So I don't know if that sounds odd to some people, but if you think about it, even if you think about it that way, just as an experiment, it just makes things more clear.
Oh, this whole oppression over the last eight years has been very much, I was going to say 100%, I was going to say like 86% spiritual. I mean, it's definitely... I mean, people who are familiar with spiritual warfare will know what I'm talking about, but there's a spirit called Jezebel that shuts the mouths of prophets. In the Old Testament, she was the wife of one of the kings.
Anyway, when you think about it, what prophets do is they— Anyway, they begin new things, right? With what they're saying, they open awareness, they begin new things. And so when you think about it, that that really is the spirit that would tamp down on anything new happening in a society, right?
not just what profits are saying, but what, what new things, I mean, just look, like I said, just look at culture. I mean, we've had, why do you think like the whole film business is just reboots and rehashing like for a solid 15 years? There's some exceptions of course, but that when, when's the last time we had that? Like that's, that's unique. I feel like to the last 15, 20 years, um,
Anyway, so I mean, I could say more about what you do with that spirit. But one of the things I said is like just enough individuals just said, OK, enough about that. Enough with this. I want to move on. I want something new. And so the momentum.
Oh, I don't know. I mean, this is just my take on religion. Religion can be good. It couldn't be sort of organizational for somebody. It can be organizational for them, not only in the way they're trying to get an idea of God, but also within the community. Some churches are great at taking care of those in the community and all this.
But the trouble comes with, and this happens quite often, people trying to twist scripture and religion for their own end. And so that's where a lot of... You're back to the enemy again. Well, that's exactly what operates through that.
There's actually one, I mean, I'm sure there's a lot of Bibles that do this, but there's a Bible, if anyone's interested, called the Spirit-Filled Life Bible by Jack Hayford, who ran Church on the Way in Van Nuys, California. Anyway, it has definitions to all these words like sin. And you look at... That was the first one I looked up and I went, I went, are you kidding me?
That means to miss the mark? Like in the Greek, I was like, are you joking? Like all this time, you know, anyway, it makes it, you know, certain church leaders have made certain words seem like sort of terrible indicators of how awful you are, which is not. what those words mean. So anyway, that's helpful.
And the, the, that Bible version also has historical context for a lot of the, for all the books that were written and stuff. So that's really useful too. Anyway. So religion can be good for some. But the most important aspect of religion, if it's going to be useful, is to facilitate a relationship between an individual and God.
And whatever they want, you know, if you can call it higher power or you're going to call it nature or the sun, whatever. It's so long as it's something that you believe or you're going to take the chance and believe that. completely cares about you, knows everything about you, will never leave you, will always give you wisdom, will always help you, and you're good to go.
And oftentimes, and then I feel like then you're able to get rid of the buttons because then you're able to get rid of these irrational fears because you can swap an irrational fear for a belief that you're going to be okay. whatever that irrational fear is, it's usually about like, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, and kind of rightly so. There were a lot of examples made of other people. So it was not for nothing. Like I said, that momentum necessary was there.
Um, yeah, you just go to my sub stack, um, uh, uh, uh, kind of talk show, whatever. I don't know what to call it yet. You know, side-by-side video, just chatting with people. And also I'll be showing my two new films, uh, um, feel and look, um, after they premiered the, at the film festival, though, those will show on my, uh, sub stack exclusively.
Well, to me, generative AI is one of the worst ideas we've ever had in the sense that it will be used primarily by people who are looking to eliminate contact with employment of the care of other people. It doesn't make, I just, you know, about entertainment in particular, it doesn't make better films.
It's not being used in the film business because, you know, it will, you know, usher in a whole new wave of incredible films that will change our lives. No. It's being used in the entertainment business because it's cheaper and faster than using people, period. And the insulting aspect of it and the criminal aspect of it really is that it is completely based on other people's work.
So it can't function without first being fed hundred years of films and TV series.
No, it's like a blender. It can't function out being fed. If you want it to spit out a novel, but all you fed it or films, it's, it doesn't know what you're talking about. So you've got to feed it in millions of, of, of books. And then you,
You know, if you say I want a book about, you know, pandas that ride motorcycles, so long as you fed in books about motorcycles and books about pandas and, you know, anything else, it can spit out a Frankenstein spoonful of it. So that's what's truly offensive about it. It's not some new tech. It is like that AI thing you were going to read me.
