Nothing’s Normal Everything’s Crazy No One Knows What’s Going On

Like so much of that is realizing how little, like, control we have over everything, like, how we raise our children or how we interact with people and, like, what does and doesn't affect us. Like, the fact that any of this works in any remote way is insanity. Yeah. Like, it doesn't make any sense. We think it makes sense because it's normal to us, but it would really take a step back and, like, think about it. Like, this is nuts. Everything sucks. This life is nuts and, you know, like, sitting here with you is nuts. Like, you're talking about, like, some of the people you've met through this and they're like, how did I get here? And, like, what is this? Like, yeah, I feel that way too. Like, what the fuck is going on? Like, what did I do to get here? Like, this is weird. What did I do to get here? I think I really believe in some strange way that this thing made me do this. Yeah. That this podcast, like, almost like the universe made me do this. Yeah. It sounds, like, so pretentious, but I'm just being honest. I feel like almost like this thing has a life of its own and a mind of its own. And it tricked me. Yeah. It tricked me and it played on my obsessive mind. Just keep doing it. Keep doing it. Maybe you get better at this. Hey, keep doing it. Bring on other people. Keep doing it. Keep doing it. And through this, untold millions of people have been exposed to all these different items. We've had three billion downloads over the course of ten years. So, I don't know how many people that is. How many individuals, but it's a fuckload. So, all of these different people have come on and expressed all these different ideas. And so many different people are hearing them in their earbuds, whether in traffic or when they're at the gym. And all these ideas percolate inside people's brains and then it gives them different perspectives. And then it makes them maybe explore things. Maybe I'm going to try jujitsu. Maybe I'm going to try yoga. Maybe I'm going to try eating better. Maybe I'm going to try doing this. And through all that, you see a shift in the culture of the human beings that have been affected by all these people's conversations. And for me, it feels like I'm getting sucked into being here. I'm like, okay. And then also, me getting better at it, it's just me. It's like it showing me how to extract better information, get out of my fucking way, don't ruin it, and make it better for the people that are listening. It's really what it feels like. I know, it's crazy. It's crazy. Even saying it sounds like hippy bullshit. Well, and you think about why are we attracted to certain things, certain people, certain... Sometimes we're attracted to people that doesn't make any fucking sense. And be like, everything you do and say and make me feel is everything opposite of what I really want. But I'm attracted to you and these things bring a certain thing out of me. Develop me in a certain way where nobody else could do that. This person does that for me for some reason, or this action, this sport, this thing. Like, why am I drawn by that? I shouldn't be. Like, it's fucking horrible. And it hurts. And all these things, that doesn't make any sense at all. But nothing makes any sense at all. And it doesn't make any sense. I think that's why it's so vital to follow your heart and follow the things you feel because everything else, nobody knows what the fuck is going on. Nobody can tell you what you should do or shouldn't do to be successful or to be happy or to be all these things. You've got to listen to what's inside of you. Yeah, I mean, you could be wrong. You could listen to what's inside of you and you could be wrong. But you have to learn how to decipher that voice better. I've been wrong about things that I thought I wanted. And then you go, oh, okay, this is why I was wrong. I was delusional or I was kidding myself. Or fixated on the wrong thing. Yeah. Or I was thinking that this thing was going to bring me some sort of peace. So it was going to bring me some sort of normalcy. And then it doesn't happen. So you go, all right, well, I guess there is no normalcy. Nothing is normal. Everything's crazy. We're all nuts. Nobody knows what's going on. All those things, that should be a t-shirt. Nothing is normal. Everything is crazy. No one knows what's going on at all. The sooner we realize that, the better we'll be. We're all in a loony thing. Yeah, it will definitely be easier. That's why I'm always scared of drugs that make people confident. My favorite drug is marijuana because it does the opposite of making me confident. It makes me paranoid. It makes me compassionate. And it makes me also like, oh, jeez, this is crazy. That's why I like it. I like it because I think the drugs that make you confident, we should all be a little less confident. We need each other a lot more than we like to pretend. And this life is like this temporary thing that we're going through. We have a certain amount of heartbeats. And then who knows? The lights go out and hopefully we go to a better place. But yeah. Well, I think the thing it does too is it strips that veil away, like that veil of feeling like everything's in balance and normal. And you know, life is like this is life. Like, life is fucking weird, man. Weird. Super weird. Super weird. We distract ourselves with normalcy and habits. But take a step back and like, this is nuts. This is all nuts. And we pretend like it's normal and it's cool and everyone's like in agree and said, like, we all know what's going on. We don't know what the fuck's going on. We're all living in a spaceship flying through the atmosphere. Yeah. We're all tripping balls over here. We're just all doing it so it feels normal. But we can find some moments of comfort and happiness in the chaos. And that's what we're all seeking. Yeah. You know, we're all seeking these moments of comfort and happiness and camaraderie and friendship. You know, we're all seeking love too. We're all seeking the good feelings. Yeah. But you got to get through the shitty ones to even appreciate the good feelings. It's a catch-22. Yeah. Yeah. But just understand that you need the good and the bad. Yeah. You don't know what good is unless you have bad. Yeah. It has to be that way.
