Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: A lot of them, fundamentals of last self interest.
- 0:09Speaker 2: And an individual lots. This is the show.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Oh right, everybody, welcome to your one book show. Well
- 0:22Speaker 1: you on a Nicos show, not the one bookshow. Then
- 0:25Speaker 1: and Nicos dialogues, and we are back week three of
- 0:31Speaker 1: our conversations. Uh, today's going to be I think super interesting.
- 0:36Speaker 1: It's it's a topic I haven't I've talked a little
- 0:39Speaker 1: bit about. But Nicos, I know, has done a lot
- 0:40Speaker 1: of research and has delved deep into many of these topics,
- 0:44Speaker 1: so I'm looking forward to kind of talking to him
- 0:47Speaker 1: about it. It is, as some of you have noted,
- 0:50Speaker 1: it is my my birthday today, so and as Darius,
- 0:54Speaker 1: who who I guess just has a way with woods,
- 0:56Speaker 1: puts it, damn you old. Well, thank you, Dolly. I
- 1:00Speaker 1: appreciate that I am. You know, I don't feel old.
- 1:06Speaker 1: But it turns out that this is my sixty fifth birthday.
- 1:10Speaker 1: So I am now officially part of the Senior Citizens Club,
- 1:14Speaker 1: whatever that means. But I still plan to beat most
- 1:19Speaker 1: of you out on most things physical and in terms
- 1:24Speaker 1: of energy and everything else. So don't count me out
- 1:28Speaker 1: yet quite yet. Neo says, you thought I was twenty
- 1:32Speaker 1: eight nice, nice, nice. All right, So today we're talking
- 1:37Speaker 1: about the manosphere, and you know, Nico says kind of
- 1:42Speaker 1: funny story about how he first discovered the minosphere, the
- 1:45Speaker 1: first talkie ever gave in the manosphere. So why don't
- 1:47Speaker 1: we start with that, and then we'll shift and I'll
- 1:50Speaker 1: tell my story about how I got into that circumstances
- 1:55Speaker 1: of the manosphere.
- 1:56Speaker 3: So where some point around twenty fourteen, very recently discovered
- 2:02Speaker 3: objectivism free market economics. So back then YouTube is relatively young,
- 2:07Speaker 3: so there's a very finite number of amount of material there.
- 2:10Speaker 3: So I think at that point I had lost every
- 2:13Speaker 3: single yar own Brook lecture on YouTube.
- 2:15Speaker 2: They were not that many, they were probably not thirty.
- 2:18Speaker 3: One of these thirty was on something called the twenty
- 2:21Speaker 3: one Convention, which was back then the main gathering like
- 2:25Speaker 3: the ocon of the manusphere to put it, to put
- 2:28Speaker 3: it that way, and here is theeron giving a talk
- 2:31Speaker 3: about I guess selfishness. So yeah, that's that's my first contact,
- 2:36Speaker 3: I think without movement for a lot of better word.
- 2:41Speaker 1: So it was very much mine. It was my second.
- 2:44Speaker 1: I think London was my second. I think I'd given
- 2:46Speaker 1: a talk for the same group in Florida maybe the
- 2:50Speaker 1: year before, and it was like it was like I
- 2:53Speaker 1: went in, I gave these two talks, and I stepped
- 2:56Speaker 1: back and watched this thing go from something that looked
- 3:00Speaker 1: suspicious to me to something that became unbelievably ugly and offensive.
- 3:07Speaker 1: And I still get emails from the guy who organized
- 3:11Speaker 1: those conferences, Anthony Dream Johnson is his name, who claimed
- 3:16Speaker 1: to be an objectivist and who probably still claims to
- 3:18Speaker 1: be something related to objectivists, and be started the distancing.
- 3:24Speaker 1: You know, we obviously didn't connect on a number of
- 3:28Speaker 1: different issues, including ultimately politics and Trump, and but the
- 3:33Speaker 1: whole thing looked weird because it was a conference in
- 3:36Speaker 1: which pick up artists who invited, so people who are
- 3:40Speaker 1: really really good at I guess, finding ways to engage
- 3:44Speaker 1: with women and get them maybe to sleep with them.
- 3:49Speaker 1: We here were exercise people and some good exercise people,
- 3:53Speaker 1: that is, some legit people that I ultimately followed, some
- 3:58Speaker 1: diet people, you know, legit. I think that we're doing
- 4:01Speaker 1: interesting work, so a bunch of different things, from picking
- 4:05Speaker 1: up to health. The audience was ninety nine percent male.
- 4:10Speaker 1: There were a couple of women there, but Anthony Johnson's
- 4:15Speaker 1: a good example, he went from being interested in objectivism
- 4:18Speaker 1: and if I'd be me because I was an objectivist
- 4:20Speaker 1: and wanting to talk about objectivism, to being a complete
- 4:23Speaker 1: nutcase and a really you know, horrible human being, as
- 4:30Speaker 1: his emails projected. So let's talk about partially that transition.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Where does the manosphere start? What is the what are
- 4:41Speaker 1: the origins? What really is it? And where did it start?
- 4:45Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 4:45Speaker 3: First of all, let's start with some definition so that
- 4:48Speaker 3: people know what we're talking about. And the reason I
- 4:52Speaker 3: know a lot about it is because I have a
- 4:54Speaker 3: whole chapter on it in my book on Identy, Politics
- 4:57Speaker 3: and tribal and So there was a time when do
- 5:00Speaker 3: come out twenty one, so my knowledge is mostly on
- 5:05Speaker 3: that era. But recently I had to again engage with
- 5:09Speaker 3: that world because this movement that started us we're going
- 5:15Speaker 3: to give you advice on seduction or romantic success now
- 5:19Speaker 3: has become this hot bed of conspiratorial thinking and this
- 5:23Speaker 3: nest of antisemitism.
- 5:25Speaker 2: So let's start with the definition, right, what is the manosia?
- 5:27Speaker 3: Let's put it simply, think about a nonline world and
- 5:31Speaker 3: online ecosystem where mostly young men come together, they congregate,
- 5:37Speaker 3: They set the premise, They said the belief that modern
- 5:40Speaker 3: society is hostile to men, that we need to find
- 5:44Speaker 3: a space where we can fight this hostile world. And
- 5:49Speaker 3: this is a space that offers that there's going to
- 5:52Speaker 3: be a path towards an ideal of masculinity. And why
- 5:57Speaker 3: is this movement attractive? It is attract because it offers
- 6:01Speaker 3: advice on how to navigate relationship with women, and such
- 6:07Speaker 3: advice is also based on very particularly view of human
- 6:13Speaker 3: and female nature. So the manuseur's attraction is that it
- 6:17Speaker 3: offers advice and promises a solution on a problem that
- 6:21Speaker 3: is almost universal for a young man, how to attract
- 6:25Speaker 3: the opposite sex. But also this community has developed this
- 6:30Speaker 3: worldview that perceives modern societies as undermined by feminism, by liberalism.
- 6:38Speaker 3: So these days you find yourself engaging with the mansar
- 6:42Speaker 3: and it is as if you are engaging with the
- 6:45Speaker 3: friends walk right. To put it this way, you have
- 6:49Speaker 3: usually the same things anti Semitism, hostility to big pharma,
- 6:53Speaker 3: and and so forth. That's why you have people who
- 6:56Speaker 3: were seduction experts then wearing their maga hat.
- 7:00Speaker 2: So now the history, yeah.
- 7:01Speaker 1: So let's let's so to what extent did there's a
- 7:06Speaker 1: hy is from legitimate grievances. That is, to what extent
- 7:10Speaker 1: is has something happened over the last I don't know,
- 7:13Speaker 1: thirty years that has changed the relationship between men and
- 7:16Speaker 1: women that has caused men to feel this way.
- 7:21Speaker 3: Well, before we before we get there, let's take it
- 7:23Speaker 3: a step back, because that's the thing. This did not
- 7:26Speaker 3: start as a movement of grievance. This started as a
- 7:30Speaker 3: movement that offered simple dating advice. So in the early days,
- 7:36Speaker 3: there was no manosphere. There was let's put it seduction experts.
- 7:41Speaker 3: It's what you might have heard as you know, the
- 7:43Speaker 3: area of the game and something that you'll see in
- 7:46Speaker 3: the manocer. It usually jumps in whatever band vangos and
- 7:50Speaker 3: is popular at the time.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Spent the early nineties.
- 7:54Speaker 3: It was self help advice influenced back then by neuro
- 7:59Speaker 3: linguists programming NLP. There was a guy called Ross Jeffries
- 8:03Speaker 3: who came up with something called speed seduction, and the
- 8:07Speaker 3: idea was that by using some techniques and some tricks,
- 8:11Speaker 3: you bypass the rational barriers of women and you get
- 8:16Speaker 3: straight to the more let's say, primal level, and that
- 8:19Speaker 3: you achieve seduction. That's important because we'll see throughout the
- 8:22Speaker 3: history of the manosphere. There's this idea that human beings
- 8:26Speaker 3: are very deterministic. You just need to find the tricks,
- 8:29Speaker 3: the mechanisms, and then you can figure out how to
- 8:34Speaker 3: make them do what you want. And you know, the
- 8:37Speaker 3: NLP was not just about seduction. Tony Robbins very famously
- 8:41Speaker 3: used the NLP to become.
- 8:44Speaker 2: What he became.
- 8:45Speaker 3: Next, we want to the time when the manosphere became,
- 8:49Speaker 3: or that the pickup community.
- 8:51Speaker 1: Can ask saying so, of course that attached stage at
- 8:55Speaker 1: that point when it was about seduction. Was it just
- 8:58Speaker 1: about sex? Always it about a relationship? Was the whole
- 9:03Speaker 1: point of getting around the women's rational side is to
- 9:06Speaker 1: stop getting in bed and that's all that mattered? Or
- 9:09Speaker 1: was there something more than more to that?
- 9:11Speaker 3: No, it was initially it was about seduction, but the
- 9:16Speaker 3: point was it's a numbers game. If you manage to
- 9:19Speaker 3: become good with women and you get to date, let's say,
- 9:23Speaker 3: with one hundred women, one of these might get a
- 9:27Speaker 3: good to be a good to be a good way.
- 9:30Speaker 3: But what you ask gives us the key to the
- 9:32Speaker 3: next major development in the manusc Here. So we are
- 9:35Speaker 3: around the early two thousands now and the book The
- 9:38Speaker 3: Game comes out. The game is written by Mills Strauss,
- 9:41Speaker 3: who was a mainstream journalist.
- 9:43Speaker 2: He was someone who was writing for the New York
- 9:46Speaker 2: Times and.
- 9:47Speaker 3: For the Rolling Stone, and he gets let's say underground.
- 9:53Speaker 3: He goes native with a pickup community, following a guy
- 9:57Speaker 3: called Mystery, and because Nil stre a great is a
- 10:02Speaker 3: very good writer. The book is a fascinating read. It's
- 10:06Speaker 3: a fun read. But people who read the book all
- 10:09Speaker 3: came to the same conclusion like, Okay, all this is
- 10:12Speaker 3: nice and it's fun, but these guys are end up heartbroken.
- 10:17Speaker 3: Mystery the great seduce, who is the guy Neil Strauss follows.
- 10:22Speaker 3: He has constant mental breakdowns because he's so in love
- 10:27Speaker 3: with some women. So he said, uses ninety five women,
- 10:31Speaker 3: but five women he's in love with, and he doesn't
- 10:33Speaker 3: know what to do. So the next level is, look,
- 10:37Speaker 3: pickup tricks are not enough.
- 10:39Speaker 2: We need to fuse seduction with self development.
- 10:43Speaker 3: And this is the era towards twenty ten where pick
- 10:47Speaker 3: up artistry and self development slightly slowly come together. This
- 10:53Speaker 3: is the time we find many people in the manosphere
- 10:56Speaker 3: on what starts on what today we call the manosphere.
- 11:00Speaker 3: This is when you have people quoting I rant. This
- 11:03Speaker 3: is where you have people suggesting in their forums, like
- 11:07Speaker 3: the real social dynamic people old timers will know them.
- 11:12Speaker 3: They were let's say that some virus splits from the
- 11:15Speaker 3: early pick up community, but they were suggesting the Atlas
- 11:18Speaker 3: rug and the founded yet in the forums. And this
- 11:21Speaker 3: is the time where you can find some like the
- 11:24Speaker 3: twenty one convention inviting Yaron Brook to give a talk,
- 11:28Speaker 3: because the idea is we try now not only to
- 11:31Speaker 3: have tricks, Now we try to have this whole like
- 11:35Speaker 3: this integrated development of.
- 11:39Speaker 2: Your character so that you can also attract.
- 11:41Speaker 3: A good wife and you don't don't just sleep, let's say,
- 11:44Speaker 3: with a desperate desperate women or women with low self esteem.
- 11:51Speaker 3: And at this point our viewer might be wondering, Okay,
- 11:55Speaker 3: but what does all this have to do with politics.
- 11:57Speaker 3: You told us at the beginning, this is about the tryabalism, antisemitism.
- 12:01Speaker 3: How is this in any way related to tricks how
- 12:05Speaker 3: to seduce human women? So in the early two in
- 12:08Speaker 3: the late two thousands, there's a parallel movement growing on
- 12:12Speaker 3: the side, let's say, of the PUA community.
- 12:15Speaker 2: And it claims that that men.
- 12:17Speaker 3: Do not just need tricks to seduce women or even
- 12:21Speaker 3: to build a good character. They also need an integrated
- 12:25Speaker 3: worldview that explains to them how the world really is.
- 12:30Speaker 3: They need an integrated view of what it means to
- 12:32Speaker 3: be a man in the twenty first century. It's like
- 12:37Speaker 3: how objective, say libertarian is when an economics is not enough.
- 12:41Speaker 3: It's politics, it's economics, but you need something more. You
- 12:44Speaker 3: need the base to erect politics and economics. Something similar
- 12:49Speaker 3: happened with the manager and the philosophy that supposedly will
- 12:54Speaker 3: give you a worldview that makes you understand what the
- 12:58Speaker 3: world out there is. Is what we call the red
- 13:01Speaker 3: pill and what became known as the red pill obviously
- 13:04Speaker 3: the red pill the metaphor from the Marxist you see
- 13:07Speaker 3: the world for what it really is. The most famous
- 13:12Speaker 3: figure in that movement is a guy with the norm
- 13:16Speaker 3: to get the nickname Rational Male. He wrote the series
- 13:21Speaker 3: The Rational Man. I was rereading it, and it's interesting
- 13:25Speaker 3: that at that point he presents himself basically as what
- 13:30Speaker 3: they do is praxeology, which means I give you the
- 13:34Speaker 3: facts how human beings act. I don't involve include any
- 13:40Speaker 3: moral evaluation.
- 13:42Speaker 2: Women are like that.
- 13:44Speaker 3: You can believe it and act on it however you
- 13:48Speaker 3: want or you can pretend it is not so. And
- 13:52Speaker 3: how are women like By the way, what are the
- 13:54Speaker 3: main tenets of the red pill? So the red pill
- 13:57Speaker 3: has a world which is very much influenced by evolutionary psychologist.
- 14:02Speaker 3: So we're not anymore in NLP and go to the subconscious.
- 14:06Speaker 3: Now we're to a different type of determine, which is
- 14:09Speaker 3: evolutionary psychology. And there you have some formulations that you
- 14:15Speaker 3: might have heard as, for example, the concept of hypergamming,
- 14:18Speaker 3: hyper the idea that women always want to mate up.
- 14:23Speaker 3: And interestingly, as an example of hypergaming in the rational
- 14:28Speaker 3: men and others have used Dagly Tiger Metal thrugd because
- 14:33Speaker 3: again they are in a dialogue, let's say, with people
- 14:37Speaker 3: like kind Ran because this was the time when the
- 14:39Speaker 3: red pill and self development were close together, and said, look, Dagne,
- 14:43Speaker 3: she goes from Francisco to rare them to spoiler alert gold.
- 14:49Speaker 3: And this is an example of hypergama. A woman who
- 14:52Speaker 3: always wants to go with more, how to put it,
- 14:56Speaker 3: a male which is higher in the pecking order, and
- 14:59Speaker 3: they're all so you have this this idea of a
- 15:02Speaker 3: hierarchy and the idea of an alpha male and a
- 15:05Speaker 3: better man who can hear the terms thrown around in
- 15:09Speaker 3: the nineties or much. They become prominent with the Red pill,
- 15:14Speaker 3: and they built let's say.
- 15:16Speaker 2: This parallel discipline of sociologists.
- 15:18Speaker 3: Think about it as gender studies for men, explaining to
- 15:23Speaker 3: you how the world works in relation to the gender.
- 15:28Speaker 3: So now we are at the let's say, the first
- 15:31Speaker 3: decade of the twenty first century. So we have the
- 15:34Speaker 3: seduction community fused with self development and on the other hand,
- 15:38Speaker 3: people who are not necessarily engaged in steduction, so the
- 15:42Speaker 3: rational So this guy is married and the monogamous. But
- 15:46Speaker 3: it's hey, I'm going to explain to men how the
- 15:49Speaker 3: world works. And these two worlds come together and they
- 15:53Speaker 3: are in dialogue with each other. Have got Are we
- 15:57Speaker 3: good till now? Do we get it?
- 15:59Speaker 1: Yes? So you've got basically two types of determinists who
- 16:03Speaker 1: who are you know, who are coming together? But in
- 16:08Speaker 1: a sense, the deeper thinkers of the red pil ones,
- 16:11Speaker 1: the ones who have deeper ideas about about all of this, Yes, because.
- 16:16Speaker 3: They include a sociological view. They tell you what type
- 16:20Speaker 3: of world you live in, and they tell you and
- 16:22Speaker 3: that you live in it, and yes.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Part of that that they are responding to feminism. That
- 16:28Speaker 1: is part of that that they are that they are
- 16:30Speaker 1: now you know, spanning to feminism and women in the
- 16:33Speaker 1: workplace and all of this.
- 16:36Speaker 3: Yes, that's the idea is we live in a ginocentric
- 16:40Speaker 3: social order, Zino center social order, which means a social
- 16:43Speaker 3: order where women have now.
- 16:46Speaker 2: The upper hand.
- 16:47Speaker 3: But at that time feminism is not that in your
- 16:50Speaker 3: face as it becomes later.
- 16:52Speaker 2: So the key moment, the key moment is.
- 16:57Speaker 3: Aroun twenty fifteen, because that's the time when the manosphere
- 17:05Speaker 3: enters the battlefield of the culture wars and culture wars
- 17:10Speaker 3: which around the time is dominated by me too aggressive feminism,
- 17:16Speaker 3: and you have the earthquake of the mega movement and
- 17:20Speaker 3: Trump tumps as this bulldozer that we destroy everything which
- 17:27Speaker 3: is the established allowable opinion.
- 17:30Speaker 2: And this means he will have to go and collide
- 17:34Speaker 2: also with feminists.
- 17:37Speaker 3: So the manosphere, these people that now have realized themselves,
- 17:41Speaker 3: we are men who are red peel and we are
- 17:44Speaker 3: men who are castigated by this gener centering social order.
- 17:49Speaker 2: Now we have an ally.
- 17:51Speaker 3: Now we have a political bandwagon that we need to
- 17:54Speaker 3: jump on. But also there's one more development and we
- 17:57Speaker 3: need to mention also this and this is where it
- 17:59Speaker 3: gets actually darker. We have some men who get a
- 18:04Speaker 3: different lesson from all this, and the lession is that, look,
- 18:09Speaker 3: women are beyond redemption. Feminist has destroyed women. Feminists means
- 18:15Speaker 3: that men are not There's no place for us. And
- 18:19Speaker 3: their point is, therefore, we will withdraw, we will withdraw
- 18:24Speaker 3: from the sexual let's say market, the social market. They
- 18:28Speaker 3: will say the juice is not worth the squeeze, and
- 18:31Speaker 3: they see women as actively.
- 18:33Speaker 2: Dangerous, actively dangerous. And this becomes even bigger with the
- 18:37Speaker 2: air of me too.
- 18:39Speaker 3: And again in dialogue with let's say people who like
- 18:42Speaker 3: I run, some of them call it they're going gold.
- 18:47Speaker 2: They go on a strike. You might have heard these
- 18:50Speaker 2: people as Mick Taos.
- 18:52Speaker 3: Mick Taos men going the wrong way, which is I'm
- 18:56Speaker 3: not going to interact with women. I'm not going to
- 18:58Speaker 3: get married because then the state in the case of
- 19:01Speaker 3: divorce is going to screw me.
- 19:03Speaker 2: Therefore I will go on a strike.
- 19:06Speaker 3: And even darker sub category, let's say, or split from that,
- 19:11Speaker 3: is what became known as the insects, involuntary celibate, people who.
- 19:19Speaker 2: Internalize this identity that there's no hope for me. I
- 19:23Speaker 2: am in the category of the better males.
- 19:26Speaker 3: Back in the day, women had the need for me
- 19:28Speaker 3: because they needed the provider. But now with the sexual liberation,
- 19:33Speaker 3: now that women can have careers, now that welfare stated
- 19:37Speaker 3: is providing for women, women don't need me to provide
- 19:40Speaker 3: for them. They will go and sleep with the alphas.
- 19:43Speaker 3: And therefore we are not anymore needed. Therefore we will withdraw,
- 19:48Speaker 3: But we will withdraw in despair and resentment.
- 19:51Speaker 2: And I'll tell you one thing.
- 19:54Speaker 3: I've had viral videos in favor of Israel.
- 19:58Speaker 2: I've gotten less.
- 20:00Speaker 3: Pushback from I don't know proper Estinians than I have
- 20:05Speaker 3: from inselts.
- 20:06Speaker 2: And I never said anything bad about insults.
- 20:09Speaker 3: I was in a panel of incense and I said
- 20:11Speaker 3: something like, guys, this shouldn't be your identity.
- 20:14Speaker 2: You can do more like life can be better.
- 20:18Speaker 3: And the amount of the amount of it's it's, I
- 20:22Speaker 3: don't know, I'll call it dark energy.
- 20:25Speaker 2: You'll understand I'm not you know, this resentment, this this
- 20:29Speaker 2: this like it's it was. It was very sad that
- 20:32Speaker 2: it was.
- 20:32Speaker 1: Actually I've gotten the same response when I you know,
- 20:37Speaker 1: when I've talked about in cells and men going on way.
- 20:40Speaker 1: It's been a couple of years now to you know,
- 20:42Speaker 1: maybe longer since I did it, but every time I've
- 20:45Speaker 1: talked about that, the vituo, the hatred that that has
- 20:49Speaker 1: been expressed is just it is amazing. But it makes
- 20:54Speaker 1: sense because there's a fundamental insecurity right in why they
- 21:01Speaker 1: are in cells of men going own way, and when
- 21:04Speaker 1: you when you poke that insecurity, they exploded. You know,
- 21:09Speaker 1: most people with those self esteem respawn very, very very
- 21:13Speaker 1: badly to criticism.
- 21:16Speaker 3: But it's weird because they're the biggest critics of themselves.
- 21:21Speaker 3: Like I told the guests, you are not losers or
- 21:23Speaker 3: you don't have to be losers, and that's that's It's
- 21:27Speaker 3: as if you're telling them, it's as if you're saying
- 21:29Speaker 3: like the cross or garlic to like a vampire.
- 21:33Speaker 2: They get so so angry. Anyway, I still have.
- 21:39Speaker 3: And I won't say I have sympathy, but it's it's
- 21:42Speaker 3: just sad because it completely.
- 21:45Speaker 2: It strips away agency from these people.
- 21:48Speaker 3: It's it's the worst, Like it's the thing that feminism
- 21:51Speaker 3: has the worst thing that feminists has turned to some
- 21:53Speaker 3: women internalizing victimhood, and then men who supposedly rise up
- 21:58Speaker 3: against feminisms internalize this victim whom to to a degree
- 22:04Speaker 3: that you you have.
- 22:05Speaker 2: To go to the worst depths of feminine to find.
- 22:09Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it's tragic, and of course it's you know,
- 22:12Speaker 1: as we'll talk about. It's it's all this misidentification of
- 22:17Speaker 1: what what what life means, what serlling, what masculinity and
- 22:20Speaker 1: what femininity means, and really an evaluation of a misevaluation
- 22:26Speaker 1: of themselves, of of what what life makes possible. Right
- 22:31Speaker 1: the short ugly, therefore they will never be successful in life.
- 22:35Speaker 3: Right And the funny thing, the first insult I ever
- 22:38Speaker 3: met in my life in a conference action in the
- 22:40Speaker 3: Battle of ideas, he was wearing a mad hat.
- 22:43Speaker 2: And I found this very very interesting, and which is.
- 22:47Speaker 3: Because my Trump is the ketipal alpha, alpha male. Who
- 22:52Speaker 3: wouldn't have any sympathy for that, for that guy anyway.
- 22:56Speaker 3: So what happens then, from twenty fifteen onwards is that
- 23:01Speaker 3: you have a new generation of streamers, of.
- 23:06Speaker 2: Content creators. Let's put it. Now, we are in the
- 23:09Speaker 2: Maga era.
- 23:11Speaker 3: We are in the Maga ethos, where anything goes, where
- 23:15Speaker 3: you know, there is no truth, there's alternate facts. And
- 23:18Speaker 3: now there is a crusade not only against feminists but
- 23:22Speaker 3: also against basically liberalists, but Also this crusade against liberalism
- 23:30Speaker 3: becomes a crusade against the next big thing, which is
- 23:33Speaker 3: COVID orthodoxy, not in the way we did it, which
- 23:37Speaker 3: we were early on against the lockdowns. Back then they
- 23:40Speaker 3: were hiding, probably in some they were wetting the bed,
- 23:45Speaker 3: But when it became safe to do so, suddenly they
- 23:48Speaker 3: came out and I was like, oh, this is a hoax.
- 23:51Speaker 3: And then a crusade against the vaccines, and then against
- 23:55Speaker 3: the globalists, and then against the Jews. So today you
- 24:00Speaker 3: have the odd spectacle of someone like Myron Games.
- 24:04Speaker 2: If you watch the Netflix documentary you know who he is.
- 24:07Speaker 3: Who started by offering dating and fitness advice. In these
- 24:11Speaker 3: days he has long discussions with Nick Fuentes, and the
- 24:16Speaker 3: question is, what does Nick Foenes have to teach you
- 24:19Speaker 3: about dating a fitness But this space is not anymore
- 24:26Speaker 3: about becoming better at the Dutch.
- 24:29Speaker 2: It's not anymore even about getting jacked.
- 24:32Speaker 3: This is now a space of vomiting garbage, hot takes
- 24:37Speaker 3: and brain and brained views, where the more friends and
- 24:42Speaker 3: the crazy your idea, the more you have the short
- 24:46Speaker 3: lived competitive advantage in the attention economy.
- 24:51Speaker 2: So I mean, I'm gonna sound like a boomer.
- 24:53Speaker 3: But the you know, we could say back then the
- 24:58Speaker 3: man was deterministic, it had elements of you know, superficiality,
- 25:01Speaker 3: elements of missoles and okay, but the downhill trajector in
- 25:06Speaker 3: ten years is it's absolutely absolutely crazy.
- 25:10Speaker 2: It's it's it's it's a good mirror.
- 25:13Speaker 3: It's a good it gives you a good prison to
- 25:16Speaker 3: the wider cultural cultural decline.
- 25:20Speaker 1: So so what is it you think about the flawed
- 25:24Speaker 1: premises that they began with that made this decline a
- 25:31Speaker 1: reality and and and and not just possible, but but ultimately,
- 25:35Speaker 1: you know, in some ways inevitable.
- 25:40Speaker 2: Okay.
- 25:40Speaker 3: So the first and obvious answer, particularly from someone who
- 25:43Speaker 3: wrote a book on a tribalism, is that it's the
- 25:48Speaker 3: group thing, and it's the tribal view of the world.
- 25:53Speaker 3: It's this giving up of the effort to try to
- 25:55Speaker 3: understand the world, to try to see for yourself by
- 25:59Speaker 3: using your mind, what is happening out there. So you
- 26:01Speaker 3: just follow some easy hopes, soft down your throat in
- 26:05Speaker 3: this ecod chamber. And this has a very big advantage.
- 26:08Speaker 3: It resolves your responsibility. Now you don't have to do
- 26:11Speaker 3: anything difficult, you don't have to achieve anything. You have
- 26:15Speaker 3: internalized this garbage that you're an avator of your identity,
- 26:20Speaker 3: and you have internalized this garbage that you are not
- 26:25Speaker 3: you the individual you are, you know, a white boy
- 26:29Speaker 3: in the twenty first century, twenty first century world. And
- 26:34Speaker 3: you could say, okay, this is how the followers think.
- 26:37Speaker 3: But what about the leaders? How do they form their
- 26:42Speaker 3: opinions and how do they all end up with the
- 26:44Speaker 3: same predictable tropes from anti vax to anti semities. And
- 26:49Speaker 3: I want to say one more thing here about these
- 26:52Speaker 3: predictable tropes. Maybe it's a tasteless example, but I think
- 26:57Speaker 3: it's a good example. If you see what type of
- 27:00Speaker 3: conspiracy theories the belief.
- 27:03Speaker 2: It's a bit like.
- 27:05Speaker 3: And we know this with facts, that the generacy that
- 27:08Speaker 3: people go after when they if you see what people
- 27:13Speaker 3: starts important these days, they go to more and more
- 27:16Speaker 3: degenerate staff.
- 27:17Speaker 1: Yep.
- 27:18Speaker 2: Why because when.
- 27:19Speaker 3: You're hooked to the generasy you have, now the previous
- 27:23Speaker 3: de generessy is not enough. And the same thing happened
- 27:26Speaker 3: with the drug addicts, Like now marij alcohol is not enough,
- 27:31Speaker 3: you go to heroin. The same thing happens with conspiracy theories.
- 27:35Speaker 3: Now it's not enough that it's a gate that's not
- 27:37Speaker 3: a good hit. Now the vaccine thing is not good enough.
- 27:42Speaker 3: Now you have to go to the Jewish question. Now
- 27:45Speaker 3: you have to go to the Holocaust. Now you have
- 27:47Speaker 3: to go to the Hitler was a great leader for Germany,
- 27:52Speaker 3: because your mind is so destroyed that you need this extra,
- 27:57Speaker 3: this extra heat of And here here we get to
- 28:01Speaker 3: the question how do they form these views? They form
- 28:05Speaker 3: their views via contrarianism. Our views and our viewers need
- 28:11Speaker 3: to get this because they will understand not just the
- 28:13Speaker 3: Manu's here, they will understand way more.
- 28:16Speaker 2: Contyanism is. Let's put it, the final boss of tribalism.
- 28:20Speaker 3: So the tribalist asks himself, how does my tribe think?
- 28:25Speaker 3: And then adopt the same position. The contrarian takes it
- 28:29Speaker 3: a step further. He does not ask what does my
- 28:33Speaker 3: tribe think? He asks what does the opposite tribe believe?
- 28:40Speaker 3: And then he adopts the opposite view, For example, globalists
- 28:46Speaker 3: like you create. Therefore, I'll be with putting the liberal
- 28:51Speaker 3: elits told me that the Holocust was a bad thing.
- 28:54Speaker 3: I will say that the Holocaust either did not happen
- 28:58Speaker 3: or the Jews had it coming. Ye, my teachers told
- 29:01Speaker 3: me that Hitler was a bad guy in World War Two.
- 29:03Speaker 2: I would believe Hitler is a good guy.
- 29:05Speaker 3: So this is a moral the generacy, which actually I
- 29:09Speaker 3: don't know what's beyond Like in Hitler, I don't know
- 29:12Speaker 3: what's the next step.
- 29:13Speaker 2: Of the generacy. But yeah, I see I see it
- 29:17Speaker 2: as as this exactly.
- 29:19Speaker 3: It's contradan is that needs a straw, a more potent drug,
- 29:25Speaker 3: and it will go for whatever drag will give it.
- 29:28Speaker 3: This this, I don't know how to put this a
- 29:33Speaker 3: dopamin fixed.
- 29:34Speaker 1: It's interesting that it always ends up with the anti Semitism. Wait,
- 29:38Speaker 1: I mean that it always leads towards that, right, if
- 29:41Speaker 1: you go back to the thirties, if you go back
- 29:43Speaker 1: even in the nineteenth century, it seems like this chain
- 29:47Speaker 1: of thinking, what's not really thinking, this chain of emoting
- 29:52Speaker 1: ultimately gets them to the ultimate conspiracy, which is the Jews.
- 29:55Speaker 1: That it seems to be kind of at the heart
- 29:58Speaker 1: of all conspiracies and west than in the Western world.
- 30:01Speaker 1: It's uh. I think it's so deeply ingrained culturally in
- 30:08Speaker 1: you know, going back to going back to the story
- 30:10Speaker 1: of Jesus, that you know, it's the original conspiracy theory
- 30:14Speaker 1: it's it's the original. It's it's where it all starts,
- 30:17Speaker 1: and they and they always gravitate towards it. So so
- 30:22Speaker 1: let's let's step back a minute and and ask the question, So,
- 30:30Speaker 1: you know, what is it about the world out there?
- 30:35Speaker 1: What is it about both feminism and about modern women
- 30:39Speaker 1: more generally that is really that might provide some legitimacy
- 30:46Speaker 1: to the angst some of these people are feeling and
- 30:49Speaker 1: therefore looking for answers. What what has changed that that
- 30:54Speaker 1: requires men to rethink where they are in their position.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Well, if you.
- 31:01Speaker 3: Work in any big institution like a university, the Soviet
- 31:05Speaker 3: type of propaganda when it comes to feminism is so
- 31:09Speaker 3: tasteless that at some point you you say, Okay, I
- 31:13Speaker 3: want something to put an end in this. I mean,
- 31:15Speaker 3: I've I've admitted it both in twenty to sixteen, in
- 31:20Speaker 3: twenty twenty, in twenty twenty four for me twice, for
- 31:24Speaker 3: me three times. I thought the Trump in all these
- 31:27Speaker 3: times was the lesser of two evils, particularly while I
- 31:31Speaker 3: was in academia, because it was so bizarre, disgusting and
- 31:37Speaker 3: actually suffocating an intellectual environment where I went to you know,
- 31:42Speaker 3: the visual option. Whoever is against this please, someone put
- 31:45Speaker 3: a stop on this. Put please, someone put a stop
- 31:48Speaker 3: on it. Having to you, if you teach in social
- 31:51Speaker 3: sciences and half of the curriculums, then the tribe up
- 31:56Speaker 3: you you you, you want to.
- 31:58Speaker 2: Have something to revolve against this.
- 32:02Speaker 3: Now, Also, it is not a lie that yeah there
- 32:06Speaker 3: is there is no let's say, celebration of masculinity in
- 32:11Speaker 3: the culture. Like it's very rare that these days you
- 32:14Speaker 3: find TV series or films where there's a healthy male
- 32:19Speaker 3: character who is let's say a good example to give
- 32:22Speaker 3: a positive example of this. Many people these days they
- 32:26Speaker 3: remember the film Master and Commander, which is a white
- 32:30Speaker 3: guy who is a good male role male role model.
- 32:35Speaker 3: Now I don't think this is that rare. For example,
- 32:38Speaker 3: you could say Interstellar had a good male role model
- 32:43Speaker 3: James Bond, but it is not. Mostly you get all
- 32:46Speaker 3: this about the power and all that, and people found
- 32:50Speaker 3: all this indoctrination they founded, they founded.
- 32:57Speaker 2: Of bad texts.
- 32:58Speaker 3: But I think the biggest, the biggest damage that feminine
- 33:02Speaker 3: has done is that it passed this victim of mentality
- 33:06Speaker 3: also to men. So this is the biggest damage of feminism.
- 33:10Speaker 3: It's not that you know, men don't have promotion opportunities
- 33:14Speaker 3: in the workplace. It is that we have bought into
- 33:18Speaker 3: this victim of mentality. We have bought into this I
- 33:23Speaker 3: have no agentsy the world is doing things to me,
- 33:25Speaker 3: which is so unmasculine, right. It's like the idea of
- 33:28Speaker 3: masculinity is you impose your let's say, your will to.
- 33:33Speaker 2: On age, because your will on the universe.
- 33:35Speaker 3: It's like this line in the Fountain where how our
- 33:38Speaker 3: drug says to come and asking like why do you
- 33:41Speaker 3: want to give to be an architect? And he says
- 33:43Speaker 3: something like I love this earth. I can't stand it
- 33:47Speaker 3: how it is. I want to change it. I'm paraphrasing this.
- 33:50Speaker 3: This is what has been missing. And one of the
- 33:53Speaker 3: reasons it has been missing is feminists not the only reason.
- 33:57Speaker 3: It is generally that we have lost this idea of agency.
- 34:00Speaker 3: We have lost of these ideas.
- 34:01Speaker 2: That I can't do things. I can create new worlds.
- 34:07Speaker 3: I can start the world as someone I think who
- 34:10Speaker 3: is hardly in the Manucy has put it like, this
- 34:12Speaker 3: is exactly what.
- 34:15Speaker 2: Has been has been missed. But how do you how
- 34:17Speaker 2: do you view it? What do you think are there?
- 34:19Speaker 2: I mean it even.
- 34:22Speaker 1: It seems that what has been missed is the ultimate
- 34:27Speaker 1: source of values and and and you know which is
- 34:30Speaker 1: which is the human mind. So some men could get
- 34:35Speaker 1: away with being physically strongled with women gave them a
- 34:40Speaker 1: certain advantage in reality up until I don't know, one
- 34:44Speaker 1: hundred years ago. And and women needed to be protected,
- 34:47Speaker 1: they needed an income, And men could get away with
- 34:50Speaker 1: just being physical and and and once the job market
- 34:57Speaker 1: and the world became much more focused on the human
- 35:00Speaker 1: mind and politically, women were free to uh to to
- 35:07Speaker 1: you know, go on their own and and uh and
- 35:10Speaker 1: and go into the work place. Suddenly the men who
- 35:14Speaker 1: who neglected the mind suddenly realized how what an inferior
- 35:18Speaker 1: position they're in. Not only they're now competing now women
- 35:22Speaker 1: don't need them indeed, because they don't need the physical
- 35:25Speaker 1: strength because physical strength is not as important in the
- 35:28Speaker 1: modern world as it as it was in the in
- 35:31Speaker 1: the old world. And they refuse to you know, and
- 35:35Speaker 1: and there's all more competition for jobs because you've got
- 35:38Speaker 1: to you know, more people coming into entering the market.
- 35:42Speaker 1: And if our educational system has de emphasized the mind,
- 35:47Speaker 1: uh and you still hold on to I think what
- 35:49Speaker 1: are older views of masculinity as being physical as it's
- 35:53Speaker 1: all about physical strength. Then you are lost, you know,
- 35:57Speaker 1: you you don't know where to go. You see women
- 36:02Speaker 1: doing better than you, you see other men doing better
- 36:04Speaker 1: than you. You're strong, but that doesn't seem to get
- 36:08Speaker 1: you anywhere. That doesn't seem to This is part of
- 36:10Speaker 1: the manisphere. Right. They taught them how to get strong,
- 36:13Speaker 1: they taught them how to get out, to eat healthy.
- 36:16Speaker 1: But what didn't they teach them. They didn't teach them
- 36:18Speaker 1: how to think, They didn't teach them how to reason.
- 36:20Speaker 1: They didn't teach them the actual tools that lead to
- 36:23Speaker 1: success in a world or in it. It was the
- 36:27Speaker 1: mind rather than towards muscle. I mean that is modernity, modernity,
- 36:31Speaker 1: the positive modernity is the mind is what matters. Right,
- 36:35Speaker 1: you know, we've h this is the whole thing. We've
- 36:38Speaker 1: we've replaced muscle with machines and what what is? You know,
- 36:44Speaker 1: most most valued now is a mind and that and
- 36:48Speaker 1: a lot of man I've been left behind by that,
- 36:50Speaker 1: and I think they're super frustrated and they don't know
- 36:53Speaker 1: what to do with it, and they're intimidated by smart, successful,
- 37:01Speaker 1: ambitious women because lets you remember, feminism, first generation feminism,
- 37:07Speaker 1: let's call it or whatever, actually did liberate women to
- 37:12Speaker 1: go out there into the workplace and be successful and
- 37:15Speaker 1: achieve stuff for themselves. And men don't know how to
- 37:18Speaker 1: deal with that. They haven't learned how to deal with that,
- 37:20Speaker 1: and the manisphere didn't teach them there. It's the one
- 37:23Speaker 1: that literally women as helpless, you know, maidens looking for
- 37:29Speaker 1: a strong guy to come swoop them off their feet.
- 37:33Speaker 3: But if this is the case, then these men had
- 37:35Speaker 3: the wrong view of masculinity, because already from Homer's time,
- 37:40Speaker 3: the ideal masculinemads is also that you're a man of
- 37:43Speaker 3: the mind. What is the nickname of all the seals
- 37:47Speaker 3: I have? The Greek thing polymichanos. This means someone who
- 37:50Speaker 3: is very.
- 37:51Speaker 2: Good at thinking, yep.
- 37:53Speaker 3: Or even if you go to a more let's say,
- 37:56Speaker 3: universally additional positive male model.
- 38:00Speaker 2: The novel saying I never pronounced that.
- 38:04Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Shane say h a n e. Yes.
- 38:09Speaker 3: The first thing that the kid notices about saying is
- 38:12Speaker 3: his perceptiveness.
- 38:14Speaker 2: Same is no huge.
- 38:16Speaker 3: I mean, he has these edge of violence in his aura,
- 38:20Speaker 3: but his perceptive and it reminds me a lot of
- 38:23Speaker 3: Randian hero So this idea that.
- 38:25Speaker 2: Masculinity is just about your jactor. You can beat people up.
- 38:29Speaker 3: Usually Andrew Tate whenever someone disagrees with me is like, okay,
- 38:33Speaker 3: time in the octagon, let's fight it out.
- 38:34Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
- 38:35Speaker 3: Even with even with male simple stuff, everyone would agree
- 38:40Speaker 3: this is a healthy example of masculinity, like saying always
- 38:44Speaker 3: they are men of the mind. I mean, Achilles is
- 38:47Speaker 3: a man of the mind. It's I can't think of
- 38:49Speaker 3: any traditional even Hercules uses tricks.
- 38:55Speaker 1: But you have to read that into it, right. The
- 38:58Speaker 1: thing that makes them havoic is their courage and their strength.
- 39:02Speaker 1: And you know, you can see the mind and the
- 39:05Speaker 1: Greeks right writing this, so you know, classical Greeks is
- 39:09Speaker 1: all about the mind. But that's and this is why,
- 39:12Speaker 1: for example, what does the modern new right elevate right,
- 39:18Speaker 1: at least the the at a certain extreme of it.
- 39:20Speaker 1: It's the Bronze Age, right, Bronze Age privet right. And
- 39:23Speaker 1: what's the Bonze Age. It's pre Greece, it's pre the
- 39:27Speaker 1: discovery of the mind. It's pre philosophy, it's pre ideas,
- 39:30Speaker 1: it's pre thinking. It's Cone and the Barbarian Cone and
- 39:33Speaker 1: the Barbarian Right. And I don't know, I can't remember
- 39:36Speaker 1: the movie well enough to know does he use his
- 39:38Speaker 1: mind or not. But that's not what we think about
- 39:41Speaker 1: when we think about Schwarzeneger writing on a horse with
- 39:44Speaker 1: those massive muscles and wielding a sword. We think about
- 39:48Speaker 1: physical strength. That is the that is the essential. And
- 39:53Speaker 1: there's a certain and you know, it's Marxism, right, it's
- 39:56Speaker 1: it's the idea of materialism. It's it's it's and you
- 40:00Speaker 1: don't say, it's a certain idea about work and what
- 40:05Speaker 1: work constitutes, which the mind does not play a big
- 40:09Speaker 1: role in it. And in a factory, a lot of
- 40:12Speaker 1: the jobs physical jobs, but there are very few factory
- 40:18Speaker 1: jobs today. There are very few physical jobs today. There's
- 40:20Speaker 1: very few realms in the world today where you can
- 40:25Speaker 1: get away with physicality. I mean, I think a big
- 40:28Speaker 1: reason why, you know, violent sports, which I'm not a
- 40:33Speaker 1: fan of, I think, you know, so popular, the cage
- 40:38Speaker 1: matches and all of that, is because you know, people
- 40:42Speaker 1: are hearkening back to a past where physicality that you know,
- 40:46Speaker 1: that really that really mattered, and that and and you
- 40:50Speaker 1: got your self esteem from that, you got yourself comment
- 40:52Speaker 1: and they don't know, they still haven't adapted to a
- 40:56Speaker 1: world and which what matters is the mind, and because
- 40:59Speaker 1: what matters is the mind. Women have minds. They don't
- 41:03Speaker 1: have muscle, but they have minds. And uh and and
- 41:06Speaker 1: and that's hard for men, I think to grasp in
- 41:09Speaker 1: the modern era, could.
- 41:12Speaker 2: Be, could be, could be. But again, this would be
- 41:16Speaker 2: a curric cauture of men. Sure, I don't think that someone.
- 41:20Speaker 3: With a healthy view of again masculinity as as like
- 41:25Speaker 3: the world out there is my owster.
- 41:27Speaker 2: It would be very weird. Actually, there's something.
- 41:32Speaker 3: I don't want to say feminine, but stereotypically non masculine
- 41:37Speaker 3: into this energy of gaussip, of resentment in the within
- 41:42Speaker 3: the manosphere. That half of the content of manosphere is
- 41:46Speaker 3: they invite only fuans model and they make fun of
- 41:50Speaker 3: them or whatever. There's something very again I don't want
- 41:54Speaker 3: to like, stereotypically non masculine. I'll put it this way.
- 41:57Speaker 3: With this type of attitude and with this type.
- 41:59Speaker 1: Of I think that comes from victimhood. It comes from
- 42:03Speaker 1: this idea of victimhood, and it comes to the idea
- 42:05Speaker 1: of of the negation. Once you negate the mind, what
- 42:09Speaker 1: are you left with? You're left with emotions and frustrations
- 42:13Speaker 1: and feeling of victimhood and and yeah, the kind of gossip,
- 42:19Speaker 1: the whining that all of this. That's that's when you
- 42:24Speaker 1: you know, if you have a mind, you don't let
- 42:27Speaker 1: yourself you don't go there. It has no appeal and
- 42:30Speaker 1: it has no interest because you're too busy figuring out
- 42:33Speaker 1: the next thing. You're too busy driving towards the next
- 42:36Speaker 1: I mean, it's a combination, of course, of not having
- 42:38Speaker 1: a mind, which leads to not having self esteem. So
- 42:40Speaker 1: it's this combination of a rejection of the mind and
- 42:45Speaker 1: not having self esteem which leads this movement to be
- 42:48Speaker 1: such a whiny and defensive and easily offended, you know,
- 42:56Speaker 1: movement or and you know, you see that with Mega
- 43:00Speaker 1: as well. You see how how easily offended MEGA is.
- 43:06Speaker 1: And you've got Trump you antient syndrome. I mean, it's
- 43:08Speaker 1: there's no argument, there's no debate, there's no anything. It's
- 43:11Speaker 1: pure emotion and defensiveness.
- 43:15Speaker 3: And let's see two more developments that add to all
- 43:20Speaker 3: these decadents. The one is that the Manos has discovered
- 43:26Speaker 3: the Christian nationalism and traditionalism. I mean, they're not the
- 43:31Speaker 3: same thing, but people hopefully get what I mean. So
- 43:35Speaker 3: now you have a lot of people saying, for example,
- 43:37Speaker 3: it was a mistake to give women rights such as
- 43:41Speaker 3: the right to vote. Recently, a Manosphere figure called the
- 43:46Speaker 3: Hayden mc dougall. He was to Jake Silds, who was
- 43:50Speaker 3: a former fighter, and the discussion was basically, after we
- 43:54Speaker 3: figure out the Jewish question, now everyone.
- 43:56Speaker 2: Talks about the Jewish questions. So we've achieved that, but
- 43:58Speaker 2: now we need to sort out the women's question. And
- 44:03Speaker 2: you could see, okay, who cares? Like these are fringe figures.
- 44:06Speaker 3: The one has more than a million followers on Instagram.
- 44:09Speaker 3: McDougall and Jake sils I said this mom has almost
- 44:13Speaker 3: a million followers on on on on Twitter, and Snicko
- 44:19Speaker 3: has also more than a million subscribers.
- 44:22Speaker 2: Now speak about Snico.
- 44:25Speaker 3: Everyone talks about the Manosphere to far right pipeline.
- 44:31Speaker 2: But what about the Manosphere to Islam pipeline.
- 44:36Speaker 3: So three of the figures who are big these days
- 44:38Speaker 3: in the manusphere Andrew Tad, Sniko they convert to Islam.
- 44:45Speaker 2: Myron Games he didn't have to convert, he was already Muslim.
- 44:49Speaker 3: And statistically this is a big this is this is weird, right,
- 44:53Speaker 3: and there's something there and what is there? It is
- 44:57Speaker 3: that it is to be expected that people who hat
- 45:00Speaker 3: liberalism and capitalism will find appeal in Islam.
- 45:04Speaker 1: Yep.
- 45:05Speaker 3: So the late Jonathan Bowden, who was the most prominent
- 45:08Speaker 3: intellectual figure of the far right in the UK. He
- 45:11Speaker 3: famously said that Islam is a very right wing worldview.
- 45:18Speaker 3: So he saw the potential that people who are disgusted
- 45:21Speaker 3: with feminism, with liberalism, they will find appeal to Islam.
- 45:25Speaker 3: And no one saw this clearer than misseell well Back,
- 45:29Speaker 3: the French author Have you read your own his novel Submission?
- 45:32Speaker 1: I did absolutely so?
- 45:35Speaker 3: Submission for people who don't know it. It was written
- 45:39Speaker 3: in twenty fifteen. It was about the not distant future.
- 45:42Speaker 3: So we are in France and in the second round
- 45:43Speaker 3: of the elections it is the National Front nationalist versus
- 45:48Speaker 3: something like the Muslim Brotherhood, the Muslim Party which is
- 45:51Speaker 3: supported by the left, and the Muslims win, and we
- 45:55Speaker 3: are somewhere like two fifths in the book. And now
- 45:58Speaker 3: we expect that there's going to be some crazy civil war.
- 46:02Speaker 3: Instead what happens is many of the far right people
- 46:06Speaker 3: and the socially concerned they.
- 46:10Speaker 2: Said one minutes this is not that bad.
- 46:12Speaker 3: I hate walk, the Muslims hate war. I want I
- 46:17Speaker 3: don't want women to have rights. Muslims don't want women
- 46:20Speaker 3: to have rights. I can find a woman, Muslims, tell
- 46:24Speaker 3: me you can have five of them. Were going to
- 46:25Speaker 3: give them to you?
- 46:26Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, So who will beg yes, yep, no, go ahead, yeah.
- 46:32Speaker 3: So who will beg for sid that these two movements,
- 46:35Speaker 3: so supposal that people who are going to save the West,
- 46:38Speaker 3: that you know, the critial concern of this all and stuff,
- 46:41Speaker 3: they are not as many miles away as they would
- 46:43Speaker 3: think from the Muslims.
- 46:45Speaker 2: And no one gets this from the book.
- 46:47Speaker 3: People read Submission and think, oh, it's a it's foretelling
- 46:50Speaker 3: the conflict of civilization. I mean, if only it foretells
- 46:54Speaker 3: the harmony of civilization.
- 46:56Speaker 1: It shows how weak the West is and how and
- 47:00Speaker 1: how as soon as Islam shows its strength, they all capitulate.
- 47:06Speaker 1: And they were part of the attraction is, you know,
- 47:10Speaker 1: men's distrust and suspicion of women, and yet they need
- 47:15Speaker 1: for women. And this I mean here we're talking about
- 47:17Speaker 1: the hero. The hero in quotation marks of the novel
- 47:20Speaker 1: is an intellectual. He's a professor at the university, and
- 47:24Speaker 1: he has these relationships with women and and and so on.
- 47:27Speaker 1: But at some point he's like four wives, okay, that
- 47:32Speaker 1: that kind of appeals to him. And it's it's it's
- 47:35Speaker 1: a it's a lady.
- 47:36Speaker 3: Money he gets, he gets pension from the age of
- 47:40Speaker 3: forty or something, yep.
- 47:41Speaker 2: And and Gatari money or some of the money.
- 47:44Speaker 1: Yes, so they easily they give him money. They you know,
- 47:47Speaker 1: he gets wives. Life becomes easy. Life, conflicts disappear, although
- 47:53Speaker 1: four wives, you know, you know, I challenge you not
- 47:56Speaker 1: to have conflicts, but you know they he his whole
- 48:00Speaker 1: life becomes smooth and easier. In the novel, he realizes
- 48:05Speaker 1: that his mind is being dull. There's a sudden sense
- 48:09Speaker 1: in which there's more and more and more evasion going on,
- 48:12Speaker 1: and his mind is narrow and how and how and
- 48:15Speaker 1: that is is really powerful that the author gets that.
- 48:21Speaker 1: But there is this you know it again, it's what
- 48:24Speaker 1: is the attraction of Islam? Islam is submission? What is
- 48:28Speaker 1: the attraction of submission? The attraction is it's it's it's
- 48:33Speaker 1: but it's power. But it's more than that. It's my numbinginess.
- 48:38Speaker 1: It's the fact that you can now become an animal.
- 48:42Speaker 2: You know.
- 48:42Speaker 1: This goes back to kind of the matosphere, right. They
- 48:46Speaker 1: think of human beings as animals as deterministic animals. And uh,
- 48:54Speaker 1: you know what what submission does because eradicates your frontal lobe.
- 48:59Speaker 1: In a sense, it eradicates your your reason. What is
- 49:05Speaker 1: a human being without reason? It's just an animal. He's
- 49:08Speaker 1: a terministic animal. You know, you're going back to I
- 49:13Speaker 1: like the garden a viden metaphor, right, the god Viden
- 49:16Speaker 1: is the metaphor of pre reason human beings. Right, you
- 49:22Speaker 1: have no mind and there's a certain there's a certain
- 49:27Speaker 1: ease to that, and you get that in the novel.
- 49:30Speaker 1: Everything becomes easier for him, but it become easier for
- 49:33Speaker 1: him because he's you know, destroyed.
- 49:40Speaker 3: He also loses his will to even desire. Yes, he
- 49:44Speaker 3: has one woman he's in love with. He's a Jew woman.
- 49:48Speaker 3: He goes over to Israel before the Muslim brad who
- 49:51Speaker 3: takes power. He can literally take an airplane. He thinks
- 49:54Speaker 3: about he's the only woman who wakes up something sexual.
- 49:58Speaker 2: He doesn't care about the four wives. He actually there's only.
- 50:01Speaker 3: One and he doesn't even bother together on an applem
- 50:04Speaker 3: to go because everything has died inside him.
- 50:07Speaker 1: Yep, and that is you know, that is what happens
- 50:13Speaker 1: when you adapt these horrific ideas, and it's it is
- 50:21Speaker 1: Islam is just a great manifestation of that in the
- 50:24Speaker 1: modern world, and it's scary as as you know. I
- 50:28Speaker 1: think the appeal is primarily men, but think about all
- 50:30Speaker 1: the women during the Isis peak isis right twenty fourteen,
- 50:37Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. Think about how many women left France and
- 50:41Speaker 1: England and volunteer to go to Syria to become the
- 50:46Speaker 1: wives of these guys. There's there's again, submission, the negation
- 50:50Speaker 1: of your own mind, the submission of your own will,
- 50:54Speaker 1: is attractive to certain type of human being. I hesitate
- 51:00Speaker 1: to call them human, but but to certain type of people.
- 51:03Speaker 1: They they want the numbness, they want the emptiness in
- 51:09Speaker 1: a sense in the mind.
- 51:11Speaker 2: They that angle, that's a very interesting angle.
- 51:15Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, think about how many people volunteered to
- 51:18Speaker 1: join Isis when Isis was deemed to be successful, and
- 51:22Speaker 1: it's it's again, what were they looking for? They thought
- 51:24Speaker 1: Isis were warriors, masculine warriors, and not only did men
- 51:29Speaker 1: get attracted to that, but a lot of women did.
- 51:33Speaker 1: And so it's it's a it's a it's a statement
- 51:35Speaker 1: about our culture that there are people out there who
- 51:40Speaker 1: still seek that. I mean Lenning Peakoff once said something
- 51:43Speaker 1: that's always intrigued me a long time ago. It's like
- 51:48Speaker 1: the will you know, the culture is not ready for objectivism.
- 51:52Speaker 1: We haven't evolved to the point where where the culture
- 51:55Speaker 1: can accept objectivism and ares the what is that mean?
- 52:00Speaker 1: Cultural evolution? What does that mean? And there's still these
- 52:03Speaker 1: remnants of ancient ideas that still appeal to a big
- 52:09Speaker 1: chunk of the population. They're still attracted to bobbism and
- 52:15Speaker 1: and that's scary because it means it can come back.
- 52:18Speaker 3: And people also talked about about skisophremia, how about the
- 52:23Speaker 3: skidsophrenic altitude in the monocere and particularly in the mix
- 52:29Speaker 3: with Pua. We're going to teach you how to sleep
- 52:33Speaker 3: with only funs type of women, but it despies them
- 52:37Speaker 3: because they're the speakable morally. And then somehow you're gonna
- 52:41Speaker 3: find the tlad corn wife with the summary dress, who's
- 52:45Speaker 3: going to give you all these kids?
- 52:47Speaker 2: So what are you telling me?
- 52:49Speaker 3: You want me to be attracted to only fan host
- 52:53Speaker 3: But Mary, like, how how.
- 52:54Speaker 2: Is this going to happen?
- 52:55Speaker 3: How am I going to get attracted to something that
- 52:58Speaker 3: you are telling me?
- 52:59Speaker 2: Is this pick up.
- 53:00Speaker 3: So it is this how we call it. It's not
- 53:03Speaker 3: even mind body Diacotta. It's even more. It's like soul,
- 53:06Speaker 3: mind body, everything, Dichotta. It's like trichoto me.
- 53:11Speaker 1: And why would a woman, this trad wife be attracted
- 53:14Speaker 1: to you for sleeping with all these you know, meaningless women.
- 53:20Speaker 1: What is gonna what is going to be attracted about that?
- 53:22Speaker 1: But but that's also interesting, you know, the the whole
- 53:25Speaker 1: idea of trad wives is so I mean, it's so
- 53:34Speaker 1: suggestive of what these people really really want. You know.
- 53:38Speaker 1: They want somebody to submit to them. They want somebody
- 53:42Speaker 1: who's not they equal, They want somebody they can look
- 53:45Speaker 1: down on. Uh, it's not just an issue of division
- 53:48Speaker 1: of labor. It's it's much more. It's much deeper than that.
- 53:54Speaker 3: Think of Think of what a difficult time Peter Keating
- 53:58Speaker 3: has with Dominique. Sees this mirror that puts in front
- 54:01Speaker 3: of him all the time that he's nothing, he's a nobody. Yep,
- 54:04Speaker 3: he would be so much better with Kate, who wouldn't
- 54:08Speaker 3: expect nothing, who'd expect nothing. He could pretend, he could
- 54:12Speaker 3: keep pretending that he's something, because there is no mirror
- 54:15Speaker 3: there to see.
- 54:16Speaker 2: That you're nothing. But Dominique is a mirror, and he
- 54:18Speaker 2: sees that he's nothing.
- 54:20Speaker 1: Yes, And and these people don't want him ever they
- 54:24Speaker 1: want and nothing, they want nothing. So they're looking for
- 54:27Speaker 1: a woman who will be quite happy and satisfied being
- 54:31Speaker 1: their servant, a woman who will just you know, cook
- 54:34Speaker 1: and clean and have their kids and have no ambition
- 54:38Speaker 1: beyond you know, pleasing them in some way. I mean,
- 54:42Speaker 1: how pathetic do you have to be as a man?
- 54:45Speaker 1: I mean, aw pathetic do you have to be as
- 54:47Speaker 1: a man to want that kind of a woman, as
- 54:51Speaker 1: as as your soulmate, as the person you're going to
- 54:54Speaker 1: spend the rest of your life with and and be
- 54:56Speaker 1: committed to. How unambitious and empty you have to be
- 55:00Speaker 1: to seek out something like that. We're being called we're
- 55:05Speaker 1: being called communists for having this view of men on.
- 55:08Speaker 2: The chair, Communists of all things.
- 55:11Speaker 1: Yes, because we believe in equality men and women somehow,
- 55:16Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 55:17Speaker 3: No, we believe in the inequality of the person who
- 55:21Speaker 3: expects that she's gonna find a woman who's gonna give
- 55:25Speaker 3: him the egalitarian free past that. Yeah, I'm gonna you know,
- 55:28Speaker 3: I'm gonna admire even if you haven't done anything admirable,
- 55:31Speaker 3: and you you should expect my admiration no matter what,
- 55:37Speaker 3: even if I'm not admirra So it's it's no, that's
- 55:40Speaker 3: actually actually trant and him.
- 55:44Speaker 1: It's it's a yeah, I mean it's people like this.
- 55:47Speaker 1: He was also praising Islam a few minutes ago, so
- 55:50Speaker 1: it's not too surprising. I mean, it's it's a pathetic
- 55:53Speaker 1: mentality of men who want the unearned, and who who
- 55:59Speaker 1: who want who lack any kind of self esteem, and
- 56:02Speaker 1: who you know, just want to be You don't want
- 56:07Speaker 1: to be serviced, they don't want a relationship, they don't
- 56:11Speaker 1: want Actually, again, it goes back to the mind. Right.
- 56:13Speaker 1: If you don't value the mind, then there's not much there.
- 56:18Speaker 1: There's there's not much left in life.
- 56:24Speaker 3: And I learned, I learned more from this. This gave
- 56:28Speaker 3: me a lot of food for thought. I need to
- 56:31Speaker 3: process further that stuff.
- 56:33Speaker 1: Okay, good good. Somebody shows Butters wants us to do
- 56:38Speaker 1: a movie review together. What a movie called Starman from
- 56:45Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four. I've starbu Starman. I think I saw
- 56:53Speaker 1: the movie, but I can't I can't remember. Anyway, He's
- 56:56Speaker 1: giving us a thousand dollars to do it because I
- 56:58Speaker 1: figure we'll do it. We are reviewing Starman absolutely so,
- 57:04Speaker 1: so look it up, look it up.
- 57:07Speaker 3: But also joking aside. First of all, a huge thank
- 57:10Speaker 3: you to people who donate, and a huge thank you
- 57:13Speaker 3: to Ryan. People might have noticed today I'm standing through this,
- 57:17Speaker 3: So someone sending the message for me to buy a
- 57:20Speaker 3: standing desk so I can move around.
- 57:23Speaker 1: I don't need to better for you're back. It's good,
- 57:26Speaker 1: it's good for everything.
- 57:27Speaker 3: It's good for And also we can have if occasion
- 57:32Speaker 3: calls for it, that can be three hours, four hours.
- 57:35Speaker 2: If Rogan can do it, we can do it.
- 57:37Speaker 3: If people find value and participate for three hours.
- 57:40Speaker 1: They have to they have to ask a lot of questions,
- 57:42Speaker 1: a lot of questions. What what what more do we
- 57:45Speaker 1: want to say about? I mean, how do you how
- 57:47Speaker 1: do you see when and how do you see the
- 57:50Speaker 1: involvement of characters like Andrew Tait in this movement? When
- 57:55Speaker 1: did they enter? And and again what is the what
- 57:59Speaker 1: is the app because there's no self improvement here, and
- 58:04Speaker 1: he's so obviously a predator on women. Who is who
- 58:12Speaker 1: is he appealing to? And and you know, what does
- 58:17Speaker 1: it mean in what what's step in this direction? Does
- 58:21Speaker 1: this does this occur?
- 58:23Speaker 3: Yes, So Andrew Tate enters the scene in the post
- 58:28Speaker 3: twenty fifteen era. So this is the time where the
- 58:30Speaker 3: monosphere is not anymore just about eight a vice or
- 58:35Speaker 3: self improvement or even the red pill. Now it participates
- 58:38Speaker 3: in this attention economy and it participates in the culture works.
- 58:42Speaker 3: So Tit has some things going on as him. First
- 58:46Speaker 3: of all, no matter you know, whatever we say about
- 58:49Speaker 3: his character, he has chartisma and being funny and all
- 58:54Speaker 3: that stuff. So in the attention economy, he's geared to
- 58:58Speaker 3: he's geared to do to do well. But even with Tait,
- 59:02Speaker 3: there is a there is a trajectory where you start
- 59:05Speaker 3: from being a funny guy who says edgy things, then
- 59:08Speaker 3: you push a boundary with me Sotaly, and then you
- 59:10Speaker 3: go to deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper and
- 59:13Speaker 3: deeper and deeper past. So the question is what do
- 59:17Speaker 3: people find there. I'll try to steal money. And you
- 59:23Speaker 3: saw Tate sooner than I did. I remember me and
- 59:26Speaker 3: you around two thousand and twenty would disagree the command.
- 59:30Speaker 2: It's not that bad. It's just, you know, a fun
- 59:32Speaker 2: provocative guy.
- 59:33Speaker 3: You hadn't seen things back then that I hadn't, I
- 59:36Speaker 3: hadn't seen, but probably people. It's so rare these days
- 59:41Speaker 3: to find someone who says, you know what, I'm proud
- 59:45Speaker 3: for my achievements and proud for my wealth. I'm proud
- 59:49Speaker 3: for me being a physically fit. I'm proud for being
- 59:54Speaker 3: ambitious to make money, to conquer the world. And there
- 59:57Speaker 3: is the way that you can see Tate and innocently
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: see this ambition, this pride that life can be better
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: or by what, by what it is. So this is
- 1:00:11Speaker 3: I think the appeal that these were boys who got
- 1:00:16Speaker 3: raised with the model that says, know your place, you know,
- 1:00:21Speaker 3: sit down there, quiet, go. Life shouldn't be anything, don't
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: rock the boat. And they see someone who does rock
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: the boat, who is ambitious in every aspect of life,
- 1:00:34Speaker 3: and they say, here is a rebel, Here is a
- 1:00:37Speaker 3: countercultural figure.
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: So they would view Tait in the same way as
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: in the sixthes, they.
- 1:00:42Speaker 3: Would view Allen Ginsberg and the other protagonists of the
- 1:00:48Speaker 3: new left hoood sock. The consciousness of the of the
- 1:00:53Speaker 3: power elits, and the power these days was feminism and
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: these things. So they thought, here is a well and
- 1:01:01Speaker 3: again being funny and being all that stuff.
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: Knowing how to use social media.
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: This this helping, This is how he found himselflf in
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: discussion in the content economy, with the manosphere figures and
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: becoming himself one.
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: And when it becomes clear that he is abusing women
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: and tweats them like you know, flesh and and nothing
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: more than that, does that hurt him in a manusphere?
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: Does that actually raise his profile? But you know the well,
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: the thing.
- 1:01:33Speaker 3: The thing with take is this was never quote revealed
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: because he was very open with all with all this,
- 1:01:40Speaker 3: So the quest again the question, the level is so
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: low at this point that anything goes if Tate goes,
- 1:01:50Speaker 3: if Holocaust, So let's be different, if Holocaust denial goes,
- 1:01:55Speaker 3: why wouldn't Tate fly in this in this space? If
- 1:02:00Speaker 3: now we are seriously having podcasts watched by millions of
- 1:02:04Speaker 3: people where we're discussing the Jewish question, yep, tait is
- 1:02:09Speaker 3: it's it's it's to be expected that, Yeah, he's gonna
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: be a towering figure in this in this miliare, he's
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: actually way more articulate than you look. Although himself, of course,
- 1:02:24Speaker 3: he's also asked he was actually the first was pushing
- 1:02:27Speaker 3: the boundaries, mentioning the Jews and all that stuff on
- 1:02:29Speaker 3: Twitter when no one did it, So he needs the
- 1:02:32Speaker 3: extra moral culpability of he being let's say, the the
- 1:02:38Speaker 3: advanced troops that attack that territory and then the rest
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: city is safe. Now we can't talk about the Jews.
- 1:02:46Speaker 3: And then they also they the infantry. Let's say it follows,
- 1:02:51Speaker 3: but Tait was the advanced troops.
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: But it seems like it seems to me like before
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: we go to the Jews, the first step was diminishing women.
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: That a step one was to make women into this,
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: you know, mindless and and you know easily to exploit
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: an okay, to exploit thing, right, Uh as Tate does,
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: you know, lie to them, whatever it takes to have
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: sex with them, it doesn't matter. And uh and and
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: and that's the nature of them. And that's you know,
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: you're you're you're not you're not doing them harm because
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: this is what they were built for kind of attitude
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: to dehumanize women and people who attracted to that. And
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: then you know, de immunizing Jews on top of that,
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: you know, is not that big of a deal. Right, Women,
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: in some sense a closer to most of these people
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: who probably never met aed you uh than Jews a
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: uh So it's it's uh, it's a process of dehumanizing.
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: And again to me, it's a process of taking the
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: mind out, you know, and and the negation of the
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: human mind that is at the heart of it. And
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: of course that's a hard of tribalism, right, if you
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: go back to your book, what's at the harder tribalism,
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: it's the individual human mind is irrelevant. It's you can't
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: discover truth by yourself. You can't. You can't know anything
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: as an individual.
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: Is the biggest Yeah, the biggest problem with traveling is
- 1:04:17Speaker 3: it makes you stupid. It literally makes you stupid because
- 1:04:21Speaker 3: it takes away the one thing. And let me take
- 1:04:24Speaker 3: it fair. I think it makes people like Tape who
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: start with some ambitious, some spark. I think he's way
- 1:04:32Speaker 3: more stupid today than ten years ago. How can you
- 1:04:34Speaker 3: spend your life even if you don't believe this thing?
- 1:04:37Speaker 3: Sometimes I think this about Alex Jones, like I wonder
- 1:04:40Speaker 3: does Alex Jones believe these things? Because he seems to me,
- 1:04:44Speaker 3: or Attacker Castle does he believe? But the thing is,
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: it's a bit like Batman and Bruce Weyne. When you
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: wear the custom of Batman for so long, at some
- 1:04:53Speaker 3: point you become that. So at some point it doesn't
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: matter whether Alex Jones believe these things. He lives in
- 1:04:58Speaker 3: that world, so he does become this low intelligence person,
- 1:05:04Speaker 3: even if some years ago you could say he's a
- 1:05:06Speaker 3: clever guy who's just grifting. So at this point, it
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: doesn't matter if they're grifting or if they believe these things.
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: They have destroyed first and foremost also their own their
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: own mind there and their own brain cell.
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's a crucial point, you know, immorality. You know,
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: we talk about lying being bad for you. Yeah, this
- 1:05:27Speaker 1: kind of behavior is bad for you. It's unselfish. These
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: people have viewed as selfish, but it's self destructive. It
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: actually destroys their own ability to think that you tell
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: enough lies. It's not that you stop believing those lies,
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: it's it's the truth becomes impossible for you to discover.
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: You you create such pollution inside your own mind that
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: you can you can't sort it out, you can't clean
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: it up. Uh and and and that's what these people become.
- 1:05:58Speaker 3: And one last moment for anyone with some brain cells
- 1:06:02Speaker 3: in the chat, who is all to us? But at
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: least has years to listen. The worst thing by destroying
- 1:06:11Speaker 3: your mind, I mean the worst. The worst thing in
- 1:06:14Speaker 3: this context is also you cannot be one of the
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: men that you friends in the audience are admiring, because
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: if you want to change the world, if you were
- 1:06:24Speaker 3: to impose your will on the world, first you need
- 1:06:26Speaker 3: to understand the world. You need your connections to find
- 1:06:30Speaker 3: cause and effect, to figure out the course of action,
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: and you do this with your mind. Without mind your mind,
- 1:06:37Speaker 3: you cannot be such a figure. One of the first
- 1:06:41Speaker 3: viral videos of Tate, he said, two plus two is
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: not for because if I punch you, and if I
- 1:06:48Speaker 3: threatened to punch you, two plus two equals five.
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: So notice how Tait.
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: This is the same conclusion with the woke, with the
- 1:06:59Speaker 3: walkest of the work, who say two.
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: Plus two equals equals facts.
- 1:07:02Speaker 3: If you give up your mind, you cannot be an
- 1:07:07Speaker 3: Achilles a Hercules.
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: Now it does.
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: Or if we go to the more recent heroes of
- 1:07:15Speaker 3: the of enlightenment, who is way more obvious how they
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: use their mind. So you cannot be a great man
- 1:07:21Speaker 3: if you give up your mind.
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: Yes, and and know how visceral that is. With Tate,
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: that is if I punch you, physical force negates reason, right,
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: and that's exactly the point and he and he's right,
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: he wants to negate reason. He's all about the negation
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: of the human mind. So just to end kind of
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: our segment on a positive note, and then we'll go
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: to the questions, how would you describe a you know,
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: a rational masculinity, A proper view of masculinity.
- 1:08:06Speaker 3: I know, I have a view of how to make
- 1:08:10Speaker 3: my life and in extension, the world different and better.
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: I know why I want this, and decisively I take
- 1:08:21Speaker 3: action to do this. I don't know, I haven't got
- 1:08:23Speaker 3: a very good definition, but now on the spot, this
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: is the this is the best tag and do Maybe
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: it's also like that line you can't really describe civilization,
- 1:08:34Speaker 3: but I know it when I see it. This is
- 1:08:36Speaker 3: this is my reaction when I read something like saying,
- 1:08:39Speaker 3: or when you see the Adian figures, you notice that
- 1:08:43Speaker 3: there's something there. There is some aura there, there is
- 1:08:47Speaker 3: your sense that you're in the presence of a great
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: creator overcome a hero builder.
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: There's something Yep, Yeah, what's your definition?
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's something like that, and I
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: think to some extent the way it manifests has shifted.
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: That is.
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: Odysseus or Achilles. Yes they are. They are still clever men,
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: the men who think, but much of how they manifest
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: their changing the world is physical. Ultimately, they fight battles,
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: and and they do duels, and they they they go
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: to war, right and and and they go to war
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: over women often right. Whereas so there's a certain aspect
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: of you can understand why masculinity in the past was
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: very much associated with some kind of physical strength and
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: a and a and a and a physical projection in
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: physical projection of your physicality into the world. And again,
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: we live in a different era. We live in an
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: era where to change the world require does not acquire
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: taking up arms, and it still does periodically. You still
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: have to go fight sometimes, but that is not the
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: primary way in which you manifest yourself into the world.
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: You know. So to me, when I think, I mean,
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: I've said this on the show many times that my
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: image of masculinity is a Steve Jobs. Right, It's here's
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: a man of the mind standing on stage commanding an audience.
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: You know, he has a new product that's going to
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: change the world. And he's not a strong guy. He
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: doesn't have big muscles. He's but he is so much
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: in command of his world and of the people in
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: front of him and what's going on. He's command of
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: the largest company in the world. He's changing the world,
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: and every decision that he makes I mean to me.
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: He he stands up, so he's a to me. Masculinity
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: in the modern era is much more feature of self
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: esteem and mind than it is of physicality. So it's
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: still about going out and changing the world and acting
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: in the world, but that action is much more a
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: product of direct product of the mind rather than a
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: product of wielding a sword.
- 1:11:07Speaker 3: Your figure made me realize that I also have something
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: that comes to mind.
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: It's on the other spectrum of them. It's the mind.
- 1:11:15Speaker 3: But also, do you remember that scene when the Ideaf
- 1:11:19Speaker 3: rescues Noah, But not when they We didn't see the
- 1:11:23Speaker 3: scene with Noah.
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: We saw the scene with these two Israeli boys.
- 1:11:28Speaker 3: That were rescued, and the sword there gives him a
- 1:11:32Speaker 3: small leg fistbamp and he tells him it's gonna be okay.
- 1:11:36Speaker 3: That's the most moving thing I've seen in my life.
- 1:11:39Speaker 3: And the boy immediately relaxes because he believes him Yep.
- 1:11:44Speaker 3: That's masculinity. When you tell someone it's gonna be okay
- 1:11:48Speaker 3: and they believe you, like this is this for me?
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: It's I cannot explain it, but it capture is perfectly.
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: Good.
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: All Right, this has been a good discussion. Let's let's
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: see what our super chatter is. Well, you know, we've
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: got a goal for these just to remind everybody of
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a show. I think this will be
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: the first show where we make it. We're fourteen dollars short.
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: But that's finally because of Shaw's bots five hundred dollars
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: down payment for the movie review. So you know, he'll
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: give us the next five hundred next show when you know,
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: and we'll do the movie verse. So we have to
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: we have to go watch the movie now. So thank you, guys,
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: really really appreciate that. Let me let me check out
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: some of the stickers before we get to the questions. Bonnie,
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: thank you for the sticker. And let's see David David, David,
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: thank you for the fifty to fifty pounds. It looks
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: like pound stilling appreciate that.
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 1:13:01Speaker 1: M a R. I don't know, I just is not
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: going for the backwards in time. Oh anyway, Okay, I'm
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: using the one long long feature. Okay, uh they said
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: Stephen Hopper and uh Mitch and Mike and Katherine from
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: Europe and uh them and cook.
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: And sout out to care.
- 1:13:32Speaker 3: He had a discussion with a Razzie on that. On
- 1:13:36Speaker 3: the topic of the Netflix documentary, I was watching it
- 1:13:40Speaker 3: this morning to get ideas of shout out to both
- 1:13:44Speaker 3: of you, okay, cool and Daniel.
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: Who was also there.
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: I was on s c U K or what's the
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: channel called?
- 1:13:54Speaker 3: The objective is media Networkia.
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: It's like Twitter. I'm always gonna call.
- 1:13:58Speaker 1: It Twitter, all right, So thank you all the stickers.
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: Let's turn to a super chat. We always start with
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: the highest amount, and that is Shaw's bart so Cha
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: says payment one of two. Can you run and Nikos
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: do a team review of the movie Starman in nineteen
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: eighty four. Nicos has written that down already. If Nichos
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: doesn't want to, then you can do it on his own.
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: Nichos is a very comparative. He's already agreed with.
- 1:14:32Speaker 3: I mean, except if I'll try everything to find it.
- 1:14:36Speaker 3: I live in the Balkans. It's not the easiest thing
- 1:14:38Speaker 3: to find who's but I'll do my best to find it.
- 1:14:40Speaker 2: I'll try a card sounds good.
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: Molten Splendors is Happy Birday around one hundred dollars. Thank you,
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: Malton Splendor really really appreciate the support. You've been great
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: the last few weeks. Let's see, um, Mico, is it
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: possible we see the first less fake country in the
- 1:15:03Speaker 1: world in Asia? But if it won't have political freedom,
- 1:15:08Speaker 1: because like a Singapore that goes all the way in
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: an economic freedom direction but maintains some form of monarchy.
- 1:15:17Speaker 3: Well, we've seen it already, but I don't think this
- 1:15:20Speaker 3: is very sustainable. But you know these things better, you've
- 1:15:22Speaker 3: literally been there.
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I I it's possible that we'll see
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: the first Laszer fake country in the world in Asia.
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: It could be anyway. I don't know. It's going to
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: be a long time from now. I don't expect it
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: to happen anytime soon. So it's hard to project into
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: the distant future, and it's hard to tell where ideas
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: will have the most impact. But it's certainly possible that
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: it happens in Asia. There's certainly an entrepreneurship and even
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: a sense of life that some Asians have that is
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: very much compatible. Look at Hong Kong. Hong Kong was
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: close to that, certainly as less affair as any country
- 1:15:59Speaker 1: was in the twentieth century. I wasn't perfect, but it
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: was close. Will it be will it have no political freedom?
- 1:16:04Speaker 1: I don't think that's sustainable. You know, if people who
- 1:16:08Speaker 1: are free want to be free period. They want to
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: be free all the way through. There's not a realm
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: in their life where they say, Okay, I'll be a
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: slave there, but I'll be free everywhere else. I don't
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: think that's acceptable to people. So while it might start
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: off that way, it might be a while originally that way,
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: I don't think that it'll last. I think ultimately whatever
- 1:16:29Speaker 1: country becomes a fair will go become less a fair
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: all the way and include political freedom. Think about it
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: this way. The foundational idea of laza fair capitalism is
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: individual rights. You don't get it without individuals. It's certainly
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: not sustainable without individuals. Well, individual rights necessitate a particular
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: form of government, and that form government cannot be a monarchy.
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: That is a contradiction. Thank you, Michael. Another Michael another
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: fifty dollars. Michael says, also political I guess mm. Danny
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: is proposing a rezoning and deregulation in some of the
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: housing market will also increase access to housing vouchers. Is
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: there orientation to deregulate the economy while increasing warfare programs?
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: Trump seems to be doing this too.
- 1:17:24Speaker 3: Reality, at some point, you know you are if you
- 1:17:27Speaker 3: are a clever pragmatist, you might doing these things. But
- 1:17:31Speaker 3: while you're doing these things, you are amping the anti
- 1:17:34Speaker 3: capitalist rhetoric.
- 1:17:36Speaker 2: So you're using the.
- 1:17:38Speaker 3: Market tools to survive as a mayor and not to
- 1:17:41Speaker 3: go down to history as the worst major in history.
- 1:17:44Speaker 3: But I don't think people will get the right lessons
- 1:17:46Speaker 3: because people don't learn from economics only.
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: No. I mean you have to remember that there's a
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: recognition on the left, among certain people on the left,
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: including among the new socialists whatever they call it. They
- 1:18:00Speaker 1: call themselves now market socialists. I debated this guy in
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: Colorado recently who's a market socialist, and and they want
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: the means of production owned by the workers, but then
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: they want market competition between the different ownership groups. It's
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: it's a bizarre way. And of course, if you start
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: your own company and you pay salaries, you go to jail,
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: but as long as it's collectively owned, you're free. And
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: of course this is a massive contradiction and it's complete
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: disaster and it can't work. And they believe that you
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: can run companies like democracies and so on. Anyway, they's
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: it's a certain respect they have, maybe respect too strong
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: a foroard, a certain understanding that they have. There's a
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: big article in Jacobian recently that, look, central planning actually
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: doesn't work. We need the price mechanism. They've learned something
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: from economics, so so you know, we need some pieces
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: of the market to function somehow. And you know, so
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: for example, there's a big push on the left to
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: build more. This goes I think this is kind of
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: more hearkening back to the original Marxism, which was more
- 1:19:18Speaker 1: about building and progress and so on, and so a
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: lot of them have rediscovered marks and they're thinking we
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: need growth. We're too we've been too much of the
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: anti growth people. So this is the YMBS in my
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: backyard leftist kind of movement. And yeah, we kind of
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: need markets to do it, but we don't want the
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: greedy capitalists to really enjoy too much of this, So
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: we need to incentivize them to build. This is this
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: idea of rezoning and increased market access. But then we'll
- 1:19:49Speaker 1: impose rent control on them and we'll subsidize the rent
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: for the poor people, and that way we'll cap their profit,
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: the entrepreneurs profits. And they don't I get that. If
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: you have in control, you don't you don't have the
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: incentive to build. Yeah, I mean they don't. They don't.
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: They can't think it completely through. So they want to
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: have their cake and eat it too. They want the
- 1:20:12Speaker 1: market somehow to function to give them the golden eggs, right,
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: they want the goosta lay the golden eggs, but doesn't
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: want to take the eggs, and they think the goose
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: will never learn. So it's it's this weird dance that
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: they're dancing where they're socializing pieces and they're freeing up
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: other pieces and it's all going to be a disaster.
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, they'll blame the
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: pots that they freed up, you know, they they'll they'll
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: blame the capitalists for it.
- 1:20:41Speaker 3: And the very funny thing is all these people, who
- 1:20:43Speaker 3: of course don't know history, they think they're the first
- 1:20:46Speaker 3: one who thought of this. Yep, as if This was
- 1:20:50Speaker 3: not the model. The whole model of socialist Yugoslavia. I
- 1:20:53Speaker 3: was exactly this, that the production units would have some
- 1:20:57Speaker 3: independence similar and you'll have some type of mind market.
- 1:21:00Speaker 2: How did this work out?
- 1:21:01Speaker 3: They tired it also, Hungary after ninety fifty six decad
- 1:21:06Speaker 3: after they had Hungry was of the more quote unquote
- 1:21:10Speaker 3: liberal socialist counters of the words of fact.
- 1:21:13Speaker 2: It didn't work. And you know what's my favorite.
- 1:21:15Speaker 3: It left his conspiracy theory that al ending Chile had
- 1:21:18Speaker 3: come up with a super computer that would have solved
- 1:21:22Speaker 3: the calculation problem. But then the CIA, in the Chicago
- 1:21:26Speaker 3: Boys and maybe Friedman himself with the Bazuka, took him
- 1:21:29Speaker 3: down because he would be the first who would have
- 1:21:31Speaker 3: solved the calculation problem.
- 1:21:33Speaker 2: That's why they took him down.
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: I didn't realize that. I didn't know that they and
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: they had solved it. Well, that's pretty amazing, this before AI,
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: because now the big thing among socialists right now is
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: the calculation problem is solved to AI and we can
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: have Marxist utopia, I mean Marxist n stage without the
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: revolution in a sense, because all we need is to
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: un leach AI. We all get UBI, we all get
- 1:21:59Speaker 1: you know a universal is a income. Then the robots
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: will produce everything. They'll create anything, and then you can
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: do whatever whatever you want. You'll get a check, and
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: we'll get the same check because none of us will
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: produce different amounts because the robots will be producing, you
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: won't be producing. So why should the entrepreneur get a
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: return Because he'dn't produce anything. Robots produced it. So and
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: the robots don't need the money. This is the beauty
- 1:22:22Speaker 1: of it. The orbits don't need the money like the
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: workers needed the money. The orbits don't need the money.
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: So we'll all get the money. So we all going
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: to be rich and the equal and be able to
- 1:22:32Speaker 1: do whatever the hell we want, and all material needs
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: will be taking care of by robots.
- 1:22:37Speaker 3: Just the public announcement to libertarians who base their whole
- 1:22:43Speaker 3: criticism of socialism to the calculation problem. If by any
- 1:22:48Speaker 3: chance the left is were right on that you deserve
- 1:22:50Speaker 3: to have socialists, because if your only problem with social
- 1:22:53Speaker 3: relaiser problem, it's like they don't talk about anything else.
- 1:22:56Speaker 3: High X and all this problem, the calculation problem, as
- 1:22:59Speaker 3: if this is the only problem with social and not
- 1:23:01Speaker 3: that the premise is that my life is now, I
- 1:23:04Speaker 3: live as.
- 1:23:04Speaker 2: A slave basically, and I don't live for my own life.
- 1:23:07Speaker 3: So if the left this manages to solve the calculative problem,
- 1:23:11Speaker 3: you libertarians and classical liberals, you deserve the world that
- 1:23:15Speaker 3: we're gonna live in.
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, all right, Okay, Michael, Michael, this is great.
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: When I first read RAND, I was blown away. And
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: I'm no entrepreneur. I don't understand how brilliant producers like
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: Visas and Musk can read Rand and not be captured
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: by her insights. It requires And here's the thing about
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: somebody as successful as they are, they're very successful. They
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: didn't need Rent, so they can easily dismiss as saying,
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: you know, I did all this without her, Why why
- 1:24:02Speaker 1: do I need this philosophy? I'm pretty happy. You know,
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: I've I've got all the wealth in the world. I've
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: have changed the world. I've I've made an impact. I've
- 1:24:10Speaker 1: I've done all this. Yeah, there's certain political things, maybe
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: you know that don't make sense, but it's not clear
- 1:24:18Speaker 1: that invents. You know, if I communicated invenge ideas that
- 1:24:21Speaker 1: would that would make a difference. So there's a certain
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: sense in which if you're super successful, you look at
- 1:24:29Speaker 1: Ivan and say, yeah, she inspired me, Yeah, she gives
- 1:24:32Speaker 1: me energy and all this, but I don't need philosophy.
- 1:24:35Speaker 1: I'm doing fine without it.
- 1:24:41Speaker 3: It's a friend from the objective world said something like,
- 1:24:46Speaker 3: maybe the people who need iron round more is indeed
- 1:24:49Speaker 3: not the Jeff Bezos, but that the people who now
- 1:24:51Speaker 3: congregate thinking that they're going to find a solution in
- 1:24:55Speaker 3: the mamosphere and all that stuff, maybe they need the
- 1:24:58Speaker 3: message even more that you said, someone who's like, yeah, okay,
- 1:25:01Speaker 3: look we're not in Party of Atlas rug so yeah,
- 1:25:04Speaker 3: you know, it's a good writer. Or when there's a
- 1:25:06Speaker 3: regulation that remember to post a quote, but beyond that, it's.
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: Gonna be oh, yes, it took it too far.
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: Yep.
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: And also, people don't get ideas seriously.
- 1:25:16Speaker 3: It's not that they dismiss round, but you know, they
- 1:25:19Speaker 3: go full on needs or full on foo core or something.
- 1:25:22Speaker 3: It's it's it's a general issue with like, do ideas
- 1:25:26Speaker 3: really have consequences in life?
- 1:25:28Speaker 1: Man, Michael, Is there a difference between being miserable and
- 1:25:34Speaker 1: being depressed? Depression seems like when someone stops functioning, whereas
- 1:25:39Speaker 1: thugs like Trump and Putin seem miserable but still functional.
- 1:25:46Speaker 2: That would require and all.
- 1:25:47Speaker 3: Lets I remember the first I used to be a
- 1:25:51Speaker 3: voluntarist who thought that, oh, there's no such thing as
- 1:25:54Speaker 3: depression because human beings have free will. And I remember
- 1:25:57Speaker 3: the moment that I changed. I literally remember where I was.
- 1:26:00Speaker 3: I was in the States something University of York, and
- 1:26:02Speaker 3: I was listening Yeah road Brook debating Xina Gordon, and
- 1:26:07Speaker 3: Zina said something like, no, guys.
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: There is such a thing as.
- 1:26:11Speaker 3: Depression and you cannot control everything. I was like, ah,
- 1:26:16Speaker 3: what does this mean for free will? I remember this
- 1:26:18Speaker 3: point when I was a new bide. So, yeah, I
- 1:26:22Speaker 3: don't have something to because this would require to know
- 1:26:25Speaker 3: exactly what depression is and how it works.
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: So I leave this to you.
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean my guess is that there's a difference
- 1:26:31Speaker 1: between depression and miserable, and depression is, you know, it's
- 1:26:35Speaker 1: harder to function, and you can be miserable and still functions.
- 1:26:38Speaker 1: So I think that's right, and I think I don't know,
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: but I don't know if these people are depressed as well.
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: I mean, they could be parts of the day where
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: they're depressed and they're not functioning. It's really hard to
- 1:26:51Speaker 1: tell what a mental state of particularly bad people really
- 1:26:57Speaker 1: is and how it manifests itself. You have to ask
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: we'd have to ask a psychologist, a right molten splendor
- 1:27:05Speaker 1: explain how these gender dominated, dominated attitudes can blind one
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: from seeing the attributes of an individual to only seeing
- 1:27:16Speaker 1: one's gender. So this is the idea of tribalism. A
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: man versus women seems an odd way to beginning assessment
- 1:27:24Speaker 1: of any individual relationship.
- 1:27:28Speaker 3: I have a real example, which it's gonna sound so
- 1:27:31Speaker 3: fake as it is not real, but I had a
- 1:27:35Speaker 3: discussion with an academic and she told me, yeah, you know,
- 1:27:41Speaker 3: I can't refute it. It makes sense, but you are
- 1:27:45Speaker 3: a man wearing a suit saying this. So at that
- 1:27:49Speaker 3: point the discussion cannot go anywhere. It's as if we're
- 1:27:51Speaker 3: speaking different languets. So gender tribalist means you live in
- 1:27:55Speaker 3: a power in a tower of babe.
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: You cannot there is no way to reach that passion.
- 1:28:01Speaker 3: It's the humanizing, by the way, it's the humanizing. It's
- 1:28:04Speaker 3: as if I'm not speaking to it, I cannot address
- 1:28:06Speaker 3: a mind, so there's nothing it's just it's it's the humanizing.
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think I think the woke feminism is
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: very much that way. And and I think that these
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: this this kind of manisphere, right, uh, male thing is
- 1:28:27Speaker 1: the same way they you know, you you you you
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: can't talk to a woman, you know, she needs to
- 1:28:33Speaker 1: be in the kitchen to make you and dinner. There's
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: something you talk about and uh and and there's no
- 1:28:39Speaker 1: you know, the minds are completely different. And and this
- 1:28:42Speaker 1: is sadly a lot of the time the right just
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: responds to the left. And I think this this primary
- 1:28:49Speaker 1: came out of kind of the feminist movement. Uh and
- 1:28:52Speaker 1: then the right. You know, some guys said, okay, it's
- 1:28:55Speaker 1: just like the racism stuff. The left comes up with
- 1:28:59Speaker 1: identity politics in the way it goes, yeah, okay, we
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: can do that. You know, we're better to take you
- 1:29:04Speaker 1: by the way. You know, we've got more practice than
- 1:29:06Speaker 1: you have. And they embrace it as well. But it's
- 1:29:11Speaker 1: all tribalism. It's a negation of the individual human mind.
- 1:29:15Speaker 1: That is the essential thing that they.
- 1:29:16Speaker 3: Negate but just sort of to say like we shouldn't
- 1:29:22Speaker 3: so the biggest strandgy because I remember this very well.
- 1:29:25Speaker 3: She was al was a very good person. See she
- 1:29:28Speaker 3: opened her house for me with her father. I was
- 1:29:30Speaker 3: eitting with her family quite often, and yet it's it's
- 1:29:33Speaker 3: what we said, tribalism first, and for most hurts.
- 1:29:37Speaker 2: You the tribalist, not there.
- 1:29:40Speaker 3: You're the biggest victim of of this brain.
- 1:29:46Speaker 2: Malfunction. Yep, voluntary brain malfunction.
- 1:29:53Speaker 1: Michael asks. He says, in Ohio, if you get a
- 1:29:57Speaker 1: d UI, you have to have a yellow license plate
- 1:30:02Speaker 1: so police and other drivers know you've been caught driving
- 1:30:05Speaker 1: under the influence in the past. Is that a Is
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: that this a whites violation? You have?
- 1:30:14Speaker 3: No People ask me what's your least libertariy quote libertarian opinion.
- 1:30:18Speaker 3: I don't think it's least libertarian. But in the war
- 1:30:22Speaker 3: in the road, I want the mat environment, we like
- 1:30:26Speaker 3: snipers and stuff. It's it's it's in the Balkans. It's
- 1:30:29Speaker 3: so bad, it's literally dangerous now these days to even walk.
- 1:30:33Speaker 3: So anything cameras speed limit sat me up for that.
- 1:30:38Speaker 3: It should be private and when you drive a car
- 1:30:42Speaker 3: you have as much power as when you carry a gun,
- 1:30:45Speaker 3: and you should when I cannot carry a gun and
- 1:30:48Speaker 3: start shooting like that unless I'm in a wedding in crete,
- 1:30:51Speaker 3: but that's a different story.
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: So it should it should. The same should apply with
- 1:30:56Speaker 2: the car the car is dangerous.
- 1:30:58Speaker 3: So I'm a yeah, I mean authoritarian when it comes to.
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: I mean, I certainly don't see it. There's a rights violation,
- 1:31:06Speaker 1: right you committed. You violate somebody's rights by driving DUI
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: is a rights violation because you are placing other people's
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: lives at risk, objective risk, not arbitrary, but objective risk.
- 1:31:20Speaker 1: Now we could argue about how much the level of
- 1:31:23Speaker 1: alcohol is in your blood or whatever. Were you driving
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: in a risk riskless man or whatever, But the point
- 1:31:30Speaker 1: is you were drunk and you shouldn't be driving if
- 1:31:32Speaker 1: you're drunk. So part of the penalty could be Yeah,
- 1:31:36Speaker 1: a you know something on your license plate? Is that
- 1:31:42Speaker 1: worse than sending you to jail? No? So I mean
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: it's clearly not a rights violation. You were the ones
- 1:31:51Speaker 1: who broke, who violated other people's rights.
- 1:31:55Speaker 3: And let me say to the people, they might have
- 1:31:57Speaker 3: heard the rumors that own Brook is an aggressive I
- 1:32:01Speaker 3: entered your car when we're doing tours in Europe with
- 1:32:04Speaker 3: under that premise. But I have to say it was
- 1:32:06Speaker 3: a positive surprise. It was it was much better than
- 1:32:11Speaker 3: I expected.
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: That's good. Not everybody has come away from my driving
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: with that. I think I've mellowed. I have to admit.
- 1:32:19Speaker 1: One of the areas in which age has had an
- 1:32:22Speaker 1: impact on me is I think my driving. I definitely
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: think I'm less and also living in Puerto Rico, and
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: so I'm the most aggressive when I'm in Tel Aviv.
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: I'm a little less aggressive in Haifa. I'm a little
- 1:32:41Speaker 1: less aggressive in California, but still and more aggressive in
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: La than in Orange County. So I adapt to the traffic.
- 1:32:49Speaker 1: When when we went in Italy and we were driving
- 1:32:51Speaker 1: in Italy, I just fit right in with the Italian drivers.
- 1:32:55Speaker 1: And and now I'm in Puerto Rico and you can't
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: drive aggressively. That part holes in the road, and people
- 1:33:02Speaker 1: drive weirdly here in you know, I get the aggressiveness
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: of Israeli drivers. I don't get what they're doing here
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: in Puerto Rico. I think it's just incompetence. They drive
- 1:33:11Speaker 1: in the middle of the road. They it's just weird.
- 1:33:14Speaker 1: So I'm significantly mellower now than I used to be.
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: Instance of my driving, I mean I think that the
- 1:33:21Speaker 1: person who really I once picked up Amy peakoff at
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: the airport. This is years and years and years ago,
- 1:33:27Speaker 1: thirty years ago something I don't know it was, and
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: it was in San Jose and drove it to a
- 1:33:32Speaker 1: house and she was literally white and it was like,
- 1:33:36Speaker 1: you drive like a New York taxi driver said I do.
- 1:33:39Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I had no idea. So she
- 1:33:43Speaker 1: was traumatized and maybe still is. But I've mellowed. I've mellowed.
- 1:33:48Speaker 1: But yes, we drove. We drove in northern Europe. That's right,
- 1:33:53Speaker 1: I think I in spite of that, I think I
- 1:33:55Speaker 1: still got speeding tickets from that trip. You know, they
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: say you in.
- 1:34:00Speaker 2: The mail, except if they came into retrospect.
- 1:34:03Speaker 1: Yeah, retrospect after the fact, they send you in the mail. Oh,
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: they send it to hoods because the cameras catch you.
- 1:34:12Speaker 3: And the other thing people need to know about the
- 1:34:14Speaker 3: iron and driving. You have this thing where you want
- 1:34:17Speaker 3: to beat the expectation of Google Maps. So if Google
- 1:34:20Speaker 3: Map says you're going to arriving seventeen means you want
- 1:34:22Speaker 3: to arrive in sixteen.
- 1:34:24Speaker 1: That's true. I didn't know you picked that up, but
- 1:34:25Speaker 1: that is absolutely right. I'm generally very competitive when it
- 1:34:29Speaker 1: comes to when it comes to map map software. I
- 1:34:34Speaker 1: try to beat the time, all right, Adam says, traditionally
- 1:34:40Speaker 1: globalist ment Jews, but now we see growth in anti globalist,
- 1:34:46Speaker 1: explicitly tribal sentiments among religious Zionists that has been revealed
- 1:34:53Speaker 1: Pograms and Arabs, et cetera. How do they how do
- 1:34:59Speaker 1: they whatever? The contradiction? The religious Jews? Why do they
- 1:35:04Speaker 1: have to? Why do contradictions bother them? Why? Why would
- 1:35:07Speaker 1: contradictions bother them? Bank View is a fanatic religion, not case.
- 1:35:11Speaker 1: So he's a mystic through and through, so I don't
- 1:35:16Speaker 1: think he's bothered by contradictions, as as most religionists are
- 1:35:19Speaker 1: not bothered by contradictions. But I don't know if they
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: anti globalist. You know, I'm not sure where they anti
- 1:35:26Speaker 1: globalists among religious Zionists. I mean, bank View, you could
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: argue is just irrational, so this would be one more irrationality.
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: I'm not sure who else you mean, but it would.
- 1:35:40Speaker 3: Who looks for the history of these terms in the
- 1:35:43Speaker 3: communist countries, they didn't call it back then, The Stalinists
- 1:35:46Speaker 3: did not call it globalist.
- 1:35:48Speaker 1: They call it politans and and and for a long
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: time it was cosmopolitans with the Jews. And but yes,
- 1:35:57Speaker 1: now as well has a homeland. They need to be
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: cosmopolitan anymore. And there's certain tribalists and religionists who are
- 1:36:06Speaker 1: going to embrace these nationalistic tribal terms. All right, Nature
- 1:36:12Speaker 1: observer says, I grew up in a religious household when
- 1:36:15Speaker 1: my father considered himself the head. How different is the
- 1:36:19Speaker 1: manisphere from the religious rout of male dominance which is
- 1:36:24Speaker 1: justified by God? Now the wood is evolutionary psychology.
- 1:36:31Speaker 3: It started with evolutionary psychology, but soon it fused together.
- 1:36:35Speaker 3: Also with that said, so rollo to MASSI the rational male.
- 1:36:39Speaker 3: For years he had the podcast with a pastor actually
- 1:36:43Speaker 3: I think, or something like a very religious guy. He
- 1:36:46Speaker 3: died some many years ago. So yes, there is a
- 1:36:50Speaker 3: natural affinity affinity there. And also, if you think about it,
- 1:36:55Speaker 3: this is a growing market, a national for Christian because
- 1:37:01Speaker 3: there is it's it's a fertile ground. It's hey, guys,
- 1:37:05Speaker 3: you you you want to fight feminism, Here is a
- 1:37:07Speaker 3: message that will help you do it. Here is the
- 1:37:09Speaker 3: proper order. We've been saying these things for centuries. Glad
- 1:37:13Speaker 3: you came on board.
- 1:37:15Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, look at Matt Walsh, uh the Daily Wire,
- 1:37:19Speaker 1: who I think exhibits a lot of this uh kind
- 1:37:22Speaker 1: of Mentality's not he's not as bad on the manosphere stuff,
- 1:37:25Speaker 1: but he wants it. He has a trad wife and
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: he and he salibrates his trad wife, and he complains
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: about masculinity constantly. And uh so I think he's a
- 1:37:34Speaker 1: good he's a good model of that fusion with religion.
- 1:37:37Speaker 1: It makes a lot of sense. Uh Richard said, happy,
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: but Dyvon, thank you Richard, appreciate the support. Richard also says,
- 1:37:45Speaker 1: what role does academia play in the anti intellectual mindset
- 1:37:50Speaker 1: like we see in the manosphere.
- 1:37:55Speaker 3: The obvious answer is that boys who go through the academia,
- 1:37:59Speaker 3: if they have some sense of independence and questions is tough.
- 1:38:03Speaker 2: Quickly they get disgusted.
- 1:38:05Speaker 3: So then either their independence will take them to actually
- 1:38:10Speaker 3: question the root of the problem tribalism and all the stuff,
- 1:38:14Speaker 3: or if it cannot take them that far, it will
- 1:38:16Speaker 3: take them to the opposite tribe, will see which is
- 1:38:20Speaker 3: the manager.
- 1:38:20Speaker 2: But there's no question that all these stuff.
- 1:38:25Speaker 3: The more the intellectual culprits are with the intellectuals that
- 1:38:30Speaker 3: made tribalists and irrationalism the only game in town. So
- 1:38:34Speaker 3: well done, to the to the left, you have created
- 1:38:37Speaker 3: this world. You deserve you deserve this world. The problem
- 1:38:41Speaker 3: is that we were also going to live.
- 1:38:44Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think that's right. I think the main,
- 1:38:47Speaker 1: the main role of academia is destruction of the mind
- 1:38:51Speaker 1: and of course setting up some of these categories that
- 1:38:54Speaker 1: then the unthinking call them right. But I don't know
- 1:38:59Speaker 1: if it even me means that, you know, just to
- 1:39:01Speaker 1: rebel against. It's a I think the left to set
- 1:39:03Speaker 1: up modern racism. I think the left, through whatever third
- 1:39:07Speaker 1: way feminism, whatever you want to define it as, has
- 1:39:09Speaker 1: set up this this uh you know, uh, male hatred
- 1:39:13Speaker 1: of women. It's it's it's a it's a you know,
- 1:39:16Speaker 1: they they set the intellectual terms because they are the
- 1:39:18Speaker 1: intellectuals there and and so they ultimately get to blame
- 1:39:23Speaker 1: for this. It's it's the you know, it's the postmodernists.
- 1:39:27Speaker 1: It's a you know, we'll talk about postmodernism on one
- 1:39:30Speaker 1: of these shows, and uh, you know, the Frankfort School
- 1:39:33Speaker 1: and all of those guys. They they they undermine the
- 1:39:37Speaker 1: human mind. By undermining the individual human mind, they set
- 1:39:39Speaker 1: us off for tribalism, tribalism of all kinds, all sorts.
- 1:39:44Speaker 3: By the way, in two weeks we should do the
- 1:39:47Speaker 3: Six Day War. Obvious because it's the anniversary. It's open
- 1:39:49Speaker 3: what we will do next week. If people want to
- 1:39:52Speaker 3: give some suggestions, there's they can't do.
- 1:39:54Speaker 1: So, so I might be I may be traveling in
- 1:39:59Speaker 1: two weeks, so I'll get back to you.
- 1:40:01Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:40:02Speaker 1: If not Six Day War this time this year, then
- 1:40:04Speaker 1: six Day one next year. That date will always be around,
- 1:40:08Speaker 1: but I may be out that week, all right.
- 1:40:12Speaker 2: Not to put pressure on you.
- 1:40:13Speaker 3: I've already started reading two books on thee They were so.
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: So we maybe could do it the week before or something. Okay,
- 1:40:20Speaker 1: we'll figure it. We'll see, Okay. Six Day War is
- 1:40:25Speaker 1: the first war I have a memory of, so.
- 1:40:29Speaker 2: I know I remember the story.
- 1:40:32Speaker 1: So Action Jackson says, Happy birdy Iran, thank you. Oops,
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: how did I get there? I skipped some people, okay.
- 1:40:40Speaker 1: Oivin says happy birthday, thank you, Oyvin. Gail says happy birthday,
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: thank you, Gail. Action Jackson says, this is for Yourn's
- 1:40:47Speaker 1: response to the bone smashing. I don't know what bone
- 1:40:51Speaker 1: smashing is. What is bone smashing?
- 1:40:53Speaker 2: Is that a Maybe it has to do with Luke Smaxing.
- 1:40:58Speaker 2: I saw the latest about lukex Maxing. You've done stuff
- 1:41:01Speaker 2: about Luke Maxing.
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: You know I have.
- 1:41:04Speaker 3: Haven't you criticized the curricular this guy who is the
- 1:41:09Speaker 3: luks Maxer.
- 1:41:11Speaker 2: Anyway, it's this thing where you try to like to
- 1:41:13Speaker 2: to have this seizzled the.
- 1:41:15Speaker 3: Like diggat sad face and some people literally the rumor
- 1:41:19Speaker 3: is I think it's a room band that they smashed
- 1:41:22Speaker 3: their bones or they they have an angular face.
- 1:41:25Speaker 1: No, I haven't. I haven't I look into it. I
- 1:41:27Speaker 1: have not talked about that on my show, and.
- 1:41:29Speaker 2: Really you haven't checked out clavicular.
- 1:41:32Speaker 1: I'm way behind the times, way okay the times. Yeah,
- 1:41:39Speaker 1: I believe people would smash their bones. I really do
- 1:41:43Speaker 1: insane right and them says Joe Rogan said he was
- 1:41:48Speaker 1: his Joe Rogan said he saw Ran fans as insults.
- 1:41:54Speaker 1: Is that because of the Going Gold types or did
- 1:41:58Speaker 1: he mean objectivists?
- 1:42:01Speaker 2: I've never heard that.
- 1:42:02Speaker 3: I've heard him saying that objectives are boring, and that's
- 1:42:04Speaker 3: the only thing I've heard him say about iron Rant.
- 1:42:09Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know why he said. If
- 1:42:12Speaker 1: he said that about objectives being in souls, I have
- 1:42:15Speaker 1: no idea it. It sounds ignorant, but who knows why
- 1:42:23Speaker 1: Joe Rogan says anything He says.
- 1:42:26Speaker 3: And to be on look, we've been to all sorts
- 1:42:29Speaker 3: of conferences. I don't think even the nerdy objectives has
- 1:42:34Speaker 3: anything to do with the whole or the whole mindset
- 1:42:40Speaker 3: of the insult. Because the good thing with objectivist is,
- 1:42:43Speaker 3: even if you're a rationalist, whatever it's, it's it vaccinates
- 1:42:47Speaker 3: you again, this lack of ambition. So it would be
- 1:42:51Speaker 3: very weird for an objectivist to be an insant. It
- 1:42:53Speaker 3: would be a huge tradiction.
- 1:42:55Speaker 1: Absolutely, I've no objective.
- 1:42:59Speaker 3: I've not thought exectivists who were actually the guy who
- 1:43:02Speaker 3: introduced me to the rational mail was back then, and
- 1:43:07Speaker 3: he was part.
- 1:43:08Speaker 2: Of the movement.
- 1:43:09Speaker 3: Later he became more and more a white nationalist, but
- 1:43:12Speaker 3: the inter actually raised realist.
- 1:43:15Speaker 2: Maybe it's the same, but his intermediate step was a
- 1:43:19Speaker 2: mieked out.
- 1:43:20Speaker 1: I remember, I remember him, Yes, yeah, And you could
- 1:43:25Speaker 1: tell as he was drifting towards the man going on
- 1:43:29Speaker 1: way that he was also adapting some of this white
- 1:43:34Speaker 1: nationalist type attitude. Oh, let's say, Jonathan Honing, happy body,
- 1:43:42Speaker 1: run and hello nikos hey, Jonathan Jonahan run. If yearly
- 1:43:49Speaker 1: interest payment rise to two point two to three point
- 1:43:52Speaker 1: two trillion, how are the US not go bankrupt the
- 1:43:55Speaker 1: hyper and flight. It takes eight to twelve percent on
- 1:43:59Speaker 1: the year for three it takes eight to ten percent
- 1:44:03Speaker 1: on the tenure for three years, and the entire world
- 1:44:06Speaker 1: governments are in similar situation. Well, I mean, we're pretty
- 1:44:10Speaker 1: far away from eight to twelve percent on the ten
- 1:44:12Speaker 1: uere it would have, you know, a little more than
- 1:44:17Speaker 1: half of that. I guess we're four point five, four
- 1:44:19Speaker 1: point six percent. It looks like Trump is going to
- 1:44:21Speaker 1: sign a deal with Iranians, so and it looks like
- 1:44:25Speaker 1: it's happening today. So I expect interstates to come down.
- 1:44:29Speaker 1: The world will pretend that this is a good thing.
- 1:44:32Speaker 1: All prices will come down, and uh and so it
- 1:44:38Speaker 1: you know, the interstates will come down. But look at
- 1:44:44Speaker 1: it really depends on what is going on. If if
- 1:44:48Speaker 1: we've got high interestates, because you've got inflation, remember inflation
- 1:44:53Speaker 1: also inflates. Inflation also inflates tax revenue. Tax revenue goes
- 1:44:59Speaker 1: up as well. So it's from the government's perspective, it's
- 1:45:03Speaker 1: not clear how you go bankrupt inflation. You can inflate
- 1:45:08Speaker 1: slowly and there's only inflation if people insist on you know,
- 1:45:17Speaker 1: you'll only get to eight to twelve percent if people
- 1:45:19Speaker 1: insist on buying bonds at those rates, and we haven't
- 1:45:22Speaker 1: seen that since the late nineteen seventies. We haven't seen
- 1:45:25Speaker 1: market insisting on that. So you know, I heard, I've
- 1:45:29Speaker 1: heard these arguments for twenty thirty years, and somehow the
- 1:45:33Speaker 1: world economy putters along, and so does the US. I'm
- 1:45:37Speaker 1: not saying that can continue forever. It obviously can't. But
- 1:45:40Speaker 1: I don't know when is the point of the hyperinflation
- 1:45:43Speaker 1: or when is the point of the bankruptcy. It happens sometime.
- 1:45:47Speaker 1: I just have no idea when. And I'm always surprised
- 1:45:50Speaker 1: at how long these things take and how long it
- 1:45:54Speaker 1: can be dragged out. At some point, yeah, there's no question,
- 1:45:58Speaker 1: but they can drag it for a long time. Roland
- 1:46:04Speaker 1: another very informative episode. I think I'm getting hooked to
- 1:46:07Speaker 1: this Happy birthday you on Thank you Roland Hiroland and says,
- 1:46:12Speaker 1: I love you guys together, thank you and.
- 1:46:16Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 1:46:16Speaker 1: Okay, Cop says, is it trutored? Women are hyper gamers.
- 1:46:22Speaker 3: So the thing with hyperagram is so rollo. Thomas is
- 1:46:27Speaker 3: very good at doing. By the way, Rolod Thomas is
- 1:46:29Speaker 3: a character from La Confidential.
- 1:46:31Speaker 2: It's his nickname. I don't know what's the absolut name
- 1:46:32Speaker 2: of the guy. He's very good at finding things that
- 1:46:37Speaker 2: are obvious truths or truisms.
- 1:46:39Speaker 3: And putting a fancy label in it. That doesn't make
- 1:46:43Speaker 3: sense that if you're a woman, you would prefer someone who.
- 1:46:47Speaker 2: Is of higher qualities. And this quality depends on what
- 1:46:52Speaker 2: kind of woman you are.
- 1:46:53Speaker 3: When if you are salient, it could be just you know,
- 1:46:55Speaker 3: looks or money, or it could be the value of character.
- 1:46:59Speaker 2: It makes sense that you want to go.
- 1:47:02Speaker 3: From someone who in your standards of lower quality to
- 1:47:05Speaker 3: someone who in your standards of a higher quality. Now,
- 1:47:09Speaker 3: maybe hypergamy means that the standards that women have or
- 1:47:12Speaker 3: what is a high quality is different from the standards
- 1:47:15Speaker 3: of what men have.
- 1:47:17Speaker 2: But anyway, props to him.
- 1:47:18Speaker 3: He has the talent in finding these terms and they're
- 1:47:21Speaker 3: very cutsy. Then he has also this little poem hypergram.
- 1:47:25Speaker 3: It doesn't care. It's not easy to introduce a term
- 1:47:27Speaker 3: in the language, so it's a it's an achievement.
- 1:47:31Speaker 1: But again it's the whole thing is deterministic, right, So
- 1:47:36Speaker 1: I'm sure there are women out there. They have a
- 1:47:38Speaker 1: certain psychology that attracts them to lesser men, just like
- 1:47:42Speaker 1: there are lots of men who attracted a lesser women,
- 1:47:46Speaker 1: you know, because they have a problem of self esteem
- 1:47:49Speaker 1: or they have something else. So it really is an
- 1:47:52Speaker 1: issue of you know who you want, what you want,
- 1:47:56Speaker 1: what kind of human being you are, and you know
- 1:48:00Speaker 1: the kind of person we fall in love with. It's
- 1:48:04Speaker 1: a complicated equation. You know, what does a higher status
- 1:48:09Speaker 1: may all mean? Does it mean they make more money?
- 1:48:12Speaker 1: Does it mean they're strong, doesn't mean they're more beautiful?
- 1:48:14Speaker 1: Does it mean they're smart? Does it mean they have
- 1:48:17Speaker 1: great character? I mean? And on what dimension? And how
- 1:48:21Speaker 1: do we weigh when we fall in love with somebody?
- 1:48:23Speaker 1: How do we make weigh these different things? Yeah, we
- 1:48:25Speaker 1: want somebody we can in some regard admya. But that's
- 1:48:30Speaker 1: true men and women. It's not different. Now, maybe the
- 1:48:34Speaker 1: equation for the man is different than the equation women have.
- 1:48:38Speaker 1: I doubt that, you know, there's a huge amount of
- 1:48:42Speaker 1: differences in it between this. I'm not sure you need
- 1:48:44Speaker 1: a separate concept for men and a separate concept for women.
- 1:48:47Speaker 1: We want to fall in love with somebody we can
- 1:48:50Speaker 1: admire respect values with da da da da da. You know,
- 1:48:53Speaker 1: make a list. It's it's not any and status is
- 1:48:57Speaker 1: such a secondhanded concept. Status in whose mind, status on
- 1:49:02Speaker 1: what dimensions, status based on what. So I'm very very
- 1:49:07Speaker 1: skeptical of these kind of these kind of ideas because
- 1:49:10Speaker 1: they're very.
- 1:49:10Speaker 3: Defendi Yeah, and it becomes a true is because I
- 1:49:15Speaker 3: think about Wood the island has had a lot of
- 1:49:18Speaker 3: romantic success. What type of status that Okay, he's funny,
- 1:49:24Speaker 3: he's famous.
- 1:49:25Speaker 2: I think it would have.
- 1:49:26Speaker 1: This it's funny famous, which but it's short, okay and
- 1:49:30Speaker 1: not very pretty, right, and he has no muscles?
- 1:49:33Speaker 3: Yeah, but which particular part of the theory of hypergamy.
- 1:49:37Speaker 2: The reads that.
- 1:49:38Speaker 3: It's but then it claims that it's more complicated than
- 1:49:41Speaker 3: just the because by the way, I don't believe even
- 1:49:44Speaker 3: at that level women go for money. I don't see
- 1:49:47Speaker 3: many women lining up and you know, have romantic interest,
- 1:49:51Speaker 3: let's say for Marcus UK back, but they have with
- 1:49:53Speaker 3: the island.
- 1:49:53Speaker 2: So it's so complicated.
- 1:49:54Speaker 3: As you said that, it's very difficult to to it's unfalsifiable.
- 1:49:59Speaker 2: It's bit like Marxist.
- 1:50:01Speaker 3: It kind of you think it makes sense on one level,
- 1:50:03Speaker 3: but it's also fallacifiable.
- 1:50:05Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, if you, if you, if you, if you ill,
- 1:50:07Speaker 1: if you don't really define your terms. It could be anything,
- 1:50:11Speaker 1: and they don't define their terms clearly. Right, It's not
- 1:50:14Speaker 1: clearly defined, so I wouldn't use that term. I would
- 1:50:17Speaker 1: never use that term. I think it's more confusing than helpful. Right, Kay,
- 1:50:23Speaker 1: dampnesses everybirday one thank you. Frank says one's own view
- 1:50:29Speaker 1: of leadership is the essence of being a man. Leadership
- 1:50:32Speaker 1: challenges the infinite potential of mind and allows all men
- 1:50:36Speaker 1: to find their autonomy. Women want highly conscious men. Surely
- 1:50:43Speaker 1: can a woman be a leader? Women have been leaders?
- 1:50:48Speaker 2: I have here two volumes of the biography of Maggiita.
- 1:50:52Speaker 3: I have here a whole self of a woman who
- 1:50:56Speaker 3: started the intellectual movement that God is here. So there,
- 1:51:01Speaker 3: by the way, speaking of Maggie Thatcher, we should do,
- 1:51:03Speaker 3: at some point in an episode, go find the letter
- 1:51:06Speaker 3: the telegraph that Maggie Thatcher sends to the Argentinian dictator before.
- 1:51:11Speaker 2: The attacking folkrants, okay, public.
- 1:51:14Speaker 3: And finding people, And tell me how many men you
- 1:51:17Speaker 3: know that would read that would write such a let's
- 1:51:20Speaker 3: put it masculine letter, because again it's about decisiveness but
- 1:51:26Speaker 3: also clarity. Say hey, you're going to cause the mothers
- 1:51:31Speaker 3: of soldiers to tell their kids are dead. I'm going
- 1:51:34Speaker 3: to call the mother of soldiers to tell the kids
- 1:51:36Speaker 3: are dead. The difference is you're gonna call way more so,
- 1:51:40Speaker 3: don't do it.
- 1:51:41Speaker 2: It was it was.
- 1:51:42Speaker 3: I mean, I'm butchering that. It was absolutely absolutely brilliant.
- 1:51:48Speaker 1: Yes, no, And so I think leadership is not a
- 1:51:51Speaker 1: You might say leadership is masculine, and when a woman
- 1:51:54Speaker 1: exhibit leadership, then she's you know, accessing the masculine, which
- 1:51:59Speaker 1: is fine. But I wouldn't say leadership is male. Leadership
- 1:52:03Speaker 1: is a man. Being a man, is being a leader.
- 1:52:07Speaker 1: I don't think that's necessarily true.
- 1:52:11Speaker 3: And compared it, by the way, with the leadership of
- 1:52:16Speaker 3: troops on Twitter, and I'm going to end your civilization
- 1:52:20Speaker 3: and compare the two types of leadership.
- 1:52:22Speaker 1: Which is more mark, I'm going to civilization. And now
- 1:52:25Speaker 1: he's tweeting that he has now reached the deal with
- 1:52:28Speaker 1: the Iranians. So that's how he ended Civilization's ended out
- 1:52:32Speaker 1: civilization by reaching a deal with the devil.
- 1:52:36Speaker 3: The biggest diplomatic victory of Iran. This sounds like in
- 1:52:40Speaker 3: ninety seventy nine, but don't quote me on this. This
- 1:52:43Speaker 3: is very fresh. We haven't seen the deal but any
- 1:52:45Speaker 3: deal any day. Having closed Hormus is the biggest victory
- 1:52:49Speaker 3: of Iran.
- 1:52:51Speaker 1: Absolutely. He's already told Bibintanielle and he said it went
- 1:52:55Speaker 1: very well. I'm sure that conversation went very well. But
- 1:52:59Speaker 1: he's such a liar, you know, Okay, reality has no function, right.
- 1:53:05Speaker 1: Ian Nikos was the first person I heard in objective
- 1:53:08Speaker 1: at Circles saying the United States will lose the war
- 1:53:12Speaker 1: with you on shout out to the honesty and accuracy.
- 1:53:17Speaker 3: We had the debate me and Michael Kaufman versus Jim
- 1:53:22Speaker 3: Brown and Razzi Greetings.
- 1:53:25Speaker 2: How much was the bet? I don't remember the amount
- 1:53:27Speaker 2: of money, but yeah, so.
- 1:53:30Speaker 1: Did Michael Kaufan was on which side?
- 1:53:33Speaker 2: On my side?
- 1:53:34Speaker 1: I'm surprised. He's a huge Trump fan and he thought
- 1:53:39Speaker 1: that Trump would lose the war? All right?
- 1:53:44Speaker 3: No, no, yes, we we yes, we thought, yeah, we
- 1:53:47Speaker 3: thought that he would lose that not he would lose
- 1:53:49Speaker 3: the war, that he wouldn't actually managed to translate this
- 1:53:53Speaker 3: to oh wait, no, you're right, No no, no, Mike
- 1:53:56Speaker 3: was on the other I wasn't Jim Brown.
- 1:53:58Speaker 1: You're right, No way, Mike would be on your side,
- 1:54:01Speaker 1: No way.
- 1:54:03Speaker 3: Anyway for us, He's watching a remind us who I
- 1:54:06Speaker 3: remember which side I was ongust it was the weeking side.
- 1:54:09Speaker 1: I'll just say, given how pathetically weak the Iranians were
- 1:54:13Speaker 1: at the beginning of this war, pathetically weak, it takes
- 1:54:17Speaker 1: real talent and skill to lose to them. I mean
- 1:54:22Speaker 1: it really may you have to really work hard to
- 1:54:25Speaker 1: be able to achieve this. And and I think I
- 1:54:29Speaker 1: think they Yeah, I think they did it all right.
- 1:54:33Speaker 1: Greg says, Happy Birthday. Run Niko's birthday date is proving
- 1:54:38Speaker 1: more difficult to identify. They can't figure out my birthday.
- 1:54:42Speaker 3: My birthday is the easiest one. It's the most stalinist
- 1:54:46Speaker 3: birthday in history. It's the day that it's Trotsky got
- 1:54:51Speaker 3: the hammer on his head and the day that the
- 1:54:53Speaker 3: Soviet tanks storm into Prague.
- 1:54:56Speaker 2: Figure out what the day is, and you'll know my birthday.
- 1:54:58Speaker 1: There you go, right. Cobbs says, the manisphere has a
- 1:55:05Speaker 1: weird obsession with soy what that means? Do you know
- 1:55:11Speaker 1: what that means?
- 1:55:14Speaker 3: I'm laughing because so I'm with rasin Canterberry and I
- 1:55:19Speaker 3: have forgotten my wallet and I'm buying milk and I
- 1:55:24Speaker 3: used it for smoothies, and I go to buy soy milk,
- 1:55:27Speaker 3: and Rasie tells me I declined to buy you soy
- 1:55:31Speaker 3: milk because and he caught me into this, I mean
- 1:55:35Speaker 3: later he the manusphere of the crap. He was the
- 1:55:39Speaker 3: first who who got my attention to soy. So yeah,
- 1:55:43Speaker 3: there was all this idea that soy makes you more,
- 1:55:46Speaker 3: raises your extends, so you get feminized, so to speak.
- 1:55:53Speaker 3: So Rasie saved me from soy.
- 1:55:56Speaker 1: So you don't dot soy milk anymore.
- 1:55:59Speaker 3: Well, now it's so much into my subconscious that but
- 1:56:02Speaker 3: not anyway, I don't. I will digest well like a fear.
- 1:56:07Speaker 3: So the truth is, it doesn't digest that great. So
- 1:56:10Speaker 3: I don't know if it's the extrogence, but not the
- 1:56:12Speaker 3: big fun.
- 1:56:14Speaker 1: Okay, Nichols, do you follow and know the Joco podcast?
- 1:56:26Speaker 3: Of course? Wait a minute, also you it's here, so anyway,
- 1:56:34Speaker 3: I can't reach the book. But yeah, I've read both
- 1:56:38Speaker 3: the books, and I wanted to show you how many
- 1:56:40Speaker 3: notes they are. So yes, Joko is also an example
- 1:56:44Speaker 3: of someone who you see it, you get a vibe
- 1:56:47Speaker 3: of a healthy leadership, of someone who when he tells
- 1:56:51Speaker 3: you something, you trust that it is the truth. Which
- 1:56:55Speaker 3: again for me, this is the important thing that don't
- 1:56:58Speaker 3: need to second guess. Someone says something you believe, you trust.
- 1:57:02Speaker 1: Them because the CEO the Navy c.
- 1:57:08Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, he has written the leadership book, the
- 1:57:13Speaker 3: most famous one, Extreme Ownership.
- 1:57:17Speaker 1: Cob says, Nicos, did you see Clevicula magged by the judge?
- 1:57:23Speaker 1: I don't know what that is. I don't know what
- 1:57:24Speaker 1: any of them means.
- 1:57:25Speaker 3: So Clervicular is the guy who is supposedly Yeah, so
- 1:57:31Speaker 3: he he's on he's on court.
- 1:57:33Speaker 2: I don't know why.
- 1:57:35Speaker 3: But the judds the judge is as if you took
- 1:57:38Speaker 3: the gigs at the meme. Imagine the authority of just
- 1:57:43Speaker 3: Naragansett with the physique the face of gigasad. So in
- 1:57:50Speaker 3: the language of the man, mogged means you're not anymore
- 1:57:54Speaker 3: the alpha male of the group. There is someone who
- 1:57:56Speaker 3: imposes himself as the alpha male of the group. So
- 1:57:59Speaker 3: there you have the that's morgguing a clavicula. So, yes, friend,
- 1:58:03Speaker 3: I saw it right.
- 1:58:05Speaker 1: I'm missing out in a whole universe. Cobs says, you
- 1:58:10Speaker 1: see rich, successful guys with young beautiful women, but you
- 1:58:14Speaker 1: don't see rich successful women with young handsome men. Is
- 1:58:17Speaker 1: that hypogamy? First? Of all that, we said that that's
- 1:58:22Speaker 1: not true. You know, I don't think that's true anymore.
- 1:58:25Speaker 1: It is a whole new thing right now. Of there
- 1:58:29Speaker 1: was just a big story about this New York Times
- 1:58:32Speaker 1: of older women with young men, older successful wealthy women
- 1:58:38Speaker 1: with young men. There is big this like the in
- 1:58:41Speaker 1: thing among certain circles in New York. So I don't
- 1:58:45Speaker 1: I don't think that's I don't think that's true anymore.
- 1:58:49Speaker 3: And at least myself, I never said that there's no
- 1:58:53Speaker 3: biological difference in how sexual attraction works among the different sexes.
- 1:58:58Speaker 3: The fact that I cannot tax plan or give you
- 1:59:00Speaker 3: a completely or it doesn't mean that they're not there.
- 1:59:03Speaker 3: So there's no question that what men find sexually romantically
- 1:59:08Speaker 3: attractive is different from what women find the sexually attractive.
- 1:59:13Speaker 2: So that explains this discrepancy, friend.
- 1:59:16Speaker 1: And that's true. And again it's also hard to tell
- 1:59:21Speaker 1: how much of that is really coded in, how much
- 1:59:23Speaker 1: of that is really part of who we are biologically,
- 1:59:26Speaker 1: and how much of that is cultural and we see
- 1:59:30Speaker 1: in the movies and the images projected to us. So
- 1:59:33Speaker 1: it's very difficult to you'd really have to know a
- 1:59:36Speaker 1: lot about male and female psychology. To really analyze these phenomena,
- 1:59:41Speaker 1: and I don't think any of these manosphere, any of
- 1:59:43Speaker 1: these people have that kind of knowledge. They're just accepting
- 1:59:48Speaker 1: the way things are as the given. And then I
- 1:59:51Speaker 1: think things are all changing. I think the last fifty years,
- 1:59:54Speaker 1: because women have entered the workplace, because we live in
- 1:59:58Speaker 1: a culture that's much more mind over ented, a lot
- 2:00:01Speaker 1: of this stuff is going to change, and but it
- 2:00:05Speaker 1: won't change the fact that there are fundamental differences between
- 2:00:08Speaker 1: men and women. Men and women are different, and they're
- 2:00:10Speaker 1: are going to be in some ways attracted differently. But
- 2:00:14Speaker 1: I think I think it's going to manifest itself in
- 2:00:18Speaker 1: different ways in the future because we live in a
- 2:00:20Speaker 1: different world. Context matters.
- 2:00:23Speaker 3: And they are even evolutionary psychologists who lock horns with
- 2:00:27Speaker 3: a monoseur like you should know a guy from the UK,
- 2:00:31Speaker 3: William Costello, who is constantly fighting with Ronald Tomassi because
- 2:00:36Speaker 3: he's an evolutionary psychologist and he's telling him the things
- 2:00:39Speaker 3: you say that our evolutionary psychology are not evolutionary psychology.
- 2:00:43Speaker 1: So yeah, and I think a lot of evolutionary psychotgies
- 2:00:47Speaker 1: is just so stories anyway. So I'm not sure if
- 2:00:49Speaker 1: there is an ear when it comes to evolutionary psychology.
- 2:00:52Speaker 1: I think a lot of it is bs Roland says,
- 2:00:58Speaker 1: EA recently did an episode on Looks maxing. Maybe that's
- 2:01:02Speaker 1: what you had in mind. I guess that's to you,
- 2:01:06Speaker 1: not to me.
- 2:01:08Speaker 3: Yes, yes it was, yes, yes it was. Maybe it
- 2:01:11Speaker 3: was in a r c K. Yes I remember. An
- 2:01:15Speaker 3: objective is many money to.
- 2:01:16Speaker 1: Recent Oily says, happy body ran great talk from you both,
- 2:01:21Speaker 1: Thank you, Thanks Oily, w c z N enjoying these
- 2:01:26Speaker 1: duo shows. Thanks, thank you. And then this say is
- 2:01:30Speaker 1: I think the final question. Manosphere's relationship with Christian nationalism
- 2:01:35Speaker 1: is interesting because Jesus was a feminine guy who knows
- 2:01:42Speaker 1: he's he didn't ever saw it. He didn't wheel the sword,
- 2:01:47Speaker 1: but he did kick out the money changes. He had
- 2:01:49Speaker 1: had some physicality to him. He kicked out the many changes,
- 2:01:53Speaker 1: money changes from the from the temple.
- 2:01:58Speaker 3: Joking aside the few people in the manust who have
- 2:02:03Speaker 3: actually intellectual.
- 2:02:06Speaker 2: Influences.
- 2:02:06Speaker 3: A lot of it is needs and it's mostly either
- 2:02:10Speaker 3: the Daylight or beyond Good and Evil and actually has
- 2:02:15Speaker 3: this criticism of Christianity. So it's weird how Christianity and
- 2:02:20Speaker 3: the manuosphere go hand in hand. It gives you what
- 2:02:24Speaker 3: you don't explain, this comfort that you know how we're
- 2:02:27Speaker 3: going to tell you what to do. Life is going
- 2:02:29Speaker 3: to be simple. But beyond that, if you think about it,
- 2:02:32Speaker 3: I think it needs was onto something that these two
- 2:02:35Speaker 3: world views, these two systems of values, it's not clear
- 2:02:39Speaker 3: how they can meet.
- 2:02:40Speaker 1: But think about think about what happened in Christianity. I mean,
- 2:02:45Speaker 1: I think that's right of Jesus. But think about what
- 2:02:48Speaker 1: happened in Christianity once it gets adopted by the Roman Empire.
- 2:02:55Speaker 1: So Charlemagne is not exactly a whim, but he embraces
- 2:02:59Speaker 1: Christianity in the cross and goes fighting in its name.
- 2:03:02Speaker 1: Or Charlemagne or a lot of warrior kings, or the Crusades, right,
- 2:03:07Speaker 1: the Crusades, think of think of heg Seth, who is
- 2:03:10Speaker 1: the secretary of war, who has this big tattoo of
- 2:03:14Speaker 1: a of a of a crusading cross. There is a
- 2:03:20Speaker 1: there is a whole interpretation of Christianity that is very
- 2:03:23Speaker 1: militant and very aggressive and uh and very violent, which
- 2:03:29Speaker 1: I think counters kind of the Jesus Christianity, if you will.
- 2:03:35Speaker 3: Which also shows how weird the whole thing is, or
- 2:03:38Speaker 3: what is Christianity, the theory, the history.
- 2:03:41Speaker 1: Yes, it's all weird because that's what you get with
- 2:03:45Speaker 1: with mysticism. There's no no way around it. All right,
- 2:03:48Speaker 1: as always, this is fun. Uh, So we have to
- 2:03:51Speaker 1: figure out what we're doing next week and we'll talk
- 2:03:54Speaker 1: about Six Day War when we're going to talk about that,
- 2:03:57Speaker 1: and I will see all of you guys. You know what,
- 2:04:04Speaker 1: I'll probably do a show tomorrow. I was gonna skip tomorrow,
- 2:04:07Speaker 1: but given given, given news in the Middle East, I'll
- 2:04:12Speaker 1: need a forum in which I can vent my frustration,
- 2:04:16Speaker 1: anger and uh and hatred, and I think you are it, guys.
- 2:04:21Speaker 1: So I'll probably do a show tomorrow which will be
- 2:04:24Speaker 1: completely one hundred percent dedicated to me, just trying to
- 2:04:30Speaker 1: you know, telling you exactly what I think of Trump
- 2:04:32Speaker 1: if you don't know yet, and that'll be it, Nikos,
- 2:04:36Speaker 1: and I'll be back. Will probably be back to the
- 2:04:39Speaker 1: Sunday schedule next week next weekend, so.
- 2:04:41Speaker 2: Well, Saturday is the Champions League final. It has to
- 2:04:44Speaker 2: be Sunday.
- 2:04:44Speaker 3: Yeah, Saturday is the Witch Final, the Champions Link Final.
- 2:04:49Speaker 3: We have a Narsenal fun who is uh, we can't
- 2:04:53Speaker 3: take this away from him.
- 2:04:54Speaker 2: We have towards the five.
- 2:04:55Speaker 1: So Nico says it's the finals, So no show on Saturday.
- 2:04:58Speaker 1: It'll be on Sunday. Generally shows will be on Sunday
- 2:05:01Speaker 1: and except you know when when things don't don't line up.
- 2:05:05Speaker 1: But football, yes, football, all right? Ps g versus Arsenal
- 2:05:11Speaker 1: and Nichols. Somebody told us what he thinks of Arsenal
- 2:05:13Speaker 1: last time, so I'm not sure who he's rooting for. Actually,
- 2:05:17Speaker 1: all right, guys, have a great rest of your weekend.
- 2:05:21Speaker 3: Thank you Nicos, Thank you had on happy Berthday. And
- 2:05:24Speaker 3: good to know you're out there monitoring the situation. That's
- 2:05:28Speaker 3: what we need.
- 2:05:29Speaker 1: Yeah, mind monitoring the situation sadly has actually no impact
- 2:05:34Speaker 1: on the situation. So but yes, see you guys, see
- 2:05:37Speaker 1: you guys tomorrow. Right. Life
