00:00:00.000 Marx and Freud, Jung and Solzhenitsyn.
00:00:10.580 This is a video about the most dangerous question.
00:00:16.940 Not just dangerous to pose, but dangerous to answer incorrectly,
00:00:25.680 or to answer with the wrong methodology.
00:00:30.000 This is a question that Jordan Peterson won't even ask,
00:00:36.340 even though his two greatest influences answered it successfully.
00:00:45.100 This is a video about how we can answer the question correctly
00:00:50.680 so that it does not damn us as it has damned so many.
00:00:55.340 Because if you don't answer this question with the right process,
00:01:00.000 you become that which you despise.
00:01:03.940 So let's talk about these two men, Marx and Freud,
00:01:09.580 and why they are so damn significant.
00:01:12.900 Well, I believe it was Ryan Falk who first quipped that we are all Marxists these days.
00:01:24.180 You know, it's one thing to point at the horrors of the last century.
00:01:28.160 I mean, those horrors are over. 0.99
00:01:30.440 It's another thing to point to the deluded fools that still follow that madman. 0.99
00:01:36.180 Again, they tend not to get too high up in the rungs of power. 0.98
00:01:42.220 And you could argue that certain organizations, you know, possibly the EU, possibly the UN,
00:01:48.620 they're influenced by Marx.
00:01:50.100 But that's not what concerns me about Marx.
00:01:53.060 That's not what terrifies me about Marx.
00:01:56.020 What terrifies me is that we're all Marxists these days.
00:02:03.900 Go back two centuries and take a person at random.
00:02:09.780 They did not consider themselves part of the proletariat or part of the working class or part of the capitalist class.
00:02:19.240 No, if you asked them who they were, how they identified themselves,
00:02:23.020 they'd say, well, I'm an Englishman and I'm a Londoner and I'm an Anglican.
00:02:28.140 Their definition of their personhood was based upon the network of relationships that they had.
00:02:41.940 These days, these days our definition of ourselves stems first and foremost from the group which we are a part of,
00:02:54.080 the demographic, the interest group.
00:02:58.140 We divide ourselves along economic lines.
00:03:03.660 We divide ourselves along racial lines, along sexual lines.
00:03:11.740 And everybody is in competition with everybody else.
00:03:16.900 Rather than working as part of an organic nation state,
00:03:20.840 as an organic whole of one people and one culture,
00:03:24.760 instead, we fight against the people of our own nations. 0.96
00:03:30.120 We struggle against them to try and have one over them.
00:03:36.280 Marx absolutely dominates modern thinking.
00:03:43.140 Freud.
00:03:43.860 Now, if you talk to a psychologist,
00:03:48.880 your typical psychologist will say, oh, we don't follow Freud anymore.
00:03:52.460 We discounted him. 0.92
00:03:53.700 He's dustbin of history. 0.67
00:04:01.380 Well, first of all, that's a lie. 0.60
00:04:05.880 Psychology was reinvented in the 40s.
00:04:09.960 And when it was reinvented,
00:04:13.320 they dismissed a couple of the far-out-there theories that Freud had,
00:04:19.360 but they kept 90% of it.
00:04:25.640 They kept the same cake.
00:04:27.420 They just changed the icing.
00:04:29.360 And they said, oh, no, it's not Freud anymore.
00:04:32.060 So, yeah, psychology is still Freudian psychology.
00:04:39.780 It's just that they no longer suspect
00:04:41.600 that all men want to sleep with their mothers and daughters, 0.98
00:04:45.340 electric complex, etc.
00:04:47.420 They've kind of dismissed those weird parts of Freud.
00:04:51.600 But it's not the psychologists that really worry me.
00:04:55.600 Quite frankly, psychologists can't even make up their mind.
00:04:57.880 They change what everything is in each new DSM.
00:04:59.960 No, what worries me is Freud's nephew Bernays.
00:05:12.520 The science of propaganda and marketing.
00:05:17.200 Now, it's interesting to note, you know, we're talking about Marx,
00:05:20.160 how we're all Marxists,
00:05:21.100 how we're all defined by income, race, sex, etc.,
00:05:26.960 before we're defined by who our people are,
00:05:31.780 who are, what our nation is.
00:05:40.320 What do Bernays do?
00:05:42.800 Bernays broke people down into lifestyles.
00:05:46.380 So, you've got the surfers, and you've got the punks,
00:05:51.700 and you've got the dinks,
00:05:54.140 and you've got the suburbanites.
00:05:58.340 And by the way, all these groups are competing with one another
00:06:01.160 and hating one another
00:06:02.680 just as much as the economic classes.
00:06:07.880 So, Bernays, he's operating off the same sort of theory.
00:06:13.980 Same sort of divide and conquer theory as Marx, isn't he?
00:06:18.720 But, more than that.
00:06:26.900 Bernays' theory,
00:06:28.880 marketing, advertising,
00:06:31.620 the whole school of it,
00:06:33.460 okay, the whole modern school.
00:06:36.260 I'm not throwing out the idea
00:06:37.780 of trying to popularize your product
00:06:40.220 so you have more customers.
00:06:41.480 That's not what I'm throwing out.
00:06:42.580 I'm talking about the way they do it.
00:06:44.900 The way that they market things
00:06:47.180 is to induce neuroses in you.
00:06:55.620 Neuroses that weren't present before.
00:06:57.000 The average European, 0.91
00:07:05.460 when they go shopping for clothing,
00:07:08.440 they tend to look for something,
00:07:10.260 well, you know, is it well-made?
00:07:11.620 Is it functional?
00:07:12.940 Does it fit me right?
00:07:15.420 Not anymore.
00:07:17.040 Now you have Levi's jeans
00:07:18.960 with some supermodel wearing them 0.90
00:07:20.960 on a billboard by the bus station,
00:07:22.900 and so now you've taken clothing,
00:07:25.480 and you've got this primal tap 0.79
00:07:27.840 into psycho-sexual perversion.
00:07:34.200 Induced neuroses, 0.60
00:07:35.800 keeping up with the Joneses,
00:07:37.600 hating yourself,
00:07:38.620 needing the product
00:07:39.420 to fill that gaping void in your soul.
00:07:46.300 And some people have noticed this,
00:07:48.960 and they attack Marx,
00:07:50.980 and they attack Freud,
00:07:52.060 and they attack Bernays,
00:07:53.180 and in the process,
00:07:55.660 they become precisely 0.98
00:07:58.220 the sort of hateful monster
00:08:00.660 that Freud and Marx predicted. 0.97
00:08:06.640 They become the evil capitalist.
00:08:08.860 They become the oppressor. 0.99
00:08:13.020 They become the evil masculine dominant.
00:08:17.020 They're not answering the question
00:08:21.680 in the right way.
00:08:26.500 The way to answer the question
00:08:27.740 is to follow the steps
00:08:29.100 of Jung.
00:08:32.300 Jung studied under Freud.
00:08:34.500 Freud was the big thing.
00:08:38.560 But while studying under Freud,
00:08:40.740 Jung at one point reached,
00:08:42.660 he reached this threshold,
00:08:44.060 and he said,
00:08:44.280 you know what?
00:08:45.820 These theories that Freud is putting out,
00:08:48.640 these have absolutely nothing
00:08:49.880 to do with the European race.
00:08:54.260 This psycho-sexual dramatic, 0.69
00:08:57.480 this has nothing.
00:08:59.380 This does not apply
00:09:00.380 to Europeans.
00:09:02.620 This is not correct.
00:09:04.480 It does not adequately
00:09:06.160 or accurately diagnose Europeans.
00:09:08.540 Europeans at their core
00:09:11.420 are not a bundle
00:09:13.600 of anxiousness
00:09:14.960 and self-loathing.
00:09:18.300 We are not
00:09:19.360 a histrionic race.
00:09:22.500 What we are
00:09:23.500 is a race of dreamers
00:09:24.800 and explorers
00:09:26.100 who look to the future
00:09:27.280 while feeling the echoes
00:09:28.520 of our past.
00:09:31.420 And so Jung
00:09:32.100 went out
00:09:33.000 and founded
00:09:33.540 a new
00:09:34.360 theory of psychology
00:09:36.280 for Europeans.
00:09:40.940 He built something good.
00:09:43.620 He built something
00:09:44.840 to buttress
00:09:47.120 the European soul.
00:09:51.900 Because he recognized
00:09:53.520 where
00:09:54.420 he was coming from
00:09:55.840 and how
00:09:57.700 maybe Freud's theories
00:10:00.040 were right for Freud,
00:10:01.600 but they sure
00:10:04.340 as hell
00:10:04.900 weren't right
00:10:05.500 for the Europeans.
00:10:09.860 Solzhenitsyn
00:10:10.580 lived
00:10:12.620 through the worst
00:10:13.680 horrors
00:10:14.580 of communism.
00:10:19.120 And he wrote a book,
00:10:21.260 Gulag Archipelago,
00:10:23.520 about
00:10:24.600 the European
00:10:26.640 man's
00:10:28.060 complicity,
00:10:29.100 about
00:10:30.100 everybody's
00:10:31.480 complicity
00:10:32.560 in allowing
00:10:33.600 this tyranny
00:10:34.740 to take over
00:10:35.860 a once
00:10:36.540 great society.
00:10:41.080 He pulled
00:10:42.280 no punches
00:10:42.820 and described
00:10:45.360 at length
00:10:46.180 how the great
00:10:47.840 bullies
00:10:48.420 would become
00:10:48.820 the greatest 0.99
00:10:49.300 cowards, 0.95
00:10:51.060 how 0.97
00:10:51.860 even the brave
00:10:53.240 would compromise
00:10:54.220 themselves
00:10:55.000 for the sake
00:10:56.400 of trying
00:10:57.760 to appeal
00:10:58.860 to their
00:11:00.740 higher-ups.
00:11:02.260 The neuroticism
00:11:03.980 of the whole 1.00
00:11:04.960 damn thing. 0.99
00:11:08.900 Gulag Archipelago 1.00
00:11:10.100 is like a punch
00:11:11.560 to the gut
00:11:12.600 about how weak
00:11:14.360 we allowed
00:11:15.040 ourselves
00:11:15.520 to be.
00:11:19.160 And then,
00:11:21.020 after
00:11:22.400 he wrote
00:11:23.400 he wrote
00:11:24.040 that book.
00:11:26.020 After
00:11:26.620 he took
00:11:27.600 the European
00:11:28.100 man 0.95
00:11:28.580 and punched 0.99
00:11:29.360 him in the gut 0.99
00:11:29.920 and said,
00:11:30.600 you did this
00:11:31.300 to yourself.
00:11:35.500 After that,
00:11:37.680 he wrote
00:11:38.560 200 years
00:11:39.220 together.
00:11:42.340 In that book,
00:11:43.720 he wrote
00:11:44.280 about those
00:11:45.080 that orchestrated
00:11:46.200 all of this.
00:11:53.400 because
00:11:57.020 there is
00:12:00.080 a villain
00:12:00.360 behind it.
00:12:04.680 There is
00:12:05.220 a villain
00:12:05.540 that wants
00:12:06.440 us
00:12:06.960 neurotic
00:12:09.060 and self-loathing
00:12:10.800 and self-destructive
00:12:12.500 and desperate
00:12:14.140 for the approval
00:12:15.360 of others
00:12:15.820 that doesn't
00:12:16.240 want us
00:12:16.520 to know
00:12:16.740 our past,
00:12:17.420 doesn't want
00:12:17.720 us to know
00:12:18.000 our heroes,
00:12:18.780 doesn't want
00:12:19.100 us to
00:12:19.480 dream.
00:12:22.300 They want
00:12:22.740 us to
00:12:22.960 dream
00:12:23.420 of
00:12:24.300 consumer
00:12:24.740 goods
00:12:25.180 and
00:12:26.680 empty,
00:12:28.440 meaningless,
00:12:29.040 non-procreative
00:12:30.080 sex
00:12:30.700 and
00:12:32.460 status
00:12:34.180 and having
00:12:35.820 a good
00:12:36.220 credit rating
00:12:37.180 and a
00:12:37.900 brand new
00:12:38.460 car
00:12:38.940 and a
00:12:40.360 house
00:12:40.800 that won't
00:12:41.860 last more
00:12:42.420 than 50
00:12:42.980 years,
00:12:43.840 but is
00:12:44.200 bigger than
00:12:44.780 the house
00:12:45.180 next door
00:12:45.720 to you.
00:12:50.080 There is
00:12:50.780 a villain
00:12:51.200 behind all
00:12:52.420 of this.
00:12:53.520 But before
00:12:54.260 you can
00:12:55.340 name
00:12:56.140 that
00:12:56.700 villain,
00:12:58.480 you need
00:13:02.580 to delve
00:13:03.400 into the
00:13:04.900 underworld
00:13:05.280 and find
00:13:06.280 the elixir.
00:13:07.480 You need
00:13:08.260 to go
00:13:08.720 into the
00:13:09.300 past.
00:13:09.800 You need
00:13:10.060 to fall
00:13:10.460 deep inside
00:13:11.160 of yourself
00:13:11.760 and find
00:13:12.860 the heroes
00:13:14.120 that were
00:13:15.060 your ancestors.
00:13:15.900 you need
00:13:19.500 to resurrect
00:13:20.080 the European
00:13:21.380 soul
00:13:21.940 and make
00:13:23.560 it glow
00:13:24.500 and shine
00:13:26.180 and be a
00:13:27.100 beacon
00:13:27.360 unto the
00:13:28.120 world
00:13:28.560 once more
00:13:29.780 before you
00:13:32.080 can walk
00:13:32.400 into Mordor.
00:13:33.020 so be
00:13:38.580 very careful
00:13:39.380 when you
00:13:41.560 grapple
00:13:42.100 with this
00:13:42.940 question.
00:13:47.960 The abyss
00:13:49.060 stares back
00:13:49.900 into you,
00:13:51.040 but with the
00:13:53.440 light of our
00:13:53.860 ancestors,
00:13:55.140 we can make
00:13:56.260 the abyss
00:13:57.040 blink.
00:13:57.880 deus
00:14:01.180 vault,
00:14:02.460 folks.
00:14:05.640 Irini
00:14:06.000 out.
