Life's Illusions and the Power of Self-Discovery

WEBVTT

00:00:00.777 --> 00:00:05.717
Peace, peace, everybody. I just cross Koya Blue. Hope everybody doing all right. It's June.

00:00:06.357 --> 00:00:09.897
We got to June very fast. I mean, I look up and it's already June.

00:00:10.017 --> 00:00:11.037
I don't even know what happened.

00:00:11.217 --> 00:00:15.197
I'm like, dang, it was just May. So time is flying by.

00:00:15.617 --> 00:00:17.637
Might be something going on in the universe. I don't know.

00:00:18.897 --> 00:00:22.557
But today I want to talk about life, man. I mean, I've been,

00:00:22.797 --> 00:00:27.157
I guess you could say, on my own research journey about a lot of things.

00:00:27.157 --> 00:00:31.297
And I've been seeing a lot of people sick from something called long COVID,

00:00:31.317 --> 00:00:34.017
which I'm not going to talk much about that today.

00:00:34.217 --> 00:00:37.317
That's going to be on another another show. But if you don't know what long

00:00:37.317 --> 00:00:39.277
COVID is, please look it up.

00:00:39.457 --> 00:00:44.617
You know, it's basically after you catch COVID, the symptoms just linger on.

00:00:44.777 --> 00:00:49.077
Because remember, COVID is a it's like it gets into your joints and stuff is

00:00:49.077 --> 00:00:51.117
not just a cold where you just OK.

00:00:51.117 --> 00:00:53.897
You know some people it can get

00:00:53.897 --> 00:00:56.977
into their joints and stuff and they notice it if you're if

00:00:56.977 --> 00:00:59.797
you're aware of yourself and a lot of doctors don't

00:00:59.797 --> 00:01:03.157
really know about it so that's a whole nother thing but I am

00:01:03.157 --> 00:01:05.877
going to do a conversation about that I might have a guest that has

00:01:05.877 --> 00:01:08.937
long COVID I'm also dealing with long COVID but I'm not

00:01:08.937 --> 00:01:11.977
going to talk about that today but do look that up because that's another issue

00:01:11.977 --> 00:01:15.197
that's causing problems so I just

00:01:15.197 --> 00:01:18.017
feel like we live on a freaking floating rock in the middle of

00:01:18.017 --> 00:01:20.737
space and we're paying all these bills got these taxes you got

00:01:20.737 --> 00:01:23.557
all this stuff going on and everything's essentially made up

00:01:23.557 --> 00:01:26.357
you know I know a while back a Harvard grad told me well

00:01:26.357 --> 00:01:29.037
no it's it's a certain way it's a reason for this and a reason

00:01:29.037 --> 00:01:33.377
for that I mean there's no reason I mean everything's made up you know I'm saying

00:01:33.377 --> 00:01:36.457
if you said the banana was a way of currency the banana's gonna be way of currency

00:01:36.457 --> 00:01:40.977
it's just what it is they created a construct and we're in it until everybody

00:01:40.977 --> 00:01:44.477
sit down and decide not to do it we're gonna be in it so that's just it is what

00:01:44.477 --> 00:01:47.717
it is but how can we navigate our way through this.

00:01:48.197 --> 00:01:53.717
I mean right now you got a lot of people losing jobs and it hurts you know you

00:01:53.717 --> 00:01:56.697
you've been at a company for all these years you got all these degrees whatever

00:01:56.697 --> 00:02:02.617
the case is and the experience and you get laid off you try to get back out there then you.

00:02:03.865 --> 00:02:07.585
It's not a lot of good jobs, you know, or you got to chuck and jive.

00:02:07.705 --> 00:02:10.645
You got to be an influencer just to get a job now.

00:02:10.805 --> 00:02:14.025
You know, at one point, you know, if you're trying to be an influencer,

00:02:14.285 --> 00:02:19.625
a brand, whatever, it was just about trying to get movies or trying to get brand

00:02:19.625 --> 00:02:20.645
deals and stuff like that.

00:02:20.725 --> 00:02:23.445
But now even people that's just trying to get a nine to five,

00:02:23.825 --> 00:02:25.485
they got to build a brand now.

00:02:25.645 --> 00:02:30.885
You got to be on LinkedIn. You got to be on YouTube and showing that you're

00:02:30.885 --> 00:02:34.665
personable to the job, to the job, to the employer. You got to show them that

00:02:34.665 --> 00:02:36.585
you're a good person, I guess.

00:02:36.965 --> 00:02:39.925
Maybe they can feel some connection to you, you know, because that's what it's

00:02:39.925 --> 00:02:42.325
about. People hire who they feel comfortable with.

00:02:42.605 --> 00:02:48.305
And that's that. So, I mean, we're in a time where things are changing and things

00:02:48.305 --> 00:02:49.305
always continue to change.

00:02:49.705 --> 00:02:54.045
Change was going on for the longest time. So I can't say it's because of right

00:02:54.045 --> 00:02:58.445
now, can't say it's because of AI, because tech has been changing and improving

00:02:58.445 --> 00:03:00.285
over the years, and that's just what it is.

00:03:00.665 --> 00:03:05.625
But this whole fear mongering they're putting online on every YouTube video,

00:03:05.845 --> 00:03:08.705
AI is going to take your job. Oh, my God, bite all your fingers off.

00:03:09.245 --> 00:03:13.685
It's crazy work. Do I believe AI is going to come and do what it does and make

00:03:13.685 --> 00:03:15.285
things easier in a different way? yes.

00:03:15.525 --> 00:03:19.905
Do I believe that there's some things that haven't been set up properly with

00:03:19.905 --> 00:03:24.045
AI, like ethic rules, ethical rules, and stuff like that that needs to be put in place? Yes.

00:03:24.505 --> 00:03:27.905
But in the day, who's in charge of AIs? The big boys, the bosses.

00:03:28.705 --> 00:03:31.845
We can all look at something. We can work at a company. We can make good money

00:03:31.845 --> 00:03:33.185
and be like, yo, you're doing this wrong.

00:03:33.285 --> 00:03:36.525
And they can be like, are they getting in line or get out? That's just how it

00:03:36.525 --> 00:03:38.665
is, right? They want you to do what they want. They're the ones with the money.

00:03:38.725 --> 00:03:39.325
They're the ones with the pop.

00:03:39.685 --> 00:03:43.885
So there's not much we can do. But just like y'all know, someone in tech and

00:03:43.885 --> 00:03:49.285
someone that's actually studying AI, that these AIs are created,

00:03:49.625 --> 00:03:51.265
you know, they're models that's created.

00:03:51.545 --> 00:03:57.385
And if there's no rules set into that to make it fair and to make it,

00:03:57.705 --> 00:04:01.785
I guess you could say, non-evil, quote, unquote, whatever, then...

00:04:02.911 --> 00:04:05.751
We're going to be in trouble. Like, you have to set the boundaries.

00:04:06.531 --> 00:04:07.831
And they don't want to do that.

00:04:07.931 --> 00:04:10.131
They just want to put something out there and make money. And money's not even

00:04:10.131 --> 00:04:11.231
real. I mean, I don't know what we're doing.

00:04:11.671 --> 00:04:15.271
We're sitting here trying to throw these AI out.

00:04:15.991 --> 00:04:19.491
And you don't know what's going on. A lot of these cats in these high-up positions,

00:04:19.531 --> 00:04:21.811
they don't know what's going on. They're not studying this stuff.

00:04:22.511 --> 00:04:26.171
And if somebody does try to call them out on something and try to teach them

00:04:26.171 --> 00:04:27.071
something, they don't want to be taught nothing.

00:04:27.251 --> 00:04:30.191
They want everything out immediately i think if we sit down and

00:04:30.191 --> 00:04:33.391
really set up rules and

00:04:33.391 --> 00:04:37.431
and boundaries with the with artificial intelligence things could be better

00:04:37.431 --> 00:04:42.091
and we don't have to worry about it becoming an iRobot situation i mean right

00:04:42.091 --> 00:04:45.731
now it's not you know it's not any rule i mean except for in china i think they

00:04:45.731 --> 00:04:50.191
have like a robot hospital or hospital robots and stuff that's fine but,

00:04:50.691 --> 00:04:54.831
it's not like iRobot yet like the movie will smith if you haven't seen that go check it out,

00:04:55.311 --> 00:04:58.411
not like that yet can it get there I don't know I mean the

00:04:58.411 --> 00:05:01.411
thing is is that if it's all about the people there's evil

00:05:01.411 --> 00:05:04.291
people behind it and they want to let the robot do

00:05:04.291 --> 00:05:07.411
what it wants and not have any boundaries set into

00:05:07.411 --> 00:05:10.231
the code and built into it there's going to be a problem and that's just

00:05:10.231 --> 00:05:13.311
what it is so you just got to be ready for humans and robots I

00:05:13.311 --> 00:05:17.911
guess but that's something that you know a lot of these news people ain't talking

00:05:17.911 --> 00:05:22.071
about they're busy saying it's going to take jobs gonna eventually run the world

00:05:22.071 --> 00:05:26.091
and get you they're not telling you that the people that's creating these robots

00:05:26.091 --> 00:05:28.731
and AI models are the ones that's

00:05:28.731 --> 00:05:31.131
doing this. They're the ones that's letting the AI do what they want.

00:05:31.251 --> 00:05:36.831
So that's just my opinion on that. But please do research about that because.

00:05:37.930 --> 00:05:40.990
We do have to stay ready, so we have to get ready. I'm not saying don't educate

00:05:40.990 --> 00:05:42.390
yourself on artificial intelligence.

00:05:42.530 --> 00:05:45.630
I do believe that is coming, and you still need to know about it,

00:05:45.670 --> 00:05:51.110
and not just ChatGPT or just mid-journey and perplexity or whatever.

00:05:51.110 --> 00:05:54.570
You need to know the ins and outs if you're trying to, I guess, survive.

00:05:55.010 --> 00:05:59.790
You need to know how to build models, how to push out the models to the fast

00:05:59.790 --> 00:06:02.450
API and all these other things that come with it.

00:06:02.490 --> 00:06:05.170
And it's a lot to study. Don't get me wrong. There's so much going on.

00:06:05.570 --> 00:06:09.630
And heck, you're going to need ChatGPT to help you build these codes and stuff like that.

00:06:10.110 --> 00:06:13.370
Because when I was in coding program, I was a professional Googler.

00:06:13.510 --> 00:06:17.770
And this was before AI even came out. This was like 2020 before ChatGPT came

00:06:17.770 --> 00:06:21.550
out and before I could use it, you know, and stuff.

00:06:21.690 --> 00:06:24.990
So I was already just Googling.

00:06:25.150 --> 00:06:27.430
And so I just don't even understand it. You know, they'd be like,

00:06:27.530 --> 00:06:32.150
oh, well, Vibe coding and, you know, you get on AI and you get on ChatGPT and

00:06:32.150 --> 00:06:35.350
you're just creating code, you know, don't know what you're coding. Now, don't do that.

00:06:35.510 --> 00:06:39.730
I think you should know what you're coding and ChattopT can teach you that if

00:06:39.730 --> 00:06:40.610
you're trying to build something.

00:06:40.710 --> 00:06:46.030
ChattopT can tell you what it's doing and also Google can tell you what to do, too.

00:06:46.250 --> 00:06:50.910
So it's not like everybody's vibe coding. I think it should be called vibe coding

00:06:50.910 --> 00:06:53.990
for people that don't just putting stuff down, don't know what the heck's going on.

00:06:54.250 --> 00:06:58.550
People that's curious, like what I recommend on my channel, you know, stay curious.

00:06:58.790 --> 00:07:01.310
You're going to research what you're doing and you're going to be ready to talk

00:07:01.310 --> 00:07:03.710
about it. So, I mean, that's a whole nother thing.

00:07:03.830 --> 00:07:07.450
I mean, I just don't, I don't get, I don't get that. I don't get why people don't understand that.

00:07:07.950 --> 00:07:10.930
Do the research, know what you're talking about, and then go from there.

00:07:11.150 --> 00:07:16.270
That's what you do. Because everything before ChatGPT and Claude and them,

00:07:16.390 --> 00:07:21.210
it was dingo and Google and Stack Overflow to find the answers to put your code together.

00:07:21.370 --> 00:07:23.870
Because I'm going to tell you right now, trying to remember all this code from

00:07:23.870 --> 00:07:26.230
scratch, and especially in tech when you're not always coding.

00:07:26.230 --> 00:07:31.050
Like there's a lot of jobs in tech where you're not coding that much or you just, you're just like.

00:07:31.907 --> 00:07:34.387
Just doing something else besides coding, you know, you're not,

00:07:34.387 --> 00:07:38.647
you're not doing it all the time, depending on your, your job title and what you, what you do.

00:07:38.847 --> 00:07:42.347
So to me, it's like, you could forget what the heck to do. And,

00:07:42.487 --> 00:07:46.367
or you might try a new language you never tried before. And it's not the same as Python.

00:07:46.567 --> 00:07:51.087
Everything's different. So, I mean, those are some things that people got to think about.

00:07:51.267 --> 00:07:56.267
I mean, I don't think that that's talked about enough, but it's okay to Google.

00:07:56.447 --> 00:07:58.147
It's okay to try to get the answers for things.

00:07:58.907 --> 00:08:02.207
And, and before I, And also one of the things I want to talk about before I

00:08:02.207 --> 00:08:04.987
come off of here, because I just came on here for a quick chat.

00:08:05.667 --> 00:08:08.767
I want to talk about the fact that when people tell you stuff,

00:08:08.767 --> 00:08:11.207
if you're trying to figure out something, let's say you're trying to buy a house

00:08:11.207 --> 00:08:13.607
or trying to get a car or anything like that.

00:08:14.107 --> 00:08:16.887
And someone tells you something, say you can't do something or just tell you

00:08:16.887 --> 00:08:19.247
information. Go look up the information.

00:08:19.887 --> 00:08:22.787
Always research the information that someone tells you. Don't just listen to

00:08:22.787 --> 00:08:28.127
what they say because they either have this big degree or either they they've

00:08:28.127 --> 00:08:30.547
been doing it for 80 years and you just want to believe them.

00:08:30.707 --> 00:08:34.887
Always research because every sometime people just say stuff to say stuff and

00:08:34.887 --> 00:08:37.727
they don't really know because I just basically dealt with that.

00:08:37.907 --> 00:08:41.667
We're like, I mean, I'm not going to tell a story, but basically someone told

00:08:41.667 --> 00:08:46.427
me something several times over a few months, like people just tell me shit

00:08:46.427 --> 00:08:49.267
and it just be coming out the side of their neck. They don't know what they're

00:08:49.267 --> 00:08:50.167
saying. They're just talking.

00:08:50.687 --> 00:08:54.267
So to me, now I definitely make it my duty to research.

00:08:54.407 --> 00:08:59.087
And I knew this in my 20s. I knew this back in the day, but I think I just didn't

00:08:59.087 --> 00:09:01.627
want to believe in myself because I was more insecure in my 20s.

00:09:01.787 --> 00:09:05.267
But when you get in your 30s, you just be like, well, I ain't gonna say everybody,

00:09:05.447 --> 00:09:09.127
but some people, they become self-aware. They start tapping in and saying, you know what?

00:09:09.307 --> 00:09:11.927
Let me research what you just said. Let me make sure that's true.

00:09:12.507 --> 00:09:14.947
And so anytime you're trying to get information, researching,

00:09:14.947 --> 00:09:17.367
if you call somebody and try to get information from a company,

00:09:17.647 --> 00:09:21.407
one person say this, call back two more times, make sure the person say the same thing.

00:09:21.707 --> 00:09:25.167
Because I've learned too that I've been able to get opportunities because I

00:09:25.167 --> 00:09:27.587
called back two times to see if that was true.

00:09:27.907 --> 00:09:30.947
Because people talking outside their neck is at a job as well.

00:09:31.047 --> 00:09:34.827
If you feel this imposter syndrome, get rid of the imposter syndrome because

00:09:34.827 --> 00:09:36.167
everybody's trying to figure something out.

00:09:36.447 --> 00:09:40.227
Some people are just got dang on more confident and they come off more confident,

00:09:40.347 --> 00:09:41.527
but they don't know everything either.

00:09:41.667 --> 00:09:44.847
So even if they say something, research what they said when you're at work.

00:09:45.347 --> 00:09:49.627
Don't believe everything everybody say, you know, and that's that.

00:09:49.707 --> 00:09:54.387
And so that was really my take for the day. We're on a floating rock.

00:09:55.207 --> 00:09:58.867
Life is short. Try to figure out a way to enjoy yourself, the little things,

00:09:58.987 --> 00:10:03.527
whatever you can do to bring some joy and just know that everything you're,

00:10:07.827 --> 00:10:11.427
but the relatives or whoever puts stress on you as if you got this big job,

00:10:11.567 --> 00:10:12.787
you got this big car, now you're important.

00:10:13.127 --> 00:10:16.847
But that doesn't mean nothing. We're all gonna die, bro. Like all this stuff

00:10:16.847 --> 00:10:18.267
is, you can't take the car with you.

00:10:18.827 --> 00:10:21.327
Enjoy the car while you have it. Do what you gotta do. If you don't have the

00:10:21.327 --> 00:10:23.407
car, still enjoy your life because none of this is real, bro.

00:10:23.507 --> 00:10:26.267
It's all made up, man. And that's just the bottom line.

00:10:27.467 --> 00:10:30.987
So I just want to tell somebody that just in case you feel behind in life,

00:10:31.087 --> 00:10:32.587
like you feel like you can't get somewhere.

00:10:32.867 --> 00:10:35.407
If you want to get off social media for a little bit, get off of it.

00:10:35.487 --> 00:10:38.867
Hey, I always say, if you don't have a business, I mean, I don't see the point

00:10:38.867 --> 00:10:42.147
of social media besides like YouTube and stuff. You do need to stay aware of what's going on.

00:10:42.267 --> 00:10:44.807
I do think YouTube is great, but you don't need to be on all of them.

00:10:44.947 --> 00:10:47.607
You know, be on two that you like the most and get the information you need

00:10:47.607 --> 00:10:49.247
and, you know, share what you want.

00:10:49.367 --> 00:10:52.487
But don't feel like you got to be everywhere and be constantly,

00:10:52.487 --> 00:10:57.947
you know, fed all this information. It's just overload, overload, overload.

00:10:58.627 --> 00:11:02.527
You know, you take some time to just go outside and just breathe and think and

00:11:02.527 --> 00:11:03.947
know and touch the freaking ground.

00:11:03.947 --> 00:11:07.867
Know that none of this is real and anybody trying to make you feel like crap

00:11:07.867 --> 00:11:11.187
right as your relatives I don't care who it is I don't care if it's your friends

00:11:11.187 --> 00:11:14.607
I don't care always believe in yourself and know that you do what you need to

00:11:14.607 --> 00:11:17.367
do for you because we all can do what someone else is doing,

00:11:17.847 --> 00:11:21.827
you know you can go on YouTube tomorrow and be trying to do what they doing

00:11:21.827 --> 00:11:24.847
you know somebody like oh get rich you know in five minutes and all this stuff

00:11:24.847 --> 00:11:27.847
telling you telling you to just give them a hundred dollars they'll teach you

00:11:27.847 --> 00:11:31.147
the game you can give somebody a hundred dollars and you still can't get the game.

00:11:31.427 --> 00:11:34.427
Everybody is different. Every situation is different.

00:11:35.047 --> 00:11:41.127
Don't feel like you're behind anything because we're on a floating rock and

00:11:41.127 --> 00:11:42.767
I keep stressing. I can't stress that enough.

00:11:43.507 --> 00:11:46.707
Just live your life the best way you can. Figure out what you need to do for

00:11:46.707 --> 00:11:50.707
you and then go get it because that's it. It don't matter how long it takes.

00:11:50.827 --> 00:11:53.967
It may not be overnight like Johnny might have done something and he's rich

00:11:53.967 --> 00:11:57.207
overnight, but it doesn't mean that you can't eventually get to where you want

00:11:57.207 --> 00:11:59.167
to go. If you don't want to be rich, that's fine too.

00:11:59.327 --> 00:12:02.787
Just live your life have a good have a good time and

00:12:02.787 --> 00:12:05.607
then try and enjoy the little things because little things to me

00:12:05.607 --> 00:12:09.527
it's more important than the big things and that's

00:12:09.527 --> 00:12:12.327
what I want to say today I just want to talk about I just want to give somebody

00:12:12.327 --> 00:12:15.767
some word of it some words of encouragement some little advice from things I've

00:12:15.767 --> 00:12:19.587
noticed in my life and I just hope that this resonated with somebody if it did

00:12:19.587 --> 00:12:23.687
please leave review on apple if you listen on apple just leave review wherever

00:12:23.687 --> 00:12:27.327
