[0:00]So, it's pretty late. It's after
[0:02]midnight.
[0:03]Yeah, it's just after midnight.
[0:06]Just been sitting here kind of
[0:08]reorganizing my space, my living area,
[0:11]which is also my sleeping area, my bed.
[0:13]This is the only real space I have to
[0:14]sit on in here.
[0:17]I'll show you. So, this is my living
[0:19]area. I had a desk here I had made, but
[0:22]I disassembled that and I put those
[0:24]ottomans back. I just got to organize
[0:26]this space. So, I spend most of my time
[0:28]over here in my my bedroom area.
[0:33]I wanted to move my laptop to the other
[0:35]side cuz I had it over there against the
[0:37]window. So, I had to move all the cables
[0:40]and all the stuff, you know, all my I've
[0:42]got a lot of definitely didn't give up
[0:46]technology when I moved into this RV,
[0:50]but I like it cuz this is this
[0:53]a true expression of me. It just that
[0:57]just screams me.
[1:00]And I was thinking when I was a kid, I
[1:02]used to always move my room around. Like
[1:06]I always had to move the furniture
[1:08]around. Probably every month I did this
[1:11]all the time. And that pattern that
[1:15]pattern has not changed my entire life.
[1:17]I am practically a half a century old
[1:19]now. And I'm still doing exactly that. I
[1:22]have never stopped doing that.
[1:26]Uh even as a kid, my room was always
[1:28]messy. You know, this RV has got stuff
[1:30]everywhere. I'm constantly trying to get
[1:33]organized. like this is this there's
[1:35]this this
[1:37]underlying
[1:40]impulse that I have where I am always
[1:43]trying to to iterate and create
[1:48]create
[1:51]um
[1:53]alignment
[1:55]in my life both internal and external
[1:57]and it is just something that I've done
[2:00]all of my
[2:04]I just I find that interesting cuz I
[2:06]wonder how many patterns from our
[2:07]childhood we carry into adulthood.
[2:11]So that's something to think about.
[2:15]But I wanted to get on this camera for a
[2:16]different reason. That was just kind of
[2:18]an introduction there.
[2:25]So I wanted to say
[2:28]that all of my life people have tried to
[2:31]overwrite my reality.
[2:33]Even as a kid,
[2:36]people would tell me that I was
[2:38]overthinking things.
[2:40]Um people go through life
[2:45]and it's really obvious to me now
[2:46]because of the experience I've had since
[2:49]I got to Oregon.
[2:54]People don't live in base reality. I
[2:56]mean, they probably think they do, but
[2:57]they don't. They create narratives
[3:00]around everything and they're often
[3:02]false. They're not. It's just not It's
[3:05]not It's not base reality.
[3:07]Me, I have always lived in base reality.
[3:11]And whenever somebody tries to overwrite
[3:13]my reality, tries to
[3:16]make me believe something that isn't
[3:18]true or tries to tell me how to live my
[3:22]life, you know, how they would live it
[3:26]rather than looking at it from my
[3:27]perspective.
[3:30]How I feel that sematically.
[3:34]I feel it in my body
[3:37]all of my life from my parents to
[3:42]you know, friends, just everybody.
[3:46]I call it distortion because I feel it.
[3:49]I feel I feel
[3:53]the narrative lie that they're
[3:57]trying to convince me is the truth. And
[4:00]I just I reject it. I don't like it.
[4:02]That's why I turn comments off on my
[4:04]videos
[4:05]because
[4:09]somehow I've always managed manage to do
[4:13]that all of my life. I think it matters
[4:15]because
[4:17]I'm following a signal,
[4:20]a frequency that most people don't even
[4:23]know exists anymore.
[4:27]And there's nothing I can say to change
[4:29]that. there's nothing I can say to
[4:31]persuade someone. Um,
[4:36]and I don't try because because I I see
[4:39]the futility of of of trying.
[4:45]And so I've always had
[4:48]I've always had
[4:51]trust in myself like my own knowing.
[4:57]I don't seek external validation or
[4:59]confirmation or anything from others
[5:02]because I've learned to trust myself.
[5:05]And I think that's something most people
[5:06]didn't learn to do.
[5:09]They look for reassurance
[5:12]from others.
[5:15]They they just they look at the world
[5:17]very differently than I do.
[5:20]Um I don't have the best the best words
[5:23]for what I'm trying to express here.
[5:25]It's it's a hard topic for me to talk
[5:27]about,
[5:30]but it matters because
[5:36]I see all the ways that
[5:43]we're creating
[5:46]a little more careful of my words now.
[5:48]Not trying to be, but I just feel like
[5:50]it's very important to be clear.
[5:58]I see how we're failing as a
[6:01]civilization, as a species, as human
[6:03]beings.
[6:09]And there's going to come a point where
[6:12]people are again more open and receptive
[6:15]to
[6:21]different points of view where they're
[6:23]just more open. And I think then maybe
[6:27]maybe I have something to teach others,
[6:30]but I don't think it's
[6:33]possible with the way things are right
[6:36]now. So I don't I don't try.
[6:39]I made choices to live a different
[6:42]lifestyle that aligns me with how I see
[6:52]I guess I still don't have all the words
[6:54]for this. I'm I'm sorry. I actually
[6:56]wanted this to be
[6:59]a little bit differently. But
[7:02]the point is I know what I know what I'm
[7:05]doing.
[7:08]I know that from the outside others
[7:11]cannot see it.
[7:17]But there's nothing I can do or say
[7:18]that's going to change that. So I won't
[7:20]even try.
[7:23]What I will say is those who are paying
[7:26]attention to me, who are watching my
[7:29]videos, who are going to my websites,
[7:32]we're trying to learn something,
[7:34]anything from me.
[7:44]I need you to show up.
[7:49]Doesn't have to look like much. could
[7:51]look like a contribution on my homepage
[7:56]because what I'm building we don't have
[7:58]economic models for yet.
[8:02]We don't live in a world that can
[8:05]support someone like me and the current
[8:08]configuration that we have created
[8:10]things.
[8:12]Somehow I've always found a way to
[8:14]survive,
[8:16]to even thrive.
[8:21]But I see the distortion that comes with
[8:23]that. I see the sacrifices I made. And
[8:27]some of them I'm just not willing to
[8:29]make anymore. And so I have put myself
[8:31]into a state of procarity
[8:34]that from the outside you cannot
[8:36]possibly understand.
[8:42]It doesn't mean I made the wrong choice.
[8:45]Any wrong choices.
[8:49]It means that I'm early.
[8:57]In the past, it was very easy for me to
[8:59]find freelance work and it will be
[9:01]again, I think.
[9:05]But it has felt more difficult this
[9:08]time. And it's not because of anything
[9:10]I've done. It's just the state of the
[9:12]world right now
[9:16]presents new challenges and I'm working
[9:18]through them like I have all of my life.
[9:21]That's one of the things that people
[9:23]could learn from me is an orientation
[9:31]that makes you far more resilient
[9:37]than just about everybody else.
[9:43]I'm not panicking.
[9:49]I'm just showing up in the field.
[9:52]I'm wondering
[9:54]if anyone else is going to show up
[9:56]there, too.
