Full Episode
Like a million dollars and I'm like, own a company that makes the thing I'm telling you to study. Right. You know, it's usually not super direct because that's just like criminal fraud, but it's almost like the grants at universities where it's just like implied or like in Hollywood, it's who gets the development deal. And then you just see what the behavior is and then you mimic that.
All right, guys, Owen Benjamin here, one of the most canceled people on the internet, right? At one point, yeah, at one point, I think that's turning around, though. I think the world kind of caught up to some of my wild thoughts. Yeah, you were like five years ahead of everyone.
Yeah, I think so. And then there's people way ahead of me too. It's not like, you know, I'm starting to see that the past is the future. You know, I might just go full Amish. I think they're the most cutting edge guys out there. I mean, no mental health issues. They seem pretty happy. Yeah, they make all their own stuff. You know, they got horses. I'm in.
I get my dogs from Amish, man. They make the best dogs. What kind of dogs? We got an Australian Shepherd and a Golden Retriever. Nice, man. But we went up to PA. I used to live in Jersey, so we went up to PA, got them, and just witnessing their lifestyle, I was like, this is not bad, you know?
Yeah, I love seeing like a nine-year-old skinning a raccoon to like sell it to a Chinese market or something. It's just, they're so, you know, my kids are like that living on a homestead too. They're kind of like more advanced than I was at that age when it comes to just being like adults, you know?
They still have that innocence of kids, but they can just, you know, kill a chicken and eat it at eight. Wow, at eight years old, that's impressive. Yeah, the homestead lifestyle is appealing. At the same time, you still need to make money though, right?
Yeah, it can all start blending together. When I was talking to your buddy out there, it's funny how in the last special, I did a bit about how I don't even know what I say, what I do for a living. It's almost like I sound like a mob guy, you know, where you can mix so many things together now.
And I just think things are going more local and more decentralized that, you know, like I can sell butter at a premium from my cows and then I can do my podcast from home and all that. How does one make butter? I'm interested in that process.
Oh, dude, I could talk about this forever. I mean, my wife just did a class on how to make cheddar. Really? Because it's so interesting. Like the metaphors and the fractals for society, that's where my brain goes, is just fascinating. You know, the cream rises, all those like sayings that everyone, no one knows where they come from. It all comes from farming.
