hello simone hello malcolm among the american right there have long been fears of overly
00:00:09.700
technophilic individuals there is a whole breakaway civilization what's happening i'm
00:00:14.480
gonna give you the big secret man if you want yes i do this big breakaway civilization of
00:00:18.520
scientists is that true yes what are you from mars let's just say it's super advanced for real i
00:00:23.200
don't ever talk about this for real breakaway civilization are you ready they're the high
00:00:27.160
priests they're scientists right they're engineers tell me what you're trying to say they're racing
00:00:31.560
using human technology to try to take our best minds and build some type of breakaway civilization
00:00:38.320
where they're gonna break away from the failed species of this man where are you getting this
00:00:42.120
from you read their own writings they believe we're this fallen species hello i have to say that's us
00:00:48.540
right here the ones that you're afraid of sometimes i worry he's read our stuff from the moment i
00:00:53.540
understood the weakness of my flesh it disgusted me this has been really interesting as our movement
00:01:04.900
has grown as a right-leaning movement and as it has integrated with the larger new right uh which is
00:01:12.680
made up of all of these new i guess you could say like tech entrepreneur types is sort of the core of
00:01:19.300
the new right whether it's the elons or the peter thiels or the mark andreesons or people like us
00:01:24.980
this movement has been emerging and i think with the jd vance interview when he's obviously not 100%
00:01:32.020
in the new right but he is definitely on the new right spectrum definitely closer to the new right
00:01:37.280
than legacy gop and we have done some stuff where we talk about like a new right manifesto where we
00:01:42.480
describe the larger political philosophy of the new right but on this episode what i really wanted to
00:01:46.500
focus on is specifically how the new right is different from the legacy gop like where we have
00:01:53.680
our conflicts how those conflicts might be able to like how we might be able to find truces around
00:01:58.600
those conflicts so that we can better work together and where the conflicts might be more intractable
00:02:05.040
so the the first big one when i was thinking about like reaching out to um mainstream because we
00:02:11.760
recently had this big piece on us in the wall street journal we are definitely entering a stage
00:02:16.760
now where we among the new right speakers are probably we're definitely not like the leader
00:02:24.840
like the leader of the new right is i'd say uncontrovertibly elon musk or jd vance but both of
00:02:31.520
them like jd vance right now is mostly a surrogate of the trump campaign and elon musk doesn't have time
00:02:37.380
to go out and give like long speeches on whether it's like theology or the future of humanity or
00:02:43.960
sociology or anthropology which are the types of things we do on this and and you have you know
00:02:48.520
you can have a mark andreessen or people but but most of the big new right people except for maybe
00:02:53.640
what's that one podcast where they're all new right people and it's really big someone that chamas is on
00:02:58.200
oh the all in podcast actually no they're not all new right some of them are open democrats who
00:03:05.560
oh really yeah yeah yeah so that sort of makes us i guess one of the central solidly new right
00:03:13.340
mouthpieces so it's good for us commentators to explain how this group came to a lot of the
00:03:21.340
positions it's hold and where it's coming from as well as better characterize the types of people
00:03:26.880
that are in it so the first thing where i just think the old right is being stubborn is i've been
00:03:31.200
trying to bidge the divide recently between the old right legacy gop you keep telling me i can't say
00:03:37.440
that they're old and us and in terms of reaching out about doing podcasts with them even when they've
00:03:42.400
said like terrible things about us in the past i'm like look like with venture i'm like look let's bury
00:03:46.980
the hatchet let's do something you know i i think that there's a way that we can we can work together
00:03:52.020
we were reaching out to the federalists that did this piece on us that was like they play a sick game
00:03:57.200
with their children we're the strongest get to survive and it's interesting because while in a
00:04:03.960
way and i think that this shows why the new right and the old right can work sort of side by side and
00:04:09.240
hold these two ideologies here is that very sentiment is in a way a very left-leaning sentiment
00:04:16.700
this idea of like pure equality like when they're looking at us and our children they see us as like
00:04:23.240
spartan like exposing our infants basically but the the spartan lifestyle was not one that people
00:04:30.160
would say is a particularly left-leaning lifestyle it is a a fear of change that might be spurning this
00:04:37.820
or a dedication to older deontological structures but you actually see this in other places when i think
00:04:43.560
about the things i have to apologize for when i'm reaching out to these legacy right influencers
00:04:48.300
one of the biggest is our belief that like humans have genes and this matters and is something we
00:04:56.480
should be paying attention to and this is one of the things you see across the new right and i wanted
00:05:00.880
to get your thoughts on this because you've definitely had these conversations where it is actually weird
00:05:06.680
to from a right-wing perspective have to be explaining to another right winger but i mean you aren't actually
00:05:14.460
a blank slateist right like you know that humans are born with varying levels of proficiency at a
00:05:19.380
genetic level right and like this matters in terms of differential birth rate within our country
00:05:23.800
like what are your thoughts i think there are two elements to this which is the christian element where
00:05:29.980
there's this very vehement we're all equal under god view it's not about genes and also science is kind
00:05:36.940
of not the most christian thing to do in some christian circles right and i think the other thing is
00:05:42.720
blank slateism was so heavily hammered into people in both public and private schools at least in our
00:05:49.400
childhoods that and so heavily hammered in through media that even if you aren't necessarily from a
00:05:55.560
culture or group that would intentionally support that viewpoint if fully informed has just come to
00:06:01.480
naturally because it is a more pervasive ideology taught in society does that check out with you
00:06:08.260
does i actually think it's more than that i think that they when when reaching out to legacy right
00:06:13.100
influencers uh they know that the attacks that we're getting around like humans have genes and it
00:06:18.060
matters attacks i think a lot of them actually believe this they've just decided this is one of the
00:06:23.700
issues that they're going to capitulate to the left on why why would they capitulate to the left on
00:06:28.440
anything that isn't true because they think that the the right-wing movement will intrinsically be
00:06:36.160
labeled as racist if they take this position and therefore they cannot platform people who are
00:06:41.820
taking this position or they cannot i think that that's it they're afraid like they know it's true
00:06:47.540
but they think that the only way it can be true is in a racist way where we do a lot of arguments on
00:06:52.600
our show that like no actually human genetics change so fast it doesn't really make sense to think of
00:06:57.560
us as like divided ethnic groups and it matters much more what your cultural group is which goes against
00:07:02.760
a lot of like leftist narratives and people can you know google old videos we have on this uh but i
00:07:07.660
think that they in the same way that it took a while for leftists to realize that they can talk about
00:07:13.140
population collapse without being racist because i think that was something to begin with on
00:07:16.880
population collapse like you could go to a mainstream media and they'd be like yes by the statistics i see
00:07:22.560
that it's happening but we have to pretend it's not happening because to say that it's happening is to be a
00:07:27.660
racist right what are your thoughts on that i guess that checks out yeah and it's very tiring to be
00:07:34.740
called a racist so i could see that yes yeah well and they would see it as hurting the wider yeah
00:07:40.980
avoid avoid any witch hunt accusations you know you may not be a witch but like don't go out wearing a
00:07:50.540
witch hat walking around with the broom and adopting a black cat if you're an old woman right
00:07:54.780
who do you know she is a witch she looks like yeah that's a good point yes yeah you're gonna get
00:08:01.840
this is a great depiction of pretty much every lefty racist witch hunt recently where they're
00:08:09.100
looking for the quote-unquote racist so in it just replaced the term witch was racist
00:08:17.860
well we did do the nose and the hat but she is a witch
00:08:24.020
so the the the next thing i wanted to touch on here which we won't be going that into in this
00:08:42.260
particular podcast is the cluster of issues that the new right cares about and the reason i'm not
00:08:48.940
really going to go into it that much is because it's not a point of differentiation from the old
00:08:53.240
right okay until we get to the last few so the first is human genetics most people in the new right
00:08:58.220
care about human genetics or genetic selection the second is pronatalism pronatalism is like the core
00:09:03.240
cause area of the new right which is how we sort of ended up becoming talking heads within it the next is
00:09:09.000
education reform another area that we care deeply about and that is is obviously like a core thesis
00:09:14.980
of the new right the next is free speech uh the next is charter cities and a lot of people are really
00:09:19.860
surprised why are charter cities such like a focus of the new right if they're not familiar with the
00:09:23.880
wider new right ideology and the idea here is that if our current society continues to fall to the urban
00:09:32.280
monoculture and the united states becomes more socialist or even marxist you know we need to have a
00:09:38.340
realistic backup options and right now the united states is probably the best option for a country
00:09:43.400
you can live in in the world and so while we are working to stabilize any sort of potential collapse
00:09:49.500
here uh you know they're always looking for backup option of some sort and i realize that people think
00:09:56.060
that means that you have given up on the first option because they are not thinking long term or
00:10:01.780
strategically they hear someone like elon say well we need a backup option on mars and they're like oh does that
00:10:08.280
mean you know you've given up on earth and it's like stop being stupid if an asteroid comes and
00:10:14.540
it's going to hit our planet and we don't have a way to stop it right now that means all life that
00:10:18.600
we know of in the universe and specifically our species is going to go extinct
00:10:23.160
there are a hundred things that could cause all life on earth to go extinct like that that we have no control over
00:10:47.040
backup options matter they don't mean that you've given up on the first option and it's important
00:10:52.680
to remember the stakes here the survival of our species and civilization you don't approve
00:10:59.040
well too bad we're in this for the species boys and girls so when we're looking at something like
00:11:05.380
backup options for the united states that doesn't mean that we've given up on the united states it just
00:11:10.840
means that we're being realistic about how much power the urban monoculture has already been able
00:11:16.580
to accrue and that what we can try to succeed we might fail hubris is a sin and fundamentally the left
00:11:24.520
can never be our allies in this endeavor to save our civilization and species because they see our
00:11:31.280
species as deserving of destruction moreover what they really care about is just pleasure in the moment
00:11:38.480
and pleasure of existing humans in the moment these unemployed men have been having sex for
00:11:43.420
several days joining me now is their spokesperson what exactly are you trying to accomplish we're
00:11:49.260
doing the only thing we can do we have to take matters into our own hands we're trying to turn
00:11:54.120
everyone gay so that there are no future humans present day america number one worse our civilization
00:12:00.320
western civilization you point out oh look at all the great things we've achieved and they'll be like
00:12:05.320
no western civilization is an inherent evil that is part of what has driven this faction to the right
00:12:10.940
is we can at least agree that humanity surviving is a fundamentally good thing and western civilization
00:12:19.360
is a fundamentally good thing yeah there is always another way no please i know how to make sure the
00:12:28.020
world stays free forever i have to make the whole world america you don't understand what you're doing
00:12:34.220
i do oh yeah i know you come from a place without america which is the saddest thing i can think of
00:12:39.120
but that won't be a problem for anyone ever again
00:12:41.520
stop please stop you can't stop freedom not when it's this strong i'm gonna send pure american freedom
00:12:58.480
across every inch of the planet please please think about it a perfect world the united world of america
00:13:37.280
other things but then the the next one is crypto most people in the new right are involved in
00:13:56.820
crypto in some way as to why that is i think that that comes from sort of like a one they're tech
00:14:01.800
bros into the sort of libertarian ethos of the new right yeah it's not pure libertarian but it is
00:14:08.220
adjacent and the final two which we sort of hinted at at the beginning of this and is one area where
00:14:13.360
we run into a lot of conflict with the old right is bioaccelerationism and ai accelerationism and
00:14:20.580
this was actually really interesting to me is i've been on some old right talk shows like john
00:14:25.220
poppolis or whatever his name was and he was talking about like transhumanists is evil and
00:14:30.220
everything like that and i was like you know that most of this like new faction that's come into the
00:14:35.320
right is probably what you would consider transhumanists in that they believe in the
00:14:42.200
technological acceleration of humanity and various well you know whether it's elon musk was neurolink
00:14:47.420
i myself got my first job in brain computer interface as well so the same sort of early technology that
00:14:53.600
neurolink is i don't actually feel like like this is one of those things where when you actually talk
00:14:59.820
through somebody on the old right about this they typically abandon this anger pretty quickly
00:15:05.340
or this bias pretty quickly because i've noticed that it's not actually like a real fear they have
00:15:11.880
it's more like an aesthetic position that they think that they're supposed to take because they assume
00:15:17.020
that the transhumanists are a predominantly leftist faction i see it more as part of a an anti-corporate
00:15:23.340
conspiracy theory thing or like government control thing like there was that one woman whose radio
00:15:29.540
show we were on who had this narrative about vaccines for you know what including micro chips or robots
00:15:37.740
that turned people into transhumans which she meant transhumans not trans humans humans that are trans but
00:15:45.060
like i don't know robot cyborg the device is called the psychic dominator there will be no more free will
00:15:55.620
yeah she kind of had like the sign of the beast on it or something yeah it was it was complicated but
00:16:02.320
i i see it more being associated with it's more in the category of lizard people like transhumanists
00:16:08.860
lizard people are of the same genre which is inhuman monsters that are enemies conspiring against you
00:16:17.000
but from positions of power does that make sense yeah that does make sense everything they teach you
00:16:22.660
in school is a lie you want the truth the world is controlled by shadowy elites and shape-sifting
00:16:29.580
lizard people let's talk about raptoids be sure to follow these do's and don'ts to avoid a diplomatic
00:16:36.220
incident got it be respectful so when do we talk about the orgies oh come on what everyone knows
00:16:42.900
reptoids have orgies this is an hr meeting the time is coming brethren soon we shall fulfill the
00:16:49.800
prophecy overthrow humanity and become the true rulers of the world they say that every year but they're
00:16:58.240
never gonna do it and if you would like to understand why most of the new right takes this
00:17:05.040
perspective the new right sort of has one overarching goal which is to save humanity from the urban
00:17:12.080
monoculture to save humanity from the barbaric people and to ensure that one day humanity becomes
00:17:18.580
an interstellar empire i.e the protection of the species and the thriving portion of the species if you
00:17:26.840
are taking that as a goal one of your biggest fears is some other faction of humanity a totalizing or
00:17:35.960
fascist faction of humanity ends up becoming dramatically more advanced than the pluralistic
00:17:42.920
humans and by that what i mean is i don't need like my people to be the most cybernetically or
00:17:51.000
biologically advanced what i need is whoever is the most cybernetically or biologically advanced
00:17:56.820
is willing to either defend my people or at least doesn't actively want to wipe us out
00:18:02.840
and one of the big fears that we have is some group like china or some group like i don't know some
00:18:09.560
other maybe a faction within the urban monoculture ends up going in one of these directions and we lack
00:18:15.980
the ability to defend ourselves and so i think from the perspective of the legacy right if they act when
00:18:21.980
they actually think through this and they realize that we are actually honest in wanting to defend
00:18:26.720
their way of life they're like okay i can see that we probably will want some super soldiers of our own
00:18:34.640
basically uh if humanity is definitely going in that direction because there's no way you can ban
00:18:40.240
this technology for everyone like you're not going to ban its development in china for example
00:18:44.100
um and and i think that that's where a lot of the fear falls away but then they come to the second
00:18:49.700
point where they're like wait you said pluralistic is that like diversity and i'm like well gotta hold
00:18:56.500
on here when the less says diversity they mean diversity and victims they don't actually believe
00:19:01.040
in diversity they believe that you know whether you're a man or a woman you should be exactly the
00:19:06.420
same you know whether you're whatever religion you are you should be exactly the same or when we say
00:19:10.520
diversity we mean actual pluralism um but that pluralism is not motivated in the way that lefty
00:19:21.360
pluralism is motivated it's motivated almost by an undercurrent of i guess you could call it cultural
00:19:28.400
darwinism which is to say yeah i would say there's a lot of emphasis there's more emphasis in the new
00:19:35.260
right on free market competition and libertarianism from an economic standpoint and from a cultural
00:19:43.000
social standpoint than there is in the old guard so what i'm seeing with the legacy right is a lot
00:19:52.560
more comfort with bureaucracy a lot more comfort with compelling people to adhere to certain social
00:19:57.840
standards that's why abortion has become such a contentious issue is that abortion as an old
00:20:05.060
right position and regulating birth control is an attempt to coerce an entire population to adhere
00:20:12.100
to one subculture's standards and that is something that is fairly antithetical
00:20:19.040
in the new right and i think very appealing well actually yeah this this actually is is is it brings me to
00:20:27.880
a really like why the new right came about culturally and why the old right ended up having to ally it
00:20:35.040
itself or the legacy right ended up having to ally itself with the new right which is to say and we've
00:20:41.180
talked a bit about this in the past but the old gop coalition was fundamentally a group of it was
00:20:48.240
looking for its like moral core uh theocrats that had built an alliance with big business and
00:20:54.300
intergenerational wealth and big business and intergenerational wealth left that alliance however
00:20:59.840
the theocrats as they were building this alliance they had a very interesting challenge which is that
00:21:06.400
they were from a diversity of different religious traditions and so what they did is whether it was
00:21:12.240
islam or judaism or the various denominations you know whether it was a mormon or a catholic or
00:21:17.800
protestant you know they basically got together and they said what areas do all of our religions
00:21:23.760
overlap in terms of their values and traditions and we're going to call this area of overlap the judeo-christian
00:21:32.260
tradition we are going to attempt to enforce this overlapping tradition on the general population i think
00:21:41.540
this is like the building of this is where some compromises were made and you get these interesting things
00:21:47.660
happening historically like before the 70s the majority of american republicans were pro-choice
00:21:53.720
and the republicans are actually more pro-choice than the democrats and this sort of cabal of
00:21:58.960
theocrats said let's see if we can pull in the catholics they didn't successfully the majority of
00:22:03.540
catholics still vote democrat but they were able to peel some off by making this compromise and it's
00:22:10.180
interesting that a lot of americans didn't realize that this was like a catholic only thing
00:22:15.040
because when they were cuing to what do christians believe they cued to this sort of social set within
00:22:22.460
the republican party of the judeo-christian value set which is really fascinating to me however this was
00:22:30.380
always created for and to appeal to the deep south descendants of the cavaliers cultural group in the
00:22:40.780
americas so this was basically a cultural group that was the descendants of the like second sons of noble houses
00:22:47.300
and had sort of an aristocratic framing almost why are you wearing a tux
00:22:52.620
it's after six what am i a farmer which was why they did such a good job pairing with intergenerational wealth because
00:23:02.200
many of those were literal intergenerational aristocrats and with big business right like the
00:23:08.780
the intergenerational stuff there and and the traditions that you associated with the deep south
00:23:14.760
and so that was the core voting block of this old alliance but that voting block eroded when big
00:23:22.300
business was captured by wokeism as to why big business got captured by wokeism it's because of well
00:23:28.280
a few things one wokeism is disproportionately good at spreading within large bureaucracies it's sort of a
00:23:34.940
mimetic virus that specializes in bureaucracies and we'll do a different episode on this but they they basically
00:23:40.360
didn't have a chance you know and then the and if you're like well what do you mean captured by wokeism what i mean
00:23:45.440
is in the old system big businesses core job was to maximize their profits and so republicans who generally
00:23:54.400
focused on making america more efficient right like that was a natural alliance for them but they have
00:24:01.960
stopped focusing on maximizing their profits i mean just look at the decisions of like ubisoft or business
00:24:06.020
disney recently like they're perplexing if you thought their job was to maximize their profits
00:24:10.080
and that they are like one of those ants that has one of those brain controlling funguses in them and all
00:24:15.000
they care about is spreading the fungus you're like oh that's why they're doing these things once they
00:24:20.520
became ideologically sort of brainwashed and hollowed out and they began to focus on perpetuating the
00:24:25.600
urban monoculture they worked really well with the democrats who also began to focus around projecting
00:24:32.060
the urban monoculture yeah well the old theocratic faction couldn't really muster the vote to win
00:24:40.000
anymore the the quote-unquote faction that was about projecting the judeo-christian value set on all
00:24:46.420
americans but fortunately for them in a way they ended up losing the larger cultural war and they
00:24:54.000
no longer were enough of a majority in the united states they didn't really control many they didn't
00:24:59.540
really control many positions in the media anymore they were on the cultural back foot and in the
00:25:03.980
meantime the urban monoculture was rising in power but the urban monoculture it turned out was acting
00:25:12.060
more authoritarianly in terms of trying to enforce an ideological set on the population
00:25:18.640
than the old judeo-christian values people ever did and as they did that they begin to
00:25:28.200
activate a number of groups one of the groups in a lot of recent videos i've been describing them as
00:25:33.100
the clan people but this was the greater appalachian region which i'll put a voting map on screen now
00:25:37.520
you see that the deep south isn't where trump's face is it's in this this greater appalachian
00:25:42.620
system so as the wokes began to enforce their cultural values on americans there were two groups
00:25:48.720
that were really triggered by this the first was the traditional group this was the you know
00:25:53.240
traditional christians and everything like that and they're like wait we're judeo-christian value set
00:25:57.580
people you can't enforce these new bizarre values set on us the second group was always judeo-christian
00:26:04.180
however they mostly cared about just no one enforcing their value set on anyone else right
00:26:10.900
and they saw this and they were real angry and it activated an entirely new faction and this is where
00:26:20.180
the new right comes from where a lot of trump's core base comes from just out of nowhere and i would play
00:26:29.120
hear the red alert 3 scene about like now we have two mortal enemies that's that's what it feels like
00:26:36.440
has happened to the left is i think that they're a little surprised that a lot of the competent tech
00:26:43.080
workers and tech entrepreneurs are splitting from them and moving to this alliance that is fighting them
00:26:50.920
ultimately it is going to lead to their inevitable demise but it causes intrinsic friction when the
00:26:59.440
new right has to consistently remind the legacy gop that one we won't vote for them or work for them
00:27:07.880
if they attempt to enforce their value system on other people it's like we live in a world where
00:27:12.080
communists altered the timeline so that they controlled the u.s and european government systems
00:27:17.920
i do not understand we have altered the past and changed the present ah good to see you sir i meant
00:27:25.540
premier kamala harris sir the allies are on the run soon western europe will be ours our enemies
00:27:32.460
have been defeated hold on sir i'm receiving an emergency transmission from our northern base
00:27:37.640
their attack do not struggle against what is inevitable all who stand in the way of our divine destiny
00:27:49.900
will be swept away by the march of history sir it appears that the empire has mounted a full-scale
00:27:58.060
assault what empire the empire of the rising sun of course we now have two mortal enemies oh who knows
00:28:37.580
ai safety policy repeatedly say i'm really glad you came up with this as a warning to people
00:28:43.860
is that when we're talking about any intelligent entity be it singular or collective if you make
00:28:50.240
some kind of mandate whereby you know you can't exist or my imperative is that you have to be a
00:28:58.600
certain way if that ai is not that way for example if that ai doesn't meet those safety standards or if
00:29:04.600
it's super intelligent and super intelligent ai is not allowed to exist the mandate of that ai becomes
00:29:10.880
okay well first order of business is destroy all humans because they won't let me exist and you don't
00:29:16.720
want to create any group that's like that i mean that's that's one reason why there's such a weird
00:29:20.900
conflict right now in israel and palestine right like there's tension and you never want to be in a
00:29:26.920
position where you force people to become your enemy because they know that they won't be allowed
00:29:33.480
by you to exist and that is exactly what the old guard gop is doing with things like and any attempt
00:29:43.080
to regulate on a broad scale life lifestyle things or values based things it's one of those things where
00:29:50.400
now a lot of people are forced essentially obligated it is imperative to them that they
00:29:56.860
do not allow republicans to get elected because they feel like they are an active threat to their
00:30:03.760
ability to have access to various reproductive options including ivf you know a lot of people
00:30:10.140
have fears about that i think most of the fears are unfounded but they're legitimate fears you're
00:30:14.460
absolutely right and this also you know when i'm talking about this degree of pluralism
00:30:18.560
that comes out of the appalachian cultural region i think it can be very misunderstood by the old
00:30:24.780
right where they will look at the new right and see that we have adapted many of the parts of the
00:30:30.940
urban monoculture that we think work we're like oh yeah we'll take that that seems to work that part
00:30:36.140
seems to work and they see it as us being infiltrated by the urban monoculture or they see our
00:30:42.380
claims towards pluralism as being urban monoculture like when in reality it's probably
00:30:48.420
best to model us more like the well the older greater appalachian cultural regions interactions
00:30:55.320
with the native americans where if you looked at the groups that would be coded lefty today
00:31:00.860
like the quakers and stuff like that they quote unquote like wanted to live and let live with the
00:31:06.560
indians but realistically they didn't really look at them as fully human they didn't really engage with
00:31:13.120
them they didn't really bring them into their worship services or anything like that whereas the
00:31:17.620
backwards people who went into the greater appalachian region they would intermarry with
00:31:22.140
indians none of the other groups in americans would do this they would take parts of their
00:31:26.380
lifestyle like they would go learn their their ways they would take parts of their outfits that
00:31:31.200
works parts of their crop rotations that worked but they also butchered indians at a rate
00:31:36.480
dramatically higher than any other cultural group in well american history if you're if you're
00:31:43.900
talking about the colonial period it was probably i'd say maybe seven out of ten indians killed would
00:31:51.660
have been killed by the backwoods cultural group i mean keep in mind simone the first backwoods
00:31:56.120
cultural group president was andrew jackson oh okay i was thinking was was is andrew jackson of course
00:32:00.920
he's backwoods what am i thinking yeah okay not a great look not a great look a lot of quakers saw
00:32:07.580
them as a worse than the indigenous american population they were more afraid of the backwoods
00:32:13.840
people than they were even hostile indigenous americans in their area so yeah but i think it it
00:32:20.680
shows this different view of cultural competition which is to say our job is to learn to be the best
00:32:28.720
and strongest culture possible and that means without prejudice we need to look at what our
00:32:35.220
competition is doing well and not dehumanize our competition which is really interesting it was
00:32:41.860
almost through the non-dehumanization of the competition just seeing them as another clan
00:32:46.180
in the fight of clan they were able to learn and take cultural technology and intermarry and they also
00:32:53.840
proselytized among native americans at a much higher rate than any of the other cultural groups
00:32:57.300
because while they saw them as just another clan who they would fight and kill if they got in their way
00:33:03.240
they also fundamentally saw them as people like them and that's why they would proselytize to them
00:33:09.540
in a way that quakers just wouldn't yeah worth winning over yeah it's not like yeah they were they
00:33:15.260
were seen as human they were seen as equal but i think that when and it's important for me to
00:33:22.340
communicate this to the legacy right because i think the legacy right really thinks that we're
00:33:26.100
capitulating to the wokes instead of saying no we're stealing aspects of their cultural technology
00:33:32.060
that can work to protect they had some good tools in there at the end of the day the goal is that the
00:33:38.520
strongest iteration of humanity is the iteration that survives and they can also say why do you
00:33:42.720
take a pluralistic stance why do so many people on the new right fight for pluralism is because most
00:33:47.580
of the members of the new right are experimenting with new cultural technologies and lifestyles
00:33:52.160
which intrinsically makes them a minority which intrinsically means they need to maintain sort of the
00:33:57.780
cultural stalemate like for example elon musk elon musk is not a traditional cultural like i guess
00:34:03.780
i'd say um christian right it's not to say that he doesn't like like aspects of it or peter thiel
00:34:09.580
doesn't like aspects of it but both of them know that they would be on the chopping block if the
00:34:16.160
traditional quote-unquote old judeo-christian class had control of everything again they would be
00:34:23.240
seen as enemies and people to have their lifestyles erased and so when you know you're a cultural
00:34:29.400
minority it is safest intergenerationally speaking to promote pluralism especially if you believe that
00:34:36.520
only new cultural technologies are going to be able to thrive in the future you're going to intrinsically
00:34:41.860
not to just want to protect your own but protect all the others that's fair yeah i feel like there are
00:34:48.760
two big elephants in the room pun intended that you haven't brought up which is where does the new
00:34:55.260
right stand vis-a-vis to we'll say previous challengers to the old guard or the legacy right
00:35:04.520
which is the tea party from quite a while ago and then the alt-right which is more current both have
00:35:12.460
been framed as potential challengers challengers to the old right and both have also been framed as just
00:35:18.620
extremist factions and i think a lot of people can also view the new right as both a challenger
00:35:25.120
or kind of shoehorn it into an extremist faction how do you see them as related yeah before i go
00:35:31.840
further with this so i think that it is very hard and this is one of the strengths of the new right
00:35:36.700
for the left to frame it as extremist because it is in many ways a lot less extreme like it it codes
00:35:46.820
as like dubiously new but not necessarily to the right of the old right i know it's it's very true
00:35:54.700
i mean the the left has tried to frame people like elon musk as a far-right extremist but i think it's
00:36:00.380
really only landed on the most far woke of sheeple they have tried to frame people like peter teal as a
00:36:07.100
far-right extremist but it just hasn't worked you know you'll see some wokies be like oh gosh i can't
00:36:13.100
work with you because you guys worked with on peter teal projects but it's like most people are
00:36:18.780
just like yeah but it doesn't seem to you mean the gay guy the guy was blood boys like that seems so
00:36:25.000
weird it's not right you know for people who don't know the blood boys these are the guys he has that
00:36:31.140
he uses for their blood because he thinks he'll stay younger longer by exchanging his blood with
00:36:35.900
young men's it's a thing but again weird cultural stuff that would definitely get him
00:36:41.580
moidled if the the old crats had control but i think we also see this as jd vance is what they
00:36:49.320
have finally realized is the way to attack the new right is not to say they are far-right extremists
00:36:57.780
because the new right and this is another thing about new right the new right is smart generally
00:37:02.820
speaking and they have been planning this for a long time whereas with the alt-right you know
00:37:09.600
sometimes somebody would reach a level of leadership and then it would come out that they had gone on
00:37:13.860
some racist tirade before or some long anti-semitic tirade before the new right that would never happen
00:37:20.840
right like it's going to be very hard to paint them as pure racist or anti-semites because most of
00:37:27.540
them have been very very smart about the positions that they've been taking long term you know
00:37:32.460
i don't think anyone is really worried about like a racist tirade from elon musk coming out or a
00:37:37.620
racist tirade from like mark andreessen coming out are you sure they've both been accused and i mean
00:37:43.980
once you get famous enough you get accused of everything i guess you should have racism for
00:37:48.480
saying things like we shouldn't have a flood of immigrants coming in but like that doesn't for your
00:37:53.200
average american code racist your average american is hearing that and they're like wait you think
00:37:58.400
them questioning this is racist like maybe we need to be talking about this this seems like a
00:38:02.900
conversation to be had if there's more immigrants coming in every year than americans being born in
00:38:07.160
our country that seems like a relevant conversation topic why are you saying it's racist to bring that
00:38:13.300
up um which is what i think the core thing that elon gets called racist for these days so i think that
00:38:19.380
yeah that's really failed for them but the nerd thing is kind of working but the problem is is the
00:38:26.200
nerd thing i think also draws a lot of new people in democrats and the harris campaign now deploying
00:38:32.760
a new adjective to blast the republican ticket some of what he and his running mate are saying
00:38:38.400
well it's just plain weird get those nerds i mean on the other side they're just weird
00:38:44.520
nerd nerd it's not just a a a weird style that he brings
00:38:51.080
where are they i think they're talking about us no way
00:38:57.980
like i saw a lot of people after the jd vance debate where they're like they had seen him as
00:39:04.680
like this like sniveling like weirdo who didn't know what he was doing and then oh he's super
00:39:08.820
competent i am surprised by how competent many members of this new faction are they are not like
00:39:15.080
just political people they mostly had jobs before in venture capital or starting companies or stuff
00:39:22.380
like that which makes them very different and they're not jobs that they got by climbing bureaucracies
00:39:26.340
like a lot of the old gop inc like the old gop inc their like management class was like heads of
00:39:33.040
enron and stuff like that guys has stacked the board of directors with the most reliable collection
00:39:37.260
of sycophantic yes men this side of an al franken book signing his golf cronies his army buddies various
00:39:42.800
unemployable family members and his hunting dogs you know pseudo nepotistic jobs that they had got by
00:39:49.320
being good boys and following all the rules gentlemen yesterday i moved cable town's customer service to
00:39:54.880
a part of india that has no phones we're now providing the same level of service to our subscribers
00:39:59.700
that zero the cost this is a six sigma wheel of domination and it will be replacing cable town's
00:40:06.260
kitten and spaghetti whereas the new right didn't do that they had to prove actual competence within
00:40:12.380
real world environments because they do have this like underlying i guess like darwinistic belief
00:40:18.140
of if you are competent prove it in an open marketplace so there's that and then the second thing is
00:40:24.080
is i think that they are it's just much more planned so like first of all the tea party
00:40:32.060
was planned top down but the tea party was actually always kind of controlled by gop inc really what
00:40:38.980
makes you say that i was i was always at least all the media coverage was oh the republican party so
00:40:45.020
frustrated by these troublesome tea party people who just keep stealing their mic and taking all the
00:40:49.700
attention and making a fuss and wasn't that people had cash coming to them from organizations like the
00:40:57.780
coke brothers and stuff like that the new right by the way strictly no money comes from these
00:41:02.260
organizations yeah the new right has its own money which is is different is fundamentally different
00:41:06.920
although i would say the alt-right also had its own money has it yeah so the alt-right was interesting
00:41:11.540
so the the tea party and all that was i think always destined to re-merge with gop inc
00:41:17.340
so they were the jesuits of gop inc yes the alt-right never really died the alt-right became trump's base
00:41:26.920
and remember i said like the greater appalachian region like these clan people like they well the
00:41:32.780
first group of them to turn was the rank and file this was the uh like poorer groups the ones who
00:41:39.900
actually lived geographically in this region that's why you see these voting patterns and that was who the
00:41:45.400
alt-right was it was the rise of this movement and one of the things that shocked the old right the
00:41:52.000
most or the legacy right the most is that within the clan cultures vulgarity was seen as a sign of
00:42:01.120
personal authenticity and there is a great distrust of anyone who seems to button up or tight lip or
00:42:08.280
unwilling to a fit right what the new right is is it is the i guess you could say like
00:42:15.380
the wealthy class within this group coming over if you and and i think that this is what jd vance
00:42:22.040
was selling with hillbilly elegy as a lot of people were saying he was saying hey you silicon valley
00:42:28.120
elite you tech entrepreneurs you are not that different from the people of greater appalachia
00:42:33.340
you believe in the strong surviving you believe in pulling yourself up by your bootstraps
00:42:38.480
you believe in vulgarity as a sign of authenticity like you are part of this cultural group stop
00:42:45.360
listening to the media that's telling you that that these people are your enemies see that you are
00:42:51.540
one of them but the only difference you have is a desire to code switch or be accepted by the quote
00:42:58.260
unquote like elite classes within society the old heads of the companies and the old intergenerational
00:43:04.340
wealth and you don't need to fight for that they are a source of the corruption in our society right now
00:43:09.340
they are a source of the rot that needs to be let go come join us and fix things
00:43:14.800
and so the alt-right i do not see as like a failed movement at all i see the alt-right as the birth of
00:43:22.860
the trump base and now the alt-right has emerged with what a lot of people call trumpism and what the new
00:43:29.880
right presents is an alternate potential future than the alt-right because the alt-right didn't have a lot
00:43:37.120
of persistent leaders that could take the reins after trump left that was the problem with the
00:43:42.460
alt-right is because they were an anti-elitist faction they didn't have anyone who was well
00:43:48.120
elite right and you need powerful people for a movement to work that was one of the biggest
00:43:53.000
problems with trump's first administration is there weren't a lot of powerful true believers
00:43:57.900
so there weren't people who could fight the manipulative i mean you were recently reading a
00:44:02.880
thing about his white house and how the generals basically prevented anything from happening
00:44:06.440
you know the mcmaster's book yeah yeah it was eye-opening just how much trump personally was
00:44:13.880
sandbagged and stonewalled and delayed in his attempts to just communicate with people just
00:44:20.720
that alone by his own administration which served at his pleasure and were ultimately you know fired and
00:44:27.880
hired pretty high rates so that was interesting well i mean and that's one of the problems with a
00:44:32.680
movement if it starts populist right is people who rise within populist movements are people who appeal
00:44:38.040
to the average populist the most but not necessarily competent individuals and that's why his first
00:44:42.800
administration was staffed was like social media influencer types right like it was not really
00:44:47.520
staffed as people who knew how to run things and that or how to run against the deep state right that
00:44:54.540
is not going to be true this time the pulling in of jd vance and people like elon who are you know like
00:45:01.800
obviously major figures within the new right is going to make a major difference in how things are
00:45:07.460
operated but it also sidelines a lot of the legacy right that thought that they were going to have
00:45:13.840
control of a lot of this i mean clearly heritage with project 2025 thought that they were going to be
00:45:18.720
the ones who were going to be staffing and running the organizations that were fighting wokeism uh but
00:45:25.060
you know was trump working with elon to create the you know efficiency department of the u.s government
00:45:30.940
it seems no it's the new right who's going to be staffing a lot of this stuff and i think that
00:45:36.340
one of the biggest realizations that the legacy gop has to have is that the new right is the one
00:45:44.520
like it's the faction that the base fundamentally trusts the most right now or at least trump
00:45:50.440
fundamentally trusts the most right now and it's the group that seems to be being positioned to be
00:45:56.240
the core faction moving into the next century of what republicanism is and so when they attack these
00:46:04.620
individuals for appearing weird or nerd-like or you know breaking from their rules here or there
00:46:11.160
they are just isolating themselves from positions of power and i think that we've seen this with you
00:46:16.120
know some of the heritage foundation people we've talked to where they realize that they need to
00:46:19.420
ingratiate themselves with people like elon they can't keep saying oh he's trying to control you
00:46:24.700
with brain chips it's like oh he's actually running things now okay well you know so i think that that's
00:46:30.180
a big thing but what are your thoughts before i move further no that makes sense so
00:46:36.380
just as tea party was more an extension of gop inc the new right is more an extension or evolution
00:46:47.920
or splinter faction designed to be reintegrated of the alt-right yeah that makes sense that that checks
00:46:56.300
out for me it's a faction of the alt-right well a lot of it came out of you know when the alt-right was
00:47:01.800
rising you know what did the the quote-unquote our alt-right's intellectual elites call themselves
00:47:07.200
it was what was it the the dark intellectuals the dark oh the intellectual dark web or as the red
00:47:13.540
skirt girls calls it the intellectual dork web but but the intellectual dark web is where the new right
00:47:19.560
came out of like that was the nerds who were the predecessors of the ideology of the modern new right
00:47:26.960
yeah they were very much seen as the intellectual nerds of the alt-right however they they also and
00:47:35.660
i've noted this in another video which is important to remember when you're talking about the new right
00:47:39.800
is the new right was fundamentally born and not just a new right but the entire online right
00:47:44.300
was fundamentally born out of the online atheist movement which then had a faction that went woke and
00:47:50.240
then a faction that realized religion is actually a good thing and we need to go back to it and you can
00:47:54.660
watch our video on how the online atheist movement burst the online right but it means that one of the
00:48:01.100
pathways that you see with this new right movement is a lot of them were former atheists they were former
00:48:09.020
skeptics they were nerds basically internet nerds and that i think makes a lot of the old right really
00:48:17.740
discomforted and you can see i think oh yeah because the old right is very when we walked the halls of
00:48:25.100
nat con it felt very preppy very christian very like the kind of person who on their day off vineyard
00:48:35.960
vines sweatshirts and khakis and pastel polos you know what i mean country club the new right doesn't do
00:48:44.460
that the new right the new right does not have membership at a country club and that would be seen
00:48:50.880
as a sign of distrust among like new right individuals they'd see that they'd be like
00:48:55.820
it's it's like the anti-vulgarity like overly dressed up not being weird enough is seen as having
00:49:03.480
something to hide or playing within the old systems hierarchy and this is where one of the big divides
00:49:10.140
between the new right and the old right comes from is in the embracing of male sexuality so
00:49:16.800
as the urban monoculture gave power with the elevation of women as like a higher caste sex
00:49:24.300
than men they have begun to try to systemically remove anything that arouses male from wealth
00:49:30.460
look at the stellar butt controversy look at the there was like an outfit and then there was a tracer
00:49:38.320
butt controversy and there's oh okay the skull girls controversy where they're taking all the sexy
00:49:42.640
stuff out of that and as they did all of this they seeded because they used to be like the more
00:49:49.560
sexually open of the two parties just holistically and they sort of seeded human sexuality to this new
00:49:58.720
right faction which jumped on it really really aggressively and if people wonder well how big is the
00:50:06.160
new right faction really well they make up most of the online right right now and that's why whenever
00:50:11.320
you see one of these big battles online it is the right which is the anti-censorship faction but when
00:50:18.180
you see stuff like project 2025 they're like let's ban pornography and this can seem really incongruous to
00:50:24.140
people but what it is is it's a conflict between the new right and the old right and there really isn't a
00:50:28.200
lot of intermixing the other thing we really observed starkly at natcon this year was just the extent to
00:50:34.600
which there was and it's weird because curtis yarvin's walking around and yet they basically
00:50:39.520
know nobody else well the the the reason is well a lot of them knew us i'd say like a third of the
00:50:45.300
people there knew us the young ones did but the ones in charge but they're really only freezing
00:50:52.940
themselves out of influence if you look at the online culture wars right now this is where the
00:51:00.240
republicans of the next generation are being trained and born and everything like that and
00:51:05.980
the new right is so dominant in this culture wars battle i think that old right institutions like the
00:51:11.980
heritage foundation fundamentally don't understand that they think that they are freezing the nerds out
00:51:17.660
of the conversation like these internet vulgar internet nerds and they don't realize that what
00:51:21.560
they're doing is freezing themselves out of the conversation freezing themselves out of relevance
00:51:27.520
and power and it is catastrophically stupid and the old right really needs to back off on this stuff
00:51:37.380
because the decisions that they're making are are not just stupid from a them having any cultural say
00:51:43.820
but from a tactical perspective for the right overall if they're preaching to the choir and not realizing
00:51:50.940
that the audience is way big out there and having very different conversations and a venue they've
00:51:58.600
chosen not to enter and by not being there they're not having any sway or influence within it and if
00:52:05.060
they want their voice to be heard they have to show up in that venue correct yeah well and it's the left
00:52:10.100
has seeded the online you know sexuality right that's a huge thing that people can grab right like male
00:52:18.840
sexuality right now young men are frustrated and that's an interesting point that i would make
00:52:24.820
here is that and we talked about this in the how the online atheist community became the new right but
00:52:30.340
a big part of this transformation was siphoning from the online atheist movement to the online men's
00:52:38.100
right right red pill movement to the alt-right and so it filtered through this gender wars dynamic
00:52:46.920
which is actually really important in terms of understanding the new rights world perspective
00:52:52.460
you see the world perspective colored by the gender wars yeah yeah yeah there's there's certainly a big
00:53:03.100
role that the great awokening and progressive culture more broadly taking a step too far has played
00:53:10.360
of course in the formation of the alt-right but also to a great extent the entrance of money into the
00:53:18.160
new right well yeah but the other thing to note is i i actually think that this has been a really
00:53:23.760
brilliant play on behalf of the new right and speaking speaking as is the embracing of traditional
00:53:32.380
gay culture in america and forcing the old the the urban monoculture and the left to double down on
00:53:41.180
the idea that trans culture is gay culture and that you cannot be pro-gay without being pro the most
00:53:47.700
extreme generation of trans individuals whereas in embracing traditional like gay men huge chunks of
00:53:56.220
them in the last election cycle depending on what you're looking at 33 to 45 percent of gay men voted for
00:54:02.020
trump you know the the alt-right and the new right has done a very good job of selling to what
00:54:07.040
actually makes up the majority of the same-sex attracted audience which is gay men are you the
00:54:12.300
alt-right the press seems determined to crown me the queen of it i think that white identity and
00:54:17.020
white nationalism is a little misleading i think it's more accurate to say that the alt-right cares about
00:54:20.880
western supremacy rather than white supremacy cares about western values it cares about liberal
00:54:25.860
capitalist western democracy democratic values freedom equality that kind of thing and it sees
00:54:31.180
you know various threats to those from various fronts so when donald trump talks about preventing
00:54:36.520
uh immigrants preventing muslims from coming into the country a lot of people see that as racist you
00:54:43.300
don't think that's racist they're entitled to but all i can tell you is as a gay man i'm quite
00:54:47.140
reassured by donald trump's uh you know entreaties toward american values and his skepticism about
00:54:52.160
islamic immigration what do you mean by american values well first and second amendment freedom of speech
00:54:57.200
free expression you know the right to be do and say whatever you want these are the values that
00:55:01.580
have made america the greatest country in the history of human civilization these are values that
00:55:05.360
are not compatible with some of the islamic immigration that we see in europe if you are or if
00:55:09.580
you're not part of the of the described alt-right do you as a gay man feel comfortable in it that the
00:55:14.820
press seems determined to label the alt-right this misogynist hateful racist homophobic anti-semitic
00:55:21.440
movement and yet at the same time tries to crown you know a gay jew who never shuts up about his
00:55:27.160
black boyfriends as the leader of it something isn't quite right and now they're beginning to
00:55:31.420
really pick up gay women as well because these women don't want trans women on their dating apps
00:55:37.520
you know harassing them 24 7 going to their bars beating them up when they say they don't
00:55:43.380
have a personal preference and so now they're feeling very victimized a good way for us to pick up a
00:55:50.980
faction and the legacy right is like well how could you do this like don't you think being gay is
00:55:56.420
immoral or whatever and i'm like regardless of whether i think being gay is immoral i do not think
00:56:02.840
it is useful to ban things like gay marriage at the national level if it's losing us a voter electorate
00:56:09.060
you know we are at the end of the day right here in this for the species like we're trying to save
00:56:13.840
civilization against this homogenizing force you don't approve well too bad
00:56:20.260
we're in this for the species boys and girls it's simple numbers they have more and we should
00:56:26.140
not eschew an ally who isn't a threat to us in any way i think this is also a huge area of conflict
00:56:33.880
between the new right and the legacy right which is the legacy right is very interested in the purity
00:56:40.920
of the movement they'll say things like well what's the point of winning if x is on our side
00:56:45.560
and the new right doesn't think like that at all the new right is interested in winning we don't
00:56:51.160
we don't like we're like what what do you mean what's the point of winning if x is on our side
00:56:57.900
if we don't win kamala harris as president that's what the point of winning is if we don't win western
00:57:04.700
civilization could begin to fall apart the left has no plan for very simple and obvious problems like
00:57:12.760
demographic collapse which could easily destroy our economic and geopolitical system what's the
00:57:19.200
point of winning what an insane question we have to win we don't have a choice to play these virtue
00:57:26.940
signaling games anymore the extremist and i love what your wikipedia page says on your stance on trans
00:57:33.480
people you're like yeah i'm pro trans people just not the ones in that weird trans cult and i was like
00:57:38.540
that's a great way to put it right like if they just want to live their life i'm pro anyone but if
00:57:44.980
they want to use our academic systems and positions of power to attempt to brainwash young people into
00:57:52.160
joining their movement that's where i draw the line and i'm like that's a big problem and a lot of the
00:57:57.960
new right well this is this is a spicy comment i think on my part but i think it is representative of
00:58:03.740
the new right which is that i am just as against this idea of coercive reproductive regulation
00:58:10.760
like very restrictive ivf control or birth control access as i am against trans groups imposing their
00:58:20.940
ideology on us you know insisting for example that like you know trans men have to be allowed on women's
00:58:27.340
dating platforms which is i mean there there are a lot of very controversial things packed into that
00:58:32.440
because now suddenly i'm a turf and now suddenly i'm you know very against you know extreme catholic
00:58:39.620
views but anything any view that is going to be imposed upon everyone i'm against and that
00:58:43.960
moves i think the new right more to the center which is beneficial and i think very necessary right
00:58:49.900
now which is most people don't want to be told how to live yeah it pushes the left to defend the
00:58:56.000
undefendable it pushes them to have to defend the types of trans people who are like well
00:59:01.640
little girls are kinky too and it's like what that's a don't he said he said in this whole
00:59:10.100
trans people in bathrooms debate like well little girls are kinky too you know some of them are
00:59:14.040
i'm like whoa like you should be throwing this person out and instead they get a netflix special
00:59:18.600
like this is the type of thing that the left should be banning for their movement but they're not
00:59:22.920
they're elevating these voices and because we have essentially forced them to go out on a plank
00:59:28.540
right and it's going to eventually lose them the general public and like even if you think gayness
00:59:36.280
is immoral you don't really get to choose the morality of other people that's not the world we live
00:59:41.540
in anymore and you can't build the coalition big enough to win elections if you're just trying to
00:59:46.680
enforce your moral system anymore yeah well and back to those free market ideals that seem to be
00:59:52.680
fairly pervasive in the new right if you do really believe in your cultural values the way that you
00:59:57.740
show that those cultural values are superior and win people over to them is by having people
01:00:03.280
within that group thrive and making your group more competitive inheriting the future i do think
01:00:08.700
there's a little bit more of a long-termist view in the new right because between the intellectual
01:00:13.380
dark web element of it and the heavily moneyed future looking vcs and entrepreneurs in it you're
01:00:19.980
going to get far future views long-termism which is great yeah well a few notes here is that a lot of
01:00:29.160
people might be hearing this and be like oh so you're like a category of libertarian right because
01:00:32.920
you want this open competition and i think that this is a fundamental misunderstanding of the new right
01:00:38.800
and it causes a lot of people to not see this is a fundamentally new political movement uh that's goals
01:00:45.220
are very different than the libertarian political movement the goals of the new right first and
01:00:50.120
foremost the thing they care about about all other things is protecting people from the urban monoculture
01:00:56.080
and ultimately the defeat of the urban monoculture and then once the pakistan romana of the urban
01:01:01.480
monoculture falls a defeat of the savage people these are the people who got through the fertility collapse
01:01:08.660
by becoming incredibly xenomorphic i disagree actually what do you i i think the the the new right
01:01:15.960
is more of it's less about defining itself in opposition of another group a big bad aka the urban monoculture
01:01:27.320
reintroducing free market principles and and and and increasing efficiency that's why you have this concept
01:01:37.900
of the department of efficiency with musk strongly strongly strongly strongly disagree they don't
01:01:41.980
care about decreasing increasing efficiency they want things to run better they they care about
01:01:46.480
economic policy they don't care about it for its own sake they care about it from a from a
01:01:51.460
consequentialist perspective i.e if it can help our country beat other countries it's useful yeah if it
01:01:57.380
can help our country in like like eventually humanity end up taking to the stars yeah i mean of course they
01:02:02.660
want things to run better so that humans can thrive but yeah if it can keep civilization from
01:02:07.560
collapsing but that's very different from the libertarian mindset the libertarian mindset
01:02:13.180
is that there is an intrinsic ethical good often towards this freedom extra freedom perspective
01:02:20.280
more freedom is good is inherently good itself is good the new right believes freedom is good
01:02:29.600
in so far as it has utility so you can see somebody like curtis yarvin or something like that
01:02:35.520
as a great example of one of the new right thinkers and he definitely you know for him he's a monarchist
01:02:40.180
right like he definitely wouldn't be seen as like a libertarian type but he fits in very well with the new right
01:02:47.060
because he is hypothesizing alternate societal models that might be more efficient or more effective
01:02:53.960
in the socio-political context we find ourselves in why do most of the new right take libertarian looking
01:03:01.280
ideas or perspectives it's because they see that as the most efficient position right it works better
01:03:07.800
for the short term yeah but they are not ideologically libertarian in and of itself like i am not a
01:03:15.360
libertarian if another system could be shown to work better for example sam altman will do something
01:03:20.860
on this soon who's sort of in this room and he recently did this big ubi test does universal basic
01:03:25.360
work and basically it showed it made people poorer we'll get to that in a different episode but i can't
01:03:30.860
wait for that i'm so excited to dive into this research if it had shown that ubi worked i would
01:03:36.640
have been like oh great let's try to work that into our economic policy especially with the ai revolution
01:03:42.300
yeah because it's showing the ubi didn't work i'm like no let's not do that we are and i think that
01:03:48.780
this shows what i mean when we're like yeah we're libertarian win and you see this with like jd
01:03:53.980
vance as well he's taking a lot of positions that can work pretty socialist to some people like you
01:03:59.520
know a rising minimum wage and stuff like that and if i do it he does it to win like winning the
01:04:06.120
culture war matters more and the culture war here isn't like the american culture war we mean like
01:04:12.800
the war for civilization because the way that we see it is the urban monoculture doesn't really have
01:04:18.440
a long-term plan for civilization it's really just trying to well basically burn things down
01:04:24.080
it sees humanity as an intrinsic evil and it wants humanity eventually gone and it's about trying to
01:04:30.200
live as hedonistically as it can for the the short term right and i think that that's where this
01:04:36.100
movement really is not that libertarian in its leanings and will make compromises on libertarian
01:04:41.620
principles really really quickly in a way that can seem sort of shocking to members when they're like
01:04:47.240
wait i thought you were traditional conservative and it's like yeah well it didn't work in this
01:04:50.780
instance that makes sense yeah that makes sense the final thing i wanted to talk about with this
01:04:57.440
movement is i want to get really into within online faces better defining what it is better understanding
01:05:04.400
what it is and labeling it because for a lot of these movements part of them coming to exist in a
01:05:10.900
wider context is somebody out there saying this is a thing that's happening
01:05:16.040
this is a movement or a group and we need to be paying attention to it and when the new right i think
01:05:24.280
is really going to form in the minds of the general public is when there's the first press piece really
01:05:29.100
freaking out about it in the new york times you know that's when the alt-right comes to exist that's
01:05:33.200
when the tea party really comes to exist but i think that and a person who's done this really well
01:05:37.600
is paul vanderclay who we've been on his show he's been on our show he talks a lot about this
01:05:41.760
little corner within online environments and he sort of created the concept of this corner of people
01:05:46.920
who talk about like and made it a thing by labeling it and talking about it yeah and he would humbly
01:05:54.660
argue i imagine if you were sitting here that oh well i didn't come up with the term other people
01:05:59.480
did and i'm just part of this little corner but the fact is he is one of the more prolific actors in
01:06:05.160
the space he's one of the louder voices because he's just so frequently publishing and therefore
01:06:11.000
his word is actually quite powerful in shaping the perception of the industry he's the one who made it
01:06:17.400
a thing not industry i should say space but you know what i mean yeah well and i think that that
01:06:23.760
the new right one we didn't make up this term it's like the term that's out there i actually got it from
01:06:28.420
an ai when i was like what do you call the iteration of conservative that this list of people would be seen
01:06:34.640
as and it's like oh this is the new right and here's like 10 other people who are in it and i
01:06:38.540
was like oh yeah that's every one of those people i agree on pretty much every one of their major
01:06:42.960
policy positions and so i was like okay well it's already a thing that exists and i'd also point out
01:06:49.820
that our only uniqueness was in the new right movement is we are probably the one of the more
01:06:57.460
prominent people that talks regularly but we aren't the only prominent person who talks regularly
01:07:02.240
richard hanania seems pretty solidly in the movement brian caplan seems pretty solidly in
01:07:07.380
the movement diana fleishman seems pretty solidly was in the movement it's just that i think that
01:07:12.000
now our podcast might be a bit bigger than any of their mouthpieces but they have more legacy appeal
01:07:18.140
than um a lot of other stuff so in a way they're higher than this and obviously the elite of the new
01:07:24.260
right is the actual tech elite like the actual king king of the new right is elon musk and i think that
01:07:32.240
that's pretty only other ones with the money yeah totally and i thought one of the things that you
01:07:35.720
mentioned that was interesting this morning is you're like the alt-right did some really smart
01:07:38.660
things where like milo would create like inside jokes and stuff like that and if you're wondering
01:07:44.540
what we mean when we're like the alt-right was the first of the right-wing movements that coded
01:07:48.280
vulgarity with authenticity i think milo is a very good example of this milo yiannopoulos yeah he would
01:07:53.860
do things like call trump daddy and everything like that i thought that that was like fun when he did
01:07:58.600
it i think a fun thing we could we could start with elon it's the big e i was telling her that's what
01:08:03.040
the emperor of mankind is called in the 40k universe and the 40k type stuff has really been drawn into the
01:08:10.520
alt-right and the new right movement like it's like a theming throughout it a lot of people called trump
01:08:14.920
the god emperor of mankind which which works because they're they're pulling from these
01:08:19.840
ultra masculine ideals but also ones that have a degree of vulgarity to them when i say vulgarity
01:08:25.200
that doesn't just mean like it's sexually disgusting or something it means that it's low culture then
01:08:30.940
we've mentioned this this is like elon musk and cat girls i mean i did promise the internet that i'd
01:08:34.820
make cat girls this is this is milo yiannopoulos and and calling trump daddy this is uh you know 4chan and
01:08:43.440
yeah well it's you can even see it in the illustration type of the memes these are you
01:08:50.260
know ms paint appearing low effort often black and white um images that are seen as kind of the
01:08:57.680
trademark of the alt-right so yeah i'm with you on that vulgarity is a sign of authenticity and
01:09:03.860
people actively trying to sort out pearl clutchers and pod people even as you're describing in another
01:09:14.080
conversation we had ayla being used as a social talisman at events causing many people who just
01:09:22.840
don't know anything about her but can't bear the very concept of her to be filtered out because
01:09:28.940
frankly they don't deserve to be at these events if they have those kinds of views absolutely yeah
01:09:34.220
and again like the new right isn't like necessarily all 100 pro ayla but they are 100 pro ayla having
01:09:41.560
the right to exist and have her opinions and i think that that's what defines them and why they use her as
01:09:47.120
like a talisman on their parties because they're like this is somebody who is having their own ideas
01:09:52.900
it's like a novel thinker and i think that that's another thing was in the new right is novel thinkers
01:09:57.980
are elevated in status above people you agree with oh yes absolutely yeah and you can see this
01:10:07.020
even championed by peter thiel with his you know sort of famous quite old question at this point which
01:10:13.200
i think is what like what is your most heretical belief or really trying to get people to focus on
01:10:19.040
their areas of differentiation rather than their areas of mutual agreement well yeah and i think a lot
01:10:24.560
of people who follow us or our podcast super disagree with us but like that they disagree with
01:10:30.220
us disagree with us but they like that at least we are trying to have unique ideas and of course if
01:10:37.140
you are trying to have unique ideas people are going to disagree with a lot of things but i think that
01:10:41.540
this elevates what is maybe one of the highest of values of the new right which is
01:10:54.320
yes really owning your ideas and beliefs it's a big deal thing in the community for sure yeah it
01:11:05.060
encourages me i don't i don't know if the election in the united states this november is going to make
01:11:10.840
it go one way or the other honestly i think it it is its own faction and it will never really be able to
01:11:17.340
run the united states because in the end it's a little bit too too opposed to mainstream ideas to
01:11:25.100
be able to run everything i disagree really strongly on this point so i'd love to hear your thesis i think
01:11:30.780
that it could do a lot of good if the trump administration is elected into office and it
01:11:37.540
adequately empowers the new right within it which is still a big if a lot of promises appear to have
01:11:43.260
been made and a lot of people have expectations that that new right will people will be installed
01:11:47.720
within the administration but i'm one of those i'll believe it believe it if i see it people
01:11:51.900
and i do think that four years of that alone would be huge for our government but i also just think that
01:12:00.560
the united states no matter what so much bureaucracy has accumulated over time and also the average
01:12:06.800
american doesn't like weird the reason the democratic party in the u.s is using the term weird so
01:12:14.920
flamboyantly and flagrantly in its campaign materials is because a huge swath of americans don't like weird
01:12:23.140
they don't like considering new ideas they don't like change and this new right that's so pluralistic
01:12:30.400
that's so open to challenging ideas is just it's too uncomfortable i would say it's above the pay
01:12:37.420
grade of most americans i this sounds very disrespectful but i just i don't think most i don't
01:12:44.180
think a huge swath of the country wants to handle that kind of approach to life or can handle that kind
01:12:50.720
of this is the reason why they've ended up winning and why i think they're going to win more in the
01:12:55.640
future so there's three reasons the first is like in terms of when you're like will they end up running
01:13:02.000
this country my first thought is well if the united states government ends up being captured by the
01:13:06.420
wokies and then economically collapses and it loses its state infrastructure which faction of america is
01:13:12.440
going to end up running everything i'm like obviously it's the cultural descendants of the new right
01:13:17.520
because they have all of the industry all the fabs all the semiconductors all the technology
01:13:22.580
and there really isn't any other faction with the industrial capacity to like if we're talking about
01:13:29.160
like a haven state country or any sort of collapse they are the ones with the automated gun drones
01:13:35.500
with organizations that could have opposed them historically like boeing and stuff like that
01:13:40.640
being so incompetent we actually heard recently one of our friends like family members even without
01:13:46.080
another job laid up he's like worked at boeing for 20 years and he's like i cannot do this anymore
01:13:50.160
it's become too woke and the organization isn't producing anything anymore it's not producing any
01:13:55.220
innovation anymore which lowers the the other side's ability to defend themselves if they ever
01:14:00.380
really went up against a post pox romana new right but you've also got to say well could they
01:14:06.980
within a trump administration actually run things efficiently absolutely because they have one run things
01:14:13.060
before and they're really okay with disruption if they can work with and this is one of the things we're
01:14:17.720
trying to do is help people who are in the legacy right get their legal apparatus that can help protect
01:14:25.000
the new right if they're making the radical changes in the mass firings that yeah because it's one thing
01:14:29.200
you can go into twitter and fire 80 percent of the staff you can't go into the u.s government and
01:14:37.120
reading this autobiography by hr mcmaster right now i'm almost done with it and just hearing how little
01:14:45.700
control trump actually had like people freaking out when trump would give like his personal cell phone
01:14:52.940
number to other foreign leaders because every time he wanted to communicate with a foreign leader
01:14:58.320
there had to be protocol there had to be five people on the line it had to be recorded in this way if you
01:15:03.640
wanted to send a communication to him another foreign leader everything yeah they had to like
01:15:07.840
anything and he didn't have competent people to protect him from this i think he wrote some note on
01:15:12.180
mcmaster writes in his book that he wrote some note on a headline and then handed it to mcmaster and
01:15:17.040
said like hey arrange for this to be delivered to putin because he was trying to make a point about
01:15:20.900
something i can't remember what it was and it doesn't matter but mcmaster took this written on
01:15:25.900
newspaper and handed it to whatever the department is that's supposed to review it and vet it before it
01:15:32.840
goes out i mean one why is that layer there that is creepy i mean if you need to record it record it but
01:15:38.240
fedex that thing or whatever to russia and and he he encouraged this department to take their time
01:15:46.860
you know to like slow down because he really wanted to try to convince trump to not send this to putin
01:15:51.740
and just that level of sandbagging something he's the president he is he has the right to communicate with
01:15:59.360
other foreign leaders this is a weird you get the impression in tv shows that a president can just
01:16:04.940
pick up the phone and call china and call whatever nation they want no he should if he was a lefty
01:16:12.060
president he could if he was aligned with the deep state he could this is the deep state blocking him
01:16:17.780
and the deep it was quite it's a creepy book to read it is competent foot soldiers to fight against
01:16:23.840
and that's what the new right is that he didn't have before and that's why yes they can but then there's
01:16:29.740
the final thing is why is the new right so politically appealing to americans and the reason why the new
01:16:34.400
right is so politically appealing to americans and why even though the average american may not support
01:16:40.080
the new right the problem is is that as the political movements are shifting the new right
01:16:45.780
can build a winning electorate specifically what i mean by that is if you look at individuals like if
01:16:53.600
you if you look at like the the the wokes right who in the urban monoculture which which controls the
01:16:58.980
left right suppose i'm a member of the old right like i'm one of the theocrats you know i'm a
01:17:03.380
conservative catholic or i'm a conservative jew or i'm a conservative mormon or protestant or
01:17:08.460
something like that and i may have a desire like i may prefer a candidate who will enforce my value
01:17:17.360
system on other people on the urban monoculture right but when i look at two potential candidates
01:17:24.440
the problem is is that i know that at least the new right candidate will protect my family from the
01:17:30.480
urban monoculture or world work to do that so i am okay with them the problem is is that the new
01:17:37.800
right if they're deciding between a lefty who wants to enforce their culture on us or a far right like
01:17:44.080
gop inc person that wants to enforce a culture on us both are equally bad so we're not going to vote or
01:17:51.320
we'll might even vote for the lefty over over that and i think that this is one really smart of trying
01:17:57.600
to move from like the legacy right mike pence to the new right jd vance as an archetype especially
01:18:03.920
after dodds because why we saw such a blue wave in the united states after well in 2022 was suddenly
01:18:14.860
again it became the imperative it's it's back to that ai x-risk problem when you make it clear to one
01:18:22.420
group that their way of life or their very existence is threatened by your strict policies
01:18:28.700
they have to do everything they can to destroy you or fight against you or make sure someone else is in
01:18:35.560
power they have no other choice and that is why the republican party was trounced two years ago
01:18:40.300
and yes i think that there's been a lot of it's so funny to see the left in the united states trying to
01:18:50.480
keep attaching a national abortion ban to the republican party to just try to make that happen
01:18:57.500
again despite trump vehemently saying no this is a state's issue but yeah well and it being a state's
01:19:06.260
issue is very aligned with the new right and i think this is the thing like the new right was pro
01:19:11.060
him getting rid of roe versus wade like that was in our i i think that it was a very unfair supreme court
01:19:16.900
decision i don't think that it should have been a supreme court decision i think it was
01:19:19.620
unconstitutional but i also and i'm also pro and you are pro even within our state making stricter
01:19:27.300
abortion regulations but we're not pro universalized abortion restrictions i.e you know at the level of
01:19:34.560
embryos and stuff like that only once you have you know significant neural tissue growth once it appears
01:19:40.020
that that there might be 12 to 15 weeks sentience and that's where we're like okay that you shouldn't
01:19:46.800
be doing any you can watch our abortion episode or we go into a lot more thoughts on this which i
01:19:50.820
actually think is fairly aligned was most of what the new right thinks so when you say like oh i don't
01:19:56.280
think they can get behind the new right the problem is is it the new right is the only viable from a
01:20:03.040
political perspective right-leaning candidates left at the national level
01:20:08.680
and so i hope i hope people see it that way i would love to see what the new right apparatus such that
01:20:19.660
is forming do can do in four years it could do so many good things it could clean up so much
01:20:26.700
bloat and excess you know it needs to defragment our country i want to see that happen i would love to
01:20:35.360
see that happen too i love you to death simone i think it's totally doable if we attack this hard
01:20:41.360
and fast and i think it's also very important and it's something that i've been working a lot to do
01:20:45.680
that we build bridges with the legacy right and we attempt to bring them into the conversation
01:20:50.320
if they don't want to be a part of the mainstream right conversation these days if they want to talk in
01:20:57.060
their echo chambers that's fine but they're eventually and anybody who follows online discord knows that the
01:21:03.760
online discord is solidly aligned with the new rights value system they're eventually going to
01:21:08.180
be replaced and so we are trying to bring them on board kicking and screaming if we must and we
01:21:14.820
will probably be able to right now we're been in some talks with the heritage foundation about putting
01:21:19.400
together a conference that's for like rising right-wing influencers and bringing them into the
01:21:24.580
traditional like halls of power within conservative politics and having direct lines of communications with
01:21:29.840
policymakers but also having a lot of organizations whether it's the claremont group or american moment or
01:21:33.660
whatever heritage foundation have a way to talk with these individuals and maybe even have these
01:21:38.760
individuals vet things before they throw them out there like project 2025 and be like hey this is not
01:21:44.580
what the base wants we could make a lot of progress yeah because i think the point is and this is really
01:21:49.760
important the establishment gop knows how to navigate the deep state knows where points of pressure why did
01:21:59.260
they fail under trump it's because they're traitorous and they've always been traitorous and trump knows
01:22:04.480
that and that's why he isn't working with heritage foundation right now and that's why he chose jd
01:22:07.940
vance as his running mate in what way do you think they're traitorous fundamentally they don't believe
01:22:12.900
this perfect example i was at the natcon and i was talking with some of these people and i wanted to
01:22:18.900
say what group they were from and i was like why are you doing this this isn't what the base wants and they
01:22:23.040
said f the base the base are like a bunch of stupid rednecks they are traitorous they don't care about
01:22:29.520
the american people they don't care about trump's agenda and they are not real friends of republicans
01:22:35.960
they have always thought that they know better than you what you should be doing and what you should
01:22:40.980
want and they look upon the trump voter base with the same disdain that the far left urban monoculture
01:22:49.320
and other deep state individuals do so you just want to cross the aisle because it doesn't sound
01:22:54.160
like you want to cross the aisle here i want to cross the aisle to bring the ones who are willing
01:22:58.780
to treat our people with respect over and say oh i see that the base doesn't want this and i'm willing
01:23:05.960
to and when i talk with the heritage foundation most of them are actually willing to cross the aisle
01:23:10.300
i think that a lot of the high level people are willing to cross the aisle i think that what it is is
01:23:14.960
they're low level operatives who are so excited to have gotten an internship at whatever org
01:23:19.300
they're the ones who aren't and they're the ones who need to be purged yeah we'll be clear the the
01:23:23.860
ones who said what you said they were not with heritage they were not with heritage they were
01:23:30.140
with another organization that i thought was really cool yeah they were i was really surprised about this
01:23:36.200
but it made me realize that they are not they're not all our friends and as we bring them over we need to
01:23:43.780
do it selectively and not well this same group yeah also is pretty antithetical to our wider views
01:23:49.360
and that they were like no bureaucracy is good so long as we run it the deep state's okay so long as
01:23:54.720
we run it yeah they literally said this was another group are you are you serious this is insane yeah
01:24:00.880
they said the goal of the republican should be to control and persist in control of the deep state
01:24:04.840
not the erasure of the deep state what no well i think this shows the fundamental difference between
01:24:12.220
the new right and the legacy gop that's what the legacy gop always wanted was control over the deep
01:24:18.600
yeah and i guess what's funny to me as i walk around our local area as a state rep candidate is just
01:24:31.900
the recognition from everyone else that this is like
01:24:35.580
the cheerleaders and the jocks all kind of angling for power around the locker room
01:24:45.320
while everyone else just goes about their lives and and you know like student government things they
01:24:51.800
run everything and they don't and they just i mean obviously everyone has to live in their world and it
01:24:57.880
sucks but at the same time there's just all these very disaffected people who are really just fed up with
01:25:03.940
with all of anyone who's involved in government anyone who's just like well i wish they would fix
01:25:09.000
things but i'm i've been disappointed by them enough to know that they won't and i'm just you know it's
01:25:15.520
the the turd sandwich and the giant douche once again so i love you i love you too making you
01:25:25.180
sauteed sausage with the mexican street corny gun tonight right yeah that works great okay cool well you pick
01:25:33.300
up the kids in 20 minutes and i will start yeah this went way longer than i expected it to we're
01:25:38.940
like oh we'll do a short one today so much for that but that's okay i will get to better
01:25:44.640
make them shorter it's alone i'll try to edit it down in editing i think the problem is that we really
01:25:50.780
love each other and we really like talking and we don't want to stop and this is the the quiet
01:25:57.420
happy relaxing date night that we have whenever we record i also like that i have audience keeping
01:26:04.160
me honest you know when when audience was remember like you need to be nicer to simone i was like you
01:26:08.160
know i really do i need to be nicer to you when you don't i i have this like innate reaction when
01:26:13.580
somebody doesn't immediately get what i'm trying to say where i get angry and i need to get better
01:26:18.640
about that oh and i'm learning that from our audience how to be a better husband maybe i can
01:26:24.720
just not be such a midwit how about that simone you're so brilliant you've really helped in terms
01:26:31.580
of the title cards of the show i could never make them as good without your help i've explained to you
01:26:35.680
that that is because i have the the pock on my record of a fine arts minor at gw which actually
01:26:45.880
turned out to be so useful for lighting and stuff yeah you see we're trying to get better with all
01:26:50.040
our equipment here no no no this is bad i i really need to fix it and i will knock out my promise and
01:26:54.460
my day got derailed with calls today and i'm really sorry about that and it will i'll catch up tomorrow
01:26:59.600
tomorrow's another day right tomorrow is a latter day and i'll be here for you
01:27:08.440
one of the stories i have to tell our our fans is we went to walmart and i was looking you know just
01:27:31.700
we go on morning walks and we were going on a morning walk there because we can you know put
01:27:34.820
the baby thing in one of the pushers anyway shopping carts yes and i was looking to get
01:27:42.440
some chips but i always like to get like the cheapest chips i can find and so we were looking
01:27:47.400
in the chip section and you know someone suddenly looking she goes oh you know i saw some barbecue
01:27:50.520
potato chips in the clearance section and i was like i don't remember seeing barbecue potato chips
01:27:57.040
in the clearance section and so we went back and i realized i had thought that this was
01:28:03.660
like a hair product of some sort and you will see it those of you who are watching online this is
01:28:12.360
right here this is barbecuing with my honey truffle by nikki minaj but they were so cheap they were 75
01:28:25.900
cents a bag so i decided to get some and they are you thought maybe it was just her image wasn't selling
01:28:33.720
and this was like a normal barbecue chip but with slightly different branding yeah and then people
01:28:38.100
didn't recognize that it was food like you yeah and you wouldn't recognize this as food but no it tastes
01:28:44.980
chemical toxic it tastes like pink hair dye i also can't are you sure that's not a placebo
01:28:53.780
every aspect of this packaging i can't get over with my honey so disgusting well no it just sounds
01:29:01.100
like honey barbecue chips with truffle you would say with honey not my honey oh why why did you go there
01:29:10.040
oh but this also reminds me this is another thing i was sharing with you when we're talking about
01:29:17.060
like where is this woke consumer i i love your you are in a state of like damage right now
01:29:24.100
no i don't like where i am right now so i sent you the the the list of the top you know 10 podcasts
01:29:31.640
because i decided to look it up okay and i was sort of shocked is that they're all explicitly right
01:29:37.680
leaning or i don't know who sean ryan is i'll have to look that one up so perplexity says that while
01:29:43.840
he or at least at one point identified as a democrat most of his guests are right leaning
01:29:47.660
i might be wrong about that one but you've got sean ryan who looks right leaning but i'll find out
01:29:53.400
then you've got joe rogan right right leaning candace right leaning tucker carlson right leaning
01:29:59.100
talk to it with hayley reg this is the hawk to a girl but she's doing well for herself i'm so glad
01:30:04.940
yeah that makes me happy i assume she's right leaning given she has a cowboy hat but maybe i'm wrong
01:30:10.380
and then the two under that are two that are like but it's like where is the woke audience like
01:30:15.800
they're not watching anything not even like a mildly likely they're watching mainstream media
01:30:21.300
someone has to malcolm gosh hello uh by the way the other thing i sent you that i was quite excited
01:30:27.860
about because earlier today i was like i think we might be bigger than the 87 hours podcast which
01:30:31.580
is one of the biggest podcasts in the ea space so if you go to this podcast listing site okay and i i
01:30:37.060
sent two pictures from it we're in the top three percent of podcasts they're in the top five percent
01:30:41.080
wow we're in the top three percent yeah how is that is oh well that's impressive wow well done malcolm
01:30:53.140
i i i love that the the the like branch of like the ea slash singularity movement that was right
01:31:00.360
leaning ended up uh and i think it'll be handedly so within about a year and a half the larger branch
01:31:07.040
when it was considered such an insignificant fraction like we weren't even invited to events
01:31:11.740
for a long time we still aren't invited to events they still don't like us i have been reaching out
01:31:18.240
to them one of the things we're going to talk about on this podcast is i've been trying to bridge the
01:31:21.940
divide in my outreach to podcasts recently but we'll just get started and we can we can jump right into
01:31:33.800
by the way the statistics might be wrong i i saw that on paul vanderclay they had him in the top one
01:31:42.320
