hello simone i'm excited to be here with you today today we are going to be exploring the
00:00:05.920
phenomenon that you may not be aware of which is most socialist and communist leaders and i really
00:00:12.400
mean most communist leaders oh like actual like world leaders like yes going into distant history
00:00:20.320
up to modern times were born to incredible wealth and the question is is why why does this trend
00:00:28.560
happen and it's something i've seen as well with you know all the wealthy kids especially the ones
00:00:32.880
who didn't have to earn it being incredibly like the most communist socialist people i know
00:00:46.400
yeah no there's there was this one like trust fund kid conference that you
00:00:50.000
you yeah or something not something not cemetery nexus global nexus nexus global and um everyone
00:00:57.520
and it was really like kids of of very wealthy families who had basically family foundations
00:01:04.080
that were charities talking about how they're going to spend their family foundations money
00:01:09.600
and it was all woke nonsense and it was all it was all like socialists too marxists and communists
00:01:15.200
which is so weird yeah because and it wasn't like meant to be a marxist conference it was meant to be
00:01:20.240
a rich kid conference okay so you see this constantly so let's go over where we see this phenomenon playing
00:01:25.120
out i'm just gonna read to you names here right okay okay this isn't just a historic thing this is
00:01:29.920
a modern thing as well zohan mondani you know the guy who's the communist running for the man of the
00:01:34.800
people yeah born to oscar-nominated filmmaker miyar nar and colombian professor muhammad mondi
00:01:41.280
young zohan enjoyed a jet-setting lifestyle between new york india and uganda what family vacations
00:01:46.800
included film sets and academic conferences perfect prep for fighting capitalism right but hey at least he
00:01:53.600
traded red carpets for red politics fidel castro fidel's cost fidel's father owned a 25 000 acre
00:02:01.920
plantation with 500 employees where little fidel rode horses attended elite jesuit schools and bossed
00:02:07.680
around servants one anecdote he once staged a quote-unquote revolt against his strict boarding
00:02:12.720
school by locking himself in with candy foreshadowing a real revolution minus the sweets from castro's
00:02:19.840
family wealth and early life stories hassan piker hassan's father was a vp at a billion dollar
00:02:25.520
conglomerate and a board member of multiple forms affording a posh istanbul upbringing with private
00:02:31.280
schools and family trips funny bit hassan once joked about his uncle sick yuger the young church's
00:02:37.440
founder who we'll go into next as a nefo baby but skipped mentioning his dad's empire
00:02:43.120
you talk about screaming from a glass house sec by the way grew up in east broadenswick an affluent
00:02:49.120
suburb with strong cools before the family settled and blah blah blah he he also had a fantastically
00:02:54.800
wealthy family but less wealthy than hassan hassan's family was a from what i can read multi-billionaires
00:03:02.560
not multi-billionaires but they ran multi-billionaire corporations sex was probably a few hundred million
00:03:07.360
either way neither of them have to worry about money so clearly that's why they don't care about lying
00:03:12.480
about you think that both jenkin and hassan are trust fund kids yes they never have to worry about
00:03:18.880
money in their lives if something went wrong or anything they wouldn't have to like if if hassan
00:03:23.760
really loses it for shocking his dog like a psychopath i america kaya please just go just stop
00:03:31.760
god just on stay on the bed yeah well neither will chat i'm busy
00:03:44.480
and here's the thing i actually don't even mind shot callers for people who aren't aware of this
00:03:47.680
so hassan's one of like the leading like lefty streamers right and he got caught after the dog
00:03:54.560
had sat in a corner for four hours like yelling at his dog and then shocking it so that it like yelped
00:04:00.560
and went back in the corner when it just tried to get up and walk around i'm actually like
00:04:03.920
shot callers whatever like for me you know like we do corporal punishment like whatever but forcing
00:04:10.560
a dog to sit in one corner for four hours as a prop and we can see on earlier videos he used to chain
00:04:16.640
it up to do this like we have a dog we could use it as a prop but we don't like that's a psychotic
00:04:22.480
thing to do i don't have my kid in the corner like shot caller to make sure they don't they
00:04:27.280
don't move from their spot like we should we should oh my gosh next episode just expect to
00:04:34.240
see octavian in the corner with a big ass collar on no but i also love oh we got to do that for
00:04:41.280
he would love that just sit him back on this windowsill he will just die no so the funny thing
00:04:48.480
is is like we have the whole like bop gate for us like when we do like horrible punishment with our
00:04:52.720
kids and and i so want to be like in a debate with susan about this and i'm like yeah and you
00:04:57.280
know what the difference between you and me is is i'm honest about the things i do as punishment
00:05:02.960
because i'm willing to stand behind them you are not this is the difference between you and me and my
00:05:08.880
friend when that came out we didn't go out there and be like no we we would never do that i'm like
00:05:14.480
we told you we were doing this beforehand in our episodes here's all the science that shows that
00:05:18.960
it's a good thing to do probably i mean here's our logic behind doing it so i just love what
00:05:24.160
what and what i hate about hassan most right now in terms of how he's handling this is he's forcing
00:05:29.040
other people to put their reputations on the line and lie for him i don't think he's forcing
00:05:34.560
him i think they're voluntarily doing it i mean obviously what my favorite was the one recently
00:05:39.120
where the girl came out and she goes no no there's no shock like the electric prongs are taken out of
00:05:44.080
it like it's only a vibrates like there's a setting for vibrate and there's a setting
00:05:48.080
for shock so he there's only the like since the prongs are in it it only vibrates
00:05:54.080
and then she said and that had been taped over and now we know that hassan was showing one with
00:05:58.160
shock prongs taken out and tapped over if you've never used one of these shock colors before uh the
00:06:02.880
prongs are removable in any of them it's a standard feature right you just take out the prongs because
00:06:07.920
the idea is is that once you use it for a certain period of time the dog gets used to it and then it
00:06:13.440
only needs the beef and the rumble and you don't actually need the shock things to contact the
00:06:18.160
dog anymore but hassan had said that it wasn't a shock collar it was a rumble version and a friend
00:06:23.280
goes oh i went to his house it was a shock collar he just took out the prongs by that point but the
00:06:27.280
dog's not going to yelp on the rumble setting right so uh-oh anyway side there frederick angles
00:06:35.040
angles grew up in a sprawling family estate with mills across europe think victorian downtown abbey but
00:06:41.200
downtown oh boy anecdote as a teen he skipped business lessons to party in manchester's elite
00:06:47.920
circles then used his inheritance to bankroll marks irony and the guy who co-wrote the anti-capitalist
00:06:54.160
bible was basically a trust fund kid subsidizing the proletariat someone's gonna do it what sorry
00:07:00.720
you got thoughts here i i don't i mean who's gonna bankroll the socialists if not nepo babies though
00:07:08.560
well i mean this is they don't have the means of production it's not a i i i without getting
00:07:15.440
because people know i didn't get any family wealth from my family i could have not exactly my family's
00:07:20.640
choice although they had always told me i wouldn't inherit money but it was all stolen as well so like
00:07:24.640
it's it's very public that there's no way i could have gotten any money for my family which is good i
00:07:29.280
like that everyone knows you know i could be a communist if i want to but self-made people very
00:07:33.680
rarely want to become communist that's that's the problem right like people who are successful
00:07:38.960
within the capitalist system rather than just handed their money and this is one of the reasons why i
00:07:43.040
think you get this pattern they see the value in the capitalist system the people who are just handed
00:07:47.440
everything they have nothing but guilt and they want to frame themselves as good guys vladimir lenin
00:07:51.920
lenin's father was a high-ranking inspector with hereditary nobility affording elite schooling and a
00:07:56.960
family estate childhood tale young vladimir both hosted quote-unquote revolutionary games in the garden
00:08:02.560
bossing siblings like a mini czar until his brother's execution flipped the script from noble
00:08:08.480
picnics to proletarian purges che's upper middle-class family owned estates he grew up playing polo
00:08:17.120
rugby at elite clubs che was a polo kid polo kid oh no as a kid he staged quote-unquote battles at the
00:08:28.480
family ranch they had a branch of course complete with toy guns and servants as quote-unquote enemies
00:08:34.400
foreshadowing his real life oh my god i love the sociopathy the servants have to play the enemies
00:08:43.200
all of my friends on my side and we'll just gun down the servants which is what he did in real life
00:08:48.240
good practice well what we see is what communist revolutions really almost always are is idiots
00:08:56.080
who think they're fighting for equality that these types of elitely educated people are using and then
00:09:01.280
a cabal of wealthy elites who are utilizing those idiots to centralize their power and assure
00:09:07.680
an even less what's the word i'm looking for here a society where people can move between class
00:09:12.560
distinctions it's really about solidifying elite power structures and you see this with current
00:09:18.240
communists as well like that's that's clearly what they want right they do not want they do not want
00:09:23.680
like if you go to your average antifa rally and you're like great we're gonna help like the the forgotten
00:09:30.880
rural rust belt community oh that's not who we were talking about uplifting i was thinking more the
00:09:38.560
the the trans trust fund kids who literally as i point out like i don't understand how anybody falls
00:09:46.480
for you got these trans people who dress like they're literally like from the capital and the
00:09:49.920
hunger games pretending that they're like allied with like the the the working poor right like no
00:09:57.920
you hate them and it's very clear when you talk about them that you hate them right and it's very
00:10:03.200
clear that you don't live in these communities despite the statistics i'll give you we have another
00:10:06.960
episode on this i'm gonna do another episode on it in more detail but like the trans murder rates are
00:10:11.040
like super super low especially if you take out trans black people which make up like 50 that blew my
00:10:15.680
mind yeah because it was typically discussed that like trans people especially because many of them
00:10:21.120
enter sex work to support their transition and whatnot like are disproportionately supposed to risk etc
00:10:27.920
it's because they're they're they're in upper class communities often and leeching off of our
00:10:32.000
class communities even if they themselves don't have jobs and and this is what i've noticed is
00:10:36.400
people will act like well i'm really poor when they're living with like their rich friend in
00:10:41.120
manhattan or something like that who's helping to pay for everything right and it's like
00:10:47.120
okay i mean you might technically be poor but you are living in manhattan right and i know for a fact
00:10:53.520
if you were everyone feels poor in manhattan yeah you would be doing that right so clearly you're
00:10:58.800
getting money from somewhere next one pol pot i don't know if you knew this one pol pot with a
00:11:04.640
wealthy family was royal court ties he grew up with french tutors and lived in the king's palace as a
00:11:10.560
page boy french page boy pol pot page boy pol pot this is the one who did the cambodian revolution
00:11:17.360
where they had the killing fields and they just like one of the most brutal communist dictators in in
00:11:22.000
history god french tutors page boy this does not check out these people are good at rebrands
00:11:29.120
so the peasant utopia the architect enjoyed elite scholar scholarships in paris studying radio tech
00:11:35.200
while shipping cafe lattes oh sorry sipping cafe lattes before banning all that burgundy's
00:11:42.160
burgundy's stuff back home i can't even say these tommy words bourgeois that's what what it is
00:11:47.200
kind of words my american tongue um you gotta burgundy's burgundy's oh my god malcolm so much
00:11:58.800
oh it kills me it kills me so much jessica milford from britain's eccentric milford nobility jessica
00:12:06.480
grew up in a spalling estate with servants debutante balls and fascist siblings she once carved a hammer and
00:12:13.440
sickle into her bedroom window to troll her dad then he loped with a communist cousin to fight in
00:12:19.280
spain carl marx by the carl marx was also not poor marx's lawyer dad owned rhine vineyards funding carl's
00:12:27.600
posh schooling in bond where he painted dueled and racked up debts dueled all right you know classy
00:12:36.320
young carl once got jailed for a drunken night out bailed out by daddy's cash later on he lived in
00:12:42.400
engels mill money while writing manifestos so literally it's like the law doesn't apply to
00:12:48.880
me i'm so rich level of rich there right i mean yeah to be socialist or communist though you have
00:12:57.440
to be subversive and and subversiveness often requires a a pretty sizable level of personal
00:13:03.920
empowerment and confidence which is easy to get when you're wealthy well if you look at what happened
00:13:09.120
with marx it's very clear he was grew up super wealthy so we'll see the rules didn't apply to him
00:13:14.560
he never had to worry about working or a job or anything like that and as soon as that stuff was
00:13:18.320
required of him because he didn't expect it ever would be required of him he's like well i need some
00:13:22.720
alternate system to pay for my lifestyle right and that's when engels started to support him um but the
00:13:30.080
the point here being is that he and a lot of these wealthy kids simply do not have a world view where
00:13:36.880
they are ever going to work that you know that is that is antithetical to
00:13:47.120
sorry all right we're gonna keep going here but we're getting we're getting every name on the list
00:13:52.000
here mao's a dong this isn't so mao mao's father was a prosperous farmer money lender with vast lands
00:13:59.360
afforded private tutors and elite schools teen mao staged hunger strikes against his dead strict rules
00:14:05.040
hiding in barns with books ironic for the guy who'd later starve millions in the great leap forward
00:14:10.560
well he tried it it wasn't so bad yeah okay leon trotsky trotsky's dad owns massive farms with
00:14:16.960
laborers young leon had private tutors and summer horseback rides he once commanded farm kids in mock
00:14:23.680
battles prep for leading real armies but was way more privileged than the proletariat he championed
00:14:28.640
now pete capron and and and he's a what's the word anarchist communist back in the 19th century
00:14:38.480
oh a russian aristocrat and proponent of anarcho-communism was born into a noble land-owning
00:14:44.320
family descending from the ancient rurik family his father owned serfs across three provinces and
00:14:50.240
kropkin grew up in moscow mansion with with attached estates educated at the

00:15:23.760
carefree childhood in the elite college in ho a top french academy for vietnamese nobles where
00:15:28.880
future leaders like phan bondong and vo and guan also studied at around age 10 he got expelled or
00:15:35.200
nearly so for protesting french teachers distributory treatment of vietnamese students
00:15:42.880
sorry i'll mute myself next year bertrand russell
00:15:48.320
born into britain's elite the grandson of a two-time prime minister no these aren't like
00:15:53.120
kind of rich people these are the super wealthy super elite super old blood people is what we
00:16:00.480
keep seeing here you know like in the imperial family playing polo as a kid etc young bertrand
00:16:06.240
was orphaned early and raised by his strict victorian grandmother at her luxurious pinbook
00:16:11.920
lodge in richmond park a sprawling estate fit for royalty with students and servants and gardens galore
00:16:18.400
his private tutors no need for regular school lived in isolation from other kids until 17 leading to a
00:16:24.800
lonely but intellectually loaded childhood where he contemplated unalivingness but was saved by books
00:16:30.160
in mass i love he's so close to modern people bertrand russell at 11 his brother introduced him to
00:16:35.840
euclid's geometry which he called as dazzling as first love sparking a lifelong package and he he secretly
00:16:42.880
ditched christianity becoming an atheist at 18 after reading mills bonus as a teen he jetted to the
00:16:49.680
1989 prayers exhibition and climbed the brand new eiffel tower climbed it all funded by family well
00:16:59.120
it has stairs for the he walked up the stairs oh that okay alexander kolotny kolotny daughter of a
00:17:08.640
russian general from a noble family i've been to the top of it by the way i just thought he just
00:17:12.640
took the elevator yeah maybe he did family with ukrainian and finnish roots grew up in luxury
00:17:18.560
estate servants elite education actually i'm not even going to say any more of these if i already
00:17:22.560
recognize them we've got a well this one could be relevant to our eastern european inver hoaxa he's
00:17:28.560
an albanian communist leader son of wealthy muslim landowner and cloth merchant with ties to the ottoman
00:17:33.600
elite we got tony ben i've heard of him british socialist politician born antony wedgewood ben
00:17:40.160
that's a aristocratic name if i've ever heard one the aristocratic son of a viscount and the
00:17:44.480
grandson of a baronet lived off of inherited wealth jessica milfort british writer and activist
00:17:50.160
from the aristocratic milfort family philip tony b british communist journalist and writer son of
00:17:56.560
renowned historian andrew tony b from the intellectual elite family benefited from nepotistic connections
00:18:02.560
and esmond rommel lee nephew of winston churchill who the british communist and he was winston
00:18:07.840
churchill's nephew born to aristocratic privilege use family wealth and education for becoming a
00:18:13.360
communist fighter in the spanish civil war so churchill goes and has this africa adventure and
00:18:17.680
this guy goes to the uh so thoughts on this because this is really a full list this is modern to ancient
00:18:24.240
from the beginning of this to zorhan mondani right yeah so it makes me think about the the sort of other
00:18:31.280
angle that a lot of people have looked at this systematic disempowerment or wealth redistribution
00:18:36.320
of wealthy families in typically like communist and socialist regimes and how over time both in
00:18:43.440
like eastern europe and in in asia descendants of those families that were systematically disempowered
00:18:49.360
just end up in very influential and wealthy positions again yes i just feel like you get this is
00:18:54.960
just another element of disproportionately wealthy and intellectual families producing disproportionately
00:19:00.880
wealthy and influential people it just so happens that they chose to use the government corruption
00:19:07.840
slash like socialist scam to obtain their power and wealth in this case but like by using the same
00:19:14.160
tactics that a capitalist would use i want to expand on your point before i disagree with your point okay
00:19:20.880
to expand on your point the study she's citing which i personally find fascinating and show how much of
00:19:24.640
competence is genetic that in china they did a fairly good job of consolidating wealth among a few elite
00:19:32.320
families and then disenfranchising all the other elite families and putting them on the bottom of
00:19:35.680
society and then the bottom of society was raised just like higher class and it was much easier to get
00:19:40.320
jobs and positions if your ancestors had been farmers and if they had been like you you were treated with
00:19:45.120
active derision in your daily life well today you know 100 years later if you look at the people who are in
00:19:51.920
leadership positions within the communist party i think it's something like they're 45 of them or
00:19:56.800
something are descended from those very people who are put on the bottom of society at the beginning of
00:20:01.680
the communist revolution and so it just sort of like re resorts itself this is part of why cambodia has
00:20:10.160
never really economically recovered when other regions have economically recovered like vietnam and china
00:20:15.840
because in china in vietnam they just treated their wealthy elite during the communist period
00:20:20.320
like underclass citizens in cambodia they were systematically eradicated and because of that
00:20:25.120
cambodia has never been able to really re-industrialize them the same way because they
00:20:29.680
just don't have that class of people anymore and i think in cambodia now a lot of wealth is just owned
00:20:34.640
by chinese who who came in because they still had that class of people who could come in and soak
00:20:38.000
everything up i've heard that yeah so one number that i was able to find on this is that chinese
00:20:42.560
people own uh 92 percent of the business assets in cambodia this is what happens if you eat the rich
00:20:49.920
in your country the rich from another country come and take over well and there's actually that's the
00:20:56.400
case apparently in a lot of a lot of well we have another episode on this the jews of asia but the
00:21:00.720
point is is you benefit from this elite class enormously and and what what communism really is is a revolt
00:21:08.880
of a few factions with that elite class against the rest of that elite class using the poor to achieve
00:21:15.920
that end it is not and people can be like oh well real communism's never been tried that's not the
00:21:20.800
way communism is supposed to be done but i will say that communism may work in a world with ai we can
00:21:25.040
talk about that we've talked about that and that's kind of the point is that the the the actually
00:21:30.160
respectable leaders in in communist theory pointed out that this is a post-scarcity
00:21:35.040
system only but this makes sense in a post-agi super prosperous world sorry but just just quickly
00:21:42.240
here i agree with what you're saying but i want to explain why it doesn't work pre-scarcity okay
00:21:48.640
where you still have any degree well it's obvious because the why you basically need just infinite
00:21:54.560
resources created by people who aren't people so that no one has power that's not why so like on paper
00:22:01.040
communism could work like this idea that you could give ownership of the means of production to the
00:22:08.080
people right and then sort of decentralized power entirely and have everybody sort of agree on this
00:22:15.360
decentralized worker-owned world right like this could hypothetically exist the problem is
00:22:25.760
as many people have tried to create this before like it's not all communist efforts were disingenuous
00:22:30.240
but when you decentralize power to that extent the extent that it exists within quote-unquote real
00:22:35.440
communism anyone who is willing to subvert that system say actually i'm not going to let go of my
00:22:44.560
decentralized power can concentrate power and then take it from the decentralized architecture which is
00:22:51.840
why communist systems always turn into because if you said oh well we're all giving up all of this and all
00:22:59.360
of this and all of this and one person's like well i'm going to be running the let's just say like
00:23:04.560
and you can do this from any position of government eventually centralized power whether you are checking
00:23:09.680
to make sure the supply lines are working correctly or running the supply lines or running you know quota
00:23:16.320
checks or running you know anything like that you you can easily or you determine you know the exchange
00:23:22.720
rates or you you know anything where you have a degree of power you can just further concentrate that power and
00:23:28.560
then create a crony system where everyone under you because they are getting disproportionate wealth
00:23:33.280
because of you and disproportionate power because of you has a has a a vested interest in maintaining
00:23:38.960
this new system i do not think that many of the communists who go and start these systems realize that
00:23:44.880
that's what's going to happen they think that they are actually going out and redistributing wealth in
00:23:49.920
some sort of meaningful context and what ends up and the reason i think they hold these beliefs is when you
00:23:56.320
are incredibly wealthy and you grow up you're not punished for wrong beliefs you are not punished
00:24:02.720
for making mistakes you are not punished for when i mean punished i don't mean like by your parents
00:24:07.680
i mean by reality right people who make their own money if you make a mistake like right now like we
00:24:13.680
don't have a job like we're working on a startup we're trying to make this work we just got turned down
00:24:17.760
by andresen so we were you know on our way with them so now we've got to find out what we're going
00:24:22.880
to do next and this is you know five kids right like i get punished for my mistakes if i don't
00:24:28.960
perform i can't create something that people want to use with you know parisio.io our school system or
00:24:34.960
our fab.ai our you know online agent system for like chat bots or the new system we're building with
00:24:41.440
our fab.ai that will allow you to have like persistently online bots that are just sort of
00:24:46.800
always running and can like give you phone calls and answer your texts and send you texts and send
00:24:51.280
you emails and do coding for you and and we'll have like persistent personalities which evolve over time
00:24:57.760
think of it like a tamagotchi human i don't know how to put it right like a a pocket human very excited
00:25:04.800
to start releasing those onto the world because the ones we have in our test environment are really cool
00:25:08.880
but where am i was this stuff yeah i've i've had to and we've we've built it before you're
00:25:14.000
basically saying trust fund kids and nepa babies are are doing bowling but with the bumpers on
00:25:20.960
yeah and if you're doing bowling with the bumpers on you choose the the the thing that makes you
00:25:25.200
you're just throwing the ball you're just throwing the ball you're not you're not really aiming in any
00:25:29.280
meaningful way whereas with the rest of the world is is playing with the gutters and they end up in
00:25:36.400
the gutters when they screw up and and that changes everything learn for example how incompetent
00:25:42.640
the masses are one of the the first things you learn if you're managing lots of people
00:25:47.040
is how incompetent your average person is and that that it is really hard i mean that's what makes
00:25:52.800
management hard is you can't just handle everything yourself right and fortunately ai has fixed that for
00:25:58.640
me because now i just use more and more ai employees and i'm working on building more and more ai
00:26:02.720
employees well it enables you to to you you now only have to work or can choose to work with the top
00:26:10.480
point one percent which is so nice you don't have to depend on anyone else yeah which is going to
00:26:16.240
potentially make a system like communism well not traditional communism maybe some sort of like ubi
00:26:20.560
system but that will have huge negative effects watch all our videos on how bad ubi is so like i don't
00:26:25.120
know where humanity is going we'll probably need some sort of like simulated hardship especially once we
00:26:29.680
enter a yeah people are gonna need to have jobs that's it yeah um but what i can say is we're not
00:26:39.280
headed to gay space communism it's very unlikely when you look at fertility rates because people
00:26:43.600
who accept these types of ideas have incredibly low fertility rates and they have historically as
00:26:47.760
well as we point out like east berlin had much lower fertility rates in west berlin east austria which
00:26:52.080
by the way one of our fans didn't realize that austria was divided like germany it was i had much
00:26:55.680
lower fertility rates in west austria and the soviet states had lower fertility rates and so the the
00:27:00.880
during the baby room and so the question is is like how do you people and you know within most
00:27:06.080
countries the more leftist you are the fewer kids you have so they're just not going to exist in the
00:27:09.040
future and so we're much more likely to have like the austere techno puritan like spaceships and and
00:27:13.680
catholic spaceships and the we'll say right we're we're heading much much more to the warhammer future
00:27:19.280
okay than the i i'd say even starship troopers or star trek futures so it i i think that that's it
00:27:28.080
i think it's it's that i also think that if you are born into wealth and privilege and you expect to
00:27:35.520
inherit money and i have noticed this the kids who go communists are the kids whose parents set up
00:27:40.720
systems for them where they inspect to inherit wealth if i look at my wider family which i've often
00:27:45.520
pointed out is incredibly successful you know we i i know the way i was raised i was always raised
00:27:52.800
the expectation that i'd inherit nothing and not only have we been incredibly successful
00:27:57.040
financially like most of them i am the big failure in the family i i literally have three siblings or
00:28:02.480
cousins that run a fund that's like around a billion dollars and then others that run like major ai
00:28:08.160
studios and stuff like that that you've heard and he means each then it's not the same these are all
00:28:12.080
separate not the same it's separate funds that they other people gave them control of not like
00:28:17.680
family money or something like that and so and they're usually pretty conservative most of my
00:28:23.120
family is pretty conservative except for one of the uncles who used to run the fed but he wasn't raised
00:28:27.440
in the family so the or at least they're not like far woke or whatever right and so i think that what
00:28:33.200
it is that it depends on how you're raised the family are you raised with sort of the expectation of
00:28:37.920
a life of luxury without and this is i've noticed this was rich families as well which can create
00:28:42.880
this problem is the family will give disproportionate attention to a disproportionate money to
00:28:50.320
whoever is the loudest member of the family and whoever is willing to do the most you know work on
00:28:54.640
trying to gain control of the trust and everything like that and these are often the least competent
00:28:59.040
individuals because they don't have another way to make money right like if you if you're competent you
00:29:03.600
go out and you make money in some other way and if you're incompetent well then you stay within the
00:29:07.440
family and so their lifestyle structurally looks like communism and i think the reason they argue
00:29:13.200
for communism is because they think could i go out in the world and like make something useful that
00:29:18.720
people want and will pay for and that helps other people like no like i don't want to do that so i will
00:29:24.640
play a game that doesn't have metrics right which is the game of revolution and a game that can make
00:29:31.280
everybody's life like my life so i don't have to live with this cognitive dissonance without really
00:29:35.040
thinking about the actual consequences of what they're doing any thoughts simone i am curious to
00:29:44.880
know if there are any major communist or socialist leaders who came from a background of poverty did
00:29:52.480
you look that up i can look that up i mean i'm sure it'll find at least one sorry i'd look it up but
00:29:58.480
he's gassy and i'm trying to get him to let it out trying the stomach massage the the foot thing the
00:30:07.440
the backpats burping bubbles gotta go i mean i i named almost all of them in that list right like
00:30:15.760
there yeah yeah he left after that list but like potentially i just want to see how how far down it
00:30:20.880
has to go in terms did you mention stalin stalin but stalin was the consolidator right he was the
00:30:30.720
guy who had to make things work he wasn't actually like a communist communist you know he was like
00:30:35.360
i'm going to take advantage of these rich idiots and have them all murdered so that i can rule things my
00:30:39.680
way let's see i'll check out selling here you asked no he was impoverished yeah stalin there you go
00:30:50.080
that makes sense because he was a tough mofo like right he also wasn't like motivated by communist
00:30:54.800
ideals either he was motivated by power and well killing the the rich burgundy people or whatever
00:31:02.480
the burgundy stalin kyle gorbachev but again he like worked his way up so that's not really hugo chavez
00:31:12.000
that's uh that's uh that's not a a great way to say so there were a couple but these are these are
00:31:20.320
more people who worked they're not ideological pioneers they were more famous leaders yeah yeah
00:31:27.600
this is uh yeah no i mean i i've noticed the trend i've really wondered about it that maybe this this
00:31:34.560
is this dovetails with the concept of luxury beliefs as well that especially in a in a pre-singularity
00:31:40.880
world socialism and communism is a luxury belief and it's not practical and only more resourced
00:31:47.600
people can have what what socialism and communism are is they're functionally a monopoly of the state
00:31:52.320
by one company yeah like that's what they always turn into decentralized that's why i often say that
00:31:58.880
extreme libertarianism and extreme communism are functionally the same belief system yeah because
00:32:04.240
both systems in is with and this is the thing what i'd say functionally the same neither of them
00:32:10.960
intends on this being the outcome but both of them lead to this outcome by decentralizing power too much
00:32:18.880
decentralized power in a systemic way you allow anyone who is willing to play counter to the system to
00:32:25.920
re-centralize power among themselves and so with extreme libertarianism you end up with one company
00:32:31.840
owning everything or maybe in a better case like three or four companies owning everything and then
00:32:36.640
in communism you end up with just one company owning everything i mean
00:32:42.800
what is a state that decides where things go like where food is distributed where housing is distributed
00:32:50.880
any different from a company factory town yeah right and you could say well the company factory town
00:32:57.200
at the end of the day yes it decides how you eat how you get your food it manages all that but at the
00:33:02.560
end it's exporting profits to the owners right and i'm like well communist systems functionally do the
00:33:09.200
thing for the leadership i mean look at the way you know they're living in north korea and you could say
00:33:13.840
well it's not supposed to do that and it's like it doesn't matter that it's not supposed to do that
00:33:18.000
the the person with the most power in the system basically even if they didn't want to abuse that power
00:33:24.560
they're forced to because the people under them with the next most power are going to want their
00:33:29.360
payoff they're going to be like where's my so you don't just need one person to be like perfectly
00:33:35.920
moral for a communist framework to work yeah you need an entire chain of leadership to be perfectly
00:33:40.800
moral and that's not realistic no outside of a world with ai if ai was managing that leadership
00:33:47.440
so it could work it could work well this was interesting thank you and i love you a lot
00:33:54.400
i gotta go take care of this all right love you so much i'm sorry you got a cry baby there he's gassy
00:34:00.320
he's a gassy giant and as you say like i think i do agree that i think communism and stuff like that
00:34:04.960
is going to come back to the left and i think one of the things are going to be surprised about a lot
00:34:08.400
of people on the right is we're like well i mean with ai it could work yeah i mean ai really is probably
00:34:13.280
going to take most jobs we should be looking at how we're going to capture things economically speaking
00:34:18.320
yeah all right i'm going to go help them fart i love you love you too i'll see you downstairs later
00:34:25.040
bye bye okay just go for it all right let's have a look here it's being weird for me sorry oh what am
00:34:35.280
i making you for dinner by the way oh we have one more night of that curry i was thinking maybe
00:34:38.960
some kind of your enchiladas are always really good if you make them with something like this
00:34:43.440
uh is okay if i do taquitos with mozzarella because we we only have american cheese and mozzarella left
00:34:47.920
we don't have any yeah that works but i you've got to cut what's in it into smaller pieces if you're
00:34:54.240
doing taquitos because it's pretty big chunks in this one okay then i i will i will finally chop it
00:35:00.720
hands in gloves yes you will put your hands in chain mail because i do not want another finger
00:35:06.960
coming off i am sorry simone that i am such a strict taskmaster as a husband thank you guys we're
00:35:28.480
torsten she's trying to help your sister what do you torsten torsten no what do you think mommy is
