[0:00]It's beautiful day today. Let me show

[0:02]you the ocean.

[0:26]Just finished my rounds a little while

[0:27]ago.

[0:29]decided to just go for a walk to the to

[0:32]the beach, to the ocean. And there's a

[0:34]little tiny sandal here. That is

[0:36]adorable.

[0:38]I used to have sandals like that.

[0:42]Somebody lost their sandal. That sucks.

[0:49]So, I have a lot to talk about today.

[0:52]Be patient with me, please.

[0:59]Guess we'll talk walk towards the river

[1:01]first.

[1:04]Maybe I'll walk the other way towards

[1:05]the ATVs.

[1:11]Definitely very pretty out here. Very

[1:13]beautiful.

[1:17]Clouds just sitting up there

[1:21]for a blue horizon.

[1:25]Nice sun.

[1:29]ocean doing its thing.

[1:32]So magical to me.

[1:39]So as I was saying, I finished my rods

[1:42]for the day. For those of you who don't

[1:44]know, I know that I have uh some new

[1:46]subscribers who are probably interested

[1:49]in my autonomy project that I'm open

[1:52]sourcing. Probably don't know me. Um,

[1:55]probably don't know that I used to have

[1:56]a different YouTube channel for a couple

[1:59]of years. That's why I don't have many

[2:02]viewers cuz I started a new channel. I

[2:04]just didn't feel like my audience was

[2:06]aligned with me.

[2:08]It wasn't really their fault, I guess.

[2:10]Just

[2:12]just the way the algorithm works.

[2:16]So, I started a new channel.

[2:25]Just kind of seeing what's going on.

[2:27]Ramy,

[2:32]the waves are awesome today.

[2:41]So, I don't have a lot of viewers,

[2:46]which means very limited options for

[2:48]support.

[2:49]didn't get a lot of that before, but

[2:52]trying to build an aligned community

[2:54]this time. I don't expect everybody to

[2:57]understand me or my life choices,

[3:01]but if you feel me, if you want to be

[3:03]part of my journey, I do require you to

[3:06]show up.

[3:09]I think that is just the most basic

[3:12]part of any relationship.

[3:15]You can't just consume my life and watch

[3:17]me in passing and treat that as if it's

[3:20]okay.

[3:22]I think it's unethical.

[3:26]So,

[3:29]so I'm going to give you a little bit of

[3:30]an update here.

[3:33]Oh, it might get a little bit wet. Let

[3:34]me move out the way here. Oh [ __ ] Okay,

[3:37]we better go.

[3:41]I love tracing these waves when I'm not

[3:43]paying attention.

[3:45]Normally, I'd have my music going and

[3:47]I'd just be by myself and tracing the

[3:50]waves and just tracing the tide. It's

[3:52]the most

[3:56]I fell in love with the ocean when I

[3:58]started doing that.

[4:00]Before it, I just looked at it and I was

[4:02]like, what are people like so fascinated

[4:04]with? It's just water.

[4:06]When I started tracing the tides,

[4:12]seeing the patterns like in the water

[4:14]when the sun

[4:17]reflects off of it

[4:20]like right now

[4:25]it does something. I don't know. Love

[4:28]this thing.

[4:34]I'm not trying to stop here. I just um I

[4:37]don't really know

[4:39]what to say, I guess.

[4:43]So,

[4:46]let me see how to how to explain all of

[4:48]this.

[4:52]Two years ago, I made a choice to leave

[4:55]my house and leave everything behind.

[4:56]And that's exactly what I did.

[4:59]Had a very good job. I've been a

[5:00]programmer all my life. I started in the

[5:02]sixth grade freelancer all of my life.

[5:07]I reached the point where I was making

[5:09]$180,000 a year.

[5:12]But that life felt empty,

[5:17]misaligned. I was dying inside.

[5:21]So I did something about it. I made a

[5:22]choice.

[5:24]I moved into an RV. I adapted to that

[5:27]lifestyle. And then I moved across the

[5:29]country by myself.

[5:31]very proud of what I've done

[5:34]and I could never have imagined.

[5:39]This place

[5:43]I feel like it claimed me. I claimed it

[5:45]back. Feel like I belong here.

[5:50]And I had challenges here. I tried

[5:52]volunteering with the Oregon State Parks

[5:54]and they threw me out after after two

[5:56]months.

[5:58]Not because I did anything wrong, but

[6:00]because I saw

[6:02]I saw their dysfunction and I I set

[6:04]boundaries with people. I didn't let

[6:07]them I didn't let them abuse me.

[6:10]And that was apparently just completely

[6:12]unacceptable to them cuz then they

[6:14]really abused me for two more months.

[6:16]Then threw me out my last week.

[6:19]I documented the entire thing on my

[6:21]website.

[6:23]It is undeniable. Even the director had

[6:26]to respond to that.

[6:29]They're right now um

[6:32]violating Oregon law because I submitted

[6:35]a public records request

[6:37]and they haven't acknowledged it

[6:43]because I know what those documents

[6:45]would show.

[6:47]And that really messed me up because I

[6:49]was already struggling.

[6:52]I hadn't worked in a while and I'd been

[6:54]trying to figure out how to how to make

[6:57]um revenue while

[7:00]living in an RV and volunteering

[7:03]and they destabilized my life when they

[7:05]did that. I spent weeks off grid

[7:08]navigating absolute procarity trying to

[7:12]restabilize my life so I could keep

[7:14]building.

[7:16]I ended up volunteering for the Forest

[7:18]Service right next door to them.

[7:22]I didn't hide it. I told I told my

[7:25]supervisor, my my crew, all of them

[7:28]everything that had happened to me.

[7:31]Um so that so the state parks couldn't

[7:33]weaponize it against me.

[7:36]And I've been with them for over 6

[7:38]months. I volunteered on two different

[7:40]campgrounds. They promoted me to

[7:42]caretaker. It's a completely different

[7:44]kind of job.

[7:46]I drive one of their trucks. I go on a

[7:48]route of cleaning bathrooms and trash.

[7:51]and see areas, things like that.

[7:55]I enjoy it. It's It's aligned with the

[7:58]life I'm trying to build. I can't

[8:00]explain all of it in one video.

[8:06]And a lot of it I can't share publicly,

[8:08]which is why I created Sanctum. So, if

[8:10]you really want to get to know me, you

[8:12]have to subscribe to that on my website

[8:16]because a lot of the more personal

[8:18]content is behind that now.

[8:24]So I did I restabilized my life

[8:27]the best that I could

[8:30]and I kept building. So I built the

[8:32]archive, the Huntingman archive about

[8:34]Oregon State Parks, what they did to me.

[8:36]I built Autonomy,

[8:39]I built Sanctum, I built my website, all

[8:41]of it while navigating

[8:44]no job, no money. And I tried many

[8:47]different ways of just like freelancing

[8:49]or getting a job in town and nothing

[8:52]nothing worked. I couldn't find anything

[8:57]and I'm struggling.

[8:59]So I decided I would open source

[9:01]autonomy because that's a business

[9:02]strategy that lets people deploy it for

[9:05]free

[9:07]and

[9:09]some of those you know some of those

[9:11]people want to work with me. there will

[9:13]be some some money involved and um I

[9:16]don't need a lot because my life is is

[9:18]very very basic now

[9:22]minimal minimalist

[9:25]so I think that that is a way for me

[9:29]to line the last piece of my life

[9:31]economics

[9:33]but I need time my internet's about to

[9:36]get shut off the only internet I have is

[9:38]starling because it's the only thing

[9:39]that works here I live in a national

[9:41]forest

[9:42]Nothing else works.

[9:45]Uh my phone

[9:48]and I have to pay that soon. I have to

[9:49]pay that every 3 months as Mint Mobile.

[9:52]Uh I have to pay my server bills. I need

[9:54]funds to process stuff with artificial

[9:57]intelligence. You know, the AI cost with

[10:00]their APIs.

[10:04]I don't need a lot. My life is my life

[10:06]is structured to not need a lot because

[10:08]I think that we're entering a future

[10:10]where

[10:12]you need to navigate life differently.

[10:16]I could use some support.

[10:20]I will leave some links in the

[10:21]description. If you can help, please go

[10:22]to my contribute page or sign up for

[10:25]Sanctum

[10:28]or both cuz Sanctum that's not fun right

[10:31]away. I have a refund policy. You can

[10:34]try it for a week. I'll refund it if you

[10:35]don't like it for whatever reason.

[10:38]Um,

[10:41]but I got to get these bills paid and I

[10:42]don't know.

[10:45]I've sold everything that I can.

[10:47]I've done everything I can.

[10:51]I'm very close. I feel very close to

[10:54]stabilizing this part of my life. I need

[10:57]a bridge. You could be that.

[11:02]Help your consent.
