but when it comes to our feelings we don't wait like we're just i don't know we're
just we're
softer now yeah it used to be like or we're harder i think people aren't
feeling as much
you know they're avoiding their feelings i think people are scared of their
feelings but your
feelings are native like there's no feeling that's going to kill you it's just
not uh avoiding a
feeling will kill you but um we do a lot you know in addiction and stuff like
that to stay away from
feeling something oh yeah i mean even you were talking earlier about go you
like a like a feeling
is like a warm place sometimes you want to get right by it yeah like i was
thinking the other day
and i've thought about this before but i was rekindling the thought that um
yeah something
sometimes i don't want to change certain behaviors just because i don't want to
you part of you wants to have an excuse because it gives you an excuse not to
so that other things don't happen you know like there'll be times where i didn't
want to quit
smoking because i was like well if i quit smoking then i'll have to find
something else positive to
do i won't have the excuse that oh i can't do that yeah because i'm smoking or
i don't want to feel
that because i'm smoking because i would go to smoking a lot of times if i was
like i had an intense
feeling or if i you know felt rejected or i want to you know like it became
this kind of like um
a bit of like a shower curtain to shield me from like real moments you know
yeah well when your life
becomes a series of shit you do you know i smoke i eat uh barbecue i eat i
drink at night
i watch this uh then you can avoid like a day a day of just being on earth
under the fucking
swirling sky is fucking intense like you're really if you're really paying
attention if you really wake
up to the present moment it's fucking terrifying it's constantly moving nothing's
promised
everything that you've accomplished is gone and you're just in this and so if
you could just set
out a bunch of stupid tasks and like and like uh habits yeah you know and
whatever all ladies night
at whatever it is you know bowling and going to see that and now uh they've
turned there's this this
screen on your phone where you don't need to even choose what that is yeah uh
you just let this feed
just kind of keep you glazed over just serving and serving all night long and
uh and you get nobody's
even sleeping anymore and you just kind of go to this thing and you're just not
you're not feeling
nothing you're you're you're taking these are fake feelings these are fake
feelings in a safe
environment can't believe she did that right i can't believe he said what a
piece of shit why are they
getting on his case like all these just dumb things and like you know just
keeping it going it it used
to be that they used to call a thing clickbait where they they make something
so juicy that people
would click on it but nobody's clicking much anymore it's just it's just going
by it's just that feed
so they're just going like like this and and that's living now the thing i don't
understand is who's
benefiting because if everybody's doing this i don't know eight different
people are getting incredibly
rich and uh oh yeah and the rest of us are really going to turn into just and
the and the and the phone
is burning a circuit somewhere you know when your phone is doing that scroll
there's a there's a
physical thing that's there's like a little light that's burning somewhere like
in in north carolina
and like a data farm yeah this isn't this isn't like it's not in the phones not
really doing the work
there's something else that's making that there's a processor that's doing that
and take put it on the
cloud and bringing it to your phone but there's smoke going in the air hot
smoke every time you you
just go like this and everybody's doing this all the time oh in the in the
middle of the night i'll wake
up literally it's almost like i have to do it for like a minute so i can go
back to sleep i'm not
even joking i'll wake up i'll see like four things i'll be okay yeah yeah
racism murder yeah just to
get just as a blanket like yeah murder like a little yeah get you back to sleep
yeah someone's dead okay
good oh good a little bit of racism yeah finally i was gonna get a sip of water
but that'll that'll do
it no it's it's very bad for you and uh and it's such a lucrative addiction
yeah and people are are
are convinced that that's where they're going to go to convince people of what's
right and wrong
and that's where you sell stuff yeah so everyone just gave into it and uh it's
it's an un it's like
if we were all doing heroin but somebody somehow stopped calling it heroin uh
and and the the machines
that make that that make the run those processes are are going to get hotter
and hotter and ai and all
that stuff oh the data centers are getting crazy man yeah it's going to be nuts
there's i was reading an
article about uh in virginia they um they want to use farmland a lot for the
solar panel because the
companies that do data don't like they you know they have a style so they don't
want to be um
they don't want to burn coal you know they don't want to burn oil right because
it does yeah that
seems bad it seems not cool yeah so nuclear no problem all of a sudden like
that's no longer a problem
and uh and solar right but solar is like heavy so they've it takes a lot of
those things which are
made in china and uh they they pollute a lot just to make them the panels the
panels but anyway
in virginia there was this county where they're trying to get these panels out
because they're
putting them on the farmland so um in other words there used to be farm fields
right where the sun the
natural sun would touch the soil and make green for to eat and to make oxygen
it's like the most
perfect thing right and they're putting these fucking black panels on over the
flowers to catch the sun
and use it instead so you and i can doom scroll
and a lot of the um the data centers they're they're using up like a lot of the
water right
they're using up a lot of like power in places like they're monopoly and they're
building them
everywhere everywhere and it's happening fast and we started to look at well
like we're talking with
that sam altman guy he's a chat gbt's like started that right yeah and i was
saying well do you feel
like the earth could look like bring up that picture that we had it was like
the whole earth is covered
in panels and it's kind of what we see when we watch like star trek yes or like
doctor who i don't
know if you ever watched that show but like there's if you if you look at um
water towers like it used
to be you go into an old town like in the middle of kansas or something and
folks are still wearing
like cowboy hats they're still driving old gmc trucks with faded side panels
like going into a
place like that is very beautiful uh when you look at the water towers now
which these faded beautiful
big tanks in the sky they're crusted over with these cell uh cell phone uh
things you could
probably find an image like oh they attached them all to them yeah they're all
over and it's like um
they're they're completely covered in them now and it's very ugly and it feels
like a molt
like if you look at it it feels like there's just this weird and so when you
look at the the combination
of that with people on the streets staring into a rectangle of black of nothing
you know what i mean
a black rectangle yeah and everyone's just going like this and there's these
crusty things it makes it
feel like a like a creature in a way but it's not it's i don't think i don't
have some idea that it's
from the outside it's like something inside of us wanted so badly to not feel
or something it just
it started little like this feels good you know with looking at our screens
yeah or like television
first i mean it started with like theater maybe oh dioramas i remember remember
that sure yeah or like
stereo stereo uh photos yeah people used to hold up a thing you could see
fucking peeping tommen was
good yeah and like peep like a girl with like you know a little titties and
have heavy hips and you
put a nickel in that's where it started yeah porn is the whole thing but uh
that that thing became
let's all go to a movie theater and everybody would go sit in a theater
together or vaudeville and then
tv then we went home by ourselves to do it and it got you know you mean more
and more
and definitely gotten really used to it yeah it happened gradually but it's
become something really
fucking weird oh yeah i mean you're sitting there and you know you start to
notice when you look at
your screen and then when you'll come out of it you know but uh and you're
saying it's like a
molten like a crab like a shell yeah and they start to like get other like barnacles
and things on
barnacles it starts to a chance oh for sure it's barnacles of avoidance of like
love avoidance
yeah you know what i mean oh no
