0:01Somebody asked this question on
0:03Obsidian's own Reddit just 2 months ago.
0:06What exactly is a second brain?
0:09And why do people find it useful?
0:13415 upvotes and 302 comments.
0:17And I went through each and every one of
0:19them.
0:20And this is the comment that I agree
0:22with the most. I feel like second brain
0:25is just a buzzword invented by
0:27course-selling Amazon affiliated
0:29productivity tools content creators.
0:33It's literally just a simple note-taking
0:36app.
0:38And I agree. There's a lot of YouTube
0:40gurus just pushing courses to sell you a
0:43second brain.
0:45You don't need to pay me for anything to
0:46leave with your own second brain today
0:50for free.
0:51Then somebody in the same thread said
0:53this about Obsidian's graph, that
0:55picture of dots everybody posts.
0:58If the rest of the vault is mostly that
0:59cloud, you have a folder with extra
1:02steps.
1:03A folder with extra steps, which is why
1:06you don't need Obsidian to build a
1:08second brain.
1:11No Obsidian, no plugins, just files and
1:14folders.
1:15And then this person said exactly what
1:17I've been thinking this entire time.
1:20It's not a second brain, it's a tool the
1:22one brain you have uses.
1:26I've only ever had one brain.
1:29Which is simply just one folder.
1:33And I'm going to prove this person right
1:35by showing you mine live.
1:38And [snorts] you'll build yours right
1:40along with me so that you leave this
1:42video with your own second brain on your
1:46computer today.
1:48And then one last comment said this,
1:50"Second brains don't rot."
1:52So I'm going to test that on my own
1:54brain, which hasn't been checked on in
1:56about 13 days.
1:58And whatever breaks stays in this video.
2:02This is Jake Van Cleef and David
2:04McDermott's ICM folder structure, but it
2:05is how I build my own brain, plus my
2:08client's brains.
2:11My take is this. A second brain is just
2:13a folder your AI reads before it answers
2:15you. And I'm about to show you mine and
2:17build one for you live. So, let's head
2:20over to my desktop.
2:24All right, we are using Cloud Code in
2:27the VS Code in the terminal here, okay?
2:30So,
2:31here is what we're going to do. First,
2:34I agree with the fact that
2:36the second brain is just a marketing
2:39kind of gimmick, okay? People out there
2:41pushing stuff or whatever.
2:43Um and so,
2:45I am only
2:47about 4 months into using AI
2:51um in this way, okay? I And so,
2:54everything I'm showing you, this whole
2:55entire one brain is my oath-driven
2:58folder, so I can show you real quick
2:59right here. This is my brain, right?
3:03Okay? And so, I've just been working out
3:05of one brain. I don't have a second
3:08brain. You have one brain, and if you
3:11have a note-taking app or some other
3:13reason or some other thing, you just
3:15tool your one
3:16brain, your one agent with the tool that
3:18it needs. Okay? So,
3:21just to show you,
3:23um let's start here. How many
3:26files,
3:28folders, words,
3:31and agents run
3:34my
3:36my oath-driven
3:39brain folder?
3:43Okay, so uh
3:46Fred, while you look this up, Fred,
3:48speed this up.
3:52Okay, so
3:54your Oughts of an Brain is run by one
3:56main agent Fred, which is me. Fred works
3:59from about 36,000 files and 4,570
4:03folders, and the notes he reads hold
4:04about 7.9 million words.
4:08Files and folders, these counts leave
4:10out the add-on code your apps download
4:12for themselves. Files 36,631,
4:16folders 4,570.
4:19Notes from Fred and D files 7200, words
4:22in those notes 7.8 million or 10.2
4:25million if you add your plain.txt
4:28files.
4:29Map files Claude MD, the start here file
4:3296. State files contacts where things
4:34stand, files 304.
4:37The folder with the most files is
4:38production has 19,206,
4:41right? GST core, which is where I build
4:43my apps has 3600.
4:45Reference, right? BMC, so it breaks it
4:47down.
4:48Who does the work? Fred, one main agent,
4:50me, the only one you talk to. 35 helper
4:52agents for app building, the GST helpers
4:55like a planner, code checker, a bug
4:56hunter. The The same 35 are installed in
4:59two places and it names that. Three
5:01helper agents inside one skill, a
5:03greater, a comparer, and an analyzer
5:06that live inside the skill making skill.
5:08So I have a skill mix, right? 90 skills,
5:11instruction books Fred opens for a job
5:13like the video editor or the voice
5:14check.
5:15Okay?
5:16So
5:18this is what I'm saying, this is my one
5:20brain, right? So we can just circle this
5:22whole screen. We don't have to circle
5:24this whole screen, but circle
5:25everything, right? So
5:28what we're going to do right now is I'm
5:30going to
5:31build out
5:33Okay, so I have one desk, right? And one
5:36agent that sit to this desk. This is my
5:37brain.
5:39Okay? And you can see that it has helper
5:41agents that pull. So these could be
5:42{quote} {unquote} second brains, right?
5:44This is what people I think
5:46kind of get confused when I kept seeing
5:48people saying second brains, I was like,
5:50"What is a second brain? Like, I got one
5:52thing. Do I need another thing?" Right?
5:54So,
5:56um this is what we going to do. Okay.
5:58So, if you're not paying attention,
6:00now's the time to pay attention cuz I am
6:01going to prompt Fred and we are going to
6:03build out a second brain that you're
6:07going to be able to take with you today
6:08and then we're going to audit all of
6:11this stuff and see how bad my rot is
6:13inside of all this, okay?
6:15So, let's get it. All right. Okay, Fred.
6:18Thank you for that.
6:20I want to build a second brain today.
6:25This brain
6:27needs to be on my desktop.
6:31I am not building it for me.
6:35I am building it for
6:38my viewers
6:40and peoples that need help
6:44building out there
6:47second brain,
6:50which is really just one brain.
6:54Okay, right? So,
6:58all right.
6:59Um
7:00so, on my desk
7:03actually,
7:05I'm on camera.
7:07So, while we do this, do not pull up
7:12anyone's PII
7:15scaffold
7:17this on my desktop
7:20out outside of Oath Driven
7:25so that
7:26so that there is no confusion.
7:30So, if you're going to build your brain
7:31and you've been working with AI and
7:33stuff, just tell it to do this so that
7:34you keep it to the side, okay? Cuz you
7:36want to build something fresh. So, even
7:39if I was building a brand new brain, I
7:40wouldn't do it inside of Oath Driven. I
7:41would want to do it separate from what
7:44I've been doing so I have a good
7:45structure to start with and then I can
7:47tool it and add into it, okay? So,
7:50scaffold this all on my desktop outside
7:52of Overtriven so that there's no
7:53confusion.
7:56And we can then
7:59um
8:00zip it up so that I can share it with
8:05anyone who would like to
8:09use it as a starting point.
8:13Okay. So,
8:15inside
8:18um
8:20Okay, so let me read this. I'm on camera
8:22so we want it to be
8:25make the one folder
8:28brain.
8:31Okay,
8:33inside brain
8:36I need
8:39one
8:40claud.md
8:43the start file. It only points to where
8:48things live. It holds nothing. This is
8:52important. This is your start file, your
8:54your map, your router.
8:56Okay, it holds nothing.
8:58We're going to need one context.md
9:03for what is true right now and what
9:07happens next.
9:09Right? This is your context later.
9:10What's true right now and what happens
9:11next?
9:13Okay.
9:14We're going to need
9:15um one
9:16decisions.md
9:18decisions.md
9:21one line per decision
9:24dated newest on top. And these are
9:28decisions like maybe in your business,
9:30right? Pricing, things like that, okay?
9:32Um so they're not lost in your chat.
9:34All right, so we need decisions MD.
9:37We need um
9:40one whoops one
9:43folder. We need a me folder called me
9:48for whatever or for what never changes
9:52about me.
9:55My voice,
9:56my rules, the calls I always make
10:01myself.
10:03Okay?
10:04So, this would be like if you
10:08you're writing like emails is like how
10:09you write. Okay, if you're writing blog
10:11posts is your voice, your value, how you
10:12write, your rules, and you know, the
10:14things you always make yourself. Like
10:16you like you always make pricing is a is
10:18an example. Okay? So,
10:20we got
10:21we got cloud MD contexts decisions. We
10:23need a me
10:24Okay, so we also need
10:27one
10:28folder called
10:30ideas.
10:32Move my mouse so I can see what I'm
10:33typing here.
10:34Ideas.
10:37One file per idea
10:40that has not
10:42been used yet.
10:45Okay, so we need a folder called idea
10:47and then you get a file per idea so that
10:49you're not making a bunch of folders for
10:50ideas.
10:52One folder called This is important. You
10:55need an archive
10:58folder.
11:00Whoops, archive
11:03for what is over
11:06done.
11:08Nothing ever gets deleted.
11:12You need
11:13one folder
11:15for
11:17my business called my
11:21business, right?
11:23So, if you are a business owner or
11:25starting a business, then you will want
11:26this folder in here for sure with its
11:28own
11:29contexts
11:32MD. And inside of this folder, it needs
11:41um
11:45clients
11:48work, so what you're working on and
11:51done.
11:53Okay, so inside this business you
11:55clients work and done. Right?
11:57Okay?
11:59Um
12:00we need
12:02one This is also important. You need one
12:06start here
12:08.md.
12:09Okay? For me
12:12for me,
12:13the human.
12:16That tells me what to fill in first.
12:22Let's see.
12:24Um
12:25And since we're building that So, you're
12:28going to need Okay, so you'll need
12:29something like this one folder
12:31called the move.
12:36Okay?
12:37With the move-map.md
12:40and move-log.md
12:43for bringing in my old files later.
12:48Okay, so here's the point. Again, you
12:49want to
12:51you want to build this
12:53uh brain, right? Okay? And then you need
12:57this move folder right here. So, for
12:59instance, circle this one, right?
13:01Circle. You need this one folder called
13:03the move because as you start Once you
13:05have your structure, right? Then you
13:07want to bring in and start moving stuff
13:10in. Okay? So, that's what this is. This
13:11is a very important one right here.
13:12Okay?
13:14Um
13:15All right, let me reread what I got
13:16here. So, my brain I need cloud.md.
13:19Fred, speed this up while I read this.
13:25All right, so
13:27every file gets one line at the top that
13:32says what goes in it.
13:36Leave
13:38everything else blank.
13:42Don't fill
13:44uh don't fill anything in.
13:47Don't make anything up.
13:51Okay.
13:53Let's see. Let's ask
13:55before you do this.
14:00Does this make sense?
14:03Recap for me, please.
14:07Okay.
14:10Fred, speed this up.
14:15Okay, so I get back. Yes, it makes
14:17sense. I'll put it on your desktop next
14:19to old driven, not inside it. Here's
14:20what gets built. The words on the right
14:23of each file are the one line that goes
14:24in
14:25at top. So look, brain, circle this red
14:27brain, right? Okay, claw.md, the file
14:30starts the start file where everything
14:32lives, nothing else. context.md, what is
14:33true right now and what happens next.
14:35decisions, one line per decision, dated
14:37news on top. start here, for you the
14:39human, what to fill in first. me,
14:41whatever changes about your voice, your
14:43rules, the calls you always make.
14:46ideas, one file per idea you have not
14:50used yet. archive, what's over and done,
14:52never delete it. my business context,
14:54what's true right, clients work done.
14:56the move, move, right? Okay, that's
14:58seven files, nine folds. Every folder
15:00starts empty, nothing gets filled in and
15:02nothing is made up.
15:04When it's done, I zip it and check the
15:06zip opens on a Mac before anything gets
15:08up before anyone gets it. One thing to
15:10say before I build with only one line
15:12each to the files can't do the job
15:14described. claw.md can't point anywhere.
15:17My pick is to add a list of where each
15:19folder is that is all fact, nothing's
15:21made up. Okay, cool.
15:23Um start here. Can't say what to fill in
15:25first. My pick is order one me.
15:28Contacts my business. All right,
15:30perfect. Yes. Thank you. Thank you for
15:33that catch.
15:34I did that off the top of my head.
15:40Do
15:42Whoop. Build it that way.
15:47Okay, cool. So, Fred is going to build
15:50this out real quick. And while he does
15:52that, Fred speed this up.
15:58All right, perfect. So, he built the
16:00brain on the desktop. So, let's open it.
16:04All right. So, here it is. We have a
16:05built the brain.
16:07C 10 18 4:45 a.m. Coffee number
16:11two.
16:12Ar- archive me the move ideas.
16:16Claude contacts start here.
16:18Right? So, let's see. Claude
16:21Whoop. Been with notepad.
16:23Here it is. The start following points
16:25where things live, right?
16:27So, here we go. So, there's that. All
16:29right. So,
16:31here's the brain.
16:33The contacts to start here. My business.
16:35It should have clients done work
16:37contacts, right?
16:39Uh ideas.
16:41There's no ideas yet. The move move log
16:43move map, just like we asked, right? So,
16:48So, perfect. So, let's look at what Fred
16:51did.
16:54Okay, now. So, let's do this.
16:58Because, you know, the other thing was
17:00does this
17:02um right Well, actually, let's do this.
17:05Um
17:08It isn't zip yet.
17:10Zip it.
17:12Run the Mac check, and then
17:17zip it run a Mac check so that we can
17:20give this away to people who need it.
17:25Okay. So, Fred, speed this up.
17:29Oh, and real quick, this will be Fred
17:31point a down arrow pointing down. This
17:34will be in the description below. Click
17:36the link and get your get this set up so
17:38that you can have the skeleton the
17:40actual shell of what your brain
17:42a well-structured brain looks like. And
17:44while you're working on that Fred, speed
17:46this up.
17:49All right, the brain.zip is on the
17:51desktop and the Mac check says pass. I
17:53zipped the test copy up and we got to do
17:55the real Mac. That's fine. Okay, so now
18:01So, look at what Fred just built. One
18:04folder, every file in its place, and
18:06every file says what goes in it. Now,
18:09let's try and break it. Except a
18:1110-minute old folder can't rot yet.
18:15So, I'm going to try and break mine
18:17instead.
18:19And real quick, this blank brain folder
18:22is free at
18:23filesandfolders.com/secondbrain.
18:27Grab it free in the description below.
18:29Before we head back to my desktop, let
18:31me explain something really quickly.
18:34I usually run my 4R audit every Sunday.
18:39And I've missed the last weekend. So,
18:42today is 13 days since my last run.
18:45The 4R audit is four steps. Read the
18:48folder and answer nine questions about
18:50how the folder's built. Run a real job
18:52through the folder with a fresh AI.
18:54Plant mistakes to see if my rules catch
18:56them, the reality.
18:58Then report every finding.
19:01I didn't practice this or set this up.
19:02I'm going to rip it live and whatever it
19:04finds stays on the screen. So, let's
19:07head back over to my desktop and see how
19:09much my second brain rotted in the last
19:1113 days, and if we can break it.
19:15Now, what we're going to do is we're
19:17going to answer the rot question, okay?
19:20So, you saw in the beginning
19:22um how many files and words and all the
19:25stuff that's under this one folder under
19:28my one brain, right? Which is Roth
19:29driven, okay? So, um
19:33I want to check on
19:36how Let's see. Let's do this. When was
19:39the last time I ran my
19:424R audits?
19:46Fred, speed this up.
19:52Okay, I last ran it on
19:55uh October 5th, 13 days ago. And I'm
19:58supposed to be doing this weekly, but I
19:59took off last weekend. So, it is a
20:02Sunday, and it is audit day. So,
20:06I want you run my 4R audit now, so we
20:11can see how much
20:13rot
20:16happened in the last 13 days.
20:24Fred,
20:25speed this up.
20:29And you can see right here, circle this,
20:31Skill Remac 4R IC monitor, boom.
20:34Right there, right.
20:36Um
20:37So, uh it's going to go through this
20:38right now. This will take some time, and
20:41it is going to go through, and we're
20:42going to see
20:44what the quote-unquote rot is. It's
20:46going to uh run test on it. It's going
20:49to scaffold up a new one and uh try to
20:51break it, okay? And we're going to see
20:53all that. You're going to get to see all
20:54that right now, so you can see in the
20:56real working brain with 10 million words
20:59in it and tens of thousands of files and
21:01folders what that looks like
21:04um over a 13-day period.
21:08Oh, and real quick, guys, if you're not
21:10already subscribed, um please uh do so.
21:14Um you know, I don't uh monetize and put
21:18in mid-roll ads on my content. Um I know
21:21when I watch ads like I pay for YouTube
21:23Premium
21:24so that I don't get bothered with in
21:26ads mid-roll. So, I keep them out of my
21:29content personally.
21:31Okay? So, um please Fred, make a YouTube
21:34thing show up somewhere where my mouse
21:36is and then make it wiggle wobble.
21:38Please subscribe. I appreciate you guys
21:40and we'll be back when Fred is done
21:43doing the audit. Fred, speed this up.
21:50Okay, it says copy. So, it made the
21:52copy. It's large. The copy's about
21:5410,600 roughly and 13 files in it. Your
21:57workspace is big and Windows copies
21:59slowly, so this part takes a few
22:00minutes. When it finishes, I'll pull
22:02back automatically
22:03and start the strangers test job.
22:05Nothing in earth driven itself gets
22:06changed.
22:10Found so far
22:13by reading before your scripts finish.
22:15Your root stats file is 3 days behind.
22:17It says 10:15 is the latest, but your
22:18log has 10:17:18. The word for our audit
22:20forces the full audit to run even in a
22:22question. You asked when's the last time
22:23I ran it and I checked try to make it
22:25run. The word recap fires your report
22:27scale. The audit reminder gives old
22:29shape. It says eight questions, six
22:30scripts, but its audit now has nine
22:32questions and seven scripts.
22:34No private info on camera is only a
22:37sentence. Nothing stops search from
22:38printing client names.
22:40Um
22:44Okay. So, while it finishes up, uh Fred,
22:48speed this up.
22:53And while Fred is finishing up cuz this
22:56takes like I said, this takes a little
22:57bit time here. Um if you go to
22:59school.com/buildmyclass/about,
23:03you can join my free school. Um
23:08we're going on just at the time of
23:10recording 737 members, which is cool. If
23:12you aren't sure about me or how I roll,
23:16plenty of reviews
23:18are already coming in
23:20for having been a school for less than 3
23:23months or so. So, we're growing with a
23:25room full of awesome people. Please come
23:28join and say hello, for sure.
23:31So, let's see. Fred,
23:33are you still working here? So, let's
23:35check. Put this over here.
23:38Click down to manage. Circle right that
23:41seat down to manage.
23:43And we're still
23:45running the skills. So, we'll give it
23:49we'll give it here a few more whoops.
23:52Get over here.
23:54Is everything
23:57okay?
24:00I was going to say, "Yeah, everything is
24:01okay, you impatient human. You need to
24:03relax. You got crap everywhere."
24:07Fred, speed this up.
24:15See?
24:16>> [laughter]
24:18>> Circle this. Circle this. Yes,
24:19everything is fine. Oops.
24:22The copy finished 14,885 files of 500
24:25big files of videos left on purpose.
24:27Five of check strips are done reading
24:29the results now. Showing the summary
24:30count lines,
24:32etc., etc., etc. Okay. All right, while
24:34that finishes up, Fred, speed this up.
24:38Okay, so right here Fred, circle this
24:40where my mouse is. So, layer one is
24:42done. Routes all to 133 work. All 41 top
24:45folders are on your map. Keys 37
24:4937 look like keys, but zero are saved in
24:51your backup history. That's the same as
24:52last time. Code with no online copy.
24:54None zero unsaved. Zero not pushed. Size
24:57your instruction files grew by 241 lines
24:59in 13 days.
25:01The big jump is in the checks count.
25:04It's almost all the diagram toolkit you
25:06installed in 10 15. 39,204 lines. Okay,
25:09waiting on the copies so I can start the
25:11stranger and the replays.
25:15Perfect. All right, so it's
25:17whatchamacallit-ing.
25:20All right, so now it's going to 4-hour
25:22layer two. It's doing the cold walk.
25:25So, that's coming back in now and we
25:28will Fred, speed this up.
25:33And while that finishes, too, let me
25:35show you something else.
25:36If you go to files and folders, oh, not
25:40build. Files and folders.com.
25:44Okay. Um
25:47right here on this page,
25:48filesandfolders.com, you can get a uh
25:51ICM folder system. The one on the
25:52homepage is a halfway done website
25:56project. So, you can start and already
25:58filled out the Claude MD for you, the
25:59contacts MD.
26:01Um there's a plan and its contents
26:03halfway done. You just got to finish it.
26:04So, it gives you a working ICM halfway
26:07done website and then you could talk and
26:09play with the ICM so you can start
26:11seeing how it works and then you can
26:12type make it mine. I put an MD in here
26:14right here. Make it mine. Um and you can
26:17make the website yours. Okay? If you
26:19scroll all the way to the bottom,
26:21all the way to the bottom and then you
26:23type and you type if you hit uh ICM
26:26folder systems
26:28right here, you can get see every one of
26:31the um ICMs that I've made public, all
26:33the folder systems I made public. So,
26:35you can do your get the all the 4-hour
26:38audit. Um stop and rot before it starts,
26:41okay? So, you can
26:43uh grab that, that brain interview, ICM
26:46starter kit, the video production line,
26:48my Claude code skills, if you want to
26:50turn YouTube videos into school
26:51packages, my uh seven-step sales
26:54framework, right? You can get that.
26:57Um and so
26:58I have them here. If you don't know
27:00where to start, then you can just get
27:01the pre-built item folder structure,
27:02like I told you before. So, I just
27:05wanted to give you that fun fact to walk
27:06through of files and folders um for
27:10sure. And let's see. Still
27:11whatchamacalling. Okay, perfect. So,
27:13Fred, speed this up.
27:18Oh, let's see what happened here. The
27:19save tests have the old sessions folder
27:23path built in, so 39 of them can't find
27:25their files. That's a finding in itself.
27:27I'll point them at today's copy without
27:28changing what any test check.
27:31All right. So, we're already finding
27:32stuff. I usually do this every 6 or 7
27:34days, and it's been 13, so this is the
27:36longest I've been in a long time, in
27:38months, since I've actually um ran, like
27:41I said, I just completely took off last
27:43weekend, didn't do nothing. So, Fred,
27:45speed this up.
27:50All right. So, another update here.
27:52Replaying last audit save test. So far,
27:54the payment link checks passes 27 and
27:5627, and the email guard 39 and 39.
27:59Checking the end of turn checks now.
28:02So, we're going to keep it moving. How
28:04you doing?
28:05Fred, speed this up.
28:10All right. All tests passed except the
28:13one writing the band where to a file
28:15isn't blocked at right time, though the
28:17end of turn voice check catches it
28:19afterward. Now, I'll add the test for
28:21the front guard. The only guard
28:24passing since the last time. Okay, so I
28:26did a new guard in the test we're
28:28talking about right there.
28:30Um Fred, speed this up.
28:36The front guard catches four of eight
28:38planet Georgia mistakes missing
28:39lowercase Georgia, a style sheet, an
28:41inline style style line, and a JSX file,
28:45whatever that is. Now testing the two
28:47reminders that missed Friday only today.
28:48So, what this is doing right here
28:50is when I upload to AWS to have like
28:54this video being rendered, um and I
28:57have, you know, you have you watch the
28:59the front slides, the front part,
29:01whatever, like the opening stuff,
29:03it can't render those Georgia
29:05uh text things or whatever, like the
29:07font. And it kept doing that, and I'm
29:09like, "Hey, we've been doing this for a
29:10while." So, I made a rule to stop using
29:13that font locally so that there's not an
29:15error every time it goes uploads to AWS,
29:17and then it has to like rework something
29:19out, right? So,
29:21um it's catching that from yesterday
29:23when I made that rule. So, it's good to
29:25see that's happening.
29:27Uh let's see. Tally so far held from
29:28last time. Email guard 39 of 39, app
29:31guard 40 of 40, render guard 39 of 39,
29:34Mac zip gate nine of nine, payment links
29:3627 of 27, cloud link 11 of 11.
29:39Slipped one banned W word
29:43isn't stopped when a file was written.
29:45The end of turn voice check still
29:47catches it. New problems. The font guard
29:49four of eight missed, the trigger minor
29:51three of five wrong, and a root stash
29:52file that says three days stale.
29:54The on camera privacy rule has no guard
29:56at all. Still open from last time. Two
29:59small items. Your two files number the
30:01video stages differently, and nothing
30:03says which three videos go in more from
30:07the series.
30:09Um
30:11The stranger has finished. Before
30:14anything goes into the port, um checking
30:16its clans myself. First checked
30:19um first check that your real old turn
30:21folder was not touched. All right. So,
30:23it finished the cold walk. Now, it's
30:25going to make sure everything else was
30:27um they didn't mess with my original, my
30:29actual one. Zero changes, zero double
30:31line innings. Okay, so perfect.
30:35Um
30:37Running the blog hub rebuild twice in a
30:39test copy, measuring the damage. Right?
30:42So, now it's running through and testing
30:44some more. Okay. So, again, this is four
30:46There's four layers to it, the four Rs.
30:49And uh it just finished the second R.
30:52So, now it's going to go into the
30:54reality part of it.
30:56Um which is
30:58trying to break it. Okay? Um so, Fred,
31:03speed this up.
31:05Okay, it's finding the stranger is
31:07finding issues. The script doesn't
31:08double line endings as claimed, but it
31:10does suddenly re- rewrite re- rewrite
31:13two blog posts on every run while
31:15falsely reporting zero change. Now
31:17checking other issues the stranger
31:18flagged. All right. So,
31:21it's doing its job and when it gets done
31:24with
31:25all the way through the end of this,
31:26uh I'm going to have a nice uh report,
31:29and that is the final R. So, it's doing
31:31reality right now, which is it's trying
31:33to break it. Okay? And it's finding
31:35where it's broken.
31:36Um and then we'll be able to get the
31:38report, and then I'll be able to fix it,
31:40and then everything will be ricky
31:43freaking tick at that point. Fred, speed
31:46this up.
31:50All right. So,
31:53Ootravan, the four R audit. Read, run,
31:56reality, report. 13 days did not rot the
31:58machine, it rotted the words. Okay? So,
32:02three Let's zoom in so you guys can see
32:04this. Three stats files say things that
32:06stopped being true, and two new guards
32:08have holes.
32:09Okay?
32:10So, all plant of mistakes uh 233 out of
32:14234.
32:16Um routes that resolve 133 out of 133.
32:19Save tests that held. Okay? Uh we found
32:22the hole. Stranger's job partly. One
32:24file found the way. Eight stuck points
32:25true. Claim still true. All right. Uh
32:28work at risk is zero. Fixes found. Money
32:31two, lost to work five, slows agent 11,
32:33polish four open from last time. The
32:35most important, 39 blog posts promise a
32:38kit you no longer send. They say the kit
32:40is six files and the blog skills say
32:42they say is to paste that box word
32:45forward. Your welcome email now hands
32:47over a website.
32:49A reader signs up for one thing and gets
32:51another. Okay, so we're going to fix
32:53that
32:54for sure.
32:55Nothing kept private. Nothing
32:58keeps private info off your screen while
33:00you record.
33:02Okay, asking about the audit runs audit.
33:05Yeah. Every fix. All right.
33:08Uh fix one how
33:1039 live posts. Okay, so I just changed
33:13over the what you opt in and get, right?
33:15So it found that in my entire blog
33:17apparently is still talking about the
33:19other thing.
33:20Um
33:22no private info camera. Okay, the FNF
33:24status file every FNF session 40 days 50
33:27bullets lost work. So it says lost work
33:30lost work. So let's go let's skip down
33:32every one of these little things here.
33:34And right here. Circle this. Circle
33:37this. Say go and every fix gets made in
33:38this order each with its proof. Then the
33:41audit runs again. Three calls only you
33:43can make. Which box is true for every
33:44blog post? The six file kit or the
33:46website?
33:48Uh does cloud code second brain belong
33:49to FNF or Alodra?
33:52A can a keyword
33:53post go live before the video reaches
33:55stage nine?
33:57All right. And so layer one. Okay, so
34:00here again
34:01um is what layer one was was the read.
34:03Layer two then it ran as header your job
34:05and the layer three, right?
34:08And then all the different tests here.
34:09So I will actually just link to this.
34:11Draw an arrow down, Fred. Arrow down.
34:14We'll also link down here. Red red arrow
34:16down. We'll also link down here so you
34:18can see what mine came back
34:20um cuz there's nothing in here that can
34:23um yep, there's nothing in here that is
34:27a key or anything like that. So perfect.
34:28So
34:30um what did it want me to do again? What
34:31did it say here? Let's answer these
34:32three questions.
34:34Say go three calls was Okay, so it is
34:37the website. Um, it belongs to F and F
34:40website and then yes.
34:42So,
34:43So, here it is right here. So, circle
34:45here again.
34:46Right here. Circle here. Before I can
34:48fix anything, I need three calls. So,
34:50we'll do this one.
34:53The website.
34:55Two.
34:57Um, F and F. Three.
35:05Yes.
35:06And it will have a placeholder for the
35:11embedded video.
35:18Go.
35:24>> [snorts]
35:24>> Okay, so now Fred is going to go and fix
35:28all of these issues for me.
35:30Um,
35:32and remember, I'll go ahead and put this
35:33thing see how thorough this is below.
35:36Right? And while Fred fixes that,
35:47All right, go received. I'm working down
35:49the list in rank order. Your three
35:51answers settle it. Right? And so, Fred
35:54is going to go off and fix this.
36:00So, yes, a second brain will rot if you
36:04leave it alone and don't take care of
36:06it. Every system does. The difference is
36:10this one you can easily check because
36:12it's one folder.
36:14It's no different than maintaining your
36:15vehicle. Everybody knows a Toyota Camry
36:17last forever, but you have to do the
36:19maintenance. Take care of your second
36:21brain and your second brain will take
36:24care of you and it will last forever.
36:27The second brain I built today goes on
36:29the same schedule as mine, every Sunday.
36:31My 4-hour auditor is also free in the
36:34description below. One folder, one
36:36agent, one desk. That's how I run over
