Is Systemic Racism A Product Of Inherited Memories?

WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:08.470 I'm John Emotions and this is daily emotions. It's really cool. I just 2 00:00:08.669 --> 00:00:14.789 recorded a whole podcast and did not have the fucking record button pushed. Nice. 3 00:00:14.830 --> 00:00:18.550 I think I'll remember it. Maybe I'll do it even better the second 4 00:00:18.550 --> 00:00:25.739 time, since so some memory anyway. Yeah, so today's a little bit 5 00:00:25.780 --> 00:00:30.379 better day. Have a better outlook on the on the work situation, I 6 00:00:30.500 --> 00:00:36.409 do two things. mainly. I'm a freelance marketing consultant. I've been easing 7 00:00:36.450 --> 00:00:41.810 up on that work a little bit intentionally because I mostly like logo design and 8 00:00:41.929 --> 00:00:45.850 branding and naming. I don't like some of the social media campaigns as much. 9 00:00:46.729 --> 00:00:52.039 And the other thing I do is sales. Well, the sales job 10 00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:56.799 I've been giving an unfair amount of attention to and the company is just not 11 00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.880 holding up bits end of the deal. It's like not paying me on time 12 00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.920 and things like that. Some, you know, things that make normal people 13 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.469 like really freak out. I'm pretty calm about it, but still. Anyway, 14 00:01:07.709 --> 00:01:11.870 new options opened up. Some feeling better about it today. You know, 15 00:01:11.950 --> 00:01:17.430 I'm thinking about systemic racism, like how it keeps occurring in America or 16 00:01:17.510 --> 00:01:22.819 whatnot, and it came to my mind because I was reading this new book 17 00:01:22.819 --> 00:01:26.980 called the Emotions Code, I think that's what it's called. A bunch of 18 00:01:27.019 --> 00:01:32.260 good reviews on Amazon, tons like hundreds of thousands, four five stars, 19 00:01:32.340 --> 00:01:34.329 and you know me, I'm a sucker for the stars. Well, I 20 00:01:34.489 --> 00:01:42.010 got the book and while I'm into things like, HMM, what would you 21 00:01:42.049 --> 00:01:49.040 call it? Acupuncture, accupressure, Chiropractic work? MMM, herbs. Lem 22 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.040 into that stuff, I'm draw the line of candles. I know people are 23 00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.159 into what do you call it? Stuff, smelly stuff, a Roma therapy. 24 00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.079 I like it, but I'm not sure how much it helps me. 25 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:04.069 I'm kind of a SPAS OF ROMA therapy. MMM, I don't know. 26 00:02:04.150 --> 00:02:07.590 My brains already overwhelmed for the Roman therapy. But anyway. So what I'm 27 00:02:07.629 --> 00:02:12.750 saying is I like, I'm down with a lot of alternative medicine. I 28 00:02:12.909 --> 00:02:16.939 don't believe like in astrology, where I think it's fun, it must have 29 00:02:17.020 --> 00:02:23.379 been based on something at some point, not unlike religion. For some people 30 00:02:23.460 --> 00:02:27.460 it's fun, was based on something, nothing to live your life around. 31 00:02:29.259 --> 00:02:35.050 So this fucking book emotions code starts talking about healing with magnets. Like literally 32 00:02:35.610 --> 00:02:40.370 taking a magnet, running it from here a forehead, between your eyes straight 33 00:02:40.449 --> 00:02:45.879 up over your forehead to the top of your head and back down to your 34 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:50.080 spine and then back. Well, you do that a few times while you're 35 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:55.599 thinking of a memory you want to get rid of or release, and there 36 00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:59.909 you go. They have a whole bunch of like the first third of the 37 00:02:59.990 --> 00:03:02.629 book is telling you how to find out if you have a memory that you'd 38 00:03:02.669 --> 00:03:07.110 like to release. So you and I, we probably don't need that part 39 00:03:07.150 --> 00:03:08.909 of the book at all. I mean, I could think of like a 40 00:03:09.030 --> 00:03:15.300 thousand. I have a whole list of podcast topics of that Shit, just 41 00:03:15.460 --> 00:03:19.780 stuff I need to release. So the magnet thing, like, okay, 42 00:03:20.740 --> 00:03:23.060 I give it a shot, still trying it, but I feel like a 43 00:03:23.219 --> 00:03:29.330 fucking Weirdo and you can't say, Oh, maybe you're doing it wrong. 44 00:03:29.930 --> 00:03:32.650 I'm following the instructions and I still look feel like a Weirdo. Okay, 45 00:03:35.370 --> 00:03:43.319 and yeah, part of the book starts talking about inherited emotions, inherited feelings 46 00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:47.599 and things like that. So like, well, that's that's like systemic racism. 47 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:52.199 Do we inherit not? Not Through our words and deeds as much, 48 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:57.469 because seems like every other generation we like stomp down the Nazis and then they 49 00:03:57.550 --> 00:04:00.870 come back. But I'm like what, what is it? We talked about 50 00:04:00.990 --> 00:04:09.030 the authoritarian quiz, about eighteen percent of people on earth like Authoritarians. So 51 00:04:09.150 --> 00:04:13.180 that's not it. It's not a it's thinking more of racism. Racism, 52 00:04:13.659 --> 00:04:17.300 like what makes white people in America think that they're so entitled and what makes 53 00:04:17.779 --> 00:04:24.019 Black People in America feel so victimized? Like what causes that? Aside from 54 00:04:24.019 --> 00:04:27.290 the reality of every day, like what caused the reality? Like what makes 55 00:04:27.329 --> 00:04:31.889 us act that way to bring the reality to fruition? So I'm somewhat curious 56 00:04:31.930 --> 00:04:38.009 about the idea of inherited emotions, mostly on that grounds, like I don't 57 00:04:38.009 --> 00:04:42.759 think I inherited my parents emotions or anything like that. My kids may have 58 00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.360 inherited mine, I don't know. We'll see when I get to this weird 59 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.319 little experiments I read about. Then we'll decide for ourselves. If you ever 60 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:54.949 heard the idea that we choose our parents before we're born, like we're magical 61 00:04:55.110 --> 00:05:00.069 star dust out there and then we just before we come into existence, we 62 00:05:00.189 --> 00:05:02.910 find these people that we need to learn lessons from? Somebody tried to tell 63 00:05:02.910 --> 00:05:06.379 me that this is way they thought and like that's bullshit, because I know 64 00:05:06.500 --> 00:05:11.259 way too many kids that have been abused and neglected. There's no fucking way 65 00:05:11.699 --> 00:05:15.939 they chose that existence like because they needed to learn that lesson. So fuck 66 00:05:16.019 --> 00:05:21.610 off. So go back to the science, though, of inherited feelings, 67 00:05:23.370 --> 00:05:29.970 memories, emotions and such a big fan of science improving things. There's really 68 00:05:30.009 --> 00:05:32.089 fascinating shit in science and a lot of times we'll go to the more simple 69 00:05:32.129 --> 00:05:36.759 organisms to try to find out what's really happening. Such is the case with 70 00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:42.560 tube worms. So you've probably heard the idea that, like can lizards, 71 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.800 you cut off the tail on the tail will grow back, and there's some 72 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:48.480 worms where you cut off, you know, basically cut them in a half, 73 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:50.949 and they'll grow the rest of the tail back. Well, there's a 74 00:05:50.990 --> 00:05:55.629 couple of species that of worms that will actually grow the head back as well. 75 00:05:56.589 --> 00:06:01.709 So they did a test. They somehow they use some kind of chemical 76 00:06:02.110 --> 00:06:06.100 that would shock the worm in a way that the worm could predict it was 77 00:06:06.100 --> 00:06:13.620 about to be shocked and then learn to divert itself from the shock. Sounds 78 00:06:13.620 --> 00:06:15.980 pretty complex, but anyway, they figured out a way to do this. 79 00:06:15.980 --> 00:06:19.410 Anyway, so the worm knows that, oh, don't do that or there 80 00:06:19.449 --> 00:06:24.689 will be a shock. Well, then they cut the worms head off and 81 00:06:24.889 --> 00:06:28.209 this particular worm, of course, the one with the head, with the 82 00:06:28.290 --> 00:06:30.889 brain, the memory, so to speak, grows. It's the rest of 83 00:06:30.930 --> 00:06:35.480 its body back and of course, strangely but probably predictably, it remembers. 84 00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:40.560 That's the thing that will shock you. Don't UN coe near that. Well, 85 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:45.560 this particular species of worm, the tail, also grows a new head 86 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:48.629 and brain, effectively making two new worms. Where there was one worm, 87 00:06:48.949 --> 00:06:54.269 now there's two. The worm number two, let's call it, the worm 88 00:06:54.350 --> 00:06:58.230 that was just the tail, that grew its head back and a new brain. 89 00:06:58.829 --> 00:07:03.660 Well, strangely enough, that worm carried in its electrical essence of its 90 00:07:03.699 --> 00:07:09.579 tail alone, enough of the memory so that when it created its new brain 91 00:07:09.699 --> 00:07:14.860 and head, it also knew not to fuck with that thing that shocked it. 92 00:07:15.660 --> 00:07:17.329 All the other worms that were not trained about the shock. They didn't 93 00:07:17.370 --> 00:07:20.329 know Dick about the shock. They cannot. They've just walked into and they 94 00:07:20.370 --> 00:07:27.649 got shocked. But both worm number one and it's clone that's grew its own 95 00:07:27.730 --> 00:07:31.519 fresh new head without any brain at all to start with. Both of them 96 00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:42.040 new. So worm number two inherited those memories from its previous self, not 97 00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:45.550 in a brain, not in a communication way, not in words or anything 98 00:07:45.670 --> 00:07:49.829 spoken, but in the cells of its body. It remembered a new thing. 99 00:07:50.750 --> 00:07:54.509 So that's what's fascinating. Then I started thinking, well, maybe that 100 00:07:54.790 --> 00:07:59.019 explains why racism is so hard to get rid of, as we keep reproducing. 101 00:07:59.060 --> 00:08:03.579 It's in our cells, not in our souls, like we have good 102 00:08:03.699 --> 00:08:07.899 souls, we think. But if it's a literally in our cells and we're 103 00:08:07.259 --> 00:08:13.370 communicating this to our next generations electronically through our circuits to the liquid circuits in 104 00:08:13.410 --> 00:08:18.810 our minds, that's fucked up. Hopefully science will have an answer for that 105 00:08:18.889 --> 00:08:22.689 in the future. I don't have one now, but it's super fascinating to 106 00:08:22.810 --> 00:08:28.000 think about, especially the worm experiment. So that should be enough to feel 107 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:31.879 your mind for the rest of the few hours, I guess. Anyway, 108 00:08:31.919 --> 00:08:35.799 I'm on social media. Try Not to be too much to get all agitated, 109 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:41.120 but if you want to connect with me on like twitter at John Emotions, 110 00:08:41.870 --> 00:08:46.909 and you can go on facebook and search for emo do Joe. That's 111 00:08:46.990 --> 00:08:52.070 over there. I don't really participate. is nothing there yet. And the 112 00:08:52.149 --> 00:08:56.299 quickest, fastest way, though, just go to John emotionscom send me an 113 00:08:56.340 --> 00:09:00.100 email you can call me. There's a phone number there if you want to 114 00:09:00.100 --> 00:09:03.820 leave a message for the show. I'll play it on the air. Will 115 00:09:03.860 --> 00:09:05.659 have grand old time. All right, cool, thanks for being here. 116 00:09:05.700 --> 00:09:16.610 I appreciate you and talk to you tomorrow. And now back to the wall. 117 -->
