00:00:00 Well, I appreciate that and good morning everybody.
00:00:04 It is Sunday 11 a.m. just about on the
00:00:10 8th of October and
00:00:15 let's see here, yeah.
00:00:22 Let's talk to the listeners first. Hey Steph, I read your novel "The Future" and I
00:00:27 cried at the hope of children being raised peacefully and depressed at the
00:00:30 dysfunction of the world currently.
00:00:31 Yes, optimism has a shadow and the cast,
00:00:35 the shadow that it casts is despair and the more optimistic you become
00:00:39 the more you despair at the world as a whole
00:00:43 and I was reading about,
00:00:46 it's interesting, you know what I've got a couple of topics today.
00:00:50 I got a couple topics today. Well, of course
00:00:55 there's war and
00:01:00 there is also
00:01:04 inappropriate joy and there's also
00:01:07 women who will come flocking to men
00:01:11 as money runs out. What would you like to start with?
00:01:14 I am your willing philosophy maiden. I am your shield maiden
00:01:18 of philosophy against the ills and troubles of the world.
00:01:22 War, women, war joy, then money.
00:01:26 Money. Did I say money? I think I said money. Let's get war out of the way.
00:01:32 Wouldn't that be nice? Wouldn't
00:01:35 that be nice to get war out of the way? War?
00:01:39 Alright. Alright.
00:01:42 So, I mean, obviously everybody knows
00:01:45 but yesterday, about the 50th anniversary
00:01:49 of the 73 war, Hamas
00:01:53 launched 5,000 rockets into Israel and you can see these insane videos.
00:01:58 This is going to be just a brief touch into geopolitics. It's not politics, it's geopolitics.
00:02:03 And you can see these amazing paratroopers from Hamas
00:02:07 come and floating down in the middle of, I assume, a drug-addled rave
00:02:11 that a lot of people from Brazil apparently were at.
00:02:14 And they were rounding people up just this morning.
00:02:18 A couple hundred people were found hiding in a sewage drain pipe
00:02:22 away from all of this. There are these appalling videos
00:02:26 of drones. So you've got these IDF soldiers who think that they're undercover
00:02:31 because they're behind cars, they're behind shipping containers and so on
00:02:34 and the drones are just overhead and dropping the bombs on them.
00:02:38 It is just insane what is going on.
00:02:42 And insane is the right word. It is the right word because
00:02:46 we'll get into that.
00:02:50 Is Hamas saying that they were attacked first? I bet they are. Well, of course, they're saying it's
00:02:58 75 years of oppression, right? 75 years of oppression, being crowded up against the sea and so on.
00:03:04 So,
00:03:08 listen, tips are always gratefully appreciated. I thank you.
00:03:12 I'm being led down the garden path of geopolitics as I used to do.
00:03:17 But it's the ultimate causes, I think, that are
00:03:22 the most interesting and the most important to talk about. But if you have
00:03:25 questions
00:03:27 about this,
00:03:30 the levels of atrocities
00:03:35 seem to be high enough that it's
00:03:38 open provocation. Alright, let's see here.
00:03:45 I wonder if Israel somehow caused Hamas to attack them so they had an excuse to
00:03:50 invade the rest of Palestine, sort of like how
00:03:52 FDR allowed Pearl Harbor? Well, I mean, so the big question is
00:03:58 the hundreds of billions of dollars spent around the world for
00:04:01 intelligence agencies supposed to root out dangerous
00:04:05 to the country and this apparently, and of course, as you know,
00:04:10 of course, if you live in Israel, but Israel is in a constant state of readiness for
00:04:14 just these kinds of attacks.
00:04:17 And the big question, I think, on everyone's minds is how on earth could this
00:04:20 possibly be missed?
00:04:23 All of the surveillance, all of the intrusion, all of the listening in,
00:04:27 how is any of this chatter, any of this missed?
00:04:32 And that is a big question.
00:04:38 Very, very big question. Is there such a thing as watching too much Steph?
00:04:42 I've been listening each day and had a wild dream last night. He invited me over to
00:04:45 join him and his family for dinner so I flew to Canada. I felt very sad my
00:04:48 husband couldn't join us. What a dream it was.
00:04:50 Well, that's very nice. That's very nice.
00:04:54 If it's working for you, if philosophy is helping you,
00:04:57 then, I mean, don't think about me, think about philosophy, right?
00:05:03 If I'm an archway through which you can travel to see
00:05:07 the world of reason and evidence and virtue, fantastic.
00:05:11 So it's not so much listening to me as it is
00:05:14 being stimulated by philosophy. And if that works for you,
00:05:18 can you be too stimulated by philosophy? Does Israel have a missile defense system?
00:05:21 Yeah, they have this thing called the Iron Shield.
00:05:24 But this is the problem.
00:05:28 The problem is that whatever defense you build,
00:05:32 this is why you need free market in the realm of defense, right?
00:05:35 Whatever defense you build is going to be studied obsessively and the work
00:05:38 around is going to be found by
00:05:40 your enemies. That's inevitable. So,
00:05:43 you know, you can pour all of this money into X, Y, and Z defense
00:05:47 and then like drones come along that can drop bombs
00:05:50 right away, like basically Walmart technology,
00:05:53 and your investment is for nothing.
00:06:00 Lots of people are saying that Israel has the best info in the region.
00:06:04 There's no way they did not know about it.
00:06:07 Well,
00:06:11 there's no way they did not know about it.
00:06:15 You will never go
00:06:18 too far wrong over estimating potential mistakes.
00:06:23 Iron Dome, yeah, Iron Dome, thank you.
00:06:26 Iron Shield, I think it's the Iron Dome, yeah.
00:06:31 So, is this, you know what,
00:06:34 guessing about geopolitical implications in terms of the short term
00:06:38 is not particularly helpful, and war,
00:06:42 from a philosophical standpoint, is
00:06:47 not interesting. I mean,
00:06:51 it's horrifying, it's appalling, it's the, of course, the initiation of the use of force,
00:06:56 of which
00:06:57 states in general fester on,
00:07:00 but
00:07:03 war
00:07:07 is the result of what?
00:07:13 What is war?
00:07:16 Yes, a feared currency, certainly to some degree.
00:07:22 Child abuse, the state,
00:07:25 failed diplomacy, the origin of war and child abuse, you should definitely look at
00:07:28 that, it's on my website, freedomain.com/books.
00:07:31 Yes, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing, say it again. I don't know that quoting
00:07:35 song lyrics when people are being slaughtered is necessarily
00:07:38 the most humane approach to the situation, so you might want to cut back on that a
00:07:41 little bit.
00:07:45 Job security for the elite.
00:07:49 Censorship,
00:07:53 yes, yes,
00:07:56 yes, violence is the result
00:08:00 of censorship. Violence is a result of censorship.
00:08:07 So,
00:08:11 the path to what is happening
00:08:14 in the world at the moment, hit me with the why if you'd like to
00:08:18 know the steps that lead to what's going on
00:08:21 at the moment. Okay,
00:08:25 okay, because, I mean, obviously, there's an old saying,
00:08:29 it was some invader, and he said,
00:08:32 "Stop quoting laws to people holding swords."
00:08:37 Stop quoting laws
00:08:40 to people, and he didn't just mean legality, he meant
00:08:44 morals, like stop holding, stop
00:08:47 quoting laws to people holding swords. So how do you get
00:08:54 war? Well,
00:09:00 you banish those at war with war.
00:09:05 You banish the peacemakers, you banish the reasoners,
00:09:09 and you banish the truth-tellers. And once you banish the reasoners and the
00:09:14 peacemakers and the truth-tellers,
00:09:16 then you can get your war.
00:09:23 So, let's talk about Satan,
00:09:29 whether this is real or allegorical is not particularly
00:09:32 important at the moment. Satan is the father of what?
00:09:37 What is he called the father of?
00:09:40 Lies! That's right, Satan is the father of lies.
00:09:44 He's not the father of war,
00:09:48 he's not the father of abuse, he's not the father of violence,
00:09:52 or torture, or rape, or assault, or murder,
00:09:55 he is the father of lies.
00:09:58 Can Satan directly intervene
00:10:02 and cause things to happen in the world? No!
00:10:08 He does not have that power. How does Satan work?
00:10:11 How does he do what he wants to do?
00:10:15 He tempts.
00:10:21 He tempts with lies. He tempts with lies.
00:10:29 I remember seeing a brief video
00:10:33 of someone who had set up a booth at a
00:10:36 university campus trying to sell OnlyFans and he would
00:10:40 stop these pretty girls and he would say, "You should have an OnlyFans channel."
00:10:44 And the girls, one of the girls said, "I don't think my father would really approve
00:10:48 of that or go for that." And he said, "He wouldn't mind if you gave him a Lamborghini."
00:10:54 He tempts you with lies.
00:10:58 He tempts you with lies.
00:11:05 Why are Satan's lies
00:11:10 tempting? What does Satan have to do to your consciousness
00:11:14 to raise the temptation of lies
00:11:18 the greatest?
00:11:24 He tells you what you want to hear. I mean, a lot of people do that.
00:11:28 A lot of people do that. Appeal to your lower taste.
00:11:32 Yes, a lot of people do that too. And there's nothing wrong with having...
00:11:35 I was just making some coffee this morning and I saw an ad with a fork
00:11:39 holding up a nice piece of juicy steak and it was like
00:11:42 yum for breakfast and it looked good.
00:11:46 So, I mean, there's nothing wrong with appealing to your lower taste, your
00:11:50 sort of animal nature, your mammalian nature. There's nothing wrong with that.
00:11:54 He tempts you with short-term pleasure
00:11:59 at the expense of long-term happiness. Yes,
00:12:02 yes, yes. Short... I mean, you can put it any way you want. The way that I would put it
00:12:07 is what the devil does is he shortens your time horizon.
00:12:14 He shortens your time horizon.
00:12:20 I mean, my dear Lord above,
00:12:25 life is long.
00:12:29 I mean, I feel like I've lived about 15 different lifetimes.
00:12:32 I've still got 30 years or more to go.
00:12:38 Life is long, man.
00:12:42 And Satan says, "There's no future, be happy now.
00:12:48 Do what thou will, it shall be the whole of the law."
00:12:51 What's important now is the short-term
00:12:55 pursuit of pleasure or avoidance of pain.
00:13:02 Your dad will be happy if
00:13:08 your bleached butt can buy him a Lamborghini.
00:13:11 Boy, there's a sentence I wasn't expecting to say today, but
00:13:14 nonetheless, it fits, right?
00:13:21 Now, short-term
00:13:27 wealth, fame, success, whatever it is,
00:13:31 he doesn't have you think of
00:13:34 really the second half of your life, right? Doesn't really have you think of the second...
00:13:38 I mean, it's funny because nobody ever taught me to think of the second half my
00:13:41 life except maybe a couple of doctors, you know, don't do this, don't do that.
00:13:44 Don't smoke, whatever. But it was actually Carl Gustav Jung, the psychologist, who
00:13:49 helped me to sort of think of the second half of my life when I was in my early
00:13:52 twenties. I went through a whole phase of reading
00:13:54 Jung endlessly because I was really working on self-knowledge and deep,
00:13:57 sort of, dream-based stuff. I read Freud's "Interpretation of Dreams." I read a lot of stuff from
00:14:02 Jung. And Jung said about the second half of your life. So the first half of your life is
00:14:07 about striving and
00:14:08 will and action. The last half of your life is more about
00:14:13 consolidation and reaping the rewards of your actions and you don't want to
00:14:16 strive. You want to strive when you're young but you don't want to strive
00:14:19 forever because it'll burn you out.
00:14:20 So it's a sort of tipping point, right? And I remember thinking about that.
00:14:24 Okay, I've got a plan for the second half of my life. Got a plan for the second half of my life.
00:14:27 And everyone who takes risks
00:14:31 incomprehensible to the general population is doing so.
00:14:35 Why? Why? Why do we take such crazy risks? Why do we go out on a limb? Why do we tell
00:14:40 the truth though it brings
00:14:42 hellfire down upon our heads? Why? Because we're thinking of the second half
00:14:46 of our life and the conscience we're gonna have to live with.
00:14:53 The conscience
00:14:54 we're gonna have to live with.
00:15:01 So I always think of my conscience
00:15:05 as an earnest,
00:15:08 insomniac, prickly roommate.
00:15:11 If he loves you,
00:15:16 there's almost nothing you can't do. If he hates you,
00:15:20 there's almost nothing you can't do. If you appease him,
00:15:25 he will not respect you. If you honor him,
00:15:29 he honors you in return. If you attempt to manipulate him,
00:15:36 he will drain you of energy and inspiration.
00:15:39 If you attempt to bully him,
00:15:42 he will acquiesce and brittle your bones.
00:15:46 And you don't hear much talk about
00:15:53 the conscience anymore. Do you? Do you? Do you?
00:15:56 I don't really hear much. I grew up,
00:16:00 people talked about the conscience a lot. Even the Jiminy Cricket stuff, right? You
00:16:03 don't hear much
00:16:04 about the conscience anymore.
00:16:08 That's not an accident. That's not an accident.
00:16:12 Brittle your bones. Yeah, it just means that
00:16:17 if you bully your conscience, right? Everyone's doing it.
00:16:21 It's fine. Stop being such a prude. It's fine. It's okay.
00:16:24 Then he'll be like, "Hey man, fine." But he brittles your bones in that he weakens
00:16:31 your entire structure.
00:16:32 You become tremulous, aggressive. You don't get peace. You can't stand on your
00:16:38 own two feet. You constantly need prop up and support and
00:16:40 ego boosting. Sorry, that was mildly
00:16:44 poetic. And so when you
00:16:50 talk to the world about the long-term consequences
00:16:54 of moral decisions, that's when you get
00:16:58 slashed because that is what provokes the conscience.
00:17:04 Right?
00:17:11 So when I talked about
00:17:15 the long-term consequences of female fertility,
00:17:18 right? When I said, "You're mostly fertile at 40. You're gonna live to be 80 or 90.
00:17:25 What are you gonna do for those 40 or 50 years?"
00:17:27 That is saying you've got a second half of life that you need to build
00:17:32 towards, that you need to take care of, that you need to respect.
00:17:36 You know, like the second half of your life is largely built
00:17:40 on the health decisions of the first half of your life. And reminding you of the
00:17:47 second half
00:17:48 of your life is reminding you that you have a roommate,
00:17:52 that you dominate when you're young, but he will dominate you when you get older.
00:17:56 So you better get along with him
00:17:57 so he doesn't F you up later. Because when you're young
00:18:02 you can dominate your conscience, right?
00:18:05 I mean, you've got youth, you've got vitality, you've got energy, you've got beauty,
00:18:10 you've got peers, you've got ambition, you've got drive.
00:18:15 So you can rev up the chainsaw of your ambition
00:18:20 and motivation and drown out
00:18:25 the murmur of the conscience. But
00:18:29 I'm telling you, friends, as you age, as you age,
00:18:33 your will
00:18:37 depletes and your conscience
00:18:40 strengthens. Your distractions vanish
00:18:44 and that burning sore in eye
00:18:47 that judges what you do irrevocably, unarguably,
00:18:51 beyond manipulation, the objective
00:18:55 universal scribe of
00:18:59 everything you do and have done, who writes
00:19:04 on the very fabric of your being in letters visible from space that can
00:19:07 never be erased.
00:19:08 If you F your roommate when you're young,
00:19:12 he will F you back when you're older.
00:19:19 Midlife crisis.
00:19:26 That's right. What is a midlife crisis? You need to will the impossible
00:19:33 to achieve anything when you're young.
00:19:37 A midlife crisis
00:19:41 is when you realize that your will is powerless against your conscience.
00:19:46 Your will is powerless against your conscience.
00:19:52 Your intellect is powerless against your conscience.
00:19:56 So all these people who are like, "Oh, there's no such thing as truth, there's no
00:20:01 such thing as morality, there's no such thing maybe even of reality." It's just a
00:20:04 bunch of nonsense that they use
00:20:06 to cloud other people's conscience so that they can
00:20:09 exploit them. Everyone who tells you
00:20:13 anything is unreal is targeting one thing and one thing only.
00:20:17 When they tell you something is unreal, up is down, black is white, two and two make
00:20:22 five, a woman can have sex with a tree
00:20:24 and make a baby, which I actually heard
00:20:27 in a debate I had with a university professor some years ago.
00:20:31 Anybody who tells you reality is unreal,
00:20:36 there's no such thing as truth, there's no such thing as
00:20:40 objectivity, reason is not universal.
00:20:43 Anybody who attacks universality
00:20:46 is attacking one thing within you and one thing only, and that is your
00:20:49 conscience.
00:20:51 And how greedily do we grasp at that?
00:20:54 How greedily do we grasp at that willing fog
00:20:58 of unreality and dive into that foggy nothingness of pretending to be able to
00:21:03 erase our own conscience,
00:21:05 which we cannot do.
00:21:10 Which we cannot do.
00:21:14 And what happens is people who swallow the
00:21:19 jagged nonsense pill of unreality
00:21:23 find out, often too late, that the only real thing left in their entire existence
00:21:27 is their inexorable and implacable conscience
00:21:35 and when they believe that things were unreal,
00:21:38 the only thing that vanished was their ego and the only thing that remains
00:21:43 is their conscience.
00:21:59 Does this make sense?
00:22:06 They must get you to believe things that are unreal so you stop believing in your
00:22:09 own conscience
00:22:12 and like water against a cliff, the water shatters and dissipates
00:22:16 and the only thing that's left is the cliff.
00:22:23 I wrote in my novel The God of Atheists,
00:22:28 defenses often overwhelm and replace
00:22:32 the personality they were originally
00:22:35 designed to protect.
00:22:37 Nineteen times out of twenty the life of the mind arises
00:22:40 from the grave
00:22:41 of the heart.
00:22:43 Learning, in other words,
00:22:45 is loss.
00:22:54 Shall I keep going? Is this helpful?
00:23:01 If you could hold off,
00:23:10 if I'm in the middle of a flow, if you could hold off from your questions just
00:23:13 put them in notepad or whatever
00:23:15 when I'm done.
00:23:16 It helps me a little bit to
00:23:19 not be distracted
00:23:21 and just to favor, I'm asking.
00:23:23 It's not a good or bad or right or wrong.
00:23:26 Why can we not
00:23:28 erase our conscience?
00:23:30 Why can't we will our conscience
00:23:33 out of existence? Why can we not dominate our conscience?
00:23:40 We should be able to, I mean we apparently can will just about everything
00:23:44 else, basic biology,
00:23:47 universal morality, facts, math,
00:23:49 science, we can will all of that stuff out of existence. Why
00:23:53 is the conscience unerasable?
00:23:57 It would kill us, evolution will not allow it.
00:24:00 It's fundamental to being human.
00:24:07 Our conscience are trying to protect us.
00:24:14 No.
00:24:16 Absolutely not.
00:24:18 I mean when you're young, yes your conscience is trying to protect you,
00:24:21 but you understand
00:24:23 if you make
00:24:24 catastrophic
00:24:25 moral decisions and you don't make restitution,
00:24:30 your conscience makes you miserable
00:24:32 as an example to others.
00:24:34 Your conscience is not trying to protect you if you F your conscience.
00:24:39 Your conscience will strip you of joy, of happiness, of peace of mind, of security,
00:24:43 of serenity, of sleep
00:24:45 and you wander around miserable as an example
00:24:48 to everyone else
00:24:50 to listen
00:24:51 and plan.
00:24:54 Your conscience is not designed to protect you, your conscience is designed to
00:24:57 protect humanity.
00:25:02 Do you see what I mean?
00:25:04 You know these miserable people don't you in your life? You know these
00:25:06 miserable people who've messed everything up, who've
00:25:08 become brittle and bitter and aggressive and
00:25:13 soul murderous in their own way.
00:25:15 Their conscience is not protecting them, their conscience is using them to warn
00:25:19 you what happens
00:25:22 if you don't listen.
00:25:29 Do you know what my mother
00:25:32 and my father and other family members were?
00:25:36 They were giant warnings
00:25:38 saying
00:25:40 get away.
00:25:41 Do not go down this path. This is the end result.
00:25:48 Your conscience is infinite, your conscience is universal.
00:25:56 It is not
00:25:58 focused on you.
00:26:02 It is focused on
00:26:03 universals.
00:26:07 The foundational aspect of humanity is our capacity for universals,
00:26:12 for conceptual universals.
00:26:15 You throw a frisbee, a dog
00:26:17 can catch the frisbee. It knows where it's going, it knows the balance, it knows
00:26:20 the
00:26:21 air resistance, it knows the wobble.
00:26:25 So you throw a frisbee at a dog, but a dog cannot define the trajectory of a
00:26:29 frisbee in abstract
00:26:33 mathematical universal conceptual terms.
00:26:37 So the foundation
00:26:39 of our morals
00:26:43 to the guy with his mother screaming in his head, I asked, and please listen,
00:26:46 please listen,
00:26:48 for you to hold off, because I need to track whether people are following and
00:26:51 when I get distracting comments it's not helpful to me, I promise I will get to
00:26:54 it,
00:26:55 but please hold off.
00:27:02 It's a sensitive conversation that we're involved in.
00:27:06 I mean, please listen, when I make a request you don't have to agree,
00:27:10 but if you could acknowledge it that would be helpful.
00:27:13 It's kind of polite, right, if I make a request
00:27:15 when I'm providing a service for free,
00:27:17 could be reasonable, right?
00:27:20 Because you understand your mother's voice is in your head because she wants
00:27:22 to stop me from what I'm saying.
00:27:26 So what's foundational to us as human beings is our capacity for conceptual
00:27:29 universals
00:27:31 and we can only survive, only survive,
00:27:37 by deploying
00:27:38 our capacity for conceptuals, for universals, I just call them universals, right?
00:27:43 So if somebody tells you
00:27:45 everything is subjective, they're using objectively defined words to communicate
00:27:49 that everything is subjective.
00:27:54 Nothing is true is a universal statement of truth
00:27:57 contradicts itself.
00:28:03 Can we survive if we believe,
00:28:09 genuinely believe that nothing is real and nothing is true? Can we survive
00:28:14 if we genuinely believe nothing is real and nothing is true? No.
00:28:27 We can only survive and thrive through universals.
00:28:29 If you believe
00:28:31 that water
00:28:32 is both beneficial and a poison,
00:28:34 can you survive? If you believe that water does not exist or food does not
00:28:37 exist
00:28:39 or your body does not exist, can you survive? If you believe
00:28:43 that walls don't exist,
00:28:45 would you ever
00:28:46 try to leave through the door? No, you'd try to walk through the wall.
00:28:56 So we can only survive
00:28:59 based on universals.
00:29:01 Now we could of course theoretically say, well, you know, some guy lives alone in the
00:29:04 woods, he doesn't speak to anyone, he's not using, okay fine, but they're not part
00:29:07 of society, they're not part of
00:29:09 any of our collective consciousness, they're just some guy out in the woods. So we're talking
00:29:12 about people who are in
00:29:13 reality, moving, transporting themselves, speaking, listening, making arguments,
00:29:18 they're all
00:29:19 participating
00:29:20 and relying on and surviving and existing only on
00:29:24 the absolute
00:29:27 and truthful nature of universals.
00:29:29 Can we agree on that? If we don't, that's fine, we can
00:29:32 take another run at it.
00:29:39 So, I want you to think of your conscience
00:29:47 as an organism.
00:29:49 It's an organism subject to all of the same
00:29:54 Darwinian
00:29:56 requirements and pressures and survival pressures, right?
00:30:01 The conscience is something that wants to
00:30:05 survive in you, inform you,
00:30:07 and also protect
00:30:09 its fellow beasts in your head.
00:30:14 Think of it
00:30:15 as
00:30:16 an organism.
00:30:17 And I'll sort of, I know that an analogy is not proof, I understand that, so just
00:30:21 bear with me.
00:30:24 Your conscience wishes to protect itself
00:30:27 by informing you,
00:30:30 but it also wishes to protect
00:30:34 the conscience of other people.
00:30:37 Now, what happens
00:30:39 if you
00:30:40 attack a creature who is part of a tribe?
00:30:44 What happens if you attack a creature who is part of a group, a tribe, a pack,
00:30:48 a pod, whatever?
00:30:55 Yeah, the others attack you.
00:30:58 You raise the ire of the pack. You are now
00:31:00 subject to multiple attacks.
00:31:03 Yeah, you get the whole team against you.
00:31:06 So if you're out there, not, this is not you guys, but
00:31:09 if you're out there in the world attacking universality, which means
00:31:12 attacking the conscience,
00:31:13 the conscience attacks you back.
00:31:18 And not just your own conscience,
00:31:19 but the conscience of the world,
00:31:22 the pack.
00:31:24 You are surrounded
00:31:26 by a giant, beautiful, dangerous, deadly pack
00:31:30 of the most insanely beneficial potential predators
00:31:34 that the universe can conceive of,
00:31:36 called the collective conscience of everyone.
00:31:44 You live
00:31:51 in a constellation
00:31:54 of potential
00:31:55 benefits and curses,
00:31:57 of elevations and degradations,
00:32:01 of thriving
00:32:02 and slaughtering.
00:32:04 You are surrounded by them.
00:32:08 You are wired into them.
00:32:09 It's larger, deeper, and wider than any
00:32:11 particular individual.
00:32:16 And if you F with the conscience, not just your own
00:32:18 conscience will F you back,
00:32:21 but everybody's conscience will.
00:32:28 It's a collective conscience because everyone has access to universals.
00:32:32 No, we don't have access to universals.
00:32:36 We don't have access to universals.
00:32:39 Please understand this.
00:32:41 We are
00:32:43 universals.
00:32:46 That's all we are because even the concept of we is a universal.
00:32:52 Humanity,
00:32:53 mammal,
00:32:54 virtue, truth,
00:32:55 reason, evidence, science, these are all universals.
00:32:59 And it is everything that is universal that defines us specifically
00:33:05 as universals.
00:33:07 We live inside of universality.
00:33:09 No.
00:33:11 Universality
00:33:13 is not separate from us.
00:33:14 We don't live in it, we don't use it, we don't manipulate it, we don't possess it,
00:33:17 we don't define it.
00:33:18 We are
00:33:19 universals.
00:33:22 We are universals.
00:33:28 This is how you
00:33:31 merge individualism with collectivism, right?
00:33:39 Collectivism says that universals are superior to individual instances,
00:33:44 which is not true.
00:33:48 We are universals.
00:33:50 And listen, it just, honestly, I mean I hate to be like the proof is in the mirror,
00:33:54 but you just think of this entire conversation is based on universals.
00:33:57 The transmission of this electronic information is all
00:34:00 predicated on the science of universals. Everything that you do in your life is
00:34:04 predicated on universals. The electricity that comes to your house,
00:34:07 the power in your car, the radiation in your cell phone, the
00:34:13 ingredients on your hair cream, all of it is predicated on universals.
00:34:16 Everything is delivered
00:34:17 that sustains your life is predicated on universals.
00:34:20 And you can't live
00:34:23 in the life of the mind
00:34:24 without universals. Hell, you can't even go to sleep without universals.
00:34:27 What do you think your dreams are assembled from? Why are they coherent
00:34:32 in some fashion? Well, you don't understand the meaning, but you certainly know what
00:34:35 happened.
00:34:35 We can't even sleep
00:34:37 without experiencing universals. We are universal machines. We are universals.
00:34:41 This is why the concept of the soul
00:34:43 is so universal.
00:34:45 We are
00:34:46 universals.
00:34:50 Saying that I'm a mere atomized individual is like saying
00:34:53 only I have a kidney.
00:34:59 We are universals. Humanity is defined by universals.
00:35:06 You either accept that
00:35:08 or you use the universals to try to overturn universals.
00:35:13 You follow?
00:35:20 Can you explain the conflict between universals and individual instances then?
00:35:27 Sure. Universals describe and conceptualize the common characteristics of
00:35:31 individual
00:35:32 instances.
00:35:36 So
00:35:37 one tree standing alone in a field--what was that tree that was just cut down, that
00:35:40 famous tree that was cut down by some teenagers recently--
00:35:43 so one tree standing alone in a field is not a forest.
00:35:46 Two trees is not a forest. Three trees--maybe you get a corpse
00:35:49 and then eventually you get enough, you get streds for a long time.
00:35:54 Now the concept of forest
00:35:57 cannot overturn the characteristics of any of the members of that forest. So the
00:36:00 concept forest
00:36:02 can't say, "Well, the concept forest also includes a bouncing rubber ball."
00:36:07 No. Bouncing rubber ball is not part of the conception of the forest. The forest is a
00:36:10 relationship
00:36:11 of trees and undergrowth
00:36:13 and a particular geographical area
00:36:15 and an ecosystem
00:36:17 that survives.
00:36:20 So the concept of forest can't overturn the characteristics of any individual
00:36:24 member of that.
00:36:26 I've always said this. Concepts are imperfectly derived from instances.
00:36:30 I know this is kind of technical, but
00:36:32 hopefully the analogies
00:36:34 make sense. So if you have a crowd of people, you can say, "Oh, that's a crowd of
00:36:37 people."
00:36:38 Can the crowd of people also include a lamppost or a cobblestone? No.
00:36:43 Because it's a crowd of people.
00:36:46 And so the concept of the crowd can't override any of the individual
00:36:50 characteristics of the people because it's derived from the existence of the
00:36:53 people.
00:36:56 Does a crowd of people also include a lizard
00:36:59 and a mote of dust?
00:37:00 I mean, they could be somewhere in there, but that's not part of the crowd of
00:37:03 people. The crowd of people is human bipeds in a particular aggregation.
00:37:07 So the concept can never ever override
00:37:11 the individual manifestation.
00:37:13 You can't say, "Well,
00:37:15 all mammals are warm-blooded, but I'm going to throw in this tadpole as well."
00:37:21 Because a tadpole is not warm-blooded.
00:37:25 So when you say
00:37:27 X group of animals are warm-blooded, every single one of them has to be
00:37:30 warm-blooded.
00:37:31 And you can't use the concept derived from the physical characteristics of the
00:37:35 instances to override any physical characteristics of the instance.
00:37:42 If somebody says, "I'm going to pay you a thousand dollars," and then they throw in
00:37:46 three hundred dollars and four bananas, you'd be like,
00:37:49 "No, no.
00:37:50 You said a thousand dollars. That means a thousand dollars. That doesn't mean
00:37:53 anything other than that."
00:37:58 Edward says, "I loved your talk on imposter syndrome the other day. It's completely
00:38:01 changed my understanding of it,
00:38:02 and it's taken the potency out of it. Thanks."
00:38:04 Just for those who joined later, I appreciate that comment and that
00:38:07 tip, but if you could hold off,
00:38:09 because we're getting to war here.
00:38:14 Oh my God.
00:38:16 Why are you people not listening? Have you read Martin Buber's Philosophy?
00:38:20 I'm in the middle of a flow, people, for God's sakes. Listen.
00:38:25 Is this only a one-way conversation? Is there no input
00:38:28 in your minds? I'm asking you to hold off,
00:38:31 and I'm going to have to start kicking people, because I've really asked nicely.
00:38:34 I really have asked nicely. I'm in the middle of a flow trying to explain war, and
00:38:37 everyone's like, "But I have a thing. I have a thing."
00:38:40 Okay, it's fine if you only just joined, but in general, if somebody's in the middle
00:38:44 of a flow, asking you a question is going to interrupt that flow.
00:38:48 No, seriously. If somebody's in the middle of a flow,
00:38:51 and I'm in the middle of making a long, lengthy argument, I either
00:38:54 completely ignore the comments, which means I might as well just do the show
00:38:57 solo, or
00:38:59 I'm constantly distracted. You say, "Ah, Steph, but you shouldn't be distracted."
00:39:02 No, no, because I'm reading, right? So it's just a politeness thing.
00:39:06 Let me finish my speech,
00:39:09 and then I will answer your questions. But what are you guys like? If somebody's
00:39:13 telling a story, do you just keep interrupting them?
00:39:16 And say, "You know, I got a little mole here. I don't know what that is."
00:39:19 "I got a strange twinge in my kidney." Or, "I had a really wild dream." Will you let people
00:39:22 tell their stories? Will you let people finish their conversation before...
00:39:25 You know, it's kind of intrusive, and it's kind of rude, to be honest with you. And I'm
00:39:28 telling you this not because of this philosophy show. This is just a thing in
00:39:31 your whole life.
00:39:33 It's a thing in your whole life.
00:39:37 Try not to interrupt people, and then, of course, you have the right to not be
00:39:39 interrupted,
00:39:40 so that's fair as well. Try not to interrupt people.
00:39:46 It's intrusive, and it's annoying to people who are trying to communicate
00:39:50 something.
00:39:51 And so the people who are good at communicating stuff, you want them in
00:39:54 your life, right? So
00:39:55 they're not going to want to be in your life if you keep interrupting.
00:40:00 Trying to help. So, we are
00:40:03 universals. Nothing more, nothing less. Now,
00:40:07 you can't survive without universals,
00:40:10 and your conscience is the comparison
00:40:16 between your words and your deeds.
00:40:22 Your conscience is your comparison between your words and your deeds.
00:40:26 So, if your deeds are, "I absolutely
00:40:29 have to accept and live by universals in order to live,"
00:40:35 which we all do. We have to accept and live by universals in order to survive.
00:40:40 If your conscience notes, or
00:40:43 sees, or understands that you
00:40:46 argue against that which you are using to survive,
00:40:53 that you are arguing against that which you are using to survive,
00:40:58 well, what does your conscience think if you go around telling people,
00:41:04 "Nothing is real, nothing is true, everything is subjective, up is down, black is white,
00:41:07 mammals are lizards."
00:41:11 What does your conscience think of you prattling on
00:41:15 about how the universals you need to survive
00:41:22 are untrue or false, and you are communicating that to others. And not only are you
00:41:27 living according to universals, you're communicating according to the
00:41:30 universals of language.
00:41:32 So, you're using the universals and truth value of language to tell people the
00:41:35 universals and truth value don't exist.
00:41:41 Now, what happens evolutionarily speaking
00:41:44 if you actually convince other people? Right? What happens
00:41:47 evolutionarily speaking if you're such a great sophist that you actually convince
00:41:51 other people that nothing is real and nothing is true? What happens
00:41:56 to that tribe? What happens to that group?
00:42:03 Yeah, they die off. They absolutely die off. They're like the guys
00:42:11 who cut all their balls off to go and join the Hali-Bab combat, right?
00:42:14 They go extinct, right?
00:42:18 So,
00:42:25 your conscience is the constant
00:42:29 seismographic recording of
00:42:32 "Are you dangerously full of shite?
00:42:37 Are you like a mind virus that is talking other people
00:42:41 out of their means to live?"
00:42:48 You understand I'm not talking about history. This is where we are right now.
00:42:52 This is constant assault on truth, on reality, on reason, on empiricism.
00:42:59 This is not the distant past.
00:43:06 This is the near future and the current present.
00:43:12 Gaslighting, you have it with gaslighting. If you were abused as a child, you confront your
00:43:16 abuser, "Oh, it didn't happen.
00:43:18 You don't remember. It was different. I was under a lot of stress.
00:43:21 Of course, when they abused you as a kid, they didn't say, "Well, I abused you
00:43:25 because I was under a lot of stress." They say, "Well, you're a bad kid and you need to be
00:43:28 punished," right?
00:43:33 And don't you feel this? I have always felt this unreality is this constant assault.
00:43:40 Like an endless cloud of tiny, death-laden, poisonous mosquitoes constantly trying to
00:43:45 sting you and infect you.
00:43:51 Like holding fast against a storm like that
00:43:56 19th century painter who wanted to paint a vivid storm so he had himself tied to
00:44:01 the mast of a ship during a storm so he could see it with his own eyes.
00:44:06 This constant undoing of everything that is real, subversion
00:44:11 of reality. It's demonic.
00:44:15 It's demonic. Father of lies. Satan is the father of lies.
00:44:22 And the atheists, of course, are living like
00:44:32 they will never... Isn't this the case? Satanists...
00:44:35 The Satanists, obviously. The hedonists, the atheists, the secularists.
00:44:39 Are they not living like they will never
00:44:43 be held to account? Because they don't believe in St. Peter, the Book of Life,
00:44:50 the pearly gates,
00:44:54 the all-seeing, all-moral examination
00:44:58 of every moral choice you ever made in this life.
00:45:02 They believe they will never be held
00:45:06 to account.
00:45:12 Isn't this why as religion falls, society gets worse and worse.
00:45:17 Thank God! Thank God God is gone!
00:45:20 Is this going to be on the test? There is no test. There's no marks. There's no
00:45:24 evaluation. So do what you want. Do what feels good.
00:45:27 Do what you like.
00:45:34 They genuinely believe
00:45:42 they will never be held to account.
00:45:46 Do you believe that?
00:45:50 Give it a few years. No, no, no. What I'm saying is that you're perpetually held to
00:45:53 account.
00:45:54 You're perpetually held to account. Do you believe
00:45:58 that you are held to account morally?
00:46:03 Of course, if you're a Christian, you will believe that.
00:46:09 Definitely, yes.
00:46:14 If you're not Christian, what holds you
00:46:18 to account? If you're not Christian, what holds you to account?
00:46:25 It's not God. No afterlife.
00:46:29 Your conscience? Right. Right.
00:46:38 So your conscience is at peace with you
00:46:41 if you promote reason, truth, and objectivity. If you promote the
00:46:45 universals you need to survive, then you're not
00:46:48 a mealy-mouthed, fiery-eyed hypocrite seeking to dismantle the survival
00:46:52 mechanisms of everyone around you
00:46:54 because of murderous rage about your abuse as a child.
00:46:57 To sort of compact it down. Conscience equals God. No.
00:47:07 No.
00:47:11 No.
00:47:13 Your conscience is the part of you
00:47:20 that endlessly examines,
00:47:23 transcribes, and denotes
00:47:26 the contradictions between
00:47:30 your words and your deeds. Now you understand
00:47:35 since we are conceptual beings, anything and everything that we do
00:47:39 to attack and undermine concepts and truth
00:47:42 is fundamentally destructive
00:47:46 to the soul, conscience, life,
00:47:49 mind, virtue, and society of everyone around us.
00:48:02 Do the hedonists not feel the collective conscience?
00:48:09 What is the biggest agency of dismantling the conscience
00:48:15 in the modern world? It's not the media.
00:48:18 That's just an effect. What is the biggest
00:48:22 agent of dismantling the conscience in the modern world?
00:48:28 Yeah, school system. Yeah, for sure. Now school has
00:48:33 significantly more impact on children than parents do.
00:48:37 So have you ever noticed that children
00:48:40 who are skeptical of the authority of their parents generally
00:48:44 are kind of nervous of their teachers, right? So they'll fight back hard
00:48:48 with their parents, but they won't fight back hard with their teachers because they have the bond
00:48:51 with their parents, but they don't have the bond with the teachers.
00:48:55 And also when you fight back hard against your parents,
00:48:58 you don't have peers who are impatient or mocking you, but if you fight back against
00:49:01 your teachers, what do your peers often say? "Oh,
00:49:03 just go along. We want to get out to recess."
00:49:07 Well, they fear their teachers more than they fear their parents, so the teachers are a more
00:49:11 effective way of
00:49:12 acting against the conscience, right?
00:49:24 When people do wrong, they know they're being hypocrites. They feel uneasy deep
00:49:28 down.
00:49:29 And listen, I've been there too. I'm far from perfect in this life, right?
00:49:33 Been there too. For me it was 18 months,
00:49:36 20 months of insomnia when I was not living my values.
00:49:41 So what do people do to escape their bad conscience?
00:49:47 If you want to know what's going on in the world, what do people do?
00:49:50 Yep, they drink. Absolutely. They drink.
00:49:54 They consume. They buy things. Absolutely. It's a great high in buying things, particularly
00:49:57 women.
00:49:58 That's what malls are for. Malls are cathedrals of conscience avoidance.
00:50:03 They drink. They consume.
00:50:09 Thank you for the tip. I appreciate that. Distraction? Yeah.
00:50:12 Pornography, video games. Is a social credit score a substitute for the
00:50:17 conscience? No.
00:50:18 A social credit score is a replacement for
00:50:22 the ignoring of the conscience. Yes, sex,
00:50:25 drugs, of course. They attempt to merge
00:50:28 into a mindless collective such as cheering for sports.
00:50:32 Right? Smoke a lot of weed. Yeah. They swipe right. Yeah, that's right.
00:50:36 They post... they go for status. They go for power. They go for
00:50:40 dopamine.
00:50:42 They travel. Yes, that's right. They travel.
00:50:49 I mean, this woman on Twitter,
00:50:54 Pearl Davis, Pearly Things or something like that. She's Pearl Davis.
00:50:59 I see her occasionally and she's one of the...
00:51:03 God love her. One of the missions she's after is to remind women that they lose
00:51:07 their attractiveness, their physical attractiveness
00:51:10 fades out as they age. So she's got this thing where she says,
00:51:13 unless you were obese when you were younger,
00:51:16 if you're 35 you're not as attractive as when you were 20.
00:51:23 How this could be a controversial statement
00:51:27 is... but why do women hate that? Why do women hate the fact...
00:51:32 Look, am I as attractive now as when I was 20 or when I was 30 or when I was 40?
00:51:37 I mean, I've lost a little weight over the last sort of 15 years.
00:51:40 I don't know, 20, 30 pounds, something like that. So, you know,
00:51:43 a little bit. It's a losing battle.
00:51:46 It's a losing battle, obviously, right?
00:51:53 Why...
00:51:59 Why do women, not all of course, but why do so many women...
00:52:03 Like, it's actually kind of sad, right? So she says,
00:52:06 you're not as attractive at 35 as you were at 20,
00:52:10 and what do these women keep doing? What do these women keep doing? What do they keep
00:52:14 posting?
00:52:15 It's gross. What do they keep posting under this?
00:52:18 Well, they attack her, of course, right?
00:52:23 Yeah, they keep posting their
00:52:26 semi-nude, nipple-tastic pics of their middle-aged beluga bodies.
00:52:33 Or they say, oh, they'll post a picture of an unattractive 20-year-old and
00:52:38 then an attractive 35-year-old and saying, well, the 35-year-old is more
00:52:41 attractive than a 20-year-old, but it's a different person, so it doesn't matter.
00:52:44 It doesn't count.
00:52:50 Why do women... and the same thing happened with me, of course, right? So why do
00:52:53 women... Why do so many women hate
00:52:56 the reality that they're going to age out of their looks?
00:52:59 Because, I mean, doesn't everybody know this?
00:53:03 I was at brunch the other day with my daughter, and
00:53:06 we were talking about this family, a couple of tables over,
00:53:10 where it was grandparents and grandchildren, right? And
00:53:13 the grandsons were, I think, in their late teens or early twenties, and you know,
00:53:17 good-looking boys, you know, shiny hair, beautiful clear skin, and all of that.
00:53:21 And, you know, the grandparents were, you know, the grizzled old Mount Rushmore,
00:53:24 crusty-faced crypt keepers that we all, with any
00:53:27 good luck, turn into. And I was saying, like, isn't it wild
00:53:32 that you go from this to this? That you go from these young, gorgeous specimens to
00:53:38 these old, crusty crypt keepers? If you're lucky, the old, crusty crypt keepers are
00:53:42 the ones who've made it. They're the most successful you can possibly be.
00:53:46 I said, isn't it wild? Now, I'm on that journey, obviously, right? Got a little bit of
00:53:51 wattle here, and, you know, hair's gone gray, and beard's gone gray, so...
00:53:55 And, you know, when I get up, I make sounds now. I now come with a
00:54:00 soundtrack. Before, I was a silent movie, now I'm like...
00:54:04 Just a little sound, a little sound. That's fine. I mean,
00:54:07 I think I'm aging pretty well, but, you know,
00:54:11 it happens. It happens.
00:54:15 I used to heal, now I have to massage. Anyway, so,
00:54:18 why do women hate so much?
00:54:22 The fact. Now, nobody's going to look at an 80-year-old woman and say she's as
00:54:25 attractive as a 20-year-old woman.
00:54:26 So, everybody... Like, at the extremes, it's kind of a weird thing in life, right?
00:54:30 People look at these two extremes, and they say, "Well, yes,
00:54:35 that's young, and that's attractive. 80-year-old, not attractive."
00:54:39 And they... But they think, what, it just happens at 79 and a half, just, boom!
00:54:43 You know, just boom, right? Kate Beckinsale
00:54:47 looks pretty good at 50. I had a dream about her.
00:54:50 She's the only woman over 33 I would consider doing it with.
00:54:55 Yes, but you'd have to also absorb all the demon blood she uses to keep young.
00:54:58 I'm just kidding. I don't know much about Kate Beckinsale. Okay, so why does she look
00:55:02 pretty good at 50?
00:55:03 Right? Why does she look pretty good at 50?
00:55:07 Why does Kate Beckinsale look pretty good at 50? What does she look like?
00:55:11 She looks like she's 25 or 30.
00:55:14 Hello? She only looks good because she looks younger.
00:55:20 Yes, and of course, she's got, I mean, J. Lo has this whole
00:55:23 routine, $40,000 facial stimulator or fog thing or whatever, right?
00:55:29 So, I mean, that's their job to look good.
00:55:32 Sofia Vergara, yeah, she's got a great figure, and she's pretty,
00:55:35 kind of shrill and loud in my opinion, but she's definitely pretty.
00:55:40 So, but they only look good because
00:55:44 they look younger.
00:55:46 A woman who looks younger. So, saying, "Well, no,
00:55:51 you can look good when you're older," it's like, "Yes, but they only look good
00:55:54 because they look younger."
00:55:56 I mean, how is this even, how is this,
00:56:01 how is this even a question? What do you mean younger women look better?
00:56:05 I look better when I'm older because I look younger. And it's like, "Yes, that's
00:56:08 accepted that younger." Like, how do you know a woman looks good in her 50s
00:56:11 because she looks 20 years younger?
00:56:15 Oh, a huge industry built around women trying to look younger, right. So, they're
00:56:19 trying to mask
00:56:21 the cracked and rotten eggs, right? I get it, they're trying to mask, like Kate Baxter-Steyerl
00:56:24 may look great at 50, but she can't give you kids.
00:56:28 Right, she can't give you kids. Whatever Tutankhamun wax museum creature
00:56:33 Madonna's cheekbones have turned into,
00:56:36 I mean, she can't give you kids. She could probably give you a bunch of,
00:56:40 well, that's not.
00:56:43 So, yeah, women trying to look younger. So, when you say to a woman you're going to age out of
00:56:46 your beauty, you're saying there's a second half of your life.
00:56:49 And when you say there's a second half of your life, the conscience is like, "Yes,
00:56:52 that's right!
00:56:53 There's a second half of your life. I've been trying to tell her that for 20 years.
00:56:56 She won't listen. Please." And what happens is the conscience rears up because it's
00:57:00 got an outside ally,
00:57:02 right, it's got an outside ally, and Lord help you, God help you above, God help you
00:57:05 above, because Satan won't.
00:57:07 God help you above if you say things that provoke people's bad conscience.
00:57:14 God help you if you say things that provoke people's bad conscience,
00:57:21 because their conscience erupts and their conscience is trying to help them and
00:57:25 rescue them and save them
00:57:27 up to a certain point after which it will simply make them absolutely miserable.
00:57:31 Absolutely miserable as an example to others, right?
00:57:35 I mean, I wrote a whole character based on this theory, right, which is
00:57:38 the character I wrote based on the theory
00:57:41 that a bad conscience serves as a warning to others and it's not designed to
00:57:45 save you anymore.
00:57:52 "Hell hath no fury like a woman's bad conscience."
00:57:59 No, I think they're furious for both men. Yeah, men and women.
00:58:06 It's Rachel's aunt. Rachel's aunt
00:58:11 is the warning sign of what happens, right?
00:58:14 Rachel's aunt is the warning sign of what happens when you age out of your looks.
00:58:19 So, that's in my novel, "The Present."
00:58:23 You can get it at freedomain.com/books. Man, if you haven't
00:58:26 listened to my novels, especially because, you know, I'm a trained actor and all, right?
00:58:30 So, you should really go and listen to them.
00:58:34 So,
00:58:40 "How are we growing a beard?"
00:58:43 "Are you listening to my request?" No, I just haven't gotten around to shaving.
00:58:47 Been kind of busy. Been really working hard on peaceful parenting on the book.
00:58:50 I'm about a fifth of the way through the second draft.
00:58:57 It's really wild, you know? Somebody says, "Steph, why do we get angry when we see
00:59:02 perfectly healthy couples
00:59:05 who choose not to have kids?"
00:59:09 That is a great character describing the post-war life for a professional woman
00:59:12 without children.
00:59:15 Oh, well, maybe people have joined. But, you know, again, it's just funny, you know, at
00:59:18 some point you just have to kind of give up.
00:59:20 Like, you make repeated requests for people not to interrupt your flow.
00:59:24 Okay, so,
00:59:28 we are concepts. We are universals.
00:59:31 And the conscience is that which says, "You lying sack of shite hypocrite,
00:59:35 you're arguing against that which you use to survive.
00:59:39 And you're using language which is universal to argue against universals.
00:59:44 You're like a virus. You're like a huge negative and a danger to the world."
00:59:51 So, why do people
00:59:56 want to detach you from your conscience?
01:00:00 Why do people want to detach you from your conscience?
01:00:07 What is the profit in detaching people from their conscience?
01:00:11 To explain you. Yeah, to control you. Absolutely.
01:00:16 Now,
01:00:21 there is a war, of course. It's been going on as long as there have been people.
01:00:26 There is a war between
01:00:33 fearing God and fearing the tribe.
01:00:39 Fearing the authority of virtue and fearing the authority of power.
01:00:46 And if people can uncouple you from your conscience,
01:00:52 they can tell you to do just about anything.
01:00:56 And you'll do it.
01:01:02 Does that make sense?
01:01:07 Unreality leads to tyranny.
01:01:11 Because accepting unreality puts you in opposition to your own conscience. Once
01:01:15 you're in opposition to your own conscience,
01:01:17 you are easily led by the nose in whatever direction the rulers want you
01:01:21 to go.
01:01:24 This is why I have always viewed those who attack reality
01:01:28 as... it's worse than a physical attack.
01:01:31 You understand? Those who attack your sense of reality, those who undermine your
01:01:34 sense of truth, of
01:01:35 objectivity, of conceptual accuracy, of the efficacy of your brain in processing
01:01:40 and dealing with reality,
01:01:41 you understand it's worse than a physical attack.
01:01:47 Because a physical attack is obvious. You can run away,
01:01:51 you can avoid, you can defend yourself against it, you can train.
01:01:56 But something that attacks and undermines your sense of reality is poisoning
01:02:00 you against yourself
01:02:02 and will result in decades of ungodly levels of misery.
01:02:09 To make your conscience your enemy
01:02:20 is to turn you into a slave of sophistry.
01:02:27 Anyone who wants to separate you from your conscience
01:02:31 is like the creep in the windowless van who is aiming to separate their...
01:02:34 the children from their parents.
01:02:38 To put you in a state of undefendedness
01:02:42 where your sole sense of virtue
01:02:46 comes from external cues rather than internal truths.
01:02:50 That you are no longer the vehicle and engine
01:02:54 of your own moral judgment, but you rely upon
01:02:59 the approval or punishment of external factors,
01:03:02 of external stimuli.
01:03:08 Corruption is when you have
01:03:11 the incentives of an animal with the soul of God.
01:03:18 Animals don't propagandize each other, human beings do.
01:03:24 So when they can reduce you from your conscience
01:03:27 to a mere response to stimuli...
01:03:31 Would you like an example from the pandemic? I'm sure that
01:03:35 you can follow this through yourself.
01:03:42 So with the pandemic they inflicted
01:03:46 grievous fear on the population
01:03:49 and then said that the cause of your fear is the unvaccinated,
01:03:53 that the unvaccinated are bad people who are spreading this
01:03:56 disease and so on. None of it made any sense.
01:03:59 None of it made any sense at all.
01:04:03 Because if the vaccines worked then you were protected.
01:04:07 Like I took... I guess I was given the smallpox vaccine when I was a kid. I
01:04:10 never feared anybody who had smallpox.
01:04:14 So none of it made even a lick of sense, but because
01:04:18 you know a hundred plus years
01:04:22 of post-modernism and subjectivism
01:04:25 had detached people from any basis of common sense they could be told the most
01:04:29 absurd things
01:04:32 and believed them. Like half of Democrats wanted the unvaccinated put into
01:04:37 gulags and a third of them wanted
01:04:41 children taken away from unvaccinated parents.
01:04:47 None of it made any sense. You follow, right?
01:04:55 So
01:04:59 they were... people weren't sitting there with their own conscience.
01:05:02 Because your own conscience would have you evaluate a moral statement
01:05:06 regardless of its source. That's called objectivity. Objectivity is
01:05:11 it doesn't matter who's saying it, the question is is it true or not. Now when
01:05:15 you can get people away from objectivity, away from their conscience,
01:05:18 ad hominems become all that run society. This person is a bad person
01:05:23 therefore you should never listen to anything he or she says. Right?
01:05:28 That's ad hominem, right?
01:05:33 And of course that's madness.
01:05:37 That's madness. Once you can get people
01:05:42 to discard the concept of truth
01:05:47 they will never check whether you're lying about someone because there's no
01:05:50 such thing as truth.
01:05:52 But they will, so they won't process whether you're
01:05:55 lying about someone.
01:05:56 What they will process is you dislike that person enough to slander them
01:06:00 therefore you're dangerous, therefore you might do it to them. And you, because you
01:06:03 shorten the time horizon by getting rid of the conscience, you shorten the time
01:06:06 horizon
01:06:07 and so people are like, "Well I'm uncomfortable in the moment. This is bad for me in the
01:06:10 moment
01:06:10 so I'm gonna just conform." Without realizing of course
01:06:15 that that very conformity makes the second half of their life
01:06:21 miserable. They turn you
01:06:25 from angels of reason
01:06:28 to addicts of approval and punishment.
01:06:32 And the addict of course starts off by pursuing a high and ends up
01:06:36 trying to escape the crash, trying to escape the law.
01:06:43 So does this, we'll get to war in a sec, but does this sort of make sense? Is this useful as a whole?
01:06:50 Okay.
01:06:57 So the first thing that people who want to separate you from your conscience do
01:07:18 is they get you
01:07:24 to believe lies by threats and punishment
01:07:30 and reward, right? So if
01:07:34 you accept XYZ, you're a good person
01:07:38 and we like you and you're popular and we approve of you. But if you don't or if you
01:07:42 reject it, you're a bad person, we will attack you, we will summon the
01:07:45 the mob to attack you and so what happens is you end up navigating approval
01:07:49 and disapproval which
01:07:50 gives great power to those in charge, right?
01:07:56 So the first thing they get you to do
01:07:59 is accept a lie. Accepting a lie
01:08:03 does not destroy your conscience as long as you're honest about why you're
01:08:08 accepting the lie.
01:08:14 You understand? We all had to, every single one of us had to accept lies
01:08:18 when we were children. Every single one of us.
01:08:22 Because a culture is life defounded on falsehoods.
01:08:25 That's how you know it's culture not philosophy, right?
01:08:29 So all of us had to accept lies
01:08:36 when we were kids. And yet to keep our jobs, to you know, whatever.
01:08:41 I mean I have great sympathy for the people who faced poverty
01:08:45 if they didn't take the jab. Now, what is one of the most fundamental lies
01:08:52 that we have to accept as children? Oh when I say this you're gonna get this
01:08:57 like
01:08:57 sunburst sunbeams in the head.
01:09:01 What is one of the greatest lies we have to accept as children that's not to do
01:09:04 with the family
01:09:05 because families vary in quality.
01:09:12 Yeah, that's exactly right. School is for education.
01:09:19 Hey, I'm being educated.
01:09:25 No you're not. No I wasn't. Did you believe when you were a kid, did you believe that
01:09:30 you were being educated and there was great value
01:09:32 in what you were being taught in school? Did you? Or did you just like, "Ugh, I gotta
01:09:36 cross these I's, dot these T's, and I gotta
01:09:38 regurgitate this crap which I'm gonna forget five minutes after the exam. I just
01:09:43 gotta go through these motions. I gotta stick to this train track.
01:09:46 I gotta pass these hurdles. I gotta run through this freaking rat's maze
01:09:50 in order to get out at the other end." Listen, some of you do believe and I'm not
01:09:55 saying this is a terrible thing. I'm just,
01:09:56 right? We had no stuff in those times. But weren't you bored and
01:10:00 frustrated and alienated and like, "What's the point of all of this stuff when I'm
01:10:04 ever gonna use it?"
01:10:05 Do you know what percentage
01:10:12 of school knowledge is never ever used again over the course of your life?
01:10:18 Do you know what percentage of school knowledge is never ever used again over
01:10:21 the course of your life?
01:10:21 It's in the mid to high 90s.
01:10:25 Like 95 percent, 98 percent. I mean, the mid to high 90s.
01:10:29 So,
01:10:34 if you're not being educated, what is happening? What is it for? Well, of course,
01:10:39 it's for
01:10:40 training people to like the existing structure. It's for
01:10:43 indoctrination. It's for
01:10:46 to give jobs to people who are not particularly smart. Educators
01:10:50 as a whole are some of the least intelligent people
01:10:54 in universities. So there's a wide variety of things that it's for.
01:10:59 Certainly not for educating children
01:11:01 at all. So that's
01:11:04 like the first lie. Outside of the family, maybe your family is more honest and whatever, right?
01:11:11 Now,
01:11:17 believing the lie, even if you fully accept it,
01:11:20 right, sometimes it's easier to go along if you believe you're genuinely being
01:11:24 educated.
01:11:26 Right, I guess, sort of think of the, it's a bit of a sort of cliche, but that sort of
01:11:30 really earnest, maybe Asian student or whatever who's like, "I've got to learn this,
01:11:33 this is really important, blah, blah, blah," right?
01:11:35 So there's nothing wrong with, while you're in the situation of compulsion,
01:11:40 to accept the lies. That does not
01:11:43 wreck your conscience.
01:11:47 Your conscience is like, "Hey, man, we gotta
01:11:50 do this, we have no choice." Your conscience will not get mad at you
01:11:55 for accepting a lie or even believing that lie.
01:11:59 Yeah, you have no autonomy, you have no authority, you have no independence.
01:12:03 I mean, it's sort of like the analogy would be, "Does a nutritionist get mad at you
01:12:07 for what you eat in prison?"
01:12:08 No, you just eat whatever slop they put in front of you.
01:12:15 So does this, your conscience, you said, "My conscience did when I was a kid."
01:12:22 Well, maybe that was your conscience, maybe that was self-attack.
01:12:26 A conscience is not the same as self-attack.
01:12:33 Self-attack generally is when you're programmed to
01:12:37 verbally abuse yourself for disobeying those in power, which is being programmed
01:12:43 into kids as young as five years old these days is really brutal.
01:12:48 So your conscience
01:12:51 will not attack you for what you had to do under compulsion.
01:12:58 So,
01:13:02 accepting the lie, believing the lie does not harm your conscience,
01:13:06 it's not great, it's not good.
01:13:10 When does your conscience start to have a problem with you when you're an adult,
01:13:14 right? And generally it doesn't have much...
01:13:16 I don't feel bad for pretty much anything I did as a kid or as a teenager
01:13:19 because I was not in a situation of liberty.
01:13:23 The bad conscience is other people's, not mine.
01:13:27 So when does your conscience start to get mad at you?
01:13:31 Not when you accept the lie, not when you believe the lie.
01:13:35 Yes, exactly right, when you spread the lie,
01:13:40 when you tell the lie, when you become
01:13:45 a transmitter and a reproducer of the lie.
01:13:51 Do you have to, I mean you have to accept lies as a kid,
01:13:55 do you have to, and we have to accept lies as adults, do you have to spread lies
01:13:59 as an adult?
01:14:06 I mean the real pandemic was falsehood, right?
01:14:09 That was the real pandemic.
01:14:13 So when you have a choice
01:14:17 and you choose to spread lies, that is when your conscience starts to have a
01:14:22 problem with you.
01:14:28 So all the people who went from, with regards to abortion, my body, my
01:14:32 choice,
01:14:33 medical decisions should never be forced, all those people who
01:14:37 you know obviously rightly were appalled and horrified by the Nazi and Japanese
01:14:40 experiments on
01:14:42 prisoners of war and on gulag victims
01:14:46 in the Second World War which gave birth to the Geneva Convention and to the
01:14:53 the forbidding of any coerced or incentivized medical treatments.
01:14:57 All the people and then they just completely flipped and reversed.
01:15:02 Now that's,
01:15:06 that's when your conscience has a problem with you.
01:15:13 When you become a bad guy and you call the good guys bad guys
01:15:19 and you don't have to, now that's
01:15:25 when your conscience has a problem
01:15:28 with you. It's not being subject to lies, not even believing lies,
01:15:32 it's when you reproduce them.
01:15:39 The reason
01:15:56 that there is war is because people
01:16:00 spread lies. We don't have to get into the details, I did a lot of this work in
01:16:06 the past, you can go and look for it at FDRpodcast.com.
01:16:09 People spread lies. When people spread lies
01:16:15 they participate in immorality,
01:16:18 which means that their conscience becomes their enemy.
01:16:22 Now
01:16:26 the people who are bad
01:16:30 are the most susceptible to being called
01:16:33 bad. It's a really, really important thing to understand
01:16:37 in society and human nature. The people who are actually immoral
01:16:41 are the ones most sensitive to being judged as immoral.
01:16:53 I mean have I ever been called immoral and bad? Of course.
01:16:57 I mean relentlessly, repeatedly, in public and so on and still.
01:17:00 But it doesn't hit me hard
01:17:05 because my conscience
01:17:08 is what I navigate by.
01:17:13 I mean if you desperately have to head north and you have a functioning
01:17:16 compass and everyone's saying you're going the wrong way but
01:17:20 your compass says you're going north,
01:17:22 I mean it may sort of be mildly annoying that people are telling you you're
01:17:26 going the wrong way
01:17:27 but you've got the compass. And when you've got the compass it doesn't matter
01:17:31 what the crowd says.
01:17:32 It's not completely irrelevant, the crowd can be dangerous and I get all of that.
01:17:36 But you know which way is north. You know which way is north. You know what is good,
01:17:40 you know what is right, you know what is true, you know what is moral.
01:17:47 But
01:17:52 if you have
01:17:55 not just believed, not just accepted, but transmitted
01:18:00 and escalated the lies in society, you have a bad conscience. Now if you have a
01:18:05 bad conscience and someone calls you bad,
01:18:07 you will
01:18:10 change course, change direction instantly. And it doesn't matter
01:18:14 the consistency. Consistency doesn't matter because what you're trying to do
01:18:19 is you're trying to avoid your own conscience, you're being hunted.
01:18:22 Now if you just saw
01:18:25 like a digitally edited video
01:18:29 of a rabbit just running like crazy, like mad,
01:18:32 different directions, up, down, leaping into the air, reversing, you'd say
01:18:35 and it was just a rabbit in a field just going nuts.
01:18:39 You'd say, my god, this is having some sort of epileptic attack. It's like why is it going
01:18:44 in all these random different directions?
01:18:45 And don't you see this? People just overturn their prior perceptions, they lie,
01:18:49 they
01:18:49 just change stories, they gaslight, and there's no consistency between anything
01:18:53 they said in the past and anything they say now.
01:18:55 Right? You can see this
01:19:00 all the time. Now that's because you don't see the predator that they're
01:19:04 running from.
01:19:04 Now when you watch that rabbit jumping all over the place in the field
01:19:08 and then you see the original footage which is that a wolf is chasing the
01:19:12 rabbit,
01:19:12 now you understand. Now you understand.
01:19:19 Now you understand why they change their direction
01:19:26 all the time. Why do people change their stories all the time?
01:19:29 Because they're being hunted by their own bad conscience.
01:19:36 Now, if you could reason with the rabbit and you say, listen,
01:19:42 if you want to get somewhere, just go in a straight line.
01:19:45 What's all this changing direction? Just go in a straight line.
01:19:51 And the rabbit was being chased by a wolf and you just said, man, just go in a
01:19:53 straight line.
01:19:54 What would the rabbit say to you back?
01:20:00 You're just gonna get me killed.
01:20:03 You're just gonna get me killed.
01:20:10 People who change their stories and their morals and their narrative and
01:20:17 their perspective and their arguments
01:20:22 are being chased by a predator that I'm trying to get you to see.
01:20:28 And if you say,
01:20:32 be consistent, you're saying,
01:20:36 submit to the predator.
01:20:41 Be caught. Be snapped up.
01:20:46 Be chewed up. Be ripped apart. Be disemboweled.
01:20:49 Be consistent means
01:20:52 let your conscience catch you.
01:20:59 Do you see how little people listen?
01:21:06 No matter how many times I ask people to let me flow.
01:21:14 I mean, it just means that I'm gonna have to maybe stop doing this as live
01:21:19 streams.
01:21:19 Like, honestly, I don't mean to be like, but I mean,
01:21:22 because I can do the flow without, I like having the comments, they help, but
01:21:26 if the comments are constantly distracting, I'll have to do this not in a live stream format.
01:21:30 Just so you know. You're selfish, right?
01:21:34 Well, I have a perspective. I want to talk about something else, right?
01:21:41 So, war happens because people spread lies.
01:21:48 When people spread lies, they're easy to control because all you have to do is
01:21:52 call them bad,
01:21:53 which provokes their bad conscience, and they'll do anything to avoid their bad
01:21:57 conscience,
01:21:58 so they just conform to whatever you say, because they can use your approval as
01:22:03 ammo against their bad conscience. Isn't this what people do?
01:22:06 I can use
01:22:11 social approval as an ally against my bad conscience.
01:22:21 And so when you say to women, "Your looks are gonna run out." Hello, your looks are gonna run out,
01:22:25 you're gonna get ugly.
01:22:26 We all do. What you're saying to women is you're gonna run out of
01:22:33 thirst approval, you're gonna run out of
01:22:37 people desiring you, and then you'll be left alone with your bad conscience
01:22:41 hanging in space forever and ever. Amen.
01:22:45 That you will now have to go
01:22:50 into battle against an infinite force that can rake you over the coals forever
01:22:53 with no allies anymore. You will have no social approval
01:22:58 to ally against your bad conscience.
01:23:05 And people fear almost nothing more than being left alone without allies
01:23:19 facing down the endless devils of their bad conscience.
01:23:26 Yeah, you will know when the flow is over when I ask for other questions.
01:23:37 I told you I'd be told over when I would get to the questions. Just be patient.
01:23:41 It's just a matter of trust, right? I think I've earned it. I think I've earned trust.
01:23:49 I mean, I remember the days of my bad conscience
01:23:54 where I was like, "You know, I think I'm full of shite. I think I just talk about
01:23:59 morals. I don't think I actually live them. I don't think I have them as a
01:24:03 requirement to be in my life. I don't think I have them as a basis for romance
01:24:06 or love. I don't think I have them as a basis
01:24:08 within my career. I mean, man, I
01:24:13 face some real corruption in the business world.
01:24:20 I mean, to my sort of minor credit, the moment I could get to a place where I could live
01:24:30 with more integrity, I took it. But the disconnect between
01:24:37 my words and my deeds had grown so wide that I either had to abandon philosophy,
01:24:43 which would be unthinkable, literally unthinkable, it would be unthinkingly unthinkable,
01:24:48 or I had to live my words, right? You either have to abandon your words, your ideals,
01:24:55 or you have to start living them. That's the crisis of conscience.
01:24:57 For me, it hit a little earlier than middle age, but that's because I started philosophy
01:25:03 earlier than most in my mid-teens. I mean, just to touch on politics very briefly,
01:25:10 because in the new administration there are multiple wars,
01:25:28 the abandonment of tens or more of billions of dollars worth of weaponry,
01:25:35 massive transfer of assets to primitive theocracies.
01:25:43 And it's -- was there -- I mean, Trump, God, Lord knows, Trump has his thoughts.
01:25:54 Was there war under Trump? Not really. I mean, he bombed a couple of airfields
01:26:01 in Syria, but that's about it. And was Middle Eastern terrorism largely dealt
01:26:13 with? Yeah. I mean, he didn't do the mass slaughter approach.
01:26:17 Obviously, he did the very surgical strikes on the leaders.
01:26:21 And yeah, so because they -- well, we don't have to get into all of that.
01:26:28 So, why are the wars back? Because people participated in and spread lies.
01:26:45 That's why there's war. They participated and spread lies about Trump,
01:26:52 about war, about people like me, the truth tellers and the reasoners and the negotiators.
01:26:59 They participated and spread these lies, and as a result of participating and spreading
01:27:08 lies, we have war. So I know that that's a long explanation,
01:27:15 but people without a conscience can only navigate by -- or people separated from their conscience
01:27:34 or afraid of their conscience can only navigate by reward and punishment.
01:27:41 So I'm telling you, be wary of people who tell you there's no such thing as truth, objectivity,
01:27:47 reality, reason is subjective, nothing is real. They are trying to separate you from
01:27:52 your conscience. I thank God that you were banned.
01:27:56 You increased much more your quality as a content creator after being banned.
01:28:00 I had my time in the world, and I don't regret it.
01:28:05 I don't regret it at all. But it was time to be in the world, and now
01:28:12 it's time to be in morality. All right, so I did -- is this a reasonable
01:28:17 answer? Does this sort of make sense to you?
01:28:21 Should we get to your questions now, and I appreciate your patience?
01:28:25 What separates a friend from a romantic partner? My sister was telling me that she meets guys
01:28:29 that have a lot in common with her and good chemistry.
01:28:32 She sees them more as a friend rather than a romantic partner.
01:28:36 Okay. I'll always ask, because I always want to
01:28:42 know, how dark do we go? How dark do we go?
01:28:48 Do you want to know what chemistry is for most people?
01:28:51 One to ten, how dark do we go? Under the bed dark.
01:28:58 Mommy, mommy, can I sleep with you? I think there are monsters under my bed.
01:29:02 No, they could follow you to my bed. All right, all right.
01:29:11 So chemistry for women almost always means he's not going to harm me enough.
01:29:17 He's too trustworthy. He's too reasonable.
01:29:19 He's too nice. He's not going to break my heart.
01:29:22 Chemistry is masochism, thinly disguised as attraction.
01:29:28 Because we all know what does it mean to have chemistry.
01:29:31 It means he's dangerous. He's a bad boy.
01:29:33 He's got a bad history. He's going to F me up.
01:29:38 That's what chemistry is. Chemistry is self-punishment for vanity and
01:29:41 falsehood and conformity. Chemistry is when he, the bad boy, allies with
01:29:51 your conscience to punish you for your misdeeds.
01:29:58 Because what do the women always say about the nice guys?
01:30:01 The guys who are reasonable, who are considerate, who are thoughtful, who are empathetic, who
01:30:04 are good guys. What do they always say?
01:30:07 Oh, there's no chemistry. Women are attracted to men who ignore them?
01:30:16 Oh, man. Yes, let's take entirely dysfunctional women
01:30:23 and describe all women that way. It's so funny, you know, when you, I mean,
01:30:27 I love two females in my life as passionately as can be imagined.
01:30:30 I have, of course, a wife of 20 plus years. I have a daughter who's going to be turning
01:30:34 15 in a couple of months. And so when people talk about women be cray-cray,
01:30:38 it's like, I mean, I take it personally, obviously, right?
01:30:43 Autumn says, I married a nice guy, best decision I ever made, right.
01:30:49 No chemistry means I don't deserve virtue and I'm going to be punished by immorality.
01:30:58 That's what no, the friend zone is where you put guys who aren't going to punish you for
01:31:03 your bad conscience. Because that's the only thing that explains
01:31:10 the consistent pattern that women only claim chemistry with men who are destructive to
01:31:13 them. Do you have any thoughts on the disappearance
01:31:17 of J.F. Gary Eppie's ex, Gerkfried? What is that?
01:31:23 Do you have a stroke? Gerkfried, the girlfriend, Mama J.F.?
01:31:27 Yeah, I heard a little bit about this. I heard a little bit about this.
01:31:32 So his, it's not his wife, right? He had some girlfriend.
01:31:37 Did he rescue her from the streets or something like that?
01:31:40 And he says that she's gone off the grid or something since like June or something like
01:31:45 that. And what thoughts could I possibly have on
01:31:53 such a messed up situation? I don't know.
01:31:59 Do you have any thoughts on Martin Buber's philosophy?
01:32:02 I wouldn't say that I understand his philosophy well enough to have any particular thoughts
01:32:05 on it. Is it true that women want those terrible
01:32:11 men to "get back at their parents"? Oh, the breakfast club thesis that, oh, if
01:32:19 there's ever a guy you wanted that was going to annoy your parents.
01:32:33 Bad men are usually a punishment for vanity. So if a woman focuses solely on her looks
01:32:41 or status and being attractive physically and all of that sort of stuff, then that's
01:32:47 vanity. It's trying to gain personal value out of
01:32:52 the accidental and unearned. And so your conscience won't reward you for
01:33:00 vice. Obviously, that's what makes it a conscience.
01:33:03 And greedily taking men's hormones and the evolution of physical attractiveness not as
01:33:07 the foundation for building a family but for your own personal monetary gain and vanity
01:33:13 is going to end up with, I mean, we all know this.
01:33:15 Come on. How often do the most attractive women end
01:33:20 up with the worst guys? Come on.
01:33:22 Amaranth or whatever her name is. How often do the most attractive women end
01:33:27 up with the worst guys? And this is why.
01:33:32 It's very often. Are you concerned about Canada's new legislation
01:33:42 regarding independent podcasters? No, not particularly.
01:33:48 What was it Joe Rogan, I saw a clip of Joe Rogan, you know, saying, "Oh, it's just
01:33:54 terrible what's happening to freedoms in Canada."
01:33:56 It's like, well, you really helped to discredit one of the major freedom fighters in Canada,
01:34:01 so he doesn't see it. He doesn't see it. I mean, you tell the truth until you can't
01:34:13 tell the truth, right? That's been the goal of philosophers throughout
01:34:16 history, to tell the truth until -- and the more effective you are at telling the truth,
01:34:19 the more you're going to get attacked and punished, and so you just try and get as much
01:34:22 out as you can. Let's see here, what was the other thing
01:34:27 I was going to talk about? Yeah, yeah, women.
01:34:41 Yeah, so as you know, what is it, a quarter of a trillion dollars added to America's debt
01:34:51 in like a week or two or something like that. It's gone through the roof, right?
01:34:56 So we are in the land of currency devaluation and this and that and the other, and you know,
01:35:00 the economics of it we all understand, it's kind of boring, but let me ask you this, let
01:35:03 me ask you this. As a single man, when the government can no
01:35:09 longer provide as many benefits to women, you will go up in their valuation, right?
01:35:14 You will become more important. They will run from the government and they
01:35:17 will try to woo you. What is your reaction going to be when your
01:35:20 sexual market value goes through the roof because the value of government currency is
01:35:24 going into the toilet? What happens when you suddenly become, "Hey,
01:35:31 how you doing? You know, hey, we talked a couple -- like there's
01:35:36 this old meme about this woman, like a message from 2013, like I'm breaking up with you because
01:35:40 you just keep obsessing about this Bitcoin and you don't have a future and I need a guy
01:35:44 who's more stable," right? And she just breaks up with him and then,
01:35:47 you know, 2021, she's like, "Hey, how you doing?"
01:35:51 So what are you going to do when you become massively valued?
01:36:00 What are you going to do when the women contact you?
01:36:03 What are you going to do? Right?
01:36:05 And again, what are you going to do when you become Oliver?
01:36:09 Jeff is a guy who's always had lots of money. It never helped me with women.
01:36:14 You're going to let them chase you? When women are chasing you, demand proof
01:36:18 principles and therapy receipts. Yeah, yeah. Gross.
01:36:22 And yet, it's a big question, right? Do you let old resentments rob you of a future
01:36:27 family? And that's a provocative way to put it.
01:36:30 It's not the only thing, but it's a possibility, right?
01:36:33 Are you going to let old resentments -- because look, there are a lot of guys out there who
01:36:37 are rejected by women because -- what is the old thing?
01:36:39 Old saying, "Women will chase the top 10% of guys."
01:36:43 That's all they'll do. 90% of guys are invisible.
01:36:45 And if you get the top 10% of guys in an airplane hanger, they'll just chase the top 10% of
01:36:49 those guys and ignore the bottom 90% of the top 10%.
01:36:52 So they go for 1%, and so on and so on, right? So for the men who've been rejected and ignored
01:37:00 and the women have chased the bad boys and the women have traveled on very little money,
01:37:05 which means hopscotching from wiener to wiener.
01:37:09 So when the women come back and in humility and in need and obviously to some degree in
01:37:14 desperation say, "I need a provider and a protector, and I'm sorry that I rejected you
01:37:21 in the past. What's going to happen? What are you going to do?"
01:37:27 Because I mean, I get both sides of the equation. I absolutely get both sides of the equation.
01:37:37 One of which is like, "To heck with you. You didn't want me. You married the state.
01:37:43 Now the state can't provide to you, and I don't care. I'm pushing back. It's nothing
01:37:49 real, nothing organic, nothing like that," right?
01:38:00 There's a certain vengeful, Old Testament, punitive, Thor's hammer feeling about that,
01:38:07 isn't there? Like I can really get into that mindset.
01:38:14 The women who rejected me, I will reject, but I will enjoy the attention from new women.
01:38:18 Yes, but you can only do that because you're ignoring all the men they've rejected who
01:38:22 aren't you, right?
01:38:24 Yeah, the eye for an eye sort of thing. You rejected me when you didn't need me. I'm going
01:38:29 to reject you because you're blatantly hypocritical, and you're only coming to me because the government
01:38:33 can't pay your bills or whatever. Yeah, you get what you deserve. Yeah, yeah. You reap
01:38:39 what you sow. Beg away. Ladies, I'm above it all. I mean, I really do get that mindset.
01:38:47 And of course, there is no small risk involved, which is, "Oh, okay, so you need resources
01:38:55 from someone. You're not getting it from the state, so you're going to come and get it
01:38:57 from me, and what happens if the government resurrects its finances or if you find some
01:39:05 other sugar daddy, right?"
01:39:14 So or do you say, "Well, they're human. They made bad decisions. I, in a similar situation,
01:39:23 would probably make similarly bad decisions. They recognize the error of their ways, and
01:39:30 we shouldn't punish people for the corruption of the state, which corrupted them, which
01:39:33 corrupts just about everyone, right? If the state wasn't a corrupting force, right, we'd
01:39:37 have a whole different viewpoint from here, right?"
01:39:45 I understand that it's kind of gross. I get the grossness. Like, I kind of get that it's
01:39:50 kind of gross. Like, "Oh, now I'm a value, right? Now I matter." You know, I mean, because
01:39:58 there is that sort of feeling. What is it from the movie Forrest Gump? Robin Wright
01:40:04 played this woman, Jenny, or something like that. She was very pretty and very abused
01:40:08 as a kid, and she wants to, like, there's a sign that says, "Now I'm a single mom with
01:40:13 AIDS. I want you, Forrest Gump."
01:40:18 If she's honest about her past choices and mistakes and can reasonably recover from them,
01:40:22 I'm open to seeing if she has the capacity for lived philosophy and if we could potentially
01:40:26 have a relationship.
01:40:30 If a single woman rejects you, doesn't that mean that they think your genetics aren't
01:40:34 worth reproducing? How can you forgive that?
01:40:44 I mean, we also do have the significant problem that we have massive overexposure to beauty
01:40:51 in society. Like, a massive overexposure to beauty in society. I mean, everywhere you
01:40:57 look, billboards, ads, YouTube, everywhere you look, there's just these very pretty or
01:41:03 handsome or beautiful people everywhere. And you understand that this programs us to
01:41:12 view every reasonable assessment as an unholy compromise, as settling, right? Like, we are
01:41:23 irradiated by constant beauty, and what that does is it moves our needle, right? So normally
01:41:29 the only people who would be around, like, who would be around beautiful women in the
01:41:33 past? Like, let's look at this, right? What is this all overexposure? What is this telling
01:41:39 us? What is this programming us for, right? So who would be the men around beautiful women
01:41:44 in the past? Kings, emperors, those who ran harems, rich, powerful men, the top men would
01:41:54 be around beautiful women. So what happens is if your body, your brain, your base lizard
01:41:59 brain is constantly thinking that you're around beautiful women, it thinks that you're massively
01:42:02 higher status than you are. Does that make sense? Because being around, like, seeing
01:42:10 a lot of beautiful women programs you to believe that you're very high status. And it's the
01:42:15 same thing with women who are constantly daydreaming or being exposed to super handsome, super
01:42:23 successful men. They think that they're higher status than they are. And so, like, I thought
01:42:28 the other day it would be very interesting to create an app where you take a selfie and
01:42:36 it tells you the physical quality of man you can attract and vice versa, right? Because
01:42:42 you know, you know that people of similar levels of attractiveness always end up married
01:42:48 to each other. Like, if you want to know how attractive you are, just look at your partner.
01:42:51 It's pretty much going to be that. There's a few exceptions, but for the most part, right?
01:42:56 And so it'd be interesting. And what you would do is you would have an app where people had
01:43:01 selfies and then people would rate, you know, one to ten how attractive they are. And then
01:43:06 you'd take your selfie and then it would evaluate that either based upon some algorithm or based
01:43:11 upon a bunch of votes. And then it would say, "Oh, you're a seven. Here's a female seven.
01:43:15 Oh, you're a four. He's a female four. Oh, you're an eight. Here's a male eight." Right?
01:43:20 So that you would try to -- oh, that app exists? Oh, okay, cool. So it would be interesting
01:43:25 because it's about just having more reasonable expectations of who you can be with. Because,
01:43:34 you know, the women who are kind of holding out for the super hottie guys or whatever,
01:43:39 right? It's a -- no, it's about trying to -- it's about trying to get people to be reasonable
01:43:46 about their expectations. Yeah, we all want to chase high and we should, but then we have
01:43:51 to settle for what we can get. And of course we're always told, yeah, the issue is that
01:43:56 a woman who is a five can hook up with a man who's eight. Yes, yes, for sure, for sure,
01:44:04 but only by subsidizing the sex, right? So this is one of the reasons why you had to
01:44:10 keep sex within the confines of marriage. Because that way a woman couldn't get a more
01:44:16 attractive man with sex subsidies, right? With the subsidies of sex. Or in other words,
01:44:23 if the first woman you had to have sex with, you had to marry, you would choose someone
01:44:28 appropriate to your level, right? The seven won't marry the five. Yes, that's entirely
01:44:32 true. The seven will not marry the five. For me, my wife is a ten and will always be a
01:44:38 ten. Yeah, I mean that's what people say, but I don't -- I mean, we're talking about
01:44:53 external physical looks. Yeah, we're talking about external physical looks. You program
01:45:00 yourself with all of this beauty and then average looking people look like trolls to
01:45:04 you, right? It's the thing on Seinfeld, like 90% of people are unattractive. If you've
01:45:08 been down to the DMV, it's like a zombie convention, right? Your wife is a ten and will always
01:45:16 be a ten. I mean, I obviously find my wife very attractive, but she's not a model. She
01:45:22 finds me very attractive. I'm not a model. So, yeah, this programming stuff is really
01:45:33 bad. You have to limit your exposure to beauty because it reprograms you to believe that
01:45:37 you're higher status in terms of looks than you are. What's your definition of responsibility,
01:45:42 being responsible? I sometimes have this philosophical amnesia. I feel like people from my history
01:45:46 want me to forget what responsibility means. I get this intellectual blackout once in a
01:45:49 while. No, you don't. No, that's not even close to what's happening. When things happen
01:45:54 that are harmful to you, they're always in the service of bad people. When things happen
01:45:58 or people with opposite moral values, let's say. So, yes, of course, people want to do
01:46:04 bad things and then they want to claim that they either didn't happen or they weren't
01:46:08 responsible, right? Right. You've, Darva, it's called Darva. So, this is projection
01:46:16 or gaslighting called Darva. You deny, you accuse, and then you reverse victim and attacker.
01:46:26 There's Darva, right? You deny, you accuse, or you deny, you attack, and then you reverse
01:46:33 victim and attacker, right? So, when you do bad things, you know that you deny it and
01:46:38 then you say you were the victim and you attack, right? Deny, attack, and reverse victim and
01:46:42 offender. Thank you. Appreciate that. Yeah, Darva. Darvo. Sorry, Darvo. So, that's an
01:46:48 important thing to remember. So, people who aren't responsible are in institutions, right?
01:47:03 People who aren't responsible tend to be in institutions. If you're out there in the world,
01:47:07 then you're responsible. So, why would people want you to deny their responsibility? Because
01:47:16 responsibility, self-accountability arms the conscience, right? So, why would people want
01:47:21 to pretend that they're not accountable? Because the conscience won't attack you for something
01:47:25 that you're not responsible for. Your conscience is very precise and it's not mean. It's very
01:47:28 helpful. So, if you're under compulsion, right? This is why I said when you're a kid in school,
01:47:34 if you believe lies, that's perfectly acceptable to your conscience because you're not in a
01:47:37 state of voluntary choice. So, when people say, "I'm not responsible," then what they're
01:47:45 trying to do is they're trying to tell their conscience to lay off and to ease up because
01:47:51 they weren't responsible, right? So, it's not about you. I mean, 99% of what people
01:47:56 talk about is about themselves and trying to manage some nonsense within their own heads.
01:48:00 It's nothing to do with you, right? I mean, we saw this with the number of people who
01:48:04 kept trying to distract the conversation when I'd repeatedly ask them not to, right? "Oh,
01:48:08 I have an impulse," right? So, yeah, people claim a lack of responsibility. They're not
01:48:14 talking to you. They're talking to their own conscience. "Hey, man, lay off. I didn't have
01:48:18 any choice." But the problem, of course, is that, like, let's look at parents, right?
01:48:24 So, parents attack their children for their children being, quote, "bad," which means
01:48:28 that they're giving full moral responsibility to the children. And if later they say, "Well,
01:48:32 I wasn't morally responsible for attacking you," the conscience is like, "Don't try that.
01:48:36 Don't even try. Don't even try. Don't even try." I mean, you can't attack children for
01:48:42 their moral responsibility while denying you have any moral responsibility for attacking
01:48:46 your children. Like, that's -- don't even try, right? Don't even try. Yeah, so most
01:48:52 time when people are attacking you, they're attacking their own conscience. It's nothing
01:48:57 to do with you, right? This is why attacks on me, it's like, "I don't take a person.
01:49:01 It's not about me." What I have said has provoked something in their conscience. And, I mean,
01:49:11 do you want to know why women so often get mad when you point out -- I mean, we've talked
01:49:14 about this a little bit, and I'll sort of close off on here. I have another topic, but
01:49:17 it's been a long show so far.
01:49:20 So when you remind women that they're going to age out of their looks, one of the reasons
01:49:31 they get so angry is because they rejected a good guy and they can't get him back because
01:49:40 they're aging out, right? So for men, it's called the one who got away, right? The woman
01:49:47 who got away. The woman you wanted to talk to, you never quite did. The woman you wanted
01:49:50 to declare yourself to and say you were attractive, but you never quite did, it's the one who
01:49:54 got away. And that's tough for men, for sure. It's tough for women, too. But at least men
01:49:58 are gaining in attractiveness as they age, right? I mean, assuming you stay relatively
01:50:02 healthy, right? Now your ability to provide is proven, and who you are -- the woman doesn't
01:50:08 have to roll the dice and hope you'll make money because by the time you're 35, hopefully
01:50:12 you're making some coin, and so the woman doesn't have to guess that anymore. So the
01:50:16 man is going to gain in value, so his choice tends to expand. But for women, if they're
01:50:22 losing in value, it means that the best guy is in their past, and they're now going to
01:50:27 have to settle for the guy they can get with their fading looks. Does that make sense?
01:50:32 The good guys are taken, and they're aging out of their physical attractiveness, so the
01:50:39 best guy is the guy they already rejected. The best guy is the guy when they were 22
01:50:43 who was devoted to them, but they just didn't feel that spark, or they wanted to travel,
01:50:47 or go to university and study nonsense, right? So for women, when you say you're aging out,
01:50:53 they're like, "I rejected the guy who was the best guy I could get. I rejected him 10
01:51:00 years ago. And my best future is a lost past. My best future is a rejected past." Does that
01:51:13 make sense? I'm not sure if I'm being particularly clear here. So the best guy you could get
01:51:20 was when you were 22. Now you're 35, so you're going to have to settle for a guy who's way
01:51:26 less good than the guy you could have got at 22.
01:51:36 A woman deleted me from Snapchat at age 28 when she was 20, so I don't necessarily believe
01:51:41 women are attracted to older men. Oh, Gerard, please. Something happened to me, so all general
01:51:55 principles are null and void. Maybe they're not particularly attracted to that mildly
01:52:01 narcissistic attitude. One woman deleted me from Snapchat, and I'm older, therefore women
01:52:10 aren't attracted to older men. Come on, man. Come on. You understand this is a show about
01:52:20 general principles and philosophy, so your personal anecdote, I don't even know what
01:52:25 to say. I don't even know what to say. Sorry, I don't mean to laugh, but maybe you kept
01:52:35 trying to change the subject and she got annoyed. Yes, it's nothing to do with my lack of attractiveness
01:52:41 or anything like that. Sorry, I don't have time to go into specific details. Ah, yes,
01:52:48 the passive aggression. Shout out to Steve. He turned me on to this thought-provoking
01:52:53 stream. No, can you imagine? Imagine as a man, like if you want to understand this as
01:52:59 a man, imagine this as a man, that you got offered a job, you got offered a job that
01:53:07 paid half a million dollars a year when you were 22, and you rejected it. And then every
01:53:13 job offer you got after that was less and less and less, but you just thought it was
01:53:17 going to turn around. And then some bald a-hole comes along and says, "The only thing you
01:53:24 have to look forward to is minimum wage. The only thing you have to look forward to
01:53:33 is minimum wage, man. I'm sorry, you could have been really wealthy, right? You could
01:53:40 have been super wealthy for the rest of your life, but instead all you have to look forward
01:53:45 to is customers yelling at you and minimum wage. You could have been a movie star. You
01:53:52 could have been a contender. You could have been somebody. You could have been a movie
01:53:58 star and all you get to do is clean the sticky shine off the floor of the movie theater for
01:54:06 the rest of your life. What is your life going to be like if you believe that you're going
01:54:21 to be like, "Hey man, somebody offered me a half a million dollars when I was 22 a year,
01:54:25 but I'm going to get a million dollars when I'm 40." And you're like, "No, at 40 you'll
01:54:35 be lucky to get minimum wage. Like that's it." Well, I know a woman who won the lottery
01:54:42 when she was 40. Do you know how much regret women have about the guys, the good guys they
01:54:52 rejected? Like it's a foundational physics of the world. The amount of regret deep down,
01:55:03 the amount of regret they have deep down about the good guys they rejected when they were
01:55:07 young is incredible. If you don't see that in society, if you don't see that motivating
01:55:18 what happens to a lot of women. Some women still manage to have fun in their 20s and
01:55:25 marry a decent guy before they hit the wall. See, you think you're talking to me, but you're
01:55:32 not. You got triggered by something and so you're putting in imaginary anecdotes in the
01:55:38 face of general principles. Some years ago I received a message from a woman who rejected
01:55:45 me when we were teenagers. She was interested in getting in touch, but I was about to get
01:55:48 married. Ouch. She was, quote, "Happy for me." Yeah. She was happy for you and then
01:55:52 she cried into a wine glass for four days straight. I know a woman, she became a wife.
01:56:03 These are the very words she uses to describe her life. She said, "A good day ain't got
01:56:10 no rain." She said, "Bad days when I lie in bed and think of things that might have been.
01:56:18 Slip sliding away. Slip sliding away. You know the nearer your destination, the more
01:56:27 you slip sliding away." It's a brutal song about regret, man. It is a brutal song. Paul
01:56:36 Simon and the slow slide into infinite depression are like yin and yang. Everyone, consider
01:56:47 tipping if not subscribing to make this show, make movies and documentaries. Wouldn't that
01:56:51 be great? I'd love to get back out on the road now. It looks like it might be more possible.
01:56:54 It might be more possible to get out there and work on documentaries. The women who message
01:57:00 me on dating apps are mid-30s plus and/or single moms. Yeah. Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed.
01:57:10 Sure. Sure. You slept with the wrong guy and you're stuck with it forever.
01:57:27 Regret is one of the most corrupting forces in the world because when you have regret,
01:57:31 you have one of two choices. You can either go out and instruct people on everything that
01:57:35 you did to end up with such regret or you reproduce your regret circumstances in others
01:57:43 because misery loves company. Are you making the argument for us to forgive these women?
01:57:49 Which women? The women who chose the wrong guy? See, again, you're not talking to me.
01:57:59 You're not talking to me because I haven't said anything about that. Causality is not...
01:58:05 Thank you for the tip. If anybody wants a tip just at the end here, I would hugely appreciate
01:58:08 it. Of course, if you're listening to this later, freedomain.com/donate, I would really,
01:58:12 really appreciate your show. A bit of a lean month so far, but... Do you accept tips as
01:58:18 restitution? Sorry for interrupting you earlier. I would greatly miss the Sunday live streams
01:58:21 if you stopped. Well, I appreciate that. I appreciate that. That's a start and just,
01:58:26 you know, find ways to not do it again. And again, I promise I will get to your questions.
01:58:31 Listen, if there is any question I didn't get to, I made a note here of one particular
01:58:35 question. But if there's any question I didn't get to, please let me know. And if it's a
01:58:40 really long, complicated one, I promise I will get to you in the next day or two. So
01:58:44 if there's a question that I didn't get to you, then I would appreciate that because
01:58:51 I want to keep my word. Obviously, I want to keep my word about getting to the questions
01:58:53 after asking for deferrals. Cheers, Steph. I've been enjoying your content since joining.
01:59:02 I appreciate that. Thank you, Jack. Are you guys interested in more movie reviews? I watched
01:59:18 Breakfast Club again and Good Will Hunting for the first time, I think, since it came
01:59:21 out. Interesting movies. Steph, your content rocks. Much thanks. Actually, that was Paul
01:59:27 Simon, but maybe I can do Pour Some Sugar on me in a topless, well-greased leotard,
01:59:32 Freddie Mercury style, with chest hair wig. Pour Some Philosophy on me. Watched Breakfast
01:59:41 Club last night. Good movie. Yeah, I definitely a little bit hostile to the family as a whole.
01:59:46 You loved your movie reviews? Okay. I'll think about that. Good Will Hunting is one of my
01:59:54 favorites. I'd love to hear your review of the film. Jared, could you just check? Did
01:59:58 I ever do a review of that? I mean, it's been out since the '90s. Thank you. All right.
02:00:08 So it looks like I got to every question. Every question. Films are really good for
02:00:20 analysis. Incredible show. Thank you, Tim. I appreciate that. I really do. I appreciate
02:00:26 that. See, people would rather go mad or die than confront an unrelenting bad conscience.
02:00:33 Your conscience will constantly measure up whether you can make restitution. Once you're
02:00:39 beyond restitution, your conscience will turn toxic, make your life miserable so that you
02:00:42 serve as a warning to others. People like that are beyond reason. And they will do almost
02:00:47 anything to avoid... Like, the people who lied in the past, and those lies have led
02:00:54 to the war, do you know how desperate they are for people to not make that connection?
02:00:57 You know, literally people are 10 seconds away from a connection that will turn their
02:01:01 life into a conscious hell, from an unconscious hell to a conscious hell. And the truth tellers,
02:01:09 the people with a good conscience must always be censored by those with a bad conscience
02:01:12 because the people with a good conscience will make the connections that turn the people
02:01:15 with bad conscience their life into hell. So we have to be silenced because they didn't
02:01:23 listen to their conscience and they can't now because it's turned toxic or cancerous.
02:01:30 The censorship of me is the censorship of their own bad conscience, do you follow? Because
02:01:35 I will ally with their bad conscience and I will try to turn them better. Maybe they're
02:01:40 beyond hope, I don't know. Sometimes you are. So censorship is not censorship of me. Even
02:01:46 that I didn't take personally. They're trying to de-platform their own regrets, their own
02:01:50 bad conscience. And they're concerned because their bad conscience senses me as an objective
02:01:56 ally and begins to strengthen and rise within them, right? The bad conscience hears me or
02:02:04 people like me, begins to strengthen and rise within them and they rail against that. They
02:02:09 have to silence me because I am allying with their conscience. You can just do a hunting
02:02:21 in FDR podcasts. I don't know if they've all been categorized as movie reviews. Just do
02:02:25 a search for hunting. See if I talked about good will hunting. So and they think, this
02:02:32 is the thing, right? So they think that by silencing me they triumph over their bad conscience
02:02:40 but all they do is make their bad conscience unrecoverable. Because by silencing me they
02:02:49 reduce my capacity to ally with people's conscience to save them from this fate worse than death.
02:02:58 Having a bad conscience is a fate worse than death. So they think that they're retaining
02:03:06 something positive about themselves by de-platforming me which is de-platforming their own conscience.
02:03:13 But it makes their recovery impossible because now they have participated in lies and spread
02:03:24 lies to the point where other people have not been saved. And once you participate in
02:03:28 the damnation of others by keeping people, by keeping moralists away from reinforcing
02:03:33 and strengthening their conscience, once you've participated in the moral destruction of others,
02:03:37 you're unrecoverable. Steph, I met a 10 out of 10 woman at the nightclub back in January.
02:03:46 She gave me a fake phone number. I recently found her TikTok account by miraculous coincidence.
02:03:50 I'm not 100% sure. She intentionally gave me a fake phone number so if I message her
02:03:54 on TikTok, what should I say? She was wearing extremely revealing clothing when I met her.
02:03:57 She was wearing nothing but a bra basically and a skirt and she posts super hot bikini
02:04:01 photos and sensual dancing all over her Facebook and TikTok. Come on, come on, come on. Come
02:04:11 on. The only thing that you have, the only thing that is a value of her is her physique.
02:04:17 So this is just the sin of lust. The only thing that you, the only thing you find attractive
02:04:22 about her is her skin. What are you, a cannibal? Eat people? They don't consume their flesh.
02:04:30 So no. No, she gave you a fake phone number because you don't think a woman knows her
02:04:37 own phone number? Come on, she gave you a fake phone number to push you up. She's the
02:04:44 only woman I've asked out who gave me a compliment. Yeah, well, don't be desperate, man. Don't
02:04:49 be desperate. And don't, so why do you, why do you, why do you judge a woman by her looks
02:04:57 because she doesn't want to, you don't want her to judge you for your virtues, right?
02:05:01 So why do you judge a woman by her looks? Because you don't want her to judge you by
02:05:05 your virtues. So you keep it skin deep so that she doesn't go for the, for the soul.
02:05:10 And a woman who's addicted to social media retention is a dangerous addict who will never
02:05:15 be able to provide a stable relationship for you. Just straight up facts. Straight up facts.
02:05:19 You've got to stay away from women who are posting hot nude bikini shots on TikTok and
02:05:24 Instagram. It's madness. I mean, you're basically joining a simp harem. That's all you're trying
02:05:30 to do. And any time she's upset about anything, she'll run to the internet for dopamine and
02:05:36 reinforcements which means she can't ever change or grow. I said, "I like your outfit."
02:05:41 She replied, "I like yours too." She went to the bathroom but never returned. Yeah, so
02:05:44 she's hiding from you. All right, thank you everyone so much for a great show and a great
02:05:51 chat. Freedomain.com/donate if you would like to help out the show. I would really, really,
02:05:55 really appreciate it. It is important for reasons I'll get to over time. All will be
02:06:01 revealed. But yeah, it is kind of important at the moment. So freedomain.com/donate. Thank
02:06:06 you so much. Have yourselves a gorgeous, beautiful evening. And I appreciate, listen, I even
02:06:11 appreciate those who interrupted me. It gives me the chance to be assertive without being
02:06:14 mean. So thank you everyone so much. Have yourselves a wonderful day. Lots of love.
02:06:18 I'll talk to you soon. Bye.
02:06:19 Bye.
