the, the the, my last real job. last job i got a paycheck from was a college professor in new york city at the digital new york film academy. and i tried to make 20 programming languages in different classes. i have all the courses here and i found them all recently, which is great, like i was looking at my google drive and i was like, i have recordings of my lectures. i have my quote, i have my lesson plans my are, is this digital i actually joined a, our community in brooklyn to, to just to, to prove that to myself and to other people that are taken out to do is art as well

. and, you know, by the end, they agreed, you know, because i was making a guy that talked back and i was doing gallery shows where we will put people in a room. you know, we have like a bunch of mannequins like 5 mannequins with different, different personalities, a little different, a personalities. and we put people in that room for 5 or 10 minutes and the soon as you say a single word, they all start cascading and go off of each other. so you have this really like a conversation with 5 different people. like i have one had a jamaica max and that goes a different temperaments are women, have you heard of the technological singularity? the technological singularity is the hypothesis that the invention that artificial super intelligence will abruptly trigger runaway technological growth resulting in onside and the goal changes to human civilization muffler. the

can you tell please, what is it slip and what is the cost of sitting there? should i have right here, like i say, this is one of the dining halls. so, and you can tell that by this long stretch right here. this is where the dining room was, is where the officer sit down and they stablish probably a storage st, cuz you could tell there was walls went there, you could tell were all the walls last. i bet any money that high rise section right there. there was where they went and got their food. it was a mess. all right. you know the soldiers food place, you know, we call the mess in the military. i don't know why they call it the mess, but that's what it is. right? there are forest labs just like this one around here. i mean, exactly the same pattern, the military, this was just a temporary base during world war 2. well, there are training the guys to go to war, you know. and then as well as other words they,

they close this base down the think a 1st year i was out here all these feel this was like a field and there was so much green on it like the plants. so we see right here where like feel like it looked like a blanket blanket, a green and there was these, i don't know what kind of butterfly they were, but they're migrating and you'd walk through and they just like lift up and it was like, you know, like a blanket moved on right here. i'm gonna put in uh, a grove or uh an orchard with um apple trees, ill citrus, a full variety palmer, granite, a lot of different things. my sister's husband bought me 14 trees for trees. so maybe putting those in the i built the staircase

of 4 years ago now it goes down or up the end of it up to the top of the tank wall . and then i did a whole ladder on the inside that goes down into the tank. and it's a if you're afraid of heights, it might be a little challenging. but all cell phone, cell phone for me. so i built this stair case and 7 days for the just to get in the thing the, i want to make it into an off of bond where i have vertical aqua phonics coming down the walls. and then i want to grow bits in here. i want to have a truck all way around. $471.00 foot circumference. yeah. it's going to be a big project like to go enough to provide for the community for the most part from

young fruits, industrials. and maybe you have livestock, as far as chickens are, always want to keep costs for garden dogs. easy to be coming down the wall right here, the like that and come back and drop down into the the trough. this trough would be like maybe 3 feet off and wall about 3 feet high and just put a legal parrot that wall right here to check this, but yeah, i just use what i got here. usually i re opposed service, but i'm kind of looking for something like that drugs. okay. yeah. okay. well i will say that i got something to do every day and it's a good thing your life. stay busy because i've been through some crap in my life

and i'm a processor and really, you know, i don't hold myself to my pass, but if you say you don't think about it, you know, believe me, i've done some pretty things now. yeah, that's why i'm saying, uh maybe you can help me out cuz i'm telling you man, it's a weird bike. put those spar sharp in asheville. yeah. cuz just go the other way. just like that. yeah. last night and my last wife i shot my brother in law. i got a sense of bringing board and i just thank god today i doing, telling me so i made a mistake. they were hours or she divorced me. you know? no, no. i mean, i could talk about it now, but it was a very difficult time. i. i remember that time and being in prison on top of that,

i couldn't even talk. i go to my mouth, i my crack, which is and think i was broke and has it man, but i did day in there. i mean it was a restaurant space there. i remember though to say that was only 5 years ago or so for me you yeah. about 5 years minus the 7 months and 7 months that i left it for prison for 7 months. i'd rather talk about the future in like what i'm just doing now, you know then, and then all the problems they gotten here. but i mean, you know, you have to bring it up, i suppose, just to, you know, the, the whole story. you don't want to. yeah. yeah. it's not that big a deal though. i guess just seem like a lot when i was going through it though, you know, and i seemed a lot of other people too. so i got compassion for people because i've been there

kind of a lot of it on a lot of the homeless things and stuff like that now. so i know what i know what it's like to get down there. they've gone, i'm, i'm fine. come back up and i'm, i'm doing it doing this slowly and how long you've been here. about 5 years, they picked me up about 6 months and after i'd been here, they picked me up right in my b mx bicycle down the side of the road. i was about 30 feet off the road. they stopped me for no light on my bike after sunset. and i had a warrant from san diego felony warrant for some stuff and. and that's why i came out here to try and trying get away from them because they're just, they were looking for things they were creating, creating problems where there was no problems. so they could profit off of it. okay, jim, you've already put flight stuff in the seat up you have to people out here because they have nowhere else to go when it came function

in society and the other hand of here because they loved the place and there's nowhere else they'd rather be than here, but i'm one of those people, so i to leave and i did for a little while and i, i always remember that. and that's why i'm patient and tyler and with people. because the, so i'm not serving, i'm taking a spot somewhere. someone can live here who has, who can live anywhere else. and so if i'm going to live here by my own choice, when i have the option to go to los angeles and do fine. and then i need to serve to make a student to earn my spot here several 100 people have passed through here. either under way, somewhere else or provide safe space to abuse women and to elderly people to mentally ill, people, to addicts, to children. you know that if i have an extra trailer, i always i always make rooms out of it. so that when people come near phase the

state and they have one that i was married to an intel executive for all this 25 years that that had an extensive bank account. tell me no love, actually the game i did the whole further than my cousin asking on time. what was it like living in the white man's world and i went to the sales floor and i'm like what we call them culture of old service. now that white man mentality of their just spectators, they're not participants in life, but they pay for adventures. call it a living. right? why are good to live it every day? i was a born again. christian conservative house wise. for predict 16.

i gave him 6 kit. well 5, his baby came up to me. then once on that mostly and tough risk, them swear, i lost my mind. it's no better place to be to the village in the some beautiful features and live free live. however, you want to get along with everyone who had all the dogs. how did the dogs get along with the goats of these things, susan? it's one of them. this is just a horn dog. your name again is mike uh, mark. so he's michael. mark for info on marco paul. uh, no,

i know i get it as love as julie, and i guess in the sense that there are no authority is within the city. everyone is their own citizen, including the animal who owns free. awesome. and there's no organization except for what comes out except for what emerges from everyone coming together, bring their own situation to it, and creating their own home and environment. and joining in when i 1st came there, most of the population here was snowbirds, you know, mom and pop. get to retirement age, the kids a wall left. so they sell the house and buy a big motor over and start traveling. and you could stay here for free. and so those were the people i met when i 1st came here. the people all started getting

old and owning a motor home. got it started getting more expensive in the economy. we started going down and are all those factors together, those that crowd of people died out. but now i in the world today. so there's a lot of people that don't have a way to build a life that you'd want, you know, the russian states never as tight as i'm sort of the most sense community best to communicate and i'll send, send the, send the $65.00 to $5.00. and speed, what else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin media mission, the state on russia to day and split the ortiz full neck team and our video agency,

roughly all the band on youtube tv services for what question did you say from stephen twist, which is the it was widely thought the year 2024 would be to multi was that it was however, in ways few had predicted the world did change in this ear, though hardly for the better. what are the highlights and lowlights makes a lot of rain on some t like so. what i can say is i'm going to start remembering, wanted to go. so there we have a lot of refugees. we don't have to have the regrets for refugees because we got refugees right here. you know, you see the all the,

the blue tarp homeless people in los angeles and, and the other cities. i'm sure this is better living than living and skid road, los angeles, you know, that's gotta be so hopeless. it's heavy to think about this. people come in here what they think about. then i see a bunch of hungry people, a seal, and this is blessing, right? here for all that food we get him. we good. try like you to feel out of this whole come and every month. but every month. feel they make sure that we hit, we have food out here. you know, a lot of people are hungry there. don't have no money or anything vices. you say yeah, it's all good to love the community that helps people out here. that's what i love, the most is syndicated all this is one big happy family. that's what i like.

and even though you see people here with nothing, you know, some of them are cardboard checks, you know, but the cardboard shack of real coffee. if you just been sleeping on the dirt, you know, and you get a few odd jobs and maybe you could find a rundown, broken down trailers to live in. you know, you can pull your life together and that kind of way here for if you're in the city, is never ever, most of the cancellation in your car and to see. yeah. you know, those, those sites you run you off, but i'm not always nice because that's why we call this the last free place. because it is not because you can't live here in free. it's because you can be here and nobody's going to persecute or prosecute you about it. you know, you're just laying down in the dirt here. people is coming to ask if you're all right,

but nobody's going to charge you off to jail for $77.00 decades on insurance. but uh so you know, here you can do the things you wanna do without having to have a you didn't turn in jail, have people take what you are now as i got to talk reading tony sometimes who is doing this program over here. so yes, thank goodness, in my kitchen area is in transition as is, everything's really in transition all of his time. but uh, yeah, so its all scrambled around right now and when i get done with it, will i ever did you, what is it? i don't know what could come with gas now? you were out for 2 days. yeah, i don't know. hardly ever run, i guess, but somehow within flushing away it is and things cost. and so what were the treasure i just heard from my beer?

because it's like i said, inflation oh, inflation is gone up. so i a last one year. i mean it's been going up for like 4 or 5 years now. but the last year that's just really ticked is right in wallace. you know, right in the money department, if you're fortunate, if you get money out here, some of those are and some others aren't. everything has gone up and show much in price. and especially if you have to shop right here in town through, gosh, robbery is a 1st degree you get food stamps once a month. i just but i buy cheap natives. very try to get my money is i asked as long as i possibly can. i mean, i got a couple more years. retired that's, that's the go here. ok to retire and a half. and after that, now got some things to do. 6 bucks.

explaining that it's so 7, said 17 obviously i just, i bought it near 7 bucks for going see here, is that the 59 that for this added to no doubt 99 or 10 to the airbag issue. still gotta get ready to get your money. oh wow, i worked deal for 25 years and whatnot. and then all a sudden they gave me as a, you know, i literally just stirred kind of but i have no lithium in my body. so therefore, uh, you know, you got your option down the highs and lows and this type of thing. and that is um, you know, considered to be a handicapped of sure that to where they show up on your hands on. when i mentioned

that mine was, uh, yeah, i will, i love the torch feeding, i wish a welder too, but well, garage a pretty good welder, but in your torch department and feeling, you know, why was that? that tough? so you said you wouldn't be probably able to make it out there with the amount of money. oh, hell no. but you have to have 2 or 3 people, you know, conglomerate, and together to do, you have enough money to pay the rent to pay your electric, just pay your sewer bill. and obviously, again, by your groceries, you know, as so it has a good combination of people where, where here, where we do do it in combinations of people only help each other. sure. and that's a good thing. over a year ago we started what we call these labs, the soup kitchen, cuz every poor community, an american and brought like it, almost a world nowadays has some kind of free feeding, but we didn't like study. so i'm starting a little over

a year ago on christmas morning. we started feeding on sundays and we've been feeding every sunday for a year. and as you can see, we're starting a little thing here. um and it just is just trying to help our neighbors out. i mean, it is a place to congregate, a place to eat. and joe is all done by one man named lorenzo. even when he's our cook. i kind of put it together in between to, to meet him and a couple of their homes were full and put it out. you're on the streets, you know, i mean, you know, trying to change what chance and change those things out here. i'm sure you see, i mean, slides to these are please feel free meal in a bag of food is a nice thing every week. we're on out at the back of food yet, but we're trying to get bags of food too. but we do every sunday. we see before i can this lives, i was on the streets. i've been excited for 15 years. i've been in prison. i've sold drugs. i've, i've done a lot of things. and for one is i want to do something nice for somebody. so we decided feet and i mean, i cleaned up stop doing drugs and opened up a soup kitchen and my town. yeah, hands are getting bags that always taking. i mean,

everybody goes up. everybody goes up. somebody has really started early, early learning, you know, call me slow, you know, i think is like, it took 40 years or 20 years, however long it took me a long time to figure this out. but this is what makes me happy. you know, when everybody can get to play the food now and their, their smiley job job of them to me. and there may be term for a dog. you remember, we huge was the age of 1st. so the what are we the big tall. uh uh, let me see. uh, i think opening day was new year's eve and oh,

to the rain. i don't make money. you know. okay. if anything, i spend my money. the reason i've kept editors 20 years is the only thing i ever did that made a difference in the world. you know, if this wasn't here, the people that that would be quite a bit different. i think issue, you know, you look around our existence, things to check and look rather bleak things. look for this is a thing where that the humanity of the beauty of, of life comes out. the feeling of, of the or the feeling of people feeling like they're an artist as opposed to a vandal, if it affects the selective the collective self image of everybody. here we part of this, you know, even though it is adult play of the growth.

yeah. really bad actually. so my friend screwed this piece of metal on and i, when i read poxy, did you say you say that the young people wants to play? did talk to you? yeah, i learned like, uh, maybe 3 years ago now, maybe a little less than that and was, and wasn't inspiring when they were in the range. and yeah, yeah i, i said there for a year and a half or 2 years cuz i live like music. you know, so we sit in the front and i watch them and i love it. i did it in new york. you like watching music and like i can do that just like most people in the audience, you look in there and you're like, i can never do that right. i can learn how to play guitar in my fourties and they were, they, i know a single court, you know, and where there had a thing to which and the most thing i would do is like, it doesn't carry over the 2nd half of them. good half of them, and then we learn how to write songs to and we do a lot of the same time and i'm going to stand a very next to my heroes, you know,

nice to be able to bill and all these amazing towns that people that view, you know, they're also my family, all those people so they're letting me their instruments and i was like, these, me another car getting to see it isn't. yeah. now, i know like 4050 songs though, and i wrote favorite songs and they tell me that i can do that most. no, i don't know that's what brought me here. was the public car or kept me here? that the breath when i got here ignorant, i didn't know nothing about swenson but it was the public car and some of the minerals out here bloom. my my and this was that was something with things for you to stay. yeah. cause is not a lot of places who are in america where you can do this and not be criminalized. right here you can see any kind of art and it's not criminal. it's

appreciated and it's not in some phases, it becomes famous. so this is my original taxidermy dinner party that i, i did, i think it was 3 years ago when i set this up originally in there. so we've got young bucks. i'll go back and grandma back and young back is here bragging about this guy is like, oh my gosh, humans are so stupid. i was just hiding behind a tree. i'd just blasted them right in his face while he was filling up this car with gas as guy arrears. like, you know, we could add, think we research human some, you know, prostitution rings, drug rings, the homeless. there's so many places we can get people besides us and grandma, but 5 police are feed me, i'm starving. see, i will stay here as long as i'm happy here and right now, i mean, it's like a dream come true to be living here and having the amount of people that come through every day that i get to share this with and get some people
