Time Text
Hello and welcome to the podcast Lotus Eaters for today the 20th of November.
I am joined by Dan.
Hello.
Today we're going to discuss the energy crisis burgeoning in the UK, Senator Mike Lee versus all of the thoughts of America, and you're going to subject me to the Pornhub Analytics of 2022.
I hate this job sometimes.
It is the source of the best data on revealed preferences, so it's worth talking about.
Welcome to the Fall of the West, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaking of working here, we do still have a career opportunity.
It hasn't met the deadline for applications yet.
If you want to be a video editor for us, first of all, you do have to commute into or live in Swindon.
Because you'll be working in the studio where you'll overhear me and Harry talking about comics all the time.
So if you have the strength of character to endure such nonsense, then you can join our growing team.
And it's growing because you guys keep subscribing to the website.
We keep making all this great content for you.
So thank you very much for your attention.
You can come and work with us if your skills suit.
So go to this page and use the contact information.
Without further ado, let's get into it then.
Yeah, so I'm wanting to talk about the UK energy crisis.
And actually, we were just talking off air before we came on, and it turns out you're actually a proper energy expert.
I wouldn't use the term expert.
I had a couple of years background in energy policy.
I did write a policy paper, which I sent to the UK government, and they did incorporate some of the findings into the Nuclear Financing Bill of 2022.
This is excellent.
And since then, I have absolutely no hope that we're going to go in a positive direction because they're all ideologically captured, but we'll see.
Funnily enough, that was going to come up in the section, but yeah, good.
So you can really add to this.
Now look, where I wanted to start with this is there's a website that I like to go to every now and again.
It's National Grid Live.
Let's see if we can throw that up on the page.
Actually, no, before I do, let me just talk about promoting one of our premium slots, which is the Contemplations No.
64, Venezuela's Economic Collapse Explained.
The reason I wanted to bring this one up is because it's not just South American countries that can experience economic collapse.
They can happen closer to home as well.
For example, if you don't get your energy policy right...
Well, this is a prime example because Venezuela is actually a petro state and then they decided to annoy all of their neighbours and particularly irritate the American petrodollar.
But if they absorb themselves into bricks quite cleverly in the future, they may be able to rebound their economy and it's just because we're imploding our energy security, much to the enrichment of our enemies.
Yeah, because they're actually an incredibly oil-rich nation, aren't they?
And interestingly, they produce quite a heavy form of crude so that when they sanction the Russians, We had all these refineries set up.
They couldn't process the light crew coming out of Saudi Arabia.
So they had to unsanction Venezuela in order to sort of bring them back into the system.
But yes, so that is relevant to what we're talking about.
Right now, this website that I'm talking about, I like to check on it from time to time, especially at the moment, because it gives you a sort of overview where we are.
And this is the National Grid Live.
Now, actually, at the moment, it's not that bad, the level of pricing that you're seeing on there at the moment.
I'm viewing this as sort of around midday, and of course that's the time when it's both the windiest and the sunniest, so the renewable element of it is coming through.
But the reason I wanted to talk about this is because before lockdowns, we were typically paying, and you can correct me if I'm wrong on this since you know about this one, but something in the region of about £65 per megawatt hour is about what we were paying before lockdowns.
Since then, we are regularly experiencing at the moment sort of £400 to £500.
This is a sort of massive increase in the amount of cost that we're paying.
And actually, we've just had a period of a couple of weeks where it's been exceptionally cold and it's not been windy, and we've had spikes of up to £2,000 per megawatt hour.
So this is a, well, it is more than a tenfold increase.
It's more like a 30-fold increase in what we were sort of paying before the lockdown period.
Bear in mind as well, the reason the renewables prices look lower than they are is because we've been subsidising them to the tune of billions for the past few years.
Also, this unexpected bout of cold weather, which the Met Office were unable to predict because they were sat at home on their laptops, still working from home despite the UK not being locked down for over a year...
This has a knock-on effect to whether or not they can generate as much as well.
Because one of the main things that happens with wind turbines is if the actual turbine gets too cold, then it just freezes up and you need to get in a helicopter with either a flamethrower or a jet wash to de-ice it.
Seriously?
Yeah.
There's actual photos and videos of stuff out there.
It's hilarious.
I actually went to Whitley Wind Farm, which is the largest inland farm.
I've got to say, that is quite a cool job.
What's your job?
My job is to use a flamethrower out of a helicopter.
Not all that carbon neutral, though.
Neither is the carbon fibre which they're coated in.
But the experts at Whitley Wind Farm actually said to me, yeah, they don't really make back the energy it costs to make them in their lifetime.
They're made in China and Spain and imported over by shipping crate.
And you definitely need nuclear and gas as a dispatchable base load for when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine.
Or if the wind blows too much, like last year when we spent £500,000...
Upwards of that, there's a Telegraph article on that, so you can correct me on the number, but I think that's the number, turning them off because they couldn't feather them, because if they spun too fast in the high winds, they would just break, and one turbine did actually flop over.
Well, that is unfortunate.
Yeah.
Right, okay.
I thought actually you were going to say that this unexpected period of cold weather, I thought you were going to say it's called winter.
Yes.
However it came about, it caught the Met Office completely off guard for whatever reason.
So look, energy is important because it is the base tier of your economy.
The only reason why Conor and I are able to do this pontificate on the internet and you're able to do whatever it is that you do...
It's because we have abundant free energy, cheap energy.
If it wasn't for that, you know, we would all be subsistence farmers, you know, working the land.
It is the absolute base tier of everything we do.
So it really matters.
So, you know, this website is interesting because it gives you the sort of stats, it gives you the numbers.
You can see that the prices that we're experiencing at the moment are significantly higher than they have been.
So let's just do a quick recap and figure out if we can look at the problem.
So...
Well first of all how much energy do we need?
Well typically in the summer it's around about 30 gigawatts and in the winter it's somewhere between 38 and 40 gigawatts.
So we need quite a lot of energy and where does our energy come from?
Well actually it turns out that in this country we're not doing too badly on wind because we're an island in the Atlantic.
So we get about 30% of our energy from wind when those blades aren't collapsing or being flamethrowered.
We get about 40% from gas, about 15% from nuclear, which is nowhere near as good as it could be, and then we've got 15% from basically everything else, solar, coal, biomass, the rest of it.
So this works sometimes.
I check it today, and it looks like it's basically working more or less today.
Unfortunately, it's not always windy.
It's not always sunny.
And actually, it's quite common at the moment to see us drawing something like, well, 15%.
Let's have a look at what it is now.
So we are currently drawing...
Yeah, we're drawing 11% of what we need from overseas.
A lot of that from France, which is making us dependent on, obviously, other European countries.
Do you know the Green Party's plan for an energy-independent UK? This is on their website, so you can check me on this, right?
They want to abandon all fossil fuels except for gas in the transition period.
So they're being reasonable...
Their sole MP, the Green Party MP, Caroline Lucas, said, we don't need nuclear power plants, so that's off the table.
And their solution for when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine is we're going to have an interconnected network of undersea cables between countries to share power and all hold hands and sink and buy art.
Absolutely no national security problems there, even with the French when, for example...
They cut off power to the Jersey Islands because they don't like our Brexit or immigration policies.
I'm sure we'll be friends with everybody.
So I think that the security angle is particularly important because, like I say, at the moment we are typically drawing around 5 gigawatts from over from France.
You've got to think they got us by the shorts and curlies there and maybe that's why we're not pushing back on the small boats issue.
Well, especially because France, as well, are a net energy exporter because they've got so many nuclear power stations.
It's raking it in for the French Treasury at the moment.
I think they generated something like 15 billion excess in 2020.
Yeah, and that could be us if we sorted our energy position out.
So, look, we know that we've got a problem.
We know that we're paying far more than we used to.
We know that we're dependent on...
France in order to get our energy.
So, you know, what are the solutions?
And I've come up with four solutions.
See if our resident energy expo agrees with me.
But the first one that I've thought of is, well, what about some nuclear?
Yeah.
Now, I want to go through an article, first of all, here.
You know, this We do actually have a nuclear pump which is nearing completion.
And this is what people were saying about it back in 2015.
They were saying, and there's the one section that I want to quote from here.
There is also the small matter of the jaw-dropping price the Treasury has agreed to pay.
£92 per megawatt hour, which is double the current market rate.
This will rise with inflation for 35 years.
Now, £90 per megawatt hour.
You bite your arm off to get that these days.
Yes, it is dwarfed by inflation rates.
Also, the paper that I wrote actually meant that the UK government wouldn't have to guarantee the construction at all.
Because the problem with nuclear plants, and I consult with a nuclear engineer doing this, is that over the life cycle, specifications change, the tech changes, you might move towards small modular reactors instead because they're more economical and it wasn't available when you commissioned it.
And you've got to constantly keep pace with meeting new safety regulations.
So the budget will always go up.
The issue is you've got a set of investors at the start that guarantee it for a certain amount and the government often guarantees a proportion of it.
So they invest for a percentage so that goes up over time and that ends up costing the taxpayer who are also at the same time paying for the energy.
And then they go overseas and guarantee different loans.
This is why Hinkley and Sizewell have got stakes in it from Chinese General Nuclear and they have a 22 and a 33% stake in...
I can't remember which way it is.
So I thought Hinkley was mainly French, wasn't it?
Yeah, but the Chinese do also have a stake in it.
Right, okay.
Yeah, which is because they went over budget and so they went, right, we need Chinese money for it.
Because the government was guaranteeing the loan.
Instead, if you did a feed-in tariff system which allowed the companies investing in it to price into the energy bills, and this is provided you're getting energy from safe sources like...
just rubbish renewables at the time, so energy bills wouldn't be sky high if we were sensible, but if you allowed them to price it into the energy bills over time, that would mean you had a 10 to 20% increase on your energy bills for the 10 year period it takes to construct it and then suddenly your energy bills would halve overnight because you've got the nuclear power plant constructed and that becomes the primary source.
So I've got some stats here on the viability of nuclear and the cost of it.
You talked there about small nuclear reactors.
Are they even more cost effective?
Are they an even better option?
Okay, right.
So basically, if my numbers work for nuclear, they're going to work even better with the small nuclear reactors.
Yes, and they're way easier to implement, way easier to deploy, and you can have more of them in more areas, so you'll have an even more abundance.
Because what I was going to point out is I was going to say, look, if we built nine more of these Hinkley Point Cs, that would cost us about the same as running the NHS for a year.
And that would take us to the point where we were completely energy independent, and actually on windy days we would be exporting power to energy.
We would be the ones raking it in, and the wind power typically comes through around...
Midday, which is, you know, when the factories with the peak demand time is.
So yeah, that would work for us.
And actually, even if we built only five more nuclear power stations, that would cost us the same as what we spend on education in a year, about 100 billion.
And again, that would give us that energy security.
Most of the time, we'd be generating everything we need, and there'd only be the odd occasion where it wasn't particularly windy and particularly cold, where we'd be having to buy anything from overseas abroad.
So, yeah, so, you know, this is a solution, but the politicians, they just don't want to know it.
They are not interested in this option, despite it being obviously the solution.
There's a clip that a friend of mine tweeted out from quite a while ago of Nick Clegg just after being elected to the coalition government, and he said that the energy plan to build nuclear power plants is utterly untenable because they wouldn't come online until 2020.
Watching that in 2022 is rather infuriating.
Yeah, yeah, quite.
Right, solution number two that I came up with is do some fracking.
So fracking has absolutely transformed the situation in the US. I've got this article here which throws in some numbers.
It's quite remarkable.
Using fracking techniques has helped the US tap into vast oil and gas reserves that were inaccessible to traditional drillers.
During the fracking boom of the 2010s, the US overtook Russia and Saudi Arabia as the biggest crude oil and gas producers worldwide.
Its oil production rose from 5.4 million barrels per day to 13 million barrels a day in 2019.
So, absolutely remarkable transformation in energy security in the US. Well, until the Biden administration, that is.
Until the Biden administration.
And we could do that here.
Now, not this article, another article, which we don't need to pull up, which is basically based on the British Geographical Survey, estimated that we had one...
Yeah, we'd be energy independent if we tapped 10% of all of the North Sea reserves and or fracking for half a decade.
Just, yeah.
It's pretty inarguable.
And I have seen with Richard Tice's Reform Party, for example, I was going to have an opportunity to discuss with him on air, but there was a booking error, unfortunately.
So it got cancelled.
But when he was doing the by-election in my constituency in Bexley, he was campaigning off of the idea that Reform would have a British energy company, which the Labour Party also seems to be proposing, but the Labour Party would make it 100% renewable.
He would have shale gas.
Now, by instinct, I think both of us are...
Very much we don't want government to own any industry just because they have a tendency to bugger things up.
However, if you created a very protectionist, particularly at a wartime, if they keep genuflecting into it, being Putin's price hike for the reason we're paying all these energy prices, if you had an insulated...
Repatriated gas production market, which provided us with abundant resources and then we could export to the outside world.
This may be a reason to be slightly more state protectionist, particularly with this resource, and I think that seems to be quite sensible.
Well, perhaps if it's a national security angle, we can bend on principle to a certain extent.
And you say it's unarguable, but the Tory MPs don't seem to agree that it is not arguable.
So there was a major commons revolt on this back in October.
So, those of you who are really good at British political trivia might remember somebody called Liz Trust, who was Prime Minister for a couple of weeks.
Now, during her tenure, she decided that she wanted to overturn the ban on fracking, and I maintain that Liz Trust had good instincts.
It was just unfortunate that she was a bit of an idiot and couldn't sort of command her party or the media or her own government or her ministers.
But she did have the right instincts when it came to fracking.
So she tried to overturn this and there was a major commons revolt.
You know, this is an article back from October in the Standard where they're talking about, you know, Listrust was facing a revolt by Tory MPs opposed to fracking on Wednesday, despite Whip saying that it was a crunch commons vote and a confidence motion.
And they ended up making it a free line whip and they ended up with a massive revolt anyway.
They did get it through but then it was almost immediately overturned following the next coup where Rishi Sunak came in.
So, you know, you've got a situation where you've got Tory MPs who are busy putting Ukraine flags in their profile.
Until very recently, the main Conservative Party website replaced the Union Jack with the Ukraine flag.
So they're all about sanctioning Russia and telling us that Putin is this demon prince.
At the same time, cutting off the alternative.
I do think, and I believe this is articulated, I don't know if you were in the stream at the time, but by our mutual favourite 80s puppet rat, that there is a schism within the Tory party concerning the neocons on one side and the globalist internationale on the other side.
And the globalist internationale are very much represented by Rishi Sinek, in particular Jeremy Hunt, with their affinity for the UN, the World Health Organization, the World Economic Forum, and the Chinese model of governance, making us into a Social democracy with a social credit system, eventually.
But Liz Truss is very much on the Warhawk side of things.
And so reframing energy security as a national security issue has definitely won folks like her over.
And so I think she wanted to take on fracking, not because she wanted to abandon net zero, because that's what a lot of the...
The globalist press were talking about when they were saying, oh, she is pandering to the Brexit-loving popular space.
We're using a lot of gas anyway, it's just getting it...
Where we get it from.
Exactly.
Rather than Theresa May selling off all our shale gas reserves.
I think she was persuaded to tap into gas, not because she didn't want Net Zero to go ahead, but because she saw it as a war asset.
And what she didn't realise is she wasn't on board with the global plan of we want renewables because they're rational and it's easy to immiserate the poor and then if you say the wrong thing on social media we can turn it off overnight.
Right, okay.
Solution number three, apologise to Russia.
So this is where we basically say, look, we acknowledge that the Ukraine conflict is really a Ukrainian civil war between Kiev and Donbass, and it's being interfered massively by the great powers of the US on one side and Russia on the other side.
We could recognise that had the Minsk Agreement actually been upheld, we wouldn't be in this situation.
You know, perhaps there would have been some new settlement with the Donbass.
Perhaps it could be functionally autonomous, but still within it.
But, you know, we're past that now.
We've gone all in behind the US war effort when we didn't really have a dog in this fight.
So it is questionable as to whether Putin would even want to sell to us at this point, having pivoted effectively to the East.
What's your take on this?
Well, I was going to say that we're in a...
Annoying conundrum where Rishi Sunak today has been reported by The Times, who are very pro-Ukraine war as well, because William Hague just published an op-ed in there saying that they need sea-to-air missiles supplied by us.
But Rishi Sunak is being criticised because he's running, quote, Goldman Sachs dashboards on the cost-effectiveness of the war.
So he's looking at how much we're sending over in aid.
The problem we have is even if he rescinds the amount of aid we're supplying as a percentage of our GDP, and he isn't as war hawkish...
He's still going to push the pedal on net zero anyway, because that's part of the international plan, as Stanley Johnson once said.
So I think we've only...
I know the US has given a lot.
I think we've only given about $4.5 billion at this point.
So the amount that we've given isn't actually that high.
It's the knock-on effects.
It's the energy effects that are really hurting us.
But proportionate to how much of our budget, and also we are still the second most around the world that has provided financial aid.
Yes, the US are the largest, but then also their economy is exponentially larger than ours.
Well, they print a lot more money than we do, and we print a lot.
Right, so that was option number three.
Solution number four, give up on net zero.
That one's going to be tricky because that would be like trying to get the Pope to give up his allegiance to Beelzebub or, you know, the global elites, you know, give away their penchant for islands full of underage children.
As a Catholic, I felt that one in my soul.
But you know I agree.
And also, of course, net zero is the mechanism by which they are seeking to control us.
They are going to use net zero to get us into the pod and eating the bug.
So I don't think that this one is particularly viable.
Oxford, they're dividing Oxford up into districts.
As is Cambridge, yes.
So you'll be within your 15-minute cities, per the World Economic Forum's plan.
And if you decide to take your electric car out there, but you have said the wrong thing on social media, by the way, former Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, who I believe is still a Cabinet Minister now, he proposed legislation, I don't know if it was formally passed, but this was part of his electric car ban, that allowed the government to remotely turn off your electric car charging port at peak hours.
And then, I think the company was Octopus Energy, running tests alongside the national grid with a government mandate that took, from your smart appliances, energy back into the grid at Trough.
We've had viewers who whistleblow working for the National Grid saying there has been a drive to increase the amount of smart meters sold and given out to homeowners because this is a government initiative and they gave grants to energy companies in order to get these out the door and now they're going to call in on their loans so they're going to hang this over their head.
They obviously want you to be on a smart meter because then all of your appliances are hooked up to a central device, they're all on renewables, they're all rational, and they can be switched off remotely.
I keep getting phone calls trying to get me onto a smart meter and I just refuse every time.
It's like, no, I'm not having it.
That's who's running the Albert Einstein adverts.
They're trying to market to you as, oh, well, it's just the sensible, scientific thing to do.
You wouldn't want to do the same thing over and over again and look insane.
Would you adopt the smart meter and get on our cost-effective energy policy plan, which some things in America have already doled out.
And in the terms and conditions it said, we do reserve the right to ration your energy at trough times.
So for me, doing the same thing over and over again would be trusting government.
I think that's where you've got to be careful.
So yeah, giving up net zero, that one's probably not going to happen either.
And so there's solution number five, the bonus one, the one which I think they're actually going to do, which is to bully us and impoverish us and force us into using less energy.
Now, the reason I think they're going to do this is because, you know, that's basically what they did with water.
So I think I'm right in saying not a single new reservoir has been built since 1991.
No.
And the population has gone up 20% since then.
And so what they do in the summertime is they give us a hosepipe ban.
I had a hosepipe ban in my area over the summer.
It's still going on, by the way.
They haven't lifted it.
Have they not?
Nope.
My grandad told me this the other day.
He got a bill for it.
LAUGHTER In the middle of winter.
I thought that must have ended months ago.
No, I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that when the water companies were privatised, they were sold off to foreign firms, and the Chinese have a part-owned stake in Thameswater.
That's crazy.
Okay, that's obviously what they're going to do.
So I'm going to start this segment and just say, look, we're in an energy crisis and we're here entirely because of political choices.
There were four choices that got us into this.
It is going for net zero.
It is refusing to frack.
It is refusing to build sufficient nuclear power and it's sanctioning Russia, right?
All of those are policy choices that we could change tomorrow.
Now, you change one of those and we're no longer in an energy crisis.
You change two of those and we're back to the good old days of, you know, relatively cheap energy.
We can do what we want.
You change three of those and we become an energy powerhouse that exports to Europe and we're in prime position to To become an industrial country, provide real jobs, real tangible benefit, and that's especially attractive at the moment because, of course, Germany is currently driving itself off the cliff, so there's lots of manufacturing investment that could come to us instead of Germany, who now longer have a power base.
So, you know, it's a policy choice.
That's the prime thing, and, you know, if I can cap that one way, it is stop voting for these mainstream parties because we are in this mess because of choices they made.
Connor, can you tell us any good news about politicians?
Well, we'll see.
So, the White House, obviously, is controlled by the Democrats.
The Senate, still controlled by the Democrats.
Congress got flipped.
Good news, everyone.
Remains to be seen if they'll do anything.
But one lone senator, this Christmas, is taking a war on ethos.
And that is Utah Senator Mike Lee.
This Christmas...
He is stopping the Coomers from having all their fun.
There'll be no Fappy New Year, I'm afraid, because Mike Lee is passing an online obscenity bill, and he's requiring age verification for porn websites.
That's right, Americans.
You'll be getting your wank pass.
Now, let's be real.
It's not going to pass.
Absolutely not.
Especially in a Democrat-controlled Senate.
But let's have a bit of fun and look at the philosophical implications of one Republican's efforts to ban online pornography, shall we?
If you'd like to see a debate on whether or not we should or shouldn't ban porn, and also learn lots of information about the social, health, psychological impacts of online pornography, you can go over and subscribe to our website for as little as £5 a month.
Way better than a subscription to other services that I know you have.
Stop it!
And me and Josh decided to, in his Contemplation series, discuss the psychology and morality of pornography.
Josh was on the libertarian side, saying it's a social scourge, but we shouldn't ban, and I wanted a legislative airstrike against the whole industry.
And I'm on the Mike Lee train for this.
Dan, whereabouts do you line up with this particular issue?
Actually, I mean, this is an old-fashioned question.
So I remember, you know, 20 years ago, it was actually the positions were largely reversed.
It was the left who were, at the time, they were not sex positive.
And they were basically in favour of getting rid of it.
I mean, they were all about sort of women's...
We mean, really?
I mean, that was just their thing back then.
They hadn't really got on to the race.
Yeah, now they've got the new women.
The trans.
Exactly, yes.
The men women.
And actually, the minority position on the left back then was the libertarian socialist, who you don't really get anymore.
That's oxymoronic anyway.
Yeah, I mean, well, you get something, Dore, Jimmy Dore.
You get a small handful of them.
You get the social permissiveness.
- Commissives who are like Occupy Wall Street, skeptical of government and big business, but lots of those abandoned their principles when they captured the institutions and realized it was much more useful to just will power arbitrarily against their enemies and stand on principle. - So I've got to say my base position, all of this stuff has to be the libertarian one, which you give people choice.
However, I can clearly see that our society is being undone at every level and it's making me question my own assumptions, Maybe the libertarian perspective isn't the right one.
So I haven't fully made up my mind.
Let's see if you can convince me.
You're the perfect person.
And I am actually, I will state this, not fully convinced by Mike Lee's proposal yet, because there are some issues with this.
But we are going to explore some of the dimensions where legislation really should non-objectionally step in, and then we can talk about the porn industry as a whole.
Now, I wanted to look at first one of the fringe, but horrific examples, the consequences of this widespread abetted addiction.
And that is the recent killing of a woman named Megan Newborough, because her murderer, the fella she was seeing at the time, and remember ladies, you don't know what kind of man you've brought home until you're alone with him, so be very careful who you get attached to, has since been jailed for life because he strangled and slit her throat after she came over, and he blames it on...
PTSD from childhood sexual trauma that was then instigated when they became intimate.
Now, after he killed her, he said, giving evidence under cross-examination on Monday, he was asked why he'd looked at online pornography the morning after the killing on the night of Friday the 6th of August.
So this was in the immediate aftermath, pretty much after midnight.
And he said, pornography was a safety blanket.
It makes you feel better for a short period of time.
And John Camay, who was prosecuting, asked him, that's what you did at 7am for some 17 minutes after killing Meghan.
And Mr Cullen, 30, who was the man that killed her, laughed and said, yes, I'm being completely honest.
I know how bad it makes me look.
He said he accessed porn as escapism from what I've just done.
Now, the reason I bring this up is obviously not every man is going to, as Ted Bundy blamed his killings on, Look at Boob once and then go on a shooting spree or something like that.
However, there is a neurophysiological reason why this man may have been terrified of what he'd just done, the obvious evil that he'd just perpetrated.
And then turn straight to online pornography, and that is because your dopamine receptors are burned out by constant exposure to sexual novelty, and the main thing that we see as a motivating drive is obviously sex, because that's how we reproduce.
Porn bypasses pretty much everything else that could excite you, like food or the wonderful can of drink you just got there.
And it's the most exciting thing possible because your brain doesn't know the difference between naked lady in real life and naked lady on screen.
And so when you burn out your dopamine receptors, you start confusing the feeling of excitement and novelty with the feeling of anxiety.
And that's why when you're in extremely stressful scenarios like this, someone who's porn addicted could revert to this.
So you're confusing enjoyment with stress.
So I've heard that this is particularly bad on younger men, because I grew up in an era where we didn't have online porn, we didn't have online anything.
But I've heard it's a lot worse for younger men who...
Back in my day, you had to do everything the real way.
You had to go to a pub and you had to be at least somewhat charming, otherwise you weren't getting anywhere.
But these days you can get your fix, like you say, online very easily.
Society was far better when your ancestors found it harder to see boobs.
Yeah, quite.
And maybe for those young men who basically go straight into that without doing the other thing first, this effect is possibly, I don't know, a lot worse.
It's a form of arrested development as well, because you never cultivate the skills which allow you to earn a woman in real life.
So that's why plenty of people...
In my generation are just not having sexual relationships at all.
Because why would you?
If you've got more women than your ancestors would ever see naked at your fingertips and your brain doesn't know the difference other than the acute depression you will feel after engaging in this sort of shameful addiction, then why should you go out and risk heartbreak is what many men are thinking.
That's what's leading to the herbivores in Japan becoming a widespread phenomenon of men just checking out the dating market entirely.
You're becoming genetic cul-de-sac for screen whores.
Not a very healthy lifestyle habit, gentlemen.
So, we've seen one really bad example.
Another problem with the technology is an area of legislation which is currently being looked into by both parties in America, and it's being looked into over here as well.
And there's a clip from a BBC documentary called Deepfake, I wanted to show you this because I think this is something that, unless you really don't care about the other party being involved when you get your rocks off, and bear in mind if you are looking at porn you can never actually verify whether or not the women participated consensually, so that's a moral concern, this is something that I think everyone should be on board with legislating.
Let's just watch this brief clip, please.
I wanted to look deeper into Face Magic, which is the app that's advertising to download on Google Play and the Apple App Stores.
And this is the pop-up that came up advertising the app on the porn site, Make AI Porn in a Second.
I found multiple threads where users are explaining with a step-by-step guide on how to make deepfake porn using the app FaceMagic online.
And they're using public figures such as the Home Secretary Priti Patel as examples of how to make this porn.
And they then posted these videos on these forums asking the other members to comment on it.
There seems to be a bit of a buzz around face magic for the exact purpose of making deep fakes of people you know.
I mean, they're requesting their daughters, their sisters, mums, aunts, ordinary women's pictures that we're seeing here being posted.
I made a fake of my wife.
My young Latin cousin Chloe, use her please.
I share teen vids and pics to anyone fake my aunt or cousin.
Here's a Facemagic referral link.
Anyone feel like helping me out and faking a girl for me?
She lives in my building.
And someone's responded with free Facemagic referral link for deepfaking, and they've posted the link to download the Facemagic app.
Facemagic is clearly being used to make deepfake porn of ordinary women.
Google and Apple app stores are allowing children as young as 12 years old to access a technology which can be used to create non-consensual porn.
So there's not just the problem with AI and deepfakes with the judicial system, for example.
I mean, we saw with the Kyle Rittenhouse trial where an AI enhancement tool added pixels to a video and it made it look like his gun was pointed upwards rather than downwards.
Yeah.
So, there's not just a problem with verifying actual crimes happening, but here, let's put it this way, this is the creation of a non-consensual likeness of someone increasingly indistinguishable from reality.
It's not just a drawing anymore, which is itself a bit of an issue because drawings are meant to be representations of reality in one way, shape, or form, and you're normalising your own habits.
This is...
Something so compromising that even if you create it and just use it for private use, if this leaks out to the world, this will often not be told apart from something that's authentic.
My libertarian instincts are definitely rubbing up against this being pretty bloody creepy.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, there's been a bipartisan effort in America to go against this, right?
So, if we can go to the next one, please.
There's a Florida State Senator who's a Democrat, but this has been co-signed by Ron DeSantis as well, who is seeking to make the creation or distribution of deepfakes and revenge porn into a felony.
Senator Lauren Book, she had photos stolen of her from her iCloud, some of which were naked, some of which had a distinguishing surgical scar, I believe, shown in it.
So you could authenticate that it was her.
So she's proposed Senate Bill 1798, and it would make stealing sexually explicit images from someone's phone or any other digital device illegal.
Obviously distributing materials which are explicit without their consent would be illegal.
And then fabricating these using things like face swap and distributing that material as well would be some form of digital sex trafficking violation.
That seems pretty non-objectual.
It's also being made illegal in the UK with the Online Safety Bill, which the Online Safety Bill is a terrible bit of legislation, as we've covered a few times before.
However, that is actually a tenant which makes a lot of sense.
To protect not only children from the exposure to pornography, but also people who have not made it consensually, but are still being featured in these videos as an act of revenge.
Seems fairly sensible, right?
So then we go over to Mike Lee's bill.
And he's introduced a bill to protect children online, is how he's framing it.
So he's doing what the Democrats often do, where they say the Children's Safety Act, and it just bans all assault rifles.
Well, he's doing the Shielding Children's Retinas from Egregious Exposure on the Net Act.
The acronym being SCREEN, which is quite clever, which would direct the Federal Communications Commission, the FCC, to issue a rule requiring all commercial porn websites to adopt age-verification technology to ensure children cannot access pornographic content.
So, if we look at the SCREEN Act here...
It says that 17 states...
If we can go over to the PDF, please, John.
I've done the one-pager, but there is a multiple-pager.
But the one-pager reads a lot better, frankly.
17 states have recognised internet porn as public health risk.
So we can see here how the American national divorce is deepening.
there are irreconcilable moral quandaries surrounding abortion and now particularly pornography.
It directs the Federal Communications Commission to issue a rule to require commercial porn websites to adopt age verification tech to ensure users of the websites are not children.
Bear in mind, I think the average age now for viewing pornography is 12.
move.
Not good, particularly because it's an addictive substance.
So I can't disagree with anything you're saying, but this is not that far away from the Jordan Peterson thing where he was pushing recently, where you've got to be verified, and ultimately what that's pushing us towards is some sort of digital ID. My concern is that I do think the existing identification systems would be robust enough to provide it, but of course...
Excuse the phrase.
There is a backdoor here for which they would like to enter to create a digital ID system and centralise it all.
Yeah, you can see that getting rolled into some government solution.
It's going to be, okay, well, look, we've got this government solution, so that's the one that you have to use.
The old method of, I don't know, verifying a credit card or something, that's going to go out the window.
Yeah, and this is the frustration with the position of, in principle, I actually endorse the complete ablution of the internet of this kind of stuff.
It's just how can you carry it out without it tipping over into a tyranny is actually a legitimate question, but I'd rather have that conversation in terms of how can you do this sensibly, prudentially, and not have it be captured, rather than not commit to the prior position of saying it does deserve to not exist because it's horrible.
I mean, I think I'm still at the point where I've got to say, you know, expunge it from your own internet.
Don't make that choice for other people.
I do think there should be some sort of standard put in place, though, to prevent children accessing it.
Well, shouldn't that be parents?
Sure, that's fair.
I do think that there is something on behalf of the producers to do it, because we know the producers do not want to put anything beyond, are you sure you're 18?
You want to click OK? OK, we've stopped you from here on out, right?
That is a faux disclaimer by a market.
Who knows?
They are actually reliant on a children's market, not just for ad revenue in the present, but to make sure they're addicted young, and then they stay on the services when they get their own credit card.
Again, I don't disagree.
It's just I've spent my whole life pushing back against government-making rules and saying what you can and can't do.
It's difficult to see how it can be rolled out.
Maybe it should be with the parents, but I am hearing what you're saying.
This is my issue with Mike Lee.
He also grants the FCC the necessary enforcement powers, both civil penalty and injunctive relief, to enforce the verification rule.
So then he also introduced alongside this his framework for what is and what isn't legitimate prosecution of pornography.
And here's my main problems with this.
He introduces the Interstate Obscenity Act.
So, Washington DC Senator Mike Lee introduced the Interstate Obscenity Act, Definition Act rather, to establish a national definition of obscenity that would apply to obscene content transmitted via interstate or foreign communications.
This is borne out because currently they have an obscenity definition from a prior case, which we'll look at shortly, and also the other standard which is...
Well, what is the definition of pornography?
I know it when I see it, and you can't legislate off of that.
So, So, I don't know if you're familiar with the Miller test, but this, a little bit of case study here.
If we go to the next one, please.
In the majority opinion for this case, the Miller case, Chief Justice Warren Burger outlined what he called guidelines for jurors in obscenity cases.
These guidelines are the three prongs of the Miller test.
Number one, whether the average person applying contemporary community standards would find the work taken as a whole appeals to the prurient interest.
So, overly sexual, salacious...
Appetites.
That's a very nebulous definition.
Well, especially since it's by the current standards.
Contemporary community.
And those have been doing a lot of movement, yeah.
Yes.
And we can appeal to moral intuitions like discuss sensitivity and say, that's gross.
But that normative standard is best policed, not through law enforcement.
And who do they select to do this sort of picking?
Because I can sort of see a version of this where, you know, porn with, I don't know, a boy and a girl, that's the stuff that gets chucked off.
Whereas all the more...
LGBT community friendly?
Yes, that sort of stuff.
That's the stuff that's considered acceptable.
The kind included in school libraries as Project Veritas.
Yeah, exactly.
And we can get that because the American Supreme Court seems to change hands pretty much every time a president comes in.
Because they have lifetime appointments, so pretty worrying stuff.
Number two, whether the work depicts or describes in a patently offensive way sexual conduct specifically defined by the applicable state law.
That's a bit more concrete.
I think might reiterate on that better in the next one.
So point two is okay.
It's defining an act rather than speech.
Good.
And number three, whether the work taken as a whole lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.
Again, a nebulous appeal to some sort of ordained authority in saying this is artistic merit, this is scientific.
If you say that, oh, but this is just sex ed for kids, this is inclusion for the LGBT community, which is why you have to see butt plugs being demonstrated on video, then you can sneak that past in a Democrat city.
And they will.
Yes, they will try to.
So, Miller here, the...
The defendant, in the case, who was an interstate pornographer, argued that there should be a national obscenity standard, not one based on local community standards.
But the majority disagreed, famously writing that it is neither realistic nor constitutionally sound to read the First Amendment as requiring the people of Maine or Mississippi accept public depiction of conduct found tolerable in Las Vegas or New York.
That's a very important point that Mike Lee is also going to run up against, which is the Federalists in his own party will not like the fact that these are trying to apply a blanket obscenity definition, From the legislative level.
And I'm very sympathetic to that point as well.
Yeah, I do think, were you able to on certain issues, like abortion, for example, where it is clearly the ending of an innocent human life and murder on that standard is wrong, but if it's inside the womb it's apparently okay.
I do think you can legislate abortion on the federal level, it's just there's no political appetite to do it at the moment.
That's fair.
So I do think there are some federal issues which warrant being legislated.
But the American system itself leans towards the state governorship, so it's just going to be a roadblock to ever doing any legislation like that.
Because, I mean, look, we've had a period of the last 15 years where the line on pornography in social media has been drawn by Californians.
Yeah.
Probably the worst people in the world.
That's where the industry is based.
So they have a perverse incentive to be the most permissive.
Mm-hmm.
So if we go to Senator Lee's bill that defines obscenity, redefines obscenity.
He says, the term obscene or obscenity, when used in a manner or context that explicitly refers to, or could apply to, a picture, image, graphic, image, file, film, videotape, or other visual depiction, includes a picture, image, graphic, file, film, videotape, or other visual depiction that, number one, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest in nudity, sex, or excretion. taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest in Right.
So you're reusing the language of the former definition.
But prurient means excessively sexual.
So that sentence means, appeals to the excessively sexual interest in nudity, sex or excretion.
That's very nebulous.
Yeah.
Because, again, if you're an educator, and you're saying it is within the appropriate bounds to teach kink to children to make sure they're inclusive LGBTQ lifestyles, then that's thrown out by the relative state.
And it's in the worst place.
They're doing it right now.
Exactly.
And it would be in a situation which is the least appropriate context.
So, impossible to define.
The second one.
Depicts, describes, or represents an actual or simulated sex act or sexual contact, actual or simulated normal or perverted sex act, or lewd exhibition of the genitals with the objective intent to arouse, titillate, or gratify the sexual desires of a person.
Until that last bit, that was actually pretty good.
Because again, you're defining something which is act-focused.
If you're trying to be censorious...
And not all censorship is bad, for example, child pornography.
You can censor based on action.
Speech is a very difficult one to go by.
So if you're setting the standards of these are objective acts like the recent drag queen who got up on stage with a cage around their fake breasts to children, you can say, you are jiggling fake breasts to children.
That is not speech or expression.
That is public nudity, therefore, bam!
The issue you have is the bottom there.
He says he wants to read intent out, but he says, the objective intent to arouse, titillate, or gratify.
Right.
First of all, objective intent.
Oxymoronic.
Because you cannot objectively define basically what amounts to a thought crime.
And if you're like one sargon of a cad who decides to send interracial gay pornography to a bunch of white nationalists who are stalking your family, is your objective intent there to arouse them?
Because I think they're just going to be disgusted.
So you have wiggle room to argue why you are sharing this.
It goes back to the education side of things where you can say, no, I'm just educating young kids.
I'm not trying to arouse young children.
Definitely not.
I would never be a groomer.
No need to worry.
So, the third example, the final one.
Taken as a whole, it lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.
Now, it doesn't even have contemporary community standards in there as to who sets the value.
That's just the arbitrary setting by a judge.
But that's got it written all over it anyway.
Yeah.
So, who sets that standard?
It's a frustrating standard.
We're not going to have it.
And we've just had two years of Trust the Science, and you're saying it should...
Appeal to scientific value.
Right.
Or political value.
So if they've just determined that scientifically, like the anti-Nazi sex-positive psychologists did in Germany in the 60s, that we have to give children over to paedophiles to prevent Nazism, and that's a scientific proof, if that happens, then suddenly pornography is allowed again.
So the senator here, spurious grounds.
So he has noble intentions, but I don't believe this bill is going anywhere.
But it still annoyed the right people.
So before we wrap up, let's just have a look.
First of all, the Free Speech Coalition are coming out and complaining about it.
Who do you think the Free Speech Coalition are?
They're basically a union for the porn industry.
But they name themselves Free Speech Coalition.
Now first of all, porn isn't speech, ladies and gentlemen, because if you simulate pornographic acts in the middle of Times Square, you'll be arrested.
But under the First Amendment, you can yell in Times Square and get away with it.
So I think there's a slight distinction between action and speech here.
So don't trust these people that are doing a Trojan horse through it.
So I like that he's upset this lot.
That's quite good.
There's also the gay press that are in a meltdown.
If we go to the next one, Senator Mike Lee wants to make it illegal for you to swap nudes with guys across state lines.
So Senator Mike Lee is the anti-LGBT Kyle Rittenhouse.
Again, I like him already.
Now, we're not going to read this article, but there is a little bit in here that is a major self-report.
Given the alarming rate of teenage exposure to pornography, I believe the government must act quickly to enact protections that have a real chance of surviving First Amendment scrutiny.
We require age verification at brick and mortar shops.
Why don't we require it online?
Lee said in the statement.
Perfectly reasonable.
So this article then says, Of course, any millennial who grew up cruising on sites like Gay.com as a closeted teenager knows how to get around that filter.
So you're encouraging children to access porn sites.
Moving on.
Speaking of the awful flags, there's a new one.
Oh, it's the Imperial Japanese Pride Flag.
So, for all viewers who haven't seen this, there's the Conservative Pride Flag, and then you have the intruding triangle of the black and brown bodies and AIDS. Wait, the AIDS is in there?
Yeah, the black stress must be AIDS, apparently.
I'm not joking.
So they think all black and brown people are associated with AIDS. I didn't say that.
I didn't either.
That's being progressive.
Then there's the...
I think that's the asexuals of the intersex.
What, the circle?
Yeah.
And in the middle, there's an umbrella, as in the Umbrella Corporation logo, that is now dead centre and awaiting the other half of the triangle to intrude in it from the right.
And I did tweet out that it's quite ironic that it has the umbrella logo because I also associate the Umbrella Corporation and prostitutes with infectious disease.
So they're clearly promoting some kind of syphilistic zombie apocalypse here, which is quite delicious, actually.
Though, I think this is quite an insidious thing to do.
I shouldn't say that word because I only got arrested last time I said that in conjunction with the LGBTs, but there you go.
Because I think they're trying to codify sex work as an identity.
And under civil rights...
Identity?
Yes, because...
But who's that person over there?
It's a tart.
LAUGHTER Don't be whore-phobic.
I think what they're trying to do is, under the framework of expanding civil rights legislation, which successive Democrat administrations, which will happen because they're just so excellent at politics, the most popular president of all time, of course, so they'll be voted back in.
I think that the expansion of civil rights will codify identities that have, like nations unto themselves, actual flags...
And therefore you cannot legislate or criticise against them.
And then they get the full plethora of protections and you can't say anything, you can get arrested if you...
Bingo!
So the OnlyFans whores get representation.
And many of them don't get taxation because, of course, we remember the IRS crackdown found plenty that were dodging a little bit of money given to the government on their premium Snapchat.
I agree with a lot of this, but I still come back to I think the solution has to be strengthening the family unit so that you get it from the nub rather than a government solution.
Everything in that bill and everything we talked about, I can just see it getting manipulated for malevolent reasons.
I agree.
I think, for me, even though I think it's a very noble goal to pursue the banning of pornography, and I totally endorse it, that is not the bill to do it with.
However, we can revel in one small victory.
Pornhub's YouTube channel and TikTok and Instagram have been banned.
And nothing of value is lost, ladies and gentlemen, so the tide is turning against the tacit permission of degeneracy in society.
Let's keep up the pressure.
That's because Twitter's being run by a friend rather than an enemy at the moment.
Well, they haven't been banned on Twitter yet, but 13% of all Twitter is porn.
Get on it, Elon.
Wow.
Okay.
On another porny note, we've now got the big story of the year, which is the Pornhub Analytics for 2022 have been released.
I think this is interesting because this is the...
Biggest data dump on revealed preferences.
People will tell you all sorts of things in an opinion poll, but this data, this data doesn't lie.
So it's worth a look, see where the culture have got to, see if we can spot any degeneracy creeping into it.
Any!
There might be a bit, yes.
Before we do, let's talk about our third plug for today, which is another contemplations, which is why sex is binary.
So that goes into the biology of it all, something that possibly the people in the next segment that we're going to talk about would, you know, worth remembering.
Okay, so we've got the link to...
And this is more or less safe for work.
There's no images in here.
This is actually on their website, so we've given them site tracking.
So this is a slightly different site.
So this is, you know, Pornhub slash Insight.
So yeah, it is on the site, but it's...
Relatively, you know, like I say, safer work.
So, the top data from 2022, and this is why I mentioned the sex is binary thing, is the transgender category has grown 75% this year.
Right, so not a social contagion in the slightest.
Yeah.
So, there is something going on there, yeah.
It is now the most viewed category in Brazil, which is...
They're disappointing Brazilians.
I thought it would have been Thailand.
Especially because Rory's just come back.
Maybe, well, maybe that's why, because he's back, so the traffic has dropped.
Apparently, the, what was it, so I always get confused with this transgender thing, which way round it goes, but the MTF, male to female.
So that's the blokes.
Yeah, blokes.
That's Rachel Levine.
That's what they used to call chicks with dicks, but it's actually dudes with tits, isn't it?
That's the one.
Yes, it's your average Ontario teacher.
Okay.
Quite right.
So that is up 22%.
But the other way, which surprises me, so the trans...
Oh, male...
No, female to male.
So Elliot Page.
Yes.
So that is up 115%.
Not to say that Elliot Page has been doing this, don't sue us.
Yeah, and for some reason, that's the one which is incredibly popular with women.
Don't quite know why.
That might be because lesbians are searching it because they're intrigued to see what would happen if they went through the transition.
So it might be just for research purposes.
I haven't tried to think this one through too much.
And the other thing, so you asked me before we came on to this, is this Generation Z degeneracy?
But actually, this transgender rise is most prominent between 25 and 34, the Generation Y. They search for these transgender videos, 34% more than other age groups.
So, yeah, it's unfortunate.
Orgy videos, right?
They're up 113% this past year.
I'm not really sure, because that's like end of civilisation stuff.
That was going to be my point.
It's very Bacchic, Fall of Rome, Matic Utopia style.
We're just going to bang while the entire society implodes around us.
Whenever you look into Fall of Rome, you always hear about the vast increase of orgies at the end of the Empire, and that was up significantly.
Well, you hear about the gender confusion at the end of the Weimar period as well, and there were quite a few bathhouses there.
So if history is anything to go by, a rise in transgenderism and orgies spells the end of time, and that looks like where we've got to at the moment.
The only thing that I did quite like is I saw that the outdoor category grew by 121%.
Now that seems wholesome to me because we've just had two years of lockdown and lots of people are working from home now.
So people going on Pornhub to see a bit of the outdoors, I thought, well, that's not too bad.
That might be more research as well because considering the Great Collapse is about to come, this might be all the preppers figuring out the best spots to do it.
Quite.
And the only one that confused me was the feet category is up 38%, especially amongst women.
In fact, amongst women it was up 145%, which slightly confused me because...
There can't be blokes' feet, can it?
There must be.
Well, no, no.
Blokes have awful feet.
It must be women's feet that are the ones on the subject of video.
So why are women 145% up on women's feet?
No matter how...
Where you fall on the political spectrum.
We just had a conversation about whether or not you should ban pornography.
You came from a more libertarian perspective.
I came from a more conservative perspective.
I think we can all agree that if you are a foot fetishist, you're fucking disgusting.
I apologise for swearing, but there's no other words for it.
Compared to some of the other categories that are moving up, I think that feet is relatively wholesome.
I mean, it used to be the case years ago that if you were a foot fetish, then you were the lowest of the low.
But, you know, these days you're relatively...
You know, your church deacon, basically.
We found the space at the bottom of the barrel, and apparently there was space to scrape underneath it.
Yeah, absolutely.
Significant space.
Right.
So, this was also interesting.
So, 2020's most searched terms.
Now, last week, I did a segment on the end of US hegemony.
And I talked about how the European powers, the Anglo powers have been declining, and the Asian powers have been rising, and that's what we're seeing in porn terms as well.
The Asians are absolutely dominating at the moment.
Is this all the white nationalists with yellow fever?
It could be, but apparently the most searched term is hentai, and I'm such a boomer, I didn't know what this was until yesterday when I had to ask around the office.
Well, unfortunately, I think there's a sizable contingent of people who think that...
So the argument I just made in the past segment is that you can't ever verify whether or not porn is made consensually, because you don't know if the other participant gave their consent or in their right mind before they're doing it.
Well, the hentai is apparently the cartoon stuff.
Exactly.
So what I'm saying is quite a few people will use that as a justification to say, but it's just a drawing, bro.
Right.
And this was what happened when we addressed the Balenciaga scandal.
And Harry and I had a conversation about the fact that in the background of the Balenciaga bear shoot, or the handbag shoot, was a surprise.
Just to recap for these reviews, my understanding is that this is a fashion house that started to put out coded images of devil worship, paedophilia children along with their brands.
Well, in the background of one of the handbag shoots was a printout of a Supreme Court decision that allowed child pornography under the auspices that it was a drawing.
And Harry and I said, that's utterly degenerate and you should be in prison.
Was there a child in the image as well?
Not in that one, no.
But there were in the other ones.
So it fit a trend.
Very disturbing trend.
And Harry and I were very much against that.
Unfortunately, it attracted the wrong side of YouTube because there were plenty of comments of people saying, oh, why do you want to lock me up?
It's just a drawing, bro.
It's like, right.
What this is, is this is the normalizing of a degenerate habit of With the wiggle room to justify your addiction because you're saying, oh, it's not a real person or no real people are actually involved in creating it beyond just doing the voices or it's just CGI. No, the drawing is a representative of a person.
And so, as we just said, with the increasing amount of trans porn being consumed and it may play into a social contagion, what are you normalizing in your own mind and rationalizing away as it's just a drawing?
You know it's an unhealthy habit.
Stop it.
Well, that is now the number one search.
And then also dominating from the Asian sector is the Japanese, pinay, and the term Asian.
What's pinay?
Why am I asking this?
That's Filipinos, I think.
Oh, okay.
I think they've got two terms, pinay for the girls and pinoy for the boys, I think.
I think that's the way it works.
Right, okay.
Yeah, so the Asians are dominating there.
Right, now we're going to skip over all the performers.
Oh yes, we've got a map of the United States and the most searched term in each particular area.
Now, I've got to say, it kind of...
How to phrase this?
So, the South has basically various versions of black interest, is probably the best way of describing it.
Right, okay.
You know, fair enough.
That's alright, okay.
Texas, they go with panties, which...
Seems to fit the bill for a website like this.
Very tame in the Republican state.
Arizona, they go for Latina.
That makes sense.
Yeah, now I've just got to pull up my map of the US, so I don't get confused with which state is which.
Right, then we go on to California is all about the Asians.
Now, when you get to Oregon...
That'll be the Ruth Koreans?
Yeah.
Well, possibly.
Now, the other disturbance...
Wait, hang on.
I've just worked out where Oregon is.
Yeah, yeah.
What the...
So if you thought I was disturbed when I found out what hentai was, furries.
So this is apparently when people dress up in suits like foxes and badgers.
Well, they're like children's holiday park entertainers.
Yes, yes, those.
Um...
And apparently that is the big thing in Oregon.
Anyway, so when you start moving...
Are you really telling me we shouldn't ban porn?
Yeah, I've got to say the argument does get weaker when you actually start looking into some of the specifics.
And then moving across the Midwest, yeah, very disappointing.
Who's the one that's done goth?
Well, we've got Mormon in Utah, which again, that could...
That makes sense.
Yeah, because presumably they've got a little Mormons or something.
That seems like an oxymoron, but...
Well, not my thing, but I mean, okay, fair enough.
You've got more hentai as you go across, but it starts to get really bad when you get up into the northeast.
Wisconsin has gone for pegging.
It's very unfortunate, I think.
We've got Indiana.
They go for the Furries as well.
And then the rest of the Northeast.
I can't even read them out.
Isn't Indiana Mike Pence's state?
Yes.
Yes.
He's probably not contributing to the numbers.
And Pete Buttigieg.
Right, okay.
He probably is contributing to the numbers.
Top countries that are accessing this website.
So United States is basically doing the same as it does with printing money, which is outstripping everybody else put together, although United Kingdom is well in there.
I am really looking forward to the end of the American Empire.
Yeah.
Time spent per visit.
Now, this is one where the Brits do relatively well, because apparently the time spent per visit was 9 minutes and 54 seconds, but the Brits, they have more staying power, so they managed 10 minutes and 5 seconds, which is a bit more impressive.
Women apparently spend an extra 6 seconds on the site compared to men, which is an eye-opening stat.
If only chaps knew.
If you just hang in there for another 6 minutes...
You know, she could join you as well.
Six seconds.
Six seconds.
That was a very telling Freudian slip.
But yeah, quite.
So that was interesting.
Right, what else have we got?
Well, actually, there's a really interesting stat, though, because average visit duration worldwide is down one second.
So that could either speak to the number of people is dropping off.
Productivity and gains, isn't it?
I suppose economising it, yeah.
Anyway, or it could even worse speak to the increasing desensitisation that people are having, so they're seeking out more and more extreme novelty and therefore cutting their usage time.
Yeah, we've got some of that novelty in the closing bit.
Right, we've got a map of the world, the most searched for area.
Now Africa has gone for ebony, which seems fair enough.
They're still not very politically correct then.
No, and actually the US, their most view category is Ebony as well.
Russians, they've gone for Russians.
I think the map's down, John.
Why am I asking?
Indians have gone for Indians, again, fair enough.
Someone's gone Reality.
Yeah, interesting.
But for Chinese, and basically the whole of Southeast Asia, they've gone for Japanese, which is a bit...
So the Imperial Japanese finally got their belief in racial purity and conquest across the Asian Pacific.
Just did it for a different mechanism, yeah.
And Brazil, they've gone for transgender.
Yes, very disappointing.
That's not good.
Well, the Canadians have all gone for lesbians.
Well, I mean, that's...
The overwhelming...
Hang on, why have the overwhelming number of the US gone for...
Oh, it might actually be that there's more black people consuming porn in the US as a demographic, so that might skew...
Possibly.
These numbers don't break that out, but we can speculate.
We can only ask the ONS, I suppose.
And there's a section below this which is categories that have been viewed the longest.
Now, I found this interesting because apparently the longest viewed section is mature at 18 minutes and 41 seconds.
Well, I know where that will be.
Because the age demographic viewing, that will probably take the longest.
Really?
I just thought, you know, perhaps instead if you had selected perhaps something a bit younger and hotter, you could have shaved eight minutes off that and...
I think the training...
That's possible.
I don't know.
Whichever way you want to look at it.
It's a marathon, not a sprint.
Depends how you view it.
Tattooed women.
Now, this is going to be revealing a bit of my own preferences, but I've never kind of got the whole tattooed thing.
I don't quite see that.
And I've always just thought, well, you know, that's my take on it.
I do have a friend who's an alt-girl connoisseur, and he can enjoy it, but not my thing, thank you.
But now we've got empirical evidence that we're basically right, because, you know, the tattooed women, you know, they're up there on 18 minutes and 14 seconds, so empirical evidence that actually we're not necessarily wrong on that.
So, yes.
Muscular men was the shortest, so the gays are letting the side down.
I wasn't going to mention that one.
I suppose it's...
That's so embarrassing.
And then the last thing is I'm going to scroll straight past the entire gay section and just go to the top relative categories by generation.
And this is the really unfortunate thing.
So you see the Gen Z... They're all about their threesomes and virtual reality and cosplay.
So it's a bit degenerate, but not that bad.
But it's the Gen Y. They're the ones who are too strong on the transgender and some of the other things.
I probably better not read out too much of this.
It's not getting monetized.
Yeah, no, quite not.
So, yes, I thought that was an interesting run-through of, you know, where we are with revealed preferences from people.
The only other thing, which I did find, if I can see it, was there was a bit about...
Oh, yes.
You pivot to the UK, which is on a slightly different tab, and we can see what people in the UK searched out most often.
Is the one for migrant going up?
Scotland!
Oh, my God!
Yep, that's...
Well, that really says a lot about the independence movement, doesn't it?
So, for our viewers...
I can't believe I'm going to read this out.
So, Scotland has got Pegging as its main one.
The North East of England has got Chav, which makes sense.
The North West has got Chubby, also makes sense.
Yorkshire and Humber has got Milf.
Oh, is Swindon in...?
No, it's in South West, which has got Glory Hole...
Oh, I thought we were in the West Midlands.
An Indian would have made sense, given my drive to work every morning.
West Midlands does make sense to be Indian, because that's Birmingham.
I see, okay.
Wales has got...
What's ASMR? Right, so I didn't know that one either, and I looked it up, and I still don't know.
So it's something about audio stimulation, something...
Oh, is that the thing where women talk into microphones?
Or brushing their hair, apparently.
Stuff like that.
That's some...
I thought that was just like what Twitch thoughts did, but that's not...
That's what they're into in Wales.
I don't know what the other acronyms...
Well, I know the East Midlands like fat women.
I don't know what the other one is.
Greater London the most is Turkish, which is really surprising.
So that is apparently jerk-off instruction.
Because presumably the chaps in Essex don't know how to go about this activity without being instructed on it.
They're only doing it for research purposes.
Yeah, this is educating Essex all over here.
South-east where I'm from, point of view.
I mean, I can get behind that.
Point of view?
Is that...
Well, the idea is that...
Oh, is that like VR? It's all filmed like it's you there, so...
Right, I thought this...
Which is probably the least degenerate.
I thought that would just be interviews or something, but...
No, it's certainly better than Scotland, isn't it?
Yeah.
Whereabouts in the world are you from?
Technically southeastern London, so I'm on the Ken border.
So apparently I want to see myself as a Turkish man.
Yeah.
I thought it was Turkish women, but I don't know.
So, I think we've had a well-rounded take on pornography today, possibly banning it, and if we're not...
Oh dear, what has he pulled up now?
I'm not even going to look at that one because...
Top relative categories.
What does that mean?
You know what?
Oh, and Scotland have let themselves down again.
What is with Scotland...
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Right.
Well, anyway.
Scotland's a new Soho.
I think we've covered this one.
Let's jump to the comments before we dig any deeper.
Poor choice of words.
Anybody notice something about the ectolife?
About the language that they're using?
Every time it's called a baby.
It's called a baby.
However, according to feminists and leftists, It's a baby if it's in this pod, but it's not a baby if it's in a womb.
It kind of destroys the entire abortion debate, doesn't it?
No, it doesn't, actually.
And the reason it doesn't is because it doesn't matter where the baby's located.
It's not about place.
It's about consent.
And that's why I'm doing a thing in the New Year of why consent is not a reliable crux for moral decision-making.
Because their idea is, if you put the money in to manufacture the baby outside your body, you clearly wanted it.
And it wouldn't prohibit the abortion argument because if you didn't want it partway through the baby's development you could just press a button and it gets incinerated or something.
And the idea of abortion is you might have consented to the sex which should mean that you consent to the possibility of pregnancy or you might consent to carry the baby up until term but the moment you rescind consent that's when you can crack its head open with a hammer and liquidate it and pull it out with forceps.
So, let's not go for the consent argument.
The interesting point about the language, actually, with the Ectolife thing, is that they kept saying zone or building.
You can have the pod in your building.
Not home, but you're rented.
You can have a pod in your pod.
I love our WEF-sponsored future, don't you?
Yeah, it is a bit worrying.
What's the next one?
A Gentleman's Observations of Ohio, Chapter 2.
The People.
According to my girlfriend, the Midwest is the south of the north, and I found that quirky little statement to be true.
The people in Ohio are prone to saying, y'all, and they do have that characteristic twang Brits often associate with Americans, that is to say, the rural ones, not the urban ones, and their personalities match.
They're easygoing, and it's genuinely hard to imagine them being angry or upset, and they tend to have that unspoken, non-intrusive cheeriness about them compared to the quiet reservedness of most Brits.
They're very welcoming, and they're a pleasure to be around.
I do want to go to America at some point.
I don't want to go to the big cities.
I don't want to go to the commonly flyover states.
What I wanted to do before I was a taken man was be Colin in Love Actually.
Yeah, I unfortunately can't go to the US anymore because I'm not jabbed.
No, me neither.
They don't let me in.
So I guess I'm lucky I went once.
Unfortunately, I wasted my visit by going to Vegas.
I have technically been to Vegas, but I wasn't born.
My parents went on a honeymoon.
Did they get married there?
No, they didn't.
No, they weren't ordained by an Elvis impersonator, but my mum couldn't drink the entire time they were there.
Oh, that's a bit of a waste.
Yes, it's never been held over me in my entire life because they haven't been back.
Definitely never been mentioned.
Go on CS Cooper.
Recently I submitted a paper to Parliament, to the Australian Parliament, advocating for why we should lift the ban on nuclear.
Looks like things are happening down under.
It's like the Australian version of you there, Connor.
Also, if anyone wants to read the paper, I'm happy to send it to them, so shoot me a message on my website.
What is it, Callum?
Callum is not here.
He's behind the curtain.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
Though me and Callum will be doing the Christmas weekend segment, so you can wake up with us on Christmas Day.
I don't know anything about Australian...
Well, I know a tiny bit about Australian politics, but I don't know anything about the Labour Party's willingness to construct nuclear power plants.
But if there's anything like the other left-wing movements throughout the world, your paper won't get anywhere.
Such as the Conservative Party?
Yes, exactly.
Go on, Sophie.
Have you guys ever considered that feminists are basically telling women to be like Ebeneez and Scrooge?
To become old and alone, sitting on a pile of gold, but no one to share it with because you only live for yourself?
Don't be a feminist and Merry Christmas!
Ghosts of Dead Egg Past.
Based, yep.
We got any more?
No, just that woman walking into frame again.
I did introduce that video and I realised it's going to go out to the YouTube crowd and it's going to be like, I'm talking about porn in this segment.
Anyway, here's this video of a woman walking into shot with her breasts.
That's going to be terrible.
Comments!
Screwtape, good to see you back on.
Dan, how do you recommend we invest in the coming backlash to the green energy disaster?
Any good publicly traded nuclear companies?
This is not financial advice, of course.
Yeah, you have to be super careful around anything that even sounds like you're giving financial advice.
You need to be regulated.
I have been in the past to give that, and I'm not currently, because I haven't kept my...
We're going to have plenty more premium content coming out in the new year.
Won't spoil anything.
Yes, so the UK energy crisis.
Omar is saying the more modular the grid is, the more robust.
I'd like to see strides made to get individual households generating their own power beyond solar and wind.
I'm sure nothing will scare the government more than a population that doesn't rely on them to stay warm.
Yes, I mean, actually, I did get Solo installed in my house exactly for the reason that I wanted to be independent of the grid as much as possible, and I also got a wood-burning stove installed for the same reason.
They're trying to ban those.
Yeah, well, good luck.
That's, again, why I wanted to get it while I could.
Christina is saying the pandemic showed that the on-demand economy and the Green Party put so much faith in collapse when we need it its most.
It's shown that we need to be self-sufficient.
Yeah, absolutely.
Of course we need to be as self-sufficient as possible.
Adrian is saying that the problem with our useless politicians is they only care about getting re-elected.
So anything that takes longer than five year intervals to the next election they don't care about.
I mean, absolutely right.
The timescale of politics does not match the timescale of anything else, such as our economy, the energy cycle, and we're going to get further and further into this mess as a result.
This is why Carl and I, I think before you joined actually, came up with a bit of a proposal we were banding about, and everyone else shot it down, but I thought it was a great idea, of you don't have the MPs vote on legislation.
You have the MPs propose legislation, and then you have a jury system of you're only there for a couple of months, but it's government by lot, so you replace the House of Lords with basically...
Baz from the North, West Country Farmer, Nigerian Grandad that are just put in there.
They can't be captured by special interests in that short amount of time.
And so they go, sorry, sorry, what?
You're proposing we increase immigration?
No, no, no, no.
Go back and redraft a bill, put some sea mines in the channel, and then come talk to us, you know, and they'll be recycled out.
That seems a lot more sensible.
I mean, I'm sure with technology today, you get it to the point where everybody had the ability to vote directly.
I mean, I wouldn't trust that, especially because the...
Code is often proprietary.
I mean, they keep that private with the voting machine companies over the years.
I think just do like a panel of 12 and live stream every single vote and then should be a good laugh as well.
That is certainly better than what we have right now and would result in significant improvements, I'm sure.
So yeah, I quite like that one.
Right, what else have people said?
So Lord Novar has said...
Another one!
Yeah, and that was the one where we got some leaked text messages from Liz Trust's phone because she used her own personal phone.
No, apparently there's a new one that's just been blown up.
Oh, really?
As she's saying, yeah, because Nord Stream was already bombed.
Definitely not by us.
Definitely not by the Americans.
Apparently she's saying there's a new one right now, so...
I will check that out, but we do know from what we've already seen that four minutes after that gas pipeline blew up, Liz Trust sent a text message to the US State Department head saying it's done.
So, no idea what that's referring to.
Possibly under the...
Her career.
Yeah, it could be that or it could be something else.
Oh, Sophie again is saying, what really frustrates me is somehow everybody's been convinced it's Russia's fault and only Russia's fault.
Yeah, exactly.
So, I mean, the energy prices were quite clearly going up, coinciding around with lockdown.
It was not coinciding with February.
And actually, you can go further than that.
You can say that the inflation rate was officially 5%, I believe, back in February.
5.5, I think.
Yeah, 5.5 back in February before the invasion.
So, yeah, absolutely, I don't agree with the narrative line on that one either.
Okay.
Right, next segment.
Yep.
Someone online, the best way to avoid having your nudes leaked is not to take nude pictures.
Right.
So, the issue you're going to have there, I mean, number one, between spouses, committed parties, you're not going to stop it, neither is it that much of a problem if you're married and whatnot.
But if you are worried about leaks, don't transfer them over publicly available networks and don't keep it in an iCloud, which is quite sensible.
However, the morality of the issue is purely on the side of the hackers, because you have no entitlement to see anyone else naked.
And that's why the fappening that happened years ago with leaking Jennifer Lawrence and some other young starlets and whatnot...
Yeah, it's kind of gross.
Like, it is weird to see how people descend like vultures and going, oh, I've seen her in a film, I've got to see her naked.
It's like, well, she didn't want you to see her naked, so it's a bit gross, but okay.
SH Silver.
Let's not try to be useful pawns for the boomer neocon libs with a puricatanical crusade against porn.
Let's not phrase your reasonable disagreements with you're a useful idiot for the regime, shall we?
Don't take kindly to that.
Rather than giving the state further excuse to create digital IDs under the guise of protecting kids, the responsibility has to be with parents alone to protect kids from online porn.
And the internet at large.
Don't tell a man he can't have steak because a baby can't chew it.
I don't think you're a man if you're addicted to pornography.
There we go.
I think you're basically a digital serf.
I think you're consuming the extent of internet fentanyl for sex.
And you're also...
How can you be a man if you're addicted to screen whores rather than having an actual relationship?
Look, I am going to be moralising on this issue.
And I'm not going to say take out internet literacy from the hands of the parents, but if schools, internet service providers using 5G and whatnot, and your own household realtors don't have parental locks and controls, and your kids aren't more internet savvy than you, then you're going to have a pretty hard time cracking down on the most addictive substance known to man.
It's not like they're going out buying drugs, it's not like they're doing it in person.
Thank you for dismissing me as a neocon shill, but there are actually reasonable objections to this.
Come on.
Omar...
Oh, sorry.
My mouse is locked up, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave it to you to take the comments.
That's fine.
That's no problem.
Omar, at the end of the day, nothing can save children from bad parenting.
Kids will obtain an adult's ID or access through other devices.
We can't even prevent kids accessing 18-rated games and movies.
I mean, you can just buy it for them.
How the hell are they going to achieve success if they're anything else?
I'm also not saying like a...
In principle, it should not exist for children to access.
If they circumvent and...
I don't know what that means, John.
If you can circumvent and...
Make sure that they can't access it as much as possible, then you've done your part.
But you're not going to play whack-a-mole forever.
It's just about a general preventative principle.
So I do agree.
You can't really lock down the digital world.
They tried this with music and films and nothing worked on it.
And to be clear, when I said I think you should be relying on the family, that is not to physically stop them because any kid in there will be able to get around it if they really want to.
It's to instill a moral system where that is not at least your primary way of engaging with the opposite sex.
That's my take on that.
I agree.
And I think that is the primary way we should go about it.
I do think that there is justification for prudent state legislation if only we weren't governed by retards.
And the issue is, are you ever not going to be governed by retards?
But I still maintain a commitment to the principal idea that, much like the death penalty, I think it is a moral good were it to be carried out by good people, but do I trust the existing or future people to be good enough to carry it out?
And if you've got Kamala Harris types executing people, no.
If you've got LGBT educators determining which porn can stay on the internet and which can be used for education, no.
Because, I mean, you've got to the state in the US now where people are being arrested for praying outside of abortion clinics.
Yeah, that happened to the moment today.
Yeah.
What did I put in the tweet?
A society which imprisons the mourners to appease the murderers will not last.
That's the only way you can put it.
Rose, I would argue the overuse of porn is a symptom of the decay of society, not cause.
I think it's a figure eight, because I don't think you can accuse 11-year-old boys who access this habitually and addictively as...
As all of them coming from broken homes.
I'm sorry, you can't.
Like, not all of them have horrific...
I know there's a massive single motherhood rate and all this sort of stuff, but it's not all of them have been nonced on to get them into porn.
It's that lots of them are accessing porn and then that's warping their sexual appetites out into the future.
So it's a symbiotic issue.
Joan of Arc, back around 2009, Linden Lab, owners of the Virtual World Second Life, tried adult verification like what Lee proposes.
You're to enter information from your government ID and have a valid CC on file that's been charged successfully.
How did the kids as young as 12 get it?
They waited for mum and dad to be asleep and grabbed their wallets so I could report these minors to the moon and back and LL did nothing about 12-year-old boys actively being groomed in LGBT kink by their dads.
What does Lee Bill do that LL didn't try it without success?
You have to show someone an ID to notify...
Don't know what that means.
Offline, to avoid kids just taking their parents' ID to verify.
Yeah, that is also the issue with the enforcement mechanism.
It's just that they're going to nick it from the wallet.
Which is why it has to be done on a moral level.
Yeah.
Look, I agree.
I'm just having the conversation about how to do it, but I remain committed to the principle of it, at least.
Severin, you really need to go out and see what is available for dating for young guys.
Japanese decide to be herbivores because women there are honestly not worth any effort.
Okay, sure, and I see this criticism a lot.
I think you're just admitting defeat there.
I do.
Look, I know the dating landscape is cancerous, but as Carl has made the point before, I think there's a lot of cope by people of my generation, maybe slightly older, because we have been so unmoored from the metaphysic of love that we see everything as a material transaction.
We're also trying to be inhibited from risk.
So lots of guys don't want to go out and risk getting turned down.
I've got some sympathy for this point.
I think something like 80% of women are pursuing...
20% of men.
Something along those lines.
So I've got some sympathy for this point.
But maybe improve yourself.
Get yourself down to the gym.
I have to agree.
Look, you can at least try and meet you halfway.
And if the women then still reject you, then you...
At least know you did your best and you can live with yourself at the moment.
I bet lots of men are denigrating themselves because they know they're not all they could be and instead of blaming it on the women.
And I think that is true.
There's plenty to blame on the women, particularly if they're doing OnlyFans or they're all single moms.
One, get off dating apps because they're cancerous.
Two, go to special interest circles like a church or a political convention where you're going to meet people with like-minded values.
And three, be the commanding presence in your relationship.
If you're not steering it, then if you think that women can be capricious enough to drop you and leave you, then that is going to be the driving principle of a relationship, and you're never going to feel secure.
So be the man that she relies on instead, and you'll feel much more secure.
X, Y, and Z. Like you, I'm not clear on the details how to enforce this virtual digital environment.
However, all jurisdictions within the Anglosphere already have a tradition of prohibited materials for children, e.g.
alcohol sales and provision.
Yeah, it's just determining how you can enforce it and what's appropriate, and I agree with that.
On to the last segment.
Bass Tape at the top, who I believe used to work in this industry.
Okay.
I think he was on the digital side, not on the performance side, so he might have some insights.
Right, okay.
The reason trans videos are up is because they keep mixing in with the straight videos.
I hope he doesn't know from experience.
Despite there being a whole separate trans section, I assume they're using the trans women are literally women so this is for straight men argument to try and force it through.
I mean, this is what a friend told me.
So this is a bit of a...
That was actually one of the categories in the stats, the transgender surprise.
Now, you're probably too young to know about this, but when I was a young lad, there was a film about that.
Is that Crocodile Dundee?
No, The Crying Game.
I didn't think there was a transgender surprise in Crocodile Dundee.
Yeah, there was.
Was there?
Struth, that's not a Sheila, that's a bloke!
Yes!
I must go there sometime.
I remember thinking that would be a bad thing, but if that's the mainstream now on these websites, that's very unfortunate.
You don't want to see that.
He did say force it through, so it's his Trojan whores.
Omar, it seems the spike in porn use and fetishes might be another side effect of the lockdown, so that's very true.
Yeah, that probably makes sense.
Doesn't OnlyFans usage go up like 200% in 2020 or something insane like that?
The impact of the rising Kuma consumers could be devastating as a world war and social economic development, especially to birth rates.
The Great Reset is truly setting us back in so many ways more than we imagined.
I don't know if OnlyFans is one of the direct outgrows of the Great Reset, but I do know plugging yourself into a Robert Nozick-style experience machine, because all of your experiences can be directly simulated and it's renewable, would be an argument.
Because if you were having only simulation sex, like how they do in Demolition Man, where they think actual sex is disgusting, if you can do that, then you're maximising pleasure with direct brain stimulation, and you're minimising resource consumption because you're only in a small box, you've only got a headset on, and it's all powered by wind.
Yeah, I mean, it just points to a deeper problem with society, all of this stuff.
Yeah.
I mean, what to say?
Little Nicky Sturgeon's wearing something a little bit not suitable for work.
Yeah, maybe we should ask Dank about this.
Oh, let's not.
No, no, no, no, no.
What Dank post?
Definitely not.
No.
God, go and watch the- Maybe he's responsible for at least 10% of that, 55%.
Who knows?
Go and watch the roast of Count Dankula.
I was subjected to having to learn about what cumflation means.
Don't tell me.
You know the balloons in Shrek?
Um, no, I haven't watched Shrek.
Sorry, what?
You've got kids, you haven't watched Shrek.
Shrek's a great film.
Well, it sounds like there was something a bit weird in it.
No, I was...
Moving on.
Speaking of Pornhub, what the hell are we going to do about this level of utter degeneracy?
It's getting worse.
Police your fellow brothers out there, genuinely.
Someone analogised my mandate in my Nick Dixon's video on Patrice O'Neill of...
Don't promise a woman love to get sex because you're sending an emotional suicide bomber off into another man's life as leave the campsite tidier than you found it.
And that's what you've got to do with your brothers.
It's worldwide bros before hoes, guys.
Come on.
If you see your guy talking kuma talk, smack it down.
That's kind of profound, actually.
Thank you.
It's the only time I've been accused of that.
Henry Ashman, Oregon, the state in which Portland resides, likes furries.
Imagine my shock.
Haven't we seen Furry Antifa?
Oh, I'm sure they all are.
Right Wing Watch the other day, I think they deleted the tweet, but there were people in bunny costumes showing up to Drag Queen Story Hour with rifles, and they were saying a new right-wing militia has shown up called the Bunny Wuffin, and they're policing Drag Queen Story Hour.
There needs to be another flood, doesn't there?
See, I'm converting the office one bit of degeneracy at a time.
Kevin Fox, Mexicans spend the least time on Pornhub.
Well, they don't have much time between naps and the other thing.
No, I think they're mowing too many lawns to be able to...
Well, most of the Mexicans, they've got on the highest birth rates.
They're probably actually just doing it enough in real life to not need to...
Well, yeah, that's the solution, isn't it?
Good on Mexico.
Well done.
Get a girlfriend.
That's the solution to degeneracy.
Callum, as bad as regular porn is with people and so on, what you can find in hentai, not surprising why just eagles instead of real ones, I don't know what that means.
That isn't English.
I have to say, this map you've shown, wow, this is amazing, and this is for the US. What's going to be for Europe or the rest of the world?
What are Asians looking at?
Oh, never mind for the emperor.
I think he's accusing the Asians of being even more degenerate.
Or actually, when he says for the emperor, does he mean the Japanese?
Because the Japanese are the most popular category in Asia.
So they're really...
I was about to say erecting there, but that's a very bad choice of words.
And they're the most popular category overall.
No, it was hentai, wasn't it?
And they were second.
So the fake Japanese and the real Japanese are just dominating the planet.
And I thought that stuff was censored as well, but I don't know.
Censored?
On porn websites?
No, I'm pretty sure that the Japanese stuff is censored.
I could be making that up, but I'm pretty sure that is the case.
But then I suppose if you're watching people in...
I see John Furiously typing.
We're going to find out, is it?
John, are you about to be self-reported?
We're about to get a Japanese legal requirement.
Oh, right, there we go.
So then why are they the global...
If you're watching people in bunny suits, presumably it doesn't matter.
This is the Squid Games.
But then feet were up there as well, so...
I'm just depressed.
Bald Eagle.
That sounds like a euphemism.
Are we sure on the Pornhub is using members from users, or are they using the numbers...
Sorry, I said members.
Phrasing!
Using the numbers from users, or are they using the numbers from the researchers?
I don't...
I think it's straight from the site.
That's what they claim, anyway.
God knows.
I don't know what the methodology is.
And the last one I'm going to read out is, General Hyping, no, where's the Marty McFly jacket?
My day is ruined.
You were wearing the body warmer about five minutes before you got on.
But this part of the office is just like the warmest part because it's got all the lights.
Then he went back.
Back to the future!
I haven't got flu this week so I can sort of function normally.
Brilliant.
And that's enough talking about fluids for one day.
Thank you very much for watching.
You can go and apply to be an editor if you want to cut more clips of us talking about...
I really hate you, man.
I really hope people don't start clipping this last segment.
John, can we delete this?
Anyway, we're back tomorrow at 1 o'clock.
