[0:00]hello humans so I've changed the plans

[0:03]I'm going to Lake Cumberland I did some

[0:05]research and I think I found a place

[0:06]that I might enjoy no hiking I'm covered

[0:09]in mosquito bites and just kind of need

[0:13]a break from that I just want to go

[0:14]chill at the lake for a while so I went

[0:16]out to empty my dehumidifier and I saw

[0:20]this animal and it ran and got up on my

[0:23]tire this thing was so cute it was so

[0:26]cute I don't know what it was though it

[0:28]looked like kind of like a faet it like

[0:30]a thin body and it was like black and

[0:33]brown was just such a vibrant beautiful

[0:36]color I wish I knew what it was I wish I

[0:38]could have got on video I didn't have my

[0:39]camera and that thing was

[0:41]fast what was that thing so let's talk

[0:45]about the things I don't talk about cuz

[0:48]I want you to understand how my system

[0:51]thinking ands my

[0:54]behavior so I am on my way to a I'm

[0:58]going to turn this down a little I'm on

[1:00]my way

[1:01]to the core of engineer place which I

[1:04]believe has they use access I'm just

[1:08]going to go hang out on the

[1:11]lake cor of

[1:13]Engineers these places are everywhere

[1:16]and they tend to be around bodies of

[1:19]water from A System's perspective that's

[1:22]a system

[1:24]okay if what I think is going to happen

[1:27]comes to fruition those systems will be

[1:29]be impacted this is how you think about

[1:32]systems everything is interconnected so

[1:35]these places aren't necessarily going to

[1:37]exist forever and I want to experience

[1:40]them I want to be out in the world and

[1:43]just

[1:45]experiencing the life that we have now

[1:47]because it's not always going to be here

[1:49]for

[1:51]us that's a

[1:53]hard hard TR to live with and I

[1:57]understand that many of my subscribers

[1:59]probably

[2:01]just can't possibly believe what I do

[2:03]because

[2:04]you probably have a different way of

[2:06]looking at life and when in our society

[2:10]when people talk like this they

[2:12]immediately go to Fringe Theory

[2:15]conspiratorial you know Fringe

[2:19]Theory it's completely misguided that's

[2:23]very um it's very reductive because I'm

[2:26]not any of those things I am a systems

[2:28]thinker that is who I am am I am always

[2:31]thinking about

[2:33]systems I'll give you an example so this

[2:36]is what I learned today when I

[2:40]am on the

[2:42]campgrounds if if Nobody's around I will

[2:45]I will hang out outside my my site I'll

[2:48]just hang out out there I it's Pleasant

[2:49]it's wonderful if there are people

[2:52]around I'm thinking about the fact that

[2:56]I don't like I don't like that I like my

[2:58]solitude I'm also thinking about the

[3:00]fact that they're going to be aware of

[3:02]my

[3:03]presence I'm looking at the

[3:05]interconnectedness of everything that

[3:08]informs my

[3:09]behavior it's a holistic systems

[3:12]thinking approach to life and it's just

[3:14]an innate part of who I

[3:16]am

[3:18]and if you pay really close attention to

[3:21]my content you will see it a lot of

[3:24]people seem to think that I'm just a

[3:25]complainer I'm complaining about things

[3:27]no I'm looking at my situation I'm I'm

[3:31]deconstructing it so that I can better

[3:34]understand all the systems at place so

[3:36]that I can come up with the straty that

[3:38]works for my type of

[3:40]brain mine isn't normal it

[3:43]isn't every cognitive style has value

[3:46]but mine is rare and it's worth

[3:49]listening to but you have to listen

[3:52]deeply andly truly is the most beautiful

[3:55]state I have ever been to and I've been

[3:56]to many but not all for me this place is

[4:00]just beautiful I love

[4:03]Kentucky you might notice that I tend to

[4:05]listen to a song on

[4:08]repeat that's who I am it's what I do I

[4:11]hear a song and it resonates with me

[4:14]that day and I want to be in that

[4:15]internal state if I were to listen to

[4:17]other types of music it will change my

[4:19]internal State I know myself well these

[4:21]are all systems holistic thinking things

[4:24]that I have fully integrated I have

[4:26]truly evolved into my true self I

[4:30]understand me and I'm trying to show you

[4:33]guys a path forward for you to do that

[4:35]if that's something you want to

[4:37]do and I think I'm getting better at

[4:40]communicating

[4:42]it and I think if you follow my journey

[4:45]and you want to reach the same Heights I

[4:48]have it's well within your ability to do

[4:52]the truth is I I want that for people

[4:55]because I am so happy with the progress

[5:00]I've made I see its potential I see it

[5:03]from A System's perspective if other

[5:05]people were to embark on this journey

[5:08]the way that I have they would be

[5:11]happier more fulfilled people it would

[5:13]change the world and I think about the

[5:16]fact that if I had known these things

[5:18]when I was younger I would have turned

[5:20]out so different I'd have my teeth you

[5:22]know that's a system thing too you know

[5:24]taking care of your body

[5:27]um I just if I I had those tools when I

[5:30]was younger if I truly understood myself

[5:33]I would have loved and respected myself

[5:35]so much more than I did and I would have

[5:37]accomplish so much more and so I'm

[5:41]hoping to inspire others especially the

[5:44]youth to to make use of the tools that I

[5:46]have to truly grow and understand

[5:49]themselves because there's so much value

[5:51]in this I want that more than anything I

[5:54]leave a lot unset so let me explain what

[5:57]I mean when I say it would change the

[5:58]world it would change the world because

[6:00]that's how you think about

[6:02]systems there is a dog out in the

[6:05]road pretty dog

[6:08]but

[6:10]um

[6:12]when you change the internal state of

[6:15]people when you help them to

[6:17]evolve there is a ripple effect into

[6:20]other

[6:22]systems it changes the world on a deep

[6:25]level that you cannot even comprehend I

[6:28]cannot comprehend because those Ripple

[6:31]effects are hard to

[6:33]see for someone like me I'm constantly

[6:36]analyzing situations that way I come up

[6:39]with multiple interpretations of things

[6:41]multiple possibilities like when I look

[6:44]at what's happening to the world right

[6:46]now I see a lot of different outcomes

[6:49]but they all Point towards a system

[6:51]collapse how bad it is how it

[6:54]is um articulated in life those are all

[6:58]things that I can't possibly know but I

[7:01]can imagine

[7:03]know and so it's an undercurrent in my

[7:05]life all the time and I just want to

[7:08]live I just want to live and have the

[7:12]best life I can have for as long as I

[7:14]can so we're going to Lake Cumberland I

[7:17]am in such a fundamentally different

[7:19]space that I don't spend my time reading

[7:22]books or watching movies or playing

[7:24]video games none of that appeals to me

[7:26]right now my brain is just not in a

[7:29]space

[7:30]to be that type of a to be just to be in

[7:33]that space it

[7:35]just it's not where my mind is Happ and

[7:38]so I just have to get out of that camper

[7:41]and go and experience these natural

[7:45]environments that bring me so much peace

[7:47]and joy I want that for you guys too you

[7:51]know you're in the mountains when you

[7:52]got to be in fourth GE to get up a

[7:57]hill whole bunch of these

[8:05]baby I'm falling for

[8:16][Music]

[8:19]you something wrong with

[8:23]this act have not got a

[8:28]clue baby

[8:35][Music]

[8:40]how I just love that woman's voice

[8:43]because it is so beautiful and so subtle

[8:47]but it adds so much doubt to this song

[9:10][Music]

[9:24][Music]

[9:30]don't you want

[9:37]me

[9:40][Music]

[9:52]you don't you want me

[11:14]Oh don't you want me

[11:18]baby don't you want me oh

[11:23][Music]

[11:34][Music]

[11:40][Music]

[11:51]I need gas I need to find the

[11:56]r don't even know where I am

[11:59]just destroying the world we got far to

[12:03]go

[12:04][Music]

[12:28]still

[12:58]e

[13:28]e e

[14:23]and fuel for

[14:24]me I met a very nice man at the gas

[14:27]station I think he was still working on

[14:29]his English it took me three attempts to

[14:32]understand him but he was saying that

[14:34]red is his favorite color he was talking

[14:35]about my Jeep I like this is my third

[14:38]one I love red T little interactions

[14:42]like that can be profound they can be

[14:45]meaningful and they can be

[14:48]beautiful I honored that man I hope the

[14:51]next time you meet someone like him you

[14:52]do the same the world is full of

[14:55]diversity and it's

[14:57]wonderful if we could just love each

[15:02]other I would feel so much less pain

[15:04]living in this

[15:06]world it's hard for someone like me to

[15:08]live in a

[15:09]world where people treat each other so

[15:13]badly I would not choose Solitude if I

[15:16]live in a different world I choose

[15:18]Solitude because it's the only way that

[15:20]I can feel any sense of Peace in a world

[15:23]in this

[15:37]and without

[15:48][Music]

[15:56]you I just figured out what the

[15:58]crackling noise is it's my uh it's the

[16:01]grip on my my um steering wheel when I'm

[16:05]gripping it it makes a little noises

[16:07]especially with the phone here I

[16:09]think I'm doing

[16:16]that without you in a qu mile turn right

[16:20]onto Kentucky 910 South when societies

[16:24]collapse they don't collapse

[16:27]equally these people have a like higher

[16:30]likelihood of survival because they have

[16:32]resources they have

[16:36]Community you don't even want to know

[16:37]what I think about the rich are going to

[16:39]do it's going to be ugly you see

[16:43]Farmland I see an entire

[16:48]ecosystem and how it's going to be

[16:50]utilized in the future I have always

[16:52]been this way I remember when I was like

[16:55]way younger like 21 I was at this this

[16:58]fast food play with some people that I

[17:00]just met and this guy was like if we

[17:03]could just take a V and just take what's

[17:07]in your brain and put it in that vile

[17:08]and give it to people we could sell that

[17:10] I have never forgotten that it was

[17:12]so validating

[17:19][Music]

[17:30]n

[17:38][Music]

[17:50][Music]

[17:59]oh

[18:07][Music]

[20:29]highway

[20:34][Music]

[20:45]1664 I hate talking about this because I

[20:47]know that

[20:50]it causes conflict with my subscribers

[20:53]but I'm just going to say it because

[20:55]some things just need to be said I have

[20:58]pass several drum um signs along the way

[21:02]and I want you to know what I see when I

[21:03]see that I see systems of Oppression

[21:06]judgment and acceleration of societal

[21:09]collapse and some of y'all participated

[21:12]that

[21:14][Music]

[21:35]in a qu mile turn right on the state

[21:37]highway

[21:44][Music]

[21:48]761 see that church there whenever I see

[21:51]a church I also see systems in this case

[21:55]I see systems of control and judgment

[21:58]again

[21:59]and a lot of y'all participate in that

[22:01]too take the next ride on I'm not on

[22:04]YouTube to inspire you or to give you

[22:06]pretty pictures of what I see in the

[22:08]world I'm here to tell you the truth I'm

[22:10]here to ask you to engage in critical

[22:12]thinking

[22:17][Music]

[22:24][Music]

[22:34]oh

[22:35][Music]

[22:49][Music]

[22:55][Music]

[23:17]so AI suggested this place to me and

[23:20]said I couldn't be here for day Ed

[23:23]purposes um we might need to confirm

[23:25]that there is a campground here um with

[23:28]RV so we're going to look into

[23:31]that we're going to discuss what I just

[23:34]said in a minute I going to make it very

[23:36]clear that I don't believe you should

[23:37]judge individuals all right this place

[23:40]is officially awesome the people I

[23:43]talked to were amazing um they gave me a

[23:46]beautiful map I'll show you and we're

[23:48]just going to go find a place to hang

[23:50]out have some fun check this map out

[23:52]this thing's amazing I'm going to

[23:54]treasure this thing I don't even want to

[23:55]fold it up I want to go hang it up in my

[23:57]RV

[23:59]but I'm going to have to fold that up

[24:00]aren't I There Are Places all over all

[24:04]over this Lake and this is where we

[24:12]are they said I can go swimming here I

[24:15]actually did bring extra um clothes just

[24:18]in case I did

[24:20]um I don't know if I will we'll see

[24:23]wanted to do the other day I don't know

[24:25]about now some boats out

[24:27]there oh this is this is

[24:30]amazing so they're not open year round

[24:33]they close sometime in

[24:36]September

[24:38]um I think that the campground I'm at

[24:41]now also does I was looking at the

[24:44]reservation just to get a sense of how

[24:45]long people around me are there for and

[24:48]you could see a whole bunch of block of

[24:49]time was cut off I don't think I can

[24:50]stay in Kentucky for much

[24:52]longer

[24:54]so I love this place I would love to be

[24:57]here for autumn

[24:58]maybe not so much winter but I I love

[25:01]you know Autumn it's just wonderful here

[25:03]so I'm going to I'm going to do some

[25:05]researching on that just want to let me

[25:07]just address this so I don't believe

[25:09]that you should judge individuals I

[25:11]truly don't you don't know their stories

[25:13]you don't know how they arrived at the

[25:15]places that they've arrived at you don't

[25:18]know what's influencing them how they're

[25:20]being manipulated like there's so many

[25:22]factors that's what system thinking is

[25:24]all about you look at the systems you

[25:26]judge the systems you don't judge the

[25:28]individuals but you do want to try to

[25:31]educate them and you do want to try to

[25:32]wake them up because that's how you

[25:36]change the

[25:37]systems so I'm going to leave it here

[25:39]for now and you'll probably see a second

[25:42]part of this video later depending on

[25:45]what I do here I have no idea I'm just

[25:47]here to have an enjoyable time you know

[25:50]what I'm am not folding that up I'm

[25:52]going to just take it to my Jeep and

[25:55]when I get back to my RV I'm going to

[25:56]tack that up on that tack boort I have

[25:59]cuz I'm pretty sure this is where I want

[26:00]to live

Summary

rswfire changes plans from hiking to visiting Lake Cumberland due to mosquito bites and need for rest. While driving through Kentucky, he encounters an unidentified black and brown animal near his RV. He discusses his systems thinking approach to life, explaining how he analyzes interconnected systems including potential societal collapse scenarios. He reflects on his cognitive style being rare but valuable, and his desire to help others develop similar self-understanding. During the drive, he listens to music on repeat, stops for gas where he has a brief positive interaction with a man who compliments his red Jeep, and passes various signs and churches which he views through a systems lens as representing oppression and control. He arrives at Lake Cumberland, receives a map from helpful staff, and considers the seasonal closure of campgrounds while planning his stay.
