00:16:30.500because westerners are so attracted you know i'm attracted but well some that's not good but they're
00:16:35.700so into cute animals and this is to fuck with them um but then i was also looking at that i'm like
00:16:41.880but it doesn't look like she's pampering the animal or anything it looks almost ritualistic
00:16:48.880that she's cleaning it and drying the bunny as if she was prepping the food you know what i mean
00:16:55.420like washing like a black people wash their meat i'm like is that part but that seems purposeless
00:17:01.580because why would you bathe an animal before you slaughter it like is is this is it a meme
00:17:07.860is it confusion is it to fuck with people is it because i'm not offended and the other thing
00:17:14.060people are saying was oh so what's wrong with showing people that their their food was alive
00:17:20.100what's wrong with exposing people to the fact that these animals and i'm like i i'm not against that
00:17:24.960Perhaps. I'm not against that being normalized in the West scene, reminding people that this chicken is a chicken. Look at the meat where it comes from. Farm life. All that. I'm not like, oh, how dare you show the cute bunny? It's just something seemed off. And I want to hear your thoughts about this because we discussed this. But based on this conflagration of ideas I came out with, what's your read on the situation?
00:17:53.860well you got to establish right away people in china don't actually do this like this is just
00:17:58.140a weird thing that's been completely staged for a tiktok video the question is why did they do it
00:18:03.760for the video and why is it done in such a weird way and to me there were a couple of other hints
00:18:09.420like if you just if you just describe it as woman washes and pampers rabbit and then quick cut to
00:18:16.160her cooking the rabbit meat that's one thing but when you the quick cut and then when she's cooking
00:18:21.000the rabbit meat she's cooking first of all way more rabbit meat than came out of that rabbit
00:18:25.560like there's a lot more meat there and then there's also her like when she puts the onions in
00:18:30.800she does like a hand flip with the with the pan and she throws it into the air and the camera
00:18:35.520follows it sailing off into a field so there's a bunch of like goofball shit going on in the video
00:18:40.340which is all like all surreal she's cooking it in a walk the size of like a car hood like a lot of
00:18:45.240it is it's just it's it's a weird video and there's actually a whole category like a genre i guess
00:18:50.280of chinese tiktok videos that are just like wacky surreal rural china life videos and i like some
00:18:58.440of the some of them are quite funny actually i feel like this is kind of in that vein and they
00:19:02.960my theory is based on the comedy of the way she's cooking it is they're tone deaf to western
00:19:09.880audiences and this is just their take on humor which kind of works for them and that's like
00:19:15.220look at this cute bunny oh no he's dead like i don't think they're actually trying to show
00:19:20.040look how well we take care of our animals if you get inside mainland chinese heads
00:19:23.940this is comedy this is like man in a dress in 1995 right this is look at this cute white bunny
00:19:29.880i washed his hair with my own shampoo oh look now he's bad stir fry like that that's that's kind of
00:19:35.680what i thought it was okay yeah yeah yeah because because some people were saying like oh it's
00:19:40.760actually a ritual because i was looking i'm like she put like leafy garland on it and this is
00:19:45.100me my western mind i'm like oh a mainland chinese maybe comedy this is like a pagan chinese thing
00:19:51.380no no no no no no well and i was saying in the thing like if you've been to like i challenge
00:19:56.600anybody even in north america go to a chinese seafood restaurant even just stick your head in
00:20:00.760to ask for the menu and look around while you're in there and also i want to get your opinion i
00:20:04.140want to get your opinion on that style of cooking because you had a good rant on this yes just about
00:20:09.220the animal the animal ethics thing because you go into a chinese restaurant ask for a menu and
00:20:14.160while you're waiting look around they will always have a fish tank within the restaurant because
00:20:18.040they want to prominently display their huge fish because it's like a it's like a prestige thing to
00:20:24.780have like a big grouper or something but invariably the water is filthy and half of the fish are dead
00:20:31.440or dying and diseased but they are huge and that's fine and they're always like that they will keep
00:20:37.180those half dead giant fish in there for years and the chinese people who are the only people who eat
00:20:41.640there they don't care to them the message is made you are a wealthy restaurant that has a thousand
00:20:47.720dollar fish in there that you're not eating now the fish itself is horribly diseased and begging
00:20:53.140for death but i don't care because i'm chinese all i care about is i'm eating at a prestigious place
00:20:58.180so this is how their culture works so they they don't care a one whit about about the health or
00:21:04.080like the being kind to animals it's not part of their culture so yeah do you want to talk about
00:21:09.640the food well and this was the whole thing because i was watching this video and i'm thinking i've
00:21:15.540seen this video side by side with a video of an attractive young chinese woman eating a live frog
00:21:23.680guts first right and with all the nice effects over i'm like so clearly this has something to
00:21:30.560do with animal well-being and again i'm not trying to make a case that i'm offended by it i'm just
00:21:36.720curious i'm like like what am i watching is is this the fact that we're laughing that
00:21:40.960that acute animal died it seems to be that's what it is and you know i remember this during covid
00:21:45.680because people people accurately correctly made the argument that a lot of the like right after
00:21:51.260covid came out and people were saying it was like a bat disease everybody thought it was from bats
00:21:55.600and so you started seeing all these tiktok videos of like chinese men and women in fancy dress in a
00:22:01.060fancy restaurant eating like a live bat like obviously that was also made for kicks so that
00:22:07.980was made as a sick joke and then this one with the bunny is kind of the opposite end of the spectrum
00:22:12.420but was also made as like an off-taste joke which but the it's a very funny joke because it's like
00:22:17.640oh they guys think you guys think we eat bats here's a video of us eating bats i'm like i
00:22:22.080right do you know what jokes are do you know what first of all no they don't they don't know what
00:22:28.580jokes are they there's no humor in chinese culture no real humor it's not it's not a funny culture
00:22:33.020um but the i guess the point i'm making here is the never mind whether the jokes are funny the
00:22:39.460video is real the woman did actually source a bat because you actually can buy bats at the live food
00:22:47.260market and she did actually eat it right it's it is a bit that's what i'm saying she did eat the
00:22:54.020fucking bat and the lady eating the live frogs or like hatching chicken eggs and stuffing the
00:22:59.100whole thing in its mouth as it squeals and then swallowing it it's not cg they did do that and
00:23:04.140they did it for a goofy bit on tiktok they different goofy but they guys think we eat frogs
00:23:08.940so i went popped on over to the frog restaurant that is popular in my town what okay i like do
00:23:16.960you know it's this seems confused yeah so the point is is they're exaggerating it and then the
00:23:23.120irony to me was that because it was clearly exaggerated there were a lot of people defending
00:23:27.280saying they don't really do this it's just a joke it's like okay but like the fact that okay if you
00:23:33.360wanted to eat dimes if you wanted to go make a bit where you eat a bat first of all you try to find
00:23:37.960a way where you didn't have to actually eat the bat second of all you'd have to get a fucking net
00:23:41.940and go catch a bat because you can't buy a bat at the foods you can't go to no frills and buy a live
00:23:48.500bat yeah i can't go to the marketplace and then there's two bat vendors because one of them is
00:23:54.460for consumption and the other is for rituals and you don't want to eat the ritual bat that's a fool's
00:24:00.820game yeah i mean it's a little bit cheaper but you're not going to like the amount of sinew
00:24:04.820you think you're going to save uh uh was it what's the money over there what do you use for money
00:24:11.520chinaman you might save what they they use other chinese people for money so you might save a
00:24:16.660couple of chinamen there but you're gonna be paying for it tomorrow with your chinaman which
00:24:22.000is you yeah that's a good bit a guy who stands next he goes for a transaction and has one chinese
00:24:33.220guy with him who's his brother and then just a bunch of mirrors to make it look like it's the
00:24:38.040same guy and that they're like oh yeah it's yes you have several
00:28:52.520I don't really give a shit about these comic book movies.
00:28:54.660and i don't like james gunn but when i saw the second one i thought this is a cool idea like
00:29:02.460it's just as a standalone sci-fi fantasy story i thought it hit all the right notes it's the
00:29:10.540characters were enjoyable like it's you know i'm not going to read the second one but i'm like this
00:29:14.120is a nice enough movie this is a i'd like to see something more like this out there and so i was
00:29:21.640looking forward to the third one um and i don't really like james gunn as i said james gunn the
00:29:28.440director you have to you have to say you have to you can't you can't like him yeah because well
00:29:34.160if you know his story like he started off uh at doing trauma movies and people don't know trauma
00:29:41.060uh if you're into weird schlocky macabre films these were you know gleeful b movies toxic avenger
00:29:49.280would be one and it's like a low budget superhero movie with cheesy special effects dumb script
00:29:57.580surreal on purpose and then there's a couple soft core porn scenes just in the middle there
00:30:03.920so that's where james gunn got his start and somehow he found himself doing this family
00:30:09.780blockbuster and he tempered down his motivations he tempt tamped down his inclinations i think for
00:30:18.500that but then he also does the suicide squad movies um i think at least the second one you
00:30:24.260had the second suicide squad movie he did the peacemaker show i didn't i didn't hate that by
00:30:29.920the way the second one it was actually it wasn't horrible it wasn't horrible it was it was confident
00:30:36.340in what it was trying to be but i guess what i was trying to say was i saw more of that side of
00:30:43.820him in this movie gardens yes for sure i saw like a not just more brutal not just darker not just
00:30:54.740more i guess cynical but it's like i think this was a psychopathic movie because i think james
00:31:02.740gunn is a psychopath i think if you look at the stories he when he's given free reign to tell
00:31:09.180stories because he has free right now and james gunn right now is in charge of dc he's in charge
00:31:14.980of all the dc universe um and he's like their main guy right um let's see how that goes but uh i i
00:31:24.260think if you give him the reins he is a bad person and there's a lot of that was in this movie that
00:31:31.980i think was like so bitter and cynical and almost spiteful and i don't think that not the stuff that
00:31:39.960you would think so okay before i keep going now what did you think of the movie i don't want to
00:31:44.360bury you i liked it i get maybe i'm desensitized i i understood a lot of the critique that you're
00:31:50.540making about like it is really a brutal movie and they were playing a lot of frightening
00:31:56.120atrocities for laughs but i guess it's 2023 i don't know i i i couldn't i couldn't not hate
00:32:05.700i couldn't not like it just based on i love chris pratt and it was funny it's actually a really
00:32:11.500funny movie so there's a lot of cheesy bullshit in it actually there were a lot of really really
00:32:15.240bad dialogue like really cheeseball dialogue but it was also really funny so i don't know if
00:32:19.840there's multiple people and doing that or what let me just say this i found it less funny than
00:32:24.320the other two i don't remember them i found it less funny the characters were less interesting
00:32:31.020chris pratt's character so for people who don't know it's a mess of a movie actually because
00:32:36.040again people don't care about marvel movies but the character of gamora the girl with green skin
00:32:42.000she died in like one of the other marvel movies and she wasn't supposed to so they had to they
00:32:46.740had to bring her back but it didn't really make sense so like the the romance subplot that was
00:32:51.980the heart of that movie isn't there anymore and then like chris pratt star lord he opens the movie
00:32:58.320as like an alcoholic and then they they forget that immediately that he's like that you think
00:33:04.280that would be like a plot point that he's like down yeah that was weird yeah um within about 10
00:33:09.460minutes that's like the entire intro is building up the fact that he's an absolute fall down drunk
00:33:14.700and then a gunshot is fired and he's back up and then it's then he doesn't really do much heroic
00:33:20.640stuff in it like and then there's not a lot of really good action scenes or they kick a lot of
00:33:26.400ads like it's strange like his character isn't as one there's only one action scene essentially
00:33:31.200like with like a fighting a choreographed fight scene there's only one in the whole film yeah
00:33:34.920the hallway near the end yeah and that was like so fake too like it almost didn't seem
00:33:40.880like it was like the worst part of a matrix movie it's like the second matrix movie where neo fights
00:33:46.240all the agent smiths it was the point that it was a gag like they were playing it as like oh
00:33:50.380here's your big fight scene as a gag and this is kind of what i was getting at with movies like
00:33:54.880this and maybe just before i forget it's that these movies are so meta that i don't i don't
00:34:02.260even call them movies anymore like for example there's a line of dialogue in this movie where
00:34:07.140they're in the elevator where it sounds like they are referencing the fact that gamora the
00:34:13.260woman i was talking about died in a previous movie and she's back now and it doesn't make sense like
00:34:18.260they were winking at the audience and james gunn the script writer was signaling to the audience
00:34:23.260that look i'm making fun of these marvel executives and i'm like the this is what i don't like about
00:34:30.740these movies or maybe i do like it and it's just a modern phenomenon where the corporate drama
00:34:37.420outside of the creation of the movies becomes central to the movies themselves and you see this
00:34:42.200in fast and furious like we talked about before where people the the audience and the fans of
00:34:48.520this franchise are aware that there's a feud between vin diesel and the rock and you need to
00:34:53.860be aware of that feud to appreciate his presence in the movie right like you the backstory to these
00:34:59.740movies are the board meetings concerning the movies like people the people who like these
00:35:05.600movies follow movie news and they follow like oh marvel just signed a deal so they could have
00:35:10.840deadpool in this now and so deadpool is in this week but you only care because you read two months
00:35:16.440full of stories about contract negotiations so the fact that deadpool shows up seems like a contract
00:35:22.520victory and you're emotionally invested in that anyway the point i'm saying was like like the
00:35:27.800the boring studio that occurs outside of a movie is part of the movie itself and that's so weird
00:35:34.520to me i don't know like and it's that's so normalized now you know so you need to know
00:35:40.360that james gunn the director this is his last movie and he's like giving the finger star wars
00:35:45.740is like this too where like they had to bring in fucking joss whedon to the third one and
00:35:50.440the joke was that the second movie fucked them up anyway i won't go down that road but it's like
00:35:55.100you need to know about studio drama to appreciate these movies or even understand the references
00:36:00.460that's one thing but then the other thing was like so it's a story of like rocket raccoon and
00:36:07.800shows how he was created and then there's a lot of animal torture and that's not even the stuff
00:36:12.540i'm talking about when i say it's dark and weird like what makes me think james gunn is a psychopath
00:36:20.480is that when he tries to do heartfelt or serious scenes he doesn't know how to do it and his idea
00:36:28.180of comedy is just cruel like there's a scene well that's that's what i was saying like this
00:36:32.720had this had a bunch of like semi not romantic but like it was dealing with relationship issues
00:36:38.020like between gamora and star lord and some other stuff all of the dialogue in those scenes or the
00:36:42.320part where like rocket's alive again and everyone's so happy that he's alive all of that dialogue is
00:36:47.520the most phoned in wooden bullshit you could imagine he doesn't know how human beings feel
00:36:52.500and there's this there's this fucking scene later on where drax and mantis and if people haven't
00:37:01.940seen these movies they're going to sound really fucking gay right now i get it but and then um
00:37:06.480nebula are there and then there's this scene where they're arguing it's like a dark scene and in two
00:37:12.160seconds they're going to find children in cages but there's this dialogue they're arguing while
00:37:16.940surrounded by small like naked starving children in cages it's like uh they're inside auschwitz
00:37:24.680if auschwitz was real and then there's a scene where mantis and who is friends with drax just
00:37:31.540admits that drax is an idiot and that's played for jokes and he looks very hurt by it he's like
00:37:36.060you think i'm stupid and she's like she looks at him like very seriously and says yes i think
00:37:41.200you're stupid and then wipes his memory of it and then he's stupid again i'm like this seems like a
00:37:46.780needlessly cruel scene that has nothing to do with anything there's no has nothing to do with the
00:37:51.280plot it was just a scene it does set up her leaving at the end of the film kind of like but
00:37:57.200not the part where she just like says he's a fucking idiot loser no one respects him that's
00:38:01.680what i'm saying like like and also later on they find out that drax's true worth is that he has to
00:38:08.420be a dad like he likes being a dad so i'm like okay like but you're also calling dad stupid like
00:38:13.140there's like subtext there where he we agree that he's an idiot but he's not supposed to be he's
00:38:19.120supposed to be like kind of boorish like a klingon but he's not supposed to be fucking retarded and
00:38:24.240they just made him retarded i'm like you did that on like i don't like that's strange where there's
00:38:28.900all these like emotional scenes where it's serious but it's played for laughs and then what's played
00:38:33.300for laughs someone has to die in agony or something and like this is a weird thing to do
00:38:39.360And that's kind of what makes me think like I wouldn't take kids to see this.
00:38:42.840And that's the other thing where if I'm not taking my family to see this, because you would have to be insane to watch this with like your young kids.
01:24:32.400a can of beans it was one big bean yeah it really makes you think it made me think and i said what
01:24:39.860could have you really said you say to yourself hmm i think back on my life and i wonder if i
01:24:45.420had to have decided differently if i had the years under my belt i could figure out how to grow that
01:24:50.500bean the big question is what could have been fuck fuck all right i want to get we got to get
01:25:01.240through this fucking tweet um uh also number four there's a ton of guys who are willing to take
01:25:07.660advantage of naive discontented housewives especially if it's for low commitment sex
01:25:13.020and to be fair so are many of these women that's what they're looking for they're searching for
01:25:17.380a feeling many of them know that the one night stand is is exactly what it is sorry exactly what
01:25:22.780it is um so i'm i'm gonna skip the rest of the tweet because there's that this dovetails right
01:25:31.360into another piece that i read that that kind of mentions what we're talking about i think you'll
01:25:38.340like it it's uh written by billionaire psycho billionaire psycho.substack.com um and this is
01:25:47.120a long piece but i'm only going to talk about the first little bit because i found this very
01:25:50.220interesting um it really stretches the point out if i'm being honest and uh and there's a lot of
01:25:56.300tweet screencaps i don't know what it is about substack race that act like all information comes
01:26:03.100from twitter but it's an interesting it's called uh pygmalion and the anime girl um and it starts
01:26:11.960by discussing this individual named josh holly josh holly who is a conservative speaker who was
01:26:18.820at Turning Point USA. And he gave a speech. And the speech was all about how young men need to
01:26:25.640turn off porn and go ask real women out on a date. Young men, let me make a suggestion to you.
01:26:33.960Why don't you turn off the computer and log off the porn and go ask a real woman on a date?
01:26:39.140How about that? Just a thought. Ask her out. Young men, why don't you be the ones who do the
01:26:47.060asking how about that don't wait for her you go ask show her a little respect
01:26:51.780and this is kind of what a lot of the men are saying like a lot of conservative men
01:26:56.960are taking on porn men gotta man up because we're not having big families not having kids
01:27:02.180the incel crisis all this shit men gotta get back to asking girls out on a date here's a
01:27:08.740bunch of photos of him and his wife and their two kids and he's got the the young conservative thing
01:27:15.640where i don't know what to call it other than yellowstone chic there's the show yellowstone
01:27:21.640where it's like you're a millionaire rancher you're wearing you know uh uh the tight jeans
01:27:28.000tucked in button-up shirt and a 45 000 puffer vest and a cowboy like that look it's just
01:27:35.900disingenuous upper upper class working class upper work i don't know what you call it like
01:27:42.680a guy who works who's on a farm you know two days of the year and just has i don't know droids
01:27:51.840working on it right yeah just be honest and wear a t-shirt like zuck come on and the first part of
01:27:56.800this article i liked is it's actually you know a lot of us would agree that porn is bad no one's
01:28:01.240going to disagree that porn is bad but porn is being used as a scapegoat to the actual problem
01:28:07.200And this article, this substack, takes the view that the problem is actually relationship dynamics and largely women.
01:28:16.520And this is something I hear from a lot of our listeners and a lot of friends of mine, especially younger guys who are unmarried, but are looking to be married.
01:28:24.460They're looking for love in all the places they're supposed to look for love.
01:28:28.700You know, these aren't guys like they're trying to get off Tinder.
01:28:35.920They don't know where to meet girls, or the girls they're meeting are of a certain caliber, you know, busted hoes, or, you know, they're just not interested, you know, and these are decent looking guys, or, you know, they would rather be on Tinder.
01:28:50.540Anyway, so this is the first part, porn as a scapegoat.
01:28:54.160He says, years ago, I heard a joke about politicians.
01:28:57.040When a politician finds a parade, he rushes to the front of the crowd and pretends he was always leading it.
01:29:02.200um it's a mistake to expect dynamic leadership from machiavellian social climbers men who
01:29:09.180calculate every outfit practice smiling in the mirror manicure their nails for television select
01:29:14.500their wives based on external social approval their lives are rehearsed fueled by covert intrigues
01:29:21.660masked by sanctimonious reality in this particular speech josh holly adopted the mannerism of
01:29:28.240mannerisms and aesthetic of a protestant protestant christian youth pastor in order to connect with
01:29:34.820the audience as a man of the people his customary suit um was banded in favor of a casual t-shirt
01:29:42.380the senator pretends to be spontaneous as he stands on stage but if you look at his thin
01:29:47.340scrawny arms it's obvious senator holly rarely lifts weights even a short three-month regimen
01:29:52.340would be enough to improve his physique there's a certain irony to this kind of performative
01:29:56.500masculinity where an effeminate legal scholar stands on stage and insults ordinary men as
01:30:02.300porn addicted losers it's typical of modern christian churches today preachers frequently
01:30:08.800ignore the scriptures and claim that women were made in the image of god let's skip this part
01:30:12.980women are praised men are scorned these dynamics are increasingly detached from reality in a world
01:30:21.580where tinder has replaced traditional courtship average women reject average men and no-fault
01:30:27.580divorce break breakup bankrupts families workplace romances have been de facto outlawed by sexual
01:30:33.800harassment laws enforced by the bitter envious old women of human resources um and then there's a few
01:30:40.160graphs here that show you know disproportionately the number one people couples meet or you know
01:30:46.960hookups happen is online every other traditional form going back to the 1940s has taken a nosedive
01:30:53.100um we see a graph here that shows a lot of people have talked about before that the experiences of
01:31:00.220men and women on tinder are very different more men match with women most women reject most men
01:31:07.020women tend to reject 95 of the men they're paired with men reject maybe 50 it's delusional to claim
01:31:16.700that women are catering to the whims of men
01:31:19.520when they reject 95% of their options at first glance.
01:31:25.040As I stated previously, this is the data for Tinder now.
01:31:29.220The average female likes 12% of men on Tinder.
01:31:31.620This doesn't mean, though, that most men will get liked back
01:31:34.600by 12% of all women they like on Tinder.
01:31:37.160This would only be the case if likes were equally distributed.
01:39:00.220And we've been doing that for a while. But like to say women and women in the workplace are allowed to wear whatever they want. Yeah, they are right now. But it's not like we've never had rules limiting women's clothing. We have had them for a long time. And prior to that, we had laws limiting whether women could even be in the workplace. So again, we have a long, long history of understanding perfectly how this is supposed to work.
01:39:24.800so jordan's saying oh well we just don't know how to negotiate a workplace with men and women
01:39:30.500no actually we do we actually have books written about it but you fucking people this is going
01:39:36.200back to the marjorie taylor green and lauren bobert you people aren't willing to accept the
01:39:40.440whole thing you want to have the one part the hallmark movie part but you don't want to have
01:39:45.160the other part that says you're not allowed to work in a legal office you're just not you're
01:39:49.800just not allowed right you know I was going to talk about this book but I think we might just
01:39:55.100stay on this topic because I think we can probably like play through this till the end of the episode
01:40:01.000sure and it wouldn't make sense I want to talk about Pygmalion too because he brought out he
01:40:05.420said Pygmalion in the anime girl is the name of the substack or the name of the article yeah
01:40:09.580okay so if we want to take a break there what is Pygmalion because this is a long article that goes
01:40:15.180pretty deep but i i didn't get to the end so what is pygmalion you're just very short so pygmalion
01:40:22.120was like a it's a greek mythological figure who thought that women were degenerate and he was
01:40:26.500also a sculptor so he sculpted a beautiful sculpture and he said this woman is perfect
01:40:30.640she's not a whore she doesn't back talk me she always helps me out and is a good mother
01:40:35.920and um which you would think would end in disaster right except he prays to aphrodite one night or
01:40:41.140like at a festival to say that he really wishes he could find a wife and aphrodite he turns the
01:40:45.740sculpture into a real woman and she's actually just the perfect wife and they have a kid and
01:40:48.760they live happily ever after so that's that's that's malian so uh which is like to me like
01:40:54.540tying that to the anime girl and like the mid-journey art and whatever it's like okay so
01:40:58.800you're saying if the if the comparison tracks uh incels should create perfect anime robot wives
01:41:08.080that are actually just like 18th century women
01:41:12.600and then live happily ever after, I guess.
01:59:45.180And if women get the sense that they are more credentialed than the men, that completely
01:59:50.000throws the hypergamous stuff out of whack.
01:59:53.480How do women behave if they have more status than men in society?
01:59:56.540Which is a question that many people are asking.
01:59:59.420I'm just going to read the conclusion.
02:00:00.460It's a very long article, but I'll just read the bullet points here.
02:00:05.020It says, educational hypergamy has gone into reverse.
02:00:09.400Now that women dominate education, they're actively seeking less educated men and vice versa.
02:00:15.860This seems to be because educational balances in favor of women have become normative.
02:00:21.400Education is now a proper feminine trait.
02:00:25.240In contrast, income hibergamy is still widespread,
02:00:28.900important and causing problems for non-compliers.
02:00:32.280So it's making the case that if a woman is more educated than a man,
02:00:38.480he needs to be making more money than her.
02:00:41.580However, if the man is more educated than her,
02:00:46.200and it goes into a lot of different graphs and studies here,
02:00:49.440it's okay if the woman thinks it's okay if she makes more money than him.
02:00:53.740And this is a bit of an interesting imbalance. Like the woman is looking for a different marker of status. So if she can't have education, she's okay with income, but the guy should at least be smarter than her. You know, that's what this article is about.
02:01:08.260um and what he's saying is in this relationship looks don't seem to matter i thought that was
02:01:15.580interesting that the studies that they do like you know when it comes to women seeking status
02:01:20.080the handsomeness of the guy is somewhat irrelevant and this might seem it's totally irrelevant that
02:01:27.720that that's what struck me reading this one because i read this a couple of weeks ago
02:01:31.380was that of all the things they tracked it's really interesting how all of the other ones relate
02:01:35.700but the whole thing about like aesthetic choices is like people kind of marry within their range
02:01:41.440like a six will marry a six ish but not really like it doesn't even really matter everything
02:01:46.420else dwarfs looks like looks almost don't matter at all it's like a rounding error yeah i'm just
02:01:54.800going to read the last two parts here women's rising share of education isn't directly damaging
02:02:00.160to the marriage market women's rising share of income might be with one study suggesting
02:02:05.280is responsible for the 23% decline in U.S. marriages.
02:32:14.160there were massive protests in canada of course as a lot of us will remember in the early part of
02:32:18.6802022 and the canadian state took some measures which set some quite alarming precedents um
02:32:26.980we probably got into a bit of an on the ground insight on some of that last time but i would
02:32:32.560have struggled to hear it because we would have been talking each other talking over each other
02:32:35.280with with the lag now we're another sort of seven months on from that now however um
02:32:41.480yeah a lot of precedent set a lot of disturbing things happened the scale of it was heartening
02:32:46.560but the way in which it was dealt with less so i mean particularly in light of what we saw this
02:32:49.560week we saw that the fundraiser for the french police officer unceremoniously shut down by the
02:32:54.300by the by the french state and we saw similar things in uh in canada but yeah i mean tell us
02:32:59.620what tell us whatever we need to know about that that we might not i suppose and just general
02:33:03.220observations on it and the kind of the before and after of it really well i think you touched on the
02:33:07.740most important part, which is that I think the only weapon that can be wielded against these
02:33:12.500people right now is financial in nature. So we talked about this, we talked about this on our
02:33:18.700show as it was occurring, and my opinion hasn't changed that much. So the Canadian trucker protest
02:33:25.060is a fascinating phenomenon. And one of the main reasons why it was allowed to happen was because
02:33:32.780that the canadian infrastructure and the canadian you know police state as we call it isn't that
02:33:38.940well developed it's nothing like america um and they've outright said this before aside from
02:33:44.740counterpart here to like the fbi and things like that you would say yeah yeah so like our version
02:33:49.720of the fbi would be csis and we talked about this on the show how csis for many decades has really
02:33:54.560been infiltrated by the chinese communist party that's a separate thing but that's one of the
02:33:59.420reasons why because canada is a member of the five eyes uh organization and i think canada in the
02:34:04.120five eyes is probably the blindest eye and i don't think it's taken that seriously but that again
02:34:09.140that's another thing entirely aside from that um the make no mistake the canadian state apparets
02:34:16.480would have loved to crush the trucker protest it just couldn't there were just not enough cops
02:34:21.260not of boots on the ground not enough money and that's what doesn't get brought up a whole lot
02:34:25.700with canada it's that there's not a lot of capital to support what it wants to do
02:34:31.420um i know over in the uk do you expect that to change in the wake of the precedent set with
02:34:35.980with that or are there any signs that it has um i i think that there's two things they're counting
02:34:42.060one is that they're trying to spook people at the financial thing and that's kind of what i was
02:34:45.280getting at which is the protest itself i i would say accomplished everything it's set out to do
02:34:50.220because it wasn't like a far-right nationalist protest it was kind of a mainstream conservative
02:34:54.580maybe libertarian style protest so it's not like they wanted a big crazy ask they didn't want to
02:35:00.620install like national socialism or anything um and so you know it accomplished everything it wanted
02:35:05.500to do but i do think that in the light of the state's inability to start rounding up people
02:35:11.960the weapon they have at their disposal is financial in nature and i think the fight and this is
02:35:17.400something that you see in america as well this is something you're going to see everywhere
02:35:20.060um and antifa know this as well but getting people arrested is one thing getting them
02:35:24.980debanked as they call it um is something else entirely and another good guy to talk to about
02:35:31.200this if people want to know a bit more is there's a guy i interviewed on my show called jeremy
02:35:35.900mckenzie also goes by the raging dissident he's a guy he's been face docs he's famous you can find
02:35:41.920articles written about him he's a guy who a veteran uh served in the military and he his
02:35:48.380girlfriend got debanked just recently um he his pension his military pension was being threatened
02:35:54.460because of his outspoken views and this isn't like a nazi guy this isn't someone who's bad optics
02:36:00.660is he a canadian this guy yes right so he's just kind of you know on the right not not far far
02:36:09.020right so it's not like he's doing anything crazy and yet still got he lost his pension or he's
02:36:14.960get he's trying to get it sued to get it back so you know they can let him you know they can hassle
02:36:21.120you and really the way the banks work in canada are very interesting and they might be like how
02:36:28.120they work in the uk um they're a lot more nationalized so the big banks there's like
02:36:32.940four or five big ones it's not a lot in canada they really work hand in glove with the government
02:36:39.260They're highly, highly nationalized. So this idea that you can just be debanked and then you could roll out that sort of libertarian arguments like, well, they're a private company. They should be able to do whatever they want. It doesn't work like that. But the danger is that by attacking people financially, you don't seem to rile up a lot of defenders.
02:36:59.980so for example the conservatives probably won't come to you because they will say what i just
02:37:05.020said that oh it's they're a bank you know a bank can just choose not to do something so you've lost
02:37:10.080a lot of the conservatives in the right there the libs aren't going to defend you you don't have
02:37:14.160that automatic you know fervor that rises up to defend you and i think they've they've seen that's
02:37:19.360an effective way to threaten people because if you don't have a bank frankly just if people don't
02:37:24.220know i know everyone knows this but if you don't have a bank you're kind of fucked you know like
02:37:28.360if you don't have a bank you can't really log in to the your government internet account because
02:37:34.360you know everything is done through internet here and they're partnering with banks if you don't
02:37:37.880have that you're less of a citizen in a way so a lot of people it's it's just complicated enough
02:37:44.840that it doesn't have that narrative power that someone being arrested has i think that's why
02:37:49.420yeah yeah it's there are a lot of interesting things i mean first of all nigel farage as of
02:37:54.900the last week or so is claiming here that he's been debanked after 40 odd years with the same
02:38:00.080bank and um more tellingly if this is legitimate what he's saying because i know big sam media
02:38:05.960from patriarchal turn have expressed his doubts as to whether or not it's entirely the case but
02:38:09.700he claims as of what i last saw to have been rejected by another eight or nine banks which
02:38:15.500again suggests if that's true and i could well believe it suggests central coordination i mean
02:38:19.860the woodlander of course is kind of counter signaling saying banks are so overrated on the
02:38:23.740other hand he wanted to get a dominoes last bit last week was lamenting the fact that they won't
02:38:27.220take cash so he can't um if i've got that if i've recalled that correctly but yeah the farage has
02:38:33.760been pointed out i mean it's interesting what you say as well about the debunking as an effective
02:38:37.340strategy because yeah there's a certain amount of deniability when it comes to it as a the idea
02:38:42.260of it is a kind of a tyrannical measure um i mean i i mean one thing we'll perhaps get on to as well
02:38:46.840is um laws governing speech in canada because i don't know a lot about it there and we'll get
02:38:51.760on to that but kind of as a prelude to that um you you may well be aware that i think in the past
02:38:57.500it's in it's over a period of like less than seven weeks it was in this it was in the space of about
02:39:02.200five in total we saw like uh like three nationalist dissidents that i can think of off the top of my
02:39:08.380head alone um either convicted and sentenced or convicted and then remaining in custody until they
02:39:14.960get sentenced in this country like between sort of mid-may and and the end of last month because
02:39:19.760you had james allchurch aka sven longshucks ashley podsiad sharp formerly of the tassel
02:39:24.500podcast that i was on likewise christopher kearney aka charlie big potatoes also formerly the tassel
02:39:29.280podcast and when when christopher kearney was sentenced i mean one of the things one of the
02:39:33.360points i made was uh um what's so frustrating about the way and it's testament to their success
02:39:42.780in a certain regard one of the things that's so exasperating about the nature of the tyranny
02:39:47.560under which we live is um the average person just can't really comprehend it like the point
02:39:55.240that i made was what's so infuriating and exasperating is and again it's testament to
02:39:59.400how well the regime manages those under its yoke through various means almost none of the wider
02:40:03.600public realize just how evil and illegitimate it is because it doesn't feel their collar
02:40:07.000now they do suffer the effects of its agendas but because neither they nor anybody they know
02:40:12.400is getting directly oppressed by it in terms of being thrown in jail having a bank account take
02:40:16.080away. They don't really have any comprehension of how tyrannical and malevolent and illegitimate
02:40:20.900it is. They can just go on thinking that it's just incompetent in letting all these millions
02:40:23.960of people in a year and whatever else. So it's hard to make people understand. No, it is a regime
02:40:27.820you live under. They just go easy on you so as not to radicalize you more. But when people genuinely
02:40:32.340stick their head above the parapet, yeah, they get their door smashed in. They get their bank
02:40:36.340accounts taken from them. They get put in jail under the most ridiculous pretext and there you
02:40:40.300are. So it's interesting what you say regarding debanking, particularly where, as and where it
02:40:44.660applies in um in a country where as you're saying basically the security state is not as well funded
02:40:49.760it's not you know it's not as effective that five eyes just to clarify for anybody that's basically
02:40:53.700the security services of the anglosphere countries you know basically you know britain america canada
02:40:58.880australia and new zealand that's basically it yeah yeah you raised a couple of very very good
02:41:02.740points there and something i i just want to echo what woodlander had said which is who gives a
02:41:07.460shit about banks i agree and actually my co-host judas he is adamant he's an anti-bank guy um and
02:41:14.360one thing about canada that's very interesting i work in marketing i don't know if there's a
02:41:18.920lot of people are going to sign off because of that but i work in marketing one thing about
02:41:23.480one thing about canada is it's very slow to adapt to technology um and that's like japan tends to
02:41:29.960be the one that really jumps in feet first or whatever it is uh like canada was really really
02:41:34.840slow to adapt you know the phenomena of paying with your phone you know we were like a cash
02:41:39.960society for way, way longer than a lot of other countries. So we're not there yet. The way I see
02:41:46.100things going, you're going to eventually, everything's going to be cars. They're trying
02:41:50.600to usher out cash as a form of legal tender. And it might not happen right now. I don't know how
02:41:57.160to fight that. I'd be open to a conversation, a larger conversation about how to cling to cash,
02:42:04.120or maybe it's crypto, I don't know, to fight against that. Because I think it's a
02:42:09.820problem that's not on a lot of people's radar now you had raised another good point there
02:42:14.560which is getting people to sort of stand up and notice things and this is something we talked
02:42:18.900about in our last episode we were discussing this book called um american diplomacy by george
02:42:25.000kennan and oh yeah i studied quite a bit of george kennan as a history student actually oh great and
02:42:30.740so and we're leading that into another uh talk next episode we do like a one book per episode
02:42:35.900uh the next one was a big one but uh power among nations by hans morgenthal and one thing he gets
02:42:42.280in that book is the power of the status quo and that's what's on my head it's hans morgenthal
02:42:48.300any relation to henry morgenthal of the morgenthal plan which is basically just to de-industrialize
02:42:52.200and starve germany after the second world war i wondered that i didn't look it up but that's
02:42:56.240where i knew morgenthal from but it might they might be related and they're both geopolitical
02:43:01.700related right but um the power of the status quo um and that is what i think we're dealing with
02:43:07.380here because one thing we talked about on the show is boomers and we don't like to engage in
02:43:12.700this intergenerational war that a lot of people on the right end where it's like fuck boomers
02:43:16.760can't wait till boomers die i don't like that it seems counterproductive but there is truth to say
02:43:22.680that when boomers pass on i don't think people have really thought about how radically everything's
02:43:31.060going to change because the boomers generationally are holding up a lot of institutions or they're
02:43:36.340they're the ones who are defending a lot of certain things like for example and this is
02:43:41.120kind of to um um woodlander's point that right now most people want a bank account because they
02:43:48.240want to be part of the financial system like the boomers because what do the boomers have they've
02:43:51.620got capital they've got land they've got a pension fund they've got all kinds of things woven in that
02:43:58.040system and you have two to three, I'd say two millennials and zoomers and gen alpha who are
02:44:04.480already kind of acclimated to the idea that they're not going to have that they're acclimated to the
02:44:08.380idea that by the time they're 70 social security, as we know, it probably won't exist. It just
02:44:14.540doesn't make financial sense, but that's way off, but it's coming. So you might have a couple
02:44:19.660of generations that are already psychologically decoupled from that status quo of that financial
02:44:25.460system. So I don't have the answer, but I am interested in young people who want to have a
02:44:30.900conversation of what does your future planning look like if it's completely decoupled from the
02:44:35.820system? Because I think this generation, these like Gen Z, Gen Alpha, and millennials could
02:44:41.020probably make a go at it. Whereas boomers and Gen X couldn't even think about not having three bank
02:44:49.580accounts and two pension funds and just living in that ecosystem. But they're also the ones holding
02:44:55.960up the status quo. And that's the other thing I was getting at, which, and I think what's
02:44:59.720interesting is looking at the difference in generations that I think with millennials and,
02:45:05.420you know, going off from there, there's more and more people who are not as invested in the status
02:45:11.260quo, meaning, you know, everything that, you know, I think academic age might call this the boomer
02:45:17.160truth regime i don't use that terminology but there's a kernel of truth in there that a lot
02:45:21.920of the historical narratives might disintegrate once the boomers kind of shuffle off this mortal
02:45:28.240coil and i like imagining preparing for that in a sense there's a whole wider discussion that we
02:45:35.460probably haven't got time for it tonight but a whole wider discussion that could be had about
02:45:38.400the what the implications of that would be both good and bad um maybe that's one for another time
02:45:43.700let's get into it and these are big big discussions that's like the whole demographics is destiny
02:45:48.860discussion that's a big fucking discussion and that's the ramifications of that are 50 60 years
02:45:54.880off but it's like it's almost so big it's a mountain in the like in dune when uh paul says
02:46:01.220when he can see the future he can see the mountain in the distance but he can't see the details and
02:46:05.380how you get there like i think we all see the mountain but we almost don't want to look at it
02:46:09.460Because I don't I don't know what you do about that. That's scary for an individual to contemplate.
02:46:17.100It is. I mean, it's funny, actually, I'm in one or two groups where there's a certain amount of lighthearted kind of individual basis boomer hate, you know, among people in trades, you know, people who've got like massive houses going, oh, I'm a poor pension.
02:46:31.700Yeah, you've paid off the mortgage on your house that's worth over a million pounds, you know, landscapers and, you know, lads in the trades, you know, and they're out grafting all hours.
02:46:39.200they've got you know if they have a day off work you know no they don't get any sick pay and
02:46:42.640whatever else and uh you know there's a lot of kind of content for our relatively easy boomers
02:46:48.320had it but the thing the point i always make is i mean ultimately first of all a lot of the things
02:46:53.540that people have you know people say well oh look at you know look at heart seller in america look
02:46:57.340at the race relations act in britain i'm sure there were counterpart things at some point down
02:47:00.500the line in canada like you know some boomers were of age when this was happening well a lot
02:47:04.360of them weren't first of all and secondly even if they were like they had a fucking clue what
02:47:07.340it was all for because people haven't got a clue now like realistically yeah like i understand the
02:47:12.400lamentation of the boomer mentality and everything because they did have it easier in certain ways
02:47:15.980cradle to grave and all the rest of it and they did have more they had a higher trust society and
02:47:20.420more security in a lot of ways i don't want to get into all of it now but um who's who are worse
02:47:25.480like them or the average liberal millennial the average liberal millennial has got much more
02:47:29.480egregious views there is a bit more polarization in millennials and younger than the perhaps is in
02:47:33.160boomers and we're you know an example of that polarization but yeah it's also just the fact
02:47:39.180that by and large it's it's kind of like blaming the normies for everything it's like well really
02:47:43.600as exasperating as they are when you see their indifference to a lot of things and how easily
02:47:47.720misdirected they are yeah that nevertheless isn't the problem it's not the normie that is the problem
02:47:52.240that the problem is basically hostile outsiders and the the success they've had with subversion
02:47:56.100over the centuries to the degree that they control you know that they literally control
02:47:59.980people's minds through control of you know academia media and therefore all the kind of
02:48:03.620narratives and yeah like a whole truth regime that's the real problem you know that's why it's
02:48:07.680so hard that's what you know sometimes i mean i've used the expression with the same people i was
02:48:11.260talking about just of like um normie face when you get normie face from people when you just
02:48:16.320ask a question from outside the overton window and they just glaze over like they're kind of
02:48:21.460just shocked by like you said okay so the thing the thing with immigration is we're told we need
02:48:25.300it but what do these people do we can't do ourselves that we can't survive or thrive without
02:48:28.220and then they're kind of like nothing you're like yeah right so start thinking and acting
02:48:33.300accordingly and looking at it in that way but like you get this phenomenon like it's particularly
02:48:38.020prevalent in boomers where like i know people that have talked about it where they said well
02:48:40.780look i could be in a much better position than i am were it not for the fact that like
02:48:43.660my boomer parents attitude to retiring or paying off the mortgage was like let's spend a shitload
02:48:48.900of money on going on a cruise or let's have a fucking fishing pond put in the garden for like
02:48:52.82040 grand or something exactly let me just say yeah you catch me on the wrong day and it's total
02:48:57.600boomer death this is like yeah we're all like that with normies as well yeah yeah yeah like and so
02:49:02.840i'm not immune to that sort like i can go on for 20 hours about yeah things that i think boomers
02:49:08.700are doing wrong and refuse to fix currently yeah on the other hand you know you raise a good point
02:49:14.120i think woodlander had made a comment in the in the comments here i'm not just trying to focus
02:49:18.260on him but you know he's talking about decoupling from the system and i think that's what makes me
02:49:22.140so interested in millennials and zoomers because i think generationally they have internalized
02:49:28.380there is no political solution because that's an easy thing to say it's an easy thing to say
02:49:32.700there's no political solution but then still get excited about uh this politician or that
02:49:37.660political party if you genuinely believe there's no political position you check out of that
02:49:42.660discussion entirely then you say okay what now what do we do and that's why these generations
02:49:48.280I find more interesting conversations about starting communities off grid, about how do we centralize our power?
02:49:54.660How do we get our own financial networks going?
02:50:01.360That's why I think it's a historically unique period.
02:50:05.140And one thing I always ask, and I don't have the answer for this yet, but I'm always wondering, you know, with the boomer thing, I'm like, what resources can we, to lack of a better phrase, extract from them?
02:50:17.120Because I remember I was reading a story just the other day that boomers as a generation represent 75 trillion dollars of wealth in America.
02:50:28.880And that's spread across, you know, assets and everything.
02:50:31.920But I'm like, you know, there's got to be something there to pass down.
02:50:36.200There's got to be something there for our guys who've got legitimate businesses, who have legitimate projects that are ready to go prime time.
02:50:43.980and i i'm not trying to like blame any particular person but i know there are people on the right
02:50:48.280who don't even want to talk to boomers they're a lost cause fuck them i'm like no no no i mean
02:50:53.240there's there's good boomers and they might have something to pass down that we could actually use
02:50:58.300to centralize our our power outside of this system and what's interesting about canada
02:51:02.880is that the lack of infrastructure and the lack of what you might call a police state like you
02:51:10.200might see in america means that there's more opportunities for driven groups to accomplish
02:51:16.620that in my opinion there's more opportunities for people to take over a small town to buy land and
02:51:23.300you know to go to a place where people can't see you not to do anything nefarious of course but
02:51:28.060just to accomplish your goals because the all-seeing eye is still kind of blind here
02:51:32.980take advantage of that stupidity in a sense well that may lead us on actually to the next
03:02:45.080kind of the of the five eyes the canadian one is perhaps the blindest and the absence of a kind of
03:02:50.520quite such a well-developed and quite such an oppressive security state i was curious again
03:02:56.360particularly in light of what i was talking about with you know three people that i kind of knew to
03:03:00.340one degree or other going to jail in this country within the past sort of six or seven weeks what
03:03:05.320the laws are like in canada what the laws i mean i do remember because i you get it one thing that
03:03:10.320there is a lot of in canada i don't know whether it's there as much now but you had a lot of
03:03:13.520countered you had an alt-light type stuff like there was the toronto sun you had michael coran
03:03:18.760and tarek fatah that i used to see when i was in the counter counter to how many of you obviously
03:03:22.460had ezra levant and the rebel lauren southern x y and z there were some things that were being
03:03:27.860pushed through that related to like protection for criticism of religion and stuff but i was
03:03:33.420curious as to what the laws are like and also as significantly if not more how punitively they are
03:03:41.660utilized and applied um because it's it's fucking terrible in this country and getting worse all
03:03:47.360the time but yeah yeah that's a good question so first of all um to your point yeah there was a
03:03:52.620moment i think we called that the alt light and canadian content creators always had a pretty
03:03:58.640prominent position in that movement so you also had your gavin mcginnis's yes um and there's a
03:04:04.080few others i think there's still guys like stephen crowder that still kind of do that he's canadian
03:04:07.680as well as far as i know yeah um that kind of died faith goldie was probably she's not around
03:04:13.280anymore yes of the crop i would say i liked her the most i tried to reach out to her yeah she
03:04:18.560was the edgiest because didn't she get like she got kicked off the rebel because she spoke to
03:04:22.140andrew anglin after charlottesville or something like that oh yeah she went on um the on the daily
03:04:26.500show right after that and uh she was a bit more in that scene and she got in trouble because you
03:04:32.240know a lot of the you know i'm telling people stuff they probably already know a lot of the
03:04:35.920anti-islam stuff came from a zionist perspective i mean we don't need to go too too much in that
03:04:41.820if you want to avoid that but i think people are kind of aware like ezra levant um would have a
03:04:48.180horse in that race especially if like from what i've heard ezra levant you want to join rebel
03:04:53.720news we'll get ready for a trip to israel to film a bunch of shit there it's like okay yeah you know
03:04:59.140and then gavin mcguinnis famously just went along with that and still does to this day
03:05:02.640and i don't think faith goldie was as big into that but we'll see um so that was an era they're
03:05:09.520still around um if i had to think of an outlet that i'd like it would be true north news i would
03:05:15.340say they're in that more mainstream adjacent sphere but they're more friendly to our type of
03:05:20.520stuff um so the laws this is an interesting discussion so the anti-islam stuff isn't really
03:05:28.660there anymore even in our scene it's not there if anything the distant right writ large is kind
03:05:33.660of pivoted on that and really really is looking at islam as like an option now i've seen a lot of
03:05:39.540that recently i don't subscribe to that but that was sort of a pivot that happened in the past few
03:05:43.840years um that's not me obviously um but the laws canadian law is interesting so canadian law is
03:05:51.640built largely off of british law british common law i wonder whether that would be a yeah a feature
03:05:57.880of it but yeah it is um and so this this changed around the between the 60s and the 80s as well
03:06:05.240as canada was starting to develop its own stuff canada it's you know what we call the canadian
03:06:10.220constitution is not that old it's only a few decades old um but uh so the canadian law we
03:06:16.540covered this on the show there's a clip we did uh covering the canadian constitution and what's
03:06:20.960called the canadian charter of rights and freedoms which is mostly what we're going to be talking
03:06:26.720about right now i'm not gonna go too too deep into it but i'll give you a bird's eye view um
03:06:31.180so what's interesting about the canadian chart of rights and freedoms is it's very very long
03:06:35.840which actually is not what you really want in a legal document like that because there's all
03:06:41.640kinds of asterisks and fine print and caveats in there what you would like is something like
03:06:47.780the american bill of rights or the american constitution which is sometimes americans get
03:06:53.160criticized for that but that is what you want you want something that's clear and direct and i think
03:06:58.720a lot of canadians not all obviously not a lot of our genius fans but a lot of canadians due to our
03:07:06.940proximity to america probably think we share the same laws and we don't um mainly if you read the
03:07:13.800canadian charter of rights and freedoms it's a there's two words or two terminologies that
03:07:19.080you're going to come across one is the word reasonable and two is the word spirit so
03:07:26.800almost everything you can think of every rule that protects free speech for example
03:07:32.440is caveated by saying within reason within reasonable limits within the spirit of the law
03:07:39.140and i don't need to autocomplete this for people they know you know what is reasonable changes
03:07:44.060year over year, month by month. So this would make sense to the Anglo mind, the Anglo mind of,
03:07:51.720well, we all know what's reasonable a hundred years ago, but once you introduce new demographics,
03:07:56.480once you introduce new populations, there is no reasonable. And what that does, the way the law
03:08:02.380is structured is that gives a lot of leeway up to the particular judge in that moment, which is not
03:08:09.200what you want. In one sense, you don't want that. In one sense, that's how some people have been
03:08:15.220able to skate by so far, the fact that we just have an overburdened system. There's not enough
03:08:20.760judges. But if we get there, it could be just left up to a judge. So if, for example, our hate speech
03:08:27.400laws are pretty much the same as yours. We're not supposed to say anything that, you know, we have
03:08:33.260free speech within reason. And what is that within reason? Well, it says the Charter of Rights and
03:08:37.120freedoms, as long as it doesn't infringe on the safety or well-being or essentially the feelings
03:08:43.280of anyone else. And this is all fluid. This is all up to. So if someone wanted to emerge and
03:08:50.580prosecute me, raise an issue, there's no doubt in my mind it could be carried to the end and I could
03:08:56.760be imprisoned. The question is, are those people going to emerge and is the judge going to do it?
03:09:02.740You know, that all that all shakes out later. But if there was a concentrated force that wanted to get me arrested for most of the stuff I've said on the show, they probably could.
03:09:12.600And in our show, we attempt to we don't go crazy with things. You know, we try not even with our jokes, we try and catch an extreme, extreme irony or whatnot.
03:09:22.620But, you know, it doesn't take a lot to make a claim that you have threatened someone's well-being with your words, because you can also make the claim that, oh, words are violence, like the same stuff we've seen time and time again.
03:09:35.440And there's no real protections for people. So it's limited only, once again, by Canada's limited infrastructure, in my opinion.
03:09:43.720But we also have what are called human rights tribunals, which are interesting. They are courts that exist kind of parallel to the main court system. So a human rights tribunal, and I've gotten into arguments with people before, especially libs who want to come at me and say, they're not anything. I'm like, okay, so a human rights tribunal is like anyone can make a complaint about you for anything.
03:10:06.480It's this sort of extrajudicial group made of just people, and then they will try the case, right?
03:10:13.420And then they might assign you a fine.
03:10:15.520And there's been a couple of comedians in Canadian history who they've said a joke and went to a human rights tribunal because someone complained, and they got to pay $10,000, right?
03:10:33.280so it's an extrajudicial court that functions in any event as if it were a court so if i can
03:10:40.180clarify then so so the the human rights tribunal then it's it's sentenced you know if you're kind
03:10:44.820of well convicted is possibly not the correct terminology but it it doesn't amount to a
03:10:49.600criminal record yeah you don't need to even uh make a complaint that anything was against the
03:10:54.140law so a court yeah judge whether or not this is against the law and there's even terminology to
03:10:58.280make that icky but icky who the fuck am i anyway uh the human rights tribunal like it could be any
03:11:04.140fucking complaint it's like small claims court it's just like a bunch of people if someone says
03:11:08.960they made me feel uncomfortable because of a joke they can just decide that you owe that person
03:11:14.800money irrespective of any law and then what my point was well it still functions as if it's a
03:11:21.120regular court because if you choose not to pay what happens well eventually it ends with you
03:11:24.700getting arrested right the debt doesn't go away right so it's a special court they made to just
03:11:30.700to try their bullshit now again this is limited in my opinion by the fact that antifa isn't as
03:11:40.640active here it might be but it's you know we have like hope not hate and a couple other things i
03:11:45.540think but it's not not as much as america this is just my from where i'm standing because i live in
03:11:51.940ontario which would be the hub of these motherfuckers and i don't see a whole lot here
03:11:59.140not compared to what you might have over there so again it might just be i'm skirting by because
03:12:06.160it's you know we're not big enough yet frankly but you know i've prepared you know me and my
03:12:12.140wife have talked about this where you know you sit down and have a very serious conversation
03:12:15.900a serious conversation that I bet everyone in our sphere does which is like look I'm not going to be
03:12:22.640egregious I'm not going to just flippantly put my especially I've got a wife I got a kid you know
03:12:28.380we start asking different questions when you have these responsibilities but I'm also in a position
03:12:33.560where this is what I believe to be the truth this is what I believe to be important I am not going
03:12:38.800to sacrifice that my wife isn't either my wife aligns with me on all of my views but we've
03:12:44.920prepared like what happens when that knock on the door comes what are we prepared to do and you can
03:12:48.980only prepare so much obviously but you know it's you always feel like you're waiting for the other
03:12:54.500shoe to drop i frankly i could go another 15 years or it could be fucking tomorrow you don't really
03:13:01.120know and you know i've i've internalized the the creativity of the legal system to persecute you
03:13:10.980if it decides that you're a target so and i would apply this to the uk i would apply it to america
03:13:15.900too that if they want you they will get you the law doesn't really fucking matter and we've seen
03:13:22.340that we've seen that big big cases where you know they just made it clear that they're making an
03:13:27.560example out of you so show me the man i'll show you the crime yeah so you know what what is your
03:13:32.800capacity to be made an example of that's a other type of conversation but you know it's it kind of
03:13:40.100Like I said, internalize the reality of it. It's like, well, you know, it's probably going to happen. But like we're always saying, we want to impart enough wisdom and help centralize the power where they can't take as many things from you.
03:13:55.380And this will sound pretty morbid. But one thing that occurred to me just last week is, you know, I'm somewhat blessed that so many of my grandparents are no longer with us and my everyone else in my family is retired because it feels like that's one less thing that could be leveraged against me.
03:14:13.500And that's not like they can go out for my mom's job.
03:14:15.940My mom's fucking retired and she's drinking piña coladas and they can't take her piña coladas.
03:14:21.860I've tried, but, but you know what I mean?
03:14:25.640Like there's, there is a little bit of freedom there, but then there's the extra responsibility of like your kids and what, what's the myriad.
03:14:32.700But also the reason you're doing this is because, well, I'm living in a reality where I don't want my kid trans and taken from me.
03:14:39.600So you have, it feels like it's beyond your control.
03:14:43.200it's a duty right that's a bit of a rambling answer i hope that was what you're looking for
03:14:47.600i mean i mean to condense it like basically the law sounds like it's i mean you've even got like
03:14:53.800something like a counterpart maybe even worse actually to the phenomenon we have over here
03:14:57.800which you don't know a lot about but it's just a sinister concept the non-crime hate incident
03:15:01.140you know you've got these human rights tribunals now it's it sounds really as though and we'll see
03:15:07.280how long this lasts i suppose particularly in light of the the the shock that the canadian
03:15:12.440regime would have got last last beginning of last year with uh you know the trucker protests
03:15:17.420and that but it sounds like the laws are kind of largely just as pernicious and just as weighted
03:15:22.400in favor of power um rather than any kind of principle but there's maybe just not quite the
03:15:29.160same impetus or infrastructure there to just go after people and smash their doors in over things
03:15:32.880on twitter yeah as there is in because it's very very bad here i mean it's fucking incredible
03:15:37.800that's why the financial stuff is is a bit more nefarious like that's something that they
03:15:42.540can do and also just i'm sure there's a lot of people like myself who've been in this milieu
03:15:49.820for a long time and they feel like you can't run anymore there's that bit of wisdom on our side
03:15:57.240that you know you can't be left alone they will come for you they will not leave you alone by
03:16:01.740they we mean the system we mean whoever yeah so there is this sense that like you know the law
03:16:07.300will fold itself into insane shapes to come for you so it's like oh yeah i can sidestep this law
03:16:13.900sidestep that law but the law will form to fit a hole for me in it eventually on a long enough
03:16:21.140timeline if nothing else happens it will come for you and i think that's where a lot of people on
03:16:25.700our side are thinking like i i'm tired of thinking ways to dodge the law because it's only a matter
03:16:31.720of time until it it crafts itself in a way to take care of us it's going to be something we say
03:16:36.680like all the people who try to be cute with their language or they try and spell a slur with a
03:16:42.280certain way it's like they'll just add the new one to the list there's no way to outpace them
03:16:46.480you need to figure out a way to confront it or exist in such a way where it can't take things
03:16:52.980from you as easily that's a very vague thing to say but i think you know i'm getting at
03:16:56.280yeah no no no that makes perfect sense i think intuitively to to us all we're all kind of on
03:17:02.200on the same page on that um pleading holograms pops again with another five dollars he's gone
03:17:06.740mad tonight and he said fuck it just toss into the fiver in there for shits and giggles well
03:17:09.840by all means do mate by all means do um no chances that they have the same here in the uk but it's
03:17:16.160state guidance for teachers they are looking to criminalize it under the new conversion therapy
03:17:20.020ban scotland are going first then the rest of the uk yeah they seem to have carte blanche to uh
03:17:25.780to lead the way in scotland just because you know there's there's such fervor among like the
03:17:30.420smp contingent and that that like yeah let's let's let's be the most let's be the most fanatical and
03:17:36.540ridiculous just to spite the english uh you know to spite those kind of reactionary english fascist
03:17:40.620nazi tories um and that is yeah that's pretty much how kind of smp supporters seem to seem to
03:17:47.560think of it um one of the more and this kind of goes along with some of the things we've said
03:17:54.080tonight and it takes me back to an old episode of yours i listened to in advance of your first
03:17:58.420appearance last december uh one of the one of the more kind of i suppose it probably attention
03:18:05.460grabbing little bullet points i've got on our list was ted kaczynski was wrong discuss and then
03:18:10.640i've added a note to it try pitching this stuff to women because i remember you and judas talking
03:18:14.660about this when you had it on and it was kind of the idea of uh keith woods did a good video
03:18:18.400recently in the wake of the passing of ted kaczynski saying well look you know ted kaczynski was right
03:18:23.220about this he was right about leftists he was right about surrogate activity but in a lot of
03:18:27.420other things like i don't think he was and even where he had a point you can't really go back
03:18:31.800um and i think yeah it's it's recognized with people like kaczynski i think it's recognized
03:18:38.460i'm not i can't really say i've read his manifesto but it's recognizing yeah he diagnosed some things
03:18:42.860accurately but how many how many of the solutions are valid because one thing as i say the thing
03:18:46.720that made me laugh was like uh it's all and good for us to get ensconced in this idea but like
03:18:51.320yeah try pitching try pitching like a trad lifestyle to women yeah it's interesting you
03:18:57.100bring up ted kaczynski and i don't think it's funny sorry before we go on as well it's funny
03:19:00.200because simon the woodlander has just left us but he kind of he had a pragmatic approach to this as
03:19:04.140well like yeah i want to live in the woods but i've got a wife and they like you know women like
03:19:06.840things like washing machines and stuff but anyway as i say yeah the floor is yours sorry no no that
03:19:12.100good point and ted kaczynski i don't think i would really disagree with anything keith had said either
03:19:16.640that would probably be my take on it because i did read um his manifesto being covered on the
03:19:22.380show i just read it a long time ago i didn't get to his most recent book which everyone says you
03:19:27.400should read i think it's called technological slavery it's i think he develops those points
03:19:32.120a lot better so um i might be missing uh big chunks of his thesis um i you know he's interesting
03:19:40.160character we actually reviewed the movie they made about him called ted k which is interesting
03:23:50.280Just be like, you know, cutting about with the
03:23:52.320fucking squirrels and that and it's like yeah true enough actually that's right this is why i say if
03:23:56.280a lot of guys out there this is just a little aside a lot of guys looking for a type of girl
03:24:00.360to get with um if you're a young guy especially go after hippie girls i'm all about saying go
03:24:06.800yeah um but aside from that it's very there's guys have a certain way of thinking at least
03:24:13.660like white guys men of our you know our scene you know i always joke yeah i i joke like the
03:24:20.200the white guys want two things they want to own a boat and it actually doesn't matter what type
03:24:26.920of boat and they want to retire into a lighthouse we like solitude we like being alone we want to
03:24:32.800live in the woods and go insane that sounds cool making me think of that clip of the uh the so-called
03:24:37.380trans man lamenting how lonely it is as a man recently and then like jf careppi you know sort
03:24:43.180of saying well yeah yeah like we we want to be left alone that's it any guy who's married who's
03:24:50.680got a long-term girlfriend you know they want to go out and this might sound like a glib way
03:24:54.420of talking about but this is a deep psychological issue they got you gotta answer for because you
03:25:01.260have to kind of make the woman want it because if you just kidnap a woman and take her out to
03:25:06.240the woods and she's not on board with it she will take it out on you take it out on your children
03:25:11.460there's all kinds of crazy shit that happens like there's guys who think it's like i'm just
03:25:14.820gonna harangue her until to live in a cabin with me i'm like that's not you know i sound like a
03:25:19.460borderline feminist when i talk like this but i'm like you gotta get the it's a partnership
03:25:23.460it really is a partnership you got she's gotta want to do it otherwise she's gonna do something
03:25:29.980crazy event go stir crazy right so you gotta like propose it in a way where it sounds fun and enjoy
03:25:36.820my wife's like that like she's but she also says like it makes sense that we have a kid she's like
03:25:41.420okay, we'll move out to a rural area, but can we at least be close to a hospital? And I said,
03:25:46.220I never thought of that. I actually never considered that, but that makes sense in a way.
03:25:53.520And so there's certain realities that you have to live with. And this is something I tell young
03:25:56.800guys too. I'm like, there's certain realities that you have to grapple with, especially if
03:25:59.660you want a woman, it's difficult that you'll find one that aligns with you politically out of the
03:26:05.420box off the rack but you got to be able to explain it in a way that doesn't sound crazy because
03:26:12.840they'll hear the ted kaczynski thing oh you want to live in a big cubicle and go crazy and like
03:26:18.760collect newspapers there is a way to do this i'm sure woodlander did this many other guys do this
03:26:24.060where it's like what we're not we're building a community which is what a lot of guys are actually
03:26:28.300talking about we've shifted from i want to be a lonely homesteader to i want to start a community
03:26:33.940with a bunch of like-minded people that is where i think people need to be um and so maybe maybe
03:26:40.720ted kaczynski in his writings talked about that but you know who like i haven't read it so but i
03:26:46.780think there's more people who are living in the gray area between the two of trying to negotiate
03:26:52.800how much technology is useful like do people actually want to live like they're amish and
03:26:58.980you want to do that just because you hate and also to keep in mind um this is something we tell
03:27:03.700people do you hate the technology or do you hate the application of the technology and is there a
03:27:08.320way to use the technology for good you know um and we can go on all kinds of different technologies
03:27:14.440like is you know can you make your own search is the internet really mental poison or is there a
03:27:20.560way to have an internet that isn't polluting and a lot of people want to tear down the system and
03:27:25.940blow up everything that's actually it's it's easy and hard it's easy because it makes ideological
03:27:31.300sense but it's also the most difficult thing to do it might be easier instead of like everyone
03:27:37.340live in the woods and make it in this the other thing that the more separated you are from each
03:27:42.840other and the more separated you are from uh central areas of power the more easier you are
03:27:48.960to take out and i mean that both figuratively and literally that even if you want to decouple
03:27:54.940from society you have to be thinking in networks and to their credit this is what a lot of like
03:27:59.040homeschool parents do as well like you don't just have one homeschool family you've got a network
03:28:03.420of homeschool families that build this sort of parallel community and i think the parallel
03:28:08.900community model is the way to do it the ted kaczynski model is kind of a meme for us it's
03:28:15.080funny i'm not sure how many people like all the big ted k fans i don't know how many of them read
03:28:22.080his manifesto and that's fine you know that there's nothing wrong with that and to be honest
03:28:26.200like why do i like ted kaczynski you know most people like him because he blew up bureaucrats
03:28:31.580and that's okay disavow but also that's what he's known for people think it's kind of like a fun
03:28:38.080thing to do okay but no one actually knows really why he did it and if you read his his writing it's
03:28:44.620a lot of it's kind of like uh yaki's imperium it's a lot of like bitching about libs bitching
03:28:50.240about feminism and stuff like that like you you'd probably agree with it but it's not terribly deep
03:28:56.900if i can if i'm being honest um it's not like if you're going to read spangler or you know any of
03:29:04.260these other guys it's not really going to like open your eyes to something new it's like a loner
03:29:08.360guy at war with the world which is a it's nice i don't know if you can build your life around it
03:29:16.100And I think maybe we're at a point in whatever this movement is where people are looking for something with a bit more substance on what to do next.
03:29:24.180And maybe if it's a critique on technology, it needs to be a more sharply crafted critique on technology.
03:29:33.400Because I think people on our side have internalized, I use that word a lot this talk, internalized that they probably can't stop technology from developing.
03:29:44.240and if we are being cynical but realistic the odds are that transhumanism is coming down the pike
03:29:53.060and there's there's nothing you can do to stop it there's nothing you can do to really stop
03:29:57.140this train that's coming you have to figure out how to survive with it how to maybe guide it or
03:30:03.160influence it but our dreams of stopping that runaway train i think and more than anything
03:30:09.680they might just distract us that's my fear that was a wrangling answer too i apologize i hope that
03:30:16.800answered anything you asked no it did no um yeah i think the point about yeah is it the technology
03:30:24.520you hate or is it the way it's applied obviously we we don't have control over some of the ways
03:30:28.160it's applied and that's kind of one of the ideas of living as independently from the system as you
03:30:32.380can is to exert a bit more control you know just a bit more independent from a system that's going
03:30:38.740to wield a lot of these things in malevolent ways now it's hard to do that perfectly that people can
03:30:42.240probably do a lot better than they are that's why things like the woodlander initiative are you know
03:30:45.960are so encouraging and the the fantastic start that's got off to is so encouraging i think they're
03:30:50.160up to nearly 60 grand within like not much more than about two weeks um speaking of money 77th
03:30:54.900grade donate three us dollars and say good evening toller and dimes and everyone in the chat we're
03:30:59.440listening to what you have to say good then you might fucking learn something um anyway there we
03:31:03.940are um speaking of learning something um the remaining kind of main subject i mean i don't
03:31:10.400know if there was anything particularly you wanted to say you mentioned one um canadian content
03:31:14.140creator i don't know if there are any others you wanted to mention before we talk about your book
03:31:16.840about vanguardist journal but yeah oh oh sure yeah um there's we've had a few on our show um i know
03:31:22.320we talked to endeavor recently as well but we'd also spoken with this really interesting guy by
03:31:27.160the name of the black horse who's affiliated with that uh shieldings event that whole sector over
03:31:33.160there um in terms of canadian content careers i mean i like the kino casino myself uh andy warski
03:31:39.300and ppp you know i'm a big kino head um you know a lot of the old old ones i'm trying to think
03:31:46.280there used to be like there's a period where there's a ton of canadian podcasts and that they
03:31:50.140went away because they were kind of carbon copies of the daily show in one way or another
03:31:54.440then they went away and now there's a new crop that's more interesting i think and then like i
03:32:01.060there's the true north news like they'd probably be the most one that i would uh watch let me think
03:32:07.480i should have had i was coming up with names before this and now i'm fucking blanking probably
03:32:12.300i'll come up with some more like there's there's guys that i know like there's this little uh group
03:32:15.940a couple friends of mine they have a podcast called the great white north um there they talk
03:32:21.340yeah they talk about similar stuff um i i like those guys um if i think of any more i'll try and
03:32:28.540come up with some we covered all the ones i don't like already um but you you've got a you've got a
03:32:35.440book coming out am i right yeah well actually it came out um a couple months ago it's called the
03:32:42.080colossal corpus of serious gloves this is it's not a political thing it's just a collection of
03:32:48.740short stories primarily in the genres of science fiction and fantasy and horror so that'd be pretty
03:32:54.040you know familiar to anyone in our scene because a lot of our guys make content like that but it's
03:33:00.780uh stories that that i wrote and i produced the book myself um helped with design from a friend
03:33:07.120of my name censored anon who's a great fantastic designer yeah yeah he does great work and yeah
03:33:13.080i've been selling it through my site um my store called good suffer uh that's the use of v instead
03:33:19.880of a you um and where we sell a bunch of shirts and other things related to the show and it's
03:33:24.860been selling pretty well because this is something sorry i'll put a link in the chat oh good uh good
03:33:29.380suffer g-o-o-d-s-v-f-f-e-r.com um that's our story you can buy the hardcover and the paperback
03:33:37.620um oh sorry hang on oh s-v-f-f-e-r got you right yeah yeah i really fucked myself with that name
03:33:46.220but it's too late um and the the stories there i liked i'll tell you what the the idea for me was
03:33:55.540because i tend to write these stories but they almost begin with an apocalypse and rather than
03:34:02.460stories that meditate on the horrors of life or horrors of politics i kind of liked telling stories
03:34:10.620of hope um because it's very common in for guys like us and guys in our scene to tell dystopian
03:34:18.040stories about how bad the future can get and how rotten things are it starts off bad and it gets
03:34:23.960worse and i don't like telling the stories i like telling stories of maybe disjointed hope
03:34:29.500where it starts off with you know instead of starting off normal and then getting crazy it
03:34:34.920starts off crazy and it gets crazier um so you start from a position of something like hell has
03:34:41.460already invaded and is negotiating what to do with earth between the forces of nature and things like
03:34:47.820that um and and those are the types of stories i like to write and um yeah if people if you go on
03:34:54.560the site you can read like a sample story right now um and they're really really weird they're
03:35:00.300real real trippy um so if you like crazy trippy stories um i think you'll like it
03:35:07.040well there we are folks there's there's the big sell for you um you wanted to recommend as well
03:35:13.680a vanguardist journal didn't you yeah so if people like our show blood satellite i started
03:35:19.960this publishing site called the vanguardist journal and it's at vanguardistjournal.com so
03:35:25.300what i did was every episode we tend to cover a book we've been doing this for a long time a book
03:35:31.280that we discuss and we kind of relate it to people and so people can take these really
03:35:36.580large complicated ideas and kind of understand them in a practical way and then i thought well
03:35:41.700i'd like to explore these ideas in a more serious way because on the show we have fun
03:35:48.120or peppering in jokes and nonsense and maybe some of these better ideas could be collected across
03:35:54.000multiple episodes and collect into one holistic piece like that that really gives the the ideas
03:36:01.660they're due and come and kind of weaves a thread through many of the kind of stranger ideas because
03:36:06.880we cover a lot of crazy stuff on the show a lot of books pulled from different ideologies even
03:36:12.780some Marxist stuff, some anarchist stuff, quantum mechanics, psychology. And we weave these threads
03:36:21.360through them to kind of make a story about like how to essentially found a new nation state or,
03:36:28.980you know, to really tackle the big ideas, like how do you start like an actual nation or how do
03:36:35.860you start a religion in a sense? And the idea was to write these articles for individuals
03:36:41.940they're not just for public consumption they're for individuals in our scene who are perhaps
03:36:48.540agents of change perhaps men of action who want who who might be interested in you know we call
03:36:55.280this stuff theory cell stuff i hear you how the mission i had was can i take this theory cell
03:37:00.740stuff and make it practical make it something that someone who lives in the real world would
03:37:06.260give a shit about how because you the philosophy and a lot of these highfalutin or esoteric ideas
03:37:12.300they can be expressed and utilized in a way that can be used in the real world for our objectives
03:37:19.480you know and so i wanted to try that to take you know something like the accursed chair by george
03:37:25.120batai which is like this really like an occult marxist ritual sacrifice book but we but it's
03:37:32.300about monetary theory and kind of weave that into like quantum theory and the pieces are very very
03:37:37.680large they're around like between 4 000 to 6 000 words so if people want to check out that experiment
03:37:45.700you know i charmingly call it schizo but i think if you read one you'll see what i'm getting for
03:37:50.860like the first one we wrote was um how to essentially create a canadian identity now
03:37:58.140what does that mean? You know, and we leverage Albion Seed, you know, that great book about how
03:38:03.340what is a people? What are the components of a people? And how do you kind of ground that in
03:38:09.120spirituality, things like that? So it's like, for all the people who might be now wondering, like,
03:38:14.220okay, I live in a nation state, what is this nation state? Like, I, would I fight and die for
03:38:19.060this nation state? No. What would I fight and die for my people? Yes. Well, who are my people?
03:38:23.120How do we actually sort rank that? Like, what is the Canadian person? That's something we negotiate all the time in Canada. And some people think we're just an appendage of the Anglo-British. But then some people are asking, no, are we something more distinct? Is there a Canadian ethnicity? If there is, how would you create that? What are the components?
03:38:46.800and you know these are the kind of big questions we're asking but if you are just a regular guy
03:38:52.960who's in this political sector and you might have never seen these like kooky ideas explained in
03:39:00.000such a way so anyway if people are interested in that that's a very meandering pitch but
03:39:04.620i've never done i don't pitch this very often
03:39:07.540all i can say to that is i mean i i turn up and do impressions so my admiration for the work you're
03:39:15.240putting in on all of those fronts is endless it just it blows my mind um and that's something
03:39:19.720that people can go and have a look at um i'll tell you something else as well you've you've um
03:39:23.740you've got this business of working through subjects down to a fine art because we're we
03:39:27.260are kind of like bang on if not if not slightly ahead of schedule because we've covered everything
03:39:31.640on the list and i wondered if you don't mind maybe another 10 minutes more if we get anything
03:39:37.180whether to just open the field to any final questions it's rare that we have the luxury
03:39:40.200of doing that but we've we've run this quite efficiently tonight so uh of course i'd love to
03:39:45.040hear some i've loved them so far yeah i'm gonna go last orders on entropy so last orders on entropy
03:39:49.920have gone in on youtube you can get them in on entropy i'll try and keep an eye out elsewhere
03:39:53.520a little precedence to entropy because it's just easier to manage so yeah in the meantime we will
03:39:59.940see we'll see what comes in but um yeah it's nice not to have been beset by the technical problems
03:40:04.660this time because we were actually having some kind of quite good discussion last time and it's
03:40:07.840we've kind of recovered some of that ground even the music stuff it's just nice to be able to do
03:40:11.440it without like an intermittent lag of about a minute a minute and a half it's very if you've
03:40:15.780never done that it's a very sort of uh very disorienting thing to deal with as i'm sure
03:40:20.620you would attest times it was quite strange it's so frustrating you're always catching yourself
03:40:24.920talking over someone you're like i'm so oh oh no okay yeah no you go you just don't know where
03:40:31.260you are yeah it's it's it's really really weird um the internet does strange things um i think we
03:40:39.400thus far it looks like we've we've pretty well uh we've pretty pretty well satisfied everybody's
03:40:44.660curiosities because it looks like we're not doing too badly i'll just have a quick refresh of
03:40:48.280everything see how we're doing on that school we might be out of here early tonight folks we might
03:40:53.200be out of here early but we'll see how we go we'll see what we get coming in uh i don't want to close
03:40:57.500it off just yet um entropy is looking all right as well we'll have one more little look at that
03:41:01.980we'll perhaps give it a minute okay so nc in fact actually we've we've had something else
03:41:06.940coming on entropy um before we do something daft nc pigeon's written more bars so he said
03:41:12.540uh right okay so smash more poles than a drunk driver yeah my travels are infamous like lady
03:41:21.740godiva speeding through krakow on my 10k bike because i've got to show these birds striking
03:41:26.080mic yeah not bad not bad bleeding holograms with another three dollars throwing his money around
03:41:33.140like a drunken sailor says just when you thought it was safe just when i thought that was out they
03:41:37.160called me back in with another three dollars billy blogs there's a blast from the past nice to see you
03:41:40.960in there again mate and he's got we've got one for you dimes he said how does dimes define or
03:41:45.640envision transhumanism would something like the neural link implant create a transhuman
03:41:49.900good question i i would say yes um so i mean this is a big question so a long time ago one of the
03:42:01.760clients i had i'm going to see if i can compress this because i can go on for this for a while
03:42:05.660one of the clients i had was a non-profit that was engaged in what's called the longevity movement
03:42:12.300which is a very very large international movement that in short seeks to cure death
03:42:19.060and this has sign on by everyone from elon musk to mark zuckerberg almost anyone who has money
03:42:26.920is probably invested in this in some way the pritzkas i mean the pritzkas are big promoters
03:42:31.500of transgenderism as well but yeah i don't know yeah yeah well that's almost a second you know
03:42:37.440there's something interesting there that i'll get to i kind of gave that to um endeavor you didn't
03:42:42.840take it on the last talk but there's something to that where but i'll just start by saying that
03:42:47.360the goal of the stated goal you can look this stuff up of longevity movement is to essentially
03:42:52.420cure death and there's a lot of individuals who believe that the human within our lifetime we can
03:42:59.540see the first human live to be 200 years old now whether or not that's accomplished that is the
03:43:05.100stated goal now how would you do this how would you cure death and when i say cure death you have
03:43:10.740to understand that that that's the marketing in there that's how you get everyone on board because
03:43:15.360who doesn't want to cure death, especially if you're, especially if you had someone else around
03:43:19.400you die, curing suffering, you know, it almost sounds anti-Christistic, but it's very practical
03:43:27.000for people who live in suffering. So the idea of curing death has, would have wide appeal. And
03:43:33.660that's the other key to this, that almost no one would stand against this. Anyway, so you ask
03:43:38.100yourself, how would you make someone live to be 200? Well, cell death is relatively easy to
03:43:46.220understand. They can't do it perfectly yet, but making it so your cells of your body last longer
03:43:52.780is one thing. But you have to remember there's an entire dimension to this that's a lot more
03:43:57.460difficult, which is psychological. So they don't really know how to cure Alzheimer's. So you can
03:44:02.060make, you might be able to make the body live a thousand years in one way or another. Can you make
03:44:07.360the mind live a thousand years no there's all these you know there's a lot of the mind we don't
03:44:11.660understand so that's where something like neurotechnology would step in so the inevitability
03:44:17.280of this comes from are there enough billionaires and scientists in the world to force this through
03:44:25.860because you have to see not just the billionaires how many scientists would get into science because
03:44:30.740they say they want to cure suffering and death that's probably the the top of the top what's
03:44:36.080more divine than that, they might say. That's as close as a secular liberal can get to being a
03:44:43.100priest. So there's a lot of people working towards this. So that's why I think, what would it take
03:44:47.760to stop that? I don't know. So that's coming down the pike now. You ask, well, what form does that
03:44:52.800take? Well, that's Neuralink. Well, there can be a lot of specific technology that comes in place.
03:45:00.060And what's interesting is I spoke with JF Garepi. I said his name wrong, like I always do,
03:45:05.240but you know who i'm talking about absolutely he's got a fantastic book called the revolutionary
03:45:10.600phenotype that seems to address this problem and we discuss it on the show but uh the the
03:45:17.660the development of gene clinics could all you need is a certain percentage of the population
03:45:24.340to start editing the genes of their children to there's an avalanche effect that comes after that
03:45:30.160like if only rich people start customizing their kids so that they don't have diseases who wants a
03:45:37.700kid to have heart disease that's how it starts this starts with cancer by saying we can edit
03:45:42.340the genes and dna of your child so it never gets cancer maybe that happens then it just everything
03:45:47.120else comes and once like 15 the population does it then the entire middle class wants it then
03:45:52.820the poor people come then the underclasses make a play by saying it's not fair that the upper
03:45:57.580classes have it it should be free now everybody has it now everyone's editing their genes within
03:46:02.680his book he tells a story about how this could lead to a runaway phenotypic revolution but if
03:46:08.300we want to just keep it within the boundaries of acceptable technology what becomes more interesting
03:46:15.500is how they try and put a cap on this and i brought this up with endeavor and we didn't get
03:46:20.640to talk about it much but i said consider the and this is all crazy kooky speculative conspiracy
03:46:28.400stuff but we like to have a little fun so take this the scenario and run it through your mind
03:46:34.280the by making the average person more dysgenic you almost prohibit them from wanting to use
03:46:45.080transhumanism to become an uber mensch so the idea of you kind of polluting the the the psychology
03:46:54.300of the individual so that if given the opportunity to edit their own genes it would never even occur
03:47:00.100to them to want to be a super smart superhuman that seems like something a conspiracy theorist
03:47:06.100would find interesting like a dysgenic population if you give them the power of god they wouldn't
03:47:12.880actually know what to do with it that could be the long play with creating sort of a dysgenic
03:47:19.680lower iq population now that we could wander down that road for a long time but it's manageable
03:47:26.700it allows the smart people to create their genes and almost become superhuman um there's
03:47:34.100there's all kinds of you know spider webbing ideas you could have off this like the idea of
03:47:38.840Like once you really start altering the human brain, certain questions emerge, you know, philosophical questions or even metaphysical questions.
03:47:46.520Like what does a what does a 250 year old human mind look like?
03:47:53.340And by the time you're 250 years old, maybe you live in because so much of our life is spent bookended within this very finite window of time.
03:48:02.660If you start expanding that window with a healthy mind, after 200 years, are you almost a different person? Have you lived two lives? Have you been driven insane in some other way? We don't really know what that looks like.
03:48:18.080But I think what concerns people is it does feel like a runaway train that it's going to happen anyway.
03:48:25.380And for people like us on our side and the dissonant right, we're not very individualistic.
