The biggest pimp in the world dies at 43 years old.
00:00:03.100
The most valuable company in the world claims to have finally achieved artificial general
00:00:30.000
welcome back to the show speaking of ai mcdonald's is testing out humanoid robots
00:00:53.900
even at the front of the store so usually you go to mcdonald's and now they have those screens
00:01:01.120
so it's cheaper to replace them with computers.
00:01:10.740
And pretty soon they're gonna replace me with robots.
00:01:13.580
If we've actually hit artificial general intelligence,
00:01:24.280
and this is the Totally Human Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:31.340
Before we get into any of that, I want to tell you about Cow Guys.

00:01:38.040
Can you pronounce every ingredient on the lotion bottle?
00:01:44.400
What Big Pharma did to food, they did to skincare too.
00:01:46.800
They used slick marketing to convince us to rub industrial byproduct on our faces.
00:01:53.600
Seems like everyone knows someone's struggling with bad skin or some sort of skin condition.
00:01:58.480
Tallow is what we used for generations before chemical companies took over.
00:02:02.100
It's what your skin understands because it's biologically appropriate.
00:02:04.740
The greatest endorsement I can possibly give you for Cow Guys Tallow products

She has very, very, some would say impossibly high standards.

00:02:41.640
Right off the top, making the rounds on social media. The owner of OnlyFans has died at age 43.
00:02:50.280
I think he had cancer. And some people are celebrating his death. I understand why people
00:02:57.460
are celebrating his death. I do not celebrate his death. I don't celebrate anybody's death.
00:03:02.640
No man is an island entire unto himself. Each man's death diminishes me because I am part of
00:03:09.220
humanity. However, it's really sad that this guy died. He's a young guy. I don't know if he had a
00:03:18.460
family. I don't know. I don't know anything about him. I don't really want to know that much about
00:03:21.640
him. But it's really sad because of what a terrible life he led. It's really sad. I don't
00:03:28.240
mean that just to dunk on the guy. I mean, it's really sad. This guy was given life by God and
00:03:33.360
he got 43 years of it, relatively short, I guess, but still 43 years. 43 years looked at from another
00:03:40.220
perspective is a long time and he wasted it. He did worse than wasting it. He did a lot of evil
00:03:46.020
in his life. He used those 43 years for bad purposes. And now that he's died,
00:03:54.600
some people are going to celebrate his death and other people are just going to kind of shrug
00:03:59.940
their shoulders and no one's going to miss him. And if he is remembered at all, he will be
00:04:07.320
remembered as a disgraceful person. And that's really, really sad because that could happen to
00:04:13.880
any of us. Part of the reason I don't celebrate when someone dies, part of the reason that I
00:04:17.960
don't double down on the invective and usually call people all sorts of names and say, this is
00:04:24.000
the most evil person ever. The reason I generally shy away from that, though occasionally slip up,
00:04:30.480
is because when I look at people who do really evil things, I think, there but for the grace of
00:04:34.880
God, go I. I could have done that. Had a little turn not happened in my life, had I not been
00:04:43.500
had I not seen God's grace before me and endeavored my very best to cooperate with it,
00:04:49.560
I could be that guy too. And I remember there was a very important moment in my religious
00:04:54.440
reversion. I was away from the church for 10 years. I, at the age of 13, would have called
00:04:59.140
myself an atheist and persisted in that for a long time. One of the big shifts in my perspective
00:05:05.260
was when I realized that the phrase, he pleased himself, is a terrible epitaph.
00:05:13.500
That would be a terrible thing to see in someone's obituary. He did a lot of stuff that gave himself
00:05:19.300
pleasure. Not he donated to his community, not he left the world a better place, not he sacrificed
00:05:27.360
for others, but just he really got his. He made a lot of money, slept with a lot of girls,
00:05:34.760
ate a lot of chocolate, gave himself a lot of pleasure. He'll be missed? No, he won't be missed.
00:06:06.340
because Ayn Rand says you should do everything for yourself.
00:06:08.820
She wrote this book, The Virtue of Selfishness.
00:06:11.900
That's one of her nonfiction books, which is why it's one of the few books she wrote that's not
0.93
00:06:15.560
10,000 pages long of just repetitive trash. And her argument is, because she was so messed up by
00:06:21.280
communism in the Soviet Union, she swung completely in the other direction and ended up being just the
0.69
00:06:25.320
flip side of the communist coin. She says you should only live for yourself. You should be
00:06:28.900
really, really selfish. That's it. I just saved you. You don't have to read The Fountainhead.
0.86
00:06:32.540
You don't have to read Atlas Shrugged. I've just saved you the entire Ayn Rand oeuvre.
00:06:37.660
She says you need to be really selfish, and that'll be better for everybody.
00:06:41.500
And that's not, that's not true. You don't want to be a communist, a collectivist. You don't want
00:06:46.820
to be an altruist in the left-wing sense, but you also don't want to be an egotist. They both share
00:06:51.100
the same premises about human nature, and those premises are wrong. The premises are that we own
00:06:56.260
ourselves, that we're essentially individuals, and you're either individuals that lump up together
00:07:01.200
in a collective, or you're individuals that stay far apart like Adams. But in any case, we're all
00:07:06.160
And it's not true. Leonid Ravinsky, the guy who owned OnlyFans, he didn't make himself. You didn't
00:07:14.520
make yourself. Your life is a gift from God. And you therefore have a responsibility to your
00:07:18.600
creator. You are not entirely autonomous. You are not responsible only to yourself. You're not a
00:07:23.160
self-creating or even self-actualizing being, ultimately. You are a creature made by God,
00:07:29.040
and you have a responsibility to the moral order, and you have a responsibility to God's other
00:07:32.440
creatures. And when you live in that way, you get a nice obituary when you die. And when you live
00:07:39.160
in a selfish way, you get a bad obituary. And you get a bad obituary, and you are remembered
00:07:46.040
in a negative light, not just because you did something wrong, but because you're living
00:07:50.340
contrary to reality. You're living contrary to who you really are. It's really sad. This guy,
00:07:55.540
I guess he founded a different porn site, but then he came to buy most of OnlyFans.
00:07:59.520
He was worth almost $5 billion at the time of his death, and he's going to be a punchline at best.
00:08:05.360
There are going to be other podcasters today who are spiking the football celebrating his death,
00:08:08.740
and that's not going to be me. I pity the guy, and I think we should pray for this guy.
00:08:13.920
And I think that we should take him as a warning sign. You don't want to live like that. This guy
00:08:19.400
had almost $5 billion. I'm sure he could have slept with any woman he wanted. He was the biggest
00:08:23.840
pimp in the world, and his life was really sad. It was a total waste, a waste at best.
0.98
00:08:29.920
Okay, here's a related story. This is going viral right now on social media,
00:08:34.500
and this is a Christian. I don't know if he's a pastor or if he's just a lay preacher type,
00:08:42.260
but he's a professional Christian. I think he's an evangelical Protestant.
00:08:46.540
And here's the post that's going viral. It opens up, says,
00:08:56.160
And he goes on to explain what a whore his wife was, I guess.
1.00
00:09:04.320
We'll get to why some people are objecting to it.
00:09:11.760
You know, I've been a fan of nicotine for a while, especially cigars.
00:09:16.060
But I've dabbled in all sorts of other kinds of nicotine.
00:09:18.340
the little pouches, nasal snuff. I've gotten a kick out of it over the years. Well, if you are
00:09:24.980
already a nicotine user, I have something new to introduce you to, and that is our sponsor,
00:09:28.660
Lucy. Lucy offers 100% pure nicotine pouches, not a trace of tobacco. Lucy Breakers are not
00:09:34.680
your run-of-the-mill nicotine pouches. They've somehow made it even more adorned, even more
00:09:39.740
complex. Each one's got a tiny capsule inside. You can crack open for an extra punch of flavor
00:09:47.180
Clean, clever, and makes that nicotine habit
1.00
00:09:55.620
You know, it's just a little treat every once in a while.
00:09:57.920
Lucy ships straight to your door as a one-time order
1.00
00:10:06.780
20% off your first order when you buy online with code Knolls.
00:10:14.780
Lucy products are only for adults of legal age. Every order is age verified. This product
00:10:18.560
contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. My wife was formerly promiscuous,
1.00
00:10:23.980
says this man, Trevor Sheets. I was a virgin. She was then radically born again, committed to church,
00:10:30.900
evangelized constantly, Puritan books in her bedroom. So that's why I would say he's almost
00:10:35.460
certainly an evangelical Protestant. I have a lot of Puritan ancestors. Some of those
00:10:40.840
separatists came here on the Mayflower. I love, I love my Puritan family, but Puritanism, not where
00:10:47.000
it's at. A friend of mine, a priest friend of mine once said that Thanksgiving is a bigger holiday
00:10:51.640
in the UK than it is in America, because it's when they got rid of all those Puritans and
1.00
00:10:56.140
separatists. You guys are too weird. Get out of here. Anyway, so, okay, that's this guy's
0.95
00:11:00.840
perspective. He talks about his wife. He says, we got to know each other well for over a year,
00:11:04.920
dated for four months, engaged for two and a half, and did not sin sexually with one another.
00:11:09.580
Our first kiss with each other was at the altar
00:11:16.380
And then he puts this picture of the wife on the post.
1.00
00:11:27.920
as biblical purity has less to do with past sins
00:11:30.200
and more to do with one's current posture of the heart.
00:11:39.200
The Pharisees were shocked that Jesus let a public sinner wash his feet with her own tears.
0.93
00:11:45.480
Jesus responded with a parable about debts being forgiven.
00:12:03.060
Purity ultimately has more to do with one's present state.
00:12:06.940
You know, morality, virtue has more to do with one's present posture and orientation
00:12:15.440
The devil wants to tell you that you're going to get bogged down in all your past sins.
00:12:18.240
The devil whispers in your ear before you sin and says,
00:12:20.780
that sin is no big deal, just do it, no one cares.
00:12:23.980
And then the minute you sin, he says, you can never be forgiven.
00:12:31.920
I think C.S. Lewis uses this metaphor, this image that, you know, we're all kind of like toddlers.
00:12:39.460
We're all kind of toddling around, and what matters is that we're toddling toward God.
00:12:45.580
And we're going to fall, and we're going to wobble, but as long as we're oriented toward God,
00:12:51.440
as long as our desire is turned toward God, and we're moving in that direction, that's what God
00:12:55.240
really wants. That's what delights God. And if we're moving in the opposite direction,
00:12:58.560
or we're despairing, or giving up, or whatever, that's a big problem.
00:13:01.080
But all of that said, I agree with so many of the points he's making.
00:13:05.040
And yet, there's something wrong with this post, right?
0.99
00:13:09.820
You shouldn't call your wife a whore on social media, I think.
1.00
00:13:18.380
Sometimes Christians broadly do this kind of thing.
00:13:24.380
They broadly and loudly proclaim their previous sins.
00:13:29.200
Sometimes they'll go into lurid detail. I do find this is more an evangelical Protestant thing
0.96
00:13:34.280
than other flavors of Christianity, and we could get into specific reasons why that is, but
00:13:41.600
it's a little weird, and here's why. Christ forgives us. He comes not to condemn the world,
00:13:51.400
but to save the world. God's grace is far greater than we can possibly imagine.
00:13:57.160
We have the opportunity to cooperate with God's grace. We don't need to live constantly bogged
00:14:02.520
down by shame of our past. We can move forward in the grace of Christ. All of that is true.
00:14:07.460
All of that is true. And yet, we owe each something, we owe each other something beyond
00:14:15.420
just grace. We owe each other discretion. You don't need to talk about your past sins all the
00:14:22.760
time. Sometimes that can be powerful testimony, but sometimes it's a little awkward and weird.
00:14:28.740
Sometimes it can be humiliating. Sometimes it can serve selfish purposes. I don't want to
00:14:33.740
psychobabble this guy too much, but I do wonder if he is still a little bit troubled by this
00:14:38.960
woman's past. That's the first or second line in there, right? I was a virgin on my wedding day
0.88
00:14:44.340
and my wife was a slut, but now she's so much nicer. She's so wonderful. He's couching this
1.00
00:14:50.020
condemnation of her past in a positive light, but look how wonderful she is now. And yet I do
00:14:56.060
wonder if it still bothers him a little bit. We really shouldn't bring up each other's past sins
00:15:01.660
to people. It was one of the worst things, one of the most poisonous things you can do in a marriage
00:15:05.240
is say, well, do you remember five years ago when you said such and such and such? Yeah,
00:15:10.200
I really hated that and I've never gotten over it. And you did this and you did that and you
00:15:14.220
used to, I mean, that's like the death of a marriage, isn't it? And he's doing that and he's
00:15:18.340
couching it in this really nice Christian language. We owe each other a little bit of
00:15:24.400
discretion. We owe each other a little bit of a gracious comportment, not just the grace to say,
00:15:29.720
I forgive you and you can move forward, but also the grace to move on, to forget about it.
00:15:35.720
If this guy's going to say, if he's trying to teach a lesson to people that they don't need
00:15:42.100
to be bogged down in their sin forever. He might hide who he's talking about. He might say, you
00:15:48.560
know, a good friend of mine or, you know, someone I care about very much used to be like this and
00:15:53.380
now this person is like this. Just say, hey, here's a picture of my wife. She was a big mega
0.88
00:15:57.280
slut, but now she's not so much anymore. Isn't it great? No, we owe each other a little bit of
1.00
00:16:03.980
discretion. We owe each other a little bit of good comportment. And furthermore, this is an
00:16:08.320
important lesson for Lent. Privately suffering, privately repenting can be a more difficult cross.
00:16:17.820
You know, in some ways, I think this temptation among certain types of Christians to just
00:16:23.700
constantly be talking about your past sin, I think it comes about as a kind of anxiety or neurosis.
00:16:31.660
We still feel the weight of it. We haven't truly moved on from it. And so you don't want people
00:16:36.320
to think you're a hypocrite. You don't want people to discover this later and for it to be awkward.
0.95
00:16:39.880
You don't, you want to just rip the bandaid off. You want to immunitize the eschaton. So you say,
1.00
00:16:43.180
you know, I used to be a murderer and a thief and a drunkard and a glutton and a big old slut,
1.00
00:16:49.980
or my wife was that way, or my husband was that way or whatever. But you don't,
1.00
00:16:54.740
actually something that can even more closely unite you to the cross of Christ
00:16:58.540
that can maybe even be more sanctifying is to suffer that in silence, to feel a little of that
00:17:04.980
anxiety, you know? Look, at some point, my past sins might come out. I hope they don't, but they
00:17:08.320
might. Maybe ultimately, in the end, they probably will in the light of eternity. But that can even
00:17:15.300
be more of a cross. You see, it's not just with the husband doing this to the wife, which is a
00:17:20.400
big problem, but even sometimes people who say, I used to be a thief. I used to be a prostitute.
0.97
00:17:27.580
I used to be a murderer. I used to be this. And then they reform, and then they turn that into
0.99
00:17:31.840
a public speaking career. But you don't have to do that. Sometimes you can just repent. When people
00:17:37.800
used to repent of these sins, they'd go into the desert for years, for decades sometimes.
00:17:42.240
You can do that too. Last point I'll make on this, no one has pointed it out.
00:17:47.240
But in this guy's defense, if you click on his Twitter bio, you find out he's a social media
00:17:54.920
marketer. He's a Christian social media marketer. His business is to go to different churches and
00:18:00.540
church communities and to help them with their social media and their marketing and to go viral.
00:18:07.520
And the guy is clearly good at his job. Okay. The guy clearly knows what he's doing. So in that way,
00:18:11.960
maybe it worked, but to work at the expense of saying, you know, my wife's a big slut.
1.00
00:18:15.840
And then it even, he followed it up. He says, some people are criticizing me. I mean, everyone
0.99
00:18:19.520
is piling on this guy for doing it. And he says, but my wife talks about it all the time. Yeah,
00:18:23.500
maybe she shouldn't. Maybe you should say, hey, honey, you don't need to talk about that all the
00:18:27.160
time. And that's actually, that's a little embarrassing for me. And it's undignified for
00:18:31.400
you. And you should be honest. You can testify sometimes, but you don't need to talk about it.
00:18:36.500
Life is about more than this. Life, it's the lesson you're trying to impart to people. Well,
00:18:40.460
take that lesson yourself. Life is about more than your past sins. Christ has made us free.
00:18:45.400
Let's go do that. Let's go live in freedom. Speaking of social intelligence or lack thereof,
00:18:51.400
The CEO of NVIDIA, the world's most valuable company, big AI company, has just made a massive
00:19:00.620
announcement. He has said that NVIDIA has reached artificial general intelligence,
00:19:07.220
not just artificial intelligence, meaning you can train the bot to be really good at
00:19:12.200
looking through history archives, not just that you can train the bot to, I don't know,
00:19:17.400
operate a robot that pours leftist tears into my Tumblr, not just intelligence pertaining to a
00:19:24.520
specific task, but artificial general intelligence, which is, so actually it's a little bit of a murky
00:19:30.460
definition, but it's broadly understood to mean the kind of intelligence that is on par with or
00:19:36.900
surpassing human intelligence. Here he is on the Lex Friedman show.
00:19:40.920
managed to build a team of some agents, some humans, all that kind of stuff.
00:19:54.680
You think you can have a company run by an AI system like this?
00:19:59.380
You said a billion, and you didn't say forever.
00:20:01.640
And so, for example, it is not out of the question that a claw was able to create a web service, some interesting little app that all of a sudden, you know, a few billion people used for 50 cents.
00:20:25.800
And then it went out of business again shortly after.
00:20:29.220
Now, we saw a whole bunch of those type of companies during the internet era, and most of those websites were not anything more sophisticated than what OpenClaw could generate today.
00:20:40.660
So he says, yes, we have already reached artificial general intelligence because my AI software could start a business that would reach a billion-dollar valuation.
00:20:54.220
Maybe not stay there forever, but, you know, we saw this in the dot-com bubble.
0.99
00:20:57.200
A bunch of trash, stupid companies had crazy valuations, and I think that my AI machine could do that.
0.99
00:21:03.180
Therefore, we've reached artificial general intelligence.
1.00
00:21:05.180
Notice how the definition of artificial general intelligence keeps changing.
00:21:10.220
So the CEO here, previously in 2023, he defined AGI as software capable of passing tests that
00:21:21.100
approximate normal human intelligence at a reasonably competitive level in any way.
00:21:27.840
But then they narrow it in here. So Lex Friedman says, well, true AGI would look like an AI capable
00:21:34.680
of starting, growing, and running a tech company worth more than a billion dollars.
00:21:38.500
And the CEO of NVIDIA says, well, yeah, it could do that today.
00:21:46.980
He says, the odds of 100,000 of those agents building NVIDIA is 0%.
0.82
00:21:51.920
But they could make some trash, a dot-com bubble company.
00:21:59.180
It's all very confusing because we don't know what AGI is.
00:22:04.700
there are a lot of thoughtful pieces out there right think pieces and news reports
00:22:10.860
that acknowledge that the definition of AGI keeps changing but they don't get to why the
00:22:17.120
definition of AGI keeps changing the reason it keeps changing is not because the CEO of
00:22:22.640
NVIDIA is trying to pull a fast one it's not because Lex Friedman has his own ideological
00:22:27.060
hobby horses the reason that the definition of AGI keeps changing is because we are confused
00:22:33.620
about what it is. And the reason we're confused about artificial intelligence is because we're
00:22:38.020
confused about what real intelligence is. What is real intelligence? We used to know what that is.
00:22:45.660
Now we don't know what that is. The new model is that intelligence is just like
00:22:50.000
some electrons and neurons and impulses firing off in our brains because our brains are like
00:22:58.720
computers. And so just as a computer fires off lots of electrical pulses, so too our brains do
00:23:06.460
that, and that's intelligence. That is not true and cannot be true. So the old definition of
00:23:13.080
intelligence of the intellect is that the intellect is a spiritual power of a rational soul.
00:23:20.740
the two highest powers of a rational soul are the intellect and the will and what is what is a soul
00:23:29.700
a soul is the substantial form of the body so i we have bodies we all have bodies and made up of
00:23:35.520
different tissue and molecules and chemicals and all sorts of stuff but what separates the carbon
00:23:40.720
in our bodies from the carbon in a diamond ring is our soul the which is the form of our bodies
00:23:51.800
That's why we're more than just the sum of our molecules.
00:23:54.780
That's why there's a difference even between a living person and a cadaver.
00:24:01.020
But we all know there's a difference between a living person and a cadaver.
00:24:06.100
The soul, which at a really basic level is just understood as the, to use this classic language, the substantial form of the body.
00:24:13.680
It's the thing that makes your body, that makes you an integral whole.
00:24:19.240
so we have two aspects to us a material aspect which is like all our stuff all our carbon and
00:24:26.860
you know all our flesh and stuff and an immaterial part namely our our consciousness our reason our
00:24:34.940
intellect and our will you can't you can't carve a person up and say there's the will there's the
00:24:39.940
free will or there is the intellect you can say there's the brain but you can't say there's the
00:24:46.300
intellect. You can't say there's the mind. You can't point to the consciousness. Why? Because
00:24:51.320
it is a spiritual, immaterial power. How do we know? It sounds like kind of magical, mystical,
00:24:57.580
religious thinking, but we can actually know in a scientific way. We can know with reasonable
00:25:02.720
certainty that the reason that the intellect is immaterial. The way that we know that it's
00:25:08.400
immaterial is that the object of the intellect is to abstract immaterial universals. So my eyes
00:25:16.580
take in color and the eyes send it to the brain. The brain kind of moves stuff around and processes
00:25:23.540
information. And I can see this is an object, this microphone I'm holding. This is an object,
00:25:31.200
my tumbler. This is an object, my Mayflower cigar. But it is my intellect. It is not just
00:25:38.080
some material part of my body. It's my intellect that abstracts that and deals in universals,
00:25:45.160
not just this particular microphone or tumbler or cigar, but microphones. It's why I can identify
00:25:51.600
what a microphone is, even if it isn't the same color, even if it isn't made of the same material,
00:25:57.520
same for the tumbler, same for the cigar. I recognize that Mayflower cigars are a type of
00:26:02.980
cigar, the best type of cigar, of course, but it's a type of cigar. This is why little kids,
00:26:08.080
when they see one or two cats or one or two dogs, they immediately know what dogs,
00:26:13.040
they recognize dogs, they recognize cats, they know that cats are different from dogs.
00:26:16.780
Immediately. AI doesn't. Over a long enough period of time, AI can kind of get good enough
00:26:24.700
to kind of recognize through enough patterns what generally makes up a dog and what generally
00:26:31.760
makes up a cat, but they are processing that information totally differently. That would be
00:26:36.560
one little example of how this is different. The machine, the AI cannot deal in immaterial
00:26:44.400
universals because the machine does not have a rational soul. So the machine can process
00:26:49.840
information and it can simulate intelligence reasonably well to an impressive degree,
00:26:58.260
but that's not an intellect. That's not real intelligence. The other reason, speaking of the
00:27:04.720
spiritual powers of the rational soul, the other reason that the AGI can't really get all that close
00:27:10.560
to true intellect is because intellect goes along with will. You never have an intellect without a
00:27:17.400
will. Whether we're talking about human beings, whether we're talking about angels, whether we're
00:27:22.600
talking about God himself, will and intellect go together. The intellect deals with truth,
00:27:29.700
the will deals with appetitive goods, but they go together. You come to some conclusion about
00:27:34.420
the truth and that impels you in a desire. And sometimes it goes in the other direction too.
00:27:42.500
The machine doesn't have a will. The machine's just a bunch of stuff.
00:27:47.020
That's why it won't work. It's a little dry, I guess. It's not as sexy as the idea that
00:27:53.180
Terminator is about to come pop out of our computer screens and kill us all, or that we've
00:27:57.780
created a god, this oracle at Delphi that we can just ask anything to by plugging it into Grok or
00:28:03.640
chat gbt and it's going to give us a true answer but that's not it it's it's it's artificial
00:28:09.620
intelligence for a reason we acknowledge in that way that it's not real intelligence it's artificial
00:28:13.700
but the reality is it's not even intelligence it's a it's an impressive uh copy it's an impress not
00:28:22.920
even copy it's an impressive performance of of intellect but it's it's really a totally different
00:28:29.700
thing. We can't nail down the definition of AGI because we were very confused even today about
00:28:36.020
what intellect really is. But if you do know what intellect is, you know, we ain't getting to AGI.
00:28:42.260
Okay. Speaking of, what are we going to get to, I guess, is the better question. And what we're
00:28:47.200
going to get to is robots serving us our Big Macs. We'll get to that at a McDonald's in China. First
0.98
00:28:51.780
though, I want to tell you about PragerU. Go to prageru.com slash DW. The legacy media hold
00:28:56.300
Americans like you and me in contempt. Coverage on any issue from immigration to crime accuses
00:29:02.340
you, not the criminals, of being the ones really at fault. Well, my friends over at PragerU will
00:29:06.420
not stand for that nonsense. They promote American values with content they call edutainment. That
00:29:11.480
means they teach what matters most in new and creative ways through videos and more. If you
00:29:15.660
ever thought of supporting PragerU, now is the time to do it. Every dollar you give right now
00:29:20.220
is triple matched for maximum impact. Time is running out. That match opportunity ends March
00:29:24.420
31st. Some of you may know that I've worked with PragerU a lot over the years. I've written a lot
00:29:30.060
of their PragerU five-minute videos. I've performed in a number of their videos, and I host a show
00:29:35.920
called The Book Club. So I just love PragerU, and I read my kids' PragerU books almost every night.
00:29:40.900
PragerU can help you win over your friends, your family, your neighbors, anyone else who might be
00:29:44.820
too trusting with what they see on social media. Head on over right now, prageru.com slash dw.
00:29:50.560
you. PragerU.com slash DW. Support PragerU's important work before it's too late.
00:29:55.880
It's here. We don't have actual artificial general intelligence, but we do have robots
00:30:01.520
taking all of our jobs. Here we have in, I think, Shanghai, a robot greeting a customer
00:30:08.560
at a McDonald's and giving the customer her happy meal.
00:30:24.300
i always thought weird smiley robots with eyes that are too big and kind of weird animation i
00:30:31.900
always thought it was more of a japanese thing i want to sound racist like i'm confusing the
00:30:35.940
Japanese or the Chinese, but this is China. And the robots have taken over. Now, it's all for show.
0.86
00:30:43.140
This isn't really in effect yet, but I suppose it could be soon. And it's kind of sad, isn't it?
00:30:53.860
It's kind of like, do you remember it was five or 10 years ago, there was this big push to sell
00:30:59.300
Soylent, which is from a novel. And it's this hideous concoction that I won't spoil the novel.
00:31:09.020
But then they sold it as an actual product five or 10 years ago. And they said, this is great.
00:31:13.620
You don't need to eat meals anymore. You can just drink this sludge. And the sludge will give you
00:31:17.500
enough nutrients that you don't need to worry about eating. And that way, you can work more
00:31:20.460
at your cubicle. That way, you can just do more stuff. But there's more to eating than just getting
00:31:26.860
the material nutrition for your body. You know, we break bread together and we use that metaphor
00:31:33.360
as having fellowship and community because food is a central part of how human beings get along
00:31:40.740
together. And fast food already diminishes that. Now we're even taking the people out of fast food
00:31:48.080
and we're just going to be interacting with robots, which is deeply depressing.
0.98
00:31:55.100
it is probably a fulfillment of the warning in the Bible not to make dumb idols and worship them
0.97
00:32:01.720
because we will become like them. But increasingly, we're just going to interact with robots in as
0.95
00:32:09.480
much as we do anything at all. There's now a type of AI software that will go into your computer,
00:32:15.240
do your spreadsheets, answer your emails, run your calendar, and presumably the people that
00:32:22.520
you're emailing or that the AI is emailing. Presumably, they also can use that AI software.
00:32:27.860
And so now business is just being conducted between robots. And what are you doing?
00:32:32.740
You're still getting a paycheck for now, but for what? What are you doing? What are you after?
00:32:37.500
What are you doing with your intellect, your real intellect? Does it have any object? Are
00:32:42.460
you contemplating truth? Today, we're very confused about whether or not there is even
00:32:46.760
such a thing as a truth. Are you doing it to shape your will towards some good? Probably not.
00:32:51.700
Now a lot of people deny that there is free will today.
00:32:54.680
We certainly ignore the fact that we are ordered to do good things.
00:33:01.900
You're just going to, I don't know, sit around?
00:33:06.000
You're going to end up, look, I don't want to be too much of a doom and gloomer today,
00:33:09.500
but if you don't watch out with a society that is becoming increasingly automated,
00:33:16.240
in which human interaction is constantly on the decline,
00:33:19.740
marriage is on the decline childbirth is on the decline responsibility is on the decline
00:33:24.400
you're going to find yourself in the same position as the only fans guy
00:33:27.620
reminds me of a line from george bernard shaw who says that hell is the place where you have
00:33:33.760
nothing to do but amuse yourself i actually said that quote providentially today to my little my
00:33:38.720
little kid my eldest son said he goes data playing is boring so that's actually a profound observation
00:33:46.580
Playing can, when you're really engaged in playing, it's kind of for a purpose, and it's, you know, really participating in beauty, and then play can be totally engrossing, you lose track of time.
00:33:54.700
But sometimes playing, when you're just saying, I play for an hour, it could be kind of boring, because there's no object to it, there's no end, there's no purpose.
00:34:03.320
And I say, son, I told him this as I was walking to the breakfast table, I said, son, it's a profound truth observed by George Bernard Shaw, that hell is the place where you have nothing to do but amuse yourself.
00:34:14.400
It's going to be a society in which your romantic relationships are with OnlyFans girls,
1.00
00:34:22.940
your food is served to you by a robot, and your work is done by the AI.
00:34:34.800
Okay, speaking of different types of men, we now have the robot men and we have the real men.
00:34:45.460
He's the one who did, because I got high, because I got high.
00:34:51.660
I just really want any excuse to sing those songs from the, was it 90s, 2000s?
00:34:55.740
Anyway, Afro Man is taking over the internet again because he is running a campaign against
00:35:02.740
a local police department, which he says harassed him.

00:35:55.860
Who says, nothing says communism better than a bunch of rich people
00:36:00.300
To tell them they need to continue to suffer for the revolution
00:36:03.340
That's what, I mean, Hassan Piker flies down to Cuba
00:36:09.160
one of the only places that has electricity in all of Havana. The government cuts off electricity
00:36:12.520
to all the poor Cubans, but the people staying at the five-star hotel, the communist tourists,
0.99
00:36:18.080
they get the electricity. And then what does Hassan Piker say? He says, oh yeah,
00:36:23.560
they don't want electricity. It's better for them not to have electricity. They have that
00:36:26.700
island attitude. You know, oh, wouldn't it be so nice? He takes off his Cartier glasses,
00:36:31.280
his 1300 Cartier glasses. He says, you know, wouldn't it be so nice if I didn't need electricity?
00:36:35.140
These guys, they really get it. But it's the revolution, death to America.
00:36:40.620
This is a scene actually in Witness by Whitaker Chambers, one of the great anti-communist books
00:36:46.900
of the 20th century. Whitaker Chambers was a communist, and then he had a conversion. I think
00:36:52.300
he became a Quaker or something. But anyway, he left communism behind, and he exposed a lot of
00:36:57.220
the communist operations in the United States. Worked with Richard Nixon when Nixon was in
00:37:01.420
in Congress. But Whitaker Chambers recounts a story where he's walking with a communist operative
00:37:06.880
and a poor man comes up begging for money. And Whitaker Chambers gives him a coin or something.
00:37:14.500
And the communist turns to Chambers in disgust and says, you shouldn't have done that.
00:37:19.060
Don't do that. Do not give money to the poor people because that will dull their appetite
00:37:25.360
for revolution. You can't actually help them. These people, Code Payne, Kassan Piker, they did
00:37:30.860
not do anything to help the poor cubans who are truly suffering right now because of their
00:37:35.980
government they went down and they had a vacation and they gawked the poor people and they made
00:37:40.460
content content content click click click but the way they would justify that i suspect is the same
00:37:46.700
way that whitaker chambers's communist colleague would justify it say well look no i'm we're
0.95
00:37:50.700
building up their appetite for revolution viva siempre la revolution more caviar please but i
00:38:04.480
You don't need, look, if my singing doesn't call it to memory,
00:38:08.160
here is one of the great songs of millennials' childhood.
00:38:17.820
I was going to get up and find the broom, but then I got high.
00:38:22.060
my room is still messed up and i know why why man yeah hey because i got high because i got high
00:38:32.120
all right i won't this is not this is not one of those jazz cigarettes all right this is not
00:38:41.580
this is pure tobacco but i just in solidarity with afro man i don't know the spirit came upon me
00:38:47.480
afro man is now going viral for another song so that as i understand it afro man's in ohio
00:38:56.280
and someone sends a tip into the police department to raid afro man's house so the cops go in they
00:39:04.820
bust down afro man's door they break some of his stuff but they don't find anything it was a bad
00:39:09.360
tip apparently now you could see why you might want to raid afro man's house i mean he is bragging
00:39:14.060
about committing drug crimes for his whole career.
00:39:17.600
That is, that's actually the only thing he's known for.
00:39:23.360
which is a song about how his music doesn't sell,
00:39:26.760
But you gotta, I sympathize with the cops here,
00:39:34.160
and then he says, hey, you got to pay for my doors and stuff.
00:39:43.040
my money came up short they disconnect my cameras because they are a poor sport they're the predators
00:39:50.920
and the victims and they're suing me in court my proof's on the internet
00:39:57.460
so he's walking around if you're only listening he's got this american flag suit on with an
00:40:04.120
american flag tie and american flag sunglasses and he's saying these people you know they bust
0.79
00:40:09.840
into my house. Now they're suing me. You know why they're suing him? Because Afro man had security
0.99
00:40:14.940
cameras in his house. And so when they busted in, he took that footage and made a music video about
00:40:20.440
it, which is kind of vulgar and it's kind of mean, but anyway, he's making fun of them. And then they
00:40:26.960
sued him for defamation. He said, you can't sue me for defamation. It's just video you busted into
00:40:30.500
my house. And now he's making more music, making fun of them. And I don't know about the particulars
00:40:37.500
of this case. I don't really care whether the cops in this case or Afro Man is in the right.
1.00
00:40:44.040
Just a little lesson on political communications. Afro Man is the hero of the story. There's no
1.00
00:40:50.320
question. He is universally being lauded. And in as much as anyone's weighing in on the cops,
00:40:56.000
the cops are being derided. Even among right-wingers. The right-wingers, we back the blue.
00:41:02.920
We were the thin blue line patch. We love cops. We support law and order.
00:41:06.320
We want, especially these days, we want to support our cops even more.
00:41:10.020
The left is against, but why is Afro man the hero here?
1.00
00:41:12.680
It's a very simple answer because he's wrapping himself in the American flag.
00:41:20.400
This is a political insight that is so basic that great political philosophers have known
00:41:25.940
since antiquity and a lot of modern people forget the lesson.
00:41:32.220
This was one of the biggest missteps the Democrats made last year, the last few years.
00:41:58.280
and the Republicans become the patriotic party.
00:42:02.340
The Republicans win unified government in 2024.
00:42:05.660
It's really, politics 101, wrap yourself in the flag.
00:42:09.620
You even see this lesson misunderstood by some radical right-wingers.
00:42:15.580
But some of the radical right-wingers, they'll argue in their think tanks and in their, you know, academic faculty lounges.
00:42:22.880
They'll say, well, you know, actually, the American Revolution was, it was run by free Masonic liberals.
0.58
00:42:30.600
And, you know, really it made all of these terrible assumptions.
00:42:37.820
We need a kind of a monarchical reactionary revolution now.
00:42:42.640
And the true conservative wants to get rid of George Washington.
00:42:46.040
You just think, look, man, I can almost, I sort of follow your argument,
0.93
00:42:53.420
Look, I get your argument, but you're missing one of the most basic aspects of politics.
0.93
00:42:58.900
And you need to learn it from Professor Afro-Man over here,
1.00

Which is, you can be a drug-dealing criminal rapper, and you can get everyone to rally to your side, even when you're fighting the cops, as long as you wrap yourself in the flag.
00:43:16.700
Now, speaking of pop culture, this is some good news.
00:43:22.200
And, you know, there's a lot of bad news in the pop culture, but this is some good news.
00:43:26.180
Lego has just announced its largest Lego set ever.
00:43:30.820
And in our culture, what would you expect that Lego set to be?
00:43:38.940
To be, you know, the Kamala sitting under a coconut tree set, right?
00:43:53.500
I think they're charging $600 for this or something.
00:43:55.380
It is the Sagrada Familia Basilica in Barcelona.
00:44:00.000
this is good news for the culture. We're not done yet. The hottest toy that's coming out this year
00:44:08.160
is of a Catholic church that has been built for how many years now? It's like 140 years or
00:44:13.680
something. They started building this thing in 1882. It's not even completed yet. It's expected
00:44:19.820
to be completed in 2034. This is such good news in the abstract that I'm even willing to overlook
00:44:26.700
the fact that this church is one of the ugliest buildings ever made. It's so bad. I had the
0.90
00:44:33.480
privilege of visiting Spain one time, and I got to see this in Barcelona. And it's pretty ugly.
00:44:39.780
It looks like a melted anthill or some kind of weird distorted honeycomb. It's supposed to be
00:44:48.440
kind of like a neo-Gothic church, like all those great Gothic churches of Europe. But it's weird
00:44:54.620
because it's modern. So it started to be built in the late 19th century, and then it goes on
00:44:59.660
for a long time. It can take centuries for these cathedrals to be built. And so as other people
00:45:04.460
took over, it somehow got even worse. And when you go inside of it, it's quite stunning. It's
00:45:09.640
still a little too weird for me to say it's beautiful, but it's quite stunning. The way
00:45:13.680
the glass plays and the light, it's really stunning, but it's ugly. It's just ugly.
00:45:26.880
I think I'm going to be pilloried from all sides for this.
00:45:29.940
The people who say I'm a Philistine for not appreciating the modern basilica.
00:45:33.880
The people who say I'm too much of a religious nut to be focused on the toy church.
00:45:40.840
I'm going to take the win, but let's not lie to ourselves.
00:45:46.440
let's not have artificial intelligence and let's it's not they could have done the cathedral of
00:45:51.920
