In this episode, we discuss a political theory that has been around for a while, but is starting to gain ground in the minds of people across the political spectrum. It s based on the idea that there are significant psychological differences between men and women, and that these psychological differences are the root cause of our political differences.
00:00:00.000What if we saw men and women begin to cluster within two parties instead of this urban-rural divide being the primary differentiator between the parties?
00:00:07.980So here I'm going to put up a chart where you see you have a huge explosion of difference in South Korea, a smaller one in the United States, a larger one in Germany, and a large one in the UK as well.
00:00:33.640Okay, well, we are here to discuss a political theory I have had for a while.
00:00:38.780And it's weird because actually, like, I'm surprised we haven't seen this happen more.
00:00:44.080And now we're really beginning to see it play out in politics.
00:00:47.960And I don't, like, it's one of the theories where I was like, I'm surprised more people didn't have this theory or didn't think this was going to happen.
00:00:54.520And Simone pointed out that during women's suffrage, actually, a lot of people did expect this to happen.
00:01:00.440I just need to go back to those old articles before ideas like this were banned from the general population.
00:01:24.340And if you look at, well, I mean, it's, you know, and I mentioned this.
00:01:27.540I often get sad when I think about, like, Neanderthals going extinct.
00:01:30.500How cool would it be if, like, another type of human lived on this world that we could commune with and learn from and see the world differently from their perspective?
00:01:39.640Because they'd almost certainly have, like, systemic psychological differences from us.
00:01:45.520And, like, even better than that, with this male-female thing, you get to, like, make out with them and you get to choose one as, like, your primary partner for life.
00:01:58.320But there are sustained psychological differences between men and women.
00:02:02.280Which people, I think, you know, the left doesn't want to, it doesn't want to talk about it, it doesn't want to admit it, because they have this belief that all humans are the same, all humans are exactly psychologically the same, all humans have exactly the same proficiencies, and yet somehow diversity matters.
00:02:21.400Diversity doesn't matter if we're not different.
00:02:24.400Diversity is a thing of value because we are different, you knobs.
00:02:28.880What you actually mean is you are incapable of dealing with a world in which genuine diversity exists.
00:02:35.180And this is something we see when leftists start shrieking, when they're like, but if you genetically select your kids for IQ, what if your kids are smarter than the general population?
00:02:44.280And it's like, the world isn't hurt because some smarter people exist.
00:02:52.980Well, and as Johnny Anomaly argues in the book, Future Humans, higher IQ is pretty well documented to be associated with pro-sociality, you know, plus, you know, a better economy, all these other good things.
00:03:05.540So basically, if you are an incredibly dumb person, you want to live where there are smart people.
00:03:11.420But the point being is it's an incredibly sociopathic thing to say.
00:03:17.500And what they really mean by saying that is because the way that their party and their ideology has been able to justify and engage with diversity is through pretending that diversity doesn't actually exist.
00:03:31.880When they recognize that through things like genetic selection, human diversity may come to exist, they psychologically are incapable of dealing with that.
00:03:41.600And as such, their only action is to maintain human genetic purity and prevent people like us from breeding because they don't like that we pollute the human gene pool with science.
00:03:52.940They don't like my little pencil neck and our glasses.
00:03:56.120It's so funny when people like in articles that make fun of us or in like chat threads that make or whatever, like Reddit threads that make fun of us for being eugenicists.
00:04:04.180You know, they accuse us of that, even though they're totally wrong.
00:04:06.560Then they like proceed to be like in there.
00:04:32.240But anyway, so I had this theory where I was thinking where it's like, okay, so and this is true, men and women vote differently, right?
00:04:40.340They have different views on subjects and they relate to political subjects in different ways.
00:04:44.560That men and women would drift towards sort of their own political parties and that the primary political divide in the world would become a male-female divide rather than a party or inclination divide.
00:05:00.080And so, you know, historically, if you look at the United States, what the political divide had been up until recently was an urban-rural divide, urban populations versus rural populations.
00:05:13.440You know, the urban populations were the Democrats and the rural populations were the Republicans.
00:05:17.460And as the Democrats became more of a monoculture, like as the city centers began to be eaten by the mimetic virus, which is sort of eating the world and the only place where you could have diversity anymore was within rural population centers, the Republicans became the party of diversity and the Democrats became the party of conformity.
00:05:35.440Now, of course, they superficially need to pretend like they care about diversity because they want diversity of victims for the virus.
00:05:41.320They don't care what you look like or what your background is or what your moral fortitude is.
00:05:47.960If they can convert you, they'll take you.
00:05:49.900And that's what they mean by diversity.
00:05:51.660But they don't actually tolerate any sort of diversity of ideologies or cultural perspectives outside of in the most token of contexts.
00:06:15.140But once you join, you cannot ideological differ on any meaningful point.
00:06:19.140You can't differ on what you think about human sexuality.
00:06:21.160You can't differ on what you think about gender.
00:06:22.700You can't differ on what you think about a relation to the environment.
00:06:25.060You can't differ on what you think about morality.
00:06:27.040You can't differ on what you think about the future of our species should be.
00:06:29.700So there's just a really tight constraint on the cultural practices here.
00:06:34.040You can wear your little funny hat and say that you're from a culturally different – you can't even say that humans are different from each other.
00:06:43.100Whereas the diversity of rural cultures, they genuinely do have a diversity of belief systems.
00:06:49.180But anyway, so I was like, well, what if we saw men and women begin to cluster within two parties instead of this urban-rural divide being the primary differentiator between the parties?
00:06:59.300And now I think that that's what we're seeing, and we're seeing it more and more these last few years.
00:07:04.120Why it's happened these last few years, I don't know.
00:07:06.000But I'm going to put a graph on the screen.
00:07:07.420It appears to be tied directly to modern sort of potentially demographic collapse or the internet.
00:07:17.540And we can hypothesize this to – or really a bit after the proliferation of mobile phones.
00:07:22.300So here I'm going to put up a chart where you see you have a huge explosion of difference in South Korea, a smaller one in the United States, a larger one in Germany, and a large one in the UK as well.
00:07:36.260So let's just talk about what we're seeing in these different graphs.
00:07:38.300So in South Korea, you see men going significantly more conservative starting around 2015 and then just exploding in the conservative direction.
00:07:52.260Yeah, so the young men in South Korea specifically prefer the conservative opposition People Power Party, and the young women of South Korea are polarizing into the liberal Democratic Party.
00:08:10.540Well, and there's something that you see in most of these graphs as well, particularly in the U.S. graph, is that if you go to the 1980s, it was actually women who were more likely to be conservative and men who were more likely to be progressive.
00:08:23.300But isn't that when the conservative party was more conformist?
00:08:26.840That's what you're really seeing here is a conformist versus anti-conformist tendency, whereas this is when the satanic panic was happening.
00:08:34.240This is when the conservative party was really controlled by panicky housewives who were afraid that their kids were listening to too much rock and roll.
00:08:42.160And, of course, that appeals to the same conservative, whatever you saw, lower C conservative intuition that women have, which is that they need to control what everyone else is thinking and doing.
00:08:54.620And so in the U.S., what you see, which is really interesting, is that after you have this switch in parties, which happened in the 80s, men have actually stayed about the same in their political beliefs, whereas women have gone far, far, far to the left.
00:09:34.960Well, I think that's why women don't want to marry these men anymore, because they all expect women to have these really conservative attitudes.
00:09:40.960But yeah, no, it is men who have gone off the deep end in South Korea.
00:09:44.720Women have gone off the deep end in the U.S.
00:09:46.480In Germany, it's women who have gone off the deep end.
00:09:48.760And in the U.K., a very interesting phenomenon happened that you might be surprised about.
00:09:54.120Men and women actually tracked with women being more conservative until around 2010.
00:10:17.840Like, this is not what I expected to see, but it does make sense.
00:10:21.900So if you have, like, this two-species world, basically, men are for Mars, men are for Venus, that's the way you explain it to, like, a dumb person.
00:10:30.340With me, I'm like, men are Neanderthals, women are Homo sapiens.
00:10:33.620Like, two different, like, biological perspectives on realities.
00:10:37.300It makes sense when you – I think it's really the internet that caused this.
00:10:41.640When you have the internet and people are able to find common cause, especially – actually, no, I'm going to take it back.
00:10:47.600It's not the internet that caused this.
00:10:50.560The breakdown of relationship structure.
00:10:54.020I think what historically caused men and women to converge on a similar political ideology is that most men and women were married.
00:11:03.080Oh, so that is to say that they aligned over something bigger than just themselves and therefore found common ground?
00:11:09.000Yeah, not only that, but you had these two different iterations of humanity, but they were always living in these partnerships with each other.
00:11:16.820And so there was some motivation to learn how the other side thought and to learn the other side's value system and to be tempered by that other side.
00:11:24.260I mean, I think a lot of Red Pillars, they come to our podcast and they're like, wow, he looks so cut in the way he relates to ideas.
00:11:30.400And it's like, no, I just understand that there's value in multiple perspectives and my wife brings me value in helping me see a more holistic picture of the world.
00:11:40.180Well, but I think we should also discuss why the progressive ideology has become so dominant when in the past a – you know, like masculine leadership has been dominant.
00:11:52.360And I think the problem is that now governing structures are bureaucratic in nature.
00:11:59.920Like that is just how governments work.
00:15:36.700There is much less desire to seek what is true,
00:15:39.820and much more desire for conformity, regardless if this is true or that is true.
00:15:46.220And then it leads to higher amounts of these negative things happening within these communities.
00:15:50.240So I think that that's one thing, right, is sexual access.
00:15:52.480And they're able to use sexual access to pull out all the sociopathic men and all the narcissistic men.
00:15:57.420And just, you know, like, this is generally what I think.
00:15:59.040When I see a man who is a far progressive, I generally think he must be a sociopath or a narcissist.
00:16:03.920Some level of, like, dark pride personality traits there.
00:16:07.040Then the other thing that you see is this higher performance within bureaucratic organizations.
00:16:13.300I think that's another thing that leads to it.
00:16:14.880And the final thing is that I think that before this, the parties really were genuinely divided into an urban optimization function
00:16:21.140and a rural optimization function for these different economic sectors within our country.
00:16:25.780I mean, historically, whenever you've had two different economic sectors in that country,
00:16:29.080that's where the parties have sort of coagulated.
00:16:32.500And the urban, the previous urban faction, of course, is going to have more power than the rural faction.
00:16:38.080And, of course, it's going to be more conformist than the rural faction because an individual who isn't conformist is going to leave urban population centers.
00:16:46.320Do you have additional thoughts on this?
00:16:48.180Or I remember you had some really piffy thing that you said this morning.
00:17:03.760You are always so entertaining when we're having these pre-whatever talks, and now our audience doesn't get to hear your brilliance.
00:17:10.740I love that you still provide this plausible deniability that I may actually sometimes have good ideas when, like, really, honestly, let's be honest.
00:17:18.040Most of my ideas are actually good ideas.
00:21:33.780We lose our money investing all the time.
00:21:36.260Like, I think people act like investing is, like, a sure thing, right?
00:21:39.320Like, we lose our money investing all the time.
00:21:42.340Probably, well, until now, we've probably made slightly more money investing than we've lost in terms of high-risk deals.
00:21:47.760But even still, like, you, if you are not incredibly smart and incredibly judicious and putting an incredible amount of work into embedding these investments, and these investments allow other people, people without capital, people without, you know, for example.
00:22:03.720And they're like, oh, yeah, well, you're just giving it to, like, Harvard grads or something like that.
00:22:08.800And it's like, well, actually, if you give money to Harvard grads, you're going to make significantly less money off of those investments.
00:22:15.560The investments where we make the most money are the money where people don't want to give that individual money because there's something about them.
00:22:21.940Like, in Korea, we would often invest in people who dropped out of college.
00:22:24.820In the U.S., we invest in people who have been in the prison system because nobody else wants to give them money so we can get better terms.
00:22:30.360And they're like, isn't that, like, using them?
00:22:33.500And it's like, no, like, this is why capitalism is good because they're offering this better term.
00:22:39.160Somebody who otherwise wouldn't have looked at them now thinks that this is a potentially interesting investment and we can all benefit.
00:22:46.020It's a very beautiful system, to be honest.
00:22:48.180But, of course, to a conformist who wants to do nothing, you know, one of the posts I saw this morning that really got me is it was, like, they were mad that women were not just, like, standing in front of watering holes.
00:22:58.500They're like, I was, as a woman, meant to just, like, stand around and look beautiful all day in front of, like, water nymphs, like, around pools of water, right?
00:24:47.840The existing charter cities will create a good one.
00:24:50.460Yeah, well, but then it's really a fiefdom.
00:24:53.000Like, it is so, it's, like, basically, like, a ruler or a business that creates some sovereign territory that people move to because it's actually functioning.
00:25:01.520And I, I just don't, I, so, my, here's my problem with charter cities.
00:25:07.380And maybe this is totally wrong, and I'd love for you to school me in where I'm just not that convinced, is people who create a city just to create a city are not going to create a good city.
00:25:19.480Good cities come from economic opportunity.
00:25:23.620They come from people who are already, like, wealthy or producing or doing something really amazing.
00:25:27.940Because you're thinking in a historic context.
00:25:30.360And that is true in a historic context, but the world has changed.
00:25:33.540In a world with rapidly declining populations in the economically productive countries and population pools, historically, when you had an ever-increasing world talent pool,
00:25:43.380things of a discrete quantity increased in value on average, whether it's gold or land or Bitcoin, when you have a rapidly decreasing quantity of individuals who are economically productive,
00:25:57.640it is the individuals themselves who become the primary units of account within a society.
00:26:02.460And so, as far as those individuals are mobile, they will leave the countries they're in and move to these charter cities, which makes these charter cities the primary,
00:26:14.180because countries like the U.S. will become increasingly taken over by these feminist socialist dictatorships, basically, unless they go in the opposite direction.
00:26:22.700And we have a break from our democratic system right now.
00:26:25.820And so, as they become more and more bureaucratic, more and more toxic to live in for anyone who's economically productive or innovative,
00:26:33.400those individuals will leave and go to these small concentrated areas, which will be the economic hubs of the world in the future.
00:26:38.460Do you think these male polarized parties, you know, the Conservative Party in the U.S., the People Power Party in South Korea, are they doomed to fail?
00:26:52.820Is there some world in which masculinity in government can succeed?
00:28:23.620If you look historically in American history, there have been periods of higher political divide where people hated each other more, where people said worse things about the other candidate, right?
00:28:33.760But people still basically believed the democratic system was working.
00:28:37.920When you saw the first Trump election cycle, right, there was genuine disbelief on the left that he had actually been elected.
00:28:47.080And now they are moving to a system, and it's worse than that, okay?
00:28:51.680It's worse than just a disbelief in the system.
00:28:54.820In the left, and you see this within leftist communities today, where I'm like, look, there is actually pretty good evidence of not election fraud in the way that Republicans talk about election fraud, but yeah, there was stuff going on.
00:29:13.300I can't get too into detail here, because this is one of those things where we have special access to information that other people don't have access to.
00:29:19.380And when I talk about this with my other, you know, quote unquote, not other, but like, elitist leftist friends who I have, who consider us part of their peer group, they're like, yeah, but like, it's okay, because Trump can't be elected.
00:30:13.280But the proportion of Americans who feel this way, as people who interact with both the left and the right, both people in high positions within the left and the right, this mindset is becoming increasingly common.
00:30:24.700And you can say that, oh, you guys are evil for saying that we are transitioning to an empire.
00:30:29.560I'm not even saying this is a prescriptive thing.
00:30:32.260I'm just saying it is obviously happening when both parties begin to think it's okay to cheat in elections and begin to deny the election results when they do not turn out in their favor, which both parties are doing increasingly now.
00:30:45.540That is the premonitions or predecessors to an imperial turning or a collapse or one party basically banning the other party or, oh, you know what they would do?
00:30:58.980I mean, classically, like suppose we were in some communist dictatorship, right, right, where like the two party system was basically a scam.
00:31:06.780What they would do is they would just send the leading candidate of the opposing party to jail, you know, tie them up with a bunch of criminal proceedings.
00:31:16.640But that would never happen in the U.S.
00:32:12.180And they're like, oh, but technically you don't need a conviction.
00:32:15.640It's like, okay, if you're saying, well, technically I'm allowed to do this, when it's taking the leading political opposition off a ballot,
00:32:24.380you need to understand that you are setting our system up for a transfer, whether it's your side or ours to an imperial system.
00:32:34.900Because when you think that you can do something that severe to a democratic system, out of a technicality due to wording, you are showing how little respect you have for the will of the people of this country.
00:32:58.480I mean, like when we've done door knocking, for example, you know, we have people saying things like, I just want nothing to do with politics.
00:33:04.200I'm also seeing like an increasing indifference.
00:33:06.760And I wonder if a lot of what's going on, because I don't like, you know, polling can be really off.
00:33:11.700Is if similar with like, you get the impression that like every college student that isn't openly conservative is pro Hamas.
00:33:21.220When like, really, not really, you know, that's, that's not the case, but you get the impression that like America is very polarized on the issue of abortion when no.
00:33:28.780I disagree with you on, on some of the stuff.
00:34:22.420And at one point during my college experience, students did like a sit down in like one of the major college buildings and like didn't allow classes to happen.
00:35:10.140And I feel that right now both sides have.
00:35:12.180OK, so your argument is that both sides have a very clear playbook and each playbook is extremely anti-democratic.
00:35:17.980Yeah, both playbooks are anti-democratic.
00:35:20.720But I also specifically here is the progressive side is incredibly anti-Semitic.
00:35:25.360And anyone who cannot see what happens if they win, any Jew who can't see what happens if they win is honestly, they deserve what they get.
00:35:35.340And people might be like, why would you say that?
00:35:37.200And it's because, well, this experience that I had that was really meaningful to me.
00:35:41.120So I was talking was I might have talked about this in some of our books, but it was my girlfriend in high school.
00:35:59.140So her grandfather escaped the Holocaust and he was in a Jewish community at the time and he had actually read Mein Kampf and that's what hit him off.
00:36:10.820And he was a teenager at the time and he got like, he made such a stink about this.
00:36:15.400Like apparently he like made a big about this to try to get everyone's attention.
00:36:19.080And the community basically kicked him out.
00:36:21.500And so he broke into his girlfriend at the time's house, like broke in, like broke the window, snuck in at night and was like, look, either you come with me or you're definitely going to die.
00:36:32.760And she trusted him and she came with him and he ended up marrying her.
00:36:37.980And this, this girl was a descendant of this family.
00:36:40.240And everyone he knew for, he knew from that community ended up dying.
00:36:43.600Um, and, and I think that when you're saying something, when you're like, look, you don't understand the powers that be are actually threatening to you right now.
00:36:51.800No, I would say with this story, it does not have the happiest.
00:37:07.260He ended up coming to the U.S. from the east.
00:37:10.380That was how bad it ended up having to be.
00:37:12.380But, uh, so he, just like Dante, he just had to go all the way through hell and then just out.
00:37:17.840All the way through hell to come back out and settled on the east coast and had a bunch of descendants and, and lived at, I mean, he was very financially successful in life.
00:37:26.540So he lived a happy, you know, you know, whatever, like, but I think that people don't like, like one of the useful things about studying what was happening and what happened to the Jews who tried to warn their communities about what was about to happen pre Holocaust.
00:38:02.540And worse, the things that are so bad that it would be considered offensive for me to even tell you where this is heading.
00:38:10.380Like, yeah, I mean, what makes me very concerned about this is when the pandemic happened, there was just this complete inability of even really, really, really smart people.
00:38:26.560We know, although a lot of people that I would, so, so many of your smart friend circles did totally see this coming.
00:38:33.540And we're like, guys, everyone, let's get PPE, like in January, you know, like, so many other smart people we knew, like many of the investors in our travel business, for example, we're like, don't worry, this will blow over in four months.
00:38:51.440Yeah, people need to understand with the pandemic, we shut down our company and battered basically all the doors at a stage where if the pandemic happened the way we predicted, because I was like looking at pandemic cases, I have a background training in biology.
00:39:04.600I was like, there is no way this doesn't spread globally.
00:39:06.700I do not know how anyone is saying this isn't going to spread globally.
00:39:14.520People did stuff in response to it, but the pandemic was real.
00:39:17.640When I was like, they're definitely going to shut down and ground all flights.
00:39:21.180If we had been wrong in this assertion, we would have been fired and we would have been permanently disgraced in our fields.
00:39:29.160We bet our careers, our lives, and our livelihoods on the pandemic spreading in the way that it did.
00:39:37.580And we were told that we were insane by otherwise smart people.
00:39:40.960Because at the time, the progressive standpoint was, and a lot of people forget that this was true early in the pandemic, because it was anti the narrative, the people freaking out about the pandemic were called conservative extremists in the very early days.
00:39:56.000And that's just, it makes me afraid, because it means, what are we going to experience with other, like, black swan events?
00:40:13.300And people are completely unwilling to recognize that it could possibly be an issue.
00:40:19.340Well, I love you, and I'm glad that you have so much mental fortitude and that you're here fighting with me for all this, because the world would be screwed if it wasn't for women like you.
00:40:31.940And I really hope that our audience who's out there looking for partners can find good partners.
00:41:57.580See, that's, I mean, you know, we're done.
00:41:59.240That includes the argument, not the argument, the question from the evidence is, is it more the husband or the wife's fault when the wife gets abused, physically abused?
00:42:11.220This is a very spicy question to consider seriously.
00:42:14.740And so, so we don't consider it seriously.
00:42:41.000Obviously, we're going to progressive hell, which it turns out weird is heaven.
00:42:45.840That, that telling the truth, even when it conflicts with the societal narratives, that it turns out that isn't what gets people actually sent to hell.
00:42:55.600It's lying so that you can fit societal narratives and be accepted within a population group that has fallen.
00:43:02.140That that's what gets you sent to hell in the real world.
