Going Direct Conversations

[00:59:33] S2: Yeah. [00:59:33] S1: Right. And now you can create, you need to create, we need to create new systems. We got to figure out how to play the game with the system to make it all work. Yeah. And, I don't know, I think the thing that hit the most for me was, and I see it with my friends, I even see it with other people very close to me, they're just not even understanding what's happening. Yes. Do you not understand what has been happening? And especially folks that have the traditional nine to five. And I'm like, man, you're selling your time. You don't understand every year. So listen, every year your money's buying 3% less. Then you put your money with some money. Money manager guy or whatever, who's then, you know, who you think you're getting five, six percent net of their fees, but you're actually like making less than the savings rate. And it's just like, and it's like, and that's why you can't afford it. And everything else is getting inflated. You can't afford health care and education and housing. And it's like, it's only just going to get worse. And I'm trying to like wake people up and be like, you got to understand, like you're sleepwalking into this thing and like give it another decade. And it's just, it's going to be untenable.

[01:00:37] S2: Their ability to, I don't know if you've had this experience, but their ability to focus on anything, I just find it fascinating. Like I've had, I've tried talking to people and eyes glaze over and they're just like, oh, this is over my head. This is over my head is something I've heard so many times. And it's like, this is the idea of sovereignty. It's like, bro, oh, I wish I could find you the quote, but it's like, bro, You're in this game whether you like it or not. This is a matter of survival, right? And you're generally like the supply chain and if there's two to three days food in the stores, I know you've got to go, but there's two to three days food in Walmart or whatever, right? And it's like, you guys are so dependent on the system and you're just walking into it blind, willfully, willfully walking into this. And it's like, People need to get shook, right? And start to, yeah, but that's you.
