00:07:39   corner me and that is the you know that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/459">TS</a>]

00:07:42   is that's very telling I think about it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/462">TS</a>]

00:07:45   all the time I thought about it this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/465">TS</a>]

00:07:47   morning huh [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/467">TS</a>]

00:07:48   I think about it in the context of this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/468">TS</a>]

00:07:51   the campaign to like I'm in a corner [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/471">TS</a>]

00:07:54   every day now and and yeah it'sit's um [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/474">TS</a>]

00:07:59   you and I have both experienced this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/479">TS</a>]

00:08:03   thing where we feel like on the one hand [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/483">TS</a>]

00:08:06   it's good to have external pressure on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/486">TS</a>]

00:08:09   the other hand we don't want external [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/489">TS</a>]

00:08:10   pressure but for me like external [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/490">TS</a>]

00:08:14   pressure is a real it's a big hit it it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/494">TS</a>]

00:08:16   is a an important component it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/496">TS</a>]

00:08:20   motivator [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/500">TS</a>]

00:08:21   yeah and thinking about the think about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/501">TS</a>]

00:08:24   that we use that phrase the crucible of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/504">TS</a>]

00:08:25   the studio the other thing is that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/505">TS</a>]

00:08:27   you're paying to be there there's extra [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/507">TS</a>]

00:08:30   increased ability because because now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/510">TS</a>]

00:08:37   you to sit there and feel bad i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/517">TS</a>]

00:08:39   pay to feel bad about things hey you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/519">TS</a>]

00:08:53   your last chance if you don't get this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/533">TS</a>]

00:08:56   done now like this is in some ways your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/536">TS</a>]

00:09:00   last chance you're going to end up and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/540">TS</a>]

00:09:04   not not only not getting this done but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/544">TS</a>]

00:09:06   then you that this dream is over [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/546">TS</a>]

00:09:09   uh-huh and you know and that was another [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/549">TS</a>]

00:09:12   thing that I got to the kind of rounded [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/552">TS</a>]

00:09:16   that corner off to because it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/556">TS</a>]

00:09:18   evidence that i did have a little time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/558">TS</a>]

00:09:21   my career wasn't going to be over if I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/561">TS</a>]

00:09:23   took another week or took another two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/563">TS</a>]

00:09:26   weeks and then Twitter and the internet [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/566">TS</a>]

00:09:30   and you know podcasting and all the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/570">TS</a>]

00:09:35   charging your phone other all the other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/575">TS</a>]

00:09:37   things came in and they and they had [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/577">TS</a>]

00:09:39   they also had you know there were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/579">TS</a>]

00:09:41   rewards to those things like my career [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/581">TS</a>]

00:09:44   at four there were a lot of musicians [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/584">TS</a>]

00:09:46   that were at my level in 2006-2007 that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/586">TS</a>]

00:09:50   kept making music but did not but their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/590">TS</a>]

00:09:52   careers didn't really continue because x [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/592">TS</a>]

00:09:56   times change and businessman but I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/596">TS</a>]

00:09:59   jumped you know I jumped from one nice [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/599">TS</a>]

00:10:01   flow to the next and jumped to another [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/601">TS</a>]

00:10:03   ice floe and another and and some of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/603">TS</a>]

00:10:08   that was was running from the corner but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/608">TS</a>]

00:10:11   it all it all produced new exciting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/611">TS</a>]

00:10:14   things and and so yeah I I you know we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/614">TS</a>]

00:10:18   talk about this all the time and I I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/618">TS</a>]

00:10:20   fast I'm out early fascinated by this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/620">TS</a>]

00:10:22   topic and to get back to what you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/622">TS</a>]

00:10:24   actually talking about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/624">TS</a>]

00:10:25   it's to me it's um it's such a dark car [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/625">TS</a>]

00:10:27   to try to understand well first of all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/627">TS</a>]

00:10:30   why anybody wants to make anything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/630">TS</a>]

00:10:31   really differs a lot from person to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/631">TS</a>]

00:10:34   person and whether that difference in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/634">TS</a>]

00:10:36   terms of the I despise that were in that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/636">TS</a>]

00:10:38   context motivated motivation inspiration [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/638">TS</a>]

00:10:40   but like what you think you'll get out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/640">TS</a>]

00:10:42   of having done it and it's one of those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/642">TS</a>]

00:10:44   weird things where you can look at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/644">TS</a>]

00:10:45   somebody who's very prolific and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/645">TS</a>]

00:10:48   successful and it is a little like Anna [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/648">TS</a>]

00:10:50   Karenina where you can look at somebody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/650">TS</a>]

00:10:52   who's doing it great and they're having [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/652">TS</a>]

00:10:54   a great time and people are enjoying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/654">TS</a>]

00:10:55   what they do and they're just you know I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/655">TS</a>]

00:10:57   have friends like this you just say they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/657">TS</a>]

00:10:58   just write all the time look at John [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/658">TS</a>]

00:10:59   Scalzi guy like he's such a cool guy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/659">TS</a>]

00:11:02   such a nice guy so prolific and so like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/662">TS</a>]

00:11:04   johnny on the spot to get involved in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/664">TS</a>]

00:11:06   anything like I really feel like I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/666">TS</a>]

00:11:08   learned a lot about being around that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/668">TS</a>]

00:11:09   guy on the cruise was really inspired [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/669">TS</a>]

00:11:11   actually inspiring to me but you won't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/671">TS</a>]

00:11:13   look at somebody like that you know of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/673">TS</a>]

00:11:15   course we're going to kill him but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/675">TS</a>]

00:11:16   because it's super frustrating that they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/676">TS</a>]

00:11:18   get so much done [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/678">TS</a>]

00:11:19   it's easy enough to look at somebody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/679">TS</a>]

00:11:20   where everything everything is clicking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/680">TS</a>]

00:11:21   on all cylinders and go well obviously [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/681">TS</a>]

00:11:23   that's the way to do it but there's like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/683">TS</a>]

00:11:25   10,000 ways to not do it and there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/685">TS</a>]

00:11:29   many multiple ways to not do it and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/689">TS</a>]

00:11:31   almost impossible sometimes to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/691">TS</a>]

00:11:33   understand why you're not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/693">TS</a>]

00:11:34   functioning a tenth of the level of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/694">TS</a>]

00:11:36   somebody else and part of that could be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/696">TS</a>]

00:11:38   pressure and I think of course the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/698">TS</a>]

00:11:39   obvious the elephant in the room is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/699">TS</a>]

00:11:41   pressure you start to put on yourself [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/701">TS</a>]

00:11:42   because now you make one makes an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/702">TS</a>]

00:11:44   impossible situation more impossible by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/704">TS</a>]

00:11:48   constantly raising the bar moving the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/708">TS</a>]

00:11:50   bar hiding the bar and and then that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/710">TS</a>]

00:11:53   just creates like self doubt and anxiety [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/713">TS</a>]

00:11:54   and all the other kinds of stuff that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/714">TS</a>]

00:11:56   make you totally uninterested in even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/716">TS</a>]

00:11:58   attempting something because you feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/718">TS</a>]

00:12:00   like I'm speaking for myself as somebody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/720">TS</a>]

00:12:01   who's getting later in life I don't this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/721">TS</a>]

00:12:04   is of all the things i'm most about this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/724">TS</a>]

00:12:06   is not the top of the list but one thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/726">TS</a>]

00:12:07   I do think about as well what if I do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/727">TS</a>]

00:12:09   make something that's not what everybody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/729">TS</a>]

00:12:10   was expecting and now they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/730">TS</a>]

00:12:12   disappointed and I wasted my time and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/732">TS</a>]

00:12:14   why do I bother in the first place [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/734">TS</a>]

00:12:15   I think that's kind of common feeling [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/735">TS</a>]

00:12:18   yeah i think so too i think so too and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/738">TS</a>]

00:12:20   and and panic definitely feeling I share [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/740">TS</a>]

00:12:23   I mean I'm talking about artists and art [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/743">TS</a>]

00:12:27   makers all the time now because that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/747">TS</a>]

00:12:29   you know that's the place i'm coming [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/749">TS</a>]

00:12:32   from as I'm talking to the city right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/752">TS</a>]

00:12:35   and and i keep saying like you don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/755">TS</a>]

00:12:37   need their they're not a they're not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/757">TS</a>]

00:12:40   they're not a unified group of people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/760">TS</a>]

00:12:42   that all work the same way and a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/762">TS</a>]

00:12:44   them don't want your attention they just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/764">TS</a>]

00:12:49   need they know they need to be left [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/769">TS</a>]

00:12:51   alone they need to live in a run-down [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/771">TS</a>]

00:12:55   places they need to that's part of their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/775">TS</a>]

00:12:58   thing that was definitely part of my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/778">TS</a>]

00:12:59   process and my thing and how do you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/779">TS</a>]

00:13:02   convince the city to preserve places [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/782">TS</a>]

00:13:06   that look to people driving by in their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/786">TS</a>]

00:13:09   Tesla's like abandoned or decaying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/789">TS</a>]

00:13:12   warehouses that could be replaced with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/792">TS</a>]

00:13:14   with big bright shiny things and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/794">TS</a>]

00:13:18   idea that in those in those dark places [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/798">TS</a>]

00:13:21   is where the culture of 10 years from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/801">TS</a>]

00:13:24   now is being germinated right and those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/804">TS</a>]

00:13:29   spaces are actually like key elements of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/809">TS</a>]

00:13:32   any real city and if you think of them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/812">TS</a>]

00:13:35   just as underused property and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/815">TS</a>]

00:13:40   there's and the problem is there's no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/820">TS</a>]

00:13:42   way to do an economic impact statement [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/822">TS</a>]

00:13:45   about about that about those spaces and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/825">TS</a>]

00:13:49   done that kind of mental space right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/829">TS</a>]

00:13:51   oh god yeah I you know if this is just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/831">TS</a>]

00:13:53   just occurring to me as a an emerging [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/833">TS</a>]

00:13:55   thought technology but if you think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/835">TS</a>]

00:13:57   about the role of implicit let's look [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/837">TS</a>]

00:14:00   for now it's limited to artists but roll [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/840">TS</a>]

00:14:02   limited all artists in a city what their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/842">TS</a>]

00:14:05   role ends up being in the city is very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/845">TS</a>]

00:14:09   good if you have true artist as in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/849">TS</a>]

00:14:11   people who are not just not just people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/851">TS</a>]

00:14:13   who are making you know are successful [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/853">TS</a>]

00:14:14   at making seashell art that people put [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/854">TS</a>]

00:14:16   in hotels but people who are actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/856">TS</a>]

00:14:17   exploring new ideas and new approaches [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/857">TS</a>]

00:14:21   and maybe aren't successful [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/861">TS</a>]

00:14:23   quote-unquote yet ice [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/863">TS</a>]

00:14:25   I feel like there's an analogy to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/865">TS</a>]

00:14:26   made where artists are in some ways the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/866">TS</a>]

00:14:31   city's children [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/871">TS</a>]

00:14:32   no not in terms of maturity but well you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/872">TS</a>]

00:14:35   know not strictly speaking but in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/875">TS</a>]

00:17:00   thinks it it has no provision for the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1020">TS</a>]

00:17:05   fact that hard scrabble is the that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1025">TS</a>]

00:17:11   the pool where ideas are really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1031">TS</a>]

00:17:13   generated and you know the the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1033">TS</a>]

00:17:17   mountain view cupertino idea that you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1037">TS</a>]

00:17:20   build it build a tower and you fill it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1040">TS</a>]

00:17:22   with young people from Stanford and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1042">TS</a>]

00:17:24   that's where the ideas are going to come [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1044">TS</a>]

00:17:27   from is one is it is like one vision of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1047">TS</a>]

00:17:31   the future but traditionally all those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1051">TS</a>]

00:17:35   ideas come from the all the all the real [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1055">TS</a>]

00:17:38   ideas that push progress come from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1058">TS</a>]

00:17:42   people that are in a corner right and a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1062">TS</a>]

00:17:45   and in that crucible and then they have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1065">TS</a>]

00:17:49   they have that flash that comes partly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1069">TS</a>]

00:17:51   because they're under pressure and just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1071">TS</a>]

00:17:53   being under pressure to make a hundred [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1073">TS</a>]

00:17:57   million dollars before you're 26 is not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1077">TS</a>]

00:18:00   really creative pressure right and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1080">TS</a>]

00:18:03   that's what that's purely just it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1083">TS</a>]

00:18:05   there's the the self-motivated component [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1085">TS</a>]

00:18:08   but then it's just competition your job [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1088">TS</a>]

00:18:09   to get there fast [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1089">TS</a>]

00:18:10   it's just ego pressure and that's why we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1090">TS</a>]

00:18:13   have that's why the Internet economy is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1093">TS</a>]

00:18:15   based so much on let's take that one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1095">TS</a>]

00:18:18   idea that somebody once had and and you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1098">TS</a>]

00:18:20   know and put a cat on it or you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1100">TS</a>]

00:18:23   let's like that lesson modify let's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1103">TS</a>]

00:18:26   modify this idea and modify it again and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1106">TS</a>]

00:18:29   just keep like grinding and and you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1109">TS</a>]

00:18:35   civilization ball forward it's just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1115">TS</a>]

00:18:38   trying to move the Prophet ball around [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1118">TS</a>]

00:18:39   right i mean on the way into town today [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1119">TS</a>]

00:18:49   jet parked on the tarmac and it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1129">TS</a>]

00:18:53   painted in basically tribal tattoo [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1133">TS</a>]

00:18:57   graphics and I'm like that's in you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1137">TS</a>]

00:19:07   Aboriginal cavea Polynesian neo [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1147">TS</a>]

00:19:10   polynesian tattoo a graphical stuff but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1150">TS</a>]

00:19:14   with no real ethnic aspect it's been you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1154">TS</a>]

00:19:18   know it's been taken out of context [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1158">TS</a>]

00:19:19   modified enough that it just looks like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1159">TS</a>]

00:19:21   pointy lines but that's where it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1161">TS</a>]

00:19:25   coming from and then and so I'm looking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1165">TS</a>]

00:19:26   at it I'm like is this like a is some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1166">TS</a>]

00:19:28   kind of red bowl thing or something and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1168">TS</a>]

00:19:38   going now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1178">TS</a>]

00:19:39   no there's some a Latin phrase that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1179">TS</a>]

00:19:44   basically like if some dough lower or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1184">TS</a>]

00:19:53   but you know even vice has enough [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1193">TS</a>]

00:19:54   self-awareness to if they were going to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1194">TS</a>]

00:19:58   make that joke it would have it would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1198">TS</a>]

00:20:03   blanket like a silver skull and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1203">TS</a>]

00:20:05   crossbones or something but this was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1205">TS</a>]

00:20:07   clearly somebody some person who got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1207">TS</a>]

00:20:10   rich and had a like a maxim magazine or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1210">TS</a>]

00:20:17   a lad mag [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1217">TS</a>]

00:20:23   world and this was not a small jet [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1223">TS</a>]

00:20:26   either you know it's a it's not like it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1226">TS</a>]

00:20:28   medium-sized like a Gulfstream yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1228">TS</a>]

00:20:32   somewhere in the citation gulfstream [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1232">TS</a>]

00:20:34   zone and this was their choice right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1234">TS</a>]

00:20:41   gonna make it look badass forget giant [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1241">TS</a>]

00:20:44   skateboard badass and you just know when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1244">TS</a>]

00:20:47   you got on board it was just gonna be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1247">TS</a>]

00:20:49   like it was gonna be like being inside [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1249">TS</a>]

00:20:52   the Hat of the guy from jam Iroquois [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1252">TS</a>]

00:20:56   about it i know exactly which could you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1256">TS</a>]

00:21:03   just climb in that like fake fur hat and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1263">TS</a>]

00:21:06   i'm just i'm driving past I'm just like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1266">TS</a>]

00:21:08   you know that's exactly that's exactly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1268">TS</a>]

00:21:10   the thing right i mean i was thinking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1270">TS</a>]

00:21:13   about I woke up this morning singing I'd [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1273">TS</a>]

00:21:15   like to buy the world to cook and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1275">TS</a>]

00:21:19   thought about it I'm like I still love [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1279">TS</a>]

00:21:21   that song it's a really nice song I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1281">TS</a>]

00:21:23   realized like well cokes are expensive [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1283">TS</a>]

00:21:27   in America but they're not very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1287">TS</a>]

00:21:28   expensive around the world but let's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1288">TS</a>]

00:21:30   assume that you can buy like over the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1290">TS</a>]

00:21:33   course of the earth the average price of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1293">TS</a>]

00:21:36   a coke let's just say it's 50 cents and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1296">TS</a>]

00:21:38   I think that's way higher [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1298">TS</a>]

00:21:40   I think that's way too high i think you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1300">TS</a>]

00:21:41   could probably get if you if you like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1301">TS</a>]

00:21:44   aggregated the cost of coke around the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1304">TS</a>]

00:21:45   world coke is probably three cents a cup [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1305">TS</a>]

00:21:47   but let's say it's 50 cents so there are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1307">TS</a>]

00:21:51   actually people lots of a handful but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1311">TS</a>]

00:21:54   lots of people lots of a handful who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1314">TS</a>]

00:21:57   could literally buy the world a coke [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1317">TS</a>]

00:21:59   they could buy a coke for every person [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1319">TS</a>]

00:22:02   in the world and pay for the logistics [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1322">TS</a>]

00:22:04   to supply that Coke to every person in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1324">TS</a>]

00:23:26   of graffiti that's happening that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1406">TS</a>]

00:23:30   sweeping the world that's causing our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1410">TS</a>]

00:23:31   cities to be so uninhabitable and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1411">TS</a>]

00:23:34   like that the the aesthetic of this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1414">TS</a>]

00:23:38   guy's airplane and the and what these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1418">TS</a>]

00:23:42   people in this little car are imagining [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1422">TS</a>]

00:23:45   is the is the is the real trouble here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1425">TS</a>]

00:23:48   the broken windows syndrome and you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1428">TS</a>]

00:23:53   there's there's just no awareness that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1433">TS</a>]

00:23:55   like I mean graffiti artists are are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1435">TS</a>]

00:23:58   exactly the people who are backed into a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1438">TS</a>]

00:24:00   corner and then produce something at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1440">TS</a>]

00:24:03   their best at the best graffiti work is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1443">TS</a>]

00:24:06   the is you know is up there with the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1446">TS</a>]

00:24:09   best art right and the the worst [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1449">TS</a>]

00:24:11   graffiti art like it is still speaking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1451">TS</a>]

00:24:14   in a language that most people don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1454">TS</a>]

00:24:16   that don't recognize it as a language [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1456">TS</a>]

00:24:18   don't understand what's happening over [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1458">TS</a>]

00:24:20   at but but there's a whole philosophy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1460">TS</a>]

00:24:22   behind a reclaiming the the Brutalism of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1462">TS</a>]

00:24:26   of the concrete public space we've we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1466">TS</a>]

00:24:31   have we've acquiesced to most of our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1471">TS</a>]

00:24:34   public space being on just bare concrete [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1474">TS</a>]

00:24:38   walls the way I talk about under freeway [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1478">TS</a>]

00:24:40   passes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1480">TS</a>]

00:24:41   and you know there's so much space in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1481">TS</a>]

00:24:43   the city that we just stood idly by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1483">TS</a>]

00:24:46   while big you know like big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1486">TS</a>]

00:24:50   infrastructure determined that what we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1490">TS</a>]

00:24:52   were going to look at was gray concrete [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1492">TS</a>]

00:24:54   and as you're driving around it's just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1494">TS</a>]

00:24:57   like you're gonna you're in a world of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1497">TS</a>]

00:24:58   great concrete and that's the that is an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1498">TS</a>]

00:25:02   aesthetic and it's an aesthetic that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1502">TS</a>]

00:25:05   practical but it's still a bit still a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1505">TS</a>]

00:25:07   powerful aesthetic and graffiti has a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1507">TS</a>]

00:25:11   whole philosophy or a whole you know a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1511">TS</a>]

00:25:13   its ideological in a way like we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1513">TS</a>]

00:25:16   reclaiming that space with color at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1516">TS</a>]

00:25:19   very least and here these guys are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1519">TS</a>]

00:27:05   was that really fruitful period of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1625">TS</a>]

00:27:07   Americans like letters we have the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1627">TS</a>]

00:27:27   play landed and they but both of those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1647">TS</a>]

00:27:31   guys my dad and his brother both have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1651">TS</a>]

00:27:35   told me many times that that play [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1655">TS</a>]

00:27:36   described their family and described [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1656">TS</a>]

00:27:41   their household in a way that no other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1661">TS</a>]

00:27:45   work before sentence and they both [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1665">TS</a>]

00:27:47   identified so strongly with it and I you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1667">TS</a>]

00:27:54   been trying to write his version of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1674">TS</a>]

00:27:57   long day's journey into night his whole [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1677">TS</a>]

00:27:59   life [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1679">TS</a>]

00:27:59   wow he sends me drafts of of plays that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1679">TS</a>]

00:28:06   childhood he's in his late eighties now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1686">TS</a>]

00:28:07   that's a sad [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1687">TS</a>]

00:28:09   well because those you know those guys [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1689">TS</a>]

00:28:11   were trying to make sense of the of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1691">TS</a>]

00:28:13   of the world they grew up in and this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1693">TS</a>]

00:28:17   was in it this was a one of those great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1697">TS</a>]

00:28:19   moments where a work of art landed and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1699">TS</a>]

00:28:23   it helped and helped my you know he'll [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1703">TS</a>]

00:28:28   come on little like a catharsis because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1708">TS</a>]

00:28:30   I mean like a classical sense that we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1710">TS</a>]

00:28:32   this is an instrument for me I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1712">TS</a>]

00:28:35   anytime you have something comes along [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1715">TS</a>]

00:28:36   that puts a name or a story on to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1716">TS</a>]

00:28:39   something you didn't think had a name or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1719">TS</a>]

00:28:40   a story go oh wow I really see myself in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1720">TS</a>]

00:28:44   this and you can only mean vs yeah and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1724">TS</a>]

00:28:46   that and I feel like they felt really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1726">TS</a>]

00:28:49   alone and isolated growing up it in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1729">TS</a>]

00:28:52   sense that they were living in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1732">TS</a>]

00:28:53   community middle-class community where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1733">TS</a>]

00:28:55   their friends didn't have these problems [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1735">TS</a>]

00:28:58   there in on that that's a that's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1738">TS</a>]

00:29:00   little bit of everybody's problem right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1740">TS</a>]

00:29:02   you never know what is happening behind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1742">TS</a>]

00:29:04   closed doors in your friends house [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1744">TS</a>]

00:29:14   think it changed them both and so as i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1754">TS</a>]

00:29:17   was in when i was 21 and trying to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1757">TS</a>]

00:29:19   understand my own life I would i read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1759">TS</a>]

00:29:23   that play and put and cast my father and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1763">TS</a>]

00:29:26   my uncle in it and it helped me you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1766">TS</a>]

00:29:29   it's a it's like a work of art that that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1769">TS</a>]

00:29:33   has kind of started to be threaded into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1773">TS</a>]

00:29:36   my family's sense of itself and so I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1776">TS</a>]

00:29:43   always try it on but I recognize it as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1783">TS</a>]

00:29:47   as more than just a like a seminal work [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1787">TS</a>]

00:29:50   it's you know there's a personal element [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1790">TS</a>]

00:29:52   to it because because my grandfather [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1792">TS</a>]

00:29:56   didn't wasn't it wasn't able to write [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1796">TS</a>]

00:30:08   for so much and and they they do so much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1808">TS</a>]

00:30:13   and it's never a thing that you can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1813">TS</a>]

00:30:16   properly put a price on and that's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1816">TS</a>]

00:30:21   that's a cliche to say but but it's um [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1821">TS</a>]

00:30:24   but it's something i'm just i'm thinking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1824">TS</a>]

00:30:27   about all the time like hey we we have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1827">TS</a>]

00:30:30   we have gone so far in that direction of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1830">TS</a>]

00:30:34   trying to figure out like well what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1834">TS</a>]

00:30:36   what's the value of angry birds the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1836">TS</a>]

00:30:41   value of angry birds is over April how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1841">TS</a>]

00:30:44   many people downloaded how many people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1844">TS</a>]

00:30:46   buy it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1846">TS</a>]

00:30:46   yeah and you know and and that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1846">TS</a>]

00:30:49   reckoned to be over a billion dollars [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1849">TS</a>]

00:30:51   and the value of eugene o'neill or the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1851">TS</a>]

00:30:56   value of Mick Jagger even you know is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1856">TS</a>]

00:31:03   reckons to be Mick Jagger is one of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1863">TS</a>]

00:31:07   richest rock stars in Britain with a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1867">TS</a>]

00:31:09   network worth of 200 million dollars or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1869">TS</a>]

00:31:12   something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1872">TS</a>]

00:31:12   which is one-fifth of the value of angry [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1872">TS</a>]

00:31:16   birds and you don't even care numbers [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1876">TS</a>]

00:31:21   are right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1881">TS</a>]

00:31:22   that's not a great statistic i'm going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1882">TS</a>]

00:31:23   to use that you know it's all five [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1883">TS</a>]

00:31:25   members of The Rolling Stones dealing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1885">TS</a>]

00:31:27   with angry birds they don't reach it the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1887">TS</a>]

00:31:29   other the other the other guys I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1889">TS</a>]

00:31:31   having Keith Richards is worth less [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1891">TS</a>]

00:31:32   because he had to spend all that money [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1892">TS</a>]

00:31:34   getting his blood replaced multiple [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1894">TS</a>]

00:31:36   times and then the other guys let's get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1896">TS</a>]

00:31:38   a date you get a day rate yeah they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1898">TS</a>]

00:31:40   just on salary but like the collected [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1900">TS</a>]

00:31:43   works of eugene o'neill has a value in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1903">TS</a>]

00:31:48   our culture of I can only imagine a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1908">TS</a>]

00:31:50   couple million dollars a few million [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1910">TS</a>]

00:31:53   dollars and a handful of millions of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1913">TS</a>]

00:31:56   dollars right spread over all the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1916">TS</a>]

00:32:00   his inheritors and so and so that is you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1920">TS</a>]

00:32:06   know that that's hard for me as I go out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1926">TS</a>]

00:32:08   into the city and say like yes we need [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1928">TS</a>]

00:32:12   to build transit absolutely we need to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1932">TS</a>]

00:32:15   build affordable housing absolutely we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1935">TS</a>]

00:32:17   need to provide clean water and work for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1937">TS</a>]

00:32:20   an equitable city but how do you also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1940">TS</a>]

00:32:23   put a value on on the the intangible [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1943">TS</a>]

00:32:29   things that make a place special and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1949">TS</a>]

00:32:32   that make us want to stay alive and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1952">TS</a>]

00:32:35   make us want to um you know that that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1955">TS</a>]

00:32:39   help us live in love and and without [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1959">TS</a>]

00:32:42   being able to attach a value to it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1962">TS</a>]

00:32:44   how can you advocate for it how can you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1964">TS</a>]

00:32:47   put it up against something else that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1967">TS</a>]

00:32:50   that you know is clamoring for this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1970">TS</a>]

00:32:53   those same resources even if those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1973">TS</a>]

00:32:54   resources are just lets leave this space [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1974">TS</a>]

00:32:58   alone or let's let's leave these people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1978">TS</a>]

00:33:01   alone [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1981">TS</a>]

00:33:02   it's a it's it's a real tangle and a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1982">TS</a>]

00:33:07   of people would say well let me just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1987">TS</a>]

00:33:09   clarify do you feel like you get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1989">TS</a>]

00:33:11   implicit pushback because you don't have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1991">TS</a>]

00:33:14   like an economical white paper on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1994">TS</a>]

00:33:16   value of artists you know 2001-2011 or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/1996">TS</a>]

00:33:20   something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2000">TS</a>]

00:33:20   well and the thing is you could make a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2000">TS</a>]

00:33:22   man there are lots of people who want to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2002">TS</a>]

00:33:24   make the argument that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2004">TS</a>]

00:33:25   artists bring it you know they put they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2005">TS</a>]

00:33:26   stick out their Clinton thumb and start [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2006">TS</a>]

00:33:28   wagging it and say Clinton i'm sorry/not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2008">TS</a>]

00:33:31   Clinton but the artists have brought in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2011">TS</a>]

00:33:33   over 270 4.6 million dollars into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2013">TS</a>]

00:33:37   seattle economy since march of 2011 is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2017">TS</a>]

00:33:41   like going into a you know that's shown [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2021">TS</a>]

00:33:43   up at a gunfight with a knife [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2023">TS</a>]

00:33:45   you know that's that's that's not going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2025">TS</a>]

00:33:46   to eat that's like the arguments not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2026">TS</a>]

00:33:47   gonna fly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2027">TS</a>]

00:33:48   well no the argument I mean I feel like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2028">TS</a>]

00:33:50   that argument does fly because people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2030">TS</a>]

00:33:52   love to hear numbers and they and they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2032">TS</a>]

00:33:54   not and they go oh yes it is it's an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2034">TS</a>]

00:33:56   industry just it's an industry [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2036">TS</a>]

00:33:58   equivalent to the industry of chroming [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2038">TS</a>]

00:34:02   uh hub caps and pipe and bumpers you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2042">TS</a>]

00:34:07   know like if you can package it is it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2047">TS</a>]

00:34:08   the numbers are what enables it to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2048">TS</a>]

00:34:10   packaged into something that can be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2050">TS</a>]

00:34:12   easily explained and understood right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2052">TS</a>]

00:34:13   right but no but what what what you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2053">TS</a>]

00:34:17   talking about there is the last artist [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2057">TS</a>]

00:34:19   right the people that made stuff that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2059">TS</a>]

00:34:23   generated money and we recognized their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2063">TS</a>]

00:34:26   value and we go the last artist made us [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2066">TS</a>]

00:34:29   to the last artists made 250 million [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2069">TS</a>]

00:34:31   dollars for Seattle that's what we do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2071">TS</a>]

00:34:33   support them but I'm always talking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2073">TS</a>]

00:34:35   about the next artists have made nothing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2075">TS</a>]

00:34:37   and you can't yet they have made no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2077">TS</a>]

00:34:40   money for you yet and you can't you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2080">TS</a>]

00:34:43   can't gauge their value by the their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2083">TS</a>]

00:34:46   potential money some of the best artists [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2086">TS</a>]

00:34:49   never make any money and we only [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2089">TS</a>]

00:34:52   recognized their value later but you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2092">TS</a>]

00:34:54   can't go into seattle public schools and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2094">TS</a>]

00:34:56   say and think of art education as job [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2096">TS</a>]

00:35:00   training which is how a lot of people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2100">TS</a>]

00:35:03   think about it and when that resource [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2103">TS</a>]

00:35:05   constraints really tighten its not happy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2105">TS</a>]

00:35:08   thing but it's somewhat natural thing to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2108">TS</a>]

00:35:10   go well you know we get these tests [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2110">TS</a>]

00:35:12   right and we got out there is not is not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2112">TS</a>]

00:35:14   a test on you know Braque and Picasso [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2114">TS</a>]

00:35:16   there is a test on the specific set of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2116">TS</a>]

00:35:20   mathematics jobs jobs jobs well and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2120">TS</a>]

00:35:22   what's crazy is for me like the idea of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2122">TS</a>]

00:35:27   teaching math because it will get you a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2127">TS</a>]

00:35:30   good job is is to I think that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2130">TS</a>]

00:35:35   like it like that disgusting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2135">TS</a>]

00:35:38   undervaluing of the importance of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2138">TS</a>]

00:35:40   learning math like when that becomes I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2140">TS</a>]

00:35:43   mean when that becomes the criteria [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2143">TS</a>]

00:35:45   which it is a lot of the time setting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2145">TS</a>]

00:35:46   apart the testing stuff when whether it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2146">TS</a>]

00:35:48   was when you start getting into the like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2148">TS</a>]

00:35:49   whether this gets you a job thing you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2149">TS</a>]

00:35:52   start to really sour a lot of what makes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2152">TS</a>]

00:35:54   education good in the first place i'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2154">TS</a>]

00:35:55   not just saying that as a liberal arts [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2155">TS</a>]

00:35:57   fruit but justjust even any of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2157">TS</a>]

00:35:59   intrinsic reasons why you won't might [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2159">TS</a>]

00:36:02   want to be a more rounded educated and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2162">TS</a>]

00:36:04   exposed to the world person starts to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2164">TS</a>]

00:36:07   fall away if that's your bar right well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2167">TS</a>]

00:36:09   and you think about what is math I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2169">TS</a>]

00:36:12   be the trade it you know it's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2172">TS</a>]

00:36:16   computer mattock computer maths are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2176">TS</a>]

00:36:18   attracted yeah but math i mean the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2178">TS</a>]

00:36:21   the many atheists listening to our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2181">TS</a>]

00:36:23   program who live in Brandenburg or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2183">TS</a>]

00:36:27   somewhere it around Lake balitaan and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2187">TS</a>]

00:36:30   hungry i know that they're out there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2190">TS</a>]

00:36:32   they're going to see the four doors from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2192">TS</a>]

00:36:34   here if they're going to objected this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2194">TS</a>]

00:36:35   but you know math is the language of God [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2195">TS</a>]

00:36:38   right it's that it's you look over God [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2198">TS</a>]

00:36:40   shoulder for a moment and I got you mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2200">TS</a>]

00:36:42   Richard Dawkins and by god I mean all of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2202">TS</a>]

00:36:45   the all of the uncaused causes all the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2205">TS</a>]

00:36:48   random reverse movers all the great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2208">TS</a>]

00:36:50   first movers all the negative numbers [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2210">TS</a>]

00:36:52   and and so you know it is it is both the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2212">TS</a>]

00:36:57   human thought technology math I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2217">TS</a>]

00:37:00   negative numbers right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2220">TS</a>]

00:37:02   it's a thought technology but also it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2222">TS</a>]

00:37:04   an uncovering it is a discovery of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2224">TS</a>]

00:37:06   thing it is a school discovery of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2226">TS</a>]

00:37:09   first principle and to equate that with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2229">TS</a>]

00:37:12   like to equate learning that with like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2232">TS</a>]

00:37:16   developing some skills that are really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2236">TS</a>]

00:37:18   going to help you later in life as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2238">TS</a>]

00:37:19   opposed to like should we not all be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2239">TS</a>]

00:37:22   thinking about this all the time should [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2242">TS</a>]

00:37:24   not math and higher math and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2244">TS</a>]

00:37:27   implications of math not be on our minds [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2247">TS</a>]

00:37:30   all the time because they they should be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2250">TS</a>]

00:37:33   we should be looking at everything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2253">TS</a>]

00:37:35   through a lens of math because it is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2255">TS</a>]

00:37:38   only reason that that the things we've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2258">TS</a>]

00:37:41   built our standing and it's the that as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2261">TS</a>]

00:37:44   far as i can tell the only coherent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2264">TS</a>]

00:37:48   like fabric to explain any kind of what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2268">TS</a>]

00:37:54   almost everything comes down to math [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2274">TS</a>]

00:37:57   right and that's it and it's a bit [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2277">TS</a>]

00:37:59   it's beautiful poetry and and and a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2279">TS</a>]

00:38:04   certain at the level of molecular [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2284">TS</a>]

00:38:06   biology or or a particle physics or you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2286">TS</a>]

00:38:09   know like it all is this unified theory [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2289">TS</a>]

00:38:13   that we're with that we've been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2293">TS</a>]

00:38:14   struggling to do to find are struggling [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2294">TS</a>]

00:38:16   to reconcile with gravity and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2296">TS</a>]

00:38:19   should be at a certain level like our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2299">TS</a>]

00:38:24   temple we should go to that all of us [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2304">TS</a>]

00:38:27   every week or every day and say wow who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2307">TS</a>]

00:38:31   we've really you know we've really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2311">TS</a>]

00:38:34   figured out a lot in recent memory [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2314">TS</a>]

00:38:36   just in the last hundred wherein also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2316">TS</a>]

00:38:39   refigured things out that's the other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2319">TS</a>]

00:38:40   just that's the neat thing about science [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2320">TS</a>]

00:38:41   that we are always trying to say like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2321">TS</a>]

00:38:45   did I get that right yeah let's keep [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2325">TS</a>]

00:38:47   checking that right and so then you go [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2327">TS</a>]

00:38:49   into the schools and you imagine like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2329">TS</a>]

00:38:52   all the constraints on people even ones [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2332">TS</a>]

00:38:54   who feel that poetry and go into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2334">TS</a>]

00:38:56   teaching full of that that poetry and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2336">TS</a>]

00:39:01   then you know requiring them to Governor [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2341">TS</a>]

00:39:05   to teach in prose and little by little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2345">TS</a>]

00:39:10   you just drain that poetry out of all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2350">TS</a>]

00:39:14   those experiences and kids are sitting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2354">TS</a>]

00:39:15   there and they're just like I'm in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2355">TS</a>]

00:39:17   prison and and it's almost unavoidable [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2357">TS</a>]

00:39:21   in the pressures from parents like is he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2361">TS</a>]

00:39:24   going to make it is she going to be a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2364">TS</a>]

00:40:54   good kind did I aspired to have a good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2454">TS</a>]

00:40:56   command of the problem was i guess like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2456">TS</a>]

00:40:58   couldn't keep from losing things or my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2458">TS</a>]

00:41:15   one of those around us that we secure it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2475">TS</a>]

00:41:17   comes to carry come around he does that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2477">TS</a>]

00:41:19   yea big come with the handle sticking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2479">TS</a>]

00:41:20   out and come on the one hand the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2480">TS</a>]

00:41:23   Cincinnati school system was a risk [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2483">TS</a>]

00:41:25   because it was terrific i mean you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2485">TS</a>]

00:41:26   is maybe this might have just been the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2486">TS</a>]

00:41:29   time and the place but whatever any case [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2489">TS</a>]

00:41:31   i can say is that making the jump to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2491">TS</a>]

00:41:32   then going to public school in Florida [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2492">TS</a>]

00:41:33   was a was a very different thing and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2493">TS</a>]

00:41:35   I've said this numerous times in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2495">TS</a>]

00:41:37   past and i don't mean to be disparaging [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2497">TS</a>]

00:41:38   because it's hard to do things but we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2498">TS</a>]

00:41:41   had a single vocational wheel a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2501">TS</a>]

00:41:44   generally anything like this but in sin [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2504">TS</a>]

00:41:45   ti I don't think we did I love that I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2505">TS</a>]

00:41:48   love it so far [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2508">TS</a>]

00:41:49   okay well this is this is a you know as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2509">TS</a>]

00:41:51   you like to say the sun coast of florida [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2511">TS</a>]

00:41:52   in nineteen so I didn't go to seventh [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2512">TS</a>]

00:41:55   grade in public schools but those who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2515">TS</a>]

00:41:57   did go to grips of sounds great in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2517">TS</a>]

00:41:59   junior high school so its seventh the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2519">TS</a>]

00:42:00   ninth grade you have all these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2520">TS</a>]

00:42:01   vocational tracks you have you how you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2521">TS</a>]

00:42:03   can take a health class you can take on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2523">TS</a>]

00:42:05   marketing you can take graphic arts or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2525">TS</a>]

00:42:08   that's called drafting back then you can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2528">TS</a>]

00:42:11   take wood shop you can take metal shop [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2531">TS</a>]

00:42:13   and so on and so forth and those were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2533">TS</a>]

00:42:15   really like you by eighth grade when I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2535">TS</a>]

00:42:17   went there you had to take at least one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2537">TS</a>]

00:42:19   of these trade classes now the year that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2539">TS</a>]

00:42:22   i missed the year before every seventh [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2542">TS</a>]

00:42:24   grader in at least in pasco county had [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2544">TS</a>]

00:42:26   to go through some of the complications [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2546">TS</a>]

00:42:26   wheel which is where you spent two weeks [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2546">TS</a>]

00:42:29   in each other vocational classes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2549">TS</a>]

00:42:32   Oh which on the one hand is a pretty [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2552">TS</a>]

00:42:34   brilliant idea because it's it's nice to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2554">TS</a>]

00:42:36   have exposure to all those who make a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2556">TS</a>]

00:42:37   lamp you make a toolbox you do all that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2557">TS</a>]

00:42:39   stuff you know you learn to sell pencils [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2559">TS</a>]

00:42:40   at the school store you learn to use a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2560">TS</a>]

00:42:42   t-square etc etc on the face with very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2562">TS</a>]

00:42:44   cool but I remember even then having the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2564">TS</a>]

00:42:47   feeling that I later greatly expanded as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2567">TS</a>]

00:42:49   I got older that you start we have the I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2569">TS</a>]

00:42:52   think we all have that day it comes at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2572">TS</a>]

00:42:54   different ages but you start to realize [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2574">TS</a>]

00:42:55   wow [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2575">TS</a>]

00:42:56   schools not just about teaching me math [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2576">TS</a>]

00:43:00   and english and science you know when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2580">TS</a>]

00:43:02   you're very young maybe you figure out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2582">TS</a>]

00:43:03   schools kind of about teaching me to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2583">TS</a>]

00:43:04   places on time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2584">TS</a>]

00:43:05   mmm stand in line but by the time it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2585">TS</a>]

00:43:08   gets really hairy because by the time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2588">TS</a>]

00:43:09   you get to junior high your before you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2589">TS</a>]

00:43:12   really transition into the whole like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2592">TS</a>]

00:43:13   your stuff you need to learn for college [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2593">TS</a>]

00:43:15   is this weird period we're almost [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2595">TS</a>]

00:43:16   everything you're exposed to in junior [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2596">TS</a>]

00:43:18   high is about following rules and not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2598">TS</a>]

00:43:21   becoming a burden on society [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2601">TS</a>]

00:43:22   yeah I think that's kind of what it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2602">TS</a>]

00:43:24   and I think we don't we don't say that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2604">TS</a>]

00:43:26   although we kind of realized that while [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2606">TS</a>]

00:43:27   place with good schools tend to have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2607">TS</a>]

00:43:29   better results isn't that a funny [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2609">TS</a>]

00:43:30   coincidence but I just remember feeling [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2610">TS</a>]

00:43:32   at the time that like in that instance I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2612">TS</a>]

00:43:34   you know and this is even still when we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2614">TS</a>]

00:43:37   had music classes this isn't even still [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2617">TS</a>]

00:43:39   when we had art classes which now are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2619">TS</a>]

00:43:41   kind of like little side things in our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2621">TS</a>]

00:43:42   public school not like a main thing you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2622">TS</a>]

00:43:44   don't get you don't get PE math or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2624">TS</a>]

00:43:47   excuse me okpe art and music every day [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2627">TS</a>]

00:43:48   it's something you go and do like an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2628">TS</a>]

00:43:51   assembly anyhow that was one thing that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2631">TS</a>]

00:43:53   really struck me and so I mean I not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2633">TS</a>]

00:43:57   that that's a bad thing put in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2637">TS</a>]

00:43:58   different way I should be feeling like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2638">TS</a>]

00:44:00   it was like a starlet felt Stalinist in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2640">TS</a>]

00:44:02   a sense of like everybody remember when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2642">TS</a>]

00:44:04   we were kids and you'd say like well you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2644">TS</a>]

00:44:06   know in the Soviet Union you get a test [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2646">TS</a>]

00:44:07   when you're 12 years old that decides [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2647">TS</a>]

00:44:08   what you do for the rest of your life [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2648">TS</a>]

00:44:09   right and i can remember feeling like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2649">TS</a>]

00:44:11   well this test message here is like all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2651">TS</a>]

00:44:14   the suburban kids that can pull it off [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2654">TS</a>]

00:44:15   and make it into algebra algebra algebra [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2655">TS</a>]

00:44:17   like we know they're going to be pretty [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2657">TS</a>]

00:44:19   ok we know what track their on what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2659">TS</a>]

00:44:21   about these other kids they're not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2661">TS</a>]

00:44:22   coming in as much like they need to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2662">TS</a>]

00:44:24   learn how to make a toolbox sweater a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2664">TS</a>]

00:44:27   pencil pencil holder [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2667">TS</a>]

00:44:28   yeah so anyway I don't give me thoughts [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2668">TS</a>]

00:44:30   on that but that that was a thought that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2670">TS</a>]

00:44:32   occurred to me but the larger larger [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2672">TS</a>]

00:44:34   point I want to get the part two is and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2674">TS</a>]

00:44:36   I'm gonna play the race card a little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2676">TS</a>]

00:44:38   bit when we talk about things like is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2678">TS</a>]

00:44:41   this a community that is friendly to art [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2681">TS</a>]

00:44:43   and artists is this a community where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2683">TS</a>]

00:44:45   there's enough is enough room in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2685">TS</a>]

00:44:49   lower middle class for people to come in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2689">TS</a>]

00:44:51   here without having a full-time you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2691">TS</a>]

00:44:53   about having a typical career bases full [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2693">TS</a>]

00:44:55   time job and do interesting things you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2695">TS</a>]

00:44:58   know how you put a value on that what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2698">TS</a>]

00:45:00   you're struggling with that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2700">TS</a>]

00:45:01   how do you here's the thing though how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2701">TS</a>]

00:45:02   do you put a value on diversity and bite [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2702">TS</a>]

00:45:05   I mean do I mean every kind of diversity [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2705">TS</a>]

00:45:07   right i think the first kind diversity [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2707">TS</a>]

00:45:09   is are you around people that are not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2709">TS</a>]

00:45:11   your same race and gender but are you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2711">TS</a>]

00:45:14   also around are you around people that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2714">TS</a>]

00:45:16   are different differing economic classes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2716">TS</a>]

00:45:18   and backgrounds have more locked in or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2718">TS</a>]

00:45:21   less locked in futures you know what i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2721">TS</a>]

00:45:23   mean and i guess i feel like in this in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2723">TS</a>]

00:45:26   the same way maybe as the artist issue [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2726">TS</a>]

00:45:30   is this deeper issue of well we don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2730">TS</a>]

00:45:33   really notice diversity until it's gone [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2733">TS</a>]

00:45:35   until it's quote-unquote like under [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2735">TS</a>]

00:45:37   control but i can tell you times the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2737">TS</a>]

00:45:39   donuts that moving to this town has a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2739">TS</a>]

00:45:41   white guy in a nation neighborhood in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2741">TS</a>]

00:45:43   1999 they were a lot more black people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2743">TS</a>]

00:45:46   living in the entire Bay Area I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2746">TS</a>]

00:45:49   they're still people in oakland but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2749">TS</a>]

00:45:50   knowing you know less let's get this get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2750">TS</a>]

00:45:52   more expensive too but like the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2752">TS</a>]

00:45:53   diversity is people at the money can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2753">TS</a>]

00:45:57   afford to come in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2757">TS</a>]

00:45:58   okay i'm gonna be kind of simple for a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2758">TS</a>]

00:46:01   minute but the people who can afford to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2761">TS</a>]

00:46:02   come in push-up the other people and now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2762">TS</a>]

00:46:04   it is why people pushing out why people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2764">TS</a>]

00:46:05   like it's becoming and you know any of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2765">TS</a>]

00:46:08   the any of the weather your personal [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2768">TS</a>]

00:46:09   color or not but it is the appt class is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2769">TS</a>]

00:46:11   moving in let's make no mistake about it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2771">TS</a>]

00:46:12   its people in finance and people in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2772">TS</a>]

00:46:14   ventura county funded companies and big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2774">TS</a>]

00:46:17   corporations but it is certainly not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2777">TS</a>]

00:46:19   becoming more interesting and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2779">TS</a>]

00:46:21   certainly not becoming more diverse and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2781">TS</a>]

00:46:23   it's certainly it's a lot of people who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2783">TS</a>]

00:46:25   are doing things like making the house [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2785">TS</a>]

00:46:27   that somebody else was thrown out of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2787">TS</a>]

00:46:28   turns into a condo and now the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2788">TS</a>]

00:46:30   restaurants the bars around there get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2790">TS</a>]

00:46:31   much moved out because they're making [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2791">TS</a>]

00:46:33   too much noise and so I don't have a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2793">TS</a>]

00:46:35   unified field theory here but like in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2795">TS</a>]

00:46:36   the same way i've seen this in with work [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2796">TS</a>]

00:46:38   I've done in the past there was a time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2798">TS</a>]

00:46:39   when the value of user experience [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2799">TS</a>]

00:46:42   was thought of as just you know spray on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2802">TS</a>]

00:46:45   usability you just go in and make some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2805">TS</a>]

00:46:46   changes blah blah you guys go do your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2806">TS</a>]

00:46:47   coloring and now you realize you don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2807">TS</a>]

00:46:49   understand this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2809">TS</a>]

00:46:50   the difference being a good experience [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2810">TS</a>]

00:46:51   with an airline a bad experience with an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2811">TS</a>]

00:46:53   airline even just based on their website [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2813">TS</a>]

00:46:55   will completely change your feeling [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2815">TS</a>]

00:46:56   about the company you're feeling if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2816">TS</a>]

00:46:58   you're if you are an artist and a person [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2818">TS</a>]

00:46:59   of color and you come into a town you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2819">TS</a>]

00:47:01   gonna know in 10 minutes how welcome you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2821">TS</a>]

00:47:02   are there and whether that's a place [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2822">TS</a>]

00:47:04   where you can make a life so I don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2824">TS</a>]

00:47:07   know how you quantify that except by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2827">TS</a>]

00:47:08   saying having that having some kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2828">TS</a>]

00:47:10   diversity as much as the economy and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2830">TS</a>]

00:47:12   people compare like makes it a better [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2832">TS</a>]

00:47:14   place [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2834">TS</a>]

00:47:15   well the the the tendency are on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2835">TS</a>]

00:47:19   west coast and I think this is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2839">TS</a>]

00:47:20   tendency increasingly everywhere is to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2840">TS</a>]

00:47:23   practice liberalism in a in a very sort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2843">TS</a>]

00:47:29   of well to practice lip-service [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2849">TS</a>]

00:47:32   liberalism right and what that ends up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2852">TS</a>]

00:47:35   looking like is that diversity is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2855">TS</a>]

00:47:38   welcomed as long as it's within the well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2858">TS</a>]

00:47:43   as long as it's within the confines of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2863">TS</a>]

00:47:44   bourgeois values and culture right so we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2864">TS</a>]

00:47:50   welcome all people into our bushwa [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2870">TS</a>]

00:47:53   envelope of values what we do not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2873">TS</a>]

00:47:57   understand how to do is to provide [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2877">TS</a>]

00:48:02   opportunities for people who are not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2882">TS</a>]

00:48:06   trying to who you know who are trying to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2886">TS</a>]

00:48:08   move into a booj wall state but who are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2888">TS</a>]

00:48:13   at literally struggling to survive or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2893">TS</a>]

00:48:17   literally struggling to just you know to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2897">TS</a>]

00:48:20   remain right just to remain in place and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2900">TS</a>]

00:48:24   not be displaced from their own homes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2904">TS</a>]

00:48:27   and communities and so Seattle has a has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2907">TS</a>]

00:48:31   a great record of diversity in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2911">TS</a>]

00:48:36   government diversity and you know in in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2916">TS</a>]

00:48:39   the in like public hiring and I mean we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2919">TS</a>]

00:48:42   we have tried and tried and tried to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2922">TS</a>]

00:48:45   live up to our own standards [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2925">TS</a>]

00:48:50   but we still don't understand how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2930">TS</a>]

00:48:52   important it is that neighborhoods [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2932">TS</a>]

00:48:55   remain intact or that they're you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2935">TS</a>]

00:48:57   that for a young white artists living on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2937">TS</a>]

00:49:01   Capitol Hill the experiences incredibly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2941">TS</a>]

00:49:03   different than that from that of a young [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2943">TS</a>]

00:49:06   black artist living in the central [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2946">TS</a>]

00:49:08   district and you know that that feeling [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2948">TS</a>]

00:49:11   of like great work comes from being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2951">TS</a>]

00:49:13   backed into a corner but there's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2953">TS</a>]

00:49:15   certain point where you're backed into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2955">TS</a>]

00:49:17   the corner and and either under threat [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2957">TS</a>]

00:49:20   of violence or just right you can't you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2960">TS</a>]

00:49:23   know like there is no corner for you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2963">TS</a>]

00:49:25   because it's um you know you're backed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2965">TS</a>]

00:49:29   into an i think that distinction is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2969">TS</a>]

00:49:31   utterly lost on some people that there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2971">TS</a>]

00:49:32   is a distinction between having a place [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2972">TS</a>]

00:49:34   where you can struggle to make friends [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2974">TS</a>]

00:49:36   don't make it and a place where the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2976">TS</a>]

00:49:37   typical rent is five times what anybody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2977">TS</a>]

00:49:40   could ever scrape together [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2980">TS</a>]

00:49:41   yeah really big difference and and just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2981">TS</a>]

00:49:43   you know I think a lot of a lot of white [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2983">TS</a>]

00:49:45   kids who are making art and music like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2985">TS</a>]

00:49:47   schlep around in the town and they you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2987">TS</a>]

00:49:50   know and they they walked from dark [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2990">TS</a>]

00:49:52   doorway to dark doorway and they feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2992">TS</a>]

00:49:54   like they are living a rough and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2994">TS</a>]

00:49:57   living a dangerous downtown life and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/2997">TS</a>]

00:50:01   that informs their art and character but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3001">TS</a>]

00:50:04   when the police slowly cruise by and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3004">TS</a>]

00:50:08   look them up and down and they stand [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3008">TS</a>]

00:50:11   there in their dark door when they go on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3011">TS</a>]

00:50:12   man the fucking cops just scoped me fuck [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3012">TS</a>]

00:50:15   those guys [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3015">TS</a>]

00:50:16   the difference is that they kept the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3016">TS</a>]

00:50:18   cops kept driving right they scoped them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3018">TS</a>]

00:50:21   they gave him a dirty look [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3021">TS</a>]

00:50:23   scumbags and but they kept driving and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3023">TS</a>]

00:50:26   the and the young white artist feels [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3026">TS</a>]

00:50:28   like oh you know i'm i'm the grit of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3028">TS</a>]

00:50:32   city is really informing my views and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3032">TS</a>]

00:51:46   you do have a an increasingly bushwa art [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3106">TS</a>]

00:51:50   culture where the people who are able to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3110">TS</a>]

00:51:52   make it through are the ones that in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3112">TS</a>]

00:52:12   things then and they are embittered and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3132">TS</a>]

00:52:16   rightfully so and having that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3136">TS</a>]

00:52:19   conversation with with the city at large [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3139">TS</a>]

00:52:21   particularly in a world where people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3141">TS</a>]

00:52:23   want to say look the market is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3143">TS</a>]

00:52:27   market it's it's just what it is it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3147">TS</a>]

00:52:30   not a there's no malice attached to it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3150">TS</a>]

00:52:33   it's just a natural system that's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3153">TS</a>]

00:52:36   privileged well and and and in a way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3156">TS</a>]

00:52:40   like I mean I hear that from from all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3160">TS</a>]

00:52:43   walks of life the idea that we have set [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3163">TS</a>]

00:52:46   in motion a system which is organic that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3166">TS</a>]

00:52:51   the market is just humans and the end [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3171">TS</a>]

00:52:56   its and in a way it's just it's just a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3176">TS</a>]

00:52:59   language we've given ourselves to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3179">TS</a>]

00:53:01   express our natural desire to trade who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3181">TS</a>]

00:53:06   or whatever and so this you know this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3186">TS</a>]

00:53:08   rampant and and at with no awareness or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3188">TS</a>]

00:53:12   less awareness of the fact that it's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3192">TS</a>]

00:53:14   the market is rigged all every step of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3194">TS</a>]

00:53:16   the way that that's what I mean when I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3196">TS</a>]

00:53:17   say privilege I didn't mean to use that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3197">TS</a>]

00:53:18   the code word but you know I'm becoming [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3198">TS</a>]

00:53:21   more I guess sensitive in some ways to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3201">TS</a>]

00:53:23   that in myself and in singing in others [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3203">TS</a>]

00:53:25   but in the case of somebody who's that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3205">TS</a>]

00:53:27   economically privileged you know folks [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3207">TS</a>]

00:53:29   with a lot of money biggest problem they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3209">TS</a>]

00:53:32   face is losing some of their lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3212">TS</a>]

00:53:33   money so in a down economy where things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3213">TS</a>]

00:53:36   go wrong so in and up economy they get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3216">TS</a>]

00:53:39   to go hey hey market right and you say [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3219">TS</a>]

00:53:41   well of course this is the market to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3221">TS</a>]

00:53:42   market is a market because I'm just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3222">TS</a>]

00:53:44   benefiting from this completely natural [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3224">TS</a>]

00:53:46   thing because we can all agree on cheese [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3226">TS</a>]

00:53:47   this is what the market is the market is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3227">TS</a>]

00:53:49   that I get lots of money because things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3229">TS</a>]

00:53:50   are going great right and then when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3230">TS</a>]

00:53:52   things go less great they still can find [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3232">TS</a>]

00:53:54   a way to get by and that's not because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3234">TS</a>]

00:53:56   they're brilliant is because they have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3236">TS</a>]

00:53:58   lots of money and connections and but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3238">TS</a>]

00:53:59   that is even though that is the elephant [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3239">TS</a>]

00:54:01   in the room [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3241">TS</a>]

00:54:05   you try to point that out to somebody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3245">TS</a>]

00:54:06   because everybody thinks their life is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3246">TS</a>]

00:54:12   about it but it is it's a little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3252">TS</a>]

00:54:14   disingenuous to call it just the market [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3254">TS</a>]

00:54:16   when there's all kinds of things like me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3256">TS</a>]

00:54:18   might be getting subsidies or tax [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3258">TS</a>]

00:54:20   ways that you can you can game the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3260">TS</a>]

00:54:22   system and then still call it the market [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3262">TS</a>]

01:00:22   the room have done independently then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3622">TS</a>]

01:00:24   they decided to endorse you or not and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3624">TS</a>]

01:00:26   that endorsement is either valuable or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3626">TS</a>]

01:00:28   not depending on how many of them you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3628">TS</a>]

01:00:30   can rack up and whether or not you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3630">TS</a>]

01:00:40   to the candidates for 30 minutes but the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3640">TS</a>]

01:00:42   candidates have to run all around town [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3642">TS</a>]

01:00:44   and all basically together in a pack IC [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3644">TS</a>]

01:00:47   IC the people i'm running against now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3647">TS</a>]

01:00:49   every day and we're all standing there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3649">TS</a>]

01:00:51   giving our one-minute speech and we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3651">TS</a>]

01:00:53   don't we're not really inclined to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3653">TS</a>]

01:00:57   chummy with each other we are complete [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3657">TS</a>]

01:00:59   competing but really where the only [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3659">TS</a>]

01:01:01   other people that know what this feels [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3661">TS</a>]

01:01:03   like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3663">TS</a>]

01:01:04   so you stand there and you look at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3664">TS</a>]

01:01:05   you look at your opponent with I mean I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3665">TS</a>]

01:01:08   i look at them with sympathy in my eyes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3668">TS</a>]

01:01:09   and just go like how you holding up you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3669">TS</a>]

01:01:12   know is everything fine and they kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3672">TS</a>]

01:01:14   just give me the like uncomfortable like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3674">TS</a>]

01:01:17   oh hello weird handshake and I'm like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3677">TS</a>]

01:01:20   seriously though I mean this is really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3680">TS</a>]

01:01:22   hard and they're like mmm and then they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3682">TS</a>]

01:01:24   get up and make the Clinton thumb and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3684">TS</a>]

01:01:26   give the speech and and i give this i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3686">TS</a>]

01:01:30   give my you know I can't have very still [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3690">TS</a>]

01:01:33   distant still working on them because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3693">TS</a>]

01:01:35   still doesn't like to give a wonderful [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3695">TS</a>]

01:01:37   learning the chorus [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3697">TS</a>]

01:01:38   yeah and-and-and I watch it and i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3698">TS</a>]

01:01:41   from the outside [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3701">TS</a>]

01:01:43   this seems like a conspiracy right you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3703">TS</a>]

01:01:47   have to do these things these people are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3707">TS</a>]

01:01:50   all insiders they are you know the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3710">TS</a>]

01:01:54   logic of it from outside the system is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3714">TS</a>]

01:01:57   there just voting for their friends no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3717">TS</a>]

01:02:00   new blood can never get through here you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3720">TS</a>]

01:02:02   know this is how we think of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3722">TS</a>]

01:02:03   political system right yeah but from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3723">TS</a>]

01:02:06   inside it I see like what a hodgepodge [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3726">TS</a>]

01:02:12   of accident it is you know and how this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3732">TS</a>]

01:02:15   is a these meetings are kind of like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3735">TS</a>]

01:02:19   vestigial version of the town meetings [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3739">TS</a>]

01:02:22   of old New England you know then and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3742">TS</a>]

01:02:25   the people there are really proud of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3745">TS</a>]

01:02:27   participating in the democratic process [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3747">TS</a>]

01:02:29   and the degree to which this isn't very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3749">TS</a>]

01:02:33   democratic and all and then ultimately [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3753">TS</a>]

01:02:35   the decision is being made by a vote of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3755">TS</a>]

01:02:38   25 people whether or not to endorse one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3758">TS</a>]

01:02:42   of these candidates and 25 people or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3762">TS</a>]

01:02:44   however many voting not to be too [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3764">TS</a>]

01:02:47   dismissive but really based on like at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3767">TS</a>]

01:02:49   who presents well given the context menu [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3769">TS</a>]

01:02:52   that's a microcosm of a much bigger dog [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3772">TS</a>]

01:02:55   and pony show but really to decide that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3775">TS</a>]

01:02:58   based on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3778">TS</a>]

01:02:58   I mean is it really just that appearance [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3778">TS</a>]

01:03:00   there's no like white paper or anything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3780">TS</a>]

01:03:02   like that you just go in like that how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3782">TS</a>]

01:03:04   they like the horse flash after 60 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3784">TS</a>]

01:03:05   seconds they can you know they can go [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3785">TS</a>]

01:03:07   online and do as much research as they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3787">TS</a>]

01:03:08   want but there but that's not it does [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3788">TS</a>]

01:03:11   not appear to meet some of the people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3791">TS</a>]

01:03:13   know but some of them are just this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3793">TS</a>]

01:03:16   there this is their moment and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3796">TS</a>]

01:03:18   moment that one minute of you speaking [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3798">TS</a>]

01:03:19   to them is more than most voters know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3799">TS</a>]

01:03:24   about candidates right yeah most voters [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3804">TS</a>]

01:03:26   do not even see a minute of them and so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3806">TS</a>]

01:03:29   it does not like so many things in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3809">TS</a>]

01:03:33   public life it doesn't feel like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3813">TS</a>]

01:03:35   conspiracy once you're there but the end [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3815">TS</a>]

01:03:37   result of it looks like the product of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3817">TS</a>]

01:03:42   conspiracy because the only people that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3822">TS</a>]

01:03:44   really can make it all the way through [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3824">TS</a>]

01:03:46   this hazing and make it you know and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3826">TS</a>]

01:03:50   go through all of these things and do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3830">TS</a>]

01:03:52   this effectively are people who are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3832">TS</a>]

01:03:55   either very practiced in the art of it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3835">TS</a>]

01:03:57   or who have a lot of pre-existing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3837">TS</a>]

01:04:01   relationships with those 25 people in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3841">TS</a>]

01:04:04   the room because they are longtime [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3844">TS</a>]

01:04:06   democratic party our operatives [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3846">TS</a>]

01:04:08   themselves or people who have enough [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3848">TS</a>]

01:04:11   money that they can bypass that process [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3851">TS</a>]

01:04:14   entirely and appeal directly to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3854">TS</a>]

01:04:16   people with like i'll buy the world a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3856">TS</a>]

01:04:18   coke vote for me and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3858">TS</a>]

01:04:24   fascinating to see like I wouldn't even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3864">TS</a>]

01:04:27   describe the process has broken its just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3867">TS</a>]

01:04:31   built its just built out of its like so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3871">TS</a>]

01:04:36   it's like all those buildings in Greece [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3876">TS</a>]

01:04:38   where people were you know people in 400 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3878">TS</a>]

01:04:42   AD or like we need to build a house [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3882">TS</a>]

01:04:45   let's go take some of those rocks from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3885">TS</a>]

01:04:47   the foundation of that old building and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3887">TS</a>]

01:04:50   they rebuilt the house out of blocks [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3890">TS</a>]

01:04:53   from the Parthenon and then that house [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3893">TS</a>]

01:04:56   burned down and somebody said let's take [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3896">TS</a>]

01:04:57   those old burn rocks and build a fence [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3897">TS</a>]

01:05:00   out of them and pretty soon you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3900">TS</a>]

01:05:03   somebody added onto the fence and it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3903">TS</a>]

01:05:05   became a little bit of a castle and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3905">TS</a>]

01:05:07   they put people on it and called it a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3907">TS</a>]

01:05:09   church and it's like it now we walk in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3909">TS</a>]

01:05:14   and it's a cellphone store on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3914">TS</a>]

01:05:17   outskirts of Athens and you're like wow [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3917">TS</a>]

01:05:19   this cell phone store is really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3919">TS</a>]

01:05:20   interesting and you know I don't up at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3920">TS</a>]

01:05:24   the bottom there are blocks from the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3924">TS</a>]

01:05:26   Parthenon and that that and being part [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3926">TS</a>]

01:05:30   of that processes is thrilling and an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3930">TS</a>]

01:05:33   interesting but it's like it is really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3933">TS</a>]

01:05:37   impenetrable and has been and is an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3937">TS</a>]

01:05:42   exhausting and also is like it's causing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3942">TS</a>]

01:05:46   my stomach to churn all the time because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3946">TS</a>]

01:05:49   that reformer in me and I listened to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3949">TS</a>]

01:05:53   people all around me say like we need [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3953">TS</a>]

01:05:55   reform up but they don't but they don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3955">TS</a>]

01:05:58   even appear to stew to recognize like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3958">TS</a>]

01:06:01   like ruffle reform who would how would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3961">TS</a>]

01:06:06   you even begin like all of these all the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3966">TS</a>]

01:06:08   people in these meetings are like they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3968">TS</a>]

01:06:10   really are doing there that they are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3970">TS</a>]

01:06:17   participating with good intent with the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3977">TS</a>]

01:06:20   best intentions and it's so crazy how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3980">TS</a>]

01:06:26   how large groups of people all working [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3986">TS</a>]

01:06:31   with the best intentions can produce [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3991">TS</a>]

01:06:33   results that are so far from what we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3993">TS</a>]

01:06:37   would have met [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3997">TS</a>]

01:06:37   engine were where our best effort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/3997">TS</a>]

01:06:40   through I guess is that is what is what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4000">TS</a>]

01:06:44   becomes like so clear and why I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4004">TS</a>]

01:06:48   every single person i've met on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4008">TS</a>]

01:06:49   campaign trail I haven't met a single [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4009">TS</a>]

01:06:50   contemptible person they're all they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4010">TS</a>]

01:06:53   all really interested and really trying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4013">TS</a>]

01:06:55   to make a difference and you know they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4015">TS</a>]

01:06:58   have varying ideas and ideologies but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4018">TS</a>]

01:07:01   they're all people of good will from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4021">TS</a>]

01:07:05   across the whole spectrum of people and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4025">TS</a>]

01:07:08   yet they are complicit everyday in these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4028">TS</a>]

01:07:12   small incremental compromises that are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4032">TS</a>]

01:07:16   not compromises of like well that's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4036">TS</a>]

01:07:18   good idea and that's a good idea let's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4038">TS</a>]

01:07:20   compromise their compromises like well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4040">TS</a>]

01:07:21   what can we get done in a minute and you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4041">TS</a>]

01:07:24   know and what and you know and we've got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4044">TS</a>]

01:07:26   four more of these to do today so you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4046">TS</a>]

01:07:30   know that kind of stuff we're just like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4050">TS</a>]

01:07:31   well we're building this is we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4051">TS</a>]

01:07:33   actually building a civilization out of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4053">TS</a>]

01:07:35   these parts out of these 1-minute [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4055">TS</a>]

01:07:37   increments and that's hard to explain in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4057">TS</a>]

01:07:42   a minute [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4062">TS</a>]

01:07:43   it's very hard to explain in a minute I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4063">TS</a>]

01:07:45   think I probably just took at least four [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4065">TS</a>]

01:07:47   maybe that's what this is for this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4067">TS</a>]

01:07:49   your this is your venue for that but you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4069">TS</a>]

01:07:52   know it's your it's frank is I think I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4072">TS</a>]

01:07:55   think of the way what it's like to be a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4075">TS</a>]

01:07:58   candidate right and it seems like a big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4078">TS</a>]

01:08:00   part of it is you know people are gonna [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4080">TS</a>]

01:08:02   expect as I've always guests anyway all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4082">TS</a>]

01:08:04   along is that like the sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4084">TS</a>]

01:08:05   customer's always right approach of like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4085">TS</a>]

01:08:07   you gotta listen and you know so forth [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4087">TS</a>]

01:08:09   and they you know add something I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4089">TS</a>]

01:08:14   you and I share is that sometimes we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4094">TS</a>]

01:08:15   reject the argument somebody wants to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4095">TS</a>]

01:08:17   have because we can't agree on the terms [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4097">TS</a>]

01:08:18   of the argument like I can't argue with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4098">TS</a>]

01:08:20   that about that because you're trying to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4100">TS</a>]

01:08:22   rig this and like in order for me to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4102">TS</a>]

01:08:24   have this argument with you we would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4104">TS</a>]

01:08:25   first have to have a pre argument right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4105">TS</a>]

01:08:27   tell you why I disagree on the terms of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4107">TS</a>]

01:08:29   what you're saying and I might be able [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4109">TS</a>]

01:08:31   to propose a better argument for me to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4111">TS</a>]

01:08:33   have the first have to do you know what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4113">TS</a>]

01:08:35   I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4115">TS</a>]

01:08:35   mhm I think that's at that must be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4115">TS</a>]

01:08:37   incredibly frustrating because I i feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4117">TS</a>]

01:08:39   i do that all the time also hey wait a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4119">TS</a>]

01:08:40   minute you would have argued about this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4120">TS</a>]

01:08:42   thing and it is making sense we we've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4122">TS</a>]

01:08:44   got to have a better argument than this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4124">TS</a>]

01:08:45   but let's let's have let's have it let's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4125">TS</a>]

01:08:47   have an honest [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4127">TS</a>]

01:08:48   normal discussion about something but it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4128">TS</a>]

01:08:50   cannot be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4130">TS</a>]

01:08:51   thanks for trying to say is if people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4131">TS</a>]

01:08:52   come to you and they present you with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4132">TS</a>]

01:08:53   some kind of half banana balls idea [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4133">TS</a>]

01:08:55   about like how the world is you know how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4135">TS</a>]

01:08:58   do you respond to that without sounding [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4138">TS</a>]

01:08:59   like you're pushing back [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4139">TS</a>]

01:09:00   yeah or or even if somebody is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4140">TS</a>]

01:09:04   good-hearted saying like we need reform [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4144">TS</a>]

01:09:05   and you're like okay we'll give me an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4145">TS</a>]

01:09:07   idea what reform looks like right and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4147">TS</a>]

01:09:11   and and everybody has a different sense [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4151">TS</a>]

01:09:13   of what the problem is i mean this we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4153">TS</a>]

01:09:14   having this huge argument in the city [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4154">TS</a>]

01:09:16   right now about like about rent control [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4156">TS</a>]

01:09:19   and there are people of very good will [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4159">TS</a>]

01:09:21   who really want to help people who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4161">TS</a>]

01:09:23   believe that rent control is like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4163">TS</a>]

01:09:25   two-word solution to a pic because retro [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4165">TS</a>]

01:09:30   because rent control but a two-word [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4170">TS</a>]

01:09:32   solution to it to it to a huge and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4172">TS</a>]

01:09:35   is far-reaching spiderweb of of a of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4175">TS</a>]

01:09:39   of a condition even not even a problem a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4179">TS</a>]

01:09:42   condition that produces innumerable [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4182">TS</a>]

01:09:45   problems and you know and they stand up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4185">TS</a>]

01:09:50   and say rent control and people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4190">TS</a>]

01:09:52   applauded and you go okay well um and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4192">TS</a>]

01:09:57   and what you find on the campaign trail [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4197">TS</a>]

01:09:58   as you as you're going along and you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4198">TS</a>]

01:10:00   hear people applauded as he says here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4200">TS</a>]

01:10:03   she says rent control over and over and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4203">TS</a>]

01:10:06   I see other candidates start to you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4206">TS</a>]

01:10:10   get to the end of their speech and say [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4210">TS</a>]

01:10:11   oh and also rent control and hope in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4211">TS</a>]

01:10:14   hopes that they can get an applause and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4214">TS</a>]

01:10:17   then you know and then that starts to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4217">TS</a>]

01:10:19   feel like wow there's a broad movement [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4219">TS</a>]

01:10:22   for this and there isn't really no one's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4222">TS</a>]

01:10:26   taking the time to really think about it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4226">TS</a>]

01:10:28   I mean the people who are who are who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4228">TS</a>]

01:10:31   are promoting it have thought about it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4231">TS</a>]

01:10:33   they I in my opinion haven't thought [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4233">TS</a>]

01:10:35   about it a lot of other things but they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4235">TS</a>]

01:10:39   thought about that and I mean it's like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4239">TS</a>]

01:10:43   it's like when I was 24 I remember [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4243">TS</a>]

01:10:45   feeling like well if you know if uh if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4245">TS</a>]

01:10:49   no one had ID then we wouldn't even need [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4249">TS</a>]

01:10:52   IDs who uh whatever right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4252">TS</a>]

01:10:55   it's like the those of the solution to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4255">TS</a>]

01:10:58   the problem is always so simple until [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4258">TS</a>]

01:11:00   you a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4260">TS</a>]

01:11:01   look at the the effects of it and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4261">TS</a>]

01:11:03   bend the incumbent in my race is he is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4263">TS</a>]

01:11:07   saying in every instance it's too [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4267">TS</a>]

01:11:09   complicated to explain right now and so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4269">TS</a>]

01:11:13   he's doing a very bad job of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4273">TS</a>]

01:11:14   communicating to people that it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4274">TS</a>]

01:11:17   complicated because he is he's being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4277">TS</a>]

01:11:19   caught he's doing that condescending [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4279">TS</a>]

01:11:20   thing of people who do see how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4280">TS</a>]

01:11:23   complicated it is they don't but they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4283">TS</a>]

01:11:25   don't find a way to say like here here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4285">TS</a>]

01:11:29   here are the top here that he hears the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4289">TS</a>]

01:11:31   idea right you don't need and i think i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4291">TS</a>]

01:11:33   think because because the tendency in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4293">TS</a>]

01:11:36   this game is to say like is to speak in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4296">TS</a>]

01:11:38   bullet points so it's like 12345 here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4298">TS</a>]

01:11:41   are the 5 things and that's not an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4301">TS</a>]

01:11:44   effective way of communicating the idea [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4304">TS</a>]

01:11:45   and under an effective way to do it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4305">TS</a>]

01:11:48   actually with metaphor you know is it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4308">TS</a>]

01:11:51   it's much easier to say like well how do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4311">TS</a>]

01:11:55   I explain what being in politics is like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4315">TS</a>]

01:11:57   it's like being it's like playing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4317">TS</a>]

01:12:00   fantasy football in a way you're dealing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4320">TS</a>]

01:12:04   with people who have never played or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4324">TS</a>]

01:12:05   probably never played professional [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4325">TS</a>]

01:12:07   football but who are experts at the game [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4327">TS</a>]

01:12:11   of numbers football right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4331">TS</a>]

01:12:14   Wow okay that is pretty good right and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4334">TS</a>]

01:12:17   that is that's a metaphor to explain [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4337">TS</a>]

01:12:20   what I could have try could have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4340">TS</a>]

01:12:22   struggled and failed to explain about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4342">TS</a>]

01:12:24   politics using five actual facts about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4344">TS</a>]

01:12:28   it and that's true in civic life to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4348">TS</a>]

01:12:31   people are like trying to explain things [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4351">TS</a>]

01:12:33   using statistics and actual facts about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4353">TS</a>]

01:12:36   things that are that are actually pretty [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4356">TS</a>]

01:12:38   apprehended below by normal people if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4358">TS</a>]

01:12:40   you just say you know what this is like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4360">TS</a>]

01:12:42   this is like a basketball game where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4362">TS</a>]

01:12:46   everybody is on a unicycle and people go [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4366">TS</a>]

01:12:49   oh I can picture that it is kinda like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4369">TS</a>]

01:12:53   that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4373">TS</a>]

01:12:54   yeah the basketball game where everybody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4374">TS</a>]

01:12:56   is on either cycle and most of them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4376">TS</a>]

01:12:57   don't know how to ride a unicycle so up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4377">TS</a>]

01:13:01   and and I think the best i think the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4381">TS</a>]

01:13:04   best people in public life have that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4384">TS</a>]

01:13:06   have that ability and it isn't it isn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4386">TS</a>]

01:13:09   wrong [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4389">TS</a>]

01:13:10   more untrustworthy to use metaphor to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4390">TS</a>]

01:13:13   explain things it is you know and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4393">TS</a>]

01:13:17   you hear it all the time you campaign in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4397">TS</a>]

01:13:19   poetry government pros but I feel like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4399">TS</a>]

01:13:22   you need to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4402">TS</a>]

01:13:24   that's good I like that right but I feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4404">TS</a>]

01:13:26   like you also can govern in poetry a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4406">TS</a>]

01:13:28   little bit and and and part of that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4408">TS</a>]

01:13:32   the outreach you have to sit in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4412">TS</a>]

01:13:34   meeting and listen to all the data and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4414">TS</a>]

01:13:36   synthesize and make decisions but then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4416">TS</a>]

01:13:38   when you take that back out to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4418">TS</a>]

01:13:40   people and say here's what we decided [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4420">TS</a>]

01:13:43   that's another opportunity to your not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4423">TS</a>]

01:13:49   campaigning then but you are speaking in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4429">TS</a>]

01:13:53   poetry to people and I think there would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4433">TS</a>]

01:13:56   be a lot more people would feel that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4436">TS</a>]

01:13:57   more transparency in government and they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4437">TS</a>]

01:13:59   would feel like it was less [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4439">TS</a>]

01:14:00   conspiratorial if they weren't if they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4440">TS</a>]

01:14:03   weren't buried under statistics when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4443">TS</a>]

01:14:08   really statistics are bad and explaining [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4448">TS</a>]

01:14:10   things online statistics can also just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4450">TS</a>]

01:17:51   the beginning that this was in fact i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4671">TS</a>]

01:17:54   think the first my first year of junior [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4674">TS</a>]

01:17:56   high was also the first year coincided [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4676">TS</a>]

01:17:58   with the first year of erasable pens [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4678">TS</a>]

01:18:09   spooky like Christie kinda gummy ink and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4689">TS</a>]

01:18:12   yeah you could erase it was erasable [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4692">TS</a>]

01:18:14   pens but they were not inexpensive and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4694">TS</a>]

01:18:17   had a really hard time keeping up even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4697">TS</a>]

01:18:21   one writing implement on my person right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4701">TS</a>]

01:18:26   and i would put the pen down and I would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4706">TS</a>]

01:18:28   forget to pick it up or I don't know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4708">TS</a>]

01:18:30   where I don't know how I lost so many [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4710">TS</a>]

01:18:32   pens and so many pencils so i was never [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4712">TS</a>]

01:18:34   able to even I didn't feel like I even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4714">TS</a>]

01:18:37   had control over my possession of any [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4717">TS</a>]

01:18:55   know partly it felt just like a punitive [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4735">TS</a>]

01:18:59   rule i look in our language arbitrary [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4739">TS</a>]

01:19:03   just an arbitrary rule [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4743">TS</a>]

01:19:51   personal experience of walking around [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/4791">TS</a>]

01:27:50   that and that's what's crazy that that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5270">TS</a>]

01:27:52   that too [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5272">TS</a>]

01:27:54   we can't get people to agree on really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5274">TS</a>]

01:27:58   simple incremental projects but I wonder [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5278">TS</a>]

01:28:02   you know I wonder if it's possible to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5282">TS</a>]

01:28:06   have a kind of collective czar or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5286">TS</a>]

01:28:10   collective Pharaoh where collected fair [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5290">TS</a>]

01:28:17   a collective era where people are you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5297">TS</a>]

01:28:21   know where people are able to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5301">TS</a>]

01:28:23   inspired by a vision of the future in 20 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5303">TS</a>]

01:28:28   years [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5308">TS</a>]

01:28:29   and put aside the the normal bickering [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5309">TS</a>]

01:28:32   of like well where are the crosswalks [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5312">TS</a>]

01:28:34   gonna be well we're how is that going to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5314">TS</a>]

01:28:36   affect my sewer service and say like can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5316">TS</a>]

01:28:40   we all agree on a you know like and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5320">TS</a>]

01:28:43   know I know it's really pie-in-the-sky [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5323">TS</a>]

01:28:44   and then then we try this all the time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5324">TS</a>]

01:28:47   but we are or more and more capable all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5327">TS</a>]

01:28:50   the time to of both like disseminating a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5330">TS</a>]

01:28:54   vision more broadly than we've been able [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5334">TS</a>]

01:28:57   to in the past and collecting people's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5337">TS</a>]

01:28:59   opinions are in real time so we don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5339">TS</a>]

01:29:02   anymore have to say like here's the big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5342">TS</a>]

01:29:05   project that we envisioned here is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5345">TS</a>]

01:29:07   bill that would enable it to pass and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5347">TS</a>]

01:29:09   now let's put it to the voters and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5349">TS</a>]

01:29:11   will be in and and every once in a while [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5351">TS</a>]

01:29:13   you know we can robo call them in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5353">TS</a>]

01:29:15   advance of the land and the people that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5355">TS</a>]

01:29:17   have home phones that reply two poles [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5357">TS</a>]

01:29:21   will give us some sense of what how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5361">TS</a>]

01:29:24   people feel about this right like we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5364">TS</a>]

01:29:26   have the technology now or increasingly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5366">TS</a>]

01:29:28   so we could reach a large population of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5368">TS</a>]

01:29:31   people in real time and say here's you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5371">TS</a>]

01:29:34   know like here's the project here's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5374">TS</a>]

01:29:36   modification of the project here's you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5376">TS</a>]

01:29:39   know here's the the comment period is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5379">TS</a>]

01:29:41   already closed but here is the you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5381">TS</a>]

01:29:43   like what do you think about this option [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5383">TS</a>]

01:29:45   versus this option and and move people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5385">TS</a>]

01:29:49   to choose up to choose to make a big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5389">TS</a>]

01:29:54   leap and then say alright we have chosen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5394">TS</a>]

01:29:57   this and now reverse engineering how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5397">TS</a>]

01:30:00   we're gonna get this done is going to be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5400">TS</a>]

01:30:02   a separate process that isn't and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5402">TS</a>]

01:30:04   going to involve some big action but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5404">TS</a>]

01:30:08   it's under the umbrella of this thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5408">TS</a>]

01:30:10   we've already approved right and so you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5410">TS</a>]

01:30:13   know we're not gonna we're not going to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5413">TS</a>]

01:30:14   build this out of a stacked bebes we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5414">TS</a>]

01:30:18   gonna we're gonna build this back from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5418">TS</a>]

01:30:20   the thing that we've all agreed is what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5420">TS</a>]

01:30:22   we want [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5422">TS</a>]

01:30:23   I think it's did I boy this has gotta at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5423">TS</a>]

01:30:26   some point be sort of a part of any [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5426">TS</a>]

01:30:29   political strategy against is and how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5429">TS</a>]

01:30:30   you phrase things or how you frame [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5430">TS</a>]

01:30:31   things and damaged in your idea of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5431">TS</a>]

01:30:33   saying like you know in some ways I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5433">TS</a>]

01:30:35   guess I feel like if you're overly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5435">TS</a>]

01:30:37   specific about what pointing out what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5437">TS</a>]

01:30:39   you're doing and the context almost [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5439">TS</a>]

01:30:40   everybody's going to disagree with it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5440">TS</a>]

01:30:42   especially if you say something like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5442">TS</a>]

01:30:43   okay you got his but here's here's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5443">TS</a>]

01:30:46   answer pattern is the bad example [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5446">TS</a>]

01:30:47   ok you guys we love our educational [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5447">TS</a>]

01:30:51   system and we know how important that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5451">TS</a>]

01:30:53   but it's time for us to revolutionize it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5453">TS</a>]

01:30:57   like if you put it that way people are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5457">TS</a>]

01:30:58   gonna freak in some ways because or or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5458">TS</a>]

01:31:01   even if you say things you get super [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5461">TS</a>]

01:31:02   specific when you get the lobby's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5462">TS</a>]

01:31:04   involved it needs to be something that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5464">TS</a>]

01:31:05   so along the lines of the supertrain [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5465">TS</a>]

01:31:07   type effort would have to be something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5467">TS</a>]

01:31:08   that's like so big that nobody would see [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5468">TS</a>]

01:31:10   it coming [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5470">TS</a>]

01:31:10   yeah and what school called some cells [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5470">TS</a>]

01:31:13   called something else yeah right yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5473">TS</a>]

01:31:15   and and and uh you know and i think it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5475">TS</a>]

01:31:19   yeah i mean there are so many examples [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5479">TS</a>]

01:31:22   of how there are so many examples of big [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5482">TS</a>]

01:31:25   projects that we have successfully build [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5485">TS</a>]

01:31:27   that we can use as as guidelines but the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5487">TS</a>]

01:31:34   world has changed so much like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5494">TS</a>]

01:31:36   everything such an artifact of its time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5496">TS</a>]

01:31:37   in context [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5497">TS</a>]

01:31:38   yeah it's something everybody we know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5498">TS</a>]

01:31:40   people like me say oh we won't have the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5500">TS</a>]

01:31:41   Tennessee Valley Authority would be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5501">TS</a>]

01:31:43   great if we took all these people who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5503">TS</a>]

01:31:44   can't get jobs and got them and I'm not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5504">TS</a>]

01:31:46   getting I'm modernizing I'm not even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5506">TS</a>]

01:31:48   saying let's go ahead and build a dam [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5508">TS</a>]

01:31:49   I'm saying let's have them work even in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5509">TS</a>]

01:31:51   some kind of an IT capacity or do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5511">TS</a>]

01:31:53   something or like volunteering school [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5513">TS</a>]

01:31:54   because all these kinds of ways that you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5514">TS</a>]

01:31:56   can do that but like that you know some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5516">TS</a>]

01:31:58   of those biggest projects came out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5518">TS</a>]

01:32:00   something that was really kind of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5520">TS</a>]

01:32:01   fluke that never happened at all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5521">TS</a>]

01:32:03   yeah you think about what i mean in in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5523">TS</a>]

01:32:07   living memory in in my parents lifetimes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5527">TS</a>]

01:32:11   the government went across the nation [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5531">TS</a>]

01:32:15   and basically built enormous dams in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5535">TS</a>]

01:32:18   every conceivable river valley where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5538">TS</a>]

01:32:22   they could get away with it and if you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5542">TS</a>]

01:32:24   think about what it would take now for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5544">TS</a>]

01:32:26   somebody to come along and say this this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5546">TS</a>]

01:32:29   unspoiled valley that's full of little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5549">TS</a>]

01:32:31   villages and stuff we're going to build [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5551">TS</a>]

01:32:33   a dam at the end of it to capture water [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5553">TS</a>]

01:32:35   and and create power net would never you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5555">TS</a>]

01:32:38   would be more than impossible right and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5558">TS</a>]

01:32:42   so so there was this window of time when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5562">TS</a>]

01:32:46   it was technologically possible to build [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5566">TS</a>]

01:32:48   giant hydroelectric dams and still [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5568">TS</a>]

01:32:52   socially possible [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5572">TS</a>]

01:32:54   and we built a bunch of them and for us [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5574">TS</a>]

01:32:56   here in Seattle like our electricity is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5576">TS</a>]

01:32:59   cheap because of these giant dams that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5579">TS</a>]

01:33:01   they built just in my in my father's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5581">TS</a>]

01:33:03   lifetime that's so amazing and uh you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5583">TS</a>]

01:33:07   know and we're and here we are right i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5587">TS</a>]

01:33:10   mean I'm we're making this podcast using [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5590">TS</a>]

01:33:12   that power in part and so and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5592">TS</a>]

01:33:17   interstate highways were built in our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5597">TS</a>]

01:33:19   lifetimes all across the country based [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5599">TS</a>]

01:33:23   on the premise and now we're not saying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5603">TS</a>]

01:33:24   we didn't break a few eggs to get there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5604">TS</a>]

01:33:27   sure maybe we maybe not every [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5607">TS</a>]

01:33:29   mom-and-pop motel made the cut [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5609">TS</a>]

01:33:31   we kind of tore down the Centers of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5611">TS</a>]

01:33:34   every major American city but look at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5614">TS</a>]

01:33:37   the roads and you know to think about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5617">TS</a>]

01:33:40   that like after the war there was a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5620">TS</a>]

01:33:44   sense of that that that we had progress [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5624">TS</a>]

01:33:46   the bit that the big businesses the oil [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5626">TS</a>]

01:33:49   companies and the and the automobile [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5629">TS</a>]

01:33:50   companies were like roads and and they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5630">TS</a>]

01:33:53   did this fantastic job of convincing us [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5633">TS</a>]

01:33:55   that building roads was the pump was in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5635">TS</a>]

01:33:57   the public's interest and they attached [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5637">TS</a>]

01:34:00   all this weird cold war spooker e to it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5640">TS</a>]

01:34:03   and then just eminent domained huge [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5643">TS</a>]

01:34:08   neighborhoods in the centres of all of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5648">TS</a>]

01:34:10   the towns and built giant smoky loud [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5650">TS</a>]

01:34:13   caverns chasms and now here we are in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5653">TS</a>]

01:34:20   every day I Drive on it and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5660">TS</a>]

01:34:22   everybody's you know and driving on them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5662">TS</a>]

01:34:24   couldn't do it now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5664">TS</a>]

01:34:26   couldn't do it now not in a million [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5666">TS</a>]

01:34:29   billion years right but the next thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5669">TS</a>]

01:34:32   we need to build has to be on that same [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5672">TS</a>]

01:34:35   scale and it has to be better and cooler [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5675">TS</a>]

01:34:39   and conscious of the mistakes that were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5679">TS</a>]

01:34:42   made and conscious of the fact that when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5682">TS</a>]

01:34:44   they built the dams and they built the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5684">TS</a>]

01:34:46   freeways they also thought they were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5686">TS</a>]

01:34:48   doing the best thing we can there's an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5688">TS</a>]

01:34:51   urgency I mean one of the things you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5691">TS</a>]

01:34:52   know I know we share a love of world war [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5692">TS</a>]

01:34:55   two especially documentaries that the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5695">TS</a>]

01:34:57   part of those things that never stops [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5697">TS</a>]

01:34:58   blowing me away with several things that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5698">TS</a>]

01:35:00   never stopped playing away but one is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5700">TS</a>]

01:35:01   the how quickly every country germany [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5701">TS</a>]

01:35:05   england united states how quickly they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+BmEOtlxe8/5705">TS</a>]
