00:00:00.000
What Breaking Bad teaches us about politics, Moon.
00:00:02.820
Breaking Bad is one of the most important TV shows ever made.
00:00:06.420
It's undoubtedly the greatest social commentary in existence,
00:00:09.840
and its core message will continue to transcend time.
00:00:12.580
Which is why Breaking Bad won the Guinness World Record
00:00:14.800
for being the most critically acclaimed show of all time.
00:00:17.540
So what's so important about Breaking Bad?
00:00:19.460
What's the reason behind its popularity?
00:00:21.440
What does Breaking Bad actually tell us about the world around us?
00:00:24.160
And most importantly, what does Breaking Bad tell us about ourselves?
00:00:27.000
Well, truth is, Breaking Bad's about far more than meets the eye.
00:00:30.700
Because Breaking Bad serves as an essential message
00:00:33.040
that has never been as relevant as it is today.
00:00:35.600
The story begins with Walt's life falling apart.
00:00:38.060
Walter White is trapped in the mundane.
00:00:39.840
He's trapped in a loveless marriage,
00:00:56.140
trapped inside a dead end.
00:00:57.320
Working in a job he hates, scrubbing tires and shit like that.
00:01:00.180
He's a wagey.
00:01:01.360
He's in the Matrix.
00:01:02.300
He has no control of his life.
00:01:04.140
And his wife, like you see the sex scene,
00:01:05.740
his wife just gives him a limpy ass handjob
00:01:07.880
that he doesn't even want on his birthday.
00:01:10.000
It's sad.
00:01:11.040
There's no balls left in him.
00:01:12.560
He's stuck in the Matrix.
00:01:14.120
They have taken all his power away.
00:01:16.480
So the main transition in the show in season one,
00:01:19.120
when Walt shaves his head
00:01:20.420
and decides to start selling meth,
00:01:22.260
he goes,
00:01:22.700
I am awake.
00:01:25.820
I'm awake.
00:01:27.800
That's what I want to do with the stream.
00:01:29.380
I want to awaken people.
00:01:31.020
Not woke.
00:01:32.720
Become awake.
00:01:34.860
Become who you naturally are again.
00:01:36.900
Become alive again.
00:01:38.480
People suppress it so much,
00:01:40.080
they tell you to take your meds,
00:01:41.920
do the,
00:01:42.340
like they want to control you.
00:01:44.360
They want to domesticate you
00:01:46.560
and be this.
00:01:48.600
Then teaching job.
00:01:49.820
Trapped economically with little to no money,
00:01:52.160
working another job on the side
00:01:53.440
just to pay the bills and survive the next day.
00:01:55.940
Everyone in this life sees him for what he is,
00:01:57.980
a lifeless mule.
00:01:59.220
But this wasn't always the case.
00:02:00.720
Prior to being a teacher,
00:02:01.860
Walter earned an award in proton radiography,
00:02:04.420
which was given for his contribution
00:02:05.780
for his research that earned a Nobel Prize.
00:02:08.140
After graduating from university
00:02:09.640
with his stellar credentials,
00:02:11.160
he went on to create the highly successful company
00:02:13.220
called Grey Matter Technologies,
00:02:14.920
co-founding the business with his intelligent
00:02:16.380
and respectful girlfriend, Gretchen.
00:02:17.960
In this time, Walter White had it all.
00:02:20.100
Respect, money, a loving girlfriend
00:02:21.720
and limitless potential.
00:02:23.280
But all of this was now just a distant memory,
00:02:25.520
with Walter now living an entire life of regret.
00:02:28.480
In season five, episode six,
00:02:30.240
Walt tells Jesse about his deep-seated resentment.
00:02:32.820
He tells Jesse about his time
00:02:33.920
co-founding Grey Matter Technologies
00:02:35.300
and that after his breakup with Gretchen,
00:02:37.360
Walt decided to leave the company
00:02:38.580
and sell his shares for a measly price of $5,000.
00:02:42.080
What ended up becoming like a billion dollar company.
00:02:44.380
He sold out so that he could be with my wife
00:02:47.720
and then be in a small little condo
00:02:50.040
and work a wagey job washing cars
00:02:53.100
and teaching chemistry to high school kids that hate me.
00:02:57.300
He conformed.
00:02:58.740
He did what they tell you to do.
00:03:01.460
Get a job that you hate.
00:03:03.700
Marry a wife who hates you too.
00:03:06.140
Don't do anything you like doing
00:03:07.800
because that's mature.
00:03:09.520
Fuck maturity.
00:03:10.540
If that's what mature is, man,
00:03:11.560
I want to jump in pools, be on private jets all over the world,
00:03:15.660
making bread, smashing a hose.
00:03:18.380
I don't want that lame-ass life.
00:03:20.040
I don't know about you,
00:03:21.240
but if that's what you think mature is, go ahead.
00:03:23.920
Since leaving the company,
00:03:25.220
he tells Jesse that the company is now worth $2.16 billion,
00:03:29.380
stating that he looks at the company's valuation every week.
00:03:32.420
I sold my kid's birthright for a few minutes, right?
00:03:35.280
After leaving the company behind,
00:03:36.760
he went on to work in a research lab
00:03:38.260
until meeting Skylar at a diner
00:03:39.660
where they had their first child and bought their first house.
00:03:42.360
But in this time,
00:03:43.120
Walt was still ambitious,
00:03:44.300
thinking of bigger things,
00:03:45.440
certain of fulfilling his destiny.
00:03:47.060
Which is why Walt tells his new wife Skylar
00:03:48.660
that they need to get a bigger house
00:03:49.940
and take a risk to live above their means
00:03:51.820
as he's certain they will only go up.
00:03:53.620
Of course, this dream was only a dream.
00:03:56.600
Walt's career never gets higher than being a high school teacher,
00:03:59.120
where he teaches apathetic students
00:04:00.700
mundane basic chemistry year after year.
00:04:03.340
Walter understandably feels left behind.
00:04:05.300
He never reached his full potential.
00:04:06.740
His family disrespects him,
00:04:08.280
his former business stands above him,
00:04:09.920
his money and finances are underwhelming.
00:04:12.100
And then to top all of this off,
00:04:13.940
Walter is diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer,
00:04:16.720
which comes with medical fees that are more than enough
00:04:18.860
to completely bankrupt him and his family.
00:04:21.260
And this starts to bring in one of the most important parts
00:04:23.220
of this whole series.
00:04:24.260
Whilst it's subtle,
00:04:25.360
the series makes this key point
00:04:26.780
in showing the absurdity of how similar
00:04:28.660
Big Pharma is to the illegal drug trade.
00:04:31.080
In America, drugs for terminal illness
00:04:32.740
and rare diseases can cost over $3 million.
00:04:34.800
With these vital medicines being inflated
00:04:37.380
purely for the gain of a few pharmaceutical titans.
00:04:40.400
You can't trust anything that profits off your body,
00:04:43.580
that profits off of you, even hospitals.
00:04:45.800
Steezy told me something today that blew my mind.
00:04:47.860
He had a hospital bill for $2,000.
00:04:50.700
Then he posted on a story like,
00:04:52.140
what the fuck?
00:04:52.840
I don't even remember what this appointment was for.
00:04:54.820
And then his friend called him up, Alejandro,
00:04:56.720
and said, bro, don't pay that.
00:04:59.320
All you gotta do is call up the hospital
00:05:01.020
and ask him to break down what the bill was for.
00:05:04.660
So that $2,000 turned to $70.
00:05:08.000
What they did on the phone?
00:05:09.400
Well, I'm sorry.
00:05:10.260
Well, I'm just, well, I apologize.
00:05:12.300
Well, and we deduced.
00:05:14.160
Two-minute phone call went from $2,000 to $70.
00:05:19.140
They scam your health.
00:05:21.500
They lie about everything.
00:05:22.560
These price markups are becoming deadly.
00:05:26.760
And what's even scarier is that the FDA who regulates Big Pharma
00:05:29.640
is now becoming regulated by Big Pharma.
00:05:32.000
You see, the Food and Drug Administration
00:05:33.420
used to be funded by the government.
00:05:35.220
But today, the FDA is funded by the institutions and companies
00:05:38.320
it's supposed to regulate.
00:05:39.760
In fact, 45% of the FDA is solely funded by fees companies pay
00:05:44.000
when applying for medical approval.
00:05:45.360
And this has, in turn, led to the FDA
00:05:47.340
to almost double the amount of accepted applications.
00:05:49.640
And in diseases where there aren't many medical options for patients,
00:05:53.240
89% of these applications were approved first time round by the FDA.
00:05:57.420
Which, of course, allows Big Pharma to have an extremely tight grip.
00:06:00.740
Ha!
00:06:03.560
Whoa!
00:06:05.060
Bomboka!
00:06:06.080
Whoa!
00:06:08.600
I trust Big Pharma?
00:06:11.840
Well, 90%-
00:06:13.140
Fucking 95% of you did.
00:06:15.940
Blindly trust them.
00:06:17.060
Big Pharma and government works hand-in-hand
00:06:20.620
to control you as much as possible.
00:06:24.700
Whoopsie!
00:06:25.660
Oops!
00:06:27.440
Oops!
00:06:28.780
...over American society,
00:06:30.320
where the most influential businesses in America
00:06:32.440
profit from the suffering of its customers.
00:06:35.660
But not me, though.
00:06:36.840
All of you.
00:06:37.340
To the point where prices are so jacked up
00:06:39.520
that a highly educated teacher with two jobs
00:06:41.960
faces the very real prospect of going bankrupt.
00:06:44.760
A prospect of leaving nothing to his name and family
00:06:47.540
just to pay the exorbitant bonuses of Big Pharma's CEO.
00:06:50.940
And you guys are saying this show is sad?
00:06:52.420
This is the reality for a lot of people
00:06:54.280
and they don't ever realize it.
00:06:55.620
It's exactly for this reason
00:06:57.100
that Walt is put into a nightmarish conundrum.
00:07:03.380
In business, money is equated to value.
00:07:05.540
The wealth of an individual is correlated
00:07:07.180
with the amount of value they provide to society.
00:07:09.420
However, when it comes to drugs that save human life,
00:07:11.720
does this same standard hold true?
00:07:13.200
This is exactly the question Breaking Bad works to answer.
00:07:16.260
And it's also why Breaking Bad's first season
00:07:18.060
couldn't have been produced at a better time.
00:07:19.900
Breaking Bad was first produced in 2008,
00:07:22.200
the exact same year as the financial crash,
00:07:24.420
where the banks got bailed out
00:07:25.640
and the bubble was inflated exponentially.
00:07:27.840
And the people paying the price for this
00:07:29.160
was the average American worker,
00:07:30.940
via quantitative easing, money printing, and inflation.
00:07:33.580
While at the same time, the public's wages stagnated.
00:07:36.240
Which is why Walter White represents
00:07:37.740
the average middle-aged man in this time.
00:07:39.540
Walter is repressed, overworked, underpaid,
00:07:41.820
can't afford a doctor, can't afford a family,
00:07:43.820
all while the people at the top are indifferent.
00:07:45.780
Hey.
00:07:47.780
Stop believing that rich people, money doesn't buy happiness.
00:07:51.720
Bro, I've been around a lot of millionaires recently.
00:07:53.640
I just came back from Puerto Rico
00:07:54.680
chilling with these fucking crypto millionaires
00:07:56.420
and they're trying to inspire me
00:07:57.600
and like fix my mindset
00:07:58.500
because I think like a broke person.
00:08:00.240
And being around them, bro,
00:08:01.500
they're genuinely the happiest people I've ever met.
00:08:04.180
You gotta stop believing that.
00:08:05.640
That, well, these rich people,
00:08:07.820
they are happy.
00:08:08.960
Trust me.
00:08:09.760
They live life.
00:08:10.780
They get to do what they want,
00:08:11.720
when they want.
00:08:12.360
They eat the best food,
00:08:13.180
fuck the baddest bitches,
00:08:14.640
jump in the best pools by the best beaches,
00:08:17.060
whenever they want.
00:08:18.180
Right now, tomorrow,
00:08:19.200
they work only on their phone.
00:08:20.580
They don't need to obey anybody.
00:08:22.120
Of course they're happier.
00:08:23.660
Stop believing that.
00:08:25.300
Walter is unable to afford a standard of living
00:08:27.480
that provides him with basic dignity.
00:08:29.300
Embroiled in debt,
00:08:30.220
no savings,
00:08:30.880
no money,
00:08:31.400
living an atomized, transient, lonely life
00:08:33.380
with just a few months to live,
00:08:34.760
Walt is now thrown into the abyss.
00:08:36.700
This is all a recipe for radical change
00:08:38.780
because nothing matters anymore.
00:08:40.380
His family doesn't care about him,
00:08:41.480
his peers look down on him,
00:08:42.520
and death is imminent.
00:08:43.820
At this point,
00:08:44.540
there's nothing left for Walter to lose.
00:08:47.580
Nothing.
00:08:48.480
The story of Walter White
00:08:49.580
is a story of Walter's transition
00:08:51.160
into Breaking Bad.
00:08:52.460
God damn right.
00:08:53.740
In fact, Walter White represents a concept
00:08:55.560
I talk about often,
00:08:56.740
the idea of the young young shadow self.
00:08:58.620
At the start of the show,
00:08:59.520
we see Walter's typical persona.
00:09:01.260
Walt is just your normal, mild-mannered guy.
00:09:03.400
But the reason he's so normal
00:09:04.640
is because he hasn't been in abnormal circumstances.
00:09:07.540
But now with Walt suddenly being faced
00:09:09.020
with an overwhelming set of circumstances,
00:09:10.740
Walter decides to take on
00:09:12.380
some temporary abnormal action.
00:09:14.080
Give up on what they tell you to be.
00:09:16.880
And then you become happier.
00:09:19.180
Once you realize that it's all a scam,
00:09:20.840
it's all a lie.
00:09:21.900
We all even got cancer
00:09:23.200
from a bunch of fumes in the lab, bro.
00:09:24.960
It all comes from the top.
00:09:26.620
They give you cancer,
00:09:27.620
they feed you bullshit,
00:09:28.880
they scam the shit out of you
00:09:30.040
with all the health that they lie to you
00:09:31.840
and tell you that it's good for you.
00:09:34.120
They tell you to take these jobs, bro.
00:09:35.840
They will control you until you die,
00:09:38.880
until you're $200,000 in debt
00:09:41.060
and your family's got to take it over
00:09:42.900
because you got cancer from something
00:09:44.820
that wasn't even in your control.
00:09:47.900
Wake up, man.
00:09:49.000
I am awake.
00:09:50.840
Be like Walt.
00:09:52.120
Sell meth.
00:09:52.520
And so Walter begins his journey
00:09:54.240
into the world of meth and brutality.
00:09:56.260
And all of this backstory
00:09:57.160
is essential to understanding
00:09:58.380
the broader meaning of Breaking Bad.
00:10:00.220
Because the transformation of Walter White
00:10:01.720
throughout Breaking Bad
00:10:02.660
is a warning that every member in society
00:10:04.800
can become evil in the right circumstances.
00:10:07.680
You watching this right now
00:10:08.720
could very well become a tyrant.
00:10:10.360
You could easily become the monster you hate.
00:10:12.300
And this has been documented
00:10:13.360
in the real world so many times.
00:10:15.420
One of the most famous examples of this
00:10:17.140
was the book called Ordinary Man.
00:10:18.860
Ordinary Man's this book
00:10:19.800
about German policemen in World War II.
00:10:21.340
These police were sent into Poland in the war,
00:10:23.960
rounding up stadiums of people
00:10:25.480
and shipping them off in trains,
00:10:27.100
where these policemen would commit
00:10:28.480
the worst atrocities imaginable.
00:10:30.680
It was so bad that these policemen
00:10:32.080
would become physically ill
00:10:33.380
by what they had to do.
00:10:34.460
And yet the most striking part of all of this
00:10:36.240
is that they had the choice to not do it.
00:10:38.340
They didn't have to do any of this,
00:10:39.760
and yet they consciously chose to.
00:10:41.600
The book highlights the very real way
00:10:43.240
you can end up in this evil place
00:10:44.920
just one step at a time.
00:10:46.240
It shows how these awful events
00:10:47.700
like those in World War II
00:10:48.800
can't just be understood as historical fact,
00:10:50.920
because instead,
00:10:52.200
we need to understand the casual pathways
00:10:53.960
towards this transformation,
00:10:55.480
because all these evil atrocities
00:10:57.020
happen at one step at a time.
00:10:58.640
Which is why in the case of Breaking Bad,
00:11:00.260
we need to understand Walt's full backstory
00:11:02.040
to understand the true reality
00:11:03.620
of how any one of us
00:11:04.700
could become a ruthless drug lord
00:11:06.100
given the right circumstances.
00:11:08.600
Walter first tiptoes into the drug trade
00:11:10.560
when his DEA brother-in-law, Hank,
00:11:12.360
invites him on a drug bust.
00:11:13.700
There, he sees his former student,
00:11:15.340
Jesse Pinkman,
00:11:16.060
running away from the scene.
00:11:17.880
Pinkman?
00:11:18.280
Having known Jesse
00:11:19.280
and needing a quick, easy way
00:11:20.640
of making money,
00:11:21.700
Walt offers to cook with him.
00:11:22.880
The partnership being that
00:11:23.780
Walt does the cooking
00:11:24.580
and Jesse does the selling,
00:11:26.040
using each other's strengths
00:11:26.920
to make a quick buck.
00:11:28.140
You, uh,
00:11:29.360
you want to cook crystal meth?
00:11:31.020
After some convincing,
00:11:32.080
the two begin working on
00:11:33.040
You, uh, bitch,
00:11:35.100
want to cook crystal meth, bitch?
00:11:36.680
in their first batch.
00:11:37.720
This is Walt's first step
00:11:39.340
into Breaking Bad.
00:11:40.540
Walter is outwardly rejecting
00:11:41.840
any handouts
00:11:42.620
from his former business partners,
00:11:43.860
all to earn a big amount of cash
00:11:45.320
and respect before he dies.
00:11:47.040
Because that's what matters more.
00:11:48.620
Like, that's,
00:11:49.380
it's not just about the money,
00:11:50.720
it's about the respect.
00:11:51.800
It's about how you feel.
00:11:52.980
It's about your character.
00:11:54.320
He rejected all those handouts
00:11:55.740
because then you just be a bitch
00:11:57.100
to the guy who gave it to you.
00:11:58.720
I don't want to work for nobody,
00:12:00.140
neither does Walter, man.
00:12:01.240
And as a man,
00:12:02.020
you really know that deep down.
00:12:03.480
A lot of these guys in the chat
00:12:04.480
would lie and say,
00:12:05.200
like,
00:12:05.260
if somebody offered me a million,
00:12:06.540
I would take it.
00:12:07.880
But then you really,
00:12:09.120
you're never going to respect yourself
00:12:10.740
to the degree
00:12:11.880
that you need as a man.
00:12:13.620
But in this time,
00:12:15.340
Walt is incredibly naive
00:12:16.560
to the criminal world
00:12:17.400
and sees criminals
00:12:18.060
as rational humans
00:12:19.020
he can talk to with respect.
00:12:20.460
But this doesn't last for very long.
00:12:22.100
After Jesse Pinkman
00:12:22.920
sells Steeler Crazy 8,
00:12:24.420
Crazy 8 lures them out
00:12:25.440
and threatens to kill Walt and Jesse
00:12:26.880
and steal their formula.
00:12:28.060
To survive this nightmare scenario,
00:12:29.640
Walt creates a poisonous gas to escape.
00:12:31.560
Although somehow,
00:12:32.380
Crazy 8 narrowly survives the gas.
00:12:34.360
So now Walt is faced
00:12:35.360
with his first major moral conundrum.
00:12:37.320
What possible choice
00:12:38.180
do you have at this point
00:12:39.000
when you have a drug dealer
00:12:39.900
who wants to kill you
00:12:40.880
and will kill you?
00:12:41.900
There's only one option.
00:12:42.800
So Jesse and Walt flip a coin
00:12:44.380
and sure enough,
00:12:45.560
Walt is now forced
00:12:46.400
into killing Crazy 8.
00:12:47.900
As you'd expect,
00:12:48.860
this moment taints Walt's soul
00:12:50.340
and the transition
00:12:51.240
into the shadow self
00:12:52.140
is underway.
00:12:52.940
Because not only is Walt
00:12:53.880
cooking drugs
00:12:54.520
and being involved
00:12:55.120
with the death of Crazy 8,
00:12:56.340
but Walt is constantly absent.
00:12:57.900
He's lying to his family.
00:12:59.060
He's hiding his cancer,
00:12:59.900
his relationship
00:13:00.440
with Jesse and his whereabouts.
00:13:02.020
All of these lies and actions
00:13:03.140
are eroding his moral filter
00:13:04.420
and this brings about
00:13:05.400
exactly what he's trying to avoid.
00:13:07.760
His lies are breaking apart his family.
00:13:09.940
And with the trauma
00:13:10.660
of Crazy 8's death,
00:13:11.640
this whole situation
00:13:12.660
is becoming too overwhelming.
00:13:14.280
So Walt decides that for now,
00:13:15.480
it's time to stop this mad fantasy.
00:13:17.340
Maybe he should just accept his fate
00:13:19.000
as a meek,
00:13:19.680
mild-mannered,
00:13:20.300
docile man.
00:13:21.320
Nope.
00:13:22.160
But then what happened before
00:13:23.640
on his birthday,
00:13:24.560
he just,
00:13:24.880
this was what he got
00:13:25.620
from his wife.
00:13:28.140
Weak little handy.
00:13:30.080
And he's like,
00:13:30.480
let me just fall asleep.
00:13:32.020
But look at her now, man.
00:13:33.180
The PTA meeting.
00:13:34.520
Woo!
00:13:35.400
So Walt ignores Jesse's suggestion
00:13:37.040
to keep cooking
00:13:37.800
and goes back to his regular life.
00:13:39.520
But this is a hit to his ego,
00:13:40.860
his pride.
00:13:41.740
He's back to the milquetoast life
00:13:42.980
he was so desperate to escape.
00:13:44.460
Back to having no control.
00:13:45.940
Back to being just another consumer.
00:13:48.300
Wagey!
00:13:48.880
Brokey!
00:13:49.400
I have 10 supercars
00:13:50.520
and 10 mansions.
00:13:51.600
My perspicacity's
00:13:52.520
on a different level.
00:13:53.640
I can steal your energy
00:13:54.760
with my mind.
00:13:56.240
I can kill you
00:13:57.320
with my tattoos.
00:13:59.580
All the girls in the world.
00:14:01.660
I have Aikido.
00:14:02.600
I've won four kickboxing champions.
00:14:07.000
With these feelings
00:14:07.980
and the money starting to come in
00:14:09.040
from the last cook,
00:14:10.220
Walter can't help
00:14:10.860
but quickly dip his toes
00:14:11.900
back into the underworld.
00:14:13.200
So Walt and Jesse
00:14:13.780
get back to cooking
00:14:14.620
after Jesse finds
00:14:15.520
a new distributor,
00:14:16.560
a psychotic and evil distributor
00:14:18.100
known as Tuco.
00:14:19.160
After Jesse goes up to him
00:14:20.280
to sell their batch,
00:14:21.420
Tuco beats
00:14:21.940
Tuco is my favourite character
00:14:23.240
to up Jesse
00:14:23.700
and steals his batch
00:14:24.640
without paying any money for it.
00:14:26.240
So Walt makes the conscious decision
00:14:27.620
to go back
00:14:28.240
and finish the business deal,
00:14:29.520
telling Tuco
00:14:30.000
he wants the money
00:14:30.840
in compensation
00:14:31.400
for what he did to Jesse.
00:14:32.600
After Tuco laughs
00:14:33.400
and threatens him,
00:14:34.420
Walt blows up
00:14:34.980
his entire building.
00:14:36.020
This is the moment
00:14:36.760
we get to see
00:14:37.420
a milquetoast,
00:14:38.180
mild-mannered man
00:14:38.940
merging into his shadow self,
00:14:40.420
releasing all this pent-up rage,
00:14:41.940
aggression and repression
00:14:42.800
into finally becoming
00:14:43.700
someone he respects.
00:14:44.840
With death ticking
00:14:45.560
in the background
00:14:46.200
and his unfulfilled life
00:14:47.360
awaiting him,
00:14:48.200
Walt's able to bring
00:14:48.900
his shadow self
00:14:49.520
into reality
00:14:50.180
through the persona
00:14:50.960
known as Heisenberg.
00:14:52.320
This shadow self
00:14:52.980
is manifested
00:14:53.520
through all of Walt's life,
00:14:54.920
all the sacrifices
00:14:55.820
Walt made for other people
00:14:56.740
to like him,
00:14:57.520
all the humiliation,
00:14:58.600
all the fake smiles,
00:14:59.600
all the facades.
00:15:00.560
All of this
00:15:01.100
is bubbling away at Walt,
00:15:02.220
having his business ideas
00:15:03.500
taken away from him,
00:15:04.500
having other people
00:15:05.200
take credit for his genius
00:15:06.260
with nothing
00:15:07.240
ever going his way.
00:15:08.420
For most of Walter White's life,
00:15:09.860
he has been a pushover
00:15:10.980
and Walt like many-
00:15:11.800
And now,
00:15:12.980
where's he Bugatti?
00:15:14.300
I've got a Bugatti.
00:15:16.280
I've got a Bugatti.
00:15:17.100
I've got a Bugatti 10 supercars.
00:15:18.560
Many of us think
00:15:19.040
that being a pushover
00:15:19.900
is a good thing
00:15:20.620
because Walter White
00:15:21.400
confuses harmlessness
00:15:22.280
with morality.
00:15:23.440
But just because
00:15:24.060
you can't do damage
00:15:24.920
doesn't mean you're moral,
00:15:26.060
which is exactly
00:15:26.760
what we start to see
00:15:27.500
in Breaking Bad
00:15:28.220
because the show
00:15:29.060
highlights the very real way
00:15:30.300
that harmless people,
00:15:31.300
pushover mule-like people,
00:15:32.640
are far from moral.
00:15:33.860
Angry because you're
00:15:34.700
doing your best
00:15:35.400
and you're trying
00:15:35.840
to get along with everyone
00:15:36.760
and nothing ever goes your way.
00:15:39.180
Well, it's because
00:15:39.980
you're a pushover.
00:15:41.040
Just because you can't
00:15:41.740
do any damage
00:15:42.420
doesn't mean you're moral.
00:15:43.500
It just means you're...
00:15:44.500
You don't have
00:15:45.500
the capability for mayhem.
00:15:48.200
And that makes you a pushover.
00:15:50.120
You can't say no to people
00:15:52.220
and you'll go along
00:15:53.240
with the crowd.
00:15:53.800
And then if the crowd
00:15:55.100
does something
00:15:55.580
particularly pathological,
00:15:57.360
which it's liable to do,
00:15:59.080
you won't be able
00:15:59.640
to resist it.
00:16:00.420
And that's exactly
00:16:01.080
what we see with Walt.
00:16:02.100
He's always having to lie.
00:16:03.160
He's manipulating
00:16:03.780
those around him
00:16:04.480
in mild ways.
00:16:05.320
He's even hiding
00:16:05.940
his disease to his family
00:16:06.860
out of cowardice,
00:16:08.080
with Walt doing all of this
00:16:09.220
just to escape confrontation.
00:16:11.040
But in the criminal underworld,
00:16:12.400
Walt takes on
00:16:12.940
the Elias Heisenberg,
00:16:14.020
which allows him
00:16:14.540
to be the man
00:16:15.000
he never was.
00:16:16.000
His testosterone increases,
00:16:17.300
his attitude changes
00:16:18.260
because Walt
00:16:18.900
is becoming a new man.
00:16:20.380
A man with a mission,
00:16:21.400
a man with respect.
00:16:22.820
Walter White is morphing
00:16:23.780
into a ruthless,
00:16:24.840
assertive man
00:16:25.560
taking what he wants
00:16:26.540
and saying what he wants.
00:16:28.020
With this aggressiveness
00:16:28.920
coming out to those
00:16:29.660
around him and his students,
00:16:30.940
it's a very stark contrast
00:16:32.160
to the beginning of the show
00:16:33.220
because Walter White
00:16:34.300
is finally breaking bad.
00:16:36.200
You're goddamn right.
00:16:37.580
You're goddamn right.
00:16:39.920
I am the one who knocks.
00:16:45.660
You're goddamn right.
00:16:47.240
But before we continue
00:16:48.120
the story,
00:16:48.500
Ah, you're goddamn wrong.
00:16:51.500
Well, it's possible
00:16:52.160
Now back to the video.
00:16:58.840
The first major sign
00:16:59.720
of Walt's shadow
00:17:00.300
self-dripping into
00:17:01.120
his personal life
00:17:01.960
is seen with his
00:17:02.740
encounter with Gretchen,
00:17:03.940
where Walter releases
00:17:04.760
his repressed anger at Gretchen.
00:17:06.540
A sudden change
00:17:07.140
to the friendly mild man
00:17:07.980
of front he was
00:17:08.540
so accustomed to putting up.
00:17:09.980
His abrasive rejection
00:17:11.000
of her playing a role
00:17:11.880
in his life
00:17:12.440
comes with him
00:17:13.020
aggressively telling her
00:17:13.960
to leave him alone.
00:17:15.160
Similarly, in another scene,
00:17:16.400
Walter is brutal
00:17:17.040
with his failing student
00:17:17.840
telling him,
00:17:18.380
a fail is a fail,
00:17:19.760
telling the student
00:17:20.300
that he doesn't care
00:17:21.020
for the consequences
00:17:21.800
of his own failures.
00:17:23.140
And in the underworld,
00:17:24.060
Walter's quick to capitalize
00:17:25.100
on any opportunity,
00:17:26.300
no matter the morals
00:17:27.000
behind it,
00:17:27.540
to maximize his profits.
00:17:28.940
A real businessman,
00:17:30.060
because that's what
00:17:30.500
they all do.
00:17:31.480
We think Walt
00:17:32.340
is a bad person,
00:17:33.560
but this is what
00:17:34.400
every single person
00:17:35.400
who actually makes money
00:17:36.420
to that level,
00:17:37.500
that's what they all do.
00:17:38.140
They don't give a fuck.
00:17:39.660
They don't give a fuck.
00:17:40.600
For example,
00:17:41.460
when word of mouth
00:17:42.020
spreads that Jesse
00:17:42.720
was the one who killed
00:17:43.400
the meth head
00:17:43.860
who robbed Skinny Pete,
00:17:45.160
Walt uses this opportunity
00:17:46.240
to gain more power,
00:17:47.300
reputation,
00:17:48.000
and money for his primary goal.
00:17:49.540
And again,
00:17:49.900
this is seen with Walt's
00:17:50.700
willingness to kill Badger
00:17:51.740
in prison after his lawyer's suggestion,
00:17:53.700
highlighting the newfound
00:17:54.500
ruthlessness
00:17:55.060
that has saturated his psyche.
00:17:56.920
Walter White's descent
00:17:57.740
into the shadow self
00:17:58.680
perfectly mirrors the descent
00:17:59.920
of those to scart an ordinary man.
00:18:01.800
In this book,
00:18:02.400
the author makes a key point
00:18:03.480
in showing how in every society
00:18:04.900
across cultures,
00:18:05.820
religions,
00:18:06.280
and epochs,
00:18:07.080
people always see
00:18:07.980
career advancement.
00:18:09.020
In every society,
00:18:09.820
the majority of people
00:18:10.800
will act awfully.
00:18:11.800
They will be evil.
00:18:12.780
They will engage
00:18:13.360
in disgusting behavior
00:18:14.500
in the name of progress.
00:18:16.120
The book concludes
00:18:16.800
that about 85 to 90%
00:18:18.300
of people will,
00:18:19.300
when given a sufficient
00:18:20.080
position of power,
00:18:21.200
carry out any action,
00:18:22.420
even if murderous,
00:18:23.340
in order to fulfill
00:18:24.160
the idea of improvement.
00:18:25.640
In the book,
00:18:26.160
this immoral action
00:18:26.880
comes with shooting
00:18:27.620
unarmed civilians
00:18:28.340
to ensure the progress
00:18:29.260
of the German nation.
00:18:30.180
But this example
00:18:30.800
isn't some anomaly.
00:18:31.960
The Stanley Milgram experiments
00:18:33.160
found that most people
00:18:34.040
would commit and inflict
00:18:35.080
physical pain
00:18:36.100
on another human
00:18:36.900
if they thought it brought
00:18:37.860
security by following orders.
00:18:39.820
The rare people
00:19:01.380
who didn't commit
00:19:02.060
these acts
00:19:02.560
were those who had
00:19:03.320
integrated the shadow
00:19:04.280
and persona self
00:19:05.060
to become a grounded
00:19:05.820
human being.
00:19:06.540
So if we use this
00:19:07.380
spiritual knowledge,
00:19:09.120
the idea of Walt
00:19:09.800
shrugging off his moral
00:19:10.660
framework starts to
00:19:11.440
make a lot of sense.
00:19:12.720
Now in this point
00:19:13.360
in the series,
00:19:14.080
Jesse is scarred
00:19:14.740
by the death
00:19:15.200
of the meth head
00:19:15.780
who robs Ginny Pete.
00:19:17.180
And added on to
00:19:17.920
the witnessing of this death
00:19:18.960
is a growing reputation
00:19:20.000
after Will Gets Out
00:19:20.980
that Jesse was involved
00:19:21.980
in the murder.
00:19:22.780
The combination of
00:19:23.500
these two things
00:19:24.040
brings a wave of pressure
00:19:25.040
that Jesse can no longer handle.
00:19:26.600
So after falling in love
00:19:27.580
with an addict next door,
00:19:28.740
Jesse eventually becomes
00:19:29.700
numbed in a cloud of drugs.
00:19:31.180
And yet at the same time,
00:19:32.260
their lawyer Saul Goodman
00:19:33.200
brings in a new distributor
00:19:34.360
for their product.
00:19:35.340
This time the distributor
00:19:36.280
is the calm and collected man
00:19:37.600
known as Gus Fring.
00:19:38.720
However, the catch is
00:19:39.700
that Gus only works
00:19:40.640
with reliable partners.
00:19:42.000
And after seeing
00:19:42.520
Walt's partnership
00:19:43.140
with the drug addict,
00:19:43.900
Jesse,
00:19:44.480
Gus is understandably hesitant
00:19:45.700
to work with them.
00:19:51.720
Although after Walt
00:19:52.420
convinces Gus
00:19:53.220
they come to a deal.
00:19:54.460
So now Walt needs
00:19:55.120
to get the product to Gus.
00:19:56.400
Because if he can deliver
00:19:57.320
this product on time,
00:19:58.480
Walter will have more money
00:19:59.520
than he ever dreamed
00:20:00.380
of making in the first place.
00:20:01.760
However, Jesse is becoming
00:20:02.960
less and less reliable.
00:20:04.000
Falling into a drug spiral
00:20:05.260
with his addict girlfriend.
00:20:06.500
With Jesse's girlfriend
00:20:07.380
luring him away from the business.
00:20:08.720
Look at her sucking
00:20:09.680
your energy, bro.
00:20:10.820
They're not a good influence
00:20:11.960
on you.
00:20:12.320
They're just going to encourage
00:20:13.100
your bad behavior
00:20:13.820
because they can't lead.
00:20:15.260
If you're in a bad place,
00:20:16.920
she will make you worse.
00:20:19.200
Focus on yourself, Jesse.
00:20:20.420
And into a new life
00:20:21.440
far away from home.
00:20:22.640
She wants to escape with Jesse
00:20:23.840
and threatens Walt's whole plan.
00:20:25.400
So when it comes to
00:20:26.080
the big deal with Gus,
00:20:27.180
Walter's left to do
00:20:27.900
the deal himself.
00:20:28.960
When Walter wives are Jesse's,
00:20:30.260
he sees Jesse and Jane
00:20:31.320
passed out on drugs.
00:20:32.340
With Jane vomiting
00:20:33.440
and suffocating
00:20:34.280
in a drug-induced haze.
00:20:35.760
And then added on to this,
00:20:37.220
Walt's wife births
00:20:38.040
their new child.
00:20:38.920
Whoa, that was fucked up
00:20:39.700
that I just laughed
00:20:40.280
at her choking.
00:20:40.920
Did you just see that?
00:20:42.300
Damn, why did that
00:20:43.180
trigger a laugh out of me
00:20:44.160
that I saw her conv-
00:20:45.140
Suffocating in-
00:20:45.960
Whoa, I really just
00:20:47.220
laughed at that, bro.
00:20:48.080
Is something wrong with me?
00:20:49.580
I mean, I have seen
00:20:50.240
this show seven times
00:20:51.200
because I know that scene,
00:20:52.160
but like, I should not
00:20:53.200
have just like,
00:20:54.140
that was my automatic response.
00:20:55.940
Yo, I got shit to work on.
00:20:57.100
I got like, man!
00:20:58.380
Wow, bro.
00:21:01.140
Yo, don't clip that part.
00:21:02.460
Don't clip that part.
00:21:03.780
In a drug-induced haze.
00:21:05.200
And then, added on to this,
00:21:06.640
Walt's wife births
00:21:07.480
their new child.
00:21:08.520
This whole situation
00:21:09.520
is the perfect conundrum
00:21:10.620
that represents
00:21:11.200
Walt's character.
00:21:12.240
Does he care more
00:21:12.980
about the new life
00:21:13.620
of his family
00:21:14.200
and the life of Jane?
00:21:15.280
Or is he more interested
00:21:16.320
in business and money?
00:21:17.960
The question is answered
00:21:18.820
with Walt's absence of action
00:21:20.060
in both of these events.
00:21:22.280
Jane's death marks the end
00:21:23.720
of Walt's mild-mannered
00:21:24.800
milquetoast life.
00:21:25.720
Because by this point
00:21:26.760
in Walt's descent,
00:21:27.720
there is no longer
00:21:28.380
any way out.
00:21:29.440
There is no redemption.
00:21:30.640
And that's why
00:21:31.120
it's this moment
00:21:31.840
that leads on to
00:21:32.460
one of the most important
00:21:33.460
parts of the series.
00:21:34.740
It was probably good
00:21:35.820
that Walt didn't save her,
00:21:37.020
though.
00:21:37.420
I ain't gonna lie,
00:21:38.140
like, he probably
00:21:38.660
really helped Jesse out.
00:21:41.620
Like, she...
00:21:42.460
What do you think, Chad?
00:21:43.600
If you saw this show,
00:21:44.780
is Walt a bad person
00:21:45.860
for letting her die?
00:21:47.120
Or should he have saved her?
00:21:48.720
I'm saying, yo,
00:21:49.400
he probably saved Jesse's life.
00:21:51.000
Because this next chapter
00:21:52.220
shows Walt's full shadow side.
00:21:54.080
And it's also this part
00:21:55.120
of the series
00:21:55.540
that conveys
00:21:56.040
the broader message
00:21:56.860
of the parallels
00:21:57.640
between Big Pharma
00:21:58.540
and the drug trade.
00:21:59.700
After the deal
00:22:00.300
between Gus and Walt,
00:22:01.520
Walt's shadow self
00:22:02.360
is stroked by Gus
00:22:03.120
to get him to cook more.
00:22:04.400
Gus strokes the shadow
00:22:05.240
by recognising
00:22:05.960
Walt's untapped genius.
00:22:07.600
He recognises his potential
00:22:08.840
and what he's capable of.
00:22:10.200
It's this recognition
00:22:11.060
that has been missing
00:22:11.820
in Walt's life.
00:22:12.780
Walt craves validation
00:22:13.740
for his work,
00:22:14.680
and Gus gives him just that,
00:22:16.320
offering Walter
00:22:16.940
three million dollars
00:22:17.960
for three months of work.
00:22:19.320
But the question is,
00:22:20.340
who is Gus?
00:22:21.120
What does the character
00:22:22.120
behind Gus represent?
00:22:23.900
Three million dollars
00:22:24.840
for three months of work?
00:22:26.860
It sounds good,
00:22:28.320
but Walt could have done
00:22:29.840
better on his own.
00:22:31.480
Three million
00:22:31.960
for three months of work?
00:22:36.280
Would you take that chance?
00:22:38.220
It's selling meth,
00:22:39.320
killing people?
00:22:40.620
I want 30 mil.
00:22:42.100
Well, in my view,
00:22:42.720
Gus's character represents
00:22:43.720
the cold and hollow facade
00:22:44.960
of the corporation,
00:22:46.040
and in particular,
00:22:46.900
the shadowy
00:22:47.460
Big Pharma industry.
00:22:48.300
While Gus is obviously
00:22:49.740
not trading legal narcotics,
00:22:51.440
the structure of his corporation
00:22:52.640
has a very similar framework
00:22:53.980
to Big Pharma,
00:22:54.920
which is why Gus's corporate
00:22:56.100
attitude to narcotics
00:22:57.260
is kind of scarier
00:22:58.240
than the thuggish dealers
00:22:59.100
we see up until now.
00:23:00.420
Professor David Pearson
00:23:01.400
examined this connection
00:23:02.380
between Gus Fring
00:23:03.220
and neoliberalism.
00:23:04.700
The source of capitalism
00:23:05.880
we-
00:23:06.060
Yeah, Gus Fring
00:23:07.420
is like a politician.
00:23:09.020
Gus Fring is all presentable,
00:23:10.440
cool,
00:23:11.020
has a nice front
00:23:11.940
of the burger shops
00:23:13.140
or whatever.
00:23:14.020
Los Pollos Hermanos,
00:23:15.180
the chicken store.
00:23:16.260
He's like,
00:23:16.780
nice attire,
00:23:17.460
everything.
00:23:17.640
He could run for politics.
00:23:19.660
He even had connections
00:23:20.540
with the DEA,
00:23:21.520
but deep down,
00:23:22.520
he's organizing,
00:23:23.720
like doing shady deals
00:23:25.080
across different borders,
00:23:26.820
owns the biggest drug ring.
00:23:28.900
That's exactly what's going on
00:23:30.420
in the real world, bro.
00:23:31.520
You know who the biggest
00:23:32.180
drug dealer is?
00:23:33.160
The DEA.
00:23:34.860
You know who owns
00:23:35.500
all the prisons?
00:23:36.580
Private companies.
00:23:40.540
It's just like that.
00:23:41.860
Gus Fring is the representation,
00:23:43.860
not just of neoliberalism,
00:23:45.500
of the elites.
00:23:46.400
They look good on paper,
00:23:49.280
on TV,
00:23:50.740
but they're the shadiest
00:23:51.700
motherfuckers out there.
00:23:52.900
We've been subject to
00:23:53.900
in recent years
00:23:54.500
that has led to the most
00:23:55.480
atomized,
00:23:56.300
meaningless,
00:23:56.920
nihilistic,
00:23:57.560
empty era in history.
00:23:59.080
And Gus represents
00:23:59.820
this attitude
00:24:00.500
where nothing is more important
00:24:01.760
than maximum profits.
00:24:03.340
Where to achieve
00:24:04.040
maximum profits,
00:24:04.960
you have to be
00:24:05.300
as bland as possible,
00:24:06.460
as fake as possible,
00:24:07.420
and as ruthless as possible.
00:24:08.960
Where there is no emotional
00:24:09.980
identity,
00:24:10.640
just pure greed.
00:24:11.640
I mentioned at the start
00:24:12.720
of this video
00:24:13.160
about Big Pharma's
00:24:13.900
influence over the FDA,
00:24:15.200
and how the regulators
00:24:16.020
of Big Pharma
00:24:16.800
are in fact
00:24:17.440
on the payroll
00:24:18.200
of Big Pharma.
00:24:19.240
Well,
00:24:19.500
this all corresponds
00:24:20.280
directly with Breaking Bad,
00:24:21.800
where those who are supposed
00:24:22.600
to regulate
00:24:23.140
monopolized criminals
00:24:24.000
like Gus
00:24:24.560
are in fact
00:24:25.120
on the payroll
00:24:25.800
of Gus,
00:24:26.520
with Gus and the DEA
00:24:27.620
being closely allied
00:24:28.580
with one another,
00:24:29.520
just like Big Pharma
00:24:30.320
is tied to FDA regulators,
00:24:31.740
the government,
00:24:32.300
and media.
00:24:32.800
This is because
00:24:33.640
to operate
00:24:34.180
such a monstrous empire
00:24:35.440
that feeds on the misery
00:24:36.660
of untold millions
00:24:37.860
through chemical dependence,
00:24:39.340
addiction,
00:24:39.920
and exploitation,
00:24:40.960
you have to have
00:24:41.420
this plastic friendly
00:24:42.400
and empty front
00:24:43.120
if you want to survive
00:24:43.900
under the radar.
00:24:44.840
It's fake empathy.
00:24:46.300
Look at him.
00:24:48.760
Those are the most evil people, bro.
00:24:50.180
It's exactly this framework
00:24:51.420
that led to Walter
00:24:52.140
becoming a drug lord
00:24:53.020
in the first place.
00:24:54.020
It's the model
00:24:54.560
that threatened to bankrupt
00:24:55.580
a regular high school teacher
00:24:56.960
and his family
00:24:57.500
for the sake of greed.
00:24:58.740
Now on the surface,
00:24:59.620
Gus is just a benevolent philanthropist.
00:25:01.440
He's a model citizen
00:25:02.380
providing jobs and security
00:25:03.720
for hundreds of people.
00:25:04.960
But the bottom line
00:25:05.680
is Gus is only doing this
00:25:06.940
because it's best for business.
00:25:08.400
Which is why the show
00:25:09.140
always highlights this divide
00:25:10.300
between his warm public persona
00:25:11.680
and his cold inner mind.
00:25:13.420
To convey this duality,
00:25:14.660
we see the fake smiles
00:25:15.680
that don't reach his eyes.
00:25:16.880
Basically,
00:25:18.680
Hillary Clinton.
00:25:20.700
Like,
00:25:21.280
Chilean,
00:25:21.980
black Hillary Clinton.
00:25:23.120
It accompanies
00:25:23.780
his consumer-friendly
00:25:24.560
speak and PR campaigns,
00:25:26.020
which is at odds
00:25:26.560
with the cold profit-ridden agenda.
00:25:28.200
It's the same
00:25:28.820
doggy-dog attitude
00:25:29.840
that has saturated
00:25:30.760
our economy,
00:25:31.380
manifesting the dot-com bubble,
00:25:33.320
the 2008 financial crash,
00:25:34.880
the opioid epidemic,
00:25:35.900
and now our current
00:25:36.560
economic stagnation
00:25:37.620
and massive levels of inflation.
00:25:39.560
Furthermore,
00:25:40.040
Pearson points out
00:25:40.720
that meth is just another drug
00:25:42.060
that fuels the neoliberal fetish
00:25:43.640
for productivity
00:25:44.340
because most performance enhancers
00:25:46.060
are legal.
00:25:46.860
Caffeine,
00:25:47.420
energy drinks,
00:25:48.080
steroids.
00:25:48.400
Yeah,
00:25:48.680
they make meth illegal,
00:25:50.640
but Chad,
00:25:51.580
you guys all telling me,
00:25:52.920
you know the ironic part
00:25:53.780
is that meth is illegal,
00:25:55.040
but every fucking person in here
00:25:56.540
every single day
00:25:57.680
who says,
00:25:58.460
take your meds,
00:25:59.020
take your meds,
00:26:00.160
that's meth.
00:26:02.100
Adderall's meth.
00:26:04.340
Amphetamines,
00:26:04.880
it's just meth in a pill.
00:26:06.200
It's called the same shit.
00:26:07.100
You look at the name of it,
00:26:07.720
Ritalin is called
00:26:08.260
Methylphenidate.
00:26:09.640
Adderall is an amphetamine,
00:26:11.460
methamphetamine.
00:26:12.060
It's the same shit,
00:26:12.920
just packaged in a nice little pill
00:26:14.540
and handed by a friendly doctor.
00:26:16.600
Ha ha,
00:26:17.240
take it little Timmy,
00:26:18.420
take meth in a pill
00:26:19.240
even though you're 12.
00:26:20.240
That was me.
00:26:21.020
So all of you
00:26:21.620
who are telling me
00:26:22.320
to take my pills
00:26:23.240
are telling me
00:26:24.120
to take legalized government meth.
00:26:28.220
Just if you didn't know that.
00:26:30.680
It's Viagra and prescribed Adderall,
00:26:32.020
which is pretty much meth in itself.
00:26:34.120
So in the end,
00:26:34.800
what is the moral difference
00:26:35.860
between Big Pharma
00:26:36.700
and Gus's empire?
00:26:37.900
There's hardly any difference
00:26:38.960
between the two
00:26:39.560
in terms of collateral damage
00:26:40.740
done to society.
00:26:42.040
Gus's first priority
00:26:43.040
is always profits.
00:26:44.240
Consumer and employee well-being
00:26:45.760
is always last.
00:26:47.000
Which is why the ruthlessness
00:26:48.020
and predatory actions
00:26:49.120
we associate with crime
00:26:50.240
isn't actually associated with drugs,
00:26:52.140
but more with the business behind it.
00:26:53.920
Gus represents the danger
00:26:55.040
of this neoliberal model of thinking.
00:26:58.780
When Walt sees Gus's new lab,
00:27:00.520
it seems like a success to Walt.
00:27:02.180
The lab's pharmaceutical
00:27:03.080
is industrial and secure.
00:27:04.820
Because Gus treats meth
00:27:05.900
like any other product or commodity,
00:27:07.860
meth is just another investment.
00:27:09.660
This corporate veneer
00:27:10.740
perfectly hides away
00:27:11.680
the destruction of the product
00:27:12.720
to its consumers.
00:27:13.420
It's almost as though
00:27:14.460
Walter's back to running
00:27:15.320
his all-grey matter business.
00:27:16.820
And over the series,
00:27:17.660
Gus continues to play
00:27:18.460
on Walter's deep-seated shadow side.
00:27:20.360
He understands the character of Walter
00:27:21.920
and his descent into the shadow.
00:27:23.520
Gus wants Walter
00:27:24.240
to continue his dissension
00:27:25.340
by luring him in
00:27:26.180
to becoming a full-time cook.
00:27:27.640
He plays on Walter's shadow
00:27:28.800
by using his psychology against him,
00:27:30.760
telling Walter
00:27:31.280
that a man provides for his family,
00:27:32.920
that a man does this
00:27:33.820
even when he's not respected or loved.
00:27:35.440
He simply bears up
00:27:37.440
or he does it.
00:27:39.480
Proving to Walter
00:27:40.160
that he is the great man
00:27:41.320
he was destined to be
00:27:42.340
and that Walter can be the man
00:27:43.940
to bring his family
00:27:44.640
to new heights of prosperity,
00:27:46.120
Gus strikes at Walter's shadow perfectly.
00:27:48.240
It seems as though
00:27:48.820
Walter is still motivated
00:27:49.820
by his family
00:27:50.480
and that his shadow side
00:27:51.460
is only used
00:27:52.020
as a survival mechanism.
00:27:53.600
But deep down,
00:27:54.340
Walter can't hide away
00:27:55.200
from the fact
00:27:55.800
that he's in too deep.
00:27:57.180
He knows he can't escape
00:27:58.240
his past actions.
00:27:59.220
He knows he's losing his family,
00:28:00.600
he's losing his moral grounding,
00:28:01.900
and now he's losing
00:28:02.620
his sense of self.
00:28:03.860
So in an effort
00:28:04.560
to end his pain,
00:28:05.680
Walter attempts to end his life
00:28:06.800
before things get out of hand.
00:28:08.460
As by this point,
00:28:09.320
Walt's life is spiralling
00:28:10.200
out of control.
00:28:11.160
Walter explains this perfectly
00:28:12.340
in the Fly episode,
00:28:13.560
where he tells Jesse
00:28:14.460
that he had the perfect time
00:28:15.620
to die
00:28:16.020
and become the hero
00:28:16.960
for his family,
00:28:17.800
and now he's just the villain
00:28:18.980
of his family story.
00:28:20.220
Just like the ordinary men
00:28:21.340
in Germany
00:28:21.700
who would drink themselves
00:28:22.540
to near death,
00:28:23.380
who would vomit
00:28:23.960
and commit suicide
00:28:24.900
after committing
00:28:25.680
so many atrocities.
00:28:27.160
Because like any human being,
00:28:28.560
the more extreme
00:28:29.100
your shadow self,
00:28:30.080
the more this internal pain
00:28:31.320
catches up with you.
00:28:32.340
And yet these men,
00:28:33.140
like Walter,
00:28:33.600
continued on with their actions anyway.
00:28:35.480
We continue to see
00:28:36.220
the shadow side
00:28:36.820
later on in the series.
00:28:38.140
For example,
00:28:38.680
we clearly see this
00:28:39.460
with Walt's indifferent attitude
00:28:40.620
when he murders
00:28:41.140
the killers of Tomas.
00:28:42.320
Whilst this killing
00:28:42.980
does seem justified,
00:28:44.240
considering these men
00:28:44.920
shot a child,
00:28:45.700
it's his brazen attitude
00:28:46.960
to murder
00:28:47.420
that cements his shadow self
00:28:48.680
as his primary persona.
00:28:50.000
This shows that
00:28:50.580
all the reservations
00:28:51.340
No more Walt,
00:28:52.300
just Heisenberg.
00:28:53.040
to murder
00:28:53.420
that he had
00:28:53.840
at the start of the show
00:28:54.680
is now fully dissolved.
00:28:56.100
It's the same reason
00:28:56.800
his murder of the innocent
00:28:57.700
cook, Gale,
00:28:58.460
is done so without
00:28:59.180
any hesitation.
00:29:00.360
However,
00:29:00.720
the real change begins
00:29:01.700
to happen around
00:29:02.320
season four,
00:29:02.920
episode nine.
00:29:03.840
After all the lies,
00:29:04.760
the fights,
00:29:05.460
the manipulation with Jesse
00:29:06.480
after all the deaths
00:29:07.520
and now with his life
00:29:08.440
threatened by Gus,
00:29:09.540
Walter can't help
00:29:10.280
but have another mental breakdown,
00:29:11.820
admitting his mistakes
00:29:12.700
are starting to catch up
00:29:13.700
with him.
00:29:14.140
Because his actions,
00:29:15.120
his shadow self,
00:29:15.800
his character
00:29:16.280
is bringing him
00:29:16.940
to a place far worse
00:29:18.120
than where he originally started.
00:29:20.400
Whilst at the same time,
00:29:21.600
Gus has repeated death threats
00:29:22.880
and use of brute force
00:29:23.840
to all those in his way
00:29:24.960
symbolizes the dissolving
00:29:30.320
of his fake friendly facade
00:29:31.800
where we see
00:29:32.500
the real Gus,
00:29:33.720
a man,
00:29:34.160
a corporation
00:29:34.720
who would remove anyone
00:29:35.780
in his way
00:29:36.300
as long as it ensures
00:29:37.340
his own success.
00:29:38.680
Gus's fake,
00:29:39.460
smiley public persona
00:29:40.500
is just a soft sell advert
00:29:41.840
like all these other
00:29:42.920
mega corporations
00:29:43.780
feeding their poisonous junk
00:29:45.060
into society.
00:29:46.240
Like Coca-Cola's
00:29:47.120
cringy fake happy songs
00:29:48.280
to sell their toxic syrup.
00:29:49.720
Or like Apple ads,
00:29:50.700
telling you to think differently
00:29:51.740
whilst also working
00:29:52.800
to stifle any free expression.
00:29:54.660
Because Coca-Cola
00:29:55.420
doesn't want happy,
00:29:56.280
healthy children,
00:29:57.180
just like Apple
00:29:57.860
doesn't want free-thinking
00:29:58.780
individuals
00:29:59.440
as none of this
00:30:00.360
is good for business.
00:30:01.660
And so when pressure
00:30:02.440
starts to damage
00:30:03.100
these profit margins,
00:30:04.260
the smiley happy faces
00:30:05.340
are quick to dissolve.
00:30:06.580
With the DEA on Gus's case,
00:30:08.120
a war between the cartel
00:30:09.180
and infighting
00:30:09.740
between Gus's workers,
00:30:10.960
the true face of Gus
00:30:11.900
starts to show.
00:30:12.840
And with Walter realizing
00:30:13.740
he's Gus's next target,
00:30:15.280
Walt's shadow self
00:30:15.960
grows exponentially
00:30:16.700
for him to survive.
00:30:17.620
Why is everybody
00:30:18.440
bald on this show?
00:30:19.240
The whole ordeal.
00:30:20.180
We see this through
00:30:20.820
Walt poisoning a child
00:30:21.740
to get Jesse back on the side,
00:30:23.280
where Walt puts his
00:30:24.000
innocent neighbor's
00:30:24.680
life in jeopardy,
00:30:25.640
and then of course
00:30:26.340
Walt eventually
00:30:26.960
blowing up a nursing home
00:30:27.980
to destroy Gus.
00:30:29.220
Walter has gone so far
00:30:30.580
into his descent
00:30:31.380
that he's at a point
00:30:32.240
where he would willfully
00:30:33.000
destroy the lives
00:30:33.700
of untold people
00:30:34.740
in a nursing home
00:30:35.580
to ensure his own survival.
00:30:37.300
By this point,
00:30:38.020
Walt was now the man
00:30:38.760
he feared,
00:30:39.400
giving us a good insight
00:30:40.440
to what's been forming
00:30:41.140
inside of Walter,
00:30:42.160
a pure monster,
00:30:43.380
while at the same time
00:30:44.200
Gus's final moments
00:30:45.180
are marked by his two faces.
00:30:46.200
I love that CEO.
00:30:47.460
Even though the CGI
00:30:48.180
is mad weird,
00:30:49.000
it's a fucking...
00:30:50.140
legendary.
00:30:52.140
...basis,
00:30:52.820
his corporate
00:30:53.400
tie-adjusting orderly side,
00:30:54.940
and his empty hollow
00:30:55.900
and monstrous side.
00:30:57.060
These details perfectly capture
00:30:58.500
who these characters are
00:30:59.460
beneath the surface,
00:31:00.580
and even more importantly,
00:31:01.740
how destructive
00:31:02.340
their archetypes are
00:31:03.300
in the real world.
00:31:04.300
Now, all of this brings us
00:31:05.340
on to the final part
00:31:06.100
of the show.
00:31:06.820
Following the death of Gus,
00:31:08.020
Walter has undoubtedly
00:31:08.940
broken bad.
00:31:09.860
He's no longer recognizable
00:31:11.080
as the mild-mannered mule
00:31:12.200
of the first season.
00:31:13.220
Walter is now absorbing
00:31:14.300
Gus's persona
00:31:15.180
to further cement
00:31:16.100
his own power,
00:31:17.180
as Walter is now
00:31:17.800
the kingpin of the business,
00:31:19.300
which is conveyed
00:31:19.860
through his body language
00:31:20.740
and attitude,
00:31:21.520
all while his family
00:31:22.260
is tearing up
00:31:22.880
in the background.
00:31:23.840
But this doesn't matter anymore.
00:31:25.160
The initial point
00:31:25.860
of this mission
00:31:26.320
is now just a distant memory.
00:31:27.900
Because Walt's
00:31:28.560
repressed desires,
00:31:29.520
his repressed beliefs
00:31:30.400
and wants
00:31:30.860
are now finally fulfilled,
00:31:32.500
Walter is finally in control.
00:31:34.320
He's made the millions,
00:31:35.220
he's earned the respect
00:31:36.000
and recognition
00:31:36.540
for his genius,
00:31:37.760
and most importantly,
00:31:38.940
he's now feared.
00:31:39.980
The man who sold his shares
00:31:40.980
in Grey Matter
00:31:41.560
is not the same world
00:31:42.440
we see now.
00:31:43.100
He even has the opportunity
00:31:46.800
to sell his empire
00:31:47.620
for five million dollars,
00:31:48.960
but this doesn't even faze him.
00:31:50.260
As Walt tells Jesse,
00:31:51.160
he's no longer
00:31:51.660
in the meth business.
00:31:52.720
I'm in the empire business.
00:31:54.520
He's in the empire business.
00:31:56.100
Because his work,
00:31:56.920
his business,
00:31:57.460
now puts him
00:31:57.940
on the same level
00:31:58.580
as those he's so despised.
00:32:00.140
And besides,
00:32:00.780
he no longer has anything
00:32:01.580
to go back to.
00:32:02.500
His family and friends
00:32:03.320
are absent
00:32:03.780
and his old identity
00:32:04.740
no longer exists.
00:32:05.800
This show,
00:32:06.320
if you think about it,
00:32:07.040
is just a red pill.
00:32:09.400
Walter White is no longer
00:32:10.560
living a repressed
00:32:11.380
shadow fantasy.
00:32:12.120
Walter White's identity
00:32:13.380
is the shadow.
00:32:14.460
That's why he can now
00:32:15.240
ignore things
00:32:15.800
that would have
00:32:16.120
tainted his soul before.
00:32:17.340
Like for example,
00:32:18.060
the murder of the boy
00:32:18.680
who witnessed the train heist.
00:32:19.960
Because like Gus,
00:32:21.160
Walter only cares about
00:32:22.020
what's best for business
00:32:22.940
no matter the consequences.
00:32:24.640
Like Gus,
00:32:25.300
Walt removes his employees
00:32:26.340
without a second thought.
00:32:28.680
Walt's ensuing murder
00:32:29.740
of Mike's men
00:32:30.440
bears a stark contrast
00:32:31.720
to the Stanley Milgram experiments
00:32:33.220
I mentioned before.
00:32:34.380
Where over 80%
00:32:35.540
of participants
00:32:36.300
would inflict
00:32:36.960
near-death levels of pain
00:32:38.520
if they thought it would be best
00:32:39.660
for their own sake.
00:32:40.760
Find God.
00:32:41.640
I'm not like God!
00:32:42.820
We need to tap it
00:32:43.460
to our spiritual selves
00:32:44.400
so you don't have no empathy
00:32:45.540
like these people.
00:32:46.320
80% of people today...
00:32:47.420
These people would even
00:32:48.100
hear the screams.
00:32:48.860
They'd hear people
00:32:49.300
having heart attacks
00:32:50.160
and still continue
00:32:50.960
to inflict pain
00:32:51.820
without any emotion.
00:32:53.380
With their only reasoning
00:32:54.300
being they'd be better off
00:32:55.400
if they did it.
00:32:56.460
So as Walter looks
00:32:57.320
outside of his window,
00:32:58.500
he's able to remove
00:32:59.360
any sense of remorse
00:33:00.600
as his actions
00:33:01.340
are simply what's best
00:33:02.280
for his own sake.
00:33:03.220
But with his cancer diagnosis
00:33:04.460
coming back
00:33:05.160
and being reminded
00:33:05.860
of his ending life,
00:33:07.080
Walter starts to realise
00:33:07.920
that his shadow self
00:33:08.860
is only making his life worse.
00:33:10.640
His loved ones hate him,
00:33:11.880
Jesse fears him
00:33:12.620
and he has no one
00:33:13.380
but himself
00:33:13.840
to show his ego to.
00:33:15.100
So Walter chooses
00:33:15.940
to finally leave
00:33:16.680
his empire behind
00:33:17.620
as he realises
00:33:18.400
the true value
00:33:19.300
of the connections
00:33:19.880
he's abandoned
00:33:20.560
in the process.
00:33:21.660
After coming back
00:33:22.260
to some sort of normality
00:33:23.340
and trying to rekindle
00:33:24.280
his abandoned social connections,
00:33:26.000
Walt's actions
00:33:26.500
now finally catch up
00:33:27.740
with him.
00:33:28.280
Jesse realises
00:33:28.960
that Walter was the one
00:33:29.840
who poisoned the child
00:33:30.740
and Hank realises
00:33:31.700
Heisenberg was Walt's
00:33:32.880
all along.
00:33:33.700
Walter White is
00:33:34.280
And those people woke up.
00:33:35.860
Walt poisoned the child
00:33:38.720
He's finally met
00:33:39.400
with justice.
00:33:40.480
Everything sounds
00:33:41.380
like a metaphor
00:33:41.980
like the way
00:33:42.660
this guy analyses it
00:33:43.560
He starts to lose
00:33:44.180
everything.
00:33:45.100
He becomes responsible
00:33:45.960
for the death
00:33:46.520
of his brother-in-law
00:33:47.180
Hank.
00:33:47.780
He completely loses
00:33:48.720
all ties to his family
00:33:49.860
and any relationship
00:33:50.700
he might have had
00:33:51.280
with Jesse.
00:33:51.940
He loses most
00:33:52.760
of his money.
00:33:53.500
He's a dying fugitive
00:33:54.580
on the run
00:33:55.040
from the law.
00:33:55.940
Everyone he once knew
00:33:56.940
now despises him.
00:33:58.080
He's hidden away
00:33:58.760
on the lonely brinks
00:33:59.640
of society
00:34:00.280
in a cold,
00:34:01.060
depressing cabin.
00:34:02.340
Walter's final act
00:34:03.240
is his only redemption
00:34:04.120
as he wipes out
00:34:05.000
all the men
00:34:05.500
who enslaved Jesse
00:34:06.360
and stole his money
00:34:07.220
and the life of Hank.
00:34:08.360
The show concludes
00:34:09.240
with Walt dying
00:34:10.000
back in the lab
00:34:10.760
where it all began
00:34:11.560
with Walter's shadow
00:34:12.420
being the very thing
00:34:13.440
that brought him
00:34:13.980
to his knees.
00:34:14.620
It's all these
00:34:19.520
accumulating events
00:34:20.520
under his
00:34:20.880
Elias Heisenberg
00:34:21.800
that seems to represent
00:34:22.740
this catharsis
00:34:23.600
from the soul-crushing,
00:34:24.660
bland and mundane
00:34:25.500
life of before.
00:34:26.740
It's a reaction,
00:34:27.580
an explosion of repression
00:34:28.720
from his underwhelming
00:34:29.580
and unfelt existence.
00:34:31.180
Even before his diagnosis,
00:34:32.540
Walter was always sick.
00:34:34.020
Sick by following
00:34:34.740
a path of untrammeled
00:34:35.860
rationalism,
00:34:36.640
pettiness,
00:34:37.140
vindictiveness
00:34:37.720
and bottom-linism.
00:34:38.740
It was only after
00:34:39.740
his diagnosis
00:34:40.360
that Walter realised
00:34:41.260
how long he'd been sick.
00:34:42.340
So his whole psyche
00:34:43.500
began to produce antibodies
00:34:44.820
in response
00:34:45.360
to his underwhelming character.
00:34:47.160
Heisenberg
00:34:47.560
was just this enormous
00:34:48.520
effort at self-healing.
00:34:49.960
All the violence,
00:34:50.680
power or money,
00:34:51.340
what does this all
00:34:51.920
have in common?
00:34:52.700
It was a rejection
00:34:53.440
of his weak,
00:34:54.220
timid and cowardly character
00:34:55.500
through a reverse
00:34:56.100
version to his shadow side.
00:34:59.440
He had to run away
00:35:00.280
from his sterile existence
00:35:01.440
and the only way
00:35:02.480
he could get away from it
00:35:03.600
was a return
00:35:04.420
to what was untapped,
00:35:05.480
becoming the infamous Heisenberg,
00:35:07.560
a ruthless,
00:35:08.400
powerful and merciless man.
00:35:10.160
Ordinary men
00:35:10.800
parallels this exact
00:35:11.900
narrative
00:35:12.420
where free-thinking
00:35:13.520
ordinary people
00:35:14.320
and society
00:35:14.920
would willfully
00:35:15.520
turn into the monsters
00:35:16.400
they feared,
00:35:17.440
all one step at a time.
00:35:20.020
Because power corroses.
00:35:22.960
But if you wake up
00:35:24.300
early enough
00:35:24.920
then you won't
00:35:25.440
become insane like this.
00:35:26.700
You could still be
00:35:27.440
a good person
00:35:28.180
and get the money power respect.
00:35:29.540
We should never forget
00:35:30.600
the atrocities
00:35:31.340
of the 20th century
00:35:32.340
because these atrocities
00:35:33.560
were a warning.
00:35:34.500
We can't simply stop
00:35:35.420
of remembering these actions
00:35:36.420
as historical facts.
00:35:37.740
We have to understand
00:35:38.660
the pathways
00:35:39.340
that led to these atrocities
00:35:40.560
in the first place.
00:35:41.460
And so it all starts
00:35:42.620
with understanding
00:35:43.200
the perpetrators
00:35:44.000
of these evil acts.
00:35:45.380
To understand
00:35:45.780
how societies
00:35:46.580
would suddenly transform
00:35:47.480
into being
00:35:47.880
these nightmarish dystopias
00:35:49.240
we have to understand
00:35:50.200
the transformation
00:35:50.820
of these ordinary men
00:35:52.080
who become evil monsters.
00:35:53.820
The message of ordinary men
00:35:55.160
and Breaking Bad
00:35:55.940
is to show that
00:35:56.780
this is what
00:35:57.240
human beings are like.
00:35:58.540
You can think to yourself
00:35:59.380
right now
00:35:59.780
that you could never
00:36:00.360
be a Walter White.
00:36:01.260
You could never be
00:36:01.860
a ruthless monster
00:36:02.640
who sacrifices human life
00:36:05.000
for profit.
00:36:05.780
You can think
00:36:06.300
that you'd never be
00:36:07.000
the one inflicting
00:36:07.680
untold pain
00:36:08.420
onto another human being
00:36:09.440
because you were told to.
00:36:10.800
You could think
00:36:11.320
that you'd never be
00:36:12.080
the German
00:36:12.480
I'm a good person
00:36:13.660
guard committing
00:36:14.320
these vile atrocities.
00:36:15.680
But we're all
00:36:16.200
just products
00:36:16.700
of our environment.
00:36:17.540
But the statistics
00:36:18.420
say otherwise.
00:36:19.340
You probably would
00:36:19.960
do the same
00:36:20.520
and I'm no exception either.
00:36:21.720
I mean statistically
00:36:22.360
almost all of us would.
00:36:23.820
Which is why
00:36:24.240
we need to understand
00:36:25.120
the shadow within us.
00:36:26.360
We need to understand
00:36:27.080
what's repressed
00:36:27.780
inside of us.
00:36:28.620
The monster that's
00:36:29.220
bubbling under the surface.
00:36:30.480
Because only when
00:36:31.180
you integrate your shadow
00:36:32.160
can you be sure
00:36:32.940
of your character.
00:36:33.940
Only then can you
00:36:34.720
build a strong
00:36:35.280
moral foundation
00:36:36.000
that will guide you
00:36:36.720
through a virtuous life.
00:36:38.360
And elevate.
00:36:41.460
Hello, Iqbal!
00:36:42.360
The character of Walter White
00:36:43.460
is probably the best
00:36:44.360
portrayal of a man
00:36:45.160
who never remains
00:36:45.860
his dark side.
00:36:47.000
Whose shadow side
00:36:47.620
causes him to spiral
00:36:48.640
out of control.
00:36:49.740
Cole Young,
00:36:50.280
the man who coined
00:36:50.880
the idea of the shadow self
00:36:51.800
in the first place,
00:36:52.660
used to treat his patients
00:36:53.580
by paying more attention
00:36:54.600
to their future development
00:36:55.620
than their past actions.
00:36:57.100
To do this,
00:36:57.740
he tried to figure out
00:36:58.520
what his patient's
00:36:59.220
mental symptoms symbolized.
00:37:01.040
And that's something
00:37:01.740
which has been all too lost
00:37:03.100
in modern political discourse.
00:37:04.700
Where we blame
00:37:05.340
the symptoms that lead
00:37:06.240
to destructive action
00:37:07.120
rather than blaming
00:37:08.120
the roots of these symptoms.
00:37:09.680
We prescribe drugs
00:37:10.460
to treat symptoms
00:37:11.180
rather than integrating
00:37:15.040
and understanding
00:37:15.580
what's behind these symptoms
00:37:16.560
in the first place.
00:37:17.600
We study historical facts
00:37:19.180
rather than trying to understand
00:37:20.240
the casual pathways
00:37:21.160
behind them.
00:37:22.180
Cole Young explained
00:37:22.940
that no one is inherently
00:37:24.000
good or evil.
00:37:24.960
We all have a shadow
00:37:25.840
we keep locked within.
00:37:27.000
Under the right circumstances,
00:37:28.560
the shadow may manifest itself
00:37:29.900
clouding our judgment
00:37:30.680
or perhaps guiding us
00:37:31.560
down that behavioral path.
00:37:32.860
Walter White's shadow
00:37:33.540
was a prideful,
00:37:34.360
greedy,
00:37:34.600
and angry one
00:37:35.300
from the beginning.
00:37:36.080
He had put a heavy lid
00:37:37.200
on his shadow.
00:37:37.960
Or at least,
00:37:38.460
that's what he thought.
00:37:39.420
It just took the right
00:37:40.620
amount of pressure
00:37:41.280
for him to discover,
00:37:42.420
integrate,
00:37:43.000
and fully embrace
00:37:43.920
his shadow self.
00:37:44.960
So perhaps we should
00:37:45.700
start looking at our own selves
00:37:46.940
and what guides our actions.
00:37:48.200
And maybe we should start
00:37:49.240
to attack the roots
00:37:50.040
of our social problems
00:37:51.000
rather than always taking
00:37:52.100
temporary mitigated action.
00:37:55.660
Shout out to Moon.
00:37:57.060
Great YouTube channel.
00:38:00.280
You can steal this whole stream,
00:38:01.580
you can clip it all up,
00:38:02.300
it's all gonna go viral.
00:38:03.060
Some people are getting muted
00:38:03.880
for already from the E-Date.
00:38:05.940
I just saw people in the chat
00:38:06.820
saying that their shit
00:38:07.580
already got muted.
00:38:09.180
But,
00:38:09.920
Discord and description,
00:38:12.280
I want people to work together.
00:38:13.420
I want to keep spreading truth.
00:38:14.540
If you fuck with me,
00:38:15.480
if you want to keep spreading truth,
00:38:16.600
then we need to work together
00:38:17.420
because they censor this shit
00:38:18.160
on a regular basis.
00:38:19.320
Thank you to Aiden
00:38:19.740
for having me on the E-Date.
00:38:21.280
That shit was mad fun.
00:38:22.820
But also at the same time,
00:38:24.620
you can kind of take the red pill
00:38:25.840
from that E-Date.
00:38:26.740
Why the fuck did the large guy
00:38:29.060
who bought the bath water win?
00:38:31.460
Because the thought
00:38:32.760
wants to capitalize more
00:38:34.720
off of limps.
00:38:37.240
And the same thing.
00:38:38.300
She tried to say like,
00:38:39.080
yeah, you can't provide it for me,
00:38:40.420
bitch.
00:38:40.740
That's a shit test.
