Okay, good evening everyone in typical form I am doing this live stream not of course to do a live stream because I never do live streams to do live streams I always do them to test things about live streams now in real life I want to talk about a couple things, but the thing I'm testing in this live stream is actually it's over there You can see it. I'm calling this the Monero live stream or night owl Monero stream because I want to talk a little bit about Cryptocurrencies maybe specifically Monero But the thing we're testing out XMR.luxmit.xyz Is it's a way for you to super chat Monero? Okay, so one of the Monero guys Eric which some people might know about I don't know anything about him except for he goes by Eric But he wrote this very nice little Self-hostable Go script well, I mean go it's not really script, but it's basically it's a very small go program That just reads Donations into a Monero wallet and gives you this web interface where you can give a super chat So I'm gonna test that out for him. Hopefully it'll work and there should actually be Notifications if someone actually does it below this So we're gonna test that out here to make sure it works in the meantime I want to talk about a couple different things, but as I said, we'll start off on cryptocurrency I'm open to talking about whatever But again, you could donate Monero or you know the usual ways if you want and I will read whatever donations so Are we actually live okay, maybe I should actually check that So just starting out things now I say crypto currencies what you know why crypto currencies Within the past couple of weeks the use case of Cryptos is becoming more and more like kind of normalized mainstreamed. Okay Because You know first off there was that thing in Canada, right? So the Canadian government basically said that they're going to Close out a bunch of people's bank accounts and things like this for political donations and stuff like that And that's like insane enough as it is right you just declare a state of emergency and you start closing bank accounts or whatever But then there was this whole Ukraine and Russia thing which is getting even more insane Okay Because swift which is the payment process one of the like back-end payment processors that no one ever knows about That's used for like interbank transfers Basically the governments in the West have as part of the like embargo against Russia They're trying to cut that they're basically making it impossible for Russians to actually use money or to use banks or Transfer between banks and stuff like that So we're all the there were all these kind of trusted You know different ways of Transacting money that are now kind of falling into place now the thing with crypto cryptocurrencies Originally, right? Oh, it's just for drug dealers and like weirdos and stuff like that But now it's getting to the point quite literally where if you're a normal person I mean if you're a normal person in Russia or Ukraine, right? That to be to be able to use technology where you can transfer value without an intermediary That is actually something that's valuable, right? That's that's something that you now need or if you're like a Canadian who wants to donate to truckers to honk at Lib Tards, right? So that is now a clandestine operation. That's something you need I don't know but like you need some kind of private cryptocurrency for so, you know over the past five or You know, maybe seven years or so. There's been this normal as ace normalization of the idea that all platforms all Technologies all companies all everything Basically have to serve the direct interests of you know, the American government Okay, and there's nothing else that you can do aside from that, right? And everyone else is just gonna get shut down, right? So, you know, it's just funny to see that that's been Like again, this is no longer for like drug dealers and stuff like this This is now something that everyone kind of has a use for a need for, right? So I actually noticed on OBS there is it looks like there was a successful XMR super chat So good to know what's actually working. So Kenny sends in You know point zero one. He says stream powered by plastic Wi-Fi box with no web interface. That's right That's right. We can all thank Starlink for this fantastic connection I'll be it would be much better if there were actually a Wi-Fi connection. So No, I should go ahead and pull up the proper chat Wow looks cozy. Yeah, I also got a new webcam. I don't know if you noticed It's very wide angle. I don't know if I like that much like I kind of like my face Like I've tried to do videos with my face and nothing else just because I feel like it's kind of distracting seeing the whole room But this it's really the webcam is at the only comfortable position right now, you know above my monitor But I don't know it's kind of it is comfy looking. It is a comfy looking. I Don't know it makes this office look very nice, right? You got all the colors of my books all the oh man This is good. This is like This is like 90s nostalgia So for not it's not the 90s like people are gonna look back at this in 20 years It's like remember when remember when people had rooms like that. Wow All right, why are you wearing shoes inside? Well, they're hard to take off realistically so Chair looks comfy. What model is it? I don't know. I just I just have this chair was actually in the house So when I bought it, I don't know where it came from like when I when I bought this house There were there was actually a lot of furniture that They kind of left with it So I'll take it and it's pretty nice the thing about this chair though is it's super low and So I kind of feel like honestly I feel I feel like I look like a manlet because it's like the webcam is so far away I look so small, you know because I'm like sunk down extra low, you know look at it I don't know. It just looks funny, but I guess it's part of the feel here But anyway, so so back on cryptocurrency like again people spurg out about it like I mean what one narrative that I think people should put out there is the notion that You know, they need to stop looking at like Bitcoin or Monero as being like a digital object Like it's not something you have Really what it is is it's software. It's highly useful software that cuts out all of this cruft That we have in the traditional banking system it cuts out banks themselves You don't need to have a bank To get all the features of using a bank to like to use your online checking account you no longer need some trusted party that you store your money with right and You know just as an example if someone, you know, donates to someone online Okay as an example, let's say you send PayPal to someone is PayPal money, right? So that PayPal that is tied to your bank account, right?  So that's your bank That's visa and Mastercard that's PayPal and it's sending it through let's say stripe or some other kind of donation service Or another payment processor and then that goes to someone else's bank There are all these intermediary parties and we're now like in the craziness of the modern world, right? We're now seeing how crazy how unsustainable that is where if you just have all these Why would you use all this proprietary software from all these parties that can take away your ability to transact when you could? Just use like a Bitcoin or Monero or something like that, right? That's the idea like a lot of people nowadays Because it's so late like Bitcoin has been around.  I mean like it's been along so long and people have this idea that the purpose of using Digital currencies is for like making money like as an investment and that's not it like it's software that you use and when you realize the Software is useful. You realize that oh well I don't really need to worry about gaining or losing money because it's probably like the networking effect is gonna make it more useful In the future meaning, you know, yeah I am gonna make US dollars in this if I hold it for a significant period if I'm if I'm holding something decent, right? Not if I'm holding holding some PG coin, but or some scam or but whatever Luke your leg amount in the leg-to-chest ratio is higher than I Imagine well, it's really just because of the business like my legs are so much closer If they do look enormous it looks like I have a super small torso, but that is just the perspective of this I don't know fish eye Lins or unfish. I don't know how it is. Yeah, I look totally weird I look lanky when I put my feet up there, but no that is not accurate I'm actually I'm more torso than legs. I've always felt like at least Now I do have shorter arms than most people though. Okay, whenever I get a suit jacket I usually have to get like a shorter sleeved one I mean not like that shorter, but it's just you know a lot of times will be a little too Too far up that that's just my feel of it, right? But I also have like wide shoulders that that's if anyone wants to buy me a suit wide shoulders short sleeves That's how I do it. I don't need a suit. Thank you, but you know What kind of keyboard is that an IBM clone what's the company I did a video on this this is a unicomp in Dora pro and Yes, it is an IBM clone clone. It is actually the company unicomp Our former employees of IBM that have the one remaining America American factory where they make these things so Yeah, you can you can get them like that. Anyway, this has a track point in the middle That's one of the reasons I got it. So Let me see. Did I get another XMR donation that I missed No, yeah, I got I have to get people into Monero or Bitcoin or stuff more because again, I Think I mentioned before I want to go a hundred percent all using cryptocurrency online within the next year or so That's just because I mean, that's the right way to do it and it's I mean when it comes down to it It's also free software. You know what? I mean, it's a privacy respecting and free software or at least Monero's privacy respecting, right? because if I'm doing a channel talking about how great free software is and why you're Screwing yourself if you're using Google Chrome or something like that.  When there's there's an existing alternative bit that does have pretty much everything better. So You know, that's just how I feel Monero to Moon when it doesn't matter like a lot of people Think again, they're they're thinking about cryptocurrency as if is it gonna go up soon Like I'm not again. I think of it as like software and it's useful software. Monero is a really great Now I do I do expect it to go up But you know, it's not an issue of really win Because like price the price has to do with so many other things in the case It might have to do with the velocity of exchange How quickly are people actually transacting with it because that's if it's a more widely used currency It might actually have a lower price. Okay, because it's moving around quicker or you know It has I mean most cryptocurrency prices are just a function of speculation, right? Are people buying or selling or shorting or longing it, you know, so that's why I don't get to Set on you know, the prices what they are now and I don't think anyone like if you buy into it Don't buy into it Don't buy into it because you expect it to go up instantly but because you know Oh, I can transact with my friends if I need it and that I think I've said this in another video One thing I recommend people is if you and your friends are thinking about getting into Bitcoin Monero, whatever Just all of you together just buy a couple hundred bucks of it, right? And when you have when you owe your bud 20 bucks, just send it on Monero Okay, just send it that way and you will realize the benefits of it And that will make it useful to for you and that will create a network of people that are using this Okay, so that you know, that's one of the things Luke are you good at chess? I've actually been playing chess a lot recently, but I wouldn't say I'm good at it I mean better than a normie sure But good at it. No like chess to get good at it to get like really good at you got it Well, you really have to know opening theory and all this kind of crap that I don't have patients to learn but Any new books coming to lindy press? Yes, absolutely. Let me shoot. Where is that? Give me a second. I have some proof copies. I will Forget it from the other room There's one other one that I have shipping right now So one that I have Right here. This is the alchemy reader. Okay So what this is it's a collection of a couple of Well, a couple of many different works in the history of alchemy. Okay, so That might sound like totally bizarre. What do I care about alchemy? Right? So firstly alchemy in the middle ages Was it's like half philosophical in half chemistry and science, right? So a lot of these are more like philosophical treatises Now there are some from basal valentine You have like a million different recipes in this book for the philosopher's stone if you have If you want to make that So a lot of this is kind of historical. It goes in like the alchemical worldview How do you explain it? It's partially predicated on the greek view of the the core elements and you know How they interact versus the hermetic like ultimately alchemists had this idea That you do these chemical experiments and you find You you find like these I guess you could say principles behind chemistry All right, how things interact how Wetness and warmness like how can you distill things? How can you? Uh, you know create kerosene or gunpowder or things like this and There's an aspect to the universe where everything in the universe reflects other portions of the universe So if you learn something deep about a chemistry principle a principle in chemistry chemistry That actually also tells you about how other domains of knowledge work So it might tell you Something about how the cosmos works or about human psychology or something like that Either way Alchemy stuff is actually pretty interesting to read. Some of it is dry and like chemical But a lot of it is kind of philosophical one of the interesting ones in here is actually the The philosophers rosary. Okay, I don't think you could actually see that well the title is in latin But this book is all in english Even though a couple of the titles are in latin because traditionally they are This is an interesting book that goes through Uh, it really has a bunch of quotes And I don't anecdotes from just you know hundreds of different philosophers and stuff like that It's an interesting thing and notice you saw some engravings. There are like A bunch of different engravings in this book. Oh, this one's a little risqué, but um So I want to have images and stuff a lot of these Let's see Oh the philosophers the turba filosoforum. I don't know how exactly how how would you translate Turba like the crowd or the uproar or the I don't know Again, it's a latin word, but it's the book in here is written in in english This is sort of the same thing where this it actually This book the turba filosoforum it was written in the middle ages by an era philosopher probably we're not entirely sure but it's basically A bunch of philosophers from greek antiquity arguing with each other Like one of them says something and then another one has a retort to that and it's them trying to like figure out You know the nature of the universe or whatever But that was influential and now can be included in there So i'm still trying to figure out what works to include in here because there are some annoying people out there I really I really don't like this.  I i'm not especially one I don't especially want to make money off of your stuff like me including one extra You know book in here is not going to make me a lot of money However, it annoys me because they have that license. I cannot put your work in physical format Okay, because I can't do this for free, right? um Their production costs right so that kind of annoys me I I really hate copyrights in general even people who are who think they're doing the world a good thing By putting out slightly permissive non commercial licenses. I think that's just as bad Frankly, he's just saying you can't copy this, right? um, okay, I feel like Is this getting a little yeah, I think I'm delaying a little bit. I'm going to stop the recording on my own machine for a second because I think it's using too much cpu um, I did see an xmr super chat, so I'm going to check that out Sam Hyde sends in uh, 0.1 um, or 0.01 XMR we should just print more bitcoins so more people can use them. I mean 40,000 for one coin how will that I purchase that yeah, it is crazy and a lot of boomers think of it like that They think oh my goodness bitcoins like 40,000 dollars. How am I supposed to get a bitcoin? Well in case you don't know anything you don't need to get a whole bitcoin out there. I suppose Some people need to be told that but uh, yeah, you can get you know 0.0000001 bitcoin But you tell your boomer uncle that you know if they don't know it The audio sounded okay right now. I I kind of feel like it's looking choppy on my side um Yeah, no one's complaining about it. So I'm I'm just going to assume that or maybe no one's complaining about it Let me zoom down here Let me zoom down here Okay so Anonymous sent in point five point 0.05 XMR Julius Caesar based on cringe. Uh, definitely on the base side. Um People who resisted Julius Caesar were definitely cringe. Okay.  Who's in the deepest?  I did a video entitled that about Dante's uh View of of roman history, which is actually probably worth watching. You might learn something if you haven't seen it Yeah, I definitely think that um, you know, there there are great men who are meant to be leaders and Julius Caesar was one of them And the roman republic, you know, it's days were it's days were over. So, you know, not really worth it Uh, actually, maybe I should see if I have normal donations. Oh, I do have normal donations Um bomb chew bomb chew link Says just wanted to say thank you for introducing me to linux three years ago. Also. Thank you for landchad.net. Thank you Uh, I need to do more work on landchad.net. I haven't touched it in a little bit Um, of course, I've touched it more than I've touched base thought cooking, but yeah base thought cooking actually needs a revamp I'm gonna clear a lot of the old recipes out. I'm probably not gonna Accept recipes from other people like not really use it on github Uh, well, I don't know. I don't want to say that but I want to be a lot more Like I want it to have fewer recipes and I want to cater it more to stuff that I things that's actually based Right, I don't want to have cringe stuff on base cooking. But yeah, I want on landchad.net Um, I do plan on doing videos on a lot of the stuff on landchad.net That's what I need to do next week. I need to set up a peer tube instance for a friend of mine So I might do a video, uh, setting that up and maybe some other thing. So thank you bomb chew link Um And it looks like he sent me another one. Thank you for getting me into linux three years ago configuring and growing larbs into my own thing Has been an amazing experience Thank you um angel ozzy Says if anything liberal lefties if they have any consistent Thought or similar values should be the main people behind cryptocurrency if they pretend To be against the financial institutions being oppressive lull Yeah, I mean you might think that but the thing with them is I think when you get a lot of them down on it They they really just hate the idea of money or wealth or like anyone anyone being rich And a lot of them really hate the notion of Cryptocurrency because it is like I mean it's really more libertarian than anything else And if there's anything that makes them see it's the idea that like there's money out there that they can't control Uh, if you want the most hilarious and embarrassing thing you've ever seen in your life, you should see you should um send uh or see, uh What is it richard stallman's interview with uh, uh monero talk Where richard stallman gets on there and of course, you know monero talk is monero talk and they're talking about Monero and digital privacy and freedom and stuff like that and richard stallman who's you know Very based on free software and stuff like that But he's still like this socialist and he's like no I don't want people to be able to send money anonymously. We have to be able to tax them and it's like For people like that, you know, they There's a kind of contradiction there where if you believe like if you believe in income taxes, okay Income taxes are something that every american has to do But when you think about how insane they are You're literally reporting to the government all, you know, your economic transactions as a business Which is just not I mean it's like they they have all your Employees they have no privacy all your contract your your contractors All major transactions anything you write off Like the amount of compromise that happens in that is just insane um But I mean you really cannot like if you have taxation you really can't have any kind of freedom I mean, especially income taxation that that's really egregious The way people do it now if the government did it differently I mean if they did it in a way Found out you have income therefore give us this money Instead of you having to file it that would be different right that that would be Like a little the most annoying thing about income taxes. Sorry. It's income tax season in america I don't know how in other countries.  He's just it's just so annoying, but whatever That shouldn't be ranting about something um Okay, let's go back to the super the xmr super chats um So the test chat says thanks for getting me into latin here is for testing super chats. Hey, thanks Anonymous says any tips for saying focused on learning? uh been using linux exclusively for a month now Well, I mean learning linux when I started learning it it was just you know, you got to You know you got to be calibrated to what you want to accomplish right so when I started and my original videos on youtube reflect this I was all about Compiling documents in law tech and stuff like this. So I was thinking how can I optimize this? How can I improve vim to get the get me things that I need? um all the all these kind of things to Uh, I mean like you just have to be goal oriented What do I want to accomplish here and in the meantime you've got to learn as much as you can So, you know, that that's what I recommend and always try to do things the minimalist way The way that gets you down to like the the the nitty gritty of the of what's going on And you know that that's how it is So giga chad the great sins and some xmr the xmr will set you free Onward you plebs for freedom's sake. Thank you giga chad the great um Yeah, people are saying it's uh, it's Laggy, so you know what it is. I actually think here's what I'm gonna do I okay the bandwidth looks good, but I think the I think it might actually just be the webcam because the webcam is delayed Let me turn this off for a second or the webcam off Okay, and I'm actually maybe I'll pause this background swirl. You like my background swirl Let's see How do I pause it? There we go. That's image magic magic, right? So I just used like the plasma feature And uh made it into you know made a bunch of We're all really just a gif out of it. Okay. I'm gonna pause Pause that And that will take up less bandwidth now. I am going to Okay Yeah, I think it's still yeah the video is choppy the problem is not the bandwidth the problem is actually my uh cpu usage On my computer. That's yeah, the audio should be fine um Yep Yeah, it's it's not starlink. It's it's my computer or whatever the weird thing is I used to be able to stream perfectly on this laptop with no problem Like it never did, you know, it never took up 100 percent of my cpu or anything crazy, but just recently Uh, I mean recently within the past year it used it for years I would stream without without a problem, but then there maybe there was some change the obs or something else Here's what I'm gonna do.  I'm gonna move to my laptop screen That will probably reduce Um That'll make it easier A little easier for my poor little correlate computer How's the graver and wing grow? I actually have not busted that open Um, that's he's referring to that orange book right there. That's the dawn of everything I don't know if it's because you actually saw it or because um Yeah, because I mentioned it in another stream. I I have not opened that book I want to do a podcast episode on his um on another book of david gravers the uh the bs jobs one um Hey luke have you encountered any ghosts in the woods? No, I actually haven't I'm missing out clearly missing out I'm gonna turn off that tab because it's probably taken up Okay, I probably should reorient myself since I'm facing the other screen now Yeah, it's not a swirly chair. So sorry about that. I don't have all the technology I need Um Moayed uh says I want to buy Monero and possibly other coins anonymously how Coinbase or websites similar to it trans uh then transfer it to my own wallet. What wallet do you use? Thanks for your great informative videos so firstly When it comes to cryptocurrency at this point the only coins that I recommend and again, this is not Investment advice because I'm not interested in just making money, but software advice The only ones I recommend are bitcoin and Monero and that's it and I have reasons for that um Now as for attaining Monero, so let's say you buy bitcoin on a kyc exchange That is the easiest thing to do. It's also the worst thing to do um Now it's not the it's still better than not having it, but yes, you want to transfer it to a private wallet um Now to get Monero Monero is not on a lot of exchanges and this is actually a really good thing for different reasons because um, you know if a Monero is on exchanges that actually means that it compromises its uh uh An onset because basically an exchange has access to you know, which you know, uh transactions are In a ring signature or legitimate or not. I mean, maybe it's complicated if you don't know how Monero works, but um Either way Monero is not on a lot of exchanges But what you can do is you can take bitcoin and there are many swap there are many swap sites where you can just swap bitcoin for Monero Uh without having an account and if it's a small amount, they won't require id or anything Uh, and of course now they do have atomic swaps as well. I have never used one of those But um, those are trustless ways of doing the same thing where you can um transfer bitcoin to Monero So you can look for a an atomic swap So that's the best way of getting Monero and I recommend never you know, if even if you buy bitcoin on an exchange, um, you know Keep it off an exchange like never let it touch an exchange again and never let your Monero touch an exchange. That's just good Op sec um, and you know if you're someone like me who's in it for the long haul like I don't really worry about Cashing out or doing anything. I'm just gonna hold it for years. So um, the only so specific places where you can trade Monero, okay Or bitcoin other stuff uh sites and services. You should know So, uh, there are sites called local Monero and there are local bitcoins and local cryptos These are all sites where it's kind of like a craigslist Where you can put in an ad saying, hey, I want to buy this much bitcoin And i'll give you american dollars or Monero or stuff stuff like that. So again local Monero local cryptos local bitcoins You can look at sites like this. That's a way for anonymously getting this kind of stuff Now a lot of times the specific people who you want to transact with they want to They might want to know your id just to make sure you're not like some kind of assassin or you're someone trying to launder money But you know, they just expect you to be a normal person and they're not going to Usually send your id to someone else. So that is an option Um, ideally also, there is of course bisk, which I've recommended in the past. That's b i s q You can go to b i s q dot network. That's their website That is software you can run on your computer That is basically the same thing where you can put up orders or respond to orders There are no accounts. You can use all these different ways of of You know buying bitcoin, but the tricky thing was that with that is well, it's a little harder to use software if you're unfamiliar It'll it'll look scary But also you need bitcoin to use it because there's a sm- whenever you trade bitcoin You have to put up a small amount as collateral, right? So Anyway So yeah, that's my answer to how you how you should get them.  Just make sure you own it and even getting kyc bitcoin is better than none Okay, so that that is my my view on it um Z fang says hi luke any advice on starting a youtube channel Recently uploaded around nine videos about philosophy on my channel after becoming disillusioned with the bs jobs Uh with bs jobs, uh, love the not related podcasts watched all of them. Yeah, and I need to do another one on You know bs jobs, um so specific recommendations like The thing is I could give you the advice that worked for me But it might not work for other people or it might uh, I mean my listen my technique has always been like be real I mean you guys know i'm litter. Am I recording in a studio? No, I'm recording off my like individual You know my personal computer that you know runs like crap and stuff like that Like I you know, I've always just sort of winged it On youtube, I guess, uh, like I've never really made it a thing And I don't edit videos and now the thing is you can say i'm going for a style I'm not really going for it, but you know, there's there's a style behind it um, and so what I would say is that Just like Be do unapologetically what you want to do Okay, and if you want hey, if you want to shill products and stuff and make money off that unapologetically do that Okay, you do it. Um But I think one thing you got to remember is that most people out there even if they're having if they're doing good stuff Like you can't necessarily expect that you will magically take off Um, that's and I know lots of like dude everyone in the world Around me seems like they wanted to become a youtuber at some point and you know, they asked me about this kind of stuff um, but I would just say put yourself in a position where You don't get burnt out just doing stuff that you want to do and do stuff that you want to do And it won't be then you will be content with oh, I have a couple hundred subscribers Or maybe a couple thousand or I don't even know how much I know I have more than a hundred thousand now, but um, it doesn't really feel like that. Um Uh It's kind of weird Uh, so, uh, please respond to my email or this is josh At the lift program. Please respond to my email or I will perpetual harass via live stream I don't know I don't see an email for me. Sorry, buddy I mean, if you emailed me a long time ago, I uh I don't know. Maybe I'm not gonna look through my emails right now Um, you could repost what you want, uh said there Okay, let's see Category theory sent in some manero. This is one small step for man and one small donation to test if this works Hello, luke. By the way, have you talked about ukraine yet during the stream? No I'm not really interested in talking about ukraine Um, I think it's probably gonna roll over. I mean, it's obviously still I mean, there's nothing to say about it Like there really isn't I said what I was going to say at the beginning, which isn't really about ukraine But I I think it's nuts that the western governments are now effectively de-platforming financially russia For some reason like this invasion of you a quote-unquote invasion of ukraine Is so egregious and so Of course, no one in america knows what's actually going on over here I was like, sorry. I know what that is.  Like literally, I I'd like to see you do that jill brandon.  The war is lost you might as well give the you know the the The counties whatever they call them the the territories in the east their own independence their own sovereignty And you know just say you don't don't own the russian sections of ukraine now And call it that just abide by russia's demands, which aren't even like that unreasonable That's not me saying that I oh, I think it's a good idea that they like invaded the country or whatever, but um I don't know it's just it's just silly like if western countries cared about it They would try to find peace as soon as possible because there's not really any reason like this This is a very fake conflict that didn't have to happen It's basically I mean it quite literally is the same thing in a world war two with poland Where western governments encouraged poland To stand up to germany for no reason over things that didn't matter It's like germany had perfectly reasonable requests of poland You know about the danzig corridor and all this kind of stuff But the western like britain and france france were like no no no poland You have to stand up to germany and fight for them and blah blah blah The difference there is when germany invaded poland France and the united kingdom actually declared war on germany, but the u.s. Now are such pansies and they're so fake that they're not even going to declare war on russia Which of course it would be suicidal and world-ending if they did or at least really bad so Um, okay, I'm gonna be right back.  Yeah, it is pathetic And but the irony is I was talking to people about this the other day It is it is really hard to get someone into crypto Without using a kyc exchange because what are you gonna tell them? I mean you could say oh dude just buy this stuff on bisk.  It's not the end of the world I don't I don't think it's good if you can avoid it easily you should but You know it is sad and if the thing you have to remember is if you're using Coinbase gemini any kyc exchange? You do not own bitcoin. You don't own any cryptocurrency. You own a pretend Index fund that's indexed to these crypto values And you have no access to it. You are not using the bitcoin network. Okay, you're not using the software You are using I don't it's it's literally software as a service. That's basically what it is. Okay You're it's software as a service Okay Brunsted said I'm building a fos game. What do you think about games and free software? So Uh now you guys know that I I always talk about how much I hate games And I think people should play less of them or video games Uh, but I will say I do have some opinions on free software video games. Um, that is the direction they should go I will tell you that after I take a swig or a chug of water so, um The thing is People have this tendency to view games Different from all other kinds of software, right? So if you watch the channel, you probably understand the notion of unix Software where all of you know the software you build. They are small Particles that interact You know, they they do different things and they interact with each other and you add them all together for a cohesive environment Okay, the thing with games and this is Totally an artifact of the fact that games are more or less centrally produced by big companies Okay, but games are the opposite of that. They they basically want a standard cinematic experience. They throw big budget Uh game designers and all this complexity on it And really every game they make they are reinventing the wheel in some way, right? A lot of them have totally different engines that aren't related at all You might write your own engine or you might base it off an engine that like doesn't really work or something like that Um, and of course because there are all these proprietary licenses and stuff like that, right? That that's almost a necessity like every company has their own way own engine and way of doing things and You know stuff like that the thing with free software is I think it really has um a big I don't know a big potential in Kind of game building a gaming environment. That's not about making a single game But really about making a gaming environment where you have oh, I'm gonna write this rpg engine Okay, so you it can be used for you know, your your I don't know your standard It could be used for this 3d game or a 2d game or it could be used for like a text game or it could be used for anything It's just an rpg engine, right? Um, or I'm going to do. Oh, you know, I'll have a graphical engine Or I'll have a graphical engine that can be used for a turn-based game. It could be used for you know a kind of Uh game where you're running a platformer 3d platformer, whatever um And the thing is it like if you actually have free and open source software And you have a lot of people working on things that can be much more collaborative, right? Nowadays it would be crazy. I mean, I mean, it's almost inconceivable to think of Oh, here's this development that you know Someone made when they created mario 64 That could be used in other games. No, no, that's a trade secret That's secret like they they don't show people how that works. That's not code. That's publicly available The only people who figure it out are the the people who are speed running the game 30 years later and And figure out how this weird thing works because you know, they have the autism of wanting to shave off two seconds from their personal best You know, um, so I think games have a massive potential In a free software environment if you look at them differently, you got to not look at them as Like you have to be a game designer not for Making a single theatrical game But think about it in terms of making good software that can be generalized to other games And you know, you can really take bits and pieces and put them together Um, and it's easier for people who just I mean and and what when you have an environment of software like this Right, then you can have someone who's not really that good of a programmer Who more or less can take these pieces together and create a story, you know that they can create You know, they can add something on top of that and you can have you know And of course we already live even in the game environment now where everything's proprietary There is already modding and that is a massively popular thing Um, and I think that would be that should really be the norm like that's what people want and that is what you have in free software Okay, um Anyway, I actually kind of thought about doing a video on gaming and stuff like that on this kind of stuff um So jordan, uh says what issue do you have with the tractatus logical philosophicus? I've considered reading it because I have realized language is a very useful weapon that people use to subjugate others Well, that's not really what the tlp is about. I mean the tlp is The well the the main problem I have with it is the foundations. It's based on of I mean the the whole book is like this deductive chain of reasoning Okay, and the thing I have the the issue I have with any of that Is that if you are if you have this long deductive chain of reasoning You have to have everything airtight for it to mean anything because if you get a single grain of sand in the gears Everything means nothing, right? So I think it's it's kind of a dishonest What like people like to look at something like that and think it's like the most hardcore logical way of Um, you know having any like an analysis when in reality it's just playing off of pretense That's my view of it. Uh, and of course vittgenstein came to reject all the stuff in the two kitty. Okay. I'm busy kitty. Come on. All right You know, I learned that you can pick cats up like this I don't know. It's really weird. I I used to think you can only pick kittens up like that But apparently cats don't mind it either. I feel like I'm like choking them or killing them, but Uh, anyway, so I'm the tlp The cat is like the most annoying being in the universe. It's actually my brother's cat So my dad and my brother when I was younger, okay, he brought this cat home. It was a kitten And this is when uh, he was living with our parents Okay, and they were furious. They were like, oh he's bringing home a cat. We're waiting for the other cats to die um So he brought home this cat and like he's never raised it.  It's kind of nasty Anyway, so the TLP What was I saying? Uh, yeah, so but one thing you do say so he says I I considered reading it because I've realized language is a very useful Weapon that people use to subjugate others Way back in the day before I reformatted my website around the time I created a youtube channel I had a really good essay on this and I need to republish it and it's basically An outlight like a list of linguistic techniques primarily that's used by the media To subjugate people like to convince them of things that are untrue And that like they've only become more common like I did this back in like 2015 And this was around when the media like really went off the I don't know just kind of fell off a cliff They they went kind of nuts when uh, donald trump became to be a thing And they would just like there was no lie that was like too shameful for them Or like not even lie like a shameful manipulation So there were there were a couple like presupposition smuggling. That was one of the big one. That's one of the biggest ones Um, there are all these techniques. Anyway, I want to do a video on them because they're they're worth It's worth making people aware of these kind of things because once you see them They're so blatant and they're so it's so obvious what these guys are doing But you know, whatever All right, let me check the xmr donations. Let's see if we got any Okay New linux sent in some xmr. Can you talk a little about how you back up important data your entire setup? How reliable it is? Thank you. Look. Thank you, luke. Um, well, I don't back up stuff as much as I should Uh, I well, I guess all the important stuff I have I have backed up But I will back things up on extra drives that I have and I'll usually use rsync Um And so all my media files and sensitive data, I guess I don't really have that much sensitive data Really trying to think I don't know my my gpg key. Like that's probably the the only thing I really care about losing Um, I guess my passwords, but they're all encrypted in gpg Um, I I do use pass for a lot of things now I've kind of started to use that like I now use different passwords for every account consistently um, so Usually I use rsync just to you know, I'll plug up a drive and I'll Create an rsync script that you know, if a drive is plugged up it'll automatically sync these folders and you know, I'll store the So store the drives in somewhere Somewhere safe but um Yeah, I mean, it's nothing too complicated. You just make copies of things you're afraid to lose Uh, but I should probably make some more um Boning accident sent in some xmr Love your website and videos which got me into xmr in the first place. It's the only coin I hold Should I delete my coinbase account? Also any thoughts on the steam deck? Um, well, yeah, you should delete the your coinbase account. I actually still have my coinbase account um I don't have any money on it, of course but um And I want to say if I I'm trying to think other Exchanges I might have an account too, but I'm not quite sure Uh thoughts on the steam deck literally none, uh, kitty I'm busy I don't really know anything about it, but it's probably just you know proprietary software Working its way into linux and uh more normies getting into linux and mucking it up um Okay Let me uh, let me check the fiat donations if there are any That doesn't look like it. All right. I'll look at the chat for a second Thoughts on discord. Well, I am not confused about my gender. So I don't think positively on discord Um, and it's proprietary software. So I'm not going to use it. So it's pointless. Um What's your diet normal food? Luke buy a sneed deck. Okay. I'll get I'll get that Where's the second get a server setup video? Yeah, I never made that I said that I would make a video setting up stage it Which actually isn't too hard to set up. I mean, it's basically just like a static site generator, but um, It's not really worth it. Um And it wouldn't work for that many people to be honest I did think about doing a video on giddy. Uh, but giddy is like, right giddy. Uh, is that get Is that the soft the self-hosted one? Yeah giddy, uh, or get tea I don't know how to pronounce it.  It's just I don't know it takes up like you have to have a massive You have to have a million cpu's You know a bajillion megs around.  Why don't you buy some drip? Okay Check the xmr Uh, I don't know if I've read it before but hoisting sends in some xmr luke I've been a fan of your work for years now. Have the minero I mined yet last year. Well, thank you hoisting Uh, so is that actually how much minero you make in a year? That's not as much as like I don't know how much I don't know how much minero I'd actually expect um a person minds I I've I've thought about mining minero But I've never had good enough internet to do it until recently But I do feel like it probably would not be economical For me because I just have you know, just some lowly compute. I mean, it's not like you need to nace it for it But what's the difference between minero and pirate chain? So pirate chain Arguably is using better technology than minero. Um, actually not really. I consider it better. So pirate chain uses zero knowledge proofs um to You know obscure where transactions are going and not really obscure to encrypt transactions Um, and that's a big advantage now minero doesn't do that because I think the technology is still kind of new and untested In the the view of the minero team and that's understandable I said on minero talk when I went on that I I really feel like it should move to zero knowledge proofs I mean it already uses it for bullet proofs to like hide transaction amounts Um, but pirate chain So so it uses kind of better technology and there are other things that people say about it like Oh, the pirate chain is theoretically trusted setup and things like this, uh, which is not good very not good um, the the big thing with pirate chain also is that um A huge amount of it was like the distribution of pirate chain Uh in terms of like how quickly it was mined is pretty You know the emission schedule that's what the term i'm looking for um something like 90 percent of minero or uh pirate chain has been mined right And it is it is like a there is a uh fixed supply. It's not like minero that has tail emission So, uh, of course close to all of the original emission of minero has been mined but minero has that constant tail emission afterwards um So anyway, that that's worrisome of pirate chain because it might mean that a small core of developers Have a whole lot of it like they can dump on you pretty easily Uh, and pirate chain is still not a very widely known about currency So that really makes you think that there is something with that But i'm not like against it like I just don't use it. Um, I'm not interested in it that much. I mean you know You know if you like it if you trust it, you know that that's worth it Okay, uh boas sends in two dollars. Um, I might get a book of yours from lindy press But who is this lindy in lindy press? Well, uh, I think it says it in the facts But you know, it's kind of named after the lindy effect And the lindy effect is this idea that Things that have lasted for a long time will continue to last right whereas things that came up last year So let's say tick tock tick tock is a recent invention, right?  So Whatever cultural knowledge we have from two thousand years ago is probably going to be here in two thousand more years Like people are still going to be talking about Aristotle or something like that So that that is the the name behind lindy press So I think I think if you get a book it explains it in the opening page. Oh, okay. Sorry. Okay So I talked about the alchemy reader. I didn't mention the other books. I was going to do So there's the opus thirtium. I think I talked about this is a roger bacon book. This one is in latin Uh, and I'm still I've been Proofreading this for like three freaking months because I get bored of it Uh, so this one might come out But the one that I really that I don't have a physical copy of it's actually in the mail being sent to me But it's closest to completion. I might I might publish this like sometime next week It's called the secret of secrets Or it's sometimes known by its latin word the secretum secretorum. Okay, and it is it's a really cool book It was super it's another one of those things That's like the book of edema etymologies where it was one of the most popular books in the middle ages That nowadays we just sort of kind of forget of but what the secretum secretorum is Is it's supposed to be a book written by Aristotle? To his uh pupil alexander the great now modern scholars will say, oh, it's not actually written by alexander Is probably written by you know, it's either some later greek or an arab or something like that It probably wasn't actually written by Aristotle Either way everyone in the medieval ages and in the arabic world They all took it for granted that this is an Aristotelian book. So what's inside of it? Well nominally it's Aristotle telling alexander how we can rule a country how we should rule a country But it also has that I mean it has such a panoply of different concepts. I mean it has like, uh, You know What's a good daily routine? When should you get up? What should you eat in the morning? What kind of exercises should you do? Uh, what kind of foods or property eaten? What seasons and you know, it talks about the four humors of you know The human body and and how uh, you know, what you can eat if you have feel like this and and cure you there and So it has kind of dietary advice. It has political advice It has kind of magical content like he even has well, you don't necessarily have to think of this as magic It's really like he brews like medicinal medicinal potions and stuff like that Potions sounds magical, but uh, basically like teas and and kind of uh, curals and stuff like that if Oh, you have a fever. You can drink this Um, and of course there is also a recipe for the philosopher stone if you need that Um, so there's it was it was a highly influential book. It actually was influential very much on roger bacon Uh, who wrote on it on numerous occasions But it's it's a really it's actually just a really good to read book. I'm publishing it in english Um, I as time goes on I kind of want to publish more stuff in english Like there are some things that i'm going to publish in latin like the book of etymologies It's published in latin and it's going to stay that way Uh, there's never going to be an english version of that because the book doesn't make sense in english You have to read read it in latin because it's really you know about latin or this there is no english translation out there that I know of Um, definitely not one that's digitized. So you got to get this in latin I'm not going to translate translating is a very difficult thing that takes lots and lots and lots of time and effort That I do not want to expend. Okay, so I will not I will not be doing that So anyway, those are some other books that are coming up Um, I intended to have those out by the end of february, but something some family thing came up. So um, anyway That that ended up not happening, but I will do them shortly so Okay, so many are things still working. I haven't gotten a chat in a little while uh, but um Alrighty, let's see I will look at the normal chat Yeah, another thing in the alchemy reader that is pretty interesting Um, there's a book by roc. So again roger bacon who wrote this Um, there's a little letter that he wrote that I'm including the alchemy reader No, they marked on my pages. That's interesting Um, it's actually called on the nullity of magic or sometimes the non-existence of magic And it was kind of interesting when I read it because well, it's him actually saying he of course does not consider alchemy magic Uh, he considers You know mediums and stuff like that magic alchemy is real science Um, but he actually I remember in this passing remark. He said something about oh, yeah I knew a guy who created a flying machine and stuff like this So he talks about all this I don't know kind of interesting stuff And I think he mentions like submarines and stuff as an idea um Anyway, all right check the chat thoughts on choosing a major at college, uh, I would recommend dropping out Or math If you have to be in there So david says, uh, do you think bitcoin atms are good and worthwhile? Apparently my state has regulations that make local bitcoins and packs full illegal But there is a bitcoin atm near me They make him elite. So, okay. Here's the thing about Local bitcoins illegal So that that is a very silly thing. It is a peer-to-peer transaction, right? You can meet someone on craigslist and transact with them. Okay, you can you can meet a random guy I mean, it's like saying that if you give someone 20 dollars, it's illegal so If you're I I'm wondering what state you're in for that to even be a thing I guess maybe california. I don't know um But realistically speaking this is not me telling you to violate the law But you could very easily violate that law, right? It's not a it's not a very enforceable law unless the government is literally putting people out there Uh Pretending to buy or sell bitcoin and meeting people on local bitcoin so they can entrap them Uh, I also don't know what packs full is Is that is that some exchange that I don't know of packs full?  Yeah, I've never heard of that. That's weird Okay. Yeah, I'll look into that. It's weird. It's weird. I've never heard of that. Um, so bitcoin atms They uh, I mean a lot of them that they're they're a mixed bag because there are some bitcoin atms Where you just exchange your bitcoin for money or vice versa and that's it But a lot of bitcoin atms now are basically kyc. You got to Take a picture of your id and give us your social security number.  Maybe there's some other country that like I feel I feel like that is not something you can make illegal in america Because it's not really something you can make illegal. I mean, yeah, you can make it illegal Like you can say you can't give someone 20 dollars if they send you bitcoin, right? But is that enforceable? I don't really I mean that that's the whole point of using a peer-to-peer exchange like Hypothetically if the government declared bitcoin software illegal You could still have in and off ramps to use it because like peer-to-peer regulation is still difficult, right? I mean the same concept is like there are still people who Even the mail the mail is theoretically run by the federal government, right? But there's a sense and like there are lots of people who send illegal stuff via mail, right? Um, because no one is like checking it. Okay, it's it's basically you just sending someone else something, right? Um, and you know, that's where a lot of this illegal stuff online. Like if someone buys drugs Um, a lot of them will just ship it to your house, right or whatever address, you know, you Need or whatever, but All right, let's see. What is your opinion on vox day and oan bingerman? Well, those are two very different people Um vox day, I had never I mean, I've probably heard the name But I I want to say I only kind of looked at his stuff. Maybe late last year I kind of read his blog and some of it's kind of nice. Um You know, no big impression of him Oan bingerman. I think is really funny.  Uh, but you know, I I don't know that much of either of them but Okay, I don't think if there's anything else that I need to talk about there's there's a video I want to record There are always some things I don't want to do on talk about on live streams because I in Torah I intend to record videos on them, but I will go ahead and say that later this year I Really want to move to physical servers more. In fact, I might kind of make my own server farm in town Um, where I can run stuff for myself and other people Um Yeah, that's right. Find the most annoying place to sit. Um So if anyone has any recommendations as to what hardware I should get if I'm going to have like a server rack Uh, what are good? functioning but still economical ways of of You know having some Servers, you know, if I want to host websites, mainly I mean, I this is all going to be web stuff One thing I really want to do is I want to host a btc pay server That is something I really want Because I want to be able again My goal is to be all using all cryptocurrency and stuff like that and it would be very nice to have my own bitcoin node kind of thing Um, and a bit btc pay if you don't know what it is. It's basically a payment processor um Where it's not just a bitcoin node kind of thing But it you can have pointers it gives you point of sale stuff like you can interface it with other software I want to use it on lindy press Right where people can just send in bitcoin or bitcoin via the lightning network and it works with other uh cryptos as well It has an xmr plugin, which I expect to use as well for that And I was actually thinking about You know, if that works well, I may actually just go to businesses in town and see if they're interested You know in Using my btc pay server if they want to accept bitcoin or something like that Because that would be something pretty easy to do And I think there are actually ways of making if I wanted to rip people not rip people off But you know if I wanted to have a pay You know allow them to pay to use it I don't think I might just want to do it for free. But um, you know, I think that it has a way of like you can Charge people to use it like charge some fee. So that might be an option as well to make money So that's something for people to think about btc pay. So if anyone has had uh experience with that tell me about that Um, uncle tad sent in some xmr. Did elon solve the whole ukrainian crisis with the The delivery of all the soylink terminals You know, my pastor actually told me about that today. I wasn't even I he's always doing publicity stuff But uh, I mean it does one thing that I can say of all the negative things I can say There are two positive things I can say about soylink. One is that it works Two is that it would probably work for even the dumbest people on the planet So you can literally just plug it in In a power outlet and it will work and that You know that congratulations, you know the congratulations elon um So yeah, I mean It you can actually send a bunch to some country Hey, look, please do more mythical history stuff from a big-brained perspective a thorough debunk re-bunk of fingerprints of the gods would be kino Yeah, I have some stuff to say about gram Hancock. I um I would not say like I It's a mixed bag. Okay. Like I think he says a bunch of crap Like I think but I will say over the years like if you look at his direction He has gone from basically believing anything he finds interesting to he's much more grounded Now and he has he says some pretty sensible stuff, although You know, I think I think it's what what's his name randolph randolph carlson. Is that his name? randolph carlson who's put him on the path of light Although you can't trust him. He's a freemason uh Luca have you heard of spore stack if you don't know what it is. It's an accountless api driven vps hosting for bitcoin bitcoin cash bitcoin sv and minero well depending on how I mean, I I want to host things myself I will just say that that's that's why I want to buy physical servers. Oh and when I said Send me advice on that. I meant sent my email that if you if you're posting it in the chat I will probably not see it. So please send me and if you are familiar with hosting web servers Okay, send me messages about it and I'll go ahead and tell you what I need Again, I'll probably do a video on this separately to get more more views on it, but um Uh, what was I gonna say?  So I have two cores on that And of course, I need a lot of attachable storage, but you know, that's to be expected um And I need a good bit of memory not that much memory, but I just need to be able to scale things up. So Well, I'm actually glad the live stream is working this time Uh, how how how's the video and audio? I'm hoping everything is is good now, but Uh, I'm gonna check something on song Yeah, I think me doing it on a lower resolution screen like my physical computer is actually a whole lot better um As opposed to like the the monitor What are your thoughts on docker?  It makes it hard to troubleshoot things I mean if I knew docker better, it would probably be less of a problem But just in general, I find it very frustrating to use and I think it's definitely overused for Like most people like most simple things do not need a docker installation I will just say like the things that I put on landshad.net Host your own this host your own that Really, none of those need docker.  Uh, pluroma or something. You don't need docker for that and docker is going to make your life miserable um, there are like it because I I say this because um, a lot of the times I will talk about how much I hate virtualization and stuff and people will be like well all vpses have virtualization and What you want like an individual computer for now? Listen, dude I'm talking about for people like me for people like the people who watch my channel Uh docker and all that kind of stuff containerization virtualization is just like it's frustrating And it's unnecessary and unless you're some kind of Systems administrator who is doing things that are very you know all this complicated provisioning and stuff. It's not it's not really for you um What are your thoughts on deism? It's gay Yeah, I still never figured out on the lag issue What was going wrong with the uh ff impeg stream?  I looked back at that And I was like this is totally unwatchable So I needed to like not do streams like that.  I think I it might be I who knows what it is, but It as long as it's contained and it's not too crazy. So I'll I'll clap. Let's see how off it is Okay, see that's not too bad or at least not it's not too bad on my screen okay Can confirm docker's pain and suffering So it has in dev ops reading hard. Well Um, can I get an iv drip of soylent so I can stay in the metaverse all day? Uh Do you get your water from a well? Yes, I do Of course, it's not like an old world, you know, lower the bucket well, but I do have a well And like everyone out here has an electric well That's just how it is You probably know that when you ask that but I just feel like there are a lot of people who don't Who who have just been on city water their whole life? I have my own well The only thing you got to worry about your own well. Oh a couple things. I have a water softener Because the water that comes out of my well is kind of murky So you got to have a water softener And the only thing upkeep with that is I have to put a bunch of solar salts in there Every six months or so And that'll cost maybe 40 dollars, but um Eventually the wells all wells run dry eventually and you never really know when that's going to happen But when it does I'm going to have to pay 20 000 to get a new well dug And then if they miss or if they don't know where the water is I'm going to have to pay 20 000 more dollars So that is the one annoying thing. Maybe I should move to a rain catchment system. That's what I should do That would probably be better Um It does rain enough to that Okay, uncle ted again sent in a little more xmr running servers Uh super micro sells decent commodity servers that run everything and you won't get cucked by hb del etc I will write that down super micro Super micro okay, okay You talked about video games earlier. Do you still have those pc games and Nintendo 64 games on your pc. No, that was just a proof of concept I don't have I don't have the mp the mpc the n 64 games um on my computer or What pc games that I have I don't try to remember The only pc game I ever remember playing recently when I say recently I mean like within the past five years Is uh the dark mod. I don't know if you've ever heard of that It's like a a modern version of the old thief games uh, it was kind of nice and it's it actually is a good example of partially what I was talking about before when I don't I think it's entirely free software, but um The game itself is really just an engine and the game I really people make plots for it and they make like a levels for it And I think like the amount of gameplay that's in the original game is very small It's like a couple missions. So it's mostly a a user defined game um Luke Smith is a nintendo 64 gamer confirmed I remember you doing a deus x stream. Yeah, I did do that. That was years years ago Maybe that's within five years Um, but you know, I don't like that is the only time I've played it Uh, you know, I did it for show just to do it On my computer. See the me streaming that worked well. Why is it that like streaming? Just my screen is working less well than that. That's what I'm wondering In fact, I may have been using the x200 which is even a You know a more primitive computer, right? All right, it's getting close to my bedtime Actually is way past my bedtime. It's almost midnight here. So David says same guy from before What I mean is I tried to sign up on packs full and local bitcoins to send using bank transfer They themselves ban all accounts from new york, washington and other places due to some legislation Did not yet try in person try. Yeah, those sites Again, I'm not going to tell you to violate the law because you shouldn't violate the law, but like, you know, if you don't need Like identification You can just say oh, I'm in el Salvador or something like that Or you can meet someone in pennsylvania, and it would probably be legal anyway Don't ask me, but it would probably be I mean, it's not it's not like you're a slave of new york So you could trade, you know, if you live new you new If you live near new york city, for example, you know, you're right next to new jersey So you could easily just you know go over there, but I don't know where you're I don't know your situation But yeah, I do know that and I want to say not just local bitcoins. I want to say Maybe local cryptos says if you're in america, you can't Transact here, but the other thing about that is hypothetically again hypothetically not telling you To violate your local ordinances or whatever, but um that all that is only really relevant if you're doing an in-person trade Um in the sense that it's only enforceable.  You know Well, I guess I guess you could have a new york bank. So I don't know. I don't know how they do that But I anyway to my point before my point was this more peer-to-peer stuff Like it is local bitcoins. That's just trying to be nice and comply with them. Um It is not the kind of thing that they could really enforce if local bitcoins was not just like afraid of being shut down in new york like the website so Or being sued or something like that Stephen says what are your thoughts on silent prayer or as the buddhist call meditation Does god know our hearts in silence without spoken language? Yes, of course um Of course, I'm not a buddhist, but uh, yeah, I mean silent prayer Although a lot of the times it's it's better to vocalize uh prayer if it's uh I feel like especially if it's it's if you're repeating the say if you're doing like a Jesus prayer I don't know. Hail Mary. Whatever you're doing Like a repetitive prayer I feel like it's a little weird to repeat that in your head Like I feel like you you have to kind of say it under your breath I don't know. It just feels weird not to do that. Um But that's just my but yeah, of course, of course still applies if you don't say it Um So now that you have soiling does this mean no cabin streams. Yeah, I did one cabin stream and that I you know and that that was all I guess I needed so Now I could just do one for my real house. Okay, I think it's kind of low energy that I'm looking at the picture now I wasn't looking at my image before and it looked kind of low energy because I was like looking down Like you it was like this In in comparison to the uh camera. So now I'm gonna I'm gonna have a more direct view So Yeah, this is much more now. I probably should have done this from the beginning actually I think in a lot of other live streams I I have put the webcam on my laptop as opposed to the monitor but I think it's a little more natural Now that I do it Are you a raw milk enthusiast? Yeah. Yeah, I drink a raw milk There's a dairy around here that sells they sell raw milk and they also sell non homogenized milk Which I really like they're non homogenized milk I mean call me cucked for drinking anything pasteurized, but I just it is pasteurized They just don't homogenize it which basically means they keep the chunks in it. Okay, and the chunks and milk Oh, that sounds gross. Oh chunks and milk nasty. No, that's because you've never tried it I mean it's it's so much, but it tastes better. It's just I don't know whatever it's it's good It's good stuff. So um So I will drink that And it's just lots of fun. That's all I gotta say about that Brian sent in some Monero love the videos just wondering Uh, when you're gonna do a video on testosterone. Well, it's not just testosterone, but kind of hormonal warfare in general That might be worth talking about. Um Just like I don't I don't know like every everything that people do nowadays is Kind of debilitates them hormonally including staying up late, which is why I need to go to bed in a in a bit Um, you know, you should you should basically rise when the sun rises I always do like it doesn't matter if I go to sleep at like five or well Sun is basically rising then but if I go to bed at like 3 a.m. Hypothetically, which never happens But if I do I will wake up when the sun rises. I I still will um But yeah, like everything Basically everything about modern society, whether it's staring at screens or not getting a good rest or having a phone That is radiating your testicles at all times or not getting sunlight. Therefore vitamin D Which is hormonally active and you know increases your testosterone level like literally everything Coordinates to make you like low tea. It is kind of funny Even even plastics like growing up using plastics or drinking from plastic water bottles Oh, they have zinester. You know, they cause zinestrogens in your body Um, so yeah, it is kind of nutty, but I mean you you can look at other people for that I I don't know if that's really my cup of tea the things that I talk about. I might I might talk about that, but you know um Oh man, you know Livestream viewers will always know, you know, it's a long live stream if I start scratching my nose I don't know why There's something about talking for a prolonged period. It just makes me want to scratch. It's just like this one part right here I just gotta scratch simple answer homogenized and pasteurized milk slowly kills you. Yeah, I mean Like non raw milk is basically like sugar water. Oh, I I don't want to say that whole milk Well, skim milk is like sugar water.  It's literally just take just take It literally is getting tap water and putting milk flavor inside of it. That's what it is It has no nutrition. Okay. No, no saturated fats. No, no nothing Okay, the stuff that you need the stuff that you actually need Like saturated fats and cholesterol the things that they're they're actually healthy that people relentlessly Shill against which by the way cholesterol also if you have low cholesterol, you're gonna have low tea um But uh Yeah Don't fall for those memes. So raw milk is um Not any different like a lot of people are for oh my goodness. It's raw.  There was all this bacteria. No, it's just not gonna just just drink it. It's gonna be fine Or if you want to get people into raw food, you can do it that way you can get them in the milk That's the first thing that they'll drink a little bit of and they'll realize. Okay. I didn't die but also eggs Like um, because in fact, there are a lot of normies. I know who like will eat eggs raw Like I've seen people who you know put one in a glass or blend it up or something That's not something irregular. But you know, uh, and if if they eat, you know a raw egg And you know, then you can get a more at like, okay, what about what about this? What about a steak that's like this rare or something like that but Thoughts on almond milk, uh beyond cucked and of course it shouldn't be called milk Uh, what are your thoughts on lactose intolerance as a milk chad? Uh, well, I feel bad for people who are lactose intolerant Um, but you know, that's that's the cards that a lot of people are dealt and if you can't digest it I mean like milk is like a cheat code almost because it is like If you drink some good raw milk raw milk or even whole milk, right? It's near it can be nearly a meal replacement Like it's it's a great way of getting lots of nutrition In just like one easy swig, you know So it is kind of like a cheat code. It is. I mean, there's a reason Indo-Europeans expanded. They were so successful, right? But you know, what what can you do if you can't drink it? That that's how it is with some people I will say that if you go a long time without drinking milk Even if you are someone who's genetically, you know, for example, I can of course drink milk However, if I go a long time without drinking it or having dairy products The next time I drink it, uh, I will feel it's a little hard to digest or something. You can kind of feel it All right But that you know, that's normal like And you know, you might be someone who's kind of on the verge of I can sort of digest that are sort of not and you might be able to acclimate yourself to it more, but you know People are different like if if I mean real milk is kind of a white people thing like There are other races that can I mean if you have like Indo-European ancestry You can usually digest milk or a lot of pastoral people Historically pastoral people will have the ability to digest milk, but you know, if you're Chinese Tough luck, I don't know. Sorry, dude. Hey, I mean you guys have perks too Like there's there's something like I think I did this in I mentioned this in one of my not related episodes, but Um, like they're something like a third of Chinese people do not have body odor. They don't produce it It's just that's just how they are, you know They're perks to everything Okay, so I looked at the youtube chat. I've not been looking at super chats if there have been super chats I'm sorry for not responding to them, but I see one now Marco Says what are your thoughts on nfts and web 3? Um, do they not have any use case or do they have potential? Um, I am absolutely sure that nfts will have a use but they are definitely not useful now I do not see any use for them right now. They're just kind of like a funny thing a web 3 Uh That could be anything really I mean Web 3 it depends on what you you mean by that like it's more like a buzzword like people don't really uh, oh shoot Oh oops hold on um Like if you if you had something specific or concrete you're asking about that like I can respond to it But like that is such a catch-all term for a million different things and like oh Defy or like the ethereum and stuff like that like it could be many many things right? Oh the stream's current bit rate is higher than the recommended. Okay, I didn't actually see that I guess I'm sorry guys my sit my Stream is too high quality for youtube Well, it's good that it's been working.  Okay. It looks like there was another super chat that I may missed I think it was like for two dollars.  That's why youtube like just sucks Remember kids if you actually want to donate over there donate or Shoot, I'm trying to get the right angle xmr dot luke smith that x y z I love that the Monero thing is actually working. So I don't erica. I don't know if you're watching this But your software is working great. It's working fantastic um And you will know that like I have a notification that comes up when someone donates It can also show the entire message But I didn't want to do that yet because you know Someone could say the gamer word a million times and that would be problems for youtube So I was like, I'll hide the comments on the stream, but you know, maybe next time He said that he does want to have some kind of um Word filter like if you want to filter out words like if you want to be youtube safe And you know, you don't want to make the gender confused mods Mad Uh, you can omit words and you know that like you might say that's cucked But that is something useful And realistically speaking it's a good way of filtering out spam too. Um, well, actually, you know, you're less likely to get spam in any kind of Super chat because people are not going to want to spend money to spam usually So all right Where did I put the there is YouTube captions actually working on a live stream, but it censored the word retarded That that's one of the craziest thing the fact that they they have they're forcing the word retarded to be a bad word Now that's something that's happened Really they began meaning that when I was a kid Like you can't say this word for whatever like what are you supposed to say instead instead? Now just people say this like passive aggressive stuff.   It was like a nonprofit or like he volunteered Or there's something and it was something like the Uh Atlanta or retards association or something like that, which you know back in the 70s or whatever That was a perfectly sensible name to name something now. It's like you're being helped. I don't know You're saying the equivalent of the gamer word That actually is another the idea that the gamer word that you can't even say it, you know Um Stephen says do you think technology is generally holy or satanic? I mean, it's neutral But there are some technologies which necessarily have an impact on things just inevitably um, so Yeah, I mean, it's not like one like technology is a very broad category It's a word we have that describes many things that are not really related Okay, so it's a shovel. I mean a shovel is technology tick tock is also technology Okay, so I wouldn't call us shovel satanic. I would be more likely to say that tick tock is satanic um, but you know what what is ultimately satanic is when someone a human it is ripped out from his natural Place where he is put in a place psychologically Spiritually where he cannot make good moral decisions, right?  I don't know suggestible and things like that. Yeah, that's satanic But technology itself it I mean it's neutral. You could say it's neutral, right? um So Monero of course nominally the stream is about Monero and it started we did talk about Monero and stuff like that um You know in our world right now Monero is actually highly based in redpilled because it it's basically the people who are being Oppressed by the financial system politically speaking They they're the people who are more likely to be I don't know based in redpilled, right? Where as you know, if we lived in an alternate reality Where um, I don't know. We had a financial system that looks something like this, but it was like run by some I don't know Sane government that only censored Pornographers or something like that more an auger more an auger fee Monero would actually be you know pretty cringe because it would be You know empowering coomers and stuff like that um So the technology itself is neutral, but the the situation that it's in can be good or bad or or something like that um But you know my view is that uh You in the case of technology, you know, do we want to use free software? Do we want to use good crypto currencies and stuff like that? I think the best strategy for everything is to fight Like fight for good neutral technologies that don't systematically undermine people Um and you know still never become too reliant on them one thing that I don't want Um is I don't want so-called hyper bit coinization hyper maneroization even Um, I don't want us to live in a place where we have to use these technologies Okay, they're nice. They're nice things to have But we don't want to be overly reliant on them, right? We don't I do I do not want a cashless society Okay, uh, I want a society where we have an option of using a hard cryptocurrency But you know, I would like us to be able to pay in silver or something as well I think that's a pretty sensible thing Um Stephen says what are your thoughts on milk? I basically just gave my thoughts on milk Um, uh, I drink I drink a lot of milk. I drink, um, if if you don't stop me I mean, well if I go to the grocery store and get milk I will come back with multiple gallons and if you don't stop me. I'll probably drink a gallon a day Uh, I usually hold myself off at you know, half a gallon Uh, and I'll go days without drinking it, but I I drink it. It's really my default drink aside from water in a jar Um, because a lot of times especially when I'm working on something It can be a meal equivalent, right because you're getting enough nutrition from milk That you can basically just drink it not have to worry about cooking yourself something So I think it's very nice very useful Um, and yeah, I I usually drink either raw or non homogenized milk Or actually if anyone asks I get the raw milk for my calves Quote unquote. That's what that's what the carton says for calves only Wink My calves really love it um So jacob says to the people considering college don't bother our campus had to apologize today for handing out hawaiian lays for an event because of cultural appropriation Do yourself a favor and avoid these joke institutions at all costs and they're becoming more and more clown colleges Actually clout real clown colleges are less clowny than non clown clown college, right? No Colleges are now more clowny than clown colleges and clown colleges are less clowny than colleges. That's What I tried to say Yeah, colleges like have gotten so much tangibly worse Just in the time that I was in them because you know, I went to college my first year in college was 2008 that was back when obama was running for president And uh, just to see the disjoint between that and you know, I was in college for a long time getting all these degrees So I ended up in it as well when orange boomer got elected too and just to see like the Mental decay that happened in those people like the cult like I don't know. It is a cult like when I I always tell people when I started my phd program at arizona It was like I I had walked into this cult. It was like these people were on this Bizarre religious experience and they were all like in this cabal together like literally they literally like plotted things and Had secret meetings of how to do these specific political things and and to like harm people who they Suspected dissent from and like it was just bizarre Just to see this happen That like things are nuts and they've gotten they were nuts then and they've gotten worse And a lot of people are still trying to hold on to college. Oh, well, I needed a degree for this or Oh, well, I'm in math and things aren't as bad and I'm in physics and things aren't as bad and while you Just wait Never bet on a college. It's never gonna work. I don't care how based college is. I mean, if you go to hillsdale, that's great That's great. I hear they're very nice. I hear they're much better than the other ones But if you are in an institution that is Funded by the american government to propagandize people it will do what they're paid to do Okay, these are brainwashing institutions. What do you think they're gonna do?   They don't try to attract them. They want people who are most Pliable who will go in and they have nothing to lose because they hate their family.  Okay, those are the kind of people that graduate programs want Those are the kind of people that colleges want and if they don't get enough of them They will try their damnedest to create people like that because that is what college programs do Uh, so yeah, that that's that's how they are. That's just how they are. They're getting worse. Okay Oh, I know things are oh your colleges different and hey listen, there are smaller colleges I said when I started my phd Um the college I went to there it was like a cult now the one I went to my AMA at it was much better Like it was not like that part of it was because this is the pre-orange boomer area where people weren't quite as I don't know. They they didn't quite care about some things as much. They were like, oh, we don't have to worry about this We don't have to be psychotic all the time um but You know a lot of it has to do like the the more grandiose the larger the college will be The worst it will be the higher like the more harvard yale stanford like the more bigger names They will be most crazy now. Hey, maybe you're a community college They're hey, there are many community colleges out there that are okay places that have That have professors that are fine people But I am just telling you that by don't even bet on those do not do not Expect, you know 10 years down the line for them to be fine and all everyone I have no intention of sending any of my children to college whatsoever And I hope you are not planning for that.  Just have a house fund buy a house for your kid instead because college degrees cost just as much Okay, so anyway, that's college uh 200 rubles from uh, uh, nick miss nickta Didn't almost use soap on my hair since summer. My hair is fine. Shampoo is a scam. Yeah, I agree with that Well, you know, I don't use shampoo either way But oh, actually this transaction is probably legal because illegal now because it's like rubles or I assume RUB is rubles. I'm not quite sure but Good to know that youtube is still transacting with, uh, you know, russian currencies Uh Is ruby rubal? I'm just gonna assume that it is. Yeah, um, but when it comes to that, uh People definitely do over shampoo.  Yeah, luffa. So it's some kind of abrasive to scratch You know, uh Shoot I would show you mine. Actually, I'm gonna put that cat outside and I'll show you what I use All right, kitty. Come on. Come on kitty This is what you use So soap is overused you really shouldn't use soap every day Uh, because you don't really need like soap. It just drives you out I don't know. It's it's bad for you. Hormonally Check this out. All you do exfoliates you Cleans you you don't need to use soap every day because you don't stink that much every day Actually, this will help you stink less and I actually on that I mean most of the time you don't even stink. There's just a mild smell Just just a mild.  It's just like that's my smell And that's a normal thing. The thing is people now they detect any kind of odor from themselves Even when it's not a bad odor and they're like, oh, let me, you know rub, you know Soap all over me and stuff like that.  I will use soap and I will just None of that none of the no washcloths none of that stuff Um Okay, D. White says there is something so Indescribably depraved about tiktok so much of it is private thoughts that should be kept private But people are broadcasting it to the world. Yeah. I mean, that's how a lot of it is one funny thing about tiktok and all this kind of crap is uh So I have some relatives that uh are like school teachers like elementary school teachers like You know teaching, I don't know kids whatever And it's actually funny how Sexualized children are with like the lgpd lgbt stuff Okay, which we can't talk too much about on youtube, but I will just tell the tell you this I have a relative who has third graders. Maybe fourth grader. I think it's third graders though and he will like confiscate notes Okay About like these third grade girls talking about how they're like Polyamorous and like how the you know Oh, I'm I'm by and like all this kind of crap like here are these kids That don't know anything about anything like, you know I don't know how you were when you were in third grade when I was in third grade I wasn't even quite sure like I didn't really know that like boys and girls have different parts You know what I mean Uh, actually, I guess you know a lot of these kids They don't really understand that boys and girls have different parts, but you know um so It's so in part of this is tiktok stuff right because a lot of these kids they get on tiktok And there's all this stuff. There's all the Brainwashing the the sexual brainwashing stuff Uh, which is now being marketed to like very little young kids, right?   None of this existed. It wasn't a thing Um, and you know it is actually depressing even people my age, which things weren't as bad when I you know when I I was Their age or whatever but um, like the people I've met in my life who like boys and girls who started watching pornography and like elementary school or something and and just the rest is history and you know It's almost like they get set on this path that they refuse to take themselves off of And it always leads to the same place leads to to to their entire everything they live and breathe is about cooming, right? The politics of cooming the pleasure of cooming Everything is about I I need to be able to coom without any kind of you know, any kind of repercussions, right? That that's the entire Thing and that's when it starts like stuff like tick tock um And it will says you need Something to remove the dead skin skin and bacterial growth If not the skin mites will continue to grow and cause fungal issues soap is not needed, but you need a cleaning oil Avoid sls phone Yep I watched south park in third grade and now i'm here. Well south park is nothing in comparison to the kind of stuff that could see now Remember when you were a kid and you thought that south park was like funny Or was it ever funny? It really was it like I remember Um, I want to say in high school. I watched episodes of south park and it's like I'm gonna download the whole thing and I'll watch them all and I just remember Starting to watch through them and it's just like every single one of them It's just like there were a couple funny episodes that there were like one or two funny episodes That like probably if I watch them now I'd find them really stupid But you know Stephen says this year my wife and I are growing our first garden from seeds any crop recommendations. It depends on where you live So one thing that I've become obsessed with okay that I think I'm gonna grow this year. I'm gonna show you the can of it Uh, so you may see these in stores. Okay So maybe you italians know better Okay, but when it comes to italian food now, I cannot use any kind of sauce that is not made of a tomato that is uh Not this right wait, that was too many knots san marzano tomatoes. Okay once I discovered these I love these so much Okay That and these these are like when you look up a oh, this is how you actually make this dish, right? Online they'll they'll always tell you to use these tomatoes and most normies most amaro boomers are just gonna be like I'm just gonna use tomatoes, right? But these are better. Okay Uh, so tomatoes one thing I realized uh is that tomatoes grow Like you get a lot of output for the little input with them At least where I am. Okay. I might be you know lower latitude than you I might be warmer um And tomatoes are not the kind of thing I like buying at the store because they're always expensive and I never eat as much as I want like I can never buy the right amount.  I want and actually more So I want uh, but I was just I forget what varieties I was planting It was not this but I got seeds for this and I will be planting these so I do not have to buy them. This can Costs like four dollars. It's ridiculous. It's insane But these are good like I can't I can't go back to normal tomatoes. So that's one thing I do um Any kind of potatoes or sweet potatoes? Um Just because you get so many calories from them They're good to have like you can do anything with potatoes and sweet potatoes like you can make fries You can make mashed potatoes. You can make all kinds of casseroles and all these other dishes You need potatoes and sweet potatoes onions Absolutely, like really like when it comes to gardens, a lot of people will plant very obscure stuff Okay, oh here are all these random herbs that no one really is like I when I plant stuff I want basics. I want I want to be able to like feed Feed myself, right? So potatoes sweet potatoes. Those are big things yams if you like them Okay, sweet potatoes.  Those are really the only things that I need to plant Those are the only things I like in terms of produce. I really buy from the store The well, I guess It would be nice. I've never planted them But maybe carrots and celery so I can make mirepoix, you know like for making broth And stuff because you usually cut up Carrots and celery and onions and put them together and they usually call that mirepoix It's the French word or whatever. I don't exactly know what it means in French But you know, maybe it's just the word for that But that's what and then you cook uh, you you heat up Chicken or beef or whatever and that's how you make broth all in that kind of stuff, but And it real says companion crops slash farming is the best way um Nikita says, uh, we do commit a bit of transaction. La la la la la Okay Do people put up with cats because they are funny? I mean cats are really just like kind of decorations They're kind of like or they're kind of like Uh, fidget cubes You know like you've never seen a fidget cube where people just play with them. It's the same thing with the cat They're just decorations. You like pet them They're oh, it's nice. Oh, it makes this Sound. Oh, wow, it's cute And cats of course are evolved to look cute, right? We look at them. Oh, wow, it's so cute But they really are literally the most annoying beings you can possibly think of they make lots of noise And when they want to get cozy with you, let's say a cat likes you. What does it do?  Oh, yeah, oh sure. I mean I I think cats are cute Look at the cute kitty like I you know if I see a stray cat like oh the poor cat, you know Like I feel for it But I also acknowledge that these things are parasites like they're they're the most I don't know.  They're they're like, um I'm talking about cats in the same way that like in cells talk about women, you know It's like they they hate they hate that uh They can manipulate them. You know what I mean That's how I feel about them And dogs are just kind of dumb You need to go to bed Because it's past midnight and I know I said earlier it's very important for people to get to bed on time So, um, anyway, thank you everyone who tried at the xmr donations. That was really great. I'm glad to see this is working We got a you know at least 10 maybe 15 of them So, uh, I will definitely be using this in Live streams in the future. So here's my recommendation Go get some Monero Okay, uh, so you can participate next time, but really for you that I mean you you get a couple hundred bucks in it And you can send me two of it. Okay, if you want in the next live stream, okay So do it for you get some of that get your friends Get your friends into crypto not well. I shouldn't say crypto Don't don't you know into good stuff into bitcoin Monero in a private wallet for which you have the seed Um, the or the seed for which you have said that backwards Um So do yourself a favor there We're we're we're gonna move forward to the future. Anyway, Eric if you're watching this again Your your software worked great and I will probably be using it more in the future So, uh, yeah, that's about it. I'm gonna turn this thing off and just write it two hours Well, maybe I should uh, hold on. I'm gonna double check just in case I missed the journey Oh, look, there is no that's an email. That's not a donation Uh, all right, that's about it. I'm turning this off


Grape pumice is studied as a natural source of dyes for textile dyeing, with the optimized dyeing process involving a temperature of 100 degrees celsius, time of 55 minutes, and pH 8. The resulting dyed cotton also reduces chemical oxygen demand, COD, and biological oxygen demand, BOD, 5 in the dye bath.
