Based Camp - Shocking Research： Parasites Make You Bi, Promiscuous, and Leftist To Spread (Yes This Is Real)

00:00:00.000 hello simone today we are going to be diving into something that one of our fans sent us

00:00:04.480 and as i read about this i was mortified it appears that toxoplasmosis remember that

00:00:12.780 thing that everybody knows about from pop culture where it's something that you can catch from cats

00:00:18.460 and it sort of disorients mice and changes their behavior and makes them more likely to be caught

00:00:23.640 and eaten by cats thus spreading the cycle of infection and people are aware it can spread to

00:00:28.560 humans and slightly change human behavior well there was a study done toxoplasmosis gondii a

00:00:35.500 detailed description of the conditian asexual and sexual development and oocyst sporulation that

00:00:42.380 showed that actually there are a number of variations of this that begin to specialize

00:00:49.940 at targeting specific species not only that but this paper then goes over other parasites and

00:01:00.540 diseases that may be modifying human sexual behavior so that they can spread more aggressively

00:01:10.660 with a lot of receipts in other words the diseases are in the driver's seat of our brains they are

00:01:19.120 some people's brains so did you know that with with toxoplasmosis before we go into it it's already

00:01:26.380 been shown to make males that are infected with it taller and thus more attractive to women and that

00:01:36.420 it can transfer from male to male and male to female but not female to male that's right because it's

00:01:44.640 it's transferred through sperm so yes so no but this is wild to me that it is literally creating

00:01:50.460 extra attractive males modifying what arouses them to be more likely to be into gay stuff so that

00:01:56.520 well and bdsm in general just like racy stuff well the type of stuff that would involve the types of

00:02:03.240 contact that would spread a disease but it's not just that did you know that the one of the things

00:02:10.060 we're going to be going over is hpv virus you know the one that you can get from eating girls out 0.98

00:02:14.360 did you know that it makes you more interested in eating girls out or being out so when you have hpv

00:02:21.580 you want guys to eat you out more i got in this section wrong from memory it's actually yeast

00:02:27.380 infections that cause this so we're gonna go over that's interesting on to new business today's 0.72

00:02:33.440 mission is for you all to go to the orgy planet what are we going to do there just go down on each 0.98

00:02:38.760 other not wearing a condom sounds great hermes whatever you say let's ditch him and go to the 0.98

00:02:46.500 movies hey yeah to spill it out here this is probably one of the most impactful episodes i have ever recorded

00:02:52.360 because it reveals in pretty much no uncertain terms and was a lot of receipts that the urban

00:02:58.480 monoculture is co-evolving with a number of pathogens and parasites that alter people's brains

00:03:06.100 in the way that they perceive reality in the same way that they accuse us of being hosts because we are

00:03:11.840 hosts to the next generation of humanity it implies strongly that they and many of their leaders are

00:03:17.580 literally just hosts to parasites that are altering their perception of reality which explains some of

00:03:23.760 their beliefs that that can seem very very strange for a rational thinking human to hold

00:03:28.440 open the door it is so much better there's no fear or pain it's beautiful and you will be beautiful

00:03:39.900 no problems or worries we want you

00:03:45.000 no pain stan we're in here and i'll show you some pain

00:03:51.440 my generation was the first our generation was the first to get vaccinated against it i'm vaccinated

00:03:57.440 against it you know the funny thing is i it was it was you know sold to me of course is like

00:04:02.680 a completely sexless teen and i was so enthusiastic about getting it even though i like basically planned

00:04:08.540 on living a virgin my entire life but i was still like i'm so excited to get this vaccine i just

00:04:12.900 wanted to collect vaccines gotta catch them all but i wonder like if the opposite of it is may have

00:04:18.860 contributed to my aversion to it or if the default is aversion to it and then if maybe just getting

00:04:23.500 infected with it is the thing that makes this a pervasive now she hates the idea of somebody eating

00:04:26.960 her out which works fine for me no but actually this is really interesting so one of the things we're

00:04:34.100 going to get to at the end of this piece is sort of a hypothesis on why these one and this isn't

00:04:40.020 talked about in the piece but it's something that we need to talk about because it's very germane to

00:04:42.820 our audience why when the science is beginning to show that this stuff is very likely happening

00:04:48.140 that some of the degenerate behavior we're seeing in our society is literally humans being modified by

00:04:54.540 diseases to have unique and differentiated arousal patterns why aren't you being told about this

00:05:01.980 and the answer is fairly obvious it would be mortified if you could say which is one of the

00:05:07.100 things we're going to talk about is same-sex attraction may be modified by a bacteria or a

00:05:13.880 another form of disease it may be mortifying to tell somebody that part of your kink profile 1.00

00:05:19.060 is actually just the fact that you had a disease at a young age or even recently if if memory serves

00:05:25.920 too the research found that some of the effects of being infected with toxoplasmosis amplified over

00:05:30.960 time so the longer you were infected yeah the longer worse your reaction times which is one of

00:05:35.940 the reasons why this gets to the thing where somebody can be like oh online porn screwed up my

00:05:41.900 brain it made me into like really extreme things and i've pointed that the research shows this isn't

00:05:47.260 actually the case that online porn does not seem to amplify the weirdness of the things you're aroused

00:05:52.120 by it's just that you become better at finding the stuff that you're interested in um but that it may be

00:05:56.740 the case that what these people actually have and do not realize is a disease that is amplifying the

00:06:04.020 things that they are aroused by right like if that can be the case with toxoplasmosis and reaction times

00:06:08.980 and why is it not the case with yeah these other yeah and then we've got to start asking as a society

00:06:14.260 are orgies a bad idea is the way that we are treating sexuality more broadly in our society a bad idea

00:06:20.960 was it actually good to have prohibitions against non-vaginal sex well also yeah this this changes

00:06:27.740 the way that i think we're going to talk with our kids about stds because it's one thing to be like

00:06:31.740 oh you got crabs like i just i remember that sex in the city episode and it's just like like oh no

00:06:37.040 and it sucks or whatever but now it's like no actually this might change your your identity your 0.82

00:06:44.100 behavior in our generation we were all terrified of aids right and now people aren't afraid of aids

00:06:49.340 anymore people with aids are just like oh i'm on prep whatever right but by the way that's one of

00:06:53.060 the diseases if you want to avoid aids doesn't it you're on something else if you actually have

00:06:57.440 no no prepping you have look it doesn't matter the point is and now people feel that aids is in a risk

00:07:01.260 because prep exists but the point being is that crf said on prep it's really effed up like the

00:07:06.520 government pays for it the only thing it's really useful for is people who want to have a lot of sex 0.93

00:07:11.380 with non-monogamous partners it's weird but the point here being is even aids seems to affect

00:07:16.780 behavior to help it spread so we're going to go over this we're going to go over the research of

00:07:21.640 it but to me as a kid this would be even more terrifying than aids it's like you sleep around 1.00

00:07:27.100 and a virus is going to rewrite your brain to turn you into like a degenerate you know and an idiot 0.99

00:07:33.880 and it will control your personality have fun with that yeah because just to be clear it doesn't just 1.00

00:07:40.540 make men taller and give them behaviors that make them more attractive it also affects reaction time so

00:07:46.060 there's a higher proportion of people who die in in traffic accidents if they have toxicplasmosis

00:07:51.140 and like i mentioned earlier the reaction time gets worse over time so i mean you don't want like

00:07:56.280 from a safety standpoint that's not a good thing yeah so so i'm skipping a bit into the article to

00:08:00.860 start here humans can get infected between 13 and 43 percent of adults 25 years to 50 years

00:08:08.140 of age in europe with lower rates in north america and higher ones in brazil and africa

00:08:12.840 freshman et al 2025 some strains so so note if you're talking in europe it's around 43 percent

00:08:18.800 of people are infected at this point basically half like you should expect that you're going to

00:08:23.420 get infected if you if you're having promiscuous sex yes and in in the united states the rates are

00:08:29.280 lower though so basically if you're having promiscuous sex as a woman because yeah but not as a man

00:08:36.400 i actually got this wrong when i first read this the rates in men are much higher than women even 0.99

00:08:42.180 though men can't get it from women because bisexuals and gays have so much more promiscuous sex 1.00

00:08:47.700 than straight women or men do so you're actually more at risk of this of a man but only if you are 0.96

00:08:54.280 sleeping with other men so we'll get to that in a second some strains seem to have adapted

00:08:59.780 specifically to human hosts one of the three lineages type 2 strains are the most common in our

00:09:05.140 species they're also much less lethal than type one perhaps because they have co-evolved with humans

00:09:09.480 to a greater extent delago et al 2020 hasani et al 2019 quickson and yolkin 2015 you know what

00:09:18.280 actually you can just go to where this paper is if you want to see all the studies on it peter frost

00:09:22.740 did this piece on his substact it's called are tiny parasites messing with our brains think before you

00:09:27.340 swallow i mean i mean surely you're you're being exposed even if you know no the point i'm making here

00:09:34.720 the point that he's making here is one of the lineages is behaving as if it's adapted to humans

00:09:39.180 to be less lethal to a species typically means you are better adapted to spread within that species

00:09:46.180 that's what happens diseases don't want to kill you that's typically a very bad thing and only really

00:09:51.640 happens right after a disease has made the jump from one species to another species that's why things

00:09:56.960 like covid or what was the the pig flu or the you know bird flu or the wine flu whatever it's because

00:10:03.340 they just made a jump from one species to another species they haven't adjusted to be

00:10:06.700 sorry okay infectious causes mental and behavioral changes to humans with other as with other animals

00:10:15.680 men become more jealous women more easygoing and most sexes respond to threats as shown by a high risk 0.95

00:10:23.900 of traffic acid accidents and longer reaction time show less risks to threats so that's interesting it

00:10:29.060 basically makes men into terrible polyamorous partners and women more likely to be okay with 0.93

00:10:34.420 their partner sleeping around yeah i mean that makes that would that would work that would help

00:10:38.180 spread the disease yeah that would do it the last friday finding proves the direction of causality

00:10:44.080 the longer you have been affected the lower you react slower reaction time does not increase your

00:10:49.580 risk of infection so so it's not that these people are less prone to risk that makes them more likely

00:10:53.940 it's the longer you infect the worse this outcome gets and it might be the case with these other

00:10:58.140 pathogens we're going to talk about and there's four it makes sense isn't it like brain lesions that's

00:11:02.980 causing this so also you're sort of like ossifying it changes it changes based on the infection type

00:11:07.580 oh okay so some things use brain lesions some things use blood restriction some things use fake

00:11:12.700 neuro neuro transistors it's different anyway at the extremes of sexual behavior infected individuals 0.99

00:11:19.200 particularly men feel more drawn to masochism great fantasies bondage same-sex experiences and anal

00:11:27.020 women with a latent toxoplasmosis also report feeling more drawn to violent sexual practices 0.92

00:11:32.940 and same-sex experiences but such fantasies are if anything less often acted out by infected

00:11:39.200 individuals real changes to sexual behavior seem confined to a greater propensity for sexual 0.99

00:11:43.660 promiscuity oral sex and among male homosexuals anal sex and there's five studies that show this by the 0.97

00:11:52.440 way this is not like fringe science here okay yeah and again go to the original sub stack if you want 0.98

00:11:57.560 to find links to all these you guys don't want to hear me struggling to pronounce a bunch of names

00:12:01.180 that matters to the one nerd who feels the need to fact check everything t gondii manipulates not only

00:12:07.120 behavior but also physical appearance infected men are taller and women rate them as being more dominant

00:12:12.760 and masculine looking infected men also have lower second to fourth digit ratios a sign of greater exposure to

00:12:19.720 male hormones and there are four studies that show this the physical manipulation is in line with a

00:12:25.880 strategy of making infected males more attractive to purpose to prospective hosts study can this

00:12:31.800 behavioral and physical manipulation be demonstrated under controlled conditions such research would be

00:12:37.320 difficult because we cannot experiment with humans as we do as lab animals humans also live long decades

00:12:42.360 may pass between the initial infection and the ultimate payoff by the parasite two studies showing this

00:12:47.720 nonetheless a group of czech researchers is convinced that some strains of t gondii have involved the

00:12:53.080 ability to manipulate human behavior specifically sex infected men not only seek out more sexual partners

00:12:59.400 but also engage in sexual practices that transmit the parasite more efficiently i.e into the partner's

00:13:04.760 oral cavity or anal canal the existing host gets no reproductive benefit in fact his fertility is reduced

00:13:11.640 through lower sperm counts and lower sperm motility isn't that crazy yeah you'd be like oh well no no

00:13:18.200 no well also he's going to go on here and show that this may explain cucking behavior and other 0.94

00:13:23.080 behavior that doesn't seem to make sense and and and a preference for oral sex which also does not 0.82

00:13:29.800 really help you reproduce that's true yeah yeah why why do some people have oral preference this may explain it

00:13:37.080 oh we're not supposed to talk about this but isn't it kind of crazy that like a portion of society

00:13:44.760 particularly like the urban monoculture sex pest may just be basically a disease behind the control

00:13:51.480 like driving human like you know the little mouse inside the the human arguing for its own benefit you

00:13:57.640 know when i see people like there was recently and we might do a full episode on this you know an individual

00:14:03.400 like the one the the trans woman who runs philosophy tube like giving this long really poorly sought through 1.00

00:14:08.680 like she seems to get dumber every year sought through of why pronatalism doesn't make sense and we don't

00:14:13.720 need to worry about this i'm like but you're like a manifestation of a human darwin award like you are not 0.91

00:14:19.080 part of human civilization anymore you are not you know you don't have any descendants to care about like

00:14:25.400 it doesn't matter to you that your advice is so bad and will have such long-term negative ramifications for

00:14:32.360 humanity but it might be that when i was trying to model her behavior i shouldn't be modeling her

00:14:37.800 behavior but the parasites that are driving it and that is wild that i've realized like oh my god

00:14:43.960 that that changes the way i have to attempt to model ultra urban monoculture people well you've always

00:14:49.560 referred to the urban monocultures being akin to being infected with well a memetic virus right but

00:14:55.320 now it's like oh wait they're actual viruses no no but here's the thing if the virus increase the

00:15:01.480 spread of the urban monoculture the urban monoculture would adopt practices that increase

00:15:05.480 the spread of the virus because it would be a symbiotic cycle so we might actually have some

00:15:11.240 of these viruses or or parasites that are working with the urban monoculture to genuinely turn the

00:15:18.440 people infected into puppets um and as you walk around society and you say oh my god the people i'm

00:15:23.880 interacting with seem more and more like puppets every day they might be

00:15:27.480 continue t gondii cysts in mouse brain we know that t gondii is present in male ejaculate as cysts

00:15:35.080 containing thousands of spores there is a study here we also know that cysts spread from one body 0.94

00:15:41.000 to another through fellatio anal sex and vaginal sex the transmission rates in male to female or 0.87

00:15:47.480 male to male but not male to male and two studies show this as as i mentioned earlier sexual transmission 0.97

00:15:53.400 particularly from the male host is indicated by several lines of evidence in heterosexual couples

00:15:58.760 an infected male partner increases the female partner's risk of infection but an infected female

00:16:02.920 partner does not increase the male partner's risk of infection in women the risk of infection correlates

00:16:08.280 with sex work unprotected sex before pregnancy and a history of genital injuries in men it correlates 0.88

00:16:14.280 with sexual promiscuity and in male homosexuals with unprotected anal sex several severe prevalence of 0.97

00:16:21.160 t gondii is higher in filleting individuals of either sex than in non-filleting controls 0.98

00:16:27.080 several prevalence is higher in i don't like to use this homosexuals that's a sort of outdated

00:16:32.120 word male gays and promiscuous individuals several prevalence is positively correlated with prevalence of 0.88

00:16:38.680 stds across countries including hiv several prevalence is oh interesting that would explain why

00:16:44.120 it's higher in africa and potentially why it's higher in europe although i think it might just be

00:16:49.400 sort of covariant with the urban monoculture or sort of symbiotic and we might be seeing this you know

00:16:54.440 it makes people less prone to threats so they don't understand oh my god bringing all these people who

00:16:59.400 keep graphing people in my country might not be a good idea it makes it so that you cannot see the

00:17:04.200 threats around you right the gender difference emerges in the 10 to 14 age group and peaks among 20 to 39

00:17:12.120 year olds three studies show this i'm gonna explain why that's important right now here is again where i made

00:17:16.680 the mistake that i assumed because it can only transfer from men to other genders or to other

00:17:22.680 men either men or women that it would be more prevalent in women but no actually the gender 0.76

00:17:27.080 imbalance is that it is more prevalent in men than women because even though there are fewer gays and 0.76

00:17:32.040 bisexuals they just have that much more sex and that much more of the type of sex that can lead to 0.99

00:17:37.320 transfer it doesn't become more prevalent in women until you hit about 14 years of age i.e until when some 1.00

00:17:43.480 people begin to become more sexually active especially sexually promiscuous people so to

00:17:48.120 continue here t gondii seems to have become sexually transmissible through three stages of co-evolution 0.77

00:17:54.520 with our species entry into a human population apparently via contact with cats this animal

00:17:58.840 began to coexist with humans some 10 000 years ago in the middle east study passive sexual transmission

00:18:03.880 t gondii could now spread to new human hosts via intimate contact including sex but without any

00:18:10.040 behavioral modification of the host natural selection thus favored adaptation to life within

00:18:15.720 human bodies even though the final stage of the parasite's life cycle sexual reproduction remained

00:18:20.520 within cat bodies nonetheless t gondii could evolve through mutations during asexual reproduction

00:18:26.200 and therefore parasexual recombination like events it studied active sexual transmission natural

00:18:33.400 selection increasingly favored sexual transmission by modifying the host behavior again this evolution may

00:18:39.880 have been speeded up by genetic recombination within cat bodies via transmission from human to cats

00:18:45.240 back again and i'll note here while this entered human populations 10 000 years ago i do not think

00:18:51.400 it evolving a specialty for spreading within human populations really begin to have significant benefits

00:18:58.200 for spread or have an evolutionary reason for it until about the last 40 years because promiscuous sex was just 0.79

00:19:06.440 not that common before then so it wouldn't have been an effective transmission vehicle nor was male to

00:19:13.560 male sex or bisexual males which seems to be or at least a normalization of this behavior which seems to be 0.96

00:19:19.960 of high utility to getting this to spread you can see why the urban monoculture is not talking about all of

00:19:26.680 these studies we are only now realizing that t gondii is sexually transmitted for many if not most academics

00:19:32.920 the dominant view is that t gondii is transmitted mainly through contaminant food or water through

00:19:37.720 contact with cats from this perspective sexual transmission by male hosts is seen as a minor

00:19:43.640 importance yet look at the huge gender differentiation we basically know it's definitely in part gender 0.71

00:19:50.680 transmitted now well and if 45 percent of people in europe are infected in it i mean the the pervasive

00:19:55.880 understanding when we were younger even in our young adulthood was like well if you've cats just use

00:20:01.480 a respirator when you change their litter in the litter box and you'll be fine but no it's not a

00:20:07.800 litter box problem no yeah so it's also not just that the fact that the study showed as i pointed out that

00:20:16.600 men who are dating or married to a woman with this have no higher rate of having it but women who are 0.91

00:20:21.080 dating or married to a man would have a much higher rate of having it yeah basically to me all the

00:20:25.400 proof i need that people who practice fellatio have a much higher rate of it than people who don't 0.58

00:20:29.880 practice fellatio but also if you're having any form of ejaculative intimacy with a man as a woman 0.96

00:20:37.880 you're going to get it yeah well the gays do have significantly higher rate of it if they have 1.00

00:20:42.840 unprotected sex yeah but that's again ejaculative intimacy yeah yeah but i'm basically saying that 0.92

00:20:48.120 we have confirmation of this this isn't like some weird theory at this point yeah we know it's being

00:20:53.080 sexually transmitted and it has adapted to this as one of the primary means of its transmission

00:20:58.360 yet it is sufficiently common to distort the sex ratio among infected individuals apparently through

00:21:03.640 male-to-male transmission in italy quote the prevalence of recent infection was higher in men than

00:21:09.800 in women a two-fold attack rate was detected in males compared to females in the ages of 25 to 35 years

00:21:15.800 in germany male gender keeping cats and bmi were independent risk factors for seropositivity

00:21:23.560 study here seropositivity so wait so this is actually really important this means in germany

00:21:30.040 having cats is not relevant to your probability of catching this that is how much it has adapted to

00:21:36.600 a sexual transmission lifestyle that's crazy yeah in the united states risk for igg seropositivity that's

00:21:45.160 gondii increased with age and was higher in males jones et al in the case of workers occupationally

00:21:53.000 exposed to animals in meta-analysis at 66 studies found a prevalence of 63 among male workers and 37

00:21:59.720 among female workers yeah well i also want to point out because he points this out in the piece and i

00:22:04.280 think it's notable just in terms of how impressive this spread is is toxoplasmosis does not reproduce in

00:22:11.000 humans it can only reproduce in cats so the way it uses humans is basically a means of getting to

00:22:16.760 the next cat and it can go from human to human so it can go from human to human it can travel along but

00:22:22.040 it can't reproduce actually i think you misunderstood what he was saying um i'm not going to read this

00:22:27.480 section where he explains this again but he explains that it has various parts of its reproductive cycle

00:22:32.120 it can't complete its normal reproductive cycle if it's only using human hosts but if it's doing some of the 0.78

00:22:36.920 types of asexual reproduction it does it can reproduce only in human hosts and you could get

00:22:42.120 a human only specialist variant of it oh okay okay okay i didn't i didn't even though the final stage

00:22:48.200 of the parasite's life cycle sexual reproduction remained within cat bodies nonetheless t gondii could 0.53

00:22:53.880 evolve through mutations during asexual reproduction and therefore parasexual recombination like events

00:23:00.200 and we might have already seen that oh so it's not certain it may have been it's not certain that

00:23:06.200 it is human only in its reproductive cycle now but there might be variants of it that are almost human

00:23:12.040 only in their reproductive cycle and very only rarely use cats at this point okay this is something you

00:23:19.000 find in some species where you can have asexual reproduction in some environments but sexual

00:23:22.280 reproduction requires other environments long you don't need to go into that uh nonetheless sexual

00:23:27.800 transmission of t gondii will likely continue to be downplayed this is largely due to a research

00:23:32.280 bias towards obvious stds i.e those which produce symptoms soon after infection and are easily

00:23:37.400 observable and develop over a short time but these characteristics are not optimal for infection of

00:23:42.600 a long-lived species like ours in such species harming the host reduces the prospects of infection of

00:23:47.800 new hosts over a potentially long time basically i just think he's wrong here about what he's saying

00:23:52.440 here he says the reason we aren't studying it is because it's not more loud sort of in its effects or a

00:23:57.480 short period of time i think it's because it would be incredibly damaging to the urban monoculture

00:24:01.960 and many protected groups if you could be like hey you don't have a sexuality you have a disease 0.66

00:24:08.360 or a parasite that is controlling you and attempting to use your behavior to affect me or my children or 0.92

00:24:15.320 you know the the still unaffected members of society we're literally going up what are we what are 0.98

00:24:21.000 we going down here some sort of like slutty zombie virus yeah it is it is actually like okay 0.97

00:24:28.920 there's a classic trope it's this the slutty monster so so uh no no no there's actually like a trope

00:24:36.280 one of the scenarios that i often see near the tops of ai chatbot sites which we have it is getting

00:24:42.200 better we're getting closer to having a really solid one but it's been really up and down for a while

00:24:46.840 here rfab.ai but i don't know if we have one on our platform you can make one if you want but it's

00:24:50.440 on a lot of the other platforms is there's a disease that's going around that turns people in

00:24:55.640 to like very sexually aggressive like and that's all they can think about and it's a version of a

00:25:00.920 zombie apocalypse that apparently some people like get off to and that's what's actually happening in 0.73

00:25:06.600 our society right now when you're dealing with these very aggressive sex pets okay are other 0.58

00:25:13.320 parasites messing with our sex lives t gondii might be one of many microorganisms that have 0.62

00:25:19.000 evolved to manipulate human behavior so i'm going to skip a bit here let's go to hiv right hiv

00:25:26.120 associated neurocognitive disorders called hand although hiv associated neurocognitive disorders hand

00:25:32.200 are widely attributed to hiv and the relationship between the two remains circumstantial in fact hand

00:25:37.400 occurs even in individuals who have lost all detectable traces of hiv through antiretroviral

00:25:43.720 therapy so even if you're on prep you're going to have these brain changes one study found that 21

00:25:48.680 of such individuals nonetheless go on to develop dementia i didn't know that study the causal agent

00:25:54.440 seems to exist as an aids cofactor not by making an hiv infection worse but by increasing the host's

00:26:01.160 appetite for behaviors that increase the risk of hiv infection this cofactor may be hiding in plain

00:26:07.080 sight among opportunistic infections currently blamed for the host compromised immune system

00:26:12.520 while such infections primarily target the lungs the brain is the second most common target and he

00:26:18.120 cites two studies here the existence of brain manipulating cofactor is consistent with the

00:26:23.320 profile of aids victims study in gania italy in that country aids is transmitted mainly via intravenous drug

00:26:31.160 use yet transmission via gaze and bisexuality is 10 times more associated with cognitive

00:26:36.760 impairment oh interesting two studies this might be a different so just you can understand what

00:26:41.480 he's saying here is there may be a different strain of it that is specialized at transmitting

00:26:47.320 via gays and bisexuals that it is altering sexual behavior certainly aids does impair cognition as shown 1.00

00:26:55.080 by the association between low white cell camps in hand in the bulgania study but some cofactor may 0.92

00:27:00.920 also be impairing cognition via the gay bisexuality route the cofactor might be hepatitis c virus hbh oh 1.00

00:27:09.000 he's arguing it's a different thing he's arguing it's using other diseases to impact your brain weird anyway

00:27:14.760 hcv in a large cohort of people with hiv the risk of hand was higher among those with antibodies to hcv

00:27:21.240 and then he gives a study here i'd argue that it might be that there's just different strains that are

00:27:24.920 specializing in drug users versus gays by the way people will say that you cannot get diseases that 0.77

00:27:29.720 evolve this quickly in human populations due to our long life spans which is just factually wrong

00:27:35.240 there's been many species that have specialized in humans we literally just watched covid adapt itself

00:27:41.160 through multiple iterations only over a period of a few years to human hosts that is why it is so much

00:27:47.960 less virulent and deadly now than it used to be because it has adapted itself to human hosts anyone who says

00:27:53.560 you a disease cannot quickly adapt its behavior to human hosts is lying to you when they say oh well

00:27:59.800 it can't adapt itself to affect human brains because human brains are so complex it's like no there are

00:28:06.280 lots of complex things that you can affect through fairly simple actions suppose i wanted to affect the

00:28:13.640 behavior of a computer right and i could i only had a fairly simple action i could throw sand into one of

00:28:20.680 the components right there are a number of components within a computer that i could throw sand into

00:28:26.920 and very confidently affect its behavior in specific ways the idea that you can't affect the human brain by

00:28:34.600 basically throwing sand in different parts of it and keep in mind it's not even that bad it can just

00:28:38.200 create neurotransmitter analogs which we've already seen from some of these parasites it can create lesions

00:28:43.560 which we have already measured from this like i don't understand how you could argue that unless you're just desperate to say

00:28:49.960 no one in society is the puppet of a parasite i mean okay let's talk about sexually transmissible strains

00:28:58.040 of candy ablacus this is a vaginal yeast candy yeast infections oh that's oh that's might have been

00:29:05.080 what i was thinking instead of just these detections yeah candy has been implicated in so it's it's candy

00:29:10.840 has been implicated in several neurodegenerative diseases notably alzheimer's multiple sclerosis and

00:29:16.360 autism spectrum disorders it thus evolved the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and adhere

00:29:22.200 to tissue in the central nervous system particularly white matter because of antibody cross reactivity

00:29:27.800 the actual candy species is difficult to identify them see ablacus is the main suspect two studies here

00:29:34.280 now note here what he's pointing out here is we know that it can cross the blood-brain barrier and

00:29:37.880 interact with your brain okay that's that's not an easy thing for something like this to do and it

00:29:42.920 evolved that why did it evolve this ability well it must have wanted to mess with your behavior in

00:29:47.880 some way so he said it's it's neurodegenerative well we know it has that behavior but that's

00:29:53.880 probably a side effect of these throwing the sand in the machinery yeah i'm just thinking about there

00:29:58.440 was this trend at one point where you women were using their vaginal yeast in recipes so 1.00

00:30:05.160 trying not to vomit while also wondering if there was some kind of neurodegenerative thing going well

00:30:09.560 simone these women already had the neurodegenerative effects it makes sense when you think about what 1.00

00:30:14.360 they were doing yeah all right keep in mind that c ablicanus encompasses many strains that differ

00:30:24.600 substantially from each other in various ways single nucleotide polymorphisms inversions copy number

00:30:30.680 changes loss of heterozygosity and the whole or partial chromosomal aneuploidies at least one of these

00:30:37.320 changes is responsible for altering the balance between communalism and parthenogenesis and then

00:30:42.440 he has two studies here c ablicanus can colonize many body sites but some strains have adapted

00:30:48.520 specifically to the vagina a few are responsible for vulva vagina candisis vvc commonly known as vaginal

00:30:56.440 yeast infection which affects 70 to 75 of sexually active women and at least five to eight percent

00:31:02.680 recurrently and then he gives a study here in china two strains account for almost 60 of all vvc cases

00:31:08.600 with neither being present in extra vaginal sites uh he has a study here sexual transmission is

00:31:13.800 indicated by several lines of evidence once vaginal infection develops it can spread to male partners

00:31:19.080 glands or penis via vaginal sex or to his oral cavity via cunnilingus two studies here the same strains

00:31:27.720 seem to infect both the vagina and the glands penis two studies here in both men and women genital yeast 0.97

00:31:33.720 infections are associated with higher number of sexual partners study here there seems to have been

00:31:39.080 selection for sexually transmissible particularly via oral sex vaginal strains adhere better than other

00:31:45.560 strains to saliva coated surfaces one study here do we just tell our boys to like not go down on women

00:31:53.080 that's what i would tell them yeah just don't do it don't do it no tell our daughters don't get into

00:32:00.680 that that's bad you're gonna become a transmission of diseases anyway transmission in women to man and 1.00

00:32:08.280 not man to man to woman sorry transmission is from woman to man and not from man to woman infected 0.89

00:32:13.880 people do not have a higher rate of vaginal sex but they do have a higher rate of oral sex notably cunnilingus

00:32:19.880 two studies so women who get this have a higher rate of wanting cunnilingus isn't that wild you know

00:32:27.000 what i'm also thinking though which i think is is interesting here is i feel like romanticity books

00:32:33.080 are more popular among progressives right yeah they're they all are also pretty devoid of we'll say normal

00:32:41.000 reproductive sex and riddled with cunnilingus that is true could this be a sign of selective disease

00:32:52.200 spread within this particular group where like they're quite obsessed and fixated on men going 0.96

00:32:57.640 down on them because it really shows up disproportionately in these books to the point

00:33:03.240 you were never sexually promiscuous and you've always hated the idea yeah and i just i think i find it

00:33:07.960 interesting because i also find it very perplexing when like they're supposed to be like they're

00:33:13.960 supposed to be romance novels and and one would assume that there would be sex in romance novels 1.00

00:33:21.000 and there's beyond men going down on women not any and that just really fascinating theory here i want to

00:33:29.320 give you another theory okay after a woman has been cooked like one of these women goes out there 1.00

00:33:34.200 spends their whole life sleeping around dedicates their life to the urban monoculture

00:33:37.320 then they get old they don't find a partner then they surround themselves with cats to complete

00:33:41.720 the breeding cycle this is not accomplished more but for making them undesirable childless cat ladies 1.00

00:33:52.120 which leads to the behavior of acquiring tons of cats the cat ladies are literally just breeding sites 1.00

00:33:58.280 of toxoplasmosis after it cooks their brain right so they women went from being tools of the patriarchy to 1.00

00:34:06.440 tools of the of the parasite the the felinearchy the yeah not even that not even the cats 0.97

00:34:14.120 but the parasites of the cats that the lowest of the low when you talk to these people to be like 0.89

00:34:19.880 i don't have to listen to a host like your host like mindset is getting to me right now 0.97

00:34:24.840 the patriarchy which is built civilization for a cat parasite for i know yeah cat parasite to help 0.96

00:34:33.400 breed a cat parasite oh my god that's crazy that's wild no no no we need to start calling cat ladies the 0.87

00:34:41.080 host no you cannot allow the host to breathe like when they come near you you've got to like hide your face a

00:34:48.520 bit you know like c ablicanus in the male partner's oral cavity does not predict recurrence of vvc in

00:34:57.560 female partners study and treatment of the male partner with antifungals does not prevent reoccurrence

00:35:03.160 of vvc in the female partners two studies it looks as if the parasite is acting on the female partner

00:35:08.120 specifically on her sexual behavior by weakening her inhibitions and motivating her to encourage

00:35:13.160 in vaginal contact with the male partner's body particularly his mouse infection seems to proceed

00:35:18.760 in three stages one colonization of the vagina as commensal with low virulence and no vvc potentially

00:35:26.040 for long period of related latency two colonization of the brain sites that influence sexual behavior

00:35:32.440 and three activation of the most virulent stage i.e vvc when the pathogen can now spread to the male

00:35:38.360 partner and keep in mind the end state of this is you know alzheimer's squirrels you know various

00:35:43.960 forms of neurodegenerative disease i think it's parkinson's like it's not good you're cooking your

00:35:48.920 brain it's it's cooking your brain because it doesn't care about you living forever i mean after

00:35:52.680 when you're an old person and you're only having sex with other people who are about to die you've 0.96

00:35:56.440 you've gone out of its life cycle its life cycle is use you for sleeping around when you're young

00:36:01.480 use you for cats when you're middle age it's like this collection of diseases and then dispose of you

00:36:06.760 apparently let's get to multiple sclerosis here oh no this disease can cause lesions throughout the

00:36:12.680 nervous system but a recurring symptom is an impairment of social cognition through damage

00:36:17.160 of the limbic system particularly the amygdala for studies here as we have seen with t gondii this

00:36:22.040 brain region is from primary target of manipulation of behavior multiple sclerosis ms appears to be

00:36:28.760 associated with a fungal parasite that infiltrates the brain and nervous system perhaps a form of

00:36:34.360 condi in people with ms the association is indicated by antibodies against candy species so i didn't

00:36:41.720 know this by the way so so if you have ms you're going to have higher levels of antibodies against

00:36:45.640 the candy species high levels of immune defense proteins that bind to mana proteins which are

00:36:51.080 ubiquitous in fungal cell walls but rare in bacterial or mammalian cell walls high levels of chistidase

00:36:58.120 which the immune system produces to dyslory chitin a component of fungal cell walls but not a bacterial

00:37:04.280 or mammal cell walls successful treatment of ms with fungicide demycerin from mitrate this is one

00:37:11.320 study that showed this ms seems to be sexually transmitted it is rare before puberty but two to

00:37:17.240 three times more common in women more commonly in women taking oral contraceptives and associated with

00:37:22.600 smoking a sociological marker of sexual activity in women by the way you know what my mom used to say 1.00

00:37:27.720 about women if women smoke they're also more likely to be sexually active do you know what my mom 0.94

00:37:33.400 used to say about women who smoked no much all the time when i was growing up when she she was like 1.00

00:37:38.920 oh you know if you want to hit on women always remember if she smokes she pokes she just had the 1.00

00:37:44.360 best basically i love it we're just going over all my mom's offensive you know now that she's not alive

00:37:50.520 anymore doesn't watch the podcast every day she doesn't know that i'm now telling you all of her secret

00:37:55.320 wisdoms which which turned out to be largely true like lesbian we're quoting her in our house every 0.97

00:38:01.640 day bisexual if she smokes she pokes 0.99

00:38:08.520 but what did she also say about girls in second dates though yeah oh she said if a woman has not 1.00

00:38:13.240 slept with you or gone down on you by the third date she's playing around dumper and i will note 1.00

00:38:19.320 this is actually kind of true even if you're the type who's likely going to get married to somebody

00:38:23.240 um unless you're within a community where almost nobody sleeps around because like simone you had

00:38:29.080 slept with me by what was it date four no no no i have it in our calendar it was yuri's night

00:38:36.120 when we yeah but it wasn't that long into our dating even though i was the first person you slept

00:38:40.680 with it was still only like week two of dating or week three of dating no no no it was i can check

00:38:47.080 the dates if you well that doesn't help much because we lived literally two and a half hours apart

00:38:51.960 so i know it was it was yeah it was difficult it was difficult but yeah no i mean like i was ready

00:38:55.960 to i'm like i was on a mission i'd fall in love and have my heart broken in one year it's not like i

00:38:59.320 was waiting so but the point being is is she she she didn't have these opinions because she was very

00:39:05.240 conservative i'll note that she was she was like very like for example yeah because she had a friend

00:39:11.400 who was gay who died of aids when she was young you know back when that was the thing so she was part 0.60

00:39:15.240 of like that generation of pro gay culture um what yeah my mom yeah by the way speaking of i

00:39:21.000 have seen this comedian and he made this point that i had never thought of before and i want to move to

00:39:25.080 this which is to say when people are like oh are you only pro lgb and not t i'm like no i'm just pro

00:39:30.680 gay okay it's true i i look lesbians are just gays if you sleep with the same sex sometimes you're just

00:39:40.200 gay like bisexual is just a subcategory of gay can we just go back to being defending gay rights 0.97

00:39:47.320 instead of all this other nonsense uh but even that i now have to question given all of these

00:39:53.560 because i didn't know that there was any like really negative effects if we're getting a species and and

00:39:59.320 if this is happening if we're getting species that recently have adopted to use same-sex attracted

00:40:05.720 populations as part of their life cycle and are altering human behavior in a way that's maladaptive

00:40:10.040 this might mean that i would be significantly stricter with my kids and i will be because of

00:40:15.240 this information about saying you really probably shouldn't engage in same-sex behavior even if

00:40:21.000 that's something that you're into i don't know sort of like i i don't i feel very conflicted about

00:40:28.440 i mean gay figures throughout history have contributed quite a lot to culture to religion to fashion

00:40:37.240 agree with that but the the larger thing is is in history when they did this it was still considered

00:40:42.680 a kink it wasn't considered part of their identity it was considered not even these days and we still

00:40:48.600 have great gay contributors to society right the point i'm making is if you consider being gay just

00:40:55.400 another kink that you should probably not engage with but some people will so if you go back to these 1.00

00:41:01.560 periods where you have these great gay contributions you know if you're if you're talking about like the late

00:41:05.880 medieval period or something like that or renaissance period you know being gay was considered like

00:41:11.240 having a fart fetish or like you know wanting to be whipped or something like that right like 0.60

00:41:15.960 it was considered like a weird thing that you certainly wouldn't consider part of your identity

00:41:19.800 and you probably shouldn't make like a full-time thing not your identity and now it's like oh

00:41:27.320 like but the point i'm making here is if we are now getting iterations of parasites that are adapted to

00:41:33.720 spread within humans in ways that they weren't before like one of the things that i've said

00:41:38.120 is when people can be like oh you know would you tell your kid to not engage in same-sex behavior 0.66

00:41:43.320 during the aids epidemic like i 100 would have i don't care that they're same-sex attractive 0.92

00:41:49.720 it had it could lead to their death you know i'd be like exercising a degree of restraint is more

00:41:57.800 important than dying of aids right like the the environmental context that we're in there are

00:42:03.720 things that are more important in life than engaging in whatever arouses you i mean it's for the way

00:42:09.720 we're going to be talking with our kids about it it's not even really about gay stuff as much as

00:42:13.320 like basically any non-reproductive sex is a sin anyway like just focusing on pleasure at all is

00:42:19.320 something we're not going to encourage so it's hardly like we're like oh watch out for the gay stuff i mean 1.00

00:42:23.400 anyone who's having sex for fun period we're like i don't know man we haven't even got priorities yet

00:42:29.080 so let's finish yeah let's do it let's do it it is also associated with herpes simplex virus two

00:42:34.440 studies no they were talking here about the multiple sclerosis unlike on the unknown parasite that may

00:42:40.280 cause hand this one begins doing harm early in adulthood at around 30 years of age perhaps because

00:42:46.200 this is when female hosts tend to abandon the multi-partner lifestyle consequently the parasite 0.99

00:42:50.920 no longer has anything to gain from keeping the host healthy this the mean age of onset for ms has

00:42:57.080 nonetheless risen in recent decades two studies so this could be the case of women staying promiscuous 0.99

00:43:01.720 for longer so basically the disease that leads to multiple sclerosis basically has an evolutionary

00:43:07.960 pressure to try to keep away the really damaging stuff it's doing to your brain until after you've left

00:43:13.800 this promiscuous phase of your life yeah once once you're no longer useful to it it's like whatever

00:43:19.640 i can just screw up the rest of your brain at this point but it's otherwise modifying behavior

00:43:23.960 before this okay then you just gotta keep sliding it up now we're gonna get really offensive exclusive

00:43:30.040 male gayness more than two decades ago gred cochran argued for the existence of a quote-unquote

00:43:35.720 gay germ i.e a pathogen that reorients male sexual preference to increase the number of hosts 0.99

00:43:40.600 it can infect via sexual relations study here he ruled out genetic causes because of the high

00:43:46.360 fitness costs of exclusive male gayness and its heritability of only 20 percent instead the cause 0.98

00:43:53.400 may be a pathogen that targets the limbic system quote indeed anecdotal reports indicate that changes

00:43:59.880 in human sexual orientation have occurred following changes in limbic area due to trauma or infection

00:44:04.760 in quote the pathogen may be exploiting a niche that provides more opportunities for sexual transmission

00:44:10.520 quote gay behavior could facilitate spread because of larger numbers of partners who are gay males may

00:44:18.440 on average have a relative to wait oh could it so so basically they're arguing here in this study

00:44:25.320 that's being cited here that the reason why gays have more partners than straight males or women or 0.82

00:44:31.160 gay women is because parasites are using them to spread i disagree with this i think it's because they're 1.00

00:44:36.440 males and males are just way sluttier and hornier and if during my period when i wasn't the person i 1.00

00:44:42.120 am today and was much more slutty if women were as slutty as me if the part sex i was interested to 1.00

00:44:47.640 was as slutty as me i would have been having even more sex so i think that that's what causes that but 0.99

00:44:51.720 but it could be a partial thing here right this theory has received new support from a recent discovery 0.96

00:44:56.760 that the gut microbiome is different in men who have sex with men specifically there are fewer commensal

00:45:02.360 bacteria that help repair and preserve the intestinal lining perhaps an invasive pathogen destroys them

00:45:07.960 in order to facilitate its entry into the body although this change in gut microbiome seems to

00:45:13.160 pave the way for hiv infection having been in fact discovered through aids research hiv itself does not

00:45:19.160 seem to be responsible there are three studies that show this so yikes we know that the gut microbiome is

00:45:26.840 different could it be something in the gut microbiome or some other thing that's within the microbiome of

00:45:32.680 gay people that is in part leading to same-sex attraction and then i think back to many of the

00:45:38.120 studies or just anecdotal accounts i hear of gay people where they had because i have many friends

00:45:43.000 who are gay they have some young experience that is gay um early in their sexual sort of awakening 0.98

00:45:49.720 think like milo and his experience was that catholic priest right and then he tried to

00:45:53.720 recontextualize it as no it's okay i was gay he helped me sexually awaken could it be that he

00:45:58.680 literally just infected him with a disease caught the gayness well there's a reason why nobody wants 1.00

00:46:05.960 you talking about this stuff right think about the harvey milk thing when he specifically this could also

00:46:12.440 be why you have this unusual preference for what i don't know the harvey what harvey milk harvey milk famous

00:46:17.320 gay guy you know terminal named after him he famously had a preference for underage boys

00:46:22.200 oh specifically one of his partners was 16 when they started dating oh and that's when he began

00:46:27.320 to adopt the gay lifestyle and then he the harvey milk dumped him as soon as he you know aged into 0.98

00:46:33.080 legal sex age because he wasn't interested in a lot of men at that age got a got a new you know 15 15

00:46:38.120 year old and then the guy ended up aliving himself a reporter told harvey milk that he was

00:46:43.320 planning to unalive himself and harvey milk told him well then basic something along the lines i'm paraphrasing

00:46:47.880 in here tell him not to make a mess when he does oh lord genuinely one of the most monstrous people

00:46:53.000 in human history i cannot believe that gays are mad that trump changed one of our do you know one of

00:46:57.240 our battleships was named after him and trump changed it and and a lot of the gay community was like 0.76

00:47:01.560 freaking out well san francisco international airport nevertheless gave him a terminal so when

00:47:05.800 god closes up worship he gives you a terminal okay cuckold fetish into this oh boy other passages may

00:47:14.440 be responsible for certain paraphilias such as a cuckold fetish where a male host abandons mate guarding

00:47:19.320 and even feels pleasure at the prospects of being cuckolded this could explain something scotto because

00:47:24.760 we're so confused by this right like it's one of the most popular fetishes and yet it's so

00:47:29.640 okay hold on this is gonna blow your mind because i wasn't aware of this okay remember that almost any

00:47:34.280 fetish you see today you see across history um yeah i mentioned you see fart fetishes you see

00:47:39.400 sadomasochism yeah not true of cuckolding he notes here that cuckolding fetish was absent from greco-roman

00:47:45.640 literature which nonetheless attests to a wide range of alternative sexualities the earliest references come

00:47:51.160 from the 17th century england particularly among english merchants the class that would have caught it

00:47:56.360 first if it had recently evolved somewhere ooh la la ooh this likely evolved recently whatever the

00:48:04.440 parasite was that was causing this and now it's taking us over because it's so you wouldn't evolve

00:48:09.720 to have this before i'm like i don't understand it i don't understand it i don't understand it

00:48:13.720 the dayton malu point to an external source most likely slaves imported through the trade from west

00:48:19.240 africa because the region's high polygyny rate conditions were ideal for the evolution of the std 1.00

00:48:25.240 that can spread from one polygynous household to another by inhibiting or even inversing male 0.81

00:48:30.600 sexual jealousy remember we talked about sexual arousal pathways working through an inversion system

00:48:35.720 of something yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so a disease it would flip the sign yes see our video on how

00:48:41.880 human sexuality actually works it's one of our other books or read our book on that because you are being

00:48:47.240 lied to about what the data says sexuality is like a study that basically stopped in the 80s because

00:48:52.440 everyone was afraid of what the data said and we go into the real data and the books only sells for

00:48:56.760 like a dollar on amazon so give us a nice review because those amazon reviews are really hard to

00:48:59.880 get uh keep in mind that the barriers to transmission were already low on one hand the head of a household

00:49:05.720 was generally an older man who could not satisfy all his wives on the other the the latter were often

00:49:11.240 solicited by young single men as inevitably happens in polygamous societies frost 2023 so he's showing

00:49:17.240 here that actually you see this behavior in polygamous societies it would make sense it would

00:49:20.840 really help spread a parasite or virus or bacteria or yeast you know who knows sure

00:49:27.960 note here this point was made by anthropologist pierre von de bagel beige the and we're quoting

00:49:33.320 the anthropologist here the temporary celibacy of young men in polygamous societies is rarely absolute

00:49:37.880 however while it often postpones the establishment of a stable pair bond and the procreation of children

00:49:44.760 it often does not preclude dalliances with unmarried girls adultery with younger wives of older men

00:49:50.360 or the grape or seduction of women conquered in warfare thus what sometimes looks like temporary

00:49:55.800 celibacy is in fact temporary promiscuity and then he cites a study here polygamous households were

00:50:01.560 thus vulnerable to any std that could overcome the already low barriers to entry once this behavioral

00:50:07.960 niche was colonized selection favored those strains that could lower the barriers even more and then

00:50:13.720 merchants particularly in like the slave trade or or around the slave trade or frequenting brothels 0.59

00:50:20.680 that kept enslaved women from these cultures would then catch this and spread this throughout society 0.99

00:50:26.920 and this modern cuckold fetish comes from literally a disease um crazy i mean honestly that's the best

00:50:35.160 explanation i've had so far because otherwise no and the reason why i buy this explanation so strongly is

00:50:40.920 because one there's not a lot of other good explanations two he's right as somebody who's

00:50:45.240 actually studied historic literature i haven't seen this from before the 17th century so you know what

00:50:50.120 is because i've been trying to research an episode on this too and also it shows up in other bits of

00:50:54.280 episode research i've been doing like when i did the johannesburg episode right and i was i was just

00:50:58.840 looking at at subreddits for johannesburg one of the big subreddits was more cuckolding behavior

00:51:04.360 yeah with swingers and just like people looking to share their wives also when i was doing actual

00:51:09.640 research on the cuckold episode that you encouraged me to start doing a lot of military people are doing

00:51:14.360 it and i'm like why is it that like it's catching on within these like more tightly knit like geographically

00:51:21.160 or logistically sub-communities but there you go i mean it could be yes and more than that why is it

00:51:27.720 that as i have seen more sexually promiscuous men men who you think would be able to capture more 0.75

00:51:33.800 women that's yeah yeah yeah yeah they seem to be more into it yeah oh crazy right what does this 1.00

00:51:43.080 mean the very last thing you should ever do is be a bull for a cuckold which which by the way is

00:51:50.920 bad because oh is the bull the one that because that's good because then you're going to end up

00:51:55.400 into it right yeah you're gonna catch the literally it's literally a disease that's honey trapping you

00:51:59.720 wow wow wow yikes make you the today bull tomorrow be today's bull is tomorrow's cuck 1.00

00:52:14.440 this is crazy this is crazy this is actually crazy i am so glad that was all of the sex i had when i was 0.99

00:52:22.360 younger i can virgins i don't seem yeah well so that's what simone mentioned there and this was 0.93

00:52:29.400 like my thing i had a strong preference for virgins i i really find it quite gross knowing

00:52:34.600 when a woman has slept with other people so almost everyone i know not everyone it was like a good 1.00

00:52:38.680 quarter of the people i slept with were virgins and then other than that they'd only slept with like 0.95

00:52:42.200 one other person or something which is probably why i didn't catch these things goodness or at least in

00:52:47.800 regards to what arouses me it would appear that i did not catch these things yeah i was while i was

00:52:52.760 reading because i only read the beginning of this article and then had to get back to work

00:52:56.040 i was like well how do i test if you or i have toxoplasmosis like how would we even know you know

00:53:02.920 we don't seem to show a lot of the behaviors that i would associate with it but that i'm not very easy

00:53:09.640 going and you're not into bdsm so between well i mean i'm not i mean i would say the things that

00:53:15.240 aroused me would fall into categories of bdsm yeah but no no bdsm is like gotta get the gear

00:53:21.080 you're into dominance you're not into bdsm yeah it's true bdsm is about procedures and rules and

00:53:27.000 hierarchy and accessories and you were you're so not into any of that well i don't anyway to continue

00:53:35.320 here i'm skipping a bit what the one thing you cannot handle is any talk about logistics or rules or

00:53:42.120 i don't know i hate it i hate it anyway to continue here we're going from the end paragraphs here

00:53:48.600 specifically we can look for decoy surface molecules such decoys mimic the surface molecules

00:53:54.040 by pathogens to enter a cell while not allowing them to enter an example in humans is ceacam3 which

00:54:01.960 mimics the normal surface molecule for ceacam1 it is fast evolving apparently because it has been

00:54:09.400 convergent co-evolving with certain pathogens the latter evolve it to avoid this surface molecule

00:54:15.640 while in turn evolves to bind the pathogen even more in the sites of study here as such decoys

00:54:21.320 specifically produced by our sorry he says are such decoys specifically produced by our neural tissues

00:54:28.440 evolutionary psychologist marco de gil is skeptical about the possibility that behavioral manipulating

00:54:34.920 parasites have adapted to human bodies notably because we have large complex brains with redundancy

00:54:40.840 and because we are much larger than microbes and can thus invest more metabolically in countermeasures

00:54:46.600 to fight them i basically already said this is just silly you we are obviously obviously susceptible to

00:54:53.320 this stuff on the other hand he goes on to say we have much longer gestation times than many other

00:54:59.720 behavioral manipulating parasites currently known i.e we live much longer than something like a cat

00:55:04.440 which and we know that they increase the amount they affect our behavior over time which we seem to

00:55:09.000 see across these parasites the latter thus has a co-evolutionary advantage it can outmaneuver our

00:55:14.680 countermeasures faster than we can evolve new ones very true humans evolve very slowly so even if we large

00:55:21.320 are large and evolved we have our countermeasures can't update and more important than that we just

00:55:27.400 probably haven't been exposed to this stuff for very long he goes our large complex brains often

00:55:33.000 create more opportunities for manipulation then again the very largeness of our brains works in our

00:55:37.640 favors we can create so much neural redundancy that the parasite has to pull too many switches in too

00:55:43.320 many places to produce a substantial effect but the thing is is it the the parasite doesn't care

00:55:48.920 about pulling too many switches in too many places this might be what's causing multiple sclerosis

00:55:53.640 it has decades to do this to you it is living in your body right that's just comically wrong he says

00:55:59.800 finally we have another advantage we can fight invasive parasites through cultural rules and

00:56:04.840 prohibitions rules against sexuality promiscuity and non-vaginal sex may reflect a vague awareness 0.89

00:56:10.760 that the sex act can transmit not only through semen but also sorry unwanted semen but also free 0.76

00:56:16.360 riders and then he cites two studies here and i note here our guide the pragmatist guide to creating

00:56:23.240 religion or crafting religion talks about this it talks about how evolutionary pressures like this

00:56:29.160 this would have been an evolutionary pressures on the early evolutionary early evolution of religion

00:56:33.960 may have affected what religions ultimately became and the behavioral sets of these religions fascinating

00:56:42.120 that the fact that we dropped these and we ended up creating these sort of nest beds of perhaps even

00:56:49.160 immunocompromised pools because diseases evolved much faster in immunocompromised pools here i'm

00:56:54.920 talking about the early gay aids population here that was very promiscuous we may have created the 1.00

00:56:59.880 perfect test beds for these new types of behavioral manipulating parasites and diseases and viruses to

00:57:06.760 evolve and our scientists are basically not allowed to study them because oh my god if they did

00:57:14.120 wouldn't that be naughty if we found out that certain individuals behavior was not a you know an inborn preference

00:57:25.400 but a parasite

00:57:29.640 that polyamory may not even be a preference it may be a parasite the very fact that you may not care that

00:57:35.880 your partner is sleeping with other people which among our ancestors would have been a very bad thing for males 0.56

00:57:41.960 something external might have to be modifying you to make you have this very evolutionarily maladaptive

00:57:48.920 preference and i love it that progressives are the now ones who don't believe in evolution

00:57:53.000 by the way if you want more like this check out peter frost's substack

00:57:59.400 our our sex ed for our kids has just changed a lot which is crazy this is one of the most impactful

00:58:05.800 things i have ever covered on this show this is why i love the base camp community we get we get these

00:58:10.440 amazing emails just like no check this out and then our minds get blown and then we get to share it

00:58:16.440 with other people it turns out it's what you knew about human sexuality was seriously seriously

00:58:23.640 wow yeah there's a lot of evidence is the other thing for this yeah

00:58:30.680 like to me i don't even take this as a theory i take it as confirmed and i know why it's been covered up

00:58:35.480 well and it's it's also just one of those things where it makes sense you know it it would make

00:58:39.480 sense there there's there's a means a motive an opportunity motive and opportunity yeah you know

00:58:46.520 yeah yeah so guys i would say that having sex everyone stop everyone's time it changes so many

00:58:57.320 things it changes sex ed for my kids this would have been so much more effective on me as a kid if 0.68

00:59:01.240 somebody was like oh my gosh a parasite will take over your body control your mind the rest of your

00:59:06.440 life and then eventually discard you it's invasion of the body snatchers it's terrifying yeah yeah

00:59:11.240 there are literal body snatchers out there that are going to attempt to seduce you steal yourself

00:59:16.120 like literally seduce you yeah two it changes my perspective of our enemies that there might be

00:59:23.320 actual biological actors out there parasites that are co-evolving with the urban monoculture

00:59:28.440 and the urban monoculture benefits from spreading the affection because for example say toxoplasmosis

00:59:35.000 it lowers people's awareness of threats and a lower awareness of threats increases and we've seen this

00:59:41.560 in voting behavior a willingness to vote democrat yeah and not seeing the obvious threats that we're

00:59:47.480 importing into our country yeah you know the great like grape gangs they can hear about these and be 0.91

00:59:54.920 and and that these are actively being covered up or have actual politicians just walk up and be like

00:59:59.880 yes we want to replace x population or something like that and no here i'm not i'm talking about i'm

01:00:06.040 talking about like zero mandani's actual election speech right like i'm not like being a kid we're

01:00:11.080 talking about literally hillary clinton saying that's why we need large immigrant ways see our video on

01:00:17.080 is hillary clinton a great replacement theorist that people's threat response isn't alerted to this 0.99

01:00:22.520 shows that these two communities work hand in glove and again here i'm not noting i have any

01:00:29.400 allusions to this i of course do not believe that any there's any agenda around replacing people i'm

01:00:35.320 just saying it's weird that zorhan mandani and hillary clinton think that like

01:00:42.760 i love you simone thank you our fans and great episode fascinating fascinating fascinating yeah i'm

01:00:49.240 grateful for this tip really good stuff everyone keep the good ideas coming yes and like and

01:00:53.880 subscribe if this episode was cool for you yes we'll continue to power the web for the information

01:00:58.920 you need to know all right

01:01:21.560 right i was surprised that today's episode did so poorly

01:01:26.040 sometimes the algo gods just don't like us it was the episode on muslims not liking dogs but i

01:01:34.360 suspect yeah i actually don't know i could it could be that youtube was trying to like it was it's like

01:01:40.280 oh this episode is anti-muslim i mean we need to suppress it there's nothing exactly flattering 0.99

01:01:48.120 that's in that episode so well you know they wouldn't do that for you know well okay so by the

01:01:57.400 way did you watch more of that that girl's videos who i sent you yes i just as we were about to start

01:02:02.920 this i was in the middle of her episode on some animal crossing thing yeah i'm delighted

01:02:10.440 let's hold on i'll just pull up her name now so i can tell her fans because i'd like i do not know

01:02:14.200 how i was never recommended her videos yeah she's delay wait wait sorry watching them what's her name

01:02:21.800 again i was talking over you what's her name frankie faye and she does the i mean i had heard of it 0.99

01:02:27.320 before i think the like bad art critic or something but it is it is exactly up my alley it's it's like

01:02:34.760 weird online subculture anthropology without a lot of moralizing or bias yeah just just delight in the

01:02:43.160 weirdness of the internet and humanity that is what we want it is what she serves she is doing god's

01:02:49.960 work that's what i'm here for yes absolutely so recommendation of the day frankie faye what did

01:02:57.080 it and she has a ton of watches on her videos it's not like why was i being recommended this why

01:03:02.600 weren't you like simona and i have the same how can we know about strange aeons and how can we know

01:03:07.800 about what's the name of the clown girl i don't know she puts like tons of clown music on she's 1.00

01:03:13.560 australian and she puts on clown makeup and talks i like literally now that i've watched frankie faye

01:03:17.880 i like frankie faye better than strange aeons or clown stop don't come for strange aeons she's wonderful 0.87

01:03:23.960 no the problem is is strange aeons is better she's better than clown face girl clown face girl is 0.63

01:03:30.120 good but the problem is this clown face girl is way too urban monoculture cook strange aeons is 1.00

01:03:34.840 like gay she goes into more detail than i want or sometimes she just chooses things that aren't that 0.86

01:03:40.600 interesting not that salacious by the very best but he just doesn't produce videos much in this

01:03:46.200 category if you want to go into it is down the rabbit hole oh it's great but he also did that

01:03:51.640 really really long one on the hurdy-gurdy like he doesn't always do internet stuff he'll just do

01:03:56.120 stuff on like here's this random instrument that i'm obsessed with but he did a really did he did

01:04:01.240 he did furries he did for he's done some furry ones yeah no he's done a lot of internet stuff but he's

01:04:06.520 also done a lot of just i mean not that i didn't enjoy the the hurdy-gurdy history but i also didn't

01:04:12.920 i didn't watch that one anyway i did in solidarity you have to get to show your support give some views

01:04:19.800 malcolm jeez well there's one small one that i want to recommend that did a great one on the

01:04:25.480 husband hotel incident but i'd have to find it again because i was so surprised i watched i was

01:04:29.560 like this is as good as any of the others i watched but it only had like 10 000 views

01:04:34.280 yeah yeah we should somebody do a roundup of of our favorite youtube source literally every morning

01:04:41.400 for her and me it's like hey did you watch asthma gold this morning yeah it's always

01:04:45.480 this morning what has been gold gets me out of bed man like that's that's the you know when

01:04:50.360 you're like i just i don't want to do the day he is woken up by the smell of a rotting

01:04:58.280 i'm working up by his stream so many of our fans is the thing that they talk about when they're like

01:05:02.200 dating or in a marriage which is great you know oh yeah no no yeah like that that the thing that that

01:05:08.200 keeps otherwise isolated marital partnerships from going stale is consuming content and discussing it's

01:05:14.760 it's like what ongoing university classes are i think it's what a lot of people miss about school

01:05:19.320 is that you would read plato's republic and then you'd go discuss it in class and now we get to do

01:05:25.320 that but with a whole bunch of internet nonsense instead and class is just someone you actually

01:05:29.880 really love instead of a bunch of really basic uneducated young people so it's great how'd you get up there

01:05:38.840 yeah you did climb all the way up there do you know how to get down

01:05:50.120 okay

01:05:53.400 titan you want some pretzels

01:05:57.080 octavian excited for school

01:05:58.360 i want to go and play in your car you want to go in my car yes why i want to play but the pretzels are

01:06:12.840 right right there
