Conversations About Shame

got you? Got you? So? I was looking online and it's a kid he wraps. His name is Kwando Rondo, and he put out resignation letter that he was renouncing his claim to cripping. Said, I'm gonna lay my flag down. Hold up, I'm gonna read it to you. It is fucking hilarious. It's like the funniest ship because he wrote out a full resignation letter. Interesting, I'm gonna read it to you. Hold on, let me find it. It sounds like Nixon was it was it from Watergates? Yeah, so

he said, I'm not jump out gang. Ain't no loyalty in this ship? Oh no, hold up, hold up, I gotta back up. No here go. Yep, he said I'm not jump out. Hold on, he says, I'm not jump out gang either. Ain't no loyalty in this ship. I'm my own man. I laid my flag down. I'm not in h y'all ain't gonna ride for a nigga for real. There's no sense of me being a part of y'all ship. Y'all funk with the opposition. I don't give a funk

who feels hit fuck you. And if you can't feel where I'm coming from on this, you're a bitch ass nigga because it don't take rocket science to see what the funk going on. Everybody already hate me. I really, I ain't tripping on the extra hate. I'm about to focus on my family's and the ones who gonna really drop a tear if I die. Where is he fromd Is he from l A. He's from Savannah, Georgia, but they have a neighborhood CRIPT gang out there too, and Atlanta.

I just thought that ship was crazy for Nigga to actually offer up his resignation letter to his cripping. Yeah, he's gonna have to keep his nose cleaning. He might not. I want to be an independent should he you know, get arrested or anything like that. So what's crazy of me is right, he had a situation last year right where he was getting attacked by a rapper named King Van out of Chicago and his friend pulled out a pistol and you know, popp King Von killed King Von.

Rest in peace to King Von. And he came out and did interviews. He put out a song called in the story Kwando Rondo that is like kind of dissing you know, King Von. You know he passed away. Um, I don't really think I don't really think that that situation had anything to do with him being a crip. I think that was like some rapper ship that happened

and it got out of control. But this is what it is weird to me, the fact that he's offering a resignation letter right and making everybody else seems soft and he's the tough one. Well, he's calling other people bitch ass niggas if you don't understand, and y'all niggas ain't gonna ride for me. It's like they're the soft ones and he's the tough one. Mm hm. I just

thought that was weird as hell. It's like you pretty much doing something that you would know and I would know, and anybody from the life would call like a mark out, Like you're marking out because he was just in l A and a friend of his got killed and it's like now the pressure is there and you don't like how the energy is around, so it's like you're blaming the gang, but none of this has anything to do with the gang, Like what does this have to do

with the gang, And there's a weird consensus going around, like a weird energy where people feel like they understand gangbanging and it's just getting worse and worse and people are getting crazier. Yeah, I mean for him, I mean, unless he wants to just what stay with the ships is like an independent actor who's just like impossibly tough on his just just standing on his own two feet and the funk about it anybody else around him. But if he can hang and do that, then you know

he has by respect. But it sounds more like he likes shooting and not getting shot at from the timeline, Yeah, yeah, I don't quite get it. Um, how do you do some mark ass ship and you're talking tough while you're doing the mark as ship. It's like you're getting robbed and you like, you know, anybody can get robbed, right, but you're getting robbed and you're talking tough while getting robbed. I don't even think that's the Let me take that back,

that's not true. It's like you get beat up and then you get on the internet talking ship after you got beat up. Yeah, what if the fund is going on with the world, Like how could right now California is under like a heat kind of like an extra heat thing where it's too much. It's too much, sun is too hot, Like how could you call the son a bitch ass nigga and it's doing you bad, like it's fucking you over and and you ain't realize who the bitch as nigga? You complaining about the sun? The

sun ain't complaining about you. Yes, what the fun is going on to where everybody now feels the need like, oh, I gotta be tough even though I'm obviously going out like a sun, Like I know what he's thinking in his mind. He's like, I mean, look from the limited information I have just based off of what he's the picture that he's attempting to paint is I'm with this group of guys. We're supposed to have a standard. I'm

the only one that adheres to it. None of you were man enough to hold up to the your end of the bargain that I hold up to, So fuck you, I'm leaving. I'm sure there's probably nine other people in the room who feel differently. If asked, say that one more time. The picture it seems like he is trying to paint is you know, we're supposed to do ABC

in DF We're gonna be crips from Savannah. We're supposed to adhere to a certain standard, and I'm the only person that adheres to it and the rest of you don't. So I'm leaving exact that. If you ask nine other people, they'd say, no, that was weird. It's like that was weird, Like I don't quite get it. What would there? Let

me ask you a question. Could there be a circumstance in which, like, say, like on the law of majorities, right, like if you like your generation your crew from sevens, if if if a broad like if if basically just about everybody either ran when you stayed or snitched when they got arrested and you didn't where you would be like, you know what fun the whole audience? Then no, no, how do so you would kick everybody else out of the gang and you'd stay in it. But but but

kick out the rest. Well that's not kind of what gangs or the concept of that kind of community togetherness is about. It's very personal and individual. What I'm saying, Um, the thing is, it teaches you how to be you. It you you you. You pretty much fight your way through a group of people trying to suppress, you know, trying to get you to conform. So when you come up the way I came up, right, my mind you know how crazy my mind is, or how people think

I am, how my mouth is. You had to fight, You had to show every faster the game you mean to demand respect. So it'll never be all the homies that told, right, But there's times where significant homies won't agree with your actions. And what I denounced being a seven street nigga, oh, because there are first off is personal, right, I'm a sergistrate me because I grew up on a hundred and seventeen street. But you couldn't say, you know what, that's the end of it, I'm the only seven Street

crypt the rest of you guys are out. Well, I would say I'm the really sever If that was the appen to me, I would feel like I'm the most authentic person. I wouldn't be I wouldn't be out for sure. Yeah, you know what I mean. Now, whatever happened to other people is different. For sure, I am individually who I am. Yeah? Is that you know? It's like as an American if you're in this country and you're ashamed of things that

America does, and you'd be like, well, I'm a real American. Yeah, I mean you you can't just be a Southern because sometimes America goes out like a sucker. Do you have without naming names? Obviously you know a record of people getting or anybody that has been it's like, yeah, I mean you're from a hundred and seventeenth Street physically, but we no longer recognize you. You are dismissed. Is there a situation like that that could happen, that has happened. Yeah,

they put people off. Yeah, they're booted people. You are every gang boot people. I think the the standards, the whole gang. Yeah, some people need to be booted for sure, you feel me. Where again, it's one of those things where the gang of the community is very accepting, you know, they're not super judgmental, Like you don't have to have the greatest i Q. You don't have to have the greatest test scores. It's it's not college, it's super invited. It's a poor man sport in general, it's a poor

man thing. So no, you're gonna get society's brightest, but you can also get some crazy ship that can happen with different people. And what I'm saying, so no sailings gl p B in the spot on what you do

use wow about that time. But what I wanted to talk to you about was and the reason I think like Kondo could do that ship is because there's no shame in today's time, Like we're trying to rid the world of shame, right, And shame was an important part of my development as a man because shame is it made me strengthen up things that I was shamed for being weak, or it made me double down on who I was. So either I made adjustments based off shame, or I doubled down on who I was based on shame.

Either way, it gave me power a thousand percent. I mean you're you're from an antiquated time and history. I mean you have to look at it from today's perspective. Can and consider this if there was no if there was shame in today's society, there could be no emotional support dogs on the airplanes, and then where would we be? But no, I was thinking about that, right, like you have like a whole slept march right with Amber ro Shout out to Amber. She's crazy, Shout out to Amber.

But she was actually saying, Um, she has a walk where the idea of it is to promote being a slupt, Like they want people to accept and don't have a judgment of people being a slept, So they have this thing called a slept walk. And it's like, don't you know I've heard people say that on the internet. I've never heard nobody in real life say this because I probably would just reach across the table and slap the ship out of them. But it's like, don't slust shave me.

And it's like, if you're ashamed of being a slut y b one, that's true. And we're just in a weird space where everybody's trying to change what I see. Like even like what the what the the tea part of the l g B t Q plus movement, right the tea part, right transplant, it's not really focused on

trans people. It's focused on everyone else. It's like they're not just fighting for their rights to be who they want to be, you know, Like it doesn't stop this, Like no, we want you as another human being to see this person as something that you don't see. It's not like saying, hey, you know what, uh, don't kill trans It's not at that minimal right, like, which is a very civic h Yeah, like like that makes sense. Like when that was an argument, I actually totally agree.

You should not you know, be wanting to kill somebody based off of their whoever nothing really, you know, I get why it works the way it works. But if you're saying you want to change what I see out of my eyes, or you want me to lie to somebody else to make them feel better, So you want to change either my eyesight or my mind or make me lie, I think that's a weird place to where where shame is kind of like a necessary thing. Yeah,

I think that that. I think that's a yeah, I don't know if my thoughts came out fully, but I know what you mean. I think that's a little bit

of a different take. That's that's why I've always felt like the trans political movement itself is basically opportunistic outside actors that are taking advantage of those people, because if it was just about old people, I think it'd be much more likely to date's be saying, look, because we're trans, or just because just because we're trans, don't not treat us like human beings. Like because we're trans, just afford us the same humanity that you would afford anybody else,

and then you get it seems reasonable to me. Um. That's why I think it's outside influence that you're trying to leverage that to push it too far, because you're pushing it to the point where you have to have a conflict that you can advocate for and supposed to just the quality of life of the people for whom

you're advocating. M m. But like in like the slut walk thing, or even like a lot of the body image stuff, like I I don't know if I'm like, yeah, so it's like, on the one hand, you have body image shaming, public service announcement commercial and then seven seconds later you have a public service announcement commercial talking about exercising and being right in blood pressure and all the rest. So it's like, well, which one is it? And like how how you know? How are you saying the two?

How are you hearing one and out the other? That that whole thing? And it's and You're right, there's no nothing is wrong. It's just I feel like this is probably the best way I can say it. In modern America. Nothing you do is wrong. It's just the way you choose to do it. And depending on what outcome you're looking for, that might be very wrong. Um, people have tried to crip shame me before. I think I've told you this. Yeah, how did that play? As you fourty

years old? How can you be a crip? I'm like, what does my age have to do with being a crip? Is there a graduation period? Like they feel like you've you're taking too long to graduate. What's funny is I'm a low Right, that's the final tier of crip. Being a low you You you have reached a pinnacle of cripping. To you where you embody it and everything you do, so you at low status. That's in my mind how

I see it going. But it's low short for something like what's the origin, like the total genesis of the term local. Oh look, okay, I got you, crazy got you? So it's um. The reason no one could shame me out of it is because I am proud to be it. Like when somebody tries to shame me out of it, right there be like, oh, your crip, and it's like, well, what's wrong with being a crip? And then you start listening to their ideas, they'll be like, oh, well you

you know, they have no idea what it is. And I'm like, a person who's a general in a military or a person who's a part of any organization, why would they not be it? But again, I think because they have this ignorant perspective of it. I think in their mind they like, well, you know, like you can't have I think they think crip don't raise their children, or crips don't have careers or jobs, or crips don't

live productive lives. It's just this confusing thing to where so I don't succumb to their thoughts of what being a crip is. So that's why I would never put up a protest like, oh, you guys are cript shaming me because I am proud to be a crypt. So if somebody can slutt shame you, you have to have shame. If it doesn't bother you, why doesn't matter. People could say a thousand things on the Internet to me about being a cript and I just don't care because I

know of being a crip is. But if you being a slut and you need to have walks, imagine I had the crip walk and it was like, Oh, I'm tired of society judging cripts. All cripts don't kill people. Matter of fact, of crips don't kill people. You know, that's myent of crips don't kill people. The problem is, I feel like you'd be saying that wearing a one percent or T shirt because I'm one. But I'm saying that everybody off of some people's cripping, Like I think

a lot of that. I think a lot of people in the like the distant onlook lookers, so to speak. There's a a blurry line between and and it kind of it makes sense in the conventional world, most stuff has a more rigid, titler definition, and I think that there's maybe some convoluting as to whether or not cripping is a profession or a hobby. Maybe more than a hobby, less than a less than a profession, And it probably depends on when in life you're talking about, in the

arc of an individual's life. So like, I think people from far away are like, well, how are you still a crypt Like, like, you're cripping all day long and it's only the conflicts and you do us out there just just patrolling all damn day, every damn day. But I mean, do you think a five star general in a service is doing that or a lieutenant in the service is always like, you know what, all twenty four hours a day, I'm looking to knock off a tally man. Remember,

that's just not how it works. But but the point I'm saying is that's you could never shame me because you're ignorant. If if I would never tell somebody don't crip shame me unless I'm being funny or stupid, Like you couldn't shame me because I'm not ashamed of being uh seven street cript. Yeah, it's different. So if somebody could shame you for being a slut and you're a shamedful They can only shame you if you're ashamed of it.

If you need to have walks to promote the sluttiness of people that it should be accepted, then you know you're wasting your time. I never liked the idea of black parades, like, I don't need to promote people to accept me being black. I'm I'm more Black Power than Black Lives Matter. I'm not. Oh, you know what, you guys should accept it. And no, I'm driving a fist

through your ship. I mean, if you don't funk with it. Um, But we're just in this weird time and I wanted to ask you about it, like, do you think okay? So I noticed people that come through hip hop, hip hop artists, right, guys that come from the streets, you know, telling their stories about existing and surviving these conditions, whether they're participant or observer in such crimes where I think

they generally think the public is stupid. And Head told me that, he said, man, glasses, the public is stupid. I'm like, now, the public is intellectually lazy. They don't have enough time to think, I said, but they're not stupid. But sometimes what should be happening and they let an artists talk their way out of it. I'll be like, maybe people ain't that bright. Well, yeah, I think that's

part of it. I think a lot of the time people, yeah, people don't critically think, well, that's a dying that, along with shame, is a dying art. So like, usually people believe the take on a story. That's the first thing that they hear, you know, so it's difficult to pry their brain off the first spin of the news that

they hear. And then when they hear something different than it's coming directly from that person, they go, oh, well, I mean I watched Joe Blow say a B C D, so it must be a B C D. Like Joe Blow is compelled to tell the truth to you for some whatever reason. So I think people just take what they hear or what they see with it, not with

a grain of salt, but without any active consideration. So you get, you know, some sort of whatever blogger or whatever the fuck, Well, something happens and then they write what what they think or what they think as most interesting as as their take on what happened, explaining why, and a reader goes, okay, do you think shame is a healthy thing in human development thousand percent. I was

actually just listening to a guy talk about that. He's, um uh, there's a there's an outfit at Stanford called the Hoover Institute is a think tank, and one of the guys the think tank was talking about the cave of society and how there's no shame anymore and how back in previous generations shame kept people in line because you know, you didn't want to embarrass yourself, you didn't want to embarrass your family, your family name, your community, whatever,

because the shame attached to that was to a large degree a deciding factor, you know, for for you making possibly a good or a bad choice. And you take shame off the table, there's less disincentive for people to make better choices. Or if you say, well, there's no good choices or bad choices, there's just there's just my choices. Well okay, and in that case, you know, all all thought be damned then. But I think that I think

shame absolutely is necessary. I mean, no matter what you want to pursue and how you want to be perceived, whether it's you want to be an intellectual, a professional gangster, a slut, whatever, it is I don't understand why, Like, if me and some slut are going to fucking in the back room, why the hell does that lady care what the guy downstairs thinks to her? You know, but people want to do what they want to do. It is, we know what this comes down to. You know what

shame is. Shame is a form of accountability. And we know that accountability is a dying asset in this country. And we know to a large degree why it's a dying asset in this country. Why is that, Well, because there's a certain group of people that reject accountability, and we know who they are, and we also know that those people are having a greater monopoly in the role of raising subsequent generations percentage wise versus other previous generations.

So when so therefore, accountability is being passed on at a lower percentage rate, which dictates the nature of the way culture and society move. So now there's no more accountability because there's no shame because they're my eyelashes and god damn it, you better like them. Women go cute. This is what Rachel from a Van's podcast was talking about, because once we start kneeling points off, they'd be like fucking ship. They'd be so devastated. All right, I mean,

I'm not sorry. I'm about the shame of this. That's that people try to mean shame me. They're like, oh, you're not nice, and I always say the same ship. Nice is not part of my mission statement. Yeah, I'll tell people I'm not nice. I'm kind, That's true. I'm not a nice person at all. I'm kind. Like I do what internally feels like the righteous thing to do for me. If you think it's the right thing to do, that's fine, you know what I mean. But it doesn't matter.

If I'm gonna do something for you, I'm doing it because that's what you want, and I'm gonna do it for you that way. But if I'm doing something for you, whatever I want to do is what I'm gonna do. That makes sense. Um, So you feel like shame is a department in the building of accountability. So obviously that's why it's round. And it's funny because that particular group of human beings is leading the march against shaming, the

march embody shaming. If somebody thinks you look like a bag of mashed potatoes, so what, you know, what's funny just say you like mashed potatoes more than you like my opinion, or somebody gonna like mashed potatoes. You know what's funny. I give god, I'll give guys a credit. Somebody could somebody that gods you're fat. And I'm like, well, I got bitches, and I'm genuinely like you telling me

I'm fat doesn't matter anymore to me. I got bitches. Yeah, Like I don't know why Lizzo allows people to body shame her and feels like, okay, this is is the the the reaction is I'm going to accuse you of

shaming me, versus saying I'm Lizzo bitch. I make smash hit records like Airy Spears is own her head right and it's like, you know, all people to feel on the body shaming hers, And I'm like, because it's Lizzo, this is this make millions of dollars rights incredible hit records as Uber tallis at artist, she just was on MTV, she has commercials. It's like Airy Spears like, for me, why are you ashamed of that? Why? Why is that bothering you? Like He's just like, literally, you are a success.

If and if it bothers you. If somebody can body shame you, that means you're ashamed of your body. M hm, I'm saying. And if you are saying, hey, I'm ashamed of my body, you know I mean, I don't know if the answer is don't shame you or tells him who do you pick on me because it bothers me? It's like, bro, talk your ship back. That's the thing the hood does to Like. Sometimes the idea of saying the therapist makes sense to me, But then sometimes I don't want to lose what the hood made me develop.

The Hood gave me a coping mechanism in a way to stand up for myself and fight back, you know what I mean. Like if you are shaming me, I can shame you. And look, I don't always want to be I don't always want to be able to need to remove myself like I hate when I hear bother people are going I need to remove myself because everybody's negative. I got some pretty harsh partners. Them dudes are harsh.

My racing partners are some of them. Probably the eviness human beings breeding there what I'm saying, But at the end of the day, it develops your skin and makes your skin tougher you feel, and it makes your drive better. And and if and if you don't feel dissatisfied and disappointed with yourself sometimes, how are you ever going to improve yourself? It's a great point. If if the only issue in your life is I'm really disappointed to the way other people view my failures, well, the fund are

you gonna accomplish out of that? That's true? I mean, look at look at the two throughout history. To me, the two best like rigid examples of shame. We're pretty much like the Samurais and like the Knights of the round Table to you know, ship like that. We know who wasn't seated at that table. I mean, Samurais like, oh the nights, I'll rather die here than than than live in shame back at the Kingdom or whatever. The Samurais would be like, dude, you punked out, Take this

dagger and stab yourself in the chest with it. At least at least pretend to have some respect on your way out the door. And they would do that. They would rather stab themselves in the stomach than let somebody else kill them in shame. Yeah, yeah, yeah, not that we should all be doing that. But you know, you get the point. But I'm sure some therapist is going to reach out to me and my d M s because now you know, no Selings is getting more and

more popular, so people are reaching out to me. They're giving me their opinions on the d M. Now there social media out in front of people giving me their opinions, even to the point where other people are confronting me on the streets of ideas. And I'm like, yeah, I don't really get what is wrong with Shane, Like I

need some clarification from the greater mental health community. Okay, I watch that whole operation, and it looks a lot more to me like it's an industry dedicated to the proposition to making you feel better more so than to making you do better or be better. Mm hmm. And as long as that's murky, my respect for that whole song and dance is gonna be pretty low. But that's great politics in general. To add to that, great politics is not about actually making things better. It's about making

people feel better. Mm hmm. That's that's another outfit. I don't have a lot of respect for either man. I will always say women will be great politicians, you know what I mean. I think a lot less. I would say a lot less. It's going to get done, but I think they will cater to the population's emotions a lot more, of course, which is utterly useless. I'll say this much. I don't see a lot of shame on Nancy Pelosi's face. I'll tell you that much. That lady

given just anything whatever, anything about her. There's no shame that lady. She's in her eighties, she's got about thirty five face lifts. She she's basically Biden level cognitively. I mean, like she can't go through a paragraph under durest if

it's not memorized. But no shame. I mean I'm seeing where she's I guess, expecting to lose the speakership in the mid term, and there's legitimate speculation that they that she's going to step down from her seat, and they're holding open the whatever, the Diplomat chair, whatever the hell it is for Italy, and she's gonna go live in like Florence, Italy at the Diplomat mansion, whatever the funk we have over there. She's just no shame. It's none.

Thank your bad business somewhere else. Girls have made a half a billion dollars just flagrantly investing into ship, like the morning before she passes laws, I mean like and then they asked her about she goes You're a loot to make money in this country, aren't you. Yeah, that's actually a good point. Like, but I noticed that when Biden was talking as the president, um, he was like threatening arrested before all this stuff happened, and what he was gonna do, And then when it happened and he

didn't do nothing. He didn't have no share none. That Ronald Reagan, that shame. I get that racist cracker. I get that racist cracker his credit he had, he asked him shame and he was gonna react off of it and everything. Yeah, there were some sort of standards there with Yeah, the current group, it's it's interesting. It's it's always we're gonna do, We're gonna do, and we're gonna just gonna change the story. Yeah, it was a change

the story. Damn. I mean even Bernie Sanders got asked one time about owning like four houses and now he mayd have like several million dollars on some book or something like that. Bernie fucking Sanders, the socialist, the anti capitalist. What's the United States of America. I mean, it's a capitalist country. I can make money if I want to. It's like the funck Bernie, what the hell is this? The whole marketing strategy? Fucking killer Mike is gonna kill me?

Like ge hy y'all on the old man. But that's funny because that is some Bernie saying the ship that have happened it is it's I don't know, I guess everybody who runs this country is so fucking old. The whole was That whole was on jay Z was on Twitter light a week ago. He was like, you know, they're trying to shame me, and they're calling me a hyper capitalist and they make up these words like nigger,

and I'm like, is this nigger whole? Comparing being called a hyper capitalist to somebody racially profile him as a black person, you gotta go look at this thing with hold um he was talking about it. Holder It's funny because I think he's starting to feel the pressure of people.

And somebody made a good post, so I forgot who the person was on Twitter, but like half kind of finds himself in being like this super revolutionary and this hyper capitalist right where it's about profit and no holds bars and as a real like I am a real jay Z fanatic, right, Um, I'm a fanatic. And Jay I got his book. I got shipped that niggas don't got on Jay. But I agree that I really don't want him to be a revolutionary because that is the

part that's letting me down. Like when I heard of jay Z, jay Z was his drug dealing from Marcy from Brooklyn. I was selling drugs and watch at the time, it made sense to me, so I could him being a hyper capitalist. You know, he's a drug dealer like you like as a drug that I told you that's the one thing that I am ashamed of that I've done in my past because you start putting money over people. Once you start putting money over people, for me, like it is there for it now. Drugs is bad because

it poisons. You know what it is. So I get it, and I was cool with jay Z being that person. But the thing that does throw me off is the revolutionary part. It's like if the most racist white man sold things to black people and he showed his face at the KKK meeting and he's like, you fuck them niggers, but he got health care for niggers, like fighting back Biden. Yes, yeah, Now he is to caucus with all those former clansmen in the Senate back in the seventies, first buddies, and

he create an he called them called people's super predators. Yeah, and it's weird because now it's for giving their community college that. Yeah, somebody like him has no shame, yes, zero shame. Like like the thing, it's weird because time is changing right in front of us, Like time is happening right, it is, we're moving forward in time rather and the mind is changing right in front of us, the American mind, where they want the American mind to be,

is changing right in front of us. And it's like they do want a world or a country with no shame. They want a country with no shame where it's like, oh, you're able to do anything, and it's like you're able to make some money and keep it. Yeah. The best the best part of being who you are is you know, people not agreeing with you. But that's the that's the that's what you know, that's what make being great great. People don't have to like Kobe when he was playing basketball.

It made him a better basketball player when people started to dislike him. True greatness lies on the other side of public opinion. Public opinion is never greatness. Yeah, that's true. I mean it's it's the definition of like the median point. Public opinion is McDonald's as good. Yeah, it's it's the definition of average. And you know, so that's how it's gonna go. Like do you do you think going back on the jay Z thing, like I look around at

at the way that the country is moving. Everybody with north and half a billion dollars is somehow, in some way having some ship to say about people that make money, you know, all across the board, and it's it's getting to the point where, like what I was saying a few episodes back with that Black Rock guy, there's a weird I don't want to say the C word, but there's something really going on where people had a certain echelon of wealth and it's like they're getting a phone

call from somebody with a muffled voice going, hey, look, if you want to make any more money in this country, you better start talking about ABC and D in a hurry, or we're gonna make sure you lose every dollar. I know that's happening. I know, I know what a certainty that's happening. Now I've listened, the game has changed, right, Um,

delivery has been limited, a distribution has been limited. So therefore the only way you could truly get wealthy and maintain wealth is somebody with that's already on the other side paying you, like the general public. The toughest thing in two thousand twenty two is have the general public make who they want wealthy to be wealthy. It's not impossible,

it's just improbable, right, it's not happening. So if you really think about it, um, you have like we was talking about it, where the Netflix they were at, they were mad at Dave Chappelle and d Jappelle had another show and they stopped it right because they were like on it costing some money, it didn't do some certain things, blah blah blah, and day. Chappelle's ship was a success. It was a number one string comedy special on Netflix's

last one. But yet they still put an X at that time in his other programming, Right, whatever he's gonna do versus the Lady from Disney, Where the world the American public showed, hey, we're not agreeing with the message that you're pushing, Like whenever you do need you need to repackage it up and redeliver because it's not correct now. And she didn't lose her job. She was able. You know, we talked about this, she was telling me about it.

She was able. She was able to double and triple down on whatever message because it fits where the powers that be want the American mind to be at going forward, Like it comes across with a dissemination of basically two primary messages. One don't be ambitious, which don't don't be you know, financially ambitious, and two, I don't think that

there's anything that's the truth. The truth is what anybody wants it to be at any time, which makes it impossible to gauge anything at any time and impossible to threaten any institution at any time. M I'm like the the the economy in the developed world has gone from a best man wins competition to an arms race of barriers of entry. Mm hmm. I mean even California this week past that law really really coming down hard on

crypto and DeFi really hard. Everybody else will follows suit like you know, Florida won't, but Europe well federally, the U s well soon to some degree.
