Transhumanism Vs. The Ubermensch: The Right Must Win the Genetic War
Summary
In this episode, we discuss why the right must win the genetic war, the issue of transhumanism and its branding, and why we don t want to be a part of the transhumanist conspiracy series.

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
