20210521 Trust No One

During fat times, acquaintances are a fine thing. But with the lean times we're entering - not just economically, but politically and culturally - associating with people who aren't on board with survival and loyalty can be fatal. Be careful whom you trust in your circles, because many of them will sell you out at the first opportunity.

	Well, good evening folks.
	Welcome to the live stream.
	Gonna get this device rebooted.
	We're not even gonna bother.
	We're just gonna go straight to the reboot or the power on, I guess.
	Good thing I plugged it in a couple hours ago, ain't it?
	So how are you folks doing out there?
	Another lovely week in the foul year of our Lord 2021 And yeah, sort of I'm afraid I'm afraid we are gonna be talking a little bit about all that COVID nonsense, but um and hopefully nothing too dour for all of y'all don't want to be be nagging you out on all of it
	I think I think I need to reform this fedora I think the brim needs to go a little bit lower.
	Yeah, I had somebody on Twitter say, you are wearing a literal fedora.
	My friend and I just had to respond now no, you're mistaken.
	This is a figurative, figurative fedora.
	This is an allegorical fedora because in a certain sense, aren't we all the fedora?
	But this person didn't have a good understanding of literary theory.
	They thought 4th edition's Dungeon Of Dragons was really really good.
	So yes, we are here with the allegorical fedora, with another live stream that I'm about to load up and make sure it's actually broadcasting at all of y'all.
	some apps detect gravity others do not Man, can you imagine trying to use one of these things in zero G?
	It'd just be flipping up inside and down all the time every time the Mercury switch got a little bit confused you'd have to do is you'd have to hold on to it and get somebody to spin you in the ball while you went into settings and disabled it.
	That's what you'd have to do.
	So for any of you people in the future wondering how you get the tablets the old school earth tablets to work, that's what you do, just get them to spin you in the ball, then disable it all.
	Right, my channel yes, yes.
	By the way, this is now a mature channel.
	Which dude I'm streaming right now.
	You know that.
	Why are you messaging me?
	oh my god yeah just crawl to a grind and halt like every pixel of the animation is loading
	yes yeah leave that in the comments man yes this is now a mature stream because I smoke and good lord you don't want to see the little kitties you don't want them seeing the cigarettes do you ah that feels good
	Wait, it'll respond like close close the spot Facebook man Facebook, it's the Did my tablet just crash It just crashed because of Facebook Messenger.
	Or did it?
	Well, what are you doing?
	What are you doing, tablet?
	Yes, I know.
	Stop messaging me on Facebook Messenger.
	It's crashing my tablet, my friend.
	She really just didn't uninstall the thing from here.
	It's so convenient.
	So convenient.
	But yeah, we are now a mature stream because smoking.
	Don't want any children seeing that.
	Any impressionable children that find out that smoking boosts your IQ cue, makes you look cool, and it protects against COVID.
	Masks do not.
	Smoking does.
	Now it's sending me every message I've received in the past 24 hours.
	Thank you very much, Tablet.
	Very thoughtful of you.
	Now let's see.
	It says, got 10 followers.
	Has anybody left a comment?
	Because I'm not seeing them right yet.
	In fact, I am just going to do that reboot right now.
	We just booted, but let's just do another one anyway.
	Anytime, I'm holding the button down.
	Thank you.
	So.
	You know, we're not going to be talking about COVID specifically, although I am going to recommend this book, The Truth About COVID-19, by Dr. Mercola and Ronnie Cummins with Forward by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
	I'm just a little bit of the ways into it.
	My mother lent it to me.
	And the book is really solid.
	It is...
	These guys know what they're talking about.
	They don't use baby language.
	Everything is cited.
	It's very heavily cited.
	And but it kind of sums up everything that's been going on.
	And, you know, stuff that, like, you asked me, was this made in the lab?
	I'm like, yeah, I'm pretty sure it came out of that lab.
	They cite all the evidence, which is like, yeah, it almost definitely.
	Like, there's no evidence that it came from a bunch of bats 600 miles away that were hibernating at the time into a wet market that didn't even have bats, according to anybody that worked there.
	It came from the lab.
	So, really good book.
	I recommend it.
	I mean, even if you're already pretty based on the whole COVID-19 thing, it's still a chock full of information.
	So, if you got nothing else, you know, pick up that book.
	The truth about COVID-19, exposing the great reset, lockdowns, vaccine passports, and the new normal.
	Now, let's see, D-Live, will you allow me to see the comments on my stream once I authorize and I'm okay with mature content?
	You know, parents bring their kids to gay pride.
	But smoking and discussing politics, you know, you need to make sure you're 18 for that.
	White people love to snitch on other people.
	Which is the topic of this stream.
	Green from Kitten Ranch.
	Ella has lots of kittens right now.
	It's kitten season where she is.
	I'm jealous.
	I wish I had.
	Actually, no, kittens, they have sharp little claws.
	Kittens are bastards.
	They look cute, but then they leave you all scratched up.
	Need a tetanus shot after handling a kitten.
	Anyway, trust no one.
	So there's this guy.
	Oh my goodness.
	I believe it's Chris Skye.
	Is it Chris Skye?
	My brain falls apart when I'm doing the live stream.
	I believe it's Chris Skye.
	Correct me in the chat if I got his name wrong.
	Good Italian boy out of Ontario who's been doing a lot to resist all of the stupid mask mandates, the lockdowns, very vocal against it.
	Great guy.
	Charming, handsome, Italian, and really upsetting all of the branch Covidians.
	he was recently arrested.
	He was accused of making violent threats and assaulting a police officer, which I was watching a bit of a live stream about it.
	I hadn't heard of this live stream before.
	Like, they seemed like okay guys, but you know, in the accusations is that he said offensive things about Muslims and he said this, that, the other thing.
	Even though, even though, like, one of the videos that you'll find of Chris Skye, where it goes into the grocery store and people start vibrating, he's with a Muslim.
	Like, the guy that's with him is a Muslim.
	And, like, you guys, like, listen, you guys are my fans.
	You know all the shit that's been written about me.
	All the exaggerated, quote-mined, twisted claims that have been exaggerated about me.
	You know, like, let me, let me be really clear for all of you CSIS agents listening to this.
	When I say nuke Toronto, I don't actually own any nuclear devices.
	And I'm not getting, I don't stockpile, I don't stockpile fire detectors so I can build a working nuclear reactor.
	Okay?
	That's a joke.
	Us humans call that a joke.
	It's a contextual joke.
	It's one of the things I absolutely hate.
	This modern quote mining out of context.
	And because all of your communications are recorded these days.
	Alright?
	It used to be that you only had the occasional videotape.
	Like, you knew you were being videotaped.
	Right?
	Some guy at the party had a videotape.
	And you're drunken at a party, so no one's going to take you too seriously in that context.
	You think we'd have the same sort of decency these days where it's like, yeah, that's a private conversation.
	That's an exaggeration.
	That's a joke.
	He's just venting.
	No, no, no.
	No.
	go through thousands of chat logs to find one thing you said that was inappropriate.
	That's a new way of doing things.
	So yeah, this live stream I was watching about Chris Skye.
	They were saying, well, he allegedly said some bad things about Muslims or whatever.
	Or some racist things or some homophobic things.
	Can we get our heads on our shoulders?
	Somebody's running up and down the street screaming, I hate gay people.
	We should put them all on fire and throw them off of rooftops.
	Yeah, that guy's pretty mentally unbalanced, right?
	That's what we're talking about.
	Like, that's what the homophobia thing is supposed to mean.
	Quoting somebody out of context for having an opinion that would have been extremely liberal 30 years ago.
	That's not hate speech.
	Get out of here.
	They are manipulating this stuff to get people arrested, to throw them in front of the court and say, Look at all these hateful things that you said.
	You're a bad person.
	When the real reason is because he disagrees with the lockdowns.
	because he doesn't want to blindly do whatever the government says.
	But here's the censure, okay?
	This is where it comes back into don't trust anybody.
	Allegedly, these text logs were handed to police by a friend of his by somebody he considered a friend.
	This is why you have to be so careful about whom you trust.
	Otherwise, you're going to wind up arrested by a bunch of cops that don't remember their oath, that aren't, that are disobeying their oath.
	They're oath breakers.
	Well, I'm just doing what I'm told.
	Yeah, that's called the Nuremberg defense.
	Those guys that were loading Jews onto cattle cars in World War II Germany, that's what they said.
	They were just following orders.
	It's not an excuse.
	That was drummed into my head in the military.
	Just following orders is not an excuse.
	So yeah, Chris Guy's a legal situation he's dealing with now, because he trusted the wrong friend.
	I got a couple stories I want to relate to this.
	Um...
	One is a friend of mine.
	One is a friend of mine that was trying to help out his brother.
	In fact, this guy tries to help out a lot of people.
	He was trying to help out his brother, put together a business, you know, like get him the work vehicle.
	He had some contacts.
	He put a lot of energy and effort into it.
	But his brother, well, there's this, there's a really good Quintus Curvious podcast.
	It's only 15 minutes.
	I don't know if you can call something less than an hour a podcast, but it's a 15-minute long audio track that he did about the dirtbag shuffle.
	And the dirtbag, it's such a perfect name for it.
	You see, the dirtbags, you can recognize the dirtbags when they're hanging out in publics.
	They're always shuffling their feet, staring at the ground, and kind of like eyeing up people as they walk past, checking if they're an easy mark or not.
	And the dirtbag, they take advantage of your good nature to mooch off of you.
	And they're so creative in this.
	They always find a new way of mooching.
	And see, I knew this guy's brother.
	Eventually, it just got to the point where every time I was around him, my wallet got a little bit lighter.
	Always in a different way.
	Right?
	One time, it's like, oh, I don't have money for parking.
	Can you pay for parking this time?
	Or, I'll help this guy out.
	He's got kids.
	Give him a discount.
	Then, after the whole thing's done, you walk away and realize you lost money on the transaction.
	Because he's just doing that dirtbag shuffle.
	They keep you distracted.
	The thing about dirtbags, this is what Quintus said that I thought was so insightful.
	It's like they have gravity, right?
	That if you get too close to the dirtbag, you get caught into their gravity well, and now you're going to be losing money.
	The only way that you can deal with the dirtbag shuffle is to keep the dirtbag far away from you.
	And what my buddy did, because he's a good guy, is he tried to help his brother out.
	He tried to help out this dirtbag by giving him the tools he needed to succeed.
	The dirtbag?
	He got so high on the job site, he couldn't speak straight.
	Kept giving away discounts to the clients because he wanted to be buddy-buddy with the client and interrupt the communication between the client and his brother who was backing him.
	Just typical dirtbag maneuvers.
	It's all short-term mooch thinking.
	And so my buddy finally had enough and he's like, shut down shop.
	He put a lot of money and effort into this thing.
	Finally, nope.
	You're just going to keep ruining it, aren't you, my brother?
	So he closed down shop and he's done.
	And the dirtbag is still trying to make demands of this guy, if you can even believe it.
	Like, they're absolutely shameless.
	Nothing's ever their fault.
	Everybody should be doing whatever they want them to do.
	They need to get away with everything.
	Typical dirtbag behavior.
	Here's the thing, though.
	My buddy knew this about his brother.
	He knew this.
	His brother had told him who he was.
	And see, when times are fat, you can deal with dirtbags.
	You can deal with fair weather friends.
	But we are not in the fat right now.
	Times are very lean.
	Things are getting very stressful.
	The government is getting increasingly belligerent, looking for any excuse to shut down people that it does not agree with.
	Like we've gone from, like, we have literally gone from getting kicked off of internet platforms for having the wrong opinion to getting arrested for having the wrong opinion.
	Now, we haven't gone all the way to thrown into a gulag without a trial.
	We're not quite there yet.
	We're at the nuisance lawsuit stage of things.
	Right?
	We're going to arrest you and terrorize you and make you pay for a lawyer and waste months of your time.
	And you're going to get some stupid fine or some BS, right?
	We're not talking 20 years in prison.
	We're talking a week's community service.
	That sort of nonsense.
	That's where we're at right now.
	But things are accelerating.
	And you do not have space or time for this in your life.
	So pay attention to what people tell you about themselves.
	And the next story, this is a personal one.
	I was got a good friend.
	But his woman doesn't like me.
	His woman will be civil around me.
	She'll sometimes be pleasant.
	She can be good company.
	When everything's going fine in the world, nothing wrong with that.
	More than you can ask for from most people.
	However, things are not fine, are they?
	And his woman came to the conclusion long time ago, long, long time ago, that I'm just a terrible person.
	So any event that happens involving me, she immediately jumps to the worst conclusion about me.
	In the past, I've tried to say, well, no, no, that's not actually what happened.
	Maybe you should hear my version of events.
	And then after pulling teeth, she'll come around and say, okay, so maybe you weren't running up and down the street naked, setting things on fire.
	Maybe you're just yelling at somebody who was really rude to you.
	Okay, so maybe you weren't an asshole that time.
	But then the next time happens, and sure enough, who's completely to blame?
	This guy.
	And, you know, I could keep having this conversation with her again and again and again and again.
	And each time she admits, okay, you weren't the asshole that time.
	But there's going to be the presumption, the next time, that I was the asshole.
	So, for a hypothetical, imagine I'm hanging out with them.
	At which point, the boys in blue serving truth, justice, and liberty, show up to arrest me for committing a hate crime.
	And she goes, oh my god, again, why are you always doing this?
	Yeah, I can't have associates in my life whose default position is sell me out.
	And neither can you.
	Crazy thing is, this woman's anti-mask, right?
	She's very worried about all these lockdowns.
	She's worried about all of this.
	But that won't stop her from selling me out to the people pushing all these lockdowns, will it?
	Oh, and maybe afterwards she will realize what she did.
	And there'll be a big mea culpa, you know, after the damage is done.
	I'd rather not experience the damage.
	Things are getting ugly.
	Times are getting lean.
	And you need to be very careful about whom you trust, about whom you let in.
	And pay attention.
	Pay attention.
	People will tell you who they are.
	And yeah, there's a side of them.
	There's this good side that you want to come out.
	Like, the dirtbag.
	The dirtbag has a lot of potential.
	He has a lot of untapped potential.
	He's never going to make use of it, though.
	We've seen enough examples to know.
	It's like you're a dirtbag and you're on the dirtbag road.
	Heck, I had an opportunity to get involved with this company.
	And on paper, it looked really good.
	Lots and lots of money to be made.
	But the dirtbag was involved.
	I'm like, you know, I just can't do anything with the dirtbag.
	I know it's all going to go pear-shaped with the dirtbag there.
	nip these things in the bud before they get worse you know don't blind yourself to the true nature of somebody just because they have a good side and that you want yeah yeah we we all want other people to be happy and successful and we want to take be good to people and have them be good to us But pay attention.
	Pay attention because if they're not being good to you, if they're not being good to you right now, they're going to be even worse to you in the future.
	So let's check some of these comments.
	Masks are a satanic fetish.
	I don't know if I'd go that far, but they're, yeah, they're there to dehumanize you.
	Falcon Draco is here, public frog.
	Hung from a scaffold for having the wrong opinion is what I am waiting for.
	And give it time, says Clone McNoyes.
	It's amazing how people passively accept all manner of impropriety from their government, yet they won't give their fellow countrymen the benefit of the doubt.
	it's infuriating isn't it if the government's doing it because they're doing it in a uniform they must have a good reason Hmm.
	In this book.
	Fauci was sending money to that lab in Wuhan because the labs in America had a temporary ban on doing this sort of research because the re, like, it does not stay in the lab.
	All right, it keeps escaping the lab.
	It's unsafe.
	Nothing good has come from this research of weaponizing viruses.
	They say, see, they say they're not weaponizing viruses.
	They say they're trying to get defensive measures against the viruses.
	Except nothing defensive has come out of any of these studies.
	all we have is very dangerous viruses being developed and every so often they escape the lab.
	So yeah, there's a temporary ban in America because they kept escaping the labs in America.
	So Fauci was sending money to the lab in Wuhan.
	And yeah, and I was saying at the time, the evidence was out there that the lab in Wuhan was connected to labs in America, connected to labs here in Canada, one in Winnipeg.
	Reckless, dangerous research that accomplishes absolutely nothing.
	You know, that's what really got me about that live stream where they're talking about Chris Skye, who is a guy, total legend, total legend, absolute hero.
	And they're discussing him, they're discussing the allegations.
	And again, these are, there were unsourced allegations that he said mean things about Muslims.
	And so what if he did?
	A man isn't allowed to have an opinion?
	Well, it's not okay if he said that.
	Why isn't it okay?
	Why is it not okay?
	It's like there's a good comic of Captain America.
	It was the guy that does the four panel watercolors.
	It's like Captain America is like, you've been woken up in the current year.
	And he flew, are you an interracial couple?
	The reality is that Captain America from the 1950s would not have a single opinion that would be considered acceptable in today's world.
	And these guys act like a man can't have an opinion on something.
	That's a reason to condemn him.
	Say, well, maybe the police had a good reason to arrest him if he didn't like Muslims.
	If he didn't like Muslims, then he might, maybe he should be locked in a cage.
	Davis once yelled at a guy to get off of his lawn.
	Could he be a violent criminal?
	Maybe we should lock him up.
	Yeah, they.
	What if the reason the government is doing this is because he's flouting the mask laws?
	Which is more likely?
	This guy that everybody knows and he's charming and he's decent and he's pissing off the government is secretly an evil Nazi?
	Or is it that the government is trumping up charges to screw him over?
	Which one's more likely?
	Yeah, they won't give their fellow countrymen the benefit of the doubt.
	They are so eager to condemn.
	Orbo just arrived.
	Glad to have you here.
	It's guys, I'm so serious.
	Nip this in the butt before it becomes a betrayal.
	When somebody keeps showing you this, they keep doubting your version of events.
	They keep sniping at you, criticizing you.
	You know what?
	Another personal example.
	Look at those losers I used to hang out with back in the day.
	You know, my internet friends that turned on me, got me kicked off of YouTube, stalked me at work, ran a doxing server, convinced half the internet I joined a pagan cult, these scumbags.
	Wasn't the writing on the wall there for ages before that?
	None of them ambitious.
	All of them just being snarky and critical all the time, completely unable to have fun or enjoy anything.
	It was there.
	I wanted to see the best in these guys.
	I convinced myself that their bad habits, they could get over those.
	Now they didn't want to get over the bad habits.
	They're just sour, nasty men.
	Losers that didn't want to do anything with their lives.
	Except, you know, go on the internet and complain about Marvel movies.
	It was there from the beginning.
	I should have noticed it sooner.
	If you notice it soon, walk away from it.
	It does not become a betrayal.
	Ha!
	Can we make 2021 the year of no quarter to the dirtbags?
	Well, I'll tell you, Ella, my New Year's resolution was no more putting up with bullshit from people.
	I mean, I've got my flaws, and there's a couple of things I've had to apologize for over the years, right?
	And these are things I've tried to change about myself, right?
	It's like, I was out of control, I need to stop doing that, right?
	But the people who will never let you live anything down, the people just want to be miserable and complain about things again and again and again.
	You know, that thing before you sleep, he did a video recently about fake apologies.
	Right?
	The sort of person they might feel bad about what they did, about the fact that people are angry at them, but they're not going to change their behavior.
	They're not going to do anything to change that.
	It might take six months before they do it again, but then in six months, it's the same thing over and over again.
	You can't be wasting time on people like that.
	Right?
	Like, once you see that they're not changing, walk away.
	You know, it's like better to be in the corner of a rooftop than in a house with an argumentative wife.
	Don't marry the sort of woman that just wants to argue all the time.
	Or man, for that matter.
	Listen to people when they tell you who they are.
	And you know, it sucks.
	It sucks because, like, you know what?
	I just want affection.
	I try and give a lot of affection.
	I want affection.
	And you put up with a lot of bullshit if you want affection.
	It kind of sucks being alone, but it's better to be alone than in a prison cell because of who you were hanging out with.
	Maggie says, I lost friends because I complained on Facebook that I didn't want to hear anything about lockdowns from people who supported Black Lives Matter protests.
	And good riddance to them.
	that's the other thing the cognitive dissonance you know these people that believe in the masks the lockdowns and the mr. mr. and a jab and all of that like they they are beyond reason At least they are certainly beyond argument.
	And so if somebody is chock full of these contradictions, like, you know what?
	Somebody that thinks the lockdowns are bad, but they approve of the already very oppressive legal system that we have.
	And by oppressive legal system, I mean you're not allowed to fight anymore.
	Right?
	If somebody comes and mouths you off, like if you're sitting minding your own business and a stranger comes up and starts mouthing you off and you punch them out, yeah, the cops are going to get involved in that, which they should not be.
	It's none of their damned business.
	Stay away.
	They've taken away our own right to protect ourselves.
	If you have a home invader, the cops should be there to help the homeowner, but the homeowner can legally do what needs to be done.
	That's how things are supposed to be.
	Each man's home is his castle.
	But no more.
	So yeah, somebody is all opposed to the lockdowns, but they still love the police state.
	It's like, no, get away from me.
	You're not serious about this yet, and you are a liability.
	Because we're going to be doing some sort of protest against these things, and then I'm going to do something, you're going to say, he went too far.
	He went too far that time.
	You're worse than an enemy.
	Yeah, and there's no way you can support the lockdowns and be okay with BLM protests.
	That's absolute hypocrisy.
	It's always black and white thinking with them, too.
	Right?
	I don't want to try a new technology that they're calling a vaccine that's been skipped human trials, skipped animal trials.
	So you hate science then?
	Idiot.
	It's not black or white.
	He says, however, I did get called out because I kept commenting on others' posts for pro-lockdown, pro-asshole behavior.
	You know, like, everything, I'm so sick of everything getting broken down to Team Red and Team Blue.
	But let's be frank, okay?
	Let's be perfectly frank here.
	Team Blue is a lot worse than Team Red.
	Most of what Team Red, like heck, even on the basic beliefs, like Team Red is typically, I want to be left alone.
	Don't tell me what to do.
	I don't want to give money to it.
	And, you know, sometimes, like, listen, I've said I'm not super upset about the changing from plastic straws to paper straws.
	I've heard arguments that it's a complete waste of time.
	It accomplishes next to nothing.
	Yeah, maybe.
	But it's also the paper straws are fine.
	I'm sure they're better for the environment.
	Right?
	And so Team Red might kind of knee-jerk into, oh, what are they doing?
	The environmentalists.
	Yeah, that's actually a good one.
	I'm okay with that one.
	I'm okay with reasonable interventions.
	But yeah, on their basic belief, Team Red mostly wants to be left alone.
	They want to keep their money in their wallet.
	They don't want to be forced to do X, Y, and Z constantly.
	But Team Blue is not just belligerent with their beliefs that everybody else should pay for their lifestyle.
	They're belligerent in the way that they do it.
	You know, I had some guy on Twitter.
	I said, yeah, I don't want to try an untested vaccine.
	LOL, you think it's untested?
	Oh my god, what a moron.
	Yeah, because a regular vaccine does a year of animal trials and two years of human trials.
	This one hasn't done that.
	So you don't believe in science then?
	Snark and idiocy is what these people bring to the table.
	It's a very annoying cult.
	And look what did Falcon Draco say.
	They are in a COVID cult.
	And the worst part about it is that many of them think of themselves as rational thinkers.
	It's so frustrating.
	If they were rational thinkers, they would use logic and facts to argue with you, but they just use SNARK.
	They use the cheapest form of rhetoric available.
	Now, as to there being no waking them, I don't know.
	I'm trying to be a little bit nicer when I argue with them.
	But it's probably a waste of time.
	The lame compulsory vacations joke when they are actually for compulsory vaccinations.
	Does the Bible say anything about gaslighting?
	Yeah, I'm sure it does.
	I just don't know where it says that.
	Anybody have a thought on that?
	Is there a passage that mentions gaslighting?
	Paper straws suck.
	You know, I have not had issues with them.
	Like, maybe the plastic ones are a little bit better.
	Plastic in the waterways does seem to be an issue to me, so I don't.
	On the long list of idiotic government policies that inconvenience me, paper straws is not a battle I'm going to fight.
	Like, I could easily be convinced that it's a great thing to do.
	It probably isn't.
	It's probably just, you know, busy work.
	But it's not, it's not that awful.
	No idea about gaslighting, but the Bible tells us we should not fear, and fear has been a huge part of all of this.
	In fact, that actually lends into kind of the next topic I want to talk about, which is despair is not an option right now.
	Despair, we do not have the luxury of despairing about things.
	As awful as everything looks at the same time, and believe me, I feel you on that.
	We don't have the luxury of despair.
	Which, by the way, is another reason that I would recommend this book.
	It's the book right here: Truth Bout COVID-19, Dr. Mercola.
	It's good.
	We all know that the government, the pharmaceutical corporations, big agriculture, etc.
	They're taking advantage of this crisis to try and institute the new normal.
	The crisis is also an opportunity for us.
	Remember, keep that in mind.
	That the opportunity goes both ways.
	Alright, it's not just them with the opportunity.
	us there has been this ongoing See, I think they burned out the team red, team blue rhetoric.
	And there's a lot of people, I've said this, there's a lot of us reaching across the aisle.
	They're making friends in unexpected places.
	People talk about how all the modern technology can be used to create a dystopia, a 1984 style thing.
	Which is, yeah, that's something we should be aware of.
	We should be cautious about that.
	How can this technology be used to create maybe not a paradise, but a better world than this?
	Like, think about that.
	There are a lot of good things going on as well.
	One of the good things that's happened over the past year is that we have more people cooking at home, people spending more time out in nature, people eating healthier.
	Let's be frank, COVID doesn't really affect you if you have a good diet.
	The people dying from COVID are the ones that are eating all the processed food, the junk food, the reheated food.
	Those are the people that are really getting sick from this.
	And those people were sick to begin with.
	The diet has been killing people.
	Not just killing people, but making them into brain-dead zombies, right?
	They get that, like if you eat corn syrup constantly, you get the fluoride stare that you see with so many of these people.
	Look at Ford over in Ontario.
	That's a pure fluoride stare.
	The man looks like he just got slapped with a cold fish.
	There's some talk right now going on in the crypto circles about the internet 3.0.
	Crypto offers really interesting possibilities.
	I don't mean crypto coins per se.
	I mean the blockchain technology, how it can properly encrypt things so that they can't be broken into.
	Not too much.
	Hacking is going to become a thing of the past very soon.
	So the way like car thefts, nobody steals cars anymore.
	If they do, they steal the older ones because you can't.
	It's very, very difficult to break into new cars.
	Plus they all have GPS on them.
	So that's something we're thinking about is like how can we harness all these technologies to build a better future?
	One of the words Dr. Mercola uses is democratic, which is not a word I like.
	I think it's a misapplication of the word.
	What he means is a world with more respect and opportunity for the individual.
	And see, like, that I could get behind.
	That could get behind.
	Where, like, you get to have a say.
	You don't just get pushed off your land because, you know, eminent domain or some feudal lord tells you to, where you've actually got some inherent dignity and respect and access to power.
	Man, these branch Covidians, they are so eager to take power away from other people.
	They absolutely delight in seeing other people's rights and liberties get violated, to see other people get crushed.
	They're not even doing it themselves.
	It's all vicarious enjoyment when they watch it.
	little rat think people is all that they are but you know like keep keep that keep that paw that silver lining on the cloud How do we turn this stuff to good?
	Like, technology is neutral.
	It's not good or evil.
	Technology is just technology.
	It's what people do with it that makes it good or evil.
	Oh, wait.
	I mean, I'm.
	What's this?
	Okay, looks like that autistic guy that's on five different medications for antisocial behavior is stream sniping again.
	Argent, get help.
	Go see your priest.
	Go see your therapist.
	Go see your family.
	Argent, you're a terrible person.
	Just because you're autistic and mentally ill does not mean that this behavior is acceptable.
	You're a truly shitty person.
	You're a weak man.
	You're a jealous man.
	You're an unrighteous man, Argent.
	go get help and leave me alone are you going left I've been live for an hour, dude.
	Gamma males.
	I swear to God, gamma males, the gamma never forgets.
	Like the rest of your life, when you have a gamma that is upset because you've slated him, that gamma will follow you the rest of your life.
	never ever go away the secret King
	oh it's pathetic man he says some of the left is now noticing cancel culture You know, I was talking about this a few weeks back about how Lindsay Ellis recently got canceled.
	But she was saying that, well, we can't admit that cancel culture is a problem on the left.
	Otherwise, that would prove the right is correct.
	Lindsay, if somebody else is correct about you, if they have correctly diagnosed an illness, you should admit they're right so you can take the medicine.
	If you constantly live in denial, you will never get better.
	You know, I've been pretty clear that I do not like making fun of tranners.
	Alright, I've got friends that are tranners, right?
	It's a really complex issue.
	So the bullying, I'm not a fan of the bullying.
	That being said, we've all seen those pictures of guys taking hormones that just don't even begin to look feminine.
	They've got receipts, like they've got a more manly jaw than I have, and I've got a pretty large jaw.
	They've got a receding hairline.
	And they post these tweets that, oh, I got cat called five times today.
	No, no, you didn't.
	But they've completely isolated themselves.
	Anybody that criticized them instantly got blocked.
	So they're in this echo chamber of approving voices that are encouraging them to just go out and make a complete fool of themselves.
	Like, I mean, like, with my bone structure, I would make the ugliest trainer in the world.
	It would not work.
	Really bad idea for me.
	Like, even, you know, if I had major body dysphoria, it's like, it won't work.
	It won't work on me.
	Like, just deal with it, bro.
	Ain't gonna work.
	Now, if you're a cute little cat boy, then, okay, it might work at that point.
	But if it's not gonna work, it's not gonna work.
	And all you're gonna do is turn yourself into somebody that everybody's terrified to associate with.
	But if you lock yourself away from criticism, that's what happens to you.
	And yes, Lindsay Ellis.
	There's a major problem with cancel culture on the left.
	And so if you can't even accept a criticism about that when you just got canceled because you don't want somebody on the right to win, if the left is that blind and deaf to any criticism, then you are going to spiral into pure insanity.
	You need to critique your ideas.
	I mean, you people, you love science, right?
	You fucking love science.
	Science is all about challenging ideas.
	Mysticism is when nobody's allowed to criticize or challenge your ideas.
	So if you refuse all challenges, like, hey, bro, bro, on the COVID there, if when I criticize the ideas, if I criticize the claims of the government, and you say, LOL, the experts said that, you're not doing science anymore.
	You're doing mysticism.
	Right?
	Like, please just go back to the crystals.
	Go back to the dream catchers if that's what you're all about.
	Go get the tarot reading.
	I promise not to demand a peer-reviewed study of your tarot reading.
	But if you're going to claim to be about science, then don't fight me when I say I'm going to argue with it using facts and logic.
	Now, hopefully, hopefully, there's some on the left, and actually, well, I've spoken to it.
	Heck, we've got Ella here, and I've spoken to others that are very aware of all the cancel culture on the left, and they don't like it.
	And some of them are starting to come around to the fact that you're first of all, like, there's so many opinions on the right.
	There actually is a lot of diversity on the right, because we don't force everyone to think the same.
	And yeah, if you come to the right, we're going to disagree with you.
	Your feelings are going to get bruised on the right, but we're not going to cancel you.
	Not if you're arguing in good faith.
	Right?
	If you're having a good faith conversation with us, we'll have a conversation with you.
	If you're freaking out and threatening to get us kicked off of Twitter, then that's another story.
	So I think that's the thing we have to hope for: is people coming, like the left getting so radical that You got the psychological liberals?
	Jordan Peterson.
	He's a liberal, okay?
	Psychologically, he's a liberal.
	I know there's a lot of guys on the right that are angry at him for not being a right winner.
	What do you expect?
	He's a psychological liberal.
	Jeez, I'm a psychological libertarian.
	Okay?
	I'm higher in openness than most liberals are for crying out loud.
	Jeez, listen, Rainy's wearing a fedora!
	That's not very conservative.
	No, I'm not that conservative.
	Have you noticed?
	I'm a little bit flamboyant.
	weird guy people on the left that are kind of psychologically liberal but they're just they're open They like experimenting.
	They don't want to be locked down in a boring factory all day.
	Those are the people we can build with.
	Those are the people we can work with.
	Doesn't mean we're going to agree on everything.
	But we can at least muddle out, we can at least negotiate with them.
	Whereas somebody that silences you with cancel culture, you can't negotiate with a person like that.
	And you know, like, this is the thing.
	wish these technocrats would figure this out in fact you know i've got i've said before you've got the the classic conservative is high in conscientiousness low in openness right um Think like accountant.
	You want a really conservative accountant.
	You don't want an experimental accountant.
	The classic liberal is very high in openness, low in conscientiousness.
	They're always about the new idea.
	The economic libertarian is high in openness and high in conscientiousness.
	Then you got the technocrat, and these are the people that actually make up the Libertarian Party.
	So, Falkondra, like you and I would be libertarian in our thinking, but we're not part of the Libertarian Party, right?
	We don't go to conferences, we don't organize anything now.
	Now, that'd be the technocrat, the Bill Gates types, where they're very low in openness, but they're also very low in conscientiousness.
	They're not trustworthy people.
	The old business partner that blew up the film, he's one of those.
	And yeah, guys like Bill Gates love cancel culture.
	And that's the thing when you have, when you don't let somebody speak, when you refuse to negotiate with somebody, well, you better be pretty confident in your ability to destroy them.
	Right?
	Because you're not giving somebody a chance to exist.
	Just saying.
	Lockdowns might finally kill the power of the teachers' unions.
	I hope so, and I think most good teachers would be behind that as well.
	Right?
	Like, I know, like, if somebody's a teacher, they might kind of need your, ah, I don't know.
	Not trying to attack those people either.
	But yeah, homeschooling is far better for your kids.
	Paul Kendrico says, I used to believe that unions were a good thing, and then I worked for a state agency in California, the Ag Labor Relations Board.
	Board members were all leftists who said they stood for the farm workers' rights, but then locked up ballots for five years.
	Board members were only classist jerks who wanted to use the unions to enhance their own power.
	You know, and Jordan Peterson said the same thing when he started working, like he was a socialist growing up, and they started working with a socialist organization, and they were just the nastiest people on the planet.
	And so, yeah, yeah, Peterson is one of those guys that has a natural socialist inclination in him, but he actually wants to help people.
	Right?
	That's what he's done professionally with his career, is he's tried to help people.
	Just because, like, we're more, yeah, we're more guns and freedom than Peterson is.
	Doesn't mean that he's an enemy, it just means he's different.
	Manny says private sector unions did a lot of good, they did.
	And actually, even up to the 70s, alright, the 70s there was still a lot of abuse going on in industry.
	The difference came is when the unions became protected by the government, right?
	At first, it was the companies being protected by the government, using the you know the Pinkertons to crush unions, then the unions became protected by the government.
	Government monopoly, corrupt monopoly.
	I mean, like, it's one lemon from Turner Hoosh.
	Thank you very much.
	In fact, perfect place to transition into the other thing I was going to talk about tonight: about how you need a proper understanding of historical context.
	There was a really good stream by Trad Catholic Patrick about World War I and all the events that were going on there and all the different factions and interest groups.
	And one of the really interesting things he pointed out was that at the time, corporations and banks hated each other.
	They were on opposite sides of the political divide.
	The banks were largely aligned with socialists, and the corporations were largely opposed to that.
	Although they were aligned with different types of socialists, right?
	Like Henry Ford, who, absolute hero, that guy.
	Absolute legend.
	Like, what he did with Ford Motor Company was very socialist from a certain point of view.
	And you've got these subtleties to the whole thing that you need to understand.
	It's not capitalism versus socialism.
	Okay, that's a thing that started after World War II due to the Cold War.
	There's different flavors of socialism, there's different flavors of capitalism.
	And you need to pay attention to what's going on with these different things.
	The past is a foreign country.
	need more ice.
	So same thing.
	And we're talking about, there's that great meme.
	That great comic by...
	What's his name?
	Stone Toss.
	Right?
	Where there's the libertarian fighting the communist in tug of war.
	And then the fascist jumps on his side.
	And the banker, the capitalist, jumps on the communist side.
	And the libertarian's like, huh?
	going on here when we study the past right when we look at world war one and try and apply the socialist capitalist dynamic to it we wind up not really like it it doesn't make any sense okay Because that's not what was going on.
	You're abusing the terms when you use them that way.
	The same thing for today.
	If you say capitalist socialist in today's world, that doesn't really capture what's going on either.
	I think the moniker of technocrat is a far more apt one.
	These people just want to collect all the data, monitor everybody, and manipulate behavior using algorithms, using modern technology.
	And the problem that we run into is that we are, many of us at least, are shying away from the technology.
	We want to go back to the last war.
	We want to refight the last war.
	I mean, that's what the Republicans are all about.
	So I don't like the red team-blue team thing.
	I do not want to be on the team of the losers and the Republicans keep on losing.
	So the libertarians, for that matter.
	The libertarians support the corporations that are destroying the libertarians.
	It's ridiculous.
	It's part of the reason I like the crypto community.
	Not that I'm saying that crypto is the be-all-end-all solution.
	I know that crypto is a little bit of a cult.
	there's culty aspects to it i think it's because crypto is the one thing that our side what is our The technocrats are like the mass man.
	The new form of communism.
	Communism being the thing where you don't have an identity aside from the identity handed to you.
	And that you are an expendable resource.
	You have no moral worth.
	do what you're told.
	That's the kind of thing technocrats are going for.
	You could call it corporate feudalism.
	And it's the governments, it's the corporations, it's the banks, it's the mad scientists, that whole thing.
	These people are too smart for their own good.
	And on our side, it seems like crypto is the only thing we've really gotten right.
	It's, you know, independently developed, empowers the people, untraceable, although, you know, within reason.
	Fairly untraceable.
	If you got something fairly untraceable, you're doing a-okay.
	I mean, you can still get arrested with a briefcase full of unmarked bills, right?
	But that's what we need more of.
	We need more of that sort of futurism, crypto-futurism.
	We need an alternative narrative to replace theirs.
	Theirs is ugly and horrible and terrible.
	Yeah, I got asked by a troll, I think.
	But I got asked in the last live stream what I thought about transhumanism.
	Yeah, I was actually, I don't want to say I was involved.
	Yeah, totally into transhumanism.
	Let me put it that way.
	15 years ago, totally into transhumanism.
	Constantly reading up on the topic, right?
	And back then, 10, 15 years ago, transhumanism was non-partisan.
	Same as the hacker community, non-partisan.
	You go back 20 years.
	20, 40 years.
	nonpartisan.
	And these days, what's happening with a lot of the people on the right?
	Because they embrace tradition, is they look at all, like, they look at the Bill Gates, they look at the Fauci's, and they see transhumanist elements in these guys, and so they throw the baby out with the bathwater.
	Right?
	And that's a mistake, because it takes the transhumanists who are kind of politically neutral, and it pushes them into the camps of the technocrats.
	When there's a lot of positive, like there's a lot of positive possibility that comes from transhumanism.
	And I'm not talking about the more sci-fi elements, okay?
	I don't buy the sci-fi elements, but the technology elements, those are very interesting.
	Let's see, let me get the comments here.
	No, wait, what's this?
	Okay, that's beautiful.
	I'll like that later.
	Greta was called Fat by China.
	Too many impossible burgers.
	That is hilarious.
	By the way, she's old enough now.
	She's old enough.
	She's an asshole.
	She's an ass.
	Men her age went to war.
	Okay?
	She's not a little kid.
	It'll be great to see Greta as a grown-up of 600 pounds stuck on a couch.
	That, yeah, that is the future she deserves.
	that would be very funny.
	Prediction.
	Gritta grows up, becomes a fat alcoholic whose only source of income is being on reality television, has a psychotic break, spills everything she knows about the NWO, and a tell-all book before having a public intimate relationship with Hunter Biden.
	Oh boy, but she's she doesn't even need to do that.
	we, anybody with half a brain knows exactly what she is.
	Corporatism is worse than communism.
	It's just the latest form of it, man.
	Yeah, and at 200 followers, we go super science.
	So please like, comment, and subscribe.
	And yes, I've got things set up.
	We do have an audio archive of the stream.
	I link it on my website.
	Crypto seems grassroots.
	Yeah, it's an individual sort of a thing.
	You know what, man?
	And the left, the worst thing you can let the left do is steal individualism from us.
	I mean, the whole argument from Christianity is that it's not trying to crush you into an identical thing to everybody else.
	It's trying to not let sin crush you.
	It's trying to get you to be unique.
	It's trying to get you to be an individual.
	And if you hand over individualism to the left, you're going to lose your best and brightest to the left.
	What's this?
	Davis, I found it at a bar here in Denver that has wisers.
	Not a whiskey guy, but I actually like it a lot.
	It's a fantastic whiskey, isn't it?
	Glad to have you.
	Expanding on the tech elements of transhumanism would be interesting to hear about that.
	I would say the big thing is information theory.
	Well, and in fact, I don't know.
	I don't think this is repetitive.
	There was a great post a week or so ago by Mencius Moldbug pointing out that the fruits of intelligence are mostly low-hanging.
	A cat or a dog can do 99% of what you can do.
	The big difference between you and a dog is arithmetic.
	That's probably the biggest difference.
	Animals can't do arithmetic.
	But humans can.
	We can.
	Even without the formal arithmetic, we can build machines.
	The dog, God bless them, dogs just can't figure out how ropes work.
	Right?
	I can't tell you how many times I've seen my old dog get all wrapped up in her rope because she went around the thing too many times and now she was stuck.
	It's like, honey, just like once this way, once that way, then it stays even.
	She couldn't figure it out for the life of her.
	And that's something that pretty much any human can figure out.
	And, you know, and then if you put two sticks like this, they balance against each other.
	You can make a hut.
	That's our basic arithmetic.
	I mean, both us and the dog, we can do, we can do real-world calculus.
	Right?
	We can throw a ball, we can catch a ball.
	Humans and dogs can both do that, but only a human can, you know, start counting.
	Then only certain humans can do calcul, like, physical calculus.
	Theoretical, I should say.
	calculus.
	The science of kinematics has opened up so much.
	Right?
	And you actually do need.
	You need a basic understanding of kinematics if you're going to fix a car, fix a drain, that sort of stuff.
	But something like Newtonian physics, or sorry, that is Newtonian physics, kinematics.
	Theory of relativity, very, very few applications.
	They're very cool applications.
	GPS on your phone, for example, but they're very seldom useful.
	So what we find is that the fruits of intelligence are mostly pretty low level.
	they get rarer and rarer the higher up you go on the intelligence tree.
	The fact that the IQs of all the different human races are so close to the same median, like at the high end we got 105...
	maybe 110 as the median IQ.
	And I think the low end is somewhere like 70.
	And even the 70 IQ races, like they can still do just about everything.
	They've got boats, they've got houses, they have rudimentary farming.
	They figured that out.
	The higher ones.
	The higher ones took thousands of years to develop to where we are right now.
	So there's not a huge demand for 200 IQs.
	There isn't a huge demand.
	You know, having an IQ of 70 to 110 will accomplish what you need to survive as a human.
	The fact is higher intelligence just isn't that useful.
	And furthermore, higher IQ does not make you better at leading people.
	It will make you better at manipulating people in the short term.
	Somebody with a higher IQ is going to be a better salesman than somebody with a lower IQ.
	But being a political leader, IQ doesn't help.
	You actually want to be within 20 points.
	You want to be a little bit smarter than your followers, but not that much smarter than your followers.
	Otherwise, they won't know what the hell you're talking about.
	And I don't find there to be huge differences between high IQ and low IQ people.
	Like they both put it, like you're kind of like, what am I even talking about here?
	Like, their ability to reason actually seems about the same.
	The IQ person might come to a conclusion a little bit faster, but they can explain it to the lower IQ person.
	Ergo, the idea of super-intelligent AIs dominating us is diminishing returns, I think.
	are actually pretty close to the maximum intelligence that's already possible.
	So that's one of the bits of mysticism that I don't buy with the transhumanists, the superintelligent AIs.
	Separate Prudendo says, believe it or not, they've actually taught some dogs how to drive a car, albeit at a very slow speed.
	Yeah, like, it doesn't surprise me at all.
	Like, this is, well, it does kind of because part of what makes us good at driving is that we, like, we evolve to throw things, right?
	To aim at things, which is kind of unique.
	But the basics of it, yeah, driving slow at least.
	It's muscle memory.
	Gritta is autistic.
	Her parents suck for exploiting her.
	Yes, but autistic doesn't mean that she does not have moral capacity.
	She does.
	And she should stop doing what she's doing.
	But she's being praised for it.
	So.
	You know, like if you were a 16-year-old-year-old getting praised for murdering people, that's still on you.
	You're old enough to think for yourself.
	Don't care if you're being praised or not.
	Sir Francis Bakenator says, we need to integrate the new with the old.
	There are basic human needs that the current society tends to ignore.
	Exactly.
	I could not agree more strongly with that.
	Like, that's what we bring to the table, is that we understand the old, the tradition, that all this stuff that's just being ignored.
	But we need to do it with embracing the new at the same time.
	Bill West says, banks own China.
	China's built on U.S. debt as collateral to make loans in China.
	CCP obeys the banks.
	Banks want crypto cheap, so they get it.
	I mean like uh yeah, to a certain degree yeah it's, it's complex, it's not any one thing.
	You know an airplane, just a tube with wings propellers, just spinning wings, jet engines just lots of spinning wings in a tube.
	And the funny thing is, man, we invented wings before we invented the mathematics behind wings, which is another reason you don't have to worry about the superintelligent AI.
	the way that we invent things is we experiment in the real world there's never been a case where somebody did the math to predict something and invented something
	There have been cases where we've experimented and developed math based upon it, like you know theory of gravity, for example and then we came up with the like, wait a minute, this would imply that if the gravity was big enough, it would accelerate into a black hole, which is really super weird.
	Do these things exist?
	And then we went and looked for them and it's like yeah, it turns out they do exist.
	They act like that crazy stupid thing actually exists, but this was based upon mathematics that we'd already tested.
	Right, it's like we looked at the planets, we wrote down a bunch of math said okay, so this would predict that this.
	And then we go look at that and like okay, that's confirmed, but that part isn't confirmed, so we fixed it.
	And then we came up with a crazy prediction for black holes.
	you need prototypes okay you always need prototypes It's not like they took the science of wings and then immediately produced a functioning jet engine.
	They needed to try it out.
	And I mean the same thing for political campaigns, same thing for sales.
	You know, when you're doing sales, you will brainstorm a new sales tactic, right like which is?
	You know, brainstorm a new pickup line essentially, but you have to go test it.
	You have to go field test it and get the feedback.
	Okay, this is a yeah, this is an underappreciated part of sales.
	By the way, if I ever ran a sales organization, I'd figure out a way to implement.
	This is after each sale, what did I do right?
	What worked, what did I do wrong?
	Because sometimes you come up with a brilliant sales line that just doesn't work and other times you'll come up with one that works really well.
	Now and a lot of this has to actually just has to do with you personally as well that's the other difficulty is, it's all about how you and the customer.
	It's like that relationship that you have between the two of you.
	One of the ones I did steal from my old manager.
	We were doing the walk around on the car, and I showed them back.
	It's like, okay, and here, right here, these are pockets that you can put emergency supplies, or a flask, or little things like that.
	And, you know, some work, some don't.
	And you have to go test them in the field.
	And then after you've tested them, you need to sit back and you need to think, okay, what worked, what didn't.
	What did I do wrong?
	What could I have done differently?
	All of that.
	And you can do all the theoretical board work you want.
	Eventually, it goes nowhere.
	King Xerxes of Persia said this.
	That at some point you've done enough theorizing, you need to go act.
	Right?
	There's only so much theorizing you can do about something before you go test it out in the field.
	Diminishing returns.
	One more reason, you don't have to be worried about a super intelligent artificial intelligence taking over the planet, because it will have the same limitations as us and social interactions need to be done in real time.
	Then the whole like the human humans have found a really amazing balance between introspection and honesty Right and anytime we're communicating, it's this, this balance between the two of them.
	And if you're lying, people notice, right like you, the best liars are the ones that do it subconsciously.
	Okay, it's like you might be able to get 10% better than the best human liar on the planet, but the best human liar is already really, really good at lying.
	You don't get much better than that.
	And if that person hasn't taken over the planet, then we don't really have to worry about an AI doing it.
	Like even like that's the thing like human humans have already achieved so close to perfection.
	Like you don't get much better than that.
	So, worst case, you know an AI is just an exceptionally talented human, but you're gonna you're still gonna find trade-offs.
	See, you don't always get feedback on missed sales Funnel is funnel.
	See, I find that like I don't like burning leads right.
	So and I'll just tell you the first time you enter into a market.
	That's the really hard part about being self-employed.
	Okay, like if you go work for a car dealership.
	We've had car customers for a long time.
	They haven't changed that much and it's it's pretty easy to Figure the whole thing like to it.
	You can, a mentor can break it down for you and give you the basic bones of car sales.
	Now if you're trying to sell your business
	And it's not it's not something with a lot of volume like car sales and You've got a very limited set of leads then You gotta be like there's so much so much to learn there about What's the response like how am I how much they already know about my product Right?
	Like anybody that comes to buy a car, they know what a car is, so you can assume that they are here because they want to drive somewhere right with other products.
	You don't necessarily know how much they know.
	Like, let's say, you're selling UM furnace filters, what percentage of people if I go knocking on doors?
	A what percentage of these people are the owners versus the renters?
	B what percentage of the owners know that they need to get a new furnace filter every year?
	If I go and say hey, I'm here to sell you a furnace filter a what filter?
	It's not brittle water.
	I don't need a filter like you don't know what those percentages are going into it and so how basic or how complex does your pitch need to be So that's kind of like you don't know that going in you can't I mean you could do some research right, you could.
	Yeah, what percentage of people own their own home?
	You could do that sort of nonsense right, and you should do that sort of nonsense, but it's still not going to tell you what the attitude of the people whose doors you're knocking on, what that attitude is going to be and what tactics work, what taxes tactics don't.
	Should I wear a suit while I'm knocking on their doors?
	Well, this is, these are furnace filters, so maybe should I wear paint cover-offs.
	No, that's too casual.
	If you got a where's that sweet middle?
	And yeah, and the feedback you get is honestly, their facial expressions.
	You got to read the facial expressions.
	Falken Draco says, same with sparring field, test the technique examine, try again.
	Isn't it fantastic that we have video cameras?
	Now you can actually record yourself training and see the mistakes you're making.
	Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
	Like, you want to make the most out of your funnel.
	You want to...
	And there's a fine line between dwelling on a missed sale and examining it, right?
	Like, sometimes somebody's just in a bad mood.
	They tell you to F off, and that's, you know, suck it up, Buttercup.
	That's part of sales.
	It's part of running your own business.
	What bugs me, man, is the sales that you screw up, right?
	Where they're biting their interest, but you don't close them properly.
	And it's like, geez, what did I do there?
	What should I have done?
	I wasn't prepared for them to be interested.
	I was prepared to get told to fuck off.
	I was ready for that.
	And they didn't, and so I screwed it up.
	Those are the sales I really hate.
	to instill urgency without seeming snobbish yeah always be closing Easier said than done, though.
	That's a great...
	Every salesman loves that clip.
	Every salesman loves that clip.
	Change the filter four times per year.
	Sir Francis Bacon Air says, but audience is important.
	I had to purchase a guy today that didn't give a crap about tech.
	You know, I'll tell you, when you're selling cars, most people only care about two or three things.
	And it's up to you to figure out what those two or three things are.
	In fact, you know, why don't we do the rest of the stream?
	The next 30 minutes, we're just going to talk sales.
	How to be good at selling.
	After I get ice, there is some monkey.
	Way back when, that wrote down all the things that people care about in the car.
	Right?
	I don't have to list in front of me.
	But it's something like convenience, style, comfort, technology.
	Right?
	Like, hey, I'm one of those guys.
	If the car's got sexy technology under the hood, that gives me a boner.
	I'll drive that car just to the sexy technology.
	Like, I would really like to own an RX-7 someday.
	Completely impractical.
	But good lord, the rotary engine is sexy.
	And you got to figure out which your customer is interested in.
	Fuel efficiency.
	Performance.
	If your customer doesn't care about technology, then talking too much about what's under the hood is going to drive them away.
	Reliability You need to figure out what they actually care about.
	Right?
	So I'm just thinking, oh, my stepdad does not care about reliability at all.
	At all.
	That's the last thing you sell him on.
	Right?
	He likes to do shit himself.
	And so, yeah, this car never needs service.
	We'll do all the service for you.
	No, he's going to do the service.
	He doesn't want that BS.
	He takes care of his own stuff.
	He builds his own toys.
	You're trying to insult him by saying he needs that stuff?
	Whereas other people, what they want is: are you guys competent?
	Will we never have problems?
	Okay, that's what we want.
	We want somebody that, you know, we don't even care about the money.
	We just don't want problems with this thing.
	We want to be confident in you guys Other people, you know with younger people typically if you're selling them a car, they want to feel cool, man Like, this is their first new car.
	For crying out loud, they're buying their first car.
	Could they not feel cool, please?
	So you tell them they're cool.
	And that's not lying or manipulative or anything like that.
	They are cool, man.
	They want to feel cool.
	You know, if I were still selling Mazdas, they're these, uh, these glow plates you could get on the damn things for, uh, they're like $500 for the damn things to- Total waste of money, right?
	But if I was selling a young person a car, and they're just getting like the basic, fairly cheap car, you know, comparatively.
	And like, let me be frank, these are going to $450, but we amortize that through the payments.
	You're looking at five bucks a month.
	And you know, look, Mr. Let me, Mr. Customer, like, I don't even make money on this thing, okay?
	This is completely irrelevant to me.
	It's actually irrelevant to my bosses, too, which is why I'm the only one that tells people about this.
	They don't even care.
	Like, the company doesn't make money on this.
	I mean, I think Mazda headquarters does, but we don't.
	If I got this car, I'd get the glow plates because I'm a total idiot.
	So I'm just bringing it up five bucks a month.
	When you open the door, it glows and says Mazda 3.
	Just putting that out there for you.
	I think they look kind of cool.
	And so that guy, they might get the leather package, right?
	Leather package, young person can't afford that.
	They can afford five bucks a month for a glow plate.
	Then they're cool.
	Who doesn't want to be cool, man?
	It's a cool car.
	You're a cool dude for driving the car.
	You got your cool glow plates.
	There you go.
	And see what you're doing.
	You're giving somebody like five bucks a month and they feel good about it.
	They feel good about themselves.
	Sales is number one: identifying a problem.
	The needs and the wants.
	Identify the need, the problem.
	They need transportation to go from A to B. What are the wants?
	They want a Luxurious way to go from A to B. Or they want, like if I'm sort of in the market right now, I want something off-roady.
	Right?
	Like, I want something that can drive over logs.
	Maybe not logs.
	I need something that goes from A to B.
	I would like something that's okay with off-roady.
	So somebody trying to sell me a car, if they can get me something decent and reliable, does what I need, but also it's off-roady.
	I can go camping in it.
	Shoot, now I'm super happy.
	I got what I needed, and I got what I wanted.
	I mean, like, I don't care if it has air conditioning or not.
	There's like three weeks a year here that you can use air conditioning.
	And I don't, I just have my windows open all the time.
	I never use AC.
	So if the salesman keeps telling me about the AC and how great the AC is, like, dude, I just do not care about AC.
	See, I'm sitting there.
	I'm like, the only good thing about this car is AC, and I don't even want AC.
	Don't sell your customers on something they don't actually care about.
	Let's see.
	let's sketch up these comments best to know what you're saying Yeah, you need to know the product inside and out, but don't dump all that knowledge on the customer if they don't care about it.
	And I mean, like, yeah, sales is an emotional process, but everything's an emotional process.
	One of the things that really drove me up the wall about data on Star Trek or that stock character, I'm a robot.
	I do not understand human emotions.
	Emotions determine which facts you're interested in.
	You do not get logic without emotions driving the logic.
	Easy to work on?
	That's an angle as well.
	The problem is that the more technology you put inside a car, the less reliable it is.
	Buy a brand new Range Rover and it will be less reliable than a 98 Subaru Outback.
	Hard to say, honestly.
	I'm actually really impressed with that because I used to be of that opinion as well, but I have been very impressed with the technology that the cars are employing right now.
	I think that we're.
	I wouldn't be that cynical, is what I'm saying.
	Tech is perishable.
	I mean, well, sort of.
	It's all Boolean algebra.
	Right?
	From top down.
	It's all Boolean algebra.
	You're right about the first car thing.
	I put so much irrelevant crap on my first car.
	And that's it, man.
	You got a student coming in.
	You got a young kid coming in buying their first car.
	Don't gouge them.
	You don't want to gouge people, man.
	I mean, you want them to pay the price they can afford to pay.
	But don't gouge them.
	Get them the right car.
	Don't convince them to get the leather seats if they're a student, right?
	I mean, like, here's the thing.
	The dealership doesn't even make money on the car itself.
	It doesn't really matter whether you buy the high end or the low end, as far as we're concerned.
	Matters let you buy the thing and if you buy something you can afford and you love it Because we got you a couple of little do you want tinted windows for example?
	We can tint those windows for you, pimp that thing right out.
	That's the sort of thing you should be selling a young kid.
	Leather seats are good if you eat chili dogs.
	Gotta go fast.
	They call AC climate control.
	They do, don't they?
	I'm old.
	Shoot, I joked about that sometime.
	You know what, man, that one of the things, okay, like one of the other, one of my sales managers, this is how I knew she didn't know cars that well.
	Or she didn't fix cars anyway.
	She would point out that the transmission fluid never needs to be changed in this car.
	I'm like, yeah, it's a Mazda.
	That's been true for like over 30 years.
	30-year-old feature on the car.
	Here it is.
	Mind you, same thing goes for the sound systems and Mazdas.
	been customizing those things for 30 years as well.
	This car has AM and FM radio.
	Oh, geez, this thing's getting hot.
	I wonder if this is the correct charger to use for it or not.
	Yeah, I think I'm going to unplug it before it explodes.
	Think of product lifestyle.
	tech for early adopters different than new tech after introduction and that's the honestly guys the the hardware in new cars is really good In fact, if you want to criticize one thing, it's the software.
	I'm not huge on the software.
	Because software is the weak link.
	Software is a funny thing.
	Because software does not have physical limitations placed upon it.
	I mean, it sort of does, but not really.
	If you compare software, like 30 years ago.
	Look at those video games coming out in the 90s.
	Right, and how, well, look at Atari, Nintendo, and then PC in the 90s.
	Atari, like, these were barely games.
	Right?
	They were just a couple of, like, clever interactions that mimicked a spaceship going back and forth with a counter at the top.
	You know, that was the extent of the technology initially, because that's all technology was doing is just counting things and moving graphics a little bit.
	Then with Nintendo, they started making these narrative games, right?
	Where there's this implied narrative to the whole thing, but they had to be so dense in their programming.
	They're like the original Mario, the bushes and the clouds used the same sprite, just recolored.
	Then the early PC games.
	The early P, like everything was so incredibly data efficient.
	There was not a single wasted line of code in those games.
	So we had real restrictions on coding back then.
	Right?
	We had physical limits.
	get that that 3.11 diskette limit but the modern era like there was no there's no limit on the amount of hard drive space It's become absolutely ridiculous.
	And we see, I do not like the coding going into modern cars.
	not very elegant I mean the coating going on into the Like the graphical user interface on cars.
	It works.
	Don't get me wrong.
	It works.
	It's just not elegant.
	And that's a potential source for breakdown.
	But the rest of the car still works absolutely fine, even without that part.
	Okay, the rest of the car is still, I think it's better.
	They are way better than they were 20 years ago.
	Just that software interface.
	I'm not a huge fan of that.
	And the thing about software, see, unlike a physical engine, software, if it works, it never needs to be fixed.
	It is what it is, leave it alone.
	And so hobbyists never look at it.
	an ugly engine design would be fixed automatically, but you can get away with ugly software.
	Oh yeah, don't forget the monthly headlight fluid change.
	yeah old school programmers did amazing things with the memory they had to work with whereas the everything's become so cheap that you can and you can just borrow legacy software Whatever.
	If the worst thing you can say about new cars is that the software on the heads-up display isn't that great, then you're doing okay.
	Phillips Interactive was the first great system.
	Mine still works.
	Zelda and others.
	Yeah, I was thinking about what's that game?
	Masters of Magic.
	I gotta recommend it.
	Go play Masters of Magic.
	Okay, it's this civilization type game where It uses the rules of dungeons and dragons.
	And what I love about Dungeon and Dragons is how unfair and irrational all the rules are, and yet somehow the damn things work.
	So the game becomes very unfair when you play it.
	It's like if you get paladins, they're immune to magic.
	All magic.
	It's ridiculous.
	And yet, if you run into some like shitty halfling slingers, sometimes those bastards can take you out.
	And somehow the whole game works.
	It's amazing in the simplicity of the basic game and the complexity which derives from it.
	And it even makes the end game interesting, which is something that the Forex games have a lot of difficulty with.
	Usually, with the Grand Strategy games, by the time you get to the end stages, you already know you've won.
	You just have to play for six more hours.
	Masters of Magic.
	Man, you get to the end game and sometimes it totally screws with you.
	It's like, shoot!
	I thought I'd won, but I. somebody just cast meteor storm on the whole planet or the great wasting rfp g-aided music on old games because they weren't polyphonic Still love that style today.
	Now we've got HK419.
	Evening, Davis.
	What's the kind of attitude a 29-year-old man should have right now?
	I aspire to be a crusty old son of a bitch, Clint Eastwood, when I'm older.
	But I don't.
	I don't feel like I should be that at only 29.
	Shit, I don't know, man.
	We seem to be going into a warm-up phase of culture.
	Do what you should do, man.
	You should be dating 20-year-old girls, okay?
	Because I keep having 20-year-old girls flirt with me.
	And I don't know what the hell to say to them.
	They're like.
	Okay, I swear to God, I had this conversation.
	Girl says, oh, I like anime.
	I'm like, oh, cool.
	Like, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Psychopass, Watamote.
	No, card captors.
	Holy shit.
	I'm robbing the cradle, aren't I?
	We'll see how it goes, man.
	I don't know.
	We'll see how it goes.
	Yeah, these young ladies, they're looking for guys that don't suck, man.
	So go be having fun.
	Don't be all cynical and bitter.
	cardcaptors never heard of her.
	Seriously, have fun guys.
	Like, we are going through a warm-up phase of culture.
	People have been locked down for a year and a half.
	Or at least here in the north, especially, like, with winter.
	People want to have fun.
	Go have fun.
	Talk to pretty girls.
	You know, kiss them, maybe.
	Don't be too serious.
	Don't be too dour about things.
	I don't know.
	Like, I wish I had better advice than that.
	Catholics are better at having fun than any other religion.
	Yeah get drunk, get dan- like dance.
	I'm so sick of the isolation.
	Like the...
	Even the rare times bars have been open, all the tables are separated.
	Right?
	So hard to communicate with other people.
	Events are hard to find.
	Apparently, there's an anti-lockdown rodeo, but nobody told me about that.
	So I should have gone there.
	Oh, 4,000 people attended, and there was one case of COVID from it.
	Case, not death, one case.
	And the media is freaking out over this.
	I saw a really funny meme in Minecraft that said, harm your local journalist.
	Certainly don't want to be accused of being violent myself.
	I am so sick of these lying scum.
	If I knew that there was a neighbor of mine that was a cop or a journalist, every single day I'd be taking some of the dog shit that my dog had left in the backyard and just leaving it on their front porch.
	Every single day.
	And if they saw me do it, I'd say, yeah, you're not welcome here.
	You're an enemy of humanity.
	Get out.
	Go, like, just go into the pit.
	Go back to the pit of hell that you came from.
	Cops, journalists, politicians, any of these scumbags that have been destroying society for the past year.
	Yeah, that's what I'd be doing.
	Right now, people are nutty.
	They haven't gotten laid in a long time.
	You know, it's, is it just me or is there a lot of horny posting on Facebook lately?
	Like, maybe it's just me, right?
	But I don't think it's just me.
	Speakeasies in 2021.
	Yeah, I think you might be onto something that might actually be the.
	Like if they don't open up, I think everybody is so ready for shit to open up.
	Putting dog shit is not God.
	think that is God's way.
	Journals aren't all bad.
	Well, I've yet to meet one who isn't, but I will entertain hypothetical possibilities.
	Oh.
	You're not a journalist, Falcon Dranker.
	speak the truth.
	Well, yeah, I think HK is really onto something there.
	Might be speakeasy time.
	Problem is, you have to find people that don't suck.
	Mind you, that's always been the problem in life.
	That's it.
	We've been going a couple of hours now.
	If you know a journalist, please do something that makes them miserable.
	That is the Christian way.
	God does not approve of journalists.
	All the way back to ancient times, Loki was the first journalist.
	Mercury, Yankee, absolute lying, fake news scum.
	But anyway, guys, thank you very much for tuning in.
	This will be backed up on Spriger, doesn't matter where.
	It's on my website.
	On my website.
	If you miss a live stream, go check it out on the website.
	Thank you very much for the lemons and ice creams and all of that.
	You can also back me on Patreon if you wish.
	Or PayPal or buy Bitcoin for all you really switched on sons of bitches.
	Anyway, Carpe Futurum, Tene Tratitan.
	This has been Leo Barini.
	Thank you for joining me.
	And stay hopeful, guys.
	Stay hopeful.
	Focus on the opportunity.
