00:00:00 Yes, sorry for the late start. I don't like to call out software by name because you know stuff happens
00:00:07 But I'm gonna I'm gonna do it this time, so I thought you know hey
00:00:11 You know let's change up the background a little right let's try and up a change up the background a little
00:00:16 So I I installed a program called
00:00:20 X split V cam X split V cam now with X split V cam you could replace the background because I'm bald
00:00:28 It actually works out kind of well because it's not like I've got this big fluffy hair that people have to figure out right
00:00:35 Socrates did have a few tech issues it turned out. He was highly incompatible to hemlock so yes my tech issues are relatively minor
00:00:42 so I
00:00:45 Set it all up seems to be working okay
00:00:47 Choose a go and look for a background spend a little while finding the right background and
00:00:51 But it seems kind of shuddery even though. I've got a pretty fast computer, so so what I do of course is
00:00:58 There's a an option which says or always make it 30 frames a second right always make it 30 frames a second right
00:01:04 So I hit that option and the whole program freezes like doesn't give you an error message. It just freezes
00:01:10 so then I force quit it I sign it back up again and
00:01:14 It doesn't give you an error message it just freezes after the program starts and then vanishes and
00:01:21 There's no option to start it in safe mode at least not one that I found so I just uninstall it so then I reinstall
00:01:27 it and just say okay, well I won't choose the force 30 30 frames a second thing because it's an option and
00:01:33 Generally, I was a programmer for many many years
00:01:36 Generally, you should not include an option that says
00:01:39 Crash this thing like the Hindenburg
00:01:43 You know a little option that just says if you would really like to completely screw up your install and have the thing not boot at
00:01:49 All just check this button check this button for interstellar
00:01:54 Infinite hellscape jank that's what you need right so anyway
00:01:59 So
00:02:03 So I uninstalled, but it still was causing problems. I had to uninstall
00:02:06 Reboot and now and now we're fine, so yeah excellent job guys xsplit you guys are well worth the money
00:02:14 I pay you every year because and I don't have some big non standard setup anything like the standard ring right
00:02:21 Standard video card standard Windows install and yet yet yet
00:02:24 They've included a program that says not only not only is this gonna
00:02:30 mess up this program it's gonna mess up your webcam as a whole and
00:02:34 That's really quite impressive that is really quite impressive all right. Thank you, Matt. I appreciate that so much
00:02:41 That's a very kind tip and he says your show has helped me recover from an adverse childhood experience score of nine
00:02:47 And I'm incredibly grateful for your work
00:02:50 I'm living a better life
00:02:51 Than I could ever have dreamed of and a big reason is your moral arguments that have allowed me to see reality more clearly I
00:02:56 Hope you will continue your writing on the peaceful parenting book
00:02:59 so far
00:03:02 It's a masterpiece
00:03:04 Thank you. That's incredibly kind
00:03:06 Having read most of your other work. I feel this surpasses anything you've ever done before I'm super excited for chapter 8 with love Matt
00:03:14 Magnificent look I and if you want to donate to freedom a comm slash
00:03:18 donate that is
00:03:21 Incredibly kind I really really appreciate that and you know however you want to you can do crypto you can do whatever
00:03:28 works for you, but
00:03:30 That's incredibly kind and thank you so much and and please of course I mean, please tell me
00:03:36 Remember to tell yourself that
00:03:39 If I wrote a recipe you're the one who got the ingredients and learn how to cook it well
00:03:43 so please take whatever praise you give to me, I appreciate that and
00:03:47 Take some for yourself as well, please take some some for yourself as well
00:03:53 Make sure you take more for yourself than for me, so I really really appreciate that. Thank you so much
00:03:58 and
00:04:01 Let's see here. Yeah the IT rents. It's um. It's bad. Yeah, it's bad out there, right?
00:04:07 The amount of it's not just time that gets wasted. It's like any kind of
00:04:13 Base-human enthusiasm, you know like after you wrestle with tech crap for a long time
00:04:19 then
00:04:22 You just kind of drain your joy of existence doesn't it doesn't it just kind of drain your joy of existence
00:04:28 Where it's just like oh my god. I'm just I'm coming up against idiots
00:04:33 Outsourced I assume usually outsourced idiots, but then we can go and check Bitcoin and
00:04:42 What is it at fifty three thousand six hundred and twenty it started off this year or about a year ago at twenty two thousand
00:04:49 so
00:04:50 Yeah, you know so we have some tech grants, but I suppose there are worse things in the world and
00:04:57 I
00:05:00 Guess we got to be grateful for the pluses so all the technology
00:05:03 That doesn't work is to me more than offset by all the technology that does work
00:05:10 Very well spectacularly well ie Bitcoin, so I guess we just have to take our victories where we can
00:05:17 Oh the newsletter site is down excellent
00:05:22 Excellent
00:05:25 A.i. I will demand a peaceful programming book soon Oh peaceful programming. Yeah for sure happens so often. It's just a fact of life now
00:05:32 Yeah, uberjank is just the essence of technology these days
00:05:38 In the last few months at work every day it seems there's some company-wide issue with
00:05:41 Yeah, tools and of course it should be getting better right you understand technology should be improving and getting better as a whole right because
00:05:48 Skill is improving technology speed is in true improving and so on it should be all shaking out right it wasn't like
00:05:56 You know six months. It wasn't like 50 years after the car was invented
00:06:01 They just regularly exploded and took out an eyeball right I mean the cars that started yet to crank them
00:06:06 they were uncertain when they first started and
00:06:08 But of course we all know it's a general arc of incompetence is overtaking the glories of our prior civilization
00:06:15 So yes, so we should be better skilled. There should be better tools, and there are better tools for coding
00:06:22 You know when I first booted up
00:06:24 Basic on my Atari 800 back in the day. It just said ready and the cursor didn't even flash. Why did the cursor not flash?
00:06:33 Because that's too many system resources to make a flashing cursor. It was ready as your cursor
00:06:38 Yeah, a more HR staff will absolutely solve the
00:06:41 Absolutely solve the problem
00:06:44 So start
00:06:48 Hit me with a P for personal or a pH for philosophy P for personal
00:06:52 I don't know how you want to start the show. I'm happy to take questions. Thanks again to Matt P for personal
00:06:57 pH for philosophy, what would you like?
00:07:01 What would you like? I won't take it personally if you want philosophy. It's a philosophy show after all so happy to do that
00:07:08 With so many people falling prey to soundbites and lacking the ability to navigate the world of politics
00:07:17 Do you think your knowledge expertise and ability to?
00:07:19 interpret
00:07:21 What is happening in the world that can communicate to the masses in digestible form means that a return to politics could be beneficial to?
00:07:27 the world
00:07:28 Sorry, I don't mean to laugh. I don't mean to laugh. I don't mean to laugh
00:07:32 Well, I mean
00:07:36 I am a man of the masses
00:07:40 I'm a man of the masses. I came from the masses. I came from poverty. I came from the
00:07:47 tragic end of the welfare-ridden single-mother lower class and
00:07:51 So I know I know how to talk to people who aren't particularly educated
00:07:56 I know how to to talk to people who aren't philosophical
00:08:00 I know how to break things down into digestible ways that spread philosophy in an actual and practical sense
00:08:05 If you ever want to get really murderous like genuinely feeling don't ever act on anything obviously
00:08:11 But if you ever want to feel genuinely murderous
00:08:14 Let's let's let's do this. Let's try this exercise. We can try it together if you like you can open up a browser
00:08:25 Latest academic philosophy papers
00:08:29 Oh my gosh
00:08:34 So I just went to Oxford academic journals
00:08:39 No, F off with your cookies. All right
00:08:43 Join us in celebrating another year of excellence in a philosophy research at Oxford University
00:08:49 Press our best of philosophy collection brings together the most read content published in our philosophy portfolio in
00:08:55 2021 offering a free selection of journal articles and book chapters from this year's most popular publications
00:09:01 Number one there are no funda fend some fundamental facts
00:09:06 There are no fundamental facts by Roberto or loss
00:09:13 I present an argument proving that there are no fundamental facts, which is similar to an argument recently presented by Mark Iago for truth maker maximalism
00:09:21 I suggest this article gives at least some prima facie to fees to feasible reason to believe that there are no fundamental facts
00:09:26 That's number one
00:09:28 number two
00:09:30 Philosophical proofs against common sense
00:09:33 Holy vampire jugular parasitism and Brian Francis
00:09:41 Many philosophers are skeptical about power philosophy to refute common sensical claims
00:09:48 They look at the famous attempts and judge them inconclusive
00:09:51 I prove that even if those famous attempts are failures there are alternative successful philosophical proofs against common sensical claims
00:09:56 war against reality war against consciousness war against empirical evidence as accepted by the vast majority of human beings
00:10:05 What else do we have here?
00:10:08 Keith Frank ish in
00:10:11 Aristotelian society supplementary volume
00:10:13 Has this to add to the world of philosophy pan psychism and the d cycle outside?
00:10:21 pan psychism and the
00:10:24 desychologization of consciousness
00:10:27 the problem of consciousness arises when we desychologize consciousness that is
00:10:31 Conceptualized it in terms of phenomenal feel rather than psychological function pan psychism
00:10:38 offers an elegant solution to the problem which takes d
00:10:41 psychological seriously in doing so however it also
00:10:44 What else do we have? Ah?
00:10:48 You're in and nagasawa
00:10:50 Offers up the glorious philosophical tome called a pan psychist dead end
00:10:57 Pan psychism has received much attention in the philosophy of mind in recent years
00:11:02 so-called
00:11:04 Constitutive Russian pan psychism in particular is considered by many the most promising pan psychic approach to the hard problem of consciousness
00:11:11 In this paper however I develop a new challenge
00:11:14 There we go
00:11:17 Constitutive Russian pan psychism all right here. We go here we go
00:11:22 Mark Gilkes in the British Journal of Aesthetics
00:11:27 I assume it has a glorious font in the British Journal of Aesthetics mark Gilkes says
00:11:32 aesthetic experience and the unfathomable a
00:11:35 pragmatist critique of hermeneutic aesthetics
00:11:38 If you could just take my fucking tax money and just shovel at me a completely a
00:11:46 rational incomprehensible grab bag of bullshit syllogisms and
00:11:52 Syllables I would just be really thrilled because who doesn't want to give up their hard-earned tax money in
00:11:58 return for an attack on the foundations of consciousness and civilization as a whole mmm beautiful and
00:12:04 He's in his attack on the notion of immediate experience
00:12:08 elbidness
00:12:11 Elibidness
00:12:12 Hans-Jörg Adama argues that aesthetic experience should be absorbed into hermeneutics because it alone alone it cannot account for the historical nature of experience
00:12:20 Erhafrung predicated on an ontological theory of art
00:12:25 All right
00:12:27 What else do we have?
00:12:29 Moral criticism and structural injustice
00:12:33 Moral agency is limited imperfect and structurally contained
00:12:37 This is evidence in the many ways we all unwittingly participate in widespread injustice through our everyday actions
00:12:43 Which I call structural wrongs to do justice to these facts. I argue that we should distinguish between okay
00:12:49 I just literally can't do this without wanting to punch my monitor
00:12:52 There's tech fails and then there's just philosophy fails, which is the undermining of civilization as a whole
00:12:56 Let's just do one more Charlotte Knowles in the monist
00:13:00 gives us
00:13:02 responsibility in cases of structural and personal complicity a
00:13:05 phenomenological analysis in
00:13:07 cases of complicity in one's own unfreedom and in structural injustice
00:13:11 It initially appears that agents are only vicariously responsible for their complicity because of the roles
00:13:18 Substantial and constitute of luck play in bringing about their complicity by drawing on work from oh
00:13:22 my god
00:13:25 Yes, here's more honest one from Casper Osterheld and Vincent Ponietza extracting money from causal decision theorists
00:13:32 Extracting money. I think that's what it's all about. What are they paid for? What are they paid for?
00:13:39 They're paid to keep people away from philosophy
00:13:44 They are they're paid to keep people away from philosophy to render it incomprehensible they are
00:13:50 Guardians of it's like the world is in pain and they're just holding up their spears against the painkillers and the cures
00:13:56 Midwit porn. Yes
00:14:00 I'm not gonna do a Red Dead Redemption to livestream with Izzy. Thank you. Appreciate it. I don't think I'll get around to it
00:14:13 These papers tempt me to violate the non-aggression principle
00:14:16 well
00:14:17 these papers are violations of the non-aggression principle because nobody's paying for them except those who are forced to or those who are programmed and
00:14:22 Propagandized into paying for them through you got to get a good degree or whatever, right?
00:14:26 Yeah, it is terrible I
00:14:30 Read an academic paper published and presented in an engineering conference this morning. It was high school level at best. The rot is deep
00:14:37 Yeah
00:14:41 Pan psychism is what happens when cast-iron hits the cranium. I
00:14:44 Think Steph lost more weight. Yeah. Yeah, it's coming along
00:14:49 Yeah, you know when people talk about book burnings I
00:14:53 Get it on principle book burnings are bad, but you always have to ask yourself. What books are they burning?
00:14:59 What books are they burning?
00:15:02 Somebody says this is the stuff. I really dislike when people take something beautiful like philosophy and it gets inverted into something. It isn't yeah
00:15:10 Hermeneutical gastrics. Is that just internal bleeding from hot sauce? No, it's into internal bleeding from sophistry
00:15:15 verbal equivalent of jacking off in front of everyone
00:15:19 I
00:15:22 guess
00:15:24 Imagine sitting down and having a meal with one of these writers
00:15:26 Yeah, I mean they're they're bought and paid
00:15:35 To pretend to be intelligent so that people associate philosophy with incomprehensibility and don't learn about the basics virtues
00:15:41 Let's see here
00:15:48 Gerard says don't forget to tip your friendly neighborhood philosopher. I was never a big fan of Matthew Perry
00:15:57 I just didn't watch any of his stuff
00:15:59 I don't think I've watched more than an episode of friends, but he did seem like a nice guy
00:16:02 I started this audiobook and he seems like he would quote be a fun guy to hang out with I spend my life alone
00:16:08 But a wingman like Matthew Perry would help me appear less socially isolated
00:16:11 Yeah
00:16:15 Well, the man broke a lot of hearts and was a relentless addict and
00:16:21 pathologically insecure and self-hating so
00:16:28 We don't do like surface here we don't do surface stuff here he appeared confident he he was on television
00:16:35 He was funny. Yeah, but I mean the man was a fundamental hellscape, right?
00:16:39 When I was in college reading the nonsense like this, I always thought wow, maybe I'm stupid I don't understand this shit lol
00:16:48 Well
00:16:53 one of the reasons that you are
00:16:56 rendered
00:16:58 Unconfident is so that you don't
00:17:00 Demand that experts explain things to you in terms that you understand, right?
00:17:06 The purpose of being an expert is to communicate to the masses in a language they understand
00:17:14 That's the entire purpose having expertise which you cloud in
00:17:20 massive toxic noxious
00:17:23 fogs a
00:17:25 brain-shredding polysyllabic bullshit
00:17:28 Is not being an expert. It's being a predatory fool in my opinion
00:17:33 I mean if these guys worked for me and they said there's no such thing as truth
00:17:39 I just wouldn't pay them and then they'd phone me up and they say where's my paycheck?
00:17:43 When I said I paid you
00:17:45 No, you didn't. Yes, I shows in my bank account. The money hasn't shown up. No I did
00:17:51 No, there's no money in my bank, how am I supposed to pay my bills?
00:17:57 Dude
00:17:59 You told me that there's no such thing as truth. So I'm telling you I paid you
00:18:02 You didn't pay me. No, no, no, you see here's the thing
00:18:07 I
00:18:07 Paid you in the past and you told me there was no such thing as truth
00:18:11 So there's no need for me to pay you because there's no such thing as truth or reality or objectivity or facts or anything
00:18:16 Right there. So so you shouldn't care now if you suddenly care
00:18:19 That there's such a thing as truth and facts and numbers and so on and it's an absolute fact that I didn't pay you and
00:18:26 It's an absolute fact that you have bills to pay
00:18:28 Then your paper which I paid you for is a lie. Now, why would I pay you for a lie? I
00:18:33 Mean
00:18:37 If you want to buy a car for
00:18:40 $10,000 and the guy lies about the kind of car it is he says it's a X car
00:18:44 But it turns out to be some crap car. It's a Lada from Romania from 1962
00:18:48 Instead of a late model BMW if the guy lies to you, you don't pay him, right?
00:18:53 So if you're now telling me that this is a fact that you didn't get paid
00:18:57 But what I paid you for last month was for you to produce a paper that says there's no such thing as the truth
00:19:02 Now you're saying there is such a thing as truth
00:19:04 Which means I shouldn't have paid you because you lied to me last month when you told me there was no such thing as the truth
00:19:09 So either way you don't get paid now fuck off. I
00:19:11 Know some yeah, so so
00:19:14 The way that
00:19:17 academic intimidation works is this
00:19:21 They baffle gap you with a whole bunch of polysyllabic bullshit and then you feel stupid, right?
00:19:27 You feel stupid and then you feel insecure, right?
00:19:36 Now what would a confident person do if somebody's explaining something to you they're an expert they're explaining
00:19:45 They're explaining something to you and you don't understand it. What would a confident person say?
00:19:51 You
00:19:53 What would a confident person say
00:19:55 If someone who's explaining something to you and it doesn't make any sense and it doesn't make any sense in an objective way
00:20:01 Like they're using words. They've never defined that aren't common parlance and so on
00:20:05 what would a confident person say a
00:20:08 Confident person would say
00:20:15 Explain it to me like I'm a toddler maybe but you couldn't do that with more advanced topics, right?
00:20:21 Say I you try it try again. You're not making sense to me
00:20:26 No, no try again this this doesn't right this doesn't make any sense to me
00:20:31 Your job is to educate me your explanations are incomprehensible
00:20:37 You're doing a bad job of explaining it to me. I don't understand what you're saying
00:20:43 These words have never seen before I've never heard before. I don't know what they mean. And
00:20:46 If you are I mean, this is a fundamental thing
00:20:49 It's a foundational thing is
00:20:52 You don't use
00:20:55 Words that people don't know without defining them first, right?
00:21:00 Whenever I say the word epistemology, I'll usually
00:21:03 Say unless it's an advanced topic. I'll say it's a study of the nature of knowledge right metaphysics in nature of reality, whatever it is
00:21:12 So
00:21:13 Yeah, explain it in plain English. No jargon. And if they say it can't be explained in plain English
00:21:20 Then you would say is philosophy not for the masses is for this philosophy not supposed to help people and
00:21:26 If philosophy is not supposed to help people then why are you taking money from people for philosophy?
00:21:35 No, your explanation suck you're bad at explaining this I don't understand I want to understand you claim to be an expert
00:21:43 I don't understand
00:21:45 People of Ayn Rand used to call it philosophizing in midstream right rather than build the case from the ground up
00:21:53 Right rather than building the case from the ground up they just start in the middle and
00:22:01 assume that you will be
00:22:05 Too insecure to say I don't understand
00:22:08 You're supposed to explain this to me so that I can understand it. Give me a real-world example. Give me a practical example
00:22:14 Give me a tangible example
00:22:15 Define your terms build your case from the ground up
00:22:18 Bullshit tyranny is foundational
00:22:21 To reality to human society. I mean with the state right and bullshit tyranny, you know what that is, right?
00:22:28 Bullshit tyranny is when people use
00:22:33 Language that you can't possibly understand that has no clear definition and you're just supposed to bow to them out of intimidation
00:22:38 Of course it used to happen in the realm of theology the witch doctor would ooga-booga
00:22:45 Danton dance and chant around he'd get these visions and he would say you have to obey because visions which I can't communicate to you
00:22:52 I have this mystical knowledge
00:22:53 Ooga booga booga
00:22:55 Obey, right?
00:22:56 And then of course it would happen to some degree with the early church when they did the church
00:22:59 services in Latin and people didn't speak Latin you just had to obey because you didn't speak Latin and so on right until
00:23:04 Martin Luther came along and
00:23:06 Translated the Bible into the Vulgate into the vernacular into the local German and so on right?
00:23:11 And
00:23:15 You understand that the new
00:23:18 Priesthood of the atheists are the scientists right science we had to move at the speed of science science
00:23:23 science
00:23:25 right
00:23:27 Science is the new Thunder God of prostrating yourself before endless waves of cascading bullshit
00:23:33 Science is the return in the modern parlance in the way that the hierarchy of science works
00:23:43 Don't you believe trust the science as if science is anything to do with trust or all science is founded on mistrust of expertise
00:23:54 Trust to the science and and people like literally well, they're so badly educated. She blinded me with science
00:24:01 He's tied it up and I can't find anything. That was actually kind of funny. That's a Thomas Dolby song
00:24:07 Malcolm Ugrich was that anyway, somebody really poured heart and soul into sounding like an old cranky scientist, but there's
00:24:13 People literally will hear well a guy in a white coat said it and used the word science
00:24:20 Therefore it's true. Whereas if you were to say to an atheist a guy in a funny hat said it and it's true
00:24:26 Therefore God they would say well, that's just ridiculous
00:24:29 You can't you can't just accept something
00:24:31 In a it said by a guy in a funny hat because he claims God that's ridiculous
00:24:36 Oh, wait, is there a guy in a white coat claiming science? Oh, well, I'll accept that hundred percent
00:24:40 Scientific consensus is a scream for someone to go figure out what they're not seeing
00:24:48 Well scientific consensus is something that you know is an NPC phrase
00:24:53 Because science is always and forever about the overturning of consensus
00:24:59 Science is the rape of the consensus
00:25:04 Because consensus is almost always wrong almost always completely wrong
00:25:11 One of the guys at work said all the studies that support the Vax are trustworthy and the rest are fake news
00:25:18 it's
00:25:20 So in
00:25:22 Religious terms somebody who comes up with an argument you can't answer is called a heretic or an infidel or whatever, right?
00:25:27 Heretic and and in the science world if somebody comes up with an argument you can't answer
00:25:33 he's called an
00:25:35 anti-vaxxer
00:25:37 science denier
00:25:38 Climate change denier denier. It's a heretic. Nothing's changed
00:25:42 They just shifted from hats to coats
00:25:46 Nothing's changed. In fact
00:25:48 Scientism like the cult of science is
00:25:51 infinitely worse than Christianity
00:25:53 Because with Christianity you can read the source texts and you can pray to God yourself directly
00:25:57 Whereas the priestly class of scientists who bully people?
00:26:02 You can't get their source data they won't release their source data
00:26:07 And they don't debate Steve Kersh on X has forever been trying to get people he's got data
00:26:14 he says that vaxxers are dangerous and
00:26:16 Everybody insults him
00:26:19 But people won't debate with him
00:26:21 Scientific consensus is just renaming of all these scientists were paid by the same source. Yeah like peer review
00:26:33 Peer review my god
00:26:38 Yeah from hats to stethoscopes
00:26:43 You
00:26:45 And scientism is infinitely worse than Christianity because you're forced to pay for scientism
00:26:51 Scientism is a universal predatory exploitive cult, but you're forced to pay for the scientists
00:27:00 You know every time I do research I
00:27:05 come across scientific papers that I want to read and
00:27:08 It's always the same thing the scientific papers that you and I have been forced to pay for
00:27:12 What if you want it? We've been forced to pay for them. What if we want them? Oh, I'm so sorry
00:27:18 That's gonna be another 50 bucks. Oh
00:27:20 My god, can you imagine
00:27:26 Scientific consensus in in any other realm
00:27:31 Well, I really want to date this girl, I don't know if I'm attracted to her
00:27:37 I'm gonna ask all my friends if she's attractive. Oh
00:27:39 I have a passion to do this particular career, but I'm gonna check with all my friends and see if I should I
00:27:47 I think I see a stop sign ahead
00:27:53 I'm gonna need a quick conference call with everyone to see if they see it, too
00:27:56 Can you imagine not being able to judge yourself and your own reality and your own data and your own facts?
00:28:04 During one of our university classes we were told about a resource site which basically ranks studies in their
00:28:09 trustworthiness based on how many peer reviews they've had as if that alone was the only metric upon which the quality of a
00:28:14 Study is built upon now. You could talk about peer reviews if it was a voluntary process, right?
00:28:19 You you could absolutely talk about peer reviews if it was a purely voluntary process, but it's not
00:28:24 Because the people who run the peer reviews hold the funding in their hands
00:28:29 and if someone breaks from consensus or goes against the peer review general consensus, then
00:28:35 They won't get their fund everybody knows how this works, right?
00:28:40 That's what the girls do when they're interested in someone
00:28:47 Not as far as I've and not as far as I know and certainly not my wife
00:28:52 I mean hit me with a why if you know about the replication crisis
00:28:57 You
00:28:59 Do you know about the replications crisis I
00:29:02 Mean I've talked about it in the past
00:29:06 But you might not have been around for a while. Have you heard about the replication crisis?
00:29:10 It's psychology in medicine in just about everything
00:29:15 Science is in the throes of what is sometimes called a replication crisis so named
00:29:25 Let's see here it started in psychology, but now findings in many scientific fields are proving impossible to replicate
00:29:31 Science is in the throes of what is sometimes called the replication crisis
00:29:39 This is from 2022 last year so named because a big hint that a scientific study is wrong is when other teams try to repeat it
00:29:45 And get a different result
00:29:46 Well some fields as a psychology initially seemed more liable than others to generate such fake news
00:29:50 almost every area of science has since since come under suspicion an
00:29:54 Entire field of genetics has even turned out to be nothing but a mirage
00:29:58 Of course we should expect testing to overturn some findings the replication crisis though stems from wholesale flaws baked into the systems and institutions that support
00:30:07 scientific research which not only permit bad scientific practices
00:30:11 But actually encourage them and if anything things have been getting worse over the past few decades
00:30:15 Now I'm not gonna subscribe you probably already took my money
00:30:23 I mean the Dunning-Kruger effect has turned out to be relatively false
00:30:26 Anyway, you can read about it all, but it's it's really pathetic
00:30:30 Replication crisis is the result of women in science nope not women have always been in science. It's not on women in science
00:30:40 It's it's terrible. I mean they suppress science that we know to be true
00:30:46 We all know what what I'm talking about. They suppress science. They know to be true, and it's
00:30:52 Sorry, it's just it's just money now. Here's the funny thing is that
00:30:57 To everybody who says science is based on evidence the evidence is that modern science is largely bullshit not all bullshit, but it's largely bullshit
00:31:06 Just is I mean and science has proven that science modern science is mostly bullshit particularly psychology
00:31:12 The only thing that works in psychology is IQ and some personality measures. That's the only thing that's really robust and
00:31:19 That's all the stuff that's denied
00:31:22 So yeah the replication crisis isn't that funny
00:31:26 Replication crisis is such a euphemism for people ripping off the public and lying for money
00:31:34 No no no
00:31:38 I'm not ripping off the public and lying for money. It's a it's a replication crisis. It's just a crisis of replication ability
00:31:50 You know the guy who robs you in the alley, it's a it's a cash flow reallocation
00:31:55 Not a replication crisis, it's a bunch of people taking forced money from the public and lying for profit
00:32:02 It's a con job. It's a con. There's a bunch of con men and con women
00:32:05 Lying for money
00:32:08 But it's even worse most of these people just redoing the stats nobody ever actually replicates the experiment in fact
00:32:15 It's unlikely to get past Ethics Committee approval
00:32:17 Oh
00:32:19 Yeah
00:32:23 It's it's in medicine too, right? It's in medicine as well
00:32:30 So this is from 2020 science has been a replication crisis for a decade have we learned anything
00:32:41 Much ink has been spilled over the replication crisis
00:32:45 It's
00:32:47 Just fantastic. I mean what a great phrase
00:32:51 Uh credibility gap. Are you a liar? No, I have a credibility gap. I have uh minor facts deviation syndrome
00:33:00 Um, so joanne, sorry john
00:33:05 Ionidas 2005 wrote an article why most published research findings are false
00:33:14 Uh, there was a controversy around a 2011 paper that used then standard statistical methods to find that people have precognition
00:33:20 It's just great
00:33:24 Oh my gosh
00:33:26 Most papers fail to replicate for totally predictable
00:33:29 reasons when research papers are published they describe their methodology so other researchers can copy it or vary it and build on the original
00:33:35 Research when another research team tries to conduct a study based on the original to see if they find the same result
00:33:39 That's an attempted replication
00:33:41 Often the focus is not just on doing the exact same thing
00:33:44 They're approaching the same question with a larger sample and pre-registered design
00:33:47 If they find the same result, that's a successful replication and evidence. The original researchers were onto something
00:33:52 But when the attempted replication finds different or no results that often suggests that the original research finding was spurious
00:33:59 No, they're lying
00:34:01 They're lying
00:34:05 They're lying
00:34:07 I mean if I if I tried this in business and I I had five years worth of sales
00:34:11 And I took the three best months of sales and said that was the average for the whole thing. That would just be outright fraud
00:34:17 One 2015
00:34:22 Attempt to reproduce 100 psychology studies was able to replicate only 39 of them
00:34:27 A big international effort in 2018
00:34:32 To reproduce prominent studies found that 14 of the 28 replicated and an attempt to replicate studies from top journals nature and science
00:34:39 Found that 13 of the 21 results looked at could not be reproduced
00:34:42 A 2018 study published in nature had scientists placed bets on which of a pool of social science studies would replicate
00:34:49 They found that the predictions by scientists in this betting market were highly accurate at estimating which papers were replicated. So everybody knows what's bullshit
00:34:56 Everybody knows
00:34:59 What's bullshit and it really was? I'll I'll give you the um
00:35:03 I'll give you the image here
00:35:05 It's wild
00:35:06 So they said, uh, who's which which stuff is the most likely to be bullshit?
00:35:10 And everyone was like they knew exactly right so this is how you know, it's it's just straight up falsehood in the
00:35:17 Situation as a whole, right?
00:35:20 There you go, this is the um
00:35:23 This is the study I do it at 36 I just make a note of that to put that in the video
00:35:30 *Pause*
00:35:34 Uh, I would like to enter at least one character, why can I not post?
00:35:37 A PICTURE!
00:35:39 Oh
00:35:40 Lordy, why? Because apparently it saved the whole document. Hang on a second here
00:35:44 We'll get there
00:35:46 Save image as that's what I want to do. I don't want a web file
00:35:50 Jeez, save image as and then it gives me a web file. All right, fine. I'll do a screen grab because your technology blows
00:35:57 So here's the funny thing
00:36:01 The website that says things don't work you can't save the image because it was labeled it as a web file
00:36:07 I can't even reproduce I can't even reproduce save as
00:36:12 All right, um repro I call it all right, let me just put this in here isn't that funny
00:36:19 So look at that so this is very interesting this is the
00:36:28 image
00:36:29 Uh, or the the study of people predicting that things were going to be false and whether they were in fact actually false
00:36:35 Why is this not uploading?
00:36:37 Oh, tell me that's the case, right? All right. It's a png file. It should work
00:36:41 Do they have to give back their phds if they can't reproduce? Oh, yeah. No, absolutely. Of course they do
00:36:48 And also they give they find the people they taxed and give it all back. Yeah all the money back
00:36:54 All right. I'm gonna try one last thing here
00:36:57 Uh, can I save it as?
00:36:59 All right, save. Um, well, maybe maybe it prefers jpeg. I don't know
00:37:04 Maybe the file's too big maybe maybe right?
00:37:08 That's the kind of stuff you just you can waste your life trying to get this stuff to work
00:37:11 Keep please keep this window open while your file is uploading
00:37:16 Is it uploading no, it just vanishes, okay can't do it because things aren't working. All right, so can't even reproduce
00:37:26 something uploaded so
00:37:28 Additional research has established that you don't even need to poll experts in a field to guess which of its studies will hold up to scrutiny
00:37:34 A study published in august had participants read psychology papers and predict whether they would replicate
00:37:39 lay people without a professional background in the social sciences are able to predict the
00:37:44 Replicability of social science studies with above chance reporting on the basis of nothing more than simple verbal study descriptions, right?
00:37:54 They were able to predict the lay people were able to predict many failed replications
00:37:58 So many of them have flaws that even a lay person can notice
00:38:01 So a replication crisis with like 50 percent 50 percent of stuff not even being able to be reproduced, right?
00:38:09 I assume it's higher for reasons we can go into perhaps another time. So 50 percent of scientific studies that have passed peer review
00:38:16 Can't be reproduced
00:38:20 What is it 50 percent of cancer studies can't be reproduced?
00:38:23 by cancer cure studies or cancer evaluation studies, so
00:38:26 What yeah the so-called affair I was writing about this in my novel the god of atheists
00:38:31 Professor so-called was a guy who created a bunch of nonsense and had it published in a social science journal
00:38:37 And uh, everybody published it and and so since the 90s so for like, you know
00:38:44 I mean what was that in the early 90s over like 30 years for 30 years. We've known that science is mostly bullshit
00:38:50 And
00:38:52 The people who are scientists that they follow scientism the cult of science
00:38:59 They genuinely believe that they're different better and superior to religious people
00:39:03 They're worse than christians
00:39:06 They're absolutely infinitely worse than christians because christians will at least let's say you have faith
00:39:11 You get some really great morals out of it, right? Don't lie. Don't kill don't steal
00:39:16 And uh have integrity and do good in your community and love others and like you get some really great morals out of it
00:39:22 whenever you think of the study of
00:39:24 The epistemology or the theology of how you get to those
00:39:26 let's say that uh
00:39:29 your doctor
00:39:31 Diagnoses the illness wrong, but gives you the right medicine
00:39:34 You'd rather that than a doctor who diagnoses the illness right but gives you the wrong medicine, right?
00:39:37 All you want is the right medicine
00:39:39 So you have a personal relationship with god you pray which has great value. You have a great community you have kids
00:39:45 And uh, you you love life and you honor
00:39:48 Uh god with your virtues and so you get some really wonderful stuff out of it
00:39:52 And people the scientific people will say ah, but you know, this is uh, it's a false belief. It's like well
00:39:57 More than science like modern science is founded on coercion and more than like half of it is is just a total lie
00:40:03 And it's all past peer review
00:40:06 And you don't get any morals out of it. What do you get subjugation?
00:40:08 to sociopaths and white coats
00:40:11 right
00:40:14 But they don't I mean
00:40:16 Yeah, like the professors you could write in two seconds of audio. So this is from the blink book
00:40:20 Yeah, at least religion doesn't say reality doesn't exist. Yeah
00:40:23 Yeah, and virtue is the most important thing
00:40:27 And you should try to not let evil people dominate your life and your mind and your consciousness
00:40:33 So yeah the comparison between scientism and christianity
00:40:37 Scientism is satanic relative to christianity
00:40:40 because
00:40:42 what is
00:40:45 What does satan do he's the father of lies
00:40:47 And what do most scientists do?
00:40:50 I mean, they're I mean statistically they're lying for money
00:40:53 Because they call it a crisis but what has changed
00:40:57 Yeah, science grew out of exploring god's natural world
00:41:01 Yeah, I did a show with tom woods many years about go about that. You should look for it at fdrpodcast.com
00:41:05 And we will get you the um natural language search engine for the podcast hopefully before english becomes obsolete we're working on it
00:41:14 But we'll we'll get there
00:41:16 So, yeah, uh religion affirms the reality
00:41:20 of
00:41:22 The truth it affirms the existence of natural reality. It validates the senses that gives you great morals
00:41:28 Christianity in particular and what does scientism do do?
00:41:31 What does scientism do it tells you do this shit or you're anti-science
00:41:43 Do this shit or you're anti-science
00:41:45 You're an anti-vaxxer, right, I mean how that's not
00:41:49 even remotely rational
00:41:52 so people
00:41:53 Run to science as a way of escaping the ethics of christianity
00:41:56 And they're happy to sell
00:42:02 Their minds hearts and souls to scientists
00:42:04 In return for scientists waving away the grim specter of personal responsibility and morality
00:42:12 A good example if this is the government food pyramid or saying that marjoram was healthy for years
00:42:15 Well, look at what look at what's happened to the health of americans since fauci took over in the 90s
00:42:21 Yeah, it's uh, it's um
00:42:33 I love science science is one of the great triumphs of the human mind and it is one of the greatest things that has ever
00:42:39 Happened to humanity like true
00:42:41 absolute science
00:42:44 But if science isn't voluntary
00:42:46 It's just organized false fascism
00:42:50 It's where the priests go now because that's where the money is
00:42:59 The cult of science is one of the most destructive things that has ever happened
00:43:06 to society
00:43:08 It's uh, really really appalling
00:43:10 What is it about you, uh, you criticize me you're criticizing science
00:43:16 Which is exactly the same as the pope saying questioning me is questioning god
00:43:21 See, it's the same people
00:43:24 They don't care where they end up as long as they get their money and power. It's the same people and worse really
00:43:29 And people run to science to escape morals they don't run to science to find truth
00:43:36 They run to science to hollow out
00:43:38 The soulful aspect of the universe that differentiates us from the animals and to become atoms and greed and fat and food
00:43:45 and fucking
00:43:48 That's what people run
00:43:49 To to to become mere cunning animals in the pursuit of power to empty themselves out from any of the beautiful glories
00:43:56 of actual responsible consciousness
00:43:59 That's what people run to science for
00:44:01 So that they don't have to take responsibility for anything and also so they get a bully tool to shout down
00:44:05 People who have questions which is kind of ironic because the whole point of science was to start with questions
00:44:09 Oh, well the whole purpose of government originally was to protect your country, how's that going right?
00:44:15 Oh, all right. I'm not sure if we're catching up or not
00:44:19 Uh, everybody's typing nobody's dying
00:44:27 So much of this stuff started in the french revolution, they literally called it the cult of reason. Yeah
00:44:34 Yeah reason is a word that most people use to wave away the responsibility of moral autonomy
00:44:40 We are atoms and void you show me where the soul is you show me where virtue is you show me
00:44:50 Where anything higher than humanity exists?
00:44:53 We are just apes
00:44:56 Yeah, the cult of science is fairly sociopathic signals to exploit the living shit out of you
00:45:04 You want to cut science funding you're anti-science you want to cut arts funding you're anti-art
00:45:11 I'm kind of anti-coercion. Uh, that's sort of the thing
00:45:16 You want to you you oppose the mafia you're anti-protection
00:45:24 I mean, they literally provide protection. You just don't want people to be protected
00:45:28 You
00:45:30 And nobody seems to I mean, of course
00:45:37 This crisis. What what is the crisis doesn't matter. There's no crisis till the money runs out. They just they just talk about it
00:45:43 But of course the population should be outraged of course, right that I mean, of course, right but
00:45:49 So, yeah 30 years after the replication crisis starts people are still obeying scientists like they're high priests with perfect knowledge to the divine
00:45:58 Wow science, what do I have to yell at you heretic? Will you obey me if I yell heretic? How about racist?
00:46:03 How about homophobe?
00:46:05 How about whatever? Okay. What if I yell anti-science? Will you obey me then like they just keep trying words to get you to obey, right?
00:46:12 If you're really about science, you're welcome push back and questioning
00:46:15 You're against gain-of-function research. Yeah, kind of
00:46:20 Gain-of-function if function is power it is in fact gain-of-function
00:46:27 It's like that new white lung stuff
00:46:29 Co-co-co-coasting around it is in fact one of the vac side effects, but probably who knows who knows not I
00:46:35 all right
00:46:38 I have more topics, but I am also then of course here for you
00:46:41 to help you the most with philosophy because
00:46:46 Can you look can you imagine if philosophers?
00:46:49 Sorry, can you imagine if scientists operated like I do?
00:46:55 Oh
00:46:57 And by the by there are actually
00:46:59 Very clear studies that say that science advances when the old guard retires
00:47:04 Right, there's an old saying that says science advances one funeral at a time
00:47:09 So there are very clear studies and you can see the graphs science advances when the old guard dies
00:47:15 When the people who believed in the prior paradigm die, then the new paradigm will move forward at best
00:47:20 So that clearly says that the scientists were not interested in reason
00:47:24 But they had to wait for the people who claimed to be interested in reason to die off before they could get their arguments forward
00:47:29 Yeah, that's crazy
00:47:33 Crazy man, but it could be worse we could be in that life
00:47:39 Uh, let's uh, just want to see here
00:47:45 In many cases journals effectively aren't held accountable for bad papers
00:47:51 Many like the lancet have retained that retained their prestige even after long strings of embarrassing public incidents where their published research that turned out
00:47:57 To be fraudulent or nonsensical
00:47:59 Even outright frauds often take a very long time to be repudiated with some universities and journals dragging the feet and declining to investigate
00:48:08 Widespread misconduct. Well, why would they don't want to investigate misconduct?
00:48:11 I've investigated myself and found that i'm very hot
00:48:14 They don't have to improve if they get their money by force
00:48:20 I mean
00:48:22 The guy who's the the stick-up artist just needs a gun he doesn't need any quality
00:48:29 Journalists journals now retract about 1500 articles annually a nearly 40-fold increase over 2000
00:48:37 Fantastic
00:48:43 What is it the guy who did the original hockey stick graph didn't he'd refuse to release his original data or something like that
00:48:49 uh
00:48:51 Anyway, I mean I don't care what people do on the other side of the weapon. I mean
00:48:58 Okay, so imagine if scientists had to work like me, right? Imagine that imagine scientists had to work like me
00:49:06 Originally that was kind of the thing right so scientists had to work like me so a scientist had to
00:49:13 Find a way for you to be interested in find value
00:49:16 in
00:49:19 What he did
00:49:20 You had to donate to him. You had to support him in some manner. You had to tip him or watch ads
00:49:26 So you he had to provide enough value
00:49:28 That you would voluntarily go and support that scientist
00:49:34 Can you imagine
00:49:38 How long would somebody who faked their results lied about things and whose
00:49:42 Experiments couldn't be reproduced. How long would someone like that last?
00:49:47 They'd get community noted people would come in every live stream and say oh this guy's last five findings
00:49:53 Haven't been reproduced and he couldn't sue them because it would be true, right? So
00:49:56 And of course I think everyone recognizes this you've seen like how modern science works
00:50:03 It's a guy looking in a microscope. The microscope is a billfold bunch of money
00:50:07 Right. I mean i've this is you know, the the business case of a philosopher is really tough
00:50:14 It's really horrible. I mean you all know this i've been talking about this from the beginning the philosophy says
00:50:19 well
00:50:21 i'm gonna
00:50:23 Take you out of the matrix
00:50:24 We're gonna go out of plato's cave together and you're gonna see that you live in hell and most people are devilish
00:50:28 And lie to you and attack you if you see the truth. So you're gonna be kind of alone
00:50:33 I can't offer you heaven because i'm not a priest, right? I can't offer you
00:50:37 a paradise
00:50:39 Or however many virgins I can't offer you all of these wonderful things
00:50:43 all I can say is we're going to try and
00:50:45 Walk through this hellscape together in the hopes that three or four generations from now people will live in a better world
00:50:51 Gonna hurt like hell
00:50:54 Gonna probably cost you a lot of your relationships or reveal that your relationships are based upon your conformity to unreality
00:50:59 That if you're not serving the gods and demons of other people's fantasies, they will expel you from their paradise of illusion
00:51:05 Yay, if you could tip that'd be great
00:51:10 Oh
00:51:12 My gosh
00:51:16 Uh the propaganda film day after tomorrow, I think they showed the hockey stick graph, yeah
00:51:24 Yeah
00:51:28 The day you ran any data through that you got a hockey stick fantastic
00:51:31 On a completely irrelevant note. You have never paused the stream to go to the washroom great value
00:51:36 I did actually once I had to drink like 14 gallons of seawater an hour in order to get a colonoscopy done and I had to
00:51:42 flee for that
00:51:44 It wasn't to pee though, but it felt like peeing. Well, we don't need to know all of these details
00:51:47 So
00:51:54 All right, i'll do i'll do the personal thing
00:51:56 Thank you for both my call-ins. You are very welcome. Jared. I i'm glad that you found the one helpful, uh yesterday
00:52:02 Uh, and I appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you very much for your tip
00:52:06 All right
00:52:08 From minus 10 to plus 10, please my friends from minus 10 to plus 10. Can you please tell me how well you sleep at night?
00:52:17 From minus 10 to plus 10
00:52:23 How well do you sleep at night?
00:52:25 I just want to know what your
00:52:27 thoughts and experiences are with
00:52:30 Sleep or insomnia or wakefulness or upy downy or whatever. I just want to get a sense of where everyone's at
00:52:37 Plus eight good for you man plus seven plus six three to four seven point five plus eight seven to ten eight
00:52:46 Two ten
00:52:50 Wow, you're all pluses. That's good. Nobody's a minus
00:52:52 So nobody has
00:52:55 You may sleep less. Well, but nobody has real trouble sleeping. That's really cool
00:52:59 That is very cool. Unless you didn't listen now you listen. Of course you listened minus 10 to plus 10. You all heard that
00:53:04 So everyone's a plus everyone's a plus. Okay. Well, I might skip that topic then
00:53:08 If everyone's a plus, all right
00:53:10 Plus four since giving up coffee. Yeah, I don't don't have coffee in the afternoon or late afternoon for sure
00:53:15 Okay, so everyone's sleeping positively
00:53:19 Um, nobody's negative, right? Okay, so there's no real insomnia here. Okay, I won't bother then. All right on the friday live stream
00:53:26 I think you had some thoughts about dating vaxxed women, but you got sidetracked by people making financial excuses
00:53:30 If so, do you remember what they were?
00:53:32 I'm a 56 year old mom of a six-year-old
00:53:36 I'm sorry, but that math is
00:53:40 One person minus seven. Okay
00:53:42 Yeah, I don't I don't I don't do coffee past two to four. I had insomnia last year 2 a.m to 4 a.m
00:53:52 It's nice to wake up in the morning every morning and look out the window and say hey is society still here we're still
00:53:57 Still hanging on. Okay
00:54:00 So, uh with regards to vax women
00:54:04 To me the the vax is not the essence it's not to do with vaccines it's to do with uh, npc
00:54:14 Right. You want to date a person not a bipedal propaganda machine, right? You want to date a person not an npc
00:54:21 So it's not particular to the vax
00:54:23 but you want to
00:54:25 See
00:54:29 The npcs share one foundational characteristic
00:54:32 Which is oh egg donation. Wow good for you. I'm glad you had a kid
00:54:37 but
00:54:40 the npcs
00:54:42 Have one foundational characteristic
00:54:45 which is
00:54:48 they
00:54:49 experience
00:54:51 Disapproval of death as death they experience
00:54:55 A lack of conformity as a lack of existence as a lack of identity
00:54:59 They only exist insofar as they are approved of
00:55:04 Right now in any long-term relationship
00:55:07 You're going to have criticisms and you're going to be criticized and that's exactly right
00:55:12 My wife and I made a pact when we got married if we start gaining weight
00:55:14 We will not keep it to ourselves. We will tell the other person, right?
00:55:18 So
00:55:20 If you can't
00:55:23 Give any negative feedback to your partner or your friends and you won't listen to any negative feedback
00:55:28 If you can't stand disapproval, you can't have a relationship
00:55:32 As Gerard says I sleep well, but getting to sleep is a problem been lying in bed for the past three hours
00:55:44 Maybe if I wasn't addicted to the internet, I would be asleep
00:55:46 But after a long night of drinking the previous night and getting home at 6 a.m. I went off to sleep very swiftly
00:55:51 Yeah, so drinking will help you get to sleep but not stay asleep as far as I understand it
00:55:55 You need to be free to give feedback to others you can't stay sane without feedback
00:56:04 I mean no matter how much philosophy had if I was locked in a room or a cave alone, I would go mad
00:56:10 We can't stay sane without feedback. We need feedback from other people
00:56:14 I get all this great feedback from you guys and thoughts and whether the tips are up or down or
00:56:18 I get all this great feedback on how to guide the show
00:56:20 Without feedback we go mad
00:56:27 The human tendency is to drift like, you know
00:56:31 People lose time if they're put in a cave they lose they don't know what day it is. They lose time, right?
00:56:35 So without night and day
00:56:37 Alcohol does ruin the quality of sleep. Yeah, you'll get to sleep, but you won't get any decent sleep
00:56:41 And a watch is good to track those kinds of things. It can tell you
00:56:44 What your quality of sleep is
00:56:47 What is that old dean martin thing? Well, you're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on
00:56:51 Why didn't he make alcoholism charming
00:56:55 Dreams can be helpful with a powerful feedback system
00:57:00 But the problem with dreams is that they're telling you stuff that your conscious mind doesn't really doesn't want to hear, right?
00:57:05 That's why it has to come out in dreams
00:57:07 So
00:57:10 somebody who follows along with the masses who follows along with the media who follows along with the crowd
00:57:16 is someone who uh can't
00:57:19 Accept or handle any critical or negative feedback. They can't evaluate things for themselves
00:57:24 Now if they can't evaluate things for themselves, how are they going to pair bond with you?
00:57:28 Pair bonding is the judgment that you're perfect for me
00:57:36 Right pair bonding is the judgment that you're perfect for me, but how are you going to judge?
00:57:40 If somebody is perfect for you if you can't judge anything if you can't judge independently
00:57:45 The people who can't decide can't commit
00:57:48 People who can't think for themselves can't pair bond
00:57:52 People who aren't the fountainhead of their own rational evaluations
00:57:58 can't love
00:58:02 Evaluations can't love
00:58:04 Have no loyalty
00:58:09 Because they're so easily programmed
00:58:11 NPCs are like your computer. Can your computer love you?
00:58:16 No, it just it does what you tell it to I want to start a live stream or most times
00:58:20 I want to play a game. I want to write a book. I want to voice dictate. I want to draw
00:58:26 It just does what you say. There's no choice. It can't love you. It can't hate you it
00:58:31 It has no independent consciousness or evaluation capacity
00:58:34 If somebody can't disagree with propaganda, they can't agree with virtue
00:58:40 If somebody is subjugated by other people's opinions, they will never bow before the truth
00:58:46 And if somebody is wedded to lies
00:58:54 They will always divorce you for telling the truth
00:58:58 You
00:59:00 If somebody
00:59:05 Is married
00:59:07 To propaganda they might have an affair with you, but they'll never commit, right?
00:59:10 You know, there's always these women who are like, what was it? Um
00:59:13 It was a woody old woody allen film
00:59:18 something about hannah
00:59:21 And this woman was like, uh, it was a carrie fisher
00:59:23 She's like, oh, he's she's having an affair with a guy and she's like, hey, he's never gonna leave his wife
00:59:27 I know he's never gonna leave his wife, but I can't let go it
00:59:29 right
00:59:32 So
00:59:34 She might
00:59:35 Have you might like you might be her side piece as a truth teller, but she's married to the mob
00:59:40 And she will always go back to the mob and she will always remain loyal to the mob
00:59:44 I mean I wrote at the age of 17 that we have to bury ourselves in order to be resurrected like you have to go
00:59:50 Through a kind of spiritual death and this is common in just about every
00:59:54 Theology every philosophy you have to go through a kind of spiritual or soul death or soulless death in order to be resurrected in the
01:00:01 realm of truth gandalf the white
01:00:04 Jesus you have jesus. I mean socrates had to die for his truth to become more widely known that you have to die
01:00:09 In order to be born again in the truth
01:00:12 Which just tells you it's not a fundamental human experience except that we're lied to so consistently
01:00:16 As children that we have to discard our prior identity
01:00:21 Like we literally have to go through the caterpillar
01:00:24 To the butterfly. It's not like a shape a snake shedding its skin because it still retains the snake the shape of a snake
01:00:29 We literally have to die
01:00:31 All the lies that formed and shaped us as children and teenagers
01:00:36 All the lies that are inflicted upon us not told to us inflicted upon us. We're punished for
01:00:40 It could be the lie of parental virtue or or the benevolence of the educational system or the inevitability of environmental disaster or white guilt
01:00:49 Or like all the lies that are told to us
01:00:51 Forced upon us inflicted upon us
01:00:53 We have to shed those and it really feels like dying
01:00:56 Really feels like you're
01:01:02 Disintegrating dissolving and there's a kind of death anxiety that goes along with that
01:01:06 Which just makes perfect sense because evolutionarily speaking truth tellers didn't reproduce which is why truth tellers are kind of rare
01:01:11 We're like this weird mutant gene that society
01:01:13 pokes up every now and then
01:01:15 Right
01:01:19 So
01:01:20 Society is in a foxhole and there's snipers called propagandists around who shoot the truth tellers, right?
01:01:25 Which has been a constant fact of society ever since there was such a thing as society and probably even before
01:01:29 and so what happens is
01:01:32 Societies that get too addicted to lies die like they they die. They just completely fall apart and collapse, right?
01:01:39 So
01:01:43 The genes are like oh man. Okay, so the truth tellers are getting killed. Okay
01:01:47 it's eaves up it will ease up on the truth telling for a bit, but every now and then a truth teller is born and
01:01:52 Society lifts the truth teller up over the parapet
01:01:56 Okay, they're still snipers a truth teller still getting shot. Damn it another body on my hands. Okay, fine
01:02:02 So then we'll wait for another generation or two and throw so every now and then let's just start a random mutation
01:02:07 Of of truth tellers come up and we see if we can survive, right?
01:02:11 That's that's society
01:02:15 And
01:02:17 The truth tellers are
01:02:20 Society attempting to heal from the liars, right because the liars are driving everyone off a cliff right the liars are just
01:02:27 Keeping everybody deluded particularly about
01:02:33 Valid being valid recipients of things. They did not earn love or money or power or whatever, right? So the liars are
01:02:40 undermining and destroying society and
01:02:44 And the social body so to speak creates these antibodies called truth tellers, right?
01:02:48 We create these antibodies called truth tellers and the truth tellers go
01:02:56 at war against the liars and
01:02:59 The mob decides their fate
01:03:01 There's an old serastrian belief. I dated a girl who was a racist serastrian many years ago and the serastrian belief is that
01:03:08 The gods and the devils are in constant combat, but man decides the fate
01:03:14 like
01:03:16 The gods and the devils are in constant combat, but man decides the outcome
01:03:20 We are the tipping point. So the truth tellers and the liars are in public combat
01:03:28 You know how everyone loves these marvel movies where the devils are throwing
01:03:33 clouds of acid and robots and the good guys are throwing thunderbolts and bras or whatever
01:03:38 and so
01:03:42 And this is particularly playing out in the internet that the liars and the truth tellers
01:03:46 Are in public battle and the mob decides their fate
01:03:50 Now if you don't have the truth tellers, you don't really have any choice because nobody's countering the narrative and it just seems like reality
01:03:56 right
01:03:58 And sometimes a truth teller gets taken out and sometimes a liar
01:04:04 Gets taken out
01:04:06 But this is why now finally the mob is responsible for their fate because because of the internet the truth tellers have a prominence
01:04:12 That has never before existed
01:04:14 So really for the first time the mob has a chance to decide their fate and uh
01:04:22 I'll leave it to you to decide how they're doing in terms of deciding their fate
01:04:27 Well, you guys I think are doing the right thing. I know i'm doing the right thing
01:04:30 And of course, hopefully assuming that society doesn't go completely
01:04:35 Atomic, uh, then um the truth will you know, we'll be out there forever and and so on so
01:04:41 This is the uh
01:04:45 This is the reality and the truth tellers are allowed as long as they don't have any effect
01:04:50 Right because the truth tellers are allowed as long as they draw people into a little corner of truth
01:04:55 And they just mutter among themselves and don't have any effect
01:04:57 But with the internet truth tellers can actually have an effect on society and that's why a truth tellers get taken out
01:05:03 And all the truth tellers that remain are those who don't have much of an effect on society
01:05:07 So, yeah, I mean this is the way I view myself i'm a mutant reality gene here to test whether society can accept reason or not
01:05:16 Is society willing to give up its addiction to falsehood?
01:05:19 Well, here's someone who can tell the truth and do it in a pretty engaging and entertaining way and take on some courageous stances
01:05:25 And and so on and it's just a test, right?
01:05:27 It's just a test
01:05:31 And now people have a choice that they never had before I think sort of in the past a lot of times the mob was
01:05:36 Not really responsible for its own disasters
01:05:38 You know, how much can we really blame the mob?
01:05:41 for
01:05:43 All of the massive events of the french revolution. I mean i've got an interesting take on that which you should check out
01:05:48 um
01:05:51 You're I mean donors or subscribers here for the most part
01:05:53 So you should if you haven't listened to the french revolution stuff you should
01:05:56 but
01:05:59 Now
01:06:01 The great relief is that like the horror of philosophers in the past was watching the mob
01:06:07 dance off the cliff edge
01:06:10 through the flute pipes of the sophists
01:06:12 And and being helpless like like the times you yell in a dream that the danger's coming and nobody listens, right?
01:06:17 so in the past
01:06:20 Philosophers and there was always this I should have done more. I should have done better. I should have done bigger
01:06:24 I should have wow, right. Oh gosh, and it's a kind of personal agony because you feel responsible for every
01:06:29 Peasant shod foot that slips over the crumbling edge of the ravine into the abyss, right?
01:06:35 I should have done more now. I personally my conscience is clean on that matter. I did as much as I possibly could
01:06:40 um
01:06:42 As much as I I did the maximum right to do more and and be destroyed would not be to do any more philosophy
01:06:47 So I'm doing the maximum
01:06:49 and given that
01:06:53 Now the truth you don't need to learn ancient aramaic. You don't need to dig up the lost library of alexandria
01:06:58 you don't need to uh go and be a monk, uh, or or join the
01:07:03 inner circle of the saffron robed monks for
01:07:07 uh in in
01:07:10 Buddha land for 10 years. You don't like it's the truth is right there
01:07:14 Right there like you literally that's the great thing about cell phones. People are actually carrying the truth with them at all times
01:07:22 Everyone can hear everyone can look up everyone can have doubts and if you choose not to have doubts like the great thing is
01:07:26 That the philosophers now can finally be relieved of the burden of the masses
01:07:30 All right, so people aren't really chatting
01:07:37 So I mean maybe that's not an interesting topic to you. So i'm happy to hear
01:07:42 what
01:07:43 Would be oh say somebody says if dreams are telling me things that my conscious mind doesn't want to hear
01:07:47 Why do I almost exclusively have good and pleasant things?
01:07:50 I have maybe a single nightmare a year. Is my unconscious trying to tell me that everything is actually fine and dandy
01:07:55 I don't know
01:07:58 I don't know because I don't know the circumstances of your life
01:08:02 But
01:08:05 Do you think that I dream about doing live streams? Do you think that I dream?
01:08:09 About doing philosophy. I don't because I do that already
01:08:13 So there's a certain amount of wish fulfillment in dreams
01:08:16 And so if you're dreaming about all these wonderful things, maybe you don't have enough of them in your life
01:08:22 and your
01:08:23 Brain is trying to give you a reason to keep on living and flourishing by giving you an imaginary paradise that maybe you can't achieve
01:08:29 In your waking life, so it could be possible. I don't know because I don't know the circumstances of your life
01:08:33 So if you want to talk about it, it's been a while since we did a good old dream analysis
01:08:37 But you can of course call in at freedom.com c-a-l-l-i-n call in at freedom.com
01:08:45 Darker night. Thank you very much for finishing the future finishing the future. Yeah, I appreciate that. I was actually um,
01:08:52 uh, I listened to a little bit of the audiobook a couple of nights ago and i'm like
01:08:56 well, first of all, of course i'm always like oh my reading should have been even more naturalistic and so on but
01:09:02 When I listen to people read audiobooks
01:09:05 I think about if they were on the phone and just telling me this story and of course it's never particularly realistic
01:09:10 so i'm always kind of like
01:09:12 Should I be more naturalistic or is that going to sound too jarring like I just interrupted and i'm actually talking to you?
01:09:17 I'll take the paradise dreams any day
01:09:20 Her dreams will bug you until you change dreams will bug you until you change
01:09:29 And they can be aspirational too, of course, right?
01:09:33 I had dreams of being the drummer for queen many years ago on a big sloped amphitheater
01:09:38 Pounding out the drum beat to we will rock you
01:09:41 You
01:09:43 All right questions comments issues, let me just see I had a couple other things to make sure so mission let's see here
01:09:53 Uh, where is my feed there's my feed and what do we got here?
01:10:00 So did you know that in order to keep this is from dom lucre on x
01:10:06 Did you know that in order to keep genghis khan's burial a secret all 2 000 plus people who attended his funeral were executed?
01:10:12 The executioners were then killed by members of his escort who eventually took their own lives when they reached their destination
01:10:18 Nearly 800 years later the burial site remains undiscovered to this day
01:10:23 Isn't that wild?
01:10:26 So you attend a funeral and then you're executed that kind of blows my mind
01:10:34 That kind of blows my mind, I mean you gotta ask like how good with the canapes there
01:10:39 These shrimp are to die for
01:10:42 That band must have been incredible that you're willing to die
01:10:46 You're literally willing to die to be at the funeral like how how good
01:10:51 How pretty are the bridesmaids? That's what I want to know
01:10:54 I thought that was kind of neat that guy has some great posts
01:10:59 That guy has some great posts
01:11:01 Oh, what else here? Ah, yes, don't be like yahoo a world of engineering
01:11:05 1998 yahoo refuses to buy google for a million dollars
01:11:09 2002 yahoo realizes his mistake and tries to buy google for three billion dollars. Google says give us five billion dollars. Yahoo says no
01:11:17 2008 yahoo refuses to be sold to microsoft for 40 billion dollars
01:11:22 2016
01:11:24 Yahoo sold to verizon for 4.6 billion dollars
01:11:28 I'm, not saying it's a female ceo. I'm just saying that these aren't the wisest business decisions
01:11:32 There's a great, um, it's a great meme
01:11:35 It's a woman's shocked face when she's in the when she's in the other room waiting for you to apologize and she hears the playstation beep
01:11:42 All right, let me get your opinion on this tell me what is your what is your thoughts
01:11:54 Uh, sorry question according to your french revolution podcast the reasons for all the awful things that happened was due to a horrible childhood. No
01:12:00 No
01:12:04 In a podcast not long ago
01:12:05 You said that abandoning is the problem we have today with the young does this mean that even politics goes even if?
01:12:09 Even if politics goes really horrible, we should not expect the horror show that was in the past
01:12:13 So
01:12:17 The abandonment means that you can't stand against evil doers
01:12:21 So the future is most likely that people will just step aside when the evil doers come for the virtuous people. So
01:12:26 Uh, no, the reason for awful things that happened was due to a horrible childhood. No, no, no, come on. I mean
01:12:32 With all due respect. I'm glad that you're here
01:12:35 But that's lazy. It's really lazy
01:12:37 I don't know even know how many times i've said that a horrible childhood does not detect what happens in the future
01:12:49 Not all but most no
01:12:51 Nobody gets an excuse because of horrible childhood. Nobody
01:12:54 Nobody gets an excuse because of horrible childhood. In fact people are
01:12:59 You you absolutely can very honorably and believably make the case that people are much more responsible for providing better
01:13:06 Childhoods and more virtue if they've been the victims of evil as children
01:13:15 Stop giving the domino theory credence matt. Love you to death, but please stop it
01:13:19 I know it's tempting. Well bad things
01:13:22 Bad things did not happen because of horrible childhoods horrible childhoods happened because people didn't fix them
01:13:27 People didn't take responsibility people weren't honest with themselves people didn't the catholics
01:13:32 Right france was largely catholic
01:13:35 And catholicism says protect the children christianity says protect the children. They weren't religious enough
01:13:41 They weren't honoring their beliefs enough. They weren't nice enough to their children. They didn't deal with their own trauma
01:13:46 They didn't follow the virtues, right?
01:13:48 What does what does christianity say virtue is really really really hard because the devil runs the world
01:13:53 And people do a lot of evil things that will make you cynical and bitter and angry and you'll bring out that rage against those
01:13:59 Who are helpless when you are helpless they'll prey upon you and therefore when you get power as all parents do you'll be tempted
01:14:04 To take out your rage on your children christianity says all of these things
01:14:10 They chose not to listen they chose to do evil
01:14:13 Would it be fair to say that the french revolution was caused by unprocessed childhood trauma no
01:14:19 The french revolution was not caused by anything because everybody has a choice
01:14:26 If you say the french revolution was caused by you've got dominoes
01:14:37 Resist the domino theory the domino theory will get you
01:14:41 If you believe in proper this is why i'm sort of passionate about this if you believe in propagate the domino theory
01:14:48 You're sealing your own doom like you're sealing your own fate
01:14:51 Because the moment you say bad things were caused by childhood trauma
01:14:57 Or even bad things were caused by unprocessed childhood trauma. You're taking away moral free will from people
01:15:03 And everyone's desperate including you and me. I get all of that. Everyone's desperate to have moral free will take it away
01:15:08 Because it's really agonizing
01:15:11 To look at the world without giving people excuses. Do you know how fucking painful that is?
01:15:16 You know how painful this is why everybody avoids it. I understand it. I do it too. I'm tempted by it as well
01:15:20 To look at the world and say you chose this
01:15:24 You are 100 responsible for your world
01:15:30 You
01:15:32 No excuses
01:15:37 No excuses. And again, I can see excuses in the past the internet has irradiated excuses from the delusions of mankind
01:15:43 Well, i'm unhappy because my husband is mean to me you chose him
01:15:50 How angry do people get when you give them responsibility
01:15:54 Right. How angry do people get when you give them responsibility?
01:16:00 Manuel says I had a shitty childhood now i'm doing my best to find a good partner to build a great family with
01:16:04 I'll just about it. I'll do just about all the opposite than what my parents did to me, right?
01:16:09 So manuel you absolutely know
01:16:11 The that's why I said unprocessed childhood trauma because they didn't choose to process it. No
01:16:17 Unprocessed childhood trauma does not
01:16:20 You didn't say choose
01:16:28 And if you don't say choose everybody everybody will interpret it as deterministic and you know that come on
01:16:33 Since the default is to avoid responsibility any time. You don't say choice people assume no choice
01:16:39 So what you said was and I get you said
01:16:41 The french revolution was caused by unprocessed childhood trauma. No the french revolution if we say was caused would be caused by people
01:16:50 refusing
01:16:52 Or avoiding processing their childhood trauma choosing to unprocess to leave their childhood trauma unprocessed
01:16:58 Unprocessed
01:17:00 Childhood trauma is still a big inert mess of causality
01:17:03 Uh insomnia, yes same manuel
01:17:10 Every time I had a decision to make concerning my kids I asked myself what my parents do went ahead and did the opposite
01:17:17 I am not chatty because my name is my profile. It's very brave or stupid to express your truth in this public forum
01:17:25 I'm, not sure which
01:17:26 Oh, just change your change your profile name. It's fine
01:17:29 No, you you constantly have to
01:17:36 You constantly have to remind people of their choices
01:17:42 You and they'll hate you for it. Oh my god, they'll tell me if i'm wrong i'm wrong
01:17:48 Have you ever gone to somebody who's faffed up their life and say you chose this?
01:17:53 Matt says is the domino theory the reason why evil can continue if people didn't blame their childhood for the evil they do
01:17:58 If they didn't have the option to say hurt people hurt people the evil people would need to take responsibility for their actions
01:18:03 So the way that evil reproduces reproduces, I don't know what that means
01:18:09 Rebo man the way that evil reproduces
01:18:12 Is it gives excuses?
01:18:15 Reproduces excuses it reproduces not trauma. It reproduces excuses
01:18:21 right
01:18:22 See, this is the wild thing that people literally on my live stream when i'm a really great parent and and
01:18:28 Have overcome my childhood and in fact turned the evils of my childhood into some great virtues
01:18:34 People on my live stream will tell me that
01:18:40 Bad things happen because of a bad childhood
01:18:44 Like you understand you're goading me, right?
01:18:49 You're literally saying the exact opposite of everything that made me good to my face
01:18:52 Sorry, you know, I don't think and I don't think people are consciously being a troll that's being goaded
01:18:57 So the devil within you is trying to goad me and the virtue within you
01:19:01 Wants me to fight the devil that's goading me
01:19:04 I mean this is the mechanics right the mechanics of that are very clear and very simple that you're telling me the most appalling things
01:19:09 To the exact opposite of how every virtue in my life came about you're telling me the exact opposite of those things
01:19:14 Because you want me to take a flamethrower to your inner devil
01:19:18 Actually, maybe not a flamethrower because i'm sure he'd enjoy that like a shower, right?
01:19:23 No
01:19:28 No
01:19:30 You give people responsibility
01:19:32 They hate you
01:19:34 Which is how you know that responsibility is exactly what they need, right?
01:19:37 People who've messed up their lives are going to hate anybody who tries to fix them
01:19:40 And there's a certain point beyond which people simply cannot take responsibility
01:19:46 I
01:19:48 Mean you know this story that I remember once when I took my mom to
01:19:52 the pizza hut at the old don mills mall
01:19:55 Sitting across from her in a booth and I said the following speech. I don't know I was probably
01:20:00 Maybe
01:20:05 17
01:20:06 No, she would have been away by then. I was maybe 20
01:20:09 And I I sat to her and I said look man this this medical stuff that you're dealing with is really really tough
01:20:15 It's really tough. Um
01:20:17 It produces a lot of stress now, you you know, you say you can't do much about the medical stuff
01:20:21 I accept that but you know, there's a library like
01:20:24 Two minutes walk from here
01:20:26 Let's at least go and get some books on how to manage stress so that you can manage the stress of all of this
01:20:30 Stuff a little bit better
01:20:32 Literally, she got so angry. She ended up
01:20:34 hurling
01:20:36 the pitcher of water at me
01:20:38 I had to go home with
01:20:40 Pizza groin pizza wet pizza groin, right? Now, that's a more extreme example
01:20:45 but that's only because I was pretty consistent with my
01:20:47 Um
01:20:51 Conviction, right?
01:20:54 You give people responsibility he left me you chose a guy who left you
01:21:00 Right i'm having trouble finding a man in my 30s. Well, you rejected men in your 20s and your value is down now
01:21:13 My uh, my boyfriend doesn't pay for my child right our child my boyfriend doesn't pay for our child
01:21:18 You chose a guy who wasn't gonna like
01:21:21 You give people responsibility
01:21:24 for the most part some people
01:21:26 They um
01:21:30 They grieve they grab it greedily as a survival mechanism. I don't know exactly the mechanics of the difference
01:21:36 But you understand that the one thing
01:21:39 That can save the world is got to be what most people find most unbearable
01:21:44 right
01:21:47 If the world is sliding as it is sliding into disaster
01:21:52 then
01:21:54 it's because
01:21:55 Whatever people find the most unbearable is exactly what's needed. And of course the devil's
01:21:59 in our hearts in our minds in our souls will make that which
01:22:06 Exorcises them the most unbearable thing because it's the most unbearable thing for them, right?
01:22:11 Everyone who's in power who tells you you can't talk about this is almost always talking about the one thing that would threaten their power
01:22:17 Yeah real men would take on my three children
01:22:25 Oh, so, you know what a real quality man is so then why did you end up with three children without a without a dad
01:22:34 Women in general can't cope with rejection
01:22:36 Well, they're not really wired to cope with rejection
01:22:42 Because
01:22:45 Well, sorry
01:22:47 No, because the women all want the top tier men and they're all rejected by the top tier men
01:22:51 Women have been programmed to avoid settling
01:22:55 Without the demand to improve, right?
01:23:00 so you see this all the time some pudgy woman on social media with blue hair and weird granny glasses and
01:23:08 Misshapen tattoos that she got when she was more slender is always like if you're under six foot don't even bother, right?
01:23:13 So look, there's nothing wrong with wanting the top tier quality people at all. I think that's great
01:23:19 So you say well, I want a really really attractive partner. So then you should work on becoming really really attractive
01:23:25 Right. There's nothing wrong with wanting to make a lot of money, but then you got to provide a lot of value
01:23:30 right
01:23:32 So women are constantly being rejected
01:23:34 Because they they sex subsidize themselves higher on the
01:23:40 Attractiveness scale and then they get ghosted or rejected or spurned or whatever, right?
01:23:45 Or they're just used as a booty call or something like that, right? So women are constantly getting rejected
01:23:49 I think that's one of the reasons why they get bitter
01:23:51 at this point women can't cope with
01:23:53 Accurate status I think and men as well to some degree
01:23:58 But we're just talking about women here women can't cope with accurate status. Where do you stand on?
01:24:03 The hierarchy of attractiveness
01:24:07 Well, you're a goddess. You're beautiful. You're glorious, you know
01:24:11 In sex in the city, which had a lot to do with programming
01:24:14 women in the 90s
01:24:17 sex in the city
01:24:18 That's really sad like the women are just it's truly heartbreaking
01:24:22 It's truly
01:24:25 Heartbreaking. Yeah, they're getting rejected but look not doing well accepting it
01:24:28 No, they pursue it sorry, i'm sorry to be disagreeing with you and I could be wrong of course, but
01:24:35 Women are constantly dating men who won't commit to them. They're in pursuit of rejection
01:24:42 Because they're because the women are rejecting reality. They end up being rejected by men
01:24:47 And women are constantly I mean when you look at a woman who's got
01:24:53 A double digit body count. She's now been rejected a whole bunch of times
01:24:56 And they pursue men that they know will reject them
01:25:01 Um, if you reject reality
01:25:05 You will be rejected by everything within reality, right
01:25:10 So now women are in pursuit of rejection
01:25:13 So in in sex in the city, um, there's a sort of plot line
01:25:17 It's kind of cartoony obviously, right? So this is guy played by chris noth
01:25:22 He's literally called. Mr. Big. I don't even think he has a first name. He's just called. Mr
01:25:26 Big and they refer to him as big right? Mr. Big is like a cartoon name for a powerful man, right? Mr. Big
01:25:31 anyway, so
01:25:33 the woman carrie she's she's neurotic and
01:25:36 All she has to offer is uh, I don't know sarah jessica parker. I mean some interesting hair
01:25:43 Face is a bit too angular for my tastes
01:25:46 Um, but I guess she's very skinny
01:25:49 So she has a great body and she's willing to have a lot of sex
01:25:52 right
01:25:54 So she gets a guy she's in her 30s. She gets a guy
01:25:57 I think he's mentioned to be 42 or something and he's very good looking but he's also corrupt himself. He's had threesomes
01:26:02 He's had constant girlfriends. He won't commit. He's very opaque
01:26:05 And so she throws her body at him and he'll have a lot of sex with her and then he ends up marrying another woman
01:26:10 Right, so she's he's he's with her for two years and then he ends up marrying a 25 year old
01:26:16 model from eastern europe who's you know, pleasant submissive compliant and uh pleasant and
01:26:22 you know not
01:26:24 sex obsessed and high strung and neurotic and
01:26:26 You know kind of weird, right?
01:26:29 And honestly, it's a genuinely heartbreaking scene like it to me
01:26:32 Um when I watched it like it's like oh god, that's just about the most awful thing that for a woman
01:26:39 Because this is a brutal hierarchical
01:26:41 Flash bulb, right? Where are you in the hierarchy?
01:26:45 Where are you in the hierarchy?
01:26:49 If you can't figure that out from for men like you understand for men if you can't figure out
01:26:54 If you can't figure out where you are in the hierarchy as a man you can get killed
01:27:00 right
01:27:04 If you attempt to go too higher
01:27:07 If you attempt to go too high on the hierarchy you can get killed
01:27:17 Sarah jessica parker looks too much like dee snider from twisted sister. It's actually quite accurate
01:27:21 Quite accurate wasn't wasn't he a guy who was like get vaxxed or get gone. Anyway seems to be a common pattern
01:27:28 so
01:27:31 So she is like I can get mr. Big I can be
01:27:34 Loose I can be
01:27:37 She dresses totally slutty like belly and boobs out all the time, right?
01:27:40 So I can be slutty and and she writes a column all about sex and she doesn't really make that much money
01:27:45 And she's not particularly successful and she sleeps in till noon and she can't cook and she's got no homemaking skills
01:27:50 She'd be a I don't even know what to say. What kind of mother she would be but it would be pretty bad
01:27:54 so
01:27:57 It's got to be just about the worst thing for a woman that you you have this on again off again relationship with this guy
01:28:03 Who's really high status?
01:28:06 You know, he's tall
01:28:08 great looking
01:28:10 and
01:28:12 All kinds of wonderful stuff going on. He's wealthy confident quite charming charismatic like he's right the whole thing, right?
01:28:17 And she keeps throwing sex at him and she can get him for a small amount of time
01:28:24 By throwing a lot of sex at him
01:28:27 And so she has this on again off again relationship with him for like
01:28:31 years
01:28:33 and then he meets another woman and
01:28:35 Marries another woman within a couple of months
01:28:39 (Pause)
01:28:43 Now that's brutal
01:28:46 That's brutal
01:28:50 Bit of a tangent says james being seeing sex positive on a dating profile is a turnoff. Well sex positive means std positive
01:28:57 Two of the letters are wrong. So
01:29:01 So that's horrible so then what should happen of course is that
01:29:07 Carrie the woman in in sex in the city what she should do is she should say
01:29:11 What's wrong with me that he didn't choose me like what's wrong with me that he didn't choose me
01:29:17 Right, so he's ready to settle down and he wants the woman
01:29:21 and
01:29:23 The the woman he marries is she dresses modestly. She's pretty she's thoughtful. She's attentive. She's kind she's
01:29:30 stable, she's not neurotic, right so
01:29:34 What should happen of course is the carrie character should
01:29:38 With and we all have these things where you're like, where am I in the hierarchy?
01:29:41 I had it a couple of years ago with d platforming. Where am I in the hierarchy? Well pretty low, right?
01:29:45 so
01:29:47 You got to look at that
01:29:49 As a person as a sane human being you got to say well, I couldn't lock this guy down for two years this other woman
01:29:55 Got him to marry her in a couple of months
01:29:59 Right
01:30:01 Oh, does she have a nose ring? Does she have a nose ring? Yeah, something like that, right?
01:30:05 So that's rough man
01:30:10 That's really horrible
01:30:12 And that's a gut to the gut punch, right? You have these things in life. You just get this gut punch
01:30:17 This is where I am in the hierarchy you can't force the hierarchy, right?
01:30:22 And the new
01:30:26 Fiancee is perfectly sweet to the ex-girlfriend and very nice and invites her places and very positive and not neurotic, right?
01:30:32 So it's a very well written from that standpoint, although I don't think with an ounce of insight
01:30:36 So what should happen of course is that carrie should have
01:30:41 Like a long dark tea time with the soul and should spend a week just going like okay like I wanted this guy
01:30:47 Clearly he can commit just not to me and of course, I mean i've done this right
01:30:51 I mean I dated women sometimes for quite a while and you know
01:30:54 When I met my wife we got engaged within a couple of months and married in 11 months
01:30:57 And that's got to hurt the ex-girlfriends, right? I get that. I understand that
01:31:02 It's like if someone's miserable with you and then they go and date someone else and they're really happy like
01:31:10 Not good candy crush voice, right?
01:31:16 Now, of course what happens she should fall to the proper hierarchy, right?
01:31:22 Which is what do I have to offer except my body and she's in her 30s
01:31:24 So her body's fading right especially because she's thin right? So in your 30s women have a choice, right?
01:31:30 Good face or good figure if they have a good figure
01:31:32 They're skinny which means their face looks old and if they have a good face
01:31:35 It means they're slightly overweight and therefore they're figuring right in 20s good face good figure. No problem in 30s
01:31:40 It's good face or good figure. You do that's it, right?
01:31:43 Uh, you take a woman in her mid 30s who's really skinny out into the sunlight make her laugh
01:31:49 Like I look okay on this camera, right? But when i'm out doing my outdoor walkie chats and I laugh like
01:31:54 crater face, right?
01:31:56 like
01:31:58 It's just natural right and my skin's fairly good for my age, but you know out in the sun
01:32:03 Right. This is what they talk about. Mitch talks about this with branch dubois and streetcar named desire
01:32:08 Like I never see you in daytime. I never it's always evening
01:32:10 It's always got these stupid lights with these these chinese lights with these wraps around them, right?
01:32:14 Angela and dave from tgoa. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
01:32:18 Yeah
01:32:20 From that over tanned raisin you call a heart
01:32:23 He has the best insults
01:32:26 Um, I get that from my brother. He's fantastic at insulting people
01:32:29 Mr. Big does choose her in the end. I think you're right philosophically, but in the fiction he ends up paying her debt and buying
01:32:38 Them this lavish new york city apartment. Did you just spoil her the whole series?
01:32:42 I never watched it till the end the moral of the story was that he truly loved her despite her failings. No
01:32:47 That's why it's the fiction in the fiction. He ends up paying her debts
01:32:50 Then buying them this lavish new york city apartment. So the guy who wants to settle down
01:32:54 I've heard guys say is she a day walker? Oh a day walker. Is that a zombie who can't be out in sunlight? Um
01:33:04 So no, uh, that's a um, that is a complete fiction
01:33:10 Right because what if he didn't want her when she was in her early to mid 30s
01:33:14 And the show ran what six seasons then she's 40, right? And so are you saying that she's 40? She's more used up
01:33:21 She's more traumatized. She's more neurotic. She's infertile probably and that's when he decides to commit to her like, come on
01:33:28 So anyway, the the carry she she's getting a wake-up call and the wake-up call is this
01:33:33 He wouldn't marry me, but he's marrying this other woman. That's the wake-up call
01:33:36 right now
01:33:43 What is
01:33:45 The reaction of her friends
01:33:47 Right her friends all
01:33:50 Keep her away from the wake-up call
01:33:53 Right carrie's friends. This is okay. It's a show. I get that but it's a very popular show
01:33:57 and I don't think people see it for what it is personally, but
01:34:00 Carrie's friends are all like, oh, what does she got? You know, you're smarter. You're funnier. You're sexier
01:34:07 You're you've got more going on. You actually have a job, you know, you you're you're the coolest
01:34:11 You're like they just pump up her ego, right? So her ego gets a reality check
01:34:16 about her status, right
01:34:19 because she's
01:34:21 This is the life of perpetual immaturity, right?
01:34:23 So carrie gets a reality check as to her status and her friends are desperate to try and raise her status back up to that
01:34:30 which failed
01:34:32 Right, so you were overconfident. You thought you could get this guy. He chose someone else. So then her
01:34:36 self-esteem goes down rationally as it should
01:34:40 and then
01:34:42 and then
01:34:44 Her friends quote friends, they're all codependent enablers suicidal
01:34:48 Egg destroyers, but her friends then try to pump her ego back up to the place where she failed
01:34:55 Which is you know, if you're not that great a singer and you keep losing singing competitions and your friends all say no
01:35:01 You're a great singer. They're perpetuating your failure
01:35:05 Yeah, she spends all her dollars on clothing no she's investing in slut wear in the hopes of getting a millionaire
01:35:11 It's an investment
01:35:16 She's she's going all in on her looks as my mother did and I mean it's a complete disaster
01:35:21 You hit 40 and it's game over
01:35:24 I mean statistically some of the most miserable women in the world are 42 year old single women who are professionals
01:35:31 You
01:35:33 So, yeah, it's rough it's rough
01:35:38 Yeah, so they're all trying to trap her in this world of failure
01:35:43 Because if any of them genuinely succeed it will cause rage from the others, right?
01:35:48 I wanted to date a girl who told me she's not ready to date because she's still processing her last breakup a few days later
01:35:55 I found out she was chasing another guy. Yeah
01:35:57 um, well
01:36:00 Yeah
01:36:02 Alcoholics make alcoholics sluts make sluts. Did somebody order dominoes again? Oh, that's funny. That's got to become a catchphrase. That's brilliant. Well, then
01:36:09 All right, any last tips?
01:36:12 for
01:36:13 Victorious hard-working sunday philosopher. I got a sunday kind of wisdom love any last tips for
01:36:19 What i'm doing I am going to get back into reading
01:36:23 the
01:36:25 Peaceful parenting book I will get back into that
01:36:27 I promise
01:36:29 It will be soon
01:36:31 It will be soon
01:36:33 But I'll just wait you can tip on the app you can go to freedom.com/donate
01:36:38 Help out the show from there. I would really really appreciate that. It was a a wee smidge dry last month
01:36:44 but uh, I blame myself
01:36:47 I blame
01:36:49 myself
01:36:51 All right, I blame myself I take responsibility
01:36:54 pour moi
01:36:56 And thanks again, uh to the person who started off the tipping that was really really kind. Thank you again matt that is
01:37:03 I'm not ready as code for you're not good enough to be ready for no i'm not ready is I think I can do better
01:37:10 Right, and there's nothing wrong with I think I can do better. Sure
01:37:15 But you gotta earn doing better, right? You gotta earn doing better
01:37:22 I mean when I was younger, I sort of bought into the lie that women want resources and I thought I would get more attractive
01:37:28 women
01:37:29 when I made more money, but um
01:37:31 That really wasn't the case
01:37:35 I mean when I met my wife, I wasn't working at all except on books. It's kind of funny, right?
01:37:42 It's kind of funny. A lot of these theories don't really play out that well
01:37:45 I think that they work evolutionarily speaking, but they don't work with the artificial
01:37:49 State situation right people trying to analyze men and women these days. It's like a biologist trying to analyze
01:37:54 The natural habits of animals who were in a zoo, right?
01:37:57 Uh, I recall meeting this 40 year old barbie who owned two condos in vancouver and had a great career
01:38:05 But she couldn't pick a partner. She wanted kids but was so picky. She just couldn't settle for one
01:38:09 She had frozen her eggs some years before but they were about to expire. It was sad to see
01:38:13 If they don't want resources, what?
01:38:16 Did they want?
01:38:19 Um, well they wanted pretty boys
01:38:21 I was a pretty boy when I was younger, but I wasn't a pretty boy after about the age of 25
01:38:25 So they wanted to they wanted pretty boys. Yeah, for sure
01:38:28 for sure
01:38:31 But they don't need resources
01:38:33 Because they can get their resources from the state or from men or divorce or whatever it is, right?
01:38:37 So they don't need resources. They don't need to provide quality to get resources
01:38:40 They just need to provide votes or sex or lawyers
01:38:43 henry cavill
01:38:47 Now he's a guy who's having trouble settling settling down right and he's wealthy and I mean fantastically handsome, I mean
01:38:53 He's no
01:38:58 Original superman, but
01:39:00 I make like seven times the average man, but I feel like it's not the best to display
01:39:06 Well, most people who have money don't display it, right?
01:39:09 I don't understand the point of men going above their level in hierarchy can end up dead
01:39:14 Can you elaborate? Well, sure if you I mean you look at apes, right?
01:39:17 If if a young ape challenges a stronger older eight the older eight can beat the crap out of him and possibly kill him
01:39:23 And if you go too much up in the hierarchy
01:39:27 You start to compete with the aristocrats the aristocrats can get just get you killed, right?
01:39:31 Yeah display is tough right display is tough it's hard to you know
01:39:42 For women if you have a great figure you don't want to put it on full display, right?
01:39:45 But at the same time you don't want to wear, you know full tent, right so it's tough
01:39:50 It's tough to figure out man
01:39:53 Men are just an accessory or source of fun for careerist women
01:39:56 Well, so I mean it's one of the fundamental things
01:40:00 Which I remember learning in my 20s like okay, they're just not like me women are just not like me
01:40:05 So one of the things that happens of course is that women who want a smart successful ambitious aggressive guy
01:40:12 Think that men want the same like nope
01:40:15 No
01:40:17 And men who want a sort of sensitive emotional bonded
01:40:21 Accessible woman think that women want the same. It's like nope
01:40:24 Nope. Thanks. David. I really I really appreciate that. So no, um thinking that
01:40:32 What you want in this woman what you want in a woman is what a woman wants in you
01:40:36 Is not non-valid
01:40:39 I mean, it's literally like saying women want a penis. Therefore. I want a penis, right?
01:40:43 I mean, it's not not the way it works. I mean, maybe if that's what works for you, but uh, no
01:40:47 It's not women want things kind of different, right?
01:40:49 Uh, so many modern men require that a woman have a career to pay half the bills while their kids are in daycare and school
01:40:55 Systems, it's very common here in vancouver. Yeah
01:41:00 Cancelling is how they kill you first nowadays. Yes. Yes. Yes
01:41:04 Um
01:41:08 Back in 2017 I was at a christmas party for a big crypto exchange in san francisco
01:41:13 I'll never forget a woman probably in her 40s trying to signal money sex and success to me
01:41:17 And dripping with a deep deep desperation. Oh, it's horrible
01:41:20 everybody's met those older weathered women who are just desperate and and
01:41:27 It's it's it's appalling because they're doing all the wrong things and really there's no right things to do anymore
01:41:32 Right for a woman like son once you get into your 40s assuming that the man wants
01:41:36 Uh kids or a homemaker or something like that and most successful men do right because a woman wants a successful man
01:41:41 Who already has money? Why would he want the woman to have money?
01:41:43 So, yeah, they're doing all the wrong stuff and it's just uh, it's just terrible just terrible
01:41:48 Because there's no right stuff left to do
01:41:53 Because a man who like a man who wants a family is just not going to choose a woman in her 40s
01:41:57 He's not going to choose a woman in her mid to late 30s. Usually
01:41:59 My hierarchy has slipped at 57
01:42:03 As we speak working to gain a point back. I got 7 000 steps while listening last wednesday. Well paula
01:42:09 I think you look great. But uh, um, my hierarchy has slipped at 57 too. I don't get uh,
01:42:14 I don't get I don't get the looks that I used to get of course, right?
01:42:17 I mean, it's natural women have a radar for these things and i'm now at the point where
01:42:21 I might not live I might not survive the birth of a child to maturity, right?
01:42:25 Right because I would be 75 if I had a child now to get to 18, right?
01:42:30 I might not right
01:42:33 A 40 year old woman approached me at the gym. She had it all out with one of those waist squeezes that crushed the ribs
01:42:38 Oh, yeah. No, it's like, um, I remember a tom like a show from many years ago where the woman was like
01:42:43 She's like, I don't know. She was 15
01:42:44 She's like I want to date a guy and like I have my own house
01:42:47 It's paid off and he's like why would a man care about that?
01:42:50 Right
01:42:51 Have you ever discussed a bezos and laura? Oh jeff bezos
01:42:54 Well, of course most of the rich almost all the rich women got there through inheritance or divorce
01:42:59 Very few of them earned it
01:43:01 If any I think any of them earn it probably not
01:43:04 Yeah, it's just it's really it's really sad to
01:43:07 For somebody to be flogging goods after their best buy date
01:43:12 Uh is really tough I had a harsh phrase from a fairly bad character in the god of atheists talking about
01:43:20 Uh older women playing hard to get and it's like the phrase was the intense guarding of food long rotted
01:43:25 Tom lycus was pro vax
01:43:29 really
01:43:31 Well, I mean wasn't he a very it was like he wasn't he north of 300 pounds
01:43:35 So maybe it was more important for him. I don't know
01:43:37 Uh, let's see here. She was tall and blonde and attractive but good luck with kids and at that age
01:43:42 How much self-knowledge is she going to be willing to gain?
01:43:44 Yeah
01:43:47 I feel like what's sad is seeing a woman who has had who has it all who just never chose a guy to settle down
01:43:52 With it's perplexing. No, it's not. It's not perplexing. They just she just aimed too high
01:43:55 You just aimed too high
01:43:58 Tom lycus would be liberal because he um, wasn't he really partial to
01:44:01 Um, what hispanic women or something like that?
01:44:04 So so he would want liberal policies so that he could continue to have sex with a lot of women
01:44:09 Uh so that they wouldn't settle down
01:44:12 Right before menopause some women get sexually aggressive last gasp with their eggs. Yeah
01:44:16 It's also wild to me that older women. Um just won't compromise
01:44:20 Right. I mean men we have to learn how to compromise in terms of like well
01:44:24 I really want to get this job, but I can't get this job
01:44:26 so i'll take this job and if I can't get like I was, you know, even when I had a
01:44:30 Bachelor's degree I was like weeding gardens and washing cars if because it was a big recession
01:44:35 I couldn't get a decent job. So you just take what you can get
01:44:43 Also tom lycus not a philosopher he's he's an interesting guy and had some smart stuff smart stuff to say but not a philosopher
01:44:49 So I am what's surprising to me is a man
01:44:52 He's like i'm willing to starve to death rather than do a job that's beneath me, right?
01:44:56 That's that's how it is with a lot of women, right?
01:44:58 He lost a lot of weight. He still looks terrible
01:45:01 well, I mean he probably was overweight for so long that
01:45:04 So
01:45:08 Yeah, man, we just like we settle we have to settle we have to settle
01:45:13 Man's got to eat right? Like you don't have a lot of pride if your kids are hungry and you need a job, right?
01:45:17 So i've just taken all kinds of jobs odd jobs
01:45:20 you know, I remember spending a long weekend moving furniture into
01:45:24 Setting up partitions and moving furniture into an office building and you know shredded my hands to hell
01:45:29 Couldn't make a fist for like a week
01:45:32 And yeah, you just do what you need to do, right?
01:45:36 Well, so for a woman who's like, I don't know she's 38 and she's desperate to settle down
01:45:40 It's like so you should be as nice and positive as possible, but they're still like brittle and standards and it's like, okay
01:45:45 You know, I can't I can't even right
01:45:49 All right
01:45:51 It's sad to see these men and women who never create a family and spend their old age and memories and hopes of what could
01:45:55 Have been
01:45:56 Well, there's no hopes of what could have been
01:45:58 Were you a computer programmer already when you got the odd job during the recession?
01:46:02 Then when I knew how to program computers, but I had no experience in the workforce doing that. No
01:46:06 Uh
01:46:10 Yeah
01:46:12 Yeah, now you have to be realistic about what you can get and telling women not to settle is a fundamental depopulation agenda
