We can call them illusions, but they are all existing constructs we exist in. And it's up to us to collectively shift those constructs into something that is more humane. And there's so much more I have to say around that. So I'm going to stop my episode here. Bye

You might want to change, but it has to come from a place where you know yourself enough to know that where you're going to go in this change is you're going to be okay whatever happens. But if you're really in an unstable place, you can't take the red pill. You've got to stay blue until you have some grounding and have some intelligence and have some capacity
Some people are comfortable with the norm and not questioning things, and some are not. And my personal philosophy is to each their own. If you're happy that way and you're able to survive, and that's what your life mindset is, then so be it, because there's a lot of things that go into that, whether it be someone's age, whether it be their culture, gosh, I don't know. There is a lot that goes into that
When it was time for him to go, he was like, well, I'm just going to let me go because I'm tired of know, because I guess that empathic thing was so strong with him. He was feeling so much pain from others that he just couldn't take it anymore. So I can't help but do what I do. I can't help but be who I am. But I feel sorry for the people that have been chosen and didn't ask for it

And I've had to move to a space of acceptance with that that I could find positioning myself in an unrighteous place if I start to look at someone else and judge them because then at that point how am I any different than they are? So more than anything I really try to focus on and I'm not perfect at it. Some days I struggle of how do I look at them from a space of acceptance that this is where they are

It interesting factory settings. I would even propose the idea are there any factory settings? Is there really a red pill or blue pill? Or are these just constructs ideas that we make up to validate ourself in some sense of worth? I get what you were talking about in the premise of the guy or the the person you were speaking about. I can't remember if you said it was a male or female. I guess it doesn't really matter
And then I go back and start all over again. But yeah, I think that some people just don't have a choice. Like you. I don't think you have a choice. You're always going to be, and I can't even call it skeptical, you're always going to be on the same line as the question or the subject, but not with either one. And I'm not even saying in between
That way you don't put anybody out or feel you're above below anyone. Then you don't have to name it. Is that kind of on the right track? I don't know. I just figured I put it in there because I just thought about it. And it does make sense because I never even thought about this. Alpha male, beta male, sigma male. And I still don't. I just do what I do. I don't know where I fall

Thank you. Yeah. I can't really speak to too much of how you feel about me or perceive me. But what I can say and what I represent and stand for or at least try to on Swell is to offer alternate points of view. And nowhere do I find this more integral than when there are binary points of view that people consider to be the only points of view that there is. In this case, red pill or blue pill. It's become so ingrained in Internet culture now

Will the memories still be here of my parents? Would the memories of my life still be there? Or would it be an automatic blockout? And then I have a new life because there are some good memories staying blue, and then there'll be some new adventures going red. So either way, it's a hard decision to make
I'm going to give you all the credit for that. Factory settings. That gives me another talking point. But to basically add to what you're saying, I get you 100%. 100%. I had to pause it there, cut my recording, because speaking of factory setting, right? You got the classic jackass who thinks because he has a muscle car, right? He has to tell me that he does by flooring it at full speed and power, right?
