Lost in the Groove

This conversation is one of many covering Kanye, but there's a difference here. Our approach is like this we look at the reaction, and to be fair, we are not excusing his behavior; however, the way people are taking it is way too serious. In all honesty, Kanye is notorious for being in people's faces and times where it leaves you with many question marks.

As much as we love Hollywood productions, the actors working in them are treated like trash. As a result, by the time they become big enough to make a career, they are dealing with heavy trauma and sometimes severe depression.

We can not use this to justify irrational behavior or bullying and completely disregard any responsibility for our actions. However, let's consider continuing to cancel people like Kanye in how the public has responded to his interviews and social media postings. Unfortunately, we will see a future of closed-minded individuals afraid to see the worst in people.

You can only remove the bad in the world partially. So it's unrealistic why to spend so much time on getting rid of it (hence woke and cancel culture) instead of educating the problems about it.

This segment of Lost in the Groove is a deep dive, meaning the content we cover in this episode can be graphic and disturbing for some listeners.

By far, one of the deepest dives we have done for Peace of mind to start our prompt is A. I art such as NFT, virtual reality art simulations such a virtual experience of tripping on mushrooms. With that, this is the breakdown of the episode.

Part l: 0:00 - 45:30

How can A.I rewrite history and examine how people have rewritten history without modern technology. Instead of rejecting new advancements in tech, we should embrace them. As an artist, getting used to digital art opened me up to new drawing methods I could not use with pen and paper.

Part ll: 45:30 - 90:00

We are creating art channeling thru your depression, anger, and fear. Some of the most famous artists use that channel and do not succumb to the temptation. Eli was listing to a podcast, "Root of Evil," available on apple podcasts which is all about Dr. George Hodel, a serial killer and a figure in the surrealist group and close friends with Man Ray—going over the story of his killing of the Black Dalihia and his way of expressing the art form thru murder. Tieng this story that took place 80 years ago to now, serial killers and people that psychotic if they can build programs within artificial intelligence that's where can become very dangerous—keeping in mind it's not the A.I is not the only problem. It's also the creator behind it.

Part lll: 90:00 - 94:30

Taking a deeper step, I mention an episode I saw on American horror stories where this film would mentally make you go rapid to the point where people do a master slaughter of one another. It's a TV show, so it's fiction, buts an idea of where our minds can have a hard time understanding what is real when you take the metaverse, a virtual reality where you can be whatever you want. It's hard for some people to want to be in the real world 24/7. So it's an escape with ultimate possibilities.

Part lV: 94:30 - 98:00

We finish off on all the Rat pillows Eli made throughout the episode. The Underland critters are available for purchase on Instagram: @eli_nerat_underland

Some of the earliest activists in the Queer community were angry and did everything they could to stand up and fight. Harvey Milk was driven not only by the community in the Castro but the achievement of doing something for once in his life.

Throughout this episode, Karissa and I look at Harvey's story, the community around him, and what happened towards the end in 1978.

If not for Harvey, many Queer communities may not have had the same rights as we do now. The lesson we, as stoners, are trying to bring out is closed-mindedness never leads to happiness. Instead, it causes sorrow and hatred and can lead to the deaths of people trying to make the world a better place.

🌟Harvey Milk Foundation🌟

"Quoted from the website"

Harvey Milk’s dream for a better tomorrow filled with the hope for equality and a world without hate guides the Foundation. Harvey Milk’s groundbreaking election in 1977 as one of the world’s first openly gay elected officials-and its most visible one- symbolized the freedom to live life with authenticity to millions of LGBT women and men around the world.

Harvey served less than a year in public office before his brutal assassination, but his life profoundly changed a city, state, nation, and a global community. His courage, passion, and sense of justice rocked a country and stirred the very core of a put down and pushed out community, bringing forward new hope and a new vision of freedom.

Very last minute, I was discussing with Eli what we should talk about, and we thought there was Thanksgiving and Christmas in December. So why don't we talk about that?

And here we are, a two-hour conversation on holidays with the history behind it, looking at our childhoods and how we were raised and understanding a faith, a real deep dive on religion and how it has shaped our society and allowed us to turn a blind eye.

In this episode, Karissa and I pay tribute to an incredible singer artist Freddie, who tragically died of AIDS in 1991. We, as stoners, know that music is so important, and bands like Queen can never be the same without Freddie, even after thirty years have passed.

The sole purpose of this discussion is to learn what we can learn from someone like Freddie. Besides being a singer, he showed emotions and traits like most of us.

What an amazing experience and dive we had the pleasure of having the fabulous Shawn Ellis Rogers host five podcasts and an up and coming  Talent group Podcast an up and coming podcast network serving your realness and the real talk about reality TV and pop culture, and I was a guest on Shawn's show Real Reality Realness.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into both cultures. With Shawn being born in the early 90s and me being born at the end of the 90s. one right after the other, we look at our past and how we were raised. Our queerness and how it developed us to adulthood. In short, this episode is about two people that want to make a positive impact, be inspired, and, in the process, hopefully, inspire others that open-mindedness is not that scary.

On this episode, we have a special guest, corbie Mitlied that will take us on a journey and understand trauma from being there presently to years later and for the distant future, your plans of using it as a tool and not as the weight you carry on shoulders with pain. Corbie's story is painful, but as she puts it, she's not a cancer survivor but a cancer dancer. We as a society need to take a better look at trauma and stop treating it as a test you just passed. Instead, look at what it is, creating strength from the trauma, not a weakness or a crutch.

Cancel Culture on paper, like many great ideas, is great until it's practiced in society. There are celebrities or people with a lot of power that are abusive and dangerous and can cause harm to people around them, but the way we stay true to our society's beliefs and have respect for those too much fewer charges and instead of shutting them showing them the error of their ways.

With the advances of the Internet and the age of social media, the first amendment comes up to do the feeling we are being limited and not allowed to express ourselves. Eli and I will break this down and try to understand what free speech is now and where. Elon owns twitter and planning to make a free place, but where does the line need to be drawn before we reach a point of too much freedom that can lead to harming others?
