Embrace accountability and take business risks under your own name
Society will reward you with responsibility, equity, and leverage
To get rich, you're gonna need leverage
Leverage comes in labor, it comes in capital, or it can come through code or media
But most of these, like labor and capital, people have to give to you
For labor, somebody has to follow you
For capital, somebody has to give you money or assets to manage or machines
So to get these things, you have to build up credibility and you have to do those under your own name as much as possible, which is risky
Which is risky
So accountability is a double-edged thing
It allows you to take credit when things go well and to bear the brunt of the failure when things go badly

Business to me is bottom of the barrel
There's no actual skill called business
It's too generic of a thing
It's like a skill called relating, like relating to humans, that's not a skill, it's too broad
So a lot of what goes on in business is essentially just anecdotes
They call it case studies, but it just anecdotes
And they're trying to help you pattern match by throwing lots of data points at you, but the reality is, you will never understand them fully until you're actually in that position yourself
(Until you're actually in that position yourself)
[Chorus]
You can always learn better by doing it on the job
By doing it on the job
By doing it on the job
You can always learn better by doing it on the job
By doing it on the job
By doing it on the job
There's no actual skill called business

By doing it on the job

The five most important skills are
Reading, writing, arithmetic, persuasion, which is talking, and then finally, I would add computer programming
If you're good with computers
If you're good at basic mathematics
If you're good at writing
If you're good at speaking, and if you like reading
[Chorus]
You're set for life
You're set for life
You're set for life
You're set for life

You're set for life
You're set for life
You're set for life

There's a war on consciousness
There's a war on consciousness
There's a war on consciousness
There's a war on consciousness
Let's not forget
That ayahuasca is not alone
That it's part of an ancient worldwide system of the targeted, careful, responsible alteration of consciousness
It's recently been shown that the Kykeon used in the Eleusinian Mysteries in ancient Greece was almost certainly a psychedelic brew
That the Soma of the Vedas may well have been a brew based upon the amanita muscaria mushroom, we have the DMT in the ancient Egyptian Tree of Life, we have the whole global cultures of surviving Shamanism and what it's all about is a state of consciousness that's designed to help us find balance, harmony
The ancient Egyptians would have called it; Maat with the universe and to remain mindful that what we're here to undertake on earth while immersed in matter is fundamentally a spiritual journey aimed at the growth and perfection of the soul
A journey that may go back to the very origins of what made us human in the first place
Human in the first place
(Human in the first place)

Look, what's happening in the Amazon
The lungs of our planet
This precious home of biodiversity
The old girl's rainforests being cut down and replaced with soya bean farms so we can feed cattle so that we can all eat hamburgers
Only a truly insane global state of consciousness could allow such an abomination to occur
I did a back of an envelope calculation during the Iraq war It seems to me that six months expenditure on the Iraq war would have solved the problem of the Amazon forever
Sufficient to compensate the peoples of the Amazon so that no single tree ever needed to be cut down again
To gardening it and then look after the amazing resources
We can't make that decision as a global community
We can spend countless billions on warfare, on hatred, on fear, on suspicion, on division, but we can't get together the collected effort to save the lungs of our planet
[Chorus]
The message of ayahuasca
Is about the sacred, magical, enchanted, infinite, precious nature of life on Earth
Nature of life on Earth
Nature of life on Earth
Nature of life on Earth
The message of ayahuasca
The universal message
Is about the sacred, magical, enchanted, infinite, precious nature of life on Earth
Nature of life on Earth
Nature of life on Earth
Nature of life on Earth
The lungs of our planet
This precious home of biodiversity
