00:00:00.000 I wanted to add some color to, like, the Plan B thing.
00:00:02.840 And there's so many things in our society now where we think that biologically we're the same as, like, our grandparents were.
00:00:08.280 But, you know, sperm rates have dropped by something like over 50% in the last 51 years.
00:00:13.240 Testosterone's dropped something like 30% in the last 20 years.
00:00:16.620 You know, Simone, if you want to talk about the TIDE studies.
00:00:19.420 Yeah, I'm not really sure if you're familiar with them.
00:00:21.320 TIDES, basically a bunch of longitudinal researchers, looked at the levels of endocrine disruptors in women who are pregnant first trimester.
00:00:30.300 And then they measured a bunch of things with the children they had afterwards.
00:00:33.240 It turns out that, especially when they were pregnant with boys, they were disproportionately affected by endocrine disruptors,
00:00:38.180 which are in everything from, like, receipts we're picking up to our shampoo to our lotion, plastic in our water bottles, etc.
00:00:44.840 And in addition to boys being born with lower, what's called anal genital distance taint,
00:00:51.320 when they were age 7, 8, they had lower, we'll say gender dimorphic, lower boy-like play.
00:00:57.640 So they were actually acting less like boys when they were older.
00:01:00.300 So we're seeing a whole generation of young men who've been affected, essentially, by pollutants in our environment,
00:01:05.300 who knows how else this is showing up, probably infertility things like Malcolm alluded to.
00:01:09.980 But, you know, I think that this should be reframed.
00:01:12.000 It's not about owing.
00:01:13.100 It's also we have to look at who deserves the future, because those who show up for the future are those who inherit it.
00:01:18.340 That's, you know, society is built by those who show up.
00:01:20.500 And those women and men who choose to have families and who choose to raise kids are those who deserve the future.
00:01:26.340 And we are here because people who deserved the future chose to represent themselves in it.
00:01:30.600 So, sorry, sorry, sorry to interrupt.
00:01:32.320 What do you mean by deserve?
00:01:33.660 Who are you to tell me I deserve a future?
00:01:36.660 We deserve what we get.
00:01:37.660 No, but who are you to tell me from your fairy? 1.00
00:01:39.620 I'm not telling you anything.
00:01:40.940 It sounds like you may not want the future.
00:01:43.720 No, no, no, no, no.
00:01:44.520 I'm asking you a question.
00:01:45.740 Listen, from your fairies and what you're saying to me, you're telling me that certain people from the aspects of life, they don't deserve a future. 0.99
00:01:55.980 Who are you to tell me that?
00:01:57.600 We're simply telling you you won't be in the future.
00:01:59.200 No, I wasn't asking you, my friend.
00:02:00.920 I was asking your missus.
00:02:02.300 I want to know her aspects.
00:02:04.080 I'm not asking you, my brother.
00:02:05.520 I'm asking you, my sister, so I can understand women on a global aspect. 0.95
00:02:11.380 What do you mean by that?
00:02:12.540 Well, he and I are the same person, essentially.
00:02:14.080 I understand that, but I'm not associating you two as the same person.
00:02:20.000 So, you have to respect that as me because you're a woman and he's a man.
00:02:23.920 I think you're kind of moving the goalpost.
00:02:26.180 He answered your question.
00:02:27.580 He didn't.
00:02:28.140 He didn't.
00:02:28.740 She didn't.
00:02:29.800 He didn't, pal.
00:02:30.840 Because you're telling me certain aspects, but I want to know where.
00:02:33.760 Okay, the people that deserve the future are the ones that have kids.
00:02:37.260 Why?
00:02:37.620 Why?
00:02:38.100 Why do you believe that?
00:02:39.320 Because no one else will be.
00:02:40.760 Why do you believe that?
00:02:42.240 Because I'm going to answer.
00:02:43.000 Because no one else will be there.
00:02:45.120 But God give you free will.
00:02:47.000 We know.
00:02:47.960 Are you a robot of God?
00:02:51.060 But we live in a land that is obliged by the Magna Carta, the God's law.
00:02:57.760 We're in England right now.
00:02:59.780 I want to see where this goes.
00:03:01.040 It's not what I'm talking about.
00:03:02.180 It's just the law of the land that I'm trying to live by.
00:03:05.180 Okay.
00:03:06.300 So if you all believe in certain things, how can that resonate with me?
00:03:10.780 Okay, okay.
00:03:11.520 Do you deserve a job if you don't get it?
00:03:14.740 I'll create my own job.
00:03:16.100 No.
00:03:16.640 I'm self-employed.
00:03:17.700 Okay, okay.
00:03:18.440 I'm self-employed.
00:03:18.900 Do you deserve a job if you don't get the job?
00:03:21.340 What do you mean?
00:03:22.040 Elaborate.
00:03:22.760 It's a pretty simple question.
00:03:23.860 It's not.
00:03:24.320 It's not.
00:03:24.540 It's very simple.
00:03:25.720 Do you deserve a job if you apply for a job and you don't get that job?
00:03:29.860 If you meet the credentials.
00:03:31.540 Do you deserve a job if you don't get the job?
00:03:33.420 Or if your credentials meet the credentials.
00:03:34.540 Please, yes or no.
00:03:35.640 Do you deserve a job?
00:03:36.580 Do you deserve a job?
00:03:37.820 Do you deserve a job?
00:03:38.680 If your credentials meet the credentials of the job.
00:03:40.940 Yes, you do deserve the job.
00:03:42.200 Why would you deserve it if you didn't get it?
00:03:46.840 It's your decision.
00:03:47.720 But see, that's entitlement.
00:03:48.720 It's your choice.
00:03:49.600 And that's why I said God gave you free will.
00:03:51.900 So just like if I go for a job like me and my brother next to me and we have the same characteristics
00:03:57.900 and the same qualifications, it's for you to decide who you want to take that position.
00:04:03.860 What two people have the same characteristics?
00:04:07.620 There's a lot of people.
00:04:09.320 There's a lot of people that go for the same job, that come from the same area, that have
00:04:14.020 the same characteristics.
00:04:15.080 Because the majority of the characteristics we have.
00:04:18.140 The exact same characteristics.
00:04:20.340 No, similar characteristics.
00:04:21.980 Okay, but one would be.
00:04:23.760 But it's not characteristics that get you the job, doesn't it?
00:04:26.980 It's your.
00:04:28.320 I would hire the guy in a nicer suit just because he showed up ready and professional.
00:04:32.120 Okay.
00:04:32.380 That's my take on it.
00:04:33.140 So you hire me then, right?
00:04:35.300 It's me, so I'll get the job.
00:04:37.100 Yeah.
00:04:37.560 Okay.
00:04:38.060 But away from getting the job, it's what your core foundations are and what you believe
00:04:44.540 in.
00:04:44.720 Can I talk to your point?
00:04:48.340 I thought it was really interesting what he said is that dysporic populations tend to
00:04:52.540 be overrepresented in the population because they have more kids.
00:04:55.000 And there's a really interesting thesis behind that, right?
00:04:58.420 Because look at a lot of the problems we have with society today can be distilled down to
00:05:03.180 one variable.
00:05:03.820 I'll tell you what the variable is, but let me build up to it, right?
00:05:06.020 We say, oh, we have too much carbon, and that comes back to too much people.
00:05:10.200 We have too much consumption of meat, and that comes back to too many people eating meat.
00:05:13.920 Let's feed them bugs. 1.00
00:05:14.740 We have too many kids.
00:05:16.660 Let's give everybody birth control. 1.00
00:05:18.200 Everything comes back to humans are the problem.
00:05:21.280 And that's what we see in the big cities.
00:05:24.060 But the populations he's talking about, they're not saying humans are the problem.
00:05:27.800 They're saying humans are the point.
00:05:30.640 So why are we?
00:05:31.840 So it's like, and this goes back to the issue of like, do I owe anything to anyone, right?
00:05:35.560 Exactly.
00:05:35.860 And I was kind of thinking about it this morning, like, you know, we all serve somebody or something.
00:05:41.240 Maybe you serve God.
00:05:42.200 Maybe you serve your boss, your spouse. 0.59
00:05:43.700 Maybe you just serve yourself.
00:05:45.160 Fine.
00:05:45.900 You know, we're going to go from Ayn Rand all the way to the most, you know, theological views.
00:05:50.140 We all serve somebody.
00:05:51.040 But servitude without gratitude is resentment.
00:05:53.320 Fact.
00:05:53.460 And so the point to me is like, it's like, I don't owe anybody anything.
00:05:56.500 And I look at it and I think like, well, you probably owe your tailor a little bit because he's making you look sharp, doesn't he?
00:06:02.500 Is that not fair?
00:06:03.300 You probably owe Pearl.
00:06:05.040 Hang on.
00:06:05.520 You probably owe Pearl for giving you this platform to talk to the world and share your views.
00:06:08.920 Gratitude is gratitude.
00:06:10.980 Gratitude is gratitude.
00:06:12.020 I just wanted to say.
00:06:12.860 Hold on, brother.
00:06:13.440 Sure.
00:06:13.800 Hold on, brother.
00:06:15.200 Pick your words.
00:06:17.720 Really pick your words specifically.
00:06:20.200 English literature is a dangerous thing.
00:06:21.680 You're telling me, oh, I don't owe no one nothing.
00:06:25.960 You're telling me to give gratitude.
00:06:27.820 Gratitude is different because you need owing someone.
00:06:30.740 I postulate the gratitude and debt.
00:06:33.840 Gratitude and debt.
00:06:35.680 Like, owing, this means I'm obliged to pay you something.
00:06:38.420 And I'm not obliged.
00:06:39.340 I think you owe a lot of people.
00:06:41.440 Like, I think you owe your community something.
00:06:43.700 Why?
00:06:44.400 Why?
00:06:45.060 Because society is better when you're selfless and it's not a me, me, me culture.
00:06:49.540 What is society, Pearl?
00:06:50.540 Do you owe anything to yourself?
00:06:52.820 Do you owe anything to yourself?
00:06:53.740 No, I don't think to myself.
00:06:54.860 I'm a very spiritual person.
00:06:56.940 I go to church every Saturday and I pray and I give homage to my ancestors and my forefathers.
00:07:03.840 But what do I owe anyone?
00:07:06.420 Be careful what you're talking about and what you're saying.
00:07:09.880 I do not owe anyone nothing.
00:07:12.220 Do you owe God something, right?
00:07:14.360 Okay.
00:07:15.320 Yeah.
00:07:15.500 That's something different from a being.
00:07:18.840 Yes, it is.
00:07:19.400 It isn't.
00:07:20.040 Yeah, it is.
00:07:20.500 Because God is the Elohim. 0.98
00:07:21.820 Don't tell me what my perspective is on life.
00:07:25.080 I'm not talking about humanity.
00:07:27.680 I'm talking about myself.
00:07:29.140 Timmy Grant.
00:07:29.600 I'm going to let him go.
00:07:31.900 Go ahead.
00:07:32.120 Yeah, I think that we can say like, okay, who deserves to be in the future?
00:07:36.300 And I think that that's even the wrong question.
00:07:37.700 Who is going to be in the future?
00:07:39.880 God gave us one of the most beautiful gifts.
00:07:42.480 We can't just decide not to die.
00:07:44.460 The greatest gift he gave us or one of the greatest is death.
00:07:47.260 And it's one of the greatest gifts he gave us in this intergenerational cycle we get to
00:07:51.700 be a part of because I get to look everywhere in the world and find anyone I want to, like
00:07:56.540 the best person I want to, to mix my genes with, to fix my flaws.
00:08:00.260 And then I get to give the next iteration of myself any childhood I want to, the best
00:08:04.880 childhood I can imagine for them.
00:08:06.280 And then on top of all that, I get to tell them what I believe.
00:08:09.880 And the most beautiful thing is they can say, no, you believe that because of some prejudice
00:08:14.440 due to when you were growing up or some bias due to your childhood, the slate gets wiped
00:08:19.100 clean and they can improve upon me in a way that I could never improve upon myself.
