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
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
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
00:02:38.760
other not wearing a condom sounds great hermes whatever you say let's ditch him and go to the
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
00:03:45.000
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
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
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
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
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
00:07:33.880
and it will control your personality have fun with that yeah because just to be clear it doesn't just
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
00:08:42.180
though men can't get it from women because bisexuals and gays have so much more promiscuous sex
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
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
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
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
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
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
00:11:43.660
promiscuity oral sex and among male homosexuals anal sex and there's five studies that show this by the
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
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
00:13:23.080
behavior that doesn't seem to make sense and and and a preference for oral sex which also does not
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
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
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
00:15:41.000
to another through fellatio anal sex and vaginal sex the transmission rates in male to female or
00:15:47.480
male to male but not male to male and two studies show this as as i mentioned earlier sexual transmission
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
00:16:14.280
with sexual promiscuity and in male homosexuals with unprotected anal sex several severe prevalence of
00:16:21.160
t gondii is higher in filleting individuals of either sex than in non-filleting controls
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
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
00:17:27.080
imbalance is that it is more prevalent in men than women because even though there are fewer gays and
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
00:20:29.880
practice fellatio but also if you're having any form of ejaculative intimacy with a man as a woman
00:20:37.880
you're going to get it yeah well the gays do have significantly higher rate of it if they have
00:20:42.840
unprotected sex yeah but that's again ejaculative intimacy yeah yeah but i'm basically saying that
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
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
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
00:24:08.360
or a parasite that is controlling you and attempting to use your behavior to affect me or my children or
00:24:15.320
you know the the still unaffected members of society we're literally going up what are we what are
00:24:21.000
we going down here some sort of like slutty zombie virus yeah it is it is actually like okay
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
00:25:06.600
our society right now when you're dealing with these very aggressive sex pets okay are other
00:25:13.320
parasites messing with our sex lives t gondii might be one of many microorganisms that have
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
00:26:55.080
by the association between low white cell camps in hand in the bulgania study but some cofactor may
00:27:00.920
also be impairing cognition via the gay bisexuality route the cofactor might be hepatitis c virus hbh oh
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
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
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
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
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
00:32:08.280
not man to man to woman sorry transmission is from woman to man and not from man to woman infected
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
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
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
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
00:33:52.120
which leads to the behavior of acquiring tons of cats the cat ladies are literally just breeding sites
00:33:58.280
of toxoplasmosis after it cooks their brain right so they women went from being tools of the patriarchy to
00:34:06.440
tools of the of the parasite the the felinearchy the yeah not even that not even the cats
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
00:34:19.880
i don't have to listen to a host like your host like mindset is getting to me right now
00:34:24.840
the patriarchy which is built civilization for a cat parasite for i know yeah cat parasite to help
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
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
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
00:37:27.720
about women if women smoke they're also more likely to be sexually active do you know what my mom
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
00:41:43.320
during the aids epidemic like i 100 would have i don't care that they're same-sex attractive
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
00:44:51.720
but it could be a partial thing here right this theory has received new support from a recent discovery
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
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
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
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
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
00:48:25.240
that can spread from one polygynous household to another by inhibiting or even inversing male
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
00:50:20.680
that kept enslaved women from these cultures would then catch this and spread this throughout society
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
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
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
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
00:52:22.360
younger i can virgins i don't seem yeah well so that's what simone mentioned there and this was
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
00:52:38.680
quarter of the people i slept with were virgins and then other than that they'd only slept with like
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
00:56:10.760
that the sex act can transmit not only through semen but also sorry unwanted semen but also free
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
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
00:57:29.640
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
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
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
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
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
01:01:21.560
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
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
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
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
01:03:23.960
no the problem is is strange aeons is better she's better than clown face girl clown face girl is
01:03:30.120
good but the problem is this clown face girl is way too urban monoculture cook strange aeons is
01:03:34.840
like gay she goes into more detail than i want or sometimes she just chooses things that aren't that
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
