S417- Mind Blowing Discoveries

0:00 Check out The dread Excidabus, the new podcast we got going on. It's scripted fiction. It's really fun. I've been working hard on that one too, And we will see you soon on the next episode of The Kentucky X Files. So take care of each other and we'll see you. I saw him the other day. Now he's like, he's like way more bold now.

0:55 So he's just sitting out in the middle of my yard next to my chicken cab, just staring at him like, h kick your ass. Yeah, I randomly opened the window. It fucking yell ship at him. Now, my neighbors probably think I'm insane because I like, I opened the window and I'm like, hey, Gregory fucking suck, and he like takes off running sucks. Dumb It when somebody makes a bunch of noise when you're having a peaceful time, son of a bitch. Yeah, I got sidetracked there, but ah, ship, God damn it. I don't know what to do about this thing. I gotta get a new camera. You seem surprised.

2:01 There we go, got it? Yeah, I don't know, man, I just feel like I feel like we may have gotten you know, like pretty far as human beings, you know, like, yeah, where we're at. But I can't help but wonder like did we did we like come out on top of this or did we get kind of the short end of the stick a little bit. Let me, let me give you a scenario, and you tell me what you think. Okay, the other day I saw a couple of squirrels and a bunch of birds hanging out in the yard up with the trees and you know and everything. Not one of them was discussing going to get fucking gas so that they can drive to work tomorrow.

2:49 They weren't. They weren't worried about their taxes, they weren't concerned about their house payment or the grocery bill. They were literally just hanging out in a tree, enjoying the world. But but that's the thing. I feel like we've gotten to the point where we how to put it, it's that whole thing that like, uh, how was it? Albert Einstein said, like technology will be the downfall of us? All Yeah, I feel like that's that's the case. Like we we gotten we had, We've got too far in technology that we like if the world, like I want to believe, if the world ended tomorrow. Yeah, like maybe like just say the power went out and we didn't have any power whatsoever, Like maybe a solar filair just killed everything, but we're all still alive. I believe that we would probably die off just because none of us have it. We're too dependent on something like we we we've used our brains to this, to this extent to automate it, to automate too many things, and then no one would want to do the difficult work anymore because they wasn't. That's not how they They know how to do things and like how to do things, and like

4:24 I'm with that, Like, dude, my generation, I feel like my generation were like we were like kind of the last, like we're on the tail end of all this, like like the technology, like the technology boom if you will. I don't know, man, we we embraced it too much. I was coming up and like the Internet happened in like computers and like all this. I was like this is so cool, you know, and then talking to people all over the world, you know, and like, wow, this is awesome. Like I believe I'm talking to you know, this kid from from Germany right now, or you know, I have good friends from from Norway and Sweden that I played video games with for years.

5:11 It was amazing because that would have never happened otherwise. Yeah, but then there is a degree of Now I'm ashamed to admit that nine out of ten times I'll just order from Amazon instead of driving two minutes down the road and getting it. Yep, door dashing. I've been guilty of that one lately too, because I'm like, man, I don't want to go anywhere today. I want to just be at home and enjoy my home that I work hard for. I don't want to go out. I don't want to leave it, you know, and technology is making that's I doordashed that. Yeah, you're just saying this is three bucks. I bought two of them.

5:59 Yeah, sixteen dollars. Yeah, yeah, this is ridiculous. Most of the time I complain about money. But when I'm lazy, right, that's when you when you fuck, when you get lazy, that's what happens. You waste your money. Sure, Yeah, and I feel like that is all of us, and I like, don't. I'm like, I'm trying to not leave myself out of this because I am one of the kings of lazy and I hate that about myself, Like, and I wish I could, like I wish I could turn a switch and say that I'm not. I'm not. But that's the type of thing that it takes time to get yourself out of these like slums and stuff. And I feel like I've always said that about like the human race and stuff. There has to be something that will happen. We literally, yeah, no one check because they want to. They change because they have to. Like that's a lot of like how a lot of people say, like like when people are way overweight, they'll keep eating until there are big problems and then they change the life around. Yeah, like they that's how. That's how we work. We like to continue to enjoy something until we're not, like we can't we physically can't do it anymore. I've seen a video about that. There was just

7:31 bringing like speaking to that this dude was like eight hundred pounds and he was laying in bed. He couldn't even function anymore, right, And they said he lost mobility like several hundred pounds ago. And I'm sitting there like my brain immediately went to work on it, and I'm like, okay, So someone else helped you stay this way and get worse because if you lost function and mobility, someone's bringing you this ship, you know, and I can't help of looking at it, and you know, and it's like, bro, like this is this is the world we live in. You know.

8:16 I made a comment to Uh, I made a comment that wasn't taken very well to a couple of people. Uh. I didn't I didn't mean it, but sometimes I have an analytical brain and I can't help put dissect shit right off the bat. And uh, it was it had to do with the like the mental illness. Uh, the revolution of mental illness. That's all everywhere now. Mh. Anytime there's a thing, somebody slaps mental illness on it now not so much before. And uh, you know, it was like overeating is a mental illness now. You know, drinking is a mental illness now, blah blah blah is a mental illnes now. And it's like everything that we do it's a disease or it's mental ill and it's never ever our fault. And we lost accountability. We lost a valuable thing there, you know. And I made the comment, the comment that wasn't taken very well was it's amazing to me. How when you go to a place like say in Africa, where they're not doing very well as far as food and medicine and water and cleanliness goes that none of this is really a thing over there. You know, if you go over there, you don't really run into too many that have the disease of eating too much. So my

9:48 thought is it's like, well, maybe this blanket of mental illness that we keep claiming is a lot more are doing and our choices that we're making because of our environment. And here in this environment, everything's at your fingertips. It's a clickable borday. Yeah, you can order it and they will bring it to you. You know, I've got like hot sauces that I have delivered to my front door because I can't be troubled to jump in my car and try down the street. It's so ridiculous, you know, the environment, the environment, the behavior. We encourage it because we're in economic society, yep. Whereas some of these villages and things in Africa that aren't doing so good come from a hunter gatherer society that's been invaded by economics. Somebody came in and took the resources and took this and took the biggest piece of hunting land and turned it into a preserve, which I still find a little suspect, you know what I mean. That's a little weird to me.

11:07 Yeah. I don't wish bad on anybody over there, man, I hope everybody makes it. I want everybody to do good. I'm just saying that it's time. I feel like it's time for us to stop making excuses and do what we need to step up. But that like kind of goes back to what we said. I guess if you guys are listening out there, it will probably be in one of the first episodes talking about the white white rhino. Yeah, Okay, you just said they turn and take a big piece of land and they make it to preserve. Okay, they I get trying to protect certain types of cre like, uh, certain types of animals because they're on the brink of extinction. But now you're taking your forcing said try like tribe village that they can't hunt these things because because they're providing for their family. They're not they don't live like us. That's not like you got to understand too and not and they're not hunting these creature uh these animals for malicious intent, like to just sell certain body parts they're using they yeah, they're using it. They're they use the bone like uh I know, they make tools out of the bones. They they use all the meat to feed the village. Uh So that's that that that goes against Like I get that part. Why people do that? Right, and you can stay you

12:43 can tell me all day long. I understand why people like why vegetarians vegans they hate this whole mentality of we have to hunt, but think about the area that they're in. They don't like some of the areas you're not able to grow a lot of food into make it abundance to feed a lot of a lot of areas. So you got it. Next is a perfect example in my opinion. Yeah, Like I'm just saying, like I understand, like people always say, like like one guy, I saw this one video. I'm uh like a vegan or a vegetarian owns this reporter or something she's like does like like lions don't say or do anything like like uh like they kill for meat. So like so what are you saying? He was like, Oh, like so you're like we're not lions. We are Yeah, we can eat meat if we choose to. Why do we pick and choose?

13:50 What a line? We don't go ravaging areas and like literally just eating raw meats. We cook it and like people cook it and stuff, Like why do we pick and choose? Because that's all we got some areas, Like don't get me wrong, We're like we're a society that we can grow that stuff. But then I've heard so many counselss like farmers will say, well, I use this type of like chemicals, these types of chemicals and stuff to preserve the like to grow this, say soybeans or something, I have to kill animals that will eat the crop that I have to sell to get to you so you can have your soyburger or whatever type like that.

14:46 So the land is devastated and we're killing more and more animals ever each day, so we could have that type of thing every Like, no matter what you do in life, we're gonna we're not gonna leave here without type of blood on our hands. Like yeah, like because not everybody is able to have a micro farm in their backyard and be able to like survive off of that. Yeah, and even if you could, it's good luck yeah, because one time one like crazy storm anything, you're devastating everything you worked for.

15:26 Like so that's why, like, so you've got to understand, like that's why we have to mass produce. Like dude, we're we're billions of people. That's why we have so many farms and to keep that upkeep there's gonna be repercussions, Like there's never it's not gonna it's not gonna be such a life like I guess like yeah, yeah, I feel like you go out. We're too far along now for for like eCos some harmony. Yeah, I've got a plot back in the backyard now, say seventeen feet by twenty something feet, and I'm solarizing it. Are you familiar with the term?

16:11 No, Okay, A tarp is basically staked down to the ground. It's using the sun to bake every plant, creature, whatever that lives in that area to turn it all into fertilizer. So when I pull the tarp off, it would just be dirt and a little bit of tilling, and a garden can go in. So I essentially have to kill a seventeen foot by twenty something square of ecosystem so that I can grow a garden so that I can throw some vegetables in, some peppers. There's there's no way to just be in perfect harmony with it. You have to give and you have to take, and that's that's all it is. However, we're planting a lot of flowers. Also, the flowers are going to hopefully promote bees and other animals that pollinate, So we want to bring those in and we want to get them, get them doing, and they can take all that and go off and make their beehives and be happy, and we're glad to do it. So you take a little, give a little now. But there is there's no way to perfectly be in harmony with this. If you want to plant a bunch of organic health foods, you have to murder gigantic swaths of natural habitat to do it. And you can't plant in the same place

17:45 twice because then you burn out all of the bacteria in the in the ground, just billions of different types of bacteria that help plants grow and help things live. You have to kill all that if you If you double plant potato, farmers do it all the time. They completely burn out entire swaths of field. But what they do is that they come back in and they put a slurry down and they reintroduce new bacteria and they get it going again for the next one. You know, farmers have like literally they've they've perfected what they do. They know what they need to do. You know, the problem is that farming proteins it's a bit harder, you know. I can't remember where I was reading about it. It was basically saying, how like, you can supplement animal proteins for plant proteins, but I believe you need more of it, like it occupies more space something like that. I can't remember how it went. Uh, it takes a lot of beans to make the proteins that are in a cow. So to me, just not being an expert, that sounds right to me, I don't know. But how much how much land do you need for that one cow versus how much land do you need for all that protein and beans? And it's now it's it's predominantly soybean, and it's so bad now that the soybeans are being supplemented from

19:18 meats, and in a lot of cases the soybeans are being if they're rejected, like it's a bad crop or whatever. It's being turned into feed for the cows, which is why everything tastes like soybean. Now now you want those omega threes, them grass beds. Yeah, that's how you get a good burger, good steak. So yeah, yeah, that's like how I was, like, I that's why I just get frustrated with like a lot of this stuff. Like I feel like there's people out there that could probably explain this a lot better than I can, but it's just frustrating because everybody feels like they can live the way that they like. We can live in harmony with everything and continue the life that we live. We can have these big cities, we can have all all this stuff at our fingertips but still be green about it, right, And I I can't see that if we really want to be totally green, the population would have to we would have to stop what we're doing, and the population would have to be cut down pretty pretty low. Right to like to have like to be able to be like I guess if you will harmony, I guess more of a it's more

20:51 giving than taking to help the help the help the planet. That's the case, you know, like remember years ago, I haven't kept up with the forestry industry. So I don't know if it's still going on. I imagine it has to be. But they used to cut a tree down and plant two. Yeah, it's like to me, like that's the most simplest, simplest system right there is like you know what I mean, Like you've cut one down, plant two, give back twice as much, so next time it's even easier. Yeah. I feel like that if we if we did that with everything, I feel like we'd be we'd be doing something good.

21:33 Like I don't know, like if every if everything, if it was possible, you know, yeah, you eat a cow, you plant too, you know, plant two cows. You know if you don't, Yeah, I guess that that that one doesn't really work, but you know what I mean, like it then can it work? But then there's another thing too, is the cows. The how many cows that you have to raise two to accommodate for the like for for the masses. And then now we're on the whole, like methane build ups, like the methane that the cows produced, Like they say, uh, what a ranch would produce so much methane because of the cows. It's like obviously the what are we supposed to do if there's another alternative? What we eat the methane methane burgers? Well, I kept thinking, like thinking too, It's like, dude, I saw I saw this on Doomsday Preppers. Dude, probably the best idea I've ever heard on a Doomsday prepper site was about this. They had their total off grade, but they have power like solar and stuff like that, but they heat and cook with the methane that produces from their own ships. That's pretty

23:07 pretty genius. Oh my god, that is amazing that. I'd like, dude, when I heard that, by far the best Doomsday Prepper I've ever heard like that. You can't tell me that's not genius. And everybody's like they use their own shit to cook that most tastes like it's not it's technically a natural gat it's a biofuel. You're not gonna get that taste in your fucking murder. You're not putting it directly on the fire, but you're just get a charred taste to it. I don't know, maybe it would be different, like because if you use a like if you put like a a steak on a direct flame from a from like a propane tank. You might get you probably will get a weird taste to it because that's pumping direct.

24:00 Yeah, it sound like you're just throwing a couple of turds on a grill. And yeah, you're not lighting it like like you have like a log, a Lincoln log turds just in a fire like that, and you're just putting it on the st You're just holding the steak over the fire. Yeah. No, there's some there's some chemical changes that are happening there. Yeah, that's pretty that's pretty genius though, Like, yeah, because we're all gonna ship, so I think that's amazing. What about all the methane coming from our landfills? Like, yeah, a lot, right, I mean, oh yeah, have you ever seen like the ones that like uh rumky and stuff. Dude, they actually have vents because the methane that builds up in like the core of like the landfill. Yeah, they have to burn that off or it's going to be it literally gets too much pressure in that that mountain could actually explode. It says here that landfills in the United States released one hundred and nineteen zero point eight million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent of methane into the atmosphere in twenty twenty two. All right, let's see twenty twenty two Methane from cows. Twenty twenty two. It says the methane

25:34 from cows decreased by two percent. Okay, how much? Okay, metric tons of methane from cows? How much? Come on? Okay? Seventy three point five million metric tons for that? How much was the landfields? Uh? Where's that here? Damn it? I lost it? Uh, one hundred and nineteen point eight million metric tons only seventy three million metric tons from cows. Seems like we need to do something with our fucking garbage more than we need to do anything with the cows. But that's the thing.

26:47 What can we do? I don't know, like because this whole in if we want to go down that rabbit hole. Yeah. The recycling as a lie, right, it's one hundred lie. I've heard that. It's not it's it's it's not profitable to actually take all this like recycled garbage and then go and then actually recycle it. It's just not profitable to do that. So companies they'll send the stuff and then other companies will put it on barges and send it to other countries and just dump it there because they physically can't justify actually refining this and putting it into other products. They just can't manufacturing of Like re rendering shit is probably well, yeah, because you think if they if they did it with plastic, then they have to melt the plastic down that that it releases all kinds of chemical in the atmosphere, they re render it back into something else, and then they got to clean it.

28:07 Oh yeah, wow, I could see it. There's probably a lot to it. Yeah, there's just too much like there's just too much like process to do that, and companies can't can't handle it. Yeah, So this is where I go, like I come into like where I think government should come into play here. Okay, we it's non profitable to do this, but if we want to get on the bandwagon of actually recycling and trying our best to fucking do some type of good, why can't, like we're already in fucking dead already, who gives a shit? Just fucking charge that damn fucking card from China and just keep going like who fucking cares. It's not like we're going. Fucking dude, I'm sorry. That's another thing I'd get pissed about. We're so many trillions of dollars in debt, but if I missed one fucking payment on my fucking car, they tow that bitch. You think they're going to fucking toe fucking America. Somebody said that. I thought it was actually brilliant. It was like they were speaking for the spirit of the age. They said, the country that's trillions of dollars in debt has the audacity to give me a credit score. I was like Bravo, Like Bravo, Holy shit. And then now they're saying that freaking taxes are going

29:38 to go up. Oh yeah, yeah, the percentage is going to go They go yeah. It's like, I just like, we just can't we never We've dug us such a deep hole. Yeah, there's no way of getting out of it. So this is like this is that in like everybody's life where they have to say it's like no what, I'm just gonna do what I gotta do and then just keep like just keep going until I die. Like I hate to say it, but that's how it is. It sucks. There's no way of doing anything different, Like, cause if I have to wake up tomorrow and have to go to work, that's all that all it has to matter. What else can I do? I can't just I just can't. I can't go I can't go on social media and bitch about that. I can come here. I just talk. That's all I can do. Yeah, that's all you can do. But I can't, Like, I can't literally go to rallies and stuff and look what those fucking do. They don't do shit, they don't do anything like. I hate that. If somebody could literally come to me and say we could do this, by all means, I will help somebody to change things. But if you don't come with a plan and just complain about it, what are we

31:11 what are we here for? What are we doing? We're just rehashing the problem. That's true. If you don't, Yeah, I agree with you, that's true. Yeah, I don't know. Man, it's a it's a mess. Maybe there's no there's no like solution, insight mm hmm, except for they want to tax us more for it. I mean, it is what it is. Yeah, that's when the truth is stranger than fiction, right there? H we uh, we got so many messes around us that we don't know where to start. Yeah, yeah, I got nothing else, man, what about you? Yeah, I'm good. Yeah, I hope every I like through all of everything I had. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah uh but yeah, I don't know. Guys, like, hopefully we get these out there like this, these episodes get out there, and we just kind of hopefully we can get back to the spooky stuff, because that's I would like to. But I feel like we're gonna need your guys' help out there, Like that's like that's the only way put us in the direction. What do you want to hear? Like we all we keep seeing is just hoax after hoax after hoax and stuff that just doesn't make sense. Yeah, so we're gonna need some type of help, like because

32:44 this is not it's it's just we're we're stumbling around in the dark. So I don't I don't know what else to like say there, Like yeah, I mean I feel like you summed it up. Yeah, all right, Well you guys out there, take care of each other. We'll see you back here on the next one. Let's wait for it. See you By George Dodor
