  SPEAKER_00: Let me give a warning before I start this episode.
• 0:03
  SPEAKER_00: Most of you are going to be upset by the end of this episode.
• 0:06
  SPEAKER_00: Some people are not even going to make it to the end of the episode.
• 0:09
  SPEAKER_00: And some who watch to the end will cancel me forever.
• 0:13
  SPEAKER_00: Because even though everything I'm going to say is the truth, sometimes the truth can be uncomfortable.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_00: But let's go into it.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_00: Today we are talking about objective morality.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_00: The concept is simple.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: There is no good, there is no bad.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_00: There is only good for and bad for.
• 0:39
  SPEAKER_00: Now, in nature, the entire concept of good and bad has been created by human beings.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_00: And it is all based on the two things that actually do exist, which is actions and consequences.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: People judge a situation based on the consequences of their actions to tell them if it is a good situation or it's a bad situation.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: But it's not universal.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: Let me give an example so you understand what I mean.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_00: You've been at home for six months, unemployed.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: You are looking for a job, you've gone for so many job interviews, and nobody's taking you seriously.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: You're starving.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: You need to survive.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: And your uncle who works at a company decides to say, Let me call my nephew and give him a job at my company so that he can survive.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: Now, this is good for you.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: You're excited.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: You call your family, you're throwing a party, everybody's excited.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: Finally, you're going to survive.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: Now, there's somebody else who has been without employment for three years, who was more qualified than you, who went for that same job interview and was being considered and may have gotten the opportunity to save their life.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: But because of your uncle, they lost that opportunity and you got the job.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: Is this situation good or bad?
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: For you, it's good because, as far as you're concerned, this is a blessing in your life.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: For that person, they will curse the day that you were born.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: They will call you and your uncle evil.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: They will say you are bad people.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: There is no good, there is no bad.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: There is no good versus evil, no right versus wrong.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: There is only what we decide as per how it affects us.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: Now keep this example in your mind because when I go further into this, the examples I'm going to give are going to get more uncomfortable.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: Let's start by talking about animals.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: Have you ever considered this?
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: If animals had a religion, humanity would be the devils.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: Look at what we do.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: We talk about animals like sharks and bears and you know wild animals.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_00: We label them wild animals and we say they are monsters because they can kill humans.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: Because if I go into the forest, a bear can kill me.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: If I'm swimming, a shark can kill me.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: So we label them as monsters when they are killing two or three of us at a time.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: But human beings, from the last time I did my research, are killing about 80 billion animals every year to eat.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: Every year we kill 80 billion animals to survive, to eat.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: But we say we are civilized.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: But when a shark is trying to eat us, that shark is a monster because us eating chicken or us eating fish.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, by the way, the 80 billion animals is 80 billion land animals.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: If we add sea animals, it goes into the trillions.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: So me having my steak for dinner is a good thing.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: It's civilized because I'm doing it with the fucking knife and I've you know dressed up nicely for it.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: There's AC on me, so I'm a good person.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_00: But when a wolf decides to eat me for lunch, that wolf is a monster and deserves to be killed or pushed away from society or locked up in a cage because they are a monster.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: I'm good, they are bad.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: But I know what you're thinking.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: We only eat these animals, these 80 billion animals a year to survive.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: It's for our survival, so it's not necessarily a bad thing.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: We are only doing what we need to do to survive.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: So let's move away from there a bit.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_00: Still on the animals.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: Did you know that every year we kill about 192 million animals for testing?
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: Now, when I say testing, I'm talking about for medicinal purposes, for perfume, for deodorant, for skin care.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_00: We test every single thing that is going to be applied on human beings, on animals first, to make sure it's safe for us.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: So let's even talk about the vegan who was watching the first part and saying, Yes, that's why I don't eat meat.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, that's why I don't eat animal products because I care about animals.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: If you're a vegan and you use deodorant, you are condoning the killing of animals.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: If you are a vegan and you spray perfume, you are part of an industry that killed animals.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: So beyond survival, we have decided to kill animals for our convenience because we want to smell better, we want to look better, we want to boost industry.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: So we are testing, you know.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, there's this new medicine.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: This medicine could cure this disease, or we want to try this plastic surgery method, but you can't try it on a human being first.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_00: So try it on a pig.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: So literally, a guinea pig.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: Let's even go further than that.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_00: Then there are animals that we kill just for aesthetics.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_00: We're killing animals for our leather bags, killing crocodiles to have, you know, our leather belts.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: One of the most painful things that I found out, I didn't even know this, that we get silk by boiling silk worms alive in their cocoons.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: Did you hear what I said?
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: Every time you're wearing a beautiful silk dress, please understand that they boiled silk worms alive inside their cocoon so that you can wear silk.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_00: So, are we doing a good thing?
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: Are we doing a bad thing?
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: As far as we are concerned, oh, but silk is so smooth and silk is so soft.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: So it's good for humanity, but it's bad for the silkworms.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: Now let's even go to the animals that we do love.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: Let's talk about pets for a second.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_00: I want you to imagine this.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: Imagine another species appeared on earth, stronger, smarter, and more capable than human beings.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: And what this species decided to do is that when a human is two months or three months, they will kidnap that human from their home, kidnap that human from their parents, and take them to live in their habitats.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: They will force them to eat the food they want them to eat, they will force them to do exactly what they want to do.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_00: They will put them in a prison which they call their home and raise them and make them dependent on them.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: Would you say these aliens are doing a good thing to humanity or a bad thing?
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_00: Would you say they are doing a good thing to the parents whose child they just abducted or it's a bad thing?
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_00: But somehow we believe that when we adopt pets, we are doing a good thing.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: We believe that when we are taking a puppy away from its mother, we are doing a good thing.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: We believe that cat, which is supposed to be in the wild, which has been locked in the confines of our home or sometimes in a cage, is living a pristine life because we decided so.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: Is this a good thing or it's a bad thing?
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: As far as humanity is concerned, and I'm sure you're watching me right now and saying, Oh, but come on, Richie, this is a good thing.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: It's a good thing for you, but a bad thing for those loving parents who you just rid of their child.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: Now let's come to the human side of life.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_00: Let's talk about how technology affects morality.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_00: I'll start with animals again and then move into humans.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_00: So the first technology I would like to talk about is do you remember that there was a point in time that the only way that we used to move around was horses?
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_00: Which is why we then came up with the term horsepower.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_00: There was a time when to be able to move from one place to another, you would take a horse from the wild and beat that horse into submission so that it does exactly what you tell it to do.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: Then we would nail hoofs into its legs so that it can move further distances that we want to go.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: Then every time we wanted to go, we would whip its back to keep it in shape and tell it exactly where we wanted to go.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_00: And all this was humane, all this was fine because the horses were making us more efficient.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: So nobody ever considered, are we doing good or bad to the horse?
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: And then the car was invented.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: Now, when the car was invented, suddenly our eyes started opening to certain things and realizing that, oh, maybe we should be using the car because it's unfair to treat horses like that.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_00: It's unfair to, you know, whip the horses all the time.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: And suddenly we started noticing all the manure on the road because these horses would leave feces everywhere on the road.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_00: And we started to realize that all these things were bad because now we needed to make way for the new cars that had been invented.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_00: So now the horses were kept away from the road and the roads were cleared so that cars can move freely.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_00: But of course, nobody considered all the smoke, all the exhaust fumes that were affecting the atmosphere, all these things that were starting to harm nature.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_00: We didn't consider it because the car was good for us.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_00: Now we moved from getting to a place in one hour to getting to that same place in 10 minutes.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_00: So we didn't care about the consequences to nature because those consequences didn't affect us.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_00: And now I get to watch the same thing happen in real time because we're starting to move from fuel cars to electric vehicles.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_00: So now suddenly it's becoming uncool to drive a fuel car because you are polluting the environment.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_00: And trust me, it will get worse and worse to a point where now anyone driving a full-all car in some years to come will be seen as an abomination, as an evil person because they don't care about nature.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_00: But that's because technology has made it now convenient for us to see the consequences of what we did for over 100 years.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: And it's the same through our technology.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want to stay too long on technology, but let's even talk about the latest technology, AI.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_00: I see so many people talk about AI, and I find it so funny.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: For instance, you have musicians who talk about how horrible AI is for the music industry.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_00: Because why should it take someone two seconds to create a song when it takes them two days to think and write and plan?
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: And then you see the same musicians also talk about how they enjoy using AI to build apps because now they can just have an idea and build an app in a few minutes.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_00: Have you considered how it's affecting the app developer?
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_00: You see the same musicians who are complaining about music being created just like that, using AI to create their album artwork, using AI to do content for their music.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_00: Have you considered the video editor?
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_00: Have you considered the graphic designer?
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_00: Whether you think it's good or bad for them.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_00: And if you reverse it, it's the same thing.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_00: That video editor who always needed to find a musician to call to create some music so they can put as a score underneath their videos, can now just go and prompt any music that they want and use it on their video.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_00: So nobody is really thinking about is it good or is it bad.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_00: They are thinking which part is good for me, and they don't care about which part is bad for them.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_00: Now let's head into uncomfortable territory.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_00: I think we can confidently say that if you ask anybody who is living in the world right now, it is undeniable that slavery is a bad thing, that slavery was right to be abolished, that slavery should have never happened.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_00: Slavery is a bad thing.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_00: Understood?
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_00: If that is the case, why did the world go thousands of years where slavery was the order of the day?
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_00: We have all the old civilizations, from Egypt to Greece to Rome, to the Jews, to Kemits, I mean that's still Egypt, to the Arab nations, inside Africa, everywhere in the world, through all the civilizations, slavery was not just allowed, it even had its own rules.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_00: So much that our religions, the religions which are supposedly supposed to give us our morality, allowed slavery and told us how to do how to treat our slaves and how slaves should treat their masters.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_00: You have both the Bible and the Quran telling you how to treat your master if you are a slave, and telling a master how to treat your slaves.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_00: We complain about the transatlantic slave trade and we forget the fact that you had religious leaders permitting and telling them you can go and capture these people as your slaves because they don't worship the same God that you do.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_00: So if we all know that slavery is a bad thing, how did we go for thousands of years where it was so allowed and it was so commercial and the world accepted it?
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_00: Because it benefited some people, it benefited those who made the rules.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: And as long as the consequences are not negative for those who make the rules, something will always be seen as good.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_00: It only becomes bad when the consequences outweigh the benefits.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_00: Now, one thing that even at the most natural and basic level should definitely be considered bad.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_00: One thing I expect everybody to have always said throughout our existence in humanity to say is bad was taking the life of another human being.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: That is non-negotiable.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_00: However, not only has it been allowed and permitted throughout history, you see people being celebrated.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_00: Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Shakazulu.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_00: You see a lot of great men being celebrated.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_00: And when you ask, what did they do?
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_00: They were called conquerors.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_00: They were proud about the fact that they took human lives for their benefits, for power, for ego, for expansion, for wealth.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_00: And we praise these people for taking lives.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_00: You even go in the Bible and they sing songs about them.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_00: Saul has killed a thousand, but David tens of thousands.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_00: We are praising one man for being able to take the lives of more people than another man.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_00: We are putting him to shame that he's not taken enough lives.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_00: Not only has this been condoned by humanity for so long, we actually have our gods ordering the taking of lives.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes for reasons like, you know, they laughed at the prophet, so children should be mauled to death.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes reasons like when you were passing through their town, they frowned at you.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_00: So go back and make sure you take the lives of everybody there.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_00: And it's okay.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_00: But this should be a basic principle that taking the life of another human is bad.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_00: Look, taking the life of animals is bad.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_00: But we decided to be cool with it because the consequence doesn't affect humanity.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_00: Now, taking the life of another human cannot even be deemed bad.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_00: Let's even move away from the politically accepted ones.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_00: Let's come to the day-to-day human lives.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_00: Are you guys aware of the fact that if you take somebody's life in self-defense, it's not a punishment, it's not a punishable offense.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_00: Now, when I say self-defense, I know you are thinking maybe you've been attacked, the person was beating you to death, and then you defended yourself.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_00: No, I mean something as simple as if someone jumps the wall into my compound and I can't see who they are, so I pull out a gun and I shoot the person.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_00: That's a self-defense.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_00: Because they were trespassing, I didn't know who they were, I thought it was a threat, so I took their life, and that is completely accepted.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_00: Why?
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_00: Taking the life of another human being should be bad in every situation.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_00: But we choose when it's good, we choose when it's bad.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_00: You even see court cases where people are arguing about a mother taking the life of her three children, and people are arguing on whether it was a good thing or it was a bad thing.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_00: Should that be the case?
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_00: If morality is objective, then it should always be the case that taking lives is a bad thing.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_00: No argument, case closed.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_00: But that's not the case.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_00: Now I'm going to go to one of the hardest places in this conversation.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_00: One thing that once again we all know is a bad thing.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_00: We all know should not be allowed, should not be even talked about because of how bad it is.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yet you have people praising, celebrating, or condoning it throughout history.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_00: The act of forcefully having intercourse with another human being.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_00: We understand that this is a bad thing that should never be done.
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_00: So why is it that it was okay when two countries are having a war, they actually tell you that as part of the spoils of war, you can take the women as your wives.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_00: That is forcing yourself on the women who don't want you.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_00: You take a woman whose husband you just took his life, and then you force her to be your wife.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_00: How is that okay?
• 19:51
  SPEAKER_00: You have slaves who were called sex slaves, it was part of the the service that they needed to offer.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_00: At any time that their master wants, they need to be there.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_00: How is that okay?
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_00: But we've been okay with this for thousands of years.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_00: We have this in our religious text.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_00: Let's even get worse.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_00: There is a story in the book of Judges, which talks about a man who was passing through a town.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_00: He was with, I think he was with his daughter or something like that.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_00: I'll get the exact facts and put it in the comments so that you and put it in the description so he can read.
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_00: And a group of men came knocking that the man should come out so that they can have their way with the man.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_00: And he said no.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_00: And the person who he was visiting also said no, because that was an abomination.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_00: So to appease the group of men who were outside violently banging and trying to get him to come outside, to appease them, he took his daughter and gave his daughter to the men for them to have their way with her.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_00: And they did that all night, and she didn't manage to stay alive through to the next morning.
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_00: And this is in our religious text.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_00: How are we okay with that?
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_00: If we have objective morality, something like this is bad and should remain bad everywhere, should be condemned everywhere.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_00: As I'm saying this right now, trust me, somebody is in the comments justifying this.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_00: Somebody is in the comments saying that you are reading it out of context.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_00: There should be no context.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_00: When we are talking about objective morality, there should be no context.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_00: Now, let's bring it closer to home.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_00: Let's bring it closer to the everyday things that happen in society.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_00: Let's talk about relationships, right?
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_00: Now, if you go back in time a bit, there was a point where a man.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: Was seen as great based on how many wives he had.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_00: It was actually you know admired when a man had many wives.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_00: To the ladies watching this right now, would you respect a man in 2026 who has many wives?
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_00: If a man says he wants to marry you and marry three others or marry five others, would you respect that?
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_00: But when you go back, you have you know Sarah, Abraham's wife, even adding a wife unto Abraham because it was accepted and was respected, but now completely condemned.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_00: Let's go to another side of relationships.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_00: Even just a few decades ago, a man was respected more based on how chivalrous he is.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_00: A man who knows how to treat a lady, who would buy her flowers, who would open doors for her, who would pay for anything that she or the family needs, is a man that you can respect.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_00: That kind of man is the man that the entire society hails and praises all the time.
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_00: Because a man's role is to protect and care and provide for the woman.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_00: Now, when a man does the same thing, you see on social media they're calling him a simp.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_00: In Ghana, we say otolege.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_00: You see the same traits that have been respected in men for centuries, now being laughed at.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_00: Because society now doesn't respect that as much as they used to.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_00: The traditional man is now looked down on.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_00: Let's turn it around.
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_00: Let's look at a woman.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_00: There was a point in time that a respected woman was the woman who was nurturing, was the woman who wanted to dress decently, was the woman who wanted to stay away from being overly promiscuous.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_00: But now you have ladies calling each other body.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_00: Now you have it cool to show more skin.
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_00: The more skin you show, the more confident you are.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_00: They call it body positivity.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_00: So it's more positive now for a lady to show more skin than at first, where it was more positive to dress decently.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_00: Morality is subjective.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_00: Because if something is bad, it should not change based on what people want or how people feel.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_00: So the lady who used to dress in a provocative way was called horrible names 40, 50 years ago.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_00: The lady who dresses that same way right now is actually praised and is the leader of the pack.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_00: So at first it was bad for society, now it's good for society.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_00: So now let's come to why I'm teaching you all this.
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_00: Because I'm not saying all this to make you cynical, I'm not saying all this so that you walk around with the chip on your shoulder thinking that life is horrible.
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_00: No, I'm actually teaching you this to establish two things and change your viewpoint in two ways.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_00: The first one is don't judge.
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_00: You cannot judge anything as good or bad because it is only good from your point of view or bad from your point of view, and your point of view is decided by what society has taught you, what your family has shown you, what your schools have educated you to believe, what your churches have told you is right or wrong.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_00: So you should not judge another person because the person you are judging, as far as they are concerned, they are doing a good thing.
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_00: There is nobody who is walking around right now who thinks they are a villain.
• 25:56
  SPEAKER_00: There is nobody who is walking around thinking what I am doing is bad.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody feels justified with what they do because, like I said in the beginning, it's all about action versus consequences.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_00: So when they look in their life, the consequences of their actions is positive.
• 26:17
  SPEAKER_00: That person who scammed you does not think they've done a bad thing because the consequences of their action is they got rich.
• 26:27
  SPEAKER_00: That person who crossed you in traffic does not think they did a bad thing because their consequence was they got to where they are going quicker.
• 26:38
  SPEAKER_00: So the first point is don't judge.
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_00: Now the second point is this this is not to say that people are not being bad in your life, because what they are doing is bad for you, the consequence is bad for you.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_00: So what you need to do in your life is you make sure that anytime someone does something which is bad for you, let them feel the negative consequence.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_00: If somebody treats you horribly, if somebody treats you treat talks to you badly, somebody cheats you, somebody does something which hurts you.
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_00: Remove yourself.
• 27:21
  SPEAKER_00: Make your point clear.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_00: Make sure they understand their negative consequences.
• 27:28
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want to be spoken to in a rude way, I don't want to be disrespected.
• 27:33
  SPEAKER_00: So if you meet me and you are disrespecting me, it's one of two things.
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_00: Either I am telling it to your face so you understand that the next time you disrespect me, you will receive this harsh treatment, or I am removing you from my life.
• 27:47
  SPEAKER_00: You will no longer have the privilege of being around me because I don't want your bad behavior in my life.
• 27:57
  SPEAKER_00: So there is no good, there is no bad.
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_00: There is good for and there is bad for.
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_00: So you choose what's good for you, you choose what's bad for you, and make sure anyone doing bad to you faces the consequences of what they've done in your life.
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_00: I hope you don't hate me.
• 28:18
  SPEAKER_00: I hope you understand me, and I hope this conversation has brought you another step closer to being the mastermind that I know you are destined to be.
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_00: Stay good.
