Like Jersey Boys and Beautiful, the next musical mega hit is here, The Neil Diamond Musical, A Beautiful Noise.

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
01:36:59.400
that's
01:37:00.220
powerful
01:37:01.660
more than
01:37:02.220
social activism
01:37:02.960
more than
01:37:03.400
aggressively
01:37:03.900
pushing people
01:37:05.220
in different
01:37:05.560
directions
01:37:06.040
opening up
01:37:06.800
the conversation
01:37:07.480
good philosophy
01:37:08.680
embracing the
01:37:09.600
Socratic method
01:37:10.340
hearing the
01:37:11.220
other side
01:37:11.780
and then
01:37:12.560
building our
01:37:13.560
ideas together
01:37:14.240
fantastic
01:37:15.180
if people want
01:37:15.660
to get your
01:37:15.960
book where's
01:37:16.440
the best
01:37:16.680
place to do
01:37:17.200
that
01:37:17.440
Jeff Bezos
01:37:19.180
Slave House
01:37:20.080
that's where
01:37:21.740
you can get
01:37:22.080
my book
01:37:22.460
I watch those
01:37:23.240
films
01:37:23.620
Cult of One
01:37:27.260
it's called
01:37:28.040
maybe you
01:37:28.520
should knock
01:37:28.900
that on
01:37:29.680
its head
01:37:30.400
for 2020
01:37:30.980
that could be
01:37:31.540
a new year
01:37:32.020
resolution
01:37:32.640
stop watching
01:37:33.540
