00:08:41.500So you get a clustering of genes and cultures when you're
00:08:45.580talking about this stuff, but to continue here.
00:08:47.680why does innovation fall we find two main channels existing innovators become less productive
00:08:54.180and two communities produce fewer successful new innovators both effects contribute to the
00:09:00.060long-run decline in innovation the productivity decline among innovators is strongest in knowledge
00:09:05.360intensive sectors such as electricity chemistry physics machinery and these sectors relied heavily
00:09:13.300on specialized skills and complementary workers. So here is a chart that they put together where
00:09:20.440you can see where you had the biggest negative effects. And the biggest negative effects
00:09:25.180are on things like mechanics and electricity. And the lightest negative effects are on things like
00:09:33.120construction and human necessities, like food and stuff like that, right? So the things that
00:09:39.260require intellectual horsepower is what's really hit because textiles does not. Some innovators
00:09:46.820adapt. Innovators who relocate to other communities or work with co-authors experience
00:09:52.180smaller productivity losses, suggesting that networks and innovative local ecosystems help
00:09:57.140buffer capital shocks. Overall, the evidence highlights the importance of local human capital
00:10:02.340and knowledge networks for innovation now i wanted to now go over because i had mentioned this and
00:10:10.000it's just worth going into more here what what was the relative death rate in the war so in the uk
00:10:17.480where they're seeing this effect 6.7 percent of males age 15 to 49 were killed this equates to
00:10:24.82012.3 or 12.5 percent of the men who actually served it's a lot this is in world war one
00:10:32.500if you look at world war one for france compare this to the 6.7 percent in the uk it was 15 to 17
00:10:40.140percent oh like well over triple the rate of what was killed in the uk i wonder what percentage of
00:10:48.460men of military service age are being killed in russia right now germany it's 15 percent
00:10:54.440if you then go to world war ii in the uk it was only two to four percent in in in germany it was
00:11:04.86010 to 13 percent although for some cohorts it was as much as 30 to 38 percent some estimate in
00:11:13.740russia it could have been as high as 40 to 50 percent in some cohorts during world war one
00:11:18.880still world war ii and world war ii oh god russia russia yeah so let's get to the wider
00:11:26.860so what effect of all of this okay so i mean i know that demographically russia is already screwed
00:11:34.180but compare that to now and well under one percent of all russian men have been killed in the current
00:11:39.300russia ukraine war and then one to two percent of ukrainian men though i mean you know we don't
00:11:44.640know the data that much it's it's still a ton but it we're not at like world war one or world war
00:11:51.520two levels yeah not even close not even close it's not even like fractionally there yeah the
00:11:58.420genetic effects on ukraine which are going to be huge are actually going to come more from the
00:12:04.380women who fled the country which is interesting fleeing a country during a wartime i think is
00:12:11.660generally a sign of positive genetic traits. Very different than being somebody who stays
00:12:16.660and just skirts your service. Because it shows that you have the initiative to go and try to find
00:12:24.420a better life for your family. And lacking that initiative is really big. If you look at something
00:12:28.800like the Irish potato famine or something like that, and people talk about how horrible it was,
00:12:33.820they talk about the horrors of the coffin ships and stuff like that. And they were, they were
00:12:36.540horrible but what is often not talked about is that pretty much most irish peasants had the
00:12:44.720choice to leave ireland if they wanted to it was not about a i don't have the money to not leave
00:12:51.060my house and starve you know now that there's you know roving gangs of of you know you know mad
00:12:58.780people which what happened during that period you know there's there's stories of like people
00:13:02.340walking into houses and thinking they were full of of dead people and then like seeing one of the
00:13:06.300skeletons move and realize it's just severely impoverished like the level of the horror of this
00:13:11.460but many of those people allowed that to happen to themselves rather than take initiative they
00:13:18.800were given like free passage to yeah so for people who don't understand why so many of the serfs were
00:13:24.460given free passage as soon as the landowners realized because this is the way you know serfs
00:13:29.560and landowners work oh my god i'm not gonna remotely gonna be able to pay my serfs this year
00:13:34.900and there had already in food because that is one of the things you paid them in back then
00:13:39.400and there had already been instances of peasants rising up and killing the landowners when they
00:13:45.100couldn't pay them during the beginning of the famine most of the lords were like well we got
00:13:50.000to get them out of here asap you know as many as many of the services i can yeah like it's not like
00:13:55.340they were being benevolent they were trying to survive as well but also that's makes it all the
00:14:00.440more believable you know yeah yeah it wasn't that they were being nice or anything like that but
00:14:05.220they they wanted to get the serfs off the land before everybody started starving and many of
00:14:10.680them had a benevolent angle as well you know keep that in mind of course no i mean also no one wants
00:14:15.520like a bunch of people suffering and dying and starving that are under your care that's horrific
00:14:21.680yeah i would have moved mountains to try to if that was happening with people living on land
00:14:26.940i was responsible for you know and i'm sure you know these are for the most part good christian
00:14:32.700men with noblesse oblige you know at least most of them hopefully so but the people didn't want
00:14:39.580to leave is the point well no a lot of them did leave a lot of them did leave a lot of them all
00:14:45.100over the united states not actually as big as you'd think and this is most americans and i when i say
00:14:51.500say most i mean most i mean over 50 of americans who think that they have irish heritage do not
00:14:58.600have any meaningful irish heritage they are scots irish and what that meant got a translation error
00:15:06.860over time because you know three or four generations in you don't have a strong understanding
00:15:11.700of what the scots irish are anymore and so you communicate that to your kid and when they're
00:15:16.240communicating to their kids they're like oh we're like a type of irish you know especially after
00:15:21.160the big irish immigration wave happened and people began to build an idea of irish identity
00:15:27.020and so then other people wanted that but that's a bit like hearing you know you're a mongoose
00:15:31.720eating cobra and then somebody being like i'm a mongoose mongoose was somewhere in the name there
00:15:38.280right it will have a separate video where we will go deeper into the cultural history of the scots
00:15:44.840irish which which is actually really so if you're wondering which population you're in were your
00:15:50.500ancestors protestant and were they in the united states before the civil war if those two things
00:15:56.760are true you are not irish another question were your ancestors in the greater appalachian to let's
00:16:03.420say texas region or south if they were you were probably scots irish if they were from boston or
00:16:10.340massachusetts or maybe some waves in like california then you might be irish but it's worth noting here
00:16:18.140because these two groups didn't like each other they're genetically very different from each other
00:16:21.980in terms of like genetic genetically and culturally distinct from each other and they it's it's a shame
00:16:29.960that so many people think this about themselves and don't understand that the traditions and stuff
00:16:34.180that they're doing has nothing to do with irish history but anyway back to the story here so
00:16:38.940well actually the scots irish are an important point here so if you go back to the scots irish
00:16:43.400when they were the Reavers in lower Scotland, like the Ulster Scots, the population that came
00:16:49.320to the United States and became one of the dominant populations in the United States
00:16:51.800was only about 3,300 fighting age men, right? And this became one of the dominant cultures
00:16:58.340in the United States and the backbone of the MAGA movement as a culture, right? Like it is
00:17:03.240an incredible, and that movement now is one of the most culturally important movements in global
00:17:07.980geopolitics. So you can go and start with a very, very small population and have that population
00:17:14.580absolutely explode and thrive if they have some sort of advantage over other groups that are
00:17:23.000moving into a region. You have other groups that move into the United States and largely died out,
00:17:29.540like the Puritan populations. So in fact, the part of the Puritan population that like I'm
00:17:34.560descended from only survived because it merged with the scots irish population um but most of
00:17:40.580the the cleaner pure puritan population died out so so it matters a lot you know your culture the
00:17:47.140way you act whether or not to the point i'm making here you look at an environment like when we talk
00:17:51.580about the long tail distribution of cultural and genetic innovativeness you're looking at a place
00:17:58.680like Silicon Valley, right? You know, what was Silicon Valley? Like what, what was the population
00:18:05.320that was there differentially? It was people who, you know, a hundred years before that, or not even
00:18:11.960a hundred years before that, you know, during the gold rush had gone out and risked life and limb
00:18:17.140to move to a place where there was incredibly high reward possibility, but incredibly high
00:18:24.640risk. And discomfort. And discomfort. And discomfort. And that's also true of the other
00:18:30.060ethnic populations within Silicon Valley. They were all selected based on this. The Chinese
00:18:34.880immigrants that came in the early Chinese waves, this was incredible risk. The Japanese immigrants
00:18:40.320who come in these early waves, this was an incredible risk for them. You know, you are
00:18:44.260getting the cream of the crop in terms of the type of people who are likely to be innovative.
00:18:50.960And this is true throughout the United States. If you're going all the way to, you know, the edges
00:18:54.160of the frontier, these are often people and groups that were squeezed like this over and
00:19:00.380over again. This is why if you look at the United States and you're looking at innovation,
00:19:05.240you basically see a gradient from the east to the west coast, right? Like with people from the more
00:19:12.040frontier environments being on a per person basis, more innovative because they came from
00:19:18.440ancestral groups that took more and more risks. And then some of them were just like, oh, and we
00:19:23.520have to keep moving and we have to keep moving and we have to keep moving. And so this is even
00:19:27.420true. So somebody from Europe today could be like, well, you know, I'm thinking of moving to the
00:19:32.320United States, but does this mean that somebody like Malcolm would want me in the United States?
00:19:35.240It's like, no, the fact that you are thinking of moving and going through this risk means that you
00:19:40.800are likely part of the stock, culturally speaking, within Europe and genetically speaking,
00:19:47.000within Europe that is dispositioned to these sorts of risks. Now you could say, well, okay,
00:19:54.320but then does that mean that the immigrants that Europe is getting right now have a similar effect
00:20:00.420on the European population? And the answer is no, because Europe has created a scenario where you
00:20:07.300can immigrate into the countries with not just no risk, but like negative risk. Like the government
00:20:13.300will pay for your lifestyle. It will set you up in a hotel. It will pay for you to eat. It'll pay
00:20:18.240for your children. It'll pay for everything. When you set that up, you remove what creates the
00:20:23.620beneficial effect of the immigrant filter, right? And if I was in charge of the United States,
00:20:29.260I'd be trying to replace that effect. I do think life should be differentially harder
00:20:33.220for first generation immigrants in the United States. That's how you ensure that you get good
00:20:37.000immigrants. Then you don't need to worry. Like if being an immigrant in the United States
00:20:41.620is not a pleasant experience. Like it's something like it used to be, like you actually have to
00:20:46.560work for it, right? I would actually be open to almost infinite immigration, right? You know,
00:20:52.820you could come if you can prove that you are contributing demonstrably to the country. And
00:21:00.860if you aren't, you know, we just let you die, right? Like that's the mindset you needed. And
00:21:06.800that was the mindset within the United States for a long time. And it was in other, and this is
00:21:11.640again why I say we don't have to worry as much about Latin American immigrants as Europe does,
00:21:17.340right? It has to worry about the Middle Eastern immigrants and the African immigrants, because
00:21:21.780the Latin American immigrants are coming from Latin American countries. And when I talk about
00:21:27.040this immigrant selection effect, you have that across Latin America as well.
00:21:33.920Well, there's also the magnification. So each time there's an additional immigration step, you get a magnification of the risk taking, discomfort tolerance, willingness to deal with new and novel situations and adapt, which I think is another reason why Silicon Valley historically has been such this magnet for risk taking innovators who are capable of sitting with discomfort and going for broke and building amazing things.
00:22:01.200because first they they descended from people who left various parts of europe and sometimes on the
00:22:07.180way would like go from russia to germany to france like they there was a process before they actually
00:22:11.980made it across the pond and then often they would go from like new england then to chicago then to
00:22:18.540like the midwest and then all the way to california like there are multiple points at which
00:22:23.520maybe isn't like and this is can be across generations people basically re-upped their
00:22:28.240investment in willingness to be risk takers. And so I guess you can even kind of see this
00:22:34.220cultural difference when you compare longstanding families in, say, New England versus those in
00:22:43.460California who've been there for many generations. There's sort of a behavioral difference. And it's
00:22:48.380not, I think, just like the climate and the local businesses. They're very shaped by the
00:22:55.820evolutionary bottlenecks that are associated with those areas and so when when well okay so now to
00:23:02.820the question because somebody's gonna be asking they're gonna be like well if latin america was
00:23:05.680shaped by this as well like why is latin america like poor and corrupt and it's because they're
00:23:13.900catholic and catholic cultures are much more when they are in large countries they don't have this
00:23:21.420effect as much when their countries are very small but when they're in larger bureaucracies
00:23:24.980we'll do a separate episode on this just much more likely to be less innovative more poor and
00:23:29.540more corrupt if you have traveled extensively like i've lived in both latin america for a large part
00:23:35.340of my life and i've lived in italy for a large part of my life latin america in italy feel very
00:23:41.060very similar to each other latin america and spain feel very very similar to each other latin america
00:23:47.860and portugal feel very similar to each other latin america and ireland a lot of people don't know this
00:23:52.920because they haven't left like Dublin and looked at what actual Irish suburbs look like
00:23:56.660feels very very similar. I want you guys to give me examples of things that Catholics
00:24:02.180and Protestants have in common. God this is actually quite hard. Anything at all a small
00:24:08.780thing even. Okay so right. God I'm actually drawing a blank here to be honest. Uh Protestants
00:24:17.840sir richard okay so that's another difference and i'm not sure that's actually i mean is that true
00:24:24.060i would say so yeah i suppose that's fair enough so obviously you know i have my thoughts on that
00:24:32.320but we're talking about the selection effect from this the population the larger point of this
00:24:38.220episode is the population in europe even when you're talking about protestant populations in
00:24:42.320europe is is not the same as the population in the united states and i'll put some graphs on screen
00:24:47.300that i think are going to really illustrate this for people uh if you and i think you've seen this
00:24:51.940this graph simone this is a graph of u.s versus eu area gdp current prices in trillions of dollars
00:25:01.540and what you can see here is after 2007 europe's economy basically stopped growing whereas the u.s
00:25:09.740is differentially taking off and so people can say well why did it look like europe partially
00:25:15.820recovered after the war. And the main reason it looked like is because they were being propped up
00:25:19.740by a global innovative system headed by the United States. And they were profiting off of that due to
00:25:27.400one, the illusion caused by rebuilding after the war period and benefiting from a special
00:25:33.520relationship that Europe historically had with the United States. And as that special relationship
00:25:39.040degrades it is us cutting a chain on our legs off europe was dragging us back culturally and
00:25:49.520economically speaking they they stopped innovating a long time ago they stopped producing a long time
00:25:55.820ago and innovation going forwards in europe one due to the energy costs of trying to go green
00:26:02.340with everything putting on all these regulations doing stuff like what germany did taking down
00:26:06.360their nuclear stations is going to prevent massive AI development within Europe, which is the key to
00:26:12.080the future of human civilization. So, and the Muslims didn't do all that to them, right? And
00:26:16.540in addition to that, their bans on AI training on their data removes their cultural history
00:26:23.700from the evoked set of AI that are trained, right? And so they've already lost out of being part of
00:26:31.060the AI psyche. Whereas you're going to have America be part of the AI psyche. You're going
00:26:34.620have china be part of the ai psyche you even have islamic countries if you ask a guy about islamic
00:26:39.140type issues it goes really far into like a la akbar mode um and we'll start like ending every
00:26:45.280sentence with like a i know because i tried to like engage it about the quran and it like goes
00:26:49.500crazy that's so weird well i mean sort of convergent attractor states you know if our
00:26:57.720brains are operating similar to llms it would show that you can get islamic radical llms just
00:27:04.700by priming them to think like which is fascinating but anyway when people see something like europe
00:27:14.780rotting like this right and they go how do you view it like how do you see europe i see it the
00:27:24.440way predator would see it or something like that. Like when I'm looking at the future of human
00:27:28.600civilization, I am saying, okay, who are the relevant players who might be a useful ally
00:27:34.760and who might have territory or infrastructure that could be useful to the descendants of me
00:27:41.640and my useful allies and won't be able to defend it. The thing that Europe is creating right now
00:27:48.200is cultures that are unproductive and not able to defend themselves. So you can move into these
00:27:57.800cultures. This is also one of the ironic things about Islamic culture. And we'll get to this on
00:28:03.840the episode that we'll do more on Scott's Irish. But if you take Scott's Irish culture, this
00:28:20.120anti-do-things-our-way, low-culture-way, which in modern days looks nerdy and anime,
00:28:25.780but historically looked folk music and et cetera. You take this culture, right? This is how it has
00:28:32.140preserved itself against the urban monoculture. And it breeds and wins in the territories where
00:28:38.580bread and one by adopting like when they would move into Native American territories they just
00:28:43.540adopt their ways they then they were known differentially for doing this where the Puritans
00:28:47.900wouldn't now you'll note that Scots Irish culture has no Native American culture left in it but it
00:28:53.220was very aggressive at adopting it during this period so it adopted their ways where it had
00:28:58.680utility to them but stripping out a lot of the mysticism a lot of the woo because it's a very
00:29:03.300anti-woo sort of a culture. And because it didn't believe in accumulating large amounts of wealth,
00:29:10.020it stayed largely poor, which allowed it to spread, right? When you are okay with staying poor,
00:29:16.520unlike normal conquering populations, like say the Vikings or something like that, that didn't
00:29:20.300have a big genetic impact, you don't spread as quickly because you want to accumulate wealth
00:29:25.300from the local population. If you're okay with staying poor, then you're not doing that. You're
00:29:28.700intermarrying as fast as you can and then what did the culture end up doing is it ended up after they
00:29:35.020gained power the first president from this culture was andrew jackson attempting to wipe out the
00:29:39.980native population the population that they were being friendliest with well not friendly they
00:29:44.220would also kill them the most but they adopted their ways the most now if you're looking at
00:29:48.220something like a new like let's say muslim europe that would be incredibly susceptible like no
00:29:54.380culture on earth is as susceptible to a scots irish cultural tactic as islamic culture because
00:30:01.260it has techniques built into it that force it to accept non-muslim outsiders with some rules that
00:30:10.880make it harder for those people and so if you can stay innovative and technologically capable while
00:30:17.700staying higher fertility than them they in a lot of ways where people talk about like muslim
00:30:23.500immigration into europe just growing their population until they can replace the existing
00:30:27.500like then they grab the laws and they take hold of things yes but when they take hold of things
00:30:34.000they merely make it less pleasant for the existing population they don't take complete control of the
00:30:40.000geography and so that allows other minority populations to move into their territory and
00:30:44.800eventually out compete them which is a very interesting sort of phenomenon basically what
00:30:49.740i'm saying is yes europe is rotting but that only makes it easier for my future descendants
00:30:53.660to operate with impunity was in that territory and this is also you know when i look geopolitically
00:30:58.580this is this is the way i'm looking at the world right like looking at the future geopolitics of a
00:31:04.180region like the middle east and i say oh it's actually you know really good for the jewish
00:31:09.660population which does have a really high fertility rate and high economic and technological
00:31:14.520productivity right now the core reason they can't do whatever they want and they're basically
00:31:19.120realizing that they can do whatever they want now, is because the cultural force that was pushing
00:31:24.260against them is the European cultural force, which is now globally largely irrelevant, right?
00:31:31.340And you can also look within the United States or within the GOP, and you see the faction of the GOP
00:31:35.840pushing against this is the extremely low fertility Catholic integralist faction. People like, you
00:31:42.260know, Nick Fuentes and stuff like that, that just aren't genetically long-term relevant to the
00:31:46.560country are culturally long-term relevant to the country so if we're looking at like where
00:31:50.760relationships look moving forwards you're going to see increasingly strong players just acting
00:31:56.400with impunity against weak players i think this explained what seemed fairly paradoxical to people
00:32:02.820which is us being very supportive of israel in both the gaza and iranian wars but turning against
00:32:10.020Israel in the intermittent period when they started to be like, oh, I need money. I'm
00:32:16.160discriminated against. And I was like, oh, you're weak. That's pathetic. Get out. I don't want to
00:32:22.220be friends with you anymore. And I think that this is increasingly what we're going to see
00:32:27.080is a world where people who try to earn sympathy by showing off their weakness just earn disgust.
00:32:34.880And because this strategy worked for such a long time for so many groups, I think some people are going to take a long time to adjust to this and to come up with a new strategy.
00:32:47.520And they might end up getting hurt in the meantime because of this empathetic momentum that they've had to unlearn.
00:32:56.560this idea of global friendship that a portion of american culture that was dominant at the time
00:33:05.800post-war war ii like global capitalist world economy that's largely degrading i think was
00:33:11.960in the american mindset it's just in terms of anything we would want even even something like
00:33:16.880this war right now as i've pointed out iran's core strategy and people are like oh they're
00:33:21.160letting some chinese tankers through and it's like barely any are functionally going through even
00:33:26.680though they have technically let some through choking off the straighter vermute differentially
00:33:31.820hurts everyone other than america yes you hurt the global economy you hurt everyone but
00:33:37.040differentially that like few things could be better for the united states i mean that's why
00:33:42.420we've seen an explosion in the dollar and a big hit in the euro since this has happened and china
00:33:48.080economically panicking since this has happened because this is fundamentally a good thing for
00:33:55.400the united states if you're talking about us versus other people right now obviously it's a
00:34:01.780net law for everyone when you're talking about global economic reduction but but it that's also
00:34:07.060worth us being aware of in terms of how we act in the future and i think people when they look at
00:34:13.340the United States and they see America move more towards this MAGA mindset, part of what they're
00:34:19.700seeing is America moving more towards the frontiersman mindset and the Scotts-Irish
00:34:26.480mindset, which I think have been the better parts of American culture historically. And that it
00:34:31.700means that America is going to likely be more and more ruthless as it moves forwards in this sort
00:34:38.460of a context thoughts simone yeah i think i largely agree with you and i think it's under
00:34:45.580discussed one because the prenatalist movement is is accused frequently of being obsessed with
00:34:53.400the great replacement theory it's under discussed that prominent prenatalists including us kind of
00:34:59.580don't even see western civilization as existing in europe largely anymore because the parts of it
00:35:05.400that we felt were contributing to human betterment,
00:35:09.580one, have largely disappeared from Europe,
00:35:58.400It has a huge out-of-UK population within Europe, so I get to meet many other Europeans.
00:36:02.800And in addition to that, we get to go to things like we just got our ARC invitations again this year, which is like the big conservative conference for like elite conservative influencers in Europe.
00:36:14.780So I go to Europe and I see in the UK, I see what the quote unquote conservatives think and act like, and they are so blitheringly boring and they lack vitalism.
00:36:28.380And it's like a gray, disgusting slab. I mean, Simone, give me your thoughts on this.
00:36:35.860Yeah. Well, I mean, it's, it's just kind of, it's sad and depressing. And our favorite people in the
00:36:41.920UK, among them are included, weirdly, although not all of them are in the UK anymore, people who are
00:36:49.660either first or second generation immigrants to the UK. Yeah, that's true. They're among the few
00:36:56.740who are either themselves or from families of people who are again risk takers and willing to
00:37:01.280like move for opportunity when you've got to keep in mind like when i when i talk about people being
00:37:05.480like genetically risk-taking and you trace back like let's say my family history right like okay
00:37:11.500yes many parts of my family come from the very beginning of american history right like like the
00:37:19.120the first settlers but other parts of my family where where do they come from india wait malcolm
00:37:26.940you don't look indian what do you mean they came from india it's like because they were the first
00:37:31.700wave of calling immigrants to india set up in india then india became a less fun place to be
00:37:38.180a colonizer and then they moved to the united states because you know they they it was what's
00:37:44.020the hot what's the hot place to colonize today yeah um and so i i do think you see this sort of
00:37:50.200a predilection within some families culturally and genetically and so when she's talking about like
00:37:55.760europe being cut i really cannot overstate this you just feel this actually so sargon of akad is
00:38:04.240a channel that i really like i you know in the early days i really liked his content in terms
00:38:10.040of ideas, in terms of beginning to build the sort of new right movement that's evolved online.
00:38:15.620But when I watch his content today, if you see the energy and style with which it's delivered,
00:38:25.280I think you can really see and sort of in a highlighted way, see the difference between
00:38:30.460this American culture and this British culture, which is it's just sort of sad about the state
00:38:37.480of the world sort of a depressed resignment you know grit your upper teeth you know march through
00:38:43.840this aren't things terrible but or in contrast i i just don't see the irreverent enthusiasm
00:38:48.980there's not a lot of excitement about the future it's not a lot of activity damming it you know
00:38:55.160yeah like we're gonna take over let's take over europe let's take over wherever let's get it
00:39:01.740everything's gonna be ours soon we're gonna take the space this is gonna be amazing look at the
00:39:06.880progressives they have no kids we've already won what a fun day it is to be in a movement where
00:39:11.700we've already won and you don't you don't see that there and when you go to like their conferences
00:39:17.000what are they doing they're like they hand mewling over like pornography bans and stuff like that
00:39:23.280which as i've pointed out like the factions that need something like that that protect themselves
00:39:28.800through banning things rather than just you know telling their kids pornography will weed out the
00:39:34.540weak people. And if you can resist it, then good for you. Don't be weak. You know, use things like
00:39:39.940arousal. I've mentioned this in other episodes, but I think it's one of the most important
00:39:44.540cultural lessons that I would take away. Like if I was another person trying to learn how to get
00:39:49.500through the erotization of the internet and stuff like that with my kids is sexuality should be
00:39:55.480viewed the way that coyotes use it to lure out domestic dogs to kill and eat them, right? Like
00:40:02.140in that analogy be the kaya right use it against those who are weaker than you we have an episode
00:40:07.880that has never gone live called stop maxing our daughters which i should get up for one day
00:40:11.680but the point being is you can use your sexuality to win at specific games right and i mean i very
00:40:22.800much was doing that when i met you simone i was using you for money and labor this is true
00:40:27.220well you you know giving me your savings you let me live with you you and you were paying for the
00:40:34.440apartment and you i think we split did we split red i don't even remember ever for the one in
00:40:39.080alameda oh yeah no not not that one no yeah okay fair but the point here being is the there this
00:40:47.580is this is something you can functionally do and it is a way that you can functionally approach
00:40:52.320these things and that when you see sexuality that way the idea that you would want to protect
00:40:57.040yourself from it comes across as just such a fundamentally sort of prey perspective right
00:41:03.400well if we ban all of this and we ban all of this and we can be safe and our people can be safe
00:41:09.040instead of like no be stronger and if you are weak then you deserve the dust pin of history
00:41:14.800right but this is this is a different cultural perspective than you have in a place like the UK
00:41:19.840where it's like let's all band together to try to get through this and stiff upper lip and
00:41:25.460everything like that and it doesn't it doesn't work well against the urban monoculture it's very
00:41:30.060bad at resisting the urban monoculture and the the various cultural approaches that i've seen taken
00:41:34.620in germany and in places like france like there is a great institute in france that's fighting
00:41:40.260the urban monoculture oh yes yeah it's funding pro natalist initiatives and everything like that
00:41:45.540like really cool like it wouldn't it be cool if we had a giant amount of money to fund pro natalist
00:41:49.320initiative in the United States. But it's fundamentally playing with its hands tied behind
00:41:53.500the back, because it sees itself as collectivist and Catholic above all else. You know, very much
00:41:59.720like the old monarchism of France, instead of America's, you know, sort of cowboy enthusiasm,
00:42:06.800everybody out for themselves in the week deserve what happens to the week, right? And, and weak
00:42:12.320here can mean technologically, economically, but also comes to things like sexuality, as I've
00:42:17.160pointed out but this this mindset i do not think can fight against urban monoculture because any
00:42:24.680mindset that takes the collectivist like we all need to work together approach is very easy to
00:42:29.280infiltrate for a parasite that is specifically designed to eat and destroy bureaucracies or large
00:42:38.420structured bureaucracies thoughts simone no that makes sense it's it's sad but i think yeah i i
00:42:46.340This is the first time I've ever seen, as of this publication, seen a podcast talking about the fact that totally independent of immigration.
00:42:58.720Because everyone's like, immigration's ruining Europe.
00:43:01.060And they're totally missing the fact that you can totally remove all the immigration and you're still going to see a huge portion of the problem.
00:49:19.080I mean, like Brian Chow, who's there right now, that, that is one of the places where I would
00:49:23.520encourage young people of roughly like in their early to mid twenties who are not having yet put
00:49:29.640down roots to kind of just experience what it's like to kind of get warmed up on becoming itinerant
00:49:35.260and moving for opportunity. And I do think that going there is one of those things that will
00:49:39.200create more opportunity. If you are there for a short amount of time with like a sense of purpose
00:49:44.820and intent, I think just going there and hoping that your life is going to get figured out isn't
00:49:48.440a good idea. It's kind of like with LSD for treating mental disorders or like other hallucinogenic
00:49:53.740medications or substances. People who go in, and this is just what the scientific, the peer-reviewed
00:49:59.120scientific research says, if you just like trip, like with no intent, no guidance, et cetera, like
00:50:05.720you're not going to really make a lot of productive change mentally. But if you go in very intent
00:50:11.280driven, like, hey, I'm going to work on my PTSD. I'm going in with, you know, an expert who's going
00:50:15.420to help me kind of navigate this i'm going in to try to fix this and address this issue
00:50:18.880they can see really amazing results and that's kind of what this is is it is a a trip in
00:50:24.840career and disruption you're going to have to grow back from a techno feudalistic perspective
00:50:29.960if you want any hope of retaking anything i think that's the most realistic and the best
00:50:34.520practice session for that right now if you want something practical and actionable right now i
00:50:38.460say apply to network school let's do it yeah that's one thing i mean there's other things
00:50:43.440you could do apply to founders fun you if you're if you're young enough to do something like that
00:50:47.600apply to mercatus yeah on the emerge adventures yeah so yeah those those are just i think a lot
00:50:53.060more selective i'm just thinking if i was able to get into network school it can't be that bad
00:50:59.420simone you're an exceptionally intelligent person you were top of your class at cambridge
00:51:04.380like i know i do not understand how you you literally at her undergrad which is a giant
00:51:11.440american school gw she was literally top of her entire class simone you do not huge embarrassment
00:51:18.220for you it was a huge embarrassment but like they don't charge you to apply i'm just saying try it
00:51:26.540someone try it and if someone does try it like way in the comments i'm curious or has tried it
00:51:30.840because i i'm i'm very intrigued by it and i think it's a really great
00:51:34.360short-term opportunity for someone to get themselves unstuck from what might be an
00:51:40.160ossifying or like kind of bad place to be right now. And I don't know if I would want to be
00:51:45.440as a young 20 something in the UK or in Romania or Poland or Germany right now. Would you?
00:51:52.380No. Why are you like discouraging people from applying to network school? Because we can't
00:51:57.540offer them somewhere to stay. I don't know. I think there's other things they could apply to,
00:52:00.060but yeah, sure. Apply for an Emergent Ventures grant. If you have something interesting to pitch,
00:52:05.100apply for network school and yes, apply for some kind of founder's fun thing. And if you have a
00:52:09.000startup, apply for Y Combinator. Go for it. Absolutely. I totally agree with you. It's just
00:52:14.000that Y Combinator and their speedrun program and Emergent Ventures and Founders Fund, extremely,
00:52:19.280extremely, extremely small classes and extremely selective and also much more well-known. Whereas
00:52:24.380network state is one of those things that people haven't yet figured out yet. And so you want to
00:52:29.200get in before everyone knows about it. You want to buy your Tesla stock before it becomes a huge
00:52:35.480meme, right? This is the time to buy. I'm saying buy network state, sell founders. I like founders
00:52:42.360one too, but it's just that they're, they're overvalued now is like a, you know, an opportunity
00:52:46.760stock. Right. And, and I would say to sort of close this out, the wider point I'm making here
00:52:53.540is this view that people have towards whether it's per natalism or the new right or anything
00:53:00.580like that it's some sort of like pan white ethno you know anxiety movement is just at least from
00:53:09.700our perspective fundamentally wrong where i believe that there are ethnic and cultural
00:53:13.320differences between groups europe for example is a bigger enemy to my agenda than most other
00:53:21.080active players because they are the hive of the parasite right you know and as such and and they
00:53:28.040And it is within the white population that that parasite is most densely concentrated.
00:53:33.780And so, and the populations that if there are populations replacing them will simply be easier for my descendants to deal with if they decide to oppose them.
00:53:43.600You know, it's, that's just the way I see things globally, right?
00:53:47.740And I think this is an increasing view among the American right.
01:04:09.980I don't like the, I don't like the, because also this is exactly the dynamic that, that,
01:04:14.980that Jeffrey Epstein used to manipulate people when he wasn't using women.
01:04:20.000It is just as much as a low blow cheat code as whoring out women, which is whoring out access to fancy, famous people, high profile people.
01:04:33.220But that's that's the way society has always been structured.
01:04:37.800That is what the French court was. That is what the British court was.
01:04:40.920no no no it was different in fact the nobles didn't want to be there they were there because
01:04:45.920it was like how they got like access to important wealth and resources and and they were
01:04:50.840and you just said people don't like going to these events Simone that people don't actually
01:04:56.520like being there no man people have a blast at renaissance weekend and at dialogue and at
01:05:01.520hereticon and probably at sun valley and and clearly at the bohemian grove as long as they're
01:05:08.140sufficiently old and cute if you know what i mean just like oh what a camp it's like the the the
01:05:15.400wholesome boy scouts that everyone thinks is like an evil satanic ritual like for old men
01:05:20.960wholesome boy scouts for old men that everyone's like oh anyway i'll get started here yeah anyway
01:05:26.980okay i love you sorry i'm just i missed you yeah i missed you doing we hadn't recorded for a couple
01:05:33.660days because we had a documentary team here yeah all right what's happening mommy did a haircut
01:05:39.660and she made a kitten a kitten inside look it's a kitten
01:05:45.100oh meow meow okay let's not let's not destroy the kitten
