00:02:46.740bobby bacala it might be i was thought of bobby as being fatter i mean veto is big but like bobby
00:02:53.720was just crepuscular veto because you gotta talk about the angles sorry i'm sorry i said i meant
00:03:00.200to say corpuscular corpuscular i said crepuscular he only comes out at dawn and dusk which is also
00:03:06.940kind of true the crepuscular which is a very vampiric but also that i remember him in the
00:03:13.900cat like out outside somewhere in a cafe and i'm meeting with veto and things are going well and
00:03:22.720i remember this is so stupid and do not psychoanalyze me from this next part i'm saying that
00:03:30.000to you i'm saying it to everyone at home but veto wants to come over and sit on my knee like i'm
00:03:35.420santa claus and he's like 450 pounds and he goes sit on my knee and i remember thinking
00:03:43.400this is great i'm climbing the ladder this is going great what was i worried about and then
00:03:49.320out of the corner of my eye i see some coming up behind me just a goon with brass knuckles he's
00:03:56.400about to strike me in the back of the head and take me out and he's trying to hold me down and
00:04:01.000distract me because also within the show he is gay so i'm like as the character i'm like this
00:04:08.500is a normal thing for a fucking goomba to do not knowing that Vito's actually gay but then I get
00:04:14.760up I scramble to my feet and then he's like he's got his fist caught back and then I run away and
00:04:21.960they're chasing me and I'm just going through back alleys I'm going through the streets it feels like
00:04:27.600I'm in Italy these really it's in the middle of the day and these buildings are are very European
00:04:34.300and looking and i'm i'm running towards a concert hall it's like a big uh music show is going on
00:04:42.060inside and i go in and like my sister is there but she's played by someone else it might just be
00:04:50.240meadow but there's like i within the context of the dream she's my sister i i go to find her i'm
00:04:56.400like they're running after like i'm trying to fucking get my stuff in order like they could
00:05:00.420be coming after her they could be coming after everyone so i'm going there and it's like some
00:05:04.600like ariana grande show and it's like all the guys from the show all the mobsters or the sopranos are
00:05:10.560there like taking their kids there so i'm running around they follow me in there and there's like
00:05:16.160nine of them in there now they're scoping me out i'm i remember i'm like in a ball pit and i'm like
00:05:21.640just trying to get through it i'm in the back rooms now this whole dream sounds like a ball pit
00:05:26.980Yeah. And then I see Tony. It's Tony Soprano. I go, hey, Tony. And he looks. And then I lead the two opposing families together. And then it's like 12 on each side. And they're yelling at each other. There's a fight about to break out, a brawl that I've caused.
00:05:47.440And then I see security come up, and then the police start showing up,
00:05:51.980and they start arresting the New York family, my pursuers.
00:05:56.000And they got them up against the wall.
00:05:58.160They got their hands up, spreading their legs.
00:28:46.840i don't i don't know but it just seemed maybe not the chinese maybe i think the japanese i think
00:28:52.500it's a wet exclusively western i think it like imposter syndrome has to rest on the complexity
00:28:59.600of our specific civilization you can't have imposter system imposter syndrome when you don't
00:29:06.560exist in a i you know that highly structured type of civilization it doesn't make sense
00:29:11.400Yeah. And so, you know, when they, that's what frustrates me so much about the scams they're running, because, you know, I just saw this meme today.
00:29:22.840A study was showing that the pathway that Indians take to get to America and Canada is the government will just print out a fake bachelor degree to send Indians over here for wealth extraction purposes, to send remittances back to India.
00:29:41.520so much of their economy is propped up by
00:29:44.080Indians in America and Canada sending money
01:34:02.180And so the circularity of this interpretive engagement has to do with moving back and forth between a certain preconception about the whole that I form from studying a part, moving then to the part, back to the whole, back to the part, back to the whole, and so on in a circular pattern.
01:34:20.040When you write something down, you're trying to have a transaction where something is going from you into someone else's head.
01:54:03.720like art and dance as ritual and pure creativity
01:54:11.160but also to commune with some other place.
01:54:14.340And this is such an old idea that seems frivolous to some.
01:54:19.340I think it's just random that we do this sort of thing.
01:54:23.340But, you know, it's essential to understand what understanding is and what people are actually trying to communicate with these sorts of expressions.
01:54:33.260And that's how you have to approach art, not just contemporary art, not just what you would find in an art gallery, but in a museum.
01:54:44.100Because so much of what we look at in museums is a form of art.
01:54:48.120you know even the hieroglyphs attempting to tell a story we'll try and say that's mythology
01:54:54.120and that myth like but what is mythology mythology is a story infused with this sort of
01:55:01.160art that comes from the realm of pure creativity and playfulness like it's it's not just supposed
01:55:08.020to be a historical narrative it's something more it's trying to communicate an event but
01:55:13.280not with cited sources not in an academic way but the very idea like when they build these these
01:55:20.520great obelisks when they build these megaliths like it's the total immersion into mythology and
01:55:28.840story and art and something that's told across time that like you don't know the particulars
01:55:36.040of what it's trying to say but you kind of get the gist of it that there's there's something you
01:55:41.240the very fact that you can connect to that as a human and not and know that's not like you go to
01:55:48.960fucking the stonehenge how does that speak to you how is it possible that that speaks to you
01:55:56.200it's trying to capture some kind of fundamental truth it's not just a message it's not just
01:56:03.260information it's something else something is being communicated across time and not without
01:56:09.880a language that is itself the language you see what i'm saying like i'm getting very abstract
01:56:15.960here with what i'm saying but it completely reframes like how history should be interpreted
01:56:23.800because we just think it means acute accuracy but does that really capture what the like what
01:56:30.840the truth what are you trying to get across is it just is everything just narratives and that's what
01:56:37.160what the postmodern condition is trying to address is this just stories is just is the
01:56:41.300whole purpose just to have hyper accurate documentation of things that happened and
01:56:47.320is that even possible now Gatimer would say that realistically that's not even possible because
01:56:52.440everyone has their prejudices you you you can never have pure accuracy you can never have pure
01:56:59.200interpretation do away with that idea so what else is it how do you how can you find the truth
01:57:07.620if we admit that's impossible to even gaze upon pure accuracy and even express it ourselves
01:57:16.200due to our own prejudices both as the author and as the viewer so the conflict of interpretations
01:57:23.460they would say well you never can and it's that misunderstanding that kind of creates understanding
01:57:28.340like that's one way to look at it but that's like that's like zizek's in the parallax view saying
01:57:34.780that you know it's our inability to achieve perfection that births the universe it's the
01:57:41.800denial of utopia that creates the world like it gets it it's it's it's like negativity it's like
01:57:48.880we're living in a negative world because of our inability to apprehend the truth means that that's
01:57:55.480how we create truth i'm just like ah it doesn't sound right to me either i still think there has
01:58:00.040to be some there has to be something beneath all this but but now you know i made a joke to my
01:58:06.280buddy theron from the book club where i said after i was done reading all this i said i don't
01:58:11.240fucking know anything anymore like what is what is what do i understand what do i know and so
01:58:17.460be forewarned you i would recommend this book but you shouldn't read this stuff people
01:58:23.760it gets it you spiral very very fast i think it's interesting but it i think i and i know we need to
01:58:32.160get going soon but i leave reading these books by saying that you know my ambitions previously
01:58:41.980were to you know we need to get to the truth of the matter but you know it's it's brought into
01:58:49.060sharp relief what our limitations are just as people you know should we even you know like i
01:58:56.660said my buddy theron he always says that like history doesn't exist and i always said well
01:59:01.300no i'm not sure i believe that because there has to be a thing like there has to be an accurate
01:59:06.020assessment of things that happened there are events and that like peasant riots happened right
01:59:13.540assassinations happened that's true so there is that and like the historical
01:59:20.360record must exist but anything beyond that anything that's just beyond an
01:59:28.440encyclopedia of events any sort of narratives or any elucidations on like
01:59:36.100what caused certain events or movements and stuff I think that's where it starts
01:59:42.200to get subjective right because it's it's like getting into the binary of history because that's
01:59:49.380what that is again the base level all information can be reduced to ones and zeros in the same sense
01:59:56.660history can be reduced to a sequence of moments right where things happen within those moments
02:00:03.600that is true but you can't do anything with that you still need to say like there's we have these
02:00:10.460programs to interpret those ones and zeros to make things on the screen there's also there's
02:00:14.360almost like a the map is the territory problem there where it's like our can you say history
02:00:18.760is actually reduced to ones and zeros or can you say history is described by ones and zeros
02:00:23.600and people who confuse description with reduction are making a mistake like there is something else
02:00:29.760real qualitatively that underlies that just because you can describe the entire thing doesn't
02:00:34.720mean that yeah you now have it in your hand the ones and zeros history of man who left home went
02:00:40.040to a castle and stab another man and then you build on that and say well that one man was a
02:00:46.000peasant the other one was a landed gentry what does that mean what caused that so boom there you
02:00:51.340go now you're trying to build a narrative build a story build meaning discover truth you're asking
02:00:58.420questions so like the ones you can't just look at the ones and zeros of history meaning these
02:01:04.320discrete actions and events and tell anything and that you could do that with accuracy but you're
02:01:10.540going to bring in your own prejudices the moment you start to even view let's say you could
02:01:15.060hypothetically just view that event happen you're already building in all this like interpretive
02:01:21.240data into that right so anyway um i know we need to get going now i hope people found this usable
02:01:28.360We're going to be talking about some other shit soon, but I just, I think it's, I have an interest in history, a lot of people do, and it's changed how I approach, you know, you might have an idea that someone who's read a lot of history is a scholar of history, but I don't think they have a better method of understanding history than any of us.
02:01:55.200you know and there's no way to read it all and if you pick one point in time like a lot of people
02:02:02.440are obsessed with world war ii it's even within those few years it's functionally impossible for
02:02:10.080any one person to know everything about that period of the most one of the most consequential
02:02:15.840periods in human history there's too many people too many narratives too it's too complex to even
02:02:21.440holding in one brain people you know so like you can't make yourself an encyclopedia or make
02:02:29.080yourself into an app to interpret those those ones and zeros you know any better than and any
02:02:36.780any other person could right um anyway so what did you think about all that just again i'm
02:02:43.800uh cogito hazard thanks a lot buddy cogito hazard you're welcome all right fuck all right i'll talk
02:15:47.500A bloated, corrupt, and dysgenic culture has resulted in far too many of our people becoming fat, sick, and weak.
02:15:56.040As I stated earlier, I believe that nationalism is love.
02:16:00.960How can one claim to love their nation, to care about the health of it, when they do not love themselves enough to care about their own health?
02:16:10.860Fitness is not optional for a nationalist.
02:22:50.560It simply seeks to reduce any obstacles or points of friction in its drive for the most efficient use of inputs and most profitable production of outputs.
02:23:06.000Cheaper labor, more consumers, higher GDP.
02:23:10.640Capitalism treats individuals primarily as interchangeable units of labor, production, and consumption.
02:23:17.760It is not interested in the racial or cultural identities of producers and consumers.
02:23:24.880When these two neutralities are fused, they become perfect partners.
02:23:32.060They were great partners during the 40s phase of accumulation from the 1940s to the 1970s.
02:23:39.960When I say 40s, it comes from the word from Henry Ford.
02:23:44.180for this regime of accumulation is associated with the idea that as capitalism began to
02:23:52.180produce a lot of goods, cars, refrigerators, you name it, they needed consumers, and that
02:38:52.140We need an economic reorientation on the state direction to move away from neoliberal globalization to an authoritarian state capitalist system that prioritizes the nation's identity.
02:39:11.140identity. This entails heavy investment in automation, robotics, and other productivity
02:39:19.520enhancing technology to replace foreign labor rather than importers. And all kinds of state
02:39:28.320coordination measures that we don't have time to get into. Finally, we need cultural
02:39:34.640and institutional consolidation, end official multiculturalism and DEI, restore merit and
02:39:44.540competitiveness, and promote a national identity rooted in European heritage across all schools,
02:40:00.920history, and I think that Japan is something we can,
