my my, you know, range of choices. Yes, yes, yeah. I will pick the one that will jingle in my pocket and I'll leave a hole in my chest. Yes. And of course, for myself and my family, after I get a little bit of silver, I'm taking the, the, the the red line express out of there.

Yeah, yeah. Get enough silver to eat the 35 KS plus the handful of silver isn't quite worth it. Right. So I guess I need to finish this. It's like burning in my soul right now. It's like I'm wondering. Your pocket finished. So got deployed to Afghanistan. You reminded me, because the Polish porta potty story that you told what he did, he.

There was this guy who was in his unit who would wildly proclaim about going to the bathroom. And so Gump one day waited for him in the bathroom with a fucking song on and a gas mask. I see. I'm sorry to see the picture here. As soon as the guy comes in there, he fucking attacks it. Oh my God.

He thought it was an alien or something. Yeah, the guys like screaming and yelling. The porta potties rocking. What the f? And then Gump comes out of there, going jumping around like a fucking crazy ass monkey. Oh my gosh. And the guys still got his pants down and he's screaming. I think whoever lives that one, two, three, three just got a strange awakening.

Just like this dude in the report about it. That was great. Wonderful shared experiences. You know, storytelling is part of the human. Yes, yes. It's, it brought me condition deepens it. Yeah. Those connections. Yes. Not not a not a peaceful story being told by half, you know, with the children all gathered around. I mean, this could be yelling a yelling pornography story or gas masks and songs.

Gas mask and man in the morning. Wait, what? What they're saying to wake up to you and you're sound asleep in your house. It's bonding. Bonding, male bonding or impersonating a sexual raised monkey. A sexual attack? Yeah. During single day? Yes. So. And we wonder why women feel the need to interlace their keys in their fingers when they walk to their girls.

Oh, I don't wonder at all. I applaud them for the forethought. No I don't. It's a that's a whole topic we can get into or. My gosh, yeah, I applaud them for the for thought. I think that that was prudent. I think that you understand how the world works when you interlace your keys and your fingers on the way of the car.

I think that's exactly opposite, but that's me. Well, I think the exact opposite. I think it's absolutely horrifying how women think that men are all predators and oh my God, I don't know a single guy. That's a freaking predator. I mean, okay, I don't know a single person who has done it either, except for I, I have been told they want to, that my girlfriend's friend, Yasmeen, her husband, was arrested for pedophilia.

Okay, sure. You hear these stories of this, and that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about people like assaulting women. Right, right, right. It's a different type of sexual predator. The the extent of it is like, you know, you got her two drunk at the bar, and you woke up and wish that maybe she didn't have that sex the night before.

Right, right. Yeah, that that I think is like where it's at. Not like, you know, slice her Achilles tendon from under her car while she's trying to wrestle with the keys to get in the door, you know, and then when she falls, like, drag her under and, like, rape her. And, I mean, my only daughter Sharon's with it.

So you remember my ex-wife? She was apparently raped by her cousin. And then, Danielle, I guess I. Whatever I do just attracts them. She was gang raped. Okay. Yeah, well, you know, so they say I have no reason to to deny, you know, I'm not going. I am not about to step into the realm of victim shaming or questioning.

What another person tells me. Tells me, happen to them. Yeah, but that's a, you know, a huge play if somebody is being deceitful. Right. It is. But, I was going to change your whole disposition towards them. Like they're going to change your idea. I mean, my wife admitted to me grudgingly because she would act. We're around her cousin.

And so I was like, I just kept digging into that. Okay, so she's still be around her cousin. Okay, that makes sense to me. So she had she would have to be. And really? Yeah. I didn't believe her. And her mom even talked to me about it later. About how she thought she was full of shit, but with the emotional trauma that she would exhibit surrounding it, I kind of believe her.

Okay. Yeah, it's it's up for debate. And, you know. Yeah, you had at the time of bias. It's what I did. You had a you had a reason to believe I did, but I went ahead and beat his ass just for good measure. Oh, okay. I mean, I figured, hell, like, I hope this guy didn't get beat up for no good reason.

Well, okay, he was a dick whole. So there, he earned it. Okay, well, then there that is. Okay. It's a wash, right? So that's what I was thinking. Like, okay, if he did do it, he deserves it. If he didn't do it. He's still an asshole. And so it still deserves it. Okay. Very nice. Yeah. It's funny. I don't ever see you as someone that, like, would be someone's ass and still see you that way.

I get insanely angry. Well, I can see that. I can imagine that. But still, I even with the anger, I can, I can. All right, so when I read sissy some, some form of I used to be really bad, especially when I was with Desiree. I was on like a hair trigger, I wonder why. But before, before her, I did a bunch of illicit and illegal activities, and it had to be felt like I had to be on the.

Fair enough. And, that I would participate in dealing violence occasionally. Fair enough. But, you know, I don't know if I could actually do it now, that's I used to kind of be into fighting and all that stuff until I got my ass. See, times in it kind of gets my ass whipped a few times, too. That changed my idea about it a little bit.

Yeah. I mean, I would only have done it even then. I only did it when I was absolutely forced to do it. But I was a little a little kid growing up, and I got picked on a lot. And I have a big mouth, as we all know, so I'd have to pay for the things that Big Mouth said sometimes.

For me, it was. I was always trying to hang out with bigger kids, like the older kids. Yeah. And you know, a lot of times when you're the rent of the litter, you get picked on. You have to prove yourself, you know, you have to prove your rank. Yeah. Which didn't didn't make it for me. Not scared to get in a fight, you know.

Yeah. So why me? To win most of them. Good. I mean, and that's a lot of it is the confidence of you coming into the fight. And a lot of times you can intimidate your way out of it, or you can throw a couple of good blows and be done. Yeah. The only fight that I actually lost lost was, is I literally got sucker punched on the side, and I had no idea it was coming and was delirious, you know, like it knocked me senseless.

The two biggest fights me out and knocked me loopy. So I never lost the fight as an adult. But as a kid, I lost two big ones. Are determined to get beat up by, you know. Okay, that would be awesome. I tell everyone that story. I was in sixth grade being tall ten.

Funny, I love the word play. So, this kid, I'm an alum, David Howard. Damn, that's not out of him. That name could be any, like, David Howard, red headed kid who lived to get on him. Oh, boy, that narrows it down. All right, so Ginger from Gastonia, soloist ginger from Gastonia, whose parents work at UPS. Damn. Even call out the family.

Yeah. So. Well, this fucker just kept bothering, so, he didn't just bother me. In sixth grade, it continued. Oh, boy. So sixth grade. We ended up getting in a fight. I he talked about my mom and some other dumb shit that pisses you off when you're at sixth grade. Yes, sir. Yeah. You have to feign, like, true anger, you know?

So you're. You're talking about my mom. I got mad, I broke a couple of pencils to, I guess, build my anger up, I don't know. And then as soon as the teacher leaves, remove the desk out of the way to create a fighting reel. That's beautiful. I love it and symbolized right this fucker straight out the gate didn't even give me a chance other than some shit talking, he growled.

House kicked me to the face. Roundhouse I swear to God. Who who is the roundhouse? I would not believe it unless it happened to me. I ended up on the ground a couple of feet away from where I was seconds before. That's like something that doesn't ever really happen. But he did. I was like, I, I can't even believe it.

Like my jaw was hurting and I'm in a crumpled heap on the ground. Oh my God, what the fuck? Oh my gosh. I'm at the very confused 11 year old. I'm always on your side, but not right now. Like, I love this guy who knows the roundhouse. And so I have to respect that too. So I knew at that point I had lost the physical war and had to win the Social War.

Gotcha. Right. So it was all about so we get the desk back together and everything's cool. Before the teacher comes back, she sees my face is red. Oh my God. She's like, what'd you do, Sean? Because I roundhouse myself. Bam! I was like, We'll talk about it later. Wow. Doorknob. So she never asked me again? Sure. My sixth grade teacher really didn't like you that much.

She was okay with me getting my ass beat. She heard the quick rumor mill came quickly that you were roundhouse, and she said that was awesome, right? Like, fuck, I wish I was there. I haven't seen a roundhouse in real life. I, I haven't since.

But, I mean, the only other time I had seen it was Double Dragon, Double Dragon two on it and it fucking ness that dude might have actually like ahead of time as the desk for being brought out. He's like, I'm going to roundhouse. He had you playing that right?

This fucking insane. So I'm I'm like you, man, I wouldn't even mind. Are we even mind telling the story? The tale of when I was roundhouse. Yeah. Wouldn't really hurt me. So anyway, I went ahead and mounted a social campaign against him. It worked. And he had to leave school. Oh my God, he did not come back to school and did homeschool until.

God, what was it, the second half of her? No, no, it was 10th grade. Came back 10th grade. Oh my goodness. And, he proceeds to immediately begin to try to steal my girlfriend. Oh my goodness. So weighing over the years, you. Perfect. You're out of house, right? That's. No, no, not at all. I was I was hoping no, it's not a roundhouse battle.

What would I instead have done over the years? Doing fucked up shit. People are not getting caught. Okay, so. Oh, that was your psychological downstream consequences. Yeah, from the roundhouse. The resounding roundhouse at, like the play out in your in your nightmares every night. You know, I never really thought about it until I saw him again. And then it just came rushing back.

That's how your dreams. It comes like in a barrage that hits you five times in a row. It's fucking awesome. He just keeps writing housing. Like we knew you moved out of his parents house and into an apartment in Ashland Village, and I went ahead and, he just he keeps persistently trying to warm his way into my group and trying to take my girlfriend said, oh, my gosh, I, we just read The Casket and Monty Otto by a girl.

And my gosh. So this gave me I wasn't very creative. I lifted the idea completely from the story. Let me break this guy up in his apartment. I said, no way. So me and my friends, over a period of. I guess it was maybe a little over a month. We're still in paving stones from like two different lows.

No way. And because they would leave them outside so we would steal a couple a day. Well, then I basically practiced with a few of them to make sure I could lock them together with some mortar. And what? I locked them into his fucking. So his apartment, you go out and there's like a rally on the right hand side, like this wooden round.

Okay. And, so I basically went out there one night, built this thing just outside of his door that locked into the railing with the stones. What the hell? And so he comes up the next day to go to school. Roundhouse your way out of that motherfucker. Yeah, that would have been awesome if I said that. I didn't say that.

I didn't show I wasn't there, but my friend J.R. Who was friends with him, told me that he had to call the fire department to get his ass out. No way. Isn't there like, you know, every isn't it like a zoning, like kind of everyone in the country that every, every room has to have dual egress? Something like he had no way out.

You know, a lot of apartments only had one door in and out. Holy crap. You're like, close to psychopath. Because if he had struck a match at the same time, that would have completed your psychopath. You know, I was like, Holy shit, dude, right? That is. And getting friends in on it. Oh my goodness. Right, right. I mean, I'd say it was definitely fucked up.

Well no, I mean that's that's how leader in the making. So like let's talk about leadership skills. Holy shit. You got people perpetuating crimes because they hate this guy so much. They had a shared hatred. But like, so why didn't you just gang on him and say, you know, your time's up, buddy, you know? So kind of like, bring him in.

Like we're afraid of the roundhouse. I think the reason, I think the reason we didn't do it is we were more comfortable playing in the psychological realm than the physical at that point. Oh my gosh. And so remind me never across the user. Oh, that's not the only thing I did to him. My goodness. All right. Let's qualify.

This guy is still alive right? Yeah. Okay. Maybe there's some of emotional scars, but there's a lot of some emotional scars. What? I mean you to get out. Does he know to this day who bricked him in? I think you had a great idea. Oh, our podcast is revealing too much, and so it might come back. I might have to face David Howard with his roundhouse you're going to be leaving for.

It'll be a pot bellied roundhouse. He'll come out, but somehow they still has come out of his balding. He's got the ginger beard. Oh, it's even worse because now he's fat and he still, still could do it. Oh, I bet he can. It's gonna be like Will's. That motherfucking hits your chest. Cobra Kai! Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's gonna be like that Cobra Kai guy.

So the the roundhouse, like, can only hit you in the chest now. Oh, it's still gonna hurt me, but that's what I'm saying. But even though I hit you the chest, it still takes you out. Oh, it's going to. We're still, like, makes insult to injury even worse. I can just see it, though. I could just see the wispy little hairs on the top of his head blowing in the wind and.

And his fucking big ass beer belly. He fell just loudly throws the beer to the ground, crushes the. Yeah, that's right. He he he bends his legs a little more so he can use the guts upward momentum to help him get in the air with the roundhouse. Yeah. He's got this, like, sumo stance. Yeah, yeah yeah yeah. He has to like, get the momentum and then ride the bag of fat up.

It's like a tornado. A fucking fat redneck. Yeah, it's. And since he, since he's got the horizontal momentum, the vertical, the the I mean the vertical momentum, the horizontal momentum is easier like if that. So he's like yeah his muscles are still enough to get the roundhouse. Oh it's it. And it hits you in the chest with that hard sold boot.

Oh yeah I got because he's got the redneck work boot. Yeah it probably works at UPS like appearance did. Yeah. It's so it it catches you just right and like knocks the one that you and knock you down. Oh that'd be amazing. I kind of want this to happen now. And you're like, loopy, half unconscious. And he stands over and he does that thing with a spit where he like, what's it lets it make a light out of it.

Sucks it back in the light and sucks at this point. As soon as I get my breath, I'm going to be laughing maniacally because I deserve it.

Like I never done that. No, no, I'm going to be laughing because I've earned everything that's happened. Done. Yes. It's like if I survive this, I go on the podcast.

I can't wait to tell Christopher. It's like, Chris, I'm missing 17 and my fucking chest is on fire. But listen, come over with the recorder. We have to do a podcast right now. All this is fresh. Yeah, the horror of it is still playing food in my brain. And afterwards we're going to go Home Depot and buy some bricks.

Yeah, we're not gonna steal on the side. We're more sophisticated. So, you get fucking around. So, yes, one of the things that the new champion. Oh, damn, that is Girty. I'm playing Girty and Green. Dude, that dong is so big, it's got graffiti on it and it doesn't care.

So, Which, of course, reminds me of a joke, which I'll tell him. Go ahead and tell it. Okay? The surfer is like, this guy he married to Mary named Wendy, and he wants to do something unique for their honeymoon. They're going down to Jamaica. So as a surprise, he sneaks off to the tattoo artist that says, I want Wendy tattooed on my my dick.

Right. And so, he's like, you sure? You know, a lot of times when people get the names of someone else on them, you know, it tends to hinder their relationship. It's like, no, no, no, no, they're not. In this case, that's impossible. Right? She's she's the one of my dreams. I'm the man of hers. Bola, let's cut to the right here soon.

Away from all these trucks. Sorry, sorry. Okay, so, Wendy, the woman of Ukraine's tattooed on your door, on your cup. So he goes, all right, whip it out. So the guy whips it out and he's like, there's no way, no matter what font I use, Wendy's gonna fit on that thing, right? He's like, no, no, I'm one of those guys.

You know, when I get around on a show. Her. Yeah, yeah. So he's like, okay, well, you have to do something to, you know, otherwise you have to do something to get it there because otherwise ain't fitting on there. So he's like, all right, all right, go to the bathroom. He thinks about Wendy and all the good morning and all the good things that, you know, he already does.

Yeah. Or to come on this beautiful honeymoon and his fantasies about how awesome she's going to feel when she sees her name here. And, so he gets like a semi, goes back out there, says Guy, you know, can you sit it on their real quick? I think I was like, yeah, I think I can. You're right. You know, you did.

You did have some growth there. That's good stuff. So really quickly Wendy. All right. Well of course he goes like turtle hiding in the shell soft. Right. And all you see is w and y on his on his way. Right. And, he's like, that's a little weird, but she'll get it once, you know, when, when we're, we're, we're, we're in a in the throes of our passion.

Yeah. We're in the throes of her passion. She'll see her name. And this is just make everything great, you know? Didn't even hurt. You know, it's pretty good. I'm good off, all right? Didn't have to stay off the dick for a while or anything. Yeah, exactly. Healed up quick so his fantasies work out perfectly. They go down to Jamaica, we get in the hotel room, sort of make it out.

He gets where he needs to be. She looks down. She is absolutely stunning that he'd do something so outrageous just for her and makes it even better. Right? And somehow, like, this pain pleasure thing working for him. I mean, it's his workout. Yeah. There we go. His dreams had become true as far as, like, this whole scheme. Fucking love it.

So he's like, you know what? One day I really want to. I'm so proud of you and so proud of our marriage and what we're building here. He's like, I want to go to a nude beach and I want to walk down and I want to show everybody. Yep, yep. And, she's like, I've always wanted to do that.

Right? So they go there and they go to the new beach. It's something I've never wanted to do, right? So they're showing down and he looks down and he just sees W and why. He's like, oh shit. Yeah. Like you know babe you know do something. Can you help me out here a little bit. Yeah. So she does.

And you know Wendy's on display again. All right. And and so of course the natural thing happens. It shrinks again. And he's like, no, if you just forget it, let it be what it's going to be. Barry, this big, huge Jamaican surfer comes out of the water swinging dick, big swinging dick, but his only has w y on it as well.

Right. And and the guy goes right up. He's like, what are the what the what are the odds? This is incredible. Like, there's no way there's no ballsy dude to go talk to somebody at full mass. Yeah, yeah. No, no. He is what w and why is the other guy right. Yeah. All right, all right. And and and the, the big Jamaican is like, what are you talking about, Ma?

You know, I don't. I was pretty sure. Yeah. That one. There you go. You know, he goes my my wife Wendy Wendy. He's like, what's this? You know, messing with himself a little bit. Yeah. Gets a little, gets a semi going says Wendy. Wendy. Right. The surfer turns around, he's laughing, he's messing with him. So he turns back around and says, Welcome to Jamaica.

Have a nice day.

Oh everyone, I hope you enjoyed the racist stereotypes, I certainly did. It was wonderful. What a stereotype. Place to a certain groups advantage. Is it really right okay. Yeah I'd love to be you know go ahead and spirit type. Be a thing way too smart for right and good as an Asian person and say the guy was white and I didn't say the Jamaican was black.

You're the reason this motherfucker you did not. I'm like my own personal biases. There you go. Here it is. So ultimately, though, yeah, I mean, I have nothing to negative stereotypes about me, and the joke just have been funny. I'm a poor white redneck. I mean, let's think about all the stereotypes surrounding that. I should be a beer swelling moron who can barely put two syllables together, you know, especially after all them roundhouse to their face.

Then I only took one. I can only imagine it'd be like fucking Muhammad Ali right now. I'm glad he gave up, right? I'm glad he was stones to. It was like after he kicked me in the face and I ended up across the room, we kind of just ended the fight. Yeah, this is so funny. Defensive. Like there's a different person.

We have a difference in personality here, right? So like for me, when I got Sucker Punch by that guy, I plot it like, not socially. I plotted like, you know, in my mind first I was like, if I ever get the chance to to have this guy alone, I'm going to be his ass, right? Yeah. Like so, I had visualized it in my mind that one time when I had this one opportunity.

Right. Because I'm going to get it. There's going to be a chance we have enough. You know, crossing to the cross each other's paths. Enough to where I'm going to get an opportunity to. It's got to be ready. That's right. So maximize your opportunity side. Visualize it over and over in my mind, beating his ass and looking him in the eye.

Exactly what you were going to do. Sucker punch me, motherfucker. And sure enough, one day in the dorm, I'm walking down the stairs and he's walking up the stairs. It's like 1130 at night. Nice night. Gun upstairs to hang out with my friend. Bill wasn't thinking anything about this guy, all right, Bill, I wasn't thinking anything about the what happened or the rivalry.

But as soon as I saw him coming up the stairs, you were ready. My visualization had paid off, and I beat him in the stairwell like he would not believe. That's fucking great. I mean, really, I think it was a moment of.

Introspection on my part. I knew that I wasn't going to be able to beat this kid, so I had to pivot to the thing where I thought I possibly could be. You knew you could beat this kid? No, not really though. That was the thing is that but I, I was going to try, you know, I respect it.

And even if he beat my ass, you were going to go down. He was going. He was going to get hurt. Yeah, exactly. I've been in those kind of fights. Definitely. And when it turned out, it turned out as is that he was completely coward. That's gorilla. And so when I started beating him, he hardly fought back. He just tried to defend himself.

But. Yeah, but he was, you know, he's great at second, motherfucker. Sucker punches people is definitely a cowardly piece. Yeah, he was great at sucker punching. But when it came to, like, fighting one on one, he had didn't know what to do. So he got that crap kicked out of his ass. Yeah, he did. And did he come correct next time.

Oh yeah. He he wouldn't, he would. Every time it was like the it was like the classic, you know, dominant submission type thing because every time I looked at him from that point forward, he'd look down to the ground. Oh two and don't forget, this is after weeks of talking shit afterwards from the original incident, because I had to go get stitches in my mouth because he punched me in the side of the face and my cheek rubbed against my teeth.

Oh, and last read the inside of my mouth. Yeah, dude. So I had to go and, literally to the hospital and get sutures, you know, and, you know, so he's like, yeah, you know, I'm going to put you in the hospital again and talking shit like this. And my rage was like, you wouldn't believe it. Oh, I bet I was like, amongst the some of the high, high level rage that I've had in my life.

I mean, understandable, I'm glad. Glad it was a moment of triumph for you and a moment of you need to come down and respect people for him. And then there was that, other moment that doesn't belong on recording where like my turn off the recording and. No, it's okay. It's, I'll show a story some other point in the future.

But the idea was like, I listen to the point where I was, like, literally ready to murder somebody. Damn. And, you know, I'm glad that never happened, right? Yeah. I've never been that mad, but I've been close. There's a certain level of anger that you can possess that, like, lets the gin come out. Oh, yeah. And it's like, it's it's part of our human nature.

Oh, yeah. It's where if someone is under enough to rest, they could literally turn into a monster. Oh, yeah. I mean, we aren't. Most people aren't that far from it, you know? Yeah. You put people under enough stress and under enough to rest and make it seem like they have no other option. Literally, a monster can come out.

Yeah. I mean, I mean, it comes down to that's a survival instinct, right? Yeah. In modern civilization, there shouldn't be a method by which that's possible. But, you know, we're still we're still not there yet. Well, I mean, how do you prevent that? You have to prevent the kind of things we talked about. The infighting, the intimidation. Yeah.

There's there's there's something to be said for a a domain of dominance submission throughout, you know, the hierarchy of mankind, there's still hierarchies of all types. Some are more sophisticated than others. Right, right. We've moved up the chain of abstraction. We've moved up the chain of civility. Yeah, but these things are still here. Just. They've, Here we go, here we go.

Let's think about it as a ladder of meadow. So we are we are moving farther and farther up the metal ladder. But the same problem still exists there. Just the environment in which they created is shapes. Sure. Oh, gosh. So the guy could be like the morning. So the guy could be basically like the chess champion or the best that's throwing darts in the world.

Right. And but the mechanic is almost the same. Yeah. That in that domain, like they're the king, you know, they're the, the dominant species in that domain. Yeah. You know, so it's not hunting game anymore. It's not, you know, fearing direct resources for your family, but it's paying the best in Japan. And sushi. Yeah. There you go. Yeah, yeah.

And so I guess you could have like, that subdominant submission, but it still doesn't have that same primal like, you know on the alpha will mate all these you know, much of the time there isn't a direct consequence. There isn't a direct dominant alpha thing. So we get it out of our system though through these subsystems. Right. Yeah.

And then you can have this like person like let's say in office politics, they're higher up on the org chart than you. Right? Right. And then in that domain you know, there person you have to report to you. You're responsible to do what they say. I like you a little bit a lot.

Right okay. Sure. And so what I'm saying here is that in a different domain, let's say you no longer work there and you see this person on another level, right? All that can just wash away, you know, because you no longer are voluntarily in that structure. Now, in this other domain, you're by far the alpha, you know. Sure.

You change.

I don't know, I guess you've changed the context. Yeah. The context. Exactly. And then you could have this alpha situation where in some context due to the alpha here, but in this situation you're the other person is the alpha. Yeah. So that's, that's pretty actually elegant and sophisticated. It's not necessarily just unbridled competition. Right. It's boxed. Yeah. Yeah yeah.

There's some boundaries and controls around it. Yeah. And you can actually like like learn to enjoy that, that reality. Not necessarily like see it all as negatives. Right. And you know, if you're a big enough person you can learn to like Somers neighbor. He was dominant in judo and UFC. Right. The guys like a multiple world time champion of judo.

But he took those skills and he said, okay, but I want to teach other people to dominate. That's cool. You know? Yeah. But you know, the whole thing with the champion I mean, champions not can't stay. You know, it's always, always gets, you know, deferred. Yeah. You will be unseated. And if you have any sort of understanding of those things, you, you know, your your time is short.

Yep. And to preserve the legacy, what you must do is teach broadcast. And then when you're when you are the king, you need to be careful too, because there's other ways to dethrone a king. Right. Like Game of Thrones, Typekit and human terms. But in animal terms, maybe the two medium sized silverbacks come to play, right? And say no.

You know what we're tired of? Yeah. And Terra big Alpha to shreds. And that can happen. Or like we said earlier with, a guy from sixth grade, the, the Social Game. It's funny, though, that the level of competition is still there because you seem to have a glimmer in your eye when you talked about the beer belly and the ball banking.

I mean, okay, the only thing I don't have against that guy, I got the beer belly. Are you still had the full balding, so it'd be like bumping beer bellies. Awesome, awesome. As long as just some grunting involvement. Yeah. I mean, dude, I think the whole thing would be absolutely hilarious. I'd be willing to take a couple of roundhouse kicks in the face.

Bet Spurs it went. That's great. It's funny because this whole competition thing, when you end up like, I guess at a certain level of sophistication, maturity, I think it starts to I think that starts to wane. Yeah. You know, like, you know, maybe 20 years ago if we were having some kind of like, if you and I were in some kind of, you know,

Either real or imagined competition with each other, I could be jealous or, you know, whatever. All the emotions that come in with, with, like, having a rival in some subdomain. But now I would just be happy for you, right? You know, not because our friendship is mature, but because I am. And also, I think there's elements of there are still friendships that I have that aren't, aren't mature.

But I see, I see so so so you even have different domains yourself. Yeah. So I feel like, you know, it is the confluence of the maturity of all of our interaction as well as the maturity of yourself. And, you know, I don't know if one could describe me as mature, but, you know, there's that. And yeah. So I mean, I think it's all, yeah, you become more confident in yourself.

That's really it. Yeah. Part of it. And, and you don't feel like you have to strut around to beat your chest. I don't feel like that. Ever. That's what I'm saying. You or very rarely. Yeah. And and at some point in our lives, we felt like we had to. I mean, everybody kind of does. I would imagine you've done that less often than the rank and file, because it seems like you tend more toward this.

The report, which is good. Admirable. Yeah. But there's a degree in that, in that domain to where like he set out to destroy somebody. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. I mean, I've done it multiple times, like I was in that one class and the kid just made a fatal mistake. He said, I just agree with everything you just said.

Oh. Oh. And so when I heard that he was sitting behind me, and when I, when I heard that, I literally turned in my seat to look at who would say such a thing, like, you see this? Do you see this smart ass, or do you see this sycophancy? What do you see? I see, like sat video game addicts that has no worldly experience at all.

And it's about to be destroyed for their insolence. You dare to be on my level? Is that what you're saying? Yeah, like they've told you. This summer's ex-husband is a big there. Now, after getting fired from the blue e-cig e-cig company. Wait. What for? Yeah, they're like, they're right there. Yeah. Oh, how strange. He would like four minutes from me.

Oh, no. Shit. Yeah. Why do you have to have a videographer for a tattoo parlor? I'm guessing because of the, like. Like a YouTube channel. I. They do close videos to social media. No shit. Okay.

Morning. They fell off their work and they show off their, I guess the the task. Yeah. The variety of skill, man. Let's see. Alrighty then. Yeah. So, so like, if I had to guess, you know, like, say, hey, my girlfriend's X is doing this for work. I don't think I'd ever come up with a victory for for a tattoo shop.

Right, right, right, right. Fill in the blank here. Yeah. I mean, it's almost like you. You did this, like, random word generator. And so that's what came out. That's so funny that that would have had more of a chance of getting that guessing that than I would have. Yeah, you're right, you're right. I mean, it's a weird thing.

And that's kind of, I guess why I mentioned it. I thought it was pretty weird, too. He filmed the first one just with an iPhone. They gave him like 50 bucks because they were filming back, because he got fired. And then it was good. And I got a bunch of views, and so they bought like $3,000 for him and they're sending it into classes.

Very nice. So what do you think about this idea? Like a very low cost IoT thing that's got a small Bluetooth chip in it, right? So it can sink to your phone. And what it does is it just continuously collects air quality data. Okay. So like it's, you know, it's it clicks on your bill or like, you know, where as a pendant or something, right?

Yeah. And it's constantly, what we're doing, this is like another sense basically, since it's clipped to your belt, you can always know the quality of the air in which you are. Yeah. And so the smartphone app would give you a little like meter, right? Like, you know, it's measuring the amount of droplets in the air and the amount of dust, let's say, you know, just general air quality measurement.

And let's say you use the feedback to say, oh, well, I shouldn't walk it 7 a.m. because of all the smog in the air from the cars. Well, that could definitely be one you use for it. But I was thinking like more about indoor air quality when it comes to your coronavirus.

You see what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. And so not only does it give you personal data in real time about what the air quality is around you, but it also sends continuously to the cloud. And so you can do like a, a a mass effect. Right. Collect data samples from millions of data points. Yeah. And create an overlay heat map of air quality in different areas so we can be a citizen.

Very good. Yes. And so what this can do is like, you know, you would know your local church when you're in service, that. Oh my gosh, this is a red zone right now for transmission. And so maybe I should throw my mask on you know. And then also the church self would get this would have access to the data everybody.

It's open data right. So motherfucker. What happened. The doctor thinks he might have fucking mono. It's a good thing I don't make out with him. But still, I don't need to be nerd. Don't ask.

Funny fucking hassle. Maybe sharing that doobie with that chick was like kissing her, right? I mean, I'm sure. Well, they shared a ball. Well. Same idea. Yeah. You're both. You're both flipping that thing pretty hard. Yeah. So he should probably get. Tell her ass. Oh, I'm gonna tell her, like, you know that bearded, crazy fucker you had a fucking bong grip with?

He's got mono.

Oh, geez. Do checked out. Maybe there's some advantages that I have in life by not doing these drugs. And, I don't know, maybe. I mean, I, I don't maybe because I've become, I've realized that my roommate has given me Covid twice and there's a plague can't keep. I don't really share anything with him. It's hilarious. So. So let's say you had this personal sensor, right?

You just check your smartphone at any time you want, we'll open up the app and it'll give you your meter and what your quality is right now. Right. So and then your Covid risk or or borne disease transmission okay. All right. I guess I'm wondering. All right. We can get an air quality sensor. But the air quality sensor won't necessarily.

It'll tell you about potential for air flow. But as far as transmission as far as I know. So like Covid is transmitted in other airborne diseases are transmitted on droplets in the air. Right. Quality sensor isn't going to detect Covid droplets now, but you can probably pretty easy detect the quantity or concentration of droplets in the air. Possibly so.

Right. And then on top of that, general sensing of like, you know, the particulate amount of particulars in the air. I think that we could easily determine particulates in the air, like like, that's the way a, a fire, a fire. Yeah. Smoke alarm. Smoke alarm works. Right? Particulate detection. Right, right. And so the technology is, you know, been well established.

Right? Right. But let's particular detection, let's say for argument's sake, it's got a droplet sensor as well. Right. So like it can tell the approximate concentration of human fucking slime particles in the end, you know, to general sense. Right enough to give you like a meter from, from, you know, to, from green to amber to ribs, I think.

Yeah. That's okay. Cool. And, that data is in shared in real time with, you know, the community at large. Yeah. This way. And, you know, maybe you can partner with a, all these different municipalities and countries that come up with these actual Covid connection. Maybe you can partner with one of them. So you can imagine a million people wearing this little, little sensor.

Right. And if all the data scrubbed, it's all anonymous. Sure. That gets reported up. But then what you start to do is have like a Google Maps heat map of all the indoor air quality around your data. And so, like the coffee shop we just walked into, we could say, oh, wait a minute, we might have want to go in there today.

Or if we are, we'd better mask and just take our coffee. I don't give you some anecdote. An anecdote, a story about that. My friend Theresa, her now boyfriend Scott. Mike. She's gotten Covid twice from going to the same coffee shop. Well, there you go. So he was armed with this data that never would have happened. And then see, the added advantage is that, you know, you're not necessarily shaming or calling out the coffee shop, but what you can do is the coffee shop can access that information as well.

You see, and realize they're an epicenter. Yeah. And say, wait a minute. Let's let's update our our HVAC. Yeah. Yeah. Let's. And so in so that we're not the read on the map. You really okay. So they have a C and have maybe having better filters. So sub micron filters or something. Yeah. But then do you think the the UV light thing works at all.

Sure. Surely it does. But if you take the total amount of droplets, you know, particularly some droplets out of the air, you're going to do a huge service to people, you know, I mean, it works in airplanes. There you go. You know it. And so they don't say I mean, so you get where I'm going with that.

So, you know, with a very low cost solution, I think that you can it's also boring my projects. So nice. And part of my project is I have to interview people and get their opinion about it. Okay. Well, in general, I agree with it. I think there may be some technical hurdles as far as droplet detection, but I think air quality and airflow, you can definitely do pretty easy in an ion device.

So why would there be difficulties in droplet text? I don't know of a sensor that I know would easily map to that I don't know. Okay, so you have regular like, moisture in the air. You know, obviously that's just a human, you know, the relative humidity detection. Okay. And then what you have is you just do it even with a light sensor because, you know, droplets bend light.

Okay. So with with just a simple light sensor, I think you can pull it off. Okay. You know, to, to kind of get a general idea at least on, on how many you know. So you have something like a digital barometer in this thing it's going to give you. Yeah. But you don't really need to measure the humidity.

You just need to measure the certain size droplets in the air. Right. Okay. Because like, regular, water vapor dissolves in the air, you know, is just a it wouldn't it's it's dissolved. Right. So it wouldn't be detectable. It wouldn't change the spectrum of the reader, but a but a droplet, you know, that's come from a few some light.

Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure like engineers have figured that part out. Yeah, yeah. Or could figure that part out. Right, right. This this is probably a small problem in some form. And you'd have to adapt it to your device. Right. And and the masks of course, lower the amount of droplets in the air. Right. Like when, if you're in an environment where no one is masked, you're going to have a hell of a lot more droplets in the air.

I mean, you know, you know, they've they've got these models. Where you can even go online and put some data like, all right, I'll be in a place for three hours with one window open that is this size, with this many people. This many people are masked. This many people aren't. Yep. And they'll tell you what your risk of getting Covid and that space is.

There you go. So I'm looking at just automate that and make the data publicly available. So maybe pull from GIS the the square footage of a place. Oh I think just use Google Maps. You should do the maps okay. And you're not making any money off it. It's just public public data. Right. And you're giving people your best get.

Right, right. You're like, okay, from Google Maps, we can tell you're in a 2000 square foot space roughly, you know. Sure. Yeah. Or or just put, like, circles on the map, each of each reading from the, each device. So therefore, you wouldn't even have to just over paint the map based on the current location. Yeah. Don't even worry about the map underlying map.

Just be the underlying map. Yeah, that's how I would do it. Yeah. Just just to get started. Yeah. You wouldn't need to get that fine grained really. Right. Yeah. And then you could just pull historic data to and change the opacity of the, of the dot based on its age. So more, more recent data is more opaque. And I mean, it was clever.

Said it, it would be nice. Yeah. It would be nice if you could overlay it with say.

Some of that data. There are none of my Covid transmission data from one of those other apps. There you go and say, you know, and do the same thing with the dot. Hey, six months ago, eight months ago, this color, because the Covid hasn't been caught here or transmitted here for this long. Whatever. Yeah, sure. Whatever data source can get your hands on.

Yeah, but the kind of like, personal monitoring of real time for yourself, you know, is pretty valuable. It is, you know, it'll give you a a go. I want to mask up here, give you a sixth sense and steep, you know, augment you. Yeah. We wouldn't make crazy decisions, like, not wear our mask inside the coffee shop, but where as we're walking down the street and the wind is blowing.

I just had it on. No, and I had my jacket. I'm holding my jacket, so there's no convenient place to put it. I know, I know, my pants are falling off my ass. I was like, fucking with you. Let me keep it on my face. And apparently it's killing me because I can't breathe.

Well, I'm sitting here.

Are you agree? I disagree, I don't agree.

Yep. Too funny. So? So part of the conversation here today I wanted to have was this idea of like the bottleneck of imagination. Right? So okay, think about this. Imagine a point in history where there were no cities, right? There were civilizations. Yeah, but there were, you know, not huge concentrations of people with concentrated infrastructure. Yeah, not billions of people on the planet, not massive cities creating more semi-nomadic societies.

I love that idea. Yeah, it's something like that. And, you know, take this into consideration. These clerics, right. Going to the top of a Mayan temple and the top of the temple is like flattened. Oh, right. So it's like a mini plateau up there, a plane. Go, man. And, these clerics are gathering around in the night, in the twilight hours.

And, you have survey equipment. So. Cool. Yeah, right. And so these clerics are up on top of the mountain, and the water bearers are coming up, and they're filling this carved out basin on top of this pyramid. They're filling it with water. Yeah. Right. And what they're creating in the process is a reflecting pool okay. And they're using this reflecting pool to gaze down at the stars.

Yeah. So the clerics are standing around the reflection pool and going into set marks that are carved into the stone. So where they put different sticks in those, in those slots, and they look through holes in the sticks at particular stars to chart them off the reflection pool. Okay, okay. And when they look up in the sky, they, they look up or even see in the reflection pool, they look up and they can see the entire Milky Way, right?

Right. They can see billions of stars with the naked eye because there's no light pollution from modern cities. Why? And so which I mean also explains why we had incredibly good astronomy for the level of technology we had. Correct. And so you can imagine this setup and these clerics charting the stars and using that as part of their religion that they're going to then bestow on the people not only to maintain control, but to give guidance.

Well, yeah. And I think, I think we were talking about the benevolent side of the coin that religion begins with, which is generally guidance, explanation and understanding. Sure. Right. And so, so not only the clerics, but they might as well be the top scientists of the time is right. And, you know. Okay. And that's by generally a cleric is given arms or sacrifices, things to support themselves.

Right. And thereby they have the time to think. Yeah. So you can picture this water bearing servant coming up there and emptying into seeing what the people are doing. And it would seem like magic almost. Right, right. Like charting the stars and discussing the heavens and all this. Right. So, you can imagine puts on top of the temple, so you have the that physical, you know, monument damage smells good.

Those. So you have all these things tied together, right. And, you know, you can imagine the imagination of those people being so stimulated. Yeah. You know, by this. Right. Well, this is something that can't be done today because we have the technology of modern civilization. Cities are all lit up and light pollution is cumulative, right? You know, like the photons enter the atmosphere and they cloud.

There's actually websites that help you find the darkest places to go. View the sky. Yeah, but still the the atmosphere itself is aglow with. All right. Yeah. Not only that. Satellites, they are satellites to cause greater glare the other way. There you go. And so this is like one example of many I can provide where technology actually stifles the imagination.

Right? Right. Like we've been deprived with just a natural ability to just look in the sky and be it all. Yeah. You know, because of our modern, you know, brilliance, right? No pun intended. And so, yeah, many, many examples like that. But I just wanted to introduce this idea of, like, the stifling of the imagination based on bottleneck, a person's creativity.

Right. So like gamers that all they want to do is game and all they talk about is game. They have great minds and imaginations when it comes to gaming, right? But that doesn't necessarily easily and well translate to other areas of their life. It doesn't. And we talked about that before about how we may repeat ourselves in these.

Well, maybe not. I'm just trying to tie into things that we said in that this younger generation does have great facility in these certain ways, but then whenever they're taken out of their element, out of the video games, out of this or that, it's hard for them to have that same creativity and passion. Yeah. So that's what I'm saying, is that perhaps even though the imagination is heightened within a certain domain, it's stifled overall because it's limited that domain.

Yeah. Some extent. Yeah. And so that just might just be a microcosm of a greater idea that the modern technological world, even though it has so much to offer, it might actually be bottleneck. It's these little intellectual five drums, these, these, these places where, you know, thought and experience is cordoned off. There you go. That's exactly what I'm saying.

Yes, I like the terminology. Yes, exactly. And so, being aware of that, we might be able to start chasing some broader experiences in the last year. Just saying. Yeah. And I think that. All right. Crazy. But it's similar to, you know, like those those experiences where they what is it. There's like these groups can join that helps young people go out and have IT ventures and do things right.

Sure. Beyond the scape rooms. Yeah, yeah, beyond escape rooms. Maybe you should call it that. Escape the escape room of modern living. Yeah, maybe you should call it that. Something like that. But I want to set this for today, I think. I think maybe you got to do something like that, you know, maybe help broaden people's experience.

Okay? You've got your experience in the technology realm. What else do you do? I don't know. Yeah. And first step is broaden it for myself. Yeah. Well yeah. Since I says I have recognition you have to take that knowledge and translate it into applicable right ability. Right. Don't assume you're the king of the mountain. Apply the same to yourself.
