Summary
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.
Transcript
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
