Rosanne Cash has won 4 Grammy awards and been nominated for 16 of them. She’s been writing music for ~50 years and picked up the craft of songwriting from her father, Johnny Cash. Her thoughts on writing music: 1. “Don’t stop working, just stop worrying.” 2. There’s a mystery at the heart of songwriting, and you don’t want to kill it in service of clarity. 3. Your ability to channel insight from the creative muses into beautiful art is limited by your skills. As a friend once told her: “Refine your skills so you can support your instincts.” 4. Many years ago, Rosanne had a dream where she interacted with a man named Art who said, "We don't respect dilettantes." Rosanne was in the middle of making an album at the time but would sometimes get distracted, but that dream was a wake-up call from her subconscious to start taking her craft more seriously. 5. Don’t write abstractly about big themes like anger and boredom. Get more specific, and write about the concrete and physical details that show these emotions: the door slamming shut (anger), the clock ticking in an empty room (boredom). 6. Writers are people who have to put their thoughts onto paper, lest they keep them internalized and get destroyed by them. 7. What makes songwriting different from other kinds of writing is that you don't always want people to understand what you're saying. Sometimes, a little ambiguity makes the writing more powerful. You can watch the full interview with Rosanne below. Or if you'd rather watch on YouTube or listen on Apple / Spotify, check out the reply tweets.

Here are three reasons why you're probably not working very hard right now to get your friends and family to register to vote. I will try to convince you otherwise. 1) They will never hold elections. 2) If they do hold elections, they will not allow Imran Khan to field candidates. 3) If they allow Imran Khan to field candidates, they will rig the result. It is more likely that they will hold an election and they will let Imran field candidates. If they rig the results, that will only harm them and strengthen Imran's hand. But for that to happen, we need to vote in massive numbers. Therefore, you should be texting your phuppo's dewar's saggi chachi's number to 8300 right about now. Okay so, 1) They will never hold elections. They have to ask for loans and aid from western countries and institutions like the IMF and the World Bank. The financial support comes in installments with the expectation that the country will follow some agreed upon democratic norms. Stray too far from them and the installment may not come. Since the US pulled out of Afghanistan, Pakistan is not as important to the US. They are not as willing to help Pakistan avoid a default as they used to be. To pretend that Pakistan is a democracy, they'll have to hold elections. Even the worst dictatorships are forced to put on this show. 2) If they do hold elections, they will not allow PTI to field candidates. If Pakistan's largest party and one of the world's most popular leaders is not allowed to field candidates, the west will not believe their drama. So it is more likely that they will allow PTI to field candidates. 3) If they allow PTI to field candidates, they will rig the result. If people show up in DROVES to vote for Imran Khan EVERYWHERE, then they can't control the images of the elections that play on social media. People will know and FEEL that Imran Khan won overwhelmingly. The world will know and FEEL that Imran won overwhelmingly. Now, two things might happen. 1) They fail to rig the results and stop them from being announced. It is very difficult to run a rigging operation successfully at that scale unless it's a stable dictatorship, which currently isn't the case in Pakistan. They are incompetent people, as we can see by their botched efforts at crushing PTI. They failed to rig the elections in July and October 2022. Imran won 15 out of 20, then 6 out of 8 seats. PTI wasn't in power then. IK had been ousted. 2) They manage to change the results. In this case, people will be enraged and might react in ways that the forces can't control. This can happen because the common people themselves just invested weeks (if not months) into campaigning, then braved all obstacles to vote. After putting that much energy into something, you feel greatly invested in it. The people will feel cheated and betrayed. They might gulp down their anger, but what if they don't? If they don't, the forces can't handle their reaction. No force can handle the angry reaction of most of its population, especially one that is so young. They will be forced to negotiate with Imran, or call another election. In either case, Imran Khan's position will improve. The chances of a better future for our children will improve. We're fighting for that chance, people. That small chance that we'll be the thriving, prosperous, self-governing, law-abiding, compassionate country that Jinnah envisioned. That small chance is all we have, but to fight the good fight, do we need more than that? Imran Khan doesn't. I don't. Millions of Pakistanis don't. Do you? Have faith. Text ur CNIC to 8300. Make sure your vote is registered in the place u'll be present in come election day. Give yourself a quota of three people a day who u'll ask for voter registration. Inundate ur Whatsapp groups with a FIRE video pinned to my profile rn that gives all info without being boring (I swear. It's already trended on Tiktok and Twitter). #ShaukatKhanumQurbani #عمران_خان_تو_آئے_گا

The Naked Truth ‼️ Sometimes People Don't Want To Hear The Truth Because They Don't Want Their Illusions Destroyed MUST WATCH: The most important interview of our time Russia-Ukraine War The Best Explaned Jeffrey Sachs: Biden Has DESTROYED Ukraine, More Funding Would Be INSANE ➡️The longer it continues, the less there will be of Ukraine. ➡️Russia will capture more territory. ➡️Russia will capture Odessa, Kiev. ➡️It was about NATO enlargement, where the Russians said, no NATO on our borders. ➡️Americans who were following this, like our CIA director Bill Burns, who was then the US ambassador to Russia in 2008, said, this is crazy. No way. ➡️The entire russian political class is against this. ➡️But Biden and Obama and Hillary Clinton and Victoria Nuland, Jake Sullivan, Tony Blinken, they just barged ahead. They've wrecked everything. ➡️That's our american foreign policy. That's when this war started. This war didn't start in February 2022. It started in February 2014. It started with Nuland. It started with Blinken. It started with Sullivan. It started with Biden, who was a key person in that whole thing. ➡️Putin escalated. He didn't start the war. 📑Well, first of all, this is purely money down the drain. So if they want to rip up another $61 billion, which is not chump change, they seem intent on doing it, but it will mean nothing except more destruction for Ukraine. The fact of the matter is, if you don't listen to the nonsense in our mainstream media but listen to your show and others, people would know that this war has destroyed Ukraine. And the longer it continues, the less there will be of Ukraine. It's very simple, actually. If this goes on longer, Russia will capture more territory. If it goes on long enough, Russia will capture Odessa, Kiev. If we continue the way we're doing, and this is a Biden project that goes back ten years now, will completely destroy Ukraine. So the idea that this is siding with Ukraine is absurd. Anyone who really follows events knows that we're not siding with Ukraine. We have paid for hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians to go to the front lines and die for more and more territory to be lost. Because the most basic point of this war, which is that we overthrew a government in Ukraine in 2014 that wanted neutrality so that we could push NATO enlargement, was reckless, stupid, and doomed to fail, and it failed. Now Biden is just trying to hide the failure to get past November, but the failure is seen on the battleground every day. If the Republicans play into this, its unbelievable shame on them. Theyre basically on the right side, although Biden bludgeons them every day. Youll be the one to lose Ukraine. Well, the truth of the matter is Biden has been a disaster for Ukraine for a decade. The disaster is there in the graves of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and lost territory. This is a war that never should have happened. It was about NATO enlargement, where the Russians said, no NATO on our borders. And Americans who were following this, like our CIA director Bill Burns, who was then the US ambassador to Russia in 2008, said, this is crazy. No way. The entire russian political class is against this. But Biden and Obama and Hillary Clinton and Victoria Nuland, Jake Sullivan, Tony Blinken, they just barged ahead. They've wrecked everything. And now they want another $61 billion to get them past November. It's a disgrace. It's completely a disgrace. To play devil's advocate. Let me give you the other side and then allow you to respond to that. What do you say to people that maybe acknowledge there were certainly missteps with the expansion of NATO and the provocation, but nevertheless, Russia chose to respond to that with an invasion. The situation in Ukraine is due to that invasion. And so what do you say to people who think, well, so we are now responding to that invasion by funding, not committing american troops, but funding a resistance in Ukraine that wants to continue fighting? Well, yeah, the war began ten years ago when Victoria Nuland not only passed out cookies on Maidan, but engaged in insurrection to violently overthrow a government in Ukraine. Pretty stupid. Pretty stupid to have a regime change operation on a country with the 2000 kilometer border with Russia. That's our american foreign policy. That's when this war started. This war didn't start in February 2022. It started in February 2014. It started with Nuland. It started with Blinken. It started with Sullivan. It started with Biden, who was a key person in that whole thing. And then the fighting went on for ten years. And then in December 2021, Putin said, look, stop the NATO enlargement. We can avoid an escalation. I talked to the White House at that point. Nah, we don't stop anything. They just thought they had all the cards. We're going to cut them out of this SWIFT banking system. We're going to bring the economy to the knees. Bunch of nonsense by ignorant people. And so Putin escalated. He didn't start the war. He escalated the war. And within, basically a week, Zelenskyy said, okay, okay, okay, we can be neutral. And the Turks mediated negotiations. And then, though the US government wants to hide all of these facts, which are sitting out there for those who know where to find them, the US intervened and told the Ukrainians, you keep fighting. And we have our senators who say, this is the best the money can buy, because it's Ukrainians dying, not Americans. They're weakening Russia. Well, they're not weakening Russia, but they are killing Ukrainians. So this is not responding to Putin's invasion. The war started ten years ago, and we kept refusing every off ramp till this day, Robbie, you know, you hear Putin say, and if you listen, every day, we're open to negotiations. And then these fools in the US government say, there's no one to negotiate. They don't want to negotiate. And then President Putin says, oh, we're open to negotiation. Oh, there's no one to negotiate, is what we hear from the US side. This is just narrative. It's destroyed Ukraine, and they just rip up money like there's no tomorrow. So another 61 billion. And now I hear from. From you that the latest plan is to take the illegally confiscated assets of Russia because there's no legal basis to do this and use that. That'll be really great for the international financial system. I'll tell you. Because these are people who don't think ahead one day. They just improvise day by day, and then they'll find out, oh, things don't work out so well for the US dollar, for the US as reserve currency for the US place in the world, because these people are acting like clowns, frankly, day by day, not thinking ahead, doubling down on lost gambles and everything to tell a story so that they can get to the elections in the way they see fit. Professor, I want to ask you about how the United States gets out of this now, because I'm reminded of conversations that surrounded the war in Afghanistan for years, which was that we shouldn't have gotten into it. This is a mistake. But now we've destabilized the country. We're in neck deep. We can't just stop funding and abandon this project. And that's a hamster wheel of sorts, right? So there are some people that I think are gonna listen to this and say, well, I agree with everything you're saying, but what do you do at this point? Is it just a sunk cost? Or is there some obligation to unwind this in a way that's responsible and doesn't leave Ukrainians high and dry? Ukrainians are high and dry no matter what we do. We've killed nearly half a million of them through this stupid project. And the ones that throw good money after bad are the ones themselves that are personally culpable for this. This is Biden's project. So this is the first starting point. You don't throw good lives after those already dead and good money after bad when you have an absolute failure and disaster on your hands. By the way, this is like every american effort. I'm old enough to remember Vietnam. The same words said about Vietnam. We do this over and over and over again in the US because our so called leaders have no sense and they don't think ahead. So, yes, we have to stop this. But the one thing that we don't do, and it's really a bit of a mystery to me, it's the worst I've seen in my whole lifetime. We don't negotiate. Does Biden call Putin, say, we need to talk? No, that would be weakness. That would be appeasement. They don't even have the idea that you negotiate anything. And, you know, if you try everything by a military approach and a failed one, and you do it in these proxy wars where it's the people themselves in these countries that are dying on the front lines, and you don't know anything about diplomacy? Well, you make a complete mess of the world. And so the answer is the first thing is the US and Russia should talk to each other because there's a cause of this war and that's NATO enlargement. And by the way, that's no secret and that's not propaganda. Even the secretary general of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, said that absolutely explicitly, as did the top negotiator for Zelensky, Davyd Arakhamia. This is a war about NATO enlargement. So why doesn't Biden call up Putin, say, you know what, we gotta stop the war. And that whole NATO enlargement that I was party to going back to the 1990s and to 2014 coup and all that was a bad idea. Figure out how to stop the war, recognize mutual security, and stop the bloodshed and massacres in Ukraine. If Biden were really acting like a president, thats what he would do. Its been about a year since a group of economists wrote an open letter about you, accusing you of denying the agency of Ukraine peddling Putin talking points, all of those kinds of things. It's a year later. How do you respond to them? Well, I don't respond. I tell them I told you so. I told them so from the beginning that this would be a complete disaster for Ukraine. People don't want to hear this. They don't understand. They don't know enough about american history. I told them Ukraine is going to be like Afghanistan and boy is it like Afghanistan right now. So they didn't want to hear. That's not right. That's not fair. Professor Sacks. I was telling them facts. I was giving them some good advice. They didn't want to hear that. They wanted to hear about victory, glory, how Ukraine's going to succeed, that great counteroffensive, all the rest, all the baloney. But I said from the beginning that this would be a disaster. I said this is just the latest neocon debacle. And I said explicitly it was going to leave Ukraine like Afghanistan and it was completely avoidable. So that's what I tell them. I'm sorry. Listen, pay attention. Learn something. That's what I say to them.

You don't throw good lives after those already dead and good money after bad when you have an absolute failure and disaster on your hands. By the way, this is like every american effort. I'm old enough to remember Vietnam. The same words said about Vietnam. We do this over and over and over again in the US because our so called leaders have no sense and they don't think ahead. So, yes, we have to stop this. But the one thing that we don't do, and it's really a bit of a mystery to me, it's the worst I've seen in my whole lifetime. We don't negotiate. Does Biden call Putin, say, we need to talk? No, that would be weakness. That would be appeasement. They don't even have the idea that you negotiate anything. And, you know, if you try everything by a military approach and a failed one, and you do it in these proxy wars where it's the people themselves in these countries that are dying on the front lines, and you don't know anything about diplomacy? Well, you make a complete mess of the world. And so the answer is the first thing is the US and Russia should talk to each other because there's a cause of this war and that's NATO enlargement. And by the way, that's no secret and that's not propaganda. Even the secretary general of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, said that absolutely explicitly, as did the top negotiator for Zelensky, Davyd Arakhamia. This is a war about NATO enlargement. So why doesn't Biden call up Putin, say, you know what, we gotta stop the war. And that whole NATO enlargement that I was party to going back to the 1990s and to 2014 coup and all that was a bad idea. Figure out how to stop the war, recognize mutual security, and stop the bloodshed and massacres in Ukraine. If Biden were really acting like a president, thats what he would do. Its been about a year since a group of economists wrote an open letter about you, accusing you of denying the agency of Ukraine peddling Putin talking points, all of those kinds of things. It's a year later. How do you respond to them? Well, I don't respond. I tell them I told you so. I told them so from the beginning that this would be a complete disaster for Ukraine. People don't want to hear this. They don't understand. They don't know enough about american history. I told them Ukraine is going to be like Afghanistan and boy is it like Afghanistan right now. So they didn't want to hear. That's not right. That's not fair. Professor Sacks. I was telling them facts. I was giving them some good advice. They didn't want to hear that. They wanted to hear about victory, glory, how Ukraine's going to succeed, that great counteroffensive, all the rest, all the baloney. But I said from the beginning that this would be a disaster. I said this is just the latest neocon debacle. And I said explicitly it was going to leave Ukraine like Afghanistan and it was completely avoidable. So that's what I tell them. I'm sorry. Listen, pay attention. Learn something. That's what I say to them.

MrBeast: "If you knew what I knew, you could get 10 million subscribers in six months" "Your videos suck. You think your videos are good, but they suck. They just do. And the sooner you learn how to make good, great videos that people actually want to watch, the sooner you'll get views." MrBeast shares his early reality: "When I was 14, I thought my videos were the best in the world. They weren't, they were terrible. To be successful, you kind of have to have a little bit of that ego where you think your content's great. But also, if you have sub-1,000 subscribers, there's a good probability your videos just suck. They just do." He explains what to do about it: "You need to make hundreds of videos. Improve something every time. And just get to the point where they don't suck. When you make good content, you'll blow up. It's not the algorithm. It's not anything. Most people who are in my position just made terrible videos, and that's okay. Because you've got to make a bunch of videos and improve over time to be great." MrBeast uses an analogy: "You don't just pick up a baseball and become an MLB-level athlete within a year. It takes many, many, many years. YouTube's kind of the same way." On analysis paralysis: "A lot of people get analysis paralysis. They'll sit there and plan their first video for three months. If you have zero videos on your channel, your first video is not gonna get views. Period. Your first 10 are not gonna get views. I can very confidently say that. So stop sitting there and thinking for months and months on end. Just get to work and start uploading." He gives the formula: "All you need to do is make 100 videos and improve something every time. Do that, and then on your 101st video, we'll start talking. Maybe you can get some views. But your first 100 are gonna suck." How to improve something each time: "The second video: put more effort into the script. The third one: learn a new editing trick. The fourth one: figure out a way to have better inflections in your voice. The fifth one: study a new thumbnail tip and implement it. The sixth one: figure out a new title. There's infinite ways. The coloring, the frame rate, the editing, the filming, the production, the jokes, the pacing, every little thing can be improved. There's literally no such thing as a perfect video." On the algorithm: "What YouTube wants is for people to click on a video and watch it. That's what it is at its core. By studying the algorithm, you'll learn that you're more studying human psychology. What do humans want to watch?" MrBeast shares a simple reframe: "Anytime you say the word 'algorithm,' just replace it with 'audience' and it works perfectly. 'The algorithm didn't like that video?' No, the audience didn't like that video. Literally, that's it. If people are clicking and watching, it gets promoted more. The algorithm just reflects what the people want." On titles: "Short, simple, and just so freaking interesting that you have to click. If someone reads it, are they like, do they have to watch it? Is it just so intrinsically interesting that it's gonna haunt them if they don't click?" He adds nuance: "Keep it below 50 characters. Above 50 characters, on certain devices it goes dot, dot, dot, and that's the worst thing because then people don't even know what they're clicking on." MrBeast shares the extremity principle: "The more extreme the opinion, typically the higher the click-through rate. 'Fiji water sucks', that'd do fine. But 'Fiji water is the worst water I've ever drank in my life', way more extreme, would do way better. But then you have to deliver. The more extreme you are, the more extreme you have to be in the video." On the first 5 seconds: "Before you film a video, what is the thumbnail? What is the title? Then what's the first 5 seconds? Then what's the first 30 seconds?" He explains why autoplay changed everything: "On YouTube now, videos automatically play. So many people don't even see the thumbnail because it autoplays so quickly. The thumbnail is irrelevant for them. I have to visually convince you to click on the video in the first 5 seconds. Before, the hook was important because you had to convince people to watch. Now you have to convince people to click and watch at the same time, with the first 5 seconds." On matching expectations: "Your title and thumbnail set expectations. At the very beginning of the video, to minimize drop-off, you want to assure them that those expectations are being met. If you click on a video called 'Tether is a scam' and at the very beginning, he starts talking about literally anything else, you're like, 'Oh, this is BS. This isn't what I clicked on.' But if at the very start you go, 'Tether is a scam and I'm gonna teach you why,' then it's like, okay, you match the expectations. Then you want to exceed them." He emphasizes the importance: "The thing people undervalue the most is literally the first 10 seconds of the video. That 15% difference in viewership between losing 35% of viewers in the first 30 seconds versus losing 20%, that really does make the difference between 2 million views and 10 million views. You just had a more strategic intro that hooked them." On removing dull moments: "You basically want to remove every dull moment. Find the 10 most critical people you know, make them watch the video, and just roast it. If I talk to a camera for 10 seconds without a cut, a lot of people will get bored. Having a B-cam and C-cam three seconds in, cutting to a different angle, now it's more interesting even though it's essentially the same thing." On keeping viewers watching: "Give them why they clicked. Tell them why they should watch. Then just stick on topic. That right there isn't even super complex, but I would already put you in the upper echelon of YouTube. A lot of people drag it out. It's like, 'I'm going to eat $100 ice cream, but first...' and then it's them birthday shopping for their mom. That's not why I came here." On quality over quantity: "It's much easier to get 5 million views on one video than 50,000 views on 100 videos. A lot of small YouTubers just post videos that aren't bad but aren't great, and none of them ever pop off, so they never get an audience. It might be better to upload half or a third or even a fifth of the videos, but make the videos you upload so freaking good that the algorithm has to promote it." He warns against the consistency trap: "When you set a consistent schedule and you're constantly having to upload videos that aren't as good as you'd like because you gotta hit 'Oh, this Monday I said I'd upload', that's a dangerous trap. The viewers notice the quality isn't as good and it makes them less likely to watch. I think it hurts your longevity." On the real metric that matters: "A big thing that everyone underestimates, what was your experience with your last video? If people loved the last video of yours that they watched, they're more likely to watch your next one. When people watch your video, you don't want them to go, 'Okay, that was good, but that's enough of you for the day.' What you want is them to go, 'Holy crap, that was crazy! Oh my god, what's that?' and they watch 10 videos. That's how you get high view counts. People watch 10 videos, not one." On thumbnails: "You want it to be simple. When they're scrolling, you want them to instantly understand what you're conveying and feel some type of emotion. Make it so interesting, or spike their curiosity so much, that if they don't click it, they'll wonder before they go to bed what happened?" He gives an example: "If you uploaded 'I rode a skateboard with 1,000 other people on it', and people are falling off the side, it's about to go off a big ramp if you don't click that, you're gonna be so curious. Later in the day, when you're daydreaming, you'll think, 'What happened to those 1,000 people on that skateboard?' That's the mindset you should have when making thumbnails." On knowledge being the only barrier: "It's all knowledge. It really is. I could start a new channel tomorrow without using my face or my voice, without ever promoting it, and in six months have 20 million subscribers. I just could. It's purely knowledge. If you knew what I knew, you could get 10 million subscribers no matter where you are right now within six months." He addresses the skeptics: "90% of the people watching don't agree with that. Everyone has excuses. 'Nah, YouTube just doesn't work like that, Jimmy.' But I mentor a lot of people. I see it all the time. It is possible. It is simply knowledge. The second you accept that it is knowledge and you start your journey of learning figuring out what makes a good video, what does my audience want, how can I elevate and then you take that knowledge and just assume 'I will never understand what the perfect video is' and every single day be devoted to learning and improving as much as possible there you go." On money not being the barrier: "There are tons of viral ideas that don't require money. It does not require money to go viral. One of my most-viewed videos was spending 24 hours in a desert, we just grabbed a tent and some stuff and went to the desert. It got 60-70 million views. People say, 'I could be MrBeast if I had money.' A, I didn't start off with money; I was poor, I had no money. It took me seven years just to buy a camera saving up from YouTube. And B, some of our most-viewed videos literally anyone can do." On why no one will outwork him: "No one's ever gonna do what I do better than me. It's just not humanly possible. I reinvest every penny I make. I work every hour I'm awake. I devote every atom in my brain to solving this. I hire the best people on the planet. I've been doing this for 14 years. And I think in decades, not years. I'm gonna be doing this for another 20-30 years. If I thought someone was doing better than me, I'd just start sleeping less so I could work even more." But he doesn't recommend it: "I don't have a life. I don't have work-life balance. My personality, my soul, my being is making the best videos possible. That is why I exist on this planet. And I don't recommend it. You should have work-life balance. You should not devote your entire life to this one thing. I have a mental breakdown every other week because I push myself so hard. I don't recommend it." The only question that matters: "Subscribers don't matter. Views don't matter. I mean, they do. But everything you want as a creator comes from making the best videos possible and thumbnails. The video part's the hard part. Ask: 'How can I make my videos better?' Do that every single day for years. And then you'll probably get views."

Oh My God!!! 😱 Corbell Threatened to Release Hundreds of UFO Files, Which Were Also Given to Hundreds of Journalists! And Then He Backed Down! One Problem: It Never Happened I found the Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell clip I wanted to show you. But First: The claims... "Jeremy Corbell threatened to release hundreds of UFO files." ~Red Panda Koala And... "Jeremy Corbell says hundreds of journalists have been given the secret UFO files that will be released, if..." ~Red Panda Koala Full (inaccurate, IMO) claims, and the actual transcripts, are here: ⬇️⬇️⬇️ The following interview was uploaded several days after Corbell made those early-June comments that are now going viral, and for which he's getting a lot of hate over. This is a more complete explanation of the situation. Andy, forgive me for uploading such a long clip. I know this won't answer every question but it should educate folks on what was said. Or what was meant. And I'm sure it will calm the haters. 🥴 ~ Andy (That UFO Podcast): In 'Sleeping Dog,' you get your laptop out towards the end of the documentary. You know, dramatic, you dig some sh*t up. You've got a pen drive, you open it, and you see these files. And I'm sure, like many folks, I'm pausing frantically, reading all these names of files. I can just see the bottom of and the top. And I'm looking around your laptop screen. "And we begin to see clips of those videos. Now, those came out within the second release from the war dot gov, UFOs. Can you, first of all, clear up for me...we heard you had 46 videos that you were going to release." Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell: "No, who said that?" Andy: "So, generally, online, there was 46 videos were coming out. I think 52 came out. This is what I want cleared up, though. You know about those 52 videos that came out. How many came from you? Because the feeling online - and this even was for me - was, Jeremy's got his documentary, he showed what's going to come, and then within a couple of weeks we had the second drop, and bang, here's all these videos. Can you just clear up how many videos that were dropped, came from your end, and what's the story there?" Corbell: "Zero came from my end. Zero. Those are government-filmed UAP. They were provoked to release them by a variety of ways. George Knapp and I gave a multitude of lists of UAP filmed by our military, to Congress. They validated, they vetted, they found out where they were. We told them where they are, we had eyes on them, making sure they're not going to be deleted. "This is something we've acquired over decades, George and myself. You know, the newer ones are kind of the the best, I would say. You know, better hardware than, let's say, 15 years ago. But...so none of them came from us. That...it is government-filmed footage. "We identified the file names and file structures and location of holdings, gave that to Congress, and it's not just the 46. It actually surprised me when Rep. Anna Paulina Luna put out, and it was a gangster move. Rep. Luna put out a public letter to Pete Hegseth saying, 'Here are 46 files that we want.' "They didn't mention...it's actually 14 Air Force files that we've identified - even to the Department of Justice - that there's a bottleneck in UAP reporting within our own government. Remember 'Immaculate Constellation,' the idea of like, siphoning off the best footage. Well, George and I were able to identify that in Central Command, that there was a nexus point where there was a bottleneck, and the best UAP footage and evidence was being siphoned off even before it got to AARO. "Even our, you know, who were kind of enemies at a time, we informed AARO that there's this bottleneck, and if you want to find out where the good sh*t's going, we told them where. So, when you say 46 videos, 52 videos. Bro, there are probably hundreds of thousands. Very little ever get to reporters like George and myself, and it takes years for us to vet and verify. "And then, you know, anybody that leaks videos to journalists - if you consider them sources- they're at risk, you know, when journalists publish them. So, I have always been fighting. And then people yell at me, and they're like, 'It's not good enough, and the frame rates aren't right.' And all this weird sh*t. They're just baiting to try to like, dig in and try to investigate sources. It's all a charade. Everything with that online is a charade. They're just trying to entrap people. "So what we do, is we take the heat and we just keep doing the reporting. We gave Congress way more than 46 file structures, file names with locations, with evidence they exist. But we don't possess anything. We can't, legally. We can obtain and release. I'm familiar with, have access from time-to-time, too. "You know, you have to be really smart as a journalist on what your rights are. That's why I have a federal lawyer, which you learned in the movie is Chuck McCullough. Kind of one of the best federal lawyers you could have, now that I've admitted it, right?" (McCullough was the first Intelligence Community Inspector General, represented David Grusch, and is HIGHLY respected. The fact that he's representing Corbell is something that's lost on the Corbell haters.) Corbell: "So, basically, those are the protocols. Our government has hundreds of thousands, in full-motion video, which is like a layered, sensor system from satellite platforms, as an example, which you've never seen, no one's ever seen. With incredible fidelity, showing all-domain UAP coming from space-to-air-to-sea and back out, from sea-to-air-to space. That's fact. I know that for a fact. I have been witness to a lot of that information. "But I did not give anything to Congress except file names, and they verified, vetted, and put out a public letter for 46. They kept the other ones private, which I think was smart. Because sometimes even just the the file names themselves, you know, could be an issue for 100 reasons. Does that clarify what you're asking?" Andy: "100% And even in the Discord, when that drop happened, everyone's Discords and stuff were going crazy. People were asking, 'Are these the videos that Corbell and Knapp have provided?' So there has been this idea, from some, that you guys gave them the videos. But what you've given was the locations, how to get them, where they were." Corbell: "The exact file names and locations, with verifiable proof that they do exist, that they did exist upon delivery, of those titles. You know. I'm not gonna just... You know, and also, what we get, when they ask for them, from Pete Hegseth and Department of War, is when they do release them, which they were provoked to do. That's the thing. "And they're not all out. The 46, just read the file names that were in that list, and then look at what was released. They are not all out. So think about that. They give you the underhanded pitch, the bottom of the barrel. And George Knapp and I, as I have said, we're gonna continue our reporting. "But it's kind of like a warning shot. You're like, here's what is in the hands of over 100 journalists, including podcasters now. Meaning they they can get access if they need. That's a whole process. But, essentially, we're telling them what journalists have. So what you can do is get in front of it and release the full, original files. And then nobody argues about frame rates, nobody goes after sources. "That's the way it should work because the onus is on the United States government because they themselves have said that we are going to be transparent about this, we're gonna be putting out all this information. Good, good. "So you've started, and it was total happenstance that the first release was on the premiere of 'Sleeping Dog' date, In in the sense that, I had no idea they were going to do that. It's kind of hilarious. But, you know, we did inform them before about the movie and that we're gonna, you know, do our journalism. So, you do the math." Andy: "Yeah, no, that's useful. And can we just confirm, I am not one of the podcasters who has those files before I am raided, or the CIA get in touch." Corbell: "Nobody has the files. You know, George and I have been sure to back up our work and provide an ability, if anything goes sideways, that, you know, the American public gets what they need. You know, it's very simple, dude. It's not like cloak and dagger. "You have to make sure that when you're reporting on things of national-security concern, that you don't damage national security, A number one. I'm an American, I live here, I love my country. Like, straight up. But also, you put things in place so that you're not the only one who's been able to see or have access, at time. And that's what we did. "We did that to protect sources, whistleblowers, and the information itself getting out to people. I don't possess anything, Andy. Of course, you don't. You're a foreign journalist to me. I'm sorry, but that that's another aspect to it. Is that, even though we have Five-Eyes Alliance, we've never hung out and had a beer, dude." Andy: "Not yet." Corbell: "[Laughs] I hope to." Andy: "Next year's Contact [in the Desert], maybe. So those 100 journalists... Because so many folks got in touch with me to ask..." Corbell: "100-plus." Andy: "100-plus, journalists and podcasters. It's not like you've sent out a special-edition pen drive and went, 'Here's all the files, if something happens.' But there are ways and means that if something did happen to yourself and/or George (Corbell: "Oh yeah"), these folks can access this material?" Corbell: "Yeah. I said it in Episode 60 of Weaponized, right? So we have, as journalists, we have covered and made sure the American public will never be, you know, the American public will never stay in the dark about what we've reported on or what we have to report on. But, you know, we have to go slow, we have to vet everything. It's just an insurance thing that that people would have instantaneous access. "I don't want that, either. Like, I don't want...you can't tell your friends, somebody, without telling your enemies. You know, and I don't...I would rather that we just continue doing our journalism under First Amendment, in America, without any interruption, in any way, that is illegal. And that's what's been happening. You know, the influence campaigns and the threats and that kind of thing. "So, yeah, man, I don't know how far we wanna go into that, but just base-level, we have made sure to protect the information that George Knapp and I have obtained over the decades. We don't hold in possession of anything, but at the same time, we've democratized the way that information will get out if we're stopped in any way, and that's just how it is." Andy: "And you guys are in full control of that, that no one can go rogue that has the information, or, you know, 'Ah, f**k Jeremy and George. I can access this. I'm gonna go off and find.' No, you guys are in complete control of that?" Corbell: "No, because that's a national-security issue because the nature of any information that comes to us in this realm. But additionally, that's not the right way to go about... I don't wanna go too deep into this, but that's not the right way that journalists operate, right? Is, you don't just haphazardly... So, no. Is that okay? Just end with no?" Andy: "You can end with 'no' on that one. It might come back round in one of these other answers to a different question." Corbell: "Okay, yeah."

Oh My God!!! 😱 Corbell Threatened to Release Hundreds of UFO Files, Which Were Also Given to Hundreds of Journalists! And Then He Backed Down! One Problem: It Never Happened I found the Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell clip I wanted to show you. But First: The claims... "Jeremy Corbell threatened to release hundreds of UFO files." ~Red Panda Koala And... "Jeremy Corbell says hundreds of journalists have been given the secret UFO files that will be released, if..." ~Red Panda Koala Full (inaccurate, IMO) claims, and the actual transcripts, are here: ⬇️⬇️⬇️ The following interview was uploaded several days after Corbell made those early-June comments that are now going viral, and for which he's getting a lot of hate over. This is a more complete explanation of the situation. Andy, forgive me for uploading such a long clip. I know this won't answer every question but it should educate folks on what was said. Or what was meant. And I'm sure it will calm the haters. 🥴 ~ Andy (That UFO Podcast): In 'Sleeping Dog,' you get your laptop out towards the end of the documentary. You know, dramatic, you dig some sh*t up. You've got a pen drive, you open it, and you see these files. And I'm sure, like many folks, I'm pausing frantically, reading all these names of files. I can just see the bottom of and the top. And I'm looking around your laptop screen. "And we begin to see clips of those videos. Now, those came out within the second release from the war dot gov, UFOs. Can you, first of all, clear up for me...we heard you had 46 videos that you were going to release." Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell: "No, who said that?" Andy: "So, generally, online, there was 46 videos were coming out. I think 52 came out. This is what I want cleared up, though. You know about those 52 videos that came out. How many came from you? Because the feeling online - and this even was for me - was, Jeremy's got his documentary, he showed what's going to come, and then within a couple of weeks we had the second drop, and bang, here's all these videos. Can you just clear up how many videos that were dropped, came from your end, and what's the story there?" Corbell: "Zero came from my end. Zero. Those are government-filmed UAP. They were provoked to release them by a variety of ways. George Knapp and I gave a multitude of lists of UAP filmed by our military, to Congress. They validated, they vetted, they found out where they were. We told them where they are, we had eyes on them, making sure they're not going to be deleted. "This is something we've acquired over decades, George and myself. You know, the newer ones are kind of the the best, I would say. You know, better hardware than, let's say, 15 years ago. But...so none of them came from us. That...it is government-filmed footage. "We identified the file names and file structures and location of holdings, gave that to Congress, and it's not just the 46. It actually surprised me when Rep. Anna Paulina Luna put out, and it was a gangster move. Rep. Luna put out a public letter to Pete Hegseth saying, 'Here are 46 files that we want.' "They didn't mention...it's actually 14 Air Force files that we've identified - even to the Department of Justice - that there's a bottleneck in UAP reporting within our own government. Remember 'Immaculate Constellation,' the idea of like, siphoning off the best footage. Well, George and I were able to identify that in Central Command, that there was a nexus point where there was a bottleneck, and the best UAP footage and evidence was being siphoned off even before it got to AARO. "Even our, you know, who were kind of enemies at a time, we informed AARO that there's this bottleneck, and if you want to find out where the good sh*t's going, we told them where. So, when you say 46 videos, 52 videos. Bro, there are probably hundreds of thousands. Very little ever get to reporters like George and myself, and it takes years for us to vet and verify. "And then, you know, anybody that leaks videos to journalists - if you consider them sources- they're at risk, you know, when journalists publish them. So, I have always been fighting. And then people yell at me, and they're like, 'It's not good enough, and the frame rates aren't right.' And all this weird sh*t. They're just baiting to try to like, dig in and try to investigate sources. It's all a charade. Everything with that online is a charade. They're just trying to entrap people. "So what we do, is we take the heat and we just keep doing the reporting. We gave Congress way more than 46 file structures, file names with locations, with evidence they exist. But we don't possess anything. We can't, legally. We can obtain and release. I'm familiar with, have access from time-to-time, too. "You know, you have to be really smart as a journalist on what your rights are. That's why I have a federal lawyer, which you learned in the movie is Chuck McCullough. Kind of one of the best federal lawyers you could have, now that I've admitted it, right?" (McCullough was the first Intelligence Community Inspector General, represented David Grusch, and is HIGHLY respected. The fact that he's representing Corbell is something that's lost on the Corbell haters.) Corbell: "So, basically, those are the protocols. Our government has hundreds of thousands, in full-motion video, which is like a layered, sensor system from satellite platforms, as an example, which you've never seen, no one's ever seen. With incredible fidelity, showing all-domain UAP coming from space-to-air-to-sea and back out, from sea-to-air-to space. That's fact. I know that for a fact. I have been witness to a lot of that information. "But I did not give anything to Congress except file names, and they verified, vetted, and put out a public letter for 46. They kept the other ones private, which I think was smart. Because sometimes even just the the file names themselves, you know, could be an issue for 100 reasons. Does that clarify what you're asking?" Andy: "100% And even in the Discord, when that drop happened, everyone's Discords and stuff were going crazy. People were asking, 'Are these the videos that Corbell and Knapp have provided?' So there has been this idea, from some, that you guys gave them the videos. But what you've given was the locations, how to get them, where they were." Corbell: "The exact file names and locations, with verifiable proof that they do exist, that they did exist upon delivery, of those titles. You know. I'm not gonna just... You know, and also, what we get, when they ask for them, from Pete Hegseth and Department of War, is when they do release them, which they were provoked to do. That's the thing. "And they're not all out. The 46, just read the file names that were in that list, and then look at what was released. They are not all out. So think about that. They give you the underhanded pitch, the bottom of the barrel. And George Knapp and I, as I have said, we're gonna continue our reporting. "But it's kind of like a warning shot. You're like, here's what is in the hands of over 100 journalists, including podcasters now. Meaning they they can get access if they need. That's a whole process. But, essentially, we're telling them what journalists have. So what you can do is get in front of it and release the full, original files.

Every night as a kid, Kobe Bryant fell asleep visualizing basketball. He’d see himself scoring 10 straight. Then 20. Then 30. “But in the dream, why would you ever interrupt that?” “So you keep dreaming.” “Before I go to sleep, I’m at 120 points.” In 2006, he scored 81. Kobe spent an hour at USC explaining what Mamba Mentality really means: He was born to play. "I started playing at like 2 years old." "My father wasn't one of these fathers that was like: you're going to play basketball. It was just I was around the game a lot and I gravitated to the ball." "I was completely geeking out about the smell of the ball. The way it sounds when it hits concrete versus how it hits a parquet floor." "The sound of the nets. The different material of the nets." "There's certain basketball hoops where the rim sits slightly above the backboard. I was geeking out if I got into a gym where they were completely parallel." "Little shit like that would freak me out." "To answer your question, I was born to do this thing, man. And I did it non-stop all day long from the age of 2 to when I retired." He explains how to know if you've found your thing. "That's the trick, isn't it? Finding what you love to do." "We talk about hard work all the time. And it's like, if you got to get up every single morning and remind yourself how hard you need to work, you probably need to choose a different profession." "That shouldn't be there." "I wake up in the morning excited to get to it. If I'm not training, I'm missing it. If I'm not watching a game of basketball, I miss it." "There's no place I'd rather be." "If you have that feeling, then you're truly doing what God has put you on this earth to do." He explains the 81-point game. "When you grow up downloading that into your brain over and over and over..." "That summer, I made 1000 shots a day. 1000. On top of weight training and conditioning." "And they weren't just shots. They were shots that you saw in that game." "Coming out of the corner. Going to the pinch post. Footwork in the post. Coming off the screen." "It was very specific." "So when you download that into your system and you go out on the court, you're just executing things that you've done thousands of times before." "And you have that dream." "Then that becomes possible." He explains why he doesn't reinvent. "Everything's been not choreographed, but it's been practiced so many times that it's second nature." "Why reinvent it?" "I don't understand that. You go out and play the game and you're just trying to create something new. No." "This is what I do. This is what I do extremely well." "You're going to have to stop me from doing that. And if you do stop me from doing that, I have a counter to that." "Done." He explains the pain. "To be honest, I wasn't even thinking about the game." "My knee was hurting so much. I didn't know then, but I had a flap of cartilage stuck in my joint line." "My mind was really trying to go to a place where I don't feel that pain." "The game started. And because of that, I was just in a different space." "I wasn't worried about what was to come. I wasn't worried about what just happened. I was just here." "When you're just there in the moment, your focus is heightened because nothing else matters." Pete Carroll asked the hard question. "What was it like for you to play with people that weren't as gritty as you were?" Kobe's response. "I'd kill them. I'd bury them." "The kind of culture that the Laker organization stood for, winning championships, is not tolerated." "You're going to show up to play. And you're going to lollygag through this scrimmage, through this drill? I'm going to beat you." "I'm going to let you know I beat you." "I'm going to want you to reconsider your professional life choice." "People will say: okay, that doesn't make a great teammate." "Well, I'm not here to be a great teammate. I'm here to help you win championships." "So it's different." He explains practice. "As a leader of a team, it's your responsibility to elevate the rest of the guys." "What people tend to get stuck on is saying: the way to make players better is to pass them the ball when they're open." "That's a very trivial way to look at things." "You have to get them emotionally to want to be better. You have to get them to an emotional space where they wake up every morning driven to be the best version of themselves." "How do you do that?" "In practice for me, it was a chance to drive them, to challenge them." "You have to know your teammates. Because then you know what nerve to touch." "Some guys, it's like: okay, come on, we can do this. That'll get them going." "Other guys, no. You got to figure out what button to push." He gives an example. "Pau was always Spain." "If I tell him how they lost in the gold medal to us and how they're going to lose again, how I'm going to beat your ass in practice just like I beat you in the gold medal game." "Oh. He would hate that. He would hate that." "But that's what practice was. You have to drive them." "If practice is more intense and harder than a game seven will be, then a game seven will be easy." "But if it's not, then that's when teams start folding and capitulating." He explains standards. "If I got to fight to get you in the gym, that's a problem. That's a problem." "You want players that are gym rats. Players that want to be in the gym, that want to work." "Then from there, you build on top of that." "But if you're lazy, man, I don't want to talk to you. I don't want to deal with you. You make me feel dumber." "You're going to lower my level. I don't think so." "You can go over there. There's plenty of teams where you'll fit right in." He explains loyalty. The Lakers offered to trade him to a contending team. His response. "We've known each other for a very long time. I'm questioning myself because I'm wondering what about me makes you think I would jump ship." "We don't do that." "As a leader, you got to be able to take the good with the bad." "You can't just because the ship's sinking all of a sudden jump off and swim to another. You don't do that." "If you can win championships in front of everybody, then you could miss the playoffs in front of everybody." "You got to be able to take both sides of it." "If you're doing something that's easy, you might want to reconsider what you're doing." He explains what he wishes he knew earlier. "Understanding empathy and compassion." "As a young kid when I came in the league, it was like: I'm driving this way and either you're going to be on the train or be on the track." "There was no such thing as understanding that people have lives outside of the game. Which apparently I did not." "If I understood that at an early age, then it helps me as a leader to communicate better." "Getting to know people on a personal level. What are their fears. What are their insecurities. What are their dreams and ambitions." "When you come to understand that about a person, then you can help them reach the best version of themselves." "I wish I'd known that earlier." He explains how he teaches his daughter. "My daughter said: Dad, can you teach me how to play basketball? I want to be better than you." "All right, cool. Let's start with 15 minutes a day." "For 15 minutes a day, we just stood right in front of the hoop and just shot. Right under the hoop. We didn't move around. We didn't do any dribbling." "Just 15 minutes a day just shoot here." "You do that for a month and a half. Then next month, you step back. Then next month, you step back again. Then you start working on dribbling." "Through actionable things is how we teach our children." "If it becomes a part of their process in sports, it'll become a part of their process in life as well." He explains dreams. "I just dream. I have dreams." "Dreams should be pure." "A lot of times when we're born into this world, we actually wind up going backwards." "The more we mature, the more responsible our dreams become. The more governors we put on ourselves and our ability to dream and to reimagine." "It's always a fight for us to make sure that our dreams always stay pure." "It's not a matter of pushing beyond your limitations or expectations." "It's really a matter of protecting your dreams. Protecting your imagination." "That's really the key." "When you do that, then the world just seems limitless."

"If you're doing something that's easy, you might want to reconsider what you're doing." He explains what he wishes he knew earlier. "Understanding empathy and compassion." "As a young kid when I came in the league, it was like: I'm driving this way and either you're going to be on the train or be on the track." "There was no such thing as understanding that people have lives outside of the game. Which apparently I did not." "If I understood that at an early age, then it helps me as a leader to communicate better." "Getting to know people on a personal level. What are their fears. What are their insecurities. What are their dreams and ambitions." "When you come to understand that about a person, then you can help them reach the best version of themselves." "I wish I'd known that earlier." He explains how he teaches his daughter. "My daughter said: Dad, can you teach me how to play basketball? I want to be better than you." "All right, cool. Let's start with 15 minutes a day." "For 15 minutes a day, we just stood right in front of the hoop and just shot. Right under the hoop. We didn't move around. We didn't do any dribbling." "Just 15 minutes a day just shoot here." "You do that for a month and a half. Then next month, you step back. Then next month, you step back again. Then you start working on dribbling." "Through actionable things is how we teach our children." "If it becomes a part of their process in sports, it'll become a part of their process in life as well." He explains dreams. "I just dream. I have dreams." "Dreams should be pure." "A lot of times when we're born into this world, we actually wind up going backwards." "The more we mature, the more responsible our dreams become. The more governors we put on ourselves and our ability to dream and to reimagine." "It's always a fight for us to make sure that our dreams always stay pure." "It's not a matter of pushing beyond your limitations or expectations." "It's really a matter of protecting your dreams. Protecting your imagination." "That's really the key." "When you do that, then the world just seems limitless."

Check out our latest #Earth2 #creation the #MotorwayMarauder🌍✌️From #ConceptArt to #gameready, gives me #MadMax & #Terminator vibes - love it! Some #IMPORTANT things to remember about #Earth2 #drops leading up to #E2V1👇 1⃣Acquiring #skins is completely optional 2⃣ Notably, the #skins we drop leading up to the #E2V1 release will more likely have a ‘Limited Supply’, something that rewards our early supporters with increased rarity. These Limited Supply drops will become less frequent in the future being replaced with drops of unlimited supply but restricted availability requiring Players to wait for a skin to become available in the skin store or hope to acquire it via game play inside #E2V1 3⃣ Our goal is not to have these early #skin drops sell out during their maiden release, but rather provide an opportunity for our early supporters to secure skins they like at a discounted price with the welcoming guarantee of an all time Limited Supply. 4⃣ Most of the early #skin drops will naturally allow #Players to resell them, but importantly many will also be assigned with a once ever discount rate. #Skins that have Future Price Reduction assigned with “No” means that if the #skin does not sell out on its maiden drop and subsequently gets listed in store again at a future date, #Earth2 will never resell that #skin at any discounted rate. 5⃣ #Earth2 is building a modular clothing system, meaning that most items of clothing, especially if sold separately, will be interchangeable on avatars making them more useful and giving the #Player more ways to mix up their outfits, look the part & express themselves. 6⃣ The version of the skin you see in store is the base version you receive with the skin, however, there will also be opportunities to tailor outfits in game allowing for the adjustment in fabrics, prints, colours and more (be prepared for a little legwork though, unless you want to take your clothing items to another #Player who specialises in tailoring). 7⃣ #Earth2 is proud to have uniquely designed the #skins you listed in our store & it is important to remember that these #skins are the end result of a long and stringent internal character pipeline we have developed. Each skin starts from concept art which is reviewed and iterated on numerous times before being approved. Once approval is given, it is handed to our 3D modelling team for sculpting into high poly, then low poly, while receiving numerous reviews and adhering to our pipeline protocols. When the low poly version is finished, the 3D team then finishes with UV mapping and texture baking and runs their own QA process. Once the entire 3D sculpting process is approved, the models enter the skinning, rigging and weight painting process and are then passed to the animation team for further testing with various animations and another set of QA such as minimising clipping and identifying any other potential flaws in the model. The model then needs to go through the final process with a game developer to ensure it passed the final tests and is game ready for #E2V1. 8⃣ The above steps only represent a light explanation of our character and clothing pipeline, but as you can see we’re not simply selling static concept art images or a high poly 3D model that lacks any kind of optimisations resulting in little chance of it ever being game ready in its advertised state - there is a lot of work that takes place in order to get these skins to the stage our #Players see them in the video footage. Each skin sold helps support different parts of the development of Earth 2 providing us with new opportunities to further expand our team, speed up development and keep stepping closer to our short and long term goals for #E2V1 and #Earth2. 9⃣ We understand that fashion will become a big part of the #Metaverse, but we want to remind people that while some #Players may decide to set rules for certain skins being required for access or a ticket to entry under certain circumstances, from #Earth2’s perspective these skins are for cosmetic purposes only. 🔟 These skin drops also give #Earth2 the chance to show off our ability and versatility in avatar creation and accessories so even if you’re not keen on picking up a skin, remember to have fun and simply enjoy the progress! Also take heart every time you see a #skindrop, if the #E2V1 pre-alpha was not launching this year I wouldn't be dropping skins. We want to have at least some diversity for #avatars inside #E2V1 from the early stages! #Earth2 #Metaverse #Skins #Fashion #Collectibles #3DWorld #WIP #prealpha2024

Loneliness On The Path & Transcending The Matrix Many of us can relate to the sense and experience of feeling alone as we shed the matrix-cultural social programming and sincerely start to seek truth. As we embark on the path, we start to learn, often remember, realize, and begin to see a deeper reality within and without us. This new sight is contrary to what the masses believe in and how they live their lives. It is also opposed to whatever we found to be true at first. But there was a splinter in the mind - a seed deep within that inspired us to question what we've been told and taught most often after a period of intense suffering responding to the yearning of the soul's call to awaken. It pushed us to answer the call and step into the unknown, and down the rabbit hole we tumble. As we progress on our path, going through our trials initiations and process of disillusionment, truth starts to become stranger than fiction. We can no longer relate to pleasures, social interactions, and enjoyments we may have engaged in enthusiastically in the past. Goals, ambitions, and desires we once had and were very attached to start to feel completely foreign to us. We realize that most of our so-called needs and desires, wants, including group and tribal identifications, were based on lies, wounds, and matrix programs, which we mistook stemming from our true self. They do not lead us to nor reflect true fulfillment joy, and love - the pure state of our soul hidden deep within us beyond the ego personality - our unique soul embodied individuality centered in the Divine. We start to see through appearances and all the pretense - the mechanical unconscious social interactions with the unconscious feeding mechanisms between people - emotionally, energetically sexually - where almost everyone is a copy of a copy sleepwalking and dreaming of being awake. We realize how little of real individuality and authenticity there is in the world, and how people mistake their conditioned and programmed ego personality for authenticity and also mistake all kinds of feelings, desires, and cravings within them for the soul being. All of which we have done in the past as well to varying degrees and still may do. We realize how little of true love there is. If we are honest with ourselves, we also question what love truly is and if we have really ever experienced it. The more we uncover within us and work through our shadow aspects, mechanical behavior, wounds, and traumas, the more we see all that in others. As the masks fall away, we start to see the unseen and a whole new world - the real world opens up. At first this view is not pleasant at all, and we may question our sanity, feelings of despair, depression, shame, guilt, anger, sadness, and loneliness come up everything that we have been hiding and have suppressed for lifetimes starts to come to the surface the darkness within and without is being made conscious as we descend into the underworld. The higher we want to rise, the deeper we need to go, The more light we possess, the more darkness we uncover. It is the esoteric law of descent and ascent at the same time. If we are sincere in our process, we start to realize thatwe cannot blame others or anything externally anymore. We are asked to take full self responsibility with radical self-honesty. The more we awaken, the more we are also confronted with the illusion of control, the ego likes to cling to. There is something else, a higher divine force that is pulling us out of inertia and sleep, asking us to surrender to it while, at the same time, the lower forces of nature want to keep us chained to our past, our wounds, programs, and identifications trapped in the victim-blame cycle. The occult adverse forces tag into our lower nature using temptations, egohooks and thought injections targeting our blind spots and wounds to keep us plugged into the matrix. Ultimately, we realize that the battle is and always has been through us. We then also start to see and sense the mighty occult hyperdimensional forces beyond our five sensory cognition that manipulate not only us but all people like puppets with strings attached. We realize that there is something else hidden from the mind of ordinary consciousness that controls and manipulates human beings from occult realms - something that feeds on humanity and keeps us in a frequency prison of fear and survival-based egoic service to self-consciousness. We also start to see the wounds and traumas people carry masked and armored under a thick social mask disconnected from their bodies. In fact, we begin to see how most people suffer deep inside but don't know that they are suffering for all the attention and energy is used to escape it by dissociation and then externalizing or suppressing their pain to avoid the discomfort of feeling it within. Like unconscious drug addicts, most people are constantly looking for a fix, trying to fill a bottomless hole in, always looking for love, fulfillment, and happiness externally- just like we have done in our unconscious sleeping state, dreaming of being awake. We then start to encounter humans who don't seem to have a soul but are empty shells occupied by something else. The eyes always give it away - all of which becomes more obvious as we cleanse our perception by internal work. We don't get fooled by appearances anymore. We begin to see via inner vision and our guidance comes more and more from within, not influenced by the group hive mind or the conditioned mind with all its fragmented thought loops. We let go of comparison, ambition and competition and surrender to our soul's calling to unite with the Divine. However, not only do we experience isolation and loneliness pulling back more and more from exterior life we also become subject to the projections and attacks of people still wandering in the wilderness of the collective matrix program. We realize that longtime friends and even family members or our spouse and partner are not at all who we thought they were - that these connections were often based on the illusion of love, trauma bonds, and social programming. We realize how we mistook love for all kinds of behaviors, feelings, and things that are not love but were based on wounds and unconscious feeding mechanisms. When we tell others about our discoveries and realizations we are most often met with ridicule made fun of or even attacked and shamed. We are being told that we are negative, crazy and live in fear or engage in fear-mongering-when, in fact, this reaction is their unconscious fear of the truth projected onto us. It is their false mechanical ego personality trying to protect itself from disillusionment with occult forces, working through them, using them as unconscious matrix agents and attempting to keep us from awakening, speaking truth, and anchoring the divine force. Hence, we also realize that we cannot possibly take anything personally anymore because it is not them doing anything. Moreover, we also recognize that these attacks and interferences serve a teaching function in the bigger picture of the evolution of consciousness and in the process of our unique soul evolution for all there is are lessons. These realizations and confronting the lies we've been telling ourselves do indeed lead to disillusionment - a moral bankruptcy. It's the necessary death everyone has to go through to be reborn in the true self. It is the way out of the matrix. Yet this loneliness we experience and the inability to fit in anywhere has its purpose, including the suffering we experience. If we keep on the track with faith and trust, learning our lessons with sincerity, patience, humility, and courage, it will lead us to true love, real companionship, and a conscious connection with Spirit as we find our way back home, reuniting with the Divine. We start to experience magical positive synchronicities and there is help and support of the divine force that responds to our call and supports and guides us in unexpected ways. But we can only perceive this guidance if we get out of the tunnel vision of ego identification and out of our heads. Doors open where there have been no doors before. Out of the dark, we emerge into the light, and we realize and experience on an embodied level—not merely philosophically or intellectually—that we were never alone but under a spell of separation from all that is, as we experience and perceive the Divine in all. Godspeed. Bernhard Guenther “We must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self. It is a way of bitter suffering. But then our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that it is Creator, the indivisible. And suddenly, we find ourselves in the midst of the world, yet undisturbed by its multiplicity, for our innermost soul we know ourselves to be one with all being.” - Hermann Hesse --------------------- Written and narrated by Bernhard Guenther Video and audio editing by Victor Fontane

Zionists Are Freaking Out About Losing Control Of The Narrative Former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz made some very revealing remarks during an appearance at the Jewish Federations of North America General Assembly on Sunday, expressing frustration with the way younger Jews are dismissing pro-Israel arguments because of the carnage they’ve seen in Gaza. “We are now wrestling with a new I think generational divide here, and I think that’s particularly true in that social media is now our source of media,” Hurwitz said. “It used to be that the news you got in America was American media, and it was pretty mainstream; you know it generally didn’t express extreme anti-Israel views. You had to go to a pretty weird bookstore to find global media and fringe media. But today we have social media, which is the global medium; its algorithms are shaped by billions of people worldwide who don’t really love Jews. So while in the 1990s a young person probably wasn’t going to find Al Jazeera or someone like Nick Fuentes, today those media outlets find them; they find them on their phones.” “It’s also this increasingly post-literate media; less and less text, more and more videos,” Hurwitz continued. “So you have TikTok just smashing our young people’s brains all day long with video of carnage in Gaza. And this is why so many of us cannot have a sane conversation with younger Jews, because anything that we try to say to them, they are hearing it through this wall of carnage. So I want to give data and information and facts and arguments, and they are just seeing in their minds: carnage. And I sound obscene.” Hurwitz went on to say that Holocaust education has begun backfiring, because it has been giving young people the wrong impression that genocide is always bad. “And you know I think unfortunately, the very smart bet that we made on Holocaust education to serve as anti-semitism education in this new media environment, I think that is beginning to break down a little bit because, you know, Holocaust education is absolutely essential, but I think it may be confusing some of our young people about antisemitism,” Hurwitz said. “Because they learn about big, strong Nazis hurting weak, emaciated Jews, and they think oh, antisemitism is like anti-black racism, right? Powerful white people against powerless black people. So, when on TikTok all day long, they see powerful Israelis hurting weak, skinny Palestinians, it’s not surprising that they think, Oh, I know the lesson of the Holocaust is you fight Israel. You fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people.” Hoo boy. Lots to unpack here. It’s just so fascinating to see a former White House speechwriter making so many of the points that anti-Zionists have been making for years, but taking the exact opposite meaning from them: - The mainstream legacy media has always hidden anti-Israel views from the public — and that was a good thing. - Social media has now given Palestinians the ability to expose the truth about Israel’s abuses — and that’s a bad thing. - People aren’t falling for the Zionist spin and narrative-diddling anymore because they’ve seen the carnage in Gaza with their own eyes — and that’s a problem. - People who learned from Holocaust education that genocide is wrong have been applying those same lessons to the genocide in Gaza — and this means they’re “confused”. Hurwitz isn’t denying Israel’s abuses or framing its genocidal atrocities as the problem, she’s just coming right out and saying that people obtaining information and moral clarity about those abuses is the problem. The atrocities aren’t wrong, what’s wrong is people seeing those atrocities and calling them what they are. I love the way she complains that she looks “obscene” for trying to lay out arguments and narratives justifying the Gaza holocaust for people who’ve seen the “wall of carnage” from the genocide. I mean, yes. Yes obviously you’re going to look obscene if you try to tell someone why raw video footage of massacres, mutilated children and emaciated bodies is actually showing something that is justifiable and acceptable. You can’t stand in front of a pile of child corpses justifying their murder and then whine when people ignore your spinmeistering and keep staring at the tiny bodies. That’s like murdering an entire family and then telling the cops, “But you’re not listening to my reasons for killing them!” They’re doing the normal thing while you are being obscene. There’s a viral clip of this tirade going around Twitter and I was curious if Hurwitz had said anything after the video segment ended which might have made what she said sound less horrible, so I went to check out the original video on the Jewish Federations of North America’s Youtube channel, and nope. It didn’t get any better. Hurwitz went on to say that people are wrong to carry the lessons of Holocaust education into opposition to Israel’s genocidal atrocities because the Holocaust was Nazi Germany blaming Jews for all their problems in the same way people think Israel is the source of all the world’s problems today. She then mourned the way western Jews “re-imagined Judaism as a Protestant-style religion” in order to integrate into western society rather than retaining a strong identity that is loyal to the state of Israel. “The problem is, we’re not just a religion,” Hurwitz said. “We’re a nation. Civilization. Tribe. Peoplehood. But most of all we’re a family. And so if you are a young person raised in America who thinks Judaism is a Protestant-style religion, then the seven million Jews in Israel are merely your co-religionists. So my co-religionists, if I look at them and they’re not practicing my religion of social justice and certain prophetic values then what do I have to do with them?” “But that’s a category error,” says Hurwitz. “The seven million people in Israel, they are not my co-religionists, they are my siblings. But I think if you think of them as merely your co-religionists, it’s easy to slide into anti-Zionism. You don’t necessarily have that connection to them.” Hurwitz is saying here that Jews around the world should be loyal to Israel no matter what Israel does, not because that’s the moral or truthful position but because Israel is where their loyalties belong. I don’t know about you, but if my siblings were murdering civilians I would immediately become their enemy. I wouldn’t defend my brother if he was going around shooting children in the head like IDF snipers have been doing in Gaza, in fact I would feel a special responsibility to stop him exactly because he is my brother. Genocide doesn’t magically become acceptable if the perpetrators are your “siblings”, unless you are a sociopath. It’s just incredible how hard Zionists have been freaking out about the way Israel has lost control of the narrative these last two years. More and more often we’re seeing them say the quiet parts out loud as they frantically scramble to manage perceptions and manipulate minds around the world. Many things which used to be hidden are finding their way into the light. Reading by Tim Foley:

But today we have social media, which is the global medium; its algorithms are shaped by billions of people worldwide who don’t really love Jews. So while in the 1990s a young person probably wasn’t going to find Al Jazeera or someone like Nick Fuentes, today those media outlets find them; they find them on their phones.” “It’s also this increasingly post-literate media; less and less text, more and more videos,” Hurwitz continued. “So you have TikTok just smashing our young people’s brains all day long with video of carnage in Gaza. And this is why so many of us cannot have a sane conversation with younger Jews, because anything that we try to say to them, they are hearing it through this wall of carnage. So I want to give data and information and facts and arguments, and they are just seeing in their minds: carnage. And I sound obscene.” Hurwitz went on to say that Holocaust education has begun backfiring, because it has been giving young people the wrong impression that genocide is always bad. “And you know I think unfortunately, the very smart bet that we made on Holocaust education to serve as anti-semitism education in this new media environment, I think that is beginning to break down a little bit because, you know, Holocaust education is absolutely essential, but I think it may be confusing some of our young people about antisemitism,” Hurwitz said. “Because they learn about big, strong Nazis hurting weak, emaciated Jews, and they think oh, antisemitism is like anti-black racism, right? Powerful white people against powerless black people. So, when on TikTok all day long, they see powerful Israelis hurting weak, skinny Palestinians, it’s not surprising that they think, Oh, I know the lesson of the Holocaust is you fight Israel. You fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people.” Hoo boy. Lots to unpack here. It’s just so fascinating to see a former White House speechwriter making so many of the points that anti-Zionists have been making for years, but taking the exact opposite meaning from them: - The mainstream legacy media has always hidden anti-Israel views from the public — and that was a good thing. - Social media has now given Palestinians the ability to expose the truth about Israel’s abuses — and that’s a bad thing. - People aren’t falling for the Zionist spin and narrative-diddling anymore because they’ve seen the carnage in Gaza with their own eyes — and that’s a problem. - People who learned from Holocaust education that genocide is wrong have been applying those same lessons to the genocide in Gaza — and this means they’re “confused”. Hurwitz isn’t denying Israel’s abuses or framing its genocidal atrocities as the problem, she’s just coming right out and saying that people obtaining information and moral clarity about those abuses is the problem. The atrocities aren’t wrong, what’s wrong is people seeing those atrocities and calling them what they are. I love the way she complains that she looks “obscene” for trying to lay out arguments and narratives justifying the Gaza holocaust for people who’ve seen the “wall of carnage” from the genocide. I mean, yes. Yes obviously you’re going to look obscene if you try to tell someone why raw video footage of massacres, mutilated children and emaciated bodies is actually showing something that is justifiable and acceptable. You can’t stand in front of a pile of child corpses justifying their murder and then whine when people ignore your spinmeistering and keep staring at the tiny bodies. That’s like murdering an entire family and then telling the cops, “But you’re not listening to my reasons for killing them!” They’re doing the normal thing while you are being obscene. There’s a viral clip of this tirade going around Twitter and I was curious if Hurwitz had said anything after the video segment ended which might have made what she said sound less horrible, so I went to check out the original video on the Jewish Federations of North America’s Youtube channel, and nope. It didn’t get any better. Hurwitz went on to say that people are wrong to carry the lessons of Holocaust education into opposition to Israel’s genocidal atrocities because the Holocaust was Nazi Germany blaming Jews for all their problems in the same way people think Israel is the source of all the world’s problems today. She then mourned the way western Jews “re-imagined Judaism as a Protestant-style religion” in order to integrate into western society rather than retaining a strong identity that is loyal to the state of Israel. “The problem is, we’re not just a religion,” Hurwitz said. “We’re a nation. Civilization. Tribe. Peoplehood. But most of all we’re a family. And so if you are a young person raised in America who thinks Judaism is a Protestant-style religion, then the seven million Jews in Israel are merely your co-religionists. So my co-religionists, if I look at them and they’re not practicing my religion of social justice and certain prophetic values then what do I have to do with them?” “But that’s a category error,” says Hurwitz. “The seven million people in Israel, they are not my co-religionists, they are my siblings. But I think if you think of them as merely your co-religionists, it’s easy to slide into anti-Zionism. You don’t necessarily have that connection to them.” Hurwitz is saying here that Jews around the world should be loyal to Israel no matter what Israel does, not because that’s the moral or truthful position but because Israel is where their loyalties belong. I don’t know about you, but if my siblings were murdering civilians I would immediately become their enemy. I wouldn’t defend my brother if he was going around shooting children in the head like IDF snipers have been doing in Gaza, in fact I would feel a special responsibility to stop him exactly because he is my brother. Genocide doesn’t magically become acceptable if the perpetrators are your “siblings”, unless you are a sociopath. It’s just incredible how hard Zionists have been freaking out about the way Israel has lost control of the narrative these last two years. More and more often we’re seeing them say the quiet parts out loud as they frantically scramble to manage perceptions and manipulate minds around the world. Many things which used to be hidden are finding their way into the light. Reading by Tim Foley:

🔥 Burlison: UFOs Have Moved from Priority 598 of 600, up to the Top Ten - We Have Requested UFO-Related Files in a Letter to Gabbard, Rubio and Hegseth 🔥 Rep. Eric Burlison: "This is what I was told last week. They (people in the Trump administration who have investigated UAP) said, 'Congressman, prior to last week, and the President's [Truth Social post on UFOs], this was probably,' and I think this was just a random number, but they said, 'number 598 out of the 600 priorities that we had. But now it's in the top 10. "So...it's clear to me, and having met the new staff that have been sourced to this, to dedicate to this topic, and these are serious scientists and investigators, I think that that we're gonna see a lot of movement." (I'd love to know who these scientists and investigators are, and I hope they are not connected to the UFO subject. We need fresh voices.) Leslie Kean: "What are the next steps that need to happen? So [Trump] has put this message out, but does he have to issue an Executive Order (EO)? What kind of steps need to be made to formalize it more and to actually make it start, and what would be the process by which the information would be disclosed?" Burlison: "Yeah, it's my hope that he does an Executive Order, and then, in addition, I think that we should make it permanent through the UAP Disclosure Act, because I don't think that the investigation will...this topic is not gonna stop when Trump leaves the White House. This is going to be a continuing topic. Hopefully, we get all of the information up to date that we can out to the American people, to the world, but again, this is going to be, I certainly wanna put something in statute or in federal law so that it outlasts President Trump. So I think that that's important." (Remember how many people said the EO was already issued, based on Hegseth mentioning it in an interview? Myself, and a few others, told you that that was NOT the case. A post on Truth Social, while helpful, is NOT an EO. We need the latter.) Burlison: "So I'm trying to lead the effort to try to encourage the White House to do an Executive Order, because I think it will have teeth in it. But even just as a statement on Truth Social, that was a green light for a lot of these agencies who have wanted to investigate this topic and dedicate resources to it. It, basically, was giving them permission to do what they've been wanting to do. And so, that in and of itself is a big win." (Let's hope these agencies play ball. I'll believe it when I see it.) Burlison: "And the other thing that it's giving is, me and our team, you know, that's being led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a little bit more, you know, authority, if you will. And I'm announcing this with you right now, is that we put out a letter that was sent yesterday to Marco Rubio, to Pete Hegseth, to Tulsi Gabbard and to Chris Wright in the DOE. That is a letter from myself, that's signed by Nancy Mace, Eli Crane, Scott Perry, Anna Paulina Luna, Tim Burchett, [Suhas] Subramanyam - a Democrat member, and Andre Carson, who's a Democrat member. "So, of note is the two individuals on this list (Perry and Carson are on the HPSCI) that signed this letter are on the Intelligence Committee. So you have the Task Force and members of intelligence committee asking for, basically, following up on the President's [Truth Social post], and then furthermore, specifically, giving a list of items: file names that and the dates of these files, the metadata on these files that we are we're aware of, but we do not have the files themselves. And so this letter is requesting that Congress get...that we're able to see these files, specifically." (Fingers crossed this bears fruit and we get some of these files made public. I won't be holding my breath. Also, I like how Burlison included "the world" when he said this: "Hopefully, we get all of the information up to date that we can out to the American people, to the world." This is not an American issue.)

Fear makes people do stupid things. 72. When someone is nasty, hateful, or mean toward you treat their behavior like an affliction or illness they have. That makes it easier to have empathy toward them which can soften the conflict. 73. You don't need more time because you already have all the time you will ever get; you need more focus. 74.

If I was trying to GROW an app or ecomm right now, I wouldn't waste money on influencers or ads. I'd hire creators nobody's heard of and use this strategy that's working right now and generating 100k+ app installs to companies like focustree Influencer with 100k followers: $2,000+ for one post. Gets maybe 30k views. Everyone knows it's an ad. Creator with 500 followers: $900 for an entire month. Posts 30 times. Gets 500k+ views total. Feels more organic. That's $1.80 per thousand views versus $6-12 on Facebook. And it doesn't look like an ad because it isn't one. It's just content. "oH bUt ThaT's NoT PoSsIbLE, GrEG" I agree, this shouldn't work. But it's happening more and more and here's why: *new episode of the pod is live and we give you the playbook* But TikTok's For You Page broke the entire game. The algorithm doesn't care about follower count anymore. It only cares if people watch. IG copied this. YT copied this. Everyone copied this. Now some kid with 300 followers can outperform a verified influencer because their content is better. Not their audience. Their content. Most brands haven't figured this out. They're still paying for follower count like it's 2019. So, the smart play is hiring 10 creators instead of 1. Example: Pay 10 creators $900/month each. That's $9k total. Each posts daily across TikTok, Reels, Shorts. That's 900 pieces of content per month. When one hits, you message the group: "Everyone copy this format." Now 10 creators are using the winning formula with their own spin. The algorithm sees ten different videos, not reposts. One viral format becomes ten viral videos. Those teach you what works. You find the next format. It compounds. How to find creators Search your category on TikTok. You don't want influencers with media kits. You want people already making content about your space for fun. DM them: "Want $900/month to keep doing what you're doing?" They're posting anyway. Now they're getting paid. Run it through Discord or WhatsApp. Share what's working daily. "This hook is crushing." "Try this sound." Track everything. When something explodes, everyone pivots to that format until it stops working. This only works for products that make sense in 10 seconds. Apps with one clear feature. Products under $50. Anything bought on impulse. If you need a sales deck to explain it, this isn't for you. The beauty is what happens beyond direct sales. Someone sees your app on TikTok. They don't buy immediately. But next week they Google "that app from TikTok." Your search traffic spikes. Your app store ranking climbs. The halo effect is massive. Right now this is pure arbitrage. In two years, agencies will package this, prices will 10x, and the window closes. But today you can hire a creator army for what one influencer post costs. You can test more in a week than most brands test in a year. You're building a content machine. All algortihms care about nowadays is if people stop scrolling. Find creators who make people stop scrolling. Pay them to never stop posting. Share what works. Scale what hits. People charge $10k for this sort of info. We give it away for free on The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃 2x week. Thanks to Cody Schneider for jumping on and sharing. We could keep this to ourselves but where is the fun in that? Fun is seeing you build a bootstrapped app to millions of users through this strategy And sending me a dm And saying "thanks for the tip, professor g" No worries, my friend No worries.

That's $1.80 per thousand views versus $6-12 on Facebook. And it doesn't look like an ad because it isn't one. It's just content. "oH bUt ThaT's NoT PoSsIbLE, GrEG" I agree, this shouldn't work. But it's happening more and more and here's why: *new episode of the pod is live and we give you the playbook* But TikTok's For You Page broke the entire game. The algorithm doesn't care about follower count anymore. It only cares if people watch. IG copied this. YT copied this. Everyone copied this. Now some kid with 300 followers can outperform a verified influencer because their content is better. Not their audience. Their content. Most brands haven't figured this out. They're still paying for follower count like it's 2019. So, the smart play is hiring 10 creators instead of 1. Example: Pay 10 creators $900/month each. That's $9k total. Each posts daily across TikTok, Reels, Shorts. That's 900 pieces of content per month. When one hits, you message the group: "Everyone copy this format." Now 10 creators are using the winning formula with their own spin. The algorithm sees ten different videos, not reposts. One viral format becomes ten viral videos. Those teach you what works. You find the next format. It compounds. How to find creators Search your category on TikTok. You don't want influencers with media kits. You want people already making content about your space for fun. DM them: "Want $900/month to keep doing what you're doing?" They're posting anyway. Now they're getting paid. Run it through Discord or WhatsApp. Share what's working daily. "This hook is crushing." "Try this sound." Track everything. When something explodes, everyone pivots to that format until it stops working. This only works for products that make sense in 10 seconds. Apps with one clear feature. Products under $50. Anything bought on impulse. If you need a sales deck to explain it, this isn't for you. The beauty is what happens beyond direct sales. Someone sees your app on TikTok. They don't buy immediately. But next week they Google "that app from TikTok." Your search traffic spikes. Your app store ranking climbs. The halo effect is massive. Right now this is pure arbitrage. In two years, agencies will package this, prices will 10x, and the window closes. But today you can hire a creator army for what one influencer post costs. You can test more in a week than most brands test in a year. You're building a content machine. All algortihms care about nowadays is if people stop scrolling. Find creators who make people stop scrolling. Pay them to never stop posting. Share what works. Scale what hits. People charge $10k for this sort of info. We give it away for free on The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃 2x week. Thanks to Cody Schneider for jumping on and sharing. We could keep this to ourselves but where is the fun in that? Fun is seeing you build a bootstrapped app to millions of users through this strategy And sending me a dm And saying "thanks for the tip, professor g" No worries, my friend No worries.

Jimmy speaking up about LOL tickets resale prices: “some prices just don’t make sense… even if you can afford it, maybe hold back a bit.” 🎫 💸 JIMMY AT HUAWEI SIAM PARAGON #HuaweiSiamParagonxJimmy #LOLFanFest2026 💬: What’s your next plan? 💜: The next plan is LOL. 💬: How’s that going? 💜: First of all, I’m happy for everyone who got a ticket. But I’d like to use this space to warn the fans: for those who didn't get one and are looking to buy resold tickets at prices that just... don't make sense... I mean, it’s your money, and if you're happy to pay, I won't stop you. But I personally feel that when the price becomes nonsensical, you really shouldn't pay. I want to look out for the fans on that. 💬: There were people who grabbed a ticket and jacked the price up to six figures! 💜: Honestly, I’m not happy about the prices climbing that high. I understand it’s a basic social mechanism, high demand and limited supply. Market forces work that way for everything, not just concerts. I used to be a "sneakerhead," and when limited shoes came out and prices doubled or tripled, I was willing to pay. But when the price is like... 🤨 [calculating] ...30 or 40 times the original? Even if you have the money, you should hit the brakes a bit. 💬: So you feel it’s just not worth it to pay six figures? 💜: Yes. Honestly, it is a huge event, but we also have Live Streaming available. And let’s be real, this won't be the last time you ever see us. I understand it’s a big deal and everyone wants to come support their favorite artists, but I think I can speak for all the LOL boys when I say: some things just aren't reasonable. I want fans to keep that in mind. 💬: Do you feel "down" or discouraged when fans comment saying they couldn't get a ticket at all? 💜: Personally, I don't feel down. Like I said, it’s supply and demand. There are fans who did manage to get them, and if I were sad, it wouldn't be fair to them. We should congratulate them! All of us in LOL will just focus on doing our absolute best to make the show worth the wait and worthy of this incredible response. 💬: What’s your take on how to handle people who resell at such inflated prices? 💜: 🙂‍↔️ I honestly don't know how to solve it. We’ve already been discussing this with friends and the management. We sit down and ask, "How do we deal with this?" Someone suggests one way, but it might disadvantage one group of people. Another suggestion might hurt another group. If anyone has a great solution, please share it! We’re listening. If it’s a good idea, we’ll improve things for the next event. If the executives see a comment with a viable method, I’d be very happy to hear it. 💬: So the LOL gang isn't just staying silent about this issue? 💜: I think the executives have seen this from the start. It’s not just GMMTV; every company selling concert tickets is trying to deal with this. It’s just that the perfect solution hasn't been found yet. 💬: How’s the preparation coming along? 💜: Right now, the behind-the-scenes team, choreographers, and show creators are starting to consult with the artists. We’re currently in the song selection phase. 💬: Are you guys pitching your own ideas? 💜: Yeah, there’s some of that. We’ve talked about wanting to do things a certain way this year. 💬: So it's all in the preparation stage? 💜: We’re still in the discussion phase with the team. 💬: Nothing set in stone yet for the performance? 💜: 😊 Yes. The exact show structure isn't crystal clear yet, but the theme is very distinct. It’s the racing theme, right? We're working on the show now.

Steve Jobs literally gave a 10-minute masterclass on building a company (better than $100K MBA): 1. Someone has to be the keeper of the vision. There is a staggering amount of work in building anything, and when you have to walk a thousand miles, the first step looks impossibly far. Jobs saw his job as the person who constantly reminds everyone that the goal is real, not a mirage, and that each step gets you closer. In a thousand small and occasionally large ways, the vision has to be repeated, or people lose faith it exists. 2. The honeymoon ends fast, and then the world only cares what you produce. After six months, Jobs told his team that all the goodwill they got just for existing was old news. You can point to the lawsuit, the setbacks, the this and that, but the bottom line is the world does not care. It cares about what you ship and how timely you bring it to market. From here on out you get judged like every other startup, by your product, not your story. 3. The most important job of a leader is recruiting. Jobs says it plainly: hiring is the thing he considers most important about a role like his. He didn't want seasoned professionals so much as people who were insanely great at what they did, who had the latest understanding of the technology at their fingertips and the passion to bring it to millions. 4. A great team becomes self-policing about who it lets in. Once you assemble a core group of ten genuinely great people, something powerful happens: they start guarding the bar themselves. They will not tolerate letting mediocre people into the group. The quality defends itself, which is why getting those first ten right matters more than almost anything. 5. Start with the customer experience and work backwards to the technology. This is the mistake Jobs says he made more than anyone in the room, and he has the scar tissue to prove it. You cannot start with a piece of awesome technology and then hunt for where to sell it. You start with what incredible benefit you can give the customer and where you can take them, and only then figure out the technology to get there. 6. You have to find what you love, and not settle. Your work fills a huge part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it, keep looking, and don't settle. Like any matter of the heart, you'll know when you find it, and it only gets better over the years. 7. They didn't set out to start a company. They just wanted the thing to exist. There was no personal computer in 1975, so Jobs and Wozniak built one because they wanted one and none existed. They made it for themselves, showed it to friends, and the friends all wanted one. They started building by hand until it consumed all their spare time, so they decided to manufacture a hundred just to stop. That is how Apple began. Not a plan to start a company, a circle that kept getting bigger. 8. "I want to make lots of money" is not a good enough reason. When people tell Jobs they want to start a company, he asks why. If the answer is to make lots of money, he tells them to forget it. He has barely seen anyone succeed that way. The ones who succeed often didn't even want to start a company. They just had an idea they needed to get out into the world, and had to build a company because no one else would listen. 9. You lead by example, because everyone is watching. You can say anything you want, but people watch extremely carefully what senior management actually does. When something isn't quite good enough, do you stop and make it great, or do you just ship it? Everyone sees which choice you make in the hard moments, what decisions you make and what values you hold, and that, not your speeches, is what permeates a company of thousands. 10. Focus doesn't mean saying yes. It means saying no. Jobs kept the organization simple and did very few things well. And focusing is hard precisely because it means deciding not to do a huge number of things so you can pour everything into a handful. Most people think focus is about what you take on. He understood it's about what you refuse. 11. Let people do the best work of their lives. Everyone wants to do something great, to be excited about what they're building, and to be recognized when they nail it. So Jobs tried to build a place where people could do their best work and then get it in front of 25 million customers. Knowing millions of people will use the thing you're making, and that the whole industry will copy it if it works, is enormously motivating. 12. Don't lose the war because you won a few battles. Late in the clip Jobs gets blunt about a danger he sees creeping in: losing the startup hustle. If you zoom out, it would be a shame to lose the war because you were busy winning small battles. He felt people were concentrating too hard on minor fights and losing perspective on the real one. And the war, he says, is survival, not running out of money before you get your product to market.

Dear Lexxie (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez)... (May I call you Lexxie? You can call me Dev. ) We probably wouldn't get along very well. I'm a throw-the-communists-out-of-helicopters anarchocapitalist, and that's probably too big a political gap to bridge with a few interpersonal gestures. However, like each other or not, I'm going to assume you are asking in good faith, and I'm going to answer you. I'm not going to answer your exact question, though. It's the wrong question. An answer wouldn't get you the information I think you are actually looking for. It looks like you're assuming that the neo-republican "MAGA" movement works like a traditional campaign. You develop a message about how your platform will be good for people, and your opponent's platform will be bad for them, then you get that message out on various channels, and it persuades some people to vote for you. That's definitely how democrats work. You are the party of television. And it's how old, pre-2015 republicans worked, too. You know, all those guys like Romney, who have been exiled to the wilderness, or, in the case of Cheney, have joined the democrats. MAGA doesn't work like that. We didn't vote for Trump because he persuaded us by getting XYZ message out on the UVW channel. We voted for Trump because we were waiting for someone like Trump to come along, so we could vote for him. That's why Trump didn't really have to do much of anything to beat you. He just had to position himself as the anti-establishment candidate, then get out of the way and let things happen, without making any major mistakes. The field was primed for him before he ever announced that he would run. Why? Because of one key insight that I don't think democrats have ever had. Elections are not about policy. They are not about personality. They are not about experience. They are not about charisma. Elections are about trust. Trump was elected in a landslide in 2016, 2024, and probably 2020 as well if you discard all the fake ballots, because more people trusted him, and less people trusted Clinton, Biden, or Harris. If you think about it, it's really pretty obvious that trust is the only issue that matters. Here's an example. Democrats campaigned against Trump by pounding on the abortion issue and cosplaying as fictional sex slaves from a kink novel for lonely cat ladies. And it worked with your base. Despite the fact that Trump had released a public statement that he would veto any national level restrictions on abortion, and that it was the Supreme Court, not he, who had overturned Roe-Wade in the first place, not even on ideological grounds, but because it was bad lawyering. Why did it work? Because those people didn't trust Trump. So anything he said about his intentions on the abortion issue was meaningless to them. It's all about trust. So why did more people trust Trump? And why do I say they were waiting to vote for him before he even came along? Because trust in Trump is rooted in distrust of the Machine. The Machine is the system of informal, unacknowledged relationships between people who have clout in the federal government and use it to benefit themselves, to benefit each other, and to protect their power base from outsiders. In other words, the federal government is corrupt, and the majority of Americans know it. Resist the temptation to argue with me here, even inside your own head. We are talking about why people voted for Trump. It's important what they believe, not whether you agree with them. Now, I could go on all day with examples of the Machine, and its fairly obvious abuse of power and funds. I could talk about fake vaccines that turned out to be neither safe nor effective, which made a lot of money for people who are vaccinated against any liability by your own organization... Congress. But that would sidetrack us, because you'd succumb to the temptation to argue about each one, and it's not important whether you agree. What's important, once again, is what the majority of Americans agree on. They agree on the existence of a Machine. They agree that the Machine has political influence which does not come from the "just consent of the governed". They agree that the Machine is materially harming them by enacting policies which hurt them. They agree that the Machine is materially harming them by spending their money on things that are not in their interest. They agree that the Machine is materially harming them by failing to faithfully carry out the actual duties of the federal government. They hate and distrust the Machine. All of this has nothing to with Trump, because all of this became true before Trump announced he was running. As I said, people were waiting for a Trump they could vote for. This is why. But how did distrust in the Machine translate into trust in Trump? Simple. Because Trump is the enemy of the Machine. How do we know that? Simple. It's not just because Trump told us so. If it were merely Trump telling us so, he could have been lying. We know Trump is the enemy of the Machine, because the Machine told us so. We saw how desperate the Machine was to convince us that Trump was an icky superplusungood double-Nazi, when his actual platform was just straight-up 1960s democrat, John Kennedy style. We saw them hurling accusation after accusation, as if they were throwing pasta at the wall, seeing what would stick. We saw the press elements of the Machine continuing to hold to those accusations, long after they had been proven to not just be false, but to be deliberate lies. Every time the Machine told us that Trump was horrible, all it did was confirm what Trump was telling us... that he intended to fight the Machine. In 2016, that was enough to get him elected. Check the video below. Michael Moore was the only person who understood this in 2016. Thing is he understood Trump voters, but not Trump. He thought a Trump presidency would be disastrous. Turned that nothing much happened at all. The Machine fought him more or less to a standstill, and the only major way he moved the needle was in putting three constitutionalists on the Supreme Court. Now, that's no small feat. Helped us a lot, and will for years to come. But the border security system didn't get finished, Mexico didn't pay for it, etc. Thing is, that's not important. What's important is why. We saw the fight between Trump and the Machine. It wasn't about whether he could beat the Machine or not. It was the fact that he willing to fight it, and the fact that we could see the fight. And that proved that his intentions were at least partially what he said they were. In 2024, he looks a lot more prepared, and has a team of heavy hitters backing him But there's one more set of questions to ask, here. Why did Trump run as a republican? Why is it Democrats, in particular, who are identified with the Machine? Well, the easy answer is that you keep running Machine candidates. Obama looked like an outsider, but he integrated into the Machine with great enthusiasm the microsecond he took office. Clinton and Biden were personifications of the Machine. Harris was the same, only dumber. But the deeper answer is that democrats have been in power for 12 of the past 16 years. And what y'all chose to do with that time was expand the Machine and integrate yourselves with it for ego-gratification and profit. Again, resist the impulse to argue. We may be at a disadvantage against you because we don't sign the paychecks of a legion of armed thugs, but that doesn't make us somehow dumber than you, or oblivious to what's going on. We know what "Ten percent for the big guy" means. And we don't stop knowing it when Comrade Squealer gets on MSNBC and launches some convoluted deflection filled with mental gymnastics we aren't morally flexible enough to replicate. Now, you, Lexxie, can argue that you're not a part of that. Maybe it would even be true. Or partially true. Maybe, through the awesome power of wishful thinking and historical ignorance, you actually are a sincere socialist, who thinks that statist, collectivist policies will actually benefit people, rather than just provide politicians with opportunities to steal and ruin people's live with a stroke of the pen out of sheer sadism. But you're not asking why you lost. You didn't lose. Harris lost. You're asking why Harris lost. Harris lost because we are aware of the Machine, and we don't like it. Trump is just our plan A to dismantle it. Let's all just hope we don't have to go to plan B. Plan B wouldn't be fun for anybody.

What's important, once again, is what the majority of Americans agree on. They agree on the existence of a Machine. They agree that the Machine has political influence which does not come from the "just consent of the governed". They agree that the Machine is materially harming them by enacting policies which hurt them. They agree that the Machine is materially harming them by spending their money on things that are not in their interest. They agree that the Machine is materially harming them by failing to faithfully carry out the actual duties of the federal government. They hate and distrust the Machine. All of this has nothing to with Trump, because all of this became true before Trump announced he was running. As I said, people were waiting for a Trump they could vote for. This is why. But how did distrust in the Machine translate into trust in Trump? Simple. Because Trump is the enemy of the Machine. How do we know that? Simple. It's not just because Trump told us so. If it were merely Trump telling us so, he could have been lying. We know Trump is the enemy of the Machine, because the Machine told us so. We saw how desperate the Machine was to convince us that Trump was an icky superplusungood double-Nazi, when his actual platform was just straight-up 1960s democrat, John Kennedy style. We saw them hurling accusation after accusation, as if they were throwing pasta at the wall, seeing what would stick. We saw the press elements of the Machine continuing to hold to those accusations, long after they had been proven to not just be false, but to be deliberate lies. Every time the Machine told us that Trump was horrible, all it did was confirm what Trump was telling us... that he intended to fight the Machine. In 2016, that was enough to get him elected. Check the video below. Michael Moore was the only person who understood this in 2016. Thing is he understood Trump voters, but not Trump. He thought a Trump presidency would be disastrous. Turned that nothing much happened at all. The Machine fought him more or less to a standstill, and the only major way he moved the needle was in putting three constitutionalists on the Supreme Court. Now, that's no small feat. Helped us a lot, and will for years to come. But the border security system didn't get finished, Mexico didn't pay for it, etc. Thing is, that's not important. What's important is why. We saw the fight between Trump and the Machine. It wasn't about whether he could beat the Machine or not. It was the fact that he willing to fight it, and the fact that we could see the fight. And that proved that his intentions were at least partially what he said they were. In 2024, he looks a lot more prepared, and has a team of heavy hitters backing him But there's one more set of questions to ask, here. Why did Trump run as a republican? Why is it Democrats, in particular, who are identified with the Machine? Well, the easy answer is that you keep running Machine candidates. Obama looked like an outsider, but he integrated into the Machine with great enthusiasm the microsecond he took office. Clinton and Biden were personifications of the Machine. Harris was the same, only dumber. But the deeper answer is that democrats have been in power for 12 of the past 16 years. And what y'all chose to do with that time was expand the Machine and integrate yourselves with it for ego-gratification and profit. Again, resist the impulse to argue. We may be at a disadvantage against you because we don't sign the paychecks of a legion of armed thugs, but that doesn't make us somehow dumber than you, or oblivious to what's going on. We know what "Ten percent for the big guy" means. And we don't stop knowing it when Comrade Squealer gets on MSNBC and launches some convoluted deflection filled with mental gymnastics we aren't morally flexible enough to replicate. Now, you, Lexxie, can argue that you're not a part of that. Maybe it would even be true. Or partially true. Maybe, through the awesome power of wishful thinking and historical ignorance, you actually are a sincere socialist, who thinks that statist, collectivist policies will actually benefit people, rather than just provide politicians with opportunities to steal and ruin people's live with a stroke of the pen out of sheer sadism. But you're not asking why you lost. You didn't lose. Harris lost. You're asking why Harris lost. Harris lost because we are aware of the Machine, and we don't like it. Trump is just our plan A to dismantle it. Let's all just hope we don't have to go to plan B. Plan B wouldn't be fun for anybody.
