It's not like I have a whole lot of references to go upon with this experiment.

But then so then as when I arrived in L.A., January 26, 2025, I arrived in Griffith Park and I had put the word out that I'd be arriving at that time.

There was maybe 30 or 40 people waiting there.

And part of why they were waiting there is they were going to help me become the human who owns nothing.

I gave away all my items to people there.

I held up each item and shared, you know, would this be meaningful to you?

My sleeping bag or the backpack or my personal hygiene items, whatever they would be.

Just one by one by one over a period of about a half hour, I got to the point where the last thing to take off was the long underwear that I was wearing on this cold, rainy day in Los Angeles.

And I sat naked in Griffith Park, covered with a palm frond, owning absolutely no physical possessions, having downsized almost everything online and even...

not having the password to any of my digital anything.

So there was still some digital ownership, which is a whole nother realm that we exist in, that we have today.

But I gave myself this practice where I had no access to any of those either.

And then I lived for the next three months in Griffith Park, practicing complete non-ownership.

Yes, I'm very glad you brought that up.

I think this is a perfect moment to remind people that my message is not for anybody to do just as I do.

My message is not for people to live this extreme life just as I do.

Hey, if that's what you want to do, I completely support you if you want to radically transform your life and rethink everything.

But that's not the point.

The point is just what you talked about.

It's about critical thinking.
