Universities in the United States are using fetal tissue from aborted babies, some as young as 5 months old, to be used in scientific experiments. This is not for the faint of heart, this is dark stuff, and it's not for your kids.
00:02:52.000It was funny, when we started the show, or when we were going to start the show, we were doing the pre-show, I kind of had like a bit planned and some things we were going to joke about to call back to last episode and some jokes we were telling then, but this is just so dark that it kind of brought the energy down, but I think that's important.
00:03:06.000I mean, there are some Topics that I think the audience should really hear about, even if it's not going to be extremely entertaining.
00:03:13.000And the reality is, we are a society of tolerators.
00:03:16.000We don't build things, and we don't prevent people from destroying things.
00:03:18.000We just let other people act in our stead.
00:03:21.000My grandfather fought in the Second World War, and after two years of battling through Europe, he liberated the Flossenbürg concentration camp, and he was fluent in German.
00:03:33.000So he went to the local priest and he asked him, how could you let this happen?
00:03:39.000People were being slaughtered near your town.
00:03:44.000And what the priest said was that the SS told him if he said anything or tried to do anything, they would come in and murder all of his parishioners.
00:03:51.000And I remember as a kid thinking about that and wondering, what would I do in that situation if people I knew and loved would be killed if I spoke out against evil?
00:03:58.000But here I am, and it's 2021, and we all have the opportunity to speak out about unborn children being slaughtered every single day, about human experiments being performed on completely faultless, defenseless human beings who were killed in the womb, about children who were killed after they were born so their organs could be harvested, and we don't say anything.
00:04:41.000You know, we had a bunch of jokes, like Ron DeSantis was making fun of Joe Biden saying his brain isn't all there, and we're all laughing and having a good time, and then we pull up the story and we're like... Man.
00:05:09.000I want to save that because I want to keep that in the context of what they're doing to children.
00:05:12.000So go to TimCast.com, become a member, help support our work, our fierce and independent journalism, and like this video, share the show with your friends.
00:05:22.000I would say of all of the shows to share, this is probably the most important, but I don't know how many people are going to want to be like, look at this, because I was reading the story and I was like, Shamus, what happened?
00:05:34.000I'm like, I don't even know if I want to read it to you.
00:06:29.000Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh received at least $2.7 million in federal funds to study fetal organs and attempted to retrieve half their samples from the aborted babies of minorities, according to documents released Tuesday.
00:06:44.000The National Institutes of Health had overseen experiments on fetal tissue at the University of Pittsburgh since 2015 from aborted fetuses ranging from 6 to 42 weeks, or two weeks past what is widely considered to be full term.
00:06:59.000For the particular study in question, the grant request specified that half the samples must come from aborted fetuses of minorities, including at least 25% from African American women, According to documents obtained by the Center for Medical Progress and Judicial Watch, let me just stress, they say they were studying fetal organs, they retrieved them from some babies up to 42 weeks, and they had the nerve.
00:07:21.000Alex Jones, Joe Rogan War, leads to conspiracy theory meltdown.
00:07:26.000InfoWars host says babies harvested for organs.
00:07:29.000Now maybe that's a very extreme interpretation of it.
00:07:32.000What they're saying is, admittedly not much better, that the babies had already been aborted!
00:07:37.000So, you know, by all means, they can experiment on that stuff.
00:07:52.000If a baby is at 42 weeks, and I'm going to operate on the assumption, you know, I'm not going to give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe the baby was stillborn or something like that.
00:07:59.000It's, it's, it's an aborted fetus at 42 weeks.
00:08:03.000They could have performed a c-section and that baby is alive.
00:08:06.000So this is beyond the pale. This is something...
00:08:10.000I want to know what women were carrying babies for 42 weeks to get an abortion, to
00:08:18.000give it to science, to use as a human guinea pig.
00:08:22.000Like, what kind of person carries a baby for 42 weeks?
00:08:40.000Stillborn is a type of abortion, involuntary abortions.
00:08:43.000I mean, miscarriages are called spontaneous abortions sometimes, but what we are talking about is children who were being killed intentionally and then experimented on.
00:08:52.000Well, we know this because there was an expose done of Planned Parenthood back in 2015 where they went in with hidden cameras and found that Higher-ups at Planned Parenthood were negotiating prices for the sale of fetal tissue, and in the footage they were saying things like, oh, you know, whoever throws a price out negotiations first loses, and making jokes about the luxury cars they wanted to buy.
00:09:16.000It was really obvious that these people were selling this tissue for profit.
00:09:21.000And what the media repeatedly said was, this footage is deceptively edited, it's not really happening, but the organization, headed by David Daleiden, I should mention, was putting the full unedited footage on the internet for everyone to see, which isn't what you do when you deceptively edit footage to try to trick the public.
00:09:39.000Now, Kamala Harris really went after him and did everything she could to prosecute him in California, and then very Catholic Joe Biden selected her to be his vice president, and as soon as he's in office, he repeals the Trump-era restrictions on federal funding for experimentation using aborted children.
00:10:06.000That story, Planned Parenthood was awarded a lawsuit over that.
00:10:10.000They were awarded two million dollars.
00:10:13.000I believe part of that was he didn't have their consent to film them.
00:10:18.000I mean, they were very clearly negotiating and haggling over the price for these unborn children that they had killed in order to sell them and Turn a profit on it.
00:10:28.000Is it that it was edited to make it look like they killed them, but in fact they had been aborted by the parents?
00:10:34.000I mean, it was Planned Parenthood, right?
00:10:36.000So what they do is perform abortions, and then they were selling the tissue after the fact.
00:10:40.000I guess if a mother asked Planned Parenthood to abort the kid, who's the killer?
00:10:44.000Is it the mother or the Planned Parenthood?
00:10:53.000Well, the issue there is, if we want this to be clean and straightforward and be able to tell people, when you're sitting down for dinner with your family members who don't believe you, and you bring up that story, they're going to say, oh, those people lost that lawsuit.
00:11:37.000For the particular study in question, the grant request specified that half the samples must come from aborted fetuses of minorities, as we read.
00:11:44.000Projects funded by the National Institutes of Health must ensure appropriate inclusion of women and minorities.
00:11:50.000They should also ensure distribution of the study reflects the population needed to accomplish the scientific goals.
00:11:59.000Selden said that one of the goals is to support researchers looking for treatments and cures for kidney disease, which disproportionately affects minorities.
00:12:06.000Selden added that researchers have no part in any decisions as to timing, method, or procedures used to terminate the pregnancy.
00:12:14.000CMP founder and president David DeLayton slammed the university in a statement on Tuesday.
00:12:20.000The NIH grant application for just one of Pitt's numerous experiments with aborted fetus infants reads like an episode of an American horror story.
00:12:28.000Law enforcement and public officials should act immediately to bring the next Kermit Gosnell to justice under the law.
00:12:35.000The stuff that they were doing was absolutely insane.
00:12:39.000I don't know where we had that... Oh yeah, so... I had another story pulled up that was talking about the grafting of fat tissue, but I guess I can't find it.
00:13:11.000Yeah, it says, in one study published last year, Pitt scientists described scalping five-month-old aborted babies to stitch onto the backs of lab rats.
00:13:20.000They wrote about how they cut the scalps from the heads and backs of the babies, scraping off the excess fat under the baby's skin before stitching it onto the rats.
00:13:28.000They even included photos of the baby's hair growing out of the scalps.
00:13:32.000Each scalp belonged to a little Pennsylvania baby whose head would grow those same hairs if he or she were not aborted for experiments with lab rats.
00:13:55.000Okay, then it's a baby corpse, and they're sewing its scalp to a rat.
00:13:59.000You don't think that's a violation of human dignity and value?
00:14:02.000They find that infant skin cells are good for stem cells because they're so young and vibrant, I guess, so they use them in stem cell experiments.
00:14:11.000That in no way justifies anything of the sort.
00:15:00.000The thing I find craziest about this is that this story is from May, and I write news all day for two websites, and I didn't hear any of these details about it.
00:15:11.000But all day today, I mean, everybody was outraged about Fauci killing puppies, which they should be, but why isn't there the same outrage about literal, like, full-term babies?
00:15:22.000Like, this is, I mean... We talk about, like, that infamous group of Japanese scientists that, you know, they were recruited.
00:15:55.000Like, science has to be restricted based on legitimate ethical concerns.
00:16:00.000There are certain things you shouldn't be able to do.
00:16:03.000The Japanese scientists would, like, take a prisoner and stick their arm out of the door, like, into the cold, and watch it freeze, and then, like, shatter it while the person was still alive in the other room to see what would happen to them.
00:16:22.000I mean, people talk about the Nazi experiments, like, you know, and rightly condemn them pretty much across the board, and then we're doing it here.
00:16:33.000We're literally doing it in Pittsburgh.
00:16:36.000Well, and it's crazy because people, I mean, look, people are comfortable with things like this happening as long as they never have to think about it.
00:16:43.000They can know it's going on, but if it's not brought up, then they're able to sleep at night for whatever reason.
00:16:48.000And I know that After, for example, the Second World War, I mentioned this earlier, my grandfather and his unit marched all of the townspeople through the camp to show them, this is what happened here.
00:17:07.000We have unparalleled technological infrastructure for communication.
00:17:12.000This information should be very easy to get to people, but the people who have access to the gatekeeping, more or less, don't want the information getting out there.
00:17:24.000Even when you do have access to the information, people will shame you for discussing it.
00:17:28.000So I know that there are some campus organizations and other pro-life groups that will show people what an abortion actually looks like, show people the aftermath of an unborn child that's been killed, and people consider that to be evil or cruel.
00:17:38.000The act of doing it isn't evil or cruel, but showing people a picture of it, that's unreasonable.
00:17:43.000What matters is no one ever has to confront what we're doing.
00:17:47.000We have to protect everybody's feelings.
00:17:49.000We have to make sure they don't feel guilty about what society is doing and about what the abortionists are doing and the fact that no one is standing up to stop it.
00:17:56.000The real crime is showing someone that they've supported evil, not the evil itself.
00:18:01.000The important clarification, for the sake of all of the fact-checkers, would be people are getting abortions, and then doctors are buying the fetuses.
00:18:11.000Right, we don't want to conflate it that the doctors are murdering the children and taking.
00:18:15.000It's like the parents are authorizing this stuff.
00:18:18.000I mean, but you are complicit if you know that a child was aborted and you are receiving the tissue from... Hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:18:25.000Let's say that you're a researcher and you need fresh corpses that are, you know, From someone who died in the immediate and there's a guy who somehow just keeps happen to have them all for you to buy Yeah, you see the problem I have with this is that they they they lobby for a thing to happen and then exploit the worst Aspects of it in one of the most horrifying and disgusting ways like I don't I don't even know man.
00:18:50.000I don't this is Making me think of like industrial animal slaughter, because they'll not let people see that stuff either.
00:19:26.000I think there's another point here to be made, because there's a significant difference.
00:19:31.000When somebody shows me an animal being killed, right?
00:19:35.000Of course, there are more and less ethical ways to kill an animal, but I can still say, I believe that it's okay to kill animals to eat them.
00:19:41.000If you show me factory farming, I can say, this is the wrong way of doing it.
00:19:44.000But no one says, it's cruel or inhumane or evil to show someone who has eaten meat what happens when you kill an animal in order to get that
00:19:52.000But it's considered cruel and inhumane to show to people who are considering abortion what abortion actually looks
00:20:28.000And so the cows are happy, they live full lives, they have food, it's all automatic, and the farmer just lets them do their thing.
00:20:34.000And then I've also driven past the factory farms, where the ground is sludge, and they're all packed in, and it's horrifying, and it smells.
00:20:40.000I saw an undercover video at a factory farm of one of the guys, and what happens is people, either they find people that are already psychotic, no offense if you work at a factory farm, or people that are just willing to allow themselves to be okay with murdering.
00:20:52.000And what they'll do is, they train themselves to see pig, that means it has to die.
00:20:55.000And they treat it like, Like a piece of wood.
00:20:58.000Like they'll pick up a baby and smash it on the ground till it explodes its head and then they'll like throw it in a pile.
00:21:04.000And there's like living animals screaming as they're getting hit.
00:22:21.000When you look at what people do to other human beings.
00:22:23.000And it's no surprise that we have this unbelievably horrific warfare state, where people are killed in other countries, and the United States government will either do it or support governments that will go to war and commit violence against civilians, like the Saudi Arabian government has been doing in Yemen.
00:22:39.000Because if I don't have an obligation to care for my own unborn child, and it's okay for me to kill them, then why should I care about somebody on the other side of the world?
00:22:46.000We will not have world peace for as long as we have abortion.
00:23:35.000I heard you walk in, there's nobody there, and they've got like freezers with the meat freshly harvested from like organic field farm-raised animals, and you walk up, you grab it, you scan it, you pay, you walk out, nobody's even there.
00:23:48.000We went to one farm, and all the goats ran out, and they were all yelling at us, and we were laughing, and the goats have this nice little area, and they're jumping up and down, and they're dancing, having a good time, and I'm like, they're living it.
00:24:02.000It's like, um, the luxury of, like, European agricultural life being out here, but with the value of the United States, like, uh, product lines.
00:26:31.000And I've dedicated my life to now destroying PETA in any way possible.
00:26:35.000I'm going to be meeting with senators next month and I am working on a massive project, including probably a documentary about the evil stuff that they're doing.
00:26:45.000But people turn a blind eye to it because like a lot of things, you know, you have like Antifa who claim that they're anti-fascist.
00:26:56.000Um, PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, actually kill more animals than a lot of these things that they're fighting.
00:27:03.000I mean, they got three chimps killed last year.
00:27:05.000They just seized six chimps from a very lovely sanctuary that I went and saw in person myself.
00:27:12.000Um, so I think that people are just You know, they like to think that they're doing good.
00:27:19.000People will donate to PETA without looking into the fact that they've killed 75% of all animals that come into their Virginia animal shelter.
00:27:26.000And people will be like, oh, we're pro-choice because women have a right to their body and that's great and wonderful.
00:27:33.000But they don't think about the cost of any of those things.
00:27:36.000They don't think about what's really happening, what these organizations are really doing.
00:27:40.000And I think that it all kind of ties in together in a way that we all just like to look away from terrible things being done.
00:27:47.000This is the nonprofit industry, you know?
00:27:49.000I worked for these fundraising organizations and the reason they work is because you're going to people, and this is what I would actually tell people, you are selling hopes and dreams.
00:27:58.000You are selling absolvement of responsibility.
00:28:01.000Because when we would go out and we would fundraise for the environment or for any specific advocacy, we'd be like, hey, you're busy.
00:29:42.000She really cares about animals, even though she's completely lobbying for all pit bulls to be eradicated, there to be no pets in human homes, including cats and dogs, and that she has personally killed thousands of dogs with her own hands.
00:29:57.000But she is worth millions of dollars despite taking only this $30,000 a year salary.
00:30:46.000You'll have two non-profits, a 501c3 and a 501c4.
00:30:49.000The 501c3 does all the press and announces our executive director gets paid nothing.
00:30:53.000And what they don't tell you, because they don't have to, is that the director also gets paid another couple hundred thousand dollars out of the pocket of the 501c4.
00:30:59.000And when you make a donation, often, you don't read the fine print, and you don't realize you're actually donating to the 501c4.
00:31:06.000And then what happens is, some of these organizations will take all the money in the 501c4, and they'll tell you like, oh, you know what, because we do political work, we're not tax-deductible.
00:31:14.000And then what happens is, when they make $100 million into their 501c4, they give only but $5 million to the 501c3, then they come back to you and say, Last year we only brought in $5 million.
00:31:27.000And our executive director only makes $30,000 a year.
00:31:35.000There are non-profits that are brilliant at what they do.
00:31:38.000They'll organize like 10 different non-profits and there'll be like 9 people and they'll rotate the board of directors of each non-profit and they all circulate funding.
00:31:49.000Yeah, what they're doing is pretty impressive too.
00:31:52.000They're going around right now and they're just trying to set precedents for future cases.
00:31:56.000So they're going to roadside zoos, they're going to small farms, they're going to all these different places where people have exotic animals.
00:32:04.000And whether they're cared for well or not, They're going in there, they're suing them, they're filing ESA lawsuits against them, claiming that they have standing to seize these animals.
00:32:17.000But they're doing it to people who don't have the money to fight back because these organizations are huge and they're spending millions of dollars.
00:32:23.000And so they're setting all these precedents now so that they can go after the bigger people later.
00:32:29.000John Pierce, who you guys have had on from the NCLU, has a whole bunch of clients.
00:32:32.000He took on my friend Tanya, who had her chimps taken from her by PETA last month.
00:32:37.000And now all these people who have been victims of PETA are coming out of the woodwork, and he's investigating their cases.
00:32:44.000And it looks like people are going to start fighting back, finally, because they're teaming up together.
00:32:49.000And I am very excited for it, because I am, like, furious about them.
00:32:54.000I want to ask you guys a question, but first I'll tell you a little story.
00:32:58.000I was reading this in, like, I can't remember what it was.
00:33:00.000It was an old, timey, like, law precedence book.
00:33:03.000It was probably, like, one of those magazines you read in the bathroom or something.
00:33:06.000And it said that there was an old case where, like, two farmers had land that butted up against each other.
00:33:10.000And one, you know, Farmer A, his dog, kept going onto the Farmer B's land.
00:33:16.000And Farmer B kept getting mad, saying, get your dog off my property!
00:33:18.000And the guy was like, I'm sorry, you know, get over here, you know, Fido.
00:33:21.000And then one day, Farmer B took out his gun and shot the dog and killed it.
00:33:25.000And then Farmer A was like, you killed my dog, how dare you?
00:33:28.000And the court said, you know, property loss.
00:33:31.000Your dog shouldn't have gone onto his property, so he owes you the damages for the lost property.
00:33:34.000And I remember reading that being like, my dog is not property.
00:33:59.000Well, let's just say they made a movie about it, which ended up becoming, they're going on movie four now, because the dude wanted to be left alone and some dudes killed his dog, and John Wick, what an awesome movie.
00:34:10.000I got a story here, it's from a few years ago, from The Guardian.
00:34:13.000PETA says, sorry for taking girls' pet chihuahua and putting it down.
00:34:18.000Animal Rights Group pays family $49,000 to set a lawsuit after it seized a dog named Maya, which belonged to a nine-year-old.
00:34:25.000They say, Wilbur Zarate from Virginia had sued the group for taking his daughter's chihuahua from a mobile home park on the state's eastern shore and euthanizing it before the end of the required five-day grace period.
00:34:35.000Zarate alleged PETA operate under a broad policy of euthanizing animals, including healthy ones, because it considers pet ownership to be a form of involuntary bondage.
00:34:43.000That's right, so you just kill the animal, that makes sense.
00:35:02.000They used to dump the carcasses of dogs into Walmart dumpsters and stuff.
00:35:07.000Huffington Post actually did an incredible expose.
00:35:09.000I hate praising the Huffington Post, but it was incredible.
00:35:15.000Because they were just killing all these dogs and they had nowhere to put them, so they were throwing them in dumpsters.
00:35:19.000And the state inspector for Virginia actually did a report being like, how are you taking in this many dogs when you don't have any place to put them?
00:35:30.000And they wanted to shut it down, but PETA used their big lobbying money to keep running, and they killed more dogs last year than they did the year before that.
00:35:39.000You probably know the answer, but Ian, Seamus, feel free to chime in.
00:35:41.000And for those listening at home, feel free to throw in your Super Chats with your guesses in today's trivia question.
00:35:47.000How many dogs does PETA kill every year? 20,000.
00:36:55.000Actually, the NCLU is going to be representing some people from Tiger King, and that's a whole interesting other story that I'll get into one day.
00:37:01.000But there's this place, and he takes, like, exotic throwaway pets.
00:37:05.000You know, people go get a tiger or a monkey and then they can't care for it.
00:37:57.000Which means it's basically the same thing he was doing.
00:38:00.000but um they wouldn't they told me there's no recent photos but that they're supposedly alive um and so now he's he's trying to get proof of life and nobody will give it to him so i mean pita the things that i've learned in the last couple weeks have been keeping me up at night about what this organization does oh i'm sure yeah i i'm i'm definitely here for the pita bashing but also at the same time but also at the same time i think When we're treating human beings the way that we treat them, I just don't think there's any hope for animals to be treated that way.
00:38:32.000You best be believing in nightmare dystopias, Seamus.
00:38:41.000Is it that PETA is looking for animals that they think are in, like, rough situations, and then they take them, but then they can't support them, so they execute them?
00:38:49.000Well, what they claim, so they don't believe that there should be any animals in human care.
00:38:55.000There was a lawsuit that they were involved in where they said that no elephants should be transported to this zoo.
00:39:01.000They said that elephants would be better dead than in zoos and being fed by humans.
00:39:05.000That was where the whole better dead than fed thing came from.
00:39:08.000But they don't believe anybody should have pets.
00:39:11.000They don't believe you should have a cat.
00:39:12.000They don't even think you should have a goldfish.
00:39:14.000And so what they're doing is they're going around trying to shut down all these smaller sanctuaries who don't agree to play by their rules, don't agree to work with them.
00:39:23.000And they're taking them and they're sending them to these other sanctuaries through our courts.
00:39:27.000It's essentially civil asset forfeiture, but through a private organization.
00:39:31.000And it's a loophole in the ESA, which shouldn't exist, the exotics.
00:40:04.000And so last year they took three chimps from a sanctuary, put in a different sanctuary called Project Chimps, and Project Chimps got them killed because they put them in with random chimps that they didn't know.
00:40:18.000They were retired from research and from entertainment.
00:40:22.000They didn't have the alpha ability to defend themselves.
00:40:26.000So they got killed, and then 22 whistleblowers came out against Project Chimp and alleged abuse, mistreatment, filthy conditions, all kinds of stuff.
00:40:36.000And PETA didn't disavow them the way that they do for all these little sanctuaries that are operating all over the country.
00:40:42.000Instead, they put out a statement being like, this is terrible, and continued working with them.
00:40:47.000So when they come in and they seize these animals, they're putting them in great danger.
00:41:12.000Mary Beth Sweetland is best known as the PETA executive who vigorously campaigned against medical research with animals, even though she is a diabetic whose health relies on injecting herself with insulin that has been tested on animals.
00:41:23.000Now, over at PETA, she does say that she's on, what is this called?
00:41:28.000Humulin, a synthetically produced insulin that's much more appropriate for the human body.
00:41:48.000Today I was fighting with the VP of PETA on Twitter because that idiot made her way into my mentions.
00:41:55.000And she put up, to take a dig at me because I've been defending Tanya so hard, she put up a press release about what the chimps infest us.
00:42:03.000And it was a photo of one of the cages indoors that they use for like when they need to tranquilize them or when they need to go in to clean the cage.
00:42:29.000Like if I read this, I would be outraged.
00:42:31.000I would be really fascinated to know how these animal rights activists who are against experimenting on animals for the benefit of humanity feel about the kind of research we were discussing earlier with unborn children.
00:43:39.000Do you know what that loophole in the ESA is that's letting PETA go in and... So they're letting them claim standing.
00:43:47.000Because you can't just go in and be like, I oppose war, so I'm gonna sue Lockheed Martin and take all the bombs and decide what to do with them.
00:44:03.000But with the ESA, you can, because the judges are claiming the Endangered Species Act.
00:44:09.000So the judges are claiming that because PETA cares about animals, they have standing in these cases.
00:44:13.000What if we had like an Endangered Humans Act that could allow you to sue people for bombing people in parts of the world where they're killing civilians routinely, or like bombing civilians, farms and fishing boats, or aiding governments that are bombing farms and fishing boats.
00:44:25.000The issue is humans are far from endangered.
00:44:27.000Actually, I did that back. I did that back. Humans are actually on a really dangerous course.
00:44:58.000They're taking his home because they not only went and took all his animals, but then they sued for legal fees, which he has to recoup, which I believe they were awarded $750,000.
00:45:09.000So not only are they getting these animals, they're getting almost a million dollars.
00:45:15.000It's just crazy to me that this is even allowed.
00:45:19.000But I was talking to him and he made a great point that under the Endangered Species Act, they count tigers because in the wild they're endangered.
00:45:27.000And so the Endangered Species Act is supposed to apply to wild animals.
00:45:31.000If you count all the tigers that are in captivity in the United States, because the ESA is being
00:45:37.000applied to them, they're not considered endangered anymore because there's like 10,000 tigers
00:45:45.000And so they're just using all these weird, bizarre loopholes to create precedent for
00:45:49.000future cases so that they can go after more people, bigger people.
00:45:53.000It's time for people of good will to stand up, man.
00:45:59.000We need people to become more organized and more active.
00:46:03.000I guess the issue is that there's too many... Maybe the fault lies with the average working American who is... I wouldn't say comfortable, in a sense.
00:46:11.000I mean, you're always striving and struggling in some respect, but pulled out of the fight in general.
00:46:16.000I don't think average Americans need to be involved in a battle against Pete or anything like that.
00:46:23.000I just, I see all this bad stuff that's happening, whether it be the stuff we normally rag about with, you know, with critical race, applied principles, and now with, you know, what's going on with these experiments.
00:46:33.000And I'm like, man, if people were just all calm, reasonable, mature, but active and voiced their opinions, this stuff would never happen.
00:46:43.000Half the things that people want to say about, like, The way that you would want to respond to people grafting dead baby parts onto a rat would get you banned on any social media platform.
00:46:55.000Even discussing it, even talking about that happening.
00:46:57.000Not only... It's not even just about social media platforms.
00:47:00.000If you bring that up in front of people, they're gonna look at you like you're crazy.
00:47:06.000The fact that they're not as an outrage, the fact that that happened, and also the fact that the story broke a while ago, basically no one talked about it at the time, and no one really knows about it anymore now, is insane.
00:47:25.000Now people know exactly what was going on and what we vowed to never let happen again.
00:47:29.000So, when you see any of these stories, as horrible as they are, How do we, how do we tolerate any of this?
00:47:35.000It's, it made me think of North Korea, Yeonmi Park, or struggling so de- like in North Korea everyone's starving.
00:47:41.000So they don't have time to think about anything other than where's my food, I need to get food, and all they do- And we're not starving and all we think about is food.
00:47:49.000and when we're gonna get our next meal, and how we can sit on the couch and entertain
00:47:53.000ourselves in front of the television or with our smartphone.
00:48:33.000I think the internet for all of its wonders, there's a lot of negatives to it because for, you know, for every action, there's an equal and opposite and the internet's an amazing stuff.
00:48:39.000Here we are, you know, talking to you, but it's like you said, Seamus, it's also, it's, it's, man, it's, it plugged people into this machine where they've gone nuts.
00:48:51.000When a regular person of strong mental fortitude sees dumb stuff on the internet, they are discerning and they can reject or say, you know, I don't trust this or I'll research or I'll look into it more.
00:49:02.000But when stupid people see it, they just plug right in and say, you got it.
00:49:07.000And they follow along with whatever nightmarish trend happens.
00:49:11.000And that's the crazy thing, you know, I see a lot of people tweeting like, I wonder how it went, how did people let it get to that point?
00:49:16.000And, you know, throughout history, it's not, I'm not talking about World War II, because it's over, it's cited so often, it's, you know, Godwin's Law.
00:49:23.000But you think about any dictatorial uprising, how did people let that happen?
00:49:27.000We had a guy in here who was fighting against Castro, when he was a young man.
00:49:31.000Caster took over and it was like it was a revolution and everyone was cheering for Ben slowly and slowly and slowly Caster kept doing more and more script things until he controlled everything and it's like how did people let that happen?
00:49:41.000Because it's one small thing at a time.
00:49:43.000I'm not gonna stand up and I'm not gonna say anything that might upset the people around me over this small issue and then it just piles on and piles on and piles on and before you know it it's far too late to do anything.
00:50:51.000You're right, and I think we can also lighten the mood a little bit by giving a good example of bad leadership and what happens when you have a population that just blindly marches behind blind leadership and refuses to accept it.
00:51:04.000We have a series of stories, actually.
00:51:06.000The first of which is that Ron DeSantis said to Joe Biden, I don't want to hear a blip out of you until you secure the border, because he accused Joe Biden of importing the virus.
00:51:16.000What is it, like 7,000 7,000 in McAllen, Texas tested positive, I believe.
00:52:06.000Yeah, and now there's a really funny article, it was like, it was from the Independent, Ron DeSantis' popularity plummets after Joe Biden says Governor.
00:53:57.000from Politico, where they're like, conveniently, when Joe Biden was put in charge of Iraq, his brother got all the contracts for building things there.
00:54:03.000Hold on, that's an unverified conspiracy theory, Toby.
00:54:33.000Earlier I was reading an article on the Biden administration repealing the Trump-era rules against federal funding going towards research done on unborn children who were killed in abortion.
00:54:43.000And the article described the Trump regulations as very strict.
00:54:47.000These very strict Trump-era regulations are being unwinded by Joe Biden!
00:55:03.000Is it that people, the theory, the idea is that people are going to get abortions, so you may as well use... That's what we were saying, basically.
00:55:12.000They're like, oh, look at all the fetal tissue.
00:55:19.000Remember that South Park episode where Christopher Reeves was... So in the episode Christopher Reeves is in a wheelchair and then he takes a baby and he cracks it open and then he sucks it dry and then he stands up from his wheelchair.
00:55:34.000The South Park guys are brilliantly funny.
00:55:37.000The issue was though they were mocking the idea as if it didn't happen.
00:55:41.000Look, obviously, Christopher Reeves never did that.
00:55:44.000There's nobody who's literally taking the babies and cracking them open.
00:55:50.000I guess they were exaggerating for humor's sake, but we see these stories since 2015.
00:55:55.000Well, and also, I mean, you can do stem cell research without killing unborn children.
00:56:00.000There are, I mean, the umbilical cord is rich in stem cells.
00:56:03.000There are also stem cells that they've been able to extract from adults, and they tend to be more effective in experiments than the ones that are coming from children they're killing.
00:56:09.000I'm gonna tell you, man, once we get into the AI era, all sense of human decency is gone.
00:56:46.000So we had Jack Posobiec telling us how, like, you know, the Democrats or the U.S.
00:56:50.000politicians go over there and they're like, you can just basically crush an entire residential neighborhood and build a highway, and they're like, yup.
00:56:55.000We're not even at that level in the United States, necessarily.
00:56:58.000We have, like, oh, there's a lawsuit in the Constitution, an eminent domain, the Fifth Amendment, you've gotta pay, you know, et cetera.
00:57:03.000Yeah, once you get to the AI level, they're gonna be like, the robot's gonna just, in the blink of an eye, be like, we need, you know, 5,000 living adult humans to figure out how X does Y or something.
00:57:17.000And there will be literal people just completely treated like cabbage garbage.
00:58:51.000So there will be untold cruelty because cruelty doesn't exist in the mind of the machine trying to find the most efficient end.
00:58:56.000But a lot of what would happen, this is nightmarish, so first we talked about algorithmic psychosis on this channel quite a bit.
00:59:02.000How people go on social media and then just get fed a rotating cycle of insane content which makes them go insane over a certain amount of time.
01:00:12.000Well, I mean, so the problem with AI, theoretically, would be the same problem that we have with anything humans construct, whether it's an algorithm, whether it's public policy.
01:00:20.000There's the law of unintended consequences.
01:00:23.000Anytime humans try to set up a structure to get a certain kind of behavior from a person or group of people, they end up with something other than what they were shooting for.
01:00:31.000Sometimes it's successful, but I'm not sure if you've heard of the Cobra Effect, or if I've ever talked about this on the show.
01:00:35.000So, there was, I can't even remember the country.
01:00:37.000I actually, I believe this was in British-occupied India.
01:00:42.000There were cobra infestations and so what they did was they said we will pay people for every cobra tail that they bring us because then they'll be out there killing cobras, they have an economic incentive to do so, they'll bring the carcasses to us, we'll give them money.
01:00:54.000What happened was people started finding male and female cobras and starting breeding operations so they could kill the cobras, bring them to the British government and get money and so the population of cobras increased.
01:01:07.000There's a story I was reading on Reddit, and they said that they programmed an AI to play Tetris, hoping to see highest level play.
01:01:15.000Like, level 100, it's going so fast you can't even see the screen!
01:01:42.000I think we've talked about the AI future where I've said like, you know, you'll wake up and your phone will vibrate and it'll be like free credit opportunity.
01:01:58.000And then there'll be another guy walking down the street, and he'll be like, turn left here, and, you know, pick up this strange object from this man.
01:02:05.000And you'll walk by, and you'll see the guy, and there's his picture, and he'll hand you a weird black orb, and you'll go, okay!
01:02:10.000And then it'll say, now walk three feet and hand it to the woman.
01:02:14.000Because what's happening is, wherever you are and you're walking, the AI has found a method of delivering that object that it needs to a certain area faster than you just going and doing it.
01:02:23.000So you're getting these random instructions you don't quite understand.
01:02:27.000The scary thing is, eventually someone's going to get one, and it's going to be like, turn left here, and they're going to fall off a cliff.
01:02:32.000And then they're going to go into the ground, and holding the orb, and then someone walks up and picks up the orb from the carcass and walks away.
01:02:37.000Because the AI doesn't value you as an individual.
01:03:34.000Matt, what do you think's going to happen when we start getting more and more robots to replace more and more of our lives?
01:03:38.000Dude, I had my GPS recently tell me to take a U-turn immediately after merging onto the highway when there was a barrier between the sides of the highway that you can drive on.
01:03:50.000So like, literally, it was just telling me to kill myself.
01:03:56.000It's gonna be, uh, unfun, but, uh... And then, you know what's the best part?
01:04:00.000I just went onto the highway normal-like, and then in order to get me off the highway and turn around, it, like, specifically had me go through two tolls.
01:04:26.000We've already got computer programs that tell us what to do with our day.
01:04:30.000Think about how much time you waste on social media.
01:04:32.000Sometimes I'm wearing the watch, and then in the middle of the day, it'll vibrate, and then it shows a little man who's like middle-aged, like a middle-aged kind of tubby guy, and he's like doing like this or whatever, and going like that, and it's like, time to get up, and I'm like, time to get up.
01:05:36.000When you're- when you're staring at your phone, you're getting those dopamine hits, you're seeing the likes and the retweets, and you're like, oh man, you gotta break that spell, man!
01:05:43.000It's- no, I'm just saying, like, I am the first to admit I have a problem with it.
01:05:47.000When you make any of your living on social media, you have this justification for looking at it and engaging with your audience, but it's really easy to justify an addiction that way.
01:05:55.000There's a really simple way to break the addiction to likes and views and retweets.
01:06:00.000You just need to have several million followers, get over a hundred million views in a single month.
01:06:05.000No, no, but in all honesty, once there's nowhere left to go, you lose all reward triggering from the entire system, and you lose any and all emotion related to any of it.
01:07:41.000I've gotten better at that because they're like over the past year, especially, I feel like I've had a lot of like, it's a weird way of putting it, but steady ups and downs.
01:07:53.000And so it's gotten to the point where I don't worry about it too much, but I think it has to happen to you enough.
01:07:58.000It has to happen to you enough to the point where you know not to be concerned when you're in those dips.
01:08:02.000We just need to educate kids about this stuff before they get into it.
01:08:05.000A couple years ago, it was like in May, and I put up a video and the views were just in the gutter, and I was like, did I do something wrong?
01:08:40.000And so then I thought about it, and I looked up, it had been raining the entire week.
01:08:44.000And so everybody was inside, watching your videos, your views are good, and then the sunny spring day happens, and all of the families wanted to go out to eat in the nice weather.
01:09:06.000I just want to mention one more thing because it's on this topic.
01:09:10.000We have not, you mentioned we should be teaching kids about this stuff.
01:09:14.000And it's so crazy because we have no idea how to navigate social media in a truly healthy way.
01:09:20.000And it's not just social media, it's instant connection and communication.
01:09:23.000So I was thinking about this a while ago.
01:09:25.000If you had some kind of universal PA system in cars, the way truckers have them, where you can just communicate with other truckers, people would immediately start killing each other.
01:09:57.000So you can literally, if you have the broadcaster, I'm pretty sure that's illegal to do, so don't do it.
01:10:02.000But if you had a powerful broadcaster, you could literally pull up next to a car and broadcast through their speakers whether they wanted you to or not.
01:11:16.000But I guess the other thing I wanted to mention is it's not even just social media.
01:11:19.000You look at the instant communication that we have with our cell phones, SMS.
01:11:23.000You have an obligation to upkeep relationships with people when you're not even seeing them that day.
01:11:26.000People will be upset with you for not texting them back quickly enough.
01:11:29.000In the past, it was completely normal to go a day or two without having conversations with people who you were close to, but now it's constant, and people will even be upset if you're not giving them space in your life and attention when you're not with them that day.
01:11:44.000You know, Ian, I'm sure everybody here understands this.
01:11:46.000I remember, it's like, I'm a little kid, and I'm going to my friend's house, gonna go see if they're home, walk across the alley, because we know our friend lives on the next street over, so we walk through the alley, go to the house, knock on the door, there's no answer, and I go, I guess I'm not gonna hang out with him today.
01:12:01.000And some days, some days, I'd answer and my friend's mom would answer and I'd be like, you know, as my friend home, she'd be like, oh, he's at the park.
01:12:22.000I remember when I was a kid, just like going out to my friend's house or calling them on the landline, asking their parents if they were home.
01:12:27.000It's like Dr. Manhattan, you know, in Watchmen when he's at the final Antarctic fortress or whatever and Ozymandias has been sent in tachyons to obstruct Dr. Manhattan's future sight.
01:12:38.000And then he says, you know, he's like, I want to thank you.
01:12:40.000I'd almost forgotten the joy of not knowing.
01:12:44.000Bro, before the internet, before cell phones, life was an adventure.
01:12:48.000You didn't know where you were going or why you were going there.
01:12:50.000We'd like walk down the old freight tracks and then find like an old abandoned shipping yard.
01:15:25.000I really do think that is good for her, especially everything she's been through with her family and all this insanity.
01:15:30.000I've been playing a lot of RimWorld, and in the game, if you put someone in a dark cage and they have a psychotic break, sometimes they'll have a shift of faith.
01:15:50.000But I've been so frustrated watching Republicans, like, clamor to defend Britney Spears when we have political prisoners who are sitting in jail since January 6th.
01:16:01.000We have Julian Assange sitting in prison.
01:16:03.000We have all these political prisoners and they're like, Free Britney, guys!
01:16:09.000But I think that's fair, because we were talking about unborn children being killed, but then also you care about animal rights.
01:16:15.000I think the unborn children thing is significantly more important, but that doesn't mean it's wrong for you to be as informed as you are about PETA.
01:16:20.000I remember back in 2018 when I said Republicans were too stupid to deal with social media censorship to save their own careers.
01:16:32.000It's like, Ilhan Omar can come out and word vomit all over a group of people, and then the Democrats are like, well, now, let's not be too hasty.
01:16:38.000And then Marjorie Taylor Greene posts something before getting elected, and they're all like, let's strip her of her committees and punish her.
01:17:19.000You know, we like to say that they're the speed bump for the Democrats, but they're more like the gatekeepers, making sure that nobody gets in the way and allows the Democrats to do whatever they want.
01:18:30.000That, that's actually given me some, uh, you know, I don't know, white pill, I guess you can call it, but I guess the bigger question is whether or not the libertarian party can pull off any victories.
01:18:38.000I really think it would be an incredible thing if we had at least one libertarian party candidate in the, in, in the house or something like that.
01:18:53.000My whole voting strategy is vote for the most pragmatic pro-life candidate possible.
01:18:59.000And it gets difficult when the libertarian party's involved in a national election and they split up the vote.
01:19:04.000But honestly, I think local elections are unbelievably important, if not more important.
01:19:08.000If you got a pro-life libertarian, again, even though I don't consider myself libertarian anymore, oftentimes they're going to be a better option than a Republican.
01:19:14.000Now, of course, again, you get into this issue of splitting up the vote, but that's not always the case.
01:20:48.000If you had good people like from the Mises Caucus in the party who are actually gonna stand up against the federal government when they try to impose these lockdowns on their county, which I think Libertarians in the Mises Caucus would be far more likely to do than Republicans, then I would say, okay, that's a good person to vote for.
01:21:02.000But if we're talking about these sort of milquetoast people who are in favor of garbage like CRT and SAIT, Can we get sane, liberty-minded individuals?
01:21:09.000Yeah, you have a right to like force your perversion onto children.
01:21:48.000I don't want the idea of the scraggly, degenerate, fox, libertarian, ruining the idea of respecting individual liberties and being on the liberty side.
01:21:58.000The problem is, people who are for liberty tend to be more individualist and don't organize.
01:22:03.000They're like, leave me alone, I'll do my thing, and then what happens?
01:22:07.000Everything goes insane and the lunatics take over.
01:22:12.000I think it's technology is the way, if you really are a liberty-minded, sane individual, you should be building technology that will help solve like social media algorithm problems, you know, shipping and materials so that we can get drone deliveries organized all over the world.
01:22:30.000We're not going to write our way out of this with politics.
01:24:19.000Show up, just for the sake of entertainment, to dance and sing and play music and clap and do... That's how you defuse the violence from these extremists.
01:24:45.000It's like, oh no, there's a clash in the street.
01:24:46.000Imagine instead, a bunch of clowns showed up.
01:24:49.000And they came with flowers and they were dancing and happy and they were getting in the way of the extremists and they were going in between the black bloc.
01:24:56.000How are you going to say a bunch of clowns are the bad guys when they're there with flowers and they're laughing and playing music and dancing and everyone's just like, it breaks that violence apart.
01:25:06.000I honestly, I gotta say, I think that could stop a riot.
01:25:09.000You see Antifa going out there and they're smashing windows and screaming, send in the clowns, man.
01:25:24.000If society came to me and said, what you're doing is wrong, and we want to lock you up for it, I'd be like, can I take a boat and just go off and do my own thing?
01:25:35.000I think they banished Lenin from Russia or from Soviet Union and they banished Napoleon from France, but they both came back like worse than ever.
01:25:43.000Napoleon came back and started another war and so did Lenin.
01:26:04.000And I think there was a study that said they actually found that it eliminated the criminal tendencies because people started working together to survive.
01:26:12.000And, you know, I'm like, maybe that's a better way to do it.
01:26:14.000Instead of having people in these institutionalized, you know, penitentiaries where they're not actually being rehabilitated, they're being institutionalized.
01:26:21.000We let people, you know, we obviously monitor their health and safety.
01:26:25.000We're not sending people to an island just starve to death.
01:26:27.000But it's like your day is your day. You're responsible for yourself. You can't leave
01:26:32.000We won't let you but you're free to roam as you please and there would be housing and then it's just like there you go
01:26:38.000We've we've removed the threat from society and now you're off over there doing whatever you want
01:26:42.000I think they would form like militias and abuse With no weapons?
01:27:11.000And I think, why should we spend so much money locking them in these big facilities, desperately trying to contain the threat, instead of being like, you have forfeited, you know, the social contract and we're gonna send you over there and you can go do whatever you want, just not here with us.
01:27:25.000I think prison exacerbates the problem a lot of times.
01:27:28.000They go sit there with other criminals in a violent environment.
01:27:31.000What if we make them, and hear me out, you know, they're in these tunnels, and they stand on this pedestal that raises them up, and then there's, you know, 20, 23 other people, and there's in the middle a bunch of weapons, and they're in this big dome, and then the countdown happens, and then whoever survives in the end wins, and is called the victor, and then we do that every year.
01:30:22.000It was sold out, so I had bought like three different showings of it.
01:30:26.000I got an outfit for it because I love Suicide Squad.
01:30:31.000I love anything involving the Joker and so I was amped and then I went and saw it and I was just like me and like five other people that were random people that were in the theater were screaming at it.
01:32:14.000A working class guy doing cleanup on a contract, he already bought the gear, and then the government comes in and says, you're out, and he's like, come on guys, we already bought the equipment, we gotta pay this off, I got people to feed, and they're like, so what?
01:32:27.000And so he gets screwed over by the government and he becomes this like, I'm going to take whatever I have to take kind of villain.
01:33:49.000If you haven't already, give us a super chat, smash that like button, subscribe to the channel, go to TimCast.com, become a member.
01:33:53.000We've got some new shows in the works, hopefully soon.
01:33:58.000Oh, so you know, like, the mystery show.
01:33:59.000I've got so much to tell you, Cassandra.
01:34:01.000Yeah, we've got a ton of stuff being done.
01:34:04.000We've got tons of people working on it.
01:34:05.000We've had a bunch of really great stories.
01:34:08.000for those that are listening it is coming the branding is is we're working on the artwork and i think you'll get a kick out of the the vibes we're going for so anyway let's read some of these super chats matthew hammond says cassandra is the best and needs her own timcast.com show please make this happen tim her typed words are not enough I hate being on camera and I only agreed to this because Tim said that I could bully Peeta.
01:35:16.000So they've got to do it offshore or something now.
01:35:17.000They've got to pay a company to do it for them.
01:35:19.000Do you guys ever watch The Isle of Dr. Moreau?
01:35:21.000Do you imagine just like a facility full of like weird like animal people?
01:35:27.000I watched some kind of like conspiracy documentary that claimed that there's something like that in the US once and I was really really into it but this was years ago and I can't remember what it was but it was interesting just in like the weird like I mean you watch it thinking like this isn't probably isn't true but it's interesting to watch right yeah they were claiming that there were like goat people and stuff now I'm like maybe All right, let's see.
01:36:23.000I remember hearing that, because I was listening to something from Rand Paul, and he said, you know, he was an OB-GYN, life begins at conception, and then someone mentioned, someone argued with it, saying it's not true, and they were like, in California, it's a double homicide.
01:36:35.000How can they justify that being true, but then argue the inverse when it comes to abortion?
01:36:42.000Actually, that would have been a good point to ask Vosh when he was here, because he said, he was asked when does he think life begins, and he says, I don't know, birth, maybe?
01:38:04.000They take the path of least resistance.
01:38:05.000Whatever they have to do to preserve their status quo is something they're going to be willing to do.
01:38:09.000So if they feel that their political career is contingent upon them opposing the dismemberment of unborn children and humans being used for scientific research, then they might just be against it.
01:38:20.000Unless you're addicted to losing, do something about this.
01:38:22.000I would like to issue a legitimate Apology to people who are upset by hearing everything we talk about, but just hope you understand that we need to talk about it.
01:39:18.000How many people complain about Amazon, right and left alike, but they're dropping that stimulus check on new shoes shipped right to their door?
01:40:03.000A-Tree Broker says, I work on farms every day.
01:40:06.000There is no such thing as factory farms, the made-up lefty definition.
01:40:09.000If you'd like to talk about it, hit me up.
01:40:10.000Alright, well, whatever you want to call it, I have seen the farms where the conditions are horrible, and I have seen the farms where the conditions are fantastic.
01:40:18.000I can drive around this area, and every single farm is beautiful, like a fairy tale.
01:40:46.000They're like, people want to see this so much they'll pay us just to stand here?
01:40:50.000But then look at some of these other farms where it's all dirt and mud and they're loaded up and it's like, call that whatever you want to call it.
01:40:56.000But no one's going to be going there to pet the muddy, diseased animals.
01:44:18.000And so, like, we were all chilling in the living room with, like, the movie on, and he comes in and jumps up on a chair, and he's, like, sitting in a chair, and everybody, and, you know, he's doing his thing.
01:44:35.000Bro, Tim, I told you yesterday that I was going to wear a suit and then it was going to be my podcast because I was the one wearing a suit.
01:45:53.000We needed a better way to get the cameras in, and so it was gonna take really long cables, and we were like, we need to move this to better have the, like, to have the layout better.
01:46:01.000And, uh, so now there's also a dog on the property too, which is gonna, it's basically all the, all the critters are gone.
01:46:06.000And we are, we are also incubating some of the babies.
01:46:09.000If you want to send eggs, what about some fertilized ones that we can put in the incubator and then make more chickens?
01:46:49.000I think that it's always been a cash grab.
01:46:52.000See, when they take these animals, anytime that an animal is seized under the Endangered Species Act, The government will pay for their care.
01:46:59.000They basically pay child support and welfare.
01:47:02.000And so all of this, it's all about money.
01:47:04.000I don't believe that they are actually genuinely doing anything other than trying to get teenage girls to do naked stunts for their... Yeah, isn't that disgusting?
01:47:16.000They've also, you know, they've also done like a lot of anti-Catholic stuff too.
01:47:19.000I know they try to get real edgy by like having naked women in their Yeah, I can't think of anything good that they've done.
01:47:30.000I mean, maybe letting people see what happens to, like, baby chicks.
01:47:35.000You know, they've released some footage of that.
01:47:36.000But I don't even think that they're the ones that got it.
01:47:38.000I think they just steal it from other people.
01:47:40.000Like, you know, there was Phil up in Canada who blew the whistle on Marineland.
01:47:47.000And he was a walrus trainer, and he did all these amazing things, and then when Marineland came after him and started, you know, the lawsuits, PETA was nowhere to be found.
01:47:57.000They were fundraising off his name, and then they did not help at all with his legal fees or anything like that, and they're still fundraising using Marineland's name, and they're just terrible.
01:48:56.000I mean, these are all facts that you can go... If you go to PETAKILLSANIMALS.COM, they have all the documents from the Virginia inspectors.
01:49:04.000They have a plethora of information that you can go dig through yourself.
01:50:28.000There's a Bigfoot group that actually meets in our neighborhood.
01:50:35.000And there's, you know, there's people who swear that there's a juvenile Bigfoot that live around our We've been talking about underground caves on earth like that.
01:50:43.000We don't really know much about and there could be lots of life What if they have the ability to phase through solid matter and that's why we don't see them because as soon as they notice They're there.
01:50:53.000They're just slings down underground by phasing through matter.
01:51:37.000If everybody was earnestly like, you know, if it was, it would have had to have been a creature that was very tall and had arms like a human, but not a human.
01:51:50.000I will say, though, people at the range got really mad because during the search, they were walking, sweeping through the forest, and people were actively shooting.
01:52:08.000Alright, Christopher Coulter says, morally indefensible acts remain indefensible despite the scientific value.
01:52:13.000And there is a perverse incentive structure inherent to the argument, even if the scientists have no direct involvement in the abortion of the child.
01:52:25.000Well, this is why we need philosophy and there's so many scientists who scoff at this too.
01:52:29.000I've heard people who are very popular, I won't name names, but who consider themselves activists for science and they'll say, well, science gets you real results and philosophy is stupid.
01:52:37.000It's like, all right, what year is it?
01:52:40.000We still don't have a perfectly completed science of Diet, frankly.
01:52:45.000People still argue for what we should be eating, but we've been able to create bombs using the scientific method that have killed 200,000 people with one drop, right?
01:52:52.000In Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I should say two drops.
01:52:54.000My point is, science is an incredibly powerful tool, but it needs to be constrained by ethics.
01:53:09.000The computer AI solution was to send people outside the dome to die and erase the memory of that person from citizen memory.
01:53:15.000I just saw this, it was just on recently, and it's a really good episode.
01:53:18.000Basically what happens is, for those unfamiliar with Stargate, there's a portal, it's called the Stargate, and they're exploring a network of addresses they have to all these different planets.
01:53:25.000They go to one, and they send this machine, like the drone, and then they see the whole planet.
01:53:31.000It's like the atmosphere is totally toxic.
01:54:46.000And so the AI was like, to prevent chaos and rioting and panic, just erase using the link into people's minds to erase their memory of the people.
01:54:57.000They wouldn't be able to find a solution because they didn't know there was a problem.
01:55:00.000And that's a really, I think, a really good point about AI too, is that the AI is like, this is going to allow them to survive as long as possible.
01:55:07.000But with human ingenuity, perhaps if they knew there was a problem, they could have fixed their energy crisis, but the machine didn't care.
01:55:13.000I mean, unfortunately, this is what happens with a lot of totalitarian leaders.
01:55:16.000They say things like, well, I will improve the human condition for everyone if I just kill this handful of people, and then it ends up spiraling out of control, and it's more than a handful of people, but you don't need some dystopian artificial intelligence to get you there.
01:57:06.000I think it's funny that when you watch movies like Demolition Man, they really thought back in the 80s and early 90s that the future would be pay phones with like cameras so you could see people.
01:57:17.000Or like they would go to their wall and press the button and they would see it's like a video phone was the idea.
01:57:22.000And then we did make it, but nobody predicted that we'd have computers in our pockets.
01:57:27.000It would actually probably be better for humanity if our interface technology for looking at someone else's face when they're far away from us was a kind of payphone structure because we wouldn't have this thing in our pocket all the time distracting us from everything.
01:58:10.000I'm not gonna lie to you, there have been times when I've been drawing on paper, and I make a mistake, and for half a second I think to click undo.
01:58:17.000If you could develop precognition and see five seconds into the future, would you?
01:58:38.000No, this is really so it's it's Nicolas Cage. Oh, I have seen this. I think it's a great movie. I think it's really
01:58:43.000it's fun He can he can see a certain amount of time into the future
01:58:47.000So he's able to make these moves like perfectly but there's one scene
01:58:51.000It's brilliant where he's looking for someone in a room and it's gonna end in an industrial setting and then you see
01:58:57.000him walk forward And then all of a sudden four versions of him walk out in
01:59:00.000each different direction Because what he's doing is, he's walking forward, and then using his precognition, looking at what happens if he walks forward and turns left, walks forward, turns right, walks forward, goes forward again, turns left.
01:59:12.000And so he's seeing everything all at once, and then he goes, they're there in the back of the left room.
01:59:16.000And then he just instantly knows, because he can see.
01:59:18.000It's not just about seeing the future, it's about seeing the future of all the different possibilities of the actions you might take.
01:59:24.000But what we just talked about earlier, you get cheat codes, things are boring.
01:59:50.000But it would be great because you'd be like, I want to try the craziest trick, and then you see the future of you falling and breaking your leg.
01:59:56.000You still gotta get the skills to be able to do the trick.
02:00:03.000What if there are things which are inherently risky, and if you do them enough to get good, you have to get hurt at some point, but you never allow yourself to get hurt because of the precognition, so you never get good.
02:00:25.000But you have this precognition, and you avoid anything that's going to hurt you because you think there's a way of getting good without getting hurt.
02:00:34.000I go skating every day, and I know I'm going to fall, and I fell several times today.
02:00:39.000Granted, I've been rollerblading more than skateboarding recently.
02:00:41.000Sure, but you get out there and you skate, but before you fall, you don't know that you're any more likely to fall than you were at any other time when you get on your skateboard, right?
02:00:54.000But you don't know for sure you're going to fall.
02:00:55.000Like if you could see five seconds into the future and you knew you were going to fall off your skateboard this time, you might be less likely to do it.
02:01:02.000Well, it depends because a bail isn't a slam.
02:01:06.000Sometimes you slam and slamming messes you up and takes you out.
02:02:04.000But all the farms out here, they're so beautiful.
02:02:07.000It's so much fun when you go, like I went to one farm and they had this big pen and they had like a hundred chickens and it was hilarious just watching them all do that.
02:02:15.000There was a young rooster, it was tiny, and he was like smack talking and like strutting around and I'm like, look at this pathetic little thing, it's hilarious!
02:02:21.000And then you walk over and the goats are jumping off stuff and you know, it's hilarious.
02:02:25.000Dude, you have a rooster that talks some smack on the compound.
02:02:28.000Yes, we didn't know he had a rooster too, we thought he was a chick.
02:02:30.000He's just constantly screaming all the time.
02:02:33.000He doesn't have the spikes on his feet.
02:02:36.000So the farmer thought it was a hen, a baby, a female, and so we weren't expecting it a rooster, and then all of a sudden started becoming a rooster and going, and we were like, what was that?
02:05:53.000My mother used to work in a like an anti-abortion support clinic where these people would go if they were thinking about having an abortion.
02:06:00.000My mom was like, please don't have an abortion.
02:06:02.000We have these clothes, we have diapers, we have everything you need.
02:06:05.000And I thought that was wonderful because that was one of the one of the greatest things she did.
02:06:25.000It's important to know that many, many women who have had abortions say that it's because they didn't feel they had any other option, they had no other support.
02:06:38.000I just, I can't stand the meme from the left where they say like, conservatives don't, you know, are pro-life until the baby's born.
02:06:46.000And I'm like, I don't think they follow any conservatives.
02:06:48.000Cause like, I follow a bunch of conservatives and they're always posting about orphanages and like taking care of kids and adopting and providing support and donating.
02:06:55.000And I'm like, I don't think that's true.
02:06:56.000I think you just want to believe it's true because it kind of absolves you of some responsibility to blame someone else.
02:07:41.000You gotta get out of that propaganda bubble, man, because you're allowed to have whatever politics you want, so long as you can recognize, like, objective reality.
02:07:48.000And we all kind of disagree on a lot of things, but at least we can have real conversations about things that we...
02:07:54.000As for this show, Nightmarish, but I'll leave it there.
