In this episode, I discuss the role of the self-serving bias in human behavior, and how this bias shapes the attributional style by which leads us to falsely attribute successes and failures in terms of the causality of the events that occur in our lives.

00:00:00.000 thank you all for joining me in such an impromptu manner let's see if we can generate
00:00:06.720 a lot of listeners even though i only posted the promotion for this about eight minutes ago
00:00:12.880 because today was a tough day why well for several reasons i'll leave the main reason
00:00:18.880 for a second but i wanted to start off with actually an academic point so some of you have
00:00:27.280 probably heard me mention before the self-serving bias which is a very powerful psychological
00:00:36.880 phenomenon that explains how it is that people attribute successes and failures in terms of the
00:00:45.840 causality of the so right so we all attempt things in life we all experience things in life and we can
00:00:52.640 attribute those things internally this thing happened to me because of me or this thing
00:00:58.640 happened to me because of something outside of me right and so some of you may have heard and i'm
00:01:05.040 actually thinking about i mean i'll definitely be talking about this in my forthcoming book on
00:01:09.680 suicidal empathy but i'm thinking of actually writing a an article on it and so you're getting
00:01:16.800 in a sense uh first exposure to some of my thoughts here uh so for example there's something called the
00:01:24.880 rotors r-o-t-t-e-r was a psychologist who created a psychometric scale to measure internal versus
00:01:34.960 external locus of control so internal locus of control means that i attribute what happens to me to
00:01:41.600 internal dispositions i did well on the exam because i'm smart or i did poorly on the exam because i
00:01:48.880 didn't study so both in this case a successful event or a unsuccessful one are attributed to me
00:01:58.400 external would be you know i i did badly on the exam because it was my fate because the professor is a
00:02:06.960 asshole whatever and so the manner by which people attribute successes and failures and certainly
00:02:14.400 their ability to do so accurately is a profoundly important uh ability because that's the auto
00:02:24.320 corrective mechanism that allows us to understand things that are happening in our lives and then
00:02:30.000 intervene right so if if i did poorly on the exam truly because i didn't study enough but
00:02:36.800 then i blame it on the fact that my professor was mean to me then i don't learn from the fact that
00:02:43.200 i didn't study enough and i don't implement the necessary uh auto corrective mechanism right if i'm an
00:02:49.440 entrepreneur who's tried four different businesses and every time that my business fails it's because
00:02:56.160 consumers are too stupid to understand how brilliant i am and it could never be because i'm doing something
00:03:02.000 you know wrongly so well then there'll be no learning uh so that i can intervene and hopefully do something
00:03:11.520 better the next time around so an incredibly important reality and yet of course we know from psychology
00:03:21.280 that people have a unique attributional style that is what's called ego defensive or ego protective namely
00:03:30.000 by the way just what i'm telling you right now the first four minutes is worth more more than most
00:03:37.280 university degrees that you will get and so i trust that you will be going and supporting my work in one of
00:03:43.760 several possible ways at the very least go and subscribe to my exclusive content i'll post oftentimes book
00:03:50.400 recommendations or i'll share articles that i love so a small gesture to support those that are putting
00:03:59.520 things on the line that are providing you with a lot of important content all right so most people
00:04:06.880 end up attributing successes internally and failures externally right so i did very well on the exam well
00:04:14.320 of course because i'm very smart or i did very poorly on the exam because the professor is an
00:04:19.280 asshole right and as you can you can understand why that's an ego protective mechanism well precisely
00:04:26.400 because it's protecting my ego when i do well it's because i'm smart when i do poorly it's because
00:04:30.960 you know whatever some outside force is causing this to happen now for many things that makes sense in
00:04:38.240 that viewing the world through you know an optimistic lens through rose-colored prism you know can be good
00:04:47.520 but as i said earlier if it doesn't allow me to ever learn from my mistakes then it's bad so people who are
00:04:53.280 narcissistic i i predict would probably not be doing well in their ability to ever
00:04:58.880 auto correct due to successes because they suffer from delusions of grandeur and therefore
00:05:04.880 whenever they fail it's because of some external force now why am i talking about all this today
00:05:11.520 now you're going to see the power of understanding human behavior and understanding psychology
00:05:17.280 why i've spent my entire life studying psychology if you look at the reaction so this is the first the
00:05:27.440 first item on my why i'm pissed today if you look at all of the people who supported the presidential
00:05:37.040 candidate who had lady parts of color because that's all that matters what's important when you're
00:05:44.240 choosing the person who's got the hands on the red button of the nuclear code what's important is their
00:05:52.160 genitalia and the color of that genitalia so i didn't need to think any further when i was all of
00:05:59.440 my progressive colleagues it was just so exhilarating that finally we were going to break that pesky ceiling
00:06:07.600 and have lady parts of color who are who's sitting in the white house i mean it literally is that they
00:06:14.160 didn't say lady parts of color that's obviously the god infinite humor but that's i mean that's literally
00:06:20.160 what they were saying okay not verbatim but in terms of the content okay so now you got trashed
00:06:28.080 you got pulverized you got squashed right 312 the final vote count of the electoral college 312 to 200
00:06:39.840 whatever which by the way is a gross understatement in that if you look at the i don't know if some of
00:06:45.600 you have seen the map it's basically all red 95 percent 99 percent red and it's just a few little blue
00:06:53.200 things usually on the coast with a few other places in the midwest that you know chicago and so on
00:06:59.200 that is completely i mean you couldn't have any more lopsided okay i mean short of it being ronald
00:07:06.080 reagan in the 80s where he carried i think 49 out of 50 states or something to that effect okay so you
00:07:11.920 got destroyed right as of now he's he's winning the popular vote first time i think in i don't know how
00:07:17.760 many years 20 20 plus years he destroyed you in the electoral college they have majority in the
00:07:23.680 senate it looks like they're going to have majority in the house but i don't think that's been called
00:07:28.160 yet right so it couldn't have been and that's that's notwithstanding all the stuff that was thrown
00:07:33.840 on donald trump so at that point you could step back okay and you could say let me analyze so now you
00:07:42.960 could see how i'm gonna use the the attributional causality thing right i can attribute the complete
00:07:51.920 failure of the people that i supported to enter enter like was there something in the policies or is
00:08:01.680 there something wrong with the democrats is there something wrong specifically in the policies of the
00:08:08.000 democrats is there something uniquely wrong about the lobotomized cackler who's a degenerate is there
00:08:14.240 any anything of those things no see that would be too honest to admit that all of the deplorables
00:08:25.360 the garbage people the great unwashed the rubes the degenerates also called most americans it it's much
00:08:34.960 easier to simply say that they're just racist so now why am i why am i pissed off
00:08:42.640 because you'd like to think although i know only too well that it's not true that you'd like to think
00:08:48.320 that people who have professor doctor before their names would be the ones who might be able to step
00:08:56.320 back and say well wait a second let's let's analyze this let's see why kamala harris was utterly destroyed
00:09:04.240 in every conceivable way but that would be honest it's much better to attribute the failure to
00:09:14.240 external forces so now let me read you a tweet that i posted a couple days ago okay here we go my very
00:09:23.200 smart academic colleagues many of whom are trained behavioral scientists and actually psychologists have
00:09:30.640 cracked the reasons that donald trump won one a great majority of americans are dumb degenerates who
00:09:38.160 are garbage two a great majority of americans are racist and sexist three a great majority of americans
00:09:46.400 don't understand democracy four a great majority of americans want to be ruled by a fascist dictator
00:09:54.480 the people who are saying these things have professor doctor before their names they are paid huge sums of
00:10:01.520 money to understand human behavior and they are paid huge sums of money to educate your children
00:10:09.440 right so imagine you are a professor in the business school usually professors in the business school are
00:10:15.200 on the top end of the salary pecking order because they are trained to do things where it can bring
00:10:23.920 a lot of money right you you can go into consulting and make three times as much money as you can being
00:10:28.800 an academic so in order for academia to keep you the market conditions are such that you have to pay
00:10:34.640 business school professors a lot more money so now there are many different types of behavioral scientists in
00:10:39.360 the business school but what they all do is they try to understand economic behavior they try to
00:10:44.960 understand organizational behavior they try to understand consumer behavior they try to understand
00:10:51.280 decision making i mean that's exactly what i do right at the intersection of consumer behavior
00:10:56.480 psychology of decision making and evolutionary psychology yes so we're paid a lot of money because
00:11:02.000 ostensibly we're supposed to know something about human behavior more so than a monkey
00:11:09.360 yes but that's it turns out that's not true because monkeys have a lot more insight when it comes to
00:11:16.560 trying to crack the code of why people voted in astounding numbers for donald trump that pisses me
00:11:25.600 off why because let's draw some analogies let's suppose you went to see a surgeon because you have some problems
00:11:33.600 with your appendix and then as you sit there you realize that your surgeon doesn't even know where
00:11:40.640 your appendix is you say what where did this person study to become a surgeon they can't even tell
00:11:49.440 you know more than a plant where my appendix is there has to be unique knowledge and skills that a
00:11:55.760 surgeon has that you and i don't have that's why they are a surgeon and you and i are not
00:12:02.720 now you go see a vet well you see your vet and your dog is suffering from uh i think it's called bloat
00:12:11.280 you know where your your stomach inverts and it's very dangerous thing and the vet says oh i don't know
00:12:16.880 i don't know anything about dogs i i don't i can't help you i don't know i don't know what
00:12:20.800 why are you bringing him to me i'm a vet then you'd have problems with that vet why is it though
00:12:26.960 that professors who are people who are supposed to help us understand the economy and political
00:12:32.880 science and organizational behavior and consumer behavior and clinical psychology they're all my
00:12:37.360 colleagues they're all with me in various psychology departments why is it that i couldn't find a single
00:12:43.200 one who said wait wait a second guys wait a second i think i might have a reason why all of the
00:12:49.920 degenerates you know also called americans why they might have voted for trump oh well here's a
00:12:57.360 possibility could it be because most people don't like the idea of six foot four guys that used to be
00:13:06.080 called gary yesterday and have nine inch penises but today are called linda can share the bathroom
00:13:12.880 with my eight-year-old daughter could that be something that upset people maybe could that be one
00:13:18.800 possible one of many possibilities could it be the fact that it is considered racist to have
00:13:25.440 a closed border immigration policy where you don't let in people who can rape your your your
00:13:31.680 wives and daughters in the range of 15 to 20 million people because it is racist to have borders could that
00:13:40.880 be could it be that if you print unlimited money that could result in inflation because nothing is any
00:13:49.600 clearer in macroeconomics than what leads inflation which is the printing of unlimited supply of money so
00:13:57.200 that that goes into circulation therefore that causes massive inflation where most of us have to turn
00:14:03.680 tricks on the side of the street in order to be able to afford eggs you think that could have
00:14:10.480 anything to do with it possibly maybe so i just listed three examples could it be that people are tired
00:14:17.680 of all the parasitic bullshit that i've been warning people about for 25 years resulting in me writing the
00:14:23.680 parasitic mind could that be it could it be because kamala harris can't finish a single sentence she is
00:14:31.200 literally a manifestation of a naturally lobotomized person the guy who won the nobel prize for them
00:14:39.920 for lobotomies by the way imagine there was something i'm going to be talking about this in the suit in
00:14:43.760 suicidal empathy that the guy who pioneered the use of lobotomies which of course now is no longer allowed
00:14:52.160 won the nobel prize for that well in kamala harris's case she didn't have to go through an actual
00:14:59.040 surgical lobotomy she was born lobotomized she can't finish a single sentence could it be that many
00:15:06.400 people listened to her watched how she behaves how she's unable to finish the sentence this has nothing
00:15:13.040 to do with trump leave trump out people looked at her and said i can't vote for someone like this
00:15:18.960 she's a moron she can't finish a sentence right there are many many other women that we can think
00:15:27.440 of that could have been president that are truly presidential they're they're intellectual they're
00:15:32.960 smart they're charming right she wasn't any of those things no my colleagues decided it's because
00:15:39.840 this demonstrates how much americans are racist okay let's go on in the parasitic mind you might
00:15:49.520 remember that i spoke at great length regarding a collective malady which i referred to as ostrich
00:15:56.640 parasitic syndrome ops for short right so i'd like to read that to you here because it speaks to
00:16:03.520 the inability to see reality and you'd rather metaphorically bury your head in the sand that's
00:16:10.480 exactly what all of the people who are reacting to trump's victory but most problematically those who
00:16:18.560 are called my colleagues are doing so let me let me just go through it so i'm going to read from you
00:16:24.640 here for you here starting on page 123 this is in chapter 6 page 123 to 124 the chapter is exactly on on
00:16:38.880 ops okay so of course the desire to deny reality extends far beyond science the human capacity for
00:16:47.600 deception and self-deception is enormous in fact some scientists suspect one reason our intelligence
00:16:54.560 evolve as is our intelligence evolve as it has is so we can manipulate others sorry i misread that
00:17:03.680 basically the idea is that the reason why we've evolved self-deception is precisely because we can
00:17:09.680 attenuate any cues that would exhibit that we are being deceptive to the other and so if i can first
00:17:17.360 self-deceive i can better than deceive you okay in the service of such manipulative intent we have
00:17:24.000 evolved a parallel proclivity to self-deceive oh okay i just said that which protects us from
00:17:28.720 betraying our duplicity the first step in being a good liar is believing the lie okay so let's keep
00:17:34.240 going while these evolutionarily based reasons for deception yield adaptive benefits there is one form
00:17:40.640 of self-deception that seems rather peculiar at times we deny facts that are as evident as the existence of
00:17:48.880 the moon the father of psychoanalysis sigmund freud noted the human capacity to suppress unpleasant
00:17:55.120 information and referred to it as this ostrich policy quote that's incredible that freud himself
00:18:02.960 had used the metaphor of the ostrich burying its head in the sand this human ostrich effect based on
00:18:09.920 the comic image of an ostrich burying its head in the sand to avoid unwelcome realities a behavior the
00:18:16.400 ostrich doesn't actually exhibit in nature has been documented in many contexts including in financial
00:18:23.280 investments several years ago when i realized that idea pathogens were causing more and more people to
00:18:30.480 reject reality i coined the term ostrich parasitic syndrome ops here's how i defined this dreadful attack
00:18:39.360 on reason so as i read for you now this this formal definition of ops link it to how people are reacting
00:18:49.360 to why trump won an inability to accept reality you ready this disorder causes a person to reject realities
00:18:59.920 that are otherwise as clear as the existence of gravity sufferers of ops do not believe their lying eyes
00:19:07.040 they construct an alternate reality known as unicornia in such a world science reason rules of causality
00:19:15.680 evidentiary thresholds a near infinite amount of data data analytic procedures inferential statistics the
00:19:22.720 epistemological rules inherent to the scientific method rules of logic historical patterns daily patterns
00:19:29.600 and common sense and common sense are all rejected instead the delusion the delusional ramblings of
00:19:36.480 an ops sufferer are rooted in illusory correlations non-existent causal links and feel-good progressive platitudes
00:19:46.160 ostrich logic is always delivered via an air of haughty moral superiority okay that's exactly what i saw when i was
00:19:56.160 was going in my personal facebook page and seeing all my academic colleagues engage in just astounding
00:20:04.800 elitism right i don't know why trump won clearly guys we live in a unbearably uh racist sexist societies
00:20:19.680 where most of our degenerate fellow americans can't accept having in the white house a person that has
00:20:28.480 lady parts of color that same person gets paid four hundred thousand dollars to be a business school
00:20:36.160 professor but they couldn't come up with the mechanisms that could potentially explain why trump might have won
00:20:44.480 now you will work very hard to save up money if not go into debt
00:20:53.200 so that you can pay the hundred thousand plus dollars a year to send your kid to school to learn with that professor
00:21:04.480 so hopefully now that uh some of you know that i have a close relationship with elon and he's not very tight
00:21:11.440 with trump maybe i will be able to contribute in any way that i can to uh help change some of the
00:21:19.680 academic ecosystem because remember what i explained in the parasitic mind is every single one of those
00:21:26.240 parasitic ideas was spawned on university campuses by very very smart professors okay so and here's another
00:21:37.120 thing that i want to keep insisting that you guys keep your eye on the ball yes many of you who are
00:21:43.680 maybe listening this to this we're happy that trump won and i hope that some people who weren't happy
00:21:48.800 that trump won are are also joining us because i don't want to just preach to the converted i'd like
00:21:54.400 some people who don't necessarily agree with my positions uh are here listening but the fact that trump
00:22:02.320 one could potentially serve as nothing but a doorstop to otherwise this insanity right because if
00:22:08.960 yes i mean in four years you can reverse a lot of stuff but then if it's kind of like you're 200 pounds
00:22:14.400 overweight and you go on a diet but you only go on a diet to lose 10 of the 200 pounds that you're
00:22:19.920 overweight well at the end of it you're you're still 190 pounds over whatever it is and then you go back
00:22:25.680 to eating very heavily and you put you put back all the weight right the the yo-yo diet so it took
00:22:32.720 between 50 and 100 years for all of these degenerate parasitic ideas to take over uh every nook and cranny
00:22:41.680 of our societies so i'd like to think that it's not going to take 50 to 100 years to reverse
00:22:47.840 all this ideological rapture but it's not simply oh trump is here we've gotten the panacea the you know
00:22:55.280 we have now the elixir of life and we move on we're done what's next right this is a generational
00:23:02.800 battle that involves us eradicating dreadful ideas right today you no longer can throw women into a
00:23:12.720 body of water and if they swim and and don't drown then they must be witches and if they do drown well
00:23:21.520 then oops i guess it wasn't true that you that that aunt jenny was a witch right we no longer do that
00:23:28.320 because we've eradicated that idea that doesn't mean that we don't have other bad ideas that have
00:23:33.200 infected our brains but that particular idea is no longer one that we organize the way that we decide
00:23:40.960 whether someone is a witch or not that's it that's in the dustbin of history well all of these parasitic
00:23:47.120 ideas post-modernism and cultural relativism and social constructivism and or at least a radical form
00:23:53.920 of social constructivism radical feminism that denies innate sex differences biophobia the fear of using
00:24:01.040 biology to explain any human behavior uh you know identity politics the die cult diversity inclusion
00:24:09.280 equity political correctness a consequentialist view of freedom of speech all of the things that i just
00:24:14.640 listed off the top of my head those are parasitic ideas that need to be defeated permanently right
00:24:22.080 and so yes you could rejoice at the fact that you can't begin to imagine the the bullet that was
00:24:30.240 dodged by not having this imbecile come to power but it's not just because she's an imbecile because
00:24:35.920 she's an imbecile that actually believes in things that are perfectly incongruent with every single one
00:24:42.800 of the deontological principles that define american exceptionalism nothing could be clearer right
00:24:50.800 when when she gets up and says well i want to have a place where you know because we all started at
00:24:57.360 different places we all need to end up at the same place that is called something what is that s word
00:25:03.440 socialism oh what's that c word communism right but as i've told you before eo wilson the the bio the
00:25:11.520 evolution a biologist explained to us that when he was asked about socialism communism he said
00:25:19.600 great idea wrong species communism is great if you're a social ant it's not great when you are a
00:25:26.000 hierarchical species called human beings all right last thing i'm going to uh rant about uh
00:25:35.600 it's on a it's on a it's on a personal level but i i hope that you can appreciate the pain
00:25:42.800 i'm trying to crack the mystery of why it is that i receive thousands of requests from people
00:25:52.320 that somehow occur in a world that's fully parasitic meaning someone makes a huge ask of me
00:26:02.320 but there is never for example oh what is that thing called oh expectation to be paid
00:26:09.600 for my time my effort my energy my having to travel 10 hour to get there right so let's go back to your
00:26:18.720 surgeon if you had to go see a surgeon for them to perform a surgery on you would you say
00:26:26.080 but come on doc you're doing it for the cause if you go see your vet oh but come on doc aren't you
00:26:33.920 going to operate on my dog for free if you go see your accountant what do you mean you're not filing my
00:26:40.800 corporate taxes for free because i'm a good person i exist in a world where because i'm
00:26:48.240 supposedly the professor of the people i pay my mortgage just by you telling me how nice i am so
00:26:56.000 when i go to the bank i simply go to the bank i say but what do you mean you expect me to pay with
00:27:01.200 money the people who make requests of me just tell me i'm a great guy so can't i use the currency of
00:27:08.320 i'm a great guy to pay my mortgage and my kids tuition and so on so every day i receive three
00:27:15.520 thousand requests i mean endless from the most banal oh we are a documentary from hollywood we'd like to
00:27:24.800 book your time for three hours to help us using your behavioral science expertise oh great here's
00:27:30.640 my hourly rate oh no professor we're thinking that you know you would just do it oh we'd like to invite
00:27:38.240 you to give a talk it's it's only a seven hour flight from where you are you can give a talk and
00:27:43.040 we'll be raising money at that event where you are the main draw oh okay well here's my speaker fee
00:27:50.640 oh no professor we thought it would be for free so it's it's very very hard to deal with that because
00:27:57.520 it's such a violation of of just human decency right i mean it's one thing you know someone who
00:28:05.520 says hey can you you know a colleague hey god you know if you have an hour can you maybe read through
00:28:11.120 my paper and give me some feedback okay great but this is companies this is governmental agencies
00:28:17.440 this is uh organizations this is fundraising this is political i mean it goes on and on this is
00:28:24.000 uh startups it's entrepreneurs it's advertising firms all of them love you all of them want your
00:28:32.080 expertise but only a small portion of them uh ever expect that you know you might want to be paid for it
00:28:40.480 now i've been thinking about what maybe some of you can post comments one of the things i've been
00:28:46.240 thinking is that my forum at this point my platform has become so big that in a sense people can reach
00:28:54.480 out to me at little cost now if it were that there was a barrier to entry to get to me right so for
00:29:02.160 example i have three business assistants who sift through all that stuff then i wouldn't experience
00:29:09.600 kind of the frustrations that i do because i end up spending on any given day an hour two hours three
00:29:15.040 hours going through endless communiques many of which end up sucking my time which is no good for
00:29:21.280 anybody it's a waste of my time i could be working on a million other things but then i end up getting
00:29:28.000 sucked up and all this kind of stuff so that's it if you're a decent person and you approach someone and
00:29:35.440 you expect them to do a service for you then short of you being parasitic right i mean that's the
00:29:43.040 definition of a parasite right it's to the detriment of the host and to the benefit solely of the
00:29:50.640 parasite right it's not symbiotic it's not mutualism right life doesn't operate on parasitic relationships
00:29:59.360 right even the barter system doesn't operate on that so please please please if you are one of the
00:30:04.800 ones who is going to write me to invite me to whatever or do whatever don't because i'm getting
00:30:11.280 pissed off at all this stuff all right guys so that's it let me just summarize inability to learn
00:30:18.160 from mistakes which is linked to rotors internal versus external locus of control which is related to
00:30:26.720 the self-serving bias successes are attributed internally failures are attributed externally that explains why all of
00:30:33.600 the supporters of kamala harris including my super smart academic colleagues are unable to make sense of
00:30:42.320 why she she lost academia and ops ostrich parasitic syndrome pissing me off entitled requests oh there's
00:30:52.400 one more that i forgot to mention let me just mention it i'm looking here at my uh hastily prepared list
00:30:59.920 some of you can go well all of you i hope if you haven't watched it i the the pinned tweet on my uh
00:31:07.680 x page is a clip that i put out yesterday uh that's gotten i think over two million impressions since
00:31:16.800 yesterday over a million unique plays so that's virality by any measure the reason why i'm mentioning it to
00:31:27.040 you is because what i was doing there is mimicking so for the by the way so just to describe it you
00:31:32.960 could go watch it later it's it's 15 second clip or something it's basically me mocking the full fear
00:31:40.320 and full victimhood of everybody who can't make sense of why trump won they're so afraid to go to school
00:31:47.040 because you know as a person of color trump is going to round us up into internment camps but this is
00:31:53.680 not joking this is like literally all over my personal facebook page right so i i mocked that
00:32:00.240 i did a satirical trip uh clip as i often do where you know my wife is consoling me because i'm crying
00:32:09.040 and so on and it went completely viral now why did i do that because i explained to you in the parasitic
00:32:15.200 mind that satire is incredibly powerful satire is akin to the surgeon's scalpel cutting through warm
00:32:24.160 butter cutting through layers of bullshit so when you are a grown human being in many cases called a
00:32:32.000 professor professor doctor so and so and you go online or you go on on social media and you go i am so so so
00:32:41.920 so afraid i am so afraid that donald trump is going to round us up i have a third cousin who is trans
00:32:50.800 and i think he's going to execute all trans people it is such an affront because first of all there is
00:32:56.640 a falsity to it that's grotesque but what you're doing there is an existential injury to people who
00:33:03.360 truly suffered right so for example if you say when someone complimented me on how i looked in my dress
00:33:09.840 and that was a form of sexual assault you are demeaning the real victims of sexual assault that
00:33:16.880 compliment may have been out of place but that's not a that's not a verbal sexual assault right you
00:33:22.720 can't be compliment raped right so when you start and that's that's exactly what i talked about in the
00:33:30.880 parasitic mind when i talked about the homeostasis of victimology you keep redefining what constitutes a
00:33:37.120 victim incident so that you can always appear as a victim so trump won f off deal with it because
00:33:44.560 this is a thing called democracy the person that you wanted to win didn't win i have i have had to
00:33:51.920 sit through nine years of the biggest degenerate degenerate in the history of humanity he's called
00:33:57.920 justin trudeau right i didn't hide and say i'm so afraid it's he's destroyed canada maybe irrevocably so
00:34:07.200 but that's life i don't go on on social media and i start doing you know cries of fear because just you
00:34:15.360 know it sucks sometimes the people that i support win sometimes they don't i move on right and i wrote
00:34:23.360 at one point i said to all the people who are crying and are so so so so so so so afraid of
00:34:30.400 donald trump they should have lived in my childhood in lebanon for three minutes okay so the reason why
00:34:38.400 i'm angry it's it's because it really is an existential injury to have such lack of dignity in a democracy
00:34:47.760 sometimes the one that you like wins sometimes they don't if that weren't the case then it wouldn't
00:34:53.760 be a democracy right that's why in autocratic societies that run elections the one who wins
00:35:01.760 gets 99.8 of the votes but in a real democracy to the extent that the us is still a real democracy
00:35:10.880 sometimes the one that we don't like wins deal with it and f off all right on that note guys it's time
00:35:19.200 for me to go and eat thank you for serving as my collective therapists because i needed to get this off my
00:35:27.600 chest please share this clip i will be posting it also as a um thing on my youtube and on my podcast
