Friday Night Live 18 April 2025

In this episode, I explore the intersection of philosophy and contemporary societal issues, addressing political rights, the historical context of voting struggles, and the importance of storytelling in shaping societal narratives. We discuss current events, including the lab leak theory related to COVID-19 and rising autism rates, questioning public health narratives and accountability among health officials. I invite listeners to reflect on moral transformations in their lives and emphasize the need for critical thinking and personal responsibility in navigating an evolving world.

Transcript
00:00:00Welcome to Friday Night Live.
00:00:02It's Stefan Molyneux from Freedom, Maine.
00:00:05We're talking the 18th of April, 2024.
00:00:08Hope you're doing well.
00:00:09Thank you for joining me for Philosophy Tonight.
00:00:13And I'm happy to take your questions, issues, challenges, problems, whatever is on your mind.
00:00:18I will strive to bring the various pull goats of philosophy in a line to get you to the next place, the better place as a whole.
00:00:30So, I am, of course, happy to take your questions, comments, whatever is on your mind.
00:00:39I am thrilled to hear.
00:00:43And I don't know if you've seen this.
00:00:48Just while we're waiting for the questions to come in.
00:00:50You know that there's this kind of constant thing about how women didn't get the right to vote, women needed the right to vote.
00:01:01You know, the period where all men could vote but women could not vote was a tiny blip in humanity as a whole.
00:01:09And this is what Alexander wrote.
00:01:14This is at Date Psych on X.
00:01:16Western men didn't gain the universal right to vote until about 150 years ago.
00:01:21When people talk about how women's voting rights need to be restricted because that is how it was always done,
00:01:28we should keep in mind that Western civilization was built on the rule by a small aristocracy.
00:01:34This was the landscape.
00:01:36A supermajority of men were not allowed to hold even a single scrap of political power.
00:01:42Even among the minority of men who were, their power was restricted to the village and the township.
00:01:48Their, quote, betters, as he writes, did not believe that common men had the sense to govern themselves.
00:01:53When men began to expand the right to vote, it was largely based on property ownership.
00:01:59He says, occasionally I see modern variations such as married men with family should be allowed to vote,
00:02:03but merely wedding and having offspring was not important.
00:02:09What was important was having shown sufficient investment in society as well as aptitude by having become monetarily successful.
00:02:17So today we see the descendants of these men, who were not allowed to vote for most of Western history,
00:02:25spinning fantasies about how restricting female suffrage, but not male suffrage as we did for the past 1800 years,
00:02:30was instrumental in the rise of the West.
00:02:35And this is largely manosphere discourse.
00:02:40So we can't forget one other fact that manosphere is disproportionately non-white.
00:02:43Many of the men espousing women should not be allowed to vote have recent ancestors who could not vote.
00:02:48Ancestors who were considered to be property and who the dominant members of society gave fewer rights to than white women.
00:02:54Is that true? The manosphere is disproportionately non-white? I didn't know that.
00:02:59The fantasy that women should be restricted in political power, as it was done in the West, is ahistorical.
00:03:04Without the context that we should also restrict political power exclusively to the aristocracy, he writes,
00:03:09or at the very least, the monetarily successful.
00:03:11So no populist movements, no neats collectively bargaining the state for jobs and wives,
00:03:15a polity, he writes, ruled by a small minority of elites.
00:03:19This is the real history for anyone who wants to, quote, return.
00:03:22He says, I don't support it. Of course, neither do I.
00:03:25I would prefer a straightforward and equal meritocracy,
00:03:27but I wanted to make a reminder that in the tradition some wish to return to,
00:03:31they would even be politically powerless as women were, potentially even slaves.
00:03:35So I thought that was very well, well put.
00:03:40And of course, the fact that, thank you, Anthony,
00:03:46the fact that women had, there was a certain period of time where men had the vote,
00:03:53but women didn't have the vote.
00:03:54The fact that women didn't have to be drafted,
00:04:00the women weren't responsible for military service,
00:04:02and haven't been as a whole, is quite important.
00:04:06Quite important.
00:04:11So, just remember that when people complain about this kind of stuff,
00:04:15they're really talking about a very different kind of world.
00:04:20Now, I'm, you know, because I'm a voluntarist,
00:04:28an advocate for, in generations from now, through Peaceful Parenting,
00:04:32a stateless society, what I want, what I really want,
00:04:36is a kind of cultural influence.
00:04:44We're going to have to make decisions in society.
00:04:47Absent the state, those decisions will be more dispersed and voluntary.
00:04:50We're going to have to make decisions in society.
00:04:53And one of the things that I like the idea of is, of course, you know,
00:04:57parents having major decision points for their own children.
00:05:02Absent sort of the ridiculously propagandistic media and, quote,
00:05:07education that's going on these days.
00:05:11But I think those who have the skill to tell powerful stories
00:05:19that affect people's gut,
00:05:23I think they should have a lot of say in society.
00:05:30I mean, they kind of do at the moment, but it's all corrupted.
00:05:33It's all corrupted because everybody's trying to get proximity to state power,
00:05:37proximity to the power of the state and of its benefits.
00:05:40And so, because there is something to destabilize,
00:05:48which is the statist organization of society,
00:05:51because there's something to destabilize,
00:05:54the value of destabilizing that becomes very large.
00:05:59So, I like the idea of people who can tell really great stories
00:06:04having a lot of influence in society.
00:06:06That's kind of how it used to be in a lot of ways.
00:06:09Think of the sort of ancient myths, the Greeks, Romans,
00:06:11the stories that are embedded in many religious texts and so on.
00:06:15Those who could tell fantastic stories
00:06:17had a significant amount of authority in society,
00:06:23which is why, I mean, storytelling is still very powerful,
00:06:26but it's been corrupted as a whole.
00:06:29A storytelling these days.
00:06:34Tell me what you guys think.
00:06:35I'm curious what you guys think.
00:06:38But storytelling these days, I think,
00:06:42tends to be about the stoking of resentment and little else.
00:06:49It tends to be just about the stoking of resentment
00:06:53and almost nothing else.
00:06:59So, everyone who is not successful is not successful
00:07:07because someone else stole from them.
00:07:11Everybody who's at the bottom is at the bottom
00:07:13because they're, you know, the fascist boot or the communist,
00:07:16well, usually the fascist boot on the neck.
00:07:18It is all about stoking resentment.
00:07:22And that stoking of resentment is what is aimed to have,
00:07:26I think, regular eruptions of violence
00:07:29so that the destabilizations can continue.
00:07:35It's very sad how power corrupts and corruption drives more power,
00:07:47which drives more corruption, which drives more power.
00:07:51It's very sad.
00:07:51Did you see?
00:07:59I'm sure you have seen this.
00:08:01I'm sure you have seen this.
00:08:02If you go to, is it?
00:08:06Let me just double check this.
00:08:08If you go to COVID.gov,
00:08:12which I think used to be more around just general COVID information,
00:08:16try this.
00:08:17Try this.
00:08:18Go to COVID.gov.
00:08:20And you know this is unusual
00:08:22because, frankly, how often do I recommend a .gov site?
00:08:27I honestly can't remember if I've ever done it.
00:08:28But if you go to COVID.gov,
00:08:34you will see something quite remarkable.
00:08:36I think it just came out today or yesterday.
00:08:39And for those of you who are just listening or whatever,
00:08:41I will tell you,
00:08:42if you go to COVID.gov,
00:08:45you get redirected to the WhiteHouse.gov.
00:08:48And there's a big picture of Trump.
00:08:51And it says,
00:08:52lab leak, the true origins of COVID-19.
00:08:58And it writes,
00:09:00the proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2 publication,
00:09:02which was used repeatedly by public health officials
00:09:05and the media to discredit the lab leak theory,
00:09:07was prompted by Dr. Fauci to push the preferred narrative
00:09:10that COVID-19 originated naturally.
00:09:14One, the virus possesses biological characteristics.
00:09:17Sorry, the virus possesses a biological characteristic
00:09:20that is not found in nature.
00:09:23Two, data shows that all COVID-19 cases
00:09:27stem from a single introduction into humans.
00:09:29This runs contrary to previous pandemics
00:09:31where there were multiple spillover events.
00:09:34Right.
00:09:34So if you have,
00:09:35if the pangolins or whatever they were saying
00:09:37was the case,
00:09:39if the virus was in nature,
00:09:43in pangolins or bats or whatever,
00:09:45then it would come from a bunch of different places.
00:09:46Right.
00:09:47It came from single introduction.
00:09:50Wuhan.
00:09:51You may remember this from my presentation
00:09:53called The Case Against China.
00:09:54Wuhan is home to China's foremost SARS research lab,
00:09:58which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research,
00:10:00gene altering,
00:10:01and organism supercharging
00:10:02at inadequate biosafety levels.
00:10:04Yes.
00:10:05I do distinctly remember
00:10:07talking about the Wuhan Institute of Virology
00:10:10having about the same level of security
00:10:12and containment
00:10:14as your average dentist's office.
00:10:17Wuhan Institute of Virology,
00:10:20WIV researchers,
00:10:21were sick with COVID-19,
00:10:23sorry,
00:10:23with COVID-like symptoms
00:10:24in the fall of 2019,
00:10:26months before COVID-19 was discovered
00:10:27at the wet market.
00:10:30Five.
00:10:31By nearly all measures of science,
00:10:33if there was evidence of a natural origin,
00:10:36it would have already surfaced.
00:10:38But it hasn't.
00:10:44So anyway,
00:10:45it's well worth having a look.
00:10:47I'll put the,
00:10:48you can go to covid.gov,
00:10:49but I'll also put it in here as well.
00:10:51Oh,
00:10:58thanks, James.
00:10:58Yeah,
00:10:58the show is
00:10:59FDR 4600,
00:11:02the case against China.
00:11:03And I think it's worth looking at the video for that
00:11:05as a whole.
00:11:10I remember Steph and Alex Jones
00:11:12saying back in the day
00:11:13it looked like it came out of a lab.
00:11:14I think my phrase was,
00:11:19of course it came out of a lab,
00:11:22but they said,
00:11:22they thought that the,
00:11:23the caves where the bats were
00:11:25was 800 kilometers away,
00:11:27that the bats were just gonna
00:11:28just fly
00:11:29all the way up to,
00:11:30to Wuhan.
00:11:31crazy.
00:11:38So,
00:11:40I've done this.
00:11:41It says,
00:11:41I personally analyzed the COVID-19 virus genome
00:11:43and it has the HIV virus genome
00:11:45into a PUC vector.
00:11:48Are the inserts,
00:11:49right?
00:11:49Are you surprised
00:12:03that no major players
00:12:04in the release of the bioweapon
00:12:06have been arrested
00:12:07or prosecuted yet
00:12:08by the Department of Justice?
00:12:10I am,
00:12:11not only am I not surprised,
00:12:14I would be deeply shocked
00:12:15if it ever happened.
00:12:19the law
00:12:21is one of these
00:12:22often,
00:12:23right?
00:12:24The law,
00:12:25the law
00:12:25is this funny net
00:12:26that
00:12:28it's,
00:12:30it's like an inverse fishing net.
00:12:32It catches all the little fish
00:12:33and all the big fish go away.
00:12:36All the big fish get away.
00:12:39That seems,
00:12:40does that seem pale to you?
00:12:41My video?
00:12:42Oh well,
00:12:43I've got the,
00:12:43I've got the backup.
00:12:47No,
00:12:48I think,
00:12:48no,
00:12:48it's everything's pale
00:12:49on the screen.
00:12:50Yeah,
00:12:51freedomain.com
00:12:52slash playlist
00:12:52slash coronavirus.
00:12:54I think I did pretty well
00:12:55overall.
00:12:58I did pretty well overall.
00:13:00I was covered.
00:13:08No,
00:13:08I don't,
00:13:09I don't think
00:13:10the law is like a spider's web.
00:13:14The flies get caught
00:13:14and the wasps go free.
00:13:15would you be interested
00:13:23in the reasons why
00:13:24people will not be prosecuted?
00:13:26Just hit me with a why.
00:13:27I want to make sure
00:13:28I'm tailoring the show
00:13:29to things that are of interest
00:13:30and value to you.
00:13:32Do you want to know why
00:13:33I think people will never be
00:13:35persecuted?
00:13:37Hmm.
00:13:39Prosecuted.
00:13:39Let's get the word right.
00:13:43I mean,
00:13:44if you have other questions,
00:13:44comments,
00:13:45I'm very,
00:13:45very happy to,
00:13:46to hear all of that.
00:13:54Well,
00:13:54when a conspiracy
00:13:55gets big enough,
00:13:57then it's very,
00:13:58very hard to break.
00:14:00AKA the state.
00:14:01Right?
00:14:01It's very,
00:14:02very hard to break.
00:14:03So,
00:14:04in order for,
00:14:08I mean,
00:14:10in order,
00:14:10let's say,
00:14:11to go after Fauci
00:14:13or something like that,
00:14:13and I know that there are
00:14:14some referrals and so on,
00:14:15but I was also reading it,
00:14:17I don't know if it's true
00:14:17that he's trying to
00:14:18go to China.
00:14:20I don't know.
00:14:20And he got his pardon
00:14:21back to 2014 from Biden.
00:14:24And
00:14:24there was a very sort of
00:14:30bitter meme on X,
00:14:31which was like,
00:14:32oh,
00:14:32so the guy who recommended
00:14:33you get
00:14:33the COVID
00:14:35jab
00:14:37just got a full
00:14:39pardon
00:14:40back to 2014.
00:14:42So,
00:14:42the reason why
00:14:44is that
00:14:45it would,
00:14:45it would simply
00:14:46undo and unravel
00:14:47too much.
00:14:48The rabbit holes
00:14:49are too deep.
00:14:50The,
00:14:50the,
00:14:50the web,
00:14:51the interconnection
00:14:52is just too broad.
00:14:54It's too wide.
00:14:54as a whole.
00:14:56Where would you stop?
00:14:58Where would you stop?
00:15:00Right,
00:15:01if you go into,
00:15:01let's say,
00:15:02Echo Health,
00:15:03you go into
00:15:03the funding,
00:15:05you go into
00:15:06DASIC,
00:15:07you go,
00:15:08does that lead you
00:15:09to the CDC?
00:15:10Does that lead you
00:15:10to the World Health Organization?
00:15:12Does that lead you
00:15:12to
00:15:13the NIH?
00:15:15Like,
00:15:16where would it stop?
00:15:18That's the challenge.
00:15:20And building
00:15:21those kinds of cases
00:15:22against,
00:15:24obviously,
00:15:24some very desperate people
00:15:25would take
00:15:26a huge,
00:15:27I mean,
00:15:27almost an infinity
00:15:28of time.
00:15:30Building these kinds
00:15:31of cases
00:15:31is really tough.
00:15:34And you have
00:15:35the pardons.
00:15:36You could try
00:15:37and work things
00:15:37into the state level
00:15:38maybe,
00:15:38but
00:15:38there'd be
00:15:42a huge amount
00:15:42of warning.
00:15:44It would take
00:15:44a long time
00:15:45to sniff your way
00:15:45up and down
00:15:46and through the tendrils.
00:15:48As far as I understand it,
00:15:49some data,
00:15:51some emails,
00:15:51some trails
00:15:54have already been
00:15:55erased or deleted.
00:16:02And
00:16:03the media
00:16:09would
00:16:11not report on it.
00:16:12In fact,
00:16:13they would report
00:16:13on it negatively.
00:16:14and the politicians
00:16:17who would be
00:16:19pursuing this,
00:16:19I mean,
00:16:20I know it would be DOJ,
00:16:21but there'd need to be
00:16:21some political involvement.
00:16:24The politicians
00:16:25who would be
00:16:25pursuing this
00:16:26would
00:16:29not
00:16:30make it into
00:16:32their next term.
00:16:34Right?
00:16:34Because this would be
00:16:34at least
00:16:35a half-decade-long process
00:16:37in which
00:16:38they would simply
00:16:38just make sure
00:16:39that they funded
00:16:40everyone and their dog
00:16:41to displace
00:16:42whoever was
00:16:43in pursuit
00:16:44of this
00:16:45incredibly
00:16:46complicated
00:16:47system.
00:16:52So that's
00:16:53one side.
00:16:54And again,
00:16:54it's just
00:16:55my opinion,
00:16:56right?
00:16:56I'm no expert.
00:16:57But
00:16:57the other side
00:16:59is
00:17:00okay,
00:17:02let me ask you
00:17:03this,
00:17:04guys,
00:17:04directly.
00:17:06If you could,
00:17:06please.
00:17:07Tell me the number
00:17:08of people
00:17:08you've
00:17:11known in your
00:17:12life
00:17:12who've had
00:17:14a significant
00:17:15moral reversal,
00:17:18a big,
00:17:19big,
00:17:19big
00:17:20moral reversal.
00:17:24They've come
00:17:24to some
00:17:25astounding
00:17:26revelation
00:17:26about something
00:17:27down at
00:17:32180
00:17:32because most
00:17:33people skid
00:17:34past the
00:17:34180 and go
00:17:35to the
00:17:35360,
00:17:36right?
00:17:40Zero.
00:17:41one.
00:17:43One.
00:17:44Not counting
00:17:44yourself.
00:17:45I assume that,
00:17:45you know,
00:17:45if we're in
00:17:46this conversation,
00:17:46we're doing
00:17:47a lot of
00:17:47right?
00:17:55Right.
00:17:57So it's very
00:17:58low.
00:18:01Okay,
00:18:01so that's
00:18:02the first one.
00:18:04Let me ask
00:18:05you this.
00:18:05how many
00:18:06people
00:18:06do you
00:18:09know
00:18:09who've
00:18:11gone
00:18:11through
00:18:11that
00:18:12process
00:18:12but not
00:18:13a moral
00:18:14revelation
00:18:14regarding
00:18:15something
00:18:15abstract
00:18:16or in
00:18:16relationship
00:18:17to
00:18:17themselves
00:18:17but in
00:18:19regard to
00:18:20something
00:18:20personal
00:18:20that they've
00:18:21done to
00:18:21someone
00:18:21else?
00:18:23That's
00:18:24the big
00:18:24question.
00:18:30Oh,
00:18:31yeah,
00:18:31don't forget
00:18:31freedomend.com
00:18:32slash donate to
00:18:32help out the
00:18:33show.
00:18:33I really
00:18:33would
00:18:33appreciate
00:18:34that.
00:18:35Excuse me.
00:18:35So how
00:18:36many
00:18:36people
00:18:36have
00:18:41done a
00:18:43big
00:18:44moral
00:18:44180
00:18:44with
00:18:45regards
00:18:45to
00:18:45something
00:18:46personal
00:18:46that they
00:18:48have done
00:18:49to someone
00:18:50else?
00:18:51Some
00:18:51significant
00:18:52wrong
00:18:53that they've
00:18:54done to
00:18:54someone else?
00:18:54I've talked
00:18:55to a couple
00:18:55of parents
00:18:56over the
00:18:56last,
00:18:56you know,
00:18:57close to
00:18:5720 years.
00:18:57I've talked
00:18:58to a couple
00:18:58of parents
00:18:58who've
00:18:59changed
00:18:59their mind,
00:19:00reversed
00:19:00their view
00:19:00on their
00:19:01spanking
00:19:02or things
00:19:02that they
00:19:02did.
00:19:03That way
00:19:04with kids.
00:19:07But
00:19:07when it
00:19:10comes to
00:19:11a moral
00:19:13revolution
00:19:13regarding
00:19:14yourself,
00:19:14regarding
00:19:14the world,
00:19:15regarding
00:19:15life as a
00:19:17whole,
00:19:18your society,
00:19:19history,
00:19:20whatever it
00:19:20is,
00:19:20that's
00:19:20abstract and
00:19:21that's
00:19:21personal,
00:19:22which is
00:19:22not to
00:19:23say that
00:19:23that's
00:19:23bad.
00:19:24Sorry,
00:19:25what I
00:19:25mean by
00:19:25abstract is
00:19:26it's not
00:19:26something
00:19:26that you
00:19:27did.
00:19:27like when
00:19:29I went
00:19:30from
00:19:30minarchist
00:19:31to
00:19:32voluntarist,
00:19:33that was
00:19:34a big
00:19:34revolution.
00:19:35It was
00:19:36abstract,
00:19:36but it
00:19:36was also
00:19:37personal
00:19:37because
00:19:38that's
00:19:39what I
00:19:39began to
00:19:39advocate for,
00:19:40that's
00:19:40what I
00:19:40began to
00:19:40really
00:19:40accept and
00:19:41understand
00:19:41and so
00:19:42on,
00:19:43and form
00:19:43the foundation
00:19:44of really
00:19:45the universal
00:19:46non-aggression
00:19:46principle that I
00:19:47talk about
00:19:47in this
00:19:48conversation.
00:19:48So that's
00:19:51abstract and
00:19:51it's
00:19:51personal,
00:19:52but it
00:19:52wasn't
00:19:52something
00:19:52that I
00:19:53did.
00:19:54It wasn't
00:19:55something that
00:19:55I did
00:19:56that was
00:19:56bad or
00:19:56wrong or
00:19:57mean or
00:19:57whatever it
00:19:58is,
00:19:58right?
00:20:02So how
00:20:02many people,
00:20:03thank you,
00:20:05freedom,
00:20:05how many
00:20:07people have
00:20:09you known
00:20:10who have
00:20:12woken,
00:20:13unknown
00:20:13personally,
00:20:14not like,
00:20:14you know,
00:20:14heard of,
00:20:15who've woken
00:20:15up personally
00:20:16to
00:20:17a wrong,
00:20:19a significant
00:20:19wrong that
00:20:20they've done
00:20:20and reversed
00:20:21it,
00:20:22without being
00:20:23caught,
00:20:23without being
00:20:23cornered,
00:20:24without being
00:20:24forced,
00:20:25without,
00:20:25like,
00:20:25they just
00:20:25have had
00:20:26that revelation.
00:20:30I think
00:20:30for me it's
00:20:31zero.
00:20:32I'm trying to
00:20:33be sort of
00:20:34rigorous about
00:20:34this.
00:20:36James says,
00:20:37not a one,
00:20:38anyone I've
00:20:38known that
00:20:38apologized for
00:20:39a wrong
00:20:39was already
00:20:40moral to
00:20:40begin with.
00:20:43Right.
00:20:47without being
00:20:57cornered,
00:20:58then it's a
00:20:58zero for
00:20:59sure,
00:20:59zero.
00:20:59Yeah.
00:21:00Yeah.
00:21:01Yes,
00:21:02that's right.
00:21:11So,
00:21:11you know,
00:21:13when,
00:21:14this is,
00:21:15I think,
00:21:16a useful
00:21:16metric as
00:21:17a whole.
00:21:19And the
00:21:20useful metric
00:21:20is this.
00:21:21If you're
00:21:22expecting
00:21:22something big
00:21:23in society,
00:21:26right,
00:21:26if you're
00:21:27expecting
00:21:27something,
00:21:28or thinking
00:21:28of something
00:21:29big in
00:21:29society,
00:21:30you need
00:21:31to look
00:21:31at
00:21:32your own
00:21:34personal life
00:21:35and you
00:21:36need to
00:21:36see who
00:21:37has made
00:21:37those changes
00:21:38or those
00:21:39revolutions
00:21:39or those
00:21:40changes
00:21:40already
00:21:41before.
00:21:45If you're
00:21:45expecting a
00:21:46big moral
00:21:46revolution in
00:21:47society,
00:21:47then you
00:21:50need to
00:21:50look and
00:21:50say,
00:21:50okay,
00:21:51I'm asking
00:21:52for something
00:21:52big and
00:21:52abstract and
00:21:53personal in
00:21:54society.
00:21:55The abstract
00:21:56is the
00:21:56morals,
00:21:56the personal
00:21:57is it
00:21:57involves you.
00:21:59So,
00:22:01if you
00:22:03are looking
00:22:04for
00:22:06something
00:22:09big to
00:22:09happen in
00:22:09society,
00:22:10ask
00:22:12yourself,
00:22:13how much
00:22:13has it
00:22:13happened
00:22:14in your
00:22:15life?
00:22:18I mean,
00:22:19I sort of
00:22:20refer to
00:22:20this as
00:22:21personal
00:22:21empiricism,
00:22:22if that
00:22:23makes sense.
00:22:26The
00:22:26personal
00:22:26empiricism
00:22:27is,
00:22:28have I
00:22:28seen what
00:22:29I want
00:22:29in society
00:22:30in and
00:22:31among the
00:22:31people in
00:22:31my own
00:22:32life?
00:22:39Say that
00:22:39again,
00:22:40it's really,
00:22:40really important.
00:22:42Have I
00:22:43seen what
00:22:43I want
00:22:43in society
00:22:44play out
00:22:45among
00:22:47people in
00:22:48my own
00:22:48life?
00:22:53Now,
00:22:53if you
00:22:54haven't,
00:22:58there's no
00:22:58point holding
00:22:59your breath
00:22:59for society
00:22:59as a whole.
00:23:00just imagine
00:23:07what would
00:23:10happen in
00:23:10society
00:23:11if,
00:23:15I mean,
00:23:17whether it's
00:23:17Fauci or
00:23:17whoever,
00:23:18right?
00:23:18Let's say,
00:23:18let's just,
00:23:19you know,
00:23:19take this as a
00:23:20sort of
00:23:20theoretical
00:23:20journey.
00:23:23Let's just
00:23:23take this as a
00:23:24theoretical
00:23:24journey.
00:23:24what would
00:23:25happen in
00:23:26society
00:23:26if somehow
00:23:28some sort
00:23:29of brain
00:23:30squeal,
00:23:30fast forward
00:23:31could be
00:23:31hit on
00:23:32prosecuting
00:23:33gain-of-function
00:23:35research,
00:23:36prosecuting
00:23:37corruption,
00:23:38prosecuting
00:23:39claiming science
00:23:40when there was
00:23:41no science,
00:23:42right?
00:23:42What did Fauci
00:23:43say about the
00:23:44six-foot rule?
00:23:45It just kind of
00:23:46appeared.
00:23:46and they
00:23:48were,
00:23:48you know,
00:23:48flip-flopped
00:23:49a lot on
00:23:49science
00:23:51and
00:23:54imagine
00:23:57that you
00:23:57could do
00:23:58that in
00:23:59six months.
00:24:00Whatever,
00:24:00right?
00:24:01Some number.
00:24:02If you could
00:24:02do that in
00:24:02six months
00:24:03and you
00:24:09could come
00:24:09to the
00:24:09conclusion
00:24:10that it
00:24:13was all
00:24:13funded,
00:24:15lied about,
00:24:16corrupt,
00:24:17falsified,
00:24:17driven for
00:24:18profit and
00:24:18power,
00:24:20and that
00:24:24people had
00:24:25been fooled
00:24:25into doing
00:24:26very negative
00:24:29and dangerous
00:24:30things as
00:24:31a result of
00:24:32rampant and
00:24:34rank corruption.
00:24:36Imagine.
00:24:39What would
00:24:40that do to
00:24:40people's minds?
00:24:41when people
00:24:48become
00:24:48confused and
00:24:50corrupt
00:24:50enough,
00:24:51moral
00:24:53clarity
00:24:54becomes their
00:24:55enemy.
00:24:56They don't
00:24:57want it.
00:24:58They don't
00:24:58want it.
00:25:00It is
00:25:01anathema
00:25:01to them.
00:25:03It is
00:25:03toxic,
00:25:04dangerous,
00:25:04negative.
00:25:05They don't
00:25:10want it.
00:25:14They would
00:25:14rather,
00:25:15and I think
00:25:16personally we all
00:25:17have this
00:25:17temptation,
00:25:18I certainly
00:25:18do,
00:25:19they would
00:25:19rather live
00:25:20in ignorance
00:25:20than realize
00:25:24the wrongs
00:25:26they've done.
00:25:27And you just
00:25:28have to trick
00:25:28or fool
00:25:29or bully
00:25:29or tempt
00:25:31or give
00:25:31a free
00:25:31donut to
00:25:32enough
00:25:32people
00:25:32to get
00:25:33them to
00:25:34do corrupt
00:25:34things.
00:25:36And
00:25:36they then
00:25:44will rail
00:25:44against
00:25:45moral
00:25:45clarity.
00:25:48I was so
00:25:48grateful to
00:25:49hear you,
00:25:49even more so
00:25:49alive.
00:25:50Appreciate that.
00:25:55You know,
00:25:56I mean,
00:25:57if there
00:25:58is suspicion
00:25:59and I think
00:26:00there is
00:26:00among a lot
00:26:01of people,
00:26:01if there
00:26:01is a
00:26:01suspicion
00:26:02that this
00:26:03is all
00:26:04very corrupt
00:26:05and done
00:26:06for greed,
00:26:07control,
00:26:08money,
00:26:08power,
00:26:09you name
00:26:09it.
00:26:13If
00:26:13people realize
00:26:15that they
00:26:16were fooled
00:26:16that badly,
00:26:17that they
00:26:17were that
00:26:17compliant,
00:26:18that they
00:26:18were that
00:26:18empty,
00:26:18and they
00:26:19did it
00:26:19to their
00:26:19kids,
00:26:24they did
00:26:25it to
00:26:25their
00:26:25kids.
00:26:29How
00:26:39are they
00:26:39going to
00:26:39process
00:26:40that?
00:26:42You know,
00:26:42I mean,
00:26:42Robert F.
00:26:43Kennedy Jr.,
00:26:43as I talked
00:26:44about recently,
00:26:44says that
00:26:45he's going to
00:26:46move heaven
00:26:47and earth
00:26:47over the
00:26:48next six
00:26:49months or
00:26:49so to
00:26:50get to
00:26:52the
00:26:54multi-factor
00:26:54causality
00:26:56behind
00:26:56autism.
00:26:57It could
00:27:02be wrong,
00:27:02of course,
00:27:02but it
00:27:02seems to
00:27:03me that
00:27:03the data
00:27:03for that,
00:27:04if it
00:27:04involves
00:27:04vaccines,
00:27:05would be
00:27:06fairly
00:27:06prevalent.
00:27:06You would
00:27:06simply go
00:27:07through and
00:27:07collect the
00:27:08data from
00:27:08the general
00:27:09practitioners
00:27:09and say,
00:27:10okay,
00:27:10well,
00:27:11within seven
00:27:11to 14
00:27:11days of
00:27:12getting a
00:27:12vaccine,
00:27:12did the
00:27:13parents call
00:27:13with autistic
00:27:14symptoms?
00:27:14You know,
00:27:14there'd be
00:27:14some correlation
00:27:16there that
00:27:17might imply
00:27:17some pretty
00:27:18significant
00:27:20causality.
00:27:21but I
00:27:26don't know,
00:27:27I don't
00:27:29know what
00:27:30people would
00:27:30do
00:27:31if it
00:27:38turns out
00:27:38they were
00:27:39fooled to
00:27:39that degree
00:27:40or lied
00:27:40to to that
00:27:41degree or
00:27:41like what
00:27:42would the
00:27:42doctors do
00:27:42if it
00:27:43turned out
00:27:43that they
00:27:44were pushing
00:27:44the wrong
00:27:45stuff or
00:27:46at least
00:27:46stuff that
00:27:46was dangerous.
00:27:48I mean,
00:27:49what would
00:27:49they do?
00:27:51what would
00:27:52people do?
00:27:55You know,
00:27:5527% of
00:27:56autistic people,
00:27:58according to
00:27:58what I've
00:27:58read,
00:27:5827% of
00:27:59autistic people
00:28:00are like
00:28:00seriously
00:28:01low-functioning.
00:28:02You know,
00:28:03like they
00:28:03might have
00:28:03to wear
00:28:03helmets,
00:28:04they will
00:28:04never have
00:28:05a job,
00:28:05they will
00:28:05never be
00:28:06independent,
00:28:07they,
00:28:07of course,
00:28:08as they get
00:28:08bigger and
00:28:08their caregivers
00:28:09get older,
00:28:10the impulsivity,
00:28:11aggression,
00:28:12violence,
00:28:13sometimes
00:28:13intellectual
00:28:14disabilities,
00:28:16it is
00:28:16rough,
00:28:18really rough,
00:28:19lifelong,
00:28:20and it,
00:28:20you know,
00:28:20destroys
00:28:21marriages,
00:28:21strains,
00:28:21finances,
00:28:22and profits
00:28:23a lot of
00:28:24people,
00:28:24of course,
00:28:24sadly,
00:28:25through the
00:28:25state in
00:28:25general.
00:28:31If you've
00:28:32been wrestling
00:28:32with an
00:28:34autistic guy
00:28:35the size of
00:28:35a linebacker
00:28:36for the last
00:28:3620 years,
00:28:37or 30 years,
00:28:38or 40 years,
00:28:38or more,
00:28:40and you find
00:28:40out that there
00:28:41was information
00:28:42that had
00:28:43causality that
00:28:44was ignored,
00:28:44oh my god.
00:28:45it's wild.
00:28:51It's wild.
00:29:00And what would
00:29:01the punishment
00:29:02for all of that
00:29:02be if it turns
00:29:03out that there
00:29:04was some,
00:29:05and I've read
00:29:06the stories
00:29:07about the
00:29:08correlations
00:29:10that the
00:29:12MMR vaccines,
00:29:13and I don't
00:29:13know if any
00:29:13of this is
00:29:14true,
00:29:14because everything
00:29:15is so partisan
00:29:16in this area
00:29:17that it's hard
00:29:17to say,
00:29:18right?
00:29:18I mean,
00:29:19I remember
00:29:19back in
00:29:20COVID,
00:29:20people were
00:29:20like,
00:29:21oh,
00:29:21everyone who
00:29:22takes a
00:29:22jab is
00:29:22going to be
00:29:22dead in
00:29:23two years,
00:29:23and this is
00:29:23terrible,
00:29:24right?
00:29:24that there
00:29:31was these
00:29:32studies that
00:29:33were burned
00:29:34about the
00:29:35MMR and
00:29:35its relationship
00:29:36to autism
00:29:38and so on,
00:29:38and I don't
00:29:39know,
00:29:39I'm not
00:29:40putting this
00:29:40forward as
00:29:40if I know,
00:29:41I don't
00:29:42know,
00:29:42I don't
00:29:42know.
00:29:44People are
00:29:45desperate for
00:29:45answers,
00:29:46but the
00:29:47answers are
00:29:47not being
00:29:47gathered,
00:29:48and as I
00:29:49said before,
00:29:50when the
00:29:50answers aren't
00:29:51being gathered,
00:29:52it is my
00:29:52deep belief
00:29:53that people
00:29:54have the
00:29:54answers,
00:29:55they just
00:30:01don't want
00:30:01to release
00:30:02them for
00:30:04various reasons.
00:30:06It would
00:30:07be one of
00:30:15the most
00:30:15staggering
00:30:17crimes in
00:30:18the history
00:30:19of the
00:30:19world.
00:30:22Beggars
00:30:23believe
00:30:24beggars
00:30:24imagination,
00:30:26if it
00:30:27turns out
00:30:27that there
00:30:28is a
00:30:28causality,
00:30:30and it's
00:30:30not just
00:30:31better
00:30:31diagnosis,
00:30:32otherwise it
00:30:33would be
00:30:33showing up
00:30:34among older
00:30:34people too,
00:30:35which it's
00:30:35not,
00:30:35it's only
00:30:35among the
00:30:36young.
00:30:41It would
00:30:42be so
00:30:44staggering,
00:30:45it would
00:30:45produce some
00:30:47fairly general
00:30:47massive
00:30:49psychological
00:30:50destabilization
00:30:51in the
00:30:52population
00:30:52is all
00:30:53that's
00:30:55the big
00:30:56lie,
00:30:56right?
00:30:57And there
00:30:58have been
00:30:58studies that
00:30:58bombard people
00:30:59with fear
00:31:00messages for
00:31:01a month or
00:31:01two and
00:31:01they'll
00:31:02almost believe
00:31:03anything and
00:31:03you almost
00:31:04can't talk
00:31:04them out of
00:31:04it afterwards.
00:31:14Yeah,
00:31:14it's,
00:31:15I mean,
00:31:22it would be,
00:31:23it could be,
00:31:23it could be,
00:31:24I don't know,
00:31:24it could be.
00:31:26You know,
00:31:26like the 2020
00:31:27Summer of Love,
00:31:28the George Floyd
00:31:28riots and so on.
00:31:29if it turns
00:31:30out,
00:31:31if it turns
00:31:31out that
00:31:32there has
00:31:32been a
00:31:33causality
00:31:33that's been
00:31:34known but
00:31:34it's been
00:31:34hidden between
00:31:35environmental
00:31:36factor X and
00:31:37autism,
00:31:38it can't be
00:31:38genetic,
00:31:39you can't
00:31:40get an
00:31:40epidemic
00:31:40increasing
00:31:41this rapidly
00:31:42based upon
00:31:42genetics,
00:31:43you can't
00:31:44mutate
00:31:44genetics that
00:31:45quickly.
00:31:46So if it
00:31:46turns out,
00:31:47if it turns
00:31:48out that
00:31:48it's,
00:31:49I don't
00:31:49know,
00:31:51some Van
00:31:51Hellen
00:31:52belt,
00:31:52solar
00:31:52radiation,
00:31:53whatever,
00:31:53something that
00:31:54would make
00:31:54no sense,
00:31:55some people
00:31:55had never
00:31:56thought of,
00:31:56okay,
00:31:56well,
00:31:57I'm glad
00:31:58we know,
00:31:58but nobody's
00:31:59really to
00:31:59blame,
00:31:59right?
00:32:01But if it
00:32:01turns out
00:32:01that there
00:32:02has been
00:32:02information
00:32:03that has
00:32:04been kept
00:32:04from the
00:32:04public
00:32:04about
00:32:05this
00:32:05stuff,
00:32:06I mean,
00:32:11I think
00:32:11there will
00:32:12be staggering
00:32:13levels of
00:32:13violence.
00:32:19Of course,
00:32:20by climate
00:32:20change.
00:32:21Oof,
00:32:23bitter but
00:32:23mildly
00:32:24funny.
00:32:27Yeah,
00:32:28and of
00:32:28course,
00:32:29this is
00:32:29the
00:32:29challenge,
00:32:30so
00:32:30Robert F.
00:32:33Kennedy Jr.
00:32:33was talking
00:32:33about how
00:32:34autistic kids
00:32:36don't get
00:32:37jobs,
00:32:38they don't
00:32:38write,
00:32:38and of
00:32:38course,
00:32:38not talking
00:32:39about this
00:32:39high-functioning
00:32:40autism and
00:32:40so on,
00:32:40or as we
00:32:41used to
00:32:41say in
00:32:41England,
00:32:42eccentric,
00:32:42eccentric.
00:32:44But,
00:32:45of course,
00:32:45people are
00:32:45like,
00:32:46well,
00:32:46my autistic
00:32:47kid is
00:32:47high-functioning.
00:32:48It's like,
00:32:49yes,
00:32:50and some
00:32:51people get a
00:32:51little bit of
00:32:52skin cancer
00:32:52on their
00:32:52nose,
00:32:53and they
00:32:54get it cut
00:32:54away,
00:32:54and they're
00:32:54fine,
00:32:55and they
00:32:55say,
00:32:55cancer's
00:32:56nothing.
00:32:56It's like,
00:32:57your cancer
00:32:57was nothing.
00:32:59It's not
00:32:59that everyone's
00:33:00cancer is
00:33:00nothing.
00:33:06And I
00:33:06remember
00:33:07reading this,
00:33:08oh,
00:33:08it just broke
00:33:09my heart,
00:33:09I can't even
00:33:09remember,
00:33:10I read this
00:33:10probably 15
00:33:11years ago.
00:33:12It was a
00:33:13blog by a
00:33:14woman,
00:33:15and it was
00:33:15like living
00:33:16with a
00:33:17very big,
00:33:20strong,
00:33:20impulsive,
00:33:23low-self-control
00:33:24autistic teen,
00:33:25and she said,
00:33:26you know,
00:33:26the first
00:33:2645 minutes
00:33:27of my
00:33:27day is
00:33:27just trying
00:33:28to hold
00:33:28him down
00:33:28so I
00:33:28can brush
00:33:29his teeth.
00:33:35That's
00:33:36vivid to
00:33:38me.
00:33:44But the
00:33:44idea that
00:33:45there could
00:33:46be people
00:33:47in the
00:33:47world
00:33:48who
00:33:50would be
00:33:52willing,
00:33:53and again,
00:33:53whether it's
00:33:54true,
00:33:54we'll find
00:33:55out,
00:33:55we'll find
00:33:55out,
00:33:55maybe we
00:33:56will,
00:33:56maybe we
00:33:56won't,
00:33:57I think
00:33:57we probably
00:33:57will,
00:33:57I think
00:33:58he's
00:33:58really
00:33:58dedicated
00:33:58on this,
00:34:00but the
00:34:00very idea
00:34:01that there
00:34:01could be
00:34:02people in
00:34:02the world
00:34:02who would
00:34:08be willing
00:34:09what's
00:34:09to allow for
00:34:09need to
00:34:10be able to
00:34:11need to
00:34:12need to
00:34:13touch on
00:34:13the
00:34:13vaccine
00:34:15and hide,
00:34:18if it turns
00:34:19out to be
00:34:19true,
00:34:19the connection
00:34:20that vaccines
00:34:22have significant
00:34:23impact on
00:34:24autism,
00:34:25or the
00:34:25vaccine schedule,
00:34:26or the 74
00:34:27vaccines,
00:34:28or whatever it
00:34:28is now,
00:34:30including
00:34:30ones for,
00:34:33what is that,
00:34:34HPV,
00:34:34is it?
00:34:35No, not HPV.
00:34:37The one where you can only get it from sex and dirty needles.
00:34:44I mean, we know that there are sociopaths and psychopaths in the world, of course, right?
00:34:50But the idea that there would be large numbers of people
00:34:54who would be willing to allow for the continued injection of the young
00:35:01with this kind of risk.
00:35:06Is autism out of control in the US only, or is it all over the world too?
00:35:10Hep C, thank you.
00:35:19It is not all over the world.
00:35:24It's not all over the world.
00:35:25Well, and I have read, although I'm not sure because I've read two versions, you know.
00:35:39One is that there's no autism among the Amish because they don't do vaccines, right?
00:35:47And then I've looked that up and said, no, no, there are autism rates in the Amish equivalent to
00:35:55the general population.
00:36:00Let's see here.
00:36:04Yeah, so autism is present among the Amish community,
00:36:09with studies indicating that the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder
00:36:12is comparable to that in non-Amish populations.
00:36:14Factors such as cultural beliefs and limited access to health care
00:36:19may influence the diagnosis and recognition of autism within these.
00:36:22Yeah, they might consider them touched by God or something like that, right?
00:36:36And then John Hookway on Brainwave.watch writes,
00:36:40several key studies have examined autism rates in Amish communities.
00:36:43One early study in Pennsylvania by a research group from Johns Hopkins University
00:36:46found only three cases of autism out of almost 10,000 Amish children surveyed.
00:36:51One in 3,000 compared to about one in 150 for the general U.S. population at the time.
00:36:56A follow-up study by the same group looked at almost 16,000 Amish children
00:37:00in Indiana found only 11 cases of autism.
00:37:03But these relied on educational and medical records rather than direct clinical assessments.
00:37:10Some milder cases may have been missed.
00:37:12And they also may be reluctant to seek a diagnosis and so on.
00:37:18And more recent studies have attempted to directly screen and diagnose Amish children.
00:37:22A 2016 study assessed almost 300 Amish children in Ohio
00:37:25and found four cases of autism, a rate of around 1 in 75.
00:37:34So, I don't know.
00:37:38I don't know.
00:37:39So, we'll see.
00:37:48We'll see.
00:37:50I mean, because I've also read, you know, people saying,
00:37:51oh, well, the only people who have autism in the Amish communities
00:37:54are those who were adopted in from outside who actually got vaccinated.
00:37:57And I don't know.
00:37:58I don't know.
00:38:00I don't know.
00:38:00I mean, I was taking the fun to do the research myself.
00:38:11But no, there are places where autism appears to be lower.
00:38:15But, again, whether that's diagnosis or not,
00:38:18but I mean, is it now in California, 1 in 12.5 boys?
00:38:36I mean, this is, it's beyond shocking that this is just not a massive crisis and catastrophe.
00:38:44Thank you for your tips, of course, freedomain.com slash donate to help out the show.
00:38:52And, as I've said before, and I'm sorry to keep harping on this,
00:38:54it's just one of the things that it really is cooking in my brain quite a bit
00:38:57is the fact that there's just, that people are not moving heaven and earth
00:39:07to find the source of this.
00:39:14Yeah, so autism rates vary significantly across the globe.
00:39:19About 1 in 100 children are affected worldwide.
00:39:23US, South Korea, higher rates, 1 in 36, 1 in 38.
00:39:28And, let's see, put 100,000.
00:39:37Let's see, what's considered low of Bangladesh.
00:39:43That's probably some diagnostic stuff there.
00:39:46594 goes all the way up to Singapore with 1460.
00:39:49So, Singapore apparently is higher.
00:39:51That's interesting.
00:39:52Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Brunei, Australia, New Zealand, Canada,
00:39:55and Chile, US, and Ireland are sort of among the highest.
00:40:00But this is 2021.
00:40:04Interesting.
00:40:04I mean, let's see here.
00:40:08So, of course, Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Brunei.
00:40:11South Korea and Japan, of course, a very high IQ population.
00:40:15Some of the highest IQ populations really in the world.
00:40:18And maybe there's more destabilization with whatever environmental factor is happening.
00:40:22Maybe it destabilizes more higher IQ populations.
00:40:26Or, James says, I'm reminded of thalidomide and leaded gasoline.
00:40:36Except this is clearly different if true.
00:40:38Yeah.
00:40:39It took a while for them to figure that stuff out, too.
00:40:40So, thalidomide, I think there was 800 severely mutated kids,
00:40:55like kids born with flippers and all kinds of terrible stuff.
00:40:59Thalidomide was a drug that was there to help women with morning sickness.
00:41:05And, um, also used to treat a number of cancers and so on.
00:41:15But, uh, I was first developed as a tranquilizer.
00:41:22More than 10,000 children around the world born with a range of severe deformities
00:41:26and thousands of miscarriages.
00:41:35Oof.
00:41:36And I think in America this was responsible for the foundation of the FDA,
00:41:42if I understand this correctly.
00:41:46But in the U.S.
00:41:47Oh, no, sorry.
00:41:48The U.S.
00:41:48The FDA refused to approval to market thalidomide.
00:41:52Saying that further studies...
00:41:53So, thalidomide was, um...
00:42:03Oh, no, so only 17 children were born in the U.S.
00:42:06with thalidomide-associated deformities.
00:42:20But it's funny, right?
00:42:21I mean, the dangers of more recently developed medications versus this.
00:42:28Wild.
00:42:29And this was, you know, pulled very, very quickly.
00:42:37Yeah, it was a medication for anxiety, trouble, sleeping, tension, and morning sickness.
00:42:42It was introduced as a sedative and medication for morning sickness
00:42:45without having been tested on pregnant women.
00:42:47Initially deemed to be safe in pregnancy, concerns regarding birth defects were noted in 1961.
00:42:52The medication was removed from the market in Europe that year.
00:42:54All right.
00:43:05Let's get back to your questions and comments.
00:43:11Just Grockett.
00:43:13I mean, I think Grockett is a great AI, but Grockett is...
00:43:16Grockett is, I mean, I've done a whole presentation on this.
00:43:22Thanks, Jared.
00:43:23On the two presentations on AI that...
00:43:26It's a word guesser, and it's very sophisticated, it's very intelligent, it's very...
00:43:30Sorry, intelligent.
00:43:31It's very good at pattern recognition and so on.
00:43:33I played around with something today, earlier today, which I thought was interesting, with regards to AI.
00:43:43So, as you know, I have a general theory that socialists, it tends to be kind of a younger sibling phenomenon.
00:43:54And that the running to authority to redistribute resources is something that younger siblings do in order to survive.
00:44:06So, what I did was I wanted to do some math behind this.
00:44:12Look at me getting all fancy with the math.
00:44:14So, I asked for 20 socialists, 20 famous socialists.
00:44:25And I asked, if it was not correlated to birth order, and I'm not saying that it is, but I mean, we're looking for evidence that it might be.
00:44:34So, if socialist tendencies are not correlated to birth order, then it should be a correlation of zero, right?
00:44:45It doesn't matter where you are in the birth order.
00:44:48It doesn't matter where you are in the birth order, you're equally likely to become a socialist or not.
00:44:53So, what I did was I asked it to look at 20 socialists, and the reason I did that was that it was tough to find information for more.
00:45:03At least, that's what I was complaining about.
00:45:06And so, in the birth order distribution of 20 famous socialists, we tossed out the only child.
00:45:13But at the firstborn, there's only two of the 20, so 10%.
00:45:17Secondborn, six.
00:45:18Thirdborn or later is 11 or 55%.
00:45:23So, of the 19 individuals with siblings who were socialists, 14 or 73.7 had a birth order numerically higher than their family's average.
00:45:34They were later born closer to the youngest.
00:45:38Does that make sense?
00:45:42So, that's significant.
00:45:46It should be 50%, right?
00:45:50If it's random, right?
00:45:51Then they should be 50% higher, 50% lower.
00:45:54It should just be at 50%.
00:45:55That's a pretty big correlation.
00:45:58So, it's almost 74%.
00:46:00Almost 74% of the socialists are significantly, well, are younger than the average.
00:46:05They're at the lower end of the birth order.
00:46:07And that's interesting.
00:46:16So, for AI, I mean, to do that kind of work would have been quite, would have been at least a couple of days.
00:46:22And Grok did it in 10 minutes or so.
00:46:26Oh, somebody says, there's a good documentary on thalidomide called No Limits.
00:46:40Oh, you said you worked with someone who was a child with a drug.
00:46:48Her limb's far too short.
00:46:49Did I read that?
00:46:50Interesting theory.
00:46:55In my family, my youngest sister is socialist-leaning, if not an outright socialist.
00:47:00Second of four, older twin.
00:47:02I mean, to me, it's really fascinating that you can just go and query AI and get it to just plug through this kind of stuff.
00:47:15The barrier to entry to get this kind of research is really low.
00:47:20All right.
00:47:30So, here's what's interesting as well.
00:47:35Two centuries after the French Revolution, descendants of aristocratic families are nine times more likely to get into prestigious universities.
00:47:43The French Revolution did not change rates of intergenerational mobility in France.
00:47:52The French Revolution did not cause an increase in the rate of change of total intergenerational mobility.
00:47:57The rate of change was unchanged despite revolution.
00:48:01Because it has a lot to do with IQ.
00:48:04And revolution, I mean, you may kill off some of the smarter people, but it doesn't change the sort of fundamental metrics in society.
00:48:12Now, okay, let me ask you this.
00:48:23Let me ask you this.
00:48:25How many galaxies are there?
00:48:29Galaxy brain question.
00:48:31How many galaxies are there?
00:48:34The number always blows my mind.
00:48:42Don't look it up.
00:48:43He said, looking it up.
00:48:44I'm just double-checking here.
00:48:47And this is the known universe.
00:48:49Everything that you can see going back 14 billion years and change, I suppose, right?
00:48:54This is absolutely astonishing.
00:49:04Because this is world of engineering.
00:49:05The known universe, they write, is made up of 50 billion galaxies.
00:49:11But recent estimates, like those from the Hubble Extreme Deep Field, suggest around 2 trillion galaxies.
00:49:232 trillion galaxies.
00:49:27And each of those galaxies are home to billions of planets.
00:49:29Which, you know, I mean, because the reason that they haven't visited is it just takes forever to get anywhere, right?
00:49:40Billions and billions.
00:49:44Man, I dislike Carl Sagan.
00:49:47In a deep, powerful, and passionate way.
00:49:50In my gut, I really dislike Carl Sagan.
00:49:52Woke, socialist.
00:50:04Somebody says, I've heard podcasts between two AIs, almost convincing that they're human too.
00:50:09Agreeable, influenced.
00:50:11Biogic.
00:50:13What does biogic mean?
00:50:15B, unless it's a typo.
00:50:21Yeah, it's a typo.
00:50:22Okay.
00:50:23You mean logic?
00:50:24I don't know.
00:50:25I don't know what you mean.
00:50:27Something agig.
00:50:30You know, it is, for those of us of a certain age,
00:50:34it does seem to be an absolutely insurmountable temptation
00:50:38that when any large number about the universe is plugged into our brains,
00:50:42we simply have to regurgitate billions and billions.
00:50:46Which I don't think he actually said.
00:50:47I don't think he actually said it.
00:50:57Oh, he wrote.
00:50:58He wrote a book.
00:50:58Oh, to help viewers of cost must distinguish between millions and billions.
00:51:20He stressed the billions.
00:51:21Oh yeah, that's right.
00:51:24The public's association of billions and billions comes from a Tonight Show skit.
00:51:31Parodying Sagan's effect, Johnny Carson quipped billions and billions.
00:51:36The phrase has now become a humorous, fictitious unit, the Sagan.
00:51:39Was he was a socialist, right?
00:51:49I think so.
00:52:00Yes, that's right.
00:52:01A Sagan who was politically active throughout the 1980s
00:52:10is an opponent of the nuclear arms race and Ronald Reagan's SDI of Star Wars
00:52:14argues that the U.S. is unique from other wealthy countries
00:52:16in its unwillingness to care for and invest in its own citizens.
00:52:20The United States is perfectly able to do that.
00:52:22He says it chooses not to.
00:52:23He argues for investing in policies like free tuition at public universities,
00:52:32universal health care, decreasing the defense budget.
00:52:37So yeah, straight up, inevitable, public intellectual, socialist, wet rag,
00:52:44billions and billions of cells combined to slaughter your freedom, socialist.
00:52:49Douche ward.
00:52:53Let's see here.
00:53:10That was Bernie Sanders.
00:53:11No, he sounded like Bernie Sanders.
00:53:15When I hear billions and billions, I think Trump.
00:53:20He was a socialist.
00:53:21I just saw the video in school and contact movie was good.
00:53:23Um, yeah, he did complain that Star Wars was full of white actors.
00:53:39Um, I mean, a lot of scientists and physicists in particular are drawn to socialism
00:53:46because they, they don't get free will.
00:53:51It's hard for a physicist to get free will.
00:53:53I mean, we can understand it philosophically, but, you know, looking at the ad,
00:53:57they look at atoms and energy and they, they don't see a ghost in the machine, right?
00:54:00So they think that human beings are closer to rocks, minerals, or livestock,
00:54:07so they need to be cared for and all of that, right?
00:54:08I mean, I mean, if you want to see something really gross.
00:54:22Yeah.
00:54:23He, uh, he, uh, he, uh, he praised, he praised Lenin.
00:54:30Absolutely praised Lenin.
00:54:33Uh, he said, uh, Albert Einstein said, uh, I honor Lenin as a man who completely sacrificed himself
00:54:38and devoted all his energy to the realization of social justice.
00:54:41I do not consider his methods practical, but one thing is certain men of his type are the guardians
00:54:47and restorers of humanity.
00:54:48And, uh, as proportion of the population goes that, uh, Lenin murdered or set into the motion,
00:55:02the murder of, uh, Pol Pot levels, just absolutely murderous and monstrous.
00:55:08Absolutely murderous and monstrous.
00:55:09And, uh, it doesn't matter.
00:55:11Nobody cares.
00:55:12Nobody cares because he's got funky hair.
00:55:14Okay.
00:55:18And he stuck out his tongue.
00:55:33Uh, MasterCard.
00:55:35MasterCard is working to that.
00:55:36It's over one billion users spend Bitcoin and crypto from the Bitcoin historian.
00:55:40This is not priced in.
00:55:48And the poor dad of, um, was it Austin Butler?
00:56:02No.
00:56:12I am having no memory for these things.
00:56:15Yeah, I'm going to do it.
00:56:24Anyway, yeah.
00:56:24But the, the, uh, the guy, the young black fellow who stabbed the twin, he, um, Austin
00:56:35Metcalf, yeah, Carmelo Anthony, um, yeah, Carmelo Anthony, I think they were doing a press
00:56:40conference and Austin Metcalf's dad showed up and they kind of ordered him out or dragged
00:56:44them out or pulled them out or something like that.
00:56:48Oof.
00:56:49It's just, it's going to go so badly.
00:56:51All of this stuff is going to go so badly.
00:56:53I don't think by accident.
00:56:55Certainly not by accident, I would assume.
00:57:10All right.
00:57:10Let's get to other questions.
00:57:11All right.
00:57:14Yeah, this is, uh, RFK, um, he says, in 1987, out of every one million kids, 330 were diagnosed
00:57:25with autism.
00:57:26Today there are 27,777 for every million.
00:57:30The epidemic is real and it's time for everybody to stop attributing to this ideology of epidemic
00:57:35denial.
00:57:36We know it's an environmental exposure.
00:57:37Genes do not cause epidemics.
00:57:38They can provide a vulnerability, but you need an environmental toxin.
00:57:41We're going to announce a series of new studies to identify precisely what the environmental
00:57:46toxins are that are causing it.
00:57:47We're going to look at all the potential culprits.
00:57:49We're going to look at mold, food additives, pesticides, air and water, and medicines.
00:57:52We will have some of the answers by September.
00:58:02Did you also know?
00:58:06This was, as of yesterday, 50 years ago, Pol Pot's forces entered the Cambodian capital,
00:58:14Phnom Penh, ushering in perhaps the most insanely murderous regime in all of human history.
00:58:18Per capita, they did this to the cheers and satisfaction of Western left intellectualism.
00:58:25Malcolm Caldwell was a communist who went out to visit Pol Pot and ended up just getting
00:58:29shot.
00:58:29The Khmer Rouge, if you've seen The Killing Fields, I mean, it's just hell on earth.
00:58:40Michael Naina wrote, many of his fans wouldn't know that the famous intellectual Noam Chomsky
00:58:44was responsible for casting doubt on the first reports of the Khmer Rouge atrocities.
00:58:50He didn't deny the killings outright, but his skepticism muddied the waters at a critical
00:58:54moment.
00:58:55In 1977, Chomsky co-wrote an article in The Nation questioning refugee testimonies and
00:59:06accusing Western media of exaggerating claims against the regime.
00:59:12Chomsky favorably cited Cambodia, Starvation and Revolution by Hildebrand and Porter, a book
00:59:16criticized for repeating Khmer Rouge propaganda, while dismissing Year Zero by François Panchot,
00:59:22the first major account of the genocide, despite not fully reading it.
00:59:25It doesn't matter.
00:59:31People don't care.
00:59:32You can minimize the crimes of one of the most murderous regimes in history.
00:59:40Nobody cares.
00:59:41In After the Cataclysm in 1979, Chomsky again downplayed reports of mass murder in Cambodia,
00:59:52writing that the slaughter was uncorroborated by any physical evidence and based on slender
00:59:56proof.
00:59:59He would later claim he never denied the atrocities, only questioned early evidence, but his framing
01:00:02provided ideological support for leftist allies like Malcolm Caldwell, a Scottish communist
01:00:07academic who admired both Chomsky and Pol Pot.
01:00:18Given his profile at the time, Chomsky's skepticism played a role in delaying recognition of the
01:00:23Khmer Rouge's systematic torture and mass murder, crimes have killed up to two million people.
01:00:27I like this, you know, the progressive and more intelligent meme.
01:00:51You're fired.
01:00:52Your employment is hereby terminated.
01:00:54You're a jobant.
01:00:56You're promoted to customer.
01:00:59That's pretty funny.
01:01:00I just wanted to remind you as well, this is a post, friendly reminder that there's a
01:01:12likely chance that the person you're thinking about going back and forth with who commented
01:01:16something ridiculous in your post didn't properly comprehend what you originally wrote.
01:01:2221% of adults in the U.S. read below a fifth grade level.
01:01:2519% of high school graduates in the U.S. can't read.
01:01:2842 million U.S. adults can't read past a fifth grade level.
01:01:3250% of adults in the U.S. can't read a book written at an eighth grade level.
01:01:47All right.
01:01:54This gets back to your questions and comments.
01:01:56I've not debated Noam Chomsky.
01:01:59I had him on the show twice.
01:02:00This is before I really found out about this kind of history.
01:02:06Let's see here.
01:02:07Will there be new riots over the Metcalf incident?
01:02:19Oh, yeah, I think so.
01:02:24All right.
01:02:25I have a question with a comment to start.
01:02:27The free domain AIs are amazing.
01:02:29The more I use them, the more I'm blown away by them.
01:02:31The question I have is, where do they get their information inquiries from?
01:02:36Using the call-in AI earlier, it was amazing, but it was giving advice and asking questions
01:02:41I wouldn't have expected in the call-in.
01:02:43Well, we load, we've got some transcripts and we load me and the callers into the AI and
01:02:50let it do its magical deep brain cooking.
01:02:53So, Steph, you do lots of help with callers dealing with the past and the present.
01:03:01Would you do calls, future planning too, regarding future planning?
01:03:05Yeah.
01:03:06If you, I mean, a lot of the calls that I'm doing around the future tend to be private
01:03:12because people are talking about their sort of future plans, want to keep it a little
01:03:14bit off the web as a whole.
01:03:15But, freedomain.com slash call to help it out.
01:03:23And if you want to sign up for private, you're certainly welcome to do that.
01:03:26You can do a public call, they're free, whatever you like.
01:03:33And cleaning up the past does a lot to help, of course, with the future.
01:03:37Sorry, that's kind of an obvious thing to say, but I'd like to mention it anyway.
01:03:41Indulge me.
01:03:42Just this once.
01:03:45There's a potential signature of life that's been found on an exoplanet.
01:03:58I have doubt.
01:04:00Whatever that's worth.
01:04:00I have some doubt.
01:04:07Exoplanet K2-18b.
01:04:08It's 124 light years away in the constellation Leo.
01:04:12The James Webb Space Telescope detected dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide, molecules
01:04:21associated with life on Earth.
01:04:24And it's 2.6 times larger than our planet, lies in the stars, the Goldilocks zone, the
01:04:29habitable zone, and maybe a high-seeing world with a global ocean and hydrogen-rich atmosphere.
01:04:34Now, the DMS detection is debated.
01:04:38It can also form abiotically, like not from life, as seen on a comet, which I'm not going
01:04:45to pronounce.
01:04:47So, we'll see.
01:04:49We'll see.
01:04:50As the joke goes, as soon as life is discovered there, I'm sure the American government will
01:04:54start sending it foreign aid.
01:04:55Somebody wrote, in a six-year-long study of 13,146 first-graders in four different U.S.
01:05:11regions, researchers found that a minimum of 3.1% and possibly up to 9.9% had some level
01:05:18or type of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.
01:05:21Drinking while pregnant is not a joke.
01:05:23Don't do it.
01:05:25All right.
01:05:42Let's see if I have any other last questions or comments.
01:05:45I best hope they don't discover oil there yet.
01:05:47Oh, you've called in before?
