00:00:41.780 Go to Daily Wire Plus now and start watching Dr. Jordan B. Peterson on depression and anxiety.
00:00:47.460 Let this be the first step towards the brighter future you deserve.
00:00:57.420 Welcome to the third episode of Season 2 of the Jordan B. Peterson Podcast.
00:01:04.140 My name is Michaela Peterson, and I've been working with my dad on many of his projects for the last year.
00:01:09.100 We've decided to run this podcast as a joint project.
00:01:11.820 We thought that might be something fun and meaningful to do together.
00:01:14.640 We hope you enjoy it.
00:01:15.600 The podcast will feature discussions with scientific, literary, and political thinkers of the highest quality we can manage,
00:01:22.000 so that you have access to honest, reliable, and engaging information.
00:01:25.500 For this episode, we're presenting Dad's lecture at the Keller Auditorium in Portland, Oregon on June 25th, 2018.
00:01:33.340 In this lecture, I describe the surprising popularity of long-form philosophical discussions,
00:01:39.940 making specific reference to my talks with Sam Harris on science and value and religion and atheism,
00:01:46.540 the vital and biologically influenced role that temperament and personality play in determining individual interest and ability,
00:01:53.240 and the necessity that free and untrammeled speech plays in aiding people's ability to think carefully and make proper decisions.
00:02:03.040 Thought is by no means something we only engage in as individuals.
00:02:07.640 I heard there were protesters in Portland.
00:02:10.380 Yeah, well, Portland is the place where you'd expect there to be protesters,
00:02:14.080 and there were probably protesters at somewhere between six and a dozen of the 135 12 Rules for Life lectures around the world.
00:02:24.120 No, I didn't know that.
00:02:25.240 Is that anxiety-provoking at all?
00:02:27.580 Well, it is when you first hear about the possibility of the protest,
00:02:31.080 because you don't know exactly what might come of it.
00:02:33.580 But the way it turned out was, well, first of all, most of the places that advertised the protests,
00:02:41.280 the advertisements for the protests drew out very few protesters.
00:02:45.620 I think the most protests we ever had were maybe a couple dozen,
00:02:50.140 except for one evening when there was a protest for another reason that happened to coincide with one of my lectures.
00:02:55.580 And so all the protest advertisements did was sell more tickets and advertise the show or the lecture more effectively.
00:03:04.440 And I was pretty shielded from whatever protest there might be,
00:03:09.500 because they were always out front, and we had security, not a lot,
00:03:13.780 and I was always in the back of the theater preparing, and so that wasn't a problem.
00:03:19.000 And then, although it's anxiety-provoking because you're not certain exactly what might come of the protest,
00:03:27.300 the overall tenor of the lectures is so positive that the fact that there's a dozen or two dozen protesters
00:03:35.160 compared to the 3,000 people who've come out who are very happy to be there
00:03:39.180 and who are really engaged in the lectures, it makes it completely irrelevant.
00:03:42.640 So I would say, overall, for the entire year's worth of tours, the fact of protest was pretty minimal.
00:03:52.380 It didn't have much of an effect on what we were doing at all.
00:03:55.320 That's good. Has anybody come up to you?
00:03:58.360 Like, has anybody been negative to you, or is it kind of on the outskirts?
00:04:02.260 It's very, very rare that someone is anything but exceptionally positive to me on the street.
00:04:07.780 I've had really, I would say, one, two rude encounters out of literally thousands over the last year.
00:04:17.400 Most people are very careful, cautious.
00:04:21.660 They always ask me if they're inconveniencing me, and I tell them that they're not.
00:04:29.040 And then we have a conversation. They often want a photo.
00:04:32.340 So the one-on-one interactions are incredibly positive.
00:04:37.820 And it's also the case with the questions-and-answer periods and the meet-and-greets after the lectures themselves.
00:04:43.900 The opportunity to meet people, because I usually met about 150 people per lecture, was always extremely positive.
00:04:49.920 And I swore at the beginning of this that if I started to tire of the meeting people,
00:04:55.340 you know, who were there to listen to me talk and to buy my book and to support me,
00:04:58.620 if I ever started to get cynical about that, or to get tired of it, or to start thinking about it as an obligation,
00:05:03.480 that I would just stop.
00:05:05.160 But I never did feel that way.
00:05:06.480 I was always thrilled to meet the people who were there.
00:05:09.160 Because, you know, why wouldn't anyone sensible be thrilled about that?
00:05:13.660 Yeah, they'd come all the way out to support you.
00:05:15.980 Yeah, that's for sure.
00:05:16.760 Slap and stand up.
00:05:17.700 Yeah, and they spent a lot of time and money and effort.
00:05:20.220 And they're already positively inclined.
00:05:24.000 And so I have every reason to be grateful for their attendance and their careful attention
00:05:29.000 and the fact that they're engaging in something serious and that they're serious about it
00:05:33.440 and that they want to talk to me.
00:05:34.960 It's a privilege.
00:05:35.960 And I felt that way the whole time.
00:05:37.940 Oh, that's really cool.
00:05:39.320 When we come back, we'll hear Dad's lecture at the Keller Auditorium in Portland, Oregon.
00:05:46.080 Hey guys, an update on upcoming events.
00:05:48.680 Dad is going to be debating Slavoj Žižek, April 19th at 7.30pm EST in Toronto.
00:05:55.140 The debate is Marxism versus capitalism and should be very interesting.
00:05:59.600 Žižek is basically the world's most prominent Marxist
00:06:02.560 and Dad thinks Marxism is pretty much the most dangerous ideology out there.
00:06:06.900 Should be spicy.
00:06:08.480 Tickets are completely sold out.
00:06:10.420 They sold out incredibly fast.
00:06:11.940 So we set up a live stream for the first time.
00:06:14.720 We figured people who weren't in Toronto would want a chance to see the debate.
00:06:18.280 Plus a lot of Žižek's fans are European.
00:06:20.720 Tickets are being sold at Dad's website, jordanbpeterson.com slash events and at petersonverszijek.com.
00:06:29.380 It should be extremely interesting.
00:06:31.300 Please welcome my father, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson.
00:06:36.820 Thank you.
00:06:39.960 Yeah, and I see Dave mentioned that you guys have generated the largest number of protesters so far.
00:06:47.700 So apparently they're opposed to violent men, which seems like a reasonable proposition.
00:06:53.080 So I don't know where they expect to find them here precisely, but that's okay.
00:07:00.960 So I thought I'd start by just laying out a couple of things I've been thinking about the last couple of days.
00:07:09.300 I use these lectures to think, you know, and so I guess in that sense they're not exactly lectures.
00:07:17.540 I really think about them more as a discussion.
00:07:20.680 You know, you might think, well, it's kind of funny to term this event a discussion because I'm talking and you guys aren't talking.
00:07:28.640 But that's not really true because I can look at the audience constantly and do specific people in the audience and I can see if what I'm saying is making sense and if people are following me.
00:07:41.720 And I listen to everyone in some sense and I try to make sure that everyone's quiet because then I know I'm on track, right?
00:07:51.380 Because if you're rustling around and moving and whispering to each other and so forth, then I've lost the track.
00:07:56.220 And so then the discussion isn't proceeding properly and so it's a discussion.
00:08:01.180 And I've been trying to figure out, you know, I was in Vancouver, I think Dave mentioned that, talking to Sam Harris.
00:08:07.640 And it was so strange because we were there two nights and it sold out and the venue was about, not quite as big as this one, but pretty close.
00:08:15.920 And so that meant that there was 5,000 people in Vancouver who came out to see two, you know, guys who are basically scientists slash intellectuals.
00:08:28.760 I think that's the right category.
00:08:32.800 Talk about high-level ideas, full force, you know.
00:08:36.340 So the thing that I would compare it to most that I've had familiarity with before was a PhD defense.
00:08:43.340 So there was about that level of discourse.
00:08:45.080 Now, it wasn't exactly a PhD defense because I was defending and so was Sam, right?
00:08:50.620 So it was like a dueling PhD defense.
00:08:54.860 But it was so interesting to see that so many people were interested in that, you know.
00:08:59.920 And we talked for an hour the first night and then we were going to go to Q&A, but the audience didn't want us to go to Q&A.
00:09:07.100 They wanted us to continue the discussion.
00:09:09.120 And so we talked for about two and a half hours, which is a long time for an intense discussion like that.
00:09:13.940 And then the same thing happened the next night.
00:09:16.000 And so it's really made me think, like, what the hell's going on?
00:09:19.000 Why is it that this has become popular?
00:09:23.760 Because it's not obvious at all why this is happening or what's happening with this group of people that has been termed by Eric Weinstein, this intellectual dark web.
00:09:34.500 And so I've been trying to think it through.
00:09:36.240 So I'll tell you what I think is happening and you can, maybe it's useful.
00:09:40.680 Because obviously here you are all too participating in whatever this is.
00:09:46.200 And it's certainly a discussion about ideas.
00:09:48.260 There's absolutely no doubt about that.
00:09:49.920 And hopefully about crucially important ideas as well.
00:09:53.040 So the question is why, one question is why in the world is a market opened up for this all of a sudden?
00:09:59.760 You know, and so I was thinking, one of the things, Dave interviewed Sam Harris about two or three weeks ago on his YouTube channel and his podcast.
00:10:11.360 And one of the things Sam said, he was talking about the difference between YouTube and the podcast world, say, and the classic media, especially TV.
00:10:20.880 And so TV is a really interesting medium.
00:10:23.660 You know, and it's been accused of dumbing people down.
00:10:27.020 And it actually hasn't, by the way.
00:10:28.760 The data are quite clear.
00:10:29.840 The television has made people more intelligent.
00:10:31.600 And I think the reason for that is that it's taken the people who would have been most deprived without television and given them something.
00:10:40.640 So imagine that your parents don't take care of you very well when you're a little kid.
00:10:44.880 And so you just have nothing to do.
00:10:46.480 You're just sitting in a room and you have nothing to do.
00:10:48.580 It's way better to have a TV than that.
00:10:50.820 And so TV was an educational tool.
00:10:53.820 And, you know, it might not have been the best educational tool imaginable, but it was a lot better than no educational tool at all.
00:11:02.620 And so I think it pulled up the bottom end a lot.
00:11:05.540 But the problem with TV, so Sam made this comment.
00:11:08.360 He said, you know, if you go on John Anderson on CNN and you want to have a discussion about something important, you've got seven minutes.
00:11:15.640 And then it'll affect a million people, say.
00:11:18.460 That's the top end.
00:11:19.420 And it's like, well, what can you discuss in seven minutes?
00:11:22.460 And the answer to that is, well, only something that you can discuss in seven minutes.
00:11:27.600 And so anything that would take longer to discuss than that turns into a parody or a soundbite or something like that.
00:11:34.280 And I've had quite a bit of experience with mainstream television now.
00:11:38.720 And it's really weird to go to a mainstream television studio because you get turned into processed content instantly.
00:11:46.800 Because the medium is so narrow band and so time-limited that everything is forced into the same strange shape.
00:11:57.140 And that shape is news of the second.
00:11:59.280 News of the second.
00:12:00.360 You know, there's no deep thought.
00:12:01.740 There's no time for letting things unfold.
00:12:05.200 And so it's possible that that's shaped our political discourse deeply in ways that we really don't understand.
00:12:13.940 Marshall McLuhan, who was a famous Canadian social commentator from the 1960s, he said,
00:12:21.640 The medium is the message.
00:12:23.700 And by that he meant that the technology shapes the discourse, right?
00:12:27.860 Is that it has a profound effect on what can be discussed and what can't be discussed merely because of the format.
00:12:35.120 And because television, the bandwidth for television was so expensive and so narrow that it forced everything through this tiny little channel.
00:12:44.180 I kind of stopped watching TV news about 25 years ago.
00:12:49.720 And the reason for that was that I noticed increasingly that when the journalists were covering politicians,
00:12:57.280 they had the politicians in the background talking with no sound.
00:13:01.040 And then the journalists were saying what the politicians said.
00:13:03.820 And I thought, oh, that's interesting.
00:13:05.560 I don't really want that kind of mediation.
00:13:07.560 But the politicians became an excuse for the journalists to have an opinion.
00:13:12.360 And that didn't seem to me to be very useful.
00:13:15.180 And it's far worse now than it was, inconceivably worse now than it was then.
00:13:20.340 Well, but now, so John Anderson gives you seven minutes and you've got a million people.
00:13:25.420 But Joe Rogan gives you three hours.
00:13:28.800 Right?
00:13:29.460 And, right.
00:13:30.940 Right.
00:13:31.860 Yeah.
00:13:33.520 Right.
00:13:34.140 So, so interesting.
00:13:35.860 Isn't it interesting that you're all applauding that?
00:13:38.320 You know, because you think, and no commercials.
00:13:41.000 That's right.
00:13:41.500 Well, that's the other thing.
00:13:42.540 Because, well, the other thing that TV, TV, TV really serves the commercial market.
00:13:47.700 Now, there's nothing wrong with serving a commercial market.
00:13:49.840 But the commercial pressure for TV, because the bandwidth is so expensive, the commercial pressure is completely, what would you, overwhelming.
00:13:58.980 The whole, the whole medium twists to serve the commercial market.
00:14:02.620 Whereas YouTube is basically free.
00:14:04.580 So, it frees you up from the demands, the instantaneous and continual demands of the commercial market.
00:14:12.540 And so, but, so, you know, I said, well, Joe Rogan gives you three hours.
00:14:15.460 And look, and all, a bunch of you applauded.
00:14:18.040 It's like, isn't that interesting that you're so happy for some reason about the extension of the format to three hours, which is really like a big chunk of time.
00:14:30.480 You're so happy with the extension of the forum that just a mention of it makes you applaud.
00:14:35.380 It's really something.
00:14:36.220 And so, it looks like we're, what we're doing, what we're, what we're doing is sort of, I think we're celebrating the dawn of a, a new educational medium.
00:14:44.380 I really do believe that.
00:14:45.640 Like, so one of the things that happened to me about a year and a half ago was that, like, I had put my YouTube, my, my class videos up on YouTube, eh?
00:14:54.740 Because I was curious.
00:14:55.660 It's like, well, why not record them and put them on YouTube?
00:14:58.860 It's like, it wasn't hard.
00:14:59.800 I mean, I used very primitive, well, very inexpensive technology.
00:15:05.780 It's not primitive.
00:15:06.460 I used an iPad and a good microphone.
00:15:08.420 And it's like, well, everyone has an iPad.
00:15:09.740 But it's not like that's primitive technology, man.
00:15:11.840 That's major league technology.
00:15:13.820 And so, but the production cost was very low and it was unmediated.
00:15:17.580 And, you know, and I'd done a little bit of work for public television in Canada.
00:15:21.340 So, I was a little bit familiar with the television world.
00:15:24.320 And there was a bit of a market for what I was doing in Ontario.
00:15:26.720 And that was quite interesting because they were high-level lectures.
00:15:29.800 So, I thought, oh, what the hell?
00:15:30.820 I'll throw all this stuff up on YouTube because, well, because I'm curious.
00:15:35.220 That was the real reason.
00:15:36.380 And I wanted to play with a new technology.
00:15:38.420 And the best way to learn a new technology is actually to use it, right?
00:15:41.160 So, I thought, oh, what, I'll put these up.
00:15:43.300 And so, I started putting up my videos in 2013.
00:15:47.660 And then by the beginning of 2016, in April, it hit a million views.
00:15:52.440 And I thought, huh.
00:15:54.140 Because I'm a quantitative guy.
00:15:56.780 I've done statistics for a long time.
00:15:58.580 And I've, I mean, psychology is an intense, a field that intensely uses statistics.
00:16:04.320 And so, I'm really interested in numbers.
00:16:05.920 And I hit a million views.
00:16:07.460 And I thought, okay, what exactly does that mean?
00:16:11.240 Like, if you publish a scientific paper and you get a thousand citations, you've, like,
00:16:16.780 hit, you've hit it out of the park, man.
00:16:19.120 That just, that's like one-tenth of one percent of scientific papers gives you a thousand citations.
00:16:23.460 And if you publish a book and you sell a million copies, it's like you're doing a football touchdown
00:16:28.400 dance in the hallway, right, where no one can see you, hopefully.
00:16:34.640 And a million of anything is a lot.
00:16:36.880 And I thought, okay, well, now I've got a million views on YouTube.
00:16:39.720 What does, what am I supposed to think about that?
00:16:41.920 Because we don't understand YouTube metrics.
00:16:43.940 What does it mean to have a million views?
00:16:45.920 It's a lot.
00:16:47.120 What does it signify?
00:16:48.340 How much influence do you have?
00:16:49.600 What difference is it making?
00:16:51.420 You know, when people were watching a fair chunk of the lectures, the average was 20 minutes.
00:16:56.040 It's a stupid statistic, the average.
00:16:57.780 You don't want that.
00:16:58.620 You want the typical viewing duration.
00:17:01.000 And that's not the average.
00:17:02.060 Because most people would click in for 10 seconds, right?
00:17:04.860 But some people are watching the whole thing.
00:17:07.440 It's like, okay, now I've got an audience.
00:17:10.100 It's a million people.
00:17:11.320 The only reason they're watching the videos is because they want to learn.
00:17:15.360 That's it, right?
00:17:16.120 There's no other reason because there's no credit given for it.
00:17:18.400 So it's the perfect audience if you're a university professor, because who else would you want
00:17:22.820 to talk to other than people who want to listen, right?
00:17:25.600 Otherwise, it's a lie.
00:17:27.160 You're lecturing to people who don't want to be there, and they don't want to be there.
00:17:30.320 It's like, that's just not helpful, but this is perfect.
00:17:33.660 And so I thought, okay, well, it's a million.
00:17:36.000 What the hell is this?
00:17:36.960 What is this YouTube thing?
00:17:38.200 Because I thought, it's a place, it's a repository for cute cat videos is kind of what
00:17:42.980 I thought about it.
00:17:44.040 And then I thought, well, wait a second, here's something cool.
00:17:50.180 So, you know, it was only about 400 years ago, 500 years ago, something approximating
00:17:54.540 that, that Gutenberg invented the movable type press, and right, all of a sudden, we
00:17:58.880 had books.
00:18:00.020 I mean, there were books before, but they were hand copied, and they were often on leather.
00:18:04.920 I mean, they were staggeringly expensive, right?
00:18:07.260 To have a library meant you were one rich person, and most people didn't have books, and it
00:18:11.340 didn't matter anyways, because they couldn't read.
00:18:13.440 So, but, but the printing press came along, and all of a sudden, you could multiply knowledge,
00:18:18.560 and everyone had access to it.
00:18:20.400 So that was a big deal, and that was a major deal.
00:18:23.520 I mean, it caused all sorts of revolutions, and it raised the average, well, the average
00:18:29.320 intelligence of people immensely.
00:18:30.900 But now, look, look what's happened, is all of a sudden, we're in a world where the spoken
00:18:36.480 word now has the same reach as the printed word.
00:18:41.520 That's never, ever happened before.
00:18:44.840 And so then you can think, so that's a major league revolution.
00:18:47.420 I thought, oh, I see that YouTube, that's a Gutenberg revolution.
00:18:50.940 That's not a repository for cute cat videos.
00:18:53.560 That's an absolutely transformative technological revolution.
00:18:57.840 So that's one revolution.
00:18:58.960 It's like the spoken word now has the reach of the written word, but it's cheaper to produce,
00:19:04.340 and it's faster.
00:19:05.760 And so it has more, it has advantages over the written word.
00:19:09.600 Because, like, if you're going to write a book, man, first of all, forget it, because
00:19:13.220 no one's going to buy your book.
00:19:15.160 And I mean, no publisher is going to buy your book, so it's impossible.
00:19:19.000 And then even if you do publish your book with a good publisher, which isn't going to
00:19:23.020 happen, the probability that anyone will buy it is basically zero.
00:19:26.860 So the barrier to books is unbelievably high.
00:19:30.640 And there's some utility in that, because it keeps out a lot of terrible books.
00:19:33.780 But the barrier on YouTube is, there's no barrier.
00:19:37.800 You can move from conception to publication in, like, one day.
00:19:42.980 And so that's absolutely, also, that's another technological revolution.
00:19:46.500 You have the permanence of print with the reach of print with no lag whatsoever and at no cost.
00:19:53.280 It's like, okay, that's really something.
00:19:55.500 And then there's another technological revolution that's been laid on top of that.
00:19:59.020 So, you know, with Rogan's podcast and YouTube, he has a pretty decent YouTube.
00:20:04.140 And I'm using Rogan because I think he's, in some sense, used the YouTube podcast combination
00:20:10.760 for long, large-scale, long-format intellectual discourse better than anyone else.
00:20:17.860 He has a big YouTube following, and, you know, he'll put a video up, and it can get 3 million
00:20:22.620 views.
00:20:23.480 You know, the top-end videos that he does get 3 million views.
00:20:26.220 But that pales in comparison to the podcasts.
00:20:29.180 The podcasts get 10 times that.
00:20:31.760 And so Rogan gets 100, the last time I talked to him, and this was like six months ago, so
00:20:36.540 it's probably more than this now.
00:20:38.340 He gets 150 million downloads a month.
00:20:42.220 It's approximately 1.5 billion downloads a year.
00:20:46.500 He's the most powerful interviewer that ever lived.
00:20:50.340 So it's, and I asked him that.
00:20:51.660 I said, what do you think?
00:20:52.360 Joe, you're the most powerful interviewer that ever lived.
00:20:54.400 What do you think about that?
00:20:55.300 He says, I don't ever think about it.
00:20:57.660 And, well, and it's understandable, because what do you think about that?
00:21:01.860 Who he doesn't, no one knows what to think about that.
00:21:03.760 How would, what would you think about that?
00:21:05.360 It's like, what's that supposed to mean?
00:21:07.260 It's like, he just does what he does, and he doesn't really think about it.
00:21:11.140 But, but see, one of the things that's happened with the podcast that's cool, and this
00:21:15.220 is transforming the book market at the moment, is that, this is the other part of the technological
00:21:19.640 revolution.
00:21:20.740 You can't read and drive.
00:21:23.360 You can't read and do dishes.
00:21:25.400 You can't, well, you can read and exercise, but not really.
00:21:27.920 You can't read and walk, but you can listen to podcasts, and you can do all those things.
00:21:32.120 And so what, what's, what that has also done is it's taken a technology that's, that's
00:21:37.200 essentially book-like, so, and we've already talked about that, technological transformation,
00:21:42.740 and it's transformed it into something that you can use in found time.
00:21:47.060 So it's like, it's like the audio podcast world has added an hour and a half to everyone's
00:21:53.060 day that they can do nothing but learn with.
00:21:56.000 And that's actually what people are doing.
00:21:57.760 Like, I see my graduate students, for example, who are highly literate people.
00:22:01.340 Many of them are listening to podcasts instead of reading, and of course, they turn up the
00:22:06.320 speed, so they can listen, because I don't know how fast you listen to a podcast or a
00:22:11.600 YouTube video.
00:22:12.200 I can, 1.5 seems to kind of top out for me, unless the speaker's very slow, because it
00:22:17.300 starts to get muffled after that.
00:22:18.680 But you can double the speed approximately with no real problem.
00:22:22.920 And so, and a lot of these younger people are listening to podcasts instead of listening
00:22:29.000 to music, and that's also really something, because music's been an unbelievably dominant
00:22:33.600 cultural force, partly because it's been distributed so widely for about 60 years, but
00:22:38.960 the audio world seems to be encroaching on that, and you can see this also happening in
00:22:43.180 the book publishing market.
00:22:44.760 So audible's become a real force, say, and the audio books have started to compete with
00:22:52.560 hardcover and paperback books in terms of pure volume of books sold.
00:22:56.180 So that means that people are listening to books now instead of reading them.
00:23:00.260 And then there's another interesting thing that's happening there.
00:23:02.740 It's like, maybe, like, you know, most people don't read much, and of the people who do read,
00:23:09.300 hardly anyone buys books.
00:23:11.580 So book buying is a very niche market.
00:23:14.940 But maybe that's because there's some barriers to reading.
00:23:18.420 You know, you have to be a very, very fluent reader to buy difficult non-fiction, generally
00:23:24.480 speaking, but maybe 10 times as many people can listen to difficult non-fiction as can
00:23:29.540 read it.
00:23:30.500 I mean, it might be, eh?
00:23:31.660 And if it's 10 times as many people, that's also a major technological revolution, because
00:23:36.820 it would mean that all of a sudden high-end intellectual material that was the province
00:23:41.000 of a very small minority of people has all of a sudden capable of reaching an audience
00:23:45.580 of maybe 10 times that.
00:23:46.860 And so I've been running all that through my head.
00:23:51.880 I said, okay, well, what's the nature of this revolution?
00:23:54.260 It's like four revolutions at the same time.
00:23:57.020 And so then I was just talking to Dave backstage, because we've been talking about this, you know,
00:24:02.080 this intellectual dark web idea, and that the tension that's developed, perhaps, we're
00:24:07.180 inside it, so it's hard to see it objectively.
00:24:09.200 But the tension that's developed between this new media, podcast, YouTube, let's say, and
00:24:15.680 the journalism that's taking place online as well plays a role in that, versus the classic
00:24:21.320 media, especially the television stations and so forth.
00:24:24.440 It's like YouTube offers absolutely everything that television offers, plus a bunch more.
00:24:31.280 So it has all the advantages of television and none of the disadvantages.
00:24:34.380 And then it offers immense bandwidth at no cost.
00:24:39.140 So I can't see how it can possibly not win completely.
00:24:45.100 And so I think that part of the reason that this, that you're all here, for example, and
00:24:51.260 that whatever this is, is happening, and that there's an emergent market for high-level intellectual
00:24:57.260 discourse, who the hell would have ever guessed that, is because the technology that underlies
00:25:03.360 YouTube and podcasts is so powerful, it's not even the content, you know, it's not the
00:25:08.240 fact that it's Dave Rubin, or Joe Rogan, or me, or Ben Shapiro, or any of the people who
00:25:12.120 seem to have, what would you say, harnessed this.
00:25:15.500 We were in the right place at the right time, in some sense, but the underlying technology
00:25:19.020 is such a monster that it's going to just change everything.
00:25:22.520 And so, wouldn't it be something if we're in an era now where masses of people are really
00:25:28.200 willing to engage in high-level intellectual and philosophical discourse?
00:25:31.580 And it kind of looks like that might be the case.
00:25:34.360 So that's...
00:25:35.460 Yeah, and I mean, who knows for how long this, the hunger for this has been developing, you
00:25:48.480 know, it could easily be for decades.
00:25:50.300 I think you saw a little bit of that starting maybe with talk radio, right?
00:25:54.340 Because talk radio was at least longer, longer format.
00:25:57.040 But it still didn't have the same massive advantages that YouTube and podcasts have, while the other
00:26:02.720 advantage, of course, they have is it's on demand, right?
00:26:05.800 You can access it whenever you want.
00:26:09.060 And so, that's a lot of technological revolutions all piled into one thing.
00:26:15.220 So, hopefully, hopefully, maybe this is the case.
00:26:17.680 Maybe this will make us all smarter.
00:26:19.120 I mean, it's possible.
00:26:21.320 So, it...
00:26:22.900 Because it was just shocking to me to be in Vancouver and to see...
00:26:28.540 It was so interesting participating with the audience because, you know, the thing that
00:26:33.140 I did with Harris was billed as kind of a debate, like combat in some sense.
00:26:38.020 It was...
00:26:38.400 Harris had his point and I had my point and one of us was going to win.
00:26:42.060 And neither of us were really actually interested in that, although that could have happened
00:26:47.100 and it might have been okay.
00:26:48.620 But what happened instead was that we actually had a discussion.
00:26:51.980 Harris is a smart guy and he's got his points, man.
00:26:54.980 And so, we actually had a discussion about what it was that he thought and what it was
00:26:59.820 that I thought.
00:27:00.780 And then we were trying to push what we both thought way further along.
00:27:06.020 And it's actually what we were doing.
00:27:07.740 It wasn't a game or anything like that.
00:27:09.440 And what was so interesting was the audience was 100% on board with that.
00:27:14.280 That that seemed to be carrying...
00:27:16.400 Because there's something going on that attracts people's interest in a forum like this, too.
00:27:20.640 There's something going on.
00:27:22.040 Now, what I think is going on is that everyone loves to participate in...
00:27:28.860 Well, I've called it the logos.
00:27:30.300 And so, the logos is the capacity of free and truthful speech to conquer chaos
00:27:38.780 and to further the generation of habitable order, right?
00:27:42.640 It's the manner in which we participate in creation itself.
00:27:45.360 I would say that's a religious take on it.
00:27:48.340 And I think it's extraordinarily accurate.
00:27:50.840 And I think that's what people are doing in a forum like this when it's working properly.
00:27:55.120 Is we're all here to see if we can expand our competence outward into what we don't know a little bit more.
00:28:01.180 And we can restructure what we do know so that we're more competent people.
00:28:04.920 And that I think that participating in that process is...
00:28:08.060 There isn't anything more gripping than that.
00:28:10.740 And there shouldn't be.
00:28:11.820 Because what else could you possibly do that would be better than to make yourself competent across a broader territory
00:28:19.680 and restructure the tools you already have at hand so that they're sharper and that they work better?
00:28:25.040 It's like, why would you be interested in doing anything other than that?
00:28:29.300 And then you see, well, people actually really are interested in it.
00:28:32.460 And then I think maybe some of the contempt that seems to have been generated...
00:28:37.800 Like, one of the things I've seen, the mainstream journalist types particularly, not all of them.
00:28:43.300 I'm not trying to paint them all with the same brush because it's not fair to do that.
00:28:48.280 There's lots of credible journalists.
00:28:49.560 But one of the things I have noticed, and I've noticed this more among TV journalists, I would say, than print journalists,
00:28:55.480 is that they have quite a bit of contempt for their audience.
00:28:58.680 You know, they think of their audience as stupid.
00:29:01.080 And then I think, well, why is that?
00:29:02.780 It's because it might be because the medium has made the audience stupid.
00:29:07.940 It's so...
00:29:08.700 Like, if I can only get your attention for six minutes, and that's at the absolute limit of...
00:29:14.740 You know, if I'm very influential, maybe I can get your attention for six minutes once every six months.
00:29:20.660 It's like, I'm not going to think much of your intelligence, you know, because I'm viewing you through an unbelievably narrow channel.
00:29:27.740 Whereas all of a sudden now, you can view people through this incredibly wide channel.
00:29:31.520 It's like, well, I can talk to you for 30 hours, right?
00:29:34.640 And so, that's a whole different issue.
00:29:36.640 We can go into things way more deeply as a consequence of that.
00:29:39.820 And the Audible people talked to me this week, and they said that...
00:29:43.360 Because they're experimenting with the audio format now, too.
00:29:45.880 And they said that people seem to like...
00:29:47.560 The minimum chunk that people want is nine hours.
00:29:51.720 Right?
00:29:52.260 Well, and then look at what's happening on venues like Netflix.
00:29:56.640 It's like, turns out you guys don't want half-hour sitcoms.
00:29:59.340 You want 40-hour, unbelievably complicated dramas, right?
00:30:05.020 Right.
00:30:06.260 Right.
00:30:07.540 Well, and, you know, people have done content analysis of the development of TV shows across time.
00:30:14.740 And this has really accelerated in the last four or five years.
00:30:17.820 So, television shows are way more complex than they used to be, right?
00:30:23.440 Way more characters, way more plot lines, way more complicated plot lines,
00:30:27.520 developing across very long spans of time.
00:30:31.080 And people seem to absolutely love that.
00:30:33.280 I mean, how many of you have binge-watched a whole series?
00:30:38.760 Yeah, yeah.
00:30:39.680 So, that can be, well, a minimum of a dozen hours, something like that.
00:30:45.860 And the more twisty the plot lines, and the more complexly layered the characterizations,
00:30:51.420 all of that, the better.
00:30:52.300 That's pretty interesting, too, because it starts to mean that the deep narratives that
00:30:59.120 are being produced on places like Netflix, also freed of the bandwidth problem, you know,
00:31:04.980 they're starting to approach the same complexity as great literature.
00:31:08.980 So, that's cool.
00:31:10.080 So, it could easily be that we're actually smarter than we think.
00:31:13.960 You know, we're smarter than we've revealed ourselves to be through our previous technology.
00:31:19.200 And so, that would be really cool.
00:31:21.980 And maybe we could have a sophisticated discourse over the next 10 years.
00:31:26.740 And I think maybe that's what all of this is.
00:31:29.520 I think it's the beginning of widespread sophisticated discourse that's mediated by this exceptional technology.
00:31:37.040 And so, well, wouldn't that be something?
00:31:40.060 That would be so cool if it was true.
00:31:41.660 And it looks like it.
00:31:42.500 It's like, you know, this is a big audience for something like this.
00:31:46.620 3,000 people, that's a lot of people.
00:31:49.720 And so, and the forums in Dublin and London that I'm going,
00:31:57.980 because I'm doing the last two talks with Sam Harris, one in Dublin and one in London,
00:32:01.980 they're 5,000 expandable to 10,000.
00:32:05.140 So, you know, I don't know how far we'll go into, I think we sold about 5,000 seats in Dublin.
00:32:09.860 I don't know what that'll expand to.
00:32:11.800 Maybe by the time the talks occur, that would be on the 14th of July.
00:32:15.020 But there's obviously, there's obviously a massive market for this.
00:32:20.620 So, it's so interesting and it looks like it's so good.
00:32:24.220 It might be that people are way more sophisticated than we think.
00:32:28.520 And that we could elevate our political and our philosophical discourse way above what we're accustomed to.
00:32:34.120 And that this is the start of that.
00:32:35.560 Going online without ExpressVPN is like not paying attention to the safety demonstration on a flight.
00:32:49.600 Most of the time, you'll probably be fine.
00:32:51.660 But what if one day that weird yellow mask drops down from overhead and you have no idea what to do?
00:32:57.360 In our hyper-connected world, your digital privacy isn't just a luxury.
00:33:00.740 It's a fundamental right.
00:33:02.500 Every time you connect to an unsecured network in a cafe, hotel, or airport,
00:33:06.780 you're essentially broadcasting your personal information to anyone with a technical know-how to intercept it.
00:33:11.800 And let's be clear, it doesn't take a genius hacker to do this.
00:33:15.000 With some off-the-shelf hardware, even a tech-savvy teenager could potentially access your passwords, bank logins, and credit card details.
00:33:22.040 Now, you might think, what's the big deal?
00:33:24.500 Who'd want my data anyway?
00:33:26.060 Well, on the dark web, your personal information could fetch up to $1,000.
00:33:30.660 That's right, there's a whole underground economy built on stolen identities.
00:33:34.720 Enter ExpressVPN.
00:33:36.480 It's like a digital fortress, creating an encrypted tunnel between your device and the internet.

00:35:28.440 So, I'm going to start with, I'm going to move now to discuss rule one in 12 Rules for Life, and I'm, I'm, it's a rule I've hit multiple times because I've been working on it a lot, but it's also, there's things about the way that I've been conceptualizing this rule that have actually changed as a consequence of the discussion that I had with Harris.
00:35:52.900 So, I'm going to twist some of that into this tonight.
00:35:55.980 So, in 12 Rules, in the book, the most, the chapter that's received the most satirical attention, let's see, and the most vicious criticism in some sense, is the first chapter, which kind of surprised me.
00:36:12.780 I thought the fifth chapter was going to be the one that would do me in, and that's the one that's don't let your children do anything that makes you dislike them.
00:36:20.020 I figured I was dead in the water for, for publishing that, because, well, first of all, I've made the claim that children can be dislikable, which is self-evidently true, but not something you're ever supposed to say.
00:36:32.100 And then, the other thing that's completely taboo about that title is that you could be a parent and not like your children, which is also obviously true, but another thing that you're not supposed to say.
00:36:47.740 So, I thought the combination of those two would be just dead, deadly, but I got a whole pass for Rule 5, but the whole lobster thing, man, people have been up in arms about that.
00:37:00.160 So, and I didn't expect that at all, but I do understand why, I do understand why, I think, and talking to you, Harris, made it even clearer.
00:37:08.840 So, I'm going to lay out the underpinnings of Rule 1, and tell you, first of all, why I wrote it the way that I did write it.
00:37:16.040 See, I've been trying to figure out what our fundamental political debate is about.
00:37:21.840 Now, one of the things that psychologists have learned in the last 10 years or so, we sorted out the space to describe personality about 30 years ago.
00:37:31.740 It started in the early 1960s, but we had a pretty stable model of personality by the early 1990s.
00:37:37.760 And so, the model is the standard big five personality model.
00:37:41.820 Extroversion, it's a positive emotion dimension.
00:37:44.580 Neuroticism, it's a measure of sensitivity to negative emotion, especially anxiety and emotional pain.
00:37:49.960 Agreeableness, which seems to be on the pro-agreeable side, sort of compassion and politeness, and on the less agreeable side, sort of toughness and bluntness.
00:37:58.460 That's conscientiousness, that's dutifulness, industriousness, and orderliness, and openness to experience, which looks like a creativity dimension.
00:38:07.580 Now, those dimensions were extracted out from large-scale surveys using blunt force statistics.
00:38:15.120 No theory, except the only theory that underlies the big five is the idea that the structure of personality might be encapsulated in language, right?
00:38:25.200 That personality is so important that we've actually built it into our linguistic system.
00:38:29.400 So, if you analyze the language, you can extract out the dimensions of personality.
00:38:33.040 That was the only theory.
00:38:34.460 And then it was brute force statistics that did the extraction of the dimensions.
00:38:38.380 And then, so, and that was all sorted out by about 1992, 1993.
00:38:42.360 And so, and most psychologists, we were debating still about the precise details of the big five model, but most people accept the notion that insofar as you can measure personality with questionnaires, then it has approximately a five-dimensional structure.
00:39:02.060 And so, maybe it's six, maybe it's seven, but it's certainly at least five.
00:39:08.160 And then, once we got that sorted out, we could look at other issues like, well, were there personality differences between men and women?
00:39:15.200 And there are.
00:39:16.140 And then we could decide whether those were biological or cultural.
00:39:19.620 And they're both, but there's certainly a heavy biological influence.
00:39:23.380 And we could also start looking at political belief.
00:39:26.420 And so, there's been a burgeoning field, probably about 10 years in development now, showing that you vote your temperament.
00:39:34.540 Now, it's quite interesting, because what you think is you look at the facts, and then you have a rational discussion with yourself, and you come to your reasoned conclusions, and that's why you're a Republican or a Democrat, let's say.
00:39:46.540 But it doesn't really look like that, because being a Republican is actually heritable, so it's under biological influence, which is quite interesting, same with being a Democrat.
00:39:55.360 And it's also very tightly associated with your temperament, not perfectly, and it's not like you don't think about things politically, but you see the thing about your temperament is it tends to serve as a screen for the facts.
00:40:10.020 So, you think, well, I look at the facts, and I derive my conclusions, but what you don't take into account is, well, where do you look for the facts, right?
00:40:19.640 Because you just don't look randomly everywhere for facts, you have your places to go for facts, and that sort of biases what facts you'll see.
00:40:28.100 And then, something in you highlights certain facts as worthy of your attention and others as not, and that's your temperament.
00:40:35.240 So, it's really hard to get access to the facts independently of your temperament.
00:40:40.520 And your temperament basically provides you with a quick and dirty way of interacting with the world.
00:40:45.520 So, like, if you're extroverted, for example, you're going to exploit the world insofar as the world is social, and you're a social being.
00:40:53.080 And if you're agreeable, then you're going to orient your life around relationships.
00:40:56.720 And if you're conscientiousness, if you're conscientious, then you're going to orient your life around duty.
00:41:01.120 And if you're open and creative, then you're going to organize your life around entrepreneurial and creative activity.
00:41:07.700 And so, those are your niches.
00:41:09.600 And it's not exactly that that's your choice, although that enters into it.
00:41:14.260 It's like that's who you are.
00:41:16.520 And if you have children, especially if you have a couple of them, you can see how different their temperaments are right from very, very early.
00:41:24.960 You can really see it, I think, right away, but you can certainly see it by six months.
00:41:28.980 So, anyways, it turns out that your political choices are very heavily influenced by your temperament.
00:41:36.040 And so, this is how it works.
00:41:37.440 So, if you're liberal, you're likely to be high in trait openness, which is the creativity dimension, but low in trait conscientiousness.
00:41:45.900 And so, that's industriousness and orderliness.
00:41:48.420 And if you're conservative, it's the reverse.
00:41:50.320 You tend to be high in conscientiousness and low in openness.
00:41:54.140 And then that has occupational significance.
00:41:57.800 So, what that means is the liberals tend to be the creative types.
00:42:02.420 Artistic, writers, you know, the whole artistic domain.
00:42:06.220 Plus, they tend to be the entrepreneurs.
00:42:09.240 Whereas the conservative types tend to be managers and administrators.
00:42:13.160 And so, there's an interesting kind of economic rule that goes along with that, which I think everyone should think about for like about ten years.
00:42:19.520 Which is that you, conservatives and liberals actually need each other in an economic sense.
00:42:25.600 Because the liberals think up all the new companies, but they're too scatterbrained to run them.
00:42:30.980 Right, exactly.
00:42:32.220 And the conservatives can really run something like mad once they know what it is, but they can't think up anything new to run.
00:42:38.600 So, liberals start companies and conservatives run them.
00:42:43.200 So, that's quite it.
00:42:44.640 And so, those are different niches in some sense, right?
00:42:47.180 So, the liberals are the people in some sense who are out on the fringe.
00:42:51.220 And they're dealing with new ideas continually.
00:42:55.160 And the fact that they're low in conscientiousness is actually somewhat of a plus in that domain.
00:42:59.340 Because one of the things that characterizes entrepreneurs is that as they're pursuing their new technology, they have to be willing to break rules.
00:43:07.920 Because, you know, if you're doing something new, you can't do it the old way.
00:43:11.920 But if you're a conscientious person, dutiful, industrious, and orderly, then it's really going to bother you to break rules.
00:43:18.440 Because you think those damn rules are there for a reason.
00:43:20.460 Which they are.
00:43:22.660 And so, you should have a good reason for breaking them, right?
00:43:25.400 But for an entrepreneurial type, it's like, well, I need to get this done.
00:43:29.160 And I'm pursuing what I'm interested in.
00:43:30.600 The stupid rules can wait.
00:43:32.480 And then you need, of course, you need the conservative types to kind of mop up behind you and make sure that you implement things properly.
00:43:38.480 So, that's worth knowing.
00:43:39.840 Because if you're really liberal, and, you know, you see the world through that lens, you still might think, yeah, yeah, but we need these damn annoying conservatives.
00:43:46.640 Because we would never be able to implement something.
00:43:49.180 We'd never get something running stably.
00:43:51.580 We'd never have anyone to pay attention to the details, the painful details, if we didn't have conservatives.
00:43:57.860 And the conservatives need to think, well, yeah, you know, it's really good to do things the tried and true way, and by the book, and so forth.
00:44:04.680 And in a disciplined and militaristic, say, patriotic, orderly manner.
00:44:09.380 But now and then, we're going down the wrong path in a very efficient way.
00:44:13.420 And we need someone to, well, that happens a lot, man.
00:44:16.000 That happens a lot.
00:44:17.200 Happened to Japan, right?
00:44:18.560 Because Japan was unbelievably on the ascendancy up till the 80s, and they ossified, and they don't have a very entrepreneurial culture.
00:44:26.120 I mean, the Japanese are doing fine, but they don't have a very entrepreneurial culture.
00:44:30.360 You know, and one of the things you Americans have got brilliantly, and I don't really know how you managed it,
00:44:36.080 was that, you know, the managerial and administrative types can run corporations,
00:44:42.340 but you let creative people knock the corporations away when they're no longer useful and produce a new one.
00:44:48.880 And so that's painful for everyone, right?
00:44:50.940 Especially the people in the old corporations, but it's absolutely necessary.
00:44:55.460 So then you think there's a fundamental tension there, right?
00:44:58.340 A fundamental tension that's never going to go away.
00:45:00.700 And that tension is between old structures and their utility, and new structures and their necessity.
00:45:09.280 So the liberals are always clamoring about new structures and their necessity,
00:45:13.500 and the conservatives are always clamoring about how we need to preserve the old tradition.
00:45:18.380 And what's horrible about that is they're both absolutely right.
00:45:22.820 And so here's another way of thinking about it.
00:45:26.000 It's like, so there's an intractable problem here.
00:45:29.120 It will never go away.
00:45:30.180 And the problem is, you need structures to orient you in the world,
00:45:35.800 but the structures become old and out of date, and they need to be updated and sometimes abolished.
00:45:41.920 And so then the question is, when do you preserve, and when do you transform?
00:45:46.160 And the answer to that is, you don't know, and you never will.
00:45:50.360 And the reason for that is that, well, this is the big problem.
00:45:54.420 So you don't know, and you never will, and the answer is, why?
00:45:59.580 Or the question is, why is that?
00:46:01.360 Why can't you solve this problem?
00:46:03.140 And the answer is, well, because the environment keeps shifting on you, unpredictably.
00:46:09.200 Here's a good example.
00:46:10.440 Try to predict the stock market.
00:46:12.880 It's like, good luck, you can't.
00:46:15.160 You can't.
00:46:15.780 Actually, if you do random selection, that's about as good as you can do.
00:46:21.560 So this has been tested over and over.
00:46:23.420 So like if you take, say you take a cohort of money managers, money managers, and you look at how they do in terms of stock market investment over a five-year period,
00:46:35.780 you find that if a random selection process will beat them on average, money managers do worse than random on average.
00:46:42.940 So, and the reason for that is because the stock market is actually unpredictable.
00:46:49.020 And the reason for that is that even if you got an edge and you could predict it for like a minute or let's say an hour,
00:46:57.220 someone is going to figure out that you're predicting it and they're going to change their behavior and that'll screw up your prediction model immediately.
00:47:02.880 So the stock market is twisting around and moving.
00:47:06.320 And the reason I'm using it as an example is because it's a good analog of the environment as such.
00:47:11.000 The environment's unpredictable, fundamentally.
00:47:13.680 And you know that.
00:47:14.620 You all know that because you can have a good plan and you can be laying it out and something can come along and broadside you, right?
00:47:22.660 Something you didn't expect.
00:47:23.940 You'll get ill.
00:47:24.680 Your family member will get ill.
00:47:26.460 You know, your boss will turn out to be a psychopath.
00:47:29.380 Someone that you have a relationship with will betray you.
00:47:32.260 Like things are coming up in life or there'll be a radical political event that flips everything upside down or you just have no idea.
00:47:40.660 And so you can't predict the environment perfectly and it's shifting around.
00:47:46.360 And so what that means is you can never tell when the structure that you're using needs to be preserved and when it needs to be updated.
00:47:53.240 It's like, should I preserve this?
00:47:55.060 Should I continue what I'm doing?
00:47:56.740 Or should I change it?
00:47:58.120 It's like, you've been in that agonizing position.
00:48:01.120 When you want to change partners, let's say, when you want to change your educational pathway, when you want to change your career, should I keep doing what I'm doing?
00:48:10.020 Or should I do something new and better?
00:48:12.660 It's like, you don't know?
00:48:14.880 You don't know.
00:48:16.080 So how do you solve the problem?
00:48:17.260 You think.
00:48:20.900 So that's why you have to think.
00:48:23.260 Because you might think, well, why do you have to think?
00:48:25.880 Well, you have to think because what you're already thinking isn't good enough.
00:48:29.580 Because if what you already knew was good enough, you'd never have to think.
00:48:33.180 You could just be who you were and you'd run that out like a clock and everything would work out fine for you.
00:48:38.900 It's like, that doesn't work at all.
00:48:40.160 You're thinking all the time.
00:48:41.540 And what are you thinking about usually?
00:48:43.380 You're usually thinking about problems.
00:48:45.020 And the reason for that is because you have problems.
00:48:48.920 Right.
00:48:49.380 And the reason for that is you can't predict everything.
00:48:51.820 So you've got a problem.
00:48:53.160 Okay.
00:48:53.440 So we've got to think.
00:48:54.820 So then the next question is, how do we think?
00:48:59.760 And the answer to that is, you think badly.
00:49:02.740 And so do you.
00:49:03.440 And so do you.
00:49:04.040 And so do I.
00:49:05.180 And the reason for that is, well, how could you not think badly?
00:49:08.840 First of all, things are way more complicated than you are smart.
00:49:12.880 So that's a massive problem.
00:49:15.780 And you know that, right?
00:49:17.540 It's like, it's obvious, man.
00:49:19.120 And it doesn't really matter how smart you are.
00:49:21.040 You still have that problem.
00:49:22.560 But it's worse, too, because you're biased, partly by your temperament, partly by your blindness,
00:49:28.920 partly by your malevolence, partly by your stupidity, partly by your ignorance.
00:49:33.220 Like, you've got major cognitive problems, man.
00:49:36.380 Like, they just stack up, right?
00:49:38.640 So even if you can't.
00:49:40.920 And this is also assuming that you know how to think.
00:49:44.320 And you probably don't.
00:49:45.340 Because thinking is actually really hard.
00:49:47.120 So to think something through, it's very rare to see someone who can do this.
00:49:52.020 If you have a complex problem and you want to think it through, you have to really define
00:49:58.740 what the problem is.
00:49:59.780 And so that might mean you have to define it six or seven ways.
00:50:02.980 And those ways will contradict one another.
00:50:05.340 Having one opinion about some complex thing that you're trying to think through isn't thinking
00:50:09.420 at all.
00:50:10.320 It's just the application of your assumptions.
00:50:12.940 To think, you have to take six different stances on the same thing.
00:50:18.140 And then you have to have a fight between those, and you have to do that internally.
00:50:21.920 And man, it takes a long time to train someone to do that.
00:50:25.460 And even if you do train them, they can usually only do it within the domain that they're trained
00:50:30.380 in.
00:50:31.140 And most people aren't trained to do that, and so most of us can't think.
00:50:37.580 So, not by ourselves.
00:50:39.500 That's the crucial issue.
00:50:40.760 Not by ourselves.
00:50:42.940 So, then the question is, well, then how do we think?
00:50:45.980 And the answer to that is, by talking.
00:50:49.740 And that's what made me a free speech advocate.
00:50:52.900 You see, because that's how we think.
00:50:56.440 So, you know...
00:50:57.720 Okay, so you can think about this technically first.
00:51:07.280 Like, I know you can think in images, and some people do, but a lot of the way we do
00:51:12.920 we think is in words.
00:51:14.680 We think, well, how did we learn the words?
00:51:17.020 Well, obviously, by speaking.
00:51:19.960 Right?
00:51:20.220 And you don't just sit in your crib and babble to yourself.
00:51:24.140 You learn language by communicating with other people.
00:51:26.500 So, what that means is the very tools that you use to think, if you're just thinking, are
00:51:32.800 still social, right?
00:51:34.040 Because they're derived from social interaction.
00:51:37.520 So, the tools that you use to think, even as an individual, are social tools.
00:51:42.680 So, even when you're thinking that you think by yourself, you're not.
00:51:47.920 But even more to the point, look, if you have a family, a family is a thinking unit.
00:51:56.760 Okay, so how?
00:51:58.140 Well, you're always talking to each other.
00:52:00.740 Now, verbally and non-verbally.
00:52:02.920 And you're jostling.
00:52:04.640 Right?
00:52:04.820 So, you imagine that the family is, it's like a group of sailors that are trying to
00:52:09.160 figure out how to determine how the ship is going to progress across the stormy seas.
00:52:15.360 Right?
00:52:15.720 And everyone is talking to each other to determine how the navigation is going to go.
00:52:21.500 And the talking's intense.
00:52:23.140 Some of it's just the sharing of ideas.
00:52:24.980 But a lot of it's arguing and fighting.
00:52:26.840 It's like, I want to do this.
00:52:27.960 No, I want to do this.
00:52:28.880 No, I want to do this.
00:52:29.820 Like, it's contentious.
00:52:31.540 You know, and maybe you're not so good at it and one person's voice always dominates
00:52:35.480 and it's a bit of a tyranny, which is a bad idea.
00:52:38.060 It's not a good long-term stable solution for your family.
00:52:41.440 So, what happens is that everybody voices their opinion, if it's working out.
00:52:47.440 And as a consequence of voicing those diverse opinions, then you come to some sort of consensus
00:52:53.660 and you assume that the consensus is a better arrangement than anything you might have come up with
00:52:58.960 on your own.
00:52:59.820 Better because, well, because more people had input.
00:53:03.680 Right?
00:53:03.940 So, that's good because they can take you away from your biases.
00:53:07.280 Right?
00:53:07.600 So, you want to have people around you who aren't the same as you in case your stupid bias doesn't
00:53:12.160 work in this situation.
00:53:13.480 Because there's places where your bias is going to work, but there's places where it's not
00:53:16.940 going to work at all.
00:53:18.240 So, like, if you're the entrepreneurial type and you have to make conscientious, dutiful,
00:53:22.720 and orderly decisions, you're not the person to be thinking about those.
00:53:26.560 You need someone that you don't even want to talk to to help you with that.
00:53:30.580 So, you put together a family unit, say, and everybody's communicating, and hopefully what
00:53:37.920 comes out of that communication, if it's truthful communication, and everyone is engaged in
00:53:44.020 it with an eye to making things better, let's say, what emerges out of that is a pathway that's
00:53:50.120 better than any of the pathways that any of the individuals would have come up with had
00:53:53.620 they been on their own.
00:53:54.820 And that's kind of self-evident, because why the hell would you have a family otherwise?
00:53:59.660 Like, if it's a worse solution than being alone, then why bother with it?
00:54:04.220 So, and it isn't.
00:54:05.260 I mean, and the data on that are pretty clear.
00:54:07.620 You know, it's, for example, people who are in long-term relationships do better, generally
00:54:13.460 speaking, than people who are single.
00:54:14.880 Now, that's partly because the people who are single, some of the people who are single,
00:54:18.980 are sick in many ways, and that's making it difficult for them to find a partner.
00:54:23.640 So, you know, it's a two-way issue, but it still does seem better for people to be in
00:54:28.340 a relationship, which is kind of why most of us are searching for a relationship, right?
00:54:33.760 And usually it's medium to long-term relationship.
00:54:37.100 And then you see in that dyadic interaction, the same thing.
00:54:41.320 So, I'll tell you a little story.
00:54:42.760 This is a very cool idea.
00:54:44.040 I'll go lateral here for a minute and deeper, because I want to show you how some of this has
00:54:48.740 a metaphorical underpinning as well, because I'm trying to also make the case that the
00:54:55.260 truth that you express in speech is the thinking that redeems pathological structures and it
00:55:01.600 stretches us farther into the unknown.
00:55:03.500 It's a really, really important, I would say, that's actually, that idea has been encapsulated
00:55:08.620 in our deepest stories.
00:55:10.940 So, let me give you an example.
00:55:12.300 In ways we don't even understand, it's encapsulated so deeply that we don't even know we've done
00:55:17.560 it.
00:55:18.360 And so, and the stories that I'm thinking about are at the base of our culture, because
00:55:21.800 our culture is predicated on the idea that you're actually a locus of invaluable communicative
00:55:27.980 capacity.
00:55:29.080 And that's why you, that's why, that's why our society is grounded in respect for your
00:55:35.000 sovereignty as an individual.
00:55:36.760 It's a very, very deep fundamental idea.
00:55:39.460 I had this friend who went to Sweden to get married.
00:55:42.160 And in the marriage ceremony, it was a Christian marriage ceremony, the bride and the groom
00:55:47.720 had to hold a candle above both of them, right, while they were taking their vows.
00:55:53.220 You think, okay, well, what the hell's going on there exactly?
00:55:56.380 So, it's a dramatic ritual, right?
00:55:58.660 It's like a play in some sense.
00:56:01.720 It's even like the things that kids do when they're pretending.
00:56:04.960 It's a play.
00:56:05.560 Well, what does the candle represent?
00:56:06.760 Well, it represents the same thing that the candle represents if you put it on a Christmas
00:56:10.700 tree.
00:56:11.640 Now, you have a Christmas tree at the darkest time of the year, right?
00:56:14.920 Because that's around December 21st.
00:56:17.020 And so, the light needs to come back at the darkest possible time.
00:56:20.940 And so, the tree signifies, the tree with the lights on it, that's what it signifies.
00:56:24.680 It signifies the re-emergence of illumination in the darkness.
00:56:27.900 And illumination is associated with light.
00:56:30.340 And so, the light is the candle.
00:56:31.640 And the candle is the thing that you hold above both people in a marital relationship as the
00:56:38.420 value to which they both bow.
00:56:40.360 Because you might say, well, who's subordinate to who in a marriage?
00:56:43.760 You can have a big fight about that.
00:56:45.100 Well, if it's a patriarchal marriage, then the man's in control.
00:56:48.300 And if it's a matriarchal situation, then the woman's in control.
00:56:51.220 But someone has to be in control, or something has to be in control.
00:56:54.300 It's like, no, not necessarily.
00:56:57.580 It could be a process that you're both engaged in, that you're both subordinate to.
00:57:05.180 And that's what that ceremony represents.
00:57:08.700 It's the idea is, no, no, you're both subordinate to the principle of illumination.
00:57:13.100 It's like, yes, that's what you want to be subordinate to.
00:57:15.900 That's for sure.
00:57:16.620 So, it isn't that I have to abide by what you want.
00:57:20.940 And it's not that you have to abide by what I want.
00:57:24.100 It's that both of us should be oriented towards the future, the positive future.
00:57:29.600 And then both of us should be telling the truth.
00:57:32.420 And then that'll produce a kind of dialogue.
00:57:34.840 And we're both going to abide by the consequence of that dialogue.
00:57:38.660 So, we're subordinate to this higher order principle of illumination.
00:57:42.320 Now, because I said already this was a Christian ceremony,
00:57:45.620 the illuminated candle was assimilated to the idea of Christ.
00:57:49.480 And so, the notion there, and this is an extraordinary old notion.
00:57:52.240 It's the notion of the sacrality of marriage.
00:57:55.980 And so, the idea there is that the principle of illumination
00:57:59.800 is what unites a man and woman in a proper relationship.
00:58:03.640 And so, and the principle of illumination is associated symbolically with the idea of Christ.
00:58:09.200 And so, then the question is, well, then this is where this gets insanely complicated.
00:58:13.980 It's very, very difficult to lay out.
00:58:15.420 So, then what is that superordinate principle as it's encapsulated in that symbolic structure?
00:58:22.560 Okay.
00:58:22.860 So, it's not illumination as a mere verbal abstraction.
00:58:29.420 Okay.
00:58:29.700 So, it's not just something that's abstract.
00:58:31.980 It's something that you have to act out.
00:58:33.800 So, it's not only that we've formulated this relationship that puts us both,
00:58:40.020 what, it subordinates us both to the truth.
00:58:42.620 It isn't that we're only supposed to speak and think the truth.
00:58:46.400 It's that we're supposed to act it out.
00:58:48.640 And so, that's the idea that the word should be made flesh.
00:58:52.660 That's what that idea means, that it has to be acted out.
00:58:55.520 And so, the symbolic reference for Christ in the Christian system that, at least in part,
00:59:02.660 underlies our culture is the idea that the truth needs to be embodied in action.
00:59:08.720 Embodied in action.
00:59:10.100 That's right.
00:59:10.680 And that's what you're supposed to be subordinate to.
00:59:13.500 And that's the principle that revitalizes and unifies.
00:59:18.960 So, that's that.
00:59:19.620 So, that's that set of ideas.
00:59:21.800 Okay, so now, back to the idea of free speech.
00:59:27.920 So, the reason that free speech is an inviolable responsibility,
00:59:37.060 we always think about it as a right.
00:59:39.420 It's like, it's not the right way to think about it.
00:59:41.260 It's actually a responsibility.
00:59:42.920 You have the right to free speech because we need you to speak properly.
00:59:46.800 Because if you don't speak properly, then you can't set the world right.
00:59:50.060 And we lose your perspective, and that's a very bad thing.
00:59:53.300 And so, you have the right to free speech so that you can adopt the responsibility to speak freely and truly
00:59:58.080 so that you can set things in order and we can hear what you have to say.
01:00:01.120 And that's really how it's laid out.
01:00:02.940 So, and the reason that we need free speech is because it's through free speech that we think,
01:00:10.840 because we can't think on our own.
01:00:12.180 And we need to think because we can't update our traditions and our structures
01:00:16.360 and we can't transform ourselves when we're necessary unless we can think.
01:00:21.780 And so, that means that unless we have free speech,
01:00:24.940 then the process by which we stop our structures from degenerating,
01:00:29.500 and we don't want them to degenerate.
01:00:32.620 It's a bad thing, right?
01:00:34.600 Because they can rigidify and become tyrannical,
01:00:37.520 and God, that's horrible,
01:00:38.800 or they can dissolve and disappear,
01:00:41.180 in which case, what have you got?
01:00:42.980 You've got nothing.
01:00:43.720 You've got nihilism.
01:00:44.800 You've got hopelessness.
01:00:45.880 You've got aimlessness.
01:00:47.560 You've got the suffering of life, but no purpose.
01:00:50.520 Well, that's no good.
01:00:51.540 No one can live.
01:00:52.160 We can't live with those two extremes.
01:00:54.400 We can't live in the tyrannical extreme
01:00:56.260 when it's everything is structure,
01:00:58.680 and nothing gets too updated.
01:01:00.000 It gets old and dead and kills everything.
01:01:03.040 And we can't live with the dissolution of structure either,
01:01:05.480 because then we have nothing.
01:01:06.580 And so we have to keep the structure alive.
01:01:09.800 And the way we keep the structure alive
01:01:11.500 is by talking about it.
01:01:13.640 But we have to talk about it properly.
01:01:15.340 We have to talk about it like civilized,
01:01:18.440 intelligent, committed citizens
01:01:21.460 who take the responsibility
01:01:23.620 that goes along with individual sovereignty
01:01:26.100 as if it's the most important thing there is.
01:01:29.460 Because it is.
01:01:30.500 And so maybe that's why it's so good
01:01:40.700 that we're engaging in this sort of dialogue
01:01:42.380 and that the forum for that has started to expand.
01:01:46.460 Because, you know, right now,
01:01:47.920 there's any amount of political pathology
01:01:51.220 tormenting our culture, I would say,
01:01:53.560 both on the left and on the right.
01:01:54.940 And it's destabilizing us.
01:01:56.280 And, you know, the left pathology
01:01:58.100 tilts towards chaos and nihilism.
01:02:00.220 And the right pathology
01:02:02.180 tilts towards tyrannical order.
01:02:04.880 And we've had experiences of those
01:02:07.600 recently enough, we might think,
01:02:10.040 let's say throughout the 20th century,
01:02:11.760 so that we might have learned our lesson
01:02:13.780 and figured out that if we could negotiate
01:02:16.000 between those two extremes,
01:02:17.940 wouldn't that be much better for everyone?
01:02:20.140 And then, of course, the question there is,
01:02:23.820 do you want things to be much better for everyone?
01:02:27.360 You know, and you might think,
01:02:28.260 well, obviously the answer to that is yes.
01:02:30.460 It's like, it's not so obvious, right?
01:02:32.600 You know perfectly well,
01:02:33.940 if you sit on the edge of your bed
01:02:35.820 and you have a little meditative,
01:02:38.100 what, discourse with yourself,
01:02:39.920 discussion with yourself,
01:02:40.860 that your motivations are far from pure.
01:02:43.200 And the probability is that some of the time
01:02:45.600 that you're aiming down and not up
01:02:47.220 for whatever purposes you might have,
01:02:49.220 revenge or anger or hostility or trauma
01:02:52.220 or resentment or whatever it is,
01:02:54.940 whatever chip you're carrying on your shoulder,
01:02:57.380 whatever way you feel victimized
01:02:59.400 by your unfortunate circumstances.
01:03:01.700 And they are unfortunate, right?
01:03:03.760 Let's make no mistake about that.
01:03:05.920 You know, when people consider themselves victimized,
01:03:08.500 it's often because, well,
01:03:10.480 life is extraordinarily difficult
01:03:12.020 and tragedy strikes everyone
01:03:14.140 and we're often betrayed
01:03:15.700 and we're subject to malevolence
01:03:17.360 and it's no bloody wonder
01:03:18.300 that we wander around with chips on our shoulder,
01:03:20.320 but it isn't helpful at all.
01:03:22.900 And so that's why the rule in 12 rules for life
01:03:26.640 is, well, twofold.
01:03:28.840 It's to stand up straight with your shoulders back
01:03:31.640 because that is an injunction
01:03:33.800 to adopting a certain, what would you say,
01:03:37.160 physical stance towards the world
01:03:38.800 that at least in principle
01:03:40.900 can undergird this psychological stance
01:03:43.660 that I described.
01:03:44.480 It's like, well, you have to be willing
01:03:46.320 to take the whole force of the world
01:03:47.960 onto yourself in some sense
01:03:49.800 and it's a catastrophe.
01:03:52.200 But if you don't take it on,
01:03:53.800 then you can't solve the damn problem.
01:03:55.800 And you don't do that by crouching and hiding
01:03:57.860 and you don't do that by adopting
01:03:59.320 an aggressive stance.
01:04:00.900 Like, there are times when those things are useful,
01:04:03.060 but fundamentally that's not it.
01:04:05.220 Fundamentally, you open yourself up to the world, right?
01:04:07.420 And that's what this stance is,
01:04:09.420 is to put your shoulders back
01:04:10.720 because it's to expose yourself in some sense
01:04:14.680 to the full force of the world.
01:04:16.660 You know, and the chapter's been criticized
01:04:18.000 because I made a case for hierarchies, I said,
01:04:21.040 which is a classic conservative case.
01:04:23.260 And although I wasn't trying to say
01:04:25.060 that hierarchies are immutable
01:04:27.460 or appropriate in their current form
01:04:30.880 or anything like that,
01:04:31.820 that's complete misreading of,
01:04:33.500 an absolute misreading
01:04:34.600 of what I was trying to put forward.
01:04:36.040 I was trying to put forward the proposition
01:04:37.740 that you have to have structure.
01:04:41.900 You can't interact with the world without structure.
01:04:45.160 It's not possible.
01:04:46.920 This is actually the argument.
01:04:49.260 The argument that I ended up having with Sam Harris
01:04:52.080 was really about something like this.
01:04:53.780 It's like, we have to have structure.
01:04:56.020 What does the structure look like?
01:04:57.980 Well, we're still debating that.
01:05:02.440 But there are ways to solve that.
01:05:05.320 And I addressed some of them in 12 Rules for Life.
01:05:07.420 You have to have structure,
01:05:08.380 but structure tilts towards tyranny.
01:05:11.100 And so that's the right-wing conundrum.
01:05:13.480 You need structure, but it tilts towards tyranny.
01:05:16.120 And the left-wing conundrum is,
01:05:17.540 well, if you have structure,
01:05:18.620 then it produces all sorts of negative consequences.
01:05:21.800 So hierarchical structures, for example,
01:05:24.520 emerge when you're trying to pursue something
01:05:26.360 that's valuable, which you need to do.
01:05:28.900 You pursue something that's valuable,
01:05:30.480 and it turns out that some people
01:05:31.760 are better at that than others,
01:05:32.940 whatever the valuable thing is.
01:05:34.540 So you get inequality.
01:05:36.100 As soon as you pursue something of value
01:05:37.660 in a social circumstance, you get inequality.
01:05:40.140 Because some people are better at it than others.
01:05:42.480 You know that.
01:05:43.780 Plumbers.
01:05:44.420 Some plumbers are better at being plumbers
01:05:46.040 than other plumbers.
01:05:47.200 And all plumbers are better at being plumbers
01:05:49.220 than people who aren't plumbers.
01:05:50.560 So you've got that inequality built right in.
01:05:53.860 It's a major inequality.
01:05:54.940 If you have a skill,
01:05:57.200 then you produce inequality in the world.
01:06:00.200 It's like, well, what are you going to do?
01:06:01.200 Get rid of all the skills?
01:06:02.900 That's not going to be helpful.
01:06:04.540 So the necessary consequence
01:06:07.400 of developing specialized skill
01:06:09.820 is the generation of inequality.
01:06:12.500 And so if you're going to benefit
01:06:14.380 from the fact that people have skills,
01:06:16.920 you're going to have to accept the damn inequality.
01:06:20.580 Okay, and so that's what the right-wingers
01:06:22.000 are always on about.
01:06:22.800 It's like, you have to accept the damn inequality
01:06:25.100 if you're going to benefit from the skill.
01:06:27.860 And fair enough.
01:06:29.440 But the left-wingers say,
01:06:30.620 yeah, but there's something important
01:06:32.180 that you're forgetting here,
01:06:33.240 which is that if you produce a hierarchy,
01:06:36.400 even if it's skill-based,
01:06:38.140 then most people aren't going to benefit
01:06:40.760 from that hierarchy.
01:06:42.500 The benefits are going to go
01:06:43.620 to a small percentage of people at the top.
01:06:46.240 Or they're going to go disproportionately
01:06:47.520 to a small number of people at the top.
01:06:49.460 And that's also the case.
01:06:51.020 So another part of the political dialogue
01:06:53.180 that has to be continually active is,
01:06:55.620 okay, how much inequality can we tolerate
01:06:59.620 to benefit from the differential in skill?
01:07:03.000 And the answer to that is the same answer
01:07:05.000 as the answer to the problem
01:07:07.280 of structure versus transformation.
01:07:09.560 It's like, there is no answer.
01:07:11.840 You have to debate it all the time.
01:07:14.180 It's like, so the people who are on the side
01:07:15.700 of the structure have to say,
01:07:17.280 well, here's all the benefits to the structure.
01:07:18.860 It's worth paying a cost for.
01:07:21.580 And the cost is the dispossession
01:07:23.180 of the people who stack up at the bottom.
01:07:25.220 And the left says, don't go too far with that
01:07:27.940 because if your structure gets too steep
01:07:29.860 and too rigid, then the whole thing will collapse.
01:07:32.220 It's like, yes.
01:07:33.580 So how do we mediate between those two catastrophes?
01:07:36.960 And the answer is, we talk to each other
01:07:39.000 and we think.
01:07:40.600 And so the political landscape looks like
01:07:42.660 it's set up to do two things.
01:07:44.420 One is to help us determine what parts of the structure
01:07:48.000 we can maintain and move forward with
01:07:51.000 and what parts we have to transform.
01:07:52.960 That's an active dialogue.
01:07:54.800 And then the other part is to determine
01:07:56.500 if we've got the hierarchies adjusted
01:07:58.860 such that we're maximally benefiting from the skill
01:08:02.260 but minimally dispossessing people.
01:08:06.300 And part of the problem is,
01:08:08.440 is because you bring your biases to the damn argument
01:08:10.960 and you can't help it,
01:08:11.920 is that if you're a conservative type,
01:08:13.700 you're going to think,
01:08:14.480 well, if the conservatives would just win the argument
01:08:16.360 once and for all,
01:08:17.840 then we wouldn't have a problem.
01:08:19.580 And the liberals think,
01:08:20.680 if those damn conservatives would just go away
01:08:22.840 and the liberals could arrange the world,
01:08:25.760 you know, we'd have the utopia tomorrow.
01:08:27.920 And the problem with that is, we wouldn't.
01:08:30.760 And the reason for that is,
01:08:32.440 well, as soon as you generate up your utopia,
01:08:34.740 whatever it is, it turns into a structure
01:08:36.440 and then it has the same problems
01:08:38.360 as all the other structures I've ever had.
01:08:40.480 And so, and there's no,
01:08:41.780 you know, one of the things I outlined,
01:08:43.440 I have this book that you might be interested in.
01:08:45.820 If you like 12 Rules for Life,
01:08:47.860 you might be interested in the other book I wrote,
01:08:50.500 which was called Maps of Meaning.
01:08:51.780 And I've done a bunch of lectures
01:08:52.920 about Maps of Meaning online.
01:08:55.320 And I just released the audio version of that
01:08:57.920 on June 12th.
01:08:59.260 And it's, I think,
01:09:00.920 if you're going to tackle that book,
01:09:02.360 it's better to tackle the audio version
01:09:03.900 because it's a really, really hard book.
01:09:06.140 It just about killed me to write it.
01:09:07.680 And so, it'll probably just about kill you to read it.
01:09:10.780 So, it was sort of actually designed for that purpose,
01:09:14.540 by the way.
01:09:17.140 It's not so funny.
01:09:18.280 It's actually true.
01:09:20.440 So, but the audio version, I think,
01:09:21.980 makes it much clearer.
01:09:22.860 But what I was trying to outline in that book
01:09:25.840 was the, what would you say,
01:09:31.860 the fact that this set of problems
01:09:35.020 that I just laid out for you,
01:09:36.600 although I didn't describe it in quite this way,
01:09:38.860 has, it's a permanent problem.
01:09:40.820 It will never go away.
01:09:42.080 And one of the ways I did that
01:09:43.340 was I looked at the ancient Egyptian cosmology.
01:09:47.060 So, the Egyptians had sets of gods.
01:09:49.600 And they actually had gods
01:09:50.660 that represented these processes.
01:09:52.320 So, one of their gods was Osiris.
01:09:54.560 And he was the god of tradition.
01:09:56.880 And Osiris had a problem.
01:09:59.000 This is a problem you're all familiar with
01:10:00.580 because you've seen it in movies.
01:10:02.140 So, Osiris was the once great king
01:10:05.020 who had an evil advisor.
01:10:07.580 It was his brother.
01:10:08.740 So, that was the Egyptian setup.
01:10:10.340 Just like the setup in The Lion King.
01:10:12.640 It's exactly the same thing
01:10:13.800 with Mufasa and Scar.
01:10:15.560 And it's the same story, fundamentally.
01:10:19.280 And so, what the Egyptians had figured out
01:10:20.980 4,000 years ago
01:10:23.000 was that every structure,
01:10:25.020 so every king,
01:10:26.880 tended towards malevolence.
01:10:28.640 That was its evil brother.
01:10:30.240 And that the malevolence
01:10:32.300 would undermine it at some point
01:10:34.040 because that's what happens
01:10:34.860 in the Egyptian cosmology
01:10:36.040 is the god Seth.
01:10:40.260 Osiris is the god of structure.
01:10:41.660 There's a god named Seth
01:10:42.660 who's the evil brother of Osiris.
01:10:45.720 His name turns into Satan over time.
01:10:48.720 So, it starts as Seth.
01:10:49.860 It's Seth.
01:10:50.420 And then it's turned into Satan.
01:10:51.680 So, that's kind of where
01:10:52.360 that idea comes from.
01:10:53.460 It's absolutely fascinating.
01:10:55.540 Seth waits for Osiris
01:10:57.140 to have a weak moment.
01:10:58.500 And he cuts him up into pieces
01:11:00.580 and distributes him
01:11:01.720 across the kingdom.
01:11:02.540 So, things fall apart.
01:11:04.580 That's what the Egyptians
01:11:05.500 figured out.
01:11:06.420 Things fall apart.
01:11:07.780 And they do that
01:11:08.340 of their own accord.
01:11:09.160 But we speed them along
01:11:10.940 by being malevolent.
01:11:12.880 That's brilliant.
01:11:14.040 It's absolutely brilliant.
01:11:15.240 And so, that's what happens
01:11:16.180 in the Egyptian story.
01:11:18.120 And things fall apart.
01:11:19.740 And then the goddess
01:11:21.020 of chaos emerges.
01:11:22.320 That's Isis.
01:11:23.020 And she makes herself pregnant
01:11:25.420 with the phallus of Osiris.
01:11:27.360 So, he's broken up across
01:11:28.860 and spread out across the country.
01:11:30.480 Things fall apart.
01:11:31.520 But that's potential, right?
01:11:32.860 When things fall apart,
01:11:33.740 there's new potential.
01:11:35.040 It emerges out of the chaos.
01:11:36.400 That's Isis.
01:11:37.380 Isis gives birth to a new god.
01:11:39.620 Horus.
01:11:40.380 And you all know about Horus
01:11:41.620 because Horus is the Egyptian eye.
01:11:43.960 Right?
01:11:44.140 Everyone knows that symbol.
01:11:45.340 Still, interestingly enough.
01:11:47.160 So, the Egyptians figured out.
01:11:48.460 This is so cool.
01:11:49.760 I've never recovered
01:11:50.940 from figuring this out.
01:11:52.760 It's what they discovered
01:11:54.100 was so absolutely,
01:11:55.960 unbelievably remarkable
01:11:57.380 that, well,
01:11:58.840 that it produced a whole religion
01:11:59.940 and a whole culture
01:12:00.760 that lasted thousands of years, right?
01:12:02.500 Because that's what happened in Egypt.
01:12:04.320 And Horus is the eye.
01:12:07.280 Now, what's the eye?
01:12:08.700 The eye is paying attention.
01:12:11.500 So, the gods figured,
01:12:12.740 the Egyptians figured out
01:12:13.980 that when things fell apart
01:12:16.020 as a consequence of malevolence
01:12:17.540 and everything fell into chaos,
01:12:19.180 the right thing to worship
01:12:20.480 was the ability to pay attention.
01:12:23.060 So, and that's not the same thing
01:12:24.460 as the ability to think.
01:12:26.480 It's different.
01:12:27.780 The ability to pay attention
01:12:28.840 is before thinking.
01:12:30.480 And the ability to pay attention is,
01:12:31.940 oh, something's gone wrong here.
01:12:34.960 I'm in a state of chaos.
01:12:36.400 My marriage is falling apart.
01:12:37.720 Or we've had a bad fight, let's say.
01:12:39.960 And I don't know what's going on.
01:12:41.760 How am I going to figure out
01:12:42.860 what's going on?
01:12:43.960 How about if I pay attention?
01:12:46.660 Right?
01:12:46.900 And so, and you think,
01:12:47.720 well, what do you have to do
01:12:48.460 to pay attention?
01:12:49.220 You have to think,
01:12:50.440 well, the reason we're having a fight
01:12:51.560 isn't because my wife
01:12:52.540 is an ignorant bitch.
01:12:53.820 Although that's a very,
01:12:54.900 well, what the hell
01:12:56.260 are you going to think
01:12:56.860 to begin with, right?
01:12:57.780 You're going to think,
01:12:58.280 I'm right.
01:12:59.600 I'm right.
01:13:00.540 And she's wrong.
01:13:01.660 Because that's bloody convenient.
01:13:02.960 Because if she's wrong,
01:13:03.860 then she gets to change.
01:13:05.780 And you can just stay the same.
01:13:07.260 That's right.
01:13:08.100 Exactly.
01:13:08.640 And you don't want to change
01:13:09.940 because you know,
01:13:11.460 if you're going to change
01:13:12.580 something that you like doing,
01:13:15.360 you're going to have to stop doing.
01:13:16.700 That'll be the first thing.
01:13:18.340 And so, and then,
01:13:19.720 and it won't be the last.
01:13:20.800 You'll have to figure out
01:13:21.480 why you're stupid and wrong.
01:13:23.060 That's annoying.
01:13:24.240 And then you'll have to rectify that.
01:13:25.960 And then you'll have to tell her
01:13:27.020 how you rectify it.
01:13:28.120 It's like, God,
01:13:28.880 that's so annoying.
01:13:29.780 It's easier for her
01:13:31.360 to be a stupid bitch.
01:13:32.960 But then, definitely.
01:13:35.420 But then you have a problem.
01:13:38.260 And the problem is
01:13:39.180 you have to live
01:13:39.780 with a stupid bitch.
01:13:43.060 Yeah.
01:13:45.420 Yeah.
01:13:45.860 And so one of the things,
01:13:46.860 one of the things
01:13:47.680 you might ask yourself
01:13:48.720 is that if you do live
01:13:50.260 with a stupid bitch,
01:13:51.920 then perhaps you deserve that.
01:13:54.420 And not only that,
01:13:56.060 not only that,
01:13:57.300 perhaps you had a major hand
01:13:58.980 in creating it.
01:14:01.020 So, well,
01:14:02.160 it's worth thinking about.
01:14:03.460 It's worth,
01:14:03.980 although who wants
01:14:04.640 to think about that, man?
01:14:05.920 Nobody.
01:14:06.800 Nobody wants to think about that.
01:14:11.040 So, so anyway,
01:14:12.580 so what, what happens,
01:14:13.820 so what happens is
01:14:14.900 Isis makes herself pregnant
01:14:17.020 and she, she, she, she,
01:14:18.540 she goes to the underworld.
01:14:20.220 She goes to the underworld
01:14:21.000 and she gives birth to Horus.
01:14:22.920 And Horus is a bunch of things.
01:14:24.420 So he's the eye, first of all,
01:14:25.680 but he's also a falcon.
01:14:27.560 So, and that's a really interesting,
01:14:28.760 you remember the Lion King again?
01:14:30.980 So, because it's a good way
01:14:32.000 of making sense of the story.
01:14:33.040 You know how the King Mufasa
01:14:34.140 had that bird?
01:14:35.920 I don't remember his name.
01:14:38.000 Zazu, that's him, that's him.
01:14:39.420 Yeah.
01:14:39.720 And he was the eye of the king.
01:14:41.120 And so what did Zazu do?
01:14:42.220 He went above everything,
01:14:44.300 flew above everything
01:14:45.060 and he watched everything.
01:14:46.260 So he was the eye of the king.
01:14:48.240 And so the Egyptians knew
01:14:49.920 that Horus was the god of attention
01:14:51.860 and so Horus was a falcon.
01:14:53.300 And the reason that Horus was a falcon
01:14:54.620 is because falcons can see
01:14:56.000 better than any other animal.
01:14:58.080 They're the only creatures on the planet
01:14:59.500 that can see better than human beings.
01:15:01.300 Birds of prey.
01:15:01.840 So, so that's why they used
01:15:04.160 the falcon as a symbol
01:15:05.540 of paying attention.
01:15:07.780 Now, so Horus grew up
01:15:09.500 and he was different than Osiris.
01:15:10.960 Osiris was the god of tradition.
01:15:12.720 Blind.
01:15:13.400 Willfully blind.
01:15:14.520 Couldn't pay attention
01:15:15.260 to his evil brother.
01:15:16.220 He didn't notice
01:15:17.300 that he was being threatened.
01:15:18.740 Could have, but didn't.
01:15:20.120 Was willfully blind.
01:15:21.340 And so he was overthrown
01:15:22.400 by the forces of malevolence.
01:15:24.140 Permanent problem in human history.
01:15:26.120 Horus was born
01:15:26.960 and he's alert attention.
01:15:29.160 He can see.
01:15:30.580 But now he has a problem.
01:15:32.400 What do you see when you can see?
01:15:35.020 And the answer to that is
01:15:36.160 you see what you don't want to see.
01:15:39.400 Right?
01:15:39.720 Because, you know,
01:15:41.660 it's easy to see what you want to see.
01:15:43.420 It doesn't take any real vision
01:15:44.700 to see what you want to see.
01:15:46.820 To see what you don't want to see,
01:15:48.360 that's a whole different story.
01:15:49.560 And that's the thing about Horus
01:15:50.780 is he could see
01:15:51.460 what he didn't want to see.
01:15:52.820 And what he really didn't want to see
01:15:54.600 was the nature of his evil uncle.
01:15:57.200 And so he goes back to his kingdom.
01:15:59.340 Same story as the Lion King again,
01:16:01.240 by the way.
01:16:01.740 He goes back to his kingdom
01:16:02.900 and has a battle with his evil uncle
01:16:04.440 to regain his kingdom.
01:16:06.020 Which basically means
01:16:07.040 that if you're going to pay attention,
01:16:08.700 that's what you're going to do.
01:16:10.920 Is you're going to encounter the,
01:16:12.860 what would you say,
01:16:13.660 the permanence of malevolence
01:16:15.460 and ignorance.
01:16:16.420 You're going to encounter that.
01:16:17.960 And you're going to see it.
01:16:19.680 And so Horus goes back
01:16:20.960 and has a fight with Seth.
01:16:22.620 And while they're fighting,
01:16:23.820 Seth tears out one of his eyes.
01:16:25.580 And there's a warning there too,
01:16:27.140 which is that
01:16:27.720 if you're going to see,
01:16:30.560 you're going to pay a price for it.
01:16:32.820 And the price might be so high
01:16:34.220 that it actually damages
01:16:35.520 your ability to see.
01:16:37.620 So, and which is partly
01:16:39.120 why people don't want to see.
01:16:40.400 And it's no bloody wonder
01:16:41.360 because there are things
01:16:42.880 that you can see
01:16:44.040 that you do not want to see.
01:16:45.640 And they're the things
01:16:46.420 that really bring us down.
01:16:48.500 They're the things
01:16:49.020 that really do us in.
01:16:50.520 And not only the things
01:16:51.360 that other people are doing,
01:16:52.840 tyrannical people,
01:16:53.840 people who commit atrocities,
01:16:55.240 murderers,
01:16:55.820 that sort of people,
01:16:56.600 but all the things you do
01:16:58.040 in your own domain,
01:16:59.600 all the parts of you
01:17:00.460 that are malevolent,
01:17:01.320 all the parts of you
01:17:02.140 that aren't sorted out properly,
01:17:03.760 that aren't serving
01:17:04.460 the world properly.
01:17:05.620 You take a good look at that,
01:17:06.800 the probability is very,
01:17:08.060 very high
01:17:08.360 that it will damage your vision.
01:17:10.820 And that's why people
01:17:11.560 don't do it.
01:17:12.720 So anyways,
01:17:13.720 Horus has this terrible battle
01:17:15.100 with Seth
01:17:15.600 and he banishes him
01:17:17.780 to the nether regions
01:17:19.780 of the kingdom.
01:17:20.560 Can't kill him.
01:17:21.820 No getting rid of him
01:17:22.960 because the malevolence
01:17:25.140 and ignorance
01:17:25.540 are a permanent part
01:17:26.480 of existence
01:17:27.300 and there's no permanent solution.
01:17:30.160 The best you can do
01:17:30.940 is banish it temporarily.
01:17:33.260 And he gets his eye back.
01:17:35.460 And so then you might think,
01:17:36.500 well, what does he do?
01:17:37.820 Slaps his eye back
01:17:38.920 in his head and rules.
01:17:41.200 No, that's not what happens.
01:17:42.980 And this is where the Egyptians
01:17:43.960 really surpass themselves
01:17:46.140 in their brilliance.
01:17:47.060 Horus takes his eye
01:17:49.680 and he goes down
01:17:50.460 to the underworld.
01:17:51.320 Again, it's the kingdom
01:17:52.020 of the dead, essentially.
01:17:54.200 And Osiris is down there,
01:17:55.820 his father,
01:17:56.640 but kind of dismembered
01:17:58.060 and ghost-like, you know.
01:18:00.700 And so Horus goes
01:18:02.420 to find his father
01:18:03.460 in the underworld
01:18:04.180 to rescue him
01:18:05.620 from the belly of the whale,
01:18:06.880 let's say,
01:18:07.380 like Pinocchio does
01:18:08.240 in the Pinocchio story.
01:18:09.300 It's the same idea.
01:18:10.640 And when he goes
01:18:11.300 to find Osiris,
01:18:12.480 he gives Osiris his eye
01:18:13.960 and that reanimates him.
01:18:16.800 And so then Osiris and Horus
01:18:18.520 go back out of the underworld,
01:18:20.300 arm in arm,
01:18:21.160 father and son,
01:18:22.740 and it's their union
01:18:24.020 that rules.
01:18:25.540 And so for the Egyptians,
01:18:26.680 the pharaoh,
01:18:27.860 who had sovereignty,
01:18:29.020 was the union
01:18:29.700 of Osiris and Horus,
01:18:31.220 the union of tradition
01:18:32.400 and vision.
01:18:33.620 It's so brilliant.
01:18:35.060 It's so unbelievably brilliant.
01:18:36.720 And they associated that
01:18:38.100 with the immortal soul.
01:18:39.580 That was the Egyptian idea,
01:18:40.900 that the immortal soul
01:18:41.680 was the union
01:18:42.240 of tradition and vision.
01:18:44.100 And so,
01:18:45.560 well,
01:18:45.860 that idea had an immense influence
01:18:47.640 on the development
01:18:48.340 of Judaism
01:18:48.900 and an immense influence
01:18:50.740 on the development
01:18:51.420 of Christianity.
01:18:52.580 And so it's an idea
01:18:53.380 that's way at the bottom
01:18:54.600 of our culture.
01:18:56.540 And there's something
01:18:57.340 unbelievably profound about it,
01:18:58.780 which is that's what
01:18:59.520 you should be,
01:19:00.120 is you should be
01:19:00.600 the union of tradition
01:19:01.580 and vision.
01:19:02.540 But that the price
01:19:03.260 that you pay for that
01:19:04.020 is that you'll pay attention
01:19:04.980 and the price
01:19:05.940 of paying attention
01:19:06.860 is that you will see things
01:19:07.840 that you do not want to see.
01:19:09.960 But the thing is,
01:19:10.680 you can.
01:19:11.680 That's the thing
01:19:12.380 that's so remarkable,
01:19:13.400 is that if you're willing
01:19:14.520 to allow yourself
01:19:15.560 to see the things
01:19:16.460 that you don't want to see,
01:19:17.400 you will discover
01:19:17.980 that you can see them
01:19:19.460 and that you can
01:19:20.320 actually tolerate that.
01:19:21.840 And I would say,
01:19:22.440 we actually don't know
01:19:23.260 a more deep clinical truth
01:19:25.000 than that.
01:19:26.200 So,
01:19:27.140 because I could take this
01:19:27.940 out of the domain
01:19:28.640 of metaphysical speculation,
01:19:30.240 even though it's not
01:19:31.020 precisely necessary
01:19:32.440 to do so.
01:19:33.380 If you're dealing
01:19:34.200 with someone
01:19:34.620 who's very anxious
01:19:35.520 and who's stumped
01:19:37.040 in their life,
01:19:37.560 they can't move forward.
01:19:38.900 They're stopped
01:19:39.560 by their anxiety
01:19:40.460 and their terror.
01:19:41.600 What you do
01:19:42.180 is you break down
01:19:43.060 their terror
01:19:43.680 into manageable pieces.
01:19:45.360 You say,
01:19:45.620 okay,
01:19:45.760 what are you afraid of?
01:19:47.180 Well,
01:19:47.660 maybe I'm agoraphobic.
01:19:50.200 I'm afraid of elevators
01:19:51.140 and death.
01:19:53.960 I know it's a big leap,
01:19:55.480 man,
01:19:55.720 but when an agoraphobic person
01:19:57.660 looks in an elevator,
01:19:58.580 they see a tomb.
01:19:59.580 Like,
01:19:59.980 it's death
01:20:00.520 they're afraid of.
01:20:01.120 They're afraid
01:20:01.480 they'll get trapped
01:20:02.060 in the elevator
01:20:02.660 and they'll have
01:20:03.060 a heart attack
01:20:03.600 and they won't get
01:20:04.140 to a hospital
01:20:04.580 and they'll die.
01:20:05.660 Or worse,
01:20:06.720 they're afraid
01:20:07.240 they'll be trapped
01:20:07.780 in an elevator
01:20:08.360 with a bunch
01:20:08.840 of other people,
01:20:09.800 that they'll have
01:20:10.440 a heart attack
01:20:11.000 and make a fool
01:20:11.960 of themselves
01:20:12.520 so that while
01:20:13.660 they're dying,
01:20:14.220 everyone will be
01:20:14.820 looking at them.
01:20:16.200 Right?
01:20:16.400 So it's social judgment
01:20:17.520 plus mortality
01:20:18.420 all bowled up
01:20:19.240 into one.
01:20:20.280 And so,
01:20:21.020 and really,
01:20:21.720 this is the case.
01:20:22.620 And you can understand
01:20:23.680 that because the two
01:20:24.580 great fears
01:20:25.160 are to be humiliated
01:20:26.340 and to die.
01:20:27.760 And so if you really
01:20:28.760 want to be terrified,
01:20:30.220 you want to be humiliated
01:20:31.400 while you're dying.
01:20:32.980 Right.
01:20:35.240 Right.
01:20:36.040 So,
01:20:36.320 but then what you do
01:20:37.300 with the person
01:20:37.860 who's afraid
01:20:38.720 is that you help them
01:20:40.300 gradually encounter
01:20:42.340 the thing that they're
01:20:43.220 afraid of
01:20:43.780 and what they learn,
01:20:45.140 so you expose them
01:20:46.060 to the elevator,
01:20:46.860 say in bits and pieces.
01:20:48.340 First of all,
01:20:48.820 they stand 10 feet
01:20:49.760 from it
01:20:50.120 and then five feet
01:20:50.940 and then maybe
01:20:51.400 they look inside it
01:20:52.420 and maybe they step
01:20:53.520 inside it
01:20:53.980 while you hold
01:20:54.480 the doors open
01:20:55.240 and then maybe
01:20:55.980 they travel down
01:20:56.740 one floor
01:20:57.400 and they don't get
01:20:58.480 less afraid,
01:21:00.180 they get braver.
01:21:03.120 Right.
01:21:03.600 And this is also
01:21:04.180 what you want
01:21:04.660 for your children.
01:21:05.520 That's rule 11.
01:21:07.580 Don't bother children
01:21:08.640 when they're skateboarding
01:21:09.720 because you don't want
01:21:10.520 them to get less afraid.
01:21:12.220 You want to get them
01:21:12.940 to be braver
01:21:13.940 and you do that
01:21:15.100 by exposing them
01:21:16.220 to things that are
01:21:16.920 beyond them
01:21:17.580 and to encourage them.
01:21:19.200 And that's what you do
01:21:19.920 to people
01:21:20.320 if you want to help
01:21:21.020 them overcome
01:21:21.620 their justifiable
01:21:22.960 terror of existence.
01:21:24.800 You find,
01:21:25.520 well,
01:21:25.620 if you expose people
01:21:26.700 to challenges
01:21:27.360 that are slightly
01:21:28.120 beyond them
01:21:28.780 in a rigorous manner
01:21:30.160 then they get stronger
01:21:31.140 and stronger
01:21:31.940 and stronger
01:21:32.700 and stronger
01:21:33.360 and we have no idea
01:21:34.700 what the upper limit
01:21:35.420 is to that.
01:21:37.060 You can't discover
01:21:38.380 an upper limit
01:21:39.060 to that in a
01:21:39.740 therapeutic session
01:21:40.600 because if you're
01:21:41.180 dealing with someone
01:21:41.860 say over a decade
01:21:42.720 long period.
01:21:43.760 I had a client
01:21:44.540 recently
01:21:45.060 when she first
01:21:46.000 came to see me
01:21:46.740 she was so
01:21:48.320 socially timid
01:21:49.840 that even though
01:21:50.960 I was her therapist
01:21:51.860 we couldn't go
01:21:52.600 into a coffee shop
01:21:53.480 to have a coffee
01:21:54.280 together.
01:21:54.940 That was not possible.
01:21:56.180 And at the end
01:21:57.400 of 10 years
01:21:58.040 and I'm not
01:21:58.500 taking credit
01:21:58.980 for this by the way
01:21:59.700 she did this
01:22:00.300 on her own
01:22:00.780 which is what
01:22:01.220 you have to do
01:22:01.820 if you're successful
01:22:02.580 in psychotherapy.
01:22:03.400 Anyway,
01:22:03.980 she was doing
01:22:04.480 stand-up comedy
01:22:05.580 at clubs.
01:22:06.920 It's like,
01:22:07.580 right man,
01:22:08.240 that's a big difference.
01:22:09.680 That's a big difference.
01:22:11.660 So, and
01:22:11.860 and it's not because
01:22:14.320 she became less
01:22:15.140 afraid of people.
01:22:16.960 It's because she got
01:22:17.860 she discovered
01:22:19.780 more and more
01:22:20.580 about what she was
01:22:21.360 actually capable of
01:22:22.440 despite the fact
01:22:23.360 that she was afraid.
01:22:24.220 and that's way better
01:22:25.720 because good luck
01:22:26.520 getting rid of your terror.
01:22:27.880 That's just not
01:22:28.680 going to happen
01:22:29.240 because there's
01:22:30.240 endless things
01:22:30.920 to be terrified about
01:22:31.880 and they are
01:22:32.400 absolutely real.
01:22:34.180 So, the best
01:22:34.740 you can hope for
01:22:35.420 is courage
01:22:36.020 not a cessation
01:22:37.380 of fear.
01:22:38.840 And so, well,
01:22:39.760 so, well,
01:22:40.900 what's the underlying
01:22:41.760 theme in 12 Rules
01:22:43.440 for Life?
01:22:43.900 Well, I've laid it out
01:22:44.580 to some degree today
01:22:45.480 a discursive talk
01:22:46.680 but, but, but,
01:22:47.680 but nonetheless
01:22:48.280 it's like
01:22:49.500 I suppose
01:22:52.640 the fundamental
01:22:53.340 theme
01:22:53.740 and I think
01:22:54.700 the thing
01:22:55.020 that makes
01:22:55.460 this book
01:22:55.980 different
01:22:56.360 perhaps
01:22:57.800 than what's
01:22:59.480 being pushed
01:23:00.580 forward by
01:23:01.560 perhaps well-meaning
01:23:02.960 psychologists
01:23:03.500 for some of them
01:23:04.620 for a while
01:23:05.460 is that
01:23:05.840 I'm not
01:23:06.700 particularly
01:23:07.460 interested in
01:23:08.360 whether or not
01:23:09.040 people are happy
01:23:09.840 or whether or not
01:23:10.840 they have rights
01:23:11.680 or really anything
01:23:12.760 about even
01:23:14.000 their freedom
01:23:14.580 I suppose.
01:23:15.320 I'm much more
01:23:15.900 concerned about
01:23:16.480 their responsibility.
01:23:18.280 And there's a reason
01:23:19.360 for that
01:23:19.780 two reasons
01:23:20.380 one is
01:23:20.880 unless you
01:23:22.860 shoulder your
01:23:23.300 responsibility
01:23:23.820 things fall apart
01:23:24.860 and that that's
01:23:26.080 actually true
01:23:27.340 you fall apart
01:23:28.400 your family
01:23:29.720 falls apart
01:23:30.360 and your community
01:23:31.460 falls apart
01:23:32.080 and it's way worse
01:23:33.980 that you don't
01:23:34.700 shoulder responsibility
01:23:35.660 than you think
01:23:36.660 because you have
01:23:37.520 a lot more
01:23:37.880 at your disposal
01:23:38.500 than you think
01:23:39.220 for better
01:23:39.860 or for worse
01:23:40.460 you're certainly
01:23:41.660 and you know this
01:23:42.360 because even if
01:23:43.260 you're not so convinced
01:23:44.100 that you could be
01:23:44.740 a powerful force
01:23:45.660 for good
01:23:46.140 you're bloody well
01:23:47.380 convinced that you
01:23:48.080 could be a powerful
01:23:48.760 force for mayhem
01:23:49.840 and you certainly
01:23:50.780 have been
01:23:51.520 in the mistakes
01:23:53.440 that you've made
01:23:53.980 in your life
01:23:54.340 you know how
01:23:54.820 devastating your
01:23:56.240 inaction can be
01:23:57.260 for you and for
01:23:57.940 your family
01:23:58.400 and hypothetically
01:23:59.500 for the community
01:24:00.240 and so if you're
01:24:01.280 that much of a force
01:24:02.160 for catastrophe
01:24:03.100 it's conceivable
01:24:04.240 that if you got
01:24:04.900 your act together
01:24:05.560 you'd be that much
01:24:06.400 of a force
01:24:07.020 for the opposite
01:24:07.680 and I do really
01:24:08.820 believe this is the
01:24:09.660 case
01:24:09.940 I think the individual
01:24:11.100 is far more
01:24:12.140 powerful force
01:24:13.180 for good and evil
01:24:13.860 than any of us
01:24:14.580 are willing
01:24:15.600 to realize
01:24:16.680 and I don't think
01:24:18.120 that we would have
01:24:18.700 founded our entire
01:24:19.640 culture on the
01:24:20.500 proposition that
01:24:21.360 sovereignty inheres
01:24:22.360 in the individual
01:24:23.020 if we wouldn't have
01:24:23.740 figured that out
01:24:24.320 at some point
01:24:24.960 or is that just a game
01:24:26.420 is that just a game
01:24:27.960 that sovereignty
01:24:28.620 inheres in the individual
01:24:29.680 or is it real
01:24:30.480 the whole
01:24:31.580 your whole culture
01:24:32.680 in particular
01:24:33.240 the Americans
01:24:33.940 you guys in particular
01:24:35.220 it's like it's explicit
01:24:36.800 in your
01:24:37.440 in the structure
01:24:38.640 of your society
01:24:39.420 it's on you
01:24:41.240 and it's not
01:24:42.380 because of your rights
01:24:43.300 it's because of
01:24:44.180 the necessity
01:24:44.960 for you to adopt
01:24:45.980 responsibility
01:24:46.540 for your own
01:24:47.940 shortcomings
01:24:48.860 and the shortcomings
01:24:49.840 of everything
01:24:50.300 around you
01:24:50.920 and so
01:24:52.200 and it seems
01:24:53.920 to me that that's
01:24:54.640 I think that's
01:24:55.460 just a statement
01:24:56.060 of fact
01:24:56.660 that that's how
01:24:57.180 the world works
01:24:57.900 I think that that's
01:24:58.820 why our cultures
01:24:59.700 work
01:25:00.240 the cultures
01:25:00.960 that are predicated
01:25:01.660 on the sovereignty
01:25:02.300 of the individual
01:25:03.000 because we got
01:25:03.780 something right
01:25:04.400 about that
01:25:04.900 but it's not rights
01:25:06.160 it's responsibility
01:25:07.640 but what's cool
01:25:09.020 about that
01:25:09.540 and I'll end with this
01:25:10.340 this is what's so
01:25:11.060 interesting about that
01:25:11.960 it's like
01:25:12.280 you know
01:25:13.740 I already said
01:25:15.100 that like Horace
01:25:16.800 you have reasons
01:25:17.580 not to pay attention
01:25:18.600 you don't want
01:25:19.200 to lose an eye
01:25:19.860 man
01:25:20.100 it's like
01:25:20.460 you really want
01:25:20.940 to pay attention
01:25:21.500 to the terrible
01:25:22.140 things that are
01:25:22.700 going on around you
01:25:23.940 or within you
01:25:24.920 it's very brutal
01:25:26.180 it's like
01:25:27.100 well why bother
01:25:28.320 well here's a reason
01:25:29.540 it's like
01:25:29.900 you're stuck
01:25:30.920 with the suffering
01:25:31.660 in life
01:25:32.580 and you're stuck
01:25:33.940 with the malevolence
01:25:34.780 in life
01:25:35.140 which is associated
01:25:35.920 with the suffering
01:25:36.660 right
01:25:36.900 I mean
01:25:37.100 you're in a fragile
01:25:39.240 physical form
01:25:40.480 you're going to age
01:25:41.620 and die
01:25:42.140 you're going to get sick
01:25:43.400 that's all going to happen
01:25:44.600 and then it's going
01:25:45.620 to be made worse
01:25:46.340 by your own foolish errors
01:25:48.140 and the willful errors
01:25:49.800 of people around you
01:25:50.660 there's no getting away
01:25:51.880 from that
01:25:52.340 but the question is
01:25:54.520 well what can you do
01:25:55.360 in the face of that
01:25:56.440 I would say
01:25:57.380 well you can pursue
01:25:58.320 what justifies that
01:26:00.480 the suffering
01:26:01.280 and the malevolence
01:26:01.980 and the answer to that
01:26:02.680 is you need to do
01:26:03.320 something noble
01:26:03.960 and worthwhile
01:26:04.660 you think
01:26:05.860 well you know
01:26:06.680 despite the
01:26:07.700 what would you say
01:26:09.440 the unacceptability
01:26:10.820 of existence
01:26:11.560 there are things
01:26:12.620 that you can do
01:26:13.180 that make it worthwhile
01:26:14.900 right
01:26:15.260 that make you want
01:26:16.320 to get up in the morning
01:26:17.140 when it's a hard morning
01:26:18.320 to get up
01:26:18.800 you think
01:26:19.060 I've got things
01:26:19.740 that are worth doing
01:26:20.640 it's like
01:26:21.400 well that
01:26:22.080 where do you find
01:26:22.860 the things
01:26:23.200 that are worth doing
01:26:23.980 well it's not
01:26:24.860 an impulsive pleasure
01:26:26.040 and the seeking
01:26:26.740 of every privilege
01:26:27.780 you have
01:26:28.200 because you have rights
01:26:29.280 and you know that
01:26:30.600 you don't admire
01:26:31.740 people like that
01:26:32.760 and admiration
01:26:34.560 is the spontaneous
01:26:35.760 manifestation
01:26:36.580 of your sense
01:26:37.520 of how to orient
01:26:38.200 yourself in the world
01:26:39.100 you admire people
01:26:40.080 who take on
01:26:40.640 the responsibility
01:26:41.280 of life
01:26:41.800 they take care
01:26:42.580 of themselves
01:26:43.060 and they take care
01:26:44.880 of they have
01:26:45.400 excess capacity
01:26:46.740 so they take care
01:26:47.520 of people around them
01:26:48.320 their family
01:26:48.880 and maybe they can
01:26:49.880 even transcend that
01:26:50.940 they take care
01:26:51.440 of themselves
01:26:52.240 their family
01:26:53.100 and their community
01:26:54.260 and they have a reason
01:26:55.280 to get the hell
01:26:55.800 out of bed in the morning
01:26:56.560 when it's a brutal morning
01:26:57.660 and everyone needs
01:26:59.640 a reason to get out
01:27:01.000 of bed in the morning
01:27:01.820 when it's a brutal morning
01:27:03.200 because the brutal mornings
01:27:04.540 if they're not here
01:27:05.800 they're coming
01:27:07.040 and so happiness
01:27:08.680 isn't going to get that
01:27:09.640 for you
01:27:09.940 because those aren't
01:27:10.620 going to be happy mornings
01:27:11.800 and you need
01:27:13.100 but you need to be able
01:27:13.940 to think to yourself
01:27:14.700 yeah I'm going to
01:27:15.600 haul myself up
01:27:16.460 by the scruff of the neck
01:27:17.560 because I got things
01:27:18.700 to do
01:27:19.200 that are worth doing
01:27:20.200 the world will be
01:27:20.860 a less worthwhile place
01:27:22.720 if I don't put my damn
01:27:24.020 feet on the ground
01:27:24.920 and move forward today
01:27:25.980 and to take on
01:27:26.940 the responsibility
01:27:27.640 and that's part of
01:27:29.320 let's say
01:27:30.100 standing up straight
01:27:31.820 with your shoulders back
01:27:33.260 right
01:27:33.760 and to confront the world
01:27:35.040 in a proper manner
01:27:35.940 and so
01:27:37.020 well that's the fundamental
01:27:38.380 ethos of
01:27:39.180 twelve rules for life
01:27:40.640 and the fundamental issue
01:27:42.360 in chapter one
01:27:43.300 and so
01:27:51.740 and so that's
01:27:53.820 for now
01:27:54.820 I'll come back
01:27:56.060 for the Q&A
01:27:56.640 but that's a good place
01:27:57.620 to stop
01:27:58.160 give it up
01:27:59.160 for Jordan Peterson
01:28:00.100 everybody
01:28:00.700 look at you
01:28:06.380 delivering me a computer
01:28:07.820 like a waiter
01:28:09.080 all right
01:28:09.860 so
01:28:10.900 I want to start
01:28:12.180 with this one
01:28:12.680 because there were
01:28:13.300 about a hundred
01:28:13.780 questions like this
01:28:14.840 but I thought it was
01:28:15.480 worded the best way
01:28:16.560 what do you think
01:28:18.500 of all the soy boys
01:28:20.320 across the street
01:28:21.360 I think that
01:28:29.700 you have to live
01:28:30.400 with them
01:28:30.820 well
01:28:32.640 but that
01:28:33.060 that is what I think
01:28:33.980 you know
01:28:34.300 like look
01:28:35.000 I was on
01:28:36.720 Bill Maher's show
01:28:37.900 about
01:28:38.240 two months ago
01:28:39.720 and it was interesting
01:28:41.000 it's interesting
01:28:42.160 to come down
01:28:42.700 to the states
01:28:43.200 because I really
01:28:43.620 like the states
01:28:44.180 I lived here
01:28:44.680 for about six years
01:28:45.640 in Boston
01:28:46.460 and when
01:28:46.960 when the internet
01:28:47.540 was taking off
01:28:48.300 it was real
01:28:48.760 your country
01:28:49.500 was just
01:28:49.960 a bloody juggernaut
01:28:51.160 there for about
01:28:51.760 eight years
01:28:52.360 and so that was
01:28:53.020 really something
01:28:53.480 to see
01:28:54.020 and
01:28:55.160 but I have a little
01:28:57.180 detachment as well
01:28:58.140 because I'm from
01:28:59.220 a different country
01:29:00.160 you know
01:29:00.520 so I'm not quite
01:29:01.560 as tangled up
01:29:02.320 in the things
01:29:03.240 you're tangled up
01:29:03.900 I'm tangled up
01:29:04.520 in my own things
01:29:05.220 obviously
01:29:05.620 but
01:29:05.900 well I went down
01:29:07.260 to see Bill Maher
01:29:08.040 and one of the things
01:29:09.040 that was happening
01:29:09.660 he had a bunch of
01:29:10.560 people who were
01:29:11.240 more liberal
01:29:11.760 leaning on the same
01:29:12.580 program that I was on
01:29:13.640 and
01:29:14.420 you know
01:29:16.000 Maher liked my book
01:29:17.040 because he's kind of
01:29:17.840 a free speech guy
01:29:18.620 which is a good thing
01:29:19.320 because he's a stand-up
01:29:20.120 comedian
01:29:20.500 so he bloody well
01:29:21.220 better be a free speech guy
01:29:22.580 so
01:29:23.260 but you know
01:29:24.280 it does conflict
01:29:25.080 to some degree
01:29:25.700 with his more
01:29:26.320 left-leaning proclivities
01:29:27.680 so he's trying to
01:29:28.980 work that out
01:29:29.520 but
01:29:29.680 when a woman
01:29:32.400 experiences an
01:29:33.300 unplanned pregnancy
01:29:34.240 she often feels
01:29:35.280 alone and afraid
01:29:36.300 too often
01:29:37.340 her first response
01:29:38.300 is to seek out
01:29:39.000 an abortion
01:29:39.480 because that's
01:29:40.620 what left-leaning
01:29:41.260 institutions
01:29:41.840 have conditioned
01:29:42.660 her to do
01:29:43.320 but because
01:29:44.200 of the generosity
01:29:45.100 of listeners like you
01:29:46.240 that search
01:29:46.980 may lead her
01:29:47.620 to a pre-born
01:29:48.260 network clinic
01:29:49.140 where by the grace
01:29:50.180 of God
01:29:50.560 she'll choose life
01:29:51.600 not just for her baby
01:29:52.840 but for herself
01:29:54.080 pre-born offers
01:29:55.300 God's love
01:29:56.000 and compassion
01:29:56.580 to hurting women
01:29:57.320 and provides
01:29:58.020 a free ultrasound
01:29:58.760 to introduce them
01:29:59.700 to the life
01:30:00.200 growing inside them
01:30:01.320 this combination
01:30:02.420 helps women
01:30:03.100 to choose life
01:30:04.040 and it's how
01:30:04.940 pre-born saves

01:30:44.220 I was sitting
01:30:48.560 at the end
01:30:49.060 I was sitting
01:30:49.900 at the show
01:30:50.840 at the end
01:30:51.280 and they do
01:30:52.020 this thing
01:30:52.540 that just goes
01:30:53.260 to YouTube
01:30:53.660 and there was
01:30:54.580 a governor
01:30:55.340 of Washington
01:30:56.640 I think it was
01:30:57.280 the governor
01:30:57.660 and a couple
01:30:58.220 of journalists
01:30:58.860 one from the
01:30:59.340 New York Times
01:30:59.880 and one from
01:31:00.340 the Atlantic
01:31:00.800 and there was
01:31:03.060 a fourth panelist
01:31:03.740 who I don't
01:31:04.060 remember
01:31:04.380 and they were
01:31:04.980 just bashing
01:31:05.580 the hell
01:31:05.920 out of Trump
01:31:06.580 and I thought
01:31:07.980 well first of all
01:31:09.440 it's not that hard
01:31:12.920 you know
01:31:14.660 well you know
01:31:15.640 he's just kind
01:31:16.480 of a strange guy
01:31:17.420 and it's not like
01:31:18.440 anybody in here
01:31:19.360 couldn't list
01:31:20.040 30 things about
01:31:21.260 Trump
01:31:21.980 that you could
01:31:23.100 have issue with
01:31:24.820 so it doesn't take
01:31:25.720 a tremendous amount
01:31:26.500 of perspicacity
01:31:27.380 to come up with
01:31:28.440 a list about
01:31:29.080 things you might
01:31:29.780 find questionable
01:31:30.920 about Trump
01:31:31.660 it's also not
01:31:32.540 that interesting
01:31:33.380 you know I went
01:31:34.480 and saw John Cleese
01:31:35.660 in you know
01:31:36.380 from Monty Python
01:31:37.140 I saw him
01:31:38.960 in Toronto
01:31:41.280 a couple of weeks
01:31:42.100 ago
01:31:42.340 and he told
01:31:43.260 stories about
01:31:44.000 the meaning of life
01:31:46.420 and about
01:31:46.920 the Holy Grail
01:31:48.320 and the life of
01:31:49.100 Brian
01:31:49.400 and the Monty Python
01:31:51.360 shows
01:31:52.220 and that was so
01:31:52.760 interesting
01:31:53.280 and no one
01:31:53.760 could tell those
01:31:54.320 stories except
01:31:55.080 John Cleese
01:31:55.740 it was like
01:31:56.220 yay I get to
01:31:57.300 hear these stories
01:31:58.040 and then he
01:31:58.900 started talking
01:31:59.340 about Trump
01:31:59.880 and it was like
01:32:00.380 listening to your
01:32:01.140 like great uncle
01:32:03.360 talk about Trump
01:32:04.860 who cares
01:32:05.840 what he thinks
01:32:06.520 about Trump
01:32:07.120 he thinks the
01:32:07.900 same thing
01:32:08.460 everyone else
01:32:09.040 thinks about
01:32:09.520 Trump
01:32:09.860 it was dull
01:32:11.020 anyways
01:32:12.160 so
01:32:13.180 they were all
01:32:14.660 squawking about
01:32:15.300 Trump
01:32:15.600 and I was
01:32:16.000 sitting there
01:32:16.380 thinking
01:32:16.740 you Americans
01:32:21.080 have voted
01:32:21.640 50% Republican
01:32:22.860 and 50% Democrat
01:32:24.100 for what
01:32:24.520 20 years
01:32:25.120 right
01:32:25.400 you did exactly
01:32:26.560 the same thing
01:32:27.140 in the last
01:32:27.560 election
01:32:27.920 it's a 50-50
01:32:28.940 split
01:32:29.340 and so maybe
01:32:30.360 you're more
01:32:30.760 polarized than
01:32:31.440 you were
01:32:31.760 and maybe
01:32:32.060 you're not
01:32:32.460 but that
01:32:32.860 hasn't shifted
01:32:33.560 and it's like
01:32:34.100 and so
01:32:35.380 these people
01:32:37.020 that voted
01:32:37.700 for Trump
01:32:38.460 these reprehensible
01:32:39.400 people
01:32:39.800 it's like
01:32:40.260 they're half
01:32:42.180 your people
01:32:42.780 they're in
01:32:45.040 your family
01:32:45.740 they're even
01:32:46.640 in your head
01:32:47.440 you know
01:32:48.640 because
01:32:49.000 you have to
01:32:50.100 be a pretty
01:32:50.620 blind liberal
01:32:52.440 not to have
01:32:53.680 wished
01:32:54.240 when you went
01:32:55.040 into the voting
01:32:55.720 booth
01:32:56.020 to say
01:32:56.500 oh
01:32:57.140 to hell
01:32:58.120 with it
01:32:58.580 Trump
01:32:59.180 right
01:33:01.100 right
01:33:02.000 and so
01:33:02.520 so the issue
01:33:04.060 isn't
01:33:04.880 the issue
01:33:05.680 is how do
01:33:06.220 you bring
01:33:06.480 these people
01:33:06.940 back into
01:33:07.420 the fold
01:33:07.960 how do you
01:33:08.400 get the dialogue
01:33:09.020 going again
01:33:09.740 because
01:33:10.060 you're stuck
01:33:11.620 with
01:33:11.900 the liberals
01:33:13.880 are stuck
01:33:14.480 with you
01:33:14.880 Trump lovers
01:33:15.660 and you
01:33:16.200 Trump lovers
01:33:16.780 are stuck
01:33:17.300 with the liberals
01:33:18.080 and so
01:33:18.620 and the reason
01:33:19.740 your country
01:33:20.260 works is because
01:33:20.940 you've been
01:33:21.300 able to talk
01:33:22.200 and so the
01:33:23.620 talking better
01:33:24.220 continue
01:33:24.740 and that's
01:33:25.180 what I would
01:33:25.520 say about
01:33:25.920 the people
01:33:26.320 outside
01:33:26.720 I mean
01:33:26.920 I don't
01:33:27.180 know what
01:33:27.440 they're up
01:33:27.780 to
01:33:27.940 what
01:33:28.180 they're
01:33:29.140 doing
01:33:29.360 out
01:33:29.540 there
01:33:29.700 today
01:33:30.040 we don't
01:33:32.180 like
01:33:32.500 violent
01:33:33.100 men
01:33:33.600 it's
01:33:33.860 like
01:33:34.040 okay
01:33:34.540 like I
01:33:35.540 don't know
01:33:35.780 I don't
01:33:36.100 know why
01:33:36.400 that's
01:33:36.700 particularly
01:33:37.080 relevant
01:33:37.660 in this
01:33:38.440 particular
01:33:38.860 circumstance
01:33:39.460 well Dave
01:33:40.160 is one
01:33:40.540 of the
01:33:40.720 most
01:33:40.900 violent
01:33:41.260 men
01:33:41.660 I've
01:33:41.860 ever
01:33:42.020 seen
01:33:42.400 actually
01:33:42.720 when you
01:33:44.580 see him
01:33:44.880 in private
01:33:45.360 of course
01:33:45.820 but
01:33:46.480 but I
01:33:47.900 think
01:33:48.160 I think
01:33:48.600 what
01:33:48.820 you want
01:33:49.800 to do
01:33:50.100 is you
01:33:50.420 don't
01:33:50.640 want
01:33:50.840 to win
01:33:51.500 any more
01:33:52.980 than you
01:33:53.280 want to
01:33:53.580 win
01:33:53.860 an argument
01:33:54.460 with your
01:33:54.940 spouse
01:33:55.580 because if
01:33:56.500 you win
01:33:56.740 an argument
01:33:57.100 with your
01:33:57.480 spouse
01:33:57.740 then they
01:33:58.520 lose
01:33:59.240 then you're
01:34:00.140 stuck with
01:34:00.480 a loser
01:34:00.960 right
01:34:02.960 and so you
01:34:04.000 don't you
01:34:04.380 don't want
01:34:04.680 to do
01:34:04.900 that
01:34:05.100 you want
01:34:05.400 to come
01:34:05.600 up with a
01:34:06.040 solution
01:34:06.360 where you
01:34:06.740 both win
01:34:07.540 and so
01:34:08.920 that that's
01:34:09.540 the right
01:34:09.840 way to deal
01:34:10.360 with this
01:34:10.800 and I know
01:34:11.320 it's very
01:34:11.760 difficult to
01:34:12.280 do that
01:34:12.640 as the
01:34:13.200 people you're
01:34:13.680 talking to
01:34:14.120 go farther
01:34:14.740 and farther
01:34:15.240 out on the
01:34:16.100 ideological
01:34:16.660 spectrum
01:34:17.420 right
01:34:17.700 at some
01:34:18.460 point
01:34:18.780 maybe
01:34:19.180 civilized
01:34:20.600 discourse
01:34:21.040 becomes
01:34:21.460 impossible
01:34:22.060 and that's
01:34:23.340 but hopefully
01:34:24.060 that doesn't
01:34:24.560 happen too
01:34:25.020 much
01:34:25.420 because when
01:34:26.280 that starts
01:34:26.740 to happen
01:34:27.060 too much
01:34:27.520 then the
01:34:28.540 sides start
01:34:29.340 to step
01:34:29.800 farther and
01:34:30.300 farther apart
01:34:30.860 and that's
01:34:31.240 what I'm
01:34:31.500 worried about
01:34:31.880 right now
01:34:32.420 is that you
01:34:32.880 see these
01:34:33.300 you can get
01:34:34.360 a situation
01:34:35.080 where it's
01:34:36.360 like a
01:34:36.860 feud
01:34:37.220 or a
01:34:37.700 vendetta
01:34:38.180 you know
01:34:39.020 I tap
01:34:39.620 you
01:34:39.940 you slap
01:34:40.980 me
01:34:41.300 I punch
01:34:42.100 you
01:34:42.460 you hit
01:34:43.040 me with
01:34:43.340 a stick
01:34:43.840 it's like
01:34:44.240 we're
01:34:44.520 and we're
01:34:45.100 and we're
01:34:45.620 going
01:34:46.220 and that's
01:34:47.540 a positive
01:34:47.960 feedback loop
01:34:48.800 and like
01:34:49.460 those positive
01:34:50.320 feedback loop
01:34:51.020 is like when
01:34:51.460 you bring a
01:34:51.820 microphone too
01:34:52.440 close to a
01:34:52.960 speaker
01:34:53.280 you know
01:34:53.660 and it
01:34:53.860 starts to
01:34:54.300 howl
01:34:54.680 and it
01:34:54.980 blows the
01:34:55.400 whole system
01:34:55.880 up
01:34:56.080 because the
01:34:56.560 input gets
01:34:57.160 amplified
01:34:57.620 and we
01:34:59.020 don't want
01:34:59.400 to have
01:34:59.660 that happen
01:35:00.160 we want
01:35:00.500 to dampen
01:35:01.120 it down
01:35:01.640 and I
01:35:02.380 think you
01:35:02.640 dampen
01:35:03.040 it down
01:35:03.360 through
01:35:03.600 by listening
01:35:04.800 and through
01:35:05.140 intelligent
01:35:05.720 discourse
01:35:06.160 and I
01:35:06.820 think maybe
01:35:07.260 the real
01:35:08.300 proper way
01:35:09.000 to do
01:35:09.260 this
01:35:09.480 I'm
01:35:09.720 hoping
01:35:10.020 is that
01:35:10.400 you tell
01:35:10.800 a better
01:35:11.140 story
01:35:11.700 right
01:35:12.740 so someone
01:35:13.160 stuck
01:35:13.500 in an
01:35:13.780 ideology
01:35:14.260 and it's
01:35:15.300 got a
01:35:15.880 narrative
01:35:16.160 angle
01:35:16.620 and it
01:35:17.020 gives
01:35:17.320 them
01:35:17.480 some
01:35:17.700 meaning
01:35:18.000 you
01:35:18.560 got to
01:35:18.840 come up
01:35:19.200 with
01:35:19.340 something
01:35:19.640 that's
01:35:19.880 more
01:35:20.220 attractive
01:35:20.780 it's
01:35:21.660 the best
01:35:22.060 way
01:35:22.300 it's
01:35:22.580 the best
01:35:22.920 attraction
01:35:23.520 forward
01:35:24.140 you know
01:35:24.960 and I'm
01:35:25.240 hoping
01:35:25.540 at least
01:35:25.900 in part
01:35:26.320 that this
01:35:26.720 doctrine
01:35:27.120 of
01:35:27.400 voluntarily
01:35:28.480 accepted
01:35:29.120 individual
01:35:29.720 responsibility
01:35:30.500 as a
01:35:31.780 pathway
01:35:32.220 to
01:35:32.480 meaning
01:35:33.020 because
01:35:34.100 it's
01:35:34.320 never
01:35:34.560 put that
01:35:35.560 way
01:35:35.760 generally
01:35:36.120 speaking
01:35:36.520 it's
01:35:36.760 usually
01:35:36.980 a
01:35:37.200 duty
01:35:37.420 you
01:35:37.640 should
01:35:37.880 accept
01:35:38.300 responsibility
01:35:39.160 it's
01:35:39.820 like
01:35:39.960 no
01:35:40.160 no
01:35:40.340 you
01:35:40.620 need
01:35:40.980 to
01:35:41.140 accept
01:35:41.500 responsibility
01:35:42.100 because
01:35:42.480 that's
01:35:42.800 where
01:35:42.940 you're
01:35:43.100 going
01:35:43.200 to
01:35:43.300 find
01:35:43.500 the
01:35:43.640 meaning
01:35:43.840 in
01:35:44.040 your
01:35:44.140 life
01:35:44.420 I'm
01:35:45.140 hoping
01:35:45.560 that
01:35:46.340 that's
01:35:46.620 a
01:35:46.720 better
01:35:46.920 story
01:35:47.400 and
01:35:47.620 I
01:35:47.760 believe
01:35:48.480 that
01:35:48.780 that's
01:35:49.120 the
01:35:49.320 fundamental
01:35:49.800 story
01:35:50.300 upon
01:35:50.580 which
01:35:50.880 your
01:35:51.140 civilization
01:35:51.720 is
01:35:52.140 predicated
01:35:52.620 in
01:35:52.880 any
01:35:53.120 case
01:35:53.540 and so
01:35:54.500 we
01:35:54.620 got to
01:35:54.840 pull
01:35:55.040 people
01:35:55.380 back
01:35:55.700 to
01:35:55.880 that
01:35:56.160 so
01:35:57.260 so
01:35:58.540 that's
01:35:59.000 because
01:36:00.580 the
01:36:00.720 alternative
01:36:01.140 what's
01:36:01.440 the
01:36:01.580 alternative
01:36:02.060 the
01:36:02.260 alternative
01:36:02.660 is
01:36:03.000 well
01:36:03.340 maybe
01:36:03.520 you
01:36:03.640 get
01:36:03.740 to
01:36:03.900 punch
01:36:04.160 someone
01:36:04.640 you
01:36:05.220 know
01:36:05.300 and
01:36:05.400 that's
01:36:05.680 that's
01:36:05.880 real
01:36:06.060 gratifying
01:36:06.680 perhaps
01:36:07.380 when you're
01:36:08.060 angry
01:36:08.360 for
01:36:08.840 like
01:36:09.020 a
01:36:09.140 20th
01:36:09.520 of
01:36:09.640 a
01:36:09.780 second
01:36:10.080 but
01:36:10.620 as
01:36:10.800 a
01:36:10.980 medium
01:36:11.300 to
01:36:11.560 long
01:36:11.900 term
01:36:12.180 political
01:36:12.660 strategy
01:36:13.260 I
01:36:14.160 wouldn't
01:36:14.400 recommend
01:36:14.840 it
01:36:15.080 it
01:36:15.600 doesn't
01:36:16.040 go
01:36:16.200 good
01:36:16.420 places
01:36:16.880 and
01:36:17.220 those
01:36:17.760 good
01:36:18.060 places
01:36:18.440 it
01:36:18.680 doesn't
01:36:19.000 go
01:36:19.200 are
01:36:19.400 really
01:36:19.880 really
01:36:20.420 really
01:36:21.000 not
01:36:21.580 good
01:36:22.000 and
01:36:22.920 so
01:36:23.200 let's
01:36:23.540 not
01:36:23.700 go
01:36:23.900 there
01:36:24.160 like
01:36:24.480 we
01:36:24.820 don't
01:36:25.000 need
01:36:25.260 to
01:36:25.440 go
01:36:25.620 there
01:36:25.840 again
01:36:26.360 yet
01:36:26.660 again
01:36:27.080 so
01:36:28.000 what's
01:36:35.140 an
01:36:35.280 issue
01:36:35.640 that
01:36:35.940 you
01:36:36.100 thought
01:36:36.560 you
01:36:36.780 had
01:36:36.940 figured
01:36:37.340 out
01:36:37.740 but
01:36:38.000 had
01:36:38.160 since
01:36:38.620 changed
01:36:39.120 your
01:36:39.320 mind
01:36:39.640 on
01:36:39.960 don't
01:36:43.100 say
01:36:43.260 punching
01:36:43.640 people
01:36:44.120 because
01:36:44.540 well
01:36:49.060 I
01:36:49.220 think
01:36:49.440 one
01:36:49.660 of
01:36:49.780 the
01:36:49.940 shifts
01:36:50.380 I
01:36:51.280 had
01:36:51.720 a
01:36:51.880 shift
01:36:52.160 when
01:36:52.480 I
01:36:52.580 was
01:36:52.720 talking
01:36:53.000 to
01:36:53.220 Sam
01:36:53.480 Harris
01:36:53.820 because
01:36:54.220 Harris
01:36:55.480 insists
01:36:56.400 that
01:36:56.700 values
01:36:57.220 can be
01:36:57.660 derived
01:36:58.080 from
01:36:58.380 facts
01:36:58.900 and
01:36:59.080 I've
01:36:59.260 been
01:36:59.380 kind
01:36:59.560 of
01:36:59.680 hammering
01:37:00.160 about
01:37:00.420 that
01:37:00.720 because
01:37:01.020 there's
01:37:02.280 a
01:37:02.440 way
01:37:02.700 in
01:37:02.880 which
01:37:03.060 that's
01:37:03.400 not
01:37:03.660 correct
01:37:04.220 but
01:37:05.080 when
01:37:05.460 I
01:37:05.600 was
01:37:05.780 thinking
01:37:06.060 about
01:37:06.360 how
01:37:06.520 to
01:37:06.660 communicate
01:37:07.060 with
01:37:07.420 him
01:37:07.640 and
01:37:08.180 to
01:37:08.440 move
01:37:08.640 the
01:37:08.820 communication
01:37:09.280 forward
01:37:09.720 I
01:37:10.480 realized
01:37:10.940 that
01:37:11.240 when I
01:37:12.540 wrote
01:37:12.780 my first
01:37:13.260 book
01:37:13.500 when I
01:37:13.740 wrote
01:37:13.880 Maps
01:37:14.160 of
01:37:14.280 Meaning
01:37:14.460 and it's
01:37:14.780 in 12
01:37:15.120 rules for
01:37:15.500 life
01:37:15.680 too
01:37:15.820 I was
01:37:16.220 actually trying
01:37:16.800 to derive
01:37:17.220 values
01:37:17.560 values from
01:37:17.780 facts
01:37:18.240 I was
01:37:18.940 doing it
01:37:19.540 in a
01:37:20.780 manner
01:37:21.120 that was
01:37:21.480 different
01:37:21.880 than he
01:37:22.300 recommended
01:37:22.900 and I
01:37:23.380 think
01:37:23.600 a more
01:37:23.880 suitable
01:37:24.220 manner
01:37:24.580 which
01:37:24.840 still
01:37:25.420 needs
01:37:25.800 to be
01:37:26.040 discussed
01:37:26.380 with
01:37:26.600 him
01:37:26.800 because
01:37:27.840 I
01:37:28.100 think
01:37:28.380 that
01:37:28.560 what
01:37:28.720 I
01:37:28.880 laid
01:37:29.140 out
01:37:29.360 is
01:37:29.540 how
01:37:29.780 values
01:37:30.320 were
01:37:30.540 derived
01:37:30.960 from
01:37:31.240 facts
01:37:31.700 over
01:37:32.040 the
01:37:32.300 evolutionary
01:37:33.000 timeline
01:37:33.860 rather
01:37:34.320 than
01:37:34.580 over
01:37:34.900 the
01:37:35.080 timeline
01:37:35.400 of a
01:37:35.700 single
01:37:35.940 life
01:37:36.380 you know
01:37:37.080 so
01:37:37.280 Sam
01:37:37.700 seems
01:37:38.420 to
01:37:38.620 think
01:37:38.920 and
01:37:39.580 maybe
01:37:39.920 this
01:37:40.120 is
01:37:40.260 wrong
01:37:40.520 that
01:37:41.120 the
01:37:41.400 facts
01:37:41.780 are
01:37:41.980 there
01:37:42.240 and
01:37:42.380 you
01:37:42.480 can
01:37:42.640 derive
01:37:42.940 values
01:37:43.380 from
01:37:43.620 them
01:37:43.820 and
01:37:44.360 I
01:37:44.540 think
01:37:44.820 no
01:37:45.340 the
01:37:45.540 facts
01:37:45.860 are
01:37:46.000 there
01:37:46.180 but
01:37:46.380 they
01:37:46.660 have
01:37:46.880 to
01:37:47.000 be
01:37:47.120 there
01:37:47.320 for
01:37:47.520 a
01:37:47.680 very
01:37:48.200 long
01:37:48.820 time
01:37:49.360 like
01:37:49.720 who
01:37:50.700 knows
01:37:51.000 how
01:37:51.180 long
01:37:51.460 a
01:37:51.800 million
01:37:52.140 years
01:37:52.560 five
01:37:52.960 million
01:37:53.300 years
01:37:53.640 ten
01:37:54.000 million
01:37:54.320 years
01:37:54.620 I
01:37:54.780 don't
01:37:54.960 know
01:37:55.240 for
01:37:56.100 you
01:37:57.020 to
01:37:57.240 derive
01:37:57.680 acceptable
01:37:59.020 values
01:37:59.480 from
01:37:59.680 the
01:37:59.860 facts
01:38:00.200 and
01:38:00.380 then
01:38:00.600 the
01:38:01.260 mechanism
01:38:02.440 by
01:38:02.760 which
01:38:03.040 those
01:38:03.300 values
01:38:03.640 are
01:38:03.840 derived
01:38:04.200 is
01:38:04.600 biologically
01:38:05.360 instantiated
01:38:06.280 and
01:38:06.480 it's
01:38:07.040 sorry
01:38:07.440 I know
01:38:07.720 this
01:38:07.900 is
01:38:08.020 very
01:38:08.200 complicated
01:38:08.680 but
01:38:09.000 and
01:38:09.660 then
01:38:12.940 which
01:38:13.060 facts
01:38:13.360 manifest
01:38:13.840 themselves
01:38:14.360 to
01:38:14.540 you
01:38:14.620 so
01:38:14.760 there
01:38:14.920 is
01:38:15.080 a
01:38:15.220 connection
01:38:15.580 between
01:38:15.940 facts
01:38:16.300 and
01:38:16.500 values
01:38:16.880 that
01:38:17.520 I
01:38:17.740 had
01:38:18.580 glossed
01:38:19.100 over
01:38:19.380 in
01:38:19.840 my
01:38:20.120 attempts
01:38:20.560 to
01:38:20.900 make
01:38:22.640 a case
01:38:23.200 for the
01:38:23.500 primacy
01:38:23.880 of
01:38:24.060 stories
01:38:24.460 instead
01:38:24.800 of
01:38:25.000 facts
01:38:25.420 so
01:38:25.960 that's
01:38:26.180 one
01:38:26.340 thing
01:38:26.520 that's
01:38:26.740 changed
01:38:27.020 very
01:38:27.300 recently
01:38:27.760 and
01:38:28.060 so
01:38:28.260 and
01:38:28.940 I
01:38:29.160 think
01:38:29.360 that
01:38:29.540 that's
01:38:29.940 been
01:38:30.420 helpful
01:38:30.800 and
01:38:31.120 I
01:38:31.340 think
01:38:31.680 it
01:38:31.800 makes
01:38:32.000 the
01:38:32.200 situation
01:38:32.640 clearer
01:38:33.160 I
01:38:33.700 think
01:38:33.880 it
01:38:34.000 also
01:38:34.260 perhaps
01:38:34.840 opens
01:38:35.280 the
01:38:35.500 door
01:38:35.760 for
01:38:36.480 a
01:38:36.920 more
01:38:37.560 profound
01:38:39.320 and
01:38:39.640 lasting
01:38:40.120 mediation
01:38:41.080 between
01:38:41.500 the
01:38:41.760 claims
01:38:42.060 of
01:38:42.260 the
01:38:42.400 atheists
01:38:42.940 and
01:38:43.140 the
01:38:43.280 claims
01:38:43.560 of
01:38:43.740 the
01:38:43.880 religious
01:38:44.260 I
01:38:44.800 think
01:38:44.960 there's
01:38:45.140 a
01:38:45.320 biological
01:38:45.900 solution
01:38:46.560 to
01:38:46.820 that
01:38:47.060 argument
01:38:47.480 so
01:38:48.280 well
01:38:49.300 so
01:38:49.600 that's
01:38:50.040 one
01:38:50.240 thing
01:38:50.480 that
01:38:50.640 I've
01:38:50.860 been
01:38:51.040 changing
01:38:51.580 my
01:38:51.800 mind
01:38:52.020 about
01:38:52.320 I
01:38:53.500 bet
01:38:53.640 you
01:38:53.760 didn't
01:38:53.980 expect
01:38:54.400 that
01:38:54.580 it
01:38:54.680 would
01:38:54.800 be
01:38:54.960 that
01:38:55.380 were
01:38:58.300 Kermit
01:38:58.660 the
01:38:58.820 frog
01:38:59.040 and
01:38:59.220 Miss
01:38:59.400 piggy
01:38:59.640 in
01:38:59.840 an
01:38:59.980 abusive
01:39:00.340 relationship
01:39:01.260 no
01:39:14.420 more
01:39:14.740 no
01:39:15.240 more
01:39:15.560 abusive
01:39:16.080 than
01:39:16.560 most
01:39:17.200 this
01:39:23.660 is
01:39:23.780 interesting
01:39:24.120 how
01:39:24.420 do
01:39:24.540 you
01:39:24.640 know
01:39:24.800 when
01:39:24.980 it's
01:39:25.180 time
01:39:25.480 to
01:39:25.740 cut
01:39:26.040 out
01:39:26.420 a
01:39:26.680 toxic
01:39:27.160 friend
01:39:27.720 right
01:39:30.040 right
01:39:30.440 right
01:39:30.760 well
01:39:30.940 that's
01:39:31.360 a
01:39:31.460 good
01:39:31.580 example
01:39:31.980 of
01:39:32.180 the
01:39:32.320 sort
01:39:32.500 of
01:39:32.600 thing
01:39:32.760 we
01:39:32.920 were
01:39:33.060 talking
01:39:33.340 about
01:39:33.560 tonight
01:39:33.840 right
01:39:34.140 when
01:39:34.360 do
01:39:34.460 you
01:39:34.520 cut
01:39:34.660 your
01:39:34.800 losses
01:39:35.160 that's
01:39:35.920 a
01:39:36.020 good
01:39:36.160 example
01:39:36.600 of
01:39:36.840 that
01:39:37.020 terrible
01:39:37.540 tension
01:39:39.660 between
01:39:40.240 structure
01:39:41.480 and the
01:39:41.920 continuation
01:39:42.320 of the
01:39:42.880 same
01:39:43.080 thing
01:39:43.380 and
01:39:43.540 transformation
01:39:44.240 well
01:39:51.020 I
01:39:51.280 can
01:39:51.580 tell
01:39:53.040 you
01:39:53.240 an
01:39:53.460 answer
01:39:53.680 to
01:39:53.820 that
01:39:54.020 in
01:39:55.140 bits
01:39:55.660 see
01:39:56.440 I
01:39:56.620 can't
01:39:56.920 give
01:39:57.120 a
01:39:57.820 canonical
01:39:58.560 answer
01:39:59.000 to
01:39:59.180 that
01:39:59.360 because
01:39:59.620 the
01:39:59.820 devil
01:40:00.040 is
01:40:00.180 always
01:40:00.400 in
01:40:00.600 the
01:40:00.720 details
01:40:01.180 right
01:40:01.500 so
01:40:01.780 if
01:40:02.660 I
01:40:02.980 was
01:40:03.160 dealing
01:40:03.380 with
01:40:03.640 that
01:40:04.360 problem
01:40:04.800 in
01:40:05.100 a
01:40:05.200 clinical
01:40:05.480 setting
01:40:05.960 I'd
01:40:06.600 have
01:40:06.760 the
01:40:06.920 person
01:40:07.240 lay
01:40:07.520 out
01:40:07.720 the
01:40:07.920 whole
01:40:08.120 story
01:40:08.520 of
01:40:08.700 the
01:40:08.900 friendship
01:40:09.500 and
01:40:10.680 then
01:40:10.820 lay
01:40:11.100 out
01:40:11.300 their
01:40:11.480 strategies
01:40:11.980 for
01:40:12.220 dealing
01:40:12.480 with
01:40:12.720 it
01:40:12.880 and
01:40:13.280 then
01:40:13.420 lay
01:40:13.640 out
01:40:13.800 a
01:40:13.940 set
01:40:14.100 of
01:40:14.240 potential
01:40:14.760 strategies
01:40:15.420 and
01:40:16.140 if
01:40:16.280 we
01:40:16.400 couldn't
01:40:16.680 come
01:40:16.900 up
01:40:17.060 with
01:40:17.180 a
01:40:17.320 potential
01:40:17.680 strategy
01:40:18.200 that
01:40:18.440 seemed
01:40:18.720 implementable
01:40:19.460 that
01:40:19.680 would
01:40:19.840 salvage
01:40:20.200 the
01:40:20.360 relationship
01:40:20.820 then
01:40:21.160 we
01:40:21.300 would
01:40:21.460 decide
01:40:21.780 that
01:40:21.960 perhaps
01:40:22.600 we
01:40:22.920 could
01:40:23.180 explore
01:40:23.580 stepping
01:40:23.960 away
01:40:24.240 from
01:40:24.460 it
01:40:24.640 but
01:40:25.140 the
01:40:25.320 devil's
01:40:25.700 in
01:40:25.800 the
01:40:25.960 details
01:40:26.420 right
01:40:26.720 that's
01:40:27.120 a
01:40:27.240 very
01:40:27.420 particularized
01:40:28.540 solution
01:40:29.220 and so
01:40:30.120 trying to
01:40:30.620 extract out
01:40:31.220 a general
01:40:31.640 rule of
01:40:32.020 thumb
01:40:32.220 from that
01:40:32.620 is
01:40:32.780 dangerous
01:40:33.320 but
01:40:34.160 having
01:40:35.400 said that
01:40:35.900 I can
01:40:36.180 give you
01:40:36.480 some
01:40:36.840 general
01:40:37.700 rules
01:40:38.100 of
01:40:38.280 thumb
01:40:38.580 so
01:40:39.180 if
01:40:40.180 you're
01:40:40.340 dealing
01:40:40.540 with
01:40:40.740 an
01:40:40.880 intransigent
01:40:41.620 family
01:40:42.200 member
01:40:42.680 let's
01:40:43.120 say
01:40:43.280 who's
01:40:43.620 stuck
01:40:44.000 in
01:40:44.280 a
01:40:44.600 rut
01:40:45.340 and
01:40:45.920 maybe
01:40:46.120 is
01:40:46.320 complaining
01:40:46.660 about
01:40:46.940 the
01:40:47.120 rut
01:40:47.300 all the
01:40:47.640 time
01:40:47.900 but
01:40:48.060 doesn't
01:40:48.300 do
01:40:48.420 anything
01:40:48.660 to
01:40:48.880 change
01:40:49.240 it
01:40:49.460 and
01:40:50.020 you've
01:40:50.280 suggested
01:40:50.820 changes
01:40:52.000 and
01:40:52.840 you've
01:40:53.100 suggested
01:40:53.560 them
01:40:53.840 three
01:40:54.180 times
01:40:54.700 and
01:40:55.240 nothing
01:40:56.140 has
01:40:56.380 happened
01:40:56.800 then
01:40:57.380 I
01:40:57.540 would
01:40:57.720 say
01:40:58.100 stop
01:40:59.340 suggesting
01:41:00.020 changes
01:41:00.740 and
01:41:02.060 because
01:41:02.480 there's
01:41:03.280 an old
01:41:03.620 there's
01:41:04.080 a New
01:41:04.300 Testament
01:41:04.640 statement
01:41:05.560 don't
01:41:06.040 cast
01:41:06.420 pearls
01:41:06.860 before
01:41:07.320 swine
01:41:07.920 and
01:41:08.640 which
01:41:09.060 is a
01:41:09.240 very
01:41:09.380 rough
01:41:09.640 statement
01:41:10.120 man
01:41:10.480 it's
01:41:10.760 really
01:41:11.100 it's
01:41:11.520 a
01:41:11.640 harsh
01:41:11.880 statement
01:41:12.320 and
01:41:12.760 I've
01:41:12.920 spent
01:41:13.120 a lot
01:41:13.360 of
01:41:13.480 time
01:41:13.640 thinking
01:41:13.920 about
01:41:14.180 it
01:41:14.280 because
01:41:14.480 it's
01:41:14.740 so
01:41:14.920 harsh
01:41:15.240 it's
01:41:15.700 like
01:41:15.820 okay
01:41:16.040 what does
01:41:16.320 that
01:41:16.500 mean
01:41:16.780 it
01:41:17.300 means
01:41:17.660 if
01:41:19.460 people
01:41:19.840 aren't
01:41:20.100 listening
01:41:20.420 to
01:41:20.680 you
01:41:20.820 then
01:41:21.020 shut
01:41:21.360 up
01:41:21.660 because
01:41:23.720 you're
01:41:23.960 not
01:41:24.120 where
01:41:24.300 you
01:41:24.440 think
01:41:24.700 you
01:41:24.900 are
01:41:25.180 right
01:41:25.700 because
01:41:26.080 if
01:41:26.440 you're
01:41:26.540 having
01:41:26.720 a
01:41:26.900 conversation
01:41:27.500 and
01:41:27.780 it's
01:41:27.940 a
01:41:28.040 real
01:41:28.200 conversation
01:41:28.840 then
01:41:29.260 I'm
01:41:30.360 listening
01:41:30.620 to
01:41:30.820 you
01:41:30.940 and
01:41:31.060 you're
01:41:31.220 listening
01:41:31.480 to
01:41:31.660 me
01:41:31.880 and
01:41:32.340 if
01:41:32.460 I'm
01:41:32.660 talking
01:41:33.020 and
01:41:33.200 you're
01:41:33.340 not
01:41:33.520 listening
01:41:33.920 then
01:41:34.740 I'm
01:41:35.320 not
01:41:35.540 where
01:41:35.800 I
01:41:35.960 think
01:41:36.300 I
01:41:36.540 am
01:41:36.880 and
01:41:37.740 so
01:41:37.900 there's
01:41:38.080 just
01:41:38.260 no
01:41:38.460 sense
01:41:38.760 doing
01:41:39.040 it
01:41:39.160 again
01:41:39.400 now
01:41:39.680 you
01:41:40.480 can
01:41:41.000 also
01:41:41.300 sometimes
01:41:41.900 suggest
01:41:43.020 to
01:41:43.180 the
01:41:43.300 person
01:41:43.560 that
01:41:43.900 they
01:41:44.180 don't
01:41:44.520 tell
01:41:44.800 you
01:41:45.000 that
01:41:45.240 problem
01:41:45.740 anymore
01:41:46.280 it's
01:41:47.000 like
01:41:47.140 tell
01:41:47.680 you
01:41:47.840 what
01:41:48.060 you
01:41:48.600 have
01:41:48.780 this
01:41:48.960 problem
01:41:49.320 I've
01:41:49.620 heard
01:41:49.780 about
01:41:50.040 it
01:41:50.240 eight
01:41:51.380 times
01:41:52.000 I've
01:41:53.380 made
01:41:53.580 some
01:41:53.820 suggestions
01:41:54.420 none
01:41:55.660 of
01:41:55.820 them
01:41:55.960 were
01:41:56.120 implemented
01:41:56.620 we'll
01:41:57.680 make
01:41:57.860 a
01:41:57.960 deal
01:41:58.180 you
01:41:58.800 don't
01:41:59.100 tell
01:41:59.320 me
01:41:59.460 the
01:41:59.620 problem
01:42:00.040 anymore
01:42:00.580 and
01:42:00.980 I
01:42:01.100 won't
01:42:01.340 tell
01:42:01.580 you
01:42:01.800 any
01:42:02.380 solutions
01:42:02.880 to
01:42:03.160 it
01:42:03.360 and
01:42:04.240 then
01:42:04.420 often
01:42:05.140 what
01:42:05.380 happens
01:42:05.840 because
01:42:06.220 of
01:42:06.460 that
01:42:06.700 is
01:42:06.980 and
01:42:08.420 then
01:42:08.540 you
01:42:08.640 have
01:42:08.800 to
01:42:08.940 enforce
01:42:09.340 it
01:42:09.680 right
01:42:10.140 because
01:42:10.500 they'll
01:42:10.720 try to
01:42:11.100 tell
01:42:11.260 you
01:42:11.360 the
01:42:11.500 problems
01:42:11.880 a few
01:42:12.180 more
01:42:12.380 times
01:42:12.740 you
01:42:13.240 have
01:42:13.440 to
01:42:13.580 enforce
01:42:13.920 it
01:42:14.220 often
01:42:16.140 what
01:42:16.360 happens
01:42:16.740 in
01:42:16.880 that
01:42:17.040 situation
01:42:17.580 is
01:42:17.820 the
01:42:17.960 person
01:42:18.240 will
01:42:18.420 go
01:42:18.580 away
01:42:18.780 and
01:42:18.960 think
01:42:19.380 you
01:42:20.560 know
01:42:20.660 because
01:42:20.960 it's
01:42:21.380 it's
01:42:22.540 the
01:42:22.900 psychologists
01:42:23.420 often
01:42:23.860 call
01:42:24.140 this
01:42:24.340 enabling
01:42:24.820 like
01:42:25.200 if
01:42:25.380 you
01:42:25.600 allow
01:42:26.240 the
01:42:26.440 person
01:42:26.760 to
01:42:27.140 complain
01:42:28.460 about
01:42:28.760 the
01:42:29.000 same
01:42:29.260 problem
01:42:29.700 without
01:42:29.960 changing
01:42:30.580 and
01:42:30.820 just
01:42:31.080 complaining
01:42:31.520 and
01:42:31.920 you
01:42:32.100 listen
01:42:32.560 then
01:42:33.740 you're
01:42:34.660 allowing
01:42:35.180 what
01:42:35.820 you're
01:42:36.020 doing
01:42:36.200 is
01:42:36.380 allowing
01:42:36.700 them
01:42:36.940 to
01:42:37.240 pretend
01:42:37.820 to
01:42:38.000 themselves
01:42:38.360 that
01:42:38.580 they're
01:42:38.720 trying
01:42:38.920 to
01:42:39.060 look
01:42:39.200 for
01:42:39.340 a
01:42:39.480 solution
01:42:39.820 because
01:42:41.020 by
01:42:41.280 telling
01:42:41.540 you
01:42:41.720 about
01:42:41.920 the
01:42:42.080 problem
01:42:42.460 part
01:42:43.500 of
01:42:43.620 what
01:42:43.760 they're
01:42:43.920 doing
01:42:44.180 is
01:42:44.580 acting
01:42:46.260 as if
01:42:46.800 complaining
01:42:47.540 about
01:42:47.840 it
01:42:48.000 is
01:42:48.320 a
01:42:48.480 solution
01:42:48.840 to
01:42:49.060 the
01:42:49.180 problem
01:42:49.500 but
01:42:49.980 it
01:42:50.080 isn't
01:42:50.320 because
01:42:50.540 nothing's
01:42:50.920 happening
01:42:51.280 but
01:42:51.820 if
01:42:51.940 you're
01:42:52.100 listening
01:42:52.440 then
01:42:52.680 you're
01:42:52.960 acting
01:42:53.360 out
01:42:53.620 the
01:42:53.820 part
01:42:54.040 of
01:42:54.160 someone
01:42:54.360 who
01:42:54.520 agrees
01:42:54.960 with
01:42:55.160 the
01:42:55.320 proposition
01:42:55.700 that
01:42:56.020 they're
01:42:56.160 trying
01:42:56.360 to
01:42:56.480 work
01:42:56.640 towards
01:42:56.920 a
01:42:57.060 solution
01:42:57.380 and
01:42:57.960 if
01:42:58.080 you
01:42:58.180 just
01:42:58.360 say
01:42:58.600 hey
01:42:59.340 I'm
01:42:59.460 not
01:42:59.600 doing
01:42:59.780 that
01:42:59.960 anymore
01:43:00.300 then
01:43:01.100 you've
01:43:01.400 deprived
01:43:01.840 them
01:43:02.160 of
01:43:02.300 one
01:43:02.500 piece
01:43:02.740 of
01:43:02.880 evidence
01:43:03.200 that
01:43:03.420 that's
01:43:03.640 a
01:43:03.740 useful
01:43:04.020 solution
01:43:04.580 especially
01:43:05.280 if
01:43:05.480 you
01:43:05.580 actually
01:43:05.860 love
01:43:06.160 them
01:43:06.360 too
01:43:06.540 because
01:43:06.820 then
01:43:07.040 you're
01:43:07.200 a
01:43:07.300 credible
01:43:07.560 source
01:43:08.000 and
01:43:08.560 then
01:43:08.680 maybe
01:43:08.840 they
01:43:08.980 have
01:43:09.120 to
01:43:09.220 go
01:43:09.320 back
01:43:09.500 and
01:43:09.640 think
01:43:09.900 it's
01:43:10.060 like
01:43:10.200 oh
01:43:10.340 I
01:43:10.480 see
01:43:10.660 that
01:43:10.820 person
01:43:11.120 won't
01:43:11.320 put
01:43:11.500 up
01:43:11.620 with
01:43:11.760 my
01:43:11.920 nonsense
01:43:12.200 anymore
01:43:12.720 now
01:43:13.440 they're
01:43:13.560 not
01:43:13.660 going
01:43:13.780 to be
01:43:13.920 happy
01:43:14.220 about
01:43:14.480 that
01:43:14.820 but
01:43:15.300 well
01:43:15.940 some
01:43:16.200 part
01:43:17.380 of
01:43:17.580 them
01:43:17.720 will
01:43:17.900 be
01:43:18.100 but
01:43:18.440 then
01:43:18.600 sometimes
01:43:19.000 they'll
01:43:19.260 think
01:43:19.580 and
01:43:19.720 then
01:43:19.880 sometimes
01:43:20.200 they'll
01:43:20.380 come
01:43:20.520 back
01:43:20.740 to
01:43:20.860 you
01:43:20.960 with
01:43:21.100 a
01:43:21.220 different
01:43:21.520 take
01:43:22.360 it
01:43:22.660 might
01:43:22.820 take
01:43:23.060 a
01:43:23.160 while
01:43:23.320 it
01:43:23.420 might
01:43:23.540 take
01:43:23.720 three
01:43:23.940 months
01:43:24.200 it
01:43:24.320 might
01:43:24.460 take
01:43:24.680 six
01:43:24.920 months
01:43:25.160 but
01:43:25.360 that
01:43:25.780 will
01:43:25.920 often
01:43:26.240 move
01:43:26.600 something
01:43:27.060 so
01:43:27.940 that
01:43:28.660 would
01:43:28.800 be
01:43:28.940 a
01:43:29.100 small
01:43:29.500 scale
01:43:29.980 step
01:43:30.380 away
01:43:30.720 then
01:43:31.720 I
01:43:31.840 would
01:43:31.960 say
01:43:32.160 too
01:43:32.400 is
01:43:32.560 like
01:43:32.780 here's
01:43:33.840 another
01:43:34.380 hint
01:43:34.780 this
01:43:35.100 is
01:43:35.240 a
01:43:35.380 broader
01:43:35.640 hint
01:43:35.960 for
01:43:36.140 your
01:43:36.300 life
01:43:36.560 in
01:43:36.740 general
01:43:37.120 it's
01:43:38.360 like
01:43:38.500 let's
01:43:38.740 say
01:43:38.860 you
01:43:38.980 have
01:43:39.140 a
01:43:39.280 person
01:43:39.560 who's
01:43:40.360 burdening
01:43:40.960 you
01:43:41.140 a
01:43:41.380 lot
01:43:41.740 and
01:43:42.700 it
01:43:43.040 looks
01:43:43.220 kind
01:43:43.440 of
01:43:43.540 counterproductive
01:43:44.260 in that
01:43:44.640 it's
01:43:44.860 hurting
01:43:45.140 you
01:43:45.440 and
01:43:45.620 it's
01:43:45.760 not
01:43:45.900 helping
01:43:46.200 them
01:43:46.500 because
01:43:47.260 that's
01:43:47.500 kind
01:43:47.640 of
01:43:47.700 the
01:43:48.140 calculus
01:43:49.080 you're
01:43:49.440 making
01:43:49.740 right
01:43:49.980 when
01:43:51.200 you're
01:43:51.620 talking
01:43:51.860 about
01:43:52.040 a
01:43:52.180 toxic
01:43:52.520 friend
01:43:52.940 it's
01:43:53.160 like
01:43:53.300 the
01:43:53.440 friend's
01:43:53.700 life
01:43:53.880 is
01:43:54.020 all
01:43:54.200 screwed
01:43:54.500 up
01:43:54.800 and
01:43:55.680 that's
01:43:56.080 bad
01:43:56.400 but
01:43:57.000 then
01:43:57.240 that's
01:43:57.880 screwing
01:43:58.180 up
01:43:58.320 your
01:43:58.500 life
01:43:58.800 and
01:43:58.940 maybe
01:43:59.180 that's
01:43:59.500 acceptable
01:43:59.940 if
01:44:07.120 helpful
01:44:07.400 it's
01:44:08.240 like
01:44:08.380 so
01:44:08.660 how
01:44:09.480 can
01:44:09.660 you
01:44:09.800 tell
01:44:09.980 when
01:44:10.160 you
01:44:10.280 should
01:44:10.440 step
01:44:10.700 away
01:44:10.940 from
01:44:11.120 that
01:44:11.380 and
01:44:11.960 I
01:44:12.080 would
01:44:12.240 say
01:44:12.560 notice
01:44:13.520 if
01:44:13.800 you're
01:44:14.020 resentful
01:44:14.660 but
01:44:16.200 I
01:44:16.320 would
01:44:16.460 also
01:44:16.740 say
01:44:16.980 especially
01:44:17.340 to
01:44:17.560 you
01:44:17.720 agreeable
01:44:18.200 types
01:44:18.540 who
01:44:18.720 are
01:44:18.840 always
01:44:19.040 trying
01:44:19.260 to
01:44:19.400 help
01:44:19.600 other
01:44:19.800 people
01:44:20.180 and
01:44:20.920 who
01:44:22.020 will
01:44:22.180 sacrifice
01:44:22.660 yourself
01:44:23.260 to
01:44:23.620 do
01:44:23.800 that
01:44:24.120 watch
01:44:25.800 your
01:44:26.020 resentment
01:44:26.480 because
01:44:27.800 agreeable
01:44:28.280 people
01:44:28.540 get
01:44:28.760 resentful
01:44:29.340 and
01:44:29.540 the
01:44:29.660 reason
01:44:29.860 they
01:44:30.000 get
01:44:30.120 resentful
01:44:30.540 is
01:44:30.680 because
01:44:30.800 they
01:44:30.980 allow
01:44:31.460 themselves
01:44:32.040 to
01:44:32.360 be
01:44:32.560 taken
01:44:32.900 advantage
01:44:33.360 of
01:44:33.560 might
01:44:33.940 also
01:44:34.140 because
01:44:34.440 they're
01:44:34.700 whiny
01:44:35.020 and
01:44:35.200 immature
01:44:35.500 and
01:44:35.820 so
01:44:35.940 you
01:44:36.060 ask
01:44:36.320 yourself
01:44:36.640 that
01:44:36.920 first
01:44:37.220 I'm
01:44:37.620 resentful
01:44:38.100 maybe
01:44:38.680 I'm
01:44:38.940 whiny
01:44:39.220 and
01:44:39.860 immature
01:44:40.200 then
01:44:41.020 you
01:44:41.140 can
01:44:41.220 go
01:44:41.340 ask
01:44:41.640 someone
01:44:41.980 here's
01:44:42.620 the
01:44:42.760 issue
01:44:43.160 I'm
01:44:43.840 resentful
01:44:44.440 am
01:44:44.820 I
01:44:44.960 being
01:44:45.180 whiny
01:44:45.520 and
01:44:45.700 immature
01:44:46.120 and
01:44:46.620 they
01:44:46.720 might
01:44:46.900 say
01:44:47.100 yes
01:44:47.460 and
01:44:47.620 then
01:44:47.740 you
01:44:47.880 should
01:44:48.040 fix
01:44:48.340 that
01:44:48.620 but
01:44:49.120 they
01:44:49.380 might
01:44:49.620 also
01:44:49.900 say
01:44:50.160 no
01:44:50.440 you're
01:44:50.740 being
01:44:50.900 taken

01:44:51.960 it's
01:44:52.740 like
01:44:52.880 well
01:44:53.040 if
01:44:53.180 you're
01:44:53.320 being

01:44:58.100 it's
01:44:58.380 not
01:44:58.640 acceptable
01:44:59.480 for you
01:45:00.080 to allow
01:45:00.600 yourself
01:45:01.040 to be

01:45:04.140 laid
01:45:04.360 out
01:45:04.540 this
01:45:04.800 proposition
01:45:05.340 that
01:45:05.620 you
01:45:05.760 should
01:45:05.980 act

01:45:08.600 responsible
01:45:09.140 for

01:45:10.720 an
01:45:10.820 ethical
01:45:11.100 duty
01:45:11.440 to

01:45:17.520 six-month-old
01:45:18.220 infants

01:45:40.400 and
01:45:40.660 not
01:45:40.920 so
01:45:41.140 subtle
01:45:41.500 ways
01:45:42.060 and
01:45:42.660 so
01:45:42.820 once
01:45:43.080 you
01:45:44.040 hit
01:45:44.220 the
01:45:44.420 point
01:45:44.780 of
01:45:45.000 resentment
01:45:45.620 assuming
01:45:46.400 you're
01:45:46.600 not
01:45:46.740 being
01:45:46.960 whiny
01:45:47.240 and
01:45:47.420 immature
01:45:47.720 then
01:45:48.780 you
01:45:48.880 have
01:45:49.020 to
01:45:49.140 make
01:45:49.300 a
01:45:49.420 decision
01:45:49.800 and
01:45:50.000 the
01:45:50.140 decision
01:45:50.460 might
01:45:50.760 be
01:45:51.000 should
01:45:51.360 be
01:45:51.620 I'm
01:45:52.260 not
01:45:52.420 being
01:45:52.580 taken
01:45:52.820 advantage
01:45:53.200 of
01:45:53.380 anymore
01:45:53.740 and
01:45:54.940 so
01:45:55.080 then
01:45:55.260 you
01:45:55.380 take
01:45:55.640 your
01:45:55.800 toxic
01:45:56.220 friend
01:45:56.580 who's
01:45:56.840 taking
01:45:57.160 advantage
01:45:57.600 of
01:45:57.800 you
01:45:57.900 and
01:45:58.060 say
01:45:58.280 look
01:45:58.660 you
01:45:59.880 took
01:46:00.100 advantage
01:46:00.460 of
01:46:00.640 me
01:46:00.780 this
01:46:01.100 way
01:46:01.420 and
01:46:02.840 then
01:46:02.980 you
01:46:03.120 did
01:46:03.300 it
01:46:03.420 again
01:46:03.920 this
01:46:04.600 way
01:46:04.880 and
01:46:05.820 then
01:46:06.000 you
01:46:06.160 did
01:46:06.320 it
01:46:06.460 again
01:46:06.760 this
01:46:07.160 way
01:46:07.380 you
01:46:07.660 need
01:46:07.840 three
01:46:08.040 pieces
01:46:08.400 of
01:46:08.580 evidence
01:46:08.940 by
01:46:09.180 the
01:46:09.280 way
01:46:09.400 you
01:46:09.540 can't
01:46:09.800 just
01:46:09.940 go
01:46:10.120 after
01:46:10.360 the
01:46:10.520 person
01:46:10.800 with
01:46:10.980 one
01:46:11.160 piece
01:46:11.380 of
01:46:11.520 evidence
01:46:11.800 because
01:46:12.020 they'll
01:46:12.220 just
01:46:12.400 rationalize
01:46:13.040 it
01:46:13.140 away
01:46:13.380 you've
01:46:13.960 got to
01:46:14.140 collect
01:46:14.420 your
01:46:14.580 damn
01:46:14.820 evidence
01:46:15.200 it
01:46:15.360 also
01:46:15.580 works
01:46:15.860 well
01:46:16.080 in
01:46:16.220 the
01:46:16.320 workplace
01:46:16.660 or
01:46:16.940 whenever
01:46:17.160 you
01:46:17.320 have
01:46:17.460 an
01:46:17.580 argument
01:46:17.920 with
01:46:18.160 someone
01:46:18.440 one
01:46:19.860 transgression
01:46:20.500 you
01:46:20.740 ignore
01:46:21.180 two
01:46:21.940 transgressions
01:46:22.700 you
01:46:22.900 note
01:46:23.300 three
01:46:23.920 transgressions
01:46:24.740 you
01:46:24.920 communicate
01:46:25.640 and
01:46:26.300 then
01:46:26.460 it
01:46:26.800 makes
01:46:27.020 you
01:46:27.120 very
01:46:27.380 deadly
01:46:27.800 because
01:46:28.160 you
01:46:28.340 say
01:46:28.520 you
01:46:29.060 did
01:46:29.320 this
01:46:29.740 they
01:46:30.080 say
01:46:30.240 no
01:46:30.400 I
01:46:30.520 didn't
01:46:30.820 I
01:46:30.980 said
01:46:31.100 yeah
01:46:31.660 you
01:46:32.940 did
01:46:33.300 and
01:46:34.180 then
01:46:34.320 you
01:46:34.480 did
01:46:34.660 this
01:46:34.920 which
01:46:35.140 was
01:46:35.340 the
01:46:35.560 same
01:46:35.820 thing
01:46:36.260 and
01:46:36.640 then
01:46:36.760 I
01:46:36.880 didn't
01:46:37.060 even
01:46:37.240 say
01:46:37.440 anything
01:46:37.700 then
01:46:37.960 because
01:46:38.160 I'm
01:46:38.340 so
01:46:38.560 patient
01:46:39.140 and
01:46:40.020 then
01:46:40.180 you
01:46:40.380 did
01:46:40.600 this
01:46:41.220 which
01:46:41.840 was
01:46:42.040 the
01:46:42.300 same
01:46:42.620 thing
01:46:42.940 again
01:46:43.400 and
01:46:43.960 then
01:46:44.140 it's
01:46:44.540 almost
01:46:44.800 invariably
01:46:45.400 the
01:46:45.600 case
01:46:45.820 that
01:46:46.000 the
01:46:46.140 person
01:46:46.420 can't
01:46:46.780 come
01:46:46.940 up
01:46:47.140 with
01:46:47.360 enough
01:46:48.080 rationalizations
01:46:49.120 that
01:46:49.420 quickly
01:46:49.780 to
01:46:49.980 justify
01:46:50.460 doing
01:46:50.800 three
01:46:51.140 of
01:46:51.380 the
01:46:51.520 same
01:46:51.720 things
01:46:52.060 in
01:46:52.200 different
01:46:52.440 contexts
01:46:53.040 you
01:46:53.460 usually
01:46:53.780 win
01:46:54.140 if
01:46:54.320 you're
01:46:54.460 that
01:46:54.640 patient
01:46:55.020 and
01:46:55.420 that's
01:46:55.620 a good
01:46:55.800 way
01:46:55.980 of
01:46:56.120 also
01:46:56.420 dealing
01:46:56.720 with
01:46:56.920 your
01:46:57.060 resentment
01:46:57.480 but
01:46:58.400 so
01:46:58.600 I
01:46:58.740 would
01:46:58.880 say
01:46:59.200 if
01:47:00.100 you're
01:47:00.300 being
01:47:00.520 taken
01:47:00.820 advantage
01:47:01.260 of
01:47:01.560 you're
01:47:01.840 going
01:47:01.940 to
01:47:02.020 get
01:47:02.160 resentful
01:47:02.680 and
01:47:02.880 that
01:47:03.080 resentment
01:47:03.460 is
01:47:03.720 so
01:47:03.980 useful
01:47:04.380 especially
01:47:04.800 to
01:47:05.040 agreeable
01:47:05.460 people
01:47:05.740 that
01:47:05.940 you
01:47:06.060 can't
01:47:06.340 believe
01:47:06.520 it
01:47:06.620 it's
01:47:06.760 one
01:47:06.900 of
01:47:06.960 those
01:47:07.120 things
01:47:07.320 you
01:47:07.440 don't
01:47:07.640 want
01:47:07.800 to
01:47:07.900 look
01:47:08.080 at
01:47:08.240 because
01:47:08.420 it'll
01:47:08.600 hurt
01:47:08.820 your
01:47:09.020 vision
01:47:09.380 because
01:47:10.140 you
01:47:10.220 think
01:47:10.400 well
01:47:10.600 I'm
01:47:11.240 such
01:47:11.460 a
01:47:11.580 nice
01:47:11.760 person
01:47:12.120 I
01:47:12.300 can't
01:47:12.580 be
01:47:12.700 resentful
01:47:13.200 it's
01:47:13.360 like
01:47:13.480 you
01:47:13.920 are
01:47:14.080 not
01:47:14.320 that
01:47:14.600 nice
01:47:15.020 don't
01:47:15.580 kid
01:47:15.800 yourself
01:47:16.300 so
01:47:17.680 you're
01:47:17.960 not
01:47:18.360 and
01:47:18.760 so
01:47:19.280 then
01:47:20.320 you
01:47:20.480 can
01:47:20.640 consult
01:47:21.040 your
01:47:21.280 resentment
01:47:21.700 and
01:47:22.040 in
01:47:22.280 that
01:47:22.480 you
01:47:22.660 can
01:47:22.800 find
01:47:23.020 the
01:47:23.180 strength
01:47:23.460 to
01:47:23.660 defend
01:47:23.980 yourself
01:47:24.420 and
01:47:24.980 that
01:47:25.160 can
01:47:25.380 separate
01:47:25.840 you
01:47:26.120 from
01:47:26.300 people
01:47:26.580 who
01:47:26.740 will
01:47:26.880 pull
01:47:27.220 you
01:47:27.400 down
01:47:27.760 you
01:47:28.700 know
01:47:28.820 how
01:47:28.980 you
01:47:29.220 approach
01:47:30.600 someone
01:47:30.920 who's
01:47:31.160 drowning
01:47:31.520 and
01:47:31.780 panicking
01:47:32.280 like
01:47:33.880 this
01:47:34.300 right
01:47:35.780 and
01:47:36.580 so
01:47:36.720 you
01:47:36.860 come
01:47:37.020 up
01:47:37.160 to
01:47:37.260 them
01:47:37.420 and
01:47:37.520 you
01:47:37.660 say
01:47:37.960 weirdly
01:47:39.000 because
01:47:39.280 they're
01:47:39.460 drowning
01:47:39.820 you
01:47:40.480 say
01:47:40.820 calm
01:47:42.080 down
01:47:42.440 because
01:47:43.680 I'm
01:47:44.040 not
01:47:44.220 dying
01:47:44.540 with
01:47:44.800 you
01:47:45.040 right
01:47:46.520 and
01:47:47.340 then
01:47:47.480 if
01:47:47.640 they
01:47:47.760 come
01:47:47.980 and
01:47:48.160 grab
01:47:48.660 onto
01:47:48.880 you
01:47:49.020 push
01:47:49.380 them
01:47:49.560 away
01:47:49.840 because
01:47:50.480 them
01:47:50.920 dead
01:47:51.180 and
01:47:51.480 you
01:47:51.660 dead
01:47:51.980 that's
01:47:52.820 not
01:47:53.120 better
01:47:53.480 than
01:47:53.720 just
01:47:54.040 them
01:47:54.360 dead
01:47:54.740 right
01:47:56.640 right
01:47:57.340 exactly
01:47:57.920 and
01:47:58.260 so
01:47:58.460 it's
01:47:58.660 the
01:47:58.820 same
01:47:59.020 in
01:47:59.220 life
01:47:59.600 it's
01:47:59.880 like
01:48:00.120 you
01:48:00.820 know
01:48:00.960 you
01:48:01.320 dead
01:48:01.620 and
01:48:01.940 them
01:48:02.200 dead
01:48:02.440 is
01:48:02.620 not
01:48:02.820 better
01:48:03.100 than
01:48:03.260 just
01:48:03.480 them
01:48:03.780 dead
01:48:04.100 and
01:48:04.700 so
01:48:04.920 also
01:48:05.320 if
01:48:05.600 you
01:48:05.760 allow
01:48:06.080 someone
01:48:06.460 in
01:48:06.660 that
01:48:06.820 situation
01:48:07.260 to
01:48:07.460 pull
01:48:07.720 you
01:48:07.960 under
01:48:08.280 then
01:48:08.920 they
01:48:09.100 see
01:48:09.320 that
01:48:09.540 you
01:48:09.740 don't
01:48:10.000 value
01:48:10.340 yourself
01:48:10.820 enough
01:48:11.120 to
01:48:11.320 stop
01:48:11.620 yourself
01:48:11.940 from
01:48:12.160 being
01:48:12.380 pulled
01:48:12.640 under
01:48:12.900 and
01:48:13.400 that
01:48:13.600 makes
01:48:13.860 them
01:48:14.040 even
01:48:14.220 more
01:48:14.440 hopeless
01:48:14.760 about
01:48:15.060 their
01:48:15.260 own
01:48:15.440 lives
01:48:15.820 so
01:48:17.300 you
01:48:17.700 have
01:48:17.940 every
01:48:18.420 reason
01:48:18.820 to
01:48:19.060 defend
01:48:19.400 yourself
01:48:19.840 against
01:48:20.340 being
01:48:21.340 pulled
01:48:21.700 under
01:48:22.020 it's
01:48:22.500 not
01:48:22.880 helpful
01:48:23.320 and
01:48:24.140 being
01:48:24.400 nice
01:48:24.800 and
01:48:24.980 being
01:48:25.160 compassionate
01:48:25.700 and
01:48:25.900 all
01:48:26.040 of
01:48:26.180 that
01:48:26.460 save
01:48:27.240 it
01:48:27.360 for
01:48:27.520 the
01:48:27.680 babies
01:48:28.120 so
01:48:29.280 when's
01:48:40.360 the
01:48:40.440 last
01:48:40.640 time
01:48:40.800 you
01:48:40.920 got
01:48:41.100 really
01:48:41.420 drunk
01:48:41.960 oh
01:48:47.180 about
01:48:47.560 probably
01:48:48.980 a year
01:48:49.400 ago
01:48:49.720 I
01:48:50.940 have
01:48:51.140 a
01:48:51.280 friend
01:48:51.520 in
01:48:51.700 LA
01:48:52.000 and
01:48:52.620 he
01:48:52.900 likes
01:48:53.360 bourbon
01:48:53.780 and
01:48:54.000 so
01:48:54.340 we
01:48:54.800 drank
01:48:55.040 a
01:48:55.220 lot
01:48:55.620 of
01:48:55.740 it
01:48:55.920 one
01:48:56.740 night
01:48:57.020 and
01:48:57.320 I
01:48:57.500 really
01:48:57.940 enjoyed
01:48:58.440 it
01:48:58.860 but
01:49:00.080 it
01:49:00.740 wasn't
01:49:01.240 a
01:49:01.360 good
01:49:01.500 idea
01:49:01.900 like
01:49:04.000 so
01:49:04.180 many
01:49:04.380 things
01:49:04.680 that
01:49:04.860 you
01:49:04.960 really
01:49:05.200 enjoy
01:49:05.700 what
01:49:08.960 specific
01:49:09.520 thing
01:49:09.960 do you
01:49:10.360 see
01:49:10.540 as
01:49:10.740 the
01:49:10.920 biggest
01:49:11.260 threat
01:49:11.680 to
01:49:11.940 free
01:49:12.200 speech
01:49:12.620 hatred
01:49:15.200 of
01:49:15.460 the
01:49:15.640 truth
01:49:16.020 that's
01:49:17.900 that's
01:49:18.300 it
01:49:18.560 you
01:49:25.580 know
01:49:25.780 they
01:49:26.380 say
01:49:26.660 say
01:49:26.680 the
01:49:26.860 truth
01:49:27.160 will
01:49:27.400 set
01:49:27.640 you
01:49:27.820 free
01:49:28.180 and
01:49:28.420 it
01:49:28.740 certainly
01:49:29.320 will
01:49:29.640 but
01:49:29.900 like
01:49:30.660 the
01:49:32.900 question
01:49:33.280 is
01:49:33.540 do you
01:49:33.800 really
01:49:34.020 want
01:49:34.220 to
01:49:34.320 be
01:49:34.480 free
01:49:34.860 because
01:49:35.520 the
01:49:36.240 kind
01:49:36.580 of
01:49:36.740 free
01:49:37.140 that
01:49:37.440 the
01:49:37.640 truth
01:49:38.040 provides
01:49:39.200 for
01:49:39.420 you
01:49:39.600 is
01:49:39.840 a
01:49:40.040 freedom
01:49:40.420 that's
01:49:41.040 contingent
01:49:41.920 on
01:49:42.160 letting
01:49:42.460 everything
01:49:42.980 that
01:49:43.280 isn't
01:49:43.640 worthy
01:49:43.980 in
01:49:44.280 you
01:49:44.440 burn
01:49:44.960 to
01:49:45.180 the
01:49:45.360 ground
01:49:45.840 and
01:49:46.820 that's
01:49:47.140 not
01:49:47.560 pleasant
01:49:48.240 and
01:49:49.160 so
01:49:49.320 people
01:49:49.640 don't
01:49:50.420 you
01:49:50.680 know
01:49:50.800 this
01:49:51.400 perfectly
01:49:51.860 well
01:49:52.220 whenever
01:49:53.600 you
01:49:53.840 learn
01:49:54.100 something
01:49:54.480 profound
01:49:55.340 in
01:49:55.640 life
01:49:56.000 which
01:49:56.280 is
01:49:56.560 a
01:49:56.700 life
01:49:56.940 altering
01:49:57.500 revelation
01:49:58.460 let's
01:49:58.860 say
01:49:59.100 it
01:49:59.660 comes
01:49:59.880 at
01:50:00.020 a
01:50:00.140 cost
01:50:00.600 you
01:50:01.120 say
01:50:01.380 oh
01:50:01.840 I
01:50:01.980 sure
01:50:02.140 learned
01:50:02.420 that
01:50:02.660 the
01:50:02.840 hard
01:50:03.100 way
01:50:03.380 it's
01:50:03.780 like
01:50:03.940 yeah
01:50:04.120 you
01:50:04.260 learn
01:50:04.460 everything
01:50:04.860 the
01:50:05.040 hard
01:50:05.260 way
01:50:05.500 if
01:50:06.000 it's
01:50:06.160 worth
01:50:06.340 learning
01:50:06.680 you
01:50:06.840 learn
01:50:07.040 it
01:50:07.140 the
01:50:07.260 hard
01:50:07.500 way
01:50:07.760 and
01:50:08.300 so
01:50:08.460 the
01:50:08.640 truth
01:50:09.060 is
01:50:09.280 the
01:50:09.500 hard
01:50:09.900 way
01:50:10.420 and
01:50:11.700 so
01:50:11.940 of
01:50:12.180 course
01:50:12.360 people
01:50:12.660 oppose
01:50:13.140 its
01:50:13.540 expression
01:50:14.020 because
01:50:14.420 it's
01:50:14.660 the
01:50:14.840 hard
01:50:15.120 way
01:50:15.500 the
01:50:16.060 only
01:50:16.260 thing
01:50:16.520 harder
01:50:16.860 than
01:50:17.140 the
01:50:17.280 hard
01:50:17.500 way
01:50:17.740 is
01:50:18.080 the
01:50:18.660 way
01:50:18.880 that
01:50:19.100 isn't
01:50:19.960 the
01:50:20.480 truth
01:50:20.820 that's
01:50:22.140 the
01:50:22.300 problem
01:50:22.720 it's
01:50:23.100 like
01:50:23.280 it's
01:50:23.440 no
01:50:23.580 wonder
01:50:23.800 that
01:50:24.000 people
01:50:24.240 want
01:50:24.480 to
01:50:24.620 deceive
01:50:25.060 and
01:50:25.320 hide
01:50:25.740 the
01:50:26.680 problem
01:50:26.920 with
01:50:27.060 that
01:50:27.220 is
01:50:27.380 that
01:50:27.520 it's
01:50:27.700 worse
01:50:28.180 it's
01:50:29.020 worse
01:50:29.500 it's
01:50:30.180 better
01:50:30.360 to
01:50:30.520 get
01:50:30.660 the
01:50:30.840 damn
01:50:31.080 problem
01:50:31.460 out
01:50:31.680 in
01:50:31.780 the
01:50:31.840 open
01:50:32.060 right
01:50:32.300 now
01:50:32.640 and
01:50:33.160 to
01:50:33.280 confront
01:50:33.640 it
01:50:33.860 voluntarily
01:50:34.580 at
01:50:35.200 a
01:50:35.640 time
01:50:35.900 of
01:50:36.060 your
01:50:36.180 own
01:50:36.380 place
01:50:36.780 a
01:50:37.580 time
01:50:37.800 of
01:50:37.940 your
01:50:38.080 own
01:50:38.240 and
01:50:38.440 place
01:50:38.720 of
01:50:38.860 your
01:50:38.980 own
01:50:39.160 choosing
01:50:39.540 you
01:50:40.200 let
01:50:40.440 it
01:50:40.580 aggregate
01:50:41.000 because
01:50:41.520 you're
01:50:41.720 hiding
01:50:42.020 it
01:50:42.420 will
01:50:42.560 take
01:50:43.040 you
01:50:43.260 out
01:50:43.580 and
01:50:44.320 I
01:50:44.420 would
01:50:44.540 also
01:50:44.780 say
01:50:45.020 that's
01:50:45.320 another
01:50:45.580 one
01:50:45.820 of
01:50:45.940 the
01:50:46.080 most
01:50:46.320 ancient
01:50:46.680 stories
01:50:47.160 of
01:50:47.380 mankind
01:50:47.700 that's
01:50:48.180 encapsulated
01:50:48.800 in the
01:50:49.140 Mesopotamian
01:50:49.900 creation
01:50:50.400 myth
01:50:50.680 which is
01:50:51.020 the
01:50:51.180 oldest
01:50:51.460 story
01:50:51.800 that
01:50:51.980 we
01:50:52.120 have
01:50:52.440 you
01:50:53.360 let
01:50:53.640 monsters
01:50:54.220 breed
01:50:54.540 in
01:50:54.700 the
01:50:54.840 dark
01:50:55.180 small
01:50:55.960 monsters
01:50:56.500 breed
01:50:56.820 in
01:50:56.960 the
01:50:57.080 dark
01:50:57.360 they
01:50:57.900 turn
01:50:58.120 into
01:50:58.320 something
01:50:58.700 massive
01:50:59.280 and
01:50:59.500 it
01:50:59.600 will
01:50:59.740 take
01:51:00.200 you
01:51:00.400 out
01:51:00.680 and
01:51:01.440 it
01:51:01.560 wait
01:51:01.860 until
01:51:08.860 the
01:51:09.020 truth
01:51:09.340 is
01:51:09.680 it's
01:51:10.640 better
01:51:10.880 than
01:51:11.080 the
01:51:11.240 alternative
01:51:11.660 and
01:51:12.260 that's
01:51:12.540 basically
01:51:12.880 what
01:51:13.140 we've
01:51:13.400 got
01:51:13.700 so
01:51:14.500 we've
01:51:15.000 got
01:51:15.120 a
01:51:15.280 choice
01:51:15.560 between
01:51:15.920 those
01:51:16.180 two
01:51:16.400 terrors
01:51:16.920 and
01:51:17.780 so
01:51:18.080 people
01:51:19.240 who
01:51:19.480 don't
01:51:19.680 like
01:51:19.880 free
01:51:20.120 speech
01:51:20.520 they
01:51:21.240 hate
01:51:21.460 the
01:51:21.620 truth
01:51:21.920 and
01:51:22.560 it's
01:51:22.760 no
01:51:22.920 wonder
01:51:23.200 but
01:51:23.640 it's
01:51:23.820 not
01:51:24.020 helpful
01:51:24.400 so
01:51:25.380 you
01:51:32.400 know
01:51:32.520 it's
01:51:32.720 even
01:51:32.920 worse
01:51:33.240 than
01:51:33.420 that
01:51:33.600 it
01:51:33.760 isn't
01:51:33.960 even
01:51:34.120 that
01:51:34.300 they
01:51:34.440 hate
01:51:34.620 the
01:51:34.760 truth
01:51:34.960 so
01:51:35.160 much
01:51:35.360 it's
01:51:36.760 that
01:51:36.920 they
01:51:37.100 hate
01:51:37.400 the
01:51:37.600 process
01:51:38.000 by
01:51:38.240 which
01:51:38.460 the
01:51:38.660 truth
01:51:38.880 comes
01:51:39.180 to
01:51:39.360 be
01:51:39.660 because
01:51:40.840 that's
01:51:41.080 even
01:51:41.240 more
01:51:41.460 important
01:51:41.800 than
01:51:42.020 the
01:51:42.340 truth
01:51:42.820 you
01:51:43.020 know
01:51:43.120 because
01:51:43.400 what's
01:51:43.980 true
01:51:44.200 now
01:51:44.540 might
01:51:44.800 be
01:51:45.020 slightly
01:51:45.380 different
01:51:45.760 in a
01:51:46.060 week
01:51:46.340 which
01:51:46.680 is
01:51:46.800 why
01:51:46.960 you
01:51:47.080 have
01:51:47.240 to
01:51:47.360 keep
01:51:47.520 talking
01:51:47.860 to
01:51:48.040 the
01:51:48.180 person
01:51:48.440 you're
01:51:48.640 married
01:51:48.920 to
01:51:49.220 right
01:51:49.500 because
01:51:50.040 what
01:51:50.600 worked
01:51:51.340 yesterday
01:51:51.800 isn't
01:51:52.140 exactly
01:51:52.660 the
01:51:52.940 same
01:51:53.140 thing
01:51:53.340 as
01:51:53.460 it's
01:51:53.680 going
01:51:53.800 to
01:51:53.880 work
01:51:54.060 today
01:51:54.360 so
01:51:54.600 you
01:51:54.720 have
01:51:54.900 to
01:51:55.020 update
01:51:55.340 it
01:51:55.520 so
01:51:56.000 there's
01:51:56.240 this
01:51:56.440 process
01:51:56.960 of
01:51:57.220 contending
01:51:58.060 that
01:51:59.140 actually
01:51:59.480 constitutes
01:52:00.140 the
01:52:00.360 truth
01:52:00.620 as
01:52:00.860 such
01:52:01.220 because
01:52:01.420 the
01:52:01.600 truth
01:52:01.820 isn't
01:52:02.100 a
01:52:02.260 set
01:52:02.860 of
01:52:03.060 propositions
01:52:03.700 that
01:52:03.940 will
01:52:04.100 never
01:52:04.420 die
01:52:05.720 the
01:52:06.240 truth
01:52:06.480 is
01:52:06.640 a
01:52:06.960 stance
01:52:07.620 on
01:52:07.900 life
01:52:08.280 like
01:52:08.540 standing
01:52:08.980 up
01:52:09.220 straight
01:52:09.460 with
01:52:09.660 your
01:52:09.820 shoulders
01:52:10.160 back
01:52:10.520 and
01:52:10.680 people
01:52:11.340 who
01:52:11.600 are
01:52:12.160 opposed
01:52:12.560 to
01:52:12.760 free
01:52:12.980 speech
01:52:13.360 don't
01:52:13.660 like
01:52:13.860 the
01:52:14.060 stance
01:52:14.540 itself
01:52:15.080 because
01:52:15.460 it
01:52:16.000 calls
01:52:16.500 on
01:52:16.740 them
01:52:16.900 to
01:52:17.080 be
01:52:17.260 brave
01:52:17.640 and
01:52:17.800 responsible
01:52:18.360 and
01:52:18.720 they
01:52:19.200 avoid
01:52:19.640 that
01:52:20.000 and
01:52:20.720 you
01:52:20.800 say
01:52:20.940 well
01:52:21.080 why
01:52:21.260 would
01:52:21.460 you
01:52:21.560 avoid
01:52:21.840 being
01:52:22.060 brave
01:52:22.320 and
01:52:22.460 responsible
01:52:22.940 it's
01:52:23.240 like
01:52:23.400 well
01:52:23.620 because
01:52:23.880 it's
01:52:24.060 easy
01:52:24.240 to
01:52:24.400 be
01:52:24.540 lazy
01:52:24.900 and
01:52:26.240 weak
01:52:26.640 obviously
01:52:27.500 you know
01:52:28.300 doing
01:52:28.840 hard
01:52:29.180 things
01:52:29.560 is
01:52:29.760 hard
01:52:30.500 so
01:52:31.360 why
01:52:31.940 wouldn't
01:52:32.220 you
01:52:32.340 do
01:52:32.560 them
01:52:32.820 it's
01:52:33.020 like
01:52:33.160 well
01:52:33.280 that's
01:52:33.420 a
01:52:33.560 stupid
01:52:33.820 question
01:52:34.380 it's
01:52:34.680 easier
01:52:34.920 to
01:52:35.140 sit
01:52:35.580 and
01:52:35.820 do
01:52:36.000 nothing
01:52:36.440 than
01:52:36.720 to
01:52:36.920 bear
01:52:37.360 a
01:52:37.540 heavy
01:52:37.820 load
01:52:38.360 so
01:52:39.040 it's
01:52:39.540 a
01:52:39.660 nonsensical
01:52:40.260 question
01:52:40.700 but
01:52:40.920 yeah
01:52:41.500 the
01:52:41.700 real
01:52:41.920 enemies
01:52:42.240 of
01:52:42.420 free
01:52:42.620 speech
01:52:42.960 are
01:52:43.140 the
01:52:43.280 people
01:52:43.520 who
01:52:43.760 are
01:52:44.180 enemies
01:52:44.580 of
01:52:44.940 the
01:52:45.140 process
01:52:45.820 by
01:52:46.120 which
01:52:46.460 the
01:52:47.080 truth
01:52:47.320 is
01:52:47.500 revealed
01:52:47.960 it's
01:52:48.420 worse
01:52:48.680 than
01:52:48.900 even
01:52:49.100 enemies
01:52:49.400 of
01:52:49.600 the
01:52:49.740 truth
01:52:50.020 it's
01:52:50.460 worse
01:52:50.720 than
01:52:50.940 that
01:52:51.220 so
01:52:51.940 all right
01:53:00.020 let's
01:53:00.280 change
01:53:00.580 someone's

01:53:37.160 of
01:53:37.340 things
01:53:37.700 first
01:53:39.100 of
01:53:39.280 all
01:53:39.540 things
01:53:40.560 are
01:53:40.900 better
01:53:41.360 now
01:53:41.660 than
01:53:41.860 they've
01:53:42.140 ever
01:53:42.400 been
01:53:42.820 and
01:53:44.180 and
01:53:49.600 and
01:53:49.620 and
01:53:49.920 not
01:53:50.080 only
01:53:50.300 that
01:53:50.620 they're
01:53:50.860 getting
01:53:51.100 better
01:53:51.440 faster
01:53:52.040 than
01:53:52.360 they've
01:53:52.660 ever
01:53:52.900 gotten
01:53:53.300 better
01:53:53.720 so
01:53:54.520 as
01:53:55.340 terrible
01:53:55.740 as
01:53:56.000 things
01:53:56.260 are
01:53:56.500 they're
01:53:56.740 way
01:53:57.040 better
01:53:57.380 than
01:53:57.620 they
01:53:57.820 were
01:53:58.180 and
01:53:58.900 there's
01:53:59.080 every
01:53:59.340 reason
01:53:59.640 to
01:53:59.840 assume
01:54:00.180 that
01:54:00.360 that
01:54:00.540 will
01:54:00.700 continue
01:54:01.180 and
01:54:01.580 so
01:54:01.800 I
01:54:02.000 would
01:54:02.180 say
01:54:02.560 don't
01:54:03.820 despair
01:54:05.160 live
01:54:06.740 in
01:54:06.920 hope
01:54:07.280 kiddo
01:54:07.800 and
01:54:08.560 and
01:54:11.060 and
01:54:21.100 and
01:54:21.120 and
01:54:21.380 and
01:54:21.400 occupy
01:54:21.860 yourself
01:54:22.540 with
01:54:22.940 the
01:54:23.080 things
01:54:23.320 that
01:54:23.520 you
01:54:23.680 should
01:54:23.840 be
01:54:24.000 occupied
01:54:24.380 with
01:54:24.720 when
01:54:24.900 you're
01:54:25.080 eight
01:54:25.360 make
01:54:26.300 your
01:54:26.480 friends
01:54:26.920 have
01:54:27.900 your
01:54:28.060 fun
01:54:28.420 do
01:54:28.940 well
01:54:29.160 in
01:54:29.340 school
01:54:29.620 that's
01:54:29.980 how
01:54:30.080 you
01:54:30.240 contribute
01:54:30.640 to
01:54:30.840 make
01:54:31.040 thing
01:54:31.280 to
01:54:31.500 doing
01:54:31.920 things
01:54:32.300 to
01:54:32.640 making
01:54:32.880 things
01:54:33.220 better
01:54:33.540 and
01:54:34.180 don't
01:54:34.380 worry
01:54:34.600 about
01:54:34.840 things
01:54:35.140 that
01:54:35.280 are
01:54:35.380 beyond
01:54:35.660 that
01:54:35.900 at
01:54:36.040 the
01:54:36.160 moment
01:54:36.360 because
01:54:36.740 you've
01:54:37.120 got
01:54:37.280 enough
01:54:37.500 to
01:54:37.660 occupy
01:54:38.020 yourself
01:54:38.500 with
01:54:38.720 being
01:54:39.020 eight
01:54:39.320 and
01:54:39.980 that's
01:54:40.240 a
01:54:40.340 perfectly
01:54:40.620 reasonable
01:54:41.080 thing
01:54:41.360 to do
01:54:41.820 everyone
01:54:51.740 in this
01:54:52.100 room is
01:54:52.400 like
01:54:52.560 do
01:54:52.780 me
01:54:53.160 do
01:54:53.460 me
01:54:53.900 oh
01:54:56.860 as a
01:54:57.200 lefty
01:54:57.480 I like
01:54:57.760 this
01:54:57.900 one
01:54:58.100 do
01:54:58.300 left-handed
01:54:59.000 people
01:54:59.500 carry a
01:55:00.220 different
01:55:00.520 perspective
01:55:01.220 of the
01:55:01.660 world
01:55:01.980 since
01:55:02.320 their
01:55:02.520 dominant
01:55:03.040 brain
01:55:03.620 hemisphere
01:55:04.260 is rooted
01:55:05.600 in the
01:55:06.000 unconscious
01:55:06.540 no
01:55:08.300 oh
01:55:09.420 they die
01:55:11.940 more often
01:55:12.620 though
01:55:13.080 those damn
01:55:14.800 scissors
01:55:15.240 yeah it is
01:55:16.080 it is
01:55:16.420 well because
01:55:16.980 they're
01:55:17.280 because
01:55:17.640 they're in
01:55:18.000 a right-handed
01:55:18.540 world
01:55:18.940 they're more
01:55:19.360 accident prone
01:55:20.200 so
01:55:20.920 but
01:55:21.600 no there's
01:55:22.740 there's not a lot
01:55:23.520 of credible
01:55:24.040 evidence that
01:55:24.960 handedness
01:55:25.820 plays a
01:55:27.040 profound
01:55:27.440 role in
01:55:27.960 personality
01:55:28.400 there's
01:55:28.700 some
01:55:28.940 there's
01:55:29.280 some
01:55:29.460 quirks
01:55:29.940 partly
01:55:30.680 because
01:55:30.960 there's
01:55:31.200 multiple
01:55:31.540 reasons
01:55:31.940 for being
01:55:32.380 left-handed
01:55:32.960 so but
01:55:34.020 generally
01:55:34.440 what happens
01:55:35.040 is that
01:55:35.540 a right-handed
01:55:37.820 brain is
01:55:38.380 organized
01:55:38.800 this is
01:55:39.420 two hemispheres
01:55:40.180 in case
01:55:40.600 you were
01:55:40.840 wondering
01:55:41.180 a right-handed
01:55:44.700 person's brain
01:55:45.420 is organized
01:55:45.960 in a particular
01:55:46.580 manner
01:55:47.240 with certain
01:55:47.840 modules
01:55:48.560 in the right
01:55:49.200 hemisphere
01:55:49.600 and the left
01:55:50.200 hemisphere
01:55:50.640 that's the
01:55:51.700 standard
01:55:52.140 neurological
01:55:52.660 configuration
01:55:53.540 left-handed
01:55:54.460 person's brain
01:55:55.140 isn't organized
01:55:55.820 that way
01:55:56.180 but they have
01:55:56.640 the same
01:55:57.080 modules
01:55:57.600 they're just
01:55:58.040 put in
01:55:58.480 slightly
01:55:58.740 different
01:55:59.080 places
01:55:59.460 so there
01:56:00.180 isn't a
01:56:00.520 tremendous
01:56:00.860 amount
01:56:01.280 of difference
01:56:01.820 between
01:56:02.240 left-handers
01:56:03.160 and right-handers
01:56:03.800 apart from
01:56:04.300 their proclivity
01:56:05.100 to die
01:56:05.980 in accidents
01:56:06.980 more often
01:56:07.600 imagine you're
01:56:10.480 using the word
01:56:10.960 proclivity
01:56:11.600 right
01:56:12.040 unfortunate
01:56:14.180 proclivity
01:56:14.880 yeah
01:56:15.920 all right
01:56:17.480 we can do
01:56:17.840 two more
01:56:18.500 here
01:56:18.880 I've moved
01:56:20.120 farther right
01:56:20.920 over recent
01:56:21.640 years but
01:56:22.160 my wife
01:56:22.840 is still
01:56:23.620 an ardent
01:56:24.340 left-wing
01:56:24.980 feminist
01:56:25.800 somebody out
01:56:32.140 there knows
01:56:32.640 who's being
01:56:33.360 talked about
01:56:34.000 how do I
01:56:36.920 keep my
01:56:37.480 views while
01:56:38.280 avoiding
01:56:38.800 relationship
01:56:39.540 troubles
01:56:40.100 well first
01:56:42.680 you can't
01:56:43.160 avoid
01:56:43.420 relationship
01:56:43.940 troubles
01:56:44.440 so but
01:56:45.500 but look
01:56:46.440 I would
01:56:46.780 say
01:56:47.100 most of
01:56:50.680 the
01:56:50.940 proper
01:56:51.900 concerns
01:56:52.620 for an
01:56:53.380 intimate
01:56:53.720 relationship
01:56:54.380 are
01:56:54.740 intimate
01:56:55.160 concerns
01:56:55.920 right
01:56:57.200 so
01:56:57.800 so
01:56:58.760 it isn't
01:57:01.520 obvious to
01:57:02.560 me
01:57:02.840 how much
01:57:04.240 the political
01:57:04.880 has to enter
01:57:05.800 the local
01:57:07.000 I think
01:57:08.500 I think
01:57:08.520 what you
01:57:09.160 try to
01:57:09.520 do is
01:57:09.860 to solve
01:57:10.960 the problems
01:57:11.600 that directly
01:57:12.320 confront you
01:57:12.960 it's like
01:57:13.360 look
01:57:14.180 when I'm
01:57:15.080 helping
01:57:15.420 someone
01:57:15.960 straighten out
01:57:16.680 their marriage
01:57:17.360 let's say
01:57:17.860 we do
01:57:18.520 very mundane
01:57:19.240 things
01:57:20.100 you know
01:57:20.760 we first
01:57:22.720 of all
01:57:22.940 try to
01:57:23.260 calculate
01:57:23.700 what do
01:57:25.620 you actually
01:57:26.040 do together
01:57:27.100 as a
01:57:27.600 couple
01:57:27.900 and this
01:57:29.360 is
01:57:29.580 you know
01:57:29.980 people think
01:57:30.460 well we go
01:57:30.920 to movies
01:57:31.460 we go to
01:57:31.980 plays
01:57:32.340 we go to
01:57:32.820 see friends
01:57:33.400 I don't care
01:57:34.540 about any
01:57:34.940 of that
01:57:35.360 that's not
01:57:35.880 relevant
01:57:36.280 you hardly
01:57:36.740 ever do
01:57:37.140 that
01:57:37.440 that's
01:57:37.860 irrelevant
01:57:38.320 what I'm
01:57:39.660 wondering
01:57:40.060 is
01:57:40.520 what
01:57:42.520 when
01:57:43.780 what
01:57:44.980 what
01:57:45.580 interrelationships
01:57:47.100 do you have
01:57:47.500 that constitute
01:57:48.060 the bulk
01:57:48.540 of your
01:57:48.840 usage of
01:57:49.380 time
01:57:49.740 well that's
01:57:51.260 easy
01:57:51.420 you eat
01:57:51.880 together
01:57:52.320 you do
01:57:53.600 that every
01:57:53.920 day
01:57:54.260 it's like
01:57:55.400 there's five
01:57:56.080 hours a day
01:57:56.800 it's right
01:57:57.220 it's 35
01:57:58.180 hours a week
01:57:59.000 so that's a
01:58:00.380 whole work
01:58:00.820 week every
01:58:01.400 week that
01:58:02.920 you eat
01:58:03.480 together
01:58:03.840 and so
01:58:05.520 that's
01:58:06.160 let's see
01:58:07.720 40 hours a
01:58:08.400 week
01:58:08.600 it's
01:58:09.300 160
01:58:09.960 hours
01:58:10.500 well
01:58:13.180 we'll leave
01:58:14.300 it at that
01:58:14.780 it's a
01:58:15.220 major
01:58:15.480 well
01:58:16.040 I can't do
01:58:17.320 the math
01:58:17.660 at the moment
01:58:18.040 because I'm
01:58:18.360 a bit tired
01:58:18.880 but it's
01:58:20.420 a third
01:58:20.860 of your
01:58:21.160 bloody life
01:58:21.880 you're only
01:58:22.260 awake for
01:58:22.740 16 hours
01:58:23.460 a day
01:58:23.880 you spend
01:58:24.700 a third
01:58:24.960 of your
01:58:25.200 life
01:58:25.440 eating
01:58:25.700 with your
01:58:26.080 spouse
01:58:26.480 get it
01:58:27.100 right
01:58:27.460 so what
01:58:28.940 else
01:58:29.240 you come
01:58:29.960 home
01:58:30.300 every day
01:58:30.960 that takes
01:58:31.820 10 minutes
01:58:32.720 somebody meets
01:58:33.660 you at the
01:58:34.020 door
01:58:34.300 or not
01:58:34.940 how does
01:58:35.500 that go
01:58:36.000 did they
01:58:36.300 meet you
01:58:36.560 at the
01:58:36.760 door
01:58:36.880 nicely
01:58:37.380 have you
01:58:38.320 got that
01:58:38.620 figured out
01:58:39.140 it's
01:58:39.320 10 minutes
01:58:39.840 a day
01:58:40.120 it's
01:58:40.300 an hour
01:58:40.580 a week
01:58:40.980 it's
01:58:41.180 four hours
01:58:41.660 a month
01:58:42.040 it's
01:58:42.340 50 hours
01:58:43.220 a year
01:58:43.520 it's
01:58:43.700 one
01:58:43.900 work
01:58:44.200 week
01:58:44.460 you spend
01:58:44.960 one
01:58:45.240 work
01:58:45.540 week
01:58:45.740 a year
01:58:46.160 getting
01:58:47.080 greeted
01:58:47.560 at the
01:58:48.020 door
01:58:48.360 have you
01:58:49.300 got that
01:58:49.680 down
01:58:50.100 have you
01:58:50.660 figured out
01:58:50.980 how to
01:58:51.140 go shopping
01:58:51.740 together
01:58:52.220 it's like
01:58:53.000 there are
01:58:53.600 things you
01:58:54.020 do together
01:58:54.600 that are
01:58:55.360 mundane
01:58:55.900 things
01:58:56.420 so those
01:58:56.820 are the
01:58:57.040 things you
01:58:57.380 do every
01:58:57.740 day
01:58:58.100 but they're
01:58:58.800 your whole
01:58:59.220 life
01:58:59.660 you get
01:59:00.360 those things
01:59:00.800 together
01:59:01.220 and then
01:59:02.320 don't worry
01:59:02.680 about the
01:59:03.020 political
01:59:03.280 stuff
01:59:03.780 it's
01:59:04.620 secondary
01:59:05.020 so I
01:59:06.160 would say
01:59:06.540 and it'll
01:59:07.420 fix the
01:59:07.860 political
01:59:08.120 stuff
01:59:08.440 anyways
01:59:08.840 if you
01:59:09.580 get all
01:59:09.840 that local
01:59:10.280 stuff
01:59:10.620 set out
01:59:11.520 right
01:59:11.700 so that
01:59:12.080 your meals
01:59:13.040 together
01:59:13.480 are enjoyable
01:59:14.120 and you've
01:59:14.700 distributed
01:59:15.980 the
01:59:16.320 domestic
01:59:16.880 duties
01:59:17.300 so that
01:59:17.620 you're
01:59:17.720 both
01:59:17.920 happy
01:59:18.300 about
01:59:18.600 it
01:59:18.800 that's
01:59:19.240 a war
01:59:19.640 man
01:59:20.000 you try
01:59:20.580 to do
01:59:20.860 that
01:59:21.060 that's
01:59:21.320 a war
01:59:21.840 you get
01:59:22.660 to do
01:59:22.940 everybody
01:59:23.300 laughs
01:59:23.840 it's like
01:59:24.220 yeah it's
01:59:24.520 a war
01:59:24.800 we haven't
01:59:25.340 solved
01:59:25.740 yet
01:59:26.060 it's like
01:59:26.380 no kidding
01:59:27.000 no kidding
01:59:28.380 there's a
01:59:29.840 Canadian
01:59:30.180 poet
01:59:30.640 Leonard Cohen
01:59:31.360 he has a
01:59:31.780 famous song
01:59:32.560 about the
01:59:33.460 homicidal
01:59:34.160 bitching
01:59:34.760 that goes
01:59:35.220 down in
01:59:35.640 every
01:59:35.860 kitchen
01:59:36.320 about who
01:59:36.880 is going
01:59:37.260 to serve
01:59:37.840 and who
01:59:38.180 is going
01:59:38.520 to eat
01:59:39.000 it's like
01:59:39.640 yeah no
01:59:40.120 kidding
01:59:40.480 it's a
01:59:41.080 bloody
01:59:41.360 really it's
01:59:42.340 an absolute
01:59:42.800 minefield
01:59:44.700 you know
01:59:45.520 and so
01:59:45.880 and that's
01:59:46.260 because
01:59:46.560 people haven't
01:59:47.520 talked it
01:59:48.020 through
01:59:48.300 it's like
01:59:48.800 well how do
01:59:49.800 you want
01:59:50.080 the meal
01:59:50.360 time to
01:59:50.740 go
01:59:50.860 do you
01:59:51.060 want to
01:59:51.260 be at
01:59:51.580 each other's
01:59:52.080 throats
01:59:52.420 metaphysically
01:59:53.160 or do you
01:59:53.840 want to
01:59:54.040 sit down
01:59:54.400 and have
01:59:54.680 a lovely
01:59:54.980 meal
01:59:55.380 and every
01:59:55.980 day
01:59:56.220 because you're
01:59:56.540 going to
01:59:56.640 do it
01:59:56.840 three
01:59:57.020 times
01:59:57.480 it's like
01:59:57.820 well what
01:59:58.100 are the
01:59:58.260 preconditions
01:59:58.840 for having
01:59:59.280 a lovely
01:59:59.640 meal
01:59:59.940 everybody
02:00:00.600 isn't
02:00:01.180 feeling
02:00:01.520 oppressed
02:00:02.160 yeah
02:00:03.460 yeah no
02:00:06.500 kidding
02:00:06.880 you know
02:00:07.300 and so
02:00:08.120 but it's
02:00:08.480 not so
02:00:08.820 easy to
02:00:09.220 have a
02:00:09.520 meal
02:00:09.720 in
02:00:09.920 peace
02:00:10.300 it's
02:00:11.140 not so
02:00:11.620 easy
02:00:12.000 and you
02:00:12.920 can think
02:00:13.180 well there's
02:00:13.540 the fundamental
02:00:14.120 political
02:00:15.740 problem
02:00:16.360 how do
02:00:17.020 you have
02:00:17.440 a meal
02:00:17.940 in peace
02:00:18.720 solve that
02:00:19.820 man
02:00:20.160 you've got
02:00:20.820 one third
02:00:21.480 of your
02:00:21.780 life fixed
02:00:22.460 if you
02:00:22.780 solve that
02:00:23.460 and so
02:00:24.560 really
02:00:25.040 you really
02:00:25.520 do
02:00:25.800 it's
02:00:26.020 really
02:00:26.520 hard
02:00:26.960 to solve
02:00:27.800 right
02:00:29.160 because it
02:00:29.600 means you
02:00:30.000 have to
02:00:30.360 have
02:00:30.560 consciously
02:00:31.320 sorted
02:00:31.940 out
02:00:32.300 the
02:00:33.040 hierarchy
02:00:33.700 of
02:00:33.940 responsibilities
02:00:34.680 between
02:00:35.220 the
02:00:35.460 sexes
02:00:35.920 in the
02:00:36.280 household
02:00:36.740 it's
02:00:37.680 like
02:00:37.800 good luck
02:00:38.380 taking
02:00:38.720 that on
02:00:39.160 yourself
02:00:39.620 you know
02:00:40.600 because there
02:00:41.040 used to
02:00:41.400 be
02:00:41.540 gendered
02:00:42.040 roles
02:00:42.320 to deal
02:00:42.760 with
02:00:42.960 that
02:00:43.240 now
02:00:43.880 there
02:00:44.060 aren't
02:00:44.440 so
02:00:45.040 what
02:00:45.220 do
02:00:45.300 people
02:00:45.520 do
02:00:45.840 they
02:00:46.380 fight
02:00:46.860 stupidly
02:00:47.700 that's
02:00:48.460 what
02:00:48.580 they
02:00:48.740 do
02:00:49.020 and the
02:00:49.920 alternative
02:00:50.320 to that
02:00:50.780 is to
02:00:51.040 actually
02:00:51.500 negotiate
02:00:52.200 every
02:00:52.680 damn
02:00:53.040 detail
02:00:53.580 who
02:00:54.420 buys
02:00:54.780 what
02:00:55.200 who
02:00:55.640 does
02:00:55.860 the
02:00:56.040 groceries
02:00:56.500 who
02:00:56.880 does
02:00:57.100 the
02:00:57.300 shop
02:00:57.660 sorry
02:00:58.060 who
02:00:58.440 does
02:00:58.860 the
02:00:59.000 groceries
02:00:59.400 who
02:00:59.880 prepares
02:01:00.260 the
02:01:00.460 meals
02:01:00.760 when
02:01:01.200 do
02:01:01.340 they
02:01:01.480 prepare
02:01:01.800 the
02:01:02.000 meals
02:01:02.300 what's
02:01:02.920 that
02:01:03.120 worth
02:01:03.400 in
02:01:03.560 terms
02:01:03.840 of
02:01:04.020 trade
02:01:04.300 off
02:01:04.500 for
02:01:04.720 other
02:01:05.100 for

02:02:17.220 couple
02:02:17.380 months

02:02:17.860 yeah
02:02:18.000 yeah
02:02:18.260 yeah
02:02:18.540 so
02:02:18.800 we
02:02:18.940 announced
02:02:19.260 20
02:02:19.620 more
02:02:19.860 American
02:02:20.440 cities

02:02:21.280 so
02:02:21.680 yeah
02:02:22.620 so
02:02:30.380 but
02:02:30.560 I
02:02:30.740 think
02:02:31.200 I
02:02:31.400 think
02:02:31.980 we're
02:02:32.840 because
02:02:33.240 my
02:02:33.440 wife
02:02:33.700 is
02:02:33.880 traveling
02:02:34.200 with
02:02:34.460 me
02:02:34.620 and
02:02:34.740 is
02:02:34.920 very
02:02:35.120 very
02:02:35.320 helpful
02:02:35.640 in
02:02:35.880 all
02:02:36.040 of
02:02:36.160 this
02:02:36.400 so
02:02:37.180 yeah
02:02:44.100 well
02:02:44.340 that's
02:02:44.700 something
02:02:44.960 too
02:02:45.220 because
02:02:45.500 she's
02:02:45.780 actually
02:02:46.100 on
02:02:46.360 board
02:02:46.620 with
02:02:46.840 this
02:02:47.080 you
02:02:47.220 know
02:02:47.360 and
02:02:47.520 some
02:02:47.740 of
02:02:47.860 that's
02:02:48.060 a
02:02:48.160 consequence
02:02:48.560 of
02:02:48.820 having
02:02:49.060 had
02:02:49.280 a
02:02:49.860 very
02:02:50.080 large
02:02:50.400 number
02:02:50.700 of
02:02:50.880 fights
02:02:51.200 I'm
02:02:52.440 serious
02:02:53.000 man
02:02:53.300 like
02:02:53.520 hundreds
02:02:53.880 of
02:02:54.120 them
02:02:54.340 but
02:02:54.860 they
02:02:55.020 were
02:02:55.600 fights
02:02:57.000 with
02:02:57.260 a
02:02:57.400 purpose
02:02:57.680 and
02:02:57.920 the
02:02:58.080 purpose
02:02:58.580 was
02:02:58.860 so
02:02:59.080 that
02:02:59.240 we
02:02:59.420 could
02:02:59.620 fight
02:03:00.340 it
02:03:00.480 out
02:03:00.640 until
02:03:00.840 we
02:03:01.380 had
02:03:01.540 a
02:03:01.680 solution
02:03:01.980 so
02:03:02.200 we
02:03:02.340 didn't
02:03:02.520 have
02:03:02.680 to
02:03:02.800 fight
02:03:02.960 about
02:03:03.180 that
02:03:03.380 thing
02:03:03.580 anymore
02:03:03.920 and
02:03:04.560 the
02:03:04.700 solution
02:03:05.040 was
02:03:05.300 that
02:03:05.440 one
02:03:05.960 we
02:03:06.120 jointly
02:03:06.460 agreed
02:03:06.900 on
02:03:07.140 and
02:03:07.800 so
02:03:07.940 one
02:03:08.100 of
02:03:08.160 the
02:03:08.260 consequences
02:03:08.820 of
02:03:09.100 that
02:03:09.400 and
02:03:10.380 that's
02:03:10.900 taken
02:03:11.180 a
02:03:11.360 very
02:03:11.520 long
02:03:11.780 time
02:03:12.080 and
02:03:12.220 it's
02:03:12.400 never
02:03:13.120 ending
02:03:13.400 process
02:03:14.080 you know
02:03:14.620 because
02:03:14.900 you
02:03:15.460 encounter
02:03:15.940 complex
02:03:16.480 things
02:03:16.800 when
02:03:16.980 you're
02:03:17.140 a
02:03:17.280 couple
02:03:17.520 and
02:03:17.800 the
02:03:18.340 solutions
02:03:18.740 to
02:03:18.980 them
02:03:19.100 aren't
02:03:19.280 obvious
02:03:19.680 and
02:03:19.960 one
02:03:20.200 person
02:03:20.480 thinks
02:03:20.720 one
02:03:20.920 thing
02:03:21.120 and
02:03:21.220 the
02:03:21.320 other
02:03:21.460 person
02:03:21.760 thinks
02:03:22.020 another
02:03:22.260 thing
02:03:22.520 and
02:03:22.660 who
02:03:22.980 the
02:03:23.100 hell
02:03:23.240 knows
02:03:23.540 who's
02:03:24.200 right
02:03:24.520 so
02:03:25.060 you
02:03:25.760 have
02:03:25.940 to
02:03:26.040 have
02:03:26.160 a
02:03:26.300 struggle
02:03:26.560 about
02:03:26.880 it
02:03:27.020 and
02:03:27.140 you
02:03:27.260 have
02:03:27.420 to
02:03:27.540 come
02:03:27.700 up
02:03:27.840 with
02:03:27.960 a
02:03:28.080 consensus
02:03:28.540 and
02:03:28.820 it's
02:03:28.980 really
02:03:29.200 hard
02:03:29.560 but
02:03:30.920 I'll
02:03:31.440 tell
02:03:31.620 you
02:03:31.820 a couple
02:03:32.400 of
02:03:32.560 the
02:03:32.680 advantages
02:03:33.160 to
02:03:33.940 that
02:03:34.240 that
02:03:34.980 have
02:03:35.120 been
02:03:35.280 advantages
02:03:35.760 to
02:03:36.060 me
02:03:36.440 so
02:03:37.120 because
02:03:37.600 we'd
02:03:38.300 sorted
02:03:38.540 out
02:03:38.760 we've
02:03:39.000 been
02:03:39.140 married
02:03:39.360 almost
02:03:39.660 30
02:03:39.940 years
02:03:40.240 now
02:03:40.560 and
02:03:40.760 we've
02:03:43.180 had
02:03:43.440 our
02:03:43.700 fights
02:03:44.620 about
02:03:44.940 many
02:03:45.760 many
02:03:46.000 things
02:03:46.380 but
02:03:46.740 always
02:03:47.340 made
02:03:47.640 peace
02:03:48.060 because
02:03:48.400 it
02:03:48.560 doesn't
02:03:48.760 matter
02:03:49.000 if
02:03:49.180 you
02:03:49.280 fight
02:03:49.620 you
02:03:50.920 have
02:03:51.160 to
02:03:51.340 fight
02:03:51.620 what
02:03:52.500 matters
02:03:52.860 is
02:03:53.080 whether
02:03:53.820 or not
02:03:54.000 you
02:03:54.120 make
02:03:54.320 peace
02:03:54.620 as a
02:03:54.920 consequence
02:03:55.260 of
02:03:55.520 the
02:03:55.640 fight
02:03:55.880 that's
02:03:56.440 what
02:03:56.560 matters
02:03:56.940 and
02:03:57.340 to
02:03:57.460 make
02:03:57.660 peace
02:03:57.960 is
02:03:58.100 to
02:03:58.240 come
02:03:58.400 to
02:03:58.520 a
02:03:58.640 negotiated
02:03:59.100 solution
02:03:59.660 and
02:04:00.420 so
02:04:00.520 we
02:04:00.660 came
02:04:00.860 to
02:04:01.000 a
02:04:01.120 negotiated
02:04:01.580 solution
02:04:02.080 about
02:04:02.380 a lot
02:04:02.660 of
02:04:02.800 things
02:04:03.180 and
02:04:03.860 some
02:04:04.080 of
02:04:04.180 that
02:04:04.360 was
02:04:04.660 really
02:04:04.860 helpful
02:04:05.200 because
02:04:05.640 we
02:04:06.420 had
02:04:06.580 done
02:04:06.760 that
02:04:06.980 my
02:04:07.300 daughter
02:04:07.560 got
02:04:07.780 really
02:04:08.020 ill
02:04:08.300 for
02:04:08.500 about
02:04:08.720 five
02:04:09.080 years
02:04:09.420 and
02:04:09.660 it
02:04:09.840 was
02:04:09.980 an
02:04:10.180 absolute
02:04:10.600 bloody
02:04:10.980 catastrophe
02:04:11.580 but
02:04:12.360 we
02:04:12.840 weren't
02:04:13.280 at
02:04:13.520 each
02:04:13.760 other's
02:04:14.180 throat
02:04:14.500 during
02:04:14.960 it
02:04:15.220 and
02:04:16.260 thank
02:04:16.620 god
02:04:16.960 because
02:04:17.260 it
02:04:17.560 would
02:04:17.680 have
02:04:17.800 sunk
02:04:18.040 us
02:04:18.360 for
02:04:19.380 sure
02:04:19.700 because
02:04:20.120 we
02:04:20.280 were
02:04:20.420 pushed
02:04:20.720 right
02:04:20.980 to
02:04:21.140 our
02:04:21.300 limit
02:04:21.560 and
02:04:22.040 had
02:04:22.240 we
02:04:22.420 had
02:04:22.780 300
02:04:24.580 unresolved
02:04:25.560 fights
02:04:26.120 we
02:04:26.820 would
02:04:26.980 have
02:04:27.060 been
02:04:27.220 done
02:04:27.800 and
02:04:28.840 so
02:04:29.060 and
02:04:29.220 then
02:04:29.420 in
02:04:30.460 the
02:04:30.580 last
02:04:30.800 two
02:04:31.000 years
02:04:31.260 when
02:04:31.420 all
02:04:31.560 this
02:04:31.700 political
02:04:32.040 stuff
02:04:32.460 emerged
02:04:33.040 it's
02:04:33.260 been
02:04:33.420 quite
02:04:33.640 the
02:04:33.840 chaotic
02:04:34.180 mess
02:04:34.940 and
02:04:35.700 we
02:04:36.580 but
02:04:37.060 we
02:04:37.500 had
02:04:37.780 things
02:04:38.140 in
02:04:38.280 our
02:04:38.420 family
02:04:38.800 pretty
02:04:39.280 sorted
02:04:39.800 out
02:04:40.140 and
02:04:41.200 because
02:04:41.640 of
02:04:41.840 that
02:04:42.140 we
02:04:42.880 weren't
02:04:43.200 at
02:04:43.400 each
02:04:43.620 other's
02:04:43.980 throats
02:04:44.320 while
02:04:44.560 all
02:04:44.820 of
02:04:44.980 this
02:04:45.180 political
02:04:45.620 stuff
02:04:46.060 came
02:04:46.420 down
02:04:46.700 and
02:04:47.040 at
02:04:47.320 the
02:04:47.500 same
02:04:47.700 time
02:04:47.940 that
02:04:48.120 happened
02:04:48.440 I
02:04:48.600 had
02:04:48.800 a lot
02:04:49.000 of
02:04:49.120 health
02:04:49.360 problems
02:04:49.880 and
02:04:50.100 so
02:04:50.340 now
02:04:52.780 there was
02:04:54.080 a reason
02:04:54.360 I was
02:04:54.620 telling you
02:04:55.020 all this
02:04:55.280 it was
02:04:55.500 related to
02:04:55.980 what I
02:04:56.200 was
02:04:56.340 doing
02:04:56.560 next
02:04:56.980 so
02:05:00.300 anyway
02:05:00.680 so
02:05:00.940 we've
02:05:01.160 been
02:05:01.280 able to
02:05:01.700 pursue
02:05:02.880 this
02:05:03.240 tour
02:05:03.540 that
02:05:03.820 was
02:05:04.160 the
02:05:04.320 whole
02:05:04.480 point
02:05:05.300 of
02:05:05.460 this
02:05:05.700 and
02:05:05.860 to
02:05:05.960 add
02:05:06.180 these
02:05:06.380 20
02:05:06.640 cities
02:05:06.980 and
02:05:09.800 I
02:05:10.180 wouldn't
02:05:10.440 be
02:05:10.560 able
02:05:10.700 to
02:05:10.840 do
02:05:11.000 this
02:05:11.380 without
02:05:12.040 her
02:05:12.560 help
02:05:13.000 and
02:05:13.580 she
02:05:13.780 wouldn't
02:05:14.000 be
02:05:14.120 able
02:05:14.200 to
02:05:14.260 help
02:05:14.480 me
02:05:14.760 unless
02:05:15.800 we
02:05:16.040 had
02:05:16.200 got
02:05:16.440 things
02:05:16.940 sorted
02:05:17.300 out
02:05:17.560 because
02:05:17.840 she's
02:05:18.180 been
02:05:18.360 able
02:05:18.560 to
02:05:18.740 throw
02:05:18.960 her
02:05:19.180 full
02:05:19.460 support
02:05:19.900 behind
02:05:20.520 all
02:05:20.860 of
02:05:21.000 this
02:05:21.200 and
02:05:21.640 that
02:05:21.800 was
02:05:21.940 necessary
02:05:22.460 in
02:05:22.720 order
02:05:22.860 to
02:05:23.040 do
02:05:23.180 it
02:05:23.300 right
02:05:23.560 so
02:05:24.020 that
02:05:24.180 was
02:05:24.340 all
02:05:24.500 real
02:05:24.720 useful
02:05:25.180 we
02:05:25.860 haven't
02:05:26.320 figured
02:05:26.600 out
02:05:26.940 yeah
02:05:27.320 that
02:05:27.540 was
02:05:27.720 it
02:05:27.920 because
02:05:28.320 I
02:05:28.440 said
02:05:28.680 we
02:05:28.980 we
02:05:29.620 haven't
02:05:30.200 figured
02:05:30.520 out
02:05:30.880 what
02:05:31.260 we're
02:05:39.800 certainly
02:05:40.580 uncharted
02:05:41.120 territory
02:05:41.540 for me
02:05:42.140 it's
02:05:42.360 like
02:05:42.540 what
02:05:42.900 the
02:05:43.040 hell
02:05:43.200 are
02:05:43.320 all
02:05:43.460 you
02:05:43.580 people
02:05:43.820 doing
02:05:44.140 here
02:05:44.460 you
02:05:46.960 know
02:05:47.100 it's
02:05:47.360 not
02:05:47.600 obvious
02:05:48.040 at
02:05:48.400 all
02:05:48.760 none
02:05:49.080 of
02:05:49.180 this
02:05:49.340 is
02:05:49.480 obvious
02:05:49.920 and
02:05:50.280 so
02:05:50.500 it
02:05:51.040 seems
02:05:51.380 to
02:05:51.560 me
02:05:51.780 though
02:05:51.980 that
02:05:52.180 like
02:05:52.500 I'm
02:05:52.680 enjoying
02:05:53.060 these
02:05:53.360 talks
02:05:53.760 and
02:05:53.920 the
02:05:54.020 audience
02:05:54.320 seems
02:05:54.600 to
02:05:54.740 be
02:05:54.880 enjoying
02:05:55.240 them
02:05:55.500 and
02:05:56.060 you
02:05:56.320 seem
02:05:56.500 to
02:05:56.620 be
02:05:56.760 enjoying
02:05:57.100 them
02:05:57.320 and
02:05:57.500 so
02:05:57.760 we're
02:05:58.480 going
02:05:58.580 to
02:05:58.660 keep
02:05:58.820 doing
02:05:59.120 that
02:05:59.440 because
02:05:59.800 it
02:06:00.140 looks
02:06:00.380 like
02:06:00.620 a
02:06:00.740 good
02:06:00.880 thing
02:06:01.280 and
02:06:01.560 so
02:06:09.800 oh
02:06:10.920 and
02:06:12.000 and
02:06:12.520 one
02:06:12.700 other
02:06:12.900 thing
02:06:13.180 I
02:06:13.660 am
02:06:13.860 definitely
02:06:14.740 assuming
02:06:15.460 that
02:06:15.700 I'm
02:06:15.940 I
02:06:16.180 don't
02:06:16.420 expire
02:06:16.980 before
02:06:17.440 it
02:06:17.620 happens
02:06:17.980 I'm
02:06:18.640 definitely
02:06:19.020 going
02:06:19.480 to
02:06:19.660 go
02:06:19.840 back
02:06:20.140 to
02:06:20.360 the
02:06:20.740 biblical
02:06:21.320 lectures
02:06:21.820 because
02:06:22.060 I'm
02:06:22.260 going
02:06:22.440 to
02:06:22.600 do
02:06:22.780 so
02:06:27.480 I'm
02:06:28.240 going to
02:06:28.820 start
02:06:29.120 with the
02:06:29.620 exodus
02:06:30.180 stories
02:06:30.800 in
02:06:31.100 November
02:06:31.540 that's
02:06:32.000 the
02:06:32.140 plan
02:06:32.420 at
02:06:32.640 the
02:06:32.740 moment
02:06:32.940 I'm
02:06:33.160 really
02:06:33.320 looking
02:06:33.580 forward
02:06:33.860 to
02:06:34.020 that
02:06:34.140 I
02:06:34.280 don't
02:06:34.500 think
02:06:34.700 there's
02:06:34.920 anything
02:06:35.220 more
02:06:35.600 important
02:06:37.260 if
02:06:38.380 anything
02:06:38.740 that I'm
02:06:39.180 doing
02:06:39.400 is
02:06:39.600 important
02:06:39.980 I
02:06:40.180 don't
02:06:40.400 think
02:06:40.620 there's
02:06:40.840 anything
02:06:41.120 more
02:06:41.420 important
02:06:41.820 than
02:06:42.060 continuing
02:06:42.540 those
02:06:42.820 biblical
02:06:43.140 lectures
02:06:43.600 because
02:06:43.980 I've
02:06:44.580 really
02:06:44.800 learned
02:06:45.120 a lot
02:06:45.680 from
02:06:45.920 doing
02:06:46.220 it
02:06:46.400 and
02:06:46.660 they
02:06:47.600 seem
02:06:47.900 to be
02:06:48.360 useful
02:06:48.840 to
02:06:49.060 people
