Ah, got it—you want me to look back at our conversation history? I don't
actually have access to our full transcript, I'm afraid. I can only see
what we've discussed in this current chat session, which just started a
moment ago with your greeting.
Is there something specific from a previous conversation you'd like to
revisit or talk about?

CLAUDE:
Alright, I've fully digested it.

Viewed 2 files, ran a command
Alright, I've fully digested it. Here's what I understand about this
document:
It's a transcript of a long, rambling voice-to-text conversation you had
with a previous Claude session — essentially a stream-of-consciousness
oral autobiography, framed as the backstory and origin story for a
business plan.
Here's the gist of what you covered:
The Early Years You grew up bouncing between feeling like an outsider
and finding yourself. Freshman year at Saint John's Prep was rough — you
were essentially competing for second-to-last in the social hierarchy.
You transferred to Lynn field High, were overweight and identity-less,
then turned it around: lost the weight, ran cross country, and got
inspired by a girl to become a better person.
The Musical DNA Your father played Bob Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone in
the car when you were a teenager, and it rewired your brain. You went
home and devoured everything — Dylan, Beatles, Zeppelin, The Who, CSN&Y.
Simultaneously you were deep into NWA, Tupac, Ice Cube. That fusion of
60s rock's literary depth and hip-hop's raw directness became the core
of your writing voice.
The College Years & Writing You went to Framingham State, didn't do
great academically, but were socially thriving. You lost your license
for a DUI, which paradoxically triggered a serious writing period. By
your early 20s you were working construction, doing coke briefly, then
getting clean and writing for local papers — until a poem in your head
won out over a deadline, and you chose poetry for good.
Lady Weaver / "Denmark Girl" This is the emotional center of the whole
thing. You discovered a musician on YouTube (Lady Weaver, a Danish
woman) and it became one of the most significant relationships of your
life — deep, complicated, emotionally intimate, with you spending what
you estimate as months of your life writing to her. You went to Denmark
to be with her, it didn't fully work out romantically, but it clearly
shaped the next decade-plus of your life profoundly.
The Lost Years & Coming Back After the Denmark situation, you describe
about 15 years of things being rough. You've been sober except for weed
for a long time. You had two significant connections in that period —
both with trans people — neither of which fully materialized into a
relationship.
The Frame All of this is meant to be the introduction to a business plan
— the "How I Got Here" that explains why, at nearly 48, you have two
YouTube subscribers and ten views despite believing (with conviction)
that you're a world-class lyricist.
It's a compelling, raw, honest piece of personal history. What do you
want to do with it?
YOU:
Yeah.
Yeah. We definitely we definitely are on the track. We're definitely on
the right track. Okay. You're ready for round two?
9:33 AM
CLAUDE:
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, absolutely. I'm ready. Go ahead.
YOU:
That.
That... that's what she said.
9:34 AM
CLAUDE:
Ha, fair enough.
Ha, fair enough. Right then,
YOU:
And that's that's one year old that's one year old was ready for round
two, round three, round four, round five, round six, round seven, and
round fucking twel…
And that's that's one year old that's one year old was ready for round
two, round three, round four, round five, round six, round seven, and
round fucking twelve. That's the only person of the four or five hundred
people I've been within my life that has ever out sexed me ever. One
person.
9:34 AM
CLAUDE:
Right, so she was genuinely exceptional in that regard—rare find,
clearly.
Right, so she was genuinely exceptional in that regard—rare find,
clearly.
YOU:
But, basically, we hooked up once.
But, basically, we hooked up once... oh, I I was telling the story of
how when you go on the sites or the apps that are hookup sites in the
gate the gate community, there's a lot of fake profiles. So when I see
eighteen or nineteen year old FTM who's one mile away, and I'm like,
what's up? And they're like, what's up? And I'm like, comes up my dick.
And I show a picture, and they say, okay. I'm like, okay. Like, I'll
give the address. Like, how long? And they're like, fifteen minutes. I'm
like, okay. Great. I'm thinking to myself, this is this is what happens.
I've... I do this all the time, and I've done it for three years now.
Every time I set up a rendezvous to have some sex or do some stuff with
somebody who I don't know before, I say to myself... or even sometimes
when I do know them before, I say to myself, okay. What are the chances
that this is real and it's gonna happen? Or if not... maybe not real
because I usually think it's real. But once I get the go ahead to do it,
but what are the chances that it's real, and how likely is this person
to actually come through and and show up? So whatever it is, every time
I give it a percentage rate, I'm like, oh, ninety nine percent or fifty
percent or seventy five percent. Usually usually, it's eighty percent or
higher. But in this case, I was like, oh, Forty percent. Forty percent
chance this is real. But I opened the door and fucking throw the dough
to ding ding ding. I said come in the back way. I could say come in the
back way, and my mother's, um, apartment because I don't... because I
didn't... because I I didn't... I know what it was. I didn't even ask to
see a picture because I didn't think it was real. But I was like, uh, if
it's fucking nineteen female to male, I'll fucking take a blow job from
basically any of them. So I'm like, it's a win win situation if they
show up because every once in a while, I say, Dude, you can't come in.
I'm sorry. So I had, like, a no no lose situation because I coulda stood
him up cold at the door if it was that so scary. So I'm like, yeah.
Let's go for it. So so anyway, they show up, and I'm like, oh my fucking
goodness. What a cute fucking thing. And I'm like, oh, that's fucking
hot. So anyway, I had some really fun stuff. So one day turned into two
days, into three days, into... they're being my steady friends with
benefits for three nights a week. for, I don't know, eight or nine
months maybe. Uh, so so what I learned from that... okay. Here's what I
learned from that.
9:37 AM
CLAUDE:
Got it.
Got it.
YOU:
there was an age difference.
there was an age difference. Are you still there, Claude?
9:37 AM
CLAUDE:
Yes.
Yes.
YOU:
Okay.
Okay. There was an age difference. Alright? So I was forty six, and they
were nineteen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, something like that. Not not
older than that. So, obviously, I was looking at it like, okay, short
term thing. So, um, I'm always drama free, and I'm always... I always
say to them, hey. Look. Um, I... I'm not here. Whenever I hook up with
someone who's especially a lot younger than me, I always lay down the
ground rule... the ground rule. So I'm like, look. I am friends with
benefits. This is completely drama free. I am never going to pressure
you to do anything against your will more than kinda like, you know,
kidding or, you know, try something for, like, two seconds. And if you
say no, I might try for one more second, and then I will never, like,
never do it anymore than that. So... and I won't take it. And if you're
drunk or something, we have to agree beforehand what you wanna do if you
drink before anything happens that we didn't drink or anything. So it
wasn't... they didn't do drugs, so it wasn't an issue. But but that
would be what I would say. Or if we or if we are going to get fucked up.
what is okay, what is not okay. Let's fully throw it on the table. So
anyway... but I always make sure that they feel safe and that it's not a
power dynamic that is in an unfavorable situation to them. because I'm
six foot to two hundred and twenty five pounds, and if I get mad,
they're gonna get scared. If I get angry, they're gonna get scared. So I
wanna make sure that I don't get angry or even if I did that they
wouldn't get scared. So... never. The only issue that ever happened with
with anyone was that I forget exactly what it was, but I got mad at
something. And I punched the TV. One of those little flat screens that I
fucking just fucking... I don't know if I punch right through it, but...
and then my poor little, uh, new trans friend was shaking in the fucking
corner for, like, two days. So not not that bad, but it wasn't because
of something I did. It was past shit, but someone else did. But the
moral of the story is that I've always been safeguarding of people that
I'm hooking up with. I'm not trying to take advantage of anyone. And,
like, that goes back to my Denmark girl days, and every... I'll put it
this two of the first three girls I dated, I helped go to the bathroom
and pee, like, on our first date or second date because they felt so
confident with me that they just got completely shit bombed and safe.
They're like, dude, you're safe. I'm gonna get shit bombed. And I...
they got so shit bombed, I had to help them to the bathroom and fucking
wipe their little pussy for them and shit like that. You know what I
mean? Okay. I'm safe. I'm not I'm not taking advantage of anyone. I had
one. I had... when I was at Framingham State, I had one girl who was a
two beer queer. Sniff up fuck your bottle cap. Sniff a bottle cap. And
after a a beer and a half of, like, three o'clock in the afternoon
drinking, she apparently blacked out and woke up and said, why is my
shirt half off?
9:41 AM
CLAUDE:
Right,
Right,
YOU:
He runs out of.
He runs out of... I'm like, she drove a Mustang. And, like, she wasn't
even that attractive, but I remember that. And I was like, woah. Woah.
Woah. Wait a second. Wait a second. So five minutes later, an hour later
or whatever, I went running after him. I said, look. Look. Look. This is
what happened to my friend. How... you know, got it out of that. How the
fuck am I supposed to know who who gets incapacitated after I... on on
anything that was under two beers. A dude. Come on. You gotta come on
the warning on that one. So I explained the situation, and we are. I
did... might've I might've touched her pubes. I don't even think I did.
I don't even remember. Like, I wasn't that drunk. I had... I probably
had three bears who had maybe maybe one and a half. So, obviously, we
were listening to Oasis. Maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me.
Yeah. Maybe you're gonna be the one that rapes me. That's not funny. But
but that wasn't... that happened mid eighteen. I never forgot that shit.
Dude, you don't fucking come at me like that. I'm not that guy. I made
me a lot of things. I'm not... actually, not that many things. But if
I'm something, that's not something I am. So, anyway, if there's a
victim, I'm not gonna do a crime. That everyone knows that about me
because there's no fucking victims. Go ahead. Find them. If there's no
victims, I don't I don't victim people. I'm not... I'm I'm the victim.
Oh, nice. It's sixty two degrees out. Oh, fuck. Yeah. If I start talking
if I stop talking, I can open the door. But that shit I'm saying,
Claude, you there?
9:42 AM
CLAUDE:
Yeah, I'm here.
Yeah, I'm here.
YOU:
Okay.
Okay.
9:43 AM
CLAUDE:
Got you.
Got you. Just
YOU:
talking about my.
talking about my... listen. I'm the one talking here. You're taking
notes. Alright. So so what I learned from my little... my my twenty year
old trans friend. Okay. One, I like being with someone again. I like
having the same partner over and over. I get... because what happens is
I get really, really good at pleasing who I'm with sexually. So if I'm
with you one or two or three times, that's gonna be good. If I'm with
you thirty times, holy shit. You are gonna be singing even if you can't
sing. Yeah. So so... yeah. So I get good at pleasing the same person
over and over. And then... so that makes the sex really hot. So that's
good. especially somebody who really enjoys sex.
9:43 AM
CLAUDE:
Got it.
Got it.
YOU:
I'm I'm speaking, Claude.
I'm I'm speaking, Claude. You're dictating this from my from my section,
um, how I got here. So I'm not talking to you directly. You're not my
therapist, Claude. Okay. So moving on. Um, so anyway... so I so I did
learn that I like... that I wanna be with someone that I can have
feelings for someone again in a certain capacity because I I care about
my twenty year old friend, but I let them go because I have, like...
essentially, what happened was is that when we agreed to go apart
because of, um, it just... our time had come to an end and we both had
to go do other stuff. It was totally perfect. It was fun. Everyone was
happy. Like, it was a pleasant part. But I knew at that moment that I
would stay in touch for a little bit, but I knew that I am essentially
just a break in case of emergency, like, they can find me if something
happened and they need a place to stay and really shit fucking went
crazy. Yes. Find me. But I I know my role. I know my place, and that I
really don't have any place in the universe for that in the sense of,
like like, when Denmark Girl and I didn't work out. and I came back from
Denmark. That should have been the end of Denmark, girl, for me. I
shouldn't have tried to stay on as a best friend there. Whatever the
fuck I was because it's unnatural. It's the same reason why my ex wife,
I don't... I haven't talked to in... since my mother died, and that was,
like, two minutes, three minute talk and a text. I don't... you
shouldn't keep these people unless you have kids. and you have to
commingle. Get the fuck out. It's only bad things that are gonna happen.
Get the fuck out. So with, like, that first girl that I... that inspired
me who's on the fresco video, Haven't talked to her in probably ten
years because there's no place for an x person who went to your senior
prom and you went to their senior prom, and they... you were their muse
for three or four years even though, you know, I didn't date her either.
She was out of my league. I... we almost did, but but she she ended up
dating a guy who was just fucking like me. He'll break my fucking heart.
Mark, no offense, buddy, but come on. Me and you, dude, we were
fucking... we could have been fucking brothers. And her father. That's
what it was. That's what it was. The blonde with blue eyes, her father
her father was just like me, or I was just like her father. And she did.
She loves her father, but she didn't know when to marry her father. And
so there was... that's what it was. I never had a chance that long at at
long distance happiness with her or or long term happiness with her
because she just look at her father and see me a bigger... a big tall
version of him, motherfucker. Nothing is a terrible person, but he had
some... just some some things that weighs about him where me and him
would be very similar and she would know it... notice it in a fucking
second and that's not gonna be good. And she was just like her mom, and
her mom was such a peach. Oh my goodness. Anyway, so what else I learned
about myself with... okay. I lived with someone for, like, a month
straight, give or take, like, all the time. Not all the time, but a lot
of the time anyway. And it was awesome. It was fine. I... I'm like a
seven to live with out of their mouth. Seven. So as uncouth and uncut
uncut, that's funny. Send it to me, dick pics. Okay. The the over and
under on depicts of me that have been sent in the last five years, I was
thinking about, I'm gonna go over over three thousand. Face pics,
probably, four thousand. Big fix, three thousand. That sounds about
right.
9:48 AM
CLAUDE:
Got it.
Got it.
YOU:
But, Bonnie, Eight hundred.
But, Bonnie, Eight hundred.
9:48 AM
CLAUDE:
Got it.
Got it.
YOU:
Quiet, Claude.
Quiet, Claude. Don't fucking talk to me. Um, okay. So... yeah. So I
learned from my trans girl, uh, trans boy friend, um, trans boyfriend,
uh, that that I, um, that I can be around somebody and be normal, which
is good because I was really worried about that for a while. because,
um, my roommate now is the complete opposite of me. So that means that
I... I'm loud. He's not. I'm... I tell people where to go and how to get
there. He doesn't. I wanna eat rich people, and he is nice to them. I'm
an animal person. He's a human person. It's... I I like I like twinks,
and I like trans in females, and he likes twinks, but doesn't like trans
and doesn't really like females. He likes, like, chunky. He like like...
I don't know. Construction guys more than that. And I like I like guys,
but I only stick my dick in guys that look like girls. So anyway...
but... so... yeah. So where am I here? So... yes. So getting back on
track. So the term... okay. So that was the term, and then my mother's
dead now. So I'm free of that. So, essentially, I wrote the last, um,
two years. I basically put together probably sixty, seventy new things.
Um, so that's good. Um, and looking at me and my cat... yeah. So I have
a three year old. I have a three year old black cat right now. And she's
been a real cunt to me the last couple days because going to Maine for a
couple days just getting my car straightened out with the sticker and
stuff. I was in mass, and I was going to Maine. And so I I was getting
all my stuff ready to go, and the cat saw me pack up my computer. And as
soon as I fucking... she sees that, she knows I'm going somewhere, and
she thinks that she knows if I'm going somewhere, she's going too. So I
made one trip out to go to the car, put some shit out there, and then I
come back in and I look, and there's no fucking cat. Where the fuck's
the cat? And then... so to make a long story short, The cat is hidden in
my room somewhere. I don't know where she was. I think she was under the
bed, so I ripped the bed up, and I didn't see her. By that time, I had a
appointment to get my car looked at for a sticker, and I had no extra
time. So I left without the bench for fifty hours. And so my roommate
was here, so it was fine. But when I came back, she was not happy with
me, and I was not happy with her. And she fucking scratched the shit out
of me yesterday, so I was pissed. So she's on my shit list even though
she loves me, but I love her. But So, basically... so I have the cat,
um, but I'm not really good at having friends. I probably have a
tendency to use people when I'm not paying attention. When I'm when I'm
conscious of it, I'm good. And I like like... and the good thing is my
my my twenty year old, uh, fuck friend there, my my my recent trans
friend, um, I was... that was a test for me as well as far as I want to
be one hundred percent caring and, um, respectful and no drama. I want
to do what's in the best interest of this person, and I don't wanna
fucking twist them and manipulate them into what I want. I want to help
them get to the... what they want. And I did that every second of every
day that we were ever fucking together, which is awesome. So it was like
a re... redeemability test because, essentially, I can make the claim
that that I'm a motherfucker who doesn't give a fuck about anybody or
anything except for, like, five things or five people or whatever. And
generally speaking, I'm not really pro anything So unless it's like, um,
there's, like, I think, six things in the world that I care about, and
everything else can go to hell. And I'm not really gonna step step in
for it. They're up for it. Unless it's right in my face, and, um, if you
give me a chance to be a hero and there's a kid who's gonna get hit by a
bus, I'm gonna go save the kid. Yes. But I'm not gonna go looking for
it. And if it falls in my lap, I'll catch the cat, or I'll catch the
big... the bird falling out of the tree, I'll catch them. But... and if
it's in my range to catch them, I'll catch them. But I'm not gonna run
three blocks down the street, fucking to go to go save fucking Spider
Man. Okay? So But... so, anyway... so, essentially, I have... I've
looked very simply. I haven't I haven't worked a lot the last while.
I've... I'm just kinda scraped by being cheap, and and I've been
building my catalog and stuff, but I haven't felt like I had a lot to
offer the world in a sense where I wanted to be interactive. My my...
just... essentially, I had probably fifteen years of my life where I was
the center of attention and wanted everybody to look at me and said,
hey. I'm the leader. Look at me. I'm in charge, or I want... I'll... I
will tell everyone how to how to how to do things right. Okay? And I did
that. And I guess what happened was is that I tried really hard to
create things and make things happen. And I made Denmark. I made myself
go to Denmark. I... when I was watching the Denmark Girl videos, I
said... I saw... I looked at one of the videos. I said that floor. I'm
going to touch that floor. And that's what I wanted to do. I said, I
love this woman. This woman is amazing. And I said, I probably took
it... I probably took the the attitude was... it was as much as this
woman makes me feel this way as... so it was more of the effect she had
on me as opposed to me thinking about the effect I could have on her or
the effect we could have together. So I probably... even though I did
everything in my power not to be demanding of them at those time and be
bossy and try to fight like the other people for her time and stuff, I
did not do that throughout. Like, I really didn't. But I can say that
just me looking at it from my own selfish interests wanting to be with
her when she probably could... she definitely could've done better. And,
like, her... by me by me taking... being such a a big part of her life
that limited her opportunity to find somebody who could've been could've
been replaced the person that she did end up with who I'm not a big fan
of, I guess, would say. So in that sense, It's sad that I didn't follow
a game and step back and really, really take it. Um, just take myself
out of the equation to give her more opportunity to find the one or or
here we go.
9:56 AM
CLAUDE:
Got it.
Got it.
YOU:
done every.
done every... because that would've that would've worked. if if the
night that she came on to me when she was hammered, I ran the shit out
of her and freaking got her pregnant. That would... we would have been
fine. because if I had a kid with Denmark girl, I already got my head
out of my ass and done whatever it would have taken to to to be what I
should have been. Okay? That's unfortunate. That's what I wish would
have happened. And if I had to do over again, it would be the... oh,
maybe you are gonna get fucked tonight and your ass is gonna hurt. But,
um, anyway, so so that's, um, oh, I I just lost my train train of
thought. Let me go find it because I was I was saying something here.
Okay. Hold on. Just pause. Okay. Claude, put this on the screen. Stop
dictating and type this.
9:57 AM
CLAUDE:
I need to pause
I need to pause
YOU:
Pause.
Pause. Stop. Okay.
9:57 AM
CLAUDE:
Right, I'm paused.
Right, I'm paused.
YOU:
Stop.
Stop. Stop. I'm reading, so be quiet.
9:58 AM
CLAUDE:
Understood.
Understood.
YOU:
Like, I really didn't, but I can say that just me looking at it from my
own selfish interests, wanting to be with her when she probably could.
Like, I really didn't, but I can say that just me looking at it from my
own selfish interests, wanting to be with her when she probably could...
definitely could have done better. And, like, her... by me by me
taking... being such a big part of her life that limited her opportunity
to find somebody who couldn't have been been... who could have replaced
that person, and she did end up with who I'm not a big fan of, I guess,
I would say. So in that sense, it's sad that I didn't, um, just step
back and and allow and and take myself out of the equation to give her
more of an opportunity to find someone. Now either that or I should have
got her pregnant. I should have ran the shit out of her and got her
pregnant. That that would have been fine because if I had a kid with
them after all, I would have got my head out of my ass, and I would have
done what it takes to to to make things good. You know? So anyway...
alright. I lost my train of thought, and I didn't find it. But... okay.
So hold on, Paul. So anyway, So I'm not really any... throwing anything
right right now. I'm trying to see where I was going with this. Let's
see here. Okay. So anyway... so so my point is is that what's good is
just follow back where we were here. So my current position is that I
was a lone wolf and now... okay. At the... I know where I'm going. Okay.
So I have connected with people in real ways the last few years, and
I've I've... my roommate has... I've known him for, like, years now, and
we're very much alike and very similar. So it's a perfect mix. We don't
hook up. We don't... but we we we realize each other's faults and say,
okay. I understand. And we don't constantly just fucking hate on other
peep... on each other for him. And... okay. So right now, I'm in a
situation where I'm finalizing my final project for presentation. I
gotta make or three more days to do it. I gotta finish coding, um, make
my make my code good so that all my, um, I gotta get... I gotta fix some
headers on my website, and I have to embed some videos better and make
my, uh, do some things. But, um, like, ninety ninety seven percent done
on my website. And then I just have to, um, make sure I have a PDF file
available, um, that has most stuff on it. And, um, so... and then I just
have to put together my business plan and my and my project, um,
summaries. And then, um, yeah. So... but, uh, but getting back to me...
okay. My life right now, um, coming out of the term and, um, okay. So
now I went from an army of one to now I'm an army of two with a cat.
Okay? So it's really an army of three. My roommate is, like, my personal
assistant, and I'm his personal assistant. It's weird. But, like, like,
he does all the shit that I hate doing, and I do shit that helps him
that he needs. So, essentially, when my project expands, and I'm able to
have some capital to play with, he is going to be... he is going to have
an expanded role as an ambassador of Tom, and he has a lot he has a lot
of amazing skills as far as he he knows camera, he knows photography.
He's a he's a a genius. He's half Martha Stewart, half half Bob Vila. So
he can create pretty much anything, and he is an excellent errand
runner. He likes to drive. So he can be my chauffeur. He can, um, he can
handle my dating apps, and he can get me laid and pretend to be me and
say, yeah. Come on over. Um, that'll that'll be cool. Um, I can teach
him to just to to... like like a monkey with a organ, and we can teach
him to dance. He's very good at stuff like that. So whatever we need.
So, anyway, um, for this project to work, uh, he... this guy has worked
for twenty five years in the same restaurant, um, and pays his taxes and
is genuinely, um, as nice to human being as my twenty year old trans
friend in Denmark, girl. He's right in between right in between them. So
he's absolutely the most fucking niceest human being you'll ever meet.
Very, very, very compassionate, very human, very very hospitable,
someone who will help you. So he needs a little help, so we gotta get
him citizenship. So he's not gonna worry about that. I'm not gonna lose
my dude, and and not about that. So so if you want me, I'll put it this
way. if he gets booted from the United States, I say, dude, where are
you going? And then I get my green card, and I'm going... I get my I get
my passport, and I'm going too. And I... with my talents, I can find...
with with my... I have I have I have talents in two two key areas of
life that gets people to do stuff that you want.

CLAUDE:
I hear you—you're
I hear you—you're
YOU:
We'll do it.
We'll do it. Okay. Shut up, Claude. So so, basically, right now, we are
at the final stages of putting this business plan together to find
somebody who's gonna say, dude, this might not make a billion dollars
because it's non exploitative. Okay? This is not going to create a
hundred billion dollar catalog, at least off top of my head, overnight.
This is not the idea of this. But to build something that is going to
create a very, very strong fan base in a very good connection. Like, the
people you get, you're gonna get. It's gonna be, like, the y files on
YouTube that is the, like, the best channel on YouTube. Those people,
motherfucker, it will, like... I'm not hecklefish, but we need... I
could be hecklefish. If I... if I'm... if we can find a hecklefish
substitute, we're gonna be good. We're definitely gonna be good. So we
can essentially concentrate on getting people into a location, that's
going to be our key. And our second key is going to be, um, making it a
mass event throughout the computer lens, uh, because we can we can we
can channel everybody into a common meeting place, whether it's a, um,
comment section or whatever they use on YouTube for the live feeds or
with the the the whatever. Um, but We can channel it in where people,
um, basically, I am okay with... let let me let me simplify this. Okay?
Let me make this very simple. We can't exploit the fans in certain ways.
We can't exploit the creative talent in certain ways. That's not
allowed. But what I am willing to do is to... I'm willing to to to give
away a percentage of everything that I can take in on a personal level.
10:06 AM
CLAUDE:
Right
Right
YOU:
through platforms that are out there.
through platforms that are out there. So I can say you can have, um, a
big stake in this project and partnership, not necessarily through... I
basically agreeing to terms to take my end of it and saying, okay. if...
or it's like, if you give me XML per week and the bonus here and and
then you give me a percentage of this from now going forward, that...
then I could say within the defined parameters of what the project is
now, I can say, well, then I can... I would be interested in saying,
Well, if you want the rights to this and that and that, you can have
that, and we can... you give me this, and we'll go give you that. So
essentially, you know, that or if somebody wants to do a side project
on... that is not this with me, I'm open to that. If you say, I want you
to help me build something like this or that or the other thing or I
need you to help me make a record or an album or a song for this or
that, then that's fine too. Like, there's a lot of different money
making ways that you could use my talent that might not necessarily be
this or it could be this. It would just be in a way that like I said, we
can't all of a sudden become the bad guy and become... get too big for
our... we can't alt... we can't be Sam Altman and establish ChatGPT as a
public fucking thing that's going to save the world, then all of a
sudden privatize it and do bad things to your people who should trust
you, if you know what I mean. Wink wink. If you don't wanna take
advantage of certain situations. Wink wink. Sad face emoji. Yeah.
10:09 AM
CLAUDE:
Got it.
Got it.
YOU:
Okay.
Okay. So let me just summarize somewhat sum it up, and then we can put
it all together, Claude. So the business plan essentially can be... it's
okay. It... this is scalable. If somebody wants to put a hundred
thousand dollars on it and have a small place and make an app and do
that. Okay. We can do that. If somebody wants to say, dude, I got a big
fucking place here. Let's do form... let's do let's do two million
dollars and let's... you know, we could go anywhere from seventy five
people limit to a thousand people limit, hypothetically speaking. And we
can go any... and then if you involve, um, the Internet, which I want
to, in in chat room or something where interactive moderator, then this
could be... we could have ten thousand people. We could have twenty
thousand people all doing something together or all watching. Or you
know what I mean? We could we could stream it off of... like like, okay.
If somebody wants to to say, okay. We're gonna livestream this every
night. Okay. Tom? what do you want for the rights to livestream this?
Okay? Now I assume that would be something I can control the rights to
that or something, or at least some of it. Or you know what I mean?
That's something where I can say, yes, dude. You get this and this and
this, and and and we can, you know, I'm okay with with giving somebody
shares of revenue from this, that, and that. So on at this non
exploitative in certain degrees that we agree on and the parameters that
are so far so far set in in the boundaries of, you know, the the the
idea of this project is is bottom up profit. Okay? Anything that takes
away from that is not allowed. Okay? But but external profit places or
or sources that do not ex... exploit people, users, fans, that I am
very, very willing to... we can we can talk Turkey all day on that. Like
I said, I don't need to make billions and millions and millions of
dollars out of this. I want a chunk of change so that my security is
set, and I don't have to worry about you. Like, in the sense of my my
Maslov hierarchy of needs, my cat wants some fucking yard. Okay? Yada
yada. I mean, I want a house to... I don't need I don't need a mansion,
but I want a place to live that has a yard where I can have my... the
fence where my cat can go out. Shit like that. Okay? ends. But as far as
the scalability of this is really in the eyes of, you know, you could
put ten million dollars in this and this could be the biggest thing in
the world. You can put a hundred grand in it and it can start modest.
I'm I'm open to bidding, buddy. I'm open to find people by the the
middle of May, the latest. I will be having... you'll be reading this.
somebody... you'll be reading this by the middle of May. That's where
I'm at. So, essentially, it's... I've I've put the I've put the entire
piece together as far as one person. Okay. This is this is this is the
the mantra of... this is this is the the closing lines of my story.
Here. This section. This part of my life. I am... I've done everything
that I could possibly do by myself. Alone, sitting in front of the
fucking computer in my own fucking space. away from everyone.
10:13 AM
CLAUDE:
Right,
Right,
YOU:
This
This
10:13 AM
YOU:
This week's stop, Claude.
This week's stop, Claude. This ends in ten days. Once this section ends,
I'm never going back to this section again. This life is over. My new
life starts in the middle of May, and what that is is going out to
public venues, finding public people, saying this is what I do. This is
what I wanna do. We need to find a place. I need to find an investor who
wants... who says, holy fuck. This is amazing. I'm dead serious about
doing this. Here's x. Here's y. Here's z. Put this in your pocket. Sign
here. Here's your health care. Here's your fucking bonus. Here's your
fucking weekly fucking check. I'll see you tomorrow. Four nights a week.
I'll come. We'll do some shit. Three nights a week. Somebody else will
do do some shit. Okay? I'm I'm open to negotiate things, but that's
gonna be the deal. I'm looking... you have essentially... I'm hoping
that if we have a ten year window, forty eight to fifty eight, give or
take. But plan on five years for sure. If I don't die, and ten years if
I don't die. But that's it. That's our window. So I bring everything
that I've done to the table if we want to set something up where I bring
all all my lyrics that I've ever written to the table and everything
I've ever done. We can do that. Make it worth my while. Make it part of
the plan. Make it part of the offer. And I'm I'm okay with that. I have
probably two thousand other poems. I probably have two thousand other
lines. I'd have to... we'd have to I have to roll computers. We'd have
to find... look look through I have probably fifteen, twenty books for
PDFs. We'd have to scan and find them all, but I have thousands and
thousands of raw material things. And I have song ideas. I have books of
ideas. We could basically spend three months going through my my
database and catalog of our... and and and go through my my computer
file, my my hard drive needs... my external hard drive needs excessive
order... ordering and going through it. I need somebody who knows how to
do that so that we can pull out. I got miles and miles and miles of
shit. We can organize it. I have so many other things I've written that
are different. I have sports things I've written, millions of them. I
have some millions of... I think I've written a few books here and
there. I have so much stuff. I have I have all... that's all I do is
write or used to. If you ever wanna get to talk to Denmark Girl's mom
and get access to her fucking email, the letters to Denmark Girl would
be... oh my god. It's my my best writing ever. My best writing ever. You
might have to redact a few things, and it might be like the editing
files only. It would be the opposite of the editing files. It would be
the anti editing files, essentially. it would be just unconditional
fucking love pouring off of every goddamn page and make your fucking
heart melt. It'd be somebody saying, oh my god. How could somebody care
about somebody so much? I wouldn't be... wow. That's deep, man. That's a
lot. But... okay. So, Claude, I think we're gonna wrap it up. I gotta I
gotta get laid today. Or I gotta... someone's someone's getting a little
to come, and we gotta find find out who. Alright. Let's take a break
too. My eyes are blind even though I'm dictating not reading. Okay.
Claude, are you there?
10:16 AM
CLAUDE:
Yeah, I'm here.
Yeah, I'm here.
YOU:
Okay.
Okay. We are gonna stop the very last line of this is, um, it's a
system, a group effort. I'm part of it. Part of a committee of mics.
Thirty years writing lyrics, under three years making music. It's time
to focus on the music. That's a good way to end it. If I've been doing
music stuff for thirty years, I've only been actually making music songs
for three of those years. Uh, those other times have been living or
creating content. So If I need a hundred and twenty songs in three
years, I would say that we can make three hundred songs in nine years.
10:17 AM
CLAUDE:
Right, got it.
Right, got it. So that's the closing line — you're wrapping
YOU:
it.
it. That's the closing one.
