00:00.000 --> 00:09.540
Hey, Larkin Rose here. Can things change? I mean, can human society fundamentally become

00:09.540 --> 00:17.500
something different in a relatively short period of time? I know lots of people. I respect

00:17.500 --> 00:23.380
lots of people. I like lots of people who I'm pretty sure they think society can't change.

00:23.380 --> 00:30.480
It's not going to happen at least not quickly and significantly. And I can absolutely sympathize

00:30.480 --> 00:37.380
and I can absolutely relate. I felt that way for many years. And part of me says, well,

00:37.440 --> 00:43.780
what's the point of trying to talk them into changing their mind about whether things can

00:43.780 --> 00:52.960
change? But there is a slight point if they stop trying because they don't think things

00:52.960 --> 01:01.760
can change. So why do I think things can change? First of all, I'm wearing an octopus hat. That's

01:01.760 --> 01:10.460
a change. That's all the proof you need. Okay, that's not all the proof you need. But when

01:10.460 --> 01:16.840
you look at human society and the things that have gone on, mostly change has happened very slowly.

01:17.160 --> 01:25.740
Human progress has been clumsy and stupid and ridiculous. However, just recently, technology

01:25.740 --> 01:33.000
has allowed the beliefs and the mentality of a huge number of people to change way faster than has

01:33.000 --> 01:38.440
ever happened before in the history of the world. Now, not all of that's good. Change isn't

01:38.440 --> 01:46.020
automatically good. But when people can communicate both stories and facts, or stories and

01:46.020 --> 01:54.460
falsehoods, which is sometimes the case, or ideas as quickly as they can now, it has a

01:54.460 --> 02:01.380
massive cultural impact on any culture that has the communication technology to be exposed to

02:01.380 --> 02:09.800
new ideas. And that's just people learning about things like, oh, now I can find out what's

02:09.800 --> 02:15.980
happening in Botswana. Okay, well, yeah, that's one thing. But can these communications

02:15.980 --> 02:22.100
actually change the way people think fundamentally enough to change society? Because you have

02:22.100 --> 02:26.060
to change how people think to change how people behave. And you have to change how

02:26.060 --> 02:35.960
people behave in order to make society fundamentally different than it is now. And the number of

02:35.960 --> 02:40.780
people I know, I mean, I just look at myself, I'll use myself as an example. At this point,

02:40.920 --> 02:46.500
it was over 30 years ago, it was about 30 years ago, when I was still, or when I stopped

02:46.500 --> 02:53.100
being a statist, stopped being a statist, look, I have my new teeth, but I'm still

02:53.100 --> 02:58.980
practicing speaking. Look, there's some change. I have teeth in my face instead of being

02:58.980 --> 03:05.480
golem. But for, for society to fundamentally change, people have to change their

03:05.480 --> 03:12.080
viewpoints and their behaviors. Now, if I just look at my behaviors over the last 30

03:12.080 --> 03:19.080
years, back when I was a status, I stopped being a status in 1996. And I know that

03:19.080 --> 03:27.480
because I was ex-Ragnar 1996 on AOL chat rooms. And I remember that that was my handle

03:27.480 --> 03:35.500
back when I completely gave up statism. If the world had changed the way I did from

03:35.500 --> 03:39.520
30 years ago, like if everybody had had the exact same journey, of course, that

03:39.520 --> 03:43.200
wasn't going to happen. But if everybody had the exact same journey, of course,

03:43.320 --> 03:47.520
the world would be fundamentally different. A population of status that then

03:47.520 --> 03:52.360
turns into a population of voluntaryists, good luck dominating them and robbing

03:52.360 --> 03:57.780
them because suddenly the ruling class, like, has no power because the people

03:57.780 --> 04:02.040
aren't giving it any power. Now, I'm just mean, you're just you and a bunch of

04:02.040 --> 04:05.520
you have your own journeys. And, but a bunch of you, your journeys happened

04:05.520 --> 04:09.740
more recently than 30 years ago. Few of you turned into anarchists before I

04:09.740 --> 04:16.020
did. Most of you didn't. Like, statistically speaking, it was more

04:16.020 --> 04:21.800
recent than that. Well, if you extrapolate, yeah, if this is the expense,

04:22.000 --> 04:25.340
like, here's a population of the world, and it went from this many

04:25.340 --> 04:29.620
voluntaryists to this many voluntaryists, okay, that may seem like, well,

04:29.680 --> 04:35.200
big whopper is still massively outnumbered. But the thing that matters,

04:35.340 --> 04:39.620
I've talked about this before, is the growth. Like, if there's exponential

04:39.620 --> 04:44.400
growth, it doesn't matter. It's sort of like, oh, I'm looking around in my

04:44.400 --> 04:48.420
kitchen, I see a few flies like laying maggots. It's okay. There's only

04:48.420 --> 04:52.380
like three or four of them. Okay, go away for a couple days, come back

04:52.380 --> 04:55.240
and there'll be three or four thousand all over the place because

04:55.240 --> 05:00.960
they multiply. They don't just add, they multiply. And ideas can very

05:00.960 --> 05:07.120
much multiply. And it doesn't happen as fast as fruit flies. But

05:07.120 --> 05:10.860
it still spreads that way. And the thing is the breaking point

05:10.860 --> 05:16.420
for behaviors and what ruling classes can get away with is much

05:16.420 --> 05:19.760
lower than most people, including most pro-freedom people

05:20.520 --> 05:24.960
really understand. Because it's easy to say, well, if 90% of the

05:24.960 --> 05:27.820
people still believe in the state and worship the state and

05:27.820 --> 05:30.780
play the stupid game called democracy and feel an obligation

05:30.780 --> 05:33.600
to bow to these political psychopaths, then we're doomed.

05:33.980 --> 05:36.860
No, we're not. If 10% of the people didn't believe that,

05:37.060 --> 05:40.440
that is the end of any empire. I don't care what the 90%

05:40.440 --> 05:43.000
thinks, they're not going to go out and enforce it. They're

05:43.000 --> 05:47.100
going to go, hey, we kind of like that. Well, the 10% disobey

05:47.100 --> 05:51.120
and topple literally any regime in the world. Like in this

05:51.120 --> 05:54.480
country, I've pointed this out before, 10% is 30 some million

05:54.480 --> 05:59.940
people, 34 or so million people. If 34 million people want to

05:59.940 --> 06:03.940
disobey and sabotage and end some authoritarian monstrosity,

06:03.940 --> 06:08.300
they're going to, even if the vast majority of them like,

06:08.300 --> 06:12.120
well, we're not going to get violent about it, more forceful

06:12.120 --> 06:17.140
since violent implies a violation of rights. But even just

06:17.140 --> 06:21.980
that many people sort of peacefully sabotaging things and

06:21.980 --> 06:24.940
getting in the way and just gumming up the works and throwing

06:24.940 --> 06:29.360
a wrench in the gears and any other cliche things you can think

06:29.360 --> 06:33.200
of that mean the same thing. If you look at the percentage

06:33.200 --> 06:36.260
of people it takes, and if you look at how many people it

06:36.260 --> 06:40.500
would take to do that, the fact that you had mainstream

06:42.280 --> 06:45.140
conservative status, and you still do out there talking

06:45.140 --> 06:48.520
about, well, maybe there should be a tax strike. If they're

06:48.520 --> 06:51.520
doing all this heinous stuff and warmongering, maybe we should

06:51.520 --> 06:54.620
stop paying taxes. Yeah, I know some of you are going to say,

06:54.660 --> 06:56.780
well, I don't really need the tax revenue, they can print

06:56.780 --> 07:00.860
money. Yeah, but then you get inflation and the taxes are

07:00.860 --> 07:03.180
to counteract that. And most of you know this stuff. So I

07:03.180 --> 07:06.600
have to give the whole spiel about it. But the thing is, if

07:06.600 --> 07:11.540
people break the cycle of obedience, it's not coming

07:11.540 --> 07:17.400
back. If one year 34 million people said, yeah, we earn money,

07:17.440 --> 07:19.260
we do business and stuff, but we're not going to file and

07:19.260 --> 07:21.420
we're not going to give you money. I know a lot of people

07:21.420 --> 07:24.880
get withheld from so it doesn't even help them to not

07:24.880 --> 07:27.900
file. But if a bunch of people just said, we're not

07:27.900 --> 07:32.280
playing your game, the weakening of the system and

07:32.280 --> 07:35.440
the weakening of control and the weakening of the mentality

07:35.880 --> 07:41.760
of the people's obligation to obey can very quickly spread.

07:41.980 --> 07:44.700
Like if you ask the average person, hey, if you could pay

07:44.700 --> 07:48.700
zero taxes this year and you absolutely knew that you'd get

07:48.700 --> 07:50.900
away with it, there'd be no repercussions. They're not

07:50.900 --> 07:52.980
taking your money. They're not prosecuting. Nothing's

07:52.980 --> 07:56.200
going to happen. You just don't pay and nothing happens

07:56.200 --> 08:00.080
would you do it? Approximately 100% of people, the

08:00.080 --> 08:03.120
answer is yes. Some of them would pretend the answer is no,

08:03.480 --> 08:08.060
they're lying. There may be like three people in the world

08:08.060 --> 08:11.480
who actually would still pay without any adverse

08:11.480 --> 08:14.600
consequences. Okay, maybe a little bit more than three, but

08:14.600 --> 08:18.140
it's not very freaking many because as much as they

08:18.140 --> 08:21.980
repeat the dogman, the stages propaganda, they don't

08:21.980 --> 08:24.080
really like being robbed. They don't really like being

08:24.080 --> 08:26.820
dominated and I know a bunch of pro-freedom people

08:26.820 --> 08:29.480
constantly say people don't want to be free. That is

08:29.480 --> 08:33.880
not true. That is not ever true. They want to be free

08:33.880 --> 08:38.940
themselves. Everybody does. Every sewer rat and cockroach

08:38.940 --> 08:41.820
wants that. If you don't believe me, grab it. See

08:41.820 --> 08:44.680
what happens. It'll bite you or struggle or try to get

08:44.680 --> 08:49.020
away because everything wants to be free. Now, they

08:49.020 --> 08:51.240
don't want a free society because they don't know

08:51.240 --> 08:53.040
what that looks like and they're scared of it. They

08:53.040 --> 08:55.500
think Mad Max and they think, well, we need masters

08:56.100 --> 08:59.800
making everything work. But when a certain number of

08:59.800 --> 09:02.300
people get to the point where they realize not only do we

09:02.300 --> 09:05.800
not need that, but this parasitical ruling class

09:05.800 --> 09:10.080
does literally the exact opposite. That's one of the

09:10.080 --> 09:13.620
kind of hysterical or pathetic things about

09:13.620 --> 09:18.200
statism. Every status says, we need government in

09:18.200 --> 09:22.160
order to have it blank. Whatever they put in the

09:22.160 --> 09:25.200
blank, it already isn't doing it and it has never

09:25.200 --> 09:27.900
done that in the history of the world. We need

09:27.900 --> 09:30.220
government to protect the innocent. Has it ever

09:30.220 --> 09:31.760
done that anywhere in the history of the world?

09:32.080 --> 09:35.540
No. I mean, now and then it might happen to

09:35.540 --> 09:38.780
protect an innocent person while being the biggest

09:38.780 --> 09:41.480
thief in the world and doing a crappy job of

09:41.480 --> 09:44.880
protecting the other 99.99 percent. Okay, but we

09:44.880 --> 09:48.140
need, we need it there to take care of this

09:48.140 --> 09:50.820
and take care of the tap to have roads. Do the

09:50.820 --> 09:53.200
roads suck in lots of places? Yeah. Are they

09:53.200 --> 09:56.320
heinously expensive and inefficient and their

09:56.320 --> 09:59.800
construction patterns take forever and waste time

09:59.800 --> 10:01.700
and waste money and they build bridges to

10:01.700 --> 10:04.600
nowhere? Well, yeah, they don't actually do a

10:04.600 --> 10:07.080
good job, but we need government to do that

10:07.080 --> 10:08.880
thing that it does a really bad job at.

10:10.460 --> 10:14.440
And so if you get those people to recognize

10:15.320 --> 10:18.420
that government does more harm than good and

10:18.420 --> 10:19.980
more and more people are starting to notice

10:19.980 --> 10:23.440
that and they think, well, why don't we just do

10:23.440 --> 10:26.400
that stuff? Instead of waiting around for these

10:26.400 --> 10:29.500
crooked cops to protect us and you call 9-1-1

10:29.500 --> 10:31.200
and they show up an hour later and shoot your

10:31.200 --> 10:35.740
dog, why don't we like create a network where

10:35.740 --> 10:37.420
you know, know some of your neighbors,

10:37.660 --> 10:39.660
especially the ones who have guns and are

10:39.660 --> 10:42.540
stable. So you have their phone number and

10:42.540 --> 10:43.720
you can call them in the middle of the night.

10:43.820 --> 10:45.700
Hey, somebody's trying to kick my door down.

10:45.700 --> 10:48.580
Can you like help? I mean, some of us who

10:49.240 --> 10:51.920
are heavily armed don't really need to call

10:51.920 --> 10:54.160
anybody else. But hey, if you're my neighbor

10:54.160 --> 10:55.900
and you're not armed and you want to call

10:55.900 --> 10:59.740
me, be my guest. But if people start to

10:59.740 --> 11:02.700
think in terms of making their own

11:02.700 --> 11:04.220
solutions, like we're going to help each

11:04.220 --> 11:05.880
other, there's somebody in need, let's

11:05.880 --> 11:07.220
help them out. That already happens all

11:07.220 --> 11:08.660
over the place and it's certainly not

11:08.660 --> 11:13.200
just volunteers doing that. That change

11:13.200 --> 11:15.340
of people stepping away from their

11:15.340 --> 11:17.660
dependency on government is massive

11:18.960 --> 11:21.180
because it isn't just practical. It

11:21.180 --> 11:23.040
isn't just, well, you guys suck at

11:23.040 --> 11:25.780
caring for people who need it. Like half

11:25.780 --> 11:28.260
of it goes to just drugged out

11:28.260 --> 11:30.660
entitlement lazy dumbasses who could be

11:30.660 --> 11:33.000
working. They just, you know, game the

11:33.000 --> 11:34.300
system and get a bunch of free money

11:34.300 --> 11:35.460
while I'm working my butt off.

11:37.300 --> 11:38.800
Whatever people think of the welfare

11:38.800 --> 11:40.420
state, they can look and go, well,

11:40.440 --> 11:42.660
here's somebody I actually know. I know

11:42.660 --> 11:43.860
they're down on their luck. I know

11:43.860 --> 11:45.360
they need help. I'm just going to help

11:45.360 --> 11:47.120
them out directly instead of waiting

11:47.120 --> 11:48.640
for government to do it because it's a

11:48.640 --> 11:51.900
crappy job of it. Or there's something

11:51.900 --> 11:53.640
nasty going on. There's somebody we

11:53.640 --> 11:56.060
have to stop. So we stop them. Now

11:56.060 --> 11:59.000
government tries to dissuade us mere

11:59.000 --> 12:01.260
peasants from doing contact the law

12:01.260 --> 12:03.620
into your own hands. Just sit there and

12:03.620 --> 12:05.520
be victimized and call the authorities

12:05.520 --> 12:07.580
so they can show up an hour later

12:07.580 --> 12:10.340
and chew your dog. But a lot of

12:10.340 --> 12:11.860
people now have the mentality, I mean

12:11.860 --> 12:13.800
a bunch of conservatives, especially in

12:13.800 --> 12:15.900
rural areas, already had the mentality

12:16.500 --> 12:17.960
hey, if you try to break into my house at

12:17.960 --> 12:19.600
2 in the morning, I'm not calling the

12:19.600 --> 12:21.340
cops then. Probably not calling them

12:21.340 --> 12:23.000
later. Nobody will ever know what

12:23.000 --> 12:25.300
happened to you. We'll take care of it.

12:25.620 --> 12:27.420
That's done. Nobody will ever know what

12:27.420 --> 12:29.500
happened. So the cops don't

12:29.500 --> 12:31.360
investigate me for killing the

12:31.360 --> 12:33.000
intruder and burying him in the backyard.

12:34.740 --> 12:37.460
So the independent mindset,

12:37.680 --> 12:38.960
obviously that's sort of an extreme

12:38.960 --> 12:40.700
example, but the independent mindset

12:41.700 --> 12:44.400
naturally grows as government shows

12:44.400 --> 12:47.740
itself for the useless pile of crap it

12:47.740 --> 12:50.040
is. And you can look at the Soviet Union.

12:50.640 --> 12:52.420
I mean, the Soviet Union all the way

12:52.420 --> 12:54.420
fell over. This big superpower that we're

12:54.420 --> 12:55.620
all supposed to be terrified of.

12:56.700 --> 12:58.460
If you wanted to eat and you lived

12:58.460 --> 12:59.920
over there, you'd damn well better

12:59.920 --> 13:01.540
find a way other than relying on

13:01.540 --> 13:04.300
government. Oh yeah, every how many

13:04.300 --> 13:06.540
weeks we get half a loaf of moldy

13:06.540 --> 13:10.060
stale bread. Mm, delicious. If you

13:10.060 --> 13:12.000
want something better, you learn to go

13:12.000 --> 13:14.660
around the system. And you do it

13:15.140 --> 13:17.220
in spite of the system. Like the system

13:17.220 --> 13:19.180
doesn't not only does not help, it gets

13:19.180 --> 13:21.120
in the way a whole bunch. But people

13:21.120 --> 13:22.600
learn to do that. And lots of people

13:22.600 --> 13:23.840
are like, I'm going to live off grid.

13:24.040 --> 13:25.220
I'm going to have solar. I'm going to

13:25.220 --> 13:27.320
try to be all the way independent,

13:27.560 --> 13:28.880
grow my own food. So if the

13:29.560 --> 13:31.400
shit hits the fan, I know what to do.

13:31.620 --> 13:33.240
And there's tons of people with that

13:33.240 --> 13:34.480
mentality. There's tons of people with

13:34.480 --> 13:36.820
that mentality who are liberals and

13:36.820 --> 13:38.000
who are conservatives. And

13:38.000 --> 13:39.140
obviously a bunch who are

13:39.140 --> 13:41.360
volunteers and libertarians and

13:41.360 --> 13:43.780
whatever across the spectrum, that

13:43.780 --> 13:45.680
mentality of people deciding, you

13:45.680 --> 13:47.100
know, we probably can't count on

13:47.100 --> 13:48.560
government to do the right thing

13:48.560 --> 13:50.980
because not only is it corrupt, but

13:50.980 --> 13:52.500
it's also inefficient and it sucks

13:52.500 --> 13:54.880
at almost everything. So if you want

13:54.880 --> 13:56.680
to be safe, learn how to protect

13:56.680 --> 13:58.260
yourself and your family and your

13:58.260 --> 14:01.340
neighbors. If you want to help

14:01.340 --> 14:03.500
people in need, learn how to help

14:03.500 --> 14:06.380
the people you know and your

14:06.380 --> 14:07.980
community and stuff like that.

14:09.060 --> 14:11.940
And so what it takes to jump back

14:11.940 --> 14:13.240
to the original question, what it

14:13.240 --> 14:15.180
takes to fundamentally change

14:16.120 --> 14:19.920
society and humanity, isn't even

14:19.920 --> 14:22.120
for everybody to sit down and go,

14:22.160 --> 14:23.540
I'm going to have philosophies and

14:23.540 --> 14:26.880
read 27 treatises on Austrian

14:26.880 --> 14:28.980
economics. Like, if you want to do

14:28.980 --> 14:30.820
that, have at it. I'm all in favor

14:30.820 --> 14:32.260
of people learning a whole bunch

14:32.260 --> 14:35.260
of stuff. There is an instinctive

14:35.260 --> 14:37.960
level rebellion that in a lot of

14:37.960 --> 14:41.800
people comes first. And so a lot of

14:41.800 --> 14:43.180
people, you know, a lot of people

14:43.180 --> 14:44.560
in the world already, they live

14:44.560 --> 14:45.760
somewhere where the tentacles of

14:45.760 --> 14:47.920
government sort of don't get to

14:47.920 --> 14:50.460
very often. So they, you know, they

14:50.460 --> 14:51.560
have their little village and they

14:51.560 --> 14:52.840
take care of each other and they're

14:52.840 --> 14:55.680
living almost in a stateless

14:55.680 --> 14:57.160
society. Now government may show up

14:57.160 --> 14:58.480
and boss people around and steal

14:58.480 --> 15:01.600
shit and do whatever. But the

15:01.600 --> 15:03.980
instinctive level understanding of

15:03.980 --> 15:06.300
we better handle it ourselves. You

15:06.300 --> 15:07.980
can watch that kick in in an

15:07.980 --> 15:10.280
emergency. When there's a flood, when

15:10.280 --> 15:11.440
there's a fire and there's chaos

15:11.440 --> 15:13.480
and people are like, well holy crap,

15:13.600 --> 15:15.280
let's not wait around for 9-11.

15:15.480 --> 15:18.020
They're 9-1-1 to respond. 9-11 to

15:18.020 --> 15:21.400
respond. It's not wait around for a

15:21.400 --> 15:23.400
false flag to happen. Let's not wait

15:23.400 --> 15:25.060
around for the authorities to fix

15:25.060 --> 15:26.220
it because they're not going to, they

15:26.220 --> 15:27.840
suck at that and mostly they just

15:27.840 --> 15:29.520
show up and get in the way. If my

15:29.520 --> 15:31.280
neighbor's house is like floating down

15:31.280 --> 15:32.640
the street, maybe I'm going to run

15:32.640 --> 15:33.980
out and try to help my neighbor

15:33.980 --> 15:35.960
off his roof and whatever else.

15:37.420 --> 15:39.160
The fact that when an emergency

15:39.160 --> 15:41.260
happens, so many people can shift

15:41.260 --> 15:43.200
from, hey, I'm just, you know,

15:43.280 --> 15:44.500
hemp's throwing a wheel, I'm going

15:44.500 --> 15:45.760
through the motions, I'm doing my

15:45.760 --> 15:48.200
job, I'm doing my career, to holy

15:48.200 --> 15:49.600
shit, this is an emergency, this

15:49.600 --> 15:51.100
really matters. We got to handle

15:51.100 --> 15:54.020
stuff ourselves. Shows that

15:54.020 --> 15:55.700
underneath the surface of a hell

15:55.700 --> 15:58.180
of a lot of statists is a

15:58.180 --> 16:00.340
voluntary, like a responsible

16:00.340 --> 16:04.160
grown-up ready to act like a

16:04.160 --> 16:06.220
responsible grown-up if the need

16:06.220 --> 16:08.940
presents itself. Now, may not be

16:08.940 --> 16:10.620
everybody, but it's a lot of

16:10.620 --> 16:15.160
people. And so when, when you're

16:15.160 --> 16:18.080
talking about whether society can

16:18.080 --> 16:20.440
actually change significantly in a

16:20.440 --> 16:23.760
short amount of time, you have to

16:23.760 --> 16:26.860
look at both what it takes for an

16:26.860 --> 16:28.780
individual to change because I know

16:28.780 --> 16:30.740
like of the thousands of

16:30.740 --> 16:33.180
volunteers I now know, the

16:33.180 --> 16:35.200
process, I mean, you've all heard

16:35.200 --> 16:36.180
the joke, what's the difference

16:36.180 --> 16:37.740
between a libertarian and anarchist,

16:37.900 --> 16:39.900
about six months. Of course, that

16:39.900 --> 16:41.220
varies a whole bunch. Some people

16:41.220 --> 16:42.940
never let go of that last little

16:42.940 --> 16:46.060
shred of statism. For me, it was

16:46.060 --> 16:47.200
slower than that, which is

16:47.200 --> 16:49.260
embarrassing and stupid, but I

16:49.260 --> 16:51.440
might as well admit it. Back

16:51.440 --> 16:52.900
when I had this belief in limited

16:52.900 --> 16:54.740
government, I hung on to that for

16:54.740 --> 16:56.260
several years before I realized

16:56.260 --> 16:57.920
why am I bothering to hang on to

16:57.920 --> 16:59.480
this stupid self-contradictory

16:59.480 --> 17:01.960
bullshit. And so I let go and

17:01.960 --> 17:04.480
became an anarchist. But, so it

17:04.480 --> 17:06.000
isn't always the exact same time

17:06.000 --> 17:08.100
period for everything, but the

17:08.100 --> 17:09.980
amount of time it takes for a

17:09.980 --> 17:12.820
person to go from, I believe I

17:12.820 --> 17:14.460
have a moral obligation to pay

17:14.460 --> 17:16.140
tribute to and bow to these

17:16.140 --> 17:20.720
political powers that be into

17:20.720 --> 17:22.320
going, oh, they're all liars and

17:22.320 --> 17:23.960
crux, never mind. Oh, those

17:23.960 --> 17:26.260
bastards, a damn thing. If a

17:26.260 --> 17:27.700
human being can do that in the

17:27.700 --> 17:29.440
span of like six months, I

17:29.440 --> 17:31.360
mean, I know some people have, I

17:31.360 --> 17:33.200
watched one person do it in one

17:33.200 --> 17:34.560
conversation, and that was

17:34.560 --> 17:35.780
truly amazing. That was many

17:35.780 --> 17:37.100
years ago. That does not usually

17:37.100 --> 17:40.160
happen where they were so, so

17:40.160 --> 17:41.880
analytical and so much a

17:41.880 --> 17:43.900
thinking person that when it was

17:43.900 --> 17:44.860
laid out in front of them, they

17:44.860 --> 17:45.960
were like, oh yeah, I guess

17:45.960 --> 17:48.820
authorities always bogus. Never

17:48.820 --> 17:49.660
mind, that makes me an

17:49.660 --> 17:50.420
anarchist. Like, I've only

17:50.420 --> 17:51.920
seen that happen like in one

17:51.920 --> 17:54.680
conversation once in my life. But

17:54.680 --> 17:55.800
I've seen it happen in a

17:55.800 --> 17:57.760
matter of weeks, sometimes

17:57.760 --> 18:00.380
days in pretty many people. Like

18:00.380 --> 18:01.660
I said, it took way longer than

18:01.660 --> 18:03.420
me, which is kind of embarrassing.

18:04.000 --> 18:05.200
But I've seen a lot of people

18:05.200 --> 18:07.740
do it in weeks or months. So

18:07.740 --> 18:09.240
it's a matter of the message

18:09.240 --> 18:11.700
getting to people. So, I mean,

18:11.900 --> 18:13.180
that's one of the reasons I'm

18:13.180 --> 18:14.760
working on the mirror, because

18:14.760 --> 18:16.660
the mirror, a billion people can

18:16.660 --> 18:17.740
do it at the same time, and

18:17.740 --> 18:18.500
each one will have a

18:18.500 --> 18:20.460
slightly different experience, and

18:20.460 --> 18:21.160
it'll go in a different

18:21.160 --> 18:22.460
direction based on how they

18:22.460 --> 18:24.800
answer the questions. I'm not

18:24.800 --> 18:25.640
going to get all the way into

18:25.640 --> 18:27.380
that at the moment. But it's

18:27.380 --> 18:28.960
just a question of when these

18:28.960 --> 18:31.860
ideas hit people. Because if

18:31.860 --> 18:33.980
you, if somebody could do a

18:34.640 --> 18:36.720
V for Vendetta stuff, now

18:36.720 --> 18:38.800
somehow he like hijacked the

18:38.800 --> 18:40.380
official broadcasting of the

18:40.380 --> 18:41.660
state and sent out a message

18:41.660 --> 18:43.320
to everybody. Like, obviously

18:43.320 --> 18:46.800
it's not how anything works. But

18:46.800 --> 18:49.120
it's not a matter of, oh, it

18:49.120 --> 18:51.160
automatically takes decades to

18:51.160 --> 18:52.460
change people's minds. I don't

18:52.460 --> 18:53.400
know anybody that it took

18:53.400 --> 18:54.720
that long to change that

18:54.720 --> 18:57.080
person's mind. So it's just a

18:57.080 --> 18:58.320
matter of when these people

18:58.320 --> 18:59.620
get hit with these ideas and

18:59.620 --> 19:01.060
start hearing about them and

19:01.060 --> 19:03.720
start thinking about them. And

19:03.720 --> 19:05.860
there's the 10% rule I'm going

19:05.860 --> 19:08.220
to mention again, which, I

19:08.220 --> 19:10.000
mean, 10% is kind of arbitrary.

19:10.660 --> 19:12.160
But basically the idea is when

19:12.160 --> 19:14.260
a new idea gets to 10% of

19:14.260 --> 19:15.720
the people and 10% of the

19:15.720 --> 19:18.160
people like embrace it as a

19:18.160 --> 19:19.640
rough number, it's going to

19:19.640 --> 19:20.820
be everybody pretty damn

19:20.820 --> 19:22.700
soon. Because now people are

19:22.700 --> 19:23.840
talking about it, people are

19:23.840 --> 19:25.320
going to hear about it. You

19:25.320 --> 19:25.880
know, when it comes to

19:25.880 --> 19:27.220
voluntarism, most people are

19:27.220 --> 19:28.640
like, why, what, what does that

19:28.640 --> 19:29.540
mean? I've never heard the

19:29.540 --> 19:31.480
phrase. It's like, okay, so

19:31.480 --> 19:32.420
we're starting from scratch.

19:33.020 --> 19:34.380
But when it becomes part of

19:34.380 --> 19:35.960
the discussion and

19:35.960 --> 19:37.260
everybody hears about it, then

19:37.260 --> 19:38.160
people talk about it, then

19:38.160 --> 19:39.640
people think about it, and

19:39.640 --> 19:40.540
you can get a gazillion

19:40.540 --> 19:41.880
people suddenly going in the

19:41.880 --> 19:44.160
other direction. That was

19:44.160 --> 19:46.760
nowhere near as possible

19:46.760 --> 19:49.500
before as it is now because

19:49.500 --> 19:52.060
of primarily the internet and

19:52.060 --> 19:52.700
our communication

19:53.380 --> 19:55.240
technologies. Because now

19:55.240 --> 19:57.180
some weirdo like me can make a

19:57.180 --> 19:58.420
video and a few thousand

19:58.420 --> 19:59.400
people might watch it.

19:59.800 --> 20:00.800
Somebody else can make a video,

20:00.960 --> 20:01.740
write a book, and a few

20:01.740 --> 20:03.280
million people can watch it

20:03.280 --> 20:04.340
or read it or whatever.

20:04.900 --> 20:06.040
Something can happen to

20:06.040 --> 20:07.200
catch on and get people's

20:07.200 --> 20:09.020
attention and go viral, and

20:09.020 --> 20:09.820
a bunch of people can

20:09.820 --> 20:12.060
suddenly pay attention. And

20:12.060 --> 20:14.940
so it's to gauge what's

20:14.940 --> 20:17.080
going to happen tomorrow by,

20:17.620 --> 20:18.840
well, this is what happened

20:18.840 --> 20:19.740
yesterday and the day

20:19.740 --> 20:20.620
before and the day before

20:20.620 --> 20:23.060
and the day before is, I mean,

20:23.220 --> 20:24.460
that sounds reasonable, but

20:24.460 --> 20:27.520
that's no longer a predictive,

20:28.700 --> 20:30.360
like that's no longer 100%

20:30.360 --> 20:31.420
predictive of what's

20:31.420 --> 20:32.180
going to happen tomorrow.

20:32.320 --> 20:33.480
And you can actually see

20:34.560 --> 20:36.000
massive shifts in less

20:36.000 --> 20:37.020
important things, less

20:37.020 --> 20:38.580
fundamental things.

20:39.560 --> 20:41.260
But you watch the, you

20:41.260 --> 20:42.980
know, the Trump circus

20:42.980 --> 20:44.040
and a bunch of conservatives

20:44.040 --> 20:45.180
go rah, rah, rah, then they

20:45.180 --> 20:46.140
all get stabbed in the back.

20:46.360 --> 20:47.480
And a bunch of them are

20:47.480 --> 20:48.640
like, oh, we got stabbed

20:48.640 --> 20:49.360
in the back. This is

20:49.360 --> 20:50.380
ridiculous and horrible

20:50.380 --> 20:51.360
and this sucks and maybe

20:51.360 --> 20:52.360
both parties suck.

20:52.780 --> 20:53.700
And there's a bunch of

20:53.700 --> 20:55.540
mainstream people who

20:55.540 --> 20:56.880
a few years ago were like,

20:56.960 --> 20:58.520
Trump's going to save us.

20:58.820 --> 20:59.580
And now they're like,

20:59.680 --> 21:00.920
this whole thing is bullshit.

21:01.100 --> 21:02.060
Nobody's going to save us.

21:02.240 --> 21:02.880
Voting is pointless.

21:03.840 --> 21:04.940
That's a bunch of mainstream

21:04.940 --> 21:06.040
people. Of course, there

21:06.040 --> 21:07.580
are still people, you know,

21:07.720 --> 21:08.580
that the ruling class

21:08.580 --> 21:09.500
is still pushing, you

21:09.500 --> 21:11.000
got to vote to change things.

21:11.680 --> 21:13.100
And a bunch of bootlicking

21:13.100 --> 21:14.500
idiots are still worshiping

21:14.500 --> 21:15.780
mango, Mussolini and

21:15.780 --> 21:17.080
bootlicking idiots on the

21:17.080 --> 21:17.820
other side are going to

21:17.820 --> 21:19.480
worship whatever clown

21:19.480 --> 21:20.920
they put up for election

21:20.920 --> 21:21.480
next time.

21:22.940 --> 21:24.440
But the majority is

21:24.440 --> 21:25.320
never what matters.

21:25.520 --> 21:26.340
The majority is never

21:26.340 --> 21:27.300
what changes anything.

21:27.900 --> 21:30.420
So all this to say,

21:30.980 --> 21:32.300
this may sound like

21:32.300 --> 21:33.040
a flying leap,

21:33.140 --> 21:33.680
but there's actually

21:33.680 --> 21:34.140
a connection.

21:35.120 --> 21:36.380
The my book Approaching

21:36.380 --> 21:38.120
Humanity, which comes out

21:38.120 --> 21:40.740
a month from today

21:42.380 --> 21:43.740
because it will come out

21:43.740 --> 21:45.260
at our July 18th event

21:45.260 --> 21:46.520
in Sedona, Arizona

21:47.840 --> 21:48.720
called, surprisingly,

21:49.180 --> 21:50.160
Approaching Humanity.

21:51.780 --> 21:53.080
It was written with

21:53.080 --> 21:54.380
the normal people in mind,

21:54.520 --> 21:55.540
the people who don't

21:55.540 --> 21:57.100
particularly like to

21:57.100 --> 21:58.100
read about philosophy

21:58.100 --> 21:59.100
and ponder stuff.

21:59.300 --> 21:59.880
It's still a book,

22:00.740 --> 22:01.920
but it's also going to

22:01.920 --> 22:02.560
be other things.

22:02.680 --> 22:03.240
And there's going to be

22:03.240 --> 22:04.080
little videos

22:04.080 --> 22:05.280
from the event

22:05.280 --> 22:06.600
that we put out little tidbits.

22:06.740 --> 22:07.320
The whole thing's

22:07.320 --> 22:08.220
going to be available for

22:08.760 --> 22:10.020
Rose Channel subscribers.

22:10.980 --> 22:12.800
You can see the description

22:12.800 --> 22:13.160
below.

22:13.400 --> 22:14.060
If you want to sign up

22:14.060 --> 22:15.180
for that, you can get,

22:15.480 --> 22:16.160
we're going to try to

22:16.160 --> 22:17.340
live stream the whole event

22:18.840 --> 22:20.400
on July 18th.

22:21.300 --> 22:23.440
At worst case scenario is

22:23.440 --> 22:24.640
if the live stream doesn't

22:24.640 --> 22:26.260
work or our connection

22:26.260 --> 22:27.120
isn't good enough,

22:27.460 --> 22:28.420
the whole thing will be edited

22:28.420 --> 22:29.380
and the whole thing will be

22:29.380 --> 22:30.340
posted on the Rose Channel

22:30.340 --> 22:30.700
afterwards.

22:30.920 --> 22:32.140
Anyway, so Rose Channel

22:32.140 --> 22:32.940
subscribers are going to

22:32.940 --> 22:33.740
get the whole dang thing.

22:34.540 --> 22:35.860
Although if you can be there

22:35.860 --> 22:36.220
in person,

22:36.560 --> 22:37.160
it's going to be really

22:37.160 --> 22:37.660
dang cool.

22:38.140 --> 22:39.320
Been frantically putting

22:39.320 --> 22:41.620
together a rather grand use

22:42.300 --> 22:43.420
symphony of anarchy,

22:43.820 --> 22:44.560
but compatible.

22:44.980 --> 22:45.940
I'm not calling it that.

22:46.160 --> 22:47.000
For the public.

22:48.100 --> 22:49.000
Molotov cocktail.

22:49.180 --> 22:50.060
No, it will be a

22:50.060 --> 22:51.800
Molotov cocktail free event.

22:53.600 --> 22:54.960
But designing it

22:54.960 --> 22:56.200
for the normal people

22:56.780 --> 22:58.420
who they want to get along.

22:58.680 --> 23:00.080
They want the innocent people

23:00.080 --> 23:00.640
protected.

23:00.900 --> 23:01.780
They don't like corruption.

23:02.100 --> 23:02.700
They don't really like

23:02.700 --> 23:03.540
warmongering.

23:04.040 --> 23:05.200
Yeah, they still vote.

23:05.340 --> 23:05.920
They still believe

23:05.920 --> 23:06.940
in political masters.

23:07.360 --> 23:08.380
They're scared of one side

23:08.380 --> 23:09.200
more than they're scared

23:09.200 --> 23:10.040
of the other side.

23:11.320 --> 23:12.980
But to think that

23:12.980 --> 23:14.240
people can't change,

23:14.840 --> 23:15.360
I mean, to think that

23:15.360 --> 23:17.100
society can't change quickly.

23:17.960 --> 23:18.720
You have to believe

23:18.720 --> 23:20.080
that people can't change quickly.

23:20.740 --> 23:21.880
And if you haven't seen

23:21.880 --> 23:23.180
anybody change

23:23.180 --> 23:24.240
relatively quickly,

23:24.840 --> 23:25.240
do you not?

23:25.660 --> 23:26.480
I mean, are there any

23:26.480 --> 23:27.540
volunteers out there

23:27.540 --> 23:28.380
who don't know?

23:28.520 --> 23:29.760
I mean, you may be the one.

23:30.220 --> 23:31.740
Do you not know somebody

23:32.320 --> 23:33.520
who changed their mind?

23:33.600 --> 23:34.660
Like in the last six months

23:34.660 --> 23:35.460
in the last year

23:35.460 --> 23:36.960
and went from sadists

23:36.960 --> 23:37.460
to volunteers?

23:37.740 --> 23:38.220
I mean, I know

23:38.220 --> 23:39.400
hundreds and hundreds of them.

23:39.960 --> 23:40.760
But, you know,

23:41.020 --> 23:42.000
I'm maybe in contact

23:42.000 --> 23:43.080
with more people than you.

23:43.700 --> 23:44.600
Do you know anybody?

23:44.600 --> 23:45.760
And you're allowed to count

23:45.760 --> 23:47.240
yourself if you're one of them

23:47.240 --> 23:49.020
because lots of you are

23:49.560 --> 23:50.420
one of those people.

23:51.760 --> 23:53.780
But to see a person change,

23:53.980 --> 23:54.760
you realize, oh, well,

23:54.760 --> 23:55.360
this is a shit.

23:55.480 --> 23:57.000
That person went all the way

23:57.000 --> 23:58.860
from mentally enslaved

23:58.860 --> 24:00.080
to mentally free.

24:00.240 --> 24:01.000
Yeah, they're still robbed

24:01.000 --> 24:01.640
and bossed around

24:01.640 --> 24:02.980
and they can do what they can

24:02.980 --> 24:03.740
to try to minimize

24:03.740 --> 24:05.740
the authoritarian control

24:05.740 --> 24:06.380
over them.

24:06.760 --> 24:08.220
But they no longer feel

24:08.220 --> 24:09.400
beholden to the master.

24:10.560 --> 24:11.500
Well, if a person

24:11.500 --> 24:12.660
can go that quickly

24:12.660 --> 24:13.520
from there to there,

24:13.580 --> 24:14.440
it's just a matter of,

24:14.440 --> 24:16.080
OK, well, how many people are doing that?

24:16.520 --> 24:17.660
And what do we do

24:17.660 --> 24:19.020
to get more people

24:19.020 --> 24:20.420
doing that more quickly?

24:21.480 --> 24:23.300
Because however you picture it

24:23.300 --> 24:24.060
happening,

24:25.060 --> 24:26.200
you have to know

24:26.200 --> 24:27.480
that somewhere between

24:28.160 --> 24:29.060
where we are

24:29.060 --> 24:30.520
and 100 percent of the population,

24:31.260 --> 24:32.860
if a certain percentage

24:32.860 --> 24:33.680
of the population

24:33.680 --> 24:35.360
stops believing in the state,

24:35.520 --> 24:36.240
the state is doomed.

24:37.060 --> 24:38.000
It just falls over.

24:38.480 --> 24:39.740
Doesn't nearly have the power

24:39.740 --> 24:40.700
to enforce anything

24:40.700 --> 24:42.260
if a bunch of people just say,

24:42.280 --> 24:42.840
yeah, we're not playing

24:42.840 --> 24:43.660
a stupid game anymore.

24:44.440 --> 24:45.160
Not giving you money,

24:45.300 --> 24:46.060
not cooperating,

24:46.160 --> 24:47.040
not reporting anything,

24:47.280 --> 24:48.440
not squealing on our neighbors,

24:48.640 --> 24:49.900
not acting as enforcers

24:49.900 --> 24:50.960
for you slimeballs.

24:51.780 --> 24:52.440
Yeah, we're done.

24:52.880 --> 24:53.820
We don't recognize you

24:53.820 --> 24:54.380
as having the right

24:54.380 --> 24:55.380
to do anything anymore.

24:55.500 --> 24:55.800
Screw you.

24:57.160 --> 24:58.220
You have to know

24:58.220 --> 24:59.500
that if a big enough percentage

24:59.500 --> 25:00.800
of the population does that,

25:01.060 --> 25:02.320
any empire is going to fall over.

25:02.640 --> 25:02.880
It might get,

25:02.960 --> 25:03.960
might try to get nasty

25:03.960 --> 25:04.400
in between

25:05.060 --> 25:06.020
out of desperation,

25:06.020 --> 25:07.540
but it's still going to fall over.

25:08.800 --> 25:10.600
So to believe that humanity

25:10.600 --> 25:12.580
cannot significantly change

25:12.580 --> 25:14.180
in a relatively short amount of time,

25:14.440 --> 25:15.380
you have to believe

25:15.380 --> 25:16.800
that there's some magic rule

25:16.800 --> 25:18.140
that says a bunch of people

25:18.140 --> 25:19.120
can't change their mind

25:19.120 --> 25:19.660
all at once.

25:20.660 --> 25:21.920
I could point to you,

25:21.940 --> 25:23.760
you to several thousand people

25:24.280 --> 25:25.740
who in the last five years

25:25.740 --> 25:26.840
went from being status

25:26.840 --> 25:28.000
to being volunteers,

25:28.540 --> 25:30.120
like thousands of them.

25:31.040 --> 25:32.760
Now, if it was hundreds of thousands

25:32.760 --> 25:33.620
or millions,

25:34.380 --> 25:35.380
that's pretty close

25:35.380 --> 25:36.440
to the end of statism.

25:36.900 --> 25:38.540
Not just putting up

25:38.540 --> 25:39.380
a new ruling class,

25:39.520 --> 25:40.300
knocking over this one

25:40.300 --> 25:41.020
and putting up a new one,

25:41.100 --> 25:42.220
that doesn't really accomplish anything,

25:42.420 --> 25:43.740
but people actually

25:43.740 --> 25:45.160
escaping the cycle.

25:46.500 --> 25:48.080
And so, yeah,

25:48.380 --> 25:48.900
I, you know,

25:49.140 --> 25:50.580
I don't have that much faith

25:50.580 --> 25:51.840
that I can talk everybody

25:51.840 --> 25:52.760
into the possibility

25:52.760 --> 25:54.500
to give a fundamental shift

25:54.500 --> 25:55.640
in human society.

25:56.240 --> 25:57.000
And in fact,

25:57.120 --> 25:58.360
15 or 20 years ago,

25:58.420 --> 25:59.380
maybe even just 10,

25:59.900 --> 26:00.940
if you had asked me,

26:01.080 --> 26:02.180
will there be a fundamental change

26:02.180 --> 26:02.740
in your lifetime?

26:02.960 --> 26:03.440
I'd say, no,

26:03.720 --> 26:04.780
I'm going to hit my head

26:04.780 --> 26:05.560
against a brick wall

26:05.560 --> 26:06.660
and scream this

26:06.660 --> 26:07.520
from the rooftops

26:07.520 --> 26:08.380
with whoever else

26:08.380 --> 26:08.920
is going to help.

26:09.040 --> 26:10.220
And maybe in a few centuries,

26:10.220 --> 26:11.360
people will figure out,

26:12.060 --> 26:13.280
that's absolutely what I thought,

26:13.280 --> 26:14.560
pretty damn recently.

26:14.940 --> 26:16.020
I changed my mind

26:16.020 --> 26:17.960
about humanity's ability

26:17.960 --> 26:18.860
to change,

26:19.540 --> 26:20.640
having talked to lots

26:20.640 --> 26:21.420
and lots of people

26:22.140 --> 26:23.040
and realizing

26:23.040 --> 26:24.220
if there was a town

26:24.220 --> 26:24.880
of a hundred people

26:24.880 --> 26:25.800
or a thousand people,

26:26.460 --> 26:26.680
I was like,

26:26.700 --> 26:27.560
can I call a town meeting

26:27.560 --> 26:28.420
and talk to you people?

26:28.800 --> 26:29.840
Our mayor

26:29.840 --> 26:31.400
is a power happy creep,

26:31.720 --> 26:32.600
and it wouldn't take

26:32.600 --> 26:33.440
very many of us

26:33.440 --> 26:35.280
to completely demolish

26:35.280 --> 26:36.060
his power system.

26:37.580 --> 26:38.640
I bet I could get

26:38.640 --> 26:39.260
a whole town

26:39.260 --> 26:40.420
to completely crumble

26:40.420 --> 26:42.080
the political system.

26:42.080 --> 26:42.540
I mean,

26:42.600 --> 26:43.740
a little town like that.

26:45.320 --> 26:46.660
And then it's just

26:46.660 --> 26:47.540
a matter of scale.

26:47.860 --> 26:49.180
Can you get the message

26:49.180 --> 26:50.040
to enough people?

26:50.600 --> 26:51.820
And the first question is,

26:52.060 --> 26:53.280
are you trying to?

26:55.120 --> 26:56.940
Or did you stop trying

26:56.940 --> 26:58.560
because you can't imagine

26:59.140 --> 27:00.260
that big a change

27:00.260 --> 27:01.060
actually happening?

27:02.620 --> 27:04.280
So I would challenge people

27:04.980 --> 27:05.460
to,

27:05.740 --> 27:06.400
well, first of all,

27:06.460 --> 27:07.260
if you can be at

27:07.260 --> 27:08.340
our July 18th event,

27:08.560 --> 27:08.980
be there.

27:09.740 --> 27:10.540
And if not,

27:10.660 --> 27:11.260
you can get

27:11.260 --> 27:11.880
on the Rose Channel.

27:12.060 --> 27:13.380
There'll be snippets of it

27:13.380 --> 27:14.120
posted on YouTube

27:14.120 --> 27:14.640
for free,

27:14.740 --> 27:15.240
but the whole thing

27:15.240 --> 27:16.300
Rose Channel subscribers

27:16.300 --> 27:16.900
will get.

27:19.640 --> 27:20.680
One of the purposes

27:20.680 --> 27:21.200
of that,

27:21.300 --> 27:21.800
like I said,

27:21.900 --> 27:22.640
is to talk to the

27:22.640 --> 27:23.280
general public

27:23.280 --> 27:24.420
and get them

27:24.420 --> 27:25.180
started thinking

27:25.180 --> 27:26.000
in the right direction

27:26.600 --> 27:27.820
just to be consistent

27:27.820 --> 27:28.980
with their own values

27:28.980 --> 27:29.960
and what they want

27:29.960 --> 27:30.320
because

27:30.940 --> 27:32.000
zero people who

27:32.000 --> 27:33.340
believe in political power

27:33.340 --> 27:34.260
are consistent side

27:34.260 --> 27:34.740
their own heads.

27:35.040 --> 27:35.720
I totally wasn't

27:35.720 --> 27:36.260
when I was.

27:36.840 --> 27:37.780
So that's one of the

27:37.780 --> 27:38.960
goals of my book

27:38.960 --> 27:39.760
and the event.

27:40.380 --> 27:41.540
The other goal

27:41.540 --> 27:42.500
is to have people

27:42.500 --> 27:44.080
who already understand this

27:44.740 --> 27:46.180
able to visualize

27:46.840 --> 27:47.320
Oh,

27:47.340 --> 27:48.620
this is all it takes.

27:49.080 --> 27:49.560
No,

27:49.580 --> 27:50.400
you don't have to get

27:50.400 --> 27:51.540
the world to understand

27:51.540 --> 27:52.760
Austrian economics

27:52.760 --> 27:53.700
or know what the

27:53.700 --> 27:54.440
hell that means.

27:55.080 --> 27:56.080
You don't even have

27:56.080 --> 27:57.200
to get them to understand

27:57.200 --> 27:58.060
the non-aggression

27:58.060 --> 27:58.660
principle

27:58.660 --> 28:00.160
or voluntaryism.

28:01.140 --> 28:02.740
Like it's fine if they do.

28:02.940 --> 28:03.620
It's nice if people

28:03.620 --> 28:04.040
want to think

28:04.040 --> 28:04.860
about that stuff.

28:06.400 --> 28:07.900
But the ability

28:07.900 --> 28:09.580
of humanity to change

28:10.300 --> 28:11.640
is only limited

28:11.640 --> 28:12.600
by a few factors.

28:12.940 --> 28:13.700
And for the most part

28:13.700 --> 28:14.720
it's been very limited

28:14.720 --> 28:15.480
by controlled

28:16.080 --> 28:16.560
communications

28:16.560 --> 28:17.340
where the state

28:17.340 --> 28:18.060
like

28:18.540 --> 28:19.500
it's really hard

28:19.500 --> 28:20.320
for one person to go

28:20.320 --> 28:21.260
Oh, I have an idea.

28:21.320 --> 28:22.380
I want to tell some people about.

28:22.840 --> 28:24.160
Now it's really damn easy.

28:24.880 --> 28:26.360
Will it be viral?

28:26.560 --> 28:27.360
Will it get a bunch of attention?

28:27.600 --> 28:28.780
Well, obviously the

28:28.780 --> 28:30.400
the machine

28:30.400 --> 28:32.280
is trying to stomp any ideas

28:32.280 --> 28:33.580
that pose any threat to it

28:34.140 --> 28:35.280
with some success

28:35.280 --> 28:37.420
and also with a lot of failures

28:37.420 --> 28:38.520
because the ideas

28:38.520 --> 28:39.820
are still getting out there

28:39.820 --> 28:40.640
and they're in comments

28:40.640 --> 28:41.380
all over the place.

28:42.320 --> 28:43.900
But I would say

28:44.580 --> 28:45.240
if you

28:46.300 --> 28:47.660
if you really and truly

28:47.660 --> 28:48.700
believe that humanity

28:48.700 --> 28:50.180
cannot fundamentally change

28:50.180 --> 28:51.220
and I'm not talking about

28:51.220 --> 28:52.460
everybody suddenly

28:52.460 --> 28:53.320
becoming wise,

28:53.620 --> 28:54.680
enlightened saints

28:54.680 --> 28:56.120
like that's not going to happen

28:56.120 --> 28:56.780
and I'm not even

28:56.780 --> 28:57.940
trying to have that happen.

28:58.700 --> 29:00.840
But if you cannot imagine

29:01.660 --> 29:03.400
humanity fundamentally changing

29:03.400 --> 29:04.560
in a short amount of time

29:05.040 --> 29:06.060
I would basically

29:06.060 --> 29:07.460
dare you to

29:07.460 --> 29:08.840
well be at our event

29:08.840 --> 29:09.520
if you can

29:10.400 --> 29:11.280
July 18th

29:11.280 --> 29:12.440
or read the book

29:12.440 --> 29:13.140
when it comes out

29:13.140 --> 29:14.440
right after July 18th

29:14.440 --> 29:15.480
by the way I'm about to start

29:15.480 --> 29:16.900
taking pre-orders for the book

29:18.100 --> 29:18.860
or just

29:18.860 --> 29:20.520
watch some of the tidbits of it

29:20.520 --> 29:22.020
the videos they get posted

29:22.020 --> 29:22.680
here and there

29:24.120 --> 29:25.900
and see if you can't

29:25.900 --> 29:26.660
start to imagine

29:26.660 --> 29:27.580
what it would look like

29:27.580 --> 29:28.560
because so many people

29:28.560 --> 29:29.760
get stuck in the mindset

29:29.760 --> 29:30.880
of well this is what I know

29:30.880 --> 29:31.700
this is what I see

29:31.700 --> 29:32.700
day in and day out

29:32.700 --> 29:33.520
I see people playing

29:33.520 --> 29:34.320
this stupid game

29:34.320 --> 29:35.780
they believe the politicians

29:35.780 --> 29:36.780
they fall for the divine

29:36.780 --> 29:37.260
gongar

29:37.260 --> 29:38.160
so frustrating

29:38.160 --> 29:40.040
yeah I totally sympathize

29:40.040 --> 29:41.020
I can totally relate

29:41.550 --> 29:42.860
I've been able to relate to that

29:42.860 --> 29:43.660
for many years

29:44.720 --> 29:47.180
but if you can't imagine

29:47.950 --> 29:49.100
a bunch of people

29:49.100 --> 29:50.500
one way or another

29:51.100 --> 29:52.700
suddenly coming across an idea

29:52.700 --> 29:53.160
and going

29:53.900 --> 29:54.920
huh well I mean

29:54.920 --> 29:56.400
that kind of makes a point

29:57.140 --> 29:58.600
is government just

29:58.600 --> 29:59.920
complete BS

29:59.920 --> 30:01.560
and it never really served us

30:02.290 --> 30:03.080
right now

30:03.080 --> 30:05.120
huge numbers of people

30:05.860 --> 30:07.940
are more able to have that

30:07.940 --> 30:08.780
conversation

30:08.780 --> 30:10.720
than they have ever been before

30:11.520 --> 30:12.840
partly because of the COVID

30:12.840 --> 30:13.240
circus

30:13.240 --> 30:14.600
partly because of the

30:14.600 --> 30:15.700
mango Mussolini

30:16.560 --> 30:16.980
circus

30:17.800 --> 30:19.460
a lot of people are ready

30:19.460 --> 30:20.340
for the discussion

30:20.340 --> 30:22.660
and has to start at their level

30:23.620 --> 30:25.060
not as a philosophical

30:25.060 --> 30:26.340
treatise that they don't

30:26.340 --> 30:26.900
understand

30:26.900 --> 30:27.940
you know talking about

30:27.940 --> 30:29.220
concepts they've never even

30:29.220 --> 30:29.760
pondered

30:30.720 --> 30:31.780
but approaching them

30:31.780 --> 30:32.640
where they are

30:32.640 --> 30:34.140
and showing them

30:34.700 --> 30:35.660
a better world

30:35.660 --> 30:36.940
and how you get there

30:37.580 --> 30:38.620
showing them how we

30:38.620 --> 30:40.240
yes this is going to be cliche

30:40.240 --> 30:42.660
how we approach humanity

30:42.660 --> 30:43.700
and what humanity

30:43.700 --> 30:44.600
should be

30:45.700 --> 30:47.260
anyway I'll shut up for now

30:48.580 --> 30:49.780
if you can be

30:49.780 --> 30:52.160
in Sedona on July 18th

30:52.160 --> 30:52.680
be there

30:52.680 --> 30:53.820
it will be a grand time

30:53.820 --> 30:54.720
it'll be an event

30:54.720 --> 30:56.060
unlike anything you've ever seen

30:56.060 --> 30:57.740
unlike anything I've ever seen

30:58.460 --> 31:00.120
and we are frantically putting

31:00.120 --> 31:00.640
together

31:01.260 --> 31:02.640
quite the presentation

31:02.640 --> 31:03.440
which will be

31:04.140 --> 31:05.040
fun and entertaining

31:05.040 --> 31:06.180
in addition to being

31:07.440 --> 31:07.960
informative

31:08.520 --> 31:09.040
and

31:09.940 --> 31:11.220
kind of paradigm

31:11.220 --> 31:12.220
smashing for

31:12.220 --> 31:13.120
a bunch of people

31:13.760 --> 31:14.280
so

31:14.280 --> 31:15.180
be there

31:15.180 --> 31:16.100
or read the book

31:16.100 --> 31:16.740
or just

31:16.740 --> 31:18.340
talk to people on your own

31:18.340 --> 31:19.780
you don't really need me

31:20.640 --> 31:21.160
you

31:21.160 --> 31:22.960
if you understand these ideas

31:22.960 --> 31:23.800
by the way if you want to

31:23.800 --> 31:25.060
be better at communicating them

31:25.060 --> 31:27.060
you can try candles in the dark

31:27.680 --> 31:29.340
the one thing I would say is

31:29.340 --> 31:30.260
don't give up

31:30.260 --> 31:31.100
because I guarantee

31:31.620 --> 31:32.980
the world doesn't change

31:32.980 --> 31:34.600
if the people who know

31:35.160 --> 31:36.600
a truth that the world needs

31:36.600 --> 31:38.100
don't say it

31:38.100 --> 31:39.000
they think

31:39.000 --> 31:40.240
well nobody's gonna listen

31:40.240 --> 31:41.600
well nobody's gonna listen

31:41.600 --> 31:42.600
if you're not saying it

31:42.600 --> 31:43.760
if everybody around you

31:43.760 --> 31:44.460
isn't saying it

31:44.460 --> 31:45.560
because you've all decided

31:45.560 --> 31:47.460
oh resistance is futile

31:47.460 --> 31:48.620
nobody's ever gonna wake up

31:49.460 --> 31:50.300
so yes

31:50.300 --> 31:51.280
people are going to

31:51.280 --> 31:52.560
people still are

31:52.560 --> 31:54.060
I see it on a daily basis

31:54.800 --> 31:55.920
and so to

31:55.920 --> 31:56.940
to give up now

31:56.940 --> 31:58.240
when the battle is literally

31:58.240 --> 31:59.820
easier than it's ever been

31:59.820 --> 32:00.800
in the history of the world

32:01.560 --> 32:02.800
that's pretty spineless

32:03.370 --> 32:03.580
okay

32:04.860 --> 32:05.920
blatantly insult you

32:05.920 --> 32:07.180
it used to be

32:07.180 --> 32:07.700
if you said

32:07.700 --> 32:08.720
oh the king is a fank

32:08.720 --> 32:09.820
you get your head chopped off

32:10.660 --> 32:11.780
or if you say that

32:11.780 --> 32:12.180
you know

32:12.180 --> 32:13.300
if you hand out pamphlets

32:13.300 --> 32:14.500
and on the third right

32:14.500 --> 32:15.740
you might get your head chopped off

32:16.180 --> 32:17.360
now you can say it

32:17.360 --> 32:18.300
and you won't get your head

32:18.300 --> 32:18.820
chopped off

32:18.820 --> 32:19.780
you won't get shot

32:20.520 --> 32:21.560
other people may go

32:21.560 --> 32:22.840
oh I disagree with that

32:22.840 --> 32:23.620
what do you do

32:23.620 --> 32:24.980
if you can't say something

32:24.980 --> 32:26.360
for fear of somebody

32:26.360 --> 32:27.400
disagreeing with you

32:27.400 --> 32:28.240
holy smokes

32:28.240 --> 32:30.020
and just please stay out of the way

32:30.480 --> 32:30.900
well

32:30.900 --> 32:32.280
while some of us

32:32.280 --> 32:33.960
state the bleeding obvious

32:33.960 --> 32:35.360
in a way that hopefully

32:35.360 --> 32:36.160
other people

32:36.160 --> 32:37.180
can pay attention to

32:37.180 --> 32:38.060
and learn from

32:39.340 --> 32:40.300
so yes

32:40.300 --> 32:42.180
not only do I think that

32:42.180 --> 32:44.360
humanity can fundamentally change

32:44.360 --> 32:45.000
very quickly

32:45.000 --> 32:45.700
I think it is

32:45.700 --> 32:47.420
absolutely going to

32:47.420 --> 32:48.540
and it's going to be in the

32:48.540 --> 32:49.620
very near future

32:50.980 --> 32:51.940
much closer

32:51.940 --> 32:53.140
than I would have said

32:53.140 --> 32:54.740
10 or 20 years ago

32:54.740 --> 32:55.340
I would have said

32:55.340 --> 32:56.840
how that's way down the road

32:57.320 --> 32:59.100
it's not so way down the road

32:59.100 --> 32:59.480
anymore

32:59.480 --> 33:00.880
and you don't have to

33:00.880 --> 33:01.880
take my word for it

33:02.280 --> 33:04.280
but don't stop trying

33:04.280 --> 33:06.180
just because you can't imagine

33:06.180 --> 33:07.240
what it would look like

33:07.240 --> 33:08.280
for the world

33:08.280 --> 33:09.440
to suddenly

33:10.560 --> 33:11.580
lots of them

33:12.220 --> 33:14.120
not be mentally enslaved

33:14.120 --> 33:16.180
by the superstition of authority

33:16.180 --> 33:18.080
because that's going to happen

33:18.680 --> 33:19.440
very soon
