00:00:00.000 I'm curious, do you know anything about Genie, like when that did come out, if they found it,
00:00:06.140 like, has this cheating been going on for longer than we thought? Because I saw someone on Twitter
00:00:12.800 like replied to one of my tweets and they said that they looked at genealogical records and found
00:00:19.400 that there was a lot more cheating from like neighbors and other people in town that we know
00:00:23.980 in history. Now this is a random person on Twitter, so I don't know, but I was just, you seem to have
00:00:29.980 read a lot about this talk yeah i don't you know i don't know if you can point to any specific
00:00:33.920 numbers on there um i think there was definitely a lot of that because once again you couldn't
00:00:38.740 prove it so you know and and typically if communities were more homogenized and you know
00:00:44.360 your neighbor didn't look that different from you it might be harder to tell um so it probably did
00:00:50.080 happen i mean if you go off numbers now i mean i think they say out of genetic tests that they
00:00:54.040 actually do which means that there was a suspicion of cheating already about a 30 percent of them
00:00:59.740 something end up not being it but you know there were some indications where i think people might
00:01:04.780 have been suspicious if there's dna tests it would have been different no i meant now if there's
00:01:11.660 mandatory dna tests that they should do that they yeah but they can't i'll tell you this they can't
00:01:18.060 because like like let's say 20 of the population is raising kids that aren't and they find out
00:01:26.220 and they feel like what is that going to do to society yeah i don't think the government
00:01:29.740 will ever let it happen i'll tell you this there's less incentive for the government to do it
00:01:33.900 because from the government's point of view they want to see children born that have legal parents
00:01:37.980 that are responsible for them if the government probably does not want to pay to find out that
00:01:44.060 we don't know who the dad is and then you know have more kids on welfare or foster care i will
00:01:48.460 say there has been suspicions in history i mean i think it's called lord mansfield's rule this was
00:01:53.820 in late 1700s I can't remember exactly but it was in England and they made it to where
00:01:59.820 you couldn't challenge paternity of the kid all the way back then so it kind of leads me to believe
00:02:05.260 that there must have been people who were like that's not my kid and they were trying to get
00:02:09.180 this figured out until they were like no you know stop bringing this up basically so there's always
00:02:14.140 suspicion, it's possible.
