I was groomed to sign my first billion-year contract when I was five.

I believed in the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus and the Sandman and the Toot Fairy.

And this is a time where I'm going to believe anything anyone says to me.

So when they tell me that I'm signing this contract and the reason I'm not seeing my mother is because she has to save the planet.

And if I just allow myself to suffer, then I'll see her in a year and we'll get on a spaceship and go save another planet.

I believe that as much as I believe in the kind of brick, oppressive building with no air conditioning that I'm living in.

Yeah, I mean, on the day of my birth, I was handed over to a religious paramilitary organization, high control authoritarian group, whatever you want to call it, on the outskirts of downtown Los Angeles in a slum tenement where I spent the first two and a half years of my life with little to no human touch.

And that would be the beginning of pretty much a 20-year gauntlet where I wouldn't go to school and I would literally be animalized.

Well, in this group, the basic belief system is that we're all trillion-year-old fallen gods that have had millions and billions of lifetimes before.

So you're not really a baby.

You're a fallen god, complete adult that's been an adult millions and millions of times in a baby body.

So you don't really need to be treated like a baby or a toddler.

You just need to remember.

Just the idea is that time is running out to save the planet.

If we don't get rid of everyone's reactionary mind, we're going to die in nuclear fire.

We have a limited time.

So kids are a distraction and they need to be penned over here like livestock.

until they're 10 or 12 years old and we can put them to work.

They spent no money on the facilities because we weren't useful.

We weren't contributing.
