SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah, but when you brought up public transport, that just woke something in me, right? I I have a big problem with uh public transport, especially in Stockholm, right? When I go take public transport to work, I try to be like calculate 20 minutes early just because shit happens, right? But I remember when I was like new to the work, I had never gotten late before, so I was like, okay, I woke up, I overslept a bit, so I was like, okay, if I catch this bus, I'm only gonna be like five minutes late. It's gonna be fine, it's no big deal, right? I've been early every hard time. I go uh down on the train, right? And you know when the train You go down on the train. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_05You disgusting. I swear nobody else heard that show, right?
SPEAKER_01How do you go down on a train?
SPEAKER_05You gotta explain that shit to me.
SPEAKER_03No, I'm not. Uh yeah, you know when the train does a full stop. Just got some signal problems, yeah. We're gonna be here a wah.
SPEAKER_04You're a signal dude! You become a 90s Italian, yeah.
SPEAKER_03So yeah, I'm on the I'm on the train and like 40 minutes, you know, and you're sitting there actually accepting your fate. Like, oh yeah, I'm fucked. I did that shit yesterday. Oh my god, I'm fucked. I'm so my boss is gonna be mad at me. You overthink, right? You're just oh I'm gonna lose my job over this. I'm fucked.
SPEAKER_01He's gonna put my dad to give me a team.
SPEAKER_03And then you get I I got to like the central of Stockholm. I'm trying to take the metro, right? And yeah, that's fucked up too. Obviously, obviously. It's rush hour, it's fucked up, everyone's late. So oh yeah, I gotta sit on here for like 20 minutes too. Yeah, awesome. So I'm like one and a half hour late, uh one and a half hours late. And then when you try, I actually filmed like on the on the portrayal to prove it, but you know how fuck it doesn't it doesn't like uh justify it even then. Did you have your face in it? Did you have your face in the video like your concern like reaction, yeah. This aim, this ain't me, show him the time, yeah.
SPEAKER_05If I was your boss, I'd be like, yeah, sure. Yeah, sure, you're good. Yeah, you're good. But I had to like I'm like you're good, you send a video of you doing the video No man, but then you know uh the Stockholm like public transport company SL.
SPEAKER_03I got a problem with them because they give me the same vibes as you you spoke about the guy that got a parking ticket, right? He got a parking ticket because oh he put it on 0829 instead of 0830, so now he's gotta pay because it's technically not 0830.
SPEAKER_04No, it's because um they rounded Yeah, exactly, they rounded up to another. Rounded down, so to the nearest. So instead of it being 8.30, they counted it as 8 o'clock. Yeah, so fucking stupid. So he got his ticket.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, so stupid. Yeah. And then that uh made me think about another thing with this SL company. Did you see what happened? The week and I was moving, uh, a whole metro on one of the lines shut down in the middle of the tunnel. A whole train in the middle of the tunnel. Okay, and one of the girls uh was on the train, she documented it, right? She was filming and she was like, Yeah, yeah. And you know, there's people screaming, there's people with claustrophobia, people are panicking, right? It's a fucked up situation. And then you're also like, okay, what's gonna happen with the rest of my day? How long am I gonna be here? This shit sucks, right? Yeah, and then like three hours they sat there, and then a representative a representative had to come and walk them out of the tunnel. Oh my god, walk you out of the tunnel. And she was like, Okay, this is my only day off. My whole day is fucked right now. My whole day is fucked up. That's half my only day off for the whole week. Like, uh can I get some compensation perhaps just to fix this? So she contacts SL, just can I get some compensation? Yeah, you can get uh two dollars back. What you paid for uh the ticket. Oh my god. What you paid for a ticket. Oh my god. Here you go. Oh my god. $2. Cheers. Three hours wasted stuck in a fucking metro with screaming children and people panicking, like shitting in the training.
SPEAKER_04But to be fair, to be fair, they have no obligation to do anything, first of all. Second of all, it's like okay, sure. Even if they don't pay you, you're gonna use a different train system. You're always gonna use SL, the big SL.
SPEAKER_03So not get they're not gonna get so so you can't criticize them, right?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, so it's like okay, yeah, the train malfunctioned, but we got billions of other trains working.
SPEAKER_03I'm just saying how fucking pissed I would be. Oh yeah, oh my god.
SPEAKER_04I'd I'd also contact them.
SPEAKER_03I'm gonna be honest.
SPEAKER_04But I also see why they're not paying.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course, because they genuinely don't have to. They don't give a shit. Yeah, and then you can say, is it real their fault? Shit happens, right? Blah blah blah with the train, but still, man, my day's gone. I get it. I get both sides, yeah. My day's gone, man. Holy fuck. Uh so uh I wanted to try some.
SPEAKER_04So I just want to say I hate your buffering sounds so much.
SPEAKER_03I genuinely sounds okay.
SPEAKER_04You know, whenever you're trying to get to the next thing and you're always eh, dude, be like So I was thinking.

SPEAKER_04Fuck. Dude, dude, working is I don't know, dude. You you you I guess you're used to it. So now when you come home, you're not as tired as you would be in the beginning.
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah, no, no.
SPEAKER_04You don't gotta go to sleep immediately?
SPEAKER_03No, no, no, no. Uh some days. Some days, but that depends on how well I slept, like last night. So it it does.
SPEAKER_04But you sleep like shit, right?
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_04Like you go to sleep like at 3 a.m.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. And you start at like 8. Yeah. But that's the the the whole thing, uh another thing, uh talking about sleep. When when you're going to sleep, right? I know we talked about this before. The most the hardest choice for require the strongest will be. Okay, no. The hardest choice each day is when it's around bedtime and you gotta prioritize sleep or my free time. Because I've been home, I felt like I haven't done got on any free time, I haven't done shit. I've made food, I've done all my shorts, I've done everything. Now I wanna chill, and I got like 30 minutes left. Come on, man, come on. I wanna have at least like an hour, at least uh two hours.
SPEAKER_04But that's that's such a real dilemma. Yeah, man. Such a real dilemma. We talked about it. You know, uh it's all for me, it's between reading, watching, yeah, just falling asleep. Yeah, and I'm like you said, I haven't done anything uh when it comes to free time. I've just working, studying, please God.
SPEAKER_03I just wanna do something, man, please.
SPEAKER_04And it has to be oh yeah, obviously, the time is one, it's one a.m. Yeah. I'm gonna wake up in seven hours. If I sit and watch it for like one hour, two hours, it's that's my sleep gone.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. And it takes time to fall asleep. I don't know if you've ever ever thought about this or seen this. Every time there's like an ad for YouTube or something that comes on, I'm like, 30-second ad. You know you're actively taking sleep away from me right now. Yeah. You're actively fucking me over right now. Yeah, 100%. Yo my god, and I'm like watching the clock, and I'm like, yeah, that's 30 minutes gone that I could have slept. I'm gonna feel like shit tomorrow.
SPEAKER_04It's so important to choose to educate yourself in something you really care about because that's gonna be your life working all the time. So it's really, really imperative to choose wisely. Yeah. Right, Yang.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah. Sub to the Patreon, please.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, please. Yeah, we don't want to make that choice. We don't, yeah, we sure don't. No, but that choice sucks. I'm I'm I'm gonna be honest. 75 80% of the time I choose to watch or read. Yeah, I don't go to sleep.
SPEAKER_03Exactly, yeah, you don't because you can't you just can't, man. You just you you you really sometimes you're really tired and then it feels good to just go straight to bed. But oh another fucked up uh dilemma, I guess. When you I don't know if you do this, this happens to me like twice a week, like all the time. Uh when you get home, you like lay down in your sofa or your or your bed, and you're just trying to chill, trying to wind down after c you just came home and you fall asleep, wake up, it's 2 a.m.
SPEAKER_04Oh yeah, dude.
SPEAKER_03Oh I haven't made food, I haven't showered, I haven't done my shores, I haven't done laundry. Oh my god, oh my god, and I haven't even gotten good sleep. I'm in my fucking clothes, and I'm uh didn't have to be a little bit more than a little bit. One sortie's off. My airpod is up my ass. Yeah, I only got like yeah, maybe five hours, like it's not a good good enough sleep, and now I I I haven't done shit. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_04But the trouble I consistently find myself in when it comes to falling asleep is I always as soon as it's time to lay down, yeah, my thoughts go everywhere. I start thinking about all the things I need to do. Oh yeah, you start stressing yourself out tomorrow, the coming week, my life, everything, and it's the most mean uh meaningless things to the most important things. It's like, are you sure you want to educate yourself in this field? Yeah, and are you sure, by the way, that you after work tomorrow wanna go to the cinema? Uh uh, that's not good for your studies. Yeah, no, no, no. And it's you know, it's just a shit show. Yeah, so it delays my sleep. Now I got a headache.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, you gotta you're laying there, it's hot also. Yeah, unbelievably hot. Yeah, it's burning, you're fucking stressing out, and then it's also as you said, it's always almost always trivial things. Yeah, like fucking, yeah, should you go to the cinema tomorrow? It doesn't matter, right? I'll choose in the moment what feels right. What the fuck? It really doesn't matter.
SPEAKER_04Right now, all that matters is that you shut the fuck up so I can go to sleep.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, and like when I when I'm in that situation, like it's I got I don't remember where I got it from. It was like some professional sleep educated person's tip.
SPEAKER_01Professional sleeper. No guys, watch this.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, don't joke about that. That shit's real. They have competitions and stuff. Free sleeping. Yeah, for sleeping competitions, yeah, competitions. I gotta see that. Yeah, South Korea. Yeah, they have to see that. Or they watch Japan, I don't remember, but they have them competitions. Yeah, that's so intriguing.
SPEAKER_04What are the techniques? I need that shit.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I need that, yeah. But uh, when you're laying there, like uh or when I'm laying there, sweaty, overthinking, right? I just gotta go up, like walk around. What what what? Alright, spit around, spit it up.
SPEAKER_04I just I was just thinking about the that's a combination of hell sweating and overthinking.
SPEAKER_05You just everywhere is overstimulated.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, man, yeah, yeah. But then you just gotta stand up because uh you're not in the mode for sleeping, your brain can't sleep at that time. So you really just gotta get up, like walk around the apartment, like see if you gotta do dishes or like small tasks, maybe like clean up the tables a little bit, like don't start checking YouTube videos or watching your phone or something. Just start walking around, like stand and watch out the window for like a minute or something. That's kind of nice. Yeah, and then like maybe take a like quick shower or something and then go back to bed. Works. Then you then you fall right asleep when you like feel like you're ready to go back to bed.
SPEAKER_04I feel the best uh one of the best uh counters to the overthinking is just let it drive on. Because if you actively try to stop it, that's more energy expend uh like spend it for no reason.
SPEAKER_03So But haven't you ever it it doesn't work all the time for some reason? Sometimes I just yeah fuck it. Yeah, fuck it. I'm fucked. I'm fucked, yeah, sure. I'm fucked. Tomorrow I'm gonna be fucked. Yeah, yeah, sometimes you accept. Yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_04So at that point I just crack on. Yeah, exactly. Turn the TV on, watch them sit.
SPEAKER_03No, no, but I mean when you're falling asleep, you're having this thought, and then you just accept that, yeah, I'm fucked. My life is fucked up. Yeah, sure. Oh, oh yeah, for sure. And then sometimes it actually calms you down and you fall asleep, but sometimes it's yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04Everything's gone to shit. Yeah, and everything's going to shit. And even if I succeed, I'm gonna be miserable. Yeah, so who cares? Who cares? I'm gonna kill myself. Either way, speaking of TV, let's give let's talk about I got a recommendation, show recommendation. It's it's such a stupid recommendation because it's such a popular show, it's barely a recommendation. You've heard of it all the time. The Sopranos.
SPEAKER_03The Sopranos, yeah.
SPEAKER_04I started watching The Sopranos for the first time. No people have uh RH have a hard time getting into that shit because of the um the quality.
SPEAKER_03No, but I like that though. I like that it looks like you timey, like it looks it looks like it's from the time that it's taken too. Dude, I really like the show.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, I really like the the you know you know Italian mafia in the 90s. You know, you just want to be a part of their crew. Yo yeah. You just want that by the way, the thing about the thing about the Pharaoh's ass and shit I told you about, that's the Sopranos. No, that's the Sopranos?
SPEAKER_05Okay.
SPEAKER_04For context, uh uh it was a funny line. I feel I found it was a funny line from The Sopranos. Yeah, tell him the quote.
SPEAKER_05Tony was like, There's something along the lines of the Bible, you read that shit, and the other dude was like, the only shit that came out of the Bible was from the pharaoh's ass when he saw Moses part the red thing. That's a bard. Yeah, that's true. That's true. Imagine seeing being the pharaoh and seeing that shit. What the fuck are we talking about? Holy you got god when you die. Literally, who the fuck am I? You must leave! Who the fuck is the pharaoh? You split the red, dude. You got it. You got it, you got it, dude. Let's ride back, guys. What the fuck? He shits himself, yeah. Yeah, you guys are god's people, dude. Just just leave. Just leave. I don't even believe in raw anymore and that new bit. Just just leave. Just leave, please.
SPEAKER_04God damn. No, but the Soprano is such a good show. It's like, you know, they're mobsters, obviously, but they also show you how the mobsters deal with everyday life. Like how their families are stressed and what their kids think of their living situation, right? And the consequences that they impose on the people they know. Say I'm a mobster and I talk to you, they might use you against me. Oh, yeah. Right? Like some super village.
SPEAKER_03Have you played the mafia games? Long ago. They are so good. That that's exactly the type of stuff. Also, like, yeah, it's obviously the mafia, but they're so good. Mafia 1 and Mafia 2 are so fucking good. What do you think about Mafia 3? Yeah, no, it's not good. I've what I've heard, I didn't play it. I what I've heard, it's not good.
SPEAKER_04But now, dude, The Sopranos, super good show so far. I watched the whole season in like four days.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, Gabagul. Has he done it yet? Has he said it yet? They've all said it. Okay, it's pretty good. I love it. Yeah, Gabagul.
SPEAKER_04I actually get some satisfaction when they say Gabagul. I don't know why. Yeah, it's really don't know why.
SPEAKER_02Italian guys, yeah.
SPEAKER_04Yeah. But no, it's such a you know, the acting, I just want to say the the thing about the Sopranos is their acting is like second to none. Really? It f they're it's like breaking bad level of acting. Okay. Perhaps even better. You don't feel you're watching a show, you feel you're just a fly on the wall as they're dealing with the business. It's such it's so clean from from Tony Soprano himself to his wife to his kids to all the other mobsters. Such a good show.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_04It doesn't feel like they're acting.
SPEAKER_03I I promise you. How many how many seasons is it? Six. That's good very much. Six seasons. Okay. You should watch it. Fuck, yeah. It's super crazy.
SPEAKER_04But no, I was saying you want to be a part of a crew, right?
SPEAKER_03Yeah. But you know, I don't know if they have that type of mafia in uh the Sopranos, but at least in the Mafia games, you know the feel of a mafia. Yeah. When you see the maidman, the mafia gangsters. They're walking in a fucking Italian suit, a trench coat on, fucking fedora hat on. Super cool. They have that shirt on, man. Holy shit. It's super cool. It's so cool.
SPEAKER_04Until you owe them two dollars.
SPEAKER_01And they harvest your organs.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, they do a blade and uh being a part of the crew is obviously scary because you're paranoid all the time. But I'm just thinking about the good moments, you know, when they're sitting there counting money, making jokes, you know how American Italians are or how they're portrayed in cinema.
SPEAKER_03I actually thought about it now. I re not recently, like a year ago, learned how the mafia business actually worked, like what they got money.
SPEAKER_05Your uncle, right? Okay, now he's a made man Italian, right? I just saw something. What? Just pause. Pause for a moment. What did he just say? He's a maid man flew right over my head. Must have been the win. A maid man, a maid man who gets done with the she made. What the fuck are you talking about?
SPEAKER_03No, but the way they a lot of them made money was really funny, actually. They go to a local business, right? It's just extortion. Yeah. So you're gonna pay us a monthly fee. Yo, yo, whoa, monthly fee for for what?
SPEAKER_04It's just Tulsa King.
SPEAKER_03Uh what's what did you call it? Tulsa King. I don't ru I don't know if it has a name or if it's oh no, no, it's not a show. This is how like actual mafias made money.
SPEAKER_01Oh you you you were you were there. Oh man, come on, observe that they were.
SPEAKER_03I watched something, I saw it, man. Come on. So they're like, yeah, we're we're gonna charge you monthly. It was actually a mob apprentice.
SPEAKER_01And the thing about the mob is there can only ever be two a master and apprentice. Okay, yeah, man.
SPEAKER_03And this is the first time I'm not a mobster, yeah.
SPEAKER_01And it's the first time they've appeared in a thousand years.
SPEAKER_03I'm making by the way, this is to the sips.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, we got it, we got it, man. You're the apprentice. What's your tactic, tell me?
SPEAKER_03No, no, my tactic. This is how they made money. They just go to a business, a local business, like a bakery, and like, okay, you're gonna pay us a monthly fee, right? For protection. Oh yeah, absolutely. Protection against what? Us. Us, yeah, pay us or we'll fuck you up. And then you get territories that way, right? So, oh yeah, you're getting you get this part of the city, and if anyone from the other mafia fucks with you, we're gonna have like a war big mafia war, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04So Versus Stallone does this in Tulsa King. Have you watched Tulsa King?
SPEAKER_03Uh I've seen clips of it. He does it. He goes to a weed store, he's like, Oh, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, so you're gonna pay me.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, you're gonna pay me. Yeah, you're just gonna pay me. Yeah, for protection. Yeah, exactly. Like that, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, because you were there, obviously.
SPEAKER_03Okay, man.
SPEAKER_04No, no, but it's actually intriguing because obviously you refer to it or people refer to it as organized crime.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_04So it's not just like bullshit central, it's like sophisticated. So I'm curious as to how their systems work and how they you know, because they obviously they're obviously like a real business. They count profit margins, yeah, uh how much they put into it uh compared to how much they're expected to win. Yeah, business models over years, so they're kind of locked in, just illegally.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, cool. Until obviously you owe them cash money.
SPEAKER_03Oh my god, yeah. Another thing that we've recently uh we've we've been dabbling in it here or there, but I wanted to try and trip you up with some philosophical questions.
SPEAKER_05But trip you like No, no, no, okay, yeah, you get down.
SPEAKER_03So I'm gonna I have some dilemmas, right? Uh and I'm gonna make you're gonna answer what you think, the your what your opinion about these topics are. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, what yeah, it's gonna be different topics, right? And yeah, you just say say your opinion. I'll see if if I agree or not, but then yeah. Let me see. Okay, so the first one, I don't know if you heard of it. They're not gonna be.
SPEAKER_04Why are you squinting? Huh? Why are you squinting, mobile?
SPEAKER_03Not squinting?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, you did this when you opened your phone, you're not 50, you're not 60.
SPEAKER_03I don't know, I don't know. I don't know if I did that. Maybe I just blinked. Weird. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, go ahead, go ahead. Okay, so first one, I'm so hungry too. Yeah, I know, me too, me too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The god damn it. Yeah, somebody calls me right now. Fuck off. Yep. Uh the clone dilemma. Have you heard about this one? Go ahead. You have a teleporter, right? You have a teleporter that when you go through it, the teleporter breaks you down into like small particles, and then it can instantly transmit you to another location.
SPEAKER_04So teleportation.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, the teleportation, but it breaks you down, that's the important part. It breaks you down, it brings you to another place. When you appear on the other side, is that still you? Is that still you?
SPEAKER_04It breaks me down. So I guess it has to remember my my genetic code to build me up again.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, exactly. Yeah. It knows everything about you, yeah. It knows you perfectly.
SPEAKER_04It breaks me, it actively breaks me down. It breaks me down.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, into fine particles, molecules, yeah.
SPEAKER_04So at the at the po at the point of breakdown, I rem okay. And the question is, am I the same person when I re-arranged?
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_03Is it still you?
SPEAKER_04You know what determines if I'm the same person, define the same person.
SPEAKER_03Exactly. But yeah, definitely.
SPEAKER_04Same person biologically. But if I'm the exact same person as I was before biologically, it's the same genetic code. You can argue I am the exact same person. But am I the exact same genetic copy of myself? No, I'm not. I'm not. I just am not.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, but I'm gonna help you out here a little with the like the dilemma part that people are arguing about. Technically, when it breaks you down to your bare particles, it kills you. It kills your you. Like what makes you you, your consciousness. You die, but then you reappear, it rebuilds you again, so you still have the memories, you still have But it's not the same you who has the memories, it's your copy who has the memories. Does you do you die when you go through a teleport? Like, does your existence end right there?
SPEAKER_04I got that point, but listen, as I said, as my conc uh as my consensus was, yeah, it's a genetic copy of you, meaning it's not you, right? So at the point of breakdown, you remember everything you remember, but at the point at the point of being built up again, it feels like a seamless transition for the new copy.
SPEAKER_03Exactly.
SPEAKER_04But me, the one who got broken down, it's fair, yeah. You don't expect it.
SPEAKER_03Are you dead? Are you dead? I am dead. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04I, my version, Milan V1 is dead, but Milan V2 with my memories lives on.
SPEAKER_03Because this is where this is a lot of people agree with you where they're you you die, like you disappear as well.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, you have to be specific. Your specific version, but you still survive.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, you still survive, but your consciousness, right? You in the world.
SPEAKER_04They did this, they did this in Invincible. You know, you know. Did they? Freaking a what's his name? Robot. Yeah. So when before he he became, you know, the little little the the guy, yeah, the 12-year-old. He was like a disformed, disfigured guy, remember? Yeah. So they wanted to transmit him into Oh yeah, yeah. So they are the same person, but he dies. Yeah. And the other survives, but they're still the same. He has all the same memories.
SPEAKER_03Memories, everything.
SPEAKER_04But the dude dies. So but it's not him.
SPEAKER_03This is yeah, exactly. Because when I think about it, right, I'm I'm going down the rabbit hole of okay, it no, it's the exact same molecule. It's building, it's just tearing me apart and then rebuilding my brain exactly how it was before. Isn't it still me? Like wouldn't wouldn't it be like a hiccup? Like, I'm just blacking out and then I'm there again. Like it's still me. It's not a new newer version, if you know what I mean. Wouldn't it still be me though?
SPEAKER_04Give me a second.
SPEAKER_03Because I'm thinking I'm thinking against the majority here, I'm thinking it's it would be me. It would be like blacking out. Because you I don't think your brain either would have enough time to just uh yeah, it wouldn't have time to uh figure out what happened.
SPEAKER_04It depends. Do they when you get broken down the pieces of you where do they go? If they just disappear. No, they don't disappear, they travel to the other teleporter. It's sparkles, yeah. So I was thinking it remembers your genetic code and we can't.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah, no, no, then it's not you. So it saves saves you, saves your. Then you survive, my boy. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. You survive. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Your version. You agreed with me. Fuck. Your version. I thought you were gonna disagree.
SPEAKER_04No, the ver your version, you you, yeah, and the key one.
SPEAKER_03This is what they this is the uh scene, right? That the particles, because they can move fast for whatever reason, they can travel instantly.
SPEAKER_04But it's you though, because it's your exact build-up. So it would be like blacking out for like a nanosecond and then you're back. Because I was thinking you it you get destroyed, but it remembers your build-up and creates you in another spot.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, then then you're uh that's a clone. That's a clone.
SPEAKER_04But if it breaks you down, keeps your essence, yeah, and builds you up based off or through that essence, it's still you. How is that a different version?
SPEAKER_03Because they their argument is when it strips you down to your bare molecules, you die immediately. You can't survive that. You get resurrected two seconds later. But exactly, do you are you getting resurrected? You are getting resurrected.
SPEAKER_04What's the definition of resurrection? It's that this body comes back to life. That's my body, is it not?
SPEAKER_03This is making sense.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, not my body, yeah.
SPEAKER_03I have to go back. I saw a video of a guy uh like uh discussing this. I have to see what his take was on this because I think there's only one logic. I I thought he at first I agreed with him, but then I was like, well no well nah. Because it's still me, it's still my brain, my particles from the uh original. Yeah, yeah. So it's would be just blacking out quickly.
SPEAKER_04That's a good one, but I would say it's still me. Yeah, it's still me. On to number two. Okay.
SPEAKER_03Uh d this is just a little more like uh it's not a dilemma, right? It's just w if you get this, do you just get bursts of fearing death now and again?
SPEAKER_04Oh yeah, 100%.
SPEAKER_03Do you know what I mean by that?
SPEAKER_04You know there's many types of bursts. Is it the you get burst of happiness, yeah, you get bursts of fear. But you you know sometimes I just wanna you know go off goes sometimes you just stand there like you're picking things from the fridge. I love my life, yeah, I got everything, yeah, and I'm going to I'm becoming what I want to become. But at the other end, sometimes in dark moments, out of nowhere, I just remember life is finite. And you know, I go deeper, I think how if there's a God, if there's a creator, yeah, how evil it is to make his creations aware of their mortality. We are the only creatures on earth aware of their that know they're gonna die. Do you know how evil that is?
SPEAKER_03But yeah, exactly. That's we understand that's what I mean with these birds, uh bursts of because we can sit right now and talk, yeah, I'm gonna die someday. But it's doesn't mean anything to me right now. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, you know when you have the moments when you realize it. I'm going to die. Yeah, I'm actually going to die. And I had this, it was when I was writing this down that I had one of those where I'm just sitting there, like, okay, so think of a bunny in a fucking forest that's no one's ever gonna observe. It's entire life. It's entire like it's only a bunny for a fraction of a second in history, then it's nothing. Yeah. Assuming that uh you turn to nothing when you die. That's the sunshine I'm gonna do. That's the hypothetical scenario, right now.
SPEAKER_04Let's just go based off of what we know. Yeah. That you disappear when you die.
SPEAKER_03Let's say as far as we know. The hypothetical hypothetical scenario right now, you're just gone. You're nothing.
SPEAKER_04Nothing happens after this.
SPEAKER_03So when a bunny, nobody's gonna observe it, it just lives and dies.
SPEAKER_04But what remember the quote I told you?
SPEAKER_03Which one?
SPEAKER_04The Polotraides one, which he says in Dune Messiah. Okay. Well, I can't remember it word for word, but it's like, oh the the flesh surrenders itself, the eternity takes back takes back its own. What can we uh We dance with a certain intoxication in front of ourself and love. Oh yeah. What can we say of this? I occurred, I am not, yeah. Yet I occurred.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_04That's the best encapsulation of life in my opinion. Yeah. I occurred, I am not. Yet I occurred. And he says, Yeah, what do we do? We we think of ourselves, we we get we fall in love, we deal with some strange ideas in life. Oh, what is life, and yada yada, and we die.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah, man. The thing, yeah, we when I think about this, you know, I think always think about okay, how was it before my birth? Because that's how it was, right? History's been going on. I've I've just been on this earth for 20 years, right? History's been going, so you obviously can think about it.
SPEAKER_04What you know, my version of that is that one day, one day the sun is gonna rise, and I'm not gonna be there to witness this.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. I'm gonna be gone.
SPEAKER_04And life will continue as is.
SPEAKER_03Exactly.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, barely nothing on the nothing will change.
SPEAKER_03Nothing.
SPEAKER_04Humanity will go on living, whatever happens in the cosmos happens, yeah, and I am no more.
SPEAKER_02Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_04But genuinely, I hope I listen, you know people say things sometimes and you just view it surface level. But I want you to try to think of this deeply. You know what a privilege it is to get to be alive.
SPEAKER_03Oh, I think about it all the time, yeah.
SPEAKER_04But do you know what a privilege it is to be alive? You you get to live. Yeah, you know, you but listen, let's assume, let's just go based off the uh hypothetical that God doesn't exist. Yeah, that everything happened by chance. Somehow the universe managed to create something aware of the universe itself. And you are that thing.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, you are it.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, billions of years of of of evolution and yada yada led up to you, a physical manifestation a conscious manifestation of the universe. How did that happen? Yeah, how could you occur? What are the odds? And out of every sperm, too, you got you want to live.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, but who was it? I thought I think it was Neil deGrasse Tyson that actually did the math. Yeah, actually did the math of you being alive right now. It's it's non-existent. It's like it doesn't compare.
SPEAKER_04You get to live, you get to breathe oxygen. You you get to compare that chance to anything. You get to feel love, you get to feel fear. What a privilege it is to be afraid of death. Sure, we get best case scenario, like 90 years.
SPEAKER_03We got to live. Yeah, we got to live on the earth. I just thought about it also. If you could somehow communicate to someone that had died or something, yeah, or has been dead for a while, what would you give? Like, obviously, they had they're dead, so they don't have money, but like, how much would one second, just one breath of being alive, be worth to them?
SPEAKER_04Everything.
SPEAKER_03Just when you sit when you sit doom scrolling, wasting away seconds, this is something I think of all the time. How much would that 20-minute doom scroll sesh be worth to someone someone who's died, someone that came back for 20 minutes? And what would they do?
SPEAKER_04My auntie uh uh uh gave me uh the premise of a book. It's a man who dies, it's fantasy. Yeah, and he begs God, he's like, I'm begging you, just give me like five days. So sure, take five days. Let's see what you do with those five days. Oh, yeah. So he gets five days on earth, and we get to witness what he does with his last five days. So I'm curious, I'm maybe. But uh the counter-argument to your doom scrolling thing is sure, they would kill for that amount of time. Yeah, but we living the time, we're used to living. Exactly. We're used to things. So, how are we supposed to appreciate it?
SPEAKER_03We can't start made. We've always known living.
SPEAKER_04We've never not known living egg. Yeah, yeah, so that's the only thing we know. So, and plus you can't always be going hard, fucking being drumming, running with a dog, killing mobs. What the fuck? Yeah, sometimes sometimes the beauty in life is just doom. Simplicity, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Simply just being alive.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, you don't gotta always be an action star.
SPEAKER_03No, exactly. Yeah, yeah. The best thing says fucking you know when you you just see a view or see the weather and you just you're just at peace. You see those flowers.
SPEAKER_04Sometimes when the sun is shining, yeah, I I watch those flowers with the sun reflecting on them. I just sit here, yeah, happy.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, that that's one of those times where just you're just at peace. Yeah. Yeah. For a couple of minutes.
SPEAKER_04And you try not to think about tomorrow and whatever you gotta do. You're just here, living. I'm alive.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_04But you know when I remember I'm alive, I feel like there's so much more I gotta do, right?
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, you don't wanna. That's the death thing again. Yeah, I'm gonna be gone. And I gotta make use of my time. It really doesn't matter what I do, it doesn't matter in the long run. But on an individual level, individual level, exactly it's all I have, it's all I have, it's all I got. You gotta yeah, you gotta live, you gotta do stuff. Obviously, it's only for you.
SPEAKER_04Obviously, you can't do anything and everything all the time. Yeah. But just try every day to do the things you need to or want to do.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, to achieve goals, to get to places you wanna be, right? Yeah.
SPEAKER_04You done with philosophy?
SPEAKER_03No, I got one one more quickie. Just the barrier for consciousness.
SPEAKER_04What do we count as conscious?
SPEAKER_03Where in human evolution did we get the fucking ability to be conscious? I think. I think I have an answer. I thought about it when I wrote this down. I think I have an answer. Yeah. Let me speak. Okay. Yeah. I have it written down, so yeah, you speak first, yeah.
SPEAKER_04Okay. Uh consciousness, first of all.
SPEAKER_03Where in the line of human evolutions did human become conscious?
SPEAKER_04I just want to say I'm gonna go learn mode. It's impossible to pinpoint, obviously. But the best thing I can give you is when language became a thing.
SPEAKER_03When language became a thing.
SPEAKER_04If you want the rationaliz rationalization, imagine being not having language to think of things as in. You don't have concrete things to reference in your mind. Yeah. Are you the are you conscious?
SPEAKER_03Are you asking me? I'm asking you. I'm conscious.
SPEAKER_04You're you're not conscious. What do we wait? Let's define consciousness, first of all. What's consciousness?
SPEAKER_03The ability to have what how do you describe consciousness? Let's do it. I'm gonna need I'm gonna need some help on this. Let's do this. How do you do define consciousness? Because you know, you know how I operate.
SPEAKER_04I need definition. Yeah, if I get the definition, I can give you a property.
SPEAKER_03Oh yeah, we talked about free will. We don't really have free will, but the free will we have, we have the a logical brain that gets us to make choices. Yeah, how the fuck do you define it?
SPEAKER_04It's the state of being aware of yourself, your thoughts, your feelings, and the world around you. So consciousness is the state of being aware, aware is the key word of your feelings, your thoughts, your f uh and the world around you. Yeah. So you're conscious of it. So if we go from an evolutionary standpoint, obviously we came from AIDS. Right? Huddling around There is no The best I can give you is language before. Do you agree with the language still or do you have a different th you know if I if I would agree with my previous statement, it would mean that consciousness did not exist before language was created, meaning they will not be aware of their surroundings, feelings. You are obviously aware. I cannot pinpoint, I cannot give you a logical answer.
SPEAKER_03But the I when I think when I'm thinking about language, it's like, yeah, okay, we learn to communicate better, to survive better, but like wolves and everything, they communicate, right? They still like tr strategize, they know how to communicate.
SPEAKER_04No, I don't mean language as in communication, I mean language as in reflection. Because you you speak to yourself in your mind. Yeah, okay, yeah. So you can create concepts. You can you can create concepts in your mind. You're like chair, that's a chair, right?
SPEAKER_03I think I think I have a good answer. Sixty-seven thousand years ago is the first time, the first recorded self-portrait on a wall.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, dude, that's not a good answer.
SPEAKER_03Really? I think that's a really good answer.
SPEAKER_04That's the that's really not a good answer. I think it's a good idea. Just because I I can I I can I can break it down in like 50 billion different ways.
SPEAKER_03First of all, can I just say uh just spit a while? Oh yeah, sorry. So because this is why I think so, because this is the first time that documented, obviously it's gonna be before that, because yeah, they had to learn blah blah blah. But it's the first time they recognize themselves, their family, right? The first self-portrait, it's just them putting their hands together, a family putting their hands on a wall with paint. Uh yeah, whatever paint they used. So that's a recognition of yeah, oh, they're not hunting, they're not uh surviving, they're just doing something for them creatively for themselves, recognizing something like, oh yeah, this is us, this is a re representation of us in this cave painting.
SPEAKER_04Okay, I'll I'll I'll give you two two two pathways. Yeah. Number one, if we were to pinpoint consciousness, no, first of all, consciousness, I'm gonna I'm just gonna say impossible to pinpoint. Yeah, you you can't pinpoint. So if you're a logical human, you are supposed I'm gonna be honest, you're supposed to say no. Yeah. Because there's nothing you can say. You can't be like 67,000 years ago because what happened 68,000 years ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you can't be like when language wasn't invented, because what happened before language was invented. We were obviously conscious. So you can't. So I think to a certain degree, this is not your fault because people probably talk about it.
SPEAKER_03This is my best guess, obviously. I know there's a lot of more going on.
SPEAKER_04I just want to say it's a bullshit question because you can't answer the question. But then if we go into what you say, okay, sure. The first recording of uh self-portrait, I would say it's a valid argument when when when explained, yeah, because it's the first activity outside of surviving that we've seen, but it's also not an answer. Yeah, you get what I'm saying? I'm saying it's a valid viewpoint, yeah, but it's not an answer. No, it's not a factual answer, yeah. Yeah, there is no factual answer. Exactly. But I think it's fair. When we started seeing humans becoming creative, yeah, sure. They started thinking outside of surviving and just eating and for.
SPEAKER_03Have you seen any cave paintings?
SPEAKER_04In real life?
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_04No.
SPEAKER_03I've seen one in Spain when I was there. They it was just a man and a mammoth in a huge fucking cave.
SPEAKER_04Do you think they're like they're like, okay, I'm painting, right?
SPEAKER_05Yeah, like I'm like just a huge dick.
SPEAKER_04That's how they were probably though, yeah. And you know, people were talking about okay, how was language invented? I think I feel that's kinda self- that's kind of easy.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Oh so then you're like, I'm like, okay, I'm like, oh yeah. Oh, ah, the table hurt me. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03The table hurt me. If dogs can understand a name given to them, yeah, caveman can understand, oh, stick means uh. Exactly.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, exactly. But actually, it's uh I don't want a dog on you, it's an interesting question, but it's impossible to give any logical answers.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, that's philosophy, though. It's my it does it doesn't make sense to answer the question in that way.
SPEAKER_04No, even in philosophical terms, I don't feel like you can answer the question.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, no.
SPEAKER_04No, uh, you mean like factually like check back like Because philosophy, even though it's thinking, they usually base it off of like empirical, empirical things, like proven things, right? This is not anything we can trace, right?
SPEAKER_03No.
SPEAKER_04It's the same argument when it comes to evolution. When did an ape become a human? Yeah, when did a fish when did a fish become a land?
SPEAKER_03It's gradually, right?
SPEAKER_04It's a progression, it's a gradual progression. Either way, let's finish this off with a blind ranking. Alright. Because obviously TikTok fucked with uh blind rankings, so it's gonna be this is a super weird blind ranking. Yandale, you're supposed to blind rank things.
