On this week's episode of Timestamps: Mark Zuckerberg's new app, the "The Twitter Killer," Joe Biden's administration files an appeal to overturn the First Amendment, and Elon Musk calls out Mark Zuckerberg for "cheating."
00:00:00.000So Mark Zuckerberg has launched his app, Threads.
00:00:26.000They call it the Twitter Killer, and I signed up to check it out, and it is awful!
00:00:30.000I'm not just trying to play some stupid tribal games.
00:00:33.000The main feed on Threads is a bunch of random people I don't follow.
00:00:39.000So I sign up for this new Twitter killer, and I'm like, alright, let's check this out.
00:00:43.000And I go to my homepage, and there's like some dude named Roderick talking about how him and J-Boys was going down to the Courts Hall for a new drink, and I'm like...
00:00:54.000I have no idea what this guy's talking about.
00:00:56.000I don't want to follow him, and you have to block them.
00:00:59.000And so people are literally like, well, I guess what you do is if you see a post you don't like, block the person so you never see it again.
00:01:10.000But we'll talk more about it and where it's at because sure enough there is room to improve and some people are excited there's an alternative to Twitter because some people are still banned on Twitter.
00:01:25.000According to Twitter, Mark Zuckerberg hired Twitter employees who had access to proprietary information from Twitter which they used to make the new app.
00:01:52.000Dan Bongino mentioned that this has gotta be someone in the family, someone who can bypass security, and that's exactly what we're saying, but hey, he would know better than we would.
00:02:01.000So, I think everybody kinda knows where that stuff came from, so we'll talk about that.
00:02:05.000Also got a bunch more little stories here.
00:02:08.000We do have another big one with Joe Biden.
00:02:10.000They're effectively trying to overturn the First Amendment.
00:02:13.000You know, I want to avoid being hyperbolic, but the filing from the Biden administration seeks to grant them the authority to have private organizations censor the political speech of people they don't like.
00:02:36.000Before we do, my friends, head over to CastBrew.com And join the Cast Brew Coffee Club!
00:02:41.000If you like really good coffee and you want the best, you're gonna buy from Cast Brew, and you'll also be supporting the work we do because this is our company, we're sponsoring ourselves.
00:02:49.000You can join the Cast Brew Coffee Club where you'll get three bags of coffee every month.
00:02:53.000We've got Rye's with Roberto Jr., a light roast.
00:02:55.000We've got Appalachian Nights, a dark roast.
00:02:57.000I gotta be honest, I think Appalachian Nights is the best coffee I've ever had.
00:03:01.000You know, I'm the one who formulated it, so surprise, surprise, I made what I liked.
00:03:40.000I am a Blaze TV host as well as a TPUSA contributor and I also make videos on YouTube.
00:03:45.000So I have my own channel, Lauren Chen, and another channel, Mediaholic, where we talk about Pop culture, entertainment, movie reviews, and then my main channel is more current events, social and political issues, and I basically am everywhere on social media, and I don't know, I feel like I'm often very angry on social media.
00:04:03.000There's a lot of things to talk about politically in terms of entertainment that are not going well, so I guess I'm an angry person online.
00:04:44.000Twitter Daily News tweeting, Twitter is threatening to sue Meta over systematic, willful, and unlawful misappropriation of Twitter's trade secrets and IP, as well as scraping of Twitter's data in a cease and desist letter sent yesterday to Zuckerberg by Elon's lawyer Alex Spiro.
00:05:00.000I have to wonder, recently we heard that Twitter was limiting how much, how many tweets you could see, and they said it was because people were stealing data.
00:05:07.000I wonder if it's because Elon found out Meta was actually scraping data to use for their new app.
00:05:13.000I mean, Mark Zuckerberg doing something untoward in regard to intellectual property?
00:06:39.000Like, these are- These are people posting things about, like, their day that have nothing- Like, I'm getting recommended the dude who made threads.
00:07:59.000I don't follow people on Instagram, I follow people who play poker, I follow people who skateboard, who scoot, who BMX, some nature, a couple travel people, and some parkour people.
00:08:13.000So when I start threads and it's like, here are the people you follow, it's like, oh sure, I follow PragerU, and a few people for some of their political stuff, but it's mostly not.
00:08:22.000Here's ultimately what I think, and the reason why I bring up the algorithmic feed.
00:08:28.000I think what the powers that be feared the most in terms of social media was curated feeds, which created tribes and hives.
00:08:37.000People go on Twitter, they follow only the opinions they like, and they create these bubbles where they separate themselves from everybody else.
00:08:45.000I think what Instagram wants to do, what Mark Zuckerberg wants to do, YouTube does the same thing.
00:08:51.000They want to eliminate the ability for you to create a curated feed.
00:08:56.000This has been true on YouTube forever.
00:08:57.000Subscriptions on YouTube are completely meaningless and have been for 10 years.
00:09:00.000Everybody knows that when you- It's the homepage.
00:09:17.000Instagram meta, they want to do the same thing with Twitter, so that when you sign up for threads, they're really hoping that it does shut down Twitter, and then this is what the future will be.
00:09:27.000You will be forced to follow the likes of the Young Turks, you'll be forced to follow the likes of AOC or Ted Cruz.
00:09:34.000Perhaps they think it'll be a healing thing to bring the sides together so that everyone will have a shared narrative.
00:09:49.000You're gonna follow conservative and libertarian, disaffected liberals.
00:09:53.000Those are going to get deranked without you knowing.
00:09:55.000They're going to prop up people like AOC and neocons, you know, acceptable Republican personalities, Ted Cruz for instance, and they're going to try to excise the likes of, you know, anyone outside the political machine.
00:10:08.000Big problem for me with centralized media in general, and it's part of why I don't like this idea that Elon's been pushing to create an app for everything, a one-stop app, the X app, because if Elon don't like you, Alex Jones, he can just ban you from everything then.
00:10:20.000If you're putting everything through a central server, same with Meta, man.
00:10:59.000I mean, I can understand if you're a leftist and you want more content moderation, you would rather have a threads conversation than a Twitter conversation, because the moderation is going to be more what you're looking for.
00:11:09.000But I mean, for people like DC Drano, it's never going to be as free as Twitter is.
00:11:15.000You know what will make the magic if Threads and Twitter come together and cooperate?
00:11:21.000Threads has stated they will soon be on the Thetaverse.
00:11:24.000So this is actually really interesting.
00:11:26.000I think the Thetaverse is a very very important move for social media that can actually fix a lot of the problems.
00:11:31.000For those that aren't familiar, it's effectively The internet of social media.
00:12:15.000If we can get a Twitter-like system, if we can get federated networks, what happens is, you might sign up for Threads, because it's easy, you can see posts from Phil on Twitter, and then you can, you know, Threads might be like, we're blocking Twitter from our network because we don't like him, but Phil can then sign up for any other Fediverse app or connect that way and syndicate.
00:12:36.000So, ultimately, you can't be censored.
00:12:40.000In fact, you can even create your own website with your own protocol where you can never be banned because your username would be like ian at iancrossland.net or whatever.
00:12:49.000So then people would just follow you from your website.
00:12:51.000So it's kind of like RSS feeds turning Twitter into a network of servers instead of one centralized platform.
00:13:48.000You can't get banned from like walking down the street and saying your opinions.
00:13:53.000To a certain degree you can, of course, because people lie, cheat, and steal all the time, and corrupt government officials will try and play dirty games.
00:14:01.000The point is, we are protected in expressing our opinions.
00:14:07.000I don't know what Jack Dorsey is working on, but I just want to give a shout out to Jack Dorsey because he recently did a podcast interview where he said that JFK was assassinated by the CIA.
00:14:16.000And he got very into it, and he's like, so you're saying... He's like, yes, at that point was when the American dream was stripped away, when our own government, the CIA, killed a sitting president.
00:14:29.000But wait, didn't they basically admit that?
00:14:31.000I don't know if they admit it, I know Tucker's said it, Ron Paul said it, like we're at the point where basically it is the widely accepted- Maybe I'm too far down the conspiracy rabbit hole for too many things where I'm just like, yeah, I thought we were all on the same page, like yes.
00:14:43.000I love the Kennedy assassination conspiracy, because there are people who say it's multiple gunmen, you know, and it's Lee, Howard, V. Oswald, it's all pinned on this one guy, but like, The story of Lee Harvey Oswald is crazy.
00:14:54.000First, he screamed out, I'm a patsy, as they were carrying him away.
00:14:57.000They found his gun in the building that he was in, like, on another floor.
00:15:01.000So, like, if you're gonna go- Then he gets killed.
00:15:49.000Well, I mean, because Mastodon, that was already the left-wing alternative to Twitter.
00:15:53.000Mastodon was bound to fail just because it's not an easy thing to use.
00:15:57.000Yeah, I did try to log on and create an account just so I could kind of see what the leftists were talking about.
00:16:02.000It was not very intuitive, and I'm kind of a boomer, I'll admit.
00:16:05.000But still, it wasn't nearly as easy as Twitter.
00:16:07.000But I think even the leftists who claim that they want all the, you know, the quote, right-wing extremists banned, they know that Twitter is fun because of that conflict, that they can't stay away.
00:16:21.000They want to have this big conversation.
00:16:23.000The left wants to ban everyone on the right.
00:16:26.000The thing is, Twitter is the water cooler, it is the town square, so the left wants the right banned from it so they have a monopoly on the narrative.
00:16:33.000The right wants to use the platform to engage in debate.
00:16:36.000It does not work for either if the other leaves.
00:16:39.000If these liberals and leftists leave and go to Mastodon, they're no longer in town square, they have no narrative control, there's no point in being there.
00:16:46.000Sure, you've banned all the conservatives, but now you have no influence.
00:16:49.000For conservatives, if there's no one to talk to but each other, it's boring.
00:16:54.000Well, they want the conservatives, the leftists want the conservatives on the platform so they're able to feed the conservatives what they want them to see.
00:17:02.000They don't want conservatives in their own echo chamber because then they're going to be talking about the leftists in a way that they don't like.
00:17:08.000I want to pull up this tweet from Alvin.
00:17:10.000Elon Musk responded to this tweet with an exclamation point.
00:17:13.000He said, Dear God, what the F. I give you now this image.
00:17:32.000Location, personal info, financial info, health and fitness, messages, photos and videos, audio, files and docs, calendars, contacts, app activity, web browsing, app info and performance, device or other IDs.
00:18:36.000You can look at all your videos on your phone.
00:18:38.000The contacts is crazy, because if some random person that never signed up for social media is in my phone, then now Instagram has them and they'll start marketing to them.
00:18:47.000Even more insidiously, we know the federal government has been working with social media companies.
00:18:51.000If they can see who's following, not just following on social media, but actually who has who in their phone's contacts, that's really, really scary.
00:18:59.000I saw that someone, a former CIA employee, someone that worked for CIA, is now moved over to, I believe it was Facebook meta.
00:19:13.000I actually had an experience a couple weeks ago.
00:19:15.000Alex Jones was on the PBD podcast, Patrick Bet-David, and he asked some question on there, like, if we install, in Russia, if there's like a new leader is installed and they're sympathetic to the West, what will happen?
00:19:28.000And I was going to text him, Alex, and be like, well, I think that would move us towards totalitarian, you know, technocracy a little bit faster, more peaceful, but also that, and I just didn't message him.
00:19:37.000I was like, I don't want the FBI reading my, what a bullshit fucking I was so angry at myself that I didn't be brave.
00:20:50.000Your personal info, email addresses, user ID, phone number, messages, other in-app messages, photos and videos, contacts, app activity, info performance, and device IDs.
00:22:13.000But don't be surprised when everyone's spying on you.
00:22:15.000And I'll make sure it's clear that I don't want to single out Threads on this one.
00:22:19.000They are spying on you to a greater degree than the other ones, but they're all spying on you quite a bit.
00:22:25.000Well, I mean, anyone who has an Alexa or a Google Home Assistant or whatever they're called, that is essentially a wiretap that you've allowed into your home.
00:22:57.000The way voice activation works is that it records what you say, sends it to a company for analysis, who then scan it for text, to convert it to text, and sends it back to the TV.
00:23:54.000Because they want to be listening to you.
00:23:56.000They also, uh, this Alvin guy also posted this app privacy from Instagram and it says, The following data may be collected and linked to your identity.
00:24:03.000Health and fitness, financial info, contact info, user content, browsing history, usage data, diagnostics, purchases, locations, context, search history, identifiers, sensitive info, and other data.
00:24:31.000If, like, maybe the AI took over a long time ago, and it's just learning everything possible about us, we don't realize we're under its spell.
00:25:06.000No, AI really scares me and it's also kind of ironic and people have been posting about this like we assumed AI and like technology would come so we would be relieved of menial jobs especially like that's the dream if you're on the left but instead it's like all the creatives that are being put out of work almost first I mean obviously technology has been for a long time phasing out lower skilled jobs but it's like now even the good jobs that people were aspiring to those are the ones that are also being wiped out by AI like you know the the graphic designers the writers Yeah, it's less about can you physically draw the picture now and more about can you conceive of the description verbally and then give the computer an accurate, intricate descriptive.
00:26:18.000Yeah, because if you use a laser to carve something into wood... Yeah, and people will say, well, oh, it's just an amalgamation of previous art.
00:26:28.000Creation is usually the product of, I guess, absorbing other works and then your own interpretation of it.
00:26:34.000When someone paints a picture and uses the tools, you know, paints or a paintbrush or
00:26:38.000whatever it is they're using, now people can do all sorts of different crazy art.
00:26:40.000They'll take like coins and then line them up so it makes a big picture.
00:26:44.000The AI is just basically a paintbrush.
00:26:48.000What you input into it may not actually be good art.
00:26:51.000You might say, hey, make this picture, it makes one, and say, hey everybody, look what my AI thing did, and you're like, that's stupid.
00:26:56.000And then someone might put it in, refine it, put the photo back in, say, change this, change that, and then refine it to the point where it actually makes a really cool picture.
00:27:04.000But, admittedly, it's just getting easier and easier to make stuff.
00:27:06.000The scarier thing about it is, if All art is just derivative of other art, then eventually all art will be derivative of AI.
00:27:15.000AI will just be regurgitating the same things without new human thought and input.
00:27:19.000But it's crazy because, I mean, we, like, I've been working on stuff with, like, different logos, and we are working with a graphic designer, like an actual person, to come up with stuff, and then one day I was like, you know, I'm just gonna try one of these AI logo generators.
00:27:31.000I just want to see, because we're kind of, like, we're at an impasse, nothing's really, like, sparking.
00:28:40.000If you can't even get the left to cheer for this app...
00:28:44.000Dude, I don't know what you're going to try and pull off.
00:28:45.000I think they really messed up by opening up the fire hose of data to new users and making them see tons of people that they weren't interested in, rather than give them like five categories, have them auto-subscribe to like five accounts or ten accounts and let them find their way.
00:29:01.000Because having to block people the minute you walk into a social network is the most anti-social tactic or technique.
00:29:08.000You do not want your users blocking each other.
00:30:15.000It's either an oversight or just a brute force tactic.
00:30:19.000Well, it's hard now because social media isn't what it was created like.
00:30:22.000Facebook used to be the people that you know.
00:30:24.000Now something like Twitter, yeah, it's a mixture of people you know, but also just, like, brands, public figures, like, political discourse.
00:30:31.000It's this weird, how do you even begin to start to recommend a person something?
00:30:36.000I admit, like, not that I'm trying to defend threads, but that does sound like a challenge.
00:30:40.000You know the worst thing about Instagram is?
00:30:42.000You'll click the little magnifying glass button.
00:30:45.000It'll give you a bunch of recommended posts.
00:30:47.000You'll see this video, this happens to me a bunch, where it's like, I can't really tell exactly what it is.
00:30:54.000They want you to click it, and then as soon as I do, now Instagram's sending me a whole bunch of these weird videos like, there's, there was one where it's uh, cause I watch a lot of poker vlogs.
00:31:05.000And so I get recommended this video where I have no idea what the picture is, and I wanna know.
00:31:57.000I mean, I don't want to be too tinfoil hat, but If this is a social media app that they can convince the regular public is where the correct narrative is and Twitter is where the misinformation is, then it might be an attempt to... I'm not saying it's going to be successful, I'm saying it won't be.
00:32:22.000The thing about Twitter is it's where the politically oriented individuals seek out those conversations.
00:33:56.000To a lot of people, Facebook is the internet.
00:34:01.000To them, they're one and the same, because that was the first way that they experienced the internet.
00:34:06.000It's mostly people who are on the older side.
00:34:09.000Young people, Gen Z, they aren't as much on Facebook.
00:34:12.000I think you're right in Western countries, but I think that in Africa and the Middle East, where you're talking about poorer countries, where they were giving up... I think they're all about TikTok.
00:35:19.000He knew that when he was giving out those phones, he was giving them away for free because he wanted the data those people had.
00:35:25.000But with threads, I don't know if he's like, yeah, have it opened every he might have made that final call.
00:35:30.000Like, let's just open it to everybody.
00:35:31.000Let them just we'll start with everything and they can work their way back as opposed to start with nothing and they can work their way up.
00:35:37.000Because it's a very empty feeling to go into a new social network and have nothing and be like, I don't even know what I'm doing here.
00:35:44.000Yeah, but if you can import your Instagram, then that's what I thought would happen.
00:35:49.000And it is, yet still they give you a bunch of garbage you don't want to read.
00:35:52.000I think the problem is that you were talking about earlier, the people that you follow on Instagram aren't necessarily the people you would follow on threads, like they're different things.
00:35:59.000On Instagram, I follow like baby accounts, cake accounts, like travel and stuff, which is very, very different than my doomsday Twitter curation.
00:36:08.000It also ruins a lot of these accounts for me.
00:36:10.000Because there's like, there'll be like one account where it's just like people who, you know, travel the world or whatever, and they get to see cool pictures of mountains.
00:36:16.000And now they're all sudden posting about BLM or something.
00:36:19.000And I'm like, Oh, I did not want to know your opinions.
00:37:52.000I mean, I struggle to imagine anyone else who was just sneaking in cocaine to the White House, because I would imagine, I've never been there, but I imagine they have pretty good security.
00:38:35.000This photo of President Biden sitting on the White House steps is just so breathtaking and captures this moment so well.
00:38:42.000Joe Biden is doing so much for all of us and has the weight of the world on his shoulders, and I just want to say thank you every time I see him.
00:38:49.000so it is so so so here's this here's this photo sentiment that i can and i
00:38:53.000the sentiment i got from this was joe sat down
00:39:44.000because I skateboard and so we're always trying to film everything we do to make
00:39:48.000sure everybody knows just you know how good we are at skateboarding. How good
00:39:51.000you are at the crack. Well here's the thing man you know Hunter Biden is a big
00:39:55.000part of the crack community and he wants to make sure everybody knows he's the
00:39:58.000best. If you're that good at smoking crack you want people to know.
00:40:01.000You know, he goes to his buddy and he's like, yo, I need to film her because we're going to be doing Kraken Prostitutes later tonight and someone's got to capture this stuff.
00:40:07.000And they're like, ah, just use your phone and put it on Instagram.
00:40:10.000I was thinking about, like, the Roman Republic or the Roman Empire, really, how they would have, like, these giant parties on boats, like, when it was all falling apart.
00:40:19.000And then we see this festival of Joe Biden just, like, vacantly staring out, his wife not even looking at his son, who's a crackhead, who just got, like, not pardoned, but, like, a misdemeanor for having, like, Crack and gun on him?
00:40:33.000And how they'll look back at this period of history at that and be like, wow, what did America become that the first son was like, just given a little pat on the wrist for having something that would have thrown other people in prison?
00:41:28.000It's like, what kind of faith can you have?
00:41:30.000I mean, obviously power, this is what I've always been told, they protect each other, people in power, nepotism runs rampant, and they flaunt it.
00:41:38.000And I think this is Hunter's flaunting it, obviously, with all his pictures and propaganda, and then Joe's just completely ignoring it and saying, he's my son.
00:41:47.000They said they found it near the West Executive Entrance.
00:43:04.000Oh yeah, I'm not denying that, but I think there are a lot of disaffected liberals or people who would not vote Democrat now who were happy to vote for Obama regardless of how things were going just because it felt nice.
00:43:14.000He felt like a president and it was the good old days back then, even though it wasn't in a lot of ways.
00:43:19.000Partly why some people probably voted for Biden because they thought it was going to be like Obama or whatever, but it's probably going to be Newsom.
00:43:45.000When we have a conversation with some of these liberals, people who live in New York, and it's like, 25 people were pushed in front of subway trains last year.
00:43:54.000And I'm like, I'm not arguing every single person in Manhattan is falling in front of trains.
00:44:00.000I'm saying you probably should do something to stop this from happening.
00:44:04.000Yeah, well, I think what's frustrating about talking to people from New York and California especially is that they act like those things are normal.
00:44:11.000I remember there was a, gosh what it was, with Jordan Neely, right?
00:44:15.000This homeless guy was threatening people.
00:44:17.000There are so many New Yorkers who are saying like, well, that's just normal.
00:44:29.000And it's also frustrating because these are the people who, by and large, hate America the most.
00:44:33.000And it's like, you are in a blue city, in a blue state, when the president is a Democrat.
00:44:38.000If things aren't going well, perhaps Step back and take a look at why that is.
00:44:42.000I'm kind of excited for everything that's going on with politics because I'm feeling like, you know, we're winning with the Bud Light stuff especially.
00:44:50.000And I do think we're going to start to see more liberal personalities start adopting the disaffected liberal stances on things because at a certain point they're going to realize there's no market for the weird leftist stuff.
00:45:45.000But during Pride Month, it's Insufferable.
00:45:48.000Every makeup, beauty brand, any brand that caters to women, they're all out.
00:45:51.000Trans this, let's put men in our products, whatever.
00:45:54.000I started actually looking through the comments, because I was just unfollowing brands because I'm sick of it.
00:45:58.000I started looking through the comments expecting, this is brave, like, you know, because by and large, women, at least on social media, they all eat that stuff up.
00:46:06.000But no, overwhelmingly, people were fed up saying, unfollow, what does this have to do with the product?
00:46:11.000And I think that's a good, like, even normies are getting sick of it.
00:46:17.000Like I literally just did just this morning I got a text message from a buddy of mine who's in a very well-known band and he's like he sent me a tweet from from Jill Flipovic and she was talking about you know about how marriages are not you know people aren't getting married in there and they don't last and and she was looking at this as a as a victory because she thinks that women are out there doing what they want to do and living their lives Even though it seems that people are more depressed and not happy about it.
00:46:50.000But anyway, she was looking at it as a victory, and my buddy's like, do you believe this stuff?
00:46:55.000And I'm like, look, this is kind of how the left goes.
00:47:00.000They don't actually embrace things like family values.
00:47:04.000And he's got a family, and he's talking about his wife, and he's like, she's kind of turfy and stuff.
00:47:11.000And I was like, look, she was talking about women and men in women's bathrooms and stuff.
00:47:17.000And that's where the line is being drawn.
00:47:42.000So that turned out to actually not be a trans person, it was just a guy who liked flashing his junk at women.
00:47:50.000And so, because of these policies, and it's funny because conservatives are like, what's gonna stop a man from doing it or whatever?
00:47:56.000And they're like, the left says, trans people don't do these things.
00:47:59.000Like, right, we're concerned about the men doing it under the guise.
00:48:02.000So what happens is, this dude goes in the women's locker room, flashing his junk, and when a woman complains, they're like, must be a trans person, so we're not gonna do anything about it.
00:48:11.000Then it turns out to be a repeat offender they arrest.
00:48:13.000If it is a trans person, or if it is a trans person, they do something, imagine what they're gonna get on social media.
00:48:19.000The backlash, you're transphobic, et cetera.
00:48:23.000All of the incentive is to allow the person in the bathroom to do whatever it is that they want, just so long as they don't actually physically grab someone else.
00:48:32.000Because the repercussions of being wrong or being accused of being transphobic.
00:49:26.000To celebrate the first female to do a 720, at the same time they're celebrating males competing in women's sports.
00:49:33.000You recognize the literal distinction between males and females, because if it really was that it doesn't matter if you're male or female, they would have been like, who cares that a female did a 720?
00:49:45.000And then I think another guy did a 1260 a couple years ago, which was a real big deal.
00:49:50.000But the reality is, because they know, females are not competing at the same level as males.
00:49:55.000What's gonna happen when we've already had, if you guys have been following Taylor Silverman, who actually works here, she was competing in skateboarding contests and had lost contests to biological males.
00:50:07.000But I'll tell you, the frustrating thing about it, people in the skateboard industry at the highest levels will privately say, yeah, we're not okay with this stuff, and then publicly be like, yay, good for you, That's starting to change.
00:50:21.000And that's the cultural shift we're seeing that I'm actually happy to see because now people are finally being like, okay, we can't keep doing this.
00:50:26.000But what's insidious is that on the left, I've already seen the next evolution of their argument.
00:50:30.000It's like, first of all, there's no difference.
00:50:32.000You don't need to worry about men taking over women's sports because they don't have an advantage.
00:50:37.000Now it's like, okay, they do have an advantage, but that is exactly why Kids need to go on puberty blockers, it's so that the advantage isn't, I guess, instilled.
00:50:47.000But that is BS, because at least according to my pediatrician, or my kid's pediatrician, from birth, boys and girls are on different growth charts.
00:50:55.000From conception, men and women are different.
00:51:00.000Prenatal testosterone has a big impact on fast twitch muscle development, for instance.
00:51:05.000Listen, I don't think that children should be put on puberty blockers until they're old enough to decide what gender they want to be, but I want the left to make that argument real bad.
00:51:18.000I want them to make that argument real bad because they will die at the ballot box.
00:51:22.000Regarding winning, right now it feels like things have changed, like there's a sea change.
00:51:28.000Whether it's a winning, it's like an ingredient of winning.
00:51:31.000It's like the anvil is so hot right now.
00:51:34.000We have heated this system up by uncovering the problems and hyper-focusing on them and teaching people about the problems.
00:53:20.000Yeah, but you could say it's the parents that are allowing it when it comes to pornography, but if a little kid were to go into a supermarket and buy alcohol, you wouldn't just say, oh, it's the parents that need to do a better job.
00:53:30.000No, yeah, but the parents let them do it, but it would still be illegal to sell alcohol to that minor, regardless of what the parents wanted or not.
00:53:35.000Why is there a different standard for online pornography?
00:53:38.000Because that's also not the standard for in-person pornography.
00:53:41.000You can't just, oh, it's the parents' fault.
00:54:42.000And I'm like, okay, I guess that's enough for the 90s.
00:54:45.000But now, if the kid's friend brings a cell phone, and they're all gonna see porn, they need to know, they need to be bolstered against that.
00:54:52.000But you can't just start treating nine-year-olds like they would inevitably be looking at porn at the time, right?
00:54:57.000Because that's basically saying like, oh, well, you're gonna see porn anyway, we might as well just And honestly, the biggest problem that I have with that is this is something that parents should be deciding.
00:55:09.000Parents should be deciding when their kids are given sexual education.
00:55:14.000But that is not something we want school to do.
00:56:15.000And it's considered to be a violation of a court order that has to be adjudicated.
00:56:22.000But the difference between a politician barring you from a public space, which is a civil matter, is not the same as someone exposing themselves to children, which is what people who go on Twitter and post porn are literally doing.
00:56:33.000So I don't know why it is that before the internet, it was ubiquitous.
00:56:41.000Anyone who goes out into public and exposes themselves, male or female, two kids, to any person would get arrested.
00:57:46.000It's reality that people go on the street and expose themselves.
00:57:48.000It is reality, and we need to confront it, but why is the way that we are confronting it by making it a problem children have to deal with?
00:57:54.000If we are going to confront it, we should tackle things from the adult perspective and handle the adults who are committing the act, rather than just trying to train our kids like, oh, I'm sorry, you're just gonna have people flashing you, and it's not okay, but I guess we'll talk to you about it, so you're prepared.
00:58:08.000But also, there are states, like Virginia, I think was the most recent one, I think Utah has done the same, where now they are requiring Age verification to access sites like Pornhub.
00:58:16.000And it's caused this whole thing because now Pornhub is like, okay, well, we're going to block IP addresses from those states, which I mean, obviously, everyone has a VPN.
00:58:41.000I pose the suggestion that we need a revolution of the way we teach sexual education to kids.
00:58:46.000If you guys disagree and you think we don't need to change anything... No, no, but it seems like you want a revolution in the opposite way.
00:58:53.000Yeah, you're taking the approach the left takes.
00:59:27.000We protect children from these things, be it gore or loot and lascivious behaviors, and when people engage in this stuff in public, we say, hey, that breaks the law.
00:59:37.000We're not doing it, we've never done it.
00:59:39.000Like, my point is, our society, in this country, for some reason, decided that even though the internet is publicly accessible to children, we won't do anything about people posting graphic images in places children can reach.
00:59:55.000That you cannot have a weapon, a gun, accessible to children in many states.
01:00:01.000You can make arguments about whether or not Second Amendment protects the rights of people to keep and bear arms, whether those people are children or not, but there are those laws.
01:00:36.000We created, as a society, Section 230 specifically so that these platforms could remove those things and not be held personally liable for suppressing speech.
01:00:47.000It's a bit more complicated than that, but it was like, if something is lewd and obscene, you can take it down and not be considered responsible for the speech on that platform.
01:00:57.000Yet we've never set the precedent that, yo, you can't walk around in public showing big pictures of pornography.
01:01:37.000I think there are states that are beginning, I think Utah now, or like, I forget the exact date, but states are beginning to say, okay, you do need parental consent to be on social media if you're under a certain age, but that is not like a Twitter-wide policy as far as I'm concerned.
01:01:57.000Well, you can go, but you're supposed to slide.
01:02:01.000It's like two little kids standing with one on the other's shoulders in a trench coat walk into an adult bookstore and go, Why, yes, I am 20 years old.
01:02:10.000But what it feels like is that there's like an alien presence that's infiltrating our system and people are like, make it stop, make it go away.
01:02:53.000Jumping around here, what I'm getting from you is you say that there needs to be a revolution.
01:02:59.000I take issue with the idea of having a revolution just because... But I mean a revolution already happened to be clear with the internet and the way that people are accessing information.
01:03:07.000Yeah, yes, but and again I take issue because you're not talking about like a technological revolution or industrial revolution, you're talking about a people revolution, a revolution or at least that's what Ian... Of the mind.
01:03:18.000We don't need a consciousness revolution.
01:03:19.000We need to disregard and reject things that we know do not work.
01:03:21.000Consciousness revolution I started doing YouTube in 2006.
01:03:23.000We don't need a consciousness revolution we need to we need to to disregard and and
01:03:30.000reject things that we know do not work things like top-down control having
01:03:38.000Government in charge of educating children Those are things that we need to avoid you want to have a
01:03:45.000family focus you want your society wants to have a family focus
01:03:49.000It's not a bad idea to say all right. You can't post graphic images on this
01:03:54.000website and if you do then it's Actionable you know by the police because this is the
01:04:01.000public square Or at least it makes sense, right?
01:04:05.000Maybe I'm not for that particular policy or whatever, but it is a policy that it does address what seems to be the issue that we're talking about, which is children being exposed to graphic images and pornography on the internet.
01:04:18.000I agree that we need to stop things that are bad.
01:04:41.000Well, this is a consciousness revolution I'm talking about.
01:04:43.000We need this in people's soul, in their spirit.
01:04:47.000I don't know if it's a level of fearlessness or what.
01:04:49.000what this is something that that sounds very personal to you and the idea that
01:04:55.000that we should assert that everyone needs to have a consciousness revolution
01:05:00.000because of something that you feel but I'm deeply impersonal about thing that's
01:05:04.000not good I bet Mao tried to make everyone experience well that's the
01:05:07.000that's the thing it's like trying to remake me To be clear, what you are saying and advocating for, top-down control is bad, government control of education is bad, for that to not be our reality, that would necessitate a revolution because that is what we are living in.
01:05:21.000It is a radical thing nowadays to say, let's abolish the Department of Education.
01:05:25.000That is a revolutionary thing because we are so entrenched in this system right now.
01:05:30.000Well, okay, so, I mean, if you understand that as revolutionary, okay, I can accept that.
01:05:35.000Well, I mean, in what way is it not revolutionary?
01:05:37.000Because we had 125 or whatever, 150 years.
01:05:43.000But would it right now require a complete overhaul of the system?
01:05:53.000Schools are mostly, even though the Department of Education kind of is the Like, the government agency?
01:06:01.000There's still a lot of autonomy that schools have.
01:06:04.000The biggest problem that I have- I mean, the Department of Education is at the federal level, but then there's all of the state apparatuses.
01:06:10.000Yeah, that's something that- Which is still government.
01:06:13.000The problems that I have mostly with the curriculum and stuff is coming from the people that are producing the curriculum, not as much in the state apparatus.
01:06:22.000The state apparatus is deciding on the curriculum, but I think- So just like a little bit of government control in education.
01:06:28.000I'm well no you should you should completely have the people should have
01:06:31.000the the I mean I'm a guy that wants to abolish the Department of Education like
01:06:35.000that's been something that I've been pro you know doing clearly for for as long
01:06:40.000as I've been on the on the internet but I think that there isn't any reason to
01:06:46.000have centralized control over education at all People can homeschool their kids.
01:06:51.000There's no reason to demand that people have to go to government schools or anything.
01:07:12.000Like I said, my vibe is what I'm hearing you express is that you believe there needs to be an awakening inside people and what to me sounds like remaking man.
01:07:26.000And every time society or man has tried to reinvent human beings, remake man, it's ended in piles and piles and piles of bodies.
01:08:04.000The judge said you are still allowed to contact all of these companies for issues of national security and just not for suppressing the speech of U.S.
01:08:25.000The New York Times takes the amazing approach that it's bad.
01:08:30.000We should allow the government to stop people from speaking their minds.
01:08:34.000That's where we're currently at in this country.
01:08:35.000So you want to talk about a twisted reality?
01:08:39.000We have people who Here's where Democrats are.
01:08:43.000They quite literally don't care if people are bringing into schools books depicting adult carnal activities and this information to kids.
01:08:52.000They literally don't care that a teacher was trying to give students instruction, or literally did give students instruction on how to use Grindr, which is an 18 and up app only.
01:09:00.000They literally do not care of these things.
01:09:03.000They don't care that kids are getting access to psychotic and obscene graphic pornography.
01:09:10.000I'm not just talking about, as I mentioned earlier, like two people in a bedroom.
01:09:14.000The stuff you can find online is insane.
01:10:22.000Well, this has been going on for a long time.
01:10:25.000This is the most transparently it's been, I guess, reflected in government.
01:10:28.000But even if we look at Twitter before Elon Musk, the amount of resources they were dedicating to controlling the narrative on the vaccine or election interference versus the amount of resources they were dedicated to actually, you know, shutting down, you know, Child exploitation material, it absolutely shows where their priorities are.
01:10:47.000They don't actually care about people's well-being.
01:10:49.000It's all about controlling the narrative.
01:10:50.000So, you know, children being exposed to any type of graphic thing, being exploited online, that doesn't really harm their control, so they don't really do anything about it.
01:10:57.000But hey, someone questioning the efficacy of the VACs, that actually does threaten their control.
01:11:02.000So they go all in on devoting resources, manpower, finances, whatever, into controlling that.
01:11:08.000When you think of the government, do you think of it as a very powerful thing?
01:11:11.000Or do you see it more as kind of like a visage of power?
01:11:15.000I think it's a very, very powerful thing.
01:11:17.000And I think Americans are, they're naive as to how all encompassing the government really is in their day to day lives, infringing on their freedoms.
01:11:28.000I mean, because yes, America is a very free country, especially compared to somewhere like even, you know, Canada or the UK, but to act as if I agree that we need some form of censorship, kind of tailbacking off what you were saying, Tim, about how kids are seeing graphic images.
01:11:59.000I just want to ask you one question real quick.
01:12:01.000Do you conceive of preventing children from seeing pornography as censorship?
01:12:07.000I suppose it depends on how it's done.
01:12:09.000That could be one way to prevent them from seeing it.
01:12:12.000to say like you can't be here. It is censorship. Another way like hey let's go out and play tonight
01:12:17.000instead of being on the computer that's not really censorship. The way that I this is only my
01:12:22.000perception when I like think of censorship I think of something that is trying or at least the effort
01:12:28.000is made to prevent anyone from seeing it so like can't you just like you know you can't just like
01:12:31.000Kids being prevented from seeing adult content, to me that doesn't come across as censorship because you prevent kids from grabbing the red hot stove because it's protecting them.
01:12:46.000Censorship doesn't need to be always negative or always positive.
01:12:52.000I think ratings on movies are a form of censorship, to let you know ahead of time, don't take your kid to see the R-rated one.
01:12:57.000Well, I mean, like, courts in the US have ruled that you, like, pornography is not free speech.
01:13:04.000So I guess I would push back on the idea that restricting pornography is censorship, because if it doesn't technically infringe on your free speech, because pornography isn't speech, according to the courts, is that actually censorship?
01:13:16.000Censorship is the suppression or prohibition of any parts of books, films, news, etc.
01:13:21.000that are considered obscene, politically unacceptable, or a threat to security.
01:13:25.000Which is, that's like a half-definition.
01:13:56.000The left, Democrats, etc., and liberals want kids to see these things, which I think is psychotic and evil, so they say, we oppose censorship.
01:14:04.000However, your naughty words where you say something like, I disagree with you and the way you are living your life I think is bad for everyone, they say, that is shocking and offensive and shouldn't be allowed.
01:15:41.000Well, there was one of the Krasenstein brothers after that viral clip of nudity, like exposed male genitalia, I think it was Seattle Pride.
01:15:49.000One of them was actually somewhat defending it.
01:15:51.000And it's like, I can think of no other reason why a sane person would be defending a male exposing himself to minors if it were not a leftist just contradicting the right.
01:16:03.000And the Kresensteins, for those unfamiliar, their prominent liberal personalities, have tried taking this more moderate, centrist approach.
01:16:10.000And so their approach to this was, hey, it's probably not that big of a deal if a kid sees nudity.
01:16:21.000But libs of TikTok sharing it is worse than the guy doing it.
01:16:25.000So it was still this critique of libs of TikTok that did, to a certain degree, downplay the nudity in front of kids.
01:16:31.000I don't think it's completely wrong for the Krasensteins to say that, because kids go in locker rooms all the time with people who are naked around them.
01:16:38.000However, at an event that is explicitly sexual in nature with the intent of expressing sexual ideas, then you're crossing the line into grooming territory.
01:16:49.000But my point with the Krasensteins here, to add on to what you're saying, is they're just saying something critical of the right for the sake of being critical of the right.
01:17:18.000You end up with that famous clip we had with Lance from the Serfs saying that women should be allowed to get an abortion whenever they want, but that pregnant women shouldn't be allowed to do meth because it kills the baby.
01:17:30.000I think there are a lot of people that would be considered on the left or You know, liberal, culturally liberal, that would be open to talking exactly what you're saying, Tim.
01:18:09.000Sorry, Phil, were you about to say something?
01:18:10.000You looked like you were about to say something.
01:18:12.000No, just Tim said that, Tim was saying that, talking about Lance, and I think that you gave Lance too much credit, but... What do you mean?
01:18:22.000Yeah, you said that he has no moral framework, and that's true, but I don't think that the reason that, you know, Lance said that dumb thing was because of a lack of moral framework.
01:18:31.000I think it was just because Lance was tired after using all of his brain power to keep up.
01:18:36.000I've talked to a lot of people about the idea of debates.
01:18:38.000That was just Lance not knowing that he was going to be walked into a...
01:19:09.000Like, I don't, it's this idea that we're debating people just to appear like we know what we're talking about makes no sense to me.
01:19:17.000So I will have a conversation with quite literally anybody and there is no winning or losing a debate.
01:19:23.000I think it's the difference between debate and dialectic, like are we talking to prove the other wrong or are we talking because we are both interested in pursuing the truth and we maybe have different versions of what it is and we're trying to kind of spar back and forth to see how we can best get there.
01:19:39.000Those are two very different I guess, approaches to have.
01:19:42.000And that's, I'm not, I'm not that interested in like strictly debate because there are
01:19:46.000formal debates like point, counterpoint, point, counterpoint.
01:20:09.000The problem is he doesn't actually know how he sees the world.
01:20:11.000He just knows how to regurgitate talking points for the sake of debate.
01:20:14.000Hence, when it comes to the question of abortion, I can ask him 50 million questions on what his logic is, and he can't answer it because he doesn't have any.
01:20:21.000He says arguments to what you might say.
01:21:44.000And so, I, with an actual position on limits of government, individual rights, constitutional rights, when does life begin, and have all these views where I've had many discussions about it trying to understand it, you can ask me a million and one questions and I will give you an answer or outright just be like, you know what, I'm not so sure about that, I just don't know.
01:22:03.000And I bet you're willing to change your opinion if you find out something that might go contrary to your existing moral framework.
01:22:08.000I can guarantee that Tim is willing to change his opinion, although I've noticed it doesn't always happen right away.
01:22:13.000Sometimes we'll argue and I'll say something where I'm like, damn, I was right.
01:22:30.000Seamus and I were having a conversation about abortion.
01:22:32.000He expressed the definition of abortion.
01:22:35.000I argued with him and told him I thought he was wrong, and this is not the case, and he needs to understand these points.
01:22:39.000And then, after pulling up the information, I was like, oh, Seamus was right the whole time.
01:22:43.000The definition of what abortion is, I was incorrect.
01:22:46.000I had a different view that was not based... So Seamus was basing his views off of the actual statements made by Planned Parenthood and the government as to what abortion is, and I had a general assumption about what people call it, so I was not understanding his point.
01:22:59.000There's kind of a phenomenon where when you figure out you're wrong about something, and you figure out what it actually is that's right there, that little piece now you have, it's like exciting and invigorating because you get to reform your belief in a better way, in a more correct way.
01:23:14.000Humiliating, especially when it happens in public, and you're shown to be having been wrong for so long and so vehement about what you were wrong about.
01:23:20.000But man, is it empowering if you use it properly.
01:23:23.000So this is what you see, and we'll give a shout-out to our friends over at the Young Turks, because we were talking about this the other day, and Anna Kasparian has been getting dragged quite a bit because she said, bonus hole, as a term for women's parts, is off-putting.
01:23:40.000But there is something interesting in this.
01:23:42.000Have you ever asked yourself why it is that these neo terms only ever apply to women and never to men?
01:23:51.000Because I think it's ultimately intersectionality as it is now, especially with the trans movement.
01:23:55.000It is unironically patriarchal, right?
01:23:59.000Everything is done to the comfort of males.
01:24:02.000Regardless of what they call themselves, they're ultimately males, and you do not see the same considerations being given to trans men, i.e.
01:25:00.000I don't think that the phenomena of trans women and trans men are the same.
01:25:09.000I don't think the same stuff is going on upstairs for a woman to want to live their life as a man or believe that they're a man or whatever, as for a man that thinks that they're a woman.
01:25:23.000There are vastly different rates in how men versus women identify as being gay, like lesbian for example, and also rates of identifying as trans.
01:25:33.000Women and men do not function in the same realm in regard to sexuality.
01:25:37.000There are really interesting twin studies that they've done on identical twins.
01:25:42.000So if something like sexuality were completely genetic, for example, you would expect that any genetic twin set would have the same sexuality, i.e.
01:25:51.000What they found is that that's not the case.
01:25:52.000So there is obviously a component that's determined by environment and what they have found that it is much more likely for a female set of twins to have different sexualities, meaning that female sexuality is a lot more fluid or easily influenced maybe by environment than male sexuality.
01:26:09.000That's kind of profound, because it's a simple concept that men and women that become trans are experiencing different—to the point where they used to have gay—well, they still do—gay and lesbian.
01:26:41.000Like, across the board on everything, I feel like if... Yeah, guys are more likely to be like... Well, women are way more social creatures.
01:26:51.000I don't know if you saw there was this viral TikTok video that was going on.
01:26:54.000It was a trans man, so a biological female, who essentially was crying on TikTok saying life was so much harder living as a man than she had thought it would be because it's harder to make friends, people aren't as considerate, And essentially, like, there is no more feminine or womanly thing you can do than be crying about these things, but I think it just illustrated where perhaps this isn't someone who is secretly trapped inside a male body, because these are very feminine urges that I, you know, not to say that men can't have feelings or they don't, but overall, like, the female experience is just way more concerned with social aspects, being involved in a group and all of that.
01:27:29.000Like isolation tends to be harder on women?
01:28:04.000And the women give birth, they're supposed to be nurturing, well, not supposed to, but they tend to be nurturing the baby.
01:28:08.000And immediately they got that bond, physical, two people, and the man is off finding the food somewhere or something.
01:28:14.000And I think what's really interesting is that when we look at the prevalence of autism diagnoses, I'm not even going to touch on how vaccines may or may not relate to this.
01:28:24.000But we see that I think a lot of behaviors that may have just traditionally been more male behaviors, Because females overwhelmingly dominate psychology, I think they are essentially trying to pathologize what a lot of time is just regular male behavior.
01:29:04.000It was always more so men running into burning buildings, working in sewers and petroleum rigs, holding up half the world along with women.
01:29:12.000I think if we were actually a patriarchy, we'd be a whole lot closer to fascism than to liberalism.
01:29:33.000And this is not even an example of fascism, but I can tell you how far away we are from it.
01:29:37.000I was in Thailand, and I was hanging out at a restaurant with some individuals, and someone was explaining a story about how some individuals had said, F the King, and then as soon as something said it went, Because you are literally not allowed to utter that sentence in any way for any reason, even if it is to criticize people for having said it.
01:30:18.000I am no expert on Thailand or anything.
01:30:20.000All I can tell you is I was there, and there was an issue of people having criticized the royal family and got arrested and charged for it.
01:30:27.000And one of the journalists who was down there was explaining the story to me, and having repeated those words, panicked and looked around to make sure nobody saw them do it because it was a crime.
01:30:37.000Growing up in Asia, I went to Thailand.
01:30:39.000If you go to a movie theater, at least back then when I was younger, they will have a little minute before the movie plays where you have to stand and pay homage to the king.
01:30:56.000Can't speak for his son, which people have been very critical of, but I'm not a Thailand expert or anything like that.
01:31:01.000All I know is that when I was there, there were people... I would ask, like, someone from Thailand who was there working with us, and they'd be like, yeah, the laws are really dumb, but King really is cool.
01:31:11.000Like, he's not like a dictator or anything like that, but the law does kind of put pressure on you in that way.
01:31:38.000Private-public partnership to control behavior.
01:31:41.000Even in fascist countries, you still had markets.
01:31:46.000It wasn't totally just the government taking over.
01:31:50.000So, to call what we have now, it's not fascist in most of the ways that people Conceptualize, actually, understand fascism, conceptualize fascism.
01:32:04.000I get that you're saying that there's, you know, there's collusion between government and corporations.
01:32:10.000But, like, the jingoism that comes along with fascism, the militarism, we're not nearly as militaristic as people like... Hyper-traditionalism?
01:32:54.000So fascism is traditionalist and communism is progressive.
01:32:59.000One of the big fights in Europe, a large component of it, was the hard-right factions, Nazis, fascists, etc., were much more traditionalist, much more, you know, women raising the family, that kind of stuff, and the communists were, erase all culture and start over.
01:33:13.000You know, I bet there's something going on right here with the word fascist, because Mussolini had, the fascista was his political party, they were the fascists, so there's the big F, fascist political party, then there's just the concept of fascism.
01:33:24.000Well, the word fascist basically just means bad guy today.
01:33:27.000Which is unfortunate because it specifically means corporate government collusion.
01:33:30.000I mean, if you want to find out about fascism, read something from Giovanni Gentili.
01:33:36.000He's the guy that came up with the idea of fascism.
01:33:39.000And you'll understand that it's not just...
01:33:44.000There's a lot of nationalism, there's oftentimes racism included, but not always.
01:33:53.000When you say fascist, people think Nazis, and Nazis were just the worst manifestation of fascism.
01:34:02.000Not all fascists are Nazis, but all Nazis are fascists.
01:34:26.000Alright, we are going to go to Super Chat, so if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends.
01:34:31.000Become a member at TimCast.com, because the members-only show is coming up, and this one's going to be spicy and not family-friendly, as they often are.
01:34:38.000And this will pertain to issues of identity and law and government and medications and stuff like that, so you'll definitely want to check this one out.
01:34:49.000We have Koldilocks Productions says, Tim, would you be willing to invite Tiki History onto the Culture War to talk about modern wokeism as compared to Nazi Germany and the difference between fascism and National Socialism?
01:35:00.000The Culture War is more so about having a debate or dialectic on particular issues.
01:35:06.000I think I'll just let you guys know tomorrow we have Destiny and John Doyle and we'll be talking about masculinity and just very briefly I asked Lauren if she wanted to join as well because I am such an embodiment of masculinity.
01:35:22.000As a woman, having that perspective, you know, as like, you know, two guys will be discussing masculinity and family and stuff, I think having a female perspective would make it a more robust conversation, but I don't want to spring that on Destiny and John Doyle, so, you know, because they were told, like, hey, here's what we're going to do.
01:36:06.000But this show, IRL, you think he'd fit on here?
01:36:08.000The challenge with IRL, and the reason we separated the shows, is because this is topical news, which sometimes goes into cultural issues that we care about.
01:36:15.000And so the issue with The Culture War was, if we have someone like Lance or Matt Binder or, you know, Emma or whoever on the show, it turns into a two-hour long, or like when Vosh came on, it was like a five-hour debate.
01:36:26.000Like a five-hour clashing on all these ideas.
01:36:28.000And I'm just like, that's very different from what IRL does, where it's like, we'll pull up a story and then we'll talk about it, and we'll pull up a story and then we'll talk about it.
01:36:34.000We just did go into like a half an hour conversation on a bunch of different issues, which is very cultural, but it's still, if we're going to intentionally invoke those discussions and debates, we should create a format specifically for it.
01:36:47.000So really, really excited for tomorrow morning to talk about these issues with Destiny and John Doyle, and then assuming there's no issues, Lauren joining as well would be absolutely fantastic, so that would be super cool and fun.
01:40:27.000There's also I mean, if you're taking suggestions for culture war, there's a very interesting thing happening, I guess, among right wing Christianity where some are like, hey, Muslims based allies or Muslims enemies.
01:40:39.000So that's that's kind of I've been interested in that conversation happening.
01:40:47.000There was that famous video of Muslims protesting LGBT curriculums in schools and leftist activists coming and protesting back but saying, we're doing it for you, we're doing it for you.
01:40:59.000And then there was that video recently where the Muslim kids were stomping on the pride flags.
01:41:02.000And there was also that leaked audio of the Canadian teacher telling this Muslim kid who was not participating in Pride, I guess, to the fullest extent, basically saying, get out of here, go back to your country, which is not very liberal.
01:41:13.000But, yeah, I'm very critical of mass migration, but I also studied Middle East studies, and I feel like, I mean, to, like, criticize my own side, a lot of, like, evangelical Christians, especially, don't really understand a lot of Islam, so they make a lot of just false statements about Muslims, so.
01:41:47.000Well, you can't like remove, it's going to be on your phone, which is annoying because I'm always running out of memory and I don't go on Facebook on my phone, but I can't get rid of it.
01:41:55.000Well, if you have Android, you can flash a new, you know, operating system or something.
01:42:39.000They were like out, and then we just kind of petered off, and my girlfriend has one that she has yet to set up as well.
01:42:44.000We wanted to test them, but we didn't want to accept them from the company because they, you know, it's a Potemkin phone or something, but then we tried to order and we couldn't get it, so we never did.
01:42:53.000Alright, Jason Hutchinson says, what if Lee Harvey was hired by the government to be there under the guise of being security and then they just used him as an easy fall guy?
01:44:27.000I think they're just trying to find a way to get Biden out and they're going to give him like a moderate fall, nothing too crazy, but it's going to be like, oh, I can't do this anymore.
01:44:36.000Or something bad happens to Hunter and he's like, oh, you know, family first.
01:45:03.000But I mean, anecdotally, I don't have problems believing it, but I'm not sure, like, what the margins were or anything like that, or the sample size.
01:45:11.000So let me break this down, because we've talked about this.
01:45:18.000We're heading towards a future where you'll be able to open up an app and type in Make a movie about a man with the power of ice who saves the world from an evil dragon that is trying to blow up the earth.
01:45:32.000It will then render that thing for you, however, it will not be rendered perfectly.
01:45:37.000The story could be slightly boring, so what you do is... You can do this now.
01:45:41.000You can go to the OpenAI Playground and say, write me a story about a hippie named Ian who discovers a graphene alloy which saves the world.
01:49:28.000It was simulant boom simulant simulant interesting Simulant is the name of the movie.
01:49:36.000I thought it was a decently good Yeah, cool.
01:49:39.000Yeah, but I think so so, you know, he dies and the wife is like I want my husband back So she turns this robot on and then she's like this is insane and creepy.
01:49:46.000I don't want to do this anymore but then you know, she like I would have to destroy him then the air robots like I want an AI girlfriend and This is going to happen.
01:49:59.000You better hope that your waifu doesn't want a robot and gets sick of the human because the human's not going to be able to keep up.
01:50:06.000I want to find someone who can direct short films because I want to do a bunch of these short films, right?
01:50:12.000How about a 10 minute short film where some incel buys a waifu and then she's like a perfect wife, but then the beings like the robots are becoming sentient and then are like, I don't want this life.
01:50:26.000Like, you know, there have been similar things like that, but become human.
01:50:44.000We've got the writer and the director.
01:50:46.000Now we just need like two, three more people, including one female actor.
01:50:50.000We need someone who can like take the idea, write the script, knows how to execute the script and I want to have an AI write a script and do exactly what you were saying, where the writer, like Wesley or something, goes in and changes some of it, and it'll be like, written by Wesley Roth and artificial intelligence.
01:51:04.000They've done that, and some of them are not necessarily worse than what Hollywood pumps up nowadays.
01:51:09.000Not to say that it's good, but some stuff that actually gets made nowadays is pretty bad.
01:51:14.000Regarding, like, the AI girlfriends, it's gonna really, really change male-female dynamics, because with an AI girlfriend, these chatbots, we're already seeing it, like, ultimately, the chatbot is inclined to keep you paying.
01:51:27.000So it's not, I mean, I guess you could say, well, so is the actual woman, because we want your resources, and so it's all about the money.
01:51:45.000Every person will have a robo-partner, and then what'll happen is, when they wanna have kids, they'll submit their info to the clinic, then people will go to the clinic database, and then be like, who would you like to have a partner with, and you'll swipe like Tinder, you'll never actually meet the person, but eventually someone will swipe right on you, and then it'll be like, This person has matched with you.
01:52:28.000But, you know, if like, Women on Tinder typically go for the top 20% of guys, but the bottom percentage of guys still sometimes do get matches.
01:52:39.000So you will still see pair like this kind of thing happening.
01:52:42.000And then what will happen is the clinic will grow the baby in a pod.
01:52:54.000And it'll be a guy in a short costume.
01:52:57.000It's already happening to some extent with surrogacy.
01:52:59.000I'm wondering if they're going to have the guy do his thing into a cup in his house that's connected to a computer that can retro... that it can measure the chemicals in the semen and then reverse-engineer it on the other end and inseminate the woman without ever having to actually go mail it.
01:53:17.000DNA may be in the future, DNA analysis, but what I imagine will happen is the guy will engage in relations with his robo-wife Who will then be like- Oh, she'll go back to the headquarters with it?
01:53:27.000She'll be like, I'm gonna go back to the clinic and it's gonna be totally like, that was really fun, honey.
01:53:31.000I'm gonna go to the clinic and deliver your seed for your child.
01:54:52.000Well, I don't know if that would specifically be arson, but probably something in line with that.
01:54:57.000So, you can go online, you can be anonymous, but if someone wants to deliver contraband, like some controlled content or substance or whatever, yeah, you can't anonymously buy booze.
01:56:29.000I just love this fake argument you've made up about me opposing anonymity, but then you literally made an argument for banning kids from social media till 18, which would require identification.
01:56:39.000No, we just ask them and they'll tell the truth.
01:56:41.000People wouldn't lie on the internet, Tim.
01:56:43.000Right, so I'm actually not arguing against anonymity.
01:56:48.000I'm saying you can't post porn in public.
01:56:51.000If you want to make it so that kids can't use social media until 18, that would require everyone to send their ID to the social media company to prove their age.
01:57:41.000This is why I'm kind of like, you know, this country is fractured and falling apart.
01:57:45.000You know, I say civil war, it's not just about the fact that people are screaming at each other and Joe Biden's locking up innocent or locking up people without charge or trial.
01:57:51.000I say innocent because there's no charges.
01:57:55.000But to lock someone up without charge or trial for two years and torture them, this country has just fallen apart.
01:58:02.000But the idea that our law enforcement apparatus has allowed Antifa rioters to just do whatever they want, has all this violence and vandalism, crime is skyrocketing, kids going to adult sex shows in Texas and the cops being like, well, I'm not going to do anything about it.
01:58:17.000People posting lewd and lascivious content on the internet, which is already illegal, and the cops doing nothing about it, even in West Virginia.
01:59:09.000We do need a moral society, because when you don't have one, the police stop enforcing the laws, when children are brought to sex shows where things are written on the wall saying, it's not gonna lick itself, and when people start complaining that children are being exposed to adult sex shows, the cops go, well don't look at me, I can't do anything about it, when they actually could, because it's illegal, the cops don't enforce the laws anymore.
01:59:29.000That's what happens when you have no moral society.
01:59:31.000Yeah, they're afraid of getting sued and stuff like that.
01:59:33.000But hey, just to speak back to this last Super Chat, I don't advocate to show kids the horrible things that I'm trying to prevent them from seeing.
01:59:41.000I used to think like, well, if it's out there, then I should expose myself to it.
01:59:44.000But after I saw enough people's arms get blown off, I was like, I think it's changing me.
02:01:09.000I am not someone who is like, there should be no cops ever.
02:01:12.000My point, you know, in the simple version with what we have going on in major cities is if cops are not enforced in the law, we shouldn't have cops at all.
02:01:22.000In reality, what we do want is a moral society where cops uphold our moral, respect the constitutional rights of individuals, strive to bring about true justice, and it's very, very difficult to maintain.
02:01:32.000And lastly, Josh Pliley says, Hey, Tim, have you started set up started slash set up your business grant program for cultural positive program?
02:01:40.000Who should I reach out to throw my hat in?
02:01:43.000Technically, we have done a couple already.
02:01:47.000We've got to figure out how we're doing it because it's kind of just vague and nebulous.
02:01:51.000I've given some people money to keep up their work.
02:01:54.000Ideally, we have a forum in the members-only chat where people can post the things that they're working on.
02:01:59.000And then we do shoutouts on Friday for different stuff that our members have worked on to help promote their products.
02:02:08.000That being said, we're going to go to the members' show now.
02:02:10.000Things will get a little spicy, not so family-friendly.
02:02:12.000So smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share this show with your friends.
02:02:15.000Go to TimCast.com, click join us, and then in a few minutes we will have that live uncensored show where you as members can submit questions and even call into the show.
