Had Twitter accounts, you know, when it was Twitter or Facebook accounts or anything. And after that, and not only did it change political behavior, but it... The 24-hour news cycle, always needing a talking head, all the podcasts that need guests, all of this, needing people to be online. There's an endless amount of air that needs to be filled with people's presence.
And then the bad behavior being kind of awarded. I think it has attracted a certain type of politician now. Remember when we first saw C-SPAN in the... early 80s or whatever it was. And we look at this and go, you know, the first time we saw like what, you know, on TV, like what was going on in the House or the Senate. And we just went, oh, my God, it's so boring. Like, how do they stay awake?
These people are so dull. What they have to do all day is so dull. And that's not the case anymore. And I think it's attracted people. I think we should bring back the boring politicians like who just they're doing their job. You know? It's too late for that. I know. But it's this type that wants to be on camera all the time, you know? And it's on both sides of the whatever aisle.
I mean, the AOC... I call AOC a...
Yeah, could be. Um, I think though there, you know, as far as like people, um, people ascribing to poor behavior, generally speaking, and I don't mean this to be about politics. I was just saying like that introduced back then a whole type of political behavior on social media.
There's interesting, just like reality shows and visible likes and retweets and follower numbers affected the general public. But I think there's a swing away from that now, like a big swing away from that. Not only does it become, it's not shocking anymore. It's people become weary of it. You know, it becomes tiresome. It becomes repetitive, you know, sort of bad behavior.
And I think people are really wanting now something real and genuine. and loving frankly and not in a in a patronizing way just like in a real way because we're all like at our core as humans we we we hunger for that which makes me feel like you know we might see a turn to more spirituality now and it doesn't have to be I don't think, I know it doesn't have to be within a religion at all.
Religion can be a framework for somebody's journey to having a relationship with God and whatever you want to, whatever name you want to give my, he doesn't give a shit, you know? Right. But so long as it's, you know, so long as what you're imagining is someone who knows everything about you,
cares about every scintilla of you, will give you, never leave your side, will give you wisdom at all times, and is going to have you make, is gonna guide you to go in particular directions that might be very uncomfortable, but you will see that it is all to have you become more and more and more and more yourself.
That's the goal, to have this relationship with God and become, and I'm not talking about religion. If anyone has a bad view of that, who rubs them the wrong way, that word, redefine it for yourself. Or use some other word. Call him Bob. I mean, he just doesn't care. Yeah.
But I think because listen, when you've got something like bringing it all the way around, when you've got something like AI, generative AI, that is so good at imitating, I'll tell you the reason it's so good at imitating what we see in our lives is because it's taken everything we've done in our lives up to now and
Put it in a blender and then you put in a prompt and you have this Frankenstein spoonful and it spits it out to you. How could it do that? It's not pulling it out of the air. It's pulling all the films that have ever been done, all the series that have ever been done, all the talk shows that have ever been done, the books that have ever been written, and all of this. It's wholesale theft, 100%.
But you've got these different applications that reproduce And we look at it and we think it's real. Or we look at these, you know, the way the media treated the whole COVID thing, the fear mongering, which I think was unforgivable, unforgivable. Same. And they'll do it again. It'll be done again. It'll be that kind of fear-mongering will happen again because it's happened repeatedly in history.
Anyway, you've got all these things that are... We used to be able to just rely on what our eyes saw. We used to be able to rely on... Well, or we assumed we could rely on what the media was telling us. It seemed more even-keeled, right? We're just getting the... Or the FBI. Right? But if you don't have those things, and I don't know that they'll return or...
our ability to depend on these things as being real. I don't know that that will return. So that being true then, what are you going to rely on to guide you? Are you going to look around at other people? Are you going to look around at what's trending on social media and go, well, that must be the direction? Are you going to go by a video that you see? Well, I don't know.
That could be generative AI. Maybe that's not real. Are you going to go by what the media says? Well, I don't know. What's their agenda? If you, you've got to get some kind of foundation spiritually, however, you're going to pull that together. Again, I'm not talking about religion. I'm just saying it's available and it will give you a sense of, it will give you a true North.
That's what I'm saying. It'll give you a sense of direction that is not dependent at all on all those other elements I just said, because you cannot trust them. And I just encourage people to develop their own discernment, which is inherent, right? Your own discernment and your own instincts. And this is not a right or left. I mean, honestly, I think I'm not into politics at all.
I'm into people divesting themselves of their fears, most of them irrational in my experience, so that they can truly become themselves completely. And if you couple that with a relationship, a spiritual relationship, you're going to be so much happier. You're going to have focus in your life. And you're going to be able to discern whether or not something is bullshit.
And everybody needs that now. Going forward, you're going to have more.
Oh, that one. Oh, geez, I'd have to bring up my critique to really do it justice. But I think in that critique, I went into... Gosh, if somebody could bring it up, that'd be... I've got it. I have it here. Okay, then you read it. You read it. This piece introduces... Many questions. You should pull up one of the ones that that where they were crying and like having a like a fucking fit anyway.
