yeah it's always the cannabis users
harassment and maybe not asking about me
and more asking about the Jewish world
and and cannabis usage and and I have
found I've found in generally Jerusalem
there that I'm quorum that it seems that
almost everyone I've ever met who's ever
had a past with cannabis seems to have a
present with it fun for them and that
includes people you just be shocked like
you just be shocked like yeah I don't
know what it is I think what it is is
when the alcohol goes in there there are
secrets
well the secrets come out and the secret
is that they love Canada's but no really
I think what happens is they they
actually I think with their alcohol
lowers your inhibitions and lowers your
inhibitions and I think that's my maybe
part of it what's interesting though
about it is it's not exactly the most
appropriate thing for for because the
whole point of a quorum is to go to a
place where you're where you're beyond
distinction Abdullah Azzam
means the words are uglier I supposed to
get so intoxicated so you no longer know
the difference of things and what's
interesting about that is cannabis
usually offers great ability of making
distinctions about things you would
never have thought were distinct is the
enzyme so it's almost like the it almost
is the tree of
inferred that kind of person since we're
on the subject we should mention that
there's two uses of canvas the one use
is the kind that 99% of people doing
that's called regular use and they don't
get they get certain property and that
comes with pins and then the other is
called irregular use which is 6/8 means
something like that which we come out to
about six to maybe ten times a year
perhaps maybe a little more but but not
much smaller and then it has a totally
different effect a totally different
property so the property that comes with
someone who uses an infrequent way is
that they will get a tremendous clarity
tremendous clarity they'll be able to
make distinctions of things they never
thought of before make connections in
their brain that they never would have
made before and most importantly has
come to a state of gratitude for their
lives probably stop complaining and
start actually appreciating what they
got going on you know life likely to see
their spouse and children and begin to
cry at how incredible they are and how
much they've been missing out on it all
this time because for some reason they
send 3d and connected which is not
something that goes away when the canvas
wears off they now are in a new realm of
appreciation of their spouse versus why
this takes place is that the the canvas
directly affects them an area of the
brain called default mode never now
welcome welcome
we're discussing canvas today apparently
anyway please stay close to them further
though if you can it's just no good
grandma no
okay now just to give you a little brain
science what happens is the human brain
has the middle of it's got something
called the default mode network I
discussed that network a lot because in
my seminar work happens to be able to
shut down the default mode network via
that by the way there's a similar coming
up next this coming Sunday and by the
way did I mention to you we're having
that joint party Thursday night I'm
doing the live music Coombs it's this
Thursday night in do schinsky she will
not be 90 p.m. with joint serve free
what's why I do events like this so this
is friends now anyway it's just men
unfortunately I apologize you're really
following me online yeah doing my media
club man what's what's this medium is
announcing hello
tonight is the media club's first event
I'm doing a Q&A all around the world
unzoom and if anyone wants to be part of
that you've been waiting to join the
club well wait no more and just join the
club
alright so media Club told media Club
and tonight's Q&A it's 12 p.m. Trillium
our time 5 p.m. Eastern
- PM uestion and all those students in
the middle I guess is figured out
something at 5:00 in - yeah that's the
default mode Network its job is just to
give it a nutshell its job is to take
all your past experiences to help you
navigate a future that's why thirty year
old driving their six year old driver
driving across the country says he's
just got more passed in the database to
be predicting the future as he's
navigating along the road now they've
discovered that ninety percent of what
you see when you're in serious
navigation mode is ninety percent of
what you see is actually a predictive
model that your brain creates so that
your ten percent stays on task so 90
percent you think the brain is working
when you're going on I only went in fact
90% of its modeling the side and the
trees and the birds and everything going
on around you it's 90 percent of your
brain is modeling that from pastic
highway experiences 10 percent of your
brain is the one that's actually
stimulated by why the cars in front of
you which is a really good thing
you don't want the prison driving to be
experiencing what the passengers
passengers also predictive because the
default could have never done never
switch up cannabis is a bit of a switch
and that's what part of what we're
discussing and that's why you should not
be driving on cannabis because the bird
ain't more interesting than the car with
his brake lights on in front okay and
you don't want to be seeing that bird
you want to have your brain modeling the
bird and not seeing the actual bird so
you can stay on task and keep your
brakes
that's why it's really worth noting your
iron when the default mode network is
down now the there are ways for you to
get the default mode network down fly a
meditation that's one way the way I need
is through seminars I run a center Club
the possible you where we really into
the default mode Network by attacking on
its terms which really freaks it out
because the only way your default oh so
remember atomic highways how you
navigate yeah so you're navigating
default mode network taking your past
and spraying it onto the cars in front
of it so you can it reacted for it
really so it turns out because there's
no switch your default on networks
working overtime all the time
you always think you're going that any
mouse you always think you're going to
emails per hour and you always and your
brain keeps thinking it needs to predict
things so for example you're here you're
filtering out most of my class right now
there's probably so much said already or
there's something about my style
maybe someone said something once about
Hasina or whatever it may be who knows
what but your default mode network is on
like all the time because you don't have
a switch for it and so you're you've
knocked me into some kind of concept
I'll be lucky to get an important word
in edgewise during this hour you know
maybe I can slip something under the
radar of your default mode Network and
maybe touch your Park in some special
way which is all I'm doing here but your
default mode network will make you fall
asleep right now there's only speaking
to the default mode Network you by the
way you're all asleep you realize if
your default on networks predicting me
right now and predicting everything and
all it's doing is trying to keep you
from crashing into the car in front of
you which in this case is a wildly
man so the if your if your default on
network is constantly protecting you
from these things you know good luck
hearing anything I say you know you're
not really here you're not really
everywhere anywhere I mean I'm not even
sure you taste an apple when you're
chewing on reading the concept of an
Apple what you're talking to a concept
of your spouse you're in the concept of
your children and the cons of your job
serious concept of your boss you're
married your major concept
okay so listen what happens is that that
many of these things especially all
psychedelics and cannabis is listed
amongst psychedelics they take the
default mode network offline no think
about it everyone you probably weren't
thinking about this but think about this
for a moment
missing this girl over here is that the
thing about this if 90 if your default
mode network has you 90 percent in
predictive models about what's going on
around you you got that question if
that's the case what's going on with
your whole brain that's built for
stimulation from sight smell color
emotion like you know taste touch what's
going on with the rest of your receptors
because you have massive amounts I only
mentioned the senses just there well I
mentioned feelings but what's going on
with the rest of your brain when the
answer is it's all getting suppressed by
the default mode Network the job of the
devant work network is to keep you shut
down so that you don't bump into
vehicles at high speeds you get that job
of your default mode network is the key
you shut down and to turn everything you
see to flip it from an experiential
reality to a conceptual reality so that
everything becomes appliances like for
example if you have a family member who
raises their voice bridge again if you
have a family member raise their voice
once in a while okay one less person to
Ana's prisons beyond identifying
six under prison and then the rest are
liars okay so everyone has a relative
that raise their voice once in a while
and now that's a great time for default
mode network to purely conceptualize
this person missus as a raving idiot and
because no one deserves your attention
when they're yelling and so you should
that's fine go offline you wonder if you
want to go offline go offline sorry you
don't let your default mode that really
meeting your brain offline so the
default mode network can just
conceptualize this screamer
this person is screaming so that's good
let the default mode Network
conceptualize that person as a screamer
and someone you pay no attention to
especially the details that they say by
the way those may be important details
just mention they may be important
details they're screaming about but you
know to take note of them maybe in
another time now well this person that
full volume and they're probably hitting
you in the lowest place and they're
probably also getting your right when
you at least would have expected it like
before your copy just never good time
now I don't know now
cannabis puts your default mode network
offline because the rest of the marine
to network you got that because the rest
brain networks only music sounds like
extremely enhanced now by the way it's
the music extremely enhanced nope
nothing's changed in the music the only
thing that's changed the music your
receptors are experiencing a full that's
here's experiencing employment you know
lawston that's why if you guys ever been
to a concert for a band or group that
you like listening to on their you know
studio recordings you ever done that and
did anyone have the coolest time ever
doing that and it was just completely
beyond beyond the recording like way
beyond great card don't ever have that
happen
yeah that's because they knocked your
default mode Network senseless through
their loud music you know I know people
ever loves to say they love loud music I
always know when I write hears music
blast it's gonna be down and in 30
seconds that's not 20 seconds and many
of them even 10 seconds and one of the
only people only know you stereo goes to
11 and stays there have 11 cars many
speakers in my car stereo I have two
hearing aid Wharfedale monster speakers
in my dining room
I think loud music very seriously and I
also do not like live performances
because as a musician I'm a total snob
and I want it's time to be absolutely
perfect which is rarely it's rarely
possible you know especially out of
doors and so I really prefer many music
straight out of the studio I don't like
a lot of live recordings and sorry don't
like my I don't like concerts can be fun
if they're if there's an exchange like
the Grateful Dead concerts there was
exchange there was a relationship going
I remember my first show people kept
showing me pieces of paper with words on
them and then look at me like look at
the piece of paper and there's something
kind of legible written there you know I
can say like I don't know a Terrapin
station or something and I'd be like but
what I didn't realize what was going on
was that these papers were going around
the whole place with its name of a song
to see if the band we start playing if
we all got enough people thinking of it
which happened five times in a 3-hour
concert and every time it happened the
crowd went so wild and by the way I
remember I didn't understand what the
papers were I didn't put it together to
the crowd going wild either
it's fun it's like as musician I'm
looking at them on stage and I'm just
like why is the crowd going eight
like literally nothing is mad and later
I started realizing that there's an
exchange going on and they really wasn't
exchanged oh my goodness they once
played on New Year's Eve in Oakland they
once played knocking on a knock knock
knockin on heaven's door you know which
is a pretty deep song about yeah you
know how one more time
last time
Wow a lot of people know that song so I
I spared you ladies in case you're
ditching seminary so anyway you know
Clinton they played it halftime
you know what halftime would be mean
that's a property of slows play it so
it'd be some way next thing I know I'm
crying
musics barely moving I'm just standing
there 30,000 people and I'm crying so
I'm like what now you don't need crying
theater and you're like surfing really
kind of self-conscious like know what
you noticed I just you know you've got a
look see if anybody's looking right
right and the guys crying I look to my
left and he's crying
and then I'm like what's going on here
so I leave to look down the rubble
everybody's crying I looked down there
everybody
I finally turn around it was all this
was all they weren't seats there meaning
it's not much of a row but whatever it's
huge area you know thirty thousand an
auditory but we're on the floor with no
seats and I look back and there's whole
Huddle's of people saw me
oh sorry freaked out that was New Year's
in Oakland but that was the exchange
maybe the band was playing us we were
like the strings of the of the musicians
and then I'm telling you now we're five
minutes later I think we were all all
30,000 people were more airborne than
touching earth I'm jumping in elated joy
for like another ten minutes of ecstatic
dance so there was a real exchange and
that attribute by the way for those
Kabbalists in the room is called me to
sign you so me to say so is the USB into
play interface between you and
everything how you interface with the
world
what's your interface people have
different interfaces my favorite people
are
sometimes for selfish reasons like when
I'm careening down the old city my
mountain bike instinct people tend to
know I'm coming they'll turn around I'm
still 100 yards away and they'll just
sense it where is you can have someone
coming towards me who's an intellectual
there's intellectual center personals
and essentials
they're coming behind me who's an
intellectual and the guy like won't even
figure out how like he'll start playing
that game you know you're watch you get
your booklet which way you just get out
of way but I played that game with
intellectuals and I'm going 30 km/h down
down slick old city stone streets and
this is the game he's suddenly playing
with he's not trying to play a game he
says no means smarts and instincts are
opposites did I oh you see smart enough
I feel bit I said that smart and
instincts are not opposites
intellectuals and instinct shows are
opposites intellectuals they're very
smart about ideas not very smart about
nothing bikers know I all set up
instinct shows is because they like to
invite me to it have a face they love
saunas they just love swimmers I know
one instinct show that goes just he
actually goes to a full like you know
five saunas spa every day I always know
whenever I'm where New York
so he's know wherever whenever I'm
visiting in New York like go to me foot
bobbin whatsapp him meet him in a spa
and because I'm very in solution now
what's interesting is a lot of us think
that intellectuals and smart people
right elections you know that a lot of
instinctual people are smarter and
there's your personal people are smarter
the mini elections but some people they
just love ideas but they weren't given a
great engine you know and you know you
mean an essential paper person who's
been given a Ferrari and that's this the
whole financial district but midtown
Manhattan there are all instinctual
who were actually been me to uh what's
called their meet us in the seven
spirits which is the left side they're
very into technical and structure and
they're geniuses and their instinctual
may get this doctrine and they get the
markets and how things move and they
just make good decisions
now back to canvas the what happens is
cannabis well it's all second day let's
take the default mode network offline
causing the rest of the brain to
experience things and the music doesn't
sound better on cannabis it's just the
music you're actually hearing at us
you're just hearing it for what's
actually there now that you get to hear
the music and know here's the
interesting thing here's the dangerous
thing with cannabis 99% of cannabis
users are abusers and what I mean by
abusers is it's not exactly the same as
abuse but it's called over users 99% of
cannabis users are over users and then
it has a completely different effect and
you can even call it an opposite what it
does is the default mode Network
realizes what's going on here not
doesn't they get more than three times
and four times in a row of a cannabis
user using it let's say within a week
four times in a row default mode Network
already gets it these guys this guy's
thinks he can trip me up every day and
and then the default mode Network pumps
back in now listen to everyone I'm about
to say because it could save your
marriage literally or get you married if
you're a chronic smoker
listen carefully the default meant the
remote network is no dummy
because back online the canvas goes in
yeah which has you know it's
psychoactive it's very psychoactive in
fact and so here this guy's totally
buzzed with his default mode network
doing its job of suppressing the rest of
the brain and what happens is don't tell
you this okay here we go
the remember earlier I was saying how
how how cannabis can candy couple things
that are distinct from one another you
can actually distinguish them meaning
things that should be just a better word
it will help you distinguish them it's
like the tree of knowledge good and evil
it helps you see things that you thought
were one or actually two there are two
you shouldn't mess up that distinction
you know don't just go to an eye doctor
if someone's getting a cataract fix
don't go to the laser surgeon who helps
with vision you want to distinguish
these things but for the rest of us
they're just called eye doctors doesn't
understand like distinguish what is said
by someone screaming
with what they're feeling what they're
saying they don't mean what their what
they're feeling right now it's really
insecure someone's screaming and losing
it's really insecure if you want to
distinguish words from feeling what
they're saying or what they're feeling
these are important distinctions to have
one of the properties of cannabis is it
it causes the ability to make
distinctions it just gives you better
ability to make distinctions that's all
now making distinctions
with the party a brain that's networked
the rest of the brain that's networked
because the default mode Network went
down while on cannabis you're gonna
you're gonna come away with incredible
wisdom that you had locked in side that
suddenly has become available and you're
gonna be whole like a profit for a
couple hours and I suggest writing
everything down if you do this because
it's gonna be life-changing you know
help others change your lives
are you ready for this here's the freaky
part is that the default include
networks fully online and it's got your
rest your brain suppressed which is its
job is to keep the rest of brain not
networked and then add all these
distinctions what you're going to wind
up doing listen carefully is going super
conceptual like we spoke about us being
in the conceptual mode and then we went
to the live concert and we got like faux
experiential mode and we then we heard
it because we're in the experience the
canvas will cause the person with their
default one network up which is what's
its job his job is to create a concept
over everything it sees so it can
navigate do you conceptualize your mom
so you can navigate with her
you can subsidize your father's you can
navigate spouses are conceptualized by
the other spouse for navigation so your
brains in full conceptional mode but all
of a sudden you're making all these
distinctions but the problem is
distinctions are going to run with
clarity the distinction in the realm of
come in second and then you start
conceptualizing your spouse you know all
kinds of distinctions that are not fair
they're not nice
and and you start conception of your
father and conceptualize the neighbor
you can subsidize this and subside that
after a while your whole life is just a
concept and over uses of marijuana live
totally lost in concepts
everything is just some conceptual over
distinguished conceptual living that is
has taken them away from this world and
it could be even the US government the
FDA have finally said you know what they
wanted so badly we'll just make it
easier to rule the heavier psychedelics
make it impossible to rule but I don't
know if it's still the case but at one
point they're getting caught with a drug
was you know whatever they called it
class 1 drug offense or whatever it was
called LSD was called conspiracy
overthrow the government it was caught
with that but it could be that it could
be that that command is exactly what the
government should be using because it
will certainly put people into the
concepts and policy into their
particular partisan you know hit space
and the and so the examples I'd like to
give you go over to your friend Joe's
house he's a real hothead
and he goes to the bathroom and he's got
all these bottles on us on this window
and you go over to one of those bottles
you know you find the Grolsch bottle
with a flip cap you know the sealable
flip cap and you're flipping the cap and
waiting for Joe to get out of the
bathroom today you don't gonna do that
give me as your smartphone we said
before smartphones you're playing with
the flip cap and Joe comes out of the
bathroom sees you holding his growth
ball screams that you should put it back
bros model he's like
that bottle means and you're like
secretly you're like I don't want to
hear it because I've already been
listening you for last 45 minutes of any
main conundrum of non sequiturs of
things that you should found meaningful
but nevertheless of course you're gonna
do a story about the world's bottom
dates back 12 years all unimportant but
extremely important for Joe anyway so
you told Joe that we're all heading over
to France to play pool at which point
Joe says
what do you think everybody goes to
frame sounds but actually come to think
about it I never seen you he says like I
guess Frank's house is now not going
either hang with me here your friends on
your own I'll take the ladder please and
so what happens is they start living
inside this whole realm of conceptual
leading and this sadly often is the male
rather than the female in a marriage
just to talk about how can really mess
up a marriage it's usually the male or
the female and the reason why it's
usually the male or the female is first
of all men in general you know are when
you when you pull men they generally
fall under women when it comes to
responsibility there they they have less
likelihood to take on responsibility if
you think about women themselves they're
physiologically built to make sure of
the survival of humanity of the human
species
you don't have a newborn and just hand
it your husband for a week understand
you know it's in good hands with the
mother the good to take responsibility
for that so just built to do it and and
there's also not to mention just
culturally there's thousands of years of
traditions of monastic daughters of like
taking care of caretakers good
stuff nests otherwise known to men is
begins with a big R and if I can quote
Cheech Marin which is appropriate of all
of my classes this is doubly a good time
about Cheech Marin of cheeking Chung who
said responsibilities they have a
responsibility man men don't like
responsibility much and the fact that
they can take a trip to Disneyland with
one pot mostly regular users which is
99% of near whole you know Joey to the
moon yeah anyway so what happens is
she's not smoking so much she doesn't
also have that escaped need as much she
doesn't have to press escape on our
keyboard as much as the man does men
need to get out and thank God few ladies
us observant men have screwed yeah sure
we are constantly the escape button and
we get up in the morning first thing you
got to do is go ashore and if you're
acidic you would spend your morning
person at least 15 to 20 minutes naked
with all your neighbors at least the
male ones and and that's very that is
very good for the soul very good for the
soul I mean think about it
think about most people number one here
in painting is social anxiety social
anxiety and social anxiety is mostly
prompted by people's outfits and you
know there's stand
outfits based on kind of where their and
the some people make you feel at ease
you make me feel these what's your name
makes me think that I got to say some
intelligent or something here you know
what I'm saying
but how would I know the difference
between the two of them it's just their
presentation and how healthy it is for
the soul to spend your morning start
naked with everyone in your community
long story short is that the man's using
the cannabis there's another thing is
that let's say she's into cannabis yeah
listen she's in the cannabis but she's
pregnant she's nursing not using
cannabis he's the guy in living in some
conceptual trap in some fungal you know
his brains like gone fungal and she's
just become famed with pointed ears
mrs. disaster and the kids are just one
more obligation and they and they
themselves are like little gnomes that
are nothing but a hassle
and so basically cannabis has been a
total disaster to most families and and
it's something that should be avoided at
all costs
and again if you think you're the person
who can use that particular plant that
God put in this world to be used then if
you think you can use it right I'll bet
you can
Betty you can and and and I and all you
regular users prove me wrong
send me on whatsapp prove me wrong okay
anyway joined the media club yum top
media club calm and tonight's the first
event so hope to see you there
and do it quickly so we can get you on
the link shut up everybody
[Music]
