Homeless Guy in the bush: Just wants to work [2023-07-30]

[iSpoogeDaily]

Description

Popular culture has programming that prevents most people from believing that a homeless guy in the bush wants to work. Maybe he's just recording a video for his YouTube channel.

* Nobody wants to work
* Homeless people choose to live on the street
* People in the bushes are doing something weird
* If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, ___
* Occam's Razor: the simples explanation is probably true.

These programs means we often "can't judge a book by its cover" when it comes to homeless people. Worse, these can be leveraged by an abusive narcissist running a smear campaign.

Really a homeless person is a bootstrapping entrepreneur if they aren't a professional leech which indeed do exist as well. The timeline an economics to get off the street are about the same as to launch a profitable business, if not a little longer due to the lack of resources like savings that people usually have before they start a business.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,040
Hey, welcome to the channel.

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:13,840
So crawled into the bush to find a good filming spot and what happens, I'm here for how

3
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:23,960
long and as soon as I hit record some people start crawling behind me, go figure it.

4
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:34,200
So, you know, brakes concentration, if you can hear in the background, there's flowing

5
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:42,080
water just down the hill, there's birds, it's a nice naturey spot, good spot to do some

6
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:47,400
meditation and meditation doesn't have to be any kind of religious practice or anything

7
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:48,400
like that.

8
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:56,160
It's literally just, you know, whatever you want to do with your own thoughts, you know,

9
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:04,560
everyone has a different definition of meditation, but being in a spot with lots of natural

10
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:11,960
colors and shapes, sunshine, everything like that is a, if you're there, there's a good

11
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:14,960
chance you're doing some kind of meditation.

12
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:18,960
So, of course, in the bush, what else do you get?

13
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:26,000
You get people running into the bush to smoke and things like that and, you know, various

14
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,000
substances.

15
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,200
First thing I smelled when I came into the bush was one substance and now I smell

16
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:38,200
some other substance and this kind of ties into what I'm talking about in the video today.

17
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:45,960
So I had a few ideas, I like to tie things together, this is a experimental sort of

18
00:01:45,960 --> 00:01:55,960
be-side channel where the format isn't consistent, the posting schedule isn't consistent.

19
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:01,320
Sometimes it is just if I'm trying to be consistent with something, but overall the channel

20
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:13,040
is free for all anything goes and so, I'm just like, is there another person coming

21
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,040
by?

22
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:24,080
No, it's a birdie, maybe you guys saw it, a couple of sparrows up there, but there's like

23
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,240
five or six between five.

24
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,520
There was five and then there was six, the docks, I don't know where the six one came from,

25
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:36,120
just down there feeding and then of course there's this little kid who's trying to chase

26
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:41,160
them down and I might have been that kid when I was younger, but now I'm just like good

27
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:46,120
Lord felt like, recommending the kid myself in some ways.

28
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:53,080
I mean I did feel it, but I just knew that it wasn't, you know, it probably started

29
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:58,280
more of a problem with his dad and it would have been the right thing to do to protect

30
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:04,600
the docks, but at the same time the kid was like so skinny and just like uncoordinated

31
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,480
that I knew he would never actually get the docks, you know, it's one of those things

32
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:21,960
where you pick your battles, but anyway, what I was going to talk about, so there's two

33
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:33,080
really popular things right now, that applied to me, one is nobody wants to work and two homeless

34
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:42,280
people choose to stay on the street and I'm going to try to keep the video under the 20

35
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:51,320
minute mark, so just so you know what to expect here, it's already four minutes in just setting

36
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,200
up the context, blah, blah, blah, these things are unscripted, sometimes I go in with an idea or two,

37
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:08,360
but so no one wants to work and homeless people choose not to live in a shelter,

38
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:17,480
even given the option they say, so I've been in a shelter for about two months now and absolutely

39
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:25,800
no problem and it's been such a blessing, such a help and I would stay here, stay there indefinitely

40
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:41,720
until you know, I can afford to do otherwise in a productive situation, so my options for housing

41
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:48,840
are effectively unless I get really lucky coming out of the shelter to pay

42
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:57,640
pre-pay 30% of my income and probably end up in a group home situation,

43
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:05,400
which I'm basically in a group home or single room occupancy situation and for what it is, it's fine,

44
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:13,160
there are some really annoying parts of it, but you know, I can deal with it for the price,

45
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:24,680
which is $0, right? Now group home situation, it's going to be like $40 a week minimum

46
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:35,320
two to $400 a month depending on the place and that's effectively 30% of what I may

47
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:44,760
could be up to 600, a month for a spot, I don't know 100% how it works, but then I also have to

48
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:50,840
disclose three years of everywhere I've slept, all every job I've had, et cetera, et cetera,

49
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:57,480
so you know a little bit more intrusive than a regular apartment application, you know,

50
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:11,800
I haven't decided if I'm going to do that or not, and that is how, you know, so that's sort of the

51
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:17,160
homeless people choose to not stay in a shelter thing, is like that's the first hand perspective

52
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:25,400
that a lot of people don't know, it's like the options are, you know, pay a lot of money for an

53
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:33,080
upgrade situation, and it's actually not a ton better than staying on the street or staying in a car.

54
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:40,840
Now, at 4 to 600 a month, if I were just staying on the street, I could save up and buy a car

55
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:47,560
in two or three months. Now there's not the same amenities that one needs to keep a stable job,

56
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:55,000
so it's sort of a trade-off, right? And then getting into the no-one wants to work portion of this,

57
00:06:56,280 --> 00:07:04,040
does it seem like I don't want to work? Like, does it seem like I do really anything

58
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:10,040
I'm productive? Now granted, I'm not publishing enough lately since moving into the shelter

59
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:16,120
to make it clear, but if you go back five years on my channel, does it really seem like I'm

60
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:22,360
trying to not work? Does it really seem like I should be unemployed? No, it doesn't, so

61
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:29,240
I have my own circumstances that I've talked a lot about as to why I'm not professionally employed,

62
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:41,560
and like at the very simplest, if I got an investment of, you know, however much money I need to

63
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,640
have a stable living situation, which I have now, and to present myself well,

64
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:56,600
and to review the data structures and algorithms that I need to get an offer for a job in my

65
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:03,960
field, and to have some sort of legal representation to help with the defamation situation,

66
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:10,680
that messed up my background check, gave me a history of workplace violence, which is fraudulent

67
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:20,920
and false, I always have to say that. I be employable and happy to be working, and I think my

68
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:27,880
actions just doing independent work show that and corroborate that, but I don't have all of those

69
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:34,680
things that exactly the same time, right? So here I am in a homeless shelter working at a

70
00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:41,000
temp agency. I can really only work places who don't do background checks, like, even to apply

71
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:49,560
to dish washing jobs. That would be a small step up in income and stability. They pretty much

72
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:56,280
always want a background check, and the workplace violence thing is, you know, effectively,

73
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:04,120
why I can't work a job in my field, and really any study jobs. So my jobs are pretty much limited to

74
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:13,560
temp agency, and that's pretty much limited to, you know, $1,200 a month of income. If I stick to,

75
00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:18,200
basically, first shift, which just for my own health, I want to go to bed effectively.

76
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:24,600
At the same time, each night, have some predictability and part of my day. Like, I think that's

77
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:30,440
totally within reason to say, you know, even though I'm a homeless guy, I'm going to pick,

78
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,760
I'm going to work first shift. I'll be available for first shift six days a week.

79
00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:41,720
I think that's completely reasonable to not just say, I'll work any shift, any, you know, anything goes.

80
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:51,240
Now, if I were being paid, more money, then I could afford a better living situation.

81
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:57,800
So we've got this thing called, you know, basically we've got curfew at the place that I'm staying,

82
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:10,600
and for the price, $0, no arguments, right? So, you know, beyond that, there's what I said in the

83
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:16,040
last video of when you go to a play for a job, don't tell them you're homeless, because I promise

84
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:23,960
they won't give it to you. So, the more weird stuff you have to do, like, get written proof that

85
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:30,600
you are working and stuff like that, the more skeptical they're going to be about you overall.

86
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:39,160
Like, it gives you a little, it gives your credibility a little hit and so, you know,

87
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:49,160
they're slightly less likely to, you know, it's competitive out there like,

88
00:10:49,160 --> 00:11:01,400
contrary to nobody wants to work. Everyone who's working is pretty competitive. And so, if you're

89
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:08,280
slightly less competitive, then you're going to have a problem getting the extra shifts. Like,

90
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:15,000
if you've ever worked a service job and you know that if your stock price goes down,

91
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:22,520
you get fewer shifts, right? Like, the most competitive person on the team is the most liked,

92
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:28,520
they get the most shifts, et cetera, right? So, you might start off working close to 40 hours,

93
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:33,960
even getting over time sometimes. But as your stock price goes down for whatever reason,

94
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:39,400
you're lucky to get like 12 hours, right? That's effectively forcing you to quit in some sense,

95
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:49,320
like, because you're not making enough money to pay your rent, right? So, so yeah,

96
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:57,800
nobody wants to work, homeless people choose to stay on the street in opposite order as we've

97
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:06,920
talked about so far. And then crossing into, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's

98
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:14,360
probably a duck. Ockham's razor, the simplest explanation is probably the correct one, right?

99
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,960
So, like those ducks that are down there and that kid that was chasing them around, like,

100
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:31,160
you know, a lot of times you're a peaceful person and you're going by some animals in nature

101
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:38,760
and they completely avoid you. And it's because they don't know if I'm looking at a bird up there.

102
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,280
Now, suddenly the birds are coming around, as I say, animals run away from you, right?

103
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:48,760
Trying to make me look a fool, no. But yeah, so, you know, there's, there's always

104
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:58,120
like animals, basically, learn that people can be threatening and, yeah, they're coming

105
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,440
surprisingly close considering the fact that I'm actually talking and not being very quiet.

106
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:16,200
So, it's beautiful. Hey, birdies. And, see, yeah, I mean, the animals are usually right that

107
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:26,120
people are threatening, like a lot of low consciousness, low vibration, kids who, you know,

108
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,760
whose parents could do a better job raising them and I fall into that group myself when I was younger.

109
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:39,880
Before I sort of reparented myself and started making choices that kept my vibration higher

110
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:45,480
and things like that, like, you know, a lot of times animals get really comfortable around me.

111
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,920
But a lot of times that I'm just walking around, you know, I look just like any other person.

112
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:57,000
And so, of course, they're going to run away, right? So, can't be upset with the animals for that. They're

113
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:05,080
doing, they're doing what they know and also effectively, you know, for the most part of the

114
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:12,200
brain is a pattern recognition device. And so, if we're in automatic behavior, we are, you know,

115
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:18,520
following the programming that we acquire through experience, which is, people can be threatening,

116
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:29,960
run away. And the cost of dealing with, you know, the cost of getting a wrong guess is much higher than

117
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:36,600
the benefit of being able to come around and non-threatening person, right? Like, I think animals

118
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:43,000
get curious about us as much as we are curious about animals a lot of times. So, they may get like

119
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,880
some benefit from coming around a peaceful person, right? They're like, oh, hey, what's this big

120
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:54,280
thing, you know? And, you know, in a sense, it might kind of make their day in some ways, like the

121
00:14:54,280 --> 00:15:01,160
really smart and curious animals seem to enjoy people watching as much as we enjoy watching them, right?

122
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:07,880
You know, not everyone is experienced this, but if you know, you know, sort of thing. So,

123
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:18,440
so, how that relates to, you know, people choose not to work, or nobody wants to work,

124
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:24,600
homeless people choose to live on the streets, and then sort of like, if a homeless person is

125
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:30,600
in the bush, you know, they're probably in there to do something weird, like smoke some drugs or

126
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:37,480
whatever. Like, it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, you know, homeless guy in the

127
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:43,320
bushes, probably there to smoke some drugs, right? Now actually, I'm recording a video for a YouTube

128
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:53,320
channel, sir. What do you up to today? Oh, I'm just in here to smoke some drugs, even though I have

129
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:58,200
housing, I have a wife and kids, and I just have to come into the bushes to smoke some drugs.

130
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:06,440
So, okay, okay, so you're just projecting onto me that I'm out here to smoke some drugs,

131
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:12,600
then have a good day, sir. You know, projections and other topics that I hit on a lot,

132
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:21,880
but yeah, so it's like my old friends and my relatives who

133
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:30,120
used to maybe used to envy me, and then when I got into a vulnerable situation,

134
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:36,200
and I reached out to them for help, they saw that I was vulnerable. They knew it,

135
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:42,280
they knew that they could do something to hurt my reputation more. They're going to say things

136
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:48,200
that corroborate those projections, those looks like a duck quacks, like a duck sort of things, like,

137
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:53,640
you know, one of my old best friends from when I all the way back from when I was a kid,

138
00:16:55,080 --> 00:17:00,520
you know, he, he did something, which is just downright dirty,

139
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:07,080
which was try to create the image that I'm trying to scan him out of money, and that he tried to

140
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:13,400
hook me up with the job and housing, but I didn't have the balls to call him back, you know,

141
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:19,000
effectively putting that doesn't want to work stereotype, wants to live outside stereotype,

142
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:26,120
lazy bum, you know, all this homeless stereotypes on to me through what I feel was an extremely

143
00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:34,280
contrived, meaning sort of engineered, even of subconscious situation, and you know, that was still

144
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:41,560
before I really knew what a reprobate or an narcissist, or a sociopath, or a psychopath,

145
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:49,880
psychopaths are born, sociopaths are made, sort of person was, and then, you know, my relative,

146
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:55,320
who I'm staying with, similar sort of thing, I think he's just trying to paint this in that picture

147
00:17:55,320 --> 00:18:02,920
to the other relatives, like, you know, he's he's being the kind guy helping me out, you know,

148
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:08,600
the total saint, this and that, but then whenever he's talking to the relatives about me,

149
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:15,480
it's so negative and just like, so like, who are you even talking about sort of thing, like,

150
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:21,880
manipulatively painting a picture that is consistent with what you might imagine with the homeless

151
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:30,200
person, right? Totally not this in reality at all, you know, this is what I've come to find out

152
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:37,400
is called, like, you know, the smear campaign, and I think probably a lot of the really productive,

153
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:42,360
homeless people on the street who don't have a family to go reunify with,

154
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:51,720
they may have a family, but not someone that they're willing to go stay with, you know,

155
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:57,240
they're in that sense choosing to live on the street because they don't want to go back to that

156
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:04,440
sort of toxic living situation, and then just in terms of economics of the shelter situation,

157
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:10,440
like, if you could just stay in a shelter for free for like two or three years, I think most people

158
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:17,560
would be out of it within, I mean, definitely more than a year, but less than three years,

159
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:23,160
and I think that's totally consistent with how long it takes to start a successful business,

160
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:28,280
because when you're homeless, you're stuck, you're effectively a bootstrapping entrepreneur,

161
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:34,360
so in a lot of ways, the bootstrapping entrepreneur timeline and expectations can be put on to

162
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:41,800
you, so that's a new connection, and maybe a conclusion we're coming up on 20 minutes,

163
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:47,880
and I want to end it there, so ask cadot, harlanjai.com, you can post without registering.

164
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:56,920
