## Episode Summary

**Audio:**

Millenials and zoomers suffer from too much depression and anxiety so they have to use apps to order food. Meanwhile, you can't order food without using these apps because restaurants have got rid of their delivery drivers. What if you could knock on your neighbors door and they would deliver food for you? A new sense of community...

We suffer from too much depression and anxiety so we have to use apps to order food.  What if you could knock on your neighbors door and they would deliver food for you?

## Idea Details

* Idea: World Wide Mutual Aid DIY Delivery Service
* Creator of idea: Drew
* Purpose of idea: The one thing that I liked about the *Sopranos* videos that you showed, in particular the *I Dream Of Jeannie* episode, um, was that there was the scene where Jeannie was helping Tony Soprano sing in all the different voices, where uh Jeannie made him sing very high, then very low, then again quite high again. Uh and that was uh cool to see because that's kinda like - (Josiah: "Life, really. Highs and lows.") That's true! But the way that she stepped in to help someone is - (Josiah: "It's kinda like uh real life, is like that. Help each other.") Well, n- it is! It's an admirable thing to see somebody struggling and to step in. And that gets me thinking about stuff like mutual aid! (Josiah: "Life. Oh! Mutual - well is that kind - and so you're - so is this about mutual masturbation this week?") No, this is not about mutual masturbation, Josiah. It's really not about that. It's about coming together. (Josiah: "Well that's -") Don't say - don't! Don't! Look, your mind is in the damn gutter, Josiah. Coming together, Josiah. Not in a sexual way. But in a way to help one another. (Josiah: "OK. I'm listening. Come - so you wanna come to- you wanna - basically if you're -") Well, no - (Josiah: "So basically what you're saying is that the protein of your idea, or the nut, so to speak, -") Mhm. (Josiah: "- you want to nut together. With others.") No. That's not - that's not - (Josiah: "You want to release.") That's not what it is at all, Josiah. (Josiah: "You want to spread your seed.") So, if you know anything about non-profits - (Josiah: "I do, but uh for those who don't, go ahead.") Well I don't kn- I'm not gonna get into the deets. (Josiah: "Someone has to. Maybe you *should* get into the deets, for once.") So we can talk about, like, stuff like community gardens, that sort of thing. So this is a way that you can be green by using metal instead of plastic. (Josiah: "So now the episode is about being green? I thought it was about mutual -") Well no, this is just a way that - of - way - this is a way that you could do mutual aid by building a naked garden. But, again, this is another way of doing mutual aid. To build a community gard- build a garden hoop community garden with - as a naked gardener. (Josiah: "OK...") So I was thinking of ways, Josiah, uh that we could maybe use mutual aid - (Josiah: "So, really quick, just - for - just for - in case someone who's listening is *very* stupid, when you say 'mutual aid', you're talking about a garden and a truck. So, to me, it sounds to me like you're more like talking about being a farmer.") Well no, this is gonna be - we're gonna be talking about vehicles - mutual aid - but not trucks. We're gonna be talking about all types of vehicles. Because I was thinking about stuff like - we have big companies like Amazon that deliver stuff. And then we have predatory apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats and uh SkipTheDishes. (Josiah: "What do you mean, 'predatory apps'? You're - there's predators on there?") Well, that's right! And that's what they mean. (Josiah: "Food, cause it's food, right? It's our prey.") Exactly. So you have stuff like that. And we wanna break away from that while building this mutual aid internconnectivity. So how are we gonna replace it, Josiah? Well what I have uh suggested is a World Wide Mutual Aid DIY Delivery Service.
* Timetable: No timetable was given for World Wide Mutual Aid DIY Delivery Service, but it can be implemented immediately and will likely go into effect any day now.
* Idea details:
	+ There are going to be community hubs in the places most local to people, which does not mean their skin or soul.
	+ More and more, the deliverly driver is being turned into The Gig Economy worker, but no longer. Instead, you would use the World Wide Mutual Aid DIY Delivery Service, whereby you would knock on your neighbor's door and tell them you need a pizza but cannot pick it up yourself. You would know ahead of time that your neighbor has a car or a bike or roller skates or something that would allow them to transport your food for you. This will foster a sense of community.
	+ You can tip your neighbor Conrad like a regular delivery guy. You wouldn't give your neighbor a bad tip so Conrad will still make a good income.
	+ When Conrad delivers food for you, he will put on a delivery driver uniform since the restaurant won't just give the food to anyone.
	+ You will not necessarily need to fuck Conrad after he delivers you a pizza.
	+ Conrad should stock up on extras of things like napkins and spoons.
	+ World Wide Mutual Aid DIY Delivery Service will work by you ordering the pizza on the phone. Then you can give them your credit card number or elect to pay cash on pickup. If you do credit card, it's easy. If you do cash, Conrad will pay cash at the restaurant. Once he delivers the food to you, you will pay back Conrad the price of the pizza plus tip so he makes back the money he spent.
	+ The food you order doesn't have to be pizza. It also doesn't have to be food if you start a community delivery service for things like books, where someone with a printer will print books for you or someone will go to the library and transcribe it for you. Or your neighbor could go to the Amazon dispatch and pick up your package for you.
	+ Conrad can keep your pizza warm by putting a Bunsen burner under the delivery tray while he bikes or drives it to you. This will also allow him to cook it while he brings it to you. He will just need bungie cords to hold the package steady on the delivery tray if he's biking. One of these will be on every bike as part of World Wide Mutual Aid DIY Delivery Service.
	+ Conrad will always delivery the pizza for you because he's family. You might not feel like helping when someone asks, but if it's family then you're always going to help them out.
	+ People's houses don't necessarily need to become some kind of store in order to successfully provide for World Wide Mutual Aid DIY Delivery Service.
	+ Each morning, everyone in the apartment building or other community will say what World Wide Mutual Aid DIY Delivery Service they can provide that day. Then you will know what they're willing to do so you aren't imposing on anyone.

## Devil Play

* Josiah asked a few minor questions throughout the episode, but his first highlighted devil play was one final gentle loving devil play coming from a place of wanting to help. He felt he had a better solution to World Wide Mutual Aid DIY Delivery Service, whereby we establish that the entire Earth is one big family, one race, the human race. With that established, it's one community and then everybody can be doing favors for each other and we can keep everything how it is now and everyone can be doing each other favors.
	+ Drew responded that we want that World Wide connectivity since it's the World Wide Mutual Aid DIY Delivery Service. So it is World Wide but it's also local so you still have that strong local interconnectivity.
	+ Josiah clarified that Drew meant it's about having strong borders.
	+ Drew restated that it's not so much about having strong borders, but having strong communities.
	+ Josiah then understood that it does need to be each apartment building is its own community. He added that maybe, like in the leftist TV show *The Sopranos*, some local communities or apartment complexes are at war with each other.
	+ Drew added that, since it's selfish to live by yourself and not in an apartment complex, maybe we'll condense groups by having some families move into your house so that this will work a little better. This easily solves the issue of homelessness because instead of having one family inside of a house, just have five familiies inside of a house.
	+ Josiah noted that perhaps half of those people would now be pizza guys, which he clarified would not solve employment issues since World Wide Mutual Aid DIY Delivery Service is not about employment but is about family.
	+ Drew added that you can also have some unhoused people move in, too.
	+ Josiah agreed and said he loved the idea; that it was a great idea.

## Notable Events
