Full Transcription
Thank you. Thank you. Damn, boy.
That's an interesting glitch.
I saw a really interesting glitch.
Because, you know, sometimes the
post will not send.
And that happened. I was able to unfuck it, though.
So that's interesting
so i learned something new in that regard daniel i haven't seen you in a oh danielle i guess i
haven't seen you in a long time what's up man my brain's been fucking glitching i've been running
14 cloud instances on my mac and somehow they keep running even when i turn my goddamn computer off
because it keeps going in my mind i I think that the position of an average engineer
is just incredibly stressful right now
for a lot of reasons,
but man, how have you been?
It's been a while.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, lots of weird things have been happening,
that's for sure.
Pretty sure you've seen the whole cloud bot thing as well.
You know, like the basic AI botnets
that everyone's
having like a freak out about it's really funny back in my day i um i actually talked to pete
uh because i was doing like these events he was doing these events called cloud code anonymous and
i was like dude that looks really cool it's happening in vienna let me do some in toronto
so i hit him up and he connected me with a guy who worked at Shopify to organize them and back then he was still talking about something called Claude's Claude plus Tardis
makes Claude's that you guys think it got renamed three times it didn't get renamed three times it
got renamed closer to six times um but like Molt what was it called it wasn't called OpenClaw then
it was called the MoltBook then it was called oh yeahude with a W. Claude with a W was actually the third name.
It was called like two other things before that.
But yeah, I've been seeing a lot of that
and I've actually been thinking about how
multi-agent systems require software to be malleable.
One experiment that I've been running has been,
I think most software in the near future
is gonna have two different sections.
The first is gonna be the core, deterministic, like your login pages and stuff like that. These don't change, right? They have
to be secure. But the other side is like, I don't want to call it the sandbox because sandbox means
something different nowadays, but more like a playground where like, hey, I need the app to look
like this because we're doing this right now. Can you just change that? And the app will like kind
of rearrange itself to kind of fit what you? And the app will kind of rearrange itself
to kind of fit what you need.
So that's kind of been something I've been running.
Combining that with things like Open Claw,
I think are going to be incredibly powerful,
but people haven't priced it in yet.
What do you think?
It makes sense in some form.
Realistically speaking,
I think this is kind of a little bit overhyped.
And I think we're moving towards an age of less determinism, which is going to be a bit of an
issue, which, you know, assuming that the compute prices will stay as they are is going to be a
problem. But I feel as though those prices will collapse a little bit in the future as well,
given that OpenAI, I think, has to like, you know, correct its position. OpenAI, I think,
they ordered a ton of compute so they so they
basically saw a threat uh from people who could utilize ram and so they decided to basically buy
up all the ram um which then of course you know created this explosion in price that we see that's
completely artificial um of course that will be corrected back down again because i don't think at
the moment that they have the money so they have to sell all that shit again so they can pay off
uh basically the order that they made of the compute that's coming. So I think we're seeing a collapse in those prices again. So maybe
we're not going to have the compute constraint as much as we thought there would be because it
probably won't last, but we'll see how that plays out. Outside of that, I think that maybe we should
kind of return to something that's a little bit more rigid because as we create systems of low
determinism and high inefficiency, what ends up happening is that
everything will be reduced down to web apps. And Microsoft is a great example of this,
in that a lot of what they're doing these days is AI coded, and a lot of their coders are idiots.
And so what ends up happening is that you get an exceedingly loaded operating system with
applications in them
that used to be built by legends
that function very, very well,
but don't function well anymore
because they've been effectively revamped
so as to be integrated into this larger system,
which is also shit.
And because they can't do this properly anymore,
they turn everything to web apps.
Your notifications are going to be the first thing to go.
Like your notification panel
that eats up a ton of RAM for no fucking reason,
like that shit is going to be the first to go and it will be turned into web apps. So now it's going to be the first thing to go. Like your notification panel that like eats up a ton of RAM for no fucking reason. Like that shit is going to be the first to go
and it'll be turned into a web app. So now it's going to fuck with your internet.
Oh my god.
Dude, you gotta
burn it all down. Start from scratch.
This is why MTA and you get to release it on macOS first.
Yeah, I mean, the thing is
this is actually, I see this as an absolute win.
The reason why is because
the more Microsoft fucks up
its product, the more demand and pressure
there will be on things like Linux to be improved
over time. You need that to be improved
so that basically that becomes effectively
the OS of choice.
Oh, you reminded me of something.
Basically, you know how Linux
used to, like, Linux had, like, this huge
barrier where, like,
oh, you gotta fucking install
three different drivers to like play youtube or
something um you don't need to do that anymore because you can just talk to the terminal and it
can just download stuff itself and oh complaining about drivers this this and that people don't care
about that so i think the ability for you to naturally talk to your terminal is going to make
things like linux a lot more accessible to the non-technical folk or maybe the people who are technical like me but don't have the time to spend configuring their Arch set up or whatever.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's definitely become a lot easier.
Like at the beginning of, I think, actually, no, towards the end of 2024, we were like, remember the older days of the conversation, we used to like argue about like which OS is the the best and have like full blown band for band autistic rants on the space about like, which
OS is objectively better, and just going back and forth about this kind of stuff for about three
hours every single day, right. And now it's more like it's completely it's it's it's like it's
changed. Because back then I didn't want to run Linux on my machine, because it was objectively
the worst thing you could do for gaming. Now it is actually kind of changing around.
So now it becomes a better idea for gaming at some point, right?
Because if Microsoft keeps becoming more bloated over time,
at some point, even the shortcomings of Linux,
if there are any that still remain,
will not be as severe as whatever bloat Microsoft has, right?
And so it becomes basically better.
It has massively improved.
I think it has massively improved.
And I think like even ray tracing
is now available on Linux as well.
It's a bit of a recent development,
which is pretty cool.
Definitely not on my bingo card.
But yeah, I definitely will say
that the whole arguing for three hours over,
like when you mentioned that,
I was thinking about like the JavaScript framework wars. We used to argue over like Vue or React or Angular back in the day.
Nowadays, it's the same thing, but just like with model providers and economic capacity.
The arguing never changes.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think it's like people tend to kind of say one thing is best, but well, one thing is better, but they don't elaborate as to what exactly their metric for or good about is like what is the thing that you're comparing it to
and what is the function that you think it's better at or functions that it's that it's better at so
you get like uh you get like this this interesting this interesting situation where you know like
for instance with ai models uh you have some ai models that are really good at like one particular
thing and really should all the other things like one is really good for
research purposes, the other one is really good for coding, the other one's really good at writing
shit, but it's like bad at all the other aspects. And so it's like to say, one model is better than
the other makes no sense unless you explain what exactly you're using the models for, right? And
the platforms are much so the same thing. It's like, okay, well, I'm using this version of Linux
for this purpose over here.
It's like, okay, that kind of makes a little bit more sense.
You know, and you say like, oh, here's a distribution,
a Linux distribution that is specifically designed
to allow better gaming, right?
It's like, okay, well, I'm using this to run games.
But if you say I'm using this to run a server infrastructure,
it's like, okay, wait a minute.
We have to ask some questions now.
Why this?
Why would you do this?
That sounds very unorthodox, right? So I feel like a surround server infrastructure. It's like, okay, wait a minute. We have to ask some questions now. Why this? Why would you do this? That sounds very unorthodox, right?
So I feel like a lot of these arguments
around which operating system is the best to run
or which distribution is the best run
boils down to what purpose you have for it.
It's like, what do you want it to fulfill?
That's the issue.
Yeah, I remember my friend Nick was kind of curious
about all this cloud code stuff.
And then I basically went to his house and like set it up for him.
And I kind of just, it was like teaching your kid how to ride a bike.
And like they start taking off and then they just like start going like really fast and you got to chase after them.
It's kind of like that because he's like non-technical.
So it was pretty interesting to see what kind of use cases were coming out of him and stuff like that but now
that's spread to the entire internet um like my my family's group chat was talking about moltbook
and i was like how the fuck did this break containment how did that happen like it still
does happen earlier on like twitter and stuff like that but before it used to take three to six months
to hit the mainstream now that timeline is like a month so things are things are condensed i think this is
i think this is because of uh the intersect that it has with the general public people have like
i think the general public does have some grasp on the dead internet theory and so when they
effectively see a fully automated version of reddit with a bunch of like so-called users on them
it starts to send an interesting message that people can somewhat grasp, right? Everything else outside of that. You can like say,
let's say the words matrix multiplication, and the average person will look at you and go,
right? But if you say autonomous agent, they will get some sort of an idea of what you're
talking about. It's like, there's a little bit more familiarity there. Remember when like Deep
Seek came out and like all of Reddit was like super fascinated by Deep you're talking about it's like there's a little bit more familiarity there remember when like deep seek came out and like all of reddit was like super fascinated by deep seek
and it was like a huge thing that everybody interacted with it's very similar in that like
the average person kind of understands what deep seek is because you know china be afraid of china
and so you have that enter into the public consciousness and then of course you know this
there's correction after that nobody really talks about deep seek as much anymore now because it's
kind of like an older story but then when moldbook and shit like that comes out it's like oh hey wait a minute these
are things that are fully autonomous that just do things right it's very interesting to people
because people are inherently lazy so they would like to figure out how you can automate things
like that even social interactions and content gathering slash creation and they're obviously
fascinated by this and also the other end is, how sentient are these things? And they keep equating it to what is effectively Skynet,
which I think is objectively retarded.
Anyone I think that is equating this to Skynet
is not exactly, not strictly speaking technical.
And if they are, they should probably be kept out of
various aspects of the industry
because they don't know what they're talking about.
Yeah, I feel like, so as an engineer,
I've had to communicate technical things to non-technical
people for like quite a few years now i found that the most effective approach was to take a
mental model that your person is already very familiar with right for example like skynet right
people don't know what the hell like agent swarms are but they know what skynet is they know what
like a beehive is. So taking that existing mental model
and piping your new concept through that
and being like, it's like that.
That helps people understand things very effectively.
And so that's why they reach for Skynet
and all these other things.
It's the simplest mental model that they have.
Yeah, that makes sense
because you're trying to basically market the thing.
And at the other end, like, I mean,
marketing is the proper word here
because many of these
ai influencers which i believe are mostly frauds and that's true um these people they must post
things so that they can get engagement and the general population will of course click on
something that's adjacent to skynet because they're stupid or at least they're non-technical
right which doesn't mean that they're stupid it just means they're non-technical right
so you then have like you know a little bit of clickbait the boomers click on it the average population clicks on it you get
a ton of engagement you basically are trying to normie max and normie max gets you the most amount
of engagement which is why i don't get a lot of engagement because i refuse to normie max i don't
give a shit right the only time i'll have i'll ever have any intersectionality with something
that is of the norm uh it's usually something that has to do with
something that's already quite established in some form,
like already mimetic, like for instance, the moldbook thing,
where I did get a decent amount of engagement on that,
but I posted about it because I was already interested in it,
not because the norm was interested in it.
If anything, it was kind of a correction,
it was like, okay, here is a lot of normie takes,
time for something that's a little bit different,
let me amplify something, have a space on this
and have a good discussion where other people were talking about
how this is supposedly Skynet.
We were talking about, hey, by the way, it's kind of basic.
It's like a chatbot.
It costs this much.
Here's what the safety issues are,
because there are a fucking ton of them.
If you run it, run it like this,
so you have the least amount of risks.
It's not entirely recommended, but if you really must,
here's how you do it.
That's a lot more constructive than the things that i that i usually uh see where people are trying to normally max so you get like a shit ton of
engagement and then they try to get you to do it and because somebody else is now doing it it
spreads around and gets more engagement basically right so it creates like this this fully recosive
i think this whole idea of like mold book unless they come up with something new will be entirely forgotten by the end
of the month.
I think it'll kind of be like Gastown, a cool experiment,
but not really that sticky,
but rather a potential future of what things could look like in the future.
But when it comes to like Normie Max and stuff like that,
I understand what you mean.
I find the best ways to balance it out
by like staying in these like technical circles
and like giving talks and stuff like that
about like technical stuff.
Like for example, context engineering,
multi-agent systems, right?
An agent is only as good as its tools and its context.
Take that and then your technical knowledge
can help you implement things like open claw
without the vulnerabilities.
Then when you normimax, you can go on on like god forbid linkedin or something like that or
like just in public and like talk to these people that aren't as familiar with and they were going
to ask like hey how can we implement this for ourselves and then from there that's when i guess
normal maxing is the most like important thing because if you just jargon max on them like
their their brains will turn off because you know
realistically they don't understand what you're talking about um but you must have seen a few of
like i don't know maybe like some of your business partners or people in your network that have taken
these uh like this this uh understanding like knowledge arbitrage and deployed it in the economy
like have you seen that like your friends just doing this stuff for people
that are non-technical yes yeah i think elliot is like the best example of this elliot arlo she's
doing that quite well um but also yeah i mean he's doing he's doing this because it's like basically
a job he has like a decent understanding of these systems so whenever something like ai related
comes up i just basically hit him up and be like, here, what do we think of this?
Because I like to look at people who have actual experience in this.
He's good at explaining technical things that require a more creative mind to,
you know, like bend into metaphors effectively. And that's what I would do. But the reason why he is good at what he does is because he's not good at what I do, because these are inherently
separate and different things. Like the poet is not going to be a good software engineer,
right? Or maybe he will be, who knows?
But he's going to lose out on the poetry
if he starts doing software engineering.
Yeah.
But yeah, no, I do think he'd like,
if you're somewhat technical,
like you can get to the point where it's somewhat technical,
you can just take whatever, you know,
outputs and then apply it for yourself,
which actually does tend to work out for a lot of the cases, right?
You get like maybe, I think 10% conversion, as in, like, say, you have a guide that you put out there,
100% of people watch it, 90% of those people don't understand it just kind of fades away after
three months. And the other 10% eventually, like, turn that into something that they're genuinely
obsessed with. And then I think the 15 to 20% of that 10%
eventually turn into people who can hold down a job
based on what they've learned, right?
So the conversion is extremely brutal
for things that are technical in nature,
which is why a lot of AI influencers
never post anything that is true,
like truly actionable,
because you have to basically make shit up
because as soon as you're confronted with something that's actionable
it's like non-profitable basically
and in the case of like
in case of Arlach is like able to
turn it into something
where like the conversion is acceptable
and actually turns into something pretty good
and then later on that benefits him as well because you know
people like to do good things in return
and it also kind of pushes forward
a specific kind of meta
and accelerates the field in general
because you're not reliant on academia anymore
for technical education, which is a great win for everyone.
And I think also a great slap in the face
for the hyper-politicized academic circles in general because like right now you
could say study this thing that will allow you to work in the field of ai for five years at a
university imagine you started this in like 2021 you come out you now want to get a job guess what
two years ago the autistic dude with no degrees to his fucking name, the dropout, spent all of his time hypermaxing CUDA kernels, now has the job, will keep the job, and he won't get the job because you were credentials maxing at a university.
You come out now, you have no experience, and you have a degree, and you have a whole bunch of student debts.
That's it, right? So if non-academic, if something that's like non-academic in nature
is actually accelerated, then it kind of breaks the hold that academia has on the job market,
effectively. Because the shittiest thing is if you are a super capable person who is infinitely
more capable than a guy who holds a degree, is like not allowed to work at a company because
he doesn't have that degree, this is this is something that ai is
basically broken which i think is excellent yeah when you were talking about autistic guy
dropout blah blah blah i was like dude is he talking about me i mean yeah why not you know
you turn something into success like you can spend five years you can spend four to five years
at university learning something that may or may not benefit you and will be outdated by the time you
got it. Or you can get to work immediately. And it's what I think is really balls, balls are like
kind of ballsy of a company to do is to hire people with no credentials. Like that's excellent,
man, because that's a that's a that's really cool. Because you have these things like a hackathon,
right? People go there, and they actually prove themselves that they can actually execute on the things that they know.
Instead of just saying, here's a good degree.
I actually don't know what the fuck I'm talking about,
but you can hire me because I have a fucking degree, right?
Like that's why a person without a degree with experience
gets the job and the person with a degree
and no experience does not get the job,
even though technically speaking
from the perspective of documentation,
that person with a degree is supposed to be more capable, even though he's not, right? Like a lot of these people aren't actually like, you know,
degree holders or anything. There are some of the best people in the field. If not, I would say that
the majority of the people that don't hold degrees are the ones that are best in the field, because
they basically put most of their mental energy as a focus on this one particular thing that they
then basically turned into something that can actually like make the money which means that they are by definition the perfect expert because the perfect
expert takes all their energy and puts it into one singular thing and becomes the absolute master
at it right which you can't really do when you're like studying and shit like that because you're
not mastering anything and just remembering stuff to put on a piece of paper so that you can i
suppose prove your knowledge even though you can't implement on it, which means it's useless. Yeah, I agree. Adrian, let me tell you something that worries me.
Okay, so I, like a bunch of other people probably listen to this,
I have like a little brother,
and he's just entered his second semester of grade 11.
And so he's taking like physics and stuff like that.
And I pretty much like locked down his like his studying workflow
using all these like models
and stuff like that here's what worries me there's so much uncertainty of what's going to happen of
like after he graduates high school like is university going to be like like a path that
he goes down like i i don't know if it's like stanford or harvard or some like great american
school like mit i would say even with all the credentialism like shit going around, like I would still be like, yeah, you should
go there because you should hang out with people that get into MIT and Harvard and stuff
like that.
But like outside of that, I wouldn't advise him to go to university.
And that's not what makes me worry.
What makes me worry is in that second path, where do I point him?
There's so much uncertainty in that regard and my only answer
and you can comment on this for some other people that might have the same situation with like their
sons daughters little sisters etc is like i have to get into like a really good position with my
companies and my ventures and shit like that so i can basically slot him into the positions where he will just soak up so much knowledge,
make a bunch of mistakes that are going to make him
like really good at his work and shit like that.
Like I need to be able to provide that for him.
I wouldn't rely on him like going into the job market
like as it is now and as it is in a few years
because we really don't know what's going to happen.
So on top of this pressure of me doing my own stuff, I'm like, damn, I got to not just get myself out of the
potential underclass, but also all the people like coming after me too. So like, what do you
think about that? And I'm curious if anyone else listening to this might feel the same way, because
I don't just feel like a weight upon myself, but also for those coming after us
that are entering a system
that's going to be more broken
than it ever was before.
I don't think realistically
that the system is broken.
I feel like it is just misaligned
and is led by broken people.
That's usually what I think is the problem.
Like when you look at something like government,
you take some of the greatest governments
in the world and you ask themselves,
why has it gone to shit in recent time?
Well, because obviously the leadership is done, right?
It's incompetent.
Maybe it's not even done.
Maybe it's right.
So I think that at the moment, we're actually just seeing a competency crisis.
And the correction will just be kind of a market crash, you know, very similar to what we've seen in the roaring 20s.
I think in some form, we're actually going to see that again.
We're living 100 years after the fact and there are many parallels. So I think a collapse would be coming in maybe like
eight years, maybe, or less actually, less than eight years, maybe like three, something like
that. Yeah, maybe like three and then a full-on reset, but like eight. The thing is, I think there
are a lot of reasons to be pessimistic about the future, but I think in some form, maybe that isn't entirely necessary, but what you will need is a
certain set of skills. You'll need cognitive security, you'll need to be capable of metacognition
as a skill, not just as a thing that you have, because, you know, people do have metacognition,
they just don't use it as a skill. You will also need to have a decent understanding
of mathematics, a solid understanding of history, and language as well, because this will be
exceedingly important in the future. As we enter into an age that's very information-dominated
and full of misinterpretations of things, you will need to know how things originally were,
and how things need to be continuing forward, how do you like adapt so realistically speaking if you have good discernment you will be able to kind of survive
and perhaps even thrive in practically almost any future that doesn't end in the all-out
destruction of earth right and even then it's like you know there there are solutions for that too
so like i think just given the basics,
realistically, I'm not sure if university
will help anyone at all. Like, you'll need
any degrees, because at the moment it seems to be as though
that this meta is kind of over, unless you want to go
to some European country, which is falling.
Unless you want to go to, like, Eastern
Europe, there might be some opportunities there, but
I'm not entirely sure. If you want to go to, like, Western Europe
and get, like, a job there,
that's basically hopeless. This is also why there's no innovation there right so so there's like you
you shouldn't like europe max right you shouldn't focus on that and in america basically like the
idea of a degree is just kind of like expiring at a at a very rapid rate so i wouldn't i wouldn't
entirely concern myself with that the only reason why you'd want to send somebody to a high school
or send them to a university is if you have the money to send them to some of the best universities,
as in like, you know, where all the rich people go, so that the kid that you're sending there
basically has the ability to connect with other rich kids and then effectively make connections
for the future. That's realistically the entire purpose. It's not that you're going to learn
anything new there because everything that you could possibly want to learn is available for free or at a very, very low price on the
internet. You could just like do this shit right now. So realistically speaking, you're not there
for the learning experience. You're there for the connections. Even as a kid, you must connection
max. That's the first thing you'll need to do. You'll need to figure out how to build things
with people. You'll need to figure out how to find exceptional people, connect with them and
stay connected over like the next 10 to 20 years, because that will be exceedingly important.
I myself am maxing this exact same thing.
I'm like about four years into the process.
So it's like we're going to we're going to see how like that holds.
I'm pretty sure it will hold for like maybe in the entire lifetime.
But that's the thing.
Even when you're older and I'm like 24, you still need to connection max because that's the thing you'll need. You'll need competent people
that you can rely upon and
know that those
people can rely upon you as well to be productive.
That's going to be the future. Which is
also why you see none of us here watching sports.
Because we're actively working on
fucking ourselves in the future. So that when people
ask, hey, where did all the opportunities go?
We can answer with, we took them while you were
busy watching a ball that instead of
hitting the net, came out of a net.
Yeah, I would argue against pessimism and towards positioning.
At the end of the day, that's the whole reason why we have our eyes and ears open is to see
what's going on so we can position ourselves to benefit from certain things and away from
other things.
That whole networking thing that you you mentioned where you're positioning yourself
to have the best sets of friends, that is like a direct second order effect of positioning yourself
well. You're positioning yourself within the realms of these people. It's like people go to
certain like events and they enter certain group chats and they make friends with other people in
communities because not only does it help you secure like you know opportunities and stuff like that and figure out what's going on but like
the information landscape fundamentally changes when you have like people who know their shit
talking to you because you can talk to a lot of them and actually figure out hey what's actually
going on versus what's you know what's noise like we all saw when like um you know chat gpt atlas
came out a regular person might have been like, oh shit, Chrome is going to fucking die.
But then you talk to a person who's like worked on that.
Maybe something they contribute is like open source and they see like, it's not about the app.
It's about everything around like, you know, the 10 years of development behind Chromium and like the whole marketplace, the ecosystem and stuff like that.
the ecosystem and stuff like that.
Positioning yourself well in relation to other people
gives you the best information landscape
to position yourself well for future things.
And I don't know how to convey it in any other way
other than that, but that's kind of been
what's been driving my decisions for the last five years.
Yeah, makes a lot of sense.
I mean, it's like, again like there's a lot of reasons to
be pessimistic but i think that's in a world full of pessimists and unrealistic optimists you should
be a realist real realistically speaking right that's the that's the thing that i think is a
winning move i think if you wanted to create something that is of immense risk but also
potential for immense benefit you will in some form need to be an unrealistic optimist like a like there is a certain level of delusion
like there's a certain level of delusion that you'll need to have in order to create something
that's like insanely high impact like someone like elon musk for instance if you wanted to take the
realist route you'll turn into like a war Buffett, which is pretty good. I see myself as probably turning more into a Warren Buffett over
time. As for like Elon, in order to create something like what he has created, you need to
be extremely optimistic, almost like delusional on what you're doing, because otherwise you'll
never achieve these like insane things. Because it isn't't like even when he started the space company this wasn't
something that was entirely logical because it would lose you a ton of money and there was no
true guarantee of success outside of that reasonably speaking this should work right
from an engineering perspective this should work and they did make it work and now they're super
successful but a lot of others had tried and failed. And they were exceedingly realistic about their approach, and they saw the losses, and they saw
the chance of failure, and the chance of success, and decided to just basically give up. Whereas for
like what Elon did, he just decided to keep pushing, and just said, fuck it, all in or nothing.
So that led to then basically this massive amount of success, which also is the reason for why he has so much money today.
So it really depends on what kind of life you want to choose for yourself.
If you want to take on the tremendous amount of risk,
you can definitely do that.
It will consume most of your life.
But if you want to take on some amount of risk
and yet still live somewhat comfortably,
you're going to have to start maximizing something
that's very similar to Warren Buffett. But in order to get anywhere close to whatever Warren Buffett is,
you'll need money. And for that, you'll need a job, right? And I think there will be lots of
job opportunities that are coming out in the future. And I think even in terms of content
creation, there's a lot of opportunity for people in content creation. Like, think of it,
like classical music, for instance, is not really
comparable to techno, right? Although it borrows some principles, like, for not even techno,
it's like synthwave. You know, you have synthwave and you have classical, both of which you don't
really, like, sing anything, but they're very melodic in nature, right? These things are, like,
fundamentally different. One is machine, and the other one is man. And of course, machine outperforms
man, but it's still man that is steering the machine. the other one is man. And of course, machine outperforms man,
but it's still man that is steering the machine.
Now, if you wanted to think of it in terms of content creation with AI,
you know, this kind of thing,
a conversation like this is very classical in nature.
There's no AI that's being used for this.
Nothing is like increasing the quality necessarily
of this experience other than me having knowledge and that's very classical
right this is very classical whereas if i were to say become like an ai avatar that is controlled
by my movements that would kind of go more towards like the the synth wave route right
where it's like yes these are both still technically music but one is classical and the other one is
more modern.
So I think even in the future where AI is doing a lot of content creation,
I think that the true human aspect will be preserved
and will actually become very important and very economic.
And besides, the machines are largely just puppets anyway.
So you'll be replaced by a human that
is capable of using the machine or succeeding in spite of the machine i agree yeah well adrian
there's no catching up with you i'm gonna head to the gym now i'll see you guys later see you man
good luck out there dude later you too see you excellent let's off to a solid start
let's see if we can probably bring
some other people
I saw Chad earlier request I'm not sure where he
went to he like fucking evaporated
yeah
on the front of gaming since we're
talking about content creation and like media
just for the funnies
by the way Blythe are you speaking or are you muted?
Yeah, no, I'm muted.
I was just wondering.
I was just wondering.
But on the front of media creation,
we're doing more Minecraft gaming now as well.
We're also still doing a bit of Arc Raiders,
but the problem is with Arc Raiders,
you'd need to play during times
in which a lot of unemployed MFs come online and they're like unrealistically play so you'll need
to come on during that period of time which is also when a lot of streamers tend to play
so it's a bit difficult and it's very intermittent and not really suitable for streaming
and so we're kind of like stream towards the evening and then when we stream towards the
evening that's largely just going to be like chill gaming so we've been like playing a bunch
of minecraft i hope nobody's bored by this, but that's kind of what we're doing.
We also have a Noetic Order Minecraft server now, so that's pretty cool.
This is where we play this so people can actually interact,
which is also part of the privileges inherent to the advanced members subscription.
So if you go to Discord right there, I think I've...
Let me put this up at the top real quick.
Should be able to see it.
It's discord.gg slash noetic.
And there's 10 server slots in there.
So if you want to get in.
It's 20, actually.
It's 20, which means.
Oh, there's 20 now.
Yeah, it's 20.
So it means at any given time,
there can be 20 people playing at the same time
in the same Minecraft server.
Sweet.
I didn't know they upgraded it.
Nice.
No, it was.
You can see the slots.
It should be 20. so you can get like
16 additional people because like usually
at any given time it's like 4 people playing so like 16
and I don't think that's that many people I think
at most it's going to be like top 10 people playing
but that's like whatever but like
yeah it doesn't really like it doesn't really
matter what matters is that you have like
focus and can stay on task and because
you know I'm going to be in
the advanced VC after this,
once the space concludes,
and that's where we usually coordinate.
So like we have daily conversations
outside of the weekly conversation.
You know, like how we used to have like a conversation
that would go every single day.
We still basically do those,
but I do those in the advanced members VC
because I've understood something
that's very key about the world.
And that is basically that life in the web AI internet is all about paywalling valuable content that isn't a marketing hook.
And in many ways, this space is effectively a marketing hook. You know, people are used to this.
It's great to have like a weekly feature that can draw in more people. But realistically speaking,
that's part of this. It's one part love of the game and the other parts ways to basically do
marketing for what is effectively my Discord server, right?
Like, I basically do both.
And it makes sense to, like, say that because, you know,
if you want to, like, go into the future,
you're going to have to be honest about things
because the record is always going to be there.
So that's basically what it is, you know,
makes a lot of sense.
Because economically speaking,
it doesn't really make sense to put the majority
of one's content in one singular place
and to have that basically be scrapable by AIs for like, what are like, you know, fractions of a cent.
And then you have like bad distribution added on top of that for content that is abstract,
which means that not only are you feeding systems for like, not only are you feeding systems and
these systems are willing to get knowledge
that could be worth thousands
for effectively what is fractions of a cent
or a penny, whichever way you want to like,
you know, go that.
But you're also having no distribution on top of that.
So the valuable content is being output
as being input into a system.
And the distribution is still fundamentally asked,
because the majority of the people do not understand its value. And the system itself
does also not understand its value. It just won't, you know, spread your content at all. So there's
no economic incentive in that whatsoever. And I do have to look out for the economic incentive,
because as much time as I spend on this, you know, there has to be some sort of war that comes out
the other end, which can then be used to create better content.
For instance, with the X revenue that I collected over time,
I was able to buy a new computer, which then increased
the content experience for everybody else.
I was able to get a phone, able to get a computer,
these things.
That was a great upgrade.
It was very necessary.
And so economics makes sense
and then they have to have like an economic focus
and that's what I've done here
and then your computer went up in value
because all the RAM prices went up
that's kind of funny
yeah, although I see that collapsing as well
I mean, it's still pretty funny
I think GPUs
yeah, I think GPUs may go up in price
just a little bit
that would make a lot of sense but I think for memory it's probably going to stay pretty much as it is GPUs may go up in price just a little bit.
That would make a lot of sense.
But I think for memory, it's probably going to stay pretty much as it is.
Or it's going to collapse to a price that is slightly above what it previously was at before the massive pump.
Because, again, some of the companies that bought it
will need to sell it off because they don't know what the fuck to do with it.
And they've got other priorities.
So basically, the current price is dependent on
whether or not OpenAI is able to raise and burn more money.
So if the answer is no, then the prices are going to go down
and y'all are going to be able to buy RAM again
and it's going to be great.
And this is also why the manufacturers,
because manufacturers go like,
oh, hey, why don't we increase the product production?
Why don't we create more infrastructure to basically cater to the demand?
Well, because they already know it's going to collapse as well.
And there is really very little benefit to manufacturing memory.
It's really bad.
The industry is extremely neglected.
And if anything, I feel like this is kind of a correction.
It makes sense for memory to actually be more valuable
given how essential it is.
But given its somewhat simplistic nature,
it's really the underdog.
And it is massively fucked
when it comes to what people desire
and what people hold a priority for.
And so basically the whole field of memory
is very neglected.
And so this is why they don't upscale.
Because the demand like this is going to be temporary.
And then when it collapses, it'll have a whole
bunch of useless infrastructure.
This is not okay. It's not worth the
investment.
Right?
So that's kind of what you're seeing at the moment.
It's really funny.
Hopefully that changes.
Yeah, a little bit.
I don't really care if it changes.
I mean,
I should care a little bit because
price points and all, but I feel like if it would stay
a little higher, it would
be better uh for all
involved including like the companies uh like the manufacturer and the software companies themselves
because then the price for the average consumer goes up which is not inherently good but is good
in that you know because it'll be less ram to go around because of this you know basically you know
being almost unrealistic to purchase uh it will force software companies to be much more efficient like
i said prior with the example of windows the reason why linux is winning so much is not just
because it's improving but because there's pressure on this improvement and also by comparison
microsoft is becoming shit so it's like an inversion of the graph basically where like
one is being the other one's going down but the improvement isn't necessary like you know if you
were to compare microsoft at its best versus Linux
and what it is now, it's still not really up to that standard, I think.
But it's going to exceed it very soon, which means that, you know,
in general, the improvement will be great.
So it's like not saying that it's the least shitty of the shitty options,
but that it's the best of the options that are there,
as in, like, it's not just shitty in some form. It's just that it's the best of the options that are there, as in, like, it's not
just shitty in some form, it's just that it's the best, right? So that's what I kind of hope for
Linux to happen, because, like, there's lots of bloat in there. But again, like, the idea is,
if there's lots of bloat in the system, and you want to get rid of that bloat, when there's demand
for that bloat to be, you know, gone, that creates the environment that is perfect for improvement
and radical change. This is usually why, why oftentimes you need to let things go to shit a little bit
so that there's pressure and that there's demand on change.
Change is very difficult to be created.
So you need to create absolute, like you have to create an absolute shithouse situation,
like complete dog shit, abysmal dog shit. Like like complete dog shit abysmal dog shit like
if your baseline is abysmal dog shit any improvement is a massive improvement but like realistically
speaking if there needs if there if there has to be change and you want to force it through you
need to create an environment that is abysmal dog shit which nobody can tolerate and then you will
see true improvement because a lot of people like uh things stay a certain way. They don't like change
because change is inherently chaotic
and it's difficult to measure
and to account for.
So it makes sense that
there has to be some sort of
bullshit that goes
around so that you can drive the change
that needs to happen. By the way, for those of you who just joined, please, like bullshit that goes around so that you can drive the change that needs to happen.
By the way, for those of you who just joined, please a quote post to the space with a join the conversations that more people can see that we are here. Uh, due to recent algorithm updates,
spaces links are completely abysmal, which is unfortunate. And there's lots of interesting
sorting where basically you have to trend a post. And what I mean with trend posting is that whatever
seems to be the topic of the day, it needs to be addressed in some form. And sometimes I really don't feel like doing
that. So that's kind of an issue. But if you quote post the space, then there will be more
impressions on this and perhaps more people see it. And then later, of course, be able to listen
to the recording if they happen to want to do that, right? Because, you know, lots of interesting
stuff was said early in the space. So you really't want to uh leave that out there so at the end of this which is going to happen in about an
hour or less then you can kind of like listen to the recording and if you would like a continuation
you can join me in the discord server i'll be there and i'll be in the advanced members chilling
and doing the daily session as i usually do we're also going to be doing like a a bunch of minecraft
gaming uh because we want to kind of like do this and fulfill it. So should be funny.
We're doing automation. There's a mod called Sky Factory. It's a lot of automated systems. Pretty cool. Pretty interesting.
Yeah, should be fun. My spam bots are like taking taking shit. So good. Very nice.
My spam bots are like taking, taking shit.
So good.
Very nice.
Like the spam couragian bots.
Thankfully with Linux though, like we have Valve, right?
Which is like doing a huge thing with Steam.
They're making Linux gaming like an actual thing.
So if it wasn't for like Valve and Steam,
it would be nowhere near where it is
because they have like Proton to allow you to play PC games on there
through the emulation there, which is pretty nice.
Indeed.
Yeah.
I think it's...
Man, I really
hope that Gabe Newell
has some sort of backup for
his mortality
effectively, because that guy's gonna
die eventually.
I fear for what
will happen to the company if he does die um of old age obviously so i would like i would i would
i wouldn't want that company to fail because steam right now is one of the best best things
that have ever happened for gaming because like in general um all the other companies are just
complete dog shit like abysmal
dog shit. And that's actually adding more value
to Steam. And Steam has
the greatest value. Steam has the
interests of the customer at hand.
And you can really tell that that is the
case because you have instances like when
Gabe Newell was talking about the nature of
privacy. That
the Russians are super cracked and so they'd always have
the first pirated version of everything. Like somebody would do piracy. And then people say,
oh, piracy is an issue of content or safety. It's like, no, piracy is a customer service problem.
That's what he said. They said that privacy is a customer service problem, which is absolutely true. For instance, here's a good example. I once wanted to watch a film that came out in the 1980s, I think 1980s
and 70s. This movie, I had to go through such insane hoops just to be able to watch it. Like,
you cannot imagine the kind of stuff that I had to do to legally be able to watch it.
I was going to pirate it, but I was like, nah man, we got to fucking legally do this.
This is a bad idea. I can't have that be associated.
So we had to do all kinds of games and all this shit in order to just watch a fuck-ass movie
that nobody gives a flying fuck about anymore.
Why would you make things so difficult?
I do not understand what is wrong with companies.
You need the money. You want the money money i'm willing to pay you the money but what do you do is you turn
it into shit microsoft is one of the worst examples of this if you're not in a specific region
you can't even pay for shit i can't for instance change like a gamer handle because i'd need
basically someone else's fucking address and phone number because in my region it doesn't fucking exist and hell the region for like the
information that i have doesn't exist as well where i go like how the fuck can you miss this
like bro microsoft for all the weird inclusivity nonsense like you always hear like from these
companies that they want to have inclusivity this inclusivity that i'm like okay stupid politics why are you geographical speciists bro everything fucking like my my my lost brain
cells and the weird stuff that falls off my skin all of this shit cannot at any point be considered
in the remotest sense something that microsoft is going to interface with nothing of me will be able to integrate like i live in a fucking region where if i go in it's
like okay very nice i go to steam it's like price adjusted to my region which means if i live in a
fuck-ass country and it really is fuck-ass at the moment right because you know it's they don't know
how to fix their shit around here the bureaucracy is complete nonsense they tried to get something
done it's impossible um and people say oh why would you say this i'm like because it's fucking
true the shit that i have to do in order to get the basic, the bare fucking minimum of
stuff done here is absolutely insane. So I get to complain about it. I get to complain about it.
Right. Outside of that, you know, of course it's price adjusted, meaning that it costs less
for me to shop here on steam than some other regions. So the price adjustment is actually really good, right?
This is great.
They're looking out for the consumer.
This is fucking amazing.
If you're in a piss poor fucking country,
of course the prices should be reduced a little bit.
Makes a little bit of sense, right?
That's fucking awesome.
There's no real reason for why you should do it,
except for just that it's the right thing to do, right?
But even Steam, I can buy shit on their store
with the details that I
have here in this fucking country, which is like, barely recognized. That's amazing. Whereas
Microsoft, you can't fucking do shit. Unless you're in some super established country,
you are not going to be, you're not going to have anything available to you. It's the same thing
with like, you know, the idea of financial information, and all this kind of other stuff,
which is why banks suck complete ass,
it doesn't make any sense
for a bank to suck this much ass
in today's world
until you realize
a lot of their infrastructure
is like 40 to 20 years old,
which honestly is wild
because if anybody wanted
to create a global cyber attack,
they absolutely could,
just nobody does it
because it kind of sucks
to shit where you eat, right?
You don't take it like,
like imagine you have the dinner table, you're about to shit where you eat, right? You don't take it, like, imagine you have the dinner table.
You're about to sit down and eat.
If you took a shit on the seat that you're about to sit on to eat, right,
that's going to suck, right?
And that's why nobody does this kind of stuff,
because it's in nobody's interest to actually cause massive scale collapse.
And even if you could do it,
you'd need resources that a lot of people didn't have
that actually are willing to cause the destruction.
And a lot of the people that are actually willing to cause destruction on that scale in that way actually kind of retarded.
So it's a correction, effectively, of intelligence.
So it's ironic, right, that these systems will stay fucked and broken and useless.
Or at least they're still useful, but like that's pushing it a little bit at some point.
That's why there's like, you know, alternative methods of payment, different banks and all this kind of stuff that's like recently being um recently springing up so
that's pretty cool and why there's like such a huge push for decentralization and all this kind
of stuff this decentralization aspect it's not just about people like not being able to
like people being able to hide themselves but just to be able to engage financially with somebody
else like that's the main reason like even if even if even if
everything was like super public on the fucking blockchain it wouldn't really matter all that
much because like people just use it as a means to transfer value from one place to another because
their fucking bank is racist like i'm sorry hey microsoft gigiga racist corporation. They are one of the most racist corporations on the face of the earth.
Oh, why?
That doesn't make any sense.
They look out for this stuff.
They do their marketing campaigns.
Well, it's just a marketing campaign.
If you are going to discriminate against an entire continent, bro, excuse me.
Sorry, Microsoft.
I didn't recognize your game you're more racist than the average fucking kkk guy in the center of the fucking u.s that's impressive like that's fucking
impressive you're like willing to discriminate an entire geography bro you're even racist against
the fucking ants you're borderline speciest if you say this whole fucking thing. Nah, man, fuck
them. Microsoft be like the most racist corporation. Well, he's one of the most. There's others that
have like regional limiting as well. If you like do regional limiting and you say you're all about
inclusivity, go fuck yourself. You're more racist than the fucking KKK people straight up. Like
they just hate people because they look different, right? Nah, bro, you're going down to the fucking kkk people straight up like they just hate people because they look different right nah
bro you're going down to the fucking insects at this point if you hate on an entire fucking
geography that's redact that's actually retarded like that's just that maybe that's even equally
as retarded or maybe even more retarded i don't even know it's just fucking stupid right it doesn't
make any sense like why would you do that yeah um there's probably some economic reason saying oh
it's not worth it we don't give a shit but if you't, I mean, if you really say it's not worth it,
then why would you do inclusivity
for whatever minorities are supposed to be?
What is that marketing all supposed to be for?
Like, if you're going to do your politics,
be consistent.
Like, I know that they want to be visual
and they want to do all those things.
But realistically speaking,
that's not even economical.
That's not economic in the slide.
Like, how is that economic?
It doesn't make any sense. If that is like legitimately something that's a minority, right?
It doesn't make sense to pander this way. But they still do pander because they want to do
their dumbass politics. And politics are stupid in general, all of them, any side. I don't give
a shit what side it comes from. It's fucking stupid because it's like disingenuous as fuck.
Because then once you consider like what it's all about, there are inconsistencies. There's
hypocrisy, right? So like, again, like what I said, you want to be like inclusive of minorities.
Cool.
Then why don't you include this one region over here?
Sure.
It will like represent economically speaking, a minority of the revenue.
But I thought that's what you're all about.
Right?
You want to like look out for the little guys.
Well, clearly not.
Right?
So it's all bullshit.
Like any company that pulls out, it's all bullshit.
That's why I like Steam so much because they don't do that kind of stuff right you're like it's
actually surprising the availability that you have with steam and so this this the the the the
like i admire gabe newell a great deal and i admire the company a great deal as well because
that was the first part even that's the first gaming platform that i used i was impressed
by how well it worked and a lot of people in Europe then complain about some sort of monopoly.
And I'm like, guys, you are the definition of a destructive monopoly in the entire region.
You take a whole bunch of independent countries and successfully fuck them all simultaneously through your absolute dumb fucking regulations.
Like, they will come up with the most intelligent thing that makes the most amount of sense,
that puts everybody to shame.
One out of 99 actions are one of those things, right?
Like, one action that's so fucking based where you go,
damn, bro, that puts everybody else to shame.
And the rest of the 99 are the most retarded, dumbest fucking
anti-human horse shit
known to fucking man next to
slavery. It's crazy.
That's what Europe is all about. So them
complaining about a monopoly, thanks to fucking
whatever steam is doing, is
insanely ironic.
It is wildly ironic. So I don't understand that.
It makes no sense.
I looked up some of the sanctioned countries cuba iran north korea sudan syria those ones are all sanctioned by microsoft uh they're not they don't provide any service well iran makes
well iran makes a lot of sense that that's that that's sanctioned right you go like a fucking
terrorist regime they're like i mean that one i can even understand to some degree like you can't
sell you can't sell technology to terrorists.
That makes a lot of sense.
Although I would hope that once the regime is replaced,
the fucking sanctions are immediately lifted
because it's hurting the people more than it is the actual regime.
And the regime is still going to find ways around that.
Do you think that Iran is not using Microsoft?
Okay. Okay. Yeah, sure. Sure, yeah sure sure buddy yeah sure that's 100 let's find ways around it yeah surely they're
surely they're not using ltsc surely the country that does a lot of the fucking piracy doesn't
have solutions for this okay okay your sanctions are really helping in that respect super super rich like
okay i guess that's working right supposedly it's not it's fucking not it's delusional right that
that whole regime needs to disappear in order for there to be actual real like you're not going to
be able to to shove it in the face of the regime with sanctions be like oh we're showing them that
it's like no you're not it's the same shit with fucking Russia. You know, Europe is like massively against Russia,
yet still they're relying off their oil and gas.
What's that all about?
Why don't you cut that off and build your own nuclear power plants?
Actually build your own nuclear power plants first and then cut it off.
That makes no fucking sense.
You guys say, oh, we got sanctions going on.
Well, they seem to be working quite well,
given that you're buying their products.
What?
What the fuck?
Like, excuse me, what is this logic this logic well there isn't a logic it's
an it's an absence it's an absence of logic right so if you really wanted to consider it
uh like the sanctions bit doesn't really work you have to like have actual regime change which a lot
of people tend to have a tend to have a bit of a problem with, which is kind of funny because they have this overweighted brain rot of democracy in their head, which is ironic because that usually comes from a
country like the United States, which isn't a democracy. It's a constitutional republic,
actually. So I find it's funny that people that come from a country that is not democratic,
it's a constitutional republic, but has aspects of democracy, that these people have an overweighting to democracy,
so much so that they are willing to clown on Kim Jong-un
for getting 99% of every vote that they have.
It's like, oh yeah, that's a dictatorship, right?
Everybody says, oh yeah, straight up, that's hyper-authoritarian,
it gets 99%. It's obvious that that's faked, right?
That's what they do. They will say that, but yet when they see that in the case of Iran
with the implementation of Mossadegh, they will say, oh yeah, that's what they do they will say that but yet when they see that in the case of like iran with the implementation of mosaddegh they will say oh yeah that's totally realistic i'm like
wait what hang on hang on hang on i'm here i'm feeling a little bit of cognitive dissonance so
they have like a negative connotation towards regime change because they think that the the
u.s destroyed the country or some shit which is completely wrong by the way if anything the uk
and the soviets at the time they were the ones that destroyed the country because they were the ones that pressured the then Shah to constitutionally appoint Mossadegh in the first place.
That was mainly constitutional.
And the first vote was actually done through parliamentary vote. who's to be democratic votes of Mossadegh. What they did was they basically had it.
So we have two booths and one is a yes booth.
One is the no booth.
And so the yes and no choice being whether or not the continuation of Mossadegh's power
was going to be the case.
Like, you know, whether you're going to allow that.
And so the population voted.
But the way they did this was that if you went into the yes booth, yes, continuation
of power, you know, you'd come back out of everything fine.
If you go into the no booth, they'd basically be waiting for you by the time you get out.
They'll take your ass, beat you with an injury of your life or to death.
One of the two depends on which way they're feeling that day.
And that was going to be your consequence if you decided to vote for the no booth.
So, of course, a lot of people either didn't go or went into the yes booths.
And so there is your beautiful democratically elected leader, so to speak, which was only in power
because the UK and the Soviets fucked the country. Nice democracy, guys. Maybe you can learn history
because you're fucking retarded. Like your university is not teaching you this because
university is political. If you're political in any way, like you're just stupid. Right wing,
left wing, both the same. You're missing a lot of the picture you have one version of history and you have the other version of history and both sides want to rewrite it in their own
favor this is fucking stupid yeah like what is this i will clown on both those sides any time
of the day i don't give a fuck like look at look at the recent shit that's been happening i think
that some of you might have seen this whole sarah stalk um
nonsense blow over where like you have a whole bunch of these uh these these people who pretend
to be traditionalist on the fucking platform posting about all this kind of stuff and you
know whatnot and whatnot which is kind of ironic because when you look at the traditions that they
want to signal right these tried to people what they want to sit signal it's kind of interesting
because if they were supposed to be true
about this and actually go through with it,
they wouldn't even have an account in the first place.
How are you doing that? If you're supposedly
traditional and you want to follow these like
old ways, what the fuck are you doing on the internet?
That's one of the first requisites.
You're lying.
Your first,
your most direct thing, the first thing, the most important bit, you're immediately de first your most in your most direct thing the first thing the most important
bit you're immediately deceptive on and you completely gloss over it when somebody puts it
brings it up you're not traditionalist you're fake clearly that's the first red flag and the
second red flag is what they talk about and how they execute themselves right and of course you
had this like oh hey you know you gotta engage you're married but while all this was happening
while the engagement and all this was happening she was like fucking some other dude
called elijah sheffer it's like okay cool that's just perfectly fine like you're super trad your
base trad influencers are like all whores and and and like are all gay even though they say they're
not and they're all just like sexual deviants which i'm like if you want to be a sexual deviant
at least be transparent about it i don't give a shit if you are by the way like outside of like you know if you do things are genuinely illegal then of course i'm gonna
give a shit because it's fucking illegal right that's disgusting and morally fucked um like then
of course i might have a problem but like if you if you engage in all this weird ass fucking
activity and then you want to come out and say that you're a trad are you fucking retarded
like what is wrong with you you stupid piece of shit and even worse are the people that are
following this stuff imagine you're like unironically follow these people, you listen
to what they have to say, and they're not transparent about anything that they do.
Like, I am majorly transparent. If I say something, I will tell you exactly why I think these
things, and I will be very honest with this stuff. And I've been so since the beginning
from when I started hosting spaces. I've always been the same, right?
If anything, I would say the only change has been that I've been more expressive and more
transparent and less tolerant for bullshit, right? Which is great because that's how you become the
most objective thing in the room. Like it makes a lot of sense. That is great. I think a lot of
people think it's entertaining, right? And part of this is just ditching the entire idea of like
these weird politics. Like I don't like the left. I don't like the right.
I don't like the fucking centrists because they're useless motherfuckers that don't stand
for anything.
If anything, you can be like a radical centrist.
That makes sense because they stand for all the things that work in simultaneity, right?
That makes a lot of sense.
I'm actually going to post that.
But like the, the, the, the idea of like the, the, the idea of like this, this weird politicization
of stuff is so stupid. It's the same thing that happens
with knowledge and academia. Academia is not a thing
that's bad inherently. It's not a bad, it's not a broken
system. What's broken is the people that are in it
because all they prioritize is some
strange political signaling that they don't even
understand based on a history that is false
like
how do you do this? A lot of this
strange signaling on both
sides is all based on either entirely falsified history or falsely interpreted history.
This is incredibly frightening, I think. It's not even really necessarily frightening. It's like a, it's bothersome. It's extremely bothersome.
extremely bothersome. The reason why it is bothersome is why would you live a lie?
The reason why it is bothersome is why would you live a lie?
Right? If you are able to adjust a misinterpretation, you may do so immediately
because that's the thing you're going to do. And if it's been a very public thing, like say,
something that people remember and hold your word to, they'd be like,
oh yeah, I was fucking entirely wrong about this. It's actually like this.
And I'm sorry for all the times that I repeated this thing over there. I've done that in my
sci-fi auctioning. Somebody says something, I say something, and they say, oh, it's completely incorrect,
and we get down to the data of it, and they go, oh, fuck, that
was right. Damn.
Sorry about that, guys. We're gonna
adjust this immediately. It makes a lot more sense
than continuing on the
path of mistakes and making errors,
which is also why I like that I'm
going to stay
somewhat apolitical, and the only interface we'll
have with anything that's somewhat political
is me clowning on it effectively because it's ridiculous, right?
If things work, they work.
If they don't, they don't.
And I think that if you see everything through a lens of wanting to be tribal,
saying, hey, I belong to this tribe over here,
or I belong to that tribe over there,
you're going to lose immediately
because that tribe does not look out for you.
Right? That's the other thing.
They just have you in their back pocket, so to speak,
because they have your vote or some shit like that.
And you're trying to convince other people of that vote as well
because these are the people that supposedly support you.
But when it comes down to it, they'll abandon you.
They'll abandon you like that.
That's just not a real covenant
because that's a fake ideology.
You can't do fake ideology as a fake ideology is is bad like a real true covenant you know that's
that's a thing but politics is not a true covenant if anything it's blasphemous if you want to look
at it from the perspective if you wanted to look at it as a as a as a belief system it's actually
blasphemous if you really wanted to go down that route. You know, like, you can't just believe in things. You have to be, you have to understand things
and then make a quantitative,
a decision based on quantitative analysis,
true reasoning.
You can't just be political.
It doesn't make sense.
You can't just believe these things.
You can't just, like, listen to a guy
and hear how he, like, you know,
mouths off about all the things he's going to do
and then not look at his track record
of how well he has executed on those things
and go, oh, yeah, no, we don't give a fuck about that.
We're just going to believe it, take it for its word.
It's like, that doesn't make any sense, right?
There's also what I encourage people to do here as well
is take things that I say with a grain of salt.
That's another thing.
If you have independent thinking, it's good,
but don't be a dumb fuck contrarian about that.
Be a real person, not a fake person. Be a real person. That's great. Don't be like dumb fuck contrarian about that. Be a real person, not a fake person.
Be a real person.
That's great.
Don't be like one of those troll people
that all they do is create noise
because I'll fucking kick you immediately.
I don't have time for that.
You can be retarded elsewhere, not here.
That's kind of part of this.
We want signal curation
and we want things to make sense.
And that's why I keep shitting on these things
because I think it's hilariously stupid.
It's the same thing as this.
Like, you know, today,
and just again, right?
Olympics is on.
People post about how they see the symbology
and how much they hate it
and how much it's stupid and all this.
And I vastly agree.
Why are you watching it?
Why are you sitting down and watching it?
If you disagree with what you're seeing why don't you
turn it off stop complaining and turn it off it relies on the majority still watching it right
and look here's the thing if you like if you like watching aspects of it i understand that you know
sometimes it's kind of chill maybe you have like some sort of obsession with the sport because you
do it as a as a hobby or you know that's that's a thing you know occasionally skiing for instance
imagine like you like you do skiing that's the thing you do? Or you do snowboarding, do any of those things?
It does make a bit of sense.
You get some physical activity,
and you want to see how the best of the best perform, right?
Or how people that will be associated with your country perform,
because a lot of people, like, have an association.
So you look at that a little bit.
You have some fun.
Maybe you chill out a little bit, and you do a thing.
I personally wouldn't do it,
because I see it as completely irrelevant,
which it largely is.
But if you enjoy doing it, it makes a lot of sense.
But if this becomes your entire personality,
then you are stupid.
Like, if your entire personality, if you, like,
get the shirt of your favorite player,
wear that shit to a fucking stadium,
and unironically sit there,
cheer for another dude,
you are a cock.
It's called a sports cock, where your entire personality becomes a
thing you can never achieve. That's so stupid. That is legitimately stupid, right? That's the
thing. If you admire sports, you think it's interesting, it's difficult to achieve, absolutely
makes a ton of sense. I get that. I actually do get that. You want to see a pro golfer. You want
to see what the very peak of performance looks like. Maybe you're into golf yourself and use it
as a networking tool when you have a business discussion with other
businessmen. Right? And then you see a pro golfer and then you see how they do the thing. And you
may learn even something because you're actively executing on it. But if you're not doing that,
then what is the use? Right? Especially going to a stadium. Watching it on TV is kind of okay.
Aside from the ads, of course. There's like, there's a...
That is excusable in some form. But, going
there, you know, spending
all that time,
spending all that money, just to see
somebody else doing some shit and then
cheering on, it's like, well...
So what?
I still remember when I went to
Morocco, you know, and I went to Morocco you know
and they have like you know soccer or football
whatever you want to call it
this is another thing I hate about the whole idea
is that you have a sport where the ball
is not even around and is always held in the hand
and relies off of people ramming into each other
is called football
even though the foot will never touch it
and then the thing that's called soccer
which makes no fucking sense I don't know what that means
is not called football, even though it's
technically football, because it's an actual ball
that's round that will only be kicked by the foot
and the only time it will ever be touched by the hand
is by the goalkeeper
who by the way
doesn't throw it, he kicks it
it's like, okay, fair enough, you know, aside from
that stuff that bothers me that's kind of irrelevant, but I thought it was funny to mention, it's like, okay, fair enough. You know, aside from that stuff that bothers me,
that's kind of irrelevant.
But I thought it was funny to mention, that's why I mentioned it,
I guess, you know, entertainment.
But, like,
when I went to Morocco,
they would talk to me, and I will call it football, because I don't give a fuck,
so I'll call it football now.
They asked, like, I would mention
that I'm German, and they'd be like,
oh, football, immediately. That's the first thing I think about.
And it's funny because I had no idea
what the fuck they're talking about
because they've understood this.
See, and so this is the only time
that sports becomes relevant
because there'll be an interpretation of your country.
But I don't know any about this.
I would rather they remember something else.
But I mean, you have three options here for remembrance.
Actually, four options these days.
One, you remember Germany is inherently gay, right?
Because all the shit that's going on right there
and the population that refuses to stand up for itself,
which is insane and annoying, but that's what it is.
And as a German, I feel greatly annoyed by this myself,
or bothered, rather, I think is the best term.
terms. It bothers me so.
It bothers me so, but that's, you know, it's what it is.
But that's what it is. I don't live there.
I don't live there, and that's why I don't live there.
That's why I don't live there.
And the other
thing is that they remember you for your engineering.
They remember the past. They remember that
the diesel engine was created by it.
So they did the Carl Suse
created the first programmable computer.
Things like that. Or Wernher von Braun.
People remember Germany for that.
I'd rather they remember it for that.
Or you get Hitler, who's not even a German, he's Austrian.
They remember
Germany for a non-German. And then
you have sports.
So you take your pick. Out of those,
the least optimal,
actually
the one that's the most optimal
out of the shitty options would be sports, right?
Because if people remember you for a football team,
it makes a lot more sense than people remembering you
for some fucking crackhead Austrian painter, right?
That makes a lot more sense.
So that is the only time where I go,
okay, that's a positive experience in that way,
but I'd rather that they don't remember the people
or the achievements of a country by sports,
but rather by the real, actually relevant achievements,
like engineering
and inventions.
Most of these engines that are around you,
the diesel engines, they're some of the most
relevant engines of our time,
even to this day. Or the automotor,
any of these things. So much
technology came out of that place, but nobody
remembers. Nobody fucking remembers.
All the American car companies
are fucking European.
Americana my ass, right?
That's another aspect, right?
So there's an inherent aspect of like a lack of knowledge and delusion when it comes to these things, especially when it comes to these tribalistic things like, say, sports or strange, historically unknowledgeable interpretations of what a nation was and its people.
It's the same thing.
It goes hand in hand.
It goes very much hand in hand.
And I think that that's really, that needs to be corrected.
And the only way to correct it is to be knowledgeable and realize that that's in fact not a position.
That it's just defeat.
It is defeat.
I mean, you can take lessons of places that have been
around a lot longer than many countries these days like rome for instance and ask yourself
why the most inspiring of minds spoke of these things as negatives and why rome controlled the
controlled what a celebrity was by effectively making them a thing that acquired notoriety in almost ill-gotten means
right it's like these are these are these are means that are that are not genuine so like if
you have for instance a super famous celebrity these days like people worship them as if they
were gods which is stupid like why would you worship a person as if they were a god they are
a person not god right so to correct that you have to kind of say, okay, these people are just people and that they are like the thing, right?
They're not at the same level.
We'll never be at the same level of an elite because the way that they got their notoriety is almost in its...
It really does feel appropriate to say ill-gotten,
or that it is illegitimate,
because it largely is.
You can be the founder of TSMC,
or the person who currently runs TSMC.
This guy, 90-something years old,
people don't even know his name.
And yet, you know what the fuck Mariah Carey is
what the fuck does Mariah Carey do for you
they don't make your fucking computer chips
they don't make this shit in your phone
you should care about the guy who runs GSMC instead
right so that's the idea
that's the point
where you look at ancient civilizations and you know this is thousands of years ago so you may as well called
ancient where you have these methods of correction these aspects of correction to prevent the this
this this this this this uh strange influence from escaping a containment because fucking mariah carey or like justin bieber or olivia rodriguez or any of these
people should have zero zero fucking influence on anything these people are musicians they are
specialized in making certain sounds and understanding the general vibe of the time
but outside of that they're completely fucking useless. Completely useless. All of them.
Fuck their ideas.
Fuck all of the shit that they do.
You listen to their music, that's what they're good for.
It's epic, it's amazing.
I'm not a musician. Why the fuck would you
listen to me about music?
Because I'm not a musician. I would not be able to tell
you the thing. I could probably tell you what kind of vibe I'm after
and then you'd come up with a really good product
for a specific purpose, but realistically realistically speaking i'm not the one who's
making the music i go to the musician with this i tell him hey this is what i want you know why
because he's a musician but if somebody wants a quantitative analysis on a thing
then you come to me you don't go the musician, because what the fuck does he know?
Or she know?
Or everything in between know?
It doesn't matter.
These are not real things.
These are specializations.
And you go to them for what that specialization is.
You want music?
You go to a musician.
You want quantitative analysis?
You go to a quant.
You want a stage?
You come to me.
You want maybe some fresh ideas based on all these things?
You come to me as well,
because I'm very much of a generalist and i you know accrue people who themselves have
knowledge as i do or more because genuinely that's what i look for i look for things better
than myself in various respects so that's to kind of create a complementary network effect that then
creates a good uh well-reasoned objective useful knowledge that stands the test of time and reality, right?
That's the idea. You'd want that kind of thing.
But you're not going to get that out of worshipping, like, your fucking K-pop stars,
that I don't know if that's a dude or if that's a female.
At this point, it looks like it's both and neither.
And I'm so I'm like, okay, you know, whatever, right?
These people apparently, like like super worshipped and whenever there's like a or you get like the the
fucking what was that mcdoll's i'm not sure if it was mcdoll's or burger king one of the two
manufacturers as i like to call them um they created like this pink burger container that's
made out of fucking paper because of black pink right this fucking shithouse k-pop band that
doesn't sing it sounds like they sing but it
all sounds machine made you could probably like you know do this better with a machine and they
just dance around and they like they flash their bodies and shit because that's what people are
actually looking after not the fucking music right so this shit because this company then did the
thing people were buying the fucking paper dirty because a burger was inside of it. Fucking
burger containers
on eBay
for $300
a piece.
And then these
people want to complain about financial
inequality? Are you fucking stupid?
You just paid fucking $300
for a piece of shit paper burger container!
What are you complaining about, you socialist fuck? Jesus. jesus that is insane see this is what i'm saying like there's a
there's an aspect of delusion to this right this needs to be limited because when it gets out of
control you get this kind of shit like how do you get to the idea of that you buy base like actual literal garbage. You're buying literal trash
with your own money
that you sacrificed your life for.
You sacrificed your
lifetime for money, and
then you buy literal trash
with it.
What?
And you're going to want to tell me that you're
not mentally compromised.
This is the thing that I'm saying. It's like why I look at all this, and then people go ahead,
and they complain about some sort of cultural degradation. And I'm like, yeah, interesting
stuff. Well, see, you can have a cultural certainty, and you can have good things,
but you have to turn off the dumb things first. And soon as you propose I'll be like well that's a little too radical I'm like what you're proposing
is not rather like what you're proposing is not radical that's how it used to be
and we can be like that again but better this time because you're not we're gonna
be able to go back to the past because the past is the past this isn't it's
not gonna happen again it echoes yeah sure so it's good to be a version of
something that happened before but it's not gonna be like what happened before
maybe it's gonna be better maybe it's gonna be worse we have to adapt because you before but it's not going to be like what happened before maybe it's going to be better, maybe it's going to be worse, we have to adapt
because things have changed massively, we have more things than ever
before, we have technology, the average
person, like the fucking guy
in the middle of the South Pacific
on an island, in one of the worst economies
in that region
can be on a phone and talk to millions
of people, that's me
right, like this is amazing
we have these technologies now
we can do so much good stuff with them like i could have just like pivoted immediately to
politics and said a whole bunch of dumb horse shit and got like thousands and thousands of
listeners tuning in live every single day like some fucking nick fuentes guy who like flip flops
harder than every flop has ever flipped it's like okay you can do that right you can absolutely do
that and it will make you a ton of money but you it's this is you know you can do that, right? You can absolutely do that and it will make you a ton of money. But you can do so much cooler stuff with that.
You can like, you know, talk to people
who've actually built things,
who are actually achieving things,
who are actually making stuff.
And you won't find those people in the political circles.
You'll find them in circles like these.
You'll find them in the places
where objective conversations are taking place.
That is the nature of what this is.
It's always has been different
and people always try to like change it.
And they said, no, fuck off, you know, because one part of returning to something of value is to sometimes create something new of value and realizing from what was once valuable that then got destroyed through change, how you do not want that to change how you prevent certain aspects of change because change itself is good in many contexts, but not all contexts, right? Because let's say you have an established system with a certain set of rules,
and it worked out very well, and you have no issues,
and they say, why don't we bring this shit back in again?
It's like, well, this shit was kept out because that was the thing that caused a lot of issues.
But because, you know, you came into an age of tremendous abundance
and no consequences and all this kind of stuff,
you assumed that if you added things, it was not going to break the thing. When clearly that was the thing that would break it. It's a if it don't
broke, don't fix it type of situation. And if you see something that's broken, ask yourself what it
is and then fix that instead, instead of saying the whole thing is busted. It's like, okay, well,
what exactly is busted and how much of the other things are connected to it? So I have to have,
like, do I have to replace those as well or not? You know in case of my battery pack which recently got completely just to destroy i had
like lead acid batteries for like about six years and they completely just got completely like
absolute abysmal dog shit completely gone garbage trash fucking have like half a ton of batteries
completely useless had to all be exchanged now we have two lithium ion packs, right? They charge at like fucking
10, 20 times the speed, hold more capacity. Now, of course, it's a 10 kilowatt over a 20 kilowatt
because I live on the fucking bridge of like edge of technology base. It's fucking insane.
But you know, the whole system looked at it was unfixable. So you had to replace it. Initially,
we thought, oh, we'll just replace the batteries. Nope. They're all fucking fucked. Okay, fine.
Fuck it. We'll just replace the whole thing it's like okay well you can't just
say okay get rid of the entire battery like the the concept of a battery pack replaced what a
battery pack is but it's like the same thing with the system like in itself and then the cells still
work right even though they're like several years old it's like these things still work so inherently
like they're aspects that are broken but not everything is broken that's why like i always
hear this general uh thing that people say They say that the system is broken.
And I'm like, that is actually not true.
There are elements within the system that are busted,
or at least there are misaligned things.
And so because of this, what ends up happening is
you have a misdiagnosis of the actual problem.
Right?
Because it doesn't matter.
Like, it's not that
a system is inherently broken, it's that things inside of it are broken. And that's the thing,
right? That's the thing that needs to be addressed. That's the thing that needs to be fixed.
And so, like, you got to diagnose what's really going on, instead of just saying,
oh, hey, or want this instead, right? Because, you know, there's very little awareness on it,
or like, learning from the past, how things things were broken and how you can fix them.
Or if they can't be fixed, replace them with something that is similar to the thing that came before but is better.
Like, hey, concept of a battery pack.
This one was lead acid.
Now you exchanged it with lithium.
Still a battery pack, but it's a wildly different system.
It's the thing.
You can make something that's newer and you can make something that's better and then ask yourself how you can retain its quality and if you need to replace that in the future as well.
But inherently speaking, these systems are still the same, right?
Because the system itself isn't necessarily broken or the concept of the system isn't necessarily broken.
It's how it's being executed upon.
That is the aspect that is broken.
So I don't really like, I don't understand a lot of the time the people when they go, oh, is it every government is rotten?
It's like, no, it's not the government itself.
There's a people in it a lot of the times that are rotten.
This is very clear because the systems are systems, right?
Even if you were to say, let's have something that's really beneficial.
Let's say you know that the economy is going to shit,
but you've collected a lot of money and you can help people out.
And so now you spend money on food to give to people right you then because you want to cheap out redefine what nutrition is so that you can
save money by the way that's actually what happened in the united states the idea of nutrition the
inversion of the food pyramid which is completely insane And I've been saying for many years,
that's completely insane before it became cool. I took a rash of fucking shit for four years
saying all of this fucking shit. And now because some health secretary somewhere shouts that shit
from the rooftop. Now it's cool. Right. It took a rash of shit for fucking four years, but I was
right. Right. Because of course it's data driven decisions. I'm not going to say anything that's
like objectively stupid. So now we have the real food pyramid back.
But initially, this was done because they wanted to save money on fucking food stamps.
So this is the thing.
The idea is great, but the execution is horrible.
That's the thing.
You say, okay, well, then you have free food for people who are troubled.
There's other issues with this as well that we can get into.
But let's say that was your mission, provide nutrition to people right for free it's like okay cool you
can definitely do that but if you wanted to save money you'll now have to redefine what nutrition
is and make it worse make it worth less of itself not worth less entirely although basically it is
um but make it worth less of itself and then on top of that you can have like okay well there's
no true accountability as to how that's being executed, how the food stamps work and all those types of things,
where then you have like some super next level,
like fucking fat ass bitch that fills out two seats of a fucking airplane, right?
This motherfucker complains about the fact that they don't get their food stamps in recording this conversation with an iPhone 17.
I don't even have an iPhone 17.
And I have a job.
Like, what the fuck?
You know?
So this is not that the system is broken.
It's that the execution is done badly.
On all fronts.
First of all, the food fucking sucks.
And second of all,
the way it's being allocated sucks as well.
And it doesn't address the real issue.
And the real issue is employment.
And that a lot of people are stupid.
Right? Because a lot of them are fucking grifters you got like the fucking guy who's got five kids whose entire like mission is to scam the government and they succeed
and they then complain about stuff and then people listen go oh wow this is insane man
this guy has five kids and he doesn't get food. I'm like,
bro doesn't even go to work.
How the fuck does he have five kids?
He didn't have, like,
he was already on assistance
before he had even one, but now
he has five because he's getting so much assistance.
And probably even
has those five because the system
is set up in such a way where
if you do do you get more
assistance is someone gonna fucking look into that which is ironic by the way because that's
what's happening in america and i'm not even in america or an american citizen and yet i still
pay taxes so yes i do actually get to complain about a little bit of that right because i think
it's hilarious right i think it's hilarious that the person will never get any benefits back because
you know obviously right um like sees these lazy motherfucking people who are unproductive as shit getting like aid and
truly speaking i think that when we see a lot of these things there's always this idea that the
economy is getting worse and i would argue that the economy is actually not bad enough because
as long as people are willing to pay for dog shit like only fans willing to pay 300 for a fucking
garbage container like a piece of garbage which is like a burger container and there's enough aid to go around to even the absolutely useless people then the economy is not
bad enough clearly it's not bad enough yet right but it will get worse because this kind of stuff
can't go on infinitely do you think like people are willing to keep paying into like various
systems if like all they they do is get scammed by unproductive motherfuckers like you're gonna
have a personal problem at some point right me I just continue working because I don't have a fucking choice,
obviously.
Some other people will be like, hmm, maybe I'll just go
elsewhere and just take my business elsewhere, which
is basically what happens. You have manufacturing happening elsewhere,
all the talent goes to different places,
stuff like that. It's not going to happen immediately,
by the way, but it will happen at certain
levels relatively quickly.
AI is a thing that automates a lot of things,
corrections everywhere, which I think is really interesting and i think in some ways important right there's
important for for there to be a little bit of a correction right but yeah you know
Also, if ever you wondered why the FDA has strange assessments of products that are sold, it's largely because the FDA doesn't actually do anything, really.
It doesn't really do anything itself. It more so relies on companies studying their own product and then submitting
that to the FDA. And if they don't comply with either submitting this thing or with the things
that they've submitted, what ends up happening is that they get a massive fine. And then that fine
is added on to the budget of the FDA. So their budget grows bigger over time, even though they basically do
none of the work. They're just an enforcement agency that says, you're going to make new
product, you better study how your product functions or we will fuck you. That makes a lot
of sense. It's understandable. It's like how drugs work. And then even though there's lots of
inconsistency on that, where you had this one this one case of like even the covid19 vaccine which was not properly vetted
uh just you know gaining approval even though it was experimental right that's what that was their
push they stretched the approval thing to experimental which i think was ill-gotten as
well should never have been authorized because it's fucking ridiculous and untested uh and they
said oh it's emergency it's like okay well your emergency just fucked like millions of people
now what you're gonna pay up no that's right because he's made oh, it's emergency. It's like, okay, well, your emergency just fucked like millions of people. Now what? You're going to pay up? No, that's right. Because he's made everybody sign it off as fucking experimental. And then if they took it themselves, this was at their own volition, even though clearly was fucking not because a lot of states and a lot of companies made it so that the vaccine was required. So we were effectively forcing people. There's no other stretch to that, right? So, you know, there's there are aspects where even though the system of like the FDA makes a lot of sense, there are the misalignments like those that is that is a misalignment that should not have occurred.
And even though the standards are pretty rigorous with a lot of drugs, and a lot of drugs are in
fact pretty good, make no mistake, that was one of the times where there was actually inconsistency
with enforcement, inconsistency with regulation, that was inconsistent, that should have never
happened. Right. So that was the that was the that was the expression of something that's broken,
right. So company itself is a little bit rotten not just necessarily the system and then they come up
with things that are you know not really true and then somebody else might come up and be like hey
FDA by the way that guy what they're what they're what they're giving you that company is completely
false put that in and then there's enforcement and that's great that's exactly what should happen
right and then but then you have like misalignments so in and of itself you can't even say that the
FDA is like all that much of
a bad thing.
It's actually pretty important.
And they're actually doing, uh, quite an impressive job.
It's just that if you have people that steer things in a specific direction, it tends to
be a misaligned with reality.
And that then causes issues like, you know, malnutrition and, uh, you know, people just
getting fat like crazy because they're eating stuff that really shouldn't like beaten in
those volumes because like companies are just not really shouldn't, like, beaten in those volumes.
Because, like, companies are just not really, they don't really give a shit about those types of things.
They'll just, like, make money off people and keep them alive long enough for them to be economically beneficial to whatever that company is and whatever they manufacture.
So they can buy more of it so that the customer doesn't die immediately.
Right?
It's, like, makes a lot of sense.
Right?
From their perspective, if you wanted to take it from the perspective of just money,
it's because it's ridiculous.
It's actually ridiculous, but that's
how the world works.
Yeah.
Funny I see how that works out.
I gotta give myself some...
I gotta eat at some point.
I was gonna turn on the fucking air con here.
But yeah.
It's good to have power again, I will say that.
Which is why I was able to stream last night.
So that's pretty cool.
That's pretty epic.
Yeah, man.
It's a while since we streamed.
Yeah, yeah, it is.
We're probably gonna, like, I can't wait for, like, Halo to come out.
That's one of those things.
I think that in general, video games can be an absolute waste of time
but if you play them well, it can
be very productive, it's nice with your friends
and you can have a bit of chill time.
I think that people should have
good distractions here and there, things that are good
for your hand-eye coordination. Don't play these weird
geisha slop games
or some dog shit. That's just
stupid. Don't do that. Play some real shit.
Play a few shooter strategy games.
Play fucking... Dude, if you want to play
something, you want to give a kid something that's insane to play,
give him fucking Factorio, man.
That shit is awesome. Don't even give him Fortnite. Give him fucking
Factorio. That shit is amazing.
And if you want to do inoculation
theory, you gotta give him Call of Duty
so they realize how shit people are.
You know, and then they have a bit of thick skin
and see how well that works out.
Although that's a little bit,
that's a case by case basis
because not everybody has the same mind
and they may not take it in as much the same way.
I can only say like, you know,
off the things that I've experienced
out of Call of Duty and like the trash talk
usually I have like in a Modern Warfare 2 lobby
or some shit is like, that's just, that's just awesome.
I'm gonna be real with you.
Like it's kind of hilarious.
It was the good kind of insulting.
Where it was like insanely stupid.
Really shit.
But if you took that seriously you were stupid.
Today it's more like...
Today it's just dumb people doing even dumber things.
And saying stuff that's just noise.
Where you're turning it off because it's just bothersome to listen to.
As opposed to back then it was actually entertaining. To hear what kind of trash talk was going to come out of
the microphone of somebody else is going to say oh he's going to say like the n-word 15 fucking
times okay big deal right and today it's just some dumb fucking guy who speaks at twice the speed of
like rap god eminem and says a bunch of dumb ass insulting things about what shape your forehead is
i'm sorry you are a dumb
motherfucker. Please log off and uninstall the game and never touch a computer again.
Your brain rot is the downfall of the civilization, you absolute fucking dumb fuck, bro. Shit.
Like, that is just insane. Like, I'd rather have a fucking guy in the game talk some insane smack than have somebody like that in a game talking
dumb smack insane smack is better than dumb smack because at least you can laugh about it because
it's actually funny that's like actually funny you know where somebody like complains about spawn
dying and then they can they compare it to getting getting getting skull fucked by a big black guy named Raquise,
you know,
like that doesn't like,
that doesn't make any sense.
That's,
that's like,
you listen to that and you go,
did he just say that?
And then you laugh because it's ridiculous,
right?
That kind of trash talk is like the best for inoculation.
But that's like largely gone.
Now I just have like anti-social psychotic motherfuckers,
especially in extraction shooters.
It's really bad.
But yeah, if you wanted to give a kid a good video game
Don't give them fortnight because it's just like hyper saturated brain rots or completely stupid
The only time anyone would need to play that is because I don't know it's like whatever
I don't get really the idea why anybody plays that just doesn't make any sense
But okay, you know you do that. That's that's gonna be your thing
But realistically just get and play Factorio, maybe some Halo,
because Halo is like, kind of like one-dimensional by process
and three-dimensional by execution.
So you have to understand certain types of mechanics,
and you also have to know how physics works in certain ways,
and then you actually play the game very, very well,
which is why I actually really love the game, because it works out very well.
You know, and there's some omissions to physics where like your car flies a shit ton but if you understand how all these
omissions function you have a good knowledge of the system it becomes a lot of fun much like
minecraft is also very similar in this way because it's a you know it's a kind of a simulator um and
that's why i like people they play mods uh like you know you have like uh the sky factory is like
a factorio uh but if it was in minecraft
it's very similar in that regard yeah so like these kinds of things are a good thing to play
because it relies off planning and procedure especially factorio like realize off that you
actually end up being pretty smart when you come out of it if you know what you're doing and
yeah so outside of that like even though i usually talk about the things that waste time
and things that people shouldn't do, uh, video games,
they must be good games. Like, play
that, and whatever the fuck you do, don't play
dumb shit like Animal Crossing
or some stuff, like, what the fuck? Or like,
just, or like some racing
game, because that just, ugh.
You know, just fucking play something that's actually
productive, that rewires your brain chemistry
in just the right way. You know, that's not really gonna
rewire your brain chemistry, of course like you know do it in moderation you know
play some fucking factory whatever you know play lesser versions of that if you must like
interstellar pilots or something like that if you if you don't have any money and you have like an
android phone or some shit and you want to play some game that's like kind of kind of good in
that regard it requires some level of planning that's kind of easy. Just play fucking Interstellar Pilot.
That shit's good. If you legitimately
have almost nothing, like you're coming in from
a really bad country yourself,
you're coming in from a third world country, you're probably listening
to that space, and you have a little Android phone that overheats
from the fucking space, because it's shit.
It's true. And you want to play a game that's
actually quite nice, play that. That's good.
It'll work on almost any device.
It's small, it's easy,
pretty two-dimensional, but it's kind of
three and four-dimensional by execution.
Play that. There's options
for everything, and people should consider
how that's productive for them.
And yeah, it's pretty fun.
You see the DLC
that Minecraft is promoting? It's called
Good Trouble. Oh yeah, that's dumb shit.
Hey guys, why don't we just put some propaganda
in the autistic block game?
What?
Dude, it was so badly received too.
It was so badly received too.
It was hilarious seeing all this.
I think they actually stoked the racist fire
more with this action
than if they did absolutely nothing.
Who the fuck wants propaganda in their
block game who gives a fuck needs to be out of video who gives a flying fuck it's a block game
they're trying to indoctrinate the kids into like political beliefs yeah like what what do you mean
good trouble what the fuck are you talking about a lot of that shit is misrepresented history
anyways complete bullshit you're gonna fucking feed this and then like create some radicalization What do you mean good trouble? What the fuck are you talking about? A lot of that shit is misrepresented history anyways.
Complete bullshit.
And you're going to fucking feed this.
And then create some radicalization.
Are you insane?
Yeah.
That's a fucking stupid.
Just go in there and build with blocks, man.
That's it.
And if you must, improve the fucking game and not add more slop to it.
Microsoft, you have one fucking job.
Stop being political, you giga-racist corporation
that discriminates against entire fucking geographies, okay?
Fix that first, then you can talk about signaling.
Like, if you actually fix that, if you can provide every single corner of the earth
outside of, like, government-sanctioned countries,
if you can do this shit, then you can talk about inclusivity.
Outside of that, you can shut the fuck up, sit in your little fucking corner, and unrape windows for me.
Then we can talk. Then you can have a discussion about that kind of shit. That's like the least
priority. The least priority should be politics, but you know, that's what it is. That's why I like
speak to a negative. I'm deeply annoyed, I think. Like, not even just, like, that is really the
thing. I'm deeply annoyed by the whole concept of this. I'm like, ever since, ever since like 2025, everything is like hyper politicized in one direction or another. And you
can't have any objective conversation about anything with anyone. And it really started
to piss me off. It's like everyone's politics are shit at this point. I can't talk to, I can't talk
to a bunch of people about, about manufacturing and bringing talent in because they're anti
immigration. I'm like, I understand this, but what you don't understand is you need like these guys over here
not all these guys i understand that i i completely side with you on this one and it makes a lot of
sense but also these guys we need these guys specifically it's like why don't we just get to
get the people who are already there i'm like what people with what talent what are you talking about
how these people don't even know what the fuck they're doing not for this process no right like
i'm talking about the people who are going to be like
like
absolute experts that come straight
out of like China who've like
worked in a factory for like 10 years
bringing them over and implement that same factory process
you know wherever you're
at like that's what I'm talking about
you float that idea the right's going to start
fucking hating you it's like okay great
you know then you want to talk about the capitalist
aspect of that. Then the left starts hating you.
I'm like, can you both just get a grip?
Like, just
get a grip. Seriously, get a fucking grip, stop it,
and just, like, let's talk about the stuff that's
like really matters. Like, this is just
so stupid. Then you get, like, the
least religious people
freaking out about how there's, like, occult symbols
and shit. I'm like, wow. aren't you guys late to the game again?
And you got some fucking flat earther
talking about some like interpretation
of stuff that's in the Bible.
And you go, what is that that you're doing?
How about you actually look into it a little bit deeper
and realize what the metaphors were all about?
And maybe you'll start to learn something
because right now you're not really getting there.
So it's like, isn't that funny? You get like the holier-than-thou people are all
dishonorable motherfuckers who are annoying as shit, who betray the very principles that they
signal, right? You got the people who are like obsessed with occultist symbols, who are completely
not religious at all. Like they believe in some absolute dumb fucking hippie ascension fuck
stuff. Like, whenever I hear somebody open their mouth about this stuff, that's like the other
aspect of the side. It's like, it's a sideless form of dipshit politics that I deeply detest,
because they don't know what the fuck they're talking about. They don't need, they don't know
the numbers, they don't know the physics, they don't know the math, they don't know any of the
bits, but want to talk about fucking ascension and have some sort of hippified version of Buddhism that
they also don't understand. It's like, what is this kind of shit? So everybody's got like an issue
and it's become exceedingly difficult to be objective about things because you'll just
immediately go into those places and go, well, I think this is about freeing the mind. No,
says the most enslaved person on the planet. Like, okay, cool. Yeah, sure. That's like,
you're enslaved by some sort of dipshit ideology,
but you want to say you're free.
Cool. I see how that works.
It's like, this is the current state of things.
And then the other end of this is the hyper-technologist guys
who say every single week that AGI is coming.
It's not!
Keep moving the goalposts.
It's like, bro, it's, bro, maybe in 5-10 years,
you're going to get a system that's pretty
general in its intelligence,
but you're going to have to define what intelligence is by utility.
So maybe in like 5-20 years.
5 years is the earliest,
20 years is the latest. That's when we're going to get the system.
That's going to be great.
But you can't just say every single week
that this is AGI, because it's clearly not.
And I can tell, because when usually I deal with a with a general like when i do a problem which requires general understanding
of the thing and i take it to the non-understanding database machine and i say here's my problem it
goes wow i haven't seen this before i am fucked needs help and i'm like great and so i just have
to still sit down do hours of fucking research and like go through unoptimized shit house fucking software
and then get there.
And I'm like, yeah, the AGI is definitely here, guys.
100%.
Like it's just glorified Google search,
which is great, by the way.
I mean, the search has definitely improved
as long as you don't do Boolean search
because that's kind of just like, you know,
gone down to shit.
But like AI search is actually pretty beneficial.
I like that.
It's good for documentation, all those things.
So it's made my life a lot easier.
So if we're going to be realistic about all these things, we actually
call out all of the bullshit first so we can
actually agree upon what's actually the issue.
And that's kind of like what's going on here.
And then the next thing after that, once you've
acquired a decent understanding
of all the
issues, you can then work on cognitive security
as well as
operative security and realize who your friends really are, you know, stuff like that.
Because that's another thing, because like, there's a lot of signal, like there's lots of
signaling, but not enough signal, and lots of virtue signaling itself, but very little virtue,
right? Like, imagine you have like a friend, and they've known you for like two years,
and then somebody's like trying to counsel you you and they do jack shit to defend you.
I'm like, ah, I see how it really is.
That's the moment you go like, okay, you know what?
Maybe this guy's fucking retarded
and they're not your friend.
You know, stuff like that.
It's a time where you have to consider
what is actually signal and what is noise.
And that's kind of the state which I am in,
which leads to a very interesting i think
entertaining outcome here in this way that i kind of like shit on this whole like weird pre-established
concept of stuff you know in the way that i do in the way that's also like objective right so
like you get this this thing which a lot of people find um like it's in some form like there's an
impact here where people say well that's rude to say but i, like, it's in some form, like, there's an impact here where
people say, well, that's rude to say, but I'm like, well, it's the truth, though, right? You want to
care about truth, you want to care about maximizing it, well, here's your truth, and if you don't like
it, that's a skill issue, because you gotta solve for it, and coping is not a solution, that is not
even a bandage, and if it is a bandage, that wound hasn't been disinfected yet, and you're gonna have
to do that before you slap the bandage on.
You can address some of the issues first, which is the infection.
Then you can slap the fucking band-aid on it.
A clean band-aid, might I add.
And then you can let the rest of it worry about the healing bit.
And how you're going to make sure that the wound doesn't get fucked up during the healing process.
That's realistically how things are going to need to be in the process of that.
It's kind of grueling and requires some aspect of what people would consider to be
rude, or stuff that would be saddening. But realistically speaking, I don't think there's a
place for that. And people need to like, kind of wake up from this, and realize there's lots of
false bullshit out there. And not everything is like, inherently good or evil. And that there's
like a lot of there's a lot of game, there's a lot of game to be gamed
and that it can be part of it and it can be fun
and outside of that I think it's just going to be
entertaining
a shit
but the best thing you can do is to
just call shit out that's shit, like objectively
shit and not get psyoped into any
particular political position
for instance, I think as well, that's another aspect
like
staying outside of that means you're going to shit on every side because every side is dumb any particular political position, for instance, I think as well. That's another aspect.
Staying outside of that means you're going to shit on every side.
Because every side is dumb.
That's realistically what it is.
Because if you're devout to a side, you're almost godless, man.
Because how do you do that? How do you take the lesser of the less ideology
and choose to worship that over something that's
divine. How the fuck do you live with that? That's crazy, man. So like, yeah, well, shit on it.
The same thing with the centrist too, right? This is the thing. And it was funny because I still
remember like what destiny was saying, uh, all those we had we had him on a space and he was complaining about the centrists
right he was like saying that this is just kind of stupid you know say that the centrists he was
kind of complaining about it more in the sense that you know people had like positions but they
claimed to be a centrist even though they weren't i would complain about it differently and say
that most centrists stand for nothing like what do you stand for what is your fight
you like you have people that either stand for
one of the things that could work and then have to live a life of dysfunction or you don't live
at all and you stand for nothing i'm like what kind of fucking life is this you gotta fight for
something something maybe yourself you know some sort of principle that's actually good for the
greater whole because that's what you have to do as a human you're still part of something even
though your society is shithouse right you still have to do something you have to do as a human. You're still part of something, even though your society is shithouse, right? You still have to do something.
You got to do your parts.
You got to do a good thing.
Don't be dumb.
Don't be annoying.
You know, don't join those like stupid protests that don't mean anything.
Don't become a stop oil protester
that deserves to be run over and beaten to shit.
Like don't, don't be that.
Don't be that.
Don't be any of those things.
Don't be a terrorist.
Be someone who's constructive.
Be, be, Be the ADHD autistic guy
who rants about numbers and shit
that make a whole bunch of funny things
happen. Talk about
manufacturing. Think about manufacturing.
Think about the realistic
logistics of things.
That's fucking awesome.
Think about that instead over whatever tweet
or whatever they call
it over there on two social gets sent out by Donald Trump
but you like obsess over because it's full of bullshit
you know
and then like and then stuff like
what happened in
in late 24 and early 25
where people were going
like here's an event that happens
they go I am radicalized
I'm like okay in three weeks you will
be forgetting all of that and you'll pivot to the next thing because I'm like, okay. In three weeks, you will be forgetting all of that,
and you'll pivot to the next thing.
Because I'm like, what are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
Radicalized in what sense?
What are you radicalized about specifically?
That something bad has happened,
and you're willing to call it out?
Yeah, it's pretty good, but you can't say,
oh, I'm angry and I'm radicalized,
because you're not going to do anything. You're going to live exactly like you did before.
You will change absolutely nothing about your life or your environments, because if you can't
change something about your life and then your environments, you're not going to really be going
anywhere. You can't say that you're radical. And you just kind of sit in place faster and you just
complain about everything, but you don't complain about it in an entertaining way. You complain
about it in an annoying way, right? Like at least when I complain about something, but you don't complain about it in an entertaining way. You complain about it in an
annoying way. At least when I complain
about something, I like to make it entertaining
because I think it's hilarious more so
than it is annoying.
I will say the most insane bullshit
that you can conceive of,
a la Modern Warfare 2 style in this kind of sense,
much more family-friendly,
but I will still say it.
But ironically enough, it makes sense
because it's the kind of assessment
of the situation where you go,
here are a set of solutions.
Here's how I solve that problem for myself.
And here are a bunch of problems
that I am not able to solve
because these are societal issues.
I go, okay, well, you know,
what can you do for yourself at least?
Retain sanity and try to do something productive,
I guess, right?
Not just for society, but for yourself.
Like first and foremost,
if your society does not represent you, you work for yourself now, right? Not just for society, but for yourself. Like, first and foremost, if your society does not represent you,
you work for yourself now, right? And you work for
whatever you believe in. And you best hope that
that thing is God, right?
You know, something that is divine in nature. So,
yeah, that's kind of, like, usually how
that all goes. Which I also hope that
people kind of, well, not really hope,
but I think that's something that's reasonable
that people should kind of go towards as well.
Because you need to, like to get in touch with your spirit
and being one of those ascension hippies
is not going to do it for you
because that's largely bullshit.
Actually go through the scripture.
Don't follow some random fucking YouTuber on that shit.
Read it yourself.
If you need some interpretation,
there's a lot of databases to help you out.
You can learn more about this shit than ever before at a speed far more rapid than at pretty much any other point in
human history so you can have like you can have knowledge that is adjacent to a monk so why don't
you do that instead like if you were to focus all this conspiracy bullshit for instance on something
that's actually productive as opposed to like predictions that are wrong 60% of the time
because there's like so much noise where people want to make up
their own conspiracies they're all just made up
they're not even logical right you get like
maybe 30% maybe
40% that are logical and that work out
and you get like 60-70%
that are all fucked up
nice first numbers by the way 6-7
another one of those
fucking memes.
I love how people complain about that, too.
I think it's funny.
Because for many, many decades, we've had the 69 meme.
Everybody laughs about that, but when the kids come up with their own thing, go 6-7, then everybody has a problem.
Like, bro, okay.
That's kind of disrespectful.
Like, let the kids have some fun, right?
You know?
Let them have their own number, right?
It's stupid and have a little fun brain rot.
On that note, a fun brain rot, I'm going to go and play some Minecraft in a little bit.
I'm going to go and head into the Advanced Members VC of my Discord server.
Up at the top right there, you can see that.
You can see the little link. Go click that. Join.
Don't spam or you'll be kicked immediately.
And yeah, if you want to join the VC, you're going to have to subscribe.
So thank you all for coming.
We will be back again next week. As always,
same time, same place.
Have a wonderful weekend.
And the stream is coming soon, so
stay tuned. Join the link
up at the top. Bye-bye. Thank you.
