00:03:42.295 --> 00:03:43.715 They hook into your brain. 00:03:44.035 --> 00:03:44.435 Okay. 00:03:44.455 --> 00:03:46.915 I have a, so I'm going to come back to that. 00:03:46.935 --> 00:03:47.875 I'm going to come back to that. 00:03:48.175 --> 00:03:53.235 But are there a version of nostalgia glasses that I can wear over my glasses? 00:03:53.255 --> 00:03:55.055 Kind of like movie theater glasses? 00:03:55.075 --> 00:03:56.195 Are they like bigger? 00:03:56.195 --> 00:03:56.555 Yes. 00:03:56.795 --> 00:03:59.395 You can absolutely wear these over your normal glasses. 00:03:59.415 --> 00:04:00.415 Don't even worry about it. 00:04:00.435 --> 00:04:05.275 In fact, they even have a place to hook in to your normal glasses because like anyone who is still... 00:04:07.015 --> 00:04:07.315 Right. 00:04:07.335 --> 00:04:14.395 Because anyone who's still like a nerd about the things that they liked as kids enough to want the nostalgia glasses is someone who has glasses at this point. 00:04:14.695 --> 00:04:17.775 And so they automatically clip on to your glasses. 00:04:18.135 --> 00:04:20.655 And then they also just have these little things. 00:04:20.675 --> 00:04:24.195 They just like zoop into your head, just zoop in. 00:04:24.615 --> 00:04:25.955 Mm-hmm, zoop. 00:04:26.075 --> 00:04:33.575 And they just sort of de-age your brain so that you think like a child once again. 00:04:34.335 --> 00:04:38.675 What you're telling me is these glasses make me start to dissociate? 00:04:38.695 --> 00:04:45.315 Yeah, I mean, don't all glasses do that? 00:04:46.775 --> 00:04:52.255 Yeah, I just put my glasses on in the morning and suddenly I'm viewing myself in third person. 00:04:52.275 --> 00:05:00.255 It's weird how my glasses come with a camera attached to the back of them so that I'm actually just dissociating out of my body. 00:05:00.275 --> 00:05:04.615 Yeah, I put on my glasses every morning and then I start hearing vapor wave. 00:05:08.875 --> 00:05:10.695 Well, what's your hang up here, right? 00:05:10.695 --> 00:05:15.195 Because all they do is they just de-age your brain so that you're a child again. 00:05:16.015 --> 00:05:27.795 Yeah, I'm just like, I'm not too sure how many, like what movies are worth it to have something literally de-age my brain. 00:05:27.975 --> 00:05:29.775 How do I un-age my brain? 00:05:29.795 --> 00:05:32.855 Because presumably this is like a one way effect. 00:05:33.115 --> 00:05:35.555 Like you can de-age your brain. 00:05:36.055 --> 00:05:36.435 Really? 00:05:36.455 --> 00:05:37.375 No, of course not. 00:05:37.395 --> 00:05:38.795 We're not monsters. 00:05:38.815 --> 00:05:45.515 No, you take off the glasses and 95% of the time, you just go back to normal. 00:05:46.635 --> 00:05:49.055 What happens if a child wears these? 00:05:49.895 --> 00:05:58.735 Ah, well, you see there's a warning label on it that says a child absolutely cannot under any circumstances ever wear these or else they will never grow up. 00:05:58.795 --> 00:06:03.195 It's called Peter Panitis, and it's very dangerous. 00:06:03.555 --> 00:06:07.195 So that is kind of the only main thing is you don't want a child to wear them. 00:06:07.375 --> 00:06:13.835 That seems like very reckless to just have these at all, anywhere. 00:06:13.855 --> 00:06:17.955 Well, no, you put them in a child safe locked box, right? 00:06:17.975 --> 00:06:19.475 Like, children can't open it. 00:06:19.735 --> 00:06:27.435 The only potential concern is like obviously you can't mess with the locked box while you're wearing the glasses because you will not be able to open it or close it. 00:06:27.455 --> 00:06:36.535 Now, I feel like anyone with a kid knows that if you wear glasses and have a kid, the kid is going to try and take your glasses. 00:06:37.355 --> 00:06:42.615 What happens if the kid takes your nostalgia glasses? 00:06:42.975 --> 00:06:46.555 Here is one of the other minor concerns. 00:06:46.835 --> 00:06:53.955 And minor because, you know, in our tests, it only was sometimes a problem. 00:06:54.615 --> 00:07:04.335 And it was like, after you take off the nostalgia glasses, there's like a moment where you're having to like readjust, you know, your brain is trying to readjust. 00:07:04.355 --> 00:07:07.835 And so you're kind of just like out for a couple of minutes. 00:07:08.215 --> 00:07:11.255 And so you might not be able to like... 00:07:11.275 --> 00:07:15.595 When you say out, do you mean sort of like fuzzy in the head? 00:07:15.735 --> 00:07:18.095 Or do you mean like unconscious? 00:07:18.715 --> 00:07:21.855 You know, just like it's different for each person, right? 00:07:21.875 --> 00:07:22.675 There's some people... 00:07:22.695 --> 00:07:23.995 So you might just black out. 00:07:25.435 --> 00:07:30.095 Yeah, in some cases, yes, but you'd have to be like a very... 00:07:30.755 --> 00:07:35.115 You know, you would have to be the sort of person who would black out in that scenario. 00:07:35.555 --> 00:07:37.195 What kind of person blacks out? 00:07:37.755 --> 00:07:39.875 If you have like an O blood type. 00:07:40.335 --> 00:07:42.555 There are a lot of people with O blood types. 00:07:43.155 --> 00:07:46.655 Yeah, well, these are all warnings that are printed on the box of these things, you know? 00:07:46.675 --> 00:07:47.915 Like, you have to be willing to take risks. 00:07:47.935 --> 00:07:49.355 How many warnings are on this box? 00:07:49.815 --> 00:07:52.075 What percentage of this box is warnings? 00:07:53.095 --> 00:07:54.555 I'm going to keep it real with you. 00:07:54.575 --> 00:07:56.735 You know how a box has like four sides? 00:07:57.715 --> 00:07:58.815 It actually has six sides. 00:08:00.155 --> 00:08:00.475 Sorry. 00:08:01.015 --> 00:08:02.535 Yeah, I put on the glasses. 00:08:03.115 --> 00:08:05.715 But you know how a box has six sides? 00:08:06.275 --> 00:08:07.875 Five of them are warnings. 00:08:08.235 --> 00:08:12.715 So that is sort of what you're dealing with here. 00:08:14.055 --> 00:08:19.235 I like the implication that you put on the glasses and suddenly cubes have four sides. 00:08:22.335 --> 00:08:26.235 No, I put on the glasses and forgot how many sides a cube has. 00:08:27.215 --> 00:08:28.775 But also, of course they do. 00:08:29.275 --> 00:08:30.495 They're just squares. 00:08:31.915 --> 00:08:35.975 You can't see the third dimension when you have the nostalgia glasses on. 00:08:36.435 --> 00:08:37.795 It's one of the warnings. 00:08:38.895 --> 00:08:43.375 Yeah, because you know how 2D gaming and 3D gaming, right? 00:08:43.395 --> 00:08:46.075 And all gaming used to be 2D instead of 3D. 00:08:46.855 --> 00:08:48.175 Yeah, that's like that. 00:08:48.395 --> 00:08:50.335 They're sort of reverse 3D glasses. 00:08:53.135 --> 00:08:54.635 They're reverse 3D glasses. 00:08:54.655 --> 00:08:57.915 They're 2D glasses, and they de-age your brain. 00:08:58.295 --> 00:08:59.755 God, where do I sign up? 00:09:00.015 --> 00:09:08.015 I'm assuming there's like, you know, when you have a really hot sauce, you have to make your customer sign a waiver to buy it. 00:09:08.315 --> 00:09:12.935 I assume there's sort of like a really long contract that you like... 00:09:14.155 --> 00:09:15.015 It's a package. 00:09:15.895 --> 00:09:20.595 It's like the contract is a package? 00:09:21.175 --> 00:09:22.115 In length, yes. 00:09:22.975 --> 00:09:23.995 It's like kind of... 00:09:24.295 --> 00:09:25.855 Have you ever played D&D? 00:09:26.095 --> 00:09:30.295 It's sort of the same size as a D&D book. 00:09:31.195 --> 00:09:31.955 Great. 00:09:31.995 --> 00:09:34.495 Just a quick, short couple hundred pages. 00:09:34.855 --> 00:09:36.615 Listen, it's experimental technology. 00:09:36.875 --> 00:09:42.375 You know, someone somewhere is going to innovate on it and make it more advanced and stuff. 00:09:42.395 --> 00:09:45.955 But for now, we're kind of stuck with what we've got, right? 00:09:46.275 --> 00:09:49.095 But I tell you what, they do work. 00:09:50.115 --> 00:09:52.395 And 5% of the time, they work too well. 00:09:54.615 --> 00:09:55.255 Too well? 00:09:55.375 --> 00:09:55.775 Okay. 00:09:55.795 --> 00:09:58.495 What's the warning that goes along with too well? 00:09:59.315 --> 00:10:06.075 Well, as I was saying, 95% of people who wear them, you go back to normal, just totally fine. 00:10:06.855 --> 00:10:11.495 5% of people stay a child brain forever. 00:10:12.675 --> 00:10:14.435 So what are we doing about those people? 00:10:14.835 --> 00:10:17.195 I presume we know this because it has happened. 00:10:17.615 --> 00:10:19.295 What are we doing with those people? 00:10:19.975 --> 00:10:21.395 I mean, they signed a waiver. 00:10:21.435 --> 00:10:22.675 They knew what they were getting into. 00:10:23.135 --> 00:10:23.975 Right, the D&D book. 00:10:23.995 --> 00:10:24.755 That's on them. 00:10:24.975 --> 00:10:26.495 That's our company policy. 00:10:26.535 --> 00:10:29.455 Our company slogan is, that's on them. 00:10:31.875 --> 00:10:34.195 It's because when you wear it, it's on you. 00:10:34.215 --> 00:10:34.955 I get it. 00:10:34.975 --> 00:10:35.475 I see. 00:10:35.475 --> 00:10:37.435 It's fun and whimsical. 00:10:37.455 --> 00:10:38.195 Yes, exactly. 00:10:38.375 --> 00:10:40.995 Until you're a ten-year-old forever. 00:10:41.015 --> 00:10:45.415 And also us completely denying responsibility for the thing that we created, yes. 00:10:47.395 --> 00:10:50.395 That feels true to most tech companies. 00:10:50.415 --> 00:10:54.635 I think I'm pretty satisfied with my nostalgia glasses. 00:10:55.095 --> 00:10:57.415 How long will it take to ship them? 00:10:57.935 --> 00:11:00.655 A couple of days, probably. 00:11:00.675 --> 00:11:07.795 I mean, we got a bunch of workers who have child brains, so it's kind of, you know, it fluctuates. 00:11:07.815 --> 00:11:09.575 Sorry, they're workers? 00:11:10.095 --> 00:11:11.435 Well, no. 00:11:11.575 --> 00:11:14.895 I mean, we just offer lots of different employment programs. 00:11:15.555 --> 00:11:16.435 To children? 00:11:16.455 --> 00:11:18.715 Okay, yeah, they're children, okay? 00:11:18.715 --> 00:11:20.435 Yeah, sure, they're children. 00:11:20.455 --> 00:11:21.435 We do child labor? 00:11:21.875 --> 00:11:23.715 Are we pro-child labor? 00:11:24.235 --> 00:11:25.755 You have to be willing to make sacrifices. 00:11:31.695 --> 00:11:33.955 And welcome to the Industrial Revolution, everyone. 00:11:33.975 --> 00:11:37.695 I feel like everyone could have pretty easily guessed what the Splatoon reference in that one was. 00:11:38.095 --> 00:11:40.155 After all, you know, you're a kid now. 00:11:42.515 --> 00:11:43.335 This is similar. 00:11:43.355 --> 00:11:45.835 This craving is, it's very, it's different. 00:11:46.215 --> 00:11:49.115 But there is also a time mechanic here. 00:11:49.255 --> 00:12:05.375 So throughout the months of October and I believe November as well, Jack Dekeat and their partner KB have been doing streams of Majora's Mask, which is a really good Zelda game that I had never actually played. 00:12:05.395 --> 00:12:08.795 I played Ocarina, but I hadn't played Majora's Mask. 00:12:09.055 --> 00:12:12.675 And, you know, the kind of central conceit of that game is a time loop, right? 00:12:12.695 --> 00:12:17.335 Is you're constantly reliving the same three days and doing different things without those three days. 00:12:17.775 --> 00:12:23.595 And in general, I think time loops are really interesting as storytelling devices. 00:12:23.895 --> 00:12:26.375 There's all sorts of different stories about time loops, right? 00:12:26.395 --> 00:12:27.895 The classic is Groundhog Day. 00:12:27.915 --> 00:12:29.335 There was Russian Doll recently. 00:12:29.695 --> 00:12:33.615 There's games like Majora's Mask and the upcoming Deathloop game. 00:12:33.795 --> 00:12:36.995 And so, like, I think time loops are super cool. 00:12:37.015 --> 00:12:38.955 I would like one. 00:12:39.195 --> 00:12:40.135 Like in real life? 00:12:40.235 --> 00:12:41.415 I would like a time loop. 00:12:42.175 --> 00:12:42.675 Yes. 00:12:43.015 --> 00:12:43.675 Are you sure? 00:12:43.875 --> 00:12:47.375 I thought the entire point of Groundhog Day was that time loops suck. 00:12:47.735 --> 00:12:49.835 This is terrifying, actually. 00:12:50.235 --> 00:12:50.995 Consider this. 00:12:51.455 --> 00:12:53.515 Time loops only suck if you can't get out of them. 00:12:53.995 --> 00:13:01.515 And here's the other thing is as much as those shows try to like, oh yeah, try to be like, oh yeah, time loops are bad and terrible. 00:13:01.975 --> 00:13:15.255 Groundhog Day is also a movie in which this person learns so many skills and so much information and just like that he's able to woo this woman in a day, which is gross, by the way, that whole part of it is gross. 00:13:15.295 --> 00:13:18.555 Oh wow, I've never actually seen the movie. 00:13:18.575 --> 00:13:24.755 Yeah, he has to, in order to get out of the time loop, he has to make her fall in love with him over the course of one day. 00:13:25.555 --> 00:13:26.875 That's the premise? 00:13:27.535 --> 00:13:28.315 Yeah, that's the premise. 00:13:28.335 --> 00:13:30.235 I thought there was something like Aliens. 00:13:30.815 --> 00:13:33.235 I thought it was like some bullshit. 00:13:33.635 --> 00:13:43.735 It's something, something he learned that it matters to enjoy people and care about people or whatever through romantic attachment. 00:13:44.255 --> 00:13:55.235 I want just like a little bit of just like being able to relive the same, like set of days or day over and over, because you could just like, you could do a lot, right? 00:13:55.255 --> 00:13:57.495 You could discover a lot, learn a lot. 00:13:57.875 --> 00:14:04.295 You could, yeah, you would just have a lot of time to just like work on stuff and think about things. 00:14:04.495 --> 00:14:09.775 And also it would just be cool, you know, you could just be in a time loop for a bit. 00:14:10.135 --> 00:14:13.395 So clearly you have to make a sacrifice to the hog. 00:14:13.435 --> 00:14:15.355 You have to do it for the hog, Brianna. 00:14:15.595 --> 00:14:17.855 Okay, tell me, tell me about doing it for the hog. 00:14:18.155 --> 00:14:22.415 Well, when you do it for the hog, the hog will bless you with a time loop. 00:14:23.335 --> 00:14:25.355 Just like in Groundhog Day. 00:14:25.375 --> 00:14:29.235 When you do it for the hog, the hog does it for you. 00:14:29.255 --> 00:14:31.835 The classic slogan. 00:14:32.095 --> 00:14:33.955 Do we know how to escape the time loop? 00:14:34.195 --> 00:14:35.935 Is there a way to escape the time loop? 00:14:37.035 --> 00:14:40.315 Because if you can't escape the time loop, then it becomes a nightmare, you know? 00:14:40.575 --> 00:14:42.475 You simply have to find the hog. 00:14:42.775 --> 00:14:45.055 The hog is somewhere in the time loop. 00:14:45.075 --> 00:14:50.235 You can locate the hog, and you can be like, oh, okay, I know where the hog is now. 00:14:50.395 --> 00:14:54.475 The hog will tell you, haha, you have to come find me if you want to get out. 00:14:55.335 --> 00:14:56.795 And so you know how to. 00:14:56.895 --> 00:15:01.255 And you have one day, of course, to find the hog. 00:15:01.295 --> 00:15:03.855 And you can do it any day you want. 00:15:04.195 --> 00:15:06.275 You know, as soon as you're like, you know, I'm good. 00:15:06.275 --> 00:15:07.855 I've done this day enough. 00:15:07.855 --> 00:15:11.475 You shirk all your responsibilities, and you set out on your hog quest. 00:15:11.875 --> 00:15:13.095 This is fantastic. 00:15:13.535 --> 00:15:18.395 When you say you go out on a hog quest, here's sort of my question with that. 00:15:18.895 --> 00:15:20.915 How far away is the hog? 00:15:21.075 --> 00:15:22.975 I think it's random. 00:15:23.215 --> 00:15:25.015 You can get anywhere in a day. 00:15:25.515 --> 00:15:30.415 If you have an infinite amount of time to plan it out, you know? 00:15:31.295 --> 00:15:42.315 Here's my question is, does the time loop start you back in the same place, a la Groundhog Day, or does it take you back wherever you want to go, a la Majora's Mask? 00:15:42.755 --> 00:15:47.755 You get your original spawn point, and then you get one extra spawn point that you can put wherever. 00:15:48.355 --> 00:15:50.015 Can you pick up that spawn point? 00:15:50.435 --> 00:15:53.155 Yeah, it's a little hog, it's a little plushy hog. 00:15:53.395 --> 00:15:54.435 You take it wherever. 00:15:54.455 --> 00:15:56.455 It's sort of a time anomaly. 00:15:56.755 --> 00:16:05.255 Before entering a time loop, you need to know the logistics of the time loop, so that you know that you can, in fact, it is possible for you to find the hog. 00:16:05.695 --> 00:16:08.015 I don't think the hog would play a nasty trick on you. 00:16:08.035 --> 00:16:09.495 I don't think the hog is mean. 00:16:09.675 --> 00:16:16.755 I think the hog is a friend who wants to play hide and seek, but doesn't have much time on their hand. 00:16:16.875 --> 00:16:21.015 So it's like, you got to find me in a day, and if you fail, you got to do it again. 00:16:21.035 --> 00:16:23.415 Because of Groundhog's short lifespans. 00:16:23.435 --> 00:16:24.995 I see, I understand. 00:16:25.015 --> 00:16:31.495 Right, a Groundhog can only play so many games of hide and seek, so you can't waste a Groundhog's time. 00:16:31.515 --> 00:16:32.235 That's just rude. 00:16:32.255 --> 00:16:40.675 Can you think of a specific day in terms of time or place that you would prefer to have your time loop be? 00:16:41.255 --> 00:16:53.075 I would want to have my time loop in the end of spring, and I'd want it to be in some country that I've never been to. 00:16:53.335 --> 00:17:03.875 I could find all the cool little nooks and crannies for reading, study an entire branch of academia, and then come home, I guess? 00:17:04.775 --> 00:17:08.495 I think doing it in another country is a really good call. 00:17:08.935 --> 00:17:15.655 I'm sure that there's also cities in other cities in Canada that would also work. 00:17:16.075 --> 00:17:26.535 I think having it in Ottawa would be interesting, because you could definitely, on certain time loops, go assassinate the prime minister, and it wouldn't work. 00:17:26.555 --> 00:17:28.315 Just sort of see how easy it is. 00:17:31.735 --> 00:17:34.795 Right, just see could you and what would happen. 00:17:35.355 --> 00:17:36.835 What would happen afterwards. 00:17:36.855 --> 00:17:38.055 Where's the weak point? 00:17:38.995 --> 00:17:39.915 Right, exactly. 00:17:40.015 --> 00:17:45.495 For any law enforcement people listening, I don't want to assassinate the prime minister. 00:17:45.595 --> 00:17:55.955 Nobody wants to assassinate the prime minister, but if the prime minister were assassinating during the events of a time loop, no one would know. 00:17:56.335 --> 00:17:58.755 Exactly, because it's like a video game. 00:17:58.835 --> 00:18:00.355 Because it has to be finite, right? 00:18:00.375 --> 00:18:06.695 Because otherwise you're gonna get overwhelmed and you're just gonna try and literally explore everything. 00:18:06.795 --> 00:18:07.135 Right? 00:18:07.315 --> 00:18:08.735 And that's just not doable. 00:18:09.295 --> 00:18:13.755 And the hog will get impatient, I think, after a few millennia. 00:18:14.195 --> 00:18:15.455 Right, that's the thing, right? 00:18:15.535 --> 00:18:22.335 Is you don't want to make the hog angry because the hog might make it so hard that you never get out of the time loop, right? 00:18:22.775 --> 00:18:26.755 Yeah, the hog's just slightly harder to find every loop. 00:18:26.775 --> 00:18:30.375 Not much, just slightly harder to find. 00:18:30.955 --> 00:18:35.775 Or alternatively, the hog might get so fed up that it's not even a quest, right? 00:18:35.795 --> 00:18:41.615 The hog is just like begging you to just like get both of you out of the time loop. 00:18:41.875 --> 00:18:44.035 And it's like constantly following you. 00:18:44.055 --> 00:18:45.195 Please, grab the hog. 00:18:45.215 --> 00:18:46.975 Just grab the hog already. 00:18:50.695 --> 00:18:54.135 And then you would just be constantly followed by your hog. 00:18:54.155 --> 00:18:59.615 And it would just be like constantly like trying to get you. 00:18:59.635 --> 00:19:05.415 And then it wouldn't be fun anymore because you would just constantly be trying to avoid the hog. 00:19:05.955 --> 00:19:13.155 I guess might be fun in a different way, but feels very much like it follows, but it's a groundhog instead of dying in that time loop. 00:19:13.215 --> 00:19:16.075 It's just a tiny groundhog always walking at you. 00:19:16.095 --> 00:19:18.975 And if it touches you, you break out of the time loop. 00:19:19.255 --> 00:19:24.055 And this is how the time loop gets nightmarish because you're scared to lose your time loop. 00:19:24.335 --> 00:19:27.755 I could learn the entire history of the world. 00:19:28.095 --> 00:19:31.015 All I have to do is run away from that goddamn... 00:19:31.975 --> 00:19:33.115 I was going to say hedgehog. 00:19:33.135 --> 00:19:35.735 That's a completely different animal. 00:19:35.755 --> 00:19:39.875 That would be much harder because as we know from Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic's chasing you. 00:19:39.895 --> 00:19:41.155 Hedgehogs are very fast. 00:19:44.075 --> 00:19:46.915 Trying to run away from a hedgehog, you're not going to last long. 00:19:47.275 --> 00:19:49.495 Hey dude, you're in my time loop. 00:19:49.715 --> 00:19:51.115 I'm going to kick you out now. 00:19:51.595 --> 00:19:54.795 And alright, that's the second Craving again. 00:19:55.815 --> 00:20:01.955 If you didn't catch the splurred, you might want to rewind a bit and just give it a couple more listens. 00:20:02.395 --> 00:20:03.535 It's in there, folks. 00:20:03.835 --> 00:20:04.615 You'll find it. 00:20:04.895 --> 00:20:05.395 For sure. 00:20:08.055 --> 00:20:14.175 A few years ago, I was part of a friend group that called ourselves the Evil Gays. 00:20:14.655 --> 00:20:23.995 Some listening, statistically based on who listens to this might know this already. 00:20:24.015 --> 00:20:25.315 I really missed that. 00:20:25.355 --> 00:20:37.455 It was a core group of friends that due to, I don't know all the intricate details of the falling out, but there's a lot of traumatizing and re-traumatizing accidentally. 00:20:37.515 --> 00:20:40.435 And I hope only accidentally, though. 00:20:40.455 --> 00:20:42.375 I don't know all the sides of this. 00:20:43.075 --> 00:20:44.635 But yeah, there was a falling out. 00:20:44.835 --> 00:20:48.975 And so the Evil Gays no longer exist, unfortunately. 00:20:48.995 --> 00:20:58.555 And I have really just been craving the core group, where you have the group chat, and you're like, what are people doing today? 00:20:58.575 --> 00:21:01.475 So my craving is for the Evil Gays too. 00:21:02.395 --> 00:21:03.455 Electric Homo. 00:21:03.815 --> 00:21:11.855 The biggest issue here is gonna be this risk of traumatizing, re-traumatizing. 00:21:11.875 --> 00:21:19.595 And so the only way to really prevent that is for you to make a group where it's all clones of yourself. 00:21:21.715 --> 00:21:23.175 Yeah, this is what I want. 00:21:23.295 --> 00:21:26.795 I just want to hang out with myself and not anybody else. 00:21:26.795 --> 00:21:28.295 That won't get annoying at all. 00:21:29.095 --> 00:21:35.655 Well, it's the only way to prevent clashing personalities, because as we know, one never clashes with themself. 00:21:35.675 --> 00:21:38.015 Yeah, I've never accidentally triggered myself. 00:21:39.975 --> 00:21:40.575 Me neither. 00:21:40.595 --> 00:21:44.755 I never have even once in my life, and don't ask my therapist about it. 00:21:46.955 --> 00:21:49.375 No, hey, I've solved it. 00:21:49.515 --> 00:21:51.315 We just get a group of therapists. 00:21:51.435 --> 00:21:53.655 Therapists can never trigger people. 00:21:56.215 --> 00:21:59.115 As we know, all therapists are good always. 00:21:59.135 --> 00:22:05.615 Yeah, if someone was a therapist, they wouldn't be a therapist if they were a bad therapist. 00:22:09.235 --> 00:22:13.375 It's the Evil Gays 2 colon Evil Therapists. 00:22:15.835 --> 00:22:17.395 We need a bunch of therapists. 00:22:17.415 --> 00:22:21.135 We need a group of therapist friends, and they can never talk about their work, obviously. 00:22:22.215 --> 00:22:24.555 Or what if they only talk about their work? 00:22:24.755 --> 00:22:28.715 Here's the other issue with that is confidentiality. 00:22:28.715 --> 00:22:34.095 They can't really talk about their work because they can't talk about their harmony with their therapist. 00:22:34.235 --> 00:22:37.715 Therapists, do you think, actually don't talk about their clients? 00:22:38.095 --> 00:22:41.055 No, I know that they do, but let me live in a world where they don't. 00:22:42.955 --> 00:22:44.975 Okay, so where are we going to find all these therapists? 00:22:45.555 --> 00:22:52.215 I'm lukewarm on the therapist, just because I've literally never had a consistent therapist. 00:22:52.435 --> 00:22:56.895 So I couldn't even tell you what the dynamic of a group of therapists would be like. 00:22:57.355 --> 00:22:59.715 I mean, I feel like it would really depend. 00:22:59.755 --> 00:23:02.815 I've heard therapists be everywhere all over the map. 00:23:02.835 --> 00:23:06.335 It's like they're a multifaceted group of people who just happen to share a profession. 00:23:06.575 --> 00:23:07.915 So maybe not therapists. 00:23:07.915 --> 00:23:20.075 Okay, so who do you think you could get together for this group chat that would not have any issues with accidentally retraumatizing each other or causing sorts of problems that would cause a group to fall apart? 00:23:20.515 --> 00:23:21.515 What about gamers? 00:23:23.795 --> 00:23:24.795 Say more about that. 00:23:28.015 --> 00:23:28.395 No. 00:23:31.675 --> 00:23:33.955 So, okay, let's talk about gamers. 00:23:34.075 --> 00:23:37.595 So here's a pro, right? 00:23:37.935 --> 00:23:41.195 Gamers play games together all the time. 00:23:41.615 --> 00:23:44.115 You play games together, you can't talk about politics. 00:23:44.135 --> 00:23:45.955 Politics solved. 00:23:46.395 --> 00:23:49.235 You can't traumatize each other if you're playing a video game together. 00:23:49.255 --> 00:23:51.815 God, it's like tabletop gaming. 00:23:53.735 --> 00:23:54.455 In that way. 00:23:54.475 --> 00:24:00.315 And if you play games together, obviously politics are never going to come up. 00:24:00.575 --> 00:24:03.995 Politics are never going to influence the way that you treat each other and talk to each other. 00:24:04.015 --> 00:24:08.795 You're never going to accidentally traumatize each other, re-traumatize yourself. 00:24:09.215 --> 00:24:11.915 It's never going to happen because that's not how gaming works. 00:24:11.975 --> 00:24:14.455 If gaming works that way, why would people play games? 00:24:14.675 --> 00:24:27.395 Gamers really could all just be on the same page here, and they could talk in gamer language, right, with all these gamer terms, and it would just like, would be totally fine, because they'd all know what they're talking about. 00:24:27.715 --> 00:24:32.415 But it wouldn't, you know, wouldn't sound, it would be okay. 00:24:32.655 --> 00:24:34.015 That's my point here. 00:24:34.575 --> 00:24:39.315 I'm just trying to search my brain for justifications of why this would work. 00:24:39.995 --> 00:24:45.675 Because I'm, as I talk about it more and more, I'm getting less and less convinced that this would work. 00:24:45.975 --> 00:24:47.915 And I wasn't really convinced to begin with. 00:24:50.275 --> 00:24:54.495 So maybe the clone idea was the best idea. 00:24:54.515 --> 00:24:56.275 Maybe this is the best approach. 00:24:56.295 --> 00:24:59.815 Because if I disagree with myself, I can just get rid of them. 00:24:59.835 --> 00:25:01.875 They're just a clone after all. 00:25:02.115 --> 00:25:05.675 And as we know from Star Wars, clones don't matter. 00:25:05.695 --> 00:25:07.135 I'm going to kill you. 00:25:07.175 --> 00:25:08.335 I'm going to kill you. 00:25:09.975 --> 00:25:10.775 It doesn't matter. 00:25:10.775 --> 00:25:11.535 I'm a clone. 00:25:11.555 --> 00:25:12.335 You can kill me. 00:25:14.795 --> 00:25:15.295 Hang on. 00:25:15.295 --> 00:25:16.135 I have an idea. 00:25:16.335 --> 00:25:17.235 What if we... 00:25:17.435 --> 00:25:18.635 Okay, I've got it. 00:25:18.795 --> 00:25:19.495 I've got it. 00:25:19.515 --> 00:25:21.075 I've figured it out. 00:25:21.295 --> 00:25:21.855 Great. 00:25:24.235 --> 00:25:26.695 We have to do a time loop. 00:25:27.015 --> 00:25:29.135 Now, here's the thing. 00:25:30.155 --> 00:25:42.035 We use the time loop to see how we can put together the perfect group that will never re-traumatize, never cause drama, never cause problems, right? 00:25:43.115 --> 00:25:49.615 And then we will try and try again until we can put together that perfect group, then we leave the time loop with the perfect group. 00:25:50.155 --> 00:25:52.855 I do have one problem with this. 00:25:53.375 --> 00:25:55.715 You only get one day of sample. 00:25:56.035 --> 00:26:01.775 If someone's in a good mood that day, they're gonna always be in a good mood that day. 00:26:02.135 --> 00:26:06.455 And you're never gonna know if they're good with the group when it's not a good day. 00:26:06.475 --> 00:26:13.015 That's the thing, because you can also manipulate everyone around you in a harmful way. 00:26:13.035 --> 00:26:14.035 Great. 00:26:14.495 --> 00:26:15.195
