Based Camp - The Sexualization of Evil is a Modern Phenomenon... But Why？

00:00:00.000 The sirens in Greek myths were seen as beautiful, attractive, and evil. 0.55

00:00:07.060 Yes.

00:00:07.420 But the stories were not told in a way that was designed to titillate you and make you desire the sirens.

00:00:16.060 It was meant to teach you to be afraid of things that use beauty to attract people.

00:00:23.780 Well, I mean, I think they were trying to moralize and show that other people will use, like, seduce you for evil purposes. 0.99

00:00:34.960 Well, which is just stole your penis while you were asleep or something. 1.00

00:00:37.940 It wasn't like they seduced your penis. 1.00

00:00:40.020 I thought, like, look, I don't know, it could be a rumor, but some people are saying there's a few women in this town that steal penises. 1.00

00:00:51.040 I'd be like... 0.98

00:00:52.100 Let's put together commission, people.

00:00:54.120 We need to investigate.

00:00:55.660 I know it's probably not true, but better safe than sorry, right, guys?

00:01:00.920 Safe than sorry.

00:01:03.040 Am I right?

00:01:03.860 I mean, look, look, look, that old crony panhandler lady, does she really contribute that much to the economy? 1.00

00:01:11.960 Is it worth risking our penises than this ultra-lefty mindset? 1.00

00:01:17.780 Ugly meant morally good. 0.99

00:01:21.320 Yeah.

00:01:21.520 Beautiful meant morally evil.

00:01:26.200 However, these people are still humans, right?

00:01:29.780 And they still are more aroused by things that are beautiful.

00:01:33.360 So they need to uglify them within a context.

00:01:37.220 Holy smokes.

00:01:38.540 Would you like to know more?

00:01:39.840 Hello, Simone. 0.69

00:01:40.700 I'm excited to be here with you today.

00:01:42.180 Today we are going to discuss an interesting phenomenon, and it is interesting both in how lazily people dismiss it as a phenomenon.

00:01:52.500 Okay.

00:01:52.860 And in its implications for both our current culture, our evolutionary history, and humanity more broadly.

00:02:00.380 Specifically, what I am talking about here is the modern phenomenon of evil things or things that were historically evil being coded as sexy.

00:02:15.300 Whether it's vampires or werewolves or witches.

00:02:22.300 And the first thing people will say is, of course evil things are sexy.

00:02:27.680 But they weren't always.

00:02:28.480 The forbidden thing is sexy.

00:02:29.760 And I know two things.

00:02:30.980 One, patently not true.

00:02:32.640 We discuss it in our book.

00:02:33.700 It's, we'll get to the forbidden sexy wrongness.

00:02:37.280 It's just wrong.

00:02:38.240 Yeah.

00:02:38.460 I mean, two, it wasn't always the case.

00:02:40.760 In most cultures throughout history, even our own, evil wasn't sexy until like the 80s, maybe?

00:02:52.400 Like, okay, take something like vampires, right?

00:02:55.540 Yeah.

00:02:55.720 Original Dracula was not a snack.

00:02:58.400 Like, well, not just that, but you look at the revitalization of vampires with Nosferatu, right?

00:03:06.660 Yeah.

00:03:06.880 Like, like that was the popular vampire of, when was Nosferatu popular?

00:03:12.380 But also Dracula himself was not attractive for my memory.

00:03:19.000 Like in the book, in Bram Stoker's book, and in, of course, the original old movies.

00:03:23.580 Was Interview with a Vampire really the first movie to sexualize vampirism?

00:03:30.100 Yeah, I think Interview with a Vampire was, well, so keep in mind, Interview with a Vampire was done off of a book that had already become popular that was sexualizing vampires.

00:03:37.920 Yeah.

00:03:38.340 So as much as a culture nerd as I am, I wasn't going to trust my off-the-head memory of was there any mainstream sexually charged vampire movies before Interview with a Vampire?

00:03:49.440 So I went to AI to ask, and I got two mainstream sexually charged vampire movies, or this is, I guess it shows how mainstream this was before this.

00:04:00.100 One was the 1970s The Vampire Lovers.

00:04:03.960 This hammer horror film explicitly portrayed lesbian vampires and was quite sexually charged for its time.

00:04:08.640 And then the 1972 Blackula, this blaxploitation film, featured a suave, sexually appealing vampire protagonist. 0.82

00:04:15.840 Yes, I only hunt blackulas. 0.94

00:04:17.440 Man, I specialize in hunting black vampires. I don't know what the PC name for that is.

00:04:22.120 And I'm sure you can tell these are not at all cultural phenomenons in the way that Interview with a Vampire was.

00:04:27.860 So it does appear that Interview with a Vampire was the cultural inflection point to sexy vampires being a mainstream concept.

00:04:35.260 No, well, vampires were sexualized.

00:04:38.420 There was a scene, for example, in the original Dracula book by Bram Stoker, in which women vampires in Dracula's castle were like, I don't know, kind of leering at the poor.

00:04:55.580 Here is the thing about the Bram Stoker Dracula sexualization of evil, is it was very similar to, like, sirens, historically.

00:05:06.380 Sirens and Greek myths were seen as beautiful, attractive, and evil.

00:05:34.900 But the stories were not told in a way that was designed to titillate you and make you desire the sirens.

00:05:44.240 It was meant to teach you to be afraid of things that use beauty to attract people.

00:05:52.000 If you look at modern iterations of this, they are not treated like the sirens of old.

00:06:01.200 It is about glorifying the raw sexuality associated with some acts of evil.

00:06:11.240 As we see an interview with a vampire.

00:06:14.000 And this is also a really interesting thing of this phenomenon.

00:06:16.580 I mentioned this to someone, and they're like, oh, well, you know, Twilight, because this is what they go to in this generation.

00:06:22.580 They're like, Twilight, you know, they're not really that evil, right?

00:06:25.200 Like, they don't, like...

00:06:26.520 Well, there are the good vampires, and there are the evil vampires.

00:06:32.380 It depends on what action you're in.

00:06:34.160 The movie that really created this genre, I would say, like, really, really, really, really set it in stone, was...

00:06:43.280 It's not the first.

00:06:44.360 I don't know, it was Dusk Till Dawn before this...

00:06:46.140 Let's see if you taste as good as your brother. 1.00

00:06:52.500 F*** you. 1.00

00:07:11.680 But the... 1.00

00:07:13.640 was Interview with a Vampire. 0.94

00:07:14.920 And Interview with a Vampire, these guys are unmitigatedly evil. 1.00

00:07:22.100 Killing innocent children evil. 1.00

00:07:24.660 Enjoying killing random people for fun evil. 1.00

00:07:31.000 Claudia. 0.99

00:07:32.260 Claudia! 0.58

00:07:33.620 What have you done?

00:07:35.220 What did you tell me to do?

00:07:37.160 You leave a corpse here to rot?

00:07:38.560 I wanted her!

00:07:39.680 I wanted to meet her!

00:07:41.440 She's not! 1.00

00:07:43.020 Glad.

00:07:43.640 I made you what you are. 0.93

00:07:47.200 You'd be dead now if I hadn't. 1.00

00:07:49.380 Let that damned corpse... 1.00

00:07:51.140 Now get rid of it! 1.00

00:07:53.080 You get rid of it.

00:07:55.660 There is no genuine redemption of them as any sort of a good thing.

00:08:03.000 Outside of, they care for other vampires sometimes, and whiz conditions.

00:08:09.800 That is the totality of their plot development as characters, okay?

00:08:16.260 And I would note, this is not me shitting on the movie.

00:08:18.720 I actually love Interview with a Vampire.

00:08:20.500 I think it's fantastic.

00:08:22.720 It's long.

00:08:24.760 But everyone in it's really good.

00:08:26.280 Young Kirsten Dunst is amazing in it. 0.83

00:08:28.040 It's like Braveheart good.

00:08:30.480 Like, I consider it like a true classic level good.

00:08:34.000 And I would note that in this period, you had other iterations of this.

00:08:37.560 It wasn't just vampires.

00:08:38.680 It was like witches as well.

00:08:40.300 So, you know, somebody was like, well, you know, again, not evil.

00:08:43.760 And I point out something like The Craft, right?

00:08:45.820 The Craft was an early movie that really, really glorified the Wiccan movement. 0.98

00:09:07.380 You're a witch! 0.99

00:09:10.320 They were right. 0.99

00:09:11.760 Nancy, come on. 1.00

00:09:12.500 Get off the bed.

00:09:13.000 Let's go. 0.99

00:09:13.720 She's a witch too, you know. 0.99

00:09:14.920 And the only reason you're in love with her is because she cast a spell on you.

00:09:19.500 No.

00:09:20.960 Yes.

00:09:22.080 Sad, but true.

00:09:23.840 Nancy, get off the bed. 1.00

00:09:25.240 Look, you scared the shit out of him. 0.89

00:09:26.560 Thank you very much.

00:09:27.540 Let's go.

00:09:28.680 No.

00:09:29.540 He's got to pay.

00:09:31.800 You're just jealous.

00:09:34.020 Jealous?

00:09:34.420 You don't even exist to me. 0.99

00:09:37.860 You are nothing. 1.00

00:09:41.000 You are shit. 1.00

00:09:43.140 You don't exist. 1.00

00:09:48.100 Yeah.

00:09:48.700 But also unironically said that the Wiccan movement had an evil component to it.

00:09:53.400 Yes.

00:09:53.700 The core antagonist of the movie is one of the members.

00:09:57.040 Or before The Craft, if you want to talk about, like, people are like, yeah, witches aren't sexy. 0.98

00:10:01.980 Who said, like, people were trying to sexualize witches? 1.00

00:10:03.920 I am beautiful.

00:10:07.980 Boys will love me.

00:10:09.480 Hey, Cupcake, don't I get your phone number, your area code?

00:10:11.880 You want my route schedule?

00:10:13.400 Oh, thou wouldst hate me in the morning.

00:10:15.800 No, I wouldn't still believe me thou wouldst.

00:10:18.660 Party pooper.

00:10:20.620 Hocus Pocus.

00:10:21.260 What?

00:10:22.020 Oh.

00:10:22.300 Hocus Pocus. 0.99

00:10:22.760 These are unironically evil witches. 0.98

00:10:26.340 Yeah. 1.00

00:10:26.440 And it is, they kill children. 0.99

00:10:30.000 Only one of them is sexualized. 0.99

00:10:32.560 But she's really sexualized. 1.00

00:10:35.620 And not in a way where she is like a siren sexualized.

00:10:40.500 Where the sexuality is seen as something very... 1.00

00:10:42.860 No, she's just dumb blonde sexualized. 1.00

00:10:45.260 Yeah. 0.99

00:10:45.460 And you can contrast that with earlier representation of witches, even in fairly modern periods,

00:10:52.000 like what's the one I'm thinking of here?

00:10:53.280 Witches, right?

00:10:54.080 That's what it's called.

00:10:55.420 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 0.97

00:10:56.780 They were all gross and scary. 0.72

00:11:03.300 The doors! 0.98

00:11:04.960 Are they locked and balded? 1.00

00:11:12.040 Miserable witches. 1.00

00:11:13.060 You're a good-for-nothing world. 1.00

00:11:17.540 Everywhere, Arlo. 0.90

00:11:18.620 I see the repulsive side of hundreds. 0.97

00:11:23.240 Of revolting little children. 0.95

00:11:26.260 I ask you.

00:11:28.800 Why?

00:11:30.180 One child a week is no good to me.

00:11:33.400 We will do better.

00:11:35.280 There is no good either.

00:11:38.560 My orders are...

00:11:40.060 Every single child eliminated.

00:11:46.020 Do I make myself clear?

00:11:49.400 Yeah.

00:11:49.660 Is that the right word?

00:11:50.520 Yeah.

00:11:51.040 I guess. 0.94

00:11:51.440 And there is not a ounce of sexuality in those witches. 1.00

00:11:56.120 No, yeah. 0.99

00:11:56.520 They're extremely...

00:11:57.940 Yeah, first they're Karens and then they're witches. 0.86

00:11:59.940 There's nothing sexual there.

00:12:02.040 No, I actually love that. 0.98

00:12:03.540 Karens are all witches.

00:12:04.860 Just assume all Karens are witches. 1.00

00:12:06.640 That is the takeaway of witches. 1.00

00:12:10.000 Thanks, Mr. Doll. 0.86

00:12:10.860 Just imagine every parent you ever meet is secretly a witch and stay away from her. 0.99

00:12:14.120 But, and people might dismiss this.

00:12:15.780 They might be like, well, that was a children's movie and the protagonists of that were children.

00:12:20.980 So how could they...

00:12:21.360 So was Hocus Pocus.

00:12:22.960 Oh my gosh.

00:12:23.400 And they're like, Hocus Pocus, mother...

00:12:25.120 And Hocus Pocus is also, like, quite...

00:12:28.380 I don't know if it could have been made today because actually the bigger sexual theme is with the adolescent male protagonist.

00:12:36.940 Being a virgin.

00:12:38.220 It will raise spirits of the dead when lit by a virgin on Halloween night. 1.00

00:12:42.800 What happened?

00:12:45.320 A virgin lit the candle.

00:12:48.700 And he's a virgin. 0.75

00:12:49.680 No, being also super hot for the female, like, of his, like, female co-lead, I guess.

00:12:59.360 The girl at his high school.

00:13:00.620 Yeah.

00:13:00.940 First he hits on her and she turns him down. 1.00

00:13:03.620 And then finally, you know, they start their misadventure with his little sister in tow who, to embarrass her older brother,

00:13:11.680 points out how his, her older brother comments on her, what did she call them?

00:13:18.780 Like, Kazanga's boob? 0.82

00:13:20.840 Like, something. 0.99

00:13:21.520 Like, she, she talks about, like, the words that he uses to describe her boobs.

00:13:25.940 By the way, Dani, I love your costume.

00:13:28.140 I really like yours, too.

00:13:29.360 I couldn't wear anything like that because I don't have any...

00:13:32.240 What do you call them, Max?

00:13:34.200 Yabos? 0.94

00:13:35.500 Max likes your yabos.

00:13:37.900 In fact, he loves them. 1.00

00:13:39.540 And then she also imitates him masturbating to her in the movie. 0.99

00:13:47.900 Really? 0.99

00:13:48.460 I'm pretty sure, yeah.

00:13:49.800 So, it's, it's a little racy.

00:13:51.900 It's a little racy. 0.98

00:13:52.400 Wait, if you had known that a guy had masturbated to you in high school, like, what would your reaction to that be? 0.98

00:14:00.460 An eye roll, I guess? 0.98

00:14:03.260 Yeah, like, go ahead.

00:14:05.140 It's, it's just, it's just, I'm just pointing out how racy that movie was.

00:14:08.180 One thing that I want to square with you, though, on this whole, well, witches used to be not sexy, was also still the interplay of evil with sex. 0.98

00:14:17.620 Now, Dracula wasn't sexy, but he would enter women's rooms at night and suck their blood. 1.00

00:14:24.640 Witches weren't sexy, but they would steal your penis. 1.00

00:14:28.020 And that was a big deal. 0.99

00:14:28.980 And historically speaking, you had things like succubi, you had things like incubus, which were, you know, even during the medieval period, these were, if you look at medieval art, they were not supposed to be beautiful, but they used sexuality to seduce men.

00:14:45.080 Yeah, I guess, was it, was it just that then they were trying to moralize and show that sexuality is gross and yucky?

00:14:53.820 Well, I mean, I think they were trying to moralize and show that other people will use, like, seduce you for evil purposes. 1.00

00:15:00.680 Well, witches just stole your penis while you were asleep or something. It wasn't like they seduced your penis off. 1.00

00:15:06.000 Yeah, but if you buy an incubus, it would make you have, like, wet dreams. 0.99

00:15:08.180 Yeah, but people, there were more, there were more materials about how do we deal with the witch problem and find witches than there were materials about how do we deal with the succulent people. 0.99

00:15:16.960 I mean, I, I thought, like, look, I don't know, it could be a rumor, but some people are saying there's a few women in this town that steal penises. 1.00

00:15:28.100 I'd be like. 0.99

00:15:29.260 Let's put together commission, people.

00:15:31.360 We need to investigate.

00:15:32.820 I know it's probably not true, but better safe than sorry, right, guys?

00:15:37.900 I mean, look, look, look, that old crony panhandler lady, I, did she really contribute that much to the economy? 1.00

00:15:52.220 Is it worth risking our penises? 0.99

00:15:56.860 So I, yeah, no, so I'm, I, I. 0.98

00:15:59.660 No, but how do you square this?

00:16:01.040 How do you square that close association with evil and sexuality in the past, despite the fact that these people weren't presented as.

00:16:07.760 Because it's not the same thing.

00:16:10.180 Sirens to sexuality, incubi and succubus to sexuality were purely malevolent and to be avoided.

00:16:19.460 They were not dark and attractive.

00:16:21.580 And here we need to talk about the misconception.

00:16:25.820 Banned things are attractive.

00:16:28.660 Okay.

00:16:29.420 Yes.

00:16:30.220 Myth.

00:16:30.340 It's not the pragmatist guide to sexuality.

00:16:32.340 It's a complete myth.

00:16:34.060 You can look at correlations around how banned an activity is to how likely it is to turn somebody on.

00:16:42.440 And there's basically almost no correlation.

00:16:46.400 The mistake that people make here is they think about the things that turn them on that they're not allowed to talk about.

00:16:52.460 And all of those things are banned.

00:16:55.720 And then they assume banned things, turn them on.

00:16:59.660 So let me give an example here, right?

00:17:02.740 You know, fire, right?

00:17:04.160 Or jumping off a cliff.

00:17:05.980 Like these are things that are banned for good reasons.

00:17:08.900 Like jumping in a fire or jumping off a cliff.

00:17:11.780 Okay.

00:17:13.240 There's no community that these things turn on.

00:17:16.280 Right.

00:17:16.800 Or, okay, think about something that's like actively like super shamed. 1.00

00:17:22.240 Like digging up a dead body and having sex with it. 0.99

00:17:25.640 Right. 0.99

00:17:26.640 Like to you, the average viewer, that is a super banned thing.

00:17:30.740 Do you have any desire to do that?

00:17:33.000 Like has it ever crossed your mind that that would be a hot thing to do despite how banned it is?

00:17:39.820 No.

00:17:40.080 The idea that the level to which something is banned is correlated with how hot it is, is a fiction created by people who are just thinking about what turns them on that they're not allowed to talk about and how banned those things are instead of correlating all banned activities to sexual profiles.

00:18:02.500 So that doesn't explain it.

00:18:04.340 I think you, Simone, got part of it here.

00:18:10.080 The part of it is, is that these things were already tied to sexuality, but they hadn't been morally elevated as an okay to be tied to sexuality yet.

00:18:22.080 Oh, so you think this correlates with societal comfort with sexuality in general?

00:18:27.820 Because that's kind of what happened around this, like starting at the 60s, sexuality became more okay.

00:18:32.860 That is one thing that did change.

00:18:34.300 I actually think it's tied to something we have talked about in other episodes, which is the inversion of moral frameworks.

00:18:43.080 So let's talk about this.

00:18:45.020 Okay.

00:18:45.500 In the past, if you go to the 80s and 90s, the way the right, which was the dominant cultural force in America at that time, motivated its voters was a disgust-based moral framework.

00:18:59.000 Things that disgust you are morally reprehensible and bad.

00:19:03.300 We've talked about this a lot in our Disgust to Cringe to Vitalism Framework video.

00:19:07.800 I don't need to go further on how this framework died out or anything like that.

00:19:12.580 Watch our video on it if that's what you're interested in.

00:19:14.780 But the origins of wokeness were brewing in this time period.

00:19:18.960 And you see this in movies like Starship Troopers, which we'll talk about.

00:19:23.060 One of our best videos ever made is the Starship Troopers video.

00:19:25.220 We argued that it's actually the best argument for conservative values ever made, specifically because it was made by a progressive.

00:19:30.720 But during this time, progressives reacted to this by saying, well, if they think disgusting is the sign of something's evilness, then I'm going to think disgust is a sign of something's goodness, right?

00:19:47.360 Okay.

00:19:47.980 And this is why Vanderhoeven, when he was making Starship Troopers, he's like, I assumed everyone would know it was fascist and evil because I chose only attractive actors.

00:19:56.020 Right.

00:19:56.600 And you're like, wait, what?

00:19:58.120 You thought attractive actors were a sign of obvious evil.

00:20:03.300 But in his world, even back then, in this ultra-lefty mindset, ugly meant morally good.

00:20:14.060 Yeah.

00:20:15.220 Beautiful meant morally evil.

00:20:18.820 However, these people are still humans, right?

00:20:22.420 And they still are more aroused by things that are beautiful.

00:20:25.500 So they need to uglify them within a context.

00:20:29.960 Holy smokes.

00:20:31.180 Okay.

00:20:31.380 I see where you're going with this.

00:20:32.460 How fascinating.

00:20:33.780 But it gets more interesting than that.

00:20:35.400 At the same time as this inversion began to come about, a secondary inversion began to come about, which is the moral sanctity of a group was not determined by their action or their ideology.

00:20:49.500 It was determined by how weak they were.

00:20:58.900 Oh.

00:20:59.420 And we saw this once when people were talking about how they knew that we were bad guys.

00:21:04.340 They say, you are bad guys.

00:21:05.780 You must be white supremacists because you name your kids with Roman names, like Octavian. 0.97

00:21:11.660 And I'm like, the Romans conquered my people, buddy. 0.92

00:21:14.180 Like, what are you talking about?

00:21:16.800 Like, the Romans, I do not consider them a white ethnic group, first of all.

00:21:21.020 They were a Mediterranean ethnic group that conquered the Northern European ethnic groups.

00:21:25.800 But they did great things, okay?

00:21:28.520 They are, for me, worthy of admiration, even if they conquered my savage ancestors.

00:21:36.800 The angle of the arrow wounds show the man is isolated and shot from close range.

00:21:41.840 The evidence leaves McKinley with little doubt why the man's life is taken.

00:21:46.680 To be buried in that ditch at Stonehenge with the injuries he has suggests we have a sacrificial victim.

00:21:54.260 Prepare to defend the eagle.

00:22:11.840 Because of their cultural, technological, philosophical, and literary accomplishments,

00:22:32.540 because of their ability to exercise military force on their neighbors in a civilizing way,

00:22:40.320 that is something worthy of admiration in my perspective, right?

00:22:47.460 But, to them, the opposite is true.

00:22:50.620 When they look for groups to lionize, they will look at, you know, like we had with,

00:22:57.120 whatever was her name, like Bambi Slaughter or Savage Bambi or something. 1.00

00:23:01.440 In the Eurovision, the one who is all like anti-Israel and with a witch and like, 0.99

00:23:05.320 I'm a witch and I'm queer! 0.91

00:23:06.740 What makes me special?

00:23:13.620 Come on! Come on! 0.56

00:23:17.960 Do you know, do you know what makes me special?

00:23:21.560 I'm a queer. 0.67

00:23:23.600 And I'm a witch!

00:23:25.380 She looks angry.

00:23:38.400 Face like that, I'd be angry too. 1.00

00:23:40.680 You shut up. 0.97

00:23:41.800 And you see this, they genuinely do, in the way that they retell history, 0.98

00:23:48.860 always lionize the weaker party.

00:23:51.280 The weaker party was the just party.

00:23:55.060 You know, you look at early American history and you look at all the,

00:23:58.580 I will say that it was a very morally complicated time,

00:24:02.200 but I think to frame, for example, the settlers as just a morally negative force

00:24:07.400 in their interactions with the Native Americans is anti-historic.

00:24:11.380 There were good Native American tribes from a modern moral perspective.

00:24:17.000 Or you could put it differently.

00:24:18.440 You could say there were peaceful or more peaceful tribes.

00:24:22.680 There were more peaceful tribes and then tribes that were dramatically more savage than the colonists.

00:24:29.440 Yeah.

00:24:29.660 And yet that's just not talked about.

00:24:31.280 It's not talked about how many colonist children were graped and murdered.

00:24:35.120 It's not talked about how many of them were skinned because what is scalping other than being skinned alive?

00:24:41.360 It's not...

00:24:41.860 Well, there were worse things that they did.

00:24:43.360 There were much worse things that they did.

00:24:45.320 Oh, yes.

00:24:46.040 Pulling them apart was clamshells.

00:24:48.860 Yeah.

00:24:49.380 You remember that one?

00:24:49.800 Yeah, the clamshell thing is what I'm thinking of.

00:24:52.280 Yeah.

00:24:52.600 They took clamshells and nipped off their skin until they died. 0.71

00:24:56.260 No.

00:24:56.900 God, it was a little different than that.

00:24:59.180 But it was something about clamshells while you're alive and then something else bad happens.

00:25:03.680 And it, yeah, I think it mostly involved being skinned alive. 0.79

00:25:07.340 Yeah.

00:25:08.060 Yeah.

00:25:20.120 The point being,

00:25:33.340 is that history is morally complex, but generally when I'm looking to the groups I'm lionizing,

00:25:40.780 I'm looking to the groups that won in a historic context.

00:25:44.100 I'm looking to the groups that produced more philosophical works, that produced more technological

00:25:49.280 works, and that ultimately were able to, through multiple measures, have their culture survive.

00:25:57.040 And again, these aren't necessarily my ancestors.

00:25:59.760 My ancestors were conquered and civilized by the Romans, not the other way around.

00:26:05.860 Okay.

00:26:06.440 Look at, look at my skin.

00:26:07.900 I'm not a descendant of Romans.

00:26:09.820 I can look at my 23andMe.

00:26:10.900 I'm not a descendant of Romans.

00:26:12.060 Yet, I respect them.

00:26:13.340 I respect the ancient Greeks.

00:26:14.900 I respect the ancient Egyptians, even.

00:26:17.040 I respect the ancient Persians. 0.98

00:26:18.980 When I read something, probably the closest ancient work to my ancestors is what's a dumb 0.92

00:26:24.080 work, Beowulf. 0.99

00:26:25.460 Beowulf is retarded. 1.00

00:26:27.200 It is not something that I would lionize at all. 0.99

00:26:29.880 It's boring.

00:26:30.800 It doesn't have interesting messages in it.

00:26:33.940 It is the work of a savage people. 0.99

00:26:36.880 But what were you going to say, Simone?

00:26:38.820 I'm just looking up how the Powhatan tribe typically use torture in their conflicts.

00:26:43.800 But where this gets interesting is in a modern context.

00:26:47.280 So in a modern context, you see something like the lefties supporting Hamas, right?

00:26:53.880 Yeah.

00:26:54.180 And I literally think that the driver of this support is the group's weakness when contrast

00:27:02.860 with their rival.

00:27:03.400 Because you look at Israel. 0.62

00:27:04.720 Israel's like the most pro-LGBT state in the Middle East.

00:27:08.740 They are the most diverse state in the Middle East in terms of like actual, people can be

00:27:14.500 like, well, you know, there's other diverse states.

00:27:16.660 Yeah, there's other diverse states where like the outsiders are basically treated like slaves,

00:27:20.340 you know, whether you're talking about like Qatar or the UAE.

00:27:23.360 But no, Israel isn't like that.

00:27:25.680 There might be slight differences based on, you know, whether or not you are Jewish or

00:27:30.980 Muslim, but it is nothing compared to the rest of the Middle East. 1.00

00:27:35.000 Nothing, nothing, nothing.

00:27:36.620 This is a beacon of everything the left says that they value.

00:27:42.660 And yet they denigrate it.

00:27:44.600 And they rise up, the people who are throwing LGBT people off roofs, who say that their plan 0.97

00:27:50.220 is to systemically eradicate an entire ethnic group, you know, from the river to the sea. 0.98

00:27:56.500 And, and by the way, the, the, the Arab version of that phrase is from the river to the sea 0.82

00:28:00.420 only Arab.

00:28:01.440 Like it's, it's, it's very clear.

00:28:03.140 Like the way that this has been whitewashed.

00:28:04.840 Well, but with Jewish slaves, let's not forget that necessary amount of the plan. 1.00

00:28:09.520 Yeah.

00:28:09.740 The, the, the original plan was that they would enslave the Jewish people, at least the technically 0.97

00:28:14.280 competent ones, and then just kill any of the ones that were involved in the war. 0.98

00:28:17.980 They wouldn't be allowed to live free. 1.00

00:28:19.580 Of course they would live, you know, they are genuinely monstrous, genuinely monstrous.

00:28:25.400 And people can be like, well, the people of Gaza are not Hamas.

00:28:30.020 And I'm like, yeah, well, the people of Gaza both voted for Hamas at a higher rate than

00:28:37.480 the people of Germany voted for the Nazi party.

00:28:39.740 And they support Hamas at a higher rate than the people of Germany supported the Nazi party.

00:28:44.320 To that one hapless subscriber of this podcast, who's now become an instant unsubscriber who

00:28:50.100 supports Palestine.

00:28:50.640 Right, you know, there was one person that was like, I support Palestine.

00:28:53.220 And I was kicked off of Reddit for supporting Palestine. 0.92

00:28:55.760 So I'm based.

00:28:57.000 And, you know, he's wrong to say that like Kamala Harris is more fascist than Donald Trump.

00:29:01.920 And I'm like, oh my God.

00:29:04.020 Yeah, but it's this moral inflection that we see on the left, which I find really, really

00:29:09.500 fascinating.

00:29:11.360 What are your thoughts before I go further?

00:29:15.800 This makes a lot of sense.

00:29:17.900 At least it clicks into the broader theory of, oh, everyone, like characters, kids book

00:29:25.460 illustrations, all these people have been made progressively uglier and weaker over time,

00:29:30.740 that that is supposed to be equated with good, that some people even see it as a perversion

00:29:35.840 of Christian values, that the meek shall inherit the earth and that, you know, being strong and

00:29:40.920 wealthy is a bad thing, which I don't know, I could see that sort of being how some people

00:29:49.940 justify this theme.

00:29:52.140 It just it fits in very neatly with that philosophy and that to be powerful, to be strong, to be

00:29:58.060 wealthy, to be sexy is to be evil.

00:30:00.920 So it would make sense that evil characters are monsters and sexy and that we still want

00:30:09.540 sexy and beautiful.

00:30:10.960 So we just watch them.

00:30:11.940 I'm actually going to reframe this for you because I do not think that one, this is definitely

00:30:19.400 not downstream Christianity. 0.81

00:30:20.480 Anybody who says that is just insane.

00:30:21.780 It's downstream of a reaction against disgust based morality.

00:30:25.900 But when you well, and the moral system of wokeism, which is to say, all differences between

00:30:35.680 populations are primarily due to discrimination.

00:30:39.360 And that being the case, the more a group is out competing other groups, the more evil

00:30:45.720 they are at an intrinsic level.

00:30:47.460 This is why leftism always ends in anti-Semitism, because Jewish populations for cultural reasons 1.00

00:30:52.860 out compete their neighbors.

00:30:54.000 And so it's always going to lead to them denigrating that population, because there is no explanation 0.97

00:31:00.900 for group differences other than discrimination or, you know, Asian populations.

00:31:04.420 We did our Asians aren't actually that much smarter video, but Asian teens study on average

00:31:09.280 11 more hours a week than white teens.

00:31:13.020 Yet that cannot be within the urban monocultures explanation or justification for allowing a disproportionately

00:31:20.200 Asian population to get into our university system or to get into positions of power, because 0.99

00:31:26.600 there can be no explanation for group differences other than oppression.

00:31:31.420 And when that is discrimination and unfair rigging of the system in one group's favor.

00:31:36.040 And so when that's taken into account, well, now you have this framework where powerful is

00:31:43.300 a genuine and honest signal of evil.

00:31:49.680 And God, there was a secondary point I really wanted to make here.

00:31:53.020 How does this relate to vampires, which is everything like that, right?

00:31:56.240 Okay.

00:31:58.520 If you as a vampire have to be worried about the public finding out who you are, right?

00:32:04.220 It doesn't matter that you kill innocent people, or it doesn't matter the effects that has

00:32:09.400 on other people.

00:32:10.000 It doesn't matter because you are not in control because you are afraid about your identity being

00:32:16.780 revealed.

00:32:18.740 All moral acts are excusable and a sign of personal defiance and an honest and good defiance to

00:32:29.060 the extent where I think you see this reflected in Hamas, right?

00:32:33.040 It doesn't matter that you great children. 0.99

00:32:35.260 It doesn't matter that you behead babies. 0.98

00:32:37.380 It doesn't matter that you, and by the way, to the progressives who think that story was 0.98

00:32:40.660 a myth.

00:32:41.300 No, it was the number of babies that were beheaded that was being talked about.

00:32:46.160 There was baby beheading definitely happening because you gang-graped people to death. 0.99

00:32:53.580 You know, that doesn't mean anything because you are the weaker one. 0.90

00:32:56.720 So you get to do whatever you want whenever you want to do it.

00:33:01.040 And that is morally justifiable.

00:33:03.040 And so I think that that is where you get this covered.

00:33:09.800 But I think we want to talk about a secondary thing here, which is really interesting, which

00:33:16.420 is the way that progressive women have begun to relate to dominance due to overly sexualizing 0.99

00:33:23.600 themselves.

00:33:24.440 We've talked about this in other episodes, but it appears that there would have been two

00:33:27.780 core sexual strategies women could opt into in a historic context. 0.52

00:33:31.300 The one is for monogamous relationships, but the other is if you are a sex slave being 0.95

00:33:36.260 passed around.

00:33:37.280 This happened a lot in a historic context.

00:33:39.920 We see it in both literature sources and from DNA records.

00:33:43.060 And you would likely need to not hate that that's happening to you if you're going to

00:33:46.980 survive.

00:33:47.980 Then how does your body know which situation it's in?

00:33:50.240 It knows based on how many partners you have.

00:33:52.000 And we have mentioned based on Aila's data, we see this in her data as well.

00:33:54.980 The more partners somebody has as a female, the more they're into violence-based sexuality. 1.00

00:33:59.980 And so part of what we might be seeing here is a preference for violence-based sexuality

00:34:04.920 due to the promiscuity of the female population. 1.00

00:34:08.180 And this is an outlet to engage with morally sanctified violence-based sexuality.

00:34:14.140 That's one thing, right?

00:34:16.260 But then the second thing is, is I think women don't know how to relate to dominance anymore.

00:34:23.000 If you see moral dominance, i.e. a male who is just a dominant, caring figure who helps

00:34:31.880 you and open doors for you and is there for you, as a sign of some sort of moral failing,

00:34:37.080 as many do.

00:34:37.820 So you cannot be aroused by, you know, astronaut Mike Dexter, because he's a bad guy, right?

00:34:47.000 Like he plays by the rules.

00:34:48.920 How do you, where bad guy is defined by what I think you and I would call a generically good

00:34:54.440 and well-mannered man.

00:34:55.760 Right.

00:34:57.480 You need to find other outlets.

00:34:59.220 And they find that in this denigration by these ethereal characters.

00:35:07.880 Ah, okay.

00:35:09.080 So evil being sexy is also a product of changing norms around female sexuality, causing women 1.00

00:35:16.700 to be more sexually, what's the word?

00:35:21.540 Promiscuous.

00:35:22.280 That's the word.

00:35:22.900 And that promiscuity leads them to be aroused by less friendly, committed partners.

00:35:32.380 Therefore, in media, we're seeing an increase of dark triad traits and evilness being what

00:35:41.820 people are turning to sexually, what women are turning to sexually out of interest.

00:35:45.540 And I guess when it comes to the sexy and evil nexus, it does seem to be more of a male

00:35:53.460 characters thing than a female characters thing. 1.00

00:35:56.600 Yeah, you get a few female characters, but it's definitely lower. 1.00

00:36:02.220 Actually, I'd say that it's the crazy sexy metric, which is more of what female evil is associated 1.00

00:36:10.340 with, the two characters here being Harley before she was made gross and jinx.

00:36:16.800 Catwoman a little bit, too, at least in the Tim Burton version, which is the best and only

00:36:20.900 version that we should be concerned with.

00:36:22.920 Yeah, best and only Catwoman.

00:36:24.560 Sort of busting Batman makes me feel all dirty.

00:36:33.120 Gotta go.

00:36:34.500 Girl talk. 0.98

00:36:35.980 Oh, I forgot I'm not married.

00:36:38.040 Bruce Wayne.

00:36:38.760 Why are you dressed up like Batman? 1.00

00:36:41.980 Because he is Batman, you moron. 1.00

00:36:45.220 Well, that was very brief, just like all the men in my life. 1.00

00:36:50.700 The so-called normal guys have always let you down.

00:36:54.220 Sickos never scare me. 0.92

00:36:56.280 At least they're committed.

00:36:57.940 Amazing, amazing, amazing.

00:36:59.120 Tim Burton.

00:36:59.760 There can only be one Catwoman. 1.00

00:37:01.860 Definitely top tier cinema, one of the best films ever made.

00:37:04.840 And I really mean that.

00:37:05.800 I do think it's one of the best films ever made.

00:37:07.580 Wow, so this has two.

00:37:09.060 Okay, so Tim Burton's Batman and Interview with the Vampire.

00:37:12.020 I mean, there's a lot of good films out there.

00:37:14.240 But those are good.

00:37:14.780 No, there aren't any more, okay?

00:37:17.060 The young generation needs to learn that there was a time when people made good films.

00:37:22.780 And that time has long passed.

00:37:24.980 Yeah, that may be a good different episode in terms of quality changing over time.

00:37:30.720 Because I was just thinking about it the other day while cleaning out our attic.

00:37:35.020 Like, wow, I better hold on to this.

00:37:37.140 Like, we don't have a need for it right now.

00:37:38.560 But the versions of this that are constructed now that I can buy now are lower quality.

00:37:43.820 A suitcase in this case.

00:37:45.400 And also some garments.

00:37:46.900 And I just...

00:37:47.500 When it comes to clothing, even when it comes to media, books, movies, supplies, backpacks,

00:37:53.720 appliances, even cars in some cases, the quality that we're getting...

00:37:58.800 And of course, designer luxury goods as well.

00:38:01.060 Like, you know, Louis Vuitton used to be something that was consistently very, very high quality.

00:38:06.300 Now, you know, you buy a lot of clothes from couture designers, supposedly.

00:38:12.920 And they will fall apart after the same number of wares that something from Banana Republic or Primark will.

00:38:21.880 You know, it's sad.

00:38:23.560 So, yeah, I see what you're saying there.

00:38:26.480 And I think that's a broader theme, too, is that it's weird that as culture, per our view, at least, has degraded.

00:38:34.120 Which is not the fault, per se, of progressive values or being left-leaning.

00:38:39.440 It's the fault of a super virus that has taken over that movement and parasitized it.

00:38:45.180 But the degradation of culture has also correlated so highly with the degradation of clothing quality, food quality, in some instances.

00:38:56.480 Building quality.

00:38:57.280 Think about houses built today.

00:38:59.480 Media quality, book quality, video game quality, as we discussed in another episode.

00:39:04.140 It's interesting.

00:39:05.640 You're absolutely right.

00:39:07.080 And I think that this degradation can only be resisted through a, well, certain types of social resets is what we really need to hope for.

00:39:18.560 It's not going to be AI because what people have pointed out with AI, which I think is really astute, is that people expect revolutions to be often in the form of some fundamentally new or different product or service.

00:39:33.600 When sometimes the revolution takes place in something becoming mass-produced and a lot less expensive to the average person.

00:39:43.360 So quality is actually worse on average, but now everyone can access it.

00:39:47.480 Like, I just watched a really interesting YouTube video on how the Bic pen revolutionized literacy. 0.99

00:39:54.220 Because for the first time, a non-quill-based pen and an affordable pen became available to the masses.

00:40:03.180 They could actually write more, which is interesting.

00:40:07.040 And I think this is, because it's a much more subtle thing that's happening.

00:40:11.020 Something, you know, becoming affordable and also just not that great.

00:40:13.720 It doesn't seem that impactful, but it's intensely impactful.

00:40:17.800 Think about, like, I think airline flight's similar, right?

00:40:20.520 You know, airline flight used to be, for what you could get at the time, you know, highly luxurious, you know, really, really, quote-unquote, high quality.

00:40:29.400 And now you're kind of in, like, a Greyhound bus in the sky, wedged in with a bunch of people.

00:40:33.520 But so many people can access it now.

00:40:36.340 Maybe fewer than it used to be because it's so expensive.

00:40:39.020 But still, so that's interesting.

00:40:41.840 And I wonder, yeah, this seems to be one of those things, but not the only thing.

00:40:46.140 Does any of this connect and correlate to the sexy ex-Halloween costume?

00:40:52.640 Like, sexy? 0.95

00:40:54.400 Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it. 1.00

00:41:00.000 The hardcore girls just wear lingerie and some form of animal ears. 1.00

00:41:03.860 Yes. Duh.

00:41:05.760 Unfortunately, no one told me about the slut rule, so I showed up like this. 0.96

00:41:10.300 Hey! 0.99

00:41:11.980 Why are you dressed so scary?

00:41:14.540 It's Halloween.

00:41:15.020 No, I actually think that's a totally different phenomenon.

00:41:17.620 I think that that was just people realized, oh, I can dress whoever I want during Halloween.

00:41:21.940 So I'm going to be sexy, but I have to be scary. 0.73

00:41:24.520 No, it was that they realized, I can dress whoever I want during Halloween, even beyond normal sexual amores. 0.95

00:41:32.020 I.e. rules that would normally say, you can't wear that at school.

00:41:36.640 You can't wear that at a party.

00:41:38.640 Well, they don't apply at Halloween.

00:41:40.180 So why not cheese how sexy I'm being if those rules around modesty don't apply on this particular day?

00:41:48.920 And that's interesting.

00:41:51.200 Yeah.

00:41:51.460 One thing that I can't square with my past self is why I wore such revealing clothing, despite being so physically self-conscious.

00:41:59.700 I don't know how.

00:42:01.020 Why did you?

00:42:01.540 Did you wear revealing clothing?

00:42:02.740 I don't remember.

00:42:03.240 I wore miniskirts, so there was that.

00:42:06.760 You did?

00:42:07.140 Yeah, I did.

00:42:08.740 Ooh.

00:42:09.480 Yeah.

00:42:10.560 Like, miniskirts and thigh-high stockings was, like, one of my go-to staples.

00:42:16.740 From, we'll say, age 15 to 26, like, a little after I met you.

00:42:24.520 I started dressing conservative after I met you.

00:42:27.480 You actually, I seem to remember this a little bit.

00:42:29.800 You didn't look very good in miniskirts.

00:42:32.300 No, I didn't.

00:42:33.820 But I still wore them.

00:42:35.220 You're not, like, tinting on you.

00:42:36.460 No.

00:42:37.620 I have, like, stocky legs.

00:42:39.960 I don't like my legs.

00:42:41.280 But I'm a woman.

00:42:41.840 Like, women don't like a lot of elements in their body. 1.00

00:42:45.360 It doesn't.

00:42:46.240 That's nice.

00:42:47.240 You're not.

00:42:47.740 He's going in for the save, ladies and gentlemen.

00:42:49.760 Yo, hold on.

00:42:50.660 You're digging the hole deeper, Malcolm.

00:42:53.340 The miniskirt sexy look.

00:42:55.760 Uh-huh. 0.93

00:42:57.620 Synergizes with crazy, unhinged, or bubbly.

00:43:02.740 It does not synergize with calculating, calm, cool, reasonable, collective hotness.

00:43:10.260 Yeah, but I was playing the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope before I met you.

00:43:14.840 So, that's not bubbly.

00:43:15.780 Not doing well, Simone.

00:43:17.120 Yeah, I know, Malcolm.

00:43:17.860 You did not come off when I met you.

00:43:19.540 I did not think Manic Pixie Dream Girl.

00:43:21.360 I was like, oh, this girl is desperate to have somebody to work for. 0.99

00:43:24.700 That's just because I thought you were amazing.

00:43:28.120 You don't understand.

00:43:31.620 Okay, so you're saying I didn't come off like other days.

00:43:36.060 Yeah, no, definitely not.

00:43:38.240 No, definitely not.

00:43:39.340 I was turning people away and trying to get out of all my other dates.

00:43:43.640 And then I met you and was a little too thirsty, apparently.

00:43:46.880 But yeah, it's odd to me that women want, young women want to reveal so much of their bodies when, at least if they're anything like me, or anything like they signal publicly. 0.95

00:43:56.680 They're very self-conscious about how I want it to their bodies.

00:43:58.600 Yeah, why did you? I mean, do you remember the decision that went into doing that?

00:44:01.140 Did you think that you would be, that people would respond more positively?

00:44:04.820 No, no, it wasn't.

00:44:06.200 It was never about other people.

00:44:07.740 And I think people get so confused when they think that women dress and put on makeup for other people.

00:44:13.900 And that's so not true.

00:44:15.040 They put it on for themselves.

00:44:16.480 I thought they were cute, I guess.

00:44:18.280 And I saw them on other people, and I thought they looked cute on other people.

00:44:21.480 So it was like, I wanted to be in on that.

00:44:25.160 But I wasn't.

00:44:26.380 It wasn't cute on you, is it?

00:44:27.540 You wanted to look at yourself in the mirror and be like, ooh, you're so sexy.

00:44:31.180 No, you know, a lot of it's more.

00:44:32.760 And you can see this in how many women choose to dress. 0.81

00:44:35.780 They see stuff that they think is pretty, and they put it on them.

00:44:39.140 They're not thinking about how they look on it.

00:44:41.320 They're thinking about how the thing looks.

00:44:44.720 Or how it looks on a model.

00:44:46.500 And they're like, this pretty thing.

00:44:47.760 And like, I want, our daughter Titan does this.

00:44:50.700 She'll find stuff that's pretty, and she'll put it on her.

00:44:53.500 And it's not because she thinks it's going to look good.

00:44:56.240 She's like, oh, like, I will accessorize with this pan on my head.

00:45:02.100 How do you counteract this instinct in young women, culturally speaking?

00:45:08.920 Well, you know, I think young women who grow up on camera and have terrible family influencer 0.97

00:45:17.580 parents see themselves so much that I think they realize real quick what they actually

00:45:22.360 look like.

00:45:22.920 I grew up in an age when having images of me was still kind of unusual, so I didn't necessarily

00:45:27.700 know what I looked like.

00:45:29.540 And so I think, and especially now, because even just, I take so many pictures of our kids,

00:45:34.440 and we have a family album that plays in our house on our screens.

00:45:37.440 I think our kids just seeing themselves in our family album would be probably enough for

00:45:43.500 them to see whether or not they were pulling off a look.

00:45:45.760 I also think that our family is going to be well known for editorializing on anyone's

00:45:51.180 non-uniform wear.

00:45:52.300 And just having, like, cruel commentary, so.

00:45:57.520 I'm okay with that.

00:45:58.760 Having siblings does, I think, help.

00:46:02.120 In fact, I know fewer people who had siblings, like a lot of them, and have terrible fashion

00:46:08.380 taste.

00:46:09.660 Oh, true that, yeah. 0.96

00:46:11.340 Because I think you just get ruthlessly bullied when you look like a doofus, and you have a 1.00

00:46:16.580 lot of siblings. 0.90

00:46:17.500 That is actually true, I've noticed that.

00:46:19.120 What was that?

00:46:23.760 One of the pumpkins fell.

00:46:26.500 That sounded like glass shattering.

00:46:29.080 Well, it shattered.

00:46:30.180 It was one of the light-up pumpkins.

00:46:32.280 I know.

00:46:33.040 It's okay.

00:46:34.440 Anyway, love you to death, Simone.

00:46:36.360 You are amazing, amazing, amazing.

00:46:39.100 Thank you for being my wife, and I think we have to go get the kids now.

00:46:42.880 Yeah, I love you.

00:46:46.120 Oh, by the way, I realized something.

00:46:48.520 On the subject of super stimuli and social media, and also different things that get

00:46:55.780 to different genders, there is a super stimuli genre on TikTok and other shorts-based platforms

00:47:02.540 that disproportionately seems to attract women. 0.54

00:47:05.520 And it is the genre of restock videos that are often marketed as ASMR as well, but they're

00:47:13.040 all marketed as restock.

00:47:14.160 If you know what a restock video is, I don't know this term.

00:47:18.240 It's fascinating.

00:47:19.540 It is, typically you as a viewer are just seeing hands restocking anything.

00:47:24.900 So common restock videos are of refrigerators, freezers, even ice trays.

00:47:31.860 Male hands or female hands? 1.00

00:47:33.180 Female hands, always, because this is a female genre. 1.00

00:47:35.460 People are restocking their Stanley cups.

00:47:38.620 People are restocking their guest bathrooms, their powder rooms, their bathrooms, their

00:47:42.840 pantries.

00:47:44.020 And what they're doing is you're just seeing hands, sometimes cleaning out the thing first,

00:47:48.200 like a purse or a fridge or a closet.

00:47:50.420 And then they are restocking it with brand new products in quick succession, very fast

00:47:55.660 cuts, sometimes tapping on bottles or whatever for the ASMR part.

00:47:59.140 But I'm realizing that it is very much, and because I see even our daughter Titan doing

00:48:03.660 it, and I do it all the time, this, I think that there's a female instinct towards squirreling 1.00

00:48:08.100 things away.

00:48:08.940 Like I'm putting my, like my little food stores and my little box and it's safe now and like

00:48:14.540 packing and being ready.

00:48:15.640 And I've got all my stuff in my purse.

00:48:17.100 That was jewelry too.

00:48:18.160 They get these little fancy jewelry boxes and they put the jewelry in the little box with

00:48:22.320 fingers in the other box.

00:48:23.980 Oh, I've seen it.

00:48:24.980 No, no, no.

00:48:25.400 You, you, you haven't.

00:48:26.240 I'll send you like a, a comp, like a compilation of restock videos.

00:48:30.380 And you'll, you'll see that they've basically on social media, it, there's been this evolution

00:48:36.380 of a super stimuli of this because people have found organically over time that when they

00:48:43.600 take video of themselves restocking people's like women's women's eyes dilate, and they're

00:48:48.520 just like, I need to see more of this.

00:48:50.700 And there are people who all they do, and they have millions of views is just restock their

00:48:55.740 fridges.

00:48:55.980 In fact, fridge restock videos and shorts are so big now that there are even people who

00:49:02.380 are trying to find their niche by doing themed restocks.

00:49:05.480 They are so big now that they're doingvisals.

00:49:06.600 Over time.

00:49:06.740 And they have皆 big size.

00:49:07.040 Over time.

00:49:14.980 Hold there.

00:49:15.900 Hold there.

00:49:16.260 How many things do you need to do?

00:49:18.920 quarantine приходs.

00:49:19.440 And theyouts akhir their friends until finances and you got them. 0.95

00:49:24.300 Some things I want to make remember.

00:49:27.540 Back to the end.

00:49:29.320 This is the historianimpression lights.

00:49:36.700 I thought it was a great one.

00:49:40.700 So try to make aiggling an important piece.

00:49:45.180 What was that year?

00:49:47.340 Very early!

00:49:50.560 So they are afraid to pick up my chest cocky transferred to a stageitSpeck.

00:49:55.640 Look at this 실패.

00:49:58.040 like wait what yeah like bridgerton themed fridge restock or like everything and it's like

00:50:11.080 wait what what wait what would a bridgerton fridge restock look like it would look like

00:50:16.300 first taking everything out of your fridge and then putting everything back in your fridge

00:50:20.740 but in really girly containers and also putting little like flower like flowers everywhere in

00:50:26.680 your fridge bridgerton like about the past yes bridgerton is a regency era romance fantasy

00:50:32.740 show on netflix little containers they use regency themed containers no it's just there's no logic to

00:50:40.540 this is this is corn as it's women it's women okay if we combine one super stimuli with another which 1.00

00:50:49.280 is historical romances that must equal sales but then there's also like summer themed and like when

00:50:55.160 people do ice tray restocks for example they they have purchased tons of different expensive

00:51:00.960 silicone based ice molds and then they've made tons of different themes of ice like this is smoothie

00:51:05.940 ice this is kalua ice this is tiramisu themed cold brew coffee ice cubes you know and then they just

00:51:12.500 put them all into freezer into like and of course most of these things involve buying lots of little

00:51:16.960 plastic trays and you're unloading packaged goods into these little trays in a way that looks really

00:51:21.640 neat and organized you'll see it's a whole genre but i think it's really fascinating as a female

00:51:27.640 super stimuli and it is absolutely the same as like a very very busty woman on porn hub it there's no 1.00

00:51:36.940 it is pushing the same kind of button and that there's some deep evolutionary like

00:51:41.920 like this this correlates with my survival and it's fascinating to me this this genre that it even

00:51:50.900 creeps into like my instagram feed and i find myself watching it and thinking oh it's bad it's bad but

00:51:58.540 it's also so good anyway let's let's get to the podcast
