00:00Hey, everybody, hope you're doing well.
00:02Been a while, but I thought I would dip in and give y'all a little social media stuff,
00:06some of the stuff I've bookmarked, which I think is kind of neat and cool.
00:10First one!
00:11Here's one of the most fascinating child development videos says this guy I've ever shared.
00:16As your baby learns language, they begin by approximating the examples you set.
00:19After a period of early experimentation with sound, including cries, coos, and gurgles,
00:23infants begin babbling, making speech-like sounds, which often include components of
00:26conventional speech that are, nonetheless, not yet conventionally meaningful.
00:30Anyway, so this is really neat.
00:36So let's look at this baby sign language with grandma and grandpa.
00:44And the baby is gesturing in sign language, so it's kind of like babbling in sign language.
00:50I'm fascinated to hear what you talk about.
00:53Wow.
00:56Wow.
00:58And there's this eagerness, look at that, eagerness and love of communication.
01:03She's telling us all about her busy day, expressing it all.
01:06I don't obviously do sign language, but I'm sure something has something to do with it.
01:09You had a very long nap today.
01:10Did you have good dreams?
01:13And of course, babies have more control over their hands than they have over their tongues
01:18and mouths.
01:20So, yes, we're curious, and there's a back and forth, and there's a gesturing.
01:25I mean, babies are just incredible.
01:27They are just absolute machines.
01:29Babies, it's the most brilliant phase of all.
01:33You're learning a whole new language, learning how to use your body, learning how to socialize,
01:36learning how to empathize.
01:37It's just amazing.
01:40And that people neglect and hit and the kids, it just amazes me.
01:47So, yeah, it's just amazing.
01:52It's just incredible.
01:53Babies are just amazing.
01:55All right.
01:56So, let us move on from the sublime to the ridiculous.
02:02I think this is the other truth.
02:04In a way, I've had this experience.
02:06Date a girl who wears glasses.
02:08It's like dating two girls when she takes them off.
02:10Wash off her makeup, and then you date three girls.
02:12Remove her Instagram filter, and you get to date four girls.
02:14Take her meds away, and you could have up to ten.
02:16I think that's funny.
02:19I think that's funny.
02:20All right.
02:232024 record coral cover for the Great Barrier Reef.
02:27So, the reason, of course, that I'm talking about this is many years ago, I did an interview with a fellow.
02:32I think he was an oceanographer.
02:34Actually, I did it with Bjorn Lomborg, and also did an interview with the guy who studied the Great Barrier Reef,
02:40and said it was more and more and more.
02:42And so, it turns out that that is the case.
02:44All right.
02:47So, I thought this was interesting.
02:51Partisan shift.
02:52So, a lot of people kind of get that the Republican-Democrat split really began to widen not too, too long ago.
03:01So, 2014, 2016.
03:03And so, a percent of Republicans and Democrats aged 18 to 55 who say having an extramarital affair is always wrong.
03:09And they tracked fairly close.
03:12And what has happened since 2014 is it's just kind of nuts.
03:19It's sort of in the way that once there was full legal and economic equality, plus the welfare state for Japanese women,
03:26a birth rate began to decline.
03:27Like, literally, the next year, birth rate began to really crater.
03:30It's just kind of interesting.
03:32Democrats are about one-third more likely than Republicans report having sex with someone besides their spouse.
03:39And this is pretty wild, right?
03:42And whether it controls for straight or gay, I'm not entirely sure.
03:46But this is sort of the risk factor that you're looking at.
03:50All right.
03:51So, I thought that was interesting.
03:54How many units of Botox do you have?
03:56Do I really have to answer how old I am?
03:58Yes.
03:5941.
04:0132 units.
04:02Emma, how old are you?
04:0322.
04:04How many units of Botox do you have?
04:0632.
04:07Jodi, how old are you?
04:0855.
04:09And how many units of Botox do you have?
04:1064.
04:11Lauren, how old are you?
04:1224.
04:13And how many units of Botox do you have?
04:15I have 104.
04:16I have 40 in my masseters and 64 in my face.
04:19Jess, how old are you?
04:20I'm 34.
04:21And how many units of Botox do you have?
04:23I have 34 units.
04:25Dr. Chris, how old are you?
04:2644.
04:27And how many units of Botox do you have?
04:2976.
04:31Kyla, how old are you?
04:3234.
04:33And how many units of Botox do you have?
04:35I have 28 in my face and I have 25 in each of my trapezius muscles to help with migraines.
04:42Devany, how old are you?
04:4324.
04:44And how many units of Botox do you have?
04:4560.
04:47Kristen, how old are you?
04:49I'm 49.
04:50And how many units of Botox do you have?
04:51I have 56.
04:53Robyn, how old are you?
04:5455.
04:55And how many units of Botox do you have?
04:5750 units.
04:58Courtney, how old are you?
05:0033.
05:01And how many units of Botox do you have?
05:03128.
05:04Where do you have that?
05:06Everywhere.
05:08So, of course this is not representational.
05:12Of course it's not representational because these are people who work in sort of a wellness center and I assume some sort of beauty center and so on.
05:21And yeah, this girl's 23.
05:23Isn't that wild?
05:25That's just wild as a whole.
05:28So, a lot of fakeness going on.
05:30And you are saying that your natural self is ugly.
05:34Your natural self is ugly.
05:37All right.
05:40So, normalize leaving when dudes are shitty.
05:43So, hang on.
05:44So, this is a date.
05:46Woman's fairly attractive.
05:52So, it's okay for men to have a high body count but not for women?
05:58Okay.
05:59So, you have to look at how, and of course this is probably made up nonsense, but I'm sure these interactions happen.
06:05You have to look at how this woman debates.
06:08Now, this is not, of course, representative of all women, but it's also not the opposite of that either, right?
06:13So, he says when a woman gives herself away to multiple men, that's bad.
06:19And then she says, so let me just make sure I get what she says correctly.
06:23It's okay for...
06:24For men to have a high body count but not for women.
06:28And she just has that sort of bored, okay, you know, and the look on her face.
06:32For men to have a high body count but not for women.
06:36A man's body count doesn't matter because, like, God created men to populate the earth.
06:40It's like, if you get pregnant...
06:42Now, did you see her face when the word God was mentioned?
06:46So, he's saying a man's body count...
06:49Look, we generally think that that which is harder and of value is more admirable, right?
06:59So, if an adult male is able to, I don't know, bench press 100 pounds, we don't consider that to be particularly impressive, right?
07:09But if a five-year-old kid is able to do that, well, that's really impressive, right?
07:14If an adult can play chopsticks on the piano, who cares?
07:18But if a kid who's, like, I don't know, 14 months old plays chopsticks, that's kind of cool.
07:23So, that which is more unusual and more difficult.
07:26For an attractive woman to have a high body count is the easiest thing in the world.
07:29For an attractive man to have a high body count is not easy at all.
07:33And therefore, we don't admire the woman's ability to have sex.
07:40I mean, they've done these studies, right?
07:41Like, where women go up to approach...
07:43An attractive woman is paid to go up and approach men in a hotel bar and try and have sex with them right away.
07:48And, you know, significant proportions say yes.
07:50If you reverse the genders, it's not the case.
07:53Right?
07:54So, she's just giving you this look of scorn and sarcasm and so on.
07:58And so, he's being honest about his opinions.
08:00Obviously, she's not being honest about her appearance.
08:02Her hair is dyed.
08:04Her lips are glossed.
08:05The makeup, the eyebrow plucking, the...
08:09I don't know if there's a boob job in there.
08:11And the false eyelashes and so on.
08:13So, he's being honest about his perspectives and opinions.
08:16And she is not being honest about his... her appearance.
08:20But...
08:21Oh, that's like a year.
08:22You can only have one kid.
08:23But biologically, we're wired to spread our seed.
08:25So, it's just... it's just different.
08:27But, yeah.
08:29Okay.
08:30So, he's making an argument.
08:32Right?
08:33And the argument, of course, is asymmetry in investment in children.
08:36So, men, of course, are wired to repopulate in the event of war, hunting accidents, and so on.
08:43And so, women have to bring the child to term.
08:45That takes them out.
08:46Right?
08:47But a man can have...
08:48A man can impregnate several women a day, whereas women have a massive investment in their offspring.
08:56And so, that's his argument.
08:59Now, you know, we can sort of go back and forth on it and so on.
09:02But that's...
09:03So, he's making a case here.
09:04Right?
09:05A high-value woman saves herself because no guy wants to settle down with someone that's been run through.
09:10Okay.
09:11That seems like a super backwards double standard, don't you think?
09:15Like...
09:16Okay.
09:17So, just saying it's a double standard is not an argument.
09:20Of course, it's a double standard.
09:22Right?
09:23Right?
09:24But if a man showed up with earrings and necklace, lip gloss, makeup, eyebrow plucking, then she would say there's something wrong with this guy.
09:32Oh, so, isn't it totally like a double standard that men can not wear makeup, but women can wear makeup?
09:38Right?
09:39I mean, that would just be bizarre.
09:40Right?
09:41If a man showed up in the dress that she was wearing, she probably would find that odd and probably not particularly want to date him.
09:48Right?
09:49Well, isn't that just like a double standard that women can wear low-cut red dresses, but men can't?
09:53Like, of course, there's double standards.
09:55Because men and women are different.
09:56So, of course, there's double standards.
09:58If a woman is asked to pay for the entire date, she's going to find that usually off-putting.
10:04Right?
10:05Oh, so, men are expected to pay for dates, but women aren't.
10:07It's like, of course, there's a double standard.
10:09She's relying on this double standard to present herself in the attractive way that she's presenting herself.
10:14It's not my type, but I understand that she's attractive.
10:17So, saying that there's a double standard is hilarious.
10:20Women, of course, completely rely on the double standard for things like the draft.
10:24Right?
10:25Oh, men can get drafted.
10:26Women, no.
10:27I guess that's changing now.
10:28But, yeah.
10:29So, the idea that there's some different standard for men and women is wild to me, because women leverage this double standard all the time.
10:36And there's nothing wrong with that.
10:37But then to deny that there can ever be a double standard is funny.
10:40Like, why would a girl want a guy that has a high body count if that guy doesn't want a girl?
10:46No.
10:47Not really.
10:48I mean, it's just the reality.
10:49Like, that's the way things have always been.
10:51All this stuff about feminism, being free with your body, is such bullshit.
10:55It's not empowering.
10:56It's just encouraging women to degrade themselves.
10:58And then they wonder why they're still single.
11:02I'm gonna go.
11:03Okay.
11:04So, now she's offended and upset.
11:06So, she's just making an appeal to a double standard, which she's fully admitted.
11:09And now she's upset.
11:11Now, of course, this is a woman.
11:12She looks to be about 35.
11:14It's always tough to tell with that spatula whack of makeup on.
11:17But it is a woman in her 30s who's obviously single and has been unable to settle down, and we assume has a high body count.
11:24So, it's offensive, right?
11:26So, this is why she's single.
11:27Rather than saying, well, this is a challenging perspective for me.
11:30I don't particularly like it, but tell me more, right?
11:33This is why, I don't know, people are so fragile when they hit opposing opinions or things that upset them.
11:38I mean, just find out and ask and be in question.
11:42And maybe the guy is a total nut job and a nasty basket case or whatever, but not yet.
11:47Because, like, everything you just said was offensive.
11:49But, yeah.
11:52I mean, everything I've said is 100% true.
11:54And if you didn't have a high body count, you wouldn't be offended.
11:57Excuse me?
11:58And now she's even more offended.
12:00I mean, why else would you be defensive right now?
12:01Men and women sleeping with people is different.
12:03That's just facts.
12:04Okay.
12:05Good luck with the apps and stuff.
12:07I'm gonna go.
12:10Right.
12:11So, what was it somebody said recently?
12:14That people who are dating who are older must look at the next generation and feel like they got the last chopper out of Nam, right?
12:25So, double standard, right?
12:28So, girl won't let her dad walk her down the aisle because she's a strong, independent woman.
12:31Dad refuses to pay for the wedding.
12:33Naturally, she complains about it on TikTok, right?
12:37So, yeah.
12:38Of course, right?
12:39I don't need no man.
12:40So, then it's like, okay, I will respect your beliefs and I won't corrupt your feminism by paying for your wedding.
12:45And now she's really upset.
12:47Double standard, right?
12:49Okay.
12:50Here's the big one that I wanted to get to.
12:52All right.
12:53So, there is a chimp here, this young chimp.
12:57He's at the zoo and he's throwing rocks at people, right?
13:02So, just look here, right in the middle.
13:04He's picking up rocks and he's throwing rocks at people.
13:07His mother then notices.
13:09Hostile chimp.
13:10Right?
13:11His mother notices he's doing that and whacks him.
13:17Watch that again.
13:18This is important.
13:19Throwing a rock or two, he's bored, right?
13:22Hostile chimp.
13:24Hostile chimp.
13:25Mother whacks him, obviously, with a reed or something, right?
13:30So, why is this important?
13:32Well, it's important because if you were hitting your kids, you're literally, literally, in this case, you are parenting like a chimpanzee.
13:42You are parenting like an ape.
13:45And that's just important to remember.
13:48If you're hitting your kids, you are parenting like a freaking ape.
13:53You are an animal.
13:55All right.
13:56Without the excuse, right?
13:58If you chose random groups of poor people, gave each of them a million dollars, how many of them would still have money a year later?
14:03How many would still be alive?
14:05We run this experiment all the time.
14:06Someone says nearly one-third of lottery winners eventually go bankrupt within three to five years, which is more likely than the average American.
14:12So, yes.
14:14Okay.
14:20Okay.
14:21Sorry.
14:22Please stop auto-playing.
14:23And I apologize for her voice.
14:24It's a little bit like nails on a chalkboard.
14:28You know, honestly, I think probably one of the hardest parts about my marriage is that I'm a little bit of a conspiracy theorist.
14:34Call me a conspiracy theorist or a truth seeker, whatever you want to call it.
14:39I like to chase rabbits.
14:41Okay.
14:42I like to go down the rabbit hole.
14:44Call me Alice in Wonderland.
14:46My husband, on the other hand, is the most practical and mundane human being.
14:52If it ain't right in front of him directly affecting him, he ain't worried about it.
14:57Okay.
14:58It's either black or white.
14:59There is no gray area.
15:00He doesn't care about the gray area.
15:02So, I wanted to play this because there are a lot of guys who are like, oh, women are such normies.
15:06They're such leftists and so on.
15:08But in a lot of the people that I know, it's the woman who is more skeptical of the narrative and so on.
15:13Right.
15:14So, it's just it can be a little bit of a cliche that has a lot of exceptions.
15:17Even if it exists.
15:19And granted, he does indulge me.
15:22Okay.
15:23If I take part in an 18-segment TikTok documentary about some weird thing that has piqued my interest,
15:32he will indulge me and listen to everything that I have to say.
15:37But when I'm done spilling my guts about this thing that has altered my brain chemistry and become a new part of my personality,
15:45he just looks at me like, that's nice, Lydia.
15:49Like, dude, I need you to get riled up about this.
15:52Like, I need you to get riled up about this stuff.
15:56And he's just not going to.
16:00Yeah.
16:01So, that's important as well.
16:02So, sometimes men are frustrated because women seem like more normies and so on.
16:08But it actually does work the other way.
16:10All right.
16:11So, how much do these Tudors girls make, right?
16:17I feel like Portrait was invented so that women could show their cleavage.
16:20Because men are fine with landscape to show their delts.
16:23Anyway, so, here we go.
16:25Sorry for the audio quality.
16:27This woman makes a Thursday morning is a British girl in Little Beach.
16:31Y'all, it is 1 p.m. pretty much.
16:33And I've had one table.
16:34But I made $11.
16:35I made $132-ish.
16:37A second table left me $10.
16:39I made $29 tickets.
16:41It's so slow!
16:43I've got three tables.
16:44Then it is 2 p.m.
16:45So, my third table left me $15 on 73.
16:49Table number 420 on 75.
16:52Okay, y'all.
16:53It is 4 p.m.
16:54And my fifth table left me $25 on 211.
16:57I'm supposed to get cut at 430.
16:59And I'm next for a table.
17:00But I don't think anyone else is going to come in straight in.
17:03Okay.
17:04I did end up getting one more table.
17:06So, I had six tables total.
17:07And after my tip-out, I made $86.
17:12That's the thing about working at Myrtle.
17:14It's going to be really hit or miss.
17:15So, some days you're going to be bankrolling and some days you're going to be broke.
17:18It was a broke day.
17:19But it's okay.
17:20We'll try again Sunday.
17:21All right.
17:22So, this is kind of funny, right?
17:24So, women monetizing their sexuality.
17:26Let me just pause that.
17:27Women monetizing their sexuality.
17:30There is no better way to monetize your sexuality, ladies, than to get married.
17:35Right?
17:36Because then the man is going to work super hard.
17:39And you're going to end up with—you and the kids are going to end up taking 90% of his paycheck.
17:43You know, if you're lucky to get a 15% tip, how about 90% not just on a tip, but everything?
17:48Right?
17:49So, there's no better way to monetize sexuality for women than to get married.
17:52With the exception, of course, that there are occasionally women who can monetize their
17:57sexuality and make millions.
17:59But that is very, very much the exception.
18:03So, just wanted to point that out.
18:06That all of this, you know, pop cleavage, heavy makeup stuff, half-slutting for money,
18:12it doesn't make you much relative to simply getting married and having a steady sexual
18:17partner and being a great companion and wife.
18:21That is going to make you millions of dollars, whereas all of this is kind of pathetic, right?
18:26So, these guys woke up after partying all night.
18:33They woke up in a boat.
18:35And there is—there is what?
18:41He wakes up finally, and there's a gator in the boat who decides to get out.
18:48And I think it's actually—Florida is its own country, right?
18:54All right.
18:55Husbands who do household labor have less sex.
18:59So, that is true.
19:00That is true.
19:01What is it?
19:02Scott Adams, he's kind of cynical.
19:03I guess he got divorced.
19:05The woman left him after he took the vax for her.
19:08LOL and whatever you do, don't share your quote feelings while doing it.
19:11But yes, so women obviously want—a lot of women claim that they want men to do housework,
19:17but then they—like Fifty Shades of Grey, there's no guy doing housework, right?
19:23There's no—like, when you look at what women buy in terms of romance novels, the guy's
19:28never doing housework, right?
19:30So, it is just a test.
19:33There are some women—of course there's men too, right?
19:34But there are some women who like to complain, and if you take their complaints seriously,
19:38they will lose respect for you.
19:40So, sometimes women just need to vent, they need to complain, and then they just need
19:43to move on.
19:44But if you look at Twilight, I mean, how often does the vampire do the dishes or iron?
19:50Like, it's just not attractive.
19:52It's just not appealing.
19:54So, it's a funny thing that women do, which is that they say they want you to do something,
19:58and they lose respect for you if you do it.
20:01So, just be honest, right?
20:04Just don't be—just be honest.
20:06Be honest and say no.
20:08All right.
20:10All right.
20:12If you're not getting knocked up, you're a loser.
20:14Stupid motherfuckers out there.
20:15Sorry for the language.
20:16Hey, America.
20:17Hey, people not having kids.
20:19You are some stupid motherfuckers out there.
20:21The birth rate is declining, and what are you doing?
20:24You're getting married.
20:25Like, why even bother fucking getting married, you loser?
20:28You're getting married.
20:29You have some fucking dog in a stroller like a faggot, and then what are you doing?
20:34How are you helping America?
20:36We're letting the birth rates decline, and I'm speaking particularly to white people.
20:41So, today, I want you to take the time out of your day to thank a single mom,
20:44because us girls getting knocked up, we're the only ones helping with the declining birth rate.
20:48You're welcome, America.
20:49You're fucking welcome.
20:50Gah.
20:51Oof.
20:52I mean, that's coarse and harsh and bigoted and all of that.
20:55But that's not the answer.
21:00That's not the answer, because the single mothers tend to give, like,
21:03why is birth rate declining and accelerating in a lot of ways?
21:06Because single mothers raise men who don't want to become fathers.
21:09How could they?
21:10Right?
21:11I mean, if you raise a son without a father, then he's got to learn how to be a man from where, right?
21:18It's going to get propagandized and programmed and so on.
21:20So, how many people, if they're not raised speaking Japanese, end up learning Japanese?
21:25Well, very few.
21:26Right?
21:27Very few.
21:28So, the problem is, with single mothers, you might get a smaller spike in the birth rate,
21:32and you can see this coarseness and bigotry and so on, right?
21:35But what happens is, they raise, like, I'm trying to think of the, I mean, of course,
21:40I grew up with a whole bunch of sons of single mothers.
21:43I'm married and have kids, but most of them are not.
21:46Most of them did not get married and have kids.
21:48So, you get a smaller spike in the birth rate, but it completely tails off.
21:51Why is the birth rate going down?
21:53Well, because a lot of times, women would rather be wooed than have children.
21:58Right?
21:59So, being wooed is fun.
22:00Having children is hard work, and most people prefer fun to hard work.
22:04So, with single mothers, you'll get some more kids, but in general, the women don't want to settle down,
22:12because they see their mother struggling, and the men don't want to settle down,
22:15the sons of single mothers, because they've grown up without a father and don't know how to act in that way.
22:21All right.
22:22This is kind of funny.
22:24I like the game Settlers of Catan.
22:25Somebody said, sociopath behavior.
22:27I went to a party last night, and as it started winding down,
22:29a dude guilt-tripped a bunch of us into playing a light, quick game of Settlers of Catan.
22:33It's a really fun game.
22:34All right.
22:35Are you prepared to challenge everything you know?
22:37I'm about to reveal 21 facts that will turn your world upside down.
22:41One, if sound could travel through space, the roar of the sun would be deafening,
22:48even though it's 93 million miles away.
22:53Two, crows possess intelligence comparable to a seven-year-old human child.
22:57They can recognize faces, craft tools, use currency amongst themselves, comprehend physics, and are self-aware.
23:02Crows have been observed dropping walnuts at intersections for cars to crash, etc.
23:07All right.
23:08Cats do not use meowing to communicate with each other.
23:10Instead, they develop meows specifically to interact with humans,
23:12using them to get attention or to beg for food.
23:14Not evolutionary.
23:15What is it?
23:16The dog is so happy you're home, and the cat's like,
23:19Welcome home, you effing can opener.
23:23In a Japanese town, there is a grave belief to belong to Jesus Christ.
23:26According to local legend, Jesus traveled to Japan during the 12 years before his ascension to divinity.
23:31So, interesting.
23:33Interesting.
23:34Another, Isugiri, took his place on the cross, allowing Jesus to escape back to Japan.
23:40Mars is the only known planet that is entirely inhabited by robots.
23:43It's obviously kind of true when you think about it, but I didn't really think about it.
23:47If you place a leech in a maze, it will eventually navigate through it.
23:50I don't know if all this is true, but it's interesting.
23:52Interestingly, if you blend that leech and feed it to another leech,
23:54the second leech will already know its way around the maze.
23:57This phenomenon is known as chemical memory,
23:59and I think that's actually very true of human beings.
24:01Where we've had our particular predators, of course, it's bred into people as a whole.
24:05Cows are highly social animals, and always have at least one friend.
24:08Remarkably, humans can become one of their friends, allowing us to train them.
24:12Cows can even be trained to be ridden and participate in activities like horse jumping.
24:18Pineapples were once so expensive and rare that wealthy people would rent them for fancy parties as decorations.
24:25TASER is an acronym that stands for Thomas A. Swift's electric rifle.
24:29It originates from a book published in 1911 entitled Thomas Swift and His Electric Rifle.
24:33I didn't know.
24:35Every sea in Pacific Ocean is pronounced differently.
24:38Pacific Ocean.
24:40Yeah.
24:41Suh.
24:42Kuh.
24:43Shuh.
24:44That's wild.
24:45That's true.
24:46You will never find broccoli growing in the wild because it was developed over centuries through meticulous plant breeding.
24:49I did not know that.
24:51And also for Gen A hairdos.
24:53Frogs can't keep their eyes open while eating.
24:56When a frog swallows food, it pulls its eyes down into the roof of its mouth, helping to push the food down its throat.
25:01Oh, God.
25:02That's hideous.
25:03And what was it?
25:04The guy who played the Terminator in Terminator 2 spent months figuring out how to shoot a gun without blinking.
25:10There is a jellyfish called Turritopsis dhokmi that can control its own aging process, effectively making it immortal.
25:20Excellent.
25:21Counting nonstop, it would take you about 12 days to count to a million.
25:24It would take you 31 years to count to a billion.
25:29The Supreme Court in America has a basketball court on the top floor, aptly named the highest court in the land.
25:34Ba-dum-bum.
25:35You can see your own nose, but your brain simply chooses to ignore it.
25:38That's true.
25:40The chainsaw was originally invented to assist with childbirth.
25:43What kind of demon robot children are coming out here?
25:49It's not so much ridiculous as it is sad.
25:51We will never know Albert Einstein's last words, because he spoke them in German to a nurse who only understood English.
25:56Well, I suppose his last words were probably,
25:59I regret saying all those positive things about that homicidal maniac Lenin.
26:03Vikings would incorporate animal bones into their weapons and armor to strengthen them,
26:08by adding carbon to the metal, rather than because of any belief that the animal spirit would inhabit the items.
26:12Oh, interesting.
26:14Kangaroos are unable to hop backwards.
26:16So you just go behind it.
26:18And you'll be fine.
26:20Q is just Q with four silent letters.
26:23As in your line-up Q, right?
26:25Pretty funny.
26:28A cat's meow mimics the cry of a human baby to manipulate humans into rushing to meet their needs.
26:33That's very interesting.
26:34Yeah, I think, I don't know.
26:35True or not, I didn't research, obviously, every one of these things, but
26:38thought-provoking.
26:40Yes, indeedy.
26:41All right.
26:44From raw egg nationalist, obesity is set to bankrupt American health care within
26:49six years, if even half of U.S. adults with obesity start taking weightless drugs like
26:54Ozempic.
26:56By 2031, if half of U.S. adults with obesity start taking Ozempic, the total cost will be an estimated
27:01$411 billion, a year or $5 billion more than the $4 or $6 billion that Americans spend in
27:062022 on all prescription drugs combined.
27:10While a significant proportion of this money will come from private sources and insurance,
27:13Medicare and Medicaid may have to pay as much as $166 billion a year, which is almost as
27:19much as both programs' total expenditure in 2022.
27:24So, yeah, it's wild.
27:26So, unfunded liabilities.
27:28Obesity is one, of course, with older health costs, older people's health costs.
27:32The other, of course, is single women who, in general, are not saving for their retirement.
27:36That is going to be a huge issue, and they're not married.
27:40So, that's interesting.
27:42So, Lord of the Flies is a total lie, right?
27:44It's just government propaganda, right?
27:46It's government propaganda to say, gee, without a government, it's just a state-of-nature
27:49war of all against all.
27:51It's based on what the author thought people would do, but in 1965, when six teenage boys
27:55actually did get marooned on a tropical island, instead of tearing each other apart, they
27:59worked together to reconstruct civilization from scratch.
28:03They divided the labor.
28:04They built shelters, kept a permanent fire going.
28:06They built without equipment.
28:07They even made a guitar.
28:09They played songs and sang together all night.
28:11After 15 months stranded, they were rescued by a man named Peter Warner, an Australian
28:14fisherman who happened to be passing by.
28:17As a reward of bringing the boys home, he was granted special fishing rights by the
28:23king of Tonga.
28:24So, yeah, that's important.
28:30Being kissed in your sleep is like the purest form of love, unless you are home alone or
28:34in prison.
28:37No artist should ignore Nietzsche's take on originality.
28:39Very true.
28:40Nietzsche wrote, originality, what is originality?
28:43To see something that has no name as yet and hence cannot be mentioned, although it stares
28:47us all in the face.
28:49The way men usually are, it takes a name to make something visible for them.
28:52Those with originality have, for the most part, also assigned names, right?
28:56Childism is one of these things.
28:57There's a lot, of course, as a whole, but the prejudice against children, once it has
29:01a name, everyone sees it.
29:04Breakdown of the costs of a well-maintained, attractive woman in a large U.S. city.
29:08Hair, $400 every two to three months at least.
29:11Facials, $200 to $300 a month.
29:13Fitness, $200 to $400 a month.
29:14Cosmetics, $100 to $300 a month.
29:16Nails, $100 or more a month.
29:18Brows, $15 to $40 a month.
29:19Waxing, laser, $100 to $150 a month.
29:21Med spas, $1k every three months at least.
29:23It doesn't even include clothes or shoes.
29:26Now, of course, this is supposed to be a very short-term mating display before you get married.
29:31Of course, this just goes on and on until you're 40s and 50s and 60s.
29:34It's just crazy.
29:36All right, we will skip the regret one.
29:39Maybe I'll do that another time.
29:41The dark side of female nature, right?
29:44Girls fall in love with the one who avoids them the most.
29:46Not true, at least not in my experience.
29:49No woman leaves you for treating her badly.
29:50She's already living a boring life.
29:52She wants excitement and drama.
29:53It doesn't matter what you do.
29:54Just don't bore her.
29:55Not true at all.
29:56Because this is all the amount of sort of time-killing and time-wasting and drama that happens with people who don't have kids.
30:03When you have kids, you have enough drama.
30:06A woman can easily smell danger and you can count on her instincts in dealing with strangers.
30:09Women's gut feeling is very strong, very true.
30:12Women tend to find a man twice as attractive when they notice that other women are also interested in him.
30:16That's true.
30:18Women hardly mature.
30:19There's not much of a difference between girls and women, unlike boys and men.
30:22I have not found that to be the case.
30:25In particular, the girls care more about how confident the guy is than the companies he built.
30:31Girls are experts in reading eyes and body language and what your intentions are.
30:35Oh, this is the funny thing.
30:36Like guys who float around women and it's like, well, I don't want to tell her that I like her.
30:39It's like, bro, she already knows.
30:41She already, already, already knows.
30:44When a girl starts to get overprotective and jealous, it's not that she doesn't trust you.
30:47It's because she's aware of what other girls are thinking.
30:49Very true.
30:51Women are attracted to strong, ambitious, influential, and charismatic men.
30:55If she tells you what is bothering her, it means she trusts you.
30:58A woman would share everything with you if she genuinely considers you, if genuinely consider you something.
31:04I don't quite get what that means.
31:06If a boy continually calls in every two or three hours, the girl gets irritated.
31:10Yes, that is not, over-attention is a bad thing.
31:15Women like forehead kisses above everything.
31:17It shows authority and women love to be belonged to the men they truly love.
31:24Her father is her first love and maybe the one she loves the most.
31:26And she wishes to see a semblance of him in her partner.
31:29If she didn't have, if she doesn't have a masculine father, she isn't worth dating.
31:33Unless she's done a lot of, a lot of work.
31:36Anyway, I just want to point that out.
31:39Some interesting discussion points.
31:40All of this is very interesting in the courtship phase.
31:42But once you have the actual business of males and females, which is the production of raising children,
31:46all of this drama tends to go away.
31:50Pay attention to how men talk about other women, especially older women.
31:53Aging is the only inevitable.
31:55If they're obsessing over Pamela and how Pamela Anderson hit the wall at 56,
31:58they don't want you for life.
32:00They want you for your 20s.
32:02No, because men are attracted to fertility.
32:05And of course, when you have your wife, you love your wife, you watch her be a great mom,
32:10and you age, you know, both my wife and I, of course, are in our mid to late 50s.
32:14And she's beautiful and wonderful.
32:16Do we look as good as we did in our 20s?
32:18Well, of course not.
32:19We now have the bond, right?
32:20But yes, a woman who relied primarily on her looks is going to age out and look bad.
32:27Okay, I'll skip these, skip this.
32:30I thought this picture was kind of funny.
32:32When you finally get to meet your idol in person,
32:34it's somebody with the polo t-shirt being whacked out by a cop with a baton.
32:38I just thought the coincidence of pictures was funny.
32:41An Englishman, Frenchman, Spaniard, and a German are watching a street performer juggling.
32:44The juggler notices the four gentlemen have a very poor view,
32:47and he stands up on a wooden crate and calls out,
32:49Can you all see me now?
32:50Yes, oui, si, yeah.
32:53Yeah, yes, oui, si.
32:55It took me a moment, but I got it.
32:57How genetically inheritable are human traits such as height, physical health,
33:00mental health, education, religiosity, conservatism, IQ, and personality?
33:04And what do these heritabilities actually mean?
33:06And the answer is all of them to some degree or another,
33:09and some are extraordinarily high.
33:13All right.
33:14This was funny.
33:16Nine conversational tricks to make people think you are cool.
33:19And Aragorn, son of Arathorn, heir to the throne of Gondor.
33:22Instead of saying this, let's go, say this, I bid you stand.
33:27Instead of saying, take two trips, you cannot wield it, none of us can.
33:32Instead of saying, you're welcome, say, you bow to no one.
33:36Instead of saying, I'm taking the day off, say, I can avoid being seen if I wish.
33:42Instead of saying, hurry up, say, gentlemen, we do not stop till nightfall.
33:48I had a great time, should be replaced with, I thought I had wandered into a dream.
33:52Instead of long time no see, long have you hunted me, long have I eluded you.
33:58Instead of saying, hope so, say, what does your heart tell you?
34:02Instead of saying, okay, I'll do it, say, if by my life or death I can't protect you, I will.
34:08I don't know why you have to say it that way, but you do.
34:13All right.
34:14Slave morality I've talked about.
34:16Guy was attacked by a baby bear, and now he can say for the rest of his life he fought a bear and survived.
34:21List of men's concerns with the war.
34:25Why is she 13 single?
34:26Fair question.
34:28Fair question.
34:29Will she rush me to commitment?
34:30Also a fair question.
34:31Am I her first choice or her last chance?
34:34Yeah, nobody wants to be the subtle guy, right?
34:38What has she been up to since the age of 18?
34:40Yes, yes, yes.
34:41I don't have much time to vet, marry, and have kids.
34:43Yes, been there.
34:44Will I be able to have more than one kid?
34:46Will it bother me later on when I get hit on by 25-year-olds and I'm with her?
34:52What bad habits did she pick up along the way?
34:54Can I do better?
34:55Can I afford her?
34:56Will she follow my guidance and rules, i.e. one vacation per year instead of three, eat healthy like me, etc.?
35:01Am I getting her sexual best?
35:03I'm not sure what that means exactly.
35:05What health issues has she picked up along the way?
35:07STDs, prior obesity, etc.?
35:09Has she been with anyone I know?
35:11Has she shown herself naked online?
35:17Recent concern as of 2020.
35:19I've done everything right, made up for my mistakes.
35:21Has she?
35:22Does she have debt?
35:24What is, well, sorry, what was, slash, is her presence on social media?
35:27Like, look at your average female ex account.
35:29Is she even fertile despite a decade plus of possibly not maintaining her health?
35:33Will she sign a prenup?
35:35No?
35:36A prenup.
35:37Very interesting.
35:40Very interesting.
35:42So, yeah, these are all reasonable questions.
35:44And, of course, the women have questions for men as well.
35:46I thought this was funny, too.
35:47Therapy is evil because it is an attempt to recreate the Catholic confession,
35:50but instead of talking to a priest, you're talking to a white woman who voted for Joe Biden.
35:55What is it about women, asks Aristophanes,
35:59what is it about women that gives them such a predilection to the occult?
36:02Astrology, tarot, palm reading, whatever.
36:04Even in religious women, there seems to be an Egypt female magnetism
36:07to charismatic Pentecostal Christianity,
36:09where they spend way too much time believing in these things solely
36:11so they can hyperventilate about how evil those things are all the time.
36:16The spiritual warfare deliverance mom with crystals
36:18and sage-burning yoga girl are way more similar
36:21than either of them would ever dare to admit.
36:26Well, because women can move mountains through feelings, right?
36:31So, I mean, the Hellen of Troy, right?
36:35The face that launched a thousand warships, right?
36:37So women can move mountains.
36:39Women say, I want a house, and a house comes into being.
36:41So women have magical thinking in a lot of ways
36:43because their feelings, emotions, preferences, and desires
36:46reshape the physical world.
36:48So they're closer to magical spells than men are as a whole.
36:56All right.
36:59So, let's see here.
37:01Yeah, this is just appalling stuff, right?
37:03After over a hundred years of Rockefeller petrol-based medicine,
37:06I don't really know what that means,
37:07but this is where the health system is at the moment, right?
37:11One in 36 children have autism.
37:14One in three children are overweight or obese.
37:16One in eight children have asthma.
37:18One in 20 children have seizures.
37:19One in 12 have food allergies.
37:21One in nine now have ADHD.
37:23One in 100 children have a heart problem.
37:25Over 350,000 children have been diagnosed with diabetes.
37:30Over half of U.S. children now suffer from a chronic condition,
37:33disability, or disease.
37:35Americans spend the least on food, the most on health care,
37:37have the most highly vaccinated kids,
37:40and have the sickest kids of any industrialized country.
37:43So, it's just wild.
37:45And I'm always a little suspicious of the fact
37:47that there are a lot of people who claim to care a lot about the future
37:50and health and this and that and the other.
37:52Why there isn't a massive societal convulsion into figuring out
37:55the cause of the autism is just wild.
37:58It's just wild.
38:02All right, we'll stop here.
38:03I thought this was kind of funny.
38:05Americans, I use miles and pounds.
38:07Europeans, I use kilometers and kilograms.
38:09Canadians, snorting a line of associated measuring systems.
38:13I'm five foot eight.
38:14I weigh 150 pounds.
38:15Horses weigh 1,000 kilograms.
38:17My house is an hour away, and I drive 80 kilometers an hour to get there.
