Transcript

00:00:07:19 – 00:00:08:05
Thank you

00:00:08:05 – 00:00:11:15
for listening to part
two of our interview with Steve Down.

00:00:12:02 – 00:00:15:10
We are discussing Causeism, them
and the international offices

00:00:15:10 – 00:00:19:12
Steve has opened around the world
to support and operate his latest

00:00:19:12 – 00:00:22:12
cause company called Cause Vision.

00:00:22:12 – 00:00:24:23
Steve, let’s start with Cause Vision.

00:00:24:23 – 00:00:28:21
Why does a financial technology
initiative like Cause Vision require

00:00:28:21 – 00:00:31:09
a global footprint? Because vision

00:00:32:12 – 00:00:35:12
requires a a global vision

00:00:36:11 – 00:00:38:08
because the

00:00:38:08 – 00:00:41:01
the blockchain really knows no boundaries.

00:00:41:01 – 00:00:43:00
There are no borders.

00:00:43:00 – 00:00:45:23
The world is changing.

00:00:48:21 – 00:00:51:09
Banks are frightened,

00:00:51:09 – 00:00:54:09
and they’re finally realizing that,

00:00:54:10 – 00:00:57:12
stopping, the blockchain

00:00:57:12 – 00:01:00:12
and and, a global,

00:01:01:21 – 00:01:04:21
system of, transactions,

00:01:05:05 – 00:01:08:10
stopping that is, is equivalent to,

00:01:11:12 – 00:01:14:01
Me going down to the,

00:01:14:01 – 00:01:16:02
to the Hudson Bay,

00:01:16:02 – 00:01:19:02
the Hudson River, and extending my arm

00:01:19:05 – 00:01:22:05
to stop the waves from,

00:01:22:10 – 00:01:25:10
entering the shores of New York City.

00:01:25:21 – 00:01:28:21
And there’s no stopping it.

00:01:29:11 – 00:01:32:14
Some say the genie is out of the bottle,
there’s no returning.

00:01:33:04 – 00:01:35:04
And these

00:01:35:04 – 00:01:38:06
the tallest buildings here
in New York City have the name of a bank.

00:01:39:08 – 00:01:42:08
And they recognize
now that if they don’t change,

00:01:43:02 – 00:01:44:23
they are rapidly becoming dinosaurs.

00:01:44:23 – 00:01:48:06
And the fossil
fuel that will fuel the new.

00:01:51:07 – 00:01:54:07
Global economy,

00:01:54:07 – 00:01:57:07
where people are free to exchange money

00:01:57:17 – 00:02:00:01
without the

00:02:00:01 – 00:02:03:01
the mediation of a of a bank.

00:02:05:13 – 00:02:08:13
And that’s revolutionary.

00:02:09:11 – 00:02:12:06
That empowers the individual

00:02:12:06 – 00:02:15:11
that, that places the power in the hands

00:02:16:02 – 00:02:20:16
of the people of this,
of this planet, of this globe, this world.

00:02:21:19 – 00:02:24:19
It’s, it’s an exciting time.

00:02:26:06 – 00:02:29:10
And combine
that with artificial intelligence, where

00:02:30:04 – 00:02:32:23
it can be serviced on a global scale,

00:02:32:23 – 00:02:35:23
the the opportunities are limitless.

00:02:36:20 – 00:02:39:20
But the important thing
is that the individuals empowered

00:02:40:10 – 00:02:43:10
the power of the few.

00:02:44:05 – 00:02:47:05
The owners of the of the banks.

00:02:49:07 – 00:02:51:16
Those days are

00:02:51:16 – 00:02:54:07
will soon be in the history books,

00:02:54:07 – 00:02:58:07
as individuals are empowered
to become their own bank,

00:02:58:07 – 00:03:01:09
in a sense, to become their own bank,
or at least

00:03:02:14 – 00:03:05:14
and with every transaction.

00:03:06:13 – 00:03:07:11
There’s a give back

00:03:08:12 – 00:03:11:12
in that,

00:03:12:17 – 00:03:13:18
Basically describes

00:03:13:18 – 00:03:18:01
the vision of, of the, cars vision of,

00:03:19:01 – 00:03:21:12
of what will become
the largest digital bank in the world

00:03:21:12 – 00:03:26:21
because it will serve the individual
among the masses.

00:03:27:19 – 00:03:30:19
And it will, it will represent

00:03:31:06 – 00:03:34:06
freedom and empowerment to the individual,

00:03:35:05 – 00:03:38:09
regardless of where they live,
where they live in Africa

00:03:39:06 – 00:03:42:06
or the Asia.

00:03:43:03 – 00:03:44:23
Europe,

00:03:44:23 – 00:03:45:05
North.

00:03:45:05 – 00:03:48:14
South America, regardless
of which continent you reside on,

00:03:49:02 – 00:03:52:01
you are empowered and you have freedom.

00:03:53:04 – 00:03:56:04
And that’s the future of finance.

00:03:56:11 – 00:03:59:11
That’s the future of our economy.

00:04:00:12 – 00:04:04:21
Some people are resisting
the idea of a world economy.

00:04:04:21 – 00:04:07:21
Well, it’s it’s already happening.

00:04:08:12 – 00:04:11:12
It’s, it’s happening as I’m speaking.

00:04:11:22 – 00:04:15:02
And but the most important thing is

00:04:15:02 – 00:04:19:00
that it’s not governments and billionaires
that are empowered.

00:04:19:13 – 00:04:20:18
It’s the individual.

00:04:22:01 – 00:04:25:01
It’s people like you and me,

00:04:25:01 – 00:04:28:01
empowered through the blockchain,

00:04:28:07 – 00:04:31:16
through artificial intelligence and

00:04:32:20 – 00:04:36:01
and where
we become our own personal banker.

00:04:36:23 – 00:04:41:03
How much of your international presence
is driven by Coors Vision specifically?

00:04:41:06 – 00:04:45:23
Everything we do as an organization,
the causes vision is about practicing

00:04:46:17 – 00:04:49:17
Causeism, and improving to the world

00:04:50:23 – 00:04:53:01
that there’s a new ism.

00:04:53:01 – 00:04:56:01
We have socialism, capitalism.

00:04:56:02 – 00:04:58:10
And now we have causeism

00:04:58:10 – 00:05:01:10
and Causeism and will change the world.

00:05:01:15 – 00:05:04:15
And it’s time for a change. Why?

00:05:04:23 – 00:05:07:15
Because,

00:05:07:15 – 00:05:11:04
I’m, my citizenship is in a nation
that’s divided,

00:05:12:10 – 00:05:15:08
divided between

00:05:15:08 – 00:05:18:08
parties, ideologies

00:05:19:04 – 00:05:22:12
and what can bring everyone together

00:05:23:09 – 00:05:28:04
is a new isn’t, which is Causeism
which is transactional.

00:05:28:04 – 00:05:31:04
Meaning that every time you

00:05:31:21 – 00:05:34:04
buy or spend

00:05:34:04 – 00:05:37:10
that a nonprofit organization is receiving

00:05:38:02 – 00:05:41:17
based on a premise,
or a principle that’s been taught for

00:05:42:16 – 00:05:43:08
thousands of

00:05:43:08 – 00:05:47:06
years, particularly
in the past 2000 years, and a principle

00:05:47:06 – 00:05:51:07
found in the most widely published books
in the world, Give and You Shall Receive.

00:05:52:01 – 00:05:54:11
It’s an economic principle.

00:05:54:11 – 00:05:57:11
All principles are spiritual and

00:05:58:17 – 00:06:01:17
so it is with economic principles

00:06:02:02 – 00:06:03:09
and Causeism.

00:06:03:09 – 00:06:06:09
Is the new economic principle

00:06:06:19 – 00:06:09:06
that will bring the world together.

00:06:09:06 – 00:06:13:14
And I’ve dedicated the remaining days
of my life to demonstrating

00:06:14:11 – 00:06:17:11
to you and to the world

00:06:17:22 – 00:06:20:18
that we can become more compassionate

00:06:20:18 – 00:06:23:18
in business and in our spending.

00:06:25:17 – 00:06:29:07
Every expenditure
typically is self-serving.

00:06:29:23 – 00:06:32:12
Well, what if you could serve yourself?

00:06:32:12 – 00:06:37:15
But while you serve yourself, you’re
also serving others much better than that.

00:06:38:16 – 00:06:41:20
And when, as we do it on a global scale,
we make a difference.

00:06:42:21 – 00:06:44:10
So as we live in a world where.

00:06:46:15 – 00:06:48:10
Based on what we see on the internet

00:06:48:10 – 00:06:51:10
every day, we see a lot of despair.

00:06:52:05 – 00:06:55:02
And I believe the number one thing
that’s lacking, the resource

00:06:55:02 – 00:06:58:09
that’s lacking around
the world, is common in every nation.

00:07:00:19 – 00:07:03:05
Is hope

00:07:03:05 – 00:07:06:03
and the cause vision

00:07:06:03 – 00:07:10:15
of Causeism is a message of hope
to this this world.

00:07:10:15 – 00:07:14:14
It’s,
It’s a beam of light and it’s it’s light

00:07:15:03 – 00:07:18:15
that will be, dispersing the darkness

00:07:18:15 – 00:07:22:06
around this planet economically and

00:07:23:07 – 00:07:26:07
all economic principles
or spiritual principles

00:07:27:00 – 00:07:31:21
when, when some cannot eat
or live an adequate shelter

00:07:32:10 – 00:07:36:04
or receive adequate medical attention
when needed,

00:07:37:18 – 00:07:39:16
that’s a problem.

00:07:39:16 – 00:07:42:13
And and those who lack,

00:07:42:13 – 00:07:45:10
many of those people
are in a place of despair.

00:07:45:10 – 00:07:48:10
Anyone who has lacked
the basic needs of life

00:07:49:01 – 00:07:51:20
at any time in their lives,
they understand what I’m talking about.

00:07:55:18 – 00:07:57:00
And so

00:07:57:00 – 00:08:00:00
the cause vision is,

00:08:01:13 – 00:08:05:02
Is a vision that I can dedicate
the remaining days of my life to

00:08:05:02 – 00:08:09:03
because I know it will make a difference
for my children, my grandchildren,

00:08:09:18 – 00:08:12:15
and for my brothers and sisters

00:08:12:15 – 00:08:15:15
and their children around the.

00:08:16:10 – 00:08:17:20
It’s built on them.

00:08:17:20 – 00:08:19:20
The idea

00:08:19:20 – 00:08:21:18
that we have responsibility

00:08:21:18 – 00:08:24:17
for each other’s well-being.

00:08:25:01 – 00:08:27:20
As members of the same human family,

00:08:27:20 – 00:08:30:09
the brothers and sisters.

00:08:30:09 – 00:08:33:15
And I don’t know why that that philosophy.

00:08:36:18 – 00:08:39:18
Isn’t practiced on a global scale

00:08:40:20 – 00:08:43:05
is difficult for me to understand.

00:08:43:05 – 00:08:46:12
What are you seeing
globally that most people in the U.S.

00:08:46:12 – 00:08:48:17
don’t see yet?

00:08:48:17 – 00:08:51:19
Vienna,
citizen of the United States of America.

00:08:52:20 – 00:08:55:20
And having live now in several nations

00:08:56:05 – 00:08:58:21
around the world,

00:08:58:21 – 00:09:01:21
I realize how really

00:09:02:13 – 00:09:04:02
narrow minded,

00:09:05:02 – 00:09:06:07
I was living in

00:09:06:07 – 00:09:09:12
America as a typical American,

00:09:10:08 – 00:09:14:04
the world doesn’t exist outside
of the United States of America.

00:09:14:20 – 00:09:20:13
Now, the United States of America
is a great place, and it’s easy to become

00:09:20:13 – 00:09:25:09
complacent in such a in an amazing nation
as the United States of America.

00:09:26:03 – 00:09:29:03
But what I’ve discovered
is that there’s also other great nations.

00:09:31:03 – 00:09:34:08
There are many amazing nations
on this planet,

00:09:35:03 – 00:09:38:09
and if you want to capitalize

00:09:39:01 – 00:09:42:01
on opportunity,

00:09:42:01 – 00:09:44:07
think globally.

00:09:44:07 – 00:09:47:05
Don’t think of the, you know,
and of course,

00:09:47:05 – 00:09:50:07
it depends on your goals and visions
and dreams.

00:09:51:08 – 00:09:54:14
You can be, you can live a great life by,

00:09:55:06 – 00:09:59:02
by selling carpet in, in your hometown.

00:09:59:18 – 00:10:02:10
I don’t belittle that.

00:10:02:10 – 00:10:04:01
Whenever you serve you. Yeah.

00:10:04:01 – 00:10:04:18
You’re blessed.

00:10:04:18 – 00:10:08:18
And and if you, do business,

00:10:08:18 – 00:10:12:05
right,
everyone benefits in the transaction.

00:10:13:06 – 00:10:15:07
But if you want to,

00:10:15:07 – 00:10:18:10
if you want to expand your boundaries

00:10:18:10 – 00:10:21:10
as far as wealth goes, think globally.

00:10:21:14 – 00:10:24:13
Don’t think in terms of the, of serving,

00:10:24:18 – 00:10:29:01
what 350 million people
might be thinking and,

00:10:29:18 – 00:10:32:18
or think in terms of serving the planet.

00:10:33:04 – 00:10:37:03
And, and that’s what we intend to do,
and we believe that we have,

00:10:37:20 – 00:10:42:02
if you if you’re frustrated by problems
in the world, I hear a lot of complaining

00:10:42:11 – 00:10:45:02
as I’m, back in America

00:10:45:02 – 00:10:48:02
for a short while,
I hear a lot of complaining.

00:10:48:04 – 00:10:50:16
And for business people,

00:10:50:16 – 00:10:52:23
these are opportunities.

00:10:52:23 – 00:10:56:06
Whenever there’s a frustration
in the marketplace, we’ll capitalize

00:10:56:06 – 00:10:59:14
on it, solve the problem,
and you create wealth.

00:11:01:00 – 00:11:04:12
And we’re simply solving world problems

00:11:05:02 – 00:11:09:22
when it becomes when it comes
to, for example, unequal banking

00:11:09:22 – 00:11:13:16
opportunities around the planet
for solving global problems.

00:11:14:20 – 00:11:17:14
But along with that, with Causeism,

00:11:17:14 – 00:11:20:14
we’re also feeding the hungry

00:11:20:15 – 00:11:24:23
and providing medical for those in need.

00:11:25:18 – 00:11:28:17
With the the Goat Foundation in Africa

00:11:28:19 – 00:11:32:04
Giving Hope by Giving Goats,
which is one of our nonprofit

00:11:32:04 – 00:11:35:04
organizations
that we actually have founded,

00:11:35:15 – 00:11:39:01
and also the Cause Children’s Hospital,

00:11:39:09 – 00:11:42:09
which we hope to soon break ground on.

00:11:42:22 – 00:11:44:19
In, in Kenya, Africa,

00:11:44:19 – 00:11:47:19
one out of six children die before their

00:11:48:08 – 00:11:50:01
five years of age.

00:11:50:01 – 00:11:52:20
When our children die before
they’re five years old,

00:11:52:20 – 00:11:55:23
have you never been to a doctor
or a hospital in their short lives?

00:11:56:06 – 00:11:57:08
In the villages,

00:11:57:08 – 00:12:01:00
30% of the newborn babies do not live
to see their second day of life

00:12:02:04 – 00:12:05:04
over a 30% infant mortality rate.

00:12:05:12 – 00:12:07:13
Now, those are problems.

00:12:07:13 – 00:12:11:06
Those are problems that that
we should feel a responsibility to solve.

00:12:11:06 – 00:12:13:13
Because these are human beings.

00:12:13:13 – 00:12:15:20
These are our brothers
and sisters in Africa.

00:12:20:11 – 00:12:22:09
And it just

00:12:22:09 – 00:12:26:16
so happens that by solving that problem,
we’re also building a global,

00:12:26:16 – 00:12:30:17
what we believe will become
the largest digital bank in the world.

00:12:30:17 – 00:12:33:17
Because as a byproduct of banking,

00:12:34:05 – 00:12:37:05
we will solve these problems
in a way that’s sustainable.

00:12:37:19 – 00:12:40:19
That’s what’s amazing about.

00:12:41:11 – 00:12:44:14
Causeism,
is that you don’t run out of money,

00:12:46:00 – 00:12:48:03
particularly other people’s money.

00:12:48:03 – 00:12:51:03
I’ve noticed how benevolent.

00:12:51:23 – 00:12:54:23
Governments
have been in the United States of America

00:12:55:01 – 00:12:58:05
with other people’s money and

00:12:59:18 – 00:13:01:06
and since it’s other people’s money,

00:13:01:06 – 00:13:04:06
they don’t treat it like it’s their money.

00:13:04:11 – 00:13:08:14
And what makes Causeism them different
is that you’re able

00:13:08:14 – 00:13:11:23
to choose the nonprofit partner
that you’re giving to.

00:13:11:23 – 00:13:17:02
When it comes to, for example,
the the cause card, for every transaction,

00:13:17:02 – 00:13:20:02
up to 3% goes
to the nonprofit organization

00:13:20:06 – 00:13:22:20
of your choice, not mine.

00:13:22:20 – 00:13:25:19
Pre-Approved by us, but of your choice.

00:13:26:03 – 00:13:27:05
If you don’t choose one,

00:13:28:09 – 00:13:31:06
then that up to 3% goes to the cause.

00:13:31:06 – 00:13:36:02
Children’s hospital with a vision
of building 200 children’s and maternity

00:13:36:02 – 00:13:39:02
hospitals, 200

00:13:39:03 – 00:13:42:08
children’s and maternity
hospitals in the next 20 years.

00:13:42:14 – 00:13:45:09
No, I’m not talking about clinics

00:13:45:09 – 00:13:47:12
where children go in and

00:13:47:12 – 00:13:51:10
and they are returned to their family
in a wooden plane box.

00:13:53:08 – 00:13:56:08
But I’m talking about modern hospitals

00:13:56:22 – 00:13:59:18
where children’s lives are saved,
where young mothers

00:13:59:18 – 00:14:02:18
lives are saved.

00:14:04:01 – 00:14:06:06
So I’d like to invite you to join

00:14:06:06 – 00:14:09:06
with me and to think globally.

00:14:09:11 – 00:14:12:03
If that doesn’t make sense to you,
then participate

00:14:12:03 – 00:14:15:18
as a consumer in companies
that think globally,

00:14:17:04 – 00:14:19:19
that will bless the people.

00:14:19:19 – 00:14:22:19
You know,
all the families of this, of this world.

00:14:24:12 – 00:14:26:02
If you have a choice, why not?

00:14:26:02 – 00:14:28:12
Why wouldn’t you? And if you

00:14:29:11 – 00:14:30:16
embrace the philosophy of

00:14:30:16 – 00:14:33:19
Causeism, then I’m here to tell you
that you’ll make more money.

00:14:34:19 – 00:14:37:03
You’ll make more money.

00:14:37:03 – 00:14:39:11
Participating in Causeism them

00:14:39:11 – 00:14:41:22
than you would by not participating.

00:14:41:22 – 00:14:46:06
So that if you’re a pure capitalist,
where bottom line is, everything,

00:14:47:06 – 00:14:50:06
then I invite you to participate
in Causeism.

00:14:51:14 – 00:14:53:10
Do different parts of the world
think about

00:14:53:10 – 00:14:56:09
money, opportunity or impact differently?

00:14:56:11 – 00:15:01:06
I’ve been asked if other nations,
think differently about,

00:15:02:03 – 00:15:05:19
making money, creating wealth impact

00:15:05:19 – 00:15:08:19
and so forth as, as I do.

00:15:09:11 – 00:15:14:02
And, I believe that the entire world
is in a is in a deep sleep.

00:15:14:21 – 00:15:18:18
Not because they’re they’re lazy or.

00:15:22:05 – 00:15:25:05
I think people are busy

00:15:25:15 – 00:15:28:15
and they have been mesmerized by

00:15:29:11 – 00:15:31:14
by getting through their daily lives.

00:15:31:14 – 00:15:32:21
They wake up in the morning

00:15:33:21 – 00:15:37:13
and they prepare for work.

00:15:37:13 – 00:15:39:06
They go to work.

00:15:39:06 – 00:15:43:22
They commute, work their eight hours
commute back home.

00:15:44:12 – 00:15:47:09
They’re tired, and they end their day

00:15:47:09 – 00:15:50:09
on social media or television.

00:15:50:11 – 00:15:53:18
And it’s easy to become, mesmerized

00:15:54:10 – 00:15:57:06
just by daily living.

00:15:57:06 – 00:15:59:20
We’ve all seen the bumper sticker
I, oh, I,

00:15:59:20 – 00:16:02:20
oh, so after work, I go

00:16:03:17 – 00:16:06:19
and,
and I think that describes the world.

00:16:06:19 – 00:16:10:05
I think the world’s in a deep sleep
when it comes to

00:16:11:14 – 00:16:14:14
not only opportunity,

00:16:14:22 – 00:16:17:22
the opportunities
that surround them in this new

00:16:18:01 – 00:16:21:01
global economy.

00:16:21:12 – 00:16:23:19
But I think they’re

00:16:23:19 – 00:16:26:08
they don’t know how they can help others.

00:16:26:08 – 00:16:29:00
And they’re not even, I know

00:16:29:00 – 00:16:32:00
many of my American friends are.

00:16:32:20 – 00:16:35:20
Are not even aware of or even concerned

00:16:36:11 – 00:16:40:06
about those around the world
who are people just like us.

00:16:40:18 – 00:16:44:01
They feel the same way we do in Africa.

00:16:45:07 – 00:16:45:21
I’ve had the

00:16:45:21 – 00:16:48:21
opportunity of speaking at a funeral of

00:16:50:01 – 00:16:52:23
a newborn baby girl, Roselle,

00:16:52:23 – 00:16:56:12
and one thing I recognize
is that these people suffer.

00:16:57:06 – 00:16:59:18
I think even more than

00:16:59:18 – 00:17:03:09
than we do as Americans when they lose
a loved one because it’s all they have.

00:17:04:22 – 00:17:08:07
Family is all they have, and.

00:17:10:14 – 00:17:12:01
But I believe that,

00:17:12:01 – 00:17:17:01
the world is about to wake up
to the idea of Causeism,

00:17:17:01 – 00:17:21:06
and, the global economy
that they can participate in.

00:17:21:06 – 00:17:24:00
Because I’m here to tell you, I,
I truly believe this.

00:17:24:00 – 00:17:29:13
I’m here to tell you that everyone on
this planet can live a life of abundance.

00:17:29:21 – 00:17:32:21
Call it wealth.

00:17:33:09 – 00:17:35:19
Call it whatever you want to call it.

00:17:35:19 – 00:17:38:19
But I believe as human beings,

00:17:39:03 – 00:17:41:14
we all have an opportunity

00:17:41:14 – 00:17:45:15
and a right to to have everything that we.

00:17:47:23 – 00:17:49:12
Desire, want and

00:17:49:12 – 00:17:52:17
need because the resources are available.

00:17:52:17 – 00:17:55:17
I, I just drove from Los Angeles to,

00:17:56:05 – 00:17:58:22
to the,

00:17:58:22 – 00:18:04:00
the furthest northern part of California,
and it reminded me.

00:18:04:00 – 00:18:07:03
And when I’ve heard people say that
California alone

00:18:07:03 – 00:18:10:03
could feed the entire planet

00:18:10:06 – 00:18:12:13
on this, in this world.

00:18:12:13 – 00:18:16:18
And if you if you travel from coast
to coast anywhere, including Africa,

00:18:17:11 – 00:18:20:11
you’ll find that
every continent is unpopulated.

00:18:21:05 – 00:18:23:16
No, we’re not overpopulated.

00:18:23:16 – 00:18:27:00
And and there’s not
a scarcity of resources.

00:18:27:23 – 00:18:28:22
That’s all manmade.

00:18:28:22 – 00:18:31:22
That’s scarcity thinking.
That’s ridiculous.

00:18:32:00 – 00:18:34:17
It’s absurd.

00:18:34:17 – 00:18:37:12
There is enough and despair

00:18:37:12 – 00:18:40:12
for every human being

00:18:40:16 – 00:18:43:15
to live a life of abundance

00:18:43:15 – 00:18:49:10
and I believe that Causeism is
has that message.

00:18:49:10 – 00:18:53:22
And it’s a message
that the world is starving to hear about.

00:18:55:02 – 00:18:59:05
And if not now, when

00:19:00:00 – 00:19:03:00
and if not, if it’s not me who?

00:19:03:11 – 00:19:05:20
I’m a 69 year old businessman,

00:19:05:20 – 00:19:10:05
and I think the I think the word
retirement is one of the biggest frauds

00:19:10:21 – 00:19:13:21
that has been perpetuated
among the American people.

00:19:13:21 – 00:19:15:10
It’s ridiculous. Stop serving.

00:19:15:10 – 00:19:17:11
You start, you start dying.

00:19:17:11 – 00:19:21:21
And,
my legacy is I want to exemplify Causeism,

00:19:22:10 – 00:19:24:22
and demonstrate to the world

00:19:24:22 – 00:19:27:22
that there is enough and despair.

00:19:27:22 – 00:19:30:02
And by giving, you will receive.

00:19:30:02 – 00:19:35:00
It’s an economic principle that’s not
taught by economic professors who teach

00:19:36:03 – 00:19:39:03
a philosophy of a scarcity of resources.

00:19:39:18 – 00:19:44:05
I want to, live and teach by example
and precept

00:19:45:06 – 00:19:48:06
that by giving, you receive more.

00:19:49:04 – 00:19:52:16
That’s an amazing principle,
and no one can explain it.

00:19:53:06 – 00:19:54:15
You just have to live it.

00:19:54:15 – 00:19:59:00
And then you know that
the principle is a true principle.
