the jurogan experience uh you've talked about the china curfew thing with kids playing a game yes that's a this is an issue oh is it they have like they use their parents or someone else in their family to face scan their device so then they can use their device i don't know exactly how they're doing it sweeping new facial scans will catch chinese kids playing past curfew oh whoa this this is even from july oh so that means they're scanning kids without their knowledge like randomly well that's to make sure they're not playing but then the kids know that's happening so then there's to make sure they're not that kind of crazy government overreach is so bizarre do you hear about the app they're giving people in beijing for the olympics yeah they're giving them this app to use during the olympics but this app is listening to every [ __ ] thing you say everything you do it's like total spyware do you think that the us government is doing that to us as well no chance our government is joe amazing who's the most honorable and honest man who's ever lived that's why he's the president because he's the best we have andy is he though yes are the two candidates that we got to choose from the best that our country has to offer i believe we're having this conversation yeah you've had it many times so i can i can avoid it but yes yeah of course our government is doing that maybe they're not as uh i don't know maybe they're better at hiding i i often worry though that people think that our government is maybe more altruistic than others yeah china might be scanning faces again you go back to the patriot act and the the loss of privacy are they maybe monitoring it real time i'm not sure i think our real problem is if people start saying the only way we can compete with china is if we have the same sort of restrictions on our citizens that china has if we have the same ability to monitor our citizens if we have the same ability to implement laws the way china does that's that could be a real problem because one of the things that china's
done it's so brilliant i'm not saying that we should do it but it is brilliant how they've got this connection between their business and their government that's inescapable you cannot make these big corporate decisions whether you're huawei or one of these big tech companies they work you know [ __ ] hand in glove with the government and because of that they make these they make these decisions not based on short-term interest of the corporation in terms of like stakeholders and you know what the shareholders want and yeah profits for the quarter they're they're looking at it in this long-term commitment like what's going to be best for the party economically i mean i guess i can understand that i worry a lot about quality of life oh and listen no doubt about it that's the number one problem the quality of life is terrible like we have you ever been no oh i've been to taiwan uh but not for a long period of time i've been there during a stopover i've never been there for any long period of time i was there for about eight days it was interesting i went and visited um again when i was working for crossfit i was kind of the go-between between crossfit and reebok so i went to go see where they made the shoes um down in fujo china and uh it's pretty i mean it's wild it's different um from the construction the density uh air air quality perceived air quality obviously didn't have a sensor out there but perceived water quality working conditions working hours it's i think there's a cost to having the companies and the government tied like that there's no doubt yeah i don't recommend that at all for the united states it's terrible in terms of creativity and innovation and the ability to like have a dream and an idea and implement it and then become successful one of the things that we love about america is entrepreneurial spirit we love the fact that someone can like like origin we're talking about jacob's company or or anything else like someone can create a company and make something and put it together and you know that's one of the things that's beautiful about freedom is you have the
ability to take a chance to do something that you you have a dream you can put it together and make it happen that's we all love that and when you take that away take away people's ability to take a chance and take people's take away people's ability to do what they want instead you have to do what the government wants as soon as you do that you you close the door on so much innovation you close the door on so many opportunities that you would have never predicted right because who knows how many ideas that have been implemented here because people have this wild spirit of like being creative and taking chance chances would have never happened if the same person grew up under a regime like the ccp i do worry though that people are becoming resistant to taking chances and being risky like that or getting off of the couch if you want to describe it that way so they'll value that less and the incremental if you again you want to put the tinfoil hat on the incremental removing of those opportunities or ability to make those decisions they won't even realize what is lost because they don't value it because they never actually took a [ __ ] chance there's going to be people like that for sure but people like that that don't take chances they open up room for people that do take chances i don't think many people take chances i think there's enough i think there's enough but i think they're in the minority i think talking about it like this and having conversations with people who do take chances makes take taking chances exciting to the people that are listening i think part of the problem is they don't have enough to model there's not enough people out there that are taking chances where someone could model that and go that's what i want to do that's what i want to be you know because that's like it's like who you're modeling like if you if you grew up in a family where no one takes any chances and everybody just takes the safest easiest job they can have with the you know the least amount of risk and the most amount of security and
and then they live this dull gray life like blah forever you you model that if that's what you're around and or you rebel and you rebel and you take a wild chance and in a lot of families if you try to take a chance your parents will be pissed at you i mean you know there's so many people out there that are hindered and then they're saddled down by the the problem of their own family having expectations on them you're supposed to be a lawyer you're supposed to be of this you're supposed to you know there's a lot of people like that out there that just the model that they copy is a model of like safety and where no one's no one's doing anything risky freedom is an amazing thing i think it's the most valuable thing that this country may have to offer but it doesn't mean a [ __ ] thing if you don't take advantage of it yeah you
