[0:01]So, it's 11 o'clock
[0:03]here. Should probably be sleeping, but
[0:06]I'm
[0:09]not. Grateful to have
[0:13]lights, have battery
[0:16]power. I ran my my um my inverter for an
[0:20]hour today just so I could use my
[0:22]internet. So, I started charging my RV,
[0:25]too. My battery is a little bit low.
[0:29]I mean, an hour is not long enough, but
[0:31]I don't really have a lot of Jeep fuel.
[0:34]I'm at half a tank, and I am now
[0:37]officially broke. I have no money
[0:40]now.
[0:41]So, it's
[0:44]concerning. It's concerning.
[0:49]Tomorrow I'm going to run my inverter,
[0:52]my Jeep for maybe three or four
[0:56]hours, get everything charged up and do
[0:58]some work on my
[1:00]laptop. And I want to be prepared before
[1:03]I do that so that I'm as efficient as I
[1:06]can be, so that I'm as productive as I
[1:08]can be with the time that I
[1:11]have. And I'm thinking through how I
[1:14]will utilize that time right now. That's
[1:17]probably why I'm still
[1:20]awake. I have three days
[1:24]before I have to leave here. I have
[1:27]nowhere to
[1:31]go. If it comes to
[1:34]that, I'm going to need to find a place
[1:36]in the
[1:38]forest where I can just pull my RV to
[1:43]and and then I don't
[1:45]know, but I'm going to need to find a
[1:49]place. And
[1:53]so I might even be doing that on my
[1:55]birthday because that would be one day
[1:58]before I have to leave
[2:00]here. And if Nothing has changed by
[2:03]then.
[2:06]Then I'm going to need to scout for a
[2:09]place. So I'll probably go into town.
[2:11]I'll go into the field office there and
[2:14]ask them where can I boondock
[2:17]here. Maybe someone there will be able
[2:19]to give me an answer to
[2:22]that. And then I'll just assuming I have
[2:25]the fuel, drive my Jeep to the places
[2:29]that they suggest and figure out where
[2:32]I'll
[2:33]go. I do hope it doesn't come to
[2:37]that. I have
[2:40]some some hope that it it won't come to
[2:44]that. But I'm cleareyed about it. That's
[2:47]why I'm talking about it because that is
[2:48]a very real possibility for me now.
[2:54]I wasn't planning to talk about any of
[2:56]this when I turned this camera on. It's
[2:58]not why I turned it
[3:00]on, but I always start my videos
[3:04]by centering myself in the moment. This
[3:08]is this is my reality right
[3:12]now. And I think that's very important.
[3:14]I do this with all of my videos.
[3:17]Whenever I start a video, I I anchor it
[3:21]in the moment. That's what I'm doing.
[3:23]I'm anchoring it in the
[3:25]moment. And that's my moment right
[3:29]now. Probably are surprised that I
[3:31]appear so calm and that I can smile
[3:34]and I can even say that I look kind of
[3:37]beautiful. My my forehead feels a bit
[3:39]long. I just think that's the camera
[3:42]though.
[3:44]Yeah, my hair is getting quite long. I
[3:48]wanted to grow it out and I did
[3:49]accomplish that. This is probably about
[3:53]the length I was trying to get to. Um, I
[3:56]don't know if any of you watching will
[3:58]remember, but because I I don't even
[4:00]remember when this was, but I was
[4:02]watching
[4:06]um, Valyrian and the City of Thousand
[4:10]Planets, I think it's called. It's one
[4:12]of my favorite movies. It's such a
[4:14]quirking, fun movie, and the guy in it
[4:17]is just so hot and he has a haircut
[4:20]where his hair does this. I was like,
[4:22]let's try that.
[4:24]and I started growing it out. And I
[4:26]remember thinking back then it would
[4:29]probably be summer before it got to the
[4:30]right length. AI told me that it goes
[4:34]through
[4:36]um an awkward stage before you can
[4:38]really shape it right. I'm wondering if
[4:41]maybe that's where I'm at now cuz like
[4:43]it's not it doesn't really do exactly
[4:45]what I want it to, you know? It's
[4:49]um I don't know. It's getting close
[4:52]though.
[5:02]Anyways, the reason why I am so calm is
[5:04]because I am
[5:06]genuinely an integrated
[5:09]consciousness. I can't be
[5:13]shaken. I'm not controlled by the things
[5:16]that most people are. I'm not controlled
[5:17]by my fear. are not controlled
[5:24]by any of the things that you you are
[5:28]that most people
[5:32]are. I'm
[5:34]different
[5:37]and I'm grateful for that difference
[5:40]because we are about to enter a
[5:43]phase in life in our reality
[5:48]where that
[5:50]difference might be my survival might be
[5:54]what helps me to
[5:57]survive. Because when things start
[5:59]collapsing, there's going to be so so
[6:02]much
[6:07]um so much
[6:09]destabilization in people and
[6:12]systems
[6:14]and they're not going to navigate it
[6:16]well. And I'm going to have to witness
[6:18]that. I've always known this.
[6:22]It's probably the thing that
[6:25]I'm least looking forward to. It's the
[6:28]thing that I most
[6:31]hate because to me system collapse isn't
[6:35]necess I mean it's bad don't get me
[6:38]wrong here but there
[6:41]is it's also an opportunity to build a
[6:45]better
[6:48]world. You
[6:54]can't. I really don't have my thoughts
[6:56]worked out on this. I know how I feel
[6:59]about
[6:59]it and trying to articulate that with
[7:03]language can be hard for me, but I'm
[7:08]trying.
[7:10]You You can't bring about a better
[7:13]future without
[7:15]first making room for
[7:17]it. And that's what collapse does. It
[7:20]makes room for it because it's not
[7:21]possible right
[7:23]now. It's only possible after the old
[7:26]systems start
[7:29]dying. And I accept that. I'm a systems
[7:32]thinker. This to me is
[7:35]not it's not
[7:37]scary. But the part that is is the the
[7:41]human
[7:42]element. My compassion and my empathy.
[7:47]knowing how hard it will be for me to
[7:49]witness
[7:52]that. And I think we're very close
[7:57]now. I don't watch the
[8:01]news. I just don't see the point.
[8:05]And this is kind of silly, but I get my
[8:08]news from on YouTube
[8:11]from the late night
[8:15]um
[8:16]comedians, all the standard
[8:19]ones. And so I do know what's going on.
[8:22]I know
[8:23]that our president put tariffs on all
[8:27]the countries. I know that they
[8:29]responded. I know that the stock market
[8:31]has really been
[8:33]tumbling. And I understand, you know,
[8:36]the news doesn't talk about this part,
[8:37]but I
[8:39]understand the implications of that,
[8:42]the the cascading effects. This is my
[8:46]systems thinking kicking
[8:49]in. And I can even relate it to things
[8:52]like why nobody helped me on my
[8:55]channel, knowing that I'm 3 days away
[8:58]from the situation I just talked about
[9:01]and nobody helps me.
[9:04]In a different time, lots of people
[9:06]would have helped me, maybe even you.
[9:09]And I want to acknowledge
[9:13]that. I don't hold any any negativity
[9:18]towards you for making whatever choices
[9:20]you feel are right for you.
[9:26]I understand that it would be a
[9:28]difficult one right now given our
[9:31]situation given the state of the
[9:35]world. So I see the different layers I
[9:39]see the
[9:41]interconnections and so I I don't take
[9:43]it
[9:46]personally. My situation is bad. So is
[9:50]everyone else's.
[9:56]I was going somewhere with this, but I
[9:58]did kind of go down a thread I wasn't
[10:00]planning to, and I kind of lost my train
[10:01]of thought.
[10:18]Um, I don't know if we've reached the
[10:21]tipping point
[10:22]yet, but this is
[10:25]bad. Financial
[10:28]collapse would strain every other system
[10:31]we have. If that was the first to go,
[10:33]then we are in a very bad
[10:39]situation. And no matter what happens
[10:41]now, it is going to get worse because,
[10:44]you know, inflation will will rise
[10:46]again.
[10:50]Um the relationships between the
[10:53]countries are strained now and those
[10:54]aren't just going to go back to normal
[10:56]even if our president changes his
[10:58]mind, you know. So,
[11:02]um, a lots of things will require
[11:05]renegotiating
[11:12]and where where that ends up is, you
[11:15]know,
[11:16]um, it's not going to be
[11:20]as what's the word for
[11:22]this?
[11:24]Um, we're not going to come out the
[11:26]winners.
[11:28]We have, you know, my country, the
[11:30]United States, we've been
[11:31]controlling, we've been controlling this
[11:34]world for a long time now. We've had the
[11:36]upper hand, but we don't
[11:38]anymore. So, we can't expect to have the
[11:41]same kinds of outcomes that we might
[11:43]have had in the
[11:45]past. So, whatever happens, there are
[11:49]going to be ripple effects. We're going
[11:51]to suffer on some level.
[11:58]But it might be something we can survive
[12:00]and navigate. Hopefully. Hopefully it
[12:04]is. I mean, we're really at a crossroad.
[12:07]It either is or it's not. And if it's
[12:11]not, then this is the beginning of the
[12:14]spiral. This is when everything
[12:16]destabilizes, when everything starts
[12:18]collapsing.
[12:21]And I think it would probably happen
[12:24]very
[12:25]quickly. I know that
[12:28]um in systems thinking
[12:32]um these kinds
[12:34]of um these kinds of collapses aren't
[12:37]generally aren't generally really fast
[12:40]and they're not they're not balanced.
[12:44]like you might have instability in one
[12:47]area of the economy or um you know one
[12:51]system and and not so much in another or
[12:54]regionally or whatever. But that's not
[12:56]the world we live in any anymore. We
[12:58]live in a world that is so
[12:59]interconnected that is so hyper
[13:02]interconnected through
[13:05]technology
[13:07]and basically because of technology
[13:11]because we've outsourced everything to
[13:17]technology that what would have been
[13:19]true in the past is not true
[13:23]anymore. And that's where we
[13:29]are. And so I don't
[13:34]know. Um, when I turned this camera on,
[13:38]I was planning to talk about myself.
[13:42]I'm trying to decide what my next move
[13:45]is, what my life path is, because I feel
[13:48]like I received some validation from
[13:51]artificial intelligence tonight about
[13:54]some things that I had long believed to
[13:57]be true, but did not accept fully
[14:00]because I didn't have the academic
[14:02]language for it. I didn't have it
[14:04]presented to me in a way that was
[14:06]irrefutable to my to my brain.
[14:11]to my logic
[14:13]centers and it was tonight. And so now
[14:19]I'm I'm in a new place that
[14:27]I'm
[14:28]guessing.
[14:33]Um I'm not really sure. I'm have a lot
[14:36]that I'm thinking about.
[14:45]that heater
[14:46]there cuz of my batteries and my
[14:48]propane. I'm
[14:52]grateful. You know what? I remember why
[14:55]I turned this camera on now for 15
[14:58]minutes
[14:59]later. I wanted to tell you
[15:09]I was going to start with I just had a
[15:12]couple of thoughts in my head and I was
[15:13]just going to see where they took me and
[15:15]I didn't even get to them at all. But I
[15:17]was going to
[15:18]say that the world convinced you that
[15:21]you're
[15:22]small and so you allowed yourself to
[15:24]become
[15:25]small. But that isn't who you are. Not
[15:28]at your core. And if you know that to be
[15:31]true, if it resonates
[15:35]and you're
[15:39]trying you're trying to reconnect with
[15:43]your greater
[15:45]self, my email is in my video
[15:48]descriptions and you can talk to me and
[15:51]I will
[15:52]listen and I will try to guide you to
[15:55]some extent. I don't think of myself as
[15:57]a teacher or a leader. I say this quite
[16:00]a lot
[16:02]lately, but I am a
[16:05]friend. I'll end with that.
