1
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,530
For thousands of years, humans have passed on
knowledge through the process of storytelling.

2
00:00:35,530 --> 00:00:39,000
Right back into the dawn of time, 
there'd be families that'd sit around campfires

3
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,710
And they would bequeath knowledge.

4
00:00:40,710 --> 00:00:43,980
Father would teach son.
Mother would teach daughter.

5
00:00:43,980 --> 00:00:46,020
This is how knowledge was passed on.

6
00:00:46,020 --> 00:00:50,160
Then, with the advent of the written word,
we became able, all of a sudden,

7
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:54,300
to take knowledge and transfer it
to a physical, recordable media.

8
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:58,070
First time in history,
beyond this concept of songs, stories and legends.

9
00:00:58,070 --> 00:01:00,700
Now, what's happened is that originally we had libraries,

10
00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:04,470
and resources of knowledge, where everyone
could come and bring their information in,

11
00:01:04,470 --> 00:01:06,750
and just contribute it to the greater mass of the good,

12
00:01:06,750 --> 00:01:10,620
so the whole society and structure
could function in a better form.

13
00:01:10,620 --> 00:01:14,450
Now, the problem with this, of course,
is that the Corpoliticals became involved.

14
00:01:14,450 --> 00:01:19,670
And when the Corpoliticals became involved, 
well... They have this concept of "Ownership".

15
00:01:19,670 --> 00:01:26,090
And this strange plague of Ownership, that infects
the entire Corpolitical and capitalistic mindset,

16
00:01:26,090 --> 00:01:30,880
has affected also knowledge.
So for the first time in history,

17
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,880
we have the idea of knowledge being owned.
Not being free.

18
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,370
A bizarre concept to be sure, and something
that our grandfathers, great grandfathers,

19
00:01:40,370 --> 00:01:42,000
and great, great, great grandfathers,

20
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,520
would find to be absolutely an abomination by
anyones ethnical or cultural standards.

21
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,280
It's absolutely ridiculous!

22
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,730
So now, what has happened? In 2005,
we've passed the 50% mark. It's the half way point.

23
00:01:55,730 --> 00:02:03,540
In 2005, over half of the earths population now lives
in these concrete hive structures, we call cities.

24
00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:08,650
This is how they exist. They exist
constantly with the buying and selling of goods.

25
00:02:08,650 --> 00:02:13,650
Everything is market. We're creating our own
dessert wasteland of concrete and steel,

26
00:02:13,650 --> 00:02:17,650
which totally separates us
from the individuality of our being.

27
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,470
But there is hope!

28
00:02:22,470 --> 00:02:24,810
And that hope comes in the form of the Internet.

29
00:02:24,810 --> 00:02:28,530
The whole purpose of the show Patrolling,
the whole idea,

30
00:02:28,530 --> 00:02:33,390
is to take tricks, manipulations and ideas and concepts

31
00:02:33,390 --> 00:02:36,790
that's been shown to me, by people more experienced.

32
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:40,420
Learn from experience,
but it doesn't have you be your experience.

33
00:02:40,420 --> 00:02:43,260
I've got a lot of different experience,
doing a lot of different things.

34
00:02:43,260 --> 00:02:45,230
Some people call me a Jack-of-all-trades.

35
00:02:45,230 --> 00:02:47,540
Some people'd say I can't hold a steady job.

36
00:02:47,540 --> 00:02:52,160
But be that as it may, you get a lot of neat tricks,
coming down the pipe.

37
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,170
And the only way,
we can ever try to keep everyone to a stage

38
00:02:56,170 --> 00:02:59,760
where we have some sort of common ground
with another person on the subway,

39
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,450
or in the elevator, is we have to have common,
things that we all share.

40
00:03:03,450 --> 00:03:05,980
How many times have you seen folks with movies,
they'll say like:

41
00:03:05,980 --> 00:03:08,820
"Hey did you like Star Wars?
What about Chewbacca? Luke Skywalker?"

42
00:03:08,820 --> 00:03:09,950
They talk about Star Trek.

43
00:03:09,950 --> 00:03:12,580
These are things that all of us have in common.

44
00:03:12,580 --> 00:03:17,690
But when you have ownership of an idea and a concept.
This concept must be sold.

45
00:03:17,690 --> 00:03:20,930
It must be bought.
And those of us without the money,

46
00:03:20,930 --> 00:03:22,730
or economic means, or perhaps the equipment,

47
00:03:22,730 --> 00:03:27,100
to watch, to view,
to consume these ideas and concepts,

48
00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:29,470
and make them part of our own mental structure,

49
00:03:29,470 --> 00:03:31,440
well, they just don't get it.

50
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,020
And suddenly they're on the outside,
and they're no longer part of our society.

51
00:03:35,020 --> 00:03:38,180
And we start winding up
with these huge swaths of people,

52
00:03:38,180 --> 00:03:42,650
who just can't be employed,
are not connected in some way.

53
00:03:42,650 --> 00:03:44,330
And this is who those people...

54
00:03:44,330 --> 00:03:47,530
You know, were the people wind up, where do they go?

55
00:03:47,530 --> 00:03:49,500
What's left for them? Nothing!

56
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:52,300
So they just wander around,
totally disconnected from the world.

57
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:56,200
Patrolling is a concept
about adapting to your environment.

58
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,890
You have to take the knowledge that you want,

59
00:03:57,890 --> 00:04:00,060
use what you can, and leave what you don't.

60
00:04:00,060 --> 00:04:02,930
Like a Smorgasbord, it's free for everyone.

61
00:04:02,930 --> 00:04:05,680
Everyone can use the knowledge,
that I'm talking about here.

62
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,540
There's a lot of stuff that comes from soldiers.

63
00:04:07,540 --> 00:04:09,900
A lot of stuff that comes from the military.

64
00:04:09,900 --> 00:04:13,810
And the reason why I teach that,
is because it's functional and it works.

65
00:04:13,810 --> 00:04:17,980
There's nothing quite like
being able to look after yourself.

66
00:04:17,980 --> 00:04:19,940
And, being able to look after yourself,

67
00:04:19,940 --> 00:04:22,280
teach others to look after themselves.

68
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:26,100
I encourage that all of these programs and
these shows be given away freely,

69
00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:29,730
and distributed freely, because, as of 2005,

70
00:04:29,730 --> 00:04:32,100
we've moved to the concrete mega structure.

71
00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:34,120
We've moved to the hive mentality.

72
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,360
We can no longer exist
as in simple symbiosis with nature,

73
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:43,030
because too many of us
have decided to go the other way.

74
00:04:43,030 --> 00:04:46,710
You've got to learn from experience,
but it doesn't have to be your experience.

75
00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:50,540
Learn from my experiences.
Learn from other experiences in the community.

76
00:04:50,540 --> 00:04:52,620
Because if you don't, well...

77
00:04:52,620 --> 00:04:55,500
The story is; You have to adapt, or die.

78
00:04:55,750 --> 00:04:58,320
Waking. Here I am.

79
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,900
Sleeping. Here I am.

80
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:03,440
Dreaming. Here I am.

81
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,030
Waking, sleeping, dreaming. Here I am.

82
00:05:06,030 --> 00:05:08,500
Always I was here.

83
00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:09,550
Now I speak to you.

84
00:05:09,550 --> 00:05:11,170
Just have no fear.

85
00:05:11,170 --> 00:05:13,410
You don't know how much you miss

86
00:05:13,410 --> 00:05:14,730
by not knowing yourself.

87
00:05:14,730 --> 00:05:16,370
Do you run the risk?

88
00:05:16,370 --> 00:05:23,150
Here is the Self, that speaks to you
and will never fade away.

89
00:05:23,150 --> 00:05:25,000
Never fade away.

90
00:05:26,710 --> 00:05:33,390
Here is the Self, that speaks to you
and will never fade away.

91
00:05:33,390 --> 00:05:35,000
Never fade away.

92
00:05:38,310 --> 00:05:39,500
Here I am.

93
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,260
Here I am.

94
00:05:43,410 --> 00:05:44,600
Here I am.

95
00:05:46,010 --> 00:05:47,200
Here I am.

96
00:05:48,750 --> 00:05:51,590
What does it do?
How well does it do it?

97
00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:55,420
This application we apply to everything,
so when we look at our clothing,

98
00:05:55,420 --> 00:05:57,310
naturally we go with the tactical clothing,

99
00:05:57,310 --> 00:06:00,110
when you're in the more rural and suburban environment.

100
00:06:00,110 --> 00:06:04,280
However, the problem with that is
that there's the Wogs, and the Sane.

101
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:08,180
Now, the Sane people do not adhere to
"What does it do?" and "How well does it do it?"

102
00:06:08,180 --> 00:06:09,640
This will cause you problems.

103
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,480
It is unfortunate that we live in the kind of society,

104
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,460
in the kind of world and the kind of cities

105
00:06:14,460 --> 00:06:17,980
where people make snap judgments based upon
the kind of footwear you wear.

106
00:06:17,980 --> 00:06:19,550
The brand name of pants that you have.

107
00:06:19,550 --> 00:06:20,990
The kind of jacket that you have.

108
00:06:20,990 --> 00:06:23,630
And if, suddenly, you don't fit in to the norm, or, God forbid,

109
00:06:23,630 --> 00:06:25,560
you fit into the norm of some subculture,

110
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,890
you'll be instantly judged. Summary tried.
All before you open your mouth.

111
00:06:29,890 --> 00:06:31,880
Just based upon what you wear.

112
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,260
This is an unfortunate fact.

113
00:06:35,260 --> 00:06:36,980
There's nothing we can do about this.

114
00:06:36,980 --> 00:06:38,740
Now there are certain advantages to this,

115
00:06:38,740 --> 00:06:40,250
to wearing camouflage clothing in the city.

116
00:06:40,250 --> 00:06:42,070
For example, if it'll survive in the bush,

117
00:06:42,070 --> 00:06:43,850
you know it'll survive in the urban environment.

118
00:06:43,850 --> 00:06:45,910
The chances of your combat pants becoming ripped,

119
00:06:45,910 --> 00:06:47,720
the chances of your boots becoming damaged,

120
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,620
the chances of your jacket becoming horribly frayed
are next to impossible here.

121
00:06:51,620 --> 00:06:54,620
The amount of wear and tear you put on
tactical gear in the city is minimal.

122
00:06:54,620 --> 00:06:55,780
So it'll last you forever.

123
00:06:55,780 --> 00:07:00,100
However, in the city you must be employed.
You must have social contact with people,

124
00:07:00,100 --> 00:07:03,820
and in the current political and social climate
you'll find that wearing more and more

125
00:07:03,820 --> 00:07:07,270
tactical clothing starts getting people
a little bit more afraid of you,

126
00:07:07,270 --> 00:07:09,250
and this can work to your disadvantage.

127
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,850
You must remember the purpose of camouflage.

128
00:07:11,850 --> 00:07:14,720
The purpose of camouflage is so you are not seen.

129
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,320
The best way not to be hit,
not to be targeted, is to not be seen.

130
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,210
It is vital that we realize that part of being who you are,

131
00:07:23,210 --> 00:07:24,470
is being strong in yourself.

132
00:07:24,470 --> 00:07:27,700
A lot of people wearing combat clothing.
A lot of Wogs draw a lot of strength from

133
00:07:27,700 --> 00:07:30,600
dressing to set themselves apart from society
and that's a good thing.

134
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,510
That is a good thing, it's individualism. But,

135
00:07:32,510 --> 00:07:35,780
if it's individualism expressed, that costs you,

136
00:07:35,780 --> 00:07:37,140
that's something you'd want to be aware of.

137
00:07:37,140 --> 00:07:39,890
Just because you don't happen to
wear your camouflage pants one day,

138
00:07:39,890 --> 00:07:41,300
that doesn't mean you're not a Wog.

139
00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:43,680
You must stop thinking like you're some teenager

140
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,950
and you have to start thinking like an operative.

141
00:07:45,950 --> 00:07:48,550
You have to think to yourself:
"How will this affect me?

142
00:07:48,550 --> 00:07:51,660
How'll peoples notions of me change,
as I walk around in an

143
00:07:51,660 --> 00:07:54,480
urban stroll dressed inside my woodland camouflage?"

144
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,140
Yes, the material is good, and yes,
I'll be definitely able to survive.

145
00:07:58,140 --> 00:08:01,600
You wish to be gray.
You want to blend into the background.

146
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,200
You don't want to stand out and make people go:
"Oh look! There's a Wog!"

147
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,140
The whole point of not being hit, is not being seen.

148
00:08:07,140 --> 00:08:10,540
The easiest way not to be hit,
or to get targeted, is to not be seen.

149
00:08:10,540 --> 00:08:15,430
This is obvious. This is a simplistic fact that
anyone in the world can tell you.

150
00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:17,230
Yet we seem to forget that when we're in the city.

151
00:08:17,230 --> 00:08:18,690
When you're in the city, there's a lot of influences,

152
00:08:18,690 --> 00:08:19,620
a lot of things drawing in at us,

153
00:08:19,620 --> 00:08:22,060
we feel the need to express ourselves as individuals.

154
00:08:22,060 --> 00:08:23,790
But you mustn't give anything away.

155
00:08:23,790 --> 00:08:26,210
You have no reason to tell people personal facts about you.

156
00:08:26,210 --> 00:08:27,830
They don't need to know you're a Wog.

157
00:08:27,830 --> 00:08:30,160
They don't need to know what 
your personal shopping habits are.

158
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,200
All of these things are gathered by people

159
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,930
and they can use it against you as a judgment.

160
00:08:33,930 --> 00:08:36,800
So when you dress like this in the city, 
you have to ask yourself:

161
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,800
"Is dressing and acting like a tactical Wog a help, 
or a hindrance?"

162
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,630
There's certain things that transcend 
the scenario which it's part of.

163
00:08:46,630 --> 00:08:48,780
For example, if you're lost in the wilderness,

164
00:08:48,780 --> 00:08:50,850
and you find that, you know, you're totally...

165
00:08:50,850 --> 00:08:53,020
you come to the realization that: 
"Oh my gosh! I'm lost!"

166
00:08:53,020 --> 00:08:54,270
Well the first thing that has to happen is

167
00:08:54,270 --> 00:08:56,090
that you have to realize that you're lost,

168
00:08:56,090 --> 00:08:57,530
and you've got problems.
You don't know where you are.

169
00:08:57,530 --> 00:08:58,900
you don't know where,
you're gonna be going,

170
00:08:58,900 --> 00:09:00,450
and you have no idea of how to get there.

171
00:09:00,450 --> 00:09:04,760
So in order to figure that out,
what you do is you you have to stop.

172
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,290
First thing you've got to do is stop.

173
00:09:06,290 --> 00:09:08,030
And in the first season we talked a lot about that,

174
00:09:08,030 --> 00:09:10,470
we talked about pulling back,
assessing all the equipment

175
00:09:10,470 --> 00:09:12,370
that you need to have and so on and so forth.

176
00:09:12,370 --> 00:09:17,510
But how do you keep track of where you are,
as a person in life?

177
00:09:17,510 --> 00:09:20,270
Just as when you're lost,
you have to keep track of all your possessions,

178
00:09:20,270 --> 00:09:21,610
and what you have, and yada-yada,

179
00:09:21,610 --> 00:09:24,430
so you can see how you can figure a way
out of being lost.

180
00:09:24,430 --> 00:09:28,450
That same sort of metaphor can apply to life.

181
00:09:28,450 --> 00:09:32,650
And I've found that one of the greatest ways
to figure out where you're going and

182
00:09:32,650 --> 00:09:34,760
what direction you want to go is to

183
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,120
externalize your own perspective on your life.

184
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,420
That's what I'd recommend,
and there is no greater tool to do this

185
00:09:42,420 --> 00:09:44,670
that I find over the years, than role playing games.

186
00:09:44,670 --> 00:09:46,310
Anybody who's ever played role playing games...
Chances are,

187
00:09:46,310 --> 00:09:49,740
people watching this have never been
exposed to real role playing games,

188
00:09:49,740 --> 00:09:51,550
they always have the computer role playing games.

189
00:09:51,550 --> 00:09:53,030
And don't get me wrong!

190
00:09:53,030 --> 00:09:54,810
I think that it's nothing wrong
with computer role playing games,

191
00:09:54,810 --> 00:09:56,180
I think they're excellent, I think they're a lot of fun,

192
00:09:56,180 --> 00:09:58,090
but there definitely not book role playing games.

193
00:09:58,090 --> 00:10:02,140
Because the book role playing games are...
well, they're better.

194
00:10:02,140 --> 00:10:04,520
They enable the mind, they have a community,

195
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,500
it's a great thing to do to get together with people.

196
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:08,880
Now whenever you talk about role playing games,

197
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,000
of course, there's so many systems.

198
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,600
You think the Linux/Microsoft thing is bad,
but that's nothing!

199
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,540
You gotta see what happens when you've got,
like, 25 different gamers

200
00:10:16,540 --> 00:10:19,740
all in love with different systems, 
you know, it really gets bad.

201
00:10:19,740 --> 00:10:23,090
So what I recommend to everyone,
whether you're a gamer or not,

202
00:10:23,090 --> 00:10:26,390
is to actually make yourself a character sheet.

203
00:10:26,390 --> 00:10:28,550
Now this is something that gets taught 
in roundabout ways

204
00:10:28,550 --> 00:10:31,540
by writing creative workshops and executive groups.

205
00:10:31,540 --> 00:10:34,550
"Make a list of your strengths and weaknesses"... 
whatever...

206
00:10:34,550 --> 00:10:37,830
What they're actually saying 
is to make yourself a character sheet.

207
00:10:37,830 --> 00:10:40,640
Because realistically, that's a what a resume is.

208
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,980
That's what you do to try to sell yourself to a company,
is you make a resume.

209
00:10:43,980 --> 00:10:47,200
And what is a resume but a character sheet, really?

210
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,910
But what if you were to take a character sheet 
and make one that, 

211
00:10:48,910 --> 00:10:51,520
you could see where your own strengths 
and weaknesses are,

212
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:56,160
and therefore you can plan ways 
to make yourself better, or worse.

213
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,780
So I'm just going to give you my 
roundabout version of a character sheet.

214
00:10:59,780 --> 00:11:03,120
Now if you are a gamer,
or you want to get involved with role playing games,

215
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,720
you're like "What is this role playing game about?"

216
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,050
and do some research online, check it out,
see all the different systems out there,

217
00:11:08,076 --> 00:11:10,370
by all means go with a system that you enjoy.

218
00:11:10,370 --> 00:11:13,760
I have my preferences, but that's regardless, OK?

219
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,800
So what I've done is I've mixed and matched
a bunch of different systems together,

220
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,880
and I'm just going to give you a generalized format,

221
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:20,820
so after you've watched this,

222
00:11:20,820 --> 00:11:23,700
you'll be able to kind of make a sheet for yourself, 
and figure out;

223
00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:27,140
Where's your direction? 
What direction do you want to go?

224
00:11:27,140 --> 00:11:30,550
So, on your sheet you'll want to have the following, 
physical characteristics.

225
00:11:30,550 --> 00:11:33,060
This has to do with your physical body 
and what have you.

226
00:11:33,060 --> 00:11:36,690
So you got your Strength, 
usually measured on a scale between 1 to 10,

227
00:11:36,690 --> 00:11:38,990
some people like to put it on a scale between 1 to 20

228
00:11:38,990 --> 00:11:41,580
and with roleplaying games, 
it's usually generated by dice and that.

229
00:11:41,580 --> 00:11:44,860
But for you... 
I generally think of myself on a scale from 1 to 20,

230
00:11:44,860 --> 00:11:46,630
and you do like some sort of a mathematical thing,

231
00:11:46,630 --> 00:11:49,950
well, if 1, you can list 20 pounds, 
so it's quite easy, you know.

232
00:11:49,950 --> 00:11:53,850
a 10 is as strong as you can humanly possibly be, 

233
00:11:53,850 --> 00:11:56,170
1 would be, like, crippled, what have you.

234
00:11:56,170 --> 00:11:58,950
So you pick yourself out a space 
somewhere along there.

235
00:11:58,950 --> 00:12:01,660
I like using 1 to 20, because it's not quite so finite.

236
00:12:01,660 --> 00:12:05,810
Average on 1 to 20 is 10, 
so I'm going to say my strength is about...

237
00:12:05,810 --> 00:12:07,250
Well, I work out and I run a little bit,

238
00:12:07,250 --> 00:12:09,650
so I'm gonna put my strength at about 12.

239
00:12:09,650 --> 00:12:12,280
Now there'll be those who'll sit there and say 
"Well, Sean, you're..",

240
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,090
and of course I'm writing sideways too,
so that just looks like hell.

241
00:12:14,090 --> 00:12:17,430
Now underneath Strength, 
we've got Intelligence. Strength, Intelligence.

242
00:12:17,430 --> 00:12:21,600
Intelligence, that's not necessarily your Wisdom, 
that's a different stat.

243
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,530
The difference between Intelligence and Wisdom is,

244
00:12:23,530 --> 00:12:25,640
Intelligence is how well you can think,

245
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,340
Wisdom is how well you can apply the experiences 
that you've had in life,

246
00:12:29,340 --> 00:12:31,950
and those are a little bit heady, 
but there is quite a difference.

247
00:12:31,950 --> 00:12:33,710
There's a lot of intelligent people out there

248
00:12:33,710 --> 00:12:36,190
who just do really dumb things repeatedly.

249
00:12:36,190 --> 00:12:41,640
Now I'd put my Intelligence probably around, 
on a scale from 1 to 20,

250
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,720
I'm going to be a little bit generous to myself,

251
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,720
say a 13 in Intelligence, on a scale of 1 to 20.

252
00:12:47,470 --> 00:12:50,660
OK, your Wisdom... I've done a lot of stuff.

253
00:12:50,660 --> 00:12:52,400
I have done a lot of stuff,

254
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,810
so I'm going to get a little bit buffy 
with my Wisdom here,

255
00:12:54,810 --> 00:12:56,740
and I'm going to make my Wisdom 15.

256
00:12:56,740 --> 00:12:59,230
Whoa! Whoa! I'm sure there's gamers out there like:

257
00:12:59,230 --> 00:13:02,000
"Hey man, Rastlin only had a 14 in Wisdom", 
OK, well, whatever,

258
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,070
I going to get myself a 15 in Wisdom.

259
00:13:04,070 --> 00:13:06,410
You can change this later, what have you.

260
00:13:06,410 --> 00:13:09,750
You have your Dexterity. 
Your Dexterity is how flexible you are.

261
00:13:09,750 --> 00:13:15,090
A 20 would be like a ninja, or Bruce Lee, 1 would be...

262
00:13:15,090 --> 00:13:16,060
Smokehouse.

263
00:13:16,060 --> 00:13:19,820
So what I'd do instead of classifying yourself,

264
00:13:19,820 --> 00:13:22,280
I'd look around, probably put it around the,

265
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,610
me, I stretch fairly often, 
I put it up there with my Strength,

266
00:13:26,610 --> 00:13:28,870
which would be 12 again.

267
00:13:28,870 --> 00:13:29,980
Now again, if this would be a roleplaying game,

268
00:13:29,980 --> 00:13:31,470
all this'd be randomly generated,

269
00:13:31,470 --> 00:13:34,750
but this is me.
This is me that we're creating a character sheet for

270
00:13:34,750 --> 00:13:38,410
so you have a lot of more leeway 
of what you think of yourself.

271
00:13:38,410 --> 00:13:40,700
You can go all egotistical and say 
"Yeah I'm the smartest guy ever!",

272
00:13:40,700 --> 00:13:42,380
but you're not going to have 
an accurate character sheet then.

273
00:13:42,380 --> 00:13:44,180
You have to be honest with yourself. 
No one has to see this but you.

274
00:13:44,180 --> 00:13:46,580
Then you have your Constitution.

275
00:13:46,580 --> 00:13:49,490
How tough are you in reference of getting sick?

276
00:13:49,490 --> 00:13:51,600
That kind of a thing, are you getting sick often?

277
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,260
Are your bones prone to breaking?

278
00:13:53,260 --> 00:13:55,160
Do you have a lot of injuries going?

279
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,420
It's got nothing to do with your fighting spirit,

280
00:13:56,420 --> 00:13:58,720
just how much punishment your body can take.

281
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,480
My body can take a lot of punishment,

282
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:05,050
so I'm going to give myself a 15 
in Constitution as well.

283
00:14:05,050 --> 00:14:08,070
Then you've got your Charisma. 
Your ability to speak to people,

284
00:14:08,070 --> 00:14:10,250
make friends easily, that kind of thing.

285
00:14:10,250 --> 00:14:12,110
And that is something that I can do,

286
00:14:12,110 --> 00:14:16,110
so I'm going to go absolutely crazy 
and give myself a 16 in Charisma.

287
00:14:16,110 --> 00:14:20,280
And your Comeliness, 
which of course is you physical appearance only.

288
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,540
How well you can dress up 
or look all hottie or whatever, OK?

289
00:14:24,540 --> 00:14:27,210
That's sort of the general idea.

290
00:14:27,210 --> 00:14:30,910
Charisma offshoots your Comeliness, 
because there's lots of

291
00:14:30,910 --> 00:14:33,260
really ugly people that got a lot of charisma.

292
00:14:33,260 --> 00:14:35,250
I give you Mick Jagger, I mean the guy's,

293
00:14:35,250 --> 00:14:38,000
I mean his Comeliness is like 0,

294
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,520
but, I mean, he's got thousands 
and thousands of adoring fans, why is that?

295
00:14:40,670 --> 00:14:42,670
Well because he's got a very high Charisma.

296
00:14:42,670 --> 00:14:46,820
So for me, my Comeliness, 
I'm going to plant that about a good, solid 7.

297
00:14:46,820 --> 00:14:50,910
So we've got... 
Once you get your physical attributes down, now,

298
00:14:50,910 --> 00:14:52,580
in roleplaying games, you use these attributes,

299
00:14:52,580 --> 00:14:53,950
and they generate everything else.

300
00:14:53,950 --> 00:14:56,460
But since we're not part of any particular gaming system

301
00:14:56,460 --> 00:15:00,590
this is just a general outline, 
to give you sort of an idea where you're at.

302
00:15:00,590 --> 00:15:04,560
Then you've got your Name, 
which of course is going to be Sean, for me, here.

303
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,990
I'll just write that in, Sean...

304
00:15:06,990 --> 00:15:08,190
K.

305
00:15:08,190 --> 00:15:12,770
My Code Name will be SKTFM.

306
00:15:12,770 --> 00:15:16,200
And then, my Age. I'm 31.

307
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,590
Ouch... That's really old.

308
00:15:19,590 --> 00:15:23,320
Then we have your Health. Now... 
Health points, and all that kind of jazz,

309
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,650
this is usually where you get the idea of Hit Points

310
00:15:26,650 --> 00:15:29,380
and how much Damage you can take 
in a game before you die.

311
00:15:29,380 --> 00:15:31,980
So like, in Call of Cthulhu, for example,

312
00:15:31,980 --> 00:15:33,300
a game that's won all kinds of awards,

313
00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:36,850
if you get shot, you generally get killed right away.

314
00:15:36,850 --> 00:15:39,170
And I'd recommend games that makes guns lethal,

315
00:15:39,170 --> 00:15:42,230
because that gives you a lot more accuracy 
in your roleplaying scenarios,

316
00:15:42,230 --> 00:15:43,810
that you may or may not enjoy.

317
00:15:43,810 --> 00:15:46,800
So I'll... You have your Health, which has to do with

318
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,480
how much poison you can take into your body, 
that kind of a thing.

319
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,600
And depending on the system... 
I'm just going to say I've got 20 health points.

320
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:55,800
Your SDC, which comes from Paladium which means


321
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,310
Structural Damage Capacity. 
I give Paladium full credits for this.

322
00:15:58,310 --> 00:16:02,000
This was a concept they had, 
that certain items increase your toughness.

323
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,480
For example, if you get shot, and you wear body armor,

324
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,490
well, the Armour absorbs the impact, right?

325
00:16:07,490 --> 00:16:11,060
Or if you've got sub-dermal Armour 
due to cybernetic implants,

326
00:16:11,060 --> 00:16:11,760
that kind of a thing,

327
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,260
the Armour takes the Damage, you yourself so not.

328
00:16:14,260 --> 00:16:17,510
You yourself will not be slowed down 
because your Armour was damaged.

329
00:16:17,510 --> 00:16:21,900
So I've got to have 0 SDC, because right now, 
I'm wearing a kung-fu outfit,

330
00:16:21,900 --> 00:16:23,900
there's no leather Armour, there's nothing like that.

331
00:16:23,900 --> 00:16:25,440
And of course, your Hit Points.

332
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,880
This is how much of a a beating you can take.

333
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,650
Now Hit Points are kind of a funny thing, 
because once your,

334
00:16:30,650 --> 00:16:33,760
like any gamer'd know, once your Hit Points are 0... 
You're dead.

335
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,850
So it depends on how much Damage 
things are cooking out.

336
00:16:35,850 --> 00:16:38,720
So we're going to go with... You look at...
How you run your Damage charts.

337
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,300
Generally, one gunshot should incapacitate anyone.

338
00:16:43,300 --> 00:16:45,260
That's your gaming criteria for systems,

339
00:16:45,260 --> 00:16:49,180
is that one gunshot should incapacitate anyone.

340
00:16:49,180 --> 00:16:51,500
So I'm going to give myself a Hit Point of...

341
00:16:51,500 --> 00:16:53,670
I'm going to give myself 10 Hit Points.

342
00:16:53,670 --> 00:16:58,170
Now, your average knife strike, usually, 
like a knife stab wound, does 6 Hit Points of Damage.

343
00:16:58,170 --> 00:17:02,840
So by my scale, 
that means that I could be stabbed twice and be dead.

344
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,340
Even though we've heard the news, 
you know, that you can get stabbed,

345
00:17:05,340 --> 00:17:08,060
like, a 150 times and still not be dead.

346
00:17:08,060 --> 00:17:10,890
Moving along... 
We have your Skills and Weapon proficiencies.

347
00:17:10,890 --> 00:17:13,560
These two categories here, hopefully this one,

348
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,200
will be the longest part 
of making your character sheet up.

349
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,860
This is where you write down 
the things you have a working knowledge of.

350
00:17:19,860 --> 00:17:22,480
If you have working knowledge of, 
say, first aid, and you think to yourself:

351
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,230
"Hmm, if I came across a scene, 
there was a guy lying on the ground,

352
00:17:25,230 --> 00:17:28,870
how proficient would I be at first aid?"
As a percentage point.

353
00:17:28,870 --> 00:17:32,410
If I had a 100% First Aid, 
would that make me like a paramedic,

354
00:17:32,410 --> 00:17:33,620
or does that just mean that I...

355
00:17:33,620 --> 00:17:35,600
Paramedic is a different skill, 
you see, so you isolate your skills.

356
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,410
You have computer programming. 
You have HTML design.

357
00:17:38,410 --> 00:17:41,750
You have maybe lock picking as a skill.

358
00:17:41,750 --> 00:17:43,110
You can go through all the different gaming books,

359
00:17:43,110 --> 00:17:45,480
and you can come up with 
all the different kinds of skills.

360
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,320
That's why role playing games are handy to have around, 
you sit around and go:

361
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,350
"I don't know anything", 
well do you know anything about botany? Plant life?

362
00:17:50,350 --> 00:17:53,020
"Well, yeah, yeah, I used to help my mom 
with her garden and stuff like that."

363
00:17:53,020 --> 00:17:55,590
Well great! That means you've got some skills in botany.

364
00:17:55,590 --> 00:17:57,140
Do you have some skills in cryptography?

365
00:17:57,140 --> 00:17:59,400
Do you have skills with tactical movement?

366
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,810
Do you have skills with plotting? Tactical thinking?

367
00:18:01,810 --> 00:18:05,370
This skill-sheet should go down, 
each one you put a percentage point on it.

368
00:18:05,370 --> 00:18:09,200
If you got a little bit of of knowledge in it, 
you've got 10%, or 5%, that's knowledge.

369
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,680
But if you're 1337 h4xx0r and you know what's going on, 
yeah, crank that sucker up!

370
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,420
Never give yourself 100% in anything, 
because that means you're infallible,

371
00:18:16,420 --> 00:18:17,930
and you can never be beaten.

372
00:18:17,930 --> 00:18:20,050
Usually in role playing games, 
they play them with different dice,

373
00:18:20,050 --> 00:18:22,740
4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 20-sided dice.

374
00:18:22,740 --> 00:18:26,160
So what happens with a percentage, 
you'd run up a scenario

375
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,970
where you'd put all your dice together and roll,

376
00:18:27,970 --> 00:18:30,930
and then that'll generate a number that's based against

377
00:18:30,930 --> 00:18:32,580
your skill point number plus the modifier

378
00:18:32,580 --> 00:18:34,530
provided by the general gaming master,

379
00:18:34,530 --> 00:18:36,530
and you determine whether or not you made the roll.

380
00:18:36,530 --> 00:18:41,020
The whole world of roleplaying is essentially 
a glorified game of "What if?".

381
00:18:41,020 --> 00:18:46,160
And back in the eighties, 
all the crazy Christian institutions swore that... before...

382
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,720
Like now, you only hear about the video games being evil.

383
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,380
Well... Before there was the video games...

384
00:18:50,380 --> 00:18:53,280
There was these guys...
There was the roleplaying games

385
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,720
and was many a book burned and many a kid

386
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,690
wound up getting very heavily persecuted, 
your truly amongst them.

387
00:18:59,690 --> 00:19:03,290
Simply because we wanted to use our minds 
to escape reality.

388
00:19:03,290 --> 00:19:06,460
Because we wanted to enjoy these worlds created.

389
00:19:06,460 --> 00:19:10,900
Now these games here, SLA Industries, 
Cyberpunk, Shadow-run, Dark Conspiracy,

390
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:14,710
these were all games with very much 
a cyberpunk feel to it.

391
00:19:14,710 --> 00:19:18,140
Gurps makes a cyberpunk book as well, 
and there's a few other ones.

392
00:19:18,140 --> 00:19:21,770
There's some other ones, 
I have a copy of one called "Kult" which is very, very rare.

393
00:19:21,770 --> 00:19:25,180
Some of the games were made illegal, 
because they had "dangerous materials" and

394
00:19:25,180 --> 00:19:27,320
people could make characters that nobody should make.

395
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,990
That's a very weird portion of history, and now,

396
00:19:29,990 --> 00:19:33,680
it's largely forgotten, 
because everything's gone into video games.

397
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:34,920
But before the video games...

398
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,330
I'd urge everyone to get together 
and make yourself up a character sheet

399
00:19:38,330 --> 00:19:41,570
so you can look at yourself objectively, 
see if your Strength is low,

400
00:19:41,570 --> 00:19:44,290
and you want to up it by working out, by doing cardio,

401
00:19:44,290 --> 00:19:46,050
by getting some Skills in running.

402
00:19:46,050 --> 00:19:48,940
Weapon proficiency...
What kinds of weapons do you know how to use?

403
00:19:48,940 --> 00:19:50,640
Do you know how to use a knife?
Do you know how to use a gun?

404
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,020
Do you know how to use a Bo staff? Nun-chucks?

405
00:19:52,020 --> 00:19:54,150
What do you know how to use?

406
00:19:54,150 --> 00:19:56,360
You don't have to have a skill... 
You can put a percentage beside if you like,

407
00:19:56,360 --> 00:19:57,970
or you could just note that you have it there.

408
00:19:57,970 --> 00:20:00,650
And going through there, 
you're able to look at yourself as a character,

409
00:20:00,650 --> 00:20:03,230
in a story, in a book, or even in your own life.

410
00:20:03,230 --> 00:20:06,120
And then from that, you can chose a character class!

411
00:20:06,120 --> 00:20:09,110
Something you want to do. 
Something you want to spend your life doing.

412
00:20:09,110 --> 00:20:11,570
Spend some though on this. This is you.

413
00:20:11,570 --> 00:20:14,290
This is one of the few occasions you get 
to stand back and go:

414
00:20:14,290 --> 00:20:17,400
"You know, what do I want to be? 
What kind of a person do I want to be?

415
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,310
What kind of a person do I want to 
present myself to other people to be?"

416
00:20:20,310 --> 00:20:22,340
Because nobody gives anybody any thought about that.

417
00:20:22,340 --> 00:20:25,940
Nobody gives themselves the thought of 
"What kind of person do I want to be?",

418
00:20:25,940 --> 00:20:28,310
not the kind of person they tell you to be.

419
00:20:28,310 --> 00:20:32,310
That my name is Sean Kennedy,
and I am the fucking man.

420
00:20:32,900 --> 00:20:36,660
Let's cut the crap. We can all sit around and 
pretend like we don't want to have a job,

421
00:20:36,660 --> 00:20:38,970
and we all can, you know, 
sit around and pretend and cry about

422
00:20:38,970 --> 00:20:41,200
how shitty it is that the corpolitical has taken over.

423
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,340
And we know it. I know, 
it's very shitty that the Corpolitical has taken over.

424
00:20:44,340 --> 00:20:45,480
But we have to deal with this.

425
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:46,540
You have three choices.

426
00:20:46,540 --> 00:20:48,390
You can either fight the Corpolitical.

427
00:20:48,390 --> 00:20:50,130
You can sell out to the Corpolitical.

428
00:20:50,130 --> 00:20:52,220
Or you can wallow in your own crap.

429
00:20:52,220 --> 00:20:56,680
If you wallow in your own crap, that's useless, 
you're not doing anything for anyone.

430
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,970
Just sit around, smoke weed and just go 
"Oh well, y'know, what are we going to do?

431
00:20:59,970 --> 00:21:02,520
I'm going to work my crappy job. I hate my crappy job,

432
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,130
and there's nothing I can do to change anything

433
00:21:04,130 --> 00:21:06,760
so instead I'm just going to subscribe to my magazines,

434
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,900
and listen to my music and that'll be the end of it"

435
00:21:08,900 --> 00:21:11,450
And that's OK, 
because then you become a part of a market as well.

436
00:21:11,450 --> 00:21:13,990
But that's not what I'm about, 
and that's not what Wogs are about either.

437
00:21:13,990 --> 00:21:17,480
You see, the point here is that we have to change things.

438
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,450
We have to change things in the world.
We have to change the Corpolitical state.

439
00:21:21,450 --> 00:21:22,950
And how are we going to do that?

440
00:21:22,950 --> 00:21:27,130
The only way we can do that is to infiltrate them, 
to corrupt the corrupters.

441
00:21:27,130 --> 00:21:29,000
This is the idea. This is the whole concept.

442
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,740
People go "You're selling out if you put on a tie!"

443
00:21:30,740 --> 00:21:33,050
No, dude...
No, no, you're not selling out if you put on a tie.

444
00:21:33,050 --> 00:21:35,000
You sell out if you put on a tie for the wrong reasons.

445
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,050
You sell out, if you put on a tie, to buy in to the lot.
That's the problem!

446
00:21:39,050 --> 00:21:41,510
Is if you begin to buy in to the whole crap.

447
00:21:41,510 --> 00:21:43,460
You say "Well, I got a nice car, now, y'know...

448
00:21:43,460 --> 00:21:45,690
I got my wife and everything... It's nice"

449
00:21:45,690 --> 00:21:49,280
No, no, no!
Now is the time that you have to stand up and fight.

450
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,490
You want to get yourself a good job?
There's no crime in that!

451
00:21:51,490 --> 00:21:52,920
There's no crime in wanting a good job!


452
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,800
What's wrong with wanting a job,
that you can be proud of?

453
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,660
What's wrong with that?
There's nothing wrong with that!

454
00:21:56,660 --> 00:21:59,180
But it doesn't mean you have to sell out all your ideology.

455
00:21:59,180 --> 00:22:01,310
These people have corporations that stand up and say

456
00:22:01,310 --> 00:22:03,230
"Oh yeah, we believe in this doctrine and this dogma."

457
00:22:03,230 --> 00:22:06,740
But when you go into the office, you bet,
it's just like going deep undercover.

458
00:22:06,740 --> 00:22:10,190
They send all sorts of operatives into our world
looking for what's cool.

459
00:22:10,190 --> 00:22:13,370
Little psychological tweaks they can do,
to make sure they market to us.

460
00:22:13,370 --> 00:22:18,420
They can sell us the lies.
You declare war on the mind share of north America.

461
00:22:18,420 --> 00:22:21,780
It's a nightmare what they've done! So that's fine.

462
00:22:21,780 --> 00:22:25,020
We can either hate them for that, which is... 
We're going to do that.

463
00:22:25,020 --> 00:22:26,720
So we can either hate them, or love them.

464
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,700
I've chosen to hate them,
because I can not forgive them for what they've done.

465
00:22:29,700 --> 00:22:32,990
How they've destroyed countless lives.
How they've destroyed art.

466
00:22:32,990 --> 00:22:35,270
How they've destroyed our way of life,

467
00:22:35,270 --> 00:22:39,430
and the way of life of people, who are peace-loving
and concerned, gentle consumers.

468
00:22:39,430 --> 00:22:41,370
That is a terrifying thing to me.

469
00:22:41,370 --> 00:22:43,450
So, how do we... How do we... How do we get back?

470
00:22:43,450 --> 00:22:44,440
How are we going to do that?

471
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,440
Well, my fellow Wogs,
I think the way we should get back at them

472
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,050
is to use the same tactics against them,
that they're using against us.

473
00:22:51,050 --> 00:22:54,580
Let's infiltrate their companies.
Let's infiltrate their places of work.

474
00:22:54,580 --> 00:22:56,320
Let's get on their little boards of directors.

475
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,950
Let's get on the inside,
so we can take corporate information,

476
00:22:58,950 --> 00:23:01,840
I'm talking about espionage style stuff here,
and outing it.

477
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,630
I'm not talking about overthrowing governments.

478
00:23:03,630 --> 00:23:04,860
Governments are fine!

479
00:23:04,860 --> 00:23:06,630
Let's overthrow the powers that run the governments.

480
00:23:06,630 --> 00:23:08,539
Let's overthrow the corporations.

481
00:23:08,580 --> 00:23:11,060
Let's get their personal 
and private data out on the wires.

482
00:23:11,060 --> 00:23:14,613
Let's broadcast that. 
Let's see how much we can actually screw up things,

483
00:23:14,648 --> 00:23:15,710
If we actually learn the truth.

484
00:23:15,710 --> 00:23:17,720
If we get enough operatives inside their companies.

485
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,640
What if we were to do that?
Nobody's tried it.

486
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,010
I think the Wogs could do it.
I think you could do it.

487
00:23:22,010 --> 00:23:23,150
I can do it.

488
00:23:23,500 --> 00:23:26,150
My name's Sean Kennedy,
and I am the fucking man.

489
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,050
All is the Self, all is myself.

490
00:23:31,050 --> 00:23:34,000
All is you and yours. There's nobody else.

491
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,000
I am one and appear as many.

492
00:23:36,220 --> 00:23:38,790
I am one and appear as many.

493
00:23:38,790 --> 00:23:41,360
All is the Self, all is myself.

494
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:44,280
All is you and yours. There's nobody else.

495
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,310
I am one and appear as many.

496
00:23:46,530 --> 00:23:49,090
I am one and appear as many.

497
00:23:49,090 --> 00:23:55,770
Here is the Self, that speaks to you and will never fade away.

498
00:23:55,770 --> 00:23:57,770
Never fade away.

499
00:23:59,390 --> 00:24:06,170
Here is the Self, that speaks to you and will never fade away.

500
00:24:06,170 --> 00:24:08,170
Never fade away.

501
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,280
They are the three states,

502

waking, sleeping, dreaming

503
00:24:23,750 --> 00:24:25,780
in which the one's aware.

504
00:24:25,780 --> 00:24:27,520
The common fact: I am,

505
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,000
this feeling's always there.

506
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,840
The world is like a sheet of paper

507
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,520
on which something's typed.

508
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,520
The meaning and the reading...
