Oh, there we go.
Going live.
Yeah, you're screened.
No, no.
All right, I think we're on er er er er er er er er er er.
Why is it off center?
Wait, is it off center?
Stand by er er er.
That's so fragile.
Howdy!
We are.
We don't know what we're doing, so not knowing what we're doing is our specialty.
No, he's just getting our live set up, guys.
Yeah, setting up our life.
There.
Now we can see in that little thing here, I'll back up so I'm not gigantic compared
to you.
Howdy.
Okay.
So we're doing a YouTube live.
We didn't tell anybody about it ahead of time because one of the main reasons we're doing
this is an experiment to see what the algorithms do when we don't tell anybody ahead of time
because if we tell people ahead of time, that may bias it.
So that's why we didn't warn anybody.
This will remain posted after the fact, but we're doing it live to see if anybody
notices in a minute.
I have to move a thing to see if there's anybody in the chat and see if there's anybody.
It says there's 32 people watching.
So apparently, at least technically, we got the damn thing to work.
Oh, I will throw out this move over my lovely.
I'm going to do the book deal again for 50 bucks.
You get signed copies of the iron web, Jones Foundation, the novel.
Go see the movie, but also there's a novel and most dangerous
superstition sent anywhere in the US for 50 bucks.
The description below, if I did it right, tells ways you can get that deal.
So throwing that out there.
But the actual topic today, this wasn't just going to be a completely pointless
experiment. We don't say anything.
It's something I've talked about things related to this before
in almost every business, like in the world,
the approach is.
Panda to the customer.
Panda sort of sounds like an insult, but doing what the customer wants.
If you're making widgets or you're mowing lawns, what does the customer want?
That's the focus. That's the starting point.
Yeah, the goal is to make money.
That's where you want to end up.
But it's like, what does the customer want?
We serve the customer. The customer is always right.
All that stuff because without a customer, you don't make any money
in the business.
And the title of this is Professional Stuff Sayers.
People who say stuff and there's lots and lots of them.
And I'm sure you've seen lots of talking heads all over the place
who get paid to say stuff.
Now, when people can get paid to here, I'm going to advertise
this shampoo or something, which is just a neutral.
You know, there's nothing diabolical about, hey, I like this product.
I'm endorsing it.
But when it comes to political stuff,
almost all people who are paid to say stuff
are paid to say stuff to serve a political agenda
that is getting funded in one way or another by way of stolen money
the government stealing stuff.
Republican Party, the Democratic Party, like it's all like
we're going to run for office and fill in all your money
because you just really want to help mankind.
Or because, you know, for a while when you get there,
you will then have leverage to be able to do things with government
violence, and then people with money will give you money
to force the violence in a certain direction.
This kind of a strain from selling numbers around the fabric.
This is not right.
So, so almost all those guys
who are doing political stuff is going to go to naturally
for a natural, for government, natural,
besides that, it's naturally, naturally
to the political agenda and to do exactly that
and not just force them to follow normal,
I apologize, they're going to believe it.
It's just a belief in stuff.
So right now, for right now,
you're going to have to talk to your parents.
I can't.
But it is it is your
lies to us all lists or put
you know, finding.
Johnson Jonathan to some extent.
We much like but I love
And of course, the liberty of the side and the moment
and the liberty of the source, of course,
revealed the feeling to the willing
to have been taught of the job offer
of jump-ship, to be the king, to say what they mean to us,
being told the same thing, the truth.
We saw lots of people sort of go off the bandwagon
that were like, to slain me, to sort of be pro-freedom
and they obviously weren't.
It's like people thought, you know,
the grand fall was going to be appropriate
and despite the vision of politician.
And it's like, he's a politician.
He's signed by definition already.
One of those professional stuff-sayers,
like he has multiple influences on him,
even if he sounds like a lot of folks.
Of course, of course, he went the way of just,
it was just basically thinking to me,
I think it's been because that didn't turn out,
that didn't turn out to be anything
because he's just, he's bought off by the sort of,
circus already.
And so, even like, step on mono,
which is the way this guy that was for a while back
in like 2012, 2013, speaking strictly voluntary as principles
and all the way sounded like an anarchist
and was all the way there
and talking about real freedom.
And then it became obvious that there was some other influence
because he jumped ship out of nowhere
in a way that someone who thinks that way to real
doesn't do, unless there's an incentive to.
And so there's so many situations in which
the professional stuff-saying thing,
it's like, well, if you wanna say something
and you believe in it, and that's really what you believe.
And then someone's like,
hey, I wanna throw money at you and support you
continuing to say that,
because I know it costs you a lot of your time.
That's one thing, that's great.
But most of what you see in the world isn't that.
You can see that most people in anywhere up close
to commenting on politics,
even if it's anti-politics or talking about it,
still have some sort of organization or group of people
or small company or committee or pact or board
or something that's like, okay,
but we would like to influence, we like your audience
and we want your audience.
So we're gonna pay you
and then we hope to nudge what you say by us paying you.
And that's a lot of the world.
Yeah, and it can totally be like people are,
oh, this politician goes out there
and he criticizes the new war.
Okay, but what is he being paid to say?
That's why you need to vote for Democrats.
Okay, so you're still a parasite of government extortion.
You're pretending to be in principle
against this particular example of authoritarian bullshit,
but you're not.
You're just in favor of a different flavor
of authoritarian bullshit.
And it's just economically speaking, it's weird.
I've talked about this before.
It's weird for me to be in a position
where almost everybody who knows me
knows that supporting me makes no difference
to what I'm gonna say.
Like, I'm gonna say what I believe.
If you give me nothing,
like the vast majority of you have given me nothing
and I say what I think,
if you give me a million dollars,
I'm gonna say the exact same thing.
So there's no return to the person donating
unlike when it's like a political committee.
We want you to go out and push this bill or stop saying,
I mean, even the Libertarian Party,
I happen to have some inside channels
knowing that people high up in that
were very much just being paid to be ponds
of the political establishment and like,
well, we're gonna get these Libertarian voters
to support Trump because these people paid this
and it just turns into this atrocity.
Even if a bunch of people involved in the party
think they're for freedom,
it's still most of the influence comes from money
from a ruling class robbing shit out of people.
And I'm gonna say the same thing either way.
So you get this, mostly I'm a free stuff sayer
because like my YouTube videos are free and all that.
But you get this weird dynamic
where some people support what we do,
but it isn't for them.
It's like, yeah, we already know this.
Like sometimes they're like,
hey, I like your video about that or whatever.
But it's not like, wow, that really changed our mind.
It's like, well, we already knew that.
We already are a volunteerist.
So the ones donating when people do
aren't even donating for their benefit.
They're donating because they want other people to hear it,
which is sort of a weird financial setup
because if you remove the customer,
if you remove the person paying for it,
for who's getting the benefit, it's economically weird.
Like those of you who understand Austrian economics know that.
If the person paying isn't the one who gets the thing,
it makes for a strange dynamic
because most of the people getting the message,
they at least don't want it right now.
And there've been lots of people who have later on said,
yeah, I'm gonna donate some to you
because like you help change my life
or the most dangerous superstition or whatever.
But they all say back then, I really didn't want to hear it.
I thought you were crazy.
I thought this was ridiculous.
So back then they're not gonna like,
I'm gonna pay you to say something I think is stupid
and ridiculous and unrealistic and utopian.
So back then they have no reason to want to support it.
And then later they have no need to support it
because like, okay, now I understand it.
So I don't need you to pay you Larkin to say it again.
I already understand it.
I can tell myself that just as easily.
So there's this weird dynamic.
But a bunch of people have like later donated and said,
I'm glad retroactively for stuff I learned
from the books or movies or whatever.
But it just makes for this weird dynamic
where mostly the people who donate
are donating for other people to hear it.
Although there is the exception of candles in the dark
where it is a thing we actually do
and charge for targeting entirely voluntaryists,
teaching them a way to talk to other people
like a particular method and mindset
of talking to other people without it
being stressful and nasty and horrible.
So like if you don't know,
if you're somebody who doesn't know,
Larkin and I put the candles in the dark seminar
on the web a few years back
because our friend Kason was like,
you guys need to shoot your seminar.
That's a two day seminar,
teaching people how to communicate about liberty
and have it online
because you guys are losing money on this seminar.
And candles in the dark, the seminar is,
that's what it was, the seminar came about
because we're in this weird space now
where there's enough people who understand
this idea called freedom and true freedom
but they don't know how to reach their family with it
and they don't know how to reach the hardest people
to talk to about it that they feel are the most programmed.
And most of humans when we like
figure out something revolutionary to us,
our response to that is not to tactfully go
and ask other people questions
that will lead them to wonder the same things we got to.
That's not what we do.
We tend to lose tact.
We tend to get excited evangelical and like, oh my God,
I have this cool idea.
You gotta listen to it.
And like, or, you know,
or it's from the negative end of it.
It's like, you need to listen to me.
There's this important message.
And if we don't get it out there
and like those two different things make it
so that like communication just falls apart there.
And then you have all these divides
where people who are trying to just say,
hey, I'm actually about freedom.
I just want you to listen to me talk about real freedom
for a minute or triggering or alienating
or whatever family members
and their family members aren't,
they're just programmed status.
They aren't trying to be alienated
but they are people who are brainwashed.
So if we're coming at people
and we aren't reaching them right
then the message of freedom doesn't get out, right?
So candles in the dark came about
because Larkin had so much experience
actually talking to people,
talking at them and asking them questions
that he figured out talking at people
really doesn't work, asking them questions
that helps them figure out what they know
and then figure out what they don't know
and then start to question reality and then go,
oh, maybe I'm not right about everything.
Maybe the statism thing does need some looking at.
Maybe I am an anarchist.
They look at that if you ask them the right questions.
And so we figured,
Larkin figured this out from years of doing this.
And then candles in the dark came about
because there was a need for so many people
in the Liberty Movement to go,
help, help, how do we spread liberty?
And so we have this temporary space
where we make some money a little bit,
not much, but a little bit off of
if people buy that program
that we spent a lot of time and energy
to do in person for over a year, I think.
Yeah, I forget how many we did.
It was at least like we lost,
yeah, we made money on one candles in the dark
in person that we did.
That was the anarcho-polka one
because like 90 people showed up to that event and paid.
And so we actually made money on that.
We were doing it as a labor of love
and we knew that the Liberty community
wasn't huge to begin with.
There's this little small niche of people
that are like, awake enough to know,
I need to know how to communicate to people
and I want your seminar, Amanda and Larkin.
So it's not like there's a huge demand.
So even the business model we kind of have
that we created off of selling freedom,
it's not really, is actually not selling it
to the people who need it most and want to hear it.
It's literally selling how to teach
and get freedom through to the masses,
to the people that know it,
but just want to know how to communicate it better.
And if enough people wake up, we know full well
that that's not a, like we're not gonna make money
on candles in the dark anymore
and we wouldn't need it
if the whole world wakes up,
it becomes not a business model, right?
So it is a weird space to be in.
He's right, because the only way you really make,
like if people just don't want to hear something
or it's gonna hurt their programming,
then like how do you entice someone to listen to you?
Okay, well now we have a pocket of people
who did read his book and dared to or are awake.
And now they're just like,
okay, now Larkin helped me reach other people.
That's kind of what we have some space.
So we sort of have two different audiences
that are like diametrically opposed.
The people who already are volunteers at this point.
And there's still like,
people can debate different little tidbits here and there,
but who are basically on the same page
and don't need the message.
Like they don't, they already understand it.
And then the people who,
so there's the people who don't need the message.
And then there's the people who don't want the message,
which is the state of them.
So it's a very weird position to be in.
I was gonna point out that it's something cool
happening in the world that's newer
that I don't remember happening before.
I don't think it did.
And I know enough about history now to know,
like it's been brought about partly by the internet.
So it's got to be more recent,
but now that enough of the world understands
seeing what happens with the internet,
which is like the hive mind communicating,
instant global communication,
ideas spread really fast, right?
Now people understand that ideas by themselves
are really fricking powerful
and they can change a lot of things really quickly.
If a lot of people's minds change really quickly.
And so there's this incentive in the world now
where a lot of people kind of understand,
it benefits me a lot.
If my neighbors and the people around me
know about this guy called Larkin Rose
or at least know his stuff.
And even if they don't know about him,
they know about the ideas of freedom.
So it's like, if I tell them about Larkin stuff
and they just go figure out freedom
and then they know about actual anarchy,
it benefits me if these people know
about the principles of freedom.
So even if they don't know who you are, it's not about that.
If my whole neighborhood just knows about,
I don't believe in the state,
I don't want to involve in like government is immoral,
coercion is immoral, taxes are immoral, that benefits me.
And the more people are realizing
I actually really wanna see my neighborhood
not be stressing me out and people around me be free.
They have an incentive and a motivation.
So for the first time ever,
what you're talking about is like,
mankind is doing this in different ways
like for freedom stuff, but all over the place.
People are sort of funding, like I'm awake now,
I'm gonna fund you going and pushing this idea
on the next people that aren't ready to hear it
as basically it's philosophical charity.
It's like, you're not donating to someone's hunger,
you're donating to like an addict of statism
that doesn't want to be free of their addiction yet.
You're like, I'm gonna help you,
some people you don't even know it yet
are gonna go talk to you
and then you're gonna get free
of that weird belief in your head.
You don't even know it yet, random stranger out there.
But I'm paying for someone named Larkin
to teach me how to figure out how to talk to you
and then I'm gonna go talk to you
because the thing you don't know you need yet is to be free.
So it's literally kind of a philosophical charity in a way.
And there's a weird time aspect involved
where lots of people will, if they read my book
or they'd listened to, you know,
I'm certainly not the only one.
They learn about volunteerism and they get to a point
where like they stop watching my videos
because why bother?
I mean, I try to make stuff that's different new enough
that people can, who are already on the same side,
grumbling belly, we're the hungry in America.
Shut up stomach.
Where I'm making stuff for people to understand it
but to a point it makes absolute sense
that a bunch of people, well, we're on the same page
and I don't need to watch your videos anymore
because I mostly know what you're gonna say.
As opposed to people who, you know, like a plumber,
he's not going out and teaching people
how to do their own plumbing to render himself unnecessary.
It's like, no, you're dependent on me for certain services
because I know how to do that and you don't.
And it's weird to be in a business.
It's not gonna be just a business, but whatever.
Where once I explain something enough
or once anybody explains enough to somebody,
then it's all the way there.
And they understand, yeah, I own myself.
I'm not beholden to these trucks.
Okay, we're done.
Like you don't have a reason to listen to me anymore.
I mean, we have candles in the dark.
Well, we should tell people how to get it,
but let me finish my thought first.
But it's weird that my goal is to do things
to render myself unnecessary, not only worldwide.
Like if everybody stopped believing in government, cool.
We can like go play music and stuff
and never say another word about this
because it doesn't matter anymore.
People don't believe it anymore.
But it's also true on an individual basis
of I want each person to get to the point
where they all the way understand non-aggression
and self-ownership to the point
that they don't need to listen to me or read my books
because da, they are like this book,
which is the most important thing I've ever written.
I so look forward to the day when it's completely useless
because it's so freaking obvious
that everybody would say,
why did anybody need to write a book about that?
Da.
And so nobody needs it
because everybody understands it.
And it's sort of weird
to intentionally be trying to make yourself obsolete,
like worldwide and also on an individual basis.
So many people, I mean the whole political machine is about,
give us power and then keep giving us power
and keep giving us money and keep voting for us
because then we'll be in power
and you'll be dependent on us
and we'll be serving you, bullshit.
But you need to keep us there.
Like the Republican party, the Democratic party,
no politician is like, vote for me once
and then we'll fix it and we're done
and you don't have to vote for me or give me,
like they're trying to put themselves into a position
where they keep getting power and money and attention
because that's what the political system is.
And it's weird to be in a position where my goal
is for everything I do about this
to be completely unnecessary.
Yeah, like ideally if this works within our lifetimes,
which I don't have the hope that all statism
is gonna go away in my lifetime,
it'd just be cool to see a lot of it die down
thanks to the internet.
And like my hope is genuinely if this works
to see at some point that we all the way back off
of having to even do YouTube to talk about this stuff
or anything, we just go back to our lives
as regular musicians and doing other stuff
because we're not people who are like,
we're just regular people who have actual skills
and abilities and talents that we'd rather be doing too
than having to like, okay, we need to take time
to tell the world, stop having worse.
Like, you know, like it's like we have to take time
to talk about this stuff, we can't do other things.
If you notice the people in the movement
that seem to have the most obvious sliminess
or weirdest agendas, pay attention
because usually they don't have any,
you can actually eventually figure out
they don't have anything else going on outside of that.
As in, if they didn't have a way to keep making
you give them money, they wouldn't have anything.
They wouldn't have an identity.
In contrast, here we have,
this is the opening screen of the mirror
if you didn't know, I didn't even,
I wouldn't even intentional,
it just makes for a fun background.
And the worst example of a business model ever is the mirror.
It's something that takes years to put together
a massive amount of effort and as soon as it's done
it's given away to the whole world for free.
So there's like no profit to be made when it's done.
Now there are people helping fund it
so I can get it done to get it out to the world
but it's like the dumbest business investment possible
is massive amount of time and effort needed to make a thing
and then give it away for free.
So there's no chance for any,
and also when it's done,
then I stopped getting the support to work on it
because now it's done.
So it's the most, as far as like business acumen
it's like the dumbest approach you could possibly have
if your goal is like financial prosperity.
But I mean, I've learned long ago about myself
that this is what I think I'm supposed to be doing
whether I'm living in a cardboard box in a puddle.
He's definitely supposed to be making music.
And as long as there's also humans hurting each other
and doing counterproductive stuff
so we can't only make music all the time
he knows that he's called to do this and deal with it
and he's not gonna rest until he sees a significant drop.
Like it's not like every status in the world
we ever hear about or all the harm
we could possibly know about has to stop.
There's eight billion people
and the world's gonna keep having conflicts.
But if a massive amount of the war
and the statism and the crap going on
finally fucking died down a bit
because actually the internet was able to reach
enough of the world and enough of the ideas
got out there and reach enough people,
you better believe this dude is not,
you're not gonna see him on YouTube all the time anymore.
He's just gonna be having fun making a bunch of albums
with me, like that's what we're gonna do.
In nature and making a bunch of stuff.
So he's compelled to do it and he's supposed to do it
as long as his spirit is telling him
there's a need for it in the world
and the world is telling us pretty loudly right now
that statism is peaking before its plummet
and to just being gone, like it's doing
and the thing is is people say,
oh what do you mean being gone?
Like I didn't say when, I didn't say in my lifetime
I'm talking about in the big timeline
it might still be past my lifetime
before it started to all the way die off
but we are watching in real time
the belief in some random authority or state authority
or badge and uniformed and licensed authority die off
and that is a really good thing to watch happen.
So we're trying to help that happen faster
and that's what the mirror is about and other stuff
because we're the people that want
to not have to do any of this.
We want to go back to our regular stuff.
Some of you may not bother paying attention
to all the stupid status talking heads
but there is a huge number of them
that already had audiences that were like
rah, rah, rah for Trump mostly.
And a lot of them are now saying
we can't vote our way out of this.
This is like they're having the realization
because of the war in Iran
and because of the Epstein stuff
that they're coming right out.
People who are like,
Rah, where you gotta vote, Rah?
I'm not gonna, where you gotta,
like two seconds ago
are coming right out.
Now there's still status.
They haven't figured out the underlying problem
but they're coming right out
and saying voting is never gonna fix this.
Both sides are slime balls.
They're always gonna betray us.
And that's a bunch of people with big audiences
just in the last like year
and then in the last 10 years.
But there is a massive shift going
and those people,
even though they still are status,
they still assume, well, I have to have government.
This one is too corrupt
and maybe we have to get rid of it
and then make a new one.
But they're at the point where it would be so easy
to nudge a bunch of these people
into understanding that, yeah,
the entire system is bullshit right now
but it isn't because golly gee,
it just happened to be corrupt.
It's because the entire notion of authority
is going to lead to this.
There isn't such things
representative government, you all know this anyway.
But the number of people
who actually have audiences
who are about that close to being able
to actually understand that is huge now.
Oh yeah.
Well, the fact that anarchy as a word
has not only become mainstream and talked about
including like misrepresented and talked about wrong
but the word did not exist in public discourse at all
unless you were a high school or being like,
I like punk rock.
I got this cool anarchy wristband.
You know, like two and a half or three decades ago
it didn't like there wasn't just discussion about it
as a public idea
whether people are getting it right or getting it wrong.
Now there's this discussion.
There's a consideration of it
including by the supposedly alternative media
which is just a different flavor of bought mainstream media
but like the libertarian ish supposed media
has had anarchists or supposed anarchists on
and even if they're not always exact
they're pretty close or dead on
with some things they're saying
that are actually like the concepts of freedom
spoken out loud that are right
you'll hear a sentence come out
or a few sentences come out
or several things come out of someone that's on camera
on a show and it's like, it's a discourse now
we're talking about this.
Anarchy has entered the discussion.
Yes, anarchy has entered the group chat
because a bunch of people are really fucking sick
of what they're seeing
and they're starting to understand
that the anarchists this whole time
haven't been saying every man for himself
no one cares about the poor
we've been saying exactly the opposite
we've been saying if you want people
to be able to even figure this out
if humans have a chance at organizing peacefully
the last thing that humans need on the planet
is this giant belief that some of us have special powers
if we give us badges guns and licenses and guns
to tell other people and use physical deadly force
to make other people live their lives
how they say we should
and if we get that out of the way
we can still have rules and order and agreements
and businesses and none of the bullshit that government
the giant thief in the room
that's creating the problem
generates is going to start a problem
because it's gone
and the world is starting to just get the like
oh you mean anarchy doesn't have to mean
every man for itself
it means we might actually be able to be able
to do something about this shit in the law
and most of these people know that
anywhere but yeah it's sort of a
it's a weird situation to be in
to be trying to spread a message that anyway
this wasn't supposed to be like a pledge of thong
so we can sort of wrap it up
I might quickly scan the comments and see if
because at some point I want to do one of these
and actually have it mostly be about the comments
and back and forth
well let's look at what comments are here right now
do we have any
well that's a billion but
I mean like questions like I see people
I will see
but oh also
pointed the books behind you
yeah I was gonna say I'll scroll through
gobs if you want to
I will
but the book deal 50 bucks is a signed copy
of all of these
sent anywhere in the U.S.
and
but it has to be in the U.S.
and don't forget to
tell me an address for where to send it
please remember to send an address

okay a lot of people
or a few people have said
the audio is lagging
which is weird
like it's there but it's lagging
huh that might be on their end
on their streaming end
um
is there
any questions
grabbed up
so I
I won't bother that I don't want this to last
to go too long anyway but we I am gonna do more
back and forth interactive ones
mainly I wanted to do this as an experiment to make sure it actually works
and then it looks like it's getting hit so we're happy about that
yeah people are
just saying nice things
we didn't exactly say anything
that would prompt some philosophical question
not really
but yeah first of all if you want to support us
that's hugely helpful because the people who need to hear the message
don't want to hear the message
you're the audience that actually can benefit from our services
so if you haven't actually bought the candles in the dark seminar
please go invest in it
doing the seminar myself
and teaching that seminar
made me a better communicator
and a lot of people have said that it
they were shocked they waited as long to do it because
it isn't preaching at people it doesn't teach you how to preach at people
it literally teaches you how to put down all of the arguments
all the convincing people
and we're so good at business we haven't told them where to go yet
I will in a second I'm getting to that
don't rush me that's what I'm saying
if you don't feel rushed
only to happen hour
yeah well that's at the end at the end you say here's where to go to do it
but you talk about yourself first so that's okay
so um so
so the candles in the dark seminar
you can go get it on uh the rose channel dot com
if you go to the rose channel dot com
it's a pretty
it's literally black and yellow like the
and kept voluntary as colors
and you go there and larkin's content is there
and you can

like there's different things on the website to go see
but our actual candles in the dark seminar
is still there that you can go click on
purchase it and then you have access to
it was a two-day long as in like
we're talking seven hours of talking for larkin
two days in a row at a room
and filmed like it's an extensive seminar

that and it is a really good deal
I don't even know what its price at now

on a monthly thing
you can also get it at attend candles dot com
where you just pay for it once and you have it forever
right so if you want to subscribe to the rosechannel.com's content
and that means you'll get whatever content
we're posting exclusively for subscribers
which we do monthly content right now
and we just started a series
we're doing larkin's doing and I'm doing called
statism ruins everything
and then we go through the different aspects of life
that statism affects and influences
and then we wrap up on a positive note
and sort of talk about in the segments
like what are some real life practical answers
to dealing with the aspects of life
statism is currently affecting or ruining or whatever
so there's
and so you get you get that content on the rosechannel.com
for I believe it's still only 30 bucks a month
I think that's it 30 bucks a month yep
and so you can sign up you can also sign up
you can I'll just blatantly point it out
you can do this and we've told people
they're welcome to do this
if you're like I don't want to go to attend candles.com
and pay the whole price for that seminar right now
because I don't have that money
but I really want the candles in the dark seminar
you can just go subscribe for 30 bucks for a month to our content
get the seminar off the website
and then you could cancel your subscription
if you can't afford to keep paying us 30 bucks a month
for our content
I should have been organized enough to make a list of the stuff on the website
because there's several hundred
like audio blogs from the past when I did
snarkin wait snarkin larkin or outside the cage
he did a pod audio podcast called snarkin with larkin
and it was just literally rants
and a bunch of that audio rant stuff is on the rosechannel.com
I believe Patrick Smith's reading of the most dangerous superstition is there
there's a ton of stuff there that I don't remember
and I should have written down before we did this video
well we'll do here we'll do a follow-up live
where we just cover we'll literally just talk about our content
we'll tell you what is there
tell you what's on the rosechannel.com
but you can go there and subscribe
you can get attend candles get the seminar there
and I just wanted to one more add the point that
a lot of people who've done the candles in the dark seminar
and took it with the goal of just trying to have
easier conversations about liberty with their friends and family
and break through and get them to even think about it
that was their only goal
they have come back and told us
that accidentally the way that that seminar
reframed their brain and helped them learn to ask questions
instead of preach
made it so that they're a better communicator
and they're having more successes in overall life
because they're applying that method of communication to other things
and the secret is is because it's just the Socratic method
so well it kind of there's a ton of it is that
but it isn't just the questions it isn't just the mindset is fundamental
and that's the thing that most people your mind when somebody
understands self-ownership and non-aggression and stateless society
they think well I already understand it so the entire problem
is the other person I'm going to preach at them
they don't get that their own mindset and outlook
vastly biases how they communicate
and whether it's actually going to be effective at all
so a bunch of candles in the dark
it we do get to the actual questions and lines of questioning
but a lot of it is training yourself to be in a different mindset
and that the main difference I'll just throw this in before we wrap up
is that if you view somebody else says
you're a person who has a shitty belief system
I'm going to talk you into having a good belief system
you're probably going to fail if you view them as
you're a person who's trying to be good and has a
decent moral code mostly but you've been taught some bullshit
that's actually making you betrayed your own foundational moral code
and I'm going to try to help you see that so you can escape that bullshit
by way of gentle questions yeah yeah
so if you view them as a good person who means well who's been deceived
rather than some advocate of stupid evil shit
right and the way you talk to them will be completely different
yeah and that's what that's what like the
so candles in the dark the seminar day one focuses on your mindset
day two of the seminar and it's online again it's all in online content
but day two is us addressing the actual questions the lines of questioning
that are basically the Socratic method as tailored to specific questions
Larkin came up with that are around of course this stuff and statism
but they're just questions that the average person they're kind of disarming
they make someone think and the person wants to answer
and when someone's just answering a question and they're not in combat mode
and they don't think this is a volley of what you think versus what I think
you know they tend to actually be open
and then it can turn into a conversation where you might share some of what you think
but candles in the dark actually freeze you from having to make it at all about
what you think like me the anarchist doesn't need to
win or tell the status that here's the punchline of what I think and you need to believe it
I could not I don't even have to give away that I'm an anarchist at first
one of the rules is you never say what you think except to agree with them
when you're in candles in the dark and you just ask questions to get them to start thinking
by the way the if anybody out there hasn't heard of the mirror
which has been in the work for ages but I heard they were talking about it
mirrors an interactive program that does the same thing by itself
it uses the exact same approach of candles in the dark
but it doesn't even have one human being required
it's an interactive thing that does it all by itself that I've been working on
so that ages that's partly why he was working on that is because we figured out
okay what if a person could have a me or a larkin or somebody there or something
asking them the questions that just ask some questions
that get them thinking so that they hit the wall of their own cognitive dissonance
themselves on their own and that's where the mirror came in
because he's like we could have a computer program that does this
for people and it's insanely complex but it's
oh my gosh you guys it has taken him many many years to finish that script
the script alone of all the questions everything for it
he finally finished now we're recording the narration and working on the visual
this started over a decade ago and people we want to thank people people have literally
donated thousands of dollars so that he could stay afloat we could pay the bills
and he could completely focus on working on this and getting it done
there is a patreon page for me working on the mirror that I haven't mentioned in a billion years
I also haven't updated in a billion years um but I'll throw the link I'll change the description
of this and throw the link in there anyway I can we can wrap this up now if I can do that
without blowing up the world I think you just click a button um but we'll see how this
experiment goes and see how many people see it and then all that fun stuff
thanks for tuning in as we just rudely threw ourselves into your face um
thanks for being a part of our youtube live experiment to see if people show up
now we'll go see it worked people showed up
fair the royal goodbye
