In this episode of The Timcast:RL, we talk about the coronavirus pandemic, the New York City government digging mass graves, and why we should all be optimistic about the future of space exploration.
00:02:07.000Yeah, and so apparently, I could be wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure somebody asked Bill de Blasio, the mayor, like, hey, what's going on with these prison inmates digging mass graves for the COVID dead?
00:02:54.000But the first problem I have with this article from Vox is like, you can't spend the past several years talking about how there's like no sex differences and all this weird social justice stuff.
00:03:03.000I'm not saying they're the worst, but now all of a sudden when there's science involved and men are dying more, like double, twice the rate women are, now it's like, hmm, why is this?
00:04:07.000It's a mix because half of it is showing what we had prepared for, say, a pandemic that would have hit us on Mars if we were to find one and have it run through us.
00:04:29.000It'd be cool if they do experiments in Antarctica.
00:04:33.000We were reading a story, I think it was last week, that they found evidence that Antarctica used to be a tropical paradise, jungle, whatever.
00:04:41.000Dig deep into the ice and it releases some ancient viruses or fungus that infects the human brain and turns them into host zombies that run around.
00:04:58.000Yeah, but as part of one of the themes we've talked about in the past several weeks, there's so many people who pretend like that would be fun.
00:05:45.000The Daily Mail reports workers in full hazmat suits bury rows of coffins in Heart Island Mass Grave, as New York City officials confirm coronavirus victims will be buried there if their bodies aren't claimed within two weeks after death toll rises to 4,260.
00:07:25.000Let me just say, these people who are begging for a zombie apocalypse and a nightmare dystopia, Like, wouldn't it be really cool if I lived in the future?
00:09:41.000Walked past, you know, across the street, you know, social distancing and all, but it, you know, it, it felt normal, you know, it didn't, it there's a, you know, that's why people were like, is it real?
00:09:55.000And obviously it's really happening, even though you can't see it, but it does feel like there's still bubbles of people that are life still kind of normal.
00:10:56.000That's, that's, that's, and it's only gonna get worse.
00:10:59.000And it's gonna get, yeah, it's gonna be increasingly, I don't know, man, look, New York City's population density, it's like 28,000 per square mile.
00:11:09.000People are living in smaller and smaller houses, microscopic apartments for insane amounts of money.
00:12:11.000New York State is like the epicenter of infections.
00:12:14.000And people keep trying to flock into these big cities.
00:12:20.000At a certain point, you can't sustain life that tightly packed.
00:12:23.000The crazy thing is, I have friends that are still in New York.
00:12:26.000They send me pictures, like, check out the park here.
00:12:29.000And there's people hanging out in the park.
00:12:32.000Not, not just like sporadically by themselves, but just, you know, hanging out in the park, like everything's normal.
00:12:39.000You know, the, the mayor actually took up all the, the hoops in the basketball courts, took them off.
00:12:44.000I don't know if you guys heard about this.
00:12:46.000It's because people kept playing basketball and it's like, you're sweating, you're coughing, you know, you're not coughing, but you're, you know, sweating all over each other, you know, playing basketball.
00:12:53.000Basketball is fun, but when there's a pandemic, you know, maybe you shouldn't play, but now they don't have a choice.
00:13:00.000Even outside of the pandemic, these photos of these people digging mass graves, like the defense was, no, we did this all the time.
00:14:39.000I mean, we're already plowing over everything.
00:14:43.000Yeah, and just more concrete, put more buildings up.
00:14:46.000Dude, you look at a map, a satellite map of the United States, and you see it's green, right?
00:14:52.000You see it's green on the East Coast, and then as you move to the Midwest, you start seeing a little brown in the Rockies and everything like that.
00:14:57.000I always thought it was like you were seeing trees and stuff.
00:15:47.000More coronavirus patients testing positive again after recovery report.
00:15:52.000And here I was getting all, I was feeling better because they were saying like, we think we're nearing the peak, we think we're gonna, you know, I think it was, you know, Trump's administration said May 1st, we're aiming for reopening.
00:16:32.000And what's really scary is if it does mutate and we make a vaccine for the first version, and by the time we make the vaccine and start working it into the population, if it mutates to something different, will we always just be chasing this?
00:17:11.000What are we eight billion seven billion seven point something billion?
00:17:14.000Maybe that's the line and then the the the population density is so intense the and plus with airplanes Yeah, and and the transport we have maybe this is the point where it's not even about the coronavirus But any virus this point could spread so fast that we can't have yeah, we are traveling everywhere.
00:17:31.000I Even if we had less people, it really is airplanes that have changed the game.
00:17:41.000And, you know, even then they had the first wave and the second wave, and then I think there's like a third wave, but even as bad as it is right now, it's, we're not, you know, it was like, what, 20 million died of the Spanish flu.
00:17:52.000Right, but can you imagine if they had airplanes as normal as it is now?
00:19:00.000I mean, we're lucky enough to have a house in the backyard and some, you know, open space, but I can't imagine these people are going to get restless.
00:19:09.000New York City is going to be a nightmare.
00:22:11.000I think people think that they're going to be on a roller coaster.
00:22:14.000I think the only thing that would cause this kind of post-apocalypse we usually think of is something like someone attacking us on our shores, which we've already established is not going to happen.
00:22:25.000Having actually been in places where there are explosions and people shooting at each other, There's this feeling you get watching these action movies where you see like the hero do a backflip, you know, and like land perfectly and then do like roundhouse kick the bad guy who then falls into the meat grinder.
00:22:56.000You're standing there and then all of a sudden you're shaking and you're like about to throw up because your stomach's clenching because there's people screaming and stabbing each other.
00:23:18.000All these people who are like, man, it'd be so cool, like, you know, like Red Dawn or whatever, they would, it would be five minutes until their buddy's head got blown off where they'd be sobbing in the corner, crying, begging for how the world used to be.
00:24:21.000And I'm sitting there like, listening to this guy talk, and he's like, there's a bunch of women, we're like sitting at a table, it was like lunch.
00:24:28.000And he's like, listen, here's what you gotta do, you know, like, when you're dealing with this stuff, and I'm just like, tell me, Weatherman, tell me more about how you respond to when the terrorists are kidnapping you.
00:24:37.000And then I was like, I shook my head, and I was just like, I started talking about what actually happens, and he's like, you think you know how this stuff goes on?
00:24:44.000And I was like, dude, I was like, first of all, everybody has a different reaction.
00:24:49.000You don't know, you've never been in situations, and you have?
00:26:42.000And I was like, this was back when smartwatches weren't a thing.
00:26:46.000Okay, so it was a a 4g watch that looked like a regular watch got him got him boom And so I told him I was like listen, man I was like in this in the stuff that I've done with my buddies who actually work in like infosec and actual opsec stuff We've gone through contingencies for how to deal with Legit top-tier full, you know full tech warfare to the best of our civilian understanding one of the things was like They actually said to charge your GPS and bring it with you.
00:27:15.000And I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:27:18.000Marie Colvin was a conflict journalist, and what we understand is that the Assad regime was tracking her sat phone, found out where she was, and then started shelling the building.
00:27:27.000So you don't want to have an active GPS signal they can track and figure out where you are.
00:28:05.000I would never consider myself to be an expert, within reason, but what I would always tell people, like when this guy's mouthing off about how he's like, here's what you gotta do, and here's... I'm like, listen, anybody who tells you they can guarantee you security and safety is lying to you.
00:28:21.000Anybody's gonna tell you here's definitively what you do is lying to you.
00:28:24.000And I said, we were talking specifically about what to do in the event of a kidnapping.
00:28:29.000And I said, so we did this mock scenario where we're going to interview.
00:30:18.000And they were like, oh, OK, stand back up, get back in line.
00:30:22.000And I'm like, so you fooled them twice.
00:30:24.000So the first time they're like, man, we shouldn't have at least, we could have told them to do whatever they wanted before they did what they did, and then we would have told them they were dead.
00:30:36.000This is what precipitated the guy who's talking about him knowing what he was doing, and then I was explaining why I ran in the first place, and why I feigned being sick.
00:30:45.000And I said, I can't tell you this would work, because you don't necessarily know the mentality of the people who are trying to kidnap you.
00:31:59.000However, at this time, we're talking about the expansion of some certain factions in the Middle East that glorify the execution of journalists on purpose.
00:32:47.000So I said, listen, no one's going to tell you.
00:32:51.000In fact, the people training specifically said, you can't predict these things, but we can maximize your opportunity by preparing you to the best of our abilities.
00:32:59.000And so I said, my instinct would always be, run.
00:34:23.000Where are we talking about patients getting tested again and getting... We're talking about macho meteorologist who thought he was a... Yeah, we were talking about the end of the world.
00:34:33.000You're like, I got a good story for this.
00:34:35.000Yeah, we were talking about how people think they're basically super tough and like... Right.
00:34:46.000As soon as someone landed on the shores in a U-boat and a bunch of like foreign Russians and Chinese or whatever started swimming on the beach, they'd be squealing like pigs and running full speed in the other direction.
00:34:56.000It wouldn't be people, it'd be robots.
00:35:00.000If there's going to be something that storms our shore, like in the future, like it's not going to happen right now, but if it was in the future, it wouldn't be people, it'd be robots.
00:35:12.000That's what they're trying to work on, like the military studying gamers' minds that play StarCraft to see how they work and what works and what is the best way, and they're turning it into Maybe in 50 years we will have mass-produced robots like
00:36:34.000What we're seeing with all this election meddling stuff and fake social media and sock puppets, It's more effective to manipulate the public into believing you than it is to actually go and force them to do anything.
00:36:54.000So, there's a couple ways you can take over cities, and one of them is through cultural pressure.
00:37:01.000Basically, if your civilization has massive cultural output, Eventually your boundaries will be pushing on another city who will then basically revolt and join you.
00:37:12.000So if you successfully convince an entire population that you're better and they should live the way you want to live, they're going to want to be like you as much as they can.
00:37:20.000And then you can take away the power of that government through cultural export.
00:37:23.000I mean, I see parallels with what's going on in China right now, because they're trying to convince their citizens that the U.S.
00:37:30.000dropped it in Wuhan, and that's what happened.
00:37:33.000And then there's videos of Chinese citizens probably risking death to send it out.
00:38:15.000So then you get a pro-Chinese YouTuber who makes videos saying, you know, I'm a conspiracy theorist and I believe crazy things and I think the U.S.
00:38:21.000is coming for me, clearly an attempt to manipulate and discredit me.
00:39:08.000If a soldier, like, think about false flags, right?
00:39:11.000Do you guys know about the Operation Northwoods?
00:39:14.000This was back in, I think it was the 60s, where, man, I'm gonna mess this up, and I know a lot of people who are listening probably know what I'm talking about.
00:39:21.000A guy named, like, L. Lemnitzer, or L.L.
00:39:24.000Lemnitzer or something, proposed dressing up people like Cuban soldiers and then attacking Florida.
00:39:37.000So, if a Chinese soldier was seen on camera violating the rights of somebody, that's a negative, you know, that's negative propaganda for them.
00:39:49.000If they put out videos where they're, like, helping children drink water and, like, saving lives and, like, building bridges, that's good.
00:39:56.000So if they actually engaged in war, and we filmed a boat crashing on the shores and a bunch of soldiers coming out and, you know, gunning down civilians, it would be a major negative event around the world because of the spread of information.
00:40:09.000It used to be that war was quiet and no one really knew what was going on.
00:40:13.000And because no one knew, the US would be like, our heroic soldiers stopped the evil, and everyone would believe it.
00:41:25.000They're finding the people like you, for example, that are like, I'm just reading everything and giving you my you know, view on it and it's not necessarily this, it's
00:41:35.000not necessarily this, but this is what I've found.
00:41:38.000You know, this is the truth that I've found and people are taking everything more with a grain of salt because
00:41:44.000it's too obvious that everyone's skewing everything to try to like, you know, push their biased opinion, you know?
00:41:52.000Yeah, but in terms of... that's very much like local politics, like American politics.
00:42:00.000I am thinking very in American, that's a good point.
00:42:04.000Yeah, the Democrats, you've got like progressive YouTubers who'll be like, oh, harumph these conservatives, and then you'll have conservative, oh, harumph these, you know, liberals, and then you'll have moderates like, you know, oh, harumph whoever.
00:42:20.000There's no progressive or lefty or Sanders supporter or even social justice activist who has said anything negative to me, as far as I can tell, over my criticisms of China.
00:42:43.000So the real issue is we do have internal political conflict, but I definitely think our foreign adversaries exploit that and try to make us fight each other more so we can't be focused on fighting them.
00:42:54.000But now that we have this pandemic, it's been pretty bad because everyone's kind of leaning more towards China bad.
00:43:03.000You know, still the media hates Trump so much and this is really dangerous for us.
00:43:08.000I think, you know what I really love about all of the like the super anti-government conspiracy theorist people is that the government can't even get control over all of this.
00:43:16.000It's like you really think the government, you know, in all of its different functions and forms and divisions is in control enough If that was the case, then they would get rid of all of the anti-America sentiment, which is rampant and insane.
00:43:35.000They're smearing us and they're doing all these things.
00:43:37.000And it's like, you can't even stop a few 13 hackers in Russia who spent a few thousand dollars and then not everyone's complaining about it.
00:43:45.000The US government has got power in a lot of ways.
00:43:49.000But they are not some all-powerful Illuminati entity twirling their mustaches.
00:43:55.000I'm sure there's a lot of things they do that would surprise you, and you'd be like, wow, I can't believe they do that.
00:43:59.000But when you've got adversarial conflict right now, the way it is with, like, China, you'd think the U.S.
00:44:05.000government would be like, we need propaganda that's pro-America, and people who are disruptive to America should be stopped.
00:44:10.000I don't think they don't do anything like that.
00:44:12.000I still can't believe that the media hasn't like spread the the whole China was bringing in these These diseases for the past five years.
00:44:23.000It's like a department of justice report, right?
00:44:26.000How how is the media not reporting on that spreading that like telling not spreading it because that it feels like spreading lies But like that's actually a report from the Department of Justice like, you know, you don't understand, you know, ABC News did what?
00:44:40.000They ran a story claiming that sources say that back in November they reported to, you know, White House officials that there was this outbreak coming.
00:44:50.000And then the, what is it, the National Center for Medical Intelligence, I think it's called, said no such report exists.
00:44:58.000ABC ran with the story anyway, because sources say.
00:45:01.000I don't know who the sources are, why you'd believe them, and you didn't publish any documents, so why should I believe you when the actual people there said that's not true?
00:45:08.000And China was lying about this in January and only found out in December.
00:45:14.000Why should I believe that your unnamed sources know better than the actual officials speaking out?
00:45:18.000Why should I trust the random nobodies?
00:45:45.000And unfortunately, we, there is no, I mean, I'm saying this as a joke, there's no grand, you know, all-American militaristic conspiracy to control everything.
00:45:56.000It would be so much more efficient for the U.S.
00:45:58.000to go after its adversaries if that was a real thing.
00:46:02.000Even when it comes to Hillary Clinton and the Qatar-Turkey pipeline and all that nonsense with Ukraine that was going on, they didn't even do a great job of it.
00:46:11.000It's just agendas and people and these things change in government.
00:46:17.000If we had a more efficient authoritarian government, we'd have a much easier time of going up against China like they do against us.
00:46:23.000Or containing the coronavirus, if we should believe them, by welding people's doors shut and leaving them to die in their houses.
00:47:00.000But I feel like based on everything that's happened so far, come November, especially with Joe Biden, we very well may see A mass majority of this country rally behind Trump and the administration.
00:47:53.000With social distancing, they were saying 200,000.
00:47:54.000Now they're saying, based on current numbers, it looks like 60.
00:47:58.000And Chris Hayes says the most cynical, you know, thing I can see, and I really don't want to believe it, or something like that, is that they fluffed the numbers up higher to anchor everyone to that number so that when the numbers were lower, people would think they did a good job.
00:49:14.000So what happens if we have a really serious catastrophe, like COVID gets worse or something, and then Trump really does do a good job?
00:49:21.000What's surprising to me is that even after the polls, the majority of polls are coming out in Trump's favor, The response from these people in media is, this can't be real, I refuse to believe it.
00:49:45.000So maybe by November we might be shocked to see, and I could be absolutely wrong about this, There's so much that could happen from now and then.
00:49:53.000That's another thing that really annoys me about, you know, these activists will like to go back and look at things you said to make it out of context, to make it look like you're stupid.
00:51:56.000That's just him being an eccentric, strange billionaire.
00:52:00.000Joe Biden says words but they don't make sentences.
00:52:03.000And someone posted, I think it was like a MedRx thing, about word salad.
00:52:08.000That when people are in the early stages of dementia, they start saying words, they're real words, but they don't make sense in their sentences.
00:52:15.000Well, that reminds me of a certain somebody running for president right now.
00:54:25.000Yeah, like my video where I'm like, Republicans are gonna sweep the House in 2018, the Democrats are gonna lose, and the next day I'm like, well, about that.
00:55:01.000Why are fewer women dying of the coronavirus?
00:55:03.000Thank you, Vox, for now coming out and explaining to us that biological sex is an important factor, particularly in healthcare, which I've been saying for a long time.
00:55:14.000I don't want to pretend like Vox is the worst of all these organizations that come out and straight up say there's no such thing as biological sex, which we've heard.
00:55:25.000But still, you know, because I've done a series of videos critiquing Vox for their very, very pro-intersectional view of gender and sex and all that stuff.
00:55:34.000But before we do, let's move over to the Super Chats to everybody who's been patiently waiting for us to read your comments.
00:55:55.000Ultimate Power says, if they bury all the bodies, then what will we eat?
00:55:59.000More importantly, when the apocalypse comes, I know what island I'm not- when the zombie apocalypse comes, I don't know which island I'm going to avoid.
00:58:30.000Holly Movie Star says, need segment on black Egyptian sarcophagus that people warned ancient curse would be unleashed on world if it was opened in 2018, it was still opened.
01:02:15.000And now they have one where, like, a bunch of other, like, former athletes are, like, a pro football player, and they're all- Wait, wait, let me guess.
01:04:35.000At the end when Dr. Manhattan says to Ozymandias, he's like, you know, it's the first time in a long time I didn't know it was going to happen.
01:04:42.000He's like, I want to thank you because, you know, you've, I've actually got to experience some not knowing.
01:05:55.000Because the bigger thing, I'm seeing, like on Twitter I see this from a lot of religious people saying that they've innovated to the best of their abilities to maintain services, communion, while social distancing.
01:06:05.000To respect our responsibility to society.
01:06:07.000And then you get these more... I don't necessarily want to say they're all crazy, but some of them are.
01:06:16.000And then, of course, you'll end up with many people on the left latching onto that to try and claim that everybody who's religious is causing the problem.
01:06:24.000When it's like, dude, the Smurf people contributed.
01:06:28.000Is it as bad as it could be based on some of these more kooky pastors?
01:06:33.000But when you actually seek out what's really going on with churches, I watched a video, I think it was even from like a mainstream news like BuzzFeed or something, where a priest was outside and they kept six feet and you could come up by yourself and receive communion.
01:06:49.000And it was like a very structured kind of drive-through thing.
01:07:10.000The Bundys, the Ammon Bundy I think his name is, said that they are going to have Easter worship and no one's gonna stop them and they will defend it with physical force if they have to.
01:07:56.000If the government comes out and says there's a plague, are you gonna be like, liar?
01:07:59.000Or are you gonna be like, I better stay inside?
01:08:01.000I do believe them because as far as I know, that's how I know there's, well, a pandemic, not necessarily a plague, but you know, it's like we're getting our information from the governments.
01:08:13.000And what happens if, in a month from now, it's completely gone and cleared up, but they keep saying, nope, nope, it's there, look at these numbers?
01:11:22.000First thing I'm going to do is I'm going to go to Best Buy and just walk around and be like, I'll take one of those, I'll take one of those, and then I'm going to return everything.
01:11:32.000Suba Bam Bam says, did you see the story on Fox News about the Georgia bar that removed close to $4K worth of dollars stapled to the inside as decoration and donated it to staff?
01:11:45.000Kate Bell says, never in a million years would I have, would, would, uh, never in a million years would have thought I would be trusting and have more faith in a skateboarding kid to comment on news stories in the MSN, MSM.
01:12:12.000And so those are the kids to you when you're older, they're still the kids, but now they're adults and they're like running businesses, you know?
01:16:33.000KX says, my elderly gay former meth dealing front desk secretary watches your vids every day on loudspeaker in our apartment lobby all day long every day for a year and a half straight.
01:19:23.000And some of the stuff they write, they know is total BS.
01:19:27.000Yeah, but they know it'll get the clicks.
01:19:29.000And then when I make videos and I'm like, look at this, I'll get a message where it's like, look, you know, I'm just saying, you know, I think, and I'm like, no, no, no, no, uh-uh.
01:19:37.000Whatever you say right now doesn't matter.
01:19:50.000Some of these people got into this thinking, like, I really want to go down there and report on, like, real issues of police brutality and, you know, civil rights and liberties and free speech, and now they're in their, you know, New York office writing about Brad Pitt's junk.
01:20:04.000And like the social justice implication of the white male gaze.
01:20:29.000You're the one who started this conversation.
01:20:31.000No, but typically the stuff they send me is like, it's not even an argument.
01:20:36.000It's just emotional venting where they're like, it's, it's, you know, like, oh, you think you're so big that you're going to, you're going to talk about what I'm doing to find whatever.
01:20:50.000I've reached out to like, uh, you know, some of these top, like, I'll, I'll just say like, I've reached out to Ben Smith, formerly of Buzzfeed when Buzzfeed's written fake news and they won't correct it.
01:21:14.000So it's probably factored into their business model.
01:21:16.000I wouldn't be surprised if these editor-in-chiefs or, like, the people running the business are actually projecting out, like, we've allotted for two fake news stories with a correction every month.
01:21:58.000And he was like, no way, dude, it's real.
01:22:00.000And I was like, are you kidding me, man?
01:22:01.000Look, I grew up in a mixed area on the south side of Chicago.
01:22:04.000Do you know what would happen if you walked up to somebody on the street and was like, you know, what up, my neighbor?
01:22:09.000They go like this ago, so and they keep walking right you could literally call them a slur and you know what they would do They'd be like What?
01:22:28.000Turns out, now, we know they're fake because new policy updates say, if you don't label this, so like, if you put up a prank video, and it shows people getting hurt, then it'll get removed from most platforms.
01:22:40.000So now these, you'll see prank people putting disclaimers in, saying like, these are all performers, it's all fake.
01:22:45.000Which really ruins what the video is supposed to be.
01:22:57.000And they know there's a certain boundary they can push upon to where they'll still be considered credible because sometimes, you know, we make mistakes.
01:23:13.000They'll sell a certain amount of views, so without calling out anyone individually, they'll like tell a company, we'll guarantee you 500,000 views for X amount of dollars.
01:23:22.000And it takes as long as they need to get those views.
01:23:25.000So, it might be a day with one article getting half a million views.
01:23:29.000It might be a month because you're only getting a few thousand per article, but they guarantee you the views over however long, whatever period of time.
01:23:36.000Near the end of the month, they might be saying, we won't be able to renew this contract because we haven't completed the view delivery.
01:24:10.000The business people are like, look, I'm just trying to sell eyeballs, man.
01:24:13.000So write the story, say Clinton's running, we'll apologize tomorrow, we'll get a million hits.
01:24:20.000Obviously no one's ever written that she is running, but you can see it in some of the stories they do.
01:24:24.000I did make a joke that once Biden said that, actually before Biden announced that he was gonna pick a girl as his running mate, I always said like, man, he's gonna pick Hillary and croak.
01:27:38.000And I think what I'm going to do is play the game myself, because I've been looking forward to this game for a very long time, and I want to just soak it up.
01:27:47.000So I'm going to do one playthrough, just myself, just playing it, and then I'm going to actually do a livestream of the game again.
01:27:55.000And, uh, I don't see myself dyeing my hair white, but man would I love to cosplay Setheroth.
01:28:04.000Jessica says the overflowing hospitals you see on the news are cherry-picked.
01:28:07.000We have thousands of cases in upstate New York, and the hospitals are not even close to capacity.
01:28:12.000Actual nurses here say it's fake news.
01:28:15.000They're definitely... well, it's hard to... I don't know if I would say cherry-picked, but they're highlighting for sure the hospitals that are being overrun.
01:28:22.000Yeah, there's a tendency to the dramatic, definitely.
01:31:17.000We're running out of things to talk about, so they're putting this stuff back in.
01:31:21.000And I am very happy to say that while we still are talking about the pandemic, as you mentioned, we're on the downswing, so we get to pretend to be angry at them pretending to be angry about macho stereotypes.
01:31:51.000Although some countries, including the UK, are not publishing data on this.
01:31:54.000Experts aren't sure exactly why this might be.
01:31:57.000It may in part be due to differences in biology.
01:32:01.000Suggestions have been made, for example, that it might be because men and women have a different immune response, and that men's immune systems may not activate in the same way as women's to fight the virus.
01:32:10.000But lifestyle and behavior are also likely to play a role.
01:32:13.000For a start, Men are more likely to have underlying health problems relevant to COVID-19 such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and some chronic lung diseases.
01:32:22.000This is in part because men are more likely to engage in risky behavior such as smoking, drinking, and drug-taking.
01:33:14.000However, the writer Carolyn Criado-Perez has also pointed out that because most medical research focuses on male bodies, there is a lack of understanding about why women may be better able to fend off this virus.
01:34:26.000So when they mentioned that men, or that cleanliness is associated with femininity, domesticity, and beautification, I'm like, what's their source?
01:34:57.000The COVID-19 pandemic has also highlighted the different roles men and women are still expected to play in society.
01:35:03.000Men are not only less likely to take care of themselves, but also less likely to be involved in caring for others.
01:35:09.000It is striking how much women are depended on to deliver both low-paid and unpaid care work, whether for children, disabled people, older people, or those in ill health.
01:35:17.000Indeed, the pandemic is placing additional caring responsibilities on women.
01:35:21.000I'm curious about their assessment of this.
01:37:41.000Gender norms also expect men to be powerful and in control.
01:37:45.000So while many men may relish the opportunity to be more involved at home, some have used it to assert more dominance and control over their partners and children.
01:38:15.000Tripped and started rolling, and then smack face into the patriarchy.
01:38:19.000These patriarchal discourses can have serious implications for government policy, such as encouraging overly militaristic authoritarian approaches and prioritizing male-dominated sectors of the economy and society.
01:38:31.000For instance, women are more likely to be in temporary, informal, or precarious work, which falls outside the protection packages being established.
01:39:00.000But there's a reason why some things are paid more than others, like high risk or high necessity.
01:39:05.000So if you're not working in petroleum engineering, which is a very important role in sustaining the economy, as much as environmentalists might not like to hear it, then don't be surprised when the government doesn't say, we're going to make feminist dance class an essential function.
01:39:20.000We're going to subsidize all feminist interpretive dance lessons.
01:40:00.000More broadly, this crisis is a huge opportunity to reassess political priorities and gender relations.
01:40:06.000It offers the chance to overturn years of neglect by recognizing the essential contribution of care to society.
01:40:12.000This will not only help to encourage men to play their part, but it will go some way towards shifting harmful gender norms in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
01:40:46.000We go through it in depth in this video Right and and and there's a there's an age level and it changes vital value changes through the years So it's not always true.
01:40:56.000Yeah, but for the most part it is well, no, no, no, no, it's early on in Yeah, early on it.
01:41:45.000But young women are very high for obvious reasons.
01:41:46.000Child rearing and healthy birthing and things like this.
01:41:49.000Whether feminists want to admit it, that's what the evolutionary psychologists have pointed out.
01:41:53.000And, over time, as young men become more experienced, more capable, more skilled, more wealthy, they start becoming more and more valuable.
01:42:01.000And considering that a man can have kids well into, like, his 70s... However late he wants.
01:43:23.000I was reading this article about it, where they showed images of women and asked men to rate who do you think is the most attractive out of all these women.
01:43:41.000And this is what people don't realize.
01:43:43.000I don't get that because I mean looking at if you were to look at like 10 to 100 and the years there's a point where you know like 24 you kind of look more adult-ish.
01:43:58.000And under that, it's not even attractive anymore to me.
01:46:15.000So I'm wondering if the reason you were on sets with women who were older is because you had a certain look and they wanted that to match versus putting a woman in a bra and panties and taking pictures of her.
01:46:26.000You know where the young, that I saw the young models, what they were doing?
01:47:28.000I'm wondering if it's like you, with a certain look, they were like, we're going to have women who fit your style, and maybe that was your experience.
01:49:26.000You know, it's like, I mean, I guess, I guess it depends on what you're doing because women could switch to lifestyle or something or catalog.
01:52:28.000To me, that seems like your favorite one.
01:52:30.000Yeah, because the first recent context I used it in was the moderate Democrats being voted in promising to get rid of the Orange Man bad narrative, the impeachment scams.
01:52:41.000And then as soon as they were given the ring, the moderate districts were like, Cast it into the fire!
01:54:12.000And it's not, you know, some women are complaining that they're not valued for their time, effort, talent, intelligence, and things like that.
01:54:48.000It's not to say that they're not out there.
01:54:50.000So if you have a million people and 1% of the males are geniuses and 0.2% of the females are geniuses, but there's only 500 available jobs, it'll most likely be filled by men.
01:55:04.000It's not an issue of bigotry or discrimination, it's that there's more male geniuses.
01:55:08.000There's also more male morons than female morons.
01:55:10.000Men are more likely to be stupid than women.
01:55:50.000Mark G. says, Tim, you can go to sleep and leave us with Soy just reading Super Chats and talking about what he's excited about for Final Fantasy VII.
01:55:56.000Maybe just leave it running and he can come down and play Final Fantasy VII.
01:55:59.000I could talk about Final Fantasy VII for a while.
01:56:01.000I don't know if you guys, you guys maybe want to hear it.
01:57:30.000Or like someone wanted to do like a tether to like a satellite something and the research showed that eventually it would it would affect the rotation of Earth So, if we were to hook the moon up, it would just like halt us and we would stop spinning.
01:57:45.000I wasn't gonna say just stop, I was gonna say crank it in.
01:57:47.000You know, once you get the cable in, you can start... Oh, bring it closer?
01:57:49.000Yeah, spinning the crank and then, why mine the moon?
01:58:26.000President Donald Trump, who began his foray into galactic affairs when he championed the Space Force to fight extraterrestrial wars, The extraterrestrial?
01:58:59.000My nerddom is furious at their improper articulation.
01:59:05.000In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, the White House announced Monday an executive order in which Trump calls for US business interests to mine the moon.
01:59:25.000Though the order specifies that a return to the moon would allow the country to explore and exploit lunar minerals, it insinuates that the scope of this new era of commercialization would apply to the moon, Mars, and other celestial bodies.
01:59:39.000Lunar development would include a search for minerals as well as water, and this would require partnerships between the US government and private industry.
01:59:47.000According to the order, one of the major roadblocks holding businesses back from mining the moon is uncertainty regarding the right to recover and use space resources, including the extension of the right to commercial recovery and use of lunar resources.
02:00:00.000Trump's executive order attempts to advance the scarce legal framework that governs various nations' claims to space.
02:00:06.000Several international resolutions, such as the Moon Agreement, have been adopted over the past 50 years, but the administration, in its order, did not acknowledge the legitimacy of these.
02:00:15.000Yeah, in 1979 there was an international treaty saying they wouldn't mine planets, and America never signed that treaty.
02:00:32.000We have to figure out a way to make it self-sustaining, and if there is water somewhere, we have to get it.
02:00:39.000You know, I told you about that show Mars.
02:00:42.000It's really interesting how it parallels real life because it is half documentary so it talks about a lot of this stuff and it goes over the whole science is going to discover stuff but then private enterprise also goes and they're mining and they don't care about the treaties.
02:00:58.000They're not in the treaties and it's like This treaty that they were talking about is the countries that are in the treaty.
02:01:06.000But SpaceX can go, if they go out and land on Mars, and they can start mining.
02:03:00.000And it's like, No one really thinks about astronauts.
02:03:04.000Like, three astronauts flew off Earth this morning at 4 a.m.
02:03:07.000I don't know if you guys knew this, but they flew off in the Soyuz and connected with the International Space Station, and that's so cool.
02:03:15.000Like, I really... I don't know if you noticed, I'm really into space stuff.
02:03:18.000It's great, but we don't champion them the way we used to, and I feel like it might be coming around because, you know, there's a new sense that we're gonna go out there.
02:03:35.000And there's that scene where he goes to the school and the teacher says, we built useless machines to pretend like we were going to go places we never went.
02:03:43.000We never went to the moon, blah, blah, blah.
02:03:45.000Like, that mentality is actually becoming prominent.
02:03:48.000When Elon Musk launched the car into space, a lot of people cheered.
02:03:52.000And then a bunch of activists condemned it, saying he wasted all this money.
02:03:56.000Why is he spending billions of dollars to go to space?
02:03:59.000And then people had to correct them and say, you realize he didn't spend the money on the moon.
02:04:04.000He spent it on people working on the earth to build things.
02:04:08.000And then other people were like, you realize the purpose of sending the car into space was to make something exciting and fun that would inspire people.
02:04:15.000So they would see this car in space, which is silly.
02:04:18.000But then it would create a moment that people would look at and be like, wow, that was when he launched the Tesla with the guy in it.
02:04:23.000Well, it was also a test payload, you know, exactly.
02:04:27.000They had to put something in there and they're not going to put a human in there.
02:04:31.000And that's actually part of the reason why we stopped doing space races because the Challenger mission, when we lost all those astronauts, it was devastating for the public.
02:05:18.000There's a video of just, like, attached to the side of the rocket, the rocket coming back from space and landing on the platform on the water.
02:05:43.000So let me ask you, if Elon Musk came a-knockin' and said, Adam, I want you to come in the rocket and be the first person on Mars... I wouldn't do it.
02:06:31.000People will lose their minds if they're isolated this way.
02:06:34.000And in close quarters, coupling actually works a lot better.
02:06:37.000So, and they'll end up having kids and they'll establish themselves there with their family and be less reliant on social interaction from strangers or anything like that.
02:07:14.000This whole thing that Trump just did is because we need to be able to mine the moon when we set up the base there, which is what the Artemis program is.
02:11:49.000Oh two or something the ability to Take iron into the hemoglobin or something like that. No. I
02:11:55.000don't know what that is But something similar about that, but it's about the it's
02:12:00.000about the blood not the lungs itself Oh, but I mean people are so I need to do my research. I
02:12:05.000don't know I don't know enough about it.
02:12:08.000Blinky Bill says, if we start mining the moon, are we going to worry about changing the mass of an orbiting object that has physical effects on the Earth?
02:12:15.000That's a really, really good question.
02:12:19.000And making the Earth bigger when we bring it back?
02:15:15.000We do the show every Monday through Friday at 8 p.m.
02:15:17.000live, and we post the full raw stream in the comments, in the community section of this channel, but we put up clips every day.
