1 00:00:04,130 --> 00:00:02,810 readings and salutations friends and 2 00:00:07,130 --> 00:00:04,140 welcome back 3 00:00:12,770 --> 00:00:07,140 it is with sadness that I present to you 4 00:00:14,690 --> 00:00:12,780 today's video which is a Premiere uh on 5 00:00:16,670 --> 00:00:14,700 our channel here at least of an 6 00:00:19,189 --> 00:00:16,680 interview that I conducted with John 7 00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:19,199 McAfee some time ago 8 00:00:26,870 --> 00:00:22,560 this interview was conducted before his 9 00:00:29,450 --> 00:00:26,880 death I am aware of all of the rumors uh 10 00:00:31,849 --> 00:00:29,460 all over the Internet that John McAfee 11 00:00:34,610 --> 00:00:31,859 faked his own death 12 00:00:36,709 --> 00:00:34,620 I have no comment about that though to 13 00:00:39,170 --> 00:00:36,719 be honest if I heard that there was 14 00:00:42,410 --> 00:00:39,180 proof of that or that it were true I 15 00:00:44,750 --> 00:00:42,420 would be happy to hear that John McAfee 16 00:00:46,010 --> 00:00:44,760 is still alive and well somewhere in the 17 00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:46,020 world 18 00:00:50,350 --> 00:00:49,440 while growing up John McAfee uh was an 19 00:00:54,229 --> 00:00:50,360 early 20 00:00:56,209 --> 00:00:54,239 inspiration to me an idol really a lot 21 00:00:58,850 --> 00:00:56,219 of people aren't aware but John McAfee 22 00:01:00,910 --> 00:00:58,860 was one of the early pioneers of this 23 00:01:07,070 --> 00:01:00,920 thing called shareware 24 00:01:10,730 --> 00:01:07,080 and uh that became a huge thing and many 25 00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:10,740 in the early software movement created 26 00:01:14,330 --> 00:01:12,000 companies 27 00:01:16,130 --> 00:01:14,340 which would allow people to share 28 00:01:18,830 --> 00:01:16,140 software and get 29 00:01:20,749 --> 00:01:18,840 let's say the basic version of the 30 00:01:23,030 --> 00:01:20,759 software and if you wanted the 31 00:01:25,910 --> 00:01:23,040 professional version you would upgrade 32 00:01:28,969 --> 00:01:25,920 and send off a check 33 00:01:32,210 --> 00:01:28,979 and so John McAfee was an early software 34 00:01:34,609 --> 00:01:32,220 pioneer I wanted to be 35 00:01:37,429 --> 00:01:34,619 someone who would form a software 36 00:01:40,010 --> 00:01:37,439 company myself never did quite get 37 00:01:44,390 --> 00:01:40,020 around to that but 38 00:01:48,710 --> 00:01:44,400 I have always admired him and his Fierce 39 00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:48,720 Independence his Renegade streak and uh 40 00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:53,040 his standing up to the status quo 41 00:01:57,950 --> 00:01:54,960 it was an honor and a privilege to be 42 00:02:00,590 --> 00:01:57,960 able to interview Mr McAfee after all he 43 00:02:02,690 --> 00:02:00,600 was a childhood hero of mine many people 44 00:02:05,749 --> 00:02:02,700 don't know but one of the ways that John 45 00:02:09,910 --> 00:02:05,759 McAfee got rich was by scrolling all the 46 00:02:13,610 --> 00:02:09,920 corporations out of money uh his early 47 00:02:16,130 --> 00:02:13,620 anti-virus software was distributed uh 48 00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:16,140 largely for free 49 00:02:21,290 --> 00:02:19,440 but it was not for corporate or 50 00:02:23,030 --> 00:02:21,300 commercial use there was a separate 51 00:02:26,869 --> 00:02:23,040 license for that 52 00:02:30,589 --> 00:02:26,879 so through a loophole of laws some might 53 00:02:32,869 --> 00:02:30,599 say John McAfee got to Stick it to the 54 00:02:35,210 --> 00:02:32,879 Man and force all these Mega 55 00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:35,220 corporations to give him huge amounts of 56 00:02:40,610 --> 00:02:36,900 money 57 00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:40,620 um and also his early antivirus software 58 00:02:47,690 --> 00:02:42,720 became so popular 59 00:02:50,650 --> 00:02:47,700 uh that by 1990 John McAfee who was an 60 00:02:53,630 --> 00:02:50,660 early software Pioneer was making some 61 00:02:56,210 --> 00:02:53,640 five million dollars a year 62 00:02:58,309 --> 00:02:56,220 something completely unheard of at the 63 00:03:01,190 --> 00:02:58,319 time 64 00:03:03,430 --> 00:03:01,200 he was also my idol for other reasons 65 00:03:09,470 --> 00:03:03,440 like his 66 00:03:13,309 --> 00:03:09,480 attitude and his Fierce Independence his 67 00:03:14,449 --> 00:03:13,319 being a renegade and loving being a 68 00:03:16,490 --> 00:03:14,459 renegade 69 00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:16,500 made him special to me 70 00:03:21,589 --> 00:03:19,200 it was an honor and privilege to get to 71 00:03:23,509 --> 00:03:21,599 talk to him even get to know him a 72 00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:23,519 little bit both before and after this 73 00:03:29,390 --> 00:03:26,640 interview and that my friends is a whole 74 00:03:32,290 --> 00:03:29,400 story in and of itself because you see 75 00:03:35,809 --> 00:03:32,300 after the interview 76 00:03:36,710 --> 00:03:35,819 John McAfee asked me for a cell phone 77 00:03:40,729 --> 00:03:36,720 number 78 00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:40,739 and uh I gave him that and 79 00:03:44,050 --> 00:03:43,200 What followed is a strange series of 80 00:03:47,930 --> 00:03:44,060 things 81 00:03:50,149 --> 00:03:47,940 uh John McAfee out of nowhere would call 82 00:03:52,309 --> 00:03:50,159 me at three o'clock in the morning he 83 00:03:55,970 --> 00:03:52,319 first called me uh after the interview 84 00:03:58,190 --> 00:03:55,980 at one point I assumed that he was in 85 00:04:00,410 --> 00:03:58,200 some strange part of the world I told 86 00:04:03,050 --> 00:04:00,420 him what time it was and he said oh 87 00:04:05,270 --> 00:04:03,060 you're not busy are you like drop 88 00:04:07,970 --> 00:04:05,280 everything because John McAfee's on the 89 00:04:09,970 --> 00:04:07,980 phone and honestly I did drop everything 90 00:04:14,449 --> 00:04:09,980 to talk to him 91 00:04:16,670 --> 00:04:14,459 uh John said you're like a big Tech guy 92 00:04:18,289 --> 00:04:16,680 right and I said yeah and he goes okay 93 00:04:21,770 --> 00:04:18,299 tell me everything you know about 94 00:04:23,749 --> 00:04:21,780 Faraday cages and I said well I I mean I 95 00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:23,759 have a basic understanding you know it's 96 00:04:28,909 --> 00:04:25,919 a metal box and you put electronic 97 00:04:30,530 --> 00:04:28,919 devices in it and you know no signals 98 00:04:33,530 --> 00:04:30,540 can go in or out 99 00:04:35,689 --> 00:04:33,540 and John said yeah yeah but what can I 100 00:04:37,490 --> 00:04:35,699 use them for like can I use them so that 101 00:04:39,530 --> 00:04:37,500 my cell phones can't be tracked and I 102 00:04:43,909 --> 00:04:39,540 said well yeah they sell things called 103 00:04:47,749 --> 00:04:43,919 privacy pouches John and uh he asked for 104 00:04:50,210 --> 00:04:47,759 me to recommend for him what the best 105 00:04:53,629 --> 00:04:50,220 privacy pouch to put your cell phone in 106 00:04:56,350 --> 00:04:53,639 so that people couldn't track you and I 107 00:04:59,810 --> 00:04:56,360 gave him my suggestions 108 00:05:02,090 --> 00:04:59,820 uh and uh later in the conversation John 109 00:05:05,210 --> 00:05:02,100 told me that he had decided that he was 110 00:05:07,670 --> 00:05:05,220 going to build a room-sized faraday cage 111 00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:07,680 and that's where he was going to stay so 112 00:05:13,310 --> 00:05:11,280 that people could never track him and 113 00:05:15,469 --> 00:05:13,320 um you know I didn't know what to say to 114 00:05:18,350 --> 00:05:15,479 this I just thought well that's a little 115 00:05:20,210 --> 00:05:18,360 crazy I as I recall I said that's a 116 00:05:23,629 --> 00:05:20,220 little crazy John and he goes well don't 117 00:05:25,790 --> 00:05:23,639 you know Stephen I am crazy ask anybody 118 00:05:27,890 --> 00:05:25,800 I'm gonna do it I'm gonna build this 119 00:05:30,710 --> 00:05:27,900 Faraday cage and it was 120 00:05:32,810 --> 00:05:30,720 a short time later that I saw that he 121 00:05:36,170 --> 00:05:32,820 actually did it and he was making videos 122 00:05:38,270 --> 00:05:36,180 from inside a room that he had 123 00:05:39,830 --> 00:05:38,280 constructed that was a giant Faraday 124 00:05:41,810 --> 00:05:39,840 cage 125 00:05:44,510 --> 00:05:41,820 um John was 126 00:05:47,450 --> 00:05:44,520 On The Run uh from various law 127 00:05:51,350 --> 00:05:47,460 enforcement officials in multiple 128 00:05:55,249 --> 00:05:51,360 countries as I recall and uh he was 129 00:05:59,810 --> 00:05:55,259 quite paranoid and so he would call me 130 00:06:02,270 --> 00:05:59,820 and uh ask me things like weird things 131 00:06:06,770 --> 00:06:02,280 like Stephen do you know Morse code and 132 00:06:09,230 --> 00:06:06,780 I said well not by Heart John like I I 133 00:06:11,150 --> 00:06:09,240 know what Morse code is and I know what 134 00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:11,160 its use is but I wouldn't be able to 135 00:06:16,370 --> 00:06:14,160 decipher it you know it would take me 136 00:06:19,010 --> 00:06:16,380 forever like I'd have to if somebody 137 00:06:21,529 --> 00:06:19,020 sent me a tape for example of a morse 138 00:06:24,469 --> 00:06:21,539 code message it would take me forever to 139 00:06:26,210 --> 00:06:24,479 try to encode it you know decode it and 140 00:06:27,950 --> 00:06:26,220 he said isn't there there's software for 141 00:06:29,629 --> 00:06:27,960 that isn't there software for that and I 142 00:06:32,510 --> 00:06:29,639 looked it up and said yeah John I found 143 00:06:35,749 --> 00:06:32,520 some software that will decode Morse 144 00:06:37,730 --> 00:06:35,759 code messages and John McAfee told me 145 00:06:39,469 --> 00:06:37,740 okay that's what I'm going to do I'm 146 00:06:41,710 --> 00:06:39,479 only going to communicate in Morse code 147 00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:41,720 from now on and I said 148 00:06:46,969 --> 00:06:45,120 to me or to everybody in John McAfee 149 00:06:49,029 --> 00:06:46,979 told me that he was only going to 150 00:06:53,029 --> 00:06:49,039 communicate in Morse code 151 00:06:55,129 --> 00:06:53,039 uh you know to people around the world 152 00:06:58,670 --> 00:06:55,139 that he was communicating with which I 153 00:07:00,350 --> 00:06:58,680 thought was just Bizarro because that it 154 00:07:02,090 --> 00:07:00,360 just didn't make any sense like anybody 155 00:07:04,909 --> 00:07:02,100 could get 156 00:07:07,070 --> 00:07:04,919 a morse code message and decode it and I 157 00:07:08,689 --> 00:07:07,080 told him that so then he said well maybe 158 00:07:11,270 --> 00:07:08,699 I need to develop something better than 159 00:07:13,189 --> 00:07:11,280 Morse code that only I and the people I 160 00:07:14,930 --> 00:07:13,199 communicate with know and I said yeah 161 00:07:18,050 --> 00:07:14,940 John that's a cipher you're a 162 00:07:19,909 --> 00:07:18,060 mathematics guy you you can develop some 163 00:07:21,589 --> 00:07:19,919 sort of math Cipher and he goes that's a 164 00:07:24,350 --> 00:07:21,599 great idea that's what I'm going to do 165 00:07:26,089 --> 00:07:24,360 Stephen and he hung up on me and then I 166 00:07:28,430 --> 00:07:26,099 didn't hear from him for a few weeks and 167 00:07:30,529 --> 00:07:28,440 then he called me again and he was told 168 00:07:33,409 --> 00:07:30,539 me that he developed his own Cipher and 169 00:07:36,409 --> 00:07:33,419 that he was going to send it to me uh he 170 00:07:38,330 --> 00:07:36,419 never did I gave him an email address uh 171 00:07:40,610 --> 00:07:38,340 but he told me that he was currently 172 00:07:42,350 --> 00:07:40,620 someplace that he couldn't email 173 00:07:44,450 --> 00:07:42,360 and by the way to the best of my 174 00:07:48,050 --> 00:07:44,460 understanding he was calling me from 175 00:07:51,830 --> 00:07:48,060 satellite telephone uh telephones or 176 00:07:54,469 --> 00:07:51,840 something some odd untrackable according 177 00:07:56,450 --> 00:07:54,479 to him form of communication 178 00:07:58,490 --> 00:07:56,460 another instance 179 00:08:02,510 --> 00:07:58,500 um John McAfee called me 180 00:08:05,510 --> 00:08:02,520 and he asked me what I knew about web 181 00:08:07,610 --> 00:08:05,520 Bots that could scrape the internet for 182 00:08:11,270 --> 00:08:07,620 information he was looking for 183 00:08:13,550 --> 00:08:11,280 I uh related to him that I had written a 184 00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:13,560 Web Bot that could do something similar 185 00:08:21,950 --> 00:08:18,240 and look for certain keywords even maybe 186 00:08:24,550 --> 00:08:21,960 you know go through the deep dark web or 187 00:08:28,189 --> 00:08:24,560 the you know uh 188 00:08:31,430 --> 00:08:28,199 let's just say the less than safe places 189 00:08:34,010 --> 00:08:31,440 on the internet looking for information 190 00:08:35,829 --> 00:08:34,020 he seemed very interested and then he 191 00:08:39,110 --> 00:08:35,839 started asking me very specific 192 00:08:40,850 --> 00:08:39,120 questions what was the Web Bot written 193 00:08:43,310 --> 00:08:40,860 in what language 194 00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:43,320 was it self-learning did it have 195 00:08:47,650 --> 00:08:45,600 self-learning algorithms all kinds of 196 00:08:49,490 --> 00:08:47,660 strange questions 197 00:08:52,130 --> 00:08:49,500 eventually 198 00:08:54,530 --> 00:08:52,140 John confided in me that he was looking 199 00:08:56,750 --> 00:08:54,540 for a Web Bot that would scrape the 200 00:08:59,449 --> 00:08:56,760 entire internet for anything ever 201 00:09:01,810 --> 00:08:59,459 written about him and then compile it 202 00:09:06,290 --> 00:09:01,820 into a database 203 00:09:09,470 --> 00:09:06,300 uh and uh you know this is again this 204 00:09:11,630 --> 00:09:09,480 was like a 3 A.M phone call and John 205 00:09:14,870 --> 00:09:11,640 McAfee said can you make that happen 206 00:09:16,790 --> 00:09:14,880 Stephen and I said well I could but I 207 00:09:19,370 --> 00:09:16,800 you know I have a wife and kids and a 208 00:09:21,590 --> 00:09:19,380 business

00:10:37,430 --> 00:10:34,860 link 238 00:10:40,670 --> 00:10:37,440 and he said what about compiling it to a 239 00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:40,680 database I need it by date and post it 240 00:10:45,290 --> 00:10:42,480 to the internet and I said well you know 241 00:10:47,329 --> 00:10:45,300 I I started working on this and then he 242 00:10:49,550 --> 00:10:47,339 goes you know what forget it and I had 243 00:10:52,790 --> 00:10:49,560 spent a few weeks like trying to get 244 00:10:55,069 --> 00:10:52,800 this thing to work for him and uh he 245 00:10:58,310 --> 00:10:55,079 just completely and totally lost 246 00:11:01,190 --> 00:10:58,320 interest didn't want me to do it anymore 247 00:11:03,110 --> 00:11:01,200 um and then there was a final sort of uh 248 00:11:06,829 --> 00:11:03,120 middle of the night phone call that was 249 00:11:08,630 --> 00:11:06,839 disturbing he uh told me that they're on 250 00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:08,640 to him or something like that like it 251 00:11:13,610 --> 00:11:10,560 was just a very paranoid 252 00:11:15,889 --> 00:11:13,620 call and he said uh I think they're 253 00:11:17,810 --> 00:11:15,899 gonna they're gonna finally catch up to 254 00:11:19,670 --> 00:11:17,820 me and I said who he said all the people 255 00:11:20,810 --> 00:11:19,680 after me Steve and they're finally gonna 256 00:11:24,470 --> 00:11:20,820 get me 257 00:11:27,290 --> 00:11:24,480 in their grasp and uh you know I tried 258 00:11:31,550 --> 00:11:27,300 to uh tell them to relax 259 00:11:34,430 --> 00:11:31,560 um I was aware that John was uh you know 260 00:11:37,009 --> 00:11:34,440 he was very into partying and uh 261 00:11:39,650 --> 00:11:37,019 drinking and a lot of drugs so I 262 00:11:42,710 --> 00:11:39,660 suggested that he lay off the drugs and 263 00:11:45,650 --> 00:11:42,720 uh you know maybe see a doctor and try 264 00:11:47,810 --> 00:11:45,660 to relax and he told me that he couldn't 265 00:11:49,430 --> 00:11:47,820 relax all these people are after me 266 00:11:51,350 --> 00:11:49,440 these people are out to get me they're 267 00:11:55,250 --> 00:11:51,360 out to destroy me 268 00:11:58,250 --> 00:11:55,260 and that was the last that I ever got a 269 00:12:00,410 --> 00:11:58,260 phone call from John McAfee 270 00:12:03,710 --> 00:12:00,420 um and you know 271 00:12:06,889 --> 00:12:03,720 I always wondered like uh did he forget 272 00:12:08,930 --> 00:12:06,899 who I was or did he just get busy and 273 00:12:11,030 --> 00:12:08,940 and by the way these were like random 274 00:12:14,090 --> 00:12:11,040 calls that would come weeks apart or 275 00:12:14,870 --> 00:12:14,100 months apart right after the interview 276 00:12:17,030 --> 00:12:14,880 um 277 00:12:20,090 --> 00:12:17,040 I never quite knew what to make of them 278 00:12:22,009 --> 00:12:20,100 but I always I thought it was like 279 00:12:24,650 --> 00:12:22,019 remember that this guy was one of my 280 00:12:26,810 --> 00:12:24,660 Idols growing up so I was glad every 281 00:12:28,190 --> 00:12:26,820 time that he called and we talked about 282 00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:28,200 some other 283 00:12:35,509 --> 00:12:31,440 things personal things that I won't you 284 00:12:39,710 --> 00:12:35,519 know uh disclose or share 285 00:12:42,230 --> 00:12:39,720 um but what an interesting uh part of my 286 00:12:45,829 --> 00:12:42,240 life to get to talk to and meet one of 287 00:12:48,110 --> 00:12:45,839 my childhood Idols right uh even I 288 00:12:49,790 --> 00:12:48,120 suppose work on a project for him that 289 00:12:53,030 --> 00:12:49,800 he then decided he was no longer 290 00:12:55,430 --> 00:12:53,040 interested in but that was John and he 291 00:12:57,790 --> 00:12:55,440 was uh strange 292 00:13:01,550 --> 00:12:57,800 he was uh 293 00:13:04,250 --> 00:13:01,560 brilliant we talked about math we talked 294 00:13:05,629 --> 00:13:04,260 about coding we talked about 295 00:13:08,050 --> 00:13:05,639 um he was very interested in 296 00:13:11,629 --> 00:13:08,060 self-learning algorithms 297 00:13:14,090 --> 00:13:11,639 which is really an advanced form of of 298 00:13:18,009 --> 00:13:14,100 computer programming where the the 299 00:13:21,710 --> 00:13:18,019 program learns and adapts and overcomes 300 00:13:24,050 --> 00:13:21,720 obstacles and but he was already very 301 00:13:27,889 --> 00:13:24,060 aware of these things from his study of 302 00:13:30,889 --> 00:13:27,899 malware and computer viruses 303 00:13:32,449 --> 00:13:30,899 um we did talk about computer viruses 304 00:13:36,650 --> 00:13:32,459 and uh 305 00:13:39,470 --> 00:13:36,660 you know I asked him a lot about uh you 306 00:13:41,269 --> 00:13:39,480 know people who claim that a virus could 307 00:13:44,810 --> 00:13:41,279 take down the U.S 308 00:13:46,790 --> 00:13:44,820 power grid and things like that and and 309 00:13:49,370 --> 00:13:46,800 he seemed to believe that it was not 310 00:13:51,889 --> 00:13:49,380 only entirely possible but probable that 311 00:13:55,329 --> 00:13:51,899 somebody would Cyber attack us in the 312 00:13:59,990 --> 00:13:55,339 future and take our uh power grid down 313 00:14:02,389 --> 00:14:00,000 using uh computer malware or viruses 314 00:14:05,569 --> 00:14:02,399 so 315 00:14:07,970 --> 00:14:05,579 that's really all I got uh I will say 316 00:14:11,030 --> 00:14:07,980 that I think that the loss of John 317 00:14:14,269 --> 00:14:11,040 McAfee it's any suicide is a senseless 318 00:14:16,129 --> 00:14:14,279 loss it didn't need to happen 319 00:14:20,569 --> 00:14:16,139 um but 320 00:14:24,410 --> 00:14:20,579 sadly John according to news reports and 321 00:14:25,490 --> 00:14:24,420 authorities there took his own life but 322 00:14:26,269 --> 00:14:25,500 it is 323 00:14:28,910 --> 00:14:26,279 um 324 00:14:32,210 --> 00:14:28,920 strange to me that it's been 325 00:14:34,150 --> 00:14:32,220 all it took them all this this time to 326 00:14:37,129 --> 00:14:34,160 come up with an autopsy report 327 00:14:38,990 --> 00:14:37,139 and last I checked they still the 328 00:14:41,829 --> 00:14:39,000 authorities still have not released his 329 00:14:46,310 --> 00:14:41,839 remains to his wife and family 330 00:14:47,710 --> 00:14:46,320 and that's strange why does he died in 331 00:14:51,650 --> 00:14:47,720 uh 332 00:14:54,170 --> 00:14:51,660 June 23rd of 2021 and they still have 333 00:14:57,970 --> 00:14:54,180 not released his body 334 00:15:01,009 --> 00:14:57,980 John may have enjoyed uh from my 335 00:15:03,889 --> 00:15:01,019 conversations with them John seemed to 336 00:15:06,110 --> 00:15:03,899 enjoy all the conspiracy theories and 337 00:15:07,550 --> 00:15:06,120 controversy around him 338 00:15:08,389 --> 00:15:07,560 and 339 00:15:12,350 --> 00:15:08,399 um 340 00:15:14,030 --> 00:15:12,360 knowing in the little bit that I do I 341 00:15:16,069 --> 00:15:14,040 think that he would be happy to hear 342 00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:16,079 that people are saying that he faked his 343 00:15:19,550 --> 00:15:17,760 own life and he's still alive out there 344 00:15:21,410 --> 00:15:19,560 and there's all of these conspiracies 345 00:15:25,610 --> 00:15:21,420 surrounding him 346 00:15:27,530 --> 00:15:25,620 he was a strange brilliant and uh 347 00:15:30,949 --> 00:15:27,540 amazing

years over 90 percent will become 702 00:31:03,169 --> 00:31:01,320 technically no they they come with a 703 00:31:05,450 --> 00:31:03,179 phone call or an email or something it's 704 00:31:07,370 --> 00:31:05,460 so goddamn clever written by people who 705 00:31:09,830 --> 00:31:07,380 understand the neuro-linguistic 706 00:31:12,590 --> 00:31:09,840 programming and other [\h__\h] 707 00:31:15,470

the only perception I could see 1023 00:44:56,690 --> 00:44:54,060 was the goddamn mirror in the shadow 1024 00:45:01,609 --> 00:44:56,700 so all of my perceptions all of the 1025 00:45:04,849 --> 00:45:01,619 words the images had no [\h__\h] meaning 1026 00:45:09,950 --> 00:45:04,859 it was there shattered 1027 00:45:12,829 --> 00:45:09,960 and it took three months thank God they 1028 00:45:15,109 --> 00:45:12,839 did not from institutionalized me 1029 00:45:18,109 --> 00:45:15,119 because they they could very well have a 1030 00:45:20,150 --> 00:45:18,119 good work of course my wife got fighting 1031 00:45:21,050 --> 00:45:20,160 and my daughter and went to live with my 1032 00:45:24,470 --> 00:45:21,060 mother's 1033 00:45:26,270 --> 00:45:24,480 uh my friends would avoided me I was 1034 00:45:27,890 --> 00:45:26,280 alone in this goddamn a hundred two 1035 00:45:30,170 --> 00:45:27,900 [\h__\h] months 1036 00:45:35,030 --> 00:45:30,180 and what was I doing I was taking every 1037 00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:39,829 amazing and peace 1038 00:45:44,630 --> 00:45:42,290 into what I thought 1039 00:45:48,349 --> 00:45:44,640 might be 1040 00:45:50,270 --> 00:45:48,359 some resemblance to reality 1041 00:45:52,069 --> 00:45:50,280 now I've lived with that book a little 1042 00:45:53,870 --> 00:45:52,079 sense 1043 00:45:56,450 --> 00:45:53,880 do not 1044 00:45:59,750 --> 00:45:56,460 I say and I don't even tell people not 1045 00:46:02,569 --> 00:45:59,760 to do anything but I'm saying do not 1046 00:46:04,730 --> 00:46:02,579 repeat my experiment 1047 00:46:06,170 --> 00:46:04,740 that's probably good advice you know 1048 00:46:08,450 --> 00:46:06,180 with little experience that I've had 1049 00:46:11,210 --> 00:46:08,460 with psychedelics I think less is more 1050 00:46:13,790 --> 00:46:11,220 you know uh I I couldn't even imagine 1051 00:46:16,370 --> 00:46:13,800 doing something like that because you 1052 00:46:19,970 --> 00:46:16,380 know I I I've done uh you know just just 1053 00:46:22,250 --> 00:46:19,980 LSD and it was two days of crazy and uh 1054 00:46:24,050 --> 00:46:22,260 had a very profound experience was it a 1055 00:46:26,569 --> 00:46:24,060 fun crazy or was it well you know it was 1056 00:46:29,270 --> 00:46:26,579 like hellishly introspective crazy yeah 1057 00:46:31,309 --> 00:46:29,280 it was it was it was a profound good 1058 00:46:33,230 --> 00:46:31,319 experience I wouldn't want to repeat it 1059 00:46:35,089 --> 00:46:33,240 though because at the end I was getting 1060 00:46:37,370 --> 00:46:35,099 these emotional shock waves I was 1061 00:46:40,309 --> 00:46:37,380 laughing I was crying I was realizing 1062 00:46:42,410 --> 00:46:40,319 things about myself and the world and I 1063 00:46:44,690 --> 00:46:42,420 would never take it take it away though 1064 00:46:47,270 --> 00:46:44,700 I thought it was a good experience you 1065 00:46:49,910 --> 00:46:47,280 know I wanted to do it all the time but 1066 00:46:52,730 --> 00:46:49,920 I wouldn't take away a single one of my 1067 00:46:55,730 --> 00:46:52,740 experiences none of them not one not 1068 00:46:59,030 -->

they're 1235 00:54:24,230 --> 00:54:22,260 looking this is a federal law 1236 00:54:26,150 --> 00:54:24,240 enforcement officer who told me that 1237 00:54:28,150 --> 00:54:26,160 they have various intelligence that's 1238 00:54:30,470 --> 00:54:28,160 placing you in Europe how did that 1239 00:54:32,510 --> 00:54:30,480 conversation happen can you tell me that 1240 00:54:34,609 --> 00:54:32,520

you 1246 00:54:46,010 --> 00:54:44,160 know and I don't know if he's accurate 1247 00:54:47,329 --> 00:54:46,020 or he's he's telling me the truth but 1248 00:54:51,230 --> 00:54:47,339 that's what he

not 1257 00:55:11,329 --> 00:55:09,059 my only concern is making sure that the 1258 00:55:15,230 --> 00:55:11,339 location of where I am can never happen 1259 00:55:17,930 --> 00:55:15,240 all right

better than my opponent 1272 00:55:53,230 --> 00:55:50,819 because I'm older than them or something 1273 00:55:56,870 --> 00:55:53,240 but wiser yeah 1274 00:55:58,609 --> 00:55:56,880 or wiser you're

I am ready 1293 00:56:41,690 --> 00:56:39,599 to be found and maybe I will be sometime 1294 00:56:45,290 --> 00:56:41,700 it might be 1295 00:56:47,750 --> 00:56:45,300 convenient for me to be found at just 1296 00:56:50,089 --> 00:56:47,760 the right 1297 00:56:56,450 --> 00:56:50,099 [\h__\h] don't matter 1298 00:57:00,549 --> 00:56:56,460 wow that that folds into something else 1299

reason now yeah yeah I think 1308 00:57:25,490 --> 00:57:22,380 you know I think that the the federal 1309 00:57:28,250 --> 00:57:25,500 government in my view is terrified a lot 1310 00:57:30,170 --> 00:57:28,260 of governments are of cryptocurrency can 1311 00:57:32,030 --> 00:57:30,180 you talk a little bit about why why are 1312 00:57:34,849 --> 00:57:32,040 you so interested in cryptocurrency

thing and 1316 00:57:44,089 --> 00:57:41,640 and what what for one and only one 1317 00:57:46,370 --> 00:57:44,099 reason privacy 1318 00:57:49,490 --> 00:57:46,380 um and unstoppability 1319 00:57:51,849 --> 00:57:49,500 something that can't be controlled by 1320 00:57:54,770 --> 00:57:51,859 those who are in power do you understand 1321 00:57:58,010 --> 00:57:54,780 how powerful that is 1322 00:58:00,349 --> 00:57:58,020 sure a thing which power 1323 00:58:03,790 --> 00:58:00,359 cannot affect 1324 00:58:07,190 --> 00:58:03,800 a thing impervious too 1325 00:58:08,990 --> 00:58:07,200 or of course then it can't be controlled 1326 00:58:11,510 --> 00:58:09,000 by the by the people already in control 1327 00:58:13,309 --> 00:58:11,520 that's why they're scared yeah that's 1328 00:58:16,309 --> 00:58:13,319 the whole thing the self-controlled by 1329 00:58:18,530 --> 00:58:16,319 anybody about the good cards is we 1330 00:58:21,950 --> 00:58:18,540 already had

was is just to gain 1415 01:02:03,710 --> 01:02:02,819 attention it worked well not for me not 1416 01:02:06,170 --> 01:02:03,720 to me 1417 01:02:08,210 --> 01:02:06,180 but they gave attention to say well 1418 01:02:10,609 --> 01:02:08,220 let's try this people [\h__\h] me you tried 1419 01:02:14,510 --> 01:02:10,619 everything else how about this 1420 01:02:16,730 --> 01:02:14,520 it brought millions of eyeballs and over 1421 01:02:20,569 --> 01:02:16,740 a hundred thousand users 1422 01:02:23,890 --> 01:02:20,579 somewhere in the the spike within a 1423 01:02:27,710 --> 01:02:23,900 month afterwards was unaccountable for 1424 01:02:28,730 --> 01:02:27,720 by any other reason than my goddamn 1425 01:02:32,930 --> 01:02:28,740 tweet 1426 01:02:36,170 --> 01:02:32,940 sure now was that not worth it yes 1427 01:02:38,150 --> 01:02:36,180 absolutely and I do it again 1428 01:02:41,930 --> 01:02:38,160 why do you do something similar even 1429 01:02:45,049 --> 01:02:41,940 yours be prepared but if it brings 1430 01:02:48,650 --> 01:02:45,059 attention to the only thing people that 1431 01:02:52,430 --> 01:02:48,660 is going to free us if anything does 1432 01:02:54,730 --> 01:02:52,440 is the blockchain and cryptocurrency I 1433 01:02:59,030 --> 01:02:54,740 have created a distributed exchange 1434 01:03:02,470 --> 01:02:59,040 based on Smart contracts on the 1435 01:03:06,710 --> 01:03:02,480 blockchains which can we have ever 1436 01:03:08,930 --> 01:03:06,720 be destroyed changed or removed 1437 01:03:10,970 --> 01:03:08,940 it's there forever and it's free and 1438 01:03:14,270 --> 01:03:10,980 it's for you 1439 01:03:16,370 --> 01:03:14,280 sure and when it broke every single rule 1440 01:03:18,650 --> 01:03:16,380 in the book 1441 01:03:21,109 --> 01:03:18,660 I want I wanted to ask you about mining 1442 01:03:23,690 --> 01:03:21,119 too because when when crypto mining 1443 01:03:26,089 --> 01:03:23,700 first started you know I I used to build 1444 01:03:28,130 --> 01:03:26,099 computers and I I got into that for a 1445 01:03:30,130 --> 01:03:28,140 little while but I was way late in the 1446 01:03:33,170 --> 01:03:30,140 game and now it seems like 1447 01:03:36,049 --> 01:03:33,180 mining for Bitcoin is no longer really 1448 01:03:37,730 --> 01:03:36,059 financially a good thing yeah I mean you 1449 01:03:38,990 --> 01:03:37,740 can't be I try to beat the system like 1450 01:03:41,089 --> 01:03:39,000 how could I figure this out and I 1451 01:03:43,670 --> 01:03:41,099 couldn't get past the electric bill you 1452 01:03:45,710 --> 01:03:43,680 know like I would mine I would get like 1453 01:03:48,170 --> 01:03:45,720 you know 300 worth of bitcoin but then 1454 01:03:49,970 --> 01:03:48,180 my electric bill was 400. I just 1455 01:03:51,770 --> 01:03:49,980 couldn't get past it so what do you 1456 01:03:54,829 --> 01:03:51,780 saying about Bitcoin mining 1457 01:03:57,650 --> 01:03:54,839 well see because money has gotten a way 1458 01:03:59,049 --> 01:03:57,660 way way more sophisticated this formula 1459 01:04:00,770 --> 01:03:59,059 temperature 1460 01:04:03,710 --> 01:04:00,780 all right 1461 01:04:08,510 --> 01:04:03,720 electricity costs 1462 01:04:10,370 --> 01:04:08,520 um and the cost of construction and and 1463 01:04:13,309 --> 01:04:10,380 maintenance and all the things with 1464 01:04:15,230 --> 01:04:13,319 shipping in s9s from China by the 1465 01:04:16,430 --> 01:04:15,240 trillions okay 1466 01:04:19,849 --> 01:04:16,440 um 1467 01:04:22,670 --> 01:04:19,859 and it will not work at below 1468 01:04:25,670 --> 01:04:22,680 9 000 feet anywhere 1469 01:04:28,309 --> 01:04:25,680 uh in America can't happen 1470 01:04:32,109 --> 01:04:28,319 to God damn room 1471 01:04:35,510 --> 01:04:32,119 um it cannot work under any standard 1472 01:04:39,890 --> 01:04:35,520 electrical service rate 1473 01:04:41,809 --> 01:04:39,900 um when I was mining at MGT we chose in 1474 01:04:45,049 --> 01:04:41,819 the state of Washington 1475 01:04:47,990 --> 01:04:45,059 Partners who were ranchers and being 1476 01:04:51,470 --> 01:04:48,000 ranchers when they allowed the state to 1477 01:04:53,630 --> 01:04:51,480 run electric lines across a hundred 1478 01:04:57,049 --> 01:04:53,640 miles of their Ranch 1479 01:04:59,630 --> 01:04:57,059 gave ranchers and almost ridiculously 1480 01:05:01,730 --> 01:04:59,640 small cost 1481 01:05:04,390 --> 01:05:01,740 so we partnered with Rancher and we'd 1482 01:05:07,730 --> 01:05:04,400 build the facility on his [\h__\h] Ranch 1483 01:05:10,069 --> 01:05:07,740 and we have almost free electricity so 1484 01:05:12,589 --> 01:05:10,079 they built the server Farm there these 1485 01:05:14,450 --> 01:05:12,599 are the games if you can't play these 1486 01:05:18,109 --> 01:05:14,460 games don't get into the mining business 1487 01:05:22,450 --> 01:05:18,119 because you will not succeed 1488 01:05:25,970 --> 01:05:22,460 not succeeding electricity will kill you 1489 01:05:28,670 --> 01:05:25,980 and unless you're in some mining or 1490 01:05:32,450 --> 01:05:28,680 unless you have you know 200 at least or 1491 01:05:34,670 --> 01:05:32,460 500 uh s9s they're running non-stop 1492 01:05:35,990 --> 01:05:34,680 you're not going to be assured of making 1493 01:05:37,970 --> 01:05:36,000 anything at all 1494 01:05:39,589 --> 01:05:37,980 you know you buy one S9 you might run 1495 01:05:41,809 --> 01:05:39,599 the [\h__\h] for five how to do this and 1496 01:05:44,870 --> 01:05:41,819 not find the same for Bitcoin wow yeah 1497 01:05:46,910 --> 01:05:44,880 well it's a numbers game people 1498 01:05:50,990 --> 01:05:46,920 yeah and I guess I wanted to ask you to 1499 01:05:55,549 -->

01:11:51,590 --> 01:11:48,840 I thought a lot about what I could say 1639 01:11:55,070 --> 01:11:51,600 about John in order to make this 1640 01:11:58,189 --> 01:11:55,080 broadcast some form of tribute to 1641 01:12:00,770 --> 01:11:58,199 a childhood Idol of mine who I will 1642 01:12:02,270 --> 01:12:00,780 sadly Miss 1643 01:12:05,990 --> 01:12:02,280 but 1644 01:12:07,729 --> 01:12:06,000 the words just escaped me I tried to 1645 01:12:10,189 --> 01:12:07,739 write something down 1646 01:12:14,510 --> 01:12:10,199 I try to focus my thoughts about John 1647 01:12:18,050 -->

01:12:27,890 --> 01:12:24,120 but then I found some of John's words 1651 01:12:29,510 --> 01:12:27,900 and I think this is the best thing that 1652 01:12:32,870 --> 01:12:29,520 I could leave you with

01:13:02,159 me you are not free 1663 01:13:08,750 --> 01:13:03,780 most people 1664 01:13:11,750 --> 01:13:08,760 lead lives of quiet desperation in a 1665 01:13:14,090 --> 01:13:11,760 habit uh waking up on Monday going to a 1666 01:13:17,990 --> 01:13:14,100 job they do not love 1667 01:13:19,790 --> 01:13:18,000 coming home on weekends perhaps to a 1668 01:13:22,810 --> 01:13:19,800 spouse

01:13:45,530 --> 01:13:41,880 with freedom that quiet desperation 1676 01:13:49,910 --> 01:13:45,540 becomes an awesome mystery where every 1677 01:13:52,250 --> 01:13:49,920 day is brand new and you have no clue 1678 01:13:54,590 --> 01:13:52,260 what may happen 1679 01:13:56,570 --> 01:13:54,600 because the Habit has disappeared and 1680 01:14:00,770 --> 01:13:56,580 has been replaced by 1681 01:14:06,890 --> 01:14:02,750 you want more 1682 01:14:10,430 --> 01:14:08,780 is not going to make you any happier 1683 01:14:11,709 --> 01:14:10,440 [Music] 1684 01:14:16,850 --> 01:14:11,719 never

subdues the heart but 1688 01:14:31,550 --> 01:14:26,699 becomes an appendage of the heart a tool 1689 01:14:33,180 --> 01:14:31,560 to be used to achieve what the heart 1690 01:14:35,330 --> 01:14:33,190 desires 1691 01:14:37,490 --> 01:14:35,340 [Music]
