I mean.
I didn't live 70 years ago.
But what i know about that time.
People were just afraid.
And they had no Understanding of how things worked.
they were so afraid.
Everybody just went and worked in a Canary.
And the big dudes walked around with the FBI for protection.
I think we've come a little passed that.

I honestly think.
We're a little more efficient.
And we've learned a little bit.
IN 70 YEARS.
I want to say
we are a little more productive.
I want to say.
ONE person can do the work of 10
with a PC or an INTERNET connection.
I want to say.
Canning FRUIT is NOT what it was in the 1930's.

I think you can buy the bear mentality
if you want.
I think you can roll up in a ball.
and hide in closet.
and throw everybody off your playground.
If you want.
I think your perfectly entitled to do that.
I think you have a right.
If you own the playground.
That's fine.
Doesn't mean dudes won't just walk across the street.
and pick up their own game.
Doesn't mean a thing.
If you own the playground.
This is the year 2001.
We've got hungry kids.
Wanting to prove something.
We've got innovation
and technology like never before.
We've got the fire of the human spirit.
However Hokey that might sound.
We've got all of that.
And this ain't the 1930's.
I didn't live through the 1930's.
But i got some of the tail end
of that generation mindset.
And it was all about the mindset.
That's all it was.
It was nothing more than a Fear based
MINDSET.
Nothing more.

NOw i don't really care.
what mindset you choose.
You can get up in the morning.
and think the world is coming to an end.
You can do that
if you choose.
I don't really care.
what you do.
You can get up in the morning.
and attack your neighbor.
from the get go.
You can do that.
If you choose.
If that's what you choose to do.
I think the collective.
consciousness.
Of the world.
Is smarter than that.
I think the colllective
consciousness of the world.
INTUITIVELY>
knows what's right.
and knows what's just.
and knows what's honest.
So i don't think.
It matters
Individually.
What you do.
or what you choose to think.
Or what you choose.
to feed your mind with.
I think.
Everybody has a right.
to feed their mind.
with whatever stuff.
they want.
That's the beauty
of all this.

Part of the beauty
of all this.
I think we've got a massive shift.
Of wealth going on.
I think old ideas
about business.
are dying.
I think old ideas.
about technology.
and innovation.
are dying.
I think old ideas.
about productivity.
and what is valued.
I think they're dying.
I think those old ideas.
were pounded in to our head.
Long enough.
and people are realizing.
that it's not that way.
that they don't agree.
that what somebody values.
just because they've always valued it.
isn't valid.
I think people recognize that
more and more.
Pretty amazing stuff.
I think the more people know.
the more people know.
and the better they are able.
to think for themselves.
That's one of the reasons.
I'm so excited about the internet.
It empowers you.
It empowers me.
It makes us all better.
It makes us all independent thinkers.
We don't have to listen.
to the media.
We are the media.
We don't have to listen.
to the news.
We make the news.
We don't have to listen to the spin.
We fight it out.
In the trenches ourselves.
And we make the spin.
It's not the way it always was.
This is not the 1930's.
People have access to to much opportunity.
they don't have to buy the fear based mindset.
of the 1930's
if they don't want to.
Amazing stuff.

Now one of the beautiful things.
About this TEchnology crash.
Is it made people aware.
Of wall street and their ways.
It made people aware.
That wall street guys are just human.
And they make mistakes.
And they screw up.
and they're self centered.
And they're greedy.
And they can be just as wrong.
Even more wrong.
And they have to live with that.
Nobody can go up to Henry Blodgett.
and say.
Hey Henry.
TOUGH BREAK.
HOW DOES IT FEEL.
TO lose 99 percent of your wealth.
HOW does it feel.
to take all those big investors.
Out to the parking lot.
And shoot them with your recommendations.
How does it feel to devestate a couple hundred thousand lives.
Do you feel like a BIG MAN ON CAMPUS>
well.
I think that's all going to work itself out.
However painful all of that is.
I think all of that is eventually going to be
put in perspective....and people are just going to laugh at some of the recommendations...and laugh at some of the stupid things...that come from the self centered ideas...from wall street. I think what worked before on wall street. Is going to be laughed at. And flung in the face of the people ...who try to use it...And that's all a good thing. Dont' get me wrong.

I think hate and anger.
can only take you so far.
I think hate and anger.
when your using as a catalyst.
to energize.
On the short side.
Can only take you so far.
and eventually.
It snaps back.
and bites you in the ass.
I'm convinced of that.
If your using that hate and anger.
every day.
as a spring board.
to short more stocks.
and buy more puts.
and talk more smack.
day after day.
week after week.
I think you can do that.
and that's your right.
as a human being.
I think you can do that.
but you better be ready.
for the consequences of that.
as well.
You better be ready.
for all that energy.
You've created.
TO snap back and bite you in the ass.
I think you have to be ready for that.
If that's how you choose.
to live your life.
because eventually.
The rational.
and reasoning.
consciousness
of the universe.
Is going to say.
THATS JUNK.
that's all BUNK>
that's all a bunch of garbage.
That's not right.
And that silent.

consciousness of the universe.
IS GOING TO SILENTLY.
right itself.
It's going to silently.

rise up and GO ABOUT it's business.
AND you have to understand that.
You have to be cognizant.
Of all that.
It's important.

Things iv'e learned.
When people get beaten down long enough.
they just stop listening.
They either give up.
shrivel up and die.
Or they totally become immune.
It's like the prisoners of war.
The dudes you hear about.
that lived years in solitary confinement.
You hear those guys stories.
And you have to be amazed.
by the stamina.
and wonder of the human spirit.
It's just all pretty amazing.
to me.
All pretty amazing.

I'm always pretty amazed.
BY the subconscious messages.
People give off in public.
I'm always pretty amazed by that stuff.
Always amazed.
People make an unconscious
attempt
to avoid.
things they can't understand.
and things they don't want to look at.
They make an unconscious attempt.
to walk away.
and ignore.
things they don't want to see.
and things they don't want to feel.
If it causes any kind of pain.
If people aren't totally right.
within themselves.
about how they feel.
about themselves.
they make an unconscious attempt.
to avoid.
things that don't make sense.
that's always amazing .

And it's much easier.
to catagorize.
It's much easy.
to generalize.
and throw everybody in a nice clean sack.
and clean up the yard.
clean up the house.
so to speak.
it's much easier to do that.
than to think about.
the things that don't make sense.
it's much easier to throw it all in to a barrell.
and say.
there
it's done.
now it all makes sense.
it's much easier to do that.
than live with uncertainty.
and live with questions.
and live with that constant.

As far as i'm concerned.
At this point.
Lies.
and confusion.
and spam.
and distortion.
that stuff is weak.
I think at this point in the game.
All that stuff is fear.
I think at this point.
all the personal attacks.
that stuff is weak.
that's about fear.
That's about some inane insecurity.
that i'm not here to understand.
I think all that stuff is weak.
I'm not here to support it.
I'm not here promote it.
or condone it.
I'm not even here to read it.
ANY more.
that's not what i want.
Or need right about now.
I don't need that stuff.
right now.
I need to see the good.
I need to look inside myself.
right now.
I need to find that strength.
and excitmement about stuff.
right now.
I don't need to know.
other people's perspectives.
right now.
ALL that is pretty clear to me.
right now.
what people think anyway.

to figure out where every bodies head is.
right now.

It's funny to me.
how people think
intimidation.
and walking over you.
works.
it just kind of amazes me.
that people think those tactics are effective.
all that stuff just kind of amazes me.
NOW take the PUFFDADDY guy for example.
that guy just amazes me.
Now i don't know if he calls himself.
PUFFDADDY because he does a lot of crack.
or if he's just basically cranky and smokes a lot.
I'm not sure if he calls himself
PUFFDADDY because he thinks he can HUFF
AND puff and blow your house down.
I'm not really sure what it is about his persona
that makes him think people are going to roll over
and die because he says so.
I mean if he wants to kill something he's going to have to do a little bit better job of it.
Then the dude changes his name to stock operator as if he can once again use this intimidation tactic to beat some sense in to you. I don't really understand that. Because the more somebody tries to beat sense in to me. the more i resist when i know it's based on solid reasoning. OK so the dude changes his name again. Can't intimidate enough with stock operator or he stole the name or some damn thing. So now he's got the intimidating NEWYORKCITYBOY name that everybody is supposed to be afraid of. Like the streets of NEWYORK CITY make him better than everybody else. I DON'T understand that kind of logic. I don't understand that kind of intimidation. It just doesn't make sense to me. THE more somebody tries to intimidate me. The stronger i resist. That's just the way i am. I don't really understand that. It's just the way it is.
I guess to me. INTIMIDATION and bullying. IT's fear. PLAIN and simple. INTIMIDATION is FEAR. ATTACKING is fear. PLAIN and simple. THAT'S ALL it is. LIKE THE LITTLY BULLY ON THE PLAYGROUND. INTIMIDATION is fear.
