00:02:10.220 It is the only time in your life where you can genuinely be selfish.

00:02:13.480 You can be as selfish as you want.

00:02:15.080 It's all about you.

00:02:15.740 You don't have to text someone, hey, baby, I'm going here.

00:02:25.900 You don't have to sit there

00:02:26.640 What do you want to watch?

00:02:27.460 What do you want to watch?

00:02:28.120 I don't care what you want to watch, actually

00:02:29.720 I could never care less

00:02:31.260 I want to watch what I want to watch 1.00

00:02:32.280 If you don't like it, f*** off 0.99

00:02:33.200 Sorry 1.00

00:02:34.080 Mental institution

00:02:35.620 This is crazy 0.99

00:02:36.740 F*** me a straight jacket 0.99

00:02:38.440 I can do whatever I want 0.99

00:02:39.740 I can go travel

00:02:40.680 And not have to worry about

00:02:41.620 Oh, who's going to be there?

00:02:42.580 What are you going to do?

00:02:44.260 It's just like genuinely all about you

00:02:45.580 And then, okay, maybe you're happy

00:02:46.820 Maybe you have a boyfriend

00:02:47.480 Maybe you have a husband

00:02:48.020 Then you have kids 1.00

00:02:48.700 Oh my god 0.98

00:02:49.700 mommy i need this mommy i want that like shut up i'm trying to watch love island like why do i have 0.74

00:02:55.540 to get up to provide for you like as a mom you have the entire rest of your life to do things 0.72

00:02:59.860 for other kids oh my god you guys can't even fathom that i can't even fathom that for the

00:03:04.620 rest of your life you have to clock in that that sounds like hell i mean obviously you like like

00:03:10.780 the kids but like literally being single well i guess you might be single with kids but i just

00:03:16.460 mean like when you're young and single like love it appreciate it stop trying to find a boyfriend

00:03:21.180 i also need more single people in my life because why does everyone have a boyfriend you have the

00:03:26.120 rest of your life to be taken appreciate the time that you're single yeah okay i think this is a bit

00:03:30.620 i the performance didn't seem genuine and sincere to me so i don't i think she's kind of doing a

00:03:36.660 character but whatever let's take the character on her own terms she gives up the whole game there

00:03:41.300 right at the end she goes it's awesome being single it's great i could be selfish f you f that

00:03:45.960 I don't want to think about kids.

00:03:47.360 I don't want to think about a boyfriend.

00:03:48.280 You think, oh, wow, why are you single?

00:03:49.480 I can't even imagine. 1.00

00:03:50.460 But then she gives the game away at the end when she goes, 0.98

00:03:52.840 also, I need more single friends.

00:03:54.120 Why does everybody have a boyfriend? 1.00

00:03:55.300 She reveals that being single doesn't,

00:03:59.720 it doesn't work out in practice

00:04:01.300 the way it seems to work in theory.

00:04:03.360 You see that?

00:04:03.920 Because she says, it's great.

00:04:05.020 I'm single.

00:04:05.540 So I can go hang out with my friends all the time,

00:04:07.240 except I can't because all my friends have boyfriends

00:04:09.920 or are married or have kids.

00:04:12.080 So wait, if everybody else in the world

00:04:15.940 just did what I wanted them to do,

00:04:18.500 then I would be really happy being totally selfish.

00:04:21.740 If I were not just selfish, but omnipotent,

00:04:26.240 and it's not just that I cater to my own whims,

00:04:29.140 but everybody else has to cater to my whims.

00:04:31.020 And if everybody were single and went out to brunch with me,

00:04:33.440 then I'd be having a great time.

00:04:36.140 But because it is not true,

00:04:38.120 because other people do not just worship me,

00:04:41.640 and other people are not as self-interested as I am,

00:04:45.020 I don't have friends to go out with so I can't actually do the things that I say I get to do

00:04:50.680 when I'm single it's totally self-undermining I still think it's a bit but if it's not a bit

00:04:55.880 and she keeps up that way she's gonna she's gonna be single for a long time about to be 40 and I'm

00:05:00.880 single I've never married never been engaged I used to think this was my worst case scenario

00:05:04.360 and now it's not I live in my beautifully decorated apartment I have unlimited cats

00:05:10.380 I can adopt as many cats as I want. I can get six more of these cats and I don't have to ask

00:05:15.320 anyone. I could also adopt as many chihuahuas as I would like. I have grilled dinner almost every

00:05:20.280 single night of the week except for today. For example, my friends randomly asked, do you want

00:05:25.740 to go to happy hour? And I said, yeah, I don't have to check with anyone. I don't have to plan

00:05:29.320 with anyone and think, gosh, can we go to happy? Can I go to happy hour? Like, what are you going

00:05:33.260 to do? Can like, is that okay? Also, if a friend asked me to go on a trip, I just go. I don't have

00:05:38.280 to ask anyone is that okay do we have the budget for this it's my budget it's my life i can do

00:05:43.460 whatever i want okay there are two parts to this video and they contradict each other so the woman

00:05:49.280 gives up the game here in the first part of the video and then she spends the second part of the

00:05:53.320 video trying to claw back what does she say in the first part look not at what she says so much

00:05:59.120 as what she is doing she says okay i'm almost 40 so she's in her late 30s and she says i'm i'm not

00:06:05.620 married. That's true of a lot of women in their late 30s. That is true. This is an epidemic among

00:06:10.800 millennial women. And it's made a lot of them very sad, understandably. And they're trying to figure 0.71

00:06:15.200 out what went wrong in our culture and in their education that this is the case. Because it's not

00:06:19.880 just an individual thing. A lot of women out there feeling this. So she says, I'm in my late 30s. 1.00

00:06:25.520 I've never been married. I've never been single. I've never been married. I've never been engaged.

00:06:31.040 And I'm really happy about that.

00:06:32.860 Hey, I doubt it.

00:06:34.360 So what she's saying is one thing. 0.96

00:06:36.500 What she is doing is she is advertising to men that she is available and desirable.

00:06:43.040 Because most men would prefer to date a woman who has never been married before.

00:06:47.260 And they would even prefer to date a woman who has never been engaged before.

00:06:50.760 So what she is doing is advertising herself to an audience, largely of men.

00:06:55.620 And she's saying, hey, I'm desirable.

00:06:58.840 I have these features.

00:06:59.860 I'm a good-looking woman.

00:07:02.180 I'm presenting myself by using the number 40,

00:07:06.980 but I'm qualifying it to say I'm not yet 40.

00:07:09.600 I'm younger.

00:07:10.160 I'm younger than what I...

00:07:11.660 And I've never been in this very serious relationship,

00:07:14.800 so I don't bring that baggage.

00:07:16.900 But anyway, I'm really happy about being single.

00:07:18.880 How do you like being single?

00:07:20.480 I love it, I love it, I love it.

00:07:22.980 So I think her behavior is contradicting

00:07:25.100 what she says that she wants.

00:07:26.120 And so I say, okay, on the one hand,

00:07:28.180 it's good that she clearly wants to get married. And it's very painful for women who struggle with

00:07:33.880 that in our decadent, depraved culture, where a lot of women do. The second thing I like 1.00

00:07:37.780 is that she's got this grateful disposition. She doesn't seem resentful. She doesn't seem

00:07:44.000 like a bra-burning, man-hating lesbian, does she? No, she certainly does not. She sounds grateful. 1.00

00:07:53.780 you know what? I thought that I'd be married by now. And I'm still desirable. And I thought,

00:08:00.300 but, but, you know, I have these nice things in my life. I have my friends and I can travel

00:08:04.100 and I can go get drinks. And I actually like that. That's good. You want that rather than,

00:08:08.320 you know, rather than some screechy, resentful response. The only part that's wrong is,

00:08:13.380 I think she might be believing her own press releases a little too much.

00:08:16.840 The first two aspects of the video established that she would like to be married. And you know

00:08:22.340 what? It's good to be married. And it's hard to get married today. And so, yeah, that's all good

00:08:25.740 stuff. But she starts to believe her own press releases here. And she says, and it's great. I

00:08:29.760 don't want to have to ask anybody. And I want to have, I don't want to just have one cat. I want

00:08:33.200 to have like 50 cats. And I don't know. No, you don't. You obviously don't. And it's okay. I know

00:08:37.740 it makes you vulnerable. It makes you feel embarrassed in some ways. If you say, I want

00:08:43.340 these things that I don't yet have. That's true of anything, especially marriage, but it's true

00:08:47.040 anything. But you have to be honest. You would like to be married. You could be married. You

00:08:53.500 seem nice. You look good. You seem very lovely. Let's stick with that. The last part, nobody buys

00:08:59.860 it. And you shouldn't. The sad part is you might be the only one convincing yourself of that.

00:09:05.100 Don't buy it. Next one. I'm 45 years old and life doesn't look like what I thought it would.

00:09:09.860 I'm single, never married, no kids. I rent a small studio apartment. My income comes in waves

00:09:15.900 through various side hustles like content creation and pet sitting. I don't have health insurance and

00:09:20.960 sometimes I worry about my ability to afford my own existence and a part of me is embarrassed by

00:09:26.300 that because it's hard not to measure life through a series of milestones and on paper I'm missing

00:09:31.620 most of them. But I'm where I'm at in life due to a series of choices. I quit my corporate job

00:09:37.000 because exchanging five days a week for a subpar salary wasn't worth it and I stopped chasing

00:09:42.360 romance because i always seem to lose myself in unhealthy relationships i opted out of the systems

00:09:48.120 i was told would keep me safe because i'd rather be belly laughing with my friends than searching

00:09:53.080 for a partner and i'd rather be alone in the mountains on a random tuesday than stuck under

00:09:57.720 fluorescent lights counting down until friday the average lifespan is around 80 years which means i

00:10:03.400 am likely over halfway through mine with no guarantee i'll even make it that far and while 0.99

00:10:08.360 Yeah, but she is running someone else's race.

00:10:33.220 I mean, she is chasing one of the most basic things that all people, 1.00

00:10:37.960 and especially women want, which is social media 1.00

00:10:40.060 fame. You know, what 1.00

00:10:41.600 is she doing? She is 0.98

00:10:43.900 she is

00:10:45.640 trying to make herself famous 1.00

00:10:48.220 on the internet. My 0.91

00:10:49.880 main goal is to blow up 0.86

00:10:51.820 and then act like I don't know nobody. 0.73

00:10:55.480 So

00:10:56.040 the content itself

00:10:57.760 is trying to present her as some

00:10:59.620 spiritually enlightened baba sitting on the

00:11:01.860 banks of the Ganges or something. But what

00:11:03.820 she's actually doing, the thing that you don't see in

00:11:05.840 the video is the camera. 0.90

00:11:07.280 You know, and she's performing for millions of strangers and especially for men.

00:11:12.440 She's trying to arouse the sexual appetites of men because the video amid the nice shots of the trees and the granola she's eating or whatever is her mostly naked wearing this thong, you know, jiggling her body parts in the water and the glistening water.

00:11:27.740 And so it's sad because she is, on the one hand, seeming very self-aware.

00:11:34.940 He says, yeah, I made a lot of mistakes

00:11:36.480 and I had these bad relationships

00:11:37.780 and I screwed up in some ways,

00:11:40.900 but now I'm doing things differently.

00:11:42.920 In some ways, she seems very self-aware.

00:11:44.780 In other ways, she seems totally oblivious

00:11:47.320 to what she's doing,

00:11:48.340 which is she's not doing anything

00:11:51.100 that she says she is doing.

00:11:54.020 You know, she's not just going out into the woods

00:11:56.260 and being alone with her thoughts.

00:11:58.140 She's not alone.

00:11:58.760 She's in front of millions of people

00:11:59.820 because she has to film the whole thing. 0.98

00:12:01.760 She hasn't stopped chasing romance. 1.00

00:12:03.700 she's jiggling half naked on camera for men she isn't doing those things and so you know with her

00:12:12.080 this video is different from some of the other ones where they say hey i'm still of childbearing

00:12:16.100 years but i'm getting toward the finish line and you know i haven't been married or engaged before

00:12:20.940 and hey guys you know come on hit me up so pick me choose me love me uh here you know she's 45

00:12:30.700 it's very unlikely that she's going to have kids. 1.00

00:12:32.580 She could get married,

00:12:33.220 but it's unlikely that she'll have kids.

00:12:35.680 And so she is grappling with that,

00:12:38.540 that it's not just getting late to do this thing

00:12:40.960 that women have a drive to do,

00:12:42.520 but she's past that. 1.00

00:12:44.460 And maybe she could adopt a kid,

00:12:45.560 maybe she could be involved

00:12:46.780 in the lives of other kids in her family,

00:12:48.480 but having her own biological kid

00:12:50.340 is probably not going to happen.

00:12:51.200 And so she has to grapple with that. 0.86

00:12:54.540 And what's a little schizo about the video, 0.73

00:12:57.020 the whole video is schizo,

00:12:57.980 But what is especially schizo is she, on the one hand, seems to present herself as really totally being at peace. 0.85

00:13:07.400 But on the other, she's clearly still wracked by guilt and feelings of inadequacy and regret and mistakes. 0.97

00:13:14.060 And she's compounding and reiterating those mistakes.

00:13:16.940 And probably what would help her is to say, you know what?

00:13:21.040 Yeah, I've gone through these traumas, self-inflicted traumas even.

00:13:25.880 And so that's bad.

00:13:27.980 But you know what? I'm going to turn over a new leaf, not by being weirder, not by moving

00:13:35.500 even further away from the norms of flourishing life than I already have, but by moving closer

00:13:41.500 toward them. Rather than I'm going to go live in the woods, which she's not doing. She's like

00:13:46.660 an Instagram girl. She's a TikTok girl. But she's presenting herself as a woman in the wilderness.

00:13:54.020 Rather than doing that, she could just say, you know what?

00:13:56.460 Made some mistakes.

00:13:57.820 Things haven't totally worked out the way I thought they would.

00:14:00.060 But I'm going to pursue those goods.

00:14:02.240 The goods that are still available to me, I'm going to pursue them because I realized

00:14:06.280 that my unhealthy relationships and behaviors in the past were bad.

00:14:09.900 And so I'm going to try to be more normal.

00:14:11.560 But she's doing exactly the opposite.

00:14:13.200 Next one.

00:14:13.520 I love being single.

00:14:15.540 And it's because I truly have a confidence of being with myself.

00:14:21.920 Notice, I didn't say by myself.

00:14:24.420 I said with myself because I'm with me.

00:14:27.700 I'm with my best friends.

00:14:29.280 I'm with my confidant.

00:14:30.920 I'm with my therapist.

00:14:32.500 I'm with my makeup artist.

00:14:34.040 And it comes from a space of understanding that no one can give me what I already have.

00:14:40.420 So if I want to feel love, I am love.

00:14:44.780 I am love.

00:14:46.800 I don't get it from a partner.

00:14:49.820 Wow.

00:14:50.200 That's sad.

00:14:50.720 The minute she said, I am with myself, it occurred to me that she was describing herself as God.

00:14:57.280 Because you can't be with yourself.

00:14:58.800 You have to be by yourself because to be with implies another.

00:15:03.000 But if you are alone, you are necessarily not with something else.

00:15:09.080 It sounds like she's describing herself as God because God is three distinct persons in one divine unity.

00:15:14.680 This is the central mystery of the Christian faith.

00:15:16.360 It's the Holy Trinity, something that we cannot perfectly comprehend even in principle in our

00:15:21.340 limited reason. And so, one conclusion that we draw from the Trinity, which we see in Revelation,

00:15:29.080 is that God doesn't need anything from us. God is a community in himself. And this is how

00:15:38.200 God can say that God is love. And so, when she said that, she said, I am love,

00:15:45.080 That is a direct claim.

00:15:46.760 That is a pretty explicit claim to being God,

00:15:48.540 which a lot of these new age, lefty, woo-woo kind of people say.

00:15:52.240 I am God.

00:15:55.780 And it's sad because they're coping

00:15:57.000 and they're trying to make themselves feel better,

00:15:59.140 but it's such a lie.

00:16:00.460 And it's actually a really blasphemous kind of lie.

00:16:02.900 Are you about to engage in blasphemy?

00:16:05.280 It's only going to make it worse.

00:16:06.500 You're making a God of the self

00:16:07.620 and you are not sufficient to be God.

00:16:10.940 You're not that guy, pal.

00:16:12.100 Trust me, you're not that guy.

00:16:13.580 You're going to, you as, God will not disappoint you, but you as God will disappoint you.

00:16:19.080 The Trinitarian nature of God is actually the only way that we can explain that God is love.

00:16:27.380 His love is willing the good of another. So if God were merely singular, you know,

00:16:34.920 if you had this kind of Unitarian conception of God, the phrase God is love wouldn't make any

00:16:39.100 sense. But the Trinitarian understanding of God makes sense of that phrase because the Son is

00:16:47.100 eternally begotten of God the Father, and the Holy Spirit is the bond of love between the Father and

00:16:53.160 the Son. So anyway, she's not the Trinity. She's not a Unitarian God. She's not really any serious

00:16:58.100 God. And the more she tries to turn herself into that, the more she's going to be disappointed.

00:17:03.220 I'm not just talking about the Trinity because it's an interesting theological concept. This

00:17:08.640 actually really pertains to the romantic relationships too, because we see in the family

00:17:14.660 a kind of, we see the image of God. You know, we ourselves are made in the image and likeness of

00:17:20.900 God. And we in the family co-create with God because the love between a man and a woman

00:17:28.760 is so real, it's so imminent that it actually creates another human being. And it is the way

00:17:34.560 that we most directly participate in God's creative power.

00:17:38.880 So the family, there's a kind of little trinity

00:17:43.060 that we see within the family,

00:17:45.220 but you can't do that alone.

00:17:47.320 You can't do that by yourself.

00:17:49.520 We're not mitotic creatures yet.

00:17:51.760 You don't just kind of split off into a clone.

00:17:54.520 Check this out.

00:17:56.280 Cool, huh?

00:17:57.420 I bet you wish you could do this. 1.00

00:17:59.100 So this woman's totally going to be disappointed 1.00

00:18:03.000 and she has a lot of new age, woo-woo, self-help, 1.00

00:18:08.540 girl power, feminist, occult nonsense to blame for that.

00:18:11.640 But it doesn't matter where you place the blame. 1.00

00:18:13.180 It's only going to make her sad.

00:18:14.880 And when you take your ideology so far

00:18:17.500 that you're claiming to be God,

00:18:18.660 you've made a wrong turn.

00:18:19.680 You need to turn around and move in the other direction.

00:18:21.780 Okay, I'm Michael Knowles.
