March 02, 2021 Moving humanity towards a better path - Ep.34
This one got a little heated in so many ways. That just goes to show how passionate we are when it comes to certain subjects. It started off with the big question of Why do we even try? Sounds pessimistic, and it is, but we do drops bits of gold as to why we try...maybe they'll resonate with you as well. We made a ton of tangents in the conversation and talked about the "trust" factor in all things we do, including scientific studies. Of course we ended up with ways you can change yourself and your mindset so that together we can start moving humanity towards a better path.
This one took a lot of twists and turns but it turned out amazing. Listen, enjoy and join the conversation on YT: Change Yourself, Change the World, or IG: @changeyourself.changetheworld .

December 11, 2020 The Road to Extreme Gratitude - Ep.29
Ever since the election ended and the chaos seems to have subsided, in some parts, our conversations have started to take a whole different aspect. We still talk about the BS of society and how we can change ourselves and let that change ripple out into society, but things seem to be getting deeper into our inner universe.

In this talk we talk about spirituality, jerking off and the no fap movement, romantic relationships, current events and of course how we take all this information so that we can change ourselves.

The main takeaway is this... imagine you have one week to get enlightened, go do it HAHA...

So listen and enjoy, hopefully you learn a thing or two.

November 13, 2020 We need to change the game - Ep. 27
This whole podcast revolves around ways we have changed ourselves and the reasons why society is the way it is.
A lot of our problems stem from our education system and the failure to teach students necessary critical thinking and life skills.
We dive into the CA propositions, the tax propositions are still being counted, hopefully they don't pass. Unfortunately, California is now creating another bureaucratic system called the California Privacy Protection Agency... greaaaat, more government offices to be manipulated by the companies they are supposed to be overseeing. I hope they actually do their job.

On another note, this shitty election and political process just convinced me even more that we need something I called True Democracy. Something that is both a direct democracy in which you can vote for the issues yourself as well as a republic in which you can give your power of vote to whoever your wish and take it away whenever you want. This winner take all mentality

The idea of "solid power" is something I have begun to seriously question and instead am proposing more of a "fluid power", basically meaning that power is not restricted by time or authority....

On that note RICO 2024 ...
In 2024 I will be eligible to run for president, and I intend on doing so.
Let's do it fellow human beings. Let's start making some real change in ourselves, in our community and in our world.

Have an amazing day.
Hope you enjoy the episode.
Remember to live, laugh and love today, because tomorrow isn't promised.

P.S. Thinking about moving to SEA... Most likely Thailand... Who wants to come with? haha

November 03, 2020 Let's get political - Ep.26
The election is tomorrow, these are our views on it and the propositions in California.
Even if you don't live in California, you can listen along and see all the BS they are trying to pass. Maybe even compare it to the propositions in your state. Always make sure you check who is funding and supporting them.
We go on random tangents for the first hour or so, hope you enjoy our crazy theories and ideas haha.
Thank you once again.
Hope you go voice your opinion in the upcoming election, even if it's all fake lol.
Have an amazing day, stay safe out there.

Quick Recap if you're in California, our consensus for the props are as follows.
Prop 15 - No
Prop 16 - No
Prop 17 - No
Prop 18 - No
Prop 19 - No
Prop 20 - Yes
Prop 21 - No
Prop 22 - Yes
Prop 23 - No
Prop 24 - No
Prop 25 - No

Anything that either increased government spending, power or authority we basically decided to vote no against. Since this is California, most of the propositions wanted to raise taxes and expand government power so we definitely have to vote NO on all of those.

Hope you stay free out there.
