Livestream: Two Choices: Faith, or Gnosticism

Atheism isn't really a thing. Either you believe in a higher set of principles, immutable and superior to men - or your believe that you yourself are a god.

	Good evening folks.
	I am rebooting the tablet.
	Because as usual, things don't work right away.
	Now, how's our composition?
	How's our company?
	Look at my wonderful hotel room.
	I'm so excited to not be where I was 48 hours ago.
	I hope you are enjoying not being where you were 48 hours ago.
	Unless you're in the same place, of course, in which case I hope you're enjoying that.
	How is the lighting?
	It looked a little bit better with my camera app.
	There's a light right there, but it's this ugly, ugly halogen.
	And it just flattens everything out.
	This is a little bit romantic, I think.
	A little bit too much shadow on my face.
	It's not ideal, but I think we can live with it.
	And there we go.
	App is rebooted.
	Rebooting.
	Slowly being finished.
	Being rebooted.
	You can tell it's a good hotel because you got real plastic in your cups.
	Nah, it's a fine hotel.
	It's just not fancy or anything like that.
	All right.
	loading wait am i even okay i'm locked in It's loading all the icons.
	It's got to load the icons.
	There we go.
	Now I can see the chat.
	And it looks like, got Tradesman Lloyd, glad to have you.
	Let's see.
	Soilennial.
	Clon McNoyes.
	Rick Ovens.
	Ella.
	Oh, we've got the lovely Ella here.
	Ella, did you see the Snoot dog I posted to Instagram?
	That dog has a droop snoot.
	It's snoot will droop.
	Man, that thing's got a huge nose.
	Centerman, I think I already got you, Rick Ovens.
	Yeah, yeah, exactly.
	This lighting is pretty awful.
	It's really washed out on the camera.
	But I think we're just going to go with it.
	Like, everything just turns green otherwise.
	So, yeah, one of these days I'll have that YouTube money.
	Then I can afford the nice hotels.
	Anyway.
	Topic of tonight's stream is not the title.
	I did figure out how to change the title on my PC, but it looks like the tablet app does not have that functionality.
	Right?
	Like, I know how to do it now, but there's actually no option on the tablet.
	Transmission is weak due to crappy hotel internet.
	You guys will have to tell me if the audio suffers.
	I don't care if the video suffers.
	Right?
	Video, like, whatever.
	This is mainly a live stream.
	But tell me if the audio goes down for any reason.
	And, well, I am out of town for work.
	And I am waiting for the work to start.
	And getting paid for it.
	So, pretty happy.
	Pretty happy.
	Audio was cutting out a minute ago, eh?
	We'll see how it goes.
	We will see how it goes.
	I do have a lot of data on my new plan, but rather not like it, you know, live streams use a lot of data.
	Video uses a lot of data.
	Topic of the live stream.
	You got two choices.
	You got faith.
	Did it just cut out again?
	Is it cutting out again?
	Well, you've got God, faith, truth, or you've got nihilism, Gnosticism.
	And you know what?
	neither of those are atheism.
	See, this is, I was listening on the drive up here to the three-hour stream by New Discourses on the theology of Marxism.
	And yeah, yeah, guys, just tell me if there's any issues.
	I'm keeping an eye on chat.
	And it really got me thinking about all of this.
	Right?
	Because the stream he is explaining that Marxism is a religion.
	Okay?
	It is fundamentally a religion.
	And it's very interesting that despite the fact that religion has a lot of protection in the United States, the Marxists never sought out religious protection.
	And they didn't do this for a very good reason.
	Because they wanted access to your children.
	They wanted access to the educational institutions.
	But it is a religion.
	And I want to be discussing that topic today.
	And I figure one of the tactic cat is magnificent, says Ella.
	Oh, and he's gone to the grandparents.
	I don't have him anymore.
	Kind of miss him.
	Kind of missing him bopping me in the nose when he wants me to wake up.
	Kind of miss him glaring at me if I stay up past midnight.
	I miss Dr. Cat.
	He will be back with his regular owners, assuming that some of this COVID stupidity calms down and they can get him down to the United States without worrying about spending two weeks locked up.
	Because, oh no, you went to a country that's exactly the same as this one, so maybe you have COVID.
	Ridiculous.
	Anyway, he's happy where he's at, even though he absolutely hated the drive over.
	You should have heard it.
	He caterwalled the whole way.
	He would not stop.
	He just hates driving.
	But he liked where he landed.
	Anyway, what's the most controversial way to get this stream started?
	There is no such thing as atheism.
	Or there is, but it's irrelevant.
	Okay?
	Atheism is not the issue.
	What it boils down to is whether you acknowledge God or you reject that, call God a tyrant and you rebel against him and call yourself God.
	So if you take, if you take the atheist that acknowledges that two plus two equals four and that mathematics is something we discovered, not something that we invented.
	If you take the atheist that acknowledges that honesty, integrity, virtue, courage, beauty, that these are all things that have a meaningful existence that we don't get to choose.
	We don't get to choose what we consider beautiful.
	Beauty just is.
	You can't be argued out of beauty.
	You can't be argued out of truth.
	If you see truth and you understand truth, you can't be convinced otherwise.
	So if you take that sort of person, well, they have a God.
	They acknowledge that there is this higher set of things that's more powerful than they are.
	And that they are within, they are a subset of all the sets.
	They are a subset of reality.
	And so they might say that this metaphysical embodiment of truth and beauty and goodness and whatnot, I don't think it has a personality.
	I don't think it intervenes in daily life.
	But I acknowledge that in a metaphysical sense, there is a truth that's bigger than me.
	And that the best thing I can do, all I can do, is to serve that truth.
	So right there, you got an atheist that believes in God.
	Doesn't fully grok the weight of God, but understands God.
	Tacticat.
	Tacticat was the cat I was looking after for a while there.
	He was a bit of a princess, but he was a good cat.
	He is a very good cat.
	Now, on the other hand, you have people that look at reality and hate it.
	They are not satisfied with reality.
	They think they could make reality better.
	And so on that side, that is where you get the Gnostics.
	That is where you get the Marxists.
	That is where you get the anarchist collectives.
	And there's plenty of, and yeah, plenty of these people are atheists, but they're atheists in a completely different way from the non-religious person that just doesn't believe in the supernatural.
	Sounds like that anti-work, Chud.
	And this is actually a perfect example of that.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm seeing the visual flickers on my end right here.
	I wonder, could I...
	What I could do...
	Nope, no, I was going to see if I could decrease the quality, but I'm already at the lowest quality.
	Stop all the downloading.
	So, if you guys haven't heard about this, because I think this is a case study.
	in precisely how Gnostic revolutions occur.
	Gnostic Marxist revolutions.
	And it's funny on top of that.
	So there's this Reddit.
	I know.
	Degeneracy on Reddit?
	You won't believe it, but there was some degeneracy over on the Reddits there.
	And it's this, it's this, it's a Reddit on Reddit called Anti-Work.
	Now, there's a lot of people.
	I will be one of the first people to criticize the way we treat employees, to point out the minimum wage should be a lot higher than it actually is.
	That one of the number one reasons we need to stop immigration is because the immigrants are taking jobs from teenagers.
	Right?
	So teenagers, yeah, guess what?
	It sucks working at McDonald's.
	That's a great job for teenagers.
	It's like, here, life sucks.
	Wear a hat.
	Here's a paycheck.
	You get to buy a shitty car and get those stickers that look like gunholes and bullet holes.
	You can put them all over the windows.
	Be real cool.
	And you earned it.
	And you learned that work sucks, but work is also the only way that you get to have a car.
	So, hmm.
	Maybe I should get a job that pays more.
	But we got a really, really messed up economy right now.
	We've got a lot of jobs that are very abusive, downright exploitative.
	And so about half the people on this anti-work Reddit are people like that.
	They're pointing out, like, I work 40, 60 hours a week, and I can barely pay my damned bills.
	I have to do a Walmart cheer every time I'm at work.
	I have really just mean, cruel managers.
	Not that they're making me work all the time, but they're making me jump through pointless hoops because they have power over me.
	And that this whole work culture and the low pay, etc., etc., like this is messed up.
	If you work 40 hours a week, you ought to be able to afford decent food and a decent roof over your head.
	I mean, for God's sakes, the 21st century.
	We can all afford fancy phones, but a lot of people have trouble with the basic necessities.
	This is ridiculous.
	This is not how a functional society runs.
	And they are completely correct.
	Complex reasons behind that.
	We're not going to be diving into domestic and foreign policy.
	I'm just saying, they got every reason in the world to be pissed off.
	And then, you've got the Marxist radicals.
	In this case, the anarcho-syndicalists.
	And so this is where it all gets funny.
	So, Fox News, being the disingenuous, manipulative, lying, journalistic scum that they are, exactly the same as CNN, decided to interview one of the moderators of this forum.
	And what do you know?
	The moderator's a Janny.
	And the moderator is upset because she, this particular individual, works, get this, 10 hours a week as a dog walker.
	And it's making it really hard for her to become an adjunct professor of psychology.
	What do they say about students of psychology again, people?
	And it gets extra funny because she got, she got kicked.
	She got banned from the very Reddit that she was moderating for making such an ass out of the entire movement.
	Now, this was, let me say again, this was extremely disingenuous of Fox and because I didn't actually see the interview, right?
	But it's journalists.
	Never speak to journalists.
	Even if you're a radical leftoid, don't speak to journalists.
	You know, unless if you're a radical leftoid with all the political connections and you've had drinks with that journalist 10 times before, don't talk to journalists.
	You are not being interviewed so that you can share your message with the world.
	You are a product to be eaten alive on camera.
	And that's exactly what happened to this Jani.
	It was a she-hee.
	It looked like a woman to me.
	No, it didn't.
	And so people were outraged when they found out.
	Wait, you're on this Reddit.
	You're moderating this Reddit.
	And you only work 10 hours a week?
	Like, excuse me, I'm working two jobs right now and I can barely pay the bills.
	I am insulted by you being here.
	And the Janny responded, you don't understand.
	This isn't an anarchist.
	We're not liberal gradualists.
	Which, by the way, if you've been listening to new discourses, that should ring some bells.
	We're not gradualists.
	We're not looking for liberal reforms.
	We are radical anarchists.
	It doesn't matter if you are only working one hour a week.
	too many hours.
	In fact, the last thing that a Marxist wants is reforms.
	You see, if we...
	If we fixed the economy and the minimum wage, like nobody even cared about the minimum wage because McDonald's, as, who was it?
	Yeah, Tradesman Lloyd says McDonald's pays higher than minimum wage where he lives.
	Probably not that much, but it pays more because they have to.
	And, you know, if I could wave a magic wand, well, first I'd double world hunger and triple student debt.
	But if I was in a good mood, I would wave the magic wand and suddenly it wouldn't matter what the minimum wage was because McDonald's would be paying 20 bucks an hour.
	This is the last thing the Marxists would want to happen.
	Because...
	Because if people are getting wealthy, if people are being treated well at work, if they are enjoying their lives, and they even have a few extra dollars to spend on some rubber testicles for their pickup truck, then they don't have any Marxist foot soldiers.
	And so, what you see in this anti-work Reddit, I mean, like, I don't even have to dig into this.
	All right?
	Like, you can go dig into it if you want.
	You're going to find out that I'm right.
	But I can already tell you: the people that set up this Reddit were not a bunch of disaffected wages.
	The people that set it up were Marxists.
	And they set it up to attract the wage as their foot soldier army for these radical tear down the entire system, reset society, these insane Gnostic dreams of theirs.
	Let's see Wipe witchcrum off the table.
	It's probably just, well, maybe there was something.
	don't know.
	Isn't it funny that the whole thing was shut down thanks to one living embodiment of a chud exploited by Dino News?
	Oh, yeah, so I got again, it's the news.
	They're lying scumbags, including Fox News.
	Even when they're on our side, they're all lying scumbags.
	That's what a journalist is.
	It's not like because they give lip service to our values that they're suddenly a decent human being.
	They aren't.
	But this worked out well for us.
	And guys, this is exactly how the Russian Revolution happened.
	Right?
	This is how Pol Pot came to power.
	This is how Mao came to power.
	Every single time, there's people that are feeling disaffected, and some disingenuous, lying, Gnostic Marxist rises up and captures them and turns them into an army.
	And they don't want to empower the army.
	want to disempower the army.
	It's worth visiting the Marxist conception of work.
	What did Marx think work was?
	Well, he broke it down into three categories: activity, work, and labor.
	So activity is what animals do because animals can't conceive of whether it now he is absolutely, absolutely completely wrong.
	Like literally, DNA knows what it's up to.
	Okay?
	Like this idea that when we discover, oh, we discovered the mechanism Darwin pointed towards.
	It's like, no, not entirely.
	No, not entirely.
	DNA is extremely complex.
	It's an active agent.
	It makes choices about what it is doing.
	It's not merely passive.
	It's not just a set of instructions.
	DNA will turn genes on, turn others off.
	There is genetic memory that gets encoded into the gametes and passed on to the offspring.
	DNA is way more intelligent than we give it credit for.
	But okay, fine, sure, Marx.
	Animals aren't intelligent.
	It's just all instinctual behavior.
	Okay, sure.
	But with man, man is the unique.
	The unique one that can conceive of something and then men, like, orchestrate that out in the world.
	Now, because Marxists reject the notion of the divine.
	See, if you acknowledge the divine, if you acknowledge even the metaphysical principle of the divine.
	So you're one of these theistic atheists.
	You acknowledge that beauty, goodness, and truth are bigger than you.
	If you're one of these theistic atheists, then you recognize that man is the peak of evolution.
	We are the most intelligent animal that there is.
	And I mean, like, people are like, oh, dolphins don't have war.
	Yeah, they have rape and they have gang fights, but I guess they don't technically have war.
	Good for them.
	No, like, man is the most intelligent animal that we're aware of.
	But being at the peak doesn't make you God.
	Man cannot redefine reality.
	However, if you're a Marxist, you hold man fundamentally separate from animals.
	That man has the creative spark.
	And since there is no God, that must mean that man is God.
	And so this is why labor comes in one of two forms.
	There is work.
	And work is when you have no longer been individuated.
	You have embraced the correct communist theory and you have gone back to the pre-conscious communal man.
	Right?
	Like, once upon a time, there was communal man.
	And man just did whatever he chose to do.
	This is sort of like when you have a day off and you're working on your project, that is Marxist work.
	Right?
	Because you're not being sort of.
	I mean, like you, if you're a painter, you bought your painting supplies from somebody, and that's individuation and capitalism and enslavement and tyranny.
	But, you know, you're sort of just doing what you feel compelled to do.
	I'm going to cook dinner.
	I'm going to fix the car.
	And so that's sort of like the Marxist work.
	And that's what we're all supposed to be doing.
	We just need to force everybody to accept the correct Marxist theory.
	And then we'll all be doing that and we'll all be subconscious again.
	Then you have labor.
	And labor, by its very definition, is exploitative because you have not embraced the true communist theory.
	You labor to get money so you can buy balls for your truck.
	That means you're a slave.
	And in fact, if we go right back to the very beginning, the very first slave master, according to Marxist theory, was God.
	God is, even though God's not real, God was the embodiment of you don't get to pick your reality.
	You have to accept the reality that is.
	If you want your truck balls, you have to go work at the box factory.
	Why?
	Because God said so.
	And so either it was that the first tyrant, the first evil tyrant arose and hoarded all of the meat and said that you have to, you have to give me a blow job if you want some of my meat.
	And from that, the image of God was created.
	Why?
	Because I am the representative of God.
	God gave me all the meat to distribute.
	Or maybe it was a psychological error.
	Man became alienated from himself, failed to realize that he himself was God, and he could make up whatever values he wanted.
	And instead, he enslaved himself to this cruel system from the Demiurge.
	You really can't escape it.
	Right?
	Saying, I don't believe in magic spirits.
	Well, good for you.
	but you either believe in God or you believe in nothing.
	Let's see.
	So Lenniel says, we're all going to be in foxholes in Ukraine soon fighting for global home and I'm not a chance.
	I'm not fighting Russia.
	Like, I am not going to go so far as to say I would consider Russia to be a liberator from Trudeau, But I sure as hell ain't fighting for Ottawa.
	No Russian has ever called me...
	Actually, I guess they just call us Albertans, right?
	But they say it in a really rude way.
	And yes, space trains, I'm on the road right now.
	Look at my beautiful hotel room.
	And yeah, Karl Marx never even had a job.
	He was financially spoiled by Frederick Engels while his wife and kids were back in Britain eating, you know, eating sawdust.
	And like one of the kids froze to death because his wife couldn't afford coal while he was getting drunk in the salons of Europe.
	What a piece of trash that man was.
	I think COVID has been more of a conflict point.
	I think for...
	It's, I mean, COVID's ginned up.
	It's being used by the system, right?
	Real disease that was created by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the same guy that was responsible for millions of people dying during the dying during the late 80s because he was treating AIDS with AZT.
	And actually, AZT just killed everybody that he gave it to.
	Yeah, I would rather die for Taiwan as well.
	Send all the statist bootlickers that think we're all in this together because Big Daddy government said so.
	Oh, exactly.
	Send all the Karens.
	Send all the Jannys.
	Yeah, no more brother wars.
	Oh boy.
	See, truck balls.
	This is something I think it was.
	I'm pretty sure New Discourses brought it up.
	The Marxists absolutely hate stuff like that.
	Right?
	Like, yeah, I think they're stupid.
	I think you could spend your money on better things, but it's your money.
	You earned it.
	Like, these stupid, ugly, smelly working class people earn that money.
	They can spend it on whatever the hell they like.
	You know, if I anytime, like, and there have been times I've criticized, like, why do they spend money on that?
	Right?
	When I criticize that, let's see, is it okay?
	We're back.
	I'm thinking cut out for a second.
	I will criticize them because I will say, don't waste your money on that scam.
	Right?
	It's like you're getting played by the sons of bitches that are running this toxic society.
	Don't get played by them.
	But, you know, you want to get something stupid.
	You want to get truck balls.
	You want to get a singing fish for your wall.
	I mean, go right ahead.
	Just don't blow all your money on it.
	Right?
	I think it's dumb, but your money.
	You do what you want with it.
	Go make yourself happy.
	Whereas the Marxists, they are angry that people have the freedom to enjoy something like that.
	Like, it really makes them angry because those people should be our slaves.
	Instead, the capitalists are giving them money and they're rich.
	Hey, Senator, toss a link to your work.
	Now, why did all of this come about?
	How do we get to the point where these Marxists are just overwhelming our institutions?
	Why is it?
	Why the hell do we have this separation of church and state?
	Now, listen, on the one hand, separation of church and state is, this has been European tradition for 1,500 years.
	Right?
	And it's actually just a darned good idea.
	You want the warriors running society and you want the intellectuals running the church.
	And you want to keep them separated because those are two different domains.
	There's a lot of relatively minor sins that, if allowed to run rampant, will tear apart civilization.
	And there's a whole bunch of major sins that won't tear apart civilization, but will damn souls.
	So they're really, they're different magisterial.
	It's good to keep them separated.
	But why is it put into law so damned hard in the United States to the point where we have to pretend that religion is separate from everything else?
	See, this is the point I'm getting at, by saying that you really don't get to be an atheist.
	You get to be an atheist on the side of God, or you get to be an atheist on the side of worshipping yourself.
	Now, you know, I don't know the man's inner soul, but when I read Richard Dawkins, for example, there's a guy that is on the God side of things, for the most part.
	I'm sure you can find instances where he thinks himself a little bit too clever.
	I'm sure you can find plenty of those.
	You can find those for any man that lives.
	But on the whole, Dawkins is about appreciating the beauty of nature and understanding nature.
	Right?
	So he's putting himself below the god of science, of objective reality.
	Contrast to somebody like Marx.
	Contrast to these radical anarchist jannies that put themselves above the laws of economics.
	Karl Marx the Satanist?
	Well...
	Well, yeah.
	Satan doesn't want you to worship him.
	Satan wants you to worship yourself.
	What's this?
	Hmm.
	Interesting.
	So Ilya Leonid points out that, yeah, the Catholic Church also wanted to keep the monarchies out of the church.
	They didn't want the church to become profaned into daily politics.
	And there were other times when you had priests going around becoming a little bit too political and turning everything into some radical, crazy cult.
	And you had European monarchs that would, you know, dress like peasants and go murder the priest that was causing too much trouble.
	It's like, okay, church, you stay out of politics, we'll stay out of religion, right?
	And we'll work together as opposed to fighting one another.
	The last thing you want is to be ruled over by a theocrat.
	All right?
	Somebody that knows what's best for you.
	They make terrible rulers.
	Just look at what we have right now with the whole medical tyranny.
	It's really no different.
	You don't want healers to be ruling.
	You want practical men that put their money where their mouth is, that understand how to gamble.
	want warriors to be ruling i mean just like one of the things as as a soldier you work in such an extremely high stress environment that and and obedience is so freaking important like
	Like, you wind up with, you know, you can be a pretty crazy person, but as long as you follow orders and you're reliable, you are part of the team.
	There's a lot of soldiers that aren't lawful good.
	Now, the point I'm getting at with all of this is that as soon as you excise God from religion, as soon as you excise God from education, as soon as you exile God from science, you just opened up a massive vulnerability.
	Because you don't get any of these things without God.
	That's why it's so interesting listening to new discourses how he now he's doing philosophy.
	Okay, all of his video studying Marxism is it transmitting audio right now.
	I don't know if it was transmitting audio.
	Oh well.
	He tiptoes around the fact that God is the cornerstone of all of this.
	If you do not acknowledge a higher power, a higher truth, a higher absolute to the universe than your own opinion, you don't get to have the scientific method.
	The whole science of psychology is such a perfect example of this.
	Because what is psychology fundamentally?
	Psychology is addressing disorders in the human mind, the human soul.
	And to address a disorder is to imply that there is a correct order.
	Ooh, getting a little bit too close to religion, aren't we?
	And so what you will find is that psychology is hamstrung by its inability to affirm the correct way of living, the correct moral life.
	And so now, is it any surprise?
	See, I was going to say this as a joke.
	The device is too hot?
	The device is not that hot.
	Oh geez, it is kind of hot.
	Device stop being so hot.
	Here.
	Here, warm up the...
	Oh wait.
	That's a nice cold bottle of water.
	There, now you're liquid-cooled.
	Okay, device?
	Be liquid-cooled.
	See how that goes.
	Is it being all janky?
	Nah, it's okay now.
	Hmm.
	You want me to close the other apps that are open?
	All right, let's.
	I want to all right there.
	We are going again.
	Maybe we are.
	We'll see if this screws up the recording or not.
	Let's just get a laptop.
	Alright, are you going again?
	Oh, yeah, there it's going again.
	Finally.
	So I was saying, I was going to bring this up as a joke.
	Except that it really, it really isn't a joke.
	Man goes up to his psychologist.
	Gee, Doc, could you help me be better at molesting children without getting caught?
	And on what grounds does a psychologist say, well, you really shouldn't be molesting children on what grounds?
	And I was going to say that was a joke, but it really isn't.
	Not everybody who molests a child is a pedophile, according to the New Yorker, according to psychology.
	Because without that, without that cornerstone of God, that truth, beauty, objective reality, that these are bigger than us, without that cornerstone, You don't get to have any derived statements.
	You don't get science without God.
	You don't get philosophy without God.
	Without humility before God.
	And so what you get instead, what you guys said is a big gaping hole that Gnosticism can charge through.
	And that's exactly what it has done.
	That is exactly how we see Marxism taking all of this over.
	And well, why do we have this issue?
	Video still being funky, eh?
	Gee, it really is.
	What is your malfunction?
	It's not that hot.
	It could just be cooler as all.
	It's not, I mean, it's kind of warm in here.
	I turn the heat up.
	It's a hotel.
	Why not?
	All right, use the overheating protection.
	Oh, I can just lower the screen brightness.
	Yeah, we'll do that.
	Oh, there's Brighton.
	No, I don't want flashlight.
	I want to lower brightness.
	How do I lower brightness phone?
	My goodness.
	There we go.
	Do it, man.
	Maybe?
	Oh.
	There, now it's super dark.
	All right, hopefully that will work.
	I can barely see the screen.
	Ugh, it's always something around here, ain't it?
	And I don't see any warnings about overheating, so maybe we are okay.
	Is it streaming, though?
	It is counting out.
	Oh, look there.
	I can see myself.
	All right.
	Yeah, I just need to get a frickin' laptop and a webcam, don't I?
	Second paycheck.
	Second paycheck, that's what I'm doing.
	So where did all of this come from?
	And, well, Martin Luther.
	Guys, I'm sorry, but that's the answer.
	Right?
	I'm so tired of brother wars.
	Believe me, I am.
	But it is what it is.
	It be like it do.
	See, imagine this.
	Imagine if America had been founded by Catholics and Eastern Orthodox.
	Would we have had this massive division between church and state?
	Would it have been enshrined so aggressively?
	Because again, like we've had separation of church and state for a very, very long time.
	And the reason that we felt the desire to formalize it into a statement was because of the radical politicization of faith that happened after the Protestant Reformation.
	Now, if you take Catholics and Eastern Orthodox, I mean, I don't even know what the difference is.
	The theology is the same.
	Like, they've been separated for the better part of millennium, but they still agree on all the important points of theology.
	There, priests who aren't bishops can get married.
	Catholic priests can't.
	Catholic priests are probably a lot happier.
	But aside from that, like, there's no real argument happening between the two of them.
	And so, I would imagine that an America that was founded by Catholics and Eastern Orthodoxies would develop a Lord's Prayer for the classroom that both sides could agree on and didn't favor one or the other.
	You know, they would say, no preference shall be given to Orthodox or Catholic.
	They would have a law saying no priests are allowed to serve in the role of elected representative.
	Right?
	Because we do want to keep the priests out.
	Priests, you know, they're great when they're a priest.
	Last thing you want is a priest for a general.
	So, yeah, you keep the priests away from the levers of political power.
	That seems quite wise.
	But, like, why would we get religion out of schools?
	It's like, okay, we don't want to get, we don't want the kids fighting over Catholic or Eastern Orthodox.
	That's a stupid waste of time.
	Nobody even knows the difference either.
	It's like something that the bishops should really deal with and they should get that thing fixed.
	Give them another 150 years, okay?
	We're not in a huge rush.
	Just like, could you guys fix this?
	Because us lay people, you know, we don't really know what's going on.
	We're a bit confused, but get around to fixing that at some point.
	That'd be nice.
	Thank you.
	But you wouldn't need to kick religion out of schools.
	It's the Protestant Reformation.
	And guys, I'm really not trying to be belligerent here.
	You know, if you come by your Protestant faith honestly, then all the power to you.
	The issue that I see is that there are so many Protestants that they just seem to walk around with a chip on their shoulder being angry at Catholics all the time.
	That is an excellent Pepe Orabel.
	General Priest sounds pretty awesome, though.
	That's what you have paladins for.
	Oh, I remember like Spoony posted a video about how he doesn't understand the paladin class.
	It's like, you already have a holy warrior.
	It's called a cleric.
	But like, no, clerics are a support role.
	They are healers.
	Priests are healers.
	They are very necessary on the battlefield.
	You need a priest on the battlefield.
	However, you can't have a priest as a general.
	You need a warrior for a general.
	So, when you think about these Marxists just taking over all the institutions, thank Martin Luther.
	Thank the guy that consulted with the devil in his dreams and then decided to split the church because, well, the devil didn't.
	The devil was just right.
	I only agreed with the devil because he had a good point.
	Oh, thanks, Martin Luther.
	That's just fantastic.
	And so Martin Luther splits the church, politicizes the church.
	Because of course, how does he split the church?
	Well, he goes and finds some nobles that will support his cause because of their claim to a throne.
	And so suddenly, religion became political.
	And as soon as that happened, the tiny hat signed up to help Martin Luther.
	Yes, let's translate that Bible into the Vulgate and send it all over Europe.
	We will help smuggle it for you.
	And then we have 300 years of religious war in Europe.
	Here's the thing.
	You know, the nobility, they saw an opportunity.
	They said, oh, if we politicize religion, then we get the fervor of religion supporting our politics.
	And it's like, yeah, that's a good idea for the short term.
	That'll help you win the next battle.
	But long term, oh boy.
	Oh boy.
	Long term, you have just empowered crazy people.
	Look at all the crap that they had to deal with in England.
	England is such a nice, succinct example of this.
	where they the king creates Anglicanism so he can divorce his wife.
	I mean, like, really, buddy?
	You want to divorce your wife to, you know, grab political power, and you are willing to split the church and politicize religion to do that.
	Well, that sounds like a good foundation for a faith.
	I don't know how Anglicans do it.
	I really don't.
	But then, thanks to that, England becomes a hotbed of all sorts of hot-headed heretics.
	You got the Diggers, who, by the way, were the original communists, right?
	You've got the Puritans, who were so toxic they got kicked out of the country.
	And then when it founded America, how'd that turn out?
	When you politicize faith, you open up the gates of hell.
	are now granting license to every lunatic on the block.
	It is not dissimilar from how the current power establishment is trying to employ abusive psychology to maintain power, right?
	They are They are gaslighting people.
	And they've been doing this for a century, right?
	They've been using Bernay's methodology, which inverts Freud.
	Freud was whatever flaws he had, Freud was trying to heal people and help people.
	Sometimes he was doing a bit of the old bloodletting rather than the healing, but he was trying to heal people.
	Bernays flipped on its head and said, how can we induce neuroses in people so that they will buy our product?
	And they got really, really good at that.
	And they've been hammering the buy our product button so freaking hard that they've driven over half the population completely bat shit crazy.
	And it's like, yeah, having batshit crazy people, it's really easy to get elected.
	You say, hey, Orange Man bad, and all these screaming Heritans will vote for you.
	Okay, but now you're the ruler of a bunch of screaming Heritans.
	not so good anymore.
	God, you know, it's not like the world was perfect before Martin Luther.
	But man, he's just one of those guys that the error he made, the bad blood he kicked up, the way he exploited valid concerns.
	Valid concerns, valid complaints.
	I mean, you won't find a Catholic alive who won't point out that there's always been problems in the Vatican.
	Of course they are.
	It's an institution.
	As soon as you get an institution, you get corruption.
	Where do you find corruption?
	In institutions!
	Some of your peanut butter got into my chocolate.
	Yeah.
	Welcome to the world.
	Life sucks.
	Wear a hat.
	Go to work.
	Pay your damn bills.
	And, you know, maybe you get to buy some truck balls someday.
	So, of course, there were valid complaints.
	But then, no, Martin Luther kicks up a bunch of dirt.
	And let's be frank.
	This is mainly about his own ego.
	In the same way, the Janny that is complaining about working two hours a day walking dogs.
	I work two hours a day and I can't afford the new iPhone.
	Really, kid, that Jannie's fundamental complaint is not with the free market economic system.
	It's with daddy.
	It's with God.
	You know, I saw this post by, it was on 4chan.
	And the poster said, like, honest to God, Marxist here, could we please get the Jannies out of the movement?
	And it's like, well, of course, you can't.
	Your movement engenders that.
	Huh.
	Ha ha.
	engenders it now as i've said before i actually have a lot of sympathy for transsexuals I think there's a lot of complexity to it, and I don't immediately just, yada, yada, yada, yada.
	Yeah?
	Right?
	I am not a monolithic thinker.
	old figure.
	That being said, when the foundation, see our foundation is that God made reality the way it is.
	I think mustaches are stupid as hell, but I guess I kind of look good in one, so I guess I'm wearing one.
	Plus, you can't have a beard.
	Gas mask doesn't work.
	And it's just the way God made me.
	Right?
	I would have liked to have a whole head of hair and no mustache.
	But I guess that's not how God made me, so I accept his creation.
	If you fundamentally view the creator, the father, as a tyrant, then why wouldn't you alter everything?
	You would prove that you are the true God.
	You are the true creator by even going so far as to alter your sex.
	So it is no accident that so many of the people pursuing this belief system become Jannies.
	And yeah, I believe that there is always an exception to every rule.
	There is always an exception to every rule.
	That said, most of these people are just making a point against daddy.
	Look at me.
	I am the author of myself.
	I am the ultimate creator.
	No accident.
	Can it really be considered work if it's two hours?
	Again, this person, this person, here's another interesting aspect as well.
	A lot of it comes back to the principle of suffering.
	What is suffering and why is there suffering?
	And it's a pretty, it's an extremely profound question.
	I do recommend C.S. Lewis's book on it.
	I think you can find the audio book on YouTube.
	You used to be able to.
	It's a fantastic treatise on it.
	Really enjoyed it.
	Peterson addresses this quite a bit, right?
	And his argument is that you should find something meaningful enough to justify suffering.
	And there is this interesting aspect of reality that after a hard day's work, you actually do feel good about yourself.
	Even if you're working a really shitty job, you do feel good about all the suffering that you just went through.
	In a certain sense, suffering is the price of consciousness.
	An animal can suffer in the moment, but it can't suffer existentially the way a man can.
	You don't get to be conscious without implicit suffering.
	And of course, this was, that is, it is such a short treatment.
	I mean, there is incredible suffering in the world.
	If you take somebody whose kid just died of cancer and say, well, find something meaningful.
	It's like, no, I'm not trying to minimize either the extent of actual suffering that people have endured or to trivialize the question.
	It's a big, big question, and I'm giving it a very brief treatment.
	But the answer seems to be something like, suffering can be worth it.
	What the Marxist, the nihilist, or the Gnostic seems to want is to crawl back into the womb, is to flee from consciousness.
	That's one of the things that really struck me about New Discourse's stream on all of it.
	See, the Marxist plan, which, it's never actually going to work, but...
	See, the problem is that you can't actually prove it because everybody needs to be a Marxist.
	As long as there is one person that is not a Marxist, it's not real Marxism yet.
	I know, it's psychotic, but that is their faith.
	But even ignoring that, this idea that we need to get everybody to adopt the same consciousness, the same theory of Marxism, which is, by the way, people like me...
	according to them, I have false consciousness.
	I am defending the evil demiurge that has tricked me into being a slave to him and earning money and following the rules and cis being cis is a form of tyranny.
	And if I were truly liberated, I would become a Jani as well, just to prove my own creative potential.
	Ad nauseum.
	The world described by all of that, the world where we no longer have the individuated man, but rather the collective, the communal man, where all believe the same thing and think the same thing, and they don't labor because they're forced to.
	They work at whatever they choose.
	It really strikes me as man descending into a pre-conscious state.
	It's crawling back into the womb.
	And that seems to be what the Marxists want.
	That the suffering implicit in being conscious.
	That's what they object to.
	Now, yes, animals plan, but not to the same extent as man does.
	I guess that would probably be the big difference.
	Now, Marx says that they just engage in activity, which is absurd.
	No, they do plan.
	But their planning tends to be, how do I get from here to there?
	It's all very instrumental and related.
	Whereas the sort of plans you come up with as a man is, if I go and do this difficult job for eight hours, I will earn money to go get the thing that I like.
	And that's a different type of suffering.
	It's a conscious, it's a willful choice to, it's not I have to climb over the spiky bush to get over there.
	It's I'm going to go on this long deviated path to get to where I want to be.
	And I don't have to.
	I don't have to go do all that suffering.
	I could just sit right here.
	But if I want to own the sports car, I need to do all of that.
	And so that's a little bit unique to man.
	Like an animal understands it might have to do something it doesn't want to do, but not to the same complex extent.
	And that seems to be the suffering that Marxists, that Gnostics are primarily objecting to.
	Knowledge of our own death.
	Not just our death, but knowledge of aging.
	The uncertainty that comes with all of that.
	Fear of suffering seems to be at the core of Gnosticism, of Marxism.
	This and you even see this on the basic level.
	Like, this whole concept that society is some sort of massive, tyrannical conspiracy designed to make you suffer.
	You know, it's one thing to say that working conditions aren't great.
	We could improve them.
	No need to increase suffering for no reason.
	The radicals want to completely eliminate it.
	I have not read that book by him either.
	But, I mean, I'm.
	Broken Clock is right twice a day.
	Can't know joy without the possibility of suffering.
	Ample News says, I would say respect and watch this.
	I will give that a shot.
	I mean, can I open it and I opened it here?
	Awesome, so I got that open.
	And, guys, I think that is, wait, can't I?
	Open it in the browser, don't.
	Don't open it in D-Live.
	What's your malfunction?
	Oh, nonsense.
	I'll try opening it on the phone.
	Anyway, where to finish off?
	So he's complaining about being overheated again once, you know, put the, cool it off with the bottle.
	So yeah, I'm going to get the stream shut down.
	So yeah, I'm working now.
	So I don't know what my schedule is going to be like, but I think I might be still streaming on occasion.
	I just can't quite dedicate myself to something really specific, specific schedule.
	These videos do get uploaded to Odyssey afterwards.
	And okay, this is what I'm going to leave you with.
	So this has this subversive Gnostic philosophy has absolutely infiltrated our education systems.
	Definitely check out New Discourses.
	He digs into this a lot and we are, I mean, forget about the whole COVID aspect of what's going on, that mass psychosis, even.
	Even without that, forgetting about COVID, we have reached a point where we are very potentially close to a Maoist revolution.
	Kids that have just been taught that their parents are evil tyrants with false consciousness, that becoming a cat, becoming a Janny, becoming whatever, that this is the way.
	And that if we can only just burn everything down on the other side of it is endless joy and happiness.
	The hour is getting very late.
	And I would say that part of the solution is to take a is to embrace the concept.
	As my friend Bodes put it, we are here on earth to level up spiritually.
	What good is it saying that you follow Christ if all the other words that come out of your mouth are just toxic and nasty and cruel?
	We need to get right with God.
	We are here to become the sort of people that could get along with the sort of people in heaven.
	And so, carpe futurum.
	Tenetratitum.
	Thank you for tuning in.
	This video will be up on Odyssey, hopefully within the next 48 hours.
	Although I'll have to see if I can get it working on my phone.
	And as for when I'll be here next, you know, keep an eye on the Twitters there.
	And hopefully I'll get the damn hosting company to fix my website soon.
