00:00:00.000 To be a little speculative here and introspective and self-critical, I think what we're doing in the book itself comes out at a very interesting point in history.
00:00:13.620 Because I think in some ways we're coping if we're honest with one another.
00:00:21.200 And I think we're coping for America, actually.
00:00:25.000 And I think that everything that's happening on the right wing is on some level a cope with the reality that this thing is failing.
00:00:38.020 You aren't going to be as productive and powerful as your grandparents.
00:00:46.720 And what are we going to do about it?
00:00:49.440 I think what is going on with Christian nationalism or nationalism, et cetera, is to just double, quadruple down on what they think got us here.
00:01:03.040 You know, there's this sort of interesting fact that I've heard.
00:01:06.900 Eisenhower, who was president at a time when 97% of the population went to church, would end speeches with good nights.
00:01:16.380 He didn't say God bless America.
00:01:18.580 That came in the 80s when there was already a little bit of a tottering situation going on.
00:01:25.300 And now we have like J.D. Vance saying, I just want y'all to, you know, say a prayer for the brave ICE agents who are murdering people out there.
00:01:35.060 Like they're overtly being Christian, which in this sort of Freudian way indicates that they've already lost it. 0.97
00:01:45.380 Eisenhower wasn't an atheist or something.
00:01:48.300 Eisenhower didn't feel it to be mildly necessary to say God bless America or something like that.
00:01:56.560 It's like a man who tells you, you know, one thing that I know about my wife is that she is faithful.
00:02:03.500 She would never conceivably have an extramarital affair.
00:02:07.620 There's one thing it's true.
00:02:09.020 It's that. 0.98
00:02:09.420 You clearly know that she's fucking around when you say something or you're almost indicating its absence, this quadrupling down on America or whatever. 1.00
00:02:20.300 What in the fuck are you even talking about? 1.00
00:02:24.360 You know, what what is this? 1.00
00:02:25.800 What is this Christian culture we live in? 1.00
00:02:29.400 It's hard to pinpoint.
00:02:31.360 And even when you can pinpoint it, it's hard to from a traditionalist standpoint endorse it.
00:02:41.860 I mean, this this culture is degenerating, obviously, and our power is degenerating.
00:02:47.940 And so I think that's one sort of cope.
00:02:50.600 And I think our cope is a better cope.
00:02:54.220 It's a more productive cope.
00:02:56.560 There is a level of fantasy or warp or whatever you want to say about what Mark and I and everyone here is doing really.
00:03:06.380 But I'm just talking about the book in particular. 0.81
00:03:09.300 Isn't this sort of ridiculous? 0.76
00:03:11.640 You're reviving ancient gods and things like that. 0.94
00:03:15.260 I think it's it's less ridiculous in the sense that America and the world that we grew up in doesn't work anymore.
00:03:24.460 And it's kind of a joke to be an American nationalist.
00:03:28.240 What are you a nationalist about?
00:03:30.300 Walmart or something like I mean, seriously.
00:03:33.680 Walmart nationalism.
00:03:34.300 Like McDonald's or like, what is it that you are actually praising about this country that you complain about constantly?
00:03:42.940 Only fans nationalism.
00:03:44.600 That's like more like grounded in a way than being a Christian nationalist.
00:03:50.560 And so I think we have this amazing opportunity precisely because of disintegration.
00:03:58.600 Like disintegration is liberation in the sense of we've been tied up.
00:04:06.740 We've been shackled with these ropes of America, the Constitution, you know, liberalism, capitalism, democracy.
00:04:17.840 We've been those are these ropes that we've been tied up with. 0.90
00:04:20.980 And the fact is, these rats have been chewing at the ropes.
00:04:25.300 The ropes are, you know, a bit mildewed and kind of decaying.
00:04:29.420 And at some point you can get out of them.
00:04:32.900 But so our yeah, we are sort of coping.
00:04:35.580 We're coping with the loss of something.
00:04:37.540 But I think we recognize that this thing is disintegrating.
00:04:42.260 But our cope is a more productive and realistic cope because we're saying we are not going to quadruple down on what brought us here.
00:04:53.740 Because what brought us here brought us to here.
00:04:56.280 If you go back in time to, I don't know, 19th century Christianity or whenever, I don't think, puritanical Christianity where we're stoning abortionists and adulteresses and everyone lives in some like tiny town and is dressed in black and no cleavage is available.
00:05:17.600 You know, if you actually do that, you're going to press play on the recorder.
00:05:23.260 You're going to end up here.
00:05:24.860 Everything that happened led to here.
00:05:29.600 And if we go back, we're going to end up here again.
00:05:32.600 It's going to be our great grandchildren.
00:05:34.220 Or maybe it will actually be us.
00:05:35.740 Maybe things happen so quickly now with the internet and social media that it will just be us.
00:05:40.620 So we don't want to do that.
00:05:42.340 So our cope is better in the sense that it's more productive precisely because it's new.
00:05:48.140 We're trying to diagnose exactly why we're in this predicament and never to repeat that.
00:05:56.800 So in a way, we're criticizing our ancestors even.
00:05:59.640 We're saying, you took a wrong turn at some point.
00:06:04.740 And we're going to try to correct that.
00:06:07.380 We don't judge you.
00:06:08.820 We don't condemn you.
00:06:10.980 We understand actually why you did that.
00:06:14.520 And that's why we're not doing it again.
00:06:16.640 So I think, again, just to sum up really quickly, we have this potential within disintegration.
00:06:23.640 And what's coming up, what is the thing that is now talked about regularly in conservative circles, liberal circles, et cetera, that you could not imagine ever being spoken about?
00:06:39.860 I'll just tell you because it's a rhetorical question.
00:06:42.560 The Antichrist.
00:06:45.360 Maybe some people talked about like, oh, George W. Bush is the Antichrist. 0.98
00:06:49.840 It's like someone on, you know, I'm thinking of some of those stupid liberal sites during, well, they were correct, liberal HuffPost during the Iraq war days. 0.98
00:07:00.120 But they didn't think about it seriously. 1.00
00:07:03.400 They might as well just call him a bastard or something like that. 1.00
00:07:05.800 You know, you're the Antichrist. 1.00
00:07:06.960 It wasn't a real thing.
00:07:09.000 With Peter Thiel talking about this on this lecture tour, some internet personalities talking about this, people are really thinking about the Antichrist.
00:07:20.840 And I think we should be thinking about the Antichrist as well.
00:07:24.280 According to Peter Thiel, it's going to be Greta Thunberg, who is this like liberal nationalist white girl, you know, who's going to make you be based and trad. 1.00
00:07:35.120 And she's going to reduce bourgeois development or she's going to reduce technological development. 0.99
00:07:41.440 Because according to Peter Thiel, we need to leave this mortal coil.
00:07:46.780 Transgenderism isn't radical enough. 1.00
00:07:49.300 We need to use technology so that we can remove the body from the equation and reach a kind of purified essence through something that is radically puritanical technology itself.
00:08:02.820 It's radical logic on some level.
00:08:05.280 That's what computer programming is, radical logic.
00:08:07.620 So we can kind of escape the body and reach this radical thing.
00:08:12.880 The Antichrist is Greta Thunberg because she's going to drag us back. 1.00
00:08:16.340 She's going to be like, no, you're going to grow organic eggs. 1.00
00:08:19.460 You're going to live in this town and not use planes or trains or automobiles so that, you know, the earth can start cooling again and healing.
00:08:27.340 She's going to bring you back to tradition as opposed to this bourgeois progressivism that he thinks is God.
00:08:35.300 Accelerationism into a future where you no longer have a body.
00:08:39.520 You're just a pure soul.
00:08:41.200 He is a Christian.
00:08:43.520 He is.
00:08:44.520 It's heretical.
00:08:45.780 It's kind of kooky.
00:08:47.320 99.9% of Christians don't think like that.
00:08:50.040 But he is using Christian logic.
00:08:53.020 But he's also raising this idea of the Antichrist.
00:08:57.720 And I think we should be thinking about that idea of the Antichrist.
00:09:02.000 Because who is the Antichrist?
00:09:03.960 666?
00:09:05.360 That's the epic version of the number of man.
00:09:11.460 6.
00:09:12.400 It's not 7.
00:09:13.500 It's not the Sabbath.
00:09:14.480 It's not Saturn.
00:09:15.360 It's not Yahweh.
00:09:17.320 666 is Arian. 1.00
00:09:18.980 We need to be thinking about birthing the Antichrist. 0.99
00:09:25.420 That is our job.
00:09:28.200 We need to be thinking about this terrifying entity that is going to confront America.
00:09:35.820 It's going to confront people like Peter Thiel who went infinite acceleration and progress to
00:09:41.600 soulness or whatever.
00:09:44.120 He is going to radically reject everything about America.
00:09:50.160 Everything that went wrong.
00:09:52.920 Everything that's liberal.
00:09:56.080 That is who he is.
00:09:59.660 The Antichrist is going to be our savior.
00:10:03.200 And we need to start thinking about him and his coming and working every day to bring him
00:10:11.860 into the material world.
00:10:15.900 The opposite of Jesus. 0.53
00:10:20.380 Someone who's also as terrifying as Jesus.
00:10:24.180 But he's terrifying to the people who love Jesus.
00:10:27.600 So, thank you.
00:10:28.720 Dude, Antichrist aura right there, man.
