00:22:49.140But then I also have to parasitize your affective system, your emotional system, hence the suicidal empathy.0.89
00:22:56.020Okay, but that all sounds a bit professorial and abstract.
00:22:59.140So let me give you a concrete example.
00:23:01.340cultural relativism is a parasitic idea that i discuss in the parasitic mind cultural relativism
00:23:09.440purports that it is wrong to ever judge other cultural beliefs and practices that would make
00:23:16.280you racist that would make you a cultural colonizer so if another society wishes to engage in female0.96
00:23:25.320genital mutilation of five-year-old girls shut up racist if they wish to engage in child brides1.00
00:23:31.120shut up racist. If they wish to engage in honor killings, shut up racist. So cultural relativism1.00
00:23:37.720renders you impotent to make such judgments. And now you see how that parasitic idea is going to
00:23:45.240lead to suicidal empathy. So now if I am an immigration policymaker, I've already been
00:23:52.060infected with cultural relativism as a parasitic idea, then I don't wish to say, hey, wait a minute,
00:23:59.300Not all incoming immigrants are equally congruent with our values, because that would be racist, as I learned through my indoctrination of cultural relativism. Therefore, come on in, everybody. All immigrants are equally likely to assimilate within the American experience.
00:24:19.320So my internalizing and being parasitized by cultural relativism led to my open border,
00:24:35.080And it's so crazy to me how people are so brainwashed into not wanting to be called a name.
00:24:41.880It's none of your business what other people call you if you know who you are, is my theory.
00:24:46.340So, you know, if I'm not running around trying to be hurtful and racist or whatever is or ism there is, and I'm just speaking from what I see without blinders or being brainwashed, you know, I don't really care what you call me because shutting our mouths is creating what we're seeing around us now and it's not good.
00:25:08.640And, you know, so I, I feel like, you know, is, is it, what do we need to do?
00:25:14.440What do we need to do as a culture and how do people become unafraid to speak?
00:25:20.460And, you know, it, their lives really depend on it.
00:25:23.460Our future, your kids' futures, your grandkids, there's not the, the America that we grew
00:25:31.000And it's not a slow moving disaster anymore.
00:25:34.200As Scott would say, it, the, the train has left the station and it is barreling.
00:25:38.000So what do we do, Ged? I don't know what to do.
00:25:41.620Yeah, perfect setup for my response. Thank you for that.
00:25:46.520In the last chapter of the parasitic mind, I have a call to action.
00:25:52.520But the one that I think resonated most with people, again, part of sort of my using a particular type of powerful phraseology, is I said, activate your inner honey badger.
00:26:06.540And the reason why I specifically chose the honey badger, because of all animals that exist, the honey badger has been ranked officially by animal behaviorists and zoologists as the fiercest, most ferocious of all animals.
00:26:24.840Now, for those of you who don't know, the honey badger, the African honey badger, is the size of a small to medium-sized dog.
00:26:34.460But if it comes across a bunch of adult lions, the adult lions go, I'm sorry, sir, I didn't mean to interfere with your day.
00:26:45.880Let us cross to the other side of the African savanna so that we don't disturb you, sir.
00:26:50.880Now, how could it be that such an animal could, you know, elicit such respect from so many different supposedly ferocious animals?
00:27:00.280Well, because it walks very tall, right?
00:27:04.060So it may be small, but it's the tallest, biggest, baddest of all animals.
00:27:09.440So when I tell people activate your inner honey badger, I'm not imploring them to be violent or physically violent.
00:27:17.000I'm saying stand tall and defend your principles.
00:27:19.960The reason why, you know, hashtag men too can menstruate, hashtag men too can bear children, the reason why this astonishing departure from reality could flourish so that today we have debates as to what constitutes male or female,
00:27:41.460when until 15 minutes ago, the 117 billion people that had existed on Earth, that's an actual real
00:27:49.500estimate, they seem to know perfectly well how to navigate the very difficult conundrum of what
00:27:55.940constitutes male or female. But 15 minutes ago, after I took my progressive biology course at
00:28:02.020Oberlin College, I lost that ability. But our ancestors knew exactly with whom to couple,
00:28:08.020to reproduce, but we no longer had that. Well, the reason why you were able to be so parasitized by
00:28:14.260that is because most people, because they suffer from pathological cowardice and pathological
00:28:22.320apathy, just nodded their head to be nice and get along and said, yeah, yeah, of course, men too can
00:28:29.140menstruate. So activate your inner honey badger means don't be a coward. Now that doesn't mean0.95
00:28:35.780you have to be impolite. That doesn't mean you have to be unkind. But your professor says something
00:28:40.600insane, raise your hand and challenge them. You're at the bar and your friend says something that's
00:28:46.800insane, politely challenge them. Look, I just had a very intense three hour or however long it was
00:28:54.080appearance on Joe Rogan's show where, you know, Joe and I go back many years. We're very good
00:29:01.640friends. We were talking about a very difficult subject, about Israel and so on. And a lot of
00:29:08.920issues were raised. And yet, we had the difficult conversation, and then we hugged it out at the
00:29:15.300end. So you don't have to be disagreeable to have difficult conversations. Don't be a coward.
00:29:21.560Yes. And also, you know, so I've been put into situations where, you know, somebody's like,
00:29:28.720oh, so-and-so is no longer a woman. Now she's a man. And I'm like, listen, whatever. But I don't
00:29:37.860want to play the game. So I'm going to stay in reality and you guys can bend over backwards to
00:29:44.600accommodate this person's issue. I'll be polite, but I'm not going to call her a he. I'm not going
00:29:51.580to pretend she's a male. I'll do my best to not have anything happen. But I think what we should
00:29:59.080know is that just because somebody else is delusional doesn't mean you have to play that
00:30:04.240game. That would make you delusional. So I remember before my father died, I was trying
00:30:10.160to explain to him this pronoun thing. My father was, I mean, you don't even have to be very
00:30:15.800intelligent, but he was a very intelligent man. And I was like, well, dad, no, that person says
00:30:21.520there are they he's like what do you mean and i'm like i can't i can't do this to you i can't i don't
00:30:26.260even want to explain it to you it is so stupid and i just i just never because i'm a normal
00:30:32.400thinking person could never go along with any of this stuff and i'm glad to see that you know0.96
00:30:38.380most people that were you know falling that way were like well wait you know and they came back
00:30:43.800to center thank god um owen i'm sure you have a hundred questions i i could talk well i i kind of
00:30:49.500want to return to what i was asking about before like you know one of the things scott would0.98
00:30:52.700sometimes say when someone was saying something insane was you know are they stupid lying or0.99
00:30:56.840brainwashed and i i kind of have that question about the suicidal empathy like do you think1.00
00:31:01.680this is an intentional thing that people are trying to brainwash people to destroy our country
00:31:06.580or do you think it's just rooted more in the evolutionary psychology where um you know people
00:31:14.080are just like valuing the social, you know, the, the social approval aspect over all the other
00:31:22.000things to the point of pathology or, or are they even aware of it? I like, do they, are they
00:31:28.020thinking this is really what the truth is or do they know that they're lying? Like, what do you
00:31:32.940think about that? Yeah. So it's a bit of both and, but a lot more of the parasitic infestation.
00:31:41.180that's not willful but let me explain both so for example if you are the muslim brotherhood0.99
00:31:47.200then it is a willful attempt to you know hijack your capacity to think right the muslim brotherhood0.68
00:31:55.420among many other islamic groups so that kind of goes to your earlier uh question when you talk
00:32:00.840about ilhan omar and so on uh the muslim brotherhood said we're going to conquer the west
00:32:05.680by three means. By the womb of our women, right? We produce more than you, right? Demography is
00:32:14.420destiny. Number two, by hijra. Hijra is the Arabic word for immigration. How wonderful it is that1.00
00:32:22.080then the West adopts an open border policy. Thank you, West. And then number three, by using your
00:32:28.540miserable freedoms against you. So then in that case, that's the willful part that you're talking
00:32:34.760about a nefarious group that understands that there is a frailty in the architecture of the
00:32:41.500human mind certainly of the western mind and then they use that but the more general reason why
00:32:47.960people can be parasitized is actually because of a fundamental frailty in the architecture of the
00:32:55.160human mind and let me explain what i mean by that so in the old days 300 years ago in various areas0.84
00:33:03.060all over the world but certainly let's say in the northeast this was a very good way to organize1.00
00:33:08.720the neighborhood if you thought that linda was a potential witch let's grab her and throw her0.99
00:33:14.540into water and if she ends up uh drowning oops i guess she wasn't a witch but if she does uh if
00:33:23.000she does swim then that proves that she is a witch but then that parasitic idea we were able to
00:33:30.580vanquish it and defeat it but then new parasitic ideas came up so the the uniqueness of the current
00:33:38.020reality that we're facing is that there's a bunch of parasitic ideas that were spawned on university0.95
00:33:44.440campuses because it really takes intellectuals to come up with some of the dumbest ideas0.64
00:33:51.040and these ideas once they converge to a tipping point led to the destruction of the edifices of0.96
00:34:00.160reality, right? So, and now let me explain why I use the parasitic framework to understand
00:34:08.220how people could be so removed from reality. The field of parasitology is the study of host
00:34:15.360parasite interactions. So, for example, a tapeworm is a parasite, but that ends up in your intestinal
00:34:22.860tract. On the other hand, a neuroparasite, which is a subfield of parasitology, is when the
00:34:30.000parasites that infect infest you have to end up in your brain altering your neuronal circuitry
00:34:39.220to suit their interests and the classic example I give but there are many many others
00:34:43.800a wood cricket abhors water right it wants nothing to do with water but when it is parasitized by a
00:34:52.060hair worm, the hair worm needs the wood cricket to jump into water, merrily commit suicide,
00:35:00.680hence suicidal empathy, because the hair worm can only complete its reproductive cycle in water.
00:35:07.620So once that hair worm has parasitized the hapless wood cricket's brain, it is now just
00:35:15.720a vehicle for the best interest of the neuro parasite so now let me link that specifically
00:35:23.120to a human context and i actually verbatim you know uh covered that uh conversation in in the
00:35:31.520in uh suicidal empathy so there's a street uh interviewer you know these are the guys that go
00:35:36.980into the street and intercept somebody he is interviewing he intercepts a woman i think it
00:35:42.200was in manchester england at a free free palestine free gaza stuff and he says oh you're here for free
00:35:49.860free palestine she goes yes yes you know palestine palestine she's british she's got nothing to do0.75
00:35:54.340with palestine yeah yeah yeah keffia right and he says oh do you know what they do to you know gay0.75
00:36:01.780people in in gaza she goes i do i'm queer myself he goes oh you're queer but you support gaza do0.61
00:36:10.120you know what they would do to you in Gaza? She goes, yes. What do you mean? They would kill you.0.59
00:36:15.640She goes, yes. He goes, but you still support them? She goes, absolutely. Just because they0.97
00:36:21.080would kill me doesn't mean that they shouldn't be deserving of my support. There's your wood
00:36:26.340cricket, right? So that person is not somebody who is at the World Economic Forum meeting at Davos
00:36:35.640right well she has been infected by an ideological neuroparasite so to conclude yes there is in some
00:36:45.460cases willful manipulation of the human mind but in most cases it's parasitic ideas that lead to
00:36:53.100suicidal empathy oh my gosh you know scott would often tell us that when he was young he thought
00:37:00.220um like when he was a kid he thought people were maybe 90 rational and 10 irrational and then when
00:37:06.720he was training hypnosis he learned that it's the opposite we're 90 irrational and 10 rational and
00:37:12.820and i think he's also told us that emotions are much stronger than any kind of rational argument
00:37:19.000in terms of persuasion so it seems if you're you know if your argument is that the parasitic mind
00:37:24.200was more about the critical thinking but the suicidal empathy idea is more about emotions
00:37:29.220that the suicidal empathy might be much more powerful of the two and that's why that's why
00:37:36.080forgive me for interrupting you it's very rude of me that's why it's a instant number one new
00:37:40.960york times bestseller to your point yeah and and i i guess my question is like if if we're trying
00:37:48.300to persuade you know a liberal or somebody who's been infected are are there emotional arguments
00:37:54.360that you would suggest using to try and use that same technique to counter it?
00:37:59.820There are, albeit, again, it's a false dichotomy to draw a distinction between reason and emotion.
00:38:08.780Both of these systems have evolutionarily rational signatures.
00:38:13.920The problem arises when you invoke the wrong system in the wrong occasion, right?
00:38:19.600If I'm cutting through a dark alley because it'll save me 20 minutes of walking to get home, and I notice that there are a bunch of young men loitering in that dark alley, I will have an affective response, right? An emotional response. My heartbeat will go up. I might start perspiring. My breathing will become more shallow. My blood pressure will go up.
00:38:43.480All of these are autonomic, affective, emotional responses that make perfect evolutionary sense.
00:38:50.880If I were trying to do well on a calculus exam, I shouldn't be invoking my affective system.
00:38:57.100I should be invoking my cognitive system.
00:38:59.360So these are not, you know, systems intention.
00:39:04.920The challenge in life is to invoke the right one in the right situation.
00:39:08.120But to answer your question more directly, the way that I would try to convince the person who is suffering from suicidal empathy would be to actually give them examples that demonstrate how their empathy calculus is now broken.
00:39:29.060In experimental philosophy, there is the classic trolley problem.
00:39:32.960The trolley problem is where you're trying to test people's ability to engage in trade-off
00:39:39.460calculations, right? So here's an example of a trolley problem. The trolley is barreling down
00:39:46.400towards three of your biological children. Now, you can pull a lever, and if the lever is pulled,
00:39:54.620it diverts the trolley to hit five random strangers. Now, you can see the tension here,
00:40:01.680Right. Five is a bigger number than three. So if the calculus was simply do that, which minimizes, you know, the number of people dead, then everybody would build the trolley.
00:40:15.140But if you recognize that we've evolved an evolutionary calculus that engages in these rational calculus trade-offs, then it wouldn't make you Hitler to say, well, sorry, but I would probably jump and save my biological children first.
00:40:34.580So what you have to do is explain to the suicidally empathetic person that empathy is beautiful, but it has to be constrained by an evolutionary relevant calculus.
00:40:48.500I know that sounds very fancy and professorial, but that's the only way to do it.
00:40:52.360And the reason why I use the trolley problem is because it is a vivid storytelling.0.98
00:40:58.260Even the degenerate imbecile who suffers from suicidal empathy would be hard pressed to say, I wouldn't save my three biological children.0.97
00:41:08.340And therefore, through a mean, a Socratic mean, I have cornered you into realizing that we don't have an infinite well of empathy.0.99
00:47:02.680Owen, what question did you want to get in?
00:47:05.120Well, so I know you mentioned in your book that women are more empathetic than men,
00:47:11.240generally speaking, on average, statistically.
00:47:14.040Do you think part of the reason that some of the suicidal empathy is getting so much1.00
00:47:18.080traction in the united states is that we just have a lot more women in positions of power and0.99
00:47:22.500that they're able to set policies and things like that i mean certainly in some institutions the0.94
00:47:29.180rise in suicidal empathy in those institutions is because of the greater feminization of those
00:47:35.160institutions so for example in academia we now have instead of the epistemology of truth which
00:47:43.940should be epistemology means philosophy of knowledge right so instead of having an epistemology
00:47:49.840of truth which is what you would expect in a university that adheres to the scientific method
00:47:55.060we now have an epistemology of care what the f does epistemology of care mean right i mean the0.98
00:48:02.620distribution of prime numbers is the distribution of prime numbers irrespective of your bullshit0.95
00:48:08.220hurt feelings, right? Now, that epistemology of care arises from the infantilization and0.98
00:48:16.460feminization of the university. So in one sense, what you're saying is true, but I don't want to
00:48:22.720put suicidal empathy only on the broad shoulders of womanhood, right? Because there's a lot of also
00:48:29.600castrated men who are suicidally empathetic. So it's a one-two punch. It's the feminization
00:48:36.960of our culture that increases the likelihood of suicidal empathy but it's also the fact that we
00:48:43.740have pathologized half of humanity called or what is that word i'm looking for oh men uh so so by
00:48:51.920castrating and pathologizing men as a form of toxicity right i mean it's toxic masculinity
00:48:59.920you end up with the perfect cocktail for suicidal empathy yeah and i mean part of the way i look at
00:49:05.560is the the you know that there's this oppressor victim thing going on with liberals kind of
00:49:11.480elevating the victim and wanting to essentially be the victim um and looking for the oppressor
00:49:16.920that's out there whether it's real or not and um kind of choosing which groups are demonized which
00:49:23.240groups are better they have the whole intersectional thing where the more different things you have you
00:49:27.160can maybe elevate your status as a victim which is so bizarre to me but um it seems real um and
00:49:33.560It seems to me like that's one of the bigger underpinnings of this is that when you elevate the status of a person based on being a victim, they see they can get status points with that.
00:49:43.600And they're trying to kind of compete to be the biggest victim.
00:49:45.840And then on the other side of that, they're trying to also give those status points out to the biggest victims rather than merit or achievement or people who are actually accomplishing things.
00:49:58.360And it seems so backwards to me, but I guess I still don't understand why that happens.
00:50:03.560Well, by the way, but to your point about victimhood, in Parasitic Mind, I talk about
00:50:08.720the homeostasis of victimology. So a homeostatic system is one. So for example, the thermostat
00:50:16.840in a hotel room is a homeostatic system because you set the bar, the temperature that you'd like
00:50:24.480it at, and then the homeostatic system either activates the heating or the air conditioning
00:50:33.040to reach that level. So applying that principle to victimology is, look, we need to have a set
00:50:40.100level of victimology in order to adhere to the narrative that the United States is a transphobic,0.91
00:50:46.600Islamophobic, sitting on stolen land, white supremacist society. And because we need to0.93
00:50:51.980reach that homeostasis level of victimology, if we can't come up with actual examples, then no
00:50:58.680problem. You'll just manufacture him, Jussie Smollett. You'll just manufacture him, Senator
00:51:04.280Chief Lieselot, Elizabeth Warren. But now, here's the interesting part. One of the questions I
00:51:13.080often ask is, how is it that you could be so outspoken, Professor Saad, in academia and you've
00:51:21.260yet to be cancelled? And here's one of many reasons why it's not easy, thank God, to cancel me.
00:51:28.680it's because I outscore all the bullshitters in real victimology. I'm the king of holding the
00:51:37.580card. I'm a childhood war refugee who escaped execution in the Middle East. So your bullshit
00:51:46.580story about what might have happened 300 years ago to the Navajo when they fought whomever,1.00
00:51:52.940that might be very nice. And it's part of your intergenerational history. But I don't need to
00:51:58.380invoke 300 years ago what happened to my ancestors. I escaped execution. My parents were kidnapped by
00:52:06.300Fatah and tortured. My grandparents escaped Syria. My brother-in-law's family escaped Alexandria,
00:52:14.320Egypt. So it becomes very difficult when someone wants to play the victimology game with me
00:52:19.980to outrank me. So they usually run away and I use their calculus to defeat the idiots.1.00
00:52:26.560And it seems like the more boxes people check, blue hair, you know, used to be a man, now I'm1.00
00:52:32.820pretending I'm a woman, like the worse it is. And I'll say it again, I love using my woman card on1.00
00:52:40.380here. But as the only woman on this panel right now, I think women are messing up a lot of things.1.00
00:52:47.160Whoa, whoa, whoa. How do you know I'm not a woman?1.00
00:52:49.920because I know because I'm not stupid. I mean, look at that face, that man right there.0.98
00:52:57.680But seriously, I think women are really messing up a lot of things. And, you know, everyone laughs1.00
00:53:03.180at me. Some people get mad at me in the chat. But I was just I always say, like, I'm happy to give
00:53:08.020up my right to vote if it means all women can't vote because it's so crazy. So, you know, if0.91
00:53:14.880anyone's afraid to say I think women really are a pain in the ass. And I think that they're afraid1.00
00:53:19.900of like not keeping their friend group and being popular. And it's like that petty.
00:53:25.160And then I think for the women out there, like the queer British woman who's okay with, you know,0.93
00:53:30.920she'd be killed if she went over to Palestine. You know, they just, they're just lost. They're1.00
00:53:36.680lost or lonely. They probably grew up on social media and they don't have any real friends or
00:53:41.080connections. And that's why I'm also all for bringing back mental institutions. Like, where0.64
00:53:47.440do they go we need to put these people somewhere they need help because i don't know how you fix
00:53:51.540this it is really broken and i don't know how you know people are going to start out breeding0.99
00:53:57.080islam for example if we keep you know i mean it's it's an obvious calculation to just
00:54:03.700feminize men and is there anything worse than a male feminist no so i don't know and i can i
00:54:12.060share with you please uh so i had a theory that i first proposed in the parasitic mind which
00:54:19.420exactly applies to what you just said about the feminization of men uh and forgive me can i use
00:54:25.620an f word because it's an actual zoological scientific term absolutely oh in zoology there0.97
00:54:31.640is something called the sneaky fucker strategy and the sneaky fucker refer i mean the the fancy0.98
00:54:38.900a scientific term is kleptogamy. Kleptogamy, forgive me for the phone, let me just close this.0.98
00:54:46.320Kleptogamy refers to the stealing of mating opportunities. Now, let me explain what that
00:54:51.480means. And this, by the way, was a theory that was developed in the 1970s. And then I took that
00:54:57.860theory and then used it to explain male feminists. Okay, so bear with me. So in many species,
00:55:04.720there are multiple types of males in that species. The fancy term would be multiple
00:55:11.200male phenotypes. There is the usual male with the typical secondary sexual characteristics.
00:55:18.820He looks like a male. But then there's another type of male that mimics female morphology.
00:55:26.180So when the sneaky fucker comes along in front of the big male, he dupes the big male into thinking that he is a female who then goes around and surreptitiously mates with the females, unbeknownst to the male that was guarding the females.0.97
00:55:46.060So for example, you see that in some fish species. So because I'm well aware of many animal behavior, you know, as an evolutionary psychologist, that was my epiphany. I said, aha, male feminists are engaging in the sneaky fucker strategy. So there you go.0.98
00:56:04.700One thousand percent. And we've seen people get in trouble for this, too. And even, you know, they've been, you know, I don't want to say charged. I don't know if they were all if they were charged, but people that are male feminists have been accused of being abusive to women. So, yes. So they're sort of like the sneaky fucker honey badger of men.
00:56:25.180Look, I'm so kind. I'm empathetic. You don't have to really be threatened by me because I wear a1.00
00:56:32.320cloth and I cry when I put the gas into my car because I know that I am participating in the
00:56:40.140rape of Mother Earth. So someone as empathetic as me, you don't have to worry. Slip into that
00:56:46.320lingerie and let's watch a movie together. You're safe with me, sweetie.
00:56:49.820That's right. So true. And the honey badger story also reminds me, I feel like Greg Gutfeld is the honey badger of late night. He's, he's small, but he's tall and he's confident and he's dominating. And that's immediately who I thought of when you were talking about that and all those other loser late night hosts. And then you got Greg, go Greg. Oh my gosh, you guys, we have five minutes left. We have four minutes left. Who's counting? Oh, and go ahead, sneak in some questions.
00:57:18.000Well, I wanted to mention, I did really, I was very amused by your new term for rape that you called it undocumented lovemaking. I thought that was hilarious. And I guess the question, or I don't know, the statement, maybe it's more of a comment, but, you know, it seems like you do that, what I would call embrace and amplify.0.99
00:57:42.300And that's something Scott Adams would teach us as one of the persuasion techniques, that it's often better to mock people and to use that embrace and amplify just to make it seem ridiculous.
00:57:51.720And I think you're very brilliant at that.
00:57:57.860That's specifically why, to your point, that's why dictators, they will first go and kill off the satirists, the one with the sharp tongue, the one with the venomous pen.0.85
00:58:11.740because my biggest threat as a dictator is the guy who through his very surgical satire1.00
00:58:19.680can eradicate all my facade and bullshit. I don't have to go after the tall guys with big muscles.0.99
00:58:26.720Those are easy to handle. But the guy with the sharp tongue, I've got to get rid of him. So
00:58:31.500that's exactly the point that you're making. Well, ladies in the chat, and men too, if you
00:58:36.740feel like it. Yes or no. I mean, are you more attracted to a man with wit, you know, that can
00:58:43.360stimulate your brain or a man that can, I mean, is it the wit? Yes or no. Like what's the most
00:58:51.760attractive quality? I'm just going to watch, but we can, we can keep talking. But for me,
00:58:55.620I don't get the live chat. It's not updating on mine. You know what? You're probably better off,
00:59:00.900but I'll give you the results. We're an unruly bunch.
00:59:05.940The final question I have is I learned about Jonathan Haidt's moral foundations theory,
00:59:11.360and he talks about how there's these six dimensions like care, fairness, loyalty,
00:59:15.760authority, sanctity, and liberty. And he points out that liberals really only care about the first
00:59:20.420two, care and fairness. And then maybe it's a different theory, but I've seen the statistics
00:59:26.740that like liberals care more about what's far away
00:59:29.580rather than what's close to them or the people far away.
00:59:32.340And do you think those are the factors
01:00:17.920Well, and I hope that Jonathan, if he ever hears this, won't be upset, or Steven Pinker's.
01:00:24.240What I think they suffer from, while they are perfectly lovely people who do great academic work, they've got zero hunter, honey badger abilities.
01:00:36.740So while they can do the pontification, the professorial stuff, they cross their legs in a very just 100% there or that's not what wins the battle.
01:00:50.260What wins the battle is knowing when to use which modality. I can tuck my children to bed
01:00:58.880with the infinite love that I possess for my children, but if you come at me in a dark alley,1.00
01:01:05.940I'm going to fight you to the death if you try to mug me or rape me. It didn't change who I am.1.00
01:01:12.380I'm inherently a nice, sweet, affable person, but depending on the situation, I could be loving
01:01:18.500or I could be the honey badger and brutal the problem with folks like Steven Pinker and Jonathan
01:01:26.680Haidt is that they ascribe to the care part they're always about politeness and niceness
01:01:35.280I am as polite and as nice as anybody else in the right circumstance but I'm an MMA fighter in the
01:01:43.100other circumstance. If we could inject into them this little thing called testosterone,
01:01:49.040they would be better warriors and would be better at joining me and actually fighting this stuff
01:01:54.360rather than always crossing their legs. Maybe we can try and replace the SSRIs with testosterone.0.97
01:02:00.180Indeed. Exactly. I love that. Well, we promised we'd stick to an hour. I just want to let
01:02:04.800everybody know if you aren't already following Dr. Gadsad, what is wrong with you? But he also
