Scott Douglas Jacobsen: Please go ahead. What are you talking about in terms of conceptual?
Rick Rosner: So, you’re using the money you make working hard around horses to pay for massages.
Jacobsen: Oh yeah.
Rosner: My experience in my 20s was in Boulder in the 80s. People worked incredibly long hours at multiple jobs, just to afford cocaine, which then fueled more long hours at work.
Jacobsen: [Laughing].
Rosner: You have a healthier cycle, working these intense hours at a demanding job to afford massages that enable you to continue working. It’s a tough job.
Jacobsen: Yeah, it’s great… all of it. It pays for a lot of things. I hire people for transcribing things like this. It’s essentially a team to help with various tasks, which I consider as assistance at this stage. It’s quite beneficial for my early career, saving me time. By the way, guess whose daughter has ridden at the show park here?
Rosner: Am I supposed to start naming famous Canadians? Like William Shatner and Alex Travis.
Jacobsen: No, a famous American.
Rosner: With ten times as many people as Canada, that’s even harder to guess.
Jacobsen: Bill Gates. Jessica Gates; Bill Gates’ daughter.
Rosner: Oh, wow!
Jacobsen: Yeah, there’s an interview with her. It’s incredible.
Rosner: Is she a good rider?
Jacobsen: I don’t know, but if she’s riding there, she’s probably pretty good. It’s likely the best place in BC. Who else? Michael Bublé’s kids. Yeah. That’s great.
Rosner: I always mess up when I meet celebrities, but I like seeing them.
Jacobsen: Who?
Rosner: I don’t know. When I was involved in the celebrity world, I saw many of them and learned to keep my distance. Any interaction, unless it was for work, usually didn’t go well. They wouldn’t even let me meet Tom Cruise because they thought I’d come off as too much of a weirdo. He was a big deal for the show, and they didn’t want to risk a strange encounter. Of course, he’s quite a character himself with the Scientology thing, but he is a really nice guy. I met him briefly in another context, and he seemed genuinely pleasant. Anyway, let’s talk about Informational Cosmology (IC) for a second.
