  Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to HBr Talk four oh six, way
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: down under the accountability gap. I am here with Richard
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the Lionhearted. We are going to start on time, or
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: at least as close as we can Badger times. So
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: seven eight is seven o'clock, you know, because wammon are
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: always late. But Lauren and Mike are not here yet
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: because Mike has been traveling and so they may be
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: a bit of a distance from from home and they
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: may not be here for another like ten or twenty minutes.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: So that's the the whole group. Brian Martinez is still
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: working in the background to make everything happen, and you'll
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: see Mike and Lauren pop in when they get on discord.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: But before we get into the show, we gotta do
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: what we gotta do. As always, Honey Badger Radio dishes
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: out Ace morgas board of thought provoking Discussions and as
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: experiences both recent and long past have demonstrated, the provoked
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: thoughts are fighting back. They've made it clear that for
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: people like us, relying on third party payment platforms like
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Patreon to fund our work is treading on thin ice
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: or building our house in the path of a rapidly
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: growing wildfire. In light of this, we strongly encourage our
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: supporters to switch at least their support for us to
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: feed the Badger dot com the most stable way to
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: help us out. And if you want to tip us
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: directly instead of relying on any social media platforms, tip jar.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: The link for that is feed the Badger dot com
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: slash just the tip. And as always, the same risk
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: applies to our social media platforms, which is why you
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: should further provoke the thought police by tracking our thought
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: provoking discussions on Honeybadger Brigade dot com, where you can
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: find your way to all of our content, as well
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: as a link to feed the Badger dot com in
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the drop down menu at the top of the page.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: And before we actually get into the video, I do
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: have a super chat not super chat super chow. Let
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: me clear some unnecessary things from the screen at this point,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and we have Winter gave us ten dollars and said
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: been listening to the interview tonight of Hannah with Paul Elam,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: great interview. Thank you and I will thank you for
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: telling me that and for the ten dollars. So yeah,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun and it's been a
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: long time since I've actually gotten to be on a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: stream with Paul, and it was really cool getting to
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: watch his opener. It was kind of the same stuff
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I've been talking about. So it's funny we still end
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: up sounding fairly close to the same and at a
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: distance because the issues are the same throughout the men's
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: rights movement, and everybody's talking about the same things, and
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: so the ideas and the thoughts really do remain consistent.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: But it is an interview you'd have to listen to
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: to to hear the whole thing. I'm not not going
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to be able to go over what happened and and
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: uh what was discussed. So I would encourage everybody to
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: check out Paul's channel and check out his his x
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: account as well and give you a little more access there,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: and if you look him up, you should be able
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to find it pretty easily, because I ended up having
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: to do that because I couldn't remember the name of
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the channel after all the overtime in the last three
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: months about don't remember my name. So now I'm going
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: back a little bit on the video. We're going to
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: watch a little bit of what we watched at the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: end last week, and uh, I know we haven't gotten
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: extremely are on this, but it is this sort of
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: all goes together, so I kind of want you to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: hear it together this part, if that makes sense. I
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: don't want you to like have part of it left
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: behind in last week and not be immediately on your
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: mind when you hear the next part. So that's why
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I'm starting back a little bit. Anybody that has is
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: joining us from my invite on Paul's show, Definitely when
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I upload the video, you'll want to see the whole thing.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: But this is this part that's upcoming is really the
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: meat of this video, and there will be more to it,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: but my aha moment is in the middle of this.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: So although I think I already said aha in the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: video earlier, but let's take a look. The accountability gap
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: is natural, Okay. That means, to a degree it is
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: in women's nature to be less accountable than men and
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to focus on different considerations when they do exercise accountability.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: It's at least to some degree, a trait of female
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: psychology that manifests in a fixed, unlearned way, regardless of
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: cultural or other environmental changes. In other words, it's like
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: an instinct, or rather, accountability itself is the instinct and
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: it's both slightly stronger and more comprehensive in men. But
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: so I think this is pretty close to where I
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: stopped last week. And what I want to point out
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: about this is there was a not down, drag out
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: fight on X over whether gaynocentrism is biological or not,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and gynocentrism is based on cultural principles, right, Storge is
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: probably biological. There's probably an instinct to treat your family,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the people that you live with and the people that
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: you take care of and who take care of you,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: as a more special and important group of people than
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: strangers or even people you know but who aren't part
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: of your family. I don't think that that's taught culturally.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I think that's that's just other animals do that as well.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: That's just something that would evolve over time simply because
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: it is a survival strategy. But I don't think treating
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: women as if they're especially important in comparison to the
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: whole rest of the population is a good survival strategy.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I think that that's something that actually would cause more death,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and case in point, we do that today. We treat
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: women like they are of the utmost importance there rights
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Trump everybody else's rights. There, they're wants trump everybody else's rights.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Their fears trump everybody else's rights. They can steal through
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the government, and they can kill and get away with it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: And right now the population is kind of under a
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: threat of not expanding at a fast enough rate that
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: young people will be around to take care of old
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: people when they're too old to take care of themselves.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: And part of the reason for that is that three
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: out of every ten babies that are conceived worldwide right
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: now are being aborted. They're getting killed before they're born
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: by the mother's choice in elective abortions. That's not counting
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: abortions that are done to prevent the death of the mother,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: which those babies are going to die anyway. They only
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: do abortion to prevent the death of the mother if
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: it's too late or too early to save the baby.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Either the baby's already dead and from something and sepsis
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: is happening, or you can't make it to premature birth
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: before the baby's gonna die, and if you try, it's
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: also going to kill the mother, like maybe tubal pregnancies
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But in fact, it's all elective.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: It's all elective abortion based not on health concerns or
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: having been raped, which I would still personally call an
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: elective abortion. Even though you didn't elect to get raped,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: you're still electing to kill the child who didn't rape you.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: And it is all just a feminist choice, just a
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: women's choice. So guino centrism really isn't promoting life if
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: it has convinced women to do that, it's taken women in.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: It put women in a situation where instead of wanting
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: to promote life and wanting to take care of people
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: and wanting to help people, they're making the most selfish
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: choices they can and they're not getting involved with men.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: They're not getting married, they're not trying to be partners
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: with men. So I don't think that's a survival strategy.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I think that's a mistake. And if you look back
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: in history, everything that people talk about as guidocentrism is
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: focus on their family or focus on their children, and
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: you don't necessarily have to prioritize women to do those things.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: So I was on the side of guynocentrism is not
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: it's not natural, right story, gain is natural. Gyinocentrism is
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: a bastardization of that that prioritizes women instead of the
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: whole family. But what I'm about to explain here tells
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: a different story with regard to accountability and the accountability gap.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: And this is why it's not specifically connected or reliant
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: is a better term. It's connected, but it's not specifically
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: reliant on guyinocentrism. You could eliminate guinnocentrism entirely and there
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: would still be some accountability gap. And the reason is
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: about to uh to occur to play in the video
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: how and why? After all, personal accountability is a necessary
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: component of success in life. Characteristics like mindfulness, diligence, and
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: perseverance rely on it. Why would half of a species
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: that survives mainly due to its ability to outsmart nature
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: using those in similar characteristics be designed with weaker minds
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and less ability to exercise them. It sounds kind of
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: unreasonable to suggest that, merely by virtue of having an
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: any instead of an OUDI, women are just naturally a
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: bit off in the head. Sorry, ladies, curse of the
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: a DJ You get shafted in the brain department. Sucks
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: to be you, probably because that both is and is
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: not the case. Remember, personal agency is a person's control
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: over his own actions and his sense of connection to
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: their consequences. Personal accountability is ownership of that factor. Acceptance
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: that a person's control over his own actions makes him
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: responsible for them, and that sense of connection to their
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: consequences means accepting that the consequences of your own choices
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: are your fault and it's your responsibility to deal with them.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: If you make a decision and you take accountability for
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: that decision, you are taking on the responsibility to follow
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: through with it, even if having to do so becomes undesirable,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and you are taking a chance that if the outcome
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: is also undesirable, you will be guilty of causing that
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: consequence and it will be your responsibility to mitigate it.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: That guilt can be as simple as self criticism, or
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: it can involve others judging you, and even penalties should
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: your decision lead to consequences that affect another person. I
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: just want to point out how afraid feminists are of
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: being judged, like you can't even suggest that a behavior
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: is itself is not always good for women, not even
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: that it's a bad or immoral or harmful behavior. Just
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: women don't benefit from this behavior, and it might actually
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: be an unwise choice when women make these choices, and
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what it is you're talking about, doesn't
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: have to be sexual. It can be. But the minute
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: you say that any women who make those choices or
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: have made those choices and face some consequences and blame
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: them on somebody else, they come out of the woodwork
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: right to accuse you of misogyny and talk about how
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: you're just wanting to bash women, you're just wanting to
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: judge women. All it takes is to say something like,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: if you really want to ensure that your daughter's future
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: is going to be lucrative, that she's going to be
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: in a stable environment and everything, get her to start
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: a job in high school, save up some money, have
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: a down payment so she can get a house after
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: she has worked for you know, the last two years
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: of high school and maybe four years after that. And
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: the first thing that you get is why should women
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: be responsible for this? Why shouldn't this be something that
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the couple does together? Are you advocating dowry? It doesn't
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: even matter that it's not a sexual thing, right, You're
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: not suggesting, gosh, you should be careful who you sleep with,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: so you don't get an STI do that and you
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: really get lamb basted. It's kind of fun. Actually, this
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: is why our social media accounts are in danger. We
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: got another super chow. Let's see if I can get
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: my stupid. There we go discord window to open dark.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Kiki Mora says, if feminists believe society runs on misogyny,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: why don't they ever make misogynistic arguments for women's rights
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: on purpose? I mean so, I saw the other day
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: somebody was mocking the boys are stupid. Throw rocks at
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: them T shirt with a slogan feminists or stupid, throw
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: facts at them. It's about right. If they really though,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: if they really believed that society ran on misogyny, yeah,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: they would. They would make misogynistic arguments. They would do
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: whatever it took because they make a lot of money
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: on feminism, and so they would want law and policy
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to be exactly the way they want it, and they
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: would be willing to betray their whole belief system basically
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: as a means of getting it. Oh, that means personal
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: accountability is a type of personal risk. Aha. Say, there's
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: a lot of information long discussed in the men's rights
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: movement is the fact often noted in the writings of
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: evolutionary psychology researchers that likely because of the biological characteristics
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: that make human females smaller on average, less physically strong,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: and more vulnerable to physical threats, especially while pregnant women
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: are more risk averse than men, a characteristic that is
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: likely exacerbated by cultural norms and traditions that are more
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: restrictive and protective toward women than toward men. We talk
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: about it quite a bit. I've even described a related phenomenon,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: safety net addiction among women, in which the addict is
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: so caught up in her perceived need to avoid risk
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: that if there is potential for a safety net, she
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: won't even do normal things that don't require one unless
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: one is put into place, or she will give up
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: protections for her civil rights and rightful freedoms in order
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: to obtain safety nets, even if they're not really necessary,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: and she may demand you do as well. I'll say
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the worst part of this, right, that this behavior among
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: women with the safety nets, is that nine times out
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: of ten, the thing that they think is a safety
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: net that they are relying on that they think they
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: absolutely have to have, or they just can't handle life, right,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: They just can't do things without its detrimental It actually
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: holds them back. Safety nets are better, especially government funded
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: safety nets, but any type of any type of legislative
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: safety net, any type of charitable safety net, where you're
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: relying on handouts from somebody or you're relying on protections
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: from somebody else, what you're basically doing is reducing your
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: own capabilities.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: That's what they got wrong about the civil rights and
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: the gender stuff.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: They legislate everything.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and what you end up with then is you
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: have one portion of the population that produces wealth and
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: they get they get robbed essentially, like there's a there's
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: a very solid point to saying taxation is theft because
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: you're not allowed to say no. The money's taken without
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: your consent, just because you're cooperating at gunpoint.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: You know, did you guys going to walk? Then you
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: guys go hello.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: My mic went out, didn't it? Yeah, that's my computer microphone.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: That's not good. I didn't even move. Why is it
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: doing this? But essentially, yeah, the producing half of the
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: population or less than half really is getting robbed at
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: gunpoint under threat of uh state violence. Right to provide
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: these safety nets to the part portion of the population
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: that does not produce wealth and is a net drain.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: And uh in a lot of cases an example always
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna give you an example, right, I worked
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: at a gas station for about six years, and in
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: a convenience store. I worked with a lot of gls
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: that you know, different different employees came and when when
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I was there, and different management and everything. Most people
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: that work in a place like that worked there for
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: about six to maybe twenty four months, right, six months
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: to two years, and so I was a long timer.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: There was only one other person when I when I quit,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: there was only one other person there that had been
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: there for a longer time than me, and he was there.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: He was a lifer in there. In fact, he only
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: survived about six months after he retired. But in any case,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: these women that they would go to work there and
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: they'd worked there for those short amounts of time, Oh yes, hello,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: good mics here. But they would they would be on
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: some degree of welfare, usually food stamps, usually medicaid, something
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: called CHIP which is medicaid for your child. And uh,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: so they they would want to keep their hours low
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: enough that they would continue to qualify for their safety nets,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: because if you work a few hours of overtime here
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: and there, and you make a couple hundred dollars too
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: much once, or you make a dollar too much too frequently,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: they cut off everything. They don't step you down. You
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: get too high up in income and your your gross
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: becomes disqualifying, So you can in your income by like
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: ten to twenty bucks and lose hundreds to thousands of
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: dollars in benefits. So these are kind of these safety
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: nets are kind of designed to keep people dependent. There's
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: that gap you have to jump if you want to
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: get off of benefits and become an independent, self providing individual,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: and you can't do that at a gas station. You're
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: not going to by going from part time to full
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: time suddenly make enough money to get those benefits. And yeah,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Richard Pierre says, it's called the benefits cliff. That's one
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: name I've heard from it about it, or heard it
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: called by basically, but I've also heard it called the
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: benefits canyon because it's like you're trying to jump across
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: the Grand Canyon. And it's pretty much the same principle,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: because you would be on a cliff, and you can't
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: get across unless you significantly increase your situation. Now, a
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: lot of these gals, like if they get married and
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the person that they marry is you know, not divorced,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: not paying child support, not in a situation where his
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: money is all be being taken, then their income doubles
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: and suddenly everything's okay, they don't need it anymore.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: But the other thing that happens is if you go
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: on temple temporarily, like you know, we were talk to
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: that once. Because I lost a job unexpectedly, they replaced
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: me at the university where I was teaching photography with
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: one of my students, and and didn't tell me, like
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: she had graduated and now she has a degree. Well,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I only have, you know, thirty years of experience in
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: the field, which isn't the same as having a degree
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: in something other than photography in the university system. And
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: so the day that I was supposed to start the
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: next quarter of classes, I found out that actually I
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: wasn't teaching that class anymore. So I got, we got
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: we went on food stamps. Because I talked to my parents,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what am I gonna do? This is a
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: really serious situation. We don't have an extra penny, and
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: now I just lost the equivalent of a part time job.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: And that was the suggestion, talk to your manager about
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: getting on full time. If you can't get it right away,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: go on food stamps and keep pressing, or find another job,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: and then just go in and tell them you don't
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: need them anymore when you get that income replaced. So
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: that's what I did, and I guess we were on
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: about four months. It took about four months, and then
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: they gave me full time, started training me for lower management.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: And so I went into the office with my new
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: paperwork that you know, here's my new income. I'm off.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I know this is going to just qualify me. Thanks
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: for the help. And the lady that was my caseworker
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: says to me, you know, if you divorce your husband,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: you could keep these benefits. That was her solution. Like
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: this wasn't a problem, but she had a solution for
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: it anyway, Like I was happy I had replaced the income.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: We were back in the situation where we were in
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: before I lost the job, didn't need food stamps. We're
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: all good. Oh well, you can still get them if
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: you divorce your husband. Like, what the fuck is wrong
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: with you? Lady? A lot of women would take her
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: up on that. It would totally take her up on that,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: because it's a safety net. Right, Oh well, if we
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: have these, maybe I can put some money away, Maybe
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: I can pay ahead on the electric bill, maybe I can.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: So what if we get divorced on paper? And I've
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: known people that have done that, They have gotten divorced
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: on paper, they continue to live together and they collect
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: those benefits. Very crazy, But like I said.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to sell you a used nail.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Yep, yep. It's very upsetting though, to have somebody do
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: that and you're sitting there thinking, are you kidding me? This?
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: This is what you think is a good idea. But yeah,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: safety nets very dangerous. As soon as you get addicted
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: to something like that, the whole idea of losing it
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: becomes terrifying. I wanted nothing more than to never have
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: to go into that building again, never have to think
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: about relying on money that I didn't earn, right, or
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: that that my family didn't earn, and uh that I
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: wasn't part of making possible to earn like that just
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: would be absolutely horrible. But most people, most women, and
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: you give them an opportunity to have somebody else covering
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: their bases for them, they take it and it never
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: occurs to them that if it becomes unreliable, they're screwed.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: We got Roboto one two four five sixty seven gave
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: us a dollar and said, only thirty years, Hannah, if
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: you if only you had forty years as to photographer,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: as such things as, uh, just three days away from retirement.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't actually plan on retiring. That's just
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: not it's some bad things are gonna happen, have to
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: happen in order for me to decide to retire. I
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: like doing too much, doing stuff too much. That's just
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: not gonna work. Mister Nube said it. Gave us five
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: dollars and said, God, college had men. People are such
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: drama queens. I've had friends that they've done similar nonsense too. Yeah,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: and this was I guess this was political against the
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: person that hired me and or the person that ran
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: the department prior actually not the person that hired me.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: The person that hired me is the person that fired
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: all of the people that were working under the department
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: that she was mad at. She hired me and she
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: just forgot so But that's women for you, right, So
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: there you go. But yeah, women in their safety and
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: ned addiction because women fear risk, and that doesn't mean
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: all risk, right, women will risk their entire future for
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: an organs, But they won't. They won't try to jump
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: the h the benefits cliff. They won't try to get
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: to the other side of that canyon because they're scared.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: They're afraid what happens if they What if I lose?
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: What if I lose? It's not like you can't apply again.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: In nineteen ninety nine, JP Barnes and group published a
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: meta analysis of one hundred and fifty studies in which
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: the risk taking tendencies of male and female participants were compared.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Their report was titled Gender Differences in Risk Taking a
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: meta Analysis. In it, the researchers stated their conclusion that
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: gender differences in risk taking exist and are proven beyond
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: the conventional cutoff for small effects, but do vary according
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: to context and age level. They noted that in one
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: of their analyzes, they showed that males took more risks
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: even when it was clear that it was a bad
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: idea to take the risk, while the safe so I
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: couldn't find a better picture for that, just wanted to
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: say that that was a bad idea right there. Human
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: analysis revealed that women and girls seem to be disinclined
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: to take risks, even in fairly innocuous situations or when
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: it was a good idea to take the risk. They
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: followed it up by noting that this indicates that males
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: tend to encounter negative consequences more often than they should,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: and it also means that females tend to encounter rewards
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: less often than they should. And that I think is
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: the gist of why women aren't CEOs and stuff like
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: that as often as men. They don't take the risks
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: it takes to get up each step of that ladder.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I suspect that we have just made note of an
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: underlying factor in gender disparities that feminists have spent the
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: last one hundred years calling discrimination against women. In twenty
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: twenty three, another meta analysis done by RVV titled Gender
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Differences in Risk Taking Behaviors, A systematic review and meta
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: analysis of the Domain specific Risk Taking Scale, evaluated twenty
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: four studies and founded among the five distinct domains used
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: in the domain specific risk taking scale used to measure
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: willingness to take risks. Men displayed higher willingness than women
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: on four of the five domains financial, health and safety, recreational,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: and ethical, while in the domain no social risk, there
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: was mostly no significant difference, though in some individual studies
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: women scored higher in that domain. So what that kind
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: of means is when you look at risks that are
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: involved in, say switching jobs, when you're in a situation
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: where you're spinning your wheels, your circumstances are stagnating, you're
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: not getting promoted, and you want to get promoted. You're
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: not learning anything new, and you want to learn something new.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Men will remember I was looking for a job when
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I found this one. Women will fight the system. They
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: will fight to stay there. They will fight with people
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: about being promoted. They won't leave, and they'll complain instead
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of complaining, but no leaving, just fighting. And
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: so you end up in a situation where if a
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: man cannot get where he wants to go where he is,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: he finds a place where he can. And if a
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: woman cannot get where she wants to go where she is,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: she gets frustrated and angry and starts complaining right, threatening lawsuits,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: go into human resources, making allegations against the men she
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: works with. Stuff like that. Whereas you know, if a
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: woman thinks she has a guarantee something to gain, she'll
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: estimate wrong. Right, Well, I don't have to work if
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be with this guy. I don't have
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: to work if I get this or that. Same thing.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: With gambling, you find that there's very different habits, And
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: the next bit of research coming up will sort of
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: explain that meta regression showed these patterns held regardless of
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: publication year, or average participant age. The phenomenon is so
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: widely accepted as fact that there are also studies on
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: why it occurs, rather than whether it occurs. In two
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: thousand and six, CEE. R. Harrison Group published Gender Differences
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: and Risk Assessment Why do women take fewer risks than men?
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: In this study, six fifty seven participants assess their likelihood
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: of engaging in various risky activities relating to four different domains,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: and reported their perceptions of probability of negative outcomes, severity
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: of potential negative outcomes, and enjoyment expected from the risky activities.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: The researchers reported that men reported higher likelihood in gambling, health,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: and recreational domains, while women stated that they perceived higher
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: probability and severity of negatives and lower enjoyment. In other words,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: women feared risk taking more, and that fear made them
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: like it less. Critiques are So that's another aspect of it.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: If you anticipate that it's going to be fun for
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: you to take the risk, or that you're going to
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: get some enjoyment out of it, say with gambling, and
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: you can do that with other things, for instance extreme sports.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Obviously you know this. This looks more like an ai image,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: but it could be a staged image. I don't know
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: that person would actually climb all the way out onto
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: a small rock like that, but if somebody didn't do it,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't be a woman. Not very often, because it's
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: too scary.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: I can think of one risk that modern women especially
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: take rather a lot, and it's their choice of sexual partner.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: Although I have to wonder what the rewards are from
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: from always wanting a chiseled convict with seven children from
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: seven different women.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: The challenge, the challenge of getting him to commit possibly, but.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: They must know that's a fool's folly. But I guess
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: they might be fouls and and maybe it's sort of
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: bragging rights to their fellow modern women. Look how dangerous
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: my husband is, but he he loves me. He's never
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: done anything to me. What's that shiny you got there?
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: That's I walked into a door and so on, to be.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: The beast thing all over again.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: M Yeah, it's just it's which goes to show you
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: women do have the capacity for risk taking, but it's
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: sort of narrowed to this one category that doesn't even
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: make sense. And it's probably nothing to do with testosterone either,
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: or it might be because women do have testoster into a
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: degree and maybe that's the only sort of way it
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: affects them, or maybe or maybe this is a risk
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: that they take because of estrogen.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say estrogen as well.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: I'm not a real doctor, blah blah.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's hormonal or not. The thing
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: that I would look at is it's not that women
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: are one hundred percent risk averse and men are zero
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: percent risk averse. And it's not that you look at
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: a group of men in a group of women that
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: their risk aversion will all be identical to other people
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: in their gender group. It's that if you drew two
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: lines representing the spectrum of risk aversion that women fall
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: along and the spectrum of risk aversion that men follow along,
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: you would find that the men's line starts and ends
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: at higher points than the women's line. They are less
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: risk averse overall, and as a group, there will be
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: some women who are I'm sorry, they're more risk averse overall,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: and as a group, men's risk taking will be higher,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: women's risk version will be higher. And you know, men
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: or men are more likely too to have successes because
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: of that, but they're also more likely to have failures.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: It's a lot like if you look at the spectrum
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: of intelligence, you'll see that men and geniuses are more
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: likely to be men, and people with severe intellectual disabilities
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: are more likely to be men, whereas people in the
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: middle are more likely to be female.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Just a little bit, we have more men than we
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: do women in my face sense, huh so.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Yep, that's everywhere I work with people with disabilities, people
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: with intellectual disabilities who are adults, and men do outnumber
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: the women in although it's it's not extreme, but it
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: is noticeable.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: And the women that we do get they tend to
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: have boyfriends already as well, so.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Yep, yep. And by the way, with the risk taking,
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: it's it's also different, right. Women will take those social risks, right,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: They'll they'll do socially daring things like wearing an outfit
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: that is uh, maybe not the latest fashion to a party,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: but is a daring outfit to get attention.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Well and why after Labor Day?
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, or or say being the first person to
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: bring back bell bottoms or god for bee, the bubble skirt.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: I hope those things never come back.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: They were so uncomfortable the first I'll be the first
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: girl to read the Twilight books before they came, before
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: they became popular.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, when you talked about fashion, I thought you were
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: going to talk about a lot of women walk the
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: streets of very dangerous urban areas at night, dressed like
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: prostitutes and and and they don't see the risk because
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: because well, men should just control themselves, including all all
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: the men that they've brought over from distant planetary biomes
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: where they have very different customs.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: And.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Make that risk. But they're only thirty to thirty five
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: percent of extreme sports participation.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, Richard, I will say, you can say men
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: bought for from Pandora.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, so women women will they'll take risks
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: that that don't necessarily have a good payoff, right, you
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: don't really gain anything from risk and getting mugged.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: Or worse, ye know.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: Or and I suppose they're social gain for being the
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: daring person. That brings back the the hymn line of
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: twenty years ago that people haven't worn in twenty years
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: or whatever.
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: But I imagine because when people tell them they're being
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: risky this like I said that, no I'm not. It's
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: meant it's men's fault. All of this, all of this
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: risk you speak of, it should should be placed at
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: the foot of men, and how they should just be
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: taught not to rape. And then we say, yes, we
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: already teach them not to rape, but sub them. Which
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: there is a lot of people when you're talking busy
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: like city centers at night, because you see a hundred
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: people on the street, one of them actually more since
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: part of the third world is going to be that
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: risk factor. But then they're like, well, why why on
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: the decent men of our own culture protecting us from
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: from those men and expecting no reward from doing so,
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: and we keep and we keep saying, well, if you
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: can dress less provocatively, no, I'll tell you is besides
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: it's yeah, it's it's they're being incredibly risky when they
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: do this, but they don't see it as risky because
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: they have no set They have no sense of agency
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: or accountability or asponssibility or all those buzzwords that we
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: like over here.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: You know, I think also a lot of women don't
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: think ahead about stuff like that, Like they they see
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: it as a daring social risk. They don't see it
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: as a physical risk. And the minute that it becomes
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: a physical risk, then they start throwing blame. They start
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: lamenting what happened to them. They're upset and scared and everything.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: But it's too late, right, But it starts even in childhood.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: It's it's so ingrained that like I was the only
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: girl I knew growing up, even at school where there
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: were lots of other girls, not just in my neighborhood
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: where they're the only girls to my age, are only
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: like two or three other girls my age. But it
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: was the only girl I knew that would pick up bugs.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: The other girls were they would reach for the bug,
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: right and if it moves.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Bugs, Yes, insects like I used to like to go fishing,
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: and crickets make good bait because they swim and it
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: attracts the fish's attention.
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: And of course earthworms are good too. I'm also the
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: only person I know that aid in earthworm to prove
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: an argument, So I'm a little bit different. I'm not
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: just different from the girls. I'm not like the boys either,
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: right to prove an argument anyway, but not the only
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: person to know. Lots of people have survived on those
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: and I knew that. But you know, I had a
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: friend trying to help me catch crickets one time, and
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: she couldn't because she couldn't touch them without killing them.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: She was too jerky about it, Like I'm clumsy now.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: I won't handle bugs now because I'm afraid I'll hurt them,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: But I used to be able to just pick them
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: up and examine them and stuff. If they bite you,
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: most bugs don't do any harm. It might hurt or
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: it might itch, but it's not that big of a deal.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Only mosquitoes and two breeds of spiders should be left,
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: really really left alone in my area where you know,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to run across a bunch of other
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: things that are going to cause severe reactions. It just
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: might suck a little bit for a while, right, But
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: you got to learn something. And boys will do that.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: Boys will play with ants, boys will play with grasshoppers
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: and crickets. They'll play with pill bugs. Pill bugs are
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: fun because you flick them with your finger and they
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: go rolling. You know, those little roly pulleys. Right, they'll
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: play with all that stuff and worms and dirt and everything.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: And boys don't have problems putting the worm on the
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: fish hook when you're fishing, or the cricket. They don't
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: get upset that the cricket's gonna die and might be
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: in pain and stuff. But I discovered that I can't
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: go fishing, couldn't go fishing with other little girls. We
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: just could not do that together because they couldn't catch bait,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: and if they did catch the bait, they couldn't put
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: it on the hook. So it's even in elementary school,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: you just can't. The other girls wouldn't catch kraateddias by
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: sticking their finger down and letting it get a hold
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: of it either, Like that's the easiest way. All you
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: have to do is bait them with your finger and
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: they will pinch it and then you could pick it up,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: and you know, the hard part is getting it to
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: let go. But they're like little mini lobsters. They're fascinating
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: look at. And so we ran around the canal and
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: played with crawdads. But the girls that I was friends
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: with would not do that. So so little girls, even
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: you know, they aren't risk takers the way that you
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: know little boys are. And little girls that do act
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: like that are more likely to be unusual gender, atypical, autistic,
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: you know, something like that, not your average little girl.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: And then when we grow up, you know, girls have
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: a totally different attitude to where giving up their safety nets,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: whereas boys they want to explore everything. Studies showing more
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: risk willingness among men and more risk aversion among women
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: note that while the differences can't be ignored, they're not
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: dramatic evidence of differences regarding specific risks. Backs that up
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: both sexes do take risks, the gap is more of
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: an average among a spectrum. Gambling demonstrates this. For example,
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: the practice attracts both sexes, and despite the fact that
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: it involves risk of loss, it is considered a fun
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: recreational activity among both sexes. However, lucyt Tran MSc and
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: group screened three thousand, six hundred ninety two reports with
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: three hundred and eighty representative unique samples in sixty eight
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: countries and territories and stated in their I just have
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: to say, that's a lot of reading that had to
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: take them a long time, or they had to have
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: a program, computer program helping them with keywords. Just point
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: that out, because that's that's a shit ton of research.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: Report titled the Lens of Gambling and Problematic Gambling a
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Systemic Review in meta analysis that while nearly half of
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: adults globally have gambled about forty six point two percent,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: rates of gambling were higher in men about forty nine
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: point one percent than in women about thirty seven point
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: four percent. The lower prevalence among females than males was
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: not just an overall gambling but showed as a pattern
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: whether among adults or adolescents, and whether examining any risk
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: gambling or problematic gambling, so you get that. What that
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: research showed was that there was no level of risk
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: in gambling where women were as high as or higher
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: than male gamblers, but women do and engage in every
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: type of gambling. They just some levels. They may be
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: a little there may be a bigger gap, but there's
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: no there's no no level that eliminates the gap. But
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: there was no area of gambling that the study found
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: to be exclusively male. Women are more risk averse, but
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: not so risk averse that none of them will take
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: that risk, and many will do it for fun. We
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: know that personal accountability is a risk. It's a labor risk,
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: it's a self image risk, it's a social risk. It
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: could even be a serious economic risk, especially if one
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: is taking accountability for one's work life balance or one's
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: sexual choices through and of course that happens to men,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: not necessarily so much to women because women don't have
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: to take accountability. Men don't get a choice. If a
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: woman says she's going to raise the child, a man
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: gets stuck with the child support bill. So women say
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: sex is a bigger risk for women then for men,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: because women have to go through childbirth, But the truth
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: is that women don't. They can abort, and even if
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: they go through childbirth, the risk of death in childbirth
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: is incredibly low. It's lower than the risk of death
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: in the workplace, and men have to work for decades
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: at least two to get out from under a child
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: support that sometimes, if the system is particularly harsh toward
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: a man, he might have to work longer. For instance,
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: in Canada, and I know in some parts of the
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: United States, you can have a debt obligation imposed based
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: on what you're making at a particular time, and if
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: that income dries up, it doesn't matter whether the conditions
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: were under your control or not. Your employe could go
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: out of business and the judge would say, well, you
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: better replace that income, because it's that past income shows
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: that you can make that much money. Your industry could
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: dry up, which can happen. I think like photography, for instance,
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: is not as lucrative as it was thirty years ago.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: It's a lot more accessible to the public, a lot
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: more people have fail safes that make it harder for
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: them to not get the pictures they want to fail
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: at photography, and so if somebody was a photographer, their
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: income could dry up really fast and there's no control.
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: That's how they got the folly entirerease because they fully
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: was the most sitcom in the US and the judge said,
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: he's got to give most of his wages while for
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: Mesicon and the Sycom got canceled and they can't go
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: back to Canada yep. And safing with Stafing with tibees
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: as well. He will send movies and stuff and those
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: movies dried up and he's still got up. Wait to
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: pay now because his kids ten eighteen. But at the time,
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: you still have to pay that amount of child support.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Well, this is the this is the other part of that.
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: So you're on child support obligation. And let's say the
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: judge decided that you owe X amount per month every
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: month until the child is eighteen, and you're paying less
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: than that. Right, it doesn't go away. It's in arrears.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: So if you don't pay off that total by the
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: time the child is eighteen, you still have to continue
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: paying on it. The state keeps track of that debt
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: and they will continue to take your money until that
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: is down to a zero, and they can incarcerate you
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: and make it impossible for you to earn that money
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: and still take that. Let's see, we have mister, we
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: have Roboto one, two, three, four, five, six seven gave
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: us a dollar instead. Were you aware that child marriage
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: is legal in Ohio, as well as the fact that
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: there was a bill to outline instead politicians said no
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: to doing so, thought thought opinions. So, no, child marriage
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: is not legal in Ohio. The age of consent in
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: Ohio is sixteen, and uh, there's not there's not a
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: law that permits marriage to occur between people who are
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: not old enough to sign a contract. You actually have
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: to get permal parental permission to get married if you
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: were under the age of eighteen, and there has to
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: be a really good reason for it. And if anybody
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: has an objection, the court system will get involved. So
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know who told you that child marriage is
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: just flat out legal in Ohio. I'm in Ohio, I
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: live in Ohio, and I've had friends experience this particular issue.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: They did not get married, but you know, they wanted
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: to and they couldn't because they were under age. So
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: this is not this is not true. That's it's not opinion,
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: it's fact. It is not true.
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: What you're.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: Promoting with that super child is not correct. So and yeah,
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: I hear stuff like that about Ohio allotizes recent news
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: story that's probably like the recent news story of the
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: ten year old that needed an abortion, you know, that disappeared.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: And it turns out that the reason that the ten
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: year old needed an abortion was because she was taken
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: from her country, brought to the United States by a coyote,
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: and then the Biden administration deposited her with another illegal immigrant,
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: and then that illegal immigrant allowed another illegal immigrant to
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: rape her, probably for money. So when you say this
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: is a recent story in the news, you have to
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: watch out for what the news media is telling you
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: because they're probably covering some things up that if you
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: know those important details, you find out that what they're
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: telling you is true about the state, isn't. It's false framing.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: It's like they used to say it was legal until
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three in Michigan to rape your wife. Well
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: it wasn't actually, because during that time period, the crime
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: of rape did require that you had to be overcome.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: It had to be against your will. It couldn't just
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: be without your verbal consent, and in order for that
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: to happen, somebody would have to engage in battery. Battery
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: was illegal, so to get to the point of raping
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: your wife, you would have to violate the laws against
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: beating your wife, and therefore it was not legal to
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: rape your wife in Michigan. But feminists will still tell
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: you it was because there wasn't a law that specified,
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: you know, that rape would rape in a marital situation.
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: From the stereotypes you hear, you would think Ohio is
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: the south of the North. By that, I mean like
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: the hillbilly state of the North.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: Or depends on what kind of part of Ohio you're in, all.
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: That Michigan is the south of the North, or that
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: Wisconsin is the south. All the Yankee states are kind
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: of vying to not be the south of the North
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: because because because you know, the North still has this
• 56:27
  Speaker 4: stereotype that everyone in the South is a hillbilly, and
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: that's not quite the case. You'll just have different kinds
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: of degenerates, shall we say, well, just different accents of
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: degenerates to be honest.
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: And the thing is, feminist sources will say stuff like
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: that about every state that doesn't have specificity in the law, right,
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: But it doesn't have to have specificity in the law.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: It's very much like saying there's no law against a
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: seven year old driving a car. Okay, there is no
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: specificity in the law that says seven year olds in
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: particular may not drive cars. It doesn't say that anywhere
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: in any law in the entire United States. But that
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: doesn't make it legal for a seven year old to
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: get behind the wheel of a car and start driving
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: if they can reach the pedals. You have to have
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: a license to drive a car. So feminists will frame
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: stuff like that, Oh, it's totally legal for a seven
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: year old to drive a car. No it's not. Well,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: there's no law that says a seven year old can't
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: drive a car. Yes there is. It's the law that
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: says you have to have a license, and you can't
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: get a license until you're sixteen. In some states now
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: you can't get a license until you're eighteen. Seven is
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: younger than that. Therefore, you get caught driving a car
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: as a seven year old, you're caught driving without a license.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: That's illegal.
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: And there's all manner of obsolete laws that are still
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: technically on the books. A lot of people do this
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: when when they play games of truth and lies, they say,
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: in such and such American state, it's illegal to carry
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: a salmon on your left shoulder that after dark, unless
• 58:27
  Speaker 4: you're a sheriff or some shit, and then you look
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: into it and yes, it is on the books because
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: it's a law. It's some obscure law from the fucking
• 58:34
  Speaker 4: eighteen hundreds or something, and it's never ever enforced. But
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: like jaywalking is officially a law, but no one ever
• 58:42
  Speaker 4: gets done for it. We have similar laws all over
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: Europe as well. Yes, the famous one that you're allowed
• 58:49
  Speaker 4: to shoot a Welshman with a crossbow if you're within
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: the walls of Yorkshire Cathedral or some shit. Yeah, there's
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: just a lot of laws that have never been officially
• 58:59
  Speaker 4: repealed because they're just so down silly.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But point being, when you read an article like that,
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: always always be skeptical, especially if they're trying to raise outrage.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: How many eight year olds do you think get married
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: every year in Ohio? Because I can tell you the answer.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: I can tell you the exact number of eight year
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: olds that get married in Ohio annually. Zero zero is
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: the number. It does not happen. They might play wedding,
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: but they don't have weddings, so it's it's a situation
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: where other things prohibit it from happening. There doesn't have
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: to be a stipulation specifically that you cannot marry an
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: eight year old because other things prohibit an eight year
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: old for marrying from being married. Throughout history, women's accountability
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: for their work, lifestyle, and sexual choices, even when has
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: been higher than it is now, has always been different
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: from that of men by necessity, because women bear children
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: then have to be there to nurse and nurture them,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: even when somebody has to go out and hunt the mammon. Historically,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: that somebody has been the child's father, and historically it
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: has been the mother's primary job to make sure that
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: his children are fed, protected and cared for while he
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: has gone, and that his home environment is a haven
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: of comfort and security for him to return to after
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: the hunt. They are probably feminists somewhere off in the distance,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: screaming their eyeballs out, because I said that this is
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: what women evolved for. We evolved to oversee the family,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: not over and above the father, right, not over and
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: above the husband, but to ensure that while he's thinking
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: about things that we didn't evolve to deal with, we're
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: making sure he doesn't have to think about the things
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: we did evolve to deal with. Regardless of whether the
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: mammoth is an actual animal, or a paycheck a man
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: brings home from his job. In a discussion on x
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: dot com this week, the final key on the real
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: key ring dropped into place. Commenter Dray mcfluv posted an
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: image of a translation from the Book of Changes or
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: ea Ching, an ancient Chinese text used for guidance, decision making,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: and understanding of the natural cycles of life. I debated
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: explaining that, and then I thought, you know what, there
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: might be consumers who don't know. This text operates on
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: the philosophy that the universe is constantly changing and everything
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: is connected. It said six in the second place means
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: contemplation through the crack of the door. Furthering for the
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: perseverance of a woman. Through the crack of the door,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: one has a limited outlook. One looks outward from within.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: Contemplation is subjectively limited. One tends to relate everything to
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: oneself and cannot put oneself in another's place and understand
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: his motives. This is appropriate for a good housewife, it
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: is not necessary for her to be conversant with the
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: affairs of the world. But for a man who must
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: take active part in public life, such a narrow egotistical
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: way of contemplating things is of course harmful. It so
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: a thousand years ago they knew women were narcissistic. That's
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: what that tells you, because that's at a thousand years old.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 4: Whoever came up with that h ofm an eve kind
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: of figured out.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: Yep, they knew that. They knew women were solipsistic, and
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: they knew women were narcissistic. And they they said, you know,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: this is if all you're you're focused on, if all
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: you're responsible for is what takes place within the walls
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: of your home and on the on your land, that
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: your husband and your family is fed, that your home
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: is a safe haven and a haven of comfort and
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: restoration of the spirit. If that's all you have to do,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: then you don't have to be.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: All knowing.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: You don't have to be involved in every little thing.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: You don't have to spy on the neighbors, you don't
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: have to keep up with the news. You don't need
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: any of that because what you're dealing with is in
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: that small setting, you can get away with not caring
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: about the rest of the world because the rest of
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: the world doesn't come into contact with you. But it's
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: different if you're going out and working, if you're in
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: the military, if you're doing business across the world, and
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: things like that. Suddenly you have to not be solipsistic.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: So for thousands of years of human evolution, women didn't
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: have to not be solipsistic, women didn't have to not
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: be narcissistic. And now all of a sudden, women are
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: in men's sphere of everything. Right, I am right now,
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: based on what our listening metrics have said in the past,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: talking to people in every country on this side of
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: the Atlantic Ocean, in several countries in Europe, in some
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: countries in Africa, uh, and a few I'm also talking
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: to a few people who are in Japan and some
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: people who are in Korea.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: I know, I don't know if I'm reaching anybody in
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: China anymore, but in historically I have looked into what
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: where we reach, and and so I know that things
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: that I have said have reached the ears of individuals
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: in Zimbabwe, in Brazil and Iceland. It's very strange to
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: know that, right, especially as a woman, especially as a
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: non anchor news anchor. I am not on any big
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: television anything. So we're in the same spheres as men.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: Women can't afford to be solipsistic anymore, and men cannot
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: afford for women to be solipsistic anymore. But that is
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: how we evolved, and that is how women became risk
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: averse than women's nature to not want to expand too far,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: and we we won't make any fat jokes about that.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: I have expanded more than my fair share. Anyway.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: You just did another one.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, Oh it's it's an impulse control issue.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: And yes, that was another one. We'll just move on.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: Struck me how this points out that one's most effective
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: and efficient contemplative perspective is determined in large part by
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: one's spectrum and scope of responsibilities. One's ability to take
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: risks is also determined in large part by one's spectrum
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: and scope of responsibilities. So I'm going to repeat that, yeah,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: not quite far back that yeah, that uh there it
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: is hopefully it's yeah, that's too far all right. Plating
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: things is of course harmful. It struck me how this
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: points out that one's most effective and efficient contemplative perspective
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: is determined in large part by one's spectrum and scope
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: of responsibilities. This is a big deal to realize, not
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: because it wasn't already floating around in my head and
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: just you know, it was and it just sort of
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: crystallized in words there. But the things that you're going
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: to understand as are the things that you've taken responsibility
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: for because you do the work to understand them. If
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: you haven't taken responsibility for something, you don't really have
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: to spend a lot of time examining it, you can.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: You know, people do that with hobbies as well. Yep, sorry,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: I forgot Australia. That was that is that crafeous And
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: we do have a lot of people that listen to
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: us in Australia. But the thing is, you know, people
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: will tell you what their profession is like with their
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: job is like, and there will be people that will argue, no, no, no,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: it's like this, they don't do that job. The people
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: that you got to listen to are the ones that
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: actually do that job most of the time. And the
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: reason is because since they're taking responsibility in that area,
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: since they have responsibility in that area, they don't get
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: a choice to not know things, and they can't just
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: talk shit. If they do, they end up creating problems
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: for themselves and for their job. So this is pretty
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: much the basis of expertise, right, somebody that's that's more
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: trusted to discuss something because that's an area of responsibility
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: for them, that they have spent a great deal of
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: time responsible for that area. I would rather be told
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: how to fly a plane by a pilot than say,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: by somebody who did some of the programming on a
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: flight simulator.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 4: And it's also why parents, when they become parents, usually
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: not always, but very often move sort of right wood
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 4: along the spectrum. And not that I want to bring
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 4: everything down to that spectrum, but when it when, when
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 4: when you discover what it's like to become responsible for
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 4: other lives, that's you know, that's that's when people grow
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 4: this whole other lobe in their in their conscience, if
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 4: you will. It sort of relates to that quote that's
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 4: often apocryphally attributed to Winster Churchill. A man who is
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 4: not a liberal when when he is young, has no
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 4: he is not a conservative when he's older has no brain.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 4: But it sort of goes deeper than that, and it
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 4: can be made more concise than that. We are born
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 4: into the extreme left, and if we are lucky or
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 4: or well, rather, if we are responsible, we we we
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 4: drift right woods as we as we learn more about
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 4: the world. And again this this comes down to the
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 4: to the left right spectrum, which I generally find reductive
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 4: and unhelpful, but it does say a lot when when
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 4: people will when people are born, they they have nothing
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 4: but their own needs in mind. And and as as
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 4: as as they grow up and and not just become parents,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 4: when when when when they develop the various loads on
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 4: their back that life comes with, they sort of they
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 4: they grow out of this of this childish I don't
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 4: I don't even want to call it idealism. It's just
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 4: it seems to be the natural state of of of
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 4: children to just go where I want I need, by
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 4: the way everyone should share unless I want something, and
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 4: then where I want I need. And so it's nature
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 4: has has always made it necessary for people to grow
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 4: out of that ship. And people did grow out of
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 4: that ship because they had to. But as as we
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 4: became so much more decadent, largely because of the of
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 4: the labor saving devices we've sort of come across that
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 4: have have have replaced various of these responsibilities, we've we've
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 4: found ourselves surrounded by more and more people who stay
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 4: in that embryonic lava stage, you know, the fucking caterpillars,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 4: and more and more of those caterpillars were put in
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 4: charge of things just by having never grown out of
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 4: that childlike state. The adults they can use adult words,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 4: these fancy series of syllables that they learn in university,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 4: but they're still just toddlers at heart. And that faction
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 4: of society has grown with every new revolution, to be honest,
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 4: not just the industrial one, but the agricultural one before it,
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 4: and the technological one after it. And we, and I
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 4: mean we do have mechanisms in place to stop these
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 4: child adults for one of a better phrase, what we
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 4: call man babies when men do it, and what I
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 4: suppose we would call women babies when women do it,
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 4: and it is women who do it mostly. Yeah, we've
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 4: we we've just been sleep walked into this society where
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 4: we're being led by people with the moral mental network
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 4: of a child because they've never had to grow out
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 4: of it, because they've they've they've never really had responsibilities,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 4: but they've been given power by by by by their predecessors.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 4: And this is why I keep saying peak woke was
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 4: was not four years ago or eight years ago. It
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 4: wasn't even yesterday. Peak woke is always today and tomorrow,
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 4: because it keeps getting worse because there's no there's no
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 4: mechanism in place to stop childish people from replacing adult morality,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 4: adult responsibility with gimmes, with with with, I didn't do nothing,
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 4: and gimme And yeah, the Overton window has been pushed
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 4: to such an absurd place that that anyone who isn't
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 4: a walking todd Is is a bigger and a racist
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 4: and a misogynist and all this, And yeah, I I
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 4: think I explained more than I'm capable of explaining right now.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people get to the point where their their emotional
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: self is so much bigger than their rational self that
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: they can't even begin to conceive of adulthood, you know.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: And one of the things that you know, I kind
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: of identified growing up, difference between an adult and a
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: child is deliberateness, something I mentioned when I was when
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: I was talking to Paul last night, although I don't
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: think I related it specifically to adulthood. But my dad
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: used to talk about signs of strength, and you know,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: people are always real men this and real men that,
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: real men blah blah, blah, And most of the time
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: it's real men are self sacrificing in this way or
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: that way. Real men have more self control than everybody
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: else in this way or that way, and so on.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: Dad didn't use the phrase real men because all adult
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: males who are not imaginary are real men, right, even
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: if they go by a character name. Haul Cogan was
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: a real man. You could you could meet him, you
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: could go places and see him, and he was there, right,
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: even if he had a different real name. He was
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: an actual, real human being.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: Uh, Superman is not a real man because he's he's
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: a character. There are people who play Superman. But but
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: but yeah, Superman just in comics and movies and stuff.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: So you can't go find Superman right now. Well you
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: can't go find whole COVID right now, but you can
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: probably find his grave. But in any case, the point
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: was he didn't like that term, so he talked about
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: signs of strength, and signs of strength were not about
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: stereotypical masculinity. They were about deliberateness and knowing what you
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: have control over in your environment and using that control
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: to the benefit of yourself and the people around you,
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: and not to their detriment. So he would say things like,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: strong men do not slam doors, they shut them. Shutting
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: the door is a deliberate act. It is deliberately done
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: in that manner to avoid damaging the door and disturbing
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: the people around you. You're not throwing yourself around, you're
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: not showing temper and so on. And it was that
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: way that that discussion was that way with everything, and
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: it was something to teach us growing up.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: He would not pull any punches on that with me,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: and he kept reminding me that girls can be strong,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: and it's weak to throw yourself around. It's strong to
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: deliberately control your own actions. And that was the thing
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: that I had a hard time with growing up. So
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: he focused on that a lot with me. A lot
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: of a lot of people maybe don't sit around and
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: think of what it is that makes you an adult,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: but I did, And I think that's probably the biggest
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: identifying factor. Women have a tendency to just flit through
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: life like butterflies. Oh I think, slap away over here
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: a little bit, and I'll flap away over there a
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: little bit. Oh no, I'm caughting a spider web. Somebody
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: helped me but they don't consider their actions. They're not
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: They just go the way the wind blows them. They're
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: not trying deliberately to go from point A to point
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: B where in a way that they consider the factors
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: that might affect their trip and try to mitigate danger
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: and try to maximize their potential for success. It's just like, oh,
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: I think I'll go from point A to point B,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: you know jump. Oh No, I fell off a cliff.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: And I say this as somebody who nearly fell off
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: an eighty foot cliff trying to take a picture of
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: the side of the mountain when I was kidd You know,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: my dad was there, so I'm here. My foot was
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: all all the way off. When I felt Dad's arm
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: go around my I got the lecture of a lifetime,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: which was fair because I almost killed myself. But I
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: stuff like that all the time when I was a
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: kid and everything in the world is trying to kill you.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: You don't have to do the job for that. Okay, Yeah,
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: that was in Ohio too, that was at Hocking Hills
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: State Park. But I don't feel too bad. Okay. You
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: guys know the seven years in Hell story, right, You know,
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: bridget for the seven years in hell story that the
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: good wife she did that too. It's a photographer thing,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: but it's a girl thing, and I'm laughing about it.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: But the truth is, if I had, if I had
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: started to fall, my dad would have reached out to
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: catch me, even if it meant he might fall.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: Right, Women don't think about stuff like that. Women. I
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: don't think about if I fuck up, somebody else might
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: get hurt. If I fall off of this goddamn pedestal,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: I'm going to land on the men around me and
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: crash into them, maybe smash them, maybe break them in
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: some way. Women don't think about that, or if they do,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: they get off on it instead of being careful and
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: deliberate because they're not grown up. A few women are.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: A few women consider that, and they do try to
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: climb down carefully and have both feet on the ground instead.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: But not enough, not anywhere near enough. Well, Roberto or
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: Roboto sorry one two, three, four, five, six seven gave
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: us a dollar and said, fortunately, one can buy non
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: woke products for a hefty price, at least in the USA. Yeah,
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh. Richerd Beer brought up the two girls standing
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: at the edge of a cliff marveling at how their
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: hair starts standing up and sticking out in all directions.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: There's a few videos like this. The one that really
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: gets me is the one where the chick sticks her
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: hand out into the staticy feeling and they hear it.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: They hear the sound, and as a person who has
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: been shocked, I reached for what I thought was a
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: phone line when I was a kid, and it arcd
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: and zapped me and knocked me out of a tree.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: The idea of being struck by lightning is absolutely horrifying.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: And just watching that, like my hair, just thinking about
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: watching that, my hair is standing up all over my body.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: Now I'm not gonna get electrocuted. It's just that's such
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: a goose walked over your grave moment to even think about.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: Those women are so stupid and so many people get
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: killed when when that happens to them, Like, survival is
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: you You're I don't know if you're even lucky if
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: you survive when you get struck by lightning, because you
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: usually have pretty bad burns. It's rare when you get
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: a person that has There's been a few that gets
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: struck by lightning. They don't have really bad burns. And
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: they don't have brain damage. But uh uh, if that
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: was happening, I would be getting the hell out of
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: that space so fast. I would not want to be
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: anywhere near that because you know that a lightning bolt
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: is going to strike there. That's it's going to discharge
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: right there. It's fucked up. One's ability to take risks
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: is also determined in large part by one spectrum and
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: scope of responsibil And think about why, why is your
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: ability to take risk determined by your spectrum and scope
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: of responsibilities. It's because the things that you have to
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: consider in regard to those responsibilities give you a greater
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: ability to evaluate that risk. So a lot of times
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: the reason that women are more risk averse is because
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: when they look at a risk, they are looking into
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: a room that has all the lights turned off, and
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: somebody has said to you, somewhere in that room there's
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: a pit and if you fall into it, you're going
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: to fall onto spikes and die, right but you can't
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: you can't see where you're going. That's the risk that
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: they're looking at, not because yeah, not because they're denied anything,
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: but because their scope of focus is narrower. They're looking
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: out the window they're not out into the world. Whereas
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of times when men take those risks, besides
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: their natural tendency to take more risks growing up, that
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: have led to them developing more ability to evaluate and
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: decide is the potential reward worth the risk and so on,
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: they have more experiences that give them clues where that
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: hole is. The lights might be on in their room,
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: they can see, and so you have a lot of
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: instances where just that scope of responsibility, that spectrum and
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: scope of responsibility makes the huge difference in your ability
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: to decide if the risk is worth the reward, and
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: it also makes it less risky because you're able to
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: determine the safer way to do it. Of course, those
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: factors affect one's potential for personal accountability and also color
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: its presentation. Traditionally, a woman's responsibilities have had a much
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: narrower scope than those of men, and women's shade of
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: personal accountability has reflected that women have been able to
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: uphold cultural standards and take responsibility within that narrower scope
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: by following the traditional cultural norms that feminists hate so much,
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: premarital abstinence rather than sexual promiscuity, homemaking, and stewardship of
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: their household resources rather than heavy spending and building up debt,
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: loyalty to their husband and family, diligent nurturing of their children.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: Two plus two plus two the historical gap plus women's
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: aversion plus the fact that having a narrower scope of
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: responsibility means having a narrower scope of factors that are
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: available to consider in order to exercise personal account ability,
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: it leads to one more factor. Due to the historical
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: role women filled and what their limited outlook presented to
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: them for contemplation and consideration, women have been culturally programmed,
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: perhaps evolved over time, to be a little selfish. Combine
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: this with humanities, that is, mankind's history of advancements in technology, security, safety,
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: and comfort within civilizations, and that selfishness gets more and
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: more indulged. Hardship inspires masculine ingenuity and resourcefulness. The resulting
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: creative advancement leads to prosperity and convenience, which ultimately breeds complacency,
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: leading women to become increasingly solipsistic and narcissistic and increasingly
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: sometimes ridiculously dependent on men and social safety nets to
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: rescue them from the consequences of their own choices. So
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: we have this history right of men supporting women, and
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: it's not just if you have a baby, he has
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: to support you. Historically, a woman was her father's responsibility
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: until she was her husband's responsibility, and it was unusual
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: for a woman to take responsibility for herself, to leave
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: her father's home unmarried and live on her own, because
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: women didn't have to do that. They do now, right,
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: But once upon a time, you could just live with
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: your parents until they passed away. You take care of
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: them until they pass away, and you might be considered
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: an old maid or a spinster, but you wouldn't be
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: on your own until you outlived your parents. If you
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: were female, if you never got married, and if you
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: inherited a home because of that, you're probably going to
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: get married shortly thereafter. So women had no reason, basically,
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: in their their scope of responsibilities, their scope of experiences,
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: to develop a sense of fairness that didn't weigh themselves
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: in higher than everybody else. Right, they developed a sense
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: of self importance and a sense of selfishness. And on
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 1: top of that, you had because women were naturally somewhat
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: afraid to take risks, you had this feedback loop where
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: women women couldn't couldn't step out of that. You have
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: all of your life, somebody else's respect sponsible for you.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: In all of your life, that person is the person
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: that's most likely to want to indulge you. You developed
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: this sense of entitlement to be indulged. And it's probably
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: where the aristocrats, the French aristocrats that invented kind of centrism,
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 1: got that idea that they should always be indulged. They're wealthy,
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: they were the responsibility of their fathers until they were
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: the responsibility of their husbands, and everybody treated them like
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: they were special. Of course they developed an entitlement to it.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 4: Let's see, despite everything I said about the maybe the agricultural, industrial,
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 4: and technological relution revolutions being such an important factor in
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 4: infantilizing the human race, especially women, I think the most
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 4: important factor is governments, including aristocracies, which which were a
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 4: sort of primordial version of government of of ruling classes.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 4: Because ruling classes for a very long time have have
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 4: leaned into kind of centrism. Because even even even if
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 4: you have machines to do all of your jobs for you,
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 4: like washing machines and dishwashers and whatever does the the
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 4: the job of whatever farmers and indeed their wives used
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 4: to do. You still have to be in charge of
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 4: those machines. You have to you have to figure out
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 4: how to operate those machines and and maintain those machines.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 4: And yes, it's men that generally do the maintenance of
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 4: those machines, but that that doesn't that doesn't so much
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 4: reduce women's account accountability and responsibility. It merely funnels it
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 4: into the use and upkeep of these of these machines.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 4: It just makes their jobs easier. Whereas what governments do,
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 4: up to and including the Tofts who were in charge
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 4: of France before the revolution, and indeed down to and
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 4: including the the clowns that we have in charge of
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 4: our politics nowadays, it's always about it's not about enhancing
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 4: women's abilities, it's about well reducing their accountability and making
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 4: men responsible for all the things they do, because government
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 4: is not driven by technology, it's it's driven by rules,
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 4: rules that are pretty much arbitrarily decided, and that those
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 4: arbitrarily decided rules are always men should take responsibility for
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 4: women because they're just they don't think these things through.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 4: They're thinking with their fucking lizard brain, well, mammal brain.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 4: I suppose reptiles sort of aren't really into aren't really
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 4: into that. Well, it's complicated, but it seems to be
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 4: mammalian species where where men actually begin to take responsibility
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 4: for everything up to and including children. And yes, there's
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 4: a lot of theories about how some dinosaur species we're
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 4: a bit like seahorses where the women laid the eggs
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 4: and then the males raised them. But that's that's a
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 4: great deal of speculation. It's largely well, it's largely humans. Actually,
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 4: there's a very few mammals that do what the human
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 4: species is capable of doing, because it's only the human species,
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 4: with its big brains where men can actually realize that
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 4: children are their children and so they take responsibility for them.
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 4: And that was a breakthrough in my opinion, because when
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 4: when men know that the children are theirs and they
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 4: have an incentive to take care of them like they
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 4: do it at an autistic level that women could never
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 4: They treat their children as this project. They love them
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 4: as well on a sort of emotional level, but they
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 4: sort of go, right, how do we hyper focus this
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 4: task of making sure these these children stay alive and
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 4: and and they and they develop healthily, and and and
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 4: and so on. And that's I think why the human
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 4: species did develop so quickly from from the moment they
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 4: developed whatever bit of the brain that that is until
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 4: the present day. And that's why, and that's why the
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 4: various revolutions of technology have sped up so fast. Like
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 4: take the the time between the agricultural revolution and the
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 4: industrial revolution, and then take the distance between the industrial
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 4: revolution and the technological revolution. The first distance is like
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 4: ten thousand years or something, and the second distance is
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 4: one hundred years. And the next one, which I think
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 4: is probably AI, which is still sort of technology, but
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 4: it's this whole other level of technology is it's again
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 4: going to give people these tools that's going to help them, uh,
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 4: advance everything about humanity, but it's it it's going to
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 4: keep being hampered by this ruling class that we've quite
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 4: wrongly installed that does nothing but revert us back to
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 4: the worst parts of human nature, where it's all protect
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 4: the women's, protect the women's and not and not the men.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 4: Every every technology has has has has made it more
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 4: important that we in fact protect the men, because the
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 4: men are the ones who invent these technologies. And maintain
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 4: these technologies, and and and yet we've always been pushed
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 4: in the other direction by by this fake royalty of
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 4: of of humans who think they're doing the best by
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 4: just reverting to this primordial nature of women and children first. Well,
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 4: children first makes sense, but to to to latch women
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 4: first on top of that has has never made any
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 4: sense in the light of any revolutionary technology. It's just
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 4: it might have all come from romantic chivalry. It might
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 4: all have been spawned by this one really fucking bad
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 4: idea in the dark ages where where we where we
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 4: just have to blame men for everything and continue to
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 4: treat women like children. That's not a form of technology.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 4: This is not even remotely. You can't you can't bend
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 4: it anyway to call that a form of technology. It's
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 4: a form of governance kind of centrism. Is Yeah, it's
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 4: practically the opposite of technology. It's it's the bane of technology.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 4: It's yeah, it's the opposite of technology.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 3: It's it ruined the Internet.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it'll ruin the next thing. It'll ruin AI.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 3: Nobody has.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: It all depends on a particular human trait. Men optimize
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: everything they come into into contact with the first they
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: conquer it, right, and then they figure out how to
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: redesign it, rearrange it, or otherwise redo it to make
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: it the most benevolent and beneficial to people and the
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: least dangerous and the least of a detriment to people.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: They've even optimized garbage, like men have optimized garbage to
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: make it the least bothersome to people. Right, they've optimized
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: shit to make it the least dangerous and the least
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 1: bothersome to people that can be. And at the other
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: end of it, they've optimized a data management management right,
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: data analysis, collection, analysis, and usage to do everything from
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: controlling machines and h figuring out problems and doing what
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: we're doing right now to artificial well it's not really
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: artificial intelligence yet. Llms aren't really artificial intelligence yet, but
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: we're getting there. And it's been mostly men the whole time.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: Women kind of steward and they create systems of hospitality
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 1: out of that and sorted out and lay ground rules for,
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: you know, the social boundaries of how these things get
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: used and such. It is not necessarily a bad balance, right,
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: but as long as women are narcissistic solipsistic and entitled,
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 1: and you have actually what Paul's like stream was about yesterday,
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: romance in the works, romance is a huge monkey wrench
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 1: and in Gears of Human Evolution, it takes what was
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: once a natural human relationship Storgay, the connection that you
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: have with your family, where they are the most important
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 1: people in your life and you care very deeply about them,
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: You're very invested in their welfare and their comfort and happiness,
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: and they are in yours as well. Like it takes
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: that and it makes it one sided. That the male
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: is now obligated to have that toward the female, but
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: she doesn't have to reciprocate, and it puts her up
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 1: on that pedestal where she doesn't really belong. It makes
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 1: her not understand anymore that to advance as an adult
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: in your life, you have to be able to be
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: self critical. You can't improve if nothing is wrong right,
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: You can't improve if there's nowhere left to go but down.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: And if you don't care about the people around you
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: as much as you care about yourself, especially your family,
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: you don't care about your family as much as you
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: care about yourself, you end up being a loser. Even
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 1: though that's not even what you're trying to do. If
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: we don't fix that, then yeah, AI and other modern
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: advancements will end up being a disaster for humanity because
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 1: they will get abused. Everything will be profit driven, everything
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: will be driven toward optimizing, you know, not family safety
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: and community safety and benefits to all people, but individuals,
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: you know, monopolizing the benefits of it so that they
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: can get the attentions of women, various women. And that's
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: the way it'll go. If women can shape up, which
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: is a tall order, but if women can develop some adulthood,
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: can become more accountable than they were, start being more
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: deliberate in their actions, start considering the people around them,
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: and remember how to love, because romance and love are
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: not the same thing. In fact, I would actually call
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: them pull their opposites. You can't love somebody and enslave
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: them at the same time. It doesn't work. That's not
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: how it works. That's not how any of this works.
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 4: Love is kind of meaningless. The word love is like
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 4: the word hello. No, it's not it doesn't really mean it.
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, no, no, no, no, Instead of characteristics.
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 4: Implies, depending on what you're talking about.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, love has a set of characteristics.
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: Love involves companionship when you're talking about people, but it
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: involves dedication, and I would say that you can only
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: love people everything else. It's a different concept like patriotism.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: People think of patriotism as a type of love for
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: your country, right, but it's it's not the same even
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: if you would die for your country, because you don't
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: have companionship with your country, you don't have any kind
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: of You have intimacy with your family members. You only
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: have sexual intimacy with your life partner or your sexual partner,
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 1: but you have intimacy with all of your family members.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 1: And that desire for that intimacy is part of love,
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: and that desire for that companionship is part of love,
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: like friendship is a type of love. And that investment
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: in the other where you care about the person that
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 1: you love to the degree that you want that person
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: to have success and contentment and to be comfortable and
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: to want your companionship and so on, that's love. And
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: you you approach love with humility like you approach lust
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 1: with narcissism, but you approach love with humility, and so
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: it's separate from lust. You approach romance with narcissism, but
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: you approach love with humility, so it's separate from romance.
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 4: But at the same time, you could say I love
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 4: pizza and that just means I like pizza a lot.
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people use the word incorrectly, but that doesn't take
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that the concept.
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 4: They're not they're not prescriptive. They are descriptive. And it
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 4: depends who's using it and in what context. And you
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 4: say that about every word, so no word means anything
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 4: and so on and so forth.
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 1: But it doesn't mean love isn't real.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 4: It just depends on the context, right, So in.
• 1:46:26
  Speaker 1: Any case, yeah, I would just I would just point
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 1: out that once again it's going to rely on women
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: growing up. Everything that that could happen in the future
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: that is good. Humanity could be great if women grow up.
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: I got a super child from speaking of women not
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: understanding risk versus reward. That's the name. And and that
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: person gave us five dollars and said, I remember a
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: story from one to two years ago where you're a
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: couple of European women drove past a bear and her cubs.
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: Rather than keeping their distance and driving away, which anybody
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: with a brain would do. By the way, they turned
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 1: their car around to get photos. You you photograph bears
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: with a telephoto lens. You don't turn your car around
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 1: to get photos. You drive far away and then you
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 1: turn around to get photos. And your lens should be
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 1: as long as your arm.
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 1: They parked the car between the mother bear and the cubs.
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, God, what one of the it gets
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: mars finish it. Then one of them opened the door
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: to get really close to the cubs. I think both
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 1: of them survived the attack, but one of them was
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 1: badly injured and sent to the hospital. Holy fuck.
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 4: It's it's like the fit. It's not just sort of
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 4: the video we thought of this couple driving through a
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 4: tiger enclosure in a in a Safari park and the
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 4: wife got so annoyed with the husband that she just
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 4: stormed out of the car. And then you actually saw
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 4: the tiger just grab her and run off.
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, oh my god, please tell me that was Ai.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 4: No, this was I think this was.
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Now, I don't even know. Is everything
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 4: I know?
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: Oh God, I hope that was because I mean, I
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: I don't want women to be that stupid. I don't
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: want anybody to be that stupid like that is something
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: you know learned not to do. Oh god, that was real.
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 1: That is something that you learn not to do when
• 1:48:45
  Speaker 1: you're a little kid and your mom says, don't touch
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: the stove it's hot because and you can see that
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 1: it's red, and and you think it's pretty and you
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 1: touch it anyway and you get a scar in your
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 1: hand like that, Then you learn that if somebody says
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 1: something's dangerous, you stay away from it. Right, jeez, what's
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: wrong with people? What's wrong with women? Don't answer that.
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 1: We'll be here all night. We're gonna we're gonna wrap
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 1: it up here in like five minutes. Uh oh, I
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: see in Wallie said women are l ms without the
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 1: tools to let them challenge their hallucinations. That was on
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: Rumble and then h Roboto one, two, three, four, five,
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 1: six seven. All his comments have been on Rumble too.
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 1: I keep not mentioning that gave us a dollar and
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: said said I can't put this in the screen. Come on,
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 1: there we go. Funny thing. In many, not all cultures,
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 1: women always worked, Yes, yes they did, with exceptions. So
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 1: it becomes a matter of big city thinking versus village
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 1: thinking or small town thinking, well, it's also class, right,
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 1: there was an upper class in a lower class. Upper
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 1: class women only worked if they wanted to. Lower class
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 1: women worked so that their families wouldn't starve, and a
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 1: lot of times the work they did was housekeeping for
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 1: the upper class women who didn't have to work, so
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 1: we're cooking for their families. And even when women did
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 1: try to do harder jobs, upper class women stymied them.
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 1: For instance, people don't know this, but during the Victorian era,
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 1: women worked in coal mines until upper class women decided
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: that this was offensive because it did involve like tearing
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: up their clothes essentially, and so there were jobs that
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 1: were basically done in the nude, but you were covered
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: in mud so nobody could see anything anyway. But Queen
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 1: Victoria sent men in to check on these women, and
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: they evaluated, and they decided on the queen's behalf, based
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 1: on the directives that she had given them, that women
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be working in the coal mines, and so the
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 1: women were relegated to the jobs that could be done
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: on the surface outside the coal mines or inside the cave,
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 1: but not down in the mines, and only the men
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 1: would go down and that was the end of that.
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 1: So they lost income and their families lost income, and
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 1: the impact was pretty bad. But the upper class felt
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 1: like they had done lower class women of failure or
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 1: a favor because they had rescued them from the mines.
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 1: And that is the way that it that it often works.
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: And Roboto won two three, four, five sixty seven, gave
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: us another dollar and said, would it work better if
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: instead of big expensive weddings, half that money was a
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 1: gift to start off new marriage like in the older
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: days before. Now, yeah, that would work. Not all families
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 1: even have that kind of money. You know, my family
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 1: didn't have that kind of money. But if somebody had
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 1: tried to throw me a big expensive wedding and make
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 1: me stand up in front of everybody and do all that,
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 1: I would have probably never been able to get married.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 1: That would have killed me. But honestly, the best route
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 1: if you're raising a gen alpha girl, If you're a
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: parent listening to this right now, and you've got a
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 1: gen alpha girl, right she should be earning her own
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: dowry from the time she turns sixteen, when she's old
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 1: enough to get a job, and you know, someplace like
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: fast food or retail or something that she can start
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: out and have some upward mobility, but it won't be
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: devastating if she decides she never wants to do that
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: again after she gets married, right and put that money
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 1: away and every bit that she can, you know, don't
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: go spending it on dates and clothes and makeup and
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 1: hair and all kinds of bullshit, even if mom and
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: dad have to manage it for her. We'll put it
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: away in a trust account that she can't touch until
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: she either gets married or buys a house or wants
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 1: to buy a house, and then she can use that
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: as her down payment. And you can earn quite a
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: sizable amount in six years between high school and what
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: it would take you to rack up several thousand dollars
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 1: of debt in college. And it'd be better to have
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 1: that money built up than it would be to rack
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 1: up that debt. Unless she specifically wants to do a job,
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 1: you know that you have to get a degree for
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: like a certification for like nursing or doctor or something
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 1: like that where you can go someplace to work and
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 1: they'll pay it off for you. Don't let your daughter
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: talk you into just letting her slack off sons are working.
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: Most boys get jobs because they got to pay for dates.
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 1: Talk your son out of doing a lot of dating
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 1: when he's in high school, just a little bit. Talk
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: your daughter out of doing a lot of dating when
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 1: she's in high school. Let them take their time and
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 1: let them save that up. It will make a much
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 1: bigger difference than having a big, fancy wedding and a
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 1: degree in underwater basket weaving.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 4: Dating is gay in general. It's like a mutual job interview.
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 4: It's excruciating. Just meet people normally.
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 1: No, Oh, I see him. Wow, he said that tiger
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 1: video came out years before Ei Jenner. Oh, it's old
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 1: Jesus pizza became available. Maybe it could be a fabrication
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 1: from some obscure lab at best, so it's definitely real.
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 4: Jeez, she chose the tiger.
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 1: She sure did well. I guess she learned whether she
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: survived it or not. But XERANX on YouTube gave us said,
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 1: remember for twenty one month's level spore message, I saw
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 1: that video. I think her mom was in the back
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 1: seat and tried to savor. I couldn't help but shrug
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 1: at her.
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 4: Plight talking about the bad thing or the tiger thing.
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 1: The tiger thing Senior sticks gave us two dollars and said,
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 1: don't men pay the dowry? So Shaw had a great
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 1: video on that, and one of the things he explained
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 1: is that the direction the dowry goes depends on the
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 1: direction the woman's value goes. If the husband is taking
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: responsibility for a woman who isn't bringing a laborer into
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: the family or wealth into the family based on some
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 1: type of skill or something like that, then then the
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 1: family sends a dowry with her. If he's taking responsibility,
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 1: she brings a dowry. If he's getting a value, If
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 1: she's bringing value into the family, you know, like if
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 1: women in societies where women's labor is central to the
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 1: household and central to the man's ability to gain resources
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that, then he pays a dowry. So
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 1: it makes a big difference. So there are different societies
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 1: that do it different ways. A dowry goes both way.
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 1: It just depends on which one what type of the
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 1: civilization you're in that personally, and in civilizations like the
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 1: United States, the UK, Canada, first World nations where women
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 1: do bring skills and everything, but then don't always use them.
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: I still think women should be bringing something into the marriage,
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 1: because what happens is, you get married, right if you
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 1: don't already have if you haven't already put the cart
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 1: before the horse, You get married, and maybe for a
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 1: year or two you work and both of you are
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 1: bringing in about the same amount of income unless you
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 1: have a huge disparity in your training. What types of
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 1: jobs you do? You know? And then then whoever has
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 1: the the more valued job makes more money most of
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 1: the time, and that's usually the men, right, So there's
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 1: the disparity that happens first. And then the next disparity
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 1: is if the wife gets pregnant, she's going to take
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 1: maternity leave, and at the end of that maternity leave,
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 1: she might not want to go back to work. She
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 1: might take two or three years off to raise the
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 1: child up to preschool age before she even goes back
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 1: part time. When she does go back, she's not going
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 1: to make the amount of money she would have made
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: if she'd have been working that whole time. And then
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 1: the other thing is she's probably not going to be
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 1: as hungry for promotion and extra responsibility at work until
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 1: she's in her fifties. So the whole time that the
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: kids are young, from the day that she has you know,
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 1: that positive pregnancy test, right up until n till all
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 1: the kids are out of the house and she becomes
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: comfortable with being an empty nester. It's going to be
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 1: on his shoulders almost the entire time in most households.
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: So knowing that the one way that a woman can
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 1: make up for the gap in what she is contributing
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 1: financially in a world where two income houses are really necessary,
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 1: households are really necessary, is to bring money in at
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 1: the beginning. And I think it would also make her
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 1: more likely to stay with the marriage. Maybe something cost
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 1: isn't always a fallacy. If she has invested in their
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 1: home and their family, she's not gonna want to abandon
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 1: that so quickly. It's something that she's helped to build
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 1: up and it's going to be important to her to
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 1: maintain that connection. Still important to change the law, But
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 1: there you go. We're going to listen to the last
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 1: minute and then I will close out the show. That
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 1: is why the gap has gotten so fat. Historically, women
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 1: were sheltered in ways that made it grow, and as
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 1: men have advanced civilization to remove the necessity of that shelter.
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 1: The sheltering has become more prevalent and pervasive, not less.
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: That means, even though the accountability gap is in part
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 1: natural and cannot ever fully be closed, there is still
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 1: a significant element that is cultural and can be changed.
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 1: The expansion of the accountability gap is a result of
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 1: that pattern, and that pattern can be recognized, evaluated, halted,
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 1: and reversed to return societal standards to a more rational pattern.
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 1: So this isn't the news of doom and gloom it
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 1: has sounded like for most of this explanation, but just
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 1: a major wake call because if we know the issues
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 1: risk aversion, solipsism and scope of contemplation, narcissism and scope
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 1: of self awareness, cultural guynes centrism, and double standards, then
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 1: we can fight to get it back down to a
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 1: more reasonable size and protect men so that when a
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 1: woman falls into it, she cannot drag one or more
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 1: of them down with her. In fact, the more we
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 1: understand this phenomenon, the more we may be able to
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 1: keep anyone from falling in. It's not a white pill,
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 1: but it's not a black pill either. I suppose we
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 1: can call this the one shade of gray pill.
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 4: Man's right. Activists are machines, dude.
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, they are literals, and that's gonna be as far
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 1: as I'm going to go with that.
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're talking about how you raise children, right, You
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 4: teach them accountability, you teach them boundaries. So you don't
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 4: do this to other people because it affects other people.
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 4: And if you do it enough, they fucking understood it,
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 4: like hopefully.
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's exactly it. People do have the opportunity
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 1: to raise the next generation, in the next and and
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 1: after better and to start reversing that trend. What we're
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 1: doing next week, I'm not sure yet, but I will
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 1: I will definitely let you know.
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 3: We might m did you look for this buying bill?
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 1: Not yet. I haven't had a chance. But it's that's
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 1: one of the things that's that's on my plate is
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 1: it is something that I do want to talk about
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 1: and that that is going to be an up top,
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 1: upcoming topic. Suicide primarily, you know, is a decision that
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 1: people when they're making it, if they get an opportunity
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 1: to change their minds, they do, right. But you know,
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 1: if you've got someone else doing it for you, then
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 1: you don't get that opportunity. So it's it's very serious
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 1: that that's that's becoming a thing. Uh And because suicide
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 1: victims are mostly men, it's it's entirely I mean's issue
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 1: that this is happening. So but in in case it is,
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 1: it is an upcoming topic. But I'll need to look
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 1: more through the bill before I try to discuss the
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 1: actual law intelligently because I don't know the details.
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 3: It's the same thing, and it's the same one as Canada.
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 1: Oh ship, that's really bad. Yeah, and this is this
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 1: is not the only country either that's doing this, Like
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 1: in the Netherlands. There they've suicided children, right who can't
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 1: even make this decision for themselves yet not really, But
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 1: with that in mind, you know, that's one. There's a
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 1: couple other things I'm looking at as well. That one's
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 1: probably going to be more urgent. So I'll try to
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 1: get a good look at that this weekend.
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 3: I'm supposed to go and pull at some point.
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 1: That's good.
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 3: Well in time, yes, I'm going back to me yep.
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 1: In the meantime, like I said, I will do my
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 1: best to get a good look at that law. I
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 1: would like to to see if maybe the listeners might
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 1: also look into that law when we end up talking
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 1: about it. That way, you'll all be able to, you know,
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 1: comment on it based on an understanding of the law.
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 1: But you'd have to look it up. You can I
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 1: hate to suggest Google, but I'm sure you can. You
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 1: can find it that way, or if you happen to
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 1: have an EXE count Groc is pretty good at finding
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 1: things when Google won't look them up. I've discovered that
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 1: as well, so, but thanks Richard for reminding me of that.
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 1: Thanks to all my co hosts for doing the show tonight,
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 1: especially like Mike and Laren are doing this or right
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 1: in the middle of travel. Thanks very much to Brian
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 1: for working in the background to make this happen. Uh
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 1: what law exactly? Oh uh like aphobic misin throw. It's
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 1: the assisted dying law that's being it's under consideration, right,
