IS ADVENTURE DEAD? - What Story are YOU Writing Now? - 008 #SundaySermon

the first thing that I thought about my friends as I read this ad is man wow that sounds like freedom can you believe that [ __ ] can you believe how sick I am I was sick I am in the brain how sick I am like I read this and I was like damn bro that sounds that's not like freedom like how sick must you be that when you read something like this brother sister nemesis boundless you better count me in if it was nineteen twelve you know this brother would be signing up I've built many startups most of them the face of Bitcoin is exactly in the place that I like to be we're gonna end it right there [Music] let's get into it let's get into it guys I want to talk about I want to talk about an idea around adversity adversity

and freedom that's what that's what I want to talk about today is adversity and freedom okay so I'm gonna post something I'm gonna post something right now in the chat and I want you to read it and I want you to marinate on it and I want you to think about it for just a minute here we go so just post an ad in the chat give yourself a moment to read it if you can just think about it for a second now I want you to respond if you're in the chat I want you to respond with a simple yes or no yes or no if you saw this ad if you saw this wanted ad right now in your life right now yes or no would you do it boundless was like nope Charlie Miller I was like no crypto mom's like nope

ninja grassman nope crypto bro nah raven sky is like nah yeah it's like nope so it seems pretty obvious to me it seems pretty obvious to me boundless moons risk to reward has to be worth ifs I mean there's there's a lot of there's a lot of a lot of gray area within this wanted ad for sure right it seems pretty obvious that most people are just like nope I'm gonna pass on this one head man says most likely not that's good okay all right and so yeah that's what I that's what I want to talk about guys that's what I wanted this is what I want to talk about for everyone out there in internet land who was not we're not here during this Sunday sermon then you have the opportunity to listen to it because you weren't able to be and read it

and so what I posted what I posted up in the chat here is a wanted ad it says men wanted men wanted for hazardous journey small wages bitter cold long months of complete darkness constant danger safe return doubtful honor and recognition in case of success honor and recognition in case of success ernest shackleton for Burlington Street so I saw this I saw this advertisement come up I have no idea where it came up just kind of some Rando thing and you know how these things kind of grabbed me right they grabbed me they grabbed my mind they make me think about things and obviously I went deep so I looked this up III did the the DuckDuckGo and I typed it in ernest shackleton ad and what we find is from 1912 this was a an ad that this guy ernest shackleton and put out

have no idea where it came up just kind of some Rando thing and you know how these things kind of grabbed me right they grabbed me they grabbed my mind they make me think about things and obviously I went deep so I looked this up III did the the DuckDuckGo and I typed it in ernest shackleton ad and what we find is from 1912 this was a an ad that this guy ernest shackleton and put out in the london times okay so back 1912 so basically a hundred years ago let's just say a hundred years ago that's kind of what we're working with here a hundred years ago ernest shackleton so who the hell was this guy who the hell was this guy so well if you look him up this guy was a man who is was an entrepreneur a man who kind of

paved his own way kind of maybe his character flaw of sorts was that he actually wanted to be famous so some people like to you know live their lives on their terms they want to do risky things and they want to do amazing things because they had some vision of what they wanted to be or wanted to do not not so much with this guy ernest shackleton so he kinda was a hustler grinded his way through life went through different things here and there but eventually found himself kind of working in in kind of a sea life and enjoying that in exploring and he found that if you can explore and do things you could be relatively famous and so he wanted to be famous now maybe this was probably one of the best advertisements of all time when the best and thousands of all-time

and so let me remind you guys as to why that might be true in this wanted ad okay in 1912 Ernest Shackleton had gone to the Antarctic and he wanted to do more explorations right down to the Antarctic and beyond and so he created this ad it said men wanted for hazardous journey small wages a bitter cold long months of complete darkness constant danger safe return doubtful honor and recognition in case of success I think what's really powerful about this ad is it really belies and really reveals kind of at least the the biography of sorts that I read about Ernest Shackleton that I mean it just shows kind of the endpoint like there is a lot of risk going on here there's a lot of irrationality going on here but I mean this really kind of shows Ernest for who he is right honor

and recognition in case of its success that's what he's there for that's what he's down for he wants to get the recognition and success as the story goes five thousand over five thousand people showed up over five thousand people showed up the next day after this ad okay and that my friends is what got my mind ticking this was near a hundred years ago that's all a hundred years ago a wanted ad in the London Times men wanted hazardous journey small wages bitter cold long runs of complete darkness constant danger safe return doubtful honor and recognition in case of success I mean that is a lot of risky business in case of success that is a shit-ton as trilha manila says here he says as a shitload of people but still that's a [ __ ] ton of risk for in case of okay that's

hundred years ago a wanted ad in the London Times men wanted hazardous journey small wages bitter cold long runs of complete darkness constant danger safe return doubtful honor and recognition in case of success I mean that is a lot of risky business in case of success that is a shit-ton as trilha manila says here he says as a shitload of people but still that's a [ __ ] ton of risk for in case of okay that's what we're working with i mean in today's world and and and i you guys the question right would you do this all of you guys a lot Hale nah not for me brah Paz but in today's world this is irrational yeah come on you're gonna look at me and say all this risk for the in case of success but near a hundred years ago guys this was

1912 1912 near a hundred years ago over five thousand men well I actually said people I don't so I don't know if it was just meant let's just say people over five thousand people showed up the next day to sign up for this expedition and I think he could only take like 217 or something like that it is a lot of people crypto mom says one of two things people either all wanted to be famous really bad or a [ __ ] ton of people were up for a challenge could be chilled endless as similar to previous talk this week of being comfortable don't need to survive as much this is true this is true exactly but this got me thinking my friends this really did it got me thinking what has happened to the calling in life what has happened to the calling in

life where the calling of life is a life of adventure what happened to that guys what happened to the Free Willy what happened to the to the lassie days the lassie days of adventure okay that's what I grew up on Lassie all right what happened to the days of Alf Eve even in the shows of Alf there was adventure right sometimes I mean what happened to this the calling of life were the the calling of life is a life of adventure it what is it and here's the other question what is it about a life of adversity for a in case of a life of adversity for an in case of success have we have we lost the desire for adventure hetman says we got too comfortable could be ninja grass master says or a mix of desperate or all-in gambler could be but this

was only near a hundred years ago my friends only near a hundred years ago it wasn't that long ago when this ad was dropped so what have we lost a desire for adventure what is it and here's the other thing really I think we're gonna work I think we're going to explore this idea why what is it about adversity where the more adversity there is the higher the in case of right the higher the the greatness of the in case of success and is there something of freedom this is the third thing that I want us to think about tonight is there really freedom in in adversity is there freedom in a life of challenge a life of adventure these are three things that I want to discuss and kind of dive into with you guys tonight is have we lost the desire for adventure

the in case of right the higher the the greatness of the in case of success and is there something of freedom this is the third thing that I want us to think about tonight is there really freedom in in adversity is there freedom in a life of challenge a life of adventure these are three things that I want to discuss and kind of dive into with you guys tonight is have we lost the desire for adventure and why does adversity increase with how why don't why is you when you increase diversity you increase payoff and is there freedom number three is there freedom in a life of adventure is there freedom in adversity now I started off this particular talk showing you guys that advertisement by Ernest Shackleton from 1912 he was an explorer he wanted to be famous he wanted to explore and he

wanted to be he wanted to do amazing and fun stuff and be famous for it and he wrote this ad in the London Times men wanted for hazardous journey small wages bitter cold long months of complete darkness constant danger safe return doubtful honor and recognition in case in case of success and we had over 5,000 people show up have we lost a desire for adventure my answer is absolutely we have lost a desire for adventure I don't know how to remind any of you and I don't know how to remind myself even sometimes on the daily that I am mortal you are mortal all things that I know and all things that I can relatively assume about your person is that you are mortal which means in let's just say you're about the same age as me and if you are then let's just say

you got 50 great more years 50 great more years some of you probably closer to 40 you fat [ __ ] okay or if you're younger than me sweetly you got more like 60 maybe closer to even 70 great years if you're if you're gonna be topping them 90s okay I hope I go before then but I don't want to program myself to do so 50 50 good more years 50 good more years nay I have to remember remind you that you only got 50 more years and number one you ain't gonna be around after 50 more years or let's just say 60 more years and no one around you is going to be around in the next 60 to 70 years which means you first off shouldn't give two shits about what anyone else thinks about what you're doing and secondly you shouldn't give

two shits about what people will say about you because you ain't gonna be here in 60 years and neither will they and so why have we lost this this desire for adventure when the Restorick reality is is that in 60 years you ain't gonna be here and nobody else is gonna be here and you ain't gonna give a [ __ ] about what they said or what they thought about you and there trust me they ain't thinkin about you anyway is it that we've lost the incentives have we been so demoralized and desensitized to the greatness of life because we've already achieved so much greatness in life in terms of material wealth and material goods that that the the need for adventure is supplanted by the fact that we can go into alternate reality is in 3d and get lost down the interwebs and the

they thought about you and there trust me they ain't thinkin about you anyway is it that we've lost the incentives have we been so demoralized and desensitized to the greatness of life because we've already achieved so much greatness in life in terms of material wealth and material goods that that the the need for adventure is supplanted by the fact that we can go into alternate reality is in 3d and get lost down the interwebs and the inner tubes and the boob tube and we can and we get sucked in to the entertainment lifestyle consumerism lifestyle that that that the third world would so love to enjoy like is this why is it because we've already received so much and we've been blessed with so much and our standards of living are so high that adventure is no longer dare I say necessary when I came

to this particular conclusion in my mind my friends I almost shat myself mentally because it was a disappointing particular realization for me that that that wheedle that adventure is no longer a necessity it is no longer required like like you could literally go through life with a zero adventure zero spark like it is objectively possible it is objectively speaking it is plausible this is certainly within the spectrum of possibilities of a nineveh individuals life for all assumptions I just cannot believe that we have gotten to the point where there is no desire for adventure because it is not part of the human experience anymore and so if the raw and we're talking about raw okay this is maybe maybe maybe we you certainly I think you can put the adventurer on a spectrum right a long spectrum and say well Peter to you Adventure is

X and to me Adventure is y and her adventure is Z yes yes good job excellent found fantastic critical thinking excellent I love it when people debunk try to debunk my ideas by giving me [ __ ] rhetoric like that clearly yes if you want to go relative relativism on me swingley nothing that I say has any merit but what I'm talking about here is raw raw adventure we're all unknown raw kick your face in kick your teeth in punch your face in jab you in the gut right shank you in this in in in in the spleen roundhouse kick in the in the ass I mean like real adventure men wanted for hazardous journey that's the first thing you [ __ ] read like III guys I had a serious moment I was looking at this advertisement man wanted Jerry I mean he don't

need and I like of course it's always like what's in it for me right like okay there's a job what's in it for me I want to know how much the brothers gonna get paid but this guy earnest he had a down pat man wanted hazardous journey all right well I guess if I can't get past the hazardous journey I might you know what there's no point in reading the rest but if you dare read the rest its men wanted hazardous journey small [ __ ] wages what's worse what's almost worse than small wages being cold what's worse than being cold being in complete darkness what's worse than being in complete darkness being in the dark and in danger like it's it is it is a a mini soliloquy a mini poem of the the the spiral of death that this advertisement really is and

in reading the rest but if you dare read the rest its men wanted hazardous journey small [ __ ] wages what's worse what's almost worse than small wages being cold what's worse than being cold being in complete darkness what's worse than being in complete darkness being in the dark and in danger like it's it is it is a a mini soliloquy a mini poem of the the the spiral of death that this advertisement really is and yet over 5,000 people showed up for this [ __ ] that's crazy to me that's crazy to me that's that's the raw adventure that I'm I'm weighing us against because that was only a hundred years ago we have lost that sense of adventure and I'll be honest I put myself in the mirror here my friends and I think I thought about hey what's my sense is the

sense of adventure let's see loading up Cota Cota - which is my coding application loading up Cota - and let's see enter enter you know begin [ __ ] writing code like so I mean a brother doesn't have to go far for what I relatively consider a sense of adventure because I can begin creating some type of firmament some type of architecture some type of framework to begin designing out an application or I can turn around I can hop in the Lambo or I can hop in the bloody [ __ ] race car right so I have adventure from a relative sense at my fingertips uh you could I can I could take my own pills guys I could take my own jagged little pills I get it I get it have we lost in a desire for adventure and when I mean adventure I'm

talking about 1912 Ernest Shackleton added the London Times adventure yeah we've lost that and do we need it do we need it I have come to the conclusion hmm after thinking about this idea is that we absolutely need it let me tell you why because this type of adventure is something that takes you away from the screen there is a world out there that is so amazing so eye-opening I was standing outside my garage today and as my in-laws are here but in-law was coming back from a walk and he saw me and I didn't see him out of the corner of my eye and he looked at me he said you're getting inspiration as you look out at the sky I was actually looking at the tree but I was in a moment of concentration I was in a moment of thoughtfulness and he

caught me in it it's this is how I get to adventure it's not wild it's not crazy but I do believe that we need the world needs more adventurers is what I'm trying to say we need people willing to give up a life of comfort a life of ease a life of automation I want to be inspired by these individuals there's just there's too much of a marketing machine in today's world and lord have mercy am i part of the problem better [ __ ] believe it do I know how to make a marketing machine absolutely ask where is he Raven sky right Raven sky knows how to be part of the problem we know how to market okay we know how to be part of the problem I want to be inspired by real adventurers I don't want to be inspired by people who

marketing machine in today's world and lord have mercy am i part of the problem better [ __ ] believe it do I know how to make a marketing machine absolutely ask where is he Raven sky right Raven sky knows how to be part of the problem we know how to market okay we know how to be part of the problem I want to be inspired by real adventurers I don't want to be inspired by people who are willing to risk it all because life is short and guess what life is short have we lost the desire for adventure absolutely do we need it I think we do I think we need it I think our future depends on it and why do I say that with such conviction it's very simple because it's two children that I'm raising who are gonna be their heroes do

you know what the Millennials heroes are today you guys know I don't ever want to move us into politic the the world of negative politics but it's it's so sad that that they're just so easy to pick on okay today's generation younger generation their role models are your your your your Nicki Minaj's your Colin Kaepernick's of the world like I need i say more I'm done those are our heroes mother [ __ ] who kneels that's you're a hero cuz you kneel get the [ __ ] out of here get the [ __ ] out of here uh you're eight you're a hero cuz because you you sing and you you you you injected a lot of fantastic plastic into yourself these are heroes I almost went and I was writing these notes down you guys know I like these notes I wrote down the

hero like who's the heroes who's the heroes that will show us adventure why do you think and then I came to this conclusion guys why do you think superhero movies Marvel movies DC comic movies are the only thing that you can ever watch in any season there's always some sort of marvel it's because we have to make up heroes because real heroes no longer exist they are a dead entity in today's society we have to manufacture heroes from comic [ __ ] books because real Pyro's real people heroes no longer exist so have we lost a desire for adventure absolutely because no more adventurers exist is what I came to that was my conclusion you let me know if you agree with me in chat ello says I remember this time last year we did the cohort I was in a rut trying to find

my next career move I remember writing on the mirror every day when you're later I have a new job and love it now thank you doge lord ello thank you for being here thank you for encouraging me today with those words I'm glad you're still here one year later and still listening to my lame-ass heroes on a Mac macroscale I agree zero starts in the mirror well that's what that's what Thank You ninja grass master boundless moves you know where I'm going you guys know what I'm going with this so the second question I wanted to kind of dive in with you guys so the first question have we lost the desire for adventure absolutely we've lost desire for adventure because the mainstream adventurers are all dead adventure still exists it's just on passive Lee watching others adventure in the digital this is true as

that's what that's what Thank You ninja grass master boundless moves you know where I'm going you guys know what I'm going with this so the second question I wanted to kind of dive in with you guys so the first question have we lost the desire for adventure absolutely we've lost desire for adventure because the mainstream adventurers are all dead adventure still exists it's just on passive Lee watching others adventure in the digital this is true as well Nick of course of course absolutely absolutely I just I just I want I guess what I'm asking for are more of them I want more I want more people willing to risk and I'm not saying that I'm risking I think I'm doing my best to build what I well let's be honest I just build what I want and it's really cool so the second question I

wanted to ask is why is it with adversity the more adversity is the higher the payoff now this seems relatively obvious right high-risk high-reward makes sense Peter don't have to think about it too much but I waited on a scale because but what started this entire idea stream for me was this wanted ad in the London Times from 1912 for Ernest Shackleton which said men wanted for hazardous journey small wages bitter cold long months of complete darkness constant danger safe return doubtful honor and recognition in case of success it completely got worse and worse and worse hazardous journey I can handle that hazardous journey no problem it's 1912 bro I'm in London bruh I've done the winners of of you know up north I get it I could do this some small wages guys well slim pickings I can do small wages nineteen twelve guys

no problem bitter cold guys its UK have you spent the winters up in Ireland got this long months of complete darkness okay I mean it's London 50% of the time it's [ __ ] raining I can't you know long ones I could do this constant danger bra really I thought was just a hazardous journey oh wait it's a hazardous journey constant danger is more than just the journey to win it from safe return doubtful we were hey mate I thought this was just a hazardous journey with small wages where there's gonna be a little bit cold and a little bit dark all the time but the fact we meet the fact that there's a really I might not survive honor and recognition in case of success well sign me [ __ ] up sign me the [ __ ] up I'm in bra where we

mean when we started when we leaving apparently that was the response back in 1912 by over 5,000 people so why if what is it about hiring route risks higher reward and is that is that saying only contextually relative to the time period because if I take that particular saying high risk high reward in today's society and I'm talking about you and me ninja nemesis Nick balance Edward trilha hitman raven fishing ello crypto moms dads I'm talking to you I'm not talking about third world okay I'm talking about you I'm talking about me high-risk high-reward I think it's dead because adventures did our heroes are dead we have to manufacture heroes now I mean it's so like under the this context as I think about the movie trailers that I've watched this summer and all these superhero movies I kind of like I don't want to

trilha hitman raven fishing ello crypto moms dads I'm talking to you I'm not talking about third world okay I'm talking about you I'm talking about me high-risk high-reward I think it's dead because adventures did our heroes are dead we have to manufacture heroes now I mean it's so like under the this context as I think about the movie trailers that I've watched this summer and all these superhero movies I kind of like I don't want to say I was kind of felt a feeling of revulsion but I felt a sense of pity kind of well up in my soul because as I imagined all these trailers for all these superhero movies I remember that many of those movies those trailers make me crack a smile I smile I laugh I'm like you know that's ma'am that's that hey that was right on they did that

right man that scene look great I'm like these are like these manufacturers heroes is all I got have I become so desensitized having been so far out never been so far gone no Nick Nick Nick Nick says it again adventure exists right it's done passionately watching others adventure in the digital world I don't think there's payoff anymore I just don't think there's payoff anymore I think the high-risk high-reward I don't do not think that there is enough payoff for the suffering that you may incur within the context of you're already blessed lifestyle living standards opportunities and income that all you guys listen to me have I think we have lost a desire for adventure because our heroes are dead I think we have lost the risk/reward because there is no reward because the payoff isn't worth it and so the last question is is can

there be can there be freedom in adversity this is an interesting and intriguing thing that came to mind as I first read this ad first thing that I thought about my friends as I read this ad is man wow that sounds like freedom can you believe that [ __ ] can you believe how sick I am how sick I am in the brain how sick I am like I read this and I was like damn bro that sounded it sounds like freedom like how sick must you be that when you read something like this brother sister nemesis boundless you better count me in if your was nineteen twelve you know this brother would be signing up I'd be like hazardous journey small wages bitter cold long months of complete darkness constant danger self safe return doubtful honor and recognition in case of success you know

what I think of 1912 I think I would have signed up in the reason why I I think I would have signed up now I cannot put myself in any position back in 1912 obviously I am a zero knowledge about that time period period and so you'll have to forgive me for filling in lots of blanks here but given what I think I think I think I think I know which is basically and I don't know anything is that back in 92 I think I want to signed up I think I would have done it and the reason is is because if I came into the equation with the knowledge that I know now on the limited life's time that I have now the patient which I work right now right the schedule that I have that now the discipline that I have now knowing

think I know which is basically and I don't know anything is that back in 92 I think I want to signed up I think I would have done it and the reason is is because if I came into the equation with the knowledge that I know now on the limited life's time that I have now the patient which I work right now right the schedule that I have that now the discipline that I have now knowing that my time is of the essence my time is worth a lot of money it's worth everything in life to me it's the only resource I really have I'm not gonna be here very long and I don't give a [ __ ] about what anyone else thinks about me or says about me because I want to do amazing things that I think are [ __ ] fantastic

and fun and so if I were back in 1912 and I saw this ad with that particular worldview at the ready I believe I would have signed up I would have been like brah you know what I don't know if you got a first mate I think I could do that job I think I could roll that I think I could do that boundless moon says my first thought was that this ad might appeal to people have nothing to lose I think we all boundless moons have nothing to lose Nick Nick says the proliferation of awful lot of Lars gives me the impression that the adventure here is the thrill of deep dark place is alive and well blessed lifestyle allows adventure to take a different form hugely different situation in 1912 the equivalent of a group of badasses versus keyboard warriors I suppose I

suppose the warrior has changed Nick and I supposed a blast lifestyle allows adventure to take a different form but dare I say Nick and this is kind of my point that the adventure of today how adventure has transformed today I think is a mere shadow a mere shadow of what it once was and I'm not saying that we are living less fulfilled lives I think we certainly based on technology and the blessings that we have let's just say technology it's basic technology okay because of the advanced technology that we have today we are in such a more fortunate position than back then then adventure has transformed but again dare I say dare I say it dare I say it that the adventure of today is a mere shadow it's a shade it's shade it's a specter it's a the vapor of what adventure was back

in 1912 and I believe that high-risk high-reward really meant something back then I believe they in they hadn't back then lost the desire for adventure and I think those men dare I say lived more fuller lives even if their lives were shorter even if their lives were shorter there was a huge part of that article that some of you guys remember me talking about not too long ago the article about the fear of killing a fear of death these types of things and there was a big section in that I was talking about you know kind of the whole whole idea around about feeling the adventure and camaraderie in the trenches and how those social bonds in the trenches is what we're so strong so sticky so compelling I mean I mean that that you you you I mean there's no other way to put

ago the article about the fear of killing a fear of death these types of things and there was a big section in that I was talking about you know kind of the whole whole idea around about feeling the adventure and camaraderie in the trenches and how those social bonds in the trenches is what we're so strong so sticky so compelling I mean I mean that that you you you I mean there's no other way to put it you faced death you faced destruction you faced absolute despair and the deepest level of human depravity against other men with other men that bond in is part of the the the the reading that I went through they talk a lot about was just so strong and so unique that it was so hard to find that back in civilian life which is why as many it was

so hard to transition back to civilian life because there's you you can't ever you couldn't ever explain to anyone in civilian life what that bond means to you right and so I think there's that that that gap right that that and and that with that fear and this was a section of that of that that article that research paper in that fear there was real adventure there's real adventure in that because you are tested to your limits you were shown within the battlefield what you were made of that is why 5,000 people showed up that's why over 5,000 people in mind in my estimation we're going all the way back guys we're bringing it home 1912 Ernest to Shackleton seeking volunteers for an expedition to the South Pole put an ad in the London Times that said men wanted for hazardous journey small wages bitter

cold long months of complete darkness constant danger safe return down for honor and recognition in case of success over 5,000 people showed up and I'll tell you why because these men or women wanted to show the world what they're made of I'm just making that up I'm assuming that I have no idea why these men these women showed up but in light of what I do know which is the reality that surrounds me now a light of a reality of softness a reality of our heroes are dead a reality of that there's there's no risk no reward in today's there's no reason to risk in today's world it's too damn good it's too damn good to risk anything bra why would you risk bro it's too damn good man you know you got 62 inch TV bro don't give that [ __ ] up you

just got your you know you just got upgraded to a BMW bro don't give that up probably you just moved out of that apartment you just move into your own condo congratulations don't give that up I believe that there is freedom University I believe that truly is freedom and adversity and you have an opportunity today to write a story of your life let's let's be fundamentally clear I want to have this Sunday sermon go off go out with a really solid head banger you are writing the story of your life as we speak you are writing the story of your life as we speak right now this moment while you're listening to me part of your story sucka I got invited into your life I'm sucking up some of your life time you ain't never getting this time back mom's you ain't never getting this

I want to have this Sunday sermon go off go out with a really solid head banger you are writing the story of your life as we speak you are writing the story of your life as we speak right now this moment while you're listening to me part of your story sucka I got invited into your life I'm sucking up some of your life time you ain't never getting this time back mom's you ain't never getting this time back yet man nemesis crook bro you ain't never getting this time back Raymond Scott I suckered you in you done wasted 46 minutes at your life listen to mine you're writing your story right now period I'm writing my story right now and you know what my story of this particular period on this Sunday is gonna be is that I decided to do something that I know

that I can do that's fun and giving and I've actually spent time writing [ __ ] notes for because I love this [ __ ] I love thinking about [ __ ] and explaining it or describing it to people who want to listen and you guys get to listen to it for free so guess what my narrative the story I'm writing today is that I spent time thinking about something that I think is important that could help other people and I gave it away for free so guess what I feel pretty [ __ ] good about my day to day the narrative of your life is being written right now and you're listening to me after I'm done the narrative your life is still being written except you won't be listening to me you'll be doing something else and what I hope that you'll be

doing is I hope that you'll be thinking about what adventure you could get into it could be small don't care but what adventure that you could get into that wouldn't cost you that much look it maybe just maybe change something make something happen who knows [ __ ] I mean it's not like you got you know only one life oh wait you do that's all you got not that I know you know brother don't worship Vishnu or Krishna or any of the other hundred thousand dogs I don't know if reincarnation I don't know I could have been a chicken probably was a Doge but all I know right now is that I've got about 50 good years left and I want the narrative of my life at least from now onwards to be a narrative of adventure a narrative where I'm helping others an era
