Where the hell do you start? 52 00:02:55,786 --> 00:02:58,335 It's aberrated all the way through. 53 00:02:58,475 --> 00:03:00,985 If a guy says "I believe in the free enterprise system" 54 00:03:01,125 --> 00:03:03,270 I don't even want to take the time out. 55 00:03:03,410 --> 00:03:06,446 If they say "Do you feel the system can be improved 56 00:03:06,586 --> 00:03:08,414 and how can that be done? 57 00:03:08,554 --> 00:03:12,860 How would you deal with corruption amongst the politicians?" 58 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,392 They'd ask questions, millions of them, if they were sane. 59 00:03:16,532 --> 00:03:18,235 If people come from another world 60 00:03:18,375 --> 00:03:21,251 if they're that smart, to make that journey 61 00:03:21,391 --> 00:03:25,215 what you say to them is "What do you think I ought to know?" 62 00:03:25,355 --> 00:03:28,045 You don't talk to them about [that] you got a wife and two kids. 63 00:03:28,185 --> 00:03:31,621 They're not interested in that shit. "What do you think I ought to know?" 64 00:03:31,761 --> 00:03:33,634 If they're more advanced 65 00:03:33,774 --> 00:03:37,312 they'll tell you what you ought to know, if they can do that [journey]. 66 00:03:37,452 --> 00:03:39,198 You know what I mean? 67 00:03:40,312 --> 00:03:42,444 You've got a tough job in front of you 68 00:03:42,584 --> 00:03:46,705 but I'd rather have a tough job than go along with this. 69 00:03:47,243 --> 00:03:50,488 - I agree - If I wind up in jail, all right 70 00:03:50,628 --> 00:03:54,860 but if you're not attached to things, like the buildings we have here: 71 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,248 I'm not attached to them. I do all I can in them 72 00:03:58,388 --> 00:04:01,721 but if the government takes them over because they don't like the direction 73 00:04:01,861 --> 00:04:03,780 that's possible, too. 74 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,484 You have to include the possible or the highly probable 75 00:04:08,624 --> 00:04:11,366 and you might get arrested or beaten up 76 00:04:11,506 --> 00:04:14,533 because they think you're a communist. Do you understand? 77 00:04:14,673 --> 00:04:20,073 People don't have enough of a value system to see where you differ from it. 78 00:04:20,716 --> 00:04:24,860 "All Japanese look alike. All niggers look alike." 79 00:04:25,488 --> 00:04:27,883 When I was a kid, that was the thing. 80 00:04:28,023 --> 00:04:29,860 When a Jap appeared in town 81 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,121 we used to run down the street and look at him as kids. 82 00:04:33,261 --> 00:04:35,896 We used to do terrible things. We used to say 83 00:04:36,036 --> 00:04:39,914 "Jimmy's sister is a cripple." Did you know that? 84 00:04:40,054 --> 00:04:43,788 Normal kids, how can they be conditioned to do that? 85 00:04:43,928 --> 00:04:47,104 Imagine kids that are insensitive 86 00:04:48,362 --> 00:04:50,769 to a blind person. They trip them. 87 00:04:52,189 --> 00:04:56,629 Many cerebral insufficients were walking down the street when I was a kid 88 00:04:56,769 --> 00:04:58,633 they were not hospitalized. 89 00:04:58,773 --> 00:05:01,289 Kids used to give them horse shit and say "Eat it." 90 00:05:01,429 --> 00:05:03,532 The guy would eat it. 91 00:05:04,158 --> 00:05:06,270 They thought "Hey, this guy eats horse shit!" 92 00:05:06,410 --> 00:05:09,284 The kids had no knowledge, no training. 93 00:05:09,424 --> 00:05:11,195 They were very cruel 94 00:05:11,335 --> 00:05:13,789 but they were normal kids. 95 00:05:13,929 --> 00:05:17,189 Did you ever see that, the idiot in town? 96 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,972 I encountered that. 97 00:05:20,112 --> 00:05:23,564 I built a model airplane and I put it on the ground. 98 00:05:23,704 --> 00:05:26,988 One of the town insufficients was coming by 99 00:05:27,128 --> 00:05:28,705 and I'd wait 100 00:05:29,035 --> 00:05:31,691 so I could see if he'd be amused by that 101 00:05:31,831 --> 00:05:35,191 and he came over and wrecked it completely. 102 00:05:35,810 --> 00:05:37,702 I learned a lot that day. 103 00:05:37,842 --> 00:05:40,540 I thought he might be interested. 104 00:05:41,178 --> 00:05:43,645 I was looking for justice. 105 00:05:43,785 --> 00:05:46,658 Looking for justice will kill you. There's no such thing. 106 00:05:46,798 --> 00:05:48,708 Whatever happens is real. 107 00:05:48,848 --> 00:05:51,503 What you think should have happened is not real. 108 00:05:51,643 --> 00:05:56,464 You're disappointed, not in the world, [but] in your value system. 109 00:05:56,604 --> 00:05:59,860 It's your value system that's screwed up, not the world. 110 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,780 The world is normally screwed up by time. 111 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,471 If you say "That's terrible what people did Wednesday. 112 00:06:07,611 --> 00:06:10,618 They killed a black guy and he was the wrong guy!" 113 00:06:11,419 --> 00:06:13,807 That's within probability. 114 00:06:13,947 --> 00:06:16,246 Whatever happens is real. Can you remember that? 115 00:06:16,386 --> 00:06:19,550 What you think should have happened is not. 116 00:06:19,894 --> 00:06:22,076 "I've been fair to my wife, decent. 117 00:06:22,216 --> 00:06:26,485 I bought her everything she ever asked for, she ran away with the milkman." 118 00:06:26,625 --> 00:06:29,682 So what are you looking for? 119 00:06:29,822 --> 00:06:34,185 You don't know your wife's value systems that well, is what it means 120 00:06:34,325 --> 00:06:36,860 or you don't know enough about people. 121 00:06:38,823 --> 00:06:42,271 That's very hard to accept, "Whatever happens is real." 122 00:06:42,411 --> 00:06:44,833 You go in for an examination one day and the doctor says 123 00:06:44,973 --> 00:06:49,131 "You've got the last stages of cancer. You should have come much earlier. 124 00:06:49,271 --> 00:06:53,616 You've got about 4 months to live. Wrap up your problems." 125 00:06:53,756 --> 00:06:56,909 It's very hard for people to say "I see." 126 00:06:59,305 --> 00:07:01,499 [Instead they say] "But I'm only 40 years old! 127 00:07:01,639 --> 00:07:05,635 I'm only a kid and I'm bald. I've lost my hair from radiation." 128 00:07:06,937 --> 00:07:10,669 Kids say "That's not fair. I haven't even begun to live yet." 129 00:07:10,809 --> 00:07:13,763 The mother says "That's not fair" 130 00:07:13,903 --> 00:07:17,201 but whatever happens is real. Malaria, disease... 131 00:07:17,341 --> 00:07:20,079 People die, young and old. 132 00:07:20,219 --> 00:07:25,115 They die because we don't have sufficient research in all those areas. 133 00:07:25,591 --> 00:07:28,543 How the hell do you get that across? 134 00:07:28,683 --> 00:07:32,146 I seem to get that across to most people that come here 135 00:07:32,286 --> 00:07:36,506 but they're people that apparently seem to like The Venus Project 136 00:07:36,646 --> 00:07:39,305 so they seem to be attuned to this.
