00:03:57.640 thank you very much guys uh okay as i as i wait for specific questions because i want to i want to

00:04:01.860 make sure to answer anybody's question who who is a super chat donor uh this wednesday i've got uh

00:04:11.060 who do i have i've got josh hammer who wrote a book uh on israel and its role in you know the western

00:04:18.220 civilization he's coming on uh this week i also have uh dennis uh i think it's neal it's k-n-e-a-l-e

00:04:28.220 or maybe dennis kneel he wrote a book where is it this one he wrote this book the leadership genius

00:04:35.800 of elon musk he's coming on the show on thursday i think or maybe friday and next monday i've got

00:04:43.520 uh douglas murray on the show so that's going to be uh fun okay we've got our first paid question

00:04:51.640 thank you to the three others who donated uh small amounts i really appreciate it uh this is

00:04:57.280 random commentaroni uh will harvard give in to trump that's a great question uh so as you know

00:05:06.540 even private universities but who do receive uh federal funding uh you know are beholden in some

00:05:14.880 sense uh if you're a state school it it slightly changes the dynamics in canada by the way you don't

00:05:20.740 have really a distinction between private and public universities everything is we're a communist

00:05:26.700 socialist uh utopia so everything is funded by the government but in the u.s harvard or cornell

00:05:33.700 you know or duke are going to be private universities whereas you know university of florida and university

00:05:38.700 of michigan are public universities now harvard has i think a 55 billion dollar endowment if i'm not

00:05:46.420 mistaken i remember when i went i came very close to getting uh my first professorship out of cornell

00:05:52.680 at the harvard business school at the time just the business school had an endowment of over a billion

00:05:58.500 dollars and so now the question is are they going to cave in to uh you know some of the requirements

00:06:06.380 that uh trump's administration saying look you can't have orgiastic jew hatred where jews are afraid

00:06:12.240 to go on campus and so on colombia caved and then all the professors came out and said oh no trump is

00:06:17.880 ruling us no he's just trying to make sure that you know people's fundamental constitutional rights are

00:06:23.800 protected i should be able to go to university without having to navigate through 700 hamas protesters

00:06:30.940 so i'm not sure if they will cave in or not i suspect that they will because when there is money

00:06:37.760 there's caving so we'll see thank you for that question uh then we move on to uh oh thank you

00:06:46.200 daniel legon no question just okay lamb lamb not will poiliev win the election i don't know the poly

00:06:54.260 is a poly market is that what it's called the the betting thing is putting carny in the lead which

00:06:59.720 is really astounding i think poiliev had at one point a 30 something point lead 40 point lead i mean it

00:07:05.680 was really almost impossible to conceive of how he would lose given justin trudeau's nine years in

00:07:11.740 office but i'm not exactly sure what koiliev is doing i mean i do hope that he'll win he certainly

00:07:17.900 is a much better option than the other guy who just came out of nowhere i mean really it's kind of like

00:07:22.600 a parachuted coronation we've never heard of this guy you don't you know he's he's never served

00:07:28.540 any political office in terms of you know an elected office he hasn't lived in canada he's got

00:07:34.400 all kinds of you know financial alleged shenanigan things going on uh so i'm not sure i i know that

00:07:42.780 you know i've reached out to pierre pierre uh texted me a couple of weeks ago and i suggested some

00:07:49.680 dates for him to come on the show and i never heard back from him i i hope that he goes on some

00:07:54.260 uh you know relevant shows uh to get his name out there uh he certainly would have a hospitable and

00:08:02.060 friendly host in me in that you know i would just ask him questions about the platform and so on no

00:08:07.100 no tricks no gotcha no nothing he could i think only benefit from coming on my show but uh apparently

00:08:13.520 he's been maybe he's got some consulting types who are saying you know don't go on this guy's show

00:08:19.320 don't go i don't know but i i don't think it's a good idea i mean imagine if trump hadn't gone

00:08:24.220 on rogan and so on uh you know it helps to humanize these political figures it helps when

00:08:30.740 you just have a nice friendly chat very intimate so i mean there's still enough time for him to

00:08:36.880 to do good things uh i can't predict if he's going to win but i mean it would truly be unbelievable

00:08:42.380 if carney wins what is effectively a fourth mandate from the liberals when on every conceivable metric

00:08:51.340 that you could think of canada is astoundingly worse than it was before trudeau came to power

00:08:56.440 so we'll see thank you for that question moving on no question just appreciation thank you daniel

00:09:01.820 leg on uh okay let me go up here we go here we go clementine the beatles are pink floyd what the hell

00:09:11.380 i i don't know if you know this or not i don't know if you're trolling i despise the beatles the beatles

00:09:17.120 are auditory jihad i can't stand them okay so you know you could have said a screaming

00:09:26.880 you know baby i would have said it's better than the beatles so definitely pink floyd and pink floyd

00:09:33.680 is in a sense closer to my era right i'm i'm in you know first year high school you've got pink floyd

00:09:41.340 the uh what is it the wall hey teacher leave those kids alone i think it's it's big that's

00:09:47.580 pink floyd i think so i'm gonna have to pink pink floyd uh thank you for this other person

00:09:53.180 the contribution zacharia mcnaught is there any hope for canada is it true they froze

00:09:59.820 megan murphy's bank account as soon as she became a candidate i don't know about uh the bank account of

00:10:06.580 megan murphy i think she was the one who might have been sitting behind me when i gave my testimony

00:10:15.620 in 2017 in the canadian senate um regarding bill c16 so i think that could have been her uh is there

00:10:25.860 any hope for canada i mean i'm increasingly thinking no i think the demographic realities in canada are

00:10:32.020 astoundingly bad i mean truly it's shockingly bad and canada is incredibly parasitized by all of

00:10:40.660 these bad ideas and by suicidal empathy and so on so i'd like to be optimistic and say things could

00:10:46.740 change but it takes a cataclysmic agent of change to institute the types of changes that you would need

00:10:53.700 in canada and and notwithstanding the fact that i think poiliev would be a much better prime minister

00:10:58.580 than any of the competitors i'm not sure that he is that cataclysmic agent of change so i wish him

00:11:04.580 the best of luck but we'll wait and see okay let me go on we're getting some some good stuff coming

00:11:11.060 in now just making sure that i didn't miss anybody uh yes okay here we go zacharia is there hope thank

00:11:19.460 you vlad for your contribution have you read any of rené girard's work hike from croatia i'm guessing

00:11:27.220 uh no i don't know who is uh is so sorry i can't comment on that okay let's keep going

00:11:39.380 thank you rosa hollander the jews were live in lebanon in the 1870s shul sorry that's not english the jews

00:11:50.900 were where where live in lebanon in the 1870s shul i don't know what that means a shul is a term for

00:12:02.660 you know in a synagogue are you asking if did the jews live in lebanon in the 1870s and the answer would

00:12:09.620 certainly be yes i don't know what the number would have been in 1870 but uh certainly the last

00:12:16.740 remaining jews were the ones that left around the time that i left in the mid 70s when the civil war

00:12:23.460 broke up by the way yesterday april 13 1975 was it's unbelievable was the 50th year anniversary of the

00:12:35.780 start of the lebanese civil war so here i am young kid in lebanon boom civil war starts

00:12:43.220 unbelievable horrors unfold and then boom we're out of there luckily thank god uh and so on so that

00:12:52.500 was yesterday april 13th 1975 uh dasman 1818 please advice advice us in the us we're lost well i've been

00:13:02.100 trying to i've as you know i posted all sorts of things i posted about the muslim groom groom gangs for for

00:13:08.500 for years now i had tommy robinson on he came on my show i went on his just this past summer uh so

00:13:16.580 i'm trying to do whatever i can i tag keir starmer whenever i can uh i will be coming to england by

00:13:23.140 the way in early june i'll be speaking at a big london event and then also at the university of uh is it

00:13:31.300 buckingham i always mix up university buckingham or university of kensington i can't remember

00:13:35.060 uh the name but uh so i am speaking in england in early june so hopefully i'll see you at one of

00:13:41.300 those events prior to that i'm speaking in iceland and apparently the woke people in iceland went

00:13:46.740 completely wacko because the really really super mean professor gadsad is coming to speak in iceland

00:13:54.420 because when it comes to preserving icelandic culture what you really want to do is put your cultural

00:14:01.460 might behind yemeni and pakistani and syrian immigrants to iceland because those cultures

00:14:09.620 are very very closely aligned to icelandic culture don't worry it'll all work out okay let's keep going

00:14:15.860 who won the honey badger who won the honey badger or dave smith well i don't like you calling somebody

00:14:22.500 other than me the honey badger you could call him the british honey badger but the honey badger

00:14:30.820 it's this guy uh i didn't watch the i only watch so we were uh my whole family and i were driving to

00:14:38.340 ottawa uh on uh thursday i had a big speaking engagement on friday morning in ottawa at the canada

00:14:47.540 uh strong and free network conference which is the the new version of the the manning institute

00:14:55.220 uh or the manning manning used to be a very famous uh politician out of alberta sort of a libertarian

00:15:02.260 and so it's if you like a a meeting of libertarian and conservatives in canada and so i was the

00:15:10.500 special plenary speaker at the event at the event and on our way there i listened to about the first 40

00:15:16.660 45 minutes of the chat between uh douglas murray and dave smith uh and then i produced a clip which

00:15:26.980 you know has gotten tons and tons of views where i was making the very simple point that i adore

00:15:33.380 douglas murray he's i know him well he's been on my show we've communicated he's coming back on my show

00:15:38.740 next actually next monday yeah i i've been promoting his book it's all good all i said was

00:15:45.700 that you know it seemed like the small part that i listened to it was very much you know it shouldn't

00:15:49.860 be comedians and guys who know nothing that come on your show and so on and my point was the you know

00:15:56.260 just restricted to attacking their idiocy all those anti-israel guys that went on joe rogan

00:16:04.020 have spewed all sorts of nonsense and i could say let me take 10 points and demonstrate how they're

00:16:10.260 completely ridiculous without referencing it's just a stylistic thing it's a form of debate decorum

00:16:17.940 you know your idea is idiotic because the idea is idiotic and not because you're not

00:16:23.940 you know you're just a comedian that's literally the only point i made if you see the amount of hate

00:16:29.220 i got because i dared somehow quote critique something that douglas murray did it wasn't even

00:16:35.780 really a critique it was like hey this guy is fantastic and you know more power to you he's

00:16:40.500 the british honey badger but hey just stay away from you've never been to the area or so what does

00:16:46.340 that mean if somebody's never been to the holocaust during the holocaust they can't make comments about

00:16:50.900 it so i didn't think that that was a an intelligent you know a the maximal style of shooting down uh those

00:16:59.380 guys that david smith dave smith and the rest of those guys that went on joe rogan other people got upset

00:17:04.420 at me because i'm somehow supposed to disassociate myself from joe rogan because he's had guys that

00:17:11.140 spew bullshit about israel that's insane right i mean you wouldn't know anything about free speech

00:17:17.060 absolutism or about who i am if you thought that i was going to find such attacks compelling right i also

00:17:25.380 get to go on joe rogan to defend israel and defend causes and to warn against islam i wouldn't have that

00:17:32.820 opportunity were it not that joe is gracious enough to invite me so idiots can go on and spew their

00:17:39.940 nonsense and other people can go on and hopefully correct the narrative that's what you do in a free

00:17:46.340 society so i didn't hear the the other sort of substance substantive parts of the the talk uh the

00:17:54.020 the chat between uh douglas murray and dave smith but i'm sure that i don't doubt that uh douglas

00:18:01.540 murray comported himself with the british elegance that we'd expect of him all right let's keep going

00:18:08.740 uh jessica have you ever told the story of your childhood from lebanon to canada i would love

00:18:13.860 to hear if you are open to sharing thank you for all you do yes of course i have uh i've done it in

00:18:18.660 many ways and on many you know in many platforms but i would certainly invite you to at the very least

00:18:26.660 read chapter one of the parasitic mind which is where it's right here uh chapter one i really do

00:18:34.420 go into quite a bit of details about not not all of the relevant details but a lot of some of the

00:18:40.660 more harrowing details of leaving lebanon and moving to canada so i hope you'll check it out thank you

00:18:47.220 jessica let's keep going okay they're coming in now i like it i love you know what i love about

00:18:52.980 these i i should do these more often it's it's a form of sort of intellectual improvisation right

00:18:58.260 you you don't know what's coming at you it's like the slot machine and you have to kind of react

00:19:03.540 quickly you know people can ask you about anything so i i think it's fun and i should probably do these

00:19:08.900 on a regular basis but yeah whatever okay here we go that jewish ex-spy in i don't see what the rest of

00:19:17.700 the your name is do you see any hope to have qatar slash muslim brotherhood money banned from universities

00:19:28.180 that's a great question so i don't know about the the legal apparatus that would allow this to take

00:19:34.660 place in the united states but on a on an abstract philosophical level i would argue that of course it

00:19:41.940 should be possible right you've got foreign agents that are that espouse values that are i mean they

00:19:49.140 couldn't be more antithetical to western values who are then buying their way into our institution so

00:19:57.460 that they can then parasitize our young children or young young adults their minds right this is why you get

00:20:05.380 the kind of anti-israel animus coming out of you know western students uh coming from you know western

00:20:13.140 universities because every political science department and near east studies department

00:20:18.500 is being taught in a way whereby you know the noble palestinians are beautiful and peaceful they just

00:20:24.020 want to live and coexist and the nasty white polish uh jewish immigrants who came as hardened colonizers who

00:20:32.580 rape everything and kill everybody i mean really nothing could be further from the truth but that's

00:20:36.740 what's being taught by professor ahmad muhammad hussein al-akbar at colombia university and so that's what

00:20:42.980 the students end up learning and then they wear the keffiyeh and they go and say death death to jews

00:20:48.900 so i would like to think that there should be some sort of mechanism by which hostile entities do not end up

00:20:57.700 buying their way into our institutions but i'll leave that for the lawyers to work out

00:21:02.500 moises mizrahi uh by the way for those of you who don't know there are different types of jews

00:21:08.740 there is ashkenazi jews those are the ones that come from eastern and central europe poland austria

00:21:16.740 romania russia and so on ukraine then you typically have a lumping of all other jews as uh sephardic jews

00:21:26.180 but that's technically not true sephardic jews could be from spain from portugal and so on but then

00:21:31.860 you've got the span of the uh the mizrahi jews the mizrahi jews are like what i am uh they're usually

00:21:39.140 they're jews that will typically come from arabic speaking countries uh lebanon syria iraq

00:21:50.500 you know uh north africa and so on and so forth okay so uh so we've got here moises mizrahi thank you for

00:21:58.900 your donation we've got brad bell thank you for your donation and the reason i'm not reading the

00:22:03.860 questions because it's just a donation with no uh question we've got the onyx codex do you believe

00:22:11.380 it's wrong for non-muslim parents to discourage their daughters from dating and or marrying uh muslim men

00:22:17.860 i prefer to reframe that rather than non-muslim muslim i would say

00:22:27.860 all other things equal and i discussed this and where is it it's not i can't see it here it's maybe

00:22:34.260 it's behind me in the sad truth about happiness which was my latest book uh the book after the

00:22:40.020 parasitic mind was a book on happiness and one of the early chapters i talk about the two decisions that

00:22:45.860 you can make that either impart the maximal amount of happiness or the maximal amount of

00:22:52.100 misery if you make the wrong decision and that is choosing the right spouse and choosing the right

00:22:56.260 profession and i get into all the details well to your question uh i talk when i'm talking about

00:23:02.740 choosing the right spouse i discuss the fact that in evolutionary psychology you got two maxims opposites

00:23:10.260 attract or birds of a feather flock together which one is more likely to lead to long-term happiness and

00:23:16.580 and the answer is the research is unequivocal that it's birds of a feather flock together so but

00:23:22.660 flocking on which feathers same values same mindset same life objectives right so if i am a very acerbic

00:23:34.100 atheist and and my prospective spouse is a very very religious person that's already going to put a

00:23:40.740 strain because our relationship to religiosity is not the same right and so the the more consequential

00:23:47.860 things that we are similar on the better that relationship would be so there could be a muslim man

00:23:53.700 who is completely secular who who believes in all of the foundational values of liberty and freedom and

00:24:00.580 it might well be the case that that person might be more aligned with with the with the non-muslim

00:24:07.140 than some other person who you know who knows is misogynistic is is controlling is dumb who knows

00:24:13.860 but all other things equal uh there are certain uh values that come with marrying a muslim man that

00:24:23.220 might create friction with somebody who doesn't come from that culture so life is a statistical game and so

00:24:30.260 you want to put as many of the odds on your side all right there you go let's keep going okay do you

00:24:36.900 believe it's wrong okay we did that one moises is back why do you believe moderate islam has no future

00:24:43.540 well i mean i've discussed this many times there is no moderate islam there is no moderate judaism

00:24:51.220 there is judaism judaism prescribes kosher laws many people decide to ignore those kosher laws it's not

00:24:58.740 because they're practicing moderate judaism it's because they choose to ignore the parts of judaism

00:25:06.020 that they don't care to follow right so i am very much steeped in my jewish heritage but i'm not

00:25:12.180 someone who's very practicing in terms of my religiosity i do eat shrimps i don't think that

00:25:17.940 the great lord of the universe cares whether i eat crustaceans or not but if you are very religious

00:25:24.020 you think that god absolutely decreed don't eat shellfish uh it's not because i'm practicing

00:25:30.260 moderate judaism i'm ignoring the parts that i choose to ignore so there is no moderate islam

00:25:36.500 there is no militant islam there's no radical islam there's no extremist extremist islam there's just

00:25:42.020 islam now it is true that there are various strands there is shia islam there is sunni islam there's

00:25:48.100 uh uh you know uh uh uh sufi islam which is a lot more spiritual and in a sense gentle but the codified

00:25:58.260 content of islam is just islam okay and when you say moderate islam what you are referring to are

00:26:06.500 moderate muslims who choose to ignore the parts of islam that they don't wish to partake in like kill

00:26:13.780 kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill okay that's not because they're practicing moderate islam

00:26:19.220 it's because they choose because they are decent good peaceful people they ignore the parts that they

00:26:24.020 don't want all right all right i'm getting i'm getting warmed up noble bird zero two i'm writing a time

00:26:33.860 travel novel would 19th with 19th century well i think something's with it would 19th lebanese

00:26:43.380 jewish boys i guess 19th century lebanese jewish boys have studied aramaic at yeshiva before 13.

00:26:51.380 god damn that's a very specific question would with with with shorter lebanese jews who live on the east

00:26:59.460 side of tripoli have studied aramaic under conditions of i mean i don't know man in 19th

00:27:06.340 century lebanese jews would they have studied aramaic at yeshiva before the age of 13 i'm assuming

00:27:12.420 you're you're saying 13 because that's the bar mitzvah age uh what language would that is a the study

00:27:21.300 at this i i don't know so sorry i i i'm very uh disciplined about what i know and don't know and i don't

00:27:28.740 bs i'm not exactly sure what the question is and i couldn't tell you whether in 19th century lebanon

00:27:36.660 jewish kids would have studied aramaic or not so sorry can't help you there my apologies cptg i

00:27:44.500 sincerely recommend renee girard's violence and the sacred as well as his other works it is deep dive in

00:27:52.020 the psychology of sacrifice in history interesting i do very briefly talk about

00:27:59.780 some forms of sacrifice uh when i it's on suicidal empathy my forthcoming book where i talk since the

00:28:08.340 title of the book is suicidal empathy i get into a cross-cultural and cross-temporal

00:28:13.700 political accounting of various forms of suicides and one of which is a type of sacrificial suicide

00:28:22.020 and so i do talk about that so you've you've tweaked my interest i'll try to take a look thank you for

00:28:26.820 that renee girard okay i will look for that going down oops i must have skipped something hold on hold on a

00:28:34.500 second okay we're we're getting warmed up this is this is good i love this okay guys i don't know why i don't do more

00:28:41.220 often i don't do this more often okay we've got patsy 001 what do you attribute this upswing of

00:28:48.180 targeting jews by popular youtubers recently i've never experienced this much hostility on right-wing

00:28:54.180 sites well i've weighed in on this for a while there are several reasons uh i i can't specifically speak to

00:29:00.980 you know right-wing youtubers but look generally speak well in in the current era it is certainly the

00:29:10.660 case that you can get a lot of attention uh by you know exhibiting anti-jewish and you know anti-israel

00:29:18.660 animus right uh and i've analogized this to how young women will use instagram to you know get attention

00:29:28.180 and in their case what are they going to use they're going to use usually their beauty their

00:29:32.500 physical beauty they're gonna show themselves in suggestive poses wearing scanty look you know being

00:29:38.660 scantily clad well you know usually male youtubers who are trying to etch you know some niche for

00:29:46.100 themselves uh within the internet landscape have to find some strategy to draw an audience and so

00:29:53.220 regrettably one of the ways by which you can build a very committed and engaged audience is to go

00:29:59.780 you know f the jews my problems are because of the jews jews jews jews jews jews jews my girlfriend

00:30:06.420 cheated on me jews i lost my job jews i didn't get a hollywood acting gig jews uh my 401k is down jews

00:30:16.980 and so it's not difficult in the current environment to see how a anti-jew narrative can certainly attract a

00:30:27.700 very dedicated group of maniacs so there you go all right moving on moving on this the seal of the

00:30:38.100 prophet are you bullish on poiliev's chances well i already addressed this i right now the i think the

00:30:44.420 betting the the betting pool is against poiliev i'd like to think that canadians are not going to be so

00:30:51.140 idiotic but never underestimate the capacity of canadians to be completely suicidal in their

00:30:58.660 political uh voting patterns so inshallah we will see let's see okay let me go on oh stephen evans

00:31:09.140 goodfellas or the godfather wow that's a good one i like it

00:31:13.140 uh i saw godfather you know many years ago i mean not when it first came out but you know

00:31:21.460 many many years ago i have to say goodfellas i know i know it's probably uh it's a bit controversial

00:31:30.340 for me to say that but i have to say that there are so many iconic scenes in goodfellas of course you

00:31:38.180 could also say that for godfather but you know it seems a bit more dated cinematographically

00:31:43.140 speaking i'm talking about godfather but if you ask me all-time greatest movies you didn't ask this

00:31:49.700 you ask between these two movies i'm gonna have to go with the 1950s movie i can't remember if it was

00:31:55.060 57 or 59 12 angry men the original not a not a mob movie but out of this world now if you want to

00:32:02.980 stick to mob movies another one that i love is one of my favorite of all time is a bronx tale

00:32:10.500 fantastic now in that one the completely retarded robert de niro i say retarded because it's insane

00:32:16.820 how unhinged he is about donald trump uh in this in this movie de niro doesn't play a mobster he plays

00:32:24.500 a very straight-laced bus driver who's trying to keep his young son from you know be you know hanging

00:32:31.860 around with the mob so it's a complete role reversal brilliant movie if you haven't seen it a bronx tale

00:32:38.020 i think 1993 soundtracks fantastic the whole thing's fantastic check it out okay i love this guys let's

00:32:44.980 keep it going the cat lady shalom dear echi which means brother now how you're dealing with being

00:32:56.340 magnificent it's not easy it's not easy i gotta walk by mirrors i have to stop and admire myself it's

00:33:04.660 not easy it's very very difficult but somebody's got to do it no but in all seriousness um i love what

00:33:12.020 i do i love connecting with people i love spending all day you know uh swimming and ideas debating i i think

00:33:22.340 it's it sucks that you know one gets a lot of hate uh you know i i truly am someone who's very warm and

00:33:30.900 playful and so on uh so i think even my staunchest haters if they got to know me i'd like to think they

00:33:39.220 would like me so i would love to live in a world where we can debate ideas uh without all the nastiness

00:33:46.740 uh but this is the world we live in but uh yeah thank you it's not easy being magnificent but someone

00:33:53.620 has to wear the robe of magnificence thank you so much cat lady the onyx codex is back all things

00:34:00.420 equal i prefer your explanation better than saying because i said so yes you mean you i don't know who

00:34:08.100 you're referring to are you talking about the the douglas murray versus uh uh dave smith i'm not sure but

00:34:15.140 yes okay thank you i appreciate that fountainhead forum god how do i get you on my show

00:34:23.140 well i don't know who you are uh you know look the reality is

00:34:29.620 we all have a fixed pie of time right uh i'm sure there are tons of shows that i end up not going on

00:34:37.940 that would have been absolutely wonderful i receive hundreds of requests in a given week i mean i mean

00:34:43.780 literally and so you know you have to do a triage sometimes it's because the person is recommended

00:34:50.180 sometimes it's because it's a big forum so i know that if at least i go on that show my time will be

00:34:56.500 well you know uh well served and that i'm in the business of trying to spread ideas uh so i don't know

00:35:03.860 uh it's very unlikely that if you have and again by the way i i interact as you probably have seen

00:35:11.220 you know with people online that have 12 followers so it's not as though i modulate with whom i speak

00:35:17.460 as a function of how important they are but if it comes to going on a show you know someone writes to

00:35:22.500 me hey bro i just started a new podcast you want to come on i go check it out it's got four subscribers

00:35:29.300 and it has 132 views come on man all right here we go how do i get you on my show also what do you

00:35:40.180 think of javier malay i've done 73 73 shows talking about him he's the only hope for the world wow 73

00:35:47.860 shows boy you're uh you're committed in your uh focus uh i've never met him but of course uh

00:35:55.300 i know about his work i know the astounding economic turnaround he's had in uh argentina

00:36:03.460 of course i'm partial to argentina if only because of lionel messi and the argentinian

00:36:08.260 national team uh so in that sense i'm an honorary argentinian uh but yeah i mean uh he's got great

00:36:15.940 ideas i love his flamboyant personality it's refreshing when a politician is not this i mean he's the he's the

00:36:23.140 opposite in terms of a style to someone like mark carney the current interim prime minister of

00:36:28.980 canada right very scripted very afraid of his shadow sucks his thumb and cries he's afraid to say

00:36:35.300 one word out of place whereas you know malay is a tornado he comes in and he just it's it's the it's

00:36:42.100 the argentinian tornado i love that i love that authenticity and that's what i appreciate by the way in

00:36:47.380 and donald trump all right let's keep going fountainhead forum is back oh no that sorry

00:36:53.220 that that was i just answered him okay let's go on uh there was a boy okay thank you for your

00:36:59.700 contribution what to do if there is no documented proof left of my jewish origins only the results of

00:37:07.140 a dna test and a jewish last name but israel is the only state that i truly can and want to be loyal to

00:37:13.700 so what do you mean what to do what to do about what you wish to emigrate to israel what i don't

00:37:20.820 know what the question is if if you're if you're only there's all the answers so if your jewish last

00:37:29.060 name it well this is a jewish one and you have a dna test that proves that you are jewish well i'm not

00:37:35.940 sure what you're asking exactly sorry about that i don't know i don't know what the answer to that okay

00:37:41.700 let's keep going the questions are coming in i'm scrolling to make sure that i don't miss anything

00:37:47.220 okay guys

00:37:51.060 okay here we go here we go okay next one oh i remember bartolome esteban hello dr sad how are you

00:37:59.780 doing this monday evening i am doing very well oh you're always so polite i do remember you because

00:38:05.060 you have such a unique name you always have such a gracious and elegant way of interacting with people

00:38:10.420 so thank you for that uh i understand these dire wolves are not actually dire wolves but the

00:38:16.180 development is nevertheless groundbreaking what negative outcomes could come out of this that's

00:38:20.820 amazing that you just asked me this because my wife just told me that the people from colossal i think

00:38:27.460 it's called colossal sciences the people who who did this project with the dire wolves uh just replied

00:38:34.180 to come on my show so i will keep it there i think this the the head of uh science there or the scientific

00:38:44.260 director of the company is coming on and uh the head of animal welfare or something like that is also

00:38:53.700 potentially coming on so stay tuned i've made contact with those guys i do think that uh it was oversold as

00:39:03.860 you know we have the extinct is extinctified if i can say it that way the dire wolves not quite and

00:39:10.820 that's exactly what i thought uh it's still some very interesting technology with huge number of

00:39:17.220 implications and applications so stay tuned we will definitely get into all that kind of good stuff

00:39:23.700 once they come on my show i think i'm aiming to have them on the last week of april so stay tuned

00:39:31.540 it's going to be amazing all right thank you so much uh nessie thank you for your contribution

00:39:38.180 benjamin jeffrey did you finish the beginning of infinity of uh by david deutch oh look at this you

00:39:45.140 ready you ready boom boom i gotta tell you something i gotta tell you something david deutch

00:39:54.740 i've spoken to a lot of fantastic people in my life i've spoken to a lot of fantastic people in my

00:39:58.900 life i mean that's i've been a professor for 31 years i've been a the host of my show for

00:40:04.580 many years now i've had all sorts of unbelievable people every single one has been a most 99 percent

00:40:11.220 have been a delight to host on my show david deutch different animal the the depth the intellectual

00:40:20.580 profundity of our two conversations is exactly how i imagine every minute of every day would be like

00:40:29.220 in being a professor just unadulterated non-stop deep deep intellectual conversation so but to answer

00:40:38.820 your question no i have not finished it as a matter of fact i hate to say it i have not really started i

00:40:43.380 i kind of very quickly went through some of the stuff in preparation for our chat and so on but uh

00:40:49.220 no i still look forward to to reading it by the way just where i am sitting right here i am completely

00:40:56.260 surrounded by a million books many of which i've yet to read one of my biggest stressors in life

00:41:03.780 god willing may be the only stressor in my life is that how am i going to have time to read all those

00:41:10.820 books i cannot bear to imagine that there's all of these books within three meters of me

00:41:18.580 that i've yet to read like really you can't imagine my library how amazing it is my personal library

00:41:24.500 so no i've not read it yes i plan to read it david deutch legend not only as an as a brain but just

00:41:32.420 his elegance he's a gentleman so we're hoping actually to to hook up and connect when i go to

00:41:38.420 england so maybe i'll have more to say about that later david deutch is a dream it's the most

00:41:44.500 mind-breaking book oh i hadn't read that yet yes well i don't i don't i'm not surprised by that

00:41:50.660 because he's something else can you get jordan peterson to read it and we need you and david to

00:41:55.140 talk again i absolutely agree uh i i am you know i i was even thinking you know what i should probably

00:42:01.700 have like a monthly thing with david you know david and gad go on an e-walk you know how not that i

00:42:08.900 wish to compare myself to girdle or einstein but you know girdle and einstein were known to just go

00:42:14.740 for these long walks when they were both at the institute for advanced studies at princeton uh

00:42:20.660 you know i wish that david and i lived in the same city but if we don't you know once a month we just

00:42:25.460 get together for an e-walk and just talk stuff i think it would be fantastic david is legendary he's

00:42:31.700 fantastic okay let's keep going let's keep going i i i always panic given my sort of perfectionism and

00:42:40.100 ocd that i somehow will miss somebody's question i hope i haven't i'm systematically going through it

00:42:47.300 yusuf altimimi thank you you you were the first one to give a donation earlier so thank you for that

00:42:53.860 without a question but now you have a question is it possible for muslim societies to accept peace if

00:42:59.540 yes what needs to change do you want me to be honest or do you want me to bullshit you i think

00:43:05.860 it's the former no it's not possible now that doesn't mean that in an islamic society there is

00:43:12.260 endless killing all day long 24 hours a day seven days a week 365 days a year but does islam promote

00:43:22.180 peaceful coexistence with others i mean nothing could be further from the truth from that you know

00:43:27.060 nothing could be clearer right there is there are battles between islam and buddhists islam and

00:43:33.060 atheists islam and hindus islam and christianity islam and other sects of islam islam and judaism

00:43:41.940 i mean it's it's never ending okay where that's why you know samuel huntington i think

00:43:48.020 was samuel hunting said that islam has forever bloody borders why because it's a supremacist

00:43:54.260 religion now that doesn't mean that individual muslims might not be perfectly lovely and peaceful

00:43:59.380 but does islam as a codified set of ideas promote peace no it's a supremacist religion men more

00:44:05.940 important than women and humans more important than animals muslims more important than the kuffar

00:44:12.980 the infidels the dirty infidels uh and on and on right so it's a very hierarchical society rooted in

00:44:20.900 power dynamics so it's very hard to have peace either within the society or across borders because

00:44:30.500 it contains codified elements that don't promote peace okay nothing could be clearer all right so sorry

00:44:37.940 yusuf i hope i haven't upset you with that answer but it is what it is by the way the only way that

00:44:43.700 you have domestic peace in islamic societies is when you have autocratic rulers they could be ayatollahs

00:44:50.500 they could be kings and monarchs they could be caliphs they could be dictators but in order to reign in

00:44:58.340 even in islamic society from within you need strong armed tactics by a supreme leader

00:45:05.620 that's just history that's just facts okay let's go on brendan lefton are there aspects to canadian

00:45:14.980 culture that you prefer to american culture okay let me start with that one uh are there aspects of

00:45:21.060 canadian culture that i prefer to american culture i mean i don't want to be stereotypical and say oh

00:45:28.420 canadians are polite and nice because i've also met a lot of canadian assholes so i don't think it's

00:45:33.460 really endemic i mean there is an element of less kind of brash rah-rah that comes with some of the

00:45:43.540 stereotypical american stuff that i think is appreciated uh but in terms of my pop culture

00:45:51.220 i mean we were talking earlier about goodfellas versus god uh the godfather right uh the music i listen

00:45:58.580 to is is very much not canadian the the films i watch are not canadian so is there something

00:46:05.540 in the cultural baggage of canada that i prefer to the us i'm i'm afraid to say no uh i prefer the

00:46:13.380 american uh uh system of can do entrepreneurial anybody can be anything canada is much more of a

00:46:21.460 socialist uh country and certainly quebec even more than the rest of canada i don't support that

00:46:28.420 that's one of the reasons why i've for many years now wanted to leave so it is what it is although

00:46:34.260 of course i'm infinitely grateful for having been able to come to canada and escape the hell that i

00:46:39.780 escaped from in the middle east do you feel more in alignment with the classic american values of

00:46:44.580 liberties and self-reliance okay i hadn't even read that thank you uh that's exactly right that's and

00:46:51.140 so that's why i always say in my heart in in the depth of my values that define my personhood i'm an

00:46:58.100 american right i love frontier i love self-reliance individual liberty it's not the government that

00:47:07.300 protects me from the bad guys i have a shotgun and you with me i kill you right because i have the

00:47:13.700 dignity of being able to defend myself i love the first amendment i love the second amendment

00:47:18.820 canada is a status like you know it's a it's a welfare state right you you subcontract all your

00:47:27.620 individual rights to benevolent big brother who'll take care of you who will tell you when you will

00:47:32.820 change your winter tires who will tell you when you can open up your terrace who will tell you how much

00:47:38.420 of your hard-earned money you get to keep because it's their money they decide what they want to do

00:47:45.860 with your book royalties uh so yes i'm certainly much more aligned with the united states

00:47:54.820 okay let's keep going wow we're getting oh that's so lovely i don't i haven't been reading the comments

00:48:02.820 gad is the most rational and compassionate psychologist philosopher of recent times thank you sir you're

00:48:07.380 you're lovely love you gad although it's not gad i wish i had time to just read all of those comments

00:48:13.380 uh i love how people try to squeeze in questions without any super donor uh donations vlad gave in

00:48:22.980 some more donation without a question thank you very much nessie g here comes nessie g do you think

00:48:28.020 christianity would have softened towards jews without israel is it not the only is it not the only reason some

00:48:34.980 christians like us uh do you think christianity would have softened towards jews without israel

00:48:41.060 i don't quite understand the grammatical structure uh i think that there are many christians who love

00:48:47.460 the jews whether israel existed or not and i think there are many christians who hate jews whether israel

00:48:53.780 existed or not now of course there is an element for example evangelical christians might be zionist and in

00:49:00.260 that sense because of their evangelism they might have a unique uh you know positive bias towards israel

00:49:09.300 uh but in the whole i think uh most christians would probably support uh jews in general because

00:49:18.660 we are a judeo-christian society and so in that sense all is good although believe me i have received some

00:49:26.980 unbelievable jew hatred from from some supposed christians yikes all right let's keep going

00:49:34.580 noam lifshitz any explanation for the rise of auto anti-semitism i don't know if that was a typo

00:49:44.420 or do you mean auto anti-semitism meaning jews who hate themselves uh yes i've explained this many

00:49:51.380 times i call those wood cricket jews and if you don't understand the reference go back to

00:49:57.060 either the parasitic mind to to know about sort of the general neuro parasitic reference or many of

00:50:03.700 my lectures so aaron mate wood cricket jew gabor mate the king of wood cricket jews glenn greenwald

00:50:11.620 wood cricket jews so there are many interesting phenomena at play when it comes to wood cricket jews i

00:50:18.900 won't repeat it here because i've discussed it on many occasions thank you very much no

00:50:23.060 george kazma would you consider canada dead if liberals win i mean not dead but closer to death

00:50:31.300 right uh look there isn't a singular thing that could happen over the next x number of years that's going

00:50:40.100 to bring about the literal death of our country but you know i always tell people

00:50:46.580 whenever you're checking the effect of something only one of three things can happen if today

00:50:51.860 i get on the diet and the types of decisions i make at the end of the day i want to know what

00:50:56.660 happened to my weight there's only three things that happened to my weight my weight can go up my

00:51:01.780 weight can stay the same or my weight can go down right there is no other option there is no other

00:51:07.140 state of the world given that intervention of trying to lose weight correct okay so if the liberals win

00:51:15.300 are we going to improve the reality in canada is the reality in canada going to stay the same or is

00:51:23.460 it going to worsen well i think we can venture with quite amount of assuredness that canada

00:51:33.060 will worsen on whichever metrics matter to us if the liberals win again because we've got

00:51:39.380 the historical trends of that right and so i don't think canada will die but it will certainly get a

00:51:45.220 lot worse thank you very much for that one let's keep going let me oh i think i just skipped something

00:51:52.660 it has a weird way of uh skipping okay let me just find i don't want to miss anybody

00:52:00.420 okay here we go oh my god there are tons there are tons oh my god okay

00:52:09.460 i don't know why it skips like that okay hold on i'm i there's really like probably 20 questions in

00:52:15.780 the queue okay here we go i found david shehet advice for whether or not to pursue a phd i'm 20

00:52:22.020 considering to pursue one in computer science to research ai but i'm weighing the time cost i would be 27

00:52:27.700 after uh all other things equal if you've got the ability to do so if you've got the financial means

00:52:34.740 to do so i would always say all other things equal study more if you get your phd you finish at 27

00:52:42.340 you have a phd in computer science and if you decide at that point to do nothing to do with that

00:52:48.580 nobody can take away the training that you've gotten the journey that you went on nobody can take

00:52:54.340 away that phd from you you could only win and so if if you're saying 27 as though oh boy i'll be old

00:53:02.260 no you won't be old you'll have a phd in computer science so do it i tell two stories and my book

00:53:08.100 on happiness my latest book my last book uh about a guy who started his undergrad in his 60s got his

00:53:14.980 master's in his 70s 80s and then obtained his phd in his early 90s at my university at concordia

00:53:21.140 university i tell the story of another guy who already had an md already had a phd in 1967 in

00:53:28.100 biochemistry but his real love was physics when he retired from medicine he went back got his

00:53:35.300 education in physics and graduated with a second phd he was already an md and a phd got a second phd

00:53:43.140 at the age of 89 he came on my show go back and check it out memfred steiner i think was his name

00:53:49.620 at 89 years old he got his phd so you're you're asking me if at 27 you'll be too old no go get

00:53:57.380 your phd now if you were to tell me i've got three kids i don't have the luxury to study more i need to

00:54:03.300 put food on the table then that might change the calculus but if you've got the means the ability

00:54:08.580 you've got the parental support everything is lined up for you to go on and study do it

00:54:14.660 and you'll come back to me in a few years and say professor sad thank you so much for that advice

00:54:20.820 all right we got ferrera p is imam tawhidi's islam real islam in your opinion it seems like

00:54:25.700 he keeps cleaving to islam in order to avoid a personal psychological breakdown

00:54:30.740 it's funny you say imam tawhidi we just recently met i met him and his wife we met with uh

00:54:37.540 one of our kids uh my daughter and my wife and i met him uh at a cafe in montreal about maybe two or

00:54:46.980 three weeks ago uh look i think there is i obviously love imam tawhidi in that he is trying to uh soften

00:54:58.420 islam he's trying to create a pluralistic tolerant islam now does he have the canonical

00:55:05.060 uh backing to do so i think not but uh in the sense that is there a way to reform islam from within

00:55:15.540 so that the non-palpable parts are forever more eradicated well he certainly hasn't done that but

00:55:22.100 we need voices like imam tawhidi he is he is demonstrating uh that you know you could have

00:55:29.300 imams of islam who are not you know going around saying kill kill kill and so more power to him

00:55:38.260 let's go on the onyx codex comes back regarding the question do you believe it's wrong for non-muslim

00:55:43.780 parents to discourage their daughters from dating and or marrying muslim men i prefer your explanation

00:55:48.980 over parents saying oh i see thank you okay i got you yes exactly yeah thank you for that uh look

00:55:55.860 it's never a good idea to tell someone because i said so now sometimes when a child is very young and

00:56:01.940 you feel that the explanation that you're going to give to justify the parental decision you've made

00:56:08.500 might go above their head you might say shut up that's the way it is but even for very young

00:56:15.380 children i've never taken that approach i've always treated my children with the dignity of the

00:56:22.420 flourishing brains that they have now of course you have to modulate how you speak to them as a

00:56:27.300 function of their cognitive abilities yes of course but i don't like the shut up i told you so do what i

00:56:33.620 said i'm your father i don't like that power dynamic yes respect me i'm your father yes you you you i i

00:56:41.060 i am owed the respect and reverence as your parent but i want uh to be a a guide for you so if i take a

00:56:50.660 decision and if i share my wisdom with you i'd like to explain it rather than you know decree it from

00:56:58.500 the emperor's lodge this is why by the way uh if you remember in the parasitic mind i talked about my

00:57:05.220 relationship with religion early where i would ask my dad when we're at wadi abu jmeel for those of you

00:57:10.900 who who speak arabic this is the the the jewish quarters in beirut at the time when we were at

00:57:18.180 magin avraham uh synagogue that's the hebrew name of the synagogue in beirut uh i would say why are we

00:57:26.980 standing up now for the shut up just do it i said so okay no explain to me i'm sitting there for six

00:57:34.100 hours on on a saturday at synagogue i'm five years old i'm full of energy i want to go play soccer

00:57:40.500 we now we stand up now we sit down now we do the macarena to the left now we go to the right what's

00:57:45.220 going on explain it to me there is no explain just shut up and follow orders i don't like that and

00:57:50.740 that's i think one of the reasons why i got a bit turned off from religion to be honest with you

00:57:55.620 dr sad greetings from your hometown montreal montreal how you doing dr edward drew okay let's keep going

00:58:02.260 michelle oh no not michelle michael marmorstein or stein can you prove the pumping level oh boy just

00:58:11.460 jesting but thanks for the book recommendation you got it sir very good uh don't worry about it thank

00:58:18.020 you for your coverage should i have spaghetti or pot roast for dinner tomorrow oh okay you can't go wrong

00:58:26.500 with spaghetti it's gorgeous but if you want to have this gorgeous thin face that i have i used to

00:58:34.020 have a face double the size then you probably want to avoid the spaghetti of course all good things in

00:58:39.700 moderation so i would say all other things equal more protein less carbs is a good thing all right let's

00:58:48.260 keep going we got some norwegian now it's a big number the donation but i'm thinking it's some

00:58:54.340 norwegian currency so it's probably going to be 40 cents or or maybe i'm going to bite my my tongue

00:59:00.820 and it's a huge amount i don't know why do you think the egyptians coptics still 100 follow arabic

00:59:06.900 culture the way they do and haven't returned to at least parts of their old identity other conquered

00:59:12.180 groups at least keep kept their language great question for those of you who don't know coptic christians

00:59:19.860 used to be the complete majority egypt egypt was coptic christian and then over many many centuries

00:59:27.460 the number of coptic christians decreased we don't know why it's a mad it's a it's a mystery why

00:59:36.020 iraqi christians disappeared syrian christians are almost disappeared lebanese christians

00:59:42.420 are not disappeared but they used to be two-thirds of lebanon now they're one-third of lebanon

00:59:46.500 coptic christians only 10 percent of egypt who makes them disappear who knows it must be the jews

00:59:53.700 it's got to be the jews uh i think there is an element here i'm going by your name here some

01:00:00.340 norwegian i think there's an element of the psychology of dimmitud dimmitud dimmi dimmi in arabic is the

01:00:07.140 uh uh the word that's given for those asshole non-muslims the uh ahl al-kutub the the uh

01:00:18.580 the people of the book meaning christians or jews who we can tolerate we meaning us superior muslims

01:00:24.900 we can tolerate having these degenerates kuffar in our society but they have to be dimmis they have to

01:00:31.060 recognize their third fourth class status and so oftentimes what happens in those cultures where

01:00:37.140 you have religious minorities in a otherwise dominant society dominated by islam you have

01:00:43.780 to develop the free reflex of survival one of the ways you do that is you sublimate your identity

01:00:50.180 because otherwise hey be careful jew don't wear that star of david too big you're getting too uppity

01:00:57.620 jew and so i suspect that there is some of that dynamic going on in in uh amongst coptic christians

01:01:04.100 in egypt see that's one of the things that i love about doing these things look just now in the

01:01:09.700 it's been an hour now just the number of different types of questions one question is should i eat

01:01:15.380 spaghetti or roast uh pot roast and the next question is what's going on with coptic christians in egypt

01:01:23.140 that's the beauty of doing this let's keep going keep it going we've got almost 500 people here with

01:01:29.620 us that's pretty good on on short notice okay we've got zulu charlie hello professor what do you think

01:01:36.180 about the burning down of the governor's mansion in pennsylvania yes this is josh shapiro do you think

01:01:41.940 this type of violence will be more prevalent as people hold up individuals like the health care assassins

01:01:46.660 as heroes absolutely as a matter of fact i mean of course i think very badly of what happened but

01:01:53.620 to your question do i think it's going to happen more frequently yes uh there is now a paper that

01:01:58.740 recently came out on assassination culture and actually the lead author of that paper reached out to me

01:02:05.780 uh his name is i think joel finkelstein uh and once you normalize the killing of political opponents

01:02:20.100 under a consequentialist ethic it's okay to kill if the person you're killing is a really bad person

01:02:27.940 that's a consequentialist ethic rather than a deontological ethic which would say it is never

01:02:32.900 okay to kill your political enemies uh then you're going to have an increase of this and i think

01:02:38.260 that regrettably the the the party of empathy and tolerance on the left has really internalized that

01:02:45.620 consequentialist ethic i was actually supposed to appear last week on will kane's show to exactly

01:02:51.300 speak about this uh i was bumped off by some guy i don't know donald trump i don't know who that is he

01:02:56.580 bumped me off uh so i guess i can't be too upset when you're bumped off by the president of the united

01:03:02.660 states but hopefully we are rescheduling that appearance for this week so stay tuned will

01:03:08.340 kane by the way one of the loveliest sweetest guys you'll ever meet in media all right let's keep

01:03:13.940 going thank you for that zulu charlie all right all right we got patsy 001 why was douglas murray's

01:03:22.420 appearance a debate instead of a one-on-one uh discussion i mean i don't have any inside information

01:03:30.500 but i'm going to guess that uh probably people wrote to joe rogan saying hey it would be great to

01:03:37.060 have these two folks both of whom have you know big audiences uh hash it out so i'm guessing that's

01:03:45.220 what it was but i don't i don't have any inside information as to why they uh they held it in that

01:03:50.420 forum in that way we have buzzed when will you be in iceland my country is going down the walk train

01:03:58.900 i will be actually today earlier today at two o'clock i taped a one hour chat with frosty i can't remember

01:04:08.980 his last name who is a big podcaster uh in iceland and one of the reasons why we wanted to hold several

01:04:17.700 uh media events is because the walksters in iceland have gone completely crazy

01:04:23.780 you know the the extremist professor that the zionist extremist militant you know jew is coming

01:04:31.300 and so on uh yeah i'm none of those things obviously but uh so i'll be there i think my

01:04:39.300 event is june 2nd uh the tickets are available to purchase uh i will be at the i mean i don't

01:04:47.140 remember the name of the place but it's a very very fancy beautiful venue uh and so yeah please tell

01:04:52.900 your friends bring them along there's going to be i think book signings all kinds of things uh

01:04:58.100 i'll be speaking for quite a long time i'm not sure if there'll be a q a period but yeah it's a big

01:05:03.060 event uh i was hoping to stay longer in iceland then i i but i will end up doing only because i then

01:05:11.060 have to immediately leave to go to england i was also supposed to actually go to wales to speak at a

01:05:18.900 huge festival there but then i wasn't able to fit that into the schedule so there you have it so early

01:05:25.140 june please show up okay solely one two three four awd2 would you speak with a decorated sniper

01:05:33.860 on his podcast h hour hosted by you keir he has around 10 000 subs on all his social media

01:05:41.140 he's also had big names like nigel farage dr mark gordon his podcast is growing uh listen send me

01:05:49.540 email me email me the invite uh i usually try to at the very least answer everybody or at least my

01:05:56.980 executive coordinator will answer uh so we i certainly try to read everything and oftentimes

01:06:05.460 answer everything most of the time i can't promise you that i that i will but uh i'd be i'd be happy to

01:06:11.940 consider it so thank you for that uh by the way i don't know if you you said sniper just to excite me

01:06:18.980 i i just i i mean i guess anybody would think snipers are cool but there's something quite magical

01:06:25.300 about snipers the way that they are able to slowly get close to the target while being completely

01:06:31.060 camouflaged control their breathing hit a target from i don't know whatever a thousand feet away there's

01:06:37.620 something uh really almost mythically heroic about snipers so well played well played okay let's keep

01:06:46.020 going by the way i had rob o'neill who killed bin laden on my show a couple of years ago so uh one of

01:06:53.220 the things that that i'm most proud about is uh when i receive fan email from people in the military

01:07:04.820 because if i'm impressing those guys and if you know if i'm going to war with those guys i'd much

01:07:10.260 rather have them be happy about my work than some uppity stanford professor with a progressive lisp

01:07:17.220 who's castrated so keep bringing me that military love i love it okay

01:07:28.340 uh i'm just looking at some of the comments i wish i could read all of this so many cool stuff

01:07:32.020 okay tobias magnus would you consider entering a debate about the israel conflict with gabor matty

01:07:38.500 norman finkelstein and dave smith all jewish oh yeah okay because they're jewish that must mean i should

01:07:46.260 talk to them look my general uh position on debates it's not as though i haven't been on platforms with

01:07:55.620 people that are very hostile i mean my entire academic career has been navigating a bunch of hostile

01:08:02.020 assholes so that's not the problem it's um i can be i'm you know i'm a honey badger so it's not as

01:08:09.220 though i'm i'm afraid of combat i don't debate folks like these degenerates because there is no there's

01:08:16.660 nothing that i could ever say i mean literally there is nothing there is no evidence no statement no logic no

01:08:24.180 reason no historical facts no canonical facts nothing that i could ever offer that would make them move one

01:08:33.380 millimeter

01:08:36.420 what's the point of a debate then the point of a debate is that both you and i can go into the ring

01:08:41.380 and there is some modicum of likelihood that you might be able to convince me i mean i'm not saying

01:08:48.420 you're going to convince me a hundred percent full throttle that i'm going to suddenly i used to be

01:08:54.580 pro israel and now i'm going to be free free palestine but i might say hey that's a great point

01:09:00.340 i hadn't thought of it this way and i think i agree with you uh i'd like to think that i am someone

01:09:05.620 not i'd like to think i know that i am uh someone who is open to listening uh to other viewpoints and

01:09:12.340 where i think it's appropriate to do so i'll revise my opinion none of these guys would ever

01:09:18.340 alter their opinions so i wouldn't debate them not because they're beneath me to debate or anything

01:09:24.740 like that not at all i mean i have debates on the internet with random eggs that have three followers

01:09:30.260 so that's not the point and by the way that was the whole point when i did the clip about douglas

01:09:36.100 murray shouldn't use credentialism right just debate people on their ideas but these guys i'm

01:09:42.020 never going to be able to change them on anything they are dishonest interlocutors and therefore

01:09:47.780 there's no point in debating them so the answer is no okay let's keep going

01:09:53.940 all right we're warming up here people martin thomas would you be open to visiting the uae or bahrain

01:10:02.020 uh look i would be in the sense that look i'm my mother tongue is arabic i love arabic culture

01:10:10.500 uh i have a lot more in common in terms of culture with fellow arabs who are not jewish than i do with

01:10:17.220 a polish jew from a cultural ethnic perspective in that sense so i would love to go to uae i would love

01:10:24.180 to go to bahrain i've been invited to those places i've been invited to abu dhabi the problem is can i truly

01:10:32.820 can you truly guarantee my safety not just oh because i'm jewish because i am gadsad because could

01:10:41.300 there be someone who got upset that i said something that that was that appeared to be anti-hamas or pro

01:10:48.660 israel or pro-jewish or anti-islam or whatever it is and that that maniac could you know attack me so

01:10:56.420 it's only in that sense that i experienced some trepidation but in terms of in the abstract would

01:11:02.740 i love to go there a hundred percent i i think if we get rid of all of this ancient hatreds in the

01:11:10.740 middle east and allow the cultural richness to be unleashed onto the world to be freed that region

01:11:21.380 would be miraculous because it is the cradle of civilization it is the the the historical cultural

01:11:29.140 archaeological uh richness of the area is only tampered by all of this conflict unleash that

01:11:38.980 release that free free us of all that my god it will be unbelievable so in a dream world absolutely i

01:11:47.220 would love to go there i would love to be sitting down with all of my fellow brothers bedouins saudis

01:11:54.420 whatever and just laughing joking eating good food riding camels i don't know anything you want i i love

01:12:02.820 it so that's what people some people don't get i harbor no hatred i love that i'm from an arabic country

01:12:10.980 again arabic is my mother tongue it's not hebrew okay but do i think that there are

01:12:17.060 some religious elements in the region that are problematic yes would it be better if we can

01:12:23.380 kind of move those ideologies into the 21st century secularize everything yes so sign me up if you could

01:12:32.580 guarantee me a hundred percent my safety i would be delighted to go to that region by the way just

01:12:37.860 recently i appeared on al arabia which is a saudi owned major arguably the biggest platform in the middle

01:12:49.860 east i did two-part show with riz khan amazing guy muslim background riz khan used to be uh you know

01:12:58.900 top guy at the bbc top guy at international global cnn incredibly elegant incredibly bright gracious he

01:13:07.060 came here to montreal to film me in person we did two hours of discussion at in on al arabia where i am

01:13:15.700 critiquing islam so there are real real

01:13:19.380 lights of optimism that i'm seeing you've got the crown prince of saudi arabia that's really trying

01:13:26.740 to modernize the society right he came out and said i don't want to hear about palestinian causes

01:13:31.700 they're not that's that stuff is not welcome here i care about saudi my saudi people i care about

01:13:37.220 modernizing saudi arabia right so even though yes of course he's an islamic leader but he is trying to look

01:13:44.180 forward into a a world where you know people can just get along without all this nonsense so all this

01:13:52.740 to say i would love to visit i would love to visit oman oman has some gorgeous i mean there are some

01:13:59.220 places in oman with you've got the the red kind of uh rock formations that goes into a gorgeous sea who

01:14:08.740 doesn't want to go there you know what kind of richness you have there topographically

01:14:13.060 uh in terms of just the history of course and also in terms of me just being able to go there and

01:14:20.420 just speak in arabic and be my arabic self don't give a shit if you're jewish christian muslim whatever

01:14:27.860 but you gotta make it safe so i wish one of the biggest regrets i have in my life is that i haven't

01:14:33.220 been able to return to lebanon and that i haven't been able to take my kids to lebanon they've never

01:14:38.660 been they don't speak arabic that's devastatingly tragic so there you go okay let's keep going

01:14:47.380 eric patty thank you for the donation let's keep going let's keep going garbled words while i

01:14:55.300 appreciate your criticism of mate could you expand on your thoughts on cptsd role of early neglect and

01:15:02.180 abuse on foundation beliefs and adult thriving distinction has a greeting that you say during

01:15:11.780 jewish holidays uh just means in hebrew you know thank you thank you very much

01:15:21.220 uh i don't know i don't know what you mean by cpt i'm assuming you mean the his uh his trauma stuff

01:15:28.260 it so i'm going to assume that that's what you mean uh

01:15:34.980 gabor mate is a moron is that was that too undiplomatic gabor mate

01:15:44.820 is the guy who you know the old expression to the one who's holding a hammer everything looks like a

01:15:50.340 nail so everything so you gained weight and now you're fat it's rooted in childhood trauma

01:16:00.660 you got divorced because you're repeatedly uh cheating on your wife that's rooted in childhood

01:16:07.460 trauma you're having sexual dysfunction problems and you can't get it up in the bedroom that's childhood

01:16:15.300 trauma everything and anything you have autoimmune disease childhood trauma cancer childhood trauma

01:16:23.540 asthma childhood trauma diabetes childhood trauma lack of self-esteem childhood trauma that's what we fought

01:16:32.260 against with all the freudian stuff and defeated that stuff freud thought everything was due to

01:16:38.660 sexual repression and a lot of the childhood dynamics and then we know that nearly 99 of

01:16:46.660 the shit that he said was complete nonsense freud was very important in in putting the unconscious mind

01:16:54.420 on the map that's great he deserves all the credit but the content of his theorizing was straight

01:16:59.940 off science fiction oh you have ocd that's because you had a schizophrenic mother who didn't hug you

01:17:06.100 enough it's just nonsense it's because you are trying to kill your father to sodomize your mother it's

01:17:12.660 rooted in the oedipal complex nonsense garbage but it had psychoanalysts making a lot of money for

01:17:23.220 50 60 70 years from the time of freud until about 20 30 years ago when it fell out of fashion gabor mate

01:17:30.100 is a product of that right he latched on to some by the way and again i'm not i'm not trying to imply

01:17:36.100 that it's it's your credentials that determine it gabor mate has no training in psychology or

01:17:42.020 psychiatry but he's a physician therefore he knows about what ails the body and he knows that all

01:17:48.660 ailments lie in in childhood trauma well motherfucker very few people have had the childhood trauma that i

01:17:55.860 had in the lebanese civil war why am i not cheating on my wife why haven't i picked up diabetes yet why

01:18:02.180 don't i have sexual dysfunction why have i not developed arthritis all of those things are due to

01:18:08.820 childhood trauma yes well i've had childhood trauma i haven't had those so there is nothing

01:18:14.580 that is scientific based in what he said as a matter of fact several uh scientific takedowns of

01:18:20.100 his bullshit have arisen right what do you mean by childhood trauma if my favorite soccer team lost in

01:18:26.260 the world cup final would that be childhood trauma do i have to be sodomized by priests for it to be

01:18:31.540 childhood trauma if my mother refused me a second burger at burger king would that be childhood trauma

01:18:37.780 everything is childhood drama nothing is childhood trauma everything is due to childhood drama you're

01:18:43.380 full of shit but he's a holocaust survivor you see how now i'm speaking sadly and you know by the way he's

01:18:52.020 a holocaust survivor in that he was in his dad's testicles when the holocaust was happening in that

01:18:59.940 sense he's a holocaust survivor so get the f out of here with mate like a bullshitter all right let's go on

01:19:09.460 oops was that new gad or old gad new gad should have been sweeter on this passover season

01:19:16.820 the onyx codex i'll be honest gad at some point in the future if i have to choose between muslims

01:19:22.740 and ai presuming the ai's values are aligned with ours i will choose artificial intelligence over

01:19:27.620 muslims that's a statement it has no questions go with god habibi go with god we got solely one two

01:19:36.020 three four a w d two i'm mostly bedridden due to illness and may never recover due to chronic fatigue

01:19:44.820 i'm in my late 20s and haven't really lived any advice oh my god first of all i'm infinitely sorry i'm

01:19:52.500 not sure uh oh due to chronic fatigue okay i guess that's kind of an umbrella term uh first my thoughts

01:20:01.620 go out with you at least i hope your mind fully functions you're here with us i i wish i had good

01:20:10.900 advice for you i could give you i guess one advice that relates to bedridden issues and i discussed

01:20:18.740 this in the last chapter of the happiness book the sad truth about happiness where i tell the story

01:20:24.820 of david mccallum who was a gentleman who came on my show uh one of the most extraordinary guys i had on

01:20:32.500 my show not a famous guy not a famous scientist not a well-known politician or whatever

01:20:38.660 but he spent 29 years in prison for a murder that eventually he was exonerated of of the murder

01:20:48.820 and as we were chatting i said to him you know you're a much better man than i am because you seem so

01:20:58.500 lacking in vengefulness and vindictiveness you seem so well adjusted so you know not full of fury which i

01:21:08.180 think most of us would i mean i said i would want to burn the world down if three decades of my life

01:21:14.900 were stolen from me i don't not sure how i could survive you must be the buddha mr mccallum and then

01:21:22.340 he said you know i don't think i had it so bad i have a sister who's bedridden hence not unlike what

01:21:31.700 you're facing who's bedridden due to cerebral palsy and she finds the ability to smile despite her you

01:21:41.380 know situation and so feud in that context wasn't so bad for me and i just couldn't believe it i mean

01:21:49.860 and that's why i put it in the book because here's a guy who certainly has every possible justification

01:21:58.820 to hate the world three decades of his life were stolen from him and yet he looks at somebody else

01:22:08.980 says hey that person has it worse than me so it's not so bad what i have hey i still hope to be a

01:22:15.220 father so i think what you have to do and and i almost feel uh uh it's insulting for me to say this

01:22:22.980 to you as as you're the one who's suffering but i hope my words give you a tiny bit of solace i think

01:22:29.380 there's always something that you could look even in very tragic circumstances and say you know what i'm

01:22:36.260 here right now you and i are in communion we're communicating we don't know each other but yet i just

01:22:45.380 heard of your condition i'm offering some words the world is magical we're all united six degrees of

01:22:52.580 separation life is magical we're here for a very short time and so whatever you're going through

01:22:59.540 tomorrow is a new day i hope i've given you a tiny bit of solace and i hope you find some sort of peace

01:23:08.500 that's the best i can do all right let's go on it's kind of hard to pivot from such a difficult

01:23:15.140 topic to something else uh let me go back i think i skipped some so i want to go back and

01:23:21.540 make sure that i haven't missed anything okay hold on hold on hold on

01:23:29.940 uh wait stay with me oh my god i've got so many in the in the queue i don't know why it just goes

01:23:38.340 goes down and there's got to be a better way to to time this hold on okay there are too many uh hold

01:23:46.020 hold on not not too many keep them coming if i have to stay here for five hours i don't care

01:23:50.260 okay i don't know now what happened but um i hope i didn't miss any the one that i see right now

01:23:57.940 is danny 7190 msw masters of social work with desire for psychology background research experience

01:24:06.340 to progress in my career and clinical practice any advice regarding non-woke phd programs no i can't this

01:24:12.020 this look i appreciate those kinds of questions but i would need to know a lot more about your

01:24:17.540 unique research interests your unique focus uh so there isn't a singular answer oh here are the three

01:24:25.300 non-woke phd programs uh there are woke assholes in every phd program there are a few non-woke people

01:24:33.460 but it depends on your own unique interests so unfortunately i can't give you a an answer that

01:24:38.820 would be satisfying without delving a lot more into your unique situation uh

01:24:46.420 tilrin an incredible donation if i'm recognizing the number there thank you so much hey god just

01:24:52.340 finished the parasitic mind brilliant thank you sir noticing a pattern your books go from

01:24:57.700 affective self-regulation to cognitive parasites to emotional over activation will the next explore

01:25:05.620 endo symbiotic ideas that help us thrive holy moly that's a lot of multi-syllabic words i like it

01:25:13.700 my my fans and readers are some of the coolest uh well let me put it this way i i may not put it

01:25:21.700 using the umbrella terms that you used but the parasitic mind was what happens to our cognitive

01:25:28.420 system when it is parasitized when it's zombified but we are a thinking and feeling animal so and

01:25:34.580 you're hinting at that in your question so if the parasitic mind talks about the the the parasitic

01:25:41.220 infestation of our cognitive system my next book suicidal empathy talks about the parasitic infestation

01:25:49.460 of our emotional system so it completes the zombification story for me to truly parasitize you

01:25:56.580 i have to zombify your cognition and your emotions and hence i complete the story so stay tuned for

01:26:03.300 suicidal empathy going on to the next person world wed au i'd still love to know your thoughts on changes

01:26:10.580 to hate speech laws in victoria australia if you've had a chance to take a look all the best professor and

01:26:15.060 the wedding invitation still stands oh my god i'm i must admit i'm i'm a bit lost about the wedding

01:26:21.460 invitation i'm not sure what that refers to i do know because you mentioned victoria just yesterday

01:26:31.380 i read an email from a woman in melbourne her husband is a professor in melbourne he's a surgeon

01:26:43.220 and uh he apparently is a fan and they'd like to invite me for a conversation in melbourne australia

01:26:49.460 so i don't know if you're that person i don't think so i don't know enough about the hate speech

01:26:54.100 laws in victoria or what you're specifically alluding to but i do know that australia is

01:26:59.620 very very woke-ified and so i would love an opportunity to return to australia by the way

01:27:06.420 2001 my first sabbatical leave ever my wife and i didn't have children yet i went on a seven week

01:27:14.660 sabbatical leave uh well the sabbatical leave was a year but seven weeks of which i went to australia

01:27:21.940 and new zealand spent five weeks in australia two weeks in new zealand i don't think i would

01:27:26.900 be exaggerating and saying it was the greatest trip of my life and largely due to the magic of those two

01:27:34.420 countries ridiculously good coffee the day we arrive to sydney australia after you know i don't know what 30

01:27:43.780 hour journey we put our stuff away at king's cross for those of you who know sydney not a very it's a

01:27:50.020 rather weird area we start walking we're zombies we're tired but we just want to get out and explore

01:27:58.100 we land at this cafe i order a flat white having never had a flat white and i suddenly found god again

01:28:06.660 because that flat white was the singular greatest cup of coffee i've ever had in my life and i've been

01:28:13.700 chasing that high ever since so to my australian fans put together the money raise the funds invite

01:28:21.780 dr good looks to australia i'll be there in a heartbeat but make it worth my while thank you so

01:28:27.060 much world wed au going on to solid one two three four awd2 who comes back how can we make sure we don't miss

01:28:35.220 live stream found this by chance well i i i pin it as a alert on my x feed then i take a screenshot of it

01:28:44.500 and i post it all over my social media and i've been doing so repeatedly for 10 days so i'm not exactly sure

01:28:50.900 what more i could do uh i hope that you at least subscribe to my uh or at least your uh follower

01:28:58.020 on on my x feed because then you would certainly not miss the fact that uh you know i'm holding these

01:29:05.140 and i definitely have to hold them more often it's it really is a function of only time uh if i had more

01:29:11.700 time uh i would do them certainly once a week because it's such a cool way to to connect with people

01:29:18.820 and to really build a a new engaged audience uh i also do have by the way a subscriber uh it's a

01:29:26.740 small fee like i think five six bucks per month or whatever it is where you get access to exclusive

01:29:32.980 content so i will post book recommendations or uh academic articles that i really love and stuff like

01:29:39.860 that on my x feed for subscribers so that's another place that you can go to okay let's keep going

01:29:46.820 i'm i'm i'm i'm so panicking that i could have missed anybody i hope not hi gad where do i meet

01:29:52.260 conservative people in montreal where everyone seems to be liberal love the parasitic mind by the

01:29:57.380 way thank you very much uh i don't know of specific gatherings of conservatives uh you know i tend to be

01:30:06.820 very much someone who has a very small circle of friends that i trust uh because i'm so much in the

01:30:14.020 public i don't go out to a lot of these gatherings and clubs because half my life is spent lecturing

01:30:20.820 and meeting people and media and so on so once i am in my hometown i tend to generally be a rather

01:30:29.060 homebody i prefer to be with my with my family with my wife with my kids so i couldn't tell you about

01:30:35.140 conservative clubs and so on but i'm sure you can find them if you if you look for them all right moving on

01:30:41.060 uh our ham blanket ban from muslim countries or vet them

01:30:53.060 look uh all good things in moderation uh i think you need to make sure that the number of people that

01:31:00.580 come from cultures that are otherwise antithetical to our values has to be limited so that there is never

01:31:08.260 any demographic uh threats to the whole society it's as simple as that i don't know how you can

01:31:15.620 vet people there is no machine that has been developed that we can put you through to really

01:31:20.580 know what's in your heart and mind right if if you're gonna if you're gonna ask people a questionnaire

01:31:26.020 then it's not going to be very difficult to be able to game that and and say whatever needs to be said

01:31:32.020 so that you could be allowed in so no i'm not a proponent of vetting i'm a proponent of smart and

01:31:38.820 optimal uh immigration policies in all the ways that that might be relevant okay let's keep going rosa

01:31:49.940 rosa hollander can we really fight anti-semitism i mean yes and no i think that bigotry in general is a

01:31:58.500 regrettable feature of the darkness of the human heart anti-semitism is uh a unique manifestation

01:32:08.820 of hatred and bigotry and there are all sorts of reasons for why jew hatred is unique amongst the

01:32:16.420 constellation of bigotry all bigotry is horrible but certainly there's something unique about jew

01:32:22.900 hatred uh it waxes and wane yes you can create cultural values that makes it somewhat less

01:32:31.780 acceptable to openly uh uh espouse jew hating positions that's what we had in the west for a

01:32:39.780 while but as you saw it takes very little for then the jew hatred to come back with full aplomb

01:32:47.220 so i don't think you're ever going to create a vaccine that eradicates fully jew hatred but

01:32:53.300 hopefully you could rein it in currently we're experiencing an orgy a tsunami of jew hatred very

01:33:00.420 very worrisome uh genamb g-e-n-a-m-b what can cure the canadian jealousy of murica i don't think anything

01:33:10.980 because i think it's part of the canadian ethos to define ourselves contra our really mean southern

01:33:18.660 cousins and so i think there's always going to be a a this tension between the bigger brother and the

01:33:26.820 smaller brother that the classic sibling rivalry because ultimately we're always well of course we've

01:33:34.500 got our unique beautiful culture and country and topography and so on uh we're always going to be

01:33:43.620 in the shadow of big mean cousin to the south or brother to the south so i think it's part of the

01:33:50.740 fabric of canadian reality sun wu kong regarding the seeming rise of anti-semitism in the west is it

01:33:59.060 more of the same or the reaction to orthodox thinking the last century ps my rosh yeshiva used

01:34:05.220 the term for tsundoku oh and he look at it right here tsundoku tsundoku uh is a is sort of a obsessive

01:34:17.300 bibliophile who engages in endless collecting of books and when i once described my very very serious

01:34:26.260 affliction of uh tsundoku it's a japanese word then the fan sent me this thing that you see

01:34:33.540 right here look what kind of fans i have it's unbelievable uh what is the what causes the rise

01:34:38.820 of anti-semitism i i won't repeat it here i've discussed it in many many forms you can perhaps go

01:34:44.100 and listen to i think my chat with barry weiss i certainly discussed some of this stuff and so there

01:34:50.900 are it's a multi-faceted uh set of reasons uh but hey i love the fact that you brought in

01:34:59.140 uh sunduco into the discussion okay let's keep going uh okay what do we got god i wish i could

01:35:05.860 read all these comments all right do we have anything oh we've got bartolome esteban comes

01:35:10.900 back dr dr sad something more for your troubles i've read about assortative mating how powerful is it i

01:35:17.700 understand we subconsciously are done to people who are similar to us in many important ways

01:35:21.140 have a good night cheers have a good night as well and again thank you for your unbelievable grace

01:35:27.060 every single time that i read one of your messages it's as if i'm taken back to an era 200 years ago

01:35:34.580 where people wrote handwritten letters with all sorts of beautiful salutations and so your parents raised

01:35:42.020 you're right my good man or woman i'm not sure if it's a man or a woman uh assortative mating as i

01:35:48.500 mentioned earlier is the idea that uh we tend to prefer as for spouses people who are similar to us

01:35:58.820 who are similar on important foundational life values and objectives and so on uh the research is really

01:36:08.580 unequivocal it's quite clear by the way assortative mating need not only apply for values for example

01:36:14.820 we we engage in assortative mating when it comes to height meaning that it is almost impossible to see

01:36:23.700 naturally occurring couples where the man is shorter than the woman as a matter of fact there was a study

01:36:29.140 done now several decades ago where they took i think it was 720 couples like real couples and i can't

01:36:38.420 remember if it was one or two out of the 720 where that relationship was violated where the man was

01:36:47.460 shorter than the woman so yes women will say they they like tall guys but certainly what they want

01:36:55.620 is a taller guy so if a woman is five foot two she could well be with a five foot eight guy and that's

01:37:02.260 fine but if the woman is five foot ten that same five foot eight guy who may be handsome and gorgeous

01:37:09.060 and athletic and funny and accomplished and a professor of neurosurgery suddenly his five foot

01:37:17.700 eight height becomes a bit more of a problem because the woman is taller so yes assortative mating is the

01:37:24.020 the game in town when it comes to human mating okay honey vidal message retracted okay but thank you for

01:37:32.020 your uh donation uh soon wu kong comes back carl benjamin and his lotus eaters believe that marxism

01:37:40.820 is the natural step from secular liberalism thoughts i also sadly rob o'neill and seals aren't who they say they

01:37:51.780 are oh boy i don't know about that uh you're talking about rob o'neill the gentleman that i referred to

01:37:58.100 earlier who was part of the team six of the navy seals who had killed uh bin laden i don't know what

01:38:07.220 you're referring to here uh marxism is the natural step from secular liberalism i i'm not sure that the only

01:38:16.820 way that you get to marxism is through secular liberalism uh as a matter of fact i think that

01:38:23.460 there are you know several cases where marxist ideology uh infiltrated the society where it wasn't

01:38:31.620 necessarily the consequence of secular liberalism but i i get the general idea the idea is that

01:38:39.700 when you have uh secularism therefore you have a loss of religion and therefore something else has to

01:38:46.180 come and fill the void in this case i'm assuming the argument goes that marxism becomes akin to a

01:38:51.700 quasi-religion i'm not sure if that's the argument you're trying to make all i could say is that marxism is

01:38:57.780 perfectly anti-human nature and that uh human beings did not evolve to exist in social systems

01:39:08.420 that are defined by marxism or socialism or communism to repeat a quote that i've often said

01:39:16.740 when eo wilson who is who recently passed away who is a entomologist who was an entomologist from

01:39:24.340 harvard who's he studied social ants when he was asked about communism and socialism he said great idea

01:39:30.260 wrong species meaning that while ants are communistic human beings are not while ants are marxist

01:39:38.100 human beings are not and so the reason why marxism has failed everywhere that it's been tried is

01:39:43.220 precisely because it is anti-human nature all right let's keep by the way i have been on

01:39:50.420 carl benjamin's show on a few occasions and i think he's been on my show once if i'm not mistaken great guy

01:39:58.420 really like him all right here we go let's keep going

01:40:02.580 vlad hello professor gad do you know anything about ancient jewish polytheistic religions if

01:40:10.260 yes can you please provide some literature about the topic no i don't know about jewish polytheistic

01:40:16.660 religions uh what i do know is that judaism was the first monotheistic abrahamic religion but i don't know

01:40:26.100 about what could have preceded it and i'm not sure how we would use the term jewish which is a

01:40:32.740 monotheistic abrahamic religion with polytheism so you'd have to educate me about that i don't know

01:40:39.140 i don't know about that yusuf altimimi is back for round through round three thank you for replying and

01:40:45.700 you did not upset me just want to say i saw your last appearance on joe rogan and learned from you so

01:40:50.900 thank you oh shukran habibi i'm assuming based based on your name you speak arabic

01:40:56.580 anjad shukran uh truthfully thank you uh lev kush narev what do you say to those who vote

01:41:09.060 who vote for carney cv uh they're idiots first of all we know that

01:41:16.660 allegedly his doctoral dissertation is full of plagiarism uh he's not when i've heard him speak

01:41:25.620 he certainly not i was not impressed by anything that he said so the fact that he supposedly has

01:41:32.900 a good educational pedigree doesn't mean that uh you're going to be a good prime minister uh

01:41:40.660 justin trudeau did not have a good educational pedigree his highest uh job that he had achieved

01:41:47.060 was to be a substitute drama teacher before he entered politics on the on the wave of his father's

01:41:53.700 last name uh so i don't think that we should judge the value and the likely success of politicians

01:42:02.020 based on their pedigree because if that were the case then i should be the emperor of the universe

01:42:08.020 because i've got all of the academic pedigree that anyone could ever have but that's not what's

01:42:13.460 necessarily important i mean look it's nice to be educated but there are many many other things that

01:42:18.900 we look for in our politicians certainly a politician who is not parasitized by all of this globalist

01:42:25.620 bullshit uh is one that would do canada a service so there you have it regarding carney

01:42:32.340 uh south satarion i don't know if i said that correctly love you gad love you right back thank

01:42:40.260 you i'm a christian that recently learned that i have jewish blood i seen you recently posted a

01:42:45.220 picture of you in synagogue are you picking your faith back up you know a lot of people there was a

01:42:50.500 period where i spoke out against religious intrusion in science where you know it it seemed as though i'm

01:43:00.660 hostile to religion oh god is jewish but he's an atheist i don't like that appellation because it kind of

01:43:08.580 removes in people's minds my jewish identity no i'm as jewish as can be that doesn't mean though that i

01:43:20.100 subscribe to all of the religious practices inherent to judaism so for example i don't take seriously

01:43:29.700 the edict that we shouldn't eat shrimp right not because again as i said i practice some milder form

01:43:36.340 of judaism it's because you know rightly or wrongly i don't think that these rituals truly come from god

01:43:47.060 oh lord okay i'm doing a hebrew prayer uh i don't think that this little little tiny rock

01:44:00.020 in the grand universe of which god is the ruler of the entire universe really cares that i don't eat

01:44:07.700 prosciutto there are very earthly reasons why those kosher edicts would have arisen very biological

01:44:16.260 reasons very evolutionary reasons and i discussed those by the way in the consuming instinct my 2011

01:44:24.180 book which you should all read right now go buy it if you haven't donated or even if you have donated

01:44:29.860 go buy the sad truth about happiness make me happy buy my happiness book make me happy why because it's

01:44:36.500 it's a fun read it's a great read but anyways so in that sense i am atheistic to this notion that there

01:44:45.140 is a ruler who you know is but that doesn't take away from the fact that judaism is a multi-faceted

01:44:54.500 construct there is a shared religious heritage there is a shared ethnicity there is a peoples a real

01:45:01.300 historical people right i have green eyes it makes part of my identity coming from a jewish heritage as

01:45:09.940 part of my identity it's one of many parts of my identity but it's there so i don't like this thing

01:45:14.740 have you have i have i returned to my faith to to look at your exact question uh yes in some sense

01:45:23.780 right so for example i could have gone on years now without ever mentioning anything about israel or

01:45:29.540 anti-jewish hatred and so on but october 7th forced me to care again about my judaism right but for

01:45:36.900 years i could have gone on never ever mentioning anything about being jewish or not or about pro-israel

01:45:42.180 or anti-israel you could go through my x feed and not see a single tweet about israel for 10 straight years

01:45:49.300 but because the jew haters really care about my judaism then it becomes incumbent on me

01:45:56.020 to in a sense stand up and be counted for so in that sense there is a a a commitment

01:46:04.020 to the jewish cause because we're real people i know that i had to wear really good running shoes

01:46:09.460 to outrun those who wanted to kill us in lebanon and in that sense yes of course it is always part of

01:46:15.060 me but it's not oh i've decided to now uh you know no longer eat prosciutto because i suddenly want to be

01:46:23.220 more jewish uh it's very hard for someone to have lived their judaism more than i have so uh but yes

01:46:29.700 you are right you did see me at the synagogue i was putting on the tfilin because i am jewish i do come

01:46:36.180 from a you know a hardcore orthodox jewish lebanese arabic background and it was my son's bar mitzvah

01:46:45.140 and the dad you put on your tfilin so in that sense yes i did it do you speak hebrew

01:46:52.500 anime dabber ivrit aval lotov i do speak hebrew but not well i can't have a deep philosophical

01:46:58.020 conversation but you throw me in israel in six months and i will be maimonides all right where

01:47:05.300 are we at boy we're approaching two hours but i'm loving it okay soli one two three four awd two comes

01:47:30.660 show would you bring you here on your show sniper that took part in siege of musa kalla voted one of

01:47:36.180 the great battles in uk history by the national army museum taliban were bribed one million dollar

01:48:12.420 for those of you who don't know was a purging of iraqi jews and i think 1937 if i'm not mistaken

01:48:20.980 uh and so that's what he's referring to he his family meaning his ancestors a couple of generations

01:49:36.180 dollar is only worth 88 cents canadian but i love you anyway well thank you for that it's it's i remember

01:49:45.140 when i was a first uh first semester doctoral student at cornell university i took a course uh

01:49:51.780 offered by professor richard thaler who ended up winning the nobel prize in 2017 in behavioral economics

01:49:59.460 uh unbelievable course i took with him uh and at one point he was joking oh you're you're canadian

01:50:06.580 gad right uh yeah yes professor he goes but the i mean your money is not it's fake money right it's

01:50:11.540 monopoly money i always remember that joke and uh so it's nice to know that our lowly canadian dollar

01:50:18.980 is at least stronger than some currency my apologies for that david masih next all right here we go

01:50:47.380 i said before hold on a second sorry guys oh yeah here we go okay here we go next

01:50:56.020 martin thomas asad in syria before our spring was not too bad i mean it depends what you mean i mean

01:51:04.420 as i said earlier when you have a strong dictator it often creates stability in a society because you

01:51:15.060 need that strong strong armed dictator to keep other types of extremists at bay and so i knew that when

01:51:25.620 uh half it uh half is that half is that i said was the father when uh when the son was uh you know forced

01:51:36.180 to leave you know a lot of people were woohoo we're free of the dictator i'm like yeah we'll wait till you

01:51:41.300 see what comes next as we saw so it's not that one is endorsing this brutal dictator but it's that in

01:51:49.300 that region you know oftentimes the devil that you know is better than the one that you've yet to meet

01:51:55.860 so there you go okay martin thomas comes back syria used to get millions of tourists yes by the way i

01:52:01.700 have syrian ancestry i mean very recent ancestry right uh so before from up so my parents are lebanese

01:52:11.460 some grandparents are lebanese but then some are syrian and then came to lebanon and so yes there used

01:52:18.660 to be a by the way uh i mean sizable not sizable but a small syrian jewish community which of course

01:52:26.180 course now has also disappeared so yes syria uh all of these regions to my earlier point i mean i mean

01:52:33.620 damascus i think if i'm not mistaken might be the longest consistently existing city in the history of

01:52:41.780 the world or some number like this i mean it's you know it's thousands of i mean the richness in those

01:52:48.580 lands is astounding imagine if you get rid of all this bullshit everything i mean yes people

01:52:56.100 can still retain you know there's there are wonderful things in in islamic history islamic

01:53:02.340 architecture islamic poetry islamic arithmetic mathematics philosophy there is christian tradition

01:53:11.780 there's jewish traditions zoroastrian right so if you could keep all that rich history but remove all of

01:53:21.460 the hateful tribalism of the region my god could you imagine that we can all go visit all those

01:53:28.260 beautiful countries without worrying that we are jewish christian as muslim and so on unbelievable what

01:53:54.260 through a tough time asks you for advice and you always feel like i'm gonna offer them something i

01:54:00.740 think it should be helpful but i don't know am i an asshole for even thinking that i could offer

01:54:06.820 any words of solace to someone who's going through such a difficult period and so for me to hear that

01:56:16.740 400 000 imagine if i can just open this up once a day once a week hundreds of thousands of people

01:56:24.580 come and we just have a lecture to the world and i could be financially free to just do this just be a

01:56:33.860 true professor of the people unbeholden to anyone other than to ideas and to my global

01:56:55.220 on the camera and i say hey guys all right let's talk ideas we meet every monday and wednesday for two

01:57:01.860 hours and that would give me all the financial freedom to be able to write books do this and

01:57:08.900 nothing else what a dream help me make it happen okay let's keep going all right are we running out

01:57:17.620 of questions i don't think so let's keep going oh here we go mocus focus do you think it's going to

01:57:25.940 take people going through something something to see the problems we face today as a society as a whole

01:57:31.460 like october 7th and 9 11 you know i wish i could say that a terrible tragedy wakes people up

01:57:39.140 but we we know that it hasn't what happened after 9 11 all of our leaders once hey islam is peace

01:57:46.020 islam is peace this has nothing to do with islam muhammad ahmad muhammad muhammad and muhammad

01:57:51.540 and muhammad and muhammad and ahmad and muhammad all of whom said that they are doing this because of

01:57:55.860 their religion has nothing to do with their religion islam is peaceful let's let in millions more

01:58:01.300 it didn't wake people up it actually made it much worse in the west so i'm not sure that there is

01:58:09.140 any reality that people can face that will wake them up which by the way is one of the main sources

01:58:15.380 whenever i'm feeling pessimistic i'm a very optimistic guy and by nature i'm a happy guy i'm a

01:58:20.500 happy warrior uh by disposition but i look around i say god damn it what is it going to take for the west to

01:58:27.540 wake up so i'm not sure look after october 7th the jew hatred increase or decrease certainly increased

01:58:35.700 how could it be that the murder rape beheading burning of 1200 people resulted in an increase in

01:58:43.380 jew hatred but it did so i don't know i don't know if i'm optimistic they look you should society

01:58:53.460 economic administration continue to subsidize economic inequality if yes why if not what would

01:58:58.980 ennobler human quality than economic efficiency to select for be uh no i don't think that uh it is

01:59:06.420 incumbent on uh people to subsidize quote economic inequality if economic inequality is due to

01:59:16.740 institutional reasons right like let's suppose you say people who are under five foot eight should not

01:59:25.060 have high paying jobs so that the income of shorter people is due to institutionalized bigotry then i say

01:59:35.860 yes we need to fix that right we used to have misogyny against women we used to have slavery we used to have

01:59:43.780 in during passover right now we are celebrating the israelites exodus from slavery by the pharaohs by

01:59:53.140 the egyptians right so there are institutional barriers to economic prosperity but in a free society

02:00:04.420 economic inequality is simply the reality of a competitive process if i spend

02:00:11.140 all of my 20s studying so i can get a phd at cornell so i could then develop the career that i have

02:00:19.780 subsequently developed whereas you were partying and having cocaine so that when i am 60 and you

02:00:26.820 are 60 i have a lot more money than you do f you it's not for me to subsidize your personal choices

02:00:34.500 but it is that when you live in utopian socialist marxist canada because we are a kind people we don't

02:00:43.300 want some people to make more than others that's why we go to gadsad when he sells a lot of books and

02:00:48.660 say hey much of your mind your thoughts your ideas your experience your philosophizing doesn't belong to you

02:00:57.700 it belongs to the state and we will redistribute your money to everybody else if you care about

02:01:04.340 that injustice please consider supporting my work in any way that you can solely one two three four

02:01:11.140 awd2 is back not a publicist but a fan of you care okay got it last 1000 comes back oh something

02:01:21.540 happened here hold on let me go back uh sorry go back go back go back go back uh not a publicist okay

02:01:33.940 got it hi dr sad how do you find the strength to keep trying to find a job when it's been seven months

02:01:38.820 and you still can't find one should i give up no you should not give up i have a section in uh where is

02:01:47.940 it in this book go and purchase a copy now such a positive book it's part ancient wisdoms ancient

02:02:01.860 philosophers part contemporary science part my own personal anecdotes that discuss happiness and in one

02:02:10.260 of the chapters i talk about persistence and the anti-fragility of failure exactly to your question

02:02:19.620 michael jordan was cut from his high school team michael jordan lionel messi was told he's too small to

02:02:27.620 become a professional soccer player zinedine zidane the greatest french player soccer player of all time

02:02:33.380 one of the greatest soccer players of all time was told by the algerian national team coach because

02:02:39.620 zidane could have played for algeria or france the algerian coach looked at him and said ah this

02:02:43.780 guy's too slow okay steven spielberg was rejected not once not twice but three times from film school

02:02:52.980 jk rowling rejected by every publicist until the one publicist that gave her a shot she's now a

02:02:58.980 billionaire one of the greatest selling authors of all time so no don't give up

02:03:04.340 life is marshaling through a series of rejections and then boom here comes a victory okay so no do not

02:03:15.060 give up good things are ahead never ever ever ever give up never all right here we go

02:03:24.900 brendan lefton do you still intend on writing the parasitic state also hypothetically if offered would

02:03:29.700 you accept a professorship from ucla wow what a great question uh i thank you for mentioning the

02:03:36.580 parasitic state at one point i had written a post on on x and i said should i write parasitic state

02:03:43.380 or should i write parasitic taxation and within a few minutes elon writes back he goes both and i have

02:03:50.020 actually gotten an offer to write uh a book on on on those but then a bigger offer came for suicidal

02:03:58.180 empathy and so what i've decided now is to have a chapter in suicidal empathy on the parasitic state

02:04:06.260 slash parasitic taxation because what the parasitic state does to justify its its means its its way of

02:04:14.500 dealing with the population is through an appeal of empathy right and so no i don't as of now have

02:04:23.060 an entire book plan on the parasitic state but it but certainly there are hints of that in suicidal

02:04:29.620 empathy would i accept a professorship at ucla uh so the answer here is a bit complicated in the

02:04:37.460 following sense number one yes in the sense that southern california is the end all for me it's the

02:04:46.820 promised land it's not jerusalem it's southern california forgetting about the woke stuff but

02:04:54.260 here's the problem i'm no longer at a stage of my career where i want to be teaching regular classes

02:05:03.620 where i have to you know proctor tomorrow's exam and tell timmy why he got b minus in his participation

02:05:13.940 grade you know not because i'm a diva and it's beneath me but because life has a rhythm to it a

02:05:20.340 pattern right and so today i'd much rather use the the the reality that i have as part of my toolbox

02:05:28.980 to reach 10 million people rather than reach a classroom of 15 people not not that that's not

02:05:35.380 important so i i'd always want to be a professor but a traditional professor professor position at ucla

02:05:43.620 where i have to submit uh you know my progress report or whatever no i'm beyond that so really

02:05:50.500 the types of professorships i want right now are ones where they give me the type of roles that are

02:05:58.500 congruent with my profile and certainly the university that i'm currently at northwood university

02:06:05.060 has exactly done that for me right they want me to be a global ambassador they want me to promote

02:06:10.100 their northward idea which i do i am doing right now right here and they they've asked me to teach

02:06:16.820 but very very little teaching all of my teaching has happened within an eight-week period actually

02:06:21.540 tomorrow i'm teaching in the afternoon remotely uh i'm teaching a course on the parasitic mind

02:06:28.020 but that's the kind of teaching so if i were to go to ucla it would have to be under the recognition of

02:06:34.740 where i am in my career not as just some warm body who teaches consumer psychology and psychology

02:06:40.900 decision making okay let's see if we can boy i think this might be the longest one we've ever had

02:06:48.020 loudon left left night why have you been so utterly unwilling to criticize trump's tariffs and threats

02:06:54.740 of annexation it it risks making you seem ideologically possessed yourself

02:07:00.100 uh well the threat of annexation is bullshit it's trump being hyperbolic you have to be an utter degenerate

02:07:12.500 moron to think that the united states is literally going to take over canada okay it's is it am i being

02:07:21.380 polite enough you'd have to be an abject lobotomized degenerate to think that that's true this is just

02:07:30.020 trump trolling number one regarding his tariffs there are

02:07:37.780 pros and cons to using tariffs as part of a strategy certainly reciprocal tariffs is nothing that is uh

02:07:49.460 strange or inappropriate it doesn't make sense that the eu has zero opening for

02:07:59.140 american cars to be sold for american cars to be sold there but there is complete asymmetry whereby you

02:08:04.900 have a complete open market to the united states market right so what donald trump is doing is

02:08:12.820 seeking to create reciprocity reciprocity is one of the most fundamental dynamics

02:08:19.700 dynamics in terms of an evolutionarily stable game theoretic strategy it oils all dyadic relationships

02:08:32.980 anything that is not reciprocal can easily turn parasitic so the fact that i don't criticize his

02:08:40.980 tariffs is not because i am ideologically possessed it's because i have a fucking brain

02:08:47.540 good enough for you all right let's go on and if i'm getting a bit spicier because i don't like the tone of the question

02:08:58.820 it's passive aggressive aren't you aren't you risking becoming a trump guy no no no i don't care about trump one way or the other i care about ideas

02:09:09.220 it makes perfect sense from rational choice theory for the president of a country to pursue his country's best interests

02:09:18.580 point final next sun or sun wu kong i was in yeshiva for seven years uh for a yeshiva guy

02:09:30.500 sun wu kong doesn't strike me as a jewish name but okay who am i to say i was in yeshiva for seven years in jerusalem

02:09:39.140 my experience with arabs there wasn't positive to say the least growing up in syria what do you find

02:09:44.100 most beautiful about arabic culture and muslim culture i didn't grow up in syria i grew up in

02:09:47.540 lebanon i was born and i grew up in lebanon i have syrian ancestry uh probably the number one thing that

02:09:56.100 i love about lebanese culture is the hospitality right if you come to our house for dinner prepare to put

02:10:08.100 on 10 pounds and if you don't put on 10 pounds we are insulted and offended that we weren't good

02:10:14.740 enough hosts for you because you have to eat 17 plates and we're going to spend a week feeding you

02:10:21.140 we're going to force feed you because we want to make sure that you walk away having felt honored

02:10:26.420 and respected as a as a host and that's true across lebanese society whether you're lebanese christian

02:10:32.820 you're lebanese maronite you're you're dirzi you're muslim you're jewish it's it's an indelible

02:10:40.100 part of lebanese culture to be hospitable to be warm when when you interact in arabic it's a very

02:10:47.300 flowery language when you go to a store of course as long as they don't find out now that i have a

02:10:52.900 dirty secret i'm jewish don't tell them but if they don't know i'm jewish which now is kind of

02:11:00.100 difficult because people recognize me but in the past if i speak to them in arabic therefore i'm

02:11:04.820 their arabic brother they don't know i'm jewish i don't have this dark secret this dark disease called

02:11:10.900 being jewish and i speak in arabic the way that men will speak to each other oh what can i get you my

02:11:17.460 heart oh my soul with the beautiful eyes what can i get you that kind of flowery language that kind of

02:11:23.860 passion that kind of hospitality is beautiful and it really uniquely exists in a very unique way

02:11:32.580 within arabic culture i there is a there is a convenience store next to our house where there is

02:11:38.740 i i mean the store owner i think is iraqi uh muslim but the the guy who mends the store is i think

02:11:45.140 algerian also muslim but he's a big fan every time i walk in there he starts doing like poetic

02:11:52.500 incantations to me oh my god professor you are as beautiful and as wise as the sun it's a very

02:12:00.740 arabic way of speaking that you know westerners can't even begin to imagine and i think that's a

02:12:07.460 beautiful beautiful thing there you have it let's keep going let's keep going my god we're

02:12:13.140 gonna break the three-hour mark okay martin thomas is back i have asd and can't study for exams help me

02:12:21.780 please uh asd it's uh not a or i think you maybe meant add and you misspelled the s part i'm trying

02:12:33.140 to think what is what is the acronym asd if you have add uh i it's a very broad question i can't i can't

02:12:42.580 tell you how i can't give you a one sentence answer on how to to better study but i can tell you

02:12:50.340 maybe you shouldn't be in this live stream if you need to study although i bet that you've probably

02:12:55.700 got more education in this two hours and 15 minutes so far than you probably did in some

02:13:01.380 bullshit course that you're taking that said best of luck on your exam rosa hollander is back do you

02:13:07.460 believe we can actually fight anti-semitism or is aliyah the answer eventually i think you already

02:13:12.980 asked that in a slightly different version uh i don't think aliyah is the only answer aliyah for

02:13:18.420 those of you who don't know is to kind of for jews to return the right of return to israel i don't think

02:13:24.980 that's the only option uh for many people it is uh but i think that uh we also have to stand tall and

02:13:32.100 proud and say we're not going to put up with this anti-semitism right just like we wouldn't put up

02:13:36.740 with the you know anti-black hatred or anti you know homophobic stuff there's somehow some affordances

02:13:43.700 that are that are allowed when people are openly embracing their jew hatred ah those jews we can hate

02:13:51.380 them uh no all kinds of bigotry is is is terrible and we shouldn't tolerate it in the west and it is

02:13:58.980 truly the case that jew hatred is really the proverbial canaries in the in the coal mine

02:14:06.900 uh if a society starts to normalize jew hatred prepare for some real ugniness to come down the

02:14:14.340 pike all right let's keep going mr akka did you face any anti-semitism for maronites in lebanon

02:14:20.340 uh i mean there are individual instances where i faced jew hatred i can't confirm if every single

02:14:33.540 one of those cases was a muslim or not uh or maronite i can't say in every case but it is certainly

02:14:41.860 the case that while many maronites might not have been jew haters there are many lebanese christians that

02:14:49.060 are just as avowed in their jew hatred as uh they're muslim brothers so there's a bit of of

02:14:57.300 everything all right let's keep going i think we're almost at the end no not quite transparency

02:15:05.380 and merit i don't see culturally progressive zionist and conservative zionist debates the adl

02:15:11.860 will never meet with you gadsad oh i'm not sure there's no question it's just a statement i don't

02:15:18.660 see culturally progressive zionist and conservative zionist debate the atl adl the anti-defamation league

02:15:25.940 will never meet with you gadsad meet is written here m-e-a-t i think you meant m-e-e-t okay well thank

02:15:33.780 you for your thoughts it's not a question but fine uh rona b do you have a list of questions people can

02:15:40.260 ask themselves to self-diagnose detect and or dismantle parasitic thoughts i ponder this often

02:15:47.380 uh i mean i don't have a questionnaire uh but there are certainly a set of principles that you

02:15:56.820 can either strongly agree or strongly disagree to that will tell us if you have been parasitized right

02:16:04.180 i do not believe that people should always speak their minds strongly agree strongly disagree well

02:16:10.980 if you say strongly disagree it's probably because you think well you shouldn't say something if it

02:16:15.780 hurts someone's feelings so that would be a way to measure your commitment to absolutist freedom of

02:16:22.180 speech so i don't have a specific scale in mind but there are now some studies that are coming out

02:16:28.500 where you measure sort of people's walk score or you know parasitic infestation scores i have

02:16:36.020 a project that i was working on with my one of my graduate students where we would have actually

02:16:40.340 addressed a lot of the stuff that you're asking i say would have because that student has

02:16:46.020 unfortunately disappeared often what happens with students who are doing theses or dissertations they

02:16:50.980 just get sucked into a black hole to never return from it again and i hope that this guy will

02:16:56.340 resurface but he's now disappeared i'll keep you i'll keep you informed if if i hear back from him

02:17:03.060 okay sorry for all the messages that are here in the in the chat but uh i think i have answered

02:17:12.500 everyone no not quite hold on a sec hold on um oh no i haven't oh my god thank god i checked i would

02:17:18.580 have missed all these questions uh okay that one is done i think yes uh let's maybe end it after

02:17:26.420 this so that we don't keep going although i i'm loving this i could go on for another 10 hours

02:17:32.420 amelia pisano good evening thank you for being you thank you so much i appreciate that amelia no

02:17:38.740 question just nice words i appreciate it let's go on who do we got we got tilrin any chance you'll

02:17:46.260 be creating a course for peterson academy would be incredible to see your ideas explored in that

02:17:49.620 format thank you for that question they reached out to me from the get-go when they first launched

02:17:54.260 peterson academy and since for the past three plus years we've spoken many times they've wanted me to do

02:18:01.060 i think up to three courses for whatever reason maybe they're a bit disorganized who knows uh

02:18:07.140 it's never happened but it's always been our goal to have courses taught by me under the peterson

02:18:15.540 academy rubric so let's see uh jordan's people reach out to me recently they want me to go back

02:18:21.780 on a show so there certainly will be a conversation between jordan and i happening soon i'll keep you

02:18:27.540 posted thank you so much tilrin squarehead you've mentioned before that the vast majority of professors

02:18:32.580 are liberals left-leaning what is your response to the argument this actually demonstrates that liberals

02:18:36.980 are more educated while the answer to that question is already covered in chapter i mean literally

02:18:41.780 that exact question is covered in chapter one of the parasitic mind so go read it and and all will be

02:18:48.260 answered there let's keep going what do we have what do we have emilia pisano is back it would be my

02:18:57.700 honor to feed you and your family oh my god thank you i'm not sure what you mean is this you mean you are

02:19:05.060 about to send me a non-taxable non-strings-attached one million dollar that will feed my family for the

02:19:15.140 next 10 years or do you mean you'd like to invite me over for dinner i'm not sure what that means

02:19:20.820 nonetheless thank you very much for your kind invitation i appreciate it going on i think we're

02:19:28.900 almost done not quite oh we still have okay three more uh mocus focus is back how important is freedom

02:19:34.900 of speech in america for the rest of the world it's crucially important because united states remains the

02:19:41.860 singular superpower the united states has the first amendment which other western democracies don't

02:19:48.180 right canada's got hate speech laws and all this bullshit united states has it enshrined as its first

02:19:54.260 amendment the fact that freedom of speech is inviolable short of you know direct incitement

02:20:00.740 to violence and so on so if freedom of speech fails in the united states it'll be back to the dark ages

02:20:08.820 mira just a straight donation thank you so much loud and left night comes back do you think trump

02:20:15.860 threatening oops do you think trump threatening the seas of greenland is reasonable and moral

02:20:20.820 and respects the autonomy of greenland okay i i'm not sure if you're the same person who said about

02:20:28.020 annexing canada uh in the case of greenland i think there's maybe a bit more truth to that one i think

02:20:35.300 there he might be a bit more serious about possibly literally purchasing greenland i don't know enough

02:20:42.340 about what's in his mind to to be able to to make a definitive pronouncement uh but look donald trump

02:20:51.060 is the ultimate deal maker as you know right the art of the deal so he takes all sorts of position he

02:20:56.500 throws all sorts of things just to jockey for negotiation positions and so i would both take things that he says

02:21:06.020 seriously and also take them with a grain of salt given the fact that he truly is a master negotiator

02:21:11.540 that's all i can say i think we're done let me see let me see yes we are people two hours and 21

02:21:21.940 minutes unbelievable we've had between four and five hundred people throughout the session i hope you've

02:21:30.500 enjoyed it oh we've got somebody else things are so bad that i said rosary for sam harris on palm sunday

02:21:44.340 meditator he is the malibu meditator taking you on a journey of meditation and inner calm other than

02:21:52.980 the fact that he blames everything in the universe on mean donald trump so the same guy who from this
