| Okay, we're trying this again. | |
| Oh, there we go. | |
| This time it decided to work. | |
| Guys, I'm so sorry for that. | |
| Now let me just send out a tweet, yeah that's muted. | |
| Technical errors. | |
| Stream is now live. | |
| Alright, tweeted. | |
| And I need to reboot this thing to see the comments. | |
| Sorry about that. | |
| We were streaming for five minutes, but it wasn't streaming. | |
| It's always something in the current year, boy. | |
| So let's see. | |
| Could somebody comment just to make sure I can see things? | |
| There's me. | |
| Got the strong impression that you are commenting, guys, but it's not showing just yet, so. | |
| So. | |
| Well, start the stream over again. | |
| Yeah, I was doing something earlier that I'm not supposed to be doing. | |
| Very naughty boy. | |
| I was paying attention to the news. | |
| Which is really something you shouldn't do, right? | |
| It's not good for your mental health. | |
| You don't learn anything of value. | |
| To quote the Z-Man, I was listening to his podcast earlier today. | |
| To quote him, he was involved in a conversation where people were talking about the economy. | |
| It's doing bad here, but then this thing's happening. | |
| And then somebody at the table said, yeah, but honestly, we don't even really know if any of that's true, do we? | |
| So what I was hearing about in the news is back in late last year, when Donald Trump was trying to get us out of Afghanistan. | |
| Oh, what's the nickname of Afghanistan again? | |
| Right, graveyard of empires. | |
| am i the only one that studies history like am i who are these people Back when he was trying to get out of Afghanistan, the New York Times reported that Putin was putting out bounties on American soldiers. | |
| Well, it just came out that that was entirely fake news. | |
| That was entirely manufactured by the Intel community to justify staying in Afghanistan. | |
| Let's see. | |
| By the way, can I get some comments just to make sure that this thing's working? | |
| I think I need to reboot this. | |
| But here's the problem. | |
| Like, he closed the app, but sometimes it doesn't actually close the app. | |
| It just removes it from your app list while it's still running. | |
| Welcome to touchscreen technology. | |
| It's a reason I like PCs. | |
| There we go, I'm Addie. | |
| I can see you. | |
| Awesome. | |
| So I can't see the comments. | |
| Got eight of you guys here. | |
| Sorry about being late. | |
| There's just a technical error. | |
| Said it was streaming, but it wasn't streaming. | |
| Anyway. | |
| So yeah, now Biden wants to get out of Afghanistan. | |
| So they've admitted that it was entirely fake news. | |
| That the New York Times was publishing made-up facts to justify a policy decision. | |
| But now that they have changed the policy decision, now they want out of Afghanistan, they've changed those facts. | |
| And yet we are still apparently in some sort of Cold War with Russia. | |
| And they expelled the Russian diplomats. | |
| I mean, what the hell do these people think they're doing? | |
| What is this utter madness? | |
| You know, China is actually an existential threat. | |
| Number one, because they've got like 20 billion people in their frickin' country. | |
| 20 billion smart people, nonetheless. | |
| We've shipped all of our manufacturing over there, thanks to the petrodollar. | |
| And China is actively buying our politicians. | |
| Okay? | |
| Like, there's some pretty strong evidence that Justin Trudeau is in the pocket of the Chinese. | |
| There's the whole Hunter Biden thing. | |
| Like, he was bought off by... | |
| The president's son was bought off by the Chinese government. | |
| And they had all that blackmail material on him. | |
| And now we have him parading about town pretending that he's the victim. | |
| He's the victim of his drug addiction. | |
| He was looking for parmesan cheese in the carpet. | |
| I. Really? | |
| Why do these people get to be the victim all the time? | |
| Right? | |
| You know, Oprah is oppressed. | |
| I wish I was oppressed like Oprah. | |
| Why is it that anything that's wrong with my life is proof that I'm an asshole according to the system? | |
| But with these people, everything, every wrong thing they do is proof that they're a victim. | |
| Explain that one to me. | |
| So yeah, China is actually an existential threat. | |
| As in, like, not that I'm saying let's go nuke China. | |
| That's not what I'm saying. | |
| I'm saying, let's get our house in order. | |
| Let's get our shit together. | |
| Because right now, China is eating our lunch. | |
| And the CCP is not full of nice people. | |
| Right? | |
| This ain't the Philippines. | |
| This is China we're talking about. | |
| I better mute my cell phone. | |
| Oh yeah. | |
| There we go. | |
| Hey, Arabel just joined three lemons. | |
| Thank you very much. | |
| I just clicked distribute rewards, I don't know if that, I don't know what that did. | |
| Hopefully that sent all of you guys some lemons. | |
| Thank you very much for listening. | |
| And thank you for the donation. | |
| Now Jimmy Dore's just talking about this too. | |
| You know, my buddy, I was texting with my buddy earlier today. | |
| And he said to me, man, I wish I missed. | |
| I miss making a lot of money. | |
| I'm like, yeah, man, I miss making money. | |
| Oh, there we go. | |
| There we go. | |
| We just distributed some lemons. | |
| Amadi got the most because she's the top commenter. | |
| apparently. | |
| I don't really know how this stuff works. | |
| We're figuring it out as we go. | |
| Probably the best way to do things. | |
| Any millennials or zoomers in the chat, please explain all this stuff. | |
| Russia is not an existential threat. | |
| Russia, we have a disagreement with them over a frickin' oil pipeline and how much control they should have of Eastern Europe. | |
| We think CNN should control Eastern Europe. | |
| They think differently. | |
| We have, yeah, we got some things we disagree with on them, but fundamentally they should not be our enemies if we're a Western nation. | |
| If we are a Christian Western nation, Russia is not the biggest threat. | |
| Of course, that, you know, are we a Christian Western nation anymore? | |
| Or just a globalist playground. | |
| So yeah, these maniacs are rattling the saber at Russia. | |
| These are the same maniacs that can tinue. | |
| I need to get a lifesaver, Maddie. | |
| Oh, they. | |
| Lockdowns are still going on. | |
| Tempers are fraying. | |
| I mean, people are really getting sick of these lockdowns. | |
| But there's such a division between the people that still have jobs and the rest of us. | |
| Like, those that are secure in their jobs. | |
| Those that are all worked up about COVID, that are excited about wearing face masks. | |
| love the Zoom calls, which, god, I hate Zoom calls, man. | |
| I, it is not the ideal way to communicate. | |
| I just don't like them. | |
| Maybe it's from doing this and from, you know, doing filmography. | |
| It's like, when I'm in front of a camera, I'm acting. | |
| I'm performing. | |
| Right? | |
| I can't just chill out and be myself. | |
| And yeah, a lot of these people, they've got absolutely zero sympathy for people that are stretched thin, people that have lost their work, people that are worried about losing their work. | |
| Nobody's paying attention. | |
| It seems like nobody's paying attention to what's happening to the prices. | |
| Prices are going up. | |
| Things are getting ugly. | |
| Ah, lag. | |
| Hopefully it's just your internet. | |
| I wonder if you guys should see if there's a way to decrease the quality. | |
| Yeah, I think you can decrease the quality on this. | |
| Oh boy, like 2021 is like we're a third of the way through the damn year already. | |
| And yeah, I optimistically said that they were going to back off with all these stupid lockdowns starting in March. | |
| And they started to back off, and then there's a new strain or some bullshit like that. | |
| Like I was saying on the last stream, I know of two people that have died from the vaccine, and I don't know anybody that's died from the illness. | |
| And you know what? | |
| Like, I'm old. | |
| I'm old, so it's not like I'm 20 and I don't know anybody. | |
| I'm 40 and I don't know anybody. | |
| Hey, Mike Hunt. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Thank you for following. | |
| That's a fantastic name you got there. | |
| Yeah, but now they're doing another lockdown, and it's just people's nerves are fraying. | |
| Oh, thank you. | |
| You know what? | |
| Drink and smoke and be angry at the world all the time. | |
| That's how you stay useful. | |
| Youthful and useful. | |
| Drink and smoke and be extremely bitter about life. | |
| That's how you do it, folks. | |
| Oh my goodness. | |
| Like, I've been looking into a new gig for myself. | |
| You know, like, I don't even want to complain about it. | |
| Okay, there's a lot of people doing worse than I am right now. | |
| Except, yeah, you know what, I do want to complain because there's no reason for things to be this bad. | |
| There is no excuse for any of this. | |
| Yeah, I just, I was looking at some numbers the other day, and it's like, swine flu is actually deadlier than this stupid thing. | |
| Oh, and here's one for you. | |
| I thought this was just a meme. | |
| It's not a meme. | |
| This haggard sack of leathery skin in charge of Alberta Health tweeted out that things have been doing so well that we've had zero flu deaths this year. | |
| Zero cases of the flu. | |
| It's all COVID. | |
| The lockdowns worked so well that we got rid of the flu finally. | |
| That thing that's been with us for all of human history, yeah, doesn't exist anymore. | |
| But look out for COVID. | |
| terrifying. | |
| I swear, these government employees that just can't lose their jobs, the These politicians that make stupid amounts of money, like they, their income from politics isn't even their major income. | |
| Can't lose their jobs. | |
| They're writing all these rules. | |
| Who's that governor down in Minneapolis? | |
| That nobody else is allowed to get a haircut, but she had her hairstylist come to her mansion in violation of COVID rules. | |
| Yeah, COVID caused my toe to be stubbed. | |
| Yeah, the flu literally disappeared. | |
| Like, I thought that was just a meme. | |
| I thought that was just a joke that us critics of the pandemic. | |
| Well, I thought that we were just making that up. | |
| We were just exaggerating because it's like, yeah, flus are way dense. | |
| We know they're misreporting. | |
| No, they're at zero. | |
| They're at zero. | |
| That's not how statistics work. | |
| That's not how diseases work. | |
| Like, this is blatant lying. | |
| Russia putting hits out on American troops. | |
| That is blatant lying. | |
| The media is lying constantly. | |
| And these sons of bitches have the temerity to accuse you of being a conspiracy theorist for pointing out that the media is lying. | |
| The media is reporting that the media is lying. | |
| Have you noticed that? | |
| You're a conspiracy theorist. | |
| There have been three recalls of masks being issued to kids in daycares because they're toxic. | |
| Made in China and full of toxic materials that cause lung damage. | |
| And they're burying that news. | |
| Yeah, we're the assholes. | |
| We are the assholes for wanting to be able to go to work, for saying I'm not afraid of this fake flu. | |
| I mean, yeah, technically, it's not fake. | |
| Yeah, there is something. | |
| It's just not scary. | |
| We're the assholes. | |
| Mandy says, I feel like both sides are cooking the books on COVID. | |
| It's like both sides are cooking the books on everything. | |
| It's just, it's sheer insanity, wherever you look. | |
| It's gaslighting for crying out loud. | |
| It's freaking gaslighted. | |
| And yeah, I had a really dark thought the other day that really this is what the world has been for a long time. | |
| Right? | |
| It's all of the bullshit the past year has just kind of made things honest about it. | |
| And you know, I know I go back to this one. | |
| It's a personal pet peeve, but the smoking bans and bars. | |
| And the smoking taxes in general. | |
| Banning smoking in bars saved 10 million lives a year. | |
| Oh, did it now. | |
| Is that... | |
| What does that even mean? | |
| Saved a life. | |
| You mean it added an extra three months to a life? | |
| That's the life you saved? | |
| There's that woman. | |
| They used this woman as the excuse to ban smoking in bars in Canada. | |
| Some woman named Tarbox. | |
| I'm not even making that up. | |
| Her name is literally Tarbox. | |
| And supposedly she died of secondhand smoke at the age of 27. | |
| That's not how toxic exposure works. | |
| But no, we're supposed to believe that. | |
| They made laws on it. | |
| Not allowed to smoke in your damn bar. | |
| You open a bar? | |
| Can't smoke in it. | |
| Not allowed to socialize with people. | |
| You know, I was reading this, there's a great UNS article about just all of the rat fucking going on with the Middle East. | |
| You guys remember the embargoes on Saddam Hussein, right? | |
| After the First Gulf War? | |
| 10 years of embargoes so that he couldn't build weapons of mass destruction. | |
| Now, on the list of things that were embargoed, powdered eggs. | |
| See, your average person, you know, they just read the headlines, that's it apparently. | |
| They don't pay attention to what's going on. | |
| They just, oh, I'm sure the people in charge aren't a bunch of rat fuckers. | |
| I'm sure they're decent human beings. | |
| Look, he says he goes to church. | |
| I'm sure we're just embarking on depleted uranium pellets. | |
| No. | |
| No, the list of things being embargoed was like just about everything. | |
| Like, I mean, for crying out loud, people, every you know, every domestic terror plot, where do they buy all the stuff for the domestic terror? | |
| They buy it at Home Depot. | |
| Okay? | |
| You can make bombs and explosives out of just about anything. | |
| So we were embargoing food. | |
| And trade is critical to an economy. | |
| So yeah, one million children died. | |
| One million children. | |
| Unlike smoking deaths, which are completely a figment, just people, they die slightly earlier. | |
| Fiddle D D. | |
| Those ears suck anyway. | |
| These were children dying. | |
| Dying of illness and malnutrition because of these embargoes. | |
| And one of the rat fuckers, I forgot the guy's name. | |
| One of the rat fuckers was asked, was it worth it? | |
| And he's like, I think it was worth it. | |
| think those 1 million children, it's good they died. | |
| And this is the same guy, you know, rattling the saber for more whores in Afghanistan. | |
| And, you know, how many kids are dead in the Middle East because of these wars? | |
| These people just love dead children. | |
| They just absolutely love dead children. | |
| And yeah, you know what? | |
| There's a lot of BS coming from what's that picture? | |
| There's a picture that bounces around on 4chan of a woman holding up a couple of rounds and saying that she extracted these from the walls of her house. | |
| Even though they're still in the casings, because these morons. | |
| See, I hope I'm that sexy when I'm his age. | |
| See, I hope I'm that sexy when I'm his age. | |
| Takes 40 years to die from smoking and yet secondhand can kill you in two years. | |
| I actually knew, because they were claiming that back in the day. | |
| About 20 years ago, they were claiming secondhand smoke was worse than first-hand smoke. | |
| Which it's like, it's sort of technically true, because when you're pulling on it, you get a hotter flame, you get more perfect combustion, there's less carbon monoxide. | |
| And then when it's idling like this, it produces carbon monoxide. | |
| But carbon monoxide, it's like carbon monoxide only kills you if you really overdose, okay? | |
| Like what it does is it bonds with your red blood cells more effectively than oxygen does. | |
| And so if you turn the car on in your garage, soon all of your blood is full of carbon monoxide and it's not feeding your cells and so you asphyxiate, essentially. | |
| But I actually knew a girl that she didn't smoke, but her sister did. | |
| So anytime her sister smokes, she'd take a puff to protect her from the secondhand smoke. | |
| I mean, like, this is... | |
| Hey, and I remember believing that. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I was 17 at the time, I guess. | |
| I used to think that the people in charge actually recorded things in a truthful type of manner Yeah, World War II was absolutely World War 1 and 2 were absolutely psychotic | |
| best of a generation destroyed but yeah i was saying this is this is just the world that is this open air like i don't want to go all like alex jones on you This open-air prison planet. | |
| It's exactly what it is. | |
| Not allowed to go to the bar. | |
| Even when you are allowed to go to the bar, you're not allowed to smoke in the damn bar. | |
| Man, there were times I was at the bar, and all of us, everybody in the bar and the owner, we would all go out for a smoke together. | |
| These days, if you try and have a conversation at the bar, bartender's going to come over and tell you you're not allowed to have a conversation. | |
| It's too politically incorrect. | |
| Get the fuck out of here. | |
| You know, I've been thinking about running a paranoia game. | |
| Paranoia is this role-playing game that is happening in the Alpha Complex, which is run by friend computer. | |
| And you must love friend computer. | |
| That's mandatory. | |
| Punishment for not loving friend computer is summary execution. | |
| And so the whole game is just paranoia. | |
| It's this complete shit show of a world. | |
| And it's all about betraying people and getting away with it. | |
| And it's really just a slight exaggeration of what corporate culture is like. | |
| That really is a corporate culture. | |
| Doesn't matter if you screw everything up at the end of the mission, as long as you can prove it was somebody else's fault. | |
| You will be rewarded for it. | |
| Thank you, Turner and Hooch. | |
| Not feeling cheerful enough for the smoking jacket today. | |
| So I'll tell you where I differ though with the conspiracy theorists, right? | |
| Like where I differ with Alex Jones is: I don't think that this is a giant plot. | |
| Okay? | |
| I mean, like, you're going to find little conspiracies all over the place. | |
| Classic example I like to use is fluoride in the drinking water. | |
| Now, fluoride in a mega dose does make you very like it really screws your head in a large dose. | |
| And so there's a conspiracy theory that they're putting fluoride in the water to give everyone the fluoride stare, which is a fantastic phrase that I recommend you adopt. | |
| But there's not really any evidence that the fluoride is high enough for it to accomplish that. | |
| What actually happened is: see, fluoride actually is good in toothpaste. | |
| It, for some reason, it knocks apart plaque. | |
| It's good in toothpaste. | |
| And they discovered that at a time when fluoride was an industrial pollutant. | |
| Right? | |
| So if fluoride was created as a side effect from your industrial process, you had to pay to dispose of it. | |
| And then they discovered some very loose evidence that fluoride is maybe good for teeth. | |
| And so they translated this into: let's put fluoride in the drinking water. | |
| So now they could sell it to municipalities. | |
| And that's the conspiracy going on there. | |
| It's follow the money. | |
| It's almost always money. | |
| Yeah, that's why, like, the shipping container getting lodged. | |
| That's why I didn't buy that it was a conspiracy. | |
| Because, like, who's profiting off of this? | |
| Right? | |
| point to me, the person connected to the shipping container, that's profiting. | |
| So like a huge part is just these people aren't smart enough. | |
| If these people were smart, why would they saber rattle against Russia? | |
| Like, this has some potentially ugly outcomes. | |
| Why would they still have us in Afghanistan, the Graveyard of Empires? | |
| Why? | |
| If they're planning to reduce the population, like all of the Bill Gates vaccination schemes, all of this psychotic behavior, why do none of these people talk about IQ? | |
| Right? | |
| See, if I were an atheistic despot ruling the world stage, what I'd want to do, my eugenic program, would be to try and create more high IQ people. | |
| Because high IQ is just a universal good. | |
| Like in any, any situations, you're around somebody, them having 10 more IQ points makes your life better. | |
| There's very few situations where you want someone to be dumber. | |
| Like somebody's planning to rob your house, give them 10 more IQ points, they might figure out that's a really stupid idea. | |
| IQ is just so it's unparalleled a good thing. | |
| There's an economic word for that, something that, like, you never get sick of having more of it, right? | |
| Like, for instance, cars. | |
| Like, after about your third car, you don't have anywhere to put the damn things. | |
| So you don't want a fourth car. | |
| If somebody came and offered you a fourth car, I'd say, no, thank you. | |
| I'm full up on cars right now. | |
| But if somebody offers you an extra 10 bucks or an extra 10 IQ points, you're going to say, yes, please give them to me. | |
| You can never have enough money. | |
| You can never have enough IQ. | |
| So why is it that these people are putting into place policies that destroy IQ? | |
| Why are they putting dysgenic policies into play? | |
| And so that's why I don't really buy that there's some sort of global control the population ratfuckery going on. | |
| Because like what's the plan? | |
| Let's make everybody really stupid and violent profit. | |
| Like you can look at parts of the system that do that. | |
| Like the welfare services, for example. | |
| The more stupid and violent people you have in society, the more welfare jobs you have. | |
| So you know welfare definitely wants to increase the number of screwed up families. | |
| They've got a major incentive there. | |
| You could probably say the same thing for corporations. | |
| I mean fat, stupid people are more likely to go eat at McDonald's, so McDonald's wants there to be more fat, stupid people in the world. | |
| Plausible. | |
| But Bill Gates, sitting upon his iron throne, drinking his poo water, why does he want to make the world full of stupid people? | |
| My theory is that he's an idiot. | |
| The guy's a midwit. | |
| Guy has maybe, maybe an IQ of 130, although I think that's pushing it. | |
| Probably more like 125 or something like that. | |
| So he's just smart enough to figure out what the popular things to believe in are. | |
| Right? | |
| And, you know, one of the beautiful things is he's so woefully out of date with the whole thing, too. | |
| Like, if you take the atheist cult before Atheism Plus, that's Bill Gates. | |
| That's what he believes. | |
| He fucking loves science. | |
| And he thinks vaccines are great because stupid, dumb people don't use vaccines. | |
| And IQ has been disproven and discredited. | |
| It's all a pseudoscience. | |
| That's what he believes, because that's the popular thing to believe. | |
| Man, how did we get to this point where we're ruled by midwits? | |
| There is an observation that Ryan Falk made. | |
| And I think this is one of his most brilliant observations. | |
| What did he call it? | |
| The university lowest common denominator belief. | |
| Something like that. | |
| So if you go to your, what you do is you go to a university campus and you pick an idiot at random and you ask them about different topics. | |
| And if they are studying psychology, they will tell you actually IQ is one of the most rigorous and duplicatable theories out there in psychology. | |
| You got IQ, you got big five, and everything else is pretty tentative. | |
| And he'll tell you that. | |
| But on every other thing that he has an opinion on, it's just going to be the midwit opinion. | |
| Point is, if you go to the actual experts in these fields, they will tell you what's actually going on. | |
| like if you talk to an actual epidemiologist about covid you're going to get a pretty sane answer and for the most part they're going to be again if you're an epidemiologist you're going to it's like asking a guy at the gun shop if you should buy more guns He's going to say yes. | |
| But nonetheless, even though they're kind of like, oh yeah, we want all these, all this litany of BS, same thing, go ask the Pentagon whether we should be paranoid about Mexico, and they will go on and on about drug cartels and influencing local politics. | |
| Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. | |
| Got it. | |
| But they're also not going to claim that, I don't know, what's a stupid idea about Mexico, that Mexico's planning to invade. | |
| They're not going to be that dumb. | |
| But everybody else on the university, everybody seems to think they know about something that they know nothing about. | |
| And they think you're stupid if you actually know about it. | |
| So you got the general midwit opinion. | |
| Maybe this is what happens. | |
| You know, like, maybe what happens is the journalists and the political leaders just have these useless degrees, right? | |
| Sociology, English, you name it. | |
| So they have these useless degrees. | |
| Like, sociology isn't even real. | |
| Okay, like nothing. | |
| Just about nothing has come out of sociology that's made the world a better place. | |
| Almost everything sociologists do is just rat fucking. | |
| And so they get into power and they believe all the stupid, midwit, edumicated opinions on psychology, on physics, on global warming, climate change, you name it. | |
| They have the absolute idiot opinion on it. | |
| And these are the morons in charge. | |
| That's 2021. | |
| The thing with these people, | |
| they are belligerently ignorant. | |
| They're not just wrong, they're belligerently wrong. | |
| Yeah, it's fine not to know about something. | |
| It's fine not to know about something. | |
| But if you don't know about something, don't go around forcing your ignorance upon other people. | |
| So that's the big one. | |
| The, these. | |
| These global conspiracy theorists or the global conspiracy, I don't buy into it because they're ignoring IQ. | |
| You know, there's this wonderful Biden video where he's talking about just waves and waves of endless immigration. | |
| actually says endless immigration and how freaking wonderful it is. | |
| What do you even say to that? | |
| Number one, integrating immigrants is hard. | |
| They have trouble speaking the language quite often, so you need interpretation. | |
| Like, it's just expensive to integrate people. | |
| Number two, just generally speaking, generally speaking, the reason they want to leave their country is because their country sucks. | |
| So, en masse, we're talking about people that couldn't run a functional country. | |
| Why do we want those people in our country? | |
| And even if you do, even if you do just have like the really high IQ immigrants coming over, then all you're doing is creating a brain drain from that country, guaranteeing that that country is going to get worse and be more of a basket case. | |
| Here's a radical idea. | |
| How about we give people a hand up instead of a handout, right? | |
| Yeah, that's never going to happen. | |
| Again, those are just general reasons why massive immigration is a bad policy for a polity to adopt. | |
| Nothing against individual immigrants. | |
| I mean, like, quite frankly, okay, like these kids dying in the Middle East because the drone warfare, like, just all of this endless warfare. | |
| We're on the same page, man. | |
| We're just the peons running around the rap fuck maze, having to wear masks, getting jerked around left, right, and center, not allowed to run our businesses, not allowed to smoke in our damn bars. | |
| Like, we're the same thing as them, right? | |
| It's not the immigrants that are to blame, it's the idiots in charge that are screwing up this entire planet. | |
| I heard that the shipping container was blocked out on Google Earth. | |
| Bro! | |
| Probably just because they didn't want to, like, probably just for map accuracy. | |
| would be my guess as to why. | |
| Let's see. | |
| Oh, okay. | |
| So fluoride binds with aluminum, aluminium, and causes Alzheimer's. | |
| I think the dose is small to make it an overtime effect. | |
| Yeah, see, like, there's not. | |
| I think it should be removed from the drinking water, but they're like, it's not turned the whole population to zombies overnight, right? | |
| Everything produced by this system is dystopic and suicidal, not even capable of replacement-level reproduction, and should be the main criticism against it. | |
| Yes, exactly. | |
| Yeah, we got there. | |
| These are sociopaths in charge. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| Those callous comments about kids starving to death in Iraq. | |
| I mean, this isn't some Ignorant dipwad. | |
| Oh, screw those Iraqis. | |
| They evolved in 9-11. | |
| And by the way, I know I just did a southern accent for the ignorant dipwad. | |
| The ignorant dipwad I'm thinking of has a very high-level position at the major bank in Canada. | |
| He just doesn't know anything about politics and he defaults to this like dumb Republican type opinion. | |
| But see, look, that's an ignorant and callous opinion. | |
| But if you actually brought that guy over to Iraq and he saw the dying kids, he'd feel bad and he'd want to help them, right? | |
| No, no. | |
| These people that are actually running the thing and passing these policy, they don't have that level of ignorance. | |
| They know exactly what they're doing. | |
| Utter disregard for human life. | |
| What if you don't need a lot of people with high IQ to make the system run? | |
| My experience? | |
| Not true at all. | |
| The more high IQ people you have, the better everything runs. | |
| Like if you. | |
| If you're doing a military operation, you are better off if everybody's a sergeant. | |
| Like the reason that you have privates and sergeants, partly it is the chain of command. | |
| But everybody that was a sergeant was a private at one point and they're happy taking orders. | |
| You know, you lay out the chain of command. | |
| If everybody has the experience of a sergeant, it's going to be a more effective military unit. | |
| More experience is better. | |
| Higher IQ is better. | |
| like higher iq you don't need to use freaking pictures on the tills at the mcdonald's so that's a big one Like the whole system is just so dystopic and suicidal. | |
| Like it doesn't even make sense. | |
| You know what I saw the other day? | |
| Kingsman, The Secret Service, or The Secret Something. | |
| That movie was a lot of fun. | |
| And I'm going to highly recommend it. | |
| It's naive and optimistic about human nature. | |
| Well, sort of. | |
| Sort of. | |
| Maybe it's not that naive and optimistic. | |
| It's the villain to it. | |
| But Barack Obama is one of the villains, which is fantastic. | |
| The villain is basically Mark Zuckerberg, right? | |
| Some tech giant CEO that's terrified of global warming, and they have a secret plot to kill off 90% of the planet. | |
| And the good guys are the inheritors of Arthur's Roundtable, who are just like, they're totally James Bond. | |
| Fancy suits, really cool tech gadgetry, super soldiers, all sorts of the fantastic kung fu fights. | |
| And they're trying to stop the evil left-wing globalists from destroying the planet. | |
| It's absolutely fantastic. | |
| I wish good guys like that actually existed. | |
| And it's. | |
| It kind of reminded me of that bit from The Silver Chair, where Puddlegum says, you know, maybe we're just a bunch of babies imagining this world that has actual heroes in it, that actually has a son and goodness and truth and Jesus and all of that. | |
| Maybe we're just babies imagining this. | |
| But it seems to me that my imaginary world licks your world. | |
| Your world is awful and terrible and utter garbage. | |
| And if a bunch of babies can make up a better world than this, then screw your world. | |
| I'm going to believe in heroism. | |
| Globo homo hieroglyphs. | |
| the Georgia Guidestones. | |
| I love that those things are getting graffitied constantly. | |
| Anyway, really good movie. | |
| It's a fun movie. | |
| It's a very fun movie. | |
| And I don't know. | |
| It kind of shamed me saying, like, man, I need to be more heroic. | |
| Right? | |
| I let myself. | |
| I let myself down too often. | |
| I need to be better than I am. | |
| So. | |
| We probably need more fiction like that. | |
| Very difficult. | |
| Very difficult to write in a world like this. | |
| You know, the other movie I saw, I finally watched it. | |
| I finally watched Joker. | |
| And I was pretty cynical about this going in. | |
| I thought it was just another taxi driver. | |
| I thought it was going to be... | |
| Anyway, I was pretty cynical going into it, but that movie was absolutely fantastic. | |
| I mean, I enjoyed the fact that it actually has really complex narrative, very complex storytelling, that about half the movie is only happening in Joker's head. | |
| The let's see, it starts off with he's watching the guy on TV, and he imagines himself in the audience and being mentored by the guy on TV. | |
| Right? | |
| And that part is very clearly fake. | |
| Oh, what's this? | |
| Come join the stream. | |
| So yeah, that part is very clearly fake. | |
| And that's the first indication that they give you early on that, yeah, this is an unreliable narrator right here. | |
| The guy's delusional. | |
| The whole relationship with his neighbor is in his own mind. | |
| You know, they established that at the end where she kind of looks at him and is like, I have no idea who you are. | |
| You're just weird. | |
| And even the ending scene where he's being taken away and there's all these riots happening all over the place, that's entirely in his own head. | |
| Right? | |
| And I thought it was going to end there. | |
| I thought the movie was going to end with him seeing these riots and I'm kind of left wondering, are the riots real or fake? | |
| But then, no, they cut to him in the insane asylum. | |
| And it's very clear that everything that he just imagined happening, all in his own head. | |
| And, you know, it's funny. | |
| I've gotten so sick of the realistic superheroes. | |
| I mean, when they first did it with Batman Begins and, you know, The Dark Knight or whatever, like that trilogy. | |
| Third one wasn't the best, but it was kind of new and fresh. | |
| It's like instead of the ridiculous comic book stories, it's like, oh, we're going to put them in the real world. | |
| That was kind of interesting. | |
| But then Marvel just absolutely did it to death. | |
| And the seams were just really beginning to show. | |
| And so then Joker comes out and asks the question: what if the Joker were a real person? | |
| And guess what? | |
| The real person is not a super villain. | |
| The real person's just a delusional man that, you know, he kills a few people and then he gets locked up. | |
| Very interesting, too, that put him in the 1970s. | |
| Very much was making me think of F is for family. | |
| It's the 1970s, it's like that's that's when the lie was exposed. | |
| Right? | |
| That's when the American dream ended and we all woke up. | |
| And you know, the 80s pumped a bunch of coke into the body, and we had some fun in the 80s. | |
| Things were still awful, but at least we were having fun. | |
| And the 90s were okay for a bit. | |
| It's the institutional abuse that we saw in the 70s that's still going on. | |
| It's the leaders that we have, the decision makers in our society, are not doing their job. | |
| They are just driving the whole society into the ground. | |
| And you know, it's business keeps innovating. | |
| You know, you got the Elon Musks. | |
| You got the... | |
| Oh, who's that guy that the right wing hates because he's gay? | |
| They keep building this new technology, but the parasites just glom onto that. | |
| You know, it's so funny in that in the Kingsman, the metaphor that they use for humanity is that we're a virus that's killing the host. | |
| We're a parasite that's killing the host. | |
| When the reality is, it's that these, it's the Mark Zuckerbergs, and that's not- That's not. | |
| Don't tell me that Facebook is tech. | |
| Facebook is really, really basic tech. | |
| Alright? | |
| No, no, tech is the cell phone infrastructure. | |
| The cell towers. | |
| The battery technology. | |
| Yeah, I'm not the biggest fan of Apple, but Apple actually created new things. | |
| Facebook just tossed some code together, stole your identity, and got backed by the CIA. | |
| That's not tech. | |
| That's not real innovation. | |
| And that's no more real innovation than loans are financial activity. | |
| No, no, no. | |
| Building widgets is financial activity. | |
| That's GDP. | |
| Loaning somebody money and charging them interest, that's, no, you're not making anything. | |
| So we've got the rat fuckers that are the politicians, the Mark Zuckerbergs, the bankers, just absolutely parasiting off of the system. | |
| And they've just built up this whole system that is completely indifferent to human suffering. | |
| I guess that's really the takeaway from Joker, isn't it? | |
| Now I'm gonna have to rewatch that movie. | |
| No, no, not Milo. | |
| The uh Peter Thiel. | |
| Peter Thiel Joker is the movie. | |
| And you know, maybe it's just you know, film snob. | |
| I can't stand the Marvel movies because they're just so basic, right? | |
| It's like watching a kid's cartoon. | |
| It's like, yeah, I've seen. | |
| There's only like 20 episodes of a kid's cartoon. | |
| I've seen all of them multiple times. | |
| I'm bored out of my head watching it. | |
| Whereas Joker has that really complex narrative that keeps you guessing as to which parts are real, which parts are delusion. | |
| And so I find that intellectually stimulating, enjoyable. | |
| Oh, Blobohomo hieroglyphs, the silly symbols slapped on everything to help people who won't learn the language and or who can't think very well. | |
| We're, man, we're becoming illiterate again. | |
| Oh, Peter Thiel of the Build Burgers. | |
| all right i don't know that much about him yeah it's really hard to say Like, there are people doing really cool stuff out there. | |
| The whole damn system's just being choked to death. | |
| Oh, guys, I was hoping to be a little bit more cheerful on this live stream, but I'm really getting sick of this 2021. | |
| I am pretty damn sick of this world. | |
| It is not, it's not a fun place to be. | |
| Oh, goodness. | |
| And maybe if you're saying, maybe what you do is you just completely indulge in fantasy. | |
| I mean, that is kind of what our society has decided to do, isn't it? | |
| Like, we worship movies and celebrities. | |
| Vicarious entertainment. | |
| Simulation simulacrum. | |
| Maybe that's the smart thing. | |
| Abandon reality. | |
| Eat nothing but simulacra. | |
| Live in a simulation. | |
| Certainly seems more sensible, but I just can't buy it. | |
| Crypto is a way out. | |
| Central banks are communism. | |
| I think the question is, how do we make the mundane heroic again? | |
| Top off my ice, and then expand on that thought. | |
| The issue I take with the Marvel movies, one of the issues I take with them, is that you need permission to be heroic. | |
| There is a critique by The Last Psychiatrist of Django Unchained. | |
| The critique was that Samuel L. Jackson couldn't take revenge on the evil slave owner until he became a federal marshal. | |
| That it wasn't until he was given this magic token by the government that he was able to take revenge. | |
| That he needed permission to be a hero. | |
| I mean, if rebelling against the evil Leonardo DiCaprio is a righteous action, then it's righteous irrespective of whether or not you have a badge. | |
| I am Spartacus. | |
| And there's a similar trend in the Marvel movies, where to be a hero, you need a radioactive spider to bite you. | |
| Now any fiction is going to be a little bit fantastical, right? | |
| Like to go back to the King's Men. | |
| The reality is that, no, you don't get into a fight with 20 people backflipping like a ninja and a total badass, cool Matrix character. | |
| That's not actually how life works. | |
| But that movie really established that, yes, you have to train to be a badass, right? | |
| It's all this special agent training. | |
| But the core of being a badass is actually the moral principle. | |
| That to truly be a kingsman is to be a gentleman. | |
| And a gentleman has nothing to do with your background. | |
| It has to do with being a better person today than you were the day before. | |
| It's about having ethics and standards that you live by. | |
| It's about keeping your word. | |
| Similar narrative in Star Wars. | |
| That's part of the reason those movies are beloved. | |
| Is because, I mean, even the whole Jedi Knight thing, the reason people love the Jedi Knight is because it's a physical manifestation of your moral nature. | |
| Literally, the way you get better at using a lightsaber is you improve your moral nature. | |
| Whereas the Marvel movies turn heroism into something external that happens to you. | |
| It's a magic spell that's placed upon you, and now you have permission to be a hero. | |
| And when you're a hero, things just work out to allow you to be a hero. | |
| It's another thing that The Last Psychiatrist pointed out. | |
| Funniest thing, back in, uh, about ten years ago there was all these articles coming out about wives complaining that their husbands weren't giving them sex. | |
| Which is like, wait, what? | |
| I thought it was supposed to be the opposite. | |
| It's supposed to be husbands complaining that their wives don't give them any sex. | |
| Oh no, it was Al Bundy writ large. | |
| And why does Al Bundy not have sex with his wife? | |
| It's not because she's bad looking. | |
| Lady looks fantastic. | |
| It's because he hasn't scored a touchdown in 20 years. | |
| And so for the men of 2010 that weren't sleeping with their wives, it's because they never got to fight ninjas. | |
| Wait, what? | |
| Well, the action movies of the 80s. | |
| Boy meets girl, girl rejects boy. | |
| Boy goes and fights ninjas and terrorists. | |
| Boy gets girl. | |
| The Matrix is the perfect example of this. | |
| Whoa, I know Kung Fu. | |
| Neo doesn't get Trinity until he becomes The One, and so any girl that Neo has before he becomes The One, that's just a placeholder. | |
| That's just a backstory. | |
| That's not real. | |
| Real life starts once he becomes the one. | |
| And so it's the same narrative in the Marvel movies. | |
| Everything's just backstory until they get the superpower. | |
| And it's the separation of the mundane and the heroic. | |
| And I got the... | |
| I got this buddy. | |
| I got this buddy. | |
| He's a roofer. | |
| Hard job. | |
| And good lord, this guy, you should see him these days. | |
| He used to be a tough guy when I knew him. | |
| He's just like a wall of bricks. | |
| It's terrifying. | |
| Absolutely terrifying. | |
| And he's such a good guy, too. | |
| And he's got these, like, all the pictures he posts. | |
| He's just absolutely heroic. | |
| He's just such a heroic dad, right? | |
| He posts this one picture of him holding his kid up by his foot. | |
| And the kids laughing. | |
| The kid's having a blast, right? | |
| But it's like he's pretending to be angry at the kid. | |
| He's just, he is. | |
| It's so heroic. | |
| He's the sort of guy that goes to other guys' houses and starts their lawnmowers for them, right? | |
| That's the sort of guy this is. | |
| And that guy, the mundane, is heroic with him. | |
| The mundane is utterly heroic with him. | |
| He wasn't waiting around for permission to be heroic. | |
| He wasn't waiting around for a badge or a superpower to come. | |
| He decided I'm going to be heroic in my life. | |
| Let's see. | |
| Government's trying to take over crypto, yeah. | |
| Although it's they can't really shut down the internet. | |
| Actually, let me just finish these comments first. | |
| I don't know that I have a lot more to say on this. | |
| The Django director is an actual cuckold. | |
| Puts cuck stuff in all of his movies because his mother got raped by a melanated gentleman. | |
| So I mean, like, the cuck, the cuck goes so deep with that guy. | |
| I haven't actually seen the movie, so I don't know exactly what happens, but you know, like the whole celebrating, like, oh, the slave owners were so evil, I hate being white. | |
| Like, that's pretty cucky to begin with. | |
| But he even cucks the black male elite because, like, he gets cucked by the federal government. | |
| You know, it was the system that made slavery a thing in the first place. | |
| One of the things, you know, Fallout 3, one of the things with Fallout 3, that one of the many things, the slavery in it was so stupid. | |
| Like, yeah, they had explosive slave collars they put on people, but guess what? | |
| All you have to do is wait for your slave owner to go to sleep and then murder them. | |
| Then take the activator for the explosive device. | |
| Slavery requires a very large body of people to enforce slavery. | |
| And in the case of southern slavery, what you had, what you had was anytime a slave would escape, they would round up a posse to go hunt down the slave. | |
| Now, that posse was not paid for their time. | |
| The posse were not slave owners. | |
| Like, the guy in charge of the posse was the slave owner, but everybody else had their own little farms that they were trying to work on. | |
| And so they were forced by law. | |
| And if you didn't do this, they'd lock you in a cage. | |
| They were forced by law to sacrifice their time to go hunt down a slave. | |
| Slavery doesn't work unless if you have a state enforcing it. | |
| It requires a very large investment of human energy to maintain slavery. | |
| And so, Jackson, it was the system that enslaved you. | |
| Like, maybe your particular owner was a dick, like more of a dick than normal. | |
| But he didn't invent slavery. | |
| He didn't capture your ancestors. | |
| He's just part of the same system as you. | |
| And it's the system that makes you a slave. | |
| And yet, Samuel L. Jackson can't even get revenge until the system gives him permission. | |
| So, yeah, the cut goes so deep with that guy. | |
| My tractor was stolen. | |
| I draft you to investigate, posse. | |
| That's exactly it. | |
| And the people in that posse, they got no benefit from it. | |
| They weren't benefiting from slavery. | |
| They didn't have any slaves. | |
| Funny how the monarchy of England opposed American slavery, so we revolted. | |
| Slavery really is worse for the slave owner in the long run. | |
| Anyway, government's trying to take over crypto. | |
| Part of the reason the government loves social media is because they can't actually shut down the internet. | |
| The internet, foundationally, the internet is many-to-many communication. | |
| That is extremely cheap. | |
| Like, if you look at the history, like, start with the printing press, pretty expensive to print a book. | |
| But a lot easier than trying to write a book. | |
| From the printing press, you go to, I don't know, radio. | |
| And radio, getting the equipment to receive radio is pretty cheap. | |
| But trying to transmit radio is pretty expensive. | |
| And there's a finite bandwidth on the whole thing. | |
| There's only so many radio channels available for us to be using out there. | |
| But then with the internet, like what the internet fundamentally is, is unlimited communication potential. | |
| Now, just because we have the internet doesn't mean we don't have books anymore, right? | |
| And books are still expensive to produce, but it's good to have the information contained right there reliably. | |
| And so in a similar way, the internet tends to clump information around nodes. | |
| So you've got, for instance, DLive. | |
| D Live is designed to be a really convenient streaming service. | |
| They could shut down DLive, hypothetically. | |
| But, unless I'm mistaken, isn't this peer-to-peer? | |
| So there's actually no hosting on D Live, something like that. | |
| If it's not D Live, it's another one. | |
| They could shut down D Live, but D Live is just a facilitator of us communicating. | |
| They can shut down individual websites, but I don't know. | |
| Like, if they delisted my website tomorrow, how useful is that? | |
| Right? | |
| It's kind of blatant as well what they're doing. | |
| And there's other ways to get the communication out there. | |
| This is why they love social media. | |
| Because social media puts everything into one place, and it's very, very easy to control the information over social media. | |
| But shutting down. | |
| Oh BitChute is the peer-to-peer one. | |
| I think BitChute does have some sort of server. | |
| Fundamentally, you can't shut down the internet. | |
| You can make it very inconvenient for certain ideas to get out there. | |
| But you can't really shut it down. | |
| Whispernet is a major possibility. | |
| Like, if they really tried to crack down on the internet, what we can all do is put software on our phones that just creates a local network. | |
| And it's not going to be, you're not going to be watching high-def video on it. | |
| But you can, you can, like, we've got the technology right now that just people can create their own internet. | |
| And so that's why I'm not too worried about Bitcoin. | |
| Because it doesn't have a central server. | |
| It doesn't have a YouTube or a Twitter to attack. | |
| They could go after Coinbase, for example. | |
| But they can't really go after Bitcoin itself. | |
| there will be ways to distribute it, and it doesn't, like YouTube requires YouTube to exist. | |
| YouTube goes down, they take all your videos with it. | |
| But not Bitcoin. | |
| I find, you know, as an uploader, I find BitChute extremely frustrating. | |
| Like, sometimes I'll spend all day trying to upload a video and it just won't. | |
| It'll say it uploads, but then just sits in processing forever. | |
| Yeah, the design is not all it could be. | |
| It's actually really fantastic You know, like there's laws. | |
| There's laws in place that you can't make a competing currency. | |
| I don't know if you have those laws. | |
| We probably have them in Canada. | |
| I know they exist in the United States. | |
| And it comes up every so often. | |
| Actually, we do have them in Canada. | |
| Somebody started to, they wanted to create, like, a Calgary sharing network voucher, where it'd be, like, basically it was a type of money for trading within the local community. | |
| And that ran into problems with it being a currency. | |
| And I'm not quite sure how BitChute, or sorry, how crypto avoids this. | |
| It might just be simply that there's no note. | |
| There's no physical manifestation of it. | |
| Yeah, yeah, there's a guy that made Liberty dollars. | |
| That was another example of that. | |
| So maybe it's the physical note. | |
| Whereas if you're trying to go after... | |
| Oh, good lord. | |
| It's the people being voiced by their own petard. | |
| You know, I was watching a documentary on Kim.com. | |
| And one of his emails, he famously said, we're not pirates. | |
| We're just providing the shipping services for pirates. | |
| And, you know, yeah, you probably shouldn't steal movies or video games. | |
| But I like being able to communicate. | |
| I like being able to do all this stuff. | |
| And yeah, like 90% of the data on his servers was not pirated. | |
| 90% of the data that they were hosting was not pirated data. | |
| You see what they've done with copyright law. | |
| And that's the really outrageous thing about Kim.com: that the reason they went after him and they just threw the book at him was because he was threatening the big boys. | |
| He was threatening Hollywood. | |
| He was threatening copyright law, all of this. | |
| And so what they've done is they've, with copyright law, they've turned information into property. | |
| If it was illegal for you to exchange real-world dollars with crypto, if that was illegal, then so would buying movies online. | |
| So would Netflix. | |
| would be illegal as well. | |
| You wouldn't be able to buy video games on Steam. | |
| You wouldn't be able to buy custom hats for your character on Steam. | |
| So I think that's they. | |
| They made property. | |
| They made information into property. | |
| And that's how they shot themselves in the foot with this. | |
| is why we've got crypto now. | |
| And they can certainly try and make it as inconvenient as possible. | |
| But at this point, there's enough people involved with crypto. | |
| There's enough people invested in it that it's not going anywhere. | |
| And it's not just people invested. | |
| Governments and institutions are getting invested in crypto now. | |
| you wouldn't be able to have subway tokens or gift cards so let's see It's 8:25, but I got started late, so it says we've been going for an hour and 17 minutes. | |
| Any questions, comments, or concerns, folks? | |
| Man, I saw a really spicy meat. | |
| It was guys with a time machine going up to the slave trader saying, no, stop. | |
| You don't know what it's going to look like in 100 years. | |
| And the slave trader who's of a particular ethnicity says, oh, I know exactly what it's going to look like in 100 years. | |
| What kind of skull is that in the background? | |
| One that I bought at a drugstore at Halloween back when I was 16. | |
| Because every bookshelf needs a skull on it. | |
| It needs a memento warrior. | |
| So, I don't know, just cheap. | |
| Cheap resin. | |
| Ever Google Bitcoin Bilderberg conspiracy? | |
| No, no, can you lay out the the basics of it? | |
| And yeah, folks, please please follow. | |
| Once I get to 200 followers, it increases my capabilities on here. | |
| I have not heard of the Bilderberg Conspiracy. | |
| Our government auctions the final red pill. | |
| Not sure what you mean by that. | |
| Yeah, to go back to where I was at the start of the stream. | |
| God, I have no idea what's going on, man. | |
| On the one hand, people are getting red-pilled, okay? | |
| They're beginning to notice this world ain't what we were told it is, right? | |
| Like, they're beginning to realize that, yeah, everything in the newspapers is probably a lie. | |
| But while we might think this is a good thing, at the same time, most people have no idea how to behave outside of the system. | |
| Like, I mean, look at the Flat Earth Conspiracy as an example. | |
| When people start questioning things, most of them are going to come to the wrong conclusions. | |
| And, you know, that's part of the social fabric that these rat fuckers are tearing to shreds. | |
| You know, living in a world where people can just do whatever CNN tells them to do, it's not such a bad world. | |
| If they can just do that and things are fine, that's not a bad world. | |
| But you know, it's like they realized that they could use the media to distort things to serve their agendas. | |
| They start just a little bit here, a little bit there. | |
| But they kept going. | |
| They kept going and distorting and distorting to the point where a lot of people began to wake up to it. | |
| And the original red pill movements, like the big ones starting, I mean like I got involved in the late 2000s. | |
| Can't really put a place where it all started. | |
| But, you know, even if you go like Skeptic Magazine, even if you go like Atheist Cult, the early versions of that were actually very reasonable. | |
| They came to mostly true conclusions. | |
| But now things are really spiraling out of control. | |
| and you know the flat earth thing is like the tip of that iceberg and with the what and what they've done the past year is so obviously insane | |
| It's so immediately destructive That a lot of people are going off the reservation, and not all of them are going to come around to some sane view of the world. | |
| So the Bilderberg are trying to use Bitcoin for a cashless society. | |
| I mean, that doesn't really seem like the worst thing in the world. | |
| I mean, we basically already are cashless. | |
| Although, we spend a lot of money making coins and printing bills every year. | |
| And so, going cashless, I mean, they're a weird mix. | |
| It's a weird mix. | |
| Really hard to define any of this. | |
| You know, not everything the Bilderberg does is evil, right? | |
| Like, trying to. | |
| Back when they were trying to universalize the measurement system into the imperial system, there were people worrying that it was going to just be used to tax people, right? | |
| So, that's always been a concern. | |
| But in retrospect, I think moving to the imperial measurement system and then the metric system, those were good ideas. | |
| HTTP 5 was a pretty good idea. | |
| So, yes, like every system is. | |
| There's new forms of abuse with a new system. | |
| But, you know, at least for now, getting into crypto early. | |
| Guys, get into crypto. | |
| Send me some crypto. | |
| It's on the donate page of my website. | |
| Get into crypto. | |
| Crypto is great. | |
| I haven't found a good trading platform. | |
| Fees are way too high on any of the ones I've seen. | |
| Too high to consistently make money off of trades. | |
| Because I'll trade for a while and I'll make money and then one giant move will completely blow me out of the water. | |
| Maybe I can get better at it. | |
| Maybe not. | |
| Flat Earth was reinvented on 4chan. | |
| There were a series of threads years ago that championed pretending to believe it. | |
| A few months later, they convert a black rapper who uses social media to promote it. | |
| Yeah, like the recent, 10 years ago, Flat Earth was a joke. | |
| It was actually started way back. | |
| Freemasonic curse. | |
| It was started in America by some jackass, right? | |
| And I saw a brief, like, good lord, you go back to like 19th century America, all of this stupid shit happens. | |
| And it's always in America. | |
| Maybe there is stupid shit happening elsewhere, but it always seems to be America. | |
| You know, you get these tinctures of radioactive fluid that'll heal you. | |
| You got snake oil left and right. | |
| So yeah, the snake oil guy back in the 19th century started promoting the whole thing. | |
| And he had some initial followers. | |
| It was mostly harmless back then. | |
| I mean, I guess Flat Earth is still in and of itself pretty harmless. | |
| Just really annoying and stupid. | |
| And just weird. | |
| Weird. | |
| Like, man, if you start digging into the flat earth ideas, like one of them has, like, at the What's Outside the Ice Wall, they posit a giant infinite space of ice with individual planets here and there. | |
| Like. | |
| This would be bad for a fantasy novel. | |
| Although, that said, I would really like to know what's up with the seasons and Game of Thrones, right? | |
| Like, that's supposed to be, like, a crucial thing that was going to be revealed at the end. | |
| They didn't reveal it. | |
| I want to know what the White Walkers are. | |
| Damn it, Martin. | |
| finish those books. | |
| But yeah, so the recent uptick in the Flat Earth Society was, I swear to God, it was started as a joke. | |
| But it quickly ballooned in the past few years. | |
| And yeah, it started, why does anybody, well, because they're monkeys. | |
| Look, the rapper is successful. | |
| Let's imitate the rapper. | |
| If being a rapper is successful, then I don't want success, quite frankly. | |
| Many countries are now looking at implementing digital versions of their currencies so they can control it better. | |
| Think expiration dates, but not Bitcoin itself. | |
| See, the thing with Bitcoin is it puts cryptography back into the hands of the people. | |
| There was, back before XKCD got woke, man, what is it with people that are relatively smart getting woke? | |
| at one point they were trying to ban 64-bit cryptography because they were calling it a weapon and they wound up they would they banned it but they didn't do it with the weapon And he said they should have doubled down on it being a weapon and then used the Second Amendment to justify it. | |
| See, they don't like us having 64-bit crypto because you can't crack that. | |
| And they want to make sure they can crack into your emails. | |
| The funniest snake oil is using intestinal parasitical worms to lose weight around 1900 somewhere. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I mean, like, really? | |
| Really? | |
| America's been under a Freemasonic curse for a long time. | |
| It made her wealthy, and now she's paying for it. | |
| Well, they don't believe in God anymore. | |
| Like, the kind of core of Freemasonry, Dradcat Pat was going on about this. | |
| The core of Freemasonry is that there is no original sin. | |
| That God is just an architect that built the universe. | |
| You don't need a Redeemer. | |
| I'm okay. | |
| you're okay. | |
| It is this form of radical atheism that says the universe is just your playground. | |
| You can do whatever you want with it. | |
| And you can definitely see that in the whole culture of the Robber Barons. | |
| Do you know what's really terrible about the Robber Barons? | |
| They weren't even evil people. | |
| Look at Carnegie. | |
| He donated tons of money to building the arts. | |
| The thing was, it's like there was this legal system that allowed them to do these things. | |
| So why not do it? | |
| Because there is no higher moral law. | |
| The architect of the universe did not demand a higher moral law. | |
| One that's so impossible to achieve that we need a redeemer for it. | |
| And so you start with, you know, like radical out-of-control capitalism ripping apart people. | |
| And now we're at ideology just ripping apart people. | |
| Ideas, like crazy ideas all over the place. | |
| I heard him knock. | |
| Must have been at one of my neighbor's doors. | |
| It's the police! | |
| Not this time, thankfully. | |
| I like the idea of sending a message to the future by encrypting it and guessing it will be broken eventually, putting it in online archives, et cetera. | |
| It'll be such an obscure file at that point that only AIs will find it. | |
| And probably some of these AIs will decrypt what they can. | |
| But to tell an AI to get it, to do something like disseminate your message. | |
| Share this message or your mother will die in her sleep tonight. | |
| You know what I really like is geocaching. | |
| I think geocaching is. | |
| I've been meaning to get into that. | |
| There's a cool little app called Randomnautica that will send you to random GPS coordinates to go explore. | |
| All fun and games, but nifty little thing. | |
| Oh, wow, we've got 21 viewers right now. | |
| Guys, I'm going to say again, questions, comments, concerns, queries? | |
| Because I think I am running out of stuff to talk about. | |
| To reiterate, Joker is a fantastic movie. | |
| I really didn't think I was going to like it, but it is absolutely fantastic. | |
| So is Kingsman. | |
| watch kingsman it's quite man it's like the fun james bond energy Right? | |
| Without being. | |
| Like, there's no cynicism in that movie. | |
| It's just wonderful. | |
| Are Catholics allowed to take recreational drugs? | |
| I have no idea. | |
| I've heard some people say no, but I mean, this is a recreational drug, so I don't know. | |
| Just stay away from weed if you're under the age of 25. | |
| That stuff will mess up a developing brain. | |
| And it's probably a good idea to stick with drugs that we have a lot of experience with. | |
| know, alcohol, psilocybin mushrooms. | |
| Have you thought about making your own crypto? | |
| Jimson Chin has made like three. | |
| It's not that hard. | |
| Oh yeah, yeah, I was baptized five years ago. | |
| Do you have thought about doing? | |
| Thought about like what's that new artistic thing? | |
| Right? | |
| Where you make a crypto token for a piece of art and you sell that piece of art? | |
| I've thought about that a little bit. | |
| I don't know, maybe I should make a crypto. | |
| I don't doubt that altcoin will go anywhere. | |
| I've been doing some mining of Vertcoin. | |
| And Vertcoin actually mines pretty well. | |
| I mine about a penny a day. | |
| Or no, no, a dollar a day. | |
| About 50 cents to a dollar a day. | |
| So, yeah, that's 15, 20 bucks at the end of the month. | |
| That's not bad. | |
| Just use a little bit of electricity, which just keeps my house warm. | |
| But yeah, yeah, I ran into Gurgles and Completeness Theorem. | |
| And by the way, guys, if you got good questions and we're just chilling, I'm down for chilling. | |
| But yeah, Gurgles and Completeness Theorem absolutely blew my mind. | |
| It's actually answered something I've been trying to figure out for most of my life. | |
| In the simplest form with, all right, take libertarianism, which, for the record, I absolutely despise Reason magazine. | |
| Like, everything that Z-Man says about libertarianism is correct. | |
| Libertarians are just absolute moral cowards. | |
| They're not just moral cowards. | |
| They're moral cowards that want to dictate policy. | |
| Like, there's a lot of people that don't want to address the 13%, 50% ratio. | |
| Right? | |
| A lot of people don't want to address that, which is fine. | |
| Well, maybe it's not fine. | |
| Maybe people should be more courageous. | |
| But the libertarians won't address it and in fact argue against it. | |
| The example Z-Man brought up is that there's in Minneapolis, that guy that got shot by the cop recently, where she mistook her gun for a taser, which, in the heat of the moment, is something that could happen. | |
| Alright? | |
| Don't piss off cops. | |
| None of us like being arrested. | |
| Don't piss off the cops, man. | |
| If somebody has a gun and you don't have a gun, mind your P's and Qs. | |
| But apparently he got pulled over because he had something hanging from his rearview mirror. | |
| Which is illegal in Minneapolis. | |
| Now, the question is why is it illegal? | |
| It's illegal because somebody did something stupid. | |
| They're not gonna be they're probably not gonna be pulling over grandma for her prayer beads or for whatever It's something used to pull over people that are up to no good anyway. | |
| Dude, I once got pulled over because I had a frickin' fart can on my car. | |
| Now, I didn't put it there, okay? | |
| This is a car I bought it for a mostly full pack of smokes, right? | |
| Then I drove it across the country. | |
| But I got pulled over because the cops heard the stupid fart can on this four-banger Suzuki Swift, right? | |
| It was. | |
| I was mortified. | |
| Absolutely embarrassed by it. | |
| And I told the car, it's like, yeah, I don't think the fart can or the racing stripe makes this a cool car. | |
| This car sucks. | |
| It's just the only car I can afford. | |
| And then they, you know, cut me loose. | |
| So that's the thing. | |
| Like, I might have actually been breaking a law with that car, but I didn't get fined for it because, no, it's like, nah, I'm not in too fast, too furious. | |
| I just, I'm poor. | |
| The reason that we have all these stupid laws are because there's people that do stupid things requiring the stupid laws. | |
| And pretending that's the. | |
| If we just built a libertarian utopia. | |
| Yep, yep, yep, yep. | |
| See, the libertarian utopia only works if people voluntarily follow the law. | |
| And it seems like libertarians, all they want to do is take away the tools used to arrest criminals. | |
| Like libertarians, they never get worked up over something that's screwing over the middle class. | |
| Over something that's screwing over decent people. | |
| They only go to war for idiots and scumbags. | |
| Like they defend. | |
| They want to legalize prostitution because that's what we need more of. | |
| You know, like we are just so morally uptight when it comes to sex. | |
| What we really need right now is more liberalized sex laws. | |
| that's what we need it's like take any issue that the libertarians pick the liberal side They always pick the liberal side. | |
| So, and then they pretend to be conservatives. | |
| They're maddening. | |
| But anyway, one of the okay, so I said, I was talking about like one of the questions I was dealing with. | |
| Libertarianism at first makes a lot of sense. | |
| It's only when you study libertarians that you're like, I want nothing to do with these people. | |
| They're terrible. | |
| But the libertarian idea seems like a really good one. | |
| But there's this foundational question: how do you defend the idea? | |
| Because as soon as you create a libertarian society, the nature of the libertarian society can be very easily taken over by a communist society. | |
| So where is the black box? | |
| Where's the magic box that makes all of this stuff go? | |
| And that's ultimately what Gerdel was looking for in his completeness theory. | |
| Where's the magic box that makes mathematics true? | |
| Because we're pretty sure math is true. | |
| Acting as if it's true is extremely useful. | |
| Wouldn't it be great if we could actually prove that it was true? | |
| And Gerdel went and proved that we can't prove that it's true. | |
| It's impossible to prove that math is true. | |
| And so I ran into that absolute mind fuck. | |
| We know for a matter of fact, indisputable, indisputably, that you cannot prove that 2 plus 2 equals 4. | |
| You gotta take it on faith, bro. | |
| And when I realized that, I was like getting punched in the head. | |
| And so from that, well, I basically realized that, you know, the Catholics seem to be right about everything. | |
| And so a few years after that, I, yeah, got baptized. | |
| I mean, the Catholics, like, all of the moral doctrine is correct. | |
| As far as I can tell, it certainly seemed, I mean, I mean, it's like the math problem. | |
| I don't know that math is true, but I know that believing it's true is very useful. | |
| And that in a similar manner, you've got the same, you know, the miracle of faith, the mystery of faith at the core of Christianity. | |
| That you can't ever really know that it's true. | |
| It requires faith. | |
| But if you just look at the works, if you look at what it does, this eminently seems a better worldview than take Buddhism, where everything is suffering, so you should just train yourself to be a dial tone, right? | |
| Not that Buddhism doesn't have a great deal of wisdom in it as well, but it's like the final conclusion. | |
| It doesn't have the magic box. | |
| It's like the magic box doesn't exist, so we give up. | |
| Whereas Christianity says the magic box is Christ and life is meaningful. | |
| Might not feel like it at times, but. | |
| Have I ever taken silicibbin mushrooms? | |
| Yes, I prefer LSD. | |
| It's a cleaner high. | |
| Mushrooms make you kind of silly. | |
| But I don't know. | |
| I've found great benefit in those drugs. | |
| However, see, you know, like the people have gone awry with this stuff. | |
| Who's that guy that was studying dolphins? | |
| There's a Down the Rabbit Hole has a really good, it's a YouTuber, Down the Rabbit Hole. | |
| He has these really cool, in-depth documentaries on Big Blue, the chess playing computer, or the guy that did a lot of acid and studied dolphins and tried to learn to speak with them. | |
| That sort of stuff. | |
| And that was actually the guy that developed the sensory deprivation chamber. | |
| The thing is that, yeah, you're going to have some pretty profound experiences on psychedelics, but you're also bringing everything that you have with you. | |
| And so I think a lot of people would say that, look at the conclusions this guy came to, which are like he winds up coming to conclusions that are not correct. | |
| Like if the conclusions that you come to are that I shouldn't be possessive of my wife and I should let her sleep around all the time because that's empowering, that's kind of a screwed up conclusion. | |
| Look at what happens if you do that. | |
| And so they will say, don't do psychedelics because psychedelics will lead you to Satan. | |
| But I'm looking at it and I'm like, well, cause-effect. | |
| Is it that psychedelics led him away from God or that he wasn't close to God to begin with and psychedelics exacerbated certain things? | |
| And I think it's more of the latter. | |
| I mean, if you're in a good mood and you get drunk, you'll be in a better mood. | |
| If you're in a bad mood and you get drunk, you'll be in a worse mood, right? | |
| It inflates how you're feeling. | |
| But it's not that the alcohol made you angry. | |
| It's that you were already angry and then you drank alcohol. | |
| What's with DC being militarized? | |
| I mean, like, what the hell? | |
| A cartoon frog on GAB radicalized me. | |
| Shit. | |
| Like, you actually have armies of people burning down cities and smashing windows. | |
| And us people that want to go to work, us people that just want to be left alone, we're the radicals. | |
| We're so radical that they need to lock down DC. | |
| Now, I will say at the same time, I've got a very cynical view of DC. | |
| There's Freemasonic imagery all over the damn city. | |
| There's, uh, I'll tell you the most shocking things I ever saw was the apotheosis of George Washington. | |
| Look this up on Wikipedia. | |
| So when you go into the Senate building, I did get to visit DC. | |
| I'm very glad I got to visit DC. | |
| That was a very interesting trip. | |
| When you go into the Senate building, if you look up at the roof, the whole rotunda has this painting of the apotheosis of George Washington. | |
| And it's George Washington rising to godhood and being given, I don't know, like, okay, you know the beginning of Bioshock Infinite? | |
| With the here's the sword and here are the scales. | |
| And. | |
| Yeah, that's actually in the Senate building. | |
| This is what DC actually believes. | |
| A lot of people were down on Bioshock Infinite because, I mean, the guy that made it was Levine. | |
| And it's got a very, it's got somewhat of an anti-American, anti-white subtext to the whole thing. | |
| But the subtext ain't wrong. | |
| Now, Django Unchained, that's wrong. | |
| That's a caricature of reality. | |
| Which ultimately serves to, you know, obey the government, obey the system. | |
| You don't get to rebel until we give you a badge. | |
| Then you get to rebel. | |
| You get to rebel in the way that we tell you to rebel. | |
| Go burn down Minneapolis, right? | |
| But the Bioshock Infinite, I think, is a very apt criticism of DC. | |
| It's a very creepy, like, it's very satanical, quite frankly. | |
| No, no, no, Luciferian, I should say. | |
| It's very Luciferian. | |
| So. | |
| Yeah, look up the Apotheos of George Washington. | |
| It's Bioshock Infinite, essentially. | |
| And yeah, so, you know, DC being militarized. | |
| It's like absolutely ridiculous. | |
| Nobody's going to do anything. | |
| The only people that want to do anything can't afford the gas money to get there. | |
| But it just. | |
| It's the paranoid king, isn't it? | |
| Paranoid king that's convinced everybody's out to get him when it's his vice president is probably the one that's out to get him. | |
| If you're under the age of 25, don't take any mental drugs, recreational or prescribed. | |
| Agreed. | |
| Agreed. | |
| Especially marijuana, guys. | |
| Seriously, stay away from marijuana. | |
| When you're older, like I've done marijuana as an adult, and it's like I have a bit of fun on it, get a bit silly. | |
| When you are younger, though, it can seriously screw up your brain. | |
| Or maybe you can even screw it up when you're older, but I've already screwed up my brain. | |
| Maybe I used to be a lot smarter. | |
| The I've seen horrific things from SSRIs. | |
| Although, again, not I'm not a psychiatrist, so that's just that opinion is about as useful as my opinion on Dogcoin. | |
| Davis coin or a Rini coin. | |
| Maybe Cassie coin after my old dog. | |
| I miss her. | |
| Mike says, I spent about a hundred bucks in gas fees, what powers Ethereum, to make an NFT, and then the fuckers banned it. | |
| It was a dolphin holding an AR-15. | |
| Funny. | |
| Why did they ban it? | |
| That seems like bullshit, too. | |
| I mean, you paid, it's yeah, it's fine. | |
| It's a dolphin holding a. | |
| You know what? | |
| I ran into what's this guy called? | |
| Thought Thought Lead 2 or something like that? | |
| It's this guy that really rocks a mustache. | |
| And he does these. | |
| They're a little bit clickbaity, but they're also full of a lot of information. | |
| So I'll forgive him with the clickbait titles. | |
| But he does just these like mini documentary films as well. | |
| And he was doing one, or he mentioned, I haven't read the article yet, but I mean, okay, let's just. | |
| We're dealing in facts here. | |
| This isn't the world I want to live in. | |
| This isn't the world you want to live in, but it is the world we live in. | |
| And, you know, one of the things that is coming is social credit scores. | |
| You know, it is just, it's absolutely infuriating that posting a picture of yourself with a rifle that you legally purchased, just doing a cool movie guy pose is a major, is potentially something you should be really worried about. | |
| So he posted an article about how to purify your social media, which is, I like sharing funny memes on social media. | |
| But increasingly, I'm just so aware of how any of these damn things could be used to accuse you of mental illness or something like that. | |
| You know, it's, man, that's one of the things I really hate about the current year. | |
| I really hate that there are so many people ready and willing to quote you out of context to try and discredit you. | |
| And, you know, I'll tell you, one that really frustrated me was from the old circular firing squad that started with people that I thought were my friends and colleagues. | |
| And one of the things they started saying, they started saying that I was mentally unwell. | |
| Which is. | |
| It's like, tell me who hurt you. | |
| Oh god, somebody made a meme of that. | |
| It was so beautiful with the rat fuck lefty guy. | |
| Tell me about the woman that hurt you and made you become red-pilled. | |
| It's like, dude, everybody's been hurt by a woman. | |
| Literally everybody has had their heart crushed. | |
| Men and women. | |
| Right? | |
| And to go up to a feminist. | |
| Now, it may be the case that somebody is angry at men or women because their heart got crushed. | |
| That may be the case, but that doesn't discredit their argument. | |
| You should confront the argument, not the person. | |
| That's called ad hominem for crying out loud. | |
| But it's particularly frustrating because these ad hominems can all potentially be used in, if not a court of law, at least the court of public opinion, to undermine you as a person. | |
| And so, oh yeah, Davis is mentally unwell lately. | |
| Dude, aren't we all? | |
| Show me the paragon of mental health in the year 2021. | |
| It's probably the Joker, right? | |
| It's, uh, yeah, my dog died a few months ago, and I'm really sad about that. | |
| That's not a sign of mental unhealth. | |
| And we all have stuff that pisses us off, and sometimes we take that out on our loved ones. | |
| And then we apologize for it if we're good people. | |
| Topping off the ice. | |
| You know, the reason this is on my mind is um, I got involved in a twitter conversation about the spoony one, Noah Entweiler, who has never done me no harm whatsoever. | |
| had some really good entertainment back in the day, and I want nothing but the best for the guy. | |
| But he's been going through a really rough patch for the past five years, and it started off, he was actually one of the first public figures to get canceled. | |
| He made a joke that didn't land well. | |
| He made a joke about chaining a girl to his radiator in the basement. | |
| It was clearly a joke. | |
| It wasn't the funniest joke. | |
| The girl at the time laughed about it. | |
| And then, something like a month later, some other woman that was not even part of the conversation accused him of being rapey for making that joke, and he got canceled by all his colleagues. | |
| Just circular firing squads everywhere these days. | |
| Age of Judas. | |
| Fucking age of Judas, man. | |
| I tell you what, be super, super careful who you let into your life these days. | |
| I'm just going to leave it at that. | |
| But since then, he's gone into a really bad place. | |
| And what happened earlier this year is that he tweeted that he couldn't get his medication because of the snow. | |
| Like, he hadn't received his medication and he was going off of it. | |
| And it was absolutely awful. | |
| And he tweeted, you know, it's like, I'm in for a rough patch. | |
| Either I'll survive this or I'll die. | |
| And now, in the context, it was pretty clear that he was saying that the going off these meds is so awful that I feel like I'm dying. | |
| Not, I'm planning to harm myself. | |
| But what happened is one of his followers phoned the cops and sent them to his house. | |
| How many more autistic teenagers need to die. | |
| Not to sound like Reason Magazine, but how many more autistic teenagers need to die before people figure out don't phone the cops? | |
| If there's any way you can not phone the cops, don't phone the cops, right? | |
| I mean, if somebody, if you've got a gang of 30 people with pitchforks at your door, okay, phone the cops. | |
| But until it gets to that point, don't film them. | |
| And so that's the thing, man. | |
| If you post on Facebook, I'm sad because my dog died, somebody can use that to prove that you're planning to harm yourself. | |
| It's absolutely ludicrous, but that's kind of the place that we're going right now. | |
| And so, you know, I might, maybe I'll do a video or something, talk about cleaning up your social media to keep you safe and secure. | |
| And it's frustrating, because the whole point of social media is to be social. | |
| Post jokes. | |
| There's always somebody offended by a joke these days. | |
| You know, say that I'm really sad and lonely because this lockdown has been screwing with my head. | |
| No, no, you post that, somebody phones the cops on you. | |
| Jeez, man. | |
| Jeez. | |
| world we are making for ourselves. | |
| Firehap says I'm not getting a big deal with trans women in sports. | |
| Why do men care? | |
| Women support it, and it's an inferior product anyway. | |
| Oh, yeah, and I'm completely with you on that. | |
| I want to phrase this correctly. | |
| I encourage women to engage in physical activity. | |
| I like girls that want to go hunting with me. | |
| I love girls that enjoy shooting guns. | |
| And I think, you know, I think anybody studying some martial arts is a good idea. | |
| Although, Davis supports martial arts. | |
| He wants to be a criminal. | |
| Shit. | |
| I hate this year. | |
| But I think there is something deeply unfeminine about being competitive in sports. | |
| Like, okay, I think sports are pretty dumb to begin with. | |
| But when you see one of these 200-pound linebackers, 250-pound linebackers, by the way, fun fact. | |
| You know, Chauvin, that whole I can't sneeze situation? | |
| Do you know how much the guy weighs? | |
| 140 pounds. | |
| My ex-girlfriend weighed 140 pounds. | |
| Okay, and she was. | |
| I'm about to break one of the rules of White Boy Summer, but she was a smokeshow. | |
| Chauvin weighed 140 pounds. | |
| Like, so, so the really funny thing, okay, so this, I think this is funny, is because Floyd, especially that really dumb picture they have of him where he looks like the pit bull, like he looks like a big guy. | |
| You got a couple of tiny little twinks fighting on the street, and the whole nation is burning down because two twinks got into a fight. | |
| I think that is so funny. | |
| And, you know, while I'm on that, by the way, like, I was listening, I've been catching a little bit of news. | |
| You know, I listened to lawyers talk about it. | |
| And they're obsessing. | |
| They are obsessing over whether or not it was technically manslaughter. | |
| And, all right, so here's my point. | |
| When you're asking somebody to go enforce the law, right? | |
| Like, you're putting them in harm's way. | |
| If it's a cop or a bouncer or a soldier or whatever, when your job is using physical force to get people to comply with you. | |
| Over here is justified force. | |
| Over here is unjustified force. | |
| And there's a huge gray area in the middle. | |
| Okay, like that cop that pulled out her pistol instead of her taser. | |
| I got sympathy for that, man. | |
| In the heat of the moment, when shit is going down right now, you don't get to load a save file. | |
| You don't get to calmly and collectively study the situation to figure out what you should do and pull out your manual, the steps of using force. | |
| You're in the heat of the moment. | |
| Now, if you take a guy that's handcuffed and start beating the crap out of him, yeah, that's excessive use of force. | |
| If. | |
| But that's not what's happening. | |
| Like, this is. | |
| They're trying to debate, like, here's the line. | |
| Was it here or here? | |
| And it's like that gray area. | |
| This is absolute gray area. | |
| I don't have much sympathy for Chauvin either. | |
| I'll start supporting the blue when the blue starts supporting me, basically. | |
| but it's nuts. | |
| Two Twinks got into a fight. | |
| Oh yeah, right. | |
| Trans women. | |
| So, yeah, I don't have. | |
| How'd I get onto George Floyd from that? | |
| I was going to say, so when you see, yeah, that 250-pound linebacker, you see these men at the absolute peak of physical performance throwing the ball around. | |
| It's like, okay, so I don't find it interesting, but I can understand why that would be interesting. | |
| Now, if nobody was paying for professional sports in my perfect universe, anybody that got to that level would be completely psycho. | |
| Like there's, why would you be... | |
| Why would you be that physically fit if you weren't getting paid for it? | |
| Anybody that's like that obsessed with something is just a fucking psycho. | |
| Although I might defend somebody that was that dedicated to art. | |
| Maybe we all gotta be psycho about something, right? | |
| But so this is why, like, women compete. | |
| When men compete, there's like there's direct payoffs for it, right? | |
| And, you know, even creating art. | |
| Like, really being dedicated to art. | |
| Like, you create something that just benefits everybody. | |
| Who benefits, how does society benefit from women being really good at playing volleyball? | |
| So I think women's sports are even sillier than men's sports and something deeply unfeminine. | |
| So yeah, I've got zero sympathy for the women that are being pushed out. | |
| Like, and women boxers. | |
| Right? | |
| Like, yeah, like, kids should totally play volleyball in high school. | |
| That's, that's fantastic. | |
| But female boxers, female MMA fighters, what the hell is that? | |
| And so, the fact that they're now competing with transsexuals, it's. | |
| No, I'm not wishing ill on them. | |
| But at some point, one of these women is going to die. | |
| They're going to die from getting punched in the face by one of these guys. | |
| And I don't look forward to that, but it will be a little bit funny in a really, really dark sort of way. | |
| Good. | |
| Don't wish ill on them. | |
| The whole thing is stupid, but not my problem. | |
| There are so many stupid things in the world that are my problem. | |
| Who cares about it? | |
| Of all the things I'm going to spend my life energy on, go ahead. | |
| Put transsexuals in sports. | |
| Rachel Warnock said, or sorry, Raphael Warnock said. | |
| The meaning of Easter is more transcendent than the resurrection of Jesus Christ. | |
| whether you're a christian or not through a commitment to helping others we are able to save ourselves man you're just baiting me to get to faith versus works aren't you The guy that was killed had a warrant out for his arrest for robbing and sexually assaulting a woman. | |
| Well, there we go. | |
| You know, at least Floyd was actually a victim. | |
| He was a victim of his drug dealer who, um, what was it? | |
| Floyd thought he was getting methamphetamine, but he got fentanyl instead. | |
| Now, Floyd had also lived a dissolute life where I was thinking of a metaphor the other day. | |
| That if you're drunk driving and you run a red light, and then you get arrested for it, or you hurt somebody, god forbid, Do you regret the traffic error or do you regret getting into your car in the first place? | |
| I think if you're going to look back on the decisions you made that led up to that, the real error wasn't that you missed the red light. | |
| the real error was that you got into your car in the first place. | |
| And so a similar thing with Floyd. | |
| The guy had been overdosing on drugs for a very long time, right? | |
| And now his dealer apparently gave him something that was completely unsafe, but it's not like he was a responsible user. | |
| Okay? | |
| I'm not going to toss people under the bus just because they do drugs. | |
| First of all, I'd make a hypocrite of me. | |
| Second of all, I don't see anything wrong with doing drugs. | |
| I'm doing drugs right now. | |
| Okay? | |
| By which I mean whiskey. | |
| Not on anything else, aside from nicotine and caffeine. | |
| But Floyd wasn't just, like, if you got, like, a guy that uses drugs responsibly, and then the drug is laced with fentanyl, and he ODs because of that, um, I actually, my sister was dating a guy, and he OD'd on fentanyl, and... | |
| And I think something like that might have happened. | |
| I mean, I don't know all the details, but yeah, that guy's a victim. | |
| And Floyd was a victim of this, but Floyd was also regularly ODing on drugs. | |
| Where is this guy yet? | |
| He had a warrant out for robbing and sexually assaulting a woman. | |
| Why, why? | |
| Again, they're the victims. | |
| I'm the asshole. | |
| I'm a terrible alcoholic, which is my fault. | |
| And I am sexist and racist, and I'm all these things, and it's all because I'm evil. | |
| But this guy sexually assaulted a woman and then got shot because he's a victim. | |
| Poor guy. | |
| Poor guy that was pushed into assaulting a woman. | |
| So Maddie says, Raphael Warnock is a Baptist pastor and a senator from Georgia. | |
| We have a Baptist pastor talking about the importance of works. | |
| Oh goodness. | |
| Like, I don't. | |
| I don't even care about the Faith Works thing. | |
| Okay, it's just that apparently Baptists really, really care about the Faith Works thing, and that proves that Catholics are the whore of Babylon or something. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I don't know. | |
| It seems like a decent thing, decent message she was putting out. | |
| Matt Walsh says the big problem is fatherless homes. | |
| Yep. | |
| And, well, shit, they did a pretty good job destroying marriage, didn't they? | |
| Peterson said something that was akin to Chesterton's fence. | |
| So, Chesterton's fence is: if you're wandering along and you find a fence and you can't figure out why it's there, don't tear it down until you figure out why it was built in the first place. | |
| It might be really important. | |
| It might be useless. | |
| Maybe we can get rid of it. | |
| Or it might be super, super important. | |
| And Peterson was talking about marriage. | |
| And so the thing is, when you get married, when you get married under marriage 1.0, I won't leave you no matter how awful things get. | |
| So there's one thing that you can count on now, aside from God, is your spouse. | |
| That they will never leave. | |
| Even if you two just absolutely hate each other, they will still stick around. | |
| And what marriage 2.0 did is it, if things get bad enough, I might leave. | |
| Oh, that's not a marriage anymore. | |
| And if you have that person that is going to stick around no matter how awful you are, that actually helps you be a lot less awful. | |
| Having that person that put up with your shit. | |
| It's like you do the whole courtship, you figure each other out, and it's like, you know what? | |
| I know you're full of snakes, and I'm full of snakes. | |
| We're both full of bees. | |
| But let's give it a shot. | |
| And even if the snakes come out sometimes, it's worth it. | |
| That actually helps you tame the snakes. | |
| It really, really does. | |
| and went married to 2.0. | |
| Even if you don't get divorced, it's just, it's always this hypothetical potential. | |
| You know, like, there'd probably be... | |
| One of the big reasons I never got married is I never met somebody that, like, I didn't quite put the question to them like that. | |
| Actually, maybe I met one girl, but we weren't suited for each other. | |
| I don't think we were. | |
| But all the others I dated were never willing to make the moral commitment of, yeah, it doesn't matter how many bees are in you. | |
| I'll stick by you no matter what. | |
| Right? | |
| Like, every I love you I've heard had an asterisk next to it. | |
| And you know, the sad thing is, like most people, most people want the asterisk there. | |
| Maybe the big error the Catholic Church did was try and make people better than they wanted to be. | |
| Most people want the asterisk milk Most people want the excuse. | |
| Most people want to be able to bail out. | |
| People want the get-out-of-jail-free card. | |
| And you know, who the hell am I to tell them they can't have it? | |
| But yeah. | |
| Fatherless homes. | |
| Yeah, there's a it's not just the marriage that we destroyed the children that we destroyed Have you seen the social media of the Libertarian Party's the last few years? | |
| 99% super woke crap. | |
| Fuck all libertarianism. | |
| Or all libertarians, yeah. | |
| Yeah, I mean, Libertarian, they're just the first one to slip the blade, aren't they? | |
| Mmm. | |
| Not just communism can take over a libertarian society. | |
| Feudalism can as well. | |
| Which is exactly. | |
| Yeah, I should have said feudalism. | |
| That's an like modern corporate culture is really more feudalism than communism, really. | |
| Like the right is all worried about socialism and communism. | |
| What we should be worried about is feudalism. | |
| And at least with old feudalism, I mean, this is why the game paranoia might be a lot of fun. | |
| Is because in paranoia, it's not just that you obey. | |
| Like, feudalism, do what I say, give me half your harvest, or I kill you. | |
| Well, alright. | |
| Here's half my harvest because I don't want to die. | |
| But modern feudalism, while still having the pretension that we have freedoms and rights, it's a it's you have the right to own a gun. | |
| You have the right to post a picture of you doing a Superman pose with the gun. | |
| But will punish you for it. | |
| Because you're not loving friend computer enough. | |
| I just avoid all labels and organizations. | |
| It all fails. | |
| really does maybe this is this I think this is part of the mid-whip full-whip thing or sorry the half-whip Half-wit, Midwit, Fulwit. | |
| The Midwit isn't smart enough to get accepted to any clubs. | |
| And the Fulwit says, I would never join a club that would have me as a member. | |
| Which implies that I'm a midwit for having joined some clubs. | |
| At least I'm a midwit that learns his lessons, usually. | |
| The clubs, yeah, the clubs always fail. | |
| The clubs always fall apart. | |
| And you are absolutely correct in that assessment. | |
| Don't join things. | |
| Don't put labels on yourself. | |
| Whatever you, whenever you put a label on yourself, there was, oh god, there's another YouTube channel that makes, uh, they make videos with like these little cartoon people. | |
| And there's a comment from it that I just thought was absolutely brilliant. | |
| When you join something, you join a movement because you think it says good things and it's doing good things. | |
| As soon as you sign on the line, well, once that movement starts doing stupid things, you're still a member of it. | |
| So let's say you naively joined up with Black Lives Matter because you thought that cop should be less dickish. | |
| Yeah, it's something we can all get behind. | |
| Well, now you're part of an organization that burns and loots cities. | |
| How's that working out? | |
| And yeah, you join libertarianism because you think it's about freedom, and next thing you know, it's all stupid, woke shit all over the place. | |
| Ever notice the fascies on Congress Wall? | |
| Oh, absolutely. | |
| Actually, one of the things I've been meaning to make, I've been meaning to make a fascies. | |
| Just to, you know, because I'm an idiot and I like pissing people off. | |
| And also the fascis is actually quite a, it's all over American iconography, by the way. | |
| Got a good picture of a friend of mine. | |
| And the background is, like, the statue of a guy holding a fascist. | |
| And it's, like, in... | |
| Where was that? | |
| Midwest United States. | |
| That's all I can remember. | |
| They have a recreation of Notre Dame in that city. | |
| He and I also went there. | |
| But yeah, yeah, Fascies is all over the place. | |
| It's a fantastic symbol. | |
| Sorry Lenio says, how do I watch older videos here? | |
| No replays available. | |
| I think if I get 200 subscribers, there will be replays available. | |
| For now, I'm trying to upload them to BitChute. | |
| Actually, been meaning to switch to a different streaming service because BitChute, it's like you upload, you put the description, you load a image, you do all this jazz, and then you hit upload, and then you have to check in 20 minutes whether the damn thing uploaded or not because it's just in there processing. | |
| And sometimes processing means it's going to be available in two minutes, and other times it means it's never going to be available. | |
| You need to go through the whole rigmarole again. | |
| And it's oh god, it's like the opposite, like it's the opposite of gambling addiction. | |
| Where gambling addiction, you get a payout every so often, so you get addicted. | |
| Whereas this just punches you in the face so often that you're like, I fucking hate this thing. | |
| I want nothing to do with it. | |
| So I do actually have the last streams on my hard drive. | |
| That's the nice thing about Prism. | |
| The software I'm using to stream to D-Live is it saves a local copy of the file. | |
| So it's about getting them uploaded. | |
| What are your thoughts on lithium citrate? | |
| have never heard of that before. | |
| Things not to be worried about. | |
| Posting about your abortion. | |
| Oh my god. | |
| You're so right. | |
| The worse the thing is, the more you can post about it. | |
| Like the greater of a violation of moral law it is, the more it's protected speech. | |
| If somebody posts about their abortion, you're not allowed to discriminate against them if you're hiring. | |
| And I'm going to leave it at that. | |
| Was sorry, who are we talking about? | |
| I'm catching up with the comment. | |
| You guys are great comments. | |
| And yeah, it's not a vape. | |
| It's not a vape. | |
| I like myself better when I'm smoking. | |
| Was who put in a psycho ward that's from Public Frog? | |
| Isn't mental health counseling free in Canada? | |
| You ought to check it out, Leo. | |
| It could not hurt. | |
| don't really see how it could help yeah I don't really see how it could help Like, being sad over my dog is I miss my dog, man. | |
| She was a really good dog, and she really loved me. | |
| So, yeah, I don't... | |
| Where's the mental health there? | |
| The fact that I'm lonely, because, like, I've only got one friend that still lives in the city. | |
| And, you know, he's in the family way these days. | |
| So, yeah, he's a pretty busy guy. | |
| And I'm not allowed to go to bars to meet people. | |
| Economy's terrible. | |
| So, yeah, I'm lonely. | |
| That's an accurate assessment of the situation, isn't it? | |
| I don't see how talking to a counselor could help with that. | |
| And Mike points out it could do the exact opposite of that. | |
| Like, there'd be no real benefit from talking to a counselor, but they could really screw up my life. | |
| Time to move from Calgary? | |
| You know, man, I've been seriously thinking about that. | |
| The weather is fucking awful. | |
| The like good lord, it's like brown and gray here. | |
| City's never really done anything good for me. | |
| You know, like maybe, well, like, when I moved back to Calgary, what, five years back or so? | |
| Wait a minute. | |
| No, like three years. | |
| Whatever. | |
| When I moved back to Calgary, I was just trying to remember the events of my life and how long things. | |
| When I moved back to Calgary, I had my dog with me. | |
| So I couldn't get any work in the oil patch, right? | |
| Because, you know, you can't bring your dog with you up there. | |
| Not for most jobs. | |
| And now the oil patch has just been absolutely decimated. | |
| The federal government is just doing everything they can to crush the oil patch. | |
| None of the companies are investing right now because they know that the government is very hostile to them. | |
| The weather sucks. | |
| The nightlife sucks. | |
| There's not even a good place to go get a coffee in Calgary. | |
| Like back in Hamilton, my favorite thing to do was go to, there's this coffee shop down by Gore Park. | |
| You grab a coffee, sit on the patio, and just watch the world go by. | |
| You know? | |
| Watch people walking around, catching buses, just, you know, people watching. | |
| Not really anywhere like that in Calgary. | |
| It had kind of a like intense nightlife, right? | |
| Like a lot of cocaine in Calgary. | |
| Which I wasn't huge into, but, you know, every once in a while. | |
| But no, now that they've shut down bars, there's like nothing going on. | |
| So yeah, maybe it is time to move out of the city. | |
| Got a really cool landlord, though. | |
| And I don't know. | |
| Albertans are okay. | |
| Our provincial government is terrible. | |
| They call themselves conservative, but they just did the latest lockdown. | |
| Albertans are pretty okay for the most part. | |
| They're pretty common sense. | |
| pretty down-to-earth right-wing. | |
| You know I guess it's mainly it's a case of wear doesn't suck right now. | |
| Now, actually, yeah, Florida, they don't have any lockdowns. | |
| It's warm in their amenities, apparently. | |
| So that might be something. | |
| I need, I'm 40 years old. | |
| I need to figure out a career for myself. | |
| I mean, like, I gave the YouTube thing a good honest shot, right? | |
| And I was relatively successful at it. | |
| But then YouTube came and decided that, uh, no. | |
| No, you're not allowed to be successful anymore. | |
| quite frustrating. | |
| And who is Mad Ambila? | |
| Yeah, okay. | |
| Silimoon. | |
| I can't even tell what language that is. | |
| If drugs are kept illegal, I would prefer drug policy in schools that don't make people want to take more drugs. | |
| Man, you know, this is a the war on drugs. | |
| I was thinking about how the war on COVID and the war on drugs are basically the same thing. | |
| It's a war that you fundamentally can't win. | |
| And a war that the harder you fight it, the worse it gets. | |
| I mean, part of the reason that we have people dying of fentanyl, like my sister's ex-boyfriend, right? | |
| Part of the reason that guy's dead is because he couldn't buy loudenum or heroin that was safe to use. | |
| Instead, he was going for fentanyl, which is a completely unsafe. | |
| You know, they issue it in hospitals. | |
| The thing with fentanyl, as I understand it, is that it's so easy to screw up the dosage. | |
| Right? | |
| Part of the one of the interesting dangers with e-cigarettes, this hasn't come up yet. | |
| I wonder if it'll ever come up. | |
| You can very easily overdose on nicotine from the oil used in e-cigarettes. | |
| That hasn't happened yet. | |
| I mean, like, you're not going to do it yourself. | |
| Like, smoking a vape is not going to kill you. | |
| You might get a little bit loopy on nicotine, but you're not going to kill yourself. | |
| But if you take the oil for the e-cigarette, that's enough nicotine to kill you in there. | |
| Right? | |
| And it's, you know, it's like this much. | |
| This much lasts you like a month or two. | |
| But that's enough to kill you in one dose. | |
| And fentanyl is one of these drugs that if you screw up the dosage, it's very easy to kill yourself. | |
| That's why people are dying from it. | |
| War on drugs. | |
| For crying out loud. | |
| All the war on drugs does is make the drugs less safe. | |
| And, you know, supports organized crime. | |
| Organized crime needs. | |
| It needs a vehicle to make money. | |
| There are some U.S. states that are now going to require abortive babies to either be cremated or given a proper burial. | |
| No donating to science. | |
| That would be wonderful. | |
| Thank God. | |
| There's some clip going around from a daytime TV show where they're convincing the black dude that's the host to try this new skin cream and the secret ingredient? | |
| Baby's foreskins. | |
| Now that's not really the secret. | |
| That's the not-so-secret ingredient. | |
| There are the really expensive skin creams in America. | |
| Use four skins as part of the ingredients. | |
| Now, if you look into it, it's like what's that thing where you dilute something to the point where it only has one part per million and that cures you? | |
| The probably pseudoscience? | |
| Which my mother swears it's not. | |
| And she swears it works in her dogs, but man. | |
| Sounds like pseudoscience to me. | |
| So the skin creams that have the baby foreskin in it, you actually probably only have like one cell of foreskin for the entire bottle of skin cream. | |
| It's marketing buzz. | |
| But it just goes to show you how remarkably depraved and evil people are. | |
| You know, in centuries past, corpse medicine was a thing. | |
| There's a whole thing where they would create all these tinctures and powders and creams using the corpse of a person, and it was supposed to be healthy for you. | |
| That was a thing. | |
| And, you know, nowadays we have foreskins and abortive fetuses in medical products. | |
| what the hell is wrong with humanity? | |
| So like on the one hand, you know, like back in the day, surgeons weren't like desecrating a corpse was a thing. | |
| and so we had trouble training surgeons because they weren't allowed to use corpses for that. | |
| But we would use corpses for corpse medicine. | |
| I mean, listen, cutting up a cadaver creeps me out. | |
| It's really squick, right? | |
| Not my thing. | |
| But it makes really, really good sense. | |
| Donated organs creep the hell out of me. | |
| I mean, I'm not going to make any vows or anything, but if it was a choice between just dying and taking a donated organ, I might, I might. | |
| I unless if I had loved ones that really wanted me to kick around for a little bit longer, I just think I'd take the death. | |
| Having somebody else's organs inside of me just squicks me right out. | |
| But it makes sense, right? | |
| Like it's you're saving a life. | |
| I'm an organ donor, but I'm totally down for unnatural science that actually has demonstrable good to it, right? | |
| But how about we not desecrate baby corpses? | |
| Like, is that controversial opinion? | |
| I guess. | |
| Let's not desecrate corpses for stupid reasons. | |
| Let's not take baby foreskin. | |
| Like, what the hell is wrong with you? | |
| What in God's name is wrong with these women that want baby foreskin in their skin cream? | |
| I'm utterly disappointed with humanity. | |
| It's funny, like, I'm not a good person. | |
| believe me i got a front row seat for uh for who i am and then i look at the rest of humanity and i'm like good lord if this is humanity i'm a saint and i'm not a saint What the hell is wrong with people? | |
| Here's an idea. | |
| Don't mutilate a baby's genitals. | |
| Is just tossing it out there. | |
| Don't mutilate a baby's genitals and then put it into your health cream. | |
| I feel about Michigan as well, dark and cloudy year-round. | |
| Have you considered evergreen clickbait content like Thought like Thoughty 2? | |
| Yeah, that's okay, Thoughty 2. | |
| Um, you know, I did do some back in the day, like I did that review of Black Panther, which was clickbaity. | |
| I also think it's a waste of my time and a waste of your time. | |
| Black Panther was an app, like it was, it was a standard Marvel movie. | |
| And it was like everything wrong with your average Marvel movie was wrong with Black Panther. | |
| You know, you had the whole racial element, you know, the We Was Kangs thing. | |
| Like, the only reason you were Kangs is because a magic meteorite hit. | |
| So you're saying that the only way that you can be civilized is if magic happens. | |
| Is that what you're saying? | |
| Because that's what the movie's saying. | |
| But, I mean, like, what a pointless critique. | |
| It's really sad, but American blacks are the most obedient foot soldiers you could ever dream of. | |
| They hate the people that treat them well and love the people that treat them like garbage. | |
| And there's no getting through to them. | |
| trying to talk to them. | |
| Absolutely pointless. | |
| Why is your sister dating junkie? | |
| He wasn't a junkie. | |
| Like, for all I know, it was cocaine that had fentanyl in it. | |
| and actually I don't know any of the details he might have had because of the war on drugs if you have an injury from the hospital they won't give you opioids Not good ones, anyway. | |
| When I broke the hand, they gave me the most useless opioid in the world. | |
| I still have most of the pills because they don't do anything. | |
| And so, to deal with the pain, which was, I mean, I could have been a tough guy and just sat it out, but, you know, when you're in pain, it puts you in a bad mood. | |
| So to deal with the pain of the injury, I was drinking a lot of whiskey. | |
| Because the painkillers were garbage. | |
| I reject the notion that somebody doing illicit drugs is a junkie. | |
| Steve Jobs, I think, I think, maybe not him, but a lot of people in Silicon Valley microdose on LSD. | |
| Are they junkies? | |
| If one of them dies from fentanyl, I don't know how you do that, but that doesn't make them a junkie. | |
| So no, my sister does not date junkies, and she doesn't always made the best dating decisions. | |
| The guys you're seeing now is fantastic. | |
| But I see no reason to put that guy down. | |
| I have no indication that he was, you know, stealing all the family spoons to cook his whatever. | |
| Yeah, and homeopathy. | |
| That's the thing. | |
| So the baby foreskin in the skin cream is basically it's homeopathy. | |
| it's just evil homeopathy there was a there was a order of the stick comic where the the villain pulled out this healing bomb to restore hit points that like, the ingredients of virgin on her wedding night. | |
| And that's basically what this is. | |
| Right? | |
| Because, like, all right. | |
| Nerd time. | |
| If you think about the evil spells in the Ultima series, like, Ultima VII actually had a baby sacrifice. | |
| Like, you could find this cult building where they were, they sacrificed a baby. | |
| So, all this evil magic that you get in Dungeon Dragons, it's not actually, it's not like science, where sacrificing the virgin literally adds a healing element to the thing. | |
| No, no, it's that the demons infuse it with healing magic because you sacrificed a virgin. | |
| And isn't that the exact same thing with the skin cream? | |
| Right? | |
| It's like obviously one cell of foreskin does absolutely nothing. | |
| You're just putting it in there to be evil. | |
| And, you know, hey, maybe the demons do make it work better. | |
| They are creating a human-monkey hybrid embryo to create new organs. | |
| You know, and this is actually. | |
| I gotta. | |
| I'm not a big fan of animal testing. | |
| I'm really not a big fan of it because it's like it's one thing to eat an animal, it's another thing to just like to abuse it. | |
| And a lot of the animal testing that we do seems unnecessary and abusive. | |
| You know, think about that movie, Do the Evolution. | |
| Where one of the scenes they use is the monkey tied up and then the prisoner tied up in the electric chair, right? | |
| It's do we really gotta be doing this to monkeys? | |
| If we can back grow replacement organs, and that can save a lot of lives. | |
| Okay, that seems like a good idea. | |
| It seems weird, but that seems like a good idea. | |
| Do we really need to bring a sentient organism into existence just to harvest it? | |
| Doesn't feel right to me. | |
| Let alone a human-monkey hybrid, so it's not even a monkey. | |
| This thing is quite possibly sapient. | |
| I had um I had uh one of my old buddies worked in publishing, and his boss he'd written a novel, it was a little bit too on the nose. | |
| I always wanted to read it, though. | |
| I never got a chance to, but it was a novel where they took autistic children and harvested harvested them for orcans. | |
| And now he was a vegan, it was that's why I'm saying it's a little bit too on the nose. | |
| Or maybe they were eating the autistic children, I forget. | |
| But yeah, like you gotta have some standards, don't you? | |
| Oh, no, that's just me. | |
| That's just me. | |
| Right. | |
| We live in a society, and society doesn't have any standards whatsoever. | |
| Oh yeah, the immunosuppressants when you get an organ. | |
| Yeah, getting an organ is not quite the salvation that you might hope it is. | |
| Does your head feel more clear after giving up social media for lunch? | |
| That's an interesting question. | |
| I'll tell you one of the things. | |
| So, like, I'm back on social media now. | |
| I didn't really miss it. | |
| And now, going back to it. | |
| I don't really miss it. | |
| Yeah, social media is really not, it's not that social, is it? | |
| It's not that social, is it? | |
| I mean, the most interesting argument I've had on social media, or the most interesting experience I've had on social media recently was an argument over whether or not smoking was cool, right? | |
| Which wasn't, like, I don't even care. | |
| I just, like, bored and lonely so I'm arguing with people on the internet about it. | |
| And I don't think they cared either. | |
| It's like, none of us even cared about this fucking argument. | |
| We were just bored and lonely. | |
| And that argument did not really cure my boredom or my loneliness. | |
| So, yeah. | |
| Social media really ain't all that great, isn't it? | |
| I think it's become abundantly clear it's not a replacement for human interaction, which has now been banned. | |
| A movie review will only be interesting for a small time period. | |
| Evergreen content is valid for years. | |
| Decades. | |
| Okay, I see what you're saying. | |
| If you make videos like Thoughty2, they'll keep earning you money in 2031. | |
| And that's actually something I have been thinking about. | |
| You know, one of the things I've been thinking about doing is, is writing a, well, the title's already been stolen, but, uh, Brief History of Time. | |
| Because the other day, I was diving into UFOs and aliens and the Drake Equation, and it occurred to me that I don't actually properly know the history of the universe. | |
| You know, I like timelines. | |
| I like things laid out in a line so I can like visualize all of it. | |
| And so I've been digging into it since then. | |
| The universe is roughly 14 billion years old. | |
| And life has been on planet Earth for 4 billion years. | |
| So kind of what I'd like to do is come up with like a timeline explaining all of this. | |
| Maybe do another one for the known history of the human species. | |
| All right, starting with the end of the last Ice Age, go Bleki Tepe, which is the earliest construction we've ever found, doing a history of the, of the, what's his name, wait, like a history of religion, all of that, and And maybe just making like documentary videos on all of this stuff. | |
| Because the thing is, if it interests me, it probably interests somebody else. | |
| And the nice thing about that thoughty guy is that he mostly sticks with facts. | |
| I guess there is this new genre coming up on YouTube of factual discourse about anomalous events. | |
| And anomalous events are fascinating. | |
| Now, I'm getting more X. Quite a wide definition of what could constitute an anomaly. | |
| You know, funny enough, that actually isn't how I started YouTubing, isn't it? | |
| So, yeah, actually, that is something I am seriously considering. | |
| One thing I think I might like to do is a missing 411 of UFOs. | |
| See, the UFO community is very frustrating to me because it's so chock full of credulous people who just believe anything and everything. | |
| Take the Betty and Barney Hill abduction case, for example. | |
| Now, this is the classic UFO abduction. | |
| Missing time, recovered memories through hypnosis, etc. | |
| They even drew a star chart that was identified as a local star cluster. | |
| Except then it wasn't. | |
| Something happened to Barney and Betty Hill. | |
| Right? | |
| They had maybe a weird fugue moment, who knows? | |
| But when they first reported the aliens, the aliens had big Nixon noses on them. | |
| Something that was left out of later reports because it was just too silly. | |
| The star chart that they put is vague enough that it could be anything. | |
| Right? | |
| And what happened is there's a lady that was an astronomer and she basically she created a map of all the different M-type planets. | |
| All of the different stars that were could potentially have habitable planets on them. | |
| And she found a match. | |
| A rough match, because it was drawn on paper, right? | |
| And since then, science has advanced, and we now know that, like, her selection of stars, you would select different stars these days. | |
| And so she's come back and said, you know what? | |
| Nothing to that. | |
| I no longer endorse that chart I made. | |
| Like if you take five points and put them on a page, it's like five or seven points or something. | |
| That could be absolutely anything. | |
| But the UFO community, like, they buy into all of this stuff so deeply. | |
| But it seems to me there's also a skeptic community. | |
| Like there's, I mean, okay, so you got the UFO guys that believe in everything. | |
| You got the skeptics that think they're smarter than everybody and just piss on everything that comes out. | |
| But there's a big middle ground, I think. | |
| People that are open to anomalies. | |
| Open to data that does not fit the standard narrative and is interested in how can we incorporate this data. | |
| So, yeah, that is something I've been thinking about doing. | |
| Selective breeding. | |
| Wait, let me just check those other comments. | |
| Selective breeding for aesthetic purposes is pretty awful too. | |
| We've seriously messed up a lot of dog breeds. | |
| That's a fantastic point. | |
| It was interesting. | |
| Did you see that video where they domesticated foxes? | |
| So foxes are pretty close to being, I mean they're like playful wolves, right? | |
| So wolves are actually kind of dangerous. | |
| Foxes aren't dangerous. | |
| They're pretty close to being something that you could almost have a fox as a pet. | |
| But then they ran an experiment in Russia where they domesticated the foxes. | |
| And what wound up happening is they wound up looking like dogs. | |
| It's the craziest thing that when you select for pro-social pro-human behavior, you select against a lot of fox traits. | |
| So, yeah, that's pretty interesting. | |
| you are selective breeding, you don't know what you're going to get. | |
| You know, this is one of the, you know, to go back to COVID. | |
| The idea of programming RNA into our cells to create proteins, because supposedly that will keep us safe from a virus, yeah, really, really, really bad idea. | |
| Because you don't know, think of it like, think of it like trying to screw with a video game using assembly language. | |
| So normally when you create a mod for a video game, it's because the developer released mod tools. | |
| Imagine if you didn't have mod tools, right? | |
| Like we don't, whatever tool God made to make our DNA, we don't have that tool. | |
| We don't have that. | |
| So when you screw around with DNA, you got no idea what the fuck you're doing. | |
| So if you try and evolve foxes to be friendly, it works, but what you wind up with is not a fox anymore. | |
| It's a dog. | |
| Now, is that because your definition of friendly was like a dog? | |
| Maybe. | |
| Was it because there's something about dog nature that you've summoned up through the selective breeding? | |
| That's also possible. | |
| Good point. | |
| Imagine if you selectively bred tarantulas for a hundred generations and you wound up with something that was very close to a dog. | |
| Like that, like that does not actually seem that crazy to me. | |
| I mean, obviously, it still has eight legs and whatnot. | |
| But if you evolved tarantulas that were friendlier to humans, imagine if they became very dog-like in nature. | |
| let me take a quick bathroom break folks | |
| you know it's it's the principle of messing with complex systems Think about when you're messing with the traffic patterns of a city, right? | |
| And think about everything that goes into simulating the traffic patterns of a city. | |
| Like, you know the population levels and demographics of each neighborhood. | |
| So you can make an educated guess on to where those people want to drive every day. | |
| You can make an educated guess on cars breaking down, etc., etc. | |
| But they're all educated guesses, aren't they? | |
| And part of the real core of the system is the fact that you have intelligent agents responding to adapting and adapting to situations all the time. | |
| So I'm quite certain every so often they add an interchange and it does not result in the predicted behavior they thought it was going to result in. | |
| It's all educated guesses. | |
| Same thing when you're screwing around with DNA, whether through hard or soft eugenics, whether you're directly screwing with DNA, or if you're just encouraging certain breeding patterns, you don't always know what you're going to get. | |
| And the idea that we could just edit DNA directly. | |
| Now, there are some cases where it's warranted. | |
| Alright? | |
| There are some cases where there's a genetic illness, we know exactly what the genetic illness is, and if we can just recode that DNA, it will end the genetic illness. | |
| That's one thing. | |
| It's another thing to say that, generally speaking, we want more high IQ people to be having children. | |
| That's a pretty safe bet. | |
| That's a pretty safe bet. | |
| But when you start screwing around with things willy-nilly, in particular, when you do it with no control group, because that's the real issue with modern science, is it screws around with something. | |
| It doesn't have a control group. | |
| So we don't know how things would have turned out otherwise. | |
| And so however things turn out, they call it a success. | |
| You know, that great David Firth video, take this pill. | |
| Take this pill. | |
| Did it work? | |
| No. | |
| Success. | |
| Did the new one work? | |
| Yes. | |
| Success! | |
| Because they can't be wrong. | |
| If they can't be wrong, it might imply that they need to be a bit more humble. | |
| Matty says, I was watching some YouTube videos about novice nuns, and it was the atheists that seemed to be the most supportive. | |
| They admired their commitment to their faith. | |
| That's interesting. | |
| And I would say, you know, don't dismiss somebody because they're atheists, because I don't know. | |
| It's like I'm still trying to figure out my heuristic for people. | |
| Which people do I trust? | |
| Which people don't I trust? | |
| And having my back and not panicking. | |
| Those seems to be two pretty good ones. | |
| I don't know. | |
| That's the thing. | |
| If there's an atheist that's supporting nuns, that atheist is probably a pretty good guy. | |
| Whereas there are plenty of people in the church that just want to rule a lawyer, other people. | |
| There's a case, I barely know this guy. | |
| Anyway, some guy is just getting attacked all over Catholic Twitter. | |
| he did a public confession of things but me knowing people the public confession won't be enough they're going to keep that if he were my friend i would have said don't do the public confession Go confess to the priest if there's something to confess to. | |
| But the people that love you already love you. | |
| And like either, man, either you love God or you don't love God. | |
| If you love God and you're making a genuine effort, then he'll see that. | |
| If you don't, you don't. | |
| it's not really any of my business but you confess in public if you... | |
| why don't you put it like this? | |
| Do you guys do any of you guys want an apology from somebody that wounded you in the past? | |
| Right, like go back to high school. | |
| Somebody that picked on you in high school. | |
| Is there somebody that they picked on you so bad that you're still waiting around for them to apologize to you? | |
| I mean, probably not. | |
| Who gives a shit? | |
| Right? | |
| Bad shit happened to you. | |
| And now you've got to move forward with part of you missing. | |
| And their apology ain't going to change that. | |
| Hopefully they mended their ways. | |
| But who needs an apology? | |
| And if there's somebody that's disobeying the faith, disobeying dogma, whatever, I want them to stop doing that so that they live a better life. | |
| Not because I need some sort of ego validation. | |
| The people that actually care about you actually care about you, and they just want you to do well. | |
| They want you to stop screwing up your own life. | |
| The people that want to catch you doing things wrong will never be happy for you, no matter what you do. | |
| No one accurately knows the history of the universe. | |
| It may very well be eternal and limitless. | |
| True. | |
| but we do have some good ideas and when it comes to the drake equation knowing that the universe is 14 billion years old and that life has been around for four billion years on planet earth that gives you that answers a lot of the drake equation Now, my next question would be: Because when the universe began, there was nothing but hydrogen, as I understand it. | |
| For the most part, nothing but hydrogen. | |
| And you needed to get neutron stars to form the heavier elements. | |
| So even the possibility of life. | |
| There was no possibility of life for a very long time until rocky worlds started becoming common. | |
| So if you're considering the Drake equation, where are the aliens? | |
| And then you add in the light cone. | |
| It could be that life doesn't start forming until about 10 billion years in. | |
| But I need to look more into this. | |
| Most of the people talking about this get really heavy into mathematics, and so it becomes pretty confusing pretty darn fast. | |
| And I'm thinking that there'd be a way to make a series about this for my own sake, because I want to understand it, but then translate that into something readily understood by everybody else. | |
| And it would be not as accurate as the mathematics, but it'd be interesting, I think. | |
| there's a youtube channel just for ancient battles that does very well half the stuff you pull up when you search for ufos or paranormal it's just it's out of movies or whatever yeah Yeah, or it's, yeah, maybe there's a role in the world for somebody that does missing 411 for UFOs and other anomalies. | |
| Why do I feel like we are getting closer to the the science version of the Tower of Babel? | |
| Oh goodness. | |
| Goodness, goodness, goodness. | |
| Society is tearing apart at the seams. | |
| The whole thread is becoming unwound. | |
| And Maddie says, and hey, good for you for saying this. | |
| I hate to say it, but there are some people I'd love to apologize to in school that I treated very poorly. | |
| Hmm. | |
| I thought you were going to say people that trade you poorly. | |
| I mean, you probably shouldn't. | |
| Here's the problem is. | |
| Here's the thing. | |
| If you apologize to somebody in your real life, you know what you did, and you know why you did it, and they know what you did, and they know why you did it, and you know who they are, and they know who you are, you can communicate with them, right? | |
| Whereas if you go up to, like, somebody from 20 years ago, and you know what? | |
| Yeah, there's people I want to apologize to in high school. | |
| But 20 years later, I don't know who the fuck this person is. | |
| I don't know where they are in life. | |
| And so, on the one hand, apologizing would be really, really condescending. | |
| And chances are, like, chances are they might still be a little bit angry about it. | |
| And so me apologizing to them comes from, like, it comes across with this big man thing. | |
| Like, oh, I'm such a big man, I can apologize to you. | |
| It's like, no, fuck you, buddy. | |
| Fuck you. | |
| You were a real dick to me and you made... | |
| D-d-d-d-d-d. | |
| On the other hand... | |
| If you go and apologize, I'm sorry I bullied you. | |
| I was actually jealous because you had better hair than me. | |
| Like, that just seems so disingenuine, right? | |
| Like, if you apologize to an actual, like, person in your life, you're saying, like, you know, I was out of line the other night, I was... | |
| I was X, Y, and Z. | |
| And you don't deserve that from me. | |
| You've been very good to me, and I want to apologize. | |
| And then they can understand the whole thing. | |
| Whereas with the high school, it's like you're just wandering into something that you don't even know what you're dealing with. | |
| you don't even know what you're dealing with. | |
| Hard thing to do, isn't it? | |
| We've been going for about three hours now. | |
| There's any other uh comments and whatnot? | |
| love to address them if you make a video debunking and shitting all over the Barney Betty Hill story it's gonna be a lot of outrage clicks and traffic That is man on the list of bullshit ufos. | |
| That's at the top of the list, dude. | |
| I need to do first, though. | |
| need to find some ufos that are actually interesting and plausible because there are some actually there are some ufos that are interesting and plausible with eyewitnesses that anyway But Barney and Betty Hill is not one of them. | |
| That one's absolute trash. | |
| Anyway, that said, yeah, I think we've been going long enough now. | |
| It's funny. | |
| You know what? | |
| I think we're all just keeping one another company because of this stupid fucking lockdown. | |
| I said a year ago I was going to stream until the lockdowns were done, then I was going to quit. | |
| And it's like the lockdowns never quit, did they? | |
| Pascagoula seems legit. | |
| You know, the Angel Hair one in Portugal, that's another really, really weird one. | |
| We even have, like, we even have photographs of it. | |
| So there are weird things that happen. | |
| There's the other one in the United States. | |
| This gelatin started raining down on the city multiple times and people got sick from it. | |
| And this is all dog news. | |
| This was reported on the news. | |
| Now that one's been pretty heavily covered. | |
| What everyone thinks happened is they were experimenting with a bacteria to promote crops, like a bacteria that would kill pests or something like that. | |
| And it made people sick. | |
| So they were recklessly experimenting upon the American public. | |
| yet. | |
| Again. | |
| So that's a... | |
| There are legitimate ones to all of this. | |
| And, you know, that one has a fairly prosaic explanation. | |
| We think. | |
| We don't know. | |
| We think. | |
| We've got the Angel Hair one, which is deeply mysterious. | |
| And it's also connected with people seeing flying saucers and like multiple people. | |
| Right? | |
| The same people that, like, the same professor that gathered the angel hair afterwards. | |
| It was, and saw some sort of organism, was one of the people that saw the UFOs. | |
| And so this isn't. | |
| Right, like, this is one that's pretty believable. | |
| Like, a lot of people saw the UFOs, and then we discovered a very, very strange organism. | |
| And you can still find pictures of this stupid thing. | |
| Now, they're not the best photos. | |
| It was in the 50s that this happened. | |
| And the place where all the evidence was kept burned down in the 70s. | |
| But yeah, something fucking happened. | |
| Something happened. | |
| People saw UFOs. | |
| And a weird organism rained down from the sky. | |
| That definitely happened. | |
| Mike says, I've heard of many weird rain stories. | |
| jelly-like things angel hair like you mentioned yeah and some of them like we've got they absolutely happened You've got dozens of witnesses. | |
| It's not like, you know, a guy sees something weird and an alien gives him an alien coin, but then he loses the alien coin by accident. | |
| A lot of these are very weird. | |
| Common denominator is that the samples take and disappear after a few days or earlier. | |
| Well, and not all of them, though. | |
| not all of them disappear. | |
| And given that we do have some where they didn't disappear, it's about weighing the probabilities, isn't it? | |
| Like, there's one cryptid slash alien slash UFO that is, it's abundantly clear that it's a barn owl. | |
| It was a barn owl sitting on a branch at about head height with a bush underneath of it. | |
| And people got all worked up and they thought they were looking at an alien. | |
| Right? | |
| And then when they drew the alien, it's like, that's a barn owl sitting on a branch above a bush. | |
| That's absolutely evident. | |
| I mean, like, crop circles are another thing that... | |
| Is there... | |
| Is there anything to crop circles? | |
| I... | |
| I don't think there is. | |
| Like, we even know the guys that make them, right? | |
| They do it as a prank. | |
| And maybe there's real crop circles. | |
| I haven't seen any. | |
| The thing is that same with missing 411. | |
| When you dig into Missing 411, what's... | |
| Okay, what I find really interesting about Missing 411 is fugue states. | |
| there's one missing 411 about a guy he was a filmographer and he was he had this gig to go do film and they're doing it in the woods And out of nowhere, like when they were almost done filming, he took off his radio, dropped his equipment, and just started running into the woods. | |
| And, you know, they pursued him, but they couldn't catch him, and he was never found again. | |
| And his behavior doesn't make any sense. | |
| Like, he wasn't super enthused about going to do this thing, but he wasn't depressed or suicidal or anything like that. | |
| And it's like he really went into a fugue state. | |
| And if you've, quite frankly, who hasn't been in some sort of something close to a fugue state? | |
| I mean, okay, like, put it really simply. | |
| Who hasn't been drunk and worked up about something? | |
| Yeah, leave it at that. | |
| Leave it at that. | |
| Don't want to get into too much trouble. | |
| Like, we've all experienced altered states of consciousness. | |
| And part of the reason, at least the reason I love going to the woods. | |
| It's so funny. | |
| You walk 10 meters off the road into the woods. | |
| And it's a whole different world. | |
| When you go 10 meters into the woods, it's like none of the rules apply. | |
| None of society's rules apply anymore. | |
| One of the things I would really like to do is go on a several day hiking expedition by myself. | |
| And just because in the woods, there's no fucking rules. | |
| And it seems like, it seems like every once in a while, like the guy that ran into the woods. | |
| And by the way, I looked up the original newspaper articles on this. | |
| This is 100% legit. | |
| Like, I mean, the alternative hypothesis is that he was on a film set and everybody involved in making this movie decided to murder him and lie about it. | |
| That's the only other alternative. | |
| But, you know, we've all been in altered states of consciousness. | |
| We've all seen ourselves do things that we wouldn't normally do. | |
| I mean, even just making love. | |
| Making love with a woman. | |
| Sex is disgusting. | |
| Who would do that in their right mind? | |
| You gotta get all worked up to do something like that. | |
| So it does seem that there are fugue states that can get triggered by the wilderness. | |
| You know, a lot of the missing 411s are kids that wander off. | |
| And do you remember being at that stage of early consciousness? | |
| Like when you're younger than five, you're not really conscious. | |
| And by the age of 14, you're pretty much focused on social reality. | |
| But between five and fourteen, there's this era where, like, anything is possible. | |
| And yet at the same time, you still don't really understand the physical and social consequences of doing things. | |
| And a lot of the missing 411s are kids in that category. | |
| Yeah, I had to... | |
| For some reason, back when I was growing up in Airdrie, Alberta, back in like late high school when we were all getting drunk for the first time, even though we were all underage, my buddy was usually the safety. | |
| See, we always had a safety when we were drinking. | |
| Like one guy would stay sober to make sure stuff didn't get too out of hand. | |
| And he commented me once that people that are drunk always want to run for some reason. | |
| Now, that's not my experience. | |
| I want to sit on my ass when I'm drunk. | |
| Never understood people that drink at work, like when I, the rare time I've had a beer at lunch, it's like, yeah, fuck it, I'm done for the day. | |
| I just want to sit on my ass and drink more beer. | |
| But his experience was that back when we were like 16, 17, people that got drunk wanted to run. | |
| For some damn fool reason. | |
| And you know, that right there, could that be that early fugue state triggered by the alcohol? | |
| Is it impossible that for whatever reason, some minds they get into the woods, there's no rules, everything's chaotic, and they just want to run. | |
| And they run and run and run. | |
| There's another case. | |
| There's a girl that one day she got up, and instead of taking her car to go to university, she drove until it ran out of gas, then got out of it and walked into the woods. | |
| They actually found her alive. | |
| They found her three days later, and she was a bit dehydrated, a bit um bit hungry. | |
| They found her and she didn't remember any of it. | |
| She thought she'd only been out for a day. | |
| It'd been three days that she'd been in the woods, just wandering. | |
| So, yeah, fugue states are something that happened. | |
| And that's part of the interesting thing about 411. | |
| So, missing 411, fugue state is a very plausible hypothesis for a lot of these situations. | |
| But not all of them. | |
| I guess that's the important thing to remember with anomalies. | |
| Is that sometimes people just do weird shit? | |
| And the weird shit explanation actually explains most anomalies, you know? | |
| Like, you see a light in the sky? | |
| Goodness gracious. | |
| I had a old friend that once said, I saw a UFO the other night. | |
| Uh-huh. | |
| And I looked online, and people in Edmonton saw it too. | |
| So. | |
| So you saw a light in the sky that you couldn't identify, and other people on an internet forum couldn't identify it either. | |
| I believe you that you saw a light. | |
| just don't think it was aliens. | |
| I remember a story about a man in a field falling down into a hole that wasn't there while people watched. | |
| Disappeared forever. | |
| Ooh, whoa, that's a that's that's some creepypasta right there. | |
| Sounds like a love crafty and fear of the unknown story minus the tentacles. | |
| Well, and that's you know, that's the part of the reason I like Peterson, man. | |
| You know, I re-watched who's that guy? | |
| He's got the the wolf carrying the cross for his Twitter avatar. | |
| He's a good guy, and he really just likes Peterson and his I rewatched his critique of Peterson And what it boils down to is that Peterson is actually a liberal He's just not a toxic liberal. | |
| Peterson is really bang on when he talks about us being full of snakes and bees. | |
| One of the things I always loved growing up was the shadow. | |
| Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of man? | |
| the shadow knows, there is such pure screaming insanity in our hearts. | |
| Civilization is such an achievement. | |
| And this is. | |
| Let's go back to the Kingsmen. | |
| Why does James Bond wear a suit? | |
| Why does anybody wear a suit? | |
| The reason Bond wears a suit is because the suit is an assertion of order. | |
| James Bond might kill, but he doesn't kill at random. | |
| He doesn't run up and down the street murdering strangers and torturing animals. | |
| The secret agent in the tuxedo. | |
| He lies, but he only lies for a specific reason. | |
| He uses violence, but he uses violence for a specific reason within controlled circumstances. | |
| And unlike Django. | |
| See, Django, he goes and gets murderous revenge when he's permitted to. | |
| When his owner tells him you're allowed to go get revenge, he goes and does that. | |
| James Bond might be a secret agent in Her Majesty's Secret Service, but he also has a license to kill. | |
| Meaning that James Bond can kill anybody. | |
| No questions asked. | |
| Janko can't. | |
| Django is told whom he is allowed to kill. | |
| And when he kills that person, he can be an absolute animal. | |
| It's like that song, Y'all Gonna Make Me Lose My Mind. | |
| Django glorifies in being an animal. | |
| An animal with a collar around his neck. | |
| James Bond is the opposite. | |
| James Bond is a man who is so civilized that he is exempt from the law. | |
| Bond, we've been looking at you, and you are such an exemplary of civilized behavior that you are now above the law because we know you won't break the law. | |
| You don't need the law holding you back anymore. | |
| And that's something that Kingsman touches on. | |
| It's not didactic in its morality. | |
| Like, the number of quotes about morality in the movie, like maybe 400 words. | |
| But it is wonderful morality. | |
| It is just absolutely fantastic. | |
| And it explains why a secret agent wears a suit. | |
| Because that's what a civilized man does. | |
| And, yeah, and Lovecraftian fear. | |
| Lovecraft? | |
| It's the opposite of James Bond, isn't it? | |
| James Bond is a man who is so hyper-civilized. | |
| And to a ridiculous degree as well, to an inhuman degree. | |
| Like, he knows which spoon to use to eat the, you know, at each part of the banquet. | |
| He knows how to play every single game of poker out there. | |
| He knows how to match his shoes in his belt. | |
| He is hyper-civilized and utterly in control. | |
| He is the pinnacle of masculine order. | |
| While Lovecraft is the pinnacle of chaos, it's the ultimate critique of order. | |
| You know, In the Mountains of Madness, that's the, if I recall correctly, that's the story about the man that goes past the mountains in the Arctic and discovers an alien race that is utterly different from our own. | |
| And this is one of the stories that might have translated most poorly. | |
| Because these days we are all about the science fiction. | |
| What's that book? | |
| The Moat in God's Eye. | |
| Moat in God's Eye is basically about meeting an alien species completely unlike us. | |
| And how the hell do we deal with that? | |
| How can we judge the moat in our brother's eye when we have a plank in our own? | |
| Fantastic story. | |
| really need to read the mode in god's eye and so in the mountains of madness might not translate very well because as weird and creepy as these aliens are i mean couldn't we open up trade with them? | |
| So this was something that probably made more sense. | |
| In see, to get the same feel as In the Mountains of Madness, you need the xenomorph. | |
| Alien species that literally reproduces by raping us and is hyper-intelligent but does not reason. | |
| Whereas these aliens, they have language and history and all of that. | |
| So it doesn't translate well. | |
| But what the story is getting at is that the existence of these aliens throws into question all of our assumptions about civilization. | |
| See, if you go back to the adventure stories, the adventure stories of exploring Africa, about building railroads, about how British officers doesn't matter whether or not they're having an artillery bombardment, they would have tea at 2 p.m. | |
| Because that's what civilized men do. | |
| This grand order that European man placed upon the world. | |
| Time zones, railways, tea at 2. | |
| On the dot. | |
| Artillery be damned. | |
| the aliens in Mountains of Madness. | |
| All nonsense, we don't even care. | |
| And that's the fundamental chaos. | |
| So, you know, Cthulhu, the crazy subterranean beast, might be the most visceral form of Lovecraftian horror, but the true horror is that all of our order, all of our attempts to regularize the universe are foundationally impossible because inside of us, snakes. | |
| Something that can't be understood. | |
| Supernatural force creature lurking in the woods. | |
| Well, and that's the really interesting thing: that the supernatural creature is actually inside of us. | |
| That's the truly terrifying thing. | |
| I wonder. | |
| I wonder at times. | |
| How many people think they're civilized? | |
| I think a lot of people actually do believe that they are civilized. | |
| And maybe that's a good belief to have. | |
| maybe that belief actually makes them civilized so the same as the belief in mathematics I once tried to explain Gördel's incompleteness theorem to an engineer. | |
| Completely failed to understand it. | |
| because he really believes mathematics are true. | |
| Maybe we are trying to return to the Garden of Eden. | |
| You know that golden ratio that if a person gets close to that ratio, they're considered more attractive? | |
| I think they are the faces of Adam and Eve. | |
| I saw a. | |
| What was it? | |
| It was. | |
| They took the, they created the average face of every country, like it took the men and the women and it it just averaged out the faces to a generic face for that country and for that ethnicity. | |
| And what was very striking was just how good looking all of these faces were. | |
| That the platonic form of beauty. | |
| But also interestingly, this was comparing countries across continents, so you had, like Switzerland and India and China, and the average face. | |
| The average faces looked more like one another than the continents did. | |
| Even skin color. | |
| That was actually the really shocking thing, because skin color is one of the first things that jumps up, jumps out to us about a person and the skin color. | |
| It was so gradient. | |
| It was so gradient between the countries. | |
| Let's see. | |
| So Leniel says Vox Day. | |
| I think you're. | |
| I wasn't talking about Vox Day. | |
| Which? | |
| Who did you think I was talking about? | |
| What did I say that you were thought I was talking about Vox Day. | |
| And Theodore Beale is his real name, which he's open it and I'm not doxing him or anything like that. | |
| Mike thank you very much for joining that's been a good show like honestly geez man I got 16 viewers this is the most viewers I've had in like since I got kicked off of YouTube I know like I used to have a hundred viewers live and a thousand viewers afterwards on YouTube right so 16 is nothing I'm just kind of holy shit people are actually watching tonight don't know where y'all came from | |
| please do me a favor and subscribe if I get to 200 subscribers that I get superpowers or something like that I'm gonna top off this ice and I am gonna end the live stream when I'm out of whiskey | |
| I guess all of you are here. | |
| Shit, man. | |
| We are just fucking lonely. | |
| How much more fun would this be if we were at a pub right now? | |
| Just listen to, uh, Uncle Irini tell ghost stories. | |
| You know, I'll tell you a difference in my perspective on things. | |
| And, you know, I don't know how much of this is just getting older. | |
| Or how much of this is real, or whatever. | |
| But you know, four years back... | |
| Four years back, and that whole build-up to getting Donald Trump elected. | |
| Didn't we all feel like we were a part of something? | |
| Like we were fighting the good fight? | |
| Like something was going on? | |
| You know, I feel like uh I'm gonna read you a quote from Hunter Thompson. | |
| Let me find it. | |
| The Wave. | |
| Hunter Thompson. | |
| Strange memories on this nervous night in Las Vegas. | |
| Five years later? | |
| Six? | |
| It seems like a lifetime, or at least, a main era. | |
| The kind of peak that never comes again. | |
| San Francisco in the middle 60s was a very special time and place to be a part of. | |
| Maybe it meant something. | |
| Maybe not, in the long run, but no explanation. | |
| No mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you are there and alive in that corner of time and the world. | |
| Whatever it meant. | |
| History is hard to know, because of all the hired bullshit. | |
| But even without being sure of history, it seems entirely reasonable to think that every now and then, the energy of a whole generation comes to a head in a long, fine flash. | |
| For reasons that nobody really understands at the time. | |
| And which never explained, in retrospect, what actually happened. | |
| My central memory of that time seems to hang on one or five or maybe 40 nights. | |
| Or very early mornings. | |
| When I left the Fillmore, half crazy and, instead of going home, aimed the big 650 Lightning, his motorcycle, and crossed the Bay Bridge at 100 miles an hour, wearing LL Bean shorts and a Butte Shepherd's jacket. | |
| Booming through the Treasure Island Tunnel at the lights of Oakland and Berkeley and Richmond. | |
| Not quite sure which turn off to take when I got to the other end. | |
| Always stalling at the toll gate, too twisted to find neutral while I fumbled for change. | |
| But being absolutely certain that no matter which way I went, I would come to a place where people were just as high and wild as I was. | |
| No doubt at all about that. | |
| There was a madness in any direction, at any hour. | |
| If not across the bay, then up the Golden Gate, or down 101 to Los Altos or La Honda. | |
| You could strike sparks anywhere. | |
| There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right and that we were winning. | |
| And that, I think, was the handle. | |
| That sense of inevitable victory over the forces of old and evil. | |
| Not in any mean or military sense. | |
| We didn't need that. | |
| Our energy would simply prevail. | |
| There's no point in fighting on our side or theirs. | |
| We had all the momentum. | |
| We were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. | |
| So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look west. | |
| And with the right kind of eyes, you can almost see the high watermark. | |
| That place where the wave finally broke and rolled back. | |
| I don't know about you, but that's that's how I really feel about the Trump presidency. | |
| That high watermark, Trump, Brexit. | |
| Like we finally achieved something. | |
| And then the wave rolled back. | |
| And so now I'm not live streaming to try and end the COVID hysteria. | |
| I've got no idea how to end this shit. | |
| I'm just live streaming. | |
| Just chatting with you folks. | |
| And you know, sometimes I miss it. | |
| I miss that we seem to be doing something. | |
| We seemed to be doing something back then, didn't we? | |
| Seemed like we were fighting a war. | |
| A war of ideas, of reason, of logic. | |
| And then all that insight. | |
| The same as the drug high of the late 60s rolled back into being nothing but a bunch of guys grasping around trying to get laid. | |
| And whatever the hell energy that was five years back, that's rolled back into people grasping for one last sliver of narcissism. | |
| And sometimes I miss it. | |
| But mostly I'm glad that's gone. | |
| I don't know, is that just me or to... | |
| Good lord, everybody gets what they ask for, don't they? | |
| We all get what we ask for 2014 and 2015 through 2020 felt like there was some sort of struggle against the powers that be. | |
| Now it feels everyone's adrift, realizing that things are not going to change for the better. | |
| Yeah. | |
| You know, it's common and banal to shit on the boomers these days. | |
| Because the boomers. | |
| That's the thing. | |
| Is to look back at fear and loathing in Las Vegas. | |
| You should read that book. | |
| You should watch that movie. | |
| That's where that speech is from. | |
| I think the like the movie, the imagery they use in the movie is fantastic. | |
| And yeah, 2014 to 2020. | |
| That was our 1969. | |
| And I don't think 1969 was as empty and vapid as we make it out to be. | |
| Just really, really feels like the energy was rising and then it washed away. | |
| And Trump really feels like the same thing, doesn't it? | |
| It's like we were so... | |
| One of the things that sticks with me is racism. | |
| I mean, what an awful word that is. | |
| How awful are the people that invented that word? | |
| And it's like in 2015, we almost broke that word. | |
| We almost got to a point where you could express opinions and make observations without being a hateful bigot. | |
| that we could make America great again. | |
| But then it rolled back the same way the 60s turned into the 70s. | |
| What was the 70s? | |
| And so we went from almost destroying the word racism to rolling back on it. | |
| And everything is twice as racist as it was before. | |
| Man, nothing divides people more than that fucking word. | |
| Nothing just really rips people apart, puts them in ideological camps. | |
| Good lord, we are living in the Kali Yuga, aren't we? | |
| You know, maybe that's part of it. | |
| Maybe. | |
| You know, um, what's that game? | |
| We happy few? | |
| Fantastic game. | |
| Well, maybe not fantastic. | |
| It's got major, major flaws with it, but it's a game worth playing. | |
| One of the game mechanics is taking your joy pills. | |
| And when you take joy, the whole world turns like happy music starts playing. | |
| The whole world is just glorious and beautiful. | |
| And then when you get off of joy, the whole world is like there's flies everywhere. | |
| is brown and gray and disgusting and maybe that's part of what's happening We're coming down off the high. | |
| Civilizationally. | |
| The same way, like the high of the 60s, culminating in 1969, results in that massive hangover of the 70s. | |
| See when you do a drug what you're basically doing is you're adding some extra to tomorrow to today Most extreme example of this is ecstasy, where you're burning out all your serotonin in one hot flash, and then for a while you got no serotonin. | |
| But you know, like alcohol, they're all the same thing. | |
| Like alcohol, you get all worked up on the alcohol, and everything is super interesting and intense while you're on the alcohol. | |
| And then the next day, everything is drab and way too bright. | |
| That's what the 70s were after the 60s. | |
| In fact, oh, let's extend this metaphor a little bit. | |
| Shit, we've still got 18 viewers, so might as well keep going. | |
| So, 2015, we were all fighting for something, right? | |
| We all had this really important thing that we were all doing. | |
| And now 2021. | |
| Well, like, what's going on right now? | |
| People are absolutely freaking out about a non-existent virus. | |
| We did the man, it's like society is constantly like, either the left or the right is in charge, right? | |
| it's like one side is the resistance the other side is the holy army and so we have the right wing in charge right Trying to make America great again, trying to, like, whatever the hell we were doing. | |
| We were doing this big, important thing. | |
| The red pill went mainstream. | |
| And then we did a face heel turn. | |
| Now we got the Democrats in charge. | |
| So, like, the Trump administration, the Democrats were like, oh no, there is white supremacy and Nazis under every pillow. | |
| And so now they're in charge. | |
| And they're running around. | |
| They're looking for a cause. | |
| Like, the whole COVID thing. | |
| It's like junkies looking for one more hit. | |
| The difference between a junkie and a user is that the user understands the drug has consequences. | |
| If you drink whiskey, you will be hungover the next day. | |
| You're going to feel awful the next day, and that's the price of the ticket. | |
| Deferred awfulness. | |
| Man, imagine if they invented a whiskey where you felt awful for a day, but then you felt wonderful the next day. | |
| We would all do that drug Thursday night. | |
| At least I would. | |
| And so the user wakes up from things. | |
| Wakes up the next day with a headache and everything's a mess and the apartment's too bright and says, well, this is the price of me doing whiskey. | |
| I will suffer through this and be back on my feet by Monday. | |
| The junkie looks around for more whiskey. | |
| And that's kind of what COVID is. | |
| In 2015, we had these battles to fight. | |
| We had MAGA and we had white supremacy. | |
| And they were put all your energy to fighting these battles. | |
| But now, 2020, 2021, like there's no battles to fight. | |
| Like, literally, our biggest battle is don't start a war with Russia. | |
| And so the junkies are looking around. | |
| The junkies on the right have gone full queue on. | |
| I think it's pretty safe to say QAnon is about as useless as trying to talk to dolphins. | |
| The left is freaking out over COVID. | |
| So, interesting time to be alive. | |
| No, it's not. | |
| It's a terrible time to be alive. | |
| But if you play your cards right, you can be the guy with a mustache and a hot tub and a lot of blow. | |
| So, you know, that's something worth considering. | |
| Anyway, we've been going for far too long. | |
| Wait, we're back to 16 followers again? | |
| We've been going for far too long. | |
| I'm almost out of whiskey, and I'm not seeing any new comments. | |
| So, guys, thank you very much for tuning in. | |
| Hope you had some fun tonight. | |
| And I think I'm on to something with that wave speech. | |
| It's 1975 right now. | |
| And if it's 1975 right now, that means we're only five years off from 1980. | |
| The social buildup is already happening. | |
| The energy is starting to come again. | |
| See, 1980, that ain't about politics. | |
| 1980 is about DeLoreans and blow and really good-looking suits. | |
| So, if we can, if you can survive the next five years, I don't know what 2025 is going to look like. | |
| I'm kind of optimistic that the vape technology will be employed with other drugs. | |
| Now there's all sorts of different ways to get high, but yeah, fuck it. | |
| DeLoreans are cool. | |
| Leisure suits are cool. | |
| I think that's coming back. | |
| So, something to look forward to. | |
| Just survive the next few years, okay? | |
| You survive the past five, you can survive the next five years. | |
| Anyway, with all that said, Carpe Futurum et tene tratitum. | |
| Thank you, thank you for the lemons, by the way. | |
| Thank you for watching. | |
| Send me some Bitcoin. | |
| Please like, comment, subscribe, all that good stuff. | |
| And keep your shit together. | |
| Take all your shit, put it in one place, wrap it up, keep it together. | |
| Make it to the other side of 2025. | |
| I think things might start sucking a lot less when that happens. |
