00:00:00.960 Hey everyone, real quick before you skip, I want to talk to you about something serious and important.
00:00:06.480 Dr. Jordan Peterson has created a new series that could be a lifeline for those battling depression and anxiety.
00:00:12.740 We know how isolating and overwhelming these conditions can be, and we wanted to take a moment to reach out to those listening who may be struggling.
00:00:20.100 With decades of experience helping patients, Dr. Peterson offers a unique understanding of why you might be feeling this way in his new series.
00:00:27.420 He provides a roadmap towards healing, showing that while the journey isn't easy, it's absolutely possible to find your way forward.
00:00:35.360 If you're suffering, please know you are not alone. There's hope, and there's a path to feeling better.
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.
00:00:51.040 Welcome to Season 3, Episode 12 of the Jordan B. Peterson Podcast.
00:01:01.360 I'm Mikayla Peterson, Jordan's daughter.
00:01:03.780 I hope you enjoy this episode. It's called The Great Sacrifice, Abraham and Isaac.
00:01:08.680 We're still in Serbia. Dad's going to be back producing actual interview podcasts soon enough.
00:01:14.640 But, for now, if you're interested in checking out my podcast, I'm releasing interviews every Tuesday.
00:01:21.080 Last Tuesday was a podcast with my good friend Christopher Williamson on life hacks, simple things you can change to massively improve your productivity.
00:01:29.320 They're not nearly as intense as these lectures, but I like them.
00:01:32.900 You can just Google The Mikayla Peterson Podcast and episodes to show up on YouTube or wherever you listen to podcasts.
00:01:38.780 I hope you have a good week. Enjoy the episode.
00:01:41.180 Everyone is stressed these days.
00:01:45.640 Stress can have very serious effects on your health and can lead to a shorter lifespan and healthspan.
00:01:50.820 Your healthspan is the number of years you can live without disease as you age.
00:01:54.740 Dad and I have been improving our healthspan by getting NAD treatments.
00:01:58.320 In our case, these treatments have also resulted in improved moods and energy levels,
00:02:02.180 and I've been getting an energetic buzzing feeling in a good way.
00:02:05.660 The only downside is that these treatments involve being hooked up to an IV for eight hours.
00:02:09.660 If you don't have the time or patience for that, a great alternative is a supplement called Basis, produced by the company Elysium.
00:02:17.100 Basis works by increasing your NAD levels and activating what scientists call our longevity genes.
00:02:22.900 Many of the benefits of increased NAD are things you won't feel like enhanced mitochondrial function, active longevity genes, and improved DNA repair.
00:02:30.980 But Basis customers also report experiencing higher energy, better sleep, and more satisfying workouts.
00:02:36.340 Plus, it's easy. Just take two capsules a day to improve the way you age.
00:02:41.340 Listeners can get 10% off of a monthly subscription to Basis by visiting trybasis.com slash Jordan and using the promo code Jordan10.
00:02:50.340 That's trybasis.com slash Jordan and the promo code Jordan10.
00:02:56.180 That's a great deal on a groundbreaking supplement.
00:02:58.240 Season 3, episode 12, The Great Sacrifice, Abraham and Isaac, a Jordan B. Peterson lecture.
00:03:12.800 Thank you. Thank you.
00:03:15.400 So, I've been thinking about things that I'm happy about, and what I'm most happy about so far is that I haven't spilled my bubbly water into my computer so far while I've been doing these lectures.
00:03:26.980 That's always. I'll probably do it tonight now that I'm bragging about having avoided it.
00:03:31.220 So, thank you all for coming.
00:03:33.220 This is the last lecture in this 12-part series.
00:03:36.440 I did mention that I have made arrangements with the theatre at least to do this once a month for the next four months, and we'll see.
00:03:43.320 We'll play it by year past then.
00:03:44.660 I want to continue, and I'll find another venue, and perhaps to do it every two weeks, but certainly once a month.
00:03:49.740 And maybe I can even get deeper into the material if it's only once a month, so that would be...
00:03:54.400 Then we'll really slow down to a snail's crawl.
00:03:56.700 So, this is a tough one tonight.
00:04:00.620 You know, it's something, a story that everyone with any sense should approach with a substantial degree of trepidation.
00:04:06.340 I've been working on my book this week on chapter 7, which is called Do What is Meaningful, Not What's Expedient.
00:04:14.840 And it's really, it's been a very difficult chapter, because I'm coming to, I'm trying to extend my understanding of sacrifice, which is, of course, what we're going to talk about tonight in great detail.
00:04:30.060 And I've been wrestling with exactly how to do that, and I'm going to read you some of that, I think, today.
00:04:35.600 I don't generally read when I do my lectures, but this is so complicated that I'm not confident of my ability to just spin it off, you know, sort of, what would you call it?
00:04:45.840 Spontaneously, that's the word.
00:04:48.260 And so, and it'll also give me a chance to test out whether what I've written, which I've been struggling with, has the kind of poetic flow that I'd like to have.
00:04:56.800 If you're writing, it's really good to read things aloud, you know, because you can tell if you've got the rhythmic cadence right then.
00:05:02.820 So, anyways, thank you all for coming.
00:05:06.100 Many of you have, I believe, attended all 12 lectures, and that's really remarkable.
00:05:10.680 It's amazing that, you know, this place has been full every single lecture.
00:05:15.180 It's completely unbelievable, that would be the case.
00:05:17.460 And, you know, about more than 2 million views have, this has been watched more than 2 million views.
00:05:23.200 It's not 2 million people, because it would be the same people, I would suspect, many times.
00:05:27.260 But that's also crazy.
00:05:29.080 But it's a crazy world, and it seems to be getting crazier.
00:05:32.140 So, hopefully this is some addition to stabilizing it and making it slightly more sane.
00:05:38.720 That's the hope, anyways.
00:05:40.560 So, we've got a couple of stories to deal with tonight.
00:05:45.380 Complex, complex stories.
00:05:48.240 Not really easy to comprehend in any sense of the word.
00:05:52.100 I mean, with the story of Isaac, God calls on his chosen individual, Abraham, the person he's made this contract with, to sacrifice his son.
00:06:02.420 And it's, how in the world are you supposed to make any sort of sensible sense out of that?
00:06:07.440 It's exactly that sort of story that makes modern people who are convinced that the faster we put the biblical stories behind us, the better.
00:06:15.420 It's grist for their mill, you know, because it seems like such an incomprehensible and even barbaric act on the part of God.
00:06:22.580 And so, you know, I hesitate to even approach it, because, well, because there's so many ways that an interpretation of that sort can go wrong.
00:06:32.820 But we'll see how it goes.
00:06:33.980 And so, let's walk through it and see what happens.
00:06:36.940 So, we're going to start with the story of Sarah and Isaac.
00:06:40.740 And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said.
00:06:43.400 You remember when Abraham was in the midst of his appropriate sacrificial routines, which we've characterized as his return to the contract he made with the idea of the good, the contract with God.
00:06:56.340 He was informed by God that he would get what he most wanted, which was an error, despite his advanced old age.
00:07:03.140 And, of course, Sarah was very skeptical about that, as she had every reason to be.
00:07:07.100 But this story opens with the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham.
00:07:12.560 And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said.
00:07:14.960 And the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
00:07:17.900 For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
00:07:25.260 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
00:07:31.180 And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac, being eight days old, as God commanded him, had commanded him.
00:07:36.680 And Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born unto him.
00:07:42.040 And Sarah said, God hath made me laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.
00:07:50.180 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham that Sarah should have given children suck?
00:07:54.580 For I've borne him a son in his old age.
00:07:56.760 And the child grew and was weaned.
00:07:58.460 And Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.
00:08:02.480 I suppose one of the purposes, let's say, perhaps the literary purposes of this story,
00:08:08.920 is to exaggerate for dramatic purposes the importance of a child.
00:08:16.120 You know, when people are young, and I think this is particularly true in the modern world,
00:08:22.720 they seem to often regard the possibility of having a child as an impediment to their lifestyle.
00:08:31.060 You know, and of course, in some ways, I suppose that's true.
00:08:35.120 Although you have to have quite a lifestyle before a child actually constitutes an impediment.
00:08:40.360 Because having a child in your life is actually something that's remarkable, almost beyond belief.
00:08:45.660 You know, you can have a relationship with a child that is better than any relationship you've ever had with anyone in your life.
00:08:51.580 If you're careful, and if you're fortunate.
00:08:55.100 Being fortunate helps.
00:08:57.400 You know, I've seen many people delay having children.
00:09:01.260 And for understandable reasons, it's no simple decision to have a child.
00:09:04.380 And of course, now we can make the decision to have a child, which of course people couldn't in past ages, really.
00:09:10.180 But sometimes you see people delay, and they delay too long, and then they don't get to have a child.
00:09:14.120 And then they're desperate, and you know, they spend a decade doing fertility treatments, or that sort of thing.
00:09:19.140 And immersing themselves in one disappointment after another.
00:09:21.960 And it's just at that point, you see exactly how catastrophic it is.
00:09:25.620 It can be how catastrophic it can be for people not to have one of the, not to be able to undergo one of the great adventures of life, let's say.
00:09:37.000 And one of the things this story does by delaying the arrival of Isaac, and delaying the arrival of Isaac continually, is to exaggerate the important significance of the child.
00:09:50.020 Because it isn't until you're deprived of something, it's truly not until you're deprived of something, that you have any sense of what its value is.
00:09:57.180 And Isaac was waiting, or Abraham was waiting a very long time, a hundred years is a very long time.
00:10:02.460 And the same with Sarah.
00:10:03.640 And so they're unbelievably excited.
00:10:05.440 And of course, this also heightens the drama that's inherent in the entire sacrificial story.
00:10:10.640 Because it's not only that eventually that Abraham is called upon to sacrifice Isaac, which would be bad enough under any other, any circumstances whatsoever, self-evidently.
00:10:20.180 But the fact that he's been waiting a century for the arrival of this child desperately, and made all the proper sacrifices, and lived in the appropriate manner to allow this to occur, dramatically heightens the literary tension.
00:10:36.000 Now you remember, Hagar, this is the next part of the story, Hagar was Sarah's handmaid.
00:10:45.760 And when Sarah was unable to bear Abraham a child, she sent him Hagar, and Hagar immediately got pregnant, and gave birth to Ishmael.
00:10:57.140 And the story picks up from that point here.
00:11:00.600 And this is quite interesting.
00:11:01.740 I mentioned the other week, when I was talking to you guys a couple of weeks in a row, just how interesting it has been to scour the internet for the paintings that are associated with these stories.
00:11:11.820 There's just a, there's an amazing wealth of great paintings that illustrate every single bit of the, of every single biblical story.
00:11:20.540 And it's, it's, it's, it's really been enlightening to me to find out just exactly how poorly educated I am.
00:11:26.440 You know, like I, I, I'm a, I'm a, what would you say, I'm, I'm a great admirer of, of artistic talent, and of artistic endeavor.
00:11:35.340 But, there's so much I don't know about the history of art, that it's just absolutely beyond belief.
00:11:39.920 And to see this treasure trove of images that I really had no idea that existed.
00:11:45.540 Of course, they're spread all over the world, and it's only been in recent years that you could have access to them in this way.
00:11:50.720 Just, it's just a, it's a, it's a, it's a constant revelation of the depth to which these stories have absolutely permeated our culture.
00:12:00.380 And the loss that it would be if we didn't know them properly, and, and take them with the degree of seriousness that they deserve.
00:12:07.580 So, anyways, this is one of those great images.
00:12:10.680 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had borne unto Abraham, mocking.
00:12:17.980 Wherefore, she said unto Abraham, cast out this bondswoman and her son, for the son of this bondswoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
00:12:26.380 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
00:12:29.660 There's been quite a bit of tension between Abraham, or between Sarah and Hagar, as you could imagine there might be.
00:12:35.660 Why wouldn't there be?
00:12:36.980 I mean, first of all, Hagar had the first child, and, and that elevated her status, and she was Sarah's maid, handmaid.
00:12:43.300 And so, that's obviously going to be quite awkward.
00:12:45.320 And then, she, she lorded it over Sarah because of the fact that she got pregnant so easily.
00:12:52.040 And now we see this situation where Ishmael is doing the same thing with regards to Isaac.
00:12:58.940 And that causes a substantial amount of trouble.
00:13:02.720 The family, there's a familial division occurring here.
00:13:05.660 And God said unto Abraham, let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad and because of the bondwoman,
00:13:12.860 in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice, for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
00:13:18.980 And, but also of the son of the bondwoman, will I make a nation because he is thy seed?
00:13:23.760 That's, so that's it, that's an interesting outcome too.
00:13:26.160 You know, we, we pointed out before, we discussed before the fact that because Abraham has made, has lived his life properly and has kept the contract with God, there's every evidence in the story that no matter what the vicissitudes of Abraham's life, you know, how the great serpent that he sits on in some sense weaves back and forth.
00:13:46.160 There's always the promise that things will work out positively and, you know, you could read that as naive optimism.
00:13:52.740 But I think it has a lot more to do with the actual power of keeping the contractual agreement.
00:13:59.680 Because I really do believe, and I've spent a tremendous amount of time thinking about this over the last couple of weeks in addition to the decades before that, is that, and all that's happened since I've been doing these biblical lectures is that my conviction in this has been strengthened, which is quite interesting, is that if you, if you do what it is that you're called upon to do,
00:14:19.660 which is to lift your eyes up above the mundane, daily, selfish, impulsive issues that might beset you and attempt to enter into a contractual relationship with that which you might hold in the highest regard, whatever that might be, to aim high and to make that important above all else in your life, that that fortifies you against the vicissitudes of existence like nothing else can.
00:14:45.080 And I truly believe that that's the most practical advice that you can possibly, that you could possibly receive.
00:14:53.560 You know, I received, I was answering questions last night, I did this Q&A, which I do about once a month for the people who are supporting me on Patreon, which I also release on YouTube, and somebody asked, you know, they were struggling with their religious faith, and they asked what they could do about that.
00:15:10.540 And I'd also been thinking about the difference between Nietzsche and Dostoevsky, which I'll discuss in a minute, and I was trying to answer this question with regards to religious faith, because he, this person was shaky in his faith in life, let's say, which is a better way of thinking about it.
00:15:28.100 And it seems to me that the way that you fortify your faith in being, and in life, in your own existence, isn't to try to convince yourself of the existence of a transcendent power, that you could believe in the same way that you believe in a set of empirical facts.
00:15:43.540 I don't think that's the right approach. I think it's a weak approach, actually.
00:15:48.380 I don't think that the cognitive technology, I don't think that's the right cognitive technology for that set of problems, you know, that's more technology that you'd use if you were trying to solve a scientific problem.
00:15:59.600 It's more like, it's more something that needs to be embedded in action, rather than in statable belief.
00:16:06.820 And the way that you fortify your faith in life is to assume the best, something like that, and then to act courageously in relationship to that.
00:16:14.800 And that's tantamount to expressing your faith in the highest possible good. It's tantamount to expressing your faith in God.
00:16:22.760 And it's not a matter of stating, well, I believe in the existence of a transcendent deity, because in some sense, who cares what you believe?
00:16:31.000 I mean, you might in all that, but that's not the issue. It's not the issue. The issue, it seems to me, is how you act.
00:16:37.580 And I was thinking about this intensely when I was thinking about Nietzsche and Dostoevsky, because, of course, you know that Nietzsche was the philosopher who announced the death of God, right?
00:16:46.980 And who was a great, great critic of Christianity, a vicious critic of institutional Christianity, in the best sense, you know?
00:16:53.840 And he announced the death of God, and he said that we'd never find enough water to wash away the blood.
00:16:59.300 It wasn't a triumphant proclamation, even though it's often read that way.
00:17:02.760 And Nietzsche's conclusion from that, from the death of God, the fact that our ethical systems were going to collapse when the foundation was pulled out from underneath them,
00:17:12.980 he believed that human beings would have to find their own values, to create their own values.
00:17:17.620 And there's a problem with that, because it doesn't seem, this is something Carl Jung was very thorough in investigating,
00:17:23.300 it doesn't really look like people are capable of creating their own values, because you're not really capable of moulding yourself just any old way you want to be.
00:17:31.680 Like, you have a nature that you have to contend with, and so, it isn't a matter of creating our own values, because we don't have that capacity.
00:17:39.480 It might be a matter of rediscovering those values, which is what Jung was attempting to do.
00:17:44.940 Now, and so I think Nietzsche was actually profoundly wrong in that recommendation.
00:17:50.980 I think he was psychologically wrong.
00:17:52.340 Now, you know, Dostoevsky wrote, in many ways, in parallel to Nietzsche, and was a great influence on Nietzsche.
00:17:59.860 Their lives parallel each other to a degree that's somewhat miraculous, in some sense, it's quite uncanny.
00:18:05.940 Dostoevsky was obviously a literary figure, whereas Nietzsche was a philosopher, a literary philosopher, but still a philosopher.
00:18:12.560 Dostoevsky wrestled with exactly the same problems that Nietzsche wrestled with, but he did it in a different way.
00:18:20.840 He did it in a literary manner, and he has this great book, The Brothers Karamazov, and in that book, the hero of the book is really Eliosha, who's a monastic novitiate.
00:18:30.680 A very good guy, kind of, not an intellect, not an intellect, but a person of great character, you know, but he has a brother, Ivan, who's his older brother, who's a great intellect, and a very handsome soldier, and a brave man, and like Dostoevsky's villains, Ivan isn't exactly a villain, but that's close enough.
00:18:48.320 Ivan, or Dostoevsky, makes his villains extraordinarily powerful, so if Dostoevsky's trying to work out an argument, he clothes the argument in the flesh of one of his characters,
00:18:58.960 and if it's an argument he doesn't agree with, then he makes that character as strong as he possibly can, as strong and as attractive and intelligent as he possibly can,
00:19:07.320 and then he lets him just have at her, and so Ivan is constantly attacking Eliosha, and from every direction, trying to knock him off his perch of faith, let's say,
00:19:17.240 and Eliosha can't address a single one of Ivan's criticisms, and he doesn't have the intellect for it, and Ivan has a devastating intellect.
00:19:27.080 It's devastating to him, himself, as well. What happens in the brothers Karamazov, essentially, is that Eliosha continues to act out his commitment to the good, let's say,
00:19:38.020 and in that manner, he's triumphant. It doesn't matter that he loses the arguments, because the arguments aren't exactly the point.
00:19:43.980 The arguments, in some sense, are a side issue, because the issue is, and this is the existential issue, the issue is not what you believe,
00:19:51.460 as if it's a set of facts, but how you conduct yourself in the world, and so Dostoevsky, he grasped that, and it's one of the things that makes him such an amazing,
00:20:00.280 amazing literary figure, an amazing genius, because he was smart enough to formulate the arguments in a manner that no one else really could,
00:20:09.240 with the possible exception of Nietzsche, and that's quite an exception, and yet he could still,
00:20:13.380 using his dramatic embodiment, he could still lay out solutions to the problems that he was describing,
00:20:20.220 that are extremely compelling, and both Crime and Punishment, which is an amazing, thrilling, engrossing book,
00:20:28.880 and the brothers Karamazov, all of Dostoevsky's great books, really circulate around those profound moral issues,
00:20:35.300 and so I've learned a tremendous amount from reading him, so,
00:20:40.700 And God said unto Abraham,
00:20:42.460 Let it not be grievous in thy sight, because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman, and all that Sarah hath said unto thee,
00:20:47.340 hearken unto her voice, for in Isaac shall thy seed be called,
00:20:52.840 and also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed,
00:20:57.320 all right, so I commented that Abraham is being blessed in multiple directions,
00:21:01.360 even when things are going wrong, and this is pretty bad, because his family, in some sense, is breaking up,
00:21:06.420 there's this emphasis in the text, that because he's kept this contractual relationship with God,
00:21:12.060 that he's in an ark, we could say it that, we could put it that way,
00:21:15.760 and that he'll triumph through the vicissitudes of life, which is the best you can hope for,
00:21:21.500 and it's quite interesting, again, one of the things that's so powerful about the Abrahamic stories,
00:21:25.540 is that it's not like Abraham, even though he's chosen by God,
00:21:28.320 it's not like he has an easy time of it, he has a rough life, I mean, it's a successful life,
00:21:31.980 and all that, but it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not without its troubles, that's for sure,
00:21:37.560 it's got every sort of trouble you could possibly imagine, pretty much,
00:21:40.340 and that's one of the things that makes the story so realistic, as far as I'm concerned.
00:21:45.620 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water,
00:21:49.460 and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away,
00:21:54.260 and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
00:22:00.080 I found the, it's funny, I guess this had more of an emotional impact on me this week,
00:22:05.300 than it might have, because my daughter just had a baby a week ago,
00:22:07.820 and so I've been thinking about this sort of thing, you know,
00:22:11.400 and we're so happy that that's happened,
00:22:13.640 and I was trying to put myself in the, what would you say,
00:22:17.080 the conceptual space of the people about who this story,
00:22:20.640 or people who these stories are about, and trying to, you know,
00:22:24.640 notice the catastrophe that this sort of breakup would actually constitute,
00:22:28.920 and, you know, and the visual images really helped with that,
00:22:31.900 because they're, they're so carefully crafted,
00:22:34.220 and, and they hit the story from so many different directions,
00:22:38.280 that, you know, they add that, an additional layer of,
00:22:41.500 of emotional meaning to it, which I found very, very significant.
00:22:44.140 And the water was spent in the bottle,
00:22:47.240 and she cast the child under one of the shrubs,
00:22:50.040 and she's sent to wander in the desert, you know,
00:22:52.220 so it's not just that she has to leave Abraham's household,
00:22:55.480 it's that where she goes is not really amenable to life,
00:22:59.460 and so it's, it's extraordinarily dramatic, and, and, and terrible tale.
00:23:05.500 And she went and sat her down over against him a good way off,
00:23:09.400 as it were a bow shot,
00:23:10.580 for she said, let me not see the death of the child.
00:23:14.440 And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.
00:23:19.800 And God heard the voice of the lad,
00:23:21.720 and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven,
00:23:24.760 and said unto her,
00:23:26.220 What aileth thee, Hagar?
00:23:28.820 Fear not,
00:23:30.040 for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
00:23:34.540 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand,
00:23:37.460 for I will make him a great nation.
00:23:40.960 And God opened her eyes,
00:23:42.380 and she saw a well of water,
00:23:43.900 and she went and filled the bottle with water,
00:23:46.440 and gave the lad drink.
00:23:52.220 And God was with the lad,
00:23:53.580 and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness,
00:23:55.240 and became an archer.
00:23:56.900 And that's actually a relevant detail, too,
00:23:59.440 the fact that he became an archer,
00:24:00.900 because I think I mentioned to you at one point
00:24:03.320 that the word sin is derived from a Greek word,
00:24:05.700 hamartia, even though it sounds nothing like that word,
00:24:07.660 and hamartia is actually an archery term,
00:24:11.520 and it means to miss the bullseye.
00:24:15.540 And that's a lovely metaphor for sin, I think,
00:24:18.980 because it's associated so tightly with the idea of goal direction and aim.
00:24:24.320 You know, because there's a metaphorical idea that's embedded in that image,
00:24:30.280 and that is that, you know,
00:24:31.420 a human being is something that specifies a target,
00:24:34.700 which we do all the time with our eyes, by the way.
00:24:36.600 I mean, our eyes are target-specifying mechanisms.
00:24:39.560 You know, we have very precise, central focal vision,
00:24:42.460 and we use our focal vision to target the aim of our behavior.
00:24:46.180 And so we are aiming creatures.
00:24:48.480 It's built right into our body.
00:24:51.320 We're built on a hunting platform.
00:24:53.120 We're aiming creatures,
00:24:54.180 and we do that cognitively as well as behaviorally.
00:24:56.800 And so, as hunters,
00:24:58.540 we take aim at things,
00:24:59.480 and we take aim at moving targets,
00:25:00.820 and we're very good at bringing them down,
00:25:02.160 and we've been doing that for who knows how long,
00:25:04.780 millions of years, really.
00:25:06.200 Even chimpanzees are carnivorous, by the way,
00:25:08.420 and we split from them about six million years ago.
00:25:10.520 So we've been hunting and aiming for a very, very long period of time,
00:25:14.660 and we still have aims in our life, right?
00:25:16.920 And that's how we describe them.
00:25:18.000 What are you aiming at, or what are your aims?
00:25:19.620 What are your goals?
00:25:20.820 What's your target?
00:25:22.100 It's all based on that hunting metaphor.
00:25:25.040 And the fact that Ishmael becomes an archer
00:25:27.880 means that he's someone who can take aim
00:25:29.940 at the center of the bullseye
00:25:31.440 and hit it precisely.
00:25:33.720 And so that's an indication that he's a good man, right?
00:25:38.200 So, and I suppose also part of the,
00:25:42.600 part of, it carries part of the narrative weight of the story
00:25:45.320 because, of course, he's Abraham's son,
00:25:46.900 and you'd expect Abraham's son to be someone
00:25:48.680 who's very good at taking aim.
00:25:50.460 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran,
00:25:52.580 and he could live there and survive,
00:25:54.000 which is no trivial thing.
00:25:55.960 And his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
00:25:58.280 Okay, so that's the story of Hagar,
00:26:01.900 and it's a fairly straightforward story.
00:26:03.420 It's complex emotionally, but it doesn't,
00:26:06.060 and it brings up the terrible theme of familial catastrophe
00:26:10.120 and the complications of romantic and familial relationships
00:26:14.480 and all of that.
00:26:15.600 But it really serves as a prodroma to the next story,
00:26:19.280 which is the one that's so complex
00:26:21.280 and so difficult to understand.
00:26:25.700 And it came to pass after these things
00:26:28.000 that God did tempt Abraham,
00:26:31.740 which is a funny thing for God to do, I suppose,
00:26:34.500 and said unto him,
00:26:36.040 Abraham,
00:26:37.260 and he said,
00:26:38.080 Behold, here I am.
00:26:40.480 And God said,
00:26:41.760 Take now thy son,
00:26:44.100 thine only son Isaac,
00:26:45.380 who thou lovest,
00:26:46.220 and get thee into the land of Moriah,
00:26:49.340 and offer him there for a burnt offering
00:26:51.160 upon one of the mountains,
00:26:52.860 which I will tell thee of.
00:26:54.940 And Abraham rose up early in the morning
00:26:56.580 and saddled his ass
00:26:57.540 and took two of his young men with him
00:26:58.940 and Isaac his son
00:27:00.180 and claved the wood for the burnt offering
00:27:02.340 and rose up
00:27:02.920 and went unto the place
00:27:03.940 of which God had told him.
00:27:06.980 Then on the third day of journeying,
00:27:08.760 Abraham lifted up his eyes
00:27:09.860 and saw the place afar off.
00:27:12.320 And Abraham said unto his young men,
00:27:13.920 Abide ye here with the ass
00:27:16.180 and I and the lad will go yonder and worship
00:27:18.660 and come again to you.
00:27:24.840 It's really one of the first times
00:27:26.800 that we've come across the word worship,
00:27:28.580 if I remember correctly.
00:27:29.540 And it's a very difficult word to contend with too.
00:27:32.840 You know,
00:27:34.020 if you're like me
00:27:35.740 or if you're like me when I was a kid,
00:27:37.280 because I haven't thought about this for a long time,
00:27:39.060 it was never really obvious to me
00:27:40.420 why God would want to be worshipped.
00:27:41.900 You know,
00:27:42.380 if you go to church
00:27:43.260 and you offer up your praise and thanks to God
00:27:46.080 and you think,
00:27:47.120 well,
00:27:47.440 really,
00:27:47.920 does that make a lot of sense?
00:27:49.400 It's like,
00:27:49.800 why in the world is that what he wants?
00:27:51.480 It's like,
00:27:52.120 it's almost like you're
00:27:53.640 you're kneeling down in front of an
00:27:55.840 of an ancient Middle Eastern,
00:27:58.900 you know,
00:27:59.300 tyrannical emperor
00:28:00.320 and
00:28:01.120 and
00:28:01.220 and vowing your submission
00:28:02.700 and
00:28:03.020 and
00:28:03.280 that never sat well with me
00:28:06.200 and I suppose it doesn't sit well with many people
00:28:08.320 and I think that's because
00:28:09.360 it's not the proper way of conceptualizing it.
00:28:12.420 What happens when you see
00:28:13.700 what Abraham does continually
00:28:15.240 and this seems to be implicit
00:28:16.900 in the use of the word worship
00:28:19.160 in this particular situation
00:28:21.300 is that,
00:28:22.360 you know,
00:28:22.600 as we discussed,
00:28:23.940 he has an adventure in his life
00:28:25.700 that comes to an end.
00:28:26.580 So there's an episode in his life
00:28:27.900 that comes to an end
00:28:28.580 and then there's a period of
00:28:29.560 you might consider it
00:28:31.160 where he reconstitutes himself
00:28:33.500 to some degree
00:28:34.260 and it's,
00:28:35.300 that's when he makes his sacrifices
00:28:36.600 and it seems to me
00:28:37.760 that it's that reconstitution
00:28:39.200 that constitutes the worship.
00:28:40.640 The worship is something like
00:28:41.660 you know,
00:28:42.540 this is alluding back
00:28:43.660 to my original proposition
00:28:44.960 that it's how you act
00:28:45.960 that's the issue
00:28:46.660 and the worship is
00:28:47.980 the decision to
00:28:49.380 enact the good
00:28:50.800 in whatever form it is
00:28:51.980 that you can conceptualize it
00:28:53.220 as well as
00:28:53.740 trying to continually
00:28:55.180 reconceptualize the good
00:28:56.520 in a manner that makes
00:28:57.720 the good that you're conceptualizing
00:28:59.140 even that much better,
00:29:00.340 right?
00:29:00.500 Because when you start aiming
00:29:02.160 the probability
00:29:03.220 that you're going to be aiming
00:29:04.200 in the right direction
00:29:05.140 is very low
00:29:05.980 but hypothetically
00:29:07.700 as you aim
00:29:08.500 and as you practice
00:29:09.320 and as you learn
00:29:10.140 the target is going to shift
00:29:12.320 in front of your eyes
00:29:13.820 and you're going to be able
00:29:14.460 to follow it ever more clearly
00:29:15.800 and so,
00:29:16.620 and that seems to me
00:29:17.480 and especially
00:29:18.480 given the context
00:29:19.700 that this word is used
00:29:20.980 in this particular story
00:29:22.160 is much more
00:29:22.960 appropriate interpretation
00:29:24.360 of what constitutes
00:29:25.420 proper worship
00:29:26.180 and I suppose it's akin
00:29:27.260 to the later Christian idea
00:29:29.140 that it's the imitation of Christ
00:29:31.220 that's the sacred duty
00:29:32.320 of every Christian
00:29:33.740 of every Christian
00:29:35.340 and every human being
00:29:37.120 I suppose
00:29:37.620 insofar as that's
00:29:38.900 an archetypal idea
00:29:39.800 and the idea is something like
00:29:41.760 well it's the embodiment
00:29:43.480 of the good
00:29:44.760 that's the issue
00:29:45.720 and it's not your stated
00:29:47.520 belief in the good
00:29:48.640 and you know
00:29:49.400 when Nietzsche was
00:29:50.180 criticizing Christianity
00:29:51.380 this is actually
00:29:52.160 one of the things
00:29:52.860 that he brought up
00:29:53.540 as a major issue
00:29:54.600 he said that he believed
00:29:55.560 Christianity had lost its way
00:29:57.080 because it had introduced
00:29:58.740 a confusion
00:29:59.500 between stated belief
00:30:01.320 which is say
00:30:01.940 your belief
00:30:02.400 in the divinity of Christ
00:30:03.440 whatever it means
00:30:04.460 if you state that
00:30:05.340 it isn't obvious
00:30:06.140 what it means
00:30:06.920 when you state that
00:30:08.040 because it isn't obvious
00:30:09.020 what it would mean
00:30:10.060 that you believe it
00:30:10.700 or even what it is
00:30:11.580 that you're believing in
00:30:12.700 as far as Nietzsche was concerned
00:30:14.440 in some sense
00:30:15.080 not only was that
00:30:15.820 beside the point
00:30:16.560 it was dangerously
00:30:17.500 beside the point
00:30:18.260 because it actually
00:30:19.140 allowed
00:30:20.720 the Christian believer
00:30:22.720 not to adopt
00:30:24.440 the moral burden
00:30:25.320 that was actually
00:30:26.020 appropriate
00:30:26.520 to the faith
00:30:27.580 which was
00:30:28.100 to
00:30:28.680 and this is
00:30:29.540 I'm using a kind of
00:30:30.500 a Jungian concept here
00:30:32.800 to manifest the archetype
00:30:34.580 within the confines
00:30:35.440 of your own life
00:30:36.380 and that's to make
00:30:37.560 the divine
00:30:38.180 that your relationship
00:30:39.400 with the divine
00:30:40.020 your relationship
00:30:40.600 with the transcendent
00:30:41.560 and infinite
00:30:42.000 into something
00:30:43.000 that's actually
00:30:43.980 realizable
00:30:44.760 in the context
00:30:45.860 of your own life
00:30:46.700 which is to say
00:30:47.360 well
00:30:47.620 you know
00:30:48.260 you're supposed to
00:30:49.000 you're supposed to
00:30:50.100 again
00:30:50.520 to act out
00:30:51.200 the highest good
00:30:51.920 of which you're capable
00:30:52.860 now that'll transform
00:30:53.800 your life
00:30:54.260 to some degree
00:30:54.860 into an archetypal
00:30:55.680 adventure
00:30:56.140 there's no way
00:30:56.980 around that
00:30:57.580 because as you
00:30:58.680 attempt to
00:30:59.480 climb a higher
00:31:01.040 mountain
00:31:01.440 let's say
00:31:01.900 or to aim
00:31:02.420 at a higher
00:31:02.860 target
00:31:03.280 or something
00:31:03.640 like that
00:31:04.080 then the things
00:31:04.940 around you
00:31:05.380 will become
00:31:05.900 increasingly
00:31:06.880 dramatic
00:31:07.720 and of import
00:31:08.880 that happens
00:31:09.760 by necessity
00:31:10.480 obviously
00:31:11.200 because if you're
00:31:12.280 aiming at something
00:31:13.020 difficult and profound
00:31:14.560 and you're really
00:31:15.440 working at it
00:31:16.120 then your life
00:31:17.020 is going to become
00:31:17.820 perhaps increasingly
00:31:18.880 difficult and profound
00:31:20.080 but that might be
00:31:20.840 okay
00:31:21.140 that might be
00:31:21.940 exactly what you need
00:31:22.920 as an antidote
00:31:24.780 to the implicit
00:31:25.560 limitations
00:31:26.600 that face you
00:31:27.380 as a human being
00:31:28.280 and so
00:31:29.500 and I and the lad
00:31:32.680 will go yonder
00:31:33.320 and worship
00:31:33.780 and come again
00:31:34.440 to you
00:31:34.720 now
00:31:34.960 there's an implication
00:31:36.080 here too
00:31:36.720 that it's a
00:31:37.740 foreshadowing
00:31:38.400 that Abraham
00:31:39.460 offering up his son
00:31:40.920 is actually a form
00:31:41.840 of worship
00:31:42.280 and that it's
00:31:43.440 continuous
00:31:43.880 with what he's
00:31:44.680 already done
00:31:45.380 and well
00:31:46.740 now I'm going to
00:31:47.300 read you some
00:31:47.840 of the things
00:31:48.260 that I've written
00:31:49.100 and then I'll
00:31:49.820 return to this
00:31:50.520 and we'll see
00:31:50.960 how that goes
00:31:51.600 so life is
00:31:55.440 suffering
00:31:55.900 that's clear
00:31:57.920 there's no more
00:31:59.780 basic irrefutable
00:32:00.820 truth
00:32:01.340 it's basically
00:32:02.680 as we've seen
00:32:04.100 what God tells
00:32:05.260 Adam and Eve
00:32:05.920 immediately before
00:32:07.580 he kicks them
00:32:08.140 out of paradise
00:32:08.840 quote
00:32:10.660 unto the woman
00:32:11.400 he said
00:32:11.800 I will greatly
00:32:12.360 multiply thy sorrow
00:32:13.440 and thy conception
00:32:14.240 in sorrow
00:32:15.380 thou shalt
00:32:16.520 bring forth
00:32:17.160 children
00:32:17.580 and thy desire
00:32:19.360 shall be to thy husband
00:32:20.980 and he shall rule
00:32:21.820 over thee
00:32:22.260 and unto Adam
00:32:23.160 he said
00:32:23.680 because you have
00:32:25.020 hearkened
00:32:25.380 unto the voice
00:32:26.220 of thy wife
00:32:26.900 and hast eaten
00:32:27.620 of the tree
00:32:28.140 which I commanded
00:32:28.860 thee saying
00:32:29.420 thou shalt not
00:32:30.420 eat of it
00:32:30.960 cursed is the ground
00:32:32.380 for thy sake
00:32:33.100 in sorrow
00:32:34.180 shalt thou eat
00:32:35.560 of it
00:32:36.040 all the days
00:32:36.860 of thy life
00:32:37.480 thorns also
00:32:38.440 and thistles
00:32:39.040 shall it bring
00:32:39.880 forth to thee
00:32:40.540 and thou shalt
00:32:42.080 eat the herb
00:32:42.720 of the field
00:32:43.300 by the sweat
00:32:44.280 of your brow
00:32:44.840 you will eat
00:32:45.260 your food
00:32:45.660 until you return
00:32:46.320 to the ground
00:32:46.860 since from it
00:32:47.520 you were taken
00:32:48.060 for dust you are
00:32:49.280 and to dust
00:32:49.840 you will return
00:32:50.660 rough
00:32:52.540 you know
00:32:54.040 and we've associated
00:32:54.860 that with
00:32:55.540 with Adam and Eve's
00:32:57.500 eyes opening
00:32:58.320 and them becoming
00:32:59.700 self-conscious
00:33:00.380 and discovering
00:33:01.180 the future
00:33:01.740 and becoming
00:33:02.640 fully aware
00:33:03.340 and falling into history
00:33:04.840 and it seems to me
00:33:06.060 to be a very realistic
00:33:07.100 existential portrayal
00:33:08.560 of the predicament
00:33:09.380 of humankind
00:33:10.580 what in the world
00:33:12.540 should be done
00:33:13.080 about that
00:33:13.680 the simplest
00:33:15.640 most obvious
00:33:16.580 and most direct
00:33:17.940 answer
00:33:18.500 pursue pleasure
00:33:20.560 follow your impulses
00:33:22.820 live for the moment
00:33:23.820 do what's expedient
00:33:25.560 lie
00:33:26.900 cheat
00:33:27.320 steal
00:33:27.740 deceive
00:33:28.380 manipulate
00:33:29.080 but don't get caught
00:33:30.360 in an ultimately
00:33:32.120 meaningless universe
00:33:33.080 what possible difference
00:33:34.300 could it make
00:33:34.840 and this is by no means
00:33:36.940 a new idea
00:33:37.600 the fact of life's tragedy
00:33:39.560 and the suffering
00:33:40.180 that is part of it
00:33:40.880 has been used
00:33:41.460 to justify
00:33:42.100 the pursuit
00:33:43.100 of immediate
00:33:43.680 selfish gratification
00:33:44.920 for a very long time
00:33:46.580 even reading Jung
00:33:49.260 he often writes
00:33:51.100 as if
00:33:51.480 before
00:33:52.020 the rise
00:33:53.980 of the conflict
00:33:54.620 between religion
00:33:55.320 and science
00:33:55.900 which culminated
00:33:57.140 say in Nietzsche's
00:33:57.840 pronouncement
00:33:58.320 about the death
00:33:58.860 of God
00:33:59.260 that people lived
00:34:00.760 ensconced
00:34:02.000 quite safely
00:34:02.840 within a religious
00:34:03.580 conceptualization
00:34:04.560 that imbued their life
00:34:05.440 with meaning
00:34:05.840 and that that was
00:34:06.560 just the state
00:34:08.060 of reality
00:34:08.660 but there's ancient
00:34:09.620 writings that makes
00:34:10.380 it quite clear
00:34:10.940 that the crisis
00:34:11.980 of faith
00:34:12.580 that characterized
00:34:13.380 say modern people
00:34:14.140 were certainly
00:34:15.060 far from unknown
00:34:16.080 in the past
00:34:16.680 and here's
00:34:17.600 one of those
00:34:18.540 writings
00:34:18.840 this is from
00:34:19.420 Wisdom 2
00:34:20.360 the revised
00:34:22.600 standard version
00:34:23.560 short and sorrowful
00:34:25.760 is our life
00:34:26.660 and there is no remedy
00:34:29.060 when a man comes
00:34:29.840 to his end
00:34:30.400 and no one
00:34:31.520 has been known
00:34:32.700 to return from
00:34:33.540 Hades
00:34:33.940 because we were
00:34:35.280 born by mere chance
00:34:36.580 and hereafter
00:34:38.060 we shall be
00:34:39.220 as though
00:34:39.660 we had never been
00:34:40.640 because the breath
00:34:41.940 in our nostrils
00:34:42.720 is smoke
00:34:43.420 and reason
00:34:44.280 is just a spark
00:34:45.560 kindled by the beating
00:34:47.140 of our hearts
00:34:47.880 when it is extinguished
00:34:49.460 our body will turn
00:34:50.360 to ashes
00:34:50.820 and our spirit
00:34:51.920 will dissolve
00:34:52.580 like empty air
00:34:54.100 our name
00:34:56.240 will be forgotten
00:34:57.520 in time
00:34:58.120 and no one
00:34:58.840 will remember
00:34:59.340 our works
00:34:59.860 our life
00:35:00.340 will pass away
00:35:01.220 like the traces
00:35:02.320 of a cloud
00:35:02.960 and be scattered
00:35:03.600 like mist
00:35:04.220 that is chased
00:35:04.900 by the rays
00:35:05.500 of the sun
00:35:06.060 and overcome
00:35:06.540 by its heat
00:35:07.280 for our allotted
00:35:09.360 time
00:35:09.840 is but the passing
00:35:11.440 of a shadow
00:35:12.080 and there is no return
00:35:13.700 from our death
00:35:14.460 because it is sealed
00:35:15.960 up
00:35:16.340 and no one
00:35:17.340 turns back
00:35:18.000 come therefore
00:35:19.020 let us enjoy
00:35:20.640 the good things
00:35:21.880 that exist
00:35:22.460 and make use
00:35:23.200 of the creation
00:35:23.880 to the full
00:35:24.740 as in youth
00:35:25.580 let us take
00:35:27.080 our fill
00:35:27.620 of costly wines
00:35:28.720 and perfumes
00:35:29.620 and let no flower
00:35:31.440 of spring
00:35:31.980 pass us by
00:35:32.820 let us crown
00:35:34.240 ourselves
00:35:34.760 with rose buds
00:35:35.700 before they wither
00:35:36.660 let none of us
00:35:37.860 fail to share
00:35:39.020 in our revelry
00:35:40.020 everywhere let us
00:35:41.400 leave signs of enjoyment
00:35:42.500 because this is our portion
00:35:44.040 and this is our lot
00:35:45.560 let us oppress
00:35:46.700 the righteous
00:35:47.280 poor man
00:35:48.220 let us not spare
00:35:49.560 the widow
00:35:50.420 nor regard
00:35:51.180 the grey hairs
00:35:51.960 of the aged
00:35:52.980 but let our might
00:35:54.260 be our right
00:35:55.100 for what is weak
00:35:55.980 proves itself
00:35:56.960 to be useless
00:35:57.880 it's an amazing
00:36:01.720 piece of writing
00:36:04.220 you know
00:36:04.660 it starts with
00:36:05.900 an announcement
00:36:06.400 of the rationale
00:36:07.060 for nihilism
00:36:07.820 and ends with
00:36:08.980 the justification
00:36:09.600 for fascist tyranny
00:36:11.080 you know
00:36:11.960 and it's
00:36:12.400 thousands of years old
00:36:14.000 it's a remarkable
00:36:15.380 thing to see
00:36:16.240 and to be
00:36:17.140 laid out
00:36:17.840 so concisely
00:36:18.840 the pleasure
00:36:20.720 of expediency
00:36:21.520 may be fleeting
00:36:22.320 but it's pleasure
00:36:23.160 nonetheless
00:36:23.980 and that's something
00:36:25.440 to stack up
00:36:26.280 against the terror
00:36:27.260 and pain
00:36:27.780 of existence
00:36:28.440 every man
00:36:29.340 for himself
00:36:30.060 and the devil
00:36:31.520 take the hindmost
00:36:32.500 as the old proverb
00:36:34.200 has it
00:36:34.800 why not simply
00:36:36.560 take everything
00:36:37.220 you can get
00:36:37.880 whenever the opportunity
00:36:38.880 arises
00:36:39.400 why not
00:36:40.460 determine to live
00:36:41.420 in that manner
00:36:42.140 what's the alternative
00:36:45.040 and why should we
00:36:47.100 bother with it
00:36:47.800 our ancestors
00:36:49.060 worked out
00:36:49.740 very sophisticated
00:36:51.140 answers to such
00:36:52.240 questions
00:36:52.640 but we still don't
00:36:53.460 understand them
00:36:54.100 very well
00:36:54.600 this is because
00:36:55.600 they are in large
00:36:56.880 part still implicit
00:36:58.040 manifest primarily
00:36:59.420 in ritual
00:37:00.040 and myth
00:37:00.560 and as of yet
00:37:02.140 incompletely
00:37:03.340 articulated
00:37:04.040 we act them out
00:37:06.380 and represent them
00:37:07.060 in stories
00:37:07.580 but we're not
00:37:08.120 wise enough yet
00:37:09.020 to formulate them
00:37:10.600 explicitly
00:37:11.240 we're still chimps
00:37:13.000 in a troop
00:37:13.620 or wolves
00:37:14.200 in a pack
00:37:14.840 we know how to behave
00:37:16.340 we know who's who
00:37:17.320 and why
00:37:17.840 we've learned that
00:37:18.960 through experience
00:37:19.840 our knowledge
00:37:22.240 has been shaped
00:37:23.100 by our interaction
00:37:24.100 with others
00:37:24.620 we've established
00:37:25.580 predictable routines
00:37:26.680 and patterns of behavior
00:37:27.700 but we don't really
00:37:28.460 understand them
00:37:29.360 or know where
00:37:30.660 they originated
00:37:31.400 they've evolved
00:37:34.080 over great
00:37:34.560 expanses of time
00:37:35.620 no one was
00:37:37.160 formulating them
00:37:38.580 explicitly
00:37:39.160 at least not
00:37:40.420 in the dimmest
00:37:41.040 reaches of the past
00:37:42.160 even though
00:37:43.980 we've been telling
00:37:44.580 each other
00:37:45.000 how to act
00:37:45.580 forever
00:37:46.040 one day
00:37:48.000 however
00:37:48.340 not so long ago
00:37:49.200 we woke up
00:37:49.960 we were already
00:37:51.540 doing
00:37:52.160 but we started
00:37:53.580 noticing what
00:37:54.280 we were doing
00:37:54.780 we started using
00:37:55.580 our bodies
00:37:56.200 as devices
00:37:57.040 to represent
00:37:57.780 their own actions
00:37:58.800 we started
00:38:00.480 imitating
00:38:01.040 and dramatizing
00:38:02.020 we invented
00:38:03.120 ritual
00:38:03.600 we started
00:38:04.360 acting out
00:38:05.080 our own experiences
00:38:06.080 then we started
00:38:08.220 to tell stories
00:38:09.120 we coded
00:38:10.500 our observations
00:38:11.980 of our own
00:38:13.000 drama
00:38:13.440 in those stories
00:38:14.860 in this manner
00:38:16.620 the information
00:38:17.520 that was first
00:38:18.180 only embedded
00:38:18.820 in our behavior
00:38:19.540 became represented
00:38:20.480 in our stories
00:38:21.320 but we didn't
00:38:22.640 and we still
00:38:23.160 don't understand
00:38:23.900 what it all meant
00:38:25.100 the biblical narrative
00:38:27.040 of paradise
00:38:27.680 in the fall
00:38:28.240 is one such story
00:38:29.280 fabricated by our
00:38:30.740 collective imagination
00:38:31.740 working over the
00:38:32.960 centuries
00:38:33.420 it provides a
00:38:36.400 profound account
00:38:37.100 of the nature
00:38:37.640 of being
00:38:38.140 and points the way
00:38:39.320 to a mode of
00:38:40.980 conceptualization
00:38:41.980 and action
00:38:42.580 well matched
00:38:43.320 to that nature
00:38:44.080 in the garden
00:38:44.780 of eden
00:38:45.220 prior to the
00:38:46.720 dawn of
00:38:47.060 self-consciousness
00:38:47.960 so goes
00:38:48.500 the story
00:38:49.060 human beings
00:38:50.040 were sinless
00:38:50.900 our primordial
00:38:57.820 parents
00:38:58.280 adam and eve
00:38:58.920 walked with
00:39:00.280 god
00:39:00.680 then
00:39:01.820 tempted by
00:39:03.580 the snake
00:39:04.120 the first couple
00:39:05.600 ate from the tree
00:39:06.460 of the knowledge
00:39:07.120 of good and evil
00:39:07.900 discovered death
00:39:09.120 and vulnerability
00:39:09.740 and turned away
00:39:10.640 from god
00:39:11.280 mankind
00:39:12.540 was exiled
00:39:13.440 from paradise
00:39:15.020 and began
00:39:15.740 its effortful
00:39:16.940 mortal existence
00:39:18.020 the idea of
00:39:19.360 sacrifice
00:39:19.920 enters soon
00:39:20.660 afterwards
00:39:21.200 beginning with
00:39:21.820 the account
00:39:22.240 of cain and
00:39:22.760 abel
00:39:23.000 and developing
00:39:23.620 as we've seen
00:39:24.680 through the
00:39:25.040 abrahamic stories
00:39:26.080 after much
00:39:28.380 contemplation
00:39:29.160 struggling humanity
00:39:30.080 learns that
00:39:31.100 god's favor
00:39:31.860 could be gained
00:39:32.740 and his wrath
00:39:33.600 averted through
00:39:34.380 proper sacrifice
00:39:35.520 and also that
00:39:36.780 bloody murder
00:39:37.420 might be
00:39:37.860 motivated among
00:39:38.620 those unwilling
00:39:39.360 or unable
00:39:39.940 to succeed
00:39:40.600 in this manner
00:39:41.360 when engaging
00:39:44.980 in sacrifice
00:39:45.740 our forefathers
00:39:46.660 began to act out
00:39:47.700 what would be
00:39:48.220 considered a
00:39:48.820 proposition
00:39:49.240 if it were
00:39:49.960 stated in words
00:39:50.860 that something
00:39:52.640 better might be
00:39:53.560 attained in the
00:39:54.200 future by giving
00:39:55.040 up something of
00:39:55.860 value in the
00:39:56.500 present
00:39:56.880 recall if you
00:39:59.000 will that the
00:39:59.480 necessity for work
00:40:00.420 is one of the
00:40:01.000 curses placed by
00:40:01.960 god upon adam
00:40:03.400 and his
00:40:03.740 descendants
00:40:04.320 in consequence
00:40:05.720 of original
00:40:06.400 sin
00:40:06.800 adam's waking
00:40:10.300 to the fundamental
00:40:11.300 constraints of his
00:40:12.340 being
00:40:12.800 his vulnerability
00:40:13.880 his eventual
00:40:15.340 death
00:40:15.960 that's equivalent
00:40:17.240 to the discovery
00:40:18.200 of the future
00:40:19.100 the future
00:40:21.040 that's where you
00:40:23.060 go to die
00:40:23.720 hopefully not
00:40:25.660 too soon
00:40:26.380 your demise
00:40:27.900 might be staved
00:40:28.720 off through work
00:40:29.660 through the
00:40:30.800 sacrifice of
00:40:31.600 the now
00:40:32.280 to benefit
00:40:33.920 later
00:40:34.360 it is for this
00:40:36.440 reason among
00:40:37.020 others no doubt
00:40:37.860 that the concept
00:40:38.600 of sacrifice
00:40:39.220 is introduced
00:40:39.800 in the biblical
00:40:40.480 chapter immediately
00:40:41.440 following the
00:40:42.140 drama of the
00:40:42.740 fall
00:40:43.040 there's little
00:40:44.060 difference between
00:40:44.800 sacrifice and
00:40:45.660 work
00:40:46.000 they're also both
00:40:48.060 uniquely human
00:40:48.920 sometimes animals
00:40:51.800 act as if they're
00:40:52.620 working but
00:40:53.160 they're really only
00:40:54.360 following the
00:40:54.920 dictates of their
00:40:55.620 natures
00:40:56.140 beavers build
00:40:57.700 dams
00:40:58.220 they do so
00:40:59.060 because they're
00:40:59.620 beavers and
00:41:00.200 beavers build
00:41:00.840 dams
00:41:01.460 they don't
00:41:02.280 think
00:41:02.720 yeah
00:41:03.380 but i'd rather
00:41:04.460 be on a beach
00:41:05.180 in mexico
00:41:05.720 with my
00:41:06.200 girlfriend
00:41:06.620 while they're
00:41:07.220 doing it
00:41:07.900 prosaically
00:41:09.820 such sacrifice
00:41:11.020 work
00:41:11.920 is delay
00:41:13.620 of gratification
00:41:14.540 but that's a
00:41:15.340 very mundane
00:41:15.920 phrase
00:41:16.460 to describe
00:41:17.660 something of
00:41:18.240 soul-shattering
00:41:19.080 significance
00:41:19.860 the discovery
00:41:21.020 that gratification
00:41:21.960 could be delayed
00:41:22.920 was simultaneously
00:41:23.820 the discovery
00:41:24.620 of time
00:41:25.420 and with it
00:41:26.440 causality
00:41:27.200 long ago
00:41:28.900 in the dim
00:41:29.520 mists of time
00:41:30.320 we began to
00:41:31.020 realize that
00:41:32.020 reality was
00:41:32.720 structured as
00:41:33.520 if it could
00:41:34.100 be bargained
00:41:34.640 with
00:41:34.960 we learned that
00:41:36.620 behaving properly
00:41:37.500 now in the
00:41:38.240 present
00:41:38.660 regulating our
00:41:39.640 impulses
00:41:40.160 considering the
00:41:40.920 plight of others
00:41:41.600 could bring
00:41:42.320 rewards in the
00:41:43.060 future
00:41:43.440 in a time and
00:41:44.320 place that did
00:41:44.980 not yet exist
00:41:45.900 we began to
00:41:47.060 inhibit
00:41:47.440 control and
00:41:48.760 organize our
00:41:49.440 immediate impulses
00:41:50.460 so that we
00:41:51.620 could stop
00:41:52.060 interfering with
00:41:52.720 other people
00:41:53.280 and our
00:41:53.840 future selves
00:41:54.800 doing so
00:41:56.720 was indistinguishable
00:41:57.840 from organizing
00:41:59.300 society
00:42:00.000 the discovery
00:42:02.420 of the causal
00:42:03.080 relationship
00:42:03.700 between our
00:42:04.260 efforts today
00:42:05.040 and the
00:42:05.660 quality of
00:42:06.260 tomorrow
00:42:06.720 motivated the
00:42:08.000 social contract
00:42:08.900 the organization
00:42:09.720 that enables
00:42:10.480 today's work
00:42:11.180 to be stored
00:42:11.840 reliably
00:42:12.480 mostly in the
00:42:13.720 form of
00:42:14.100 promises from
00:42:14.820 others
00:42:15.180 understanding
00:42:17.780 is something
00:42:18.980 that's often
00:42:19.640 acted out
00:42:20.480 before it
00:42:21.040 can be
00:42:21.320 articulated
00:42:21.980 just as a
00:42:24.060 child acts
00:42:25.180 out what it
00:42:25.620 means to be
00:42:26.080 mother or
00:42:26.540 father before
00:42:27.440 being able to
00:42:28.020 give a spoken
00:42:28.660 account of what
00:42:29.420 those roles
00:42:29.960 mean
00:42:30.320 the idea
00:42:31.340 the act of
00:42:32.300 making a
00:42:32.840 ritual sacrifice
00:42:33.760 to god
00:42:34.580 was an early
00:42:35.720 and sophisticated
00:42:36.880 enactment of
00:42:38.000 the idea of
00:42:38.840 the usefulness
00:42:39.740 of delay
00:42:40.500 there's a long
00:42:42.280 conceptual journey
00:42:43.200 between merely
00:42:43.920 feasting hungrily
00:42:44.940 and learning to
00:42:46.060 set aside some
00:42:46.820 extra meat
00:42:47.520 smoked by the
00:42:48.360 fire for the
00:42:48.980 end of the
00:42:49.360 day or for
00:42:49.880 someone who
00:42:50.300 isn't present
00:42:50.960 it takes a
00:42:51.840 long time
00:42:52.600 to learn to
00:42:53.980 keep anything
00:42:54.520 later for
00:42:55.180 yourself
00:42:55.680 or to share
00:42:56.960 it with someone
00:42:57.520 else
00:42:57.880 and those are
00:42:58.540 very much the
00:42:59.100 same thing
00:42:59.720 as in the
00:43:00.660 former case
00:43:01.280 you're sharing
00:43:01.780 with your
00:43:02.140 future self
00:43:02.940 it's much
00:43:04.940 easier and far
00:43:05.640 more likely to
00:43:06.320 selfishly and
00:43:06.960 immediately wolf
00:43:07.780 down everything
00:43:08.440 in sight
00:43:08.980 there are similar
00:43:09.940 long journeys
00:43:10.640 between every
00:43:11.400 leap in
00:43:11.880 sophistication
00:43:12.720 with regards
00:43:13.600 to delay
00:43:14.320 and its
00:43:15.200 conceptualization
00:43:16.220 short-term
00:43:17.220 sharing
00:43:18.280 storing away
00:43:19.620 for the future
00:43:20.840 representation
00:43:21.820 of that storage
00:43:22.900 in the form
00:43:23.440 of records
00:43:23.960 and later
00:43:24.440 in the form
00:43:24.920 of currency
00:43:25.460 and ultimately
00:43:26.320 the saving
00:43:26.900 of money
00:43:27.380 in a bank
00:43:27.920 or other
00:43:28.300 institution
00:43:28.960 some
00:43:29.960 conceptualizations
00:43:31.040 had to serve
00:43:31.680 as intermediaries
00:43:32.620 or the full
00:43:33.740 range of our
00:43:34.320 practices and
00:43:35.040 ideas surrounding
00:43:35.820 sacrifice and
00:43:36.680 work and their
00:43:37.240 representation
00:43:37.760 could have
00:43:38.340 never emerged
00:43:39.120 our ancestors
00:43:40.800 acted out
00:43:41.960 a drama
00:43:42.660 a literary
00:43:44.380 fiction
00:43:44.960 they personified
00:43:46.720 the force
00:43:47.220 that governs
00:43:47.880 fate as a
00:43:48.660 spirit that
00:43:49.700 can be bargained
00:43:50.440 with traded
00:43:51.500 with as if it
00:43:52.740 were another
00:43:53.140 human being
00:43:53.800 and the amazing
00:43:54.560 thing is that
00:43:55.180 it worked
00:43:55.800 this was in
00:43:57.920 part because the
00:43:58.580 future is largely
00:43:59.580 composed of other
00:44:00.520 human beings
00:44:01.340 often precisely
00:44:02.560 those who have
00:44:03.160 watched and
00:44:03.700 evaluated and
00:44:04.780 appraised the
00:44:05.440 tiniest details of
00:44:06.520 your past
00:44:07.000 behavior
00:44:07.500 it's not very
00:44:09.020 far from that
00:44:09.700 to God
00:44:10.280 sitting above
00:44:11.080 on high
00:44:12.000 tracking your
00:44:13.060 every move
00:44:13.820 and writing it
00:44:14.840 down for further
00:44:15.700 reference in a
00:44:16.500 big book
00:44:17.100 here's a
00:44:18.280 productive
00:44:18.700 symbolic idea
00:44:19.940 the future
00:44:21.600 is a
00:44:22.840 judgmental
00:44:23.560 father
00:44:24.020 that's a good
00:44:26.420 start
00:44:26.880 but two
00:44:29.560 additional
00:44:30.120 archetypal
00:44:31.400 foundational
00:44:32.000 questions arose
00:44:33.000 because of the
00:44:33.620 discovery of
00:44:34.280 sacrifice of
00:44:35.180 work
00:44:35.480 both have to
00:44:36.700 do with the
00:44:37.160 ultimate extension
00:44:37.920 of the logic
00:44:38.760 of work
00:44:39.280 which is
00:44:40.240 sacrifice now
00:44:42.700 to gain
00:44:43.500 later
00:44:43.940 first question
00:44:46.640 what must be
00:44:49.700 sacrificed
00:44:50.440 small sacrifices
00:44:53.660 might be
00:44:54.280 sufficient to
00:44:54.900 small
00:44:55.280 to solve
00:44:56.060 small
00:44:56.980 singular
00:44:57.880 problems
00:44:58.500 but it's
00:44:59.480 possible
00:45:00.000 that larger
00:45:01.000 more comprehensive
00:45:01.920 sacrifices
00:45:02.660 might solve
00:45:03.780 an array of
00:45:04.420 large and
00:45:04.960 complex problems
00:45:05.780 all at the
00:45:06.280 same time
00:45:06.860 that's harder
00:45:08.380 but it might
00:45:09.740 be better
00:45:10.280 adapting
00:45:11.060 to the
00:45:11.820 necessary
00:45:12.360 discipline
00:45:12.880 of medical
00:45:13.380 school
00:45:13.820 for example
00:45:14.500 will fatally
00:45:15.740 interfere with
00:45:16.480 the licentious
00:45:17.220 lifestyle of a
00:45:18.140 hardcore
00:45:18.560 undergraduate
00:45:19.260 party animal
00:45:20.180 giving that
00:45:21.540 up is a
00:45:22.080 sacrifice
00:45:22.560 but a
00:45:23.340 physician
00:45:23.740 can
00:45:24.400 to quote
00:45:25.380 George W
00:45:26.340 really put
00:45:27.480 food on
00:45:28.080 his family
00:45:28.780 that's a
00:45:34.000 lot of
00:45:34.300 trouble
00:45:34.560 dispensed with
00:45:35.340 over a
00:45:35.740 very long
00:45:36.220 period of
00:45:36.740 time
00:45:37.080 so
00:45:38.740 sacrifices
00:45:39.380 are necessary
00:45:40.220 to improve
00:45:41.280 the future
00:45:41.820 and larger
00:45:43.440 sacrifices
00:45:44.160 can be
00:45:45.140 better
00:45:45.480 second question
00:45:47.320 introduction
00:45:48.220 we've already
00:45:49.200 established the
00:45:49.880 basic principle
00:45:50.620 sacrifice
00:45:51.520 will improve
00:45:52.480 the future
00:45:53.060 but what's
00:45:54.660 implied by
00:45:55.220 that
00:45:55.520 in the
00:45:56.000 most extreme
00:45:57.260 and final
00:45:57.840 of cases
00:45:58.480 where does
00:46:00.340 that basic
00:46:00.900 principle
00:46:01.280 find its
00:46:01.800 limits
00:46:02.160 we must
00:46:03.460 ask
00:46:03.940 to begin
00:46:04.380 with what
00:46:05.480 would be
00:46:05.740 the largest
00:46:06.300 most
00:46:06.740 effective
00:46:07.340 most
00:46:08.360 pleasing
00:46:08.860 of all
00:46:09.900 possible
00:46:10.460 sacrifices
00:46:11.240 and then
00:46:12.720 how good
00:46:13.200 might the
00:46:13.580 best possible
00:46:14.180 future be
00:46:14.880 if the
00:46:15.580 most effective
00:46:16.980 possible
00:46:17.580 sacrifice
00:46:18.260 could be
00:46:18.740 made
00:46:19.140 God
00:46:20.120 and
00:46:21.140 God
00:46:22.040 the biblical
00:46:22.440 story of
00:46:23.000 Cain and
00:46:23.340 Abel
00:46:23.620 Adam and
00:46:24.360 Eve's
00:46:24.660 sons
00:46:24.980 immediately
00:46:25.860 follows the
00:46:26.540 story of
00:46:27.420 the expulsion
00:46:28.040 from paradise
00:46:28.820 as mentioned
00:46:29.460 previously
00:46:30.060 Cain and
00:46:34.220 Abel
00:46:34.440 are really
00:46:35.560 the first
00:46:35.980 humans
00:46:36.380 since their
00:46:38.180 parents were
00:46:39.180 made directly
00:46:39.720 by God
00:46:40.260 and not
00:46:40.580 born in the
00:46:41.120 standard manner
00:46:41.720 Cain and
00:46:42.440 Abel live in
00:46:43.060 history
00:46:43.620 not in
00:46:44.380 Eden
00:46:44.640 they must
00:46:45.580 work
00:46:45.900 they must
00:46:46.380 make sacrifices
00:46:47.260 to please
00:46:47.780 God
00:46:48.120 and they
00:46:48.400 do so
00:46:48.860 with altar
00:46:49.400 and proper
00:46:49.960 ritual
00:46:50.360 but things
00:46:51.080 get complicated
00:46:51.840 Abel's
00:46:53.040 offerings
00:46:53.400 please God
00:46:54.080 but Cain's
00:46:54.660 do not
00:46:55.140 Abel is
00:46:56.340 rewarded
00:46:56.800 many times
00:46:57.460 over
00:46:57.760 but Cain
00:46:58.460 is not
00:46:59.040 it's not
00:46:59.940 precisely
00:47:00.640 clear why
00:47:01.360 although the
00:47:01.780 text strongly
00:47:02.320 hints that
00:47:02.780 Cain's heart
00:47:03.300 is just
00:47:03.660 not in it
00:47:04.200 maybe the
00:47:04.840 quality of
00:47:05.340 what Cain
00:47:05.740 put forward
00:47:06.260 was low
00:47:06.800 maybe his
00:47:07.960 spirit
00:47:08.380 was begrudging
00:47:09.360 or maybe
00:47:10.460 God was
00:47:10.940 just feeling
00:47:11.440 crabby
00:47:12.000 and all
00:47:13.200 of this
00:47:13.460 is realistic
00:47:14.140 including
00:47:14.780 the text's
00:47:15.560 vagueness
00:47:15.980 of explanation
00:47:16.700 not all
00:47:17.560 sacrifices
00:47:18.140 are of
00:47:18.620 equal
00:47:18.880 quality
00:47:19.400 furthermore
00:47:20.880 it often
00:47:21.540 appears that
00:47:22.080 sacrifices
00:47:22.660 of apparently
00:47:23.340 high quality
00:47:24.020 are sometimes
00:47:25.060 not rewarded
00:47:25.760 with a better
00:47:26.280 future
00:47:26.680 and it's
00:47:26.980 not clear
00:47:27.440 why
00:47:27.820 why isn't
00:47:28.640 God
00:47:28.920 happy
00:47:29.380 what would
00:47:30.860 have to
00:47:31.220 change
00:47:31.700 to make
00:47:32.300 him so
00:47:32.820 these are
00:47:34.220 difficult
00:47:34.580 questions
00:47:35.040 and everyone
00:47:35.780 asks them
00:47:36.480 all the
00:47:37.020 time
00:47:37.380 even if
00:47:37.900 they don't
00:47:38.360 notice
00:47:38.780 asking such
00:47:39.880 questions
00:47:40.360 is indistinguishable
00:47:41.440 from thinking
00:47:42.220 the realization
00:47:44.940 that pleasure
00:47:45.640 could be
00:47:46.040 usefully
00:47:46.440 forestalled
00:47:47.020 donned with
00:47:47.540 a difficulty
00:47:48.080 that's almost
00:47:48.640 impossible
00:47:49.180 to overstate
00:47:50.020 such a realization
00:47:52.520 runs absolutely
00:47:54.540 contrary
00:47:55.160 to our
00:47:55.580 ancient
00:47:56.060 fundamental
00:47:57.100 animal instincts
00:47:57.960 which demand
00:47:58.660 immediate
00:47:59.040 satisfaction
00:47:59.760 particularly
00:48:00.940 under conditions
00:48:01.800 of deprivation
00:48:02.560 which are
00:48:02.980 both inevitable
00:48:03.940 and commonplace
00:48:04.840 and to complicate
00:48:05.900 the matter
00:48:06.360 such delay
00:48:07.620 only becomes
00:48:08.380 useful
00:48:08.800 when civilization
00:48:09.600 has stabilized
00:48:10.560 itself
00:48:11.160 enough
00:48:11.520 to guarantee
00:48:12.280 the existence
00:48:12.940 of the delayed
00:48:13.700 reward
00:48:14.200 if everything
00:48:15.060 you save
00:48:15.580 will be destroyed
00:48:16.420 or worse
00:48:17.140 stolen
00:48:17.620 there's no point
00:48:18.260 saving
00:48:18.840 it's for this
00:48:20.640 reason that a wolf
00:48:21.480 will down 20 pounds
00:48:22.580 of raw meat
00:48:23.240 in a single meal
00:48:24.200 he isn't thinking
00:48:25.420 man I hate it
00:48:26.460 when I binge
00:48:27.200 I should save
00:48:28.640 some of this
00:48:29.180 for next week
00:48:30.020 here's a developmental
00:48:32.080 progression
00:48:32.720 from animal
00:48:33.480 to human
00:48:33.980 it's wrong
00:48:35.100 no doubt
00:48:35.560 in the details
00:48:36.240 but it's
00:48:36.920 sufficiently
00:48:37.320 correct
00:48:37.760 for our purposes
00:48:38.520 in theme
00:48:39.140 first
00:48:40.200 there's excess
00:48:41.400 food
00:48:41.920 large carcasses
00:48:43.440 mammoths
00:48:43.980 or other massive
00:48:44.840 herbivores
00:48:45.440 might provide that
00:48:46.460 weigh a lot
00:48:47.200 of mammoths
00:48:47.820 maybe all
00:48:48.900 of them
00:48:49.280 with a large
00:48:50.760 animal
00:48:51.120 there's some
00:48:51.540 left for later
00:48:52.520 after a kill
00:48:53.460 that's accidental
00:48:55.560 at first
00:48:56.660 but eventually
00:48:57.580 the utility
00:48:58.780 of
00:48:59.360 for later
00:49:00.580 starts to be
00:49:01.680 appreciated
00:49:02.320 some provisional
00:49:03.720 notion of
00:49:04.300 sacrifice
00:49:04.760 develops at
00:49:05.440 the same
00:49:05.780 time
00:49:06.160 if I leave
00:49:07.040 some now
00:49:07.640 even if I
00:49:09.100 want it now
00:49:09.800 I won't have
00:49:10.960 to be hungry
00:49:11.420 later
00:49:11.820 that provisional
00:49:13.600 notion then
00:49:14.720 develops to the
00:49:15.400 next level
00:49:15.940 if I leave
00:49:16.920 some for later
00:49:17.540 I won't have
00:49:18.740 to go hungry
00:49:19.260 and neither
00:49:20.520 will those I
00:49:21.000 care for
00:49:21.480 and then to
00:49:22.100 the next
00:49:22.580 level
00:49:23.020 I can't
00:49:24.340 possibly eat
00:49:25.120 all this
00:49:25.520 mammoth
00:49:25.900 but I can't
00:49:26.600 store the rest
00:49:27.260 for too long
00:49:27.920 either
00:49:28.260 maybe I should
00:49:29.880 feed some
00:49:30.300 to other people
00:49:30.960 maybe they'll
00:49:32.200 remember
00:49:32.640 and feed me
00:49:33.800 some of their
00:49:34.300 mammoth
00:49:34.720 when they have
00:49:35.280 some and I
00:49:35.760 have none
00:49:36.300 then I'll get
00:49:37.500 some mammoth
00:49:38.020 now
00:49:38.400 and some
00:49:39.420 mammoth
00:49:39.780 later
00:49:40.160 that's a good
00:49:41.380 deal
00:49:41.780 and maybe
00:49:43.560 those I'm
00:49:44.020 sharing with
00:49:44.540 will come to
00:49:45.020 trust me
00:49:45.540 more generally
00:49:46.180 maybe then
00:49:47.500 we could trade
00:49:48.100 forever
00:49:48.520 in such a
00:49:50.700 manner
00:49:51.040 mammoth
00:49:52.120 becomes
00:49:52.540 future mammoth
00:49:53.680 and future
00:49:54.940 mammoth
00:49:55.400 becomes
00:49:55.860 personal
00:49:56.460 reputation
00:49:57.220 that's the
00:49:58.900 emergence of
00:49:59.460 the social
00:49:59.880 contract
00:50:00.540 to share
00:50:02.300 does not mean
00:50:03.380 to give away
00:50:03.880 something you
00:50:04.420 value
00:50:04.760 and get
00:50:05.100 nothing back
00:50:05.920 that's only
00:50:06.820 instead
00:50:07.220 what every
00:50:07.660 child
00:50:08.020 who refuses
00:50:08.920 to share
00:50:09.540 is afraid
00:50:10.460 that it
00:50:10.840 means
00:50:11.240 to share
00:50:11.880 means
00:50:12.180 properly
00:50:12.640 to initiate
00:50:13.280 the process
00:50:13.900 of trade
00:50:14.560 a child
00:50:16.980 who can't
00:50:17.440 share
00:50:17.740 who can't
00:50:18.900 trade
00:50:19.280 can't have
00:50:20.200 any friends
00:50:20.800 because having
00:50:22.040 friends is a
00:50:22.680 form of trade
00:50:23.460 Benjamin Franklin
00:50:24.880 once suggested
00:50:25.640 that a newcomer
00:50:26.440 to a neighborhood
00:50:27.040 ask a new
00:50:28.360 neighbor
00:50:28.720 to do
00:50:29.920 him or her
00:50:30.400 a favor
00:50:30.920 citing
00:50:32.140 an old
00:50:32.540 maxim
00:50:32.980 he that
00:50:33.900 has once
00:50:34.380 done you
00:50:34.780 a kindness
00:50:35.280 will be
00:50:36.000 more ready
00:50:36.440 to do
00:50:36.800 you another
00:50:37.300 than he
00:50:38.200 whom you
00:50:38.840 yourself
00:50:39.400 have obliged
00:50:40.200 in Franklin's
00:50:41.260 opinion
00:50:41.600 asking
00:50:42.020 something
00:50:42.420 for someone
00:50:43.080 asking
00:50:43.960 someone
00:50:44.420 for something
00:50:45.100 not too
00:50:45.900 extreme
00:50:46.400 obviously
00:50:47.000 was the
00:50:47.760 most useful
00:50:48.780 and immediate
00:50:49.360 invitation
00:50:49.960 to social
00:50:50.500 interaction
00:50:51.080 such asking
00:50:52.100 allowed the
00:50:52.580 neighbor to
00:50:53.000 show him
00:50:53.440 or herself
00:50:53.900 as a good
00:50:54.400 person
00:50:54.760 at first
00:50:55.200 encounter
00:50:55.680 it also
00:50:57.000 meant the
00:50:57.500 neighbor
00:50:57.720 could now
00:50:58.160 ask the
00:50:58.560 newcomer
00:50:58.980 for a
00:50:59.320 favor
00:50:59.600 in return
00:51:00.320 because of
00:51:01.160 the debt
00:51:01.500 incurred
00:51:02.100 in that
00:51:02.880 manner
00:51:03.140 both parties
00:51:03.820 could overcome
00:51:04.440 their natural
00:51:05.060 hesitancy
00:51:05.760 and mutual
00:51:06.660 fear of
00:51:07.160 the stranger
00:51:07.700 it's better
00:51:10.920 to have
00:51:11.240 something
00:51:11.620 rather than
00:51:12.160 nothing
00:51:12.460 it's better
00:51:15.580 yet
00:51:15.920 to generously
00:51:17.560 share the
00:51:18.140 something you
00:51:18.620 have
00:51:19.000 it's even
00:51:19.740 better than
00:51:20.240 that however
00:51:20.840 to become
00:51:21.340 widely known
00:51:22.260 for generous
00:51:23.000 sharing
00:51:23.620 that's
00:51:24.420 something
00:51:24.700 that lasts
00:51:25.480 that's
00:51:26.280 something
00:51:26.600 that's
00:51:26.880 reliable
00:51:27.440 and at
00:51:28.640 this point
00:51:29.080 in
00:51:29.240 abstraction
00:51:29.740 we can
00:51:30.180 observe
00:51:30.580 how the
00:51:31.280 groundwork
00:51:31.860 for the
00:51:32.180 conceptions
00:51:32.840 of reliable
00:51:33.580 honest
00:51:34.140 and generous
00:51:34.780 have been
00:51:35.220 laid
00:51:35.580 the basis
00:51:36.680 for an
00:51:37.100 articulated
00:51:37.620 morality
00:51:38.160 has been
00:51:38.580 put in
00:51:38.920 place
00:51:39.260 the
00:51:39.720 productive
00:51:40.240 truthful
00:51:41.040 sharer
00:51:41.720 is the
00:51:42.400 prototype
00:51:42.820 for the
00:51:43.340 good
00:51:43.540 citizen
00:51:44.000 and the
00:51:44.420 good
00:51:44.600 man
00:51:45.040 we can
00:51:46.180 see in
00:51:46.520 this
00:51:46.720 manner
00:51:47.040 how
00:51:47.480 from
00:51:48.160 the
00:51:48.380 simple
00:51:48.680 notion
00:51:49.200 that
00:51:49.840 leftovers
00:51:50.500 are a
00:51:51.020 good
00:51:51.180 idea
00:51:51.680 the
00:51:52.320 highest
00:51:52.660 moral
00:51:53.040 principles
00:51:53.520 might
00:51:53.920 emerge
00:51:54.420 it's
00:51:56.540 as if
00:51:56.780 something
00:51:57.080 like
00:51:57.360 this
00:51:57.760 happened
00:51:58.560 as
00:51:58.780 humanity
00:51:59.200 developed
00:51:59.780 first
00:52:04.500 were the
00:52:04.840 endless
00:52:05.100 tens or
00:52:05.620 hundreds of
00:52:06.100 thousands
00:52:06.400 of years
00:52:06.880 prior to
00:52:07.440 the
00:52:07.580 emergence
00:52:07.940 of
00:52:08.220 written
00:52:08.420 history
00:52:08.840 and
00:52:09.060 drama
00:52:09.380 during
00:52:11.120 this
00:52:11.380 time
00:52:11.680 the
00:52:11.840 twin
00:52:12.060 practices
00:52:12.580 of
00:52:12.840 delay
00:52:13.280 and
00:52:13.560 exchange
00:52:14.120 began
00:52:14.460 to
00:52:14.720 emerge
00:52:15.180 slowly
00:52:15.700 and
00:52:15.980 painfully
00:52:16.500 then
00:52:18.340 they
00:52:18.520 became
00:52:18.820 represented
00:52:19.420 in
00:52:19.660 metaphorical
00:52:20.260 abstraction
00:52:20.800 as
00:52:21.520 rituals
00:52:22.060 and
00:52:22.380 tales
00:52:22.780 of
00:52:23.020 sacrifice
00:52:23.740 told
00:52:24.620 in a
00:52:24.900 manner
00:52:25.160 such
00:52:25.500 as
00:52:25.680 this
00:52:25.980 it's
00:52:27.760 as
00:52:28.080 as
00:52:28.100 if
00:52:28.520 there's
00:52:29.560 a
00:52:29.680 powerful
00:52:30.060 figure
00:52:30.480 in
00:52:30.680 the
00:52:30.820 sky
00:52:31.180 who
00:52:31.940 sees
00:52:32.260 all
00:52:32.720 and
00:52:33.500 is
00:52:33.660 judging
00:52:33.980 you
00:52:34.340 giving
00:52:35.780 up
00:52:36.120 something
00:52:36.460 you
00:52:36.680 value
00:52:37.040 seems
00:52:37.640 to
00:52:37.800 make
00:52:37.980 him
00:52:38.100 happy
00:52:38.540 and
00:52:39.260 you
00:52:39.380 want
00:52:39.560 to
00:52:39.660 make
00:52:39.840 him
00:52:39.960 happy
00:52:40.380 because
00:52:41.440 all
00:52:41.660 hell
00:52:41.860 breaks
00:52:42.220 loose
00:52:42.480 if
00:52:42.660 you
00:52:42.780 don't
00:52:43.220 so
00:52:45.020 practice
00:52:45.520 sacrificing
00:52:46.300 and
00:52:46.980 sharing
00:52:47.520 until
00:52:48.280 you
00:52:48.440 become
00:52:48.720 expert
00:52:49.360 at
00:52:49.680 it
00:52:49.860 and
00:52:50.400 things
00:52:50.640 will
00:52:50.800 go
00:52:50.940 well
00:52:51.180 for
00:52:51.380 you
00:52:51.680 no
00:52:54.060 one
00:52:54.220 said
00:52:54.500 any
00:52:54.720 of
00:52:54.860 this
00:52:55.060 at
00:52:55.200 least
00:52:55.360 not
00:52:55.580 so
00:52:55.780 plainly
00:52:56.180 and
00:52:56.280 directly
00:52:56.660 but
00:52:57.160 it
00:52:57.240 was
00:52:57.360 implicit
00:52:57.760 in
00:52:58.000 the
00:52:58.120 practice
00:52:58.480 and
00:52:58.700 then
00:52:58.840 in
00:52:58.960 the
00:52:59.100 stories
00:52:59.460 action
00:53:00.320 came
00:53:00.740 first
00:53:01.280 as
00:53:02.220 it
00:53:02.340 had
00:53:02.740 to
00:53:03.040 as
00:53:04.060 the
00:53:04.220 animals
00:53:04.700 we
00:53:04.960 once
00:53:05.280 were
00:53:05.540 could
00:53:05.780 act
00:53:06.200 but
00:53:06.420 could
00:53:06.740 not
00:53:06.980 think
00:53:07.400 implicit
00:53:08.740 unrecognized
00:53:09.760 value
00:53:10.140 came
00:53:10.520 first
00:53:11.160 as
00:53:12.160 the
00:53:12.320 actions
00:53:12.740 that
00:53:12.980 preceded
00:53:13.560 thought
00:53:14.100 embodied
00:53:16.600 value
00:53:17.160 but
00:53:17.860 did not
00:53:18.220 make
00:53:18.440 that
00:53:18.640 value
00:53:18.980 explicit
00:53:19.540 people
00:53:20.800 watched
00:53:21.220 the
00:53:21.440 successful
00:53:21.960 succeed
00:53:22.620 and
00:53:23.200 the
00:53:23.360 unsuccessful
00:53:23.860 fail
00:53:24.660 for
00:53:25.240 thousands
00:53:25.780 and
00:53:26.100 thousands
00:53:26.460 of
00:53:26.740 years
00:53:27.080 we
00:53:27.940 thought
00:53:28.260 it
00:53:28.400 over
00:53:28.680 and we
00:53:29.640 drew
00:53:29.820 a
00:53:29.980 conclusion
00:53:30.500 the
00:53:31.620 successful
00:53:32.220 among us
00:53:33.020 delay
00:53:33.620 gratification
00:53:34.820 the
00:53:35.400 successful
00:53:36.020 among us
00:53:36.660 bargain
00:53:37.160 with the
00:53:37.700 future
00:53:38.100 a great
00:53:39.080 idea
00:53:39.400 began to
00:53:39.920 emerge
00:53:40.320 taking ever
00:53:40.920 more clearly
00:53:41.440 articulated
00:53:42.040 form
00:53:42.500 in ever
00:53:43.220 more
00:53:43.520 clearly
00:53:44.140 articulated
00:53:44.860 stories
00:53:45.460 what's
00:53:47.140 the difference
00:53:47.660 between the
00:53:48.220 successful
00:53:48.660 and the
00:53:49.040 unsuccessful
00:53:49.700 the
00:53:51.340 successful
00:53:51.920 sacrifice
00:53:52.800 things
00:53:54.200 get better
00:53:54.820 as the
00:53:55.300 successful
00:53:55.860 practice
00:53:56.520 their
00:53:56.840 sacrifices
00:53:57.560 the
00:53:58.760 questions
00:53:59.160 become
00:53:59.580 increasingly
00:54:00.240 precise
00:54:00.820 and
00:54:01.160 simultaneously
00:54:01.740 broader
00:54:02.760 what's
00:54:03.360 the
00:54:03.520 greatest
00:54:03.800 possible
00:54:04.360 sacrifice
00:54:05.060 for the
00:54:05.680 greatest
00:54:06.060 possible
00:54:06.680 good
00:54:07.080 and the
00:54:08.240 answers
00:54:08.560 become
00:54:08.940 increasingly
00:54:09.520 deeper
00:54:09.960 and
00:54:10.240 profound
00:54:10.680 the
00:54:12.900 god of
00:54:13.260 western
00:54:13.580 tradition
00:54:13.960 like so
00:54:14.400 many gods
00:54:14.920 requires
00:54:15.380 sacrifice
00:54:15.940 we've
00:54:16.360 already
00:54:16.640 examined
00:54:17.120 why
00:54:17.520 but
00:54:17.740 sometimes
00:54:18.220 he goes
00:54:18.660 even
00:54:18.920 further
00:54:19.340 he demands
00:54:20.580 not only
00:54:21.140 sacrifice
00:54:21.940 but the
00:54:22.980 sacrifice
00:54:23.420 of
00:54:23.700 precisely
00:54:24.180 what
00:54:24.480 is
00:54:24.640 loved
00:54:24.920 best
00:54:25.460 this
00:54:25.960 is
00:54:26.100 most
00:54:26.380 starkly
00:54:27.040 portrayed
00:54:27.500 and
00:54:28.100 most
00:54:28.320 confusingly
00:54:29.100 evident
00:54:29.400 in the
00:54:30.100 story
00:54:30.420 of
00:54:30.780 Abraham
00:54:31.500 and
00:54:31.840 Isaac
00:54:32.300 Abraham
00:54:33.440 beloved
00:54:33.920 of
00:54:34.140 God
00:54:34.420 long
00:54:34.680 wanted
00:54:35.020 a son
00:54:35.440 and
00:54:35.840 God
00:54:36.080 promised
00:54:36.500 him
00:54:36.640 exactly
00:54:37.040 that
00:54:37.340 after
00:54:37.600 many
00:54:37.880 delays
00:54:38.380 and
00:54:38.860 under
00:54:39.060 the
00:54:39.220 imparently
00:54:39.780 impossible
00:54:40.440 conditions
00:54:41.020 of
00:54:41.220 old
00:54:41.560 age
00:54:41.900 and
00:54:42.120 a
00:54:42.280 long
00:54:42.540 barren
00:54:42.920 wife
00:54:43.340 but
00:54:46.380 not
00:54:46.560 so
00:54:46.760 long
00:54:46.960 afterward
00:54:47.440 when
00:54:48.240 the
00:54:48.380 miraculously
00:54:49.060 born
00:54:49.460 Isaac
00:54:49.820 is still
00:54:50.260 a
00:54:50.420 child
00:54:50.760 God
00:54:51.720 turns
00:54:52.040 around
00:54:52.440 and
00:54:52.700 in
00:54:52.800 apparently
00:54:53.240 barbaric
00:54:53.880 fashion
00:54:54.300 demands
00:54:54.860 that his
00:54:55.620 faithful
00:54:55.980 servant
00:54:56.420 offer his
00:54:57.040 son
00:54:57.300 as a
00:54:57.640 sacrifice
00:54:58.140 the story
00:54:59.540 ends
00:54:59.820 happily
00:55:00.260 God
00:55:01.520 sends
00:55:01.820 an angel
00:55:02.300 to
00:55:03.060 to stay
00:55:03.360 to stay
00:55:03.380 Abraham's
00:55:04.000 obedient
00:55:04.360 hand
00:55:04.860 and
00:55:05.280 accepts
00:55:05.640 a
00:55:05.860 ram
00:55:06.180 in
00:55:06.340 Isaac's
00:55:06.860 stead
00:55:07.180 that's
00:55:07.840 a
00:55:07.920 good
00:55:08.060 thing
00:55:08.500 but
00:55:09.780 doesn't
00:55:10.000 really
00:55:10.200 address
00:55:10.580 the
00:55:10.760 issue
00:55:11.020 at
00:55:11.200 hand
00:55:11.560 why
00:55:12.200 was
00:55:12.580 God's
00:55:13.020 going
00:55:13.260 further
00:55:13.640 necessary
00:55:14.260 why
00:55:15.140 does
00:55:15.360 he
00:55:15.660 why
00:55:17.060 does
00:55:17.200 life
00:55:17.660 impose
00:55:18.800 such
00:55:19.120 demands
00:55:19.720 we'll
00:55:24.380 start
00:55:24.600 our
00:55:24.740 analysis
00:55:25.120 with
00:55:25.380 the
00:55:25.520 truism
00:55:25.960 stark
00:55:28.420 self
00:55:30.260 evident
00:55:30.620 and
00:55:31.180 understated
00:55:31.920 sometimes
00:55:33.800 things
00:55:34.440 do not
00:55:34.920 go well
00:55:35.520 that
00:55:37.220 seems
00:55:37.560 to have
00:55:38.240 much
00:55:38.500 to do
00:55:38.800 with
00:55:38.960 the
00:55:39.100 terrible
00:55:39.400 nature
00:55:39.760 of
00:55:39.960 the
00:55:40.080 world
00:55:40.360 with
00:55:40.800 its
00:55:40.960 plagues
00:55:41.340 and
00:55:41.500 its
00:55:41.660 famines
00:55:42.120 and
00:55:42.300 its
00:55:42.480 tyrannies
00:55:43.000 and
00:55:43.140 its
00:55:43.300 betrayals
00:55:43.840 but
00:55:44.420 here's
00:55:44.720 the
00:55:44.880 rub
00:55:45.240 sometimes
00:55:46.400 when
00:55:46.780 things
00:55:47.040 are
00:55:47.160 not
00:55:47.340 going
00:55:47.600 well
00:55:47.820 it's
00:55:48.020 not
00:55:48.180 the
00:55:48.340 world
00:55:48.580 that
00:55:48.740 it's
00:55:48.900 the
00:55:49.040 cause
00:55:49.420 the

00:56:54.560 symbolized
00:56:55.180 perhaps
00:56:55.680 in

00:57:41.740 a

00:57:42.120 beautiful
00:57:43.120 but

00:58:00.080 great drama
00:58:00.640 of being

00:58:17.560 it's
00:58:18.100 an
00:58:18.240 act
00:58:18.600 of
00:58:18.740 supreme

00:58:51.300 of
00:58:51.460 a

00:58:51.940 mortal
00:58:52.280 life
00:58:52.760 that
00:58:53.240 is
00:58:53.380 the

00:59:04.180 it's
00:59:05.880 for

00:59:18.740 that's
00:59:19.340 the
00:59:19.480 core
00:59:19.740 of
00:59:19.880 what

01:00:09.800 will
01:00:09.980 forego
01:00:10.440 expediency
01:00:11.280 he

01:00:13.040 the
01:00:13.500 path
01:00:13.800 of

01:00:19.340 to
01:00:19.680 the
01:00:19.880 ever
01:00:20.200 desperate
01:00:21.220 world
01:00:21.740 on
01:00:36.760 on
01:00:36.780 the
01:00:36.900 third
01:00:37.140 day
01:00:37.360 Abraham
01:00:37.680 lifted
01:00:38.120 up
01:00:38.300 his
01:00:38.460 eyes
01:00:38.700 and
01:00:38.880 saw
01:00:39.100 the
01:00:39.260 place
01:00:39.560 far
01:00:39.900 off
01:00:40.340 it's
01:00:42.240 not
01:00:42.420 an
01:00:42.600 accident
01:00:42.960 also
01:00:43.540 that
01:00:43.760 it's
01:00:43.920 in
01:00:44.020 a
01:00:44.140 mountain
01:00:44.420 right
01:00:44.760 because
01:00:45.100 a
01:00:45.980 mountain
01:00:46.180 is
01:00:46.300 something
01:00:46.500 you
01:00:46.660 have
01:00:46.820 to
01:00:46.940 climb
01:00:47.280 and
01:00:47.440 you
01:00:47.540 have
01:00:47.680 to
01:00:47.920 climb
01:00:48.360 to
01:00:48.500 the
01:00:48.620 pinnacle
01:00:48.940 of
01:00:49.100 a
01:00:49.220 mountain
01:00:49.460 and
01:00:49.700 the
01:00:50.200 mountain
01:00:50.460 is
01:00:50.660 up
01:00:51.020 right
01:00:51.260 and
01:00:51.360 the
01:00:51.460 mountain
01:00:51.660 stretches
01:00:52.080 up
01:00:52.320 to
01:00:52.440 heaven
01:00:52.700 and
01:00:52.940 it's
01:00:53.420 a
01:00:53.520 long
01:00:53.720 journey
01:00:54.120 to
01:00:54.440 specify
01:00:54.940 the
01:00:55.220 right
01:00:55.480 place
01:00:56.200 on
01:00:56.380 the
01:00:56.500 highest
01:00:56.820 pinnacle
01:00:57.320 and
01:00:58.200 that's
01:00:59.060 symbolic
01:00:59.720 because
01:01:00.100 of course
01:01:00.460 it's
01:01:00.640 a pinnacle
01:01:01.120 that
01:01:01.780 you're
01:01:02.140 always
01:01:02.380 trying
01:01:02.600 to
01:01:02.740 reach
01:01:02.960 just
01:01:03.200 like
01:01:03.420 you're
01:01:03.560 always
01:01:03.720 trying
01:01:03.920 to
01:01:04.040 aim
01:01:04.320 you're
01:01:04.580 always
01:01:04.760 trying
01:01:04.940 to
01:01:05.060 climb
01:01:05.340 upward
01:01:05.740 at
01:01:06.040 least
01:01:06.400 that's
01:01:06.760 the
01:01:07.100 theory
01:01:07.400 depends
01:01:08.120 to
01:01:08.320 some
01:01:08.520 degree
01:01:08.780 of
01:01:08.960 course
01:01:09.160 on
01:01:09.360 your
01:01:09.480 definition
01:01:09.960 of
01:01:10.180 upward
01:01:10.580 and
01:01:12.440 Abraham
01:01:12.700 said
01:01:13.060 to
01:01:13.200 his
01:01:13.360 young
01:01:13.580 men

01:01:15.220 ass
01:01:15.560 and
01:01:15.720 I
01:01:15.880 and
01:01:16.300 the
01:01:16.420 lad
01:01:16.600 will
01:01:16.760 go
01:01:16.920 yonder
01:01:17.240 and
01:01:17.420 worship
01:01:17.700 and
01:01:17.940 come
01:01:18.120 to
01:01:18.260 you
01:01:18.420 again
01:01:18.740 and
01:01:20.160 Abraham
01:01:20.480 took
01:01:21.440 the
01:01:21.600 wood
01:01:21.780 of

01:02:50.940 this question
01:02:51.540 he said
01:02:52.000 that he had
01:02:52.500 parents
01:02:52.980 who were
01:02:53.440 desperate
01:02:54.420 anti-social
01:02:56.060 alcoholic
01:02:56.860 addicted
01:02:57.520 friendless
01:02:58.960 and that
01:03:00.140 they
01:03:02.960 they
01:03:02.980 didn't
01:03:03.180 want
01:03:03.400 him
01:03:03.540 to
01:03:03.680 leave
01:03:03.920 their
01:03:04.120 home
01:03:04.360 he
01:03:05.460 was
01:03:05.640 the
01:03:05.800 only
01:03:06.000 relationship
01:03:06.540 they
01:03:06.820 had
01:03:07.180 that
01:03:07.580 that

01:03:12.500 only
01:03:12.680 relationship
01:03:13.240 they
01:03:13.560 had
01:03:13.860 and he
01:03:14.120 asked
01:03:14.400 what
01:03:14.600 he
01:03:14.800 should
01:03:14.980 do
01:03:15.260 and
01:03:17.760 I
01:03:17.900 told
01:03:18.120 him
01:03:18.240 that
01:03:18.380 he
01:03:18.500 should
01:03:18.680 leave
01:03:19.040 and
01:03:21.620 the
01:03:21.720 reason
01:03:21.960 for
01:03:22.120 that
01:03:22.320 is
01:03:22.500 that
01:03:22.740 you
01:03:27.080 have a
01:03:27.440 moral
01:03:27.640 obligation
01:03:28.160 as a
01:03:28.960 parent
01:03:29.460 to
01:03:29.780 encourage
01:03:31.440 your
01:03:31.700 child
01:03:32.460 to go
01:03:32.700 out
01:03:32.840 into
01:03:32.980 the
01:03:33.140 world
01:03:33.440 right
01:03:34.040 and
01:03:35.140 to
01:03:35.300 be
01:03:35.700 whoever
01:03:36.440 they
01:03:36.720 can
01:03:36.900 be
01:03:37.280 to
01:03:38.600 be
01:03:38.800 the
01:03:38.980 best
01:03:39.240 they
01:03:39.460 can
01:03:39.620 possibly
01:03:40.060 be
01:03:40.500 and
01:03:42.480 in
01:03:42.620 doing
01:03:42.820 that
01:03:43.040 you're
01:03:43.260 encouraging
01:03:44.900 them
01:03:45.340 to
01:03:46.580 pursue
01:03:47.440 the
01:03:47.660 good
01:03:47.880 you're
01:03:48.480 sacrificing
01:03:49.240 them
01:03:49.680 to
01:03:50.220 the
01:03:50.380 good
01:03:50.680 you're
01:03:51.600 not
01:03:51.800 keeping
01:03:52.160 them
01:03:52.360 for
01:03:52.580 yourself
01:03:53.140 selfishly
01:03:54.420 you're
01:03:55.300 telling
01:03:55.580 them
01:03:55.840 that
01:03:56.040 they
01:03:56.200 can
01:03:56.420 go
01:03:56.660 out
01:03:56.860 and
01:03:57.040 live
01:03:57.300 their
01:03:57.500 life
01:03:57.800 and
01:03:57.960 live
01:03:58.180 it
01:03:58.340 properly
01:03:58.760 and
01:03:59.440 and
01:04:03.000 that's
01:04:03.440 the
01:04:03.960 parallel
01:04:04.340 to
01:04:04.640 the
01:04:04.800 idea
01:04:05.200 of
01:04:05.560 the
01:04:06.220 sacrifice
01:04:06.680 of
01:04:07.040 Isaac
01:04:07.440 as far
01:04:08.300 as I
01:04:08.600 can
01:04:08.760 tell
01:04:09.080 you
01:04:12.920 don't
01:04:13.200 want
01:04:13.520 for
01:04:13.720 your
01:04:13.940 son
01:04:14.280 what
01:04:15.040 it
01:04:15.180 is
01:04:15.360 that
01:04:15.540 you
01:04:15.720 want
01:04:16.060 for
01:04:16.300 him
01:04:16.580 you
01:04:17.940 want
01:04:18.220 for
01:04:18.500 your
01:04:18.820 son
01:04:19.180 what
01:04:20.620 would
01:04:21.260 be
01:04:21.460 best
01:04:21.820 for
01:04:22.000 him
01:04:22.260 and
01:04:22.520 for
01:04:22.680 the
01:04:22.840 world
01:04:23.200 and
01:04:24.760 you
01:04:25.160 let
01:04:25.500 go
01:04:26.000 in
01:04:27.140 precise
01:04:27.560 proportion
01:04:28.120 to
01:04:28.440 your
01:04:28.620 desire
01:04:29.100 to
01:04:29.660 have
01:04:29.860 that
01:04:30.060 happen
01:04:30.440 you
01:04:30.880 know
01:04:31.040 the
01:04:31.360 psychoanalyst
01:04:32.000 the
01:04:32.160 great
01:04:32.360 psychoanalyst
01:04:32.980 I think
01:04:33.360 the psychoanalyst
01:04:34.120 I think this is actually Freud's dictum
01:04:35.840 but I'm not certain of that
01:04:37.000 he said the good mother fails
01:04:39.060 which is a
01:04:40.920 it's a brilliant observation
01:04:42.320 because
01:04:42.800 when you have an infant
01:04:46.320 you do everything for the infant
01:04:47.700 because the infant can do nothing
01:04:49.240 for him or herself
01:04:50.400 but as the infant matures
01:04:52.180 and is increasingly capable
01:04:54.660 of doing things for him or herself
01:04:57.300 then you pull back
01:04:58.240 right
01:04:58.480 you pull back
01:04:59.620 and every time the child develops the ability to do something
01:05:02.960 you allow them
01:05:03.760 or encourage them to do it
01:05:05.440 and you don't interfere
01:05:06.800 you know
01:05:07.440 so if your child is struggling getting dressed
01:05:09.320 well
01:05:09.620 obviously there's sometimes that you help them
01:05:11.700 but mostly you let them learn
01:05:13.220 so that they can know how to do it in the future
01:05:15.520 that's better for you
01:05:16.840 and it's certainly better for them
01:05:17.920 there's a rule
01:05:18.900 if you're working with the elderly
01:05:20.420 in an old age home
01:05:21.360 and the rule is something like
01:05:22.540 don't do anything for any of the
01:05:25.000 for any of the guests
01:05:27.960 let's say
01:05:28.640 that they can do for themselves
01:05:30.200 because you compromise their independence
01:05:32.920 and so
01:05:33.420 as a mother
01:05:34.280 you pull back
01:05:35.040 and you pull back
01:05:35.720 and you let your child
01:05:36.620 hit him or herself
01:05:37.960 against the world
01:05:38.960 and you fail to protect them
01:05:41.000 but by failing to protect them
01:05:43.140 you
01:05:43.580 encourage and ennoble them
01:05:46.040 to the point where
01:05:47.640 you're no longer necessary
01:05:48.860 now they may still want to see you
01:05:51.480 and it would be wonderful
01:05:52.340 if that was the case
01:05:53.280 but the point is
01:05:54.180 is that you're supposed to
01:05:55.280 remove yourself from the equation
01:05:57.540 by encouraging your child
01:05:59.780 to be the best possible person
01:06:01.620 that person can be
01:06:03.500 and you sacrifice your desires
01:06:06.640 all of your desires
01:06:08.840 to that
01:06:09.420 your personal desires
01:06:10.480 even your desires for your child
01:06:12.020 in relationship to you
01:06:13.240 because you want them
01:06:14.700 to move forward
01:06:15.320 into the world
01:06:15.920 as a light
01:06:17.060 right?
01:06:17.500 as a light on a hill
01:06:18.580 that's what you want
01:06:19.680 if you have any sense
01:06:20.920 and so you don't get
01:06:22.760 to keep your children at home
01:06:24.060 because you need them
01:06:25.400 now I'm talking generally
01:06:27.200 obviously
01:06:27.780 and there are circumstances
01:06:29.320 under which families
01:06:30.620 make their own
01:06:31.260 idiosyncratic decisions
01:06:32.500 and I'm not trying to
01:06:33.700 damn everyone
01:06:34.800 with a casual gesture
01:06:37.300 you know
01:06:37.840 but the point is still strong
01:06:39.700 that
01:06:40.000 the good father
01:06:43.500 is precisely someone
01:06:44.580 who is willing
01:06:45.380 to sacrifice his child
01:06:46.660 to the ultimate good
01:06:47.620 that's dramatized
01:06:50.480 in this story
01:06:51.180 you know
01:06:51.480 and it's brutal
01:06:52.680 but
01:06:54.100 the world is a brutal place
01:06:58.880 and much wisdom
01:06:59.620 comes out of catastrophe
01:07:00.820 and this is an indication
01:07:02.780 of how much catastrophe
01:07:04.040 our ancestors had to
01:07:05.480 plow through
01:07:06.980 had to work through
01:07:08.000 in order to generate
01:07:09.440 the substructure
01:07:10.440 for the conceptions
01:07:11.380 of freedom even
01:07:12.200 that we have today
01:07:13.020 for freedom and the good
01:07:14.200 and that's how the story
01:07:15.800 appears to me
01:07:16.600 now I think there's more to it
01:07:18.580 I think if there has to be
01:07:19.840 more to it
01:07:20.500 it lays the groundwork
01:07:23.780 at least in the Christian context
01:07:25.120 for the eventual emergence
01:07:26.440 of Christ
01:07:27.020 as I alluded to
01:07:28.340 in my reading
01:07:29.700 that story obviously
01:07:31.880 has to be unpacked
01:07:32.960 and unpacked
01:07:33.520 and unpacked
01:07:34.080 just like it has been
01:07:34.920 for the last 2,000 years
01:07:36.180 it's also an indication
01:07:37.780 here of
01:07:38.400 well I would say
01:07:43.560 the transmutation
01:07:44.420 of sacrifice
01:07:45.100 into an increasingly
01:07:46.120 psychological form
01:07:47.220 which is a development
01:07:48.400 that we've tracked
01:07:49.080 all the way through
01:07:49.780 the Old Testament
01:07:50.800 up to this particular point
01:07:52.200 first acted out
01:07:54.580 then represented in ritual
01:07:56.680 those would be
01:07:57.200 the rituals of sacrifice
01:07:58.380 then laid out in story
01:08:00.180 then turned into
01:08:01.180 a psychological phenomena
01:08:02.880 so that now
01:08:03.720 we're capable of making
01:08:05.180 sacrifices in abstraction
01:08:07.860 right
01:08:08.280 to conceptualize
01:08:10.840 a future that we want
01:08:11.980 to let go of the things
01:08:13.440 that are stopping us
01:08:14.640 from moving forward
01:08:15.420 and to free ourselves
01:08:16.940 from the chains
01:08:17.720 of our original preconceptions
01:08:19.360 and that's laid out
01:08:21.040 in these old stories
01:08:22.560 as the optimal pathway
01:08:24.780 of being
01:08:25.320 and there's a philosopher
01:08:27.440 of science
01:08:28.080 named Karl Popper
01:08:29.220 very sensible
01:08:30.540 and down-to-earth person
01:08:31.780 who was talking about
01:08:33.200 thinking and its nature
01:08:34.360 and he was thought about
01:08:35.400 thinking in a Darwinian fashion
01:08:37.040 he said
01:08:37.820 the purpose of thinking
01:08:38.660 is to let your thoughts
01:08:39.600 die instead of you
01:08:40.880 it's a brilliant notion
01:08:43.620 and so the idea
01:08:44.700 is something like
01:08:45.500 you can conjure up
01:08:48.680 a representation of yourself
01:08:50.200 you can conjure up
01:08:51.200 a variety of potential
01:08:52.460 representations of yourself
01:08:53.700 in the future
01:08:54.720 you can lay out
01:08:56.100 how those future
01:08:57.320 representations of yourself
01:08:58.540 are likely to prevail
01:09:00.620 or fail
01:09:01.300 you can cull
01:09:02.420 the potential use
01:09:04.100 in the future
01:09:04.680 that will fail
01:09:05.460 and then you can embody
01:09:06.660 the ones that will succeed
01:09:07.880 you do that
01:09:09.840 well simultaneously
01:09:11.860 conjuring up a representation
01:09:13.880 of your current state
01:09:15.100 and determining for yourself
01:09:17.040 because of your undue suffering
01:09:19.560 which elements of your pathetic being
01:09:21.940 need to be given up
01:09:23.020 so that you can move forward
01:09:24.240 into that future
01:09:25.160 and the goal
01:09:26.660 what is it that you're aiming at
01:09:28.920 with that work
01:09:29.640 and that sacrifice
01:09:30.400 that's the ultimate question
01:09:31.760 it's the question
01:09:32.400 I was trying to address
01:09:33.300 in that writing
01:09:33.880 what is it that you're trying to do
01:09:35.220 well you're trying to improve
01:09:36.460 the future
01:09:37.100 we believe that the future
01:09:39.080 can be improved
01:09:39.820 we believe that it can be improved
01:09:41.300 as a consequence
01:09:42.240 of our sacrificial work
01:09:43.680 and so once again
01:09:45.000 what are the limitations
01:09:46.100 what are the limits to that
01:09:47.400 what are the necessary limits to that
01:09:48.840 I would say we don't know
01:09:49.940 I would say as well
01:09:51.000 that that's actually something
01:09:52.180 that the entire corpus
01:09:53.620 of biblical stories
01:09:54.480 is trying desperately
01:09:55.680 to articulate
01:09:56.620 to figure out
01:09:57.700 and articulate
01:09:58.360 right
01:09:59.300 we conjured up
01:10:01.200 this remarkable idea
01:10:02.400 the future exists
01:10:03.840 we can see it
01:10:04.860 even though it's only potential
01:10:06.240 we can adjust our behavior
01:10:07.920 in the present
01:10:08.580 in order to maximize
01:10:09.980 our probability of success
01:10:11.280 in the future
01:10:11.960 how best to do that
01:10:14.100 well the idea is something like
01:10:16.640 don't hesitate
01:10:19.560 to offer
01:10:20.720 the ultimate sacrifice
01:10:22.340 if you want
01:10:24.660 the future to turn out
01:10:26.080 ultimately well
01:10:27.340 now obviously
01:10:28.880 that idea
01:10:30.620 is clothed
01:10:31.840 in metaphysical
01:10:32.700 speculation
01:10:33.940 and religious imagery
01:10:35.000 but it still remains
01:10:36.440 an intensely practical issue
01:10:38.180 right
01:10:39.000 what is it
01:10:43.100 that you could
01:10:43.800 contract for
01:10:47.020 let's say
01:10:47.860 if you were willing
01:10:50.060 to give up
01:10:50.620 everything about you
01:10:51.440 that's weak
01:10:52.000 and unworthy
01:10:52.940 the
01:10:54.740 there's a
01:10:58.100 there's a continual
01:11:01.180 hints of that
01:11:01.920 in the Old Testament
01:11:02.680 right
01:11:03.040 because what happens
01:11:04.040 with Noah
01:11:04.540 of course
01:11:05.000 is that
01:11:05.400 he establishes
01:11:08.500 the proper
01:11:09.000 covenant
01:11:09.580 with God
01:11:10.520 the proper
01:11:11.540 contract
01:11:12.100 with being
01:11:13.220 let's say
01:11:13.800 and thrives
01:11:15.080 as a consequence
01:11:15.780 and then Abraham
01:11:16.360 does the same thing
01:11:17.320 there's a strong
01:11:18.400 intimation
01:11:19.000 that that's how
01:11:19.680 the world is set
01:11:20.440 right
01:11:20.760 that idea
01:11:22.220 develops
01:11:22.760 and magnifies
01:11:23.920 as the stories
01:11:24.840 progress
01:11:25.380 into something like
01:11:26.280 into something like
01:11:30.840 the concept
01:11:31.380 of heaven
01:11:31.880 on earth
01:11:32.460 the notion
01:11:35.140 being that
01:11:35.800 the proper
01:11:36.980 sacrificial
01:11:38.640 attitude
01:11:39.160 produces
01:11:40.980 a psychological
01:11:42.580 state
01:11:43.240 and then a social
01:11:45.540 state
01:11:45.980 that's a
01:11:46.480 manifestation
01:11:46.960 of that attitude
01:11:48.000 that
01:11:49.680 decreases the
01:11:51.120 probability
01:11:51.700 that the world
01:11:52.460 will careen
01:11:53.160 into hell
01:11:53.800 and increases
01:11:55.420 the probability
01:11:56.220 that people
01:11:57.260 will live
01:11:57.860 high quality
01:11:59.000 meaningful
01:12:00.360 private lives
01:12:01.660 in a society
01:12:02.900 that's balanced
01:12:03.780 and capable
01:12:04.580 of supporting
01:12:05.220 that
01:12:05.540 and none
01:12:06.720 of that
01:12:07.100 seems to me
01:12:07.740 to be
01:12:08.240 questionable
01:12:10.860 really
01:12:12.260 I also don't
01:12:13.940 think it's anything
01:12:14.600 that people
01:12:15.160 don't actually
01:12:15.880 know
01:12:16.340 you know
01:12:17.840 people have told
01:12:18.540 me many times
01:12:19.420 that
01:12:20.180 when they listen
01:12:21.580 to me talk
01:12:22.320 they're hearing
01:12:23.660 things that they
01:12:24.360 already knew
01:12:25.180 but didn't know
01:12:26.300 how to say
01:12:26.880 it's something
01:12:27.340 like that
01:12:27.840 and this is one
01:12:28.680 of those things
01:12:29.220 that I think
01:12:29.820 is exactly like
01:12:30.720 that I mean
01:12:31.200 I think it's
01:12:32.080 at the very core
01:12:32.760 of our moral
01:12:33.300 knowledge
01:12:33.820 which is our
01:12:34.480 behavioral knowledge
01:12:35.360 and our perceptual
01:12:36.280 knowledge
01:12:36.560 I mean let's
01:12:36.900 get this straight
01:12:37.640 moral knowledge
01:12:38.540 is no trivial
01:12:39.140 matter
01:12:39.520 it's knowledge
01:12:40.100 about how it
01:12:40.660 is that you
01:12:41.060 orient yourself
01:12:41.720 in the world
01:12:42.200 there's no more
01:12:43.040 profoundly necessary
01:12:44.300 form of knowledge
01:12:45.220 well it's predicated
01:12:46.260 on something
01:12:47.320 that's exactly
01:12:47.980 like this
01:12:48.520 we know that
01:12:49.340 we have to
01:12:49.740 make sacrifices
01:12:50.440 we know that
01:12:51.040 we have to
01:12:51.500 aim at what's
01:12:52.040 good
01:12:52.340 so then why
01:12:53.360 isn't that we
01:12:53.920 don't aim at
01:12:54.500 what's best
01:12:55.080 and make the
01:12:55.680 sacrifices that are
01:12:56.560 necessary in order
01:12:57.380 to bring that
01:12:58.000 into play
01:12:58.500 I think
01:13:00.520 it seems to me
01:13:02.120 that in some sense
01:13:02.880 that's self-evident
01:13:03.800 the question is
01:13:04.840 why we don't do it
01:13:05.680 but there's answers
01:13:06.340 to that too
01:13:06.960 already in the
01:13:07.580 material that we've
01:13:08.280 covered
01:13:08.520 life is hard
01:13:09.300 and it hurts
01:13:10.380 people
01:13:10.840 it's rife with
01:13:12.300 limitation
01:13:12.880 and some of it's
01:13:14.380 arbitrary
01:13:14.900 and it's no wonder
01:13:16.040 and some of it's
01:13:17.680 unjust
01:13:18.080 and some of it's
01:13:18.720 worse
01:13:18.960 some of it's
01:13:19.540 malevolent
01:13:20.160 which is even worse
01:13:21.000 and something I
01:13:21.600 haven't talked about
01:13:22.280 at all in this
01:13:22.900 lecture
01:13:23.240 it's not surprising
01:13:24.480 that that combination
01:13:25.480 of vicissitude
01:13:26.340 can turn people
01:13:27.220 against being
01:13:27.960 but I think
01:13:29.000 even when that
01:13:29.560 happens
01:13:29.980 and even when
01:13:30.560 people have
01:13:31.220 the kind of
01:13:32.240 history
01:13:32.680 that if they
01:13:34.480 revealed to you
01:13:36.080 you would say
01:13:37.240 well it's no wonder
01:13:38.480 you turned out
01:13:39.200 that way
01:13:39.840 the people who
01:13:41.680 turn out that way
01:13:42.520 still know
01:13:43.060 that it's wrong
01:13:43.820 they still know
01:13:44.820 that however deep
01:13:45.840 their own suffering
01:13:46.720 however arbitrary
01:13:47.680 their own suffering
01:13:48.540 however much
01:13:49.640 that's caused
01:13:50.340 by the malevolence
01:13:51.340 of others
01:13:51.760 as well as the
01:13:52.660 tragedy of existence
01:13:53.700 that that does
01:13:55.300 not in any way
01:13:56.140 justify their
01:13:57.100 turning away
01:13:57.680 from the good
01:13:58.360 and I believe
01:14:00.360 everyone knows
01:14:01.060 that
01:14:01.360 I believe that
01:14:03.680 they know it
01:14:05.260 implicitly
01:14:05.980 even if they
01:14:06.580 don't allow
01:14:07.180 themselves to
01:14:07.820 know it
01:14:08.100 explicitly
01:14:08.560 and I believe
01:14:09.700 that if they
01:14:10.180 violate that
01:14:11.060 idea
01:14:11.420 then they
01:14:11.840 violate
01:14:12.240 themselves
01:14:12.820 and that
01:14:13.360 they end up
01:14:14.100 in Cain's
01:14:14.600 position
01:14:15.040 which is the
01:14:15.620 position of
01:14:16.140 the man
01:14:16.520 who's been
01:14:17.320 given a
01:14:17.720 punishment
01:14:18.040 that is too
01:14:18.580 great to
01:14:19.020 bear
01:14:19.240 and the
01:14:22.680 angel said
01:14:23.360 lay not
01:14:32.140 thine hand
01:14:32.740 upon the
01:14:33.240 lad
01:14:33.500 neither do
01:14:34.040 thou
01:14:34.320 anything
01:14:34.820 unto him
01:14:35.420 for now
01:14:36.760 I know
01:14:37.080 that thou
01:14:37.480 fearest
01:14:37.900 God
01:14:38.360 seeing
01:14:42.180 thou
01:14:42.420 hast
01:14:42.680 not
01:14:42.920 withheld
01:14:43.360 thy
01:14:43.620 son
01:14:43.940 thine
01:14:44.240 only
01:14:44.520 son
01:14:44.860 from
01:14:46.080 me
01:14:46.340 and
01:14:47.620 Abraham
01:14:47.900 lifted up
01:14:48.500 his eyes
01:14:48.860 and looked
01:14:49.340 and behold
01:14:50.980 behind him
01:14:52.040 a ram
01:14:53.120 caught in
01:14:53.580 a thicket
01:14:53.960 by his
01:14:54.340 thorns
01:14:54.760 by his
01:14:55.480 horns
01:14:55.760 and Abraham
01:14:57.380 went and
01:14:57.840 took the
01:14:58.160 ram
01:14:58.420 and offered
01:14:59.800 him up
01:15:00.080 for a burnt
01:15:00.520 offering
01:15:00.940 in the
01:15:03.080 stead of
01:15:03.400 his son
01:15:03.800 and Abraham
01:15:06.440 called the
01:15:06.920 name of that
01:15:07.340 place
01:15:07.740 Jehovah
01:15:09.080 Jira
01:15:09.520 as it is
01:15:11.020 said to
01:15:11.360 this day
01:15:11.840 in the
01:15:13.180 mount of
01:15:13.560 the Lord
01:15:13.980 it shall
01:15:14.860 be seen
01:15:15.340 and the
01:15:18.620 angel of
01:15:19.020 the Lord
01:15:19.320 called
01:15:19.680 unto
01:15:19.920 Abraham
01:15:20.240 out of
01:15:20.680 heaven
01:15:20.880 the
01:15:21.080 second
01:15:21.340 time
01:15:21.720 and said
01:15:22.900 by
01:15:24.640 myself
01:15:25.120 have I
01:15:25.540 sworn
01:15:25.880 saith
01:15:26.260 the
01:15:26.460 Lord
01:15:26.720 for
01:15:26.940 because
01:15:27.300 thou
01:15:27.500 hast
01:15:27.760 done
01:15:27.980 this
01:15:28.200 thing
01:15:28.460 and
01:15:28.600 has
01:15:28.840 not
01:15:29.140 withheld
01:15:29.940 thy
01:15:30.180 son
01:15:30.520 thine
01:15:31.040 only
01:15:31.380 son
01:15:31.760 that
01:15:33.400 in
01:15:33.600 blessing
01:15:34.020 I
01:15:34.440 will
01:15:34.600 bless
01:15:34.920 thee
01:15:35.220 and
01:15:36.420 in
01:15:36.580 multiplying
01:15:37.180 I
01:15:37.840 will
01:15:37.980 multiply
01:15:38.440 thy
01:15:38.740 seed
01:15:39.120 as
01:15:39.340 the
01:15:39.500 stars
01:15:39.840 of
01:15:40.040 the
01:15:40.180 heaven
01:15:40.420 and
01:15:40.780 as
01:15:40.940 the
01:15:41.140 sand
01:15:41.520 which
01:15:41.720 is
01:15:41.860 upon
01:15:42.160 the
01:15:42.360 seashore
01:15:42.820 and
01:15:43.460 thy
01:15:43.640 seed
01:15:43.860 shall
01:15:44.100 possess
01:15:44.440 the
01:15:44.680 gate
01:15:44.940 of
01:15:45.720 his
01:15:45.860 enemies
01:15:46.220 and
01:15:47.620 in
01:15:47.760 thy
01:15:47.980 seed
01:15:48.200 shall
01:15:48.420 all
01:15:48.680 the
01:15:48.860 nations
01:15:49.200 of
01:15:49.400 the
01:15:49.540 earth
01:15:49.720 be
01:15:49.940 blessed
01:15:50.360 because
01:15:51.280 thou
01:15:51.520 hast
01:15:51.980 obeyed
01:15:53.020 my
01:15:53.340 voice
01:15:53.720 so
01:15:57.500 Abraham
01:15:57.780 returned
01:15:58.240 unto
01:15:58.440 his
01:15:58.660 young
01:15:58.860 men
01:15:59.080 and
01:15:59.200 they
01:15:59.340 rose
01:15:59.580 up
01:15:59.800 and
01:15:59.920 went
01:16:00.100 together
01:16:00.460 to
01:16:00.660 Beersheba
01:16:01.200 and
01:16:01.740 Abraham
01:16:02.060 dwelt
01:16:02.580 at
01:16:02.780 Beersheba
01:16:03.340 and
01:16:05.400 it
01:16:05.500 came
01:16:05.660 to
01:16:05.820 pass
01:16:06.100 after
01:16:06.400 these
01:16:06.640 things
01:16:07.020 that
01:16:07.740 it
01:16:07.820 was
01:16:07.940 told
01:16:08.200 Abraham
01:16:08.600 saying
01:16:10.020 behold
01:16:11.260 Milcah
01:16:11.880 she
01:16:12.160 hath
01:16:12.360 also
01:16:12.640 born
01:16:12.880 children
01:16:13.220 unto
01:16:13.500 thy
01:16:13.760 brother
01:16:14.100 Nahor
01:16:14.560 and
01:16:16.680 Sarah
01:16:16.920 was
01:16:17.140 107
01:16:17.880 and
01:16:18.040 20
01:16:18.240 years
01:16:18.540 old
01:16:18.860 those
01:16:20.100 were
01:16:20.220 the
01:16:20.360 years
01:16:20.620 of
01:16:20.760 the
01:16:20.880 life
01:16:21.080 of
01:16:21.280 Sarah
01:16:21.560 and
01:16:22.060 Sarah
01:16:22.300 died
01:16:22.680 in
01:16:22.920 Kirjatharba
01:16:23.640 the
01:16:24.580 same
01:16:24.820 as
01:16:24.980 Hebron
01:16:25.460 in
01:16:25.680 the
01:16:25.800 land
01:16:26.040 of
01:16:26.200 Canaan
01:16:26.520 and
01:16:27.360 Abraham
01:16:27.640 came
01:16:28.020 to
01:16:28.180 mourn
01:16:28.420 for
01:16:28.620 Sarah
01:16:28.960 and
01:16:30.320 to
01:16:30.440 weep
01:16:30.620 for
01:16:30.780 her
01:16:31.020 well
01:16:32.080 I
01:16:34.200 I
01:16:34.220 don't
01:16:34.480 exactly
01:16:34.880 know
01:16:35.080 what
01:16:35.260 to
01:16:35.380 do
01:16:35.520 now
01:16:35.860 because
01:16:38.780 that
01:16:39.220 I'll review
01:16:56.880 what we've
01:16:57.420 what we've
01:16:58.420 covered
01:16:58.700 and
01:17:00.320 then
01:17:00.460 I'll
01:17:00.620 bring
01:17:00.820 this
01:17:01.040 to
01:17:01.240 a
01:17:01.380 close
01:17:01.680 we can
01:17:02.120 have
01:17:02.300 some
01:17:02.500 more
01:17:02.640 questions
01:17:03.120 than
01:17:03.660 would
01:17:03.840 be
01:17:04.100 usual
01:17:04.880 tonight
01:17:05.280 so
01:17:06.400 what have
01:17:10.500 we established
01:17:11.140 by this
01:17:11.740 point
01:17:12.120 the
01:17:16.400 stories
01:17:16.760 that
01:17:16.940 have
01:17:17.060 been
01:17:17.240 revealed
01:17:17.600 so
01:17:17.880 far
01:17:18.140 are
01:17:18.360 something
01:17:18.780 like
01:17:19.560 they
01:17:22.320 contain
01:17:22.640 the
01:17:22.840 idea
01:17:23.140 that
01:17:23.420 there's
01:17:23.680 something
01:17:24.080 divine
01:17:27.780 that's
01:17:29.900 analogous
01:17:30.540 to the
01:17:30.840 human
01:17:31.100 capacity
01:17:31.660 for
01:17:32.140 communication
01:17:33.420 and
01:17:33.700 attention
01:17:34.140 that's
01:17:35.620 at
01:17:36.160 the
01:17:36.520 that
01:17:37.760 operates
01:17:38.160 at the
01:17:38.480 genesis
01:17:38.820 of being
01:17:39.280 itself
01:17:39.720 that's
01:17:43.040 the
01:17:43.140 initial
01:17:43.460 account
01:17:43.820 in the
01:17:44.100 old
01:17:44.260 testament
01:17:44.600 it's
01:17:47.140 an
01:17:47.240 account
01:17:47.520 that
01:17:47.760 places
01:17:48.160 the
01:17:49.040 role
01:17:49.260 of
01:17:49.440 spirit
01:17:49.980 centrally
01:17:52.160 in the
01:17:53.060 nature
01:17:54.060 of being
01:17:54.560 now
01:17:56.840 I'm not
01:17:57.100 exactly
01:17:57.420 sure
01:17:57.640 what to
01:17:57.940 make
01:17:58.140 of that
01:17:58.520 because
01:17:59.620 in
01:17:59.820 some
01:18:00.020 ways
01:18:00.220 I'm
01:18:00.440 as
01:18:00.580 materialistically
01:18:01.500 oriented
01:18:02.440 as
01:18:02.920 modern
01:18:03.720 people
01:18:04.020 typically
01:18:04.400 are
01:18:04.800 but
01:18:06.260 the
01:18:07.240 stories
01:18:07.560 make sense
01:18:08.140 to me
01:18:08.480 in many
01:18:08.900 ways
01:18:09.360 the
01:18:11.300 idea
01:18:11.580 that
01:18:11.800 there's
01:18:12.040 something
01:18:12.460 world
01:18:14.420 creating
01:18:14.920 about
01:18:15.260 human
01:18:15.920 consciousness
01:18:16.440 and that
01:18:17.900 that's
01:18:18.160 akin
01:18:18.460 in some
01:18:18.900 sense
01:18:19.300 to
01:18:19.600 the
01:18:20.220 divine
01:18:20.580 force
01:18:21.060 that
01:18:21.340 called
01:18:22.180 order
01:18:22.800 out
01:18:23.020 of
01:18:23.140 chaos
01:18:23.440 at
01:18:23.660 the
01:18:23.780 beginning
01:18:24.020 of
01:18:24.200 time
01:18:24.580 seems
01:18:25.380 to me
01:18:25.660 to be
01:18:26.060 a
01:18:26.540 very
01:18:26.720 powerful
01:18:27.240 metaphysical
01:18:28.120 idea
01:18:28.560 and it
01:18:29.420 also
01:18:29.660 seems
01:18:29.960 to me
01:18:30.220 to be
01:18:30.540 an
01:18:30.780 idea
01:18:31.080 that
01:18:31.300 is
01:18:31.700 immovably
01:18:33.300 at
01:18:33.720 the
01:18:33.940 foundation
01:18:34.420 of
01:18:34.840 western
01:18:35.580 culture
01:18:36.020 because
01:18:37.280 our
01:18:37.540 entire
01:18:37.920 legal
01:18:38.280 system
01:18:38.780 our
01:18:39.200 society
01:18:39.740 our
01:18:40.660 mutual
01:18:42.160 expectations
01:18:43.040 all of
01:18:43.860 that
01:18:44.060 are
01:18:44.220 conditioned
01:18:44.640 to the
01:18:45.200 final
01:18:46.560 degree
01:18:47.040 by
01:18:48.140 our
01:18:49.000 presupposition
01:18:50.860 that each
01:18:51.340 of us
01:18:51.620 has an
01:18:52.060 intrinsic
01:18:52.500 value
01:18:53.060 that
01:18:53.940 transcends
01:18:54.660 the
01:18:55.000 local
01:18:55.680 conditions
01:18:56.160 of our
01:18:56.560 being
01:18:56.880 and
01:18:58.260 it's
01:18:59.380 with
01:18:59.820 that
01:19:00.080 presupposition
01:19:00.840 that
01:19:01.060 we've
01:19:01.260 been
01:19:01.400 able
01:19:01.660 to
01:19:01.960 establish
01:19:02.920 the
01:19:03.260 society
01:19:03.860 that
01:19:04.980 functions
01:19:05.620 a society
01:19:06.160 that functions
01:19:06.760 and functions
01:19:07.360 well
01:19:07.780 and it
01:19:08.460 has
01:19:08.680 its
01:19:08.860 current
01:19:09.240 characterization
01:19:10.420 and that's
01:19:11.660 a
01:19:11.800 non
01:19:12.140 it's
01:19:13.660 an
01:19:13.800 unlikely
01:19:14.340 occurrence
01:19:14.860 and it's
01:19:15.380 a
01:19:15.520 non
01:19:15.800 trivial
01:19:16.140 reality
01:19:16.760 and I
01:19:18.060 don't
01:19:18.200 see
01:19:18.380 any
01:19:18.600 way
01:19:18.760 out
01:19:18.960 of
01:19:19.100 that
01:19:19.420 way
01:19:21.840 out
01:19:22.020 of
01:19:22.120 that
01:19:22.260 conclusion
01:19:22.640 I
01:19:22.820 don't
01:19:22.960 see
01:19:23.180 anything
01:19:23.620 that
01:19:23.860 that
01:19:24.740 can
01:19:24.900 easily
01:19:25.200 be
01:19:25.420 replaced
01:19:25.920 with
01:19:26.260 and so
01:19:28.440 God
01:19:28.700 calls
01:19:29.160 being
01:19:31.220 into
01:19:31.620 order
01:19:32.340 into
01:19:32.620 being
01:19:32.860 out
01:19:33.020 of
01:19:33.140 chaos
01:19:33.420 at
01:19:33.600 the
01:19:33.700 beginning
01:19:33.960 of
01:19:34.160 time
01:19:34.480 and
01:19:35.500 attributes
01:19:35.840 to
01:19:36.040 human
01:19:36.280 beings
01:19:36.580 the
01:19:36.780 same
01:19:37.020 essential
01:19:37.400 capacity
01:19:38.000 then we
01:19:38.560 turn to
01:19:38.900 Adam
01:19:39.120 and Eve
01:19:39.540 in the
01:19:39.880 garden
01:19:40.200 and
01:19:40.460 they're
01:19:40.640 unconscious
01:19:41.180 by
01:19:41.540 all
01:19:41.800 appearances
01:19:42.340 allied
01:19:44.380 tightly
01:19:44.820 with
01:19:45.060 God
01:19:45.340 but
01:19:45.520 unconscious
01:19:46.040 they
01:19:46.300 don't
01:19:46.500 seem
01:19:46.720 aware
01:19:46.960 of
01:19:47.100 the
01:19:47.220 future
01:19:47.560 they
01:19:47.920 don't
01:19:48.100 seem
01:19:48.300 aware
01:19:48.560 of
01:19:48.700 themselves
01:19:48.980 they
01:19:49.420 don't
01:19:49.580 seem
01:19:49.780 aware
01:19:50.040 of
01:19:50.180 their
01:19:50.300 own
01:19:50.460 vulnerability
01:19:50.960 they
01:19:53.960 make
01:19:54.200 the
01:19:54.380 fatal
01:19:54.640 error
01:19:55.060 of
01:19:55.840 having
01:19:56.100 their
01:19:56.300 eyes
01:19:56.520 open
01:19:56.880 they
01:19:57.480 discover
01:19:57.880 their
01:19:58.120 own
01:19:58.300 vulnerability
01:19:58.760 they
01:19:59.720 also
01:19:59.980 discover
01:20:00.440 their
01:20:00.640 capacity
01:20:01.080 for
01:20:01.340 evil
01:20:01.680 we
01:20:02.420 reviewed
01:20:02.800 that
01:20:03.080 to
01:20:03.260 some
01:20:03.480 degree
01:20:03.880 what's
01:20:05.560 the
01:20:05.680 association
01:20:06.320 because
01:20:06.640 it's
01:20:06.880 the
01:20:07.020 tree
01:20:07.200 of
01:20:07.320 the
01:20:07.460 knowledge
01:20:07.820 of
01:20:08.940 good
01:20:09.100 and
01:20:09.240 evil
01:20:09.520 the
01:20:10.800 fruit
01:20:11.060 of
01:20:11.200 which
01:20:11.400 they
01:20:11.640 eat
01:20:12.000 what's
01:20:13.160 the
01:20:13.280 association
01:20:13.880 between
01:20:14.260 the
01:20:14.440 discovery
01:20:14.840 of
01:20:15.040 vulnerability
01:20:15.420 and
01:20:16.160 the
01:20:16.280 emergence
01:20:16.600 of
01:20:16.820 moral
01:20:17.060 knowledge
01:20:17.580 it's
01:20:18.560 something
01:20:18.880 like
01:20:19.260 as
01:20:19.440 far
01:20:19.660 as
01:20:19.780 I
01:20:19.900 can
01:20:20.060 tell
01:20:20.380 that
01:20:21.020 you
01:20:21.180 actually
01:20:21.660 don't
01:20:22.040 know
01:20:22.220 how
01:20:22.440 to
01:20:22.600 be
01:20:22.780 evil
01:20:23.200 or
01:20:23.760 to
01:20:23.900 be
01:20:24.040 good
01:20:24.340 until
01:20:24.900 you're
01:20:25.120 actually
01:20:25.420 aware
01:20:25.760 consciously
01:20:26.280 of
01:20:26.520 your
01:20:26.640 own
01:20:26.820 vulnerability
01:20:27.220 because
01:20:27.780 the
01:20:28.600 essence
01:20:28.980 of
01:20:29.180 evil
01:20:29.480 is
01:20:29.700 the
01:20:29.860 exploitation
01:20:30.380 of
01:20:30.780 vulnerability
01:20:31.300 perhaps
01:20:32.660 for the
01:20:33.100 sake
01:20:33.380 of
01:20:33.540 that
01:20:33.720 exploitation
01:20:34.240 and
01:20:35.300 I
01:20:35.460 can't
01:20:35.780 understand
01:20:36.300 how
01:20:36.520 to
01:20:36.700 hurt
01:20:37.040 someone
01:20:37.940 until
01:20:39.060 I
01:20:39.300 know
01:20:39.480 exactly
01:20:39.960 how
01:20:40.220 I
01:20:40.480 can
01:20:40.640 be
01:20:40.820 hurt
01:20:41.040 myself
01:20:41.560 and
01:20:42.640 I
01:20:42.800 can't
01:20:43.120 understand
01:20:43.560 how
01:20:43.780 I
01:20:43.940 can
01:20:44.080 be
01:20:44.220 hurt
01:20:44.400 myself
01:20:44.920 until
01:20:45.540 I
01:20:45.740 become
01:20:46.060 cognizant
01:20:46.780 of
01:20:46.940 my
01:20:47.120 mortal
01:20:47.420 limitations
01:20:48.020 until
01:20:48.420 I
01:20:48.580 understand
01:20:49.040 what
01:20:49.240 brings
01:20:49.540 me
01:20:49.740 pain
01:20:50.080 until
01:20:50.640 I
01:20:50.920 understand
01:20:51.700 the
01:20:51.920 suffering
01:20:52.280 that
01:20:52.480 goes
01:20:52.720 along

01:20:54.540 my

01:20:58.380 and
01:20:59.380 with
01:20:59.540 the
01:21:00.980 accrual
01:21:01.880 of

01:21:02.640 of

01:21:04.180 and

01:21:05.060 Adam
01:21:05.600 and

01:21:05.860 are

01:21:06.460 of
01:21:06.580 paradise
01:21:06.940 and
01:21:07.160 history
01:21:07.520 begins
01:21:08.000 and
01:21:08.560 that
01:21:08.720 seems
01:21:09.000 right
01:21:09.300 to
01:21:09.480 me
01:21:09.640 because
01:21:10.000 I
01:21:10.700 don't
01:21:10.920 think
01:21:11.120 that
01:21:11.280 history
01:21:11.620 did
01:21:11.860 begin
01:21:12.180 before
01:21:12.480 human
01:21:12.780 beings
01:21:13.040 became
01:21:13.340 self-conscious
01:21:14.000 so
01:21:15.220 there's
01:21:15.400 something
01:21:15.620 about
01:21:15.900 that
01:21:16.120 that's
01:21:16.340 right
01:21:16.680 because
01:21:17.180 history
01:21:17.480 doesn't
01:21:17.740 really
01:21:17.900 begin
01:21:18.220 until
01:21:18.500 people
01:21:18.800 become
01:21:19.100 aware
01:21:19.340 of
01:21:19.480 the
01:21:19.580 future
01:21:19.960 history
01:21:20.780 doesn't
01:21:21.080 really
01:21:21.240 begin
01:21:21.480 until
01:21:21.740 people
01:21:22.360 work
01:21:22.840 and
01:21:23.020 start
01:21:23.300 to
01:21:23.500 build
01:21:23.900 right
01:21:24.160 we
01:21:24.320 still
01:21:24.600 live
01:21:25.240 we would
01:21:26.000 still
01:21:26.240 be
01:21:26.440 ensconced
01:21:26.980 in
01:21:27.140 essentially
01:21:27.600 an
01:21:27.800 animal
01:21:28.100 existence
01:21:28.620 until
01:21:29.640 we're
01:21:29.960 aware
01:21:30.440 of
01:21:30.620 the
01:21:30.760 future
01:21:31.060 and
01:21:31.260 start
01:21:31.540 to
01:21:31.760 buttress
01:21:32.180 ourselves
01:21:32.540 against
01:21:32.920 it
01:21:33.160 start
01:21:33.620 to
01:21:33.780 wear
01:21:33.960 clothing
01:21:34.320 start
01:21:34.580 to
01:21:34.720 build
01:21:35.000 buildings
01:21:35.340 start
01:21:35.580 to
01:21:35.740 make
01:21:36.020 cities
01:21:36.420 all
01:21:37.020 in
01:21:37.700 all
01:21:38.520 in
01:21:38.680 consequence
01:21:39.080 of
01:21:39.380 having
01:21:39.620 become
01:21:39.960 aware
01:21:40.300 of
01:21:40.760 the
01:21:40.900 fact
01:21:41.160 that
01:21:41.280 we're
01:21:41.420 fragile
01:21:41.780 and
01:21:42.280 that
01:21:42.420 the
01:21:42.560 future
01:21:42.820 is
01:21:43.000 a
01:21:43.120 dangerous
01:21:43.460 place
01:21:43.920 so
01:21:44.500 that
01:21:44.680 seems
01:21:44.920 to
01:21:45.080 me
01:21:45.200 to
01:21:45.300 be
01:21:45.440 existentially
01:21:46.000 correct
01:21:46.400 and
01:21:46.580 then
01:21:46.760 we
01:21:47.180 have
01:21:47.340 the
01:21:47.480 story
01:21:47.740 of
01:21:47.880 Cain
01:21:48.080 and
01:21:48.200 Abel
01:21:48.480 brilliantly
01:21:49.480 placed
01:21:49.940 immediately
01:21:50.360 afterwards
01:21:50.880 and
01:21:51.160 so
01:21:51.280 those
01:21:51.500 are
01:21:51.600 the
01:21:51.720 first
01:21:52.180 two
01:21:52.380 people
01:21:52.720 in
01:21:53.260 history
01:21:53.760 essentially
01:21:54.600 and
01:21:55.840 they
01:21:55.980 make
01:21:56.200 sacrifices
01:21:56.860 so
01:21:57.140 that
01:21:57.340 goes
01:21:57.580 along
01:21:57.880 with
01:21:58.040 the
01:21:58.160 idea
01:21:58.440 of
01:21:58.580 the
01:21:58.700 discovery
01:21:59.080 of
01:21:59.280 work
01:21:59.440 the
01:21:59.600 necessity
01:21:59.980 of
01:22:00.220 work
01:22:00.400 and
01:22:00.520 the
01:22:00.620 discovery
01:22:00.960 of
01:22:01.140 the
01:22:01.260 future
01:22:01.560 and
01:22:03.040 then
01:22:03.200 exactly
01:22:03.600 what
01:22:03.800 you'd
01:22:03.980 expect
01:22:04.300 would
01:22:04.480 happen
01:22:04.860 one
01:22:06.620 segment
01:22:08.120 of
01:22:08.440 mankind
01:22:08.840 let's
01:22:09.400 say
01:22:09.560 makes
01:22:09.900 the
01:22:10.120 sacrifices
01:22:10.660 properly
01:22:11.240 and
01:22:11.600 prevails
01:22:12.120 and
01:22:12.300 the
01:22:12.420 other
01:22:12.620 segment
01:22:13.020 makes
01:22:13.420 the
01:22:13.640 sacrifices
01:22:14.180 improperly
01:22:14.980 and
01:22:15.540 fails
01:22:16.020 and
01:22:16.860 that's
01:22:17.140 perfectly
01:22:17.560 reasonable
01:22:18.180 given
01:22:18.520 what
01:22:18.740 you
01:22:18.880 see
01:22:19.060 around
01:22:19.360 you
01:22:19.520 because
01:22:19.780 that's
01:22:20.080 what
01:22:20.200 seems
01:22:20.420 to
01:22:20.600 happen
01:22:20.860 all
01:22:21.060 the
01:22:21.200 time
01:22:21.540 and
01:22:22.180 then
01:22:22.400 more
01:22:23.020 interestingly
01:22:23.580 I
01:22:23.820 would
01:22:28.040 embitterment
01:22:28.960 right
01:22:30.320 and
01:22:31.740 that
01:22:31.940 embitterment
01:22:32.500 produces
01:22:33.100 a
01:22:34.540 hatred
01:22:34.880 for
01:22:35.200 being
01:22:35.640 and
01:22:36.440 a
01:22:36.580 desire
01:22:36.940 for
01:22:37.240 revenge
01:22:37.800 that
01:22:38.540 seems
01:22:38.860 perfectly
01:22:39.340 appropriate
01:22:39.880 when I
01:22:40.740 look at
01:22:41.040 people
01:22:41.280 who
01:22:41.460 are
01:22:41.620 bitter
01:22:41.900 and
01:22:42.460 who
01:22:42.580 want
01:22:42.860 revenge
01:22:43.420 it's
01:22:44.480 generally
01:22:44.800 because
01:22:45.160 their
01:22:45.380 sacrificial
01:22:45.920 efforts
01:22:46.340 have
01:22:46.560 failed
01:22:47.000 now
01:22:47.920 I'm
01:22:48.160 loath
01:22:48.420 to
01:22:48.600 say
01:22:48.820 that
01:22:49.020 that's
01:22:49.360 a
01:22:49.720 matter
01:22:49.980 of
01:22:50.180 their
01:22:50.340 own
01:22:50.540 doing
01:22:50.820 although
01:22:51.100 sometimes
01:22:51.760 it
01:22:52.080 clearly
01:22:52.500 is
01:22:53.080 the
01:22:56.560 embittered
01:22:57.200 and
01:22:58.280 vengeful
01:22:58.880 complain
01:23:00.180 to
01:23:00.400 God
01:23:00.780 and
01:23:02.660 blame
01:23:03.040 him
01:23:03.280 for
01:23:03.460 the
01:23:03.640 structure
01:23:03.980 of
01:23:04.160 existence
01:23:04.760 you know
01:23:07.300 I read
01:23:07.720 about
01:23:07.980 the
01:23:08.180 Columbine
01:23:08.680 massacre
01:23:09.200 and
01:23:09.860 the
01:23:09.980 kids
01:23:10.200 who
01:23:10.480 undertook
01:23:12.120 it
01:23:12.360 that'll
01:23:14.420 make
01:23:14.820 your hair
01:23:15.140 stand
01:23:15.480 on end
01:23:15.920 if you
01:23:16.220 want
01:23:16.360 to
01:23:16.460 read
01:23:16.640 something
01:23:16.980 that
01:23:17.240 will
01:23:17.880 really
01:23:18.140 disturb
01:23:18.580 you
01:23:18.900 reading
01:23:20.340 Eric
01:23:20.660 Harris
01:23:21.000 writings
01:23:21.500 will
01:23:21.800 really
01:23:22.100 disturb
01:23:22.540 you
01:23:22.720 no
01:23:22.880 matter
01:23:23.060 how
01:23:23.260 much
01:23:23.480 you
01:23:23.640 know
01:23:23.800 about
01:23:24.040 human
01:23:24.340 beings
01:23:24.760 reading
01:23:25.640 Eric
01:23:25.960 Harris
01:23:26.280 writings
01:23:27.140 will
01:23:27.400 disturb
01:23:27.820 you
01:23:28.100 and
01:23:28.980 Harris
01:23:29.360 is
01:23:29.600 a
01:23:29.740 cane
01:23:30.100 you
01:23:30.480 know
01:23:30.640 he
01:23:31.620 says
01:23:31.920 it
01:23:32.100 straightforwardly
01:23:32.980 he
01:23:33.660 hates
01:23:33.920 human
01:23:34.200 beings
01:23:34.640 hates
01:23:35.580 being
01:23:36.060 itself
01:23:36.520 he
01:23:37.000 would
01:23:37.120 destroy
01:23:37.440 everything
01:23:37.980 if it
01:23:38.300 was
01:23:38.440 within
01:23:38.680 his
01:23:38.840 power
01:23:39.060 to
01:23:39.240 do
01:23:39.400 that
01:23:39.680 and
01:23:40.660 of
01:23:40.860 course
01:23:41.060 him
01:23:41.260 and
01:23:41.360 his
01:23:41.520 colleague
01:23:41.960 were
01:23:43.060 motivated
01:23:44.580 to produce
01:23:45.040 far more
01:23:45.520 carnage
01:23:45.940 than they
01:23:46.260 managed
01:23:46.680 that
01:23:46.940 day
01:23:47.260 what
01:23:48.240 was
01:23:48.480 successful
01:23:49.000 was
01:23:49.260 only
01:23:49.440 a
01:23:49.620 fraction
01:23:49.960 of
01:23:50.160 what
01:23:50.300 they
01:23:50.460 had
01:23:50.660 planned
01:23:51.100 and
01:23:52.260 Harris
01:23:52.840 said
01:23:53.200 very
01:23:53.440 straightforwardly
01:23:54.180 that
01:23:54.360 he
01:23:54.500 had
01:23:55.260 set
01:23:55.480 himself
01:23:55.800 up
01:23:56.000 as
01:23:56.140 the
01:23:56.300 judge
01:23:56.500 of
01:23:56.660 being
01:23:56.900 and
01:23:57.080 that
01:23:57.200 it
01:23:57.340 lacked
01:23:57.660 all
01:23:58.200 utility
01:23:58.660 in
01:23:58.880 his
01:23:59.060 eyes
01:23:59.380 human
01:24:00.340 beings
01:24:00.740 certainly
01:24:01.380 should
01:24:02.260 all
01:24:02.440 be
01:24:02.600 removed
01:24:03.920 from
01:24:04.220 the
01:24:04.380 face
01:24:04.640 of
01:24:04.820 existence
01:24:05.560 because
01:24:06.460 of
01:24:06.660 their
01:24:06.900 pathology
01:24:08.000 and
01:24:08.560 the
01:24:08.720 fundamental
01:24:09.300 horrors
01:24:10.820 of
01:24:11.020 being
01:24:11.440 itself
01:24:11.940 so
01:24:13.220 there's
01:24:13.440 nothing
01:24:13.700 in the
01:24:13.980 Cain
01:24:14.160 and Abel
01:24:14.480 story
01:24:14.800 that
01:24:14.960 isn't
01:24:15.240 real
01:24:15.600 it's
01:24:15.920 real
01:24:16.300 and
01:24:16.520 Cain
01:24:16.980 complains
01:24:17.460 to
01:24:17.620 God
01:24:17.860 as
01:24:18.060 people
01:24:18.380 will
01:24:18.660 when
01:24:18.900 their
01:24:19.340 dreams
01:24:19.640 are
01:24:19.820 dashed
01:24:20.460 and
01:24:20.920 that
01:24:21.160 goes
01:24:21.640 for
01:24:21.840 people
01:24:22.100 who
01:24:25.480 it's
01:24:26.100 harder
01:24:26.440 I suppose
01:24:26.900 if
01:24:27.080 you're
01:24:27.240 atheistic
01:24:27.740 to
01:24:27.940 figure
01:24:28.100 out
01:24:28.280 who
01:24:28.380 to
01:24:28.520 blame
01:24:28.860 but
01:24:29.460 that
01:24:29.620 doesn't
01:24:29.880 mean
01:24:30.040 that
01:24:30.180 the
01:24:30.360 sentiment
01:24:30.780 well
01:24:31.420 it
01:24:33.620 doesn't
01:24:33.900 mean
01:24:34.060 that
01:24:34.200 the
01:24:34.360 sentiment
01:24:34.720 is
01:24:35.000 any
01:24:35.180 different
01:24:35.580 right
01:24:36.780 the
01:24:36.960 same
01:24:37.180 drama
01:24:37.580 is
01:24:37.780 being
01:24:38.020 enacted
01:24:38.460 you
01:24:39.040 shake
01:24:39.460 your
01:24:39.660 fist
01:24:39.960 at
01:24:40.160 the
01:24:40.320 structure
01:24:40.640 of
01:24:40.820 being
01:24:41.060 rather
01:24:41.360 than
01:24:41.600 at
01:24:41.780 God
01:24:42.060 himself
01:24:42.540 but
01:24:42.820 it
01:24:43.140 doesn't
01:24:43.340 make
01:24:43.520 any
01:24:43.700 difference
01:24:44.180 except
01:24:44.960 in
01:24:45.220 the
01:24:45.360 details
01:24:45.820 so
01:24:50.160 God
01:24:50.520 responds
01:24:51.220 to
01:24:51.420 Cain
01:24:51.600 and
01:24:51.740 tells
01:24:52.020 him
01:24:52.180 that
01:24:52.400 he's
01:24:53.580 got
01:24:55.480 before
01:24:55.640 he
01:24:55.780 gets
01:24:55.940 his
01:24:56.100 sacrificial
01:24:56.580 house
01:24:56.900 in
01:24:57.060 order
01:24:57.300 and
01:24:58.280 even
01:24:58.480 worse
01:24:58.840 he
01:24:59.020 says
01:24:59.320 that
01:24:59.700 Cain
01:25:02.080 is
01:25:02.940 the
01:25:03.300 architect
01:25:04.040 of his
01:25:04.440 own
01:25:04.600 downfall
01:25:05.120 and
01:25:06.320 the
01:25:06.460 invited
01:25:06.880 catastrophe
01:25:08.460 into
01:25:09.380 his
01:25:09.620 own
01:25:09.780 house
01:25:10.040 willingly
01:25:10.960 and
01:25:12.260 entered
01:25:12.600 into
01:25:12.840 a
01:25:13.020 creative
01:25:13.300 union
01:25:13.640 with
01:25:13.900 it
01:25:14.080 and
01:25:14.540 therefore
01:25:14.840 brought
01:25:15.160 about
01:25:15.380 his
01:25:15.580 own
01:25:15.740 demise
01:25:16.120 and
01:25:17.240 it's
01:25:17.440 that
01:25:17.700 additional
01:25:18.220 self
01:25:18.600 knowledge
01:25:18.920 you can
01:25:19.220 imagine
01:25:19.560 too
01:25:19.840 you know
01:25:20.120 imagine
01:25:20.520 that
01:25:20.760 you're
01:25:21.540 facing
01:25:22.500 your
01:25:22.700 life
01:25:22.900 you're
01:25:23.080 facing
01:25:23.360 the
01:25:23.540 failures
01:25:23.880 of
01:25:24.060 your
01:25:24.180 life
01:25:24.400 and
01:25:24.540 let's
01:25:24.720 say
01:25:24.840 that
01:25:25.000 you've
01:25:25.200 had
01:25:25.440 a
01:25:25.960 failed
01:25:26.220 life
01:25:26.640 and
01:25:28.180 you're
01:25:28.360 bitter
01:25:28.540 about
01:25:28.900 that
01:25:29.220 and
01:25:29.600 then
01:25:29.760 you
01:25:29.960 meditate
01:25:30.340 upon
01:25:30.760 it
01:25:30.920 and
01:25:31.100 you
01:25:31.260 think
01:25:31.560 why
01:25:32.300 has
01:25:32.520 this
01:25:32.680 come
01:25:32.840 about
01:25:33.120 and
01:25:33.320 then
01:25:33.460 you
01:25:33.620 think
01:25:33.900 well
01:25:35.980 perhaps
01:25:36.300 I
01:25:36.460 did
01:25:36.600 something
01:25:36.900 wrong
01:25:37.280 you know
01:25:38.180 when
01:25:38.340 Alexander
01:25:38.820 Solzhenitsyn
01:25:39.460 wrote
01:25:39.760 the
01:25:39.900 Gulag
01:25:40.180 Archipelago
01:25:40.800 which
01:25:41.560 is
01:25:41.680 the
01:25:41.820 book
01:25:42.000 that
01:25:42.260 detailed
01:25:43.060 the
01:25:43.280 catastrophes
01:25:44.020 of
01:25:44.160 the
01:25:44.320 Soviet
01:25:44.600 Union
01:25:44.860 and
01:25:45.240 helped
01:25:45.460 bring
01:25:45.720 it
01:25:45.860 down
01:25:46.180 there's
01:25:47.800 one
01:25:48.020 part
01:25:48.500 of
01:25:48.560 that
01:25:48.700 book
01:25:48.880 that
01:25:49.020 just
01:25:49.200 struck
01:25:49.440 me
01:25:49.660 so
01:25:49.980 viciously
01:25:51.840 when
01:25:52.000 I
01:25:52.120 read
01:25:52.280 it
01:25:52.400 he
01:25:52.560 was
01:25:53.360 in
01:25:53.500 the
01:25:53.620 Gulag
01:25:54.620 and
01:25:55.140 he
01:25:55.300 was
01:25:55.600 there
01:25:55.740 for
01:25:55.880 a
01:25:56.000 very
01:25:56.120 long
01:25:56.300 time
01:25:56.560 and
01:25:56.700 he
01:25:57.800 said
01:25:58.140 that
01:25:59.060 he
01:25:59.600 observed
01:26:00.020 a variety
01:26:00.540 of
01:26:00.700 people
01:26:01.000 in
01:26:01.300 the
01:26:01.440 camps
01:26:01.700 who
01:26:01.860 he
01:26:02.020 really
01:26:02.280 admired
01:26:02.660 they
01:26:03.160 were
01:26:03.320 rare
01:26:03.600 they
01:26:04.040 were
01:26:04.160 usually
01:26:04.480 religious
01:26:04.900 believers
01:26:05.300 in
01:26:05.540 his
01:26:05.800 experience
01:26:06.980 who
01:26:07.820 were
01:26:08.160 not
01:26:08.900 participating
01:26:09.680 in the
01:26:10.180 pathology
01:26:10.760 of the
01:26:11.120 camps
01:26:11.480 at
01:26:12.040 all
01:26:12.420 period
01:26:13.100 no
01:26:13.840 matter
01:26:14.120 what
01:26:14.460 he
01:26:14.900 said
01:26:15.100 he
01:26:15.200 learned
01:26:15.460 a lot
01:26:15.760 from
01:26:15.960 watching
01:26:16.320 those
01:26:16.540 people
01:26:16.800 he
01:26:16.940 had
01:26:17.080 a
01:26:17.160 hard
01:26:17.300 time
01:26:17.500 believing
01:26:17.820 that
01:26:18.000 they
01:26:18.140 even
01:26:18.380 existed
01:26:18.820 that
01:26:19.020 they
01:26:19.140 could
01:26:19.300 even
01:26:19.500 exist
01:26:19.900 but
01:26:20.540 he
01:26:20.620 said
01:26:20.800 that
01:26:20.940 one
01:26:21.140 of
01:26:21.280 the
01:26:21.420 things
01:26:21.740 that
01:26:21.960 he
01:26:22.300 was
01:26:23.080 brought
01:26:23.540 to
01:26:23.940 as
01:26:24.520 a
01:26:24.660 consequence
01:26:25.100 of
01:26:25.440 watching
01:26:25.780 those
01:26:26.020 people
01:26:26.340 live
01:26:26.720 their
01:26:27.120 contract
01:26:28.820 with
01:26:29.400 goodness
01:26:29.900 out
01:26:30.260 even
01:26:30.620 under
01:26:30.900 the
01:26:31.060 most
01:26:31.300 horrifying
01:26:31.760 of
01:26:31.940 conditions
01:26:32.340 was
01:26:32.700 that
01:26:32.960 it
01:26:34.200 was
01:26:34.400 possible
01:26:35.000 that
01:26:35.300 he
01:26:35.560 himself
01:26:36.200 was
01:26:36.900 responsible
01:26:37.600 for
01:26:38.600 his
01:26:38.900 position
01:26:39.480 in
01:26:39.780 the
01:26:39.940 camp
01:26:40.300 now
01:26:40.780 it's
01:26:40.920 a
01:26:41.020 very
01:26:41.280 dangerous
01:26:42.240 line
01:26:42.580 of
01:26:42.700 argumentation
01:26:43.520 you know
01:26:44.080 because
01:26:44.460 who
01:26:45.000 wants
01:26:45.340 to
01:26:45.500 be
01:26:45.620 the
01:26:45.780 one
01:26:46.040 who
01:26:46.440 blames
01:26:46.800 the
01:26:47.000 victim
01:26:47.300 for
01:26:47.580 the
01:26:47.740 catastrophe
01:26:48.280 you know
01:26:48.780 you have
01:26:49.320 to be
01:26:49.540 very
01:26:49.780 careful
01:26:50.220 when you
01:26:50.580 walk
01:26:50.820 down
01:26:51.060 that
01:26:51.340 road
01:26:51.600 but
01:26:52.020 Solzhenitsyn
01:26:52.540 was
01:26:52.740 speaking
01:26:53.040 about
01:26:53.340 himself
01:26:53.780 and
01:26:54.820 he
01:26:54.960 said
01:26:55.220 well
01:26:55.380 he
01:26:55.520 was
01:26:55.700 a
01:26:55.820 communist
01:26:56.140 you
01:26:56.740 know
01:26:56.940 and
01:26:57.960 he
01:26:58.600 arrogantly
01:27:00.600 and
01:27:01.080 forthrightly
01:27:02.140 moved
01:27:02.920 the
01:27:03.180 movement
01:27:03.560 out
01:27:03.840 into
01:27:04.040 the
01:27:04.220 world
01:27:04.520 and
01:27:05.740 had
01:27:06.080 not
01:27:06.660 fully
01:27:07.220 gone
01:27:07.900 over
01:27:08.180 his
01:27:08.440 life
01:27:08.760 with
01:27:08.980 a
01:27:09.180 fine
01:27:09.500 tooth
01:27:09.740 comb
01:27:10.040 to
01:27:10.220 find
01:27:10.500 out
01:27:10.720 what
01:27:11.120 mistakes
01:27:11.760 he
01:27:11.960 had
01:27:12.120 made
01:27:12.420 that
01:27:12.640 brought
01:27:13.000 him
01:27:13.320 so
01:27:13.700 low
01:27:14.200 but
01:27:14.860 his
01:27:15.040 contention
01:27:15.540 eventually
01:27:15.980 was
01:27:16.340 that
01:27:16.600 part
01:27:17.200 of
01:27:17.320 the
01:27:17.440 reason
01:27:17.680 that
01:27:17.840 he
01:27:17.940 ended
01:27:18.140 up
01:27:18.400 where
01:27:19.240 he
01:27:19.400 ended
01:27:19.580 up
01:27:19.820 was
01:27:20.040 because
01:27:20.620 he
01:27:20.920 and
01:27:21.520 many
01:27:21.820 others
01:27:22.300 had
01:27:22.800 completely
01:27:23.260 forfeited
01:27:23.800 their
01:27:23.980 relationship
01:27:24.440 with
01:27:24.700 the
01:27:24.820 truth
01:27:25.060 and
01:27:25.200 allowed
01:27:25.480 their
01:27:25.660 society
01:27:26.060 to
01:27:26.320 degenerate
01:27:27.120 into
01:27:27.480 deceit
01:27:28.460 and
01:27:28.840 tyrannical
01:27:29.860 catastrophe
01:27:30.500 without
01:27:31.300 mounting
01:27:32.740 sufficient
01:27:33.420 opposition
01:27:34.120 and
01:27:35.260 so
01:27:35.400 he
01:27:35.560 decided
01:27:36.000 when
01:27:36.240 he
01:27:36.360 was
01:27:36.560 in
01:27:36.800 the
01:27:37.320 camps
01:27:37.700 to
01:27:38.360 straighten
01:27:39.500 himself
01:27:39.880 out
01:27:40.380 bit
01:27:40.760 by
01:27:41.020 bit
01:27:41.440 and
01:27:42.060 that
01:27:42.600 culminated
01:27:43.200 in
01:27:43.400 the
01:27:43.560 production
01:27:43.940 of
01:27:44.160 the
01:27:44.300 Gulag
01:27:44.600 archipelago
01:27:45.140 and
01:27:45.340 that
01:27:45.540 book
01:27:45.900 really
01:27:46.700 demolished
01:27:48.020 once and
01:27:48.620 for all
01:27:49.100 any
01:27:49.500 moral
01:27:49.820 credibility
01:27:50.420 that
01:27:51.100 the
01:27:51.260 communist
01:27:51.640 totalitarian
01:27:52.380 systems
01:27:52.860 had
01:27:53.140 left
01:27:53.480 and
01:27:54.660 so
01:27:54.820 one
01:27:55.120 man
01:27:55.520 in
01:27:55.780 the
01:27:56.160 depths
01:27:56.540 of
01:27:56.860 catastrophe
01:27:57.740 who
01:27:58.340 determined
01:27:58.920 through
01:27:59.240 good
01:27:59.520 example
01:28:00.000 at least
01:28:00.440 in
01:28:00.620 part
01:28:00.860 to
01:28:01.320 stop
01:28:01.760 lying
01:28:02.280 produced
01:28:03.020 a
01:28:03.240 book
01:28:03.560 eventually
01:28:04.420 that
01:28:05.060 demolished
01:28:05.900 the
01:28:06.680 foundation
01:28:07.320 of
01:28:07.460 the
01:28:07.560 very
01:28:07.760 system
01:28:08.140 that
01:28:08.340 had
01:28:08.520 imprisoned
01:28:08.900 him
01:28:09.160 and
01:28:09.500 that
01:28:09.740 is
01:28:09.920 really
01:28:10.280 worth
01:28:10.620 thinking
01:28:11.000 about
01:28:11.280 that's
01:28:11.860 one
01:28:12.280 example
01:28:13.080 of
01:28:13.360 the
01:28:13.620 absolute
01:28:14.540 grandeur
01:28:15.420 of the
01:28:15.760 human
01:28:16.080 soul
01:28:16.600 and
01:28:17.220 the
01:28:17.440 capacity
01:28:18.020 for
01:28:18.320 transformation
01:28:18.840 that
01:28:19.600 it
01:28:19.740 has
01:28:20.040 when
01:28:20.280 let
01:28:20.560 loose
01:28:21.000 properly
01:28:21.540 on
01:28:21.800 the
01:28:21.940 world
01:28:22.220 so
01:28:24.300 let's
01:28:24.600 say
01:28:24.760 you're
01:28:25.020 conceptualizing
01:28:25.860 your own
01:28:26.260 failure
01:28:26.700 you know
01:28:27.160 and
01:28:27.500 you
01:28:27.600 meditated
01:28:28.100 on
01:28:28.320 it
01:28:28.420 and
01:28:28.540 you
01:28:28.660 come
01:28:28.880 to
01:28:29.000 the
01:28:29.160 conclusion
01:28:29.600 that
01:28:30.240 God
01:28:30.560 forced
01:28:30.940 Cain
01:28:31.280 to
01:28:31.580 hey
01:28:32.020 not
01:28:32.280 only
01:28:32.600 have
01:28:33.140 things
01:28:33.400 not
01:28:33.640 been
01:28:33.820 going
01:28:34.080 very
01:28:34.340 well
01:28:34.560 for
01:28:34.740 you
01:28:34.960 but
01:28:35.740 it's
01:28:35.880 actually
01:28:36.220 your
01:28:36.460 fault
01:28:36.940 and
01:28:37.800 not
01:28:37.960 only
01:28:38.120 that
01:28:38.360 you
01:28:38.560 brought
01:28:39.020 it
01:28:39.180 on
01:28:39.440 yourself
01:28:39.960 and
01:28:40.340 not
01:28:40.500 only
01:28:40.640 that
01:28:40.880 you
01:28:41.100 knew
01:28:41.360 it
01:28:41.500 all
01:28:41.680 the
01:28:41.860 time
01:28:42.300 well
01:28:43.040 then
01:28:43.200 you
01:28:43.320 might
01:28:43.500 think
01:28:43.760 you'll
01:28:43.960 wake
01:28:44.200 up
01:28:44.460 and
01:28:44.880 fly
01:28:45.140 right
01:28:45.480 right
01:28:45.720 you'll
01:28:45.920 get
01:28:46.020 your
01:28:46.160 wings
01:28:46.380 in
01:28:46.540 order
01:28:46.740 and
01:28:46.880 fly
01:28:47.080 right
01:28:47.320 but
01:28:47.460 there's
01:28:47.800 no
01:28:47.940 reason
01:28:48.220 to
01:28:48.420 assume
01:28:48.720 that
01:28:48.900 at
01:28:49.000 all
01:28:49.180 and
01:28:49.300 that's
01:28:49.500 not
01:28:49.600 what
01:28:49.740 happens
01:28:50.000 to
01:28:50.160 Cain
01:28:50.460 that
01:28:51.660 just
01:28:51.860 makes
01:28:52.140 him
01:28:52.300 more
01:29:03.640 that
01:29:03.880 you
01:29:04.560 could
01:29:04.700 have
01:29:04.800 done
01:29:04.980 something
01:29:05.300 different
01:29:05.700 it
01:29:06.380 was
01:29:06.540 avoidable
01:29:07.020 and
01:29:07.360 you
01:29:07.480 knew
01:29:07.640 it
01:29:07.760 at
01:29:07.900 the
01:29:08.040 time
01:29:08.340 and
01:29:08.680 you
01:29:08.780 decided
01:29:09.180 to
01:29:09.380 do
01:29:09.500 it
01:29:09.620 anyways
01:29:10.020 and
01:29:10.680 I
01:29:10.800 think
01:29:10.980 people
01:29:11.240 are
01:29:11.380 in
01:29:11.500 that
01:29:11.660 situation
01:29:12.120 a lot
01:29:12.540 more
01:29:12.780 often
01:29:13.100 than
01:29:13.300 anyone
01:29:13.840 is
01:29:14.120 willing
01:29:14.340 to
01:29:14.560 admit
01:29:14.900 you
01:29:15.420 know
01:29:15.540 you
01:29:15.700 have
01:29:15.940 that
01:29:16.140 little
01:29:16.340 voice
01:29:16.660 in
01:29:16.780 the
01:29:16.880 back
01:29:17.080 of
01:29:17.180 your
01:29:17.240 head
01:29:17.440 that
01:29:17.600 says
01:29:18.000 don't
01:29:19.700 do
01:29:20.080 it
01:29:20.460 and
01:29:22.100 you
01:29:22.220 override
01:29:22.780 it
01:29:23.080 and
01:29:23.440 you
01:29:23.540 know
01:29:24.000 it's
01:29:24.500 arrogance
01:29:24.920 that
01:29:25.120 makes
01:29:25.340 you
01:29:25.480 override
01:29:25.900 it's
01:29:26.180 always
01:29:26.440 arrogance
01:29:26.860 you
01:29:27.180 know
01:29:27.340 it
01:29:27.620 always
01:29:27.900 warns
01:29:28.300 you
01:29:28.380 it's
01:29:28.500 always
01:29:28.780 arrogance
01:29:29.080 yeah
01:29:29.440 I
01:29:30.080 can
01:29:30.220 get
01:29:30.360 away
01:29:30.540 with
01:29:30.700 it
01:29:30.820 it's
01:29:30.980 like
01:29:31.180 no
01:29:31.760 you
01:29:31.960 can't
01:29:32.420 I
01:29:33.100 don't
01:29:33.280 think
01:29:33.500 you
01:29:33.640 ever
01:29:33.840 get
01:29:34.020 away
01:29:34.180 with
01:29:34.360 anything
01:29:34.800 so
01:29:35.660 and
01:29:35.820 maybe
01:29:36.020 your
01:29:36.260 experience
01:29:36.720 has
01:29:36.900 taught
01:29:37.100 you
01:29:37.240 different
01:29:37.580 but
01:29:37.780 my
01:29:38.020 suspicions
01:29:38.540 are
01:29:38.740 it
01:29:38.860 hasn't
01:29:39.280 and
01:29:39.480 if
01:29:39.900 you
01:29:40.040 think
01:29:40.300 it
01:29:40.440 has
01:29:40.720 well
01:29:40.960 the
01:29:41.460 other
01:29:41.640 shoe
01:29:41.900 hasn't
01:29:42.280 yet
01:29:42.500 dropped
01:29:43.040 so
01:29:44.340 Cain
01:29:44.840 doesn't
01:29:46.260 take
01:29:46.620 the
01:29:46.800 opportunity
01:29:47.320 to
01:29:47.780 let
01:29:48.060 God's
01:29:48.580 wisdom
01:29:49.120 reorient
01:29:51.180 his
01:29:51.440 character
01:29:51.880 and
01:29:52.320 that
01:29:52.580 that
01:29:53.260 could
01:29:53.440 have
01:29:53.540 been
01:29:53.700 the
01:29:53.860 outcome
01:29:54.240 he
01:29:54.880 could
01:29:55.100 have
01:29:55.280 got
01:29:55.760 down
01:29:56.020 on
01:29:56.200 his
01:29:56.360 knees
01:29:56.700 so
01:29:56.920 to
01:29:57.060 speak
01:29:57.280 and
01:29:57.440 said
01:29:57.600 oh
01:29:57.760 my
01:29:57.900 oh
01:29:58.500 my
01:29:58.640 god
01:29:58.960 I've
01:29:59.840 been
01:29:59.960 wrong
01:30:00.200 all
01:30:00.400 along
01:30:00.800 I've
01:30:01.040 been
01:30:01.160 living
01:30:01.440 improperly
01:30:02.100 I've
01:30:02.240 been
01:30:02.360 making
01:30:02.580 the
01:30:02.720 wrong
01:30:02.860 sacrifices
01:30:03.540 Abel
01:30:04.100 deserves
01:30:04.480 everything
01:30:04.840 he
01:30:05.000 has
01:30:05.360 I
01:30:06.300 got
01:30:06.520 exactly
01:30:06.920 what
01:30:07.120 was
01:30:07.280 coming
01:30:07.540 to
01:30:07.740 me
01:30:07.980 you
01:30:08.500 know
01:30:08.580 could
01:30:08.780 I
01:30:08.900 possibly
01:30:09.380 now
01:30:09.820 straighten
01:30:10.280 myself
01:30:10.680 out
01:30:10.980 and
01:30:11.140 and
01:30:11.640 live
01:30:14.000 in
01:30:14.220 repentance
01:30:14.660 and
01:30:14.980 improve
01:30:15.420 my
01:30:15.660 position
01:30:16.080 but
01:30:16.260 that's
01:30:16.460 not
01:30:16.580 what
01:30:16.720 he
01:30:16.820 did
01:30:17.060 at
01:30:17.280 all
01:30:17.540 he
01:30:17.740 said
01:30:17.980 all
01:30:18.140 right
01:30:18.340 fair
01:30:19.180 enough
01:30:19.460 I
01:30:20.720 get
01:30:20.940 it
01:30:21.220 it's
01:30:22.020 like
01:30:22.220 I'm
01:30:22.700 going to
01:30:22.820 go
01:30:22.960 after
01:30:23.180 the
01:30:23.380 thing
01:30:23.560 I
01:30:23.760 most
01:30:25.180 admire
01:30:25.600 and
01:30:26.440 I'm
01:30:26.600 going
01:30:26.700 to
01:30:26.800 destroy
01:30:27.200 it
01:30:27.480 and
01:30:28.000 I'm
01:30:28.140 going
01:30:28.260 to
01:30:28.340 do
01:30:28.460 that
01:30:28.680 despite
01:30:29.280 its
01:30:29.560 cost
01:30:29.900 to
01:30:30.080 me
01:30:30.300 and
01:30:30.740 I'm
01:30:30.900 going
01:30:31.000 to
01:30:31.080 do
01:30:31.200 that
01:30:31.420 just
01:30:31.900 to
01:30:32.180 spite
01:30:32.620 the
01:30:32.880 creator
01:30:33.340 of
01:30:33.600 being
01:30:34.000 that's
01:30:35.620 exactly
01:30:36.000 what
01:30:36.340 Harris
01:30:37.000 did
01:30:37.340 at
01:30:38.240 Columbine
01:30:44.000 why
01:30:44.240 the
01:30:44.440 mass
01:30:44.740 murderers
01:30:45.160 always
01:30:45.400 shoot
01:30:45.640 themselves
01:30:46.060 afterwards
01:30:46.700 not
01:30:47.220 before
01:30:47.760 because
01:30:48.500 you
01:30:48.620 might
01:30:48.800 wonder
01:30:49.080 if
01:30:49.280 you're
01:30:49.420 so
01:30:49.800 upset
01:30:50.620 with
01:30:50.900 the
01:30:51.060 structure
01:30:51.360 of
01:30:51.540 being
01:30:51.760 why
01:30:51.940 you
01:30:52.080 don't
01:30:52.280 just
01:30:52.460 commit
01:30:52.740 suicide
01:30:53.180 in
01:30:53.460 your
01:30:53.580 basement
01:30:53.960 why
01:30:54.200 do
01:30:54.280 you
01:30:54.360 have
01:30:54.580 to
01:30:54.700 go
01:30:54.820 out
01:30:55.000 and
01:30:55.120 mass
01:30:55.940 murder
01:30:56.400 before
01:30:57.020 you
01:30:57.220 top
01:30:57.620 it
01:30:57.760 off
01:30:57.980 with
01:30:58.140 a
01:30:58.300 gun
01:30:58.520 to
01:30:58.720 your
01:30:58.880 forehead
01:30:59.320 well
01:31:00.280 you
01:31:00.380 don't
01:31:00.520 make
01:31:00.700 the
01:31:00.840 point
01:31:01.060 as
01:31:01.220 effectively
01:31:01.700 if
01:31:01.960 you
01:31:02.060 just
01:31:02.240 commit
01:31:02.500 suicide
01:31:02.860 in
01:31:03.100 your
01:31:03.220 basement
01:31:03.600 it's
01:31:04.360 like
01:31:04.640 my
01:31:05.260 life
01:31:06.180 means
01:31:06.480 nothing
01:31:06.880 to
01:31:07.100 me
01:31:07.340 but
01:31:08.280 neither
01:31:08.860 does
01:31:09.120 anyone
01:31:09.380 else's
01:31:09.840 and
01:31:10.000 neither
01:31:10.220 does
01:31:10.440 the
01:31:10.660 structure
01:31:11.000 of
01:31:11.220 being
01:31:11.460 itself
01:31:11.900 and
01:31:12.100 I'll
01:31:12.240 take
01:31:12.480 all
01:31:12.640 my
01:31:12.820 revenge
01:31:13.160 as
01:31:13.340 much
01:31:13.580 as
01:31:13.700 I
01:31:13.820 possibly
01:31:14.220 can
01:31:14.540 and
01:31:14.960 then
01:31:15.120 just
01:31:15.360 to
01:31:15.560 show
01:31:15.860 you
01:31:16.020 how
01:31:16.200 little
01:31:16.460 I
01:31:16.680 care
01:31:17.120 I'll
01:31:17.600 cap
01:31:17.880 myself
01:31:18.320 off
01:31:18.600 at
01:31:18.740 the
01:31:18.860 end
01:31:19.140 and
01:31:20.020 I
01:31:20.160 would
01:31:20.300 say
01:31:20.520 also
01:31:20.820 people
01:31:21.140 say
01:31:21.420 all
01:31:21.580 the
01:31:21.680 time
01:31:21.940 I
01:31:23.400 don't
01:31:23.620 understand
01:31:24.120 how
01:31:24.320 that
01:31:24.540 could
01:31:24.700 happen
01:31:25.140 it's
01:31:26.180 like
01:31:26.400 I
01:31:26.700 don't
01:31:26.900 believe
01:31:27.240 that
01:31:27.580 I
01:31:28.680 think
01:31:35.260 darkest
01:31:35.680 feelings
01:31:36.300 about
01:31:36.720 existence
01:31:37.480 itself
01:31:38.160 illuminates
01:31:39.440 the pathway
01:31:40.040 to that
01:31:40.460 sort of
01:31:40.780 behavior
01:31:41.120 quite
01:31:41.440 clearly
01:31:41.840 I
01:31:43.400 think
01:31:43.640 if
01:31:43.860 you
01:31:43.980 I
01:31:44.380 mean
01:31:44.520 I
01:31:44.660 might
01:31:44.820 be
01:31:44.980 wrong
01:31:45.260 I
01:31:45.420 might
01:31:45.720 be
01:31:45.840 a
01:31:45.980 darker
01:31:46.260 person
01:31:46.720 than
01:31:46.960 most
01:31:47.320 and
01:31:47.500 it's
01:31:47.720 certain
01:31:47.940 okay
01:31:51.900 okay
01:31:52.560 well
01:31:59.040 at least
01:31:59.420 I
01:31:59.620 think
01:31:59.820 there
01:31:59.980 are
01:32:00.100 plenty
01:32:00.380 of
01:32:00.800 people
01:32:01.080 out
01:32:01.260 there
01:32:01.440 who
01:32:01.620 are
01:32:01.760 sufficiently
01:32:02.280 dark
01:32:02.640 to
01:32:02.780 know
01:32:02.920 exactly
01:32:03.320 what
01:32:03.520 I
01:32:03.660 mean
01:32:03.840 what
01:32:04.000 I'm
01:32:04.160 saying
01:32:04.420 these
01:32:04.680 things
01:32:04.920 and
01:32:05.080 I
01:32:05.200 would
01:32:05.360 also
01:32:05.640 say
01:32:05.940 that
01:32:06.140 if
01:32:06.340 it
01:32:07.060 doesn't
01:32:07.460 leap
01:32:07.740 to
01:32:07.920 your
01:32:08.100 understanding
01:32:08.800 how
01:32:09.160 that
01:32:09.440 pathway
01:32:09.860 might
01:32:10.120 be
01:32:10.280 illuminated
01:32:10.800 then
01:32:11.120 you
01:32:11.580 need
01:32:11.800 to
01:32:11.940 know
01:32:12.100 a lot
01:32:12.380 more
01:32:12.620 about
01:32:12.860 yourself
01:32:13.280 than
01:32:13.520 you
01:32:13.660 actually
01:32:14.020 know
01:32:14.280 now
01:32:14.660 because
01:32:15.800 whatever
01:32:16.160 you
01:32:16.420 might
01:32:16.600 say
01:32:16.820 about
01:32:17.060 someone
01:32:17.340 like
01:32:17.660 Eric
01:32:17.940 Harris
01:32:18.260 he
01:32:18.420 was
01:32:18.580 a
01:32:18.700 human
01:32:18.920 being
01:32:19.280 too
01:32:19.580 you
01:32:20.060 know
01:32:20.240 there's
01:32:20.940 this
01:32:21.140 idea
01:32:21.480 in
01:32:21.640 the
01:32:21.740 New
01:32:21.900 Testament
01:32:22.300 that
01:32:22.660 Christ
01:32:23.000 was
01:32:23.240 he
01:32:23.460 who
01:32:23.700 took
01:32:23.960 the
01:32:24.180 sins
01:32:24.420 of
01:32:24.560 the
01:32:24.680 world
01:32:24.920 unto
01:32:25.200 himself
01:32:25.740 it's
01:32:26.000 a
01:32:26.080 very complicated
01:32:26.720 idea
01:32:27.220 but
01:32:27.420 part
01:32:27.700 of it
01:32:27.900 part
01:32:29.440 of it
01:32:29.680 part
01:32:30.740 of it
01:32:30.940 is
01:32:31.060 associated
01:32:31.600 with
01:32:31.900 the
01:32:32.100 idea
01:32:32.400 that
01:32:32.580 he
01:32:32.680 met
01:32:32.880 the
01:32:33.040 devil
01:32:33.280 in
01:32:33.440 the
01:32:33.560 desert
01:32:33.860 as
01:32:34.100 well
01:32:34.380 to
01:32:35.580 take
01:32:35.800 the
01:32:35.980 sins
01:32:36.260 of
01:32:36.420 mankind
01:32:36.660 unto
01:32:37.100 yourself
01:32:37.500 is
01:32:37.740 to
01:32:37.900 understand
01:32:38.460 that
01:32:38.720 within
01:32:39.000 you
01:32:39.220 dwells
01:32:39.640 exactly
01:32:40.040 the
01:32:40.260 same
01:32:40.460 spirit
01:32:40.820 that
01:32:41.080 commit
01:32:41.740 the
01:32:42.260 atrocities
01:32:42.820 at
01:32:43.020 Columbine
01:32:43.520 or
01:32:43.720 that
01:32:43.920 ran
01:32:44.720 the
01:32:44.920 camps
01:32:45.240 at
01:32:45.400 Auschwitz
01:32:45.920 and
01:32:46.120 to
01:32:46.280 actually
01:32:46.700 understand
01:32:47.320 that
01:32:47.520 that's
01:32:47.780 part
01:32:48.040 and
01:32:48.200 parcel
01:32:48.460 of
01:32:48.660 your
01:32:48.800 makeup
01:32:49.100 and
01:32:49.360 then
01:32:49.620 to
01:32:49.800 take
01:32:50.040 responsibility
01:32:50.640 for
01:32:51.160 it
01:32:51.340 and
01:32:51.860 I
01:32:52.020 think
01:32:52.300 that
01:32:52.540 in
01:32:52.940 the
01:32:53.100 aftermath
01:32:53.460 of
01:32:53.820 the
01:32:53.980 terrible
01:32:54.300 20th
01:32:54.760 century
01:32:55.100 that's
01:32:55.480 what
01:32:55.620 we're
01:32:55.800 left
01:32:56.040 with
01:32:56.280 we're
01:32:56.580 left
01:32:56.860 with
01:32:57.100 the
01:32:57.240 necessity
01:32:57.700 to
01:32:58.040 take
01:32:58.280 responsibility
01:32:58.900 for
01:32:59.360 the
01:32:59.500 most
01:32:59.700 terrible
01:33:00.060 aspects
01:33:00.580 of
01:33:00.780 ourselves
01:33:01.260 and
01:33:02.380 that
01:33:02.580 way
01:33:02.760 perhaps
01:33:03.200 we
01:33:03.400 can
01:33:03.540 stop
01:33:03.860 those
01:33:04.080 terrible
01:33:04.400 things
01:33:04.720 from
01:33:04.900 happening
01:33:05.260 again
01:33:05.680 that's
01:33:06.540 all
01:33:06.700 and
01:33:14.660 that
01:33:14.820 also
01:33:15.100 means
01:33:15.480 you
01:33:15.640 know
01:33:15.760 that
01:33:15.920 you
01:33:16.060 don't
01:33:16.300 look
01:33:16.520 for
01:33:16.780 the
01:33:17.340 you
01:33:17.720 don't
01:33:17.960 look
01:33:18.200 for
01:33:18.440 the
01:33:18.700 purveyor
01:33:21.140 of
01:33:21.340 malevolence
01:33:22.000 outside
01:33:22.380 yourself
01:33:23.020 right
01:33:24.180 it
01:33:24.620 isn't
01:33:24.980 someone
01:33:25.320 else
01:33:25.700 even
01:33:25.940 though
01:33:26.160 sometimes
01:33:26.660 it's
01:33:26.920 someone
01:33:27.140 else
01:33:27.480 you
01:33:27.640 know
01:33:27.740 what
01:33:28.120 I
01:33:28.260 mean
01:33:28.500 it's
01:33:28.780 like
01:33:29.000 they're
01:33:29.460 identifiable
01:33:30.260 perpetrators
01:33:30.940 but that's
01:33:31.380 not
01:33:31.540 precisely
01:33:31.960 the
01:33:32.200 point
01:33:32.540 the
01:33:33.180 point
01:33:33.420 is
01:33:33.600 something
01:33:33.920 more
01:33:34.220 like
01:33:34.540 that
01:33:34.800 the
01:33:35.000 proper
01:33:35.340 place
01:33:35.760 for
01:33:35.960 the
01:33:36.140 encapsulation
01:33:36.980 of
01:33:37.160 that
01:33:37.340 malevolence
01:33:37.920 at least
01:33:38.260 the
01:33:38.440 proper
01:33:38.700 place
01:33:38.980 to
01:33:39.140 start
01:33:39.400 is
01:33:39.660 within
01:33:40.920 the
01:33:41.260 confines
01:33:41.720 of
01:33:41.900 your
01:33:42.020 own
01:33:42.180 existence
01:33:42.560 and
01:33:43.220 then
01:33:43.380 perhaps
01:33:43.740 within
01:33:44.000 the
01:33:44.160 confines
01:33:44.540 of
01:33:48.700 a danger
01:33:49.200 to
01:33:49.440 those
01:33:49.740 that
01:33:49.920 you
01:33:50.060 misapprehend
01:33:50.840 as
01:33:51.120 malevolent
01:33:51.740 and
01:33:51.900 evil
01:33:52.160 because
01:33:52.680 you
01:33:52.880 won't
01:33:53.100 get
01:33:53.280 your
01:33:53.420 aim
01:33:53.620 right
01:33:53.820 to
01:33:53.980 begin
01:33:54.220 with
01:33:54.500 you'll
01:33:55.240 identify
01:33:55.700 them
01:33:56.480 improperly
01:33:57.220 and
01:33:57.920 you'll
01:33:58.100 take
01:33:58.340 your
01:33:58.520 revenge
01:33:59.060 in
01:33:59.920 a
01:34:00.020 manner
01:34:00.240 that
01:34:00.460 allows
01:34:00.860 you
01:34:01.160 to
01:34:02.820 omit
01:34:03.140 your
01:34:03.320 own
01:34:03.480 responsibility
01:34:04.240 to
01:34:05.340 act
01:34:05.740 out
01:34:05.960 your
01:34:06.220 unconscious
01:34:06.760 desire
01:34:07.360 for
01:34:07.600 revenge
01:34:08.040 and
01:34:08.780 to
01:34:08.980 move
01:34:09.340 the
01:34:09.520 world
01:34:09.820 just
01:34:10.120 that
01:34:10.380 much
01:34:10.620 closer
01:34:11.000 to
01:34:11.220 hell
01:34:11.500 well
01:34:17.240 so
01:34:17.400 Cain
01:34:17.720 kills
01:34:18.020 Abel
01:34:18.400 and
01:34:19.820 then
01:34:19.980 Cain
01:34:20.220 gives
01:34:20.440 rise
01:34:20.660 to
01:34:20.800 his
01:34:20.940 descendants
01:34:21.320 one
01:34:21.620 of
01:34:21.740 whom
01:34:21.920 is
01:34:22.100 the
01:34:22.260 person
01:34:22.560 who
01:34:22.740 is
01:34:22.840 the
01:34:22.980 first
01:34:23.260 artificer
01:34:23.860 in
01:34:24.020 weapons
01:34:24.340 of
01:34:24.500 war
01:34:24.780 and
01:34:25.640 then
01:34:25.820 comes
01:34:26.100 the
01:34:26.260 flood
01:34:26.540 right
01:34:27.220 which
01:34:28.200 seems
01:34:28.480 perfectly
01:34:29.080 miraculously
01:34:30.680 reasonable
01:34:31.240 to me
01:34:31.660 because
01:34:32.000 what
01:34:32.260 those
01:34:32.520 stories
01:34:32.880 do
01:34:33.180 it's
01:34:33.420 so
01:34:33.620 amazing
01:34:34.040 that
01:34:34.320 the
01:34:34.780 story
01:34:35.040 of
01:34:35.220 Cain
01:34:35.400 and Abel
01:34:35.760 segues
01:34:36.700 into
01:34:36.980 the
01:34:37.200 story
01:34:37.480 of
01:34:37.640 the
01:34:37.780 flood
01:34:38.020 because
01:34:38.440 it
01:34:39.520 is
01:34:39.720 the
01:34:39.900 case
01:34:40.220 that
01:34:40.600 the
01:34:41.640 catastrophes
01:34:42.460 that
01:34:42.660 beset
01:34:43.080 society
01:34:43.560 can
01:34:43.820 best
01:34:44.100 be
01:34:44.320 conceptualized
01:34:45.160 as
01:34:45.400 the
01:34:45.580 spread
01:34:45.980 of
01:34:46.160 individual
01:34:46.660 pathology
01:34:47.400 into
01:34:47.680 the
01:34:47.920 social
01:34:48.220 world
01:34:48.640 and
01:34:49.440 the
01:34:49.640 magnification
01:34:53.440 of that
01:34:53.860 pathology
01:34:54.460 to the
01:34:54.760 point
01:34:54.980 where
01:34:55.160 everything
01:34:55.440 comes
01:34:55.760 apart
01:34:56.080 and
01:34:56.960 I
01:34:57.080 truly
01:34:57.360 believe
01:34:57.720 that
01:34:57.940 if
01:34:58.080 you
01:34:58.220 familiarize
01:34:58.960 yourself
01:34:59.340 with
01:34:59.560 the
01:34:59.680 last
01:34:59.920 hundred
01:35:00.140 years
01:35:00.420 of
01:35:00.580 history
01:35:00.880 that
01:35:01.080 that's
01:35:01.340 the
01:35:01.460 conclusion
01:35:01.820 that
01:35:02.040 you
01:35:02.160 would
01:35:02.300 derive
01:35:02.680 and
01:35:03.500 the
01:35:03.620 people
01:35:03.860 who
01:35:04.040 are
01:35:04.160 most
01:35:04.480 wise
01:35:04.920 that
01:35:05.160 I've
01:35:05.400 read
01:35:05.640 who
01:35:05.820 commented
01:35:06.300 on
01:35:06.560 that
01:35:06.780 say
01:35:07.000 the
01:35:07.180 same
01:35:07.380 thing
01:35:07.680 over
01:35:07.960 and
01:35:08.080 over
01:35:08.300 which
01:35:08.820 is
01:35:09.080 the
01:35:10.660 key
01:35:14.320 of
01:35:15.840 the
01:35:16.140 horrors
01:35:16.820 of
01:35:17.460 Auschwitz
01:35:18.100 and
01:35:18.720 the
01:35:18.920 gulag
01:35:19.460 in the
01:35:19.820 future
01:35:20.220 is
01:35:21.020 the
01:35:21.220 reconstruction
01:35:21.800 of
01:35:22.800 the
01:35:22.960 individual
01:35:23.440 soul
01:35:24.100 at
01:35:24.840 the
01:35:25.080 level
01:35:25.420 of
01:35:25.920 each
01:35:26.160 individual
01:35:26.680 and
01:35:28.120 that's
01:35:28.520 a
01:35:29.060 terrible
01:35:29.340 message
01:35:29.760 because
01:35:30.060 it
01:35:30.220 puts
01:35:30.380 the
01:35:30.560 burden
01:35:30.780 on
01:35:31.160 you
01:35:31.960 but
01:35:33.160 it's
01:35:33.320 an
01:35:33.460 amazing
01:35:33.940 message
01:35:34.380 because
01:35:34.760 it
01:35:35.220 also
01:35:35.500 means
01:35:35.860 that
01:35:36.060 you
01:35:36.260 could
01:35:36.440 be
01:35:36.580 the
01:35:36.800 source
01:35:37.220 of
01:35:37.940 the
01:35:38.100 process
01:35:38.780 that
01:35:39.540 stops
01:35:40.160 that
01:35:40.580 catastrophe
01:35:41.620 and
01:35:41.920 malevolence
01:35:42.640 from
01:35:43.140 ever
01:35:43.400 emerging
01:35:43.840 again
01:35:44.300 and
01:35:45.600 you
01:35:45.720 know
01:35:45.840 it's
01:35:46.040 hard
01:35:46.260 for
01:35:46.700 me
01:35:46.840 to
01:35:46.980 imagine
01:35:47.340 that
01:35:47.580 you
01:35:47.740 have
01:35:47.920 anything
01:35:48.240 that
01:35:49.400 could
01:35:49.580 possibly
01:35:50.200 be
01:35:50.600 better
01:35:50.900 to
01:35:51.120 do
01:35:51.380 with
01:35:52.000 the
01:35:52.200 time
01:35:52.480 that
01:35:52.660 you
01:35:52.800 have
01:35:53.020 left
01:35:53.440 well
01:35:55.680 then
01:35:55.840 we
01:35:56.000 see
01:35:56.200 Noah
01:35:56.460 who
01:35:56.680 walks
01:35:57.060 with
01:35:57.280 God
01:35:57.600 and
01:35:57.760 whose
01:35:57.980 generations
01:35:59.400 are
01:35:59.720 in
01:35:59.880 order
01:36:00.160 right
01:36:00.520 which
01:36:01.180 means
01:36:01.440 that
01:36:01.620 he's
01:36:02.000 entered
01:36:03.140 this
01:36:03.420 contract
01:36:03.800 with
01:36:04.180 the
01:36:04.340 good
01:36:04.600 let's
01:36:04.960 say
01:36:05.200 that
01:36:05.720 has
01:36:06.000 the
01:36:06.300 protective
01:36:07.180 function
01:36:08.280 of
01:36:08.520 the
01:36:08.700 ark
01:36:09.000 he's
01:36:09.660 put
01:36:09.840 his
01:36:10.000 family
01:36:10.300 together
01:36:10.740 and
01:36:11.220 he
01:36:11.320 can
01:36:11.440 ride
01:36:11.720 out
01:36:11.900 the
01:36:12.080 worst
01:36:12.280 catastrophe
01:36:12.860 and
01:36:13.120 he's
01:36:13.320 actually
01:36:13.620 our
01:36:13.820 ancestor
01:36:14.400 right
01:36:14.660 so
01:36:14.860 interesting
01:36:15.320 it's
01:36:15.580 that
01:36:15.720 these
01:36:15.940 people
01:36:16.280 who
01:36:16.940 get
01:36:17.500 their
01:36:17.740 act
01:36:18.020 together
01:36:18.340 properly
01:36:18.940 and
01:36:20.040 make
01:36:20.340 a
01:36:20.520 contract
01:36:20.880 with
01:36:21.220 the
01:36:21.360 good
01:36:21.520 are
01:36:21.660 constantly
01:36:22.320 presented
01:36:22.960 as
01:36:23.240 the
01:36:23.440 genuine
01:36:23.940 ancestors
01:36:24.540 of
01:36:24.820 mankind
01:36:25.120 and
01:36:25.420 that's
01:36:25.660 a
01:36:25.780 really
01:36:25.980 positive
01:36:26.520 element
01:36:27.700 of
01:36:27.900 the
01:36:28.060 story
01:36:28.320 as
01:36:28.460 well
01:36:28.580 and
01:36:28.720 it's
01:36:28.860 one
01:36:29.020 I
01:36:29.140 believe
01:36:29.500 because
01:36:29.880 well
01:36:30.620 it
01:36:30.720 hasn't
01:36:31.120 been
01:36:31.260 easy
01:36:31.540 for
01:36:31.740 us
01:36:31.880 to
01:36:32.040 get
01:36:32.260 here
01:36:32.500 you
01:36:32.680 know
01:36:32.800 we
01:36:32.960 are
01:36:33.120 the
01:36:33.280 descendants
01:36:33.700 of
01:36:33.960 the
01:36:34.100 great
01:36:34.340 heroes
01:36:34.680 of
01:36:34.880 the
01:36:35.040 past
01:36:35.500 and
01:36:36.060 if
01:36:36.200 you
01:36:36.320 took
01:36:36.540 all
01:36:36.700 those
01:36:36.880 heroes
01:36:37.180 and
01:36:37.380 you
01:36:37.520 and
01:36:38.040 you
01:36:38.260 and
01:36:39.080 you
01:36:39.300 and
01:36:40.740 you
01:36:40.860 told
01:36:41.140 their
01:36:41.300 stories
01:36:41.620 and
01:36:41.760 you
01:36:41.880 distilled
01:36:42.320 their
01:36:42.540 stories
01:36:42.860 into
01:36:43.060 a
01:36:43.260 single
01:36:43.500 story
01:36:43.860 maybe
01:36:44.100 you'd
01:36:44.300 have
01:36:44.460 a
01:36:44.580 story
01:36:44.820 like
01:36:45.040 the
01:36:45.200 story
01:36:45.460 of
01:36:45.600 Noah
01:36:45.780 or
01:36:45.980 the
01:36:46.100 story
01:36:46.360 of
01:36:46.500 Abraham
01:36:46.840 you know
01:36:48.180 the
01:36:48.600 story
01:36:48.880 of
01:36:49.060 the
01:36:49.220 successful
01:36:49.780 the
01:36:50.220 story
01:36:50.460 of
01:36:50.640 our
01:36:50.780 forefathers
01:36:51.460 you know
01:36:52.280 and
01:36:52.460 not
01:36:52.640 the
01:36:52.840 cancer
01:36:53.240 on
01:36:53.480 the
01:36:53.620 planet
01:36:54.020 that
01:36:54.320 certain
01:36:54.680 people
01:36:55.000 tend
01:36:55.260 to
01:37:03.960 something
01:37:04.280 like
01:37:04.580 hell
01:37:04.920 and
01:37:06.140 so
01:37:06.260 Noah
01:37:06.520 rides
01:37:06.860 out
01:37:07.020 the
01:37:07.180 storm
01:37:07.420 and
01:37:07.580 that's
01:37:07.840 what
01:37:07.960 everyone
01:37:08.240 wants
01:37:08.600 because
01:37:08.760 you
01:37:08.880 want
01:37:09.060 to
01:37:09.160 ride
01:37:09.340 out
01:37:09.500 the
01:37:09.680 storm
01:37:09.960 you
01:37:10.380 don't
01:37:10.540 want
01:37:10.700 to
01:37:10.780 be
01:37:10.920 happy
01:37:11.360 because
01:37:12.240 that'll
01:37:12.540 just
01:37:12.740 happen
01:37:13.140 if
01:37:13.500 it
01:37:13.620 does
01:37:13.860 or
01:37:13.980 if
01:37:14.120 it
01:37:14.240 doesn't
01:37:14.600 but
01:37:14.940 you
01:37:15.060 definitely
01:37:15.560 want
01:37:15.920 to
01:37:16.040 constitute
01:37:16.460 yourself
01:37:16.940 so
01:37:17.160 that
01:37:17.300 you
01:37:17.440 can
01:37:17.580 ride
01:37:17.800 out
01:37:17.960 the
01:37:18.160 storm
01:37:18.440 because
01:37:19.000 the
01:37:19.140 storm
01:37:19.420 is
01:37:19.580 always
01:37:19.840 coming
01:37:20.180 and
01:37:20.920 so
01:37:21.100 then
01:37:21.300 you're
01:37:21.480 fortified
01:37:21.900 against
01:37:22.180 the
01:37:22.400 worst
01:37:22.720 and
01:37:22.880 that's
01:37:23.080 what
01:37:23.220 you
01:37:23.340 want
01:37:23.680 because
01:37:24.260 well
01:37:25.460 the
01:37:25.640 best
01:37:25.960 you
01:37:26.140 can
01:37:26.300 handle
01:37:26.720 the
01:37:28.220 worst
01:37:28.500 you
01:37:28.660 have
01:37:28.840 to
01:37:28.980 prepare
01:37:29.280 yourself
01:37:29.720 for
01:37:30.060 and
01:37:30.840 then
01:37:30.940 we
01:37:31.080 see
01:37:31.240 the
01:37:31.420 same
01:37:31.620 thing
01:37:31.840 repeated
01:37:32.220 in
01:37:32.420 the
01:37:32.560 story
01:37:32.820 of
01:37:32.960 Abraham
01:37:33.280 essentially
01:37:33.900 right
01:37:34.280 Abraham
01:37:34.580 makes
01:37:34.960 this
01:37:35.200 contract
01:37:35.560 with
01:37:35.920 the
01:37:36.060 good
01:37:36.340 and
01:37:37.060 constantly
01:37:37.580 renews
01:37:38.080 it
01:37:38.180 that's
01:37:38.460 his
01:37:38.620 sacrifice
01:37:39.240 and
01:37:39.440 his
01:37:39.600 worship
01:37:39.940 he
01:37:40.160 constantly
01:37:40.560 renews
01:37:41.020 it
01:37:41.180 and
01:37:41.600 he
01:37:41.700 has
01:37:41.960 the
01:37:42.600 adventures
01:37:43.120 that
01:37:43.440 are
01:37:43.620 sufficiently
01:37:44.500 typical
01:37:45.060 of
01:37:45.300 the
01:37:45.420 adventures
01:37:45.800 of
01:37:46.020 a
01:37:46.120 human
01:37:46.340 being
01:37:46.740 who's
01:37:47.280 alive
01:37:47.740 and
01:37:48.000 engaging
01:37:48.660 in
01:37:48.900 the
01:37:49.000 world
01:37:49.340 right
01:37:49.860 he
01:37:50.300 bumps
01:37:51.160 himself
01:37:51.620 up
01:37:51.880 against
01:37:52.160 all
01:37:52.400 the
01:37:52.560 horrors
01:37:53.000 of
01:37:53.160 existence
01:37:53.660 and
01:37:54.540 yet
01:37:54.760 the
01:37:55.040 story
01:37:55.420 is
01:37:56.280 told
01:37:56.780 in
01:37:57.760 such
01:37:58.000 a
01:37:58.140 manner
01:37:58.340 that
01:37:58.580 reveals
01:37:59.080 that
01:37:59.340 his
01:37:59.580 primary
01:38:00.340 ethical
01:38:00.900 commitment
01:38:01.440 to
01:38:01.720 the
01:38:01.940 overarching
01:38:02.540 good
01:38:03.200 is
01:38:03.960 sufficient
01:38:04.400 to
01:38:05.320 protect
01:38:06.140 him
01:38:06.360 against
01:38:06.660 the
01:38:06.840 vicissitudes
01:38:07.380 of
01:38:07.580 existence
01:38:08.060 well
01:38:09.740 that's
01:38:10.220 an
01:38:10.340 optimistic
01:38:10.740 story
01:38:11.260 and
01:38:11.560 as a
01:38:12.360 pessimistic
01:38:12.940 person
01:38:13.360 I
01:38:14.140 appreciate
01:38:14.760 an
01:38:15.300 optimistic
01:38:15.740 story
01:38:16.160 that's
01:38:16.520 believable
01:38:17.140 and
01:38:18.180 there's
01:38:18.420 great
01:38:19.340 demands
01:38:19.780 placed
01:38:20.100 on
01:38:20.300 Abraham
01:38:20.560 it's
01:38:20.820 not
01:38:20.980 as
01:38:21.140 if
01:38:21.300 this
01:38:21.500 just
01:38:21.720 comes
01:38:21.960 to
01:38:22.120 him
01:38:22.320 as
01:38:23.020 a
01:38:23.140 gift
01:38:23.440 he
01:38:24.060 has
01:38:24.240 to
01:38:24.360 be
01:38:24.480 willing
01:38:24.680 to
01:38:24.880 sacrifice
01:38:25.460 whatever
01:38:25.780 is
01:38:26.020 necessary
01:38:26.580 in
01:38:26.820 order
01:38:26.960 to
01:38:27.140 maintain
01:38:27.420 that
01:38:27.640 contract
01:38:28.000 and
01:38:28.220 so
01:38:28.380 that
01:38:28.920 seems
01:38:29.200 to
01:38:29.340 me
01:38:29.460 to
01:38:29.540 be
01:38:29.680 realistic
01:38:30.120 there's
01:38:30.780 no
01:38:30.960 reason
01:38:31.260 to
01:38:31.460 assume
01:38:31.780 that
01:38:31.980 life
01:38:32.240 isn't
01:38:32.460 so
01:38:32.620 difficult
01:38:33.000 that
01:38:33.240 it
01:38:33.360 actually
01:38:33.740 demands
01:38:34.260 the
01:38:34.440 best
01:38:34.920 from
01:38:35.200 you
01:38:35.420 that
01:38:36.220 it's
01:38:36.380 actually
01:38:36.720 structured
01:38:37.200 in
01:38:37.400 that
01:38:37.600 manner
01:38:37.940 and
01:38:38.660 that
01:38:38.760 if
01:38:38.900 you
01:38:39.460 were
01:38:39.600 willing
01:38:39.840 to
01:38:40.040 reveal
01:38:40.440 the
01:38:40.680 best
01:38:41.120 in
01:38:41.620 you
01:38:41.940 in
01:38:42.400 response
01:38:43.000 to
01:38:43.240 the
01:38:43.400 vicissitudes
01:38:44.020 of
01:38:44.220 life
01:38:44.500 that
01:38:44.980 you
01:38:45.160 might
01:38:45.460 actually
01:38:45.840 prevail
01:38:46.280 and
01:38:46.800 you
01:38:46.920 might
01:38:47.100 actually
01:38:47.420 set
01:38:47.840 things
01:38:48.180 straight
01:38:48.540 around
01:38:48.900 you
01:38:49.180 and
01:38:50.300 well
01:38:53.000 and what
01:38:53.300 if that
01:38:53.560 was
01:38:53.720 true
01:38:54.020 that
01:38:56.380 would
01:38:56.500 be
01:38:56.620 a
01:38:56.740 remarkable
01:38:57.100 thing
01:38:57.540 and
01:38:59.100 I
01:38:59.260 can't
01:38:59.740 see
01:38:59.920 how
01:39:00.100 it
01:39:00.220 cannot
01:39:00.560 be
01:39:00.820 true
01:39:01.120 and
01:39:02.100 I
01:39:02.400 can't
01:39:03.000 see
01:39:03.160 that
01:39:03.340 it's
01:39:03.480 not
01:39:03.640 stamped
01:39:04.180 on
01:39:04.420 the
01:39:04.640 soul
01:39:04.960 of
01:39:05.160 everyone
01:39:05.480 who's
01:39:05.780 conscious
01:39:06.180 I
01:39:07.060 think
01:39:07.220 we
01:39:07.360 all
01:39:07.520 know
01:39:07.680 this
01:39:07.880 perfectly
01:39:08.300 well
01:39:08.660 although
01:39:09.760 the
01:39:09.980 stories
01:39:10.400 remind
01:39:11.380 us
01:39:11.720 you
01:39:11.880 know
01:39:12.120 Plato
01:39:13.320 Socrates
01:39:14.020 believed
01:39:14.560 that
01:39:14.840 all
01:39:16.280 knowledge
01:39:17.420 was
01:39:17.660 remembering
01:39:18.220 you
01:39:20.240 know
01:39:20.360 he
01:39:20.520 believed
01:39:20.820 that
01:39:21.120 the
01:39:22.540 soul
01:39:22.800 before
01:39:23.160 birth
01:39:23.460 had
01:39:23.660 all
01:39:23.900 knowledge
01:39:24.240 and
01:39:24.500 lost
01:39:25.020 it
01:39:25.200 at
01:39:25.400 birth
01:39:25.780 and
01:39:26.540 then
01:39:26.800 experience
01:39:27.740 reminded
01:39:28.480 the
01:39:28.820 soul
01:39:29.160 of
01:39:29.340 what
01:39:29.500 it
01:39:29.600 already
01:39:29.940 knew
01:39:30.300 and
01:39:31.160 there's
01:39:31.340 something
01:39:31.540 about
01:39:31.820 that
01:39:32.020 that's
01:39:32.260 really
01:39:32.720 true
01:39:33.700 because
01:39:34.540 you're
01:39:35.120 not
01:39:35.380 just
01:39:35.680 a
01:39:37.020 creature
01:39:37.340 that
01:39:37.600 emerged
01:39:38.140 30
01:39:39.760 years
01:39:40.100 ago
01:39:40.300 or 40
01:39:40.680 years
01:39:40.960 ago
01:39:41.160 you're
01:39:41.460 you're
01:39:42.380 the
01:39:42.520 inheritor
01:39:43.060 of
01:39:43.300 three and
01:39:43.760 a half
01:39:44.060 billion
01:39:44.520 years
01:39:45.440 worth
01:39:45.820 of
01:39:46.040 biological
01:39:46.600 engineering
01:39:47.220 right
01:39:47.540 you have
01:39:48.360 your
01:39:48.560 nature
01:39:49.100 stamped
01:39:49.660 deeply
01:39:50.280 inside
01:39:50.840 of you
01:39:51.200 far
01:39:51.760 more
01:39:52.000 deeply
01:39:52.280 than
01:39:52.500 any
01:39:53.040 of us
01:39:53.420 realize
01:39:53.860 and
01:39:54.560 when
01:39:54.700 you
01:39:54.820 come
01:39:54.980 across
01:39:55.320 these
01:39:55.560 great
01:39:55.880 stories
01:39:56.340 these
01:39:56.560 reminders
01:39:57.060 they're
01:39:57.400 a reminder
01:39:58.020 of
01:39:58.600 how
01:39:58.800 to
01:39:58.980 be
01:39:59.240 properly
01:39:59.880 and
01:40:00.400 they
01:40:00.540 echo
01:40:00.840 in
01:40:01.020 your
01:40:01.200 soul
01:40:01.480 because
01:40:01.760 the
01:40:02.000 structure
01:40:02.400 is
01:40:02.560 already
01:40:02.880 there
01:40:03.320 the
01:40:07.060 external
01:40:07.500 stories
01:40:07.980 are
01:40:08.160 manifestations
01:40:08.780 of the
01:40:09.480 internal
01:40:09.840 reality
01:40:10.360 and
01:40:10.620 then
01:40:10.780 they're
01:40:10.980 called
01:40:11.440 to
01:40:11.620 that
01:40:11.800 internal
01:40:12.480 reality
01:40:12.980 to
01:40:13.240 reveal
01:40:13.640 itself
01:40:14.200 well
01:40:20.400 and then
01:40:20.580 we come
01:40:20.920 to the
01:40:21.180 end
01:40:21.360 of the
01:40:21.600 Abrahamic
01:40:22.180 stories
01:40:22.500 at least
01:40:22.760 this
01:40:23.040 section
01:40:23.360 of them
01:40:23.720 with
01:40:24.360 Sarah's
01:40:24.780 death
01:40:25.160 and
01:40:26.020 Abraham
01:40:26.300 is
01:40:26.520 called
01:40:26.780 upon
01:40:27.040 to make
01:40:27.360 the
01:40:27.540 supreme
01:40:27.840 sacrifice
01:40:28.440 and
01:40:29.660 interestingly
01:40:30.120 enough
01:40:30.440 because
01:40:30.740 he's
01:40:31.000 willing
01:40:31.220 to make
01:40:31.580 the
01:40:31.760 supreme
01:40:32.040 sacrifice
01:40:32.540 he
01:40:33.260 actually
01:40:33.540 doesn't
01:40:33.860 have
01:40:34.120 to
01:40:34.300 and
01:40:35.080 that's
01:40:35.320 an
01:40:35.440 interesting
01:40:35.840 thing
01:40:36.220 as
01:40:37.220 well
01:40:37.500 because
01:40:37.940 I
01:40:38.240 believe
01:40:38.720 that
01:40:39.520 it's
01:40:39.720 reasonable
01:40:40.160 from a
01:40:40.660 psychological
01:40:41.140 perspective
01:40:41.800 to point
01:40:42.300 out
01:40:42.500 that
01:40:42.760 the
01:40:44.280 more
01:40:44.480 willing
01:40:44.780 you
01:40:45.000 are
01:40:45.260 for
01:40:45.500 example
01:40:45.980 to
01:40:48.180 face
01:40:48.640 death
01:40:49.400 perhaps
01:40:50.340 the
01:40:51.340 less
01:40:51.560 likely
01:40:51.920 it
01:40:52.660 is
01:40:52.960 that
01:40:53.380 you're
01:40:53.620 going
01:40:53.860 to
01:40:54.040 have
01:40:54.260 to
01:40:54.420 face
01:40:54.720 it
01:40:54.920 at
01:40:55.400 least
01:40:55.620 in
01:40:55.820 an
01:40:56.040 ignoble
01:40:56.560 manner
01:40:57.080 and
01:41:00.540 so
01:41:00.720 with
01:41:00.920 that
01:41:01.180 then
01:41:01.420 we'll
01:41:01.620 bring
01:41:01.900 this
01:41:02.480 12
01:41:02.880 part
01:41:03.140 series
01:41:03.560 to
01:41:04.000 a
01:41:04.120 close
01:41:04.500 you
01:41:12.740 know
01:41:12.860 I
01:41:13.040 think
01:41:13.260 that
01:41:13.460 applause
01:41:13.860 is
01:41:14.080 for
01:41:14.300 everyone
01:41:14.700 and
01:41:15.140 I
01:41:15.600 hate
01:41:15.780 to
01:41:15.940 say
01:41:16.120 that
01:41:16.340 because
01:41:16.580 it
01:41:16.740 sounds
01:41:16.980 so
01:41:17.200 new
01:41:17.440 agey
01:41:17.920 but
01:41:20.900 you
01:41:21.040 know
01:41:21.200 it
01:41:21.540 really
01:41:22.240 does
01:41:22.620 it
01:41:23.520 really
01:41:23.720 does
01:41:23.960 seem
01:41:24.180 to
01:41:24.340 me
01:41:24.480 that
01:41:24.680 this
01:41:25.160 is
01:41:25.280 a
01:41:25.440 participatory
01:41:26.140 exercise
01:41:26.600 you
01:41:26.960 know
01:41:27.140 and
01:41:27.280 that
01:41:27.460 it
01:41:28.980 would
01:41:29.140 not
01:41:29.340 be
01:41:29.500 possible
01:41:29.920 for
01:41:30.160 me
01:41:30.280 to
01:41:30.400 go
01:41:30.520 through
01:41:30.680 these
01:41:30.900 stories
01:41:31.180 without
01:41:31.440 having
01:41:31.860 you
01:41:32.040 here
01:41:32.220 to
01:41:32.360 listen
01:41:32.700 and
01:41:33.060 so
01:41:33.340 and
01:41:33.860 I
01:41:33.960 always
01:41:34.160 think
01:41:34.480 when
01:41:34.740 talking
01:41:35.100 to
01:41:35.280 a
01:41:35.400 crowd
01:41:35.600 that
01:41:35.780 it's
01:41:35.920 a
01:41:36.040 dialogue
01:41:36.400 you know
01:41:36.800 it's
01:41:37.040 a
01:41:37.180 dialogue
01:41:37.620 you
01:41:38.780 sit
01:41:39.080 and
01:41:39.200 you
01:41:39.320 listen
01:41:39.620 and
01:41:39.800 you've
01:41:40.000 all
01:41:40.180 listened
01:41:40.560 and
01:41:40.920 thank
01:41:42.380 God
01:41:42.660 for
01:41:42.820 that
01:41:43.140 you
01:41:43.300 know
01:41:43.480 and
01:41:43.920 that
01:41:44.040 gives
01:41:44.240 me
01:41:44.360 a
01:41:44.500 chance
01:41:44.740 to
01:41:44.920 think
01:41:45.260 and
01:41:45.420 it
01:41:45.520 gives
01:41:45.680 me
01:41:45.800 a
01:41:45.920 chance
01:41:46.120 to
01:41:46.300 watch
01:41:46.760 and
01:41:46.940 it
01:41:47.060 gives
01:41:47.220 me
01:41:47.340 a
01:41:47.460 chance
01:41:47.660 to
01:41:47.840 interact
01:41:48.300 because
01:41:48.520 you're
01:41:49.220 emblematic
01:41:49.900 of
01:41:50.180 humanity
01:41:51.220 at
01:41:51.520 large
01:41:51.920 I
01:41:52.100 suppose
01:41:52.440 that's
01:41:52.780 one
01:41:52.940 way
01:41:53.120 of
01:41:53.240 thinking
01:41:53.480 about
01:41:53.800 it
01:41:53.940 and
01:41:54.100 for
01:41:54.580 me
01:41:54.760 to
01:41:54.920 be
01:41:55.080 able
01:41:55.220 to
01:41:55.400 craft
01:41:55.800 what
01:41:56.020 I'm
01:41:56.200 saying
01:41:56.540 so
01:41:56.760 that
01:41:56.920 it
01:41:57.040 has
01:41:57.240 an
01:41:57.360 impact
01:41:57.780 on
01:41:57.980 all
01:41:58.180 of
01:41:58.300 you
01:41:58.440 here
01:41:58.800 also
01:41:59.520 means
01:41:59.840 that
01:42:00.020 I
01:42:00.120 can
01:42:00.260 simultaneously
01:42:00.780 craft
01:42:01.320 it
01:42:01.480 so
01:42:01.600 that
01:42:01.740 it
01:42:01.860 has
01:42:02.020 an
01:42:02.160 impact
01:42:02.520 that
01:42:02.720 in
01:42:03.120 principle
01:42:03.560 can
01:42:03.820 reach
01:42:04.040 far
01:42:04.260 beyond
01:42:04.600 this
01:42:04.840 place
01:42:05.160 and
01:42:05.360 so
01:42:05.600 you
01:42:06.340 know
01:42:06.500 I'm
01:42:06.900 hoping
01:42:07.220 that
01:42:07.480 I'm
01:42:08.180 really
01:42:08.420 hoping
01:42:08.800 that
01:42:09.080 one
01:42:09.620 of
01:42:09.720 the
01:42:09.840 things
01:42:10.120 that
01:42:10.320 can
01:42:10.520 start
01:42:10.840 to
01:42:11.020 happen
01:42:11.280 with
01:42:11.500 this
01:42:11.680 at
01:42:11.840 least
01:42:12.020 is
01:42:12.220 that
01:42:12.400 we
01:42:12.600 can
01:42:12.760 put
01:42:13.100 our
01:42:13.240 culture
01:42:13.580 back
01:42:13.920 on
01:42:14.120 its
01:42:14.300 firm
01:42:14.580 foundation
01:42:15.140 because
01:42:15.480 it's
01:42:15.740 something
01:42:16.020 that's
01:42:16.320 desperately
01:42:16.680 needed
01:42:17.080 and
01:42:17.360 in
01:42:18.000 order
01:42:18.180 to
01:42:18.360 do
01:42:18.500 that
01:42:18.700 we
01:42:18.860 have
01:42:19.060 to
01:42:19.240 understand
01:42:19.840 both
01:42:20.240 the
01:42:20.420 evil
01:42:20.760 and
01:42:21.060 the
01:42:21.220 nobility
01:42:21.740 of
01:42:21.960 the
01:42:22.100 human
01:42:22.360 soul
01:42:22.840 and
01:42:23.760 that's
01:42:24.100 a
01:42:24.960 fundamental
01:42:25.560 truth
01:42:26.240 you
01:42:26.420 know
01:42:26.580 and
01:42:26.960 I
01:42:27.080 don't
01:42:27.480 think
01:42:27.760 you
01:42:27.920 can
01:42:28.080 get
01:42:28.260 to
01:42:28.380 the
01:42:28.520 nobility
01:42:28.960 without
01:42:29.300 a
01:42:29.540 sojourn
01:42:29.960 through
01:42:30.140 the
01:42:30.300 evil
01:42:30.580 I
01:42:30.780 really
01:42:31.040 don't
01:42:31.300 believe
01:42:31.580 that
01:42:31.780 at
01:42:31.900 all
01:42:32.120 it's
01:42:32.380 no
01:42:32.580 place
01:42:32.940 for
01:42:33.100 the
01:42:33.240 naive
01:42:33.600 to
01:42:33.820 go
01:42:34.060 that's
01:42:34.440 for
01:42:34.620 sure
01:42:34.880 but
01:42:35.940 anyways
01:42:36.820 I
01:42:57.760 going
01:43:09.220 online
01:43:09.640 without
01:43:09.940 express
01:43:10.360 VPN
01:43:10.700 is
01:43:11.020 like
01:43:11.200 not
01:43:11.480 paying
01:43:11.720 attention
01:43:12.040 to
01:43:12.220 the
01:43:12.360 safety
01:43:12.580 demonstration
01:43:13.120 on
01:43:13.380 a
01:43:13.480 flight
01:43:13.760 most
01:43:14.500 of
01:43:14.620 the
01:43:14.680 time
01:43:14.900 you'll
01:43:15.120 probably
01:43:15.500 be
01:43:15.760 fine
01:43:16.120 but
01:43:16.500 what
01:43:16.880 if
01:43:17.040 one
01:43:17.260 day
01:43:17.440 that
01:43:17.700 weird
01:43:18.060 yellow
01:43:18.340 mask
01:43:18.660 drops
01:43:18.980 down
01:43:19.220 from
01:43:19.400 overhead
01:43:19.680 and
01:43:20.120 you
01:43:20.380 have
01:43:20.600 no
01:43:20.860 idea
01:43:21.180 what
01:43:21.380 to
01:43:21.520 do
01:43:21.700 in
01:43:22.140 our
01:43:22.280 hyper
01:43:22.540 connected
01:43:22.920 world
01:43:23.300 your
01:43:23.600 digital
01:43:23.980 privacy
01:43:24.420 isn't
01:43:24.780 just
01:43:24.960 a
01:43:25.100 luxury
01:43:25.380 it's
01:43:26.020 a
01:43:26.160 fundamental
01:43:26.600 right
01:43:26.960 every
01:43:27.280 time
01:43:27.500 you
01:43:27.640 connect
01:43:27.880 to
01:43:28.020 an
01:43:28.160 unsecured
01:43:28.660 network
01:43:29.060 in
01:43:29.260 a

01:43:29.740 hotel
01:43:30.420 or
01:43:30.680 airport
01:43:31.040 you're
01:43:31.580 essentially
01:43:31.920 broadcasting
01:43:32.540 your
01:43:32.820 personal
01:43:33.120 information
01:43:33.620 to

01:43:34.360 with
01:43:34.600 a
01:43:34.740 technical
01:43:35.080 know-how
01:43:35.520 to
01:43:35.680 intercept
01:43:36.100 it
01:43:36.320 and
01:43:36.520 let's
01:43:36.740 be
01:43:36.880 clear
01:43:37.160 it
01:43:37.440 doesn't
01:43:37.840 take
01:43:38.040 a
01:43:38.160 genius
01:43:38.380 hacker
01:43:38.680 to
01:43:38.860 do
01:43:39.000 this
01:43:39.300 with
01:43:39.760 some
01:43:40.000 off-the-shelf
01:43:40.600 hardware
01:43:41.000 even a
01:43:41.580 tech-savvy
01:43:42.120 teenager
01:43:42.600 could
01:43:42.900 potentially
01:43:43.340 access
01:43:43.720 your

01:43:46.040 card
01:43:46.260 details
01:43:46.720 now
01:43:47.300 you might
01:43:47.800 think
01:43:48.100 what's
01:43:48.520 the
01:43:48.640 big
01:43:48.780 deal
01:43:49.040 who'd
01:43:49.380 want
01:43:49.520 my
01:43:49.760 data
01:43:50.040 anyway
01:43:50.420 well
01:43:50.980 on
01:43:51.180 the
01:43:51.280 dark
01:43:51.500 web
01:43:51.700 your
01:43:52.020 personal
01:43:52.440 information
01:43:52.960 could
01:43:53.220 fetch

01:43:53.620 to
01:43:53.760 $1,000
01:43:54.540 that's
01:43:55.600 right
01:43:55.780 there's
01:43:56.020 a
01:43:56.160 whole
01:43:56.440 underground
01:43:56.900 economy
01:43:57.360 built

01:43:59.640 expressvpn
01:44:00.760 it's
01:44:01.320 like a
01:44:01.560 digital
01:44:01.840 fortress
01:44:02.260 creating
01:44:02.860 an

01:44:06.620 so
01:44:06.940 robust
01:44:07.380 that
01:44:07.620 it
01:44:07.760 would
01:44:07.860 take
01:44:08.000 a
01:44:08.140 hacker
01:44:08.400 with
01:44:08.600 a

01:45:57.020 hi
01:45:58.240 dr.
01:45:58.520 peterson
01:45:58.780 it appears
01:46:00.400 to me
01:46:00.660 from this
01:46:01.020 series
01:46:01.360 and from
01:46:02.240 the biblical
01:46:02.580 stories
01:46:02.980 themselves
01:46:03.380 that the
01:46:03.800 emphasis
01:46:04.140 of the
01:46:04.680 stories
01:46:05.040 is the
01:46:05.400 utmost
01:46:05.640 importance
01:46:06.160 of the
01:46:06.420 fool
01:46:06.680 for the
01:46:07.260 maintenance
01:46:07.640 and adaptation
01:46:08.760 of being
01:46:09.280 or society
01:46:09.940 the figure
01:46:10.700 who will
01:46:10.980 lunge
01:46:11.240 headfirst
01:46:11.760 into uncharted
01:46:12.340 territory
01:46:12.860 explicitly
01:46:13.600 aware of
01:46:14.280 the danger
01:46:14.720 and risk
01:46:15.200 of loss
01:46:15.640 in confronting
01:46:16.200 what cannot
01:46:16.560 be understood
01:46:17.120 but unafraid
01:46:18.080 and with zeal
01:46:18.740 and that the
01:46:19.540 dangers of
01:46:20.000 ideological
01:46:20.480 possession
01:46:21.020 are just as
01:46:23.160 much of a
01:46:23.500 concern
01:46:23.880 as that
01:46:25.400 individuals are
01:46:26.200 unwilling
01:46:26.620 and perhaps
01:46:27.320 unable to
01:46:27.940 form an
01:46:28.280 opinion
01:46:28.580 and take
01:46:29.020 a stance
01:46:29.380 one way
01:46:29.800 or another
01:46:30.200 when confronted
01:46:31.040 with a fork
01:46:31.540 in the road
01:46:32.000 or a decision
01:46:32.980 that must be
01:46:33.440 made
01:46:33.680 you've seen
01:46:34.840 this apathy
01:46:35.420 throughout the
01:46:36.400 universities
01:46:36.880 as I have
01:46:38.000 too in the
01:46:38.560 public schooling
01:46:38.980 system
01:46:39.380 my question
01:46:40.320 is how can
01:46:41.400 one model
01:46:41.860 being the
01:46:42.940 fool to
01:46:43.660 plunge into
01:46:44.120 the unknown
01:46:44.640 and publicly
01:46:45.160 fall on your
01:46:45.800 face in pursuit
01:46:46.620 of learning
01:46:47.000 in a way that
01:46:47.800 clearly demonstrates
01:46:48.520 the urgency
01:46:49.080 and utility
01:46:49.940 of the fool
01:46:50.420 well there
01:46:51.860 there isn't
01:46:52.080 well there isn't
01:46:52.100 any difference
01:46:52.660 between the fool
01:46:53.440 and someone
01:46:53.940 who's courageous
01:46:54.640 right from an
01:46:55.320 archetypal
01:46:55.820 perspective
01:46:56.360 and I mean
01:46:56.920 Abraham is a
01:46:57.660 fool obviously
01:46:58.480 when he starts
01:46:59.160 his adventures
01:47:00.740 I mean the
01:47:01.920 story lays it
01:47:02.580 out in that
01:47:02.980 manner
01:47:03.220 he's far too
01:47:04.360 old to be
01:47:05.000 leaving home
01:47:05.660 for example
01:47:06.360 he's a late
01:47:07.320 bloomer
01:47:07.800 you know
01:47:08.680 and then he
01:47:09.720 has a lot of
01:47:10.920 catastrophic adventures
01:47:12.060 along the way
01:47:12.820 and certainly
01:47:13.440 you could imagine
01:47:14.180 that had you
01:47:14.840 encountered him
01:47:15.880 when he first
01:47:16.420 encountered the
01:47:17.120 famine in the
01:47:17.880 land of strangers
01:47:18.680 when he first
01:47:19.280 went out
01:47:19.720 that the idea
01:47:20.780 that he had
01:47:21.320 he had followed
01:47:23.140 his misguided
01:47:24.220 intuitions
01:47:24.940 would have been
01:47:25.580 self-evident
01:47:26.560 but in the
01:47:28.880 Abrahamic stories
01:47:29.680 there is this
01:47:30.300 call to get
01:47:31.340 out and do
01:47:32.640 and that's it
01:47:34.680 and the thing
01:47:35.120 is that
01:47:35.600 you know
01:47:36.000 one of the
01:47:36.380 things I've
01:47:36.820 learned
01:47:37.120 to make it
01:47:38.160 concretely
01:47:38.680 is that
01:47:39.040 I've done a lot
01:47:39.980 of different
01:47:40.340 things in my
01:47:40.900 life
01:47:41.160 and every time
01:47:41.760 I did a new
01:47:42.340 thing I was
01:47:42.840 a fool
01:47:43.240 I did it
01:47:43.800 badly
01:47:44.100 I was an
01:47:44.780 imposter
01:47:45.340 right
01:47:45.640 and
01:47:46.180 because
01:47:48.340 when you
01:47:48.900 first start
01:47:49.420 to do
01:47:49.640 something
01:47:49.900 you don't
01:47:50.200 know what
01:47:50.460 you're doing
01:47:50.960 but that
01:47:52.280 that's okay
01:47:52.960 that's an
01:47:53.400 acceptance of
01:47:54.160 your vulnerability
01:47:54.780 right
01:47:55.560 and your
01:47:55.860 ignorance
01:47:56.200 that's humility
01:47:57.080 in some sense
01:47:57.800 the willingness
01:47:58.320 to be a fool
01:47:59.080 in the land
01:48:00.080 of strangers
01:48:00.660 that's it
01:48:01.500 the willingness
01:48:02.280 to be a fool
01:48:03.000 in the land
01:48:03.520 of strangers
01:48:04.040 and that's
01:48:05.240 an act of
01:48:05.700 courage
01:48:06.100 because you
01:48:06.860 also reveal
01:48:07.600 your vulnerability
01:48:08.240 to the world
01:48:09.000 by stumbling
01:48:09.640 around
01:48:10.060 but as long
01:48:10.960 as you're
01:48:11.240 stumbling forward
01:48:11.940 then you're
01:48:12.320 going to move
01:48:12.820 forward
01:48:13.280 now how do
01:48:14.720 you do that
01:48:15.120 more concretely
01:48:15.980 you aim at
01:48:16.740 an ideal
01:48:17.220 right
01:48:17.900 and you aim
01:48:18.680 at an ideal
01:48:19.120 that's beyond
01:48:19.860 you
01:48:20.220 now maybe
01:48:21.380 you don't aim
01:48:21.840 to begin
01:48:22.240 with at an
01:48:22.680 ideal
01:48:23.020 that's so
01:48:24.280 beyond you
01:48:25.000 that you're
01:48:25.580 crushed
01:48:26.240 by its
01:48:26.940 magnificence
01:48:28.300 you know
01:48:28.640 maybe that's
01:48:29.840 too demotivating
01:48:32.220 to move you
01:48:33.340 but you could
01:48:34.140 at least
01:48:34.560 conceptualize
01:48:35.480 yourself
01:48:35.920 as the you
01:48:37.100 that you are
01:48:37.900 with fewer
01:48:38.740 of the faults
01:48:39.620 that you know
01:48:40.360 of
01:48:40.640 and that's
01:48:41.900 a good start
01:48:42.460 and I also think
01:48:43.200 that's associated
01:48:43.960 with the idea
01:48:44.640 of humility
01:48:45.220 take stock
01:48:46.840 figure out
01:48:48.160 how it is
01:48:48.940 that you're
01:48:49.380 not who
01:48:49.980 you could
01:48:50.500 be
01:48:50.920 and then
01:48:52.300 move in
01:48:52.940 that direction
01:48:53.600 and accept
01:48:55.340 the consequences
01:48:56.160 you know
01:48:57.100 you're going to
01:48:58.220 get slapped
01:48:58.900 a lot
01:48:59.800 but maybe
01:49:00.760 with each
01:49:01.180 slap
01:49:01.500 you'll
01:49:01.780 straighten up
01:49:02.460 a little bit
01:49:03.000 especially
01:49:03.820 if you
01:49:04.140 listen
01:49:04.540 even to
01:49:05.040 the people
01:49:05.420 who are
01:49:05.700 slapping
01:49:06.140 you
01:49:06.420 because
01:49:07.120 sometimes
01:49:07.580 they're
01:49:07.840 the ones
01:49:08.220 who can
01:49:08.560 reveal
01:49:09.040 for you
01:49:10.180 very quickly
01:49:11.160 where it is
01:49:12.000 that you're
01:49:12.380 weak and
01:49:12.720 insufficient
01:49:13.160 so that you
01:49:14.220 won't have
01:49:14.600 to be that
01:49:15.020 way in the
01:49:15.400 future
01:49:15.740 so
01:49:16.840 yeah
01:49:18.600 hello

01:49:34.620 front of
01:49:34.940 you
01:49:35.120 and be
01:49:35.700 able to
01:49:36.100 thank you
01:49:36.780 for everything
01:49:37.500 you've done
01:49:38.640 for me
01:49:39.080 my pleasure
01:49:41.640 uh-oh
01:49:52.160 good morning
01:49:54.420 citizen peterson
01:49:55.460 you got a
01:49:57.360 short one
01:49:57.920 yeah i do
01:49:58.820 i mean a
01:49:59.380 question
01:49:59.680 saved the
01:50:00.300 best question
01:50:01.200 for last
01:50:01.960 trust me
01:50:02.760 this one's
01:50:03.160 good
01:50:03.400 but first
01:50:04.600 i'll break
01:50:05.300 the ice
01:50:05.780 many people
01:50:07.100 have said
01:50:07.780 no ice
01:50:09.160 breaker
01:50:09.500 you want me
01:50:10.180 to get right
01:50:10.580 into the
01:50:10.920 real question
01:50:11.440 i want you
01:50:11.880 to get right
01:50:12.280 into the
01:50:12.620 question
01:50:13.060 all right
01:50:13.900 so this
01:50:14.880 question is
01:50:15.480 about
01:50:15.740 hyper
01:50:17.020 critical
01:50:17.520 thinking
01:50:18.020 yep
01:50:18.380 now everyone
01:50:19.200 knows that
01:50:19.700 critical thinking
01:50:20.380 is a great
01:50:20.920 thing to develop
01:50:21.660 you have to
01:50:22.360 be able to
01:50:23.600 i guess
01:50:24.760 think about
01:50:25.520 your ideas
01:50:26.300 if information
01:50:27.560 is presented
01:50:28.140 to you
01:50:28.540 you have to
01:50:28.960 decide if
01:50:29.480 it's legitimate
01:50:30.080 or if there's
01:50:30.840 some sort
01:50:31.160 of deceit
01:50:31.620 behind it
01:50:32.220 but when
01:50:34.580 it's taken
01:50:35.040 to its
01:50:35.460 extreme
01:50:35.940 no matter
01:50:36.800 how great
01:50:37.580 or noble
01:50:38.180 somebody is
01:50:38.940 you can
01:50:39.240 always find
01:50:39.780 a crack
01:50:40.260 in the
01:50:40.540 armor
01:50:40.800 and try
01:50:41.360 to figure
01:50:41.760 out how
01:50:42.100 they're
01:50:42.640 covering up
01:50:44.100 something
01:50:44.480 that's not
01:50:45.040 great about
01:50:45.740 them
01:50:45.960 you know
01:50:46.280 and you
01:50:46.780 might then
01:50:47.160 discredit
01:50:47.640 everything
01:50:48.000 they do
01:50:48.460 as just
01:50:49.020 a facade
01:50:49.940 okay so
01:50:51.260 let me stop
01:50:52.020 you there
01:50:52.280 for a sec
01:50:52.640 because i want
01:50:53.120 to address
01:50:53.560 two of the
01:50:54.000 issues that
01:50:54.460 you already
01:50:54.840 brought up
01:50:55.400 so there's
01:50:57.120 the issue
01:50:58.160 of hyper
01:50:58.560 critical thinking
01:50:59.720 partly in
01:51:00.740 relationship to
01:51:01.460 yourself and
01:51:02.020 partly in
01:51:02.460 relationship to
01:51:03.120 others
01:51:03.400 so i'd like
01:51:04.800 to address
01:51:05.240 the issue
01:51:05.940 with regards
01:51:06.500 to yourself
01:51:07.060 to begin
01:51:07.520 with
01:51:07.800 so there's
01:51:08.940 this idea
01:51:09.440 that carl
01:51:09.960 jung
01:51:10.140 developed
01:51:10.640 he extracted
01:51:12.140 it i don't
01:51:13.020 know from
01:51:13.860 where
01:51:14.120 from some
01:51:14.800 ancient
01:51:15.160 writings that
01:51:15.700 he was
01:51:15.940 familiar
01:51:16.240 with
01:51:16.440 i believe
01:51:16.760 they were
01:51:17.060 jewish
01:51:17.400 writings
01:51:17.800 he said
01:51:18.820 that
01:51:19.140 classically
01:51:20.280 speaking
01:51:20.700 traditionally
01:51:21.160 speaking
01:51:21.660 god was
01:51:22.580 viewed
01:51:22.860 to
01:51:23.140 rule
01:51:23.880 being
01:51:24.740 with
01:51:24.980 two
01:51:25.260 hands
01:51:25.680 the
01:51:25.900 right
01:51:26.100 hand
01:51:26.340 and
01:51:26.460 left
01:51:26.760 hand
01:51:27.060 and
01:51:27.240 the
01:51:27.860 right
01:51:28.060 hand
01:51:28.260 was
01:51:28.420 justice
01:51:29.020 and that
01:51:30.260 was
01:51:30.420 you're
01:51:30.700 going to
01:51:30.920 get
01:51:31.140 what's
01:51:31.420 coming
01:51:31.680 to
01:51:31.880 you
01:51:32.080 but
01:51:32.880 the
01:51:33.020 left
01:51:33.240 hand
01:51:33.440 was
01:51:33.620 mercy
01:51:34.040 and
01:51:35.460 the
01:51:35.580 idea
01:51:35.840 essentially
01:51:36.300 was
01:51:36.620 that
01:51:36.840 the
01:51:37.120 cosmos
01:51:37.440 could
01:51:37.700 not
01:51:37.860 exist
01:51:38.200 without
01:51:38.440 the
01:51:38.680 proper
01:51:38.940 combination
01:51:39.460 of
01:51:39.660 justice
01:51:39.960 and
01:51:40.160 mercy
01:51:40.420 you
01:51:41.060 should
01:51:41.280 get
01:51:41.460 what's
01:51:41.700 coming
01:51:41.920 to
01:51:42.100 you
01:51:42.280 but
01:51:42.920 people
01:51:43.500 are
01:51:43.680 fallible
01:51:44.020 and
01:51:44.200 they
01:51:44.320 make
01:51:44.480 mistakes
01:51:44.980 and
01:51:46.000 so
01:51:46.180 it's
01:51:46.440 reasonable
01:51:46.800 to
01:51:47.100 apply
01:51:47.420 that
01:51:47.760 to
01:51:47.940 yourself
01:51:48.420 you
01:51:49.020 know
01:51:49.160 there's
01:51:50.040 an
01:51:50.160 idea
01:51:50.420 that's
01:51:50.700 been
01:51:50.860 developed
01:51:51.180 by
01:51:51.380 psychologists
01:51:51.880 over
01:51:52.180 the
01:51:52.340 last
01:51:52.680 few
01:51:53.460 decades
01:51:53.880 that
01:51:54.100 people
01:51:54.340 are
01:51:54.560 basically
01:51:55.340 narcissistic
01:51:56.120 and
01:51:56.300 that
01:51:56.460 they
01:51:57.500 generally
01:51:57.840 feel
01:51:58.140 that
01:51:58.300 they're
01:51:58.460 better
01:51:58.660 at
01:51:58.840 most
01:51:59.060 things
01:51:59.300 than
01:51:59.440 other
01:51:59.620 people
01:51:59.960 I
01:52:01.000 don't
01:52:01.180 buy
01:52:01.460 that
01:52:01.800 I
01:52:02.120 don't
01:52:02.260 think
01:52:02.440 the
01:52:02.580 experimental
01:52:03.040 evidence
01:52:03.640 for
01:52:03.820 that
01:52:03.980 is
01:52:04.080 very
01:52:04.260 strong
01:52:04.620 and
01:52:04.740 I
01:52:04.840 certainly
01:52:05.100 haven't
01:52:05.400 seen
01:52:05.600 that
01:52:05.860 for
01:52:06.320 example
01:52:06.620 in
01:52:06.800 my
01:52:06.940 clinical
01:52:07.240 practice
01:52:07.740 where
01:52:08.420 I've
01:52:08.580 seen
01:52:08.760 that
01:52:08.920 people
01:52:09.140 are
01:52:09.340 generally
01:52:09.680 far
01:52:09.980 harder
01:52:10.260 on
01:52:10.460 themselves
01:52:10.820 than
01:52:11.040 they
01:52:11.180 are
01:52:11.340 on
01:52:11.460 other
01:52:11.640 people
01:52:12.000 one
01:52:14.120 example
01:52:14.520 of
01:52:14.700 that
01:52:14.880 I've
01:52:15.100 written
01:52:15.280 about
01:52:15.520 this
01:52:15.760 in
01:52:15.880 my
01:52:16.040 new
01:52:16.180 book
01:52:16.400 too
01:52:16.620 is
01:52:16.780 that
01:52:16.940 you
01:52:17.060 know
01:52:17.160 if
01:52:17.300 you
01:52:17.420 have
01:52:17.660 a
01:52:17.820 pet
01:52:18.040 that's
01:52:18.320 sick
01:52:18.500 and
01:52:18.640 you
01:52:18.720 take
01:52:18.920 it
01:52:19.000 to
01:52:19.120 the
01:52:19.420 vet
01:52:19.780 and
01:52:20.200 you
01:52:20.280 get
01:52:20.440 medication
01:52:20.960 you're
01:52:21.660 very
01:52:21.860 likely
01:52:22.160 to
01:52:22.320 give
01:52:22.480 the
01:52:22.640 entire
01:52:23.300 course
01:52:23.580 of
01:52:23.700 medication
01:52:24.140 to
01:52:24.380 go
01:52:24.480 to
01:52:24.600 the
01:52:24.700 pharmacy
01:52:25.060 to
01:52:25.700 get
01:52:25.900 the
01:52:26.140 prescription
01:52:26.560 filled
01:52:26.960 to
01:52:27.580 give
01:52:27.840 the
01:52:28.000 pet
01:52:28.180 the
01:52:28.320 medication
01:52:28.780 to
01:52:29.240 follow
01:52:29.520 it
01:52:29.700 through
01:52:30.040 but
01:52:30.540 if
01:52:30.680 you
01:52:30.980 are
01:52:31.320 the
01:52:31.500 person
01:52:31.860 who
01:52:32.340 has
01:52:32.540 the
01:52:32.680 problem
01:52:33.020 yeah
01:52:33.480 you
01:52:33.680 all
01:52:33.860 laugh
01:52:34.120 because
01:52:34.320 you
01:52:34.420 know
01:52:34.580 the
01:52:34.760 story
01:52:35.120 it's
01:52:35.620 like
01:52:35.880 a
01:52:36.560 30
01:52:36.800 you
01:52:37.000 won't
01:52:37.180 even
01:52:37.340 go
01:52:37.540 fill
01:52:37.780 the
01:52:37.980 prescription
01:52:38.440 and
01:52:38.840 of
01:52:39.120 the
01:52:39.260 remaining
01:52:39.560 two
01:52:39.840 thirds
01:52:40.100 of
01:52:40.300 you
01:52:40.460 half
01:52:40.820 won't
01:52:41.200 take
01:52:41.700 it
01:52:41.840 to
01:52:42.060 completion
01:52:42.880 and
01:52:43.180 you
01:52:43.300 think
01:52:43.520 well
01:52:43.720 why
01:52:44.180 are
01:52:44.320 people
01:52:44.580 like
01:52:44.840 that
01:52:45.080 and
01:52:45.200 I
01:52:45.320 think
01:52:45.500 it's
01:52:45.680 because
01:52:45.960 they
01:52:46.740 know
01:52:47.360 themselves
01:52:47.960 they
01:52:48.540 have
01:52:48.720 contempt
01:52:49.240 for
01:52:49.480 themselves
01:52:49.900 because
01:52:50.260 of
01:52:50.440 their
01:52:50.600 flaws
01:52:50.960 and
01:52:51.580 then
01:52:51.800 they
01:52:52.080 come
01:52:52.540 to
01:52:52.760 despise
01:52:53.320 themselves
01:52:53.860 and
01:52:54.360 I
01:52:54.460 think
01:52:54.640 that's
01:52:54.860 a
01:52:54.960 big
01:52:55.100 mistake
01:52:55.480 that's
01:52:55.880 lack
01:52:56.200 that's
01:52:56.560 too
01:52:56.740 much
01:52:56.960 justice
01:52:57.440 and
01:52:57.680 not
01:52:57.860 enough
01:52:58.100 mercy
01:52:58.500 and
01:52:58.740 you
01:52:59.360 know
01:52:59.480 Jung
01:52:59.820 wrote
01:53:00.080 about
01:53:00.380 the
01:53:01.100 biblical
01:53:01.400 injunction
01:53:01.940 that
01:53:02.200 you
01:53:02.360 should
01:53:02.580 treat
01:53:03.060 your
01:53:03.660 neighbor
01:53:04.040 as
01:53:04.500 if
01:53:04.740 he
01:53:04.940 were
01:53:05.140 yourself
01:53:05.680 essentially
01:53:06.520 but
01:53:07.680 he
01:53:07.800 talked
01:53:08.040 about
01:53:08.240 that
01:53:08.440 as
01:53:08.580 an
01:53:08.700 equation
01:53:09.140 which
01:53:09.420 was
01:53:09.580 quite
01:53:09.800 interesting
01:53:10.280 so
01:53:10.520 because
01:53:11.060 it's
01:53:11.260 often
01:53:11.540 read
01:53:11.900 as
01:53:17.960 low-end
01:53:18.540 virtue
01:53:18.940 but
01:53:19.320 it
01:53:20.000 isn't
01:53:20.240 what
01:53:20.400 it
01:53:20.560 means
01:53:20.940 what
01:53:21.180 it
01:53:21.320 means
01:53:21.560 is
01:53:21.760 that
01:53:21.980 you
01:53:22.160 should
01:53:22.420 treat
01:53:23.840 your
01:53:24.340 neighbor
01:53:24.660 as
01:53:25.240 if
01:53:25.520 he
01:53:26.060 or
01:53:26.240 she
01:53:26.460 is
01:53:26.940 someone
01:53:27.220 that
01:53:27.460 you
01:53:27.640 wish
01:53:27.840 to
01:53:28.020 encourage
01:53:28.440 and
01:53:28.760 develop
01:53:29.220 but
01:53:30.080 that
01:53:30.240 you
01:53:30.380 should
01:53:30.560 also
01:53:30.860 have
01:53:31.140 exactly
01:53:31.580 the
01:53:31.800 same
01:53:32.000 attitude
01:53:32.360 towards
01:53:32.880 yourself
01:53:33.320 which
01:53:33.600 is
01:53:33.760 sort
01:53:34.240 of
01:53:34.360 in
01:53:34.480 some
01:53:34.680 sense
01:53:34.900 regardless
01:53:35.420 of
01:53:35.660 what
01:53:35.820 your
01:53:36.000 opinion
01:53:36.320 is
01:53:36.680 of
01:53:36.840 yourself
01:53:37.320 critical
01:53:38.420 let's
01:53:38.780 say
01:53:39.000 hypercritical
01:53:40.000 even
01:53:40.240 which
01:53:40.600 is
01:53:40.680 often
01:53:40.920 the
01:53:41.100 case
01:53:41.300 with
01:53:41.460 people
01:53:41.740 who
01:53:47.960 to
01:53:48.180 yourself
01:53:48.700 the
01:53:49.000 same
01:53:49.460 sympathy
01:53:50.460 we
01:53:50.960 could
01:53:51.140 say
01:53:51.460 that
01:53:51.900 you
01:53:52.040 would
01:53:52.160 extend
01:53:52.520 to
01:53:52.760 someone
01:53:53.060 else
01:53:53.320 that
01:53:53.500 you
01:53:53.640 cared
01:53:53.980 for
01:53:54.340 that's
01:53:55.140 the
01:53:55.300 thing
01:53:55.600 is
01:53:55.780 that
01:53:55.920 you
01:53:56.060 have
01:53:56.380 to
01:53:56.560 come
01:53:56.860 to
01:53:57.060 treat
01:53:57.340 yourself
01:53:57.800 as
01:53:58.320 if
01:53:58.540 you're
01:53:58.740 someone
01:53:59.000 that
01:53:59.240 you
01:53:59.380 care
01:53:59.660 for
01:53:59.940 and
01:54:00.300 I
01:54:00.400 mean
01:54:00.540 that
01:54:00.740 technically
01:54:01.400 you
01:54:02.100 know
01:54:02.200 you
01:54:02.360 detach
01:54:02.780 yourself
01:54:03.480 from
01:54:03.740 yourself
01:54:04.160 and
01:54:04.360 you
01:54:04.460 think
01:54:04.660 okay
01:54:04.920 well
01:54:05.140 if
01:54:05.280 I
01:54:05.420 was
01:54:05.580 going
01:54:05.840 to
01:54:06.180 construct
01:54:07.400 a
01:54:08.280 mode
01:54:08.600 of
01:54:08.800 being
01:54:09.100 that
01:54:09.560 was
01:54:09.740 optimal
01:54:10.340 for
01:54:10.640 this
01:54:10.920 person
01:54:11.460 that
01:54:11.720 I
01:54:11.880 happen
01:54:12.180 to
01:54:12.360 be
01:54:12.660 what
01:54:13.340 would
01:54:13.540 that
01:54:13.780 look
01:54:14.100 like
01:54:14.480 and
01:54:14.840 that
01:54:14.980 sort
01:54:15.180 of
01:54:15.280 independent
01:54:15.760 of
01:54:16.020 whether
01:54:16.180 or not
01:54:16.380 you
01:54:16.520 think
01:54:16.780 you
01:54:16.940 deserve
01:54:17.340 it
01:54:17.660 it's
01:54:18.140 like
01:54:18.320 maybe
01:54:18.760 you
01:54:18.940 deserve
01:54:19.240 it
01:54:19.380 maybe
01:54:19.660 you
01:54:19.820 don't
01:54:20.140 innocent
01:54:20.560 until
01:54:20.900 proven
01:54:21.260 guilty
01:54:21.640 that's
01:54:21.980 a
01:54:22.080 pretty
01:54:22.200 good
01:54:22.420 policy
01:54:22.940 but
01:54:23.780 you
01:54:24.260 should
01:54:24.540 come
01:54:24.860 to
01:54:25.180 lay
01:54:25.700 out
01:54:26.040 a
01:54:26.480 mode
01:54:26.680 of
01:54:26.800 being
01:54:26.980 for
01:54:27.200 yourself
01:54:27.620 that
01:54:28.020 gives
01:54:28.780 you
01:54:28.980 some
01:54:29.240 credit
01:54:29.660 you
01:54:30.400 know
01:54:30.480 and
01:54:30.640 that
01:54:30.880 will
01:54:31.640 also
01:54:31.940 help
01:54:32.240 you
01:54:32.380 in
01:54:32.520 your
01:54:32.640 dealings
01:54:32.960 with
01:54:33.120 other
01:54:33.320 people
01:54:33.640 but
01:54:33.840 it's
01:54:34.020 often
01:54:34.260 very
01:54:34.520 difficult
01:54:34.860 for
01:54:35.120 people
01:54:35.360 to
01:54:35.540 do
01:54:35.680 that
01:54:35.880 to
01:54:36.040 themselves
01:54:36.500 okay
01:54:37.560 so
01:54:37.860 that's
01:54:38.560 the
01:54:38.740 first
01:54:39.580 part
01:54:39.860 of
01:54:39.980 that
01:54:40.200 perfect
01:54:41.400 so
01:54:43.340 it
01:54:43.560 starts
01:54:43.820 out
01:54:43.980 with
01:54:44.120 this
01:54:44.300 hyper
01:54:44.560 critical
01:54:45.000 thinking
01:54:45.480 and
01:54:46.180 you
01:54:46.300 talk
01:54:46.580 a lot
01:54:46.880 about
01:54:47.280 Nietzsche's
01:54:48.080 assertion
01:54:48.620 about
01:54:48.920 the
01:54:49.160 death
01:54:49.560 of
01:54:49.740 God
01:54:50.140 but
01:54:51.120 I
01:54:51.400 see
01:54:51.660 it
01:54:51.860 sort
01:54:52.180 of
01:54:52.340 more
01:54:52.560 like
01:54:52.800 a
01:54:53.000 willful
01:54:53.500 destruction
01:54:54.240 of
01:54:54.700 the
01:54:55.040 heroic
01:54:55.980 ideal
01:54:56.560 and
01:54:57.840 I
01:54:58.180 guess
01:54:58.360 several
01:54:58.760 months
01:54:59.100 ago
01:54:59.300 I
01:54:59.460 had
01:54:59.600 occasion
01:54:59.960 to
01:55:00.180 look
01:55:00.400 up
01:55:00.580 a
01:55:00.780 definition
01:55:01.440 or
01:55:02.480 explanation
01:55:03.140 for
01:55:03.880 the
01:55:04.420 zeitgeist
01:55:05.140 of
01:55:05.900 modern
01:55:06.520 victimhood
01:55:07.180 outrage
01:55:07.640 culture
01:55:08.100 and
01:55:08.980 I
01:55:09.240 saw
01:55:09.660 it
01:55:09.860 in
01:55:10.060 this
01:55:10.240 particular
01:55:10.660 case
01:55:11.020 and
01:55:11.140 I
01:55:11.260 found
01:55:11.660 and
01:55:12.320 this
01:55:12.580 paragraph
01:55:13.120 okay
01:55:13.660 this
01:55:13.960 has
01:55:14.320 what
01:55:14.820 you
01:55:14.940 call
01:55:15.200 the
01:55:15.500 rhythmic
01:55:15.860 cadence
01:55:16.480 that
01:55:17.220 just
01:55:17.480 made
01:55:17.840 my
01:55:18.120 hair
01:55:18.480 stand
01:55:18.900 up
01:55:19.100 on
01:55:19.260 its
01:55:19.400 ends
01:55:19.600 and
01:55:20.420 if
01:55:20.560 you
01:55:20.680 could
01:55:20.860 look
01:55:21.100 at
01:55:21.340 it
01:55:21.580 and
01:55:22.180 read
01:55:22.460 this
01:55:22.680 this
01:55:22.860 is
01:55:23.000 better
01:55:23.300 than
01:55:23.480 the
01:55:23.620 last
01:55:23.860 one
01:55:24.080 the
01:55:29.160 image
01:55:29.460 of
01:55:29.620 man
01:55:29.860 that
01:55:30.040 dominates
01:55:30.560 in
01:55:30.700 modern
01:55:30.980 literature
01:55:31.380 in
01:55:31.680 visual
01:55:31.980 art
01:55:32.280 cinema
01:55:32.640 and
01:55:32.900 theater
01:55:33.160 is
01:55:33.420 primarily
01:55:33.840 a
01:55:34.160 gloomy
01:55:34.800 image
01:55:35.200 the
01:55:35.680 great
01:55:35.920 and
01:55:36.080 the
01:55:36.200 noble
01:55:36.420 are
01:55:36.600 suspect
01:55:37.080 from
01:55:37.400 the
01:55:37.540 outset
01:55:37.900 they
01:55:38.700 must
01:55:38.900 be
01:55:39.080 torn
01:55:39.280 from
01:55:39.500 their
01:55:39.660 pedestal
01:55:40.140 so
01:55:40.340 that
01:55:40.500 one
01:55:40.800 can
01:55:41.020 see
01:55:41.240 through
01:55:41.480 them
01:55:41.740 morality
01:55:42.560 counts
01:55:43.000 as
01:55:43.160 hypocrisy
01:55:43.800 and joy
01:55:44.320 as
01:55:44.540 self
01:55:44.760 deception
01:55:45.280 anyone
01:55:46.160 who
01:55:46.440 simply
01:55:46.760 puts
01:55:47.040 trust
01:55:47.380 in
01:55:47.540 the
01:55:47.640 beautiful
01:55:47.940 and
01:55:48.140 the
01:55:48.260 good
01:55:48.420 is
01:55:48.580 either
01:55:48.800 inexcusably
01:55:49.560 ingenuous
01:55:50.640 or
01:55:50.840 acting
01:55:51.180 with
01:55:51.400 evil
01:55:51.680 intent
01:55:52.160 the
01:55:53.120 truly
01:55:53.380 moral
01:55:53.720 attitude
01:55:54.080 is
01:55:54.360 suspicion
01:55:54.900 and
01:55:55.240 its
01:55:55.400 greatest
01:55:55.700 success
01:55:56.360 is
01:55:56.880 in
01:55:57.020 exposing
01:55:57.580 criticism
01:55:58.480 of
01:55:58.900 society
01:55:59.380 is
01:55:59.580 obligatory
01:56:00.240 it
01:56:00.780 is
01:56:00.920 impossible
01:56:01.300 to
01:56:01.600 find
01:56:01.820 words
01:56:02.220 lurid
01:56:02.800 and
01:56:03.040 brutal
01:56:03.360 enough
01:56:03.720 to
01:56:03.940 describe
01:56:04.360 the
01:56:04.540 dangers
01:56:04.880 that
01:56:05.120 threaten
01:56:05.400 us
01:56:05.720 this
01:56:06.420 delight
01:56:06.780 in
01:56:06.940 the
01:56:07.060 negative
01:56:07.400 is
01:56:07.980 not
01:56:08.260 however
01:56:08.660 unlimited
01:56:09.260 there
01:56:10.480 exists
01:56:10.840 at the
01:56:11.160 same
01:56:11.340 time
01:56:11.580 an
01:56:11.740 obligation
01:56:12.220 to
01:56:12.420 be
01:56:12.580 optimistic
01:56:13.120 and
01:56:13.840 the
01:56:13.980 failure
01:56:14.260 to
01:56:14.480 observe
01:56:15.040 this
01:56:15.260 obligation
01:56:15.760 does
01:56:16.000 not
01:56:16.200 go
01:56:16.400 unpunished
01:56:17.040 for
01:56:17.840 example
01:56:18.160 anyone
01:56:18.480 who
01:56:18.700 expresses
01:56:19.120 the
01:56:19.360 view
01:56:19.520 that
01:56:19.720 not
01:56:19.900 everything
01:56:20.300 in
01:56:20.520 the
01:56:20.640 intellectual
01:56:21.100 development
01:56:21.620 of
01:56:21.820 the
01:56:21.940 modern
01:56:22.180 period
01:56:22.500 has
01:56:22.720 been
01:56:22.880 correct
01:56:23.320 that
01:56:23.940 is
01:56:24.120 necessary
01:56:24.640 in
01:56:24.860 some
01:56:25.060 essential
01:56:25.460 areas
01:56:25.800 to
01:56:25.960 reflect
01:56:26.260 on
01:56:26.500 the
01:56:26.640 shared
01:56:26.840 wisdom
01:56:27.160 of
01:56:27.340 the
01:56:27.440 great
01:56:27.640 cultures
01:56:28.060 has
01:56:29.160 chosen
01:56:29.480 to
01:56:29.680 make
01:56:29.820 the
01:56:29.960 wrong
01:56:30.140 kind
01:56:30.380 of
01:56:30.500 criticism
01:56:30.940 he
01:56:31.540 finds
01:56:31.840 himself
01:56:32.160 suddenly
01:56:32.540 confronted
01:56:33.400 with
01:56:33.800 a
01:56:33.940 resolute
01:56:34.400 apologia
01:56:35.100 for
01:56:35.660 the
01:56:35.820 fundamental
01:56:36.240 decisions
01:56:36.720 of
01:56:36.920 the
01:56:37.060 modern
01:56:37.320 age
01:56:37.700 no
01:56:38.360 matter
01:56:38.520 how
01:56:38.740 much
01:56:38.940 delight
01:56:39.300 one
01:56:39.500 may
01:56:39.680 take
01:56:39.940 in
01:56:40.040 negation
01:56:40.500 he
01:56:40.960 is
01:56:41.060 not
01:56:41.260 permitted
01:56:41.640 to
01:56:41.840 call
01:56:42.040 into
01:56:42.240 question
01:56:42.600 the
01:56:42.780 view
01:56:42.960 that
01:56:43.140 the
01:56:43.300 fundamental
01:56:43.740 trajectory
01:56:51.820 about
01:56:52.160 nihilism
01:56:52.940 let's
01:56:53.320 say
01:56:53.520 and
01:56:54.520 and
01:56:55.260 its
01:56:55.400 justification
01:56:56.180 and
01:56:57.360 I
01:56:57.480 think
01:56:57.720 that
01:56:57.960 a
01:56:59.060 very
01:56:59.260 powerful
01:56:59.720 justification
01:57:00.300 for
01:57:00.780 nihilism
01:57:01.320 can be
01:57:02.080 found
01:57:02.380 in the
01:57:02.680 mere
01:57:02.900 observation
01:57:03.360 that
01:57:03.820 life
01:57:04.160 is
01:57:04.360 rife
01:57:04.720 with
01:57:04.940 tragedy
01:57:05.460 and
01:57:06.020 malevolence
01:57:06.680 of
01:57:07.560 which
01:57:07.780 there
01:57:08.260 is
01:57:08.440 no
01:57:08.600 doubt
01:57:08.940 but
01:57:10.600 then
01:57:10.780 I
01:57:10.940 I
01:57:11.560 got
01:57:11.740 suspicious
01:57:12.380 of
01:57:12.760 that
01:57:13.120 rationale
01:57:14.760 for
01:57:15.100 nihilism
01:57:15.600 over
01:57:15.800 the
01:57:15.980 years
01:57:16.180 because
01:57:16.520 a
01:57:16.980 counter
01:57:17.260 position
01:57:17.700 to
01:57:18.620 it
01:57:18.800 emerged
01:57:19.380 and
01:57:19.600 this
01:57:19.840 is
01:57:19.960 something
01:57:20.240 Nietzsche
01:57:20.560 of
01:57:20.720 course
01:57:20.900 concentrated
01:57:21.460 on
01:57:21.700 as
01:57:21.840 well
01:57:22.080 that
01:57:22.460 had
01:57:22.640 more
01:57:22.820 to
01:57:22.940 do
01:57:23.060 with
01:57:23.200 resentment
01:57:23.680 it's
01:57:24.260 like
01:57:24.440 you
01:57:26.580 can
01:57:26.740 imagine
01:57:27.140 negation
01:57:27.720 of
01:57:27.880 the
01:57:28.020 heroic
01:57:28.340 ideal
01:57:28.800 from
01:57:29.400 despair
01:57:29.960 from
01:57:30.480 the
01:57:30.620 despair
01:57:30.980 say
01:57:31.320 produced
01:57:31.700 by
01:57:31.900 tragedy
01:57:32.320 and
01:57:32.540 by
01:57:32.760 exposure
01:57:33.280 to
01:57:33.500 malevolence
01:57:34.020 but
01:57:34.620 it's
01:57:35.300 also
01:57:35.660 it's
01:57:37.300 completely
01:57:37.800 and
01:57:38.040 delightfully
01:57:38.520 irresponsible
01:57:39.160 to
01:57:39.520 negate
01:57:39.880 the
01:57:40.040 heroic
01:57:40.320 ideal
01:57:40.720 because
01:57:41.600 it
01:57:41.740 means
01:57:41.940 that
01:57:42.100 you
01:57:42.200 don't
01:57:42.320 have
01:57:42.500 any
01:57:42.640 responsibility
01:57:43.240 and
01:57:44.720 it
01:57:44.860 seems
01:57:45.060 to
01:57:45.240 me
01:57:45.420 that
01:57:45.720 if
01:57:46.560 you're
01:57:46.860 nihilistic
01:57:47.580 and
01:57:48.580 prone
01:57:48.980 to
01:57:49.380 criticize
01:57:50.320 the
01:57:50.760 heroic
01:57:51.120 foundation
01:57:51.900 of
01:57:52.260 let's
01:57:52.680 say
01:57:52.820 western
01:57:53.160 culture
01:57:53.600 that
01:57:54.340 one
01:57:54.500 of
01:57:54.620 the
01:57:54.740 first
01:57:54.940 questions
01:57:55.340 that
01:57:55.520 you
01:57:55.660 could
01:57:55.820 ask
01:57:56.120 yourself
01:57:56.480 is
01:57:56.760 what
01:57:57.460 makes
01:57:57.800 you
01:57:58.000 so
01:57:58.220 sure
01:57:58.540 that
01:57:58.800 you're
01:57:59.180 appropriately
01:58:00.080 cynical
01:58:00.700 suspicious
01:58:01.300 and
01:58:01.620 critical
01:58:01.980 and
01:58:02.500 not
01:58:02.700 just
01:58:02.980 running
01:58:03.380 away
01:58:03.660 as
01:58:03.840 fast
01:58:04.180 as
01:58:04.320 you
01:58:04.460 possibly
01:58:04.900 can
01:58:05.220 from
01:58:05.400 every
01:58:05.680 bit
01:58:05.880 of
01:58:05.980 responsibility
01:58:06.540 that
01:58:06.980 you
01:58:07.100 could
01:58:07.260 possibly
01:58:07.740 adopt
01:58:08.240 and
01:58:09.380 I
01:58:09.580 think
01:58:09.780 that
01:58:09.940 that's
01:58:10.160 a
01:58:10.260 perfectly
01:58:10.560 reasonable
01:58:11.060 perspective
01:58:11.720 and
01:58:12.020 I
01:58:12.220 think
01:58:12.440 that
01:58:12.600 that
01:58:12.760 is
01:58:12.920 reflected
01:58:13.380 to
01:58:13.600 some
01:58:13.800 degree
01:58:14.080 in
01:58:14.260 what
01:58:14.440 the
01:58:15.000 person
01:58:15.300 who
01:58:15.480 wrote
01:58:15.660 this
01:58:15.860 paragraph
01:58:16.180 was
01:58:16.500 attempting
01:58:16.860 to
01:58:17.120 can you
01:58:17.300 guess
01:58:17.560 who it
01:58:17.840 was
01:58:18.040 who wrote
01:58:18.320 that
01:58:18.480 paragraph
01:58:18.680 no
01:58:18.880 I
01:58:19.080 can't
01:58:20.200 really
01:58:20.500 no
01:58:21.240 I
01:58:22.880 left
01:58:23.160 you
01:58:23.320 a hint
01:58:23.760 at the
01:58:24.240 who
01:58:25.060 was
01:58:25.320 it
01:58:25.980 Cardinal
01:58:26.500 Ratzinger
01:58:27.080 come on
01:58:27.480 there
01:58:28.440 it
01:58:28.600 all right
01:58:29.540 I'm
01:58:29.900 going to
01:58:30.140 take
01:58:30.360 another
01:58:30.620 question
01:58:31.180 well
01:58:32.300 done
01:58:32.680 hello
01:58:38.600 hello
01:58:39.760 how are
01:58:40.520 you doing
01:58:40.900 doing
01:58:41.520 good
01:58:41.860 Dr.
01:58:42.260 Peterson
01:58:42.520 it's
01:58:43.140 been
01:58:43.280 a
01:58:43.400 pleasure
01:58:43.660 12
01:58:44.440 weeks
01:58:44.880 12
01:58:45.740 12
01:58:47.040 moments
01:58:47.520 let's
01:58:47.760 say
01:58:47.980 okay
01:58:48.740 so
01:58:49.620 two
01:58:50.220 weeks
01:58:50.420 ago
01:58:50.620 we
01:58:50.820 talked
01:58:51.120 about
01:58:51.520 your
01:58:52.380 mischievous
01:58:53.200 suggestion
01:58:53.940 I
01:58:54.540 might
01:58:55.200 say
01:58:55.520 to
01:58:56.320 cut
01:58:56.760 the
01:58:56.920 university's
01:58:57.640 funding
01:58:57.940 by
01:58:58.120 25%
01:58:58.820 and
01:58:59.080 how
01:58:59.280 that
01:58:59.480 might
01:58:59.680 have
01:58:59.880 influenced
01:59:00.960 that
01:59:01.660 sort
01:59:01.880 of
01:59:01.980 language
01:59:02.260 and
01:59:02.800 Andrew
01:59:03.700 Shear's
01:59:04.220 platform
01:59:05.480 right
01:59:05.800 yeah
01:59:06.200 and so
01:59:06.720 and then
01:59:07.180 you discussed
01:59:07.980 how
01:59:08.360 you're not
01:59:08.880 exactly
01:59:09.200 sure
01:59:09.500 what your
01:59:09.940 role is
01:59:10.800 in all
01:59:11.080 of this
01:59:11.540 and
01:59:12.040 and that
01:59:13.260 you don't
01:59:14.860 want to be
01:59:15.220 in a war
01:59:15.760 and you
01:59:16.000 don't want
01:59:16.260 to be
01:59:16.440 using
01:59:16.700 war-like
01:59:17.280 language
01:59:17.900 and
01:59:19.120 and
01:59:22.120 I think
01:59:22.760 I think
01:59:23.340 what you
01:59:23.820 what you
01:59:24.780 want to be
01:59:25.180 doing
01:59:25.480 is
01:59:25.840 you're
01:59:27.180 trying to
01:59:27.600 restore
01:59:28.180 order
01:59:28.580 but not
01:59:29.180 but not
01:59:30.680 but not
01:59:31.380 have
01:59:31.560 conflict
01:59:32.000 and
01:59:32.720 and so
01:59:35.440 I
01:59:35.720 so I
01:59:36.580 so after
01:59:37.300 the
01:59:37.660 after the
01:59:38.260 lecture
01:59:39.200 two weeks
01:59:39.600 ago
01:59:39.760 I asked
01:59:40.440 you like
01:59:40.820 maybe I
01:59:42.180 should
01:59:42.360 do some
01:59:43.160 sales work
01:59:43.860 for your
01:59:44.980 postmodern
01:59:46.640 lexicon
01:59:47.120 website
01:59:47.620 and
01:59:48.180 but I
01:59:49.860 think I've
01:59:50.220 found a
01:59:50.700 better niche
01:59:51.440 for
01:59:52.200 someone of
01:59:53.260 my temperament
01:59:54.000 to help
01:59:54.620 this cause
01:59:55.900 so
01:59:56.540 so I
01:59:57.600 think
01:59:57.800 so I
01:59:58.580 go to
01:59:58.800 Dalhousie
01:59:59.260 University
01:59:59.720 and
02:00:00.700 because
02:00:01.300 so many
02:00:02.020 students
02:00:02.660 are
02:00:03.600 dropping
02:00:04.300 out
02:00:04.600 especially
02:00:05.080 men
02:00:05.440 and
02:00:05.600 especially
02:00:06.140 ethnic
02:00:08.400 minorities
02:00:09.000 they've
02:00:11.060 created
02:00:11.320 this
02:00:11.540 team
02:00:11.860 called
02:00:12.160 the
02:00:12.480 student
02:00:13.680 success
02:00:14.060 team
02:00:14.560 or
02:00:14.700 something
02:00:15.040 student
02:00:15.640 success
02:00:16.140 advisors
02:00:16.620 yeah
02:00:17.220 and
02:00:17.740 you've
02:00:18.460 been
02:00:18.620 incredibly
02:00:20.500 successful
02:00:21.200 crowdfunding
02:00:22.060 for your
02:00:23.600 research
02:00:24.240 and
02:00:25.000 on your
02:00:26.860 Patreon
02:00:27.240 and I
02:00:27.640 think
02:00:28.080 like
02:00:29.060 how much
02:00:29.600 does it
02:00:29.900 cost
02:00:30.300 for a
02:00:30.960 single
02:00:31.220 person
02:00:31.580 to do
02:00:31.860 the
02:00:32.020 self
02:00:32.320 authoring
02:00:32.840 program
02:00:33.300 well
02:00:35.220 it's
02:00:35.520 two
02:00:35.920 for
02:00:36.120 one
02:00:36.380 so
02:00:36.580 it's
02:00:36.740 about
02:00:36.940 fifteen
02:00:37.320 dollars
02:00:37.780 okay
02:00:38.520 so
02:00:39.020 okay
02:00:39.520 so
02:00:39.920 nothing
02:00:40.380 then
02:00:40.800 basically
02:00:41.260 but I
02:00:42.660 was
02:00:42.860 thinking
02:00:43.180 that
02:00:43.560 we
02:00:43.960 somehow
02:00:44.880 we
02:00:45.480 could
02:00:45.760 incorporate
02:00:46.640 the
02:00:46.860 self
02:00:47.100 authoring
02:00:47.520 program
02:00:47.940 into
02:00:48.440 this
02:00:48.900 into
02:00:49.900 this
02:00:50.300 new
02:00:50.860 advisor
02:00:52.640 committee
02:00:53.140 at
02:00:53.540 DAL
02:00:53.880 so that
02:00:54.340 students
02:00:54.760 can
02:00:55.100 figure
02:00:55.800 knock
02:00:55.820 yourself
02:00:56.120 out
02:00:56.380 man
02:00:56.700 do it
02:00:57.580 that's
02:00:58.460 like
02:00:59.820 the data
02:01:00.300 for the
02:01:00.840 future
02:01:01.100 authoring
02:01:01.460 program
02:01:01.760 is quite
02:01:02.160 clear
02:01:02.440 if students
02:01:03.000 even
02:01:03.360 do it
02:01:03.920 for an
02:01:04.200 hour
02:01:04.480 before
02:01:05.520 they
02:01:05.740 go to
02:01:06.020 university
02:01:06.380 they have
02:01:06.900 about a
02:01:07.540 30%
02:01:07.980 less
02:01:08.320 chance
02:01:08.680 of
02:01:08.880 dropping
02:01:09.220 out
02:01:09.420 in the
02:01:09.600 first
02:01:09.780 semester
02:01:10.180 so
02:01:11.240 you know
02:01:11.980 and it
02:01:12.400 would
02:01:12.520 really
02:01:12.700 be nice
02:01:13.220 to see
02:01:13.600 some
02:01:13.880 student
02:01:14.160 organizations
02:01:14.580 that
02:01:15.060 were
02:01:15.260 seriously
02:01:16.300 devoted
02:01:16.920 to
02:01:17.260 facilitating
02:01:17.880 student
02:01:18.340 success
02:01:18.800 you might
02:01:19.440 think
02:01:19.640 that's
02:01:19.920 what
02:01:20.040 student
02:01:20.300 organizations
02:01:20.940 should
02:01:21.340 do
02:01:21.740 in
02:01:22.260 fact
02:01:22.580 well
02:01:23.200 it
02:01:23.380 seems
02:01:23.660 rather
02:01:24.020 self-evident
02:01:24.760 when you
02:01:25.160 think
02:01:25.380 about
02:01:25.620 it
02:01:25.760 but
02:01:25.940 you know
02:01:26.480 so I
02:01:26.860 would
02:01:26.980 say
02:01:27.220 like
02:01:27.440 if
02:01:27.600 you're
02:01:27.760 oriented
02:01:28.120 in that
02:01:28.480 direction
02:01:28.940 get
02:01:29.860 at her
02:01:30.260 so
02:01:31.300 it's
02:01:32.000 a fine
02:01:32.400 plan
02:01:32.780 and it's
02:01:33.140 I like
02:01:33.740 the
02:01:34.080 emphasis
02:01:34.540 of it
02:01:34.920 because
02:01:35.200 you're
02:01:35.460 directing
02:01:36.020 yourself
02:01:36.540 towards
02:01:37.020 the
02:01:37.500 facilitation
02:01:38.240 of
02:01:38.440 individual
02:01:38.900 accomplishment
02:01:39.480 and
02:01:39.840 you're
02:01:40.460 at least
02:01:40.840 going
02:01:41.140 to do
02:01:41.460 very
02:01:41.760 little
02:01:42.020 harm
02:01:42.420 that
02:01:42.760 way
02:01:43.040 and
02:01:43.740 that's
02:01:43.980 a
02:01:44.080 really
02:01:44.220 good
02:01:44.420 start
02:01:44.820 man
02:01:45.100 you know
02:01:45.400 that's
02:01:45.840 that
02:01:46.080 because
02:01:47.040 that's
02:01:47.440 that's
02:01:47.680 what
02:01:47.820 you
02:01:47.980 should
02:01:48.140 think
02:01:48.400 about
02:01:48.600 when
02:01:48.800 you're
02:01:49.060 setting
02:01:49.640 out
02:01:49.840 to
02:01:49.980 make
02:01:50.180 things
02:01:50.460 better
02:01:50.760 the
02:01:51.180 first
02:01:51.380 thing
02:01:51.580 you
02:01:51.720 should
02:01:51.880 think
02:01:52.140 is
02:01:52.360 I'm
02:01:53.100 not
02:01:53.280 so
02:01:53.480 sure
02:01:53.680 I
02:01:53.820 know
02:01:53.940 what
02:01:54.080 I'm
02:01:54.240 doing
02:01:54.520 so
02:01:55.220 why
02:01:55.420 don't
02:01:55.560 I
02:01:55.700 first
02:01:56.060 attempt
02:01:56.780 to do
02:01:57.520 the
02:01:57.720 least
02:01:58.020 amount
02:01:58.360 of
02:01:58.540 harm
02:01:58.840 possible
02:01:59.420 and
02:02:00.180 by
02:02:00.360 concentrating
02:02:00.920 on
02:02:01.160 helping
02:02:01.440 someone
02:02:01.760 develop
02:02:02.160 their
02:02:02.380 own
02:02:02.620 plan
02:02:03.100 and
02:02:03.360 implement
02:02:04.580 that
02:02:04.980 into
02:02:05.160 the
02:02:05.340 future
02:02:05.700 and
02:02:05.980 encouraging
02:02:06.820 them
02:02:07.080 with
02:02:07.240 regards
02:02:07.580 to
02:02:07.760 whatever
02:02:08.320 success
02:02:08.900 they
02:02:09.160 would
02:02:09.360 like
02:02:09.620 define
02:02:10.100 their
02:02:10.420 way
02:02:10.800 there's
02:02:11.460 a
02:02:11.560 pretty
02:02:11.700 low
02:02:11.940 probability
02:02:12.380 that
02:02:12.800 you're
02:02:13.000 going
02:02:13.180 to
02:02:13.620 act
02:02:13.980 the
02:02:14.200 tyrant
02:02:15.080 and
02:02:15.320 play
02:02:16.380 a
02:02:16.600 detrimental
02:02:16.940 role
02:02:17.460 so
02:02:18.000 good luck
02:02:19.540 maybe we can
02:02:20.660 communicate
02:02:21.020 thank you
02:02:21.420 thank you
02:02:21.980 yes
02:02:22.260 I'm going to send you an email
02:02:23.240 thank you very much
02:02:24.120 hi Dr. Peterson
02:02:28.100 this is the
02:02:29.380 first of these lectures
02:02:30.580 that I've been here to listen to
02:02:32.340 but I've listened to all of them on YouTube so far
02:02:34.180 oh sorry
02:02:35.440 am I not close enough
02:02:36.260 not quite
02:02:36.820 that's good
02:02:37.420 okay
02:02:37.780 yeah
02:02:38.240 and
02:02:40.000 I've been trying to think up
02:02:41.880 this question since basically the first lecture
02:02:44.780 because
02:02:45.300 I'm a seminary student at an evangelical seminary
02:02:49.040 and
02:02:49.780 a lot of what you've been saying has really been resonating
02:02:52.680 and it's
02:02:53.260 and it's really been fascinating to listen to
02:02:55.560 and you know there's been many people who've been asking you questions
02:02:59.820 like what do you believe about the resurrection
02:03:01.880 do you believe in God
02:03:02.940 are you a Christian
02:03:03.680 and all these sorts of things
02:03:04.680 and you know I've been listening very closely to all your answers
02:03:07.060 and have groups of friends on Facebook
02:03:09.140 who are following very closely
02:03:10.860 saying oh you hear what Peterson said this time
02:03:12.860 maybe he's one of us finally
02:03:13.980 or something like that
02:03:14.940 but at the same time
02:03:18.460 other ways that you explain some of the stories
02:03:21.320 sound very close to what we call theological liberalism
02:03:24.740 you know in the 19th century
02:03:26.080 the idea that you know using historical critical methods
02:03:28.600 of reading and interpreting the Bible
02:03:30.500 and understanding Jesus more as a moral figure
02:03:33.180 than as a literal historical figure
02:03:35.040 whose atonement provides satisfaction for man
02:03:37.780 so I tried to figure out what the question was
02:03:41.360 because I could interpret what some of your answers were
02:03:43.680 so I'm going to put it in a more of a general way
02:03:45.900 where exactly do you see yourself differing
02:03:50.020 from traditional orthodox evangelical Christianity
02:03:53.440 and why would you differ there
02:03:56.080 given how much you seem to understand
02:03:59.060 the importance of the biblical stories
02:04:00.620 in western history
02:04:02.660 okay okay
02:04:04.040 well that's a good question
02:04:05.680 well
02:04:06.520 obviously I have to answer in a general way
02:04:10.880 I mean I think that one of the things
02:04:13.180 that makes me different
02:04:14.100 is that I take the idea
02:04:15.820 that things are 14 billion years old seriously
02:04:18.560 you know
02:04:19.600 and the idea of evolution seriously
02:04:22.300 I mean as does the Catholic Church by the way
02:04:25.140 and so
02:04:26.180 but I don't see that as an impediment
02:04:28.440 to the pursuit that I'm undertaking
02:04:30.780 now I don't know how to bridge that gap precisely
02:04:33.580 but I'm not that worried about it
02:04:36.020 I mean you can't bridge every gap
02:04:37.800 it's just not possible
02:04:38.760 it would require infinite knowledge
02:04:40.280 okay
02:04:41.320 and how so
02:04:41.900 that's one major
02:04:43.020 because I'm coming at this from a scientific
02:04:45.000 I really am coming at this from a scientific perspective
02:04:47.760 you know
02:04:48.240 like I try to make sure that everything that I talk about
02:04:50.820 is commensurate with current scientific knowledge
02:04:53.720 now current scientific knowledge
02:04:55.500 no doubt is erring in all sorts of ways
02:04:57.220 like I think our notion about
02:04:58.680 exactly how evolution progresses
02:05:00.480 is flawed in many many ways
02:05:02.440 and the recent discoveries in the field of epigenetics
02:05:05.540 which show that you can actually transmit acquired characteristics
02:05:08.600 you know
02:05:09.260 has really put a whole
02:05:10.300 real serious
02:05:11.760 stick in the spokes of the
02:05:14.280 evolutionary bicycle
02:05:15.500 let's say
02:05:16.120 but
02:05:16.920 but then
02:05:18.160 I also think the question is
02:05:20.460 mis-asked in some sense
02:05:22.620 because
02:05:22.900 I gave this lecture series a specific title
02:05:25.560 for a specific reason
02:05:26.700 and the lecture series is
02:05:28.260 the psychological significance of the biblical stories
02:05:31.440 now I'm not claiming that
02:05:33.400 my psychological analysis
02:05:35.380 exhausts the significance of the biblical stories
02:05:38.500 you know
02:05:39.420 they have
02:05:40.060 multitudes
02:05:41.620 let's say
02:05:42.260 layers of meaning
02:05:43.480 and some of those layers are metaphysical
02:05:45.740 and some of them are more specifically religious
02:05:47.520 and I'm trying
02:05:48.540 the best I can
02:05:49.640 not to wander into those domains
02:05:51.540 like I do
02:05:52.140 because it's impossible to keep yourself bounded
02:05:54.300 you know
02:05:55.220 when you're a discursive speaker
02:05:57.040 let's say
02:05:57.560 but I'm trying to
02:05:58.780 what I'm trying to do
02:06:00.160 is the sort of thing that Jung did
02:06:01.620 essentially
02:06:02.080 is to take a look at these old stories
02:06:03.660 and say
02:06:03.980 okay
02:06:04.240 well let's look at this
02:06:05.160 from the perspective of
02:06:06.360 the human psyche
02:06:07.600 and let's see
02:06:08.780 what the significance can be
02:06:10.920 and not to say
02:06:12.320 that's all the significance there is
02:06:14.660 who knows what significance there is
02:06:16.860 one thing I have learned
02:06:18.080 about the biblical stories
02:06:19.140 is that
02:06:19.580 no matter how deep you go into them
02:06:21.560 you are not at the bottom
02:06:22.680 and so that's been very very interesting to me
02:06:25.840 and God only knows
02:06:27.400 about the metaphysical
02:06:29.020 substructure of reality
02:06:30.660 because human beings certainly don't
02:06:32.420 so I don't
02:06:33.640 I don't
02:06:34.920 want to claim
02:06:35.820 that what I'm doing
02:06:36.760 is a religious interpretation
02:06:37.980 although you know
02:06:38.740 it drifts into that direction
02:06:40.320 I want to stay within the purview
02:06:42.860 of my expertise
02:06:44.100 such as it is
02:06:45.060 and to say
02:06:45.580 well
02:06:45.900 if you look at this psychologically
02:06:47.740 here's what you can extract
02:06:49.660 as
02:06:50.100 as
02:06:50.880 pragmatically
02:06:52.160 existentially
02:06:53.180 and clinically meaningful
02:06:54.480 and the rest of it
02:06:55.980 well
02:06:56.720 the rest of it
02:06:57.460 has to be left in abeyance
02:06:58.820 and
02:06:59.060 because
02:07:00.040 I don't have the
02:07:01.580 capacity
02:07:03.060 to
02:07:03.520 investigate claims
02:07:05.520 that go beyond that
02:07:06.480 that does not mean
02:07:08.240 that I'm saying
02:07:08.980 that
02:07:09.260 what I'm doing
02:07:10.360 is reducing
02:07:11.320 these stories
02:07:12.440 to their psychological significance
02:07:14.020 even though the psyche
02:07:15.000 is a grand thing
02:07:16.020 I'm not trying to do that
02:07:17.500 it's not reductionistic
02:07:18.900 it's a take on it
02:07:20.620 so
02:07:21.560 people can make up
02:07:22.980 their own minds
02:07:23.580 metaphysically
02:07:24.280 and they also have to make up
02:07:25.660 their own minds
02:07:26.140 about how they're going to act
02:07:27.620 which is really the crucial issue
02:07:29.140 as far as I'm concerned
02:07:30.100 so
02:07:31.280 thank you very much
02:07:32.940 you bet
02:07:33.240 applause
02:07:34.600 hi
02:07:40.600 hi
02:07:41.100 I had a question
02:07:42.020 with respect to
02:07:42.960 data that you presented
02:07:44.060 I believe two weeks ago
02:07:45.400 sorry
02:07:45.940 a question with respect to
02:07:47.040 to data that you presented
02:07:48.080 I believe two lectures ago
02:07:49.300 regarding
02:07:50.040 the use of
02:07:51.740 psilocybin
02:07:52.660 in treatment of mental illness
02:07:54.380 yes
02:07:54.940 so subsequently
02:07:56.080 I looked up
02:07:56.740 some of the
02:07:57.380 recently published
02:07:58.500 literature
02:07:59.080 and one of the studies
02:08:00.200 I found
02:08:00.760 extremely striking
02:08:02.260 was one that was published
02:08:03.360 less than a year ago
02:08:04.300 in the Lancet
02:08:05.520 which is a
02:08:06.000 very high impact
02:08:07.140 well respected journal
02:08:08.640 and what they looked at
02:08:10.380 was efficacy
02:08:11.480 in patients
02:08:12.600 with
02:08:13.160 severe
02:08:14.920 treatment resistant
02:08:15.800 depression
02:08:16.320 and what they found
02:08:17.840 is that
02:08:18.300 in 11 out of 12
02:08:19.680 of the patients
02:08:20.420 they showed
02:08:22.160 significant
02:08:23.160 remittance
02:08:23.980 following just a
02:08:25.360 single dose
02:08:26.120 of the substance
02:08:27.060 up to
02:08:28.080 three months
02:08:28.740 following
02:08:29.240 the single dose
02:08:30.340 without additional
02:08:31.200 dosing
02:08:31.720 so this not only
02:08:33.700 substantiates
02:08:34.880 I suppose
02:08:35.460 my own experiences
02:08:36.420 but
02:08:37.000 when you read
02:08:38.400 some of the
02:08:38.740 commentary
02:08:39.160 or
02:08:40.040 review articles
02:08:41.820 surrounding
02:08:42.200 these types of
02:08:43.200 topics
02:08:43.540 not with
02:08:43.960 respects to
02:08:44.840 depression
02:08:45.680 but
02:08:46.240 things like
02:08:47.240 post-traumatic stress
02:08:48.420 disorder
02:08:49.160 addiction
02:08:50.360 they'll unequivocally
02:08:52.080 state that
02:08:52.960 these types of
02:08:53.820 results
02:08:54.200 are completely
02:08:55.240 unprecedented
02:08:56.580 in the realm
02:08:58.080 of psychiatric
02:08:58.840 medicine
02:08:59.460 so I was wondering
02:09:00.900 if you could comment
02:09:01.500 as to whether or not
02:09:02.500 that type of
02:09:03.860 rhetoric is
02:09:04.660 overblown
02:09:05.400 and if not
02:09:06.900 do you see these
02:09:08.400 being more
02:09:08.860 mainstream
02:09:09.240 in the near future
02:09:10.000 or suspect
02:09:10.980 they'll
02:09:11.460 fall victim
02:09:13.040 to something
02:09:13.480 along the lines
02:09:13.940 of regulatory
02:09:14.480 capture
02:09:15.080 no I don't
02:09:15.880 well
02:09:16.440 I don't think
02:09:17.960 they're overstatements
02:09:18.840 and I know
02:09:19.620 some of the people
02:09:20.260 who are engaged
02:09:20.860 in this research
02:09:21.500 and they're actually
02:09:22.140 very conservative
02:09:22.860 people
02:09:23.340 like they're brave
02:09:24.200 people
02:09:24.640 but I mean
02:09:25.700 conservative in the
02:09:26.480 best sense
02:09:27.060 you know
02:09:27.340 they're not
02:09:27.740 Timothy Leary
02:09:28.840 and I'm not
02:09:29.740 trying to put down
02:09:30.460 Timothy Leary
02:09:31.120 I'm really not
02:09:31.860 but you know
02:09:33.200 some caution
02:09:34.900 would have been
02:09:35.360 a good thing
02:09:36.080 although
02:09:37.220 you know
02:09:38.120 when something like
02:09:39.880 when the psychedelics
02:09:41.620 burst onto the scene
02:09:42.640 no one had any idea
02:09:43.600 what to do with them
02:09:44.380 right so
02:09:44.880 and we still really don't
02:09:46.440 but the new research
02:09:47.620 is being conducted
02:09:48.300 very very carefully
02:09:49.240 but it is really
02:09:50.400 remarkable
02:09:50.920 that those
02:09:51.680 epithets are used
02:09:53.020 or those
02:09:53.500 terms are used
02:09:54.720 to describe the results
02:09:55.760 because those are
02:09:56.400 the Lancet for example
02:09:57.540 is one of the top
02:09:58.220 end medical journals
02:09:59.020 you don't see
02:10:00.980 grand claims
02:10:02.080 in the Lancet
02:10:02.880 right
02:10:03.140 scientists don't
02:10:03.980 write that way
02:10:04.720 they're trained
02:10:06.240 from the very beginning
02:10:07.400 to downplay
02:10:08.320 their results
02:10:09.020 but they're quite
02:10:10.080 struck by the fact
02:10:11.040 that these effects
02:10:12.020 occur with single doses
02:10:13.200 now I think
02:10:15.240 that what we don't
02:10:16.060 know about psychedelics
02:10:17.460 could fill many
02:10:18.360 many many
02:10:19.000 thick volumes
02:10:19.900 and they're
02:10:21.040 absolutely mysterious
02:10:22.580 in their function
02:10:23.960 purpose
02:10:24.960 effect
02:10:25.900 consequence
02:10:26.980 all of that
02:10:27.880 and I've always
02:10:29.000 thought that it was
02:10:29.720 really appalling
02:10:31.120 that we stopped
02:10:31.820 investigating them
02:10:32.580 back in the 1960s
02:10:33.660 although it's not
02:10:34.200 been that long
02:10:34.820 you know
02:10:35.080 20 years
02:10:36.360 historically speaking
02:10:37.340 it's really nothing
02:10:38.460 but
02:10:39.420 and no I don't
02:10:41.740 think that they'll
02:10:42.280 be
02:10:42.500 that the research
02:10:43.460 will be stopped
02:10:43.960 by regulatory capture
02:10:45.660 because
02:10:46.240 the people who are
02:10:47.340 doing it now
02:10:48.060 I think learned
02:10:48.940 their lesson
02:10:49.440 from what happened
02:10:50.080 in the 60s
02:10:50.780 and are doing it
02:10:51.660 pretty damn
02:10:52.560 carefully
02:10:53.080 so we can hope
02:10:54.720 that more results
02:10:55.660 like this are
02:10:56.460 produced
02:10:57.220 and that they're
02:10:57.900 replicable
02:10:58.700 and that perhaps
02:10:59.960 they'll prove
02:11:01.560 helpful
02:11:02.000 with any luck
02:11:03.440 yep
02:11:04.740 hi Dr. Peterson
02:11:12.500 I've found this
02:11:13.460 lecture series
02:11:14.320 really really
02:11:14.920 enthralling
02:11:15.600 and it
02:11:16.240 it occurs
02:11:17.320 why
02:11:17.540 no it's such a strange thing to say
02:11:20.620 if I try to explain that
02:11:21.080 I want time for the question
02:11:22.100 yeah well that's okay
02:11:23.180 I'll let you get to the question
02:11:24.620 but I'm curious
02:11:25.680 like
02:11:26.000 why do you think that is
02:11:28.840 because it's a strange thing
02:11:30.200 to have happen
02:11:30.940 like
02:11:31.240 it's a lecture
02:11:32.680 on the bible
02:11:33.880 for God's sake
02:11:34.800 you know
02:11:35.080 it's like
02:11:35.480 it's not something
02:11:36.680 you'd go to a
02:11:37.520 venture capitalist
02:11:38.540 with a business plan for
02:11:39.920 so like
02:11:40.920 what is it about it
02:11:42.540 do you think
02:11:42.900 that's been
02:11:43.380 that's had that effect
02:11:44.960 on you
02:11:45.800 ha
02:11:47.460 I asked you a question
02:11:48.560 instead
02:11:49.080 look
02:11:53.260 I don't want to
02:11:54.080 I don't want to put you
02:11:54.860 on the spot
02:11:55.300 if you want to just
02:11:55.940 move to your question
02:11:56.740 that's fine
02:11:57.240 but if you have an answer
02:11:58.180 to that
02:11:58.500 I would be very interested
02:11:59.520 in knowing what it is
02:12:00.620 well
02:12:03.080 it's
02:12:05.260 it's a thrill
02:12:06.380 to
02:12:08.120 encounter
02:12:09.260 a
02:12:10.840 kind of
02:12:11.900 means to a
02:12:13.300 metaphysical system
02:12:14.340 that's so
02:12:14.960 persuasive
02:12:15.940 and potent
02:12:16.720 and I hadn't
02:12:18.080 really experienced
02:12:19.080 that a whole lot
02:12:20.180 in my life
02:12:20.740 that's what
02:12:22.180 universities are
02:12:22.940 supposed to do
02:12:23.580 for people
02:12:24.100 that's what
02:12:25.500 universities are
02:12:26.280 supposed to do
02:12:26.880 for people
02:12:27.360 they're not
02:12:28.020 supposed to
02:12:28.520 take people
02:12:29.080 who are barely
02:12:29.620 hanging together
02:12:30.360 and break them
02:12:31.480 and make them
02:12:32.100 weak
02:12:32.420 they're supposed
02:12:33.420 to equate them
02:12:34.420 with the heroic
02:12:35.760 the heroic
02:12:37.620 substructure
02:12:38.540 of the human psyche
02:12:39.680 so that they can
02:12:40.620 move out into
02:12:41.400 the world
02:12:41.800 and thrive
02:12:42.580 and it's an
02:12:43.720 absolute crime
02:12:44.780 that that isn't
02:12:45.640 what's happening
02:12:46.280 so hooray for
02:12:47.680 that man
02:12:48.300 it occurred to me
02:12:56.540 that the kind
02:12:57.060 of tradition
02:12:57.580 and genre
02:12:58.780 that you are
02:12:59.540 working in
02:13:00.960 here
02:13:01.480 is that
02:13:03.000 of the sermon
02:13:03.700 now are you
02:13:05.040 comfortable with
02:13:05.560 that categorization
02:13:06.460 and why
02:13:07.360 so far
02:13:07.720 we'll see where
02:13:09.100 you go with it
02:13:10.040 well that's
02:13:11.700 that's the essence
02:13:12.340 of my question
02:13:12.840 are these sermons
02:13:14.360 and might
02:13:15.640 one then
02:13:17.100 call you a preacher
02:13:17.960 I don't know
02:13:18.780 sorry what was
02:13:19.880 the last part
02:13:20.340 might one
02:13:20.820 call you a preacher
02:13:21.740 well you could
02:13:23.000 certainly call me
02:13:23.700 one
02:13:23.980 and you know
02:13:24.860 I think that
02:13:28.440 there's a certain
02:13:29.660 overlap
02:13:30.300 and the overlap
02:13:31.040 but this has been
02:13:32.160 characteristic of
02:13:32.920 my approach to
02:13:33.480 education right
02:13:34.320 from the beginning
02:13:34.920 because I have
02:13:35.580 some rules
02:13:36.020 about what I
02:13:36.560 lecture
02:13:36.880 what about
02:13:38.680 the topics
02:13:39.300 that I lecture
02:13:39.880 about
02:13:40.140 and the way
02:13:40.600 that I deal
02:13:41.180 with it
02:13:41.460 so the first
02:13:42.660 rule is
02:13:43.080 I don't want
02:13:43.640 to tell you
02:13:44.000 anything that
02:13:44.440 isn't useful
02:13:45.040 I'm a pragmatist
02:13:47.240 you know
02:13:47.480 like I'm an
02:13:47.940 American pragmatist
02:13:48.900 that's part of
02:13:49.400 my philosophical
02:13:50.160 grounding
02:13:50.820 and I believe
02:13:52.300 that knowledge
02:13:52.780 is tool-like
02:13:53.920 and that the
02:13:55.060 proper thing
02:13:55.640 to do
02:13:56.000 is to
02:13:56.360 equip people
02:13:58.240 with the tools
02:13:59.000 to move
02:13:59.680 effectively
02:14:00.180 in the world
02:14:00.740 and so
02:14:01.420 I want to
02:14:02.160 make sure
02:14:02.520 that if I
02:14:03.260 offer a
02:14:04.740 story
02:14:05.340 or a fact
02:14:06.060 for that matter
02:14:06.740 I also say
02:14:07.460 well here
02:14:07.880 here's why
02:14:08.680 you need to
02:14:09.120 know this fact
02:14:09.820 it will actually
02:14:10.660 improve your
02:14:11.460 life
02:14:11.840 or it'll stop
02:14:12.940 you from
02:14:13.240 wandering into
02:14:13.820 a pit
02:14:14.180 which is
02:14:14.540 approximately
02:14:14.980 the same
02:14:15.440 thing
02:14:15.680 and then
02:14:16.540 it will also
02:14:17.480 knowing this
02:14:18.400 will also
02:14:18.820 make you
02:14:19.180 a more
02:14:19.420 effective actor
02:14:20.260 in the
02:14:20.580 social world
02:14:21.260 and that
02:14:21.780 will improve
02:14:22.300 the social
02:14:22.880 world
02:14:23.300 right
02:14:23.540 and hopefully
02:14:23.960 that will
02:14:24.340 improve
02:14:24.680 the environmental
02:14:25.500 world
02:14:25.920 etc
02:14:26.260 etc
02:14:26.640 and so
02:14:27.560 I would
02:14:27.880 say
02:14:28.160 to the degree
02:14:29.480 that those
02:14:30.220 who produce
02:14:30.840 sermons
02:14:31.260 are concerned
02:14:32.040 with producing
02:14:32.760 alterations
02:14:33.440 in behavior
02:14:34.160 which are
02:14:34.820 moral alterations
02:14:35.960 say
02:14:36.460 then I share
02:14:37.780 the same
02:14:38.220 territory
02:14:38.640 with them
02:14:39.080 but I
02:14:39.680 wouldn't say
02:14:40.160 that that's
02:14:40.600 something that
02:14:41.060 should be
02:14:41.420 only relegated
02:14:42.380 to the domain
02:14:43.020 of the sermon
02:14:43.560 because I
02:14:44.460 believe that
02:14:44.960 it is the
02:14:45.440 job of the
02:14:46.060 universities
02:14:46.500 for example
02:14:47.060 especially in
02:14:48.120 the damned
02:14:48.680 humanities
02:14:49.600 to ennoble
02:14:51.460 people
02:14:51.940 and to
02:14:52.400 enable them
02:14:53.400 to adopt
02:14:54.120 the mantle
02:14:54.720 of proper
02:14:55.440 citizenship
02:14:56.160 and that
02:14:57.180 we've forgotten
02:14:57.980 that
02:14:58.380 we've forgotten
02:14:59.340 that
02:14:59.620 or we're
02:15:00.160 avoiding it
02:15:00.900 or we're
02:15:01.300 refusing it
02:15:02.180 or something
02:15:02.600 like that
02:15:03.240 you know
02:15:04.080 and I think
02:15:04.780 we're using
02:15:05.280 the death
02:15:05.780 of God
02:15:06.220 as an excuse
02:15:06.960 so I think
02:15:09.100 that to the
02:15:09.720 degree that
02:15:10.200 I'm a preacher
02:15:11.000 I'm making
02:15:11.640 an error
02:15:12.260 you know
02:15:12.800 and also to
02:15:13.560 the degree
02:15:13.920 that I'm
02:15:14.520 politicized
02:15:15.600 I'm making
02:15:16.040 an error
02:15:16.420 I'm wandering
02:15:17.560 out of my
02:15:18.060 proper territory
02:15:18.780 when that's
02:15:19.480 the domain
02:15:19.920 that I'm in
02:15:20.540 but when I'm
02:15:21.560 attempting to
02:15:22.160 assemble
02:15:22.700 multiple layers
02:15:24.240 of facts
02:15:25.140 towards a
02:15:26.280 practical end
02:15:27.300 which is what
02:15:28.200 I'm trying to
02:15:28.720 do
02:15:28.880 and the end
02:15:29.320 is the
02:15:29.760 ennoblement
02:15:30.660 of the individual
02:15:31.500 right
02:15:31.820 that's my goal
02:15:32.720 then I'm in
02:15:34.300 my proper
02:15:34.800 domain
02:15:35.220 I'm going
02:15:35.800 to make
02:15:36.120 mistakes
02:15:36.660 you know
02:15:36.900 I'm going
02:15:37.140 to wander
02:15:37.480 out of my
02:15:38.000 territory
02:15:38.400 and I try
02:15:39.280 not to do
02:15:39.780 that
02:15:40.020 but you know
02:15:41.000 it's
02:15:41.460 well it's part
02:15:42.680 of being a
02:15:43.100 fool
02:15:43.340 you're going
02:15:43.800 to make
02:15:44.040 mistakes
02:15:44.560 so
02:15:45.160 yeah
02:15:46.160 thanks very
02:15:46.680 much
02:15:47.040 no problem
02:15:47.800 hi doc
02:15:54.220 thanks for
02:15:55.220 continuing to
02:15:55.840 do all the
02:15:56.340 cool stuff
02:15:56.920 that makes
02:15:57.280 everyone love
02:15:57.820 you
02:15:58.000 it's great
02:15:58.880 not everyone
02:15:59.880 well yeah
02:16:00.780 yeah yeah
02:16:01.260 that's a
02:16:01.660 generalization
02:16:02.260 there's lots
02:16:03.300 of people
02:16:03.680 that seem
02:16:04.100 not to
02:16:04.500 love me
02:16:05.000 yeah
02:16:05.460 and I
02:16:06.260 can't
02:16:06.740 blame them
02:16:07.240 really
02:16:07.620 anyway
02:16:09.220 yeah I'm
02:16:09.600 going to
02:16:09.720 lead into
02:16:10.000 a question
02:16:10.560 here
02:16:10.880 so in
02:16:11.360 your book
02:16:12.020 maps
02:16:12.360 of
02:16:12.540 the book
02:16:14.440 maps
02:16:14.780 of
02:16:14.960 meaning
02:16:15.380 you got
02:16:17.360 that quote
02:16:17.700 from Dostoevsky
02:16:19.140 about how
02:16:19.960 humankind
02:16:21.000 mankind
02:16:21.700 if you give
02:16:23.080 them all the
02:16:23.460 cakes in the
02:16:23.940 world
02:16:24.300 oh my god
02:16:25.860 yeah oh my god
02:16:27.600 is right man
02:16:28.220 that's one
02:16:28.700 killer quote
02:16:29.360 that's from
02:16:30.360 notes from
02:16:30.800 the underground
02:16:31.320 eh
02:16:31.600 everyone should
02:16:32.480 read that
02:16:33.040 because everyone's
02:16:33.760 underground
02:16:34.260 and it's a
02:16:35.340 great it's a
02:16:35.940 great little
02:16:36.540 journey through
02:16:37.140 that
02:16:37.480 yeah so it's
02:16:39.360 basically yeah if
02:16:39.920 you give if you
02:16:40.920 have the perfect
02:16:41.480 utopia I often
02:16:42.960 use basically if
02:16:44.240 you have the
02:16:44.660 most perfect
02:16:45.980 utopia
02:16:46.960 humans will find
02:16:49.100 a way to screw
02:16:49.840 it up and
02:16:50.360 they'll go out of
02:16:51.020 the way to do
02:16:51.440 it yeah because
02:16:52.360 we like we like
02:16:53.440 chaos and the
02:16:54.040 unknown you've
02:16:54.620 talked about this
02:16:55.460 yeah well that's
02:16:56.160 the thing is is
02:16:56.820 that we're heroic
02:16:57.640 adventurers right
02:16:58.700 we're not we're not
02:17:00.240 sybarites laying on
02:17:01.480 a beach although
02:17:02.160 when you get the
02:17:02.780 opportunity to do
02:17:03.680 that like make sure
02:17:04.560 you take it but
02:17:05.260 that's that's not
02:17:06.140 what that's not
02:17:06.900 that's not the
02:17:07.680 proper calling of
02:17:08.640 the human soul
02:17:09.400 right we're out
02:17:10.560 there to conquer
02:17:11.180 chaos and the
02:17:11.940 unknown and it's
02:17:13.220 in that we find
02:17:13.880 meaning and that's
02:17:14.800 better than the
02:17:15.380 utopia that's what
02:17:16.300 dostoevsky you know
02:17:17.660 god bless his soul
02:17:18.860 dostoevsky had that
02:17:20.280 he was such a genius
02:17:21.620 he had everything
02:17:22.440 that was wrong with
02:17:23.320 communism figured
02:17:24.400 out even before
02:17:25.660 it started amazing
02:17:27.600 really like if you
02:17:29.140 read the possessed
02:17:30.160 or the devils
02:17:31.160 which i would
02:17:31.680 highly recommend
02:17:32.360 although it's a
02:17:32.940 hard book to get
02:17:33.560 into it takes
02:17:34.160 about a hundred
02:17:34.640 pages to really
02:17:35.400 get get get
02:17:36.580 get moving
02:17:37.960 but dostoevsky
02:17:39.480 talks his main
02:17:40.720 character in that
02:17:41.440 novel is a person
02:17:42.780 who's again a very
02:17:44.540 powerful person
02:17:45.440 who's completely
02:17:46.100 possessed by what's
02:17:47.200 essentially the
02:17:47.800 communist ideology
02:17:48.700 and he's very
02:17:49.440 effective at moving
02:17:50.340 it forward and
02:17:51.440 dostoevsky lays out
02:17:52.600 brilliantly exactly
02:17:53.820 the catastrophic
02:17:54.520 consequences of that
02:17:55.560 both personally and
02:17:56.400 socially and he did
02:17:57.400 this like 30 years
02:17:58.340 before the russian
02:17:59.040 revolution it's just
02:18:00.160 it's uncanny i don't
02:18:02.140 know where the hell
02:18:02.940 that guy was from
02:18:03.960 must have been his
02:18:04.980 epilepsy you know so
02:18:06.840 yeah i'm glad i got
02:18:07.980 you all excited i'm
02:18:08.760 just gonna keep going
02:18:09.440 here basically i used
02:18:12.060 to use that um you
02:18:13.400 know to kind of
02:18:13.980 flate that a lot of
02:18:14.900 the comes from the
02:18:15.460 left wing this utopia
02:18:16.520 we're going towards
02:18:17.260 with the universal
02:18:19.040 income and there's
02:18:20.160 gonna be ai and
02:18:20.880 suddenly the whole
02:18:21.380 population is gonna
02:18:22.000 become insanely creative
02:18:23.400 and with no incentive
02:18:24.760 but it's not the
02:18:26.120 utopia is not there
02:18:27.420 it's not like this
02:18:28.040 thing that hasn't
02:18:28.660 happened yet we're in
02:18:29.580 it we're in it this
02:18:31.280 is the best thing ever
02:18:32.280 in like all of
02:18:33.140 humanity the western
02:18:34.440 civilization like oh
02:18:35.740 my god in a material
02:18:37.080 sense i mean oh it
02:18:39.580 just toilet paper
02:18:40.620 toilet paper just
02:18:41.460 happened anyway uh
02:18:43.420 that's so what i'm
02:18:45.060 trying to say is
02:18:46.180 seriously
02:18:46.940 so we have this
02:18:53.000 beautiful thing and
02:18:53.780 people are trying to
02:18:55.880 take it down at all
02:18:56.620 costs and and now we
02:18:58.120 go into the dark
02:18:58.760 phase of my into my
02:19:00.020 question here which is
02:19:01.040 and it actually goes
02:19:01.940 into charlottesville had
02:19:05.560 you know with that with
02:19:07.760 that with the with the
02:19:08.300 initial purpose of
02:19:09.940 protecting the statue was
02:19:13.020 a good thing i don't i'm
02:19:14.380 not i'm not i don't know
02:19:15.520 about confederacy except
02:19:16.940 for the big thing but
02:19:18.560 honestly it's uh it's a
02:19:20.860 slippery slippery slope
02:19:22.100 and the confused souls
02:19:24.100 who and the bad like
02:19:25.480 just darkened souls for
02:19:27.500 sure not good they
02:19:29.760 screwed it up big time
02:19:30.960 because the purpose
02:19:32.260 behind it is so
02:19:33.120 important because it's
02:19:34.640 going to be what
02:19:35.820 founding fathers next
02:19:36.840 anyone who ever
02:19:37.620 contributed anything to
02:19:38.940 western civilization as
02:19:39.980 we know it is already
02:19:41.060 being it's already
02:19:41.660 being done james madison
02:19:42.580 high school in the
02:19:44.500 states it's getting
02:19:45.080 renamed because some
02:19:46.540 girls some random one
02:19:47.740 student felt unsafe and
02:19:49.740 so yeah this is a serious
02:19:51.660 issue and i want to
02:19:52.320 like i feel like really
02:19:54.620 up against the wall now
02:19:55.860 because now they found
02:19:56.980 their nazis man the
02:19:58.180 nazis are flooding the
02:19:59.480 streets now so how do
02:20:01.080 we how do we possibly you
02:20:02.980 know kind of save our
02:20:04.340 cakes
02:20:04.720 you had to bring it up
02:20:15.420 didn't you
02:20:15.800 well having the right
02:20:22.240 degenerate into identity
02:20:23.720 politics does not seem to
02:20:25.040 be a positive solution so
02:20:26.860 one of the things i would
02:20:27.760 say is that like i
02:20:29.180 understand why the
02:20:31.600 identity politics that
02:20:32.760 has been practiced so
02:20:33.740 assiduously and so
02:20:34.920 devastatingly by the left
02:20:36.800 has been co-opted by the
02:20:39.220 right i understand that
02:20:40.760 but then here's what i
02:20:42.340 would say to the people
02:20:43.220 on the right who are
02:20:44.460 playing that game
02:20:45.260 if you play the game of
02:20:48.340 your enemies and you win
02:20:49.940 you win their game
02:20:51.820 you don't win
02:20:53.480 that's not victory
02:20:54.780 you just become the most
02:20:56.800 successful exponent of
02:20:58.040 their pathology
02:20:58.940 how is that a good thing
02:21:01.060 it's a bad thing
02:21:02.520 so what does that leave
02:21:05.240 people as all as an
02:21:06.580 alternative
02:21:07.020 well
02:21:08.040 i don't think that
02:21:10.640 the caucasians let's say
02:21:13.020 should revert to being
02:21:14.540 white
02:21:14.980 i think that's a bad
02:21:17.120 idea
02:21:17.560 it's a dangerous idea
02:21:19.320 and it's coming fast
02:21:21.040 and i don't like to see
02:21:22.740 that
02:21:23.080 i think the whole group
02:21:26.020 identity thing is
02:21:27.340 seriously pathological
02:21:29.220 i think we've made big
02:21:30.660 mistakes in canada
02:21:31.700 i understand why at
02:21:33.620 least to some degree in
02:21:34.560 that respect
02:21:35.520 and that large mistakes
02:21:37.180 are being made all over
02:21:38.080 the western world
02:21:38.840 where we're making
02:21:39.940 your group identity
02:21:41.540 the most important thing
02:21:43.580 about you
02:21:44.240 i think that's
02:21:45.860 reprehensible
02:21:46.780 i think it's
02:21:48.520 devastating
02:21:49.300 i think it's
02:21:50.480 genocidal in its
02:21:51.600 ultimate expression
02:21:52.400 i think it will bring
02:21:53.800 down our civilization
02:21:54.880 if we pursue it
02:21:56.140 we shouldn't be playing
02:21:58.740 that game
02:21:59.380 so what's the alternative
02:22:01.520 you know i've thought
02:22:02.700 for a long time
02:22:03.540 about a political career
02:22:04.780 really forever
02:22:06.000 since i was like 12
02:22:07.400 really for a long time
02:22:09.040 and i've always decided
02:22:10.920 against it
02:22:11.580 because it seemed to me
02:22:12.780 that the proper
02:22:13.640 level of analysis
02:22:15.340 with regards to the
02:22:16.760 solution of the problem
02:22:18.060 that we're facing
02:22:18.780 isn't political
02:22:19.580 and that's why i think
02:22:20.640 it's a mistake when
02:22:21.500 what i'm doing
02:22:22.420 gets politicized
02:22:23.700 either by me or others
02:22:24.720 i think that
02:22:26.140 the way that you
02:22:27.340 deal with this
02:22:27.940 is to put yourself
02:22:29.140 together
02:22:29.720 i really believe that
02:22:31.540 is that
02:22:31.920 because i think that
02:22:32.920 individual people
02:22:33.720 are far more powerful
02:22:34.700 they're certainly
02:22:35.180 far more evil
02:22:35.940 than they're willing
02:22:36.780 to consider
02:22:37.320 but that's also a sign
02:22:38.700 of their unbelievable
02:22:39.560 power
02:22:40.200 so
02:22:41.580 i think that what you
02:22:43.160 do is you
02:22:43.840 aim high
02:22:45.540 and put yourself
02:22:46.820 together
02:22:47.260 and stay the hell
02:22:48.440 away from the
02:22:49.360 ideologues
02:22:50.100 because they're hiding
02:22:51.740 they're hiding
02:22:52.640 behind a wall
02:22:53.400 they're not able
02:22:54.280 to come out
02:22:54.780 and fight
02:22:55.200 on their own
02:22:55.700 behalf
02:22:56.140 and so
02:22:57.720 the way forward
02:22:58.840 through the
02:22:59.220 ideological mess
02:23:00.220 and that's the
02:23:00.960 lesson of western
02:23:01.620 culture
02:23:02.020 is to place
02:23:03.340 the individual
02:23:04.000 at the place
02:23:05.120 of paramount
02:23:05.760 importance
02:23:06.240 and to make
02:23:07.020 the group
02:23:07.400 identity
02:23:07.920 emerge only
02:23:09.940 when necessary
02:23:10.760 and secondarily
02:23:12.200 if ever
02:23:13.220 and so
02:23:14.700 you can do that
02:23:15.440 you can do that
02:23:16.060 now
02:23:16.440 you can do that
02:23:17.040 tomorrow
02:23:17.440 like you can
02:23:18.060 put your life
02:23:18.540 together
02:23:18.860 and again
02:23:19.340 as i mentioned
02:23:20.180 to the other
02:23:20.960 young man
02:23:21.420 who asked the
02:23:21.940 question is
02:23:22.500 you won't hurt
02:23:23.720 anyone doing
02:23:24.360 that
02:23:24.660 right
02:23:25.460 you pick up
02:23:26.260 your goddamn
02:23:26.780 responsibility
02:23:27.580 sort yourself out
02:23:29.160 fix up your
02:23:29.960 family
02:23:30.420 right
02:23:31.040 and then you
02:23:31.900 can be a force
02:23:32.540 for good
02:23:32.900 in the culture
02:23:33.420 and if enough
02:23:34.180 people do that
02:23:34.840 the ideological
02:23:35.540 mess will just
02:23:36.520 evaporate
02:23:37.440 it'll just
02:23:37.940 disappear
02:23:38.380 i think that's
02:23:39.320 the way you
02:23:39.720 show people
02:23:40.240 the right path
02:23:40.900 forward too
02:23:41.660 is that you
02:23:42.780 say well look
02:23:43.440 we would like
02:23:44.680 it so much
02:23:45.980 if you could
02:23:46.380 thrive as an
02:23:47.220 individual
02:23:47.660 drop your
02:23:48.800 cult-like
02:23:49.600 affiliation
02:23:50.500 right
02:23:50.960 step out
02:23:51.760 of the
02:23:52.060 shadows
02:23:52.520 the
02:23:52.780 demonic
02:23:53.300 shadows
02:23:53.980 your
02:23:54.480 ideological
02:23:55.080 possession
02:23:55.720 and step
02:23:56.800 forward
02:23:57.240 as a fully
02:23:58.140 developed
02:23:58.540 person
02:23:58.940 into the
02:23:59.500 light
02:23:59.800 do it by
02:24:01.420 example
02:24:01.900 that's your
02:24:02.840 that's your
02:24:03.720 best bet
02:24:04.440 man
02:24:04.780 so that's
02:24:06.420 what it
02:24:06.620 looks like
02:24:06.960 to me
02:24:07.360 i'm going to
02:24:19.040 take one
02:24:19.500 more question
02:24:20.040 and then i'm
02:24:20.580 going to
02:24:20.960 there is a
02:24:21.640 young man
02:24:22.840 from kentucky
02:24:23.820 here
02:24:24.260 brian
02:24:25.140 it's brian
02:24:26.480 here
02:24:26.880 okay so
02:24:28.620 i'm going to
02:24:29.180 answer one
02:24:29.620 more question
02:24:30.260 and then i'm
02:24:30.760 going to let
02:24:31.080 you take
02:24:31.500 the mic
02:24:31.880 okay
02:24:32.240 all right
02:24:33.480 good evening
02:24:35.200 dr peterson
02:24:36.040 good evening
02:24:36.540 everybody
02:24:37.000 i also want
02:24:37.820 to thank you
02:24:38.440 first for
02:24:39.520 your lectures
02:24:40.280 that i've been
02:24:40.920 following on
02:24:41.520 youtube mainly
02:24:42.380 and to say
02:24:43.700 that they have
02:24:44.220 been well
02:24:45.260 life-changing
02:24:45.980 wouldn't be an
02:24:46.940 overstatement
02:24:47.840 great man
02:24:49.680 and i'm one of
02:24:50.780 the crazy people
02:24:51.580 increasing your
02:24:52.480 views on youtube
02:24:53.280 because i flew in
02:24:54.460 from belgium
02:24:55.200 last night to be
02:24:56.160 here
02:24:56.540 and it's like
02:25:03.600 3 a.m
02:25:04.500 for me right
02:25:05.280 now
02:25:05.600 and english
02:25:06.120 is not my
02:25:06.660 first language
02:25:07.360 so bear
02:25:08.760 with me
02:25:09.240 i would have
02:25:12.480 many burning
02:25:13.860 questions to
02:25:14.740 ask you
02:25:15.180 but i thought
02:25:15.720 it was fair
02:25:16.720 and necessary
02:25:17.280 to pick one
02:25:18.320 and it would
02:25:19.900 be this one
02:25:20.520 there are
02:25:20.980 concepts that
02:25:21.740 recur in your
02:25:22.720 lectures but
02:25:23.360 this one
02:25:23.900 you only mentioned
02:25:25.320 once in your
02:25:25.960 early videos
02:25:26.600 on blc-16
02:25:28.000 about self-esteem
02:25:30.800 you said you
02:25:31.380 don't believe in
02:25:31.860 the existence
02:25:32.400 of self-esteem
02:25:34.040 when you teach
02:25:34.820 children they're
02:25:35.440 all special
02:25:36.180 you think you
02:25:36.900 boost their
02:25:37.740 confidence
02:25:38.280 but the only
02:25:39.440 result is that
02:25:40.220 some get
02:25:40.820 narcissistic
02:25:41.720 the reason why
02:25:43.220 i'm interested
02:25:44.060 in that is
02:25:44.760 about standing
02:25:45.460 up for yourself
02:25:46.480 and it is
02:25:49.840 when i try
02:25:52.340 to you know
02:25:53.480 do it
02:25:55.060 i see
02:25:56.600 that
02:25:57.260 rational
02:25:59.380 arguments
02:26:00.260 faith in
02:26:01.000 rationality
02:26:01.820 doesn't get
02:26:02.740 the best
02:26:03.340 results
02:26:04.020 in negotiations
02:26:04.960 that's why
02:26:06.340 you learn
02:26:06.800 how to be
02:26:07.380 socialized
02:26:07.960 by playing
02:26:08.600 rough and
02:26:10.140 tumble
02:26:10.500 it's not
02:26:11.880 an intellectual
02:26:12.760 conversation
02:26:13.600 that gets
02:26:14.440 you socialized
02:26:15.280 so i'm also
02:26:16.520 reading that
02:26:17.100 book suggested
02:26:17.980 about by
02:26:19.040 steven hicks
02:26:20.120 explaining
02:26:20.820 post-modernism
02:26:21.680 because i
02:26:22.040 wasn't really
02:26:22.680 familiar and
02:26:23.460 i've been
02:26:23.740 listening to a
02:26:24.400 lot from you
02:26:24.920 i'm going to
02:26:24.940 talk to him
02:26:25.380 later this
02:26:25.900 week so that
02:26:26.500 might be fun
02:26:27.160 and i'm trying
02:26:28.540 to read with
02:26:29.120 fresh eyes
02:26:29.980 because i've
02:26:30.980 been indoctrinated
02:26:32.180 by you of
02:26:32.900 course i'm very
02:26:33.580 critical and
02:26:35.120 there's one more
02:26:36.140 point that i
02:26:37.180 have to agree
02:26:38.300 with the
02:26:40.140 post-modernist
02:26:41.040 and that is
02:26:41.660 the world seems
02:26:42.680 to me as i
02:26:43.560 observe it a
02:26:44.620 place where
02:26:45.640 powers are at
02:26:46.820 play it's not
02:26:48.360 rationality that
02:26:49.260 leads that so
02:26:50.720 when i'm in a
02:26:51.360 weak position and
02:26:52.580 i want to fight
02:26:53.380 back not to get
02:26:54.380 resentful i find
02:26:56.220 that it's not a
02:26:57.100 rational argument
02:26:58.020 that will get me
02:26:59.600 there there's
02:27:00.260 something else that
02:27:01.080 i don't do and
02:27:01.960 that i should be
02:27:02.580 doing and i don't
02:27:03.400 know what it is
02:27:04.260 so you see the
02:27:05.800 relation with
02:27:06.300 self-esteem seems
02:27:07.760 to me that people
02:27:08.380 who think of
02:27:09.100 themselves start
02:27:10.660 in a better
02:27:11.180 position in in
02:27:13.280 this game okay
02:27:14.200 so okay okay
02:27:15.400 great yeah all
02:27:16.600 right so there's a
02:27:17.200 lot in that
02:27:17.760 question so
02:27:18.340 the first thing
02:27:19.500 is is there's
02:27:20.720 a problem with
02:27:21.420 the measurement
02:27:21.980 of self-esteem
02:27:23.060 and that actually
02:27:24.140 matters because
02:27:24.820 self-esteem is a
02:27:25.700 psychological concept
02:27:26.860 a scientific
02:27:27.660 concept if you
02:27:28.520 like and you
02:27:29.520 have to get the
02:27:30.020 measurement right
02:27:30.660 and you can
02:27:31.520 predict self-esteem
02:27:32.420 almost perfectly
02:27:33.280 by measuring
02:27:33.880 someone's
02:27:34.360 extroversion
02:27:34.980 and subtracting
02:27:37.180 from that their
02:27:38.060 negative emotionality
02:27:39.140 or neuroticism
02:27:40.000 so it's actually
02:27:40.600 just a combination
02:27:41.480 of big five
02:27:42.120 traits and so
02:27:42.780 people who are
02:27:43.580 extroverted
02:27:44.220 who feel a lot
02:27:45.500 of positive emotion
02:27:46.280 and who are
02:27:47.160 and who don't
02:27:48.440 feel a lot of
02:27:49.080 negative emotion
02:27:49.820 score high on
02:27:51.100 scales of self-esteem
02:27:52.280 okay so
02:27:53.860 conceptually
02:27:55.480 it's a non-starter
02:27:57.340 because you're not
02:27:58.860 going to move
02:28:00.240 people's levels
02:28:01.260 of neuroticism
02:28:02.220 let's say
02:28:02.680 by trying to get
02:28:03.760 them to feel good
02:28:04.520 about themselves
02:28:05.220 okay now
02:28:06.580 having said that
02:28:07.800 that doesn't mean
02:28:08.940 that you shouldn't
02:28:10.320 encourage people
02:28:11.440 right now
02:28:12.420 there's this
02:28:14.000 psychologist named
02:28:15.260 Jerome Kagan
02:28:15.920 who's quite a
02:28:16.660 great psychologist
02:28:17.720 developmental psychologist
02:28:18.860 I think he's
02:28:20.060 an emeritus at
02:28:20.760 Harvard at the
02:28:21.520 at the moment
02:28:22.740 he studied
02:28:24.240 temperamentally
02:28:25.380 inhibited children
02:28:26.340 you can
02:28:27.600 so they're basically
02:28:28.580 kids who are
02:28:29.580 high in neuroticism
02:28:30.580 probably low in
02:28:31.420 extroversion
02:28:31.920 and he found
02:28:33.120 that if those
02:28:34.200 children
02:28:34.560 and you can
02:28:35.060 identify them
02:28:35.600 as early as
02:28:36.040 six months
02:28:36.540 right
02:28:36.780 very very
02:28:37.460 inculcated
02:28:38.260 in their temperament
02:28:39.000 he found that
02:28:41.200 if you encouraged
02:28:42.460 them in the world
02:28:43.400 you could shift
02:28:44.280 them into a more
02:28:45.420 stable personality
02:28:46.320 configuration
02:28:46.840 and what you
02:28:48.240 basically did was
02:28:49.200 when they were
02:28:49.780 manifesting signs
02:28:50.960 of distress
02:28:51.620 instead of
02:28:52.760 encouraging them
02:28:53.640 to withdraw
02:28:54.240 and retreat
02:28:55.160 which is what
02:28:56.080 they might be
02:28:56.760 attempting to do
02:28:57.640 you encourage them
02:28:59.300 to go out
02:28:59.900 and explore
02:29:00.500 so for example
02:29:01.220 if you have a
02:29:01.680 temperamentally
02:29:02.220 inhibited child
02:29:02.900 and you go to
02:29:03.360 a playground
02:29:03.840 and there's kids
02:29:05.000 out there
02:29:05.400 like if you have
02:29:06.060 an extroverted
02:29:06.580 emotionally stable
02:29:07.360 kid
02:29:07.680 three years old
02:29:09.300 as you put them
02:29:10.620 on the ground
02:29:11.280 their feet are
02:29:12.200 already moving
02:29:13.220 right
02:29:13.580 like a puppy
02:29:14.200 over water
02:29:14.980 and you let them
02:29:15.800 go and they just
02:29:16.300 run to the
02:29:16.960 to the kids
02:29:17.840 and they're there
02:29:18.660 and then you have
02:29:19.120 to drag them away
02:29:20.040 but if you have
02:29:20.740 a temperamentally
02:29:21.380 inhibited child
02:29:22.080 the child will
02:29:22.620 sort of stand
02:29:23.200 around your legs
02:29:23.940 and sort of
02:29:24.380 peek out
02:29:24.840 you know
02:29:25.660 and then what
02:29:26.360 you do is
02:29:27.140 wait it out
02:29:28.980 let them watch
02:29:30.260 encourage them
02:29:31.260 to move a little
02:29:31.840 bit forward
02:29:32.520 encourage them
02:29:33.380 to take their
02:29:34.040 steps out
02:29:34.640 into the unknown
02:29:35.400 and the strange
02:29:36.160 land
02:29:36.580 and
02:29:37.380 don't let
02:29:38.420 them withdraw
02:29:39.080 like you can do
02:29:39.860 it
02:29:40.000 they're slower
02:29:41.020 to warm up
02:29:41.540 they'll warm up
02:29:42.160 they'll habituate
02:29:43.020 and if you
02:29:43.820 continually expose
02:29:45.100 your inhibited child
02:29:46.300 to the things
02:29:48.120 that make them
02:29:48.760 anxious
02:29:49.220 in measured doses
02:29:50.460 then you can
02:29:51.060 transform their
02:29:51.860 psychophysiological
02:29:52.720 temperament
02:29:53.340 now you're probably
02:29:54.340 not going to
02:29:54.960 shift them
02:29:55.460 way the hell
02:29:56.020 out onto the
02:29:56.660 extroverted
02:29:57.280 emotionally stable
02:29:58.540 end
02:29:58.860 but you can
02:29:59.580 make a big
02:30:00.000 difference
02:30:00.360 that's very
02:30:01.240 different than
02:30:01.780 making them
02:30:02.360 feel good
02:30:02.940 about themselves
02:30:03.620 which is such
02:30:04.620 a
02:30:04.740 you need to curse
02:30:07.080 you need to curse
02:30:08.320 when you discuss
02:30:09.140 that concept
02:30:10.080 right
02:30:10.820 so
02:30:11.600 it isn't
02:30:12.820 improve their
02:30:13.660 self-esteem
02:30:14.380 it isn't how
02:30:15.000 you feel
02:30:15.620 about yourself
02:30:16.320 right
02:30:16.740 it's how you
02:30:17.620 act effectively
02:30:18.540 in the world
02:30:19.180 and how you're
02:30:19.720 trained to do
02:30:20.340 that
02:30:20.700 so
02:30:21.440 okay
02:30:21.980 now
02:30:22.320 then you were
02:30:23.100 talking about
02:30:23.600 negotiation
02:30:24.320 right
02:30:25.020 and you said
02:30:25.540 well don't
02:30:26.180 you said something
02:30:26.860 like don't people
02:30:27.540 who feel good
02:30:28.100 about themselves
02:30:28.740 aren't they able
02:30:29.680 to negotiate
02:30:30.280 better
02:30:30.760 and I know
02:30:32.280 that's a poor
02:30:32.820 paraphrase
02:30:33.440 excuse me
02:30:34.020 but
02:30:34.240 negotiation is
02:30:36.740 actually a
02:30:37.200 practical issue
02:30:38.060 to some degree
02:30:38.800 like the first
02:30:39.800 thing is that
02:30:40.300 you have to
02:30:40.720 figure out
02:30:41.120 what you want
02:30:41.880 because you were
02:30:42.740 saying well
02:30:43.080 it's not merely
02:30:43.600 rational
02:30:44.060 it's like yeah
02:30:44.640 yeah that's for
02:30:45.280 sure
02:30:45.460 you have to
02:30:46.200 bargain from
02:30:46.640 a position of
02:30:47.380 authority
02:30:48.180 let's say
02:30:48.600 not power
02:30:49.240 authority is a
02:30:50.660 better word
02:30:51.160 but you don't
02:30:52.040 have authority
02:30:52.660 unless you know
02:30:53.300 what you're
02:30:53.560 talking about
02:30:53.980 and unless
02:30:54.500 you can bring
02:30:55.220 some
02:30:56.120 unless you can
02:30:57.520 bring some
02:30:58.240 let's say
02:30:59.000 force
02:30:59.480 it's not
02:30:59.880 that's not
02:31:00.240 the right
02:31:00.560 word
02:31:00.900 you can't
02:31:03.580 negotiate
02:31:03.980 with anyone
02:31:04.880 unless you
02:31:05.400 can say
02:31:05.720 no
02:31:06.040 and you
02:31:07.660 can't say
02:31:08.060 no
02:31:08.240 unless you've
02:31:08.700 set yourself
02:31:09.160 up with
02:31:09.520 alternatives
02:31:10.000 so when you
02:31:11.280 go to your
02:31:11.740 boss and you
02:31:12.280 negotiate for
02:31:12.960 a raise
02:31:13.480 you need to
02:31:14.480 have this
02:31:14.760 sort of CV
02:31:15.320 that enables
02:31:15.920 you to go
02:31:16.280 find another
02:31:16.760 job
02:31:17.180 and you
02:31:17.660 have to
02:31:17.960 have your
02:31:18.240 CV
02:31:18.520 prepared
02:31:18.980 and you
02:31:19.560 have to
02:31:19.900 have looked
02:31:20.240 for another
02:31:20.640 job
02:31:20.960 and you
02:31:21.560 have to
02:31:21.920 be able
02:31:22.200 to get
02:31:22.560 one
02:31:22.900 because
02:31:23.480 then you
02:31:23.780 can go
02:31:24.080 in there
02:31:24.380 and say
02:31:24.800 I'm not
02:31:26.440 as productive
02:31:26.960 as I
02:31:27.300 could be
02:31:27.780 at my
02:31:28.400 current level
02:31:28.940 of remuneration
02:31:29.900 it's not
02:31:30.740 reflective of
02:31:31.400 what I'm
02:31:31.780 able to
02:31:32.140 do
02:31:32.400 and I
02:31:33.520 want this
02:31:34.040 and this
02:31:34.320 is what
02:31:34.560 will happen
02:31:35.040 if you
02:31:35.360 give me
02:31:35.660 this
02:31:35.900 this will
02:31:36.200 be the
02:31:36.420 good
02:31:36.540 things
02:31:36.760 that will
02:31:36.960 happen
02:31:37.260 and what
02:31:38.200 do you
02:31:38.360 think of
02:31:38.680 that
02:31:38.940 and the
02:31:39.740 person
02:31:40.040 is going
02:31:40.920 to know
02:31:41.380 even by
02:31:42.160 the way
02:31:42.520 that you
02:31:42.900 hold
02:31:43.280 yourself
02:31:43.680 while you're
02:31:44.020 having the
02:31:44.360 discussion
02:31:44.840 whether or
02:31:45.640 not you're
02:31:46.000 someone with
02:31:46.460 options
02:31:46.920 and you
02:31:47.720 can't fake
02:31:48.280 that
02:31:48.660 well you
02:31:49.640 can
02:31:49.980 but it's
02:31:50.380 not helpful
02:31:50.920 like it
02:31:51.360 just doesn't
02:31:52.100 work for
02:31:52.460 very many
02:31:52.880 iterations
02:31:53.300 you have
02:31:54.220 to
02:31:54.440 it's
02:31:55.040 it's
02:31:55.300 not
02:31:55.740 rational
02:31:56.200 you're
02:31:56.500 preparing
02:31:56.880 yourself
02:31:57.320 for
02:31:57.560 battle
02:31:58.020 that's
02:31:58.680 what
02:31:58.780 you're
02:31:58.920 doing
02:31:59.220 and you
02:32:00.020 can't
02:32:00.300 be
02:32:00.440 weak
02:32:00.760 when you
02:32:01.060 prepare
02:32:01.380 yourself
02:32:02.020 for
02:32:02.300 battle
02:32:02.620 because
02:32:03.300 if the
02:32:03.600 person
02:32:03.860 says
02:32:04.140 no
02:32:04.680 I'm not
02:32:06.000 giving you
02:32:06.400 a raise
02:32:06.800 which is
02:32:07.140 exactly
02:32:07.460 what they
02:32:07.780 should
02:32:07.960 say
02:32:08.160 because
02:32:08.420 what are
02:32:08.640 they
02:32:08.740 going
02:32:08.860 to
02:32:08.940 do
02:32:09.080 just
02:32:09.300 like
02:32:09.540 sprinkle
02:32:09.860 the
02:32:10.040 money
02:32:10.200 around
02:32:10.520 you
02:32:11.280 need
02:32:11.520 to
02:32:11.620 be
02:32:11.720 able
02:32:11.800 to
02:32:11.920 say
02:32:12.140 okay
02:32:12.840 then
02:32:13.200 there
02:32:13.700 will
02:32:13.960 be
02:32:14.180 consequences
02:32:14.960 that
02:32:15.680 you
02:32:15.900 don't
02:32:16.280 like
02:32:16.680 and
02:32:17.560 that's
02:32:17.760 what
02:32:17.880 it
02:32:18.000 means
02:32:18.240 to
02:32:18.400 say
02:32:18.560 no
02:32:18.740 to
02:32:18.900 someone
02:32:19.220 no
02:32:19.760 means
02:32:20.160 if
02:32:20.780 you
02:32:20.920 continue
02:32:21.280 to
02:32:21.500 push
02:32:21.740 this
02:32:22.080 things
02:32:22.660 will
02:32:22.860 happen
02:32:23.180 that
02:32:23.360 you
02:32:23.480 don't
02:32:23.760 like
02:32:24.060 now
02:32:24.460 in
02:32:24.560 that
02:32:24.740 case
02:32:25.000 it'll
02:32:25.160 be
02:32:25.320 all
02:32:25.600 depart
02:32:26.020 and
02:32:26.260 take
02:32:26.460 my
02:32:26.660 talents
02:32:26.960 with
02:32:27.240 me
02:32:27.480 and
02:32:27.960 if
02:32:28.080 they
02:32:28.260 don't
02:32:28.500 care
02:32:28.760 well
02:32:28.960 then
02:32:29.120 you're
02:32:29.280 in
02:32:29.380 the
02:32:29.480 wrong
02:32:29.640 business
02:32:29.960 or
02:32:30.140 you
02:32:30.280 don't
02:32:30.420 have
02:32:30.580 any
02:32:30.740 talents
02:32:31.080 to
02:32:31.260 begin
02:32:31.560 with
02:32:31.840 right
02:32:32.080 which
02:32:32.560 is
02:32:32.740 so
02:32:33.340 in
02:32:34.260 order
02:32:34.660 to
02:32:34.840 negotiate
02:32:35.400 properly
02:32:36.020 and
02:32:36.320 this
02:32:36.800 is
02:32:36.920 more
02:32:37.060 difficult
02:32:37.380 for
02:32:37.600 people
02:32:37.860 who
02:32:38.000 are
02:32:38.100 agreeable
02:32:48.560 on
02:32:48.880 and
02:32:49.320 that
02:32:49.440 means
02:32:49.640 you
02:32:49.760 have
02:32:49.940 to
02:32:50.100 open
02:32:50.480 up
02:32:51.660 your
02:32:51.800 space
02:32:52.100 of
02:32:52.240 available
02:32:52.580 options
02:32:53.080 because
02:32:53.620 otherwise
02:32:53.960 the
02:32:55.120 person
02:32:55.320 says
02:32:55.540 no
02:32:55.780 and
02:32:55.960 that's
02:32:57.060 it
02:32:57.200 you're
02:32:57.820 done
02:32:58.020 well
02:32:58.860 you'll
02:32:59.140 lose
02:32:59.360 then
02:32:59.600 it's
02:33:00.660 as
02:33:00.960 straightforward
02:33:01.300 as
02:33:01.540 that
02:33:01.840 now
02:33:02.760 with
02:33:04.020 regards
02:33:04.360 to
02:33:04.500 the
02:33:04.640 self
02:33:04.840 esteem
02:33:05.200 part
02:33:05.480 is
02:33:05.640 practice
02:33:06.460 on
02:33:06.760 small
02:33:07.100 things
02:33:07.540 because
02:33:08.260 you
02:33:08.360 build
02:33:08.580 the
02:33:08.720 skills
02:33:09.060 forget
02:33:09.340 about
02:33:09.580 the
02:33:09.740 self
02:33:09.960 esteem
02:33:10.240 it
02:33:10.340 isn't
02:33:10.480 about
02:33:10.700 being
02:33:11.020 confident
02:33:11.520 or
02:33:11.720 feeling
02:33:11.980 confident
02:33:12.440 or
02:33:12.620 any
02:33:12.740 of
02:33:12.860 that
02:33:13.040 it's
02:33:13.460 about
02:33:13.620 knowing
02:33:13.960 bloody
02:33:14.280 well
02:33:14.500 how
02:33:14.640 to
02:33:14.740 negotiate
02:33:15.220 start
02:33:15.900 with
02:33:16.060 small
02:33:16.280 things
02:33:16.660 you know
02:33:17.720 so
02:33:18.320 you'll
02:33:18.580 notice
02:33:18.860 that
02:33:19.060 there
02:33:19.200 are
02:33:19.300 things
02:33:19.520 in
02:33:19.700 your
02:33:19.820 relationships
02:33:20.320 in
02:33:20.580 particular
02:33:20.900 that
02:33:21.160 aren't
02:33:21.520 the
02:33:21.760 way
02:33:21.920 you
02:33:22.100 want
02:33:22.360 them
02:33:22.480 to
02:33:22.620 be
02:33:22.840 and
02:33:23.340 that
02:33:23.480 you
02:33:23.660 could
02:33:23.820 see
02:33:24.040 how
02:33:24.220 could
02:33:24.420 be
02:33:24.560 improved
02:33:25.040 it's
02:33:25.340 like
02:33:25.560 figure
02:33:26.280 out
02:33:26.400 how
02:33:26.480 they
02:33:26.620 can
02:33:26.740 be
02:33:26.860 improved
02:33:27.260 negotiate
02:33:27.920 with
02:33:28.200 your
02:33:28.340 partner
02:33:28.700 make
02:33:29.320 the
02:33:29.480 incremental
02:33:29.880 improvement
02:33:30.440 keep
02:33:30.820 doing
02:33:31.060 that
02:33:31.260 you'll
02:33:31.440 get
02:33:31.560 better
02:33:31.860 and
02:33:32.020 better
02:33:32.200 at
02:33:32.440 it
02:33:32.600 and
02:33:32.960 then
02:33:33.100 you'll
02:33:33.240 be
02:33:43.620 fundamentally
02:33:43.980 it's
02:33:44.240 a set
02:33:44.480 of
02:33:44.620 skills
02:33:44.940 no
02:33:47.120 problem

02:35:54.540 scary
02:35:55.040 as

02:36:37.740 yourself
02:36:38.100 to
