 I mean man, like what an exciting time we're living in. A lot of people say that it's kind of like this weird limbo because we've experienced all this amazing change in the last five, 10 years of the internet, but there's all this new stuff coming, like artificial intelligence, robotics, AR, virtual reality, cryptocurrency, and it's not quite there yet, right? So we're in this kind of limbo to the next evolution. Really curious, what do you think? Do you have any, I don't know, predictions or kind of like, what are some of your thoughts like on the next five to 10 years as we move to more of a paperless society as cryptocurrency starts taking over, as more AR, VR stuff comes in. Truthfully, I'm a huge optimist when it comes to the future, but I'm a firm believer in prepare for the worst, hope for the best. Regardless of technology, whether it's cryptocurrency, AI, AR, VR, robotics, it doesn't matter, the problem right now, and I think it's gonna become very turbulent for a little bit because the problem right now is not technology, it's the mindset of people. People are still programmed the old school way where it's very factory-like programming where they follow society norms right from the get go from how your parents think into elementary school, into high school, into post-secondary university, and you're pre-packaged to think a certain way. So you have to follow this linear path. And that path is very destructive for the consciousness of possibilities, and that's the issue right now. So regardless of what, and I see it all the time, like you and I talk about this, I'm gonna walk on the streets and people look at us like we're fucking from the year 2030, like we're crazy. I actually have a hard time connecting and communicating with certain people. I just can, that's all right. I only talk with awesome, cool people. Yeah, and we do kind of cool, weird stuff like this. So I believe it's gonna be kind of like a breakaway group of people within a society. So I think some people, and if you look at history, if you read the book, Guns, Germs, and Steel, or read any, that's an amazing book by the way, you'll notice that people who adapt technology first the fastest and the people who are more open to change and open to evolution of society, they're the ones who win. And I think the whole idea of like nation states of the future will probably obsolete. I don't see like Canada, United States being, I think we're gonna see more kind of like republics maybe in the future, because this need of this, like think, for example, one president, like for example, Trump. I think that's such an archaic system where you have one president controlling 400 million people. It's so archaic. It became the leader of the most powerful country. Yeah, it's archaic, man, completely archaic. I think the whole model of even how we have a president or a prime minister or this like elected one official, it's completely non-productive in the year 2016. And I think what a brand new system has to be created with that is like a decentralized or kind of like a 50-dumb republics where you have like a city state or like a city country like Singapore. Like, look what Singapore did in 50 years. Holy shit. GDP gone to the roof. It's insane. Like the growth in 50 years. And their population is? It's 4.5 million. That's like very similar. Exactly, I was going exactly there. So yeah, going back to the future, I think the future is very bright, like always. I think we're living in the most abundant time possible. I think we're also in the precipice of the biggest historical shift of society. What I mean by historical shift is like, we're at that crossbridge with the old way of thinking or the old system of industrial revolution with the new way of thinking, which may be like more automation robotics. Like for example, Pittsburgh has five self-driving Ubers on the road. San Francisco has self-driving Ubers. In Europe, they have full self-driving Volvo trucks, 18-wheeler trucks, about like 15 of them going across continental Europe. And like a lot of people have to understand like the old system is broken, completely broken. I wanna say broken is that it was actually engineered perfectly, but the old system is non-applicable today. So what society tells you is a norm, what school tells you is a norm is not the norm. It's actually a disadvantage for you to listen to what society tells you. It's a disadvantage for you to listen to what the educational system tells you because it's almost like comparing DOS to like a new iOS operating system. Everybody's still on DOS while you and I maybe are on like iOS or Android. We're open source. We're open source Android right now and everyone's still on DOS like 1994. And you know what, I think it's gonna take more leaders such as Jay coming out and then speaking and using the resources that we have because YouTube wasn't around 10 years old. Is about 10 years old around? 10 years old. Yeah, so 10 years ago YouTube didn't exist and you have now Snapchat. You have all these different mediums. So even though people, this is an interesting thing. We view the world as very big, but it's not. Like if you really think about like all the leaders around the world, like let's use social media as like our data pool. How many people can count on your finger that you respect on YouTube? Like, oh my God, that person delivers massive value. How many people can you say, I read their blogs deliver massive value? I would say now the bear to entry of entering any space is so low. The amount of shit out there is garbage. Garbage, garbage, garbage, garbage. So I'm telling people like if you want to change the future don't try to change people. I'm a firm believer in what Rumi said. Yesterday I was clever, I want to change the world. Today I'm wise, I want to change myself. So start with yourself, become the leader, speak out, you know, educate people at value. Don't be, don't become normal. This becoming, yeah, normal is the worst. The worst thing possible is to be normal. You have to be different. Become an outlier. And become contrarian. Think outside the box. Completely think differently. And if everybody's going right, go left. Anytime you hear anybody talking absolutes, like this is exactly like, you know why I know blockchain and Bitcoin is going to explode? Cause every motherfucker that I know is saying it won't. As soon as you hear anybody, and especially when there's a tipping point of people saying it won't, you know, I can bet my house is on it, that it's going to happen. Well, it's just kind of like, you know, not to make this political by any means, but everybody, I would say, majority of the world, that's fair to say, did not think Trump was going to win. But you know, it's funny, I was actually reading Propaganda, Edward Berners, I know you really meant it. But like, when someone is so, like when there's so much press talking about why that person can't do it, it's almost the same as saying, like, you know, celebrating them in a way that they, it's not highlighting that they can do it, but his name was out there like every second of the time. And it was like, man, there's a really great chance he could win. Why are you right away? He's going to win. Right away. Right away. You know, the ingredients to the recipe were there, and it was a perfect combination of everything. Like for the first time ever, you have somebody not part of the establishment. For the first time ever, you have somebody to speak in their mind. Regardless, if you like what he said, you know, obviously he says some like interesting things. Regardless, like here's a person that's breaking everybody's norms, and in NLP we call it pattern interrupt. He was interrupting everyone's pattern. He goes on stage, yeah, beat the guy up, I'll pay for your bill, and you know, grab her by the whatever, like people are like, what the fuck? Who's this guy? You know what I mean? Right, right, exactly. So he's giving you shock doctrine treatment and breaking your patterns, and then people are like, yo, I can kind of relate to this guy, you know? And Hilary, she's the definition of the corrupt person. Well, she followed everything by the book. She's part of the problem, she is the problem. So people are fed up, completely fed up. And you know, people like pooping on Trump, I don't know, man. I'm a firm believer in give a person due credit, when, or I wanna say due credit, give a person a chance, you know? He was democratically elected. This is my other, like, beef is like, now you're bitching because democracy worked. Right, because he played the system. He played the whole, you know, media, all the stuff that people said that they didn't like. He just was smarter enough to- From one by a landslide. Yeah, like it wasn't close. No, he crushed it. And that's amazing. Give the man an opportunity and let's time speak for itself. Instead of you fucking bitching and moaning, I think people just empower themselves. Like, listen, governments don't care about you. I'm sorry, they just fucking don't. You need to care about yourself. You need to figure out how you can become the best version of yourself. Don't rely on government pension. Don't rely on government programs. Don't rely on anything from the, the worst is relying on government security. Anytime you have to rely on anybody, you're fucked. You're fucked. You're in a disadvantaged situation because now you are a slave to that institution. You are a slave. So figure out how you can empower you and your family. So becoming smarter at what you do, having more opportunities, creating more wealth, becoming healthier, thinking outside the box, reading interesting people's works or watching interesting videos and like really understanding how the world really works. I think you're gonna have, you're gonna have a massive benefit and advantage of everybody else because everybody's consuming the same shit. Listen to the same shit and therefore becoming very robotic-like. It's like the movie Christian Bale, the first original matrix they call it. It was called Equilibrium. Yeah. Equilibrium. Was it Equilibrium? I haven't heard this, but I'm gonna like check it out. It was like the Aurelian future where there's no emotions allowed. And... It sounds, this sounds, this sounds dope. I'm gonna, I'm gonna find it. Oh, a sick fucking movie. Yeah, like I, I love that kind of stuff. I don't know if it's Equilibrium or something like that, but it was like a first, it was kind of like the inspiration for the matrix. Incredible. Yeah, well Christian Bale, yeah. Well, you know what's funny, like what you're saying is like, you know, there's so many people that are telling people like, oh, you should do this. Like you should be like, you know, as you're saying, I'm like, you know, this is part of the reason why we're probably entrepreneurs is because you have figured out a way to think for yourself. And you figure it out at one point or another, you're gonna say, okay, you know what? I believe this to be, this is my framework. Yeah. You could copy and take what works for you from it, but don't take what I say as like gold because this is just what's working for me, right? And so much of what we've talked about, you know, we've talked about some amazing things, but like it's at the end of the day, you have to start thinking for yourself and start realizing, you know what? Like, do I believe this? And what backs this up? You know, so I love and- I say question everything, everything. Question your religion, question what your parents tell you, question what society tells you, and do, I wanna say, I would say become your own detective. I think we take everything as her say, like anything we hear from anybody is like, oh, that must be true. Yeah. And this is the, you know, for example, we look at social media, social media, it's very interesting social media. It's innate, it's not good or bad, it's just that it's a technology, but at the exact same time, and the manipulation going on there is quite dangerous. I think at least spending a day or two without any social media per week is really healthy. It's great. I was just on the subway right now and everybody's a slave. I see everybody's just scrolling and scrolling and scrolling. I'm like, fuck, man, everyone's passive. No one's proactive. No one's actually reading books. No one's writing. No one's actually using their brain by just absorbing information. It's almost like we're going to the society of idiocracy from the movie. You know, what's his face? Luke Wilson, yeah, idiocracy. If you haven't seen it, see it. It's almost like a mockumentary or real documentary. We have so many movie suggestions on this one. But, man, just fuck, man. So, okay, let me ask you this before we kind of wrap up here, but you mentioned autonomous cars. I mean, I find it fascinating, right? Like, if you're a truck driver watching this, man, it's kind of crazy what's happening to an entire industry where people are like, oh, I have to be in a car and be active driving all this time. And then when we think about Uber and how all the different protests have been happening the last couple of years, and I imagine there's Uber self-driving cars, now nobody, no one's gonna be a driver, right? There's gonna be probably some Uber delivery working with Amazon, something around that. But, at the end of the day, I think the taxi industry, Uber drivers and any transportation's about to be disrupted because I'll give you an example. I said this the other day. If I take an Uber from downtown Toronto to North York where I live, if it's by myself, it's about 30-ish dollars, I think Uber pool, obviously, that's a split among whoever goes in the car. Yeah, so let's say it's four of us, it's like maybe like 12 bucks each or whatever, you know, so it's quite affordable at that rate going, you know, like 17 kilometers or something. It's super cheap. Well, what happens when this happens where Uber does not have to pay anybody, so a self-driving car comes and picks me up with somebody else, they don't have to have a, they don't have to charge 30, 40 bucks regular rate. There's nobody to pay, they own the car. So for them to profit, they can easily just charge 20 bucks for the trip split among four people. So my original price of like say 10 to $12 split is cut in half, so I'm paying like six bucks or so to go to North York from downtown Toronto. What does this do to our public transportation system? Good, we need competition. Our public transportation system in Toronto fucking sucks, it's disease-listening, get your shit fucking together. Terrible, horrible, horrible shit. I refuse to take it, majority of the time is garbage. Okay, so here's my question. If we have self-list or driving cars, right? Cars that drive itself, what do we, what do you think, like do you think like we're gonna start decking out, like, are we gonna have self-list cars where it becomes our like mobile office? Of course, right? Like, are we gonna be doing an interview in a car, just like we have a driver, you know, what have you, or we could do a webinar, whatever it is, right? We're not VR, we're in the car. VR right in the car, like, or do you think like there'll be any, I don't know, particular, I'm sure there are companies that are like, we'll move into the space and start capitalizing, because that will become time. Yeah, well the biggest problem, the biggest hurdle is not self-driving cars, the technology's very old, it's not complicated, it's just a bunch of lasers and cameras, that's all it is, it's like, it's an echo sonar. We're lasers, right? They've been testing for years. Yeah, that's all, they use photons to go back and forth to the thermal distance, it's not complicated tech. However, the problem right now is the insurance policies. That's the biggest kind of hurdle in front of them, because let's say I have a self-driving car, J does and we crash, well whose fault is it? Yours. I don't want my race to go off. And then laws on the road, do you need a license anymore? Like what happens, is there a default feature? Like if in case something happens, you wanna now grab it to manual mode, so then do you need a license? Like there's so many of these legality issues, so but the biggest hurdle right now is insurance policies, and they're trying to figure out ways like, well, we're literally at the time where we're gonna have hybrids that like say, even 10% of cars would be like self-driving, 90% would be manual, well something happens, ooh, what are the laws? I read something like this the other day where it said the reason why we don't have more selfless cars on the road is because there's actually too many human drivers on the road, and so if it was all selfless cars, they would know how to kind of operate within each other. I'm gonna say this, I bet in our lifetime, certain places in the world will make it illegal for humans to drive, because it'd be too dangerous. Way too dangerous. We suck at driving. I'm sorry, but we fucking suck at driving. It'll be like that Will Smith movie, the iRobots, where he goes in like manual, he like overrides whenever the system, and then they're like, you were driving manually, are you crazy? We're not good drivers. Computer's smarter, they're not distracted by our phone, which everybody's on their phone. They don't get tired, they're not wired, they don't have any of these human biological properties. So for me, I can't wait till I can just jump in my car and be like, take me there, but I just do work and I'll take a nap. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like whatever, I don't care. Well, you know what, I think that's another opportunity for not just for people to, I think that's another opportunity for how people leverage their time. Right there, like can you be, like what are you gonna choose to do in this like self-driving car? Are you gonna scroll through Facebook? You know, are you gonna scroll through YouTube? Or are you gonna decide to leverage the hour or two that you get back now? Probably a lot more of you're on the road all the time. And are you gonna be able to move your business forward, your life forward, all these things? So, I don't know, just an opportunity to think about. Massive opportunities, like I'm so excited for the future. I'm so excited for the possibilities that people have. There's so many new opportunities people have to make money. So many more opportunities. And people need to understand this. It's not just about making money as being an entrepreneur. It's like there's so many ways you can now supplement different forms of income, whether that is Ubering, whether that is Airbnb, whether that is like, for example, one of my mom's friends, she'll grab old furniture, it's from a garage sales and she'll make it, and she's the artisan. So she'll spend maybe a weekend and she'll make it look nice and polish it and furnish it. She goes on Etsy and sells on Etsy. She kills it. She makes like an extra like 500 bucks a thousand a week. And she works full-time too. Yeah, there you go, yeah. So there's, you have so many different opportunities to supplement your income. And it's just gonna grow more and more and more and more, yeah. Absolutely. Amir, it's always fascinating, getting a chance to sit down and chat with you. Where can people figure out or socially stalk you or follow you? Just go to my personal stuff, amirosec.com or any of my social, just amirosec, yeah. All right, man, cool. God bless you, man. Yeah. Cheers.
