00:19:20.600Anyone who knows anything about politics, I don't care if you're a Beltway insider.0.51
00:19:24.860if you've watched enough house of cards or any of these political shows you know that
00:19:29.860the fact that that came after the debate and not before the debate was damage control0.94
00:19:35.300they brought out taylor swift because they thought kamala did such a bad job they needed something to0.59
00:19:42.080turn this into a win that's why does it make any fucking sense that 15 minutes after the debate0.78
00:19:48.100taylor swift comes out to endorse kamala that just seems like such a naked political strategist0.71
00:19:54.580move to me and maybe to others and and again the question is will other people read it that way
00:20:00.260i think men will women might not or they might try to ignore but i'm like it doesn't even seem
00:20:05.600to me that her team has confidence in her and that you know we return back to the fact that
00:20:10.700she did not answer a single question she did not provide a single point there's a couple times
00:20:16.660where trump said something she said that's a lie trump trump's lied a lot tonight but failed to
00:20:22.100explain how he lied so it's whether or not that works because to me when trump says someone's
00:20:27.640lying he'll point out why they're lying and you might not like how he explains it but he will0.94
00:20:31.440explain she just said yeah that's bullshit anyway i'm like that's so lazy i don't know if that0.71
00:20:38.940laziness even flies like that's where i come back to a kamala harris's campaign might be the worst0.97
00:20:45.920political campaign i've ever seen just from my perspective it's been one pr disaster after
00:20:51.760another it's been the fact that after something like something weird happened which is president
00:20:59.840biden was because remember and this is the other thing let me just mention this before i forget
00:21:04.720this is the second debate right this is the second debate trump has done the first debate was with0.87
00:21:10.960biden remember and that went so poorly that biden dropped the fuck out i wish trump would have0.99
00:21:19.600reminded people of that that this what you're seeing right now is a shit show what you're0.97
00:21:24.460seeing right now is the guy i debated i defeated so thoroughly he's gone now but he's also still0.98
00:21:32.360president that's fucking insane i beat him in the debate so bad he decided he can't be president but0.80
00:21:38.360stuck being president well i think he did he did say that at one point early on where he's like0.99
00:21:43.020and and where is your boss you know where is where is the president is he even our president
00:21:47.080he doesn't even know if he's president i'm like yes because the the discursive kill shot that
00:21:54.300trump has is the one that every contender has which is that whatever people don't like right
00:21:59.920now you can blame on the incumbent and and we'll get to this in a second but this whole like haitian0.98
00:22:06.100immigrant thing that is such a fucking bomb that's landed right in kamala harris's lap and he did0.99
00:22:11.820nail her with that but he really should nail her with it's like you have all the power right now0.99
00:22:16.000and you've done nothing you're technically in charge right now don't you don't have a plan0.78
00:22:21.160any plan you had you have action so you are also ineffective what's everyone's favorite kamala
00:22:26.160harris policy can you name one i'm on board with all of this but like using looking at like the
00:22:31.680haitian ohio thing or wherever it was the haitian springfield the if you just look at it like ink
00:22:40.000blot demographic ink blot democracy don't analyze it not even first order analysis just feeling and
00:22:47.460color right the fact that trump is orange man bad disinformation and what do they call it they call
00:22:54.960it fake news right mr fake news the fact that he brought up something which is sounds right to the0.54
00:23:04.760uninitiated very extreme Haitians eating cats what what is what is that all about and that was the
00:23:11.920way that Kamala immediately treated it she didn't treat it seriously she laughed and she smirked and0.83
00:23:16.820she's are you serious can you believe this guy Haitians eating cats and then immediately Muir0.99
00:23:22.160that faggot picked it up and says uh yes Mr. Trump just to clarify we spoke to the city manager and1.00
00:23:27.940he said that there are no Haitians eating cats that it's all fake news and they moved on and I1.00
00:23:32.620think that is honestly enough for most voters because voters are fucking retarded I actually1.00
00:23:37.940do I think they I think they actually control that I think that's bullshit but I mean I'm just1.00
00:23:42.660looking at the last election which was clearly stolen and absolute garbage and I'm looking at0.99
00:23:47.100our own elections in Canada which are completely fraudulent and this is what's been going on here
00:23:50.900So to me, it's like, well, I don't think that should work. But it has that exact thing that they did during this debate. It worked in the last election and it worked in our last election and the election before that. So it's I mean, I wish it wasn't working, but it's fucking working.
00:24:04.440I remember what Marco Popic said in Geopolitical Alpha. He said every election kind of pivots along a single point and the winner is typically the one who could identify that point. And he had said that the first election of Trump, I think he was right in saying this, it wasn't even migration. It was more globalism. And that was a lot of what Trump and migration and the border was kind of bound up in that. But it was a larger anti-globalization thing.0.95
00:24:31.500i think this election more than anything is straight up immigration i think that is the
00:24:36.820conversation that is acutely occurring right now uh throughout america and part of it's the
00:24:43.780part of it's the indian stuff like it is mass migration in a way that they couldn't be open
00:24:49.820about it before and so that's why when kamala harris pivots to green energy and trump's trying
00:24:56.240trying to go out of fracking i'm like you could really just hammer the migration point like stay
00:25:01.540on like if he chose to stay on the haitian migrant thing if he chose to stay on border stuff
00:25:07.180and just drag drag it back to the fact that he tried to a few times too he was he was pulling
00:25:12.040pulling out the immigration thing the border thing multiple times and i think that's what's
00:25:15.340going to help him and why might actually make him win because what remember that's what the
00:25:20.240democrats failed at the first time is they refuse to have that conversation they refuse to acknowledge
00:25:24.620that it was a problem he at least will so you have to keep bringing them back to look here is0.97
00:25:29.260this like kind of weird you want to call jd vance weird what the fuck is kamala harris you want to0.82
00:25:34.340talk weird weird looking like cackling lady who refuse who just wants to talk about solar panels1.00
00:25:40.760instead of like all these instead of dumping 20 000 haitians into 50 000 population down like1.00
00:25:46.780she doesn't think that's important like that's the headline like i would say make that your1.00
00:25:51.260fucking banner she doesn't think this is important that that's how she fucking loses if they wanted0.99
00:25:57.640to do that the problem is trump has boxed himself into a corner because he can't be seen bullying a1.00
00:26:03.180woman even though it worked so well the first time by saying like i'm gonna throw hillary clinton in
00:26:08.660prison and uh whatever happens there i'm not gonna say what's gonna happen there but let's just say
00:26:13.940let's let's just say they're not gonna like her very much let's just say i hear there's seven
00:26:20.280holes on the human body you know i i thought there was four i'm being told there's seven i
00:26:24.340don't know how many holes they're saying seven they're gonna find out the first time i mean i
00:26:29.760may understand for the first time there's seven holes she's gonna find out in a few days when
00:26:33.640she's in prison you know back when she was first starting all those years ago they were saying
00:26:39.320that she had two holes and they'd come to me and they'd say oh two hole come out what they called
00:26:44.200her i said come on you know two holes your math is off there's just no way that's what they're
00:26:49.760saying i i hate for that to be right you know we'll find out she's gonna find out you may i doubt
00:26:55.960what is her daughter how is her daughter doing they're saying she's got eight holes i've never
00:27:00.580seen it when where could they all go that's what they're saying and i read i read about it in one
00:27:05.620of our greatest papers the uns review fantastic paper ron and he's been heading up this story
00:27:12.240in ways that you wouldn't believe ron uns is he jewish is he not nobody knows
00:27:17.400and when he's saying that he's doing that gesture where he has his palms open and brings the wrists
00:27:27.220together you know it's the biggest shame these men these men claiming to be women they're putting
00:27:31.220them in the women's prisons there's a lot of them in there now there's all kinds of men in the
00:27:34.660there's all kinds of men there's all kinds of whoever whatever they're doing how many holes
00:27:40.120i don't know she's gonna find out she's gonna come with her ideas they got their ideas and uh
00:27:45.460look you know i i'd love to help her we've all tried to help her and uh it's a shame it's it's
00:27:51.420a it's a dirty shame but that's that's the that's the way the cookie crumbles
00:27:56.120but yeah that was the debate like it's a lot of people said she won you make a convincing case
00:28:02.380my case like i still do believe it it's whether or not it's whether or not people can just straight
00:28:07.940up deny reality and that sounds like a very naive point because everyone's gonna say of course that's
00:28:13.460what politics is it is just a circus but just to me kamala harris has not had a single win like0.99
00:28:20.720that whole brat thing that went nowhere guys trying to make her brat that meme that fucking0.87
00:28:28.400failed let's talk about that let's talk about how every attempt to make her girl boss has kind of0.78
00:28:34.240fallen flat that's why they have taylor swift endorsing her that is their nuclear option i
00:28:39.700kind of agree like on some level all elections but this election in particular is completely
00:28:45.380about spin and narrative and memes and it doesn't like the whether or not somebody is if factual or
00:28:52.520has a coup or something at the at the debate isn't going to matter that much in the long run as long
00:28:57.960if one person can grab on to one meme and write it all the way to the polls then they can actually
00:29:03.220win on that the thing that concerns me a little bit is just i think sometimes we get into we
00:29:11.160definitely on our side get into an echo chamber about how well things are going and i think that
00:29:16.040we i twitter is a kind of a an edge case where we are actually getting more we're getting a wider
00:29:24.420casting a wider net with our ideas than we used to but i do think broadly that they have more
00:29:32.100control over the media input to the average low information voter than they did four years ago
00:29:41.400or eight years ago. I do think that they, again, if we're just talking about the massive low
00:29:47.120information voters, and many of whom now, again, compared to four years ago, are illegal immigrants
00:29:51.180themselves, right? I guess what really struck me about this debate was historically, if you saw
00:29:56.900debate people lie of course people try and hand wave you know attacks away but this is one of the
00:30:03.500most intense examples where a claim was made and they just outright lied or ignored like trump would
00:30:10.880say something and she would just stonewall him and talk about something else entirely which is
00:30:15.580something biden would do and biden has lost his mind so she was giving a senile man's type of
00:30:22.980answer and that seemed to fly and on top of that the abc moderators both of them would back her up
00:30:28.780with the lie like they were also fact checking him and lying you know the actual moderators
00:30:34.620themselves were fact checking trump and lying about it and then backing kamala's lies up live
00:30:40.900so this is what i'm saying like when they can do that and this is funny because i mentioned it to
00:30:45.900the wife that i was watching this last night and she's kind of laughing at me like why are you even0.98
00:30:49.520bothering this is just the fucking it's a meme carnival of bullshit and i i and i kind of agree1.00
00:30:55.140like this shit doesn't this this shit doesn't matter there will be an election also the fact1.00
00:31:00.480that there's no audience to do with the debate yeah that's exactly right there's no audience1.00
00:31:04.340this is just it was just like like two cameras it seemed like two cameras in a very sterile
00:31:11.220cheap looking set with two moderators very in very claustrophobic if you kind of look at it
00:31:17.220from above it's like this when it was in the round and there was like there was people in the back
00:31:22.520and it felt like a real event i'm like this could have taken place at any black site in arizona and
00:31:28.120then you consider the fact that you consider the fact that they've been using lawfare against trump0.99
00:31:33.380for years now he now has he's like a what is he has like 34 felonies or some stupid shit0.99
00:31:37.680and the fact that kamala was not even didn't she didn't there was no uh voting in the any primary0.99
00:31:45.080for her right like she she was essentially appointed by people in a dark smoky room to1.00
00:31:50.880become the nominee well after the date had passed in like at least half a dozen states but nobody0.65
00:31:56.720cares right so it this is not none of this is democratic i don't think the last election was
00:32:01.620democratic anyways but this is democratic maybe in the terms in terms of what we call democratic
00:32:06.240institutions or it's democratic in terms of it's a war between two elite parties for the minds0.99
00:32:12.400of a stupid population but that's where the similarity to a democracy ends this isn't this1.00
00:32:17.640isn't a fucking election you know what i mean this is like this is like a fifth generational1.00
00:32:22.480civil war this is essentially what's happening this isn't even a fucking election you had something0.99
00:32:27.120i was watching just recently that relates to that is i was going back through that adam curtis0.95
00:32:33.280documentary the century of self which most people have seen i don't know if you've seen that
00:32:38.940but multi-part I think the full thing's like three and a half hours long but it starts off
00:32:44.020but it's like the history of psychiatry and mass media in America and it goes back to Sigmund Freud
00:32:50.980and Edward Bernays all up through like the beginning of the 20th century all through the
00:32:56.420end of the 20th century the story of basically persuasion in media and one thing it mentions
00:33:03.620the first part I think is the best because it really deals with Freud and Edward Bernays
00:33:07.080But it talks about the innovation of thinking that showed that people were, they use the phrase irrational. I don't believe, because there's the ideal man, the democratic liberal man who is completely rational and makes rational decisions.
00:33:28.660And they were saying, no, there's actually this subconscious self, and it's driven by destructive urges and perversions and things like that.
00:33:35.560I do agree that there are layers to the self.
00:33:39.400I don't think it's a duality between the rational and the irrational.
00:33:42.500I think what they call irrational is actually something much deeper and more significant and more spiritual and more ontological.
00:33:49.920But they're looking at it from a very liberal view.
00:33:52.980Point being that these things were beginning to be proven scientifically and in the zeitgeist and changing the status quo.0.96
00:34:03.300And basically, people were admitting, the government was admitting, like, damn, if it is true that individuals are not rational actors, then democracy doesn't work.0.98
00:34:13.220Like, if at any level you accept just the broad concept that the average person isn't 100% driven by rational, logical decisions, that they could be driven by fear or weird memories or dreams they had or allegiances to their ancestors, anything that isn't just self-interest, then democracy actually doesn't fucking work.0.96
00:34:38.220And this is something the government knew, too.
00:34:39.920And psychoanalysis carried in it the promise that it can be done.
00:34:45.880It opened up new vistas as to how the inner structure of the human being can be changed
00:34:53.780so that he becomes a more vital, free supporter and maintainer of democracy.
00:35:04.600The psychoanalysts were convinced they not only understood these dangerous forces, but
00:44:23.380And some of us are here via a federal program that allows us to have a social security card, employment authorization, that allows us to temporarily stay in the country.0.99
00:44:38.980There's a lot of unemployed Haitians there now.1.00
00:44:43.020And what skills are they bringing?1.00
00:44:44.540none um but then an immigrant driver involved in a fatal school bus crash um a fucking haitian0.99
00:44:50.380without a license and legal immigrant drove his car into a school bus that's another way to phrase0.99
00:44:54.880that did he drive his car into the side of a school bus is that what happened he had he had
00:45:01.040a school bus let me see hold on was he i thought he was the driver of the school yeah no no a minivan
00:45:06.640veered into oncoming traffic and rammed into a school bus on the first day of class killing an
00:45:11.38011 year old boy so i believe this was no way dude everyone that i every version of that that i read
00:45:18.480from mainstream made it seem like it was an accident and he was the driver of the school bus0.94
00:45:23.360and i'm like how does that work how does an illegal haitian drive a fucking school bus no no he was0.94
00:45:27.580just illegally driving probably a stolen vehicle and hit a bus let me just continue it emerged that0.97
00:45:33.700The driver of the minivan was not a longtime resident, just the phrasing there alone.
00:45:44.780Despite his appearance of wearing track pants every single day of his life and Adidas flip-flops,
00:45:52.700he was but one of thousands of immigrants from Haiti who had recently settled into the area.
00:45:58.320He was driving with a foreign license, not valid in Ohio, of course.0.99
00:46:03.240And it just so happened that he veered in the oncoming lane and hit a fucking school bus.0.99
00:46:06.680So that's the story that got people rankled.0.99
00:46:09.260And then, of course, they're blaming J.D. Vance for commenting on this horrific story of an 11-year-old boy getting killed, whereas many others could have died as well.
00:46:19.860And this shone light on this town where there's also, there's clips, there's town hall video of actually men and women, white and black, even black Americans are coming out.0.99
00:46:32.140They're saying, why aren't you people doing something about all these Haitians?1.00
00:50:39.020During the last census in 2020, a little more than 58,000 people live in Springfield, but it has changed dramatically in years as a boom in manufacturing and warehouse jobs attracted a swelling wave of immigrants, mainly from Haiti.
00:50:52.760So let me just back up there because they don't explain this in any piece.
00:50:57.100How are the Haitians hearing about warehouse jobs in Springfield?
00:51:02.140Anyone who's worked in a warehouse, you know, I've worked in construction for a while, so I've built a warehouse before.
00:51:07.300If you're building a warehouse, sure, there's jobs.
00:51:10.920If you're working in a warehouse, that's something that robots are going to take over in 13 minutes, right?
00:58:00.720And just imagine what it's like in Canada.0.90
00:58:03.780And to think of a Canada, like all the available jobs that you don't get access to have been filled by Indians and Filipinos and whoever else.0.87
00:58:12.560And so the ones of those groups that aren't employed are just because there's just so many of them.0.98
00:58:17.840There's too many here to fill the jobs that are already gerrymandered in their favor.
00:58:22.840So it says the way that this network has seized control of the labor market of the United States is easy enough to understand.
00:58:28.580Firstly, it has positioned itself as a way to remove recruiting costs to employers.0.92
00:58:34.220Next, it offers employers laborers who can work for lower wages by also providing its refugees with a plethora of social welfare.
00:58:41.680Finally, it can provide access to the entire global labor market by setting the conditions of refugee status to effectively cover anybody in the world.
00:58:51.500If an employer needs nurses, janitors, programmers, police, or literally any kind of worker, the network can provide them to employers at a lower rate of pay than what the American citizen would require due to not having access to the same welfare benefits.
00:59:06.220And that's something you saw in Springfield, where a lot of these Haitian refugees, they're getting $1,500 a month of welfare. And there's white men, residents living below the poverty line. They're offering me $75 a month in welfare. And he's like, what the fuck's that about?0.58
00:59:26.500And then the fucking right wing liberals that I'm seeing, like the Richard Hananias, they're like, yeah, but look at you, you're a fat loser.1.00
00:59:34.720Like they're trying to twist this whole argument to be like, you know, the real problem is just white losers who want that welfare to like to distract you from what's going on.0.96
00:59:45.760He says this consultant here says these globally sourced scab workers don't require health insurance and have all living expenses subsidized by the federal programs.0.88
00:59:56.500They cover the cost of these global laborers by paying much, much more for food, housing, and health care.0.57
01:00:03.240If the trend of authoritarian communism continues to end, yes.
01:00:06.840If 80% of work opportunities are already exclusive to connected networks, most of the public will soon have no choice but to work directly for the government.
01:00:16.580The military recruiting crisis will be resolved by simply continuing to deny access to employment and driving up the cost of living to citizens.
01:00:25.080He's got some receipts here to prove it.
01:00:28.760The site we're looking at is called Switchboard Connecting Resettlement Experts.
01:21:00.380It kind of over explains it near the end.0.91
01:21:03.280so if there's any problem it's that but other than that like it's a really fucking cool movie
01:21:08.880i i would recommend it what are your thoughts on that based on i mean i'm gonna watch it for
01:21:14.260sure now i i think if anything hurts it it's that there's too much anticipation behind it so
01:21:20.620everyone's going to be let down a little bit you know if you're going into this expecting
01:21:25.260a kubreckian masterpiece like no it's it's not that it's i would say it's like an i would put
01:21:32.520like an eight out of ten just like like late night with the devil or something like if you just found
01:21:38.180this movie by accident you'd fucking love it this would be a hidden gem but if you're because there's
01:21:44.980nothing good out right now you're thinking this has to be the movie of the year right it's that's0.93
01:21:50.500too much responsibility for it to shoulder
01:21:53.680all right so i'll just move on to a bit of show news um just a couple things here so
01:22:04.640like i mentioned earlier uh on tuesday i held another x space um for the ongoing series every
01:22:14.180two weeks i'm going to have one of these spaces that's just about advertising and marketing
01:22:19.500and the name of it is ad church um i'm going to be moving them to monday it's going to every two
01:22:25.220weeks i'm going to do it every monday in the evening eastern standard time because sunday's
01:22:31.320for church monday's for ad church and it's going to be like around an hour an hour and change
01:22:38.380the last one we discussed the concept of positioning you know it's i'm going to be
01:22:42.220having guests in the future i've got a few confirmed it's gonna be really fun um so that's
01:22:47.160just something that you know we'll see where that goes i'm having fun doing it though um and also
01:22:51.800there's a new vanguardist journal article that was posted just this week titled eugenic individualism
01:22:59.320in the great abandonment so you can find that on substack you can find it on vanguardistjournal.com
01:23:05.880spend quite a bit of time on that one and people the feedback is is really good so far you probably
01:23:12.040didn't get a chance to read it yet but it's one of those articles that's on the shorter side it's
01:23:16.020not like the 9 000 word you know magnum opuses that i was doing before um so yeah go into it
01:23:24.580understanding that it's it's not telling people to have fewer kids or anything uh read it to the end
01:23:30.440i'll think you'll like it because i touch on the book we discussed last time of the the new nobility
01:23:37.420of blood and soil um so yeah give that a shot at least in this book i want to discuss this time
01:23:44.720And actually, I'm going to cue that up with just, I want to mention this sub stack that I read recently that I think gives it a bit of context.
01:24:17.920When philosophically educated non-German academics are asked about who the most important and high caliber philosopher of Germany in late 20th century is,
01:24:28.240they mostly come up with JĂĽrgen Habermas, who we covered before.
01:24:31.840And with the noble exception of Paul Gottfried, almost no one would even possibly come up with the name Panagiotis Condelis,
01:24:40.040whose work for the most part is not translated into English yet.
01:24:43.420And there's this guy, Condoleez, he predicted a lot of things in his writings throughout the 80s and 90s, specifically his book in 1992, Planetary Politics After the Cold War.
01:24:55.380And it says here, I give you some of his prophetic forecast advance and then work my way from there.
01:25:02.200He says in his 92 book, Planetary Politics After the Cold War, and his 95 essay, Europe Facing the Outside of the 21st Century.
01:25:10.280um condolese pointed out that the west although drunk by the cold war victory is basically
01:25:16.880demographically doomed if it does not change course given his clear understanding of how
01:25:22.320intellectually unelite political elites were already back then he explicitly anticipated
01:25:28.500the possibility that the west's ideological favorite child which is human rights universalism
01:25:34.520could get turned into a death trap by those elites with this then resulting in what is0.99
01:25:40.120now unfolding namely millions of refugees entering European countries. That's his main1.00
01:25:45.860prediction. He says in the Planetary Politics of the Cold War book, Condoleez states that his aim
01:25:52.300is to give a future-oriented description of the status quo. This description of in course is
01:25:58.560embedded in a history of the modern European age that enabled and paved the way for the planetary
01:26:03.760age Condoleez is describing in his later political works in the very broad strokes four steps are
01:26:10.320important number one the inception of planetary politics in the year 1600 number two its development
01:26:17.560during the modern age into the rise of a mass society around 1900 number three the transformation
01:26:24.740of western mass societies into hedonistic mass democracies after 1945 and for the end of the
01:26:33.080Cold War, which Condoleez already describes as the end of the modern European age and
01:26:38.800the possible beginning of the end of Western supremacy and maybe even Western identity
01:26:45.080or at worst, the West's existence as such.
01:26:48.760The age of mass democracy did not end with the Cold War, but Condoleez analyzed the West's
01:26:54.000Cold War victory as a fearic one since the historic and societal formation that was in
01:26:59.720place when the cold war ended was also catastrophically unprepared for dealing with its own
01:27:05.160success um he said according to condolese the age of planetary politics began with the inception
01:27:13.040of european colonialism around 1600 colonialism is not purely a political phenomena but an economic
01:27:20.760one the inception of which is also the inception of globalization since colonialism essentially
01:27:26.180means the formation of the colonial system and the world marketplace so i just like the way he
01:27:32.740framed that about planetary politics beginning in 1600 and effectively ending at the end of the
01:27:38.820cold war with its total victory but that total victory causing the the supremacy of like what
01:27:47.200you might call liberal secular humanism and that causing you know the west's ultimate downfall
01:27:52.860um from the mass society to the hedonistic mass society is what he describes it as
01:28:00.000um and you know we discussed jĂĽrgen habermas talks with this as well we discuss his book
01:28:05.360um the the public sphere and whatnot but i use i use this example just to tee up our next book
01:28:13.720which is one that a lot of people have probably heard of and remarkably you've read this one as
01:28:19.880well and you've read this one a long time ago way before me and i should have read this up you know
01:28:25.680prior to now but i didn't and better late than never i am of course talking about mein conf
01:28:31.460now you would think that someone in our position you know someone like myself would have read it
01:28:41.160by now but i think like a lot of people i read parts of it or i just listened to other people
01:28:47.580who had read it and got the overview of it from them because everyone talks about it but how many
01:28:53.320people have sat down and read it you know quite a few that i know personally but i never just from
01:28:58.640cover to cover read it's around 700 pages i picked what's known as the dalton translation there's a
01:29:04.780few translations out there this is the one i had recommended by my good friend thomas 777
01:29:10.580there's some debate about which one you should read because the one line that everyone wants to
01:29:17.700see is when he writes i stood there thunderstruck um and that's not in every single translation
01:29:24.900it's not in this one you know the translation was like i was dumbfounded but no you you want
01:29:30.020you want the power of him describing what it's like to talk to jews it is being thunderstruck
01:29:36.320isn't it um yeah it's a very long book i i don't have time today to cover it all but i think
01:29:43.620the conversation i'd love to have and i'd love you to give your thoughts on it as well but
01:29:49.160what struck me the most was you know my favorite part was the beginning of him describing his
01:29:57.460upbringing and describing his his transition into the national socialist german workers party
01:30:04.560and how incongruent that was with how how it's depicted in popular culture in film in television
01:30:11.600shows even the ones that try and treat it very seriously he's always depicted as this kind of
01:30:18.040sniveling bitter young man and that is not the impression you get from the book for example
01:30:23.620but you know just at the top top i would say that i'm going to say this as if it needs to be said
01:30:58.940at soundless what just at the top what did you think because you you would have read it quite
01:31:03.260some time ago but do you remember it what do you think yeah a couple years ago actually it's it's
01:31:08.380just a good book i had the same feeling like i was a little bit surprised and impressed because i
01:31:15.000kind of thought well this is going to be a dry propagandistic autobiography by a dictator it
01:31:19.820doesn't matter whether i agree with him or like him that's a type of book right and the there tend
01:31:24.060to be not that good from the ones the limited number of them that I've read um they're not
01:31:30.320good I part of it I think is that a lot of autobiographies are not autobiographies they're
01:31:33.940written by a ghost writer and they're like kind of hammed up this literally was a book that he
01:31:38.000wrote and he wrote it it's called my struggle like he he wrote it during the struggle as I
01:31:42.960understand it um during and after so it really does read more like um like a memoir or more like
01:31:50.840Like I remember reading adventure books as a kid about people who are like lost in the woods and how they got out and how it made them feel.
01:31:58.400And that's the feeling that I got from reading this.
01:32:00.600Like it is quite emotional and you're reading through his transformation and all of the things that caused it and then what resulted from that.
01:32:11.260It's a really, it's really, it's a great read.
01:32:13.180Honestly, even if you hate Hitler, read it.
01:40:58.740So from between Vienna and Munich, he's people watching and he's sitting in the parks and in cafes and sketching people, trying to talk to people.
01:41:05.740And like, especially when you get there, you have that that vigor in the first year.
01:41:09.100You just want to make friends with everybody.
01:41:12.540And and then getting kind of burned by that, not only through a lot of negative interactions as a as a country person, negative interactions with the bitter, cynical outsiders in the city.
01:41:23.140but also just from people watching as an artist because as an artist you will sit for hours and
01:41:28.780study people's facial expressions and the color of their clothes and how clean they are and what
01:41:34.000direction they walk is there a pattern is there like you're looking for all of these relationships0.85
01:41:37.840and you're watching them and i get that i i fucking been there doing that in toronto in like0.81
01:41:45.9002004 so it's it's like i totally fucking get where he's coming from and that will like anybody go0.93
01:41:52.320go and try to do like sketches on bay street in toronto today and you will come away you will0.88
01:41:58.360come away racist i swear to you let me just read a segment where he's talking about that he says
01:42:02.800for many people the name of vienna signifies innocent pleasure a festive place for happy
01:42:07.980people for me unfortunately it's a living memory of the saddest period of my life even today
01:42:13.140the mention of that city arouses in me only gloomy thoughts five years of poverty in that
01:42:19.080fashion town five years in which i had to earn my daily bread first as a casual laborer and then as
01:42:25.080a painter of little trifles every book that i bought meant renewed hunger and every visit to
01:42:31.000the opera meant the intrusion of that inhospitable comparison in the days to follow at the beginning0.94
01:42:37.320of the century vienna was socially speaking one of the most backward cities in europe dazzling0.84
01:42:42.520riches and loathsome poverty were intermingled in violent contrast there was hardly any other0.94
01:42:47.720german city in which the social question could be studied better than in vienna and it makes me
01:42:53.760think of toronto too yep it's toronto and like you said there he describes being in like in a bar and
01:42:59.540he's drinking a glass of milk doesn't have a lot of money he's like i'm just sitting there meeting
01:43:02.880my lunch and i'm listening and i'm hearing these social democrats talking he's like i've never
01:43:07.320encountered a marxist before and it it ran parallel to what we were discussing in that last live stream
01:43:13.660about the communist party of canada and he's describing how you know i've always been on the
01:43:19.520side of guilds i've always been on the side of unions i'm a working man i'm a laborer and we're
01:43:24.520all part of a union you know and he's describing the life of a hard-working union man about how0.99
01:43:31.080he's ground up in the city but he says then these fucking marxists come in and they talk a big game0.98
01:43:37.780about the working man about the working class but i started noticing by just hanging around0.98
01:43:43.520and listening to them in the bars that every single time they were chatting up the working
01:43:48.580class they were also denouncing germany and german identity and german history like it was
01:43:54.320impossible for marxist to talk about class struggle without saying that her religion and
01:44:00.640her identity were also the root of the problem he's like then i started noticing oh you people
01:44:04.700are just anti-german and you're dressing it up as something else and that's we were talking about
01:44:10.120the communist party like you guys are trying to claim guilds you're trying to claim unions and0.97
01:44:14.840he's saying like the unions existed before the fucking marxist and the social democrats showed0.99
01:44:19.120up yep and they're here just trying to like convince them to also be anti-german and shit0.99
01:44:24.880and these you know this is even before he starts talking about jews um he says here just another0.97
01:44:30.980part about going to the city says thus i found myself in the same situation as all those emigrants
01:44:35.580who shake the dust of europe from their feet and with iron determination lay the foundations of a0.94
01:44:40.640new existence in the new world and earn for themselves a new home liberated from all the
01:44:46.020paralyzing prejudices of class and position environment and tradition they take any service
01:44:51.620that opens its doors to them um you know no work is too disgraceful it's a mistake to presume that
01:44:58.100the boy who leaves the countryside for the city is less solid than those who stay at home to work
01:45:04.100the land. On the contrary, experience shows that those who are healthier and more vigorous emigrate
01:45:08.780and not the reverse. Among those people, I include not merely those who emigrate to America,
01:45:13.460but also the young rural farmhand who leaves his native village and migrates to the big city
01:45:18.100where he'll be a stranger. He's ready to take the risk of an uncertain fate. It says,
01:45:24.020During my struggle for existence in Vienna, I clearly perceived that the aim of all social activity must never be merely charitable relief, which is ridiculous and useless.
01:45:35.520Rather, it must be a means of finding a way to eliminate the fundamental deficiencies in our economic and cultural life.
02:06:55.500But, you know, if you put so much, so much stock into a leader who also doesn't have any children, there is no dynastic family of Hitler in that sense.
02:07:10.080Anyway, number 10, the movement steadfastly refuses to take any stand on questions that are either outside its political framework or that are not of fundamental importance and are therefore irrelevant.
02:07:22.000it doesn't aim at a religious reformation but rather a political reorganization of our people
02:07:27.760like don't get involved in stuff that's beyond your grasp you don't even need to have an opinion0.98
02:07:32.760on that shit if you're a political organization you don't need to have a an opinion on the0.94
02:07:37.900reformation of any religion you know just stay out of it right number 11 the question of the0.99
02:07:44.020inner organization of the movement isn't one of principle but of expediency the best kind of
02:07:49.700organization isn't that which places the largest intermediary apparatus between the leadership
02:07:54.880of the movement and the individual followers but rather the smallest i mean he's talking about a
02:07:59.760startup mentality here he's like saying don't become bloated don't become bureaucratic
02:08:03.620be lean and agile number 12 the future of a movement is determined by the devotion
02:08:10.340even intolerance with which its members fight convinced of their correctness they must carry
02:08:16.140through to success against other similar organizations it's a great error to believe
02:08:22.500that the strength of a movement increases if it's combined with other similar movements now when i
02:08:28.200read that like a light bulb went off my head i'm like because that's so counterintuitive to the
02:08:32.440way we do things right in our in the distant right whatever this thing of ours is called
02:08:37.760the the thing we say is like never punch right never punch anyone's on your side we need to0.98
02:08:43.320combine into one mass amalgamation he's saying no fuck you should be fighting yourselves even0.98
02:08:49.100harder there should be one way destroy them yeah because that's something that i never understood0.98
02:08:53.780why it's as if it's as if people think if we if we punch right and we destroy a neighboring movement
02:08:59.420that all of those guys what become liberals do they die no they join you because their leader0.99
02:09:04.960was weak and stupid and he's out of the picture and 99 of them are now on your side that's how0.99
02:09:10.220this works like i thought we're supposed to believe in in like the warlike nature of real1.00
02:09:14.920politics like come on come on man yeah like we're so that's one big criticism i make against our
02:09:20.660sides like we're always so desperate to make friends yeah you know he said a movement can
02:09:25.360become great only by the unhampered development of its own internal strength and by its steady
02:09:31.460growth leading up to a final victory over its competitors yeah because it like think of it
02:09:37.080like a company even like it's internal growth and strength it's not just like i've worked at an
02:09:42.800organization that tried to do this guys i worked at a startup google did this as well a lot of
02:09:47.740startups did this where it's like i'm just going to absorb my competitors my growth strategy is to0.67
02:09:52.240buy my competitors and man it leads it's a fucking nightmare internally it ends up with everyone0.89
02:09:58.760fired anyway like you might as well have destroyed those organizations because all you did was0.98
02:10:02.960absorb them and then fire all of them and now they actually are unemployed that's if you absorb0.90
02:10:08.560these organizations you tend to cast them out then they fucking do become liberals but if you just0.95
02:10:12.820defeat them then they might come over you know but these brokering of deals don't lead anywhere0.88
02:10:18.920anyway number 13 the movement must educate its adherence about the principles that struggle
02:10:24.400isn't to be considered a necessary evil but rather as desired in itself therefore they must not fear
02:10:31.820the hostility of their adversaries but they must take it as a necessary condition for their whole0.85
02:10:38.140right to existence every jewish slander and every jewish lie is a scar of honor on the bodies of0.87
02:10:44.200our warriors isn't that a statement last one number 14 the movement must use all possible
02:10:50.580means to cultivate respect for the individual personality now when people think about the
02:10:56.140national socialists they think oh this is a collectivist movement like the communist who
02:10:59.840wants to annihilate you know the power of the individual quite the opposite it must never it
02:11:06.300must never forget that all human values are based on personal values and that every idea is achieved
02:11:11.840every idea and achievement is the fruit of the creative power of one man admiration for everything
02:11:18.620great is a tribute to one creative personality and all those who feel such admiration become
02:11:23.980thereby united nothing can take the place of the individual this is especially true when the
02:11:29.980individual embodies in himself not the mechanical but the creative and cultural element all right so
02:11:35.100i know we gotta get going out that's i just wanted to finish on that that's the 14 points of the nsdap
02:11:40.720and as you're listening or you're reading along with it like does that not sound reasonable does
02:11:47.840that not sound like something you could action currently and that does not mean you need to
02:11:54.020model it exactly after the nsdap many have tried but there's a lot of wisdom in this book especially
02:11:59.900the stuff i didn't get to which is like he goes into detail about it here's what the first meetings
02:12:04.880were like here's the problems we ran into we ran no one came to the first few meetings what did we
02:12:09.660do well we started you know what we did we took out an ad in the paper and then we started then
02:12:14.680we got like 10 people to show up and then it's so much in there like in just in terms of like
02:12:19.900nuts and bolts and i'm so mad after having read it at the current crop of quote-unquote nazis
02:12:26.960for only ever representing to me up until that point swastikas armbands and anti-semitism
02:12:34.240like in none of the actual good stuff it's all it's an amazing book it's all in there
02:12:41.440Everyone wants to adopt the kitsch and the iconography, and people can defend the swastika as an Indo-European symbol.
02:27:15.500However, he is very recently anti-woke.
02:27:18.700A lot of these people arrived at anti-wokeness late in the game at the 11th hour, just as it was becoming, I would argue, pretty unpopular, especially the trans issue.
02:27:28.060It is becoming unpopular over here, at least.
02:27:30.640And so what you have to understand about how Silicon Valley startup guys think is they think a lot like venture capitalists think because that relationship works hand in glove.
02:28:32.940I would be very interested to see.1.00
02:28:34.540I'm not holding out hope that this will happen, but I'm interested to see if Elon Musk will ever openly say that Indian tech workers have ruined Silicon Valley, that he cannot, because it's true.1.00
02:28:45.380If you've ever worked in a startup, if you've ever farmed out programming to a lot of these Indian firms, they do shoddy work and it's, you have to add your way.1.00
02:28:54.160And I'm, it's, it's something that's discussed in a hushed terms, but I'd be curious to see1.00
02:28:59.980if he actually just says we need to hire white Americans because I can't make rockets.
02:29:05.000Otherwise he might not, but that would be interesting.
02:29:07.640And the case of Elon in particular with the, the woke thing, he, he, Elon's kind of like
02:29:14.840a, like a lodestar for, for Silicon Valley.
02:29:17.320Like, like if you're a young aspiring tech bro, it's almost impossible for you.
02:29:22.260You have to be you have to be subjected to a relentless propaganda campaign for a very long time to beat the Elon admiration out of you.
02:29:31.980And then even and even then it doesn't always work. So he's his anti-wokeness also came from his personal experience.
02:29:39.280So it's to him. It's not a it's not an ideological like, oh, this is I rationalize my way to this or this was offensive to my sensibilities because it's against, you know, principles of truth and beauty and goodness.
02:29:51.140and like he's sympathetic to those things if someone presents it to him but for him it's
02:29:55.860this happened to me personally my child was subverted by this he spoke about it as his
02:30:01.140child is dead and was killed by wokeness he's a lot like pete kiones in that sense because pete
02:30:07.220kiones was formerly a liberal pete kiones both a good friend of ours but he was formerly a
02:30:12.980libertarian and then he was drop kicked by the realizations of the situation and over time
02:30:18.740He's gotten drop kicked further and further to the right.
02:30:23.140It's not like he was reading The Daily Storm, or it's not like he was reading any of, he's not subbing to our podcasts.0.97
02:30:29.200He just had his son turn into a transgender hostile entity, and then he got snapped out of it.0.62
02:30:37.640And so that transition we're seeing of Elon Musk is probably what's happening to a lot of men who are unplugged from our political discourse.0.99
02:30:48.740I'll add on that as well that you mentioned them being, many of them actually are venture
02:30:54.460capitalists or have been founders or they've lived in that world for a long time, which
02:30:58.200means number one, they have a healthy appreciation for the value of competent executive power.
02:31:04.000And when they look at the government, they're not necessarily looking at the state of the
02:31:07.940current regime in terms of, or at least they haven't been, it seems like they're getting
02:31:11.860pushed in that direction more and more, but they haven't been looking at it in terms of
02:31:15.360this is a satanic evil organization that is hell bent on destroying all that
02:40:31.240He says, I think we're in an age where nuclear deterrent is actually less effective because the West is very unlikely to use anything like a nuclear bomb, whereas our adversaries might.
02:40:41.000Mr. Karp says we're very close to Terminator robots and a threshold of somewhat autonomous drones and devices like this being used and the most important instruments of war.
02:40:51.540You already see that in Ukraine, he says.
02:40:54.340He said he would support a class-based affirmative action and declared himself pro-draft.
02:40:59.500So when people ask, what are the global implications of this?
02:41:04.260And this is back to Zoop's point that they work hand in glove with the military industrial complex.
02:41:10.220They are the ones dreaming up the Terminator style drones of the future.
02:41:15.520Also, and that I think governs, like you said, they just want to grill.0.92
02:41:19.180Well, their grilling is transhumanism.
02:41:22.220Their grilling is creating nanobots that can swarm you and take you apart out on a molecular level.
02:41:28.180And Matt made a good point where he said they're not necessarily neocons because, you know, just because they're in favor of war. I mean, my contention is no one is actually really anti-war except maybe Ryan Dawson. But most people, they say they're anti-war. They're not. Every liberal was anti-war until the war in Ukraine. You know, everyone's anti-war until they find their war, which is a righteous war.
02:41:51.080But very few people are actually anti-war as such.
02:41:55.080So, you know, that, that, that would not classify them as neocons.
02:41:58.620They just said correctly, I might add correctly, and I get in a lot of trouble
02:42:01.960for this, but correctly identified China as a hostile actor.
02:42:05.060A lot of people on our side don't like that, but you know, China's not our0.69
02:42:08.960friend and I live in Canada, which has been subverted very thoroughly by the
02:42:13.220Chinese communist party, but we won't get into that.
02:42:15.860But that was just to show sort of when we talk about their ideology and their beliefs versus what they actually want to do, sure, they work with the military industrial complex, they work with politicians, but the future that they are progressing to, the technological singularity that they want to bring about exists in their dreams.
02:42:36.380So when they talk about, you know, they'll play politics all they want in the interest of taking humanity, and they'll use that word humanity, into space or rework themselves on the genetic level into something more human because they don't really have any other values outside of aggressive technological development, which they think is the only way to save humanity.
02:43:00.820And that governs most of their actions, I believe.
02:43:03.780basically just a different or more competent flavor of technocrats.
02:43:09.220Yeah, they're technocrats with the ambition to say,
02:43:11.840well, why don't we try and live forever?
02:43:13.560You know, I mentioned this on our show.
02:43:15.880I work in marketing, and many years ago,
02:43:18.220I had a client who was, they were, let's just say,
02:54:00.460Because my thing was in our space, in Canada especially, there's a lot of talk of exodus, leaving Canada, going usually to South America, someplace that's cheaper because everything is so prohibitively expensive here.1.00
02:54:13.060But at the end of the day, you have to keep thinking, well, I'm going to spend my life an immigrant.
02:54:47.540I live in Texas now, and I moved here from I lived on the West Coast for all my life before this, which I never really appreciated just how stunningly gorgeous the scenery and the weather, with the exception of Western Washington.
02:55:02.640The rain in Seattle is a real thing. But otherwise, the West Coast is just such a beautiful part of the country, a beautiful part of the world, really.
02:55:10.240and uh uh moving to texas has been yeah there's definitely there's reasons why i moved here but
02:55:16.040i can understand why someone especially someone who is from the like the german climate why they
02:55:20.580would not be very fond of texas even though it'd be funny if they left because the portion sizes
02:55:25.200the area where i lived here in south central texas has actually got a bunch of really old
02:55:31.420german settlements in it uh a town not far from me is new bronfels and then um there's one called
02:55:37.880of course all the the texans butcher the pronunciations there's one it's spelled g-r-u
02:55:42.620g-r-u-e-n-e and uh everyone here calls it green um whereas my assumption is the german
02:55:50.400pronunciation is something more like green and then uh there's also bernie which is b-o-e-r-n-e
02:55:56.360um so there's a lot of old german settlements in this area so uh it would be a place that if
02:56:01.720Germans were willing to tolerate the the just it's the weather here is probably comparable to
02:56:07.640i don't know like egypt yeah yeah i went to austin texas like a month ago and it was i didn't know
02:56:14.900this it was during a heat wave and i was my eyes were burning with sweat and then i'm like trying
02:56:22.840to tough it out because i want to get some barbecue and i'm thinking the austonians deal
02:56:28.220with this every single day tough and then i talked to a couple friends they're like no0.98
02:58:17.020And I believe the center of that empire is probably going to be in Texas.
02:58:20.500If I could just say one thing before, Willem Jensen, I was talking to my friend Ted in the chat the other day, and a common meme in our space is the West has fallen.
02:58:29.260And some people really believe that the American empire has fallen.
02:58:31.400I said, no, the West hasn't fallen.0.61
02:59:40.000there's one thing i just wanted to talk about uh and this kind of builds off of matt's point um
02:59:46.040i didn't know if i was going to shoehorn this in but uh one of the things i think he mentioned was
02:59:51.620these this group believes in its own ends and it kind of believes in infinite growth it kind of
02:59:57.160believes that the american empire as a bureaucratic state and when you say america a lot of people
03:00:03.020think white christian no patriots that's what they think of america they think of the people
03:00:08.440They view America just as a political entity, as a system. And one of the economic models that undergirds their beliefs is called modern monetary theory. So a lot of what defines their ideology is infinite growth. If you proceed fast enough and aggressive enough, you can grow forever. And that's what modern monetary theory is.
03:00:32.060I'm not saying this is the model I think works, although it does seem to explain reality.
03:00:37.940And this, I won't go into a whole economic discussion, but it's what modern monetary theory emerges from is the decoupling of the dollar from the gold standard and the fall of the Bretton Woods system, meaning that it's more like creditism.
03:00:51.700um you can the the basic idea is if you put enough capital into industries that are set
03:00:59.960to absorb capital it won't cause inflation whereas you know for example my co-host judas
03:01:04.920he says any uh money printing whatsoever credit releasing anything that's introduced into the
03:01:10.880system creates inflation no matter what on a long enough timeline they believe that
03:01:14.060you know what we can kind of create infinite credit if we just put that credit into like
03:01:19.880four key industries. Those key industries would be, let me see if I remember, it's artificial
03:01:24.380intelligence, quantum computing, space exploration, and renewable energy. Those are the four main
03:01:30.740ones. Just the current MacGuffins. There's some truth to it in the sense that during COVID,
03:01:39.080they did create like a trillion dollars of credit very quickly, and it was not through taxes. That's
03:01:44.780kind of the underpinning of modern monetary theory, is that the government doesn't make
03:01:49.240money through its taxes. Taxes are just what it uses to control spending, just like interest
03:01:54.760rates. You use it to control people, but it doesn't raise revenue really. It can make money
03:01:59.760for whatever it wants. And if you are familiar with the military industrial complex, you will
03:02:05.160understand that there's no shortage of money or capital for the stuff that they want. COVID was
03:02:10.600an interesting example because they created something to the tune of like a trillion dollars
03:02:14.780within a month, um, then release that all over the place. And it hasn't, it caused some inflation,
03:02:21.060but not the level that a trillion dollars should cause. So like there's something there and
03:02:26.700there's something to the idea that if, but that's what they're believing. They believe like, you
03:02:31.880know what, if we can just get our hands over the spigots and what's a spigot, it's just a thing
03:02:36.080you turn to release the water, right? So if we could just open the spigot and close it over the
03:02:41.760welfare state a lot of people on our side like that but open it over tech development then we can0.97
03:02:47.860grow the american empire forever into space throughout the galaxy this is what they say
03:02:52.560you can read look up the tech uh the tech optimist manifesto by mark andreessen and he sorry for me
03:03:00.940for me it sounds like uh yeah rewarding friends and punishing enemies but with a different paint
03:03:07.000of code uh code of paint so yeah and that's what they believe so they think that you know they
03:03:12.060believe that there can be a forever america if america is just sort of a libertarian model you
03:03:18.980know i mean like the thing they believe is very specific it doesn't really fit into our definitions
03:03:24.560but what they're hoping for is that they can just get as much capital as they want to do the things
03:03:30.120that they want. And they're not necessarily wrong because we are involved in a tech race with
03:03:37.520China and Russia with AI. That's the one you hear about. Renewable energy, that's more of a
03:03:44.260fucking money sink than anything. But they're hoping that there'll be some black box technology0.98
03:03:49.180they discover in the future. Quantum computing might be the most important one, I think, that
03:03:54.220they might be the closest to but they're thinking if we gain a monopoly on that then the world then
03:04:00.640then there will be a turbo america forever so i think we we now have a good picture about what
03:04:09.920these guys are and what they believe and uh what do you guys think is the main drawback for them
03:05:13.480I think they are optimistic to a fault, and I think they're dabbling in realities and tactics and beliefs that could cause suffering at the scale of which we haven't experienced before.
03:05:27.640And sorry, that's just my short answer there.0.98
03:05:30.180Yeah, I think that the transhumanism is the biggest drawback.1.00
03:05:34.560Their technology is ultimately revelatory of the humans that invent it and use it.1.00
03:05:40.780so it will it will reveal the good things and it'll also reveal the bad things and it's and
03:05:45.760it's also leverage so the things that it does reveal it will reveal uh with leverage so it'll
03:05:51.440amplify the the negative aspects of it so like like dimes is saying these guys are where the
03:05:59.440the regime that has ruled over us for you know somewhere between i don't know uh 30 and 80 years
03:06:06.040something along those lines depending on where you want to draw the line they it has been
03:06:10.980dedicated to the destruction of humanity um through let's say through through darkness
03:06:19.180the destruction of humanity the the openly anti-human uh elements whereas what these guys
03:06:26.720the world these guys would want to live in i would say would be like the libertarianism that
03:06:31.580is latent within them would be the uh like libertarian on the bad things there's some
03:06:36.560things that you should not be libertarian about the libertarians don't want to hear this but
03:06:40.440um there are things about the human spirit that should be trammeled that should not be unhinged
03:06:46.280and allowed to to flourish even in the name of prosperity or growth or you know there's there's
03:06:52.140truth to the necessity of um maintaining space for growth because if you if you uh close off
03:07:00.800that space. It's kind of like binding feet or, um, you know, having really low ceilings that
03:07:06.860you have to be ducked underneath all the time. That's going to have an, uh, a negative deleterious
03:07:10.960effect on your body. So you, you don't want to have, uh, restrictions from growth because it
03:07:16.360creates zero sum, uh, uh, situations where, uh, which is going to amplify war and strife and
03:07:22.500controversy. You want to have space for people to move into, but at the same time, you don't want
03:07:28.300growth just simply for the sake of growth. You don't want artificial growth. Human beings have
03:07:34.420limitations for a reason, and taking away all limitations is just as destructive as applying
03:07:40.620unnecessary or destructive limitations. There's a left-hand path and a right-hand path.
03:07:46.360So I think there's dimes you mentioned, them kind of pinning their hopes maybe on some sort
03:07:52.360of discovery of a technology that doesn't exist yet. And I think that they're even being used as
03:07:57.960a vector for existing technologies that just have not been released to the public they haven't been
03:08:03.500made commercially available but those sorts of there's been it's mostly been the terrain of of0.88
03:08:08.660you know the the um the the q types the the really crazy conspiracy theorists but there's enough0.94
03:08:15.400smoke now here where i think like the ufo phenomenon is a um it's not strictly it's not
03:08:21.860extraterrestrials it's something between demons and uh advanced military technology which that
03:08:27.500line gets pretty blurry but i think they become a take the floor on the 40k pill right yeah yeah
03:08:33.840so to me like i think if you take a if you take a a broad historical view you'll recognize that
03:08:40.500these are trends these aren't starting these these aren't trends that began in the last 80 years this
03:08:44.920sort of cycle of elites is not a new thing the the war between anti-human and transhuman and then
03:08:50.740trying to strike the balance between the two and not getting fully off into the right hand path
03:08:54.260of the left-hand path, taking the royal path, as the case may be. This is an age-old problem
03:08:59.480of humanity. We're in an era of apocalypse, an era of revelation, so it's being made really
03:09:05.360evident to us. But what we're seeing now is a cycle that has persisted throughout the entire
03:09:11.720history of humanity, constantly warring back and forth between these two extremes. And I suppose
03:09:17.080what that calls for us is to be radical centrists and not be anti-human or transhuman.
03:09:22.300There's a lot of questions in the chat asking if we're going to talk about Jews or if this is about Jews.
03:09:30.420I mean, you know, the PayPal mafia is like they are mixed, let's say, you know.1.00
03:09:37.920But what I always noticed, even with Yavin, he always like even though he notices all the problems
03:09:49.200and has some interesting solutions all solutions in the end from his perspective say yeah let's
03:09:56.320just put my friends and my tribe into power but but the good guys this time you know trust trust
03:10:02.320us this time and uh i mean i kind of see it in in there um um and what like this feeling of uh
03:10:15.760putting the tribe um into other places of power is however not as strong as in other movements like um
03:10:25.440so i i i don't really think it's just about this they're they're way more um it's it's way too
03:10:32.400complex and just to break it down uh on into this in this yeah instance yeah and also one you asked
03:10:39.280very early on in this what the likelihood is of them achieving control or influence versus the
03:10:46.360machine of the system. And one thing that we overlook often is the current elites in the
03:10:51.880form of the boomers, they are just dying. And there is a crop of younger psychos being cycled
03:10:58.520in. J.D. Vance might be an example. And not to say anyone needs to be a fan of J.D. Vance,
03:11:04.240But he very clearly is, you know, like if AJ Soprano became vice president, like he's, he's a guy who, you know, as a kid, baggy jeans, wallet chain, corn t-shirt, reads weird internet guys.
03:11:18.540He is us in a sense, but like, these are the types who are getting cycled in.
03:11:22.880So there, there is a generation of people that are just friendlier to these ideas.
03:11:27.860And that's something we didn't really address about what makes these attractive.
03:11:31.180what makes what the paypal mafia doing attractive to people because a lot of people like this
03:11:36.300um and i really think that just in a very simple way it's that they offer a positive vision that
03:11:43.180people can believe in even though i disagree that positive vision that they're out there
03:11:53.100is whatever you want it to be like they're selling fucking imagination dust out there0.92
03:11:58.460So for young people, especially, and I would apply this to Europe as well, what is there to animate the ambitions of young people? And I think that's why it's so popular. And it uniquely appeals to people of an aristocratic mind. And by that, I mean, you could say people who are not in the elite, but we are elitists. We're like the elite theory guys.0.95
03:12:20.200So there's a lot of people in the distant right who are kind of aristocratic or Nietzschean in their belief system. So they, they might even be to the outsiders be like white nationalists or something, but they hate most white people.0.94
03:12:33.080You see what I'm saying? There's a lot of these types who think, like Richard Spencer would be an example. He is an aristocratic mind. He would like this because it appeals to him, and he doesn't need to negotiate with the riffraff, with the underclass, as they see it. There's a lot of those guys right now.
03:12:51.320And they like this because it's like, oh, I can sidle up to the new elites and they'll make a place for me. And it will be alongside Jews. Probably that's what's in it for them. But it's like, oh, we'll take the aristocratics of the Jews and the aristocratics of the whites and then use the rest as fucking biodiesel. And that's a quote. That's a quote from Curtis Harvard. Use them as biodiesel. And it's also eugenic.0.97
03:13:16.000so like oh the aristocrat class the new nobility they're the ones who get to have 10 kids like0.99
03:13:21.620elon musk why are these billionaires having so many kids and cloning themselves and shit
03:13:25.640so like there's that element too that's why it appeals to certain types of people i think0.54
03:13:31.200i mean it is one of the only few appealing um positive visions out there so i guess uh
03:13:40.160like guys like us either have uh like they can either choose the threat cath path or uh use the
03:13:48.020or choose the um techno um futurist path so yeah remember a lot of these guys were pro transgenderism
03:13:56.500until 15 fucking minutes ago because transgenderism was oh we can use technology to become whatever we0.94
03:14:03.380want which is a very transhumanist type thing and then it was revealed that only only insane people0.98
03:14:08.900make mutants out of themselves with this they had to go retreat on that you know so especially the
03:14:14.500last point um that most of these people uh were like lefties 15 minutes ago uh same as uh mark
03:14:21.860uh zuckerberg or zuckerberg um he like he is one of the like iconic leftist figures um a few years
03:14:31.380ago uh and now he's sometimes uh included into the paypal mafia so like what changed had did he0.97
03:14:39.380change or anything or what happened he became a wigger like that's historically significant that0.93
03:14:45.300he became like the guy wearing a kangol hat and like a gold chain no but like it is like that was0.99
03:14:52.020to me and zuckerberg's kind of a autistic spurg like that he's just like here's my new look and0.87
03:15:06.360It looks like a white guy trying to be black.0.83
03:15:09.380But there was a sea change in all of them where I think they did admit that a lot of their beliefs, because if they were libertarian, they were not anti-progressive anything until recently.
03:15:20.220And, you know, I would encourage people to go watch the interview that Elon Musk did with Jordan Peterson.
03:15:30.200And it doesn't matter what you feel about Jordan Peterson.
03:25:59.820whether they're military interests or banking interests
03:26:02.240or nation state level interests, they're all fronts for that. So when Elon took over Twitter,
03:26:09.200you could see the downstream effect of it. And that was the intended downstream effect of it
03:26:13.140to really break the back of the regime and their narrative formation technology.
03:26:20.600So yeah, if I can just interject that there's this really interesting book I recommend people
03:26:24.800read. It's titled Neurotechnology in National Security and Defense. It's a book that collects
03:26:29.740a bunch of essays by a defense industry and think tank guys talking about the development
03:26:36.160of neurotechnology, that's neurotoxins and brain weapons, basically. Anyway, one of the essays
03:26:42.020makes a good point about how the reason these organizations and these companies by these
03:26:47.660individuals are so popular is because none of this technology can really be developed just by
03:26:53.320the state anymore. And they actually use drones as a great example, because you look at the internet,
03:26:57.520The internet was first developed through government funding, handled internally, then it was released to the public. And that's how things were done often in the past, developed by the government, then released. But drone technology is interesting because the government and private companies mastered drone technology at about the same time.
03:27:16.220Governments got their handle on drones about the same time we all did, and they realized that, well, we actually can't outpace private tech development ever, especially if they're multinational corporations.
03:27:27.100So the government, in relation to China and Russia and whoever else, has a very keen interest in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, all that stuff we talked about before.
03:31:47.180So for whatever that is, this isn't investment advice, but for whatever that's worth to you, if you want to see Bitcoin normalized, if you want to see it accepted as a means of exchange or a storage of value, if you want to see that happen, this is probably the way that that would come about.
03:32:07.460And I'll add to that, the big, what we're seeing now, we've got Kamala Harris from San Francisco, and then we've got J.D. Vance representing the PayPal mafia.
03:32:18.800So we're getting, all of American politics is becoming internecine San Francisco debates.
03:32:24.680But the big debate that's been happening within Silicon Valley culture that's now extending out to the federal government through the regulators and the opposition to the regulators,
03:32:35.520this is the thing that Mark Andreessen and Ben Horowitz have been talking about is with their
03:32:39.400little tech agenda. They see the quantum computing and AI front as an existential threat. This is a
03:32:48.060national security issue. The two sides of this, you have the EACs, the accelerationist side,
03:32:55.580and then you have the EAs, the effective altruist side, which would be represented by like the
03:32:59.760Eliezer, Yukowski, and the Sam Haltmans of the world. Their position is they're on the
03:33:05.500closed source AI side, which says we need to have strict regulations on AI development,
03:33:11.000because if we aren't careful, then we're going to manifest a Skynet god that's going to dominate us.
03:33:17.580And so we need regulatory capture to prevent that from happening. And then the other side
03:33:22.460of the debate, the accelerationist side says, no, we need open source everything, because the way
03:33:27.980that you actually get that Skynet god is through the closed source route that creates the regulatory
03:33:32.620capture that allows people to manufacture their Skynet bots and govern the rest of us with it.
03:33:42.100It's been a debate happening for probably 10 plus years among the rationalist and Californian
03:33:50.680ideology community. And it's broken out onto the national stage now because this then heavily
03:33:56.100implicates China. And then you get like Eric Prince making his statement about Africa. That's
03:34:01.020a that's a shot across the bow at china as well so there's china hawkishness is very much on the rise0.50
03:34:07.120for better or for worse and that's something that's motivating them as well so this these
03:34:11.360aren't just little little niche uh debates they are little niche debates but they're also little
03:34:17.060niche debates that that implicate national security issues at a really high level which
03:34:21.860then informs how existential they see these crises which then further informs how they
03:34:26.140want to react and respond to it and that does bring in europeans as well on the long run yeah
03:34:32.820because africa um the decolonization was just a sham at least in the case of france because france
03:34:40.460still um ran operations in nigeria and chad to get the uranium it's like the main reason that
03:34:49.320France has so many nuclear power plants
03:36:39.820Well, that's what's so interesting about that interview I told you about with Elon Musk, which is that you are correct and you're the most materialist wealthy, but also this was the problem experienced by the SaaS market, S-A-A-S, Software as a Service for people who don't know, that SaaS companies used to be the company that everyone wants to start in Silicon Valley, and now no one wants to start a fucking SaaS company.
03:37:03.860you know why is that because most of these companies were designed just to make tasks easier
03:37:08.420and then we did reach a peak where we've really automated and gig economy everything we cannot
03:37:16.200proceed any further everything is as easy as possible and that has not made the world better
03:37:21.020like has door dash really made the world a better place are people happier in uber eats world not
03:37:27.560I mean, I have a funny story about DoorDash or like the European equivalent.
03:37:32.580I know a story where two guys ordered and tried to raise Indians with these ads, you know?0.86
03:37:42.780Look, I am all for using advanced technology for gambling, especially gambling with slaves.
03:37:49.340However, but the point being that you do reach a peak where everyone's wealthier than their ancestors.
03:37:56.440And I had a friend in our chat named Pan European, and he made a fantastic point about the life of your average Britain in as recently as the 1950s.
03:38:09.760And he said the average life of a middle class person living in Britain was that his grandparents, they did not have indoor plumbing.
03:38:17.480It was actually fairly common for people living in England at that time to be living multi-generations in the same bed.0.98
03:38:26.180All that fucking Charlie and the Chocolate Factory stuff.0.99
03:38:28.540That was based on real fucking life.0.99
03:38:30.840So it wasn't that long ago that people were living pretty destitute lives.0.99
03:38:37.100So, you know, within three generations, they've climbed so far out of that.
03:38:44.360There might be people living right now who experience that.
03:38:46.980they probably are but are they happier with all this extra material wealth with all the extra0.98
03:38:51.880beds with the indoor plumbing with the set with with door dash and all that shit like are they0.95
03:38:57.120happier no and that is what caused guys like elon musk to say like well then what else and they0.98
03:39:03.040turn to vague spirituality they turn to a rationalist conceptualization of christianity
03:39:09.180they're just trying to grasp at spirituality because it turns out the mechanization and the
03:39:15.020you know the we have everything we need and we're more miserable than ever so it must be this thing
03:39:19.900called spirituality but i don't think they know how to grasp that yet but that's their that's what
03:39:24.380they're used that's what they're going after right now and i would say that our ultimately
03:39:28.900that's our responsibility um they like yeah it'd be nice if we had leaders who were going to
03:39:35.100work toward the the um spiritual uplifting of our communities but if those leaders don't exist you
03:39:41.620you have a choice you can either try to lambast the ones you have into doing that or you can just
03:39:45.860do start doing it yourself in this particular case we happen to have these guys who are um
03:39:52.660if not well i i know for a fact i know this like confirmed fact that some of them are explicitly
03:39:59.540listening to us and our guys they are listeners to our podcast they're listening to our circle
03:40:04.020of the internet and drawing ideas and inspiration from us um but even even when they aren't they're
03:40:10.660at least like i said before they're at least um not hostile to us and maybe even sympathetic to us
03:40:16.200and willing to accept our influence they see us as i don't know they see us as human beings they
03:40:22.700don't see us as uh on as an enemy to be obliterated like the enemy that they're going after
03:40:29.220right now so it gives us a the way i've said this from the very beginning is there is no trust the
03:40:33.820plan there is we're being given space to create our own plan there we have the opportunity now to
03:40:42.260to create a uh my friend jason from the two-bit podcast talks about the build a caesar phenomenon
03:40:47.720and you see this with guys like malay or geert builders or or bukele is the most successful
03:40:52.620example each of these guys in their own domain they can be completely paused on everything else
03:40:58.240but if there's one particular domain that they absolutely master in a in a cesarean sense like
03:41:03.800Like for Malay, it might be inflation and the cost of housing.0.81
03:41:06.720For Bukele, it's crime and then maybe going to be crypto.0.99
03:41:09.860For Wilders, it was like environmentalism sort of.
03:41:12.440But like with each of these guys, if they master a particular domain, they become a microcosm of a Caesar that a larger Caesar can then draw from, use them as a precedent, use them as an example.
03:41:24.460And I think this flows in both directions.
03:41:26.960In the same way that the Build-A-Caesar thing can happen at a nation-state level, it also happens at the local level.
03:41:34.020So if each individual guy begins acting as Caesar over his own domain, embodying that authoritarian, strong executive power, strong masculine energy, enforcing his will on his surroundings,
03:41:47.220and then begins building networks of competent men who are doing the same thing,
03:41:53.000this will actually serve the purpose of manifesting those types of Caesar-like leaders,
03:41:59.000the guy who's going to come grab the bull by the horns and enforce his will upon the world on a global stage.
03:42:04.940Those types of guys are going to exist no matter what we do.
03:42:09.280The composition of that man, the things he's motivated by, the things he drives towards
03:42:15.140will be informed by what we do now on the micro scale
03:42:19.700and the way that we can network and cooperate together
03:42:22.880to begin manifesting these values up the chain,
