Experimenting with Starship Narrative Framework While Hiking

The speaker is in Kentucky during summer 2024, dealing with high humidity and mosquito issues. They're living in an RV at a campsite where neighbors recently departed unexpectedly. They have upcoming dental appointments and are planning to move to Baron River Lake in a couple weeks. The speaker has been creating video content regularly and is questioning their content direction.

[0:01]good morning humans it's star dat 1:18

[0:04]0700 in the morning we have a trouble on

[0:07]the bed in the Captain's

[0:10]Quarters we need to open the observation

[0:13]Bay and assess the situation

[0:19]outside it looks like this planet's full

[0:21]of

[0:24]moisture I'm not seeing any activity

[0:31]it may be a good

[0:33]morning let's check on the space takers

[0:35]next

[0:41]door this thing is very slow it's still

[0:45]very dark out oh can't even see out

[0:49]there there's a lot of moisture in the

[0:52]air I have to deal with that oh my God

[0:56]they're gone they've moved on they've

[1:00]making their spaceship and their little

[1:01]Outpost of their little pods and gone

[1:04]away yay oh how

[1:07]wonderful I didn't know so this is going

[1:11]to take some

[1:12]adjustments and I get that it might feel

[1:14]uncomfortable does for me and come here

[1:19]treble you know how this cat

[1:22]is um if you're not going to just sit

[1:26]down Bailey then we have a problem all

[1:30]right

[1:31]so this is an experiment for me I am

[1:34]very

[1:36]curious

[1:39]how how integrating this into my life

[1:42]for a while what it will do I'm very

[1:44]curious like

[1:46]because it's

[1:48]creative it has

[1:52]this it's

[1:54]fun there's the

[1:56]triple and I think it can kind of

[2:00]stretch your cognition like I I'm just

[2:02]intuiting this stuff right now I don't

[2:04]have this won't come naturally for me

[2:07]and it

[2:09]will the process of just

[2:12]trying and I just want to see how it

[2:15]feels

[2:17]and just where it takes me and I'm going

[2:19]to do that for a while because that's

[2:20]what I do I'm as authentic as they come

[2:23]I wanted I've discovered a

[2:26]new uh new

[2:30]way of engaging with the world and I'm

[2:33]going to give it a try and just see how

[2:36]I feel about it we have to empty the

[2:39]Water Reclamation

[2:41]unit preparing to open the air

[2:58]lock oh that's so funny

[3:05]here we

[3:08]go dis supposing of our

[3:27]water it's a very wet place

[3:31]it I saw a cat out here yesterday a

[3:34]little kitten you so cute you looked

[3:37]injured I tried to feed him but I

[3:39]couldn't get him to come to

[3:41]me he ran over to my

[3:44]neighbors

[3:48]um I'm worried about him I want to help

[3:51]him if I

[3:52]can yeah they're gone it's interesting

[3:55]because I thought they were here till

[3:57]Wednesday

[4:00][Music]

[4:12]it's going to be a good day did manage

[4:14]to make quite a lot of progress

[4:16]yesterday in here still got more to

[4:19]do

[4:21]um definitely made a lot of progress

[4:24]though maybe I'll finish it

[4:26]today so I injured my arm um um the

[4:30]night before last in my sleep I think

[4:32]like I sprained my left wrist somehow

[4:35]like maybe I was sleeping on it at a

[4:37]weird angle or something I don't know

[4:39]but I didn't mention it cuz you know I

[4:41]thought it go it's actually worse today

[4:44]like actually really

[4:47]hurts um kind of wanted to explore a new

[4:50]place today but I didn't do any

[4:54]research so I'm probably going to end up

[4:56]with the 47 Bridges just cuz that's

[4:58]easiest for me

[5:01]it's important to do something like that

[5:02]every day so we're going to be doing

[5:05]something so I just I'm going to talk

[5:07]about this because I just cuz I'm

[5:10]processing it this is a new thing for me

[5:13]um when you have such a stark reality

[5:15]like future reality in your mind like I

[5:18]do you know that's

[5:20]stressful and when you can't do anything

[5:23]about it because you know you're just

[5:26]one

[5:27]person um I guess you develop coping

[5:31]mechanisms I don't like me personally I

[5:34]don't really

[5:35]like the idea of coping mechanisms cuz

[5:38]I'm the kind of person who just wants to

[5:40]feel like completely in control and can

[5:43]handle anything and it's just very

[5:46]self-sufficient but you know that's I

[5:48]guess what coping mechanisms are they're

[5:50]part of that and maybe

[5:55]reframing the way I interact with the

[5:58]world will make it

[6:00]feel a little safer for me

[6:04]or

[6:06]um I'm not sure see I'm still intuiting

[6:09]this this is a whole new angle for me I

[6:11]just I'm very curious about the

[6:15]different ways this could manifest and

[6:17]it's just an experiment if I don't feel

[6:19]like it's working that's the end of it

[6:21]but if I do think it's working we're

[6:23]going to build a whole new world this

[6:25]whole new this whole new narrative world

[6:28]where

[6:30]um it just adds an element of fun and

[6:33]excitement and

[6:35]creativity

[6:38]into into reality and and I actually I

[6:42]don't see anything wrong with that like

[6:45]it's just a way of engaging in play that

[6:47]we do as children and we just for some

[6:49]reason stop doing as adults and it could

[6:52]strengthen my my creative abilities you

[6:55]know it could stretch my um my cognition

[7:00]um it's it's worth

[7:03]exploring let me just show you what the

[7:05]insects of this planet have done to

[7:10]me I mean it is just it's killing me

[7:15]it's everywhere I have just been eating

[7:19]alive been using this here stuff works

[7:23]real well I'm thinking I need some

[7:25]dedicated like hiking clothes other cuz

[7:28]like yesterday I went hiking and then I

[7:30]went to the showers after that I'm going

[7:31]to do that again today so I'm going

[7:34]through two pairs of clothes in a day so

[7:36]I'm thinking maybe I just need some

[7:37]hiking clothes you will be seeing me

[7:39]wear the same thing when I go hiking

[7:41]but just wearing them for a couple hours

[7:44]why wouldn't I right so think I'm going

[7:47]to try that

[7:49]today maybe I even go and get some new

[7:52]hiking clothes just some clothes that

[7:54]are just for

[7:56]hiking yeah finally got the atmosphere

[7:59]in here under 50% that took forever like

[8:02]it's been in the 70s 80s probably for a

[8:05]week or more even with this thing

[8:07]running and me emptying it so

[8:10]often so happy about that if I stick

[8:15]with this I I mean it's just it's

[8:16]activating my creative elements I'm

[8:18]thinking whenever I leave my RV and I go

[8:21]through the door you know the air lock

[8:23]there's this little computer voice that

[8:25]says opening air lock like I just can

[8:28]see me having so much fun with it it's

[8:30]time to feed the trible it appears it

[8:33]has developed a habit for one particular

[8:37]brand of food

[8:39]here the trible has clearly developed a

[8:43]preference for one specific form of food

[8:48]here we'll have to remember

[8:52]that you guys have any suggestions on

[8:55]where I might find that locally cuz I've

[8:57]been looking and I can't and Bailey

[9:00]loves it and he doesn't eat wet food

[9:01]because he just refuses it's one of the

[9:03]few things he likes so I need to find

[9:06]more for him all right let's take the

[9:08]shuttlecraft Heatwave on an exploratory

[9:11]mission to the Planet of the 47 Bridges

[9:14]we're following another shuttlecraft

[9:17]looks a lot like ours must be part of

[9:19]our

[9:20]Fleet they've clearly engaged their warp

[9:23]engines thinking I need to find a place

[9:26]for breakfast around here I'm hungry

[9:30]I know me though I'll go straight to the

[9:31]hiking place cuz that's just what I do

[9:35]but I'm getting close to getting my

[9:40]camper organized My

[9:42]Starship and maybe I'll start making

[9:44]breakfast

[9:46]again AL so I wanted to tell you guys

[9:50]um I made plans for the next place I'll

[9:53]be I'm going back to Baron River

[9:56]Lake um it's a couple weeks from now

[10:00]I have like a couple weeks here I got my

[10:03]my top teeth um I can't remember which

[10:06]day but it's next week it's like you

[10:08]know a week from now and then my dentist

[10:11]is going

[10:13]to um she's going to put a soft liner in

[10:15]my bottom ones and maybe they'll be a

[10:18]little more comfortable for me to start

[10:19]wearing again so I need to stick around

[10:22]a little bit longer for her so I made

[10:25]plans to um just go I I actually I love

[10:28]it there we're going to have to find

[10:30]some new trails though because the ones

[10:31]that we've hiked there are you know

[10:34]they're very basic um compared to to my

[10:38]current level of business so we just

[10:40]need to find some better

[10:42]trails

[10:44]and maybe maybe spend some time on the

[10:47]water there you know um I don't know how

[10:50]long I'll be in Kentucky I'm going to

[10:51]try to stay as long as I can though like

[10:53]just through Autumn I have to go

[10:56]somewhere you know once the weather

[10:58]starts getting really

[11:00]cold

[11:02]but I absolutely love the state it's why

[11:05]I've been here for so long like I'm not

[11:07]from here I moved here 20 years ago and

[11:10]just immediately fell in love with the

[11:11]nature

[11:13]here and you know so I just I guess I'm

[11:16]a little hesitant to want to leave it

[11:18]cuz I absolutely I genuinely love this

[11:21]place so but you know definitely going

[11:25]to have to leave for winter so figure

[11:27]out what I'm doing I guess maybe I

[11:30]probably will just go to Nevada and do

[11:31]some

[11:32]stargazing even

[11:35]though my thinking on that has

[11:38]evolved um it would still be a fun exper

[11:42]experience

[11:44]so you know I'm going to keep thinking

[11:47]about it

[11:54][Music]

[11:59]oh

[12:01][Music]

[12:21][Music]

[12:33][Music]

[12:37]there's a traffic jam in the space

[12:41]Lanes what I love about this is I know

[12:44]that some things will stick for me and

[12:45]some won't and some will get refined and

[12:49]I'll end up somewhere else when it's all

[12:51]said and done I'll have this new

[12:53]lexicon that is uniquely

[12:56]mine that lets me engage AG in the

[13:01]world and of

[13:05]fun inspiring creative way like I just

[13:09]think there's so much magic in that I

[13:12]there's just

[13:13]something there's just something very

[13:15]cool about it it appeals to me because I

[13:18]have a system thinking brain and I'm

[13:21]developing an elaborate fictional system

[13:24]for existing systems like there's just

[13:27]there's complexity and depth in that

[13:29]that it gauges my brain at a very deep

[13:31]level I I find it absolutely

[13:34]fascinating I think I want my sunglasses

[13:37]today this world has a very bright sun

[13:41]look at that we're going to have a

[13:42]spectacular time here today we have

[13:45]entered a forest full of

[13:49]fog let's do our reconnaissance of this

[13:51]foreign

[13:55]place so I'm thinking sweatpants it's

[13:58]too hot for pants right

[14:01]now but I don't like

[14:04]mosquitoes we're going to call those

[14:06]plasma vultures that just resonates

[14:08]better with me plasma

[14:13]vultures um but if pants aren't

[14:16]appropriate I don't see how sweatpants

[14:18]are going to discuss that with AI and

[14:21]just I'm going to come up with

[14:22]something there is something you can

[14:25]spray on clothes that does repel

[14:28]mosquitoes really well

[14:30]don't remember what it's

[14:32]called

[14:35]um and it lasts for

[14:38]like can't remember if it said four or

[14:41]five uses like you keep wearing the

[14:43]clothes or washes I think it's washes so

[14:46]you you you spray it and then even after

[14:48]you wash it it's still on

[14:51]there so if I

[14:53]get a couple hiking

[14:57]outfits and do that

[15:00]not that would surely

[15:03]help that first Hill always gets my

[15:06]breathing

[15:07]going and it stabilizes

[15:11]and um eventually I don't think that'll

[15:13]even be a

[15:15]problem I'm definitely improving my

[15:18]physical

[15:20]health this is not a difficult

[15:24]Trail um it's it's almost a nine

[15:29]so hopefully others have been on the

[15:32]trail I don't have to deal with spider

[15:35]wobs that's one of

[15:38]the unpleasant aspects of being out in

[15:43]nature you get used to it

[15:46]but doesn't make it any more

[15:49]enjoyable the thing about this cognitive

[15:52]reframing and

[15:54]narrative process is I don't have to

[15:57]abandon the ones I've already come up

[15:58]with like that's the save point I still

[16:01]have my gaming

[16:03]references I think that was partly what

[16:06]sparked the idea like made it resonate

[16:09]with me when when a a I was like why

[16:12]don't you name why don't you think of

[16:14]your RV of the Starship I started

[16:17]telling it about what I do on my hiking

[16:20]adventures and it just spiral from

[16:24]there

[16:27]so found signs of indigenous

[16:33]life little baby

[16:35]frog little baby amphibious

[16:38]thing this can be used as a motivational

[16:41]tool I had to explain to AI that I don't

[16:45]need motivation to go hiking I'm like

[16:47]how is this going to be helpful for me

[16:49]cuz um I don't struggle with this

[16:52]stuff but the idea still appealed to

[16:56]me I don't know just want to explore it

[17:00]oh there is definitely

[17:03]a mycelial network of the arachnet out

[17:08]here I have to look closely there it

[17:13]is that stuff hadn't been stuck to it I

[17:16]would not have seen it

[17:20]goodbye oh another

[17:22]one all right I'm the first one out here

[17:25]that confirms it as far as I'm

[17:27]concerned scanning for life

[17:34]forms something's been

[17:39]detected an anomalous

[17:43]reading these little guys are everywhere

[17:46]they're very

[17:49]cute where'd he go there he is

[17:59]I think this is a concept you would use

[18:00]fluidly like you would take what works

[18:03]for you and leave the rest

[18:06]and CU it would be very hard to

[18:09]completely adapt a whole

[18:12]world whole world building structure

[18:16]into our normal lives

[18:19]but I find the idea fascinating I don't

[18:22]know that I could do it it's one of the

[18:24]reasons why it appeals to me because

[18:29]it does force you to be creative

[18:32]and you know if you exercise those

[18:35]muscles you don't know where that will

[18:36]take

[18:38]you but I can see

[18:41]how it becomes more useful when I'm

[18:43]thinking like okay got to get on the

[18:45]roof let's just think of this as an Eva

[18:49]we're doing a space

[18:51]walk and just frame it that way and kind

[18:57]of put a little bit of distance between

[19:00]my fear of heights and the task that I

[19:03]have to accomplish I mean I kind of did

[19:05]some of

[19:06]this intuitively a long time ago the way

[19:10]that I just kind of gamify hiking just

[19:12]just for the fun aspect you know when

[19:15]you transition

[19:17]from um like a field into a tree canopy

[19:21]that's like a loading scree a transition

[19:23]the loading

[19:24]screen High your transitioning zones

[19:29]or if you need to to rest it's a place

[19:31]to save your game you know I just like

[19:34]the idea of it it's there's something

[19:38]intrinsically enjoyable about it this

[19:42]Trail really doesn't challenge me

[19:44]though it's good to come here it's 3 and

[19:47]A4 miles so it's some daily exercise but

[19:52]this place is not challenging me and I

[19:55]need to be challenged so

[19:58]it's probably time for me to find

[20:00]another place while I'm

[20:01]here maybe get more

[20:04]proactive and make sure there's no

[20:07]spider here

[20:08]know

[20:11]um you know start like I know where my

[20:14]next site is going to be I might as well

[20:15]start looking

[20:17]now

[20:19]for where I'll stay oh this is zoomed in

[20:22]that's the

[20:24]problem

[20:26]um like why can't you see the lake

[20:30]it's a nice peaceful Lake

[20:35]still there's a little bit of some

[20:38]ripples over

[20:40]there um

[20:43]droplets I don't feel any

[20:46]rain hello

[20:50]birdie yeah it's

[20:53]nice it's not Lake Cumberland but it's

[20:57]nice that would be very that's the kind

[20:59]of place I imagine that that Ender went

[21:01]to when he came down from the

[21:04]ship and because he was just like I'm

[21:06]done you adults have just just done me

[21:09]in and he goes oh that's a spider web

[21:14]and he goes and he builds himself a raft

[21:18]and he just

[21:20]spends um I think months just chilling

[21:23]on this raft cuz he's just done and I

[21:26]imagine that's the kind of lake he was

[21:28]on

[21:31]the spider webs are particularly nasty

[21:34]today I never like being the first one

[21:36]on a

[21:43]trail what do we label this

[21:49]thing guess it's kind of like a

[21:55]phaser personal protective

[22:18]device yeah I can see a big one from

[22:21]here I can get around that one but damn

[22:25]that thing is

[22:27]big you know how to get yourself some

[22:30]food don't

[22:32]you all

[22:35]right wonder how much energy expends to

[22:38]do

[22:42]that if it were easy they'd all do

[22:57]it I don't know want to carry this thing

[23:00]around I just tolerate

[23:03]them it's usually what I

[23:06]do

[23:09]well it's what it

[23:12]is shower

[23:14]afterwards this is another reason I like

[23:16]Autumn

[23:17]because you don't have to deal with the

[23:19]mosquitoes and the insects as

[23:23]much which is more

[23:26]pleasant Summer's nice cuz everything's

[23:28]still live and vibrant but Autumn has

[23:32]its own appeal to me I've always loved

[23:34]Autumn you know I have over 300 videos

[23:38]in five

[23:39]months I'm not even sure make be 350

[23:42]quite a

[23:44]lot and they're all unique you

[23:47]know they've all got unique insights and

[23:50]thoughts in

[23:53]them different things that I've gone

[23:57]through just

[23:58]there's an arc to it and I don't know

[24:02]that I really have anything else to

[24:03]share with you

[24:05]guys I feel

[24:07]like I've shared all the things that I

[24:09]would want to have

[24:12]shared

[24:14]and so I'm guess I'm questioning where I

[24:16]go from

[24:18]here yeah this is the worst time to be

[24:21]out here I was counting on that jogger

[24:23]to have already been out here and dealt

[24:24]with all the spider webs but no no

[24:28]it's just me today I am looking forward

[24:31]to moving sites and

[24:33]locations I think that there

[24:37]is um just have a natural you know

[24:42]appeal

[24:44]to

[24:48]exploring sess just feels like

[24:50]stagnation to me I truly don't like

[24:53]it and it's challenging you know my

[24:56]lifestyle is challenging

[24:59]but the benefits of my lifestyle

[25:02]are probably

[25:06]incalculable

[25:07]so find a way to reframe

[25:10]it call your RV a Starship if you have

[25:13]to whatever it

[25:16]takes just you

[25:18]know figure

[25:20]out how your mind works

[25:24]and take full advantage of it

[25:28]definitely be open to new

[25:30]ideas explore them see where they take

[25:33]you there's value in

[25:36]that hope you guys have a good

[25:39]Tuesday we've discovered a duck species

[25:42]on this

Summary

The speaker begins an experimental narrative reframing process, referring to their RV as a starship and adopting science fiction terminology for daily activities. They discuss this as a creative cognitive exercise to make routine tasks more engaging and stretch their creative abilities.

**Morning routine and departure**: The speaker starts with a playful "starship" morning routine, noting their neighbors have left unexpectedly. They mention an injured wrist from sleeping and express concern about a stray kitten they saw.

**Narrative experiment discussion**: They explain this is a new approach they're testing - using creative reframing to engage with the world differently. They see it as potentially strengthening cognitive abilities and adding fun to daily life, comparing it to childhood play that adults typically abandon.

**Practical concerns**: The speaker addresses mosquito bite issues, considers getting dedicated hiking clothes, and celebrates finally getting RV humidity below 50%. They discuss upcoming dental appointments and plans to return to Baron River Lake.

**Hiking expedition**: Using their new narrative framework, they drive to the 47 Bridges trail location, referring to their vehicle as "shuttlecraft Heatwave." During the hike, they continue the experiment, calling mosquitoes "plasma vultures" and spider webs part of an "arachnet."

**Reflection on process**: Throughout the hike, they analyze how this reframing might work practically - potentially helping with tasks like roof work by creating psychological distance from fear of heights. They note they've already been gamifying hiking naturally.

**Content creation reflection**: The speaker mentions having created over 300 videos in five months and questions where to go next with their content, feeling they've shared what they wanted to share. They express anticipation about moving to new locations and emphasize the benefits of their challenging lifestyle.
