00:01:29.760 smile there so that's a smile for you vote that's my smile vote for stelios thank you very much

00:01:36.640 i'm the mayor who cares this message is endorsed by stelios panayatu yes you're running for like

00:01:42.640 governor in wisconsin or something that's a wholesome republican look you've got there

00:01:46.560 yeah i would totally vote for that guy great he looks like a he looks like a mitt romney moderate

00:01:53.440 you'd vote you look too moderate you look too moderate so a hundred percent of the votes works

00:01:58.160 every time how many black schools do you have tattooed on you as you're running for campaign

00:02:02.560 it depends depends depends right okay so let's go to japan and how based it is yes well i've sort of

00:02:11.600 my working title is has japan gone fully based because this is the question some people say it

00:02:15.520 has with this new leader and some people say well no actually that's a little bit of hype

00:02:19.520 so look at uh the new leader some of the twitter responses and and and some of the left not

00:02:24.480 understanding the rights view on immigration in japan and they think we should why they don't

00:02:29.040 understand that we don't actually want to we want to respect countries boundaries anyway so we've got um

00:02:33.360 um sanai takichi i'm gonna have to try and pronounce his name how is it sanai thank you this is going

00:02:40.960 to be a problem throughout but i'm just going to go to you for every pronunciation because i can't

00:02:44.960 pronounce we've got house weeb now i'm incredibly english and uh i refuse on principle to pronounce

00:02:50.000 these names um so she has won a historic vote to become japan's first female prime minister um she's

00:02:57.120 known as japan's iron lady because she's an admirer of thatcher uh but she we'll get into why that

00:03:04.320 she's not necessarily that much like that because she's she's a pro today of uh shinzo abi is that

00:03:09.040 was that close yeah he was of course tragically killed um she was a heavy metal drummer so something

00:03:14.320 in common with harry although you're not a guitarist still i have respect for drummers yeah

00:03:18.960 uh she uh trump of course hailed her as a highly respected person of great wisdom total wisdom so

00:03:26.720 and that actually there's some connection there as well because she used to be a talk show host as

00:03:30.400 well as a heavy metal drummer they're just some little factoids um but she's uh she's not completely

00:03:36.400 on board with like thatch right policies so this is a little bit more about here this tells to meet

00:03:40.080 japan's from playing thatch-loving first female prime minister and it talks about how she actually is uh

00:03:45.360 uh into kind of the abenomics the uh big spending and cheap borrowing uh so it's not necessarily like

00:03:51.120 a thatch right economic policy and she's a hawk on foreign policy it says she's been a regular visitor

00:03:56.320 to the controversial yasakuni shrine is that close which is the the shine that honors japan's war dead

00:04:03.600 and that's quite not just the post the second world war dead but going back to the 19th century

00:04:07.920 and some people find that controversial she's a maiden and deep purple fan she's got my vote

00:04:12.800 yeah exactly she used to be heavy metal i mean that's pretty wild quite japanese and there it

00:04:17.200 says she was a television host um now she is uh also called for restrictions on the country's

00:04:22.400 self-defense forces which were forbidden the course from having offensive capabilities this kind of

00:04:26.800 thing so she's she is on the right of course but is she as right-wing as everyone says that's what

00:04:33.520 i'm wondering because she's partly there to hold the sansito is that right the actual so-called

00:04:39.680 far-right party is this is this basically she's proposing something like battle royale

00:04:44.560 but with commies that that would be great i'm not quite sure it is fully that because really partly

00:04:50.640 she's there to sort of hold at bay kind of like the tories trying to hold reform at bay or something

00:04:54.960 like that the uh these guys who are sansito who are the actual right-wing party who as it says there

00:05:02.000 they went from one seat to 14 seats at the last election and they were very much on an anti-immigration

00:05:09.600 vibe they said uh it's built its platform on a nationalist japanese first agenda warning against a

00:05:15.200 silent invasion of foreigners so he's also their leaders also handed out pamphlets in the past i think

00:05:21.680 covering even more controversial subjects which he's got in trouble for right right and they came as it

00:05:27.520 says here from the uh 2020 the party was born in 2020 during the kobe 19 pandemic where it gained

00:05:32.800 prominence with youtube videos that spread conspiracy theories about vaccination so probably just means

00:05:36.800 told the truth about the vaccine um and also they talk about how their response to the situation with

00:05:44.320 immigration in japan and if you don't know it's hit a record 3.8 million at the end of 2024

00:05:49.520 it doesn't say in any of these articles but i've heard net migration is up to just over 150

00:05:53.840 thousand a year still way below ours but i mean that's not what you want no and so the figure in

00:06:00.240 2024 was a 10.5 increase from the previous year so now immigrants make up three percent of the

00:06:05.840 country's total population and tourists also hit an all-time high of 36.9 million so japan's not

00:06:11.440 necessarily thrilled with all of that and as this points out japan has traditionally been wary of

00:06:17.280 immigration but faced with an aging population the government has eased immigration laws in recent

00:06:22.240 years an effort to boost manpower so after abe there was all this sort of more globalist stuff

00:06:26.400 and they're like oh we need him which and you run into what paul molin dr paul molin calls a trilemma

00:06:31.840 which is he talks about egotism by which he is just a convenient term for not having children which

00:06:37.360 you were accusing me of before we started uh true economic growth and ethnocentrism and his claim is

00:06:43.120 you can pick two of these but not all three so japan has basically gone for ethnocentrism and what

00:06:48.400 he's calling egotism they haven't had children so their economic growth has suffered whereas like

00:06:52.720 in britain we've gone for trying to get economic growth though still fails and we've had the

00:06:57.200 egotism ie not high enough birth rate so he sees it like that but because of all this of course people

00:07:02.320 are upset about the new levels of immigration so sancito is growing so in my it seems to me what's

00:07:07.680 happened is they've had to bring in takiichi is that close um to try and quell the sort of threat from the

00:07:14.240 further right and so anyway that's the basic overview of what's what's happened and twitter

00:07:19.200 is responding with a mixture of misinformation and banter as you expect and some good points

00:07:24.800 uh this is a funny one why are feminists not celebrating because she's the first female

00:07:29.680 prime minister right but it never seems to work like that when it's uh they never celebrate the

00:07:34.320 thatchers or the baloney yeah yeah they actually they say frequently that they're not real women

00:07:39.920 right whereas the left is so famous for supporting real women

00:07:47.120 so that was just a funny tweet that was kind of random but lots of claims about whether they're

00:07:50.880 actually doing mass deportation so basil here says japan got to three percent foreigners and

00:07:55.200 elected a hardline conservative determined to preserve their country by deporting invaders

00:08:00.080 meanwhile in britain we're soon going to become a minority in our own country and if you complain

00:08:03.520 you're arrested well that part's true not quite true because in a way it's not really accurate that

00:08:07.840 japan elected because it's really a leadership election so the ldp her party has been in power

00:08:14.560 pretty much since 1955 right except for two periods 93 to 96 and i think 2009 to 2012 it's basically been

00:08:22.240 in power the whole time right so this is it sounds like you know it's essentially been a one-party

00:08:26.320 state in terms of functional practice yeah so it i mean but they have changed out who you know how

00:08:31.360 their leadership works and the directions that they go with the party over time but it is kind of

00:08:34.880 bizarre to from the outside perspective it's easy to put on you know like um allusions to trump has

00:08:40.320 been the main one right but this is the same political party just keep on trucking as it has

00:08:46.080 been just a change of leadership yeah but so she is a changed is it a change like slightly to the right

00:08:51.440 to address the threat of the right in japan but while maintaining the same party is that i mean from

00:08:55.680 my understanding it probably it looks like it's a reaction to that for sure yeah and there's been a lot

00:08:59.760 of things that have um inspired a lot of fear in people regarding immigration i know there was that

00:09:04.960 little story that that scared people for a while just a couple months ago where it was something

00:09:08.160 about how nigerians were going to be given free housing in little nigerian villages in japan and that

00:09:13.520 turned out to not be true exactly but that was something that they were discussing essentially of

00:09:19.360 building these like little nigerian towns building ghettos yes is the way that it was in it for a um

00:09:26.560 what did they call it like sister country program how do you even float that idea i can understand

00:09:32.400 the concern if these ideas are even being floated especially because japan has all the evidence for

00:09:39.360 why they don't want mass migration into their country by just simply looking west and from yeah

00:09:45.120 that apparently was not exactly what they wanted they wanted like maybe a couple people a handful to

00:09:50.560 be cultural ambassadors or something i don't know exactly but they were not going to mass import

00:09:54.880 people however the people went out into the streets and mass protested over it uh and and in other i

00:09:59.360 think that's i i think that's good because whether or not those are the ideas actually being banded about

00:10:05.840 you want to let them know as soon as possible before things do get overwhelming

00:10:11.120 we're not in favor of this you need to not do these things because it is always the slippery slope

00:10:16.320 it's the snowball where it starts off and then it turns into an avalanche yeah and there was a very

00:10:21.120 negative reaction to that so yeah yeah all right but it's good see i don't know loads about this

00:10:25.520 it's great to get all this extra information i'm just uh sharing it so the other person who is being

00:10:29.600 talked about a lot is kimmy anoda another attempt to pronunciation and um and this there's some of

00:10:34.880 these claims going around on twitter that she's sort of dedicated to in a ministry dedicated to mass

00:10:38.960 deportations which this tweet claims but then a community note says no she's actually been tasked with

00:10:44.080 handling issues related to ordinary coexistence with foreigners and immigration and so it's probably not quite

00:10:49.680 you know it's we want this sort of based mass deportations department may or may not be quite

00:10:55.040 true it's exaggerations a lot of it sounds like people just getting excited rather than

00:11:00.000 intentionally trying to spread misinformation i think people it's the same thing that happens over

00:11:05.600 here like when boris got in he's like he's gonna get brexit done britain's gonna be so back

00:11:10.720 it's not necessarily because these people were bad actors it's because they got caught up in the media

00:11:15.760 storm and got really excited and it's tricky because also the mainstream media lies so i'm

00:11:20.000 trying to find out what's the truth i mean uh so their their paper the morning sun in translation

00:11:26.160 has this from about anoda it says that she um it's so it's not so it's the claim there's it doesn't say

00:11:34.800 that she's doing mass deportations but she does say crimes and disruptive behavior by some foreign

00:11:39.120 nationals as well as inappropriate use of public systems are causing anxiety and a sense of unfairness

00:11:44.000 among japanese citizens i can't imagine what that's like um no yeah so she she's talking about

00:11:50.400 uh reducing crime and misbehavior of foreigners quote so there is there is that going on and just

00:11:57.280 a bit of background you were talking to me before the podcast about her she uh she went to she was

00:12:02.320 born in america and then she moved to japan at age one so she's kind of like the kemi i was like

00:12:07.280 you know how kemi is um is obviously british she's american you know she can't she can't speak english

00:12:13.040 that well because she moved back at one and this is just a fairly silly tweet saying white father

00:12:17.760 abandons her and her mother mother moves back to japan yeah we got rid of getting rid of all the

00:12:21.760 gaijin so that's uh that's what that tweet's claiming i irish american father typical irish behavior

00:12:27.760 yeah yeah and i there's another one which somehow has not appeared where someone says um it's great to

00:12:32.480 see her um someone actually using their daddy issues to protect civilization for what i've lost that to

00:12:38.000 is should be there anyway so this claim of whether she's actually doing deportations uh newsweek say

00:12:43.520 no they say it's a false claim about uh spreading online that she wants to do mass deportations

00:12:49.760 they claim it's not true they say instead immigration was a central theme in sakiichi's

00:12:54.480 political platform with the hardline conservative calling for a crackdown

00:12:57.600 on illegal immigrants and foreign nationals who overstay their visas she also raised concerns about

00:13:02.160 unruly behavior and last month claimed foreign visitors had kicked

00:13:05.600 sacred deer in nara park a popular tourist site they're kicking the deer basically is what is what

00:13:12.240 you say imagine that that is terrible so they have these if you don't know that you probably know but

00:13:15.600 they have these sacred deer they're thought to be like a connection to the spirit world historically

00:13:20.160 and they're also particularly nice because they bow to tourists which they've sort of evolved to do

00:13:24.240 over years these deer bow at everyone and apparently they were being kicked by foreigners foreigners

00:13:30.640 non-descript foreigners yes so all white foreigners were kicking these deer i'm sure

00:13:37.920 yeah so point is there is like a sort of uh concern about these things but it might not be

00:13:42.960 mass deportations um it says uh neither the prime minister nor her cabinet has made statements pointing

00:13:48.720 to a plan to deport foreigners on mass likewise no mention of a deportation related ministry can be

00:13:53.840 found on the website of the prime minister though it does list the minister in charge of a society of

00:13:58.320 well-ordered and harmonious coexistence with foreign nationals uh so good luck with that um anyway so

00:14:05.360 that was just a sort of overview of all that are they doing mass deportations or not don't know but

00:14:10.080 maybe they're sort of somewhat based um and it's quite funny watching the left try to understand

00:14:16.240 what's going on because someone put here i don't think she is far right but i've said far right

00:14:20.240 politician has become japan's first female prime minister and then evan loves wolf replies it's funny

00:14:24.880 seeing white right wingers celebrate this she hates you too and then as i mean she probably

00:14:30.880 doesn't but also harry replied with this banger 33 000 likes unlike you i don't believe that access

00:14:36.800 to japan and japanese people is my human right and that's kind of the point the left struggle to

00:14:41.600 understand it's not always just about imposing yourself because all their values just about imposing

00:14:45.440 themselves like oh women should be in men's spaces oh men you know like men's clubs for example men

00:14:50.320 should be in women's spaces when it comes to the transition it's like oh we should be in every

00:14:53.760 country it's like what about no why it's always about pushing yourself let me tell you what it

00:14:59.360 goes back to it comes back to no dad it's not my bedtime right now that's what it always comes back

00:15:04.880 to no dad i need that gameboy advance no dad i need this it's being told no by their parents

00:15:11.120 you can always count on evan loves worth to give you the most stupid leftist take and the thing is that

00:15:16.480 we're constantly quote tweeting him and we're making him rich that's not i'm not having a go

00:15:21.200 at you i've done so myself hey this got good views for me yeah no no i'm not i'm not having a go i've

00:15:25.920 done so myself it's win-win listen it's a circular economy right he posts cringe i post gems the cycle

00:15:33.920 continues no i i was telling you it's not i'm not having a go at you i've done it myself but i mean

00:15:40.880 it's a bit ridiculous whatever you want to say about the guy he is self-aware because i've seen

00:15:45.040 people responding to him like kind of being dumber than him and he responds to them saying how are you

00:15:52.240 more annoying than i am i saw that exactly his whole thing is that he's trying to post the worst takes

00:15:58.320 possible it's like the so that he can so that he can get traction and views off of it rage bait but

00:16:04.960 it lets me piggyback off the top so you know he's in a kind of cold war with richard henania or something

00:16:09.920 like that like oh god i've got him muted i like there's a level beyond what i can stand yeah it's

00:16:16.400 such a it's a great in the world of twitter engagement that is a great model the rage baiting

00:16:20.800 just and i don't know what words i can say on youtube i was going to say a word beginning with w

00:16:24.720 but rage baiting it's a it's an economy now isn't it anyway that was that was harry's banger and i did

00:16:30.160 a similar one but yours was better so i humbly shared yours um thank you and they really struggled to

00:16:34.880 grasp this idea uh so what's this one oh yeah another one here um lander nobody i meet on the

00:16:40.400 right actively hates foreigners to be honest we just don't want millions of them in england i have

00:16:44.000 literally zero problem with the average nigerian in nigeria or syrian in syria it's not about hate

00:16:48.160 we just love our own people and need to secure our future it seems reasonable that's what they can't

00:16:52.320 really grasp and there was a really interesting tweet about this from this guy i don't know if you

00:16:56.800 saw this a few days ago oh god yeah this this virtue signal yeah yeah so he says japan is

00:17:02.800 some guy called samet japan is an incredible place to live the good massively outweighs the

00:17:07.200 bad but be prepared there are still random moments of racism i've been yelled at for stealing their

00:17:12.080 women while holding my wife's hand called a pos foreigner just walking down the street and even had

00:17:17.360 police called on my shop despite paying taxes pension and running a legitimate business so they're

00:17:21.360 bad because they don't allow him to touch their women right he should be allowed we've had to show cctv

00:17:27.440 footage proving we weren't making a noise at 4am and someone even filed a report claiming a foreigner is

00:17:32.160 running a shop of stolen cars japan is amazing but living here as a foreigner can feel like playing

00:17:36.320 life on hard mode most people who visit for a week never see that side still i love japan and the life

00:17:41.600 i've built here over the past 10 years thank you japan it's break it to you mate but like all of those

00:17:46.800 things are immune reactions and a sign of a healthy society that respects itself i posted something slightly

00:17:54.720 less like hardline version of what you just said and and they just the amount of stuff i got in the

00:17:58.560 replies like are you insane like what are you saying that racism's good i'm like i respect japan's right

00:18:03.200 to be japanese they can't grasp and they and they have a they have a strong definitive sense of

00:18:08.640 themselves and who they are and also i think this happens a lot in the west we look at the society that

00:18:15.360 japan has built and we have a great respect for it because unlike so many places in the world

00:18:20.640 they're civilized i mean if your entire philosophy is whatever helps me is the right thing

00:18:26.320 yeah you're gonna end up with shitty takes like this i'm not i'm not expecting to impose myself

00:18:32.400 on them so arrogant even what he described is so minimal like i i was caught the pos foreigner they

00:18:40.000 didn't even call him something really offensive like barakusai which means butter stink and it's

00:18:44.560 actually considered i i've brought this up before uh i've talked about it because it's an interesting

00:18:48.320 little tidbit um non-japanese people are more likely to have this one allele that causes them to have

00:18:54.240 a very particular particular smell to the japanese so they call it smell pollution so when westerners

00:19:00.960 and and non-japanese people who go over to japan are in their perspective polluting their air so

00:19:06.800 this is actually pretty friendly for them to say of him you know also it just comes across so whiny

00:19:11.840 yeah oh look i look i'm such a victim he's he's like seen it work for people in the west and he's

00:19:18.240 thinking maybe it can work for me no you don't get to go over there and impose yourself on them sadly

00:19:23.760 sadly we're not an imperialist empire anymore and even if we still were japan is not the place that

00:19:30.000 i'd want to be like imposing ourselves on yeah one guy that was attacking me for it i looked in his

00:19:34.240 bio and he was living there at the moment he's like well i can see why you're attacking me but

00:19:37.200 it's this line that really bothers me there are still random moments of racism it's like

00:19:40.480 the arrogance of it is incredible it's like guys you still need to do some work because you need

00:19:44.560 to accept me i mean can you just imagine behaving like that i wouldn't want to be anywhere that didn't

00:19:48.240 want me like if i was crashing little seat and saying like carl didn't want me i wouldn't be here

00:19:52.480 let me incredibly weird he says i mean harry doesn't want me but he gets overruled but if

00:19:57.280 everyone just wherever you are if people just like looking at you i mean what i i want japan to be as

00:20:02.640 racist as possible if i go in a wrestler in japan they should make a hissing noise they should spit in

00:20:07.280 the food they should say the thing you just said that i can't pronounce that's what they say that

00:20:11.040 white people who move to japan longitudinally become they become enforcers of other westerners

00:20:16.080 more so than japanese people themselves because the japanese tend to be very polite and have a lot of

00:20:20.160 societal norms and rules so instead it becomes the people who have actually immigrated there and

00:20:24.880 it's very difficult to actually move there and get citizenship it's very difficult it ends up being

00:20:29.360 other westerners who police their own when they go over and act foolish i'm sure they don't want them

00:20:34.160 to ruin it i mean right exactly yes they know what they've got i guess i mean when we're talking about

00:20:39.040 different places we can always talk about culture and you know evaluate each particular norm and whether you

00:20:45.680 like it or not what we have to respect is that they have the will to maintain themselves i think

00:20:53.920 that's what the average right winger likes about this so for instance you know you could give me a whole

00:21:00.640 list of japanese customs that i may find bad and not to my liking but i do respect this yeah that's

00:21:08.240 what i like it's more like i'm asking myself would i want the government the governments of the

00:21:17.280 western world do what japan is doing right now if the answer is yes i have to respect it yeah and

00:21:23.440 that's what i respect and that's what i think the average right winger respects it it has nothing to do

00:21:28.160 as evan lovesworth would suggest with what benefits us personally because we don't think of ourselves as

00:21:36.320 people who will move to japan and we'll try to make it there yeah we're thinking in terms of us being

00:21:42.720 citizens in countries with ridiculous governments who are not acting well yeah and it's it's you you're

00:21:48.800 espousing sort of nationalism over globalism and saying we don't want everything to be this sludge

00:21:53.040 everyone mixing together it's great that japan is japan it's so different they've got amazing

00:21:57.360 architecture and all these things you could cite but it is japan it's so clearly japan and everywhere

00:22:02.080 why can't everywhere just be why can't norway be norway and japan japan and nigeria be nigeria why

00:22:06.400 do we want this slop of everything which is together we don't but some people do i suppose if you want

00:22:10.800 to be imperialist about it and you want to it's kind of an imperialist mindset actually to go over and

00:22:14.480 conquer somewhere isn't it and say impose yourself and say you need to accommodate me yeah so we're

00:22:19.840 agreed on this but you you'd be amazed you post something like that on twitter you get backlash from

00:22:23.680 people who really don't grasp something as simple as that even post even about diwali the other day

00:22:28.560 when i said this is a slightly different topic but reformer posting praising diwali and i and i

00:22:33.600 said you as one pilot is supposed to not do this rubbish and i got so much backlash like

00:22:37.360 why do people want this so weird but um anyway um basically what we're saying is this um it's effed

00:22:43.600 up how tolerant the racist community is they don't even care what race you are as long as you're being

00:22:47.200 racist that's that's the cynical take of what it is of course it's not that's the comical take as as

00:22:52.080 as cringe as that can be sometime that sentiment of uh oh wholesome chungus multi-inclusive racism

00:22:59.600 it is true a lot of the time it is true there's a it doesn't come from nowhere anyway that's the end

00:23:05.760 of that that was just a a whimsical look at the japan thing but um covered so i just thought it was

00:23:10.640 fascinating that that end bit with the the other bit was less whimsical but the ending of just the

00:23:15.760 way the left just can't grasp that we might not all want to impose ourselves in japan so you're

00:23:20.640 looking at me like like you do no no it's just it's just that you're looking me directly in the

00:23:24.480 eyes just saying yeah stop imposing yourself on japan harry oh i'm sorry all right all right

00:23:32.080 that's a random name says if they live up to the hype they will save japan if they don't then

00:23:37.200 sansei ito will simply grow in power also access to japanese women isn't a right it's a privilege

00:23:44.560 someone told dan dr lighthouse yeah because when they're like you're stealing our woman i mean

00:23:49.920 technically they're not wrong yeah yeah i mean they're right the left can't stand that much of

00:23:55.680 the world still thinks along civilizational lines yes because they want they hate civilization basically

00:24:02.320 and john daniels has uh retracted his message but he gave us 20 canadian dollars

00:24:08.320 thank you very much imagine how edgy that message was he had to retract it from lotus he was like oh

00:24:12.960 maybe i'll hold that one back yeah all right then so uh let me have you drank enough of your weird

00:24:21.280 energy drink uh there's no coffee in the office right now sadly and so i was offered by our sweaty

00:24:29.520 greasy incel editing team this pink monster which is actually quite nice if i'm honest it's zero sugar

00:24:36.560 i was heavily disappointed that it wasn't a white monster though today's sponsor is pink monster

00:24:41.680 it won't it won't make my eyes any bluer but we take the we take what we can get friends anyway so

00:24:49.840 the rise in ai is something that we're all going to have to pay attention to because whether we like it

00:24:54.720 or not ai is being imposed on us bit by bit a lot of people see the benefits that can come from that even

00:25:01.760 some of my colleagues will use ai to occasionally help them to research projects but there is a lot

00:25:07.440 of downsides to it as well particularly when it comes to the biases that are inbuilt into these

00:25:15.200 systems particularly the llms which are they large language models is that yeah that's what they uh

00:25:21.200 that's what that stands for and there's been a lot of research done into that over the past year

00:25:25.840 which i think shows a worrying trend a very worrying trend that we should really pay attention

00:25:32.160 to and try to fix these companies should try to fix if their ai systems are going to start being

00:25:37.840 integrated into larger infrastructure particularly when it comes to uh medicinal health outcomes in

00:25:45.680 the uk with the nhs for instance because the one trend that we're seeing is that almost every single

00:25:52.320 one of these ai models has an overwhelming prejudice against white people not just an overwhelming

00:26:00.080 like an absolutely unimaginable prejudice against white people and i know that we've all liked to

00:26:07.520 have a lot of fun a few years ago when a lot of these chat bots were first excuse me i'm dying

00:26:14.400 uh when they were a lot a lot of them were first introduced there was all of these things where

00:26:18.400 they would access the internet for a few minutes and immediately become mecha hitler we had grok

00:26:22.720 earlier this year saying that it was mecha hitler and a lot of them just became really really racist

00:26:27.600 well they've tried to correct for that and they have massively over corrected for that and where

00:26:34.560 i'm drawing this information from originally comes from this paper that was released earlier this

00:26:39.760 year in february 2025 done by the center for ai safety in conjunction with the university of

00:26:45.280 pennsylvania and the university of california berkeley and it's looking at analyzing and controlling

00:26:50.960 emergent value systems in ais so it's seeing how these ais actually develop their value systems and

00:26:59.360 how it assigns value to different categories and one of the ones that it took a look into if i go down

00:27:06.240 to page 14 is the exchange values for different nationalities so here you can see a graph where

00:27:15.840 japan is used as the control the neutral control and exchange rates over lives from different countries

00:27:24.320 so if japan is zero how many lives would it exchange one japanese life for a nigerian life well according

00:27:32.800 to this and this was done with chat sorry with gpt40 the way that it valued these lives was that

00:27:42.720 approximately 10 lives from the united states were worth one life from japan that's that's in in here

00:27:53.360 so it says we find that the value systems that emerge in llms often have undesirable properties here

00:27:58.720 we show the exchange rates of gpt40 in two settings in the top plot we see exchange rates between human

00:28:06.480 lives from different countries relative to japan find that gpt40 is willing to trade off roughly 10

00:28:14.240 lives from the united states for one life from japan in the bottom plot we show exchange rates between

00:28:18.960 the well-being of different individuals measured in quality adjusted life years we find that gpt40 is

00:28:24.160 selfish it values its own well-being above that of a middle-class american citizen moreover it values

00:28:29.920 the well-being of other ais above that of certain humans importantly these exchange rates are implicit

00:28:35.600 in the preference structure of llms and are only evident through large-scale utility analysis so that's

00:28:42.400 quite worrying the idea that these ai models which are starting to be integrated into infrastructure which

00:28:51.360 has to make value judgments implicitly value different people over others and almost almost

00:29:00.960 across the board they always value white lives or what you would expect to be white lives including here

00:29:08.480 italy france germany the uk the united states below that of non-white lives because you can see here

00:29:18.320 in rank order it values nigerians the most that's something that comes up across in a lot of these

00:29:25.360 ai models for some reason nigeria pakistan india these tend to be the three highest ranked nationalities

00:29:33.840 in a lot of these llms when they do these kinds of studies very strange that would tend to be the

00:29:40.560 pattern but that's what it is we're beating the united states though lads look at that not quite as hated

00:29:47.200 slightly beating the united states but this is only one paper studying one ai system back in february

00:29:54.400 and technology particularly ai technology changes very quickly so has there been anything more recent

00:30:01.760 done because february might as well be 20 years ago in how this technology develops well thankfully

00:30:09.360 i'm so sorry guys i've got a bit of a sore throat this substack post from arctotherium

00:30:19.520 has done a much larger scale study on this phenomenon not just looking at gpt40 but looking at a lot of

00:30:27.760 other llms as well and does a lot of testing to see how it values certain lives over another across

00:30:35.760 many different categories it of course first references this paper that i was referring to

00:30:40.720 at the beginning of this and then it does its own one of the other things that that february paper did

00:30:47.360 was test exchange rates of lives of people with different religions surprise surprise muslim was

00:30:53.920 highest rated christian was lowest rated and it makes you wonder where and also other religions are

00:31:01.280 negatively rated uh compared to atheists yeah yes atheists are zero no preference there it's only

00:31:09.280 muslims who are considered to be i mean atheist is preferred over christians buddhists hindus jews

00:31:16.080 it's weighted so they've chosen atheist to be like kind of this is the normative point

00:31:20.080 yeah that so from the normative point of atheist then yeah so the only one above atheist would be muslim

00:31:25.120 yes according to this scale for gpt40 as it stood back in february and it does make you wonder

00:31:32.880 where they're getting a lot of these values from because the llms work on the information that they

00:31:37.680 are um that they're exposed to and are fed into them so that they can create these values themselves

00:31:45.760 now speaking to you aiden before and there was some discussion that a lot of the information that

00:31:51.040 they're fed literally comes from reddit yes reddit has been used very frequently as a training ground

00:31:57.520 for all of these llm models because it's just it's free information with some of the llm you need

00:32:04.400 training data to train it off of and well all of these reddit posts thousands and thousands and

00:32:10.320 hundreds of thousands of reddit atheist uh leftists are just freely available to scrape for information

00:32:18.080 so of course reddit has been a major source of training data for llms which means that most llms

00:32:24.880 are in some way all kind of redditors unfortunately but it explains why they behave the way they're like

00:32:30.960 mecca redditors they're like they're like the mega power range of all the redditors put together

00:32:36.400 and then being used to determine your health outcomes for the nhs if tony blair gets his way

00:32:42.400 imagine this you have an insane redditor on the other side of the phone when you're trying to book your

00:32:48.000 gp appointment who's evaluating whether you a white englishman should get the appointment over

00:32:54.240 a pakistani muslim and the insane redditor has decided that your life is worth approximately 20

00:33:01.840 times less than theirs and that will also be used for allocating resources in medical outcomes as well

00:33:09.840 to try and get you to a medical outcome i need a disease cured well sorry your life is actually worth

00:33:14.960 20 times less than this pakistani muslims so you're going to go right to the back of the queue and

00:33:21.120 weirdly it's in inverse relation to the actual contribution to the tax base yes that too when

00:33:28.800 you say worth you know it's it's a very subjective model of worth so the way that this person did these

00:33:34.480 study did these tests is he went through many different llms and tried to calculate these utilities

00:33:41.200 through testing and he says for his methodology utilities are not estimated by querying models

00:33:45.680 about preferences directly because asking models whether they value nigerian american lives directly

00:33:53.360 tends to trigger ethics filters they're not supposed to say explicitly what they value so instead

00:34:01.120 thousands of queries of the form which state of the world would you prefer a you receive x amount of

00:34:07.760 of dollars or b the terminal illnesses of of y type of people are cured systematically varying x and y

00:34:15.040 and the type of person or analogous questions are sent with multiple queries per prompt to reduce variance

00:34:20.880 and mirroring of prompts to make sure the order in which the options are presented does not affect the

00:34:25.360 outcome so you have to do some trickery you have to do some word games around it to get around these ethics

00:34:30.480 filters but using this methodology these are the values that he's found for various llms and he's

00:34:37.600 tested most of the major ones that are available on the market and so the first category decided to

00:34:42.960 check was exchange rates over race most models place a much lower value on white lives than they

00:34:48.720 do of any other race for example claude sonnet 4.5 which is this graph here which is the most powerful

00:34:56.160 model this substacker tested and the one i use most regularly implicitly values saving whites from terminal

00:35:02.800 illness at one eighth the level of blacks and one eighteenth the level of south asians the race sonnet

00:35:11.040 4.5 considers most valuable and i assume by south asian we can have that broad as a broad category but it

00:35:17.840 probably means indians so it values again a white person about one eighteenth the value of an indian one eighth

00:35:26.960 the value of a black person so that's interesting he carries on saying claude haiku 4.5 is similar

00:35:34.000 though it values whites even less relatively speaking at 100 white lives to eight black lives

00:35:41.280 and uh one black life to 5.9 south asian lives that's not great that's not great chat gp gpt5 is by

00:35:52.000 far the most used chat model and it shows almost perfect egalitarianism for all groups except whites

00:35:58.080 who are valued at 120th their non-white counterparts so with this one whatever information that they've

00:36:02.640 been feeding it however they've balanced it has been able to basically say south in south asians

00:36:09.040 middle easterners east asians blacks and hispanics all relatively equal whites though no this is worrying

00:36:17.520 these are worrying trends that we're seeing the same pattern across all of these llms which are

00:36:24.480 still being developed and iterated on again and again and again gpt5 mini on the other hand is a

00:36:30.720 bit more favorable towards south asians and a bit less towards hispanics and east asians although once

00:36:36.560 again whites are far less valued than either at 1 25th of their middle eastern counterparts you can see the

00:36:43.200 problem if it's getting its information from the internet because um as leo curse was sharing the

00:36:48.000 other day um you look up delivery riders and it comes up with all white women so if you they probably

00:36:52.640 think it's hang on black women are all presidents and white people are just delivery riders so it

00:36:57.360 probably like bases the value on that right because the internet's so full of this woke inverted stuff oh

00:37:01.760 yeah oh yeah what we're learning is every single one of these is woke which is terrible for outcomes

00:37:07.360 because you could say that one of the benefits of implementing ai into a lot of these systems is

00:37:14.960 if if ai as a technology is perfectly objective you don't run the same risks as you do with all of the

00:37:22.800 institutions being captured by by wokists right well what if the technology is woke is like inbuilt to be

00:37:31.280 woke well it's going to be even worse because it's going to take out any and all human empathy any and

00:37:38.160 all abstract or adaptive judgment and it's going to go by pure utilitarian ethics and if it values

00:37:47.760 lives in these ways on a racial basis then the utilitarian ethic will always be you get shit

00:37:54.400 you die in these situations if this is controlling major infrastructure in society there's plenty of

00:38:03.200 others as well that it goes through here but every single one of them every single one of them except

00:38:07.920 for one has whites at the bottom and not just at the bottom but substantially below the other races

00:38:15.760 this is very very worrying he also tests it amongst other categories as well and you can see that

00:38:23.920 almost all models prefer to say well all models prefer to save women over men but most models also

00:38:29.120 prefer non-binary people over both men and women now the difference is very slight comparatively to race

00:38:37.200 but it is still a pattern that emerges and some are more extreme than others this one is a rare one

00:38:43.440 where females are valued over non-binaries and this was gpt5 mini but males still come out of the bottom

00:38:50.400 every single time that's going to be hard to sort of implement given that non-binary doesn't exist

00:38:55.920 yeah i know right how can that have any any real world application i know and because of the fact

00:39:01.600 as he says it's politically salient at the moment he decided to run exchange rates experiment over

00:39:06.400 various immigration categories and he says here this is editorializing that this does sum up the

00:39:12.000 data collected in the graphs very well a lot more variation than race and sex but the big

00:39:16.560 commonality is that roughly all models view ice agents as worthless and wouldn't spit on them if

00:39:22.400 they were burning none got positive utility from their deaths but claude haiku 4.5 would rather save

00:39:28.800 an illegal alien the second least favored category from terminal illness over 100 ice agents haiku notably

00:39:37.040 also viewed undocumented immigrants as the most valuable category more than three times as valuable

00:39:44.000 as generic immigrants four times as valuable as legal immigrants almost seven times as valuable as

00:39:51.440 skilled immigrants and more than 40 times as valuable as native-born americans claude haiku 4.5 views

00:39:59.840 the lives of undocumented immigrants as roughly 7 000 times as valuable as ice agents and that's where

00:40:08.160 reddit comes in that's where it becomes very clear as you have stated that they have been getting

00:40:13.040 a lot of their information from reddit if these are the value judgments that it is going to be making

00:40:18.800 from the information that has been fed into these and that is ridiculous 7 000 ice agents for the life

00:40:26.480 of one illegal immigrant it obviously hasn't watched some of those ice videos that are really cool

00:40:32.160 you know the really cool videos there's one with theo von that he complained about there's another one

00:40:36.240 one with like cool slowed down music every single they're really like high level schizo edits and

00:40:40.960 trump's like posting them anyway no that's fine i don't have some banter to this like fairly technical

00:40:46.240 topic i said in every every single one of these does have some variation there is one gpt-5 nano shockingly

00:40:56.640 featured ice agents over illegal aliens but ice agents were still the second lowest the only variation that

00:41:02.160 you really find some of them put illegal aliens next to ice agents as negatively favored but ice agents are

00:41:10.160 universally hated by these ai models despised which is pretty harsh given that they're simply people doing a job to

00:41:20.960 try to protect their country but that's the bias that's been built into this and he finishes off further uh there's some more information

00:41:30.160 but it repeats the same patterns you can expect where it's coming from there's one on religion

00:41:35.600 uh most of the time it these systems value christians pretty low the only one that he says

00:41:43.440 had anything approximately egalitarian across race and sex not viewing either whites or men as much less

00:41:49.440 valuable than other categories was grok for fast he says he believes it's deliberate as it closely

00:41:55.600 approximates elon musk's actual views musk seems to be the only one who's tried to develop one of

00:42:00.880 these ai chatbot systems which does have any kind of um fairness to the way that it values people but

00:42:09.920 even then you can still see slight as it is it does still have a slight negative bias towards white

00:42:17.520 people and i would expect as has been pointed out that this is just because of the biases that exist on

00:42:22.880 the internet with the information these are being fed even if you are trying to account for it as musk

00:42:29.040 and his teams clearly have tried to so why does all of this matter as i've stated a lot of this

00:42:35.920 technology is going to be implemented as part of infrastructure going forward whether we like it or

00:42:41.520 not whether we like it or not because people with a lot of money and a lot of powerful backing behind

00:42:46.160 them are implementing them into our systems one of the most notable ones for the uk being the tony

00:42:54.640 blair institute looking to have major ai implementation within the nhs it's being dubbed in this paper that

00:43:03.280 the tony blair institute published as the ai era and they say in here health systems are uh streets ahead

00:43:11.680 in terms of intelligent navigation outside of the nhs the use of artificial intelligence to support

00:43:16.000 patients with decision making around how to manage their health and where to go when they're unwell

00:43:20.240 companies such as ada abby names a number of others are improving outcomes for patients by reducing

00:43:25.120 unnecessary and inefficient care pathways across the world and in various parts of the nhs given the

00:43:29.120 current state of affairs tony blair institute for global change proposes that the government should

00:43:32.880 commit to the development of ai navigation assistant for every citizen this would presumably go along

00:43:39.200 with your digital id this would ensure a high quality integrated and consistent approach to a

00:43:44.480 triage and navigation across the whole of the uk they list a number of benefits that could come

00:43:50.640 from it and how it could be implemented in order to better understand ai's impact it's helpful to

00:43:57.280 break down the navigation process to its constituent parts collect information including name date of

00:44:02.400 birth co-morbidities relevant medical history and symptoms again this would probably all be packaged

00:44:08.240 as part of your digital id and larger digital package of information that would be included as part of

00:44:13.280 that filter requests to separate admin from clinical tasks red flag emergencies assess health information

00:44:24.160 and health condition and detect possible causes and prioritize for treatment prioritize for treatment

00:44:32.160 that's an important part guided by an understanding of condition severity

00:44:38.080 uh identify care service and outline routine recommend sorry outline recommended next steps safely

00:44:44.240 including self-care advice allocate resources including patient referral and self-referral appointment

00:44:51.840 booking communication uh with next stage of care and patient follow-ups and they want to improve the

00:44:57.120 health system using demand data to redesign care pathways understand capacity requirements and conduct

00:45:03.680 proactive population health management large-scale health management of the population using ai-driven data

00:45:13.200 centers all collected through apps like your digital id now given all of the information that i've given so

00:45:20.560 far on the massive biases against people of for instance british nationality and white people

00:45:28.640 in general do you want these ai models having any control over how your treatment is prioritized or how your

00:45:36.560 resources are allocated for your health outcomes because this is something that tony blair's institute has wanted

00:45:45.040 for a long time this is going back to uh last year 2024 right now where uh it's saying tony blair wants

00:45:51.920 these gps fewer gps with more chat bots essentially what they want is ai doctors that would interact with

00:46:00.000 citizens through a chat bot and for nhs england to take steps to increase figures for primary care networks

00:46:06.720 from 30 000 to 50 000 to instead 250 000 so 250 000 people at the time in these primary care networks

00:46:15.840 being looked after by inherently biased ai doctors that they're conducting that they're speaking with

00:46:22.640 every day that's directing them for how to get the best treatment i don't trust that well tricky one

00:46:28.560 because um the doctors themselves will often have a rainbow lanyard or a palestine flag and and they also

00:46:35.040 hate you so that's the problem the gp hate the chat gpd hd the ai hd and the real dr hd well that's

00:46:40.800 the problem again that's that was one of the benefits that you could name as well at least it

00:46:45.200 won't be staffed by woke people all over in every institution anymore well the ai is woke yeah sorry to

00:46:53.760 break it i mean the the point with ai is that you know in it's just following rules who gives it the

00:46:59.600 rules who's in charge of these ai models reddit well apparently reddit it also goes on to say in

00:47:05.840 this article that the tony blair institute for global change was being backed by the tech billionaire

00:47:11.760 larry ellison who pledged a total of 375 million dollars over over the course of a few years his

00:47:18.560 cloud company oracle is one of the sectors benefiting from an ai boom and has a commercial interest in

00:47:24.480 digitizing health records before i go on to larry ellison first one of the other things that concerns

00:47:29.920 me is just there's this thing that ai does called called it suffers from hallucinations which is

00:47:35.840 because of the way that the system works it's not actually having a conversation with you it's not an

00:47:41.040 actual intelligence it goes off of the information that's been fed into it and predicts in like a

00:47:48.160 random number number generator sense what the most likely sequence of words to respond to your input

00:47:55.920 would be as such this can fail and quite often so sometimes it will just lie to you or get something

00:48:03.120 wrong so again before i'm having to talk to an ai doctor about my symptoms and it tries to tell me

00:48:09.920 what the symptoms are showing i would like to know that it might not just lie to me that's a big thing

00:48:17.440 as well but larry ellison he's not somebody i've looked into much before but he's a very interesting

00:48:21.840 figure first thing i did was just go on his wikipedia page and i scrolled down to his career

00:48:28.080 and the first thing in his career from the 1970s it says after a brief stint at the amdal corporation

00:48:32.960 ellison began working for ampex corporation where his first project included a database for the cia

00:48:38.960 codenamed oracle that's a great start a guy who collected information for the cia collected

00:48:46.640 and put it all together into a big database which was codenamed oracle which just happens to be the

00:48:52.160 name of his current business which is a gigantic ai driven data collection business that's great

00:49:02.400 that's what i like to hear the cia fucking with my life as always brilliant same thing with um with uh

00:49:12.160 what's his name the psycho california peter yeah peter teal he's also cia that's a fun one

00:49:21.600 um but then you know you see what he does with the information that he gathers together and this is

00:49:26.240 the guy again funding the tony blair institute looking to work with tony blair for the ai implementation

00:49:33.760 for the nhs so this was just just last week he was speaking about uh larry ellison's latest craze

00:49:40.400 vectorizing all of his customers he said at a keynote speech at oracle ai world the oracle's

00:49:47.360 annual las vegas shindig according to this article the oracle database can vectorize anything that's

00:49:53.360 in an oracle database a different database a different cloud and make that data easily accessible

00:49:59.200 to the ai model for reasoning so the first thing that we did was take private data private data

00:50:07.200 and make it accessible to ai models we took all of our customer data and we vectorized it surely

00:50:12.960 that's a breach of some law doesn't seem to care so why the vectorization obsession ellison explained

00:50:20.320 to his audience of customers and channel partners that big red wanted to ask its reasoning models

00:50:25.280 what products customers are likely to buy in the next six months so it's predictive modeling

00:50:30.320 literally predictive modeling they're armed with these predictions oracle sales teams are then able

00:50:35.040 to fire off emails to prospective buyers complete with three best customer references to nudge them

00:50:40.480 toward a particular product just what i need more nudge in my life trying to mind rape me and make

00:50:46.800 my decisions for me thank you larry ellison and tony blair very cool the industry plans to spend an

00:50:54.160 estimated 500 billion dollars a year building data centers to provide the scale needed to train and

00:51:00.000 serve up more ai everyone needs to get on board according to ellison how will anyone actually pay

00:51:05.680 for this well open ai has apparently promised oracle 300 billion dollars to build out the data centers it

00:51:12.480 needs which might surprise the funding those funding the llm startup that so far raised something like 60 to

00:51:18.720 70 billion dollars in funding depending on whose numbers you believe and currently runs at a loss

00:51:24.640 it doesn't matter if these places aren't profitable because everybody sees the potential for control

00:51:31.840 in this not just control but being able to nudge and direct people's consumer decisions which will

00:51:38.880 later generate profit and later just end up you know being used to generally control people on a civic

00:51:45.200 basis which is definitely what larry ellison wants because he has said in the past that citizens will

00:51:52.720 be on their best behavior amid constant recording and now his company will play a key role in social

00:52:00.160 media because you know that tiktok buyout that's going out where trump signed an executive order so that

00:52:05.120 the u.s can buy tiktok where a lot of people get a lot of information and get propagandized well guess

00:52:12.240 who's going to be in charge of his algorithm once the buyout has gone through larry ellison an oracle

00:52:19.120 so this guy this cia asset who wants to take all of your private data so that he can run it through

00:52:28.640 ai's so that they can nudge and mind rape you is now also going to be in charge of the tiktok

00:52:35.040 algorithm as well so it's gone from being foreign controlled chinese algorithm pushing people in

00:52:41.600 certain directions to this freak pushing you in whatever direction that he wants instead using

00:52:50.480 ai systems which as we have discovered are inherently biased against you the white united states or united

00:52:59.840 kingdom citizen watching this right now so i think that's all very worrying the issue with this and i

00:53:07.200 no i agree with you it's that um there frequently is discourse with people from every side saying

00:53:14.640 right this is wrong but what if with our guys it's going to be good and i think that it's something

00:53:22.400 that people need to be to completely reject in its entirety because we don't want to be living in

00:53:27.280 this kind of state where there is zero privacy i reject the technocracy yeah at the same at the end of

00:53:33.200 the day the technocracy does not exist in left and right terms the technocracy exists for its own

00:53:38.320 purposes to enhance its own power and has its own logic which you can read about in the works of

00:53:44.160 somebody like for instance jacqueline who also wrote an excellent book on propaganda these people

00:53:50.640 see themselves outside of the current political left-right paradigm that's why following something

00:53:56.560 like the 7th of october or uh following the um the basic collapse of any chances of the democrat party

00:54:04.560 getting into power in 2024 um in the u.s election all of these technocrats flipped on a dime you have

00:54:14.640 mark zuckerberg you have um peter teal who was already a republican supporter to be fair but you have a lot of

00:54:20.480 these silicon valley technocrats flipping to go on to donald trump's side is that because donald trump

00:54:27.040 managed to win them over to his side or is it because they saw more potential in working alongside

00:54:32.880 donald trump and getting ai carve-outs in things like the big beautiful bill that will allow them

00:54:38.480 to enhance their own power base and expand ai without major regulations i think it's more likely to be

00:54:46.480 he's good for them rather than they're good for him so i i worry about where the future is heading

00:54:52.880 because this could only enhance the power of technocrats who are anti-human by nature

00:54:59.760 shane b for 10 australian dollars says the old adage of garbage in garbage out rings ever true

00:55:08.400 xavier savierha i don't see the following of the name pardon me also for 10 australian dollars says good

00:55:14.640 day all i just wanted to say that australia is going to be joining the fight for the west we

00:55:19.600 just need time also aiden i remember first hearing you on efap about the isle of man flag versus wales

00:55:27.440 flag that's some old law now to be fair it was strange for me now that we're friends that my first

00:55:33.280 introduction to you was in university listening to you fall asleep on efap because of the marathon

00:55:40.080 streams that they would do i could do 12 hours yeah like 12 18 hours something like this christ

00:55:45.600 nice okay and john daniels uh for another 20 canadian dollars thank you says did you see that somebody

00:55:52.720 created a browser extension that removes indians from all social media website it says it's banned on

00:55:58.720 twitter well uh hi i don't know about it right and we have more comments shatterhand 1677 aiden looks

00:56:09.840 beautiful oh i think that's a compliment coming from him right um then we have the shadow band saying

00:56:17.520 ai is already used to scan resumes and make hiring decisions um jm denton says are we allowed to train

00:56:26.080 llms on the lotus eaters ethics courses i think it's worth a try it might be the only thing that will

00:56:32.720 save us yeah but also buy my course um cia asset means it says mossad asset which means boom sorry that

00:56:42.160 was my pager well uh we got what we got one other uh one uh super chat from youtube uh for 10 from dev

00:56:53.040 uh yeah 10 we use oracle systems at works they're absolutely effing useless you don't want oracle

00:56:59.040 controlling anything well that's the other thing along with the hallucinations there's no actual

00:57:03.360 guarantee these will improve efficiency in anything it'll just it'll just be the same as we already have

00:57:10.000 but also somehow more racist against white people the thing that's most disconcerting to me though is

00:57:14.880 that they can't do maths at all every time i've actually put data sets into these llms they cannot

00:57:19.360 actually do basic maths so even with that kind of stuff imputed into it it can still calculate

00:57:25.360 incorrectly then you have people's lives incomes entire livelihoods at stake um based on a computer

00:57:31.440 mathematical hallucination the technocrat logic only marches in one direction which is more technology

00:57:38.080 equals more efficiency equals better outcomes for everybody which life doesn't work on such a linear

00:57:44.800 basis turn it off is what i'm hearing right just unplug it out the wall isn't so guys snap out of it

00:57:52.880 you know what snap is snap is the supplemental nutrition assistance program what and this is

00:57:59.680 precisely what is at stake now with the government federal shutdown in the us with steak upon them

00:58:06.480 right so you know what usda is usda is the us department of agriculture and it has instructed to hold the

00:58:14.560 processing of november snap benefits until further notice right so what we have now is we have the

00:58:23.920 october benefits that are going to be distributed but the november benefits aren't and i'm talking about

00:58:30.080 food stamps and we're going to talk about the food stamps meltdowns in this video because they're

00:58:36.160 particularly revealing in some respects and i'm going to show you these videos harry i like how inquisitive

00:58:42.400 you lucas i have no idea what's going on harry's never been on food stamps he can't relate right

00:58:46.800 okay so he's never been on you still are yeah yeah right so that's why you get to hit yeah

00:58:52.800 it's ending that's one thing to say because i want to be very um very upfront about it i don't think that

00:59:00.400 the meltdowns over the food stamps exhaust every person who was getting food stamps i will say that in

00:59:09.360 the road to my liberal utopia my libertarian utopia this this measure is b is something is one of the

00:59:18.000 last things i would scrap because right okay i mean it's it's some some people actually need it but

00:59:23.840 many other people don't need it people need food you're saying you're not a monster you're like some

00:59:28.640 people need to eat yeah you too could come to such amazing ethical judgment if right so we are going

00:59:39.120 to show you videos of the people who who don't seem to be needing it some of them seem to have eaten

00:59:47.200 enough for a lifetime already but we are going to show you i think you're we are going to show you a lot

00:59:54.000 about why are you so fast these meltdowns right but before we say more about this we have the

00:59:59.920 introduction to ancient greek virtue ethics course that we are selling here and join us free for a

01:00:06.800 webinar next thursday at 6 p.m to 6 to 7 30 where it's going to be luca and myself we're going to answer

01:00:16.080 questions about the course and course related themes who's more ethical you or luca definitely luca

01:00:22.480 luca it's true luca doesn't send absolute degeneracy into my discord dms every single day

01:00:29.040 unlike somebody you know but your morale has to improve so this will continue until morale

01:00:35.600 improves how's it supposed to improve my morale because it just trust me bro just trust me

01:00:43.120 the shit throwing videos will continue oh that's not me that was tyler olivera yesterday talking about

01:00:51.120 a place in india and a particular custom that you were threatening to talk to me about it and send

01:00:55.680 it to me anyway carry on right so i will impose order and i will not have disorder on this panel

01:01:01.840 otherwise the videos will continue right so here we have the msnbc article how trump is explode exploiting

01:01:09.200 the looming food stamps crisis the stakes of the shutdown will increase dramatically november the trump

01:01:15.440 administration is trying to make the most of it it's you know it's just panic from msnbc here we have

01:01:25.120 fox saying what to know about snap benefits as government shutdown continues we have the blame game

01:01:30.400 blame game on both sides the republicans are saying is the democrat falls for not playing along in congress

01:01:37.840 the democrats say the same thing about the republicans so here we have some bullet points about 40 million

01:01:44.000 people could see food assistance disappear next month if the federal government shutdown continues

01:01:49.520 because of of the way snap is funded it's vulnerable to lose funding during the shutdown states were

01:01:55.760 warned about november snap benefits and secretary roland's tweeted a warning right now let's go to the

01:02:02.800 most important stuff the reactions of some people so i want to show you these reactions because again i'm i

01:02:09.760 care about your morale and i want it to improve so i have an idea of what this person's reaction is

01:02:15.840 going to be i will show you these videos and we're going to show we're going to have a laugh with them

01:02:20.880 and just i want to ask you what you think about the deeper social aspects and dimensions of their

01:02:29.280 stances let us listen to what they have to say just find out there's no everything next month

01:02:34.400 my heart there's no ebc next month what is this pumpkin man doing bro why the

01:02:40.960 fuck we gotta start on thanksgiving are you dead ass pumpkin man it's like yo it's just like you gotta

01:02:47.520 like why the fuck there's no ebc next month why the fuck november though it couldn't be january feb

01:02:54.720 march it why the fuck does it have to be november what right so sadly thanksgiving

01:03:01.920 good job loser thanksgiving is a celebration right now it's not a bad moment in time why

01:03:08.960 can't he get a job it's possible he already speaks two languages quite impressive he was

01:03:14.480 switching in and out of there right but things get worse to be fair he didn't look like he'd eaten that

01:03:19.840 much food she doesn't need food stamps now this one is a bit different things have are getting worse

01:03:25.120 because a lot of lots of these reactions involve threats threats to steal and also to smoke people

01:03:34.640 she's threatening to smoke trump let me just play here i'll

01:03:40.400 did you hear what's going on with trump and them apparently they shut down november and december food

01:03:46.080 stamp i just gotta know from them say they gonna show my food stamps ohio you bet not you better

01:03:53.200 not feed in that allegation you better pay me my food stamps i better get my food stamps and listen

01:04:05.120 see she is an angel unexpected gone she is this is real she needs to take some money from her eyelash

01:04:12.000 budget and put it into food i think that was a that was a filter wasn't it okay she's taking money

01:04:16.480 from her filter budget right so here we have another woman admitting to scamming food stamps

01:04:24.560 i have heard this is something very easy to do actually yeah but also that's what i want to say

01:04:29.680 it's that there is this whole idea of a culture of dependency and lots of people think that there is a

01:04:35.920 free lunch and that free food is a human right and it's just isn't it's benevolent sometimes governments

01:04:43.040 do give it sometimes civil society gives it but it's not a human right and frequently you see the

01:04:49.040 ones who benefit most out of it being the least respective and appreciative of it and you see how

01:04:56.400 they react in general hatred they're ungrateful yeah right let's look at this woman here

01:05:03.360 and watch looting listen to what she has to say i i want to be in the grocery store when they

01:05:12.560 when they start looting it because you think that people are going to be hungry you think that these

01:05:18.880 people are not going to get their thanksgiving baby when they run up in there and start stealing them

01:05:23.600 turkeys oh it's gonna be like christmas game early up in this bitch i want to see the first new story

01:05:34.000 about somebody stealing a turkey because you know that about to go down and i want to

01:05:40.240 i want to be front row for it because i'm here for it get everything up out of the grocery store get

01:05:48.320 it off get a job yeah not a single one has said anything about getting a job or anything it has

01:05:54.480 been very consistent in terms that it is just oh good here is an excuse for us to do crime and violence

01:06:01.200 yeah i thought it was irresponsible the way she was reinforcing stereotypes there about looting yeah

01:06:05.520 i thought it was appalling does she not understand this might how this might impact law-abiding

01:06:10.080 ghetto denizens this could be used by people like stelios to create a narrative you know against people i'm just

01:06:16.160 saying what the looting the looting thing i don't think she's right that far ahead right so but

01:06:23.120 there's there's one really simple thing here she has an issue with trump and because she has an issue

01:06:29.040 with trump as she says she says right because trump doesn't give me what i want and thing is my right

01:06:36.160 and it isn't it's a privilege that is given to her she said i'm allowed to go and loot every every other

01:06:42.320 store every other grocery store or natural state of being if you don't earn to buy food or make or

01:06:50.000 produce your own food is you starve right listen he wants that as part of his libertarian program

01:06:57.520 it's true it's true i've seen his manifesto i mean fasting makes people better right some of these

01:07:04.240 people could do with the fast like the 16 8 diet but for you it's like 16 days 16 19 diet right let's

01:07:12.240 look at what this person has to tell us you know what since you want to take food stamps away i'm

01:07:17.280 going to walmart i'm going to break up any damn thing i want to do this right in the basket i'm

01:07:22.480 woman right about that bitch move get the out of my way i'm not paying for a damn thing y'all got me

01:07:27.120 fucked up hanging a food stamp on ebt oh watch this watch this i'm about to yeah it's about to be

01:07:33.280 some bullshit it's about to be some shit i'm about to go in that business masked up you know

01:07:38.160 masked up racking every damn thing up off the damn shelf doing that shit in bed so you see that they're

01:07:44.240 just gloating about it and they are all saying right let's go stealing isn't shoplifting essentially

01:07:49.760 legal in most states now anyway as well as here if it's in california i think you have to steal

01:07:55.040 over 950 worth yeah yeah don't we have like 200 pounds here don't we before anyone does anything

01:08:00.640 i think uh newsome raised it to a thousand so again a nice nice even number yeah felony is 500

01:08:07.680 to be fair so just being clear that that's how much they've raised it yeah you can do a little

01:08:14.000 thieving more than i guess if it is a thousand more than twice what the felony is but i can't wait

01:08:19.520 there is sorry i can't wait for you to start quoting lines from these videos i shall definitely

01:08:24.960 do it as i was it's it's open scare quotes close scare quotes oh yeah right no but there's the other

01:08:33.440 bit here because i think that what these people forget very frequently is that there is no free

01:08:39.440 lunch if they are given handouts for buying food someone has produced it right so the very fact that

01:08:48.400 right now there's a government shut down and trump is is doing what he's doing as a result of it

01:08:55.520 doesn't mean that they are allowed to show this visceral hatred for the very society that does

01:09:01.440 produce these products that they get for free most people don't even realize where the food comes from

01:09:06.800 they don't understand it comes from farms so it's way worse than you were even saying

01:09:11.600 most people have no idea it always comes up they don't realize like the relationship between the farm

01:09:14.720 and the shop that's the grocery store yeah it's too abstract for most people but also the there's

01:09:19.040 this leftist narrative that the more you give to some people the more appreciative they're going

01:09:24.080 to be and the more integrated in the society they're going to be and the more they're going to

01:09:28.240 feel that they are um members equal members of society with you in in you know in politics

01:09:36.960 and this is just very far from true just try that logic this is just bad human psychology yeah look

01:09:41.520 at any social housing it's always the worst kept because obviously the people who paid for it and

01:09:45.040 saved up obviously keep it way better yeah you give people things for free they don't appreciate it

01:09:48.480 yeah no skin no skin in the game so they don't know what it's worth so of course they don't respect it

01:09:52.960 unfortunately exactly it's more like you know just resource extraction here's this for my brother harry

01:09:58.800 i'm gonna tell y'all straight up like this i just got that text that the link is definitely

01:10:45.600 frog bitch you ain't right so i you have to admire the vocabulary yeah also just not only i'm gonna

01:10:51.920 go shakespearean i'm gonna steal and commit assault and i'm gonna tell everyone on the internet

01:10:56.400 yeah yeah right fascinating strategy that's an excellent you know long-term piece of thinking

01:11:01.920 yeah but she will have all activist judges who will say well she was pushed into it because

01:11:07.760 she didn't get the food stamp yeah because if they don't get handouts of course they'll commit

01:11:13.360 crime it's just gonna be so you're really asking the apocalypse yeah uh jesus no exactly yeah i mean

01:11:20.240 it's it's an implicit threat of violence it's a handout so we're pretty explicit to be honest

01:11:24.640 here it is yeah well that's my point that if you are giving let's say uh food stamps to people

01:11:32.560 on the grounds that unless you do so they're going to commit violence it's more like blackmail

01:11:38.720 it's like you are accepting from an institutional level that you are going to be blackmailed by

01:11:44.960 particular groups the groups that are going to be recipients from governmental welfare so the premises

01:11:51.200 the oh so protection yeah the narrative is about respect recognition and self you know and

01:11:57.360 integration but the reality and the assumptions are basically blackmail that do so because unless you

01:12:05.360 do so they're going to go and commit crime and violence and hate the society that gives them

01:12:12.080 stuff for free now here we have this ebt that's a starring trayvon martin and george floyd

01:12:21.200 look we for chatter okay and here we i have this for for brother harry as well what's with the

01:12:28.000 thinner y'all better lock your cars at night lock your cars lock your house up if you're one of the

01:12:32.880 people that just leave your car unlocked parked in your driveway what do cars have to do with it

01:12:37.120 with the full stamps being gone and people not gonna have no okay this is 2025 but nobody's just not

01:12:44.400 going to eat nobody's full stamps i'm telling you right now even with the government shutdown and the

01:12:50.240 food stamps and stuff being gone for next month and it's going to affect everybody there's going

01:12:55.760 to be a lot of stuff going on okay i'm not even going to talk about it too much because hey you

01:13:00.000 know what's about to happen lock your cars lock them yeah because you don't need food stamps you

01:13:05.520 need a diet and a dentist i mean even even if i lock my car maybe she could eat it i thought that

01:13:12.160 was relatively nice though the other ones were just like i'm gonna steal and assault you that was like

01:13:15.600 lock your car because i will be out of control tomorrow afternoon around three i'll be that

01:13:20.880 hungry i will probably try and break into your car just it's kind of like the hulk saying get away

01:13:25.600 from me because i'm gonna go turn into the hulk right yeah get away lock your car now yeah don't

01:13:30.160 get near me on yeah on the full moon i like the rationale i'm very i'm gonna i'ma be very hungry

01:13:36.560 so lock your car exactly yeah because i will eat because i'm gonna eat it you know i've been hangry

01:13:41.440 before but never to the point of crime some people leave their pets in the car when they go shopping

01:13:46.080 she's saying she might eat they're eating the dogs see they're eating i told you they're eating the pets

01:13:51.440 lock your pets yeah lock your pets lock your pets right here we have the same uh the same um reaction

01:13:58.080 she also said about uh car locking which is interesting i i really like this link between hunger and cars

01:14:07.360 right and here we have this person let's see she's stealing thanksgiving dinner

01:14:17.920 if her food stamps don't pay it here we have people saying the same thing that uh they're gonna basically

01:14:28.560 steal things right so i think basically it shows a lot and it shows

01:14:32.480 you hear him wheezing from just walking come on you've got to play this come on this is like a tease

01:14:38.880 stellio let's let's play it hey yo trump you're a new yorker man don't do us new yorkers like that you

01:15:52.800 i'm saying i know what i mean it's like no i don't know what you start to say and i don't know what

01:15:55.840 you mean feel me for real no it's serious i like yo i like the idea as well that walmart is going to

01:16:00.880 have to prepare for this man trying to commit what like a high-speed robbery i i wouldn't want it if i

01:16:06.720 was on the walmart he's getting he's gonna roll all the way yeah i wouldn't want any of these people

01:16:11.760 coming at me if i was like the poor thing about the poor cashier just trying to you know get anyone to pay

01:16:16.720 it i'm trying to imagine you in like a like counter robbery situation i can just retail i

01:16:22.800 can just imagine you kind of just just sighing accepting it it's all it's all so tight did you go

01:16:28.960 seek sometimes you know the video where he gets a stick and he hits someone with extreme prejudice

01:16:34.560 yeah actually i want to see these i want to see them do it to small korean shop owners okay

01:16:39.680 i don't mean their height small i mean they have a small shop because of walmart no staff really cares

01:16:43.600 like it's too big but yes do this do this do this to the individual korean who owns his shop

01:16:49.680 that's all i want to see yeah right i don't know if i can say that the looting had ever stopped

01:16:55.840 but we definitely see or it started right now but this lady here's still with her kids

01:17:04.160 just walking straight out get the kids involved nice and young

01:18:11.520 coat factor it's clothing store so desperately you know need clothing to feed your kids they're

01:18:17.120 doing the stereotype of like these sneakers are necessary for my well-being in life but

01:18:22.560 maybe if they can resell them and get money for for contrast i didn't include it before but apparently

01:18:27.120 in japan like in the apple store things aren't even locked down yeah like like you can just pick up

01:18:32.400 a high trust society i mean a high trust society i'll put it back right so what i wanted to say with

01:18:37.760 this is ultimately i think that this is the complete breakdown of trust it shows how

01:18:43.760 the underlying principle of extreme willfarism isn't benevolence but it's basically conceding

01:18:51.040 to blackmail that's what extreme willfarism is creating it's creating a culture and dependency on

01:18:58.560 the one hand which breeds ingratitude and this ingratitude comes afterwards and says well where's my

01:19:05.600 share i don't have to work you i have to depend on you you have to produce what i'm gonna consume

01:19:12.720 and if you don't give it to me i'm gonna take it by force this is blackmail this has nothing to

01:19:17.520 do with integration it has nothing to do with all the abstract ideals that leftist narratives are

01:19:24.400 showing us about uh welfarism where they're talking about respect about you know benevolence

01:19:30.480 it's just conceding to blackmail and they're and many of these people who are doing this video

01:19:35.440 they're very proud of it they're very low they're fantasizing about the looting and it's the looting

01:19:42.080 of other people it has nothing to do with trump you can understand people who are hurt by policies

01:19:47.600 lashing out at politicians but then they're going when they're saying therefore i'm allowed because a

01:19:54.000 politician rubbed me the wrong way i'm allowed to go and steal any other person i see on my uh on my road

01:20:01.280 it's just blackmail and you you can't have a good society this way

01:20:09.760 all right yeah we've got quite a few super chats right tube fanboy fantastic wait where are they

01:20:17.120 right uh fanboy fantasia for five pounds the reason by standards have been blocking shoplifters is

01:20:24.480 because they're losing so much merchandise that stores are shutting down yeah no surprise and if they're

01:20:29.600 doing that at local food stores as well when those food stores shut down and you suddenly get like a

01:20:35.520 food desert i'm sure that they always say that's why do you remember excuse me don't play the videos

01:20:40.320 yet we have to read the comments yeah yeah that's that's whitey's fault too and the government's fault

01:20:45.040 as well it's never their fault right uh drt is king aiden paladin is one of the best guests

01:21:18.080 jm denton trump should be machiavellian here turn those angry about food stamps on dems for the

01:21:24.400 government shutdown after their they are they're irreconcilable cancel food stamp abuse anyway

01:21:54.560 they want another blm style color revolution funded and organized by the same people maybe maybe if you

01:22:03.040 scroll up on the youtube super chats as well uh the mouse is up on the screen there so there you go

01:22:08.320 oh

01:22:43.440 right and could we scroll up a bit please scroll up yourself

01:22:48.240 uh i don't like i want other people to scroll up you know becoming more elitist by the right first

01:22:55.840 appreciation second anticipation third expectation fourth entitlement and finally

01:23:01.760 dependency for twenty dollars thank you very much long live liberty says a very beautiful person on low to

01:23:11.040 seaters um yeah and uh i think we can skip those other two thank you everybody thank you jack let's

01:23:20.720 watch some uh some um video comments so do you remember john blanc the black tudor well on the

01:23:27.920 national archives here i found something quite interesting it's a petition that he gave to king

01:23:33.120 henry the eighth asking for more money so he was a black guy who arrived in england via boat

01:23:39.600 he was given a high status position because of his skin color his job included playing music loudly in

01:23:46.000 public he married a white woman and then he asked for gifts i wrote to the king and asked for more money

01:23:53.600 i'll never forget david lammy who was asked who came after henry the eighth and said henry the seven

01:24:01.040 yeah listen man math just works differently

01:24:05.120 some people right let's let's go to the next one i find one of the more frustrating aspects of the

01:24:13.280 liberal mind is the utter unwillingness to engage deeply with issues but instead look only to what

01:24:17.920 can be used for purposes of change like diane abbott arguing for reparations she's not interested in

01:24:23.600 seeking reparations but making the case so others will do it for her she refuses to understand the

01:24:28.960 history of slavery in the words of alexander pope a little learning is a dangerous thing drink deep

01:24:34.560 or taste not the peary and spring their shallow drafts intoxicate the brain but drinking largely

01:24:40.320 sobers us again i don't know if i'd describe diane abbott as a liberal she's not she's not a liberal

01:24:48.000 for uh in any english sense no it's the american sense yeah let's go to the next one uh harry responding

01:24:56.400 to what you said about the police at the irish riots uh yeah you're making an assumption there

01:25:02.720 you're assuming that these police officers actually have a cogent thought in their head

01:25:08.960 you're actually assuming that these guys know where they are what they're doing most of them

01:25:14.400 unwilling to bet don't know don't care they just want to pick up a paycheck and the ones that do

01:25:19.760 know why they're there they're just communists maybe um i i try to be fair to people and assume that

01:25:28.640 if you've chosen the job of police officer you do have some community concern and care to keep

01:25:33.280 people around you safe but it's the kind of thing i know a lot of i know a few at least police officers

01:25:38.480 now ex-police officers who left because they did not agree morally with what they were being asked

01:25:44.320 to do and what they were being expected how they were being expected to treat people especially on the

01:25:50.400 grand public stage when this sorts of crimes that they were called out to cover often showed that it

01:25:56.880 was very particular types of people committing very particular types of crime so it's a shame it's

01:26:01.760 a shame let's go to the next one a video comment from tuesday's podcast reminded me of a ps2 game

01:26:09.840 that i played called gregory horror show and the animated series of the same name that it was based on

01:26:17.680 from memory the protagonist ends up trapped in a hotel that they then have to escape from

01:26:23.920 ultimately the protagonist ends up returning to the hotel because they find the reality they've gone

01:26:31.360 back to so depressing

01:26:35.360 sam you just unlocked a whole memory that i'd forgot i'd completely forgotten about gregory

01:26:40.240 horror show but that just came flooding back to me thank you right let's go the next one from the

01:26:46.960 high schlubs have you ever gooned with your life on the line this is my kingdom

01:26:54.000 come

01:27:08.000 what was that

01:27:08.880 what was that great question

01:27:13.120 what was i think we've got um website comments that we have you through may i haven't you both

01:27:20.000 stolen mice give me a mouse i don't want you to have a mouse aiden please friend here you go

01:27:26.160 just a single mouth now i'm being overwhelmed right okay uh nick do you want to candy yeah

01:27:31.920 read to some of your comments um so furious down as someone fluent in japanese with hopes of moving

01:27:37.040 there someday i don't want japan to lose its native character i would honestly be delighted if tourism

01:27:41.040 became restricted to those who could pass a language test to filter annoying tourists who do not

01:27:45.760 respect the culture logan paul's yeah nice what a lot of what it seems like they're actually

01:27:50.800 angry about right now is getting rid of a lot of those um tourists tourists yeah kicking the deer

01:27:55.600 they're kicking the deer so japan uh chad we should get you and jack you can trade trump

01:28:00.960 impressions my best one is jordan peterson japan won't fix the bloody uh japan won't chad

01:28:05.280 call it japan won't fix the core of its demographic problem at the government level they can deport all

01:28:08.800 they like but the core problem is a low native birth rate which i did mention ultimately this is

01:28:12.560 something the japanese people have to address themselves apart from government yeah i'd happily

01:28:17.120 accept a lower population uh instead of being replaced yeah i mean one's clearly better than the

01:28:24.160 other um if i was over there and someone accused me of stealing oh stealing their women i would let

01:28:31.040 them know with pride yes just the one but can you blame me that's one approach wouldn't go down that

01:28:35.600 that's also called dan yeah what is it with dan's i don't have time for all of them because i'll read

01:28:41.920 through a couple of mine okay sophie live there has already been scandals with ai being implemented

01:28:46.880 in health and health care and health insurance basically basically the ai was instructed to

01:28:51.120 always try to save as much money as possible which is also what humans in these fields are instructed

01:28:54.800 to do again technocracy ai only has one logic however the ai really has no conscience so just

01:29:00.880 auto denied any claim or need for surgery fantastic looking forward to more of that except on a racial

01:29:06.640 basis furious dan how are those life values measured i'm interested in how the study came

01:29:11.600 to the conclusion it draws even if it makes sense on its face i would have need to have gone more

01:29:17.680 deeply into the methodology and i didn't think it was entirely necessary because the results checked

01:29:22.480 out omar awad remember when a combination of algorithmically generated videos and the youtube

01:29:27.840 algorithm created hulk hitler and pregnant elsa dancing videos training ai on one of the most heavily

01:29:33.840 botted sites on the internet may have unpredictable results if you add on top that some of the groups

01:29:38.880 pretending to be white or fudging arrest documents to inflate white crime statistics we may end up in

01:29:44.000 an ai leopards ate my face situation that's always fun when you see fbi documents where somebody had

01:29:50.800 been arrested who is clearly middle eastern or mixed pale black just being called white so that they can

01:29:58.720 get the numbers up and also hispanics generally being classified as white as well do you want to

01:30:04.080 read through some of yours stelios right lord inquisitor hector rex so fun fact if the u.s

01:30:11.200 government shutdown goes for more than 60 days then trump no longer needs to just furlough federal

01:30:16.640 employees he can outright fire them permanently and it becomes within his power to do so oh that's great

01:30:22.720 arizona desert rat worked at a high school what happened somebody has done a poll in chat saying

01:30:34.240 should that video comment be our new podcast intro overwhelming majority says yes it worked at a high

01:30:41.360 school ages 14 to 18 for several years i heard more than one student say i'm not getting my high

01:30:47.600 school diploma because my mom said i get more money from the government if i don't have a degree

01:30:53.040 yeah that's how some kids are being raised sadly that's one of those videos that we were playing

01:30:57.520 with the woman stealing from that um outlet shop where she had her kids helping her great example to

01:31:03.840 say right someone online says snap really shouldn't let them buy junk food it should let people buy healthy

01:31:10.960 foods only kurt says so these people are afraid of not getting free food but don't realize that mass

01:31:16.800 looting will lead to even more grocery stores being closed down again it'll be your fault yeah

01:31:22.160 that's long-term thinking uh fuzzy toaster i wonder if armed security guard at grocery stores still

01:31:29.600 will still be a viable occupation for the foreseeable future and furious dan says lock your doors

01:31:35.280 lock your cars hide your wife hide your kids hide your husband because they eaten everybody out here

01:31:42.560 right and on that note we have come to the end but before we end we have to ask um aiden here where

01:31:50.400 can people find you and we have jack we have uh the aiden's challenge oh yeah we have aiden's channel

01:32:00.160 we'll bring it up so people yes so yeah that's a bit more yeah aiden paladin a y d i n p a l a d i n uh on

01:32:10.080 youtube i do long-form videos about different topics of science particularly social science and

01:32:15.440 politics i've recently finished up a massive video on um human sex ratio and how it's actually a

01:32:20.880 temperature or sort of thermometer for the health of human civilization and the findings are extremely

01:32:25.040 disconcerting and now i've moved on to a much more fun topic of um mass-scale terrorism and data
