Speaker 0 (0s): Woo. Good morning, Monday, Monday, Monday, Monday. Well, you be go start another week, right? I'm going to try to be like a James Brown and get on the good foot. Right? Remember that song gotta get on the good foot. How'd you guys. We can do anything fun. 

I did. I did some cool stuff. I did some cool stuff. I got some time to think about a few things about, about our place in this world about interacting and transitioning and learning. Maybe judging, maybe some empathy. It seems to me that right now, our country, our world is in a pretty big transformation. 

In fact, when you start thinking about that, you go, yeah, there's a lot of things changing right now, but isn't that always the case. Isn't things always changing. It just seems that now things are changing at a pace that has picked up steam. And it's hard to, it's hard to understand where you're supposed to go. Unless you have a map it's hard to understand the right place to be at. 

Unless you have a guide it's difficult to know where you're going to end up, unless you can study about history or you can, unless you can understand where people before you have been in the same situation and what they've done. It also seems to me like there's a pretty big gap in demographics and, and intergenerational ideas. 

So what I mean by that is that people who are in authority positions tend to be, especially now, there seems to be a really big gap between like those people run in for mayor right now in Hawaii that are 90 years old, 75 years old. And while I'm not, I'm sure those people have a lot of good ideas. However, I'm not sure that there are, there are in touch with what the youth of today want the world to look like in the future. 

And it seems to me 

Speaker 1 (3m 0s): That you know, what, what it seems to me that a lot of the older generation, you know, they're living longer and they're, they're healthy. And they, they want to contribute to the world. They want to make their Mark. They they're beginning to think about their legacy and they, they want there to be a little bit of some of the great things in the future that was in their life. 

And so they're trying to make those things happen by clinging to power and staying in roles of leadership and, and leveraging their finances and their authority to stay in positions of power. And I think it's detrimental to the society at this point in time because the youth don't want what a lot of the older generation ones, you know, my, my nephew he's 10 years old and he was talking to his mom the other day. 

And he, this is what he told. This is what he told her. He says, mom, I don't understand why the people got to go and work so much and have so little, you know, why, why is it that corporations just don't hire twice as many people and give half the people six months off. And then the other people have six months off and you can, I mean, on some levels, it's a naive perspective, but it's pretty beautiful, right? Why not? 

Why not allow people the freedom to be creative? Why not allow people to have the ability to explore their inner nature and explore their own dreams. Now you can say, Oh George, when no one has to work for anybody, you're free to go out and explore and start whatever you want. 

Yeah. Kind of, kind of, but you don't get to pick who your parents are. You don't get to pick where you're born at. And if you come from a family that has it as well to do, it's much easier to go out and start something. Then if you come from a place of poverty, however, I'm kind of getting away from myself a little bit.
