🐾 Rethinking Pet Ownership: Producer vs Consumer Pets

In this paragraph, the speaker delves into the concept of pet ownership, challenging the traditional view of pets as mere companions. They introduce the idea of categorizing pets as either producer or consumer pets, with a spectrum in between.

Keywords

💡Free

In the context of the video, 'free' refers to a state of being unencumbered by restrictions or limitations, particularly in terms of personal liberty and autonomy. The video critiques the Hollywood portrayal of freedom as merely 'locational' or physical movement, emphasizing instead the importance of understanding freedom in a broader, more meaningful sense that includes self-sufficiency and sustainable living.

💡Nomadism

Nomadism, as discussed in the video, is a lifestyle of moving from place to place, often without establishing long-term residence. The speaker criticizes the romanticization of this lifestyle by Hollywood and its potential misuse by the 'elite' to manipulate populations into relocating to smart cities. Instead, the speaker advocates for a form of nomadism that is sustainable and self-sufficient, especially in the context of a post-gasoline world.

💡Elite's Plan

The term 'elite's plan' refers to the perceived strategy of powerful and influential groups to control societal structures and manipulate populations for their benefit. In the video, this is linked to the idea of relocating people from rural areas to urban smart cities, which the speaker sees as a threat to individual freedom and autonomy.

💡Self-sufficiency

Self-sufficiency in the video denotes the ability of an individual or community to provide for their own needs without reliance on external systems or resources. It is presented as a crucial aspect of true freedom, emphasizing sustainable living and independence from the control of others.

💡Producer Pets

The concept of 'producer pets' refers to animals that contribute to the household or individual's sustenance and self-sufficiency. These pets are seen as beneficial because they provide goods or services, such as food or pest control, rather than being solely dependent on their owners for resources.

💡Consumer Pets

Consumer pets are animals kept for companionship that require resources from their owners to survive, as they do not directly contribute to the household's sustenance or self-sufficiency. The video suggests a shift in perspective towards valuing pets that can contribute to the household in a more utilitarian way.

💡Sustainability

Sustainability in the video refers to the practice of living in a way that meets current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It is tied to the idea of self-sufficiency and the responsible use of resources, particularly in the context of a changing world where traditional energy sources may no longer be viable.

💡Domestication

Domestication refers to the process of adapting animals or plants to live with and benefit from human society through selective breeding or training. In the video, the speaker uses the concept to discuss how humans have become reliant on domesticated species for food and companionship, sometimes to the detriment of their ability to live off the land independently.

💡Mental Evolution

Mental evolution in the context of the video refers to the ongoing process of personal growth and development in thought, understanding, and perspective. It emphasizes the need for individuals to continually assess and improve their actions and beliefs to adapt to changing circumstances and to achieve a more enlightened and self-sufficient lifestyle.

💡Sealing Thought

A 'sealing thought' is a term used to describe a limiting belief or mindset that prevents further growth or change. In the video, the speaker warns against the use of phrases like 'trying the best we can' as they can imply a封顶 or limit to one's potential for improvement, which contradicts the idea of ongoing mental evolution and self-improvement.

💡Enlightenment

Enlightenment, as discussed in the video, is the state of being knowledgeable, informed, and aware.

Transcripts

right when you realize that there's a

problem in the game's rigged your first

notion your first inkling is to become

free but our definition of free has been

construed misconstrued by Hollywood it

seems like to be defined as as

locational Freedom like where where you

are like nomadic you know right is

important it's important but we are what

we eat is much more important it's not

any coincidence that that selfish rugged

individualist uh longdistance nomadism

that's been romanticized uh in their

Hollywood is going to it will if we

don't shut it down beforehand if we

don't stop it

beforehand it will just play into the

Elite's plan to

rationalize moving everyone out of the

rule zones and into their smart cities

locational nomadism

is fundamentally advantageous to Bad

Apples because they burn Bridges and

then they move along and they burn more

bridges and so if you romanticize that

then uh then it actually is is actual

quicker process for the elite to be able

to vilify any type of person non

address established human human living

we can't let people who are new to

wanting freedom wanting to be free

getting stuck on nomadism on

unintelligent selfish long distance

nomadism nomadism within a realistic

traveling Network that can be maintained

after gasoline isn't available that's

the type of nomadism that we all need to

be promoting and talking about if I had

had someone who I trusted beforehand

telling me and showing me that that's

and don't get stuck on that or

don't even just don't don't even spend

your time on it it's stupid it's all

egoic and nearsightedness and green horn

horned you know it's like uh then it

would have at least sped me along would

have saved me a good years you know and

those years is what we need for for

people to evolve in their mentality and

their actions before sh it's the fan uh

it could be Make It or Break It You know

right we got a lot to do and none of us

I think the worst thing we can do right

now is say who we're trying the best we

can

right cuz that's like that that that's

like a sealing thought or sealing term

like just how people like use the word

Enlightenment or something like that

which assumes that you can't Enlighten

anymore it's not an evergoing process

you know it's like we have uh we have a

a lot to work on and um the the basis of

us getting more done is to realize that

we can get more done and to put that

ceiling yeah there like oh well I'm

trying the best I can do no one I'm not

trying the best I can I uh if you

actually take take a look back at the

end of each day with that in mind was

there anything that I could have done

that could have been using my my time

more efficiently to help myself and my

community before it's a fan um is

there any way that I could have spent my

time more uh intelligently and and all

of us are up there aren't as

many animals to hunt as there used to be

back in the day when we all used to be

hunter

gatherers but there are plants available

that we can't eat that or that we don't

want to eat because we're so

domesticated even if that's the only

reason uh it doesn't taste as good but

our we there's animals that that we can

have as pets having dogs be and even

cats be like the

go-to the go-to mainstream pet

is is it's like if if we if we could

change one thing overnight that

would really help out everything it

would be for everyone to be able to let

that go and open up their minds to like

I and the only way the best way that I

found that I've like uh realized that

that I can help illustrate that is

dividing All Pets into uh producer pets

or consumer pets and it's a spectrum so

like if you have a hunting dog it's

helping to earn some but I don't care

what people say they're their hunting

dog does not live off your game

you're feeding them supplement and

feeding them dog food framing our pets

as as being more or less uh consumer uh

pets or produce food producing pets um

is the best way

to uh to to just set it out there for

people because this is such a sensitive

topic you can't just be like uh your dog

is going to be

hell when sh it's a fan because you're

going to have to watch it starve you

know or or you're or it's going to be

barking and letting people know that you

uh that house over the hill has enough

food left to feed such a loudmouth and

then you're going to get jacked you know

like there's there's just a uh you can't

come at people with any angle other than

than just being like Oh I view all pets

uh yeah these are my producer pets and I

now View

because I don't have to feed them

anything and they feed

me then uh I I call them producer pets

as opposed to my dog that I gave that I

switched um out for them that that was

more of a consumer pet I had to feed him

everything even though he was a yellow

lab and he could hunt and had hunted

like a duck
