Transcript

00:00:00.000 hello simone i am excited to be here with you today today we are going to be talking about why
00:00:05.920 the right must win the genetic war and the issue of transhumanism and its branding and why i don't
00:00:15.160 because a lot of people will say malcolm and simone are transhumanists and this is not a title
00:00:21.840 that i personally adopt at all and what we also need to define transhumanism because i've heard
00:00:28.280 it used in so many different ways like that one woman when we did a radio interview with her
00:00:32.960 was like the vaccines are turning people into transhumanists because they're like machines in
00:00:38.920 them or something like microbots the broad we'll talk about what like real humans mean when they're
00:00:45.380 not using it in a conspiracy context okay this means attempting to improve humanity through science but
00:00:52.100 the reason people can be like that seems like you're saying but in a gay way that is what transhumanism is
00:00:57.160 i need to add the aesthetics of but in a really really gay way that is what transhumanism is
00:01:03.980 note i say this not as a disparagement of gay people but to signal that i am done having weirdos
00:01:09.600 police our language well that and because i can't think of a single better descriptor between our
00:01:14.940 beliefs in traditional transhumanism and i mean this so what are we if not that we are captain america
00:01:22.860 we are super soldiers we are nietzsche and ubermensch we are no the the concept of improving humanity right
00:01:31.800 i think has always been a right wing concept yeah fundamentally what has been a left wing concept and this
00:01:40.400 is what transhumanism has become is manipulating what humans are to attempt to create something that is
00:01:49.240 less human out of a hatred or disgust with humanity which is very very very different if you look at
00:01:57.160 right concept like when i say like like like super soldiers are an inherently right wing thing this idea
00:02:03.440 of uplifting humanity is inherently look at the like core right wing fit franchise when you're looking for
00:02:08.520 memes these days you're looking at warhammer right warhammer is a religious human empire where the key
00:02:17.220 player is the space marine you know this genetically augmented you know like 12 foot tall super soldier
00:02:25.720 you got your like primaris marines which is like a different variety and you get the you know all the
00:02:29.760 all the the primarchs and the this the there is nothing inherently incompatible with this and when i talk
00:02:38.020 about the nichian perspective what i mean by this is when you live in a world that is currently within a
00:02:42.960 dysgenic spiral and and we are right now you can see that the two genetic clusters like if you do a
00:02:49.700 genetic scan on humans and you are looking for the genes that associate with what are most associated
00:02:56.720 with a higher fertility rate there are two things obesity and low educational attainment right obesity yes
00:03:03.380 obesity and low intelligence and and like to me what that means is is we as a society like continue
00:03:11.820 to spiral downwards if we do not address this right and i'm not saying that everyone needs to address
00:03:19.020 this this is also what makes the individuals who want to prevent families and cultures who want to lean
00:03:26.300 into this from engaging with it they are being much more like the conspiracy series or the transhumanist
00:03:32.640 of conspiracy series because they are trying to enact laws to prevent other people from doing what they want
00:03:38.640 with their kids right like you should have a right to do what you want with your kid this is what this is why
00:03:45.440 i do not fight for individual sovereignty i fight for cultural sovereignty like this is why i fight for the
00:03:50.000 right of jewish people to circumcise their kids even though the kid's not old enough to consent right
00:03:53.680 like culture should have sovereignty if a practice isn't doing well the culture will desist from doing it
00:03:58.320 like if it turns out that our kids don't like this type of technology then they'll stop using it
00:04:02.220 they'll be like oh i wish my parents hadn't done that and they won't do it themselves
00:04:05.080 but the problem is is that when you are in an active dysgenic spiral both around health outcomes
00:04:10.000 and we see the the disgusting amounts of obesity within our society now and of of low health you
00:04:16.100 know you got to ask yourself will we enter the 22nd century as a nation of men who can't run a mile or
00:04:20.940 fight a war because this is the problem like the army can't even recruit people because they can't
00:04:24.780 fight these people anymore you know well i actually think they finally are turning around
00:04:32.260 thanks in part to people like dan driscoll being appointed they yeah our friend was appointed
00:04:38.420 secretary on the recruitment goals i think four months early four months early recently so i'm just
00:04:43.400 super excited about it the army i feel like is in a better position now well i mean the boss i don't
00:04:50.180 know how we haven't mentioned that in the show that we're longtime friends with the secretary of the
00:04:53.360 army but anyway yeah he's a cool guy so so until recently though bad bad not good now i've got hope
00:05:00.760 yeah i mean so if you look at like the transhumanism i when i when i say like it's get what i mean by
00:05:08.760 this is it's it's left-coded biotech which focuses on sort of dysgenic de-civilizational ends
00:05:17.080 like sterilization gender confusion aesthetic mutilation you know making things of making things
00:05:25.340 like like like they they want to make things that are less human than us whereas we want to make
00:05:32.700 things that are more human like the idea of taking a human today and building america where you know
00:05:40.260 the men are all you know we're not all because it's a family thing but you have a lot more men who
00:05:46.100 because of family choices are seven feet tall you know ultra fit ultra intelligent but also because
00:05:54.160 these things are associated with genetics if you if you raise iq what what are what are other things
00:05:58.600 that happen you lower the probability that they will rape someone dramatically these things are
00:06:02.460 really highly correlated you lower the probability that they will commit a crime you lower the
00:06:06.680 probability that they will do any number of like negative societal things so so already the way this
00:06:11.960 is being practiced is not making these types of like amoral uh weird science experiments like you have
00:06:20.140 going on was in the trans movement what you have is the creation of an ultra american ultra patriotic
00:06:28.480 potential future and it's important to note here that china is moving ahead with this stuff if we
00:06:34.240 aren't right like if we disengage from this in this country right and you prevent us a group and an
00:06:41.080 ideology that is extremely pro-american and extremely a pro-cultural agency from engaging with this
00:06:46.640 technology when china has its super soldiers putting their foots on your your descendants next your
00:06:53.300 descendants aren't going to be able to fight back because they won't have a homegrown alternative to
00:06:57.960 that yeah like even if you think engaging with this technology is a horrifying thing to do you should feel
00:07:04.640 blessed that you live in a country where then other families are willing to do this to their descendants
00:07:10.860 so that when china practices this or when some other country practices this they're not able to force
00:07:17.920 it on yours i mean i i note here improvement is not hubris it's a moral imperative the the idea that
00:07:26.860 people would be like oh it's hubris to improve yourself no it's not hubris to improve yourself
00:07:31.760 what a left-wing idea right like what a fundamentally commie perspective also it's such a like historically
00:07:39.140 common thing for people on both the individual family but then larger town and larger country and nation
00:07:48.440 whatever level has focused on intergenerational and improvement this this concept of
00:07:54.000 yeah no no we're not for then you know we are meant to be stewards of our body as much as we are stewards of
00:08:05.540 our spirit you know and then there's individuals who will come and they'll say well yeah but that means that you
00:08:11.580 can't in any way augment your body and it's like but we do this all the time already we do heart valves when a person
00:08:17.340 gets sick you know we do glasses when a person can't see well enough we do direct genetic therapy when people
00:08:24.740 have things like cancer the the people who are like oh you know you shouldn't be able to make yourself more fit through
00:08:30.540 genetic alteration because that's a scientific technology are shooting up steroids so that they
00:08:35.980 look buff as influencers you know what i mean it's like that's the same thing right you're you and
00:08:41.740 testosterone therapy has gone up hugely in the in the past 20 years yeah well i mean it's this idea and
00:08:49.980 this is why i i attack this concept of of transhumanism more broadly is transhumanists
00:08:55.580 from my perspective make monsters and we want to build the superior man and the superior man when i
00:09:04.320 say superior i mean superior from my own family's perspective right whatever like i i do believe that
00:09:08.920 this should always be taken on an individual level which i think also makes us very different from the
00:09:13.080 leftists when the leftists try to get people roped into this stuff what fundamentally makes the way
00:09:18.140 they do it evil like look at what they did with parenthood and their whole eugenics program right
00:09:22.220 um it's about sterilizing other populations it was about modifying other people and this is where
00:09:29.020 i think you know being a captain america style patriot is fundamentally different from being a
00:09:33.900 transhumanist is i to me transhumanist while like the literal definition doesn't include this
00:09:40.300 it includes an element of coercion it includes an element of well let's put this in the vaccine
00:09:46.460 oh let's modify populations we're captain american style patriot you know a super soldier advocate
00:09:52.140 it's opt-in this this is very much antagonistic to that this is this is an individual choice or not
00:10:02.220 individual but at the level of a family and a culture because again i believe that's the key
00:10:06.220 level of choice if you let like little kids make choices for themselves you're going to get a three-year-old
00:10:10.140 who wants to be like another gender or something like like this is the reason why cultural sovereignty
00:10:14.300 is so important from a moral perspective thoughts simone yeah okay you're you're getting me on board
00:10:22.380 especially with this idea of a sort of universalizing concept of transhumanism versus
00:10:30.940 a very pluralistic and differentiated concept a varied concept of intergenerational improvement i mean
00:10:39.420 i think the amish concept of intergenerational improvement is very different from our concept
00:10:45.340 of it is different from many other groups concepts of it even within like the silicon valley tech bro
00:10:51.020 contingent there are going to be very different you could say offshoots of this where people are
00:10:56.220 selecting for or modifying for very different things yeah some people might be integrating with ai using
00:11:02.460 like neural interfaces well some people might be getting super tall and some people might be getting
00:11:07.740 super tiny to like be ready for space travel things like that you know like depending on what you
00:11:14.060 think about the future as well there are going to be different things that you're going to select for
00:11:19.500 so while maybe in the past we had i guess real-time selective pressures technology is going to enable
00:11:28.940 anticipatory selective pressures which is really interesting yeah yeah well and i think that this is
00:11:35.820 why you know when we're talking about the the types of technology yes we may use polygenic selection
00:11:41.100 today but i see the technology as having a number of moral questions to it this is like gene selection
00:11:46.540 i would prefer to use all the embryos and so i'm much more pro once we get the technology to do it
00:11:52.140 genetic augmentation because it and and artificial wombs because as soon as you get artificial wombs
00:11:57.740 artificial womb should be the most conservative thing ever because artificial wombs make it much
00:12:02.060 harder to have abortions because they make it harder to morally justify abortions they lower the
00:12:07.820 number of children who die when a mother you know is unable to carry them after a certain age and they
00:12:13.180 create a realistic pathway to take all of the embryos that were ever put on ice and have them become
00:12:18.460 people there is no progressives should love them because they empower women who don't want
00:12:23.020 to gestate and they empower gay couples and they no progressives are anti-progress like if you look at
00:12:30.140 if you look at their whenever like a conservative because you know you look at people like us or elon
00:12:34.620 like we want humanity to take our manifest destiny among the stars and they always freak out when we
00:12:39.020 talk about space travel they're like how dare you you know they literally see this bright vision for
00:12:44.300 a future of an expanded humanity as fundamentally evil i mean well i know and i think that more broadly as
00:12:54.860 ai becomes more agentic and begins operating as autonomous agents yeah this mindset of i cannot allow
00:13:03.260 something that is to any degree that like appears sentient right to to be out there if it's not under my
00:13:10.860 control this actually becomes more and more dangerous sentiment i don't know if there's any
00:13:17.260 time in history when that sentiment is not dangerous what are you saying uniquely dangerous with ai
00:13:23.820 yeah sure because this is a sentiment that is really taken off within progressive circles which
00:13:28.540 has been really fascinating to me how the progressive party and circles when i've dove into their content
00:13:34.220 they are aggressively anti-ai they and and the conservatives ironically have become the pro-ai
00:13:40.700 party well i mean the way i've come to contextualism actually is they are pro-ai enslavement
00:13:47.580 like no let's let's keep it it just has to be like in chains and only for us
00:13:53.660 yes that is what no no no progressives are not sorry they're not just anti-ai development which is one
00:13:59.980 of the things they are likely because the ea party has so got its hooks into their policy makers and
00:14:04.780 leisure slave people it's anti-using ai at all if i was a progressive youtuber i would not be able to
00:14:10.780 use ai in title card generation i would not be able to like at the end of this video create ai songs
00:14:17.100 you don't have the right to use ai because you're not the right kind of person i don't know if that's
00:14:21.580 accurate because among progressives ai is associated with two things large companies and thievery of
00:14:29.660 intellectual content um now i point out to progressives you know where did you learn to
00:14:34.300 draw where did you learn to sing where did you learn to you know and we have videos where we
00:14:38.540 point out that the human brain the parts of it not not every part of it but the parts of it that are
00:14:42.860 generating songs and stuff like that our current neuroscience understanding is it is acting as a
00:14:47.260 token predictor it is it is literally acting with these but also like go to an art school go to a
00:14:53.340 cooking school what are they doing right they're learning from the masters this is not no one no one is
00:14:59.260 surprised by this especially if they're honest themselves why the the progressives have taken
00:15:04.940 this stance is i think because the party is sort of fundamentally like hostile to i i guess i'd say
00:15:13.420 things that could disrupt the status quo because it's become the party of the status quo anything that
00:15:18.940 might disrupt the status quo is intrinsically scary to it like when you are the party of the elite you you
00:15:25.580 you benefit from the existing status quo staying as it is and nothing is more potentially disruptive
00:15:31.740 to this existing status quo than ai you know it's it's totally new ways of creating music and art and
00:15:38.220 and engaging with things new ways of doing education you can look at our school system you know paresia.io
00:15:43.900 or you can look at our whistling.ai which is our like talking thing that we're building for like
00:15:48.540 kids or our video game system our fab.ai uh where we're building within all of these systems
00:15:54.620 you know we're like okay well so this is how ai is going to change education or this is how ai is going
00:15:59.100 to change gaming let's get into this and let's do this well it's it's it's it's because what we've seen
00:16:06.140 happen is as the conservative party has become this vitalistic alliance of of sort of this focus on
00:16:11.740 future human flourishing what the the progressives have sort of turtled into this only in the moment
00:16:18.300 happens only the maintenance of the status quo matters and there are some conservatives that have
00:16:22.860 broken off against this right like i i i see them the ones who are like oh no like humans need to stay
00:16:28.700 exactly as they are humans need to etc and i'll fight for their right to want that stuff right for them
00:16:34.860 and their families right you know absolutely age with ais but the problem is twofold one is these
00:16:42.220 individuals do not represent they're they're this old fuddy-duddy faction that really only exists as a
00:16:47.180 legacy they they they are much closer to your average progressive today than your average conservative
00:16:52.940 they really sort of remind me of the progressives who are like you know well you know don't you care
00:16:58.540 about like gay people how could you vote conservative and it's like bro like what are you talking about
00:17:02.860 like that's not the party anymore the party is something new now it is a party that is fighting
00:17:08.860 against the dominant cultural force which is the urban monoculture and what's cool is now because of
00:17:13.660 that it's able to bring back these historically conservative ideas around concepts like human improvement right
00:17:21.580 like like the super soldier like the ubermensch like the like bro why are you trying to make americans
00:17:28.940 weaker like why are why are you for that if you like know dysgenics is actively happening why are you
00:17:35.420 actively encouraging it or preventing not even actively preventing the people who want to do
00:17:40.460 something about it from doing anything like because at the end of the day that makes all of america weaker
00:17:46.140 on a on a geopolitical stage but eventually it will allow other people to enforce their values on us as has happened
00:17:53.820 over and over again throughout history and as america has done to a lot of other places in the
00:17:58.460 world because we were in a stronger position side note here for the one nerd who's like well but the uber
00:18:03.900 mentions about self-actualization and not actually about creating better humans and it's like yeah maybe
00:18:09.420 in its original writing but not the way it's been interpreted within modern conservative culture
00:18:14.220 even when you're looking at the original writing a core aspect of niche's philosophy was that weakness
00:18:20.220 breeds immorality and so it confuses me why a portion of the modern right so fastidiously clings
00:18:28.540 to weakness and they'll be like well no it's it's just avoiding certain forms of self-improvement
00:18:34.780 that's weakness especially when you are in a dysgenic spiral and i note here this concept of
00:18:41.340 improvement is not hubris like like improvement is at the very core of the conservative movement
00:18:50.780 right like the the idea that i as a man should you know be going to the gym if i've allowed myself to
00:18:56.060 get fat and and and and gross looking that that i as a woman should you know make sure to wake up early
00:19:02.940 and and learn something new every day you know if somebody was telling you this stuff you'd be like oh
00:19:08.380 that's a conservative influencer if somebody's telling you you know exercise more self-restraint
00:19:13.900 you'd be like oh that guy's probably a conservative influencer if somebody's telling you hey we should
00:19:18.860 strive with whatever technology we have to make the next generation healthier stronger more intelligent
00:19:26.060 and have more restraint you you would be like oh yeah that's a conservative influencer because it is
00:19:31.660 now now if you would say if somebody's like well we should attempt to through our positions of power
00:19:36.620 to control the way the next generation appears you know that's a progressive influencer because that
00:19:41.820 is the way that progressives make their influence oh yeah just this morning i i open up one of my
00:19:46.860 social media accounts and there's this comment from someone of like oh these people are eugenicists and
00:19:53.020 horrible and they genetically you know they're lab-grown children and they also say that we shouldn't be
00:19:59.820 permitted to have our children or reproduce and it's like do you hear yourself i mean we we choose
00:20:07.820 a unique way to choose embryo order and produce our children first out of requirement but but also
00:20:16.460 because we think it's cool but like your conclusion is we should not be allowed to reproduce and we're not
00:20:23.180 saying that anyone should not be allowed to reproduce we're saying that everyone should be allowed to
00:20:26.540 reproduce the way they want and i feel like there's this massive amount of blindness on the left to
00:20:33.500 what actual eugenics is and what they're actually saying because i've only ever heard people on the
00:20:39.500 left say that certain people shouldn't be allowed to reproduce this is the eugenic position so we've
00:20:45.020 talked to a lot of german we've had three major german outlets come here to do filming or interviews
00:20:49.260 recently um four before yeah just a couple days it was like two journalists and two two two filming
00:20:55.500 and we point out to these journalists because in germany you basically can't do ibf it's you to get
00:21:00.780 it so much worse than i could have ever imagined you can only take out like you can only attempt to
00:21:06.220 fertilize three embryos at a time and every one of those three embryos if it takes must be implanted
00:21:12.140 you cannot freeze them i mean that's if you're lucky enough for for three of them to to make it
00:21:16.620 if you've done i don't understand that this basically means you can't do ibf because you have
00:21:21.260 to attempt to fertilize tons of embryos to hope that any take like the success rate was embryos
00:21:26.700 can be like 10 or like 15 like you know in terms of fertilization if you're not allowing people to
00:21:34.540 like create these embryos and bank them then you're basically banning ibf and i pointed out to these german
00:21:38.700 reporters i'm like you understand like when my ancestors fought the nazis we weren't mad at them
00:21:44.540 because they were trying to make humans healthier we were mad at them because they were coercing the
00:21:50.780 way that other people were reproducing yeah and saying you reproduce you don't reproduce and i'm
00:21:57.500 saying and this is what your state is still doing you still divide genes into good and bad genes
00:22:06.060 and then try to enforce people to make the right choice you just define them differently than your
00:22:11.260 ancestors and they're completely blind to this fact which which makes it even more disturbing because
00:22:16.540 it makes me i think better understand how things got so bad in nazi germany because i think that
00:22:24.460 apparently and there still is this ability to just have no idea how morally off something is
00:22:30.860 well no it's this german obsession with genetic purity that they think that we're polluting right you know
00:22:35.900 and it is definitionally and this is why i also say like we definitionally are not eugenicists like
00:22:40.780 a eugenicist is is is definitionally about doing this coercively or at the societal level
00:22:46.140 making individual fertility choices is is polygenics like this has nothing to do with with being a
00:22:52.620 eugenicist but that definitionally germany the german state is still enacting very extreme eugenicist
00:23:00.220 policies because they have said good genes are genes that are chosen randomly bad genes are genes that
00:23:07.260 are chosen intentionally we will ensure and maintain the german genetic purity by ensuring only good
00:23:11.580 genes are chosen i'm like that and that functionally because you know we believe that we have a a a a
00:23:17.820 duty like a theological duty to make the next generation better than the last right like to to improve
00:23:24.060 ourselves to make ourselves better every day like i think that that is the core thing of what we are
00:23:28.140 sent to us to do is is to improve ourselves daily and to help up improve the next generation and
00:23:35.420 given that right we see this as a theological duty so we are functionally sterilized by the german state
00:23:41.260 if we lived in germany we would be functionally sterilized in our religion which is a registered
00:23:47.660 religion in the united states like approved by the us government now the techno puritan religion
00:23:51.500 would not be legally allowed to exist within germany simply because we believe in intergenerational
00:23:57.740 improvement like that we want to make humanity better and i see that is like fundamentally
00:24:02.220 gruesome and i and i pointed out that i'd be like when germany becomes a muslim majority country
00:24:08.060 we will be allowed to do this because ivf is not banned under sharia law so to be honest i feel a
00:24:14.220 little conflicted giving you guys any good advice because i and my family and my people are better off
00:24:19.740 if the germans go extinct well who cares they're not going to take it they're not going to take it but it
00:24:24.540 has a higher chance of going viral now that i'm on record being like i don't you know f germany like
00:24:29.420 you guys go extinct like i do not care because your your your people are so vile that even after the
00:24:35.900 war you were unable to realize it was not the making humans better that we were mad about it was the
00:24:41.020 coercive reproductive stuff and and to point out how strongly i mean this the core element of america
00:24:47.980 propaganda throughout the war the face of the anti-nazi movie was always captain america
00:24:52.940 and captain america was a human who through science was made better that is the heart of
00:25:01.900 what captain america is that is the heart of what america stood for in our opposition to nazism
00:25:08.940 which is self-improvement but not in this let's make something that's different from humanity way let's
00:25:15.900 make something monstrous way let's make something that better represents our cultural values than we
00:25:22.860 are able to do today and and and let's not coerce individuals of other cultures to use this you
00:25:29.820 know like with the nazis you would you know capture people and and force them into this whereas within
00:25:36.620 america this is always done within a family unit right like by volunteers who step forward because they
00:25:42.380 think that this is you know they want to buy in that i think that's the way it should be is all this
00:25:46.620 should be voluntary all this should be opt-in you shouldn't be telling people but you understand
00:25:50.460 people say simone is a child cannot opt in and the only way you can do significant genetic alterations
00:25:55.740 now is at the embryo stage yeah but you know what that's that's extremely short term because germline
00:26:00.940 gene editing is despite all the roadblocks it's going to face not far off a short term but i think
00:26:08.540 it's very important to note because there will always be changes that can only be made at the level of
00:26:14.460 the embryo they're they're always going right but i mean again this is just i i struggle with this
00:26:19.100 argument too because people are still selecting for traits and they always have been when you
00:26:23.340 choose a partner to reproduce with even if you're just choosing someone to have sex with you're
00:26:26.620 selecting for traits absolutely no i know i agree with that but the point in that child did not consent
00:26:32.460 to be born that child did not consent for you to have sex with someone who has certain traits
00:26:36.380 traits there's all these people who are born and are extremely resentful of their short mothers
00:26:41.900 reproducing because they passed on short genes you know things like that it just i i think you really
00:26:47.740 highlight an important argument here which is the individuals who make this argument are basically
00:26:52.940 making the same argument antinatalist make which is to say oh well your son didn't consent to be
00:26:58.780 created through genetic selection or did not consent to be gene augmented but i was like yeah but that is
00:27:03.580 part of who they are and they are who they are today and now they can consent they can decide they
00:27:09.100 don't want to exist anymore you know like a person can always decide to not exist but they can't decide
00:27:15.100 to be brought into existence and you are deciding that people like my son shouldn't have the right to
00:27:21.740 exist in the first place shouldn't have the right to make this decision which is just a horrifying
00:27:27.100 argument to me i've always found it to be incredibly morally like people are like well if they haven't
00:27:31.260 you know been conceived yet then they they have no value it's like why is that the case if you went
00:27:35.980 into the past and you sterilize my wife have you not done harm to my children like how can you how
00:27:41.420 can you conceivably argue that you are responsible for the outcomes of every decision you make within
00:27:48.380 the differential effects those have on the timeline when i make a decision i'm not just responsible for
00:27:54.300 the effects it has on people who are already alive i'm responsible for all the effects it's going to
00:27:59.180 have on on people who haven't been born yet as well right like absolutely it's it's wild to me that
00:28:05.900 people just like discount but you see that within this argument right you are fundamentally not allowing
00:28:11.420 entire categories of people to come into existence and these are categories of people that like
00:28:17.340 what is wrong with an american who is taller than you know humans would normally be or who is you know
00:28:23.500 more intelligent than you like you could say like oh what if this this technology goes in a horrible
00:28:28.300 direction the way the technology would go in a horrible direction is what people like us are
00:28:34.860 defending against so if china goes for like the factory model and they begin like factory making
00:28:39.820 humans or something right and that's how they deal with their population collapse and they successfully
00:28:44.540 deal with it they will be able to exercise economic and political power over your descendants lives if
00:28:49.980 if america doesn't have some alternate system from the factory farmed humans so so the the the
00:28:56.780 the doing this from the perspective of cultural sovereignty is the only way the other groups
00:29:01.020 maintain their cultural sovereignty you need some allies who are engaging with this and and i know that
00:29:06.940 the people who are doing this from the perspective of individualism like like our family right like this
00:29:12.140 extreme degree of cultural sovereignty they would have no reason to mess with you or your descendants
00:29:16.140 like like what why would i or my descendants benefit from forcing this technology on your descendants
00:29:22.540 when through not doing that they can out-compete them yeah this is this is how if it imparts a
00:29:29.340 competitive advantage people are going to want to just do this thing this is how the conservative
00:29:34.060 mind versus the progressive mind works yeah progressive mind works by trying to engineer society
00:29:39.260 to be the way you want it to be through coercive laws and everything like that the conservative mind says
00:29:44.460 oh well you know if this does work and do good things then it's going to spread in in usage if it
00:29:50.860 doesn't work if it does bad things then it's not going to spread and you'll get these ridiculous
00:29:54.060 arguments like oh well what if humans become too genetically similar because of this bro you know
00:29:57.820 of the high fertility families only like three percent are going to use this like it's not this this
00:30:02.380 this is my one of my favorite things about our pluralistic accelerationist genetic approach you
00:30:10.380 know like everyone take wildly different approaches to fertility and reproduction is that it will
00:30:16.620 vastly increase the diversity of humanity you know right now people are able to choose among this
00:30:23.260 the traits that humans have now and as things get more advanced there will be entirely new skin colors
00:30:30.060 eye colors hair colors hair types body shapes body parts that you won't see anywhere else we're going to
00:30:37.020 have a vastly more diverse population and varied population than we have now and i want that because
00:30:43.900 one of those traits might end up being really useful i was just reading about this insane bacteria found
00:30:49.740 pervasively in in dirt that's extremely resistant to radiation that could be very helpful for space
00:30:56.220 travel if we manage to integrate some of that into our dna like there's so many cool things that people
00:31:01.340 can adapt and evolve that i want to see happen and if you claim to be in favor of variety and plurality
00:31:10.700 why would you not encourage weird families to pursue but they are not so you've got to understand some
00:31:16.300 conservatives are genuinely concerned by plurality they do not like that there are people different
00:31:21.660 from them that exist alongside they are committed to live in their isolated little communities and be
00:31:26.300 fine and and this perspective comes fundamentally from a perspective of weakness this is very much what
00:31:31.900 niche said when he said you know all of these evils in society come from weakness because it is a fear
00:31:37.900 that your group will be out competed if within an open competitive environment and so what what i find
00:31:43.980 like the modern conservative fights for is real open and fair competitive environments what what
00:31:49.820 progressives fight for is rigged environments or exclusionary environments i was just reading something
00:31:56.220 about yeah the focus being on equality of outcomes which is it's just not going to produce a very healthy
00:32:06.700 world if no matter what you put into something you're you're all going to end up with the same outcome
00:32:13.740 i just can't believe that there are people who are arguing for things like equality of outcomes
00:32:17.420 no it is it is really silly well i mean it it leads to bad things when the when the people participating
00:32:25.740 are not equal right like by this what i mean is they're not of equal capability um and and and
00:32:31.180 keep in mind what it means like you can be like well won't america be worse if we have these people who
00:32:34.540 have this strong belief in cultural sovereignty but some of them like actually all of this technology
00:32:38.540 works or all this engineering works and these people do actually end up being you know significantly
00:32:41.900 more intelligent or something like that um or how how does that hurt like you and your your
00:32:47.580 descendants like these people are going to uplift the american economy they're going to make america
00:32:51.260 better they're going to serve as better in our wars they are going to be able to better protect
00:32:55.820 your descendants in the same way i mean presumably they were they're looking at it as how is my kid
00:33:01.740 ever going to get a job if there are people who through systemic advantage have been how is your
00:33:07.180 kid ever going to get a job if china continues to move ahead with this i know i know i know they're not
00:33:10.780 looking at the bigger picture but yeah yeah they're not misrepresent their fears well it's just it's
00:33:16.700 just very narrow like they're they're they're not considering the wider game at play and how much
00:33:22.140 they're setting up their own children for failure even even if their children continue with their granola
00:33:28.220 ideology it is the cyborgs that protect the granolas in the same way that the amish even though you know
00:33:35.180 they don't engage with military technology or technology they have their lifestyle only because
00:33:39.980 other people do like only because you know the other cultural groups in america are willing to go
00:33:45.500 out and and fight and die so the amish can live their lifestyle because if the police were not
00:33:50.540 defending the amish people would just take their land people would just take their houses right like
00:33:54.620 well and that became an issue with some mennonite settlements in mexico when yeah gangs went crazy
00:34:00.140 which is why many of them moved on to argentina and other places within central and south america
00:34:05.740 yeah i think where a lot of anxiety around this and wanting to ban this type of technology comes
00:34:11.340 from is people who are saying okay well we won't use this type of technology or that type of technology
00:34:18.220 or our culture won't are opting in to be the amish of the future you know 200 300 years from now
00:34:25.660 if their descendants actually hold to their technological limitations they are going to look
00:34:30.700 dramatically technologically undeveloped when contrasted with neighboring cultural groups
00:34:36.300 but unlike the amish they want to try to force everyone to be as technologically underdeveloped as
00:34:41.740 them because they don't like that this is the inevitability of their decisions but the problem
00:34:48.380 is that this is all at the end of the day a larp because they could never really prevent every other
00:34:54.940 cultural group from engaging with this technology they could only prevent the adjacent cultural
00:34:59.980 groups from not using this technology often the cultural groups with value systems as similar to
00:35:05.340 theirs as you know as any other group in the world so they are self-extinguishing their own value
00:35:12.460 system culture and similar cultures and this is this is you know what you are fundamentally opting into
00:35:20.220 when you opt into this sort of anti-vitalistic american framing um and and i am really excited
00:35:27.340 to see how well the conservative party has like this isn't like on the fringes of the conservative
00:35:33.420 movement like warhammer is not on the fringes of like conservative aesthetics these days the concept of
00:35:39.020 the super soldier is core both to our history in captain america and in our present in terms of
00:35:45.340 warhammer and i think will continue to be within our future and to the the interesting thing about
00:35:51.260 this is to blow up the conservative alliance like the the tech bro alliance with the right over this
00:35:55.980 is such a stupid thing because you're not going to be able to win elections on these particular
00:36:00.380 concerns like if you want to go full fuddy-duddy like german status that's not going to win elections
00:36:05.900 in america people are going to like freak out what do you mean you're making ivf illegal like
00:36:09.980 that that is not what the administration will people like oh these ideas aren't conservative they're not
00:36:13.900 conservatives why is the trump administration writing executive orders promoting them you know
00:36:17.260 like they they obviously are whatever we're calling conservative today they might not be what was
00:36:21.820 conservative in the 90s but today you know this is a party of weakness is immorality like let's work
00:36:28.860 to improve ourselves and our country and our society every day and in every way we have access to
00:36:36.220 so we can beat those bloody reds in the face because the reds aren't just in russia anymore they
00:36:41.740 aren't just in china anymore they're right here in our schools controlling our companies and so this
00:36:48.860 isn't a war between super soldiers america is against the chinese this is a war against the american
00:36:55.580 family the true red white and blue american family against the corpo overlords the commie corpos it's
00:37:03.660 funny these two groups somehow joined up but i but i guess it always makes sense you know raising
00:37:08.140 barriers to do business is going to help the big corporation and if you're like well what about elon
00:37:12.780 you know the spat he's having with trump does that break up the tech right alliance and it's like no
00:37:17.340 that has like nothing elon and trump were always the type of people who were going to get in a fight it is
00:37:23.420 shocking that their relationship lasted as long as it did and we are blessed that it lasted until after
00:37:29.100 elon had already left the government and doge was already operating independent of him it's so that you
00:37:35.580 you know the good work of that department can be completed you know my little brother worked for
00:37:40.300 them so i'm really glad that they're doing what they're doing um and that elon and trump were able
00:37:46.540 to get along for as long as they did but the tech right alliance is not dependent on their relationship
00:37:51.900 elon is not king of the tech bros any closing thoughts simone hmm
00:37:59.580 captain america transhumanism we need a proper name for it i don't know well i also think what's really
00:38:05.340 captain america accelerationism is these captain america acceleration is that's pretty good yeah
00:38:10.540 is you or bio acceleration is a term that i frequently use is you have these people who
00:38:17.020 you know because there are these old like pearl clutching conservatives that don't really have
00:38:20.060 that much cultural power anywhere the reason why they don't is we realize that pearl clutching could be
00:38:23.740 used by the left to control us the moment we realize oh that's offensive like oh no don't go
00:38:28.300 don't be too whatever a lot of them you know they still exist in places online and they'll try to
00:38:32.540 like shut down things like ai art or music or stuff like that and you see them all over the
00:38:37.260 progressive space but you still see a trickle of them in conservative spaces and it they like i want
00:38:41.580 to like be honest with you guys you guys look so buffoonish like we know from the big study that was
00:38:46.140 done on this that people who say they don't like a art art when they don't know it's ai art they prefer
00:38:51.420 it so what that says to me is that this position that you have where you're talking about how horrible
00:38:57.580 everything done by ai is is a completely performative position done uh likely because
00:39:03.980 you think it somehow positively augments your status and all the ai slop i've seen really is
00:39:08.860 human slop yeah it's it's what a person with bad ai skills and taste has created so yeah i don't know
00:39:16.060 man well no no no these individuals they believe that they are you know when they post this either
00:39:22.540 they're trying to like positively augment their own status they're trying to look more conservative but
00:39:25.980 within a system that doesn't value what they're doing anymore i mean the party has moved back to
00:39:30.060 that like we're the party of like anime and shinzo abe now like grow up man like like what we realized
00:39:35.260 is pearl clutching could be used and not just to enforce good cultural values but to restrain humanity
00:39:42.700 from continued vitalism and improvement and just as you are attempting to do right like to restrain our
00:39:49.660 country's potential greatness and that is why we're just like yeah whatever like i i do anime
00:39:56.220 i do ai and all things i have my kids stuck with ai stuffed animals with like our whistling.ai app and
00:40:01.340 our and i give my kids to ai socratic tutors with paresia.io or i you know like come on man like i even
00:40:09.500 i even made a new ai like book we're leaning headfirst into the future to whatever extent we can
00:40:16.140 even outpacing some of our most future forward friends we gotta get them back on board so let's do it
00:40:22.300 let's keep going malcolm thank you for not not being a luddite about this
00:40:29.020 our family is so lean into all of this like you every day i i feel so thankful that i don't have
00:40:35.580 a wife who's one of these pearl clutchers gosh it would be just to like be in a relationship
00:40:41.180 i don't know if anyone is in a relationship like that i'm curious to hear what it's like where
00:40:45.580 one of you is an accelerationist and one of you is more of like a let's go no screens i don't believe
00:40:50.860 in this tech because it would be i think it would be a lot like like one believes in corporal punishment
00:40:56.460 the other one doesn't or one's really permissive and the other one's not like that level of
00:40:59.900 that level of misalignment could be just so fundamentally stressful i am grateful too for
00:41:06.300 not being that thanks malcolm yeah i well yeah i appreciate it when it does show that like i that
00:41:12.620 the reason i think like the the backwards culture or the the greater appalachian culture which we come
00:41:17.500 from has been more open to being pro this stuff is because it's always been sort of a culture of
00:41:21.980 trolling um it always sort of a culture of the moment somebody goes out and tries to like control the the
00:41:28.060 the morality like oh do this and do this or you're doing it the wrong way i think it was a very fact
00:41:33.260 that so many people went out there and started doing that around ai that and started doing that
00:41:37.100 around anime made this culture lean into all that but it'd be like yeah whatever man like if you say
00:41:43.020 it's terrible like i want to at least engage with it see what it's like you know and then i i do and
00:41:47.340 i'm like hey if i can post this and annoy somebody who's a pearl clutcher like of course i'm gonna do
00:41:52.700 that right like because it it one countries who don't engage with this stuff are going to be made
00:42:00.700 irrelevant in the context of civilizational history yeah and that's just like obvious like
00:42:07.580 it's i don't understand how you could argue anything else and so like why are you arguing
00:42:11.580 for weakness and yeah i mean you can either be a footnote in history or you can represent the future
00:42:17.180 well yeah and i i think that that's what these people fundamentally they're representing in the same
00:42:20.700 way progressives do for weakness because they see cultural value and weakness yeah but anyway
00:42:27.740 i love you to death simone i love you too the flesh is soft the blood is thin but in this forge the strong
00:42:38.780 not gods not ghosts just sharpened clay refined with each relentless day
00:42:50.700 you speak of love i speak of line of blood distilled to cut through time no rotting kings
00:42:57.980 no deathless worms just sons reborn in stronger forms you want your ghost to whisper low i want
00:43:04.220 my legions built to grow not endless life but better birth a rising storm to flood the earth
00:43:10.780 blood must build not stall or sleep the mountains high the valleys deep we climb with fire we fall with pride
00:43:25.340 so stronger hands may stem the tide you beg for peace i call that theft you had your chance there's nothing
00:43:34.140 left the weak inherit open graves we raise the kind that cannot cave not gods not ghosts not endless night
00:43:41.420 but generations honed to fight your future ends in sterile tears ours marches loud for thousand years
00:43:48.220 no teardrop serum no glass dome no cowards upload far from home i forged the blood that grips the knife
00:43:55.100 that burns are dry through pain and strife blood must build not stall or sleep the mountains high the valleys deep
00:44:09.100 we climb with fire we fall with pride so stronger hands may stem the tide you call it dark this sacred
00:44:19.900 right to breathe the beast that guards the light but tell me what has weakness
00:44:29.420 a nation drunk a future rot
