00:00:00.000 All right.
00:00:29.980 We're back.
00:00:31.180 The greatest podcast of all time.
00:00:33.740 Now, you might actually listen to this on YouTube or elsewhere.
00:00:38.020 I thought it would be an ever so humble Christmas gift, a Yule gift from me to have this public
00:00:43.760 instead of only having it on Subscribestar and Gumroad as I usually have.
00:00:49.900 Of course, big shout out to my OG supporters on Gumroad and Subscribestar.
00:00:56.440 Now, anyway, as you see in the title of this video, on this podcast episode, we're going
00:01:01.460 to talk about the cultured thug.
00:01:04.140 So we'll get into it in a little bit.
00:01:06.940 But first, a few updates.
00:01:08.400 A lot is going on in the world as we speak.
00:01:11.520 Now, if you haven't listened to any of my podcast episodes before, usually I give a few updates
00:01:17.360 on different things.
00:01:18.760 So it can be political happenings.
00:01:20.420 It can be a training update, a health update, a fatherhood update, a book update, whatever
00:01:25.520 it might be.
00:01:26.480 So I usually get into the main topic or topics at hand after I have come with my updates.
00:01:33.740 But now we're going to start off straight into it.
00:01:36.920 We're going to talk about the cultured thug.
00:01:39.880 Then we're going to talk about a few different updates.
00:01:42.680 And then we're going to get into a book with a similar name, the cultured thug handbook,
00:01:48.380 because I've read it and I can definitely recommend it.
00:01:51.540 So we're going to talk a bit about it and some of the insights presented therein.
00:01:55.400 It's a very good book to begin with if you're new to right-wing thought or illiberal thought
00:02:01.200 or reactionary thought, if you prefer that term, no matter what you want to call yourself.
00:02:06.980 If you believe, if you have a sense that something is off with the current political zeitgeist,
00:02:13.220 so default liberalism, as you can call it, then you can definitely read this book.
00:02:17.520 So you understand what is going on.
00:02:21.060 So that can be a suitable Christmas gift, a Yule gift to someone you know, the cultured
00:02:25.820 thug handbook.
00:02:26.860 Speaking of which, of course, I would highly encourage you if you want to support my holy
00:02:31.800 work and if you want to spread the good message of hope, positivity and high thumos, you can
00:02:37.800 give a copy of Dauntless, a copy of Demigod Mentality and a copy of Old World Feast to
00:02:44.320 someone dear to you.
00:02:45.540 So if you are an enjoyer of my work and you would like to see more people engage with my
00:02:51.200 teachings, then place an order of a few books and then you can give it out during this Yule
00:02:56.460 to various individuals you would like to partake my teachings.
00:03:01.480 Now, anyway, on to the cultured thug.
00:03:03.780 This is a quite easy concept to understand if you have been with me for a few years.
00:03:08.220 It's explained in the most simple way possible.
00:03:12.020 It's a combination of brains and brawn so that you have a physical capacity and you also
00:03:17.500 have an intellectual capacity, a mental capacity.
00:03:21.220 So the term, it comes from a quote by the late and great Jonathan Bowden.
00:03:28.040 And he said in a speech of his, he was a phenomenal speaker by the way.
00:03:33.360 So you can look at some speeches of him on YouTube if you aren't familiar with Jonathan
00:03:38.600 Bowden.
00:03:39.600 Anyway, here is the quote.
00:03:41.260 End quote.
00:03:58.260 So he's referring to a sensitive young man, none other than Lord Byron.
00:04:03.640 So he was born in 1788 and died at a young age, at 1824.
00:04:10.060 So he was a poet and an adventurer and overall a cultured man.
00:04:16.400 So anyway, he wrote in some of his poems, he had an ideal, which then Jonathan Bowden labeled
00:04:22.580 as the cultured thug.
00:04:24.200 So to give a few examples, a few literary examples, you can think of a pirate captain who is a fan
00:04:30.500 of the opera or something like that.
00:04:32.320 So it's a thug, obviously, if he's a pirate captain, so he has an affinity for physical
00:04:38.440 action, violence, everything like that.
00:04:41.200 But he also has a cultured side, so he appreciates fine art and literature and the good stuff.
00:04:48.260 So that is something you can perhaps stumble upon if you read poems every once in a while.
00:04:54.120 And this, by the way, this has been the ideal in Europe since forever, basically.
00:04:58.740 So you have this man of action who's physically capable, but who can also use his mind to
00:05:05.740 accomplish things.
00:05:07.380 And what Jonathan Bowden warns against then is the thug, someone who's only, you know,
00:05:14.680 only has physical courage, but no intellect.
00:05:17.620 So you can think of a stereotypical football hooligan or something like that.
00:05:21.800 It's someone who only has the thug within him.
00:05:25.400 And then you have the bookish dork, someone who's only concerned with the intellectual,
00:05:30.320 and he doesn't have any physical capacity at all.
00:05:33.020 And as I mentioned in a recent video of mine, when we're talking about politics and biology,
00:05:38.660 we know that your physiology, it impacts your political views.
00:05:43.700 So a healthy mind in a healthy body.
00:05:46.340 And many of these dorks, they are, you know, they have a strange worldview simply because
00:05:51.660 they aren't well in their bodies.
00:05:53.940 So anyway, the cultured thug is someone who embodies both an action-oriented aspect and
00:05:59.800 a contemplation-oriented aspect.
00:06:02.880 And he can combine the two into a successful whole.
00:06:06.300 Now then, how to become a cultured thug, you might ask?
00:06:09.600 Yes, it is simply a matter of reading books and training MMA.
00:06:13.580 So, reading books, can it be any type of book, you ask?
00:06:16.500 Well, it should optimally be something that expands your knowledge about things.
00:06:21.040 But even just reading for the sake of it is good for you to train language.
00:06:25.540 And this can be any language.
00:06:27.140 Now, a note on this, a note on language and the use of words being as effective as possible
00:06:34.280 at communicating.
00:06:35.300 This is of utmost importance when it comes to winning the metapolitical battle.
00:06:41.380 So I might have said this a few times before, but I'll say it again because it's so important.
00:06:45.740 You should train some sort of martial art to be able to punch as hard as possible.
00:06:50.620 Now, what is even more important is for you to be as effective with your tongue and pen as
00:06:56.660 possible.
00:06:57.300 And with tongue and pen, I of course mean your ability to communicate as effectively as possible.
00:07:03.500 So keep that phrase in mind.
00:07:05.940 This is of utmost importance when it comes to winning.
00:07:09.040 Now, it's not the only thing.
00:07:10.420 But if we're talking about fighting and taking battles and everything, back in the day, you
00:07:15.760 put on your armor and you grabbed your sword and you went out to fight.
00:07:19.180 But now the fight looks a bit different, to be sure.
00:07:23.080 So, yes, not as heroic to post on X, to compose an argument on Twitter as it is to put on your
00:07:32.680 armor to go out and fight invading Mongols or whatever it might be.
00:07:36.780 But this is how reality looks.
00:07:38.520 And I'm not out for any heroics.
00:07:40.600 I'm out for winning so we can restore order for the sake of our children's future.
00:07:45.860 So that is what's at stake.
00:07:47.140 And then we need to look at what is going on.
00:07:49.820 And yes, it's super important to be able to communicate our ideas as effectively as possible.
00:07:54.940 Speaking of which, we can go to a metapolitical update.
00:07:57.460 Now we have gotten the term re-migration into the debate.
00:08:02.000 So good work.
00:08:03.080 Good work, everyone.
00:08:04.540 Now, anyway, the cultured thug.
00:08:06.640 So we have the cultured aspect.
00:08:08.800 And that's in this case primarily to do with being able to argue for your political views
00:08:16.020 and your worldview.
00:08:17.940 So, of course, you can also, you know, gain an appreciation for high culture, which I
00:08:22.780 suggest you do anyway for your own enjoyment.
00:08:25.560 But the cultured thug in this particular context means someone who can argue for his worldview.
00:08:32.800 And, of course, the more knowledgeable you are, the more well-read you are, the heavier
00:08:37.260 your argument will hit.
00:08:40.200 So it's the same thing as if we're talking about boxing, striking.
00:08:44.100 So if you have a lot of mass to put behind your punch, then it's better.
00:08:48.680 So you can view it in that sense that, you know, your knowledge is your mass, your muscle
00:08:53.620 mass, and then how effectively you can communicate that knowledge.
00:08:58.840 That is your technique.
00:08:59.820 So if you want to be able to punch as hard as possible, then train technique, and then
00:09:04.600 also put some mass behind it, then you will have some true knockout power.
00:09:09.660 And, again, same thing goes when it comes to presenting a worldview that can be attractive
00:09:14.900 to as many people as possible.
00:09:18.260 So, anyway, the cultured thug, someone who has both, someone who is both action-oriented
00:09:23.680 and someone who has some good thoughts to share with the world.
00:09:27.900 So this is the ideal you should strive for.
00:09:30.840 So, be as well-read as possible.
00:09:33.240 I've read mostly historical books because that, in my humble opinion, that gives you
00:09:37.960 a very good understanding of the world.
00:09:40.160 And you can predict the future in a better way when you see these cycles coming and going.
00:09:45.520 And I've talked about Oswald Spengler before.
00:09:48.100 I said in an interview with our esteemed friend Ãœberbojo that I tortured myself by reading
00:09:53.900 both volumes of The Client of the West.
00:09:56.600 Now, and of course, I made a podcast episode about The Client of the West and the cycles
00:10:02.740 of history.
00:10:03.380 So you can check that out at Gumroad or Subscribestar if you want.
00:10:06.940 But what I can say now is that even though I'm not a big fan of Oswald Spengler, I, at least,
00:10:13.160 I have to, you know, admit, I have to give him his due that his theory of cycles of civilization,
00:10:19.940 it's very useful indeed.
00:10:21.400 So if you look at the cycles, you sort of know what is about to come and where we are
00:10:27.220 in the cycle.
00:10:27.920 So right now we are, one could argue, at the end of a cycle, of a civilizational cycle.
00:10:34.920 And then we can decide, okay, what do we let die this particular civilizational winter?
00:10:40.160 And yeah, it's quite clear we let many ills of modernity, such as liberalism, and if we're
00:10:45.660 talking about, you know, promiscuity and sexual morals, loose sexual morals, that is, that we
00:10:51.180 can let die off.
00:10:52.840 And then we can recreate something.
00:10:54.340 We can be reborn into something new come spring.
00:10:56.840 So come the civilizational spring.
00:11:00.080 So that's also what we're working towards here, the great metapolitical struggle that
00:11:04.720 will present a beautiful vision to work towards.
00:11:07.880 So Western civilization is not bound to death, but it's bound to be reborn into something
00:11:14.060 completely else because the current paradigm is, yeah, it's going under, simply put.
00:11:19.680 Now then you might ask how to become a thug.
00:11:22.160 So I've said how to become more cultured.
00:11:24.600 And that is simply, the absolutely simplest way to explain it is to become as knowledgeable
00:11:29.620 as possible.
00:11:30.760 How to become a thug.
00:11:32.040 And this is something I've talked about so many times before, so I'll keep it short.
00:11:35.520 But simply put, go and train some martial arts.
00:11:38.940 If you can't train any martial arts because you don't have any club nearby, then at least
00:11:43.280 train with the weights, put on some size and mass.
00:11:46.160 But I would definitely encourage everyone to at least try to train some martial arts at
00:11:52.420 some stage.
00:11:53.460 Do try some sparring.
00:11:54.920 Optimally speaking, you should go some sort of fight as well.
00:11:58.160 That is a true test of character because, you know, if you are fighting against another
00:12:02.720 man, there are few things that are as, you know, primarily dangerous as going into such
00:12:09.700 a fight because you can get subjugated by another man physically.
00:12:13.540 So it has nothing to do with pain because your adrenaline will negate all pain.
00:12:18.080 So it doesn't have anything to do with that.
00:12:19.620 But it has to do with the fact that the very essence of your being is rightly afraid of
00:12:26.260 being, of losing physically to another man in the realist way possible.
00:12:30.320 You know, you can lose a game, you can lose a match, you can lose something.
00:12:33.740 But if you lose in an actual fight against another man, yeah, it will be a hard pill to
00:12:40.320 swallow.
00:12:40.780 So that's something you can keep in mind if you want training motivation, that training
00:12:44.680 is hard, but losing is a lot harder.
00:12:47.720 So do keep that in mind.
00:12:49.380 And if you do step up, if you do manage to overcome your fears, you have my respect,
00:12:54.100 no matter if you win or lose.
00:12:56.380 Of course, you should always try to win, do everything you can to win, which means to train
00:13:01.520 as hard as possible, prepare as well as possible.
00:13:03.980 But anyway, however it goes, you at least you have my respect because you defeated your inner
00:13:09.920 demon that says to you to not engage, to not embrace life.
00:13:14.500 So this is perhaps the hardest fight you can take.
00:13:17.460 And this is then the cultured thug winning over the bookish nerd.
00:13:22.260 Because the bookish nerd, he says to you, you know what, you shouldn't fight because you
00:13:26.200 could lose or you shouldn't take risks because this and that.
00:13:29.420 But sometimes you have to put yourself out.
00:13:32.420 You have to take these risks.
00:13:33.840 And this is also the hallmark of a cultured thug that he is willing to take a risk.
00:13:39.120 But before taking said risks, he is also calculating and optimizing everything so that the chances
00:13:47.380 of success are as high as possible.
00:13:49.980 Now, even if you don't sign up for any type of fight, you should still try to train as much
00:13:55.260 as possible.
00:13:56.080 And this is not only to be safe on the mean streets of Gotham City.
00:14:00.600 By the way, this is of course something you should train so you can protect yourself and
00:14:05.140 your loved ones so every man should be able to have the basics in order at least.
00:14:09.880 So be able to throw a combination, a jab cross hook or something like that.
00:14:14.600 And some grappling is always good.
00:14:17.180 So the very practical aspect of it, very important indeed.
00:14:21.080 But we'll also come to the psychological aspect of training martial arts in particular.
00:14:26.840 And that is that you will be able to stand up for yourself in a more effortless fashion.
00:14:32.980 So if you don't train anything at all, if you don't have any contact with those primordial
00:14:38.040 energies, then you will be easier to push around, basically.
00:14:41.920 And this is something you can see if you look at the archetypal bug man, so a default liberal.
00:14:46.880 He has those views because he's unhealthy and he's been bullied into believing that.
00:14:50.820 So he's bullied into believing that mass immigration from the third world is good because
00:14:55.500 the food is good.
00:14:56.780 Everyone understands this is a cope because he's ultimately a coward.
00:15:00.480 So the cure, the very physiological cure for cowardice is simply to train in such a way that
00:15:07.380 your hormones will make you braver.
00:15:09.420 So if you train Thai boxing on a regular basis, you will be more inclined to stand up for yourself
00:15:15.420 in any given situation, including something like political arguments.
00:15:19.920 Now, of course, don't get me wrong here.
00:15:21.200 There are plenty of guys who are very good at fighting, physical fighting.
00:15:25.200 But they are still complete cowards.
00:15:27.500 Same thing when it comes to powerlifting.
00:15:29.600 There are many big, strong guys who are absolute pussies when push comes to shove.
00:15:33.960 But in general, generally speaking, the more in tune you are with primordial energies,
00:15:40.500 the more likely you are to be able to stand up to pressure.
00:15:44.140 So you will be pressured.
00:15:45.660 The pressure can come from whatever it might be.
00:15:48.620 It can be an argument you have with your professor at university.
00:15:51.940 So definitely not a violent situation or anything like that, but the willingness to confront injustice.
00:15:59.820 So if you have a professor who says that, you know, white men are evil or, you know, how it goes,
00:16:05.140 then if you have trained a lot, then you are more likely to be able to stand up and say,
00:16:10.000 you know what, you are wrong because white men are great or something like that.
00:16:14.280 Now, of course, there are plenty of guys.
00:16:16.020 They haven't trained a day in their lives and they still are very good at taking confrontations.
00:16:22.780 So I'm painting with a very broad brush there.
00:16:25.060 And this is very general recommendations, very general advice here I'm giving.
00:16:30.160 But long story short, the more you train, the more help from your physiology,
00:16:35.960 the more help you will have from your hormones to battle insecurities.
00:16:41.880 Similarly, if you have any type of issue that gnaws at you, that makes you uneasy,
00:16:46.860 then if you go and train heavy, the endorphins, they will take care of it.
00:16:50.220 And then your problems, they will not seem so big anymore.
00:16:54.160 Now then, on to one of the most commonly asked questions I get,
00:16:58.480 and that is what martial art should I start training?
00:17:02.440 And I always give the same answer, and that is whichever is easiest for you to incorporate into your everyday life.
00:17:09.160 So if you live 10 minutes from a boxing club, then do train boxing, no question about it at all.
00:17:16.020 If you have 5 minutes to a Brazilian jiu-jitsu club, do train there, no question at all either.
00:17:21.740 So it's about what is easiest for you to incorporate in your everyday life.
00:17:26.860 Now, if that is not an issue, if you have, you know, different clubs within an equal distance,
00:17:33.200 then I would go with MMA, so you get everything.
00:17:35.480 But keep in mind that, just as in the gym, you want to focus on the basic compound movements.
00:17:41.540 Same thing when it comes to martial arts.
00:17:43.300 You want to focus on the basics.
00:17:45.160 So learn how to throw a cross, a hook, learn some basic head movement, foot movement,
00:17:51.720 and that you will probably get no matter if you train, you know, boxing or MMA or Thai boxing.
00:17:57.060 Of course, the footwork will look a bit different in Thai boxing versus boxing,
00:18:00.560 because your stance is completely different.
00:18:02.820 But you know what I mean, the important thing is to get some sort of basics in place first and foremost,
00:18:09.780 and then you can look at different gyms later on.
00:18:12.820 So, long story short, train whichever is easiest for you to train on a regular basis.
00:18:19.220 Now, speaking of which, I haven't actually trained grappling in quite a while now,
00:18:24.020 and the reason for that is quite simple.
00:18:26.640 Well, the training sessions, they were too late in the evening, so they would interfere with my fatherhood routine,
00:18:33.600 which consists of playing with Legos and reading stories for my elder daughter.
00:18:38.980 And of course, if I come home too late, it will be hard for me to find the calm I need before going to sleep as well.
00:18:45.700 So, that is at least why I don't train at that particular club anymore.
00:18:50.300 Otherwise, it's a super nice club.
00:18:52.740 But, yeah, it's how it goes.
00:18:54.540 So, I train in the gym instead, and I train the occasional Thai boxing and boxing whenever it fits into my everyday life.
00:19:02.620 Now, on to an ever so brief training update.
00:19:11.540 I am continuing with the Russian squat routine, which you have perhaps seen,
00:19:16.020 since I have posted Physique from the Temple of Iron, when I do some good old squats.
00:19:21.760 Now, I look forward to getting back to the deadlift, of course,
00:19:24.980 but I will say the squats, this time around, they have really activated the presence of the primordial beast.
00:19:31.220 So, I feel powerful, I feel good, it feels great, mate.
00:19:35.340 So, squats, definitely a great exercise.
00:19:37.860 And as I've mentioned a few times before, they have a great carryover effect to the deadlift.
00:19:43.000 So, I don't train in the deadlifts right now, because I don't want to jeopardize my elbow,
00:19:48.300 which it feels fine now, by the way, but I'm taking it easy.
00:19:51.400 So, I don't do any deadlifts at the moment, but I know that when I will get back to them,
00:19:56.360 the strength I've gained in the squats, it will help greatly.
00:20:00.480 So, deadlifts are incoming, hopefully, in good time for spring,
00:20:05.160 so I can get in an amazing shape for summer, so I can post Physique.
00:20:10.140 And posting Physique is, at this moment in time, it's a political statement in itself.
00:20:15.380 So, if you post Physique and you look jacked and healthy and good,
00:20:19.560 people will automatically assume that you have good political opinions,
00:20:23.660 which, of course, it's true, because, as we said in a recent video, they are connected.
00:20:28.640 Now, on to the main topic of this fine podcast.
00:20:33.440 We're going to talk about Mike Maxwell's The Cultured Thug Handbook.
00:20:38.560 And we'll start off with a quote in the introduction.
00:20:42.380 I thought it was quite good indeed.
00:20:44.780 So, here it goes.
00:20:45.680 The Cultured Thug can bench 225.
00:20:49.740 He can cook a decent steak.
00:20:51.960 He knows at least one martial art.
00:20:54.040 He owns and can handle a weapon.
00:20:56.100 He can give orders because people will listen,
00:20:58.540 and he can take orders because he doesn't have a chip on his shoulder.
00:21:01.760 He has a family, or at least he wants a family,
00:21:04.880 and not just weekend trips to Bali until he dies alone and unwept amid a collection of Marvel action figures.
00:21:11.140 What The Cultured Thug doesn't have, however, is the time to read a thousand pages just to understand Spengler.
00:21:18.440 Although he should do that.
00:21:20.040 That's where this book comes in.
00:21:22.980 The Cultured Thug is not a new thing.
00:21:24.820 It is something very old.
00:21:26.340 In fact, the further back you go, the more often you meet him.
00:21:29.640 Quite a nice quote indeed.
00:21:31.300 Now, of course, I need to say that I'm no longer a Cultured Thug,
00:21:35.200 because I did read a thousand pages of Spengler to understand his cyclical theory,
00:21:41.220 so I thought it was fun to mention that as well.
00:21:43.880 But yeah, just on a side note here,
00:21:45.540 I do not recommend anyone, unless you're very interested in Spengler,
00:21:49.980 I don't really recommend you taking the time,
00:21:52.300 because it took me a month, the entire month of August,
00:21:55.080 to get through the both volumes,
00:21:57.040 and I could have invested that time more wisely and read other books.
00:22:02.220 But anyway, that is not the point of the quote.
00:22:05.120 That is not the point of me sharing the quote.
00:22:07.100 I just thought to mention it for fun.
00:22:10.000 And also a quick note on Marvel action figures.
00:22:13.640 True Cultured Thugs do, of course, enjoy historical Playmobil figurines.
00:22:18.900 I have a Martin Luther collector's edition
00:22:22.380 that I got a few years ago from my good friend Don.
00:22:26.660 So big shout-out and thank you to you, Don, for that royal gift.
00:22:31.600 I still have it with me.
00:22:33.240 So good stuff, good stuff.
00:22:35.320 Anyway, that was a good quote describing what a Cultured Thug is.
00:22:39.360 So the opposite of a Bugman, basically.
00:22:41.580 Someone who knows how to do a lot of things,
00:22:44.260 someone who has enough gravitas to give orders,
00:22:46.720 someone who has enough humility to understand when he is not the one in charge.
00:22:52.640 This is a different topic.
00:22:54.060 We might return to it.
00:22:55.160 But in a company of mature men,
00:22:58.220 there isn't really an alpha who's always an alpha,
00:23:01.460 but the hierarchy, it's dynamic.
00:23:04.000 So sometimes you just have to say that you know best.
00:23:06.580 So you take the wheel now and you decide what is going on.
00:23:10.320 And then in a different situation,
00:23:12.080 some other guy might take the command
00:23:13.920 because in this particular situation, he knows best.
00:23:16.920 We'll return to it another time.
00:23:18.840 But I just want to say that because some people,
00:23:21.300 they have this very outdated view of masculinity
00:23:23.600 that you have an alpha male who's always in charge
00:23:27.080 and always knows best.
00:23:29.960 So the optimal leadership, at least when we're talking about
00:23:32.740 in an Aryan context, in an Indo-European,
00:23:35.840 in a European context,
00:23:37.140 is that you have a first among equals,
00:23:39.500 a leader who is preferably chosen by other men
00:23:42.600 based on his competence,
00:23:45.440 based on his divine intuition,
00:23:47.960 based on trust.
00:23:50.480 So that is the leader in a specific situation.
00:23:54.700 But then you should always have the humility
00:23:56.340 to submit to something higher.
00:23:58.480 And this also goes into the divine right of kings,
00:24:01.080 by the way, that the king is also beholden to God
00:24:04.140 or to the gods or at least a higher principle.
00:24:06.780 So the manly thing is to be able to submit to something higher.
00:24:12.360 What is very unmanly, what is very childish, immature,
00:24:16.720 is to be someone who has an issue,
00:24:20.240 has problems with submitting to a hierarchy.
00:24:23.200 And you can't work with these people.
00:24:25.180 Then you have complete chaos.
00:24:27.020 I will share a quote here from General Patton.
00:24:29.940 Lead me, follow me, or get hell out of my way.
00:24:33.280 So that is a quite good insight indeed.
00:24:37.460 Now, moving on to the next point.
00:24:40.500 And this is from chapter 9,
00:24:42.620 titled Darwin and the Work of Circumstances.
00:24:45.780 And I will quote here as well,
00:24:47.300 because it's very, very nicely put,
00:24:50.480 very nicely formulated.
00:24:51.820 So shout out again to the author, Mike Maxwell.
00:24:55.020 And I quote,
00:24:55.860 End quote.
00:25:23.200 Now, in the summary of this chapter,
00:25:27.940 he also notes that
00:25:29.100 we don't draw practice from theory.
00:25:31.360 We draw theory from what works.
00:25:33.920 Traditions are group evolutionary strategies.
00:25:37.480 And nothing can be good that does not exist.
00:25:41.280 So this is absolutely crucial to keep in mind.
00:25:44.680 So if we're talking about something like
00:25:46.260 female promiscuity,
00:25:48.320 so something that has been shunned
00:25:50.040 throughout all ages in all cultures.
00:25:52.400 And to just give a quick explanation
00:25:54.540 why it's so catastrophic,
00:25:56.540 it's because if you have a low paternal certainty,
00:26:00.220 then you will have a low paternal investment.
00:26:02.780 And simply put,
00:26:03.620 a father who doesn't care about his offspring,
00:26:05.800 because he doesn't know if it's actually his offspring,
00:26:08.360 if he doesn't invest time, energy, resources in them,
00:26:12.440 they will not have a good life outcome.
00:26:14.680 You can look at the catastrophe of single motherhood for reference.
00:26:18.640 So basically when a father,
00:26:21.220 when a man doesn't invest in the future of a society,
00:26:24.100 then chaos ensues.
00:26:25.840 So it's an absolute danger to accept female promiscuity,
00:26:28.960 which is why it has always been tightly controlled.
00:26:32.460 And this is also something that
00:26:33.780 we wouldn't have a nice civilization.
00:26:36.420 Everything good would have simply not existed
00:26:39.540 had we accepted female promiscuity.
00:26:41.700 So we have traditional gender roles for a reason.
00:26:45.440 So these traditions,
00:26:46.680 they aren't there because we are,
00:26:48.760 you know,
00:26:48.960 we want to oppress women
00:26:50.180 by not letting them sleep around or whatever.
00:26:52.700 We do have this in place
00:26:53.940 because we know that the alternative
00:26:55.460 is to have complete and utter chaos
00:26:57.740 and to not have any civilization at all.
00:26:59.840 So it's similar as to,
00:27:01.400 you know,
00:27:01.580 we punish male aggression.
00:27:03.440 We can't have men going around
00:27:04.820 beating up other men
00:27:06.260 because it's,
00:27:07.180 you know,
00:27:07.340 not a good way to run a society.
00:27:08.880 And we know that it will simply not last.
00:27:11.580 It will not work.
00:27:12.720 So all of these traditions we have,
00:27:15.120 so the nuclear family,
00:27:17.140 traditional gender roles,
00:27:18.420 they are there for a reason.
00:27:20.100 And because we have them in place,
00:27:21.860 then we can have good things.
00:27:23.220 And when you remove these things,
00:27:25.140 then bad things come in its stead.
00:27:27.640 So evolutionary strategy
00:27:28.880 to create a good society.
00:27:31.240 That is what these traditions are.
00:27:33.380 And then you have the eternal,
00:27:35.340 ongoing revolt of the left
00:27:37.080 against all traditional institutions
00:27:39.280 and traditions.
00:27:41.240 And if I,
00:27:42.140 if you will permit me
00:27:43.160 to schizomax a bit,
00:27:44.540 when they remove these shields
00:27:47.340 of humanity,
00:27:48.560 they invite demons.
00:27:50.100 And then you have,
00:27:51.100 and then you have an absolute catastrophe
00:27:52.920 like we have now.
00:27:54.400 So instead of beautiful love stories,
00:27:56.320 we have only fans
00:27:57.980 and pornography and promiscuity
00:27:59.580 and all manner of ills.
00:28:01.660 So to yet again mention
00:28:03.320 the civilizational cycles.
00:28:05.240 So this winter promiscuity
00:28:07.320 and degenerate sexual morals,
00:28:10.500 they are,
00:28:11.300 they will wither and die.
00:28:12.680 And then come spring,
00:28:14.000 come civilizational spring,
00:28:15.820 love and sacred sexuality
00:28:17.940 will be reborn.
00:28:19.740 So the sacred union
00:28:20.900 of man and women.
00:28:22.280 Because something to keep in mind
00:28:23.680 as well is that
00:28:24.700 most people,
00:28:25.660 they probably have less sex today.
00:28:28.720 And that is of course related
00:28:30.040 to the fact that
00:28:31.720 many people,
00:28:32.660 they aren't married,
00:28:33.860 they aren't in a stable relationship.
00:28:36.220 So if we want people
00:28:37.860 to be sexually stimulated,
00:28:40.060 then marriage is the way to go.
00:28:42.540 Excuse my perhaps vulgarity
00:28:44.980 in talking about these issues,
00:28:46.980 but it is quite important
00:28:48.440 when we're talking about
00:28:49.400 the health of our civilization.
00:28:52.180 Because at the moment
00:28:53.260 it is absolutely not healthy
00:28:55.100 in the least
00:28:56.160 with all of these
00:28:57.260 aforementioned ills.
00:28:59.620 Now that was one example
00:29:00.980 of a tradition,
00:29:02.340 of a cultural norm
00:29:03.820 that has been in place
00:29:05.000 since time immemorial.
00:29:07.320 And that is the reason for it.
00:29:09.000 So traditions aren't just
00:29:10.400 something you take with you
00:29:12.020 because they are there
00:29:13.520 for a reason
00:29:14.140 and they should be there
00:29:15.180 for a reason
00:29:15.720 and remove them
00:29:17.180 at your own peril.
00:29:18.940 Now on to a short music break
00:29:20.820 and we'll be back
00:29:21.900 with the next point.
00:29:30.980 We'll be right back.
00:29:59.620 Thank you.
00:30:29.620 Thank you.
00:30:59.620 Thank you.
00:31:29.600 Thank you.
00:31:59.600 Thank you.
00:32:01.600 Thank you.
00:32:03.600 Thank you.
00:32:05.600 Thank you.
00:32:07.600 Thank you.
00:32:09.600 Thank you.
00:32:11.600 Thank you.
00:32:43.600 Thank you.
00:32:45.600 Thank you.
00:32:47.600 Thank you.
00:32:49.600 Thank you.
00:32:51.600 Thank you.
00:32:53.600 Thank you.
00:32:55.600 Thank you.
00:32:57.600 Thank you.
00:32:59.600 Thank you.
00:33:01.600 Thank you.
00:33:03.600 Thank you.
00:33:05.600 Thank you.
00:33:07.600 Thank you.
00:33:09.600 Thank you.
00:33:11.600 Thank you.
00:33:17.600 Thank you.
00:33:19.600 about your social class but of a biological class so you can have an antifa member and that
00:33:27.880 individual might be from a very well-off family and this is actually quite common to see you know
00:33:32.960 an individual with wealthy parents but not so biologically speaking high quality to put it in
00:33:42.820 in such a way i don't want to be crude i don't want to be mean towards anyone but if i am going
00:33:48.900 to be mean against someone it would be some sort of left-wing extremist so we can say someone who is
00:33:55.780 not particularly physically impressive that's a nice and kind way to put it now then this individual
00:34:04.040 he or she they want revenge against the strapping handsome young white man so it doesn't matter if
00:34:12.060 that particular young man he might be from a working class background or whatever so it's not about
00:34:17.420 physical means but it's about biological means so the the well-to-do the well-off antifa member
00:34:24.660 might have such a raging inferiority complex against this strapping young handsome white man that you
00:34:33.000 know the the revolt goes on and he or she just wants to continue to make life hell for the strapping
00:34:39.920 young handsome white man because that's a way for them to get back at them so bioleninism it's still
00:34:46.520 just like all communism i suppose it's a matter of revenge of resentment of getting back at the
00:34:53.500 ones they perceive as having slighted them so the young handsome sensitive white man he might not have
00:35:00.660 done anything at all but just by existing that is a slight enough because then this other individual
00:35:08.080 this individual filled with hate and resentment he will feel inferior and that is being perceived as a slight
00:35:17.460 so the only way he can cope with that is to lash out against the the well-adjusted individual
00:35:24.060 and i will share a legendary quote the greatest quote of all time so this is by forgotten mystery grove
00:35:33.300 on x and he says reminder communism is when ugly deformed freaks make it illegal to be normal then
00:35:40.920 rob and or kill all successful people out of petty resentment and cruelty the ideology is all just
00:35:47.560 window dressing now i'm quoting him this is not me saying this myself but i thought it was a fun way to
00:35:55.120 explain the psychology of communism or in this case bio leninism now a lot more can be said about it but
00:36:03.460 let's move on to the next point we turn to chapter 18 titled corporatism and i will begin with a profound
00:36:12.680 quote i actually shared it on telegram and x so perhaps you've already seen it but anyway here goes
00:36:18.980 communism and corporatism are mortal enemies communism is class conflict corporatism is class
00:36:26.720 collaboration the two could hardly be more different under corporatism the whole comes before
00:36:32.820 the part for marx the part comes first the class is above all in fact with marx the part aspires to
00:36:40.760 become the whole through the dictatorship of the proletariat it's the same with the liberalism
00:36:46.880 for john locke it's the individual above all this relationship between part and whole has been
00:36:53.080 called social ontology liberalism and communism are cousins because they share the same social ontology
00:37:00.280 the part comes first corporatism puts the whole first and i'm skipping ahead to the next page
00:37:08.180 continuing with the quote ironically given its name the first thing corporatism does is to put a leash
00:37:15.080 on corporations like google and blackrock no matter how much money they have a lot of people want to
00:37:21.180 get money out of politics and that is coming from a good place but it's also a bit naive money and
00:37:26.900 politics are always entangled you can't separate them it's a matter of which calls the shots and
00:37:33.780 skipping ahead on the page under capitalism money has a leash on politics under corporatism politics has a
00:37:41.080 leash on money end quote now for those of you who have read dauntless you will be familiar with my term national capitalism it was just a nice title i put on my own view of of money basically money in relation to politics so of course i'm all for entrepreneurship and the free market so to speak but the free market is only free as long as it does good so as soon as someone does something bad
00:38:11.080 then the state will crack down with an iron fist so on such a thing as pornography or you know tormenting animals or something like that so the state always says what is going on so the big corporations the big companies they do not call the shots but as mike says here corporatism politics and not money should call the shots so in my view and this is something i want to see happen in sweden
00:38:39.080 sweden when our guys get into power is that the ability for entrepreneurs to realize their dreams passions projects that is that should be as easy as possible and at the same time if someone does something bad then the state comes in to put an end to it so to give an example meta should not be able to remove my instagram accounts or facebook accounts because they feel like it so the swedish state should
00:39:07.080 have had we had proper men in charge the swedish state would have said to meta that you know you you can't do this because if you do then negative consequences will come to you in terms of you know shutting down server halls or whatever it might be
00:39:23.460 because ultimately because ultimately the state in an optimal scenario a divinely inspired king an enlightened despot he should be a father to his people and you can't let others come in to mistreat your children you can't let others come in to mistreat your citizens your people simply put so that is what should
00:39:42.460 have been done and it will definitely be done in the future again when our guys are in positions of power then
00:39:49.460 these big companies they know that they will have to stick by the rules they can't mistreat citizens as
00:39:56.500 they wish they have to be accountable to something and this can only be done with a strong state in hand
00:40:02.640 and not a state which is bullied by big companies now of course this also depends on the strength of the state
00:40:09.580 itself but if you are a small state then it might be good to be part of a bigger union so that's why
00:40:14.740 i am an appreciator of the eu not the eu as it looks today but this is a very limited mindset if you
00:40:21.900 believe that the eu necessarily has to look the way it does today the eu could become something great and
00:40:27.980 glorious if we had the right people in these positions of power and that is why i say to all sensitive
00:40:34.040 young men here in europe that go into politics imagine what we could achieve if we had our guys in
00:40:41.160 brussels and in strassburg
00:40:42.780 moving on to the next point chapter 22 anarcho tyranny and i suppose most of you you are alas unfortunately you
00:40:57.280 are intimately familiar with the concept of anarcho tyranny because you probably live under anarcho tyranny and
00:41:03.520 especially if you live in the uk beautiful britannia albion merry old england it's a it's a sad
00:41:12.880 tale so much creative potential is there i always defend the good name of england i am very thankful
00:41:19.520 for all of the good things that great britain has given to the world i'm especially thinking about
00:41:25.500 tolkien and warhammer on a very personal note but then of course very many inventions that make
00:41:31.300 our lives better they originate from the british isles anyway anarcho tyranny is simply put when you
00:41:39.140 have anarchy on one side which means that you let certain groups in society run rampant such as okay
00:41:47.380 i'm posting this to youtube so i'm not gonna go into any specific details because also here i'm checking
00:41:52.780 in from sweden and we also have anarcho tyranny to a certain extent so that means we have so that means we
00:41:58.780 have laws such as we have hate speech laws so we don't have freedom of speech so i can't say
00:42:04.080 if there is a particular group that has done something because i risk jail if i do so that is
00:42:10.380 a good example very suitable that i can actually point to a direct example here when we're talking
00:42:15.560 about anarcho tyranny so anyway it's about letting some groups in society run rampant criminal gangs
00:42:22.540 so we can take um an example that will not get me into trouble with the law we can look at gotham
00:42:29.960 city so you have widespread lawlessness so anarchy but then you have anarcho tyranny and the tyranny is
00:42:37.140 aimed at normal citizens law-abiding good citizens such as yours truly so that means they will crack down
00:42:44.680 very hard on me if i say something they don't like and this of course it also has to do with
00:42:50.340 them viewing me as a threat for power because i challenge their right to rule simply put i
00:42:57.120 challenge the current regime and of course i'm hardly the only one who is doing so so anyway
00:43:04.300 anarcho tyranny it combines two very bad things so anarchy for certain groups and tyranny for other
00:43:11.900 groups so you can find plenty of examples of your grandmother has written something angrily on facebook
00:43:18.720 because she has gotten robbed five times in a row by third world immigrants so therefore she writes
00:43:24.540 something angrily on facebook and then a few days later the police shows up to her door to arrest her
00:43:30.380 to to jail her for hate speech or something i'm just using one example but you can find unfortunately
00:43:37.060 you can find many of these examples throughout the west especially in again such a place as the uk but
00:43:43.240 also in germany also in sweden and this is then happening at the same time as you have hand grenades
00:43:50.320 are being thrown into shopping malls and houses and and the like such as we have in sweden so that can
00:43:58.540 explain anarcho tyranny it's quite easy to understand since we literally live under anarcho tyranny now
00:44:04.640 so moving on to the next point chapter 28 heraclitus differential ontology and i am again quoting from
00:44:13.900 the book and recognition of difference goes hand in hand with pattern recognition stereotypes and
00:44:19.760 generalizations which we'll discuss in the next chapter difference is a more masculine worldview
00:44:25.720 because men are better at seeing differences and generalizing and women at seeing similarity
00:44:31.380 and individual empathy end quote so a short passage there but something that is of utmost importance
00:44:39.160 for understanding why the west looks the way it does today and especially when it comes to explaining
00:44:45.680 why women have been so susceptible to accepting the notion that mass immigration from the third world
00:44:54.460 would be a good idea so if you have a harder time generalizing it will be of course harder to understand
00:45:00.800 why mass immigration from the middle east might be a bad idea now i will actually say something
00:45:07.160 positive about the middle east and that is that you have many good men many good middle east men
00:45:13.820 both today and historically speaking and this is especially important to point out when we are talking
00:45:20.500 about philosophy and religion and historical matters simply put because it would be a shame to
00:45:27.600 completely right off that part of the world because they do they have had talented men throughout the
00:45:33.860 centuries so i will humbly admit that i will definitely say that is the case and even today there are many
00:45:39.900 good men from that part of the world definitely i i can't say otherwise and be truthful with myself
00:45:47.420 so that being said when it comes to politics we have to generalize because if we don't if we don't
00:45:54.180 generalize when it comes to large scale societal issues then we're in for a world of trouble we can't
00:46:01.540 judge a people based on a few outliers we can't say i know this individual he's from this country and he's
00:46:07.380 really a great guy we need to look at the general trend we need to look at the pattern and look beyond
00:46:14.120 the exceptions so therefore we can say that mass immigration from the middle east into europe has been
00:46:19.920 an unmeditated catastrophe and it needs to be reversed by mass re-migration that is the truth
00:46:26.820 of the matter so i can keep two things in mind at the same time so i can say that there are talented
00:46:34.280 and good men from the middle east especially historically speaking but we should absolutely
00:46:39.080 not accept immigration from the middle east now to use another example of pattern recognition we can
00:46:45.660 talk about criminals so criminals no matter of race or ethnicity so the criminal physiology the
00:46:53.300 criminal biology is someone with perhaps high testosterone low intelligence low impulse control
00:47:00.960 lack of empathy so there you have a concoction that will make a man more prone to criminality
00:47:07.820 so a man would then say that this thug so thug in the actual bad sense so we're not talking about
00:47:14.300 the cultured thug anymore we're not talking about a man of action but we're talking about a petty
00:47:18.500 criminal someone with low impulse control who hurts others so a man will say this individual he will
00:47:25.860 never amount to anything good because we have seen a hundred times before this personality type with
00:47:32.080 low intelligence low impulse control and zero empathy he's not good for society we can't really do
00:47:38.560 anything about him so throw him into prison and if he's from a different nation then repatriate him
00:47:44.980 as soon as possible now a woman i would say actually an unhealthy woman because a healthy woman with
00:47:51.940 children and healthy instincts her instinct is to protect her children and then you can't have
00:47:58.360 the criminal archetype running around in society because that is a threat to her and her children
00:48:03.840 so it's an unhealthy woman who has a misplaced maternal instinct she will look at a criminal
00:48:10.140 and pity him and say he has gone through a lot of tough times and she will try to come up with ways
00:48:17.460 to fix him she wants to fix him uh and this is by the way something fun you can look at something
00:48:24.100 like pit bulls you have individuals who think that the behavior of a pit bull is up to the owner
00:48:30.360 which of course to a certain extent it is but the pit bull is still a dangerous dog bred for fighting
00:48:36.780 that is what it is so that is its very nature and then you still have individuals who will say that
00:48:43.180 they are the sweetest angels on earth now i understand perfectly well if you have a pit bull
00:48:48.140 if you live in gotham city and you don't have access to any other weapons but it is a weapon it is not a
00:48:53.440 pet a pit bull is a weapon so a different topic but i just want to mention it because the psychology of
00:48:59.820 the the misplaced maternal instinct is still there so an unhealthy woman she can place her maternal
00:49:07.400 instinct onto criminals or onto pit bulls in a bad situation so anyway when this impulse when this
00:49:15.620 instinct is being left to govern then you will have instead of capital punishment or long prison sentences
00:49:23.800 you will have therapy this hardened criminal he needs to go to therapy to be able to come back as a
00:49:30.820 normal and productive member of society so they believe it can actually be fixed but a proper man
00:49:37.980 with a fully functional brain he will see that this particular pattern it will only ever lead to this
00:49:45.340 particular outcome yes there are of course exceptions some might be able to you know overcome their nature
00:49:52.520 and become something good but in most situations that is not the case and again the main point here
00:49:58.860 is that laws they need to be in place for what is the general rule not the exception so we look at the
00:50:05.940 trend we look at the pattern and thereby we create the rules we don't look at these exceptions
00:50:11.340 so we see that this particular personality type he will probably not fix himself society can't fix him
00:50:18.760 because the mental hardware it is not there you can't teach someone empathy in most cases at least
00:50:25.480 you can't teach someone to have a better impulse control in most situations so it is really hard
00:50:31.100 to change someone and this brings us into the fundamental battle of ideas of our time tabula rasa
00:50:38.780 liberalism versus the right worldview so tabula rasa liberalism means that a human is born
00:50:46.100 as an empty blank slate and you can write your own story and if you are a bit wiser than that
00:50:53.800 to put it mildly you understand that this notion is it's so laughable that i don't even find words
00:51:00.160 to describe how insane it is a more reasonable metaphor would be to say that you have a few lines
00:51:07.960 to write on a book that is already a thousand pages long you are your ancestors and your biological
00:51:14.740 hardware yes you can refine it to the best of your abilities but ultimately you have to humbly accept
00:51:20.660 the fact that you are but a part of a very long line stretching back through the mists of time
00:51:28.340 now this is very important to point out whenever we're talking about mass immigration because if you
00:51:34.920 truly believe if you truly believe that tabula rasa liberalism is correct if you truly believe that
00:51:42.560 each human is born as a blank slate then mass immigration it could make sense because then
00:51:48.300 they could become like us now of course we know that this is not the case you can't bring in vastly
00:51:55.120 different peoples into a new country and expect them to become like us simply by learning the correct
00:52:02.720 values and this is also why civic nationalism is such a dorky delusion so if you you become part of a
00:52:10.140 nation by accepting its cultural norms now of course there are individuals from different parts
00:52:17.420 of the world they can become valued members of a new society definitely that can happen but when it
00:52:24.300 comes to again a large scale it is absolutely not possible and absolutely not desirable in the list
00:52:30.980 anyway most of you are already familiar with all of this so we'll get on to the next point
00:52:36.880 and we turn to chapter 30 confucius the rectification of names and i quote from the beginning of the
00:52:45.660 chapter the idea that words shape our reality is often thought of as a left-wing view as a sort of
00:52:52.520 cultural relativism but two things should give us pause before accepting that this really is a left-wing
00:52:58.800 view first that cultural relativism has been cynically abandoned by the left for universal principles
00:53:04.760 like human rights and democracy and second the idea that words shape reality was championed by one of
00:53:11.860 the most conservative thinkers who ever lived confucius end quote now i'll get straight into what i label as
00:53:21.040 word magic and if you have listened to this podcast over 50 episodes by now by the way good work
00:53:29.660 myself if i may be so bold as to pat myself on the back for this achievement and also of course if
00:53:35.940 you have read demigod mentality you will understand what i mean here so yes most definitely the words
00:53:42.180 you use they will have a great impact on everything so for me personally i only ever use good words
00:53:49.340 glorious words words that will be uplifting to myself and others and this is also when we're talking
00:53:55.440 about titles you give to yourself good example is my own title the golden one means incorruptible
00:54:01.460 one this is my title which i strive to uphold had i not had it you would perhaps not even have
00:54:07.420 listened to this now because i wouldn't have used good magic on myself so the good magic i used was that
00:54:14.000 i set up a goal for myself that i reinforced by calling myself that until it became a title that i can
00:54:21.280 comfortably hold and say yeah i live up to the ideals embodied in this name in this title same thing
00:54:28.320 when we're talking about politics if we're talking about such a word as indigenous that is something
00:54:34.420 that they the left the default liberals they do not use for europeans so you can hear them say
00:54:42.040 the sami people they are the indigenous population of sweden which is not the case they came later than
00:54:48.460 the population groups that would form the swedish people same thing if they say the maoris they are
00:54:55.580 the indigenous population of new zealand despite them coming later than the population they brutally
00:55:02.920 conquered and they came later by the way than the saxons came to england for example but they still
00:55:09.240 they don't want to use the term indigenous because they want to keep that potent word magic for the
00:55:15.160 groups they care about so for non-white groups and to use another example about words some powerful hostile
00:55:23.280 word magic you can look at the word racist this is a word that can literally destroy your life if you get
00:55:30.980 perhaps not now as i make this at the very end of 2024 the word it has thanked the gods it has finally lost
00:55:38.440 some of its potency but if you go back a few years or 10 years or something like that and someone called
00:55:44.800 you a racist most men most white men they backed down in fear they cowered like little rabbits if
00:55:51.780 someone pulled out that particular weapon the weapon of racism to be called a racist the end of the world
00:55:58.520 and the best protection here is to simply not care if someone calls you a mean name so same thing if
00:56:05.980 someone were to call you a heretic you have blasphemed against the church you don't believe in
00:56:11.680 the virgin birth of jesus or something like that 500 years ago this would have been a big scandal today
00:56:18.580 not such a big deal so if someone calls you a heretic today chances are that you will not care overly
00:56:24.380 much unless of course you're a zealous christian but the main point i want to make here is that you
00:56:29.240 should view the accusation of racism as you would if someone calls you a heretic it's something that it
00:56:35.140 doesn't really bother you all too much then you can say aha okay i don't believe that all races are
00:56:40.560 the same if you call me a racist i really don't care so this is how you can approach it and this is
00:56:46.280 also how you can take power away from them when they try to bully you in this way because this is
00:56:51.860 something you need to keep in mind that the ones who use the term racism they are bullies and they
00:56:56.660 always go for the weak ones like any bully so just stand up to them show that their words don't have
00:57:02.320 any hold over you and if someone uses the term racism they are not a good person in the least
00:57:08.320 they are a bully and a coward and an overall a very unsympathetic character now the book contains
00:57:14.140 many more interesting insights i just wanted to share a few of them talk a bit about them share my
00:57:19.820 own perspective on them and again i can highly recommend the book i thought it was really good
00:57:25.020 even for a venerable ancient that has been in the game for such a long time as myself i found it
00:57:31.200 very valuable and it's written in a very accessible manner which i appreciate because if you can
00:57:37.740 explain something in an accessible manner it means you've understood the concepts well and
00:57:43.480 mike maxwell here he clearly has so again i can highly recommend the book so that all being said
00:57:50.840 i thank you all for listening thank you for your support as always for those of you who are on
00:57:55.200 gumroad and subscribestar if you would like more podcast episodes then i humbly suggest that you
00:58:02.660 sign up on either gumroad or subscribestar and that's also a great way to support my
00:58:06.940 metapolitical work i have been demonetized since 2019 on youtube so it's a good way to compensate for
00:58:15.960 this great travesty anyway do check out the other episodes i have as i said over 50 of them
00:58:22.780 quite uh quite a bit of collected insights there so do check it out do also read dauntless and demigod
00:58:30.460 mentality absolutely mandatory reading so with that all being said i wish you all a happy yule
00:58:37.140 merry christmas good yule and i will talk to you in the next podcast episode xoxo boom
