Our afternoon speaker is Paul Ramsey, known to the world.
Thank you.
He is known and much beloved under the name of Ramsey Paul, and he's been putting up videos on YouTube since 2008, and his specialty...
He's taking the stuffing out of contemporary foolishness so he has an unending supply of good material.
He has a rare knack for discussing serious subjects in a clever and humorous way.
I wish I had that knack.
But it has earned him tens of thousands of YouTube channel subscribers and millions of views, which makes him sort of a one-man anti-MSNBC.
This is Ramsey Paul's third occasion to be speaking to an American Renaissance conference, and last year he was the after-dinner speaker, and many people told me that they thought it was absolutely the highlight of the conference.
So it's with great anticipation that we look forward to his talk on the red pill.
Please welcome Ramsey Paul.
Hey, how you guys doing?
Doing good?
Good, good.
I'll put this here.
I don't like to stand behind the podium because I get nervous.
And I'm more vulnerable here.
And I do get really scared when I speak.
Oh, do I have to be back here?
No, that's okay.
I'll just dance around it.
I do have one request, though.
I learned this from progressives, and I hope that we can be...
Oh, wow.
I hope we can be progressives here.
And this is serious, because I learned this from feminists, is that when you clap, if we don't...
Please don't clap if you can use jazz hands.
Do you guys know that?
Can you practice jazz hands, everyone?
Jazz hands?
Yeah, and that's serious, because it can trigger reactions in people, so I don't want that.
And I'm trying to get in the light here.
Okay, I'll stand over here.
One of the things I've also learned is I really do have stage fright because I do my videos.
And in my videos, it's just me in a room and I can re-edit.
And so it's uncomfortable for me here.
And one of the things, when I had my first job, this was years ago, the guy said...
Whenever you get nervous, just imagine everyone naked.
So I'm just imagining all of you naked right now.
But I don't think it was really appropriate for him to say that because my first job, I was an elementary school teacher, so I don't know.
I don't know.
All right, I thought I'd kick it off with a pedophile joke.
I'm sure the SPLC agent will write that down.
Well, maybe not with Dear Morris' divorce.
No, I won't go into that.
Yeah, well, we'll strike that.
The SPLC, and a lot of people don't know this, so I just want to go over this, because I have the video.
Is that the camera over there?
I don't know where the camera is.
But this is just, what, a couple hundred people, and really, I really appreciate all your people here.
But really, the views are into the YouTube, right?
Michael, my last video got, what, 35,000 views?
The largest stadium or arena in Tulsa, you couldn't get all that people, many people in it.
So that's where the people are.
So I have to explain some things.
Like the SPLC, they're the Southern Poverty Law Center, but they're not really Southerners and they're not really poverty.
And they're mostly, I think they started out people like that they were trying to prevent the KKK from killing poor black kids.
But now they think they can determine what people say or don't say.
And they usually put, at least the first year I was here, 2013, they had like a spy in here.
So I'm always wondering who the spy is.
And, is it?
Okay. And, which I always thought was weird because this is kind of public.
I mean, you can sign up and go to this and you can...
They're on YouTube, for God's sakes.
So why do you need a spy for that?
Do they send spies to, like, the Denver Bronco game or something like that?
So anyway, SPLC, you can either write your notes or you can look at the video.
I think it would be easier just to write the video.
And I'll get to my speech here.
I'm just doing this prelim stuff first because I also have troubles, this is true, pronouncing words.
Because I always had, like, a speech disorder, and it really kind of upset me.
One of my videos, I had trouble like picture and picture.
You know, like you take a picture and you pour water out of a picture, but I always got that wrong.
So that was something I've been working on my enunciation because I have troubles with it.
I really do.
So I'm going to try to overcome that here, but we'll see how that happens.
So the good news is for people, does anyone else have stuttering?
I stuttered when I was a kid.
Anyone else did?
Yeah, yeah.
June 6th is National Stuttering Day.
D-Day, too.
So that works out well.
Let's see here.
Oh, okay.
I have this as Ceausescu.
He was the dictator of Romania.
No, not dictator.
Dictator. He was a dictator.
A dictator would be like Barney Frank, I guess.
So that's...
Anyway, that was his last days.
Might have to cut that part, too.
I've got to speak better.
Enunciation. Things can change fast, right?
I was in that square just a couple weeks ago because I wanted to go to Bucharest to try to write the speech and drink in a pub, kind of like an American.
And I'd be like an American in France, smoke, but I just mostly drank.
I didn't do the speech because I'm really bad at procrastination.
This is a true story.
I had a relative, not really close.
But she was sick, so I got a get well card.
And then I waited so long I had to go back to Walgreens.
I'm like, you know, can I exchange this get well card for a bereavement card?
So I waited a little too long for that one.
So anyway, this is his last speech.
And just two days later or three days later, he and his wife Elena was executed.
And Alina, yeah.
Yeah. They...
So that's how things can change really quick.
And you see the guy back there?
I think he's really pimping.
I like that.
That hat there.
I think that's a security agent.
And I was talking to some Romanians.
Those are secret police that they kept everyone in line.
They were kind of like the SPLC.
They always looked, if you say something bad, that would be counter-revolutionary.
I guess now it's called hate speech, but in there it's counter-revolutionary.
But it was just so unreal because he couldn't imagine anyone would go against the communist system.
And at this speech, they started to jeer him and boo him, which just seemed unreal to him.
He couldn't understand it.
So that's how things that can happen so quickly.
And I've always thought that if this had happened in our society, there'd be people, you know, come out and say, you know, Jared, I was always on your side.
I hope you realize that.
You know, a lot of people, they just wait to see how things go.
So change can happen fast.
I just have to see which way to go here.
Ah, the red pill!
I finally got to the point of my speech here, the red pill.
And a lot of people, you know, this isn't going to be about the man's fear or anything like that.
I just want to explain, some of the people don't know, what the hell is a red pill?
And the red pill is, did he even say the Matrix?
A lot of us saw the Matrix.
That's where it came from.
And in the Matrix, it really, all it was to represent is, I guess the Matrix was these humans were having their lives sucked out by these aliens, but they didn't know it because they're in a computer program or something.
But anyway, you could take the red pill or the blue pill, and with the blue pill, With the red pill, you could still be happy and live your illusions, but with the red pill, you could really see how things were, even though it may not be that perfect.
And that came from the Matrix.
So that's really all that means.
And the mansphere...
The manosphere, this is where the whole idea of the manosphere came.
They adopted the red pill terminology, but if you remember the movie The Matrix, it had nothing to do with the manosphere.
It's just looking at things the way they are.
And I was trying to figure out, what the hell is a manosphere?
You know, something that's not really defined, or the red pill.
The Red Pill, I looked up Wiki, and it says it uses the pill metaphor in reference to men realizing the truth that men are oppressed and women are in control.
And the Wiki, they sourced it from inside the Red Pill, the weird new cult of men who don't understand women.
So that's like, you know, Wiki, they can really source it, everything that's legit there.
Although I've been on a lot of Mansphere sites, and we have a guy that writes for The Return of the King.
I never saw that definition, but that's the way it was.
And let me explain the manosphere.
I won't go into this too much when I get into the speech.
But the manosphere, a lot of these things really aren't really defined well.
But the manosphere is near as I can figure.
There's the kind of the pickup artist types.
You know, there's those blogs.
And then you have the ones that are more of the...
Men's rights with divorce, custody, and so forth.
And then you have what I call the men going their own way.
And they're the ones that are more bitter type sort of people.
And the last ones are more the ones that are more the philosophical.
And that's kind of like the difference between men and women is more than just...
There's evolutionary reasons for it.
And that's kind of the more interesting one.
And so it's not all the caveman stuff.
Did you guys see the article?
Someone asked me about pornography, and they said they're going to ask a question about it.
But they recently found one of the earliest Neolithic pornography.
I think it was in France.
I don't know if any Europeans saw that.
I think it was called Two Girls, One Club.
And if you guys know that, you shouldn't be laughing at that joke.
Most people don't get that, and good for you.
I don't even want to explain that at all.
The mansphere is a rejection of the feminist...
So I couldn't find...
It's interesting.
I went to all these mansphere sites.
They talk about the red pill, but no one defined it.
I couldn't find any definition.
So I made up my definition, because why not?
Why can't I make up a definition?
So my definition is the rejection of the feminist doctrine that the gender is a social construct and that men and women are identical except reproductive organs.
So I made up that definition.
And I saw this quote I like.
It says the red pill teaches men to love and appreciate women as they are, not how they want them to be.
So that's kind of an awe, isn't it?
So that's a sweet moment.
So anyway.
I want to thank also, because a lot of people are concerned, oh, you don't want to say anything anti, and I'm not.
I really like women, so some of my best friends are women.
And I want to thank, there's so many women here, and I just thought if we could have a round of applause for all the women that have come here.
No, no, trigger.
You're triggering.
Trigger. No.
Shh. You're triggering.
Thank you, guys.
Jeez. Okay.
So if you want to find out what the red pill is or that whole philosophy, I'm not going to discuss it because that's not really the point of the manosphere.
I would recommend something like therationalmail.com.
That guy is pretty good.
He talks about it in a reasonable fashion, so you can check it out there.
Because a lot of this, how the women are, is you just have to...
When you took the red pill, you understand that there's differences.
And I didn't realize it.
I was blue pill for a long time.
And this is kind of a personal subject.
I guess I shouldn't...
I don't know if I should talk about it.
I was in college, and I didn't know women.
I thought I was just kind of naive, and I had this girlfriend.
Please don't say this.
I hope she's not watching, but she's old by now.
Anyway, we were going to go to Vegas, and she said, you know, Ramsey Paul, I have always wanted to be handcuffed.
I'm like, well, that's weird.
I didn't understand what she meant.
Now I understand the dominance thing, and alpha male, which I'm not, but I guess that sort of thing.
So what I did is, okay, she wants to be handcuffed.
She put a kilo of marijuana in her carry-on.
She got her wish, but the relationship ended.
So, what is a red pill?
How I defined it?
I defined it, and there's really a couple elements to this.
There's men and women, that's kind of evil psychology.
And I'm not really going to talk about that.
In fact, I already did talk about this.
My speech here at ANRAM has kind of been like a Tolkien trilogy, because in 2013 I did Sex and Nationalism.
Did anyone remember?
Wasn't he here for that speech?
Yeah, yeah, I did that one.
I've not done race because Ameren does a lot of good race stuff, but that's just that sometimes the races are different, and the red pills, you know, the blue pill is everything's equal.
There's no difference between the race except for the skin color, and we know that's not the case, but knowing that there are differences, that's a red pill idea.
Politics, dark enlightenment.
I did that last year.
And there were people here last year that saw that.
And again, that's the red pill.
Because the blue pill is that the most perfect thing is democracy and equality.
And the dark enlightenment is saying, well, maybe not.
Maybe the enlightenment wasn't the greatest thing after all.
Maybe democracy isn't the best political system.
So that was that.
What I'm going to talk about today is kind of a meta theory.
And I'm not really sure what it means.
I think it's a theory about the theory, but it's called scale.
And I'm going to put, and I've read a lot about this, is really a lot of the problems we have as our society is what's called out of scale.
And scale just means that we've had increased complexity, multiculturalism, and a globalized model.
And that really has increased over the years, I think we've all been a part of.
And this really started, this wasn't something that was really new when they talked about the scale.
There was someone named John Calhoun in the 70s, I believe.
He did a lot of rat experiments.
And he defined density as the proximity of competing organisms.
And at a certain level of density, there's a complete breakdown of social order.
That was his findings.
And the rat experiment, what he did is he put a bunch of rats together.
But what was different, it wasn't the traditional experiment of like what would happen if they run out of food resources.
Because when I grew up in the 70s, that was a big issue.
It was like we're running out of food, overpopulation and all that.
You don't hear that so much anymore.
But he did a little different experiment.
He said, what if I take a bunch of rats and I just provide all the food they want and I get rid of predators and I try to control diseases?
What will happen?
And he saw at a certain threshold they had various abnormal behaviors.
Now, that would be considered hate speech now because he considered homosexuality an animal behavior.
But back then it was considered that in the 60s and 70s.
But he saw a lot of the rats turn gay.
I didn't know they would turn gay, but they have male aggression.
They got hyper-aggressive, the males, or they became homosexual or hyper-sexuality.
And there was a lot of passivity and withdrawal from the rats.
Yeah, so that's kind of, you know, I was thinking like, well, yeah, that's how that we've become.
There's been a lot of males that, he said the rats became very solitary, and they focused on eating, sleeping, and grooming, and they became like autistic.
They didn't have much left in their life.
And there's also this thing called the behavioral sink, where all these rats just became huddled together in the middle of the pen, and they just kind of gave up, and they just kind of just lived.
And it's kind of like the rabbit herd mentality that we have today.
And he called this the first death.
And what he talked about the first death is long before the organisms will die, they cease to become what he called spiritually die.
Now, I don't think rats have souls.
I don't know if they do or not.
But he said that the behavior of both the sexes, it would break down.
And one or two things would happen.
The rats would either become autistic, where they could only focus on simple behaviors, or they would become very aggressive.
And he called it that the spirit would die.
And the rats would cease to be like regular rats.
And that guy's in leather.
Did you know 99% of women don't really like guys in leather pants?
Do women agree with that?
Yeah. But the thing is, 100% of the guys that wear leather pants really don't like women.
So you don't have to worry about that.
Okay, but you know what's interesting?
In a way, he was wrong, because humans really didn't show this tendency in being in cramped conditions, really.
And we think about, you know, now places like, that's Singapore.
Has anyone been to Singapore, by the way?
It's mostly Chinese.
I think John Darbyshire would know there.
John, have you ever been there?
Singapore? No, I've never been there.
Really, I've been in Kuala Lumpur, which is close to it.
But anyway, I...
You know there's a neo-Nazi party there of all places.
I don't know why.
It's on Facebook, but they only got three Reichs so far, so that's not too bad.
Let's see.
Anyway, there's this neolithic village that was like 50,000 years ago and actually has higher density than present-day Bombay.
And so he determined that really density is not the factor.
People have always huddled together, even in Neolithic times.
Yeah, there wasn't many people, but they didn't really spread out.
They lived really close together.
And so really density is not the major factor.
And Singapore is like an example.
This is really packed in there, but they don't have all these sociological breakdowns so much, and you think they would.
What is really key is the rate and quality of social interaction are key.
And so this was called the conceptual space that we humans have, that even though we can be packed together, living together, because of our minds, I guess we're smarter than rats, we can think out greater.
So we live in a greater conceptual space.
But what happens is, do we have an unlimited conceptual space?
And the theory is that maybe we don't because of the scale that we get taxed because of culture, technology, and social spheres that can start to limit our space and start to cause these breakdowns.
The conceptual distance, one of the things if you think about this is that for 50,000 years, really for humans, they've always lived basically in the same spot.
You know, you would be born, say if you're in China 2,000 years ago, 500 years ago, probably your whole life you never saw anyone but a Chinese.
You only knew one language, the same.
Same religion, same philosophical ideas.
And so it's only been fairly recently this conceptual space now has become more complex.
As humans, we're now having a lot more...
Globalization and we're having these clash of civilizations and the need for citizens to accommodate radical different outlooks.
Sometimes when you can't, right?
Because like in UK and Sweden, what are like the two highest priorities of those countries?
To import Muslims, right?
That's what they want.
That's priority number one.
And to celebrate homosexuals.
That's the number two.
But the problem is they're really in conflict because like these ISIS guys, they don't want to love homosexuals.
They want to push them off tall buildings.
So if you live there, how do you accommodate that in your mind?
You really can't.
There's a class there.
And so we're really starting to see that.
And as that happens, it's really starting to clutter our conceptual space.
So we're kind of like those rats now.
We're starting to have these bad behaviors.
And civilization was one of the things that always kind of protected that conceptual space and helped, you know, the church, religion, but acted as barriers against the social pathology.
And one of the things they did recently has been found is that diversity really kind of leads to death, like the first death, which is spiritual, then eventually could lead to the second death, which is physical.
And this is, by the way, a picture of, I think it's Goldman Sachs in London.
That just shows how we are right now.
Cultures that because of this complexity, when we get more diversity in, you don't really improve the social interactions.
And there's been things like bowling alone and so forth where people, they become more isolated.
They just kind of play video games.
They hang out by themselves because they don't have any common connection with the people.
Whereas previously, the people, you're the same ethnic group and language and so forth.
And so what you'd expect and what we're seeing is what we saw with the rats.
Psychopathic behavior, males get more aggressive, or they become very passive, meaning they kind of drop out.
They just start playing video games and they don't interact with others.
And then, as with rats, you get greater sexual deviancy and you start to have falling fertility rates.
And what's interesting is because once you have this more globalized model, is you start to have what's called the managerial class versus the managed class.
And we're getting what I see as a globe, this group of people, and this isn't just politicians, but it's the corporate people, that they're not really loyal to any country.
They don't care.
The way they look at this is like it's a one-world type of government.
And I really swear to God, you know, they probably got their idea from the John Lennon song of Magic.
Imagine there's no countries.
And they want to eliminate countries.
And we used to say, you know, it's just for white countries.
They want the immigration and stuff.
But it's really more than that.
They started an attack even on Japan that why should Japan just be Japanese?
So their idea is to get rid of all these country designations and just have this blob of people like Brazil.
And when you have this managerial class...
For example, there's Bush and Hillary.
I'm 52 years old, but it seems like my whole life there's been a Bush or there's been a Hillary.
We just haven't got away from this because of the managerial class.
This reminds me of a story that symbolizes their power.
Between Bush and Bill Clinton and Hillary.
And how the story goes is they all went to having Bill Clinton and George Bush and Hillary.
And God said to each of them, tell me what you believe in.
I want to know what you believe in.
What do you believe?
And so he said, George, what do you believe?
And George Bush said, I believe in a strong national defense and defending Israel, and I'm a neocon.
And God said, okay, I understand that.
And then he said, Bill, what do you believe in?
And Bill said, I believe in diversity.
I believe in globalization.
He said, okay, I understand that.
He said, Hillary, what do you believe?
And Hillary says, I believe you're sitting in my chair.
So that was kind of...
She'll probably be our next president, so...
Oh, wrong way here.
So the managerial class is more...
That's George Soros, by the way.
And I don't subscribe to the theory that...
He's Jewish, by the way, but he's not pro-Israel.
In fact, he's very anti-Israel.
And he's kind of that class that looks as kind of a one-world type.
Eliminate the borders.
Everyone goes wherever they want.
And then you have...
A class that they promote.
It ends up with the wage stagnation, mass immigration debt, and cultural wars.
And that's what we're seeing.
He's meddled a lot in Europe with, like, the Ukraine and so forth.
And we're having this class of people that are acting that way.
They don't really belong to a specific country.
They don't have a loyalty to America or Hungary or whatever.
They're the managerial class.
And the cubicle farms is...
This is one of those things that we've...
Has led to this, well, I don't really think it's natural.
I used to work in stuff like that, and I was like, it's not what we as men or people were designed for, to be in a dehumanized environment, to be in these cubes and always monitored.
And all there is, there's nothing spiritual.
It's just like we're little...
Widgets to increase consumerism, to spend more, and then that leads to gluttony.
And part of the reason I think we're having such an obesity problem in the West, I always thought it was because of our diet and food.
And that's probably part of it.
But a lot of the issues, I haven't seen that in Eastern Europe.
And part of it is because they're more of a homogeneous nations.
And I think part of it is that we're just starting to have the problem that the rats have.
We're becoming kind of a spiritual death.
So we're getting these bad behaviors.
You know, we try to burn calories by exercising and so forth.
Although I think ISIS, they burn calories by sending a fat kid on fire, but we can't do that.
So we've got to find other ways to do it.
So then the spiritual death is, what happens is complexity creates anxiety, because everything's more complex in the world now.
You have to interface with a lot more people, different religions, different values, so we get anxious.
And anxious...
Leads to depression.
We get depressed.
And then we start to amuse ourselves to deaden our impression, whether it be drinking or entertainment or sex, like that.
So we become more degenerate, kind of like the rats have become.
And now we fool ourselves.
We start to say, well, our degeneracy is actually good.
It's actually superior.
But it leads to the decline.
So one of the solutions, and a lot of the people here have talked about this, and I think there's really four solutions here.
One is we need to recognize the smaller nations of homogeneous populations.
I think that's what we as humans are designed for.
It doesn't mean it has to be 100% pure or anything like that.
Something I think like the Hungarians or the Romanians have, and I try to tell those people, you have your country, you have your people with other fellow Hungarians or Romanians, and you should really protect that.
That is a blessing what you have.
Population immigration control.
Again, we talked a lot about immigration, but if you have wide open borders, you're going to have issues with that.
Management of systems vulnerable to scale.
I'm going to talk about that a little bit in our economy, what's happening with this mass consumerism, and then political reform.
And again, this is a picture of Hungary, and I think the United States has become out of scale now.
Back in 1965, even though member scales is not geographic, it's conceptual.
The United States was primarily a white Christian nation.
I mean, we celebrated Christmas.
It was a basic English language, and we had the same type of values.
Not everyone, but that was basically what it is.
But now we've become this huge hodgepodge, and parts of the southwest now are really more parts of Mexico than the United States.
So I see eventually we're going to have a Soviet-style breakup of the United States is probably what will happen.
It happened in the Soviet Union.
No one thought it happened, but it eventually will happen here.
And smaller nations, what they do is they reduce the complexity.
Remember, when you reduce the complexity, you have a greater conceptual space that's easier, so you don't run into these pathological behaviors.
Population and immigration control.
Again, integration should be focused on shared heritage and values, and vast populations do not equal to wealth.
There's this obsession we have with growth and capitalism.
Trigger, trigger, trigger.
We have this obsession with growth, but India would be extremely wealthy by having a huge population, so it's not always having more people is going to help things.
Management of systems, this has to do with what we're seeing now with robotics and offshoring.
Capitalism has really warped on many things.
I'm not opposed to capitalism, but we've got to understand that without controls, it really becomes in this complexity of the managerial class.
They look for the cheapest resource.
I always hated that term.
I was like, no, I'm a man.
I'm not a resource.
But that's how they look at us, is just resources to plug in.
And if they get someone cheaper, let's say from Bangladesh versus the United States, they'll do that, because that's all they care about.
Because they don't care, they're going to live in their fancy gated community, and the rest of you would hell with you.
You live in a third world slum.
They don't care.
But I care, and I think all of you care.
So that's why we're here, trying to prevent that.
So a lot of these scales, we need to look at it.
There's sometimes...
More reason than just trying to get the cheapest product possible.
And instead of asking, does it work, we should ask for what purpose?
And what's the ultimate goal of destroying their cultures?
I mean, what's the endgame?
What do they see the endgame of, I guess, no countries and everyone just mushed together, like Brazil, where you have the super rich and gated communities and the rest people poor, and they just try to divert themselves with endless amusements, you know, porn, drinking,
or whatever.
That's something that we need to look at as kind of the spiritual side of our society.
And when I say spiritual, I'm not talking religious.
I'm just talking about what do we want to know as a people.
And when we have this relentless effort to achieve efficiency and profit, it forces countries to abandon their industries and so forth.
And so it really wrecks a lot of countries.
And then the political forum, I've talked about this in the dark enlightenment, but we need to reject the whole idea of equality and democracy, and really democracy is in place to prevent change the way it is.
And there's various ways we can go about it.
And one of the things I want to talk about a little bit was white nationalism.
It's kind of a broad concept, and I think we're seeing now in the whole countries like Europe and so forth more identitarianism.
When I was in Europe, for example, they really don't have so much the concept of white people.
They do, but they have their ethnic divisions.
For example, just Hungary and Romania, we can see to us they're both white, but they have a lot of animosity because of like Transylvania.
Transylvania used to be part of Hungary.
But then after World War II, Stalin gave it to Romania.
So there's a lot of ethnic hatreds that still exist in Europe on that.
So what we need to look at is more of a local approach.
And that was discussed today of how we need to focus on the local.
And, you know, we don't want to become Brazil.
I don't think that's our goal.
And we need to get back to traditionalism and to get the sex role as the fundamental building blocks of society.
It's really who we are as animals, as the gender roles.
So the steps forward, and this is a guy, like, he's Alex Honnold, I believe his name is.
He's a rock climber.
He climbs without ropes.
He's just incredible and amazing.
And one of the things it taught me, I ran an interview with him.
I was on YouTube, and someone was talking about fear, and he has a lot of, you know, there's fear.
You have to control your fear.
But the interviewer was saying, yeah, I have fear of public speaking.
Like, you know, I can relate now.
There's always a fear.
But then, you know, Alex is like, You know, what are you talking about?
That's just in your mind.
I mean, you're not going to die.
I mean, what's the worst that happens?
And, you know, most of the things we need to look at, and for what we're doing in our movement, we have such a fear of everything, and everyone asks me, oh, you know, Ramsey Paul or Paul Ramsey, how did you do this?
Aren't you feared of the SPLC and all that?
And it's like...
Not that much, really.
I mean, and as more as we go forward, if we can overcome our fears, we can do great things.
And most of that is just really in our head, our fear.
And if we can overcome that, we can go forward.
And so what I would say is the steps forward is to, I know this is a cliche, but think global and act local.
And I think what we need to do is we need to, I love this, this is kind of the global because we have people all over the world here and we can exchange ideas, that's great.
But to really build our communities, it has to be very local.
And I know people talked about You know, being within a driving distance of each other within a day or something.
And I think that's really key.
And that's the key with, like, Europe is they're smaller countries so they have that more local regionalism.
They can build that.
And I think we need to build that in the United States as having local efforts and local ideas to build our communities.
The red pill is just basically waking up and seeing the matrix for the first time in mass and rejecting the chains that society has wrapped you in.
So it's just looking at things.
It's something you can do personally.
I've done it personally.
That's when I started to do my videos.
My first video was called The Truth, which is really red pill thinking.
It's looking at what's really true, not necessarily what's popular.
And that will, I think, help us.
I think the truth really...
Any questions?
Triggering.
What was the photo of the Romanovs doing in the slideshow?
I just put that as kind of more of the traditional, you know, I think that was the traditional gender roles in that area, what I've talked about.
And I think that's really one of the key things of what we see breaking down is, and you saw that with the rats, and that's what's so fascinating is with the scale, is the rats, I guess rats have gender roles too.
When we reach their complexity, they start to break down.
And I think that's why we're seeing it here in the West specifically.
And I'm always fascinated with this concept because when I go to Eastern Europe, and I'm not an expert, but I see it there, the gender roles are more traditional.
And I think because our society is more in scale, meaning it's smaller, they tend to be more homogeneous, they speak the same language, they tend to have the same religion.
Not everyone, not 100%, but it works better that way.
And I think you see less of these pathologies.
So I think a lot of the pathological behaviors we're seeing today, that they make good video material for me, like all this weird transgenderism and everything like that.
And I'm not being mean to those people because I think some of these people are really like the rats where their spirit has died and something's really messed up in them because they're in this...
The society, and I think most people know, I think a lot of young people know, there's something really wrong with it.
And I think a lot of us older people maybe have a sense, but not quite as much as the younger people, because we still think it's kind of like the Brady Bunch or Leave it to Beaver, but it's not that way anymore.
And I think a lot of the kids understand that they don't really have many opportunities.
How are they going to get an opportunity for a programming job when that can be outsourced to Bangladesh?
Fit all these different conflicting values into one culture when it doesn't really make sense.
So you're seeing these, a lot of the men or the boys dropping out, doing video games, porn and so forth, or trying to get some relevance by being really weird and coming up with like other kin and all this stuff.
It's really what happened with the rats, the rats that broke down.
So I think that's really the key is the gender roles and keeping what was called in this is keeping your society.
You mentioned we need to reject democracy.
What do you see personally as a viable alternative?
Well, I did that with a...
My last speech was a dark enlightenment last year, and it was interesting because we used to have an aristocracy and the monarchy and so forth like that, and I think we need to limit the democracy.
I'm not saying we can go back to the monarchy solution, but the idea that everyone should be able to vote if you can breathe, it's just ridiculous.
It doesn't even make sense why we have restrictions on everything else, but because some idiot can vote, they can...
Tell me what to do with my life.
It doesn't really make sense.
And it comes with this whole idea of equality that we're all equal, but we're not all equal.
That's one of the greatest myths.
Do you think the truth is enough to set people free in the sense that it's a common theme amongst, like you mentioned, the manosphere, that once you take the red pill, you see how dark and messed up everything is, and so you just, like you said, become a rat, and that you just dive into straight hedonism,
which kills your soul even more.
Do you think...
Well, yeah, you can.
I don't think taking the red pill or seeing the truth is necessarily a...
It's kind of a personal decision that's real philosophical because there is a thing like...
Well, what are we doing here?
Maybe, like, maybe I should have just played the game and pretended that diversity is good, right?
And all of us can do that.
So that's one of those things that, and that kind of came within the movie, that just because you take the red pill doesn't mean everything's going to be easy.
It has to do with more of a philosophical approach that there's a truth for the truth.
That's what I decided.
I wanted to follow the truth, even if it can be painful.
Which it can be at times.
It really can be.
Because I would like to think everyone's equal and all that, but that's just not the case.
Thank you.
You mentioned, you talked, discussed about managerialism in your presentation.
Have you read The Managerial Revolution by James Burnham?
No, I have not.
He was one who came up with the theory in 1940, basically, that capitalism was being superseded by managerialism because you have CEOs and bureaucrats, government bureaucrats who are running our society now, they're not workers in the market sense, but neither are they capitalists.
I was just curious.
Yeah, one of the things I've seen, one of the best things about being smaller is I think people have, they feel they have more of a voice in things, and that's the way the United States I think used to be with the idea of having more independent states, whereas the people of Alabama could decide.
What they wanted, and now they really don't have a say because Washington always trumps them.
And we're seeing that now, guess where, in Europe, right, with the EU, where the EU starts to be able to, Brussels, to tell Bucharest what they can do.
And so that gets people more alienated because feeling they don't really have any power over their conditions.
And that's why I think we're really made for, I don't know if we as humans are really made for huge empires.
On a biological level, it's kind of interesting.
It's kind of a theory about how much we can scale.
But I think we're, Matt, evolutionary to really know people, I mean, to touch people and to be around them.
And that's why, by the way, I think these conferences are so good, because I think we as people just need to get off the Internet, and we need to meet people just because of biology.
That's what we are.
We need that physical contact that we can't get just on the Internet.
Have you given much thought to what would happen in our society when the machines take the majority of the jobs and then people are left without jobs and a large culture?
Yeah, you know, I have.
And it's one of those things that ideally you think would be like a...
A science fiction wonderful thing that people don't have to do work anymore because machines do all the work and then we get the material things.
But instead it become in our current system a nightmare where only the very rich get super rich and everyone else starves to death.
And I don't think that's a model because I've always been more of a libertarian historically but that's something I've never had anyone explain to me.
What happens when machines can start to do more jobs and you don't need humans?
What do humans do to make money?
And that's where, if you're like a strict libertarian, I guess you could say,"Well, it's not my problem.
They can starve to death and die." People tend not to want to do that, and they could get some revolutionists.
And in a sense, I think with a lot of our welfare we're having in the United States and even Western Europe, it's really because of that, because we just have too many people really necessary to do the work.
And so a lot of make work is done to get people money.
And so I think ideally there'd be a solution where the state could help provide essential functions to people.
And I know that I'm just going off my whole Ayn Rand days.
But I think because you've got to look at things, something has fundamentally changed where if you don't need to sell your labor anymore, what are people going to do?
I know some people, there's always going to be need for jobs for certain things, but there's going to be a whole lot of people, there's just no reason for them.
Good evening.
How do we return young men, especially, back into society?
Get them out of the behavioral sink.
Since you're familiar with John Calhoun's experiment, I look at a lot of the charts and graphs explaining what happens with the mice.
How do we go back up the graph?
Give them a goal.
And I think we have young men now are just as good as any young men.
I don't really like to slam generations because I don't think that's really...
True. But if people don't have any hope, but if you give them a hope, let's say it's like, hey, what we're going to do is we're going to start our own country, our own communities.
We need you involved with that.
And if they have that purpose, well, you'll see them go forward.
But if they have no purpose in their life, if they know their life is nothing but, you know, consumerism, they just give up.
So they have to have a goal that's beyond them.
And that's where I talk, I think, the spiritual side.
All people, not just men, but as a man, you have to have a reason for your life besides just working so you can consume more until you die, and that's your whole purpose in life.
I think that it depresses people, and then they try to numb themselves, and that's why you get a lot of this weird behavior, like the rats did, they try to distract themselves.
I would like to just add a comment to the subject of machines taking over.
Everyone will recall not too many months ago the tragic crash of the Korean airliner at the San Francisco airport.
The pilots came in short.
There was nothing wrong with the aircraft.
They just bungled the landing.
They hit the seawall, broke the aircraft in two, and fortunately there were relatively few fatalities.
Well, what happened?
The official report is yet to be released, but one of the plausible explanations is the following.
The ILS, the Instrument Landing System, It was turned off for legitimate reasons.
It was not instrument weather.
It was visual weather.
And there was no critical need for the ILS, and they have to occasionally take it down for maintenance, and that's what they had done.
Now, with these modern airplanes, as one pilot has remarked, flying is just like a video game.
You just punch the buttons and the airplane obeys.
It used to be that an airplane would have an automatic pilot, which was a very simple thing.
They now have what's called an FMS, a flight management system, that does everything.
Right. And so typically the pilot just punches in SFO for San Francisco.
Simplifying, land me there, runway 36L or whatever.
That couldn't work because the ILS was not there.
The pilots, as this theory goes, had forgotten how to fly.
Flying skill is highly perishable, and suddenly they themselves had to fly the airplane.
They misjudged the glide slope.
They landed short, and the accident resulted.
Yeah, I mean, and there's even a question, and I know this sounds heretical, but why do you have pilots?
It's probably dangerous.
And that's one of the...
It's not too far off in the future.
We already have drones, and we already see the MH370, which I think was pilot suicide, and other pilot suicide.
So maybe we shouldn't even use pilots.
That's the direction.
That's the direction.
I've worked on that a little bit.
The idea is you get in the airplane and you crank up.
You don't have to call anyone for clearance.
You've got all the stuff here, and you just sit down and points go, and the airplane does the rest.
That's a long way off, I hope.
It seems like in regards to the red pill and ethno-nationalism that, you know, the reason it sounds like, you know, the solution ultimately is because, okay, it's, quote, been done before so it can, you know, work again.
Well, my question for you is this.
Is there a possibility that...
White nationalism or racial nationalism or white identity can become something more than what it is, which is, you know, the lowest common denominator.
You know, right now a quote doesn't work, it's never been done before, but I mean, you know, desperation, you know, can result in change, or whatever the quote is.
So I guess, again, I mean, do you think it's racial identity just dead in the water, or is there a possibility that a white or European or, you know, as the first speaker said, Aryan identity or whatever you want to call it could form?
No, I think it's more likely it will, because people naturally, if they don't have the government, tend to go into their ethnic groups.
And I saw a thing on baseball players when they travel.
The blacks tend to hang out with the blacks, Hispanics, Hispanics, and the whites, whites.
And it's not because they hate each other, but that's just a natural way of doing things.
So I think nationalism is natural.
The only thing I have about white nationalism that I think we need to look at is we've got to also be concerned about the problem of scale, meaning don't try to think that we can get all whites in the world into one.
