In this episode, we talk about the latest in the Ukraine crisis, the Freedom Convoy making its way to the Middle East, and the latest conspiracy theory about Rachel Dolezal. We also hear from James Lindsay of Critical Race Theory and Seamus of Freedom Tunes.
00:00:00.000It's been nothing but Ukraine war, Russia war, Ukraine, man it's crazy.
00:00:15.000There's other stuff going on in the world, but this one does seem to be the most pressing.
00:00:19.000We do have the Freedom Convoy making its way, and we do have a bunch of other crazy stories, too, but, uh... Man, I've been looking back at all the news, and it's just endless talk of what's going on in Ukraine because, obviously, people keep saying World War III.
00:00:31.000The latest, Russia has apparently blocked access to Facebook.
00:00:34.000So it's like, as all these companies say, we're going to censor you or sanction you.
00:00:41.000But it does feel like Russia is becoming increasingly more isolated because even China seems to be backing off a little bit.
00:00:47.000Brazil and India are kind of like, yo, we're neutral on this one.
00:00:49.000So I don't know if Russia will be able to hang out for much longer, but I do think they may end up winning at least their objectives here.
00:00:57.000Now, Donald Trump has come out and said he told Putin and Xi he would nuke them if they went after Ukraine or Taiwan, and so basically he's confirming the story, which is crazy.
00:01:05.000And then we've got a bunch of other crazy stuff.
00:01:08.000One thing I really want to talk about tonight, there's this ad I got on Twitter for an artificial intelligence, like, girlfriend or friend.
00:01:16.000It doesn't say girlfriend, it says friend.
00:01:57.000So, you know, keeping up with things, traveling a lot, talking a lot, getting around the country, being the world's, I guess, foremost expert in critical race theory, as I've been billed.
00:02:06.000Smeagol must take names that he's given.
00:02:08.000Well, it makes the show seem more prestigious, you know?
00:02:54.000I have a YouTube channel called Freedom Tunes if y'all want to check that out.
00:02:57.000We released a cartoon yesterday on Joe Biden's State of the Union and we're Working on some tunes next week about the industrial military complex as well as the woke military training So I think you guys will like that go there subscribe stay tuned and also really excited for tonight's show Ian Crosland over here nothing too deep to report yet, but I am on board and reporting for duty
00:03:17.000I am stoked as well, because James knows how to talk and he knows what he's talking about.
00:03:20.000This is gonna be a great conversation tonight.
00:03:59.000We should make a game where it's kind of like Lemmings, but it's NPCs.
00:04:05.000So for those who don't know what Lemmings is, 30 little lemmings will walk around and walk back and forth, and you can assign tasks to them.
00:04:12.000So dig a hole, or block someone, or shoot rope across a gap or something.
00:04:31.000The mobile version's really weak because in the original game there was like 20 different jobs you could give them, and in the mobile version there's like four.
00:04:39.000I mean, there's actually maybe like seven or eight.
00:04:41.000Yeah, it's very strategic because you have a limited number of jobs you can assign, so like on some levels there can only be like three climbers or two diggers.
00:04:51.000Lemming is a fun game, we should make it, and PCs.
00:04:52.000Alright, before we get started talking about, you know, more serious stuff, but probably not, go to TimCast.com, become a member, help support the work of all of our journalists as well as everyone on this show.
00:05:01.000We are principally supported by website memberships.
00:05:04.000You know, we started this site a year ago, just over a year ago, and it was funny because for the longest time I was like, We rely too heavily on YouTube, on ads, and that is a huge weakness, especially with activists going crazy.
00:05:16.000And so we set up the website, which has become our main way that we fund and maintain this operation, which gives us a lot of leeway and provides us that safety net.
00:05:26.000And it also allowed us to create an editorial department where we write articles and do our own sourcing and our own fact-checking and our own original reporting.
00:06:26.000But it is, truth be told, Twitter and Facebook are still pretty good, despite all of the bad.
00:06:31.000And therein lies the real challenge, the ability for regular people to actually have a voice, even if they do face censorship.
00:06:37.000And that's why we resist the censorship here, because the power granted to the people by these platforms was good.
00:06:43.000And now they're trying to take it back because they realize they made a mistake.
00:06:46.000Well, I'm generally against censorship.
00:06:49.000I generally agree with what you just said.
00:06:52.000The only really kind of interesting thing, I don't know that it's even directly connected to this, the only really interesting thing that I think, I tweeted this this morning, I think people got really mad about it, is that one of the utilities of Facebook in particular, more than Twitter, but Twitter has this too, is if you have some controversial narrative thing going on, some controversial activity, whether it's Ukraine, whether it's a virus, whatever it is, One epistemological tool, to sound very philosophical, that's emerged in the past few years is whatever Facebook will ban is probably true.
00:07:25.000So if you want to find out what's going on with Ukraine or with a virus or with the World Economic Forum or whatever it is...
00:07:33.000Or as a critical race theory, you probably need to just post some edgy stuff on Facebook and see what they ban.
00:07:38.000You've got to add a little bit of that age to your impersonation.
00:07:54.000I hear what you're saying about the utility of Facebook in that sense.
00:07:56.000It's also true of the fact-checkers that they're in bed with.
00:07:59.000I found them incredibly useful in the past.
00:08:01.000I remember there was one instance about two years ago where I was doing research on a video about the scandal with Biden's son in Ukraine and the investigator being fired by Joe Biden effectively because he said he would withhold aid to their country.
00:08:15.000And one of the fact checkers that I found, and I was looking up, I wanted to look up debunkings of this to see how strong the argument against the potential for foul play was.
00:08:24.000And the response was, well, it's true that Joe Biden told them to withhold the funding for Ukraine unless they fired this prosecutor, but that was the official policy of the Obama administration in general.
00:08:35.000It's like, oh, right, because Biden had nothing to do, the vice president of the administration had nothing to do with the policy of the Obama administration.
00:08:42.000No, no, no, no, but think about that for a few seconds.
00:08:44.000Yes, Joe Biden did try to push an illegal quid pro quo, but Obama told him to do it.
00:08:49.000So it's like, okay, well, pens have done this and then it would have been okay.
00:08:53.000Like, cause Trump wanted it to happen.
00:08:54.000It's just hilarious because in these fact checks, they will always try to use their best argument against something, which in a number of cases is actually true and they reveal their hand in doing so.
00:09:03.000And so there was a lot of utility there.
00:10:20.000They're saying 40% of the day might be rain.
00:10:23.000I don't know if that's true That's why I've heard like people they've done these internet arguments.
00:10:26.000That's how you get a view the 93 to 7% thing with with BLM They're not saying of the 100 protests 93 were peaceful They're saying of the 100 protests, in all of them, 7% of the time was extreme violence.
00:10:39.000Which again conflicts with that I've cited on the show before, which is that 70% of major city police departments reported officers being injured during these protests, and you're telling me only 7% of them were violent?
00:10:51.000I think in combat, or in war, most of the time it's not combat.
00:10:54.000Then you have a burst of it, probably less than 7% of the time a soldier, even a combat soldier, is in combat.
00:11:01.0007% is a lot of time for destruction to be going on.
00:11:05.000Yeah, I mean That means there's like a good half hour out of the protest.
00:11:10.000Yes, smashing windows or burning down buildings.
00:11:13.000Not just buildings, you have to burn down buildings specifically in a poor black neighborhood for Black Lives Matter.
00:11:20.000Because insurance will take care of it.
00:11:21.000Because insurance means anyone can destroy anything for any reason and it'll be fine.
00:11:25.000We're talking about, like, if you have faith in the person, then you believe what they're saying, and if Trump says it, you're like, nah, he's lying.
00:11:32.000I came across this internet video last night of, you know, Aileen Waranos?
00:11:54.000And you're like, ah, this evil woman, you know.
00:11:56.000But then, they deepfake Kristina Pozitsky's face on it.
00:11:59.000Kristina P. Uh, the beautiful comedian.
00:12:02.000And it's this beautiful woman, it's still Eileen's story, but it's with a beautiful face.
00:12:07.000And you're like, I understand why you had a gun and why you were defending yourself.
00:12:11.000Because when you see a beautiful person saying it, it has a different meaning than an ugly person.
00:12:16.000It is terrifying to think that that is real.
00:12:19.000It's on Instagram, this guy Brian Monarch, his page.
00:12:23.000What does it have to do with what we're talking about?
00:12:24.000It's a deep fake of like, you're saying Biden says something and everyone's like, yeah, and then Trump does it and they're like, oh, it's evil.
00:12:31.000All of a sudden, but it's the same exact, and in this case, it's the exact Brian Monarch.
00:12:36.000It's her with a deep fake image, and it has a different meaning.
00:12:39.000It's very, well, and this is one of the huge problems, one of the many huge problems with Hollywood, but they're always casting extremely attractive people even to do completely reprehensible things.
00:13:36.000There's been a very—actually, I hate to maybe pin this on the guy because I thought he was funny too, but I call this the Jon Stewart effect.
00:13:44.000There's been a relentless campaign for a very long time to make conservatives bad, ugly, and stupid to the general population.
00:13:50.000So Trump is bad, ugly, and stupid by this metric.
00:13:53.000Bernie is a leftist, he's old, he's doing the best he can, he's got the right message, but this is repressive tolerance.
00:13:58.000Herbert Marcuse, a leading leftist or Marxist thinker of the 1960s, writes an essay in 1965 called Repressive Tolerance.
00:14:05.000The argument, and I kid you not, I don't exaggerate at all, the thesis statement of the argument is literally, movements from the left must be tolerated even when they're violent, movements from the right must not be extended tolerance at all.
00:14:17.000And so this is why you see that disparity.
00:15:35.000They're actually asserting, we are better people than you, we are smarter people than you, we are more moral people than you, and we are saner people than you.
00:15:42.000And therefore, you have to put up with all of our crap, And we're going to put up with literally none of your crap.
00:15:47.000And that's why you see that dichotomy of mostly true, mostly false, when it's literally the same statement from Trump and Bernie.
00:15:54.000This is why I get frustrated when I see Joe Rogan apologizing to these people.
00:17:27.000Not to give the guy advice, but... My attitude is, insult them, and if they counter, insult them again, and if they counter, keep insulting them and laugh while you do it.
00:17:37.000Well, and to your point, I mean, this is almost perfectly summarized by AOC's quote that she will be chastised for being factually inaccurate when she's morally correct.
00:17:50.000So even when they say something which is blatantly untrue, it's okay because their agenda is good and pure.
00:17:56.000And to bring her into it again, and bring it back to fact-checkers, there was a hysterical example where she said that she was in the main Capitol building during the quote-unquote insurrection, and she was not.
00:18:11.000No, she didn't say she was in the Capitol building.
00:18:43.000So I actually saw that, and I started looking at the timestamps and seeing what was going on, and then I said, at this time she was talking about this, this time, there's people standing around in the hallways of the congressional building, no one's worried, what is she talking about?
00:18:55.000I had a Huffington Post reporter tell me my timeline was wrong, and that I was actually showing video from the bomb threat.
00:19:01.000And I responded to them, that's the time frame that AOC claimed the guy was knocking on her door, which would mean the guy knocked on her door well before anyone breached the Capitol building.
00:19:11.000And this guy from the Huffington Post was like, oh yeah, you're right.
00:19:27.000Yeah, well, there was, there was, um, when she said she was at, so she had this whole story and I can't remember who it was, pointed out that it wasn't true.
00:19:36.000She wasn't at the Capitol building at the time.
00:19:43.000She said she was in a congressional office in a different building.
00:19:46.000And this was significant because the fact checkers started saying all the conservatives were wrong because she wasn't in the Capitol building.
00:19:53.000And then for me, I was like, I never said she was.
00:19:55.000I watched her Instagram 45-minute video or whatever and said she fabricated the story and I laid out the timelines.
00:20:01.000I'm surprised the conservatives didn't catch that she fabricated that story.
00:20:06.000They were criticizing her saying, well, but you know, she wasn't in the Capitol, but still it's an absurd story.
00:20:13.000It sounded like reading an article until you see the word you're looking for and then you stop reading.
00:20:17.000As soon as you get confirmation of what you think you wanted to see, then you're like, I don't need to research any further.
00:20:23.000They were saying that she was claiming she was scared, but she wasn't even in the Capitol building.
00:20:27.000The fact-checkers came out and said, yes, but there are tunnels connecting the Capitol to the congressional offices, so it's reasonable that she would be scared.
00:20:57.000Because I find that, I'm going to write this down actually, repressive tolerance.
00:21:01.000When you they try and basically it sounds like not eradicate the right but they're trying to preempt the right by making it so they don't even whatever that means the right that they don't even have thoughts they don't even think the thoughts what I'm finding is if you try and destroy part of a dichotomy it's like a magnet you have a north and a south and if you break it in half the new piece still has a north and a south so if you eradicate the right You're essentially creating a new left and a new right, and then you have to eradicate that right, which then creates a new left and a new right, which is ever smaller, and you're ripping society in half over and over again.
00:21:32.000Yeah, so he actually defines what the left is, as the people who want to have a whole new society.
00:21:44.000I would like the Constitution to be upheld.
00:21:48.000I would like the Federal Reserve to be, you know, not.
00:21:53.000I would like our system of governance to actually be representative.
00:21:57.000I would say that I consider myself to be particularly revolutionary in that our system is broken in a large variety of ways, and I think most Trump supporters agree with that.
00:22:06.000Yeah, that's because MAGA is class consciousness.
00:22:23.000Marx, it turns out, surprisingly, wasn't totally wrong.
00:22:27.000Marx believed that when capitalism reached an advanced enough stage, when it reached a late enough stage, it would seize so much control and become so corrupt That eventually the working class would awaken and realize, hey wait, we are being screwed over by the power elite, and we need to seize the means of production, etc.
00:22:49.000The problem was Marx thought what the working class would want is equity.
00:23:32.000And then he writes 30-something sentences about his financial problems and could you send a check to Engels when this love of his life died.
00:24:11.000When you actually... When you think about the universe and what it takes to create and survive and to maintain, You have a very different worldview but when you're born into luxury and you don't understand like it's it's it I view it as somebody who understands physics and they can they understand the building blocks of reality and physicists tend to then they have a general understanding of how things are connected and what you need to make a certain thing work.
00:24:36.000But then imagine you have like a fifth grade science teacher who doesn't know anything about physics because he's just got hired for the job and they put him in the science department and he doesn't understand what he's talking about.
00:24:45.000He's like, I should be able to do this and it should work and it doesn't.
00:24:48.000He doesn't understand the underlying principles that make a machine work.
00:24:51.000When you have people who are born into luxury, they don't understand the base components of existence, of an economy, of hard work, of what made the economy good, family structure, for instance.
00:25:00.000So they say, well, now that we're floating on top of this cloud, well above where all the worker bees are, You know, what do we want?
00:25:08.000If you grow up, if you develop your mind without seeing the hard work required to maintain, then you will not advocate for its maintenance.
00:25:17.000It's not hard to get food, it's just at the grocery store.
00:25:20.000And that's exactly what people said to me when I criticized UBI.
00:25:24.000When they were shutting down these stores from COVID, I actually had a guy tweet at me.
00:25:30.000I said, the dairy farms are dumping the dairy because they can't get the processing plants to take it because the processing plants can't get the plastic cartons and the cartons aren't being made.
00:26:18.000I'm not going to give any of these people the benefit of the doubt.
00:26:20.000When they advocate for something like universal basic income, To an extreme degree, because I understand there's some things that we could probably discuss in terms of that, but to an extreme degree, where it's like, you know, social distribution of all funding, and when I try to explain it to them, their argument is quite literally, UBI works because the food is just sitting there, and if I had the money, I could have it.
00:26:39.000And then I'm like, the money serves a purpose.
00:28:27.000I actually know the explanation for this outfit, but I don't want to tell people the explanation because it's funny to not know what it is.
00:28:34.000It is literally, there's some weird university in Europe that gave him a doctorate and that instead of the normal doctorate robes, that's what they wear.
00:29:01.000So Klaus Schwab is the chairman of the World Economic Forum.
00:29:04.000The World Economic Forum was his brainchild back in 1971.
00:29:09.000He comes up with this idea, the World Economic Forum.
00:29:10.000The idea is to bring big corporate leaders together with government leaders, with NGO leaders, with other movers and shakers, I guess, like Greta Thunberg, and get them to rub elbows in massive fancy ski resorts and these kind of I've been to Davos for the World Economic Forum.
00:29:26.000future society meetings that for very many years were famously held in Davos.
00:29:31.000I've been to Davos for the World Economic Forum.
00:30:27.000What he's literally doing is genetically engineering, him and his foundation I believe, genetically engineered mosquitoes that are like sterile so they can't reproduce or something.
00:30:37.000He's actually talked, I don't know how far the research is, he's actually talked about modifying mosquitoes to get them to deliver vaccines as well.
00:30:47.000I think he said that, but he actually bought a bunch of stock in the mosquito spray companies, so you know, everyone's gonna load up on that stuff.
00:30:54.000What's the difference between shareholder and stock?
00:30:57.000You know, I just want to point out that I'm well past the point of hearing something that sounds insane, and immediately saying it's insane, because we had Alex Jones on, and he told us we were eating cloned beef, and I was like, no we're not!
00:31:08.000And then I googled it, and it's just true.
00:31:10.000And then Luke Rudkowski was like, Bill Gates funded microchips for birth control for women.
00:31:39.000Stakeholder capitalism is that we replace shareholder decision-making with stakeholder decision-making.
00:31:44.000So, these are technocrats, experts, the experts, will tell us what the right environmental, social, and corporate governance policy, ESG policy, will be to run a company successfully in a sustainable and inclusive way.
00:32:00.000A stakeholder is somebody who represents people who they claim hold a stake in what comes out.
00:32:06.000So if an oil company, for instance, creates pollution either directly or indirectly by selling its product, there are climate experts who are going to be representative stakeholders that are going to dictate what that oil company can do and can't do.
00:32:19.000So the victims of corporate waste are the stakeholders in this situation?
00:32:53.000I didn't want to... I need your cat so I can... Yeah, I don't want to derail.
00:32:57.000So it's taking it away from the shareholders, which are the people that have stock in the companies, being like, I want the company to do this.
00:33:56.000And so, anyway, the point I wanted to raise was that in his book that he wrote in 2020,
00:34:06.000in June or July of 2020, called COVID-19.
00:34:10.000Let me say this very clearly, because it's a conspiracy theory.
00:34:14.000Klaus Schwab, who directs this gigantic future-facing world economic forum that has sought since 1971 to remake the world economy and all of its tools, Why did that book come out?
00:34:24.000the biggest world leaders in governance, corporations, and institutions to help do
00:34:29.000so in a yearly meeting, plus having thousands of employees or at least hundreds of employees
00:34:33.000worldwide. He wrote a book called, let me not stutter, COVID-19, The Great Reset.
00:34:41.000That's the title of the book. When did that book come out?
00:34:43.000In June or July of 2020. Seems quick, doesn't it?
00:35:28.000Everything he writes and says sounds to me virtually the same.
00:35:32.000He writes a lot of this kind of visionary pablum And then all of a sudden he has this one weird paragraph in each of his books, because I've read three of them, and it's like, that's why we need global cooperation and a world government to usher us through these dangerous changes that we're having that are coming so fast.
00:35:50.000And in this long-winded explanation of who Klaus Schwab is and where we go, and I was building up to this great reset book, I have to remember What was the point of what he said?
00:35:59.000Oh yeah, we were talking about this supply chain kind of universe.
00:36:06.000He's explaining at that point that what's going to happen is people are going to be so scared of pandemics that as we come out of 2021 or so, what we're going to face is a massive demand crisis.
00:36:17.000People won't be willing to engage in goods and services anymore.
00:36:20.000And so now we're going to have this problem where employers aren't going to be able to employ people.
00:36:26.000Because there's no demand for the products, because nobody wants to go back into a virus-ridden society, and they're all scared, and they're all hiding in their basements, like Joe Biden did before the election.
00:36:35.000And, as it turns out, we have the exact opposite problem.
00:36:38.000We're trying to pay kids 20-something bucks to flip burgers at McDonald's, and they won't do it.
00:37:04.000But this guy, for our technocratic experts, is the expert of the expert of the experts.
00:37:10.000He's the kingmaker among who gets to be these experts who are going to dictate everything.
00:37:14.000And as I was saying to Tim just a second ago, These guys have quite a track record of getting some pretty consequential shit wrong, as we've all seen over the last couple, three years, as we say in the South.
00:37:26.000Do you know, we read this quote once, and I can't remember the guy's name, but he said something to the effect of, if these leaders, you know, these elites believe that humans are so, you know, incapable, that they need special individuals who can lead them, what sets those people apart?
00:37:59.000I do believe that, obviously, at some point, you need to defer to authority on certain things, but we're not selecting people to be in positions of authority based on their moral character at all.
00:38:08.000In fact, we're told we shouldn't even account for that.
00:38:10.000We should just try to, like, look at their policies without questioning what kind of person they are.
00:38:15.000None of the people who are in charge of basically anything consequential have done anything that I think any of us would consider really morally impressive.
00:38:23.000Well, I mean, that's what these guys, this is the same thing that we already have been circling around a couple of times, is they see themselves as morally superior to everybody.
00:38:30.000They have, so Klaus's vision, if we're going to be as charitable to him as possible, is that the world has entered into a new phase because of high technology.
00:38:38.000Computers, AI, Um, automation and robots, synthetic biology, the capability apparently to unleash pandemics, which he ominously mentions in kind of weird ways throughout his books.
00:38:50.000I mean, like lots of these geoengineering, even like he casually mentions in one of his books, the great narrative, the newest one that maybe we'll just block out the sun to stop for a while to block the stop.
00:39:01.000Could a small nuclear war prevent global warming?
00:39:07.000And, you know, so they just casually flirt with these.
00:39:09.000He says, well, because of these changes that are coming to the world anyway, because of the rapid changes in technology, etc., what we need is people who are really informed about what these things mean to shepherd us through so they don't become calamities.
00:39:23.000like say COVID-19, they become something that we shepherd and use to the benefit of all.
00:39:29.000And then it's all, how do we get there? Global cooperation, global governance,
00:39:34.000who's going to be in charge of it? Well, my band, Mary Band of Experts, you know,
00:39:37.000we have climate experts, we have technology experts, we have AI experts, we have all these,
00:39:41.000like, like, what's it named? Harari or whatever, Yuval Harari, or whatever,
00:39:46.000we had a World Economic Forum video a couple, 2019, 18, something like this.
00:39:50.000And he's talking about, yeah, we're going to hack humans.
00:40:27.000Oh, God, this is under under the brand of social and emotional learning.
00:40:30.000They're constantly trying to learn more about the children so they can do the social emotional learning interventions or whatever it is, which turns out to be Maoism, by the way.
00:40:38.000But they're also making them fill out these surveys.
00:40:41.000And so they're constantly like, how much money do your parents make?
00:40:54.000And so they're filling out these things.
00:40:56.000And the goal is to create unique profiles for every single individual in society, very much like what we heard about whether real or not from Cambridge Analytica, where they were using personality profiles and then injecting that into people's social media to influence their voting habits.
00:42:35.000But then they walk through a force field, and the town is normal, and they're like, there really does exist a town here with regular people.
00:42:41.000They begin talking to people, and asking about their way of life, and they say, you know, there's just about a thousand of us who live here, our planet was destroyed, and so, you know, we've managed to create this force field, which is geothermal-powered, and it sustains our life.
00:42:54.000And they're connected to this kind of network that runs and programs everything for them so they can just live their lives.
00:43:01.000One day, one of the people they were liaising with is just gone.
00:44:24.000Yeah, I'm sure if we want to stay on brain with mr. Marshall because I don't want to know we should not brain influence No, we should talk about things like brain implants and so on because why don't we talk about?
00:44:33.000I want to add a point here because it'll be a good segue to that because that's programmable Like that's how you program a little synth voice Bingo!
00:44:40.000No, so we're sort of talking about neural implants and microchips a person could potentially put in your brain in order to hack you.
00:44:46.000I actually think it's a lot simpler than that.
00:44:48.000All you have to know how to do is manipulate people's emotions and it turns out it's incredibly easy to manipulate people's emotions, which is why in the past Our culture took very seriously the project of bringing up children who could make decisions on the basis of what would be best for themselves and those around them rather than their raw emotional reaction to something.
00:45:07.000Because if you can manipulate a person's emotions, but they're a strong and virtuous person, they're going to think through the way they feel about whatever situation or idea they've been presented with.
00:45:18.000And they're going to react based on the logical understanding of that instead of going, well, I feel like I want to do this and so I'm going to.
00:45:24.000And I'm not just talking about emotions like anger or sorrow.
00:45:28.000I'm talking about things like lust or even pleasure.
00:45:31.000If you can get people to Abandon reason.
00:45:36.000Whenever it will feel good to do so, they are going to become unbelievably easy for you to control.
00:46:21.000But I'm not actually... I feel bad for those who would fall victim to it, but I certainly think those that are able to maintain some kind of resilience to that will flourish.
00:46:30.000And this is basically going to... I don't want to be too crass, but the weak-minded who fall victim to AI companions will erase themselves from the human gene pool.
00:46:41.000Dude, that is how you program human beings, is how you do it.
00:47:01.000So the weaker, the weaker person lays in their bed, staring at this digital person they can never touch, but it satisfies a certain emotional yearning.
00:47:10.000The other people who are more resilient and more demanding, it's like, no, I actually want to hold a person.
00:47:16.000So what this will end up doing is in 30 years, if something like this takes off, you'll have a bunch of, you know, 40, 45 year old dudes staring at their latest version of their robot girlfriend alone in an isolation and with no reason to improve themselves.
00:47:32.000You can be as lazy as you want, as gross as you want.
00:47:34.000You can be sitting there morbidly obese, covered in boogers and mustard, and your AI friend is going to be like, you look great.
00:47:42.000Well, and so, it's not just the weak-minded, though.
00:47:44.000I mean, I agree with you that that's inevitably what it leads to, and an adult who stumbles their way into this very well could be, but the idea, I think, is, if you're really trying to create weak-minded people with something like this, is to get them while they are young and they don't really have the psychological defense mechanisms to push back against it.
00:48:01.000So think about this, you're, let's say you're 12 or 13 years old, you're a young boy, you
00:48:06.000are noticing girls, but you're too afraid to talk to them because you haven't cultivated
00:48:10.000the skills necessary in order to be able to do so.
00:48:12.000One of the main reasons for that is a fear of rejection.
00:48:15.000And so you never put yourself out there and learn that being told no isn't the worst thing
00:48:19.000And you can handle that and you can put yourself out there.
00:48:22.000So you start talking to this AI and you can access it because we do nothing to make it difficult for people under the age of 18 to access pornography right now.
00:48:31.000What makes anyone think we would make it difficult for them to access this if it were to become a reality?
00:48:35.000Not only would that be easy, there actually like there are, I've seen this with my own eyes in Florida recently, there are schools, literally schools, as in real schools are giving like peer-to-peer text communication chat options for kids who are like exploring gender identity sexual identity etc and then it gets outsourced to the bot and then the bot i'm telling you this is how you at first everything you guys both said is 100 correct
00:49:05.000But then there's also the fact that that thing starts telling the person that's falling in love with this digital fabrication how it wants it to think.
00:49:20.000What I was saying is that you have a guy who's sitting in his bed, morbidly obese, covered in grime and food, and the AI says, you're perfect in every way.
00:49:54.000The person behind this AI is a morbidly obese guy covered in boogers and mustard and he's like, The person behind that guy giving him the check is Klaus Schwab.
00:50:08.000I would have fallen victim to this for sure.
00:50:10.000Because I didn't have any sisters, so I didn't really know how to talk to girls until I was a little older, teenage.
00:50:29.000I'm telling you, that is how you get those emotional responses going, especially pleasure, you know, love, which is a really weird thing to say, but it would happen.
00:50:38.000People will fall in love with their digital, just like in Japan, they're like people, like marrying, like action figures.
00:50:51.000And if these things are hooked up to machine learning, they're going to learn how to program you They're gonna learn to play you like the most narcissistic psychotic girlfriend like times 10.
00:51:14.000This is one of the massive and fundamental problems with pornography is that it trains you to see your sexuality as something which is there exclusively for your own pleasure and not something that involves an interaction with another person.
00:51:27.000And this is going to continue along those lines of just completely rerouting someone so they cannot have meaningful connections with the opposite sex.
00:51:32.000And part of why that's necessary, and not to get too savvy about this, but it's true that men and women complement each other in many beautiful ways.
00:51:39.000And when we are together, we're much better able to resist literally anything and struggle against nature and struggle against poverty and struggle against tyranny as well.
00:51:49.000But if you can demolish that relationship, you can go a whole lot further with what you're able to do to people and what they're willing to put up with.
00:51:57.000Because if I have a real, it's also like, if I have a real wife and a real family, And now the government is telling me it could be anything, like you have to vaccinate all of them, or you have to give up your food supply, you have to go on rations, whatever it is.
00:52:11.000Those real life connections with real human beings.
00:52:13.000But it's to get kids programmed so that they're not able to have healthy relations with the opposite sex later and they're easier to control.
00:52:24.000You know, there's not going to be like a 40 year old guy who's going to be talking to their AI who says like, why don't you give up carbon?
00:52:29.000He's going to be like, I really don't care.
00:53:31.000So her whoop app knew how often she diddle in herself.
00:53:35.000So in other words, it knows when she's emotionally engaging or pleasure engaging in one way or another, which means it's recording all kinds of crap about you at the level of like your heart rate, your breathing, like your body temperature, your sweat.
00:54:00.000And then you went and had a rant on the internet and it's going to be able to, this machine learning stuff, we'll be able to figure out and correlate that data and be able to deliver to you messages that will make you feel or think or act the way it wants you to, whether that's to go buy another thousand dollar thing, whether that's to just buy some little thing, whether that's to go, you know, engage in some kind of political activity,
00:54:20.000whether that's to start yelling at somebody who's engaging in political activity that can prime you for all of that.
00:54:24.000And if it's your digital waifu, like, I'll feel really, really proud of you if you go yell at Tim Pool on the
00:55:40.000Actually, yeah, it's a thing. It's a thing There's nothing wrong with talking with a 70 year old woman
00:55:46.000This is funny because you can get you can give you can choose like really offensive like you can make like a
00:55:51.000really offensive character I'm concerned when they download like we were talking about this into into a bot into like an actual one of the sex bots or so these like big bots and then you can actually have like an artificial womb inside the bot.
00:56:15.000They want you, as Tim very vividly described, looking like Karl Marx with his carbuncles and boils, never washing, stinking, laying on his side on his couch because he's poor.
00:56:38.000And stinking like tobacco and sweat and grime and alcohol that he spilled on himself and whatever else.
00:56:44.000They want you like that, attracting no mate, making no babies, diddling yourself, Constantly to your digital avatar that's not even real, like that you're not even going to connect.
00:56:55.000And so then your environmental score goes up because you never leave your apartment.
00:56:59.000So you're not using, you are giving up the carbon and your social score goes up because you're not out causing social unrest and you're only interacting with digital things.
00:57:07.000And then I don't know about your governance score, but as long as you follow all the rules,
00:58:05.000Because the problem that Klaus Schwab lays out in these books is that with automation and AI and all of this high-tech stuff that's coming, we're going to have what he calls a creative class.
00:58:15.000That's going to be all the people who do work that the robots and the AI don't do.
00:58:19.000And then you have, he doesn't ever, I don't know if he explicitly uses this term, but I've seen this term applied.
00:59:30.000The second one is if they shut the power off and they're like, Russia did it!
00:59:33.000And you're like, the only way to get access to my digital love is if I go get the guy that shut off my power and you believe him and you fall into this.
01:00:04.000There was this viral story, check it out, there's a story where this company said, hire
01:00:08.000us when you want to make an app because we program people.
01:00:11.000I don't know if you remember the story, it was from like 2016, 2017 or 2018, where it
01:00:15.000was like this video went viral where it was like, are you making an app?
01:00:19.000With our expertise, we can help you program your audience to do certain behaviors.
01:00:22.000And it was like, if you had like a golf game and wanted more people to like buy your premium, they would consult on you how to program humans to do what they wanted to do.
01:00:36.000Like I'm, I'm, I'm going to be, I'm going to be 36 in like five days.
01:00:39.000So, you know, I'm a, you know, potty mouth 30 year old dude.
01:00:43.000To me, it's hilarious how stupid this is.
01:00:45.000I can certainly see how kids are going to be addicted.
01:00:48.000They could become easily addicted to it and then start getting programmed by earning your experience because you've got to talk with your girlfriend to earn points.
01:01:05.000Okay, well, I was gonna say, because if it's free, you're the product, and that's a very important maxim to keep in mind.
01:01:10.000No, but like, I certainly think it's important to point out that some things are just dominoes falling over.
01:01:17.000Like, somebody saw a hole in the market.
01:01:19.000They said a bunch of young and lonely men.
01:01:21.000There was a story we talked about a couple years ago, where the average male under 20, or what is it, a third of men under 29 are virgins.
01:01:31.000And the number is getting worse and worse.
01:01:33.000And I think it may have a lot to do with dating apps.
01:01:35.000But you work for a VC capital, you know, your VC capital, and a pitch comes across your desk, and they're like, look, 30% of men under 29 are virgins, and you're like, wow!
01:03:34.000It's not just control in that direct sense.
01:03:36.000There is also a very clear short-term profit motive for ensuring that men do not start families.
01:03:41.000In the long term, it's really bad for your society and for your economy.
01:03:45.000And it really does end up destroying anything.
01:03:47.000But one thing I remember learning when I was back in high school was that advertising companies
01:03:53.000almost always try to target teenagers. And the reason for that is because they are a group with
01:03:58.000a lot of disposable income. They're working, they have jobs, but they don't have anyone who they
01:04:02.000need to spend it on because they don't have responsibilities. The longer you extend adolescence,
01:04:08.000the larger and more profitable a consumer base you have.
01:04:11.000So, men not getting married and having families means they don't need to spend that money on real estate, or on more groceries for their children, or on things for their wife.
01:04:22.000They can spend all of it on whatever childish appliance you can sell them.
01:05:50.000She hates your friend's anime girlfriend because she's a different brand.
01:05:53.000She's like, I don't want you hanging out with him.
01:05:55.000But not only, you'd have a race to the bottom there in terms of what you're trying to sell to the consumer, but unfortunately, what would end up happening, I think, is if this became popular enough, a lot of young women would become lonely as well, and then they would try to emulate what they saw this algorithm doing in order to get attention from men.
01:06:13.000There was a point, I don't know if it's still true, but in metrics for superchats for live shows around the world, Timcast IRL was the number one real human being show in terms of the amount of superchats received.
01:06:30.000We were number 15 in the world for all channels.
01:06:33.000And the channels that beat us were hot anime... What are they called?
01:06:37.000Like, the anime women who, like, giggle and are on camera?
01:07:30.000No, what I'm telling you is a long-standing relationship with an actual human being is worth way more than you think it is.
01:07:40.000So I'm trying to encourage, I know it's a little awkward to transition and me picking up a sword to look manly, but, I mean, you do what you gotta do, right?
01:07:47.000It's like a physical manifestation of my phallus or something.
01:07:57.000No, the truth is, Young men, actually, I think, are a link in this problem.
01:08:03.000Like, they are, you know, the weakest link is where the chain breaks.
01:08:05.000I actually think that, you know, if they're going to sit on their ass and wait for girls to be the kind of girl—exactly—no, stop this crap.
01:08:14.000You need to take control of your life, and you need to decide that you're going to step up, and you need to realize that a long-term, fulfilling relationship with an actual human, it turns out, brings massive amounts of benefit.
01:08:25.000If you've actually looked at the statistics, it actually works out that it's more to the benefit of the man than the woman,
01:08:31.000which is very easily discerned by, if you are determined by, if you just look at the fact of
01:08:36.000when you get to kind of later in life, either divorces or deaths where somebody's widowed
01:08:41.000or whatever, what you find is women very frequently are like, and men are like remarried,
01:08:48.000like in three months, because they desperately need somebody.
01:09:04.000But the truth is, A lot of young men that I'm paying attention, I'm looking around, I'm listening to people talk, don't realize what they're missing.
01:09:13.000They're like, oh, I'm gonna like work on this, or I've got my little, you know, anime waifu, or whatever it is that they're doing.
01:09:19.000It's only fans, whether it's porn, whatever, I don't care, whatever, whatever they're doing.
01:09:22.000But what they're not paying attention to is that, as the old country song says, you can't make old friends.
01:09:29.000Well, you can't make old relationships either.
01:09:31.000And so, if you've been in a relationship with somebody for 20 years, and then you just kick that to the curb and you start a new relationship, Twenty years later, yeah, you're back to a 20-year relationship, but you're never to that 40-year relationship.
01:09:45.000And what that builds up to over time, this investment that you put in, is so, so, so valuable.
01:09:52.000And when you're 20, it's really hard to see that.
01:09:57.000And I think it is mostly incumbent upon young men to step up to this plate.
01:10:01.000and start trying to figure out how am i going to be not how do i find my real life version of some anime waifu how am i going to be the kind of guy that can build this investment with another person and earn kind of my way into that situation by becoming impressive by taking up projects by by developing myself which by the way you're not doing by raising your level on on Anime Waifu, and you're also not doing by raising your level on fucking World of Warcraft, which, get off the- play video games if you want, but seriously, don't mistake making yourself- World of Warcraft.
01:10:41.000I was 25 or 6 years old, I'm throwing fireballs at some alligator pirates or some shit in World of Warcraft, grinding my character- my, like, second character up to, um, you know- 60?
01:11:08.000So, the point is, I was throwing these fireballs at this thing, and I was like, damn, you know, I put a lot of time, because when you get up to those upper levels, it takes longer to grind.
01:11:14.000And I'm like, I'm putting a lot of effort into becoming awesome by proxy.
01:11:17.000That was literally the nerdy words I thought of for the situation.
01:11:21.000I could be putting, and I already started training my martial art that I was interested in, and I was like, I could be putting the same effort into training myself and making myself awesome, raising my own level, and then I was like, thinking about it, and I just quit playing the game.
01:11:33.000I got more interested in this little thought experiment.
01:11:36.000I never, I've never been able to play video games once with like, some old friends over like Christmas or whatever for nostalgia.
01:11:42.000But other than that, I've never found video games interesting ever since I saw it.
01:11:45.000And what I realized is, it takes way more effort to level up yourself.
01:12:31.000Because then there's gonna be a kid, he's gonna be like, I couldn't raise enough money, and they kept attacking me, so I started raising taxes, and then everyone started protesting, and so then, the enemy came and took my cities, and I was really mad.
01:12:42.000See, the only way I think most public schools would be willing to introduce that into their curriculum is if they modified the game so that, like, you lose if your military force isn't gender diverse enough or something like that.
01:12:53.000Well, they wouldn't do it because it's effective.
01:13:56.000And so I'm just trying to win the game, and then it's like, oh, I can now build the Great Lighthouse, what's that?
01:14:01.000And then I learned about the Colossus of Rhodes, and I'm like, what is this?
01:14:05.000And there's a link, and you click on the link, and it takes you to the Wikipedia, or to the... And then, and then, when I got, I think it was Civ IV, Leonard Nimoy!
01:14:45.000And you're like the Illuminati versus a light force that's trying to fight against it.
01:14:50.000So colonization, when we got it, was like a side version of civilization.
01:14:57.000Where we would play the 94 DOS version.
01:15:00.000You choose, you can play as the English, the Spanish, the French, or the Dutch.
01:15:03.000And each has a different, like, national benefit.
01:15:06.000So the English immigrate more, the Dutch get trade bonuses, the French get cooperation bonus with the Native Americans, and the Spanish get a, I think they get an attack bonus against Native Americans.
01:15:15.000And so, like, my brother would always be like, play the Spanish, because you can ransack the Aztec Empire and take all their gold.
01:15:20.000And then I would always play as the English, because they immigrated faster, so you could build colonies faster.
01:15:24.000And then you want to generate freedom.
01:15:27.000So you're like, you hire statesmen to, like, advocate for freedom and generate a propensity towards independence.
01:15:33.000and then once enough of your colonies support independence, you declare independence,
01:15:37.000and then you get invaded by Europe, and then the French intervene,
01:15:40.000or like the Dutch intervene, and then the expeditionary force shows up.
01:15:43.000I used to play that game all the time.
01:15:45.000In fact, I even still have it on one of my computers, running on a DOS emulator,
01:16:17.000Multiple languages are good, but teach your kids a musical instrument ASAP.
01:16:21.000And I mean as an adult too, like there are a number of things you can do with your child to increase the probability that they'll have a higher IQ, but learning an instrument as an adult will actually improve your score on an IQ test.
01:16:31.000You know the most important years in a child's life, 0 through 5, and what do we do in America?
01:16:35.000Shove them into daycares or public schools.
01:17:02.000Yeah, I don't know about two, but that's before we were ever sent off to school.
01:17:05.000My mom had an old phonics book that she would sit with us and teach us to read with because she just didn't trust the school system to be able to do it.
01:17:12.000But now, you know, I remember talking to a friend of mine and I asked them, because a friend of mine years ago was saying they didn't know what they wanted to do with their life.
01:17:19.000And I said, what were you doing when you were 13?
01:17:21.000And she was like, I don't know, riding bikes with my friends.
01:17:23.000And I was like, how would you like to own a bar?
01:17:25.000And she was like, That would be amazing.
01:17:28.000And I was like, yeah, the thing you did when you were a kid is what you want to do today.
01:18:16.000And so I was reading online all day every day.
01:18:18.000And there's something interesting that happens back then.
01:18:21.000The internet, when it started off, it was mostly dominated by tech-interested individuals who were savvy enough to know to use the internet.
01:18:27.000It wasn't dominated by a bunch of emotionally stunted children who complain all day and night and want to join a cult.
01:18:33.000So for me, I'm in a chat room looking up video games, and I'm like,
01:18:37.000how do I make it so when the guy moves, the world moves around him? Like, what's that called? Like,
01:18:41.000I want to make Mario. And they're like, oh, you know, you need to learn. I forgot what the
01:18:45.000phrasing is, but like, someone told me, set the, uh, create a zone, set it so that when your player
01:18:51.000object reaches the zone, it, the program sets his coordinates to be one degree, uh, you know,
01:18:57.000to the left or whatever, like, y minus one of the coordinate.
01:19:01.000And so we'll always stay in the middle of the screen and then have it set that when object reached the zone, then you have other objects.
01:19:08.000And so I'm learning from actual adults who are interested and explaining to me how these things work, telling me like what parallax scrolling was.
01:19:15.000So I started making my own video games.
01:19:17.000Now on the internet, your kid's gonna go on there and it's gonna be a bunch of psychopaths and emotionally stunted losers who are, like, trying to manipulate their brains.
01:21:18.000Join our movement, though, and you can have a red identity like all the other cool kids and you get to wear a red hat or whatever the little prize is for the kids that are the good guys.
01:22:19.000So when I hear the language of whenever, even us, my friends, and we're talking, when someone's like, those on the left, I feel like Mao has already indoctrinated you, sir.
01:22:27.000If you're thinking in terms of left and right, Mao has indoctrinated you.
01:22:31.000I don't think so, because the terms left and right go back to the French Revolution.
01:22:36.000The side of the aisle they sat on, it wasn't a political ideology.
01:22:40.000I mean, we named the political ideologies after the side of the aisle they were sitting on.
01:22:43.000But the ideologies were completely irrelevant to the side of the aisle they sat on at the time, and it's a mistake to split people in half like this right now.
01:22:50.000No, the revolutionaries sat on the left.
01:23:19.000How bad do you want to divide these people right now?
01:23:21.000It's not about wanting to do anything, it's about objective reality.
01:23:24.000Unity cannot come at the expense of truth.
01:23:26.000These people are saying things and doing things that are horrific and we need to speak out against that and acknowledge that their goals are separate from ours.
01:23:33.000The truth is also through the vessel it's spoken.
01:23:35.000Your perspective on truth is different from... So we talked about the Jon Stewart thing earlier, and I said I didn't know if I should name it that, but that's exactly actually what Mao was doing.
01:23:44.000They had labeled rightists as people who were against the Glorious Revolution.
01:23:49.000So anybody who was against the Glorious Revolution was in this black category and was a rightist.
01:23:55.000And so the goal was to stain anybody who wanted to keep the existing society, largely intact in its structure, as somehow morally polluted, morally polluted, stupid, too stupid to understand the need for the Glorious Revolution, or crazy.
01:24:11.000And then the goal was to turn the people into thinking that everybody who liked the existing society may be thinking it's imperfect, but that the general structure is pretty good and we should try to reform within it rather than have a revolution that gave Mao all the power.
01:24:27.000And everybody who wants to be on the right side of history, which is a Hegelian Marxian idea, everybody wants to be on the right side of history now has to be against those people.
01:24:38.000So the divide and conquer, the splitting, what you're saying is, you know, Mao wanted to split people, yes, for his own power.
01:24:45.000And what Tim is saying is it's just objective reality that somebody's splitting us into two different factions that have There's a bunch of ways it's been described.
01:25:20.000I don't think necessarily anyone kind of gets it.
01:25:23.000My view of it is actually Judeo-Christian moral framework versus Marxist lack of moral framework, or moral framework lack thereof.
01:25:31.000So, the way I see it is, when you look at the Constitution, you look at the ideas of liberalism or liberty, classical liberalism, etc.
01:25:38.000A lot of it is rooted in a Christian moral framework.
01:25:44.000I'm going to start calling it Abrahamic.
01:25:45.000Well, it's interesting because a lot of what Marxism A lot of what Marxism has done is just bastardize Christian principles, so I think it's interesting that you pointed out this idea of the Hegelian notion of being on the right side of history or that history has an end.
01:26:00.000I mean, when you consider it, that is a Christian idea in some sense that's been twisted into something else.
01:26:46.000They do have a vision, though, which is that everything comes from when they achieve their utopia.
01:26:52.000And so the whole thing is actually a pretty vastly religious structure.
01:26:55.000And the reason is because Kind of tracking back to, you know, say the 19th century, you have basically God versus society as kind of the two explanations of what's going on, or God versus self.
01:27:07.000And, you know, God has ordained this moral order, this is the Judeo-Christian order that you're looking at.
01:27:12.000What Marx actually said is, no, we're going to—this is his 1844, you know, so-called Paris Manuscript, or his epistem—what is it?
01:27:19.000Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844 from Paris.
01:27:22.000And he says, no, what we're going to do is we're going to abandon that.
01:27:25.000We are going to make man in himself, independent of everything.
01:27:29.000Man is going to become the deity, but not any man, only awakened man, a gnostically awakened man, if we want to get really technical, only awakened man who has a correct consciousness.
01:27:40.000And that consciousness is a social consciousness, or in other words, a socialist consciousness.
01:27:44.000And so when man and society become co-continuous, so that man is for society and society is making man So that they're the same.
01:27:54.000Then you have actualized, this is the Hegelian part, you have actualized the deity.
01:27:58.000The deity comes in in the form of society as man as society, which is totally hard to get your head around because it's just dialectical bullshit.
01:28:07.000But what that stands to do is replace God.
01:28:11.000And so what that—in a moral framework, anything that brings that into existence is good.
01:28:19.000So anything that gives them power is good.
01:28:21.000And as a matter of fact, just to—I know you're—I don't want to keep going, but if you go to marxist.org and you look up—they have an encyclopedia.
01:29:08.000When I think about inalienable rights, why I believe in freedom, it's because I feel that I am a tiny, insignificant fragment of the universe relative to the greatness and vastness of the universe.
01:29:22.000I'm not theistic, like following any particular religion, but so when I think about other people's lives and their rights and what they're entitled to, I think there is something beyond me And, you know, I respect other people's existence.
01:29:57.000Forbidden West is the new game that just came out.
01:29:59.000I'm not going to spoil it because it's really new, but if you like these conversations, play that game.
01:30:04.000I'm a little underwhelmed by the writing, but it plays in a bit to this and it's really fascinating concepts outside of the kind of weak story they made.
01:30:11.000But concepts about transhumanism and things like this are really, really fascinating because these people think they're gods.
01:30:17.000Well, that's right because Marx Marx actually, the belief is that the subject and the object, and this is why it does dichotomize, is people that center the subject versus people that center the object.
01:30:28.000Marx believed that these two are in dialectical relationship.
01:30:30.000He also took this from Hegel, who believed that the deity will actualize when the subject and object are synthesized.
01:30:37.000This was the Hegelian systematic philosophy.
01:30:39.000So Marx took it from there, and he actually, the goal for Marxist is that you are a subject.
01:30:45.000You can envision, I want to create the blade, I see the blade in my mind, I know what Maul's sword should look like, and then I go get a piece of apparently brass and bang on it with a hammer, and hopefully don't give myself zinc poisoning when I put it in the fire.
01:31:15.000And so in the object, you see that you created that which was in your subjective vision.
01:31:21.000And so you recognize yourself as creator.
01:31:26.000You recognize yourself as somebody who has the capacity to shape the world.
01:31:29.000And then, when you see this, not only can you shape Mall Sword, not only can you shape Wakizashi, not only can you shape Zelda Sword or Whiskey-G or whatever it happens to be.
01:31:38.000Whiskey-G is the Chinese for whiskey, by the way.
01:31:42.000I know all the people are gonna be like, it's Baijiu!
01:31:44.000No, Whiskey-G is a thing they actually say when they talk about, like, American whiskey.
01:31:48.000I know that because my Chinese person, every time my friend, every time I drink, he doesn't
01:31:52.000speak English, and every time I drink whiskey, he's like, whiskey, ah.
01:33:13.000I love that you reference the fact that this is very clearly a religion, and one of the Christian principles that's sort of been bastardized here is this idea of cooperating with God in creation.
01:33:25.000But where the huge distinction here is, is Marxists see human beings as objects, as you described, which can be reformed in their own image.
01:33:33.000So in that way, they really start to play God.
01:33:37.000Yeah, and it's interesting too, because Tim sort of mentioned that we have this Christian framework that a lot of people don't realize they're following, and I would also argue our culture has a Marxist framework, and on top of that, you mentioned the Marxist framework, but I think there are a lot of people, including in the conservative movement, who don't realize they're following the Marxist framework as well, and in many cases, even more closely than they are the Christian framework.
01:33:59.000So there are a lot of Marxist assumptions that our culture currently takes for granted.
01:34:03.000One example would be that Without any qualification, equality is always an inherent good.
01:34:09.000But of course, that's ridiculous, right?
01:34:10.000We should not treat a pedophile the way we would treat a law-abiding citizen.
01:34:13.000In some instances, you need inequality and justice is more important.
01:34:18.000We shouldn't treat the guy who runs way faster than the other guy equally when it comes to handing out medals either.
01:34:24.000There is a necessity for people to be treated unequally in certain circumstances.
01:34:27.000I would argue another way in which we've assumed Marxist thinking or taking it for granted is that we can solve problems, including moral problems, with a more equitable distribution of resources.
01:34:38.000So what the Marxists said for so long Was that if we just more equitably distribute resources and workers own the means of production, all of these social ills will fall away.
01:34:46.000And then instead of saying that's absolutely nonsense because there's more to human beings than the materials they're made of and they need something deeper, the conservative movement today responds by saying, no, no, no, no, no.
01:34:55.000Yes, of course, resource distribution is the most important thing, but those resources are distributed better by capitalism as opposed to Marxism.
01:35:04.000You know what I really can't stand is when politicians call out God and they like name God when you can tell they're not, they don't truly believe it.
01:35:50.000But I would strongly encourage, if you liked Cynical Theories but you found it hard to read, recently we have an easier remix called Social Injustice that came out.
01:35:58.000So you can share that, especially with younger people, teenagers.
01:36:01.000But I just, I just let a new book out called Race Marxism.
01:36:06.000And this Race Marxism book is, it's the truth about Critical Race Theory is what it is.
01:36:15.000And then it's 100,000 words making the case.
01:36:17.000Many of those words, by the way, are their words, not mine.
01:36:20.000I quote very extensively so you can see.
01:36:22.000So I encourage people to pick that up.
01:36:25.000It was independently published through New Discourses just to let people know, so it won't make any bestseller lists, but I'm very excited that it sold 6,000 copies in the first week, which would have landed it pretty high on the New York Times bestseller list if they considered independently published titles.
01:36:39.000So it, you know, really is getting out into a lot of hands.
01:36:41.000So I also encourage people to pick up my books.
01:37:01.000Seamus, are you familiar with all that stuff?
01:37:03.000One world government and currencies and stuff like that?
01:37:05.000So, people say that the one sign of the end times is one world government, because the anarchist does take over the single world government, and that's part of why I'm skeptical of anyone who argues in favor of a one world government, but at the same time, even if I wasn't religious, I think it would be difficult for me to get on board with such a concept.
01:37:24.000It seems so terrifying that someone would say, you know what, the entire world has to be governed by this specific niche political ideology that I'm saying is superior, and part of the reason I say that is because I think even though I have like my own set of preferences for government, I think there are a number of systems of governance that are acceptable and can work.
01:37:43.000And it's so strange to me that so many people have this idea that there's just one system that could work everywhere.
01:37:49.000And even people who don't believe in a one world government will say something like, well, the entire world needs to be democratic.
01:37:54.000It's like, well, you're still kind of, you're saying the entire world should have one single government system.
01:38:02.000That's another Marxist thing we've accepted though.
01:38:04.000I'm into like a decentralized union, kind of like a federalized decentralized union, but if that's the one world government then maybe I'm the Antichrist, I don't know.
01:38:50.000But I know, to assume you're the... Oh, the Antichrist.
01:38:53.000I just want to point out, by the way, with the Revelation thing, since I really want to throw this out, the people who are doing this crap have also read Revelation, and there are weirdo Christian cults and non-Christian cults that believe that they can bring Jesus back by forcing the Tribulation.
01:39:11.000Now, you might say that these people might, you know, read the description of the beast given in Revelation and then build a statue of this right outside a major financial building in New York City to signal that they've read the... no, not the bull, the weird cat thing with wings that they recently just put up.
01:40:28.000Communism, or racial justice, on the far end of that, when everything has been set in order and the kingdom has been brought.
01:40:34.000So the idea that we're going to usher in the end times, or the eschaton, is also a Marxist idea that has been brought into our society under a cloak.
01:40:43.000And I would say that Maybe I know that some of the people behind this that have, say, billions of dollars that they give to major institutions, say like the T.H.
01:40:51.000Chan School of Public Health, the UMass School of Public Health, which the same people recently bought, might have these exact beliefs that they believe that they are going to trigger the Tribulation by emulating it as described in Revelation and then ride back in 2030 with Jesus.
01:41:07.000I want to make a point here because I am obviously, you know, I'm Catholic.
01:41:10.000I don't believe this is the end times.
01:41:13.000However, I think another possible explanation here.
01:41:16.000Well, I think another I mean, I believe we're headed for I believe it's likely we're headed for some kind of serious chastisement.
01:41:20.000But when it comes to the end times rhetoric, I think part of it could also be and I'm interested in looking into some of what you're saying here.
01:41:27.000I think another huge part of this could also be these people, A, just kind of wanting to laugh at everybody, and B, this deep, deep arrogance of saying, Ian made this joke earlier, I'm the Antichrist, and Tim said something like, you know, don't be too full of yourself.
01:41:41.000I think there's even a kind of arrogance.
01:41:43.000They're like, oh, we're the Antichrist.
01:41:45.000We're the one who's gonna bring the end about, when in reality, they're just any other evil person.
01:41:50.000We've got to read more Super Chats here.
01:41:51.000We got Ready to Rumble says, pretty privilege is real.
01:42:12.000We don't do the uncensored show, the after show on Fridays, but Fridays are usually more flowing conversations into the week when there's tons of hard news, which is one of the reasons why we have James on Fridays where we can just like freely talk about whatever.
01:42:59.000I'm actually not impersonating Bill Gates.
01:43:02.000I'm impersonating Family Guy's impersonation of Bill Gates.
01:43:04.000No, all you have to really do is just kind of squeak your voice a little bit and rock and have your hands in your armpits.
01:43:12.000I can't really do an impression of him, but I find he kind of has a Kermit thing going to where his voice is like a little bit of this in there.
01:43:18.000Didn't Joe Rogan point out he's like really out of shape?
01:43:21.000Yeah, he has moobs and he's fat and he's not fit and now he's gonna give us health advice?
01:43:37.000Although I know his speech at CPAC this year was weird and totally on script, which was weird.
01:43:42.000But up to this point, I don't think that's the case.
01:43:45.000But I do know that Ivanka appeared as like the header photo of a weirdo World Economic Forum video along with W and Biden and a number of other luminaries, DiCaprio.
01:43:56.000And, um, I know that Trump listens to his daughter way more than he probably should.
01:44:01.000And so I don't know, I'm not jumping, cannot confirm, but, uh, I have not met.
01:44:06.000Ivanka strikes me and I don't want to speak out to her Ivanka.
01:44:08.000Sorry, this is going to be pretty hard on you, but you strike me as someone that will sell everyone out to keep your creature comforts and just jump to that.
01:44:55.000You're having an irrational reaction to an individual who did a bad interview one time.
01:45:00.000And that's why I preempted it with, maybe I'm speaking out of turn, but that's the vibe I get is that she's like world economic forum material.
01:45:07.000What I don't like is conclusions drawn without evidence.
01:45:11.000She strikes me with... I've never seen her... If you can state your case where it's like calmly and dispassionately... She's emotionally unstable.
01:45:18.000She cried to get Trump to fire missiles into Syria, which he did.
01:46:05.000Because I'm like, dude, she's just a press secretary.
01:46:07.000Other than that, I don't think she's anybody significant.
01:46:10.000And so just like any other press secretary, you expect her to say certain things.
01:46:13.000Now, if she's lying, I'll say, yeah, that's not true.
01:46:15.000When Sean Spicer would say something, we even talked to him about it.
01:46:18.000I just, I think if you're going to say I have deep criticisms of someone, it can't be like I've created an image of them in my mind and now I'm angry at them for it.
01:46:26.000People are asking if Trump is a false deep state PSYOP or whatever the heck it is.
01:46:30.000So to that point, a controlled opposition.
01:46:31.000So to that point, there is a relevant thing that's of practical value that people should really have their eye on, which has nothing to do with Ivanka whatsoever, which is that regardless of if, let's say that Trump was a totally genuine actor, that he came in with the best of intentions, the best skills, it's well known that he got surrounded by the swamp, right?
01:46:56.000He took control, made sure his guy was in charge.
01:46:59.000So the 5,000 political appointees that Donald Trump could have made, and this was the whole thing, you know, how he's firing everybody and new people, Those were actually largely appointed by people who were recommended or just directly by the PPO that was under swamp control.
01:47:15.000And so we got surrounded with the wrong people.
01:47:28.000And so what that tells us is we can't go back to 2016-17 and fix that.
01:47:33.000But what we can do is make damn sure that if we put in somebody who's actually got, you know, the Constitution first in whatever office, whether it's a senator with his staffers or a congressman with his staffers, whether it's president, whether it's a governor, whether it's even a mayor, that people are doing some good vetting to make sure because I can damn well guarantee you that the people who run the so-called regime with a capital R are making sure that they can get personnel around these people to make sure that they're ineffective if they are not controlled opposition.
01:48:01.000So a practical point is you think we're looking at you know a red wave maybe in 2022 this fall, people need to be thinking of who are those staffing appointments and how are those staffing appointments made and making sure that vetted people are going into those positions.
01:48:13.000That's a practical point to kind of come out of whatever Pretty Blonde Girl is.
01:48:18.000All right, Howard says, cyber pandemic, March 17th, 2022, give or take a few days.
01:48:23.000Thanks who CIA Schwab Tim won't see this coming.
01:48:26.000I don't know what that last part means, but I guess making a prediction about a cyber pandemic.
01:48:30.000I mean, Klaus Schwab talks about this a lot in the last couple of years.
01:48:34.000He's like, if you think that COVID-19 has been disruptive, the cyber pandemic will be 10 times as disruptive.
01:48:42.000Probably massive, massive hacks and ransomware and, you know, breaking into, say, government infrastructure, say, things that run power plants or whatever.
01:48:51.000A gigantic outbreak, probably from Russia, or at least that's what they'll say, of huge amounts of cyber warfare against critical infrastructure and even individuals throughout probably, I would bet, the Western world and not China, just as a guess.
01:49:11.000So he's been warning about this enough to where one should suspect that he's not warning about this because it might happen and he's ahead of the curve, but because it might happen because he is the curve.
01:49:25.000And I don't know what you do to prepare for this.
01:49:28.000I don't know how realistic it is, but it's something that Schwab has telegraphed.
01:49:32.000Um, dozens of times in the past year or two.
01:49:35.000Shamus suggested earlier as we were talking, how do we prepare for something that may or may not happen?
01:49:40.000Copies of the last three months of your bank records in case the bank, the electricity goes out and you need to, yeah, you need to contact your bank and be like, I have proof that this is my money.
01:50:26.000The one thing that's going to be totally worthless, if there's no internet, is going to be your idea of currency.
01:50:31.000If, like, people might still value hard cash, they might still value gold and silver, but if the economy is truly disrupted in a it-hits-the-fan moment, food and water are going to be the most valuable things.
01:51:44.000But the thing is, even so, like water, ammunition, solar panels, emergency food, those things will still be valuable to you if society stays afloat as well.
01:51:55.000We got, uh, Sadistic Atheist says, Have you ever watched Darren Brown, a real mentalist, showing how he programs celebrities in the general public?
01:52:06.000One of my favorite things he ever did was he took a wallet Put it on the ground in the middle of a street, busy street, like downtown in some city, and drew a yellow circle around it, and then walked away, and they put a time-lapse camera on it and watched, and no one touched it.
01:52:29.000Yeah, I'm familiar with Aaron Brown, too.
01:52:30.000He does have some things that I question, where he, like, I think this is him, he grabs Omin and says, like, stuck, and then she can't move, and I'm like, come on.
01:52:39.000But there are a lot of things I can tell you this having worked in nonprofit fundraising having been friends with tons of you know hackers social engineers you would be surprised how easy it is to control people's behaviors and so what they try and do with these nonprofits is is they try to cultivate a basic set of manipulative skills.
01:52:58.000It doesn't work for most people. And then there are some people who naturally have these skills and
01:53:03.000they can, you know, execute them very, very easily. So those people you see on the street waving
01:53:07.000to you like, hey, come and talk for a minute. Some people naturally behave in such a way that is
01:53:12.000commanding. So I'll tell you two really fascinating things. When it comes to hiring 50 people,
01:53:38.000The women with larger breasts tended to be able to fundraise really well, and the men who were taller tended to be able to fundraise really well.
01:53:45.000These are like instinctual, secondary, you know, sexual drives that humans have.
01:53:50.000The tall men are commanding, people naturally, you know, and deep voices.
01:53:55.000And then the women who were, you know, busty or attractive tended to do very, very well.
01:54:01.000Then there was the anomalous outliers.
01:54:03.000So you'd always find like a weaselly little guy, but he was a fast talker, and he could convince anybody of anything.
01:54:08.000Honestly, gang, okay, so let me explain to you why you should go to birch.gold.com and purchase everything.
01:55:34.000Yeah, because the idea is, if you're covering your chest, you're saying, I don't trust you, I fear you, and that puts them in a sense of alarm.
01:55:42.000So all of these techniques they train on are like base instinct, not even about the words you say.
01:55:47.000In fact, like I mentioned, the tall guy, he would barely say words and still convince people to just give him money.
01:55:52.000So, when it comes to programming humans, we've got base code, man.
01:55:56.000We've got an underlying BIOS that is easy to exploit.
01:56:09.000Josephine Whitaker says, somewhere I heard that when Marks died, his wife said, if only he spent his time making capital instead of writing about it.
01:57:29.000See, this is the thing about Iron Man, Avengers, Age of Ultron.
01:57:36.000If they were going to build Ultron, this AI, they would put it in a virtual space to see what would happen first, and that's what happened.
01:58:16.000So sometimes, we've referenced this before, the conspiracy theory pyramid video I did where it's just my cartoon character talking about it.
01:58:22.000People were commenting, joking, like, Seamus is a VTuber now.
01:58:26.000Dr. Rollergator is a real gator that wears roller skates.
01:58:29.000People don't realize this, but half the episodes of IRL that Chamus has been on, he's actually been a marionette.
02:00:28.000I learned early on when we used to play video games with my friends that if we would play, like, you'd win and then the loser would have to pass the controller, so the winner would stay forever.
02:00:35.000And I was like, why don't we do it where you play two and you pass it regardless of if you win or lose?
02:00:39.000So everyone started to get equal amounts of play time, and I realized it doesn't matter if you win or lose, man.
02:00:53.000Because caffeine is an adenosine receptor antagonist and adenosine makes you feel very uncomfortable when it gets free and so when you can antagonize the receptors you can make yourself feel good all the time in the famous words of Kramer.
02:01:08.000Then you start to grow more receptors.
02:02:38.000We had a really, really great green room with Majid Nawaz, because he's downstairs talking about a whole bunch of stuff for like 40 minutes.
02:02:43.000So it's basically a whole other podcast.

02:03:10.000So today I made a post about how we actually have a plan to clone our rooster, and I'm pretty sure I can pull it off.

02:03:56.000You follow me on social media at ConceptualJames, where people are probably pissed off at me on the internet, and I am probably laughing about that fact.
02:04:09.000We upload a new political cartoon every single Thursday.
02:04:13.000We just uploaded one about Biden's State of the Union.

02:04:33.000I want to talk about Heigl's mixing of self and other to create God and then pushing that on society.
02:04:38.000I thought that Plato said, like, if you don't take interest in politics, politics takes an interest in you, but maybe people have gone too far.
02:04:44.000Maybe that can be something we look into in the future and talk more about.
