Modern Dating Woes, A.I. Robots & Uncovering Tulsa Massacre
0 Playsin 1 hour
In this episode of Unsolicited Perspectives, Bruce Anthony and J. Aundrea dive into the complex realities of modern dating, the rise of A.I. robots, and the ongoing quest to uncover America’s hidden racial injustices, including the Tulsa Massacre. From dating apps and ghosting culture to robotic companions like fembots, we explore how technology, race, and gender are reshaping human interaction and society.
We unpack the ethical dilemmas surrounding artificial intelligence in relationships, including whether A.I. partners are the future of love or a sign of growing social detachment. The conversation then shifts to Black history, highlighting new findings on the Tulsa Race Massacre and its devastating impact on Black Wall Street. This discussion sheds light on systemic oppression, intersectionality, and the ongoing fight for racial justice.
Packed with personal stories, humor, and raw commentary, this episode offers thoughtful insights on navigating life, love, and justice in the 21st century. #podcast #ai #datingapps #TulsaRaceMassacre #unsolicitedperspectives

Speaker
What up, sis? What up, brother?
Jay Andrea's Semester Project Excitement

School starts back up tomorrow. OK. So um getting ready to be extremely busy. um I'm actually ah doing a really cool semester project with a local rehab facility that Carrie cares for stroke victims so i will be doing some data analysis for them so that's pretty cool a lot a lot going on but i'm excited um sorry for the new semester. I wonder since you're down there in atlanta working for that is that the same place where jamie fox was.
00:01:51
Speaker
So he actually was taken to a facility in Chicago. Ah, OK. Yeah. All right, he was in Chi-town. Yeah, he was in Chi-town. Our neck of the woods.
Sibling Banter and Audience Preferences
00:02:01
Speaker
Yes, yes. OK, well, that's cool. Seems like you got some exciting stuff going on. You know, the audience really loves you, so we like to give them little updates about what what it is. it like that They like you better than they do me. It's like, when your sister going to be on the show? I'm like, every week? Every week? Every week. Every week. I'm here.
00:02:18
Speaker
The episode comes out every time, every day, so. No, not the same time, every day. don't I mean, every day of the week. Yeah, every day of the week. that One day. I hung out with my bestie last night and we had a really dope time. She came over and we just, she was like, what do you want to do? I said nothing. I'm still recovering from my trip down on land. She was like, so we're not going to go anywhere. I'm like, I'm not getting up off this couch. Perfect. She's like, perfect.
00:02:43
Speaker
Okay, so y'all are both on the same page. Yeah, we were on the same page. like We getting up there. But we have said that we're going to be out in the streets. That we're going to routinely get out there in these streets. Get back out here on this dating scene for real, for real. Okay.
00:02:58
Speaker
And we had an interesting conversation about dating apps.
Challenges of Online Dating at 40
00:03:01
Speaker
And I got off of dating apps years ago, won't get back on them. And and she was talking about them and she was talking about how, and it's not gender specific, I think this is a male and female issue, but she was talking about how men are, or people in general are just not decisive.
00:03:21
Speaker
o when it comes to online dating. And I was like, yeah, no, ah online dating, I've always equated it to lazy dating because you can sit on your couch yeah and try to meet people. But all you're really doing is you're scrolling through, you're finding out first, are you physically attracted to the person? And then maybe, maybe you'll actually read the profile. But most of the time, if the person that is receiving a message the other person may have just skimmed the profile and you're just messaging all the time. And then people get into these messaging relationships where they're talking every single day and it's like, yo, we need to, like, are you ready to meet up? And a lot of times people are just like, yeah, let's do it. And then ghost, because people aren't really looking to really connect. What they're looking to do is fill the time because they're lonely. And bored. Yes, lonely and bored. And I had a conversation with a friend
00:04:14
Speaker
A female friend of mine, when I was out in Atlanta, and they were like, how are you loving Atlanta? Have you been going out? And I was like, nah, I've just been chilling. And like, you should go out and meet some girls. And I was like, why would I go out and meet girls in Atlanta? I don't live live in Atlanta. Well, just so you can have somebody talk to a hangout. I was like, oh, you mean waste somebody's time. Waste somebody and my time. And they, without thinking, yeah. And I was like, think about what you just said. Think about how toxic and problematic that is. Yeah. No, I know i know people who are on these data naps so that they can go to dinner.
00:04:49
Speaker
You know, like I know people are like, eh, I get a free meal out of it. It's cool. You know, I, I refuse to get on it. I was on, I think hinge for about 36 hours before I got overwhelmed and got off. And then not 36, not a day and a half. And I'm just literally, that was it. That was all I could take. And, um, but the, the issue is, is like,
00:05:15
Speaker
my age you know you know i'm 40 like i'm still a 40 like you know but some of the guys are you know well well you know like it's a different and i'm i'm not ready to date somebody's papa like yet you know yeah we're at this weird age where if you never had kids You're still very young, still vibrant. Yes. If you have kids now, I've dated some some single moms that are still about hanging out and having a good time so that like you can still be young. But I remember one time I was dating a single mom. We are literally the same age. She is three months younger than me.
00:05:58
Speaker
And I was wearing ah these jeans. The jeans were very trendy. Yeah. Right. But they were like, not stonewashed, but like high. They were like blue jeans, but they were like light colored blue jeans. Yeah. They were definitely trendy. Like I remember you and my goddaughter and a couple of people like, oh, I really like those jeans. So jeans look tight.
00:06:19
Speaker
And she was like, why are you wearing those 1980s jeans? And I was like, oh god, you don't realize. This is the trend now. This is what's happening now. Because you don't get out. Because you don't. I was like, she gets out, but. Blood.
00:06:33
Speaker
going to get coffee from time to time with a friend, going to get a cocktail or something with a friend. That's not being in the streets. No, that's that so not being in the streets. And it's not knowing what's going on. Like, and if, and if I use some, some slang or something, you don't know what I'm talking about. You know, a lot of, a lot of the people that I was seeing like had not just kids, but like grown kids. So like they were like, you know, just done. And really honestly, it feels like,
00:07:04
Speaker
A lot of people are looking for a nurse. Hey, I'm going to be real honest with you. And I'm just not down with it. I'm going to be real honest with you. I have some friends who are in their early 30s, and they haven't done the whole marriage thing. See, me and my bestie have been married, had done the wedding, and
Merit, Race, and Historical Context
00:07:21
Speaker
done that whole thing. So that's not even what we're looking for. If it happens, great. But what we're looking for is a partner that we can I literally have a partner, right? yeah And for me, it goes back to that old sin bad joke. I just want somebody to recognize the signs of stroke. I mean, to a certain extent, like that's real. Like the conversations I would have would be like, you know, what's your blood pressure? How's your cholesterol? Do you wear your CPAP every night to sleep? Like, you know, like,
00:07:58
Speaker
But it's like, ah ah also a part of me still feels very young and doesn't want to have these conversations. So I was like, you know what? Plus, I could tell nobody was reading my profile because it says on there that I was an avid gardener and a lot of their profiles, the people I match with are like,
00:08:18
Speaker
No to gardening and all this stuff. I was like, OK, so you didn't read my profile at all because I try to be up front of like, you know, there's some people obviously don't like that. And, you know, but ah yeah, I was just like, OK, y'all not even reading my profiles. ah I can't. I don't want to do this again. No, people do not read the profiles. And I used to throw a trick in mine. Right. I used to say either make an outrageous comment that would be intriguing to the person and that they would be like, what do you mean by this? Or I would put a math equation on there. If you read my profile, please solve this math equation. And it'd be something simple, like yeah five times three equals what? You know, just something simple. And if I got a message and there was no math equation, like the the answer wasn't in there, I was like, oh, so you didn't read my profile. right You just saw my my pictures. You just saw my pictures. And then I know a lot of people will, is it swiping right when you want?
00:09:16
Speaker
you to say Yes, okay. I know a lot of people will swipe right. on everybody just to see who they match with. Wow. And then filter that way. So I was just, you know, I was having a conversation and with my bestie and I was like, yeah, we just, let's just go out in the streets because I feel like one, um I don't want to have those daily conversations of how was your day? What'd you do today? bye but That is boring. I don't want to have that in person. Right. And so I definitely don't want to do it through an app.
00:09:50
Speaker
i don't i I don't know when this happened, but i don't want know good I don't want no good morning text message. Don't good morning and text message text message me or good night until we had a relationship. because ah But also, I'm not a morning person, so I don't want to see it. And then when I see it and then I have to like respond, like um I'm already angry. because i um i because Because it's the morning that I got to get up, the dogs have woken me up or something. I got to get up for school, something like that. So I'm not, I'm not already not in a good mood. And then you can say, hey, good morning, queen of the. I'm just like, okay, I can't, I don't want to. Don't big up me in the morning. I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it.
00:10:35
Speaker
I can't be know all the only person that feels that way. Some people I know get annoyed with good morning texts. I think. And this is a conversation. Once again, I was having one of my best. yet A key determination if you are interested in the person, if you like the person, is if things that normally annoy you, when they do it, it doesn't annoy you. That means that at the very least, you are interested in them. And I think that's a starting point. yeah I know there have been, I'm gonna be honest, the very last girlfriend that I had, and we dated for almost a year.
00:11:09
Speaker
I was trying to bail on that first date and it was my bestie saying, don't bail. Like I was not. interested. Like I was, but I wasn't. I was like, take it or leave it, which is kind of how I am in life anyway. I could just take it or leave anything. I was kind of like, take it or leave it. yeah And it just so happened that we had a connection. But a lot of people out here, like you say, is doing that lazy date and they're bored. They need something to do. And a lot of people out here ghosting, which by the way, is the weakest form of
00:11:42
Speaker
human response that you could ever have. It's pretty terrible. Just come up with the little thing that you leave in your notes app where it's like, hey, I had a great time with you. I don't see this working out. So that whatever some nice way of saying it that you just copy and paste, it's not that hard, y'all. Like, what do you think people are going to do? Nobody's going to do anything. Like just, I mean, I guess there's some psychos out there, some but like, i honestly, leave it alone. But I'm a my friend.
00:12:13
Speaker
No, tell your story first. Okay. All right. Okay. All right. We're going to say boy for the after hours. Let me write them on those now. Yeah. Let me, let me write that down. that why it Right away. Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to listen to the after hours, uncensored or talking straight ish, it's on our patreon page at patreon dot.com backslash, slash, uh, something just take pretty, just pretty, pretty,
00:12:42
Speaker
patreon.com backslash unsolicited perspectives where you can find our patreon page or just go on unsolicitedperspectives.com and click that patreon link button and it'll take you straight there. So going back to the story that I want to tell about, hey, just being upfront and honest with somebody. So you're on dating sites to meet people, yeah which means that you're going out on dates. Yes.
00:13:07
Speaker
you might be going out on dates with two or three people at the same time. That's what you're doing. Yeah, that's what dating is. That's what dating is. I think a lot of people don't understand. When you're dating, you're going on dates, and it's not always the same person. It's called dating. It's called casual dating. That's what it was. So I was casually dating, and I met this young lady on site. And it just so happened that I had dated, if not her best friend, a really, really good friend of hers.
00:13:36
Speaker
And so I messaged her,
Dating App Mishaps and Etiquette
00:13:38
Speaker
but then i she like updated her pictures and then I went on a profile because we were still messaging through the through the app. And I looked at the updated pictures and I said, oh snap, like.
00:13:49
Speaker
Like, do you know this person? And it's like, yeah, it's one of my good friends. I was just like, hey, I just want to let you know. I don't know how this feels. I don't know how you feel about this, but I used to date her. Yeah. She was like, OK. So she talked to her friend, and she was like, Bruce is great. You should definitely go date. So I got the cosign, which also lets me know I'm never the problem. But anyway.
00:14:08
Speaker
Okay. That's what you got from that. like go ma ah So we start hanging and we start chatting and we're planning on going on a date, but something happened. Something family related happened. and I had to go down to, uh, Richmond. And so I had to cancel the date and they were just like, well, Hey, you coming back tonight? I'll just stop by your place. Let's just meet up. And I was like, Oh, okay. Well, it's kind of like an important issue. I don't know how I'm going to be.
00:14:35
Speaker
emotionally and mentally, but yeah like definitely if if I'm up for it, definitely. yeah I wasn't up for it. So we had set up another time to go on a date, and I had really, I'd been going on and a couple of dates with this other young lady, and I was just like, you know what? I'm just going to put my focus in on this person. We're vibing, and I really want to see what this is like. So I messaged the young woman that I hadn't gone on a date yet with. This is a key point. Had not gone on a date yet with her.
00:15:03
Speaker
Okay, not met in person had not met in person at at all. And I sent her a message like, Hey, I really think you're a dope person. I just want to let you know that I've decided to to sort of see somebody exclusively like just focusing on this one person dating, because we really made a connection. I wish you all the best you're a dope person. But I don't want to lead you on when I'm going to be doing something else. It was something to that. I'm paraphrasing. Yeah. She came back with, well, you shouldn't have been talking to me in the first place, blah, blah, blah, blah. This is ignorant. This is the reason why I don't like messing with guys like you. Y'all are liars. I was like, i ah lie about you know, for you're not my girlfriend. I, I, I, guys.
00:15:52
Speaker
What are you doing out here? We're messaging on an app. My life still continues on when I'm not on this app. Like, you're not my girlfriend. We did we have not met in person. Like, there is nothing. Huh? Mm-hmm. OK. Well, I know what it was. This ain't the after hours of the system, but I will say it. I know what it was. Her her friend, Cosine.
00:16:21
Speaker
a Her friend cosigned, right? and She was like, hey, I'm trying to see what that talk about chasea which that you but yeah that's about. And then I pulled back and was just like, hey, you know, nah, I'm gonna go do this other thing. And she got upset. She was really looking forward to it because she was really going to make serious concessions to come and see me. And I was like, hey, look, ah I'm going to date this other person because I actually gone on several dates with her and I want to see what's up. Now, obviously it didn't work with that other person. I made a horrible mistake.
00:17:00
Speaker
at and okay happen And I'm going to tell the story of the woman that bucked at me, her friend, the reason why me and her stopped dating. But I got to save that for the after hours. OK. I'm writing that down, too. That's another one we got to save for the after hours. But finishing up this Dilly Daddins settling, because I want to get to serious top topics, but I want to just broach this real fast, because I thought it was fascinating.
Criticism of 'The Equalizer' and Social Media
00:17:26
Speaker
I had been on you since the show started to start watching the equalizer when I was down in Atlanta.
00:17:32
Speaker
You were binging, we were binging it together. I'm still binging it. and Because I absolutely love the Equalizer TV show. This is the one, ladies and gentlemen, with Queen Latifah. I guess, I don't, it's on Netflix, that's the reason why. There's been a lot of social media talk on Netflix, I mean, on Twitter about the show, and it is everybody dragging her, saying it is so unbelievable, the fight scenes are ridiculous, and that nobody can believe the fact that she is actually the Equalizer. And I'm like, the show is great, I don't know what everybody is talking about.
00:18:02
Speaker
First of all, y'all, it's in this fifth season. So you are way too late for these for these for these critiques. ah Second of all, no, it's 100% believable. I'm sorry, that she knows how to use a gun and that she knows how to fight. Why is it not believable? Because she's thick.
00:18:24
Speaker
o huh Oh, you don't you don't see you don't see her running? First of all, she'll do a quick sprint. this this that is not like It's not like yeah she'd be chasing people blocks and blocks, OK? So that's the first thing. It would be a quick sprint. And I think it's because of her age and her size. And that's the only reason why y'all don't think she could be the equalizer. But funny thing, she is or she has been for five seasons now. so It can't be her age because the original equalizer TV show, he was 75 years old. I'm exaggerating, but he was old. And Denzel ain't young. So it's not the age. It is the age. It is because there is a difference between men getting older and women getting older in society. But she doesn't look old. She looks young on the show. But everybody still knows she's over 50, right? Like, so, I mean, everybody still knows that. And so, but like, I think it's her age, I think it's her size. Yeah, she's 54. And it's a woman? And she's a woman, and she's a black woman. But, um, no. It'd be black people talking about this black man. Actually, no, some black women talking about it as well. Like, I don't believe it.
00:19:35
Speaker
Right, because again, um you know people can also still be caught up in patriarchy. like that that's That's not surprising when it be your own people that that talk that kind of mess. But no, I love the show. The show is fantastic. I think it is believable. Have I come across some episodes where I'm like, okay, now,
00:19:59
Speaker
Holy, here I go, y'all doing too much. Pull it back. There was a scene that was getting traction on Twitter about her fighting three dudes with a scarf. I haven't seen it, but Mike Epps is in that episode, and I was like, oh, I definitely need to watch this episode. Yeah, I'm definitely going to watch that. but um Yeah, I, okay. Yeah, I mean, I guess. Yeah, okay. There are some times that where I'm like, all right. Like, all right, okay. But Denzel also took on his own commando team and equalize a two and one. Right. During a hurricane. With, I believe, no weapons. Like, I don't think he had- Yeah, he had some weapons.
00:20:36
Speaker
He did some home alone trap in this home city. Yeah, like he did that. Spoiler alert. It wasn't like he he was rolling around with an AK. You know what I'm saying? Taking money. Who broke up with an AK anymore? I don't know. It was like the 1990s, Compton. oh I hope your friend gonna kill me on that one. I didn't have to use my AK.
00:20:53
Speaker
The day was a good day. um I don't know, but it wasn't like, I mean, it was still like, you know, makeshift weapons or whatever was handy. um And it's still, you ain't really, does Elliot run? He walks slowly and casually into every situation and he sat down. You ever notice he was always in a chair?
00:21:19
Speaker
You make it work, you make it work. And the thing is, it's not like the equalizers of the past where she's doing it alone, essentially. She's not. She has an entire team. Right. Yeah. The NYPD is behind it. Hell, even the district attorney is or is or is her girl now. So it's like she got a whole team of people plus her CIA resources. It's not like she's doing this by herself. Right. Yeah.
00:21:46
Speaker
It just, y'all please just watch this. It's okay for you to believe a little bit of fantasy every once in a while. Like, I feel like it's okay. And also, you know,
00:22:03
Speaker
Big people, we capable, ah I say we, we, came yes, we capable of more than what y'all think. I know, I know ah thick girls that are yoga instructors that they do. ah ah I've hired them. Yoga and Zumba instructors, I've hired them. Yes, they be on the ah doing the pole classes yeah and flipping and flipping all around that pole. I don't know what that is, but OK. But you know the pole where you can flip. No, no, either from flat I don't know what word that you use. And this is the only time that I've been able to call you out for a saying some word that don't make no sense. Because I don't know this, but I've only taken one class before. It was too hard, and I never went back.
00:22:45
Speaker
ah
00:22:48
Speaker
So I don't know the technical term for all the flips and floops, okay? now But they be doing it. that's That's what it was. I don't know what the floops is. They're out there as dancers. You've seen them as backup dancers. Hell, all of Lizzo's backup dancers are plus side. Lizzo. Lizzo. Like, if the fact that you think just because somebody big that that means that they can't throw a punch, that's ridiculous. Like, it's absolutely ridiculous. And shut up.
00:23:12
Speaker
Oh, hey, shut up from my sister. you Shut up. some But on that note, we're going to get to a more serious topic talking about black people.
Tulsa Massacre Report and Historical Impact
00:23:22
Speaker
Yeah. And we're going to be talking about the test Tulsa massacre and the Justice Department's new findings. We're going to get into that next.
00:23:39
Speaker
All right, so ladies and gentlemen, the Justice Department just released a new report on the Tulsa Massacre, the results from the review under the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crimes Act. If y'all don't know who Emmett Till is, Jesus, you really should. That's American history. Look it up and Google it and just their images. ah Let's move on, because this is going to depress me. But yeah ah what the report says, it describes a massacre as a systematic attack on the Greenwood community. So there's a little historical context. The massacre occurred from May 31st to June 1st in 1921, involving up to 10,000 white residents against an entire black community. It was triggered by unfounded allegations by Dick Rowland, which were sensationalized by the local media.
00:24:30
Speaker
Typically, if you hear anything about any of these type of massacres, it is always a unfounded allegation, I guess a black man, typically towards a white woman. That's what it's always about. The findings and acknowledgements emphasize the massacre's brutality and its classification as a coordinated attack rather than mob violence. How is it a coordinator attack? Police officers deputize white men, drunk white men, during a Tulsa race massacre. Once again, remember, they're drunk white men that are riled up through sensationalized local media advertising an unfounded accusation against a black man, okay? This is all important information to understand.
00:25:18
Speaker
This action, by them deputizing these drunk white men, the action significantly contributed to the escalation of violence against the black community in Greenwood, as tensions escalated on the evening of May 31st, 1921, when a white mob gathered to demand the lynching of Dick Rowland. The Tulsa police took controversial measures Instead of protecting black Americans in this area, the local law enforcement officials enlisted members of the white mob as deputies. Eyewitnesses accounts reveal that to the police, okay? States that the prosecution is, this ah report also states that the prosecution is no longer possible due to expired statutes of limitation and the absence of living
00:26:05
Speaker
ah perpetrators. But, you know, we are still trying to right the wrongs of the past. There's been talks of reparations by state representatives in Oklahoma. Virginia Goodwin is one of those involved.
00:26:21
Speaker
has been acknowledgments of prior legislation efforts that recognize the moral responsibility without direct reparations as well. And after this massacre, while many residents were left homeless due to the destruction of their neighborhood, the community began the difficult process of rebuilding. African-Americans in Tulsa and across the country rallied to provide assistance and resources to devastated victims. So basically with this with this report, there's a lot in this report.
00:26:50
Speaker
what Everybody always thought, and when I learned about that, I thought it was a mob that was just like got riled up and went crazy. But no, this was more of a calculated effort yeah by the police department ah and Tulsa during the time to deputize these white men to go and raid the homes, kill people. Yeah.
00:27:16
Speaker
in this community. by By the way, for those that don't understand what Tulsa was, this was called Black Wall Street. It was a thriving black community. And this isn't the only instance of something like this happened. There are many instances of black Americans thriving in late 1800s and and ah early 1900s in their own cities.
00:27:40
Speaker
that and people in the surrounding areas, jealous and destroy and bombed these cities. And take away from black Americans. And it's great that this information is being released. It's also a hundred years too late. Yeah. Yeah. And what what is important to understand also about Tulsa is that they had an ordinance mandating residential segregation.
00:28:09
Speaker
So even though the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional the following year, I mean, they still maintained those segregated neighborhoods. So imagine you're you're a segregated neighborhood. You're thinking as a white person, ain't no way the black side of town doing well.
00:28:33
Speaker
oh yeah And then you look over and you see a bunch of black professionals, doctors, dentists, lawyers, serving the community. They got their own grocery stores, newspapers, movie theaters. like there there live They're living their lives well and doing well. I mean, the tension in the town um was already at its peak. right And then you have this
00:29:09
Speaker
this incident with Dick Rowland, which was not an incident. ah right He just got into an elevator, and there was a white elevator operator. They probably knew each other because he was employed in the same building as a shoeshiner. They probably knew each other. but and it And it really doesn't. They just said they found her in a distraught state, and then they thought that she had been assaulted. But the thing is, did anybody ask her?
00:29:38
Speaker
You know what I'm saying? And then, of course, um ah Dick Rowland, of course, denied it. But that's the the precipice of of this whole situation. And it's like you said, it's always based on some unfounded allegation.
00:30:00
Speaker
and And just this feeling of, if they have, then we don't have. Because this is a zero-sum game.
00:30:11
Speaker
So when I brought this up. So it wasn't, I say all that to say, it had nothing to do with that young girl. No. There's ah there's a bigger issue. There was a reason why I brought all this up.
00:30:26
Speaker
because as I was reading the story, I was like, yeah, and, like the like there were reports that came out to release, I was reading, I was like, yeah, and like none of this surprises me. I've had conversations with, well, I've had conversations with kind of people that I know, and then I've had conversations with internet trolls. And they are so quick to say, black people are always claiming the victim, everything should be based off of merit.
00:30:54
Speaker
And so I take that argument, and this is the reason why I brought up this topic, I take this argument of merit-based success, right? Yeah, yeah. And how there are groups of people out there, and they're not all white men, right? It's not always white men. Sometimes it's men because women are making impressive progress right that are surpassing men in both academics and uh the workforce even though not salaries but all these things but entrepreneurship entrepreneurship all this stuff and and people always talk about things should be based on merit merit merit merit this is a lot of what response i get stop playing a victim this was a hundred years ago okay well let me tell you how things build and progress so
00:31:47
Speaker
You have us being released from bondage with never given the 40 acres in mule, never given land, none of that stuff. If you were lucky,
00:32:02
Speaker
you found some way to become an indentured serviced somehow, paid yourself out of indentured servitude, even though that was illegal, but it still happened. Paid yourself out of indentured serviced hoot, you bought yourself some land, and maybe your land was prosperous. Maybe more prosperous than your neighbors who did not look like you, and what they would do is is they would poison your mules or destroy your land, or just straight up take your land, okay?
00:32:31
Speaker
So every time there's progression in North Carolina, and right after civil war, during reconstruction, there were a lot of black people who were voted to the legislator, not just statewide, but also federal. They re-runked the rules because they were like, all these black people can't be,
00:32:48
Speaker
in Congress, yeah state or federal. right So the every time there's progress, there's always a pushback. When people talk about merit and they they talk about affirmative action and and and quotas and DEI, this is what they're really saying.
00:33:06
Speaker
What they're really saying is, I think that I'm special. You can't compete with me. You're being given an advantage. That's not the case. yeah What's happening is these people are being given an opportunity. You're not special. You're either average or guess what, mediocre. When you're competing against a smaller pool, because there are limitations to people of color and women.
00:33:29
Speaker
Yes. That are not being equal able to be included in this competition for progress. Right. When you are limiting that pool of people, yeah, you might stand out. Your mediocreness might stand out. Yeah. But when you expand that pool,
00:33:46
Speaker
And you're competing against other people of color and women. You might find out, oh, I'm not that special. And that's what's essentially happened. I had a friend, a lot of white people will say, I'm poor. I grew up poor and I pulled myself up. And I'm like, hey, that's great. Let me explain to you my lineage and my family.
00:34:05
Speaker
I, you, are the first generation in our family, our cousins, first generation in our family being born with all of our rights. That means our parents were not born with all of our rights. Let me tell you what our paternal grandfather did, who, by the way,
00:34:20
Speaker
did not graduate high school. He had to go to work. He only had a 10th grade education. He raised three kids. Of those three kids, all of them got their college degree. Two of them got their masters. From that lineage, there are multiple college ah graduates and things of that nature. Us, our parents who were not born with their rights, both college graduates, our father with a master's degree, our brother, two degrees, you getting your master's degree, me, I have two degrees. Guess what?
00:34:50
Speaker
We're actually exceptional. I'm sorry that if your family with every opportunity that's been given to them in this country were successful.
00:35:02
Speaker
it's it's not even though it work It's not even the i i you see progress. as So that's what this was. This was Tulsa. This was Black Wall Street. This was progress and success and it was jealousy because the people that were in the surrounding areas who didn't had that Didn't want to o admit it, but had to come to the realization that you're just not special. yeah That you've been lied to. yeah And that you're either average or mediocre. And I'm sorry to give people out there that realization. I'm sorry to tell you, you're not that special. But guess what?
00:35:40
Speaker
You're not. And it's not solely about opportunities. And I understand that there are white people out there. There's a circle of poverty that you've grown up in poverty. And and and it is hard to pull yourself up. It is yeah absolutely hard. It's even harder to pull yourself up when you have laws specifically set against laws it's trying to make. Yeah. Yeah. And that' in I want to be clear when we talk about opportunity,
00:36:09
Speaker
for white people.
Race, Gender, and Opportunity Equality
00:36:11
Speaker
and And they're thinking, no, I grew up poor. My parents are not educated. We grew up in a rural area where farm folks or whatever, you know, we don't have any opportunities. doesn't that That's not what we mean by opportunity. What we mean by opportunity is that your race is not a deterrent for the things that you want to do. exactly Our race in this country is a deterrent Our gender is a deterrent for what we wanna do. Our gender identity or a sexual identity or ability or age or religion, these are deterrents.
00:36:51
Speaker
in this country from doing the things that we want to do. And so what we're asking for or what we're simply seeking is and a level playing field where all of us get the opportunity to do the thing. All of us have the opportunity to do the things that we want to do, not hindered by things that are outside of our control. so And I'm not saying that poverty in this country To be poor in this country is extremely expensive. And anybody who knows, anybody who's been broke like me knows.
00:37:30
Speaker
knows that you got to put down payments for everything, from your lights to your auto insurance, you that if you're poor in this country, they make it so expensive for you to live. And especially if you live in a red state that didn't expand Medicare and makes it impossible for you to get ah government assistance, it's even more difficult to pull yourself or your schools are underfunded, hospitals are underfunded. Everything is, it is incredibly difficult and no one is is is saying that it is not. It is incredibly difficult to pull yourself up out of poverty. But when you are, when it is compounded with racial and gender inequities, it becomes that much more impossible.
00:38:26
Speaker
So we're just saying, I'm not asking you to give me anything. I'm not asking you to give me anything. What I'm asking you to do is stop keeping me from things because of my race, because of my gender, because of my ability or my age or any of these things. I want you to stop closing the doors as soon as you see a black person walk up.
00:38:54
Speaker
If you let me in the room, I can show you what I can do. But you gotta let me in the room. You let everybody else in the room, you're closing the door on me because I'm a woman.
00:39:08
Speaker
that's That's the only point. And if you can if you as as a white person can look at me and tell me the ways in which your race has hindered you from opportunity, I would love to have that conversation. But until you can have you can tell me definitively in the ways in which you being a white person has has kept you from something, I don't want to hear it.
00:39:31
Speaker
unless it's because you didn't feel comfortable at the Million Man March or something like that. But that's so that's on you. I don't know. I don't know what to do about that. Well, I mean, they say that we they do that we have more rights than them. I don't know what rights these are. No, that you got to understand at at the at the founding of this country, you were given rights.
00:39:51
Speaker
and to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, that other people, at the founding of this country, you were given rights. It's, boy, boy given that GI Bill sure was helping. To be prosperous. Yeah. right bull For a lot of you boomers. Oh, but you know, the Black soldiers had the GI i Bill, too. No, they did not. It was under the discretion of the states. Yes. It was under the discretion of the states. They came back home, a lot of times, to nothing.
00:40:20
Speaker
Nothing, nothing. And thought I just want to say this, you said white people and yes, but also men yeah because this isn't solely a conversation. I didn't want to solely had this conversation about us as black people in this country. I wanted to also had the conversation about women in this country. Now, women, y'all voted against your interests.
00:40:45
Speaker
So some of y'all really voted against your interests. So, yeah hey, it is what it is. But also these men out here that are attacking these women saying that, you know, women, women don't need us anymore because they're out here getting jobs and they're doing better than us. They've been given all the opportunities. First of all, they weren't given.
00:41:04
Speaker
no opportunities. He wasn't they given yak. America just took her foot off of the neck of women. and But they still kept a hand on her ass. So please know that we still we're just now getting that hand off and really not really. like Really not really. and And yes, when men are only competing against men,
00:41:27
Speaker
Yeah, you might think that you're special because you excel in that group. However, once again, when you expand the players in the game, you find out, hey, maybe I'm not that smart. Everybody had a nice jump shot, but that first time you get dunked on.
00:41:42
Speaker
I don't think that was the proper analogy, but okay. But everybody thinks, oh, I got this sweet jump shot. And then MJ, MJ sails over you and dumps that ball. And then you're just like, I'm in a different league. Right. Like you might be the man on the court in your neighborhood. I learned this when I started traveling, right? When I was playing basketball and I started traveling. yeah You know, being in Lynchburg, Virginia, ah I'm it. yeah I am it in Lynchburg, Virginia. Can't nobody really see me in Lynchburg, Virginia. Then I started to expand it just in Virginia. I went down to this little town in Danville, Virginia, yeah and this dude, same height, same age, crossed me up.
00:42:23
Speaker
and dunk, and I said, oh, okay, I think I've got to step up my game. yeah I realized I wasn't the toast of the state like I thought I was. right I was expanded, are introduced to an expansion yeah of other people to compete against, and realized I needed to step my game up. I didn't say that it was ah unfair, yeah that they were better. You didn't dance to carrageemium? No, that was Tonya Harding.
00:42:51
Speaker
I'm not saying you didn't hit him. Yeah, Tanya Harding hit Nancy Kerrigan. Yeah, but I'm saying you didn't Nancy Kerrigan him. You didn't take him out. That wasn't your response. I think the reference that you... Yeah, ah but Nancy Kerrigan was the one that was taken out. Right. You didn't Nancy Kerrigan him.
00:43:07
Speaker
written It would be Tonya Harding. No, you you're Tonya Harding. You're Nancy Kerrigan. He's necessary, right? Okay, so that means I'm tying your heart because time your heart is the one that basically the point is I doesn't matter if I said Tonya or Nancy, so everyone got the reference that they were alive in that time. But a lot of like people don't listen to it. And the thing is, that's not alive.
00:43:32
Speaker
No, if that if I said Tanya Harding, everybody might not have gotten it. But if I but because i said Nancy Kerrigan, anybody who could have gotten it did get it. No, I think, look, why can't you just admit that you wrong? No, you didn't Nancy Kerrigan him. i'm still I still stand by it.
00:43:50
Speaker
And the people in the comments kill her, because it's Tanya Hardin, and it's always been Tanya Hardin and the body. Yes, I know that Tanya Hardin was the perpetrator and Nancy was the victim. I know that. OK. You didn't Nancy Kerrigan him. OK. I'm just... Period. That's what I... I wouldn't say... No, you didn't Nancy Kerrigan. I said what I said. This debate is making me lose air in my body.
00:44:18
Speaker
That's not what I said, dammit. I don't even know why I brought that up. The point is, your response to him wasn't violence towards him. It was... like Your response to him was improving yourself. Yes. so And that's the point I'm trying to make. Like, stop... black If anybody is playing the victim, it's all the people that are playing the victim saying, don't play the victim. that If anybody is the snowflake, it's the person calling people snowflakes. Yes.
00:44:43
Speaker
Yeah. And so white people and men, men of all colors, all races. Stop attacking and dragging these women just because these women are out here going and getting it. If you feel like the only thing that you could bring to the table, going back to dating, the only thing that you could bring to the table in a heterosexual relationship is your money.
00:45:05
Speaker
then, brother, and you'll be that's not enough. because they go enough because we are earn Yeah. we got it Well, sometimes so st that's the wage gap is still asked well at the same position doing the same thing. No, we don't, are right but in general, yeah. Cause I had a,
00:45:25
Speaker
I had a guy once as a, as a enticement, tell me how much he was making. And I made about 20 grand more. So I said, Oh, that's very good for you. And he was talking about how you, he has, you know, nice apartment and bucket while I own a home. So it's like, Oh, okay. That's great. Yeah. For you that you're renting and throwing good money after bed. Ain't nothing wrong with rent. Sometimes, sometimes when something breaks, you just want to call the maintenance to come in and fix it. Let me tell you, homeownership sucks. Don't do it, y'all. I get it. I get it. You know, the opportunity is the best way to build up generational wealth in this country. But my God, I wish I could call maintenance and have someone for free fix my things. for free, that's right. But so back to this Tulsa report, nothing on it surprised me. Nothing surprising, we all knew that. And for anybody that's saying, oh, this happened so long ago, this is one story of many. Of many. Because only if we start like linear down here in Georgia. And there are some that are not 100 years ago, there are some that are 40 years ago. So.
00:46:42
Speaker
Learn about America history. Do a little bit of research. Not that hard. Google is there to be your friend. Yeah. All right. Let's move on to fembots. We're going to get into that next.
Fembots and Loneliness
00:47:04
Speaker
All right, Jay, fembots.
00:47:08
Speaker
Everybody out there is like, what does he mean by this? Okay. The female companion robots from real, real, uh, real botics. This real botics is the name of the company. The female companion robot from real botics named Ira era.
00:47:24
Speaker
Aria is positioned as a highly advanced AI partner designed primarily for companionship and intimate interactions. This robot was prominently showcased at the CES 2025 event where it garnered significant attention for its unique features and capabilities.
00:47:49
Speaker
Just to give you all a quick breakdown, I'm not going to go over all these notes, but how much does it cost, right? So there's a bus model. It's priced at 10,000 niles. This model includes just a head and a neck. There's a modular version. This version can be disassembled for transportation. It's priced at 150,000. And as the full standing model, the most advanced option featuring a rolling base for mobility is priced at $175,000. The purpose and the usage is, of course, companionship. All right. but What are some of the things that you can do? You can physically customize this robot. You can customize its face, its hair, its body features. You can do personality customization, behavior adjustments. Users have the option to modify her interactions with them, including her tone.
00:48:35
Speaker
a voice and responsiveness, allowing the robot to cater to individuals' emotional needs. ah can You can customize its emotional interactions. The AI programming enables her to engage in conversations that reflect different emotional responses, giving her a more relatable character based on user interaction.
00:48:55
Speaker
There's different interaction modes like social and and engagement and intimate conversations. The robot is designed to carry on intimate discussions that can foster emotional bonds representing a more personal connection that some users might seek from a companion. Yes. So Jay, men have gone out there. Look, men are so bent out of shape that women don't need them financially and that they got to put up more work. Yeah.
00:49:25
Speaker
but They had gone out and created a robot, a female robot. That you still got to spend money on. it Listen.
00:49:35
Speaker
oh Okay, you're praying for the robot in the maintenance instead of dinner. like It's the same. like but they can program the robot to fill exactly what they want physically and to have the responses to to them to exactly what they want. Basically, everything that they ever want in a woman, not me, ladies and gentlemen, not me, but some of these alpha males out here, quote unquote, alpha males have created a way where they can design a woman to to to say and do and act exactly the way they want.
00:50:14
Speaker
And it's very lifelike. What happened to phone sex? What happened to that? You know, sex workers also do that. Yeah. You know, so let's just listen.
00:50:28
Speaker
This is what I hate the most, because I'm on the website. Why are the two female robots, these clearly Eastern European women, the very attractive Eastern European women, and Hank, the male robot, is this old ass man with gray hair and wrinkles? I don't understand why they didn't make a hot guy. Why did they only make two too hot ladies and an old man?
00:50:56
Speaker
ah well What are we talking about here? Men for just $175,000, you can have your own fembot and programmer to do whatever you want to your desires. i Look, I understand how this would appeal to certain men. And they can have it. Because the men who this would appeal to, basically having a companion with zero autonomy, y'all can go ahead and keep that.
00:51:23
Speaker
you are taking yourself out of the dating pool and out of terrorizing a froths of flesh and blood women. So y'all go, enjoy. If I see y'all out in the streets, you know, with your real bot, I'm just going to tip my head and say, thank you for taking yourself out of the running because because absolutely not. What I like a robot because that's how I pronounce robot. What I love, and everybody hates it and I can't help it and it's too late and that's just how I pronounce robot. If i build ah if i had ah if i and do I want a robot, yes. As a butler, yeah a personal assistant to take care of, do my laundry when I don't feel like it. To cross the dishes, vacuum, go get the groceries, things like that. I would love to have
00:52:22
Speaker
of a valet or a butler, essentially. But because this robot is not real, it has no rights. So it's just a tool. It's a tool. It's not a person. Let's not go into AI and, like, ah that movie AI or what was it? I don't know. Robin Williams by Man. We're not giving robots rights. OK, we're not doing that.
00:52:51
Speaker
Well, if they evolve and they start to have emotions. Too damn bad, you are still a program. yeah You a look program. It doesn't matter how, listen, it doesn't matter how good the AI is. It is not a, what's the word?
00:53:14
Speaker
It's not capable of independent thought. It's not sentient. It's not sentient. It can only draw from the information that's available to it. It's not always gonna give you the right answer. it it it it's does it have It doesn't have the capacity for creative thought. and Okay, hold on.
00:53:33
Speaker
because this is how technology and AI works. Yes, and in a way that you're right, it can only learn from the information that's given, but that's also human beings, right? We can only learn from the information that's given. As we are given more information, our thought evolves. AI is going to do the same thing. What they yeah might not be able to evolve is emotion. No, we are capable of abstract and creative thought.
00:53:58
Speaker
Who's to say that AI won't develop this? ah Who's to say that AI won't develop this? In order to get it, they would have to be sentient. We can have this conversation. That's what we're talking about right now. or Right now we're talking about Loneliness and honestly the power of loneliness, the um the ah the all-encompassing, ah comprehensive power of loneliness that it can, you know, take people to some pretty pretty interesting places.
Cultural Implications of Fembots
00:54:34
Speaker
You know, if this cuts down on human ah ah human trafficking, that also would be great.
00:54:40
Speaker
Yeah, that okay. So that's a fantastic. I never thought about that. That's a fantastic byproduct of having fem bots. Yeah, you can just purchase the thing to do the things you don't have to, you know, subject a real person to this. So yeah, all right. But Yeah, all right, I don't see a downside to and i'm the sooon all how make certain down spot to it, It takes certain people out of the dating pool and ain't got no business being there. It could have, ah you know, implications on people's mental health, societal implications, cultural, I can see it. What's the downside? The downside is, okay, we we' are becoming lazier and lazier as we're becoming,
00:55:27
Speaker
Ooh, are we becoming more intelligent? I feel like we're getting dumber. I don't think we're becoming lazier. I think we're technology we're eschewing human reaction more, interaction more. Nothing technology has absolutely made us lazier. You've got a robot that vacuums for you.
00:55:45
Speaker
No, it needs a new part. So I've been having to sweep the floor myself. OK. It's a nightmare. You know what people had was doing all their lives? But you could say that about the invention of fire or the wheel or tools for hunting and things like that. Everybody creates tools to make life easier. That is sort of the progression of humanity. We continuously make tools to make things easier.
00:56:13
Speaker
and Okay, yes, hold on, but I don't know how creating fire made us lazy.
00:56:20
Speaker
No, what I'm talking about is... ah You were just giving a bunch of tools. It's not making us lazy. We're using... Well, first of all, we're coming up with these ideas and we're creating them. Yeah, we to not have to do the work anymore.
00:56:34
Speaker
I don't have to do no research anymore. I type in what research I need. You know I'm a researcher. I don't have to do no research anymore. I can just type in what information I need and then I disseminate from that information what the facts are and and and create my own outline. Right, so you're still doing the work.
00:56:51
Speaker
I'm doing some of the work. No, it's it's amazing a lot easier. it's It's just a step up from the card catalog helping you find a book to give you the information to do. It's the same thing. You're doing the same thing. as just You just don't have to go anywhere. What about audio books? People are like, yeah, I read a book the other day. I was like, oh, yeah, what'd you read? I was listening to this book. I was like, well, that's not reading. That's listening. That's not the same thing. What's the difference? They're still getting the information.
00:57:21
Speaker
yeah You're gettingtimation but marness but still getting the story. There is something about reading that teaches you about reading comprehension. You need to be able to see the words, read the words, understand the words. No, I'm still comprehending them. even know there's There's something to be said about audio, audio comp auditory comprehension.
00:57:43
Speaker
Yes, there is. But you didn't read. You listened. You listened to a book. You didn't read the book. I don't see the difference. there and this is coming from And this is coming from a person who dedicated years of her life to literature. I'm telling you, there's no difference between reading a book physically and listening to an audio book. Look, I have had this debate with several people, and I'm going down this hill. And all the people that listen to audiobooks say all the time, it is reading. It is not.
00:58:12
Speaker
reading when you're teaching your kids to learn to read. Yes. Are they going to just listen to the audio book? Are you going to be like, you need to open this book and sound out these words? Nobody is saying that they're reading. We're saying that it's comparable to reading. No, people are saying they're reading a book.
00:58:28
Speaker
Well, that's debt they're not saying it correctly. They listen to an audio book. You know I'm literal. Yeah. Yes, I do. Listen to an audio book. But you still get the content of whatever it is whatever the literature is. So it's it is comparable to reading the book.
00:58:50
Speaker
well It is. I agree to disagree. And if all those people that's going to be in my DMs and the messages and the comments, I don't care if you don't agree. I don't care. This is what I believe. I don't care what you believe. This is what I believe. This is not reading. And I'll tell you, as a data scientist who is who's got ah two classes next semester dedicated to generative AI, I see AI as a tool. Oh, yeah, absolutely. A lot of people look at it as something more than just a tool. A lot of people, when I look at their prompts, ah their GPT prompts, they're putting in, can you do this and this and this and that? No, the AI can't do all of that. you have it it can only It's only scouring the internet for information. That information might not be correct.
00:59:40
Speaker
the information The AI can't create. Well, it can create. It can mimic. No, you can say create an image, make the image look like this. And it will scour the internet for samples and they will compile it, but it will not create something. OK, OK. Well, you know about this more than I do because you're taking classes. All I know is I'm prompt master when it comes to AI. Yeah. That's exactly what I want.
01:00:09
Speaker
there ah There is a way to engineer your prompts to get get what you need. A lot of people do too much, and they think that AI is a person, and it's not. it's It is just a tool. These robotics, these real robots, robots, I hate acting. I'm trying to say robots, because I know people are probably going to drag me for saying robots, but Yeah, because I didn't know what the hell. I thought you was being funny at first. No, I say robots. but And people drag me for it all the time. I'm um' i' over it. ah But but i don't i i ah foresee at first I was like, y'all are ridiculous. But and it still is slightly ridiculous. But I personally do not see a downside except for
01:01:04
Speaker
people who probably already didn't get a lot of human interaction getting even less human interaction. I don't know. I was, I'm a person who used to get a lot of human interaction. And now I've become not a recluse, but that's age and experience. Honestly, that's just knowing the outside. Every time you step out there, you spend $150 and as somebody gets on your nerves, so it's like, Every time. Every time. Two things happen. You spend $150 minimum, and somebody gets on your nerves. So it's like, if you already know that that's what's going to happen when you step outside, you just be like, you know what? I'm just going to stay in my house. I'm paying to live here. Somebody say, let's go to a bar. I got a bar right here in my house. It's fully stocked. Right here. Right here. Yeah. And I'm paying to live here. I'd like to be here. Yeah. Right. Right.
01:01:54
Speaker
i i
01:01:57
Speaker
get get um Get over the initial, it took I had to talk myself through it. i Get over the initial bias of like, bias this is just sad and pitiful. No, I don't i don't think it's sad. Not sad, what do I think? Yeah, maybe. yeah But not, I just find i find it sad and pitiful, not the people, but the situation of people thinking, well,
01:02:26
Speaker
This is my best option because there are still, I'm out there in these streets when I get out there and they are still very, I talk to them all the time. They're interesting people out there in the world. You can gain a new friend, a new ah life partner every day. We're not a life partner, but maybe a friend could be a life partner, yeah but a new, and like a new relationship that's beautiful and engaging and helpful with human beings, you can literally do it every day. If I just sit in the park, I could talk to five people. And of those five people, I might have two or three new buddies. Yeah. I mean, they on the outside of the inner circle, they and they might get to the orbit, right? like or Or they might you know be a couple of light years away to the orbit you know of my inner circle. But at the very least, they're in the solar system.
01:03:16
Speaker
Yeah, but you're operating off the assumption that, one, somebody is comfortable leaving their house. A lot of people don't like doing that. You're also operating off the assumption that people can just talk to people that are around them.
01:03:31
Speaker
A lot of people can't do that. You're right. You're right. like A good, a good movie to watch that should have been dumb, but it was actually very sweet is Lars and the Real Girl as stars ah Ryan Gosling. And it's about, he plays this very socially awkward young man who develops a romantic relationship with a sex doll, a real doll.
01:03:55
Speaker
Um, and it, and it's about him overcoming some of like the social anxieties, awkwardness, some of his trauma things in it. And the, the doll was useful for that. I mean, it's a horror movie, but, um, no, no, no, Larsen, Larsen, the real girl is a comedy, but I was talking about, uh, what's that horror movie is. It's, uh, the doll.
01:04:19
Speaker
And the little girl has the doll, and the doll starts killing people to take care of the little girl. But anyway, the purpose. The android. I know what you're talking about. The android doll, yeah. Yeah. The purpose of the doll, though, before the doll you know went crazy and started killing people, was to help this little girl get through the trauma of losing her parents. I understand all of that. And I understand narrow divergence and the spectrum of that. I get it. Just did a whole show about it. Like, I get all of that.
01:04:49
Speaker
isn I'm also of the idea that by creating these robots and giving them AI to get them to learn
Ethics of Robots vs. Companion Animals
01:04:59
Speaker
human tendencies, we're setting ourselves up for our own doom. I don't see any difference between these robots and a companion animal.
01:05:13
Speaker
A companion animal, yeah, I see a lot of difference. A companion animal can't out get become more smarter more smarter become smarter than you. I don't know. My dogs are pretty smart. Yeah, they're more manipulative. that's Which takes intelligence. Well, you're right on this one. I'm just saying, hey, look, it's a slippery slope. Slippery slope. But we've dug this into the ground. and People don't want to hear us talk about this more. What they really want to hear is more my take Oh, and the fact that you can't admit what you're wrong. But that's all right. We're going to move past that. Nancy Kerrigan. OK. All right. Everybody got it. When I said it, they got it. The people who are around, who knew what I was talking about, who know the situation, they got it when I said Nancy Kerrigan. OK. Because she is the more famous of the two of them those. No, not anymore. It's Tanya Harding who is more famous. Nobody now knows who Nancy Kerrigan is anymore. No.
01:06:10
Speaker
I think, I think it's, I think I said it correctly. And I think you're wrong, but on that note, what do you want to lead the people with? Gonna agree to disagree. That's what you want to lead the people with? Yeah, sometimes you got to agree to disagree with picky battles. Walk away. Sometimes it's okay to let people misunderstand you.
01:06:29
