RadixJournal - Spree Psychology

00:00:00.380 Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are around the world.

00:00:05.980 Welcome back to Radix Live.

00:00:09.820 How are you doing, Ed?

00:00:11.580 Not good.

00:00:13.560 Okay.

00:00:15.120 Not good.

00:00:16.420 I went out last night, I was going to have some beers with my Scottish friend.

00:00:22.560 And I went to the only place where I could get London Pride, which is these beers here,

00:00:27.260 which is a series of shops by the graveyard.

00:00:32.140 And I popped in just for a second, just for a second to get the beers.

00:00:35.520 And I normally lock my bicycle, even though I shouldn't have to.

00:00:39.180 And I didn't lock it and it was stolen.

00:00:41.940 Wow.

00:00:43.600 And I mean, what is the point?

00:00:45.640 What is the point of living in a country that is boring, that has no castles,

00:00:52.360 that has no stately homes you can go to,

00:00:54.520 if not for the fact that it has a high level of social trust.

00:00:58.220 Right.

00:00:58.680 But no, not even that.

00:01:00.200 Okay.

00:01:00.480 I have a lock on my bike.

00:01:02.260 I normally lock it, but I just popped in just quickly.

00:01:05.180 I just didn't.

00:01:06.000 And then to make matters worse, I put the,

00:01:08.520 one of these cans sort of somehow hit in my bag and opened in a very small hole

00:01:14.300 and started beer coming out of it.

00:01:16.040 So I had to walk home like this every few seconds going like this.

00:01:19.320 And then by the time I got home, I consumed 20% of the beer in that can

00:01:25.360 through that half hour walk or 20 minute walk.

00:01:28.600 So yeah, not, not very good.

00:01:29.960 So from, I mean, basically lock all the doors,

00:01:32.420 I hang large pieces of crooked wood over the windows.

00:01:35.060 Finland is now, or Northern Finland is now an unsafe society.

00:01:38.700 And, you know, I might as well be in Chicago, to be honest.

00:01:41.820 There, there still is some trust out here where I live.

00:01:47.380 You can, you can leave your car unlocked, even running.

00:01:51.880 I've done that, run an errand.

00:01:53.260 You can leave a bike around.

00:01:54.760 You can't, you can't, you can't do that in near the graveyard in Finland.

00:01:58.680 That's, that's, that's in no, that is unfortunate.

00:02:01.360 So that's not been, that's not been good.

00:02:03.160 The two, those two related problems of bicycle theft.

00:02:07.240 And, and then as I say, the beer breaking open.

00:02:09.720 So I had to walk along drinking like an alcoholic.

00:02:13.160 And can you drink in public in Finland?

00:02:15.420 You can do that.

00:02:16.020 Well, I think in theory, no, but in practice, absolutely.

00:02:19.620 Yes.

00:02:20.600 So young, young, young, young, young people will tend to,

00:02:23.600 at this time of year, we'll say there's like a beach,

00:02:25.480 essentially in the center of Olu.

00:02:28.480 They have sandy area by the, and they,

00:02:31.680 everyone just gathers in public and drinks.

00:02:34.140 So, so absolutely you can drink in public.

00:02:38.580 All right.

00:02:39.340 Well, let's move on to less amusing areas.

00:02:44.820 Nothing amusing about it.

00:02:46.060 It's criminality.

00:02:46.920 And what we're moving on to is just a more extreme kind of criminality.

00:02:50.840 Right.

00:02:51.760 So first off,

00:02:53.260 we will take super chats and you can do those via Odyssey.

00:02:59.900 So we are streaming live on Twitter.

00:03:02.500 We're streaming live on YouTube and Odyssey, of course.

00:03:06.120 But it is via Odyssey that we are taking your super chat.

00:03:10.120 So if you,

00:03:10.800 if you just Google Radix and my name or Ed's name,

00:03:14.320 I'm sure you'll find it.

00:03:15.240 But that's a way just to get to the channel.

00:03:18.140 That's a real simple URL.

00:03:20.720 So please join the discussion if you would like.

00:03:28.260 All right.

00:03:28.980 We are,

00:03:29.420 we already have an interesting one on Ukraine by Yehuda Finkelstein,

00:03:34.460 a long time listener and super chatter,

00:03:37.240 but I'm going to save that one.

00:03:38.600 I want to get,

00:03:40.620 get on track right away and just talk about what happened in Texas.

00:03:45.540 So I think we've had a couple of days to process this matter.

00:03:52.600 And so it's not merely one of,

00:03:54.860 of shock,

00:03:55.800 but as I'm sure you all know,

00:03:59.440 19 children and two teachers were killed in a small town outside of San

00:04:04.960 Antonio,

00:04:05.560 Texas called Uvalde by an 18 year old named Salvador Ramos.

00:04:11.680 He also shot his grandmother in the face before engaging in this heinous act.

00:04:19.840 From what I understand,

00:04:21.820 she actually might survive.

00:04:25.420 I think early reports was that she was dead,

00:04:27.880 but so he went on an absolute rampage and as disturbing as it is,

00:04:38.240 these kinds of things have become a part of American life in the same way of

00:04:47.240 eating a hot dog and,

00:04:49.080 or cheeseburger on the 4th of July and doing fireworks and trick-or-treating on

00:04:55.400 Halloween.

00:04:55.980 It's just,

00:04:56.380 it's a part of life.

00:04:57.260 Now of course it's,

00:04:58.500 it is ultimately exceedingly rare to die in one of these incidents is a lot

00:05:03.160 like getting struck by lightning.

00:05:05.080 But it does have a kind of omnipresent feel to American life.

00:05:12.240 I don't know what it would be like to be a child today and to,

00:05:17.700 you know,

00:05:18.540 whether it's rational or empirically accurate or not,

00:05:21.760 but to at least think about your school being attacked by your own classmate.

00:05:28.560 That's something that I can't imagine.

00:05:30.380 This whole trend was started of course with Columbine in Colorado that shocked the world in 1999

00:05:40.160 with Harris and Klebold and they seem to have set a kind of standard or started this horrible trend.

00:05:51.060 And I was actually looking back at that incident last night and you have all of the,

00:05:59.820 the now kind of telltale signs of the spree shooter.

00:06:03.240 These are young men,

00:06:04.780 men seem to be a little more psychotic around that age,

00:06:10.740 that late teens,

00:06:11.760 early twenties.

00:06:12.660 But the black leather trench coats,

00:06:16.540 the promotion of what they're doing on the internet,

00:06:20.840 it was the,

00:06:21.620 still the relatively early days of the web,

00:06:25.160 but there were certainly telltale signs that they were using the internet to talk about what they were going to doing,

00:06:33.000 what they were doing,

00:06:33.920 whether they were radicalized on the internet,

00:06:35.740 I guess might be another question.

00:06:39.660 And there's some other aspects to this,

00:06:41.500 the theatricality of it all,

00:06:44.500 which I've noted.

00:06:47.860 Harris and Klebold actually made home videos of their exploits,

00:06:55.380 but it almost seemed like a rehearsal of what they would ultimately do.

00:07:00.000 And so a lot of these images of those two characters wearing black trench coats,

00:07:06.000 walk you around,

00:07:06.460 those aren't images of the actual event itself,

00:07:09.480 but of videos they made that were kind of fictional reenactments.

00:07:14.040 Now I'll actually say this.

00:07:15.960 I remember making ridiculous, 0.79

00:07:19.880 hilarious home videos like that. 0.83

00:07:23.680 When I was in high school,

00:07:24.980 I remember we had,

00:07:25.740 we had some assignment that we had to do.

00:07:28.300 And I can remember this directly.

00:07:31.100 I don't know if the video exists,

00:07:32.280 but we had like water balloons full of ketchup and water or something.

00:07:36.460 And we were firing guns and blood was splattering everywhere.

00:07:40.420 I remember falling.

00:07:41.340 I got shot and I fell into a pool and then I slowly drowned.

00:07:44.980 My hand went down to the water.

00:07:46.980 It's probably a reenactment of Terminator.

00:07:48.460 You should try and find that.

00:07:49.220 I think people were watching this one.

00:07:50.720 Right.

00:07:51.120 I remember them pretty vividly.

00:07:53.760 They are really amusing,

00:07:56.080 but of course I,

00:07:58.160 because they were just for fun,

00:07:59.640 there was nothing else there.

00:08:01.060 But with these two figures,

00:08:02.860 they were not just,

00:08:04.100 you know,

00:08:05.080 fantasy reenactments of eighties action movies,

00:08:07.860 but they,

00:08:08.480 they were a rehearsal for the actual event.

00:08:10.580 So one,

00:08:11.940 when I think there is a great deal of theatricality and,

00:08:16.760 and perhaps even narcissism.

00:08:18.900 One interesting tidbit about Salvador Ramos that I read is that he was an

00:08:25.340 unpopular from what we can tell.

00:08:27.220 We don't know a lot about it,

00:08:28.260 but he was a,

00:08:29.480 and he had no criminal record and he had no,

00:08:32.480 he was not engaged in any kind of mental health therapy or anything like

00:08:36.200 that.

00:08:36.460 But one thing we do know,

00:08:40.580 and this is interesting.

00:08:41.960 I saw this in the New York times.

00:08:43.740 I think it was yesterday,

00:08:44.880 the day before he actually went on a website that I'd never heard of called

00:08:51.260 you bow.

00:08:52.180 I believe is what it's called where you can randomly live stream to

00:08:56.780 strangers.

00:08:57.520 So it's,

00:08:58.160 it's almost like a chat room roulette or,

00:09:02.100 or something like this where you just kind of randomly connect with a

00:09:05.480 stranger.

00:09:06.480 And he connected with a young woman in Germany and he talked about buying all

00:09:13.060 of these weapons and ordering ammunition.

00:09:16.300 And then they seem to connect in some way.

00:09:20.040 And he texted her on the day of the event.

00:09:22.560 I've just killed my grandmother and more there's more is going to happen.

00:09:28.280 So it's this weird, 0.87

00:09:30.460 you know,

00:09:31.940 internet age relationship that,

00:09:37.480 that is totally anonymous yet strangely intimate and deeply personal and

00:09:42.960 honest.

00:09:44.360 But so all those Ramos was not quite to the level of Klebold and Harris from

00:09:50.780 Columbine.

00:09:51.460 And he too engaged in a kind of boasting about the event or,

00:09:57.820 or at least telling people,

00:09:59.320 and there,

00:09:59.460 there was a certain theatricality to what he was doing.

00:10:02.980 He wanted people to know about it.

00:10:04.380 One thing that stands out of,

00:10:06.720 again,

00:10:08.220 some of these various sparse reports that we hear,

00:10:12.100 he,

00:10:12.500 he mentioned to some of his colleagues at a Wendy's where he worked that,

00:10:17.680 do you know who I am?

00:10:19.680 So there also just seemed to be a kind of hint of theatricality and narcissism,

00:10:24.000 which I think is a,

00:10:24.960 a very important aspect to this,

00:10:27.460 but at all past the baton,

00:10:29.740 do you,

00:10:30.400 do you,

00:10:31.660 what,

00:10:31.820 what do you pick up on some of the things that I've said,

00:10:33.980 or,

00:10:34.120 or do you,

00:10:34.620 do you disagree with my kind of portrait of it as there's,

00:10:38.920 there's another level to this.

00:10:40.340 It's,

00:10:40.540 it's not simply snapping in a moment of,

00:10:44.140 you know,

00:10:44.380 it's not,

00:10:44.800 it's not necessarily a crime of passion where you snap,

00:10:48.080 you let,

00:10:48.760 you know,

00:10:48.900 let's just say this,

00:10:50.080 you,

00:10:50.380 you want a husband walks in on his wife engaged in an affair.

00:10:55.060 Well,

00:10:56.140 you'll,

00:10:56.960 you'll be extremely angry.

00:10:58.580 You,

00:10:58.780 you might lose it and,

00:11:00.740 and engage in murder,

00:11:01.780 but that's a kind of crime of passion.

00:11:03.940 And,

00:11:04.440 and it's a,

00:11:04.860 it's a snapping.

00:11:05.540 You,

00:11:05.960 you lose sense of reason.

00:11:07.560 There's something else happening here.

00:11:09.540 It is premeditated to some degree,

00:11:11.700 but there's also a level of lashing out at the world and theatricality,

00:11:16.860 which I don't think should be underestimated.

00:11:18.820 Go ahead.

00:11:19.460 Well,

00:11:19.760 there was a study called by Glick et al.

00:11:21.720 in the journal of psychopharmacology published last year on a domestic mass shooting incidents in America.

00:11:29.500 And they had most,

00:11:32.760 a lot of these people killed themselves,

00:11:34.280 but there were 35 instances of survivors who have then gone to prison.

00:11:40.040 And those survivors have been interviewed by psychiatrists and by psychologists.

00:11:44.440 And these,

00:11:45.220 these academics interviewed the various psychiatrists and psychologists,

00:11:50.040 and also looked at the various cases.

00:11:53.140 And in 28 out of 35 instances of these survivors,

00:11:59.160 there was a clear diagnosis.

00:12:02.220 And the largest was schizophrenia.

00:12:05.200 And schizophrenia was 18 of them.

00:12:08.680 Three was bipolar.

00:12:10.680 Two was delusional persecution,

00:12:12.660 which in some ways is a kind of schizophrenia.

00:12:15.960 There was a paranoid borderline.

00:12:18.440 There was substance abuse.

00:12:20.080 One was post-traumatic stress.

00:12:22.580 So the largest amount of them was basically schizophrenia.

00:12:27.060 And what schizophrenia involves is extreme paranoia.

00:12:31.660 And also some kinds of schizophrenia,

00:12:34.260 persecutory delusions.

00:12:35.660 And one way that they deal with these persecutory delusions,

00:12:40.460 of course,

00:12:40.820 is defensive.

00:12:41.900 So they will kill somebody because they are afraid that person is going to kill them.

00:12:45.700 And there's some research where you,

00:12:47.880 you get what's called a defensive projection.

00:12:50.640 So you,

00:12:51.680 you feel you're persecuted in a sense by the entirety of society.

00:12:56.440 Society is persecuting you.

00:12:58.340 Everybody is persecuting you.

00:13:00.000 And you have to show society that you're not going to be persecuted.

00:13:03.880 So they,

00:13:04.520 that they don't,

00:13:05.180 they don't completely kill you.

00:13:07.120 And one,

00:13:08.200 and so one,

00:13:09.400 and you become so,

00:13:10.840 so wrapped up in this idea of persecution and being persecuted that you then in a,

00:13:16.880 in a,

00:13:17.120 in a moment of trying to stop yourself from being persecuted almost, 0.96

00:13:21.740 you go and kill a load of people because those people embody the society that is persecuting you. 0.92

00:13:28.000 But then of course, 0.99

00:13:28.980 you realize that that's,

00:13:31.880 that society is still going to persecute you even more now that you've done this.

00:13:36.540 So you've taken out your rage of being persecuted. 0.99

00:13:39.140 And so you kill yourself.

00:13:40.860 So that seems to be the, 0.98

00:13:42.900 the significant one.

00:13:44.380 As for what you said about narcissism.

00:13:47.100 Yeah.

00:13:47.580 I mean,

00:13:48.020 if you look at some of the people that they found here,

00:13:49.860 the borderline personality disorder was a number of them and a general persecutory complex.

00:13:59.920 And this can be related to the idea that you,

00:14:02.100 you feel that you're,

00:14:03.200 you're powerful and important and special.

00:14:05.280 You feel disempowered.

00:14:07.020 This gives you a narcissistic injury. 1.00

00:14:08.980 So you therefore want to assert your power and what better way of doing this than killing a load of people in the easiest way possible via killing school children. 0.99

00:14:20.900 So those seem to be the two, 0.99

00:14:22.120 the two key things.

00:14:22.900 One is schizophrenia.

00:14:23.940 They're all out to persecute me.

00:14:25.220 I'm going to stop them first.

00:14:27.080 But then once you,

00:14:27.800 once you do so,

00:14:28.680 then you realize that you're going to be persecuted more. 0.99

00:14:30.900 So you kill yourself. 0.76

00:14:31.580 And the second is a sort of a narcissistic injury and a response to that.

00:14:36.880 And I think that was what we saw perhaps with that.

00:14:38.680 What was that guy called?

00:14:39.520 That young,

00:14:39.960 that young incel a few years ago.

00:14:43.300 Oh,

00:14:43.700 yes.

00:14:44.660 I'm forgetting his name in the moment,

00:14:46.240 but he,

00:14:46.720 he attacked a,

00:14:48.540 a sorority house,

00:14:50.400 I believe.

00:14:51.300 Yeah.

00:14:51.560 Because the girl,

00:14:52.220 the girls had damaged him, 0.91

00:14:53.820 damaged his sense of self-importance by refusing to have sex with him.

00:14:57.260 So I think he was lashing out at the Stacey's and Chad's or Betty's.

00:15:01.580 Or whatever they call it.

00:15:02.720 That's right.

00:15:03.180 Now I think,

00:15:04.220 so you've basically got persecutory delusions,

00:15:06.500 which you deal with by,

00:15:08.140 because you're being,

00:15:08.800 you're being,

00:15:09.220 the society is persecuting you.

00:15:11.020 And so you rage out,

00:15:12.080 you lash out at society in some form because it's persecuting you out of a

00:15:15.420 sense of rage at being persecuted.

00:15:17.620 So I guess there's sort of narcissistic dimensions to that as well.

00:15:21.180 And these things aren't independent of each other.

00:15:23.400 I mean,

00:15:23.600 schizophrenia can cross over with aspects of narcissism.

00:15:27.480 That dog is increasingly the bane of my existence.

00:15:30.060 I do this program.

00:15:31.580 Keep talking and I'll,

00:15:32.880 I'll bring this.

00:15:33.840 And he wants to contribute to the show.

00:15:36.300 Well,

00:15:36.420 he can't,

00:15:37.020 he's a dog.

00:15:38.300 He doesn't have any kind of sense of self.

00:15:40.160 Well,

00:15:40.400 he does have probably a very vague sense of consciousness,

00:15:42.740 but he wouldn't,

00:15:43.940 he wouldn't pass the mirror test.

00:15:45.640 So anyway,

00:15:46.480 folks,

00:15:46.840 so what is it that is causing it?

00:15:49.660 Well,

00:15:49.840 apparently the,

00:15:50.680 the schizophrenia is very significantly heritable.

00:15:53.040 It's very strongly heritable.

00:15:54.360 Uh,

00:15:55.120 it's the order of about 0.7.

00:15:56.800 So it's mutants basically.

00:15:59.260 Um,

00:15:59.460 I,

00:15:59.760 I mean,

00:16:00.200 if I'd had time to read,

00:16:01.620 to write,

00:16:02.000 if I public,

00:16:02.500 I've had a few months to write my,

00:16:04.160 uh,

00:16:04.600 spiteful mutants book,

00:16:05.640 which is coming out soon,

00:16:06.580 I perhaps could have done a chapter on,

00:16:08.600 on school shooters,

00:16:10.260 but it's,

00:16:11.180 I think that's a big part of it because why would there be more of them? 0.66

00:16:13.800 Because there's just more of these crazy people around because, 0.53

00:16:16.680 and, 0.71

00:16:17.120 uh,

00:16:17.300 because of the higher levels of,

00:16:18.940 of mutation.

00:16:19.980 That is part of it.

00:16:21.040 It's not all of it,

00:16:22.100 but it's,

00:16:22.380 it's part of it.

00:16:23.460 Um,

00:16:23.800 then there's other,

00:16:24.500 the,

00:16:24.640 the environmental components to schizophrenia and okay.

00:16:27.800 Some of them are not schizophrenic,

00:16:29.100 but the biggest,

00:16:29.680 um,

00:16:30.900 minority,

00:16:31.580 well,

00:16:31.800 it's the majority even 18 out of 35,

00:16:34.420 but that's,

00:16:34.880 that's basically the majority.

00:16:36.080 Um,

00:16:37.540 um,

00:16:37.920 are,

00:16:38.620 um, 0.71

00:16:40.400 schizophrenic.

00:16:41.420 Um,

00:16:41.660 so it's infections,

00:16:42.920 um,

00:16:43.580 and in serious,

00:16:44.720 a serious infection,

00:16:46.060 particularly in childhood that develops into encephalitis can,

00:16:49.600 uh,

00:16:50.000 make things go wrong and bring about schizophrenia.

00:16:52.800 Um,

00:16:53.660 being born in the winter or spring,

00:16:56.040 as opposed to summer or autumn is,

00:16:57.860 is weakly correlated with developing schizophrenia.

00:17:01.140 Um,

00:17:02.040 being an immigrant for some reason is,

00:17:04.620 uh,

00:17:04.800 you know,

00:17:04.980 the pressure placed upon you of being foreign or something like that.

00:17:07.980 Uh,

00:17:08.520 being urban is correlates with schizophrenia,

00:17:11.200 uh,

00:17:12.420 and,

00:17:13.140 uh,

00:17:13.280 just cannabis use basically.

00:17:14.860 So cannabis use can,

00:17:15.960 can bring about a cannabis.

00:17:18.200 And it's very strong cannabis and it's done at a develop,

00:17:20.840 uh,

00:17:20.980 in a developmentally sensitive time,

00:17:22.940 such as a teenager,

00:17:23.840 uh,

00:17:24.680 and it's done to a substantial degree.

00:17:26.980 Uh,

00:17:27.240 then it can,

00:17:27.720 it can cause,

00:17:28.480 um,

00:17:28.860 a form of psychosis.

00:17:30.160 Um,

00:17:31.040 let me jump in real quick.

00:17:33.160 I,

00:17:33.440 uh,

00:17:33.620 that's interesting about being an immigrant.

00:17:35.340 I,

00:17:35.740 I think,

00:17:36.460 you know,

00:17:37.080 being an immigrant,

00:17:37.880 if you are a kind of singular immigrant,

00:17:40.580 it might feed a certain kind of persecution complex where you're not empathizing with your neighbors and,

00:17:46.900 and,

00:17:47.420 and so on.

00:17:48.080 But I,

00:17:48.660 I don't think that played a role here.

00:17:51.500 I mean,

00:17:51.880 in Uvalde,

00:17:52.860 Texas,

00:17:53.120 he,

00:17:53.460 he seemed to be,

00:17:54.300 you know,

00:17:55.500 within a Hispanic community where they,

00:17:58.040 they all had a very similar background.

00:18:00.220 I'm not surprised about,

00:18:01.620 um,

00:18:02.640 cannabis,

00:18:04.100 you know,

00:18:04.480 pot smoking,

00:18:05.860 uh,

00:18:06.320 promoting this.

00:18:07.140 I,

00:18:07.400 the,

00:18:07.660 the,

00:18:07.760 the kind of like Pollyannish view people have of marijuana,

00:18:12.140 particularly the marijuana that's being smoked now,

00:18:14.080 it,

00:18:14.720 it just never ceases to amaze me.

00:18:17.780 Um,

00:18:18.400 it is not a good thing to ingest.

00:18:23.720 Um,

00:18:24.360 but no,

00:18:24.920 it's strong.

00:18:25.480 If it's very strong,

00:18:26.340 if it's this skunk,

00:18:27.540 uh,

00:18:27.920 a kind of marijuana,

00:18:29.400 then it can,

00:18:30.160 it's taken,

00:18:31.060 you know,

00:18:31.400 a lot,

00:18:32.100 then it can cause very serious,

00:18:33.620 uh,

00:18:34.080 mental health problems.

00:18:35.420 So,

00:18:35.960 um,

00:18:36.520 yeah.

00:18:36.940 So those are the kinds of things that are involved.

00:18:38.940 We don't,

00:18:39.260 I don't know if by his background,

00:18:40.240 what was going on,

00:18:41.020 but it's basically,

00:18:41.560 it's undiagnosed.

00:18:42.760 It's,

00:18:42.880 it's an undiagnosed schizophrenic.

00:18:44.560 And,

00:18:44.980 and,

00:18:45.280 and in the right,

00:18:46.320 probably,

00:18:46.900 I think that's what's going on.

00:18:47.820 Yeah,

00:18:47.940 go ahead.

00:18:48.320 I mean,

00:18:49.660 that,

00:18:49.780 that,

00:18:49.960 that,

00:18:50.200 that it's more than just raging against the machine.

00:18:52.960 Maybe he was, 1.00

00:18:54.160 he had to kill her. 0.96

00:18:55.040 He's paranoid about everybody.

00:18:56.040 So I think,

00:18:57.240 um,

00:18:57.880 and then the problem is that immediately it brings in this gun debate.

00:19:01.500 And I think that this is concerning because the guns,

00:19:04.740 um,

00:19:05.380 Finland is awash with guns.

00:19:07.660 Uh,

00:19:08.180 there's,

00:19:08.400 there's a lot of guns in this country,

00:19:10.180 but there's,

00:19:11.460 there've only been,

00:19:12.220 there were two school massacres,

00:19:13.760 um,

00:19:14.740 uh,

00:19:15.020 one after the other in,

00:19:16.600 uh,

00:19:16.920 2007 or something,

00:19:18.840 2006.

00:19:19.920 And then 2008,

00:19:21.460 right about then.

00:19:22.440 And then that's it.

00:19:23.640 Then there's been no,

00:19:24.440 there's been no copycat or whatever since,

00:19:26.760 and there's still,

00:19:28.360 there's no security at schools.

00:19:29.960 You can just walk in.

00:19:31.120 It's like what schools were like when I was a kid in England,

00:19:33.060 you just walk in.

00:19:33.920 There's no problem.

00:19:35.020 And that changed because of a school massacre,

00:19:37.080 1996,

00:19:38.000 March,

00:19:38.360 96.

00:19:39.100 And this guy,

00:19:40.040 this,

00:19:40.280 uh, 1.00

00:19:40.780 42 year old Scottish pedophile walks into an infant school and, 1.00

00:19:44.600 uh, 0.99

00:19:44.760 shot dead 18 people,

00:19:45.980 including himself.

00:19:46.740 Most of them were young children,

00:19:47.960 you know,

00:19:48.100 age five,

00:19:48.740 six,

00:19:49.040 seven.

00:19:50.400 I don't believe that Finland is as awash with,

00:19:54.420 with guns like the United States. 0.53

00:19:56.200 The United States has the more guns than people,

00:19:58.640 as has been repeated very often as the highest number of guns per capita above Yemen,

00:20:05.480 which is kind of,

00:20:06.500 I found a bit surprising as number two.

00:20:09.240 I seriously doubt that you can buy an AR 15 style weapon in Finland at age 18.

00:20:16.040 I don't,

00:20:17.000 I don't,

00:20:17.260 well,

00:20:17.360 you'd have to pass.

00:20:18.380 So yeah,

00:20:18.580 United States has 120.5 guns per,

00:20:22.000 um,

00:20:24.040 per a hundred thousand people.

00:20:25.740 Yeah.

00:20:26.300 So it does,

00:20:27.100 it does have a lot of guns.

00:20:28.420 I've no,

00:20:29.000 I've no idea about the specifics of what it is.

00:20:31.020 You can,

00:20:31.480 uh,

00:20:31.860 yeah,

00:20:32.080 it is higher than Yemen as,

00:20:33.640 as you're saying,

00:20:34.500 uh,

00:20:35.240 Finland is ranked 10th after Cyprus,

00:20:37.460 Uruguay,

00:20:38.000 Canada,

00:20:38.440 Serbia,

00:20:38.860 Montenegro,

00:20:39.920 New Caledonia,

00:20:40.820 Yemen,

00:20:41.220 the Falkland Islands,

00:20:42.200 and America.

00:20:43.500 Right.

00:20:44.080 I would also,

00:20:45.020 I mean,

00:20:45.160 we can talk about the,

00:20:46.240 the gun aspect if you want to finish up on this psychology.

00:20:49.840 I mean,

00:20:50.420 that's,

00:20:50.720 that's the,

00:20:51.500 I mean,

00:20:51.720 that's the,

00:20:52.060 they did a detailed analysis and that is the conclusion.

00:20:55.960 Yes.

00:20:56.160 You get people that have got paranoid disorder or borderline personality disorder,

00:20:59.680 which includes narcissism.

00:21:01.100 Yes.

00:21:01.640 Substance abuse,

00:21:02.960 uh,

00:21:03.140 one case,

00:21:03.780 post-traumatic stress,

00:21:04.960 uh,

00:21:05.760 but the over three cases,

00:21:08.020 bipolar,

00:21:08.940 which that tend,

00:21:10.060 that can,

00:21:10.500 that can cause people to,

00:21:11.780 you know,

00:21:12.160 you have a sort of schizophrenic traits,

00:21:14.780 but in,

00:21:15.460 in the majority,

00:21:16.020 the majority of the cases where they've had information,

00:21:18.020 it's schizophrenia.

00:21:19.680 And so we,

00:21:20.780 you have to ask yourself what we,

00:21:22.720 um,

00:21:23.300 what we,

00:21:23.940 it's almost certain that the reason why there's rising schizophrenia,

00:21:26.760 this is a condition.

00:21:27.840 It's been argued that possibly didn't exist.

00:21:30.580 Some people have argued this.

00:21:31.900 I don't know how,

00:21:33.160 what the general view is among practitioners,

00:21:35.460 but this,

00:21:35.820 this is a new condition.

00:21:37.100 Some people argued 200 years ago,

00:21:38.640 there was nobody with,

00:21:39.740 with,

00:21:40.120 uh,

00:21:40.760 uh,

00:21:41.140 with a condition comparable to schizophrenia.

00:21:42.940 You had schizoid personality,

00:21:44.800 things like that,

00:21:45.460 but not full on schizophrenia.

00:21:47.500 So schizophrenia seems to be some new genetic mutant development,

00:21:51.300 but that,

00:21:52.360 that's,

00:21:52.880 uh,

00:21:53.400 that's the,

00:21:54.140 that's basically the,

00:21:54.880 the cause.

00:21:55.980 And as for,

00:21:57.100 yeah,

00:21:57.220 I don't know about that.

00:21:57.960 I don't really,

00:21:58.700 in a sense,

00:21:59.400 on the one hand,

00:22:00.400 your gunning debate,

00:22:02.500 which is not a debate in Britain because we just can't,

00:22:04.880 we don't have guns.

00:22:06.080 Right.

00:22:06.260 Uh,

00:22:06.420 is,

00:22:06.680 is all,

00:22:07.120 it's,

00:22:07.400 uh,

00:22:07.460 it's all immediately gets into the newspapers and whatever,

00:22:10.020 but the,

00:22:10.520 uh,

00:22:11.480 it raises further questions,

00:22:12.840 which is that if you,

00:22:13.920 to give the,

00:22:15.400 the,

00:22:15.820 the government a monopoly on guns,

00:22:17.980 um,

00:22:19.220 is high,

00:22:20.080 is very much trusting the government.

00:22:22.420 And,

00:22:22.940 um,

00:22:23.060 it's basically,

00:22:23.680 you'll,

00:22:23.860 you'll basically make,

00:22:24.500 the government is a protection racket.

00:22:26.620 And by keeping your guns,

00:22:28.240 you're kind of saying,

00:22:29.100 I don't want to be part of this protection racket,

00:22:31.140 or at least I don't want to be fully part of it.

00:22:33.040 I don't trust that you're buying.

00:22:34.940 I mean,

00:22:35.140 Ed,

00:22:35.360 that's just libertarian claptrap.

00:22:37.960 No,

00:22:38.320 no,

00:22:38.480 it's not.

00:22:39.080 Give me a break.

00:22:39.720 It's the reason why you can own a tank.

00:22:42.140 Why do,

00:22:42.640 why do these Americans want to have guns? 0.92

00:22:44.740 Why,

00:22:45.020 why,

00:22:45.320 what's it?

00:22:45.860 They must be.

00:22:46.920 Because there,

00:22:48.040 I,

00:22:48.420 there,

00:22:48.640 there's been a,

00:22:49.480 I,

00:22:49.840 first off,

00:22:50.440 America is a pioneer kind of frontier society.

00:22:54.220 And I think there is a deep tradition of,

00:22:56.580 uh,

00:22:57.340 owning a rifle and,

00:22:58.520 and hunting and being an outdoorsman and so on.

00:23:01.000 That,

00:23:01.220 that's very true.

00:23:02.360 But the kind of gun culture that has developed really over the past 20 years,

00:23:10.040 I would say,

00:23:10.560 and,

00:23:10.740 and especially over the past 10 is just simply bizarre.

00:23:15.740 Um,

00:23:16.380 owning,

00:23:17.320 you know,

00:23:17.920 they don't like it when you call them assault rifles,

00:23:20.080 but owning military grade rifles that you would never conceivably use for

00:23:25.380 hunting and going out to ranges and not even working on marksmanship,

00:23:30.220 just firing these big guns.

00:23:32.160 I mean,

00:23:32.380 this is a uniquely American thing.

00:23:35.500 Um,

00:23:36.180 and is,

00:23:37.080 I mean,

00:23:37.660 from my standpoint,

00:23:38.600 just,

00:23:38.900 just bizarre and seems to lend a lot of credence to the,

00:23:43.680 um,

00:23:44.020 you question your manhood liberal critique,

00:23:49.660 to be honest,

00:23:50.320 like,

00:23:50.580 what are you doing?

00:23:51.800 You're firing an assault rifle at a dummy and a range.

00:23:56.460 Like,

00:23:56.700 this is what you do for fun.

00:23:58.020 Why do you need this thing?

00:23:59.440 Um,

00:23:59.920 in terms of the libertarian argument about a monopoly on violence,

00:24:04.840 I mean,

00:24:05.260 the state has a monopoly on violence.

00:24:07.900 I mean,

00:24:08.580 period.

00:24:08.940 So,

00:24:09.980 uh,

00:24:10.640 like the idea that you're going to,

00:24:14.180 I don't know,

00:24:15.060 they're going to start shooting off people who make them get vaccinated or

00:24:18.920 something. 0.91

00:24:19.280 I mean,

00:24:19.420 this is insane.

00:24:20.740 It is,

00:24:21.020 but if you arm the population,

00:24:22.440 if the population is armed,

00:24:24.120 then it is less easy for a nefarious,

00:24:26.800 um,

00:24:27.300 government to,

00:24:28.840 um,

00:24:29.200 the really seriously nasty government to do,

00:24:31.580 uh,

00:24:31.720 to,

00:24:32.020 um,

00:24:32.320 you know,

00:24:32.580 to do you in.

00:24:33.680 And also the other thing is that,

00:24:34.840 um,

00:24:35.280 giving away all guns to the state assumes that the state is competent.

00:24:38.940 It assumes that the state can force law and order and everything will be

00:24:42.800 okay.

00:24:43.500 And,

00:24:43.900 uh,

00:24:44.200 well,

00:24:44.400 what if it can't now,

00:24:45.700 if you look at someone,

00:24:46.320 we are seeing that now.

00:24:47.660 I mean,

00:24:48.100 this is something that won't.

00:24:51.060 And so at the exact time where they're saying,

00:24:53.420 Oh,

00:24:53.580 you shouldn't be allowed to have serious guns that you can defend yourself

00:24:56.680 with properly.

00:24:57.540 Um,

00:24:57.980 they're also showing that they're not prepared to defend you.

00:25:00.960 I mean,

00:25:01.100 as that's happened with the black in the black lives matter hysteria,

00:25:03.460 a couple of years ago,

00:25:04.500 you've got women ringing the police and saying, 1.00

00:25:06.040 I'm in the car with my kids surrounded by.

00:25:07.880 Well,

00:25:08.500 this very event.

00:25:11.120 and you actually have both sides of the debate lashing out at the

00:25:14.700 of all day police.

00:25:15.900 I mean,

00:25:16.520 that what happened was really remarkable.

00:25:19.040 The,

00:25:19.880 there is video and testimony of the parents desperately wanting to go

00:25:25.660 save their children and being restrained by the police from doing

00:25:29.480 that.

00:25:29.720 Now that is defensible on some level.

00:25:34.180 You know,

00:25:34.480 you don't want just,

00:25:35.540 you know,

00:25:36.920 I guess vigilante justice,

00:25:38.420 if you want to call that.

00:25:39.240 I mean,

00:25:39.620 that could have made things worse.

00:25:41.320 I could defend that,

00:25:43.200 but I would only defend those actions in the context of the police storming

00:25:49.120 the building.

00:25:49.620 But what we have is the police never went into the room and they considered it

00:25:54.120 not an active shooting situation,

00:25:56.480 but a barricaded suspect or something like this that they were going to

00:26:02.480 negotiate with while they waited for more than an hour while he was

00:26:06.500 killing children in the room in,

00:26:09.320 in which he, 0.96

00:26:10.060 he,

00:26:10.380 he had barricaded.

00:26:11.360 So,

00:26:11.800 I mean,

00:26:11.960 that was just how you can justify the Valde police.

00:26:17.200 They,

00:26:17.380 the first off,

00:26:17.900 they saved some of their own children or,

00:26:19.980 or got them out very least.

00:26:21.920 Um,

00:26:22.300 and they never went into the room was actually the,

00:26:24.800 uh,

00:26:25.140 border patrol.

00:26:26.140 It was another,

00:26:26.780 it was a statewide agency that actually solved the issue.

00:26:31.300 So we just have radical incompetence and cowardice,

00:26:37.000 lack of a better word.

00:26:38.380 Those,

00:26:38.700 those, 0.95

00:26:38.880 those police officers are cowardice, 1.00

00:26:40.260 are cowards of the worst order. 0.99

00:26:42.040 And in the military situation, 1.00

00:26:42.960 they would be shot.

00:26:43.960 I'm quite right too.

00:26:44.800 I mean,

00:26:45.080 you signed up for this.

00:26:46.700 You joined police force.

00:26:48.820 You know,

00:26:49.180 we could,

00:26:49.600 we could,

00:26:49.960 we could,

00:26:50.280 we could risk,

00:26:50.740 we'd be risking our lives doing that.

00:26:52.120 Yes,

00:26:52.320 you would.

00:26:53.000 That's why you,

00:26:53.600 that's why you're in the police.

00:26:54.660 That's what you wanted to do.

00:26:55.840 And that's why you get fetid and,

00:26:57.760 and,

00:26:57.980 and you get to wear a uniform and carry a gun and people let you get on

00:27:01.400 planes early.

00:27:02.200 And they say blue lives matter.

00:27:04.540 That's why they do it because you're taking a risk.

00:27:06.700 You can't have your cake and eat it too.

00:27:08.600 But exactly.

00:27:09.380 So in that context,

00:27:10.560 then in the context where we have a,

00:27:12.320 a,

00:27:12.960 a collapse in the norms to which we're used in society, 0.92

00:27:16.280 where we can't trust the police because they're infiltrated by cowards.

00:27:21.180 And, 0.93

00:27:21.740 and the people that aren't interested,

00:27:23.500 you know,

00:27:23.660 aren't prepared to do their jobs, 0.99

00:27:24.940 infiltrated by incompetent ideological nonsense, 0.95

00:27:27.840 infiltrated by the, 0.78

00:27:28.660 then people even more than ever need to have a weaponry because they need to be able

00:27:34.380 to defend themselves because they can't rely on the police to do so.

00:27:37.160 And that's an argument that is more convincing to me now.

00:27:40.380 than it would have been 20 years ago,

00:27:42.120 as you're seeing the gradual South Africanization of parts of the United States,

00:27:47.600 then,

00:27:48.440 well,

00:27:48.920 it's then more than more than ever.

00:27:50.800 They need,

00:27:51.480 people need to have,

00:27:52.280 um,

00:27:52.760 weapons. 0.58

00:27:53.220 If we have more spiteful mutants,

00:27:56.260 you know,

00:27:57.000 in your term in the world,

00:27:58.700 don't we need to prevent them from buying assault rifles?

00:28:02.080 Well,

00:28:02.400 we, 1.00

00:28:02.740 or we need to have assault rifles in order to shoot them when they attempt to attack us. 0.99

00:28:06.400 Well, 1.00

00:28:06.660 that's just insane.

00:28:07.980 I mean,

00:28:08.220 this is,

00:28:09.300 that,

00:28:09.520 that's madness.

00:28:11.460 Well,

00:28:11.660 how can we,

00:28:12.360 how could,

00:28:13.160 you've got to balance those two things.

00:28:14.940 You have a society that's degenerating into chaos because of spiteful mutants in part. 1.00

00:28:19.880 Um,

00:28:20.160 and you have a society which,

00:28:22.340 uh,

00:28:22.780 and therefore people need weapons to defend themselves in that chaos of that zombification that we've got.

00:28:29.340 It's,

00:28:29.700 it's fail.

00:28:30.660 These things keep happening.

00:28:32.200 No one's defending themselves from spree shooting.

00:28:34.900 Spree shootings are a regular occurrence.

00:28:37.820 No,

00:28:37.940 I'm talking about,

00:28:38.500 I'm talking about the,

00:28:39.220 the ability to have weapons.

00:28:40.500 That's,

00:28:41.000 that's the,

00:28:41.440 the issue there.

00:28:42.640 A separate issue then is,

00:28:43.940 is that we have a rising number of seemingly of these schizophrenics, 0.72

00:28:47.060 um,

00:28:47.600 and this general,

00:28:49.320 I don't know,

00:28:49.640 part of it could just be social contagion that goes on every so often where,

00:28:52.560 what,

00:28:52.700 what,

00:28:53.060 what should I do if I'm a schizophrenic,

00:28:54.960 uh,

00:28:55.540 embittered man,

00:28:56.620 I'll, 1.00

00:28:57.080 I'll go on a spree shooting. 0.99

00:28:58.640 Uh, 0.99

00:28:58.840 and in particular,

00:28:59.420 I'll,

00:28:59.820 I'll go for schools because you know,

00:29:01.660 they're,

00:29:01.940 they're easy targets,

00:29:03.140 which is the most appalling thing,

00:29:06.940 of course.

00:29:07.640 Um,

00:29:08.120 and,

00:29:08.620 uh,

00:29:09.440 yeah,

00:29:09.660 I don't,

00:29:10.180 I,

00:29:10.400 I would have,

00:29:11.100 I would have thought that they should,

00:29:12.460 I,

00:29:12.680 in all practicality about it,

00:29:14.420 they should,

00:29:14.840 they are in Finland very careful about who has a gun license.

00:29:18.240 Now the next thing that the counter argument I'll get then is if you really want to have a gun,

00:29:22.460 you'll be able to get hold of one illegally or whatever.

00:29:24.460 And I,

00:29:24.780 I can't,

00:29:25.440 I can't comment on that,

00:29:26.460 but,

00:29:26.960 uh,

00:29:27.200 but in this country,

00:29:28.300 they're very,

00:29:28.800 very clear about it.

00:29:29.500 If you have a criminal record,

00:29:31.120 you,

00:29:31.440 uh,

00:29:31.780 of,

00:29:32.220 of,

00:29:32.720 that has required as evidenced,

00:29:34.500 you know,

00:29:35.000 not,

00:29:35.180 I'm not talking about like fraud or something,

00:29:36.760 but if you have a criminal record,

00:29:37.800 like even for something like serious drink driving,

00:29:39.900 um,

00:29:40.980 which evidence is that you're one unstable kind of person.

00:29:43.280 They will,

00:29:43.560 they take away your gun license permanently.

00:29:46.120 Yeah.

00:29:46.680 Um,

00:29:47.180 and,

00:29:47.680 and,

00:29:48.160 and,

00:29:48.380 and that's,

00:29:49.100 I think that's,

00:29:49.800 that's how it should be.

00:29:50.560 I think if you've got,

00:29:51.260 if you've had a diet,

00:29:51.900 they should want to know if you're going to have a gun license,

00:29:53.420 have you been diagnosed with a serious mental illness?

00:29:56.200 Uh,

00:29:56.580 have you had to spend time in a mental institution,

00:29:59.480 anything like that?

00:30:00.280 And it should preclude you from having a gun license.

00:30:02.660 I totally agree.

00:30:04.120 Um,

00:30:04.400 do they not have such checks?

00:30:06.160 No,

00:30:06.540 they don't have background checks and you can easily buy a gun at a gun show.

00:30:10.300 That's,

00:30:10.620 that's really the issue.

00:30:12.540 And,

00:30:13.060 uh,

00:30:13.820 again,

00:30:14.280 there's this,

00:30:15.280 I mean,

00:30:15.620 I,

00:30:15.780 I could go into the second amendment itself if you want to,

00:30:19.720 to get more context,

00:30:21.560 but.

00:30:21.740 Who do you think will start is telling me that felons can't own guns in,

00:30:25.120 in America.

00:30:25.600 So that's,

00:30:26.340 that's fair enough.

00:30:27.220 But of course,

00:30:27.780 this person didn't have a criminal record.

00:30:29.620 That's the problem.

00:30:30.300 No,

00:30:30.560 he may have had,

00:30:31.780 he may have seen doctors who,

00:30:33.920 who were concerned,

00:30:35.040 um,

00:30:35.940 or who,

00:30:36.360 who,

00:30:36.700 who,

00:30:37.400 uh,

00:30:37.600 thought who,

00:30:38.140 who diagnosed some condition or other,

00:30:40.180 and that should preclude him from having a gun.

00:30:43.620 Yeah.

00:30:44.080 I mean,

00:30:44.320 look,

00:30:44.780 there,

00:30:45.180 there are some things that you can't stop.

00:30:49.020 I mean,

00:30:49.300 just to be realistic,

00:30:50.700 there,

00:30:51.120 there is a,

00:30:51.740 a type of mental illness and deep solely social alienation that might not be

00:30:57.420 picked up upon because look, 0.97

00:30:59.900 the fact is a lot of 16 year olds are kind of screwed up and don't know who 0.83

00:31:03.540 they are and are alienated and bullied or what, 0.96

00:31:05.800 you know,

00:31:06.280 so you,

00:31:06.960 you know,

00:31:08.220 but I mean,

00:31:09.120 you can easily,

00:31:11.260 I mean,

00:31:11.560 you don't need an a,

00:31:13.400 like if you're going to engage in self-defense,

00:31:16.080 I mean,

00:31:17.140 unless you're fighting off a drug cartel or like an invading army,

00:31:21.460 you don't need an assault rifle.

00:31:24.740 I mean,

00:31:25.960 the best,

00:31:26.660 the best gun for self-defense is a pump action shotgun.

00:31:31.460 And it's,

00:31:32.260 it's the,

00:31:33.120 the safest gun that you can use for self-defense.

00:31:36.540 If you're firing a handgun,

00:31:38.000 I mean,

00:31:39.020 if you live in an,

00:31:39.720 in an urban area,

00:31:40.800 you're living in an apartment,

00:31:41.940 you're firing a hair handgun.

00:31:43.300 I mean,

00:31:43.460 you are absolutely endangering everyone around you.

00:31:46.420 The bullets go through walls pretty easily.

00:31:50.560 A pump action shotgun is what you need.

00:31:53.380 I mean,

00:31:53.520 we're,

00:31:53.780 we're not in a mad max scenario where we need AR 15s.

00:31:58.700 I mean,

00:31:58.940 that,

00:31:59.000 I mean,

00:32:00.620 it's not that bad.

00:32:02.060 And I think some people can share,

00:32:03.640 not,

00:32:03.860 not this year.

00:32:04.540 No,

00:32:04.940 no.

00:32:06.380 And you're not going to win against the government.

00:32:08.660 I mean, 0.99

00:32:09.060 you might win against the Evalde police because they're the incompetent boobs. 1.00

00:32:14.180 But if the government wants to do something to you, 0.98

00:32:18.340 they are going to overpower you.

00:32:20.520 To be honest,

00:32:21.220 I think that,

00:32:21.680 I think the children at that,

00:32:22.940 at that elementary school could have overpowered the Evalde police.

00:32:26.400 I mean,

00:32:26.660 I think these are,

00:32:27.900 these are just feeble,

00:32:29.800 feeble. 0.97

00:32:30.980 It's non-men. 0.91

00:32:32.920 It is,

00:32:33.820 it is pretty appalling.

00:32:36.420 I mean,

00:32:36.760 look,

00:32:37.660 this is the text.

00:32:39.360 It is two sentences or just one sentence.

00:32:43.080 The second amendment,

00:32:44.960 1791,

00:32:46.040 a well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state,

00:32:50.680 the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

00:32:54.540 Now you hear a lot of that,

00:32:56.320 the right of the people to keep and bear arms and,

00:32:59.040 and shall not be infringed.

00:33:01.040 So it,

00:33:01.500 it seems to give you this,

00:33:03.220 it's this universal God's given right.

00:33:05.860 That's out of context.

00:33:07.600 No,

00:33:08.060 that's out of context.

00:33:09.040 I'm sorry.

00:33:09.480 Exactly.

00:33:10.060 It's very clear.

00:33:10.740 Militia,

00:33:11.620 militia.

00:33:12.220 It's exactly.

00:33:13.140 And free state is actually very important.

00:33:15.320 And this is,

00:33:16.000 I don't know if you listen to my monologue on this,

00:33:18.200 but so the original draft of the second amendment was actually a free

00:33:22.900 country.

00:33:23.880 So in,

00:33:24.620 in the United States,

00:33:25.380 for whatever reason,

00:33:26.880 whereas the words like nation and state and country and federalism,

00:33:32.360 they're,

00:33:32.460 they're in liberal,

00:33:33.500 they're kind of mixed up from what you use in Europe,

00:33:35.540 but it was a,

00:33:36.520 a free country.

00:33:37.520 The idea was that these militias,

00:33:40.980 these state militias that actually did eventuate into the police force.

00:33:45.540 In fact,

00:33:46.800 that they could be used by the federal government to stave off,

00:33:51.260 say the whiskey rebellion or go to Canada or something.

00:33:55.020 And so that's what it was about.

00:33:59.540 Now there was a,

00:34:00.300 there was a controversy and like Patrick Henry was on the side of the free state.

00:34:04.620 So he wanted to maintain the police forces in the state so that they wouldn't be used abroad or,

00:34:12.760 or,

00:34:12.780 or federalized.

00:34:14.340 And it was a major contention.

00:34:16.240 And a lot of his motivation seemed to be that if you,

00:34:18.820 if you send the militia outside of the state to go invade Canada or something,

00:34:22.180 that there would be slave revolts and chaos.

00:34:25.140 So it was a political compromise based on power relations.

00:34:30.540 It was never a kind of God given right.

00:34:34.340 And,

00:34:34.420 and also like you don't have a God given right to a rocket launcher or a,

00:34:41.200 a tank.

00:34:41.800 They,

00:34:42.020 the government will not let you do that.

00:34:44.160 So this notion that there's a like inherent God given right to one of these firearms is, 0.99

00:34:50.280 is just ridiculous.

00:34:51.240 My understanding of what you just read is the founding father's view is that the police should be allowed to have guns. 0.91

00:34:58.960 Right.

00:34:59.480 But that's it.

00:35:00.900 So that's,

00:35:01.500 that's what a militia eventually became.

00:35:03.520 I became president.

00:35:04.440 And I said that like in England or like in England until relatively recently,

00:35:07.860 the police have to have truncheons.

00:35:11.620 Then,

00:35:12.160 then people rightly say,

00:35:13.860 no,

00:35:14.280 that's unconstitutional.

00:35:15.680 The police should,

00:35:17.180 should not be made to have truncheons. 0.97

00:35:18.480 It's incredible thinking.

00:35:19.180 Now you get police with guns all over the place in the UK,

00:35:21.500 but in,

00:35:22.740 when I was a kid,

00:35:23.240 they just had truncheons and guns.

00:35:26.020 And anyway,

00:35:26.840 so they say that the police should be armed.

00:35:28.680 That's what it says.

00:35:29.480 Right.

00:35:30.520 Now I,

00:35:31.980 I look,

00:35:32.840 if I were president or a Senator or whatever,

00:35:36.080 I would want to codify gun rights in a sane way.

00:35:40.780 So it would be gun control.

00:35:42.420 So I,

00:35:44.220 I do think that being an outdoorsman and so on is,

00:35:48.880 is part of our deep history and,

00:35:51.460 and should be preserved.

00:35:53.720 I do think you have a right in some way to defend your home.

00:35:59.920 Um,

00:36:00.840 but you don't have a right to own a stinger missile or go out like Scarface with two machine guns on each arm firing away at an intruder.

00:36:09.940 I mean,

00:36:10.100 I'm,

00:36:10.320 I'm sorry,

00:36:10.920 but like there,

00:36:11.940 there is going to be some kind of gun control.

00:36:14.940 And if it could be just be codified for,

00:36:18.340 you know,

00:36:19.160 a,

00:36:19.480 a handgun for home use,

00:36:22.020 a pump action shotgun is certainly the best home defense device.

00:36:26.980 And that being an outdoorsman is,

00:36:29.920 can be codified into law that you have a right to do this.

00:36:32.720 This is part of being an American is that you get to go hunt stuff.

00:36:36.680 Now,

00:36:36.940 would that solve the problem?

00:36:38.740 There'd be no more crime or whatever.

00:36:40.540 Of course not,

00:36:41.180 but it's just a reasonable solution.

00:36:44.560 And I,

00:36:45.240 I just think the,

00:36:46.220 the right on this is just deranged on,

00:36:49.100 on some level.

00:36:50.000 I mean,

00:36:50.560 the,

00:36:50.880 the kind of gun culture that they are now engaging in is bizarre.

00:36:56.980 And I don't think you quite grasp it because you don't live here.

00:37:01.940 Um,

00:37:02.540 and it was just,

00:37:03.920 of course,

00:37:04.080 not your fault.

00:37:05.180 Um,

00:37:05.700 and then also the kind of just,

00:37:07.680 it is,

00:37:07.860 it is my fault.

00:37:08.600 I've made strenuous efforts to not have to move to America.

00:37:12.580 It's entirely my fault.

00:37:14.480 Oh,

00:37:15.080 it's actually kind of good.

00:37:17.400 It's not,

00:37:18.020 I think sometimes when I talk to you,

00:37:20.180 it's almost like you believe there's like a BLM riot in every neighborhood on

00:37:24.500 Saturdays or something.

00:37:26.020 Well,

00:37:26.240 there is.

00:37:26.660 It's like,

00:37:26.920 it's like,

00:37:27.340 it's like that movie,

00:37:28.280 the purge or something.

00:37:29.840 We're like,

00:37:30.580 Oh,

00:37:30.840 it's 3 PM Saturday.

00:37:32.480 All right,

00:37:32.740 get the kids.

00:37:33.760 That's the impression I get.

00:37:34.960 You told me that a flat that I stayed in,

00:37:37.660 in Chicago was ransacked.

00:37:39.800 It's true.

00:37:40.760 That is,

00:37:41.600 that's like,

00:37:42.280 that's close.

00:37:42.940 That's too close to home.

00:37:43.940 Sorry.

00:37:44.900 I'm not,

00:37:45.340 we got out of there.

00:37:47.900 Um,

00:37:48.520 it's true.

00:37:49.380 Who knows what would have happened in the BLM?

00:37:51.140 I'm glad I left,

00:37:51.860 but,

00:37:52.240 um,

00:37:53.280 it's not that bad.

00:37:56.100 And,

00:37:56.840 um,

00:37:57.360 and gun gun culture is deranged.

00:37:59.900 And then just the ideology around the second amendment that,

00:38:03.800 you know,

00:38:04.260 God wants you to own a handgun or something.

00:38:06.880 I don't know where this is possibly coming from.

00:38:10.620 It's actually coming from the,

00:38:12.000 the ideology itself kind of emerged in the 1970s to,

00:38:15.100 uh,

00:38:16.000 to answer the question.

00:38:16.920 But yeah,

00:38:18.000 I mean,

00:38:18.360 and again,

00:38:18.960 I don't know how we're going to solve this.

00:38:20.760 And,

00:38:21.260 you know,

00:38:21.640 the NRA was a very powerful lobby.

00:38:24.380 No,

00:38:24.580 no question.

00:38:25.260 The NRA actually filed for bankruptcy.

00:38:26.900 It's been attacked,

00:38:28.720 um,

00:38:29.680 through lawsuits,

00:38:30.600 which I think are justified to some extent.

00:38:33.280 There,

00:38:33.580 there was a lot of self-dealing in the NRA.

00:38:36.420 Of course,

00:38:36.660 I don't,

00:38:37.300 I don't know all the details,

00:38:38.560 but,

00:38:38.740 um,

00:38:39.800 it is,

00:38:40.820 and it certainly has political enemies,

00:38:42.500 but it,

00:38:43.880 you know,

00:38:44.520 it is bankrupt,

00:38:45.300 but I,

00:38:45.660 I don't even think the NRA is necessary at this point.

00:38:48.360 Um,

00:38:48.900 the mass of Republican voters are fanatical about this issue.

00:38:55.780 There,

00:38:56.020 there's no need to lobby anyone.

00:38:58.460 They,

00:38:58.600 they will, 0.97

00:38:59.140 they will go nuts. 0.93

00:39:01.600 It's symbolic of their,

00:39:03.300 if their,

00:39:03.920 a sense of power.

00:39:04.800 I mean,

00:39:05.140 that's,

00:39:05.700 yeah,

00:39:05.840 it's a trite thing to say,

00:39:07.360 but it's almost,

00:39:07.780 it is almost Freudian.

00:39:09.100 And it's,

00:39:09.840 I mean,

00:39:10.060 that's why,

00:39:10.460 that's why it was considered in the,

00:39:12.160 um,

00:39:12.500 the good Friday agreement in the UK in 1998,

00:39:15.160 or the,

00:39:15.760 they,

00:39:16.100 the,

00:39:16.900 uh,

00:39:17.500 the D you, 1.00

00:39:18.320 the right,

00:39:18.960 the unionists wanted the IRA to destroy their guns and they wanted to film them doing it.

00:39:25.780 And the IRA didn't want this because they felt it was,

00:39:29.140 it was humiliating to have to destroy their guns.

00:39:31.300 Symbolic castration.

00:39:32.460 It was symbolic castration.

00:39:33.880 It was a sign of their disempowerment and it was bad enough that they should have to destroy their guns,

00:39:38.000 but the idea that they should be filmed doing it,

00:39:39.880 uh,

00:39:40.500 and people should be able to watch this,

00:39:42.280 uh,

00:39:42.820 was just absolutely,

00:39:43.900 um,

00:39:44.520 wrong.

00:39:44.880 I think there was some sort of negotiation that it was done in front of various witnesses,

00:39:48.000 but it was not filmed.

00:39:49.760 Um,

00:39:50.200 and I,

00:39:50.860 and I think that it's a,

00:39:51.880 in a,

00:39:52.620 in a polarized society,

00:39:54.600 uh,

00:39:55.120 the gun and the,

00:39:56.900 the ability to hold these guns has become symbolic of the government is not touching me.

00:40:03.280 You know,

00:40:03.920 the guy of me being autonomous and of me in watching my,

00:40:08.340 my country,

00:40:09.340 my once proud land being destroyed and changing beyond recognition and no longer being as important as it was.

00:40:16.480 And therefore means I'm no longer as important as I was.

00:40:19.120 I'm watching my own disempowerment.

00:40:21.340 At least I have my guns.

00:40:23.880 Um,

00:40:24.200 and,

00:40:24.600 um,

00:40:24.820 and,

00:40:25.180 um,

00:40:25.320 they're not going to,

00:40:26.100 they're not going to bloody well take that away.

00:40:28.120 I agree.

00:40:29.200 And I,

00:40:29.580 I think it,

00:40:30.560 it might even be more specific because the,

00:40:33.360 so much of the,

00:40:35.440 what we think of as conservatism arose in the 1970s and arose post segregation.

00:40:44.120 And basically was the people who lost the segregation battle creating the religious right and the gun culture.

00:40:54.820 I mean,

00:40:55.020 it,

00:40:55.200 it's a very,

00:40:56.200 it's a significant thing.

00:40:57.320 And I,

00:40:57.560 I don't think they can be divorced from these things.

00:41:00.400 So,

00:41:00.680 that's a very good point.

00:41:01.920 Yeah.

00:41:02.100 They've,

00:41:02.340 they've,

00:41:02.580 they've,

00:41:03.000 they've been humiliated in the sixties with the,

00:41:06.160 with all this,

00:41:06.800 uh,

00:41:07.240 desegregation.

00:41:08.220 They feel utterly disempowered in the pool.

00:41:10.060 And so they deal with it by clinging to guns,

00:41:13.380 which give them a sense of power or abortion. 0.99

00:41:16.080 Remember,

00:41:16.500 I mean,

00:41:16.880 as a,

00:41:17.440 yeah,

00:41:17.620 I mean,

00:41:17.880 the Roe v.

00:41:18.500 Wade,

00:41:18.700 the Southern Baptist convention endorsed the Roe v.

00:41:21.360 Wade decision.

00:41:22.780 And when it happened,

00:41:24.060 and then by the late seventies,

00:41:27.140 there was this pro-life movement led by former segregation,

00:41:30.320 segregationist Jerry Falwell.

00:41:32.140 So it's a,

00:41:32.680 it's a kind of losing the real battle and then adopting these symbolic battles and saying that,

00:41:40.040 you know,

00:41:40.840 uh,

00:41:41.080 despite what it says in the Bible,

00:41:43.060 you know,

00:41:43.600 God is,

00:41:44.740 is against abortion and,

00:41:46.720 and,

00:41:46.980 uh,

00:41:47.280 there's,

00:41:47.720 there's an unborn life or something.

00:41:49.420 Another way of putting it.

00:41:50.480 I mean,

00:41:50.600 if you're disempowered,

00:41:51.580 if you have no power,

00:41:53.020 if you, 1.00

00:41:53.280 you're just a wretched human being with no, 1.00

00:41:55.580 no power. 1.00

00:41:56.480 We humans are all of us evolved to fight for power and prestige and status.

00:42:00.300 Then the little things become important.

00:42:02.600 It's like in prison.

00:42:03.800 Yeah.

00:42:03.940 They want to sleep on the top bunk.

00:42:06.040 You know,

00:42:06.220 I'm in prison and I have absolutely nothing,

00:42:07.820 but at least I'm not on the bottom bunk.

00:42:10.040 Uh,

00:42:10.640 and,

00:42:11.020 and it's,

00:42:11.700 it's,

00:42:12.000 it's childish.

00:42:12.800 Who cares?

00:42:13.520 But it does matter in that context.

00:42:15.120 I mean,

00:42:15.320 think about when you're a child,

00:42:16.620 uh,

00:42:17.260 how much little things that really aren't in kids,

00:42:20.000 uh,

00:42:20.980 um,

00:42:21.280 um,

00:42:21.600 um,

00:42:21.620 in the general scheme of things seem to matter.

00:42:25.080 Oh God.

00:42:25.460 If I give,

00:42:26.420 if,

00:42:26.760 if one of my children gets like a larger slice of cake,

00:42:29.860 they can cry about it.

00:42:32.740 By a nano millimeter.

00:42:35.880 It's as if I like dispossessed them or something.

00:42:39.920 Uh,

00:42:40.240 as an only child,

00:42:42.300 I find this very,

00:42:43.260 very difficult to get my head around,

00:42:44.460 but yeah,

00:42:44.800 it's right.

00:42:45.260 Cause you just got the whole cake.

00:42:46.580 Yeah.

00:42:47.060 Absolute,

00:42:47.540 absolute extreme.

00:42:49.260 They're very left wing children.

00:42:50.640 Absolute extreme equality.

00:42:52.160 They,

00:42:53.140 they,

00:42:53.820 they,

00:42:54.500 uh,

00:42:54.680 they,

00:42:54.920 they seem to desire.

00:42:56.760 Yes.

00:42:57.300 Kids are little monsters.

00:42:58.220 Mr.

00:42:58.520 Finkelstein.

00:42:59.020 Yes.

00:42:59.160 You're quite right.

00:43:00.340 Yeah.

00:43:00.960 All right.

00:43:01.500 We actually have a,

00:43:02.720 a ton of super chats.

00:43:04.440 It's awesome.

00:43:05.620 Uh,

00:43:06.160 let me get to these.

00:43:08.520 So,

00:43:08.960 uh,

00:43:09.480 this is,

00:43:10.060 I'll just go through them in order.

00:43:12.640 Uh,

00:43:13.100 yeah,

00:43:13.340 we almost have a hundred bucks of super chats here.

00:43:15.460 Okay.

00:43:17.340 Um,

00:43:18.220 Yehuda Finkelstein,

00:43:19.840 um,

00:43:20.320 Richard,

00:43:20.620 was the recent statement by the 99 year old Henry Kissinger that Ukraine must

00:43:27.440 seed land in a peace deal with Russia,

00:43:29.360 that of an elder statesman or merely that of a very elderly man.

00:43:34.840 Um,

00:43:35.740 I,

00:43:37.500 it's,

00:43:38.580 it's funny.

00:43:39.020 I more or less agree with Kissinger and I was saying,

00:43:44.500 you can go back on my Twitter feed,

00:43:46.520 um,

00:43:47.260 days after the invasion of Ukraine.

00:43:50.620 I,

00:43:51.220 I was calling for a German solution to the Ukraine question.

00:43:55.660 So what I mean is divide Ukraine,

00:43:58.360 enjoy Western and Eastern half,

00:44:00.400 recognize the reality of,

00:44:02.680 of just geography,

00:44:03.720 but also recognize that there,

00:44:05.700 there is going to be much more Russian sympathy in the Donbass region and so on.

00:44:09.720 Um,

00:44:10.160 and that the Western half could be a part of NATO and we would just reenter the cold war.

00:44:15.360 So,

00:44:15.660 I mean,

00:44:15.940 I agree with Kissinger. 0.55

00:44:17.680 It,

00:44:17.900 the,

00:44:18.080 the way that I've seen it,

00:44:19.220 I mean,

00:44:19.380 all the kind of Z people in Russia files,

00:44:22.460 they're basically being like,

00:44:24.180 Oh,

00:44:24.380 we,

00:44:24.620 we hated Kissinger a week ago,

00:44:26.320 but now he's based or,

00:44:27.860 or whatever.

00:44:28.620 He's,

00:44:29.180 he's telling the truth to the West.

00:44:31.380 Um,

00:44:32.080 I,

00:44:32.360 I see it very differently.

00:44:33.600 Yeah.

00:44:33.740 I do see it more as an elder statesman,

00:44:35.900 um,

00:44:37.340 as someone who's reaching a reasonable solution.

00:44:40.440 Now I,

00:44:41.260 I understand why a Ukrainian right now would say we will see nothing. 0.98

00:44:46.100 Well,

00:44:46.440 nothing,

00:44:47.020 you know,

00:44:47.140 they invaded us.

00:44:48.100 They're to blame. 1.00

00:44:49.620 Go to hell. 1.00

00:44:50.580 I get that from an emotional response, 1.00

00:44:53.480 but,

00:44:53.860 um,

00:44:54.560 looking at it as a non Ukrainian and non Russian,

00:44:57.220 um,

00:44:58.260 I,

00:44:58.560 I think dividing the country is a sensible solution.

00:45:01.720 It would prevent further bloodshed.

00:45:04.040 I don't want to see a 10 year guerrilla campaign or something like that.

00:45:07.880 I would much rather see a hardly ideal,

00:45:11.220 but less bloody division of the country.

00:45:17.980 You can jump in anytime if you want to.

00:45:19.740 I'm very,

00:45:21.500 very bored of talking about Ukraine.

00:45:23.080 I'm okay.

00:45:24.760 Um,

00:45:26.440 Yehuda again,

00:45:27.340 Ed,

00:45:27.780 if you can't find real English beer in the Arctic where you live,

00:45:32.380 the American malt liquor,

00:45:34.180 old English 800 is a good substitute.

00:45:37.500 Well,

00:45:37.660 I'd like to be able to find old English 800 here in Northern Finland. 0.99

00:45:41.000 I think I'm,

00:45:41.940 I can find London pride and Kentish ale and this one shop,

00:45:47.140 but it does involve getting my bike stolen.

00:45:48.600 Um,

00:45:50.120 but,

00:45:50.880 but,

00:45:51.360 um,

00:45:51.980 not that I ever paid for that bike.

00:45:53.240 I inherited it,

00:45:53.900 but the point is that,

00:45:55.640 uh,

00:45:55.820 now I have to go and get one.

00:45:56.900 My daughter probably won't let me have her old one. 0.99

00:45:59.640 You inherited a bike.

00:46:00.920 Wow.

00:46:01.420 It was my wife's cast off bike.

00:46:03.420 Oh,

00:46:03.740 okay.

00:46:04.080 Um,

00:46:04.860 so,

00:46:05.260 so,

00:46:06.280 uh,

00:46:06.440 yeah,

00:46:06.760 so,

00:46:07.000 so,

00:46:07.300 yeah,

00:46:07.640 I can get it here.

00:46:08.720 I can,

00:46:08.980 but it's just,

00:46:09.540 uh,

00:46:09.800 it's,

00:46:10.480 it's increasingly complicated because I like shopping at little because it's the

00:46:14.100 only shop where you're not being overcharged severely,

00:46:16.920 but yet they just,

00:46:19.220 you can't rely on them.

00:46:20.360 They just have things in for a bit and they don't have them anymore.

00:46:23.380 It's the nature of little,

00:46:24.260 I'm afraid.

00:46:24.980 You don't have little in America or anything like it,

00:46:27.000 but if you do,

00:46:28.020 you know what I'm talking about.

00:46:28.660 Well,

00:46:28.820 I'm sure we have things like it.

00:46:30.180 Yeah.

00:46:30.780 Um,

00:46:31.980 yeah,

00:46:32.520 I,

00:46:33.020 I like a good Paul honor,

00:46:34.640 um,

00:46:35.920 half of Eisen in the summer.

00:46:37.200 That really hits the spot for me.

00:46:39.900 Um,

00:46:40.900 okay.

00:46:42.360 Uh,

00:46:42.960 Harold are modern depictions of pre-Christian Germanic religion intentionally

00:46:49.640 designed to make whites feel like savages that were civilized by 0.97

00:46:53.440 Christianity. 0.99

00:46:54.580 Okay.

00:46:55.600 That's an interesting question.

00:46:58.180 Um,

00:46:58.840 I,

00:46:59.140 that might be in part,

00:47:00.780 at least a reference to the Northman film.

00:47:04.440 And I do,

00:47:06.280 I mean,

00:47:06.580 you,

00:47:06.860 you can go look at,

00:47:08.580 I,

00:47:08.740 I just wrote this up on Twitter,

00:47:10.180 but I,

00:47:10.820 I do think that there was a kind of symbolic messaging in the Northman.

00:47:14.660 Um,

00:47:15.200 keep in mind that the,

00:47:16.920 the,

00:47:17.400 the protagonist antagonist both killed each other before a volcano.

00:47:22.760 Um,

00:47:23.240 so it was almost as if,

00:47:24.220 uh,

00:47:24.380 it was a kind of sacrifice to Vulcan or Yahweh.

00:47:28.060 And there,

00:47:28.300 there was a kind of subtext of the rise of Christianity in the Northman.

00:47:32.440 So,

00:47:32.880 um,

00:47:33.680 Yahweh is a volcanic God to a large degree.

00:47:36.800 So I,

00:47:37.120 I do think that there is a kind of depiction of that.

00:47:39.560 Now,

00:47:40.580 no doubt the Germanic religions were a bit rough around the edges.

00:47:47.920 Uh,

00:47:48.400 but,

00:47:48.960 uh,

00:47:49.180 yeah,

00:47:49.380 I,

00:47:49.640 I,

00:47:49.780 I do think that that's,

00:47:51.220 there,

00:47:51.460 there is a kind of subtle messaging going on.

00:47:53.460 But it was more of the Romans.

00:47:55.280 It was the Romans that portrayed them as particularly savage.

00:47:58.520 So it's,

00:47:59.280 it's Roman propaganda with regard to Celtic religion and also with regard to,

00:48:03.420 uh,

00:48:04.140 the Germanic religion,

00:48:04.860 I think.

00:48:05.720 That is. 1.00

00:48:06.080 That damn Claudius. 1.00

00:48:07.220 Is that, 1.00

00:48:07.720 yeah,

00:48:08.020 it's,

00:48:08.260 it's,

00:48:08.440 it's Roman propaganda,

00:48:09.460 I think,

00:48:09.640 more so than Christian propaganda.

00:48:10.940 It's pre-Christian Roman propaganda.

00:48:13.240 Right.

00:48:13.520 But keep in mind as well.

00:48:15.500 I mean,

00:48:16.140 we don't know.

00:48:19.240 We really kind of don't know much of anything about the Germanic pre-Christian religions.

00:48:25.440 And I say that because what we know of them,

00:48:28.640 we get through Christians. 1.00

00:48:31.800 So I,

00:48:33.120 I don't,

00:48:33.620 it's,

00:48:34.200 it's kind of like looking,

00:48:36.360 I don't know what's a good metaphor for this.

00:48:38.620 Looking through a glass darkly to be sure.

00:48:41.380 I knew you were going to say that.

00:48:42.260 But,

00:48:42.420 but,

00:48:42.940 but,

00:48:43.360 uh,

00:48:43.580 I think the nearest we can,

00:48:44.860 we can get there is probably something like Hinduism.

00:48:46.920 It was probably something akin.

00:48:48.780 Something like the modern,

00:48:51.180 the modern,

00:48:51.540 the modern day major pagan religion that has survived is,

00:48:54.780 uh,

00:48:55.300 is,

00:48:55.720 is,

00:48:55.900 is Hinduism.

00:48:56.660 So it would have been,

00:48:57.440 would have probably things in common with aspects of that.

00:49:01.800 Right.

00:49:03.220 Okay.

00:49:04.220 Um,

00:49:05.140 again,

00:49:05.500 we've got a lot here,

00:49:06.240 so I'll,

00:49:06.920 we'll,

00:49:07.320 we'll,

00:49:07.400 we'll go through them.

00:49:07.940 Yehuda again for five,

00:49:09.540 a two 18 year old deviance to mass shootings.

00:49:12.920 Is it time to regulate internet and video game use by children and teens?

00:49:17.160 Much as societies regulate alcohol and tobacco consumption for young people.

00:49:20.720 Well,

00:49:21.340 you know how I'm going to answer this,

00:49:22.860 but,

00:49:23.060 um,

00:49:23.360 Ed,

00:49:23.600 do you want to jump on that?

00:49:25.780 Uh,

00:49:26.900 well,

00:49:27.180 we do,

00:49:27.720 we do regulate it.

00:49:28.660 I mean,

00:49:28.840 you,

00:49:28.960 you have 18 certificate computer games and,

00:49:31.700 and,

00:49:32.100 and things like that.

00:49:33.620 So,

00:49:33.920 uh,

00:49:34.400 if you're saying,

00:49:35.300 should a computer game basically not be allowed to involve,

00:49:37.940 violence.

00:49:39.260 Is that what we're,

00:49:40.020 what we're,

00:49:40.360 what we're saying?

00:49:41.080 It should all be,

00:49:41.480 he might be saying that.

00:49:42.560 I don't,

00:49:42.920 yeah,

00:49:43.040 there should all be puzzle games like dizzy and the yoke folk.

00:49:46.700 Then,

00:49:47.220 uh,

00:49:47.480 yeah,

00:49:47.640 why not?

00:49:48.060 Yeah.

00:49:48.160 I,

00:49:50.660 yeah,

00:49:51.340 I mean,

00:49:51.840 I'm,

00:49:52.440 I'm not necessarily against the depiction of violence.

00:49:57.220 And I think you could make an,

00:49:59.900 an argument that,

00:50:01.120 you know,

00:50:02.900 fantasizing about violence makes you less violent.

00:50:06.060 In fact,

00:50:07.280 that,

00:50:08.200 you know,

00:50:08.860 you,

00:50:09.240 you get it out of your system as it were in that way.

00:50:12.720 Um,

00:50:13.000 but no,

00:50:13.620 I,

00:50:13.800 I think there's a,

00:50:15.300 a,

00:50:15.640 a deeper issue and yeah,

00:50:17.740 I,

00:50:18.200 I think absolutely it's time to seriously regulate the internet,

00:50:21.880 but the very least you should regulate it among your own family.

00:50:26.260 I mean,

00:50:27.300 I don't know.

00:50:28.120 18 year olds,

00:50:29.400 they should be obsessed with baseball or,

00:50:32.720 or whatever.

00:50:33.920 They,

00:50:34.060 they,

00:50:34.480 they don't need to be just endlessly discussing politics in the most toxic manner possible.

00:50:40.420 Unfortunate,

00:50:41.700 which many of them are.

00:50:44.300 Um,

00:50:45.300 okay.

00:50:47.420 Uh,

00:50:48.220 Ryan Thompson.

00:50:49.660 See, 1.00

00:50:50.380 the problem is these crazy fucks don't have a war where they can go and blow off some steam. 1.00

00:50:56.660 So they just randomly shoot people. 1.00

00:50:59.140 Okay.

00:50:59.840 Um,

00:51:00.340 bluntly put,

00:51:01.740 but I,

00:51:03.080 I do agree to some extent.

00:51:06.120 Wouldn't you say,

00:51:07.240 Ed,

00:51:07.460 that from a group evolution perspective,

00:51:10.260 that it's good to have some psychopaths within the society?

00:51:15.920 Yes. 0.67

00:51:16.220 That is,

00:51:16.840 that is definitely true.

00:51:18.600 Um,

00:51:18.900 well,

00:51:19.100 not necessarily pure psychopaths,

00:51:20.840 but certainly people that have some psychopathic traits,

00:51:24.220 sub psychopaths,

00:51:25.240 as it were,

00:51:25.580 sub clinical psychopaths,

00:51:26.920 but the flip side of being able to have sub clinical psychopaths is that you will have some psychopaths.

00:51:32.200 And that's why East Asia, 0.94

00:51:33.860 for example,

00:51:34.220 which is such a harsh ecology and where cooperation is so important,

00:51:37.220 doesn't have many geniuses.

00:51:38.820 I sub clinical psychopaths with high IQ because the,

00:51:41.680 the flip side of that is actual psychopaths.

00:51:44.260 And that's so damaging in a,

00:51:46.240 in a,

00:51:46.320 in a society where you've got to cooperate.

00:51:48.280 So,

00:51:48.840 yeah,

00:51:49.280 that's why these things are in the,

00:51:51.200 in the gene pool.

00:51:52.020 And what we have now is just a more,

00:51:54.380 it's just more,

00:51:55.300 uh,

00:51:55.800 weaker Darwinian selection pressures. 0.83

00:51:57.820 And so we're going to get more psychopaths and more schizophrenics and more, 0.96

00:52:02.100 whatever. 0.92

00:52:03.260 It's,

00:52:03.860 um,

00:52:05.120 but he's good for the,

00:52:06.220 at the group level,

00:52:07.500 genius and so on.

00:52:09.040 Okay.

00:52:11.360 Uh,

00:52:11.960 conflict consensus,

00:52:14.320 YouTube star shooter,

00:52:16.560 live stream reality show,

00:52:18.020 fame seeking jackass movie level,

00:52:20.560 spree killing a GoPro, 0.95

00:52:22.440 Twitch shooter.

00:52:23.580 Yeah.

00:52:24.140 I think what he's doing is suggesting what we're going to see in the future.

00:52:28.260 And I unfortunately agree.

00:52:31.680 I mean,

00:52:31.900 this is something that I,

00:52:33.020 I was stressing.

00:52:34.360 Ed was stressing the schizophrenia,

00:52:36.380 which is interesting,

00:52:37.020 but,

00:52:37.620 um,

00:52:37.820 I was actually stressing the theatricality and narcissism of the spree shooters.

00:52:42.780 Uh,

00:52:43.020 they do want to be known and,

00:52:45.600 um,

00:52:46.860 they want to lash out in a,

00:52:49.760 in,

00:52:50.000 in a theatrical manner.

00:52:52.840 I,

00:52:53.100 I think that's just a key aspect to them and,

00:52:56.100 and their personality.

00:52:57.340 And yeah,

00:52:58.080 I mean,

00:52:58.300 all of those things you've described,

00:52:59.740 I mean,

00:52:59.960 we're,

00:53:00.180 we're basically seeing,

00:53:01.380 um,

00:53:02.260 the,

00:53:02.700 uh,

00:53:02.880 the Christchurch shooter live streamed,

00:53:05.100 the Buffalo shooter live streamed,

00:53:06.940 um,

00:53:08.640 uh,

00:53:09.420 yeah,

00:53:10.260 there,

00:53:10.580 I'm sure there's Facebook live streams of suicides and mutilations of all

00:53:15.120 sorts.

00:53:15.300 I mean,

00:53:15.480 we're,

00:53:15.640 we're,

00:53:16.000 yeah,

00:53:16.320 I mean,

00:53:17.240 we're basically living in a Bosch painting at this point on the internet.

00:53:24.580 Um,

00:53:25.460 okay.

00:53:28.060 Let me see this.

00:53:28.900 Okay.

00:53:29.160 Ryan Thompson,

00:53:30.040 if this were a proper government,

00:53:32.520 um,

00:53:34.740 uh,

00:53:35.380 well,

00:53:35.860 or he mentioned some controversial regimes,

00:53:38.620 I would be happy to give up all 31 of my guns,

00:53:41.880 but we have anarcho tyranny. 0.95

00:53:43.940 I like to get high and shoot things, 0.98

00:53:46.460 but just rabbits, 0.97

00:53:48.120 not people.

00:53:50.340 Okay.

00:53:51.980 Enjoy yourself.

00:53:53.000 Thank you for the five bucks.

00:53:54.380 I do find this.

00:53:56.660 I get kind of tired of the argument that,

00:54:00.720 you know,

00:54:03.120 our government's crazy and thus we can't have healthcare or thus we can't have gun control

00:54:09.380 or thus we can't do this or that.

00:54:11.940 It just seems to be an excuse to be a conservative.

00:54:16.120 You know,

00:54:16.480 you,

00:54:16.780 the, 0.95

00:54:16.900 the government's nuts,

00:54:18.060 but otherwise I would be a patriotic citizen,

00:54:21.340 but I'm kind of tired of that.

00:54:24.380 It just seems like an excuse to me,

00:54:26.060 to be honest,

00:54:26.520 um,

00:54:28.240 of,

00:54:28.480 of not offering an actual solution to serious problems.

00:54:32.640 Um,

00:54:33.360 okay.

00:54:36.780 Uh,

00:54:37.340 Ryan Thompson,

00:54:38.120 the spree shootings are happening.

00:54:40.300 Oh,

00:54:40.800 sorry.

00:54:41.540 I like guns,

00:54:42.320 but I don't really have a dog in the fight in terms of gun control,

00:54:45.080 but don't guns prevent a lot of violent crime each and every year.

00:54:50.100 Uh,

00:54:50.600 no,

00:54:51.340 I mean,

00:54:52.080 you,

00:54:52.280 you can certainly,

00:54:53.260 there are absolutely cases of,

00:54:55.420 you know,

00:54:56.060 a guy robbing a liquor store and the manager has a gun or a person,

00:55:01.360 even a bystander has a gun.

00:55:03.380 And these are promoted on social media and people feel good about them for good

00:55:09.200 reason.

00:55:09.640 I get it.

00:55:10.320 It's good to stop a crime and to be dedicated like that,

00:55:13.820 but look more guns,

00:55:15.760 more gun crime.

00:55:16.480 I mean,

00:55:16.800 I,

00:55:17.040 the,

00:55:17.180 the argument that is sometimes made by the,

00:55:19.680 you know,

00:55:20.420 wacky wing of the conservatives that we just need more and more guns so that

00:55:25.240 we'll have less and less crime.

00:55:26.440 I mean,

00:55:26.940 that is just total silliness and removing a lot of these guns.

00:55:32.580 Yeah.

00:55:32.960 The criminals will,

00:55:33.920 we'll still get them,

00:55:35.140 but there,

00:55:36.240 there's just less to choose from.

00:55:37.880 I mean,

00:55:38.060 if you remove,

00:55:39.300 if you get rid of 80% of marijuana,

00:55:43.040 there's going to be less marijuana smoking.

00:55:46.580 I don't,

00:55:47.260 I just don't understand how someone could possibly make the argument that more

00:55:51.580 guns equals more, 0.94

00:55:52.940 less gun crime.

00:55:54.660 And,

00:55:55.000 you know,

00:55:56.100 again,

00:55:56.400 some of the things that people like Ted Cruz are promoting,

00:56:00.580 I mean, 0.96

00:56:00.680 some of it is just ridiculous. 0.97

00:56:02.260 Like, 0.98

00:56:03.260 you know,

00:56:03.880 we need one door to a school or something.

00:56:06.440 I mean,

00:56:06.640 I know absurd,

00:56:08.700 but just arming teachers and just get it.

00:56:11.500 I mean,

00:56:11.740 this is,

00:56:12.500 who wants to live like this?

00:56:15.920 I mean,

00:56:16.180 there are other solutions to these problems outside of arming everyone.

00:56:24.620 Okay.

00:56:29.860 Okay.

00:56:31.100 Harold,

00:56:31.780 most mass shooters bought their weapons legally at gun shops and pass through

00:56:35.880 background checks.

00:56:39.300 That is true.

00:56:40.260 There is no background check that would have stopped this.

00:56:43.560 I think not selling AR 15s would have prevented more deaths and having an age 1.00

00:56:51.500 limit at 21 would also.

00:56:53.540 I think it should be older than that.

00:56:54.960 You go through this,

00:56:55.840 this blip in personality from the late teens to the mid twenties of being higher

00:57:01.400 in psychopathology and mental and whatever.

00:57:03.980 Right.

00:57:04.200 I think it should be 30 or possibly even 35.

00:57:07.620 Cause that's when your frontal lobes are fully developed.

00:57:10.260 Right.

00:57:10.780 35.

00:57:12.340 I get it.

00:57:13.620 I mean,

00:57:13.900 it is even for voting.

00:57:16.720 Well,

00:57:17.300 yeah,

00:57:17.680 sure.

00:57:18.020 But I mean,

00:57:18.440 it's,

00:57:19.060 it's there,

00:57:19.580 that is very true of the young man who goes through a kind of psychopathic

00:57:24.340 phase.

00:57:24.900 That's also when schizophrenia emerges in that time of life.

00:57:28.540 So doesn't it emerge around the time of 18 to 24 or something?

00:57:32.880 Yeah.

00:57:33.120 Early,

00:57:33.360 early,

00:57:33.640 early adolescence.

00:57:35.580 Yes.

00:57:35.760 Right.

00:57:36.780 And not just that,

00:57:37.780 other things often as well,

00:57:38.860 like depression and that's what I'm saying.

00:57:42.140 Yeah.

00:57:42.380 Dickie Spencer Stein.

00:57:46.460 Richard is the only solution for school shootings to either a arm,

00:57:50.460 all elementary school teachers or be higher arm security to change schools

00:57:56.060 away from a soft target status.

00:57:58.240 Militarizing school seems the only watertight short term solution.

00:58:03.440 Oh,

00:58:03.700 sorry.

00:58:03.960 We got another one in here to stop lone wolves and to maybe raise the age to 25.

00:58:10.420 No,

00:58:10.700 35.

00:58:11.380 No,

00:58:11.540 I think it's a brilliant idea.

00:58:13.340 I agree.

00:58:14.060 I totally.

00:58:14.640 I have solved this problem tonight.

00:58:17.640 Okay.

00:58:18.040 This is right.

00:58:19.160 This is important today.

00:58:21.620 35.

00:58:22.520 You can own a gun.

00:58:24.260 Cause then by then, 0.97

00:58:25.240 if you're going to be a schizophrenic, 0.83

00:58:26.500 it will have emerged. 0.86

00:58:27.920 So we know about it.

00:58:29.200 Right.

00:58:29.680 You can't have a gun.

00:58:31.020 And by,

00:58:31.960 by then,

00:58:32.560 if you're a weird in cell,

00:58:33.880 you'll probably accepted it.

00:58:36.080 And by then you're,

00:58:37.920 you're emotionally mature.

00:58:39.020 You're cognitively mature.

00:58:40.740 You're,

00:58:41.040 you,

00:58:41.280 you,

00:58:41.520 you can own a gun at 35.

00:58:43.540 That's it. 0.75

00:58:44.140 If you're a weird in cell, 0.86

00:58:45.380 you would have already.

00:58:46.660 35 to be president.

00:58:47.900 Yes.

00:58:48.080 35 to be president.

00:58:49.600 Nobody questions that.

00:58:50.800 So why,

00:58:51.220 why can't it be that you have to be 35 to own a gun?

00:58:53.660 Right.

00:58:55.420 The military,

00:58:56.640 look,

00:58:57.120 call me nostalgic or something,

00:59:00.100 but militarizing schools,

00:59:02.340 just strikes me as utterly heinous.

00:59:06.020 And what did we see in Texas?

00:59:09.920 Very recently, 1.00

00:59:11.160 we saw local police acting like buffoons and cowards. 0.97

00:59:15.860 Those are the types of people who are going to be at a militarized school. 0.96

00:59:20.520 I mean,

00:59:21.060 we,

00:59:21.380 we,

00:59:21.680 there are thousands of public schools and private schools across the country.

00:59:25.280 We can't just like dedicate the entire army to these groups.

00:59:30.420 I mean,

00:59:31.020 it's just,

00:59:32.020 it is deeply distasteful for one.

00:59:36.860 And you could say,

00:59:37.500 oh,

00:59:37.680 you're,

00:59:37.920 you're merely making this a matter of taste or something to have a militarized school,

00:59:42.120 but it's also just absurd.

00:59:45.060 And it's just easier to not allow people to have AR-15s than to militarize the school because of our God-given right to own weapons like this.

00:59:55.100 So I,

00:59:56.320 I just,

00:59:57.100 I,

00:59:57.420 I don't know.

00:59:58.600 I mean,

00:59:58.780 these conservative solutions just keep getting worse and worse.

01:00:02.260 Um,

01:00:06.380 okay.

01:00:08.780 Uh,

01:00:09.220 this is Ryan Thompson,

01:00:11.520 but big guns with lots of bullets are fun to shoot and I love them and I don't hurt anybody.

01:00:16.900 Well,

01:00:17.580 that,

01:00:17.940 that I'm sure that's true for you.

01:00:19.380 I'm sure that's true for you.

01:00:21.260 Um,

01:00:21.860 that's true.

01:00:22.380 Okay.

01:00:22.540 When you,

01:00:22.960 when you attain the age of 35,

01:00:24.780 I will be more than happy for you to assuming you pass the relevant background checks,

01:00:31.120 um,

01:00:31.840 to,

01:00:32.220 to own a gun.

01:00:33.300 I think I've solved the problem.

01:00:34.420 I think this is,

01:00:34.960 this is,

01:00:35.540 uh,

01:00:35.640 you know,

01:00:36.060 yeah.

01:00:37.160 President Biden,

01:00:37.920 you don't need to thank me,

01:00:38.800 but just,

01:00:40.100 I don't know,

01:00:40.500 just go lift weights like that.

01:00:42.400 That really raises the T level or like,

01:00:44.800 mow the law,

01:00:46.060 mow the law,

01:00:46.520 mow the law,

01:00:47.400 uh,

01:00:48.500 or,

01:00:48.860 or,

01:00:49.200 you know,

01:00:50.240 go take part.

01:00:51.220 You can do competitive sports as an adult.

01:00:53.560 Like you can go play flag football or take up CrossFit or something.

01:00:58.300 They're just all these ways of like expressing,

01:01:00.760 manhood.

01:01:01.700 Go for a drive in your motor car.

01:01:03.660 Right.

01:01:04.400 Yeah.

01:01:04.700 I agree.

01:01:05.620 Yeah.

01:01:06.460 Just everyone.

01:01:07.480 Yeah.

01:01:07.880 Just get in your Bentley and drive through the countryside with your mistress,

01:01:11.640 uh,

01:01:12.160 beside you.

01:01:13.000 And honk the horn loudly when you drive past the field of horses.

01:01:17.580 That's all the thing.

01:01:19.000 Um,

01:01:20.220 uh,

01:01:20.780 repeal the 19th.

01:01:22.140 Okay.

01:01:22.540 Ed,

01:01:22.980 that was interesting.

01:01:24.460 What you just said about Northeast Asians and the ecology of being,

01:01:28.240 being very hostile and requiring cooperation.

01:01:30.860 Can you elaborate a little on that?

01:01:32.940 I've always wondered how Northeast Asians got their high IQs and as opposed to 1.00

01:01:39.100 Southeast Asians.

01:01:41.000 Okay.

01:01:41.400 So I'm look at this in my,

01:01:42.900 my book,

01:01:43.380 making sense of race.

01:01:44.600 Uh,

01:01:45.260 so yeah,

01:01:45.980 Northeast Asia,

01:01:47.200 cold winter's theory and so on predicts that the colder it is,

01:01:50.620 then the harder are the problems you have to solve.

01:01:53.140 Uh,

01:01:53.500 and therefore you develop higher intelligence,

01:01:55.360 but in order to survive in a very,

01:01:57.520 very cold ecology,

01:01:58.420 you have to be able to cooperate with other people.

01:02:00.760 And there's a stronger level of group selection and you have to be able to

01:02:04.280 cooperate with other people,

01:02:05.180 get on with other people and so on.

01:02:07.200 And so if you have,

01:02:08.100 um,

01:02:09.060 psychopaths,

01:02:09.940 uh,

01:02:10.400 then that's a very serious problem for you.

01:02:12.040 So they get selected out.

01:02:13.480 So the,

01:02:14.040 the,

01:02:14.240 the personality in that cold ecology is pro-social and intelligent.

01:02:17.720 So that's what you have with the Northeast Asians now. 1.00

01:02:19.720 Um,

01:02:20.280 and you have a very,

01:02:21.640 very small gene pool as well,

01:02:23.020 because,

01:02:23.500 if you deviate at all from adaptation to the,

01:02:26.460 to that specific ecology,

01:02:27.640 then you're dead.

01:02:29.120 Um,

01:02:29.360 so that's why they have high intelligence and they're very,

01:02:32.220 very pro-social and they have a very small gene pool.

01:02:34.580 Now what you get with Europeans is slightly lower intelligence because it's 1.00

01:02:37.960 not,

01:02:38.200 it's not as harsh an ecology,

01:02:39.580 slightly less pro-socialness because there's less extreme selection for

01:02:43.000 pro-socialness.

01:02:43.840 But what that means and large gene pool,

01:02:46.180 because there's less need to be a strongly adapted to the ecology.

01:02:49.180 What that then means is that you get just by genetic chance,

01:02:53.060 people that have outlier high intelligence.

01:02:55.900 The Japanese don't have outliers.

01:02:57.680 Their,

01:02:57.940 their,

01:02:58.240 their standard deviation is smaller on IQ,

01:03:01.120 um,

01:03:01.940 and,

01:03:02.220 and moderately psychopathic traits,

01:03:05.100 geniuses.

01:03:05.720 Now you can't have that among the Northeast Asians because the flip side of 1.00

01:03:08.780 those people that have moderately psychopathic traits,

01:03:10.660 um,

01:03:11.340 is,

01:03:11.700 is literally low IQ, 0.98

01:03:13.200 very low IQ psychopaths. 0.98

01:03:14.840 And that's, 0.98

01:03:15.660 that's utterly dangerous.

01:03:16.680 So that's,

01:03:17.200 that's the distinction that you,

01:03:18.840 that you get.

01:03:19.500 And I've done a lot of research on that.

01:03:21.000 Yeah.

01:03:21.280 And as for Southeast Asians,

01:03:22.540 well,

01:03:22.700 it's,

01:03:23.080 um,

01:03:23.200 it's warmer in Southeast Asia.

01:03:24.920 So Southeast Asians are, 1.00

01:03:26.700 have a lower IQ.

01:03:27.700 They have about the same IQ as Greeks.

01:03:30.180 Uh,

01:03:30.500 and,

01:03:31.360 uh,

01:03:31.620 and,

01:03:31.960 and they are highly pro-social though.

01:03:34.740 And that may well be to do with being evolved to a very,

01:03:37.640 very dense ecology that's very crowded.

01:03:39.520 Uh,

01:03:39.920 and so this makes people more cooperative.

01:03:41.420 You get the same thing with Indians. 1.00

01:03:42.420 They have very high conscientiousness,

01:03:44.160 very high impulse control.

01:03:46.460 Right.

01:03:47.480 Um,

01:03:48.380 okay.

01:03:48.760 Harold,

01:03:49.260 any semi auto,

01:03:50.600 uh,

01:03:50.800 any semi auto gun can be as high or higher capacity than an AR 15.

01:03:55.700 Okay.

01:03:56.100 Yeah.

01:03:56.320 There has to be some form of gun control that,

01:03:59.260 that goes beyond just the AR 15.

01:04:02.640 Dickie Spencer Stein,

01:04:04.060 if Fox news offered 50 solutions to stop school shootings and none of them are gun control,

01:04:09.400 and let's face it,

01:04:10.640 there are Democrats at Fox.

01:04:13.100 Okay.

01:04:13.320 This guy seemed,

01:04:14.380 then how do you expect there to be a two third super majority in both chambers of Congress to codify the second amendment?

01:04:21.260 Ghost guns and 3d printers are problematic.

01:04:23.700 Yeah.

01:04:23.860 There are a lot of things that are problematic.

01:04:27.620 There's no question.

01:04:28.700 And,

01:04:28.900 and obviously the,

01:04:30.740 the,

01:04:31.040 we're just at this impasse in terms of gun control and abortion,

01:04:35.300 but things can be done and you,

01:04:39.680 you certainly can like convince people to move on from this issue.

01:04:45.600 Uh,

01:04:46.160 the,

01:04:46.540 the other aspect of this is just the Supreme court.

01:04:48.800 I mean,

01:04:49.120 it,

01:04:49.340 it is interesting that the,

01:04:52.140 the Heller,

01:04:52.920 uh,

01:04:53.940 uh,

01:04:54.360 case from 2008,

01:04:56.280 basically Scalia,

01:04:57.640 much like Roe,

01:04:59.820 who found a right to abortion within the 14th amendment,

01:05:02.200 he,

01:05:02.600 they found this individual right to a firearm within the second amendment.

01:05:06.560 And much like Roe,

01:05:09.040 it can be regulated.

01:05:10.140 So you can't have an abortion, 0.96

01:05:12.040 you know,

01:05:13.080 the day before birth or something like that.

01:05:15.140 And you can't own a stinger missile.

01:05:17.600 Um,

01:05:18.120 but it is interesting that both of those cases,

01:05:20.960 you know,

01:05:22.260 equally important in a way.

01:05:23.700 And they,

01:05:24.680 they both are using this kind of interpretation of an individual right from an amendment that was not written about those things at all.

01:05:35.180 So,

01:05:35.640 uh,

01:05:36.880 Interesting.

01:05:37.660 I mean,

01:05:38.000 I agree with you.

01:05:39.160 The simple answer is that we can't get anywhere because conservatives are really obsessed about this issue,

01:05:44.560 but.

01:05:45.640 It's fundamentalist biblical interpretation.

01:05:48.780 It's,

01:05:49.460 they,

01:05:49.740 they,

01:05:49.860 they made,

01:05:50.340 they made that,

01:05:51.080 uh,

01:05:51.720 that constitution with the knowledge of the world is the way it was at that time.

01:05:56.580 Right.

01:05:57.760 Not as it is now.

01:05:59.760 Yeah.

01:06:01.240 Yeah.

01:06:02.680 Okay.

01:06:03.440 Um,

01:06:03.800 I think that is it.

01:06:04.900 Let me just see if anyone threw in.

01:06:07.060 Yeah,

01:06:07.280 we're,

01:06:07.540 we're getting,

01:06:08.060 uh,

01:06:08.300 some good,

01:06:09.000 um,

01:06:10.100 good super chatting going on.

01:06:12.420 Uh,

01:06:12.860 we appreciate it.

01:06:13.800 let me see just to see if there's any.

01:06:19.120 Yeah,

01:06:19.400 that's it.

01:06:20.220 Okay.

01:06:21.840 Well,

01:06:22.480 we've done our little hour.

01:06:25.280 I like to keep them right here at this hour long.

01:06:27.280 long.

01:06:29.160 I think.

01:06:29.720 Okay.

01:06:29.960 So you can buy spiteful mutants on Amazon and,

01:06:35.140 uh,

01:06:35.480 it is available.

01:06:36.320 It will be shipping June 6th,

01:06:38.060 I believe.

01:06:39.500 And,

01:06:40.000 um,

01:06:41.140 also,

01:06:42.280 uh,

01:06:42.760 if you want to take a course by ad on the origins of religion,

01:06:45.840 do you want to talk a little bit about your course?

01:06:48.040 Well,

01:06:48.100 it's a brilliant course where it will be a series of seminars on the origin,

01:06:51.560 uh,

01:06:51.600 IE discussions on the origins of religion.

01:06:54.380 But at the moment,

01:06:54.980 it looks like it will be me and two other people.

01:06:56.480 So it would be good to have,

01:06:57.520 um,

01:06:58.580 slightly more,

01:06:59.260 uh,

01:06:59.700 people on the course.

01:07:00.720 That would be,

01:07:01.120 that would be good news.

01:07:02.660 Yes.

01:07:03.240 Yeah.

01:07:03.520 We need some more,

01:07:04.380 uh,

01:07:04.760 we need some more sign up because it's going to be awesome.

01:07:07.040 And you get to talk and interact with,

01:07:08.780 with that,

01:07:09.400 um,

01:07:10.900 about this fascinating issue.

01:07:12.720 Yes.

01:07:13.720 Okay.
