[TS]
00:01:27
◼

difference between those things so thank

◼
►

bonus sleep if you're able to go back to
[TS]
00:01:41
◼
►
sleep for a period of time after you
[TS]
00:01:42
◼
►
wake up that's a huge win but I've also
[TS]
00:01:44
◼
►
found it very difficult because then you
[TS]
00:01:46
◼
►
also have to be that person who says if
[TS]
00:01:49
◼
►
I pull this off I'm going to be sleeping
[TS]
00:01:51
◼

[TS]
00:01:54
◼

other people are doing things and I
[TS]
00:01:56
◼
►
think they are very difficult and I feel
[TS]
00:01:58
◼
►
resistance and it's hard to do yeah part
[TS]
00:02:02
◼
►
of the advantage well let's see I don't
[TS]
00:02:05
◼
►
know if I should say advantage but part
[TS]
00:02:06
◼
►
of the experience of living alone is
[TS]
00:02:09
◼
►
that I can pull the curtains and I hear
[TS]
00:02:12
◼
►
people out

◼
►
really yeah and there's no accounting

for it because we've looked at every

everything and it just doesn't seem you
[TS]
00:04:19
◼
►
know the
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
it could just be that my mom wakes up at
[TS]
00:04:23
◼
►
4 o'clock in the morning and even though
[TS]
00:04:25
◼

energy of awakeness and and aliveness is

things that we cannot be aware of that

science in the sense that we have just

in the 20th century discovered so many

things that we didn't know

before some things that we didn't even

know existed that to presume that we are

00:11:05

now at peak understanding is I think
[TS]
00:11:08
◼

also like not scientific right it's the

00:11:11

hubristic
[TS]
00:11:11

of the the heat the hubris of the moment
[TS]

the hubris of the present moment where

you feel like history you feel like

00:11:18

we've got it all we got a whole bunch of

books with all kinds of stuff in it yeah

history has new Under the Sun exactly
[TS]
00:11:24

history stops with us and in fact you
[TS]
00:11:27

know political systems will ich will
[TS]
00:11:29

continue to evolve and science will
[TS]
00:11:31
◼

continue to evolve of course there are
[TS]
00:11:33
◼

like 10,000 million things we don't know
[TS]
00:11:37
◼

yet but it's so hard to situate yourself
[TS]
00:11:40
◼

in a timeline where the future and I
[TS]
00:11:42
◼
►
don't want to talk about time travel hmm
[TS]
00:11:44
◼
►
but where the future is
[TS]
00:11:45
◼
►
you know unknowable and you can only see
[TS]
00:11:48
◼
►
yourself at in history like as part of a
[TS]
00:11:53
◼
►
continuum of history but from a
[TS]
00:11:55
◼
►
perspective that you can never have and
[TS]
00:11:58
◼
►
yeah I feel like I feel like spooky
[TS]
00:12:00
◼
►
action at a distance is not a thing that
[TS]
00:12:01
◼
►
we can even imagine how we would
[TS]
00:12:03
◼
►
discover the the process but it doesn't
[TS]
00:12:08
◼
►
mean that you know it doesn't mean that
[TS]
00:12:10
◼
►
some young Einstein isn't sitting in her
[TS]
00:12:13
◼
►
Garret and feeling up you know like wait
[TS]
00:12:16
◼
►
a minute uh
[TS]
00:12:18
◼
►
time is relative or or action isn't
[TS]
00:12:21
◼
►
spooky it's actually it's yeah right
[TS]
00:12:24
◼
►
it's friendly action at a distance well
[TS]
00:12:27
◼
►
as you know I'm not a scientist but
[TS]
00:12:29
◼
►
alright but you look at like the history
[TS]
00:12:31
◼
►
of stuff and you get somebody who gets a
[TS]
00:12:33
◼
►
reckon about how the world works and
[TS]
00:12:35
◼
►
maybe that could be a guy throwing
[TS]
00:12:36
◼
►
lightning bolts from the sky sure
[TS]
00:12:39
◼
►
something with somebody whittling and
[TS]
00:12:41
◼
►
turns out the whittling stick is really
[TS]
00:12:43
◼
►
yeah and you know you could even before
[TS]
00:12:45
◼
►
you even understand what something is
[TS]
00:12:46
◼
►
you get to give it a name and once it
[TS]
00:12:48
◼
►
has a name and then becomes an idea that
[TS]
00:12:50
◼
►
you can you can share with other people
[TS]
00:12:51
◼
►
maybe at some point you get evidence
[TS]
00:12:54
◼
►
about whether that is a thing or not
[TS]
00:12:56
◼
►
right right and then then eventually
[TS]
00:12:59
◼
►
maybe you discover oh no no no that
[TS]
00:13:02
◼
►
happened because of this and then you go
[TS]
00:13:03
◼
►
oh but now we know what this thing is we
[TS]
00:13:05
◼
►
give it a new name we eventually get the
[TS]
00:13:07
◼
►
ability to measure it and then once we
[TS]
00:13:08
◼
►
get the ability to measure it eventually
[TS]
00:13:10
◼
►
we get the ability to measure it more
[TS]
00:13:11
◼
►
carefully until right
[TS]
00:13:14
◼
►
refit it into our understanding of
[TS]
00:13:15
◼
►
things and I just I just don't know
[TS]
00:13:17
◼
►
which stage of those things I'm at with
[TS]
00:13:20
◼
►
some of my reckons about the world right
[TS]
00:13:23
◼
►
I don't have a way to measure the spooky
[TS]
00:13:25
◼
►
action in a distance that makes my
[TS]
00:13:26
◼
►
daughter get up at 6:00 a.m. every day
[TS]
00:13:28
◼
►
yeah oh she gets up regularly at 6:00
[TS]
00:13:31
◼
►
every day pretty on the regular this is
[TS]
00:13:33
◼
►
that shitty time of year when it's just
[TS]
00:13:35
◼
►
so goddamn bright all the time it's
[TS]
00:13:37
◼
►
bright on that bedtime we try really
[TS]
00:13:40
◼
►
hard we try so hard to encourage and
[TS]
00:13:45
◼
►
enforce a like we're moving toward
[TS]
00:13:47
◼
►
bedtime at 7:30 no later than 8:00 and
[TS]
00:13:50
◼
►
these days it's not unusual for her to
[TS]
00:13:51
◼
►
be reading until 10:00 and then books up
[TS]
00:13:54
◼
►
at 6:00 and that's not enough time for a
[TS]
00:13:55
◼
►
little kid so you know you start you
[TS]
00:13:58
◼
►
start rattling the chicken bones trying
[TS]
00:14:00
◼
►
to figure out what to do it's all I'm
[TS]
00:14:01
◼
►
saying yeah right well you put you
[TS]
00:14:03
◼
►
you're right you take two electrons you
[TS]
00:14:06
◼
►
Miriam put them in separate boxes take
[TS]
00:14:07
◼
►
them across the world they stay married
[TS]
00:14:11
◼
►
that's uh you know we don't know why but
[TS]
00:14:13
◼
►
they like try maybe maybe maybe
[TS]
00:14:16
◼
►
electronic love electronic marriage yeah
[TS]
00:14:19
◼
►
right right so it's uh it's an electron
[TS]
00:14:24
◼
►
that's the same-sex marriage - they're
[TS]
00:14:26
◼
►
they're you know they're both negative -
[TS]
00:14:28
◼
►
like a sex marriage yeah and then if you
[TS]
00:14:31
◼
►
bring in a third partner you call that
[TS]
00:14:33
◼
►
an open eye on like you bring in
[TS]
00:14:36
◼
►
somebody else you know but with consent
[TS]
00:14:38
◼
►
sure and now you've got you got
[TS]
00:14:40
◼
►
something more we're open involving
[TS]
00:14:41
◼
►
electrons maybe a bathrobe but but
[TS]
00:14:43
◼
►
that's a polyamorous kind of molecule at
[TS]
00:14:47
◼
►
the atomic level I feel like there's a
[TS]
00:14:50
◼
►
there's a lot more acceptance of a poly
[TS]
00:14:52
◼
►
lifestyle mm-hmm and that's a thing that
[TS]
00:14:55
◼
►
we're evolving normative though you
[TS]
00:14:57
◼
►
don't think like everything wants to
[TS]
00:14:58
◼
►
bind a carbon you don't think that's a
[TS]
00:15:00
◼
►
normative from an elemental point of
[TS]
00:15:03
◼
►
view like a lot I think a lot of a lot
[TS]
00:15:07
◼
►
at the atomic level a lot of things do
[TS]
00:15:08
◼
►
want to bind to carbon but not
[TS]
00:15:10
◼
►
everything well it could be controlled a
[TS]
00:15:12
◼
►
high charisma and everybody just likes
[TS]
00:15:13
◼
►
carbon what what I don't understand is
[TS]
00:15:17
◼
►
how to apply that how that is affecting
[TS]
00:15:24
◼
►
what we think of as personality
[TS]
00:15:26
◼
►
mmm right like how much of your
[TS]
00:15:29
◼
►
personality how much of mine which seem
[TS]
00:15:31
◼
►
you know which we're always curious
[TS]
00:15:33
◼
►
about is this genetic but like at some
[TS]
00:15:38
◼
►
level is it atomic at our consciousness
[TS]
00:15:43
◼
►
and and our curiosity about from whence
[TS]
00:15:48
◼
►
it derives like where does our
[TS]
00:15:51
◼
►
consciousness leave what where where is
[TS]
00:15:54
◼
►
it not biological but but atomic also
[TS]
00:15:58
◼
►
mm-hmm something I'm saying it's not
[TS]
00:16:01
◼
►
just like I go to this ice-cream place a
[TS]
00:16:02
◼
►
lot because I like this ice-cream place
[TS]
00:16:04
◼
►
there could be something deeper go on
[TS]
00:16:05
◼
►
like which I'm genetically predisposed
[TS]
00:16:07
◼
►
to go to this ice-cream place but what
[TS]
00:16:09
◼
►
if it is happening at a much deeper do
[TS]
00:16:10
◼
►
where I atomically need to be at this
[TS]
00:16:12
◼
►
ice-cream place and I don't know sure
[TS]
00:16:15
◼
►
like yeah like where we can kind of
[TS]
00:16:18
◼
►
accept that when the moon is closer to
[TS]
00:16:21
◼
►
the earth or when the moon is full
[TS]
00:16:23
◼
►
although I'm not exactly sure how that
[TS]
00:16:25
◼
►
would work but like it is cool John it's
[TS]
00:16:27
◼
►
all it's all about its optics that's
[TS]
00:16:29
◼
►
it's optics but but but we do talk about
[TS]
00:16:31
◼
►
the way the moon pulls on us we can see
[TS]
00:16:35
◼
►
it pull on the oceans that's measurable
[TS]
00:16:37
◼
►
but what we don't think about is that
[TS]
00:16:40
◼
►
there's nothing that has ever happened
[TS]
00:16:42
◼
►
in our entire like the entire awareness
[TS]
00:16:47
◼
►
that isn't affected by gravity we're
[TS]
00:16:49
◼
►
bathing in it all the time and we don't
[TS]
00:16:51
◼
►
know what it is and gravity is like it
[TS]
00:16:56
◼
►
has a real pull on us hmm and so what it
[TS]
00:17:00
◼
►
what role is that playing it's playing
[TS]
00:17:02
◼
►
every role mm-hmm and we don't know we
[TS]
00:17:04
◼
►
don't know what it is we don't know how
[TS]
00:17:06
◼
►
to really measure it and we don't know
[TS]
00:17:11
◼
►
how it changes we don't know like I mean
[TS]
00:17:15
◼
►
does is gravity a wave or a particle or
[TS]
00:17:18
◼
►
is gravity changing all the time under
[TS]
00:17:21
◼
►
our feet in imperceptible ways oh I like
[TS]
00:17:25
◼
►
that we're too close to it yeah right I
[TS]
00:17:28
◼
►
mean you know it from day to day our are
[TS]
00:17:30
◼
►
your moods which seem because because I
[TS]
00:17:33
◼
►
see all the time someone's mood
[TS]
00:17:36
◼
►
our product of their emotions and they
[TS]
00:17:39
◼
►
and those emotions and that and their
[TS]
00:17:44
◼
►
sense of what is reasonable and rational
[TS]
00:17:47
◼
►
it feels very real to them this is but
[TS]
00:17:50
◼
►
this is their rational mind is telling
[TS]
00:17:53
◼
►
them that this you treat them on the
[TS]
00:17:54
◼
►
street and ask them about the situation
[TS]
00:17:56
◼
►
they would very likely give you a
[TS]
00:17:58
◼
►
completely different answer about what
[TS]
00:18:00
◼
►
the right thing to do is but you don't
[TS]
00:18:02
◼
►
pause for a minute because of some
[TS]
00:18:03
◼
►
atomic emotional decision yeah right I
[TS]
00:18:06
◼
►
mean and it's part of it's part of kind
[TS]
00:18:08
◼
►
of wrestling with depression
[TS]
00:18:10
◼
►
what makes depression insidious is that
[TS]
00:18:13
◼
►
it does not it it acts upon your
[TS]
00:18:16
◼
►
rational mind so you can you can explain
[TS]
00:18:20
◼
►
your feelings very articulately and it
[TS]
00:18:23
◼
►
is hard to refute it's hard to argue
[TS]
00:18:25
◼
►
with because you're using that part of
[TS]
00:18:28
◼
►
your mind it's just that it's broken yes
[TS]
00:18:30
◼
►
and so underneath us right there like is
[TS]
00:18:34
◼
►
gravity I mean I feel like all of
[TS]
00:18:37
◼
►
physics sort of is like well gravity
[TS]
00:18:40
◼
►
here women we understand it's like the
[TS]
00:18:42
◼
►
thing or one of the big big things one
[TS]
00:18:46
◼
►
of the major forces but it's the it's
[TS]
00:18:48
◼
►
the weakest force pospos idli mm-hm and
[TS]
00:18:53
◼
►
it acts upon the it acts at the greatest
[TS]
00:18:56
◼
►
distance and is it underneath is it
[TS]
00:18:59
◼
►
underneath everything is it the is it
[TS]
00:19:01
◼
►
the static or is it the governing hand
[TS]
00:19:04
◼
►
hmm so looks like Eugen you've had that
[TS]
00:19:08
◼
►
experience where you're on a bus and the
[TS]
00:19:11
◼
►
the bus next to you starts moving and it
[TS]
00:19:13
◼
►
feels like you're going backwards right
[TS]
00:19:15
◼
►
I don't talk about time travel but it
[TS]
00:19:17
◼
►
but in that instance so you say oh I got
[TS]
00:19:20
◼
►
my grown ass man I know what's happening
[TS]
00:19:22
◼
►
here that's just because of proximity
[TS]
00:19:24
◼
►
parallax effect you you notice that
[TS]
00:19:26
◼
►
because you notice that but like the
[TS]
00:19:28
◼
►
thing is if you're on a green screen and
[TS]
00:19:29
◼
►
you're on a bus next to another bus and
[TS]
00:19:31
◼
►
you both were going exactly 100 miles an
[TS]
00:19:32
◼
►
hour it would feel like you're both
[TS]
00:19:34
◼
►
standing still is what I'm saying even
[TS]
00:19:35
◼
►
if you had 500 buses all I can't do the
[TS]
00:19:38
◼
►
math I'm not good at word problems but I
[TS]
00:19:39
◼
►
think in that case you're saying gravity

if you look over and it has that

whoa he sure does around for nighttime

travel but yeah like so sore we're gonna
[TS]
00:22:23
◼

talk about such so so I sit here and I
[TS]
00:22:27
◼

think about a friend and then the phone
[TS]
00:22:28
◼

rings and it's that friend ah do you
[TS]
00:22:32
◼

think that's like a deja vu type

00:22:34

situation cuz I've had I've had that

happen a lot of places where I go I have
[TS]

this sudden feeling of like oh this
[TS]
00:22:38
◼

thing is about to happen and then that
[TS]
00:22:40
◼

thing happens did you cause that call to
[TS]
00:22:43
◼
►
happen or to gravity change the way you
[TS]
00:22:45
◼
►
perceive the calls reception yeah at
[TS]
00:22:48
◼

some point it's it would be one thing
[TS]
00:22:50
◼

for me to say I you know I am I shook my
[TS]
00:22:55
◼
►
I shook my moneymaker mm-hmm over here
[TS]
00:22:59
◼
►
and a friend uh in Boston who had a who
[TS]
00:23:04
◼
►
had the same moneymaker we bought him at
[TS]
00:23:06
◼
►
the same time my friend in Boston
[TS]
00:23:08
◼
►
decided shake his moneymaker
[TS]
00:23:09
◼
►
okay okay that's Samson right that's one
[TS]
00:23:11
◼
►
thing mm-hmm
[TS]
00:23:13
◼
►
where it feels like there's some kind of
[TS]
00:23:15
◼
►
energetic bonding within the object
[TS]
00:23:20
◼
►
though we make a huge differentiation in
[TS]
00:23:26
◼
►
the world of ideas I had an idea of my
[TS]
00:23:29
◼
►
friend and my friend also had the idea
[TS]
00:23:32
◼
►
of me and we both thought to talk on the
[TS]
00:23:36
◼
►
phone and and and who had the idea first
[TS]
00:23:40
◼
►
right my friend called me first but but
[TS]
00:23:42
◼
►
did I trigger that with my idea or did
[TS]
00:23:45
◼
►
he have the idea and I was the one being
[TS]
00:23:46
◼
►
triggered or did you know like and not
[TS]
00:23:49
◼
►
to talk about time travel but demand we
[TS]
00:23:51
◼
►
had how would you know yeah did he send
[TS]
00:23:53
◼
►
something out that that arrived at me
[TS]
00:23:56
◼
►
before the call but we make that
[TS]
00:23:58
◼
►
differentiation because the ideas feel
[TS]
00:24:00
◼
►
like we're generating them they feel
[TS]
00:24:02
◼
►
like they belong to us and that we are
[TS]
00:24:05
◼
►
their source but are we what if the song
[TS]
00:24:08
◼
►
is singing us well that's the thing you
[TS]
00:24:14
◼
►
experience so much as an artist where
[TS]
00:24:15
◼
►
you're like I'm sitting down at the
[TS]
00:24:17
◼
►
today and just going to take her around
[TS]
00:24:18
◼
►
and all of a sudden you write your best
[TS]
00:24:22
◼
►
song right and it's like where the fuck
[TS]
00:24:24
◼
►
did that hiding that I mean how do you
[TS]
00:24:26
◼
►
have you how do you regenerate that
[TS]
00:24:29
◼
►
tomorrow you know yeah and is it is it
[TS]
00:24:32
◼
►
are there just other I mean I think a
[TS]
00:24:35
◼
►
lot of artists even ones that are
[TS]
00:24:37
◼
►
agnostic or even ones that are
[TS]
00:24:39
◼
►
science-based artists like like dr.
[TS]
00:24:43
◼
►
Demento uh we all kind of agree that
[TS]
00:24:48
◼
►
sometimes fully formed songs come to us
[TS]
00:24:52
◼
►
in a in an envelope you know then but
[TS]
00:24:56
◼
►
that almost a collision yeah but so
[TS]
00:25:00
◼
►
God's ready like a Kubla Kahn type
[TS]
00:25:01
◼
►
situation it just comes where you go
[TS]
00:25:04
◼
►
down for your opium nap you wake up wake
[TS]
00:25:05
◼
►
up and you got an epic poem in you yeah
[TS]
00:25:08
◼
►
except it feels like you're working I
[TS]
00:25:10
◼
►
mean you're you're not just sitting
[TS]
00:25:11
◼
►
there taking dictation although that is
[TS]
00:25:13
◼
►
a that is a phrase luckily the
[TS]
00:25:15
◼
►
well-prepared yeah yeah and you sit down
[TS]
00:25:18
◼
►
you're like this this board this chord
[TS]
00:25:20
◼
►
follows that and then you're like this
[TS]
00:25:22
◼
►
court I would never have done that
[TS]
00:25:24
◼
►
before but I did it today because I am
[TS]
00:25:26
◼
►
creative but it happened so fast that
[TS]
00:25:29
◼
►
you feel like if I if creativity is a
[TS]
00:25:32
◼
►
thing that I can that I have perfectly
[TS]
00:25:35
◼
►
harnessed or if creativity is a thing
[TS]
00:25:37
◼
►
that's just the product of my own
[TS]
00:25:39
◼
►
components why am I so incapable of
[TS]
00:25:43
◼
►
doing this on demand you know and why
[TS]
00:25:46
◼
►
when it works and when it happens is it
[TS]
00:25:48
◼
►
does it feel so miraculous to me and
[TS]
00:25:51
◼
►
it's just like why did I choose that but
[TS]
00:25:52
◼
►
I did and pow how would you know I mean
[TS]
00:25:55
◼
►
in my case how did I remember and
[TS]
00:25:57
◼
►
without getting a reminder I just
[TS]
00:25:59
◼
►
remembered that it's trashed and I had
[TS]
00:26:00
◼
►
to take out the trash before I get the
[TS]
00:26:02
◼
►
reminder then I get the reminder later
[TS]
00:26:03
◼
►
and it's like alright it's trash day it
[TS]
00:26:05
◼
►
must because I already took out the
[TS]
00:26:05
◼
►
trash how does that happen
[TS]
00:26:07
◼
►
is that is that location specific
[TS]
00:26:08
◼
►
gravity is that spooky tree Austin's
[TS]
00:26:11
◼
►
that could also be one in seven chance
[TS]
00:26:13
◼
►
okay there's also ice it's a bit the
[TS]
00:26:17
◼
►
birthday party problem the another thing
[TS]
00:26:20
◼
►
is though like for example here's
[TS]
00:26:21
◼
►
another thing I'm very interesting that
[TS]
00:26:22
◼
►
idea of naming and measuring because
[TS]
00:26:24
◼
►
once you can name things and then name
[TS]
00:26:26
◼
►
them more precisely you can measure them
[TS]
00:26:28
◼
►
and they can measure them more
[TS]
00:26:29
◼
►
I think stuff gets super interesting I
[TS]
00:26:30
◼
►
don't get into a spectrum disorder the
[TS]
00:26:33
◼
►
whore time travel no please no but but
[TS]
00:26:36
◼
►
you know I think it's super interesting
[TS]
00:26:37
◼
►
that all the kids who get tossed into
[TS]
00:26:40
◼
►
this one classroom when I was even let's
[TS]
00:26:42
◼
►
say an eighth grade but there's so many
[TS]
00:26:45
◼
►
different ways to name and measure like
[TS]
00:26:47
◼
►
what's going on and we're able to do
[TS]
00:26:49
◼
►
better things for those students because
[TS]
00:26:51
◼
►
now we have a way to name and measure it
[TS]
00:26:53
◼
►
I'll give you another one okay I
[TS]
00:26:54
◼
►
mentioned before I don't talk about
[TS]
00:26:56
◼
►
about wearables but but I I have have
[TS]
00:26:59
◼
►
dingus that attracts my motion like my
[TS]
00:27:02
◼
►
sleep and one of the things that can do
[TS]
00:27:03
◼
►
is my dingus can tell when I have walked
[TS]
00:27:07
◼
►
up steps and you know how it works
[TS]
00:27:11
◼
►
cuz I'd really understand how it works I
[TS]
00:27:14
◼
►
think it might be local gravity specific
[TS]
00:27:16
◼
►
mainly what it's doing supposedly is
[TS]
00:27:18
◼
►
it'll detect you just walked up you just
[TS]
00:27:21
◼
►
took 13 steps and the barometric
[TS]
00:27:24
◼
►
pressure changed a certain amount in
[TS]
00:27:26
◼
►
that 10 feet what your dingus is also a
[TS]
00:27:31
◼
►
barometer it's got it does barometric
[TS]
00:27:33
◼
►
pressure so for example yesterday we
[TS]
00:27:34
◼
►
grilled out which means going up and
[TS]
00:27:35
◼
►
down a bunch of steps even though I
[TS]
00:27:37
◼
►
didn't leave the house all day I got in
[TS]
00:27:38
◼
►
I got in 16 16 flights that's not
[TS]
00:27:41
◼
►
counting going down that's just going up
[TS]
00:27:43
◼
►
that it does that it doesn't does see I
[TS]
00:27:46
◼
►
wouldn't be able to detect that I
[TS]
00:27:47
◼
►
wouldn't be able to tell you oh I just
[TS]
00:27:48
◼
►
walked this many stories unless I was
[TS]
00:27:49
◼
►
counting did see that seems a little a
[TS]
00:27:52
◼
►
little magical we've had a way to name
[TS]
00:27:53
◼
►
it and now I have an easy way to measure
[TS]
00:27:55
◼
►
it and it's usually pretty accurate what
[TS]
00:27:57
◼
►
you think about that I think that that
[TS]
00:28:00
◼
►
is absolutely true I I just spent the
[TS]
00:28:02
◼
►
weekend at Lake Arrowhead in California
[TS]
00:28:04
◼

with these Judy that's fun con yeah
[TS]
00:28:06
◼

televisions famous Mac's phone call good
[TS]
00:28:08
◼

for you and Lake Arrowhead is at 1 mile
[TS]
00:28:12
◼

height it is same height up there as
[TS]
00:28:14
◼

Denver Colorado but it's not a city it's
[TS]
00:28:17
◼

the mile-high Lake and you immediately
[TS]
00:28:21
◼

because because there's no period of

00:28:23

feels like it is made out of play-doh
[TS]
00:28:37

and then all of a sudden you're a mile
[TS]
00:28:41

up and you can I mean you
[TS]
00:28:42
◼

wave your hand through the air and you
[TS]
00:28:44

feel that there is less of it mm-hmm and
[TS]
00:28:46

it rate isn't just that you're tired and

it isn't just that you're dehydrated and

squirrels are smaller yeah you know

small squirrels are that's a that's

something you you don't want to see

right the first time I makes you feel

their moms to drop off a casserole and

encephalitis does your child have um

[TS]
00:42:36
◼
►
three-year-old when you have a
[TS]
00:42:37
◼
►
one-year-old you're like whoa it's a
[TS]
00:42:40
◼
►
grotesque
[TS]
00:42:40
◼

◼

elementary school now my kid is in
[TS]
00:42:44
◼
►
kindergarten and there are all these
[TS]
00:42:46
◼

fifth graders running around and I feel
[TS]
00:42:49
◼

like why are these people not building

00:42:50
◼

be working for the National Park Service
[TS]
00:42:58
◼
►
what 4th grade to 22 so proximately 12
[TS]
00:43:00
◼
►
years of trail building think of the
[TS]
00:43:02
◼
►
trails we would have we have tremendous
[TS]
00:43:04
◼
►
tremendous trails and in the things at
[TS]
00:43:05
◼
►
first it would seem weird that they've
[TS]
00:43:07
◼
►
been conscripted into building trails
[TS]
00:43:09
◼
►
but I think really after a couple
[TS]
00:43:10
◼
►
generations it's just gonna feel like a
[TS]
00:43:11
◼
►
normal thing the thing is you're bonded
[TS]
00:43:14
◼
►
to your 10 year old so or your
[TS]
00:43:15
◼
►
nine-year-old so when she turns 10 is
[TS]
00:43:17
◼

00:43:25
◼

[TS]
00:43:28
◼
►
and like and like a wreath it's been a
[TS]
00:43:31
◼
►
reasonable progression yeah but from my
[TS]
00:43:34
◼
►
standpoint watching nine-year-olds run
[TS]
00:43:35
◼
►
around I'm like isn't there something
[TS]
00:43:37
◼
►

[TS]
00:43:39
◼
►
the good friar could be a private vote
[TS]
00:43:40
◼
►
you know maybe maybe there could be
[TS]
00:43:42
◼
►
something more like when you you make a
[TS]
00:43:43
◼
►
note maybe maybe the kids have like a
[TS]
00:43:45
◼
►
barcode or a QR code you can scan and
[TS]
00:43:47
◼
►
you know this kid looks like trouble
[TS]
00:43:48
◼
►
have enough people scan that kid trail
[TS]
00:43:51
◼
►
oh well yeah right why not I mean I knew
[TS]
00:43:55
◼
►
as tribute for them for the parks
[TS]
00:43:56
◼
►
department it's the lottery
[TS]
00:44:00
◼
►
except yeah instead of throw stones you
[TS]
00:44:04
◼
►
got to make your own clothes out of shit
[TS]
00:44:05
◼
►
you find by the road I've always thought
[TS]
00:44:07
◼
►
that that should be a thing that is true
[TS]
00:44:09
◼
►
on the roads every car has a barcode
[TS]
00:44:11
◼
►
if enough people scan your your your
[TS]
00:44:14
◼
►
barcode and put in asshole then your car
[TS]
00:44:18
◼
►
pulls over to the side of the road and
[TS]
00:44:19
◼
►
stops running enough people catch you
[TS]
00:44:21
◼
►
speeding and the governor kicks in guess
[TS]
00:44:24
◼
►
what now you're not going over 20 miles
[TS]
00:44:26
◼
►
an hour for a week it's like it's like
[TS]
00:44:27
◼
►
you go too fast you get too fast on your
[TS]
00:44:29
◼
►
internet and you use too much of your
[TS]
00:44:31
◼
►
internet and then they kick your way way
[TS]
00:44:33
◼
►
down as punishment for using too much
[TS]
00:44:34
◼
►
Internet
[TS]
00:44:35
◼
►
yeah they kick you down for using their
[TS]
00:44:37
◼
►
service I know I don't but but it feels
[TS]
00:44:40
◼
►
like it feels like maybe that is a way
[TS]
00:44:44
◼
►
that we could recapitulate the village
[TS]
00:44:48
◼
►
where everybody in the village knows
[TS]
00:44:50
◼
►
everybody else's business it takes this
[TS]
00:44:51
◼
►
village to scan a child that's right we
[TS]
00:44:54
◼
►
take away the anonymity of of our
[TS]
00:44:57
◼
►
metropolis I'd like to have a little bit
[TS]
00:44:59
◼
►
magnanimity there's a couple questions
[TS]
00:45:01
◼
►
like this into the trail I mean you know
[TS]
00:45:03
◼
►
don't go don't go out is one of the one
[TS]
00:45:04
◼
►
solution but also I mean yeah you don't
[TS]
00:45:06
◼
►
want to you don't want to be in in a in
[TS]
00:45:08
◼
►
a black mirror yeah well we're sitting
[TS]
00:45:10
◼
►
around the quad I just sit in the
[TS]
00:45:12
◼
►
cornfield I just want them to build
[TS]
00:45:14
◼
►
trail for no money for 12 years I don't
[TS]
00:45:16
◼
►
think that's too much to ask some of
[TS]
00:45:17
◼
►
these kids are a real problem John I you
[TS]
00:45:20
◼
►
know the thing about kids is that they
[TS]
00:45:22
◼
►
could self-select because I'm around
[TS]
00:45:24
◼
►
people all the time who because I'm
[TS]
00:45:26
◼
►
living in a world of liberal like modern
[TS]
00:45:29
◼
►
contemporary parents uh Ron people who
[TS]
00:45:32
◼
►
say well let me go ask my four-year-old
[TS]
00:45:36
◼
►
and see what she wants to do we always
[TS]
00:45:38
◼
►
do that yeah and it's like it's good to
[TS]
00:45:42
◼
►
take that into consideration but your
[TS]
00:45:44
◼
►
four-year-old sometimes just wants to
[TS]
00:45:45
◼
►
poop in their hand and throw it on the
[TS]
00:45:47
◼
►
wall that's true and if you're and you
[TS]
00:45:50
◼
►
are the grown-ups here and so eventually
[TS]
00:45:53
◼
►
you're gonna have too big a choice and I
[TS]
00:45:56
◼
►
think a lot of but but at a certain
[TS]
00:45:58
◼
►
point when they're 14 or even 10 I guess
[TS]
00:46:02
◼
►
what they want to do is a much bigger
[TS]
00:46:05
◼
►
part of your calculation and I think a
[TS]
00:46:08
◼
►
lot of 10 year olds just want to go do
[TS]
00:46:12
◼
►
something like weird and mechanical and
[TS]
00:46:14
◼
►
wouldn't it be great if we could also
[TS]
00:46:16
◼
►
it's like all those dummies that are
[TS]
00:46:18
◼
►
running on treadmills at the gym if the
[TS]
00:46:21
◼
►
Energy's going nowhere yeah if we could
[TS]
00:46:23
◼
►
just turn that into work
[TS]
00:46:24
◼
►
somehow tears in rain well this this
[TS]
00:46:26
◼
►
really hits close to home for me because
[TS]
00:46:28
◼
►
my daughter she's I don't say that she's
[TS]
00:46:31
◼
►
late to this she's been doing it a long
[TS]
00:46:32
◼
►
time but she's into the Minecraft which
[TS]
00:46:34
◼
►
is a video game that's kind of like Lego
[TS]
00:46:36
◼
►
you build stuff everything is a is a
[TS]
00:46:38
◼
►
cube and there's different kinds of
[TS]
00:46:40
◼
►
cubes and you can make this all this
[TS]
00:46:41
◼
►
amazing stuff so I'm just saying at this
[TS]
00:46:43
◼
►
point she already definitely has an
[TS]
00:46:44
◼
►
interest interest in infrastructure and
[TS]
00:46:46
◼
►
maybe I could leverage that if somebody
[TS]
00:46:48
◼
►
scan her hard enough five six people
[TS]
00:46:49
◼
►
scan her you know maybe she maybe she
[TS]
00:46:51
◼
►
goes to Oregon and makes a trail well
[TS]
00:46:53
◼
►
and minecraft does feel this is again on
[TS]
00:46:55
◼
►
the continuum of history and we're in
[TS]
00:46:57
◼
►
the middle of it minecraft has attracted
[TS]
00:47:01
◼
►
so much mind energy and so much time and
[TS]
00:47:05
◼
►
focus and like creative focus of such a
[TS]
00:47:08
◼
►
huge number of kids that we had never we
[TS]
00:47:11
◼
►
formerly didn't the all those kids were
[TS]
00:47:14
◼
►
not coordinated their efforts all across
[TS]
00:47:17
◼
►
America kids were building things with
[TS]
00:47:19
◼
►
Legos but there wasn't any central
[TS]
00:47:21

repository they were they go under a
[TS]
00:47:23
◼
►
bushel basket right
[TS]
00:47:25
◼

I mean gravity was just pulling them and
[TS]
00:47:28
◼
►
in their own little muddy corner yeah
[TS]
00:47:30
◼
►
now we have all that collected energy
[TS]
00:47:33
◼
►
but we're still basically doing it and
[TS]
00:47:35
◼
►
making it making a thing that just is a
[TS]
00:47:37
◼

thing of itself it doesn't those
[TS]
00:47:40
◼
►
minecraft buildings aren't real hmm and
[TS]
00:47:43
◼
►
we're I think still thinking maybe in
[TS]
00:47:47
◼

terms of well we're all headed into this
[TS]
00:47:51
◼

virtual reality there we have the doors
[TS]
00:47:54
◼

are open the garage door is open down
[TS]
00:47:55
◼

we're gradually transferring our energy
[TS]
00:47:58
◼

into this space where think we're
[TS]
00:48:01
◼
►
unphysical things do become real because
[TS]
00:48:05
◼

they're real in this in this clewd mmm
[TS]
00:48:12
◼

they're only not real to us they're very
[TS]
00:48:15
◼
►
real to the people that are making them
[TS]
00:48:16
◼
►
right but they don't do actual work but
[TS]
00:48:20
◼

but increasingly if they're generating
[TS]
00:48:22
◼

bitcoins and how do you separate them
[TS]
00:48:25
◼

from things that are you know how do you
[TS]

start using phones that don't have

00:49:16

screens anymore we're gonna go back
[TS]
00:49:18

we're gonna go back to flip phones right
[TS]
00:49:20

back to mono mm-hmm who knows who knows
[TS]
00:49:23
◼

hmm how can we know how could we know
[TS]
00:49:27
◼

unless we wanted to talk about contract
[TS]
00:49:30
◼

mmm it's gonna have to come up at some
[TS]
00:49:32
◼

point but so I didn't use it as part of
[TS]
00:49:34
◼

it that minecraft is a little bit like
[TS]
00:49:36
◼

the exercise bike in the sense that like
[TS]
00:49:38
◼

do you think that should be actually and
[TS]
00:49:40
◼

again this when I'm not talking about
[TS]
00:49:41
◼

time travel but do you think those
[TS]
00:49:42
◼

should actually be generating something
[TS]
00:49:44
◼

for someone to live in somewhere where
[TS]
00:49:46
◼

that's another child in a Minecraft it
[TS]
00:49:47
◼

could be a squirrel who's tired of

00:49:48

living in a pine cone it could be could
[TS]
00:49:50

be Jesse thorn who's up on a high
[TS]
00:49:51
◼

mountain shouldn't somebody be living
[TS]
00:49:53
◼

that or should we be harnessing the
[TS]
00:49:54
◼
►
energy in a spooky action sort of way to
[TS]
00:49:56
◼
►
direct all that activity is something
[TS]
00:49:58
◼

else some kind of an activity sink where
[TS]
00:50:00
◼
►
we could store all this like a battery
[TS]
00:50:01
◼
►
well what do you that's that is what I'm
[TS]
00:50:05
◼
►
right like right so develop the first
[TS]
00:50:06
◼
►
one of these that we did was the the
[TS]
00:50:10
◼
►
widely distributed SETI work right
[TS]
00:50:13
◼
►
everybody right all the nerds around the
[TS]
00:50:16
◼

country set their computers so that when
[TS]
00:50:18
◼
►
they weren't actively working on them
[TS]
00:50:20
◼

they were using their distributed power
[TS]
00:50:22
◼

of all these IBM pcs with 128 K to to do
[TS]
00:50:27
◼

the you know the back-breaking labor of
[TS]
00:50:29
◼

of looking through all this data data
[TS]
00:50:33
◼
►
data data data data we don't have enough
[TS]
00:50:36
◼
►
room on our Cray supercomputer to
[TS]
00:50:37
◼
►
calculate all this fucking static and so
[TS]
00:50:40
◼
►
it's we're going to distribute it across
[TS]
00:50:42
◼
►
all these dumb compacts
[TS]
00:50:45
◼
►
and so but said he seems to be and and
[TS]
00:50:50
◼
►
and you know and part of like the
[TS]
00:50:52
◼
►
implication of the cloade
[TS]
00:50:55
◼
►
and oh and then the next thing was
[TS]
00:50:56
◼
►
file-sharing right then that that if you
[TS]
00:50:59
◼
►
went on and said I want to watch
[TS]
00:51:00
◼
►
Braveheart starring Mel Gibson uh I'm
[TS]
00:51:05
◼
►
gonna find it it's available out there
[TS]
00:51:09
◼
►
Emily announced ur type situation yeah
[TS]
00:51:11
◼

and the funny consequence of that was
[TS]
00:51:14
◼
►
the previous model of the last two
[TS]
00:51:15
◼
►
hundred years or whatever has been based
[TS]
00:51:17
◼

on privation and the idea of a limited
[TS]
00:51:19
◼

physical copy sitting in a store that
[TS]
00:51:21
◼
►
someone has a license to sell you going
[TS]
00:51:23
◼
►
to buy it that's one less copy in the
[TS]
00:51:24
◼
►
world not only was that up ended with
[TS]
00:51:26
◼
►
file-sharing but in fact turns out if
[TS]
00:51:28
◼
►
Britney Spears is mp3 was the most
[TS]
00:51:31
◼
►
popular mp3 you actually got it faster
[TS]
00:51:33
◼
►
not slower right right right that's not
[TS]
00:51:37
◼
►
just the license to sell that's a
[TS]
00:51:38
◼
►
license to ill mm-hmm-hmm but let you
[TS]
00:51:41
◼
►
look at somebody like an Elon Musk what
[TS]
00:51:43
◼
►
if what if an Elon Musk under you're a
[TS]
00:51:44
◼
►
fan of his work you could
[TS]
00:51:45
◼
►
similar-looking Elon Musk what if he
[TS]
00:51:46
◼
►
said hey who says batteries are only for
[TS]
00:51:49
◼
►
storing energy what if what about
[TS]
00:51:52
◼
►
battery the store different kinds of
[TS]
00:51:53
◼
►
things the obvious thing would be that
[TS]
00:51:54
◼
►
when you make your minecraft village
[TS]
00:51:56
◼
►
somehow I don't maybe your attention
[TS]
00:51:57
◼
►
goes into that you get attention sync
[TS]
00:51:58
◼
►
you get kind of a time battery are there
[TS]
00:52:00
◼
►
other kinds of things that could be
[TS]
00:52:02
◼
►
stored for future use inside of a
[TS]
00:52:04
◼
►
potentially renewable battery is that is
[TS]
00:52:05
◼
►
a cloud technology anybody is working on
[TS]
00:52:07
◼
►
right now exactamundo
[TS]
00:52:10
◼
►
so we know it's going somewhere all that
[TS]
00:52:11
◼
►
attention is going somewhere where are
[TS]
00:52:13
◼
►
we not capturing that if they're not
[TS]
00:52:14
◼
►
going to be building trail they should
[TS]
00:52:15
◼
►
at least be filling whatever the battery
[TS]
00:52:17
◼
►
is is is holding at a basic physical
[TS]
00:52:20
◼
►
level all of the typing that we all do
[TS]
00:52:24
◼
►
on our computer listen we think that
[TS]
00:52:27
◼
►
when we push the button down what we're
[TS]
00:52:29
◼
►
producing is a letter on our magic
[TS]
00:52:31
◼
►
screen okay but in fact we're also
[TS]
00:52:35
◼
►
generating heat that is dissipating
[TS]
00:52:38
◼
►
right and I don't mean battery heat but
[TS]
00:52:40
◼
►
you're pushing up and down on these
[TS]
00:52:41
◼
►
buttons so thermodynamically yeah right
[TS]
00:52:45
◼
►
on though we're pushing up and down on
[TS]
00:52:46
◼
►
these buttons and they are tiny levers
[TS]
00:52:48
◼
►
and they have resistance built into them
[TS]
00:52:51
◼
►
like there is resistance to make it feel
[TS]
00:52:54
◼
►
tactile we could be just using those tie
[TS]
00:52:58
◼
►
weird like unroll a piano key like in
[TS]
00:53:02
◼
►
big and dance a jig but we have these
[TS]
00:53:07
◼
►
little buttons because we like the feel
[TS]
00:53:08
◼
►
of them and we like the clickety
[TS]
00:53:10
◼
►
clackety sound but then all these are
[TS]
00:53:12
◼
►
the letters and all that heat makes
[TS]
00:53:14
◼
►
words the words make sentences so
[TS]
00:53:16
◼
►
science of something's accumulating it
[TS]
00:53:18
◼
►
is but what we're what we're missing is
[TS]
00:53:22
◼
►
that we could also be harnessing the
[TS]
00:53:25
◼
►
energy the tiny little energy if we had
[TS]
00:53:29
◼
►
little generators attached to the keys
[TS]
00:53:32
◼
►
of the keyboard sort of like we need a
[TS]
00:53:34
◼
►
kid you get one of those flashlights she
[TS]
00:53:36
◼
►
goes use use use use you it looks like
[TS]
00:53:38
◼
►
one of those things MOOCs use to get
[TS]
00:53:40
◼
►
their hands strong you go Zhu Zhu Zhu
[TS]
00:53:42
◼
►
you and that charges up the battery
[TS]
00:53:43
◼
►
similar kind of situation there's some
[TS]
00:53:45
◼
►
kind of a kinetic potential kinetic
[TS]
00:53:47
◼
►
energy that there's moving moving
[TS]
00:53:49
◼
►
through the device and is then getting
[TS]
00:53:51
◼
►
snowed in Elon Musk battery well yeah so
[TS]
00:53:54
◼
►
we we think of power generation through
[TS]
00:53:56
◼
►
through friction as being something that
[TS]
00:53:59
◼
►
we do on a large scale like at out of
[TS]
00:54:00
◼
►
the at a hydroelectric dam
[TS]
00:54:03
◼
►
we're running tons and tons of water
[TS]
00:54:04
◼
►
through these giant generators but if
[TS]
00:54:07
◼
►
every computer in the country had a tiny
[TS]
00:54:10
◼
►
little had tiny little generators under
[TS]
00:54:12
◼
►
every key but they were all linked
[TS]
00:54:15
◼
►
together in such a way that we were
[TS]
00:54:17
◼
►
generating megawatts of electricity just
[TS]
00:54:20
◼
►
from the action of our fingers pushing
[TS]
00:54:22
◼
►
these buttons up and down we think we're
[TS]
00:54:25
◼
►
doing one kind of work which is making
[TS]
00:54:27
◼
►
words but the actual but we're also
[TS]
00:54:30
◼
►
actually generating electricity just
[TS]
00:54:33
◼
►
like we were just like we are if we're
[TS]
00:54:35
◼
►
running on a treadmill
[TS]
00:54:36
◼
►
we're actually generating power
[TS]
00:54:39
◼
►
experience if this is not diminished at
[TS]
00:54:41
◼
►
all in fact we like we like the the
[TS]
00:54:43
◼
►
frisson as you say that that met shot in
[TS]
00:54:44
◼
►
the experience we like that but then
[TS]
00:54:46
◼
►
like where's that going to go
[TS]
00:54:47
◼
►
it's the regenerative braking concept
[TS]
00:54:51
◼
►
like if you take your battery-powered
[TS]
00:54:53
◼
►
car up to 80 miles an hour and then you
[TS]
00:54:55
◼
►
put on the brakes why don't you put some
[TS]
00:54:56
◼
►
of that energy back in the battery the
[TS]
00:54:57
◼
►
more you stop the more energy you get
[TS]
00:54:59
◼
►
the love you love you make is equal to
[TS]
00:55:01
◼
►
the love you take mm-hmm but so if you
[TS]
00:55:05
◼
►
then figure out a way to use mind to
[TS]
00:55:08
◼
►
capture mind energy the same way all
[TS]
00:55:10
◼
►
these kids out there making my
[TS]
00:55:12
◼
►
Kraft Eiffel Towers I don't mean to
[TS]
00:55:16
◼
►
suggest that we that we invent a game
[TS]
00:55:19
◼
►
that employs that power to actually
[TS]
00:55:22
◼
►
create something that the kids don't
[TS]
00:55:25
◼
►
that they're not aware they're creating
[TS]
00:55:27
◼
►
their play yes it they wouldn't miss it
[TS]
00:55:29
◼

they're already doing nothing to help
[TS]
00:55:31
◼
►
society at least we did whatever their
[TS]
00:55:33
◼
►
pleasure is and find some way to put it
[TS]
00:55:34
◼
►
into like a into a into a device a
[TS]
00:55:37
◼
►
storage device so kind of a kind of
[TS]
00:55:38
◼
►
existential hard drive or that they are
[TS]
00:55:40
◼
►
building a larger structure that they're
[TS]
00:55:42
◼
►
not aware of because the game that
[TS]
00:55:45
◼
►
they're playing like for instance I sit
[TS]
00:55:47
◼
►
in place fucking threes all day hey now
[TS]
00:55:51
◼
►
because I got back on the habit I
[TS]
00:55:53
◼
►
thought I I thought I had kicked it I
[TS]
00:55:55
◼
►
thought I could do it I thought I could
[TS]
00:55:56
◼
►
go bad I was bummed but I just play play
[TS]
00:55:59
◼
►
game on New Year's Eve yeah just to
[TS]
00:56:01
◼
►
celebrate my you know my independence
[TS]
00:56:04
◼
►
but what if moving those numbers around
[TS]
00:56:07
◼
►
was actually somehow also calculating
[TS]
00:56:11
◼
►
something and I shall show you something
[TS]
00:56:15
◼
►
here I just sent you a link to something
[TS]
00:56:17
◼
►
in Skype you don't have to click it but
[TS]
00:56:18
◼

let me just explain to you yes I have
[TS]
00:56:20
◼

them at how a problem I have home
[TS]
00:56:21
◼
►
automation I have things I have I have
[TS]
00:56:23
◼
►
the brand of light cloud Philips hue
[TS]
00:56:25
◼
►
hey nerds present you're saying this out
[TS]
00:56:27
◼
►
loud I know I know I don't get hacked
[TS]
00:56:29
◼
►
but the thing is did you say hey I gotta
[TS]
00:56:32
◼
►
get hit I'm saying like micro
[TS]
00:56:34
◼
►
sister-in-law
[TS]
00:56:35
◼
►
every every time she uses the same
[TS]
00:56:36
◼
►
username and password and tells me she
[TS]
00:56:38
◼
►
got hacked yes I got hate I got hacked
[TS]
00:56:40
◼
►
that's cuz you using bits here's the
[TS]
00:56:42
◼
►
thing this is the thing that changed
[TS]
00:56:45
◼
►
this whole thing I'm going somewhere
[TS]
00:56:47
◼
►
with this is called the Philips hue tap
[TS]
00:56:48
◼
►
switch and this is the thing that
[TS]
00:56:50
◼
►
changed everything is any room where you
[TS]
00:56:51
◼
►
got these dingaling lights do you want
[TS]
00:56:52
◼
►
to be a person who's using your phone to
[TS]
00:56:53
◼
►
turn the lights on and off no you won't
[TS]
00:56:55
◼
►
have a switch on the wall now this which
[TS]
00:56:56
◼
►
is really cool kind of costly but it's
[TS]
00:56:58
◼
►
really cool because it's got four
[TS]
00:56:59
◼
►
buttons on it and you can program the
[TS]
00:57:01
◼
►
buttons to do all kinds of stuff in most
[TS]
00:57:03
◼
►
cases these are that big fat button is
[TS]
00:57:05
◼
►
usually the off button and then you can
[TS]
00:57:07
◼
►
have what's called a scene associated
[TS]
00:57:08
◼
►
with it but wait the whole thing is a
[TS]
00:57:10
◼
►
button so it's four buttons do you see
[TS]
00:57:12
◼
►
each of the I'm looking at it I have
[TS]
00:57:14
◼
►
three buttons then that's got four
[TS]
00:57:16
◼
►
because the big one the one with the one
[TS]
00:57:18
◼
►
dot is actually a big button oh the hole
[TS]
00:57:20
◼
►
so big stuff anywhere that's not a
[TS]
00:57:22
◼
►
button is also a button
[TS]
00:57:24
◼
►
oh right that would that put that your
[TS]
00:57:26
◼
►
battery in store it yeah things the but
[TS]
00:57:29
◼
►
this things its revolutionary it's
[TS]
00:57:31
◼
►
changed everything in the house but
[TS]
00:57:32
◼

here's the thing about this if you're
[TS]
00:57:33
◼
►
looking at that specifications ready for
[TS]
00:57:35
◼
►
this this thing it doesn't have a
[TS]
00:57:36
◼
►
battery it doesn't have an electric it
[TS]
00:57:39
◼
►
is powered by wait for it kinetic energy
[TS]
00:57:42
◼
►
by using this thing you power this thing
[TS]
00:57:45
◼

there it is there it is there it is
[TS]
00:57:47
◼

kinetic energy what every one of our
[TS]
00:57:50
◼

computers could be doing this right now
[TS]
00:57:51
◼

the energy that we put into them starts
[TS]
00:57:52
◼

small let it begin with me you limit my
[TS]
00:57:55
◼

bullshit typing here on the keyboard how
[TS]
00:57:57
◼

is that not powering my computer and
[TS]
00:57:58

generating Bitcoin isn't that something
[TS]
00:58:00

that could be happening it has a

background called a background process
[TS]
00:58:03

beebeep people be but could it put it
[TS]
00:58:06

into the storage facility I don't know I

don't think I get too small I mean yes

be once we get our all-over body suits
[TS]
01:04:25
◼

that are
[TS]
01:04:26
◼

first of all solar solar collecting they
[TS]
01:04:29

generate in the course of a day every

01:04:32
◼

time we hug somebody you tell me I can
[TS]
01:04:34
◼

get a codpiece where friction on the

codpiece would actually generate energy
[TS]
01:04:37
◼

or in the case of Elon Musk other things
[TS]
01:04:39
◼

that can be stored in batteries it could

hand all day up and down back and forth
