Speaker 0 (0s): Welcome back everybody. Thursday 

Speaker 1 (19s): It's Thursday where does the time go? Well, it flies when you're having fun. Time flies, time drags, I guess it depends on how you define time. Are you having the time of your life? What time? 

What do you mean by the time of my life at the time? Are you having a good time? Well, not having a bad time. Who's time. Is it? If I'm hear in your hair, it does that make it our time. Remember that line from fast times at Ridgemont high, when Jeff Spicoli orders that pizza, the teacher gets all mad and he's like, how dare you order this pizza on my time? And Jeff Spicoli says, well, if you're here and I'm here, does that make it our time? 

Nothing wrong with a little pizza on our time. Amazing how that is. Isn't it. When the smartest kid in, when the smartest kid in school in the seventies was a stoner surfer, the only one thinking critically and they make him out to be the dummy. Amazing. It's a good segue. It's a good segue into something I've been thinking about lately. 

And that is the art of subversion. You know what that is? You can call it Deanna fighting without fighting. A lot of times we hear things like, Oh, that was very subversive. Or we hear about subversive tactics. Oh yes. My friend subversion subversion is a subtle way of making radical change. 

Proud of what I've created. It was radical. It does that make sense? If you want to create change a radical change, a radical change, you can be proud of proud of what I'm creating. It was radical is the best way to do that is like the boiling frog. Don't get me wrong. If you wanted to do radical change and you have the means, you have coercive power. You could bring in a military, Assassinate the leader in change the country that can happen. 

And it does happen all the time. However, when you think of subversion, I want you to think of martial arts. Think about if someone much bigger than you is going to throw a punch and they're you are, and there's this giant of a man are this giant, have a woman and their getting ready to punch you right in the face. If your a small person, you can't absorb to many of those blows out, but what you could do, if you trained hard, you could be conscious of the type of punch they're going to throw. 

And when they throw that punch, you could lean back out of the way. And then as they go to punch you, as hard as they can, you lean back and you grab their arm and you pull their arm in the direction in which they are punching you, help them throw that punch. And that will use their momentum against them. I remember once when I was a young man and I was wrestling, I went and I wrestled this giant of a man who was probably 20 pounds heavier than me. 

And he was just, he looks like one big, giant muscle.
