WEBVTT

00:02.340 --> 00:02.820
Apologize

00:05.940 --> 00:13.290
Apologize very small so I do these fucking things to you know

00:14.770 --> 00:37.560
So all they say so what is the natural to these people is very unnatural is what I'm trying to say

00:38.660 --> 00:44.100
And in speaking with my Polish housemate with we spoke about the radar of caution and

00:45.420 --> 00:46.920
in the younger generation now

00:48.100 --> 00:48.580
post

00:49.740 --> 00:53.460
Millennial post-millennials they don't have them

00:54.760 --> 01:00.160
You know and it's because we don't have you know these

01:01.140 --> 01:01.640
elements

01:02.780 --> 01:05.500
Human nature over time

01:06.520 --> 01:07.820
conforms to

01:11.260 --> 01:13.720
The ingredients has been given

01:15.980 --> 01:20.140
The olden societies were a societies of like simple and honest living

01:21.620 --> 01:33.140
Simple and honest living where in comfort danger was always kept at the back of the mind

01:34.060 --> 01:34.960
but now

01:36.100 --> 01:39.420
Comfort even comfort has been weaponized, you know

01:40.260 --> 01:46.880
And it goes back to the human nature. What is it that allows people to be awake and see things or see these things?

01:48.580 --> 01:50.800
And what is it that allows people to not?

01:52.740 --> 01:53.380
Conversely

01:55.240 --> 02:00.380
What is it that allows people to not only know but to act upon what they see

02:00.380 --> 02:10.220
And that's a very difficult thing. It's true

02:11.320 --> 02:13.880
Not everyone has the mind for it

02:15.360 --> 02:20.100
Not just in acting upon like what you know, but in

02:21.360 --> 02:23.960
In learning or absorbing these things goes

02:25.360 --> 02:29.220
These things are heavy on the mind it's heavy on the spirit

02:33.500 --> 02:35.160
It's part of the hero's journey

02:36.920 --> 02:41.720
But the first step is always the hardest because when you step into that

02:45.520 --> 02:46.000
Journey

02:47.940 --> 02:51.380
From the get-go the sacrifice has to be made

02:52.020 --> 03:05.630
You can't serve two masters and in speaking with a Jamaican

03:07.250 --> 03:10.890
Gentleman today he said the same thing

03:12.950 --> 03:18.170
And the people don't know they are being weaponized by deep programming cultural programming

03:19.950 --> 03:26.730
Without knowing its origins and its pathways and its many variations and where it's going and

03:27.710 --> 03:29.210
how it's being controlled and

03:29.770 --> 03:32.890
further kind of like refined into

03:34.670 --> 03:40.350
Being passed down to the next generation and it can only get worse, you know

03:43.390 --> 03:57.470
It's deep my conclusion is this

03:59.280 --> 04:01.870
Deep down inside of people there's

04:04.040 --> 04:05.280
The potential

04:07.540 --> 04:09.000
The potential

04:11.400 --> 04:18.600
But the potential gets lost along the way either through you know external forces or

04:19.780 --> 04:22.560
You know internal perversion

04:26.600 --> 04:32.680
If the perversion is deep and wide and broad it's very hard to reverse

04:35.560 --> 04:36.280
But

04:36.280 --> 04:43.200
If the perversion has not really sunk its roots too deeply into the

04:44.000 --> 04:45.200
Hearts of men

04:46.600 --> 04:50.520
Or the hearts of the people there's a chance to turn it around

04:52.440 --> 04:56.080
And humanity has had many many opportunities

04:57.840 --> 05:02.860
To come to that crossroad with all the crises that have happened before

05:03.780 --> 05:06.920
In the last hundred years two hundred three hundred

05:08.000 --> 05:10.760
Five hundred a thousand years wherever, you know

05:12.480 --> 05:24.520
Still the same and in speaking with my Polish housemate I

05:25.600 --> 05:28.980
Realized deep down in the Polish people they worry is

05:29.740 --> 05:31.040
so automatically

05:31.900 --> 05:33.920
these people are defiant and

05:35.700 --> 05:36.960
It's good to know there's a

05:38.520 --> 05:39.960
group of a

05:39.960 --> 05:40.720
nation of people

05:41.640 --> 05:44.400
that have not given up the

05:45.240 --> 05:50.080
Sense of caution and I do believe Confucius said this

05:51.400 --> 05:55.340
And I think it's somewhere in the Yi in the in the I Ching I think it's a

05:56.900 --> 06:01.220
Either in hexagram 47 oppression one oppression or

06:04.220 --> 06:09.980
Hexagram 39 limping or some shit like I can't remember but Confucius said this was supposedly a

06:12.040 --> 06:14.280
Man in comfort must must remember danger

06:14.280 --> 06:19.780
You know and of course a man in danger must remember hope

06:20.420 --> 06:21.720
I'm paraphrasing

06:22.600 --> 06:26.640
But now when I look upon things and look upon the people and look upon like the way

06:27.520 --> 06:28.240
life is

06:29.020 --> 06:31.220
especially in the in the metropolitan kind of like

06:32.720 --> 06:34.600
Bobbles all that shit's been shut down

06:35.860 --> 06:37.520
So I don't blame the people

06:38.540 --> 06:43.280
Especially my true the friends. I'm about to cut a fart right here. Oh shit. That was a silent one

06:43.280 --> 06:45.700
I was hoping I was hoping it would make some noise

06:46.220 --> 06:46.620
anyway

06:48.820 --> 06:54.260
All my true the friends that I've met along the way since you know coming to terms with the whole convict shit

06:54.260 --> 07:03.080
And a lot of people have dropped off from my sphere or I've moved away or I used to blame them. I

07:03.080 --> 07:03.580
Don't anymore

07:06.100 --> 07:09.660
I used to blame them because if you're not part of the solution you part of the problem

07:09.660 --> 07:10.540
That's how I used to think

07:12.420 --> 07:12.820
Now

07:15.760 --> 07:18.920
And I thank my Polish housemate and the Jamaican

07:19.580 --> 07:23.380
All the gentlemen that reminded me in the last couple of days

07:24.220 --> 07:40.640
You just got to leave them to it, but it's hard man because knowing like

07:41.160 --> 07:44.480
What is going down? How can you leave people to?

07:45.380 --> 07:46.920
Just stand in the line of fire

07:50.780 --> 07:53.940
Try to shake people out their black store their black cloud

07:54.680 --> 08:05.040
Hell holes and they don't want to come out you give people your time and you hope you have high expectations for yourself

08:05.980 --> 08:08.520
In serving these people and in the end they

08:09.220 --> 08:10.280
They don't need your help

08:11.400 --> 08:12.720
That's life, you know

08:14.040 --> 08:16.700
You don't want your help. That's all right. That's life, you know

08:17.580 --> 08:18.640
But the sadness

08:20.260 --> 08:21.520
That fills you right here

08:25.100 --> 08:28.340
So I asked these two people my housemate and

08:29.260 --> 08:36.080
The old Jamaican gentlemen what what can we do man like I'm a youngster your you guys are old

08:37.120 --> 08:40.980
You know the new world is for us

08:42.400 --> 08:47.280
To try to navigate it doesn't belong to us, but the new world belongs to like these

08:49.160 --> 08:57.320
Matrix system people in the system world, but what do we do man? How do we how do we how do we navigate this, you know

09:00.200 --> 09:02.460
And the answer from these two gentlemen is

09:03.740 --> 09:05.140
It's difficult to plan

09:05.700 --> 09:10.120
But we have to try and navigate as best we can and the remedy

09:11.940 --> 09:14.540
Not just the legal remedy but the remedy in

09:15.380 --> 09:16.200
trying to

09:16.920 --> 09:18.300
tap back into the proper

09:19.340 --> 09:23.400
Natural instincts or the natural elements or the natural aspects of a person

09:24.140 --> 09:28.160
Has to go back to that. I mean the easiest entry point would be the cultural

09:29.260 --> 09:34.160
Aspects like you know every time I speak to my Polish housemate. He comes out the whole

09:35.500 --> 09:36.740
Truth kind of like

09:37.440 --> 09:41.920
Crisis ease from the war side of things. That's how he was brought up. That's his culture

09:41.920 --> 09:46.920
You know, that's the Polish culture. They've been they've been warriors and fighters like a long time

09:48.180 --> 09:49.000
You know

09:51.700 --> 09:52.980
That's just one example

09:56.900 --> 10:02.860
So living our cultures and going back to our cultures is the perfect entry point

10:03.900 --> 10:06.900
Maybe you find yourself in another country

10:08.580 --> 10:13.340
Maybe you were born in that country or you moved to that country and now you got to integrate

10:14.840 --> 10:16.420
Never forget who you are

10:18.860 --> 10:20.900
Never forget where you come from

10:22.260 --> 10:23.900
Never forget your origins

10:26.100 --> 10:30.420
And your cultural story these things are important

10:33.780 --> 10:35.300
They're trying to tear us apart

10:36.900 --> 10:39.140
By giving us a new cultural identity

10:41.640 --> 10:56.230
Which is the metropolitan system life, you know, if you watch my la la land video I speak about this so

11:00.210 --> 11:04.710
As I get older as I said I see things more clearly

11:07.950 --> 11:17.050
Because I learned I know about the principles of this world I don't exactly know

11:20.070 --> 11:27.210
Where things are gonna go and it matters not because the world theater has nothing to do with me

11:30.850 --> 11:32.830
But if I can help a few people

11:34.870 --> 11:36.890
Get out of this mess, that'd be great

11:38.630 --> 11:42.270
If I can't I just got a chalk, you know, like chalk it up to

11:43.810 --> 11:45.950
The programming taking precedence

11:57.600 --> 12:03.240
Borges once wrote I want to read you something before I leave

12:05.320 --> 12:06.160
Let's see

12:07.560 --> 12:10.520
We're gonna we're gonna go to labyrinths

12:12.020 --> 12:22.660
The lottery in Babylon like all men in Babylon I

12:24.440 --> 12:25.860
Have been pro-concial

12:27.760 --> 12:30.360
Like all a slave I

12:31.240 --> 12:33.760
Have also known on lipid tense

12:35.800 --> 12:36.500
Appropriate

12:37.680 --> 12:38.380
imprisonment

12:39.180 --> 12:39.880
Look

12:40.580 --> 12:43.060
The index finger on my right hand is missing

12:46.520 --> 12:51.800
Look through the rip in my cape you can see a vermilion tattoo on my stomach

12:52.600 --> 12:54.600
It is the second symbol beth

12:55.240 --> 13:00.720
This letter on nights when the moon is full gives me power over men whose mark is gimmel

13:01.360 --> 13:04.040
But it subordinates me to the men of Aleph

13:04.640 --> 13:08.920
Who on moonless nights all obedience to those marks with gimmel

13:09.960 --> 13:15.660
In the light of dawn in a cellar. I have cut the jugular vein of sacred bulls before black stone

13:16.940 --> 13:21.400
During a lunar year. I have been declared invisible. I

13:21.400 --> 13:23.520
Shouted and they did not answer me

13:24.600 --> 13:28.880
I stole bread and they did not behead me. I

13:28.880 --> 13:30.560
Have known what the Greeks do not know

13:31.260 --> 13:31.820
in

13:31.820 --> 13:32.520
certitude

13:34.120 --> 13:38.880
In a bronze chamber before the silent handkerchief of the strike of the strangler

13:38.880 --> 13:44.560
Hope has been faithful to me as a panic in the river of pleasure

13:48.340 --> 13:51.000
I owe this almost atrocious

13:51.000 --> 13:52.720
Variety to an institution

13:53.440 --> 13:59.760
Which other republics do not know or which operates in them in an imperfect and secret manner?

14:00.680 --> 14:02.560
the lottery I

14:04.140 --> 14:10.980
Have not looked into its history. I know that the wise man cannot agree. I

14:10.980 --> 14:20.980
Know of its powerful purposes what a man who is not versed in astrology can know about the moon. I

14:24.680 --> 14:33.240
Have thought as little about it as I have about the conduct of indecipherable divinities or about my heart

14:35.920 --> 14:37.780
Now far from Babylon

14:39.100 --> 14:40.680
And it's beloved customs

14:40.680 --> 14:46.360
I think with a certain amount of amazement about the lottery and about the blasphemous

14:46.360 --> 14:49.600
Conjectures which veiled men murmur in the twilight

14:51.820 --> 14:54.300
My father used to say that formerly a

14:55.280 --> 14:57.140
Matter of centuries of years

14:57.740 --> 15:01.460
The lottery in Babylon was a game of plebeian character

15:02.340 --> 15:08.600
He recounted. I don't know whether rightly or not that barbers sold in exchange for copper coins

15:09.220 --> 15:12.800
Squares of bone or parchment adorned with symbols

15:13.900 --> 15:17.380
Ice cream truck ice cream truck ice cream

15:21.020 --> 15:23.860
In broad daylight a drawing took place

15:24.420 --> 15:28.000
Those who won receive received silver coins

15:28.700 --> 15:30.560
Without any other test of luck

15:31.300 --> 15:34.400
The system was elementary as you can see

15:36.120 --> 15:40.160
Naturally these lotteries failed their moral virtue was nil

15:40.700 --> 15:45.640
They were not directed at all of man's faculties, but only of hope

15:46.300 --> 15:52.600
In the face of public indifference the merchants who founded these venal lotteries began to lose money

15:53.500 --> 15:54.940
Someone tried to reform

15:55.520 --> 16:00.700
The interpolation of a few unfavorable tickets in the list of favorable numbers

16:01.320 --> 16:09.100
By means of this reform the buyers of numbers squares ran the double risk of winning a sum and of paying a fine

16:09.100 --> 16:10.320
That could be considerable

16:12.080 --> 16:13.420
This slight danger

16:14.260 --> 16:20.500
For every 30 favorable numbers there was one unlucky one awoke as is natural the interest of the public

16:21.180 --> 16:24.080
The Babylonians threw themselves into the game

16:24.740 --> 16:27.420
those who did not acquire chances were considered

16:28.900 --> 16:29.580
Pusillanius

16:30.700 --> 16:32.060
Pusillanius cowardly

16:32.620 --> 16:36.380
In time that justified disdain was doubled

16:37.100 --> 16:39.100
Those who did not play were scorned

16:40.140 --> 16:42.700
But also the losers who paid the fine were scorn

16:44.020 --> 16:50.060
The company as it came to be known then had to take care of the winners who could not cash in their prizes

16:50.060 --> 16:54.560
If almost the total amount of the fines were unpaid

16:55.660 --> 17:02.080
It started a lawsuit against the losers the judge condemned them to pay the original fines and

17:02.080 --> 17:05.220
costs or spent several days in jail

17:05.980 --> 17:09.340
Or chose jail, you know this to defraud the company

17:10.540 --> 17:14.060
The bravado of a few is the source of the omnipotence

17:15.320 --> 17:19.780
of the company and of its metaphysical power

17:21.840 --> 17:25.100
You might be confused as fuck thinking what did you just read to me?

17:26.100 --> 17:26.620
Borges

17:27.580 --> 17:29.900
wrote the short story called the lottery in Babylon

17:30.900 --> 17:37.140
Which speaks about a game a lottery game that exists in that fictional

17:37.720 --> 17:42.420
Place of Babylon where people in that world is forced to play this game

17:43.460 --> 17:45.840
In order to survive and be someone

17:47.800 --> 17:48.920
Sometimes they win

17:49.600 --> 17:52.500
Sometimes they lose either way they're gonna pay

17:53.400 --> 17:55.260
But yet they feel this is natural

17:56.080 --> 17:57.560
Yet they feel this is right

17:58.340 --> 18:01.960
To keep this game up this rigged game from the start

18:01.960 --> 18:09.880
Some even sell their children their wives their husbands just for that square of bone

18:10.640 --> 18:11.920
That lucky number

18:12.660 --> 18:14.520
How many of us?

18:16.280 --> 18:17.600
Get the number we want

18:21.740 --> 18:25.220
And those that play that game the lottery of Babylon

18:26.680 --> 18:28.720
We don't realize we are the numbers

18:31.240 --> 18:32.520
The squares of bone

18:35.680 --> 18:37.100
That's fate being sealed

18:40.560 --> 18:42.660
Why am I sharing this story with you?

18:45.480 --> 18:47.120
Maybe using this parable

18:50.980 --> 18:53.680
We might be able to get out of this game. What do you think?

18:55.380 --> 18:58.420
And by getting out of this whole fucking stupid game

18:58.720 --> 19:01.140
We go back to our natural

19:02.000 --> 19:10.720
Natural instincts and the perfect entry point

19:11.900 --> 19:13.240
Back to our origins
