00:00:41.800 Go to Daily Wire Plus now and start watching Dr. Jordan B. Peterson on depression and anxiety.
00:00:47.460 Let this be the first step towards the brighter future you deserve.
00:00:57.420 Welcome to Season 2, Episode 16 of the Jordan B. Peterson Podcast.
00:01:03.860 I'm Michaela Peterson, Dr. Peterson's daughter and collaborator.
00:01:07.420 This week's episode is a bit of a continuation of last week's.
00:01:10.580 If you haven't heard last week's episode, I'd recommend listening to that one first and then listening to this one.
00:01:15.820 We've combined a commentary on claiming belief in God, and then a discussion with Dennis Prager, both from the May 2019 Prager U Summit.
00:01:23.820 Dad's a bit upset in this video. It's because of what's been going on with my mom.
00:01:27.700 If you've been listening to this podcast, you know we've been dealing with some really serious health issues.
00:01:31.660 So that's part of the reason for his state of being.
00:01:33.800 That being said, I hope you enjoy it, and leave just a little bit mind blown.
00:01:38.260 I swear I'm always mind blown around Dad.
00:01:40.680 It's warped me into the human I am today. Enjoy.
00:01:43.860 When we return, Dad's conversation with Dennis Prager.
00:01:46.780 Please welcome my father, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson.
00:01:55.500 So, I think I'll tell you what I've learned over the last year.
00:02:05.200 I've traveled to about 160 cities since last January with my wife, Tammy, and spoken to about 300,000 people at live events.
00:02:24.760 And so, the first thing I learned was that, for some reason, I can travel to 160 cities and speak to 300,000 people.
00:02:35.440 And that was a shock in itself, that it's a continual shock, that everywhere we go, there's a massive hunger for whatever it is that I happen to be talking about.
00:02:52.520 And, you know, I think about that constantly when I'm discussing, what I'm discussing with my audiences, trying to understand what it is that's driving this.
00:03:09.940 I do that a variety of ways.
00:03:11.820 You know, one of the things I do is listen for silence.
00:03:14.480 If you have 3,500 people in an auditorium and they all fall dead silent, what that means is that you've touched on something that's of universal importance in that moment anyways.
00:03:32.380 Because it supersedes, the topic supersedes anything else that's being considered, right?
00:03:39.820 It supersedes the desire to shift your position in your chair.
00:03:43.200 It supersedes the desire to whisper to your neighbor.
00:03:47.260 It grips your attention completely and forces a silence.
00:03:51.980 And it's a very interesting thing to listen for that because you see that people are in the grip of something.
00:04:02.780 And then you have to puzzle out what it is that they're in the grip of.
00:04:10.560 I can tell you some about that.
00:04:13.280 You know, there's this idea that became very popular in the 1960s.
00:04:19.980 I just talked to a bishop, Bishop Barron, about a week and a half ago for my YouTube video channel and for my podcast.
00:04:30.560 And I told him that I was a strange psychologist because I never told my audiences that, and I always speak to individuals in the audience, I never tell someone that they're okay the way they are.
00:04:44.840 You know, there's this idea that came up in the 60s that you're okay the way you are.
00:04:49.060 And, well, I don't like that idea very much.
00:04:55.320 And I think it's a very bad idea, especially when you're talking to young people who are lost and nihilistic and depressed and suffering and aimless and ideologically possessed and prematurely cynical.
00:05:10.600 Because they're not okay the way they are.
00:05:13.120 And if you tell them that they are, then they think, well, this is it.
00:05:16.460 That's it.
00:05:16.980 That's life.
00:05:17.600 It's like I've hit the pinnacle at 18.
00:05:20.140 I don't know anything about the world.
00:05:22.020 I haven't contributed anything to it.
00:05:24.480 But there's no up because I'm okay the way they are, the way I am.
00:05:29.200 It's like, you're not okay the way you are, especially if you're 18.
00:05:34.060 You've got 60 years to put yourself together.
00:05:36.720 And you better be better at the end of that than you were at the beginning or something has gone seriously wrong.
00:05:42.700 And so it's not an optimistic thing to tell people that they're okay the way they are.
00:05:47.920 It's a pessimistic thing because what you do is denigrate what they could be for what they are.
00:05:53.140 And I know that is a terrible idea, technically speaking, from a psychological perspective.
00:06:00.360 Because it's who you could be that imbues your life with meaning.
00:06:06.480 It's not the only thing.
00:06:08.000 I mean, you have your friends and your family, but they expect something from you too.
00:06:11.740 You know, they expect the best from you.
00:06:13.780 They expect a certain amount of improvement, especially if you have children.
00:06:18.020 But even if you are a child, you might expect some improvement from your parents as well.
00:06:24.940 But that's what you hope for, is you hope that the person can manifest what's best in them.
00:06:29.540 And if they don't do that, then you're disappointed in them.
00:06:33.640 Just like you would be inexorably or are inexorably disappointed in yourself if you don't manifest what's best in you.
00:06:42.260 And I think that that's very interesting.
00:06:44.800 Moral law, you know.
00:06:49.040 I talk a lot to my audiences about what I believe to be incontrovertible facts.
00:06:57.420 And I think that the fundamental incontrovertible fact is that life is suffering.
00:07:06.440 And I think that that's why that's a primary axiom of religious belief.
00:07:15.600 In some sense, almost regardless of the faith that life is suffering.
00:07:21.360 And everyone knows that.
00:07:24.240 Although they don't necessarily like to admit it or to talk about it.
00:07:27.340 I mean, you don't have to scrape beneath the surface very far in someone's life to find a tragedy lurking.
00:07:34.900 If the person that you're speaking with doesn't have something pretty awful happening to them right at the moment,
00:07:44.120 economically or socially or within their family or physically or mentally,
00:07:47.600 the probability that someone they love has a problem of that sort is extraordinarily high.
00:07:53.940 And if you happen to be among the fortunate minority for whom that isn't true,
00:07:58.580 well, all you have to do is wait.
00:08:00.880 And it will be true soon enough.
00:08:04.520 And sooner than you think.
00:08:06.200 And worse than you imagine.
00:08:08.400 And so, and everyone knows that.
00:08:12.640 And so, it's easy to understand why people become cynical and bitter and hurt and nihilistic.
00:08:23.960 I think there's a progression in life.
00:08:28.420 You know, if you're naive, you think that life will be easy and that people are basically good.
00:08:35.020 And then you have some experiences if you're not sheltered too much.
00:08:39.300 And that gets taken away from you because you betray yourself or other people betray you or you encounter a tragedy.
00:08:47.520 And then your naivety is shattered.
00:08:49.640 And the most likely place that you'll go from there is into something approximating cynicism
00:08:54.560 because you don't know the alternative.
00:08:57.740 And your initial faith, which was not faith, but naivety is shattered by the terrible reality of what you encounter.
00:09:05.980 And then as a cynical person, you're more wise than you are as a naive person.
00:09:12.000 And then that's a strange thing because you're worse in some sense than you were.
00:09:17.220 You know, you're not as optimistic and you're not as filled with hope and your life is more difficult.
00:09:23.340 And you're probably harder on other people and with more of a tendency towards cruelty.
00:09:27.700 And none of that seems positive, but there's a wisdom in cynicism that the naive lack.
00:09:33.680 But the problem is there that cynicism is not a useful antidote to, let's say, tragedy and malevolence
00:09:45.940 because there are places that you go past cynicism as you approach wisdom.
00:09:52.040 And it's wisdom that you need in order to fabricate yourself,
00:09:58.100 this sort of vessel that will keep you afloat during stormy times.
00:10:04.440 And so I talk to my audiences about wisdom.
00:10:14.900 And I think I tell them other things that I believe to be true.
00:10:20.440 It's like, well, life is difficult and it's tainted by malevolence.
00:10:27.860 And it's cast in tragedy.
00:10:31.600 And you need something to offset that because otherwise it embitters you.
00:10:37.600 And if you're embittered, then you become vengeful and cruel, inevitably.
00:10:43.800 And then you make everything that's made you worse, worse in turn.
00:10:49.060 And there's no bottom to that, you know, as anyone who's even a moderate student of history
00:10:55.200 history soon comes to understand, well, there's an idea that hell is a bottomless pit.
00:11:01.500 And the reason for that is that there's no situation that's so terrible
00:11:05.320 that there isn't some damn fool thing that some idiot can do that will make it far worse.
00:11:10.800 And it's reasonably probable that you're that idiot.
00:11:14.480 And so the question is, what might constitute an alternative to that?
00:11:25.220 And if there is an alternative and, you know, I learned a while back, long while back,
00:11:32.140 reading religious mythology mostly, that there is a difference between thinking and paying attention.
00:11:39.560 And of the two, paying attention is much more important.
00:11:42.380 It's not the same thing as thinking.
00:11:44.980 Like, when you pay attention, you're looking for what you don't know.
00:11:48.120 Like, you kind of detach yourself and you watch and you listen and you see if things are the way you think they are.
00:11:54.340 And you hope they are because life is easier if things are the way you think they are.
00:12:00.140 But if you find out that they're not and you're paying attention,
00:12:03.420 then you can weave and you can bob and you can adapt and you can learn.
00:12:07.680 And so you have to learn to pay attention.
00:12:11.180 And I just ask people when I'm speaking to pay attention to what they already know.
00:12:21.080 And here's something that everybody knows.
00:12:23.460 You know, in a world that consists of suffering and malevolence,
00:12:30.840 who is it that you admire or who is it that you don't admire?
00:12:34.960 Those are the same question.
00:12:37.180 If you know who you don't admire, well, then you have a negative model and you can go for the opposite.
00:12:42.460 And if you know who you admire, well, then you can copy that.
00:12:45.280 And the instinct for admiration is an instinct for imitation.
00:12:49.240 And we're very imitative creatures.
00:12:52.000 And our instinct for admiration is the instinct for imitation.
00:12:59.780 And what would you call it?
00:13:01.940 A deeply biologically and metaphysically rooted guideline to the proper path of life.
00:13:08.260 The question is, is there a proper path of life?
00:13:10.840 Well, there are certainly pathways that make things worse.
00:13:16.220 That's something to know.
00:13:18.360 You could avoid those.
00:13:20.520 And if there's something that, if there are pathways that make things worse,
00:13:23.940 then there are the opposite pathways, even though those might not be so clear.
00:13:29.180 I think that's why we're often so enamored of evil characters in fictional representations.
00:13:34.980 It's because it's clearer.
00:13:36.500 It's easier in some sense to make what constitutes the dark path clearer.
00:13:41.360 It's easier for people to understand.
00:13:43.160 Whereas the path that's positive is murkier and more difficult to ascertain.
00:13:48.540 But at the very least, you know it's the opposite of that.
00:13:52.460 So, well, who do you admire?
00:13:54.680 Or we could start by who don't you admire?
00:13:56.620 Well, you don't admire an adult who won't take responsibility for himself or herself, and could.
00:14:05.880 You know, I understand there are people that are so broken and hurt that they need help constantly
00:14:11.980 because they can't take responsibility for themselves.
00:14:14.580 Or they can in small ways, but not completely.
00:14:18.740 But you don't admire someone who won't take responsibility for themselves.
00:14:21.900 In fact, you have a sense of contempt for that.
00:14:23.900 And if you happen to be that person, then you'll wake up in the middle of the night
00:14:27.420 and berate yourself with what's left of your conscience for failing to undertake your moral duty.
00:14:33.620 Your intrinsic moral duty.
00:14:36.060 And you can't escape that.
00:14:38.700 And that's so interesting.
00:14:40.600 No, that you can't escape that.
00:14:42.700 If you were the creature who could invent your own values,
00:14:46.080 as Nietzsche suggested, as an antidote to the death of God,
00:14:49.180 then you'd just forgive your transgressions.
00:14:52.400 And you wouldn't suffer the bitter pangs of conscience.
00:14:55.060 But you do.
00:14:56.480 And the reason you do is because you're doing things that are wrong.
00:15:00.860 And you should stop.
00:15:02.740 And you know it.
00:15:03.640 Maybe you can't.
00:15:06.200 And then, well, let's say then the opposite is that you admire someone
00:15:11.040 who can take responsibility for himself or herself.
00:15:14.240 That's a start.
00:15:14.980 And then maybe you admire someone even more if they've forged their character sufficiently
00:15:21.400 to move past cynicism so that not only they take responsibility for themselves,
00:15:27.000 but they can take responsibility for their family.
00:15:30.360 You know?
00:15:30.660 And they're there for the people who love them when it's necessary.
00:15:37.620 And if you do that, then you have something I wouldn't say necessarily to be proud of,
00:15:43.780 but at least you have one less thing to upbraid yourself with.
00:15:49.180 And that's something.
00:15:51.700 And then you can move past that and you can say,
00:15:55.000 well, maybe if you put yourself together enough, carefully enough, spoke the truth enough,
00:16:03.920 we're courageous enough, in spite of the reasons you have not to be,
00:16:09.560 that you could also be someone of benefit to yourself and your family and your community.
00:16:14.900 And you partake in structuring things in a harmonious manner by living in that way.
00:16:22.080 It's a, it's a, it's not an individual focused ethos.
00:16:30.180 It's an ethos of harmony among levels.
00:16:33.800 You should do what's good for you, but it has to be what's good for your family at the same time.
00:16:38.020 And it has to be what's good for you and your family and your community at the same time.
00:16:41.720 And that works musically, you know, it makes all the levels work in harmony.
00:16:47.000 And, and you can tell when that's happening.
00:16:50.020 And this is another thing that's a great utility to know is that
00:16:53.060 when you're in that place where you're acting in the proper manner
00:16:57.460 and you're facing things courageously and you're speaking the truth,
00:17:02.860 you're imbued with a sense of fundamental meaning.
00:17:08.360 And that meaning is the antidote to the catastrophe of life.
00:17:13.500 And it's the, it's the antidote psychologically because you have to have that meaning
00:17:18.800 because otherwise your life is too dark and too dreadful and it will corrupt you.
00:17:24.600 So it's the antidote psychologically, but it's also the antidote practically
00:17:29.360 because we're not nothing as human beings.
00:17:33.400 You know, they say that we're made in the image of God.
00:17:39.160 And it's hard to say what that means, but it means at least in part to participate
00:17:44.720 in the process of bringing the good into being.
00:17:48.380 And we can all do that and the opposite.
00:17:51.760 And if we accept our responsibility to ourselves and to other people and to our communities
00:17:59.300 and we lift that load up, then we live lives that are meaningful and that stops us from being corrupt.
00:18:07.180 It, it provides us with a medication against catastrophe and it also practically improves the world.
00:18:16.780 That's the other thing.
00:18:17.920 It's not just psychological.
00:18:19.760 It's, you can make things worse.
00:18:22.700 Everyone knows that.
00:18:23.760 And no doubt you have in many ways, but you can make things better and they actually get better.
00:18:30.800 And there's a reason for hope.
00:18:32.820 And there's something to be said to know that you're the sort of creature that can look mortality and catastrophe
00:18:40.980 and malevolence straight in the eye, so to speak, and nonetheless stand up and do what's right.
00:18:48.740 And that all there is in that is good.
00:18:56.500 And that's what I've been telling people.
00:19:00.720 Thank you very much.
00:19:02.520 So everybody, when I never met in person, I never met Jordan Peterson in person.
00:19:21.800 But I said to him when we met right before lunch, something that is said to me by so many people who meet me for the first time,
00:19:30.680 I feel like I know you, and I, that is the highest compliment in effect.
00:19:37.440 I now understand what a compliment that is when I receive it because I never gave it to somebody before you.
00:19:45.240 And I, I have watched you for hours and listened to you and read your book.
00:19:54.000 And in fact, I didn't just read your book.
00:19:56.240 I heard your book from you.
00:19:57.880 So I want to tell you something without embarrassing you, but I think I, I, I like to, you open your heart and your mind.
00:20:09.600 And so do I.
00:20:12.480 When I was very young, I realized that, uh, God or nature had given me, uh, what I have called a goodness detector.
00:20:21.440 And I knew, I always knew when I was in the presence of a good person, because that's all I really care about.
00:20:32.360 I think brains are wildly overrated, wildly.
00:20:38.000 Uh, that's why I think you, you're not bright if you join Mensa.
00:20:42.140 Uh, why you would want to announce to the world, your IQ is so bizarre to me that I, I, I, I, I'm sure there are nice people there, but I, I, I don't understand it.
00:20:54.060 But I always picked up that, and I've, and I've always been right.
00:21:00.640 I, I, it's a, it's a, I'm batting a thousand essentially.
00:21:04.020 And when I heard you read your book, the passion comes from, I just want to help people lead a better life.
00:21:16.740 And it's really, it's, it's, it's quite overwhelming.
00:21:20.900 You, you didn't just read that book.
00:21:22.940 You, you, I won't say you sang it, but I like that you use music.
00:21:29.120 I'm very much into music too.
00:21:31.800 So this is the man that I'm honored to have this dialogue with, because you're, everybody knows you're bright, but I know you're good.
00:21:42.660 So I wanted to state that at the outset.
00:21:46.740 Going online without ExpressVPN is like not paying attention to the safety demonstration on a flight.
00:22:00.020 Most of the time, you'll probably be fine.
00:22:02.160 But what if one day that weird yellow mask drops down from overhead and you have no idea what to do?
00:22:07.840 In our hyper-connected world, your digital privacy isn't just a luxury.
00:22:11.640 It's a fundamental right.
00:22:12.820 Every time you connect to an unsecured network in a cafe, hotel, or airport, you're essentially broadcasting your personal information to anyone with a technical know-how to intercept it.
00:22:22.300 And let's be clear, it doesn't take a genius hacker to do this.
00:22:25.500 With some off-the-shelf hardware, even a tech-savvy teenager could potentially access your passwords, bank logins, and credit card details.
00:22:32.920 Now, you might think, what's the big deal?
00:22:34.980 Who'd want my data anyway?
00:22:36.260 Well, on the dark web, your personal information could fetch up to $1,000.
00:22:41.160 That's right, there's a whole underground economy built on stolen identities.
00:22:45.220 Enter ExpressVPN.
00:22:46.980 It's like a digital fortress, creating an encrypted tunnel between your device and the internet.
00:22:51.660 Their encryption is so robust that it would take a hacker with a supercomputer over a billion years to crack it.
00:22:57.260 But don't let its power fool you.
00:22:59.100 ExpressVPN is incredibly user-friendly.
00:23:01.100 With just one click, you're protected across all your devices.
00:23:04.480 Phones, laptops, tablets, you name it.
00:23:06.680 That's why I use ExpressVPN whenever I'm traveling or working from a coffee shop.

00:24:38.260 See, I have something to say about that.
00:24:44.700 Good.
00:24:47.000 That's good.
00:24:53.540 See, I don't think it's true.
00:24:56.780 I mean, this is why.
00:24:58.300 I got motivated to do what I've been doing, and I've been doing what I've been doing for, I would say, since about 1979, in one form or another.
00:25:12.120 Because things take a long time to generate.
00:25:15.200 And one of the things I learned in the early 80s was that people have a great capacity for evil.
00:25:21.720 And I didn't really understand that of myself until the early 80s, something like that, after meditating on it for a long time.
00:25:35.880 And so I would say, it's not that I'm, I would never claim to be good.
00:25:44.700 I think it's dangerous.
00:25:47.900 But I did become terrified of how terrible I could be.
00:25:51.720 And, I mean, I became terrified about how terrible human beings could be, and that's one thing.
00:25:58.020 But that's easy.
00:25:59.160 It's easy to confuse that with other human beings.
00:26:02.320 You know, it's a different thing to understand that it's true of yourself.
00:26:07.740 I often recommend to my students that they read history as a perpetrator and not as a victim or a hero.
00:26:13.720 And people very seldom do that, and it's no wonder.
00:26:16.300 But I would say, perhaps, that I became terrified enough from learning what I learned that I tried to avoid the pathways that lead people to the dark places that they go.
00:26:31.820 And there's something in that that might approximate good.
00:26:34.760 Yeah, it does approximate good.
00:26:37.860 I would agree with that.
00:26:40.560 The parallels between us are so eerie to me that in my book on happiness, which came out in 99, I actually have a chapter on the necessity of having a tragic view of life.
00:27:00.060 And then I hear you speak of, like just now, this tragic view of life.
00:27:06.120 And, ironically, if you don't have that, you can't be happy.
00:27:09.440 So, it's just another example of this, that you're getting this message out.
00:27:16.400 If you want to comment on that, please, if not, I'll go on.
00:27:19.880 You are such an, I watch you, and you're such an intense listener.
00:27:23.620 I don't know when you're going to react.
00:27:26.020 So, if you...
00:27:27.920 Well, there's this old idea.
00:27:30.620 You all know this idea.
00:27:32.140 It's an idea that's expressed, for example, in the classic Disney movie, classic Disney movie, which I really like, called Pinocchio.
00:27:44.260 And, you know, when Pinocchio is attempting to free himself from the forces that manipulate him as a puppet and to become an autonomous being,
00:27:54.180 he is required to go to the darkest place to find the worst monster and face that voluntarily.
00:28:04.880 And, in doing so, he rescues his father.
00:28:07.880 And that's a very old idea.
00:28:11.500 I don't know how old it is.
00:28:14.600 It's one of the oldest ideas we have in written form.
00:28:18.540 And there's no doubt that, in its pre-written form, it would be tens of thousands of years older than that.
00:28:24.560 And it's a very strange idea that you have to journey to the darkest abyss to free the spirit of your father.
00:28:34.420 But there's a reason for it, and it has to do with the tragic view of life.
00:28:37.920 Which is that you can't discover what you're capable of being or withstanding, and those are the same things,
00:28:51.760 without, if you hide away from any of the things about life that are terrible but true.
00:28:57.940 And the reason you can't discover who you are without doing that is that only necessity will force that out of you.
00:29:08.500 And I mean that from the perspective of learning.
00:29:13.260 If you go work in a palliative care ward, you'll learn to deal with death.
00:29:18.280 You'll learn the psychological strategies necessary, the steps.
00:29:24.040 You'll become more informed.
00:29:25.420 But it's deeper than that, even.
00:29:27.120 We know now, from a biological perspective, that if you put yourself in new situations, in new and challenging situations,
00:29:34.540 that new genes turn on in your nervous system and code for new proteins that produce new neurological structures.
00:29:42.300 And so you can't even be what you are fully biologically unless you expose yourself to everything that you can expose yourself to as you journey through life.
00:29:51.820 The old idea of a pilgrimage was predicated on that idea, as is walking in Chartres Cathedral.
00:30:06.620 The idea that you walk the labyrinth in Chartres and you come to the center is that you traverse every corner of the world, quarter by quarter.
00:30:18.560 And then you come to the center, and the center is the center of the church, and it's the center of the crucifixion.
00:30:24.900 It's the center of suffering.
00:30:26.180 And you can't get to what that center signifies without having journeyed everywhere.
00:30:38.080 And so the tragic view of life is necessary because it puts you on the journey that reveals to yourself who you could be
00:30:49.820 if you were as courageous as you could be and as truthful as you could be.
00:30:54.300 And that's equivalent to discovering, to revivifying your dead father,
00:30:58.620 because you are an ancient creature in some sense, and perhaps one with a spark of divinity inherent in it.
00:31:09.040 But you will never release that unless you're willing to go everywhere that you have to go,
00:31:15.220 because only necessity will call that out of you.
00:31:18.020 And so you can't be happy.
00:31:23.700 You can't be complete.
00:31:26.840 You can't know what you could withstand.
00:31:29.600 You can't have any proper sense of self-respect unless you know what you can tolerate.
00:31:34.600 And if you avoid everything that you have reason to avoid, but should nonetheless not avoid,
00:31:42.420 you won't know who you are, and then you can't live properly.
00:31:46.520 You have said on a number of occasions, and on every occasion that I have watched you say it,
00:31:56.080 not a single person in the panel, you often talk on panels,
00:32:00.960 not one person has ever actually reacted to it.
00:32:04.800 I totally get it.
00:32:06.820 Nevertheless, it's one of the most important things you regularly say.
00:32:10.920 You live as if there is a God.
00:32:13.240 Is that correct?
00:32:16.280 Well, people ask me if I believe in God.
00:32:19.200 You know, I'm going to release a podcast about that,
00:32:23.720 because I answered that question for about two hours in Australia,
00:32:27.240 because people kept asking me that question, which I really don't like.
00:32:31.460 I don't like that question.
00:32:33.880 And so I sat and thought about it for a good while, and I tried to figure out why.
00:32:37.840 And then I thought, well, you believe.
00:32:43.400 I thought, who would have the audacity to claim that they believed in God?
00:32:55.220 If they examined the way they lived, who would dare say that?
00:33:00.580 But to believe, you think, to believe in a Christian sense, to actually,
00:33:06.420 this is why Nietzsche said there was only ever one Christian, and that was Christ.
00:33:11.600 To have the audacity to claim that means that you live it out fully.
00:33:16.900 And that's an unbearable task, in some sense.
00:33:24.980 I just debated Slavoj Žižek about a week ago, although it wasn't really much of a debate.
00:33:30.520 It was a strange event.
00:33:32.740 But he said something very brilliant to me that justified the entire event,
00:33:36.980 at least from my perspective.
00:33:38.120 He talked about Christ's moment of crisis on the cross when he cried out to God that he had been forsaken.
00:33:47.880 And what Žižek said was that what that meant was that the conditions of human existence are so tragic
00:33:55.800 that even God himself, in human form, lost faith for a moment in the goodness of being.
00:34:04.620 And I thought that was a remarkable observation, because, well, if God himself would lose faith under such conditions,
00:34:13.380 what would you expect from normal human beings confronted with what we're confronted by?
00:34:19.480 And to be able to accept the structure of existence,
00:34:32.680 the suffering that goes along with it, and the disappointment, and the betrayal,
00:34:36.660 and to nonetheless act properly, right?
00:34:39.560 To aim at the good with all your heart, right?
00:34:43.260 To dispense with the malevolence, and your desire for destruction, and revenge, and all of that.
00:34:48.700 And to face things courageously, and to tell the truth.
00:34:52.040 To speak the truth, and to act it out.
00:34:54.300 That's what it means to believe.
00:34:55.820 That's what it means.
00:34:59.160 It doesn't mean to state it.
00:35:02.480 It means to act it out.
00:35:05.500 And unless you act it out, you should be very careful about claiming it.
00:35:10.720 And so I've never been comfortable saying anything other than,
00:35:15.300 I try to act as if God exists.
00:35:17.740 Because God only knows what you'd be if you truly believed.
00:35:21.820 I mean, if you think about it in some sense,
00:35:26.240 that's the central idea in Christianity,
00:35:28.780 is that if you were capable of believing,
00:35:31.560 it would be a transfiguring event.
00:35:34.380 A truly transfiguring event.
00:35:36.400 And I know people experience that to one degree or another.
00:35:39.120 But we have no idea what the limit of that is.
00:35:41.340 And we have no idea what the possibility is within each person
00:35:45.280 if they lived a life that was maximally courageous and maximally truthful.
00:35:51.880 You know, because maybe you're running at 60% or 70% or 20%
00:35:56.140 and at cross purposes to yourself.
00:35:59.420 God only knows what you'd be if you believed.
00:36:02.360 And so, well, I act, I try to act like I believe.
00:36:10.160 But I never claim that I manage it.
00:36:12.880 Because it's too, it's a lot to manage properly.
00:36:18.460 And you have to be careful about claiming to manage things that you can't manage.
00:36:24.200 And so, that's part of the answer to that question.
00:36:27.820 It's a great answer as it happens.
00:36:29.440 I'd like you to react to something that is very operative in my life.
00:36:42.180 I just, and if you, I always tell people on my radio show,
00:36:47.200 totally feel free to say,
00:36:49.760 sorry, I really don't find that tenable.
00:36:53.040 Or whatever you, however you want to react.
00:36:54.680 My route as an adult to God has been completely circuitous.
00:37:02.220 I have come through the back door.
00:37:05.480 As I wrote 25 years ago,
00:37:07.660 How I Found God at Columbia,
00:37:10.260 I realized in the 70s at graduate school at Columbia
00:37:13.560 that I was being taught nonsense.
00:37:15.640 Literally nonsense.
00:37:16.700 Things that made no sense.
00:37:17.880 And it drove me crazy because they were all bright.
00:37:22.000 Bright people taught me nonsense.
00:37:24.680 One day, walking through Columbia,
00:37:27.600 the only time I ever had,
00:37:29.000 I wouldn't say, I never had a theophany,
00:37:30.880 but I did have an epiphany.
00:37:33.080 All of a sudden,
00:37:34.080 one of the verses from my yeshiva education in Brooklyn, New York,
00:37:38.620 the cloistered, orthodox world of my childhood,
00:37:40.920 and I don't use cloistered,
00:37:42.080 and I don't like cloistered,
00:37:43.300 but I'm not using it in a pejorative way.
00:37:44.840 I'm just explaining what I had.
00:37:47.240 And all of a sudden,
00:37:48.380 one of the verses that we said every morning
00:37:50.900 in kindergarten, first grade, and second grade,
00:37:53.660 for the first time since second grade,
00:37:55.500 came to my brain.
00:37:56.340 Rishit Chachma Yirad Adonai.
00:37:58.220 Wisdom begins with fear of the Lord.
00:38:01.620 Changed my life.
00:38:03.360 There's no wisdom at Columbia
00:38:04.740 because there's no God at Columbia.
00:38:07.380 And that has been,
00:38:09.260 that is one of the ways I knew,
00:38:10.980 oh, without God, look what happens.
00:38:13.900 Without God, look what happens morally,
00:38:16.080 intellectually, in terms of wisdom.
00:38:18.360 And I, my biggest reasons for belief in God
00:38:21.760 are watching what happens when people don't.
00:38:25.500 So, I'd love to have your reaction.
00:38:30.260 Is it C.S. Lewis?
00:38:31.900 Was it C.S. Lewis who said that
00:38:33.740 if you cease to believe in God,
00:38:40.600 you'll start to believe in anything?
00:38:42.900 That was the British guy.
00:38:45.100 Chesterton.
00:38:45.580 Yeah, Chesterton.
00:38:46.120 Thank you.
00:38:46.460 Well, that's a good way of looking at it.
00:38:53.120 I mean, if,
00:38:55.280 Catholicism, you know,
00:38:56.980 I've gone through lots of Catholic cathedrals in Europe,
00:39:00.500 and of course,
00:39:01.280 there's stunning creations,
00:39:03.020 but they're Gothic and strange,
00:39:05.500 and the doctrine is eerie
00:39:07.800 and complex
00:39:11.720 and surreal.
00:39:15.600 And the biblical writings are the same.
00:39:20.140 You think of a book like Revelation, for example.
00:39:23.100 But I think that the Catholicism,
00:39:27.140 that's as sane as people can get.
00:39:30.540 You know,
00:39:31.000 broadly speaking,
00:39:32.660 is that
00:39:33.040 we need a metaphysic,
00:39:36.320 a narrative metaphysic,
00:39:37.540 to hold us together.
00:39:39.480 And it has to be
00:39:40.820 predicated on something
00:39:42.600 that's transcendent and absolute.
00:39:45.740 And if you lose that,
00:39:47.440 then you'll fall for something else.
00:39:49.800 You'll fall for something else.
00:39:51.320 Or you'll fall for nothing,
00:39:53.600 which is no better.
00:39:56.740 And I learned that from reading Nietzsche,
00:39:58.800 and I learned that from reading Dostoevsky.
00:40:01.460 And this is the problem with the rationalists,
00:40:03.680 like Sam Harris
00:40:04.760 and the atheists,
00:40:08.040 Dawkins.
00:40:09.300 You know,
00:40:09.520 they believe that
00:40:10.240 if we dispensed with our superstitions,
00:40:13.060 we'd all become
00:40:13.900 Harris and Dawkins.
00:40:18.560 Rational beings,
00:40:20.200 devoted towards the good,
00:40:23.620 however,
00:40:24.160 we conceptualize that
00:40:25.220 for rational reasons.
00:40:26.360 And I don't believe that
00:40:28.100 because I don't believe
00:40:29.120 that we are irrational beings fundamentally.
00:40:31.400 I think we're deeply irrational.
00:40:33.040 It's amazing
00:40:33.520 that we can all sit in this room together
00:40:35.320 without tearing ourselves into shreds.
00:40:37.820 And I mean that.
00:40:39.020 It's really quite a remarkable thing
00:40:41.140 that all of us
00:40:42.320 who've come from all over North America
00:40:45.500 can sit here
00:40:46.640 so peacefully
00:40:47.680 and concentrate on a single thing
00:40:49.840 without any tension or trouble.
00:40:52.660 The improbability of that
00:40:54.480 should not be underestimated.
00:40:56.680 The unlikelihood
00:40:58.260 that that might be the case.
00:40:59.580 And then
00:41:02.020 the issue of God as well
00:41:04.140 is that
00:41:04.560 there has to be something
00:41:05.980 of fundamental worth.
00:41:08.760 There is something
00:41:09.900 that you consider
00:41:10.780 of fundamental worth.
00:41:13.240 You know,
00:41:13.520 I think that
00:41:15.300 regard for other people,
00:41:17.920 for the consciousness
00:41:18.800 of other people,
00:41:19.660 for the conscious being
00:41:20.780 of other people
00:41:21.540 is
00:41:22.480 in that realm.
00:41:27.000 If you're going to
00:41:28.200 have a relationship
00:41:30.220 with yourself,
00:41:30.920 if you're going to be able
00:41:31.680 to love someone else,
00:41:33.020 if you're going to be able
00:41:33.820 to take care of your family
00:41:34.860 and your community,
00:41:35.920 you have to
00:41:37.320 attribute to human beings
00:41:39.400 a value that
00:41:43.140 might as well be described
00:41:46.140 as divine
00:41:46.760 given that it has to be
00:41:48.340 the ultimate value
00:41:49.700 that you hold.
00:41:50.460 And I see,
00:41:53.340 it seems to me
00:41:54.480 that it's not unreasonable
00:41:55.720 to associate that value
00:41:57.460 that is intrinsic
00:41:59.480 in humanity
00:42:00.280 with something
00:42:01.500 that's of metaphysically,
00:42:03.900 that's metaphysically real,
00:42:06.260 that's part of the structure
00:42:07.500 of reality itself.
00:42:10.620 And my sense
00:42:12.500 has been
00:42:13.040 that
00:42:13.900 it's,
00:42:17.040 it makes
00:42:18.160 if you watch
00:42:22.800 how people act
00:42:23.760 when they're acting
00:42:24.500 properly,
00:42:26.320 the hypothesis
00:42:27.320 that there is
00:42:28.640 divinity within us
00:42:31.100 that reflects
00:42:32.220 divinity itself
00:42:34.580 is the only conclusion
00:42:37.280 that makes sense
00:42:38.360 that works.
00:42:40.740 And so I think
00:42:41.740 the evidence,
00:42:42.540 I think the evidence
00:42:43.800 suggests that.
00:42:44.740 you know,
00:42:45.960 you said,
00:42:46.460 you look,
00:42:47.000 look what happens
00:42:47.840 when societies
00:42:48.620 lose their bearings.
00:42:49.900 It's like,
00:42:51.100 yeah,
00:42:51.560 that's what convinced me
00:42:53.360 to the degree
00:42:54.340 that I became
00:42:54.940 a religious person.
00:42:56.400 I didn't,
00:42:57.040 wasn't as if
00:42:57.560 I discovered God,
00:42:58.620 it was more like
00:42:59.220 I discovered Satan,
00:43:00.560 I discovered the devil
00:43:01.600 and certainly believed
00:43:02.720 that very powerfully,
00:43:05.280 metaphysically or not.
00:43:06.580 You don't have to read
00:43:07.360 that much about
00:43:08.080 what happened
00:43:08.600 in Nazi Germany
00:43:09.380 or what happened
00:43:10.140 in the Soviet Union
00:43:11.680 or what happened
00:43:12.360 in Maoist China,
00:43:13.480 what continues to happen
00:43:14.620 in many places
00:43:15.340 around the world
00:43:16.020 to be convinced
00:43:17.200 that there's
00:43:18.000 a great darkness
00:43:19.060 and it seems to me
00:43:21.160 that if there's
00:43:21.700 a great darkness
00:43:22.440 then there has
00:43:23.560 to be a great light
00:43:24.580 and the first part
00:43:27.240 of that is
00:43:27.740 true beyond
00:43:30.340 any hope
00:43:31.520 of refutation
00:43:32.380 and the second
00:43:34.060 seems to be
00:43:34.880 a logical necessity
00:43:36.220 in the light
00:43:36.860 of the first.
00:43:37.520 It's a powerful line
00:43:39.820 that you,
00:43:41.020 I feel so obviously
00:43:42.880 the same.
00:43:44.160 I want to talk to you
00:43:45.040 about the darkness.
00:43:46.700 So I've often said
00:43:48.000 all of my life really
00:43:49.880 that we have
00:43:53.100 a wrong metaphor
00:43:53.900 in calling evil dark
00:43:55.520 because it's actually
00:43:57.360 so bright
00:43:58.340 that people can't
00:44:00.040 stare it in the face.
00:44:01.640 The number of Canadian
00:44:03.500 or American students
00:44:05.480 at the most prestigious
00:44:06.540 universities
00:44:07.380 who could identify
00:44:09.100 Pol Pot
00:44:09.780 or even the
00:44:11.320 Gulag Archipelago
00:44:12.540 let alone
00:44:13.600 the Great Leap Forward
00:44:14.760 in China
00:44:15.400 is so small.
00:44:17.700 The knowledge
00:44:18.500 of evil
00:44:18.980 it is now
00:44:19.900 up to over
00:44:20.640 a quarter
00:44:21.160 of kids
00:44:21.700 never heard of Auschwitz.
00:44:23.240 It'll be a half
00:44:24.080 very soon.
00:44:25.080 It will be
00:44:25.560 three quarters
00:44:26.200 in a generation.
00:44:27.880 They don't know evil.
00:44:29.020 I, at Berkeley
00:44:31.400 I was, had a dialogue
00:44:32.820 with two leftist students.
00:44:34.900 My last question
00:44:36.200 to them was
00:44:37.000 do you believe
00:44:37.680 people are basically
00:44:38.600 good?
00:44:39.500 And they said yes.
00:44:41.160 And I said
00:44:41.860 it's so demonstrably
00:44:44.080 wrong
00:44:44.480 that belief
00:44:45.240 that
00:44:46.340 there's only
00:44:47.140 one possible
00:44:48.120 explanation
00:44:48.860 for why you hold it
00:44:50.080 because you live
00:44:51.300 in such a good country.
00:44:52.480 Yeah, well that's the
00:44:55.060 that's the goodness
00:44:55.920 of naivete
00:44:56.840 right?
00:44:57.500 And it's something
00:44:58.820 that's
00:44:59.840 that's
00:45:00.840 encouraged
00:45:02.220 you know
00:45:03.920 you encourage that
00:45:04.760 by
00:45:05.140 producing safe spaces
00:45:08.640 around people
00:45:09.320 you produce that
00:45:10.160 by sheltering them
00:45:11.080 you want to preserve
00:45:12.460 that childlike
00:45:13.520 innocence
00:45:14.740 but once you're
00:45:15.640 no longer a child
00:45:16.480 it's not childlike
00:45:17.540 it's just childish
00:45:18.680 and
00:45:19.840 and that's
00:45:20.720 that's not good
00:45:21.580 to be a 40 year old child
00:45:22.980 and to think
00:45:24.140 that people are
00:45:24.740 fundamentally good
00:45:25.660 it's
00:45:26.680 it's not that
00:45:27.340 good is very difficult
00:45:29.000 it's by no means
00:45:31.600 the default position
00:45:32.620 what's the default position?
00:45:34.480 Entropy
00:45:34.960 catastrophe
00:45:36.020 tragedy
00:45:37.220 malevolence
00:45:38.260 and death
00:45:39.100 that's the default position
00:45:41.160 the good struggles
00:45:42.540 up against that
00:45:43.580 that's no easy thing
00:45:44.960 to manage
00:45:45.600 to think of that
00:45:46.800 as intrinsic
00:45:47.800 it's an intrinsic possibility
00:45:49.600 but it's not something
00:45:50.860 that you
00:45:51.320 it's not something
00:45:54.640 that
00:45:54.900 it's not something
00:45:59.880 that
00:46:00.120 you can manifest
00:46:01.540 without faith
00:46:02.420 and commitment
00:46:03.020 and
00:46:03.520 and the more faith
00:46:04.800 and the more commitment
00:46:05.540 the better
00:46:06.040 and the deeper
00:46:06.920 the better
00:46:07.420 and it's the most
00:46:08.420 difficult of things
00:46:09.460 to do
00:46:09.960 and
00:46:10.920 and it is
00:46:11.800 it's appalling
00:46:13.700 to teach people
00:46:15.040 the alternative
00:46:16.140 and I know
00:46:16.900 that speak
00:46:17.380 I can speak
00:46:18.380 of this clinically
00:46:19.820 you know
00:46:21.200 the people
00:46:23.020 who are most prone
00:46:23.920 to post-traumatic stress disorder
00:46:26.120 are naive people
00:46:27.280 and this is well known clinically
00:46:29.640 it's
00:46:30.140 there's nothing about this
00:46:31.320 that's
00:46:31.700 that's
00:46:32.700 that's
00:46:33.060 it's questionable
00:46:36.100 or
00:46:37.240 or unorthodox
00:46:38.820 if you believe
00:46:41.780 that people
00:46:42.180 are basically good
00:46:43.080 and that the world
00:46:44.140 rewards
00:46:45.500 goodness
00:46:46.440 with
00:46:46.820 good in return
00:46:48.060 if that's your
00:46:48.740 fundamental belief
00:46:49.700 that there's not really
00:46:51.140 any such thing
00:46:51.840 as evil
00:46:52.300 and you encounter
00:46:54.140 someone malevolent
00:46:55.340 which could be
00:46:56.560 yourself
00:46:57.080 well that's often
00:46:59.620 what happens to people
00:47:00.480 who develop
00:47:01.040 post-traumatic stress disorder
00:47:02.380 you know
00:47:02.680 they're
00:47:02.980 it's very common
00:47:04.360 that people
00:47:05.260 develop PTSD
00:47:07.060 because they've done something
00:47:08.600 so incomprehensibly
00:47:10.760 morally repugnant
00:47:12.180 that
00:47:12.800 it's damaged them
00:47:14.620 psychophysiologically
00:47:16.380 and they cannot recover
00:47:18.040 it's very common
00:47:19.740 among soldiers
00:47:20.480 it's not what they saw
00:47:22.240 although sometimes it is
00:47:23.860 it's what they did
00:47:25.580 they have no framework
00:47:27.860 within which to conceptualize it
00:47:29.720 if you have no
00:47:31.200 theory of evil
00:47:32.440 if you have no theory
00:47:33.440 of good and evil
00:47:34.180 if you have no metaphysics
00:47:35.560 and someone malevolent
00:47:37.260 touches you
00:47:38.000 you're done
00:47:39.340 and so
00:47:41.060 telling people that
00:47:43.460 human beings
00:47:45.020 are basically good
00:47:46.020 and that evil
00:47:46.540 doesn't exist
00:47:47.300 makes them
00:47:48.020 ripe fruit
00:47:50.020 for the picking
00:47:50.800 by the malevolent
00:47:51.920 and there's nothing
00:47:53.900 about that
00:47:54.480 that's positive
00:47:55.360 it's mere
00:47:56.700 cowardice
00:47:58.140 masquerading
00:47:58.920 as virtue
00:47:59.620 it's the devouring
00:48:01.160 mother
00:48:01.600 from the Freudian
00:48:02.880 perspective
00:48:03.480 I'll keep you innocent
00:48:05.000 I'll keep you young
00:48:06.460 and naive
00:48:07.000 and nothing will ever
00:48:08.340 come to harm you
00:48:09.320 it's like precisely
00:48:10.620 the opposite
00:48:11.300 is the case
00:48:12.180 in life
00:48:12.720 that is why
00:48:15.220 by the way
00:48:16.060 I truly
00:48:17.280 yep
00:48:17.900 that is why
00:48:24.800 I truly believe
00:48:26.820 that a 12 year old
00:48:28.480 at a traditional
00:48:29.800 Christian
00:48:30.340 or Jewish school
00:48:31.380 is wiser
00:48:32.860 and more likely
00:48:35.140 to be happy
00:48:35.920 than a secular
00:48:37.060 professor of philosophy
00:48:38.580 who is 50 years old
00:48:40.400 just because
00:48:42.120 I knew
00:48:42.940 I went again
00:48:43.900 to yeshiva
00:48:44.600 so half the day
00:48:46.100 in Hebrew
00:48:46.580 Jewish studies
00:48:47.360 half the day
00:48:47.920 in English
00:48:48.340 secular studies
00:48:49.260 I knew
00:48:50.260 at six
00:48:51.040 people were not
00:48:51.860 basically good
00:48:52.700 because God
00:48:53.400 said so
00:48:53.920 in Genesis
00:48:54.440 when he decided
00:48:55.720 to destroy the world
00:48:56.700 because it turned out
00:48:57.480 rotten
00:48:57.820 so I knew
00:48:59.420 at the earliest
00:49:00.380 possible age
00:49:01.420 people were not
00:49:02.100 basically good
00:49:02.780 and it not only
00:49:03.540 affected my
00:49:04.460 world view
00:49:05.960 it made me happy
00:49:07.220 because then I realized
00:49:08.580 wow
00:49:09.020 I'm meeting
00:49:09.880 good people
00:49:10.800 despite the fact
00:49:12.020 that people
00:49:12.840 are not basically good
00:49:13.880 I really do have
00:49:15.180 good people in my life
00:49:16.280 am I lucky
00:49:16.980 or what
00:49:17.460 yeah
00:49:18.920 yeah
00:49:19.220 well that's
00:49:19.860 a really good
00:49:20.680 that's a really good
00:49:21.640 point
00:49:21.960 because
00:49:22.380 you see
00:49:24.100 when I said
00:49:24.800 that it was a miracle
00:49:25.800 that we can all
00:49:26.460 sit here peacefully
00:49:27.340 like that is how
00:49:28.820 I look at it
00:49:29.580 I think every day
00:49:31.040 when I walk out
00:49:31.960 into the world
00:49:32.500 and it's not
00:49:33.080 rack and runes
00:49:34.660 and flames
00:49:35.360 and floods
00:49:36.060 that it's a bloody miracle
00:49:37.460 I mean it
00:49:39.040 that we hold this together
00:49:40.220 it's not an easy
00:49:41.220 thing to do
00:49:42.020 and peace
00:49:43.000 to think of peace
00:49:44.220 as the default position
00:49:45.520 is a form of
00:49:46.960 deep insanity
00:49:47.920 like
00:49:48.880 it's
00:49:49.600 it requires
00:49:51.040 work
00:49:51.860 to
00:49:52.380 to
00:49:52.960 to maintain
00:49:54.060 peace
00:49:54.720 and
00:49:55.640 you can't be
00:49:56.520 properly grateful
00:49:57.460 unless you
00:49:58.640 understand
00:49:59.240 how unlikely
00:50:01.100 it is
00:50:01.760 that
00:50:02.300 while we're not
00:50:04.100 in the throes
00:50:04.860 of world war three
00:50:05.840 we're not
00:50:07.040 still in the depths
00:50:08.200 of world war two
00:50:09.120 that the cold war
00:50:10.980 is mostly over
00:50:12.260 that the economic
00:50:13.840 conditions of people
00:50:15.000 everywhere on the planet
00:50:16.540 are improving
00:50:17.180 at a rate
00:50:17.740 that's
00:50:18.160 could only be
00:50:19.380 described as
00:50:20.020 miraculous
00:50:20.500 and that most things
00:50:22.220 are going in a
00:50:22.920 positive direction
00:50:23.840 if you assume
00:50:25.200 that that's
00:50:25.760 normative
00:50:26.260 then you think
00:50:27.280 well that's
00:50:28.120 life
00:50:28.540 but
00:50:28.920 and you have
00:50:30.100 no reason
00:50:30.580 to
00:50:30.840 to be
00:50:31.720 wide eyed
00:50:32.940 to have your
00:50:35.380 eyes
00:50:35.700 wide open
00:50:36.760 in admiration
00:50:37.600 and gratitude
00:50:38.380 at the fact
00:50:39.140 that
00:50:39.400 the worst
00:50:41.460 which is
00:50:41.900 frequently
00:50:42.380 manifested
00:50:43.100 itself
00:50:43.640 is not
00:50:44.860 knocking
00:50:46.180 at your
00:50:46.800 door
00:50:47.140 at this
00:50:47.820 moment
00:50:48.340 because
00:50:49.360 that's
00:50:50.060 the story
00:50:50.660 of humanity
00:50:51.380 and not
00:50:52.400 peace
00:50:52.920 and prosperity
00:50:53.700 so here
00:50:55.480 we have it
00:50:56.180 and here
00:50:56.880 we should
00:50:57.260 preserve it
00:50:57.960 and here
00:50:58.560 we should
00:50:58.940 spread it
00:50:59.720 we should
00:51:00.460 do everything
00:51:00.980 we can
00:51:01.480 to live
00:51:02.100 in a manner
00:51:02.880 that makes
00:51:03.420 that most
00:51:04.240 likely
00:51:04.720 and we
00:51:05.260 should do
00:51:05.640 that
00:51:06.020 because
00:51:07.140 well you
00:51:07.960 said
00:51:08.500 what did
00:51:09.000 you say
00:51:09.420 fear of
00:51:10.020 God
00:51:10.440 it's like
00:51:11.080 throughout
00:51:13.160 the old
00:51:13.600 testament
00:51:14.020 you know
00:51:14.460 it's one
00:51:15.020 story after
00:51:15.700 another
00:51:16.040 is that
00:51:16.540 people
00:51:16.980 develop societies
00:51:18.660 and they
00:51:19.040 become arrogant
00:51:19.720 and they
00:51:20.120 wander off
00:51:20.620 the path
00:51:21.120 and as
00:51:22.140 soon as
00:51:22.420 they wander
00:51:22.820 off the
00:51:23.200 path
00:51:23.520 all hell
00:51:24.240 breaks
00:51:24.680 loose
00:51:25.060 and
00:51:26.200 if
00:51:27.720 you're
00:51:28.300 fortunate
00:51:28.700 enough
00:51:29.220 to be
00:51:29.900 where all
00:51:30.540 hell
00:51:30.820 isn't
00:51:31.340 breaking
00:51:31.740 loose
00:51:32.200 you should
00:51:32.880 do
00:51:33.080 everything
00:51:33.500 you can
00:51:34.160 to help
00:51:35.200 ensure
00:51:35.660 that
00:51:36.020 we
00:51:37.100 stay the
00:51:38.080 course
00:51:38.420 and walk
00:51:39.200 the straight
00:51:39.780 and narrow
00:51:40.240 path
00:51:40.780 so
00:51:42.440 I have
00:51:43.260 a
00:51:43.480 so
00:51:50.160 I
00:51:50.620 have
00:51:50.800 a
00:51:50.920 very
00:51:51.140 deep
00:51:51.480 worry
00:51:51.860 in light
00:51:52.400 of
00:51:52.600 our
00:51:53.000 absolute
00:51:53.720 unanimity
00:51:56.660 if you could
00:51:57.180 speak of
00:51:57.600 unanimity
00:51:58.180 among two
00:51:58.700 people
00:51:59.100 but
00:51:59.600 we're so
00:52:01.220 consonant
00:52:01.720 in this
00:52:02.340 this is
00:52:03.500 shocking
00:52:03.900 how good
00:52:04.420 things
00:52:04.840 are
00:52:05.320 and yet
00:52:07.340 in the
00:52:07.960 United
00:52:08.260 States
00:52:08.840 and I
00:52:09.780 follow
00:52:10.280 Canada
00:52:10.740 a lot
00:52:11.240 but
00:52:11.860 let's
00:52:12.100 speak
00:52:12.400 about
00:52:12.640 America
00:52:13.080 right
00:52:13.400 now
00:52:13.760 in the
00:52:15.100 United
00:52:15.400 States
00:52:16.020 half
00:52:16.720 at least
00:52:17.380 half
00:52:17.800 of young
00:52:18.440 people
00:52:18.900 think
00:52:19.240 they are
00:52:19.560 living
00:52:19.800 in a
00:52:20.100 rotten
00:52:20.320 society
00:52:21.120 sexist
00:52:23.300 intolerant
00:52:23.900 xenophobic
00:52:24.480 homophobic
00:52:25.060 Islamophobic
00:52:25.820 racist
00:52:26.260 bigoted
00:52:26.740 that's
00:52:28.060 a six
00:52:28.460 herb
00:52:28.700 that's
00:52:28.980 my
00:52:29.180 acronym
00:52:29.580 for what
00:52:30.200 I just
00:52:30.580 said
00:52:30.920 this
00:52:32.680 is
00:52:33.300 frightening
00:52:33.880 to me
00:52:34.480 and
00:52:36.380 I
00:52:36.700 want to
00:52:37.160 know
00:52:37.460 is it
00:52:38.000 frightening
00:52:38.420 to you
00:52:39.060 well
00:52:43.060 you know
00:52:46.180 I always
00:52:46.520 try to
00:52:46.860 give the
00:52:47.180 devil
00:52:47.460 his due
00:52:48.060 and
00:52:50.040 the
00:52:50.380 idea
00:52:51.920 that
00:52:53.320 the
00:52:54.780 West
00:52:55.160 is a
00:52:55.840 oppressive
00:52:57.220 patriarchy
00:52:58.060 characterized
00:53:00.800 by the
00:53:01.720 sins
00:53:02.500 that you
00:53:02.920 just
00:53:03.200 described
00:53:03.820 is true
00:53:06.360 you
00:53:08.860 know
00:53:08.960 there's
00:53:09.320 if we
00:53:10.380 look
00:53:10.580 through
00:53:10.760 our
00:53:10.940 history
00:53:11.420 personal
00:53:12.360 or
00:53:12.740 political
00:53:13.620 there's
00:53:15.140 no
00:53:15.300 shortage
00:53:15.680 of
00:53:15.920 things
00:53:16.160 to be
00:53:16.460 appalled
00:53:16.800 by
00:53:17.160 but that's
00:53:19.620 not the
00:53:19.940 question
00:53:20.420 exactly
00:53:22.680 or that's
00:53:23.160 not the
00:53:23.480 issue
00:53:23.860 the issue
00:53:26.040 is compared
00:53:26.640 to what
00:53:27.200 no
00:53:29.280 it was
00:53:29.620 Churchill
00:53:30.120 this time
00:53:31.320 I've got
00:53:31.700 this right
00:53:32.260 it was
00:53:33.800 Churchill
00:53:34.140 who said
00:53:34.940 that democracy
00:53:35.600 is the worst
00:53:36.280 form of
00:53:36.720 government
00:53:37.100 except for
00:53:38.220 all the
00:53:38.500 other forms
00:53:39.040 of government
00:53:39.580 and I
00:53:41.240 would say
00:53:41.600 that about
00:53:42.040 our societies
00:53:42.780 is that
00:53:43.340 there's
00:53:45.360 no
00:53:45.620 we have
00:53:47.120 every reason
00:53:47.700 to be
00:53:48.040 awake
00:53:48.540 and
00:53:50.200 cognizant
00:53:50.900 of
00:53:51.300 our
00:53:52.240 errors
00:53:52.720 whether
00:53:55.900 they're
00:53:56.160 political
00:53:56.500 or economic
00:53:57.160 or personal
00:53:57.780 but
00:53:59.980 compared
00:54:02.500 to how
00:54:02.860 it could
00:54:03.240 be
00:54:03.620 and how
00:54:05.140 it has
00:54:05.520 been
00:54:05.860 in many
00:54:07.160 places
00:54:07.620 and how
00:54:08.060 it is
00:54:08.580 most
00:54:09.920 everywhere
00:54:10.940 in the
00:54:11.300 world
00:54:11.560 and how
00:54:12.200 it was
00:54:13.080 for much
00:54:13.920 of the
00:54:14.220 20th
00:54:14.620 century
00:54:14.980 things are
00:54:15.980 so good
00:54:16.420 here that
00:54:16.820 it's
00:54:17.020 absolutely
00:54:17.480 beyond
00:54:18.020 comprehension
00:54:18.640 and
00:54:19.960 so along
00:54:20.960 with that
00:54:21.500 careful
00:54:23.920 awareness
00:54:24.420 of the
00:54:25.020 flaws
00:54:25.480 of the
00:54:26.060 patriarchy
00:54:27.000 let's
00:54:27.700 say
00:54:27.940 should be
00:54:28.940 an
00:54:29.460 unbelievable
00:54:30.120 gratitude
00:54:30.760 that we
00:54:31.640 could wake
00:54:32.020 up in
00:54:32.480 the morning
00:54:32.840 and
00:54:33.080 the lights
00:54:34.460 are on
00:54:34.940 and the
00:54:36.640 freeways
00:54:37.640 are running
00:54:38.100 and there's
00:54:39.200 no starvation
00:54:40.080 directly
00:54:42.060 facing us
00:54:42.820 and
00:54:43.000 that our
00:54:44.400 children
00:54:44.760 will live
00:54:45.400 and that
00:54:46.640 the probability
00:54:47.340 that any
00:54:48.100 one of us
00:54:48.540 will die
00:54:49.200 a violent
00:54:49.680 death
00:54:50.020 is negligible
00:54:50.900 and
00:54:52.200 the thing
00:54:53.320 that bothers
00:54:53.780 me
00:54:54.180 about
00:54:55.480 one of the
00:54:56.320 things that
00:54:56.780 bothers me
00:54:57.280 about
00:54:57.560 the modern
00:54:58.340 university
00:55:00.480 is the
00:55:02.500 absolute
00:55:03.220 lack of
00:55:03.940 gratitude
00:55:04.380 that
00:55:04.800 characterizes
00:55:05.520 its
00:55:05.820 teachings
00:55:06.280 it's like
00:55:06.940 it's half
00:55:08.920 the story
00:55:09.640 you know
00:55:10.060 it's like
00:55:10.440 people are
00:55:11.260 oppressed
00:55:11.760 by nature
00:55:13.080 and people
00:55:14.800 are oppressed
00:55:15.360 by culture
00:55:16.160 and people
00:55:16.740 are oppressed
00:55:17.320 by their
00:55:17.720 own dark
00:55:18.400 side
00:55:20.320 it's an
00:55:21.280 existential
00:55:21.900 reality
00:55:22.560 but you
00:55:23.480 have to
00:55:23.940 you have
00:55:24.820 to balance
00:55:25.440 that
00:55:25.860 you have
00:55:26.240 to understand
00:55:26.860 that nature
00:55:27.940 has its benevolent
00:55:29.020 element
00:55:29.380 and that's
00:55:30.080 what's given
00:55:30.540 you life
00:55:31.040 and you have
00:55:31.500 to be grateful
00:55:32.120 for your culture
00:55:32.940 for everything
00:55:33.600 that is provided
00:55:34.400 to you
00:55:34.800 and you have
00:55:35.620 to understand
00:55:36.240 that people
00:55:36.720 can be good
00:55:37.360 as well as
00:55:38.200 adversarial
00:55:39.660 and malevolent
00:55:40.560 and you have
00:55:41.220 to be grateful
00:55:41.780 for that
00:55:42.260 and there's
00:55:42.620 damn
00:55:43.080 there's a
00:55:44.960 there's
00:55:45.800 there's a
00:55:46.560 there's a
00:55:47.960 damnable shortage
00:55:49.000 of gratitude
00:55:49.720 in the modern
00:55:52.040 academy
00:55:52.540 and that's
00:55:53.340 based on
00:55:53.900 a naivety
00:55:55.340 or a resentment
00:55:56.460 that's so deep
00:55:57.500 that it's almost
00:55:58.140 incomprehensible
00:55:58.780 a naivety
00:55:59.960 and a resentment
00:56:00.820 and a willful
00:56:02.160 blindness
00:56:02.660 to the reality
00:56:03.440 of history
00:56:03.960 that's so deep
00:56:04.880 that it's almost
00:56:05.640 incomprehensible
00:56:06.660 so
00:56:08.080 if
00:56:09.560 I'm going to ask you
00:56:10.440 it may be
00:56:11.600 you may
00:56:12.580 it may strike
00:56:13.320 you as absurd
00:56:13.880 but I'm going to
00:56:14.440 ask it anyway
00:56:15.140 except for
00:56:18.120 technical knowledge
00:56:19.640 like medicine
00:56:20.380 or engineering
00:56:21.440 mathematics
00:56:23.020 obviously
00:56:24.380 any of the
00:56:24.960 natural sciences
00:56:25.820 law
00:56:26.560 if nobody
00:56:28.700 went
00:56:29.120 if all
00:56:30.000 North Americans
00:56:31.000 graduating high school
00:56:33.020 decided

00:58:06.860 yeah taking
00:58:08.200 away the
00:58:08.640 stem fields
00:58:09.300 i think that
00:58:11.300 universities
00:58:12.000 not colleges
00:58:13.760 necessarily
00:58:14.480 i think that
00:58:17.120 universities do
00:58:17.920 more harm than
00:58:18.560 good now
00:58:19.040 that and i'm
00:58:20.560 very loath to
00:58:22.200 say that you
00:58:23.160 know because i've
00:58:23.800 been part of the
00:58:25.040 academy for 30
00:58:26.380 years and taught
00:58:27.740 great institutions
00:58:29.920 but the
00:58:32.420 the postmodern
00:58:35.860 collectivist
00:58:37.440 doctrine is so
00:58:38.760 psychologically
00:58:41.320 and politically
00:58:42.160 toxic
00:58:42.680 that i think
00:58:45.340 that
00:58:46.720 academia now
00:58:49.580 does more
00:58:50.140 harm than
00:58:50.640 good
00:58:50.920 and it's not
00:58:53.620 only what it
00:58:54.180 teaches which is
00:58:55.320 the ideology
00:58:55.960 this ungrateful
00:58:57.320 ideology which
00:58:58.760 denies the
00:58:59.700 existence of the
00:59:00.560 individual
00:59:01.000 one of the
00:59:03.440 things i might
00:59:03.940 tell you just
00:59:04.720 so you know
00:59:05.280 this is that
00:59:06.060 you know that
00:59:08.140 you hear that
00:59:09.640 there are debates
00:59:10.220 about free
00:59:11.140 speech on
00:59:11.660 campus
00:59:12.100 about who
00:59:13.880 should talk
00:59:14.380 and who
00:59:14.640 shouldn't
00:59:15.120 and people
00:59:15.640 think that's
00:59:16.120 what the
00:59:16.360 debate is
00:59:16.780 about
00:59:17.040 about who
00:59:18.160 should talk
00:59:18.760 and who
00:59:19.340 shouldn't
00:59:19.760 but that's
00:59:20.600 not what
00:59:20.900 the debate
00:59:21.260 is about
00:59:21.960 that you're
00:59:23.320 not even
00:59:23.580 scraping the
00:59:24.160 surface of
00:59:24.640 the debate
00:59:25.060 if that's
00:59:25.460 what you
00:59:25.700 think it's
00:59:26.060 about
00:59:26.300 the debate
00:59:28.640 on campus
00:59:29.200 is about
00:59:29.640 whether or
00:59:30.340 not a
00:59:31.100 human being
00:59:31.760 has the
00:59:32.400 capacity
00:59:33.020 to communicate
00:59:34.320 intelligibly
00:59:35.720 as an
00:59:36.220 individual
00:59:36.680 or not
00:59:37.520 and the
00:59:38.940 answer
00:59:39.340 for the
00:59:40.380 post-modernist
00:59:41.180 collective types
00:59:42.040 is that
00:59:42.440 there is
00:59:43.280 no such
00:59:44.020 thing
00:59:44.520 as an
00:59:45.060 individual
00:59:45.560 and therefore
00:59:47.320 the very
00:59:47.760 notion
00:59:48.320 of free
00:59:48.920 speech
00:59:49.260 is absurd
00:59:49.960 because free
00:59:51.240 speech is
00:59:51.840 predicated on
00:59:52.540 the idea
00:59:52.980 that each
00:59:53.460 of us
00:59:53.760 have something
00:59:54.440 to say
00:59:55.000 that's
00:59:55.380 ours
00:59:55.880 that's
00:59:56.520 a consequence
00:59:57.060 of our
00:59:57.500 unique
00:59:57.900 individuality
00:59:58.800 not our
00:59:59.420 group
00:59:59.720 identity
01:00:00.220 or
01:00:00.620 the
01:00:01.100 multiplicity
01:00:01.760 of our
01:00:02.020 group
01:00:02.220 identities
01:00:02.660 but
01:00:02.980 something
01:00:03.660 that
01:00:03.980 we have
01:00:06.820 that speaks
01:00:07.380 from our
01:00:07.860 spirit
01:00:08.460 that can
01:00:09.400 speak to
01:00:09.920 the spirit
01:00:10.380 of another
01:00:10.920 and produce
01:00:11.980 a negotiated
01:00:13.060 peace
01:00:14.340 and that's
01:00:16.240 what's
01:00:16.720 being debated
01:00:18.020 that the
01:00:19.900 war that's
01:00:20.620 going on
01:00:21.280 philosophically
01:00:22.340 or theologically
01:00:23.580 in the campuses
01:00:24.460 is far deeper
01:00:25.460 than you think
01:00:26.500 the entire
01:00:28.320 notion of
01:00:29.220 the reality
01:00:31.280 of the
01:00:31.940 individual
01:00:32.440 which is I
01:00:33.300 think also
01:00:33.880 the entire
01:00:34.580 notion of
01:00:35.280 the idea
01:00:36.580 that human
01:00:37.680 beings are
01:00:38.200 made in the
01:00:38.660 image of
01:00:39.040 God most
01:00:39.680 fundamentally
01:00:40.260 that is
01:00:41.900 what's being
01:00:42.520 attacked
01:00:43.180 it wasn't
01:00:43.800 for nothing
01:00:44.620 that
01:00:44.940 Derrida
01:00:45.560 called
01:00:47.360 western
01:00:48.080 culture
01:00:48.560 phallogocentric
01:00:50.320 phallus
01:00:51.260 for masculine
01:00:52.300 logos
01:00:52.860 for logos
01:00:53.840 for truth
01:00:55.140 and courage
01:00:55.820 and centric
01:00:56.680 for centric
01:00:57.500 that was a
01:00:58.280 criticism
01:00:58.740 from his
01:00:59.360 perspective
01:00:59.980 the idea
01:01:01.560 of the
01:01:01.940 sovereignty
01:01:02.340 of the
01:01:02.760 individual
01:01:03.300 if you
01:01:04.220 don't have
01:01:04.740 the idea
01:01:05.160 of the
01:01:05.460 sovereignty
01:01:05.780 of the
01:01:06.120 individual
01:01:06.540 because
01:01:06.800 there's
01:01:07.000 no
01:01:07.140 individual
01:01:07.600 there's
01:01:07.980 no
01:01:08.140 free
01:01:08.440 speech
01:01:08.980 all you
01:01:10.200 are
01:01:10.420 is an
01:01:10.700 avatar
01:01:11.040 of your
01:01:11.640 group
01:01:11.920 interests
01:01:12.500 and if
01:01:13.480 I'm not
01:01:14.240 in your
01:01:14.680 group
01:01:14.980 it's not
01:01:15.540 in my
01:01:15.920 interest
01:01:16.280 to let
01:01:16.740 you
01:01:16.980 speak
01:01:17.440 there's
01:01:18.680 nothing
01:01:19.040 that we
01:01:19.380 have to
01:01:19.680 say to
01:01:19.980 one another
01:01:20.440 there's
01:01:21.120 nothing
01:01:21.500 but
01:01:21.760 power
01:01:22.240 it's a
01:01:23.020 Hobbesian
01:01:23.540 nightmare
01:01:24.080 of group
01:01:25.020 against
01:01:25.400 group
01:01:25.880 and that's
01:01:27.780 the postmodern
01:01:28.500 doctrine
01:01:29.040 and so
01:01:30.620 it's
01:01:31.440 to call it
01:01:32.100 appalling
01:01:32.580 is to
01:01:33.000 barely
01:01:33.260 scrape
01:01:33.720 the
01:01:33.960 surface
01:01:34.380 it's
01:01:35.260 it's
01:01:35.560 an
01:01:35.720 assault
01:01:36.260 it is
01:01:36.940 it is
01:01:37.540 truly
01:01:38.260 an
01:01:39.080 assault
01:01:39.500 on the
01:01:39.920 most
01:01:40.280 fundamental
01:01:40.960 principles
01:01:41.580 by which
01:01:42.240 the west
01:01:42.740 is
01:01:43.260 governed
01:01:43.600 it's
01:01:44.660 not
01:01:45.200 surface
01:01:46.640 level
01:01:47.020 philosophy
01:01:47.660 it goes
01:01:48.920 all the
01:01:49.560 way
01:01:49.760 to
01:01:49.960 the
01:01:50.120 bottom
01:01:50.460 this
01:01:51.920 is
01:01:52.080 partly
01:01:52.380 why
01:01:52.600 I've
01:01:52.740 been
01:01:52.860 concentrating
01:01:53.380 on
01:01:53.600 religious
01:01:53.980 themes
01:01:54.360 in my
01:01:54.860 lectures
01:01:56.420 let's
01:01:56.860 say
01:01:57.080 because
01:01:58.180 the argument
01:01:59.360 goes all
01:01:59.920 the way
01:02:00.180 down
01:02:00.460 to
01:02:00.660 first
01:02:00.940 principles
01:02:01.520 is
01:02:05.280 is
01:02:05.300 there
01:02:05.620 is
01:02:06.780 the
01:02:07.120 idea
01:02:08.520 of
01:02:08.880 the
01:02:09.100 sovereignty
01:02:09.580 of
01:02:09.960 the
01:02:10.160 individual
01:02:10.780 correct
01:02:12.400 the
01:02:15.340 western
01:02:15.720 answer
01:02:16.120 is
01:02:16.440 it's
01:02:16.680 the
01:02:16.820 great
01:02:17.220 discovery
01:02:17.700 of
01:02:17.920 the
01:02:18.040 west
01:02:18.280 the
01:02:18.500 western
01:02:18.840 answer
01:02:19.240 is
01:02:19.500 that's
01:02:20.100 the
01:02:20.320 most
01:02:20.560 fundamental
01:02:21.080 truth
01:02:21.600 that
01:02:22.220 is
01:02:22.380 exactly
01:02:23.040 what's
01:02:23.420 under
01:02:23.680 assault
01:02:24.080 at
01:02:24.320 the
01:02:24.460 universities
01:02:24.880 the
01:02:25.440 reason
01:02:25.840 that
01:02:26.140 the
01:02:26.320 collectivist
01:02:26.900 types
01:02:27.200 hate
01:02:27.700 me
01:02:28.020 is
01:02:29.040 because
01:02:29.280 I've
01:02:29.720 got
01:02:30.020 their
01:02:30.280 number
01:02:30.760 I
01:02:31.920 know
01:02:32.320 what
01:02:32.660 they're
01:02:32.880 up
01:02:33.100 to
01:02:33.360 and
01:02:41.740 I
01:02:41.940 think
01:02:42.220 I
01:02:42.820 think
01:02:43.080 further
01:02:43.540 that
01:02:43.920 they
01:02:46.720 do
01:02:47.000 not
01:02:47.300 wish
01:02:47.640 to
01:02:47.900 shoulder
01:02:48.260 the
01:02:48.620 unbearable
01:02:49.560 responsibility
01:02:50.380 of
01:02:51.420 being
01:02:51.880 a
01:02:52.520 sovereign
01:02:52.860 individual
01:02:53.480 so
01:02:55.420 not
01:02:55.720 only
01:02:56.080 is
01:02:56.740 it
01:02:57.000 and
01:03:02.780 that
01:03:02.980 accounts
01:03:03.380 for
01:03:03.580 the
01:03:03.740 cowardice
01:03:04.360 and
01:03:05.020 that
01:03:05.180 accounts
01:03:05.560 for
01:03:05.780 the
01:03:05.920 attempt
01:03:06.240 to
01:03:06.480 weaken
01:03:06.840 the
01:03:07.140 spirit
01:03:07.520 of
01:03:07.740 the
01:03:07.880 people
01:03:08.140 that
01:03:08.360 they're
01:03:08.560 teaching
01:03:08.920 by
01:03:09.460 over
01:03:09.800 protecting
01:03:10.300 them
01:03:10.580 they're
01:03:12.540 not
01:03:12.920 willing
01:03:13.200 to
01:03:13.400 take
01:03:13.620 on
01:03:13.780 the
01:03:13.940 responsibility
01:03:14.700 and
01:03:16.120 the
01:03:16.380 fault
01:03:16.960 has
01:03:17.300 to
01:03:17.500 lie
01:03:17.700 elsewhere
01:03:18.160 and
01:03:19.100 I
01:03:19.260 think
01:03:19.440 that's
01:03:19.720 a
01:03:19.820 good
01:03:19.960 judge
01:03:20.300 of
01:03:20.540 someone
01:03:21.540 someone's
01:03:23.260 character
01:03:23.680 in
01:03:23.940 general
01:03:24.320 it's
01:03:24.700 like
01:03:24.960 well
01:03:26.940 the
01:03:27.240 world
01:03:27.480 is
01:03:27.680 in
01:03:27.800 a
01:03:27.900 messy
01:03:28.160 state
01:03:28.580 let's
01:03:28.940 say
01:03:29.160 and
01:03:31.640 the
01:03:31.760 question
01:03:32.060 is
01:03:32.320 whose
01:03:32.520 fault
01:03:32.880 is
01:03:33.120 it
01:03:33.600 and
01:03:34.040 the
01:03:34.160 answer
01:03:34.420 is
01:03:34.780 yours
01:03:36.660 that's
01:03:38.920 the
01:03:39.040 right
01:03:39.240 answer
01:03:39.620 it's
01:03:41.080 not
01:03:41.340 the
01:03:42.180 patriarchy
01:03:42.800 it's
01:03:43.080 not
01:03:43.380 some
01:03:45.140 identifiable
01:03:45.860 group
01:03:46.360 it's
01:03:46.600 not
01:03:46.760 some
01:03:47.040 structure
01:03:47.660 that's
01:03:48.480 gone
01:03:48.680 wrong
01:03:48.980 even
01:03:49.180 though
01:03:49.480 those
01:03:50.040 things
01:03:50.280 can
01:03:50.480 go
01:03:50.660 wrong
01:03:51.040 and
01:03:52.220 that's
01:03:52.460 the
01:03:52.560 other
01:03:52.760 fundamental
01:03:53.340 truth
01:03:54.440 of
01:03:54.600 the
01:03:54.740 West
01:03:55.060 is
01:03:56.820 that
01:03:57.100 things
01:03:58.260 would
01:03:58.460 be
01:03:58.620 a
01:03:58.780 lot
01:03:58.940 better
01:03:59.240 if
01:03:59.440 you
01:03:59.600 were
01:03:59.780 a
01:03:59.920 lot
01:04:00.120 better
01:04:00.480 and
01:04:01.980 you
01:04:02.080 have
01:04:02.300 to
01:04:02.460 decide
01:04:02.860 if
01:04:03.120 you're
01:04:03.380 willing
01:04:03.620 to
01:04:03.840 accept
01:04:04.220 that
01:04:04.600 and
01:04:04.940 you
01:04:05.900 have
01:04:06.160 every
01:04:06.400 reason
01:04:06.680 not
01:04:07.000 to
01:04:07.240 it's
01:04:07.680 a
01:04:07.820 terrible
01:04:08.180 thought
01:04:08.760 Solzhenitsyn
01:04:12.780 I think
01:04:13.220 this is a
01:04:14.260 paraphrase
01:04:14.800 but
01:04:15.160 it's
01:04:15.340 close
01:04:15.580 enough
01:04:15.920 he said
01:04:16.360 that
01:04:16.520 one
01:04:16.700 person
01:04:17.000 who
01:04:17.160 stopped
01:04:17.440 lying
01:04:17.760 could
01:04:17.960 bring
01:04:18.160 down
01:04:18.360 a
01:04:18.520 tyranny
01:04:18.860 when I
01:04:20.800 first
01:04:21.060 read
01:04:21.280 that
01:04:21.500 I
01:04:21.640 thought
01:04:21.860 that
01:04:22.060 can't
01:04:22.380 possibly
01:04:22.780 be
01:04:23.020 true
01:04:23.240 and
01:04:23.440 as
01:04:23.740 I
01:04:23.880 understood
01:04:24.240 it
01:04:24.460 I
01:04:24.620 thought
01:04:24.880 that
01:04:25.100 can't
01:04:25.500 possibly
01:04:25.980 not
01:04:26.380 be
01:04:26.660 true
01:04:26.960 because
01:04:27.960 the
01:04:28.700 only
01:04:28.880 thing
01:04:29.140 that
01:04:29.340 can
01:04:29.600 break
01:04:30.720 the
01:04:30.960 spine
01:04:31.300 of
01:04:31.440 a
01:04:31.560 tyranny
01:04:31.880 is
01:04:32.100 the
01:04:32.260 truth
01:04:32.660 and
01:04:32.880 the
01:04:33.020 only
01:04:33.240 way
01:04:36.760 that
01:04:37.000 the
01:04:37.180 truth
01:04:37.420 can
01:04:37.620 be
01:04:37.780 told
01:04:38.040 is
01:04:38.200 that
01:04:38.400 some
01:04:38.640 individual
01:04:39.120 tells
01:04:39.580 it
01:04:39.820 and
01:04:40.720 so
01:04:40.840 it's
01:04:41.020 necessarily
01:04:41.620 the
01:04:41.860 case
01:04:42.120 that
01:04:42.360 tyranny
01:04:42.720 is
01:04:42.920 broken
01:04:43.220 by
01:04:43.460 the
01:04:43.640 truth
01:04:43.900 of
01:04:44.040 the
01:04:44.180 individual
01:04:44.640 but
01:04:48.860 it's
01:04:49.600 no
01:04:49.940 trivial
01:04:50.440 thing
01:04:50.900 you
01:04:51.460 know
01:04:51.540 people
01:04:51.800 come
01:04:52.060 and
01:04:52.220 tell
01:04:52.400 me
01:04:52.700 very
01:04:54.040 frequently
01:04:54.560 and
01:04:55.420 they
01:04:55.540 write
01:04:55.800 me
01:04:56.000 and
01:04:56.140 they
01:04:56.280 say
01:04:56.460 well
01:04:56.700 you
01:04:56.900 know
01:04:57.040 I
01:04:57.740 agree
01:04:57.980 with
01:04:58.160 what
01:04:58.320 you
01:04:58.460 say
01:04:58.700 and
01:04:58.840 this
01:04:59.000 terrible
01:04:59.280 thing
01:04:59.540 is
01:04:59.680 happening
01:04:59.980 in
01:05:00.120 my
01:05:00.260 workplace
01:05:00.600 and
01:05:00.960 you
01:05:01.540 know
01:05:01.680 I
01:05:02.400 don't
01:05:02.560 know
01:05:02.680 what
01:05:02.820 to
01:05:02.960 do
01:05:03.100 about
01:05:03.340 it
01:05:03.460 and
01:05:03.580 I
01:05:03.700 don't
01:05:03.920 want
01:05:04.140 you
01:05:04.260 to
01:05:04.440 make
01:05:05.080 my
01:05:05.300 story
01:05:05.560 public
01:05:05.960 and
01:05:06.220 because
01:05:06.840 of
01:05:07.020 the
01:05:07.180 potential
01:05:07.580 for
01:05:07.820 repercussions
01:05:08.440 and
01:05:08.680 I
01:05:08.820 think
01:05:09.060 yeah
01:05:09.300 well
01:05:09.520 I
01:05:09.680 mean
01:05:09.820 I
01:05:09.980 understand
01:05:10.620 your
01:05:10.920 position
01:05:11.380 it's
01:05:11.820 no
01:05:12.060 joke
01:05:12.400 to
01:05:12.640 it's
01:05:13.800 no
01:05:13.980 joke
01:05:14.260 to
01:05:14.480 stand
01:05:14.780 up
01:05:15.020 when
01:05:15.260 when
01:05:15.920 when
01:05:16.480 the
01:05:16.720 when
01:05:17.740 the
01:05:17.960 when
01:05:18.480 the
01:05:18.620 amateur
01:05:19.040 totalitarians
01:05:20.060 are knocking
01:05:20.560 on your
01:05:20.980 office
01:05:21.320 door
01:05:21.700 but
01:05:23.700 if
01:05:23.840 you
01:05:24.000 don't
01:05:24.400 then
01:05:24.700 sooner
01:05:25.520 sooner
01:05:26.560 than
01:05:26.800 you
01:05:26.960 think
01:05:27.200 it'll
01:05:27.380 be
01:05:27.500 the
01:05:27.680 professional
01:05:28.180 totalitarians
01:05:29.180 and
01:05:29.400 then
01:05:30.000 you'll
01:05:30.180 be
01:05:30.300 in
01:05:30.440 the
01:05:30.560 sort
01:05:30.740 of
01:05:30.860 trouble
01:05:31.160 that
01:05:31.440 that
01:05:32.200 unless
01:05:33.140 you've
01:05:33.480 tried
01:05:33.760 to
01:05:33.960 imagine
01:05:34.380 it
01:05:34.580 you
01:05:34.760 can't
01:05:35.100 possibly
01:05:35.580 imagine
01:05:36.100 so
01:05:37.540 in
01:05:38.440 the
01:05:38.680 minutes
01:05:39.640 remaining
01:05:40.160 I'm
01:05:41.860 going
01:05:41.960 to
01:05:42.160 ask
01:05:42.940 a few
01:05:43.220 personal
01:05:43.660 questions
01:05:44.320 as
01:05:46.120 I
01:05:46.260 did
01:05:46.480 with
01:05:47.260 the
01:05:47.420 late
01:05:47.640 great
01:05:47.980 Charles
01:05:48.280 Krauthammer
01:05:48.940 at
01:05:49.720 one
01:05:49.980 of
01:05:50.100 our
01:05:50.300 weekends
01:05:50.840 because
01:05:53.500 people
01:05:53.960 like
01:05:54.300 including
01:05:55.260 me
01:05:55.600 just
01:05:55.980 fascinated
01:05:56.580 so
01:05:57.200 here's
01:05:57.520 one
01:05:57.840 what
01:05:59.600 was
01:05:59.760 the
01:05:59.900 city
01:06:00.140 in
01:06:00.300 Alberta
01:06:00.640 you
01:06:00.880 grew
01:06:01.060 up
01:06:01.220 in
01:06:01.420 well
01:06:02.580 it
01:06:02.720 wasn't
01:06:03.020 a
01:06:03.220 city
01:06:03.600 exactly
01:06:04.700 it
01:06:05.120 was
01:06:05.280 a
01:06:05.380 little
01:06:05.560 town
01:06:06.020 it
01:06:06.620 was
01:06:06.740 called
01:06:07.000 it's
01:06:07.180 called
01:06:07.420 Fairview
01:06:08.020 it's
01:06:09.600 about
01:06:09.800 800
01:06:10.160 miles
01:06:10.580 north
01:06:10.900 of
01:06:11.080 the
01:06:11.260 American
01:06:11.580 border
01:06:12.020 so
01:06:12.760 it's
01:06:13.340 a
01:06:13.440 long
01:06:13.620 ways
01:06:13.900 up
01:06:14.120 there
01:06:14.440 right
01:06:14.900 so
01:06:16.420 how
01:06:16.760 often
01:06:17.380 if at
01:06:17.980 all
01:06:18.400 do
01:06:19.560 you
01:06:19.800 think
01:06:20.280 when
01:06:21.460 people
01:06:21.800 stop
01:06:22.160 you
01:06:22.300 at
01:06:22.460 airports
01:06:22.940 and
01:06:23.400 go
01:06:23.900 around
01:06:24.140 the
01:06:24.320 world
01:06:24.620 lecturing
01:06:25.320 Jordan
01:06:28.200 Peterson
01:06:28.860 from
01:06:29.260 Fairview
01:06:29.880 it's
01:06:30.900 hard
01:06:31.060 to
01:06:31.240 believe
01:06:31.680 does
01:06:32.880 that
01:06:33.060 happen
01:06:33.420 well
01:06:34.900 I
01:06:35.080 live
01:06:35.300 I
01:06:35.660 live
01:06:35.920 in
01:06:36.020 a
01:06:36.140 constant
01:06:36.480 state
01:06:36.840 of
01:06:37.000 disbelief
01:06:37.720 I
01:06:38.160 mean
01:06:38.440 I'm
01:06:39.680 dead
01:06:40.220 serious
01:06:40.680 about
01:06:40.940 this
01:06:41.180 like
01:06:41.360 I
01:06:41.500 think
01:06:41.680 it's
01:06:41.840 a
01:06:41.980 form
01:06:42.220 of
01:06:42.380 post
01:06:42.700 traumatic
01:06:43.120 shock
01:06:44.780 in
01:06:45.260 some
01:06:45.500 sense
01:06:45.880 I
01:06:46.720 mean
01:06:46.820 my
01:06:46.980 life
01:06:47.280 in
01:06:47.420 the
01:06:47.540 last
01:06:47.760 three
01:06:48.040 years
01:06:48.440 has
01:06:49.120 been
01:06:49.420 just
01:06:50.800 a
01:06:51.360 continual
01:06:52.480 series
01:06:53.000 of
01:06:53.300 surreal
01:06:54.180 impossibilities
01:06:55.660 I
01:06:56.540 mean
01:06:56.780 on
01:06:58.020 the
01:06:58.140 one
01:06:58.340 hand
01:06:58.720 I
01:07:00.020 have
01:07:00.140 been
01:07:00.320 involved
01:07:00.760 in
01:07:01.000 a
01:07:01.160 political
01:07:01.480 scandal
01:07:02.100 of
01:07:02.380 some
01:07:02.680 sort
01:07:03.160 for
01:07:04.640 a
01:07:05.040 good
01:07:05.300 year
01:07:05.560 and
01:07:05.700 a
01:07:05.760 half
01:07:05.980 it
01:07:06.140 was
01:07:06.300 at
01:07:06.480 least
01:07:06.740 twice
01:07:07.140 a
01:07:07.380 week
01:07:07.640 and
01:07:08.600 then
01:07:08.820 for
01:07:09.260 the
01:07:09.420 entire
01:07:09.820 three
01:07:10.280 year
01:07:10.460 period
01:07:10.840 it's
01:07:11.120 been
01:07:11.280 at
01:07:11.480 least
01:07:11.800 once
01:07:12.320 a
01:07:12.500 week
01:07:12.760 it's
01:07:13.440 non-stop
01:07:14.280 and
01:07:14.880 sometimes
01:07:15.460 it's
01:07:15.820 national
01:07:16.360 and
01:07:17.400 sometimes
01:07:17.740 it's
01:07:18.080 international
01:07:18.600 but
01:07:18.960 it's
01:07:19.420 continual
01:07:20.220 and
01:07:20.880 so
01:07:21.020 that's
01:07:21.740 I'll
01:07:24.220 give you
01:07:24.520 an
01:07:24.660 example
01:07:25.020 this
01:07:25.280 is a
01:07:25.520 funny
01:07:25.700 little
01:07:25.960 story
01:07:26.400 my
01:07:27.840 son

01:07:33.760 a
01:07:33.880 rough
01:07:34.080 day
01:07:34.400 because
01:07:34.700 200
01:07:35.500 of

01:07:44.660 to
01:07:44.760 the

01:07:47.140 me
01:07:47.500 even

01:08:19.380 and
01:08:19.600 and
01:08:19.900 the
01:08:20.000 fact

01:08:20.480 doesn't
01:08:20.780 quit
01:08:21.100 that's
01:08:21.460 another
01:08:21.680 thing
01:08:21.940 I
01:08:22.120 can't
01:08:22.660 understand

01:08:37.040 but
01:08:38.640 none
01:08:38.880 of
01:08:39.000 that
01:08:39.160 happened
01:08:39.540 it
01:08:39.720 just
01:08:39.880 kept
01:08:40.160 expanding
01:08:40.720 and
01:08:40.920 expanding
01:08:41.420 and
01:08:41.620 expanding

01:08:43.020 expanding
01:08:43.480 and
01:08:43.780 and
01:08:44.300 every
01:08:45.300 day
01:08:45.480 I
01:08:45.680 wake
01:08:46.040 up
01:08:46.180 and
01:08:46.300 I
01:08:46.400 think
01:08:46.600 well
01:08:46.760 this
01:08:46.940 is
01:08:47.100 going
01:08:47.240 to
01:08:47.760 come
01:08:48.020 to
01:08:48.180 an
01:08:48.300 end
01:08:48.560 but
01:08:48.800 it
01:08:48.980 doesn't
01:08:49.380 it
01:08:49.540 just
01:08:49.820 expands
01:08:50.500 and
01:08:50.940 and
01:08:51.940 that
01:08:52.080 just
01:08:52.280 doesn't
01:08:52.580 seem
01:08:52.800 credible
01:08:53.280 in
01:08:53.920 the
01:08:54.080 least
01:08:54.400 every
01:08:54.940 time
01:08:55.180 I
01:08:55.360 come

01:08:55.940 event
01:08:56.160 like
01:08:56.420 this
01:08:56.800 or
01:08:56.980 I
01:08:57.620 mean
01:08:57.780 when
01:08:58.200 I
01:08:58.340 was
01:08:58.520 in
01:08:58.740 Australia
01:08:59.300 I
01:09:00.440 was

01:09:01.220 audiences
01:09:01.680 of
01:09:01.960 5500
01:09:02.600 people
01:09:03.280 and
01:09:03.980 it's
01:09:04.200 like
01:09:04.480 how
01:09:05.180 in
01:09:05.340 the
01:09:05.420 world
01:09:05.600 can
01:09:05.820 you
01:09:05.940 believe
01:09:06.280 that
01:09:06.760 it's
01:09:07.000 like
01:09:07.240 you
01:09:08.160 heard
01:09:08.460 what
01:09:08.620 I
01:09:08.740 just
01:09:09.000 said
01:09:09.320 who
01:09:09.540 in
01:09:10.280 their
01:09:10.420 right
01:09:10.680 mind
01:09:11.000 would
01:09:11.200 come
01:09:11.440 and
01:09:11.620 listen
01:09:11.900 to
01:09:12.140 someone
01:09:12.500 who
01:09:12.760 just

01:09:17.120 and
01:09:17.760 it's
01:09:17.980 so
01:09:18.220 demanding
01:09:18.900 you
01:09:19.640 wouldn't
01:09:19.880 think
01:09:20.120 that
01:09:20.320 people
01:09:20.560 would
01:09:20.840 line
01:09:22.080 up
01:09:22.400 for
01:09:22.640 blocks

01:09:25.180 money
01:09:25.460 and
01:09:25.740 come
01:09:26.820 because

01:09:35.540 you
01:09:35.700 people
01:09:36.000 you
01:09:36.220 are
01:09:36.520 completely
01:09:37.080 out
01:09:37.380 of
01:09:37.500 your
01:09:37.640 mind
01:09:38.300 and
01:09:42.320 so
01:09:42.660 and
01:09:43.540 then
01:09:43.720 I
01:09:44.040 think
01:09:44.320 too
01:09:44.660 you
01:09:44.980 know
01:09:45.160 that
01:09:45.400 the
01:09:47.040 state
01:09:47.420 of
01:09:47.600 disbelief
01:09:48.200 is
01:09:48.400 necessary
01:09:49.180 and
01:09:49.600 maybe
01:09:49.980 that's
01:09:50.640 an
01:09:50.760 advantage
01:09:51.140 to
01:09:51.360 being
01:09:51.560 older
01:09:52.020 because
01:09:52.880 I'm
01:09:53.180 too
01:09:53.360 old
01:09:53.600 to
01:09:53.740 adapt
01:09:54.140 rapidly
01:09:54.760 and
01:09:55.660 this
01:09:55.960 isn't
01:09:56.180 the
01:09:56.340 sort
01:09:56.520 of
01:09:56.620 thing
01:09:56.800 that
01:09:56.940 you
01:09:57.060 should
01:09:57.240 adapt
01:09:57.660 to
01:09:58.080 right
01:09:58.480 I
01:09:58.740 should
01:09:59.020 be
01:09:59.200 in
01:09:59.340 a
01:09:59.480 constant
01:09:59.820 state
01:10:00.200 of
01:10:00.400 shock
01:10:01.240 disbelief
01:10:01.900 because
01:10:02.220 it
01:10:02.420 keeps
01:10:02.620 my
01:10:02.840 head
01:10:03.120 on
01:10:04.120 straight
01:10:04.680 I
01:10:05.800 don't
01:10:05.980 know
01:10:06.180 what's
01:10:06.740 going
01:10:07.020 on
01:10:07.300 exactly
01:10:07.880 I
01:10:08.120 don't
01:10:08.320 know
01:10:08.520 why
01:10:08.900 it's
01:10:09.280 the
01:10:09.900 case
01:10:10.280 that
01:10:10.520 what
01:10:10.740 I'm
01:10:10.960 saying
01:10:11.420 is
01:10:11.780 so
01:10:12.300 necessary
01:10:13.560 apparently
01:10:14.540 but
01:10:15.640 it
01:10:15.880 seems
01:10:16.160 to
01:10:16.380 be
01:10:16.640 and
01:10:17.360 I'm
01:10:17.500 trying
01:10:17.720 to
01:10:17.900 figure
01:10:18.080 out
01:10:18.300 why
01:10:18.700 but
01:10:19.940 I'm
01:10:20.120 certainly
01:10:20.480 not
01:10:21.160 for
01:10:21.360 a
01:10:21.560 second
01:10:21.840 I
01:10:23.060 think
01:10:23.320 I
01:10:23.480 take
01:10:23.740 very
01:10:24.020 little
01:10:24.280 for
01:10:24.500 granted
01:10:24.860 and
01:10:25.720 I
01:10:25.920 mean
01:10:26.200 I
01:10:26.360 think
01:10:26.560 I
01:10:26.700 take
01:10:27.000 even
01:10:27.320 less
01:10:27.900 for
01:10:28.120 granted
01:10:28.440 than
01:10:28.700 you
01:10:28.840 might
01:10:29.060 think
01:10:29.420 I
01:10:29.740 told
01:10:30.000 you
01:10:30.160 that
01:10:30.340 I
01:10:30.760 don't
01:10:30.980 take
01:10:31.200 it
01:10:31.320 for
01:10:31.480 granted
01:10:31.800 that
01:10:32.040 you
01:10:32.200 can
01:10:32.360 all
01:10:37.300 world
01:10:37.640 is
01:10:37.880 that
01:10:38.080 if
01:10:38.300 it
01:10:38.660 isn't
01:10:39.300 if
01:10:39.860 it
01:10:39.980 isn't
01:10:40.520 burning
01:10:41.180 in
01:10:41.460 rack
01:10:41.780 and
01:10:41.980 runes
01:10:42.460 then
01:10:43.180 I
01:10:43.360 think
01:10:43.600 it's
01:10:43.800 a
01:10:43.940 bloody
01:10:44.180 miracle
01:10:44.700 and
01:10:45.640 the
01:10:46.040 fact
01:10:46.320 that
01:10:46.580 things
01:10:46.900 have
01:10:47.100 gone
01:10:47.420 well
01:10:48.180 for
01:10:48.460 me
01:10:48.740 and
01:10:49.780 that
01:10:49.920 I'm
01:10:50.120 still
01:10:50.620 standing
01:10:51.460 which
01:10:52.780 is
01:10:52.920 also
01:10:53.240 a
01:10:53.600 miracle
01:10:53.940 of
01:10:54.200 sorts
01:10:54.740 you
01:10:54.920 know
01:10:55.040 I
01:10:55.160 mean
01:10:55.400 there
01:10:58.560 were
01:10:58.720 probably
01:10:59.240 30
01:11:00.740 different
01:11:01.240 scandalous
01:11:02.160 episodes
01:11:04.420 that
01:11:05.900 had
01:11:06.100 every
01:11:06.740 that
01:11:08.240 anyone
01:11:08.680 with
01:11:08.960 any
01:11:09.220 sense
01:11:09.640 would
01:11:09.960 have
01:11:10.100 thought
01:11:10.500 would
01:11:10.940 finish
01:11:11.400 me
01:11:11.700 and
01:11:13.160 they've
01:11:14.880 all
01:11:15.080 backfired
01:11:15.800 and
01:11:17.460 that's
01:11:18.100 also
01:11:18.460 I
01:11:25.980 also
01:11:26.280 don't
01:11:26.560 understand
01:11:26.960 that
01:11:27.520 it's
01:11:27.800 like
01:11:28.080 I
01:11:28.960 don't
01:11:29.180 understand
01:11:29.700 that
01:11:30.120 I
01:11:31.100 get
01:11:31.320 attacked
01:11:31.840 in
01:11:32.220 New
01:11:32.420 York
01:11:32.620 Times
01:11:33.040 and
01:11:33.980 my
01:11:34.160 friends
01:11:34.460 call
01:11:35.080 me
01:11:35.360 who
01:11:35.720 are
01:11:35.860 New
01:11:36.000 York
01:11:36.180 Times
01:11:36.460 readers
01:11:36.740 and
01:11:36.980 they
01:11:37.120 say
01:11:37.380 you
01:11:38.320 you
01:11:38.620 you
01:11:39.100 you've
01:11:39.500 had
01:11:39.720 it
01:11:39.860 this
01:11:40.060 time
01:11:40.300 because
01:11:40.540 that
01:11:40.760 was
01:11:40.900 the
01:11:41.040 New
01:11:41.200 York
01:11:41.400 Times
01:11:41.800 you
01:11:42.080 know
01:11:42.240 you're
01:11:43.340 not
01:11:43.480 going
01:11:43.620 to
01:11:43.720 recover
01:11:44.020 from
01:11:44.280 that
01:11:44.500 and
01:11:44.600 I
01:11:44.700 think
01:11:44.920 well
01:11:45.420 that's
01:11:45.660 probably
01:11:45.960 true
01:11:46.320 I
01:11:46.520 mean
01:11:46.760 I
01:11:47.140 was
01:11:47.240 expecting
01:11:47.740 it
01:11:48.040 to
01:11:48.580 happen
01:11:48.880 all
01:11:49.100 along
01:11:49.500 and
01:11:49.660 then
01:11:49.900 I
01:11:50.620 wait
01:11:50.960 and
01:11:51.140 then
01:11:51.440 you
01:11:51.980 know
01:11:52.220 everybody
01:11:53.480 clamors
01:11:54.100 at
01:11:54.380 me
01:11:54.620 and
01:11:54.800 then
01:11:55.040 I
01:11:56.240 don't
01:11:56.540 respond
01:11:57.240 too
01:11:57.500 much
01:11:57.700 to
01:11:57.860 that
01:11:58.120 and
01:11:58.260 it
01:11:58.440 starts
01:11:58.680 to
01:11:58.880 die
01:11:59.080 away
01:11:59.340 and
01:11:59.500 then
01:11:59.620 all
01:11:59.760 the
01:11:59.920 supporters
01:12:00.280 come
01:12:00.600 out
01:12:00.820 and
01:12:01.340 then
01:12:01.500 there's
01:12:01.860 a hundred
01:12:03.400 people
01:12:04.000 who
01:12:04.180 clamor
01:12:04.620 and
01:12:04.840 ten
01:12:05.180 thousand
01:12:05.660 supporters
01:12:06.320 and
01:12:07.660 you
01:12:07.860 know
01:12:08.000 here's
01:12:08.400 something
01:12:08.620 I
01:12:08.840 can
01:12:09.000 tell
01:12:09.200 you
01:12:09.300 about
01:12:09.480 my
01:12:09.660 life
01:12:10.020 that's
01:12:11.760 really
01:12:12.000 remarkable
01:12:12.580 so
01:12:14.360 you
01:12:15.380 know
01:12:15.560 if
01:12:16.200 you
01:12:16.460 just
01:12:18.020 read
01:12:18.320 the
01:12:19.220 press
01:12:19.620 well
01:12:21.020 you'd
01:12:21.220 have
01:12:21.360 all
01:12:21.520 sorts
01:12:21.720 of
01:12:21.840 ideas
01:12:22.120 about
01:12:22.440 me
01:12:22.720 I
01:12:23.760 mean
01:12:23.900 you
01:12:24.880 know
01:12:25.040 that
01:12:25.260 I'm
01:12:25.560 a
01:12:25.940 bigot
01:12:26.260 in
01:12:27.440 the
01:12:27.580 broadest
01:12:27.980 possible
01:12:28.420 sense
01:12:28.880 and
01:12:29.200 so
01:12:29.300 that's
01:12:29.720 you
01:12:29.860 know
01:12:30.000 racist
01:12:30.580 sexist
01:12:31.360 homophobic
01:12:32.760 ethnocentric
01:12:34.020 white
01:12:34.880 nationalist
01:12:35.440 alt-right
01:12:36.140 islamophobic
01:12:38.360 all of
01:12:40.240 those
01:12:40.440 things
01:12:40.820 and
01:12:43.700 you'd
01:12:43.920 think
01:12:44.120 that
01:12:44.280 there
01:12:44.460 was
01:12:44.600 just
01:12:44.840 nothing
01:12:45.160 but
01:12:45.400 hatred
01:12:45.860 although
01:12:47.100 I
01:12:47.540 have
01:12:47.740 been
01:12:47.920 treated
01:12:48.160 well
01:12:48.440 by
01:12:48.620 many
01:12:48.920 journalists
01:12:49.440 but
01:12:49.940 you
01:12:50.500 could
01:12:50.920 easily
01:12:51.240 get
01:12:51.520 that
01:12:51.820 sense
01:12:52.340 that
01:12:52.600 like
01:12:52.840 I
01:12:52.980 live
01:12:53.180 in
01:12:53.280 a
01:12:53.420 world
01:12:53.740 where
01:12:54.600 I'm
01:12:54.740 surrounded
01:12:55.160 by
01:12:55.420 hatred
01:12:55.800 and
01:12:56.340 that
01:12:56.500 is
01:12:56.640 absolutely
01:12:57.220 not
01:12:57.580 true
01:12:57.980 it's
01:12:58.960 so
01:12:59.160 not
01:12:59.440 true
01:12:59.800 that
01:13:00.120 it's
01:13:01.320 you know
01:13:02.940 there are
01:13:03.260 lies
01:13:03.620 and then
01:13:03.960 there are
01:13:05.580 anti-truths
01:13:07.240 and an
01:13:07.820 anti-truth is
01:13:08.660 even worse
01:13:09.160 than a
01:13:09.540 lie
01:13:09.880 it's like
01:13:10.680 the ultimate
01:13:11.140 form of
01:13:11.680 lie
01:13:11.880 and that
01:13:12.460 isn't
01:13:12.620 what my
01:13:12.900 life is
01:13:13.280 like
01:13:13.500 at all
01:13:13.980 what my
01:13:15.500 life is
01:13:15.920 like
01:13:16.200 is that
01:13:16.600 I
01:13:17.380 travel
01:13:17.860 with
01:13:18.100 my
01:13:18.320 wife
01:13:18.620 and
01:13:19.420 wherever
01:13:19.700 we
01:13:19.980 go
01:13:20.280 and I
01:13:21.540 mean
01:13:21.760 that
01:13:22.000 literally
01:13:22.500 wherever
01:13:23.100 we
01:13:23.460 go
01:13:23.760 and
01:13:25.000 we've
01:13:25.200 been
01:13:25.380 to
01:13:25.560 I
01:13:25.700 don't
01:13:25.800 know
01:13:25.920 how

01:14:06.380 was
01:14:06.560 in
01:14:06.740 this
01:14:06.980 dreadful
01:14:07.440 place
01:14:07.960 six
01:14:09.140 months
01:14:09.420 ago
01:14:09.720 and
01:14:09.960 then

01:14:10.580 me
01:14:10.720 a
01:14:10.860 little
01:14:10.980 bit
01:14:11.140 about
01:14:11.420 the

01:14:12.820 of
01:14:12.980 that
01:14:13.220 little
01:14:13.560 corner
01:14:14.140 of
01:14:14.340 hell
01:14:14.580 they
01:14:14.820 were
01:14:14.980 ensconced
01:14:15.580 in
01:14:15.880 and
01:14:16.540 then
01:14:16.680 they
01:14:16.880 say
01:14:17.160 well
01:14:17.760 I've
01:14:18.080 been
01:14:18.200 trying
01:14:18.420 to
01:14:18.580 develop
01:14:18.880 a
01:14:19.060 vision
01:14:19.280 for
01:14:19.520 my
01:14:19.700 life
01:14:20.100 or
01:14:20.960 I've
01:14:21.100 been
01:14:21.220 trying
01:14:21.400 to
01:14:21.540 take
01:14:21.720 more
01:14:21.920 responsibility
01:14:22.740 or
01:14:23.340 been
01:14:23.500 trying
01:14:23.700 to
01:14:23.820 be
01:14:23.980 grateful
01:14:24.340 for
01:14:24.580 my
01:14:24.800 job
01:14:25.240 mundane
01:14:27.460 though
01:14:27.720 it
01:14:27.880 may
01:14:28.120 be
01:14:28.480 or
01:14:29.600 I've
01:14:29.780 decided
01:14:30.120 that
01:14:30.340 I'm
01:14:30.500 going
01:14:30.700 to
01:14:31.020 try
01:14:31.360 to
01:14:31.500 put
01:14:31.640 my
01:14:31.820 family
01:14:32.180 together
01:14:32.640 and
01:14:33.040 make
01:14:33.220 peace
01:14:33.660 and
01:14:34.340 I've
01:14:34.800 really
01:14:35.040 been
01:14:35.280 trying
01:14:35.700 and
01:14:36.220 it's
01:14:36.420 really
01:14:36.840 working
01:14:37.480 and
01:14:38.200 things
01:14:38.480 are
01:14:38.640 way
01:14:39.120 better
01:14:39.560 and
01:14:40.680 thank
01:14:42.580 you
01:14:42.900 and
01:14:45.900 so
01:14:46.300 well
01:14:47.700 it's
01:14:48.160 it's
01:14:48.940 overwhelming
01:14:49.420 to have
01:14:50.680 that happen
01:14:51.260 continually
01:14:51.960 it's
01:14:52.680 very
01:14:52.880 difficult
01:14:53.240 to
01:14:53.600 believe
01:14:54.060 but
01:14:54.960 it's
01:14:56.280 unbelievably
01:14:56.900 positive
01:14:57.660 you know
01:14:58.720 I mean
01:14:59.040 it's
01:14:59.380 if you
01:15:00.040 could
01:15:00.200 imagine
01:15:00.600 if you
01:15:01.440 could
01:15:01.600 ask
01:15:01.900 for
01:15:02.120 what
01:15:02.360 you
01:15:02.500 wanted
01:15:02.920 you
01:15:03.240 could
01:15:04.300 have
01:15:04.460 anything
01:15:04.800 you
01:15:05.020 wanted
01:15:05.440 you
01:15:07.160 might
01:15:07.360 think
01:15:07.740 it
01:15:12.360 would
01:15:12.500 be
01:15:12.720 lovely
01:15:13.120 if
01:15:13.780 I
01:15:13.920 could
01:15:14.080 live
01:15:14.260 my
01:15:14.460 life
01:15:14.760 in
01:15:14.880 a
01:15:14.980 manner
01:15:15.240 so
01:15:15.980 that
01:15:16.280 wherever
01:15:17.200 I
01:15:17.460 went
01:15:17.760 in
01:15:18.360 the
01:15:18.460 world
01:15:18.840 perfect
01:15:20.460 strangers
01:15:21.000 would
01:15:21.300 come
01:15:21.480 up
01:15:21.660 to
01:15:21.780 me
01:15:22.040 one
01:15:23.040 after
01:15:23.300 the
01:15:23.520 other
01:15:23.760 and
01:15:24.920 tell
01:15:25.140 me
01:15:25.480 that
01:15:26.140 they're
01:15:27.560 suffering
01:15:28.020 much
01:15:28.340 less
01:15:28.740 that
01:15:29.860 their
01:15:30.060 families
01:15:30.480 are
01:15:30.680 in
01:15:30.800 better
01:15:31.020 shape
01:15:31.380 and
01:15:32.460 that
01:15:32.600 their
01:15:32.760 lives
01:15:33.020 are
01:15:33.180 on
01:15:33.360 course
01:15:33.700 because
01:15:34.140 they
01:15:34.820 took
01:15:35.080 to
01:15:37.620 heart
01:15:37.860 something
01:15:39.080 that
01:15:39.380 I
01:15:39.500 was
01:15:39.660 communicating
01:15:40.300 that's
01:15:41.720 as
01:15:41.840 good
01:15:42.020 as
01:15:42.160 it
01:15:42.300 gets
01:15:42.660 as
01:15:44.000 far
01:15:44.200 as
01:15:44.320 I
01:15:44.460 can
01:15:44.600 tell
01:15:44.900 I
01:16:09.020 really
01:16:09.460 I don't
01:16:10.240 want to
01:16:10.480 ask
01:16:10.740 anything
01:16:11.140 else
01:16:11.560 I
01:16:12.360 think
01:16:12.720 this
01:16:13.000 was
01:16:13.160 so
01:16:13.400 powerful
01:16:13.940 and
01:16:15.480 if
01:16:15.640 that
01:16:15.840 didn't
01:16:16.180 prove
01:16:16.620 my
01:16:16.880 instinct
01:16:17.340 is
01:16:17.580 right
