00:00:00.000
hello everyone we're so excited today to be joined by a very special guest spoon the aristocratic
00:00:05.740
utensil on youtube as well as on x although their handle on x is at aris and what i wanted to talk
00:00:12.600
about today was voting and democracy and is it relevant anymore and where how could you construct
00:00:21.460
better systems and i thought that you'd be a great person to have on with this especially talking with
00:00:25.480
us because i know that you had like monarchist leanings people have called our political
00:00:30.900
beliefs plutarchist i'm interested to hear more from you oh basically how did i get to my views
00:00:38.120
yeah did you grow better why you think it's you know a good structure what a perfect country would
00:00:46.240
look like okay so it's kind of weird how i even got into politics in general because if i if i
00:00:53.440
would look at like my 16 year old self and my 35 year old self and go you're going to be on youtube
00:00:58.840
one day talking about politics i would go okay what the hell happened in my life that made me take an
00:01:05.640
interest in politics let alone monarchy how did i get to that that's just bizarre i don't how and it
00:01:14.820
was it was basically because a friend of mine several years ago this was like back in early 2010s i want
00:01:22.100
to say before bernie sarnas really hit the scene but she was also a bernie fan this this will show
00:01:27.540
you how long the culture has shifted for and just a very short amount of time actually is that she was
00:01:32.380
a californian girl who was let's just say she was built in a very feminine way she's from california
00:01:38.260
but lefty perspectives but she control like i'm an absolute arsehole right winger which by today's
00:01:45.900
standards makes no sense an extremely lefty person but they spit right-wing insults yes like she would
00:01:52.000
drop slurs in a way that would get you banned on twitter within 30 seconds which is not a human
00:01:56.300
being that exists today standard and she got me into bernie sarnas as as a political figure and then
00:02:03.780
right about the time he said a couple of things that made me as a south african go
00:02:09.680
that's just factually not true he said white people don't know what it's like to be poor
00:02:15.960
and i went mathematically that doesn't even add up that's just that's just not true and the way he
00:02:23.220
spoke about certain racial policies made me go okay were you a a like bernie supporter at this point
00:02:30.900
like you liked him as a political candidate yes i think okay so i said this in one of my streams and
00:02:36.600
i think this is what makes you go further left-leaning and what makes you right-wing is that
00:02:42.220
from the the old liberal perspectives i do think it is based upon a lot of people can look at the
00:02:49.140
system and go there is a lot of corruption there is a lot of unnecessary government control in places
00:02:55.660
they shouldn't be and they sort of just look at the the current paradigm and go this is not a moral
00:03:01.460
system and the problem is they look at this situation and go there should be state intervention what
00:03:07.900
they're really looking for is morality in the state whereas if you're a right-winger you'll
00:03:14.300
recognize this doesn't work right and so you'll you'll tend to go from more libertarian perspective
00:03:20.620
which is just these institutions are beyond repair because they incentivize a certain behavior that you
00:03:27.280
cannot generate just through powering through the institutions you have to structure them in a way
00:03:33.440
that actually make the political class want to benefit the citizenry and the way that they want
00:03:40.200
the system to work just does not gel with human nature and when you go from that perspective you can
00:03:46.340
go okay now you have to shift libertarian or go completely insane and advocate for monarchy in the
00:03:51.160
21st century that's more the route that i took whereas the opposite end of leftism they are just
00:03:57.960
motivated motivated purely by envy there's just that i cannot compete in this system and so i must
00:04:04.780
smash it to bits in the hopes that whatever comes next will appeal to me and i've seen the people who go
00:04:10.560
for that and i don't want to be disrespectful but there's not a brain cell in those people like
00:04:16.720
really they are completely driven by this fantasy idea of an idealized bureaucracy it's kind of weird
00:04:24.120
this is the way i'm describing these people is whatever i wish to see in a king they wish to
00:04:30.940
see in an entire bureaucracy that abides by their morality that's a great way of putting it yeah
00:04:36.640
because what i feel differently about what you were saying is you were saying that like the sort of the
00:04:41.100
leftist leaning is smash what exists and then rebuild it whereas i think that was how it was for a while
00:04:46.700
and then it turned to just have the government fix it like fix the because they're in power now
00:04:51.360
fix them yeah fix the market failure and then this assumption that the entire government can
00:04:55.540
suddenly do that on a whim yes i really like a point you made here and i'd elevate it as i think
00:05:02.420
that this is distinctly part of what makes the new right quite different from the old right which is
00:05:09.160
the new right isn't particularly sold around one government ideology it's more just that they
00:05:15.840
actually want to fix things and they have multiple hypotheses about how that can be done and there
00:05:22.140
is like active debate and active attempts to implement this we even see was like elon and trump's
00:05:26.860
government right now or jd vance you know talking about like economic issues that would typically be
00:05:31.920
outside the normal right whereas the left just wants to not have to worry about money and that can be
00:05:38.940
achieved through printing money or taking money yeah they're basically materialists i would say
00:05:44.140
the biggest problem that the right has and this is going to sound a bit strange but there is an
00:05:49.760
aspect that the left this makes no sense if i say it out loud so i have to explain this and practice a
00:05:55.020
bit is the left understands humanity and the right does not which i'm aware comes makes yes here's what
00:06:03.060
i mean by that the harry on the lotus eaters pointed this out as well because him and i were having a
00:06:07.220
conversation about this is that the way that the the left operates is they claim the champion
00:06:13.560
egalitarianism and equality equal rights and all this stuff but the way they behave in power is
00:06:19.180
militantly hierarchical yes there's control from the top and anything down below there's no dissent
00:06:25.880
it's one man follow like a general in an army it's why they make such powerful roads because they
00:06:32.100
actually abide by how humans actually function the problem of it is the ideas they implement don't work
00:06:39.260
because they don't abide by human nature what the right doesn't recognize is this is how your
00:06:45.380
opposition plays the game is they will make you abide by their rules and they just hack the system
00:06:50.920
because they know that as long as you play by those rules you will lose and they can do whatever the hell
00:06:55.060
they want that's something that the right needs to learn is that if you wish to get in power
00:07:00.400
is that your opposition just gets power and imposes their will what you have to do is get in power and
00:07:09.700
force your worldview down their throat this is the same way they do to you don't this this thing this
00:07:15.040
this is an idea of no no ideas must be challenged and ideas must be debated like yeah that's a nice
00:07:21.100
ideal if everyone is playing the same game yeah however if you're not playing the same game then it's
00:07:26.620
i have the biggest stick and i'm gonna beat the crap out of you with it and people think this is
00:07:31.000
oppressive but this is how the world works structurally how do you do that like if you
00:07:36.440
were giving advice i mean i feel like right now when i look at what the trump administration is doing
00:07:40.700
this cycle i'm like wow like this is exactly what i've always wanted to see a president do
00:07:45.360
like would you be telling them to do something different or do you think they finally like figured it out
00:07:49.240
i think if you were to just get okay i would think america's biggest problem is separation of church and state
00:07:54.840
is i don't think i don't think that is a good idea i think any sane civilization the church and state
00:08:03.320
must be wielded if it's going to survive oh here's an area where i would disagree really strongly i think
00:08:08.200
combining the church and the state always ends up watering down the church was more progressive or
00:08:13.340
secular ideals as we've seen happen to the church in the uk well but we're moving in in more spoons
00:08:20.100
direction because the domestic policy is part of broader broader efforts to reshape domestic policy
00:08:27.820
including the establishment of the white house faith office which was established via executive
00:08:32.860
order on february 7th and it aims to integrate faith-based perspectives that is pretty badass yes
00:08:38.220
no but hold on hold on hold on because i actually believe this very strongly i think that in the u.s and
00:08:43.300
in the uk some churches have liberalized but within the uk like the church that always ends up liberalizing
00:08:49.940
one of the most is whenever you have at least to my knowledge pretty much in every country where you
00:08:55.140
have a church and state integration and that church and state integration is a christian one rather than
00:08:59.980
a muslim one the state ends up corrupting the church and making it very progressive so if we had a
00:09:05.540
state-based version of christianity in the u.s it would be one of the most progressive versions i was just
00:09:11.660
watching a great video it would be universe unitarian universalist yeah and he was the oldest churches in
00:09:18.840
the u.s are always the most progressive and the newer churches are always the more conservative what
00:09:23.720
are your thoughts on that i wonder if that's more an american phenomenon because i don't i think that
00:09:29.960
scales depending on the culture around them the reason i say this is because i actually think it's it's
00:09:35.980
about the competing sex of christianity because the reason i say this is because i've had conversations
00:09:41.080
with american protestants and the protestants back home and what i find interesting is that
00:09:47.060
south africa's christian sect comes from like the french huguenots that were trying to escape catholic
00:09:54.100
persecution in france and you have germans and you've got dutch mix and there's no other competing
00:09:58.740
sect of christianity it's just protestants so there's no like russian orthodox or i mean there is now i
00:10:05.640
suppose but there's no there's no like mixture of competing ideologies and so there's just the one
00:10:11.480
and i get the feeling that if it's just like this one that everyone relies on then okay yeah it is more
00:10:17.060
i suppose it is easier to change the culture if you happen to permeate the the church and change it from
00:10:22.100
the inside but it is also more protective because everyone knows that yet this is the only entrance you
00:10:26.460
can go to change is through this one institution like there's no other entrances so i'm wondering if
00:10:31.900
the competition of many also makes it easier to spread the ideology in ways like what you just
00:10:38.120
said is like age is a variation that you just brought up i'm not saying this is the case i'm
00:10:42.560
just wondering if that might we actually have talked about this a lot on the show because it's something
00:10:46.260
that we study to try to understand how to like keep cultures protected and a really common phenomenon
00:10:51.000
you see across religions is if a religion is connected to the state like if or even the majority
00:10:57.220
of the population like if a catholic majority population in a country the catholics in that country will be
00:11:01.720
very very loosey-goosey catholics but if they are a minority particularly a oppressed minority then
00:11:07.940
they will be much more conservative and rigid and following their beliefs and i can understand why
00:11:12.680
that would be the case that's probably why it's because if they're if they're minority they feel
00:11:17.860
threatened if they feel threatened they will take whatever is closest as a defensive mechanism and
00:11:21.800
bolster it yeah and once once something becomes more mainstream it becomes more watered down
00:11:28.340
so a question i had for you based on what you were saying earlier is aligning government worker
00:11:35.040
incentives with sort of like like what is good for the people i've written extensively on this
00:11:43.080
particular subject because i think it's really interesting the way that like i wrote is probably
00:11:47.180
the best you could do that is to separate the different incentives that you would want for a state
00:11:52.460
and then build voting patterns based on each of those incentives i.e like the amount that you're
00:11:57.840
paying in taxes determines your vote was in one branch of the government how many kids you have
00:12:03.500
determines your vote was in another branch of the government i'm wondering how you look to do this
00:12:07.980
within a monarchist system or within any sort of a system that you would think of like how do you
00:12:12.280
align the government bureaucrats incentive with the people i quite like what you just pitched there
00:12:17.860
like almost like a scoring based system for your sway and power yeah that's kind of cool actually
00:12:24.240
but my only okay i can't explain how my government system no no i want to hear his only problem with
00:12:28.580
that okay my only problem that i have with democracy in general and i was reading a short
00:12:34.920
stint by a book by james i think it was james brennan the case against or like against democracy and
00:12:40.400
one of the other things that he points out with is that there is an idea of democracy in a sort of
00:12:46.720
idealistic way is that if you give people information they will vote in a certain direction
00:12:53.520
that is more in line with their interests that makes sense on paper the problem is you can have
00:12:59.580
the smartest people in the world but if everyone you vote for is a corrupt asshole the geniuses of
00:13:04.320
your population goes nowhere i actually asked this on twitter i said if you could have a smart
00:13:09.320
population or moral politicians what would you have like 90 said moral politicians like the
00:13:15.180
intelligence or the population did not matter because they said those who are in the state
00:13:19.160
are the ones who make the policy and those are the people that matter the voice of the people in the
00:13:23.260
grand scheme of things does not matter if everyone that you can vote for is a prick
00:13:26.620
which is like oh god yeah like i was i was listening to some of the people that are like
00:13:34.360
outspoken democrats today yeah i said to a friend of mine you realize the most rational democrat
00:13:39.780
right now is probably john federman honestly yeah i like john federman he's local to us and i'm like
00:13:45.780
if john federman won and then ran in the next election cycle for president i think he'd be a
00:13:50.240
really hard person to beat yep that's the guy with like a literal brain injury is the most functional
00:13:56.740
one that it's like an snl skit yeah yeah well no no we've been on snl skit mode since 2016 this has
00:14:03.560
been great yeah it's yeah it also kind of makes me embarrassed when i just look at human civilization i
00:14:08.760
sort of look at this and go don't you want to be in the interesting timeline i'd rather be in a
00:14:14.360
functional timeline lame i disagree i'm very boring i'm a guy this is where i might disagree the most
00:14:22.300
with you because i love people i was on i don't know one some show on and i don't know fox or
00:14:28.040
something and they were like aren't you tired of being the rebellion and i was like no no being the
00:14:34.140
rebellion's the best this is awesome i am fighting a big bad evil i have my collection of of rudy tootie
00:14:43.540
like in fact in fact i almost think if we won and we began consolidating power i may feel an instinct
00:14:51.880
to switch sides because i feel like am i just like a voice of the state now yeah that is a way to view
00:14:59.580
it but i would say there's a certain kind of monotonous thing about it is that you're just
00:15:05.720
constantly cheering for your side and i i do understand the aspect of it is more fun to be
00:15:11.140
the rebel that punches whereas there is a certain element of okay how can i say this like aristocratic
00:15:18.500
haughty-toitiness of just like oh we're in power now and we can dedicate what we want ma ha ha ha and
00:15:22.900
you come across like an evil villain but then i also look at my opposition and go when you were in
00:15:26.820
power this is what you did to me i'm going to enjoy crushing your soul for the next four years
00:15:31.080
i mean and i will be very villainous about it because i have the accent for it so ha ha
00:15:35.540
you got it flaunt it i worry i mean i see this instinct on part of the right right but they
00:15:43.660
haven't been successful in influencing the the at least the trump administration in the position of
00:15:48.700
power right now and i think that this is enormously good if you look at where the trump
00:15:52.680
administration is actually counting its wins right now and trump has even said this in some
00:15:56.700
of his speeches he focuses only on 90 10 issues and i think that this is really smart because we
00:16:03.420
don't want to have happen to us what happened to the wokes in the culture war which is we let our
00:16:09.400
version of like trans activists that are pushing things that like wouldn't even win was in our own
00:16:14.240
party as our mainstream message and then get the general public to hate us and i think trump has been
00:16:19.740
while he has been like absolutely brutal on the stuff that every american agrees on like doge and
00:16:25.380
usaid and everything like that and the trans people in sports he hasn't pushed over the line
00:16:30.960
and there was actually an issue simone where you wanted him to push over the line and then you were
00:16:34.680
like oh i actually appreciate what was the issue i can't remember you're like why won't he go over
00:16:40.440
on oh no daylight savings yeah daylight saving yeah you wanted him to abolish daylight savings
00:16:45.240
yeah because most rational people do an issue yeah he he pointed out this is a surprisingly popular
00:16:50.560
issue to abolish daylight savings and i don't is there a particular reason why i'm not i've just
00:16:55.960
seen a lot of people do it i'm go why is this like an issue because an hour is stolen from your weekend
00:17:00.900
once every year it is the worst holiday of the year and but simone you the specific argument you
00:17:06.620
laid out for me is it specifically so it has been scientifically shown that on daylight savings day
00:17:11.480
because of the schedule change because not everyone is on board and that organized there
00:17:16.080
is a spike in hospitalizations and heart attacks and and i think strokes as well because of the
00:17:20.920
stress associated with the time change now i would argue that simplifying the tax code with the irs
00:17:26.180
would probably save a lot more lives because i think that causes way more stress than like a
00:17:29.920
like a time change being oh i'm late for work but it's still a fairly i had a horrible donk joke
00:17:38.520
now where that went because that's our audience right here it's like between the male and female
00:17:45.280
my my interaction was my god if daylight savings time causes you heartaches maybe you're supposed to
00:17:50.060
die yes we can just call it gentle purge day happy gentle purge day oh god
00:17:59.320
yeah yeah we talk about this on this channel a lot as like the pro natalist people people are like
00:18:07.060
oh you must want these selfish dink couples having more kids and i'm like no like it is great that
00:18:12.580
they're being removed from the gene pool nature is healing yeah i kind of agree with that i tend to
00:18:18.160
have a more higher genetic variation in the population primarily because i've seen what bad genes do to
00:18:23.920
people and i've seen how people with shitty genes behave like this something i like about the right
00:18:28.960
is it is becoming much more aggressive with the physiognomy checking oh god fantastic yeah it's great
00:18:35.980
because i think aporia just released a long essay on like is physiognomy real like this it's become
00:18:42.720
so trendy yes it's the obvious answer like there's there's certain people i can just look at and go like
00:18:48.460
you're just evil i can just tell like my soul is oh no so bitchy resting face is just
00:18:54.100
you're a bitch face no i mean i can't really say much because i myself look quite evil
00:18:59.760
yes i mean very clever in in putting no it's actually something that we noticed when we were
00:19:06.240
in san francisco last and we were looking at like old protest marches and stuff like that and we're
00:19:11.720
like oh my god these people actually we see this so there's humans in the 60s they look like mutants
00:19:18.160
they they the ones at the protests did not look like humans and when you normally when you look
00:19:24.620
in 60s you're like wow this is before everyone got overweight they look like the background from
00:19:29.980
like rocky horror picture show they look like that yeah they do it was notable yeah you can see this
00:19:34.760
if you go to the harvey milk terminal at sfo they're big like wall-sized pictures and yeah i have
00:19:40.840
seen some pictures of like the rainbow hippie marches and i'm like okay god if you want to flood the
00:19:46.960
world again of these people i would not be opposed just give me a floating raft it'll be good
00:19:51.400
alternate theory it could just be the intense amount of drugs they were all on no no no simone
00:19:55.900
that's true was it a discount ben discount ben love no but where i really saw this loudly was we
00:20:04.040
go to this conference where like the i don't know if you've heard of like the effective altruism
00:20:07.680
movement but like our branch of it the right wing branch of it ends up mixing with the other branch
00:20:11.760
and the right wing branch it's the group that i generally call like the bio bros and everything like that
00:20:16.680
and every single one of them looks like a fraternity guy like i don't know if you've
00:20:20.740
seen like johnny anomaly or like matt archer who runs aporia or we saw cremeu and in person from from
00:20:27.460
x and he looks exactly like a character from like animal house like and it's in and then the other
00:20:32.240
side all actually looks like mutants well or as as the jelly heretic calls them spite what it's spiteful
00:20:40.300
mutants ah yes i should get an interview with him actually he messaged me a while ago oh yeah if you
00:20:46.640
want us to like warm and true you or something just just let us know yeah because i i i do find him
00:20:52.220
interesting and i feel like he can draw out like my spiciest behavior and i can probably say some real
00:20:56.520
yeah yeah i don't have a topic to discuss with him he's more spicy than us i'll tell you that like
00:21:03.200
he is yes yes i've i've i've i have some friends who've met him and he's like he is really really
00:21:08.800
based like i can do that i can i can say i have some horribly spicy opinions that i'm he's a dude
00:21:14.880
and he was filming a documentary at our house and he actually offered he's like i'm gonna cut out some
00:21:21.860
of what you guys said because it was too spicy and i was like what did i say that was so spicy
00:21:26.020
and then i realized what it was i went on a rant against the german people and who i'm glad they're
00:21:30.180
going okay yeah i i would i would take the opposite position because i have some german ancestry it's
00:21:37.600
not like i do too i do too but i mean look at germany right now yeah i i kind of want their their
00:21:44.380
current elite class and return to the kaiser because that that to me was just where it all went really
00:21:49.960
really wrong like even the kaiser said abdication was not a good idea it did not produce what he
00:21:55.520
wanted and that that's that's a whole thing i kind of want to tell to people just be very careful about
00:22:00.020
who you wish to get rid of because i can guarantee you the person that you wish to prop up is not the
00:22:04.360
cure that you think it is yeah you just see the current this is evil and everyone that you like is
00:22:09.000
is good and everyone that you hate is bad and that is very simplistic binary that is not historically
00:22:14.960
speaking accurate by any means at all like take a look at what happened when you knocked off qaddafi
00:22:19.560
or saddam hussein or literally anyone that america's intervened with in the last oh i don't know about
00:22:24.940
125 years since the monroe doctrine so yeah yeah maybe give that a second thought that was actually
00:22:32.900
this really underrated element when i studied technology policy the whole thing was basically
00:22:38.200
about when and how you should intervene when there's a market failure that the only purpose of
00:22:43.600
the government is to step in and intervene when there's a market failure and then there was this one
00:22:47.980
one day in one class in the entire course where they were like well and i guess we should sometimes
00:22:53.440
question whether or not the government is actually capable of sufficiently resolving market failures
00:23:00.120
like can they actually fix it or do they make things worse when they intervene by the way for people who
00:23:04.680
are wondering where she was studying this and they they brought this just once and it was it was never
00:23:08.580
like oh well here's a statistic and it's just a statistical analysis for statistical analysis of
00:23:14.540
every time there has been an intervention of this type and whether it has worked or not there was
00:23:18.600
there was no like okay well let's try to figure out if it's on average worth it for the government
00:23:23.520
to intervene it was just i mean maybe maybe it doesn't always work when the government intervenes so
00:23:28.880
maybe we should be asking that one lone moment of dissent yes it's like it's like one little like
00:23:34.360
maybe that's the question guys maybe we shouldn't be like yeah why why why why would you expand the
00:23:43.720
bureaucratic state and basically pave the way for the government america's suffering in the now
00:23:49.060
that has a load of gunk that needs to get rid of okay here's my thing though about monarchies right
00:23:55.900
there's a lot of monarchies out there right now of varying degrees of actual monarchiness and varying
00:24:01.200
degrees of like shadow democracy taking place are there any countries or even experimental city
00:24:08.320
states out there where you're like that's a model that i like that it exists today or would you need
00:24:14.160
to or in history or in history okay yeah first today then history see this to me is is always kind
00:24:21.180
of an interesting question to ask because i feel like if you look at historically speaking at monarchies
00:24:26.380
it very much depends on how the people themselves want to be governed rather than the sort of
00:24:33.380
individual kings of the time because you can always look at history and go
00:24:37.580
see when people look at historically they sort of look at the modern perspective of if this person was
00:24:45.080
alive today with my politics how would i rate their reign it's very difficult to sort of look at history
00:24:50.920
and go what does a king in this period of time is considered like a noble or good king because you
00:24:57.960
can look at history and go you're richard you're lionauts you're king alfred you're catherine the great
00:25:02.640
or peter the great of federer the great of prussia and sort of say like well they expanded economic
00:25:07.820
opportunities during this time or your enlightened monarchs or despots you know and i it's always for me the
00:25:14.560
case of if i was going to look at a modern day sort of state the main thing that everyone is concerned
00:25:22.220
with in in modernity is materialistic gain and really not much else huh yeah and so yes there you
00:25:32.140
go is to what end and i've said to people the biggest problem of modernity is not capitalism it's
00:25:37.540
consumerism yeah there's no problem with private property and free markets that's all fine the
00:25:44.600
problem is that if you only live to consume you're just a mammal yeah but how do you how do you think
00:25:53.860
about this i mean so you which is the point you're making is that you would judge the monarch by their
00:25:57.640
ability to increase the material wealth of the people how does that affect your thoughts or do you
00:26:03.020
think that that's a bad way to judge a good monarch i i would say like if if somebody were to ask me
00:26:08.240
like what would a monarch do in today's society i feel like it would be very difficult to answer that
00:26:13.760
question when i look at the problems of our society today like like for i said the separation of church
00:26:18.980
and state is in my head is is a better idea than what we have now because like you you can say that
00:26:25.060
well if you look at you you you consider it the acceleration of progressivism if you were to
00:26:31.340
wedded today based on what you see which is maybe a good case to make but then you might also make the
00:26:37.080
case of well if we tried in the monarchy in today's society might it be different because the structure
00:26:41.840
is different we don't know they can even experiment with that so that's kind of the thing that i would
00:26:46.620
say the main thing that i would like to see a monarch be able to do or just any state in general
00:26:53.020
is just you need to find a way to actually flex power and also do it in a non-democratic way and just
00:27:01.160
say yeah well i'm taking the reins and you can piss off yeah and that's always been such a delicate
00:27:05.800
interplay right because when you look at the most famous monarchs half of their story is them trying
00:27:11.240
to wrest control from the nobility which in turn is trying to undermine them at every turn and maybe
00:27:16.080
subvert and take them over so you're right they don't that you can't think of a monarch out of
00:27:22.300
context they didn't fall out of a coconut tree they exist in the context in which all in which they
00:27:27.420
live and what came before them there's a really great quote i wish i could find a friend of mine
00:27:32.820
posted me this it was from a guy called eric ritter von cornell ladin very long name he's an austrian
00:27:38.580
noble yes he was an austrian nobleman of the of the early 20th century i think he was born the
00:27:43.180
late 19 or late 1800s incredibly bright individual i think he could speak something like nine languages
00:27:49.880
i've called classic european yes yes yeah classic of austrian aristocracy i think he could he actually
00:27:57.320
taught japanese in japan oh yeah very intelligent beautiful yes and he and mentions mole bug i think
00:28:05.820
has read him as well because i know we read him because it was through unqualified reservations that i
00:28:10.000
discovered the name and started reading his books yeah and he makes a case of in the old world
00:28:16.580
the function of the king was to unite with the peasantry against the aristocracy oh that's good
00:28:23.560
yeah and i know mobak also made the point of the three aristotelian forms of government is rule of the
00:28:30.740
many rule of a few rule of one and typically speaking the two out of three can or two uniting can knock out
00:28:38.360
the third so in our timeline it would be the people uniting behind the monarch to get rid of the
00:28:44.380
aristocracy which is basically what you have now is because i was watching msnbc or cnn why was i doing
00:28:51.340
but there's there was a guy on there who basically said that the bureaucracy exists to impede the
00:28:57.940
executive and in my head i'm like you just gave the game away right there you just said the bureaucracy
00:29:03.760
exists to impede the monarch that's what you just said and at no point do these people ever discuss i call
00:29:10.620
it the procedure and what i notice on television all i see is them discussing what should the state
00:29:17.120
be allowed to do not what is good policy not as what is good statecraft just like this person is
00:29:21.460
doing something that is illegal i'm like the reason why politics bores the shit out of me nowadays is
00:29:26.020
because everyone on television just discuss this and nothing else it's the reason why everyone is so
00:29:33.020
dull and boring because they don't know what good statesmanship looks like because it isn't discussed
00:29:37.320
anywhere all they discuss is the legalese but if you want to discuss what's good statecraft you have
00:29:43.140
to go back to previous century because we don't see it in our timeline so the the by the way when he
00:29:48.420
we talked about mulbug he's talking about curtis yarvin who's been on the show before a friend yeah
00:29:52.540
great guy we should have him back on i sent you an email telling you to ask him back on simone yeah
00:29:56.620
i wanted to ask how you prevent like this is my fear around monarchies and why i've generally been
00:30:02.780
more antagonistic to them is you end up like what you had with the roman empire where you can get
00:30:08.600
like truly atrocious monarchs that are purely self-interested when you look at like even i'd
00:30:15.220
say average monarchs of the imperial period of the roman empire what are your thoughts on how you deal
00:30:20.620
with that i don't actually think you can i think that's just a function of history and you just have
00:30:27.020
to weather the storm because like this is someone this is a common question that you always get asked is
00:30:31.260
what do you do when the corruption gets too hot and in our timeline the corruption is not touched
00:30:37.820
through the democratic process it just grows indefinitely behind the scenes you're just changing
00:30:41.780
the management but you're not changing any of the people that pull the strings so you make a surface
00:30:47.520
change but nothing actually changes and so you get to the point where you just invest a whole load of
00:30:54.360
money and time into this thing that inevitably steals and grows from you to the point where
00:30:59.040
we don't know how this ends in our timeline because we're not there yet and i fear the collapse comes
00:31:05.660
it's going to be really really bloody and gory and i eventually imagine bloodshed will arise at some
00:31:11.300
point i don't want it to go that way but i i think that is an inevitability because i don't see the
00:31:18.140
permanent bureaucratic class in our timeline willingly give up power yeah but i don't see them so i'm like
00:31:24.900
my take on this is and this is where i push back against stuff like well i mean there could be a
00:31:29.560
rebellion and i've talked to simone about this where i'm like she's like could there really be a
00:31:32.620
rebellion and we and i'm like well all you need for a real rebellion to happen in this country
00:31:38.360
is for one party to deny the election results of the other party no no no no i disagree point starving
00:31:45.280
people yeah people have to like literally create rebellion venezuelas have starving people for a long
00:31:50.380
time and they didn't get a rebellion things it is not on the ground no i think i think they're fed
00:31:56.880
they may not have electricity for days but they're in fact if you look at the british empire it was the
00:32:01.460
wealthiest parts that rebelled first ah yes jika chess has made that point that the aristocracy is
00:32:08.180
always anarchists they are that they do seem to be the most dangerous ones to be fair because the the
00:32:14.520
anarchists the the aristocratic class they have no interest in good government because they can always
00:32:18.440
believe they have money it's the poorest people that have the most interest in good government
00:32:21.420
because they don't have any other option which is probably why poor people like a strong executive
00:32:27.120
yes oh that's a really strong tie together here okay here's the question i have for you how do you
00:32:34.100
pull all this together so like when you look at like crashing fertility rates and what that's going
00:32:38.420
to do to like the global economic and tax system sort of how do you see what's your path to
00:32:43.020
chart forward into the future what's your hypothesis for your family for example oh good god so how would
00:32:48.940
i institute like basically how would you make traditional values cool i would say you know what
00:32:58.320
i think is honestly missing from not just the the right wing okay i'll use an example and i'm gonna
00:33:04.620
piss off a whole bunch of people saying this because this is sort of where i deviate and annoy a lot of
00:33:08.400
people is is take for example andrew tate okay andrew tate is a contentious figure because of what
00:33:14.880
he's done outside of it now my issue with him is i can listen to him and find him an interesting figure
00:33:20.480
despite what he's done because the way that i look at him is can he say something interesting and
00:33:24.980
thought-provoking and the answer is yes yeah yes and i can look at somebody and ignore the bad things
00:33:30.480
because i'm only looking for the good things like i can separate the art from the artist and this kind of
00:33:34.240
thing and what i what i fucking detest about so many people who claim to be right wing
00:33:40.600
is they look at people like that and they see a face and all they see is the villainous actions
00:33:46.580
and the thing that i want to tell these people do you understand that there's people like me
00:33:53.100
who don't care for the bad things because they're looking at him as a positive role model when all you
00:33:59.180
see is the bad you can't go to somebody else who sees the good and go stop listening to this people
00:34:05.680
because you are looking at the bad and you're trying to impose the bad on them and ignore the
00:34:10.020
good that he's done all you see is a face of evil because that's your morality and you can't just impose
00:34:16.760
that on somebody and shred the good that he's done because they're looking at you like why are you
00:34:21.360
imposing your evilness on me i've like this person did something good for me and you're chastising him
00:34:26.740
and making me feel like an asshole for it that doesn't work so what you need to do is you need
00:34:31.460
to prop up andrew wilson said this it's not enough to destroy somebody's worldview you have to replace
00:34:35.600
it with something yes absolutely right way the right wing does not have an answer to andrew tate's
00:34:40.960
popularity because andrew tate is a popular person for the material world and you and if you're trying
00:34:47.360
to impose traditional values you don't have you're trying to use a currency that is not currently in
00:34:53.880
circulation but we have to get people off that currency it's such a talk and the right wing
00:34:59.740
doesn't know how yeah yeah that's the biggest problem i think you point to something really
00:35:07.080
important here that i've seen really positive moves on which is the idea of cancellation prevents like
00:35:14.180
the sort of intellectual diversity you see with someone like andrew tate and jd vance has been the
00:35:18.820
biggest hero on this was big balls saying stuff you know racist against indians like within a year
00:35:24.980
right and and consider you know jd vance is married to an indian and has indian kids and jd vance was
00:35:30.120
like fuck off like rehired this guy like why why did you let him quit just because it came out that he
00:35:34.440
was a racist and i think that i remember that yeah that was based that was so base we need like as this
00:35:41.060
continues and i saw that as like a uh we had one of our fans reach out to us recently when they're like
00:35:46.360
actually like i had been like had trouble getting jobs in the corporate world for a long time and me
00:35:51.120
and my partner applied to jobs and like we were hired this year and like we were shocked and like
00:35:56.000
the the partner is working at like a university now and he's like like vulnerable young minds are
00:36:01.800
seeing his potentially conservative worldview and i think that that we're beginning to see a sea change
00:36:07.000
on this but we have to be really fastidious around like personally not allowing like cancellations
00:36:12.200
to prevent us from you know having people on and stuff like that i'm i'm not kind of surprised by
00:36:18.020
his his choice of of ladies because one thing that you kind of joke about all white supremacists don't
00:36:23.520
ask them the race of their girlfriends yeah yeah which is good because and people have asked me like
00:36:28.940
why is that a thing i said it was very simple because if you're the if you're the colonial empire
00:36:32.600
you colonize oh lord women no it's hold on this is the problem for black supremacists as well
00:36:38.700
go to the far left like look at any far lefty like racisty the politician like aoc or something like
00:36:46.240
that they all have white men yeah yeah well usually jewish white men too yes but like that's where the
00:36:52.340
power is and women are attracted to power like that's just like the one thing that annoys the crap
00:36:56.780
about modernity is there's so many things that is natural that we just ignore like yes there's there's
00:37:01.620
those that will go with the aryan princess and reproduce their children and then those are like
00:37:04.940
your genes are shit you must mate with better genes that's how they're wired people think that's like
00:37:09.380
a controversial thing to say but that is how they actually look at the world yeah whether you like
00:37:13.020
it or not you can say it's mimetic because it's it is funny but that's legitimately how they see things
00:37:17.360
we've we've created fucking insane ideas of what a racist is people will be like if you recognize
00:37:23.720
that there may be any sort of a difference between populations that have been genetically separated
00:37:30.400
for potentially thousands of years that makes you a racist and therefore a lot of people who are
00:37:37.200
quote-unquote like johnny anomaly who we really like you know he's married to like a south american
00:37:41.620
woman or or you know jd vance is married to an india these people don't have fucking problems with
00:37:46.580
different races like that's not the thing they're reading with them that's that's kind of a good
00:37:50.800
indication they're not yeah i thought there was the one thing where where the the left got mad at this
00:37:56.020
guy who had like black kids and like called him racist and he's like what are you talking about
00:38:00.520
yeah that's happened quite a few times that is a very common i will say i can kill the accusation
00:38:06.580
of racism and like a civilizational state in two paragraphs and just with like two questions the one
00:38:13.020
that i always like to go to is how is segregation and nation-state borders not the same thing if not scale
00:38:18.640
segregation and nation-state borders yeah i i guess i don't understand what do you mean by this
00:38:27.600
like yeah explain this in more detail i don't get it well let's see if you're segregating you're
00:38:32.460
suggesting that only a certain amount of people should enter a given territory the nation-state is
00:38:36.960
exactly the same thing it's just the the legal bounds to enter is different oh i see oh but i don't
00:38:42.920
know like i i always thought segregation was about only allowing a certain criteria people certain
00:38:48.100
criteria yes yes yeah exactly but it's still the use of force like you're born with your national
00:38:53.920
identity because of where you happen to be born it's complete chance simone yeah yes and it's
00:38:59.320
complete chance what like ethnic group you're born into okay that's okay that makes sense but you are
00:39:04.400
still prohibiting the entry into a certain territory through the use of force yeah which is what you do
00:39:09.580
in segregation as well and as far as that is concerned i would just say to say that to anybody because i know
00:39:15.140
i've noticed leftism loves blood and soil when it's native population except when it's europeans
00:39:19.320
then everyone else must be allowed to enter european territory it's funny how that one works yeah there's
00:39:23.000
no indigenous people's day in the united kingdom no no hold on hold on it's europeans or where they
00:39:28.800
really hate it if it's blood and soil jews i'm like one population in this world where they were
00:39:35.420
displaced by an imperial group they then took back their native land and are fighting to defend it
00:39:42.440
and you guys want them erased but i i would say say that i conquered a territory like any tribe or
00:39:50.740
whatever and somebody comes to me not of that tribe and says give me access to your land your people
00:39:58.220
your capital and its markets or else i will call you insert label x why should i listen to that person
00:40:04.640
and capitulate to their demands and grant them everything that's a a great point yeah no because it is
00:40:12.080
a lot of a capitulation and i think that the way this works within leftism is the intuitive belief
00:40:20.680
in the superiority of their culture by this what i mean is leftists believe they're like oh yes well
00:40:27.300
like these muslims may come to our country today and say that they want you know gay people should be
00:40:32.320
illegal and everything like that but eventually our cultural values will erase their own and what we have
00:40:38.340
seen is this belief in their superiority is as delusional as anything else they believe
00:40:45.880
anything else they believe but also you know a lot of the historic racists you know it's one of the
00:40:52.180
things i always joke is is you know you'll see in in certain populations where they'll be like oh
00:40:58.480
this is where you get like delusional racism when you start claiming like every historical figure was
00:41:02.640
actually part of your ethnic group like oh yeah the greeks were actually northern europeans
00:41:08.300
yeah i do like that it always makes me laugh because they also claim my history is evil
00:41:13.700
but you're also like one white people yes and it's like i so want to make fun of you all the day long
00:41:22.020
because there's just no consistency at all it's good stuff all right all right well i've had oh yeah
00:41:29.460
any path through this any path through this that you see for yourself uh you mentioned elevating
00:41:34.360
people like tate but like how do you how do you make this this cool ballerina farms is that it
00:41:40.540
oh dear god no i i would say it's one thing i don't like about like the christian worldview
00:41:47.260
is it's very specifically the protestant wing is it's very focused on forgiveness because that whole
00:41:54.560
like equality doctrine is very based on a sort of perverted christian perception of almost like the
00:42:01.580
white man's burden in a sense and i that just ignores all of reality i've heard a lot of people
00:42:07.660
just say oh look like it's our job to like civilize the world i'm like okay well you do realize
00:42:11.400
that okay that's kind of imperial which is kind of based i'm not gonna lie but you you also you also
00:42:19.160
want to tell people they should behave like you but you don't have any reason other than you're
00:42:24.460
telling them this is how they should behave and that's not how human beings work people don't like
00:42:27.780
it when other people tell them how to behave with no reason other than i told you so yeah when there's
00:42:32.040
no hold on they give them lots of money look at usa that's what it was all about yeah and considering
00:42:38.340
usa was given to my country and it hasn't made a dent in making people say and i'm not really a believer
00:42:42.960
in that money theory exactly though yeah so yeah it tends it what was it someone said recently
00:42:48.560
international aid is taking money from poor people in rich countries and giving it to rich people in
00:42:53.960
poor or giving it to rich people in poor countries that is so freaking accurate oh my gosh oh yeah
00:43:01.540
i actually had a conversation with a girl earlier today and she seemed to be more lefty-leaning i found
00:43:07.160
her like in a very right-wing so like you're an unusual person in a very right-wing place i i she
00:43:12.580
she's not stupid definitely not but she's she hasn't really examined her perceptions of the
00:43:17.540
world she was very adamant and researching to how she sees the world but i tried to tell her
00:43:22.180
this is a nice ideal but you have to look at the world for what it is not how you wish it to be
00:43:28.420
especially when it comes to people and that is something that i've noticed a lot of particularly
00:43:33.460
american right-wingers cling to with like immense fervor especially when it comes to the constitution
00:43:40.420
and there's a really good clip by you know judge andrew napolitano the name's familiar but we know
00:43:45.880
you guys should check him out so he had on lionel mation both sort of you know legal experts and he
00:43:52.100
lionel asked him is the the u.s constitution still valid and he gives a very interesting answer he says
00:43:57.580
it depends on how you look at it formally and functionally oh my gosh yeah he says formally it
00:44:03.040
still establishes you know three branches of government that is the law of the land you know
00:44:06.980
three branches of government the separation of powers yada yada but he says functionally it has
00:44:11.740
been an abysmal abysmal failure it has failed to restrain powers it has failed to balance like the
00:44:19.840
checks and balances don't work congress just passes whatever the hell they want they tax something and
00:44:24.260
he said the best way to sort of rewrite the ship is to appoint governments or appoint judges that will
00:44:31.020
chain the government down and at the end lionel says so the problem is isn't the constitution but
00:44:36.580
the constitution still works the problem is that isn't being followed and i thought it's kind of
00:44:41.980
weird to me that you suggest the way to fix this is to apply the constitution but also people don't
00:44:47.980
listen to it like that makes no sense to me people aren't listening to it now why would they listen to
00:44:53.200
it then right yes so i just like okay so you are admitting the document has failed because michael malice had a
00:44:59.500
good court he said if you think anyone in government now is going to listen to the whims of dead men from
00:45:03.900
250 years ago that is more utopian than communism like damn malice has a way of just like cutting
00:45:10.280
through the grain and just like hurting your soul like that's good that is very accurate and i've
00:45:15.280
noticed some of the americans that i've spoken to that i can sort of break free from this sort of spell
00:45:21.320
of constitutionalism is my god they start hating their own countrymen because they once they realize that oh
00:45:29.040
oh i can't unsee this and they come to me and go i can't speak to anybody else about this because
00:45:34.160
they all look at me like i'm insane like yeah if you can tell me how you fix that please tell me
00:45:38.560
because i don't know how to i don't know how to answer that question because i also look at these
00:45:42.460
people and go i'm gonna get hated for exposing the truth and then like the few that agree with me
00:45:47.060
going like yeah welcome to the club thanks for ruining us like i'm sorry about that not much i can do
00:45:52.040
that oh yeah not a nice perspective to tell people horrible truths about reality as both people
00:45:59.280
especially when it's i don't know like i think if you told that to young people who were just learning
00:46:04.400
about the formation of the united states they'd be like oh yeah this was it was always early draft
00:46:11.780
mode this was not no do you know what's really interesting about that now you mentioned that
00:46:15.420
because aiden is also american she's a monarchist and we were looking at perceptions of monarchy
00:46:20.220
across the demographics and it's really weird when you look at them across the united states and the
00:46:24.720
uk oh in the in the uk the younger people hate the monarchy but the older people have reverence for
00:46:30.620
which is understandable i mean they grew up in the elizabethan era so that's yeah whereas in the us
00:46:35.440
up to like 25 percent of gen z favor monarchy that makes sense really yeah that makes sense yes
00:46:42.980
like they there's like and it's the reverse for the older age obviously it's like the older people
00:46:47.820
like abhor monarchy because well you know they're older they're boomers whereas the younger generation
00:46:51.780
sort of look at the current i think it's because they just look at like their chances of actually
00:46:55.400
getting like a house is basically impossible for them so they look at well smaller government i i
00:47:01.580
i see the people like this this is the pitch i always tell americans do it and they always think
00:47:05.600
like huh i say to them think of trump if you gave trump complete control of the government
00:47:11.800
okay but say 90 of government is removed how much damage could he actually do when most of the
00:47:20.320
bureaucracy is gone and there's no taxes to pay for the shit yeah and they go huh i get to pay
00:47:25.740
significantly less tax and i can see the one person doing everything they're like that doesn't sound
00:47:31.260
so bad like yeah i can maybe get on board with that because the moment you appeal to their pocketbook
00:47:35.720
and like there's one person but they can't do much because the bureaucracy is gone yeah suddenly they
00:47:40.600
look at it like oh now my materialism is i pay less tax well it's kind of been like this since
00:47:45.100
the beginning too i mean even after we voted in our first president there was this huge struggle to
00:47:49.520
you know not have him you know your ancestors you're you're come on man just just just be the king can't
00:47:57.020
you just talk i've heard some people just say that you're like oh just washington why didn't you
00:48:02.060
just take the crown we can be done with this they were so ready for it they were like okay by the way
00:48:07.160
you are the descendant of one of george washington's siblings and yeah he's a great great great great
00:48:11.860
who would be of the monarchy family right now if it existed i would be in america dynasty yes or
00:48:19.080
duchess or something i would have married into a oh see yeah oh well what a what a jack ass he was
00:48:25.700
for not accepting it yeah it is it is really curious to me that there was 12 years when they had the
00:48:32.500
article of confederation and that's been totally airbrushed out of history right and nobody knows
00:48:37.940
much about america's first government like if you ask americans who was the first king they'd all say
00:48:41.300
oh george washington like no that wasn't the first king or the first the first president yeah it was
00:48:47.220
i can't remember his name now it was i think it was don't yeah it was that's because it's airbrushed
00:48:53.340
out of history like you've literally been brainwashed to not know this yeah and it was the president of
00:48:59.200
congress yeah i think he was the first one that was appointed and i think there was problem with
00:49:05.360
with with currency regulation was like one of the biggest ones about they just realized that okay this
00:49:09.880
this doesn't actually work there's too many com competitions around and you need the central figure
00:49:16.540
i remember them saying like yeah like oh but if we give birth to an executive this is going to be
00:49:21.120
like the fertile grounds of monarchy like oh yeah if only we can hope because you need the central
00:49:26.400
you need the sovereign you need the one person when everyone is fighting i remember i spoke to
00:49:31.060
this one girl and she's like very quite lefty leaning and she was in favor of co-ops and one day
00:49:36.860
she came to me and she said i'm kind of reconsidering your position and i said why is that and she said to me
00:49:42.800
well we have a bunch of people but they're all fighting like we just need one person to tell everyone
00:49:47.880
to shut up and what to do like yeah i wonder why that is yeah daddy needs to stand up and just be like
00:49:53.400
shut up we're doing this now like the amount of people who look at trump as like a father figure
00:49:58.660
when they're just like the meme was like oh look daddy's home and now you all have to behave like
00:50:03.940
do you realize all of you look at trump like he is a monarchical figure you look at him like the great
00:50:10.600
man and it's very different in the way milo used to call him daddy yes but it's it is curious to me that
00:50:18.440
if you ask most americans who's your local representative they have no idea yeah but if
00:50:24.320
you ask him who's in the white house everyone knows because the perception even with americans
00:50:29.060
is that that guy is actually in charge and he's the one that can like do anything through executive
00:50:33.880
orders and there's a service and he can but the the problem with that is is that congress is like
00:50:39.700
congress is a long-term fix for short-term problems and executive orders is supposed to be a long-term
00:50:47.120
fix for like really short-term gain yeah and that's you need to that needs to be in reverse but to get
00:50:54.040
people in congress to do things in the long term especially when they're there for yes yeah because
00:50:58.880
they're not interested in governing the nation through long terms because there's no benefit to
00:51:03.420
them when they leave office like they're there for short-term stints to basically loot the place and
00:51:08.440
then get the hell out exactly people you have to think of voting as garbage collection day
00:51:14.940
as in while they're in office they can pile on as much corruption as humanly possible and the
00:51:19.880
little speech is like oh look we can just short-term and the garbage goes out disappears supposedly but
00:51:25.620
it goes into a landfill and then just the whole process starts all over again and this this this
00:51:29.900
little button reset button that basically stops you from killing politicians there's no physical
00:51:34.020
repercussions like you don't hold the politicians to account ever and that's how the bureaucracy goes
00:51:39.260
i'm like do you realize voting benefits the elites more than it benefits you you get the veneer of
00:51:45.180
being in control while somebody else props them on the ballot and which is what they're beholden to
00:51:48.360
and you don't actually your process is just like yay or nay and that's really it yeah well and i mean not
00:51:54.080
not to mention even that in the united states it was never supposed to be direct as it is now
00:51:59.320
that this thing was a huge mistake your founding fathers were violently opposed to democracy for
00:52:04.500
of these reasons they were they were yeah for very good reasons i mean first they were like
00:52:08.000
hamilton is like crazy when it comes to democracy like jeez hamilton yeah no it's we like him he's a
00:52:13.640
he's i remember bolbach said like he was america's first monarch because he's the one who really
00:52:17.900
run the treasury and ran it like a proper executive like washington is the face but like the brains of
00:52:23.680
the operations like hamilton is really running the show oh interesting yeah the original elon
00:52:29.660
the original yeah yeah sort of in a sense and and but you know all of these people have kind of
00:52:34.740
shady ass backgrounds especially like especially when it comes to sex like my god like blackmail
00:52:39.940
in the government i imagine i think it was someone had said like the way that china's bureaucracy gets
00:52:45.660
any rank is they need to do some shady shit to like advance which is why they're all like ruthlessly
00:52:50.300
they have dirt on each other yeah so basically the reason why it's all like militantly organized is
00:52:55.060
because they can't step out of bounds because they know they'll get screwed if they try where we
00:53:00.220
explore how you know pdf files ever became like this is one of the crazy things when we talk about
00:53:06.280
like conspiracies in the u.s there was a conspiracy that there was a cabal of pda files who controlled
00:53:14.740
reins of power within our country or had a great deal of power within our country and then we found out
00:53:19.220
that was real with epstein and now everyone is like well we got rid of epstein so it must be gone
00:53:25.820
now like that's a done thing yeah that's that's sort of like oh look we can just depose the head
00:53:31.220
of the mob and like no he's got like capos and a whole bunch of henchmen underneath him like the way
00:53:36.040
to topple the hierarchy is to start from the freaking bottom until he's alone it's it's not by just
00:53:41.040
capping off the head of the hydra because then the hydra grows another head so what someone on my podcast
00:53:45.600
suggested something interesting they said that the reason they're not releasing epstein files is
00:53:49.120
because the people in government trump can use them to leverage them and get what he wants
00:53:53.300
oh that's a fun take i don't think trump's doing that i just figured he was based enough to actually
00:53:59.000
do that but i don't think it's within him to be that kind of cutthroat yeah honestly he's a nice
00:54:03.360
person like he doesn't he he wants to he doesn't want people to hurt or suffer he that's that's one
00:54:09.760
thing that's his kind of detriment is that i think trump is actually too nice too i don't think he is
00:54:15.320
this like ruthless cut road asshole that everyone thinks like i've something i thought was very
00:54:20.080
interesting is i've seen like the left try to mean trump and they always make him sound way more
00:54:25.680
dangerously based than he actually is i'm like can you just give me the trump that the leftists think
00:54:30.540
he is it would be fantastic it should be more but i said to a friend of mine there is a there is a reason
00:54:37.380
why they're like that why they look at him as this great evil it's because it triggers a response
00:54:43.020
mechanism if he is not this horrible evil person then it induces complacency
00:54:47.480
they need to him to be this radical figure because if they realize oh my god he's not actually gonna
00:54:54.200
like take away my right to kill my own child and this kind of crazy shit he's just like a regular
00:54:58.600
the 1990s american democratic dude because if they realize that then they might not radicalize and
00:55:05.140
they might actually become right-wing and therefore that would thin their ranks
00:55:08.400
so there's functionality in their absurdity 100 all right all right well we can't have the episode
00:55:16.880
go on forever so we gotta stop we will let you go also it's so late so thank you so much for coming
00:55:21.040
on it's actually only 7 30 here that's you don't understand that's like when we're asleep
00:55:26.460
oh do you are you like really early bird rises yeah we are i try to wake up at around two every day
00:55:32.480
yeah so how do you how do you function wait are you in the uk right now yes how you are in the uk
00:55:41.040
yes yes i mean yeah i'm in greenish i am i i am are you thinking about a movie like most of the
00:55:48.660
people i know in the uk are looking at getting out at this point well my family wants to go back to
00:55:53.100
south africa and that's probably not fun no well they said to me like do you want to go home and i
00:55:59.540
looked at them like well i don't have any other family here and if i go back home they said to me
00:56:05.340
well you can stay like here close to us because basically my my aunt and uncle are rather well off
00:56:10.540
and they have like a guest house and they said well you can stay there and i saw the guest house
00:56:14.800
because i hadn't it's kind of weird the last time they showed it it was like 2010 google and it wasn't
00:56:20.540
completed yet it's still in process mode and i saw it recently because it got updated we're like
00:56:25.460
that's where you want me to stay and it's like a stone's away from a beach oh and probably like
00:56:30.480
more safer area when i i don't actually oppose this look you can back up generators in the uk right
00:56:37.280
now like one of the lotus eaters right they got pulled over by like the passport control or
00:56:41.080
something right yeah calendared for terrorist activities which is like oh good heavens
00:56:47.360
were you an ark by the way not as far as i'm aware no okay there's a recent conference they
00:56:56.120
had there that a lot of the lotus eaters guys were at but anyway yeah so they i was so afraid of being
00:57:00.120
like passport pulled over like i'm like the uk is getting scary man yeah i would rather be in
00:57:05.580
africa than the uk that's saving a lot that's that's okay i don't know if you heard but trump's
00:57:12.820
administration is like letting people in for visas from south africa as like i will i will say because
00:57:19.920
i i sort of see a lot of crazy shit in south africa from like my twitter feed and a lot of it involves
00:57:26.240
julius malema and to the people who have this perspective can i just say this julius malema in
00:57:32.220
south africa's politics is like aoc to you oh he has no institutional power okay and he never will
00:57:38.560
he's he's the crazy person that says insane shit to be relevant to be fair like our only experience
00:57:45.420
of south africa was like just going through the townships outside of johannesburg so we probably
00:57:50.240
don't have oh okay okay yeah so you saw like the roughest of it yeah yeah yeah like my shit let's
00:57:56.740
go yeah yeah there's a thing of like basically the whiter the air the safer it is which is reality
00:58:03.280
yeah no no like what we use to just what when we try to explain to people how demographic collapse
00:58:08.760
is going to play out we're like just look at south africa like yes they're they're they're going
00:58:12.880
to be walled gardens that are incredibly nice and that's where all the wealthy people with resources
00:58:17.300
are going to go and then there's going to be the townships and that's where everyone who is not
00:58:21.800
wealthy and resource is going to be you're going to have brownouts you're going to have blackouts
00:58:25.000
you're going to have crime you're going to have grapes and that's what it's going to be i will say
00:58:28.900
it's it's it's so that it's kind of a weird place because we essentially have three capital cities
00:58:33.640
which is quite strange that like have uh as far as i'm aware like keep in mind i left south africa
00:58:39.340
as a child when i was about just on the verge of 11 years old okay so like my if i were to go home now
00:58:48.140
and describe politics like it's very difficult for me and we also have a rule don't discuss politics
00:58:52.860
with people who are not south african because they don't understand the reality of demographics and like
00:58:58.080
like everything is like what what do you think like an actual south african thing is like yeah
00:59:02.000
all of that and way more based than any americans that's what we gathered when we were there we're
00:59:07.800
like okay yeah things in south africa is it a lot of people are like oh it's like white people versus
00:59:12.960
black people and it's like that's not really the way south africa is each other and the tribes will
00:59:18.600
fuck each other even before they care about if you get one one tribe elected to power like okay let's
00:59:24.240
loot from all the other tribes yeah that's that's it's like how any civilization works so africa is
00:59:29.860
not unique it's just unique in our timeline but if you look at it from like historical perspective
00:59:34.880
like if i tell people this if you look at how south africa's demographics came about
00:59:39.800
the south africans the africaners who are native of that land they've been there since 1652
00:59:45.680
it predates the american state wow i didn't realize it was 1600s that is yes it's really really old
00:59:53.380
to put that in context you know how now we're all oh my gosh i can't believe the jews would
00:59:59.340
displace the historic muslims who lived in israel well israel only became the place we call israel
01:00:06.120
today muslim majority in the 12th century so not that much earlier than this group moved to africa
01:00:13.560
we do have to this is long at this point so i'm sorry i'm sorry it's but it's so fun talking with
01:00:19.740
the spoon thank you so much for coming on great how did you guys actually discover my channel
01:00:24.620
i watched aiden's channel first i i then watched some of your content with her i then watched some
01:00:30.360
of your content okay i'm gonna say i'll go for me oh my goodness yeah youtube is actually quite nice
01:00:35.740
to me which is bizarre because i've been told like you say a lot of spicy things but youtube tends to
01:00:39.840
recommend me for some i think it just it just assumes you know it hears your it you know it must it must
01:00:44.500
process your accent and be like oh yes i noticed you notice that youtube has started suppressing i
01:00:50.340
we recently did in an episode and there were two lowest episodes and i think youtube is suppressing
01:00:54.540
both topics yeah you might want to rephrase it yeah okay i won't say anti i'd say an issue related
01:01:03.240
to the gender people contemplating the rainbow hippies yes the rainbow hippies yeah actually i i have a
01:01:11.360
question for you because it's pretty interesting when i look at you you are really much in like
01:01:16.860
the social circle of i think like the old youtube conservative group or or like like questioning woke
01:01:25.040
group do you know when we talk about things like aporia or johnny anomaly or commute you know who any of
01:01:30.920
these people are yeah some of the names do do surface okay so you do know you're on you're on x way more
01:01:36.900
than we are i think uh yeah i i'm mainly i'm gonna use x the shit post i've i've i've had some people
01:01:43.960
like come to me especially women and say to me like you're very aggressive with how you are with women
01:01:49.580
and my immediate response is have you seen my content like yes i i am very much against like any
01:01:57.000
people voting and i don't think women should have a say in politics i'm very vocal about that i will
01:02:00.660
openly say that i don't care who gets offended the thing of it is that i find very fascinating about that
01:02:04.860
is the women who are traditional are more traditional than the men oh yeah people don't
01:02:12.900
know this but during suffrage in the united states the primary anti-suffrage group was women yeah dude
01:02:20.080
yeah yeah and i i said to them as well like if you look at my audience and my timeline i always tell
01:02:28.100
people what irks me it's not just like i hate women today and then just like ramble like no no i will
01:02:33.620
give you an example of this thing that is currently pissing me off and when it comes to like women it
01:02:37.480
was probably a woman who dm to me in the first place right because they come to me and go spoon
01:02:41.940
look at the stupid shit that my sex is doing yell at them yeah they're they're the police they're the
01:02:47.860
yeah yeah because i i tell guys i tell guys this like be the guy that can openly talk about women in
01:02:55.480
like in a bashfully well in modern day sexist kind of ways because women cannot talk about other
01:03:01.640
women to women because it just escalates into a fight so they will go to a guy and say this is
01:03:07.160
this stupid shit my sex is doing i know this annoys you as well it's one of the one of the few times
01:03:10.760
because i know women has this tendency of don't actually solve my problem just listen oh no no yeah
01:03:17.140
but there's a bigger problem of like the guys who are feminists are always the worst guys to women
01:03:23.220
recently you know like ubisoft that put out like you know this one where they they have the johnny
01:03:29.500
somalia simulator where you go around as a black guy and kill a random phrase by the way
01:03:33.620
you know great i heard that as soon as i heard johnny somali simulator i was like that's brilliant
01:03:38.780
actually that's what this game is but anyway so they're now in a lawsuit in france and the things
01:03:45.040
that their executives were doing to employees are horrifying yeah play porn so loud everyone in the
01:03:52.560
office could hear it and he made a woman do a handstand so he could see her skirt in front of the
01:03:57.720
entire office and then at another time he had other employees hold down a woman so we could kiss
01:04:03.320
her at a party like when somebody's doing feminist shit this is the shit they're doing behind closed
01:04:08.800
doors that sounds about right yeah well malcolm you found the solution you you you didn't marry a woman
01:04:14.160
you married an autist and that is the only safe way yeah but the the point i was trying to make is that
01:04:19.980
this is one of the few times where you can actually listen to a woman explain her problems because the
01:04:24.080
issue that is is not one that can be solved the issue is just like her own annoyance at her own sex
01:04:28.140
yeah so that's one of the things that you can listen to and like sympathize with because i can
01:04:32.480
guarantee you what annoys her also annoys you and you'll become friends because the one thing is mutual
01:04:36.940
hatred yeah and there's nothing nothing that can be done about it so yes there's no solution that
01:04:42.100
you're like dying to present yes but they just want you to say can like can just that must be so
01:04:48.000
frustrating i'm so sorry tell me more how did that make you feel yeah yes i have i have one female
01:04:54.400
friend when she streams with other streamers like when they're women she just like messaged me like
01:04:58.500
oh my god these women are annoying the crap out of me and then she comes and streams with me
01:05:01.800
streaming is a woman right yes i know and i also have another girl that i stream with on rumble
01:05:08.260
vex electronica it's a bit of a different stream with aiden because aiden is very prim and proper and she
01:05:13.540
like organizes everything ruthlessly and vex just messaged me and goes i'm annoyed let's stream
01:05:17.940
and then we just make five hours disappear with no prep at all yeah so it's just like a rambling
01:05:23.280
and we yes yeah because we get to say gamer words and just like this is the dumb shit that is currently
01:05:27.180
wrong with the world especially culturally because we are there's a lot of sort of like cultural anti-woke
01:05:32.060
people that we don't like because they're they're just liberals yeah they're just disgruntled with
01:05:37.100
liberals that went too far in the slippery slope and they don't know how to pull it back other than
01:05:40.140
just yelling interesting but i'm trying to do a better job like myself because earlier asking like how
01:05:44.920
we found you if connecting with other conservative streamers one of the things we've been looking at
01:05:49.520
doing forever we've talked with the heritage foundation about doing this when we get together
01:05:52.540
we should talk about putting the first steps into the simone is putting together a conference to
01:05:57.320
connect conservative influencers with conservative policymakers yeah yes i think the problem though is
01:06:03.260
is again dispoons repeated references what would ever incentivize a conservative lawmaker
01:06:10.120
to do anything it isn't in their immediate best finance the heritage foundation are good guys who
01:06:15.620
want to make the world a better place the heritage yeah heritage but they are not themselves the
01:06:19.060
policymakers they have to find ways to connect the short-term and often financial incentives of
01:06:24.280
the policymakers the policy long-term best interest affect elections the democrats have been using the
01:06:30.480
influencer class to affect elections for ages without any reciprocation at the very least we can try to
01:06:37.240
create some reciprocation where the influencers can affect policy yeah i i would say the sort the sort
01:06:43.840
of the real problem with appealing to a right-wing base is that is it's it's very cruel like right-wing
01:06:53.040
politics like left-wing politics is very fairytale and idealistic and that's why it appeals to women
01:06:57.140
whereas the right-wing sort of chad aggressiveness really appeals to men but like that worldview is very
01:07:05.180
difficult to sell to men right now because it is more than just materialism i'm gonna disagree here
01:07:10.240
every right-wing conference and you know i go to a lot of right-wing events and one of the funny
01:07:14.360
things is whenever i meet somebody who used to go to left-wing events and now they go to right-wing
01:07:17.900
conferences and they're like oh my god everyone is so nice and accepting at right-wing yes that's true
01:07:21.880
and everyone at the left-wing conferences was so judgy and hateful i didn't know there's a spectrum
01:07:27.580
so the the old guard conservative right-wing conferences feels very clicky and very like
01:07:33.940
yes not quite right um and then the like farthest farthest farthest left american ones are like
01:07:41.080
hey come here i need to tell you my conspiracy theory i i'm a sovereign citizen and here's how
01:07:45.440
it works and you should never pay your taxes i'm like these aren't the lefty right-wing conferences
01:07:49.220
these are the more right-wing the more right-wing it is like the more open it is yeah the more
01:07:53.640
welcoming it is yeah yeah and it's so funny these people i'm talking about who are like lefties
01:07:57.260
i don't mean like normal lefties i mean like obvious trans people they'll be like oh yeah
01:08:01.660
the right-wing conferences have been so much nicer than the left-wing yeah but they they i think yeah
01:08:06.120
i think they enjoy hanging out at the the right there was a there was a point that i saw someone say
01:08:11.040
that it was interesting they said like the right wing is full of gay is straight people they're
01:08:16.580
actually gay whereas the left-wing people are all straight people pretending to be gay it's funny
01:08:23.040
that is so freaking accurate like holy shit i know so many people who fit this paradigm like
01:08:28.120
it's not even funny copulation that's a strategy in animals where you pretend to be the other gender
01:08:32.800
to force but it disturbs me like why is that a thing with the right because i've noticed there's a lot
01:08:38.900
of like there is there is sexual degeneracy in the right wing it's like when i look at some of the
01:08:44.600
people because i know some of them behind the scenes no it's only degeneracy because it's on the
01:08:47.940
right wing it would just be normalcy if it were on the left wing yeah ooh okay i never grew up on
01:08:55.300
the hard left so i know this so so i recently was at a heritage foundation conference and this was on
01:09:00.380
like gender being realistic about gender issues and it was so funny the conference was like i'd say
01:09:07.860
25 lesbians and people at this is the heritage foundation and lesbians at the conference
01:09:15.340
joked that this was the main lesbian dating event of the year because it was the only place they
01:09:22.840
could go where it was still all real women oh no can i read something interesting this is a
01:09:29.140
i actually because a while ago grok 3 came out on twitter it's so good it's amazing yes and yet it
01:09:36.260
said it had some better views so i threw it a curveball i said to them can you give a cultural
01:09:40.960
critique that you would employ to persuade women to give up the right to vote okay and its answer
01:09:48.000
was really really good okay it said it said okay let's dive into this with a thought experiment i'm
01:09:54.800
assuming you're looking for provocative cultural critique and not literal policy proposal i'll
01:09:59.760
channel a mix of historical perspective social theory and a dash of contrarian flair to craft an
01:10:04.060
argument sounds like me actually here's how it might go imagine a cultural critique rooted in the
01:10:09.500
idea of modern democracy with its obsession and over individual rights has eroded something deeper
01:10:15.360
communal harmony and natural division of labor that once held societies together you could argue that
01:10:21.060
voting as a symbol of atomized power pulls women away from a more primal influential role the stewards
01:10:27.520
of family and culture the pitch might lean on a romanticized pass think pre-industrial tribes or even
01:10:33.600
victorian ideals where women's authority wasn't diluted by a ballot box but concentrated in the home
01:10:39.560
shaping the next generation's values directly the critique would borrow from thinkers like rousseau who
01:10:44.920
saw excessive individualism as a societal rot and twisted women's suffrage while solace empowerment
01:10:50.660
actually traps them in a masculine game of power struggles and abstract debates disconnecting them from
01:10:57.100
their supposed true strength nurturing intuition and moral grounding at a modern swipe the chaos
01:11:02.760
expose and 24 7 news cycles shows how voting fuels division not unity and women as the civilizing force
01:11:09.480
might reclaim their influence by rejecting the circus altogether to persuade you'd frame it as liberation not
01:11:16.580
loss ditching the vote isn't subjugation but a bold opt-out from a broken system a return to a sphere
01:11:22.900
where influence isn't diluted by partisan noise it's a hard sell obviously but i would lean heavily on
01:11:28.920
nostalgia and gender essentialism which plenty would call out as bunk but that is the cultural angle
01:11:34.020
dialed up to 11. okay i love it no no no no it's it's there that's it i mean between the four b's
01:11:41.400
movement and trad wives and stay-at-home girlfriends this is very much something that appeals to all ends of
01:11:48.020
the political spectrum but hold on i want to read something that was posted in our discord in relation
01:11:53.860
to this topic that i found really compelling and i'm just doing the discord by the way because modern
01:11:58.740
feminism is a movement that serves the male sexual imperative it tells women that we should accept a
01:12:04.620
man fornicating with us with no commitment if we say no he will go watch porn of women being beaten
01:12:10.800
and trafficked and demeaned if we say yes he will demand that we mess up our body and hormone cycle
01:12:16.620
with a pill if the pill doesn't work he won't support us and authority figures will encourage an abortion
01:12:22.760
no wonder so many women are rabidly abortionists when the alternative is grim for them which will
01:12:28.080
traumatize you if we date he will eventually have you move in and perform domestic labor while having
01:12:34.180
you pay rent and not giving you the benefits of marriage and if you marry you will bear children
01:12:39.640
while working full-time and doing most of the housework basically the feminist movements are
01:12:44.940
huge simps for chad and then wind up unhappy and miserable if they have children at all
01:12:50.160
i mean i don't agree with all that but that's compelling i don't think any of that is true
01:12:56.700
you don't know about feminists oh okay it's okay whenever i hear feminist in the word marriage it's
01:13:05.140
it doesn't make any sense to me it's like beer and ice and i'm going to get it i am a feminist right
01:13:11.360
and and because i'm a feminist while my wife does the housework she also makes the family's money
01:13:17.860
it's empowering it's empowering i'm a feminist yes right but like they they i kind of want to say
01:13:27.340
to them like what do you to those women what do they think their role in society actually is because
01:13:31.980
a friend of mine said something horribly said to me like women's only value is basically sex if
01:13:36.280
you strip that away like everything else can be done better by men well making babies it's not sex
01:13:41.900
it's it's childbearing yes but that is directly related to sex i mean i'm not necessarily there
01:13:48.960
are ways i would say but that but that is that is their role in basically human civilization is to
01:13:55.800
reproduce nice offspring yeah no no we we are the we are the agar we are the stable substrate of
01:14:01.500
civilization and men are the high risk high reward disposable propagators of good software updates
01:14:08.360
yeah thank you for causing us disposable that's very kind of you welcome yeah yeah thank you yeah
01:14:13.660
i called me a stable agar all right it's it's fine but there's there's utility and stability so that's
01:14:19.360
kind of thing where it's like there's utility in pushing a software update okay it's just that only
01:14:23.260
the good software updates get pushed i wouldn't i would say it's only compatible hardware that can
01:14:28.540
receive the good software that's kind of my comeback shot you really don't need to write your
01:14:37.160
stuff man it's it's there this is this is a good intro okay anyway i have i have used that argument
01:14:44.780
for a lot of the things that i think is i think it's because book writes like everything is a computer
01:14:50.200
program and because i'm a guy and i also have this like input process output function whenever i
01:14:55.860
analyze things i kind of like that so i said to people the way that the globalists look at human
01:15:01.760
beings they look at them like they're pieces of software that just or a hardware that can be
01:15:05.600
updated i'm like sure that's not how humans work they're not just hey look here's just a hardware
01:15:10.860
that can be updated like if you ever work with an actual computer you can't just upload any software
01:15:14.440
to the hardware especially if it's old this is true with a computer you can throw it away you can
01:15:18.060
upgrade the hardware but not all hardware upgrades are compatible and that's where you're running
01:15:23.040
the freaking problems like hey look we're gonna make it like a freaking pentium 2 run windows 11
01:15:27.400
like no you're not that's that's not gonna work so good luck with that i actually wrote a bit about
01:15:35.380
free speech using that and i'm curious how it's gonna go because i i said a horrible thing with
01:15:41.960
regards to free speech that is gonna make free speech has explode i tried to frame it as an argument
01:15:46.640
that free speech is not just like speech it's actually like a consumable oh yeah that's interesting
01:15:55.120
that's fair yes in the sense of in the real world if you look at something like drugs and alcohol that
01:16:00.420
is regulated because it can alter behavior yeah sure and i said speech has the same effect it can also
01:16:07.160
radically alter people's behavior and make them believe insane things like trans people are real which is
01:16:12.060
not fucking true and the other argument that i have is that speech is not information in isolation
01:16:19.620
it needs a base where those ideas will actually gel and the argument from free speech absolutist is that
01:16:28.400
the way to beat bad speech is more speech and i fundamentally disagree with that because it's not true
01:16:36.760
in fact the way that i characterized it and i will i will basically power through this because i think
01:16:42.680
this is probably the smartest thing that i've ever said is that the idea that the best way to
01:16:48.760
compare bad speech is with better speech is like saying the antidote to fat people is better food
01:16:52.640
you have to understand why they eat the bad food it's not better food doesn't exist it is that they
01:17:00.880
want the bad food because it makes them feel better it is not an issue being factually correct it
01:17:06.660
is about an emotional appeal that makes sense yeah that is a difficult thing to sell to people that
01:17:14.180
is like hey look you can have like on the one end you can have broccoli and steak or whatever and
01:17:18.180
that's really good but other than that is pizza and pizza is a hell of a lot better than the former
01:17:21.700
unless you're me who eats it every damn day pizza literally every single day oh what are we having
01:17:31.020
it has all the food groups i've got a surprise for you actually tonight let's just say it has
01:17:36.840
something to do with my dubious heritage your devious is it my dubious heritage yeah no jewish
01:17:42.900
you'll find out uh don't look all right all right we'll see it's good to have you on and have a
01:17:49.580
spectacular day yes this was a pleasure you are so clever so fun and everyone definitely make sure
01:17:56.140
what are you doing okay sorry okay bye bye bye i'm hitting in recording i'm hitting record now and
01:18:05.180
we can throw this at the end but yeah i know i'm sorry i have to talk what what are they thinking like
01:18:09.800
why intentionally be an asshole when you're trying to get support we were talking about the ddos attack
01:18:15.460
by ukraine on on x well allegedly you know still not confirmed oh yeah the left is pretending like
01:18:21.980
that's that's what elon musk said is is it appears to be ukraine related so yeah no he's got some good
01:18:29.820
social capital to believe i suppose i imagine his information sources are pretty good so yes
01:18:36.120
considering he is working with this the state so yeah yeah and elon musk allegedly is a lot more value
01:18:43.580
you see trump is buying a tesla tomorrow and is telling all his supporters to buy them to support
01:18:48.540
elon a cyber truck that's so sweet oh i hope it's a gold cyber truck because otherwise
01:18:55.440
oh wow i thought that was really sweet of trump to do for elon you know it shows a lot of support from
01:19:00.760
him yeah and i think one of the benefits of this like recent slew of elon attacks has been that it has
01:19:08.280
made specifically trump incredibly sympathetic to elon and i think a lot of trump's inner circle who maybe
01:19:15.400
previously would have been more cold on elon better understand you know just how much he's taking for
01:19:21.860
this um which further embeds him within the administration sort of loyalty department
01:19:30.720
yeah and there was the what i think you know we're also beginning to see sort of who the slimy
01:19:40.560
guys are like it was mark rubio who elon was dressing down and mark rubio was just being
01:19:45.400
completely like an a-hole elon was like you literally have fired no one and mark rubio apparently
01:19:51.320
reported you know shot back oh what about all those people that accepted layaways like those
01:19:56.380
thousand five hundred people like does that not count for the love and it's like obviously that
01:20:01.400
doesn't count you you what are you talking about that is what elon did that is what happened
01:20:05.940
automatically you were supposed to be doing something to make your own apartment more efficient
01:20:10.560
as well like everyone else yeah as if he was like exempt from it for literally the lowest effort
01:20:18.120
option meant that he did anything so well yeah that he didn't actively fight other people helping him
01:20:25.840
you know my little brother is on doge now so that's really cool so he's hopefully going to go in
01:20:32.020
fix all of this but it i think showed that that rubio has no future in the republican party where
01:20:39.140
it's going that he would resist the efforts of doge is just you know this is something that's like not
01:20:45.860
just a republican winner but has like 70 percent like broad approval among americans like it shows a
01:20:51.060
complete alliance with deep state slime over you know the american people which i guess i should have
01:20:58.980
guessed like mark rubio does have a face that sort of looks like deep state ally type do you get that
01:21:06.820
impression when you look at him like if i went to like a bureaucrat party i'd expect him to be like
01:21:12.500
king bureaucrat yeah yeah i wonder what i come off as to people because people say like i code
01:21:21.700
specific ways i don't think it's as a generic lefty but certainly not conservative like they see it
01:21:27.620
they say you code like a dominatrix librarian yeah which i mean we we typically hear soy boy with you
01:21:37.380
but which is like that's the most common word that is a common word and it's it's like obviously
01:21:43.540
non-descriptive because i have you know fairly defined cheekbones jaw everything like that so i don't
01:21:49.380
know i don't i think soy is is not a physiology thing exclusively it's i really don't know i really
01:21:59.540
don't know maybe it has to do with your voice too because you don't have a deep booming voice
01:22:05.700
kind of how with the animatronic abraham lincoln that well they made his voice deeper they intentionally
01:22:12.020
changed his voice they had a historically inaccurate voice because lincoln too did not have a low booming
01:22:17.860
voice and therefore oh by the way on the on the episode on gay conversion stuff i don't know if
01:22:23.300
you saw the title i came up with i love your title and i am excited which is just electrocuting gay
01:22:28.500
people turn them straight we have to at least try this is gonna be the episode's actually pretty good
01:22:34.900
prepped because i went into it like ai was like really resistant to say that any of it might work and
01:22:41.700
so and obviously like i'm not gonna trust if there's like a bunch of studies saying it doesn't work
01:22:45.300
because you know you'd lose your job if you said it didn't work so i decided to try to understand
01:22:51.300
better when the specific types of treatment that they're using within conversion therapy were used
01:22:58.020
in other aspects of psychology like um for phobias and stuff like that did they work and the answer is
01:23:04.260
broadly no like most of the stuff used in conversion therapy does not appear to work it's not that there
01:23:09.460
are like nothing would work i i suspect some medication stuff aimed at reducing libido would
01:23:16.340
be fairly effective but you cannot create arousal where previously none existed for sure all of our
01:23:22.900
understanding of sexuality yeah so yeah like you can't give someone a foot fetish yeah you can't give
01:23:29.380
someone who doesn't have a foot fetish a foot fetish it's not contagious you can't catch gay you can't
01:23:34.820
catch straight doesn't work that way although i don't know though so here's where i'm like not so
01:23:40.740
sure because this whole issue when i worked at hub pages was what the moderation team referred to as
01:23:48.340
anti-porn like auntie like someone's aunt oh yeah yeah you mean the indian thing yeah it was like
01:23:55.460
normal indian women and i i mean normal because normally when you see a picture of an indian woman she is
01:24:01.300
a 10 out of 10 gorgeous woman this was like sixes fives right so so not an online like even mid person
01:24:10.260
yeah and it was things like armpits and that i was extremely culturally specific well i i i think
01:24:21.700
you know different cultures but there may be ethnically linked fetishes or ways of looking at things like if
01:24:28.740
if you're talking about people who present phenotypically so you just you think it's
01:24:33.780
genetic that just happens to be yeah for example does does japan have a higher prevalence of that
01:24:38.740
than other regions i would guess it probably does in terms of no no like you don't think that they
01:24:46.580
have a high really that would astonish me we've we've seen so much hentai at this point and also like
01:24:55.220
when i was in japan i collected as a teen i would collect all the little sex worker cards they had
01:25:00.820
like little sticky notes that they would put all over like rails of bridges and stuff so that like
01:25:04.980
you'd call them like you pick up it's like a business card but also sticky right but and like
01:25:09.460
none of them emphasized armpits and pictures that was not a silly thing how are you confused i said
01:25:14.980
phenotypically young i am trying not to say a word that gets this demonetized that no no obviously okay
01:25:21.220
okay okay so that that is a a greater tendency i don't know though in in japanese look it would be
01:25:28.020
weird if arousal patterns did not code into ethnic and regional groups that would be no i agree with
01:25:34.180
you on that but i think that being into really responding to youth sexually is a pretty universal
01:25:40.740
super stimuli that people okay but this indian thing i do not think is cultural i think it's genetic
01:25:47.380
you just think it's genetic so there is variation but you just don't think it's cultural yeah i don't
01:25:51.700
think it's cultural i could see that well i mean okay so what would be the argument here like let's
01:25:57.060
think through this okay okay if it was cultural yeah you wouldn't expect so many cross-cultural and
01:26:04.740
cross timelines wise unusual fetishes as i've pointed out typically if you can find an unusual fetish
01:26:11.620
today you can find it mentioned somewhere in a history book as well which we've gone into on on
01:26:16.340
some episodes there are except for ones that they maybe lacked the technology to create in the past
01:26:21.940
or something like that but generally speaking which implies to me that this is not a cultural phenomenon
01:26:28.420
even though people believed it to be the one like for example the one instance where there was a belief
01:26:33.220
that i'm thinking of even historically in cultural fetishes was the english vice was the idea that english
01:26:39.940
liked being spanked because they were exposed to it like in their school system and so you know
01:26:46.820
getting spanked with a paddle was like more common that i wouldn't say is cultural that i would say is
01:26:52.660
exposure potentially alerting them of a fetish they may have that other people don't have but i i i
01:26:59.220
so i think that you know you have some cultural like exposure like i you know but i'm exposed to normal
01:27:04.820
looking women in like armpits and like navel i would know that was arousing to me well i don't think
01:27:11.460
i've never seen belly buttons actually so but changing what arouses you i just think is incredibly
01:27:18.260
difficult or or making a new thing arouse you that doesn't previously arouse no i agree i agree in fact
01:27:26.420
i've never heard of somebody being like really grossed out by something and then later it becoming one of
01:27:32.740
their fetishes um like a sign flip like a sign flip in like adult life i've never heard of that
01:27:40.500
i haven't either though i do wonder if the sexual proclivities of the guy who had a rod shot through
01:27:49.140
his head like phineas gage yeah because phineas gage had a lot of personality shifts i wonder if his
01:27:55.380
sexuality was also apparently he became much more sexually aggressive after that yeah but that's that
01:28:00.500
could just be grouped with overall aggression you know like maybe the the sexual urges or worse
01:28:06.340
um inhibition centers exactly yes i don't i don't see that as as compelling
01:28:12.900
but i don't know phineas gage what a name too it sounds like a very steampunk name if you had to just
01:28:21.540
think of a steampunk name you'd be like off of phineas gage i like that too yeah yeah just have to choose
01:28:28.020
it not even knowing who he was goodness gracious what else did you learn anything today what have i
01:28:36.900
learned oh i've been working with emma waters on finding points of contact to reach out to
01:28:47.060
i will give you email drafts to review tomorrow morning for five people or so asking for 30 minutes
01:28:54.500
no one wrote some executive orders for the trump administration and we're trying to find people
01:28:57.620
to give them to well pronatalist org did i'm i'm pronatalist org did through you it's not like they
01:29:04.180
paid you no so you did i wish they did we don't accept money from our foundations right now we're like
01:29:10.740
super lean which you know whatever maybe maybe we won't be super lean forever but right now you know
01:29:16.740
it's a it's a one directional cash flow into the orgs we we give it money and work but yeah so i will
