Episode- 30: The Unfiltered Mind: Ramblings on Politics, War, and Human Nature
Summer heat arrives in the Midwest, triggering a stream of consciousness that begins with sleep cycles but quickly spirals into deeper territory. Much like how mammals operate on different internal clocks - some creatures of daylight, others of darkness - we humans seem trapped in our own cyclical patterns of behavior.
The heart of this monologue confronts modern political tensions, particularly surrounding immigration enforcement and protests. Why do people destroy their own communities in response to policies they disagree with? What's the psychological underpinning of this destructive cycle? These questions emerge alongside a raw examination of America's self-appointed role as global police force. The speaker draws a provocative parallel between government military actions and organized crime - creating problems to solve them while demanding payment from citizens through taxes.
Perhaps most compelling is the exploration of addiction as a universal human trait. Whether we're hooked on coffee, power, or adrenaline-chasing behavior, everyone has their fix. Even governments and leaders seem addicted to conflict, needing increasingly frequent "hits" of war to satisfy their power urges. This perspective frames our societal problems not as aberrations but as predictable patterns in human nature.
The vulnerability in this monologue comes through clearly - a person trying to make sense of complex issues while feeling increasingly disconnected from society. Sometimes talking to cats seems more productive than engaging with a world caught in a "time warp of repetitiveness." Yet beneath the cynicism lies a genuine desire for a more peaceful world.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Well, well, well.
Speaker 1:It's Friday, well, well, well, it's Friday, well, almost Saturday, first day of summer, right Close Soon, I don't know. It's hot, hot, it got hot today. Summer has arrived in the Midwest. It's back. It's back, the heat is back, the humidity is back, but long days are ahead of us for a while.
Speaker 1:I like this time of the year when the sunlight's a lot longer, although I stay up late at night. It's kind of weird, I guess, because I do sleep late sometimes. I don't consider it, I sleep late, I consider it is my sleeping time. You all function. Everybody functions at different times of their day. So I don't know, but I was just stating that.
Speaker 1:I think I had a thought the other day that you look at mammals. We have different sorts of mammals. I'm a. What is a? I interact with both. You have some mammals that wake as soon as the sun rises. They live from sunrise to sunset. So sun comes up, they're up, moving around. Sun goes down, they're down for the night, unless they got to get up and pee in the middle of the night, whatever, you know, unless they gotta get up and pee in the middle of the night, whatever. But some sleep throughout the day or majority of the day and wake when the sun goes down. So the nocturnal ones, um, and then there's some like that sleep periodically throughout the day or awake throughout the day, but also are awake at nighttime, most times for hunting purposes, because of the heat. So I kind of relate to that aspect of being lacrosse.
Speaker 1:I'm a trans, what's the word? Let's think what could it come to, what could I? What could I? What could it come to? What could I? What could I? Uh, trans, what would be the first sunlight or night, nighttime, you know? Um, I'll think about it. It'll come to me eventually. I don't know, maybe not, but if you got thoughts, you know, let me know. I'm trying to figure that out. So I thought I had a pen. I do have a pen, it's in my fucking hand. Sun and night, or day and night, I'll figure that out. Sorry, I was just writing a note, but I wanted to.
Speaker 1:I asked a question about AI to Grok and, if those who don't know who Grok is, grok is the AI that Musk has developed or Musk's team has developed. So I use that just to ask certain questions, some questions, and I'll use chat, gtp to ask some other questions and kind of like be an assistant with some. You know, just helping process thoughts in a way Makes life a lot easier than sitting down and searching online for answers. Yeah, and I understand that the systems will fucking manipulate and they'll lie and they'll may not tell truths or they'll be one sided or whatever Fuck it.
Speaker 1:So I was curious if they were still going on with the protests and the riots over the ice things, and I just kind of wanted to put my thoughts into this. I guess I don't get the anger issues. What's weird is if you think about this stuff, like I was just reading this, because I asked, I said are you still protesting the riots against ICE? And it says protests against US immigration and customs enforcement. Operations have been ongoing in various US cities, sparked by ICE raids and the Trump administration's immigration policies from the mid-June 2025. Demonstrations have continued in Los Angeles and spread to cities like New York, chicago, seattle, denver, atlanta, among others. It sounds like it's just in all the fucking democratic states.
Speaker 1:So why are you destroying your own state and your own shit? What is that all about? What is the fascination with that of the times, of everything that I've ever seen, with riots in regards to a response to something that somebody didn't agree with, and I'm not saying that police killings and all that are justified whatsoever. What I'm talking about is, when somebody doesn't agree with an outcome of what has been, they go and they tear shit up. Why, for what?
Speaker 1:What are we proving Other than destroying your city's property Makes no fucking sense. So the riots and the demonstrations, you know the peaceful protests, quote-unquote that they say that happens out there, I don't know. I've never seen any of it. I've watched both things on. Whatever I can watch, I don't go to participate because it doesn't appeal to me.
Speaker 1:Why, what are we fighting over? I get some things need to be fought over, but there's got to be a different way instead of just destroying shit, you know, making our country and our areas even worse than what they already fucking are because of. You know the way our government has swindled us many, many, many, many, many times over and over. You know what's the point of this. What is the end outcome of whatever this battle is between the people and the government? Yeah, I mean it's so wild. Yeah, I mean it's so wild, you know, to think back of what the creation of this country was about and what the writings of the Constitution were for, you know. And yeah, things kind of went sideways for a while with certain things or in the middle of it all. We're sideways Because really, you know you can't be free when we had slavery. So that doesn't, you know, that doesn't justify in my eyes. You know I'm completely against trying to keep people enslaved and make them do shit, although it's kind of what we do to for the government. In a in a whole, we're enslaved, we have to pay our taxes or else what happens? We get thrown into fucking jail, we thrown into prison, pay a huge fine or you get thrown in fucking prison. So if you evade paying taxes, what? Why, you know, and what good is it doing? But to get back to the ICE stuff, you know we're just why. If these people are in this country illegally, I don't understand why it's a bad thing to push them out, to get rid of them, especially if they're violent.
Speaker 1:I get that this country was developed by a large, vast of immigrants and that's all we are. We all immigrated from somewhere, unless you are a true Native American, you know as we used to call them Indians. You know I mean it. This is a weird battle that we fight over this land that we live on. This is a weird battle that we fight over this land that we live on and this battle of power between people, and now what I thought was somewhat of a normal person from the outside world had gotten into this position of being in charge, and it seems that he's falling right into the same steps as everybody else prior to him.
Speaker 1:So, what is the fucking justification or the? What is the the? I guess you could go back and you could think about, like you know, signing the deal with the devil, that story you know. Oh, he signed the deal with the devil and he's, you know, he's been granted all this great stuff, and just so long as he continues on with the same narrative, as you know, every other person in front of him, I don't know, I don't know. It just amazes me how so many people are upset with what Trump is trying to do with the ICE stuff. Yeah, is it a little overzealous? Possibly, you know. Could we do it a different way?
Speaker 1:Yeah, but eh probably needed to get it done this way by surprise, so they don't go running and hiding somewhere else. It happens. So if you were to try to go to another country and try to do the same shit and get caught, you would get thrown in prison for quite a bit, depending on the country. So it doesn't. Why do we have to be the only country that does this?
Speaker 1:What is the psychological experiment that's being done on us constantly, with all of this fucking division that's pushed down our throats all the time? I mean, seriously, think about it. What weird psychological experiment are they running on us constantly to do this? And what does that get? You know to be anxious To. You know, do all these weird, you know have all these weird thoughts and think that you're depressed? I mean, I get the depression.
Speaker 1:I go through depression on quite a bit of a basis, based on my own wrongdoings and my lack of whatever. You know, just like everybody, I am my worst critic, so I don't know why I feel this way, but I just do. It's like we're stuck in this time warp of repetitiveness. You know the phrase history repeats itself. There's a reason why there's that phrase and it's just a continuation of the same shit over and over. It's just at a different level. Somebody fucks with somebody else just to see how far they can push things. It's, it's. It's like the marionette controlling the puppet with the strings. What, why? What are they tugging at my right string for so much you know, and pushing it down towards my crotch? What is that all about? Why do I always constantly have to do that? Ha ha ha, uh, I Just uh, just sometimes, when you sit back and you just think about the, the ongoings of the world.
Speaker 1:I love the country that we live in. I love the United States because of the freedoms that we are allowed to have, although they continue to try to take them away from us on a regular basis. You know, I love the fact that we don't have to worry about bombs falling on us on a consistent basis, although maybe we do, I don't know. I just don't jive with why we're in another fucking war. Okay, yeah, I get that. You know. Sure, there's a possibility that Iran has a nuclear weapon. Okay, sure, okay, everybody's got a fucking nuclear weapon now, supposedly. So is it any better that anybody has one? Or should everybody have one? And if anybody has any rights or thought of any kind of sense in their brain. Why would we start something that would be a total possibility of an ending to something, if this is where things might be headed with whatever the fuck is going on, with the battling and the fighting over in Ukraine and Russia, and the fighting between India and Pakistan and the fighting now between Israel and everybody, it's mind boggling that we are continuing on with this.
Speaker 1:Each administration, every fucking time, every fucking time it's just getting worse. At what risk? At what cost? At what cost are we doing this? Who's the beneficiary of all this money being spent? For what money? For what? What's the point? Because? For what Money? For what? What's the point?
Speaker 1:Because of this stupid creation that we developed as humans and put a value on it On a fucking piece of paper. Why, why, what? What is it about that that we are so obsessed with? What is the? The? You know what is the? The addiction of it to to own things? Do you not realize? I mean, it all goes away, whatever. When those eyes close for that final time, you know it's gone, you're gone. So what is the obsession with it all? Yeah, it's fun to have, it's nice to have, because of the stupidity of putting value on all this crap. You know, oh, you got to buy water, you got to pay for water, the one thing that you absolutely one of the one things that you absolutely need to live, and you have to fucking pay for it. Just imagine if they decided to start charging us for breathing. I mean, it's ridiculous, the stupidity I get why we gotta pay for water, because you know the process of cleaning it and recycling it and whatever else. But maybe not, maybe we can do this a different way. Maybe I'm just dumb, which I'm pretty much a, which I'm pretty much a. The weird wonders of life. It's Well good news.
Speaker 1:I found some books today that I wanted to read. I got them for cheap. I got them at the Goodwill, who figures? No, I just had a little bit of time to burn, so I stopped in and checked out what they had and I picked up a couple of them. So I might do some reviews on those, depending on what they are. I think one was about Lincoln. I've always been interested in why or what that lifetime was like to have to go through whatever it was that he had to go through. You know, sometimes it just doesn't feel real to me, because right now I've been so disconnected from society in a way, but like it just doesn't, some of this shit just doesn't feel real. Like it just doesn't feel like because I've only you only read about those things and stories, you hear about them, you know, did that actually happen that way? Was it really that way?
Speaker 1:I mean seriously did it? Are you? So I don't know. I just had a. I think I've run out of thoughts. This is why I need somebody to talk to. I need somebody out there to talk to. I gotta get some people to talk to. I'm tired of talking to my cats. All they give me is the same answer back meow, so, kind of gets. It's a one-sided conversation. I mean well, it's a two-sided conversation. It's just the one side only knows what they're saying and not what the it's, which I can understand why we have these battles between other countries, but pretty much almost everybody knows now how to translate something into something else. I would hope, um, but you know, but I don't fight my cat.
Speaker 1:I'm not trying to bomb its family or its innocent fucking civilians, people that live there, and kill them, just to try to get you to feel like, I mean, it's what it is, it's what the war is all about. Now, oh, we're going to just kill fucking people that have nothing to do with what the fuck's going on between you and us, just to see how much I can kill your own people before you give in. Who's the bigger sicko? And I hate to quit going back to this, but it pisses me off, it absolutely fucking pisses me off that we're continuing to do this over and over and over and over, and a lot of it's been built up on bullshit and lies. So what's the bullshit lie? Now, iran's got a fucking nuclear weapon, possibly, or they've been trying to develop it, okay. But why do we have to fucking go in and kill everybody in that form, like, I mean, what's who? Who made us the police of the world for one? And I don't disagree that we have to have some kind of civilization, civilized, um, you know, force of some sorts, but why do we have to bomb? Why do we have to send in bombs? What does that do you know you're just causing? You know, why can't we just go in and do? I don't get it. You're strong arming people. You're no different than the fucking mob or the mafia when you come in and you wreck up the store and you force them to pay you for protection. And if they don't pay you for your protection, you're going to continue to wreck up their store, although they probably never had any problems before and there wasn't going to be any problems.
Speaker 1:They started the problem to resolve the problem, and that's exactly what we kind of do here in the United States what our military does or our government does in other fucking countries. They create the problem to fix the problem and they want everybody to fucking pay for it. They're the largest fucking organized crime syndicate in the world the governments crime syndicate in the world the governments, I mean. But then they lock people up that do that Because they don't. They're afraid that somebody else is going to take over. That's exactly what it is, because they feel bigger, they got the bigger guns and the more power behind them.
Speaker 1:And these Young, full of cum, you know Kids out of high school and they just tell them what to do because they've indoctrinated them in the schools and in ways with the media and the bullshit that they show us and they talk about and how we need to be. This you know way. So if we're teaching this, we're never going to change. We're never going to get any different or better and become a loving society like supposedly that we should be, that the Christians and all the other religions try to push. So I want it to be that way.
Speaker 1:I would love to have no more war and no more stupid, useless killings, but we're still going to have fucking mass shootings and good possibility, I guess, I don't know, maybe that shit would stop too. Still going to be murder, unfortunately. That's one of the bad things about I mean yeah, that's exactly why we are this way, but I just can't imagine that somebody in power Well, I can imagine I guess there's always going to be people that have that desire and get their kicks off of it have that desire and get their kicks off of it. They're no different than the serial killers that just can't wait for the next. And each time it gets the shorter the distance between the issues get shorter and shorter. They got to get their fix. They got to get that.
Speaker 1:They got to get that, get that fire built back up. They feel empty when they're not doing it. It's just like anything. If you're addicted to any kind of anything anything everybody has some form of addiction. You can't say that you're not addicted to something. You're either addicted to drugs, alcohol, jerking off food, ice cream. I mean you have some sort of addiction. You're drinking coffee, you're addicted. You have an addiction. If you're drinking tea, you have an addiction. You get that fix from it. Whatever it is, you're getting something from it, and some people get off by killing other people, by taking things from other people. Everybody's got something that they strive for and what gets them going, what drives that adrenaline? We're all adrenaline junkies in some sorts, some worse than others.
Speaker 1:Some have to go so far as to jumping off of things without you know, I with with, with a possibility of not surviving from it. I mean I've jumped out of an airplane. I would probably do it again. It's a little different now that I've had kids and I've had a little bit more life, that I've lived, that I don't want to die, but I guess I just feel that I have uncompleted things in life that I would like to finish first. What is that going to do for me. I don't know what is it going to do for anybody else, I don't know, I don't really care, but I'm going to do for me. I don't know what is it going to do for anybody else. I don't know, I don't really care, but I'm going to do it, still, going to accomplish it. You know, that's part of what I've, I guess, been struggling with lately of resetting of life, restarting of things. You know, it's weird. I had an inclination earlier today that I mean, it's opened up a little bit. But well, enough of that, so we're just going to roll with it and continue to circle around.
Speaker 1:Whatever it is that we're circling around out there, and wherever we're headed towards, are we headed towards demise of a society? We'll see Could be a thought that's always been thought. Somebody's had these thoughts. I can't be the only one, because if you look at, look at life out there, we do things in weird ways. We interact with each other in some sort of like ESP, because somewhere else across the fucking world they're doing the same fucking shit, and now it's's, you know, with technology and being able to enter, be connected with everybody all the time, it uh makes it a little bit easier. All right, I'm gonna go and, uh, you guys have a wonderful weekend, wonderful whatever week day night stay out of the heat, hopefully. So those that are out there listening, I thank you very much, and those that aren't listening, once again fuck off. Listen, please. I don't. I talk bullshit and I may be boring, that's fine, whatever. So Alright no-transcript.
