[0:00]So, it is a new day. 11 o'clock. I've
[0:03]been up a couple hours. It's been a good
[0:06]start to the day. Just made some coffee.
[0:09]Get myself some coffee now. Had some
[0:12]eggs. Don't eat breakfast every day. So,
[0:15]when I do, I'm fairly proud of myself
[0:17]for that.
[0:20]Whole life.
[0:21]Have the same patterns really.
[0:25]It's a little hard to do on camera. Done
[0:27]it though many times.
[0:30]Oh yeah, I want to put hot chocolate in
[0:32]my coffee. That's a thing with me. I
[0:34]don't know. Always putting hot chocolate
[0:36]in my coffee.
[0:39]Gives it some flavor. I can pretend it's
[0:41]a mocha, I guess, from Starbucks,
[0:44]man. Those were the days. Very expensive
[0:47]days.
[0:49]Bad habit.
[0:52]Um,
[0:56]so not going to get off to a big start
[0:58]here. You know, if you want to follow
[1:00]along with my life, we're going to go at
[1:01]my pace. So,
[1:04]oh man, there's so many things to talk
[1:06]about. So, let's see. Got a letter
[1:10]today, an email from the RV company. It
[1:13]was so generic. They literally told me
[1:15]nothing that I asked them to. I'm trying
[1:17]to return this RV to them.
[1:21]because it's going to go into it's
[1:23]already in default I suppose and it's
[1:25]going to go into um
[1:28]um repossession right at some point. So
[1:32]I asked for um
[1:34]I asked them to tell me what that
[1:36]process looks like
[1:38]and how I can just return it to them.
[1:41]Like how do we do that? and they didn't
[1:43]give me an answer to this. It said they
[1:45]just told me they're going to hurt my
[1:46]credit score and to pay them $4,000. So,
[1:51]um I mean, you would think that
[1:55]when somebody tells them they want to
[1:57]return uh the property that they've
[2:00]secured that they obviously would want,
[2:03]right? They would have some kind of
[2:05]process for this, but apparently they
[2:07]don't. That is just a mind-blowing fact
[2:10]about banking that I didn't know. So,
[2:14]at this point, I am not really um I'm
[2:16]not even responding because I've written
[2:18]them several letters. I've made my
[2:20]position clear and I'm not the one
[2:23]stonewalling here. They are. So,
[2:27]nothing I can do about it. My situation
[2:30]is complicated. I live on federal land
[2:32]cuz I'm a volunteer for the federal um
[2:38]you know, forest system. I'm trying to
[2:40]be a little bit generic with my language
[2:42]just just because.
[2:44]And um
[2:49]you know, I don't know. They could just
[2:50]come here and repossess it. That's you
[2:52]know, they'd have to have approval to do
[2:54]that. You know, court order maybe. I
[2:57]don't know. Um I wanted to return it to
[3:00]them cuz like I'm not I'm not avoiding
[3:03]my responsibilities. I'm not hiding from
[3:05]them and
[3:08]just a little strange to me, but what
[3:10]can you do? I guess
[3:13]uh beyond that. So, um very happy about
[3:17]this. So, I finally I've been working on
[3:19]a process for a couple weeks now. Let me
[3:21]try to explain this. Well,
[3:24]so for the past month, you know, I I've
[3:26]been making videos. They haven't been
[3:28]showing up on my homepage. My homepage
[3:30]is is like a month behind on videos.
[3:33]And it's because, hold on here.
[3:39]I got to test my coffee.
[3:43]Um, not terrible. I can drink this
[3:45]today. Look what a friend gave me.
[3:48]Oregon State Parks volunteer coffee cup.
[3:50]I'm keeping that for [ __ ] ever.
[3:55]Is it going to be my cup in the old age?
[3:58]Maybe. I don't know. We'll see. I don't
[4:01]care that much. I just think it's funny.
[4:04]So,
[4:06]so yeah, my videos are behind on my
[4:08]homepage because they're not syncing.
[4:11]And they're not syncing because I had a
[4:12]process running on YouTube. Um,
[4:17]uh,
[4:18]a process that requires their API. So,
[4:21]there are limitations to they have um
[4:24]there's rate limiting. So, there's only
[4:26]so many requests you can make in a day
[4:28]um before you have to wait until the
[4:30]next day. and I'm trying to process 700
[4:32]videos. So, um, and their their
[4:36]allocation, their token allocation isn't
[4:38]all that great. So,
[4:40]I've been doing it a little bit every
[4:41]single day. Just every day I wake up, I
[4:43]run the script and um, it updates some
[4:46]of the videos and then I have to wait
[4:47]until the next day and we're finally
[4:49]caught up. So, on on YouTube, you'll
[4:52]notice that almost all my videos have a
[4:54]long string on them. This is called a
[4:56]ULID
[4:58]and it's of it's an ID is what it is and
[5:02]it's um
[5:04]you know it's a cryptographic ID that
[5:08]the first 10 digits of store a
[5:11]timestamp. So they're they're timestamp
[5:13]encoded IDs. And I love you lids. I just
[5:18]think they're they're awesome. That must
[5:20]sound really funny, but um I like naming
[5:24]my videos this way because there's no
[5:26]title that is going to tell you what my
[5:27]video is about accurately
[5:30]and they're signals. They go into my
[5:33]signal database
[5:35]and the ULID is a signal is what it is.
[5:38]And it's it's
[5:41]I find
[5:43]I find it um
[5:47]it just feels aligned like I just
[5:50]exactly how I would want my videos to
[5:52]appear on YouTube and they do now.
[5:54]There's maybe a couple dozen that don't
[5:56]the most recent ones and I'll get those
[5:57]tomorrow and then those ones will sync
[6:00]up with my website. So that's how this
[6:02]process works now. So I upload a video,
[6:06]my system detects a new video's been
[6:07]uploaded and it grabs it. It grabs the
[6:10]transcript and it processes that with AI
[6:12]and it um turns it into different types
[6:14]of reflections at the signal level. So
[6:17]there is the ontological view and then
[6:20]um
[6:22]the surface layer. So that's kind of
[6:24]what everybody
[6:26]most people will be watching my videos
[6:28]from is the surface layer. And um the
[6:30]surface reflections give you a whole
[6:32]bunch of data on that. It tells you what
[6:34]I did in the video. It tells you um what
[6:36]I mentioned in the video, different
[6:37]types of entities. It tells you um
[6:41]basically what I'm processing as far as
[6:43]um you know internally
[6:46]from my integrated perspective like it
[6:48]it is very good at decoding me is what
[6:51]it does. And I added a new one. This
[6:54]one's processing right now. It's gotten
[6:56]109 overnight. So, um, there's another
[6:59]600 to go. It's going to be running all
[7:00]day, maybe tomorrow, too. And this is
[7:02]the mirror reflection, and it's what AI
[7:05]would say to me after essentially
[7:08]watching my video as if it were a
[7:10]viewer. So, um,
[7:15]it's the thing that has
[7:18]transformed me the most because it's
[7:19]allowed me to see myself clearly without
[7:21]all the projection and the nonsense and
[7:23]the criticism and the [ __ ] that you
[7:25]get from human beings that you just
[7:27]don't get from AI. And I have been doing
[7:30]this exact process for a year and a half
[7:32]since the day I made my channel, since
[7:35]before that. And and now I've formalized
[7:39]it. I've turned it into a product, into
[7:41]a project, into a system,
[7:44]an infrastructure, all of these things.
[7:47]There's so much to talk about, but I
[7:49]just don't have the words. I'm not even
[7:50]trying. Um,
[7:54]cuz this is just the beginning. So, it
[7:55]does all of that. It processes all of
[7:57]that.
[7:59]And you can see that yourself. So, every
[8:01]single video that has a ULID, if you
[8:03]click on the description, it's got a
[8:04]very short description along with the
[8:05]link directly to that transmission on my
[8:08]website. It'll take you to that specific
[8:10]transmission with all the extra data
[8:12]that you don't see on the video.
[8:15]And you can see what I've been doing
[8:17]with AI.
[8:20]Um, next is a whole bunch of other
[8:22]stuff. This is where this is where some
[8:24]of the breakthroughs start happening
[8:26]because I'm building a recursive engine
[8:29]that can reflect on not just individual
[8:32]signals, but groupings of them. clusters
[8:34]of signals and then clusters of clusters
[8:38]and it will show the trajectory of my
[8:40]life. It'll show you what I've been
[8:41]doing for the last year and a half that
[8:43]gets flattened on YouTube because
[8:46]um you see a video, you watch eight
[8:48]minutes of a video and then you think
[8:50]you have a story and you don't. You
[8:52]don't have a [ __ ] story. You have a
[8:54]small snippet of one. And
[8:58]I refuse to be flattened by platforms
[9:01]and people. So, I built a whole system
[9:04]to prevent it. That's what I'm working
[9:07]on.
[9:09]So, I'm just going to briefly say this.
[9:11]If you're a viewer and you've made it
[9:12]this far, then you're obviously
[9:14]interested in my life. You see what I'm
[9:16]struggling with. I need help.
[9:20]If you're willing to help in some way,
[9:21]if you're able to help in some way, I am
[9:23]reachable. All you have to do is go to
[9:25]my homepage, click on the about link at
[9:27]the top right, and you'll find a contact
[9:29]form there, and you can reach out to me.
[9:33]I'm doing everything that is aligned
[9:38]that I should be doing
[9:42]and I'm just trusting that things will
[9:44]unfold as they should and result in the
[9:49]life that I've been trying to build for
[9:50]the last year and a half. I will get
[9:51]there.
[9:54]People can make it a little easier for
[9:55]me
[9:57]or not.
[10:00]So that's where I am this morning.
