"Joe hill Toni, Homer Yankee Stadium on Tuesday, 100 years to the day Babe Ruth hit the first home run at the original ballpark in The Bronx. Otani turned on an 88.7 mph sweeper from Clark Schmidt and had a 116.7 mph drive that landed in the Yankees bullpen in right center, 391 feet from home plate. It was Otani's fourth home run of the season and 8th and 18 games against the Yankees. On April 18th, 1923, Ruth kept a four run third inning with a three run Homer off Boston's Howard M key in New York's four one win over the Red Sox. I'm geffen coolbaugh.

"I'm with you. Anyway, it's a funny movement that you make with your tongue. But we have to go back to Germanic for this one. And it's actually kith is related to kuth. And kuth nowadays used to mean polite and courteous and if your uncles, you're the opposite. That actually meant also knowledge, really. And that was the original sense of kiss as well. It was knowledge. It was something innate, and so it also could apply to your native land, something that you were indigenous to. And of course, in your native land, you have your Friends and your neighbors. And the phrase kitten kin, where your country and your relatives. So the king were the relatives and the kiss was your native land, but then later the two merged, so your kip and kin are one in the same your Friends and your relatives, I suppose. But kin there is also behind king as well, weirdly, because the first kings were the chiefs of Anglo Saxon tribes, the invading angles and the invading saxons and they were the heads of those small tribes. So kin gave us quite a lot. But yeah, kids is a linguistic fossil. It doesn't exist in any other way other than in that phrase kitten kid. Speaking of linguistic fossils, you do keep a collection almost of fossils. These are lovely words that you feel have lost their currency and that you'd like to revive. What is in your trio of interesting words for today? Okay, so I like this one from the 17th century, all right, is a fossil this one. You'll find it nearly D, a gut, gut ling, and Gus is at the heart of this. And it means a great eater or a glutton. So from 1632, there's a sermon that says the poets made themselves bitterly merry with discounting upon the fat punches of these lazy gatlings. So never complementary that one. Also from the OED, it sounds so modern this one.

"So just the choice of blue, obviously this is all about blue eyes, but just all the various interpretations of that color and what it means. I think it's quite interesting too. Well, you're sending me to my bookshelf to actually take down the copy of this book I've had for 40 years and haven't read, but I'm going to read it now. The bluest eye, 1970, and I know I think on my shelves, I've also got another book by her called Paradise and one called love. I've not read any of these. I've only read the poetry, so I was now to try to write and read the novels. Can I just give you a quote from the final page of the bluest eye? Please. Which lovely night actually has helped us with Tony Morrison inside out and she's just happy to select some here. And this is just a truth. Love is never any better than the lover, wicked people love wickedly, violent people are violently weak people love weekly, stupid people love stupidly, but the love of a free man is never safe. There is no gift for the beloved. The lover alone possesses his gift of love. The loved one is shown neutralized frozen in the glare of the lovers inward eye. So that idea that actually receiving love actually, it's almost brings a long stasis. You can't budge from that idealized view of yourself. And do you remember actually when I think this is Sylvia Plath was saying very much the same thing when we read one of her poems that the male gaze particularly is unwavering and if there is an idealized few of you, it'll stay there, but actually that's horrible because it means you can't grow. So I really like the idea that the person who's being loved, it's not there as a gift. It's the lover alone that possesses the gift of love and who has that freedom. Good. Well, very intriguing.

"Welcome back, this is a special edition of something rhymes with purple because we are devoting it to one author. We've done that occasionally. And this today we're talking about Tony Morrison. I don't think that was her original name. Was it? I think that's a nom de plume. I think a real name was Chloe Antony wofford. When she was 12, Chloe joined the room Catholic Church, and she took us her baptismal name, Antony, people did this. It would take her even if you were a girl. You would take a male saint's name. So you could be called saint Michael's and Martin saint Anthony. But she then became known as Chloe Antony wofford. And she changed it to Tony when she was at university because apparently people really struggled to pronounce Chloe. So she then and she married Howard Morrison hence the Morrison bit. But yeah, Chloe was changed to Tony. Yeah. Yes. When I met her, the reason I met her was because I was being looked after during my gap year, and then when I went back and stayed with the same family. By really wonderful American academics. That's how I was lucky enough to meet and not that I knew she was anybody of significance because she at that stage hadn't made her reputation. But she was noted then because it was so unusual to find a black editor at a leading publishing house. And actually what was brilliant about Morrison as well is that she was totally unapologetic about her choice of subject. And she said very clearly, I'm writing for black people. In the same way that Tolstoy was not writing for me, a 14 year old colored girl from Lorraine, Ohio. I don't have to apologize or consider myself limited because I don't write about white people. Which is not absolutely true. She said there are lots of white people in my books, but the point is not having the white critics sit on your shoulder and to prove it. That is very interesting. To me, is universal. Poetry, like the one we've just read, rings true to everybody, whatever your background color or story. But the first book, her first book, the bluest eye, it's a novel that is very much part of her childhood, isn't it? What is the essence of the story? Yeah, it's all well, it's all about wanting to fit in and I think is a black woman feeling like you don't. And she, she said, in a forward to it, that she wanted to focus on how something is grotesque is the demonization of an entire race could take root inside the most delicate member of society, a child, the most vulnerable member, a female. And it's all about black girl who longs to have blue eyes. And is obsessed by white standards of beauty. And I remember when I was looking at the vocabulary of beauty and cosmetics, particularly in the middle of the 20th century, and there were so many products on sale for skin whitening as well. In a part of that same sort of desire. That desire to look a certain way because you didn't want to look the way that you looked and of course that's so central to say adolescents in so many different ways, but particularly as a teenage black girl, really. So it takes place in the 1940s this novel in Ohio.

"And it's a fable, essentially, about a blind woman who is visited by a group of young people, who almost tauntingly say to her, we have a bird in our hand, tell us, is it alive or dead? And it is all her contemplations on the life of language, the uses of language, whether it can fly, whether it's absolutely perfect, whether it can elucidate or cloud, I mean touch of all while there with a compress and liberate, whether it can honor people or whether it can actually undermine them. And it's all about the human experience and how we have this amazing tool available to us that can make any expression of it so magical, but also so dangerous, really. And she quotes Abraham Lincoln in it and his Gettysburg address is an example. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. And what Morrison explains is that trying to sum up the pain felt that from the Civil War. Is just impossible. And so instead, Abraham Lincoln has focused on the impossibility of capturing that and kind of talks about how it's going to linger in our memory and do we need to articulate it or will it kind of persist in a more sort of profound way. And then she says and listen to this, this is just perfect. We die Morrison says, that may be the meaning of life, but we do language. That may be the measure of our lives. Oh, it just gives me goosebumps really. Because it sums up also, what do you and I, in a way, believe, that the language is the words that will last. When the life is gone, think of William Shakespeare, this is the 400 anniversary of the publication of his plays, all his plays in that first failure over the first time. Whatever happened then, they're still there. Yeah. And listen to this. This is a this for me is just such a lovely demonstration of how Morrison used this language and you'll find this gift, this a perfect gift throughout her novels as well. So again, she's talking about language. Language can never pin down slavery, genocide, war, nor should it yearn for the arrogance to be able to do so. It's force it's felicity is in its reach towards the ineffable. Be it grand or slender, burrowing, blasting, or refusing to sanctify, whether it laughs out loud or is a cry without an alphabet. The choice word, the chosen silence, unmolested language surges towards knowledge, not its destruction. But who does not know of literature banned because it is interrogative, discredited because it is critical, erased because alternate and how many are outraged by the thought of a self ravaged tongue. Word work is sublime because it is generative. It makes meaning that secures our difference, our human difference, the way in which we are like no other life. Oh, and so it goes on. Honestly, it is so worth reading the whole fable. And it's almost like a riddle that this woman is presented with. And she gives a really oblique answer back and then sort of unpacks it.

"On your skin, a breath caresses the salt, your eyes have shed. And you remember a call clear, so clear you will never die again. Once more you know, you will never die again. If peaceful, isn't it? And actually listening to you read it there. I realized that almost a double meaning that the poem has in some areas because silence needs your fear, obviously as you're speaking that out loud, I think I would interpret that as silence requiring your fear. Yeah, exactly. But it's needing as a kneading dough, and it came in the 80s. Yes. And that, for me, has particular resonance because it's all about, you know, someone leans in and sees the fact that you've been crying. And you long to hear the words of reassurance and you long to hear someone sort of say, look, theological be rational. This is going to be okay to lull you towards the hollow day. But silence, there's silence, and it needs your fear as if it's kind of, you know, just molding it and manipulating it and doing nothing to sort of lay it. It's just giving it different shapes. So the kneading I've always read that way, but actually, it's interesting to read it the other way as well. Why does it speak to you? Well, just I think for those very reasons, which is that, you know, for sorrow and for melancholy that some people need almost a companion in their melancholy. So they need someone to come in and sit with them and accept that melancholy and say I'm very sorry, but not do anything to fix it. Whereas I am very much a person that wants to go right in and say, it'll be okay. And I'm going to make it okay. So there are fixes in life. And I think for me what really struck me was this you wait longing to hear the words of reason love or play.

"It's really fun to have mother nature come and take advantage of the gifts that you give them in the garden. Yeah. Very cool. What's your future plans for your garden? About a year ago, I became a member of the local master gardener chapter, their fire smart landscaping committee. While the West Coast is just been inundated with fires, started really bad in 2015. Each year it tends to get worse. Fires are more intense and more destructive. Join this committee to learn about it myself with the hope that I could start teaching it as well. The cynicism that comes from people, their eyes plays over and they go, yeah, fire smart landscape, you know? Right. You can't tell me there's anything I can do in my garden. It's going to stop a wildfire coming through. To some extent, that's true. But what you can do if it's a massive fire, just learn your evacuation route and get out of Dodge, right? But if there's a fire, even a couple of miles away. If you realize that 60 to 70% of the homes that were lost in fires were lost from burning from the inside out and you're going to save what do you mean by that? Here's the deal. If there's a fire, a couple of miles away, you probably don't have to be so worried that a fire will break out and spread to your area. It's not so much the direct contact. It's not so much the heat. It's the embers that can fly for miles and come into your home through anak vents or foundation vents. That's called hardening your home when you replace those vents with vents that are no more than an 8th of an inch. That has proven that embers can't get in to burn your house from the inside out. Additionally, we try to tell people, keep your gutters free of leaves. We've added gutter guards on all of ours.

"Yeah, or the neighbors have a barbecue. I hear you. You're not going to win any friends. We're in the summer. Well, tell us a funny garden story. Flashback to gosh, it must have been 20 years ago now where we decided to take up our lawn. That was probably one of the first droughts that we had. And it was pretty serious. We had just bought this house and there was a lawn, but it was never a very pretty anyway. We took it up and this is when we started putting in that winding flagstone path. Some friends came over to help us. Here's four of us trying to put in a length that was probably what, 30 feet long, in about 5 feet wide, to a while is tired as we were, we'd say, okay, Tim, we need a stone, the shape of Kentucky. So go look at all the stones that we've got standing up against all the walls and the hedges. Find something that looks like Kentucky. And you know it worked. I mean, laughter helped us through that. It really helped us. I mean, at one point, Tim looked at me and said, I can't find Kentucky, but I got a great Ohio over here. Anytime you need it, you know? Finding laughter through the work that got us through it and that in a few beers afterwards really helped. Yeah. What's your most valuable garden mistake? I told you about the first raised bed that I put in that was ten inches off the ground. Well, the first elevated raised bed that I purchased in place of that raised bed that was on the ground. I didn't think anything of it. I cleared an area put it down a situated started adding the soil to it. Then a couple of months, that puppy had sunk about 6 or 7 inches. Learned for the future elevated raised beds that first you put a good stone block or brick, then you're not going to have that shrinkage down into the soil. I learned that the hard way and every time I go out there and I have to bend over to tend that elevated raised bed I'm like, do I take it all the soil out and start over and it's like, oh, I don't know if I want to do that. We just kind of accept what we have and go forward. So the legs were just literally sinking into your existence soul. Yep. Good tip. Good tip. Plan ahead. I would like for you to complete this statement in my garden, I have. In my garden, I have adapted it for our own comfort and ease. We have one, two, three, four elevated raised beds, a pergola, arbors, trellises, window boxes, wall planters, and maybe two dozen containers, all designed to be able to help us to garden with ease.

If you're a fan of using of like black creators using alternative genres to like tell. The stories of african americans the show atlanta by donald. Glover on hulu is a really good and really weird.

I'm a big fan of all of work. He's just kind of always in this other dimension in just he's never quite there and he'll say these things on you're just like what and the plot is very surrealist.

That beloved is actually the first part in what is referred to as a trilogy. the characters don't continue at similar themes so i'm intrigued. How it got dubbed the trilogy. If that was morrison's doing or publishers but the two books that came after beloved where jazz and paradise. So if you're looking to continue in this very similar vein stick with those and then otherwise We've talked on the podcast before about friday black. It's a short story collection by nana kwami agyei brenna which uses horror to talk about the black experience in america. And oh off time ahead. I just remembered her body in other parties.

Okay they're not actively being haunted anymore. The immediate threat is gone. They can continue kind of living their lives. Sort of you know. There's some hope for denver. At least you know but at the same time they're still haunted they're just not actively remembering it every second of the day which was kind of what beloved represented. I think so. It's you know it's still creepy in the sense that like were all haunted by those unnamed. People that have been forgotten but that was my feeling at the end. I do like what you said about it.

But you don't know what you're looking at. I think that's kind of what's unsettling. I think a horror film or even movies that aren't supposed to be horror but put me on edge when you get a shot of someone you don't like you only see from their views so you don't know who's behind you or you see the person walk into a space that you can't see the space and you're like ready for someone to jump out like the conscious effort to leave things out can make things really unsettling because you not sure way or at or what's happening exactly. Yeah the beloved is just incredibly unsettling character and you're never quite sure whether she's physically there are not you're like is everyone here just losing their minds or she physically there. And how corporeal is she the whole time you know like even her spirit is. There are the only one who can see her like. It's really kind of have to believe that. She's a physical person. But the whole time you're doubting yourself another aspect of it that makes it not feel very real is. The the spirituality of the book is obviously.

When warm weather came baby suggs holy followed by every black man woman and child who could make it through took her great heart to the clearing a wide open place cut deep in the woods. Nobody knew for what at the end of the path known only to deer and whoever cleared the land in the first place in the heat of every saturday afternoon she sat in the clearing while the people waited among the trees after situating herself on a huge flat sided rock baby suggs bowed her head and pray silently. The company watched her from the trees. They knew she was ready when she put her stick down then she sat shouted let the children come and they ran from the trees toward her. Let your mother's here you laugh. She told them and the woods rang. The adults looked on could not help smiling. Then let the grown men. Come she shouted.

It was tough enough walking up to complete strangers in full combat gear and trying to get them to tell you about their love stories Doing that in a mask is much worse. So we can travel. And we can't travel because we couldn't stay anywhere stay anywhere. A lot of the different municipalities and states and district south different restrictions and safe. So i put the kabosh on the last. The last road work we did was in two thousand nineteen yet and won't be doing any well. We don't know about this year. Well if waiting if we get some production support we may be out late all and try to do the like the desert southwest in somewhere that we can actually be writing in september and october. Which isn't even the bikes back up here in october. My some so yeah no. It's affected just because so much of what we do has to be face to face. People will open up to you. I mean it's hard to meet somebody on zoom unless you've already connected with them before is so go touch stranger. They're not going to make a link in eating everything late and a lot of people. And i'm one of them if i don't know you i'm not clicking. That line is now. We are recovery because we both caught it still recovering recovery from it. Kind of put the kibosh on our work for a while too. And she's got delana along highland haulers. She's got lingering symptoms that are continuing on the gift that keeps on giving by the time we hit the road again. No she'll be totally recovered out. So i can't ride if i'm dizzy and i'm not writing on the back anymore. So okay so before asking my final question that i ask everyone. I'm just curious to know. Love is exceptional because every rule has an exception. But what is your most common rule. I should say the rule that you found the most important relationships. I still have to come back to to respect. Because if you don't respect somebody it's really hard to love them. I obviously taking away like family members because love is then the emotion and almost the obligation that you love like crazy uncle joe But you may not want to sit down and have coffee with the guy so In a chosen situation. I think respect is a huge piece of it. You're not going to say that are you but wasn't worms and okay go for it. See i never know what he's gonna say forty years. I never know what you're gonna say without going through the entire piece one of the pieces that are up to the writing the book or book tales. From the heart of america's gonna come out probably next year a written piece on. Why believe we've heard the term before of And i think it works in the inverse as well love. Love is god and a and a road a piece about. Why justify that without getting all metaphysical and stuff but i think part of the character of god or how we react if we actually saw god would be a sense of all sense of wonder of. Oh my gosh. Look at this enormous god and i think that or for out okay for i think for love if love is god we should react to love the same way. So if i if i had to say here's your role for love. Don't lose your sense of wonder. Love is the thing that binds together. It's you know martin. Luther king said when i talk about love. I'm not talking about emotional bausch and talking about the universal guiding principle of called it i can't remember the exact term but the hindi islam christian judeo principle that that binds us all together. Say that is awesome so each time you know the kids that i ta our kids each other the dogs what we do each time. I find myself having that sense of gratitude i found. It's it's based in awe. That sense of wonder of look at this thing we're capable of doing and experiencing in having and if you don't lose that sense of wonder you can't stop loving any love that slow okay so for our final question. How would you describe an extraordinary relationship without using these three words. Love connection and for you wanna put in exceptional. That's funny 'cause we asked the same question of people question. What one of the questions we always ask couples is if you had to tell the other person that you love them without using the word love how you say would you say. How would you answer that question to for yourselves. That is so funny Honestly on she said that about the all that was kind of there. There is your wake up in the middle of the night. And he's there. And i all i can think is. Oh my gosh. How lucky am i to be in this place. How at blessed for lack of a better word. Can i be i. It's hard because sometimes it's just how you see things you know. My whole family is completely freaked out. Especially now that. I'm a long haul and when i got colin and all i could think is so lucky i could have been. I've i've had friends that have passed away. I've had i was so and they're going. You were lucky and went. It could have been worse motorcycle. Accidents could have been worse. So part of it. I think it's just i feel. I think that people in relationships of an excellent relationship is i'm gonna steal years retaining that. Aw an under understood having that gratitude of not an. I hate that will. It could be worse. Look good That doesn't mean you're not seeing you from the could be worse part but like i'm so lucky it was the this was only this. It wasn't that bad. it was so good. I can't answer your question without breaking the rule because again the time exceptions that you can answer the wrong. The english teacher in me. I also taught history for a time. And i think back to descartes's line when he was trying to prove his he said if we're going to doubt everything That makes everything meaningless. We have to find the one thing that cannot be doubted. Otherwise everything's unreal. And that's where he thought he. I posited the idea of. I think therefore i am meaning. I have thought. So if i'm being deceived. If you know the doubles training to get an. He was deeply religious catholic. Is that even if the devil's trying to deceive me. That i exist the fact that i can think that groups that i really do so. That's the one thing that he decided couldn't be doubted. I think therefore. I am. But i think he was off because love defines who we are as human beings so if i say the one thing that defines us is i love therefore i am. It's why he's the writer and this is why everyone talks to her. And people like deeper conversations. Talk to your. Maybe they start with tony and later. Right the appetizer. He's the main course one on one and then i'm desert again. Solid say net. Okay well thank you so much scott. Donate this was amazing. I really enjoyed your invitation. Any opportunity to talk to a fellow human being loud is right up our allies. Thanks for the chance they did. You enjoy that episode. Could tell me a personal favor. And scribe and leave her view.

I i met scott when he walked in as the teacher's aide. When i was in seventh grade sex ed class and he was a ninth grader. Yeah and he didn't know. I existed until i was in high school and at the time i was dating a mutual friend. An older friend and scott asked me out and actually took me home on his motorcycle. Every mean much to her father's delighted with my guitar and his daughter on the back seat on my bike and at the time his hair was longer than mine yet. Dad went yeah. That's a keeper ensure within that i was a student assistant for sex. Now that would have been that would have been right there so yeah. He took me out that night he told me was falling in love with me kim. The buffet movie with me. How could i not how could you. How could you not fall in love with somebody that in your senior year of high school. They take you to the muppet movie on a saturday night. Really and then now. Yeah just kind of went from there. There's a lot more in between over four years now. Yeah well oh yes since since dating. Yeah been over forty years now. Wow and how many years married thirty three so thirty as enjoy thirty july. Oh okay so been married for so long. You wanna start by Start telling us a little bit about your object of traveling. The us her really let you take those forty years. We've been together. We've had a pretty eclectic background. We've worked in the music business together. We were renaissance festival performers for years. We've we've done just about everything together. And especially as our years have shall we say advanced people increasingly. We're asking us. You know what's your secret. As if there's this big secret that you can impart to baller that you possess that no one else does that. You can make their lives. You know have meaning and purpose and laws favorites telling might tell you. But i'd have to kill the scare anybody off but you know. Obviously we don't have that answer because everybody chooses their own maps in their own throughout their life but amazingly different indictor love is exceptional. One of the things we've discovered. Maybe we can talk about us. We go but Since we didn't have that answer we kind of figured new would though We've had a shared love of motorcycle. Touring for many years and we decided to hit the road and talked to as many different diverse couples from different communities places cultures accurate around the us as we could with an eye on writing a book about all these you know we were looking for the capital g. Great love story and discovered that not only. Was that a little pretentious naive. That was also missing something really profound. And that's you know there are some capital g great love stories out there but the country's filled with lower case great love and it wasn't just loves. Couples loves not just relationships. It was people's loves of the places where they grew up their hometowns. The the communities the cultures that they're part of the art forms they pursue dogs. Just big for us. Y'all all these loves tied together and we also discovered that there's a profound loneliness. Ross american people were just as interested just as curious to hear one another stories and to find out make sure everybody else was okay and that love was out there and they were just as eager to do that as they were. Tell their own stories and so our project kind of evolved from writing a book about the capital g great love stories and couples around the us to really frankly trying to reunite people and reconnect them through one. Basic universal premise. And that's that we all love. We all love something or someone or somewhere and if we can start with that just that simple knowledge that connects us all the other desperately necessary conversations. We have to have in. This country can happen. It'll be a lot easier because we start. We don't start with contentious questions like who did you vote for. What race are you in. Who's a better cook now. I'm a better cook. You only saying that because you're cooking. Yeah actually and we get into. We interviewed a barbershop. Quartet on college. In lexington kentucky kentucky inns chorus and they had the most profound thing as one of the quartet's was joking around with each other. We asked them how do you. How do you guys get along. How do you make this work. Every different group of an tim one of one of the singers at ten or i think told us he said you know when people come in here are only interested with them as to sing. That's the one thing we have. We have this one thing in common. We don't care about your life story or anything else about you. We want to sing together. A said once that happens then from there you start building friendships and getting to know people and after that it's too leads to take over for barbecue and they start saying something that goes completely out of your round Love him limited out that they have some unusual political view or they don't like the ban that you like. It isn't an automatic dispatching mama talking to you anymore. It's this incredulous. Hell could you think that. I won't understand a want to. Yeah and we need to get back in this country to wanting to understand one another Yet yeah that's for sure. So you're saying that we all have this thing law in that the one mutual thing that we all have now. If we meet a stranger who ever that is whatever their background. The first thing you'd wanna do obviously with that mindset. I everybody loves but are you suggesting that to find something in common with them right away before anything else. Yes and now. I think a lot of that for what we do. Yes because that's our first question. Tell us what you love. I mean you have somebody that question. I don't care what backgrounds you guys are from. I don't care how diverse it is. They they're like oh and they'll start talking because everybody loves talking about what they love or most. Everybody have you met. Someone doesn't know not yet. We have met a couple of people that were Didn't want to discuss it on camera. Yes that we can't because they weren't comfortable talking on camera But other than that no people love to talk about what they love when you meet someone like at a park usually. There's little things like we've done this when we when we're looking for interviews and we're in we're in a park or something and you don't just wander up to some complete stranger buyers. Hey tell us you'll have to ask the little so we'll do things like because we love dogs. I joked about that. But i can't tell you how many good interviews gotten by talking to people about their dogs. Is we have dogs of our own so we we always go with showing pictures. We have kids no way. He called. That.

Paul Tudor Jones on Bitcoin and the Future of Digital Currency
"Can we talked about inflation for sec at. I know you're you wrote this letter back in. May and i will promise it. I know you're not a flagbearer for bitcoin. By any means but you did have a fascinating thesis would love to kind of get an update on that especially at current levels and higher thinking about the crypto currency in the context of your portfolio. I'm on an expert. On bitcoin by any stretch is just what the market cap of five hundred billion. It's it's the wrong market cap in a world where you've got ninety dollars worth of equity market cap and got us how many trillions of fiat currency et cetera. So it's the wrong market cap for instance relative to goal which is eight or nine trillion. The bitcoin reminds me so much of the internet stocks. Nine hundred ninety nine because the internet was in its infants infancy. No one knew how to value it because of the world possibility that lay ahead. Would you can be certain of. Is that probably twenty years from now. our kids and grandkids would our all of us will be using some type of digital currency digital currency will be Will be used by every sovereign. They may have their own digital currency. Whatever they'll be very very very commonplace at that point in time cash may be gone and so in that world. Where does bitcoin finian As well as some of the other cryptocurrencies. Where does it theory him. Or tattered i kind of i. I don't know i'm not smart enough to figure that out. I think The bitcoin if i if i really had to kind of guess what the future's going to be it's going to be a lot like the metals complex where you have precious cryptovest might be bitcoin. It's the first crypto first-mover world that so compressed it has that historical integrity within digital currencies. That it will always have so that might again because of its fight supply. That might be the precious crypto. Then you're gonna have transactional cryptocurrencies along with the britain's and they may be more like the industrial industrial metal. So where you have goals of precious metal you got copper platinum palladium and sarah that are industrial led aluminum industrial metals. You may have precious crip. Toni may have industrial crypto. So what i do know is that it's no way passable today to know what the next ten or twenty years you're going to be like and i know that if i was if i had again taken position on i'm gonna i'm gonna take the brand name. Which is bitcoin. I'm going to assume that it's the wrong prize for the possibilities that it has And i'm going to assume that the path forward from here is north and again we had no idea in nine hundred and had a had a how the internet was gonna sort out and there were some companies that obviously do phone nine nine. Despite the crash came that did just incredibly well and ended up becoming dominant players in the world. That's what's going to my guess is that's what we're going to sort through that kind of crazy competition winners. Losers at cetera in the digital

Thanks daniel think we might start off with you know so in about two thousand and one is when you you got sick. I believe in and seems. Then you've found inspiration in buddhist teachings and practices for learning how to be sick and we're gonna get into that in detail. But i wondering if you could tell us a little bit about how you initially came across these teachings and actresses okay. Well it was an about ten years before. I got sick so approaching thirty years. This may is nineteen year of my suffering from chronic ghana's so when i was in my early twenties i developed some interest in spiritual matters a lot of alan watts. I got my mantra from the maharishi. And then my husband. And i raised kids. All of that was put aside and when they Either late high school or had left home. When i had my wartime to myself. I started Looking back into spiritual practices and maybe only academic would do this. I bought like six copies of the dow teaching. Maybe five and i read the same verse in each one and then wrote my on verse based on my understanding of those translations and i have no idea were any of that is but it's relevant because one of the translations was by stephen mitchell and i found myself it was a great translation but i've found myself really interested in the footnotes because he can't there may have been some other people but he noted several times quoted this Somebody called master sung son. Who i subsequently learned was a korean zen master who when he first arrived in the states. I was fixing washing machines but then developed a Songa in providence rhode island and now is worldwide. His quantum school is in. And i just love the the quote senate came across one that that said no south. No problem i thought whoa. Whoa sounds no problem. I didn't know what it meant. But i also note was jam. He fascinated me so much. These footnotes that i went to the library at uc davis campus shields library and it went to the card catalogue and looked up sung sun and discovered that in the dr day basement of shields library were rows and rows of buddhist books and i found his dropping ashes on the buddha but i found a treasure trove and i started leading mostly tree traditions zen tibetan and tear baden. I couldn't get enough. Just taking him out piles and That's how i. I learned a lot about the buddhist teachings but i thought what am i supposed to do and so i wrote just stephen mitchell and i don't remember what i said but i remember what he wrote back to me. He said looking at an painting of an orange is not the same as eating orange. And then he recommended to possible dharma centers that i could go to from. I live in davis which is near sacramento so that central valley and they were both in marin county bay. Area was john. Toronto sonoma's zen center. I think and the other one was called spirit rock meditation center and he recommended jack cornfield and i don't remember why i chose that have no. I've just been thinking. How did i get there.
