I still think about that. I still quote that line from henry david thoreau. I still refer to this, you know, the autobiography of karl young, like it's, it's like, i guess i didn't realize that i was laying bricks, that i'm still living in the same house. I can still see those brooks bricks. They're at the bottom of the wall, right? The wall's gone up quite a bit since there, but that's still the bottom of the wall i live in. It's still there. It's, it's, it's ages likea cumulative thing, right? It's not, it's not change. Its edition. I think it's whone i'm jorin s here.

And before it'd probably be more in our thoughts and the stories we tell with the people we know we can connect with over a camp fire or coffee or beer, whatever. But more and more, it's like literal documentation, in your terms, journal with words. And for me, it's vidia. And i would say there more data packed into video than journal. And it's always interesting when i hear people who have like, books and books of, like, i think even tim ferris talks about how he has an entire library just with note books, and he can go back and find it. But i just feel like that's so much work to archive and catalogue all that information. I'd rather do the hard work of putting it into, you know, this trip in one photo, this trip in one one minute video, or this entire year summed up into three minutes. I tink that's so much more easy and useful to consume after the fact. But it's all kind of the same thing. It's all just the raw data stream of our experience, just distilled and edited and, you know, in dense formats in different ways.

Ye. Another thing that i about a lot when i watch your your material, is that you are a creature of this world, of this moment in history, much more than i am. I feel like i live in your world. And i see your comfort, for example, with social media, your comfort with various forms of technology that are relatively new.

Am,

and you just even your comfort, a, i don't know, again, you know, i know i'm projecting on to you because i don't know you personally at all, so please pardon me for doing that. We're getting to know each other. Am, but like even the way you interact with other people, like, i was watching the the akilamanjaro video. Am, yes, yes, that was. That was interesting. And i'm really glad that you, a chose to frame that the way you did, you knowry sort of like, hey, this is, i guess what i'm trying to say is, like, i think a lot of what i the reason i really enjoy your stuff is that it's both a very clearly crafted, but there's something extremely vulnerable and a sincere. And that's really hard to do. You know, when you're sitting in a cafe by yourself, writing in a journal, it's easy to be sincere. Nobody's seeing it except you. You're writing to some imaginary figure. That you imagine 30 years from now is going to look back and read this. Maybe no one w'll ever read it. You're alone. You're in the darkness. It's easy to be naked in the darkness. But you manage to be pretty naked with the wareness that you've got an audience of i mean, some of your vidios are over a million views, i think. And yet you maintain a very, kind of a zen like sincerity and vulnerability in that. Is that something you struggled to achieve, or is that just your nature as a person?
