00:00:00.000 is that whole idea of drinking apple cider vinegar when you wake up and it improves your
00:00:07.020 metabolism or something is that just like an old wives tale or wasn't jordan peterson like eating
00:00:14.280 bacon and drinking apple cider vinegar and then he died he claimed that the apple cider vinegar
00:00:23.120 like put him into like a coma for like days or something wow but was he only doing vinegar
00:00:31.640 basically oh he was i think he was on a carnivore diet that his weird daughter put him on she calls
00:00:38.520 it like lion diet where you only eat beef and salt like you don't even eat other other not lions
00:00:43.900 it's literally just like beef and salt and then he said and i i i had like a sip of apple cider
00:00:51.540 of vinegar and i was like comatose for three days that is he literally wow he's really neurotic
00:00:59.240 i i definitely i i'm more or less a believer in the primal diet i know you are a pete
00:01:07.460 aficionado or a member of the pete cult um rfh but i'm uh more of a i the primal diet always
00:01:17.740 made a lot of sense when i read about it it's been a long time like 15 years ago it appeals to
00:01:24.760 i would say right-wingers and racists for very obvious reasons um i i have a paleo background
00:01:31.940 myself that was like the first thing i got into um but there's actually quite a bit of a lot of
00:01:38.820 overlap between the two even if the macros are very different in what they believe the you're
00:01:45.280 eating a lot of kind of the same foods and both of them really demonize um well i guess people
00:01:51.400 call it seed oils but when i was paleo we called it vegetable oil right so they're both very against
00:01:57.020 that and they're both very pro coconut oil yeah that is that is interesting i mean it does there
00:02:03.500 is a right-wing quality to primal dieting in the sense that you're trying to get back to like a
00:02:10.660 hunter-gatherer type you know way and yes it so it is kind of inherently conservative
00:02:18.740 yes um so i popular libertarians as well definitely um you know that's where this
00:02:28.880 high protein thing came from the libertarians did the high protein thing they birthed yeah
00:02:34.640 rfa or rfk rather it kind of that's why everything's protein slapped onto it now
00:02:40.040 it's like um there's like a whole like politics of meat that like radfams have been talking about
00:02:46.280 there's a whole book called this since like the 70s but yes the the whole like protein
00:02:51.480 obsession absolutely is very conservative and right-wing in nature yes because boomers like
00:02:59.760 to grill so they they like it appeals to them it's pandering to them and then as i said there
00:03:07.480 there is something a kind of libertarian alt-right not necessarily even christian not christian i
00:03:15.140 would say right-wing mentality where you sort of like the idea of like going you know the way of
00:03:22.520 the ancestors basically and that is the primal diet yes it's also very rebellious which they
00:03:29.180 like too because the government was telling you don't eat red meat vegetarianism is good so they
00:03:35.380 love being like no i'm gonna eat bacon all day yeah there there is a lot to that there's no doubt
00:03:45.720 about it um we were actually talking uh last night about this the conservative brain and how
00:03:57.160 And I think I've joked about this before a few times, but how conservative, you know, sometimes these cliches are accurate.
00:04:07.440 Like when people say, oh, like conservatives, they're just 10 years behind.
00:04:11.120 Or, you know, I remember saying this back when I was blogging for TakiMag or AlternativeRight.com or something where it was like conservatives will oppose something and then they'll lose in their opposition and then five years on they'll claim that it was a conservative thing all along.
00:04:33.560 So civil rights, best example of that. All of these voters who came to the Republican Party precisely solely due to opposition to desegregation, they obviously oppose civil rights.
00:04:51.220 national review opposed it although in a bit more tenuous manner and they lose this battle
00:04:58.000 and then five years later national review is like well you know the conservatism of mlk and
00:05:04.680 the civil rights act is truly a libertarian document when you think about and it's not like
00:05:09.620 they're entirely wrong but it it's just this like self-serving way in which they act and think and
00:05:19.040 gay marriage was another one so they were just like laughing oh gay marriage what's next you're
00:05:24.460 gonna marry your dog or whatever and then they lose the battle and then five years later it's
00:05:29.000 like we need to bring gay citizens into the communion of marriage like you know it's a
00:05:35.080 conservative policy like that we always support it they're they're just they just always do this
00:05:40.800 like every issue is like this actually with conservatives and i but i i think there's
00:05:48.280 something much deeper going on as well that i can't fully explain because what we were talking
00:05:56.100 about are more recent trends so i'm old enough to remember because i've been an adult for 27 years
00:06:04.740 29 wow three decades of adulting it's the yeah i'm still bad at um filling out forms and so on
00:06:15.280 But anyway, so I can remember back in the early 2000s when, like, anti-vaccination ideology and JFK conspiracy theories, if you held those views, you were 100% someone who lived in, like, Whitefish, Montana and owned an independent bookstore.
00:06:44.480 or like made your own granola or you know we're like a former hippie i mean it was it left coded
00:06:53.640 like without even any question jf the jfk the phenomena that when it was really intense was
00:07:00.120 with oliver stone's movie in the 1990s it was 100 liberal coded and vaccination stuff that came out
00:07:09.140 with jenny mccarthy and uh it was you're like a you're a cool slightly weird suburban housewife
00:07:18.680 or something and you're in like i'm not vaxxing my kids why would you do put chemicals into their
00:07:23.580 body what else you know do you feed them corn syrup and cornstarch like it was so left-coded
00:07:30.660 and then 20 years later all of these things are right-coded and i don't it's it's so many i mean
00:07:38.640 these are all anecdotal examples but it's it's so consistent that it has to be getting at something
00:07:45.820 deeper another thing like we're all everyone here is old enough to remember the obsession with blue
00:07:52.740 hair you have died okay gotta mute guys automatically who is that okay you're
00:08:03.160 automatically muted when you come in you gotta mute um but blue hair was the the symbol of being
00:08:15.860 an sjw or leftist i i i'm not even exaggerating right now i think if you see someone with blue
00:08:25.060 hair and a nose earring she's almost coded as maga now don't you like don't you think
00:08:32.880 like there's something about being like 10 years behind the trend that's just very consistent and
00:08:43.860 very conservative i don't know if i accidentally muted you rfh but yes or you did there um
00:08:53.480 yeah i mean this has been like a discourse with liberals a lot lately just in terms of like
00:09:00.520 clothing in particular it's it's like almost like they they've switched like you see conservatives
00:09:07.480 now dress as liberals did like 10 years ago kind of kind of hipstery kind of alt
00:09:14.260 like tattoos yeah tattooed weird hair weird things when you see someone like in because i
00:09:24.620 graduated from high school in 1997 so this has been wow so old but um that was when tattoos
00:09:32.020 which had been basically the provenance of of criminals military super weirdos
00:09:43.760 or drug users like you didn't have a tattoo that wasn't a thing and even when you saw sports
00:09:50.660 figures like the nfl games no tattoos and now it's ubiquitous if not universal in fact but like
00:10:00.480 a guy wearing jeans and like an untucked shirt who has tattoos up his arm or something 20 years ago
00:10:08.760 that man is a liberal hips hipster taking his cues from like williamsburg uh brooklyn that is
00:10:16.180 now when you see that man you're like oh wow he's a trump tard
00:10:19.860 it's yeah it keeps it's everything now that it's not edgy anymore because 20 years ago too
00:10:28.280 having any sort of visible tattoo it precluded you from any sort of office work yeah but you
00:10:35.400 could not get hired in many places having any sort of tattoo like that on you that's why it was like
00:10:40.580 people in the military people in prison like it you didn't have that it really like
00:10:47.120 it really limited your options employment wise and like your your economic social mobility
00:10:54.740 now that they're everywhere and it's normal to have a tattoo is like my last job i worked at
00:11:00.800 like a fortune 400 finance company and all my zoomer co-workers had tattoos and it was fine
00:11:06.880 like visible tattoos and this was normal and it's almost like weirdly conservative coded and i know
00:11:14.300 the tattoo craze is very widespread but it's almost like conservative coded or something in
00:11:22.860 a certain way like you have a little like artsy tattoo and that means that you live in the burbs
00:11:30.360 and you go to um go to a mega church or go to a church called like fresh life or something
00:11:38.720 and but then you also were like skeptical of trump but when rfk got on board well i was all in
00:11:47.420 yeah like you're that type of person it's like conservative coded to be tattooed
00:11:53.820 like i think we're there yeah because now that it's become so over saturated it's everywhere
00:11:59.660 now they jump on board because they're never leading the way with anything they're never like
00:12:06.060 at the forefront they're never edgy they're never forward thinking i don't know like they never take
00:12:12.200 a risk they're they're more risk averse they're less high in openness so now that tattoos are
00:12:18.900 accepted and common and the liberals they move on from things and the conservatives now they
00:12:26.540 discover and they're like oh and they think it's cool yeah it has to be oversaturated and in a way
00:12:33.460 the trend has to be over and then they jump on it and you were saying like the the the big five
00:12:40.540 personality traits so ocean openness conscientiousness extroversion uh agreeableness
00:12:48.260 and neuroticism i believe and so it's one of these psychological things where they're i mean i'm even
00:12:54.580 kind of skeptical of this stuff like sam vatkin talks about like the whole field of psychology
00:13:01.340 is sort of suspect or it's it's like the whole field is kind of like we're putting words on
00:13:08.680 things but we have no real knowledge of causality you know it's like you know i'm diagnosing you
00:13:15.580 with bpd disorder well okay but where what is what is going on exactly is there is that a gene
00:13:23.360 is that you're sort of finding categories
00:13:28.160 that get codified in the DSM
00:13:30.540 and kind of projecting them onto something,
00:13:33.220 but in a rather, I don't know,
00:13:35.800 like a somewhat dubious way.
00:13:37.800 Why was I saying this?
00:13:38.820 Oh, Ocean, the big five personality traits.
00:13:41.040 So we sort of think of these big traits
00:13:44.300 as you know them when you see them, basically.
00:13:48.040 And these are heritable to some degree,
00:13:52.160 also cultural um but they they're kind of like ways of describing personality
00:13:58.500 and the lack of openness does seem to be
00:14:02.880 a clear component of being right way i mean i think that's like the big problem yeah i think
00:14:10.980 that's probably the biggest one of the big five that that probably has the most yeah like polarity
00:14:19.140 between um liberals and conservatives because it's all like the disease metaphor is this right-wing
00:14:26.560 rhetoric what i mean by that is that if you look back at like discussions of communism
00:14:32.860 and things like that it was always it was always about like the disease like there's like a red
00:14:38.340 like virus and it's going to get into your schools it might affect your kids
00:14:43.540 has it affected the president maybe we don't know like it's that that kind of metaphorical thinking
00:14:49.440 of the disease the invader into the common body that's how right wingers think so they they they
00:14:56.760 do they are sort of like an immune system basically and they have these like walls build a wall what
00:15:02.620 is the most powerful meme of trump at least 2016 build the wall what did it mean we have no idea
00:15:09.580 but it just means what it means it's like outsiders beware basically and so they just
00:15:17.540 lack this openness I mean for better for worse I'm not even necessarily bashing them for this
00:15:22.300 it just is what it is but it also means that they are reactive against any sort of new trend
00:15:30.020 or new idea so it's like the JFK oh yeah right you know tell me another one yeah JFK was
00:15:37.800 assassinated by the cia okay and then 20 years later they're like listen man i've got to tell
00:15:45.140 you like jfk was killed by the cia and it's like we know like not only that jfk jr is going to trump
00:15:54.660 their allies and he's alive yes right but it's like hey man like you know there's this new thing
00:16:03.600 it's called putting ink into your skin you use a needle you decorate your body it's like
00:16:10.000 kind of like tribal and badass and it's like yeah dude i've heard of a tattoo before you
00:16:16.500 fucking idiot like there's just some degree in which that i mean that that gets my criticism
00:16:22.820 conservatism is and like tucker and the like neo alt-right or whatever where they they reach
00:16:30.720 they're they're so far behind on the timeline but when they get to like your tweet from 10 years ago
00:16:37.980 they think it's new and then they steal it they think they invented it they think they discovered
00:16:42.900 it yeah yeah and it's like we we taught we discussed this and we're actually now over
00:16:50.320 this thing and it's less it's not really relevant now and so you're just like i i don't know i it's
00:17:00.320 a very weird mentality i think i don't know i just i don't think i was born with a conservative
00:17:06.360 mentality i i understand how i have these very strong kind of hard right wing tendencies like
00:17:14.560 deep in my personality to like root for the overdog or against the underdog or only the
00:17:22.060 strong survive i'm kind of that type but i i don't think i inherited the conservative mentality at
00:17:30.020 all it just doesn't vibe with me and i find people who are lacking in openness annoying yeah actually
00:17:38.080 i think it's they just have like a completely different neurology like they've done like
00:17:44.180 brain scans on liberals versus conservatives and like conservatives have like more active
00:17:49.020 amygdalas like threat detection they have right they're more sensitive to their disgust response
00:17:55.260 so and you you probably do need people like that in your population to be fair you can't have
00:18:03.040 everyone just be like this really open-minded like you know edgy type person that's just like
00:18:11.240 wanting to change things all the time you obviously need like a consistent steady group of
00:18:16.480 people but i also don't really want to hang out with them or converse with no and i'm not going
00:18:23.420 to pretend that their epiphanies are somehow groundbreaking as well yeah chris yeah i sometimes
00:18:32.740 from what it's worth problems kind of disentangling the right way and left way elements of my
00:18:38.320 psychology and somewhat silver struggles but also i was going to say uh you know ed dutton
00:18:44.300 who's ironically a conservative points out in one of his books that openness of those five
00:18:50.460 personality characteristics. Openness is the one that's most strongly correlated with
00:18:55.900 intelligence. In fact, sometimes when they present the ocean system, they actually say,
00:19:03.380 they describe that trait as openness slash.
