Hey, Rod. How's it going, my man?

What's going on, Pete? Always good to be here with you. Enjoying it.

So we're going to drop another mini episode together here, and you had a concept that you just introduced to me.

And so why don't you vamp on that a bit and see where this goes?

Yeah.

So I'm going to start it out and just hit the ground running.

One of my favorite Albert Einstein quotes is he says,

I fear the day technology surpasses human interaction.

In that day, we have a generation of idiots.

Oh, harsh, but hold on a second.

Reality check, right?

I don't live far from Philadelphia, for example.

I've been right in the outskirts, if not almost in New York City multiple times this

year, around large groups of people.

I do not witness

anybody paying attention to the environment around them. Like people don't look up. And even when

people pray, they put their head down. And like the Bible doesn't say to do that. Like it actually

says like over and over again, look up. look up your redemption draw near. And so I started

thinking about this concept of like the abundance of things that are in our environment that we

are trained so well not to pay attention to. It's almost horrific when you come to the conclusion

that it's worked and you're an unwilling participant.

Maybe you can break some of you out of that by doing a little episode like this.
