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] [Laughter] [Music]
