You need to connect with people. You really need to figure things out. Do you think the shit's gonna hit the fan? Yeah, I do. Ooh. When? How much time we have? Where should we go? Well, Matt, I thought you had some connection with these things too. I'm gonna go north. Okay. I'm gonna go to some wooded area. Well, you'll be fine. I think the move is- I don't think it's gonna happen right now. I think based on some of the things that I've kind of seen online and the chit-chat and hearing- overhearing conversations with people that are part of NASA and those kind of things. And they kind of go, we got 400 years and the planet's done. Whoa. 400 years? Yeah. So if you think- for me, I plan, right? I plan or- that means that if we're not here in 400 years, when does that start? Well, that started yesterday, really. I mean, when you think about it, there's natural resources and water source, you know, it's all those things that start to kind of fall apart. And then weird diseases start showing up and weird funguses that take you out that didn't before. Well, another thing to think is we have only been human for quarter million, 350,000 years, whatever it is. There's gonna be something next. Yeah. You know, whatever it is, it's coming. Right. It's gonna be something that can survive the heat. So if this stuff can figure out how to cool it, so it'll become self- Set it east freely in the back of your phone. It may be. Start child. A- That was a huge age for- I met Ace Freley when I was seven years old. He's a completely stable guy. Yeah, for sure. He's not like you. Who thinks the world's gonna end in 400 years? I'm such an idiot. Why did I say that out loud? I don't think that's a bad thing. I don't think the world's gonna end, but I think it's very likely that human beings will be drastically diminished. Oh, absolutely. And I feel like that's- I guess I should back up. That's my point. The thing that we just are so arrogant about is that we're somehow included in the future. We're just not included. We are not included. Well, we've only been here for, again, 300, whatever, 1,000 years. That's not that long. Yeah. You know? I mean, even Neanderthals, it's half a million years before us. Right. So going back to now, though, and us getting along now and surviving better over the next little bit, going back to our, like, the people talking to each other. How do we, you know, how do we tee this up so we can take it and not ruin it with a reality TV show? Because, you know, every reality TV show you see, it's been manipulated. You know, they'll poke the person that they know is gonna blow up at some point so that it causes drama. And again, the dopamine dump and everybody's like, oh my God. Yeah, they're basically doing click bait in terms of how they're programming the television show. Right. So that it's not an opportunity to make a buck and to do that, like a genuine healing moment. It can be done. I think it's gotta be done online and it's gotta be done with no one involved other than you and whoever you want to be involved. No advertisers. I want everything to do with it. But I mean, that doesn't even have to be you. But whoever the person is that facilitates this. But you just can't have any producers. You can't have anybody with a vested interest in success. It has to be done just purely for the idea, purely for the exercise of getting people to communicate that have disagreements and realizing that so much of it. We know people dig their heels in the sand and they want to be right more than they want to be. Right. You know, more than they want to get along and be harmonious with each other. Right. There's a there. Yeah. And I feel like that's... I acknowledge that there's monsters in the world. There's fucking monsters. They're in us. We have our own monsters inside of us. There's other monsters that have been nurtured over years to hate each other or hate somebody else, whatever. There's that nurturing, you know, nature versus nurture monster. I get that. I'm talking about the people that you can figure out a way to like, let's just, let's figure this out. Most of us. Yes. Most of us can figure out a way to get along. And most of us can go south too. Most of us in the wrong environment with the wrong people and the wrong feelings and the wrong drugs and the wrong jobs and the wrong community. We could be horrific neighbors or... Hit the Coke button. Yeah. Or we could be a part of a community.
