Colin Wright, an ex-evolutionary biologist, joins us to talk about how schools have gotten woke to an ever-increasingly insane degree, and a cat who thinks he's drinking water. Plus, a man on Canadian public access television thinks there's no such thing as biological sex, and why you should trust him.
00:01:22.000But I started talking about biological sex because, one, it's not too much of a difficult subject to get into, especially if you're a biologist.
00:01:30.000You kind of, you're pretty familiar with what biological sex is and just seeing how the narrative around sex has just been sort of going, spinning out of control over the last several years.
00:02:04.000Well, so we got a bunch of other stories, and actually I want to lead with this one about this New York high school, because they're comparing police to Klan members.
00:02:11.000There's also a ton of videos coming out, and I couldn't just pick one of these stories.
00:02:16.000So I did a Google search about school and Black Lives Matter, and you can basically find just, I don't know, on the front page of Google, it's just a bunch of stories about all of these schools that are bringing in Black Lives Matter curriculum.
00:02:28.000They're not even teaching kids math, they're teaching them social justice.
00:02:32.000There's one clip going viral right now that purports to be — I say this is important, purports, because I don't know exactly what's going on — but there's this kid, and the parent, I guess, is filming the computer from the other side, and they're talking about how if Joe Biden dies, Kamala Harris will be the first female president.
00:02:49.000And what that has to do with school, I have no idea, and it's also kind of morbid, but perhaps that's what people are really banking on.
00:02:57.000But we've got a bunch of other stories, too, so you have a lot to say about transgender athletes and biological sex and all that stuff, and we could definitely talk about, I guess, insect evolutionary biology.
00:04:11.000Daily Mail says, New York High School under fire after teacher handed out
00:04:17.000cartoon which compares cops to the KKK and slave owners on first day of class.
00:04:23.000And I saw this story and I thought to myself, look at this image.
00:04:28.000So first you have what looks like a colonial guy.
00:04:31.000He says, I, and then there's a black man on the ground and each and every one, I can't, I can't.
00:04:37.000Wait a second, I, I can't, I, I can't breathe.
00:04:41.000And then the last one is the cop kneeling on a dude's neck.
00:04:44.000And it just does not represent historical context at all.
00:04:49.000And so it's just one example of grade school indoctrination.
00:04:52.000So let's, we'll read this story and then I'll show you some of the searches, because you can find this at every school basically.
00:04:57.000They say a school in Westchester has come under fire after a teacher handed out an image to students about the Black Lives Matter movement.
00:05:03.000Comparing modern-day cops to slave owners and the Ku Klux Klan, Westlake High School educator Christopher Moreno gave his 11th graders a handout on September 8th, on the first day of classes.
00:05:15.000The handout included a five-frame cartoon panel titled George Floyd.
00:05:19.000Each panel showing a white man kneeling on the neck of a black man from different historical periods.
00:05:24.000In the first frame, a pirate is shown kneeling on- a pirate?
00:05:42.000But yeah, so for those that are listening, it's what looks like a colonial slave trader, followed by a plantation owner, followed by a Klansman, and then just a cop, and there's a sign saying white only, and then finally what looks like supposed to be Chauvin and George Floyd.
00:05:57.000They say Westlake mother, Anya Pattern-Nostro, told the New York Post, my daughter showed me the paper.
00:06:09.000Pattern-Nostro said that she immediately sent letters protesting the cartoon to Mount Pleasant School District Superintendent Kurt Coates and Westlake Principal Keith Schenker, whose school is in the district.
00:06:21.000Enough is enough, Pattern-Nostro said to the Post.
00:06:31.000We don't need a teacher brainwashing my kids.
00:06:34.000I'll teach my kids about what's right and what's wrong.
00:06:37.000Her daughter Nicole said that she was troubled by the cartoon included in Moreno's lessons plan, calling it disgusting for comparing the police to all the terrible people in history.
00:06:47.000The high school student said she had since been bullied on social media since she made the controversial lesson plan public and has been called a racist.
00:07:02.000Is there any sense of whether this is part of the curriculum?
00:07:04.000Because to me, there should be maybe some sort of stopgap, some process of knowing what belongs in schools.
00:07:11.000Or are these teachers just going out and finding cartoons online and just, you know, on Twitter and memes, and they're just putting it in their classroom because I can't see any school board approving something like this.
00:07:22.000I don't think they have, yeah I don't think it's part of the curriculum.
00:07:24.000Although there was a leaked school curriculum that was just basically all social justice activism, was not even teaching kids anything.
00:07:33.000I don't know why parents are still putting their kids in these places, man.
00:07:36.000It's hard to know, yeah, how much it's... if it's in the curriculum, how much the ideology has seeped in where this is just what's being offered by these institutions, or if this is just, like, rogue teachers just bringing their politics in the classroom, or just a marriage of both.
00:07:51.000It's probably that, but who's gonna speak up against them?
00:08:14.000But it's, again, it's all part of this, like, critical theory assessment of how, how power dynamics are playing in society in different areas.
00:08:23.000This is the critical race version of it.
00:08:25.000And then you go with the gender, gender studies version, there's like the colonial version of it.
00:09:28.000I don't want creationism or intelligent design in schools, but frankly, I'd rather have my students at a private school teaching religious notions of creationism and intelligent design, as long as they're not teaching a lot of this wokeness.
00:09:40.000I'd prefer an indoctrination into creationism than into this critical theory nonsense.
00:11:07.000And at some point, a lot of times they'll get down to, like, well, I just believe it on faith.
00:11:10.000But there's some that are sort of... It's in the Bible.
00:11:12.000There is a movement of just sort of like a justified faith thing where they try to ground it all in reason and evidence, and I'm happy talking to those people.
00:11:19.000Well, so here's what I'm trying to say.
00:11:22.000If you go to these critical race theory people, they'll say whatever they have to say at any given moment to make it make sense, even if it contradicts what they said ten seconds ago.
00:11:31.000But that's because- So I'm wondering if it's really about an actual ideology, or if they're kind of making it up as they go along, they're basically just saying, you're a bad guy.
00:11:40.000And so no matter what you say, I oppose.
00:12:05.000Yeah, well, they're diametrically opposed to, like, stable notions of reality.
00:12:11.000And so when you try to drill down on any certain aspect, their main tactic is going to be to just problematize it, to try to just shift the floor out from under your feet.
00:12:22.000A lot of their tactics, if you read some of their papers and stuff, they'll take some concept And then they'll deconstruct it into a million pieces.
00:12:30.000And then their ultimate conclusion at the end of the day is almost entirely, well, there's not much to conclude here.
00:12:35.000It's just, they just, yeah, they just break binaries, break any sort of boundaries, blur the distinctions between borders on any concept.
00:12:42.000And that's just sort of their, that's how, that's how it works.
00:12:54.000I want to say, because we're definitely gonna talk about Trump banning this stuff in the government, but I want to show you this, because this is a story from just last month.
00:13:01.000schools are changing their curriculum in response to Black Lives Matter, as survey finds 81% of teachers support the movement.
00:13:11.000Now, I gotta say, if all of the teachers believe this, why should I think you're correct?
00:13:19.000I'm half kidding, but yeah, it's it needs to be broken down into what is meant by black lives matter and the language
00:13:27.000game They play where it can be both a movement an ideology
00:13:30.000Statement of of clear fact that black lives do in fact matter and that's why it's one of the best
00:13:36.000Slogans I can imagine because no one would be against saying black lives matter as a general statement of what's
00:13:42.000true about the value of life But they can change the meaning in any context they want to, to sort of get what they want, get their result.
00:13:50.000No one's going to be standing up in a group, you know, in a school setting where they're trying to have... People are going to be voting on whether or not the curriculum gets based on Black Lives Matter or something.
00:14:00.000No one's going to be the one guy standing up to say, I'm actually against Black Lives Matter.
00:14:04.000Because you'll just be harangued out of the room.
00:14:14.000If 81% of teachers agree with the movement, and we have an endless number of schools that have adopted the curriculum, won't it just be that the next generation, these young kids in grade school, are going to grow up indoctrinated into that worldview, and you are going to be a creepy weirdo who doesn't understand reality?
00:14:30.000I'm sure there's a lot of people saying that right now, that I'm the creepy weirdo.
00:14:34.000I try to think, if you have things like intelligent design, what if 81% of teachers were pro that?
00:14:38.000We have to have Some notion of what can be taught in schools that can't just be based on, do most teachers believe in this thing?
00:14:49.000You need to have something that's based in evidence, something that's factually able to be argued from first principles like evolutionary biology over creationism, intelligent design.
00:14:58.000And what we're getting here with the Black Lives Matter critical race theory that's being put in there is people are bringing their politics to the table, and they're asserting that this is the only way we can deal with racial issues.
00:15:10.000They reject the sort of liberal approach to race.
00:15:14.000And just because people believe in it, it seems to just be steamrolling ahead.
00:15:18.000Did you hear about that group of people who want to create a black-only city?
00:15:53.000I was talking to a friend about a lot of this stuff.
00:15:55.000who used to be a normal liberal and now is like... I hate to say it, but I'm like, it's hardcore identitarianism.
00:16:04.000This is a white woman telling all of her white friends to form a collective, to take collective racial action for the betterment of the poor minorities who are underprivileged.
00:16:14.000And I'm like, dude, you're asserting superiority over this group in some capacity, and you're pushing for white racial collective action?
00:16:23.000Can you look in a mirror for two seconds?
00:16:33.000I just don't see how an intense focus on making race the most important issue is some way going to make race less important or make race go away.
00:16:46.000Well, I will say, seeing schools adopt all this stuff, seeing schools call cops, like, clan members and slave owners, how absolutely psychotic is that?
00:17:59.000And then you get these well-to-do liberals who are pushing the stuff saying, look, look, they are because they said so, because their lived experience is more important than empirical evidence, which they don't believe exists anyway.
00:18:09.000The end result of changing the definitions of words, changing the pronunciation of words like Wimixin to Wiminks, Like, that's not even how the letter... Spell it W-O-M-N-X.
00:18:45.000I don't know if their intention is to do that, or if their goal is to break everything down and then once it's completely destroyed, create their socialist, you know, Marxist utopia or whatever it is they think.
00:18:55.000I think that's the second one is what I think they're mainly doing, because they need the institutions.
00:18:59.000They don't want to, well, they want to destroy them as we know them, but they want to use them as sort of their recruitment ground and their rhetorical They want to wear the institutions like skin suits after they latch onto the neck of the institution and suck the moist juicy innards of the creature out and then parasitically take over.
00:19:20.000I think it was like Eric Weinstein that talked about them being sort of hermit crabs and we have all these different institutions and they have different shells and we see that the shells remain intact.
00:19:31.000And then some at some point all the crabs that used to inhabit them left and now there's these new crabs in the masquerading around as the New York Times as right you know whatever you want they still have this prestige of having those shells but I like I like you like yours I like mine better, you know, the Vincent D'Onofrio from Men in Black, you know, the giant centipede alien goes inside his skin and then he's like jerking around all like... I like that better because the jerky, like, broken motions represent what these institutions are becoming.
00:20:06.000You can see that they're zombies of what they used to be.
00:20:40.000Yeah, they're not speaking the same language anymore.
00:20:43.000Or the other thing is, like, there was a curriculum leak, and I talked about this before, where it asked a math question, but instead of being something about, like, the farmer has, you know, a dozen apples, how many apples do you take away, blah, blah, blah, it was like, the police stop, you know, 1,300 black people, and they only stop, you know, 246 white people.
00:20:59.000What percentage of, you know, the stops are black people?
00:21:02.000And it's like they're injecting this racialized worldview.
00:21:06.000So anyway, here's the other thing, I think.
00:21:07.000Like, the first one is maybe they're, like, destroying the system, or the outcome is going to be a destroyed system.
00:21:35.000I think it's... They're just trying to blur the boundaries between things so they can sort of assert what they want to assert at any given moment.
00:21:43.000It's... It sounds nuts, but... I mean, it is nuts.
00:21:48.000So, like, they just want to permanently be able to control whatever they want by making up random BS?
00:21:52.000Well, when they look at the way society is structured, their worldview inherently puts power dynamics in everything and so they want to just blur these distinctions because every time there's a category that's made, it's not just a category, it's been made by someone in power to oppress some other person or idea or You know, some group of peoples being oppressed.
00:22:15.000And so they just want to disrupt all of these categories.
00:22:18.000All the categories need to be blurred.
00:22:25.000That's the other outcome I'm looking at.
00:22:27.000If they're saying that University of Michigan-Dearborn is going to do a white-only cafe event, and then they later apologize.
00:22:34.000I'm sorry, it was non-POC only, which means white only.
00:22:39.000And they were like, no, no, everyone was welcome, but it was for non-POC to share their non-POC feelings about how their non-POC community is being impacted.
00:22:47.000Are there, like, Nazis running this with, like, a wink-wink and a nudge-nudge to their Nazi friends, tricking the left into adopting these things?
00:22:55.000So then we see there's a group of black people who got a sponsor, they're buying up land in, I believe it's in Georgia, near Macomb, I think it's pronounced, and they want to create a town called Freedom that is what they describe as pro-black, which for the most part is black only, but they say white people can apply to live there if they're pro-black.
00:23:31.000If you found, you know, a country like the U.S.
00:23:33.000on freedom from religion and good values like that, like, that's, you know, go for it.
00:23:37.000But if your foundation is racial segregation, I mean, they're literally creating an ethno-state and that's for some reason... That's not legal, is it?
00:23:46.000I can't imagine how it would be legal, but the thing is, who's gonna step up and say, you can't do this because they'll be called... I'm gonna get all political, like, if Joe Biden wins...
00:23:57.000Right, right, so Donald Trump bans critical race theory, right?
00:24:01.000And that's, that's the, so I guess, I guess the easy way to explain it is like, you could argue that there's, what is that, critical gender theory?
00:24:31.000The worst part was when, like, CNN, for instance, defended critical race theory and white privilege training without actually knowing what any of it was.
00:24:40.000Yeah, I mean, you're seeing the way they talk about it shift in real time, because critical race theory is sort of this obscure thing.
00:25:20.000It's this nitpicking with every situation where you're just going to start seeing these phantoms of racism everywhere because You're told they're everywhere if you just squint hard enough and do the amount of rhetorical work.
00:25:32.000So that's why I feel like one of their goals might be that, listen, if you were a neo-Nazi, but a smart one, you know, and trying to figure out how to implement racial segregation, this is exactly what you would do.
00:25:56.000Yeah, like they're not going to let you do it.
00:25:59.000If you see the list of what they have is what they consider to be white and Western includes things like rationality, you know, hard logic.
00:26:07.000And I'm going down this list and it's like, who else would agree with everything on this list that is inherently white?
00:26:13.000probably every white supremacist knows that white supremacists are nodding their head feeling yes rational thought is an inherently white thing hard work it's hard work like preparing for the future yeah preparing for the future this is this is for them to take that and insist that this is somehow white and western i can't even imagine a more racist narrative that is gonna one keep black people from probably wanting to participate in in stem in the first place if they're taught that Going in the academy, going to academia is, you know, the master's house.
00:26:45.000And I've seen flyers that have talked about academia as being the master's house and we're going to give you tools to survive your time in the master's house.
00:26:53.000What are the chances that someone who wants to be, a black guy who wants to be a scientist, and they're getting a flyer from one of these critical race theory meetings, and it just says, here's how to survive at the master's house.
00:27:06.000Are you going to want to go into STEM if it's portrayed as a battleground?
00:27:11.000If you're thinking like, oh, they're literally calling it going on the plantation.
00:27:16.000Maybe I shouldn't go into STEM because this is how it's being portrayed.
00:27:20.000Or the threats that black conservatives get, the insults, the cancel culture.
00:27:26.000Kanye West was speaking wearing his body armor.
00:27:30.000And he's crying, talking about, you know, being pro-life, and his daughter, and abortion, and all that stuff.
00:27:36.000And they attack him in the media, saying he's unwell, and I'm like, dude, imagine, how old is that guy?
00:27:58.000He's like, all of these things he's always wanted to say but they were like, don't say this or else.
00:28:03.000And that's what they're trying to create.
00:28:05.000So I bring this up specifically because I'm wondering how it is that this is like, this weird ideology among the left has creeped in where acting quote-unquote white is like a horrible thing you can't do, it's a slight against humanity.
00:28:21.000And then they go around claiming that all of these positive traits which exist in like almost every other culture are only white people.
00:28:29.000I mean, you get people like Nicole Hannah-Jones that come out and they criticize people like Kanye on the basis that there's this difference here between being someone who happens to be black and someone who's politically black.
00:29:00.000I think it's funny that people were bringing up BIPOC, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.
00:29:07.000And this is what I was told, and you can let me know if you agree or not, that they created this term specifically to remove Asians, because Asians are considered privileged.
00:29:14.000I actually thought about that, but yeah.
00:29:15.000Have you seen the book, In Defense of Looting?
00:29:18.000I've seen the cover, and I've seen some articles written about it.
00:29:22.000Apparently, there's a passage, and this was going on, I think, was it Carlin who tweeted about this?
00:29:36.000And so, I gotta say, man, when you put out a book called In Defense of Looting, it's written by a white person defending the looting that is destroying the black community, and you have in it a direct attack on Jews.
00:29:52.000Dude, I really do think there's probably a bunch of white supremacists and white nationalists who have backed away from Trump specifically because they're like, whoa, these people over here are giving us what we want.
00:30:06.000They're the real anti-Semites on this side.
00:30:13.000A long time ago, he says, a long time ago, he said that the SJWs and the alt-right were like, they completely agree with each other.
00:30:21.000Now, they disagree on, like, positive and, whether it's positive or negative, the different things, like, you might have the alt-right being racist, you might have the far-left being racist in a kind of different way.
00:30:34.000I guess they only disagree on whether or not white people are good or bad.
00:30:36.000But they agree on literally everything else.
00:30:38.000He was like, they should work together.
00:30:40.000Because then the far left is saying, you know, white people don't come here, go your own space.
00:30:45.000And the alt-right's saying they want that too.
00:30:47.000That's why I wonder if, like, the end goal of the critical race theory stuff is going to be racial segregation.
00:31:01.000He might not even have to take steps to achieve what he wants.
00:31:04.000He can just sit back and watch the critical race theorists make their own ethnostate and just absent themselves in a day of absence or, you know, eternity of absence or something.
00:31:14.000Have you seen the Onion article that was like, Al-Qaeda sits back and watches as America collapses?
00:31:34.000And they're going to do it way more effectively because somehow this is underneath the radar and no one's standing up for it because it's just using the right words.
00:31:43.000I covered a bunch of the riots, Ferguson, you know, Baltimore, just all over the country.
00:31:50.000And they had, at many of these places, black-only rooms.
00:31:55.000During Occupy Wall Street, they had, like, meeting groups they called caucuses that had voting power, and they were based on race.
00:32:01.000So you had working groups based on like, if you do work, but then you had the racial component.
00:32:06.000So they quite literally created a system where they were like, all of the Asian people come together, and then they get to vote because they're Asian.
00:32:13.000And all of the black people and all of the, you know, Hispanic people.
00:32:16.000There wasn't one for white people though, but that was supposed to be progressive and I was like, why are they segregating everybody?
00:32:22.000I wasn't aware that was a component of Occupy.
00:32:24.000I know that was like a Chaz Chop thing.
00:32:25.000They had a whole area where the only black people were allowed and they had white people guarding, acting as bouncers for this area.
00:32:34.000Yeah, Occupy Wall Street was my first time encountering the, I guess, what we would call now Critical Race Theory.
00:32:41.000I just called it, like, woke progressivism.
00:32:43.000I was involved in that too, because I was at UC Davis as an undergrad where they had that pepper spray incident.
00:33:06.000I get a lot of people that are trying to recruit me over to the right, but I don't even know what it means anymore, so I'm just going to believe what I believe and support what I support.
00:33:14.000I don't either, but... However people want to classify me, they're free to.
00:33:20.000I mentioned it earlier how we both had very left positions a long time ago, but now we've been basically like, I'm gonna go over here because y'all are getting crazy.
00:33:33.000Joe Biden came out, what, 12 hours, what, like, no, like 16, 17 hours ago saying, you know, basically ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines.
00:33:42.000And I'm like, why would he say that at a time when mass rioting, like race riots are sweeping across the country and gun sales are through the roof, ammo is gone.
00:33:51.000And Joe Biden's like, all you people who just went out for the first time, bought a weapon because you're scared.
00:34:05.000I mean, my family had grown up, we have guns in our house, but I'm sort of for the universal background checks and everything that's needed.
00:34:12.000I don't think you should just be able to walk in to a Walmart and walk out, you know, with one.
00:34:16.000Although I do hear it's not quite that easy because some people tried to do that and just to like prove the system of how easy it was to get a gun and then they realized like, no, I actually have to come back later and get one.
00:34:25.000So I don't know how, I know different states differ on their laws, but I do think you should maybe go through some sort of safety training before you can, And remarkably, Joe Biden's campaign, Kamala Harris, supporting the rioters with bailing them out, and then saying, we're going to take your guns away at a time when the left is calling for defunding the police.
00:34:53.000Now, Joe Biden can say he's not for that.
00:34:55.000But Black Lives Matter has defunded the police as a core mission statement, and he certainly supports them.
00:35:01.000And didn't you have that couple that was outside of their house with the guns guarding their place?
00:35:33.000No, for real, I remember when I was younger and I was thinking about politics and I was like, I gotta remember where my grounding is and what I believe in.
00:35:39.000And that was like, I was watching a lot of freedom stuff, like libertarian stuff on the internet, talking about what the Constitution was supposed to do and where we've gone.
00:35:47.000And it was like, like Ron Paul, the Ron Paul era online was huge.
00:35:50.000And so I didn't agree with Ron Paul on a lot of issues because he was very religious and conservative in some respects.
00:35:56.000But from, from a liberty standpoint, I was like, yeah, freedom.
00:36:00.000You let me look, you know, let me do my thing.
00:36:02.000And so I was, but I was fairly liberal.
00:36:04.000And here I am today being like, You know, I lived in Miami, and we had someone break onto the property.
00:36:15.000And I was like, I didn't feel like, you know, dealing with getting a gun or wanting to deal with any of that stuff, so I didn't get it, even after someone broke into my property.
00:37:17.000They smashed up the first floor through flaming debris or whatever on the first floor.
00:37:22.000And fortunately, that was like commercial at the bottom.
00:37:24.000But it's only a matter of time, in my opinion, before they go to like residential homes.
00:37:28.000And it's the craziest thing because I think all of the violence and destruction plays into the idea I was saying earlier about this critical race theory, and how its only real goal is the complete destruction of the system, I guess.
00:37:58.000Like, I think that's that power because it's their end goal.
00:38:02.000They're not actually thinking any further and all they want is just to get there.
00:38:06.000Well, they make this, they make this error that they think the power exists in every single sentence, every single enunciation, any discourse that you have, which I would say is not the case.
00:38:17.000You're not always inflicting power on people by the way you speak.
00:39:24.000But no, no, I think we can talk about the gender thing too, because now it's not just about race.
00:39:30.000They do the exact same thing to gender.
00:39:32.000They've taken the word gender and they've beaten it to a point where it's unrecognizable, and I don't even know what they're trying to say anymore.
00:39:39.000Because at first they said that gender and sex are different things.
00:39:44.000You know, sex is biology, but gender is social construct.
00:39:48.000Now they're saying there's no biological sex.
00:39:50.000I mean, they've been saying that for years, but you know, that's where we've gotten.
00:39:53.000I mean, those are like the second wave feminists who were, they wanted to deconstruct gender as like the social construction that keeps males and females.
00:40:01.000Playing these certain roles in society, but they definitely wanted to keep a very strong notion of biological sex because sex was the The object it was the physical entity that people are identified that you can use that to then discriminate people you know people are discriminated against because of the perceived sex that they are and this was something that I You know, the second wave feminists we're very aware of, but now we see this like third wave intersectional feminism where they're blurring the boundaries between sex and gender, they're the same thing or they're different depending on the context and how they want to win an argument.
00:40:36.000And they've completely de-centered biological sex from the talk of women's rights, so now we can't even talk about the ...actual basis of the oppression of certain individuals based on their sex, because now it's just a state of mind.
00:40:50.000But, you know, for all you know, I could be genderfluid.
00:40:54.000I could be going back and forth between male and female in my mind.
00:40:57.000Well, in the first segment you were a dude, then you were a woman, now you're back to being a dude again.
00:41:07.000And so the idea that we can actually, that we should be centering a state of your mind of how you feel about yourself in relation to your body as the object of oppression just makes absolutely no sense.
00:41:35.000It's very, I mean, they have so much snark in their arguments.
00:41:39.000It's just they get brownie points for how snarky they are.
00:41:43.000But it also boils down to sort of this, what would I call it?
00:41:48.000Gender, critical theory, mainly queer theory is what they're using to just try to blur the boundaries between male and female.
00:41:56.000Because again, you can kind of keep going back and you see these certain themes, they think that there's power dynamics just by the fact that you're categorizing things.
00:42:04.000Male and female, are these real entities?
00:42:06.000Well, no, this is just a, you know, white western notion of how, you know, people try to oppress certain groups by maintaining these binaries and forcing people into them.
00:42:14.000So that's sort of where we are right now in terms of third wave feminism and gender and sex.
00:42:20.000I think we may be reaching a point where I don't know if the critical gender theory people can actually pass this.
00:42:27.000And it is, you think they'll be able to just keep going and doing whatever they want or?
00:42:32.000Because it's one of those things, I mean I've said it before that this is one of the last tests for reality.
00:42:38.000It's like reality's last stand in a way.
00:42:41.000If we can convince a large swath of America or humanity that there's no such thing as male and female, then you can just roll ahead and get anything you want in there.
00:42:51.000Because it's one of the most things that I think, well, luckily almost everyone who's not super woke leftist realizes that male and female are different.
00:43:01.000Almost everyone on the right is going to acknowledge the fact that males and females are real and different.
00:43:05.000Probably most people on the left as well, especially in the realm of sports.
00:43:09.000I think that's where it's gonna really show.
00:43:13.000I look at, like, the younger generation and there's, like, a left-wing meme that mocks the right's 5th grade, 20-year-old understanding of biology.
00:43:23.000And the angle they're taking is science is supposed to change because we learn more.
00:43:30.000And we heard it from Bill Nye on Netflix.
00:43:40.000You know, just like weird gradient between the two, huh?
00:43:43.000I was going to say, I think we're reaching a point where there's going to be systems in place that are going to be very difficult to overcome.
00:43:58.000You can't use many of these broken definitions, because you need to be able to say, word means this, and link to another word, and it has to be a... It's basically like you're looking at an actual structure of a building.
00:44:13.000You can't just randomly place things, the building won't stand.
00:44:16.000If the building is already there, you can't move blocks out.
00:45:03.000They would say a woman is anyone who lives and identifies as a woman.
00:45:07.000And then when you drill down on that, well, how does a woman live and identify?
00:45:11.000Well, then they just get into certain stereotypes of masculinity and femininity, even though they'll insist that it's not based on stereotypes.
00:45:18.000Whenever you drill down on saying, like, what does it mean to live as one?
00:46:06.000It just happens and they're still women, right?
00:46:08.000And so you have a bunch of young women who are calling themselves male names, dressing in male stereotypical ways, almost like a caricature of a man.
00:46:17.000And I wonder if they just hate women and they hate womanhood.
00:46:20.000And it's not about being trans or non-binary.
00:46:22.000It's about literally just hating femininity and loving masculinity.
00:47:10.000So you get a lot of lesbians who also are very much correlated with gender atypical behavior, more male-like behavior.
00:47:18.000And so you're basically getting the situation where you have a lot of young lesbians showing up to these gender clinics that are saying that, I think I'm a boy because I have, and they list all these Male typical behaviors and then in some states you can just, you know, you can get your puberty blockers or your hormones right across the, right over the counter.
00:47:37.000So the Wikipedia thing is really interesting to me because right now there's a debate, right?
00:47:43.000They say, well, you call it whatever you want.
00:47:51.000According to Wikipedia, because you have to have clear definitions of what both of those things are.
00:47:56.000So when you're talking about someone who is assigned male at birth and then identifies as female and undergoes transition, that is classified on Wikipedia as trans woman.
00:48:07.000So if you ask these people, they'll say, no, that's a woman.
00:49:27.000Okay, so when you see that biological sex literally exists in nature very obviously, so there's a clash then on personal identity.
00:49:36.000If they try and go into Wikipedia and change female and male, because they want to get rid of it, that would shatter the systems already created around our mapping of biology.
00:49:48.000Humanity is tied to the animal kingdom.
00:50:02.000Yeah, you have this conflation among the activists where they try to look at... they conflate sexual dimorphism, which is, you know, different features that males and females have, with sex itself.
00:50:21.000poster that they have in certain schools I've heard that it's even being used in some college courses on in gender studies where it lists basically it has this gender bread gingerbread gingerbread person and then it labels it highlights different areas on the on the body like it'll be like gender and it'll have in their head like how you identify Then it has a little box that says biological sex and it's pointing to, you know, the crotch of the genderbred person.
00:50:49.000And in that crotch area, where it breaks down biological sex, it will list things like voice pitch, body hair, things like that.
00:50:57.000Well, these have nothing actually to do with what sex you are.
00:51:01.000So the biggest conflation is conflating primary sexual characteristics with secondary ones.
00:51:06.000They'll try to say that if you are an individual and you have a beard and you have, you know, more upper body strength and you have a deep voice, they're trying to say that you're actually more male if you have those traits, even if you're biologically a female.
00:51:20.000So I try to use... I use an analogy that it's like... it's like bikers and cyclists, okay?
00:51:26.000Like, if you define a biker as someone who rides a motorcycle and a cyclist as someone who rides a bicycle, These are two different types of vehicles, okay?
00:51:36.000One's motorized, has gas, one's you pedal.
00:51:39.000But then you can also say, well, what are the secondary traits of bikers and cyclists?
00:51:43.000And a secondary trait of a biker would be, you know, leather pants, skull tattoos, bandanas, you know, smoking cigarettes, whatever, all those things.
00:51:51.000And you look at bikers or cyclists and their secondary characteristics are a spandex bodysuit.
00:52:05.000Those are like secondary traits that are associated with being cyclists and bikers.
00:52:10.000But if you were to have someone riding a motorcycle who's wearing a spandex bodysuit and you know all the stuff a cyclist typically wears, they wouldn't magically become a cyclist.
00:52:19.000They would still be a biker because they're riding a motorcycle.
00:52:23.000You can have the secondary sex characteristics That doesn't have anything to say about what your actual biological sex is, which has to do with what is the reproductive anatomy that you have.
00:52:35.000Has it been organized around the production of sperm or ova?
00:52:40.000You don't actually have to make sperm or ova to be a male or female, but what is your reproductive anatomy?
00:52:47.000What is it centered around the production?
00:52:49.000Well, so, all that stuff in mind, there's, how do you create, how do you take the existing scientific infrastructure, and, I mean, Wikipedia's a great example, specifically because you click words to link to articles.
00:53:01.000If you can't change the article and have one word mean two things, that's a key component of the critical race theorists, of the critical gender theorists, is having one word mean multiple things at the same time.
00:54:19.000So the idea is you can have a male who is more stereotypically female and effeminate than the average female, but still be producing sperm and being male.
00:54:30.000They're just two different independent trees that can surpass each other on a scale of femininity to masculinity.
00:54:37.000But what the left does is they say it's a spectrum and they connect them.
00:54:40.000So as though that at some point you actually switch to the other side and your body starts producing the other, you know, Yeah.
00:54:47.000So if you're looking at like the secondary sex characteristics, like breast size and facial hair and body weight or whatever, those are very bimodal.
00:54:56.000Like they're correlated with sex, but they're not definitional and of sex.
00:55:00.000Um, but then there's this other structure underneath of sex, which is basically the binary male or female, even though the secondary traits can sort of map on over the top of that.
00:55:10.000I usually use it as like, I do like a coin flip analogy.
00:55:13.000Because, you know, you have heads and tails on a coin.
00:55:17.000About one out of every 6,000 flips with a nickel will land on its edge.
00:55:25.000And that's almost the exact same rate of intersex individuals that are in the population that have somewhat ambiguous genitalia that might not be easily classifiable as male or female.
00:55:34.000Not always, but sometimes it can be pretty ambiguous.
00:55:37.000So what a lot of the trans activists try to say is the existence of these intersex individuals, these 1 out of 5 or 6,000 individuals, they're calling into question the existence of males or females.
00:55:49.000Well, that's kind of like saying that just because a coin can land on its edge, that means that heads and tails are not real discrete outcomes.
00:55:57.000So male and female, they're discrete outcomes.
00:55:59.000If you're a male, you're just as much as male as a male who's got a weaker beard, who's not as tall, who's got a high voice.
00:56:06.000There's not like more or less male there.
00:56:09.000You're just, it's a discrete category.
00:56:12.000Even though we can acknowledge that there is an edge, someone might land on the edge, where they could have ovo testes, they might not, they're infertile, they don't produce either sperm or ova, they have ambiguous genitalia.
00:56:24.000And who's gonna say whether this individual's male or female?
00:56:27.000I don't think... maybe in some instances you can't quite assign them to or categorize them to one sex.
00:56:32.000It's one of the things they actually bring up because there are some people who are intersex who look like they're male or look like they're female but they're intersex.
00:56:41.000And there's a bunch of different, you know... Most intersex conditions are sex-specific, which a lot of people don't tend to realize.
00:56:53.000He has a condition called 5-ARD, which he has basically... Well, so, real quick, who is she?
00:56:59.000Oh, she's the South African runner, basically, the Olympic runner.
00:57:03.000And she's recently been banned from competing in the Olympic in some events because...
00:57:09.000She was assigned female at birth, but she has a condition that basically makes it so your male genitals don't develop when you're in utero.
00:57:19.000So you're basically born and your genitals can look stereotypically all-female to sometimes they can also look male depending on how severe your case is.
00:57:30.000And so she presumably has more feminine-looking genitalia because she was marked down as female at birth.
00:57:38.000But her condition is a condition that only affects biological males.
00:57:44.000That's why her testosterone level is so high that she can't compete in these leagues because they have certain rules for athletes who have her specific condition.
00:58:30.000People with her condition have fathered children before, if that puts it into perspective.
00:58:35.000Well, the only thing that really matters is everyone is deserving of the same equal rights under the Constitution in our country, and human rights in the world, period.
00:58:42.000And I think that's one of the things they try to use to make it seem like conversations like this are meant to attack an individual's rights or anything like that, and it's not.
00:58:50.000But we have sex-specific categories in sports for a reason, right?
00:59:03.000There's no rule keeping women out of the NFL or the NBA or the MLB.
00:59:06.000Yes, that's a common misconception is that these leagues are male only leagues, but they're actually open to anyone who wants to be in them.
00:59:13.000So the fact that you don't have any females.
00:59:30.000We've seen some women try and compete in the NFL, like to try out for it, I should say, as kickers.
00:59:36.000And there's been a couple, I think, who've gotten close.
00:59:38.000But there's no women in Major League Sports, even though it's open to them.
00:59:43.000Yeah I mean it's the gap is so huge and it's all part of the the push to get trans athletes or to get males to be able to compete against females it all comes back to the language game they play which is actually the most horrifying part because they've realized that you don't actually need to change laws in order to get them I guess expressed differently, enforced differently, if you just change the language around them.
01:00:08.000So we have leagues like the WNBA or women's sports, women's categories.
01:00:14.000But if you redefine what a woman is to be not adult human female, but to be anyone who identifies as a woman.
01:00:21.000Then all of a sudden you can have people saying, you know, and if you're chanting the mantra that trans women are women, full stop, then why can't a trans woman play in the women's category?
01:00:32.000So we need to try to say and call the, what we should be doing is calling them female sports, but then of course they'll come after the word female too.
01:00:42.000They've been saying that for years now.
01:00:43.000And they'll point to overlap between males and females saying that like not every, you know, some females can compete against some males.
01:00:51.000I was like, well, if we're talking about the elite of elite athletes, we're not talking about the center of the bell curves where there's some overlap in ability.
01:00:58.000If we're sampling the 0.01% of elite athletes, it's entirely dominated by males.
01:01:04.000Yeah, this is something really interesting that I had talked about before in terms of, like, why don't we see women at the top of, like, CEO positions or in Major League Sports and things like that.
01:01:15.000There's a bunch of sports, intelligence-based, like strategic games, games like chess, obviously, and you don't see a lot of women at the top of these things.
01:01:25.000Are you familiar with the greater male variability hypothesis?
01:01:30.000So there are more male idiots and more male geniuses, and women tend to be closer to average.
01:01:37.000So if that's true, that means you've got a ton of really dumb guys.
01:01:40.000And that's unfortunate for those guys and for the women who have to deal with them.
01:01:44.000But then you also have a certain factor more of genius men versus genius women.
01:01:52.000So then if you have... I don't know what the proportion is to, you know, how many... Actually, do you know how many genius men to genius women?
01:02:09.000It was interesting because based on the Greater Male Variability Hypothesis, there are more women than men who are of average capability and intelligence.
01:02:18.000I was also reading another study that was very interesting.
01:02:21.000SAT scores align similarly to the Greater Male Variability Hypothesis in terms of intelligence.
01:02:28.000So if you have, for every 8 male geniuses, 2 female geniuses, then don't be surprised if you have 80 male CEOs and 20 females.
01:02:35.000Or even less, because what happens is, if you have a million people, now you're getting dis- it's just disproportionately becoming more and more male geniuses that have to compete for the same space, and it's just harder for everybody.
01:02:49.000But if you look at our society with 328 million people, And whatever the proportion is, let's say you have 10 million geniuses and only a million are female.
01:02:58.000That means a woman has a 1 out of 10 chance of getting that job.
01:03:02.000Which means, more often than not, won't get it.
01:03:05.000And you'll see a lot more men as CEOs, a lot more men in higher ranking positions in general.
01:03:10.000Yeah, and this is what the whole diversity, equity, and inclusion is trying to undermine, basically, because they just look at the outcomes, the disparate outcomes that we have, and they assume that there must be some structural problem they're keeping females out of these certain fields.
01:03:27.000Because everything's a social construct, therefore.
01:03:29.000Yes, I mean, that's where they're coming from.
01:03:32.000We have this concept in science, you've almost certainly heard it, that correlation doesn't equal causation.
01:03:37.000We're taught that first day of intro bio or intro science class.
01:03:42.000But something that's not really taught, that should be, is that disparity does not equal discrimination.
01:03:47.000That's, you know, Thomas Sowell right there.
01:03:50.000That needs to be something that is just ingrained in us, because If you just look at the different backgrounds of certain white Americans, like French-Americans versus Russian-Americans, you have differences in their average income.
01:04:04.000Are we really going to say that there's some structural discrimination against Russian-Americans and things like that?
01:04:11.000Yeah, so we need to look at what I call a multivariate analysis.
01:04:16.000Whenever you're looking at the differences in outcomes, you can't just stop at the difference of an outcome.
01:04:21.000You need to go and look at other variables.
01:04:24.000How many individuals are majoring in this in school?
01:04:27.000Are there differences in just preferences going up?
01:04:30.000Once you control for these variables, Uh, you usually find out that, well, the disparity at the end is kind of what we would predict based on, you know, sex related proclivities and, um, you know, it's just randomness.
01:04:41.000I mean, randomness can produce unequal outcomes all the time.
01:04:46.000It's going to give you a different number every time you do it.
01:04:50.000So, you made an interesting point about, you know, France versus Russia.
01:04:54.000And I remember reading something interesting about France, you know, they smoke a lot.
01:04:57.000I don't know if they smoke as much as they used to, but that was like a trope.
01:05:00.000And they drink a lot of red wine, as does Italy.
01:05:03.000And there are studies that tracked them and found lower rates of, say, like, heart disease or things like that.
01:05:08.000And I wonder if, you know, these things are typically associated with being bad for you, you know, drinking too much alcohol.
01:05:15.000I wonder if there's certain characteristics that are developed over time in different, you know, cultures, or I guess... What would you call it?
01:05:25.000Like, the French people, meaning that they have over time developed certain characteristics based on genetics.
01:05:45.000So one example is, I've often been told that I don't do dairy well because I'm part Korean, and Southeast Asians didn't have a lot of dairy in their diet, so they're less likely to produce the lactase enzyme.
01:05:59.000I would say that there's definitely some, like, human diversity that's of that nature.
01:06:03.000It's hard to know if it could go back as recent as, like, wine drinking or something like that, because it's new, it's pretty new, and it'd have to take a lot, there'd be some directional selection for that to be, you know, those types of cultural differences.
01:06:17.000But I do think one thing that we need to be focusing on that a lot of people don't like to talk about is cultural differences that can create these different outcomes and different preferences with individuals and populations of what to want to do in their lives.
01:06:30.000I mean you do get, I mean some stereotypes are on average true to some degree.
01:06:35.000I know a lot of people who had Asian backgrounds and their families are very much focused on education.
01:06:42.000Yeah, I can't tell you how many black friends that I've had who've told me that when they're growing up they were interested in going into into STEM.
01:06:53.000They were discouraged from going into these fields.
01:06:56.000And I think that's something that they don't allow us to talk about these cultural differences, but they absolutely matter.
01:07:03.000And I think that that is something that needs to be put on the table, but they don't want on the table because that's sort of seen as putting blame on the groups that are, that are doing this, but it's, you can't look past that.
01:07:14.000I heard, I read this somewhere, maybe it's not true, that there's a disproportionate amount of Asian doctors.
01:07:58.000And there was a big trend where people are like, it's political.
01:08:01.000You know, they're censoring, you know, people challenging the establishment.
01:08:04.000And I was talking to a friend and I said, I don't, I don't think that's true because my mom makes math videos and her math videos get demonetized.
01:08:10.000And then one friend said, I think it's funny that your mom, your Korean mom does math tutorial videos.
01:08:31.000There's no, like, genetic predisposition to be like, go study.
01:08:34.000I think it came from, you know, her parents and their parents before her parents and things like that.
01:08:40.000And that carries on and has a huge impact on me because then I grew up with a mom who was like, I'm going to teach you how to do all these things very early and you're going to be really good at math.
01:09:29.000They're just layabout stoners and people who choose to do hard work can succeed.
01:09:34.000That's actually kind of encouraging to me because my take on the cultural differences is that you can't change culture.
01:09:40.000Like, you can't involuntarily change it, I guess.
01:09:43.000It has to be something that people do for themselves.
01:09:46.000So it's always kind of caused me to be a little bit dejected about it because I'm like, how do you change what people think and how they view things like education?
01:09:53.000Well, it's going to be a generational thing.
01:09:55.000I mean, the culture is not going to, you can't just like have someone give up their culture.
01:09:58.000So it's going to be a generational thing, but at least it's a faster than other processes that could be happening.
01:10:04.000That's why I think these far leftists are actually fascistic, Nazi-esque types.
01:10:11.000I'm exaggerating a little bit, but what I mean is, the end result of what they're doing is the preservation of individual cultures.
01:10:18.000Like, you can't wear someone else's robe or whatever, right?
01:10:22.000You wear the wrong—oh, the Chinese dress?
01:10:28.000And so what they're doing is, with segregation, they're also doing cultural enforcement.
01:10:32.000Everybody must remain the perfect stereotype of their culture based on the color of their skin, and that is the way it will always be.
01:10:40.000And they'll even create white-only spaces.
01:10:43.000You know what's actually going to change the discrimination and bring people together is literally people just living near each other and sharing each other's culture.
01:10:50.000We've been doing that for a long time.
01:11:10.000Yeah, they allow the cultures to bleed one direction, you know, like other marginalized communities can take on the culture of, you know, quote-unquote dominant groups.
01:11:21.000But the whole field of like post-colonial theory, this is what keeps them from allowing white individuals or anyone from a dominant white Western male, whatever, background to appropriate culture.
01:11:33.000That's why cultural appropriation is considered such a taboo thing, because it's basically taking the voice away from people who've been colonized, basically.
01:11:44.000It's really interesting how I hear this a lot, that I was talking about anti-racism, trying to explain to people that there's racism, there's... so on one side you have racism, then in the middle you have not racist, and then on the other side you have anti-racism.
01:12:01.000Anti-racism and racism agree on many of the same constructs, they just disagree on who should benefit from them.
01:12:08.000Actually, it doesn't really make sense, because anyone can be racist, but in the anti-racist worldview, like the Ibrahim X Kendi guy, he views it as, racists and anti-racists agree on the exact same things, except who should be benefiting the most from it.
01:12:21.000And so I think, you know, we want to be not racist, and we've been doing really, really well for a long time, but now they're recreating all the identical systems Under the guise of getting rid of them.
01:12:33.000The one thing I find truly fascinating about it is if you compare what they're saying now to, say, the dream of Martin Luther King Jr., it's completely at odds with everything he said.
01:12:41.000So it's the weirdest thing to me when I see people holding up, you know, signs at protests referencing, you know, Martin Luther King Jr., and I'm like, but you don't agree with him.
01:13:19.000And that was just the most shocking thing because as people rightfully commented, like I would like to be judged by the content of my character rather than the color of my skin.
01:13:29.000It was the poster being held was doing exactly the opposite of what Martin Luther King suggest we do.
01:13:58.000The Olympics allowing male individuals to compete in the women's division.
01:14:04.000Won't that just, over time, create two divisions?
01:14:07.000The men's and the trans women's division?
01:14:11.000I mean basically it depends on if they want to just well over time yeah I mean basically because the women's division will essentially just be dominated by males yeah a lot of these trans activists in sports though they don't even want to have these different categories there's some there's a movement to just eliminate the categories and base it on just like what like weight or something like that which would still eliminate female sports because even controlling for a weight at every stage of the you know qualifying It's much more dominated by males at every weight class.
01:14:41.000You know, I learned this, I think it was like a year or so ago.
01:14:44.000I was doing an interview with Dr. Deborah So, and in the course of the research for
01:14:50.000the segment, we did like a 10 minute interview and then we put together sources and context
01:14:54.000in between some of the things she was saying.
01:14:56.000I didn't know this, but it wasn't until I think the early 90s.
01:14:59.000When we did clinical trials for drugs, we didn't include women.
01:15:05.000And so, surprise, surprise, some drugs weren't working on women, because women have different bodies.
01:15:11.000And so, I think one of the big issues was painkillers, for instance.
01:15:16.000Men and women react differently to different medications.
01:15:20.000It wasn't until the 90s when we were like, hey, wait a minute, we might have to do clinical trials for men and women.
01:15:25.000Yeah, that's a good argument for things like, well, if I wanted to steel man something like feminist studies or whatever in medicine.
01:15:35.000I would point to things like that where it's like, yeah, we need to look at, you know, the female aspect of things was not emphasized quite as much.
01:15:43.000And it's good that we can look at that.
01:15:44.000And maybe it's good to have a, you know, people who are looking at it with an eye for these sort of types of discrimination that maybe a bunch of guys would just kind of look past.
01:15:53.000But you see a new movement now that's basically claiming that there's something called feminist science that is distinct from normal science and can only be done by females, which gets rid of the whole universality of knowledge.
01:16:08.000And if you're going to get a different result based on your biological sex, then this isn't science.
01:16:15.000I love it when they say things like, 2 plus 2 doesn't equal 4, because who made that up?
01:16:20.000And there's a viral video where it's a Black Lives Matter activist saying, like, something like, so what, some white guy in Europe said 4, and all of a sudden everyone just says, OK?
01:16:44.000And you know what's really interesting is that when I bring up that we finally realized we need to do clinical trials on women, That's a good thing.
01:16:52.000And that's a representation, you mentioned this, of feminist studies or whatever, in a positive sense, that there was a point where it was kind of like, hey, wait a minute, I just realized something.
01:17:01.000If we have a bunch of just one group of people from the same town, from the same school, all sitting in a room, and they haven't been exposed to other parts of the world and different experiences, there's a lot they don't know.
01:17:15.000And that's diversity of opinion, diversity of thought.
01:17:18.000So you end up saying, you know what would really help?
01:17:21.000If we got someone from a different school to come in here and talk to us because they have a totally different, you know, like we're researching the same things, but I don't know what they've been talking about, what they found.
01:17:31.000If we said one of, you know, one of our dudes over there and one of their dudes comes over here, we'll all be more robust in our ideas and our perspectives.
01:17:38.000And that was what diversity was supposed to be.
01:17:40.000When we talked about diversity of bringing in, you know, migrants and different people from different backgrounds, it was because they had different worldviews.
01:17:53.000Actually, we want them to be homogenous in thought.
01:17:55.000That's what I think is going to be the death knell of a lot of universities in fields like psychology, where you have people who are almost entirely from the left and sometimes very far left.
01:18:07.000who are just doing these studies that are a lot of these studies even when they if they study
01:18:11.000politics they almost look at conservatism as if it were like a an aberrant trait you know they
01:18:18.000study at it like an alien study they're just like why do people why would anybody believe
01:18:23.000these things so you can see that bias there um and And it's just, they're unable to cover for their own blind spots, because you're going to have... in science, a lot of people try to portray it as this emotionless thing where, you know, scientists are just going in there, leave all your biases at the door.
01:18:39.000I'm just looking in my microscope and, you know, eureka.
01:18:49.000And the way we control for that is by having a diversity of opinions or people who can then check your blind spot and say, like, actually, you didn't check for this.
01:19:43.000Well, that's a big thing about what they do.
01:19:45.000And I've been talking about this for a long time.
01:19:48.000With the words gender and sex changing, changing the definition of the words allows them to change law without having to vote on it.
01:19:54.000So, I mean, we kind of have just seen this in the Supreme Court when they ruled recently, I'm sure you heard, that your sexuality and your orientation are inherent components of sex.
01:20:07.000Therefore, That's the cutest way to get there.
01:20:40.000That's what people have meant by gender from a legal standpoint anyway from a very long time.
01:20:45.000It's only very recently where now all of a sudden it's a state of mind.
01:20:49.000So, you probably know this better than I do, Lydia, but I was told that in emergency medical treatment, knowing whether someone's male or female is extremely important.
01:20:58.000Yeah, it is, and I wish I could tell you more definitively why, but I never worked in an emergency department.
01:21:03.000All I remember is nurses telling me about needing to know whether... Different medications, I'd imagine.
01:21:12.000But also in, like, if someone's laying on the ground and you don't know what's wrong with them.
01:21:17.000I was reading something where it's like, It's really important when the EMTs show up that they can clearly distinguish whether or not this is male or female for a variety of reasons.
01:21:27.000So I wonder what would happen if in, like, New York, where they recognize, I think, 31 genders.
01:21:31.000And it's really weird because they do, and some of them are the same.
01:21:33.000Like, they have female to male, but they also have FTM, which is just an acronym for female to male.
01:21:38.000And then they have something called, I'm not saying this to be disrespectful, it's literally gender blender is one of the recognized New York City genders.
01:21:47.000What is an EMT or a doctor going to do when there's, you know, a non-binary androgynous individual and they're trying to determine an emergency procedure with only seconds to decide and the form says gender blender?
01:21:59.000And there's going to be like, I'm not sure quite exactly what I should do.
01:22:02.000Yeah, I mean if states want to go and have people put their gender identity on their IDs, In addition to their sex?
01:23:02.000If you want to put your identity on your ID and you put genderblender or androgen is another one they list in New York City, it doesn't affect me personally.
01:23:11.000But I have a concern, then, if it comes to medical treatments and the doctor can't make... Think about it this way.
01:23:17.000A million people go through the medical system in New York in one year.
01:23:34.000Everyone goes in the hospital and there's a certain percentage of success and failure for the doctors on a variety of ailments.
01:23:42.000If they don't know your biological sex, they can't be as effective.
01:23:47.000So, hypothesizing, you may end up with a disproportionate amount of non-binary individuals succumbing to the ailments versus, I guess, typical binary biological sexes, male or female.
01:24:02.000Normally, I would say, if you choose to do this and the doctor can't properly treat you, I mean, you make your own choice.
01:24:08.000I'm not going to intervene in your life.
01:24:09.000The problem, then, is someone's going to pull up the data and say, look at this!
01:24:13.000There's, you know, it is twice as likely that a non-binary person dies in a hospital compared to a cisgendered person that proves the doctors are killing these people and are biased against them.
01:24:33.000And doctors already pay so much in malpractice insurance, and we're already such a litigious society, and nurses already do so... they spend so much of their time on charting.
01:24:59.000And this is actually going to be, uh, it's not just about medical practices, but there's also, it's, it's going to manifest in a lot of different ways.
01:25:07.000Perhaps police, you know, stops or something, you know, somebody who dresses a certain way is more likely to get stopped.
01:25:13.000And then they're going to draw the conclusion, not based on the real reason, but they're going to look at the macro level outcomes and say, this proves discrimination, which is if, you know, people are dying, then that proves it.
01:25:40.000So JAMA Network is News Guard certified.
01:25:45.000So NewsGuard says that it is a website for 13 medical journals published by the American Medical Association.
01:25:53.000They consider it to be overwhelmingly credible with a 92.5 out of 100.
01:25:56.000And they say, racial ethnic variation in nasal gene expression of transmembrane serine protease 2 The tweet they put out says that, given the essential role of TMPRSS2 in SARS-CoV-2 entry, higher nasal expression of TMPRSS2 may contribute to the higher burden of COVID-19 among black individuals.
01:26:29.000Well... I mean, if you... there was a study that's done where you get individuals and they give you their self-identified race and then they look at their genes and they look at how they cluster based on self-identified race.
01:27:43.000Well, they would say the categories that we call these races were constructed by white Western heterosexual individuals.
01:27:51.000I mean, definitions and observations were made, typically in science as we know it, from many white individuals.
01:27:59.000We also collaborate with other countries.
01:28:01.000I mean, India and Japan, for instance, contribute to a lot of major scientific breakthroughs and studies, as do a lot of other countries.
01:28:07.000We don't just assume that... Well, they make the assumption that white people have invented everything.
01:28:12.000Well, they would say that because there's not like any single criteria that defines one race from another, you can't boil it down to a single tiny one thing that makes somebody black, or one thing that makes somebody this, therefore these categories don't exist.
01:28:26.000But that's ignoring the whole type of thing called polyphetic categories, where you can belong to like a certain group that's sort of a cluster concept.
01:28:37.000It can have various characters that co-vary in a non-random way, and you can measure this statistically, even though you can't say that these are super distinct categories in any one way, but there are ways to cluster them.
01:28:53.000It is interesting, because people often reference, say, albino black people, and they'll say, you can still tell that their facial size of the nose or whatever, you can make determinations that they're albino or black or something like that.
01:29:08.000But it actually is a really good point to give credit where credit is due to the left, when they say that that's a really good example of the left's argument.
01:29:16.000That there are individuals who have white skin, but have more similar facial formations to your typical black or Latino or Asian person, and that person might identify as one of those, not as white, even though they have white skin.
01:29:32.000And you end up with really weird things from this argument, though.
01:29:34.000You end up with white people with black hair saying they're black and getting away with it, like this professor who's apparently Jewish.
01:29:39.000So it is interesting, though, and I've often thought about this.
01:29:43.000How do you define what makes someone black or not, right?
01:29:46.000So we kind of were critical of the idea of the capital B black, the political black.
01:29:54.000There are some people you might look at and say, this person has white skin, but they identify as black, and they have black parents, and there's some, you know, pigmentation issue, maybe albinism, and so they end up with whiter skin.
01:30:07.000I guess the issue I see is the challenge in navigating the space appropriately and properly to make sure that we're being correct, we're being respectful.
01:30:17.000Correct first and foremost, but we do want to make sure we're treating people like human beings.
01:30:21.000The challenge there opens the door for a more extreme version of there's no race, race is not genetic in any capacity and stuff like that.
01:30:27.000And then this just basically starts to expand from there.
01:30:31.000And it's almost like science isn't perfect.
01:30:35.000So they found a hole, or they found a thread, and they're pulling and unraveling the whole
01:30:39.000sweater based off of one small thread where they find an error, you know what I mean?
01:30:43.000Yeah, it's like because you can't identify one thing that makes someone definitively
01:30:50.000And they're, again, ignoring the statistical things that we do, and we're correlating different,
01:30:54.000you know, single nucleotide polymorphisms and populations.
01:30:57.000I mean, we can get down to such fine-scale population differences.
01:31:01.000If you look in India, you can actually look at...
01:31:04.000the way that the population is structured based on the caste system that they had for long periods of time, where you had more likely to have breeding within caste than between them.
01:31:13.000This creates certain genetic structures between certain populations that can be measured.
01:31:43.000And... Well, I mean, we... This is something the human population geneticists have no problem talking about with other geneticists.
01:31:49.000But if you were to say that this corresponds to anything real to the social justice... Well, I got my... Not me, but members of my family have gotten their, you know, ancestry or whatever.
01:32:00.000And it comes back and it says, here are all the things you are.
01:32:04.000Like, how can they tell you that if it wasn't really genetic or whatever?
01:32:07.000Well, maybe there's something to this whole genetics thing.
01:32:23.000Assuming this keeps going, what would you, what would you predict?
01:32:29.000I would expect, if it keeps going at the same clip, well I don't think it can, so if it keeps going at this clip I think it's going to max out and there's either going to be some sort of revolution or no one's going to know up from down or left from right because it's just going to be, everything's been deconstructed.
01:32:46.000I like to imagine that everybody has to wear a giant, like, cardboard box around their body.
01:33:34.000Okay, how about everybody's wearing a gray jumpsuit, they have shaved heads, and if you're a dude, they malnourish you to a certain degree, so everybody will be basically the same height and weight, and they'll hold hands.
01:33:47.000Yeah, I didn't think we could get to where we are right now, so that's not too far-fetched.
01:33:52.000Honestly, I think, to be more realistic and, you know, put the jokes aside, I think the reality is a right-wing reaction.
01:33:57.000I think that the more psychotic this stuff becomes, there's, whether the left wants to admit it or not, people have certain biological drives.
01:34:06.000And they're going to want these things.
01:34:38.000If that's the case, then you have people, most people just want to have a family.
01:34:43.000Well, if you say you want to disrupt the nuclear family, like Black Lives Matter does, eventually you're going to have regular people saying, I want a family.
01:34:49.000They're going to look to their left, and they're going to see people saying, break the family apart.
01:34:52.000They're going to look to their right, and they're going to see people with the smiling family in a picket fence, and they're going to be like, I'll take that.
01:34:58.000What they don't realize is they're looking at, you know, fascists.
01:35:01.000And they're going to say, I want this one thing.
01:35:03.000And I bring that up almost as a bit of a self-criticism because here we are, you know, you mentioned earlier, you were not for school choice before, but you are now because of the manifestation of this weird politics.
01:35:14.000And I mentioned that I wasn't, you know, I don't want to say I was against gun rights or anything like that, but I definitely leaned more towards, you know, what common sense gun control.
01:36:18.000And I'm like, I have very few conservative positions.
01:36:21.000And there are a lot of union Democrats that have historically been pro 2A.
01:36:24.000So that's not even necessarily, there are blue states that are very much pro, pro second amendment.
01:36:29.000You know, Vermont, for instance, Bernie Sanders used to have a good position on, on, on gun control saying it was an urban versus rural issue.
01:36:35.000And I was like, that's a brilliant point.
01:36:36.000That's why I liked him back in the day.
01:36:39.000But the right is not really moving all that much, and they're opening up their tent to liberals who still believe in their same liberal positions.
01:36:51.000But the far left and whatever liberal is supposed to mean today doesn't represent, in my opinion, the average American.
01:36:59.000They like to claim America is a progressive country, and it's a lie.
01:39:50.000Why bother paying for any sponsorship on any of my channels when you can just Super Chat me five bucks and then I can read out whatever you put.
01:40:27.000There was a moment in the past where I was gonna either be in a rock band or go full, full throttle on the evolutionary biology.
01:40:35.000And I just didn't think that My bass playing would have carried me as far as just like me actually studying for something and I could commit to it and have the future in my own hands.
01:41:00.000But you've got to have a marketing mind.
01:41:01.000But the main thing I would say is that if you're, you know, a bass player, a guitar player, a drummer, you have like one singular thing you're doing, if you're not a producer of your own music or any others, then you're going to become a session musician.
01:41:12.000Not bad, you can make money, you know?
01:41:14.000But then it's basically like, it's an interesting industry, much like skateboarding, where it's just people in the industry paying each other in the industry for money from other industries, you know?
01:41:24.000Like, the money it generates is from adherence of its own industry, you know what I mean?
01:41:28.000Like, if you're a session musician, it's other bands trying to make it, hiring you to record music for them.
01:41:34.000And for the most part, I mean, you could do composition for commercials and stuff like that, but...
01:41:38.000Then you really gotta be a jack-of-all-trades, full-on musician who can do everything, you know?
01:42:57.000You know, I don't know if we put that, because a lot of times when you put the Ph.D., that's a lot of what a huckster's put on their front book if they're trying to sell, like, crystals or something.
01:43:22.000Aria Demetso is a transgender, I think, I'll just say trans, that's how they describe themselves, trans-satanist-anarchist who ran for sheriff on the GOP, for the GOP nomination, and won.
01:43:54.000Because the reason why we have rhinos and dinos, these politicians who don't do anything, is because people are like, I'm going to vote Democrat.
01:44:00.000And they just go, boop, I'm going to vote Republican, boop.
01:44:02.000And they have no idea who they're voting for.
01:45:56.000If a cop has a choice between escalating from punching to shooting because you've gotten rid of chokeholds, wouldn't you wish you had chokeholds as an option?
01:46:47.000Let's see, Keckman says, thank you for being a bastion of free speech and thought, Tim and co.
01:46:52.000Do you have any measure, measures, policies in place so that your own businesses not go woke for after you retire or dismantle what you built when you retire?
01:47:01.000I don't know, it's all built on me, which is a problem.
01:47:05.000You know, I get hit by a truck tomorrow.
01:47:07.000Unless Tim goes woke, then your employees don't have anything to worry about.
01:47:19.000This is the funny thing when they say grifters.
01:47:22.000They're like, the right wing grifters.
01:47:23.000Oh yeah, I choose to oppose the mainstream establishment.
01:47:27.000No, I'd love to get a contract standing up on a podium at Major League Baseball and saying all of the stupid corporate things they want you to say and they pay fat cash for it.
01:47:37.000Yeah, I'm not sure where they get the idea that there's a lot of money in someone like me just writing an article in Quillette or something about biological sex being real that submarines my whole career that I've been training for over a decade to get into.
01:47:50.000You're being funded by right-wing billionaires.
01:47:53.000There is like a small fee you get paid for publishing in Quillette, but...
01:47:59.000So you admit it's all for money all from the work you're doing is an exchange for pay I mean when I had the article in the Wall Street Journal and someone's like he just wanted the money from that like Not they don't even pay that much to pay like 200 bucks.
01:48:09.000Yeah, I know it's trash isn't it and it was and I tanked my career Yeah, right after that one basically so what you're saying is you're a bad grifter If there's a better way to do it, I'd love to.
01:51:13.000I don't know if you follow any of that stuff, but there have been like a bunch of big busts
01:51:17.000recently of traffickers and like they found kids.
01:51:20.000I see a lot of people saying they're going to vote for Trump because the Trump administration has been particularly active in taking down these trafficking rings.
01:51:26.000Have you seen that Wayfair conspiracy?
01:52:16.000No, they're saying non-violent because otherwise they'll be arrested, but everybody knows Antifa's gonna show up, act a fool, and there's gonna be tons of violence.
01:54:22.000I think Sargon said it the best when he was like, if you walked around yelling the N-word at black people to point out how awful it is to do.
01:54:50.000I never said they should relinquish their First Amendment rights for optics.
01:54:53.000I said that perhaps you should consider having your rallies somewhere else because you're stepping into an arena that's going to cause a bunch of violence, and if your goal is actually to help Trump win and stand up for your rights, strategy is more important than acting tough.
01:55:32.000Or wouldn't it make more sense for the ninja to sneak in from the back, climb through the roof, on the ceiling, drop down, poison the feudal lord, and escape without ever being noticed?
01:55:40.000I bring this up because I was talking to activists a long time ago about this, and I said, you can stand up for your rights, but what does it matter if you're losing and you don't care that you're losing?
01:55:49.000Isn't winning and securing your rights more important?
01:55:52.000In which case, tact and strategy is paramount.
01:55:55.000But more importantly, we don't want violence and escalation.
01:55:59.000So I don't know if you heard the Proud Boys are planning on going to Portland on the 26th.
01:56:02.000Is it like another caravan or something?
01:56:05.000I think they're just gonna go march around and wave flags.
01:56:18.000That doesn't mean it's mandatory that you go around and march everywhere all the time.
01:56:22.000It means you do it when it makes sense because you're trying to fight for what you believe in.
01:56:26.000And right now, there's a bigger issue.
01:56:28.000I mean, I guess if they showed up and they did a very specific nonviolent civil disobedience, like, carefully planned, and they agreed to not be offensive in any capacity, and to only block against attacks and not take attacks, they might win in terms of how the press manipulates everything.
01:56:45.000Yeah, but if they're gonna go in there with, like, paintballs and start shooting people, like... People are gonna show up with guns, probably.
01:57:06.000That's why I'm like, do your thing, whatever.
01:57:08.000And then all the press will come out with the violent right-wing militia Proud Boys, and they're gonna lie left and right about everything that happened, and they're gonna try and use that to make it so Trump doesn't win, and then you'll end up with, you know, Marxist insurrectionaries running the government.
01:57:21.000I was for like straight up caravans or something like that would have been fine.
01:57:25.000But as soon as they started the paintball guns and paintball and people like they weren't there to just like wave their flags.
01:57:32.000They're trying to clear something up pretty good.
01:57:33.000But the main issue is the narrative being pushed by the left is that right wing militias are storming their towns.
01:57:39.000And I see the journalists are salivating.
01:57:41.000You see in Portland a far leftist stalked and executed a Trump supporter.
01:57:46.000And that that's going to scare a lot of people.
01:57:49.000The left is desperate to get any kind of message out that they're not the bad guys.
01:57:54.000They need all the evidence they can get, even if it's only a little bit, to prove it's actually the right-wingers invading their town and attacking the innocent.
01:58:03.000And never interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake.
01:58:06.000But now a bunch of Proud Boys are going to show up, the left is going to be like, listen, they're walking into a trap.
01:58:12.000You know, the left is preparing for it right now, the media, and they know what's going to happen, and they are lining up all their narratives, and they're going to wait for the perfect shot to say the Proud Boy attacked an old lady and, you know, beat random people, and then they're going to put it in the press and say, see that guy who was actually stalking a Trump supporter?
01:59:13.000Native American reservations are based on many different things.
01:59:17.000I mean, it was like, reserving land for the Native Americans and their communities, and it was because they were in active conflict with the U.S.
01:59:24.000for a long time when the colonists came here, and that's all, you know, you know the history.
01:59:27.000I don't need to read all the history lessons for you.
01:59:30.000And the Amish, I'm pretty sure the Amish aren't based on race.
01:59:33.000Like, a white person can go to the Native American reservation and be like, I would like to join.
01:59:38.000And a lot of them actually said, you can.
01:59:40.000And I don't know how the Amish work, but if you want to live in their community, you have to give up your ways.
02:01:05.000Identitarianism is a social great filter that an ever more tolerant society drags with it contrarians that wish to destroy it and ever more advanced technology grants them the tools to do so.
02:02:00.000I don't think that word was ever an issue.
02:02:01.000Because I know because I had an issue with them when they wrote fake news about me and I had to call the Willamette Weekly and be like, yo, you're fake news.
02:02:35.000Douglas Damschen says, Tim, I just want you to know I'm 21, and you, Daryl Davis, and Jordan Peterson are three people I hope to live up to one day.
02:03:09.000I think we just disagree on certain things, probably because we read different sources, and I probably think I'm right, and a lot of things he says are wrong, and he probably says the same thing about me, but I think he's an honest and good dude, and I think he has a good channel.
02:03:30.000As far as I could tell, it wasn't pro cuties so much as, like, pro look for nuance and stuff, which... Well, I'm not gonna watch that, so... Yeah, I'm not about that.
02:03:40.000that. M. Sheba says Seamus from Freedom Tunes would be a fun guest. He is always
02:03:44.000welcome. Yes. Austin Skinner says, Hey, Tim, new listener.
02:03:48.000What happens to Ted Wheeler in 5-10 years?
02:03:51.000He seems hellbent on burning bridges in every cardinal direction.
02:03:54.000Where does someone so universally hated go?
02:03:57.000He walks into the ocean, just slowly submerging and never to be seen again.
02:04:49.000Well, I think for once, it is about 10.05 or a little bit past 10 where we're supposed to end, so I don't know, you just want to shout out your Twitter or any other stuff you want to mention before we go?
02:05:16.000Got to complain about science and academia and all that stuff, and I think we had a good time.
02:05:20.000So make sure to follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Parler at TimCast.
02:05:23.000You can check out my other YouTube channels at youtube.com slash TimCast and youtube.com slash TimCastNews and of course you can follow at Sour Patch Lids.
02:05:53.000So he's going to come back and we're going to talk about what happened to him and his friends when they got attacked by Black Lives Matter and there were a bunch of other journalists there and they didn't care to run the story.
02:06:04.000So we wanted to have him back on so he can tell us all the stuff that was going down and he'll be back tomorrow and he's a very, very exuberant and fun guy.
