00:02:46.780 first question thank you so much pi dagger fall or morrowind i have no idea what that means

00:02:55.600 i literally don't know what either of those two words mean uh luckily you did not donate much i mean

00:03:03.000 thank you for any donation but i don't know what that means if you'd like to add some some clarification

00:03:08.840 dagger fall or morrowind what is that is that are those video games i don't know uh georgio s

00:03:16.240 taverna uh many thanks for your donation without any questions thank you so much all right i'm just

00:03:23.820 i'm just uh going here love your work video games yes okay thank you for the person who

00:03:29.880 uh stated that it's a video game i'm not much of a video game player my absolute uh uh knowledge

00:03:39.940 of video games begins and ends with uh galaga 1981 i'm dating a girl her dad is working at a video game

00:03:53.840 store her dad who was an older gentleman was kind of a retirement gig uh and so i mastered the game

00:04:02.020 galaga so if any of you are old enough you might know what that is i was mildly reasonably good at

00:04:08.340 pac-man but that's where it ends so elders rolls games pi i don't know what that means but maybe my

00:04:16.440 son can help you oh so sorry i can't contribute anything more katherine ginter thank you so much for

00:04:22.200 your donation okay jeff horton wow thank you for this very generous donation how long will it be

00:04:27.280 before biden looks to fund more rockets for hamas and iran uh not not much longer suicidal empathy

00:04:35.880 topic of my next book guys right we need to be kind to the islamic world because otherwise they'll be

00:04:43.300 mean to us we need to be kind to the honduran and ms-13 el salvadorians because uh ms-13 gang members

00:04:51.880 uh because they they want a better life we need to be kind to the drug addicts and homeless people

00:05:00.040 who are defecating and fornicating in the schoolyard uh because otherwise it wouldn't be empathetic and so

00:05:07.880 the topic of my next book titled suicidal empathy exactly explore explores how when

00:05:17.320 the emotion of empathy misfires it becomes hyperactive it and it misfires to the wrong

00:05:25.440 targets you end up with many of the policies that we see today of course our emotional system is

00:05:32.100 adaptive emotions have evolved to solve specific evolutionary problems no problem there the problem

00:05:37.720 arises when when those emotions misfire for example ocd is the misfiring of an otherwise adaptive

00:05:45.960 process it's normal to scan the world for environmental threats it's not normal when they become

00:05:51.400 hyperactive right when you sit and you wash your hands for eight hours a day when you check

00:05:56.600 if the oven is closed for six hours a day so using that mechanism i demonstrate how suicidal empathy

00:06:04.120 results in all sorts of problems so uh so thank you for that question uh jeff horton let's see if uh

00:06:13.240 hunter biden will be treated in ways that uh we should expect him to be treated given that

00:06:19.640 he's a pig and a criminal katherine uh let me put my glasses i can't see kathleen ginter i hope i'm

00:06:27.960 pronouncing right thank you so much for your contribution uh pi comes back with another question uh let me see

00:06:34.320 here accounting or f psych which to get so i'm guessing you mean which degree to get

00:06:40.680 uh look i don't i don't i don't like the idea of uh basing a choice of what to study as a function

00:06:51.720 of you know market conditions or you know uh which which is more likely to get me a job and so on it's

00:06:58.760 really what your passion is accounting is a very very different uh pursuit than evolutionary psychology

00:07:06.120 right and so it at the risk of sounding cliche-ish but i truly don't think it's a cliche uh i talk

00:07:13.960 about this by the way in my happiness book my latest book when i talk about existential authenticity

00:07:19.080 you need to be authentic to yourself that's why the delphic maxim know thyself is so powerful so

00:07:26.280 what what fascinates you more do you want to be a managerial accountant do you want to be a cpa

00:07:31.320 uh does that interest you that's keeping the books uh something that excites you evolutionary

00:07:37.160 psychology is a completely different ball game it's basically applying the evolutionary lens to

00:07:42.840 understand human behavior and you know evolutionary psychology you're only going to be able to pursue

00:07:48.280 a career there as an evolutionary psychologist if you become an academic now that doesn't mean that

00:07:53.720 you can't apply evolutionary psychology principles if you're a marketer or an advertiser or an employer

00:07:59.720 but if you're saying i want to specialize in evolutionary psychology to then be an evolutionary

00:08:05.240 psychologist that's typically going to be an academic career so i can't really tell you which

00:08:10.760 one it really depends on when you wake up in the morning which is the one that's going to give you

00:08:15.720 existential glee thank you for that question let's go to kimberly oh thank you so much for this very

00:08:20.760 generous donation thank you for your work i appreciate your voice and insights that is very kind of you

00:08:26.680 bartolome esteban thank you for uh contribution let me just read what you said good evening dr sad i'm

00:08:33.160 reading your book and i howled in laughter when you told your date to say hello to her parents

00:08:40.360 on another note i hope sunday you finally are proven wrong finally proven wrong about about what by the

00:08:48.280 way the story that uh bartolome is saying here maybe i shouldn't say it so that you go out and buy the book

00:08:53.960 but this is uh this was a christian syrian girl i talk about this when i'm discussing uh the importance

00:09:01.240 of choosing the right mate for for you to be happy and so i tell the story of how uh at one point i had

00:09:10.520 been set up on a date with this really beautiful syrian girl but she was she was a syrian christian girl

00:09:16.120 and we went out on a few dates and the only thing she tried to do throughout the entire time that we

00:09:23.640 went out on these dates is to try to find out what my religion was and she was trying to establish that

00:09:30.440 i wasn't muslim because she wanted to only date a christian guy not knowing of course that there is a

00:09:36.840 big third option you know the one that predates those two other religions by thousands of years

00:09:43.080 this thing called jews uh and so on our last date at one point we were sitting at this beautiful

00:09:50.520 salon de thé like tea house uh which no longer exists in montreal and i

00:09:56.760 turned to her and i said you know i know i know what you've been doing this is she goes what what

00:10:01.400 she feigns like she's what what are you talking about i said i know that you've been trying to

00:10:06.120 find out if i'm christian or muslim no no not me never no no i said come on let's cut the nonsense

00:10:14.920 i am your parents worst nightmare she said what do you mean i said well you're trying to find out what

00:10:20.760 my religion is i'm your parents worst nightmare she said well what are you muslim i said no much worse

00:10:28.200 so she couldn't come up what's what could be worse so then i said come closer get closer and i said i'm

00:10:34.600 jewish now when you go back and read this section you're getting the the visuals of me telling that

00:10:42.440 story so thank you for mentioning that bartolome and so she we get into the car she just wants to get

00:10:48.200 home and then as we're about to get to her house she's almost like literally jumping out of the car

00:10:54.200 like a ramble and she gets out of the car and she goes uh you know good luck to you best of luck to

00:11:00.360 you i said oh you mean like with my disease meaning being jewish and then i said uh i won't say it in

00:11:07.800 arabic as most people won't get it but it's like there's a way when you say like tell your parents

00:11:12.040 that i miss them but it's done in a kind of uh manipulative way where i really don't it's kind

00:11:19.480 of it's a sarcastic way of saying you're an idiot but i do it politely by saying tell your parents that i

00:11:24.920 missed them so thank you for that one bartolome and thank you for your contribution the jew who

00:11:31.240 believes i don't know why it's cut i can't see what the rest of the the jew who believes shalom love your

00:11:39.880 stuff i feel a little less bamboozled when i listen to you i'm thinking of this uh uh sejour or sojourn

00:11:47.400 in quebec this fall how bad is it really out there in terms of anti-semitism and such

00:11:51.400 look of course it's not as though they're rounding up jews in montreal and executing them

00:11:57.960 on the spot but it's a general atmosphere there is a extraordinary increase of noble people of

00:12:05.480 perpetual peace in montreal whenever there is an increase of such folks jew hatred follows and so

00:12:12.920 montreal is being islamized at a very very rapid rate can you still be jewish without being killed of

00:12:18.440 course but the writing is on the wall right many of you have heard the story that i said when my son

00:12:24.440 came by with my wife to pick me up at a cafe and he said daddy if you were wearing a star of david

00:12:31.560 where i just played soccer today you'd be dead this is happening in montreal in the 21st century so

00:12:37.160 i would still encourage you to come and visit but uh i might be a bit uh careful with wearing a very big

00:12:44.120 star of david okay let's go on to the next person hold on uh pi comes back i must earn money make make

00:12:52.440 a living thanks mate okay yeah uh this is the person who asked me about accounting versus evolutionary

00:12:57.800 psychology i hear you there are pragmatic decisions that we have to make but here's what i also don't

00:13:03.480 want for you i don't want you to wake up when you're 55 and say god damn it i spent 20 years 30 years

00:13:11.000 being an accountant i hate accounting so one of the best ways that you can forestall uh a midlife

00:13:17.480 crisis that you could forestall uh retroactive regret looking back at your life and saying oh god damn i

00:13:23.400 should have gone into evolutionary psychology i should have become an architect is that you know you really

00:13:28.600 think hard before you commit to those decisions so best of luck to you and uh maybe in a future uh stream

00:13:35.720 you'll tell us whether you went down the accounting or evolutionary psychology uh lens john michael jones

00:13:43.000 thank you so much for your contribution do you know of research into muslim immigrants to the west that

00:13:47.320 has tried to establish whether islamic fundamentalists their fundamentalism or deconvert i'm thinking of louis

00:13:53.560 ahmad's story about his friend who deconverted so i'm not sure what you're asking are you asking whether

00:13:59.480 first generation or second generation or third generation islamic immigrants are more likely

00:14:05.320 or less likely to be uh fundamentalists and and cause problems or assimilate there is i think some

00:14:13.160 research that has looked at that uh across several countries i wouldn't be able to cite it off the top

00:14:18.440 of my head but i certainly think that there is such research uh the gentleman that you mentioned uh

00:14:24.520 louis ahmad is is a uh yemeni gentleman who came on my show a few months ago i had noticed him because

00:14:32.840 he kind of came out of nowhere and started producing these very you know well uh structured messages that

00:14:40.440 went viral he's a he's a muslim by by by by heritage but who is not very sympathetic to islam in part

00:14:50.200 because he is a gay man uh islam is not particularly fond of the gays and so he came on my show and we

00:15:00.520 had a very very nice chat uh so i think that that's the well not i think that's the gentleman you're

00:15:05.560 thinking about check out our chat together his name is lu l-u-a-i ahmad lu uh l-u-a-i is his first

00:15:15.240 name ahmad is his second name just enter the the name in in my search engine on youtube and you'll

00:15:22.120 see our chat incredible conversation we had really lovely guy who who delivers his message very clearly

00:15:29.320 frontally but you know with class and restraint so i would definitely check him out all right the

00:15:34.920 rational male what is your take on ovulatory shift in contrast to mate switching hypothesis as proposed by

00:15:42.440 dr david bus is the crisis of replication in psychology affecting this academic backpedaling

00:15:49.400 on the ovulatory shift uh hypothesis so there's a lot of stuff there so i don't know how much time i can

00:15:56.520 uh by the way thank you for your uh donation uh well david bus is a very very well-known evolutionary

00:16:03.560 psychologist good friend of mine university texas austin he wrote the preface to my 2011 book called

00:16:12.760 the uh consuming instinct what juicy burgers pornography uh juicy burgers and gift-giving reveal about

00:16:21.000 human nature uh the ovulatory shift hypothesis is basically the idea that uh depending on where in

00:16:31.320 their menstrual cycle women are they might prefer uh one type of man versus another so that the typical

00:16:40.200 finding that was reported and promulgated within the evolutionary psychology uh field was okay if if a

00:16:49.240 woman is maximally fertile therefore she's shopping for good genes uh because that's when if she mates

00:16:56.120 she's she's she's she's likely to conceive then uh she prefers guys with good phenotypic markers therefore she

00:17:03.560 prefer prefers the cad and then when she's not in her ovulatory cycle uh

00:17:10.200 or in her fertile phase of her ovulatory cycle then she prefers uh the dad so the guys who may be less

00:17:17.080 less you know with the testosterone markers and so on okay so the cad versus dad and then some research

00:17:24.680 has come out now that has questioned that and have and there's been you know uh other mechanisms that

00:17:31.560 have been proposed and so there's all this kind of and so i'm not sure if that finding would be construed as

00:17:37.720 part of the replication crisis it's the replication crisis really applies to the fact that very very

00:17:44.920 few findings that are typically published in the social sciences in general and in psychology in

00:17:50.120 particular are ever replicated number one they're just not even they don't you don't even try to replicate

00:17:55.960 them but then when you do try to replicate them they often fail to replicate in this case what what

00:18:03.560 you're asking here demonstrates that it is simply not true that evolutionary hypotheses are unfalsifiable

00:18:10.680 because here's an example where the ovulatory shift hypothesis had been taken as as uh you know a done

00:18:17.640 deal and then other people came out with other findings that suggested well wait a minute maybe the

00:18:22.120 the story is not complete yet so there's nothing epistemologically unfalsifiable about evolutionary hypotheses

00:18:29.560 as a matter of fact i've i've done many i've published many studies myself where we we proposed a

00:18:35.640 particular hypothesis that ended up being falsified and yet the the work was still published in top

00:18:41.160 journals thank you very much for that question rational mail uh let's move on uh we've got the jew who

00:18:49.560 i don't know why i can't see the rest of your uh your name also as an israeli i have to say that we have

00:18:55.800 absolutely stunning examples in the israeli left it really is a miracle we are still here stunning

00:19:01.640 examples i'm guessing of parasitic uh thinking the what i call the anna epstein syndrome anna epstein

00:19:10.440 for some of you who may not know who that is i think she's the student at boston college or boston

00:19:17.160 university uh that was caught after october 7th caught meaning on she was taped she was recorded on a phone

00:19:24.760 taking down anna epstein jewish anna epstein taking down the photos of kidnapped israeli babies because

00:19:34.920 she's so progressive that she's on the right side of history she's on the side of of the history of the

00:19:41.160 people who had she been at that nova film festival she would have been gang raped and sodomized but she

00:19:48.280 sees above that she knows that the noble hamas freedom fighters are the good guys whereas the israelis and

00:19:54.440 the idf are just genocidal killers all right thank you very much i'm sure i don't i like to think i

00:20:00.840 haven't missed anybody yet let me just go up make sure that i've covered everybody okay going down

00:20:07.480 all right keep those questions coming guys i love this you know what i love about doing this you don't

00:20:12.440 know what's going to come at you it's it's a it's a form of intellectual improvisation theater right you

00:20:19.000 and and i haven't done these in a while i think this is my 11th one and one of the things that i love about

00:20:24.600 this is i could be asked personal questions about what's my favorite drink or what one person just

00:20:29.640 asked about what which game do you prefer or a heavy question as the ovulatory shift question

00:20:35.000 evolutionary theory and so it's like you just have to think fast on your toes and so i love that okay

00:20:41.560 let me go back and make sure i don't miss anybody uh okay moving on to benjamin jeffrey thank you so

00:20:48.200 much for your contribution have you read david dutch the beginning of infinity could you do a podcast

00:20:53.960 with david uh and naval on epistemology what's naval i guess that's that's the name of another person uh

00:21:02.760 i think it's a person with a big uh following if i'm not mistaken evolution of culture memes institutions

00:21:08.920 etc well i do know of david dutch he follows me on x and i followed him back uh i know that he's

00:21:16.840 a physicist i know that he's been a successful author i have thought actually about inviting him

00:21:21.480 so thank you for reminding me of that and i guess i'll think about inviting him soon i should mention

00:21:26.840 that i've got a great guest coming on the show i'm going to promote his book right here so let me

00:21:31.720 read for you this is called darwin comes to town how the urban jungle drives evolution so it's a

00:21:38.600 book about urban ecology and how urban ecosystems create selection environments for evolution to

00:21:47.240 operate in so you could have pigeons that start off from a common stock but then they move to

00:21:52.680 different areas of a city and then they develop into completely different subspecies because the

00:21:58.360 ecosystem within that neighborhood is uniquely different from some other urban ecosystem within the

00:22:05.400 same city very very cool he'll be on my show this wednesday don't miss it i i love you know i love

00:22:13.000 having all kinds of guests on my show you know and i've had a million different types of guests but uh

00:22:18.360 you know when i first started a lot of my guests were oftentimes you know scientists philosophers

00:22:24.520 psychologists all you know historians uh and so on and and i i love geeking out with all of the

00:22:31.960 academics that come on my show just last week i had a great guest uh dr colin wright who is an

00:22:39.240 evolutionary biologist by training did his phd at ucsb in 2018 he he's an entomologist he did some work on

00:22:48.520 uh spiders and on uh wasps we got into all sorts of cool stuff about sexual dimorphisms within spider

00:22:56.760 species and so on go check out our chat you know it's very frustrating because sometimes i put up a

00:23:03.080 chat i'm so excited about the content and then it gets you know 4 000 views i don't know how to play

00:23:09.240 the algorithmic game i don't know how to you know maximize my i just post it and i move on but it really

00:23:15.560 frustrates me because these chats should be receiving 10 times 100 times more viewers if you can help uh spread

00:23:23.160 the word please do so all right let's move on thank you benjamin for your question moving on uh

00:23:30.120 bartolome esteban is back about what where to start you are eerily prescient about so many things

00:23:39.160 thank you you know one of the things uh i mean there are several cognitive mechanisms that cause one to be

00:23:47.960 able to extrapolate and be prescient about the future so for example people say how are you so

00:23:53.480 accurate with your prophetic satire well it's because what i do is i take some insane idea that is being

00:24:00.600 promulgated today and then i force it down the slippery slope to the to its boundary condition i then satirize

00:24:10.040 that extreme boundary condition and then i cross my hands and then wait for reality to catch up to my

00:24:17.160 prophetic satire so that's one of the tricks i use it's uh it's a difficult uh cognitive skill to have

00:24:24.760 but when you do it well you do come across as though you are uh the old cassandra's curse you are

00:24:31.800 making predictions that in many cases regrettably turn out to be prescient and true thank you very much

00:24:37.480 for your contribution giorgio s taverna uh thank you so much for your contribution gad when does anti-zionism

00:24:45.880 transform into anti-semitism and or anti-judaism it is almost always the case that the bullshitters

00:24:55.560 the enemies of dignity who say no no no i love the jews i'm only anti-zionist it's complete nonsense i

00:25:03.320 won't get into all the reasons i'm thinking actually of writing a full-length article on this topic but in

00:25:09.560 99 of the cases when someone says i'm an anti-zionist it's simply the politically correct uh term for

00:25:19.960 being an orgiastic jew hater now that doesn't mean by the way that doesn't mean that you can't

00:25:26.200 criticize israeli policies that doesn't mean that israel is beyond reproach no not at all it doesn't

00:25:33.080 mean that you can't criticize some tenant of judaism without being anti-semitic but when you

00:25:39.480 hold israel to a standard that is uniquely different from every other nation that has ever existed when

00:25:47.800 you are only compelled to speak out you are a person who lives in oregon and you know nothing about the

00:25:55.800 middle east and you're completely quiet when muslims are killing each other in the hundreds of thousands if

00:26:01.720 not millions but suddenly you become very very upset when israel retaliates because of what happened

00:26:07.160 october 7th from your home in eugene oregon then it's not because you're anti-zionist it's because

00:26:12.600 you're you're a you're a himmler so uh for me there is not much of a distinction between the two

00:26:20.040 thank you georgio for that and believe me i know that you know what i'm saying because

00:26:26.760 of my personal history i can assure you that most people who pretend to be anti-zionist

00:26:32.440 are just garden variety jew haters all right let's move on oh we've got some arabic stuff here

00:26:40.360 kurdish people love you gad you're one of the most reasonable people we have nowadays

00:26:44.280 one of the most reasonable one of all right for uses i can't i don't know how to pronounce that

00:26:52.120 thank you so much for your contribution dr sad you're the man wondering if you caught the chris

00:26:56.520 cuomo and dave smith debate on patrick but david podcast and what are your thoughts are on that if

00:27:02.440 any no i didn't watch that uh i mean i know who chris cuomo is dave smith i only know the name now

00:27:09.480 because many many people tagged me saying oh there is some comedian called hold on a second i got a drink

00:27:16.040 there's some comedian called dave smith who went on joe rogan after you and you know he's taking you

00:27:25.880 to task i had i don't know who this guy is and i haven't listened to the show that's all i know about

00:27:30.680 him so i can't really comment about that but thank you very much for your contribution let's move on

00:27:37.320 okay am i missing anybody so far oh david schnett and i'm missing the rest oh my god what an

00:27:44.440 incredible donation thank you so much without a question how lovely is that john michael jones

00:27:50.120 when will your fans be able to pay hard cash for darwinian psychology great course lecture by dr

00:27:57.160 dr gadsad i love that uh by the way did you know that when you have two phds technically you can write

00:28:03.960 let's say your name is john smith and you have two phds it'll be dr dr john smith and the way that i

00:28:10.120 found this out is i was taking a advanced calculus class many many years ago in college and uh one of

00:28:20.040 my uh teachers and i say teachers because our college is different from when we say college it's

00:28:27.640 not what has meant college in the u.s in quebec we go to high school until grade 11 so you finish high

00:28:33.400 school and grade 11 then you go to a separate institution called a college or a cgep which is

00:28:39.560 an acronym for something uh and that college is a two-year degree then you go to university and so

00:28:47.960 usually you don't call your cgep teachers professors professor is a title reserved for you know university

00:28:56.200 appointments so my advanced calculus teacher was dr dr casey young imagine if he's actually

00:29:04.200 listening to this 40 years later so when when can we have hope to have a course look one of the things

00:29:09.960 that i thought about doing is uh you know i have a subscription and actually the people who are now

00:29:16.920 listening on x spaces i have a subscription monthly subscription exclusive content on x i think for like

00:29:25.080 six bucks a month you get all sorts of exclusive content like yesterday for example i went to uh one

00:29:31.080 of our great public libraries here in montreal and i found a whole bunch of really cool books and i took

00:29:37.960 screenshots of each of those books and then i posted 11 book recommendations exclusively to my subscribers

00:29:46.040 and so one of the things i was thinking of doing is maybe i would release uh you know courses

00:29:53.480 for my subscribers but frankly to put together those courses it would have to be a remuneration

00:30:00.600 that's much more than you know five or six dollars a month so i'm not exactly sure what is the mechanism

00:30:05.880 by which i would do that to be honest with you in a dream world if i could just monetize my time

00:30:11.320 so that i can just do these courses and that could you know pay for for my life that would be great not

00:30:18.840 believe me being a professor is in my dna but it is becoming rather difficult to be a professor at my

00:30:26.840 current university in montreal and so you know all options are up for grabs so to answer your question

00:30:35.240 though uh mr jones hopefully soon let's see thoughts on wes anderson's films like grand budapest uh

00:30:44.840 don't know much about his movies i think the movie that i know from wes anderson is the the one with

00:30:51.000 the the monster that has the big nails uh freddie krueger i think but i'm not much of an expert so i

00:30:57.160 couldn't tell you uh so sorry pi that's all i've got on that one ok 23 thank you for your uh

00:31:06.520 contributions iranians stand with israel thank you by the way a couple of days ago i was sitting at a cafe

00:31:11.480 with my wife chatting with a young woman by the way let me tell you that story about this young

00:31:15.960 one because i'm gonna i'm gonna get to iranians in a second so about about two weeks ago i'm i'm

00:31:21.560 walking to our local cafe and i see this young woman just bawling crying so i i look at her everybody's

00:31:28.360 passing by her nobody pays any attention to her she's visibly distraught so i woke up i walk up to her and i

00:31:34.520 say you know what what's wrong can i help you you know oh my boyfriend he left whatever i we fought

00:31:40.680 and so on so i sit with her for five ten minutes but then i quickly realized you know i thought you

00:31:44.680 know maybe she got like a terminal disease uh diagnosis because the way she was crying she's a

00:31:51.400 young girl so her boyfriend boo hoo hoo so i tried to be supportive i said okay come on let's move on

00:31:56.920 but i tried to help her a few days later i'm sitting with my wife and this young woman comes up to me but

00:32:02.520 i don't recognize her because her hair is different and she says hi to me but i thought oh she must be

00:32:07.880 one of my teenage daughter's friends i said oh are you one of my daughter's friends she was no no no i

00:32:12.760 was the girl that you kindly came up to when i was crying a few days ago so okay she sat down with us

00:32:19.400 with my wife and i and then a few days later i was sitting at a cafe she sat with us and as we were

00:32:24.280 sitting there an iranian gentleman comes up to me says are you ghat sad i said yes you always hope that

00:32:31.880 it's going to be a friend not a foe and knock on wood 99.9 of the cases it always is a fan he said

00:32:39.080 oh i'm iranian and you know i love your work and many of us iranians follow your stuff and we're with

00:32:45.160 you and we get it so uh thank you very much i really appreciate the iranian love that i get so iranians

00:32:51.480 stand with israel wishing for the days like during the shah the shah of iran where we can rekindle our

00:32:56.840 ancient bond with the jews the children of cyrus are awake and rooting for you shukran habibi that's

00:33:03.640 not uh persian but shukran means thank you habibi my love all right let's let's see if i missed anybody

00:33:10.120 else here oh what do you think oh this is clay thank you for your donation what do you think of the

00:33:17.240 ancient greek school of cynics what do you think of asceticism uh diogenes i don't i always not sure how

00:33:26.200 to pronounce it is my hero yes i think he's the gentleman who uh uh forsake forsaked everything and

00:33:35.720 lived as a homeless guy and i think he masturbated publicly or something he had a dog with him there's

00:33:41.560 a famous painting with him and the dog uh i actually i'm not going to rehash all this but i get into

00:33:47.000 some of the ancient greek philosophies not so much cynicism but some of the other relevant ones

00:33:52.840 in my book on happiness and the good life as you know there are many ancient greek schools of thoughts

00:33:59.800 uh philosophical schools of thought that speak about what is the optimal good life and so i i do a

00:34:07.560 a an overview of some of these ideas i focus more on the stoics uh seneca uh epictetus uh i also discuss

00:34:16.920 uh aristotle's all things in moderation which is the golden mean and have a whole chapter on the

00:34:23.080 inverted u so if you're interested in uh my views on many of these ancient greek philosophies

00:34:29.560 then you really want to check out this book right here where is it oh oh oh this way this book oh

00:34:36.920 the happiness book uh the sad truth about happiness thank you for that question should we get rid of

00:34:42.600 anti-discrimination laws or at least define their scope and significance this is billy bob johnson

00:34:47.000 uh absolutely uh look it sucks to to to be a bigot it sucks to be a racist uh i certainly don't think in

00:34:57.000 corrective laws that seek to correct past grievances so i'm not for affirmative action i think that's an

00:35:05.240 enemy of human dignity if there truly are barriers to entry for particular groups then by all means

00:35:12.200 eradicate those uh but affirmative actions if you want are the precursors of all the die

00:35:18.600 bullshit that we see today diversity inclusion and equity it's just repackaged in a more cancerous

00:35:23.320 form so yes i think a lot of that is bullshit all right let's go on dr sad you are the man that one

00:35:29.320 we did clay we did iranians we did thoughts on wes anderson when will your fans okay david i i hate that i

00:35:37.720 can't see the rest of your name but david thank you so much you gave a big generous donation without

00:35:43.400 even asking a question my goodness thank you uh oh john michael jones it's so bad the way it does it

00:35:53.400 i hate the way this mechanism works hold on okay were you prescient about tucker carlson and nasim talib or

00:36:00.920 was your prior opinion falsified after october 7th 7th i'm a blaspheming god worshiper hold on i'm

00:36:09.960 trying to this is john michael jones again thank you so much uh were you pressing about tucker carlson

00:36:14.600 and nasim or was it i'm not sure exactly what you mean it's a bit cryptic do you mean that

00:36:19.720 could i could i have predicted their reactions about israel post october 7th no i i would be lying

00:36:32.120 if i said i could have predicted it i mean in tucker carlson's case uh if i'm going to be charitable

00:36:39.080 you know he's a he's a good friend i've been on his show many times and so on i i appreciate him he was

00:36:44.360 very very hospitable and kind to to my family when we visited him in florida uh i'm going to say that

00:36:53.800 he's very much of an isolationist and so he believes hey why are we uh supporting the ukrainian

00:37:00.040 effort war effort or the or israel when we've got our own problems here and to the extent that he is

00:37:06.920 being consistent in that position i can appreciate that i could agree or disagree with it but to the

00:37:12.440 extent that that's the impetus of his position regarding israel then i can buy it i haven't

00:37:19.080 really followed what nasim's positions are and believe me i'm not trying to dodge anything but

00:37:24.520 it it does seem as though he's he's been quite hostile to israel uh i would have to look into it

00:37:30.680 more to get a sense of why he is holding his positions but uh yes i i was perhaps a bit surprised

00:37:36.920 that he would take such a hard line position you know israel are genocidal killers anybody who

00:37:42.840 supports israel and so on so that maybe has been a bit surprising to me so yes uh but i haven't spoken

00:37:49.000 to nasim about it we haven't touched base uh in a while maybe it's time for us to to have a chat thank you

00:37:54.920 very much uh beta books deluxe appreciate you and your work that's all thank you so much for your

00:38:02.760 donation your kind words moving on here i hope i haven't missed anybody oh here it is uh furis j

00:38:12.280 f-u-r-i-u-s-j greetings dr sad wondering if you can weigh in on the red pill manosphere phenomenon

00:38:20.040 that is influencing a lot of influencing a lot of young men these days it's funny that you say this

00:38:24.600 because i'm i've gotten recently several invitations to shows that i think would fit under that rubric of

00:38:33.400 the the manosphere kind of i can't remember there's one show like a very big show where these couple of

00:38:39.560 guys sit in front of a whole bunch of women and they kind of give them i mean it might be much to say

00:38:45.320 the socratic method i'm not sure it's it quite fits under socratic but they reach out to me

00:38:50.920 recently that they wanted me to i don't know if they're in miami or whatever that they you know

00:38:55.560 they they were interested in in having me on their show uh look it depends how you want me like what's

00:39:03.640 the angle of how you're asking the question about the manosphere some of that stuff is a bit too

00:39:08.600 bro bro stuff for me uh in that you know they take a few little snippets a bit here from evolutionary

00:39:17.800 psychology a bit there from whatever and then they spin it but uh to the extent if i'm going to be

00:39:23.640 charitable to the extent that uh in a sexually reproducing species both sexes need to be uh in

00:39:32.920 french you say valoriser appreciated uh then it makes sense that the manosphere folks are trying to

00:39:41.160 elevate the confidence of a lot of young men that have been brutalized by the idea pathogen known as

00:39:48.440 radical feminism right it's never a good idea in a sexually reproducing species for uh one species one

00:39:58.360 uh phenotype of the species called women radical feminists in this case to pathologize masculinity

00:40:07.320 and so to the extent that some of these bro red pill manosphere guys are saying hey wait a minute uh

00:40:13.320 you know we have inherent value masculinity is a good thing women are attracted to masculine guys

00:40:19.880 and so on then it's fine i find some of the delivery uh of the little i mean usually my only exposure to

00:40:27.240 those guys is when i'm uh flipping on instagram either looking at belgian shepherds or at lionel

00:40:35.560 messy highlights these guys will kind of creep into my instagram reels and i'll see some little snippet where

00:40:42.520 they're doing their bro stuff that's all i have to say about that all right let's keep going and by the way

00:40:48.040 to all the folks who are listening to this on um i'm looking here at my uh x spaces uh sorry i'm not

00:40:57.960 taking any of your questions but if you wish to ask me questions head off to my youtube live stream

00:41:05.560 donate as a super chat guy or girl and i'll be happy to field your questions all right let's keep going

00:41:12.360 we've got p y k n g just donated i don't know what m y r is as a currency i hope it's uh stronger than

00:41:22.520 a canadian dollar because it looks like a pretty uh generous donation it could only be six cents who

00:41:27.880 knows thank you so much bartolome is back bartolome esteban what are your thoughts about video games

00:41:33.560 waste of time or is it a legitimate endeavor with positive outcomes okay let me answer that first part

00:41:38.520 and then i'll go to another part uh you know it's a it's a it's a personal topic in that uh if any of

00:41:47.560 you have children it is a lot more difficult to get a child off of any of these electronic devices than

00:41:56.040 it is to uh wean a crystal meth addict from off their you know their drug consumption and so our son plays

00:42:05.320 a lot of video games and it really frustrates me and angers me uh yes if you want to be charitable

00:42:11.000 there are some games that improve high uh hand eye coordination all this bullshit no it's it baloney

00:42:18.920 i mean if you if you if you spend half an hour a week playing some video game because you want to have

00:42:23.640 fun that's that's okay that's not how most kids interact with video games by the way i i wrote a couple

00:42:29.480 of book chapters with some of my former graduate students looking at evolutionary explanations of

00:42:34.520 certain aspects of video games so if any of you are interested in that stuff you can send me an

00:42:40.440 email and maybe i can share with you those references uh yeah so i'm not a fan of video games uh spend your

00:42:47.960 time reading and exercising more than playing video games life is about trade-offs speaking of which i think

00:42:54.040 you asked me next about dr soul dr soul thomas soul is an economist who understands cost benefit analysis

00:42:59.960 who understands uh trade-offs and uh he would say exactly the same thing on another note i hope you

00:43:06.520 get dr soul on your show have a good night cheers thank you so much actually i'm not one that just dishes

00:43:13.640 out compliments easily uh i i dish them out when they are uh uh well justified and well earned lionel

00:43:21.880 messi deserves all the praise in the world thomas soul deserves all the praise in the world for those

00:43:26.360 of you who don't know him please quickly get to know him i think the window of me being able to

00:43:31.400 get him on my show is quickly dwindling although i remain hopeful a few years ago i came very close

00:43:37.240 to getting him on but he's you know he's well into his 90s i think he's maybe 93 now 94 almost completely

00:43:44.600 reclusive almost grants no interviews or chats so i think if there was a way to get to him i would be able

00:43:52.360 to convince him to come on i think it would be really a historical conversation for those of you

00:43:56.680 who don't know thomas soul is the is the og of attacking these woke bullshitters you can go on

00:44:02.920 youtube enter thomas soul he's smacking down some bullshit leftist or or feminist in the 1960s when i

00:44:10.920 wasn't born so yeah he's a fantastic guy i i wrote an article a few years ago which then became a

00:44:18.280 a sad truth clip where i say you know 10 reasons why we you should you should love thomas soul so

00:44:25.080 you should check it out i also did a podcast that is fully dedicated to thomas soul and the the host

00:44:33.560 of the of that show who's a huge thomas soul fan allowed me to uh post our conversation on my channel

00:44:40.760 so you can go check that out so yes i hear you bartolome i would love to host dr soul he is fantastic

00:44:48.120 uh oh i'm seeing some of the comments here very very nice uh okay let me see if i'm missing

00:44:54.760 anybody oh we got bobby hill thank you so much for your donation here's your question are there

00:45:01.720 forgive the grammar nazi the spelling nazi are there t-h-e-r-e not t-a not possessive there are there

00:45:11.080 any evolutionary benefits of high functioning autism formerly asperger's syndrome what a fantastic

00:45:19.240 question okay let me step back a second the the leading researcher on autism i i think i would i would

00:45:32.120 think so is simon uh baron cohen who is either the brother or the cousin of sasha baron cohen many of

00:45:42.200 you remember him he's borat borat the famous comedian guy uh so his cousin or maybe brother but i think it's

00:45:50.280 cousin uh is simon baron cohen he is a leader in uh studying autism i think he's at a university in

00:46:00.200 england i thought about inviting him on my show then i got a bit turned off by some of his woke positions

00:46:07.480 not that that means i shouldn't invite him but uh so he's excuse me certainly on my list of potential

00:46:12.840 guys to invite because he really is a a very accomplished psychologist uh who who dealt with

00:46:19.800 autism a couple of things i'll say about autism before i get to the evolutionary element autism is

00:46:25.000 actually uh when you uh diagnose autism in children one of the ways you do it is you give them a test

00:46:35.480 that measures their theory of mind theory of mind is the cognitive ability whereby for humans to have

00:46:43.880 meaningful interactions i have to be able to put myself in your mind in your shoes in order to be able

00:46:51.560 to have certain meaningful interactions with you so that's called having theory of mind well there are

00:46:57.400 tasks that you can give kids that either demonstrates that they possess theory of mind or don't and when

00:47:05.160 they don't possess theory of mind that's a telltale sign of how to measure uh autism in young children

00:47:15.000 uh regarding the evolutionary explanations of autism there are explanations that have looked at that i'm not

00:47:21.080 totally familiar with it so i don't want to botch it and give a wrong explanation see that there is

00:47:27.480 what's called epistemic humility when you don't know something don't fake it admit that you're not

00:47:34.040 fully sure about the explanation and therefore people will always trust you you know what you know

00:47:39.080 and you know what you don't know but but what i can tell you for sure is that the uh autism and i think

00:47:46.040 specifically asperger's uh has been studied from an evolutionary perspective but more generally your

00:47:51.560 question could be applied more generally to have uh psychiatric and clinical psychological conditions

00:48:01.560 been studied via an evolutionary lens and the answer is a resounding yes i've talked about this before

00:48:08.280 i've even done a sad truth clip on it there's a whole field called evolutionary uh psychopathology

00:48:16.040 evolutionary clinical psychology darwinian psychiatry all of these fields that are that operate within the

00:48:23.560 mental health realm seek to tackle mental health issues by the way i've published papers in medical journals

00:48:32.680 on evolutionary explanation of suicide uh evolutionary explanation for sex differences in the symptomatology of

00:48:46.360 obsessive compulsive disorder and uh evolutionary explanation for munchhausen syndrome by proxy

00:48:54.680 this is a paper that i published in 2010 in a medical journal and that's how i then in the parasitic mind

00:49:04.120 coined the term developed you know coined the malady collective munchhausen and collective munchhausen

00:49:10.040 by proxy because i was very familiar with this condition so all this to say if what you're interested in

00:49:17.400 is evolutionary explanations for psychiatric disorders the book troisi and mcguire darwinian psychiatry

00:49:27.560 unbelievable it's technical it's a technical book it's an academic book but uh you definitely want to

00:49:33.240 check it out my goodness am i imparting some wisdom all right let's go on thank you so much bobby for your

00:49:40.040 contribution uh i think i missed somebody here let me go back to make sure uh i'm not missing anybody

00:49:47.080 okay hold on a second okay we're coming to jeff evely oh thank you so much for your very generous

00:49:55.400 contribution have you read any of neil howe's books and the answer is no in 1991 he forecasted that a

00:50:04.040 major crisis would threaten civilization in the year 2020 plus or minus two years due to the demographics

00:50:12.040 in play it's called a fourth turning wow interesting i'll have to remember neil howe is this a real guy

00:50:19.480 an academic someone serious or is it a kind of a nostradamus type of thing i'm not sure but certainly

00:50:25.400 interesting i'll have to check it out but sorry i can't add anything more i haven't read any of his work

00:50:31.000 but thank you for turning me to that reference all right let's celebrate their first super chat okay i don't

00:50:38.520 know what that means okay thank you for your positivity okay okay okay sorry i'm reading a

00:50:46.920 non-super chat donor okay we got another super chatter super chat donor lt islam colonized and enslaved and

00:50:55.560 worse north africa north cyprus iran turkey lebanon etc yet tiny israel gets all the hate why are people so blind

00:51:02.600 the countries and the areas that you have just listed is a a minuscule fraction of the brutal

00:51:12.120 colonialism and imperialism that islam has engaged in for the past 1400 years but that's noble you see

00:51:19.640 the sword of islam beheads you peacefully whereas you know the jews they're nasty colonial colonial colonialists

00:51:27.880 that you know had no ancestral rights to the land i've made that point many times but yes your point

00:51:32.920 is well taken that's why this idea of no no we're just anti-zionism not anti-jew no you're anti-jew you're

00:51:40.600 a jew hater thank you so much for that point lt uh jen maz thank you for your contribution how do we

00:51:47.960 get rid of the parasitic minds in canada help have you been asleep for the past several decades that's all

00:51:55.160 i've been trying to do read the parasitic mind offer it to many other people vote the parasitic in

00:52:04.040 chief justine trudeau out of office when i warned people before 2015 don't let this guy come in he's

00:52:12.520 going to spell disaster he's going to destroy canada it's not because i'm some prophet it's not because i i

00:52:19.240 am an oracle that can read the future because you just have to listen to him not be swayed by his

00:52:25.240 beautiful hair not be swayed by the fact that he's tall or thin but listen to his words and once you

00:52:32.600 listen to those words you know that you are dealing with a smug narcissistic parasitic maniac who's

00:52:41.400 vacuous filled with platitudes who who just apes every progressive parasitic idea pathogen that i

00:52:50.200 cover in my book so the way you get rid of this is you get rid of the liberal party you vote properly

00:52:57.240 in the election most people say oh but i'm a liberal person therefore i vote liberal not knowing that every

00:53:04.040 tenet of the liberal party is the definition of illiberalism but but bruh it says liberal in the

00:53:11.960 name of the party right i believe in democracy that's why i vote democrat even though the democrats

00:53:19.000 were historically in the united states by far the more racist uh party kkk democrats but no i'm a

00:53:27.880 democrat i love democracy republicans are all even evil nazis so that's how you get rid of the parasitic

00:53:34.680 minds in canada all right let's move on who else we got oh so many amazing questions but questions have

00:53:44.200 to come oh 60 mere is 13 okay that's nice that's still nice donated 99 cents canadian okay thank you but

00:53:53.800 i didn't see the donation okay jeremy gordon thank you so much for your uh donation one guidance for my 15

00:54:02.680 year old son holy moly it's like can you answer what is life in less than a hundred characters

00:54:13.800 i don't know what one guidance for your son is i mean it depends on what uh

00:54:22.840 always grow always learn uh the reason why i can turn on this x spaces and have thousands of people

00:54:30.920 come and turn on this youtube stream is because i read a lot in my life because i developed

00:54:38.520 the content that goes in this brain so that people would say hey i want to spend my time listening to

00:54:46.840 this guy now it sounds like a cliche but knowledge is power i'm not saying that your 15 year old son

00:54:52.360 should become a professor and a whatever an author but every moment that you spend reading and learning

00:55:00.840 is a moment that you've existentially won so your 15 year old son should spend his or his time doing

00:55:08.280 two things training his mind training his body the rest are details and of course be a good person and so

00:55:15.640 on but read read read i am surrounded right here i'm looking everywhere in my i have a million books

00:55:22.600 everywhere many of which i've yet to read it gives me great anxiety because i'm thinking you know if i read 50

00:55:30.280 books a year am i going to be able to get through all the books in my personal library so my advice

00:55:34.840 to your son more than anything yes gpa is important getting good grades is important most important

00:55:42.920 have tons of knowledge read everything read voraciously read like your life depends on it and

00:55:50.440 if you start with that good things will happen best of luck to your son thank you mr gordon let's move

00:55:56.200 on keep keep those donations and great questions coming rod rodzilla 5332 thank you for a donation i

00:56:04.040 believe there's no such thing as islamism or islamist there's only islam do you agree come on man wake up

00:56:11.720 there's a whole clip that's gone viral all over the internet just enter gadsad islamism versus islam

00:56:21.480 and i actually i posted it on my youtube channel about a month ago you're exactly right there is

00:56:28.120 no islamism islamism is an inherent part of islam islam consists of politics and spirituality 90 of

00:56:38.200 islam is political islam hence islamism smaller part much smaller part is spiritual so there is no

00:56:45.960 no disentangling islamism does not exist outside of islam islamism is islam so yes i agree

00:56:55.000 get caught up focus i've already covered all this thank you rodzilla 5332 all right who else we got

00:57:01.560 keep them coming sam beer thank you so much for your contribution in a world where the concept of

00:57:07.400 freedom varies greatly you stand tall as an example of the just just just juxtaposition of liberty and

00:57:17.720 your delicious sense of humor makes you an awesome human being thank you what lovely words what lovely

00:57:23.160 words thank you so much you know we we often forget our our brains are made to look at negative

00:57:31.800 information more than positive information so and and there are evolutionary reasons for what's called

00:57:37.640 the negativity bias okay uh i've actually have written a paper in evolution and human behavior with

00:57:44.520 one of my former doctoral students where we look at the negativity bias in the context of mate choice but

00:57:50.920 in any case the reason why i'm saying all this is because out of a thousand messages that i receive

00:57:56.840 probably 990 are supremely positive kind filled with gratitude filled with love filled with support

00:58:05.960 but what does the brain do it focuses on the 10 people who wrote you hateful stuff who threatened you

00:58:12.280 because again from an evolutionary perspective your brain is hardwired to pay attention more to the

00:58:18.040 negative stuff the dangerous stuff than to the positive stuff and whenever i start succumbing to the

00:58:24.520 negative bias i think back about what i just said to to remind myself that the great majority of people

00:58:31.880 are lovely are kind they appreciate what you do and so thank you so much for your lovely words mr beer

00:58:38.520 i really really appreciate them all right let's move on let's see who else we've got okay hold on let me

00:58:44.840 backtrack sam beer okay i hope i didn't miss anybody else here uh george drinks

00:58:51.960 just a small donation thank you very much i appreciate it uh yo yoan party party deans is that how you

00:59:02.680 pronounce it i'm hope i'm not butchering it uh thank you so much for your contribution for a more local

00:59:07.080 stand what do you suggest we do against post-modernism and hedonism movement we actually see in quebec how can

00:59:12.520 we uh stand it i'm guessing you mean against it uh i mean hedonism and post-modernism are two

00:59:19.960 separate things let me just focus on post-modernism because hedonism can mean many different things i

00:59:26.920 mean hedonism and sexuality is something different than hedonism and other experiences but post-modernism

00:59:33.960 as i explain in the parasitic mind is the grand daddy of idea pathogens because it is the

00:59:43.000 parasitic idea that allows all of the other parasitic ideas to flow because if there's no

00:59:51.000 objective truth then up is down freedom is slavery slavery is freedom men are women nine inch penises

00:59:59.960 are types of vaginas and so on so you need the framework of post-modernism that denies

01:00:07.320 uh an objective reality an objective truth in order to promulgate all your other you know

01:00:13.480 bullshit and so that's why i frontally take on post-modernism it is anti-science it is anti-reason

01:00:21.000 it's anti-logic it's anti-dignity it's grotesque it serves no purpose other than as a form of

01:00:27.480 intellectual terrorism thank you very much yoan for that question let's move on my god what fantastic

01:00:34.360 questions martin prior just a donation thank you so much appreciate it going on going on uh

01:00:43.400 oh furious oh furious is just furious j see a huge of my problem in a montreal

01:00:51.800 don't tell coin or cafe or a jew la chance to rencontre the famous doctor sinon for simply

01:00:57.880 wow what lovely word let me just translate what that means if one day i am uh walking around in

01:01:04.440 montreal in some corner or some cafe will i have the chance to meet the famous doctor if if if if for

01:01:12.360 no other reason than to shake your hand well i hope that we will have that chance uh once in a while i do

01:01:19.320 give public lectures in montreal and whenever i do lecture at the university sometimes people will write

01:01:26.280 to me and say hey can i come and audit your course one time to say hello so there are ways by which we

01:01:31.800 can even organize a meeting if it isn't to just meet me serendipitously and you know it's amazing it's

01:01:38.760 it's so wonderful when you're walking i mean at this point it happens i mean i'm not not trying to brag

01:01:45.080 or anything but it happens you know daily many many times when i'm just walking around and i never tire of

01:01:51.640 it because it's so beautiful right i mean someone comes up to you and says hey i just read your book

01:01:58.600 i love it thank you or hey i love your sense of humor or whatever it's all it's a little hit of

01:02:03.800 positivity and again knock on wood i hope that i never get more than this one time i've only had

01:02:11.160 a single bad interaction in person i've had a million online because people of course are all courageous

01:02:18.840 when they're online and ominous but i've only had one threat when i was walking with my son

01:02:25.560 a year and a half ago and that's the only time that it's ever happened and may it only be

01:02:29.880 the only time so thank you very much for that question i do hope that we we will meet uh i'm seeing

01:02:36.200 here a uh oh okay i i've already done this one hold on a second let me skip this one okay hold on

01:02:44.840 all right i'm going down okay i'm not getting anything more give me more questions i love you

01:02:52.840 that's lovely 100 of judaism is political oh look at this lovely guy 100 of judaism is political really

01:03:00.360 so when you light the shabbat candles on friday nights starting the family gathering that's also

01:03:07.400 political when you're only eating kosher food that's also political don't be a moron okay uh

01:03:16.120 there are 15 million jews in the world there are one point depending on how you counted about 1.5

01:03:23.320 billion 125 muslims to every jew judaism specifically forbids proselytizing meaning it is forbidden in

01:03:33.640 judaism to try to change someone's religion that's why there are fewer jews today than they were at the

01:03:40.280 start of world war ii so judaism poses no threat to anyone not even to palestinians if they're willing

01:03:48.280 to coexist side by side with the jews islam not so much so f off with your bullshit

01:03:54.680 all right let's move on uh we got anybody oh we got w bollinger wow what an incredible

01:04:09.960 top donation so far thank you so much uh for that incredible donation i'm humbled

01:04:18.280 i really truly appreciate it thank you so much and not only that it's a donation

01:04:23.160 without even asking a question so you're not even expecting reciprocity you're saying hey i

01:04:28.280 appreciate you i appreciate what you do here's a little gift for you so thank you so much up cycle

01:04:34.520 club what is your opinion on nasim nikola talib's notion of anti-fragility come on focus i have a whole

01:04:43.080 section in the pairs well in the parasitic mind i talk about anti-fragility i explain how part of

01:04:51.240 developing your critical reasoning ability your critical thinking is that you have to be anti-fragile

01:04:58.200 to opposing ideas so in the parasitic mind i talk about anti-fragility in the happiness book i talk

01:05:05.240 about anti-fragility where i talk about being resilient when you are taking on you know important life goals

01:05:14.040 and about being anti-fragile to failure meaning that you can't simply wilt away because you failed

01:05:21.080 and then i give examples of all of the great people in in in arts in filmmaking in music in soccer in

01:05:29.560 basketball all of the greatest the goats the greatest of all time have all repeatedly failed

01:05:35.480 until they succeeded and they were told that they would fail michael jordan was cut from a sophomore

01:05:39.880 basketball team leonel messi was told he'll never be a professional soccer player he's too small and

01:05:44.360 slight steven spielberg was rejected not once not twice but three times from the usc film school jk

01:05:53.000 riling was rejected by every single publisher until that one publisher that accepted her and on and on and

01:05:58.760 on so anti-fragility is a foundational principle to life and so kudos to nasim but i mean he's hardly the

01:06:08.360 first one to have mentioned that right so for example the the the idea of you know having skin in the

01:06:14.760 game and therefore that's you know a means of achieving anti-fragility or uh squeaky doors don't

01:06:22.200 break that expression that's also anti-fragility right meaning that being exposed to stress stressors

01:06:29.880 makes you stronger i have a great quote from seneca from 2000 years ago that already nailed down the

01:06:37.800 details of anti-fragility 2000 years before nasim so what nasim did is he offered a new term for it

01:06:44.840 which is great and he offered some great new examples which is fantastic but the genesis of that

01:06:50.680 example of that concept has has been known for thousands of years as you should expect because it

01:06:57.080 is a very important concept all right let's go on i love this this is fantastic uh i hope all the people who

01:07:04.280 are in the uh x spaces are also having fun again you can just listen to this listen to the the session

01:07:13.560 if you wish to participate hop on the live stream on my youtube channel be a super chat donor and then we

01:07:21.480 can uh answer your questions all right let's go on uh gad this is george drinks water is it or i don't know what i

01:07:31.080 can't see the end of it i don't know why i can't see that the ending part of the name god i'm 31 should

01:07:36.440 i go back to school to further continue my education or stick to drinking water on youtube i i don't know

01:07:42.200 what that means exactly drinking water on youtube does that mean that you just waste your day watching

01:07:47.240 videos hold on speaking of which let me drink some water

01:07:49.640 all right all right in the happiness book i better see at least 10 20 30 50 of you head off to uh

01:08:07.000 amazon and buy the happiness book it is such a positive book again i i hope it's not gauche to to

01:08:14.520 promote your own work but ultimately as an author you want people to read your stuff uh in the book

01:08:21.400 i have all kinds of very motivating inspiring stories two of which precisely relate to your

01:08:30.200 question george which is i'm i'm 31 am i too old to go back and study i tell two stories i won't give

01:08:36.440 the whole details here please read the book to get the full stories one guy got his began his

01:08:42.840 undergraduate in his 60s his master's in the 70s finished his phd's in his phd in his early 90s

01:08:49.640 year 31 he began his undergrad in his 60s so 30 years from where you are now the other guy who's been

01:08:57.240 on my show was a md medical doctor then picked up a phd in 1967 in biochemistry as part of his training

01:09:05.960 as a hematologist blood doctor and then 33 years later in early 2000 he retired from medicine decided

01:09:14.760 to pursue his first love which was physics and graduated with a phd in physics at 89 did you hear

01:09:21.640 what i just said he was an md in 1955 phd 1967 and then just recently two years ago at the age of 89

01:09:31.960 finished his second phd so it's never too late if you've got listen if you've got to feed four

01:09:39.000 kids and that's your primary responsibility at this point well you got to do what you got to do

01:09:45.000 but if you have the ability and the means to pursue an education and i'm not talking some

01:09:51.560 bullshit woke stuff it could be anything you could study shakespeare seriously you could study

01:09:57.000 uh philosophy of aesthetics seriously you could study neuroscience mathematics physics accounting

01:10:03.720 there are many many things so i'm not an elitist when it comes to what you should study but as long

01:10:08.600 as it is wedded to science to reality to logic to reason uh to evidence-based thinking uh go for it

01:10:18.600 so no don't just sit and drink water and watch youtube although it's important to be hydrated cheers

01:10:25.400 george thank you for your question oh this is just a comment i just saw there's been thousands of

01:10:32.600 comments so i'm sorry the jewish people of montreal and toronto have been my greatest and most loyal

01:10:36.440 friends on planet earth well that's great to hear okay cars in depth thank you for your uh

01:10:43.480 question uh for your donation and here's your question what is the adaptive advantage for jew hating jews

01:10:48.680 uh well there is no well i mean one way to think of it being adaptive is that they think that if they

01:10:57.960 exhibit hatred towards the jews then the crocodile will be the last to eat them right the old expression

01:11:04.280 but i actually frame it within a parasitic framework so uh i've i've done a whole analysis of

01:11:11.720 why self-hating jews exist using a neuroparistological framework i would suggest that you go and read

01:11:19.400 that anna epstein the jew hating jew from boston college or boston university would be a prime example

01:11:26.840 of that all right let's move on we've got uh w bollinger one oh what an incredible donation thank you

01:11:34.920 so much does israeli's empathy with the hostages threaten israel's long-term viability does israeli's

01:11:43.720 strict adherence to shabbat and jewish holidays also create vulnerabilities let me answer the first part

01:11:52.360 if i understand correctly you're saying by being so focused on trying to rescue

01:11:58.200 the hostages and hence the war progressing hence more innocent palestinians dying uh

01:12:08.920 public opinion goes against them that creates uh greater casualty in the

01:12:15.720 arena of public opinion so i'm guessing that's what you're saying look it's a difficult one right but

01:12:20.840 imagine that you are the father of of a young girl who who is you know currently being gang raped in a

01:12:30.040 tunnel by hamas what would be the stopping points where you would tell the israeli government you know

01:12:36.280 what let's let's give up on my daughter i guess it's okay you know eventually she'll just die of the gang

01:12:41.720 rapes uh so i'm not i think that there are some you know deontological principles that says we never

01:12:47.960 leave anybody behind there's a reason for that because that gives you a sense of existential

01:12:53.800 safety knowing that people are always going to come look for you and are never going to forget you

01:12:59.160 so i'm not sure that uh it's certainly not misplaced empathy to want to rescue any remaining hostages

01:13:07.960 your second question does israeli strict adherence to shabbat i mean i'm not sure how strict it is

01:13:13.320 i don't think that you know air force pilots in the israeli air force would not get in a plane if

01:13:21.480 if israel is being attacked because oh it's the sabbath uh so i but i i couldn't comment anymore i think

01:13:29.080 that israel is ultimately a secular state and that yes there might be some you know ultra orthodox jews

01:13:38.520 who adhere to the sabbath to the letter but i don't think that the government is uh so religious

01:13:44.840 that it says oh you know if you attack us on the sabbath well then i guess we'll cease to exist because

01:13:49.000 we would never want to violate the sabbath thank you for your question though and for your fantastic

01:13:54.440 donation let me go back i i always panic because the way it comes out is weird i just want to make

01:14:02.360 sure that i don't miss anybody if i do in any way then uh please send me an email with your question

01:14:10.200 don't don't scam don't cheat but i'm almost certain that i'm going through everybody all right here we go

01:14:16.840 patrick geary just a donation no question thank you so much you're very kind i appreciate it uh anthos 38

01:14:26.360 hello gad appreciate your insights and humor thank you very much although forgive me given the lovely

01:14:33.720 compliment you just made and the donation you gave insights i n s i g h t s the way you wrote insight

01:14:43.800 is to incite someone incite someone to violence different word thank you that's just the professor

01:14:49.800 in me shane zero new zealand dollars oh look at that hi mr sad what's your predictions on the

01:14:57.240 progress of wokism for the next couple of years thanks that's a good one uh because the point is okay

01:15:04.840 so wokism is increasing has it reached an inflection point and is it going down there certainly are small

01:15:12.120 signs of that right so for example crt critical race theory seems to be in retreat

01:15:18.280 uh certainly christopher rufo's dogged activism in this area has been very very helpful uh

01:15:30.840 you know there are other some there are now a growing number of universities that are saying

01:15:35.240 yeah the die stuff diversity inclusion equity i don't by the way say dei in the parasitic mind i re i

01:15:42.200 placed the acronym so it spells die diversity inclusion equity because the die cult kills

01:15:50.360 meritocracy dies because of the die cult it's a cancer okay uh some universities are now removing their

01:15:59.800 required illegal unconstitutional requirements that you pledge allegiance to die principles when you're

01:16:10.840 applying for a job when you're applying for a research grant so there is some evidence that

01:16:16.520 some of the wokism is in retreat but as you know the old adage an animal is most dangerous when it is

01:16:24.600 wounded and so i excuse me i think that the wokesters seeing that they are now starting to lose ground

01:16:30.840 will probably double down on a lot of stuff so i don't think the battle is won yet thank you so much for

01:16:35.640 that great question shane zero by the way spent two weeks in new zealand in 2001 north island south

01:16:44.600 island auckland i spoke at victoria university in wellington went down to um is it mulford sound

01:16:54.600 went to queenstown is it queenstown queen i think it's called queenstown if i'm not if i'm remembering

01:17:00.920 people are jumping everywhere they're jumping off buildings jumping off mountains it's kind of the

01:17:06.120 the adrenaline adrenaline capital of the world uh high risk taking stuff commercial bungee jumping start

01:17:14.760 was started there uh gorgeous country loved it time to go back organize a book tour for me and i'm all over

01:17:24.440 new zealand love it and don't get me started on australia what a gorgeous country okay we're back to

01:17:30.680 furious jay thank you again for your for your card here what movie series can you watch and re-watch

01:17:37.080 a thousand times and never get bored of that's that's the stuff that i love about these impromptu

01:17:45.560 sessions because you don't know what you're going to get hit i just earlier i answered a question about

01:17:50.680 the difference between islam and islamism then i answered a question about the evolutionary roots

01:17:55.240 of asperger's syndrome and now i'm answering a question about my favorite movies or series

01:18:00.360 and i i love it because it you have to think quickly on your feet because the questions are

01:18:06.200 coming at you in from all walks of life in all sorts of areas so i hope i'm doing a good job and keeping

01:18:11.960 you entertained and informed uh here's a movie that it doesn't matter how many times i've seen it

01:18:20.040 if i am cursed in actually having the clicker go over it i'm screwed forgetting sarah marshall

01:18:30.840 forgetting sarah marshall i can't i i get caught in an ethology uh you talk about fixed action pattern

01:18:39.480 fixed action pattern is an instinct which once it is released it has to you have to see it through to

01:18:45.880 its end right uh once i see sarah forgetting sarah marshall i'm in another such movie

01:18:56.200 training day training day 2001 ethan hawk uh denzel washington unbelievable another movie the wedding

01:19:08.520 singer adam sandler and uh drew barrymore i can't i can't stop it

01:19:15.880 and another movie that's no longer appearing much but is actually one of my favorite movies of all

01:19:20.280 time even though the actress with uh moonstruck by would share 1987 unbelievable movie with nicholas

01:19:29.240 cage if you haven't seen it do it so those are probably some of the movies that once i see them

01:19:33.640 good fellows good fellows comes on i'm screwed there goes three hours i can't i can't turn it off

01:19:39.640 so those would probably will be the first ones that come to mind what a great question thank you

01:19:44.120 for asking uh which series uh i rediscovered some series through the eyes of my children so for many

01:19:52.360 years whenever king of queens would come on we would watch it with the kids three's company

01:19:59.400 a show from my childhood kids rediscovered it we would sit and re-watch it uh

01:20:04.840 uh seinfeld is one that whenever there's nothing else you just watch seinfeld even though you've

01:20:11.240 seen every episode 9 800 times phenomenal question there you go okay thank you very much furious jay

01:20:18.840 let's move on david schneider oh my god the record today tied for the record actually i don't know if

01:20:26.360 you were the original gentleman who or who set the original record and if so that means you've given two

01:20:32.120 huge donations thank you so much surgeon here in colorado we need you to come lecture here in

01:20:37.640 denver my wife and i love the parasitic mind i'm eager to read your next book i'm fascinated by suicidal

01:20:43.240 empathy among some of my family members it's insane by the way i don't know if i should say i i guess

01:20:49.400 i've mentioned this i've already received the two very uh alluring offers book advances for suicidal

01:20:58.600 empathy i haven't yet signed the deal i'm waiting for some other things to develop and i've also

01:21:04.440 received an offer for another book the parasitic state and so one of the things i'm thinking about

01:21:10.440 is which book to accept first i think it's going to be suicidal empathy it seems more immediate

01:21:16.360 immediately relevant and timely and so by the way i was supposed to go speak in denver actually i was

01:21:23.160 invited to three different places well i should say dr schneider because you are a surgeon by the way

01:21:30.040 do you know that in in scotland you become a physician right doctor you become a surgeon you

01:21:40.600 revert back to mister look it up if you don't know that it's unbelievable it's a very very cool old

01:21:46.600 tradition in any case dr schneider number one i was supposed to speak at university of colorado at

01:21:55.080 boulder or at least they reached out to me to ask about my availability and so on i was supposed to

01:22:00.440 speak at this uh i don't know if it's a think tank or whatever in denver but they want me to go there pro

01:22:06.840 bono yeah sure sure because when you go oh you're a surgeon hey can you practice surgery and you know

01:22:15.080 please don't don't pay don't expect that people should pay you because you're just a kind surgeon

01:22:21.320 so there shouldn't be any payment so i'll fly out to denver i'll give a talk to a whole bunch of

01:22:28.440 government officials and it will just be for free because you know i have really pretty green eyes

01:22:34.360 that's one of the things that pisses me off so much i get all kinds of requests you know but somehow

01:22:40.200 i'm just the professor of the people so my time my expertise they don't matter they they shouldn't

01:22:46.520 be monetized and so i got invited to denver and i got invited to also speak the summer in aspen

01:22:54.120 but in frankly in all those cases i think the reason why it's not happening is because of monetary issues

01:22:59.320 and i did speak in at the steamboat institute in january one of the other illustrious well there

01:23:07.080 were several other illustrious guests including secretary mike pompeo the former secretary of

01:23:12.600 state imagine i'm sitting at a party at a reception and here comes secretary pompeo hello professor saad

01:23:21.000 i just want to introduce myself i'm a big fan it's unbelievable it's unreal it's magical but it shows

01:23:28.440 you what happens when you get out there you put your ideas out there yes it can be uh difficult because

01:23:35.000 you get a lot of hate but people that matter will pay attention and believe me you can't believe the

01:23:41.160 kinds of people that i've met in my journey uh so anyways i spoke at the steamboat institute dennis

01:23:46.520 sprager was also there so i love colorado actually in the non-beachy uh states so of course california

01:23:57.160 forget about the walk stuff in california i we lived in southern california we lived in newport

01:24:01.240 beach had family there for 40 years so it's like a second home to me i love the beach florida has the

01:24:07.400 beach of course you know other places have beaches uh so i'm partial to that but of non

01:24:15.720 you know let's call it landlocked states i love colorado i would love to live in colorado so dr schneider

01:24:23.480 get a group of your wealthy donors together invite the glorious professor dr gatzad and i'm there

01:24:29.960 thank you so much by the way i'd be curious to know what kind of surgeon you are but i don't want you to

01:24:37.800 donate against in order to be able to answer that so you can just try to write it and i'll see if i can

01:24:42.280 see it so thank you dr schneider i appreciate your very generous offer rinsler uh thank you for your

01:24:48.520 donation hi doc thank you for all your work my brother overdosed without oxygen for a long time

01:24:55.800 my parents took him off event eight days later breathing on his own how do i cope with their

01:25:02.520 decision on putting him on hospice care oh my god boy that's first of all i'm uh infinitely sorry to hear

01:25:11.800 that i don't know i mean anything that i think i'm going to say now off the top of my head is going to

01:25:17.960 sound uh uh weak all i can say is that uh life is tough he lives on in your heart and in your mind

01:25:30.920 maybe this story will be helpful to you or maybe not i don't know one of the greatest guests that i've

01:25:36.440 ever had on my show his name is david mccallum i actually discussed this in the happiness book uh

01:25:43.720 uh he came on my show he was convicted of a murder at the age of 17 spent 29 years in prison

01:25:53.800 until his you know he was like 46 i think if i got my math right and then he was exonerated

01:26:01.240 released from prison so he spent almost three decades in prison lost half his life and

01:26:06.600 he comes on my show and we're chatting and i say to him david you must be buddha because

01:26:16.200 you're not exhibiting any vindictiveness any sense of revenge any anger you're a much better man than

01:26:21.960 i am because if i were in your shoes i talk about this by the way in the happiness book

01:26:27.160 to talk about gratitude and you'll see in a second i'm going to link it to your brother

01:26:30.760 if i were in your shoes i'd want to burn the world down i would be so filled with rancor at

01:26:37.960 the injustice that had been done to me at the stolen decades that were taken for my life that i'm not

01:26:43.160 sure i could move on how do you do it and so he paused and he said you know i have a daughter not a

01:26:49.800 daughter i have a sister who has been bedridden with cerebral palsy for a long time in her life

01:26:56.360 life and yet she smiles and if she can smile given what she's going through then you know i didn't have

01:27:04.360 it so bad so i'm thinking there what a mindset here's a guy who has every reason to hate the world

01:27:13.640 every reason to hate the injustice that was met out to him every reason to be filled with venom and

01:27:22.360 rancor right and yet he says you know what here's someone who's got it worse than me and then he uses

01:27:29.160 that to elevate himself and so what i would urge you to do is try to find a similar mechanism that

01:27:36.520 allows you to say yes this was tragic this is horrifying this is impossible to forget but let me

01:27:42.520 see if i can find a way to elevate myself by using some of these mindset uh i don't want to say tricks

01:27:50.360 but you know ploys if you want so my thoughts are with you thank you for sharing and uh i hope that uh

01:27:58.280 you find peace moving on sorry to say moving on i'm i'm really sorry i don't want to sound callous

01:28:05.000 uh okay here we go hold on guys they're still coming in this is fantastic i'm loving this

01:28:12.040 okay hold on a sec hold on a sec okay that was that was uh rinsler moving on from rinsler we come to

01:28:22.200 srinivasarau and then i don't see the second name i am hindu heathen pagan what do you suggest i do in

01:28:29.400 response to heathen hater caller who asked about me convergent conversion equal cultural genocide

01:28:37.960 question mark please forgive me thank you for your donation i have no idea what you just asked i am

01:28:44.680 hindu heathen pagan what do you suggest i do in response to heathen hater caller who asked about

01:28:50.040 me what is that what does that mean you mean somebody who hates the fact that you are whatever religion

01:28:55.000 you are go like this do you know how many emails of and messages of hate i get jew you're a jew you're

01:29:04.200 vermin you're a rat you're a parasite you destroy societies you're a baby killer you're a zionist

01:29:11.000 nazi you're a pig you're a child killer uh you're poison you're venom you should be eradicated hitler

01:29:20.600 was right i get that all day long people are ugly what are you going to do so my answer to you is who

01:29:26.360 gives a shit what this person thinks of you move on life is short every moment is precious all right

01:29:33.400 next john michael jones i think is back thank you for your contribution islamism is a bs distinction

01:29:40.280 however is there pragmatic distinction between evil sympathizers members of criminal organizations

01:29:46.520 and mass murders i worry generalizations impedes our ability to hunt psychos it's a very general

01:29:53.240 question but yes i agree that islamism is a bs distinction as relating to islam as i said islamism

01:30:01.000 is an inherent part of islam are there pragmatic distinctions between evil sympathizers members of

01:30:06.680 criminal and mass murders i mean yes there are pragmatic distinctions they actually

01:30:13.080 capture different phenomena a mass murderer is someone who goes to a single place and kills many

01:30:20.200 people in one shot not to be confused with a serial killer a serial killer is one that kills multiple

01:30:27.400 people in temporally distinct periods right in time t1 he kills someone three months later he kills

01:30:34.680 someone else four months later he kills another person i think you need to have killed three people

01:30:40.200 to be a serial killer if i'm not mistaken i don't think it's two i think it's three that's to be this

01:30:44.360 distinguished from a mass murderer where you know you go and you shoot up a postal office and you kill 18

01:30:51.800 people it was a single incident but you committed mass murder that's to be distinguished from criminal

01:30:59.720 members of criminal organizations yes mafia members might be bad guys who engage in pimping and in but

01:31:08.280 they're not killers so i yes of course there are distinctions between these and no one presumes that

01:31:14.200 they are interchangeable but thank you very much for your donation and for your question erica e lee

01:31:21.320 thank you for your donation do you call anyone in your life habibi who is it can you say a sentence

01:31:27.320 with habibi in arabic and translate it in english oh i love that okay what habibi habibi means my love

01:31:34.600 to a male now arabic is a now if i were saying it to a woman it would be habibti because arabic has

01:31:43.640 gender accord and yes it assumes there are two genders you know i guess arabic is transphobic just like

01:31:50.200 french is transphobic uh but armenian that which doesn't have gender accord apparently is non-transphobic

01:31:56.600 because it doesn't recognize genders uh but in arabic we do habibi means my love to a boy to a

01:32:03.720 a guy it means habibti is to a girl do i say it to people i do when i so whenever you're engaging

01:32:13.560 arabic is a very flowery language uh where you say all kinds of niceties in all sorts of mundane

01:32:23.480 social settings so for example if if i go to a grocery store oh i see there are still tons of

01:32:29.160 people here on the x spaces thank you for staying with us again you want to ask questions join us on

01:32:34.760 the youtube uh channel uh let's say i go to a grocery store an arabic grocery store the guy might look at

01:32:43.800 me if he's if he's arabic and say oh what can i get for you my my heart now that's not a it's not he's

01:32:51.800 not uh it's not a homoerotic thing he's not hitting on me right i could be clearly with my wife and kids

01:32:58.760 so it's not as though he's hitting on me but it's a way it's a flowery way of speaking and so i might

01:33:05.160 answer uh you know what my love habibi uh you know give me a shawarma sandwich and a shish tawooks right so

01:33:13.640 usually when i use the term habibi it's either on social media where someone says something nice to me

01:33:19.240 and i might answer you know shukran habibi thank you my love to a man clearly a man who just let's

01:33:25.240 say complimented me uh i don't use it at home i mean in my uh i in my home of my parents i would

01:33:35.080 because we all speak arabic but in my home with my wife and kids uh i don't use it so usually it'll be

01:33:41.320 in mundane social settings where i am interacting with uh uh you know a male say service provider

01:33:49.880 what would be an example of how i would say uh a sentence in arabic uh

01:33:59.320 ma twachizni ya habibi ta'atini sandwish shish tawook excuse me my love can you please give me a

01:34:06.840 sandwich sandwich of shish tawook okay so that would be an example of that thank you very much

01:34:13.000 erica lee what a great question uh lucius lucius lucius or not lucius lucius i guess thank you for

01:34:20.120 your contribution the a i'm guessing is australian dollar oh look we've got new zealand dollar and

01:34:26.120 now we've oh yeah it is australia because it's in the question hi smiley face can you and jordan peterson

01:34:31.480 come tour australia and help wake up the masses to the tyranny we are stepping by into a similar

01:34:37.160 situation to canada uh as i mentioned earlier to the gentleman from uh new zealand i would love

01:34:43.160 nothing more than to come on an extended tour to australia i love australia really i actually my

01:34:48.920 wife and i thought even before we had kids whether we should move to australia because we both love the

01:34:53.560 beach melbourne sydney brisbane we've done it all cairns adelaide kangaroo island we've done it

01:35:01.320 at all i mean we didn't go to the west coast we didn't go to perth which i regret i wish we had

01:35:05.800 time to go there uh i would love to come on a book tour or a speaking tour with or without jordan

01:35:13.080 although i think it would be fun to come with jordan uh you are right that australia is getting

01:35:18.440 wokefied very quickly i have appeared on several shows in australia oftentimes on sky news australia

01:35:25.080 uh i have a good friend uh ritab uh bahani uh who is also been a guest on my show she's a uh news

01:35:36.840 anchor out of australia of iranian descent she's invited me a few times other other australian

01:35:42.280 anchors have invited me so i have tried certainly to appear on australian media platforms whenever i've

01:35:49.480 been invited but yes i would love nothing more than to come and regrettably i would have been

01:35:55.160 great to come now because i'm currently on sabbatical leave but my sabbatical leave will

01:36:00.360 end the summer it's much easier to travel to australia when you're on sabbatical leave because

01:36:04.760 you're not restricted by you know teaching and administrative duties uh but in any case

01:36:12.280 organize the book tour the speaker tour and no i'm not going to come for free and i'd be happy to come

01:36:18.840 uh so nice to see still so many people in the uh both here in this stream and also on x spaces let

01:36:28.600 me go on who else do we have let me go on oh we got patrick geary thank you so much for your

01:36:36.760 contribution god my son was curious as to your complete takedown of post-modernism when according

01:36:42.280 to him it all is rooted in the end of modernism with individual individual individualism like hume and

01:36:50.280 kant i'm not sure what the question is here uh if he's interested more in my uh i'm guessing from the

01:37:01.880 gist of your question it sounds as though your son is saying oh but it's it's it's not such a nefarious

01:37:07.240 thing it's just what happens post-modernism well i mean yes in the strict sense of the term

01:37:14.200 post-modernism is that which comes after modernism but post-modernism has a very specific set of

01:37:22.040 tenets one of which is that there are no absolute truths it could be applied in analyzing music it could

01:37:28.760 be applied in analyzing aesthetics but in epistemology it's a very dangerous movement hence why i call it

01:37:36.200 intellectual terrorism because uh you don't need to be a fancy scientist to recognize that

01:37:43.000 it gets you nowhere to say that there are no universal truths because that is the definition

01:37:47.720 of anti-science if there are no objective truths to be discovered then there's no point in getting

01:37:53.960 out of bed if you're an academic so there you go thank you very much for your question patrick

01:37:58.520 martin prior just a donation thank you so much bang tango thank you for your uh contribution your

01:38:08.760 donation tell us about rat utopia experiment behavioral sync and parallels to the woke parasite mind virus

01:38:18.280 i don't know what that is i don't i'm not sure i i think i saw it recently somewhere else i don't

01:38:23.480 know what the rat utopia experiment behavioral sync is and therefore i'm not exactly sure how to draw

01:38:30.760 the link to the woke parasite parasitic mind virus let's go on don dan cosma r-o-n that's the currency i

01:38:41.480 don't know what that is i hope it's it's something big because the number seems big but it could either

01:38:46.840 be big or it could be five cents who knows the western university system and its staff selection

01:38:52.760 methods are always praised why did it then become so woke asking from somewhere in the in eastern europe

01:39:00.600 the western and staff selection are always praised no they're not always praised i don't know where

01:39:06.120 you're getting that from uh the selection process in academia is one whereby you better never exhibit

01:39:16.760 any hints of a political orientation that's anything other than super progressive and liberal and if

01:39:23.720 you do then you're not going to get a job uh and so i'm not sure why you i mean you'd like to think that

01:39:34.040 academic selections are based on the uh strength of a person's academic merit and to some extent that was

01:39:43.800 true for a long time as long as you didn't express political opinions that were contrary to what was

01:39:52.200 expected of you as an academic and so uh the only reason why you didn't see it so much 15 20 30 years ago

01:40:01.240 is because it took many years for all of these parasitic ideas to take root in academia before their confluence

01:40:10.760 led to a tipping point of insanity i talk about all this in the parasitic mind i highly recommend that

01:40:17.800 you read it if you haven't done so thank you so much for your uh donation rob a thank you for your

01:40:23.640 donation i'm lebanese and i appreciate you and take pride in you even when i don't agree with you mike

01:40:30.440 okay well you know that's that's life you don't have to agree with me uh my question is what is your

01:40:37.240 favorite food from the old country oh my god now we're getting somewhere now we're getting into the

01:40:44.360 most important topic my stomach uh very very tough to say what's my favorite food because most westerners

01:40:53.960 know kind of western lebanese food right uh hummus fattoosh uh you know shawarma right but of course

01:41:04.360 arabic lebanese food is much much broader by the way my mother is is truly the greatest

01:41:12.920 cook you will ever meet she should have been a lebanese chef i mean there are many people that i've

01:41:19.640 you know met in in my lebanese upbringing that are great cooks no one comes even close to my mother

01:41:25.880 so i'm going to mention dishes that you may know because you're lebanese but some of our listeners and

01:41:30.520 viewers may not i love mugrabiya uh i love mlukhiya which actually is a dish that my wife explained how

01:41:40.120 to cook on her youtube channel called food satisfaction s-a-a-d faction uh it was a youtube channel that was

01:41:50.920 starting to really take off uh and then she decided oh i don't want to do it anymore i hope that i can

01:41:57.000 convince her to go back to it she did i think 10 episodes got a i think a couple of thousand

01:42:02.360 subscribers and you know many thousands of views and it was really going well i thought you know hey

01:42:08.600 she might become more popular than i am and then she decided she doesn't want to do it she didn't like

01:42:13.800 the invasion of privacy even though you you never saw her face i'm i'm very careful to never put my

01:42:20.840 family in the public eye this is my life it's not theirs and so i'm very protective of their privacy

01:42:27.880 uh so mugrabiya mlukhiya i love kibbenaya which is uh a raw meat that has uh burghul in it uh

01:42:39.560 you can eat it with paprika and olive oil there are many many dishes but those are those are the top

01:42:44.360 three that that come to mind thank you very much rob for your question uh and as many of you know i am

01:42:51.320 married to a lebanese woman so uh and she is a great cook not quite as good as my mother but

01:42:59.720 second best of all time some of you who follow me on social media you see the dishes that she prepares

01:43:05.160 it's insane it's unbelievable i don't know how i've stayed thin with all of her crazy cooking

01:43:09.400 all right here we go let's keep going do we have anybody else oh yes we do oh we got

01:43:17.240 a lot more hold on i i panic thinking that i might have missed somebody hold on hold on hold on hold on

01:43:22.760 hold on hold on hold on stay with me i'm lebanese okay we did that one now we're coming to

01:43:30.360 noah c thank you for your donation you love to critique some aspects of islam but why do you never

01:43:36.680 mention mo's girl aisha and the other disgusting beliefs they they have jesus loves you uh i guess

01:43:44.840 you're referring to the fact that uh mo married aisha when she was six years old and consummated the

01:43:51.240 marriage when she was nine i'll leave it at that people can decide for themselves what they think of

01:43:57.160 that uh george kamajian oh we got an armenian on our hands now the reason why i'm saying that

01:44:05.640 that's because my wife is lebanese armenian uh all right mr kamajian good evening dr sad regarding

01:44:13.000 everything being insane and escalating how bad did you think the backlash is going to be from the right

01:44:17.640 and how long do you think it'll last before things settle down asking for a friend uh well it depends

01:44:23.880 what you mean by the backlash from the right for example you could be referring specifically to the

01:44:29.480 uh politicization of the justice system and the attack on donald trump now that itself could involve

01:44:38.280 a backlash where when they get to power they start uh you know weaponizing the justice system against

01:44:45.320 their political enemies uh i think is historically the way that the republicans have viewed this is well

01:44:52.680 you know we're going to win and we're going to win not ugly we're going to win honorably we won't sink to

01:44:58.760 their levels and megan kelly recently said oh no no no i want the republicans to use the exact same

01:45:05.880 dirty nasty tactics so that the democrats can learn so uh and i understand that position i understand that

01:45:15.320 there is the oh no we we're you know two wrongs don't make a right but i can also understand that

01:45:20.920 when you have a child who's constantly doing wrong sometimes you've got to do a little smack for them to

01:45:27.240 learn and maybe the democrats need to be smacked so i'm not sure how uh vicious the backlash should be

01:45:35.160 but uh i wouldn't be surprised that uh maybe they've now learned their lesson they meaning that

01:45:40.600 the republicans and they will use the same ugly tactics that the democrats have been using it's not

01:45:46.440 good thank you very much mr kamajian for your contribution uh moving on fantastic questions guys

01:45:56.440 uh

01:46:00.920 what

01:46:01.880 god ducked a rat question i i don't know what that means

01:46:06.120 okay if i'm nose i can tell you are a jewish are you against zionism or not

01:46:11.160 oh yes yes you could tell from my nose that i have horns you're you're a good one johannes okay

01:46:19.080 let's keep going lebanese food has no peril that is true i love kebe that is true jews are the best

01:46:24.840 foodies that is true susan gotardi all right thank you for your contribution wonderful enriching q a sir

01:46:31.640 if you had a magic wand what would be your single wish for our current time oh my god

01:46:41.000 it would be to eradicate all of the parasitic ideas that have taken our beautiful western tradition

01:46:52.440 and turned it into a cis pool of

01:46:56.440 shit right uh it would be recognizing that all immigrants are not equal and letting immigrants

01:47:03.800 who don't share your foundational values will result in the death of your society so if i had a magic wand

01:47:11.560 i would wave that wand in such a way that we would return to a world where all immigrants who come to

01:47:20.440 the west and navigate in the west would say oh i i realize now that i'm in the west that freedom of

01:47:27.320 speech is is defended where uh jews can feel safe on campus where uh freedom of inquiry is fully defended

01:47:38.840 where men with nine inch nine inch penises can't take showers with your eight-year-old daughter because

01:47:46.680 earlier that day they called themselves linda and by calling themselves linda their nine inch penises

01:47:53.880 become vaginas so i mean that's why i wrote the parasitic mind right that was my magic wand to use

01:48:01.720 your terminology to try to push back against the insanity so that's what i would look for i want to be able to

01:48:08.200 feel safe in the west i want to feel as if i'm in a western place i'm not in raqqa syria i'm not in

01:48:14.680 yemen i'm not in pakistan right i don't want niqabs everywhere i don't want hijabs everywhere

01:48:22.920 why because i didn't sign up to live in an islamic country more power to islamic society is wonderful

01:48:28.920 great but i i didn't sign up for that if i'm in denmark or sweden or france or or england or now

01:48:37.160 certainly canada certainly montreal so there are many many things that have gone awry in the west

01:48:45.320 and if i had a magic wand i would reverse these thank you very much for your question

01:48:51.400 miss gothardy let's move on free speech mom thank you for your contribution can i convince you and

01:48:58.040 your lovely family to move to the u.s lecture at the university of austin how to prepare my 14 year

01:49:03.320 old boys for higher education well thank you well i'll simply say that i've been in discussion with some

01:49:09.080 people in austin texas not university of austin although i did meet the president of university

01:49:16.760 of austin two years ago when i gave a couple of lectures at university of texas austin ut austin

01:49:22.840 uh there are some austin links that are being discussed so let's see as we say inshallah cheers

01:49:32.920 thank you very much free speech mom what else we got hold on a sec i don't want to miss anybody

01:49:40.440 i'm just scrolling here can i convince you okay we're going on george kamajian is back

01:49:47.960 oh great thank you very much for your second donation regarding my first question i meant

01:49:52.600 globally with the insane leftism consuming and chewing up civilization with no brakes on it from

01:49:58.840 their own side uh well i mean as i just mentioned in the other question the magic wand magic wand

01:50:06.680 question the reason why i do all that i do is because i'm trying to fight back against all these crazy

01:50:15.480 ideas but it takes more than one person it takes i mean how many academics have been one hundredth as

01:50:23.320 outspoken against all this nonsense as i have uh even politicians never speak out even when they're

01:50:29.560 republican even when they hate this now there's starting to be some pushback to to an earlier

01:50:34.280 question that asked me if we had reached peak wokeism or whether it was going to get worse and i said well

01:50:39.480 we are starting to see some improvements i do think that we are starting to see some uh pushback

01:50:45.720 but it needs to be much much more forceful the silent majority needs to speak out right that the

01:50:54.200 maniacs need to be marginalized on the side of the debate right so rather than them screaming the

01:51:02.440 loudest and taking up the most oxygen everywhere they have to be told in no uncertain terms that your

01:51:10.120 views your fascism your authoritarianism your anti-science your anti-liberty

01:51:15.720 uh views your anti-logic your right uh your anti-common-sense views are not welcome here now

01:51:25.080 i don't mean that that you have to be violent against them but that means that you all have

01:51:29.880 your say in the debate the problem is that 99 of the silent majority are exactly that silent so even

01:51:37.640 though we've got the numbers on our side people don't speak out so it's not just about politicians

01:51:42.200 fighting back it's about everybody fighting back it's about in every possible way whether you're

01:51:48.760 going to a parent teacher meeting whether you're going to a school uh uh what what do you call those

01:51:56.120 those school meetings uh whether you're uh a donor that's deciding whether to give your hard-earned money

01:52:02.520 to your alma mater there's a million ways by which your displeasure at many of these parasitic ideas can be

01:52:09.800 shared so get off the couch stop being a coward and speak out thank you very much mr kamajian let me

01:52:18.600 go on to the next question okay we're almost at two hours this is fantastic we still have several

01:52:24.120 hundred people here uh all right let me go on is there anybody else

01:52:30.360 crunch the grace hopper a very small donation but every small bit helps no question asked thank you

01:52:41.720 very much let me see if i've got anybody else uh yes we do oh here we go monval sgd i won't say what the

01:52:53.000 amount is i don't know what sgd is hey god you're a brilliant man thank you i have a stupid and

01:52:58.760 childish question for you i don't think it's going to be stupid because i see the word john van newman

01:53:04.760 thoughts on john van newman and whether or not he was smarter than da vinci newman was also a polymath

01:53:11.080 thanks that is hardly a stupid and childish question are you kidding me that's a fantastic question

01:53:17.320 so no don't don't say that john van newman phenomenal i can show you here i've got two

01:53:25.800 biographies on him one that i recently purchased and one that i had read many years ago john van

01:53:31.160 newman was jewish oops sorry i didn't mean to be a jewish supremacist and saying that he got his phd i

01:53:39.560 think at 23 one of the greatest polymaths as you said made contributions in many fields was a

01:53:46.680 mathematician and game theorist although he contributed in many disciplines uh of course

01:53:53.720 da vinci is my go-to guy when it comes to being a polymath i mean he literally is the renaissance man

01:54:01.320 in that in the sense of him being a polymath but also in the sense of being from the renaissance he is

01:54:07.880 the guy that i always say that if i could be hanging out with one guy i would choose da vinci precisely

01:54:14.120 because he was the ultimate polymath i can't say whether you know john van newman or da vinci who

01:54:22.600 was smarter i mean da vinci was great in a broader range of fields so van newman was phenomenal in

01:54:32.040 many disciplines but they're all academic disciplines whereas da vinci was a great artist and painter and

01:54:39.880 anatomist and futurist and engineer and i just finished a book a few months ago uh on da vinci a

01:54:47.800 biography by michael white called first scientist because even though he's not uh typically recognized

01:54:54.440 as a scientist he he was doing uh observations of the world to better understand it for his art for his

01:55:01.560 designs for his engineering so uh in that sense he was a greater polymath because his his areas of

01:55:09.080 excellence spawned a broader range of areas of human excellence but they're both fantastic uh yeah so

01:55:17.160 definitely not a stupid or childish question love them both all right let's see if we got anything else

01:55:23.240 did i miss anybody i don't think so i think i've covered everybody okay and we don't have any more questions so

01:55:31.480 unless i hear anybody else come up with a question uh i'll i'll just read to give somebody a chance i

01:55:40.840 loved italy keep learning don't box yourself in uh vinci was great inventor the lathe alone was an incredible

01:55:51.400 contribution okay oh by the way he also did contributions in architecture all right guys if

01:55:57.880 there are no more questions i hope i haven't uh missed anyone thank you so much going once going twice

01:56:09.960 okay guys thank you so much i will try to have these more often i will close the stream i will close the

01:56:17.160 x spaces and i thank everybody who showed up and uh many thanks for all the people who donated very

01:56:25.720 generously both their money their time and their questions cheers everybody take care ciao
