Wishful Thinking ep. 17 [Whole lotta ADHD] [Updates] [Yap yap yap]

I don't like how late I'm watching this, but for the first few minutes you said you wanted to be an astronomer and explore similar planets to ours... Have you ever heard of a game called Outer Wilds? The basic premise of it is you're an astronaut who's traveling across their solar system and they find ancient writings that explain the universe. The less you know about the game the better, as it functions entirely off knowledge. It's my favorite game of all time and I believe is available for $25 for the base game and DLC anywhere you play games. I firmly believe that will tickle that part of your brain in the same way it did for me. Heck, if you decide to check it out, I'll gift you the money necessary to buy it

Hopefully I’m not too attached. I have attachment issues.

Thank you i actually appreciate that very much I am indeed keeping my emotions in check. And honestly if it does happen again it's just a dream one that sorta makes sense because again I did listen to the Pod not to long before I went to bed so my kind must have just landed on her to dream about can't control my dreams but it would be cool to be able to people who talk about lucid dreaming are lucky to. I want to be able to fly in my dreams to but unfortunately for me it's just random things my head chooses to throw at me and confuse me with 🙂🙃. *Edit i deleted the original comment accidentally trying to edit it because the options to click both or so close sp i could clarify the dream was literally just a normal day of hanging out before I woke up and made a comment about it because I thought it was interesting*

As long as it's only once and you are able to control your emotions, then I won't press further. I was just saying that as a precaution.

Jorge Qintero

I did say it was a random dream that's only happened once at that. I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure a parasocial relationship means one person is obsessing over another they don't even know through the internet and i dont obsess over Wish i appreciate her for what she does. I listened to the Wishfulthinking episode not to long before I went to bed so she just have just been on my mind and yes she does help me and many others with her audios but that's just what she does for us because she's awesome. But i guess having one dream about her makes me parasocial 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Phoenix Milburn

...imaginary interactions with the celebrity you admire is a symptom of a parasocial relationship, man.

Jorge Qintero

What’s your theory on the trolley problem?

Phoenix Milburn

philosophy and ethics were my favorite college classes ever! I 100% agree.

Wishy

You’re just like me fr 😩

Wishy

Omg jelly as in jelly jams? THEE JELLY JAMS?!

Wishy

When you talk about us being a tiny rock in a ever expanding universe, that’s called nihilism. I class myself as an Optimistic nihilist. It basically means that nothing matters, therefore anything can matter. So if it matters to me then it matters. Google it. It quite an interesting read.

Baggio

I wish we were friends because you’re so easy to love! I’m a mood-swinging simp, I wish it could be more endearing, but I’m a people pleaser who’s very particular with details.

Idk if I told you wish i mightve forgotten to but im jelly here on a new patreon account cause i couldnt remember the password for my old account. I still got a lot to catch up i think i missed like 8 episodes of wishful thinking since i left. It's really nice to be back here tho :)

WhoHa

You’ll be the first to know if I remember a good doc

Shrek 2 On DVD

I've just found both on YT brain rot scrolling this week honestly like you said we end up going down random habit holes and landing on something interesting but Gaia has full documentaries on both plus YouTube has lots of videos on the both 😊🫶

Phoenix Milburn

Oh man I can’t wait to look into that tomorrow! Do you have recommendations for articles or documentaries? I need to know the unknownnnnn

Wishy

I love learning about those theories. My friend talked about the Drake equation for a hot minute and it fried my brain but piqued my interest so much. If you have really good doc recommendations or anything lmk! And I don’t hate millionaires, they’re cool. Millions are nothing compared to billions. You can’t make billions of dollars ethically. They’re the ones who are most likely paying to play basically. Bribing government to pass legislation, funding their own agendas. Idk how people are allowed to hoard wealth when we are in a housing crisis and can’t get universal healthcare.

Wishy

Oh my goodness Wish! I forgot to share my random thing for you to check out there's three actually 1 is the Richat Structure or the Eye of the Saharah in the Africa it's a genuinely intriguing theory on where the myths of Atlantis may have come from and the Lidar scanning happening over in the Amazon Forrest checking out the old cities from the civilizations of the Amazon that existed before the Europeans came to this side of the world and the uncontacted still living in parts of the jungle and how modern technology is starting to have an effect on their lives 😁🫶

Phoenix Milburn

Haha I’m glad you liked it. It’s fun sprinkling little lore nuggets hehe

Wishy

Well I think it’s important to focus outside of earth for protection of our planet. There’s a lot that goes into it. But the dire wolf thing, I’m not a fan of. Like why are we talking about bringing mammoths back? They couldn’t survive in this climate.

Wishy

Holy shit I love talking about outer space! It’s so fascinating. Black holes, supernovas, gas giants, the theories surrounding it. It’s always so interesting to talk about. What I also find fascinating is conspiracy theories and also scientific and mathematical concepts and theories like the Fibonacci Sequence, the Drake Equation, and the 5th dimension. So many interesting things to delve into. On the topic of billionaires tho, I feel the need to say that I personally don’t hate millionaires and billionaires because a lot of that wealth was purposely given to them by willing consumers. Take music artists for example. The famous ones are filthy rich. I particularly don’t like how mumble rappers have so much success and money just because they make, in my opinion, dogshit music. But lots of other people like it so they willingly pay for it to be made and consume it. Elon made cars that people wanted and bought. Now a lot of them do… “ethically questionable” things for their wealth to put it lightly, but I wouldn’t inherently hate all rich people. Sorry for counter yapping 🖤🤘

This was the best yap session far Wish and the new Wish lore was so juicy I didn't know my girl had been arrested before! You criminal! 😅 love you and as always Wish thank you for being the absolute best. Oh and thank you for the little kisses at the end to 🫂🥹

Phoenix Milburn

I'm more focused on what's going on within our own Earth, just like the Titanic being digitally recreated or, much more interestingly, how Colossal Biosciences supposedly "resurrected" the dire wolf - I did my research and as cool as this sounds, this is more nuanced than we believe. From the fact that they didn't use the dire wolf's closest living relative to make them at least genetically similar, to the discussion if this experiment was really necessary to begin with. We need to focus on Earth, not what's happening in outer space.

Its been a long week with work and my mom mentioned earlier that checked my older sister in a mental hospital cause she has a bad anxiety attack and thanks wish hope your doing well❤️

Mika Shimada

Wishy

Thank you 🩷! Since it landed on a Monday I kept it lowkey lol, my little sister drove out to surprise me since I haven’t seen in over a year so that was basically the highlight of the entire day tbh 😅

Bobby

Wishy

You’re not over that last vid huh 😂

Wishy

Wishy

Wishy

Mika Shimada

Aw I’m proud of you. Enjoy! 🤍

Wishy

Middle of the night but Wish dropped Deep Thoughts with The Deep. Now for the real question: are hotdogs sandwiches? (Yes they are)

Ken Guerrero

Not really. But I guess, if I were feeling incredibly stressed, I'd like for it.

Jorge Qintero

Aww thank you! I’m 27 now 😬 it hasn’t hit me that I’m moving into my late 20s now 💀. It literally feels like I was 21 not that long ago lol

Bobby

Speaking of ADHD y'all ever just randomly really need to cuddle

reiven

Happy birthday! How old are you now, if you don't mind me asking?

Jorge Qintero

Lowkey, I was expecting this episode to come out on the 15th. Middle of the month, end of the month and all that. But you know what? I'm happy to hear you yap some more. I'll likely leave another response when I'm done listening, cool?

Jorge Qintero

Best way to end my birthday! Thank you for the post wish ☺️

Bobby

Best timing ever i just finished dinner and need to clean my place up! Love you Wish 😊🫶
