00:00:00.700 Broadway's smash hit, The Neil Diamond Musical, A Beautiful Noise, is coming to Toronto.
00:00:06.520 The true story of a kid from Brooklyn destined for something more, featuring all the songs you love,
00:00:11.780 including America, Forever in Blue Jeans, and Sweet Caroline.
00:00:15.780 Like Jersey Boys and Beautiful, the next musical mega hit is here, The Neil Diamond Musical, A Beautiful Noise.
00:00:22.600 Now through June 7th, 2026 at the Princess of Wales Theatre.
00:00:26.800 Get tickets at murbish.com.
00:00:30.000 A lot of the radical left, actually, if you look at their behaviours and what they say they believe in,
00:00:36.220 that is absolutely unprocessed trauma.
00:00:38.540 A lot of that is borderline personality disorder.
00:00:41.360 You can get stuck in anger, you can get stuck in resentment and stuck in pain,
00:00:45.380 and you become aggressive, but you don't mean to.
00:00:48.820 I've lived it. I've lived it.
00:00:50.040 I know what being a fringe, lunatic, radical leftist is.
00:00:52.640 I've literally been that.
00:00:54.120 Somebody who's traumatised, somebody who's experienced sexual and physical abuse as a kid,
00:00:58.460 who's angry with someone out there who's more powerful than I am.
00:01:03.680 And then you become the conspiracy theorist.
00:01:05.980 It's the structure.
00:01:06.920 It's the patriarchy.
00:01:07.960 I used to write essays railing against Western mechanistic scientific perspectives.
00:01:16.520 And I really hated it because I thought that's what had hurt me.
00:01:22.600 I thought that's what had caused me pain and was causing pain all around the world.
00:01:26.880 There's this weird conspiracy out there.
00:01:28.940 I'm victimised, and it's like, wait, who's doing this to you?
00:01:34.820 Obviously, sometimes that does happen,
00:01:36.480 but it's an obsessive insistence on victimisation through a grand-scale conspiracy,
00:01:41.500 which couldn't possibly exist at the scale that they say it does.
00:01:45.240 But it absolves you of responsibility, and that's the point.
00:01:49.480 Hello, and welcome to Trigonometry.
00:02:02.520 I'm Francis Foster.
00:02:03.820 I'm Constantin Kishan.
00:02:04.920 And this is a show for you if you want honest conversations with fascinating people.
00:02:10.700 A brilliant and returning guest today is one of our absolute favourites.
00:02:15.340 He is a man who's done many, many things,
00:02:17.540 and he's got a book out which is called A Cult of One,
00:02:20.000 How to Deprogram Yourself from Narcissistic Abuse,
00:02:22.760 which is an era of speciality.
00:02:24.380 Richard Grannon, welcome back to Trigonometry.
00:02:26.300 Thanks very much for having me back, chaps.
00:02:28.700 You look like you've frozen into the chair.
00:02:31.060 Yes.
00:02:31.760 We'll talk about the book, and we'll talk about all this great stuff, mate,
00:02:34.460 but we haven't seen you for a while.
00:02:35.680 How's life? How have you been?
00:02:37.180 Good, busy, just busy with work
00:02:39.200 and trying to sort things out and move forward.
00:02:44.160 I'm having a few problems with YouTube at the moment.
00:02:47.540 It's starting to look suspiciously like being shadow banned,
00:02:51.520 so I'm going to sort that out.
00:02:53.620 Wow.
00:02:54.800 Tell us.
00:02:55.880 You could make a lot of money if you can do that.
00:02:58.900 Well, yeah.
00:02:59.760 There's a lot of people who have the same suspicion, I think.
00:03:02.120 I had a guy who works for me in conversation with him yesterday,
00:03:06.440 and they said,
00:03:07.040 oh, we've reviewed it,
00:03:07.960 and there's absolutely nothing wrong with your channel,
00:03:10.740 even despite the evidence we gave them.
00:03:13.100 I just have to move to a new channel.
00:03:15.000 So totally, yeah, we're going to have to start a new channel,
00:03:17.700 and I won't put my name in the videos,
00:03:20.060 so I'll go to my email list and push people through from the list to the videos
00:03:23.240 because it's a poison chalice now,
00:03:25.620 and that's it.
00:03:27.720 It's interesting because our numbers have been weird on YouTube as well
00:03:30.480 because when we do a good interview with a big-name guest,
00:03:33.820 it will do well,
00:03:34.560 not as well as it used to necessarily,
00:03:36.220 but it will do well.
00:03:37.200 But if someone is less known or maybe the interview is less spicy,
00:03:40.940 the numbers are much lower than they were,
00:03:42.780 even though the channel is bigger.
00:03:44.300 And on the podcast, on the audio side of things,
00:03:46.680 the numbers are going up every month.
00:03:49.120 But on YouTube, it's not happening.
00:03:49.960 You're never recommended to me.
00:03:51.460 I'm a subscriber of yours.
00:03:52.660 I have to actively go and look for you.
00:03:56.160 There's different people.
00:03:57.300 Douglas Murray.
00:03:58.300 I watch Douglas Murray videos all the time,
00:04:00.680 and YouTube never goes,
00:04:01.760 oh, this guy watches, let's give him some Douglas Murray today.
00:04:04.640 Never, ever happens.
00:04:06.140 You guys never come up with my recommended.
00:04:07.800 I have to go and find you.
00:04:09.400 So these are indications that shadow band or throttled
00:04:12.880 or whatever people want to call it,
00:04:14.180 like there is a bit of jiggery.
00:04:15.460 What did Twitter call it?
00:04:17.120 Visibility filtering?
00:04:18.180 Right.
00:04:18.720 You have been filtered.
00:04:21.780 You've been filtered, mate.
00:04:22.820 So there is a bit of,
00:04:24.620 there's that sort of aspect of things going on.
00:04:27.760 And I'm thinking, okay,
00:04:28.580 what's the appropriate way to deal with that?
00:04:31.200 What's the appropriate action for that?
00:04:32.680 And, you know, it's got to match the branding
00:04:35.100 and the effort with the project that I'm trying to make
00:04:37.820 and all the rest of it.
00:04:38.940 So, yeah, that's going to be the big one for next year.
00:04:41.620 Wow, man.
00:04:42.360 So the book, why did you write it, Richard?
00:04:45.300 I wanted to get down on paper my experiences that led me to doing the channel
00:04:53.560 as I've been doing up until now.
00:04:55.040 And I wanted to also sort of convey the philosophy behind what I teach and have it all in one place.
00:05:03.300 Have it, you know, fairly easy to read, fairly easy to understand.
00:05:06.740 And so I could just say to people, okay, if you've got a question for me,
00:05:10.100 you can find it there in the book.
00:05:11.640 So I submitted an 80,000-word academic-style document to the publisher,
00:05:19.000 these gentle Americans, and they sort of said to me,
00:05:22.520 oh, this is really fascinating.
00:05:24.060 We think it's a little dense.
00:05:25.780 And I'm like, it's boring, isn't it?
00:05:27.560 They're like, no, no, it's not boring.
00:05:29.460 It just needs...
00:05:29.900 So they then had to re-educate me on how to write a book.
00:05:34.080 So they wanted me to do half...
00:05:36.500 Every chapter needs to be half an expose of my own life,
00:05:39.340 anecdotes from my own life.
00:05:40.340 And then you earn the right to teach people something.
00:05:43.860 And I was like, do you know I went to a British boarding school?
00:05:46.200 I couldn't possibly share my private life.
00:05:48.300 So I had to go through this process of opening up
00:05:50.900 and telling stories from my own life in the book,
00:05:54.120 which was, in the end, it was fun once I learned how to do it.
00:05:57.220 And what was that process like?
00:05:59.420 And did you learn something about yourself whilst you were doing it?
00:06:02.360 Oh, God, yeah, I learned...
00:06:05.360 It became a therapeutic process.
00:06:08.360 It was...
00:06:10.340 It took...
00:06:11.540 At points, it was like pulling teeth.
00:06:13.900 It was really hard.
00:06:15.220 It was really, really hard.
00:06:16.620 And the editors kept asking me for more.
00:06:20.160 They were like, we need more from you.
00:06:21.480 We need you to reveal more about yourself.
00:06:23.240 And I was like, oh, God, I'm really resistant to this.
00:06:25.940 There's parts of me that I do not want in the public space, which...
00:06:30.280 Like what?
00:06:30.640 Yeah, tell us now what you didn't want to say.
00:06:35.240 So that was...
00:06:36.760 Because if you look like on the other side of the coin,
00:06:41.360 it made me think, oh, wow, I'm really not in alignment
00:06:44.080 with the way our culture is going.
00:06:45.480 Because people are rushing to share their private life.
00:06:49.000 They can't wait to let you know what they had for breakfast
00:06:52.060 or who they're sleeping with or what colour socks they've got on.
00:06:55.040 They'd love to be seen.
00:06:56.600 I hate it.
00:06:58.100 I absolutely just...
00:07:00.520 It mortifies me.
00:07:02.520 I find it like a really mortifying process.
00:07:04.580 So yeah, it was tough.
00:07:05.260 But that's quite interesting because you are a public person.
00:07:07.860 You know, you're a performer.
00:07:08.940 You're someone who likes to be in front of camera.
00:07:10.900 You're somebody who likes attention.
00:07:13.120 So that's quite strange, isn't it?
00:07:15.340 Because normally people who are like that
00:07:16.820 want to reveal all parts of themselves, don't they?
00:07:19.760 It very much was a deliberate persona that was created.
00:07:23.740 So I've kept my protection.
00:07:26.720 My psychological self-protection was always to have a public persona
00:07:29.860 and then my private life kept very, very separate.
00:07:33.100 And it's made...
00:07:34.780 I think it's made my life easier.
00:07:37.480 So you see people, like, they get their Twitter accounts banned
00:07:40.680 or cancelled or whatever, and they become very, very emotional.
00:07:44.200 They're extremely emotionally attached to their social media.
00:07:46.900 And I'd always look at that and think,
00:07:48.060 oh, I couldn't possibly... I couldn't feel that way.
00:07:50.560 And now I'm realising it's because they've put themselves in there
00:07:54.680 and it's parts of themselves that are getting thrown away.
00:07:57.340 For me, it was strictly business.
00:08:00.660 Well, let's talk about the book because I think, you know,
00:08:04.120 we've spoken with you in the past and there's so much more to, you know,
00:08:09.140 often we go for dinner and talk and there's so much more that you talk about
00:08:13.320 than narcissism, which is what people will be familiar with you.
00:08:16.480 But we'll start with the narcissism.
00:08:18.500 And I suppose in order to recover from narcissistic abuse,
00:08:24.040 you first need to know that you've experienced it.
00:08:26.680 Yes, you need to have a model of reality that says
00:08:30.760 there is a personality disorder called narcissism and this is what they do.
00:08:35.860 Not just to me, but it's happened to other people multiple times
00:08:39.140 and it's going on right now.
00:08:40.480 So how do you know that you've been in a narcissistically abusive relationship?
00:08:44.420 When you find yourself at three o'clock in the morning on YouTube going,
00:08:48.840 why is my girlfriend such a horrible bitch?
00:08:52.040 I'm looking at videos where my face comes up and other people's faces in the field come up.
00:08:56.240 And there's usually a sense of confusion about what's going on in the relationship.
00:09:00.040 And then people will literally, they will put in like, why is my husband so cruel?
00:09:04.700 Why is my wife, is my wife a sadist?
00:09:07.760 Or these are the questions that come up in the Google search terms.
00:09:10.300 And then they filter through to this area of YouTube, which is just a ton of,
00:09:16.380 there's like so many hours of videos now of people talking about narcissistic abuse.
00:09:21.460 There needs to be a sense that something is wrong.
00:09:24.820 And it's not just, you know, oh, she has anger management issues
00:09:29.140 or, oh, he's going through a difficult phase of his life.
00:09:31.560 There's a consistent pattern of bewildering behavior here.
00:09:34.960 You're stuck in these dead-end conversations that leave you feeling,
00:09:39.060 it's called cognitive dissonance.
00:09:41.380 It's a stressful feeling because you're being asked to believe several different things
00:09:45.080 that contradict each other at the same time.
00:09:46.900 And it creates a feeling of stress somatically in the body.
00:09:49.620 So then people are adrenalized, they can't sleep, they get physical symptoms
00:09:52.920 and they start obsessively hunting for answers.
00:09:55.580 So that obsessive hunt for answers is the first indicator
00:09:59.980 that somebody is probably in an emotionally abusive relationship at least.
00:10:04.140 And what do we mean by emotionally abusive?
00:10:05.920 Because the problem is, Richard, is that like a lot of words now,
00:10:10.520 at one point they meant one thing and now they mean, you know,
00:10:16.480 something completely different.
00:10:17.560 Well, a woman was asked where she's really from and that was called the trauma
00:10:20.900 and sustained abuse and whatever.
00:10:24.680 Did you follow this?
00:10:26.300 Yes.
00:10:27.340 A woman was asked by him.
00:10:28.180 Ngozi Falani.
00:10:29.320 And she was dressed in full African regalia.
00:10:31.560 And an old white lady said to her, oh, and where are you from?
00:10:35.260 Because you're clearly representing a country.
00:10:37.400 And that was seen as the most aggressive form of attack.
00:10:39.780 Well, she said it was traumatic.
00:10:41.600 So this is, I guess, Francis' point is like, you know,
00:10:44.020 you might have just had an argument with your partner.
00:10:46.860 Yeah.
00:10:47.380 That's not the same as being narcissistically abused.
00:10:50.260 No.
00:10:50.500 So you're pointing to an effect that was identified by a scholar
00:10:54.620 from Brent or Ghent University, Ghent University, called Jan DeVos.
00:10:59.600 It's called psychologization.
00:11:01.400 And he pointed out the first paper in 2012.
00:11:04.540 It's the effect by which psychology itself has seeped out into the culture
00:11:08.560 and everything is becoming pathologized.
00:11:10.860 So there's pathologization, where we think everything is a medical issue.
00:11:14.360 And then beyond that is psychologization.
00:11:16.220 But things that are not psychological issues are being rendered psychological issues.
00:11:20.320 So, yes, emotional abuse had one meaning.
00:11:24.420 You were with a partner who was abusive, but they didn't hit you.
00:11:27.240 They used coercive control.
00:11:29.200 And now if I say I don't like the color of your socks,
00:11:32.200 that could be considered emotional abuse.
00:11:33.740 It depends on where the dial on sensitivity is scaled up to.
00:11:39.200 That's a part of the conversation that we can't have in a psychologized society
00:11:44.280 because psychology won't go there.
00:11:47.700 Psychology is in its, you know, effectively a very left-leaning field.
00:11:53.940 And you can't question the victim because that would be called,
00:11:58.860 we have a term for that as well, victim blaming.
00:12:01.600 And that is a sin.
00:12:02.500 That's a sin against the orthodoxy that we live under now.
00:12:04.780 The Neil Diamond Musical, A Beautiful Noise, is coming to Toronto.
00:12:11.380 The true story of a kid from Brooklyn destined for something more,
00:12:14.880 featuring all the songs you love, including America,
00:12:17.920 Forever in Blue Jeans, and Sweet Caroline.
00:12:20.640 Like Jersey Boys and Beautiful, the next musical mega hit is here.
00:12:24.700 The Neil Diamond Musical, A Beautiful Noise.
00:12:27.380 April 28th through June 7th, 2026.
00:12:30.540 The Princess of Wales Theatre.
00:12:31.980 So you can't, you basically can't say something is traumatic
00:12:38.960 and something is abusive, but some things aren't.
00:12:41.660 Because as long as someone claims that those things are traumatic and abusive,
00:12:45.480 you would be denying their pain and blaming them.
00:12:49.040 I think the language they use is you're denying their lived experience.
00:12:51.760 Yes.
00:12:52.060 And so that actually wasn't the normal stance of psychology for a long time.
00:12:59.800 If you go back, men and women, male and female psychologists for years,
00:13:04.300 would push back against that because they would say,
00:13:06.880 well, you're not mentally well.
00:13:08.880 You need objective feedback to know where you're up to.
00:13:11.940 Somewhere, you know, radical, maybe radical feminism promoted it.
00:13:17.020 Maybe radical feminists got into more of the faculties,
00:13:20.080 more of the social sciences.
00:13:21.600 Post-modernism crept in.
00:13:23.080 Marxism crept in.
00:13:24.800 And yes, it became a case of saying,
00:13:26.620 no, the subjective experience is all important,
00:13:28.920 but only the subjective experience of certain select individuals.
00:13:32.120 And we're not going to tell you who.
00:13:33.800 You're going to find out when you're being punished.
00:13:35.720 So it's a maddening, it's this maddening situation.
00:13:41.320 I still love psychology, but it is a mess.
00:13:43.620 It is an absolute mess.
00:13:44.800 But the thing that's bizarre about that is,
00:13:47.480 in many ways, when you do that, you're not helping people.
00:13:50.540 No, no, so you're making them sicker.
00:13:52.280 I mean, it's provable.
00:13:53.400 It's, what's his name?
00:13:55.860 Jonathan Haidt wrote about it in The Coddling of the American Mind.
00:13:59.340 He used Jan DeVos' psychologization
00:14:02.160 and connected it to a concept created by two Australian psychologists
00:14:05.800 called looping.
00:14:06.920 So if you say to somebody,
00:14:09.440 you're the victim here and you're sick,
00:14:11.300 by a process of looping,
00:14:12.740 they'll identify with that version of themselves
00:14:14.860 and they'll create more victimization for themselves
00:14:17.220 and they'll see themselves as vulnerable.
00:14:19.640 Jonathan Haidt's point there was like,
00:14:22.080 look at the generation of kids now.
00:14:23.800 They see themselves as completely vulnerable
00:14:25.640 because of this psychologization.
00:14:28.420 And it's not,
00:14:29.340 I don't think psychology intrinsically should lead
00:14:31.600 this, lean this way.
00:14:33.140 You can have a version of psychology
00:14:35.720 that is much more philosophically robust
00:14:38.200 than you teach people.
00:14:39.060 No, the psychologist expects you to be strong.
00:14:42.040 Your counselor expects you to be strong.
00:14:44.300 We don't just,
00:14:45.880 I call it tea and biscuits.
00:14:47.580 Like tea and biscuits psychology
00:14:49.500 is crap psychology.
00:14:51.860 Ah, poor you.
00:14:53.220 Would you like a biscuit?
00:14:54.360 That's not going to help.
00:14:55.880 It's not because we have to get down to,
00:14:58.160 look, you're an adult.
00:14:59.280 Do you want to function in this reality?
00:15:01.180 This is what you need to do.
00:15:02.800 The responsibility must be spread.
00:15:04.920 It can't be offset
00:15:06.120 because that creates an externalized locus of control,
00:15:09.560 which is known to be highly associated
00:15:12.000 with anxiety and depression
00:15:13.080 because you feel like you're not in control of your life.
00:15:14.960 Right.
00:15:15.420 And this is why I feel the timing of your book is so great.
00:15:17.560 I haven't had a chance to read it yet,
00:15:18.820 but I will look forward to doing it over Christmas
00:15:21.100 because I think the timing is right.
00:15:23.600 And you know how sometimes people come along
00:15:26.100 and they definitely have a really good set of things
00:15:30.460 to share with the world,
00:15:31.480 but the timing is not right and it doesn't work out.
00:15:33.720 Whereas whenever I think about something
00:15:34.980 like Jordan Peterson, for example,
00:15:36.240 I think there's a reason that he exploded
00:15:37.800 in the way that he did.
00:15:38.920 Yeah.
00:15:39.160 Because the message was necessary.
00:15:40.980 And I feel the way you approach this issue,
00:15:44.700 it's kind of how I've always thought about life as well.
00:15:46.940 It's like you could spend your life being a victim.
00:15:49.560 And if I listed all the things that I've,
00:15:51.380 I've been homeless, my family's been destined,
00:15:54.220 like I can go on for ages,
00:15:55.600 but it's not going to improve my life, right?
00:15:58.380 No.
00:15:58.700 And I think that's kind of the message
00:16:00.200 that you're bringing as well,
00:16:01.440 which is here's a set of steps
00:16:03.300 to actually overcome things that you've been through, right?
00:16:06.280 A hundred percent.
00:16:07.280 And I was thinking of Jordan Peterson.
00:16:09.820 He had this mildly amusing joke
00:16:11.700 when he addressed the Oxford Union
00:16:13.220 and he said there's very, very few
00:16:15.700 right-leaning psychologists in the world.
00:16:17.960 In fact, the only one of them is here in the room with you now,
00:16:20.360 which is not least because he's actually on the left,
00:16:25.060 but we've had this conversation before.
00:16:26.880 Like, as far as today's left is concerned,
00:16:30.160 he's literally Hitler.
00:16:33.260 So, but he is,
00:16:35.680 it was that flavor of that type of psychology.
00:16:38.140 It's still psychology,
00:16:39.380 but it still has its roots in Nietzsche and Dostoevsky,
00:16:42.500 which was, you know, yeah,
00:16:44.560 you're on your own in this world
00:16:46.360 and you have to strive and you have to fight,
00:16:48.900 which is a more of a,
00:16:50.880 if you take a yin-yang perspective,
00:16:52.860 that's more of a yang approach.
00:16:54.700 That's more of a masculine principled approach.
00:16:59.080 The feminine principled approach would be,
00:17:01.380 no, you need top-down assistance
00:17:03.040 from a community to help you.
00:17:05.000 You need both, like balance and everything,
00:17:07.640 but we've gone too far this way.
00:17:09.520 So everything becomes an appeal to authority.
00:17:12.700 If you're in pain and you have a boo-boo,
00:17:14.780 then you have to call for authority.
00:17:16.140 It leads to authoritarianism.
00:17:17.340 That's why you throw soup at paintings
00:17:20.240 to save the climate.
00:17:21.940 Yes.
00:17:22.120 That's why you do all this stuff.
00:17:24.020 And actually, I did a debate at the Oxford Union,
00:17:26.420 which they haven't released yet,
00:17:27.520 but this is one of the things I talked about,
00:17:29.060 is like, if you think climate change
00:17:30.820 is a really big problem,
00:17:32.520 then complaining about it
00:17:35.320 is literally not going to do anything.
00:17:37.720 Particularly in Britain,
00:17:38.940 which produces 2% of global carbon emissions.
00:17:41.420 Even if you disappeared Britain from the map,
00:17:43.380 it still wouldn't change anything, right?
00:17:44.800 You've got to do something.
00:17:46.600 You've got to create technology.
00:17:47.740 You've got to have inventions.
00:17:48.860 You've got to pursue that.
00:17:50.740 And we've somehow, as you say,
00:17:52.380 ended up in a position where we just,
00:17:54.460 as a culture, we don't,
00:17:55.880 that's not the attitude.
00:17:56.980 The attitude is big daddy government
00:17:59.120 or this or that.
00:18:00.780 You know, the society has failed me.
00:18:03.140 Systemic this, structural that.
00:18:04.640 Yes, yes.
00:18:06.080 Systemic this, structural that.
00:18:07.720 Which comes from,
00:18:08.620 I said it's yin-principled,
00:18:10.340 which is feminine-principled.
00:18:11.360 It comes from feminism.
00:18:12.760 It's from feminism.
00:18:14.740 I can see why his YouTube channel
00:18:15.980 is not doing as well anymore.
00:18:18.780 It's the birds!
00:18:19.880 It's the birds that've done it.
00:18:21.560 You keep that up, Mr. Grannon,
00:18:23.160 and see where it gets you.
00:18:25.180 Wajiki's there just turning the dial.
00:18:27.560 He's whinging about birds again.
00:18:29.140 Turn them off.
00:18:29.580 So there is,
00:18:31.740 like, to me,
00:18:33.400 like, being,
00:18:34.440 I would say the left
00:18:35.280 is generally yin-principled.
00:18:36.900 It's kindness.
00:18:37.940 It's fairness.
00:18:39.160 The right tends to be yang-principled.
00:18:40.920 It's competitiveness,
00:18:41.880 and it requires more resilience.
00:18:44.640 It believes in it.
00:18:45.600 It prioritizes it.
00:18:46.760 I think we need balance
00:18:47.600 in all these things,
00:18:48.500 but when I say the cult,
00:18:50.740 or Jan de Vos said,
00:18:51.900 the culture is psychologized,
00:18:53.500 he wasn't saying
00:18:54.360 it's psychologized
00:18:55.320 with Nietzschean psychology
00:18:56.600 or Adlerian psychology.
00:18:57.980 He's saying it's psychologized
00:18:59.280 with this,
00:19:00.100 these are radical feminist,
00:19:02.120 Marxist, post-modernist ideas
00:19:04.140 that do point at structures.
00:19:06.960 And the interesting thing is
00:19:08.360 they kind of become
00:19:09.260 conspiracy theorists.
00:19:10.760 There's this weird conspiracy out,
00:19:13.040 I'm victimized,
00:19:14.240 and it's like,
00:19:14.780 by who?
00:19:16.060 Who's doing this to you?
00:19:18.940 Obviously,
00:19:19.460 sometimes that does happen,
00:19:20.580 but it's an obsessive insistence
00:19:22.420 on victimization.
00:19:23.700 Through a grand-scale conspiracy,
00:19:25.860 which couldn't possibly exist
00:19:27.540 at the scale that they say it does,
00:19:29.440 but it absolves you
00:19:31.280 of responsibility,
00:19:32.980 and that's the point.
00:19:34.260 So that's why
00:19:35.860 I think it's gone that way.
00:19:37.500 I was listening to Gabor Mate.
00:19:40.140 I'm really getting,
00:19:41.120 I don't know if you know Gabor.
00:19:42.700 I love Gabor Mate, yeah.
00:19:44.040 And he talks a lot about trauma,
00:19:46.320 and it just made me realize
00:19:47.640 that actually what you see
00:19:49.660 with a lot of people's
00:19:50.720 negative behavior,
00:19:51.820 in my opinion,
00:19:52.380 is just their unprocessed trauma
00:19:54.120 that they've never really
00:19:55.220 looked into,
00:19:56.120 or never wanted to deal with,
00:19:57.800 and then they just go around
00:19:59.220 just vomiting it,
00:20:00.420 essentially.
00:20:01.060 Yeah,
00:20:01.320 which is a lot of the radical left.
00:20:03.260 Actually,
00:20:04.320 if you look at their behaviors
00:20:05.460 and what they say
00:20:06.160 they believe in,
00:20:07.320 that is absolutely
00:20:08.160 unprocessed trauma.
00:20:09.680 A lot of that
00:20:10.300 is borderline personality disorder.
00:20:12.740 You're not supposed to say that.
00:20:14.480 Even Jordan Peterson
00:20:15.400 resisted saying it
00:20:16.580 for the first five years
00:20:18.480 that he shot to fame,
00:20:19.400 he wouldn't,
00:20:19.960 I had friends and clients of mine
00:20:22.360 go to his seminars
00:20:23.100 and ask him,
00:20:23.700 and he would refuse to answer it.
00:20:25.540 He's saying it now.
00:20:26.660 That's borderline personality disorder.
00:20:28.400 Well,
00:20:28.620 the interesting thing about that
00:20:29.680 is in terms of the point
00:20:30.640 you're making,
00:20:31.240 Francis,
00:20:31.540 is it's easy,
00:20:32.600 it's much easier to say
00:20:33.580 because the radical right
00:20:34.540 is exactly the same.
00:20:35.840 I have a,
00:20:37.360 I used to be friends
00:20:39.060 with some people,
00:20:41.140 anyway,
00:20:41.480 in the movie world
00:20:42.300 and there's a brilliant,
00:20:43.860 I think it's a Finnish movie
00:20:44.960 called Heart of a Lion
00:20:46.000 about neo-Nazis
00:20:47.460 and I met a couple...
00:20:49.760 It's a brilliant film
00:20:50.440 about neo-Nazis.
00:20:51.120 It's a brilliant film
00:20:51.800 about neo-Nazis.
00:20:52.840 I'm a big admirer
00:20:53.940 of many of the main characters.
00:20:54.520 Yeah, it's promotional, mate.
00:20:55.300 Yeah, exactly.
00:20:56.440 That's why we started the show.
00:20:58.320 That's where all the merch is from.
00:21:01.840 Go to our page.
00:21:03.560 The actors did a lot of research
00:21:05.340 to get ready
00:21:07.360 to play a neo-Nazi
00:21:08.420 and they said
00:21:08.860 that when they met
00:21:09.540 these people
00:21:10.020 who'd been reformed neo-Nazis
00:21:11.580 or just were neo-Nazis,
00:21:13.660 almost all of them
00:21:14.680 had a certain
00:21:15.740 childhood experience.
00:21:17.660 Yes.
00:21:18.440 Traumatic childhood experience
00:21:19.860 that shaped them
00:21:20.780 into seeing the world
00:21:22.200 in that way
00:21:22.700 and that makes perfect sense
00:21:24.680 that the people
00:21:25.960 who are out there
00:21:27.800 doing extreme shit,
00:21:29.180 they're probably doing it
00:21:30.280 for a reason.
00:21:31.400 You know what I mean?
00:21:31.960 100%.
00:21:32.640 The chances of
00:21:35.160 well,
00:21:35.700 anybody who has
00:21:36.340 extremist views
00:21:37.380 that can easily be
00:21:38.520 challenged inside
00:21:39.840 of a 20-minute
00:21:40.560 sober conversation
00:21:41.580 at not having some issues
00:21:43.560 related to their sanity
00:21:44.540 becomes very, very small.
00:21:45.820 So yeah,
00:21:46.140 radical anything.
00:21:47.440 So yeah,
00:21:47.720 radical right-wingers.
00:21:49.040 Again,
00:21:49.380 you'll see borderline
00:21:50.180 personality disorder
00:21:51.400 because they'll be,
00:21:53.560 they're extremely
00:21:54.040 emotionally dysregulated,
00:21:55.360 damages their perceptions.
00:21:56.940 Everything is still
00:21:57.760 an externalized
00:21:58.480 locus of control.
00:21:59.740 You mentioned the Nazis.
00:22:00.620 That was absolutely
00:22:01.340 a victimhood story.
00:22:02.860 It was all one,
00:22:05.380 one group
00:22:06.200 for everything.
00:22:07.800 And you think,
00:22:08.900 you know,
00:22:09.580 if you sat down,
00:22:10.960 you'd be like,
00:22:11.260 are you sure?
00:22:12.660 Like,
00:22:13.100 that's it.
00:22:14.040 That's your view
00:22:14.900 of reality.
00:22:16.260 You wouldn't even
00:22:17.100 spread the responsibility
00:22:18.340 out,
00:22:18.840 could you name like
00:22:19.420 five different groups
00:22:20.660 or not?
00:22:21.080 Nope,
00:22:21.360 just one.
00:22:21.720 Nine.
00:22:22.800 Like we say,
00:22:23.540 like we say in Russian,
00:22:24.780 if there's no water
00:22:25.720 in the tap,
00:22:26.280 the Jews drank it.
00:22:30.380 That's how people
00:22:31.160 think though.
00:22:31.700 Right.
00:22:32.100 You know,
00:22:32.640 those people anyway.
00:22:34.180 Those people.
00:22:35.420 It creates
00:22:36.440 an infantile view
00:22:38.080 of reality.
00:22:39.800 And I think a lot
00:22:40.480 of the problems
00:22:40.880 that we're seeing
00:22:41.440 nowadays is
00:22:42.300 we're not having
00:22:43.480 adult conversations
00:22:44.400 because people aren't
00:22:45.220 coming from an adult
00:22:46.000 point of view.
00:22:46.640 They're literally
00:22:47.140 not capable
00:22:47.960 of having the adult
00:22:49.120 conversation
00:22:49.760 because they're traumatized,
00:22:51.340 they're stuck
00:22:51.800 in an infantile
00:22:52.540 world view.
00:22:53.500 The emotional
00:22:53.960 dysregulation
00:22:54.740 turns your perceptions
00:22:55.960 upside down.
00:22:56.740 People don't realize
00:22:57.560 how sick
00:22:59.120 they've become.
00:23:00.820 And they crave
00:23:01.960 this ideology
00:23:02.740 because it
00:23:04.240 moderates
00:23:05.360 the emotions
00:23:06.020 externally.
00:23:07.320 So they follow,
00:23:08.540 I don't know,
00:23:09.000 maybe they become
00:23:09.600 neo-Nazis
00:23:10.280 or maybe they become
00:23:11.060 radical leftists
00:23:11.840 or whatever
00:23:13.360 because that makes
00:23:15.140 them feel
00:23:15.700 a little bit better.
00:23:16.620 It stops the screaming
00:23:17.480 in their head
00:23:18.060 for a few minutes.
00:23:18.980 Richard,
00:23:19.460 I'm going to put
00:23:20.000 a counterpoint to you.
00:23:21.060 Isn't it even more
00:23:22.120 different?
00:23:22.480 Aren't Nazis brilliant?
00:23:23.320 Aren't you?
00:23:24.320 Do you know what I mean?
00:23:25.080 Make some,
00:23:25.640 they're not all bad.
00:23:26.820 Someone is going to
00:23:27.480 clip that by the way.
00:23:28.780 But it's becoming
00:23:31.060 more and more difficult,
00:23:32.180 Richard,
00:23:32.420 to keep your sanity
00:23:33.380 when you look around
00:23:34.520 at the world
00:23:35.060 and what is reality
00:23:36.280 is rapidly,
00:23:38.540 let's be fair,
00:23:39.200 coming undone.
00:23:40.060 Like you just see
00:23:41.040 that the media
00:23:42.180 has been lying to us.
00:23:43.520 You saw what happened
00:23:44.460 with COVID.
00:23:45.440 You saw that we were
00:23:46.400 told one thing
00:23:47.260 about vaccines
00:23:48.060 and I'm keeping it
00:23:48.880 deliberately opaque
00:23:50.260 because we know
00:23:52.000 what will happen
00:23:52.560 with YouTube
00:23:53.060 and now the reality
00:23:54.760 is something else.
00:23:56.120 We've been consistently
00:23:57.560 lied to
00:23:58.340 for a long time.
00:24:00.560 So can you blame
00:24:02.400 people for
00:24:03.280 distrusting reality?
00:24:07.780 Blame.
00:24:08.720 That's interesting.
00:24:09.980 That's interesting.
00:24:11.280 Okay,
00:24:11.640 so to push back
00:24:12.520 on that,
00:24:12.920 I would say
00:24:13.400 that we all
00:24:14.320 as adults
00:24:15.240 have a responsibility
00:24:16.540 to,
00:24:17.820 well,
00:24:18.000 you said this point,
00:24:18.840 I'm going to feed
00:24:19.100 your point back to you.
00:24:19.900 We all have to process
00:24:20.980 our trauma.
00:24:22.060 It's rough right now.
00:24:24.020 I agree.
00:24:24.940 And the fact
00:24:25.460 that we're seeing
00:24:25.840 more and more people
00:24:26.660 emotionally dysregulated,
00:24:28.020 especially after lockdowns
00:24:29.180 and everything else,
00:24:30.240 surprises me not at all.
00:24:32.100 The thing that bothers me
00:24:33.920 at the moment
00:24:34.500 is it feels like
00:24:37.160 the effort
00:24:38.240 to coerce
00:24:39.220 people's opinions
00:24:40.060 and to move them
00:24:40.740 in a certain direction
00:24:41.540 is being increased
00:24:42.540 and that largely speaking
00:24:44.240 people are going along
00:24:45.020 with it,
00:24:45.380 which is,
00:24:45.940 it's very worrying.
00:24:47.220 I find I'm pretty worried
00:24:49.080 about where we're up to
00:24:49.800 at the moment.
00:24:51.120 When I last spoke to you,
00:24:52.260 I was much more like...
00:24:53.700 No,
00:24:53.900 you said we were heading
00:24:55.360 to gulags and genocide.
00:24:56.880 But then the last time
00:24:58.120 we spoke
00:24:58.480 in the interview
00:24:59.300 that's gone missing...
00:25:00.180 Yes.
00:25:00.420 Oh,
00:25:00.740 you interviewed us.
00:25:01.540 I interviewed you guys.
00:25:02.000 You were quite positive.
00:25:02.720 I was really positive.
00:25:03.900 We did a great interview,
00:25:04.980 man,
00:25:05.100 and I hope we can recur
00:25:06.060 because something went wrong
00:25:06.960 with the hard drives.
00:25:08.240 But you did a great interview
00:25:09.480 with us
00:25:09.800 and I can't wait
00:25:10.440 for people to see that
00:25:11.260 hopefully we can get that back,
00:25:12.440 man.
00:25:12.520 It was really good.
00:25:14.600 Sorry.
00:25:15.220 But that being the case,
00:25:17.480 what do you do
00:25:19.040 as an individual?
00:25:20.620 How do you operate
00:25:21.660 in a world
00:25:22.440 where you look around
00:25:24.100 and things...
00:25:26.980 You're being deliberately
00:25:27.940 misled.
00:25:29.240 You're being deliberately
00:25:30.480 misinformed.
00:25:33.140 I don't know.
00:25:34.040 I don't know what we need.
00:25:36.380 So sometimes I think,
00:25:37.880 you know,
00:25:38.640 I question myself
00:25:39.640 and I say,
00:25:41.180 are you...
00:25:42.260 This is Richard to Richard.
00:25:43.760 Are you flirting
00:25:44.700 with an idea
00:25:47.300 of a narrative
00:25:48.500 that you haven't...
00:25:49.480 That you don't dare
00:25:50.220 to fully realise
00:25:51.040 because it's going to be
00:25:51.620 extremely inconvenient?
00:25:52.980 Which at this point would be
00:25:54.360 I have to become
00:25:55.060 politically engaged.
00:25:56.540 And every fibre
00:25:57.400 of my being goes,
00:25:58.180 oh God,
00:25:58.400 not that.
00:26:00.220 Everyone who does that,
00:26:01.440 no disrespect,
00:26:03.560 but like everyone
00:26:04.000 who does that
00:26:04.360 kind of makes a fool
00:26:05.320 of themselves in the end
00:26:06.420 because it's loaded
00:26:07.580 with dogma.
00:26:08.580 You say,
00:26:08.880 well,
00:26:09.020 this is the policy
00:26:09.940 by which everybody
00:26:10.760 should live.
00:26:11.640 It's always going to...
00:26:12.780 You always end up looking...
00:26:13.980 You look stupid
00:26:14.760 on some issues
00:26:15.780 at some point.
00:26:16.840 And then another part
00:26:17.760 of me says,
00:26:18.120 well,
00:26:18.540 what else is there?
00:26:19.340 Because you have
00:26:19.940 to give people direction.
00:26:21.020 So if you're not going
00:26:21.540 to give them direction
00:26:22.180 politically,
00:26:23.320 what are you going to do?
00:26:24.420 Oh, we use psychology.
00:26:25.580 Psychology is infected.
00:26:27.160 And I've spread the infection.
00:26:28.780 I'm one of the people
00:26:29.340 who popularises
00:26:30.140 the idea of
00:26:31.240 microaggressions
00:26:32.080 and being traumatised
00:26:32.880 by words.
00:26:33.460 I'm one of those people.
00:26:35.900 So what?
00:26:36.860 Philosophy?
00:26:37.640 Religion?
00:26:38.120 Spirituality?
00:26:38.960 I don't know.
00:26:39.900 I wouldn't have the balls
00:26:41.540 to go out there
00:26:45.040 and start preaching
00:26:46.340 at a philosophical
00:26:47.140 or spiritual level.
00:26:48.440 So I don't know what to do.
00:26:50.320 I'm at a loss.
00:26:51.420 Well,
00:26:52.260 I think...
00:26:53.300 Look,
00:26:54.040 I keep saying this
00:26:55.420 in every fucking interview.
00:26:56.740 People are probably
00:26:57.220 going to get as fed up
00:26:58.100 of it as Francis saying
00:26:59.020 he used to be a teacher.
00:26:59.800 But,
00:27:00.520 you know,
00:27:02.820 becoming a father
00:27:03.820 this year
00:27:04.780 really gave me
00:27:06.020 part of the answer
00:27:06.820 to that.
00:27:07.360 Part of the answer
00:27:07.880 to what we're talking
00:27:08.700 about is family, man.
00:27:10.060 Yeah.
00:27:10.420 And human connection
00:27:11.380 and family connection.
00:27:13.460 Yes.
00:27:13.860 That answers
00:27:14.780 like 80 to 90%
00:27:16.900 of all this
00:27:17.780 existential shit
00:27:18.900 that people
00:27:19.460 struggle with
00:27:20.600 on a day-to-day basis.
00:27:21.660 It's that, man.
00:27:22.500 It's a lack of meaning.
00:27:23.860 It's a lack of purpose.
00:27:25.380 And if you don't have that,
00:27:28.140 it's very hard
00:27:29.040 to be grounded
00:27:29.720 and attached
00:27:30.380 to whatever is the...
00:27:32.080 You know,
00:27:32.580 having my son
00:27:33.980 has completely changed
00:27:35.000 my worldview.
00:27:35.620 And I went from
00:27:36.500 being one of these guys
00:27:37.700 who used to hate parents
00:27:38.740 banging on about their kids.
00:27:39.900 I'm now one of them.
00:27:40.860 Yeah.
00:27:41.040 You know,
00:27:41.760 I can't help it.
00:27:43.060 But that's because
00:27:43.880 it's added me...
00:27:45.620 I've always been someone
00:27:46.560 who wanted meaningful work
00:27:47.900 and trigonometry
00:27:48.540 is that for me
00:27:50.120 and always has been.
00:27:50.880 But having family,
00:27:53.080 having children,
00:27:54.740 because they need you
00:27:56.820 Yeah.
00:27:57.740 and they are vulnerable.
00:27:59.600 Yeah.
00:27:59.840 Right?
00:28:00.200 So I can't afford
00:28:02.200 to be needy
00:28:03.820 and vulnerable
00:28:04.320 because there's a small
00:28:05.300 little creature
00:28:05.880 that needs me right now.
00:28:06.900 My wife needs me right now.
00:28:08.020 She needs me to provide.
00:28:09.140 She needs me to be there
00:28:09.940 emotionally.
00:28:10.820 And it forces me
00:28:11.880 to get out of my own head.
00:28:13.360 Yes.
00:28:14.220 And get into the real world
00:28:15.760 where shit needs to be done.
00:28:17.420 And I think that's part
00:28:18.340 of the answer, man.
00:28:18.920 And I'm afraid,
00:28:20.000 you know,
00:28:20.220 people don't like being told this
00:28:21.520 and I used to hate
00:28:22.180 being told this.
00:28:22.860 But I think it's very,
00:28:24.160 very difficult to...
00:28:26.100 For most people,
00:28:26.820 there will be,
00:28:27.240 of course,
00:28:27.540 be exceptions.
00:28:28.420 But for most people,
00:28:29.240 I think without taking
00:28:30.700 that extra step,
00:28:31.600 it's very difficult
00:28:32.320 to be an adult.
00:28:33.440 Like,
00:28:33.620 I look back at me
00:28:35.400 even two years ago
00:28:36.900 and I think
00:28:37.340 I was a mature young person.
00:28:39.720 That's the best
00:28:42.400 that I would call it.
00:28:43.080 I think a big part
00:28:44.480 of the reason
00:28:45.440 we are where we are
00:28:46.340 is the plummeting birth rate,
00:28:48.380 the people delaying
00:28:49.220 having children.
00:28:50.480 You know,
00:28:50.680 what do you think
00:28:51.200 about that?
00:28:51.820 I think
00:28:53.580 it was predicted
00:28:55.420 by Alistair Crowley
00:28:56.560 of all people
00:28:57.400 back in 1901.
00:28:58.900 He wrote a book
00:28:59.400 about this
00:28:59.960 that said
00:29:00.360 we're going to move
00:29:01.040 into an age
00:29:01.660 of infantilism.
00:29:03.060 He called it
00:29:03.700 the Aeon of Horus.
00:29:06.500 And then Jung
00:29:07.460 picked that up,
00:29:08.300 never credited Crowley
00:29:09.280 and called it the...
00:29:10.620 Which was probably
00:29:12.320 the right thing to do.
00:29:13.640 He called it
00:29:14.500 the Puerh Eternus,
00:29:15.680 which means
00:29:15.980 the eternal child.
00:29:17.180 So we now live
00:29:17.860 in the age
00:29:18.180 of the eternal child.
00:29:19.020 And yes,
00:29:19.400 you're probably right.
00:29:21.500 As biological entities,
00:29:23.120 we don't fully enter
00:29:24.300 adulthood
00:29:24.860 unless we have
00:29:25.580 children of our own.
00:29:27.620 I don't know
00:29:28.520 if it's a solution
00:29:29.260 to say to people
00:29:30.280 have kids.
00:29:31.620 Yeah,
00:29:31.740 you're really fucked up.
00:29:32.720 Go and have some kids
00:29:33.440 to solve that.
00:29:34.180 Yeah,
00:29:34.400 I agree.
00:29:35.100 And there's also,
00:29:35.940 there's going to be,
00:29:39.020 because everything
00:29:39.860 is politicized
00:29:40.560 as well as psychologized now,
00:29:41.920 it sounds right wing.
00:29:43.360 What,
00:29:43.580 having kids?
00:29:44.180 Yeah.
00:29:45.200 Well,
00:29:45.400 isn't that fucked up though?
00:29:46.640 That's insane.
00:29:47.680 Isn't it?
00:29:48.040 It's completely insane.
00:29:49.200 But everything's right wing.
00:29:50.960 The Guardian
00:29:51.420 did an article
00:29:52.740 about why going
00:29:53.440 to the gym
00:29:53.960 is right wing.
00:29:54.920 Yeah.
00:29:55.200 Absolutely it is.
00:29:56.960 I'm not going
00:29:57.820 on the way.
00:29:57.900 It's a funny way of like,
00:29:59.360 the thing is,
00:30:00.080 what all this,
00:30:01.080 all that's doing
00:30:01.780 is it's,
00:30:03.160 if being healthy
00:30:05.240 physically.
00:30:05.940 Yes.
00:30:06.340 If being healthy
00:30:07.120 mentally.
00:30:07.760 Yes.
00:30:07.980 If having a family
00:30:08.880 and children.
00:30:09.780 If taking responsibility.
00:30:11.600 If not asking
00:30:12.320 for handouts
00:30:13.700 from the government.
00:30:14.720 If not asking
00:30:15.440 for the big
00:30:16.220 systemic oppression
00:30:17.460 to be overturned.
00:30:18.420 If all of that
00:30:19.260 is right wing,
00:30:20.140 they're sort of
00:30:20.540 pushing all the
00:30:21.180 healthy people
00:30:21.840 to the right.
00:30:23.080 Well,
00:30:23.600 there's another
00:30:26.020 Dutton,
00:30:27.660 Professor Dutton,
00:30:28.880 the jolly erratic
00:30:29.560 who reviews
00:30:30.800 the evolutionary
00:30:31.720 psychology research
00:30:32.800 and he says that,
00:30:34.060 I believe him,
00:30:35.040 there's evidence
00:30:35.520 to suggest that
00:30:36.460 on the whole
00:30:37.700 right wing people
00:30:38.360 are healthier
00:30:38.960 and better looking.
00:30:40.080 They have better
00:30:40.740 DNA,
00:30:41.800 better genetics.
00:30:42.740 Right,
00:30:42.880 we need to move
00:30:43.420 to the right.
00:30:44.060 Yeah,
00:30:44.260 exactly.
00:30:44.680 We need to stop
00:30:45.160 pretending to be
00:30:45.920 in the centre.
00:30:46.800 We've become
00:30:47.460 far right
00:30:48.040 in the course
00:30:49.160 of this conversation.
00:30:50.120 And you look
00:30:51.300 at that and you think,
00:30:52.140 oh God,
00:30:52.560 I hope that's not true
00:30:53.780 but I don't know
00:30:55.860 what the right means.
00:30:57.940 So what does it mean
00:30:58.840 nowadays
00:30:59.340 if you're on the right?
00:31:01.220 So are we saying
00:31:02.680 that one is
00:31:03.140 life affirming
00:31:04.160 and individualistic
00:31:05.960 where the other one
00:31:07.440 is kind of
00:31:08.120 life negating
00:31:09.340 and globalist?
00:31:11.080 Maybe.
00:31:11.880 Maybe that's the division.
00:31:13.020 Maybe that's what
00:31:13.460 we should be talking about.
00:31:14.580 On this side,
00:31:15.400 humans are bad.
00:31:16.540 We're a burden
00:31:16.980 on the earth.
00:31:17.580 We're a burden
00:31:17.880 on the environment.
00:31:18.540 We're overpopulated.
00:31:20.360 Masculinity is bad.
00:31:22.160 Femininity is bad.
00:31:23.800 Sexuality is bad.
00:31:24.820 All of that,
00:31:25.800 it's like a death cult.
00:31:27.060 And on the other side,
00:31:27.940 you have people
00:31:28.440 who are life affirming
00:31:29.400 and they want to have children
00:31:30.460 and they want to
00:31:31.300 move forward
00:31:32.760 and have a sense of pride
00:31:34.700 and a sense of dignity
00:31:35.640 in their own lives.
00:31:37.620 There's that,
00:31:38.840 we got right and left wing
00:31:40.280 from the French Revolution.
00:31:41.520 Are we still having
00:31:42.140 the same conversation?
00:31:43.340 I mean,
00:31:43.520 it seems like
00:31:44.380 we're probably not.
00:31:45.560 So we're using these terms.
00:31:47.780 I disagree with people
00:31:49.020 who say the terms
00:31:49.780 are now meaningless,
00:31:51.240 but we have to see
00:31:52.260 how far warped
00:31:53.440 the world has gone.
00:31:55.320 This isn't about,
00:31:56.520 so in the French Revolution,
00:31:57.680 it was either you,
00:31:58.340 you wanted to keep the royalty
00:31:59.680 and you wanted to keep the church
00:32:00.580 and you wanted to preserve things
00:32:01.440 the way they were,
00:32:02.380 or you wanted to turn
00:32:03.800 everything on its head.
00:32:04.560 So left wingers
00:32:05.140 are revolutionaries,
00:32:06.020 right wingers keep everything
00:32:06.920 the same way.
00:32:08.100 This is a little different
00:32:10.140 and I think
00:32:11.160 there's different agendas
00:32:12.480 that got tagged on
00:32:13.760 because they could be.
00:32:16.260 So people who were of the left
00:32:17.760 based on that point
00:32:19.040 in human history
00:32:20.400 were open to ideas
00:32:21.780 like globalization,
00:32:22.840 open to ideas like
00:32:24.060 population reduction
00:32:25.900 and environmentalism.
00:32:27.620 The notion that we are
00:32:29.040 an evil virus on the world
00:32:30.980 and the world would be better
00:32:32.300 if there were just less of us
00:32:33.540 or none of us here at all,
00:32:34.600 which seems to be
00:32:36.040 like the pinnacle
00:32:37.020 of modern left wing ideology.
00:32:39.160 The most righteous person
00:32:40.440 would be all humans are trash.
00:32:42.520 Just get rid of the whole lot of us.
00:32:44.260 That's my humble opinion.
00:32:46.060 That's if you follow the dictates,
00:32:48.500 that seems to be where it goes to.
00:32:50.100 So yes,
00:32:50.560 the life affirming people
00:32:51.680 probably will be healthier
00:32:53.360 and, you know,
00:32:54.680 have less genetic mutation,
00:32:56.180 be slightly more intelligent
00:32:57.180 and so on.
00:32:57.680 For me,
00:33:01.220 COVID threw all of this
00:33:02.400 into really sharp relief
00:33:03.900 because I saw two groups of people
00:33:07.140 when COVID happened.
00:33:09.620 There were the people
00:33:10.320 who were just like,
00:33:11.120 well, the government needs
00:33:12.580 to support me.
00:33:13.560 The government needs
00:33:14.260 to bail me out.
00:33:15.160 I need furlough,
00:33:16.180 blah, blah, blah.
00:33:17.480 Yeah.
00:33:18.060 And those people who were like,
00:33:19.360 well,
00:33:20.700 I've just got to get on with it.
00:33:22.020 And of course,
00:33:22.640 there's more nuance to that.
00:33:24.180 Unfortunately,
00:33:24.640 there were some businesses
00:33:25.360 that could no longer operate
00:33:26.440 because of COVID.
00:33:28.440 And a lot of people
00:33:29.100 couldn't do their job.
00:33:30.120 That's why they needed furlough
00:33:31.100 because the government
00:33:31.700 forced them not to as well.
00:33:32.960 Exactly.
00:33:33.720 But there was the attitude of,
00:33:37.000 particularly in my industry
00:33:38.140 with comedy,
00:33:39.180 in our industry at the time,
00:33:40.820 where comedians were saying,
00:33:42.360 well,
00:33:42.580 I need to be bailed out.
00:33:43.720 And it's like,
00:33:44.100 well,
00:33:44.780 I understand that your industry
00:33:46.140 has stopped,
00:33:46.760 but that doesn't mean
00:33:47.600 that you can't navigate
00:33:49.200 other areas.
00:33:50.260 Yes.
00:33:50.520 You can't do other things.
00:33:52.080 You're denying your agency.
00:33:54.100 Yes,
00:33:54.420 yeah.
00:33:54.620 We may have discussed this before,
00:33:57.400 but I've always been on,
00:33:59.220 adopted the left,
00:34:00.820 the left wing,
00:34:02.100 largely left wing argument
00:34:04.180 in psychology,
00:34:04.920 which is that most things in life
00:34:06.400 are due to trauma,
00:34:07.740 the environment,
00:34:08.360 and nurture.
00:34:09.460 But with COVID,
00:34:10.640 I really started to see a reaction
00:34:12.380 that I thought was nature-based
00:34:13.760 because it was so fast
00:34:15.400 and people were so certain
00:34:16.980 of their position,
00:34:17.940 literally within weeks,
00:34:19.400 without questioning it.
00:34:20.500 And I started to see that split.
00:34:22.040 You said that you were presenting
00:34:23.740 a non-nuanced version of reality,
00:34:25.860 but I would say the response
00:34:27.000 was non-nuanced.
00:34:28.320 Like,
00:34:28.880 it was really low resolution.
00:34:31.020 Largely speaking,
00:34:32.320 people went one of two ways.
00:34:34.080 They either wanted
00:34:35.180 blind submission to authority
00:34:36.860 and bailouts,
00:34:38.300 or they wanted to fight
00:34:39.820 against authority
00:34:40.520 and sort themselves out.
00:34:41.620 So you just had authoritarianism
00:34:44.260 versus essentially individualism.
00:34:47.400 And that was so fast.
00:34:49.080 And so I never had any doubts.
00:34:51.340 I wasn't like,
00:34:51.980 oh,
00:34:52.660 but I do like a bit
00:34:53.720 of authoritarianism.
00:34:54.800 I was like,
00:34:55.160 fuck no.
00:34:56.720 Get that away from me.
00:34:58.340 Absolutely not.
00:34:59.640 But people really close to me
00:35:00.940 went all the way
00:35:01.660 the other way overnight.
00:35:03.200 And I thought,
00:35:04.100 for the first time ever in my life,
00:35:05.440 I thought maybe there is
00:35:06.160 a genetic component to this.
00:35:07.920 This could be rooted
00:35:08.780 in our biology.
00:35:10.100 Because there were some people
00:35:11.140 who just craved it.
00:35:12.340 Yeah, yeah.
00:35:12.780 And they saw the government,
00:35:14.260 expansion of governmental control
00:35:16.040 in their lives
00:35:17.540 as a positive.
00:35:18.700 And they loved it.
00:35:19.480 And they loved it.
00:35:20.440 And they craved it
00:35:21.360 and they wanted more.
00:35:22.460 Yeah, 100%.
00:35:23.380 It makes sense.
00:35:24.240 I mean,
00:35:24.440 one of our fellow favorite guests
00:35:26.460 is a guy called Stephen Hicks
00:35:27.560 who's a philosopher
00:35:28.820 and historian.
00:35:30.120 I don't know if you're familiar with him.
00:35:31.320 Yeah, I've listened to him as well.
00:35:32.240 I'm a big fan of his.
00:35:33.260 And this is one of the points
00:35:34.780 that he made
00:35:35.320 is people who are temperamentally
00:35:37.000 fearful
00:35:38.160 of the future,
00:35:40.680 of life,
00:35:41.660 of the world.
00:35:42.340 They don't feel competent
00:35:44.400 or able to solve
00:35:45.580 their own problems.
00:35:46.660 It is very natural
00:35:47.780 to those people
00:35:48.560 to then cling
00:35:49.220 towards authoritarianism
00:35:50.480 because
00:35:50.780 in a time of panic,
00:35:53.740 in a time of fear,
00:35:55.200 if you don't feel able
00:35:56.360 to solve the problem,
00:35:57.260 well, someone else
00:35:57.760 has got to solve the problem.
00:35:58.780 Right?
00:35:58.920 Yes.
00:35:59.160 And who is that going to be?
00:36:00.740 The government.
00:36:01.500 Yes.
00:36:01.640 And if other people
00:36:03.260 are refusing
00:36:04.160 to cooperate,
00:36:06.560 what do you do?
00:36:07.720 Well, let's get the hammer out.
00:36:09.160 You know?
00:36:10.440 To me,
00:36:12.220 I kind of,
00:36:13.200 I had compassion
00:36:14.400 for the desire
00:36:15.740 to rely
00:36:17.620 on governmental
00:36:18.320 forces
00:36:19.120 and to have
00:36:19.920 that appeal
00:36:20.380 to authority,
00:36:21.220 a top-down appeal
00:36:21.940 to authority.
00:36:22.920 But it was so unquestioning,
00:36:24.660 it made me laugh.
00:36:25.680 I thought people were joking.
00:36:26.680 I was like,
00:36:27.160 why would you trust
00:36:27.980 your government
00:36:28.360 to do that?
00:36:29.300 What evidence
00:36:30.060 do you have
00:36:30.960 that your government
00:36:31.800 is qualified for this?
00:36:33.560 And they go,
00:36:33.860 well, it's the government,
00:36:34.500 just do what they say.
00:36:35.200 I'm like,
00:36:35.520 look at them
00:36:36.480 falling over each other
00:36:38.340 like clowns in a circus.
00:36:40.740 That's who we're trusting?
00:36:41.840 And they're like,
00:36:42.160 just, just, just,
00:36:43.580 there was this stressful response,
00:36:45.280 like,
00:36:46.160 just do as you say,
00:36:47.420 do as they say
00:36:48.120 and everything will be okay.
00:36:49.260 Do as they say
00:36:50.020 and everything will be okay.
00:36:51.020 Stop asking questions.
00:36:52.820 It threatens our survival.
00:36:54.440 It was like
00:36:54.900 we were on a life raft
00:36:56.180 and I was standing up
00:36:57.000 waving my arms.
00:36:57.820 They're like,
00:36:58.060 you're going to capsize
00:36:58.740 as all.
00:36:59.780 And I was like,
00:37:00.200 I don't see
00:37:01.000 that the world
00:37:02.020 is like this.
00:37:02.960 I don't see it
00:37:03.520 the way you guys
00:37:04.140 are seeing it
00:37:04.740 at all,
00:37:06.060 but they absolutely
00:37:07.260 saw it that way.
00:37:08.120 It was an amazing,
00:37:10.080 I'm still not fully recovered
00:37:11.440 if I'm,
00:37:11.860 if I'm being really honest.
00:37:12.880 I kind of,
00:37:13.980 I trust people a lot less.
00:37:15.680 I trust institutions
00:37:16.620 far less now.
00:37:18.480 And well,
00:37:18.940 the times we're living through now,
00:37:20.080 every month that goes by,
00:37:21.160 you see more and more reason
00:37:23.040 to be deeply suspicious
00:37:25.980 of what any of our institutions
00:37:28.420 are saying,
00:37:29.200 which institutions can we trust?
00:37:31.000 You don't trust your church,
00:37:32.220 you don't trust your media,
00:37:33.120 you don't trust your government,
00:37:33.900 you don't trust the police.
00:37:34.740 Who can you trust?
00:37:36.380 If we really lose all trust
00:37:38.260 for all of our institutions,
00:37:39.560 our civilization's moving nowhere.
00:37:41.380 Yeah.
00:37:41.760 And that's something that
00:37:42.780 I think people don't realize
00:37:45.220 when they,
00:37:46.460 you know,
00:37:47.460 they talk in such hyperbolic
00:37:49.100 manners and you know,
00:37:51.240 they try to put forward
00:37:52.680 this narrative about civil war
00:37:54.740 and you know,
00:37:55.780 talking about the West collapsing
00:37:57.320 in these grandiose terms,
00:37:58.780 you just go,
00:38:00.220 you're not doing good here.
00:38:02.600 Yeah, yeah.
00:38:03.320 You know,
00:38:03.700 there's a way to discuss these things
00:38:05.380 and these things do need
00:38:06.500 to be discussed,
00:38:07.120 but there's also a sensible way
00:38:09.460 to discuss them
00:38:10.320 without being inflammatory
00:38:11.580 and without trying
00:38:12.620 to polarize people.
00:38:14.520 Yes.
00:38:14.920 I think that the leaning towards
00:38:17.080 being inflammatory
00:38:18.280 and polarizing,
00:38:19.840 it's an unfortunate side effect
00:38:21.680 of the brain entrainment
00:38:24.140 that social media has given us.
00:38:25.860 You just get more likes,
00:38:27.320 you just get more views that way.
00:38:28.640 The more of a dick you are,
00:38:30.040 the more ridiculous statements
00:38:31.260 you make.
00:38:32.820 The three people
00:38:34.020 who are sat here now
00:38:34.960 would have more Instagram followers
00:38:36.320 if we deliberately
00:38:37.540 wound people up every week
00:38:38.980 and just adopted
00:38:40.020 the more polarized view
00:38:42.300 on any topic.
00:38:43.340 Just take the most polarized view
00:38:45.200 and just hammer that view
00:38:46.240 on any topic.
00:38:47.060 You'd have...
00:38:47.340 Well, this is what I was going to ask you.
00:38:49.180 You talk about not being
00:38:50.060 fully recovered
00:38:50.720 and I think as a society
00:38:52.060 we really haven't fully recovered
00:38:53.340 because one of the things...
00:38:56.260 There's obviously a thing
00:38:57.500 that exists
00:38:58.220 which is
00:38:59.080 on Twitter people call
00:39:01.440 I support the current thing.
00:39:03.100 Right.
00:39:03.240 Which is the government
00:39:04.220 and the mainstream media
00:39:05.220 saying you must do this,
00:39:06.260 therefore you must do this.
00:39:07.120 Yes.
00:39:07.640 We've now also seen
00:39:09.140 that there is
00:39:10.300 that I oppose
00:39:11.380 the current thing.
00:39:12.420 Okay.
00:39:12.900 And there's a whole economy
00:39:14.180 of people who are doing
00:39:15.120 what you're saying
00:39:15.860 which is going
00:39:16.680 oh, the government
00:39:17.720 is saying this
00:39:18.560 what would be the very...
00:39:20.420 Oh, here we go.
00:39:21.680 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:39:22.200 You know,
00:39:22.540 and then before you know it,
00:39:23.680 you know,
00:39:24.240 like and whatever
00:39:25.160 the opposite is
00:39:27.240 of what the government
00:39:28.060 is saying,
00:39:28.780 it's always there
00:39:29.820 and people who literally have...
00:39:32.020 and I saw it
00:39:32.940 with the war in Ukraine
00:39:33.640 because it's something
00:39:35.560 that I know a lot about
00:39:36.980 by virtue of background,
00:39:38.320 having family connections,
00:39:39.420 speaking in a language,
00:39:40.120 blah, blah, blah.
00:39:40.600 And I certainly saw these people,
00:39:42.040 people I know.
00:39:42.960 Yeah.
00:39:43.940 People who couldn't find Ukraine
00:39:45.260 on a map.
00:39:46.020 Right.
00:39:46.940 Having very strongly held
00:39:48.560 very, very extreme opinions
00:39:51.020 about that subject
00:39:51.840 and I think you've explained it perfectly
00:39:53.720 and guess what?
00:39:55.160 I reckon
00:39:55.800 if Donald Trump
00:39:58.180 had won the last election
00:39:59.560 and he was the one
00:40:01.700 sending money to Ukraine,
00:40:03.340 it would be exactly flipped.
00:40:05.740 All the people
00:40:06.600 who now oppose it
00:40:07.600 would support it
00:40:08.340 and all the people
00:40:09.020 who currently support it
00:40:10.040 would oppose it.
00:40:10.580 I mean, not all, obviously,
00:40:11.620 but the majority.
00:40:12.900 Yes, and I agree with you
00:40:14.360 and I think that
00:40:14.940 that says something very sad
00:40:16.300 about the state of modern politics.
00:40:18.140 So when I was in California
00:40:19.240 and I was talking to people there,
00:40:22.780 I was there in October
00:40:24.920 and I was saying,
00:40:26.880 you know,
00:40:27.040 I was asking around,
00:40:28.000 like,
00:40:28.180 would you vote for Biden?
00:40:29.560 And I said,
00:40:30.360 yeah, absolutely,
00:40:31.020 we would vote for Biden again.
00:40:32.360 What, with no reservation whatsoever?
00:40:34.480 And the attitude that I got
00:40:35.940 and the answer that I got
00:40:36.780 from most people was,
00:40:37.760 I would vote for anybody
00:40:39.200 as long as it meant
00:40:40.360 that Trump didn't get back in.
00:40:42.180 I was like,
00:40:42.920 okay, just
00:40:43.480 listen to yourself speak.
00:40:47.700 That's,
00:40:48.420 your vote
00:40:49.780 is just to stop
00:40:51.420 someone you don't like
00:40:52.580 from getting in.
00:40:54.840 That's not democracy.
00:40:56.680 That,
00:40:57.020 I don't know what you call that,
00:40:58.700 but that can't be,
00:40:59.900 that's not what
00:41:00.880 the voting system
00:41:01.860 was designed to do.
00:41:03.620 I'll just hate my enemies
00:41:05.200 at any cost.
00:41:06.900 It's not,
00:41:07.580 it's not,
00:41:09.040 I want this,
00:41:10.200 I believe in this policy,
00:41:11.680 this education policy is good,
00:41:13.580 it's just screw the other guys.
00:41:15.120 Whatever it takes to beat them,
00:41:17.160 that's what we're going to do.
00:41:18.400 That is not a healthy state
00:41:20.000 for politics to be in.
00:41:21.120 No,
00:41:21.500 because it's just built on revenge.
00:41:23.400 100%.
00:41:23.760 And what you see
00:41:24.780 in our culture,
00:41:26.020 a lot of what is going on
00:41:27.180 is revenge.
00:41:27.880 Yeah.
00:41:28.440 One side does one thing
00:41:29.700 to another side,
00:41:30.920 which is unfair and wrong,
00:41:32.420 and then the other side
00:41:33.500 then does the same thing,
00:41:35.160 and then they start using
00:41:36.800 each other's weapons.
00:41:38.020 Yeah.
00:41:38.180 Like the left started out
00:41:39.180 cancelling people,
00:41:39.980 and then the right went,
00:41:40.640 actually, you know what,
00:41:41.660 we're going to do the same thing.
00:41:43.080 Yes, yeah.
00:41:44.300 And you go,
00:41:45.300 well,
00:41:45.980 okay,
00:41:46.380 but what's the end game for that?
00:41:48.440 Yeah,
00:41:48.800 it creates an awful lot
00:41:50.180 of resentment,
00:41:51.020 more emotional dysregulation,
00:41:52.700 perceptions become more skewed.
00:41:55.780 And again,
00:41:57.260 when I look at this,
00:41:58.140 I think,
00:41:58.820 what is the solution?
00:42:00.160 I liked before what you said
00:42:01.380 about family.
00:42:02.520 Family,
00:42:03.100 community.
00:42:04.580 There is a practical solution.
00:42:06.240 I could get behind a movement
00:42:07.340 that said,
00:42:08.680 let's bring people back together
00:42:10.940 face to face.
00:42:12.200 It's England,
00:42:13.060 well,
00:42:13.260 it's the United,
00:42:13.960 it's cold,
00:42:14.800 it's a bit of a pain in the arse,
00:42:16.140 but we probably should see
00:42:17.300 more of each other.
00:42:18.380 Because we're all in our houses
00:42:19.460 seeing each other
00:42:20.200 through this evil thing
00:42:21.800 that just generates
00:42:22.700 the Jungian shadow in you.
00:42:24.720 You get a very strange view
00:42:26.420 of people out of the world.
00:42:27.440 There's not that many extremists
00:42:28.680 actually out there.
00:42:30.260 No.
00:42:30.400 They don't live on your road.
00:42:31.540 They don't go to your local,
00:42:32.680 if you knew the people around you,
00:42:34.940 you would probably feel
00:42:35.680 that we're better.
00:42:36.340 Plus,
00:42:36.620 I suspect that
00:42:37.360 it's just a good evolutionary match.
00:42:39.440 We probably just should be
00:42:40.300 sat around looking at each other.
00:42:41.800 We should be sat around
00:42:42.460 the campfire at the end of the day
00:42:43.740 just looking at each other
00:42:44.540 and talking.
00:42:45.480 And that would probably bring
00:42:46.400 a lot of the stress
00:42:47.160 levels down,
00:42:47.980 I suspect.
00:42:48.780 So I like that.
00:42:48.980 And I think as well, man,
00:42:50.420 whenever we talk about solutions,
00:42:52.660 we've all become very
00:42:54.200 extreme left about it
00:42:56.080 in that we always think
00:42:57.160 we need a movement
00:42:58.000 and a system
00:42:58.760 and a whatever.
00:42:59.660 Whereas actually,
00:43:00.440 I think the truth is
00:43:01.780 a lot of the solution
00:43:03.280 to what,
00:43:05.160 you know,
00:43:05.500 people go through life
00:43:06.660 and most people
00:43:08.260 live lives
00:43:09.400 where they experience
00:43:10.420 a lot of anxiety,
00:43:11.920 a lot of fear
00:43:12.880 about the future,
00:43:13.700 a lot of loneliness,
00:43:15.120 a lot of disconnection.
00:43:16.520 The answer to that
00:43:17.600 is not for the three of us
00:43:19.000 to sit here
00:43:19.580 and devise a system.
00:43:21.620 It's for you as an individual,
00:43:23.520 for me as an individual
00:43:24.560 to go for a walk,
00:43:25.860 to go to the gym,
00:43:27.180 to have children
00:43:28.240 and look after them,
00:43:29.580 to make sure your relationship
00:43:31.220 is happy,
00:43:31.640 to get therapy
00:43:32.280 if that's what you need
00:43:33.100 because sometimes
00:43:33.720 that's what you need too,
00:43:34.740 right?
00:43:34.860 to put things in place
00:43:37.060 in your own life
00:43:38.000 that make your life better
00:43:39.060 and then
00:43:40.040 when we come on set here
00:43:41.320 we can have
00:43:42.000 a conversation
00:43:43.320 as people
00:43:44.040 who are emotionally
00:43:44.920 better regulated
00:43:45.920 than otherwise would be.
00:43:46.900 I think that's much more
00:43:47.880 the answer
00:43:48.320 than coming up
00:43:49.480 with a grand plan.
00:43:51.640 I actually didn't realise
00:43:52.740 that I was unconsciously
00:43:53.720 doing that
00:43:54.100 but you're right,
00:43:54.760 it is more of a left-wing,
00:43:57.100 it's an unconscious
00:43:57.760 left-wing response
00:43:58.580 is like there should be
00:43:59.460 a movement.
00:44:00.600 Why?
00:44:01.640 That's an externalised
00:44:02.540 locus of control
00:44:03.220 and all that that would do
00:44:04.460 is further infantilise people
00:44:05.900 but I think I've been
00:44:06.960 trained into that
00:44:07.580 because a lot of my interactions
00:44:08.840 with people
00:44:09.300 are through social media
00:44:10.200 and they're constantly
00:44:11.220 saying to me
00:44:11.800 do something
00:44:12.360 and I'm like
00:44:13.280 oh,
00:44:14.260 maybe I have to do something
00:44:16.280 but you're right,
00:44:17.000 no I don't.
00:44:18.100 Why the fuck should I do?
00:44:19.300 You do something.
00:44:20.680 You're an adult,
00:44:21.700 I'm an adult,
00:44:22.660 what do I know?
00:44:23.180 Well,
00:44:23.440 as people who talk in public
00:44:24.740 or are in public
00:44:26.060 or do things in public
00:44:26.960 I think that's
00:44:27.920 actually quite a big part of it
00:44:29.400 is just
00:44:29.840 and I'm not using myself
00:44:32.220 as an example,
00:44:32.860 I remember
00:44:33.160 15 years ago
00:44:35.360 I saw
00:44:36.260 a clip of Peter Hitchens
00:44:37.680 who I used to think
00:44:38.460 was a right wing lunatic
00:44:39.380 until I became
00:44:40.240 a centrist lunatic
00:44:41.800 or whatever I am now
00:44:42.820 and he was talking about
00:44:45.080 cyclisation of everything
00:44:46.480 and he said
00:44:47.960 a lot of people
00:44:48.820 a lot of the time
00:44:49.420 people now talk about things
00:44:50.780 where the solution
00:44:52.020 is just to go
00:44:52.700 for a brisk walk
00:44:53.720 and I realised
00:44:55.220 I was sitting at home
00:44:56.340 having spent the entire day
00:44:57.860 in front of my computer
00:44:58.740 first working
00:44:59.560 then playing computer games
00:45:00.740 feeling shit
00:45:01.940 and here I was
00:45:03.180 on YouTube
00:45:03.580 listening to Peter Hitchens
00:45:04.840 why not go
00:45:06.840 for a walk
00:45:07.680 and I went for a walk
00:45:08.520 and I felt better
00:45:09.200 amazing
00:45:09.940 and I was like
00:45:10.680 oh
00:45:11.240 that's the answer
00:45:13.820 and this is I think
00:45:15.140 because
00:45:15.780 we've got to a point
00:45:17.640 where we think
00:45:18.340 that thought
00:45:19.720 is power
00:45:20.580 and it's not
00:45:22.300 thought plus action
00:45:24.160 is power
00:45:24.860 or action
00:45:25.660 is power
00:45:26.340 but thought
00:45:27.780 you can't think
00:45:28.360 your way out
00:45:28.780 of a paper bag
00:45:29.440 you have to do things
00:45:30.580 and I think
00:45:32.100 this is where
00:45:32.840 I'm really interested
00:45:33.560 to hear
00:45:33.960 what you talk about
00:45:34.940 in the book
00:45:35.300 in terms of
00:45:35.740 the practical steps
00:45:36.720 for people
00:45:37.220 to overcome
00:45:38.520 what they've experienced
00:45:40.300 in that kind of relationship
00:45:41.900 so tell us more
00:45:42.580 about the practical steps
00:45:43.680 of dealing with
00:45:44.260 things like that
00:45:44.880 there's a few things
00:45:46.300 that I advocate for
00:45:47.180 in the book
00:45:47.780 one of them
00:45:48.300 is an exercise
00:45:50.200 I came up with
00:45:50.880 for myself
00:45:51.420 when I was
00:45:51.840 years ago
00:45:52.680 back in 2013
00:45:53.700 I was living in Kuala Lumpur
00:45:54.660 but I wasn't mentally
00:45:56.200 particularly doing
00:45:57.180 very well
00:45:57.760 and I formulated
00:45:59.980 this exercise
00:46:00.800 where I wanted
00:46:02.100 to get
00:46:03.140 an objective sense
00:46:04.300 of where I was
00:46:04.840 in the world
00:46:05.180 and how people
00:46:05.680 saw me
00:46:06.160 so I did
00:46:07.200 like a profit
00:46:07.760 and loss account
00:46:08.500 put a line
00:46:09.280 right down the middle
00:46:09.940 how do I see myself
00:46:12.140 what am I really about
00:46:13.240 and then I listed
00:46:14.540 how do other people
00:46:15.800 see me
00:46:16.260 the disparity
00:46:19.020 between the two
00:46:20.400 like I had
00:46:20.920 no control
00:46:22.160 or I had
00:46:23.880 a very
00:46:24.460 big gap
00:46:26.260 between
00:46:26.700 what my intention
00:46:27.640 was
00:46:28.020 and how I was
00:46:29.000 allowing other people
00:46:29.960 to see me
00:46:30.540 you know
00:46:31.580 I was
00:46:32.040 a hundred kilogram
00:46:34.740 fat white guy
00:46:35.680 with a shaved head
00:46:36.480 living in a largely
00:46:37.400 Chinese
00:46:38.080 conservative area
00:46:39.360 and people would
00:46:40.680 treat me with suspicion
00:46:41.480 and they looked at me
00:46:42.140 like a criminal
00:46:42.700 because they were
00:46:44.720 racist
00:46:45.500 because
00:46:47.780 you can't be racist
00:46:48.580 to white people
00:46:49.200 they would have
00:46:50.420 been racist
00:46:50.920 if I wasn't
00:46:52.700 gammon
00:46:53.040 they would be racist
00:46:53.780 but they looked
00:46:55.840 at me like
00:46:56.240 I was a criminal
00:46:56.800 because I kind of
00:46:58.080 looked like a criminal
00:46:58.980 I was in a place
00:47:00.660 where there was
00:47:01.880 nobody else there
00:47:02.480 like me
00:47:02.840 I didn't
00:47:04.300 dress very well
00:47:05.260 I didn't care
00:47:06.400 about my appearance
00:47:07.280 when I spoke
00:47:07.940 to people
00:47:08.540 I used a very
00:47:10.020 abrasive style
00:47:11.160 of humour
00:47:11.640 that I thought
00:47:12.300 was funny
00:47:12.960 but it was often
00:47:14.180 a lot of like
00:47:15.260 sexual jokes
00:47:16.160 or violent jokes
00:47:17.200 or things that
00:47:17.680 are kind of
00:47:17.960 a little bit
00:47:18.240 shocking
00:47:18.600 and
00:47:20.000 I sort of
00:47:21.280 looked at that
00:47:22.380 and was like
00:47:22.860 okay
00:47:23.120 I don't want
00:47:24.160 people to see me
00:47:25.000 that way
00:47:25.360 there's a lot of
00:47:25.900 stuff I'm saying
00:47:26.600 and doing here
00:47:27.360 that is giving people
00:47:28.700 a sense of who I am
00:47:29.560 that's a million miles
00:47:30.620 away from what I care
00:47:31.760 about and what my
00:47:32.340 values are
00:47:33.020 and getting a hold
00:47:34.580 of that
00:47:35.080 really made a huge
00:47:36.980 difference in my life
00:47:37.800 because if you're
00:47:38.740 internally this
00:47:40.860 but you're
00:47:41.580 externally projecting
00:47:43.260 that
00:47:43.620 the feedback
00:47:44.540 you're getting
00:47:45.000 from the social
00:47:45.520 environment
00:47:45.960 is not congruent
00:47:46.900 with who you are
00:47:47.700 and you end up
00:47:48.900 with this weird
00:47:49.400 sense of alienation
00:47:50.320 from yourself
00:47:50.960 that creates
00:47:52.080 a huge amount
00:47:52.760 of depression
00:47:53.240 and anxiety
00:47:53.980 there's people
00:47:55.080 that we've been
00:47:55.560 talking about today
00:47:56.220 like extremists
00:47:57.020 on both sides
00:47:57.700 of the polarisation
00:47:58.960 politically
00:47:59.520 who I think
00:48:00.680 you know
00:48:01.320 with like a
00:48:01.780 one or two day
00:48:02.480 seminar
00:48:02.820 you could do
00:48:03.340 work with them
00:48:03.820 like this
00:48:04.160 and just be like
00:48:04.640 okay
00:48:05.000 you're very angry
00:48:07.120 about something
00:48:07.720 what are you
00:48:08.940 trying to
00:48:09.900 tell people
00:48:10.840 well
00:48:11.960 okay
00:48:12.780 just calmly
00:48:13.920 just can we
00:48:14.640 write it down
00:48:15.320 and then feed it
00:48:16.320 back to them
00:48:16.780 socratically
00:48:17.460 are you saying
00:48:18.860 until they're
00:48:19.840 satisfied
00:48:20.280 that you've got
00:48:20.980 a sense of
00:48:21.340 what they're
00:48:21.540 trying to say
00:48:22.000 and then just
00:48:22.760 explore the
00:48:23.240 possibility that
00:48:24.040 maybe there's a
00:48:24.720 way of conveying
00:48:25.600 it that doesn't
00:48:26.540 require all this
00:48:27.800 you can get
00:48:29.480 stuck in anger
00:48:30.280 you can get
00:48:30.820 stuck in resentment
00:48:31.640 and stuck in pain
00:48:32.640 and you become
00:48:33.500 aggressive
00:48:34.760 but you don't
00:48:35.580 mean to
00:48:36.080 I've lived it
00:48:36.680 I've lived it
00:48:37.320 I know what being
00:48:38.300 I know what being
00:48:39.460 a fringe
00:48:39.940 lunatic
00:48:40.420 radical leftist
00:48:41.260 is
00:48:41.480 I've literally
00:48:42.140 been that
00:48:42.760 somebody who's
00:48:43.520 traumatised
00:48:44.200 somebody who's
00:48:44.620 experienced sexual
00:48:46.080 and physical abuse
00:48:46.880 as a kid
00:48:47.380 who's angry
00:48:48.520 with someone
00:48:50.120 out there
00:48:50.900 who's more
00:48:51.380 powerful than
00:48:52.000 I am
00:48:52.400 and then you
00:48:53.260 become the
00:48:53.940 conspiracy theorist
00:48:54.840 it's the
00:48:55.220 structure
00:48:55.640 it's the
00:48:56.160 patriarchy
00:48:56.880 it's
00:48:57.480 I used to
00:48:58.520 write essays
00:48:59.320 railing against
00:49:00.220 western
00:49:02.140 mechanistic
00:49:03.160 scientific
00:49:04.380 perspectives
00:49:04.960 and I
00:49:05.620 really hated
00:49:07.080 it
00:49:07.340 because I
00:49:08.200 thought
00:49:08.660 that's what
00:49:10.720 had hurt me
00:49:11.280 I thought
00:49:12.040 that's what
00:49:12.680 had caused
00:49:13.080 me pain
00:49:13.580 and was
00:49:13.820 causing pain
00:49:14.400 all around
00:49:14.860 the world
00:49:15.380 and you
00:49:16.960 can
00:49:17.220 if you're
00:49:17.760 stuck
00:49:18.180 there
00:49:18.520 you can
00:49:18.940 build
00:49:19.340 that
00:49:19.600 narrative
00:49:20.040 like
00:49:20.600 if we
00:49:21.240 did a
00:49:21.520 writing
00:49:21.820 exercise
00:49:22.300 all three
00:49:22.900 of us
00:49:23.140 could
00:49:23.360 write
00:49:24.020 like that
00:49:24.600 it's not
00:49:25.140 it's not
00:49:26.420 impossible
00:49:26.940 to get
00:49:27.680 into that
00:49:28.040 headspace
00:49:28.600 but then
00:49:29.880 slowly over
00:49:30.660 time you
00:49:31.080 just have
00:49:31.400 to look
00:49:32.220 and say
00:49:32.560 okay
00:49:32.880 is that
00:49:33.920 true
00:49:34.280 you know
00:49:35.220 is the
00:49:36.120 history
00:49:36.500 of the
00:49:37.040 United
00:49:37.340 Kingdom
00:49:37.800 one of
00:49:38.520 colonisation
00:49:39.360 genocide
00:49:40.040 and slavery
00:49:40.760 and nothing
00:49:41.760 else
00:49:42.340 for example
00:49:43.240 which is
00:49:43.720 one of
00:49:44.020 those
00:49:44.240 it's
00:49:45.220 I remember
00:49:45.880 listening to
00:49:46.340 Douglas
00:49:46.620 Murray
00:49:46.840 break that
00:49:47.280 down
00:49:47.520 and when
00:49:47.800 I'm trying
00:49:48.120 to get
00:49:48.320 into that
00:49:48.580 headspace
00:49:48.960 that's
00:49:49.360 the example
00:49:49.820 I go to
00:49:50.320 first
00:49:50.620 I'm like
00:49:50.880 okay
00:49:51.180 where are
00:49:52.140 the
00:49:52.260 contravening
00:49:52.780 examples
00:49:53.220 where do
00:49:53.760 you see
00:49:53.960 the bits
00:49:54.260 and pieces
00:49:54.660 that move
00:49:55.200 against that
00:49:55.760 very simplistic
00:49:56.560 and kind
00:49:58.320 of satiating
00:49:59.420 narrative
00:49:59.880 it's like
00:50:00.480 eating a
00:50:01.080 big fat
00:50:02.500 burger
00:50:03.080 because it
00:50:04.000 gives you
00:50:04.840 everything you
00:50:05.440 want straight
00:50:05.940 away
00:50:06.160 yes
00:50:06.920 England
00:50:07.460 is awful
00:50:07.940 United Kingdom
00:50:08.620 is awful
00:50:09.040 white people
00:50:09.660 are awful
00:50:10.020 it's all
00:50:10.420 slow down
00:50:11.700 there's a few
00:50:13.380 facts
00:50:14.060 historically
00:50:14.600 speaking
00:50:15.100 that we
00:50:15.600 have to
00:50:15.940 look at
00:50:16.360 oh that's
00:50:17.280 hard
00:50:17.760 I have to
00:50:18.460 think
00:50:18.860 yeah you
00:50:19.740 might
00:50:20.060 you might
00:50:20.620 have to
00:50:20.940 think
00:50:21.240 you might
00:50:21.480 have to
00:50:21.700 look at
00:50:21.960 some
00:50:22.140 things
00:50:22.460 that
00:50:22.740 won't
00:50:23.480 make you
00:50:23.820 comfortable
00:50:24.200 that
00:50:24.580 will
00:50:25.600 go against
00:50:26.760 this
00:50:27.720 I think
00:50:28.760 some of
00:50:29.100 these
00:50:29.340 narratives
00:50:30.020 they're
00:50:30.300 placatory
00:50:30.800 it's like
00:50:31.160 sucking your
00:50:32.440 thumb
00:50:32.620 you're basically
00:50:33.260 sucking your
00:50:33.700 thumb
00:50:33.900 and going
00:50:34.420 okay I
00:50:34.760 feel better
00:50:35.160 now
00:50:35.420 Richard
00:50:36.240 do you
00:50:36.760 think
00:50:36.980 as well
00:50:37.500 let's
00:50:38.240 go back
00:50:38.820 to narcissism
00:50:39.760 to me
00:50:40.620 the conspiracy
00:50:41.360 theories
00:50:42.140 and conspiracy
00:50:42.880 theorists
00:50:43.560 and narcissism
00:50:44.540 they're quite
00:50:45.080 they seem to be
00:50:45.900 linked
00:50:46.300 because it's
00:50:47.260 someone going
00:50:47.860 I've got the
00:50:49.200 answers
00:50:49.600 I really
00:50:51.000 know what's
00:50:51.660 going on
00:50:52.340 and you see
00:50:53.460 them all the
00:50:54.280 time on social
00:50:55.100 media going
00:50:55.620 this thing
00:50:56.140 that's just
00:50:56.540 happened
00:50:56.840 this major
00:50:57.500 world event
00:50:58.220 this happened
00:50:59.260 because of
00:51:00.000 it's about
00:51:00.700 me
00:51:01.140 and I
00:51:05.960 know
00:51:06.400 why this
00:51:07.460 has happened
00:51:08.000 and it's
00:51:08.520 because of
00:51:08.980 this
00:51:09.240 and it's
00:51:09.560 like well
00:51:10.000 no you
00:51:10.460 don't
00:51:10.960 and isn't
00:51:11.560 that quite
00:51:11.920 a grandiose
00:51:12.700 thing to
00:51:13.100 say
00:51:13.380 that you
00:51:14.000 are one
00:51:14.340 of the
00:51:14.580 few
00:51:14.800 people
00:51:15.260 who
00:51:15.640 actually
00:51:15.960 really
00:51:16.560 understands
00:51:17.320 this
00:51:17.480 yes
00:51:17.700 I'm a
00:51:18.200 member
00:51:18.440 of the
00:51:18.820 gnostic
00:51:19.220 brotherhood
00:51:19.820 of the
00:51:20.040 illuminati
00:51:20.620 and I
00:51:21.140 know the
00:51:21.760 truth
00:51:22.100 yeah
00:51:22.380 it's
00:51:23.180 very
00:51:23.360 grandiose
00:51:23.960 and
00:51:24.880 yes
00:51:25.780 it's
00:51:26.060 fuelled
00:51:26.320 by
00:51:26.740 I think
00:51:27.480 it's
00:51:27.900 called
00:51:28.060 ideas
00:51:28.420 of
00:51:28.600 reference
00:51:28.940 which
00:51:29.240 is
00:51:29.380 it's
00:51:29.540 self
00:51:29.680 centered
00:51:29.940 you're
00:51:30.200 basically
00:51:30.440 saying
00:51:30.640 this is
00:51:30.840 all about
00:51:31.140 me
00:51:31.360 fundamentally
00:51:32.320 the
00:51:32.620 narrative
00:51:33.000 that they
00:51:33.400 have
00:51:33.700 behind
00:51:34.060 everything
00:51:34.380 they're
00:51:34.580 saying
00:51:34.900 is
00:51:35.140 all roads
00:51:36.020 lead
00:51:36.240 back
00:51:36.460 to
00:51:36.620 Rome
00:51:36.840 which
00:51:37.200 is
00:51:37.300 me
00:51:37.660 I
00:51:38.860 am
00:51:39.100 Rome
00:51:39.380 this is
00:51:39.840 all
00:51:40.200 about
00:51:40.560 me
00:51:40.880 and yes
00:51:41.940 there is
00:51:42.420 there is
00:51:42.900 a narcissism
00:51:43.540 to that
00:51:43.860 as well
00:51:44.120 because
00:51:44.420 it's
00:51:44.860 not only
00:51:45.340 is it
00:51:45.580 grandiose
00:51:46.220 it's
00:51:47.440 riddled
00:51:47.760 with
00:51:47.940 ideas
00:51:48.380 of
00:51:49.220 self
00:51:50.200 reference
00:51:50.600 but it's
00:51:51.800 delusional
00:51:52.440 like you
00:51:53.220 just said
00:51:53.600 no you
00:51:54.780 don't
00:51:55.160 know
00:51:55.480 none of
00:51:56.040 us
00:51:56.220 really
00:51:56.720 know
00:51:57.180 we can
00:51:57.980 look at
00:51:58.280 the evidence
00:51:58.820 and we
00:51:59.200 can hypothesize
00:52:00.220 and we
00:52:00.500 can
00:52:00.660 challenge
00:52:01.120 whatever
00:52:02.240 the
00:52:02.720 major
00:52:03.240 narrative
00:52:03.720 is
00:52:03.960 but
00:52:04.140 nobody
00:52:05.080 actually
00:52:05.740 really
00:52:06.040 knows
00:52:06.300 and
00:52:06.520 where
00:52:07.200 did
00:52:07.380 you
00:52:07.480 get
00:52:07.680 your
00:52:07.920 effing
00:52:08.340 certainty
00:52:08.920 from
00:52:09.340 and
00:52:09.880 does
00:52:10.160 that
00:52:10.360 serve
00:52:10.760 you
00:52:11.060 to
00:52:11.540 be
00:52:11.700 that
00:52:12.020 certain
00:52:12.560 all
00:52:13.560 the
00:52:13.800 time
00:52:14.220 about
00:52:14.580 every
00:52:15.160 single
00:52:15.500 topic
00:52:15.980 it
00:52:17.000 doesn't
00:52:17.260 make
00:52:17.420 sense
00:52:17.760 it's
00:52:18.020 not
00:52:18.300 I
00:52:19.580 think
00:52:20.140 that
00:52:20.660 is
00:52:21.040 that's
00:52:21.780 a
00:52:21.900 philosophical
00:52:22.240 point
00:52:22.760 that's
00:52:23.060 where I
00:52:23.340 would
00:52:23.460 say
00:52:23.580 okay
00:52:23.800 here
00:52:24.240 I
00:52:25.000 can
00:52:25.140 see
00:52:25.320 a
00:52:25.520 gap
00:52:25.820 in
00:52:26.040 the
00:52:26.180 puzzle
00:52:26.480 and
00:52:26.700 that
00:52:26.860 definitely
00:52:27.220 philosophy
00:52:27.740 goes
00:52:28.060 in
00:52:28.200 there
00:52:28.380 let's
00:52:29.240 learn
00:52:29.540 to
00:52:29.720 think
00:52:29.960 again
00:52:30.280 let's
00:52:30.680 make
00:52:30.860 thinking
00:52:31.220 great
00:52:31.560 again
00:52:31.900 you
00:52:32.560 know
00:52:32.740 the
00:52:32.960 Socratic
00:52:33.400 method
00:52:33.820 let's
00:52:34.080 go back
00:52:34.500 and
00:52:34.700 forth
00:52:35.080 what
00:52:35.340 is
00:52:35.640 your
00:52:35.740 position
00:52:36.160 is
00:52:36.540 there
00:52:36.680 any
00:52:36.960 evidence
00:52:37.360 you've
00:52:37.620 ever
00:52:37.840 seen
00:52:38.200 that
00:52:38.360 opposes
00:52:40.160 that
00:52:40.360 position
00:52:40.780 okay
00:52:41.280 well
00:52:41.760 you know
00:52:42.780 let's
00:52:43.080 think
00:52:43.320 in a
00:52:43.540 more
00:52:43.700 nuanced
00:52:44.100 way
00:52:44.440 let's
00:52:44.700 learn
00:52:44.980 to
00:52:45.180 think
00:52:45.500 whereas
00:52:45.960 what
00:52:46.780 we
00:52:46.920 have
00:52:47.160 now
00:52:47.660 is
00:52:48.700 a
00:52:49.100 screaming
00:52:49.400 mob
00:52:49.760 and
00:52:50.720 that
00:52:50.920 obviously
00:52:51.320 reduces
00:52:51.840 everything
00:52:52.440 becomes
00:52:52.960 low
00:52:53.220 resolution
00:52:53.760 there's
00:52:54.040 low
00:52:54.320 resolution
00:52:54.840 perspectives
00:52:55.400 of
00:52:55.680 problems
00:52:56.100 and
00:52:56.680 they
00:52:56.940 yield
00:52:57.460 low
00:52:57.720 resolution
00:52:58.160 solutions
00:52:58.760 of course
00:52:59.360 they
00:52:59.520 do
00:52:59.700 that
00:53:00.500 are
00:53:00.600 highly
00:53:00.860 emotive
00:53:01.480 and
00:53:01.780 extremely
00:53:02.940 self
00:53:03.200 serving
00:53:03.520 so yes
00:53:03.900 absolutely
00:53:04.280 there is
00:53:04.660 narcissism
00:53:05.140 there
00:53:05.360 and
00:53:05.800 it's
00:53:06.000 also
00:53:06.220 as well
00:53:06.560 you know
00:53:07.180 this is
00:53:08.220 the thing
00:53:08.460 that I
00:53:08.740 find
00:53:08.980 depressing
00:53:09.440 is that
00:53:09.980 if someone
00:53:10.400 says
00:53:10.760 one
00:53:11.200 thing
00:53:11.680 normally
00:53:12.840 you can
00:53:13.620 see
00:53:13.960 like
00:53:14.300 oh
00:53:14.520 you're
00:53:14.700 going
00:53:14.800 to
00:53:14.900 think
00:53:15.460 this
00:53:15.800 so
00:53:16.540 for
00:53:16.780 instance
00:53:17.080 if
00:53:17.300 someone's
00:53:17.640 really
00:53:17.940 distrustful
00:53:18.620 of the
00:53:18.860 government
00:53:19.220 and they
00:53:20.120 think
00:53:20.400 the
00:53:20.580 government
00:53:20.880 is
00:53:21.160 corrupt
00:53:21.540 and
00:53:21.780 they're
00:53:21.900 not
00:53:22.040 being
00:53:22.280 honest
00:53:22.620 which
00:53:22.920 is
00:53:23.420 a
00:53:23.540 legitimate
00:53:23.860 point
00:53:24.240 of
00:53:24.420 view
00:53:24.620 you
00:53:25.300 kind
00:53:25.560 of
00:53:25.640 go
00:53:25.760 yeah
00:53:25.940 I
00:53:26.060 bet
00:53:26.180 you're
00:53:26.340 into
00:53:26.500 bitcoin
00:53:26.920 so
00:53:29.180 these
00:53:29.500 rebels
00:53:29.980 actually
00:53:30.380 become
00:53:30.800 just
00:53:31.080 carbon
00:53:31.480 copy
00:53:32.480 printouts
00:53:32.900 and it's
00:53:33.180 the same
00:53:33.460 on the
00:53:33.660 other side
00:53:34.100 as well
00:53:34.360 and they
00:53:35.860 all think
00:53:36.500 the same
00:53:36.960 way about
00:53:37.420 a specific
00:53:38.140 set of
00:53:38.740 things
00:53:39.080 and it's
00:53:40.380 like you're
00:53:40.820 saying
00:53:41.160 we need
00:53:42.240 to
00:53:42.540 actually
00:53:43.280 make
00:53:43.740 thinking
00:53:44.080 great
00:53:44.400 again
00:53:44.640 by going
00:53:45.380 well
00:53:45.900 you can
00:53:46.540 think
00:53:46.740 the
00:53:46.900 government
00:53:47.120 is
00:53:47.380 corrupt
00:53:47.600 and
00:53:47.960 they
00:53:48.660 probably
00:53:48.960 are
00:53:49.260 yeah
00:53:49.720 but that
00:53:50.280 doesn't
00:53:50.540 mean
00:53:50.720 that
00:53:50.920 bitcoin
00:53:51.240 is
00:53:51.520 going
00:53:51.640 to
00:53:51.700 be
00:53:51.800 the
00:53:52.000 solution
00:53:52.480 that's
00:53:53.000 really
00:53:53.240 interesting
00:53:53.700 I'd
00:53:53.940 never
00:53:54.080 thought
00:53:54.340 of it
00:53:54.520 that way
00:53:54.780 before
00:53:55.040 actually
00:53:55.320 yes
00:53:55.600 you can
00:53:59.500 create a
00:53:59.840 graph
00:54:00.220 or something
00:54:00.680 for this
00:54:01.020 there will
00:54:01.640 be
00:54:01.780 and there
00:54:02.080 will be
00:54:02.360 like
00:54:02.820 I mean
00:54:03.380 the correlation
00:54:04.020 between people
00:54:04.660 in America
00:54:05.200 who are
00:54:05.620 anti-abortion
00:54:06.440 and pro-gun
00:54:07.260 or pro-masks
00:54:09.380 and therefore
00:54:10.100 pro-tax rises
00:54:11.900 you know
00:54:12.180 like
00:54:12.440 I mean
00:54:13.220 one thing
00:54:14.060 just trips
00:54:14.580 the other
00:54:14.900 well it's like
00:54:15.340 fish and chips
00:54:16.240 you can't have
00:54:16.860 one without
00:54:17.280 the other
00:54:17.760 for some reason
00:54:18.480 you know
00:54:18.800 what I mean
00:54:19.220 so you're
00:54:19.920 super pro-mask
00:54:20.960 but you're
00:54:21.300 also super
00:54:21.920 pro-abortion
00:54:22.620 wow
00:54:22.980 that would be
00:54:23.700 yeah
00:54:24.840 I'm sorry
00:54:25.600 you're super
00:54:26.120 pro-health
00:54:26.760 except for
00:54:27.720 fetuses
00:54:28.340 right
00:54:28.840 right
00:54:29.400 yeah
00:54:29.780 no
00:54:30.160 I suppose
00:54:31.180 so I suppose
00:54:32.780 it makes sense
00:54:33.420 because there's a congruence
00:54:34.340 of values there
00:54:35.140 but I also
00:54:36.020 think what you're saying
00:54:36.720 is interesting
00:54:37.120 it's like we just
00:54:37.640 fall into an archetype
00:54:38.700 because I believe this
00:54:40.100 well I don't have to
00:54:41.560 think then do I
00:54:42.300 I could just
00:54:42.840 ingest
00:54:43.280 I could just
00:54:43.680 empty my mind
00:54:44.380 and just
00:54:44.640 that's it
00:54:45.000 because look
00:54:45.660 Joe Rogan for example
00:54:46.560 we talked to him about this
00:54:47.520 he's massively into guns
00:54:48.720 I think he's massively
00:54:49.700 pro-choice as far as I understand
00:54:51.100 I don't know if he's massively
00:54:52.180 pro-choice
00:54:52.560 he's definitely
00:54:53.020 you know
00:54:53.500 not everyone has to
00:54:54.820 align with all issues
00:54:55.720 that's why I call myself
00:54:56.720 a centrist
00:54:57.280 it's not because
00:54:58.340 I am in the center
00:54:59.360 of every issue
00:55:00.320 as we've established
00:55:01.480 on some issues
00:55:02.140 I'm far right
00:55:02.800 but you know what I mean
00:55:04.660 like there's certain things
00:55:05.720 about which I feel
00:55:06.480 quite strongly to one side
00:55:07.800 there's issues about
00:55:08.580 which I feel strongly
00:55:09.360 to the left
00:55:09.920 you know
00:55:10.200 decriminalization
00:55:11.280 of certain drugs
00:55:12.000 for example
00:55:12.520 you know
00:55:12.980 and then you
00:55:14.740 the centrist
00:55:16.020 isn't really a good way
00:55:16.860 of describing that
00:55:17.720 I'm just someone
00:55:18.460 who wants to think
00:55:19.440 about things
00:55:19.980 on an individual basis
00:55:21.100 as opposed to
00:55:21.800 get a package
00:55:22.420 off the shelf
00:55:23.100 yes
00:55:24.140 and I do wonder
00:55:25.380 like when it comes
00:55:26.660 to Joe Rogan
00:55:27.440 if
00:55:28.720 there's obviously
00:55:29.580 a lot of reasons
00:55:30.320 for his appeal
00:55:31.080 but I think that could
00:55:32.000 be one of them
00:55:32.860 that could be one of them
00:55:34.060 is that the guy
00:55:34.700 can be pro-hunting
00:55:36.140 pro-meat-eating
00:55:37.460 pro-gun
00:55:38.220 and then very pro-choice
00:55:39.900 and in America
00:55:41.300 that's
00:55:41.860 it's a pretty
00:55:42.700 it's a pretty rare thing
00:55:43.920 I meet people like that
00:55:45.520 if I want to meet people
00:55:46.380 like that
00:55:46.620 when I go and visit
00:55:47.180 my sister in California
00:55:48.140 there's a place
00:55:49.280 called Iron Sights
00:55:50.220 there's a shooting range
00:55:51.160 it's like a 40 minute
00:55:52.140 drive from her house
00:55:53.140 and that's where
00:55:54.060 you'll meet
00:55:54.600 that
00:55:55.200 you can't put them
00:55:57.520 in boxes
00:55:57.940 because they're Californians
00:55:59.640 they vote this way
00:56:00.560 but they love their guns
00:56:01.560 and they will
00:56:02.680 disappear off
00:56:03.520 into the woods
00:56:04.020 if they feel
00:56:04.600 if they feel
00:56:05.560 they need to
00:56:06.080 they can survive
00:56:06.820 so there is
00:56:08.840 there is that there
00:56:09.720 so there's
00:56:10.160 there is a degree
00:56:10.960 of nuance there
00:56:12.560 and with him
00:56:13.320 I also think
00:56:14.220 the encouragement
00:56:16.080 to thought
00:56:16.880 but not
00:56:17.740 in like
00:56:18.540 well he doesn't have
00:56:19.860 a snotty English accent
00:56:20.940 and he doesn't come
00:56:22.140 from a highbrow
00:56:23.240 perspective
00:56:24.360 quoting different
00:56:25.600 various authors
00:56:26.380 that you're never
00:56:26.920 going to read
00:56:27.320 because they're hard
00:56:27.820 to read
00:56:28.260 it's more of that
00:56:29.600 sort of like
00:56:30.200 a guy who took
00:56:31.180 psychedelics
00:56:31.840 and he's like
00:56:32.220 did you ever think
00:56:33.960 that maybe
00:56:34.880 and just
00:56:35.560 like
00:56:36.260 that's philosophy
00:56:37.520 actually
00:56:38.100 that's kind of
00:56:38.900 a philosophical exercise
00:56:39.940 it's a Socratic exercise
00:56:41.140 which I think
00:56:41.780 I think that leads
00:56:42.980 to the
00:56:43.360 the broadness
00:56:45.320 of his appeal
00:56:45.860 it's also as well
00:56:47.420 I think
00:56:47.800 you know
00:56:48.140 thinking
00:56:50.320 for yourself
00:56:51.620 and challenging
00:56:52.660 narratives
00:56:53.200 and developing
00:56:54.200 your own points
00:56:54.960 of view
00:56:55.400 is going to
00:56:56.580 ostracise you
00:56:57.380 from certain people
00:56:58.320 it just is
00:56:59.800 and I think
00:57:00.860 people are really
00:57:01.420 scared of that
00:57:02.020 Richard
00:57:02.300 because we're
00:57:02.920 fundamentally tribal
00:57:03.900 we want to be
00:57:05.160 around people
00:57:05.760 we want to be
00:57:06.480 accepted
00:57:06.860 I mean you get
00:57:07.420 the odd person
00:57:08.180 who's like
00:57:08.460 I don't care
00:57:08.980 and they're fine
00:57:09.920 with it
00:57:10.180 but I think
00:57:10.560 the majority
00:57:11.040 of us
00:57:11.560 just want
00:57:12.240 our tribe
00:57:13.020 we crave it
00:57:14.740 yeah yeah
00:57:15.320 definitely
00:57:15.720 so there is
00:57:16.400 a there's a
00:57:17.340 biological instinct
00:57:18.380 towards
00:57:19.240 conforming
00:57:21.200 and I think
00:57:21.800 I think that's
00:57:23.400 one of the things
00:57:23.940 that is hard
00:57:24.980 to identify
00:57:26.000 in a moment
00:57:26.780 of polarisation
00:57:27.700 because you say
00:57:28.100 well polarisation
00:57:28.840 is a real problem
00:57:29.500 but it's the
00:57:30.380 conformist element
00:57:31.300 to it
00:57:31.700 that kind of
00:57:32.300 frightens me
00:57:32.920 and it depresses me
00:57:33.880 if I'm being
00:57:34.260 really honest
00:57:34.880 I find it
00:57:35.920 quite depressing
00:57:36.500 to see how
00:57:37.300 quickly people
00:57:38.180 will throw
00:57:38.580 themselves into
00:57:39.240 conformity
00:57:39.780 with the party
00:57:41.200 line
00:57:41.480 whatever it is
00:57:42.140 we're all
00:57:42.920 going to believe
00:57:43.660 this
00:57:44.400 and I'm going
00:57:45.620 to be very
00:57:46.280 predictable
00:57:46.820 on all my
00:57:47.720 answers to
00:57:48.280 everything
00:57:48.740 without thought
00:57:49.960 that just
00:57:51.440 that's not
00:57:52.440 philosophy
00:57:53.020 that's ideology
00:57:54.560 something is
00:57:55.580 thinking for you
00:57:56.400 it's like you've
00:57:56.840 got a brain
00:57:57.340 parasite that's
00:57:58.180 just doing the
00:57:59.060 thinking for you
00:57:59.760 I find that
00:58:02.200 depressing
00:58:02.660 I think because
00:58:04.440 of how willingly
00:58:05.760 people have given
00:58:06.600 up their
00:58:07.520 their sovereignty
00:58:09.040 in that sense
00:58:09.880 like it's just
00:58:10.400 too hard to think
00:58:11.300 the world
00:58:11.960 maybe it's
00:58:12.440 something like
00:58:12.840 this
00:58:13.040 the world's
00:58:13.760 become too
00:58:14.160 complicated
00:58:14.700 I can't
00:58:15.920 think
00:58:16.300 so think
00:58:17.160 for me
00:58:17.620 and I'll
00:58:18.220 just chant
00:58:18.940 whatever you
00:58:19.440 tell me to
00:58:19.920 chant
00:58:20.240 just absolve
00:58:21.420 me of the
00:58:21.860 need to
00:58:22.260 think it
00:58:22.660 through for
00:58:22.960 myself
00:58:23.300 and it has
00:58:23.920 become very
00:58:24.420 complicated
00:58:24.980 hasn't it
00:58:25.500 I mean
00:58:26.200 if you think
00:58:27.380 about almost
00:58:27.880 any issue
00:58:28.380 I mean
00:58:28.700 climate change
00:58:29.380 is a good
00:58:29.720 example of
00:58:30.280 this
00:58:30.420 I don't
00:58:31.380 imagine
00:58:31.720 among your
00:58:32.280 many talents
00:58:32.880 you're a
00:58:33.180 climate scientist
00:58:33.880 neither of
00:58:34.960 us is
00:58:35.360 so when
00:58:36.840 you're presented
00:58:37.560 with a
00:58:40.200 certain world
00:58:40.860 view about
00:58:41.280 that issue
00:58:41.780 and you
00:58:42.920 are
00:58:43.060 it's not
00:58:43.380 just a
00:58:43.680 world view
00:58:44.200 you are
00:58:44.620 told that
00:58:45.080 there are
00:58:45.360 certain things
00:58:45.860 that must
00:58:46.140 be done
00:58:46.540 as a result
00:58:47.740 yes
00:58:48.140 and then
00:58:49.860 on top of
00:58:50.360 that you
00:58:50.840 go well
00:58:51.240 I don't
00:58:51.800 know what's
00:58:52.160 going on
00:58:52.540 I'm not
00:58:53.220 an expert
00:58:53.600 in this
00:58:53.940 area
00:58:54.180 I'm told
00:58:55.000 that we
00:58:55.180 have to
00:58:55.420 do these
00:58:55.680 pretty
00:58:55.900 drastic
00:58:56.320 things
00:58:56.860 and if
00:58:59.020 I don't
00:58:59.820 want to
00:59:00.160 do them
00:59:00.480 or if
00:59:00.820 I don't
00:59:01.480 necessarily
00:59:02.040 believe this
00:59:02.700 or if
00:59:03.000 I have
00:59:03.220 questions
00:59:03.620 about this
00:59:04.100 or whatever
00:59:04.800 then I'm
00:59:05.520 a bad
00:59:05.800 person
00:59:06.180 and in
00:59:07.680 that
00:59:07.860 situation
00:59:08.300 I think
00:59:08.640 for a lot
00:59:09.020 of people
00:59:09.360 the temptation
00:59:09.960 is to
00:59:10.380 just go
00:59:10.840 well this
00:59:11.500 is what
00:59:11.840 we're being
00:59:12.200 told
00:59:12.540 then that's
00:59:13.440 what we
00:59:13.640 must do
00:59:14.080 which
00:59:16.020 look
00:59:16.440 and this
00:59:16.900 is kind
00:59:17.180 of the
00:59:17.360 point
00:59:17.560 is there's
00:59:18.080 a hundred
00:59:18.380 other issues
00:59:18.900 like that
00:59:19.260 you know
00:59:19.440 we've got
00:59:19.960 strikes in
00:59:20.480 this country
00:59:20.860 are they a
00:59:21.360 good thing
00:59:21.740 or a bad
00:59:22.120 thing
00:59:22.360 I don't
00:59:23.740 know
00:59:23.920 do you
00:59:24.620 does anyone
00:59:25.220 you know
00:59:26.140 you can have
00:59:27.300 a view
00:59:27.860 on it
00:59:28.180 but do you
00:59:28.720 know
00:59:29.000 no
00:59:29.380 and you
00:59:30.540 know
00:59:30.620 is
00:59:30.900 technology
00:59:31.860 good or
00:59:32.300 bad
00:59:32.540 the way
00:59:33.040 that it's
00:59:33.380 changing
00:59:33.680 at the
00:59:33.920 moment
00:59:34.180 it's got
00:59:34.660 lots of
00:59:34.980 positives
00:59:35.300 do you
00:59:36.380 give your
00:59:36.680 kid a
00:59:36.940 mobile phone
00:59:37.500 all of
00:59:39.000 these
00:59:39.180 questions
00:59:39.840 are really
00:59:40.380 really
00:59:40.600 complicated
00:59:41.140 and
00:59:42.820 I think
00:59:44.160 that a lot
00:59:45.160 of the
00:59:45.420 stuff that
00:59:45.840 we talk
00:59:46.260 about on
00:59:46.580 the show
00:59:46.820 a lot
00:59:47.040 of the
00:59:47.260 stuff
00:59:47.420 that people
00:59:47.760 who watch
00:59:48.140 our show
00:59:48.460 are dealing
00:59:48.840 with
00:59:49.100 is the
00:59:49.820 fact
00:59:50.060 as you
00:59:50.340 say
00:59:50.460 the world
00:59:50.840 is getting
00:59:51.180 very
00:59:51.480 complicated
00:59:51.960 very
00:59:52.240 quickly
00:59:52.580 and maybe
00:59:53.620 then
00:59:53.960 there is
00:59:54.980 a need
00:59:55.320 to learn
00:59:56.060 to think
00:59:56.620 that becomes
00:59:57.660 quite urgent
00:59:58.260 because we
00:59:59.460 can ask
00:59:59.860 questions
01:00:00.320 upstream of
01:00:01.040 the questions
01:00:01.480 you've just
01:00:01.920 asked
01:00:02.260 which would
01:00:02.700 be what
01:00:03.060 is good
01:00:03.400 what is
01:00:03.740 bad
01:00:04.020 like if
01:00:04.700 you say
01:00:04.940 strikes
01:00:05.260 are bad
01:00:05.760 what's
01:00:06.440 the bad
01:00:06.800 why
01:00:07.460 and when
01:00:08.380 we say
01:00:08.640 it's good
01:00:09.100 why is
01:00:09.580 something
01:00:09.800 good
01:00:10.160 you probably
01:00:11.340 do need
01:00:11.920 that
01:00:12.180 because
01:00:12.800 the larger
01:00:13.820 and more
01:00:14.640 existential
01:00:15.260 and more
01:00:15.780 complex
01:00:16.260 the problem
01:00:16.680 is
01:00:16.880 the more
01:00:17.300 likely
01:00:17.620 it is
01:00:17.920 to induce
01:00:18.300 submission
01:00:18.700 in the
01:00:18.960 person
01:00:19.260 who's
01:00:19.440 facing it
01:00:19.960 the climate
01:00:21.240 change
01:00:21.620 one
01:00:21.780 I find
01:00:22.360 mind
01:00:23.140 boggling
01:00:23.560 I'm
01:00:25.040 presented
01:00:25.400 with data
01:00:25.940 and I'm
01:00:26.380 told it's
01:00:26.860 absolutely
01:00:27.360 necessary
01:00:27.980 that we
01:00:28.360 must do
01:00:28.820 these things
01:00:29.360 off the
01:00:29.620 back of
01:00:29.920 that data
01:00:30.400 and I
01:00:31.200 think it's
01:00:31.940 unlikely
01:00:32.640 that you
01:00:33.120 can be
01:00:33.540 certain
01:00:34.100 based on
01:00:35.060 this data
01:00:35.460 that these
01:00:35.980 are the
01:00:36.200 things
01:00:36.440 that are
01:00:36.680 going to
01:00:36.880 help
01:00:37.120 or that
01:00:37.480 these
01:00:37.660 are the
01:00:37.840 things
01:00:38.020 that are
01:00:38.260 even
01:00:38.400 going to
01:00:38.600 correlate
01:00:38.920 with it
01:00:39.360 correlation
01:00:39.960 isn't
01:00:40.440 necessarily
01:00:40.880 causation
01:00:41.500 as we
01:00:41.780 know
01:00:41.940 so
01:00:42.240 yeah
01:00:43.080 the climate
01:00:43.720 change
01:00:44.040 one
01:00:44.200 is
01:00:44.320 interesting
01:00:44.720 well
01:00:45.020 even if
01:00:45.460 you accept
01:00:45.960 climate
01:00:46.320 change
01:00:46.640 is
01:00:46.760 happening
01:00:47.080 and you
01:00:47.440 think
01:00:47.660 it's
01:00:47.840 a major
01:00:48.220 urgent
01:00:48.640 issue
01:00:49.000 the thing
01:00:49.740 that I
01:00:50.020 find very
01:00:50.460 strange
01:00:50.940 is that
01:00:51.700 as I
01:00:52.540 said
01:00:52.860 in this
01:00:53.640 country
01:00:53.880 we produce
01:00:54.460 2%
01:00:54.980 of all
01:00:55.480 global
01:00:56.040 CO2
01:00:57.040 emissions
01:00:57.440 so even
01:00:58.180 if we
01:00:58.480 never
01:00:58.800 burn
01:00:59.340 never
01:01:00.020 released
01:01:00.360 another
01:01:00.600 molecule
01:01:01.040 of CO2
01:01:01.500 in the
01:01:01.700 atmosphere
01:01:01.920 it would
01:01:02.120 make no
01:01:02.700 difference
01:01:03.040 to climate
01:01:03.440 change
01:01:03.780 and yet
01:01:04.580 we are
01:01:04.880 told that
01:01:05.260 we must
01:01:05.540 kill
01:01:05.800 thousands
01:01:06.240 of pensioners
01:01:07.040 with cold
01:01:08.500 every winter
01:01:10.160 and now
01:01:13.800 I'm a bad
01:01:15.280 person
01:01:15.640 I don't
01:01:16.620 want to
01:01:16.780 be a bad
01:01:17.140 person
01:01:17.480 I don't
01:01:18.060 want to
01:01:18.240 be asking
01:01:18.660 the wrong
01:01:19.080 question
01:01:19.260 but it
01:01:19.820 seems obvious
01:01:20.480 to me
01:01:20.880 that the
01:01:21.980 solution
01:01:22.360 doesn't
01:01:22.740 match
01:01:23.000 the problem
01:01:23.740 doesn't
01:01:24.660 solve the
01:01:25.300 problem
01:01:25.560 doesn't
01:01:25.880 address
01:01:26.240 the problem
01:01:26.740 and the
01:01:27.900 solution
01:01:28.240 that we
01:01:28.580 are being
01:01:29.300 told we
01:01:29.860 must
01:01:30.100 implement
01:01:30.500 is hurting
01:01:31.500 a lot
01:01:31.800 of people
01:01:32.160 and will
01:01:32.600 continue
01:01:32.960 to hurt
01:01:33.300 lots of
01:01:33.580 people
01:01:33.820 net zero
01:01:34.660 will kill
01:01:35.540 lots of
01:01:36.420 people
01:01:36.720 there's no
01:01:37.460 question about
01:01:38.060 that
01:01:38.220 that's a
01:01:38.540 fact
01:01:38.840 so even
01:01:40.460 if you
01:01:40.740 think climate
01:01:41.220 change is
01:01:41.680 urgent and
01:01:42.220 a massive
01:01:42.540 problem
01:01:43.000 why are we
01:01:44.200 being offered
01:01:44.700 a solution
01:01:45.280 that doesn't
01:01:45.940 solve it
01:01:46.580 and kills
01:01:47.120 lots of
01:01:47.500 people
01:01:47.780 and why
01:01:48.440 am I a
01:01:48.860 bad person
01:01:49.340 for asking
01:01:49.760 the question
01:01:50.080 and then
01:01:50.360 you go
01:01:50.660 well
01:01:50.980 how do I
01:01:52.400 think about
01:01:52.900 this now
01:01:53.320 maybe the
01:01:54.520 problem is
01:01:55.020 that we
01:01:55.300 have a
01:01:56.300 top heavy
01:01:56.940 population
01:01:57.740 with too
01:01:58.240 many old
01:01:58.740 people
01:01:59.160 and the
01:02:00.000 whole
01:02:00.220 maybe they're
01:02:02.600 just trying
01:02:02.940 to find
01:02:03.220 solutions
01:02:03.720 to other
01:02:03.980 problems
01:02:04.380 masked
01:02:05.000 I don't
01:02:05.620 know
01:02:05.900 you know
01:02:06.860 that's where
01:02:07.700 my brain
01:02:08.140 goes to
01:02:08.620 I have a
01:02:09.360 perverse
01:02:09.780 mind
01:02:10.140 and I
01:02:10.400 think maybe
01:02:10.760 there's another
01:02:11.240 problem here
01:02:11.940 behind the
01:02:12.560 problem
01:02:12.900 and the
01:02:13.560 solution
01:02:13.960 what we
01:02:14.360 should look
01:02:14.660 at is the
01:02:15.060 solution
01:02:15.500 and what the
01:02:16.320 solution does
01:02:17.000 and start
01:02:17.640 questioning
01:02:18.080 is that
01:02:18.940 the point
01:02:19.580 that's
01:02:20.000 interesting
01:02:20.340 I don't
01:02:21.140 think about
01:02:22.320 it that
01:02:22.580 way
01:02:22.800 my thinking
01:02:23.740 is
01:02:24.160 I think
01:02:25.120 that
01:02:25.460 it's
01:02:27.640 actually the
01:02:28.140 other thing
01:02:28.520 that you
01:02:28.780 said
01:02:29.060 which is
01:02:29.700 there is
01:02:30.660 and Michael
01:02:31.140 Schellenberger
01:02:31.660 I don't know
01:02:32.200 if you read
01:02:32.540 his sub stack
01:02:33.280 is very good
01:02:34.040 on this
01:02:34.360 there is
01:02:35.840 a particular
01:02:36.480 world view
01:02:37.480 that you
01:02:38.260 described earlier
01:02:39.060 which is
01:02:39.480 humans are
01:02:39.960 a virus
01:02:40.500 humans are
01:02:41.440 bad
01:02:41.860 humans are
01:02:42.900 this and
01:02:43.360 that
01:02:43.620 and so
01:02:44.560 it's not
01:02:45.380 just we
01:02:45.860 must reduce
01:02:46.360 the population
01:02:46.960 which I think
01:02:47.440 is what you're
01:02:47.820 hinting at
01:02:48.160 I think it's
01:02:49.060 much more
01:02:49.680 basic than
01:02:50.440 that which
01:02:50.900 is we
01:02:51.960 must be
01:02:52.260 punished
01:02:52.600 we must
01:02:53.880 punish
01:02:54.240 ourselves
01:02:54.740 for the
01:02:55.680 terrible
01:02:56.060 harm
01:02:56.360 that I
01:02:57.520 fully
01:02:58.040 support
01:02:58.440 look
01:02:58.700 who started
01:03:00.320 the industrial
01:03:00.860 revolution
01:03:01.440 humans
01:03:02.460 we did
01:03:03.060 well it's not
01:03:03.580 just humans
01:03:04.020 it's western
01:03:04.560 humans
01:03:04.960 the worst
01:03:06.080 humans
01:03:06.420 we did the
01:03:07.580 industrial
01:03:07.880 revolution
01:03:08.300 who did
01:03:08.640 colonialism
01:03:09.140 who did
01:03:09.740 racism
01:03:10.460 who did
01:03:10.860 slavery
01:03:11.240 I mean
01:03:11.500 actually
01:03:11.740 everyone did
01:03:12.180 we'll skip
01:03:12.940 over that
01:03:13.280 but
01:03:13.420 who done
01:03:14.680 a racism
01:03:15.180 obviously
01:03:17.440 you know
01:03:17.920 no one
01:03:18.260 anywhere else
01:03:18.840 in the world
01:03:19.180 is in
01:03:19.420 any way
01:03:19.720 racist
01:03:20.020 we know
01:03:20.320 that
01:03:20.520 who's
01:03:22.540 caused
01:03:23.280 all these
01:03:24.000 great problems
01:03:24.580 that we're
01:03:24.900 now dealing
01:03:25.820 with
01:03:26.180 well let's
01:03:27.440 ignore the
01:03:27.820 fact that
01:03:28.160 China and
01:03:28.540 India are
01:03:28.880 going to
01:03:29.100 build a
01:03:29.420 coal power
01:03:29.780 station every
01:03:30.340 two days
01:03:30.760 well let's
01:03:32.860 look at
01:03:33.120 ourselves
01:03:33.480 Richard
01:03:33.780 let's look
01:03:34.580 deep into
01:03:35.120 our soul
01:03:35.540 and realise
01:03:35.920 we have
01:03:36.960 sinned
01:03:37.840 we have
01:03:38.280 sinned
01:03:38.560 and we
01:03:38.780 must atone
01:03:39.340 and I
01:03:39.940 think actually
01:03:40.640 quite a lot
01:03:41.340 of it is
01:03:41.700 coming from
01:03:42.140 that
01:03:42.380 that's why
01:03:43.880 the ordinary
01:03:44.500 person sort
01:03:46.000 of buys
01:03:46.400 into it
01:03:46.920 quite often
01:03:47.460 I think so
01:03:48.880 I agree
01:03:49.300 with you
01:03:49.560 I think
01:03:49.940 there is
01:03:50.260 undoubtedly
01:03:51.820 a religious
01:03:52.420 impulse to
01:03:53.060 this
01:03:53.320 like it is
01:03:54.040 sin
01:03:54.300 and there
01:03:54.980 must be
01:03:55.580 some sort
01:03:56.100 of penance
01:03:56.600 that is
01:03:56.920 paid
01:03:57.300 again it
01:03:59.160 seems like
01:03:59.640 a super
01:04:00.820 low resolution
01:04:01.720 proposition
01:04:02.360 and it's
01:04:04.620 weirdly
01:04:05.000 racist via
01:04:07.040 the back
01:04:07.440 door
01:04:07.720 because if
01:04:08.700 what it's
01:04:10.340 saying is
01:04:10.820 well
01:04:11.960 I don't
01:04:12.900 want to
01:04:13.040 get in
01:04:13.240 trouble
01:04:13.480 ah fuck
01:04:14.020 it
01:04:14.160 white people
01:04:15.320 white western
01:04:16.640 people are
01:04:17.460 the only
01:04:18.000 people powerful
01:04:18.920 enough to
01:04:19.720 hurt this
01:04:20.160 world
01:04:20.480 they're terribly
01:04:22.000 evil
01:04:22.340 they're the
01:04:22.760 most evil
01:04:23.440 and therefore
01:04:24.240 they're the
01:04:24.760 best at
01:04:25.680 being evil
01:04:26.240 it's still
01:04:27.140 a white
01:04:27.480 supremacism
01:04:28.200 but it's
01:04:29.920 like this
01:04:31.860 is where
01:04:32.240 Slavoj
01:04:32.680 Zizek when
01:04:33.200 he talks
01:04:33.640 about this
01:04:34.060 he gets
01:04:34.380 into trouble
01:04:34.880 where he's
01:04:35.300 like no
01:04:35.660 I want
01:04:36.260 Native
01:04:37.000 Americans
01:04:37.520 to be
01:04:38.080 able to
01:04:38.540 be evil
01:04:39.420 I want
01:04:40.060 them to
01:04:40.280 be able
01:04:40.660 to embrace
01:04:41.260 their capacity
01:04:41.920 for genocide
01:04:42.480 and torture
01:04:43.220 or Africans
01:04:44.540 or whoever
01:04:45.620 the minority
01:04:46.800 group is
01:04:47.400 because if
01:04:48.640 we own
01:04:50.020 evil
01:04:50.480 if we
01:04:51.040 colonize
01:04:51.580 evil
01:04:51.800 and make
01:04:52.100 it only
01:04:52.480 our own
01:04:52.980 thing
01:04:53.360 it's still
01:04:54.680 it can still
01:04:56.000 be a passive
01:04:56.620 flex
01:04:57.200 we're the
01:04:58.040 ones who
01:04:58.440 did this
01:04:58.900 you see
01:04:59.200 all this
01:04:59.600 terrible
01:05:00.120 we did
01:05:00.700 this
01:05:01.020 because we
01:05:01.840 were the
01:05:02.100 only
01:05:02.320 whilst you
01:05:03.180 were in
01:05:04.260 alignment
01:05:04.780 with nature
01:05:05.500 and being
01:05:06.940 one with the
01:05:07.780 earth
01:05:08.120 very nice
01:05:08.880 you noble
01:05:09.320 savages
01:05:09.740 we were the
01:05:10.580 ones who
01:05:11.060 did all this
01:05:11.520 damage
01:05:11.840 it's still
01:05:12.480 a kind of
01:05:12.920 a weird
01:05:13.200 flex
01:05:13.580 in a way
01:05:14.140 so yeah
01:05:15.800 I don't
01:05:16.420 buy it
01:05:17.360 I just
01:05:17.920 think
01:05:18.640 yeah
01:05:19.080 and it's
01:05:19.540 the whole
01:05:20.240 white guilt
01:05:20.780 thing
01:05:21.220 like come
01:05:23.080 on
01:05:23.320 it's racism
01:05:24.280 it's fundamentally
01:05:25.240 racism
01:05:25.920 you can't
01:05:27.920 you can't
01:05:28.620 escape that
01:05:29.440 structurally
01:05:30.560 you can't be
01:05:31.360 racist against
01:05:32.000 white people
01:05:33.260 whatever
01:05:34.080 but like
01:05:34.700 it's
01:05:35.200 ethnocentrism
01:05:35.960 we can at
01:05:36.440 least say that
01:05:36.920 it just doesn't
01:05:38.040 make sense
01:05:38.500 and it's a form
01:05:39.220 of narcissism
01:05:39.940 as well
01:05:40.320 100%
01:05:41.160 100%
01:05:42.180 yeah
01:05:42.700 yeah it's
01:05:43.560 mirror gazing
01:05:44.120 it's absolutely
01:05:44.900 mirror gazing
01:05:45.620 and it is
01:05:47.300 like all
01:05:48.080 narcissism
01:05:48.760 it's rooted
01:05:49.440 in a delusional
01:05:50.580 fantasy narrative
01:05:52.240 that deviates
01:05:53.640 from reality
01:05:54.320 because
01:05:54.800 reality is
01:05:56.180 too traumatic
01:05:56.740 reality
01:05:57.500 you know
01:05:58.200 when people
01:05:58.640 when children
01:05:59.140 develop
01:05:59.560 narcissistic
01:06:00.220 personality
01:06:00.640 disorder
01:06:01.040 it's because
01:06:01.480 they're raised
01:06:01.960 in environments
01:06:02.520 that are far
01:06:02.960 too traumatic
01:06:03.520 for them to deal
01:06:04.140 with
01:06:04.360 so they go
01:06:05.060 for the
01:06:05.260 infantile
01:06:05.700 defence
01:06:06.200 this is
01:06:07.040 an infantile
01:06:07.720 defence
01:06:08.120 to a
01:06:08.460 traumatic
01:06:08.780 reality
01:06:09.600 and we
01:06:12.480 are a
01:06:12.840 society
01:06:13.240 that
01:06:13.600 embraces
01:06:14.880 infantile
01:06:16.180 behaviour
01:06:16.620 we encourage
01:06:17.700 it
01:06:17.960 yeah
01:06:18.280 now
01:06:19.780 now more
01:06:20.500 than
01:06:20.800 now more
01:06:22.120 than ever
01:06:22.440 before
01:06:22.860 that's why
01:06:23.560 I think
01:06:24.220 there's a fear
01:06:25.660 of adulthood
01:06:26.220 there's a fear
01:06:27.000 of responsibility
01:06:27.660 and you know
01:06:28.920 to be fair
01:06:29.780 it's harder
01:06:30.920 than ever before
01:06:31.820 economically
01:06:32.320 it's harder
01:06:32.880 to be an adult
01:06:33.540 you know
01:06:33.980 we're not
01:06:34.440 this is
01:06:35.040 than ever before
01:06:35.840 than two
01:06:37.400 I see
01:06:37.920 you've bought
01:06:38.220 the leftist
01:06:38.660 bullshit man
01:06:39.280 it's harder
01:06:39.880 than 200 years
01:06:40.760 ago
01:06:41.060 200 years
01:06:42.860 ago
01:06:43.080 you'd be
01:06:43.440 sleeping
01:06:43.880 in a factory
01:06:44.520 your wife
01:06:44.980 would be
01:06:45.240 sleeping
01:06:45.540 in another
01:06:46.000 part of
01:06:46.360 the factory
01:06:46.840 you know
01:06:47.720 what I mean
01:06:48.040 can we make
01:06:52.440 comparisons
01:06:53.020 today to
01:06:53.500 200 years
01:06:54.080 ago
01:06:54.400 yeah
01:06:55.660 okay
01:06:56.180 you got me
01:06:57.440 there
01:06:57.780 do you see
01:06:58.660 what I mean
01:06:59.060 I do
01:07:00.120 I'm not trying
01:07:00.560 to catch you
01:07:01.080 out
01:07:01.240 no no no
01:07:01.820 no but do
01:07:02.720 catch me
01:07:03.200 out
01:07:03.540 okay
01:07:03.860 because I want
01:07:04.780 to be caught
01:07:05.260 out
01:07:05.560 200 years
01:07:06.700 ago
01:07:06.900 people were
01:07:07.280 just breeding
01:07:07.680 like rabbits
01:07:08.340 because they
01:07:08.900 didn't
01:07:09.720 we were
01:07:10.200 ignorant
01:07:10.520 and we
01:07:11.500 didn't read
01:07:12.220 we would
01:07:12.640 just poke
01:07:13.100 each other
01:07:13.480 well forget
01:07:14.120 200 years
01:07:14.720 ago
01:07:14.860 compare yourself
01:07:15.480 to your
01:07:15.780 grandparents
01:07:16.240 is your
01:07:16.780 life easier
01:07:17.280 or harder
01:07:17.680 it's easy
01:07:18.580 it was easier
01:07:19.140 for them
01:07:19.580 it was more
01:07:20.160 rewarding for
01:07:20.820 them to become
01:07:21.320 adults
01:07:21.740 for my
01:07:22.280 grandparents
01:07:22.640 I am not
01:07:24.080 allowed to be
01:07:24.780 a masculine
01:07:25.400 I caught him
01:07:26.280 no but this is
01:07:27.720 great
01:07:27.960 Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
01:07:28.740 of the mind
01:07:29.280 I thought
01:07:29.920 I thought about
01:07:30.500 this yesterday
01:07:31.180 because I wondered
01:07:32.160 if this would
01:07:32.600 come up
01:07:33.020 for my
01:07:34.520 grandparents
01:07:35.040 let me present
01:07:36.180 let me present
01:07:36.700 it to you
01:07:37.120 1930
01:07:38.020 so
01:07:38.760 they had no
01:07:41.080 choice
01:07:41.500 they could only
01:07:42.400 they had a
01:07:43.240 potential marriage
01:07:44.180 pool of about
01:07:44.840 30 people
01:07:45.540 largely they had
01:07:46.540 to be in the
01:07:46.840 same geographical
01:07:47.400 location
01:07:48.020 my father
01:07:49.100 my grandfather
01:07:49.960 was a man
01:07:50.700 rewarded for being
01:07:51.600 a man
01:07:51.880 rewarded for his
01:07:52.600 masculinity
01:07:53.080 his masculinity
01:07:54.240 wasn't the
01:07:54.960 bloated
01:07:55.460 hyperbolic
01:07:56.380 cartoonish
01:07:56.960 masculinity
01:07:57.440 of steroids
01:07:58.120 and neck
01:07:58.560 tattoos
01:07:58.880 that we have
01:07:59.320 today
01:07:59.660 he was a
01:08:01.100 skinny little
01:08:01.760 dude
01:08:02.020 but he could
01:08:02.800 fix cars
01:08:04.360 he flew
01:08:05.380 planes for
01:08:05.980 the navy
01:08:06.660 he did up
01:08:07.580 houses
01:08:07.960 worked with
01:08:08.640 his hands
01:08:09.020 he was a
01:08:09.640 useful
01:08:10.000 providing man
01:08:10.920 my grandmother
01:08:11.700 was a woman
01:08:12.180 she was rewarded
01:08:12.840 for being a woman
01:08:13.440 she had women's
01:08:14.200 interests
01:08:14.680 she made
01:08:15.860 dresses
01:08:17.620 and did
01:08:18.380 hairdressing
01:08:18.880 for people
01:08:19.420 they were
01:08:20.940 rewarded by
01:08:21.620 their culture
01:08:22.220 for being a
01:08:23.360 man
01:08:23.500 for being a
01:08:23.960 woman
01:08:24.180 when they
01:08:25.120 got married
01:08:25.800 the greatest
01:08:26.640 stress of their
01:08:27.400 marriage
01:08:27.860 was that
01:08:28.300 she was
01:08:28.660 protestant
01:08:29.220 and he
01:08:29.500 was catholic
01:08:30.000 my goodness
01:08:30.780 could you
01:08:31.340 imagine
01:08:31.740 the scandal
01:08:33.160 then they
01:08:34.120 they went
01:08:35.640 to work
01:08:36.280 and they
01:08:36.760 could afford
01:08:37.160 to buy a
01:08:37.600 house
01:08:37.900 by the time
01:08:38.900 he was 35
01:08:39.620 he had three
01:08:40.440 of his four
01:08:40.920 children
01:08:41.320 and everyone
01:08:42.400 was on side
01:08:44.300 with him
01:08:44.680 doing that
01:08:45.280 a young man
01:08:46.520 today
01:08:46.920 so we go
01:08:47.720 back to
01:08:48.320 a young man
01:08:49.240 today
01:08:49.660 can't be a
01:08:50.400 man
01:08:50.600 can't be
01:08:51.200 masculine
01:08:51.640 can't chase
01:08:52.300 women
01:08:52.620 chasing women
01:08:53.480 is like
01:08:54.160 sexual assault
01:08:55.580 liking women
01:08:57.100 well that's
01:08:57.660 heteronormative
01:08:58.420 but come on
01:09:00.340 on this part
01:09:01.300 of it
01:09:01.520 you're exaggerating
01:09:02.340 a little bit
01:09:02.820 for tiny bit
01:09:04.600 it was easier
01:09:05.320 for them
01:09:05.860 to become
01:09:06.380 adults
01:09:06.780 was my
01:09:07.460 premise
01:09:08.340 I accept
01:09:09.220 the premise
01:09:09.840 I think you're
01:09:10.440 right
01:09:10.740 in that we
01:09:11.540 make adulthood
01:09:12.980 harder now
01:09:13.760 and people
01:09:14.320 fear it
01:09:14.880 for that reason
01:09:15.460 on the other
01:09:16.400 hand
01:09:16.740 and this is the
01:09:18.040 point I always
01:09:18.540 think about
01:09:19.060 take my
01:09:20.380 grandmother
01:09:20.780 she's
01:09:21.960 15 years
01:09:23.140 well
01:09:23.480 when she's
01:09:25.540 probably
01:09:28.040 about
01:09:28.280 seven
01:09:28.640 there's
01:09:29.780 a mass
01:09:30.500 famine
01:09:31.120 where she
01:09:32.300 lives
01:09:32.580 because the
01:09:33.120 government's
01:09:33.560 decided that
01:09:34.240 that's what
01:09:34.560 needs to
01:09:34.880 happen
01:09:35.120 and millions
01:09:35.760 of people
01:09:36.120 starve
01:09:36.560 she's
01:09:38.620 Ukrainian
01:09:38.940 yeah
01:09:39.300 the peasants
01:09:41.220 who happen
01:09:41.760 to have a
01:09:42.140 horse which
01:09:42.560 makes them
01:09:42.960 kulaks
01:09:43.440 rich peasants
01:09:44.080 so the
01:09:44.460 communists
01:09:44.820 come and
01:09:45.260 take their
01:09:45.840 horse and
01:09:46.300 deport them
01:09:46.740 to Siberia
01:09:47.440 they eventually
01:09:48.960 make their
01:09:49.460 way back
01:09:49.980 and within
01:09:51.780 a few years
01:09:52.720 Nazi Germany
01:09:53.920 invades
01:09:54.400 and there's
01:09:56.120 a holocaust
01:09:56.700 happening
01:09:57.140 that involves
01:09:58.120 a lot of
01:09:58.580 the area
01:09:58.900 millions of
01:09:59.740 people killed
01:10:00.360 people go
01:10:01.340 off to war
01:10:01.880 and are
01:10:02.420 murdered
01:10:02.740 and whatever
01:10:03.200 and my
01:10:03.540 grandmother
01:10:03.900 I've told
01:10:04.580 this story
01:10:04.920 before
01:10:05.280 she and her
01:10:06.120 girlfriends
01:10:06.460 the main
01:10:06.880 conversation
01:10:07.400 they had
01:10:07.900 when the
01:10:08.460 war ended
01:10:08.920 was will
01:10:09.680 we ever
01:10:10.080 taste real
01:10:10.700 bread again
01:10:11.240 that's how
01:10:12.040 they lived
01:10:12.540 maybe it
01:10:17.940 was easier
01:10:18.260 for her
01:10:18.620 to become
01:10:19.720 an adult
01:10:20.120 but would
01:10:21.040 I trade
01:10:21.440 places
01:10:21.980 that's a
01:10:24.180 that's a
01:10:24.640 slightly
01:10:25.060 different
01:10:25.340 question
01:10:25.660 you're
01:10:26.680 sort of
01:10:26.920 saying
01:10:27.100 was life
01:10:27.700 easier
01:10:28.100 before
01:10:28.300 yes
01:10:28.780 but given
01:10:29.780 that you've
01:10:30.220 made that
01:10:30.540 point
01:10:30.800 I would
01:10:31.220 like to
01:10:31.540 moderate
01:10:31.900 my
01:10:32.220 premise
01:10:32.720 and say
01:10:33.260 there are
01:10:33.680 more barriers
01:10:34.400 to adulthood
01:10:34.960 now
01:10:35.280 there would
01:10:35.740 be no
01:10:36.220 barriers
01:10:36.640 to adulthood
01:10:37.080 before
01:10:37.480 there's
01:10:37.940 also more
01:10:38.360 rewards
01:10:38.720 for the
01:10:38.960 remaining
01:10:39.260 infantile
01:10:39.880 yeah
01:10:41.480 there's
01:10:41.960 more
01:10:42.160 rewards
01:10:42.520 there's
01:10:43.760 more rewards
01:10:44.240 you know
01:10:45.080 what are
01:10:45.820 the rewards
01:10:46.300 of remaining
01:10:46.840 infantile
01:10:47.220 one of
01:10:47.780 them is
01:10:48.020 you don't
01:10:48.360 have to
01:10:48.720 take
01:10:48.920 responsibility
01:10:49.560 and people
01:10:50.640 will not
01:10:51.180 look down
01:10:51.720 upon you
01:10:52.100 for doing
01:10:52.460 it
01:10:52.620 this is
01:10:53.340 one of
01:10:53.600 the things
01:10:53.880 that happens
01:10:54.420 when you
01:10:54.700 abolish the
01:10:55.180 concept of
01:10:55.700 shame
01:10:55.980 which is
01:10:56.600 a very
01:10:56.800 useful
01:10:57.080 concept
01:10:57.620 shame
01:10:58.500 was a way
01:10:59.100 society
01:10:59.560 regulated
01:11:00.220 people
01:11:00.660 he wants
01:11:01.240 people to
01:11:01.560 have kids
01:11:02.000 and he wants
01:11:02.400 to bring
01:11:02.660 back shame
01:11:03.120 he's fully
01:11:04.120 formed
01:11:04.500 right wing
01:11:04.820 I've become
01:11:05.340 fully right
01:11:05.820 wing
01:11:05.980 I 1000%
01:11:09.400 agree with
01:11:09.820 you
01:11:09.960 it's just
01:11:10.420 that society
01:11:11.000 has moved
01:11:11.280 so far
01:11:11.760 in other
01:11:12.000 directions
01:11:12.520 that people
01:11:12.980 who want
01:11:13.660 society
01:11:14.040 to still
01:11:14.400 function
01:11:14.740 are right
01:11:15.140 wing
01:11:15.380 essentially
01:11:16.000 right
01:11:16.280 but
01:11:16.700 am I
01:11:19.420 wrong
01:11:19.720 from where
01:11:21.380 I sit
01:11:21.800 here today
01:11:22.340 it's hard
01:11:23.060 for me
01:11:23.360 to argue
01:11:23.860 that
01:11:24.140 I don't
01:11:24.880 want to be
01:11:25.140 sitting here
01:11:25.540 saying this
01:11:26.000 because
01:11:26.240 politically
01:11:26.800 I'm not
01:11:27.320 right wing
01:11:27.780 but on a
01:11:28.340 practical
01:11:29.000 it's like
01:11:29.500 well it's
01:11:30.960 like vote
01:11:31.380 left
01:11:31.680 live right
01:11:32.180 this is
01:11:32.580 what they
01:11:32.880 always say
01:11:33.360 this is
01:11:33.800 what they
01:11:34.060 say about
01:11:34.660 middle class
01:11:35.580 people in
01:11:35.980 this country
01:11:36.380 a lot of
01:11:37.060 them will
01:11:37.360 vote left
01:11:38.080 but if you
01:11:38.740 look at how
01:11:39.120 they live
01:11:39.560 their actual
01:11:40.080 life
01:11:40.400 they're right
01:11:40.820 wing
01:11:41.060 you know
01:11:41.940 they take
01:11:42.540 responsibility
01:11:43.080 they teach
01:11:43.720 their kids
01:11:44.080 to take
01:11:44.420 responsibility
01:11:44.700 all of this
01:11:45.220 other shit
01:11:45.580 right
01:11:45.780 so my point
01:11:46.520 is about
01:11:46.860 shame
01:11:47.280 is
01:11:47.780 shame
01:11:49.980 is the
01:11:50.840 society's
01:11:51.660 mechanism
01:11:52.020 of enforcing
01:11:52.880 a certain
01:11:53.280 set of
01:11:53.640 rules
01:11:53.920 right
01:11:54.360 you take
01:11:55.120 you take
01:11:55.140 that away
01:11:55.740 you say
01:11:56.320 there is
01:11:57.000 no
01:11:57.340 there's
01:11:58.080 no problem
01:11:59.000 with being
01:11:59.440 massively
01:11:59.840 overweight
01:12:00.240 we must
01:12:00.680 not shame
01:12:01.360 people for
01:12:01.980 that
01:12:02.120 and
01:12:02.780 emotionally
01:12:03.780 I agree
01:12:04.460 with that
01:12:04.760 I don't
01:12:05.060 want to
01:12:05.300 shame
01:12:05.620 anyone
01:12:05.960 I don't
01:12:06.660 want to
01:12:06.860 make people
01:12:07.280 feel bad
01:12:07.860 about a
01:12:08.920 condition
01:12:09.460 that they
01:12:09.960 can't deal
01:12:10.520 with
01:12:11.260 right
01:12:11.480 you don't
01:12:12.520 have to
01:12:12.720 go to
01:12:13.740 the gym
01:12:14.000 you don't
01:12:14.280 have to
01:12:14.580 manage
01:12:14.840 your diet
01:12:15.220 these things
01:12:15.680 are difficult
01:12:16.240 they're
01:12:16.960 unpleasant
01:12:17.440 often
01:12:17.860 right
01:12:18.140 why don't
01:12:18.920 you
01:12:19.220 just
01:12:20.000 you know
01:12:20.320 be infantile
01:12:21.060 about it
01:12:21.480 go
01:12:21.700 this is
01:12:22.440 a thing
01:12:22.800 that's
01:12:23.060 happening
01:12:23.380 to me
01:12:23.960 and society
01:12:25.200 will go
01:12:25.680 oh poor
01:12:26.620 little you
01:12:27.280 or poor
01:12:28.000 big you
01:12:28.700 in this
01:12:28.980 case
01:12:29.240 right
01:12:29.660 and
01:12:31.180 poor sweating
01:12:32.080 heavy breathing
01:12:32.720 you
01:12:33.060 exactly
01:12:33.840 diabetic
01:12:34.460 you
01:12:34.900 sounds like
01:12:35.860 a great
01:12:36.200 kids book
01:12:36.720 doesn't it
01:12:37.060 exactly
01:12:37.440 so
01:12:38.700 society
01:12:40.380 will reward
01:12:41.220 you for
01:12:41.600 that
01:12:41.900 and also
01:12:42.600 if you
01:12:43.340 want to
01:12:44.200 engage
01:12:44.580 in victimhood
01:12:45.340 you get
01:12:46.520 currency
01:12:46.960 you can
01:12:47.600 and more
01:12:48.460 importantly
01:12:48.900 than that
01:12:49.340 on social
01:12:49.740 media
01:12:50.040 you get
01:12:50.380 power
01:12:50.940 we love
01:12:52.820 a bit
01:12:53.060 of power
01:12:53.440 don't we
01:12:53.840 someone asked
01:12:57.580 me where
01:12:57.840 I'm really
01:12:58.120 from
01:12:58.440 I can
01:13:00.220 go and
01:13:00.620 do a
01:13:00.900 tour
01:13:01.100 of all
01:13:01.360 the
01:13:01.560 TV
01:13:02.220 studios
01:13:02.760 and explain
01:13:03.440 why
01:13:03.780 instead
01:13:04.160 of being
01:13:04.600 mature
01:13:05.520 about it
01:13:06.180 and going
01:13:06.600 this person
01:13:07.340 is probably
01:13:07.820 trying to
01:13:08.240 communicate
01:13:08.620 something
01:13:08.980 reasonable
01:13:09.440 let's find
01:13:09.960 out what
01:13:10.220 that is
01:13:10.480 let's have
01:13:10.800 a conversation
01:13:11.300 that's what
01:13:11.980 an adult
01:13:12.320 does
01:13:12.680 but infantile
01:13:14.320 behaviour
01:13:14.720 is rewarded
01:13:15.580 you're not
01:13:16.100 going to get
01:13:16.560 on TV
01:13:17.240 screens
01:13:17.680 if all
01:13:18.120 you say
01:13:18.520 is
01:13:18.780 someone
01:13:20.180 asked me
01:13:20.560 where I'm
01:13:20.760 really
01:13:20.920 from
01:13:21.280 I went
01:13:21.720 oh I'm
01:13:22.080 actually
01:13:22.280 from
01:13:22.500 and we
01:13:23.000 had a
01:13:23.220 nice
01:13:23.400 conversation
01:13:23.940 so you
01:13:24.880 reward that
01:13:25.540 as well
01:13:26.000 doesn't mean
01:13:27.260 I agree
01:13:28.240 with both
01:13:28.660 of you
01:13:28.980 yes
01:13:29.440 housing
01:13:30.260 crisis
01:13:30.660 big problem
01:13:31.440 that creates
01:13:33.740 challenges
01:13:34.200 and particularly
01:13:35.140 now
01:13:35.600 living standards
01:13:37.060 are probably
01:13:37.440 not going to
01:13:37.800 be getting
01:13:38.100 better
01:13:38.400 it's going
01:13:38.760 to be
01:13:38.960 a harder
01:13:39.340 time
01:13:39.620 for young
01:13:39.960 people
01:13:40.200 to find
01:13:40.600 a job
01:13:40.980 and so
01:13:41.340 on
01:13:41.460 so
01:13:41.640 these things
01:13:42.360 definitely
01:13:42.720 exist
01:13:43.140 but at
01:13:43.700 the end
01:13:43.960 of the
01:13:44.200 day
01:13:44.460 if we're
01:13:45.480 sitting here
01:13:45.840 talking about
01:13:46.360 it from
01:13:46.560 the point
01:13:46.900 of your
01:13:47.220 book
01:13:47.580 and the
01:13:48.260 conversation
01:13:48.700 we're having
01:13:50.560 there is no
01:13:51.900 other answer
01:13:52.440 is there
01:13:52.800 than personal
01:13:53.340 responsibility
01:13:53.980 whatever is
01:13:55.240 going on
01:13:56.300 I haven't
01:13:57.600 found one
01:13:58.020 there's no
01:13:58.660 other answer
01:13:59.140 that's sustainable
01:13:59.820 I think
01:14:00.840 I hope
01:14:02.200 I suspect
01:14:04.980 that this
01:14:05.540 I wish there
01:14:06.000 were
01:14:06.280 I don't
01:14:06.600 want to
01:14:06.820 even I
01:14:07.360 I'm someone
01:14:08.000 who's naturally
01:14:08.460 quite
01:14:08.780 I lean into
01:14:10.280 responsibility
01:14:10.840 I don't want
01:14:11.600 to take
01:14:11.860 responsibility
01:14:12.460 most of the
01:14:12.900 time
01:14:13.040 I don't
01:14:13.680 want to
01:14:13.920 think about
01:14:14.480 you know
01:14:14.940 we've got
01:14:15.520 this problem
01:14:15.960 with trigonometry
01:14:16.600 we need to
01:14:17.080 sort out
01:14:17.380 I've got
01:14:17.920 this problem
01:14:18.240 I wish
01:14:19.000 someone took
01:14:19.660 care of
01:14:20.180 all of that
01:14:20.460 for me
01:14:20.840 but I
01:14:21.260 haven't
01:14:21.600 found
01:14:22.000 a system
01:14:23.380 that I've
01:14:23.960 been able
01:14:24.340 to make
01:14:24.980 make things
01:14:26.540 happen for
01:14:27.160 me
01:14:27.400 maybe that's
01:14:28.540 what I need
01:14:28.820 to do
01:14:29.100 but I haven't
01:14:29.560 found it
01:14:30.040 so the only
01:14:30.800 answer I'm
01:14:31.480 seeing is
01:14:32.040 you go
01:14:32.920 what's working
01:14:33.840 cool let's
01:14:34.500 do more of
01:14:35.000 that
01:14:35.180 what's not
01:14:35.780 working
01:14:36.180 let's not
01:14:37.340 do as much
01:14:37.820 of that
01:14:38.120 and learn
01:14:38.920 and grow
01:14:39.260 over time
01:14:39.760 and make
01:14:40.160 mistakes
01:14:40.620 and pay
01:14:41.180 for them
01:14:41.580 pay for
01:14:42.840 mistakes
01:14:43.540 in expensive
01:14:44.500 ways
01:14:44.900 and learn
01:14:45.440 right
01:14:45.740 I don't see
01:14:46.760 any other
01:14:47.080 answer
01:14:47.400 do you
01:14:47.800 no I
01:14:49.240 don't
01:14:49.580 but as
01:14:50.980 you were
01:14:51.400 talking
01:14:51.700 there
01:14:52.020 it worries
01:14:52.580 me
01:14:52.900 because you
01:14:53.380 said
01:14:53.700 what you
01:14:55.180 just said
01:14:55.700 was
01:14:56.020 vote left
01:14:57.320 live right
01:14:58.500 but then
01:14:59.740 aren't we
01:15:01.780 going to end
01:15:02.240 up
01:15:02.480 so in a
01:15:04.580 population of
01:15:05.300 people who
01:15:05.960 do that
01:15:06.380 there'll be
01:15:07.160 the majority
01:15:08.000 will vote
01:15:09.580 left
01:15:09.920 and live
01:15:10.660 left
01:15:10.980 and the
01:15:11.900 appeals to
01:15:12.340 authoritarianism
01:15:13.040 will continue
01:15:13.600 you're voting
01:15:15.980 for them
01:15:17.360 but you're
01:15:18.600 carrying the
01:15:19.180 burden
01:15:19.480 it's like that
01:15:20.060 John Galt
01:15:20.760 I'm not
01:15:22.180 voting for
01:15:22.740 them
01:15:23.000 right
01:15:23.740 but I'm
01:15:25.460 just saying
01:15:25.840 in terms of
01:15:26.280 my own
01:15:26.580 life
01:15:26.840 that is
01:15:27.420 the things
01:15:28.280 that I
01:15:28.620 have found
01:15:29.120 to work
01:15:29.860 as for the
01:15:30.660 way I
01:15:30.980 vote
01:15:31.300 look
01:15:32.460 I voted
01:15:33.840 Lib Dem
01:15:34.340 and Labour
01:15:34.740 all my
01:15:35.060 life
01:15:35.360 at the
01:15:35.900 last election
01:15:36.640 purely because
01:15:37.860 of Brexit
01:15:38.300 and I
01:15:38.700 thought
01:15:38.880 even though
01:15:39.840 I voted
01:15:40.180 Remain
01:15:40.600 the way
01:15:41.440 people
01:15:41.820 were treated
01:15:43.340 and the way
01:15:44.180 that issue
01:15:44.600 was treated
01:15:45.040 was just
01:15:45.640 completely
01:15:46.080 undemocratic
01:15:46.720 and that's
01:15:47.280 why I
01:15:47.640 voted
01:15:47.920 for the
01:15:48.560 Conservatives
01:15:49.040 because they
01:15:49.500 were the
01:15:49.720 only party
01:15:50.200 that promised
01:15:50.660 to implement
01:15:51.140 a decision
01:15:51.540 I didn't
01:15:51.880 vote for
01:15:52.340 but that's
01:15:53.020 what the
01:15:53.260 people voted
01:15:53.740 for and
01:15:54.100 that's why
01:15:54.520 right
01:15:54.780 so
01:15:55.400 has that
01:15:57.840 made a
01:15:58.120 big difference
01:15:58.720 I mean
01:15:59.060 probably not
01:15:59.640 right
01:15:59.900 the Conservative
01:16:01.340 Party
01:16:01.700 isn't the
01:16:02.100 party of
01:16:02.460 personal
01:16:02.720 responsibility
01:16:03.260 either
01:16:03.620 okay
01:16:06.060 so to
01:16:06.560 take
01:16:06.800 just a
01:16:07.300 slightly
01:16:07.580 different
01:16:07.960 tack
01:16:08.280 on that
01:16:09.360 I'm
01:16:10.560 just
01:16:10.700 wondering
01:16:11.040 now
01:16:11.760 if
01:16:12.220 being
01:16:12.820 reasonable
01:16:13.420 is
01:16:14.740 reaching
01:16:15.140 its
01:16:15.320 limits
01:16:15.560 like
01:16:15.860 you're
01:16:16.080 very
01:16:16.280 reasonable
01:16:16.640 you're
01:16:16.900 very
01:16:17.060 reasonable
01:16:17.440 maybe
01:16:17.920 it's
01:16:18.100 the
01:16:18.200 time
01:16:18.380 to be
01:16:18.620 unreasonable
01:16:19.020 if
01:16:20.180 your
01:16:20.360 enemies
01:16:20.740 are
01:16:20.920 not
01:16:21.080 reasonable
01:16:21.460 if
01:16:21.720 your
01:16:21.860 enemies
01:16:22.140 are
01:16:22.300 not
01:16:22.420 listening
01:16:22.740 to
01:16:22.980 you
01:16:23.220 should
01:16:23.820 you
01:16:23.960 continue
01:16:24.380 to be
01:16:24.800 reasonable
01:16:25.120 you've
01:16:25.380 got a
01:16:25.580 very
01:16:25.740 balanced
01:16:26.280 quite a
01:16:27.280 kind
01:16:27.640 approach
01:16:28.160 who are
01:16:28.640 my
01:16:28.760 enemies
01:16:29.100 though
01:16:29.380 who
01:16:29.980 are
01:16:30.160 your
01:16:30.300 enemies
01:16:30.620 I
01:16:31.080 don't
01:16:31.240 think
01:16:31.640 I
01:16:31.760 have
01:16:31.920 enemies
01:16:32.280 I
01:16:32.560 think
01:16:32.900 I
01:16:33.040 have
01:16:33.200 people
01:16:33.460 that
01:16:33.620 I
01:16:33.740 disagree
01:16:34.040 with
01:16:34.400 about
01:16:34.700 the
01:16:35.060 way
01:16:35.300 we
01:16:35.980 should
01:16:36.140 structure
01:16:36.540 society
01:16:37.080 but
01:16:37.300 they're
01:16:37.420 not
01:16:37.520 my
01:16:37.660 enemies
01:16:38.020 I
01:16:38.460 don't
01:16:38.600 think
01:16:38.860 I
01:16:39.520 think
01:16:39.880 to a
01:16:42.020 large
01:16:42.240 extent
01:16:42.640 the
01:16:43.040 Chinese
01:16:43.320 Communist
01:16:43.660 Party
01:16:44.080 and
01:16:44.900 the
01:16:45.260 Russian
01:16:45.500 dictatorship
01:16:46.120 they're
01:16:46.500 my
01:16:46.660 enemies
01:16:46.980 right
01:16:48.440 what
01:16:48.920 about
01:16:49.380 people
01:16:49.720 who
01:16:49.900 affect
01:16:50.260 your
01:16:50.800 child's
01:16:51.400 future
01:16:51.680 what
01:16:51.920 about
01:16:52.080 people
01:16:52.300 who
01:16:52.420 are
01:16:52.440 going
01:16:52.520 to
01:16:52.620 promote
01:16:53.000 transgender
01:16:53.600 resume
01:16:54.060 and
01:16:54.520 it's
01:16:54.780 my
01:16:54.960 job
01:16:55.120 to
01:16:55.300 protect
01:16:55.600 them
01:16:55.740 from
01:16:55.900 that
01:16:56.100 you
01:16:57.040 wouldn't
01:16:57.600 consider
01:16:57.960 those
01:16:58.180 people
01:16:58.380 your
01:16:58.540 enemies
01:16:58.820 no
01:16:59.220 I
01:17:00.200 don't
01:17:00.340 think
01:17:00.460 it's
01:17:00.620 a
01:17:00.700 healthy
01:17:00.920 way
01:17:01.160 to
01:17:01.300 do
01:17:01.460 that
01:17:01.680 they're
01:17:01.920 not
01:17:02.060 my
01:17:02.220 enemies
01:17:02.600 and
01:17:03.600 also
01:17:03.900 the
01:17:04.480 problem
01:17:04.760 is
01:17:04.980 I
01:17:05.620 can
01:17:06.700 buy
01:17:06.940 into
01:17:07.180 the
01:17:07.340 warrior
01:17:07.600 mindset
01:17:07.980 in
01:17:08.260 that
01:17:08.400 thing
01:17:09.160 except
01:17:09.760 we're
01:17:10.100 not
01:17:10.320 in
01:17:10.500 a
01:17:10.640 physical
01:17:10.940 war
01:17:11.320 like
01:17:11.920 if
01:17:12.280 you
01:17:12.420 said
01:17:12.640 to
01:17:12.800 me
01:17:12.980 there's
01:17:13.420 some
01:17:13.580 people
01:17:14.000 out
01:17:14.480 there
01:17:14.800 who
01:17:15.000 are
01:17:15.120 going
01:17:15.240 to
01:17:15.340 trans
01:17:15.660 your
01:17:15.840 kid
01:17:16.200 and
01:17:16.500 we
01:17:16.640 need
01:17:16.820 to
01:17:16.940 get
01:17:17.100 the
01:17:17.260 three
01:17:17.460 of
01:17:17.620 us
01:17:17.820 get
01:17:18.220 some
01:17:18.440 shields
01:17:18.820 and
01:17:19.060 swords
01:17:19.420 and
01:17:19.980 go
01:17:20.180 out
01:17:20.440 and
01:17:20.680 deal
01:17:20.900 with
01:17:21.100 them
01:17:21.300 and
01:17:21.480 if
01:17:21.600 we
01:17:21.720 do
01:17:21.860 that
01:17:22.080 the
01:17:22.240 problem
01:17:22.500 will
01:17:22.680 stop
01:17:23.080 sign
01:17:24.060 me
01:17:24.180 the
01:17:24.300 fuck
01:17:24.480 up
01:17:24.720 but
01:17:25.660 that
01:17:25.860 isn't
01:17:26.140 the
01:17:26.300 way
01:17:26.460 the
01:17:26.620 situation
01:17:27.060 is
01:17:27.420 me
01:17:27.960 and
01:17:28.200 you
01:17:28.400 and
01:17:28.560 Francis
01:17:28.980 putting
01:17:29.800 on
01:17:30.000 some
01:17:30.300 swords
01:17:30.700 and
01:17:30.880 shields
01:17:31.200 isn't
01:17:32.020 going to
01:17:32.360 solve
01:17:32.620 that
01:17:32.800 problem
01:17:33.160 that
01:17:34.060 problem
01:17:34.500 gets
01:17:34.780 solved
01:17:35.200 in
01:17:35.560 here
01:17:35.840 it
01:17:36.640 gets
01:17:36.840 solved
01:17:37.120 by
01:17:37.400 bringing
01:17:37.800 people
01:17:38.160 to
01:17:38.420 explain
01:17:38.780 Ollie
01:17:39.080 London
01:17:39.380 who
01:17:39.580 was
01:17:39.740 in
01:17:39.860 your
01:17:40.020 chair
01:17:40.320 a
01:17:40.500 week
01:17:40.640 ago
01:17:40.860 talking
01:17:41.200 about
01:17:41.520 how
01:17:41.720 he
01:17:41.840 spent
01:17:42.120 a
01:17:42.440 quarter
01:17:42.680 of
01:17:42.840 a
01:17:42.880 million
01:17:43.040 dollars
01:17:43.400 on
01:17:43.560 surgery
01:17:43.880 to
01:17:44.080 be
01:17:44.220 Korean
01:17:44.580 guess
01:17:45.360 what
01:17:45.540 found
01:17:45.780 out
01:17:45.940 he
01:17:46.040 wasn't
01:17:46.240 Korean
01:17:46.580 right
01:17:48.100 that's
01:17:49.280 potentially
01:17:50.280 how you
01:17:50.880 solve
01:17:51.120 it
01:17:51.220 you
01:17:51.380 talk
01:17:51.760 you
01:17:51.940 explain
01:17:52.420 you
01:17:52.600 persuade
01:17:53.080 now
01:17:54.320 is
01:17:55.200 someone
01:17:55.580 who
01:17:55.780 has
01:17:55.980 a
01:17:56.120 very
01:17:56.300 different
01:17:56.660 view
01:17:56.940 of
01:17:57.100 me
01:17:57.360 to
01:17:57.580 me
01:17:57.880 and
01:17:58.600 my
01:17:58.800 enemy
01:17:59.260 I
01:18:00.140 don't
01:18:00.460 think
01:18:00.640 that's
01:18:00.920 a
01:18:01.220 useful
01:18:01.700 way
01:18:02.000 if
01:18:02.240 I
01:18:02.380 thought
01:18:02.540 that
01:18:02.640 was
01:18:02.760 a
01:18:02.900 useful
01:18:03.200 way
01:18:03.420 of
01:18:03.520 looking
01:18:03.700 at
01:18:03.900 it
01:18:04.000 I
01:18:04.200 would
01:18:04.340 look
01:18:04.500 at
01:18:04.600 it
01:18:04.680 that
01:18:04.800 way
01:18:04.940 I
01:18:05.040 have
01:18:05.100 no
01:18:05.240 problem
01:18:05.520 with
01:18:05.700 fighting
01:18:06.020 for
01:18:06.340 things
01:18:06.560 I
01:18:06.680 believe
01:18:06.920 in
01:18:07.120 but
01:18:07.800 I
01:18:07.940 don't
01:18:08.320 think
01:18:08.560 that's
01:18:08.820 the
01:18:16.240 too
01:18:16.400 much
01:18:16.560 of
01:18:16.640 the
01:18:16.720 wrong
01:18:16.880 Kool-Aid
01:18:17.460 I
01:18:18.220 see
01:18:18.480 some
01:18:18.700 of
01:18:19.260 the
01:18:19.440 positions
01:18:20.280 adopted
01:18:20.800 especially
01:18:21.740 where
01:18:22.280 they
01:18:23.040 are
01:18:23.360 deliberate
01:18:23.820 outright
01:18:24.240 attacks
01:18:24.720 against
01:18:25.160 for example
01:18:25.880 the family
01:18:26.260 unit
01:18:26.640 and towards
01:18:27.960 the sexualisation
01:18:28.780 of children
01:18:29.320 I
01:18:31.960 view that
01:18:32.460 maybe I'm
01:18:33.680 becoming
01:18:34.040 a little
01:18:34.700 more polarised
01:18:35.380 a little
01:18:35.560 more extreme
01:18:35.980 I see them
01:18:36.520 as enemies
01:18:37.760 and perhaps
01:18:38.540 you're right
01:18:38.860 I shouldn't
01:18:39.900 and even
01:18:41.160 if they
01:18:41.480 are
01:18:41.660 perhaps
01:18:42.000 the
01:18:42.200 weapon
01:18:42.460 to deal
01:18:42.840 with that
01:18:43.140 is still
01:18:43.480 reasoned
01:18:43.960 debate
01:18:44.260 no matter
01:18:44.620 whether I
01:18:45.020 see them
01:18:45.320 as enemies
01:18:45.960 or not
01:18:46.360 I
01:18:46.640 think
01:18:46.820 most
01:18:47.120 people
01:18:47.580 and I
01:18:48.400 think
01:18:48.620 it's
01:18:48.860 important
01:18:49.200 for every
01:18:49.680 single
01:18:49.960 person
01:18:50.280 in this
01:18:50.540 room
01:18:50.740 every
01:18:51.040 single
01:18:51.300 person
01:18:51.620 who is
01:18:51.860 watching
01:18:52.180 and
01:18:52.380 listening
01:18:52.640 to
01:18:52.860 this
01:18:53.100 to
01:18:53.860 really
01:18:54.380 understand
01:18:55.460 this
01:18:55.820 and
01:18:56.040 accept
01:18:56.420 this
01:18:56.780 most
01:18:58.660 people
01:18:59.160 are not
01:18:59.700 bad
01:18:59.960 people
01:19:00.240 most
01:19:00.480 people
01:19:00.720 are
01:19:00.860 fundamentally
01:19:01.320 good
01:19:01.700 they
01:19:01.940 just
01:19:02.220 as we
01:19:02.900 have
01:19:03.080 said
01:19:03.340 before
01:19:03.580 they
01:19:03.760 just
01:19:03.940 don't
01:19:04.240 think
01:19:04.560 enough
01:19:04.780 about
01:19:05.000 long-term
01:19:05.480 consequences
01:19:06.220 when it
01:19:06.660 comes to
01:19:07.000 certain
01:19:07.240 things
01:19:07.620 particularly
01:19:08.500 like
01:19:08.820 transgenderism
01:19:09.560 they
01:19:09.700 get fed
01:19:10.120 a
01:19:10.240 narrative
01:19:10.580 and they
01:19:11.660 believe
01:19:12.100 that
01:19:12.420 narrative
01:19:12.800 and
01:19:13.000 then
01:19:13.140 they
01:19:13.280 regurgitate
01:19:13.840 that
01:19:14.160 narrative
01:19:14.520 I
01:19:14.840 think
01:19:15.020 the
01:19:15.160 problem
01:19:15.380 is
01:19:15.620 if
01:19:15.760 we
01:19:15.880 start
01:19:16.200 putting
01:19:16.840 it
01:19:17.060 and
01:19:17.240 having
01:19:17.500 the
01:19:17.660 mindset
01:19:18.020 of
01:19:18.260 people
01:19:18.480 being
01:19:18.740 enemies
01:19:19.320 I
01:19:20.520 don't
01:19:20.720 think
01:19:21.020 we're
01:19:21.220 going
01:19:21.320 to
01:19:22.280 the
01:19:22.520 chance
01:19:23.780 of
01:19:24.040 us
01:19:24.300 healing
01:19:24.860 society
01:19:25.560 is
01:19:26.360 going
01:19:26.500 to
01:19:26.580 become
01:19:26.940 ever
01:19:27.380 lower
01:19:27.700 as a
01:19:28.440 result
01:19:28.720 of
01:19:28.880 having
01:19:29.080 that
01:19:29.280 mindset
01:19:29.640 I
01:19:30.080 think
01:19:30.380 the
01:19:30.640 best
01:19:31.180 thing
01:19:31.320 that
01:19:31.440 we
01:19:31.540 can
01:19:31.700 all
01:19:31.960 do
01:19:32.200 is
01:19:33.220 try
01:19:33.500 and
01:19:33.600 be
01:19:33.720 the
01:19:33.900 adults
01:19:34.240 in
01:19:34.440 the
01:19:34.560 room
01:19:34.740 which
01:19:35.100 is
01:19:35.260 to
01:19:35.400 model
01:19:35.600 good
01:19:35.840 behavior
01:19:36.300 because
01:19:37.500 even
01:19:37.780 when
01:19:38.040 somebody
01:19:38.380 has
01:19:38.600 a
01:19:38.740 great
01:19:39.000 point
01:19:39.300 somebody
01:19:39.580 could
01:19:39.840 have
01:19:40.160 a
01:19:40.300 great
01:19:40.520 point
01:19:40.860 but
01:19:41.320 the
01:19:41.440 moment
01:19:41.620 they
01:19:41.780 lose
01:19:42.100 their
01:19:42.280 temper
01:19:42.560 the
01:19:42.740 moment
01:19:43.020 they
01:19:43.520 start
01:19:43.980 indulging
01:19:45.060 in
01:19:45.240 tactics
01:19:45.680 that
01:19:45.960 their
01:19:46.700 aggressor
01:19:47.220 is
01:19:47.360 using
01:19:47.800 immediately
01:19:49.020 their
01:19:49.940 status
01:19:51.480 goes
01:19:51.840 down
01:19:52.120 immediately
01:19:52.680 you
01:19:53.260 start
01:19:53.660 to
01:19:54.020 have
01:19:55.320 less
01:19:55.600 empathy
01:19:55.940 for
01:19:56.180 them
01:19:56.320 I
01:19:56.840 think
01:19:57.020 it's
01:19:57.220 just
01:19:57.380 really
01:19:57.860 important
01:19:58.420 that
01:19:58.780 we
01:19:59.640 try
01:19:59.960 and
01:20:00.160 moderate
01:20:00.460 our
01:20:00.840 language
01:20:01.180 and
01:20:01.480 our
01:20:01.640 behavior
01:20:02.020 as
01:20:02.340 difficult
01:20:02.820 as
01:20:03.140 it
01:20:03.260 is
01:20:03.480 and
01:20:03.640 I'm
01:20:03.760 not
01:20:03.900 saying
01:20:04.200 it's
01:20:04.420 easy
01:20:04.760 because
01:20:06.200 it
01:20:06.340 really
01:20:06.600 isn't
01:20:06.940 no
01:20:07.140 it's
01:20:07.340 hard
01:20:07.660 it's
01:20:08.060 hard
01:20:08.240 so
01:20:08.400 the
01:20:08.560 solution
01:20:08.880 would
01:20:09.100 be
01:20:09.240 to
01:20:09.380 be
01:20:09.560 aggressively
01:20:10.160 reasonable
01:20:10.760 well
01:20:11.600 I
01:20:11.960 actually
01:20:12.360 think
01:20:12.580 you're
01:20:12.760 right
01:20:12.980 yeah
01:20:13.420 and
01:20:13.760 this
01:20:13.960 is
01:20:14.360 absolutely
01:20:15.000 but
01:20:15.540 this
01:20:16.080 is
01:20:16.260 interesting
01:20:16.620 to me
01:20:16.980 because
01:20:17.400 I
01:20:17.960 was
01:20:18.100 talking
01:20:18.300 to
01:20:18.460 somebody
01:20:18.640 I
01:20:18.760 don't
01:20:18.860 want
01:20:18.960 to
01:20:19.060 name
01:20:19.260 them
01:20:19.420 because
01:20:19.600 about
01:20:20.720 some
01:20:21.160 of
01:20:21.280 this
01:20:21.420 identity
01:20:21.940 stuff
01:20:22.500 and
01:20:23.620 they
01:20:24.440 were
01:20:24.580 saying
01:20:24.820 well
01:20:25.100 the
01:20:25.500 thing
01:20:25.700 is
01:20:25.900 I
01:20:26.020 don't
01:20:26.200 really
01:20:26.380 want
01:20:26.560 to
01:20:26.660 say
01:20:26.880 this
01:20:27.120 thing
01:20:27.400 because
01:20:27.560 then
01:20:27.740 people
01:20:30.300 won't
01:20:30.600 hear
01:20:30.840 it
01:20:31.000 the
01:20:31.160 same
01:20:31.420 and
01:20:32.000 I
01:20:32.120 actually
01:20:32.380 think
01:20:32.720 one
01:20:32.960 of
01:20:33.080 the
01:20:33.200 refreshing
01:20:33.640 things
01:20:33.900 one
01:20:34.060 of
01:20:34.140 the
01:20:34.220 reasons
01:20:34.420 people
01:20:34.980 do
01:20:35.260 watch
01:20:35.740 trigonometry
01:20:36.660 or
01:20:37.040 watch
01:20:37.520 you
01:20:37.740 or
01:20:37.940 whatever
01:20:38.220 is
01:20:38.520 we
01:20:39.200 try
01:20:39.500 to
01:20:39.700 say
01:20:39.920 things
01:20:40.240 as
01:20:40.400 they
01:20:40.600 are
01:20:40.940 without
01:20:41.400 going
01:20:41.860 past
01:20:42.360 that
01:20:42.680 and
01:20:42.980 embellishing
01:20:43.760 them
01:20:44.020 too
01:20:44.340 much
01:20:44.660 do
01:20:45.360 you
01:20:45.420 know
01:20:45.500 what
01:20:45.580 I
01:20:45.660 mean
01:20:45.800 and
01:20:46.300 so
01:20:46.580 I
01:20:47.600 agree
01:20:47.900 with
01:20:48.100 you
01:20:48.240 for
01:20:48.480 example
01:20:48.920 that
01:20:49.300 the
01:20:49.540 idea
01:20:49.980 that
01:20:50.260 why
01:20:50.500 people
01:20:50.780 are
01:20:50.960 uniquely
01:20:51.300 evil
01:20:51.720 and
01:20:51.920 inherently
01:20:52.380 bad
01:20:52.800 is
01:20:53.260 racist
01:20:53.860 right
01:20:54.280 but
01:20:55.020 I
01:20:55.760 also
01:20:56.100 don't
01:20:56.500 think
01:20:56.800 that
01:20:57.020 we
01:20:57.200 live
01:20:57.420 in
01:20:57.540 a
01:20:57.660 society
01:20:58.180 in
01:20:58.680 which
01:20:58.900 is
01:20:59.060 like
01:20:59.340 you
01:20:59.740 know
01:20:59.880 white
01:21:00.260 people
01:21:00.540 are
01:21:00.660 the
01:21:00.780 most
01:21:01.000 oppressed
01:21:01.340 people
01:21:01.660 ever
01:21:01.980 which
01:21:02.780 you
01:21:02.900 didn't
01:21:03.140 say
01:21:03.420 but
01:21:04.540 there
01:21:04.940 are
01:21:05.060 some
01:21:05.240 people
01:21:05.480 who
01:21:05.680 think
01:21:05.920 that
01:21:06.140 way
01:21:06.300 if
01:21:06.740 you
01:21:06.840 made
01:21:07.580 it
01:21:07.680 a
01:21:07.800 priority
01:21:08.280 that
01:21:08.540 would
01:21:08.660 be
01:21:08.780 a
01:21:08.900 mistake
01:21:09.380 it's
01:21:09.840 not
01:21:09.980 a
01:21:10.120 priority
01:21:10.480 exactly
01:21:10.900 so
01:21:11.860 the
01:21:12.080 thing
01:21:12.280 needs
01:21:12.580 to
01:21:12.760 be
01:21:12.980 identified
01:21:13.580 and
01:21:14.080 described
01:21:14.580 accurately
01:21:15.180 without
01:21:15.900 going
01:21:17.260 overboard
01:21:18.080 and without
01:21:18.600 being
01:21:19.160 unreasonable
01:21:20.300 about it
01:21:20.900 in that
01:21:21.320 way
01:21:21.540 so
01:21:22.080 I
01:21:22.320 think
01:21:22.620 being
01:21:23.240 determined
01:21:23.800 and
01:21:24.220 being
01:21:24.520 unwilling
01:21:25.080 to
01:21:25.460 compromise
01:21:26.100 are
01:21:26.580 important
01:21:27.040 on
01:21:27.680 language
01:21:28.340 and
01:21:28.660 certain
01:21:28.860 things
01:21:29.160 but
01:21:29.700 I
01:21:30.060 think
01:21:30.340 the
01:21:30.640 enemy
01:21:30.960 language
01:21:31.400 is
01:21:31.740 possibly
01:21:33.080 not
01:21:33.440 unless
01:21:34.260 you're
01:21:34.900 literally
01:21:35.220 in a
01:21:35.460 physical
01:21:35.700 fight
01:21:35.940 in which
01:21:36.180 case
01:21:36.440 absolutely
01:21:37.260 you switch
01:21:37.900 the warrior
01:21:38.260 on
01:21:38.540 maybe
01:21:39.480 that's
01:21:39.960 the
01:21:41.140 linguistic
01:21:41.580 term
01:21:41.980 of
01:21:42.120 enemies
01:21:42.580 is
01:21:42.920 what
01:21:43.380 is
01:21:43.540 guiding
01:21:43.900 us
01:21:44.100 towards
01:21:44.360 a
01:21:44.500 path
01:21:44.700 that
01:21:44.820 looks
01:21:45.020 like
01:21:45.180 it's
01:21:45.300 going
01:21:45.400 to
01:21:45.440 lead
01:21:45.600 towards
01:21:45.820 civil
01:21:46.060 war
01:21:46.320 because
01:21:46.680 we're
01:21:46.880 talking
01:21:47.100 about
01:21:47.320 our
01:21:47.500 fellow
01:21:47.740 countrymen
01:21:49.720 and in
01:21:50.620 America
01:21:50.880 it's
01:21:51.060 the same
01:21:51.400 thing
01:21:51.640 it's
01:21:51.840 that same
01:21:52.280 pathway
01:21:52.660 it's
01:21:52.960 the
01:21:53.120 internal
01:21:53.620 fight
01:21:54.020 and
01:21:55.180 maybe
01:21:55.460 that
01:21:55.780 isn't
01:21:56.300 the
01:21:56.440 way
01:21:56.620 you
01:21:57.040 said
01:21:57.340 something
01:21:57.880 interesting
01:21:58.340 Francis
01:21:58.700 you implied
01:22:00.140 that the
01:22:00.600 end goal
01:22:01.260 was to
01:22:01.800 heal the
01:22:02.260 rift
01:22:02.580 yeah
01:22:03.200 it's
01:22:03.600 got to
01:22:03.800 be
01:22:04.000 people
01:22:04.960 aren't
01:22:05.160 saying
01:22:05.440 that
01:22:05.860 and they're
01:22:06.960 not
01:22:07.060 thinking
01:22:07.380 that
01:22:07.700 and they're
01:22:07.960 not
01:22:08.080 moving
01:22:08.380 in that
01:22:08.580 direction
01:22:08.980 so that
01:22:09.360 would be
01:22:09.620 another
01:22:09.800 element
01:22:10.120 of it
01:22:10.460 would be
01:22:10.820 say
01:22:11.060 reasonable
01:22:11.420 and also
01:22:11.860 have that
01:22:12.220 as an
01:22:12.420 objective
01:22:12.800 which is
01:22:13.460 we're
01:22:13.940 actually
01:22:14.120 trying to
01:22:14.460 heal
01:22:14.680 I think
01:22:15.080 it's
01:22:15.320 very
01:22:15.640 absolutely
01:22:16.440 stated
01:22:17.080 in absolute
01:22:18.580 terms
01:22:19.140 and you
01:22:19.960 know
01:22:20.060 I've been
01:22:20.500 reading a lot
01:22:21.000 of Tom
01:22:21.280 Soul lately
01:22:21.880 and this
01:22:22.840 is one of
01:22:23.260 the things
01:22:23.540 you get
01:22:23.920 is you
01:22:24.440 kind of
01:22:24.700 get
01:22:24.860 there's
01:22:25.100 no
01:22:25.260 solutions
01:22:25.800 only
01:22:26.340 trade-offs
01:22:26.860 so I
01:22:28.480 think
01:22:28.900 what we're
01:22:29.560 talking about
01:22:30.040 is not
01:22:30.420 to heal
01:22:31.100 society
01:22:31.640 because I
01:22:31.960 don't think
01:22:32.140 that's
01:22:32.300 possible
01:22:32.660 people will
01:22:33.300 always
01:22:33.540 disagree
01:22:34.020 temperamentally
01:22:35.060 genetically
01:22:35.800 they have
01:22:36.380 predispositions
01:22:37.120 that make
01:22:37.480 them different
01:22:37.940 it's about
01:22:39.080 the way
01:22:39.880 we have
01:22:40.380 the conversation
01:22:41.200 about our
01:22:41.940 disagreements
01:22:42.560 right
01:22:43.320 and does
01:22:44.180 that
01:22:44.340 does it
01:22:44.700 have to
01:22:45.200 descend
01:22:45.920 into
01:22:46.240 personal
01:22:46.940 animosity
01:22:47.700 at every
01:22:48.400 opportunity
01:22:48.920 and we're
01:22:49.760 all
01:22:49.920 I am as
01:22:50.680 guilty of
01:22:51.200 that as
01:22:51.520 anybody
01:22:51.860 you know
01:22:52.440 trolling
01:22:52.800 someone
01:22:53.100 online
01:22:53.520 or calling
01:22:54.180 Sadiq Khan
01:22:54.860 a tyrannical
01:22:56.180 dwarf
01:22:56.560 which he is
01:22:57.360 you know
01:22:57.920 but still
01:22:58.780 right
01:22:59.160 it's the
01:23:00.660 tone of the
01:23:01.200 conversation
01:23:01.680 I think
01:23:02.220 rather than
01:23:02.720 you're never
01:23:03.060 going to
01:23:03.360 heal society
01:23:04.220 but I think
01:23:04.840 if you
01:23:05.400 improve the
01:23:05.980 way we
01:23:06.320 communicate
01:23:06.720 that in
01:23:07.340 itself
01:23:07.660 would do
01:23:08.380 some
01:23:08.600 healing
01:23:08.880 I don't
01:23:09.820 mean to
01:23:10.100 get religious
01:23:10.600 here but
01:23:11.100 I will
01:23:11.840 nevertheless
01:23:12.480 it's when
01:23:13.960 Jesus was
01:23:14.720 nailed to
01:23:15.780 a cross
01:23:16.260 and he
01:23:17.080 said the
01:23:17.400 words
01:23:17.580 forgive them
01:23:18.140 Lord for
01:23:18.560 they know
01:23:18.900 not what
01:23:19.300 they do
01:23:19.740 and I
01:23:20.800 think if
01:23:22.080 you have
01:23:22.420 that attitude
01:23:23.380 to a lot
01:23:23.980 of people
01:23:24.380 who you
01:23:24.660 disagree with
01:23:25.320 to a lot
01:23:25.740 of people
01:23:26.060 there's always
01:23:26.640 a small
01:23:27.000 minority who are
01:23:27.680 malevolent and
01:23:28.320 spiteful
01:23:28.820 but I
01:23:30.000 think with
01:23:30.320 most people
01:23:30.980 they just
01:23:31.520 don't consider
01:23:32.320 the long
01:23:32.720 term
01:23:32.900 consequences
01:23:33.520 of their
01:23:33.940 actions
01:23:34.380 and I
01:23:35.400 think if
01:23:35.980 you approach
01:23:36.860 them with
01:23:37.160 compassion
01:23:37.660 and with
01:23:37.960 understanding
01:23:38.540 you might
01:23:39.640 not change
01:23:40.180 their mind
01:23:40.680 but you
01:23:41.680 might take
01:23:42.240 a step
01:23:42.720 to some
01:23:43.440 type of
01:23:44.020 reconciliation
01:23:44.580 here's where I
01:23:46.100 will agree with
01:23:46.680 you though in
01:23:47.180 addition to what
01:23:47.800 Francis said
01:23:48.420 and I agree
01:23:49.020 with both of
01:23:49.500 you actually
01:23:49.680 I think
01:23:50.180 it's what
01:23:51.020 we're talking
01:23:51.500 here as
01:23:52.120 well is
01:23:52.680 it's about
01:23:53.820 concept
01:23:54.380 creep
01:23:54.700 there are
01:23:55.100 some people
01:23:55.700 who you
01:23:56.480 will meet
01:23:56.860 in a bar
01:23:57.360 and you
01:23:58.740 need to
01:23:59.080 stay the
01:23:59.440 fuck away
01:23:59.880 from them
01:24:00.360 and there
01:24:01.780 are other
01:24:02.160 people
01:24:02.540 who you
01:24:03.120 could get
01:24:03.700 into
01:24:04.080 some kind
01:24:04.640 of
01:24:04.860 altercation
01:24:05.520 with
01:24:05.840 if you
01:24:06.560 said the
01:24:06.920 wrong
01:24:07.100 thing
01:24:07.380 and you
01:24:07.900 bumped
01:24:08.240 their
01:24:08.500 elbow
01:24:09.120 as they're
01:24:09.580 bringing
01:24:09.880 their
01:24:10.060 point
01:24:10.240 over
01:24:10.460 and I
01:24:11.120 think
01:24:11.240 it's
01:24:11.380 learning
01:24:11.680 to tell
01:24:12.080 the
01:24:12.220 difference
01:24:12.540 and I
01:24:12.800 think
01:24:12.900 what
01:24:13.040 social
01:24:13.360 media
01:24:13.660 has
01:24:13.880 done
01:24:14.120 is
01:24:14.660 it's
01:24:14.960 made
01:24:15.400 everyone
01:24:16.300 an avatar
01:24:17.720 for the
01:24:18.340 guy you
01:24:18.700 need to
01:24:19.000 stay away
01:24:19.440 from
01:24:19.800 that's
01:24:21.220 why I
01:24:21.560 think
01:24:21.820 you use
01:24:22.220 a term
01:24:22.500 enemy
01:24:22.820 because
01:24:23.140 there's
01:24:23.660 a small
01:24:23.920 minority
01:24:24.340 of people
01:24:24.760 who are
01:24:25.320 absolutely
01:24:25.840 evil
01:24:26.260 and are
01:24:26.660 up to
01:24:26.980 no good
01:24:27.340 and they're
01:24:27.700 deliberate
01:24:28.020 about it
01:24:28.620 but I
01:24:29.480 think they
01:24:30.060 are a
01:24:30.400 very small
01:24:30.880 minority
01:24:31.380 who need
01:24:32.040 to be
01:24:32.280 dealt
01:24:32.480 with
01:24:32.780 but I
01:24:34.740 think the
01:24:35.080 way to
01:24:35.380 deal with
01:24:35.680 them is to
01:24:36.000 persuade
01:24:36.280 everybody
01:24:36.660 else that
01:24:37.080 they're
01:24:37.340 unreasonable
01:24:37.760 and we
01:24:38.300 are the
01:24:38.540 reasonable
01:24:38.800 majority
01:24:39.360 and you
01:24:41.080 can only
01:24:41.420 really do
01:24:42.020 that by
01:24:43.320 more
01:24:43.960 reasoned
01:24:44.940 debate
01:24:45.240 that's it
01:24:45.680 isn't it
01:24:46.000 there's
01:24:46.500 nothing else
01:24:46.980 than that
01:24:47.340 I think
01:24:47.720 so
01:24:48.000 unless you've
01:24:48.920 got something
01:24:49.300 up your
01:24:49.600 sleeve
01:24:49.860 I really
01:24:50.920 don't
01:24:51.260 I've got
01:24:52.580 nothing
01:24:52.860 there's
01:24:53.120 nothing
01:24:53.320 there
01:24:53.620 and also
01:24:54.360 you know
01:24:54.880 I mean
01:24:55.620 again
01:24:55.880 it's kind
01:24:56.380 of like
01:24:56.640 but be
01:24:57.180 that change
01:24:57.720 that you
01:24:57.980 want to
01:24:58.260 see in
01:24:58.520 the world
01:24:58.840 if you
01:24:59.220 see a
01:24:59.580 world
01:24:59.780 that is
01:25:00.080 descending
01:25:00.440 into chaos
01:25:01.040 and disorder
01:25:01.720 and people
01:25:02.700 being
01:25:03.120 dysregulated
01:25:04.320 and not
01:25:05.120 taking
01:25:05.420 responsibility
01:25:06.040 then be
01:25:07.280 that person
01:25:07.820 who does
01:25:08.180 take
01:25:08.400 responsibility
01:25:09.000 be that
01:25:10.100 person
01:25:10.500 who is
01:25:10.980 in control
01:25:12.120 not that
01:25:12.780 we're always
01:25:13.220 in control
01:25:13.640 of our
01:25:13.880 emotions
01:25:14.220 because we're
01:25:14.720 not because
01:25:15.080 we're humans
01:25:15.540 but doing
01:25:16.340 their best to
01:25:16.960 control their
01:25:17.500 emotions
01:25:17.920 to be
01:25:18.360 reasonable
01:25:18.820 to be
01:25:19.260 that adult
01:25:19.800 in the
01:25:20.120 room
01:25:20.320 to be
01:25:21.120 that person
01:25:21.860 who is a
01:25:22.420 counterpoint
01:25:23.020 to that
01:25:23.340 behaviour
01:25:23.760 and say
01:25:24.840 no
01:25:25.140 if you think
01:25:26.140 about the
01:25:26.440 best teachers
01:25:27.000 that you
01:25:27.260 ever had
01:25:27.780 in your
01:25:28.100 education
01:25:28.600 they weren't
01:25:29.020 the ones
01:25:29.300 who ranted
01:25:29.720 and raved
01:25:30.240 they weren't
01:25:31.240 the ones
01:25:31.720 who went
01:25:33.220 the other
01:25:33.560 way
01:25:33.760 and just
01:25:34.080 indulged
01:25:34.600 you
01:25:34.740 and let
01:25:35.000 this class
01:25:35.460 from
01:25:35.600 descending
01:25:35.940 to chaos
01:25:36.460 they're
01:25:37.220 they're
01:25:37.240 the ones
01:25:37.580 who came
01:25:37.980 in
01:25:38.200 who set
01:25:38.960 an example
01:25:39.620 who
01:25:41.000 every day
01:25:41.720 did their
01:25:42.180 best
01:25:42.540 and you
01:25:43.100 remember
01:25:43.420 them
01:25:43.660 because they
01:25:44.400 set an
01:25:44.760 example
01:25:45.200 not the
01:25:46.240 two other
01:25:46.660 polar opposites
01:25:47.580 and that's
01:25:48.540 I think
01:25:49.020 what we all
01:25:49.560 need to be
01:25:50.140 and certainly
01:25:50.880 what I'm
01:25:51.420 trying to be
01:25:52.040 I may not
01:25:52.640 always get
01:25:53.100 there
01:25:53.340 a lot of
01:25:54.100 the time
01:25:54.420 I will fall
01:25:54.920 and I have
01:25:55.320 my own
01:25:55.640 demons
01:25:55.940 like we
01:25:56.260 all do
01:25:56.600 but I
01:25:57.300 think that's
01:25:58.020 the best
01:25:59.320 way to be
01:25:59.760 to try
01:26:00.340 and be
01:26:00.580 that person
01:26:01.200 to aspire
01:26:02.040 to that
01:26:02.500 it's
01:26:03.980 interesting
01:26:04.320 a lot
01:26:05.020 of that
01:26:05.300 it comes
01:26:06.700 back to
01:26:07.340 philosophy
01:26:08.020 which is
01:26:08.860 the Greek
01:26:10.200 philosophy
01:26:11.220 trying to
01:26:12.180 be virtuous
01:26:12.760 trying to
01:26:13.340 establish
01:26:13.740 what is
01:26:14.060 virtuous
01:26:14.440 and aiming
01:26:14.960 upward
01:26:15.400 rather than
01:26:16.160 allowing
01:26:16.560 yourself
01:26:16.860 to slide
01:26:17.360 downward
01:26:17.760 interesting
01:26:18.620 I think
01:26:19.280 the reason
01:26:20.260 that Francis
01:26:20.860 and I
01:26:21.160 are perhaps
01:26:21.440 quite preachy
01:26:22.120 about it
01:26:22.500 or we might
01:26:23.160 come across
01:26:23.640 that way
01:26:24.000 is doing
01:26:25.360 what we
01:26:25.820 do
01:26:26.220 if you
01:26:27.020 think about
01:26:27.540 the history
01:26:28.260 of trigonometry
01:26:28.800 and you've
01:26:29.180 dipped in
01:26:30.440 at different
01:26:30.840 points
01:26:31.260 is we
01:26:33.180 started out
01:26:34.240 talking about
01:26:35.900 everything that
01:26:36.600 was going
01:26:37.100 wrong with
01:26:37.460 the world
01:26:37.840 right
01:26:38.500 and we
01:26:39.580 needed to
01:26:40.040 do that
01:26:40.340 because we
01:26:40.760 needed to
01:26:41.160 understand
01:26:41.640 what was
01:26:42.040 going on
01:26:42.540 and we
01:26:43.000 had to
01:26:43.300 talk to
01:26:43.620 a lot
01:26:43.800 of people
01:26:44.120 and so
01:26:44.440 a lot
01:26:44.700 of our
01:26:44.980 conversations
01:26:45.560 were like
01:26:46.100 you know
01:26:46.300 Francis
01:26:46.600 but isn't
01:26:47.400 the problem
01:26:47.840 this and
01:26:48.320 me going
01:26:48.660 well what
01:26:48.980 that was
01:26:50.180 it
01:26:50.360 but now
01:26:51.320 as we
01:26:51.880 move further
01:26:52.480 I think
01:26:53.200 perhaps
01:26:54.640 as the show
01:26:55.480 grows and
01:26:56.020 more people
01:26:56.440 watch it
01:26:56.860 and whatever
01:26:57.160 we also
01:26:57.940 feel like
01:26:58.660 we're
01:27:00.820 no longer
01:27:01.300 bystanders
01:27:02.440 we're in
01:27:03.280 the game
01:27:03.740 now so to
01:27:04.480 speak
01:27:04.760 what we
01:27:05.500 do who
01:27:06.220 we invite
01:27:06.800 it has a
01:27:07.900 small ripple
01:27:08.400 it's just a
01:27:09.160 small little
01:27:09.600 ripple but it
01:27:10.420 has that
01:27:10.940 ripple and
01:27:11.800 we can't
01:27:12.340 pretend to
01:27:12.840 ourselves that
01:27:14.000 there isn't
01:27:14.660 that responsibility
01:27:15.400 on us and
01:27:16.060 so we're
01:27:16.740 really trying
01:27:17.700 to both
01:27:18.740 I think
01:27:19.180 be better
01:27:20.680 people so
01:27:22.000 that this
01:27:22.860 opportunity that
01:27:23.960 we have to
01:27:25.020 bring amazing
01:27:25.760 people like you
01:27:26.460 on and have a
01:27:27.120 discussion and
01:27:27.700 not let them
01:27:28.140 talk for the
01:27:28.600 last 20 minutes
01:27:29.160 but we're
01:27:32.580 genuinely trying
01:27:33.500 to be
01:27:34.380 constructive as
01:27:35.280 people and as
01:27:36.100 participants in
01:27:36.920 this world that
01:27:37.800 we live in
01:27:38.280 and think
01:27:39.080 less about
01:27:40.600 who is being
01:27:42.300 cancelled and
01:27:43.060 who hasn't been
01:27:43.740 allowed this and
01:27:44.600 that but
01:27:45.020 actually how do
01:27:46.700 we give
01:27:46.920 opportunities to
01:27:47.560 people how do
01:27:48.220 we create
01:27:48.820 things how do
01:27:49.500 rather than
01:27:50.940 being two
01:27:51.460 comedians to
01:27:52.020 set up a
01:27:52.420 podcast to
01:27:53.040 complain about
01:27:53.640 things that
01:27:53.980 need addressing
01:27:54.740 what are we
01:27:56.300 creating exactly
01:27:57.240 so you're
01:27:58.380 going from
01:27:58.600 being problems
01:27:59.200 focused to
01:27:59.920 very much
01:28:00.240 more solutions
01:28:00.840 focused
01:28:01.280 I think so
01:28:01.940 and also as
01:28:03.160 well and this
01:28:04.100 is a lot of
01:28:04.540 work that I'm
01:28:05.040 doing on myself
01:28:05.760 you know looking
01:28:07.360 at your own
01:28:07.880 shadow because
01:28:09.360 it's very easy
01:28:10.140 to look outwards
01:28:10.960 and point out
01:28:11.620 the flaws in
01:28:12.200 other people
01:28:12.780 and go this
01:28:13.400 person's like
01:28:14.020 this this
01:28:14.380 person's like
01:28:14.980 this yeah but
01:28:15.740 what about you
01:28:16.280 what about what
01:28:19.380 you bring to
01:28:19.900 the world is it
01:28:20.420 all good all
01:28:21.740 those are the
01:28:22.440 the element that
01:28:23.560 you have the
01:28:24.220 shadow within
01:28:24.780 yourself what
01:28:25.480 work are you
01:28:26.220 doing in order
01:28:27.620 to try and
01:28:28.720 keep that
01:28:29.100 shadow under
01:28:29.640 as much
01:28:30.100 control as
01:28:30.680 possible and
01:28:32.060 to deal with
01:28:32.580 it yeah I
01:28:35.240 suppose it's
01:28:35.780 how much do
01:28:36.360 you charge the
01:28:36.960 therapy session
01:28:37.760 we're racking up
01:28:39.660 a bill aren't
01:28:40.160 we we may we
01:28:41.220 spend so much
01:28:41.760 money on this
01:28:42.200 fucking studio
01:28:42.700 we can't afford
01:28:43.400 I think I have
01:28:47.720 one of those
01:28:48.060 faces it might
01:28:48.820 be it might be
01:28:49.460 my demeanor
01:28:50.140 no it's the
01:28:50.780 fact that we
01:28:51.280 did that
01:28:51.700 interview with
01:28:52.260 you before
01:28:52.620 where you
01:28:52.920 interviewed us
01:28:53.540 about all our
01:28:54.260 psychological
01:28:54.700 shit that no
01:28:55.340 one has seen
01:28:55.880 yet so we
01:28:56.620 feel able to
01:28:57.440 share now
01:28:57.920 I'll recover
01:28:59.040 that I will
01:28:59.660 recover it
01:29:00.220 no I think
01:29:01.020 but I like this
01:29:02.360 because I care
01:29:04.180 very much about
01:29:04.760 your project I
01:29:05.420 care about what
01:29:05.920 you're doing
01:29:06.260 for like I
01:29:06.740 told you from
01:29:07.200 the beginning
01:29:07.500 like this is
01:29:08.060 this is fantastic
01:29:08.880 and it's nice
01:29:11.600 to get in there
01:29:12.980 and just check
01:29:13.640 maybe even
01:29:14.140 pressure to check
01:29:15.160 like what's
01:29:15.700 what's this
01:29:16.120 what are we
01:29:16.420 doing here
01:29:16.860 what's this
01:29:17.320 concept
01:29:17.660 where are we
01:29:18.080 going
01:29:18.380 and to see
01:29:19.280 that there is
01:29:19.820 there is
01:29:20.220 something there
01:29:20.700 there's some
01:29:21.040 real thought
01:29:21.600 there like
01:29:22.420 this project
01:29:24.340 worked some
01:29:25.180 people become
01:29:25.820 the victims of
01:29:26.860 their own success
01:29:27.580 but if you're
01:29:28.340 still growing
01:29:29.100 inside of the
01:29:29.700 project or
01:29:30.260 growing because
01:29:30.780 of the project
01:29:31.380 that's fantastic
01:29:32.280 isn't it
01:29:32.860 yeah and
01:29:33.680 but that's the
01:29:34.460 thing it's
01:29:35.020 it's so
01:29:37.080 important to
01:29:37.780 grow
01:29:38.060 yeah
01:29:38.600 I think
01:29:39.380 that's why
01:29:39.780 so many
01:29:40.180 people in
01:29:40.940 this society
01:29:41.660 and you
01:29:42.480 look around
01:29:43.140 are miserable
01:29:43.660 because they
01:29:45.060 don't grow
01:29:45.640 and that's
01:29:46.300 why they
01:29:46.580 go oh
01:29:47.260 you know
01:29:47.420 the best
01:29:47.760 days of
01:29:48.120 my life
01:29:48.540 was at
01:29:49.580 school
01:29:49.900 and I
01:29:50.300 number one
01:29:51.300 I find that
01:29:51.760 a horrifically
01:29:52.640 tragic statement
01:29:53.480 and any time
01:29:54.080 someone says it
01:29:54.660 I feel deeply
01:29:55.340 sorry for them
01:29:56.000 that's because
01:29:56.280 you had a
01:29:56.680 shit time
01:29:57.080 in school
01:29:57.400 it's true
01:29:58.820 maybe if I
01:29:59.340 was captain
01:29:59.740 of the
01:30:00.020 football team
01:30:00.600 and going
01:30:01.360 out with
01:30:01.660 whatever
01:30:01.900 then maybe
01:30:02.320 it would
01:30:02.540 have been
01:30:02.740 but you
01:30:03.840 go well
01:30:04.360 the reason
01:30:04.940 for that
01:30:05.440 is because
01:30:05.900 at school
01:30:06.380 it was
01:30:06.680 constant
01:30:07.100 progression
01:30:07.600 you were
01:30:08.460 going
01:30:08.740 you know
01:30:09.360 and the
01:30:09.680 progression
01:30:10.100 was going
01:30:10.640 up
01:30:10.920 every year
01:30:11.620 you were
01:30:11.860 going to
01:30:12.160 a new
01:30:12.440 year
01:30:12.760 you were
01:30:13.300 learning
01:30:13.680 things
01:30:14.100 you were
01:30:14.400 always
01:30:14.760 moving
01:30:15.100 forward
01:30:15.460 but a lot
01:30:15.980 of people
01:30:16.340 when they
01:30:16.560 get into
01:30:16.900 adulthood
01:30:17.620 or what
01:30:18.380 we perceive
01:30:19.940 to be
01:30:20.240 adulthood
01:30:20.500 they enter
01:30:22.340 just a
01:30:23.180 period of
01:30:23.600 stasis
01:30:24.080 where they
01:30:25.180 don't grow
01:30:25.780 where they
01:30:26.100 don't develop
01:30:26.760 where they
01:30:27.080 don't improve
01:30:27.940 and as a
01:30:28.920 result
01:30:29.260 they slowly
01:30:29.860 atrophy
01:30:30.360 and I think
01:30:32.380 that's a
01:30:32.700 very real
01:30:33.260 problem
01:30:33.720 yes
01:30:34.860 100%
01:30:35.600 without
01:30:36.400 external
01:30:38.240 pressure
01:30:38.700 people do
01:30:39.220 atrophy
01:30:39.460 and we're
01:30:39.760 living longer
01:30:40.340 and the
01:30:41.420 world is a
01:30:41.880 more civilised
01:30:42.500 place
01:30:42.880 and these
01:30:43.600 sound like
01:30:44.000 good things
01:30:44.400 but they
01:30:44.700 bring their
01:30:45.220 own problems
01:30:45.700 with them
01:30:46.020 as well
01:30:46.300 of course
01:30:46.740 don't they
01:30:47.080 like as
01:30:47.840 you say
01:30:48.140 stagnation
01:30:48.940 atrophy
01:30:49.760 becoming too
01:30:51.020 comfortable
01:30:51.480 and I think
01:30:52.380 one of the
01:30:52.720 things that
01:30:53.100 we all need
01:30:53.720 as well
01:30:54.060 is you need
01:30:54.660 that challenge
01:30:55.140 you need
01:30:55.600 a bit of
01:30:55.920 a fight
01:30:56.280 a bit of
01:30:56.640 a battle
01:30:57.080 at least
01:30:58.420 at the
01:30:58.660 intellectual
01:30:59.080 level
01:30:59.440 just to
01:30:59.800 keep it
01:31:00.100 fresh
01:31:00.500 because there
01:31:01.200 must be
01:31:01.520 things that
01:31:02.060 even in the
01:31:02.900 last six
01:31:03.480 months
01:31:03.840 that you
01:31:04.300 believed
01:31:04.800 to be
01:31:05.220 true
01:31:05.460 or you
01:31:05.760 held as
01:31:06.140 positions
01:31:06.500 that you've
01:31:06.880 let go of
01:31:07.440 through
01:31:07.680 chatting to
01:31:08.420 people and
01:31:08.820 chatting to
01:31:09.160 each other
01:31:09.540 and experiences
01:31:10.660 that you go
01:31:11.260 through
01:31:11.500 the experience
01:31:13.020 is actually
01:31:13.480 I think
01:31:13.880 one of the
01:31:14.300 bigger ones
01:31:14.740 for example
01:31:15.240 I definitely
01:31:15.980 think
01:31:16.480 running
01:31:17.900 trigonometry
01:31:18.560 has made
01:31:19.580 me more
01:31:20.780 fiscally
01:31:22.040 conservative
01:31:22.640 because you
01:31:24.340 run a small
01:31:24.780 business
01:31:25.080 in this country
01:31:25.540 you realize
01:31:25.840 how fucking
01:31:26.300 hard it is
01:31:26.860 running a small
01:31:27.320 business will
01:31:27.800 do that to you
01:31:28.380 it changes
01:31:28.920 you
01:31:29.080 every time
01:31:29.740 people ask
01:31:30.140 me about
01:31:30.400 business
01:31:30.720 advice
01:31:31.060 you will
01:31:32.320 change as
01:31:33.000 a person
01:31:33.520 and break
01:31:34.300 in ways
01:31:34.820 you cannot
01:31:35.500 fucking
01:31:36.260 imagine
01:31:36.800 it breaks
01:31:37.980 you
01:31:38.260 it builds
01:31:38.780 you
01:31:39.060 it's a
01:31:40.040 psychedelic
01:31:41.080 experience
01:31:41.520 if you can
01:31:42.640 do it
01:31:43.080 because most
01:31:44.280 people can't
01:31:45.480 they say
01:31:45.960 80% of
01:31:46.880 startups
01:31:47.280 fail
01:31:47.640 that's
01:31:47.880 nonsense
01:31:48.420 99.999%
01:31:49.960 fail
01:31:50.340 because
01:31:51.200 people can't
01:31:52.380 break
01:31:52.700 they lack
01:31:54.120 the mental
01:31:54.460 flexibility
01:31:54.920 to have
01:31:55.520 the break
01:31:56.000 and then
01:31:56.380 come through
01:31:56.820 the break
01:31:57.260 and rebuild
01:31:58.260 doing business
01:32:00.000 from scratch
01:32:00.640 I think it's
01:32:01.700 been the same
01:32:02.120 for you
01:32:02.440 mate
01:32:02.600 to some extent
01:32:03.080 because you've
01:32:03.740 worked in
01:32:04.320 public sector
01:32:05.120 jobs
01:32:05.440 most of your
01:32:06.040 life
01:32:06.260 before becoming
01:32:06.920 a comedian
01:32:07.420 and now
01:32:08.820 you're having
01:32:09.300 to be confronted
01:32:10.600 with
01:32:10.940 you do this
01:32:12.400 and this
01:32:12.780 goes wrong
01:32:13.340 and it's
01:32:13.660 on you
01:32:14.320 yeah
01:32:14.680 absolutely
01:32:15.320 and it's
01:32:16.100 that's
01:32:17.660 that's the
01:32:18.220 real challenge
01:32:18.960 and but that's
01:32:19.760 what I was
01:32:21.200 talking I was
01:32:21.880 doing therapy
01:32:22.520 actually and I
01:32:23.000 was talking
01:32:23.460 about this
01:32:24.060 and with my
01:32:25.020 therapist
01:32:25.420 and she was
01:32:26.060 we were talking
01:32:27.300 about regeneration
01:32:28.820 and in many
01:32:30.600 ways if you're
01:32:31.480 not regenerating
01:32:32.540 a part of
01:32:33.020 yourself every
01:32:33.840 six months
01:32:34.560 and you're
01:32:35.340 not changing
01:32:35.960 every six
01:32:36.720 months
01:32:37.060 you're going
01:32:37.900 backwards
01:32:38.280 yeah
01:32:38.800 you've got
01:32:39.680 to you've
01:32:40.580 got to
01:32:41.120 change
01:32:41.640 every six
01:32:42.380 months
01:32:42.620 I am
01:32:43.080 completely
01:32:43.580 different
01:32:44.100 in many
01:32:44.640 ways
01:32:44.980 from the
01:32:45.560 person I
01:32:45.960 was six
01:32:46.380 months ago
01:32:46.900 because I
01:32:47.540 have to
01:32:47.960 because my
01:32:48.440 life's
01:32:48.900 changed
01:32:49.240 because things
01:32:50.100 have changed
01:32:50.720 because we're
01:32:51.360 in a new
01:32:51.800 location
01:32:52.440 where
01:32:52.720 and the
01:32:53.880 things that I
01:32:54.440 have to
01:32:54.800 implement in
01:32:55.360 my life
01:32:55.900 I've got
01:32:56.800 to change
01:32:57.420 I've
01:32:58.300 someone who
01:32:59.700 I've always
01:33:00.300 been very
01:33:00.700 anxious
01:33:01.020 and I'm
01:33:02.640 taking a lot
01:33:03.820 of steps
01:33:04.240 to work
01:33:05.160 with that
01:33:05.540 to improve
01:33:06.180 that
01:33:06.460 I'm learning
01:33:07.320 to drive
01:33:07.800 as a 40
01:33:08.460 year old
01:33:08.820 man
01:33:09.080 in January
01:33:10.100 and I've
01:33:11.280 avoided it
01:33:13.140 and done it
01:33:13.960 and touched
01:33:14.340 upon it
01:33:14.780 and not
01:33:15.080 done it
01:33:15.560 because I
01:33:16.720 found it
01:33:17.100 difficult
01:33:17.460 but
01:33:17.860 well you've
01:33:19.340 got to
01:33:19.540 change
01:33:19.940 otherwise
01:33:21.320 you're not
01:33:23.720 going to
01:33:24.240 improve
01:33:24.720 and ultimately
01:33:26.120 we talk
01:33:26.820 about
01:33:27.060 kindness
01:33:27.540 but I
01:33:28.500 think
01:33:28.920 one of the
01:33:29.660 things we
01:33:29.980 never talk
01:33:30.520 about with
01:33:30.900 kindness
01:33:31.240 is when
01:33:32.440 we're not
01:33:32.760 kind to
01:33:33.260 ourselves
01:33:33.700 and I
01:33:34.340 think that's
01:33:34.860 where a lot
01:33:35.260 of depression
01:33:35.780 actually comes
01:33:36.540 from
01:33:36.780 is because
01:33:37.760 when you
01:33:39.240 don't do
01:33:39.840 things like
01:33:40.240 you don't
01:33:40.740 stand up
01:33:41.220 for yourself
01:33:41.720 you don't
01:33:42.360 do things
01:33:42.880 for yourself
01:33:43.500 that you
01:33:43.960 need
01:33:44.500 even though
01:33:45.760 you put it
01:33:46.160 to the back
01:33:46.620 of your
01:33:46.900 mind
01:33:47.320 you know
01:33:48.400 that you've
01:33:48.800 let yourself
01:33:49.340 down
01:33:49.700 and you're
01:33:50.760 not being
01:33:51.120 kind to
01:33:51.620 yourself
01:33:51.980 and I
01:33:53.020 think a lot
01:33:53.520 of it
01:33:53.720 that's where
01:33:54.160 the Malay
01:33:54.700 is the
01:33:55.020 depression
01:33:55.440 comes from
01:33:56.080 because you're
01:33:56.820 not being
01:33:57.320 kind to
01:33:57.820 yourself
01:33:58.240 and it's
01:33:59.920 all of those
01:34:00.400 things
01:34:00.760 Richard so
01:34:02.320 you are our
01:34:03.040 last interview
01:34:03.960 of the year
01:34:04.720 that we're
01:34:05.760 recording
01:34:06.140 it may not
01:34:06.880 go out in
01:34:07.440 that sequence
01:34:07.940 but as you
01:34:09.860 think about
01:34:10.380 the last year
01:34:11.220 what do you
01:34:11.960 reflect on
01:34:12.580 what are your
01:34:13.000 thoughts
01:34:13.400 what have you
01:34:14.780 been thinking
01:34:15.300 about what is
01:34:15.920 the new thing
01:34:16.540 for you that
01:34:17.060 you've discovered
01:34:17.700 or you've
01:34:18.240 kind of
01:34:18.500 identified
01:34:19.060 or you wanted
01:34:19.660 to say
01:34:20.160 just a
01:34:23.100 cough
01:34:23.300 in our
01:34:23.540 faces
01:34:23.820 just a
01:34:24.160 bit of
01:34:25.020 COVID
01:34:25.280 it's coming
01:34:26.640 back
01:34:27.000 no it's not
01:34:27.980 it's not
01:34:28.300 the flu
01:34:28.700 mate
01:34:28.980 the thing
01:34:31.880 that's been
01:34:32.300 well I've
01:34:33.600 never
01:34:33.800 I never do
01:34:34.700 this whole
01:34:35.140 like new
01:34:35.560 year
01:34:35.760 new me
01:34:36.660 thing
01:34:36.960 but the
01:34:37.720 way 2022
01:34:38.400 has gone
01:34:39.120 especially as
01:34:39.740 I'm leading
01:34:40.020 up to the
01:34:40.380 end of the
01:34:40.620 year
01:34:40.800 it's like
01:34:41.140 wow
01:34:41.360 really a lot
01:34:42.100 of old
01:34:43.380 chapters in
01:34:43.960 my life
01:34:44.360 have closed
01:34:45.020 I've found
01:34:46.420 that as
01:34:47.420 I've become
01:34:47.960 more fixated
01:34:48.800 in my own
01:34:49.920 life
01:34:50.240 I'm more
01:34:50.780 rooted in
01:34:51.240 what I do
01:34:51.680 want
01:34:51.960 what I do
01:34:52.380 want to
01:34:52.600 create
01:34:52.900 the people
01:34:53.280 I want to
01:34:53.620 have around
01:34:54.060 me
01:34:54.440 automatically
01:34:56.380 and spontaneously
01:34:57.180 different
01:34:57.560 situations
01:34:58.200 that were
01:34:58.520 there
01:34:58.740 different
01:34:59.000 people
01:34:59.400 that have
01:34:59.640 been
01:34:59.800 hanging
01:35:00.100 around
01:35:00.400 that
01:35:00.560 shouldn't
01:35:00.860 have
01:35:01.000 been
01:35:01.220 they've
01:35:01.760 dropped
01:35:01.940 off
01:35:02.300 in my
01:35:03.040 experience
01:35:03.680 of their
01:35:04.600 own
01:35:04.820 volition
01:35:05.200 I haven't
01:35:06.080 said to
01:35:06.420 them
01:35:06.620 you know
01:35:07.160 I've
01:35:07.420 moved on
01:35:07.740 it's
01:35:07.880 time to
01:35:08.160 go
01:35:08.320 away
01:35:08.640 maybe
01:35:09.220 I'm
01:35:09.340 giving
01:35:09.480 them
01:35:09.600 a different
01:35:09.900 energy
01:35:10.300 or a
01:35:10.520 vibe
01:35:11.000 they just
01:35:11.540 go
01:35:11.740 on
01:35:11.840 their
01:35:11.960 own
01:35:12.140 way
01:35:12.340 and
01:35:13.420 one
01:35:13.580 of the
01:35:13.780 things
01:35:14.060 that I'm
01:35:14.460 thinking
01:35:14.660 about
01:35:14.880 a lot
01:35:15.180 moving
01:35:15.440 into
01:35:15.640 2023
01:35:16.120 is
01:35:16.600 just
01:35:16.800 to get
01:35:17.160 very
01:35:17.480 focused
01:35:18.060 on
01:35:18.320 what
01:35:18.480 I do
01:35:18.820 want
01:35:19.120 what I
01:35:19.580 do
01:35:19.720 want
01:35:19.860 to
01:35:19.940 create
01:35:20.160 in my
01:35:20.400 own
01:35:20.540 life
01:35:20.740 and I
01:35:20.980 think
01:35:21.280 politically
01:35:23.360 philosophically
01:35:24.320 this
01:35:25.320 country
01:35:25.980 us as a
01:35:26.680 culture
01:35:26.940 we all
01:35:27.660 have to
01:35:28.080 do
01:35:28.240 that
01:35:28.460 now
01:35:28.740 because
01:35:29.240 I
01:35:29.420 can
01:35:29.540 see
01:35:29.740 things
01:35:30.060 moving
01:35:30.420 potentially
01:35:31.020 in a
01:35:31.820 very
01:35:32.140 dark
01:35:32.700 direction
01:35:33.200 where
01:35:33.800 there's
01:35:34.100 going
01:35:34.220 to be
01:35:34.380 a lot
01:35:34.700 more
01:35:34.940 authoritarianism
01:35:35.960 I
01:35:36.280 don't
01:35:36.640 think
01:35:36.900 anybody
01:35:37.280 really
01:35:37.840 wants
01:35:38.220 it
01:35:38.380 who's
01:35:38.580 thought
01:35:38.780 it
01:35:38.940 through
01:35:39.180 in order
01:35:40.980 to resist
01:35:41.520 that
01:35:41.840 we must
01:35:42.520 have a
01:35:42.900 strong
01:35:43.140 sense
01:35:43.460 of what
01:35:43.720 it is
01:35:43.920 we do
01:35:44.180 want
01:35:44.380 in our
01:35:44.640 lives
01:35:44.900 and we
01:35:45.240 have to
01:35:45.500 move
01:35:45.680 toward
01:35:46.000 it
01:35:46.260 in a
01:35:46.900 way
01:35:47.020 that
01:35:47.200 is
01:35:47.520 courageous
01:35:48.420 and with
01:35:49.100 humility
01:35:49.540 with
01:35:49.940 flexibility
01:35:50.480 and that's
01:35:51.980 what I'm
01:35:52.200 going to be
01:35:52.400 doing
01:35:52.580 personally
01:35:53.040 in 2023
01:35:54.060 is just
01:35:54.820 focusing
01:35:55.400 on that
01:35:55.780 when are you
01:35:56.360 going to
01:35:56.540 find a
01:35:56.800 wife and
01:35:57.200 have some
01:35:57.520 kids
01:35:57.760 Richard
01:35:58.080 I
01:35:58.680 knew
01:35:58.940 he
01:35:59.120 would
01:35:59.320 ask
01:35:59.660 me
01:35:59.860 listen
01:36:01.040 fundamentally
01:36:01.840 heart
01:36:02.280 is
01:36:02.520 Russian
01:36:02.940 babushka
01:36:04.080 want
01:36:06.900 you're not
01:36:07.200 real men
01:36:07.720 not real
01:36:08.300 men
01:36:08.540 until
01:36:08.860 her family
01:36:09.480 no I
01:36:10.220 I'm sure
01:36:11.480 I will
01:36:12.640 eventually
01:36:13.420 this year
01:36:15.500 no
01:36:15.760 if I could
01:36:18.320 go to
01:36:18.640 Venezuela
01:36:19.140 that's when
01:36:19.880 when they
01:36:20.220 let me
01:36:20.480 into
01:36:20.640 Venezuela
01:36:21.060 that's when
01:36:21.560 I will
01:36:21.820 find
01:36:22.180 also very
01:36:25.260 good if you
01:36:25.640 want to lose
01:36:26.020 weight
01:36:26.240 Venezuela
01:36:26.780 if you want
01:36:29.440 to come back
01:36:29.940 ripped
01:36:30.240 mate
01:36:30.500 because you
01:36:30.760 haven't eaten
01:36:31.120 anything
01:36:31.360 exactly
01:36:33.340 Richard
01:36:36.220 you're
01:36:36.800 as I
01:36:37.320 said
01:36:37.480 one of
01:36:37.820 our
01:36:37.960 absolute
01:36:38.260 favourites
01:36:38.820 thanks so
01:36:39.740 much for
01:36:40.000 coming back
01:36:40.420 we'll do a
01:36:40.980 couple of
01:36:41.320 questions from
01:36:41.900 our supporters
01:36:42.480 that only
01:36:43.020 they will get
01:36:43.560 to see the
01:36:43.980 answer to
01:36:44.860 on Locals
01:36:45.380 did we do
01:36:46.160 the last
01:36:46.460 questions
01:36:46.860 what's one
01:36:48.120 thing we're
01:36:48.440 not talking
01:36:48.920 about that
01:36:49.320 we really
01:36:49.640 should be
01:36:50.140 good lord
01:36:51.320 everything
01:36:51.720 that we've
01:36:52.100 been talking
01:36:52.500 about today
01:36:53.100 the power
01:36:54.220 of
01:36:54.940 simple
01:36:56.600 reasoned
01:36:57.860 good faith
01:36:58.360 debate
01:36:58.780 I think
