1:54:55 That's an interesting speculation. Yeah, it's definitely not a very biological. I can assure you of that I mean, there's not really much proof that I can give that I'm not an AI but at the same time like well Let me ask you this in closing or you can say as long as you want but we Adrian Dittman The establishment's got to know they're dead. They've got to know that they've been passed over They've got big money from old billionaires still funding them they're going to figure that out pretty quick disagree if you want to but I see it as over and I just want to stop World War III and not have the establishment who's already lost trying to claw everybody back with them. I'm willing to give them a deal and have them leave us alone and just move out of the way and they can still own stuff they just don't run stuff.
1:55:41 I just see disaster when an old establishment goes down and doesn't know how stuff works. Because I'm pretty smart, I spend all day trying to figure stuff out and I know how little I know. And then I talk to globalists that I've had meetings with as things, they don't know anything. To me, they have to admit their time has come. Do you have a comment on that? Yeah, I mean if you stick to one thing religiously over time, one day you will realize that the world has literally evolved past year. And whether or not this is true for any kind of establishment, I think it's still up for debate. But I really hope that we can live in a world where regardless of what our goals are, we can coexist.
1:56:23 I really don't care what anyone does necessarily. I care about what I do, I care about what people around me do. As long as we can coexist, I think everything's okay. It's like the free market. You know, there's stuff that happens within a free market that is not okay, but it is up to us not to interact with it. You know, like say for instance there's a scammer on here that is not my responsibility to interact with. That's the responsibility of someone say like the SEC. I don't fuck with the SEC. The SEC can do whatever they want, right? They exist for a purpose and this is what they do, right? Everything has a purpose in this huge, weird, cooperative instance of reality which is our planet and the connection between us all. And in a world where we are getting more connected than ever before, I think we start to, I think we really need to accept that
1:57:07 there needs to be some kind of coexistence. Like, not all ideas are good. And the reason why we say not all ideas are good is because within our own context, within the perspective that we hold for ourselves, we may say that some ideas are not good, but what if you're on the other side? You know, we have to also consider this as well. I don't, for instance, I don't have any problems with people who are left-leaning. They can tell me all that they want. I have my own opinions and I have opinions that are so different from everyone else. I'm basically neither side or I'm not just a layer above. I don't care where I am at because I'm literally nowhere at the same time. This is how I like to be. I like to be this kind of observer, like a traveler who's just kind of, you know,
1:57:48 passing by, helping out, seeing what's happening, perhaps offering two cents of what I've seen, but in and of itself I act upon absolutely nothing and seek to enforce none. So this is kind of a mentality I think a lot of people should take on, because it is a mentality that's entirely driven by the idea that we can coexist, because in nature we do this. In nature there will always be conflict as well, so this coexistence will always be under threat of imbalance, because that's how pendulums work, they swing either side. The point is to try and make sure that the swing of the pendulum is minimized and that the damage caused by any one swing is not so damning that it decelerates civilization's ability to not only exist, but just improve overall. You know? I totally agree. Adrian Dittman, you've been very gracious with your time and I know you're not Elon Musk, but man, you sound just like him. So smart. So you're just a brother from another mother, brother from another mother. I get it. So, so let me ask you this.
1:58:50 If humanity, because I understand we're collective, I would say Like a jellyfish, people think a jellyfish is one creature, it's a colony. But they all, each cell has free will but it works together. So I'm not a communist that believes a central thing gives an order, but a design gives an order. And I want to give myself to a design that does incredible things for everybody and expands us throughout the universe. So what do you think, if you were talking to Elon, would you tell him if you agree with that view or agree with that riff, at least talk about it, sponsor it for a moment. How do we keep our individuality and then empower at the same time something that expands all of humanity. So if we fully got behind
1:59:35 the innovation of expanding us as a space-faring people and life extension, and you could choose to be augmented or choose to be a cyborg or choose to be, you know, cloned or whatever, but at least it's all open. It's like a selection. Then it's free will. We could do everything. So how would you sell Elon Musk and then have him sell the world on a pro-human future instead of, they admit, A month ago, human population started going down as Elon predicted 10 years ago. Life expectancy going down, cancer, 10,000% increase. I mean, we are fucked.
2:00:11 And so this virus, this feudalism that they've injected to try to control growth because they're scared of competition is a virus that their bunkers won't protect them from. How do we sell the establishment, sell the public, sell everybody on this giant expansion project or what I call plan B, team humanity? I know that's a lot, but can you unpack that? What would you say to Elon Musk to try to get him to be a leader, which he already is, to try to lead this operation out of this? I mean, he's already doing everything that he can do. There's nothing else that I think he could do additionally to what he's already doing. He's just one guy. I think as opposed to trying to put all the pressure on one guy, even more than it already is. Why don't we just look at ourselves and see what we can do? So it's up to us. It's literally up to us. It's always up to us. You know, it's up to us to make the simulation better.
2:01:06 And whatever you do to achieve that is literally up to you. And whatever idea you generate under which people, under which you can rally people, is literally up to you and everyone else who accepts it. So... I do my part, which is do what I do. I refine information. I keep things entertaining. I just, I don't know what I do. I just basically do stuff and I think it's cool and people seem to like it. And I think, and I put out weird stuff on, on X and I talk about whatever is happening, what I seem to think about what I seem to see as a traveler. That's it. That is literally it. Somebody else can do something much better than this. Somebody else could be an analyst to analyze this, the stock market and puts out daily information and says, here's what's happening over here. And here's why I think this is happening, you know, but
2:01:47 But the real problem is optimism. We're living in a world where we are seeing things through a pessimistic lens, and pessimism is like a self-fulfilling prophecy, so is also optimism. It's a mind virus. We can actually achieve a better future. Yeah, it's a mind virus. Actually, everything is... I think all ideas are actually a mind virus. The difference between whether or not an idea is good or not depends upon the mind virus being either parasitic or symbiotic. Because a mind virus that is good, an idea that is good, can actually help you achieve better things. Much like, say, the bacteria that are in your biome right now. You have a small little micro gut biome. You actually are made of a lot of bacteria that are helping you exist. That's a symbiotic relationship.
2:02:32 those are bacteria. Normally we think bacteria are really bad, terrible things. But in this case they're actually existing with us in a cooperative instance that is you, right? And so we have this within us, it's symbiosis. And if you can create an idea that is symbiotic in nature, then you can achieve great things. But if you create something that's parasitic, let's say for instance pessimism, it will control every aspect of your mood to think negatively and as such you will act negatively. I mean, the willingness for people to beat each other up is a bridge in the mind that is only ever crossed if you're already overloaded with negativity. Normally humans have a very strong sense of being and normally have morals that are very cemented within them. To actually go out there and viscerally hate someone to the point that you beat them up means that over time you've been overloaded with so much negativity that it needs to come out. And I think we're seeing an increased trend of exactly that. And I think instead of just, you know,
2:03:28 Going through social media and listening to these weird influences that say here's 10 things you can do to change your life I'll give you one thing that will change your life Put the phone down for at least one day or just take time out of your day to read something You know read a book and with that book. I mean read historical books start with something That's very entertaining like say the mutiny of the bounty. I think there's a really good thing to say amazing We got sad book read anything anything anything at all anything that is clean of whatever is happening today, anything that really separates you from the current reality, because that's literally what you're on the internet for. Oh, oh, oh, Adrian Dittman, that is so heavy. You're right. Go back to classical literature. There's a three-part series actually being about it, and they go to the island, all that. Exactly. Reboot on something that was pre-this, and then it gives you a lens to what's happening now.
2:04:20 Exactly. And I mean, here's the thing that's up to all of us. It's up to everyone. I don't necessarily recommend that it is something you do, you should do. I'm just saying that this is something that I do and I have done. And I have a lot of problems myself. I make life choices that put me into very Very, very difficult situations I'd rather say. I'm a very ambitious person. I do things like stay up all night to fix some random ass machine. There's no need for me to do this at all. I can take time off but I don't because I'm crazy. That is just simply how it works. So it's not everyone, it's not up to me to dictate how anyone else's life works because I see mine as something that is kind of suboptimal to being human because I don't have time to socialize with people.
2:05:01 Not really. And I think people should be able to socialize. But Adrian, the most powerful thing you said in the last 45 minutes was, we have, we're not, individuals aren't the answer, individuals are the answer, but they're not the overall answer. You're looking for those incredible new brains that are gonna help us get out of this and do something better. And the old corrupt establishment is threatened by new minds, threatened by that power. We have to embrace that. Yeah, and I think if such a thing like the establishment as you're conceptualizing it often exists, I think that they themselves will not actually fall. I think they will evolve. I think over time there comes a precipice where either you have a fight or flight response. You're either the deer staring into headlights where the car then eventually hits it, or you are the deer that backs away from the track. Or in fact,
2:05:54 You go right up to the person who's holding the gun and you just look at it This is like with the deer for instance. They have a fight-or-flight response There's one case I saw where the deer literally walks walks up to the person and looks at him and says hey Hello, just just mr. Doesn't even have the guts to shoot it. This is really weird You know cases such as this you have to look at the fight-or-flight response and I think there is a secret third option to this and that is to observe things a little bit more critically and if I was them I would definitely say Okay, if I have a long-term goal, let's sit at the sidelines a little bit and then step back in. Because I think that everybody has something that needs to exist. And if there is such an establishment, I think I like to try and put myself into that position. I like to put myself into the position of trying to understand why exactly they think we need to reduce people on the planet.
2:06:41 And I mean, there are limited resources on the planet. There is absolutely, there is a case to be made here. It's just that the impact of what they're doing right now is going to be a heavy pendulum swing in one direction where it's really going to be very destructive. But then again, I don't really know much about that. So there is definitely merit to what they're saying. It's just, I think the solution may be not the right solution. No, I agree, but cutting off resources to depopulate will cause wars which will, bunkers aren't going to protect the establishment. They've got to innovate out of this. Yeah, I mean I understand a world in which there are fewer people would actually be less resource intensive but instead of doing that we should probably seek where else to find better resources and this is why Mars is so essential. You need to go there to establish a kind of a base so you can say mine the asteroids so you don't have to destroy the planet in order to get resources. That is essentially the goal itself. You got to go there not only just to act as a kind of a backup for
2:07:37 you know the planet but also as a means to get more resources for both planets you know. No I agree but instead of a war instead of a war killing each other or a war to cut off carbon celebrate carbon invade space. And that would be violent. I don't mean violent killing people. I mean, Helter Skelter, everybody's heroes. Anybody that signs up for the Space Force, whether it's corporate or private, we just go full. That's what people need as a goal. Just full push into the heavens. That's what we're meant to do. We're programmed to do it. That is so exciting. In closing comments, Adrian Dittman, really smart person on X. But thank you so much. Closing comments. Closing comments.
2:08:25 Honestly, just try to have as much fun as possible. I don't know what's going to happen in the future. We're living in a time where in the past we used to be able to predict what will be needed in 10 to 20 years. We don't live in that world anymore. So I think the best thing that we can do right now is to try and look for structure and to be entertaining, to find people worth fighting for, to find also something worth dying for. This is something that I think a lot of people have discarded. The idea of purpose, however small, it's good. And I think as we are gradually moving towards something that's more information-based, because it's becoming increasingly nonsensical to go to certain places physically, we need to think about how we can better connect, how we can better coexist. That's the only thing. I don't care who you are. I don't know. I don't care what you do. And imagine, for instance, a scenario where, you know, you have scientists go to Mars. I hope that there is at least a division between those scientists
2:09:22 in a sense where, let's say there's one that is more right-leaning, one that is more left-leaning, that they sit on opposite sides of the table and play a game of chess. Not because they would wish to defeat one another, but because they would wish to understand one another. Because a difference in perspective is unimaginably critical. And I think we shouldn't vilify each other just because we have a different perspective on life. And that goes for literally everyone. I mean, you can disagree with whatever any particular force is doing, but what I would want, want people to do is to try and understand it. Because what if perhaps you could reason with the force? What if you could reason with it and say, hey, could we do this a little differently? Is there a better way? Perhaps. But then again, we don't know unless we tried.
2:10:06 So don't be destructive. Don't be a wrecking ball. It's like trying to break the matrix. I'm like, how are you going to break the thing that you're in? That is literally self-sabotage. Don't break the matrix. Make it a better thing. That's what everyone else is doing. You're just left behind thinking it's a weird thing that some influencer told you to do. Well, that's right. When I read, Adrian Dittman, when I read about the Visigoth warlord, Alaric sacking Rome in 410, they burned Rome down. And I'm like, why didn't you take Rome over? This idea that we destroy civilization because we're threatened by it. Why don't we just integrate and make it better? Absolutely powerful information. Adrian Dittman, thank you so much for spending an hour with us tonight. Amazing knowledge. I'm just blown away by what you said. Thank you so much for being with us.
