We don't say anything. 02:08.180 --> 02:11.800 It's something I've talked about things related to this before 02:12.820 --> 02:17.480 in almost every business, like in the world, 02:17.480 --> 02:19.420 the approach is. 02:21.460 --> 02:22.620 Panda to the customer. 02:23.380 --> 02:27.140 Panda sort of sounds like an insult, but doing what the customer wants. 02:27.280 --> 02:31.780 If you're making widgets or you're mowing lawns, what does the customer want? 02:32.000 --> 02:34.440 That's the focus. That's the starting point. 02:34.960 --> 02:36.580 Yeah, the goal is to make money. 02:36.800 --> 02:37.940 That's where you want to end up. 02:37.980 --> 02:39.880 But it's like, what does the customer want? 02:39.960 --> 02:41.940 We serve the customer. The customer is always right. 02:42.040 --> 02:45.220 All that stuff because without a customer, you don't make any money 02:45.220 --> 02:46.160 in the business. 02:48.560 --> 02:54.000 And the title of this is Professional Stuff Sayers. 02:54.660 --> 02:58.660 People who say stuff and there's lots and lots of them. 02:58.700 --> 03:01.420 And I'm sure you've seen lots of talking heads all over the place 03:02.040 --> 03:05.380 who get paid to say stuff. 03:06.620 --> 03:10.640 Now, when people can get paid to here, I'm going to advertise 03:10.640 --> 03:13.700 this shampoo or something, which is just a neutral. 03:14.370 --> 03:18.060 You know, there's nothing diabolical about, hey, I like this product. 03:18.340 --> 03:19.020 I'm endorsing it. 03:19.420 --> 03:21.200 But when it comes to political stuff, 03:22.000 --> 03:25.060 almost all people who are paid to say stuff 03:25.770 --> 03:29.220 are paid to say stuff to serve a political agenda 03:29.770 --> 03:33.900 that is getting funded in one way or another by way of stolen money 03:34.650 --> 03:36.200 the government stealing stuff. 03:37.560 --> 03:41.040 Republican Party, the Democratic Party, like it's all like 03:41.040 --> 03:44.140 we're going to run for office and fill in all your money 03:44.140 --> 03:46.180 because you just really want to help mankind. 03:46.500 --> 03:48.760 Or because, you know, for a while when you get there, 03:48.860 --> 03:52.180 you will then have leverage to be able to do things with government 03:52.180 --> 03:55.820 violence, and then people with money will give you money 03:56.300 --> 03:58.780 to force the violence in a certain direction. 03:59.120 --> 04:02.820 This kind of a strain from selling numbers around the fabric. 04:03.020 --> 04:03.520 This is not right. 04:03.760 --> 04:06.920 So, so almost all those guys 04:06.920 --> 04:11.800 who are doing political stuff is going to go to naturally 04:11.800 --> 04:13.180 for a natural, for government, natural, 04:13.880 --> 04:16.640 besides that, it's naturally, naturally 04:16.640 --> 04:20.280 to the political agenda and to do exactly that 04:21.700 --> 04:25.240 and not just force them to follow normal, 04:25.320 --> 04:28.560 I apologize, they're going to believe it. 04:28.640 --> 04:29.460 It's just a belief in stuff. 04:29.580 --> 04:30.800 So right now, for right now, 04:30.880 --> 04:32.800 you're going to have to talk to your parents. 05:02.800 --> 05:02.900 I can't. 05:02.900 --> 05:04.000 But it is it is your 05:05.640 --> 05:08.420 lies to us all lists or put 05:08.420 --> 05:11.640 you know, finding. 05:12.160 --> 05:16.000 Johnson Jonathan to some extent. 05:17.140 --> 05:19.120 We much like but I love 05:19.120 --> 05:21.840 And of course, the liberty of the side and the moment 05:21.840 --> 05:24.840 and the liberty of the source, of course, 05:26.100 --> 05:28.060 revealed the feeling to the willing 05:28.060 --> 05:29.960 to have been taught of the job offer 05:29.960 --> 05:35.080 of jump-ship, to be the king, to say what they mean to us, 05:35.180 --> 05:37.060 being told the same thing, the truth. 05:37.580 --> 05:40.820 We saw lots of people sort of go off the bandwagon 05:40.820 --> 05:44.460 that were like, to slain me, to sort of be pro-freedom 05:44.460 --> 05:46.040 and they obviously weren't. 05:46.040 --> 05:48.400 It's like people thought, you know, 05:48.580 --> 05:51.300 the grand fall was going to be appropriate 05:51.300 --> 05:52.400 and despite the vision of politician. 05:53.000 --> 05:54.180 And it's like, he's a politician. 05:54.720 --> 05:56.740 He's signed by definition already. 05:57.020 --> 05:58.720 One of those professional stuff-sayers, 05:58.780 --> 06:00.700 like he has multiple influences on him, 06:00.740 --> 06:01.940 even if he sounds like a lot of folks. 06:01.980 --> 06:06.380 Of course, of course, he went the way of just, 06:06.680 --> 06:08.620 it was just basically thinking to me, 06:08.700 --> 06:10.580 I think it's been because that didn't turn out, 06:10.580 --> 06:11.760 that didn't turn out to be anything 06:11.760 --> 06:14.400 because he's just, he's bought off by the sort of, 06:14.400 --> 06:15.600 circus already. 06:15.980 --> 06:18.780 And so, even like, step on mono, 06:19.000 --> 06:21.460 which is the way this guy that was for a while back 06:21.460 --> 06:25.700 in like 2012, 2013, speaking strictly voluntary as principles 06:25.700 --> 06:27.620 and all the way sounded like an anarchist 06:27.620 --> 06:28.620 and was all the way there 06:28.980 --> 06:30.260 and talking about real freedom. 06:31.120 --> 06:35.560 And then it became obvious that there was some other influence 06:35.560 --> 06:38.360 because he jumped ship out of nowhere 06:38.360 --> 06:41.140 in a way that someone who thinks that way to real 06:41.140 --> 06:43.340 doesn't do, unless there's an incentive to. 06:43.980 --> 06:47.900 And so there's so many situations in which 06:49.100 --> 06:51.080 the professional stuff-saying thing, 06:51.460 --> 06:54.340 it's like, well, if you wanna say something 06:54.340 --> 06:57.200 and you believe in it, and that's really what you believe. 06:57.860 --> 06:58.720 And then someone's like, 06:58.800 --> 07:00.620 hey, I wanna throw money at you and support you 07:00.620 --> 07:01.560 continuing to say that, 07:01.640 --> 07:03.240 because I know it costs you a lot of your time. 07:03.680 --> 07:04.780 That's one thing, that's great. 07:05.500 --> 07:08.340 But most of what you see in the world isn't that. 07:08.580 --> 07:11.720 You can see that most people in anywhere up close 07:11.720 --> 07:13.620 to commenting on politics, 07:13.720 --> 07:15.600 even if it's anti-politics or talking about it, 07:16.140 --> 07:21.320 still have some sort of organization or group of people 07:21.320 --> 07:25.380 or small company or committee or pact or board 07:25.380 --> 07:27.660 or something that's like, okay, 07:27.720 --> 07:31.220 but we would like to influence, we like your audience 07:31.220 --> 07:32.200 and we want your audience. 07:32.340 --> 07:33.960 So we're gonna pay you 07:33.960 --> 07:37.820 and then we hope to nudge what you say by us paying you. 07:37.880 --> 07:38.720 And that's a lot of the world. 07:38.720 --> 07:42.260 Yeah, and it can totally be like people are, 07:42.420 --> 07:44.580 oh, this politician goes out there 07:44.580 --> 07:46.620 and he criticizes the new war. 07:47.320 --> 07:49.660 Okay, but what is he being paid to say? 07:49.820 --> 07:51.520 That's why you need to vote for Democrats. 07:52.080 --> 07:55.980 Okay, so you're still a parasite of government extortion. 07:56.300 --> 07:58.220 You're pretending to be in principle 07:58.220 --> 08:01.040 against this particular example of authoritarian bullshit, 08:01.320 --> 08:02.220 but you're not. 08:02.400 --> 08:03.960 You're just in favor of a different flavor 08:03.960 --> 08:05.000 of authoritarian bullshit. 08:05.660 --> 08:11.800 And it's just economically speaking, it's weird. 08:11.900 --> 08:12.820 I've talked about this before. 08:13.080 --> 08:14.960 It's weird for me to be in a position 08:14.960 --> 08:18.120 where almost everybody who knows me 08:18.120 --> 08:21.360 knows that supporting me makes no difference 08:21.360 --> 08:22.820 to what I'm gonna say. 08:23.340 --> 08:25.120 Like, I'm gonna say what I believe. 08:25.320 --> 08:26.420 If you give me nothing, 08:27.080 --> 08:29.800 like the vast majority of you have given me nothing 08:30.180 --> 08:31.380 and I say what I think, 08:31.900 --> 08:33.380 if you give me a million dollars, 08:33.380 --> 08:35.120 I'm gonna say the exact same thing. 08:35.180 --> 08:39.080 So there's no return to the person donating 08:39.080 --> 08:41.360 unlike when it's like a political committee. 08:41.440 --> 08:44.420 We want you to go out and push this bill or stop saying, 08:44.660 --> 08:46.000 I mean, even the Libertarian Party, 08:47.260 --> 08:50.180 I happen to have some inside channels 08:50.180 --> 08:52.280 knowing that people high up in that 08:52.280 --> 08:55.460 were very much just being paid to be ponds 08:55.460 --> 08:58.500 of the political establishment and like, 08:58.540 --> 09:00.360 well, we're gonna get these Libertarian voters 09:00.360 --> 09:02.980 to support Trump because these people paid this 09:02.980 --> 09:05.240 and it just turns into this atrocity. 09:05.540 --> 09:07.680 Even if a bunch of people involved in the party 09:07.680 --> 09:08.940 think they're for freedom, 09:09.780 --> 09:13.360 it's still most of the influence comes from money 09:13.360 --> 09:17.200 from a ruling class robbing shit out of people. 09:18.020 --> 09:20.000 And I'm gonna say the same thing either way. 09:20.720 --> 09:24.560 So you get this, mostly I'm a free stuff sayer 09:24.560 --> 09:28.060 because like my YouTube videos are free and all that. 09:29.220 --> 09:31.360 But you get this weird dynamic 09:31.360 --> 09:34.300 where some people support what we do, 09:35.200 --> 09:36.560 but it isn't for them. 09:36.780 --> 09:38.400 It's like, yeah, we already know this. 09:38.680 --> 09:39.560 Like sometimes they're like, 09:39.600 --> 09:41.300 hey, I like your video about that or whatever. 09:41.460 --> 09:43.940 But it's not like, wow, that really changed our mind. 09:44.000 --> 09:45.240 It's like, well, we already knew that. 09:45.380 --> 09:46.660 We already are a volunteerist. 09:47.100 --> 09:50.440 So the ones donating when people do 09:51.320 --> 09:53.800 aren't even donating for their benefit. 09:53.960 --> 09:56.360 They're donating because they want other people to hear it, 09:56.800 --> 09:59.460 which is sort of a weird financial setup 10:00.180 --> 10:03.200 because if you remove the customer, 10:03.700 --> 10:05.780 if you remove the person paying for it, 10:05.880 --> 10:10.320 for who's getting the benefit, it's economically weird. 10:10.660 --> 10:13.860 Like those of you who understand Austrian economics know that. 10:14.180 --> 10:16.940 If the person paying isn't the one who gets the thing, 10:17.460 --> 10:19.480 it makes for a strange dynamic 10:20.440 --> 10:23.160 because most of the people getting the message, 10:24.100 --> 10:26.720 they at least don't want it right now. 10:27.280 --> 10:31.740 And there've been lots of people who have later on said, 10:31.740 --> 10:33.380 yeah, I'm gonna donate some to you 10:33.380 --> 10:35.800 because like you help change my life 10:35.800 --> 10:37.740 or the most dangerous superstition or whatever. 10:39.040 --> 10:42.180 But they all say back then, I really didn't want to hear it. 10:42.240 --> 10:42.860 I thought you were crazy. 10:42.880 --> 10:44.080 I thought this was ridiculous. 10:44.420 --> 10:46.160 So back then they're not gonna like, 10:46.300 --> 10:48.760 I'm gonna pay you to say something I think is stupid 10:48.760 --> 10:51.440 and ridiculous and unrealistic and utopian. 10:52.260 --> 10:54.440 So back then they have no reason to want to support it. 10:54.880 --> 10:56.780 And then later they have no need to support it 10:56.780 --> 10:58.600 because like, okay, now I understand it. 10:58.660 --> 11:02.100 So I don't need you to pay you Larkin to say it again. 11:02.220 --> 11:03.220 I already understand it. 11:03.240 --> 11:05.280 I can tell myself that just as easily. 11:05.880 --> 11:07.180 So there's this weird dynamic. 11:07.440 --> 11:10.380 But a bunch of people have like later donated and said, 11:10.540 --> 11:13.700 I'm glad retroactively for stuff I learned 11:13.700 --> 11:15.240 from the books or movies or whatever. 11:16.880 --> 11:20.940 But it just makes for this weird dynamic 11:20.940 --> 11:22.620 where mostly the people who donate 11:22.620 --> 11:25.580 are donating for other people to hear it. 11:26.140 --> 11:29.520 Although there is the exception of candles in the dark 11:30.280 --> 11:32.800 where it is a thing we actually do 11:32.800 --> 11:37.000 and charge for targeting entirely voluntaryists, 11:37.540 --> 11:39.620 teaching them a way to talk to other people 11:39.620 --> 11:42.920 like a particular method and mindset 11:42.920 --> 11:44.580 of talking to other people without it 11:44.580 --> 11:47.580 being stressful and nasty and horrible. 11:48.360 --> 11:49.860 So like if you don't know, 11:49.860 --> 11:51.440 if you're somebody who doesn't know, 11:52.660 --> 11:55.240 Larkin and I put the candles in the dark seminar 11:55.240 --> 11:57.380 on the web a few years back 11:57.380 --> 11:59.280 because our friend Kason was like, 11:59.320 --> 12:00.500 you guys need to shoot your seminar. 12:00.660 --> 12:01.640 That's a two day seminar, 12:02.360 --> 12:04.740 teaching people how to communicate about liberty 12:04.740 --> 12:05.920 and have it online 12:06.560 --> 12:08.740 because you guys are losing money on this seminar. 12:09.100 --> 12:10.760 And candles in the dark, the seminar is, 12:10.920 --> 12:12.720 that's what it was, the seminar came about 12:12.720 --> 12:15.180 because we're in this weird space now 12:15.180 --> 12:17.480 where there's enough people who understand 12:17.480 --> 12:19.800 this idea called freedom and true freedom 12:20.500 --> 12:24.060 but they don't know how to reach their family with it 12:24.060 --> 12:26.480 and they don't know how to reach the hardest people 12:26.480 --> 12:28.500 to talk to about it that they feel are the most programmed. 12:30.060 --> 12:32.640 And most of humans when we like 12:33.220 --> 12:35.100 figure out something revolutionary to us, 12:35.500 --> 12:40.440 our response to that is not to tactfully go 12:40.440 --> 12:42.100 and ask other people questions 12:42.100 --> 12:44.980 that will lead them to wonder the same things we got to. 12:45.260 --> 12:46.240 That's not what we do. 12:46.700 --> 12:47.980 We tend to lose tact. 12:48.160 --> 12:52.620 We tend to get excited evangelical and like, oh my God, 12:52.700 --> 12:53.760 I have this cool idea. 12:53.940 --> 12:54.500 You gotta listen to it. 12:54.740 --> 12:56.620 And like, or, you know, 12:56.700 --> 12:58.020 or it's from the negative end of it. 12:58.080 --> 13:00.100 It's like, you need to listen to me. 13:00.160 --> 13:01.460 There's this important message. 13:01.460 --> 13:02.760 And if we don't get it out there 13:03.220 --> 13:07.760 and like those two different things make it 13:07.760 --> 13:12.080 so that like communication just falls apart there. 13:12.080 --> 13:13.760 And then you have all these divides 13:13.760 --> 13:16.120 where people who are trying to just say, 13:16.120 --> 13:17.940 hey, I'm actually about freedom. 13:18.020 --> 13:20.380 I just want you to listen to me talk about real freedom 13:20.380 --> 13:22.880 for a minute or triggering or alienating 13:22.880 --> 13:23.920 or whatever family members 13:24.380 --> 13:25.880 and their family members aren't, 13:25.940 --> 13:27.140 they're just programmed status. 13:27.320 --> 13:28.780 They aren't trying to be alienated 13:28.780 --> 13:30.260 but they are people who are brainwashed. 13:30.980 --> 13:33.100 So if we're coming at people 13:33.100 --> 13:34.920 and we aren't reaching them right 13:34.920 --> 13:37.580 then the message of freedom doesn't get out, right? 13:37.940 --> 13:39.280 So candles in the dark came about 13:39.280 --> 13:41.660 because Larkin had so much experience 13:42.180 --> 13:43.620 actually talking to people, 13:43.740 --> 13:45.640 talking at them and asking them questions 13:46.140 --> 13:48.200 that he figured out talking at people 13:48.200 --> 13:50.700 really doesn't work, asking them questions 13:51.220 --> 13:54.200 that helps them figure out what they know 13:55.080 --> 13:57.160 and then figure out what they don't know 13:57.160 --> 13:58.800 and then start to question reality and then go, 13:58.860 --> 14:00.220 oh, maybe I'm not right about everything. 14:00.440 --> 14:03.040 Maybe the statism thing does need some looking at. 14:03.180 --> 14:04.940 Maybe I am an anarchist. 14:05.420 --> 14:07.600 They look at that if you ask them the right questions. 14:08.560 --> 14:09.140 And so we figured, 14:09.420 --> 14:11.040 Larkin figured this out from years of doing this. 14:11.040 --> 14:12.740 And then candles in the dark came about 14:13.480 --> 14:15.480 because there was a need for so many people 14:15.480 --> 14:16.600 in the Liberty Movement to go, 14:16.620 --> 14:18.400 help, help, how do we spread liberty? 14:18.980 --> 14:20.520 And so we have this temporary space 14:20.520 --> 14:22.660 where we make some money a little bit, 14:22.720 --> 14:24.720 not much, but a little bit off of 14:25.210 --> 14:27.040 if people buy that program 14:27.040 --> 14:29.500 that we spent a lot of time and energy 14:29.500 --> 14:33.580 to do in person for over a year, I think. 14:33.580 --> 14:34.720 Yeah, I forget how many we did. 14:35.020 --> 14:37.020 It was at least like we lost, 14:37.320 --> 14:40.460 yeah, we made money on one candles in the dark 14:40.460 --> 14:41.280 in person that we did. 14:41.420 --> 14:42.620 That was the anarcho-polka one 14:42.620 --> 14:47.800 because like 90 people showed up to that event and paid. 14:48.200 --> 14:49.580 And so we actually made money on that. 14:49.920 --> 14:51.480 We were doing it as a labor of love 14:51.480 --> 14:54.640 and we knew that the Liberty community 14:54.640 --> 14:55.740 wasn't huge to begin with. 14:55.800 --> 14:57.180 There's this little small niche of people 14:57.180 --> 14:59.060 that are like, awake enough to know, 14:59.220 --> 15:00.660 I need to know how to communicate to people 15:00.660 --> 15:02.600 and I want your seminar, Amanda and Larkin. 15:02.720 --> 15:04.720 So it's not like there's a huge demand. 15:04.900 --> 15:08.520 So even the business model we kind of have 15:08.520 --> 15:12.020 that we created off of selling freedom, 15:12.280 --> 15:15.560 it's not really, is actually not selling it 15:15.560 --> 15:17.460 to the people who need it most and want to hear it. 15:17.780 --> 15:20.280 It's literally selling how to teach 15:20.280 --> 15:22.820 and get freedom through to the masses, 15:23.000 --> 15:24.540 to the people that know it, 15:24.660 --> 15:27.360 but just want to know how to communicate it better. 15:27.900 --> 15:30.380 And if enough people wake up, we know full well 15:30.380 --> 15:32.180 that that's not a, like we're not gonna make money 15:32.180 --> 15:33.120 on candles in the dark anymore 15:33.680 --> 15:34.560 and we wouldn't need it 15:34.560 --> 15:35.920 if the whole world wakes up, 15:36.100 --> 15:37.560 it becomes not a business model, right? 15:37.560 --> 15:40.640 So it is a weird space to be in. 15:40.800 --> 15:43.500 He's right, because the only way you really make, 15:43.800 --> 15:45.480 like if people just don't want to hear something 15:45.480 --> 15:46.820 or it's gonna hurt their programming, 15:47.380 --> 15:49.920 then like how do you entice someone to listen to you? 15:50.020 --> 15:51.260 Okay, well now we have a pocket of people 15:51.260 --> 15:54.740 who did read his book and dared to or are awake. 15:54.960 --> 15:55.840 And now they're just like, 15:55.860 --> 15:58.200 okay, now Larkin helped me reach other people. 15:58.940 --> 16:00.960 That's kind of what we have some space. 16:01.540 --> 16:04.380 So we sort of have two different audiences 16:04.380 --> 16:06.420 that are like diametrically opposed. 16:06.900 --> 16:09.320 The people who already are volunteers at this point. 16:09.420 --> 16:10.480 And there's still like, 16:10.500 --> 16:13.500 people can debate different little tidbits here and there, 16:13.520 --> 16:15.700 but who are basically on the same page 16:18.620 --> 16:20.420 and don't need the message. 16:20.780 --> 16:22.500 Like they don't, they already understand it. 16:22.640 --> 16:23.420 And then the people who, 16:23.540 --> 16:25.260 so there's the people who don't need the message. 16:25.340 --> 16:27.240 And then there's the people who don't want the message, 16:28.460 --> 16:30.160 which is the state of them. 16:30.360 --> 16:32.060 So it's a very weird position to be in. 16:32.100 --> 16:34.180 I was gonna point out that it's something cool 16:34.180 --> 16:35.600 happening in the world that's newer 16:35.600 --> 16:37.320 that I don't remember happening before. 16:37.480 --> 16:38.100 I don't think it did. 16:38.440 --> 16:40.640 And I know enough about history now to know, 16:40.780 --> 16:43.080 like it's been brought about partly by the internet. 16:43.200 --> 16:44.740 So it's got to be more recent, 16:44.860 --> 16:48.260 but now that enough of the world understands 16:48.860 --> 16:50.400 seeing what happens with the internet, 16:50.400 --> 16:52.140 which is like the hive mind communicating, 16:52.320 --> 16:53.340 instant global communication, 16:53.700 --> 16:55.180 ideas spread really fast, right? 16:55.900 --> 16:58.960 Now people understand that ideas by themselves 16:58.960 --> 17:00.260 are really fricking powerful 17:00.260 --> 17:02.960 and they can change a lot of things really quickly. 17:02.960 --> 17:04.900 If a lot of people's minds change really quickly. 17:05.840 --> 17:09.000 And so there's this incentive in the world now 17:09.000 --> 17:10.660 where a lot of people kind of understand, 17:12.320 --> 17:14.540 it benefits me a lot. 17:14.660 --> 17:16.680 If my neighbors and the people around me 17:17.200 --> 17:18.800 know about this guy called Larkin Rose 17:18.800 --> 17:20.060 or at least know his stuff. 17:20.320 --> 17:21.460 And even if they don't know about him, 17:21.840 --> 17:24.040 they know about the ideas of freedom. 17:24.160 --> 17:25.980 So it's like, if I tell them about Larkin stuff 17:25.980 --> 17:27.280 and they just go figure out freedom 17:27.280 --> 17:28.760 and then they know about actual anarchy, 17:29.120 --> 17:30.800 it benefits me if these people know 17:30.800 --> 17:32.320 about the principles of freedom. 17:32.320 --> 17:34.120 So even if they don't know who you are, it's not about that. 17:34.420 --> 17:36.420 If my whole neighborhood just knows about, 17:37.100 --> 17:38.540 I don't believe in the state, 17:38.700 --> 17:41.700 I don't want to involve in like government is immoral, 17:41.900 --> 17:45.100 coercion is immoral, taxes are immoral, that benefits me. 17:45.660 --> 17:46.720 And the more people are realizing 17:46.720 --> 17:49.160 I actually really wanna see my neighborhood 17:49.160 --> 17:51.560 not be stressing me out and people around me be free. 17:52.200 --> 17:53.920 They have an incentive and a motivation. 17:54.140 --> 17:55.120 So for the first time ever, 17:55.180 --> 17:56.500 what you're talking about is like, 17:57.100 --> 17:58.960 mankind is doing this in different ways 17:58.960 --> 18:01.200 like for freedom stuff, but all over the place. 18:01.640 --> 18:05.420 People are sort of funding, like I'm awake now, 18:05.540 --> 18:08.000 I'm gonna fund you going and pushing this idea 18:08.000 --> 18:09.780 on the next people that aren't ready to hear it 18:10.360 --> 18:12.900 as basically it's philosophical charity. 18:13.220 --> 18:15.360 It's like, you're not donating to someone's hunger, 18:15.740 --> 18:18.640 you're donating to like an addict of statism 18:18.640 --> 18:21.560 that doesn't want to be free of their addiction yet. 18:21.900 --> 18:23.360 You're like, I'm gonna help you, 18:23.800 --> 18:25.360 some people you don't even know it yet 18:25.360 --> 18:26.400 are gonna go talk to you 18:26.400 --> 18:27.320 and then you're gonna get free 18:27.320 --> 18:28.560 of that weird belief in your head. 18:28.600 --> 18:30.580 You don't even know it yet, random stranger out there. 18:30.580 --> 18:33.860 But I'm paying for someone named Larkin 18:33.860 --> 18:36.340 to teach me how to figure out how to talk to you 18:36.340 --> 18:37.500 and then I'm gonna go talk to you 18:37.500 --> 18:41.580 because the thing you don't know you need yet is to be free. 18:41.700 --> 18:44.380 So it's literally kind of a philosophical charity in a way. 18:44.520 --> 18:46.900 And there's a weird time aspect involved 18:46.900 --> 18:50.760 where lots of people will, if they read my book 18:50.760 --> 18:52.240 or they'd listened to, you know, 18:52.380 --> 18:53.460 I'm certainly not the only one. 18:53.980 --> 18:56.320 They learn about volunteerism and they get to a point 18:56.320 --> 18:59.140 where like they stop watching my videos 18:59.140 --> 19:00.140 because why bother? 19:00.680 --> 19:02.680 I mean, I try to make stuff that's different new enough 19:02.680 --> 19:05.080 that people can, who are already on the same side, 19:05.440 --> 19:07.920 grumbling belly, we're the hungry in America. 19:08.720 --> 19:09.500 Shut up stomach. 19:12.140 --> 19:15.920 Where I'm making stuff for people to understand it 19:15.920 --> 19:17.940 but to a point it makes absolute sense 19:17.940 --> 19:20.520 that a bunch of people, well, we're on the same page 19:20.520 --> 19:22.080 and I don't need to watch your videos anymore 19:22.490 --> 19:24.260 because I mostly know what you're gonna say. 19:24.980 --> 19:27.760 As opposed to people who, you know, like a plumber, 19:28.380 --> 19:30.220 he's not going out and teaching people 19:30.220 --> 19:33.560 how to do their own plumbing to render himself unnecessary. 19:34.460 --> 19:37.800 It's like, no, you're dependent on me for certain services 19:37.800 --> 19:39.800 because I know how to do that and you don't. 19:40.400 --> 19:43.080 And it's weird to be in a business. 19:43.420 --> 19:45.220 It's not gonna be just a business, but whatever. 19:46.220 --> 19:48.240 Where once I explain something enough 19:48.240 --> 19:50.120 or once anybody explains enough to somebody, 19:50.160 --> 19:51.300 then it's all the way there. 19:51.440 --> 19:52.940 And they understand, yeah, I own myself. 19:53.040 --> 19:54.140 I'm not beholden to these trucks. 19:54.340 --> 19:55.040 Okay, we're done. 19:55.600 --> 19:58.040 Like you don't have a reason to listen to me anymore. 19:58.160 --> 19:59.360 I mean, we have candles in the dark. 19:59.620 --> 20:01.380 Well, we should tell people how to get it, 20:01.620 --> 20:03.420 but let me finish my thought first. 20:04.340 --> 20:07.960 But it's weird that my goal is to do things 20:07.960 --> 20:12.020 to render myself unnecessary, not only worldwide. 20:12.280 --> 20:14.240 Like if everybody stopped believing in government, cool. 20:14.360 --> 20:15.940 We can like go play music and stuff 20:15.940 --> 20:17.380 and never say another word about this 20:17.380 --> 20:18.820 because it doesn't matter anymore. 20:19.160 --> 20:20.200 People don't believe it anymore. 20:20.540 --> 20:22.840 But it's also true on an individual basis 20:23.660 --> 20:26.180 of I want each person to get to the point 20:26.180 --> 20:28.160 where they all the way understand non-aggression 20:28.160 --> 20:29.500 and self-ownership to the point 20:29.500 --> 20:32.420 that they don't need to listen to me or read my books 20:32.420 --> 20:36.000 because da, they are like this book, 20:36.220 --> 20:38.280 which is the most important thing I've ever written. 20:39.220 --> 20:42.680 I so look forward to the day when it's completely useless 20:42.680 --> 20:44.320 because it's so freaking obvious 20:44.320 --> 20:45.320 that everybody would say, 20:45.380 --> 20:47.340 why did anybody need to write a book about that? 20:47.600 --> 20:47.840 Da. 20:48.560 --> 20:49.900 And so nobody needs it 20:49.900 --> 20:51.360 because everybody understands it. 20:52.760 --> 20:54.840 And it's sort of weird 20:54.840 --> 20:59.380 to intentionally be trying to make yourself obsolete, 21:00.220 --> 21:03.640 like worldwide and also on an individual basis. 21:04.760 --> 21:07.860 So many people, I mean the whole political machine is about, 21:08.220 --> 21:10.720 give us power and then keep giving us power 21:10.720 --> 21:13.520 and keep giving us money and keep voting for us 21:13.520 --> 21:15.180 because then we'll be in power 21:15.180 --> 21:16.600 and you'll be dependent on us 21:16.600 --> 21:19.220 and we'll be serving you, bullshit. 21:20.140 --> 21:22.040 But you need to keep us there. 21:22.360 --> 21:24.520 Like the Republican party, the Democratic party, 21:24.640 --> 21:26.880 no politician is like, vote for me once 21:26.880 --> 21:28.480 and then we'll fix it and we're done 21:28.480 --> 21:30.020 and you don't have to vote for me or give me, 21:30.100 --> 21:32.840 like they're trying to put themselves into a position 21:32.840 --> 21:35.000 where they keep getting power and money and attention 21:35.620 --> 21:37.580 because that's what the political system is. 21:38.040 --> 21:41.960 And it's weird to be in a position where my goal 21:41.960 --> 21:44.460 is for everything I do about this 21:44.460 --> 21:45.540 to be completely unnecessary. 21:46.220 --> 21:50.620 Yeah, like ideally if this works within our lifetimes, 21:50.620 --> 21:52.780 which I don't have the hope that all statism 21:52.780 --> 21:53.820 is gonna go away in my lifetime, 21:53.840 --> 21:56.040 it'd just be cool to see a lot of it die down 21:56.040 --> 21:57.100 thanks to the internet. 21:57.460 --> 22:01.480 And like my hope is genuinely if this works 22:01.480 --> 22:06.120 to see at some point that we all the way back off 22:06.120 --> 22:08.520 of having to even do YouTube to talk about this stuff 22:08.520 --> 22:10.760 or anything, we just go back to our lives 22:10.760 --> 22:13.240 as regular musicians and doing other stuff 22:13.240 --> 22:18.700 because we're not people who are like, 22:18.740 --> 22:20.880 we're just regular people who have actual skills 22:20.880 --> 22:22.980 and abilities and talents that we'd rather be doing too 22:23.820 --> 22:26.180 than having to like, okay, we need to take time 22:26.180 --> 22:29.460 to tell the world, stop having worse. 22:29.780 --> 22:31.900 Like, you know, like it's like we have to take time 22:31.900 --> 22:33.500 to talk about this stuff, we can't do other things. 22:34.360 --> 22:36.520 If you notice the people in the movement 22:36.520 --> 22:42.100 that seem to have the most obvious sliminess 22:42.100 --> 22:44.340 or weirdest agendas, pay attention 22:44.860 --> 22:47.440 because usually they don't have any, 22:47.640 --> 22:49.100 you can actually eventually figure out 22:49.100 --> 22:50.760 they don't have anything else going on outside of that. 22:50.900 --> 22:53.740 As in, if they didn't have a way to keep making 22:53.740 --> 22:58.080 you give them money, they wouldn't have anything. 22:58.320 --> 22:59.060 They wouldn't have an identity. 22:59.380 --> 23:00.860 In contrast, here we have, 23:00.980 --> 23:02.480 this is the opening screen of the mirror 23:02.480 --> 23:03.620 if you didn't know, I didn't even, 23:03.820 --> 23:04.760 I wouldn't even intentional, 23:04.960 --> 23:06.380 it just makes for a fun background. 23:07.120 --> 23:13.540 And the worst example of a business model ever is the mirror. 23:14.280 --> 23:17.040 It's something that takes years to put together 23:17.040 --> 23:19.880 a massive amount of effort and as soon as it's done 23:19.880 --> 23:21.620 it's given away to the whole world for free. 23:22.300 --> 23:26.780 So there's like no profit to be made when it's done. 23:27.120 --> 23:30.220 Now there are people helping fund it 23:30.220 --> 23:32.360 so I can get it done to get it out to the world 23:32.360 --> 23:35.820 but it's like the dumbest business investment possible 23:35.820 --> 23:40.360 is massive amount of time and effort needed to make a thing 23:40.360 --> 23:41.740 and then give it away for free. 23:41.960 --> 23:43.420 So there's no chance for any, 23:43.720 --> 23:45.880 and also when it's done, 23:45.900 --> 23:48.100 then I stopped getting the support to work on it 23:48.100 --> 23:48.960 because now it's done. 23:49.540 --> 23:52.680 So it's the most, as far as like business acumen 23:52.680 --> 23:55.540 it's like the dumbest approach you could possibly have 23:56.000 --> 23:58.260 if your goal is like financial prosperity. 23:59.460 --> 24:02.920 But I mean, I've learned long ago about myself 24:02.920 --> 24:05.960 that this is what I think I'm supposed to be doing 24:05.960 --> 24:09.940 whether I'm living in a cardboard box in a puddle. 24:10.840 --> 24:14.520 He's definitely supposed to be making music. 24:15.220 --> 24:21.020 And as long as there's also humans hurting each other 24:21.020 --> 24:22.420 and doing counterproductive stuff 24:22.420 --> 24:24.260 so we can't only make music all the time 24:24.920 --> 24:28.020 he knows that he's called to do this and deal with it 24:28.020 --> 24:31.840 and he's not gonna rest until he sees a significant drop. 24:31.840 --> 24:33.540 Like it's not like every status in the world 24:33.540 --> 24:34.680 we ever hear about or all the harm 24:34.680 --> 24:36.560 we could possibly know about has to stop. 24:36.640 --> 24:37.580 There's eight billion people 24:37.580 --> 24:39.180 and the world's gonna keep having conflicts. 24:39.660 --> 24:42.300 But if a massive amount of the war 24:42.300 --> 24:44.040 and the statism and the crap going on 24:44.040 --> 24:45.900 finally fucking died down a bit 24:46.500 --> 24:48.520 because actually the internet was able to reach 24:48.520 --> 24:50.480 enough of the world and enough of the ideas 24:50.480 --> 24:51.980 got out there and reach enough people, 24:52.520 --> 24:54.240 you better believe this dude is not, 24:54.440 --> 24:55.940 you're not gonna see him on YouTube all the time anymore. 24:56.040 --> 24:58.300 He's just gonna be having fun making a bunch of albums 24:58.300 --> 25:00.120 with me, like that's what we're gonna do. 25:00.120 --> 25:02.920 In nature and making a bunch of stuff. 25:02.940 --> 25:05.560 So he's compelled to do it and he's supposed to do it 25:05.560 --> 25:08.100 as long as his spirit is telling him 25:08.100 --> 25:09.560 there's a need for it in the world 25:09.560 --> 25:12.080 and the world is telling us pretty loudly right now 25:12.080 --> 25:15.200 that statism is peaking before its plummet 25:15.200 --> 25:18.680 and to just being gone, like it's doing 25:18.680 --> 25:20.420 and the thing is is people say, 25:20.440 --> 25:21.680 oh what do you mean being gone? 25:21.760 --> 25:24.600 Like I didn't say when, I didn't say in my lifetime 25:25.020 --> 25:26.620 I'm talking about in the big timeline 25:26.620 --> 25:29.040 it might still be past my lifetime 25:29.040 --> 25:31.620 before it started to all the way die off 25:31.620 --> 25:33.980 but we are watching in real time 25:34.480 --> 25:38.920 the belief in some random authority or state authority 25:38.920 --> 25:44.140 or badge and uniformed and licensed authority die off 25:44.140 --> 25:46.780 and that is a really good thing to watch happen. 25:46.980 --> 25:49.320 So we're trying to help that happen faster 25:49.320 --> 25:51.100 and that's what the mirror is about and other stuff 25:51.100 --> 25:53.680 because we're the people that want 25:53.680 --> 25:55.240 to not have to do any of this. 25:55.340 --> 25:56.660 We want to go back to our regular stuff. 25:56.660 --> 25:59.280 Some of you may not bother paying attention 25:59.280 --> 26:01.360 to all the stupid status talking heads 26:01.360 --> 26:04.300 but there is a huge number of them 26:04.300 --> 26:06.440 that already had audiences that were like 26:06.440 --> 26:08.080 rah, rah, rah for Trump mostly. 26:08.460 --> 26:10.480 And a lot of them are now saying 26:11.040 --> 26:12.680 we can't vote our way out of this. 26:13.000 --> 26:15.580 This is like they're having the realization 26:15.580 --> 26:17.080 because of the war in Iran 26:17.080 --> 26:18.540 and because of the Epstein stuff 26:18.980 --> 26:20.440 that they're coming right out. 26:20.820 --> 26:21.780 People who are like, 26:21.820 --> 26:22.820 Rah, where you gotta vote, Rah? 26:22.940 --> 26:23.840 I'm not gonna, where you gotta, 26:24.120 --> 26:25.320 like two seconds ago 26:25.700 --> 26:26.600 are coming right out. 26:26.700 --> 26:27.760 Now there's still status. 26:28.100 --> 26:30.000 They haven't figured out the underlying problem 26:30.000 --> 26:31.360 but they're coming right out 26:31.360 --> 26:33.520 and saying voting is never gonna fix this. 26:33.800 --> 26:35.300 Both sides are slime balls. 26:35.400 --> 26:36.760 They're always gonna betray us. 26:37.160 --> 26:39.600 And that's a bunch of people with big audiences 26:39.600 --> 26:42.520 just in the last like year 26:42.960 --> 26:44.600 and then in the last 10 years. 26:45.460 --> 26:47.760 But there is a massive shift going 26:47.760 --> 26:48.940 and those people, 26:49.800 --> 26:51.620 even though they still are status, 26:51.820 --> 26:53.400 they still assume, well, I have to have government. 26:53.760 --> 26:54.980 This one is too corrupt 26:54.980 --> 26:56.280 and maybe we have to get rid of it 26:56.280 --> 26:57.480 and then make a new one. 26:58.240 --> 27:01.100 But they're at the point where it would be so easy 27:01.100 --> 27:02.760 to nudge a bunch of these people 27:03.520 --> 27:05.320 into understanding that, yeah, 27:05.900 --> 27:08.320 the entire system is bullshit right now 27:08.320 --> 27:10.440 but it isn't because golly gee, 27:10.480 --> 27:11.700 it just happened to be corrupt. 27:11.860 --> 27:13.920 It's because the entire notion of authority 27:14.400 --> 27:15.880 is going to lead to this. 27:16.060 --> 27:16.760 There isn't such things 27:16.760 --> 27:18.460 representative government, you all know this anyway. 27:20.140 --> 27:21.740 But the number of people 27:21.740 --> 27:23.520 who actually have audiences 27:23.940 --> 27:25.720 who are about that close to being able 27:25.720 --> 27:28.340 to actually understand that is huge now. 27:28.560 --> 27:29.080 Oh yeah. 27:29.460 --> 27:31.420 Well, the fact that anarchy as a word 27:32.100 --> 27:34.540 has not only become mainstream and talked about 27:34.540 --> 27:36.840 including like misrepresented and talked about wrong 27:36.840 --> 27:40.000 but the word did not exist in public discourse at all 27:40.000 --> 27:41.660 unless you were a high school or being like, 27:42.440 --> 27:43.560 I like punk rock. 27:43.700 --> 27:44.920 I got this cool anarchy wristband. 27:45.580 --> 27:48.600 You know, like two and a half or three decades ago 27:48.600 --> 27:51.040 it didn't like there wasn't just discussion about it 27:51.040 --> 27:52.140 as a public idea 27:52.140 --> 27:54.180 whether people are getting it right or getting it wrong. 27:54.480 --> 27:55.740 Now there's this discussion. 27:55.860 --> 27:56.900 There's a consideration of it 27:56.900 --> 28:00.300 including by the supposedly alternative media 28:00.300 --> 28:03.380 which is just a different flavor of bought mainstream media 28:03.380 --> 28:06.600 but like the libertarian ish supposed media 28:07.160 --> 28:09.700 has had anarchists or supposed anarchists on 28:10.060 --> 28:11.560 and even if they're not always exact 28:11.560 --> 28:13.860 they're pretty close or dead on 28:13.860 --> 28:14.920 with some things they're saying 28:15.220 --> 28:17.960 that are actually like the concepts of freedom 28:17.960 --> 28:20.640 spoken out loud that are right 28:21.440 --> 28:23.100 you'll hear a sentence come out 28:23.100 --> 28:23.940 or a few sentences come out 28:23.940 --> 28:26.320 or several things come out of someone that's on camera 28:26.320 --> 28:29.000 on a show and it's like, it's a discourse now 28:29.000 --> 28:30.000 we're talking about this. 28:30.100 --> 28:31.720 Anarchy has entered the discussion. 28:31.740 --> 28:34.020 Yes, anarchy has entered the group chat 28:34.640 --> 28:37.880 because a bunch of people are really fucking sick 28:37.880 --> 28:38.980 of what they're seeing 28:38.980 --> 28:40.240 and they're starting to understand 28:40.240 --> 28:41.520 that the anarchists this whole time 28:41.520 --> 28:44.460 haven't been saying every man for himself 28:44.920 --> 28:46.040 no one cares about the poor 28:46.040 --> 28:47.260 we've been saying exactly the opposite 28:47.260 --> 28:49.080 we've been saying if you want people 28:49.420 --> 28:51.060 to be able to even figure this out 28:51.060 --> 28:53.780 if humans have a chance at organizing peacefully 28:54.220 --> 28:57.420 the last thing that humans need on the planet 28:57.420 --> 29:02.820 is this giant belief that some of us have special powers 29:02.820 --> 29:05.580 if we give us badges guns and licenses and guns 29:05.580 --> 29:09.180 to tell other people and use physical deadly force 29:09.180 --> 29:10.580 to make other people live their lives 29:10.580 --> 29:11.920 how they say we should 29:11.920 --> 29:14.240 and if we get that out of the way 29:14.820 --> 29:17.660 we can still have rules and order and agreements 29:17.660 --> 29:21.680 and businesses and none of the bullshit that government 29:22.140 --> 29:23.660 the giant thief in the room 29:23.660 --> 29:24.720 that's creating the problem 29:24.720 --> 29:26.660 generates is going to start a problem 29:26.660 --> 29:28.180 because it's gone 29:28.180 --> 29:30.880 and the world is starting to just get the like 29:30.880 --> 29:32.460 oh you mean anarchy doesn't have to mean 29:32.460 --> 29:33.140 every man for itself 29:33.140 --> 29:35.180 it means we might actually be able to be able 29:35.180 --> 29:36.720 to do something about this shit in the law 29:36.720 --> 29:38.100 and most of these people know that 29:38.100 --> 29:40.140 anywhere but yeah it's sort of a 29:40.140 --> 29:41.880 it's a weird situation to be in 29:41.880 --> 29:44.580 to be trying to spread a message that anyway 29:44.580 --> 29:46.860 this wasn't supposed to be like a pledge of thong 29:47.260 --> 29:48.260 so we can sort of wrap it up 29:48.260 --> 29:50.360 I might quickly scan the comments and see if 29:50.360 --> 29:52.260 because at some point I want to do one of these 29:52.260 --> 29:54.380 and actually have it mostly be about the comments 29:54.380 --> 29:55.140 and back and forth 29:56.440 --> 29:58.340 well let's look at what comments are here right now 29:58.340 --> 29:58.960 do we have any 29:59.400 --> 30:01.480 well that's a billion but 30:01.480 --> 30:03.380 I mean like questions like I see people 30:03.380 --> 30:03.900 I will see 30:04.800 --> 30:05.960 but oh also 30:07.300 --> 30:08.560 pointed the books behind you 30:08.560 --> 30:10.380 yeah I was gonna say I'll scroll through 30:10.380 --> 30:11.260 gobs if you want to 30:11.260 --> 30:11.580 I will 30:11.580 --> 30:15.080 but the book deal 50 bucks is a signed copy 30:15.080 --> 30:15.740 of all of these 30:16.460 --> 30:18.220 sent anywhere in the U.S. 30:19.160 --> 30:19.600 and 30:21.260 --> 30:22.640 but it has to be in the U.S. 30:22.680 --> 30:23.500 and don't forget to 30:24.080 --> 30:26.320 tell me an address for where to send it 30:26.960 --> 30:28.600 please remember to send an address 30:28.600 --> 30:30.020 if you send PayPal send an address 30:30.020 --> 30:32.020 and PayPal if you send Venmo send the address 30:32.020 --> 30:33.080 and Venmo if you send 30:33.080 --> 30:34.400 okay a lot of people 30:34.400 --> 30:35.860 or a few people have said 30:35.860 --> 30:39.500 the audio is lagging 30:39.500 --> 30:40.740 which is weird 30:40.740 --> 30:42.920 like it's there but it's lagging 30:43.940 --> 30:45.660 huh that might be on their end 30:45.660 --> 30:47.260 on their streaming end 30:48.280 --> 30:48.700 um 30:49.420 --> 30:50.200 is there 30:51.680 --> 30:52.520 any questions 30:53.320 --> 30:54.100 grabbed up 30:54.600 --> 30:55.120 so I 30:55.530 --> 30:57.940 I won't bother that I don't want this to last 30:57.940 --> 31:00.920 to go too long anyway but we I am gonna do more 31:00.920 --> 31:02.880 back and forth interactive ones 31:02.880 --> 31:06.160 mainly I wanted to do this as an experiment to make sure it actually works 31:06.160 --> 31:09.140 and then it looks like it's getting hit so we're happy about that 31:09.140 --> 31:09.500 yeah people are 31:09.500 --> 31:11.040 just saying nice things 31:11.040 --> 31:13.420 we didn't exactly say anything 31:14.120 --> 31:16.920 that would prompt some philosophical question 31:17.740 --> 31:18.240 not really 31:18.240 --> 31:21.040 but yeah first of all if you want to support us 31:21.040 --> 31:24.040 that's hugely helpful because the people who need to hear the message 31:24.040 --> 31:25.260 don't want to hear the message 31:27.120 --> 31:30.280 you're the audience that actually can benefit from our services 31:30.280 --> 31:33.600 so if you haven't actually bought the candles in the dark seminar 31:34.860 --> 31:36.460 please go invest in it 31:36.460 --> 31:38.140 doing the seminar myself 31:38.140 --> 31:39.740 and teaching that seminar 31:41.260 --> 31:42.880 made me a better communicator 31:42.880 --> 31:44.900 and a lot of people have said that it 31:44.900 --> 31:47.320 they were shocked they waited as long to do it because 31:47.960 --> 31:50.740 it isn't preaching at people it doesn't teach you how to preach at people 31:50.740 --> 31:54.300 it literally teaches you how to put down all of the arguments 31:54.300 --> 31:55.860 all the convincing people 31:55.860 --> 31:59.140 and we're so good at business we haven't told them where to go yet 31:59.140 --> 32:00.500 I will in a second I'm getting to that 32:00.500 --> 32:01.600 don't rush me that's what I'm saying 32:01.600 --> 32:02.320 if you don't feel rushed 32:02.320 --> 32:03.400 only to happen hour 32:03.400 --> 32:06.460 yeah well that's at the end at the end you say here's where to go to do it 32:06.460 --> 32:08.300 but you talk about yourself first so that's okay 32:08.300 --> 32:09.680 so um so 32:09.680 --> 32:12.380 so the candles in the dark seminar 32:12.380 --> 32:15.100 you can go get it on uh the rose channel dot com 32:16.060 --> 32:17.820 if you go to the rose channel dot com 32:17.820 --> 32:18.740 it's a pretty 32:18.740 --> 32:21.060 it's literally black and yellow like the 32:21.060 --> 32:22.700 and kept voluntary as colors 32:23.220 -->

a series 33:19.240 --> 33:21.480 we're doing larkin's doing and I'm doing called 33:21.480 --> 33:23.000 statism ruins everything 33:23.630 --> 33:26.380 and then we go through the different aspects of life 33:26.380 --> 33:28.300 that statism affects and influences 33:28.940 --> 33:30.860 and then we wrap up on a positive note 33:30.860 --> 33:32.880 and sort of talk about in the segments 33:32.880 --> 33:36.780 like what are some real life practical answers 33:36.780 --> 33:40.320 to dealing with the aspects of life 33:40.320 --> 33:43.260 statism is currently affecting or ruining or

34:05.020 --> 34:07.960 and pay the whole price for that seminar right now 34:07.960 --> 34:08.840 because I don't have that money 34:08.840 --> 34:10.940 but I really want the candles in the dark

enough to make a list of the stuff on the website 34:26.100 --> 34:27.620 because there's several hundred 34:28.140 --> 34:30.560 like audio blogs from the past when I did 34:31.520 --> 34:33.640 snarkin wait snarkin larkin or outside the cage 34:33.640 --> 34:38.480 he did a pod audio podcast called snarkin with larkin 34:39.000 --> 34:40.460 and it was just literally rants 34:40.460 --> 34:43.500 and a bunch of that audio rant stuff is on the rosechannel.com 34:43.500 --> 34:46.760 I believe Patrick Smith's reading of the most dangerous superstition is there 34:47.780 --> 34:49.620 there's a ton of stuff there that I don't remember 34:49.620 --> 34:51.400 and I should have written down before we did this video 34:51.400 --> 34:53.440 well we'll do here we'll do a follow-up live 34:53.440 --> 34:55.580 where we just cover we'll literally just talk about our content 34:55.580 --> 34:56.740 we'll tell you what is there 34:56.740 --> 34:58.380 tell you what's on the rosechannel.com 34:58.380 --> 34:59.520 but you can go there and subscribe 35:00.040 --> 35:02.620 you can get attend candles get the seminar there 35:02.620 --> 35:05.340 and I just wanted to one more add the point that 35:05.340 --> 35:09.800 a lot of people who've done the candles in the dark seminar 35:09.800 --> 35:12.540 and took it with the goal of just trying to have 35:12.540 --> 35:15.820 easier conversations about liberty with their friends and family 35:16.460 --> 35:18.860 and break through and get them to even think about it 35:18.860 --> 35:19.820 that was their only goal 35:19.820 --> 35:21.520 they have come back and told us 35:22.580 --> 35:26.140 that accidentally the way that that seminar 35:26.140 --> 35:28.980 reframed their brain and helped them learn to ask questions 35:28.980 --> 35:30.160 instead of preach 35:31.000 --> 35:33.220 made it so that they're a better communicator 35:33.220 --> 35:36.780 and they're having more successes in overall life 35:36.780 --> 35:40.660 because they're applying that method of communication to other things 35:40.660 --> 35:44.260 and the secret is is because it's just the Socratic method 35:44.880 --> 35:48.500 so well it kind of there's a ton of it is that 35:48.500 --> 35:52.040 but it isn't just the questions it isn't just the mindset is fundamental 35:52.040 --> 35:54.600 and that's the thing that most people your mind when somebody 35:54.600 --> 35:57.440 understands self-ownership and non-aggression and stateless society 35:57.440 --> 36:00.240 they think well I already understand it so the entire problem 36:00.240 --> 36:01.980 is the other person I'm going to preach at them 36:01.980 --> 36:04.700 they don't get that their own mindset and outlook 36:05.760 --> 36:08.120 vastly biases how they communicate 36:08.120 --> 36:10.320 and whether it's actually going to be effective at all 36:10.320 --> 36:12.140 so a bunch of candles in the dark 36:12.140 --> 36:15.460 it we do get to the actual questions and lines of questioning 36:15.460 --> 36:19.000 but a lot of it is training yourself to be in a different mindset 36:19.000 --> 36:22.240 and that the main difference I'll just throw this in before we wrap up 36:22.240 --> 36:24.620 is that if you view somebody else says 36:24.620 --> 36:26.480 you're a person who has a shitty belief system 36:26.480 --> 36:28.580 I'm going to talk you into having a good belief system 36:29.160 --> 36:32.340 you're probably going to fail if you view them as 36:32.340 --> 36:35.600 you're a person who's trying to be good and has a 36:35.600 --> 36:39.680 decent moral code mostly but you've been taught some bullshit 36:39.680 --> 36:45.040 that's actually making you betrayed your own foundational moral code 36:45.600 --> 36:49.000 and I'm going to try to help you see that so you can escape that bullshit 36:49.000 --> 36:51.480 by way of gentle questions yeah yeah 36:51.990 --> 36:55.740 so if you view them as a good person who means well who's been deceived 36:55.740 --> 36:58.700 rather than some advocate of stupid evil shit 36:58.700 --> 37:01.820 right and the way you talk to them will be completely different 37:02.460 --> 37:04.580 yeah and that's what that's what like the 37:05.100 --> 37:09.180 so candles in the dark the seminar day one focuses on your mindset 37:09.180 --> 37:12.320 day two of the seminar and it's online again it's all in online content 37:12.320 --> 37:16.560 but day two is us addressing the actual questions the lines of questioning 37:16.560 --> 37:21.340 that are basically the Socratic method as tailored to specific questions 37:21.340 --> 37:24.660 Larkin came up with that are around of course this stuff and statism 37:25.220 --> 37:28.840 but they're just questions that the average person they're kind of disarming 37:28.840 --> 37:31.240 they make someone think and the person wants to answer 37:31.800 --> 37:35.660 and when someone's just answering a question and they're not in combat mode 37:35.660 --> 37:39.440 and they don't think this is a volley of what you think versus what I think 37:39.440 --> 37:42.540 you know they tend to actually be open 37:43.000 --> 37:47.000 and then it can turn into a conversation where you might share some of what you think 37:47.460 --> 37:51.120 but candles in the dark actually freeze you from having to make it at all about 37:51.120 --> 37:53.940 what you think like me the anarchist doesn't need to 37:53.940 --> 37:57.840 win or tell the status that here's the punchline of what I think and you need to believe it 37:57.840 --> 38:00.940 I could not I don't even have to give away that I'm an anarchist at first 38:00.940 --> 38:04.520 one of the rules is you never say what you think except to agree with them 38:04.520 --> 38:08.300 when you're in candles in the dark and you just ask questions to get them to start thinking 38:08.300 --> 38:12.000 by the way the if anybody out there hasn't heard of the mirror 38:12.000 --> 38:14.560 which has been in the work for ages but I heard they were talking about it 38:14.560 --> 38:18.040 mirrors an interactive program that does the same thing by itself 38:18.040 --> 38:20.880 it uses the exact same approach of candles in the dark 38:20.880 --> 38:23.380 but it doesn't even have one human being required 38:23.380 --> 38:26.940 it's an interactive thing that does it all by itself that I've been working on 38:26.940 --> 38:30.800 so that ages that's partly why he was working on that is because we figured out 38:31.540 --> 38:36.400 okay what if a person could have a me or a larkin or somebody there or something 38:36.400 --> 38:38.720 asking them the questions that just ask some questions 38:38.720 --> 38:43.200 that get them thinking so that they hit the wall of their own cognitive dissonance 38:43.200 --> 38:45.980 themselves on their own and that's where the mirror came in 38:45.980 --> 38:48.220 because he's like we could have a computer program that does this 38:48.780 --> 38:51.520 for people and it's insanely complex but it's 38:51.520 --> 38:57.080 oh my gosh you guys it has taken him many many years to finish that script 38:57.080 --> 38:59.720 the script alone of all the questions everything for it 38:59.720 --> 39:04.340 he finally finished now we're recording the narration and working on the visual 39:04.340 --> 39:09.960 this started over a decade ago and people we want to thank people people have literally 39:09.960 --> 39:14.800 donated thousands of dollars so that he could stay afloat we could pay the bills 39:15.240 --> 39:18.280 and he could completely focus on working on this and getting it done 39:18.280 --> 39:24.000 there is a patreon page for me working on the mirror that I haven't mentioned in a billion years 39:24.000 --> 39:28.200 I also haven't updated in a billion years um but I'll throw the link I'll change the description 39:28.200 --> 39:33.860 of this and throw the link in there anyway I can we can wrap this up now if I can do that 39:33.860 --> 39:39.120 without blowing up the world I think you just click a button um but we'll see how this 39:39.120 --> 39:42.080 experiment goes and see how many people see it and then all that fun stuff 39:42.080 --> 39:48.760 thanks for tuning in as we just rudely threw ourselves into your face um 39:48.760 --> 39:51.520 thanks for being a part of our youtube live experiment to see if people show up 39:51.520 --> 39:54.600 now we'll go see it worked people showed up 39:54.600 --> 39:56.460 fair the royal goodbye
