275-Consciousness: Missing Link in Technology, Business & Politics with Charley Johnson

So I got to pay attention to the previous interview and just see what I could expand on or just have a completely different topic , which is the more safer route . I mean I high curtsying this , plugins and any of that good stuff . I have a guest here and the nickname I'm going to go with the interesting nickname , is chief consciousness officer .

I know to some of you skeptics , smart Alex cynics out there is say what the heck is this scam , this name and all of that . You try to bring consciousness into what politics business ? You're crazy . The companies only care about money . I mean , I certainly think that way . But let's see , maybe something that we're missing here . Maybe this is an evolution .

Let's hear it out . You know , I don't mind interesting , very different ideas here , because this country needs to change . There's no debate about that . It needs to change and it might be a change that we may not expect or like . There's probably something that we need , you know .

So , before I yammer and go on a long tangent and or give my rant for us , especially if I want to be in a cynical , negative , negative mode but I'm going to put a little on that let's see if we can change this to a more positive , constructive and enlightening and involving conversation .

Okay , let's introduce Charlie Johnson , aka this is his nickname here , the Chief Consciousness Officer . Welcome , and let's start the introduction . What do you want the listeners and viewers to know about you ?

Chief Consciousness Officer is a position that I'm pioneering right now to get every company to hire , just like 30 years ago , when technology took over business and everyone knew websites were going to be a big deal , online was going to be a big deal and not a single person in the company understood how to create a website or put up a URL or code , and then

they hired those weirdos over in the corner as chief technology officers , and now it's a staple . This is the same thing with chief consciousness officer . Consciousness is at the center of humanity , always has been . What's happening now is we're becoming aware of it .

This thing , this middleman , mind , this mind the only tool we've ever known , the only thing we've ever talked about , ever learned with , is the middleman . It's a disaster . The same mind that creates a problem can't solve it .

We need to go to the source of consciousness , and companies are going to want someone on staff who understands consciousness , understands how to utilize it , and get the entire organization , not just the executives , involved with their own consciousness .

When it comes to politics , politics are always talking about being bipartisan , about removing the division and conflict which they absolutely create , just like everyone else on this planet . Having someone like me on staff is going to bring a different energy , a different type of question , a different type of perception perspective to both sides of politics .

So this is a position I think everyone needs in their cabinet and on staff . When it comes to self-development and spirituality , religion , whatever you want to call it , that's where most people in your listening group will probably think the chief consciousness officer falls into . Nothing could be further from the truth . This is not spiritual . It can be .

We have the construct and the misunderstanding that when we talk about consciousness , it has to do with spirituality . It has to do with the people who left business behind and went on the spiritual path . No , everything is consciousness . Everything physical and non-physical . The religious people that think spirituality is horseshit . It's consciousness .

Consciousness is business . Consciousness is spirituality . It's religion , it's the mountains , it's the air , it's your mind , it's your thoughts . It's everything physical

. It's the reason you came from , a single cell inside a woman's body . It's the planet , it's the galaxy , it's the universe . Everything is consciousness . More and more individuals are starting to talk about that . Hoffman and Bernardo Kassop and all those guys are coming from a very scientific understanding , scientific method . They'll never get to the root of it .

Spirituality will never get to the root of it . No one on this planet will ever get to the root of consciousness , just like no one will ever get to the root of God . Right , we don't have the capacity , with this tiny little perception of a mind , to understand any of that stuff .

What we can do is understand it's there and we can utilize it better , because what's happened is we've all had a blank check and we've cast it for a hundred dollars . I don't know about you , but if I had a blank check , it would have a lot more zeros than two incredible amount of zeros .

Right , that's what bringing awareness to consciousness , this position and to everyone within a company , everyone within politics , everyone within the world . Once they understand what consciousness is , they've got a blank check to do with what they please .

I'm sure a lot of listeners and viewers do think that way . So I know for some of you it's going to be a bit of a challenge . But go on , you're smart , you can evolve , you can get there . And I'll be more patient and gracious with you .

You know , unlike previous episodes , I will just patch you if you'll catch up with me , but I think that's becoming foolishness . I think that's becoming foolishness . In my older episodes I was definitely more aggressive on the push . But look , we are learning every day , we evolve in every day . I mean I would hope so .

We evolve in every day , or we could stay stuck and be stagnant . And come on , we don't want to stay stuck and stagnant . I mean , nostalgia is fun , it's an emotional kick , but we got to move to the future . You know , eventually , you know and I'm speaking more to the millennials and Gen Z I know that the nostalgia craze , but it's nice .

You want to live the past and glory days . So we got to , we got to , we got to go forward . Time only moves forward . Maybe even on the time machine , yeah , you go back in time . They continue to move forward from there . So I just , I just say , just be open-minded to the evolution and definitely I will have a listening ear .

At least you can be skeptical . I don't mind skeptics , but don't , don't just shut it down , you know . Don't , don't give just an instant rejection , not right . That's all I'm asking you . You know , that's up to you , of course , but I will just say you say , you know , just be open-minded here . Okay , just at least have a listening ear .

You can be skeptical , that's fine . I'm a skeptic too by nature . That's okay . I welcome skeptics . Skeptics , I think , are pretty helpful . They're not the naysayers . I mean , they can be , don't get me wrong , but they're not there right away . They just question things .

You want to make sure they make the right decision , as opposed to , you know , early adopters . I like you sometimes , but sometimes you drive yourself to the cliff , especially if the new idea is bad . I like the skeptic camp . Yeah , yeah , we're . We're just more cautious .

I like to move forward , but we're , we're , we're critical thinkers , but anyways , before I I derail this . Oh so you're at . The ura gave a good definition was a chief consciousness officer .

That you're , uh , you're the ultimate , you see things , who are neutrally and try to unite people , regardless of political orientations , even , um , align themselves , of course , with the business goal . Right , and and , and it's true , I think our conscience has always been there , but have we always paid attention ?

I'm not right , no , but it's always been there , even before dawn of humanity . You know , dawn of humanity , consciousness was always there , right , I mean , it's always in us , but do we always pay attention ?

No , and so I think this is like the best evolution if we could , you know , be connected into this right , even more than all this technological advancement , which is great , but I think , being tapped to consciousness , I don't think I'll true human evolution . I'm sure you could agree with that .

You know , it's great , we've got technology changing all that , but go ahead , well , technology came from consciousness .

technology or consciousness , it's both . Artificial intelligence is a construct we've given that intelligence . Where'd that come from ? It came from us . It's not artificial . Nothing's artificial . We have labeled it that way . We have put it in sci-fi movies that way .

We have built a narrative around it that way , which scares the shit out of people and just like everything on this planet , because of humans and the mind we've been given , it's going to have people for it , it's going to have people against it .

Imagine the power an organization , company , political party , anyone has by having someone on staff who's neutral , instead of alienating 50% of the world , alienating 50% of the technology , alienating 50% of the solutions , alienating 50% of seeing the perception of everything else on the planet . 80 and 50 percent of seeing the perception of everything else on the planet .

Having someone who understands both sides , who sees 100 of what's happening , who is not shut down when a republican has the greatest answer on the planet for the cure for cancer , but because that person that said it's democrat , they don't trust it . Or having a catholic not really trust an atheist or vice versa . The neutrality is there we have .

We are so polarized and so divided . That's all we pay attention to . Are you for us or are you against us ? Well , there's a select group , a very small select group of individuals who are going to be chief consciousness officers , such as myself , in the future , who are neutral .

No one pays attention to them , right , because when you have a discussion , the natural tendency almost 100% of the time is let me find out what this person believes , to see if they're my friend or they're my foe .

If you start talking to someone like me and they're not friend or foe , I've had quite a few people who it's like a computer , like something freezes their brain . They'll just look at me and they'll just turn and walk away . They cannot compute that . I'm not for them and I'm not against them .

It just doesn't make sense to them because that's all humanity's done since the beginning of time . We truly believe that at some point in the future and we're all fighting for it that our side's going to win , the other side's going to lose and we're just going to go off into the sunset . Good luck with that .

We talk about leaving this planet better for our kids . We talk about removing the division and conflict . We talk about removing the hate . We love our kids . We treat people nicely . We open the doors for the old lady down the street and we mow her lawn . Everyone does that .

Everyone tries to tell me the good stories they do on this planet because of the chief consciousness officer , right , they think it's some type of kindness thing and I love those stories and I would agree that everyone who says that they're kind , they love their kids and they do good things for good people , I agree with them . They're not lying to me .

But when it comes to being pushed in a corner politically or religiously or for their beliefs , that shit goes out the window . That's the first thing that leaves To each their own is no longer a thing . Let's agree . To disagree is no longer a possibility , right ? So again , what am I missing ? We've been doing this forever .

We've never been more divided , conflicted On top of that we now have thousands of books on how to be happy . We've never been more unhappy . We've never spent more money on our health and never been so unhealthy .

We've never had more business consultants and more coaches and more conscious capitalism and conscious leaders , leadership programs doing what they should be doing . They're doing great work . We've never been more unconscious . So what am I missing ? Why is no one talking about this ? Why is no one talking about levels of consciousness ?

Why is no one getting to the source of consciousness ? Not conscious . You and I are conscious . That's our senses . That's a verb . Conscious . If I get hit in the head , I'm unconscious . That's not consciousness . Consciousness is the now . Consciousness is physical and non-physical .

It's your mind , it's your thoughts , it's your physical body , it's the planet , it's the galaxy , it's the universe . That's consciousness , that's matter , that's what everything's built out of , although it doesn't make sense , right ? Something coming from nothing doesn't make sense .

Yeah , to the human mind , but again , you're a single cell inside a woman's body and you're watching this podcast . I have a conscious , I'm conscious , I have a consciousness , I have eyes , I have organs , I have a body , I have hair , I have the ability to talk and listen and see .

All that came from a single cell inside a woman's body , because 8 billion people came that same way . We take it for granted . That's the most magical thing in the universe . But everything else quantum entanglement , physics , consciousness , something coming from nothing that's magic , that's not possible . Prove it to me . Okay , good luck with that .

But we just simply need more neutrality . We need to better understand both sides of the story . And the ultimate question to anyone who chooses a side which most people do , which I don't have a problem with I'm just bringing awareness to them . The question is what is better , heads or tails of the coin ?

They would say well , that's the same thing , it's the same coin , it's the same thing , exactly . Heads Catholic , tails atheist , heads Republican tails Democrat . It's the same thing . You guys are killing each other over it . You're hating each other for it .

You are creating division and conflict on this planet and leaving this planet worse off because of it Not because of the other side , but because of your side as well . Someone has to bring awareness to that , someone has to bring clarity to that , just so we can be more aware , so we can go from here and open it up a little bit .

When we open it up a little bit . Maybe we'll have a little bit more compassion and empathy . Maybe we'll understand that that other side , that's the devil , and we really believe the world and they're ruining it and we're the ones fixing it .

Maybe they think the same thing , maybe , maybe , maybe it's , maybe it's both sides that are creating the chaos that we don't want to do no-transcript me .

But you know , even then I've taken sides or why I think it's right , but I gave you're saying we have to be neutral , unite , bring the best of both sides right for for us to be a better . So it's just , you know , oh , republicans are good , dems are bad , vice versa , or I'm a capitalist , you're a socialist , so you're different , you're evil .

You know , while both tribes have really contributed

to destruction , you know , they label the other ones the devil , but the other ones not . The other side's not doing any better either . But if you unite them , then just based on common ideas that are , of course , very agreeable , then I think that's something that you know . What I like this movement .

I really hope it becomes the next staple and the staple for the rest of humanity to come . It's nice , we have technology . It's nice , we have technologies , nice , we have all of that . But I think this is the evolution I think you met humans need to focus on from . It'll be nice to focus on in a long time ago .

Oh , certain people did make this a staple , you know , as opposed to you know , chief technology officer , cause even several decades ago , that wasn't really a thing . Chief technology officer , yep .

That was a couple of things A little earlier than that , the 1990s and early 2000s , only very progressive innovative companies were thinking of that Most of us were like , and early 2000s , only very progressive innovative companies were thinking of that We'll get to it and we'll get to it whenever , until they were forced to build a website just to keep up with the

involving customer landscape and climate . I hope this Chief Consciousness Officer made consciousness a norm , a thing for business , because I think we have been losing that . Everything's about fuck what's the best . Make consciousness a norm , a thing for business , because I think we have been losing that .

Everything's about quick buck , what's the best you know , make the most buck with the lowest amount of effort and cut corners and not care about quality as much . So I think consciousness , you know , will have you know , I think you know .

Correct me if I'm wrong , if it's getting justice issues or not , but I think any conscious of unity in that I agree for sure the vision will destroy business .

Right , we as humans , think we need to interact with everything . What we've shown is when we're left to our own devices . Look at the world we create , right , thank God , consciousness is a natural force . It's the natural wind behind every 8 billion people's sales . So this is not a possibility . This is a guarantee .

So the point of pioneering this position is letting companies , businesses , politics know that consciousness is going to be the central of humanity moving forward , because the awareness of consciousness is going to be what people pay attention to , because we're going to go past this . This is what caused all the issues . This is divided . It always has been consciousness .

Now we're going to be aware of it . It's always , always has been consciousness . Now we're going to be aware of it . You're going to want someone on staff who understands that . You're going to want someone on staff who understands the division and conflict created because of the mind Go ahead .

I think we were talking about how consciousness is going to be the center of humanity . So when you say you hope this movement takes off or you hope this happens , there's no hope . This is going to happen . Consciousness is going to be the center of humanity . Right , it has always been the center of humanity . It's been the center of everything in our existence .

It's fundamental to our reality and to our experience . What's happening now is we're becoming more aware of it , this thing , the middleman , the thing that caused all the problems , the mind , the divided mind that only knows Catholic or atheist , Republican or Democrat , picking the side , causing division and conflict .

More people are going to start to understand the source consciousness . Consciousness birthed Catholics and atheists . Consciousness birthed Republicans and Democrats . Consciousness is neutral . We are born neutral . We are conditioned with continuous bias and teaching from our parents , from our teachers , from our society , from our colleges , from our education .

Right , we're doing the best we can . I'm not saying anything's wrong . The system of capitalism is not wrong . The religion's not wrong . Politics aren't wrong . People are the issue . Because people don't understand that their mind's divided , so they're very hell bent on believing they know what's right . You got a 50 chance . 50% chance tops .

But we always think , because our heart tells us , our gut tells us , our instincts tell us . Well , your heart , your gut , your instinct , your mind was conditioned by your parents , by if you grew up in Utah or Texas , or if you grew up in the Middle East , or if you grew up in Japan .

No one ever brings that into account right .

And we really believe that our side , our church , our politics , our beliefs are correct , and whoever doesn't believe it is the ones ruining the world . They think the same thing . We've been doing this since the beginning of time . We've got to change it up .

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity , and I've heard that thousands of times from both sides of the argument . So everyone's kind of aware that doing the same thing over and over again is insane , but we keep doing the same shit because we don't know , so we got to change that up .

Luckily , consciousness is a natural force that will force that upon us .

You know , and I like this because I really I feel like we was falling further apart Me personally , I'm going to speak out of Doley . We was falling further apart Me personally , I'm going to speak out of Doley . I feel like it was further further falling apart from . You know what it means to be a good human and all that we just get so obsessed with .

You know , making the quick buck , just trying the latest toys and just cut corners , dominate , destroy the other side just to get a quick , quick buck . Or you know , dominance , just to get a quick buck , or dominance or whatever you want , or bracket rights , whatever you want

to call it , that causes that great competition scarcity kind of mindset that causes division . I'm going to go further . Even within the Democrat Party , they fight among each other .

Even within the Republican Party , they fight among each other and even among this UC sports team , even team members fight among each other and even among you know , this usually was sports team . Even team members fight among each other . I mean Divide , I mean Divide . I could just go further , but you get the point . You get the point , lister .

Yes , go there , but it is deeper than that . I like that this is becoming actually . Not forget , like I love that this is becoming , you know , a staple . I'm sure it is , and those companies who refuse to adapt , well , they're going to collapse . It was a good example to break Blockbuster . Blockbuster was the biggest names when it comes to directing movies .

They only got one store left in Oregon . They're that small , that insignificant , because they refused to adapt Like Netflix . Netflix was laughed at in the 90s . Yeah , I saw Netflix when it was just red DVDs and stuff . They weren't that big . But so they adapt streaming . That's a game changer .

I just start buying solar companies and maybe they are , maybe I don't know , maybe they don't talk about it . And if I was Blockbuster and someone was coming up and it kind of scared me , kind of like Kodak and that digital camera , like being aware of it , understanding both sides . I would purchase them so I could expand with them .

But that is the perfect example from a business side , from a non-business side , from a political side , from a religious side . We believe that we have the truth , we believe we know , we believe we're the only side . We believe that no one can take that from us . We believe that nothing's ever going to change .

Continuously changes Consciousness constantly forces it . It's kind of like saying I'm going to stay 11 years old , You're not , you're not . And for the women who say they're 29 , 10 years in a row , no , we're like we , we are constantly changing .

So I know it's difficult as humans , it's difficult for me , it's difficult to see things , it's difficult to see the bad choices I've made , the parts of the road that I should have taken and shifted and changed , and I know that made me and I know that's what makes everyone on this planet . But what's going to happen ?

Just naturally , because we don't like change , consciousness is forcing change upon everyone on the planet and it's going to be the center focus of business , of politics , of religion , of day-to-day life . You're just going to want someone on staff who understands that truly .

But let's be fair , hindsight is 20-20 . At that time they thought things wasn't going to change . So let's just be fair to that . The streaming thing was a fad . It's going to die down . They could have been right , but unfortunately not in this case . But they could have been right , but , you know , unfortunately not in this case , but they could have been .

Let's just let's go to ones that didn't adapt . They just thought this is going to be the the way of life for 20 , 30 years . But streaming caused a disruption . Phones cause a lot of disruption . That's how we you know how we take pictures and surf the web and do a whole bunch of stuff with that . That caused a major disruption .

And and I like that , you know , consciousness forces to change . Maybe they tap to the consciousness . Maybe blockbuster will still be a big name , maybe codec would still be a big name . Who knows they would . They will be taking even different ventures , because some people take different ventures after a while . Who knows ? Right ?

No speculating all that , but , but I think this is why we got to tap to the . Not tap , but be more aware and connected with consciousness . Consciousness is always there . Just think about connecting our awareness to it . Right , yeah ?

Everything we've ever known , learned , thought about , read in a book , listened to a lecture , looked for some teacher , for some guide or for some book , for some movie or some podcast , that's just someone's opinion and that knowledge came from the same place . You get your knowledge . You have access to all knowledge . Now , it's not an all-seeing , all-knowing .

We're a very limited human being with a physical body , but our awareness points to things we enjoy , things we like things we're passionate about , things we want to learn , or maybe things we're forced to learn because we have a job we need to understand . You have access to anything you want . You can read a book . That's fine . That's how we've gone about it .

But you start tapping into the vast resource where that book came from . You're tapping into the same resource where that book came from . You will have access to that knowledge . You can tap into it , Everyone can .

This is gold . We're going beyond all of that . We got rats happen to consciousness . I'm sure there's some truths where you're saying regarding those construct or truck ideas , but this is more about you know , evolving humanity evolve , you know , elevating humanity in a collective sense as well .

He's doing in the business , I mean he's doing all you know , all things in this podcast covers attack , the politics and even and the individual levels , even beneficial . Yeah , consciousness is touching all three .

So anyone watching this and thinking this is one specific of the three buckets , it's all three buckets and then some , and there's nothing .

If you believe that what's coming out of my mouth creates division and conflict , or you think it's not part of one of those three buckets , or you think something's wrong with it , or it goes against your beliefs or views , that's how you see it . This is neutrality .

This is just understanding where everything you're , every thought , every side you've chosen , every belief you have came from consciousness . If you think it's a problem , if you think someone's against you , that's on you . If you think someone's for you , that's on you . That's perfectly fine .

I don't know how you decorate your home , you know things I don't really talk about and you could just fill in a blank . Consciousness is involved . Yes , it is kind of . You know , I don't talk about raising kids and all that , because I'm definitely not an expert . Who the heck am I ? I'm just a guy yelling at the mic .

At that point that wasn't real my credibility . I told myself I have at least more knowledge and experience . And you know you don't talk to , you're not going to hear me talk about fashion and dating advice and all that . So no , I , I am . I am not qualified . I'll be a charlatan and please feel free to call me out if I head in that direction .

Please feel free to call me out , please . I want to be called out . Set me straight . I , you know I sound welcoming now , but I want you to do it when things get heated . I'm sure I'm going to be defensive , I'm sure I might even lash out , but you know what is what I need ?

Not what I want to hear is what I need , okay , okay , so that's why I stick to these buckets . These are the ones I'm comfortable talking about . Conscious touch is way beyond the buckets of this podcast . It's just that's how big consciousness is . This is why I'm saying what I'm saying . You know , these are just small parts , very small parts of consciousness .

I just happen to cover these three buckets politics , tech development . You know , I just happen to cover these three buckets politics , tech development . If I put an S in between that , it would be PTSD . I don't want that acronym to come up , so we're just going to leave it like that . I don't want to promote PTSD .

That's just the mound , and God help those people . Really , I'm just going to focus just a little bit more on the tech . I mean , how can we maintain our humanity ? Let me just go with a big , broad question . So just say AI and all that . I mean , how can we take ? I feel like we losing our sense of humanity , being overly dependent on these technologies .

Just be aware , right , be aware of our humanity somehow .

We use AI continuously and now , because it's coming after us , it's a problem . That's how humans work , right ? There's a good and a bad in everything . There's a pro and a con . There's a good and a bad in everything . There's a pro and a con . There's a Republican and a Democrat . We just need to understand technology .

We need to understand artificial intelligence is not artificial . We created it . There are unique ways to use artificial intelligence . There are the understanding that , just like everything else on this planet , there are going to be people who are for it and there are going to be people who are against it . Artificial intelligence is going to take

the jobs of quite a few people . I assume there's going to be new jobs created in some sort of different fashion .

I'm not an expert on that and I don't really like to talk about that too much in detail , because I can't imagine what so many people are going through that they had all this safety and security and then all of a sudden it was taken from them because of artificial intelligence . How this pans out , I have no clue how we keep our humanity .

I think part of artificial intelligence is forcing people to understand our humanity . Because if we go off and we're seeing what happens when we take too much technology , we see what social media does to our kids . Hell , we see what social media does to us .

Right , it used to be a big thing for drugs and drinking , aa and figuring out some way to get off drugs and drinking this thing . And social media is a thousand times worse . Because we don't think it's bad , we're checking our phones like we're crack addicts . Social media is absolutely horrific .

We should be embarrassed how we treat each other on social media , the continuously letting the world know what we're doing , when so much of the world doesn't have what we have the selfies , all of that stuff . It's embarrassing . We should be embarrassed with that right . Technology is .

It's not a necessary evil , it's not even a necessity , it's just the way it is . There are just too many people right now , at a certain level of consciousness , that are just going with artificial intelligence . They're going with technology because it does make their life easier . Again , there are going to be quite a few jobs that are taken by that .

But we have been using artificial intelligence for quite some time to make our lives easier . We enjoyed it until it came to something we didn't to hurting our family , to hurting ourselves . There's so much division and conflict . This is just another topic that creates pros and cons . It creates people who are for it and against it . To keep humanity .

A chief consciousness officer is going to help that , because allowing the individual to know that the mind , this middleman , the issue , the thing that is either for AI or against it . Helping people drop into the source , helping people drop into the ability to tap into knowledge as knowledge , instruction and consciousness .

It does take them from here and expands their awareness . Expanded awareness Maybe they'll see things differently . Maybe they'll look at a job differently . Maybe they'll find a new job in a different industry . Maybe something they were completely turned off to They'll be open to when they expand their awareness .

The best thing , the best thing we can do , is open ourselves up to consciousness , tap back into that . We've unknowingly severed our tie from it . Now we are consciousness . We can't really separate completely , but we're always up here in the mind . We're always . I'm a Republican , I'm a Democrat . Tapping back into the source is going to expand everyone's awareness .

It's going to give them clarity . They may see the world differently . They may see opportunities differently . That's all we can really hope for . That's all we can really give the individual is access for them to expand their vision , expand their perception , to see what happens from there . Anyone who says they know what's going to happen with technology or humanity .

We're creating a whole new planet , a whole new world . Right now there's no map and that's quite scary for a lot of people .

And for those of you who are just paying attention to audio , it looks like I'm just trying to peep at somebody . I may look a little crazy doing this , but I'm creating my artificial tunnel vision . I'm just covering my my hands over my head , just let's get my eyes . Just a limited vision here .

And then by the time , the con once you start to have that consciousness , it opens wide , expand our vision , awareness and all of that . And I'm just giving explanation because I don't want to just alienate you audio listeners , but that's what it's like .

When we want to ignore and disconnect from consciousness , we have a very limited , darkened perspective and then , once we get into that , it opens and you're going to get a lot more aha moments and change this . That's just going to come out profoundly quick . I would say Agreed .

I know I normally like to have the happy and some silly jokes and all that , but I just want to make sure you're actually paying attention to this , because this is actually I say this is serious . This is more serious than political issues , tech issues . This is a very humane issue .

I don't think it's any more humane than this , really , if you think about it ?

A high schooler understands math at a different level . A PhD level mathematician to apply mathematics to the universe understands math at a different level . Consciousness is the same thing . We need to better understand it . We will have better lives for it . We will have better understandings for it .

We will be less divided and conflicted for it , we will go from third to fourth to fifth to sixth grade on our own , in a more sped up fashion . When we start to understand the source of it all . We haven't been paying attention to it Kind of like the fish in water . Hey boys , how's ? the water ? What the hell's water ? That's consciousness .

You and I are swimming in it . Your you and I are swimming in it . Your listeners are swimming in it . We have access to it at all times . Just bring an awareness to that .

It challenges their normal way of life , their convenient way of life , and I think convenience and that's why I love that . The way you describe social media , I think is the biggest drug . It's worse than even illegal drugs because we have access . Access to it is nearly ubiquitous .

It's available and , yeah , it affects our movie and especially know it impacts adults negatively , but it really impacts the youth badly . I mean , this is more bad to worse .

All right , it's not good , or , you know , if you want to talk about people can't handle , handle , they can't deal with social situations as well , because everything is just click and all that . And you're right , social media is selfish .

I mean even my profile , I could say it's not selfish , but it's coming through me , it's coming through my perspectives , everything's filtered through me , so it is self . I mean , you know , I try to make it seem like it's not me about itself , it's coming through me . I mean I talk about what happened in columbia university at a political event .

That's coming through my perspective , my understanding things . You're not trying to make a sign as objective . So true , social media itself , even the company , is representing that company , that company's perspective , that company's goals , that company's you know agenda . You're not gonna hear , you're not gonna see a social media of that company .

That's just use netflix , for example , insult itself . It might attack a competitor . That's not gonna really all itself . You gotta go to the other social media site , what's more like um hulu , hulu will be critical of netflix because it's looking out for itself . Even the business perspective and our person's perspective .

It's you just you know the profile represents that entity or person period at the fundamental level , and that's something you have . That you know . I , some of you understand that , maybe subconsciously , but I'm bringing it to the consciousness so you could clearly grasp . You know what we're saying here . You know that's why he said social media is embarrassing it .

It is because we do silly pictures around stuff so it'll be fun . You know the look the cat and the dog add on to the photos to make it fun . Or you know , add glitter and you know different shades of lighting and weather effects . I mean of lighting and weather effects . I mean I like the weather effects .

That part is pretty cool , even though you know that's why it's so addictive . We do all this stuff to make ourselves seem awesome and we want to share what we want you to know about us . You're not going to tell about something embarrassing or anything like that or anything that's negative . So that's why social media itself . I mean , he's right .

I mean I'm not going to debate that at the fundamental level . That's what social media is at a very fundamental level . If you want to argue against that , go right ahead , I invite you to , but I think it's a fool's errand at a fundamental level . That's , that's what that is . So all righty then .

So before we uh get to all of that , uh , let's do some shameless plugins . You have a LinkedIn account , and that's what I was able to find , yeah .

Facebook , very self-oriented . Instagram oh , super self-oriented . Facebook , very self-oriented instagram oh , super self-oriented , especially with the visuals and all that . They focus on different things , but it is that . But I think , uh , lincoln , I mean it has

grown on me . Before I used to find it boring , but now it grows on me because as I get to have the professor , you know you get to share great ideas , I mean stuff that we should know , and then people just chime in and it's not . You know they're not giving you F , you and your mother and all of that .

That's all the social media sites like Twitter , which I refuse to call it X . I know it's called X , but I don't care , I'm that petty . I call it Twitter . You're going to call it Twitter if you support me , but they are now making it about me causing a little division on that . But it's X , I don't care .

No-transcript , I'm not optimistic because it's going to be . It just is we have to stop being disconnected to who we are . Just you know . You can deny it all you want , but that's a fool's errand . Debate this all you want . It's a fool's errand , but I do welcome it because I will respect your freedom , even though you're being foolish about it .

Check him out . It's going to be the link in the description . Okay , he's not even doing selling a bunch of products like a lot of guests . So come on , talk to him . If you think I'm being too commercial , he's not being overly commercial . He's the least commercial guest I got yet , least commercial , and I encourage shameless plug-ins .

I encourage him to be a bit selfish . Just come to LinkedIn and have a discussion .

I don't want to say there's a book , there's a website , there's a deal , there's a freebie , none of that . So if all you think I'm overly commercial , well , commercial , well , can't give me this pass these for this episode today . Not only commercial .

So , um , I've definitely , I've learned something or even evolved by , or I should shift my awareness into a certain , to certain things and ignore stuff that I thought was important , but it's actually very trivial and nonsensical and distracting . I think distraction is our biggest problem , I'm sure you agree . Distraction , what's different , what's important to me ?

I think those are distractions . That I think causes us division and all that . So , just trying to unite and see that we're a lot more similar than we think , so that's wonderful . We definitely need more conversations like that . So , just , what's the latest tech ? What's the latest social media news ? Who smacked who ? Who sm who ? That's nonsense .

That's nonsense and that causes divisions because some people like that person more than the other , some people hate them . That's nonsense , that's just distractions . That's causing a division . So all righty then . So that's what I want to say about that .

Now for my shameless plug-in , which I'm not slowing down on Give a like , share , subscribe , leave a review on Apple Podcasts . Those are the only reviews I'm paying attention to . I will happily ignore you . Okay , and give me feedback . Feel

free to comment . I got good comments . I got hateful comments . I got constructive comments . I read , I even ignore the happy comments . The ones I pay attention to are constructive ones , those ones that get my attention . Negative ones you say F . You . You're stupid . I adore you , I don't got time for you , you're not worth it .

And then for the positive ones , I thank you . That's all I can say . But it's not going to go much from there unless you have a new idea or something constructive to help the show grow . And I'll leave a donation and there's a link to BuzzProd as well . The lowest one is $3 a month , but that's completely optional . That's up to you .

I am going to start coming up with perks for those . I have some ideas . For those who want to just donate , you get a little more exclusive content and even your own emotes . So you'll be better than the rest , so to speak , and that's all I got to say .

This has been a great conversation and this is something that should have been done , I'll say , long ago , but I guess better late than never , I guess , or that's all I can say about that . All righty then . So whenever we go to this whole audio visual journey , right once you complete that , you have a blessed day , afternoon or night . No-transcript .
