Hey Steemies I hope all is good with you at the start of the week!
It has been a busy one for me today!
I was kicking back chilling finally when my mind ran across one of the podcast me and my bro @michaelvenompage did with Free runner and vegan campaigner Tim Shieff!
He is a fascinating person to talk to and I think meeting him in person is the best way to appreciate him as he has some views that many would dismiss!
I remember seeing him a good few years back doing Free Running at a comp by South Bank and he was a bit bigger back then!
I was amazed that a guy around my size at the time could do so many incredible things.
Fast forward and Mike tells me he's meeting this guy to do some free running called Tim Shieff I did'nt remember that name from the comp I remembered Live Wire. Free running was new too me as sport to watch so was not to familier with the practitioners.
When I met him I had this thing in my head that I head seen him somewhere before but the guy I was thinking of was much bigger in build!
It turns out this was one and the same guy and had just changed up his diet!
He had now gone vegan!

He took Mike and I through some moves on the bars at a centre in east London and I was shocked at how immobile I had got over the years as I was that kid that climbed and scaled everything!
The biggest thing was the fear I had aquired of falling, hurting my self and not being able to go to work, then having to explan why!
Watching Tim and Mike they were fearless and I played around and did what I could and enjoyed watching these 2 whipper snappers just having fun.
It's great to see 2 athletes just expressing themselves and enjoying each others company.
(You can see me mouth and eyes wide open 🤣😂🤣😂 either that or on the side trying some of the safe and easy stuff)

Tim has done a lot campaigning for the vegan movement and even has an ethical clothing line.
We did not agree on a few things but what I did like is how we respected each others points as we all had some valid points which I think we both went away and thought about!
What was really interesting was his view point on the flat earth theory!
Take a listen to the show to see how things unfolded!
The flat earth "theory" is a means to control and seperation only. Its one of the oldest versions. Ancient philosiphers agued over this. Flat earth theory stems from the "Creation" idea. The gods made only this earth and we are in it. The other side is the argument. As we can see today that politics and religion are only a meens to control. Most things that are voted on, are not even close to being solutions to anything but someones bottom line.
Now the reason the "theory" continued after the great philosiphers figured more things out about our solar system, is this.
Keeping the world seperated, STILL.
During the time of the great sailors and explorers (conqurers) of the world, it was told that you had to be careful to not sail off the edge of the world. This places fear into people and therefore crushes dreams. The rich and powerful then own the oceans and they always have.
Do you follow me?

@killerbee in this world there is so much manipulation towards hyper-normalisation that when such things like this come up I often ask myself how much does it matter to me or effect my life or where I want to be! We can all sit a debate on what's real and whats not when in reality the world is experienced differently by everyone. I do understand that truths need to be understood but when you believe something you will go with all your heart! The reality is a lot of the claims for either round or flat we can not prove our selfs without the information from a third party! I say its round they say its flat! If it is flat then the same argument they bring to round earth is the same that undoes flat earth! Some times I like to listen and play devils advicate because all in all 99% planet can not prove a lot of what the believe in! The trick that 99% believe they can! That trick is a human thing which would take place with or without governments, kings, queens, priest and so forth.
You will find this in all cultures through out time.
Just like when I go to another country I like to enjoy taking something different! When I get home I cam choose if I want to keep it up or say thanks for the experience.
I follow you loud and clear 😉 I hope you can take away something from my response 😎😉👌🏽👊🏽

I am just in it for the debate and community, and i do like your response. I agree pretty much fully. I feel that, discussion and argument are different entirly. Discussion is cohesive with progress. No matter the out come, as long as we are talking AND listening,THEN WE ARE COMING TOGETHER! Obviusly i dont need to explain why argument is not productive.
Good talk.✌

100% life is about balance! As we experience life we start to understand ourselves! I think arguments are inevitable but they are avoidable! Some of us learn this in time. If we can take a positive from it we can take that we may never spend that energy on the same topic that made us argue! Or we may next time learn to engage better so that we can actual learn somthing! There are always more layers than we are priverliged to see 😊 much respects man. Good to see people on here that stimulate thoughts. 👊🏽 much love 😊

Thanks @mrgranville Mike has just announced a fight on the 25th of May in London.
He has been working hard with his team to get these fights sorted! So hopefully once he can sort out a boxing fight as well as a potential date after May for that and another MMA we will see him back on here. 😁😎👊🏽
