I wanted to just quickly touch on Amazing news we of course covered about a week or two back um neurolink of course made their first uh implant in a human being it was a quadriplegic and a couple weeks ago it was basically neuralink got success successful implant the dude’s still
Alive which was like that was the the measuring stick is he still alive he’s still alive but you sent me some amazing news dude where he’s alive he’s well and he’s been able to click a mouse through his thoughts so through his thoughts I mean he’s a quadriplegic
He’s paralyzed from the neck down pretty much and his thoughts through neuralink are activating a mouse click yep might sound small guys but this is crazy I mean we can’t do that think of clicking a mouse did you click the mouse no you didn’t so the quadruple
Chick is more able than you [ __ ] but that is some dopeness this I don’t know why people are more excited about this I’ve just been hearing people crying how hey [ __ ] did you volunteer to get it like your skull cut no so shut up okay leave us all it’s
Because all the quadriplegics are going to become the new sentient AI beans oh body will live in here and San AI beans will be in the network dude hey there is there’s an actual amazing um uh anime well it’s not an anime it’s like I don’t know if anybody’s watched Invincible or
Something like that where it’s like it’s like an anime but it’s like a cartoon but it’s more for adults and all that stuff and it’s called Pantheon Pantheon and the premise is basically they build this AI but then everybody starts living in the synthetic world versus the real world and
Everybody starts passing over to the synthetic world and there’s a dystopia between the two worlds and how you get there and how you can transfer all your brain and all your memory into the digital format and it was an amazing uh there’s two seasons of it I thought it
Was great the first season’s a little bit kidish but the second season goes a little bit more into the detail of the AI and how we transfer and all that um but I thought like that’s an interesting concept that you can basically scan your brain and all your memories and all your
Knowledge into a digital format put yourself into a um simulation or synthetic simulation of the world and create whatever you want in it we are hurling to it like the minute you can convert thoughts into ones and zeros y it is only a matter of time [ __ ] shout
Out to musk and the team at uring um really special against the man right don’t get don’t bet against Lex Luther all right yeah Lex Luther with hair before Lex Luther turns evil why did you say that cuz now we know that there’s like another level to El Elon Musk is
Not evil the minute he starts like experiencing male patent baldness then we got weird [ __ ] [ __ ] dude as soon as as soon as his skull is shiny then we have to then we have to make some questionable thoughts about whether or not we’re going to back him or not right
Exactly mother first so Mansa Joshua what’s in the docket for this week dude currently we’re going to be chatting about how the Ukraine war has turned two and the details within the Russian um Russian Ukraine war from February 24th of February 20122 four years ago J can
You believe it four years ago Jesus Christ I can’t believe that you got a matrick I can’t believe that you actually like got an educational qualification I’m so confused between bro CU you know how when 2020 hit and it was and then you had these two years of
[ __ ] dude unnown ability and it’s gone all of a sudden then everything’s okay struggling to account for those two years dude we got a new story of a guy called uh thick Guan dark he’s thick oh yes I’m not sure about this French Indonesian person but JJ would like to um talk
About the monk 100% this is all in relation with um a US military officer who basically set himself on fire um in front of the Israeli Embassy in the states he screamed of course whilst he was a light that um he doesn’t want to be wasn’t enlightened
Right am I too insensitive I’m no well for one it’s not me so it’s fine [ __ ] for once it’s not me dude hey you can’t say it’s a black you can’t say it’s a white guy right it’s always a [ __ ] white guy dude as Google’s new AI showed
Us it’s always the white guy and on to AI news obviously Google literally they relaunched their failed AI uh platform which was called B under the new name Gemini but they forgot to include white people in the algorithm which was quite interesting um so we’re going to take a look at all of
That CH this Og man M welcome to the OG session thank you all so much for joining us of course if you are new here feel free to subscribe to the channel turn your notifications on so you’re notified whenever we drop new content of course like the video uh share it with
Your friends family and interact with us in the comments below um anything you’d like to see in future questions you might have just be nice please 24th of February 2022 where were you the world the look Jay this is this is an amazing fact this is an anecdotal fact when I because I
Look at the stock market most of the times to check out Financial details of different companies etc etc but when I saw this happening when I heard that Russian Russians bombed Ukraine or the other way around whatever whichever way you want to think about it the stock market plummeted about well the NASDAQ
Plummeted about 5% now for the NASDAQ to Plum at 5 to 10% in like the space of a day is incredibly insane that’s like volatility to the Max and then the very next day the very next day there was a huge huge buyback so that 5 to 10% depletion
Became 5 to 10% back to its standard normal and I thought to myself that’s [ __ ] insane how can volatility fluctuate all the way down 5 10% and then come back all again the next day then I thought to myself well this is all a lie because if it’s an actual War
You should see money going into defense units and into um governments instead of into the NASDAQ in instead of business yeah but you know how creepy it is how many um I mean Co is a similar situation where you saw so much money move like couple weeks prior to
The pandemic being declared or maybe even a month or two before it being declared which was in the end of March but we know it started late I mean hence covid-19 started late 2019 and there’s lots of reports one of them being the prime minister of the UK Rishi sunak who basically made
Huge Investments um in the pharmaceutical companies that basically ended up monopolizing Co and you saw like a month or two prior heavy investment and now D’s a bajillionaire like so there’s a whole lot of these weird convenient um trading uh coincidences as they’d like
Us to to believe them to be but it is like you say a proper reflection of what’s actually happening because in the media there’s the panic and the panamine and the entertainment and then on the stock market is the actual reality as to what are people actually
Doing what are they actually you do it and yeah that’s where you see that people are still treating such a devastating um situation as a money grab so just to go into some details as far as the war guys of course started 24th of Feb
2022 um as with all wars you have two sides to or three sides to the story so depending on who you believe um we determine who you think is actually winning the war so we’ll start with um basically Ukraine’s perspective right so as per zensi approximately 50,000 civilians
Have been killed in this war so far um in Ukraine and he estimates that they have killed or injured 380,000 Russian troops which s sounds extremely ambitious um as per Putin only 150 civilians have been killed and they in turn have killed and injured over 400,000 Ukrainian
Soldiers um which is also a bit ambitious now based on what we are actually seeing and the realities of the situation um the sad truth about it is Putin’s perspective or Putin’s narrative is probably closer to the truth um than zalinskis and it’s for the simple fact guys
That Russia has the second largest army in the world like think about this I’m not talking second most power I’m saying second largest like the numbers are out of this world as far as the amount of people that serve in that Army um Russia through out I mean they lost a fuckload
Of troops early on but Russia throughout have had various Reser reserves to dive in so it was of course their military reserves military reserves kicked out civilians civilians they weren’t finding enough then they started going to their prisons then they went to their prisons they found some psychos they went to the
[ __ ] vagna group we know that ended so Putin’s always got this this deep well of of um human resources of actual fighting people whereas in Ukraine’s case uh and on top of that remember the war is not happening in Russia so it’s taking way less of a toll on the Russian
People um it’s not an everyday thing to them plus of course all the censorship that’s taking place as far as anyone that protests the war and so on on zalinsky side on Ukraine side on the other hand um of course started the war strong they had huge support in the beginning
Massive Financial backing um were taking out Russian dudes they were reclaiming some of their territory that they had lost but then the realities unfortunately started to kick in the realities being this is a war that is funded with other people people’s tax dollars it’s it’s not funded by ukrainians
So the American people don’t feel they have a vested interest in this war hence their interest has waned over the past two years I mean two years ago you couldn’t find a Twitter bio without a [ __ ] Ukrainian flag in it and two years later Congress has been stalled on
A bull to provide about $60 billion worth of Aid to Ukraine they’ve been stalled in that that bull for like four or five months and in the meantime Ukraine have basically been using [ __ ] like rocks as missiles dude they’ve been using like slingshots to shoot the Russians with because they’re
Running out of arms they’re improvising making these crazy IED type drone things um and you know fighting is tiring guys I don’t know not I don’t know I know all of you have had a fight before all of you have had a beef whether it’s a Family Feud uh colleagues friends
Etc but when it’s something that just continues and just almost has like a NeverEnding effect the fatigue is out of this world and the mere fact that all of this is happening on Ukrainian soil means that the Ukrainian people are the ones that are subject to this and
They’ve lost their lives basically you know kids have the disruptions as far as school they haven’t been able to go to school and so on but like I was mentioning as far as Manpower when Ukrainian soldiers started dying in in in huge numbers eventually they didn’t really have reserves I mean you guys
Would have seen the famous video where they had um I guess it was like a a me meeting with people like a in a hall maybe they were like celebrating the soldiers so I they gave the soldiers like a show like hey thank you so much here’s a lady that’s going
To dance and sing for you have a good time and in that picture you could say to the man 99% of those soldiers look like they could apply for an oyster card um for those who don’t know what that is it’s basically Bally a a bus pass for
The pensioners dudes were like rocking [ __ ] gray you know in Co when everyone stop dying their hair that’s how the Ukrainian military looked like and it was due to the fact that they weren’t able to replenish the youngsters that they unfortunately lost Russia’s strategy was completely different where when Russia started
Losing their core military people what they did was they took the experienced ones that they really needed and really wanted and they shifted them from the the front of the battle lines into the center and what they did was they threw all of the Vagner dudes and the
Prisoners at the front so when dudes were dying it was basically like new recruits two weeks training one week training and not killing the actual core of the Russian military dudes with 5 10 20 years experience Ukraine doesn’t have that luxury because Manpower again guys chalk and cheese when you’re talking
About the two Nations and we’re in a situation now where Ukraine I mean Russia adjusted their draft bll so I think they move the age from for argument sake like 24 like you have to you you can be drafted into the military up until the
Age of 24 I think they move that age to like 27 or 30 in order to get more manpower um Ukraine has done a similar thing and Ukraine are now calling on a lot of their youngsters to to come and assist in fighting for the country and the fact of the matter is
That the youngsters don’t want to die like they don’t want to die they they’ve seen what has been happening these guys never asked for this war and yet they are obliged to of course protect their motherland which makes sense but again if my country had to come and call
Me now to come and fight I don’t know if I’d be that stoked about it so you’ve got a lot of cases of dudes escaping and running and and people fleeing Ukraine basically for their lives because they don’t want to get involved in this war that people
Close to the situation can quite clearly see Ukraine unfortunately is on the losing end end of it’s um war is always a tragic situation but I think even more so when there’s no there’s no visible way out um and this Ukraine Russia story is is getting very forever warish if that
Makes sense um so just a look at some of the realities of course of War we discussed of course Putin and zelinsky’s um realities of course being the respect Chief in command of their respective places again the wars happening in Ukraine Ukrainian civilians lives have been changed forever you know people
Have had to completely stop work I mean the amount of stories are read of dudes that were teachers guy was a [ __ ] teacher on the 23rd of February was a teacher on the by the 26th of February he was a [ __ ] Soldier you know russan in into
To defend his nation and then by March he’s now [ __ ] ampute because of a war that he never asked for that changes people’s lives you know um they’ve lost loved ones children have been kidnapped I mean Putin’s wanted um for war crimes by the icj or ICC I forget which one um does
Countries icj does countries um as there were approximately I think it’s what 10 or 11,000 children Ukrainian children that have gone missing um and it’s alleged that they were of course taken across Border Lines into Russia and if that’s the case they’re probably being brainwashed as we
Speak um and the sad reality is if you look at extremists extremist events it’s most of the time always committed by young people reason being little bit soft in the head you know propaganda can set nicely in the brain so I hope um something can at least happen like that’s probably
Happening to these kids as we speak um which which is terrible so people have lost their livelihoods they’ve lost their lives um and they’ve lost their livelihoods and lives for simply trying to stand up um and protest against the war you know I mean like I mentioned we
Saw what happened happened with the Vagner boss who basically approached Putin as to say you know pson I respect you what you’re doing is cool Etc but my you my soldiers are dying at an alarming rate you know and it’s like I mentioned because he shoved all the
Vagad at the of the front lines and he’s like they’re dying at an alarming rate I just want to see if like what is the plan how are we going to win this war and then he got airplane crashed the airplane crashed the Vagner boss um and since then no one has
[ __ ] tried to descend which is some wild [ __ ] so yeah that’s pretty much the realities of that and two years down the line um I think we we still faced with some of the same questions I mean first question that that that we need to look at and we need to
Ask is everything going as planned is everything going as planned and if not why if not why not the initial plan was Russia was going to basically storm into Ukraine in 2 three weeks Ukraine would have been taken it would have become another part of Russia just absorbed into Russia um
And that was that zelinsky’s plan or or the West plan was [ __ ] you Putin we’re not negotiating screw you [ __ ] you get out of Ukraine get we’re not negotiating um there were one or two things no we’re not negotiating get out get out then you had a situation where the
West committed some crazy resources to this conflict but the most irritating thing I think about it has been and look Ukraine has received a fuckload of aid over the past two years like I can’t recall any Nation ever that’s received this amount of Aid in such a short period of
Time but the worst part about this Aid was in the in the beginning it was very um okay we’ll give you this but we can’t give you that all right I’ll give you a helmet but I won’t give you a gun because then you’re using us arms to
Shoot Russia Russia’s going is going to start world War I that was the whole thing so Ukraine has always been hamstrung during this conflict in this war when in actual fact it either needed to be a hard yes as in Ukraine here’s everything get these [ __ ] out your
Country and then we’ll discuss repayment terms afterwards there was supposed to be that or it needs to be an emphatic no straight to the negotiation table so that no lives are lost but what basically has been happening is they’re getting just enough Aid to stay alive
Just enough Aid to hold off Russia for a couple days longer than they would have if they didn’t have Aid and then when that Aid runs out they’re stuck holding their with their [ __ ] dicks in their hand in the middle of a war zone with no food no protection no Direction nothing
Whatsoever um so clearly this is not going as planned at all and the main reason for that is I think the West has not as as much as the media makes it sound like the West fully committed to Ukraine the West did not fully commit to Ukraine um in extreme
Sports uh I mean in skating there’s a saying hesitation is what gets you hurt you can be 99% committed that 1% is what’s going to get you hurt and that has basically resulted in the so-called stalemate that we find ourselves in um currently next question are we any closer to ending this
War than we were two years ago so text there if we look two years ago let’s say around March or so right um March April this is when like Baris Johnson was throwing gang signs at Russia gang signs any kind of negotiation for example that Putin was
Willing to engage in the west was like [ __ ] you dude we are not doing that type of [ __ ] so again are we any closer to a resolution and two years down the line the sad reality I have to say is no we are we’ve actually regressed in my
Opinion because of the amount of the amount of life that’s been lost over the past two years and again not you know yes life is the air that you breathe but I mean the for the people people of Palestine in Gaza you can’t say that they are alive if that makes sense I
Mean they’re living from not even hand to [ __ ] mouth they’re staying in the most deplorable conditions huge lack of food Water Sanitation Health Care anything you can think of there’s like basically none of it left so you can’t even call that alive and the people of Ukraine going through a similar kind of
Thing just of course not in such a dense area as Gaza um so you can’t even call that life again when I don’t see us being anywhere closer and the reason being is both parties are still not willing to negotiate um zalinsky basically made uh a comment I think it was towards the
Beginning of the war that Putin it really hurt Putin Putin is still a bit s about it and he basically said he basically made a law that you’re not allowed to negotiate with Putin like he kind of made a law about it like hey no one is allowed to negotiate with Putin
It’s against like the law that you’ll be what what what what what and Putin’s taking him serious on that and since then has not thought about it you know he’s just basically had his army and his military service in autopilot just doing what [ __ ] Russia does Russia I’m
Sucking this out of my thumb but I’m probably right Russia have been involved in the most wars in modern history okay probably America okay America and Russia let shame you guys will tie for First America and Russia have been involved in the most wars um in recent
History where is the offramp so if we’re not anywhere closer if we’re not anywhere nearer to a resolution where is the offramp basically a turn that the world can kind of take for Russia and Ukraine because they of course don’t want to at this stage
Um where is it you know at this point in time Putin has Putin’s taken more land than um he had initially you know remember initially there was a coup um which evidence has come to to to fruition as to suggest that it was backed by um the CIA and the United
States a coup that took place in 2014 in Ukraine where they of course removed the leader placed a leader that they prefer in power um and when that happened Russia then annexed um two large territories of Ukraine it was um if I’m not mistaken it’s Crimea and I forget the name of the
Other but basically the beef has been he’s taken those two places he’s annexed it from Ukraine he’s basically made it a part of Russia pretty much and there’s been this friction since because of this and with this war starting he’s basically just started taking more territory now he was never going to
Release those other two territories two years ago or the chances were very slim now that is never going to happen Crimea and the other place name I can’t recall right now elderly man who means well the PO memory okay do mean well those aren’t going anywhere they are not going anywhere now
The question is is Putin willing to give up the new land that he has gained in the current war that has taken place um there’s been a lot of back and forths certain strongholds taken um Ukraine regaining them Russia taking it back Ukraine regining then Russia focusing their efforts elsewhere
Again Ukraine are being swarmed they’re being swarmed they’re running out of troops they’re running out of resources and Russia are swarming them but think of what um Hamas hisbah um Islamic Jihad Islamic resistance what they’re doing to Israel where Israel of course is concentrating their War efforts in Gaza but these
Dudes are attacking North Israel they’re attacking ships in the the Red Sea um they’re basically just spreading Israel’s resources to the point where they can’t be too effect look they’re still being [ __ ] effective in Gaza but they like if they didn’t do this maybe Gaza would be like destroyed two months
Ago like Gaza would you know like in South Park where they’ve got the episode where the the BP CEO he basically um he well they do what BP does and they drill for oil but in this episode it shows like hey BP drilled you know and then they
Leak and it’s I’m sorry sorry but here they drilled and they ripped a hole they ripped a portal into another universe so now we start coming to some of the more real um questions and discussions that we have to have one of those being is peace worth trading some of your territory worth
Losing some of your territory in the name name of Peace not in the name of winning the war purely in the name of peace my people have been through hell over the past two years support is waning these people are going to start asking us to pay this money back
Um my military is demotivated my generals don’t see a way out I mean there’s been a lot of um sorry this word because got Putin on the brain so this word disent there been a lot of dissent from within the Ukrainian military behind closed doors where they’ve basically questioned
Zelinsky’s um strategy as they don’t see they don’t see victory in sight and he’s got quite mad at these people um who have just been trying to be real about the situation and and man their own expectations because they can’t keep throwing their youth into a war machine
That just ultimately devours them I mean the amount of cemeteries that have popped up in Ukraine um in Russia Russia is of course hidden there deep in the the inhabitable parts of Russia but the amount of cemeteries that have popped up are they’re real you know they’re real
These people are seeing these funerals every single day these Mass burials um like I mentioned is taking a tll and the opposing question being you know so if if you’re not willing to give up any land for peace then the question has to be asked is fighting to regain every inch of land
Lost to Russia and bear in mind when I say every inch of land zalinsky is not speaking um that we need to go back to the 23rd of February 2022 levels where Russia still had annexed Crimea and the other area but he wants to go back to 2014
Borders where basically Crimea was still a part of Ukraine and the other area as well um and that seems like impossible uh if I’m real like I mentioned Russia second largest military on Earth one of the most powerful militaries on Earth um and they’ve got a
A warlord at the head of IT Putin Putin doesn’t mind a war you know again you got to look at who you’re getting into battle with you know it’s Putin it’s not s Rapa from South Africa you know where he supports the Palestinian people doesn’t want them to die which is all
Good but doesn’t have the balls to send people there because in actual fact he doesn’t support Palestine um and that’s another discussion if you’d like to get into it I’m here basically I’m from the generation where if your neighbor needs help you’re the one that helps you’re not the one that’s
Out in the street screaming help help are you just watching your neighbor being raped he’s raping him he’s raping him like sou Afric is carrying on like a a a social media like a kid with a camera who just walked past a fight and instead of stopping the fight he’s just
Recording the fight and screaming at the top of his lungs um but I digress I digress another question that and it’s it’s not even just a question it’s a reality and you know if you can’t be object objective um objectively blunt at the beginning of an unprovoked
Conflict um I sure as hell hope you can be two years down the line because now we have precedent we have [ __ ] that’s actually happened and the main thing would need to be how has public perception changed or evolved over the past two years like I mentioned earlier before every person
Had a Ukrainian flag in their Twitter bio now you’ve got funding that is stalled in the White House and effectively America zinsky admitted it countless times but about a week or two back pretty much if the aid stops Ukraine’s [ __ ] but you know dude once
A war hits 12 months H it just becomes it it it downgrades it’s no longer yeah it’s no longer a war it’s not a conflict his 12 mons it’s a conflict now so if we look now then at the the Russia Ukraine situation um they in 2014 of course
There was the the the the coup there’s like been tension since then not not really fighting more tension there’s a whole lot of new info that has come to light since the beginning of this war and I for example my position on the war is not changed however my understanding of the
War has as far as all of the people involved all of the elements involved and some of the shortcomings of both sides I mean again it’s priorities zalinski was given one or two opportunities to negotiate and end the war by unfortunately giving land away that he lost 10 years ago and his
Immediate decline of that proposal from Putin um which was basically declined on his behalf by NATO Boris Johnson America since then Putin’s been like and he doesn’t want to hear anything he doesn’t want to hear anything and if there’s one thing I can remember and I can like shout out my
Government for slightly because my government’s very interesting but it’s the fact that when everyone was picking sides rightly so South Africa chose to maintain a neutral standpoint in the Russia Ukraine war now they didn’t do it for the reasons that they said they did basically they said you know we need to
Keep both sides of communication open we want an end to this conflict we want to try try and mediate and come to peace Etc which I was like you know what after I thought about it for a day or two I was like it actually makes sense you know
Because end of the day you pick sides you’re making this war last forever if you stay neutral you can try and bring two parties together you know you you you can achieve much more by doing that but the real reason my government did that is because we’ve been in the back
Pocket of Russia um for a couple decades so and not the po pocket of Israel right no not at all Israel’s checks keep bouncing dude it’s it’s not cool uh it’s not [Laughter] cool so I mean that’s what we stuck with guys um let us know what you think you
Know in order for this to end does Ukraine have to give up some land or does Putin have to take it all because it’s going it it’s either all human beings take a time to to be created you see like you can kill a human being like this but to create them
It takes 9 months and then 18 years and then he needs military training and Ukraine are rushing out of these human beings they’re running out of these kind of human beings so let me know is your priority peace or is your priority sovereignty and I know it’s so
Hard to choose between the two it’s such a [ __ ] but the unfortunate thing is this is where we find ourselves guys um that territory has a very unique history again Sovereign Nation Etc but um there there’s far more to it than meets the eye but um even though that is
The the the truth that there is far more to the the historical context Etc then meets the eye it doesn’t change the fact that Vladimir Putin is a [ __ ] dick man he’s such a dick dude doesn’t change the fact so people tell us give us a bit of
A bit of a brief context around this story like why number one why does this story um yeah interest you and number two who is this person perfect so children come around gather around for story time okay today I’m going to tell you the story about um a man a legend by
The name of tick Guang duck please don’t call me racist I’m trying so TI Wang duck okay was basically a dude born in 1897 right he had a birth name of Lum van y Lum van tuck was his birth name okay and pretty much this dude was born in a
Place called um French Indochina which is what we know as today um as Vietnam dude was born um he left home at age seven because he wanted to become a monk French Indochina at the moment at that point in time was colonialized by the French so wasn’t a cool place the French were
Extremely Catholic very Catholic and this dude wanted to become a Buddhist and they were like [ __ ] that [ __ ] dude so he left home at 7 um to go and train to become a monk and that’s where he was given the name of tick kuang duck at age
20 when he was actually fully fledged um into they call it the monkhood or the Brotherhood the the the Brethren the monkhood so if you basically look at the the background of the region of course French French Indochina like I mentioned was colonized by the French there was a
Situation about 1954 where basically the French were defeated in the first war in that region um French you know China of course as I mentioned known as Vietnam and after this war what basically happened Geneva got involved as they like doing and they basically split the country in two and it became
North and South Vietnam they gave the north to communist China the South they then gave to um Us control and the us then put in a leader that they liked and and backed and basically this leader came from a Catholic party and basically this dude’s laws were hardcore he then
Started suppressing dudes um Buddhists weren’t allowed to display their Flags their parapan alian public they weren’t able to celebrate the the the birthday of their leader um huge religious persecution to the point where there were FC conversions um people were even killed and attacked by private militias headed
Up by Catholic [ __ ] priests which is quite interesting but it was Hardcore religious persecution um the Buddhists weren’t having a good time of it at all yeah so in 1963 they basically put all of these [ __ ] laws in place and eventually what then started happening was a whole lot of
Protests so you found that there was a protest later well mid that year of about 3,000 people um these were Buddhists these were monks nuns and it was a peaceful protest where they basically marched to the public radio radio station in town um they had their Flags out as far as
Their beliefs and they were basically Marching for religious equality and unfortunately the government at the time met their protest with Force um lethal force and people were killed children were crushed by military vehicles and to the point where there was even dismemberments taking place um just by some [ __ ]
Decades so in this kind of context right you’re in a country that has basically been played with by the colonial Powers as so many countries on this Earth were to the point it was split in half like so many countries on this Earth were um purely because of east and west wanting
A piece of it you know two colonialists fighting over land um as if they as if each one is more morally just than the other to have that land come the 11th of June 1963 the same year there was a protest that took place with basically about 400 bu Buddhist monks as
Well as some nuns I gave this some thought I was like do monks have nuns and I was like no they don’t so these were catholic nuns who were protesting against what their church or yeah their church and the leader that that was supposed to be representing them was
Doing and persecuting all of these other dudes this protest took place and effectively it it was announced the Foreign Press was invited not many took it seriously there was like one or two guys but basically what ultimately ended up happening was tick Guang duck arrived at the
Protest he sat in a busy intersection um did the Lotus pose and a monk that he arrived with basically DED him in gasoline and TI set himself a light in protest of the religious persecution the blatant and obvious religious persecution that was happening to his people and it was wild like he
Apparently did not move he set himself a light did not move did not make a sound until he passed away he was covered in yellow cloth taken away of course um and upon that happening they found a letter that he had basically um composed for the current
Leader of the country at that time Dick’s letter stated before closing my eyes and moving towards the vision of Buddha I respectively plead with the president of gu for compassion towards the people of the nation and for implementing religious equality to maintain the strength of the Homeland for
Eternity and that effectively was were his final words um he of course was protesting against something much much bigger than himself like it’s it’s unfathomable to think if some of these these these um brilliant and world changing figures of the 1900s the 1800s if they didn’t exist how different Society would look
Today and through tix act America finally was like okay we we put a bit of a dick in charge here he a bit of a racist um let’s remove him but America being America was kind of didling and dling with it so the people of Vietnam [ __ ] killed the guy they basically organized
The coup and killed the dude later that year which resulted in better leadership being put in place um but unfortunately more instability in the region as America was starting to lose some control over the South they felt that communist China’s influence from the north was coming into the
South and this is what basically resulted in the the Vietnam War um that took place America was basically trying to protect their colonized people they were trying to protect their stolen possessions their stolen property hey I stole that hey that’s mine you know so the reason why I bring this
Story the only problem with United States is they didn’t realize how much um the Vietnam people were going to fight for their country compared to other people they W they weren’t they didn’t tolerate they they didn’t go to war to fight a war they went there to
Die for the country there was [ __ ] around with that 100% dude the the the commitment levels on the Vietnam side versus the US is the reason why the the war eventually ended because a whole lot of soldiers from the us were arriving there so they had all of this propaganda
In their head in the states training propaganda propaganda arrived in Vietnam and within a month or two we’re like what what are we doing here within a month or two the soldiers were like that because they couldn’t see what they were fighting for and again they weren’t invested but the Viet Kong
Were the the the the rest is history so like I was mentioning it’s it’s an ultimate form of protest um it sparked many other protests like it not not not many but more and it it it for me is it’s such like a lot of people watching this right
Now including I’m sure us have had the odd suicidal thought we won’t get into details of whether it was situational mental Etc but it’s crossed your mind it might have just been [ __ ] coincidence like you know when a thought gets stuck in your head and you can’t get the thought
Out your head until you compete the thought you know what I’m saying never have I thought of ending My Life by setting myself on fire usually you like you’re looking for the easy way out you know what’s going to be the less P what’s going to be more
Painless what’s going to be less painful so that’s why an act like this is so it’s shocking and and and and it’s performed in order to have this effect because it’s supposed to represent the the fact that the pain inside is so bad that I couldn’t care less if my
Flesh was melting before my eyes because I can’t bear the pain that I’m having to suffer with on the inside due to XY Z ABC religious persecution you know that is that is probably one of the worst things you can do to a religious person you know it’s
Like an atheist telling an atheist all right going forward you are now no longer allowed to attribute any of your success to yourself okay this is bigger than you there’s more things on this planet than you it’s like doing that you’re no longer allowed to speak about your God
Because your God is Not So it’s it’s it’s hectic it’s been there this US soldier that just self- ulated himself in front of the Israeli Embassy in America when I heard the story I just had I had shades of this story I mean I’ve know I’ve known of this it’s you guys can
Look it up as well he’s referred to as the burning monk not burning man okay the burning Monk and when I saw this story with the US military dude doing the exact same thing if you guys have not heard guy basically went up in front of the Israeli Embassy in the
States um he poured an accelerant on himself he lit himself on fire um and was just screaming Free Palestine I will not be complacent in this genocide and basically just venting his support for the Palestinian people and his protest against Israel’s war on Gaza which unfortunately um is killing a whole lot
Of civilians um and due to sit we can get a detail due to other details in other stories we talk about such but this man’s pain was so bad that he felt the only way out was to burn himself alive and request basically a ceasefire cuz that’s pretty much what he was looking
Jay I have a I have a statement I I agree with several things you said but something came to mind when when you were discussing this and obviously burning yourself in public eyes is not only an extreme thing to do but it’s just an statement right right so it’s an interesting
Tidbit to State um your execution of one self 100% like I love how you putting it I love how you putting it because it is the ultimate statement there’s no fragility there’s no room for Ary faery it is as final as the death unfortunately he realized shortly after that my question though J
Is do you validate it due to the circumstances or do you suggest that that’s an easy way out like obviously as you stated we’ve all had some thoughts in our past and we all have to deal with in one way or another and there’s definitely um protocols and things you
Can do to assist that way but do you if somebody believes that that’s the right thing to do for their circumstances do you validate that aspect or do you try and understand it further more it’s just a just something that came to mind when you discussing fact
I mean again it’s if if I go back to tick kuang Duck’s example it was pretty black and white like there was laws in place prohibiting his religion there was laws in place prohibiting his public display for his religion there were laws in place forcing the conversions of Buddhist monks to
Catholics um militaries kidnapping monks and torturing them um into conversion or killing them there was that was happening for long it was it this is all this person knew this person lived in the since he was a child and with all due respect to the soldier who set himself a light
I don’t know if his plight or his protest was um undeniable if that makes sense do you have any um data on the actual Soldier himself ethnic background um military expertise like well look I’ve never in my life I’ve heard of a black person setting thems on fire
So that’s the statement I wanted you to make cuz I couldn’t say that it’s crazy white [ __ ] dud it was a young white I think it was like 21 or 19 so this is where I’m kind of getting out with this like tick Wang duck when he committed that act was about 60s
Maybe even older just I I want to I want to reiterate the fact that when he did this he stood completely still in awe burning there are images of him in complete it’s utter like stagnation of like no hair raising appeal to the external thing like that is scary this
Guy sounds the story that you’re stating sounds like he basically poured gasoline all over himself and started running around not enlightened at all bro oh and mentioned he live streamed it so this is what I’m struggling with like this is why this is why I asked you the question about
Whether or not this is making a statement or is this where or not making a spectacle like what is it that’s a very good point it’s it’s like the one why you why are you purposely trying to live stream it two are you actually doing it for the right reason and three
Like there are other ways to facilitate your opinions because you know no matter what you believe which side you you fall on in this the icj did not rule it was genocide now know this further details to it and blah blah blah and blah blah the icj did not
Rule that it is genocide that doesn’t discount the fact that innocent people are dying left right and [ __ ] Center but there’s much more context to the situation and I don’t know but I I see this as being more of a spectacle than a statement due to the fact that the nature of his
Protest is not based in fact yeah well I I take two two tidbits from this one you don’t do this sort of thing and live stream it to make it more extreme than it already is and two you know the way that he reacted towards like by all means we all
We all can feel we all can touch we all can get feel pain and all of that jazz but that’s that’s some that’s an extreme version of what um Mr thick did you know Mr thick had thick skin [Laughter] oh she had a thick thick mind
Skin yes y so that I don’t know that’s that’s what I’ve just been like it’s tragic it’s sad it’s horrible but it should not have happened when thick did it he was 60 OD years old you know this dude was 1921 something to that effect um look at your terrorist
Organizations you know they’re headed up by a bunch of old people with gray beards but when they send the suicide bombers out it’s usually [ __ ] children it’s it’s young dudes 16 17 20 21 you know guys that don’t have a full understanding of the world as yet
They don’t have a a full perspective to base such Hardline decisions honored and I hope he never had any children because Um it’s yeah I I pray he didn’t have any children I hope his his family can at least console themselves with the fact that he at least thought he was doing the right thing he at least thought he was doing the right thing however I lots of outlets weren’t even focusing
On this dude yeah that’s the [ __ ] up thing right this extreme event occurs where one indiv one individual back in the day when you saw the dude standing in front of the tanks with um and go through that was a massive event yeah thick um thck images that came out that
Was a massive event of these individual just doing extreme things nowadays one person does an extreme thing and if you’re not famous not clear it’s not extreme enough nobody actually gives a [ __ ] but is it is it because you’re not famous enough or is it that certain media Outlets cuz it’s certain media
Outlets that weren’t focusing on it at like at it was like and They carried on kind of thing or it’s just a conspiracy and and and the war’s not actually going on anymore and it was just a hologram that set himself line well you know
There’s with with AI now we we have deep fakes so oh dude I mean e thick example the um uh the Vietnam the South Vietnam leader that ended up getting killed in a coup later that year he accused the journalist that took that [ __ ] insane bone chilling picture of
Um bribing thick for good picture he then accused him no you dragged him you dragged him put him there made him set himself on fire so there was a whole lot of propaganda they tried to spin the [ __ ] thing with just like this [ __ ] is talking about hologram setting themselves on
Fire but um yeah really sad chilling story but the reality is not many people identified with his sacrifice as he would have liked not not as many did R dude it’s it’s [ __ ] up but that’s why you got to be careful like which is an actual statement to state
That we actually don’t give a [ __ ] about suicide whatsoever oh 100% it’s um it’s just a thing that happens but that’s another point now was it was it self- imulation or was it suicide cuz that’s now the question yeah was it a suicidal person who just hit
The brink and the Palestine thing just sent him over the [ __ ] rails and it was like well killing myself might as well scream free pal you know what I’m saying it it could have been something divulging from from some mental health issues that he may have had may have
Developed but um I will say this much though in his defense um guilt is a [ __ ] guilt guilt will literally eat you from the inside out um why he felt that guilt is what I’m struggling with and I think that’s what you’re struggling with as well yeah yeah I’m trying to understand
More so guys if you haven’t heard um Google’s done it again Google’s done it again uh Google’s done what Google does and they’ve [ __ ] punch themselves in the face uh you would have seen last year we covered um Google launch their own um AI chat GPT competitor called bar um and at the
Time it would have been fair to assume that it was going to take be a strong competitor to chat GPT because where’s chat GPT getting its info from from Google so Google’s got this whole thing locked and bod was a piece of [ __ ] um it didn’t do anything to chat
GPT I think chat GPT actually learned from B how to not be a bad GPT and a bad language model a bad language model and it slightly went away um Google was like all right now we going to give this another bang um and they did a huge Rebrand of the AI
Company um it’s called Gemini and it’s not really familiar with uh I’m not really familiar with the people of the north the folk that get sunburned that’s it can’t reconcile that fact and a whole lot of people basically ran some tests on it and found some freak yeah ass [ __ ] like like imagine
I’ve never like a black George Washington is one of the freakiest things I’ve seen in my life I I felt traumatized like I saw the the black Nazi okay a black [ __ ] Nazi um the black pope That Never Was and the I think it was a Indian Pope which was
Interesting and what was the what was some of the other dude the images are so wild I just want to um I so Microsoft has got a new co-pilot AI which basically can is is a form chat GPT but it’s like a co-pilot so I’ve asked it to provide me the
Updates on the controversy with Gemini Ai and it’s basically said that obviously if if people aren’t aware that it’s um it’s an image generated feature um this is the cont towards contri controversies was launched earlier this month as of um Google’s new AI platform which allows you to create um obviously
Generative um images using prompts right yeah um there were many users and critics complained about the image generative feature that that was inserting diversity into its images of historical inaccurate or inappropriate ways that it was doing this for example some users reported that Gemini AI produced images
Of black founding fathers a female book gay couples when asked for straight couples and multi multi-racial Nazis and many evil British kins of these Nazis some of these images were even seen as a raas in the history of the race and gender discrimination looked even freakier
What have you ever seen a black Viking in your like it’s one of those things only once you see it you’re like holy [ __ ] okay that does not look right like that does not what the like freaky dude it’s like a chick with a beard like if that’s your thing hundreds but the
First time I saw red lipstick and a soul patch I I nearly lost my life dude I I I couldn’t reconcile the T in my brain again if it’s your thing gang business no does this actually does this actually erase the history of humanity or what was actually thinking here like
Who signed off on this [ __ ] personally that person needs to be straight up fired because those are the kind of people that give certain diversity equity and inclusion um measures a bad name so there’s again there’s positives and negatives to it of course in this case you’ve got someone that’s
Blatantly trying to brainwash the public using a GPT which is one of the the scariest things I can think of I mean how Reliant are people becoming on this technology at the moment um just think Google sends you articles it sends you your news it if it doesn’t send it to
You you look for your news on Google um there’s there’s barely anything that you don’t do that you require Google for you know what I’m saying so you know you know it’s coming more and more obsolete Jesus Christ do you know what’s becoming more obsolete these days
What is that instead of using Google I’m using chat gbt to provide me with the updates from recent news events wow so I’m not even using Google you’re not even using but but chap GPT is using Google yeah but thing as as a user remember the kpis on you can’t escape
Them Joshua you can’t escape us I understand that what I’m saying is user interface has been transferred from a conglomerate corporate massive company to a language model that has been developed by one of its competitors that bases its knowledge on Google like Google’s still the Fountain of Knowledge
Google’s done this I’m say I’m not disputing that what I’m saying as a user I am moving away from Google to using something me better results you can’t Josh you C you might as well move back to South Africa dude I’m m one platform to another platform whether that
Platform you’re moving from Google to Google Chrome right definitely not Google Chrome Jes Jesus Christ that [ __ ] [ __ ] steals your data away like [ __ ] um the Grinch from Christmas man dude it just it just sucks everything up dude everything it’s so wild I mean anybody wants wants a good um Internet Explorer
Used duck. go okay yes it doesn’t give you all the results it’s not by way it’s still based on Google back from Google yeah but they’ve just basically scrambled the the algorithm if I’m not mistaken he so that Google doesn’t they scrambled the they’ve scrambled the fact that they can
Trace every single click like move you can do with your cursor on the web browser CU remember guys it’s all binary it’s all ones and zeros they can see exactly what you’re doing what you double click on what you single click on what you left click on to see more on what you
Download dude I um joined a support group on Facebook for people that have been implemented by Ai No for OBS dude I’m struggling a little bit with OBS just needed some some advice and I swear to God since I joined that [ __ ] group every ad on YouTube is for [ __ ] streamyard every single
Ad is streamyard hey hi and and it’s working because they’re really making some sense but that is just an example of how oh how invasive they can be um the I think what we are oh we’re struggling or some of us are struggling to get used to and eventually everyone will have that
Moment but we’re struggling to get used to the fact that we wanted this technology to kind of be working in the background quietly minding its own business whilst we did the [ __ ] you know what I’m saying and now it’s a situation where the technology is like sh [ __ ] shaping Society
Like there there was studies that came out um I forget the the White House official or investigate what that the most censorship they’ve ever seen ever in the life of ever was in 2016 and in 2020 as far as social media and they even went through how it was gone and
Weirdly you know we don’t we ar party to what happened in those meetings but we I felt a little bit bad for those companies because there there was some differences that the government leaned on them you know what I’m saying that it wasn’t like completely collaborative to start off
With that it was a request that was challenged and then um accepted but there was a certain amount of Leaning whether it’s regulation whether it’s tax I’m not youo sure but um they do allege some of that stuff there no it’s um it’s scary again how easy it is for these
Companies to curate our thoughts but I think the most scary part is you know you get past the curation of thoughts um where you realize what certain aspects of the media are trying to do as far as pull you right over to this side or pull you left over to the side and
Then you’re like hey wait I’m going to start listening to both of you so I can actually see what the [ __ ] is going on here before I put on a red hat or get a walking stick or a stage guide as uh as Mr Joseph has so so we figure out a way
To stop the thought like or to Take Back Control of our thoughts and not just think about what’s being put in our heads and then you find out when you’re doing that research to get a balanced perspective that that information the access that you have to that information is
Curated so now you need to get on the plane and go to Gaza to see exactly what’s happening it’s scary dude like what you thought was was was right I mean you could do it with Bas there there’s a a certain technique that they call um through an injection attack you
Can determine an AI systems biases it’s bolt-in flaw Etc and it’s through these kind of attacks that they were able to pull out these like what the [ __ ] black Nazis and all of that weird [ __ ] dude but again it’s Terri it’s like these guys will stop at nothing and in this
Increasingly Digital World unfortunately we need them more than we think because everything is relying on them just like we just went through it’s like no I’ll use my the the browser that my bank launched okay well what is that based on you can’t escape them dude they slowly crapped into our lives Google
Screw you Google you slowly crept into our lives okay to the point where we actually stopped reading books we rather read Google Alerts okay the Articles you fed us caused us to shut the entire world down you know what I’m saying screw you Google you’re so deep in my
Life I feel so I feel so touched I feel so I go actually watch dude no man I I don’t like hey now I’m just like with with all of this that we’re doing now with the channel you are have to have a digital presence and seems that way
Which is an interesting concept right like nowadays back in the day like did your your your presence didn’t really matter that much but now that you’re starting to create long form content short form content Snippets etc etc your presence your opinion matters a whole lot more than a lot of people thought
But I think to myself like does your does one person’s opinion act well one person’s opinion matters to oneself but does one person’s opinion have to matter for somebody else like you can agree but it doesn’t have to matter right yeah it doesn’t matter who it is
But that if it doesn’t matter I think that would um resolve a lot of conflict because we’d be able to just look each other in the face like wow serious okay you know we wouldn’t be like like no I don’t like him I don’t like him and
Because you like him I don’t like you it would like remove that but you remove the personal layer yeah and what are we all we are are bags of meat that are about to expire depending on when we were released out of the other bag of meat
That is going to expire dude because the intelligence is taken care of but all of this freaky [ __ ] you know we remove that human layer and it’s it’s [ __ ] curtains dude so just may may this be a reminder to a lot of you that you’ve got to have more than one
Source you can’t base anything on just one thing because that could just be pushed in your face um try make sure that you search for topics don’t just read the news that’s sent to you look for [ __ ] use different Outlets because that’s Tak the question whether or not
You can build a GPT that can provide you um or build an AI model should I say not just a GPT let’s be a little bit more General here um that can basically displace one perspective against others right I think the only way that you can build a competing GPT for
Example that won’t be based on Google would need to be an extremely specific um GPT so like the top 100 universities on the planet create their own GPT filled with factual information and the archived [ __ ] and dissertations and all of that and it’s unal gorithm it’s just there search you put
It in and it’ll pop up it’s not put it in and then this section will pop up which is adjacent so but you don’t know that so you don’t scroll you just go by that section and before you know it you’re buying [ __ ] flowers on take a lot dude it’s it does some
[ __ ] but benser that’s everything for this week thank you all so much for joining us um of course if you’re new here consider subscribing to the channel turn your notifications on so you’re notified whenever we drop new content and we shall see you in the next one please search the things don’t just
Click what’s being said to you it’s it’s like we said the other day it’s it’s an illusion it’s it’s a simulation dude this all of this doesn’t even matter like just enjoy your life enjoy your life enjoy your life be be exploratory yes not inflammatory ah Jay
I have one thing to sound off on that I heard recently that I think is analogus to this that I just want to just want to touch on quickly for those who don’t know there’s a guy called Alex hosi he made his millions basically creating um a gym launch company using advertising
And now he’s in the advertising business and etc etc I like him a lot for his values his ethic what he talks about anyway I’ve cated a whole whole lot a whole bunch of hosy mosies basically and I think one that resonated with me today
Was what he said was when we set goals everybody wants to be rich everybody wants a sixpack your goals don’t make you unique it’s the activities that you do that make you unique the goal of the winner is to commit to the activities the goal of the loser is to commit to
The goal which I resonated with me quite quite a bit did he have a mic with it when he said that so he could I just thought it was I thought it was a great tidb because everybody sets these goals for each other and they’re like yeah we should do these goals yeah
We should go for the hike yeah I should lose 10 pound I should [ __ ] eat better blah blah blah but you’re committing to the outcome you’re not committing to the activities that actually take you from point A to point Z and you know as as a human being I can
Tell you I have been guilty of that in the past where you you almost and it’s beautiful to have a vision don’t get me wrong there’s nothing wrong with that at all but it can sometimes distract you from the small daytoday things that need to happen um in order for that Vision to
Become a reality something that helped me with it was um having a tight schedule so having uh daily Todo list having a tick boox type thing like this is the type of [ __ ] I need to do XY z um because those are the small details that we sometimes
Forget um which can either prolong or jeopardize the ultimate dream so I what Alex balone what his name is Alex hosi and with his words in quotation marks do the work gang [ __ ] business dude hey yeah
