this guy i absolutely love this guy what would happen to a gay couple in ghazza executed according
00:00:07.980
to islamic law islam doesn't endorse gays islam doesn't endorse homosexuality just like canada
00:00:13.760
doesn't endorse a lot of things so would you like to see sharia law in canada replace canadian law
00:00:18.080
at some point it will you know because we are we have families we are making babies
00:00:22.640
you're not your population is going down the slump right if by 2060 according to pure research
00:00:28.720
institute your research by 2060 muslims will be the biggest religious group the world over what are
00:00:35.440
you going to do then actually go post sharia is even then well you know what i'm very appreciative
00:00:41.440
of the honesty we don't usually get that one day we can have a muslim majority nation here in canada
00:00:45.940
right in your face we are going to be showing you guys this clip that we just watched again
00:00:51.700
and spend an episode talking about the clip because i think the clip is wonderful for just
00:01:00.460
a number of reasons would you like to know more i love the way the guy argues for islamic value
00:01:07.240
systems um actually let's just start with that because i think that's really interesting
00:01:12.420
by the way he doesn't say this is what i want this is what we need he just says this is what it's going
00:01:18.260
to be yeah this is what is happening by current statistics yeah um statistics i love that and i
00:01:25.400
would argue that i think he's wrong about the way this is going to play out but i love the vitalism
00:01:30.020
and i think that like when you are approaching issues of pronatalism you need to be approaching it like
00:01:36.740
this guy um we might not be on exactly the same team but i am probably closer to his team than i am to
00:01:44.640
some of the other teams out there right now well i really appreciate about his mindset too and i feel
00:01:49.460
this way about so many things is that and and this is also pervasive in your views of other people and
00:01:54.640
whether or not they matter is you get to own something to influence it to have a say when you
00:02:03.880
are literally building it and that means that your children will be there representing the future you're
00:02:08.440
having children they'll be in the future or if you have a problem with a policy then you get to
00:02:14.100
complain about it if you're trying to fix it you have a problem with the company you get to complain
00:02:17.640
about it if you're trying to fix it but you don't like the all this whining that takes place online
00:02:22.060
among people who aren't actually doing anything to build it themselves or build something better or
00:02:27.740
change something they have no say in this that is a great point and i want to expand on it because i
00:02:34.240
hadn't thought of it this way before but people who have and raise children are building the future
00:02:40.660
and therefore have ownership over that future almost axiomatically yeah where you have far like
00:02:47.040
urban monoculture brain or far like progressive brain they look at the world through this socialist
00:02:52.800
lens where regardless of the effort that you have put into something everybody deserves some level of
00:03:00.200
equal say in whatever is happening i.e the future of humanity etc and even though they aren't putting
00:03:06.160
in the effort to have and raise children they believe that this normative ethical system that
00:03:12.840
they have built and that is going extinct with them is going to give them the ability to pressure other
00:03:19.280
people into their types of beliefs and i think this mindset made sense at one point in human history when
00:03:25.440
people lived in small collective clans or tribes where everyone did inherently play a crucial role
00:03:32.000
even if you were a child you were someone's future old age safety strategy if no matter who you were
00:03:37.520
you're providing something and therefore to feel that you were entitled to the way things were run
00:03:42.540
mattered i think what people are missing in modern socialist worlds and america is fairly socialist when
00:03:48.460
you look at the number of social programs we have and most developed nations seem to be
00:03:52.360
not russia as much not i'm kind of china china has almost no social program yeah basically we're way
00:03:58.020
more socialist than china which is hilarious but the way socialism works modernly is the average human
00:04:05.420
citizen especially one who is benefiting from the state is actually not contributing in that way they're
00:04:11.480
not providing any value and they are primarily a leech and it is mostly businesses and wealthier
00:04:17.020
taxpayers who are producing and making money and they have jobs that are really entitled to
00:04:22.180
something so i think that maybe this mindset evolved in people and culturally was okay in those previous
00:04:28.000
systems where it was almost impossible like that you wouldn't be alive if you weren't contributing
00:04:33.340
right whereas now that's broken and yet we haven't changed our culture around that kind of mindset
00:04:38.080
but what's important to note and i think people believe that he and his kids will adopt their cultural
00:04:45.620
system oh yeah their cultural system is enlightened and correct and based on science and all these
00:04:50.240
and it's just it won't like the fertility rates in even if he has 10 kids and two of them adopt your
00:04:55.920
culture and then they have no kids then they're just going to disappear as well exactly it's only the
00:05:00.180
ones that maintain this hard culture or a version of it and of course there may be a version that is
00:05:04.540
lgbtq friendly but let's talk about his lgbtqia or whatever statements there because i thought that they
00:05:12.100
were really interesting and they do a very good job of signaling that the form of cultural imperialism
00:05:18.300
that he feels from the left and basically saying that this is not something that you will be able
00:05:23.980
to continue to implement and if you think you will you don't understand the cultures you're interacting
00:05:29.580
with specifically the statement that you brought up to me and i really love this was you know in canada
00:05:37.260
you have laws too he's just saying our laws aren't your laws but you have laws that can seem arbitrary
00:05:45.560
to other cultural groups and we have laws that can seem arbitrary to other cultural groups but in
00:05:49.980
the future because we're going to be the majority population in this country that's what you're going
00:05:55.040
to get yeah these laws should be the normative laws of this yeah and he's right in your face
00:06:00.440
yeah well what's what's funny is how both intolerant and pluralistic he comes across at the same time
00:06:06.280
right because on one hand he's yeah like kill gays obviously and then on the other hand he's just like
00:06:10.620
you have beliefs in canada too which is great but then he's oh but by the way we're going to be like
00:06:15.580
this is the law that's going to govern you in the future you know it should be aware that the way that
00:06:20.440
he and again you've got to think too many people think about this like a progressive they're like he
00:06:25.500
wants to go out there and kill people and that's just like a no that is not what he's thinking in his
00:06:31.500
head he thinks in his head what i just want is for people who are born same-sex attracted to either
00:06:39.540
not act on it or become transitioned and interestingly that aligns with what a lot of
00:06:45.540
progressives these days seem to want anyway just transition them if you got a kid who's questioning
00:06:50.280
their gender just transition them fixes it and it's okay with the islamists but i also think that this
00:06:55.440
is really interesting is this denial and i don't know where it comes from that this is a part of
00:07:01.920
islamic culture in the leftist mindset like the gays for gaza situation and i'm very confused by the
00:07:10.620
did they i think they just genuinely think that this is a far-right conspiracy that muslims believe
00:07:15.920
this is that what you think it is i haven't looked into gays for gaza so i honestly don't know but i can
00:07:23.160
only imagine that they do not understand the full policy at play right so yeah i think it's
00:07:33.820
no there could be like a super based view where they're like no i support their right to hate gays
00:07:39.120
just as much as i support my right to love gays like it could be that it could be that they're so
00:07:43.640
hyper pluralistic that's where they're going with this i don't think so no i don't think that's it
00:07:49.600
yeah it doesn't seem like it it seems more like the same with any sort of palestine group which is
00:07:54.840
like oh they're just fairly misinformed about hamas and many other things that are going on and that's
00:08:00.920
why i think i understand so i was just thinking about it for a moment trying to see this from a truly
00:08:06.060
progressive perspective okay it's they are aware that this is happening but because they don't trust
00:08:12.600
the media when it comes to negative facts about muslim cultural groups they assume that it's being
00:08:19.460
over-reported and it's only uh small groups of rural extremists and they also think that they
00:08:25.660
live in a country where gays are being killed all the time for being gay so from their perspective oh
00:08:30.780
there's small rural extremists over there that do this there's small rural extremists over here that
00:08:35.820
do this and for both of those rural extremist communities we will eventually convert them to our
00:08:42.000
way of seeing things because their culture doesn't have a right to exist and we should extinguish it
00:08:47.960
and so when they look at them they don't see a muslim cultural group they see brown people who are
00:08:56.100
future converts to their cultural group and in the in light of them being brown people and being the
00:09:02.700
weaker side of a conflict they are inherently slated for a higher status position with in the larger
00:09:11.980
progressive power hierarchy no questions asked yeah which also makes them think that these
00:09:17.820
individuals are like intrinsically sort of high status and won't have a problem with this like
00:09:22.400
they don't mind their imperialism or their plans to wipe out this cultural group because they are like yeah
00:09:30.460
we'll extinguish their cultural group but we'll give their actual children positions of status
00:09:34.500
was in this new order that we're creating and therefore there's nothing unethical about it
00:09:39.280
the problem is just it doesn't work woke ideas have not spread very far in the islamist world
00:09:46.180
but you don't have when you have pride week and stuff like that there's always the famous sign where
00:09:52.140
they show all the western companies logos for pride week western accounts and then they show all their
00:09:57.560
middle eastern accounts and you see nothing this isn't to say that their cultures aren't susceptible
00:10:02.280
to this but i think that often when they hit this they lose a lot more of their culture than even
00:10:10.180
westerners do what i mean by that is is that when muslim children are taken by the urban monoculture
00:10:18.500
more of their original cultural practices and beliefs and perspectives are erased than when progressives
00:10:25.760
are taken by the urban monoculture and i should also note here that there are different muslim
00:10:30.280
cultural groups and there are some muslim cultural groups that take a much more soft perspective to
00:10:37.200
their religion and don't have these incredibly strict restrictions against things like the lgbt
00:10:42.240
community however those cultural groups typically have much lower fertility rates and so don't really
00:10:49.280
matter in terms of this conversation um problem any further thoughts on this particular point simone
00:10:54.800
no i'm with you on that it's just i think it's a wake-up call to lgbt groups that if you want a future
00:11:04.620
that supports open gay marriages and even just relations you gotta figure out demographic collapse
00:11:15.380
stat because this is he's so right he's just right and he states it plainly and i think that's the other
00:11:22.180
thing about pronatalism which really sucks is that the people who are going to create a future that
00:11:30.080
everyone blames us for trying to create is pronatalist right like you're going to make a handmaid's tale
00:11:35.260
you're going to take away people's rights you're going to take away productive rights all these things
00:11:38.640
like that is anyone who does support those things is just very quiet because they're they know that's
00:11:45.700
a default anyone who's talking about this openly they're talking about it because they're not super
00:11:51.160
cool with the default and what i love about what this guy is just saying like openly on the streets
00:11:56.640
is just like that he's showing the default in a way that i don't think anyone else is because any other
00:12:02.460
group that knows this to be true isn't going to talk about it yeah now here's where he's wrong the
00:12:08.000
future is not muslim yes muslims will be the dominant world religion eventually i think that's pretty
00:12:13.900
obvious from the current statistics but muslims have a higher fertility rate than other regions
00:12:19.600
because so first we should note there are multiple muslim cultural groups some of these groups i think
00:12:26.180
are more american than most americans for example i find the persian muslim cultural group i always joke
00:12:32.260
that if you like trump you like persians like he is very persian coded to me much more than he's coded
00:12:38.240
as like a wasp or something like that very entrepreneurial very american in many ways there's many different
00:12:42.820
muslim groups that are just like really american or in other ways groups that i identify with but
00:12:49.840
then there's also what i would say is that there's a high correlation though between how much a muslim
00:12:55.980
cultural group is one of the cultural groups that i have a cultural affinity to and how low their
00:13:01.220
fertility rate is well typically the groups i have a higher affinity to being lower fertility unfortunately
00:13:07.140
because we are socially much more progressive than your typical conservative yeah but i i would note
00:13:15.720
here no i don't think that's the only reason i think that there's another reason islam is not as a
00:13:22.240
religion particularly protective of fertility rates as we see between religious communities different
00:13:30.460
levels of fertility protection based upon the income that group achieves and for example we
00:13:37.220
contrast like catholics and orthodox christians which typically have lower fertility rates when
00:13:41.380
contrasted with when held in constant with income with protestant groups which typically have much higher
00:13:46.720
fertility rates and jewish groups which typically have much higher fertility rates when held at the
00:13:51.820
same level of income as like catholic and orthodox groups if you put muslim groups into this spectrum
00:13:56.260
they are not as bad as catholic and orthodox groups but they're only a smidge better they're
00:14:01.560
certainly not up with the jewish groups they're certainly not up with the protestant groups and so then
00:14:07.380
people are like why do some muslim groups have such high fertility rates and it is because they engage
00:14:15.340
in cultural practices that lower their economic potential which means that because they're at this
00:14:21.520
lower economic potential they're producing more kids remember if we're holding if i'm saying
00:14:25.980
at the same economic level most muslim cultural groups actually are just not that high fertility
00:14:31.580
you you can cheese that by lowering the economic potential of a group those groups therefore are
00:14:38.520
not going to be able to rule the future because they are dependent on more productive groups to
00:14:46.080
either maintain their lifestyles or maintain their governments and infrastructure so
00:14:50.640
what people are missing is a lot of people are like but homas will just take over israel that's the
00:14:55.840
correct thing it's their land whatever but homas literally had a plan to enslave the most productive
00:15:00.240
high producing jews in israel that was they understood that they had like we have to keep them we have to
00:15:08.380
keep them had no economic value to them and the land of israel had no economic value to them the jews
00:15:15.640
were the thing of economic value and they would only win if they enslaved them yeah and then people also
00:15:21.560
are constantly talking but in europe like all these refugee groups of super high like rates of
00:15:26.860
reproduction their birth rates are way higher they're going to replace everyone else if that happens those
00:15:30.400
countries those nations and they don't and they don't change their lifestyles if they don't become the
00:15:34.160
economic producers and taxpayers of those nations will become completely hamstringed they won't
00:15:39.740
function and those nations will not have influence on the future so again like what you're arguing in
00:15:45.740
other words is for anyone to have influence over the future they have to be economically productive
00:15:51.900
and technologically engaged to a certain extent and once most groups become economically productive
00:15:58.820
and engaged unless they have some unique good hard culture technology to protect them from lowering
00:16:03.740
fertility which islam doesn't then they will see lower birth rates even muslim groups even muslim
00:16:09.080
groups yeah you go to your muslim friends who have phds or who work on wall street they are very low
00:16:16.040
fertility and we have a lot of muslim friends in this category they are very low fertility and you
00:16:20.980
actually a really interesting thing that you pointed out is you're like in these muslim majority
00:16:24.860
countries who's actually like running the economies in the industry you go to the uae you go to saudi arabia
00:16:33.140
you go to qatar and who's actually putting in the legwork to operate a lot of these companies it's
00:16:40.420
not people from the muslim cultural groups it's often people who are imported from india or the united
00:16:46.320
states and even as they grow functionally the decisions who decides where saudi ramco's capital is
00:16:55.100
invested it's mostly a room full of jews and white people okay so the actual power of these giant
00:17:03.180
islamic states is still fundamentally being made by other cultural groups so what you're saying
00:17:09.700
essentially is that islamic groups still have to figure out how in the face of modernity wealth and
00:17:17.260
high education they're going to maintain high fertility rates because that hasn't been figured out
00:17:21.580
and that's the subtext under this clip that is not being discussed everyone just takes it for
00:17:26.780
granted that oh of course yeah there will be more muslims than anyone else in the future because
00:17:30.760
they're the only ones who are still having kids that's very similar to the same arguments that we
00:17:34.520
hear from people who are like oh it just means that we're just going to have africans in the future
00:17:38.500
because they're the only ones who are still having lots of kids no both of these groups have not
00:17:43.020
figured out how to maintain high birth rates once they develop once they see more wealth once they gain
00:17:47.660
the influence that we would love to see them gain that's the interesting thing and i think that's
00:17:52.000
under discussed in prenatalist discussions yeah and i think this is you look at gaza and everyone's
00:17:56.760
always talking about look at how big the population of gaza is look at how big the population of gaza
00:18:00.440
is one of the densest areas to live in the world and then you look at that and yeah but nobody thinks
00:18:04.740
that gaza has a real shot at winning against israel like why is that the case because it's not about
00:18:10.100
population size it's about the economic productivity of a population and so you can cheese people all you want
00:18:16.540
now numbers help numbers aren't nothing but numbers can also be a liability once you have
00:18:21.460
a lot of people in a country who are very dissatisfied not getting enough food not getting any security
00:18:27.540
you're going to have a revolution you're going to have a complete mess so yes humans are a strength
00:18:31.760
they're a liability it's not the answer yeah so within every community i always feel like it's up for
00:18:37.460
the communities to find a way to save themselves and when we did our catholic episode we're like the core
00:18:42.920
catholic problem is an inability to motivate fertility among their members that is the core
00:18:48.720
catholic problem and if they can't find a way to change that and this is even true of religiously
00:18:54.760
devout catholics by the statistics as we've shown they're in trouble muslims actually have a different
00:19:00.920
problem the muslim problem is much more around how to ensure economic and technological productivity
00:19:10.440
amongst the iterations of their culture that are high fertility because if they don't do that
00:19:17.860
here's what's going to happen you are going to begin to see countries that have been taking in
00:19:23.640
lots of muslim immigrants begin to become politically because many of these lower economic potential high
00:19:31.520
fertility muslim cultural subgroups do believe they have as this man stated an ethical incentive to
00:19:38.520
ensure that sharia law is the law of the land in the countries that they live in and they are going
00:19:44.380
to begin implementing that within other countries once this is done basically the first time in a
00:19:51.420
country that formerly would have been a developed world country you're gonna it's gonna be very much
00:19:56.420
like when putin attacked the ukraine where everyone's oh this is actually a threat and then other
00:20:03.120
other countries whether it's the u.s etc are going to have a large political and likely empowered
00:20:09.900
faction within them that believes that they have a political mandate to deal with a population of the
00:20:17.660
muslim population in their country that they believe could undergo this same transformation if it continues
00:20:22.980
to grow and that's where you're going to get real and violent bloodshed against muslim cultural groups
00:20:31.380
that wouldn't do that that is the real threat within the muslim world where if you're from one of these
00:20:39.100
more you're like well i'm from one of the more like progressive e muslim cultural subgroups right like
00:20:43.800
one of the more technologically engaged economically engaged fine your biggest threat is the extremist
00:20:51.380
muslims because if they win everywhere there's going to be other factions that assume that you are part of
00:20:59.420
their mandate and that is a unique cultural problem to have catholics have it to some extent
00:21:06.460
because there's definitely catholic groups that follow the the syllabus of errors that we talked about
00:21:12.020
post pious and knights putting out which is basically a catholic version of sharia law that basically says
00:21:18.120
that once catholics reach a certain population was in a country they have a mandate to enact catholic uh
00:21:23.200
religious like a theocracy basically that mandates catholic value systems and so individuals who follow this
00:21:30.840
the reason why this isn't really a threat to catholics is because catholics that are religiously observant are
00:21:36.480
so low fertility that there really isn't a threat of them becoming a dominant political faction in any country
00:21:42.820
or not anytime soon at least uh but if they ever did and they enacted this then every other country would see
00:21:50.240
the catholic minority population as a threat and this is why it is so dangerous culturally to take one of
00:21:56.620
these stances it like seems really cool and tough and and i have people online will front we want a country
00:22:03.920
that's ruled under my value system and it's like you really don't want that because if you win in like
00:22:09.780
small malta now all of a sudden there's a mandate to get rid of anyone who looks like they might be part of
00:22:17.000
your culture pretty much everywhere else in the world where you're not a majority yet yeah then you
00:22:21.240
become a threat and this is very similar to your argument about ai when you make it such that any
00:22:27.300
other group will have to eliminate you if you exist then you're going to have to try to eliminate them
00:22:34.320
and we don't want to create a world like that for ai or for different cultural groups and religious groups
00:22:39.640
this is the thing about having a pluralist framing i think so many people see
00:22:43.100
our drive towards pluralism as downstream of still having like latent progressive or urban
00:22:50.060
monocultury values or like aesthetically valuing yeah we want pluralism because it's good and the
00:22:56.640
rainbow faces is such a nice thing to see yeah and that is just very foolish i think we see pluralism as
00:23:04.660
a strategy pluralism especially in a world of collapsing fertility rates where fertility rates are higher
00:23:10.800
often in more diverse countries when you're controlling for wealth as we often point out
00:23:15.160
you look at really non-diverse countries like south korea or japan or china and you see an unusually low
00:23:21.900
fertility rate you look at really diverse countries states and you see unusually higher fertility rates
00:23:26.080
this is likely because believing you have an existential threat um near you not for progressive reasons
00:23:34.980
but like a cultural group that is genuinely different from yours than in competition was yours
00:23:39.120
seems to increase fertility rates i often say that if you one really interesting cultural dynamic
00:23:45.880
that we may see is a certain muslim and jewish populations living side by side out competing other
00:23:52.520
populations in cash adjusted fertility rates because each group and i'm not talking about the type of
00:23:58.280
muslim and jewish populations that don't hate each other i'm talking about the type that do hate each other
00:24:02.180
that creates a synergistic i actually think that's why both israel and gaza's fertility rates were so
00:24:08.180
unusually high was because they did believe there was an existential threat so much so that it likely
00:24:14.780
offsets in both countries the deaths that will be associated with this particular conflict in terms of
00:24:21.280
the motivated fertility before and after this conflict which is really interesting you know i don't know if
00:24:27.500
it's necessarily out of this drive to beat the competition i think a lot of it is similar to what you've
00:24:32.580
seen with typhoons in southeast asia killing villages where like researchers found that birth rates were
00:24:37.780
higher when you were in a village that was uniquely devastated and saw a uniquely high loss of life
00:24:43.520
so i think there's also just something about birth rates that responds to tragedy where you're just like
00:24:48.300
i need hope i need children you know i hear that but i think that probably the bigger influencer is on the
00:24:54.120
competing cultural subgroup if we lived in a culturally diverse environment and those cultures had no level
00:25:01.280
of antagonism towards each other i do not think they would reinforce the other group's fertility rate
00:25:05.920
i think you need a cultural diversity with a level of uh healthy competitive antagonism i think
00:25:13.760
obviously it can go too far i think that what's going on with gaza right now is obviously at a
00:25:18.740
completely unhealthy yeah we're talking about football game rivalry not we're talking about
00:25:26.220
protestants and catholics in the united states i think that's a good level of cultural antagonism
00:25:31.840
like a or our podcast probably the way that our podcast sometimes talks about other groups
00:25:36.940
and respect for them existing but i do not trash talking we like trash talking we don't like
00:25:43.440
we don't like raping we don't do that yeah like i i really don't mind being in an environment where
00:25:50.880
catholics talk about like the ways that our family breeds like with ivf and genetic selection and stuff
00:25:56.020
like that and they're like oh it's horrible you're monsters but they're not coming and killing us i'm
00:26:00.000
like that's a good level of cultural competition there because they're trying to have our kids taken
00:26:04.380
away there's sometimes when the when they go too far no i agree but i don't think that's religious
00:26:08.240
people doing that i think that's the urban monoculture i think the people calling cps are all urban
00:26:12.200
monoculture these are not catholic moms i think the but when i see like the catholics being like oh
00:26:17.400
you guys are monsters everything like that it motivates me to have more kids and to solidify my
00:26:22.300
culture and to steal my culture because i am reminded that my neighbors are the other or or you're
00:26:28.780
reminded what you stand for and why you stand for it too i think when people criticize you you socially
00:26:35.180
um are incentivized to question am i right here do i actually want to stand with what i'm standing
00:26:40.840
with if i'm going to catch all this shit for it and then if you do decide that you want to stay
00:26:45.380
hold your ground you're going to be even more dedicated to your stance because you've thought
00:26:50.620
through it and you've committed to it despite the cost so i think that's also many catholics are going
00:26:56.180
to be the same as us they they watch our podcast and they see something that's so culturally distinct
00:27:00.660
from them one it's interesting because it's a unique perspective in the same way that i really like
00:27:04.600
watching like responses to our you know catholic videos because they give me a unique perspective
00:27:08.660
that i have a very hard time emulating like catholic arguments are very difficult for me to emulate i
00:27:14.240
can go through it they'll be like oh this one saint back in this time said giving fellatio was a sin
00:27:20.480
and in in these ways ivf is like fellatio wait there are people comparing ivf yeah i was going
00:27:27.280
through the discord arguments and i was like this is very odd like i i genuinely um but it but it's
00:27:33.360
being discussed in the discord you've got to keep including links to that in yeah it was a very um
00:27:38.900
catholic like way of engaging with it to go back to someone who is a historically respected intellectual
00:27:44.960
and try to apply their reasoning to a modern context and i love that i love that because it's
00:27:52.940
something i never ever would have considered doing myself and so i learned from that but i think that
00:27:58.080
when these people are horrified by us they're motivated to yeah for their own cultural groups i think
00:28:02.220
that this is just the pluralism that we advocate for is not because i think it's good uh that muslims
00:28:10.260
ban their kids from same-sex relationships i wouldn't do that from for my kids but i don't think i have
00:28:17.440
the right to within muslim families say that they should be handling their family separately and so i think
00:28:24.180
that because of that uh so long as they are not one of the groups that wants to institute sharia law and
00:28:29.500
we can talk about these groups in just a second because of that i am further motivated to create
00:28:35.380
a culture where my kids can make that choice but building the future means having the kids
00:28:40.180
now in regards to the groups that actually do want to create sharia law and as soon as they become the
00:28:46.880
majority i think that these individuals and keep in mind they don't just exist within muslim populations
00:28:52.760
some exist within for example catholic populations we were talking about the syllabus of eras and they
00:28:57.360
exist within a few different some evangelicals fall into this framework these groups are an absolutely
00:29:03.940
existential threat to our group we do not know how we're realistically going to um deal with these
00:29:12.120
groups like some people in the server were like what are you guys going to do if ivf is banned in the
00:29:18.040
district that you live or in the region that you live and the answer would be travel for it so many
00:29:22.940
people already travel for ivf people travel all the way from china to do ivf in the united states for
00:29:28.180
various reasons people have to travel to the united states for surrogacy as well to do ivf because they
00:29:33.360
can't do it in other countries you just do what and this is the same with issues like abortion this is
00:29:38.980
going to be the same if people ban things like pgtp they're just going basically it means that those who
00:29:44.980
have the means or the dedication to do it they'll still get it done and those who are ambivalent
00:29:50.280
about it won't and will we have enough money to travel to other nations it'll strain us but
00:29:56.700
when we made when we did all our rounds of ivf we literally lived on a mattress in a studio apartment
00:30:02.620
in doral florida like it was fine i think that's what it's going to come down we make it work and i think
00:30:08.980
that's what it means to be an economically productive cultural group in that we're never genuinely
00:30:14.040
afraid of not having money we will always find out how to make something work because we are
00:30:19.480
productive yeah actually that's an interesting theme maybe it deserves its own conversation someday
00:30:24.720
that when people argue that money is the reason why they can't do something that's it really means
00:30:31.000
that they don't have enough dedication to do it um because money has it can obviously make things easy
00:30:36.440
for people who are ambivalent but when you are extremely dedicated to making something happen
00:30:40.780
you make it work regardless of your level of resources yeah but also you can play this out
00:30:45.400
they're like okay yeah but what if they ban like you from coming back if you've done this like they
00:30:49.720
they absolutely yeah because then you're like marked as a murderer of genetic selection from being in
00:30:55.100
your country and the answer is that then people of our cultural group leave this country and if we turn
00:31:00.640
out to be an intergenerationally very high fertility cultural group while maintaining our economic and
00:31:06.700
technological productivity that is a very bad move for the people who have banned us for two reasons one
00:31:13.080
is is that they've lost any productivity that they could have gotten very much like when the nazis scared
00:31:18.000
away all the nuclear scientists to the united states who were disproportionately jewish but then two
00:31:24.480
then you've got people who can be used by groups that hate you to build their nuclear bombs which then come
00:31:32.600
back and hit your country the axis powers they um they put the jewish scientists in the hands of the
00:31:40.020
americans which built nuclear bombs which then ended up being dropped on japan right like the axis powers
00:31:46.960
if groups go around and they say anybody who engages with genetics or something like that we're going to go
00:31:54.420
and we're going to exterminate you then what happens then these individuals leave and these individuals
00:32:01.180
would be a great asset remember when we were talking about some of these competing power
00:32:05.560
structures that don't mind funding outsiders to a group like saudi arabia or like the uae that might
00:32:12.840
want to fund these types of experiments to uh maybe act on something in the future and if this is just
00:32:19.820
incredibly stupid to do not that we would do that like i wouldn't engage with that sort of stuff but i
00:32:26.480
suppose it depends on how aggressive the groups are going after me if i feel like america becomes
00:32:32.140
the type of country where it is always an existential risk to people of my basically cultural
00:32:37.680
ethno group then am i going to want to build defenses to that using the arbitrage that i have
00:32:44.280
and what's the arbitrage that i would always have access to it's genetic technology because
00:32:49.600
so it's it's just stupid like it's a culturally stupid strategy and there is a reason why you
00:32:56.900
shouldn't go after the scientists first especially when they have somewhere else to go because then
00:33:02.120
it's the the enemy of my enemy is my friend thing um exactly which is again a lot of the positions
00:33:09.040
that i think people can misunderstand of ours as being urban monocultury influenced are actually just
00:33:14.660
strategic and yeah because we're thinking long term and they're thinking about like the current
00:33:19.980
conservative social aesthetic yeah we support the things they support just not for the reasons they
00:33:26.020
do sometimes sometimes anyway love you simone i love you too gorgeous and this guy is so based we
00:33:34.560
should have him on sometime if he's open to come on i i love just how he's spitting facts here
00:33:39.800
yeah but not seemingly with malice or hatred or xenophobia it's just matter of fact and i love that
00:33:46.160
this is gonna happen what are you guys talking about it's great it's great good job sir
