	Hello, and welcome to the podcast for Lotus Eaters.
	I'm joined by Carl and Stelios.
	Hello.
	And today we'll be talking about old world Christianity is less forgiving of the parasite industry.
	I love being off YouTube and Spanish leftists being Spanish leftists.
	So it's going to be a shit segment.
	All right, let's get into the news, shall we?
	Have you guys ever heard of Fowler?
	No.
	Fowler?
	Little place in New South Wales.
	I don't think there's a New North Wales.
	I always found the New South Wales thing so weirdly specific.
	I'm sure we've talked about it before, but there's a place there called Fowler, as you can see.
	It's just a little parliamentary constituency or electoral division, as they call them, in the state of New South Wales.
	And I thought we'd talk a little bit about Fowler.
	So if you live in Fowler, do leave in the comments Fowler mentioned.
	I love that meme.
	Me too, but no one's going to do that because Falloway is a very diverse electoral division in Australia.
	A strong one.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Of the entire constituency, only 40% of them were born in Australia.
	60% first generation immigrant.
	71% of which, of just the entire population, had both parents born overseas.
	So 60% first generation, but also a significant percentage second generation.
	The overall, apparently the general percentage of all Australians with both parents born overseas is 47%.
	Seems crazy to me, but okay.
	Well, they have really high immigration.
	Yeah, I know.
	So do we, but you know, I guess old world country, new world country.
	So the point is there were 66,978 people in Fowler who were reported being the labor force.
	Only half of those are employed full time.
	God, I love diversity.
	27% are employed part-time and the rest are unemployed or not seeking work.
	10% registered, 10.5% are unemployed, so seeking work.
	This is of course nearly double the rest of the figure for New South Wales.
	It's still better than Birmingham.
	It is way better than Birmingham.
	It's true.
	It's true.
	It is way better.
	I mean, I'm seeing on this screen here that the people there are Vietnamese and Chinese, the largest ethnic groups.
	Yeah, but that's only sort of like 15% of them or something.
	So it's not, there's not that many.
	Um, the point is it's a very diverse little melting pot.
	Uh, and so the reason that I'm talking about Fowler, of course, in New South Wales is, um, the consequences of diversity.
	There was a stabbing of a priest as he was live streaming.
	Um, I'm not going to show you the video, obviously, because it's not very nice to watch, but it's not, I mean, you don't see anything, but it's pretty horrific either way.
	Um, This, uh, priest is just there on the live stream talking about God from the Christian perspective, because he is an Orthodox priest and someone's comes up and starts stabbing him in the face and in the hands and wherever else till the congregation get hold of him.
	Um, I'd never heard of this guy, but apparently he's pretty popular on social media.
	Um, but, uh, this was a Syrian Orthodox, uh, priest, uh, bit more, sorry, Bishop Mari Emmanuel, who was preaching at Christ the Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley in Sydney's, in Sydney's West on Monday, just after 7 PM, when a man dressed in dark hoodie walked up the altar and allegedly stabbed him multiple times.
	One thing to say here is that it's really good that the congregation actually did something about it.
	They didn't just have their phones.
	We'll talk about what the congregation did about this, because what this really does, the consequence of this, is really highlight the difference in Western Christianity to Eastern Christianity.
	Um, it's very different.
	Um, anyway, so, uh, Dai Li, the, um, MP for Fowler is obviously very worried about this new detention.
	I thought we'd just watch quite a bit to get through.
	It's just a little bit.
	It's not every day.
	The gathering last night and the injuries of the police.
	I think, I don't know if the declaration will help or hinder our community.
	What makes you say that?
	What are your concerns around that?
	My concern is obviously, you know, look, concern is in terms of our multi-faith communities here and that will heighten the The tension that obviously we are for months now experiencing overseas and this is just, it's just going to add to it.
	So I fear, I fear and I hope that the Premier and that the Police Commissioner know what they're doing.
	They really know what they're doing when they're declaring this and I hope that this will allow them to investigate the incident as quickly as possible.
	It is a multi-faith community, as in, that's got deep underlying tensions.
	So what this is, is a series of small ethnic enclaves that hate each other.
	The Hindus and the Christians hate each other?
	Who could have known that this would be the case?
	The Daoists and the Christians hate each other?
	But the point is you can tell that she's, we'll get to who it is, you can tell that she's terrified, right?
	Because she is expecting massive outbreaks of ethnic violence to come from this event.
	That's what she's most afraid of.
	Which is exactly, she sounds exactly the same as our politicians.
	When something like that happens and they're like, Oh God, please just deescalate, just deescalate because this is actually a tinderbox.
	And that was a spark.
	So, uh, not good.
	Um, so let's talk about the suspect.
	Well, it was a 16 year old boy.
	So we don't know his name.
	1616.
	Yep.
	16 years old.
	He's a teenager who had been previously arrested for knife crimes.
	He was found in possession of a flick knife and charged with being armed with intent to commit an indictable offense, stalking and or intimidation, and recklessly destroying or damaging property.
	He was involved in an incident with a bunch of other teenage boys.
	So, Ascending their best is the way to remember that.
	Um, but he was dismissed on a good behavior bond.
	So it's like, no, you're a good lad.
	Really get out of here.
	You scamp.
	It's just a flick knife.
	Uh, they didn't take it seriously and he was just let off for whatever he'd done.
	Uh, and he was quote, not suspected to have been radicalized.
	Come on.
	He's not on a terrorist watch list.
	He's one of Joe Biden's kids.
	I don't.
	How do you just get away with that?
	That's a great question because like when you actually see the video of him after he was captured, you see him smirking as he's being held down, which is, um, just infuriating.
	Shouting Allahu Akbar.
	Yeah, like spoiler alert, I guess.
	Or Daoist.
	I wanted to, I should have made sure.
	So he's shouting Allah o Akbar and he's smirking after stabbing a 51-year-old Christian priest.
	Okay, so now in the West, we would say, well, can't be helped.
	He's not a real Muslim.
	Actually, he's mentally ill, don't worry about it.
	He's just mentally ill.
	We're not gonna look back in anger.
	I'm sure he's deeply ashamed of his actions.
	In fact, if we just bring more Muslims in, they won't feel the need to stab us.
	And that's the Western perspective.
	But the Assyrian Orthodox Church has something of the Old World blood in them still.
	Because they were like, yeah, we do look back in anger, actually.
	We look back in apoplectic rage.
	And so someone cut his fingers off.
	I didn't know that.
	Pretty old world.
	It's not entirely clear who did this.
	The police chief did not clarify whether the teen had severed his own fingers or if it had been done to him.
	Hillary Clinton style.
	He cut his own fingers off.
	You see he had a knife in the video.
	Yeah, and there we go.
	Obviously, he wasn't holding the handle.
	Obviously, he's holding the blade and stabbing with the handle.
	Yeah, no, I'm going to guess he didn't cut his own fingers off.
	Probably enough.
	None of the congregation are saying who might have done it.
	Yeah, there are pictures going around.
	It's literally... Why are they saying allegedly?
	Uh, legal reasons, probably.
	Okay.
	Um, I mean, he's on video doing it, but anyway.
	Uh, yeah.
	So they're, they are looking back in anger, actually.
	Um, they were quite angry.
	And so after this happened, they went out into the streets.
	Um, literally thousands of them and started chanting, bring him out to us.
	What you going to do?
	Yeah.
	Why, why, why do you want him to come out guys?
	Shake his hand.
	There's not much of it left.
	Yeah.
	Again, very much old world mentality.
	The community has been wronged by a criminal and they know that the law is not going to sufficiently deliver the catharsis of revenge upon him.
	And so they wish to have him brought out into the street where I'm sure they would just ask him some pressing questions.
	Was it you who did it?
	It was allegedly you who did it, wasn't it?
	That's what all the media is saying.
	Raise both your hands if you didn't do it.
	The point is this Old World, Middle Eastern, Christian community has something of the Old World still in them.
	Unlike the New World, who say, yep, good point, you did just, you know, blow up a church or whatever, or a hospital or whatever, or a concert for the kids.
	We won't look back in anger.
	There was a vigil outside the hospital and the priest who is recovering, nothing mortal, which is good, priest is recovering, the bishop, sorry, who's recovering, told them all to go home, everything's fine, he'll survive.
	So that's, that's good.
	Did he say anything like justice was served?
	Not to my knowledge.
	But I thought it might be worth asking as well, why did this smirking 16 year old try to murder a Christian bishop?
	And it turns out that the bishop himself is a popular TikTok star, loved by his community.
	Bishop Mari Emmanuel.
	He's got hundreds of thousands of followers on TikTok and YouTube and streams his live streams because he's a mildly controversial figure.
	And the media unearthed, I guess you'd call it, they just went through his YouTube channel and TikToks and found him saying, well, base things, to be honest.
	Based Assyrian bishops, like, yeah, no, you know, actually, lockdowns are slavery, mass slavery.
	The threat of COVID was exaggerated, says one Orthodox bishop.
	And he's also been mildly critical of Islam.
	Which, again, is mildly critical of Islam, which may have something to do with it.
	This article actually, just look at this for a minute.
	Stabbed church leader critical of Islam, other faiths.
	What kind of title is this?
	Well, a lot of people notice that the media... A religious man believes in his own faith.
	It's weird.
	What should we do?
	Well, he's not multicultural, right?
	He's not buying into the melting pot because, of course, what the Premier of New South Wales did was call all of the community leaders.
	So you've got the Buddhists, the Muslims, the Hindus, the Christians, the Orthodox Christians, the Catholics.
	And he's like, look, guys, we need to all be on the same page here.
	And it's like, Well, they were just like, well, hang on a second.
	This is a religious question anyway, but what the hell are the Buddhists here for?
	What do we do?
	You know, what are you talking about?
	We're not in favor of stabbing priests in the middle of the church.
	What's going on here?
	But you know, this, no, no, no.
	We've all got to agree, no.
	Agree on what?
	The whole reason we're even different is because we don't agree on anything.
	We've got to agree on the liberal premise of tolerance.
	That's what we all have to agree on.
	Most of us aren't liberals.
	Yep, yep, that's true.
	But they view themselves as the chessboard on which these things can play out.
	I have to note that this is only for the Christians.
	It's not for the other side, because the other side isn't multicultural either.
	That just makes me think that it's state mandated religion.
	It's a double standard.
	I don't know.
	I don't know if I'd say... It's a reality, which is, you know, someone with a conviction who's like, yes, I believe in Christianity.
	Yeah, no.
	If that's a story, if that's an article you can write.
	They're not asking them to agree on tenets of faith, obviously.
	They're asking them to agree that actually we all have to be polite and tolerant and not stab each other in churches or anywhere else.
	Well, that's because it is.
	But the point being, the Assyrians are a persecuted minority in the Middle East because they're Christian.
	Almost every Assyrian is a Christian at this point.
	They're not quite like they were back when I enjoy reading about them.
	And they've faced a significant amount of persecution from the Muslims.
	And so this looks like more persecution from the Muslims coming to the new world from the old to these people.
	Again, it was spoiled already, but yes, this was a terrorist attack because it was clearly done for ideological, religious ideological reasons.
	And so the authorities, the Australian police were like, yes, okay, fair enough.
	We're satisfied that this is a case of religious extremism.
	I'm not going to say the religion.
	You know we can't say the religion.
	Literally, authorities have repeatedly declined to state the religion of the alleged attacker.
	But it was an Islamic religion?
	But it was a Muslim!
	Literally, moments away from the Kanye West meme.
	And it's just, okay, like, we know it was, because he literally went up to them and said, If the bishop didn't get involved in my religion, if he hadn't spoken about my prophet, I wouldn't have come here.
	He just spoke about his own religion, I wouldn't have come and yelled Allah o Akbar.
	It's like, look, you don't have to pretend that we, you know, it's, that we don't know.
	We know, everyone knows this is why he did this.
	This is something that has happened before.
	Um, and so, yeah, so that's the safe things.
	So the interesting thing I found from this was a lot of Western Christians were like, can we not have a Christianity like this?
	Can we not have a Christianity that's got a bit of balls?
	It's just like, you know what?
	You guys don't care.
	Bring them out to us.
	We used to have good balls.
	I mean, all through Catholic Europe, there were some pretty good balls.
	Protestant Reformation had some pretty good balls when we were burning Catholics.
	Yep.
	For very good reasons.
	Yeah.
	How many times did we switch religion in England?
	About like 17 or something?
	Oh, I don't know, but quite a few.
	Mad amount.
	Yeah.
	And every time we did it, we had a good bonfire of each other.
	Yeah.
	I mean, that's literally why we have bonfire night, because we're burning Catholic.
	Yeah.
	Literally what it is.
	National holiday in England for the Catholics.
	Interestingly, for the last 400 years.
	When it comes to local Muslim blows up kids.
	No bonfire night for that one.
	Okay.
	Weird.
	What do you think of all this, Stelios?
	What should I say?
	Well, what I wanted to say before is that, you know, you see all these videos with children fighting and people fighting and they just sit there and, uh, you know, they don't protect the victim of the attack.
	Yeah.
	Well, the, what I meant before was that it's a good thing that they saved the priest from the attacker.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, I just think that, The main people who are responsible for this is obviously the people who are spreading out ideologies who just say go and just kill people just because they slightly differ from you.
	But the main thing I get from this is that the West has an allergy to rule of law.
	And traditional concepts like the concept of the rule of law has now come to be seen for some reason as a sort of harsh thing of the past, a past that should be forgotten.
	And basically we are living in societies that will completely disintegrate unless there is a kind of sense in just saying that basic laws should be applied.
	In what way are you saying this?
	Well, there is an obvious double standard.
	There's an obvious double standard when you have communities, for instance, of people who literally go and say that we don't respect your rules.
	And we want to change your rules, your culture, all your institutions.
	And the response is very relaxed.
	I think that this is basically not upholding the rule of law.
	So I think it's basically just double standards.
	All the standards, there are very strict standards that are applied to Native Western populations, but these same standards aren't applied to others.
	But moreover, I think it speaks to the lack of understanding that the Native Western populations have of other populations around the world.
	Like, for example, I mean, the reason Western Christians are like, oh my God, why doesn't our community act this way?
	It's because they're not like us.
	Sorry.
	This is something that, you know, people should bear in mind, especially politicians, that it's just mathematically inevitable if in a room you just deprive all the oxygen.
	Right now, all of us, just mathematically, it's going to be necessary.
	We're going to gasp for oxygen.
	It just happens.
	If there is no rule of law, we'll have things like that.
	But I think that the politicians at the beginning, they are most afraid that the rule of law will break down, because it looks like actually it's quite a tenuous thing in the melting pot, right?
	As in, the groups themselves don't really respect the law, which is why they're like, no, bring him out to us!
	We're going to deal with him Syrian style.
	I think in some cases it already doesn't exist.
	They just make self-interested judgments.
	So for instance, you have regularly politicians who may live in neighborhoods that haven't been, let's say, obviously affected.
	They have the privilege of saying, well, nothing has really happened.
	Yeah, but I think it's not that.
	I think they are afraid.
	And I mean, I watched a couple of these news reports of the politicians and they They had a palpable sense of dread on them when they were talking about this.
	She's like, look, I really just hope he does a sensible thing.
	They know that what they're standing on is essentially an unexploded volcano.
	They're not protected.
	It's not even that.
	It's more than that.
	We have allowed in a lot of people who are very ethnically particular, they're very connected to their own ancestry and heritage, and they actually bring these ancient grievances against the others here.
	And so now we're sat on this, because I mean like, these borders would have been very Severely enforced?
	Yes.
	Where they came from?
	You know, it's like, okay, you're the Muslim kid, you don't go down there.
	Well, that's literally the argument of why some are not taken back.
	Sure.
	But the point being to bring them into, like, essentially the social contract and say, right, so now we're all just going to follow the same rules and everyone will get along.
	And this is what tolerance is.
	It's like, you can see that the politicians are realizing, hang on a second, that's really, really thin on top of what is actually really deep ethnic hatreds and I mean, these guys would just kill him in the street.
	What is absolutely contradictory is that, you know, you have the argument that they are literally viewing human beings by abstracting community.
	Yeah.
	Because in any community, you're born into it.
	You get acculturated in it.
	You get molded by its norms.
	Yeah.
	So you can't just change a position in the map and all that influence goes away.
	Yeah, and also, of course, people move to where people like them are, because why wouldn't you?
	It's just convenient, if nothing else.
	What benefits are?
	This I just thought was a really good example of why multiculturalism doesn't really work, actually, because the liberal administrators on top of it are just terrified there's going to be mass bloodshed in the streets of New South Wales.
	That's an admission that they lost control of the state.
	Yeah, it's an admission that this method of forming a society doesn't work.
	I mean, only half the people there, or two-thirds, most of them are taxpayers.
	They hate each other.
	They're genuinely afraid of, you know, what will happen to the Muslim community after this Calum is the question on their minds because they're worried that there will be some sort of pogrom or something like that.
	Because there are people from the old world.
	Pogrom?
	Crusade?
	Well, well, no, no, the Orthodox Church never participated in crusades.
	Oh, cringe.
	Yeah.
	I didn't know that.
	Yeah, they were totally against that.
	I thought the Byzantines worked with us.
	They did work with us, but politically, not religiously.
	I mean, 1204 wasn't particularly the best year.
	No.
	I mean, it was kind of a deal breaker.
	Yeah, that's the same.
	I'm just saying, it's a major event.
	That's the Venetians.
	I blame the Venetians for that.
	Well, it was!
	It was the Venetians who did that!
	They're not real Catholics.
	Get rid of them.
	I'm not saying they're not.
	They can be real Catholics.
	I'm probably Catholic.
	I mean, at the time, if you're a crusader, everyone was Catholic.
	Yeah, but the Venetians were definitely, the Doge of Venice was definitely up to his old tricks there.
	But the point being, the Orthodox went into the Crusades.
	But this thing, like, this is just one, again, and this is the latest example.
	I mean, there's been like three stabbings in Sydney in the past, like, three days.
	It's really bad.
	And so this is just the example.
	If you have a culture in which there's, say, homogenous religious sentiment, then this sort of thing doesn't happen.
	This is explicitly because the bishop himself, as you said, believed in his own faith and decided to say that and said, look, I don't believe in that faith.
	And so the old world attitude of, well, this guy doesn't believe my faith.
	I go, this just comes out.
	And the Western liberals are just like, hang on a second.
	I'm not supposed to do that.
	It's like, well, no, that's what they do.
	That's what they've always done.
	That's why you have the sort of settlement elsewhere that you don't have in the West.
	That's what we used to do.
	Why did you think this would be Such an easy ride, you know, but we've got these rules.
	They don't care about your rules.
	You know, you didn't have you caring about the rules as being one of the prerequisites for them to be able to form an ethnic enclave of their old world community.
	You never brought that up.
	I think the current state is very, in a sense, paternalist or maternalist for some people.
	Maternalist.
	Yeah.
	So they literally view They're protected minorities as children who will eventually learn.
	Just, that's not the case.
	Stop doing this.
	And they will harbor these grievances forever.
	So you should have picked your minority group and said, right, we've got to judge immigration based on what we're choosing.
	It's like, I'll just bring everyone in and everyone will just live in the happy rainbow united colors of Venice and future.
	It's like, No.
	I mean, that's just the most naive thing I've ever heard.
	And we see it every goddamn day.
	I mean, it was in 2011 that Angela Merkel was like, yeah, multiculturalism has failed.
	And in the year of our Lord, 2024, we're still dealing with the failure of multiculturalism and nothing will ever be done about it.
	But anyway, just as a quick thing, I'm really, really enjoying the response of the Orthodox Assyrian Church.
	It's more robust than others.
	I guess I'll leave that there.
	A lot of people in the chat were going, I am Stumpticus, so that's why I was losing it.
	Right.
	Talk about the parasite industry, shall we?
	Oh, go on.
	Well, I know it's an old timey job.
	Once upon a time you'd have leeches, but these days I'm talking in the corporate sense, of course.
	Are you dissing leeches?
	Well, leeches are pretty good.
	Leeches were cutting-edge medical technology for a thousand years.
	What, do you work for leech companies now?
	No.
	I just... Use promo code LOTUSEATERS to buy your leeches at the leech farm.
	I just think there are far worse parasites that we could have used as an example.
	Okay, fine.
	Such as leptis.
	Tapeworms.
	Right.
	So you may remember this, spoken about this quite a lot.
	As you can see, it's this goddamn Bloomberg article where they advertise that corporate America has got rid of white people.
	We finally did it, boys.
	And this is the S&P 100.
	It's the 100 biggest American companies.
	They have 300,000 new jobs and 98.4% went to the Browns, whereas the Whites got 6% there.
	Because they're less important.
	Why?
	Sorry, can we go back up to that previous one?
	Which one?
	The one above.
	The one above that?
	There we go, right, this one.
	So, um, that's interesting how the blacks are massively over-represented there.
	Oh, everyone wants them.
	They're like the newest trading card.
	Right, right, okay.
	In fashion.
	Because of George Floyd, which...
	The comparison to that would be weird to make, but there we are.
	But the argument was, because I mean obviously this is morally evil and this is how deep this goes, they show you it's the executives white skin screwed, managers even more screwed, professionals even more screwed, less senior roles massively screwed.
	Like you're just not being hired anywhere near the percentage you are in the country because you're the wrong skin tone.
	Sucks.
	It's literally racial discrimination.
	This is pretty morally evil.
	This is the thing that the biggest American companies, top 100, which of course it's an exponential for how much the economy you represent, how high you get.
	It's a massive chunk of the American economy.
	It's just actively anti-white.
	That's how things are.
	But it was justified, not just on moral lines of kill whitey.
	There were good arguments against it as well, such as, well, it'll make more money.
	Oh, okay.
	I don't know if you guys have ever seen these.
	If that's the case, why did it need racial discrimination in the first place?
	Why wouldn't the companies whose sole job in law is to make more money not be like, well, why would we hire the white guys if they make less money than the browns?
	Because equity.
	But yeah, but the incentive would have already been there to hire the Browns anyway.
	White people love money, but not as much as they hate Brown people.
	I guess that must be the only answer we can come to.
	Well, that was the one that loads of different companies came to.
	So this is a company here called McKinsey.
	And as you can see, this is their article, Diversity Matters Even More, The Case for Holistic Impact.
	And they have a billion words and endless time to write good old crap.
	They're just like, look, trust me.
	I mean, there's a graph in here where they're just like, look, diversity equals more money.
	It's represented here, the dark mode makes it a bit hard to read, but they're showing you that women, browns, more of them equals more chance you won't fail.
	Trust us.
	It's not very comprehensive research, but I remember at university, this was quite common as well, to be told about how, oh, if we have diverse groups, they might have different experiences, which means we'll get more markets and more money.
	And it's endless, as you can see here.
	It just goes on and on, on and on.
	And that's just one thing.
	Did it work?
	Rather crap.
	Delivering through diversity.
	This is their long-term goals for America.
	Investing millions here into diversity.
	You know what also works?
	Just picking a very diverse brand ambassador.
	I'm sure that works economically speaking.
	It seems to be one of the options.
	The last one here is just diversity wins, how inclusion matters.
	In which they're just arguing that we now have made America diverse, so trust me, it's better.
	That's all this is.
	Oh, okay.
	The whole reason I show you this stupid-ass company and their endless billion words on diversity is because this is every company.
	Every bloody company is like this.
	Amazon's got, I don't know, millions of investments in the diversity box.
	To the point that they were arguing, what was it?
	FAF acceptance?
	Oh, yeah.
	On their staff?
	Yeah.
	Do you remember this?
	The facier staff are, the more money you make.
	No, no, that's a good argument.
	We'll get new markets of fat guys.
	You don't need to be fat to sell food to fat people.
	I don't think a thin person could do that.
	There's fat guys who are eating food and be like, well, I only go to the restaurants that have fat people running them.
	Yeah, I've heard the rationale, because the rationale is that, you know, you don't go and eat the food of someone who doesn't even have it.
	Never trust a skinny chef.
	Yeah.
	The fat community is... Why would you trust a skinny chef?
	Yeah, that's a fair point.
	So they're basically just gloating here, like, haha, we got away with it.
	We made America more diverse.
	But they also get paid for it.
	Yeah, they also get paid for all this crap.
	And well, the news is it didn't work.
	Oh, really?
	I can't believe it.
	I can't believe that after a hundred years of capitalism, they weren't just like, it turns out that just hiring Browns because they're Brown wasn't a profitable thing to do.
	I mean, again, why wouldn't they have done it before?
	Just racism!
	Like, yeah, I do love money, says billionaire fat cat, but I just hate them browns.
	It's like, no, that's not what they think.
	I'm just thinking, if this argument was ever true, that you need to do a racism and have a workforce of entirely brown people, I can think of one industry in American history that should have been shitting money.
	Yeah, all those arguments say, well, the industrial north just outpaced the south, so the south was doomed to lose.
	But okay, why was it?
	It's not that profitable then, is it?
	Anyway, how the brown workforce turns out.
	Celebrity doesn't pay.
	It's a myth.
	A local corporation found out.
	So this is the Times.
	This is a major writing outlet.
	Diversity does not improve financial performance upon fines.
	And this is a long-standing claim by McKinsey, as you saw there, and their corporate executive team.
	And, well, another group decided they would try and replicate their studies, showing that diversity equaled more money.
	Sorry, just a quick thing on this.
	That's a really damning headline.
	Doesn't matter.
	It's just damning.
	It's also not surprising.
	No, no.
	No one was really stupid enough to think, hmm, more brown people equals more money.
	Operation Hire.
	It's just mad.
	But the inverse of this is more brown people equals less money.
	Right.
	Not quite.
	Right.
	Okay.
	Here's the details.
	The authors said they tried to replicate the McKinsey work, but found no statistical significant difference between the likelihood of financial outperformance between businesses that had diverse leaderships and those without.
	Right.
	Because, of course, all of those companies from the start in the senior leadership team, they hired Browns because they were Brown, nothing else.
	They're literally just trading cards.
	Yeah.
	I've got a couple of them.
	Would you like a couple of them?
	We can trade people.
	I mean, what are the stats on them?
	I don't know.
	I'll give you a 40 for the whites and 60 for the blacks.
	You know what is interesting about it?
	It's again the issue of meritocracy.
	We are so much bombarded by people who are saying that, you know, it doesn't matter.
	Marriage doesn't matter.
	The individual doesn't matter.
	How much they worry doesn't matter.
	Well, it matters.
	Well, I think the reality is that these people who were hired as diversity hires don't really do anything and get paid to be there.
	That seems to be how they're actually dealt with.
	I remember... Pandered to.
	Yeah, who was that stupid lady who worked for the BBC who was getting paid quarter mil to do nothing?
	Miss Sarpong.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	She did three-day week or something.
	Diversity ambassador or something like that.
	Her achievement of working three days a week was that there was going to be a conference at the end of the year where a bunch of people were going to congratulate them on being brown.
	Four of a million for that.
	I think these people were just hired for that purpose, to say, I've got one of them.
	Tokenism, yes.
	Just to give you an idea, there have been diversity officers in West Virginia, especially when it comes to education, who were getting around close to about a million dollars, just to draft a report that says, you know, diversity is a strength.
	They didn't even... I'll do that for half a million, you know.
	So anyway, they asked McKinsey because, of course, after that organization there that had been touting for years about how more browns equals more money didn't work, they responded by saying that their studies had shown that companies having more diverse leadership teams are more successful and they are driving real business results.
	They couldn't say what results because it wasn't money.
	It didn't work.
	They tried to replicate the same study, the data's just not there.
	No, no, no, no.
	Callum, we're getting results.
	These are not results that are tangible financial results.
	These are results that are based on DEI and BRIDGE, whatever it's called now.
	Oh, my melanin score.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Exactly.
	Our results are conceptual and in the melanin sphere, not in the yellow, gold, green sphere that you might care about as a white man.
	Yeah.
	So the paper that's responding to McKinsey, they decided to actually take a look at the S&P 500.
	So they expanded it to the next 400 companies to get a better sample.
	And they just couldn't replicate the same results.
	It just wasn't there.
	They said their test found no statistical significant relations between ethnic diversity of executives and profits, sales growth, gross margins, return on assets, return on equity, and total shareholder return over the period of 2015 to 2019.
	So literally, it doesn't work.
	They then went on to write that their air findings don't necessarily show that diversity doesn't make more money.
	Which doesn't make sense because that's the claim.
	You investigate it and find that it didn't.
	But then they give this weird line where they're just like, well, we don't disprove that more Browns could equal more money.
	We just haven't found the Higgs boson yet.
	Well, no, no.
	Are they suggesting that it makes no difference at all?
	Their evidence says it makes basically no difference.
	But then they write at the end of their study, they write, by the way, we don't know if maybe, maybe you could hire more Browns and that would make more money.
	Which just screams of fear.
	I mean, yeah, it absolutely does.
	They should have just made the moral argument from the start.
	You would think.
	Yeah.
	To be fair, they are trying to make a statistical analysis.
	I know.
	That was clearly not the way to go.
	Yeah, so then they write at the end of it, nor do they speak to any social or moral contributions that racial ethnic diversity in the U.S.
	executives provide.
	Ah, yes, no more money, but I've got so much more moral contributions from my token black.
	Such research is worthwhile and important, they write, and we hope that it will be undertaken.
	That's amazing.
	Immaterial capital.
	It is, but what I love about it is that the source of morality is proximity to Browns.
	That's how the good people.
	As long as you're always within 15 feet of a brown person, you're Jesus.
	Yeah, I mean, thankfully in Swindon, that's not a problem.
	You can punch as many babies as you like, you're still round brown people, so you're alright.
	You're a good guy.
	Amazing.
	Yeah, I kind of think that the people writing that live in fear, because, you know, here's the thing, here's their article, right?
	Yeah, they do live in fear, yeah.
	Why would you write that at the end?
	Why would you be like, well, clearly hiring browns makes no difference.
	But, you know, we haven't mentioned the moral contributions of Barry Browns.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	Think about your guilds, right, with the Christians.
	So look, we were worried this was going to destroy the profitability of the company.
	It hasn't!
	So we have the best of all worlds.
	We've got the money we were making before and proximity to Browns.
	Yeah.
	So we've got, you know, finance and morals.
	So I take a look at their numbers because they said don't matter.
	Oh, yeah, right.
	So they said we find a 54% of S&P 500 firms in the top executive race ethnicity ranked quartile have a positive industry adjusted EDIT margin.
	This is their measurement.
	Whereas those at the bottom quartile was 51.2% meaning there's a difference of 2.8% chance of success, which is not statistically significant because the error margin was 6%.
	Right.
	So they just put chocolate up for nothing, right?
	Yeah.
	Then you look at the graph.
	There's the graph.
	Do you see the trend line?
	Because I sure don't.
	I mean, it's just nothing.
	It's just not data.
	But yeah, there's a diversity plotted against profitability, and it's just squiggles.
	So this is what I mean by a parasitic industry here.
	Yeah.
	Where you have nothing.
	I remember seeing... I wonder if John can pull this up, actually.
	Load up a tab and write in chicken academic paper, because I want to show this absolute joke that people did back in the day, which is they decided they were going to see if peer-reviewed journals were any good.
	It's that first link there.
	Perfect.
	In which they decided they would write chicken paper.
	Every word is just chicken.
	If we get this back on screen, it'd zoom in a little bit.
	The title is Chicken, Chicken, Chicken.
	Chicken, Chicken.
	It's from Doug here, University of Washington.
	Doug Chickazongla.
	Yeah, that's a good point.
	Chicken in, chicken, chicken, chicken, then chicken out.
	If you compromise chicken with chicken, you end up with chicken.
	Yeah.
	You recycle the chicken.
	I can see how this goes.
	I mean, technically it's not wrong.
	No, I love that.
	Chicken, chicken, 90%, chicken, chicken.
	Chicken, chicken, 1987, chicken, chicken.
	And this goes on and on.
	There's graphs.
	Look at this graph.
	We've got data points.
	Chicken ratios.
	We've got some flow graphs here.
	Chicken, chicken, chicken.
	Chicken, CCC, CCC, and equals chicken, chicken.
	Here's some algorithms.
	It's true.
	You all see some chicken equations?
	Yeah, I do.
	Yeah, we've got them.
	Don't worry about that.
	And we've got some more graphs.
	Chicken, sigma over chicken equals chicken.
	And I want to go back to that.
	What is this?
	This is a waste of my time!
	This is a mistake!
	You're sitting in this industry, whose ultimate purpose is to argue that browns equals more money, and then you did your research and ended up with this.
	This scattergraph.
	I mean, it looks like someone's been shooting a shotgun or something.
	It's just silly.
	So, there we are.
	But, I mean, everyone knows this industry is bullshit.
	It's complete parasitic.
	But I wanted to make a human case now.
	We'll just go real close.
	Just before we go on, I think the people who run these industries should feel pretty good about themselves, right?
	Not the chicken one.
	I mean, don't get me wrong, I appreciate chicken as much as the next man.
	But because they must be like, well, look, what this really tells us is that we can just select people for arbitrary characteristics rather than for expertise and skills and knowledge and experience and things like this.
	And the institution itself is so well managed, so structured that the institution doesn't actually change.
	We still make the same amount of profit at the end of it.
	That's a well constructed institution.
	Yeah, for how long?
	Well, I'm not saying forever.
	Because in the time period they're talking, they only actually hired those people to be diversity tokens.
	Whereas that intro article there, that's obviously Arthur George Floyd.
	So this research went to 2019.
	So post-George Floyd, if you replace the entire institution with brown people, because they're brown... I'm just saying that the people who made the institution should feel good about themselves.
	Do what they're supposed to.
	Sure, it'll go well in the SP500, which... Forever.
	Yes, graph just go up.
	It doesn't actually, it's just a flat line.
	Anyway, moving on.
	But I just wanted to show on a very human level what's going on, because I saw this.
	This blew up, and this is Carl over here.
	Now, Carl has posted that he boarded a flight in the early morning wearing his MIT jacket.
	As you can see there, it's got a little MIT.
	Yep.
	The guy next to him is, what does he call him, the seatmate?
	Weird.
	He says, did you, you know, he says, basketball.
	And he says, no, engineering.
	Look at the age of the guy.
	Oh, you look like a basketball player.
	Sorry, how old is he?
	Yeah, obviously stupid.
	How tall is he?
	What prompted him to think that I was doing basketball?
	And he posts a picture of himself.
	And obviously the point being, I'm a black man.
	He thinks I play basketball because I'm not.
	Oh no, the oppression.
	The racism never ends.
	I will find more of it.
	Trust me.
	And the reason this blew up, because otherwise it would have just been that, right?
	Is people checked out his LinkedIn.
	Does he have basketball on it?
	He's never done basketball.
	I mean, you've got a case there, but as you can see, the he-him has got to be a hint.
	So he did actually train as an engineer.
	We'll get to that in a minute.
	His full-time job, though, is not engineering.
	He's a basketball coach.
	No, it's not basketball coach.
	Nothing to do with basketball.
	What is he doing in his spare time?
	He's vice president for equity and inclusion at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
	No, I do engineering.
	Oh, do you really?
	Social engineering.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Do you really?
	People were asking, why didn't you turn to this man who assumed because you're black, you do basketball?
	No, I'm a diversity hire.
	No, because I'm black, I do diversity hiring.
	Because that would have been more embarrassing, wouldn't it?
	Yeah, it would, yeah.
	And if you see the third one there, Senior Vice Provost and Chief Inclusion Officer and Professor of THR Practice.
	Whatever that means.
	But I mentioned he did actually do some training.
	So he did a master's degree in material science and engineering.
	He did do four years and then a master's.
	So he did five years of engineering, material science.
	He did do that.
	And he did do some engineering roles, as you can see here with his experience.
	He was the executive director of the National Society of Black Engineers.
	Right.
	Executive Director, MIT Engineering Outreach Programs.
	Another one of his jobs.
	Okay.
	And the last one being National Chairperson of the National Society of Black Engineers.
	So his role in engineering was to be black.
	So he did do the engineering degree, but then used it just to be a black man.
	That was it.
	I also can't get over, how does the National Society of Black Engineers have an N as its logo?
	But that's a whole other question.
	I mean, I can't even imagine, like, yeah, yeah, I'm professionally white.
	Yeah, I'm just the white engineer who does the National Society of White Engineers.
	I was the senior white engineer advisor, and now I've become the white engineer diversity officer who hires other white engineers.
	There's another one there.
	Senior Vice President of the United Negro College Fund.
	Really?
	Because that's the thing.
	He did the Master's, right?
	And you would have thought a normal human being, even though... You'd have done engineering with that engineering knowledge.
	Even if you get pigeonholed as the black engineer.
	Yeah.
	Whatever.
	Make it your logo.
	Yeah.
	I can still, you know, I can still at least make things.
	He then went on to do an educational degree in racial identity.
	That's actually amazing to be honest.
	time studying racial identity professionally at a college than engineering and has of course ever since never worked in engineering always worked in racial identity that's actually his entire career that's actually amazing to be honest it's hilarious it's amazing that some the system can sustain people like this because he went to university like you can see here in the 80s and then through the 80s did the engineering and then the 2000s did the racial identity degree Right.
	Fantastic.
	And then ever since, so for like 20 odd years, he's just been working as a professional black man.
	I love that he had to go to Harvard.
	Well, I've got to learn how to be a black man.
	I don't want to be bad or something.
	Is there a 15 year years gap?
	I think there's a lot more if you click on more experiences, so that would answer your question.
	Okay.
	But the point being, that's what this man did, why he's a bit of a joke.
	But obviously, the incentives are what they are.
	This is why it's a parasitical institution, because he's a material scientist, so if you did a material science engineer degree, what would be your average salary?
	Apparently, it's about 78,000 US dollars.
	Not terrible.
	But if you're a vice president, and he is, of diversity inclusion at MIT, 200 grand.
	Oh!
	Median 200 grand.
	See, now this explains everything.
	I mean, you're just an idiot.
	Like, you're there going, well, don't you want the respect of having been an engineer and made things?
	Like, no, I want the money that they're going to give me because I'm a black man.
	Professional black man.
	200 grand a year.
	I think that's totally rational.
	Totally lucid.
	I would have done the same thing.
	I mean, sort of, you know.
	Someone's done well.
	Yeah.
	You have indeed.
	I'm gonna get three times the salary just by being black.
	You'll probably get paid more than most basketball players, let's be honest, as well, so there's that.
	Possibly, yeah.
	So, yeah.
	Don't know what to do with this, but I just find it funny how every single day of the year I'm able to find more and more evidence about how parasitical this whole thing is.
	Yeah, it's not exactly bringing value, is it?
	Just pure extraction.
	Yeah.
	Alright, well, let's... I respect the hustles, to be honest.
	If I could get paid 200 grand a year to be the professional white guy in the room, sure, I'd do it.
	It's 200 grand.
	Good money.
	Looking for employees, right?
	Hello to cedars.com.
	You just need a white guy to just turn up and be like, yeah, I do white studies and I'm a white guy.
	I'm professional.
	I'll do it.
	It's not my first choice of career, but that's a lot of money.
	Professional white guy.
	I'll never dance.
	Don't worry.
	I'm polite.
	I drink tea.
	You know, I'm just saying.
	Anyway.
	Right.
	Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Freddy Eaters.
	Today, Mele turns out to have been right.
	He was very prophetic.
	He tried to warn us.
	He wasn't just metaphorical.
	I thought he was just metaphorical.
	Turns out he was way more literal than we thought he was.
	Let's remember this lovely clip.
	You can't give a man to a jerk.
	You can't give a man to a millimeter. - Can you define a jerk?
	- All the collectivists who put that idea... - What do you put a man to a jerk? - Because they're a bitch.
	- I didn't love this expression.
	- But if you think, they're going to kill you.
	That's the point.
	You can't give a man to a millimeter because you give a millimeter and you take it to destroy it.
	Whatever is in there, they will eat it.
	Now, I just love, why do you call them shit leftists?
	One of the reasons why you shouldn't give them a millimeter or something is because they will actually eat it.
	Whatever is in there, they will eat it.
	Now.
	I just love, why do you call them shit leftists?
	It's like, well, there are reasons.
	Let's translate this post, because you'll see why Millet was right.
	I do not know, but isn't it the same Daniel Gomez, the one from Iescas?
	Look at this guy here.
	Sign up or log in to add him as a friend.
	Apparently he's really open about things.
	He's welcoming the world.
	Yeah, yeah.
	National Conservative here says, not satire, Daniel Gomez del Barrio, one of the Spanish Socialist Workers Party, which is actually ruling Spain right now.
	Sorry, Spain.
	I mean, you know, has resigned from his elected office as a councillor for IESCAS near Madrid over coprophilia.
	What does that mean?
	Guess.
	I mean, philia comes from the Greek word love.
	And friendship.
	And copra.
	And copra comes also from the Greek word for feces.
	Right.
	And manure.
	He's an actual shit leperist.
	Yeah.
	He took pictures of himself eating human feces.
	I don't know what made him think that was a good idea.
	His scrapbook?
	Right.
	Let's see now what happened.
	We have here from... Every day you get an exciting politician.
	Like this.
	Yeah, it's censored.
	It's censored.
	But, you know, if viewer discretion is advised.
	Everyone took the piss out of Jules Galloway for pretending to be a cat on Big Brother.
	That really looks mild by comparison.
	Angela Rayner eating her own feces in the corner.
	Yeah.
	So it says, gay Spanish politician with left-wing governing party resigns after photos circulate showing him eating his own feces.
	Again, viewer discretion is advised.
	There is a blur.
	So I want to see the two groups pointing fingers at each other.
	No, it's because he was a left-winger.
	No, it's because he's gay.
	You know, I want to see where the blame lies here.
	Well, let's see.
	It's an intersection.
	Of course he was gay and left-wing.
	That's the whole point.
	Well, let's see here, because it's a very rich story.
	Oh, I bet.
	You have a very scathological humor.
	No, I don't.
	Just try not to laugh.
	Some men, their humor doesn't evolve past the age of 10.
	Yeah.
	Okay, a gay Spanish municipal councillor has resigned from his position after photos were publicized of him eating his own excrement as part of a scat fetish.
	Just to be clear, right?
	Everyone's like, wow, that's disgusting.
	And I'm just sat here thinking, wow, I can't believe he resigned.
	Thank God!
	We're still in a position where this is a public embarrassment to the left.
	Yeah, that's good because sometimes it's good to see the silver lining, the light at the end of the tunnel.
	Do you think if this was John McDonnell that Jeremy Corbyn would have made him resign?
	No.
	Okay.
	Is that worse because he's older?
	I don't know, but I think you would have stood by him.
	He's a good communist.
	He's planned our economic plan.
	Diane Abbott does it too.
	What he does in his spare time is none of your business.
	Daniel Gomez del Barrio served on the council for Iescas, a small town of around 30,000 people just south of the country's capital.
	He represented PSOE, the main left-wing party in Spain, whose leader is currently the prime minister.
	In mid-February... So you imagine, you imagine the setting.
	A lovely Spanish village, 30,000 people.
	Everyone sort of knows each other.
	Did he get deselected?
	Spanish Richard Tice is like, well, look, it's not enough for me to kick him out.
	So in mid-February, in mid-February, photos and videos of Gomez were shared that he had posted on social media accounts and pornographic websites.
	In one video, the counselor who is in his late 20s is seemingly naked on the floor and eating his own feces.
	Just erase seemingly.
	Okay?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	A report from French news source FDS claimed that the politician was offering himself up for sexual use and described himself as wanting to be exposed, humiliated, and degraded.
	Mission accomplished.
	He also described his desire to- Are we taking part in his fetish then?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	Should they or shouldn't they judge?
	If they judge, they give him what he wants.
	I love the idea that this is part of his fetish, like he's being degraded on an international level.
	It's like Seven.
	No, but he's never going to get this kind of, you know... You remember?
	This is his masterpiece.
	It's like Seven.
	You remember the final sin?
	Yeah.
	Kevin Spacey.
	This is his masterpiece.
	Yeah.
	A proud career.
	Okay, he had a desire to eat CKS via her and be used as a urinal.
	Amazing.
	Anyway, just, you know, not a very bright fella.
	Here he says, for instance, he has to be treated like a coprophagous organism and requested to be the object of sexual actions.
	What if the gay community of Spain all learned like deep Latin?
	I don't know.
	What does that mean?
	It's Greek, but anyway.
	I don't know.
	Well, let's translate.
	No.
	But anyway, he is here.
	There are more.
	Oh no, I can't see your face.
	Yeah.
	So I want to say that, okay, this guy was actually having a kind of personal archive and he was slowly circulating stuff.
	So it, he must have named it 120 days of turdum or something.
	You know, what an idiot.
	Everyone knows that you don't take photos of yourself doing it.
	Right.
	So I want to say something because there are several commentators on the issue.
	So is this a different saga where it's like, if you do it in your own room, that's fine.
	I think we're going to get to that, actually.
	We're going to get to that.
	We're going to get to that.
	But before we get to that, I want to say that, OK, I'm not talking about necessities here, but the left really does have a transgression problem.
	So with a lot of leftists, they just are anti stuff.
	Well, you say it's a problem, but isn't that the entire point of being left wing at this point?
	Well, eat shit.
	Yeah.
	Transgress as much as you can.
	Like I said, I'm surprised that the boundary is still beyond eating your own feces.
	Like, because I mean, honestly, in 10 years time, that's going to happen.
	They're going to be like, well, who are you to judge?
	Oh God.
	Yeah.
	Maybe this is actually a test case.
	Yeah.
	So that's what I mean.
	At the moment, the trip wire is still sufficiently tight that he had to resign.
	Yeah.
	So just wanted to say that.
	I mean, A lot of these people, they just don't stand for anything.
	They just want to, they just want to try to address norms.
	They have fetishes.
	I mean, how can you explain quiz for Palestine?
	There's zero long-term thinking.
	I hate so much people in their immediate environment that they just form an alliance with just anyone.
	I think they just really hate Israel to be honest.
	It's stupidity.
	I mean, the Palestinian, the quiz for Palestine is never going to go to Palestine.
	I'll just give you a very random specimen here of just Now I identify as trans and genderqueer, and to me that means I like to play with gender, I like to problematize gender.
	I like to confront gender norms in how I present and how I move through the world.
	Why?
	That's all the thing.
	Why would you do that?
	I just like it.
	I like coloring in books.
	Yeah.
	That's all that is.
	One thing, this person was involved in on a department in IESCAS that had to do with children, the Department for Youth, Children and Family.
	So again, that's a massive issue with a lot of current leftists.
	They have really weird Weirdly thinking people in key positions, especially when they address children and education.
	And, you know, that's why people, things like that should go public and we should be aware of them apart from the, you know, the scatological aspect.
	A lot of it is just transgression for the sake of it.
	Yeah, because you see here the effects of a whole kind of approach, a very relaxed approach with stuff in Spain.
	You see here it's from Radio Genoa when in Spain at Carnival, half-naked children with rainbow flags.
	Yeah, I actually really don't like seeing this.
	Yeah, I mean, yeah, but things like that are literally what you are going to have if you literally have people in charge of education who are Who are feces-eating leftists who are just public about it.
	So there are some considerations about his next move.
	Yeah, people are asking now, what is he going to do afterwards?
	All of Spain is glued to their TVs being like, where's he going?
	What's the next career?
	Yeah.
	So this account here says that gay politician from Spain, the one who ate his poop, has a 10 out of 10 boozy, so we forgive him.
	So, you know, if you scroll out and see the responses, a lot of people are asking for him to show All kinds of stuff.
	So there's a market for him if he wants to capitalise on it.
	Yeah, he's probably going to make a lot of money on OnlyFans.
	Yes.
	I really hope he doesn't become a barman or a James Bond movie.
	Imagine James Bond coming to the bar and this guy asking him, how do you like your vodka martini, sir?
	Shaken or turd?
	These are terrible jokes, Stelios.
	How many of these did you write for this segment?
	OK, so Olly London here, far-left Spanish politician forced to resign after photos in Vid emerged.
	Again, you know, it's just the same stuff.
	And here we are going to talk about Peter Boghossian's response to this.
	No, that's not exactly it.
	That's the leave Britney alone meme.
	OK, so.
	I want to say that I really think that Peter Boghossian has made some claims here that I think are mistaken.
	And I want to say a bit about it because I don't want to be uncharitable, but I think that in this case... Peter is a friend of mine, so we're not going to be uncharitable.
	Yeah.
	No, I'm not going to be uncharitable, but I think that his stance here is mistaken.
	Now, let me tell you why, what he says.
	He has two tweets, we're going to talk about it and we're going to talk about, you know, people who blame liberalism.
	I'm sure we may have a small clash here or something, but let us see what happens.
	So, Greg retweets the Publica article, says, is there a flag and pronoun for this?
	And Peter Boghossian says, unpopular opinion, mind your business and leave the guy alone.
	Right.
	Then Peter Boghossian is reacting against some of the responses.
	And he says, the comments here are not merely authoritarian.
	They demonstrate pervasive normative rigidity that comes from Christian fear of judgment, the downside of Western supremacy mindset.
	Anyway, we'll talk about them extensively because I think here is where the interesting part is.
	So when it comes to the To the first tweet, unpopular opinion, mind your own business and leave the guy alone.
	I want to say that I agree with a lot of the things that Peter Boghossian says.
	Yeah, he's a very smart chap and he's correct on every issue.
	I wanted to write something clarifying this and actually defending what I think the spirit of what he says, but I don't know exactly what their spirit is, to be honest.
	Yeah.
	Because there are interpretations of this claim that make sense.
	So, for instance...
	When we were talking about mind your own business and leave the guy alone, this could either be interpreted in a legal sense, which means, well, he may be a poop-eating person and that doesn't mean you're going to put him to jail.
	Sure.
	Is anyone suggesting that?
	I don't think it's a crime.
	And the moral aspect, leave this guy alone, don't judge.
	We could revisit that point as well.
	Maybe that should be a crime.
	Well, I don't even want to be thinking about these.
	No, I don't either, but since it's come up.
	Yeah.
	So I want to say that when it comes to the mind your own business and leave the guy alone, obviously this is a question when it comes to the political sphere and the legal sphere, there's a question of, you know, where you draw the line.
	Any kind of law requires that we draw the line somewhere.
	And lots of laws are interpreted in a very abstract manner, and they have to be applied in a very concrete, flesh-and-blood context.
	And there's always this need for interpreting the law.
	That's why there's a whole idea of inquiry about the spirit of the law.
	Nobody's brought up the law, though, right?
	Because no one's actually saying, well, he's broken a law, even though, shockingly, that's not violation of law.
	The issue seems to be more making judgments.
	Well, if that's the case, then I think that's a mistake on him, because just making judgment that could be interpreted as, let's say, morally shaming in this case, it's not necessarily authoritarian.
	Authoritarianism has to do with a particular, it's a particular category that is used when we're talking about relations between governed and the governor.
	Yeah, and I think it's a... Rulers and rulers.
	Go on.
	We shouldn't have people eating shit in charge of the government.
	Oh, here comes the far right!
	Okay, so what I find interesting about this is just, I think it's a warranted situation that we should make judgments upon.
	Sometimes, is it warranted to make a judgment on such a thing?
	I think when an elected politician is filming himself and uploading it to the internet to presumably solicit other gay men, maybe we can make judgments at that point.
	There is nothing authoritarian in having a civil society that exerts considerable moral pressure.
	At least over the kind of pieces.
	If I steel man this as much as possible and say, well, it's a sexual fetish, therefore are you saying anyone who has sexual fetishes that they post publicly shouldn't be in office?
	I think that's something actually we could agree upon.
	But if you've got politicians actively posting about their sexual fetishes in public, no?
	Just don't do that.
	Just have it private.
	It's not that hard.
	I agree with you.
	Definitely.
	I agree with you.
	And, you know, the character of politicians is incredibly important.
	And there is, though, a kind of, there is a kind of attempt to sort of normalize a lot of stuff that, you know, you would consider to be deviant.
	Because a lot of the people from these communities want extra power, and they think that right now they couldn't, let's say, run for office, at least if their inclinations.
	But it's, you're not oppressed by not wearing the dog mask in public.
	Yeah.
	But this isn't an avenue of oppression.
	No, no.
	I agree with you.
	I agree with you.
	And here is where, you know, there is, I think Peter Boghossian is mistaken that there has to be a kind of considerable moral pressure because there has to be a kind of participation of the public in discussion with respect to where to draw the line.
	And just say, no, sorry, eating shit is unacceptable behavior.
	Seems a bit beyond the line.
	Especially when they are just in head of a department for education, children and the family.
	Especially.
	I imagine.
	I imagine him giving a speech on family values.
	I mean, yeah.
	But Peter's followed it up here by saying, I see the authoritarians are out on mass.
	If his constituents disapprove, they will vote him out.
	Meanwhile, I'm sure there are more substantive issues that you could figure out.
	Look, he voted for a shit-eater.
	Everybody should know.
	He should stay in government.
	Meanwhile, someone gets an infection and can't run for office.
	But I just feel there's something of a category error here, because, like, to say that if your constituents disapprove of your behavior in office implies public corruption, right, or public choices when it comes to policy.
	And so, okay, yeah, I mean, you know, I don't like the way that he set the, like, Sadiq Khan's ULEZ tax or whatever.
	See, I'm going to vote him out of the next election because that's the democratic process, because it's about the governance of the public area.
	If local man who became politician, I don't know, Sadiq Khan came out and said, by the way, I don't do any paedophilia, but I'm really, that's what turns me on.
	No, we're not waiting for the next election.
	He's got to go.
	I'm allowed to make a judgment and it's not authoritarian.
	Yeah, that's the point.
	But the point is, like, okay, this is a question of character, right?
	Yeah, like, Con hasn't committed a crime, but he is authoritarian.
	But, I mean, let's just use this particular example.
	This guy enjoys eating feces in his spare time and wants to be degraded.
	Okay, well, I don't think it's authoritarian to make a moral judgment about that, actually, and I'm going to make a moral judgment about it, because it's disgusting.
	Not only is it disgusting, it's destructive for the community.
	It actually contributes to tyranny.
	And I say this, no, no, because please listen to this argument that when you are interested in arguing for a position or a system that is a social one.
	You're interested in the level of morality that will sort of function as a mediator between, you know, rampant private interest and the needs of the community.
	If someone thinks that being degraded is a good thing.
	Then they shouldn't be a leader because they think that their community being degraded is a good thing.
	Well, even if they were to say, well, no, look, I may eat feces in my own personal time, but trust me, your food's going to be 99.99% feces free.
	I'll put in regulations to guarantee it.
	There's got to be a measure of imperfection there, but trust me, you can trust me with the good care of your feces-free food even though I regularly eat it.
	A, I don't know if I necessarily trust that guy.
	The problem is the example that it's setting, right?
	As in there's the sort of charisma of the office of an elected official, which makes them an exemplar, or that's the way we judge them, of behavior.
	And so when they do something, and this is why sex scandals were always something that would bring down politicians, this is why honey traps thing because like no that's a bad example you're setting to other people who in some way are supposed to look up to you because the office itself has a kind of authority and charisma and power over people heterosexual man cheats on wife get rid of them yeah yeah spanish leftist eats poo and hang on guys maybe we shouldn't judge
	and also and it's just so like i i I don't necessarily agree at all with Peter's take here.
	No, I really respect Peter and all the work he does outside of this.
	I just don't know why he's conflated these two things.
	No, I think that basically when we are talking about leadership, we need to be very, let's say, strict about it.
	And the morals of leaders need to be, let's say, a very important question on debate because they are the people who will represent the community.
	Now, if you have a value system... Jeremy Corbyn is just like a really, he's a really good guy.
	He's a magic grandpa, but he likes shooting puppies in his spare time.
	He buys the puppies, didn't steal them or anything.
	He just then blasts them in the head.
	But it's nothing to do with this public policy.
	You'd be like, no.
	I mean, not only this, but when you have a politician with such a weird value system, you think that being degraded is something that they desire.
	Yeah.
	Well, no, sorry, I don't want you to run my community because you will want my community to be degraded, and I don't want that.
	Was he actually in charge of, like, families and stuff?
	Well, they are saying that he was in that municipality of Hadescus in a department that had to do with education, children, and the family.
	It really does call into question his morality in other areas.
	Yes, and let me just say this, people being non-judgmental within civil society is actually contributing to the disintegration of the morals of civil society.
	There's nothing authoritarian about exercising Yeah, this is the wrong way around.
	within the confines.
	The authoritarianism bit is a category that is used whenever we're talking about the relationships between the governed and the governed.
	Yeah, this is the wrong way around.
	This is the people who are being governed making judgments about the government.
	So if we take this into a moral sense that exercising judgment is authoritarian, then we're not talking about liberty.
	We're talking about license.
	Yeah.
	But even then, I think that's not a fair characterization.
	If the people who don't have any power over the politician, other than in three years' time or whatever we're going to vote him out, I think that they can't be tyrannical to the politician by definition.
	They don't hold any power.
	So any amount of judgment they make isn't going to be authoritarian towards that guy anyway.
	He is the authority figure.
	Why are we diving in front of this guy?
	No, he's the one in power.
	It's his behavior that's the problem.
	This isn't just a private person who is just disgusting.
	And I want to say one thing, because a lot of people, I've also received comments, I've also talked to Connor a bit about this.
	Yes, I know.
	Yeah.
	It is the case that every system is prone to, let's say, corruption.
	That's just as old as history.
	Read some Polybius if you want.
	Um, any system is, but especially systems with decentralized power and a wide public sphere, they require much more participation of the public within public discussion, but also, you know, public life.
	So that means that if you want to defend a system like the one that the West is supposed to have, I think that, you know, That's another conversation.
	But if you want to defend liberalism, you have to defend a much more active and judgmental public.
	Not the idea that, you know, just anything goes, don't judge.
	No, you need to judge more.
	And as a friend of mine tells me, you know what they say, we are what we eat.
	Your jokes on this segment have been atrocious.
	Perfect dad joke segment.
	Go to video comments.
	So the cherry blossoms are now falling.
	It's absolutely beautiful and it's this time of year that really makes you appreciate being in Japan.
	Absolutely love it.
	It's very pretty.
	It's fun to go back to books written on matters scientific that are still not fully resolved today.
	It's a window on the way we used to think and how the ideas we have now were formulated from what came before.
	John Gribbon's In Search of the Edge of Time is an accessible read that sets out to explain the fundamentals of gravity and the conceptual leaps from the Newtonian world to the Einsteinian vision, building to a model of how time interacts with space.
	However, the real leap for me was in this video from YouTuber Astrum that instantly explained to me the dilation of objects as they approach the speed of light.
	Go on then, physicist, explain it.
	No.
	Oh, okay.
	It's boring and people won't get it, so... I don't get it.
	Look up Lorenz equations if you ever want to actually do it.
	It's pretty funny.
	There's this one experiment... Alright, I'm going to do it now.
	There's one thing you have to do in university where, okay, I've got a shed and the shed is 5 meters long.
	Okay, and I've got a ladder and it's 10 meters long.
	So the ladder won't fit in the shed, only half of it will.
	So what I've got to do is I've got to make the ladder move at what percentage of speed of light until it's 5 meters long?
	Really?
	So things get smaller as they get faster?
	From the perspective of the ladder, it sees the shed getting bigger, but from the perspective of the shed, the ladder gets smaller.
	Right.
	So if we make the ladder go, like, 96% or whatever, you can fit the ladder in.
	Hardly a storage solution, though, is it?
	Well, one of these days, we'll figure it out.
	I mean, you know, okay, I had to put it at whatever millions of miles an hour to get it into the shed.
	Yeah.
	But then I want to leave it in the shed.
	Surely it'll get bigger again.
	Well, as long as it stays at that speed, it's fine.
	Well, it's not good, because I'm going to leave it in the shed.
	Like time is cyclical.
	Yeah.
	Like the Terminator.
	But if I remember correctly, so it makes you, if you go to the speed of light, you get shorter.
	I think you get heavier.
	And also, um, time travel just happens.
	Everything around you, everything else goes fast and you stay.
	Time travel every day.
	I'm not worried about that.
	Like actual time travel, where you're actually going into the future.
	Yeah.
	Every day I go into the future.
	But imagine if you could go 20 years into the future.
	I will in 20 years time.
	Oh, for God's sakes.
	Anyway, it's, yeah, it's pretty useless unless you're doing quantum stuff.
	Yeah.
	Anyways, to the next one.
	Here's another wildlife video for you guys today.
	That's a turtle.
	I'm not sure what kind of a turtle.
	I did take a class on herpetology in college, but unfortunately I don't remember a whole lot, so I definitely need to revise on that.
	Yeah, he's a really cute little guy.
	I'm pretty sure that's a terrapin.
	It's a wholesome video.
	It is a very wholesome video.
	I think it's the stripe on the thing.
	I don't think it's actually a turtle, but I'm no expert.
	So feel free to correct me in the comments.
	All right, let's go to the next one.
	You know, I've walked many circles.
	I got friends who are tent-dwelling hippies that live in the forest.
	And I've gone as far up the social ladder as dating into an exiled family of Iranian nobility thrown out by Khomeini.
	And word of advice, don't.
	And what I've noticed is the blue-collar guys, the electrician, the guy at the body shop, they're all very literate.
	You can have excellent conversations with them about morality or just governance.
	Hmm.
	Alrighty.
	Nice car.
	Do we have more?
	Yeah, that was a nice car.
	But, um, I don't know.
	I mean, the sort of, the upper class people I've met have been able to hold a conversation on these things.
	Really, it's just a third-generation wealth thing.
	It's been three generations since the Industrial Revolution and its new aristocracy, and we're just the schmuck stuck holding a bag.
	Neat.
	Hmm.
	Alrighty.
	Nice car.
	Do we have more?
	Yeah, there was a nice car.
	But, um, I don't know.
	I mean, the sort of, the upper-class people I've met have been able to hold a conversation on these things.
	Maybe it's an American thing.
	To explain what happened yesterday in the Bay Area, protesters were blocking traffic going into San Francisco, and then the police blocked traffic going north to get rid of them.
	So it was completely blocked off.
	And then in Oakland, there was a group that was blocking the Port of Oakland entrance, and there was also a group here that was also blocking traffic going northbound.
	And then there was another group down here that was blocking traffic going southbound.
	And then later in the evening, there was a group at the Tesla factory right here that was blocking it.
	I will talk about Auckland in the next few days.
	Oh, okay.
	I don't actually know what happened there.
	It's wild.
	Oh, is it?
	Okay.
	Can't believe I missed it.
	Thanks, California refugee.
	Yeah, that's good.
	Good little map.
	Bleach Demon says, Yeah, I just can't get over just how obviously terrified these people are.
	inviting and protecting a certain culture who can act negatively without consequence, it ruins the secular government's ability to rule, even to the point where the facade of the separation of church and state seems like a suppression of Christianity rather than stopping the establishment of an official state religion.
	Yeah, I just can't get over just how obviously terrified these people are.
	It's like, why do we bring in loads of people you're scared of?
	Is that wise?
	Why was that done?
	GDP.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Are they contributing?
	The Shadowband says, how is stabbing a Christian while shouting Allah Akbar not a hate crime?
	Imagine a Christian stabbing an imam shouting Deus Vult.
	That's a good point, actually.
	Why isn't that counted as a hate crime?
	It's the double standard.
	Yeah, it is.
	Yeah, that's a fair point.
	David says, many of the suburbs surrounding Wakely, where the stabbing occurred, have large Lebanese Muslim populations.
	While working as a security guard in that area of Sydney, we were told that if we had to take the train home late night after work, we should wear plane jackets over our uniforms so we wouldn't be attacked by the adherents of the religion of peace.
	Suddenly you can see why the Assyrian Christians are a bit more on edge in patrolling of the borders.
	Yes, I suppose the main problem of me characterising the world doesn't work.
	No, it does.
	It's just this is what it's meant to do.
	conflict, hatred, and racism, so we fight amongst ourselves instead of realizing who is actually sitting carving out our countries.
	There's evidence by Harry's recent segments where he showed council gnomes earning hundreds of thousands for a month's work.
	Yes, I suppose that is true.
	Yes, I suppose the main problem of me characterizing, well, it doesn't work.
	No, it does.
	It's just this is what it's meant to do.
	It's not really a desirable outcome, is it?
	Kevin says, when are the MSM and judiciary going to roll out the mental illness trope about the Sabbath?
	To be honest, I think they'd be right to do so.
	If you believe in Islam and Islamist barbarism and misogyny, you have to be mentally deficient.
	That is a point.
	I don't want to get the same treatment, so I'm not going to make any further comments on it.
	Malicious Compliance says, question, what do you think of the idea of suing the government for causing material damages to everyone in the country from inflation due to the printing of money?
	Any thoughts?
	I was thinking about Jews.
	No, for a good reason.
	I was thinking about what religion I'd like to be, given all the religious conflict.
	And I thought, Jewish, have you seen the thing about the tent poles?
	No.
	So apparently in an area of New York, because on the Sabbath, you're not meant to leave the house.
	Obviously, it's like you're in the big city.
	You've got to leave, right?
	Right.
	So what they do is they have these ropes going all around this huge area of New York.
	And legally speaking, according to the chief rabbi, that means that that area is indoors, even though you're obviously not.
	So every single Saturday or whatever, they go down and check the tent poles to make sure none of them are damaged.
	That means all the Jews can enjoy and go about their business.
	I've seen videos of people, Jewish people doing this as if you can trick God.
	Yeah.
	I don't understand the philosophy behind this.
	I was thinking about that and it made sense in the sense of that's mad.
	You can't trick God.
	But if you genuinely believed in that religion, that seems like the best one to go for.
	Sure.
	But like, do they think God's just sat there going, well, I mean, I did, I did set the rule that They've got me.
	They've got me again.
	I saw one about, apparently they can't turn on lights during the Sabbath or something.
	You can't use fire, so electricity is fire, so... No, it's not.
	But anyway, never mind.
	Okay, I'm not the physicist.
	But the point is, it was an advert for something where they, like, no, no, no, it's just on all the time, so you just lift it up, and it was on from yesterday, so you can close the lamp down to cover the light when you want to go to sleep.
	It's like, God's just like, yeah, okay.
	Yeah, fair enough.
	I'm gonna give it to you.
	You seen Jewish elevators?
	No.
	They're amazing.
	So they're constantly going.
	You just jump on and then get off.
	How many deaths a year does that cause?
	Ah, none.
	They're actually pretty good.
	But if you get your pram trapped, I mean your kid is getting crushed.
	Yeah.
	We have some Super Chats that I missed.
	The Shadow Band for $10 says, I'm glad Stelos is still part of the Lotus East team.
	I missed my symposium fix yesterday, but thank you for the body of philosophical work you did put out.
	Thank you.
	Well, I'm sure that more good stuff is coming, isn't it?
	Better be.
	Neo Unrealist says, the Assyrian Christians are looking back in anger.
	Have they not been assimilated into our superior Western apathy to heinous atrocities?
	No, no.
	Weirdly, people from the Middle East are sensitive about those things.
	I mean, they must look at us like we're mad.
	It's like, okay, Manchester Arena bomber blows up.
	They're like, okay, so what are you gonna do about it?
	I mean, we're going to forgive him.
	We're going to make sure that the Muslim community is safe.
	My Serbian friends think that you're just stupid, like the whole country should be killed because it's worthless.
	As in like, well, if the British aren't going to fight back after that, then...
	Who cares about them?
	Yeah, Nero says, the Assyrian Christians surviving intact as a community despite living surrounded by Muslims in all directions for over a thousand years speaks to having to be hard as nails.
	Yeah, the Assyrians have pretty much always been hard as nails, to be honest.
	But they have been persecuted for the last 1,400 years by the Muslims.
	So, but apparently there are some of the three to five million of them.
	So it's not necessarily a tiny group.
	Ophuk says, after 1400 years of jihad, that if we give them passports, they'll turn into good little westerners.
	Seems like an obviously stupid idea in retrospect.
	Well, I mean, you just need to think about it.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	If you put it like that in advance, it would seem stupid.
	But just think of the magic soil, right?
	Just think of the magic soil.
	The magic soil that they'll arrive in the West and be like, yeah, you know what?
	I may well think that Mohammed was a prophet of God, but have we tried this liberalism stuff?
	You know, John Locke was just some dude.
	Well, John Stuart Mill, he was just some dude.
	Give him a listen.
	Not Just A String says, shows pretty well how bad DEI is, given how quickly it's unraveling, even transgender ideology has held on longer.
	But nobody understands how big and complicated the economy is.
	Meritocracy is necessity.
	I always wonder just how, like, there must be a study that can be done that calculates the amount of money we spend in DAI and the amount that that would have, if spent productively, boosted the economy by.
	That must be doable, right?
	It's like, why isn't that done?
	Well, actually, we know what hasn't been done.
	Sophie says, reminds me of when there was a time in China where Chinese companies would hire a white guy.
	Not to do anything, just to be a white guy in the building.
	Visitors would see on a visit.
	It was all about the prestige of having the company look good, so a white guy would work there.
	This actually happened.
	Yeah, you don't know about that.
	No.
	They're called white guy jobs.
	Oh.
	So when they're selling, cause you know in China.
	Aren't they working like a chump when I could have just been a white guy in China?
	So in China, obviously the, it's dying now cause it's hitting its ass, but they used to invest all their money in property, which is why they build so much property that nobody lives in.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Just to hold value because the whole system is buried.
	So when they were building a new series of apartment blocks and then they needed the investors to be impressed and be like, no, no, no, this isn't going to become a ghost city.
	We've got Greg!
	Yeah, they hired Greg and they put Greg in a Grenadier outfit, you know, the beefeater.
	Yeah.
	And had Greg walk around as if British people actually walk around like that.
	He's looking at buying property.
	You know, he's serious because he's got one of them British outfits.
	You can tell because he's a beefeater.
	Yes.
	You know, he's rich because he looks like The soldiers.
	He looks like he guards the Queen, I mean.
	Yeah, seriously.
	That's hilarious.
	There's a good video, I think, for the Wall Street Journal on it, where they hired Greg, and then Bonsoir got paid to walk around like a mime.
	Because, look, French guy.
	How are we not making this money?
	Well, I don't know why we're not doing it with our own foreigners.
	You know, just, hey, Chinese guy, put on this lampshade and help us sell the apartments.
	John's winking at me.
	Do you want to do some moonlighting, my friend?
	I mean, just saying it's easy money.
	Surely.
	Uh, Freddie sends $20 and says, love Peter, but notice monetized accounts make controversial comments at times.
	I've tried to quit feeding the fire.
	Of course I did chime in, but Posey Park was the best response as usual.
	I didn't actually see Posey's response, but I don't think Peter would be farming for clicks.
	Right?
	No, I don't think either, but I don't think he's that kind of guy.
	So I may just DM and be like, Pete, what's going on?
	Did you say Freddie sent that super chat?
	Yes.
	Freddie65.
	Why?
	Don't ask.
	Don't tell him.
	Okay, Nero Enlist again says, people in lunatic asylums eat their own shit.
	I don't think it's overly judgmental to have a lower opinion of a man who chooses to eat shit as recreation.
	I actually think it's obligatory and you know, like, People tend to have a lower opinion of you if you don't judge those people for doing that, because it's really disgusting and weird.
	Omar says, shame is the immune system of a healthy society.
	Peter is being literal cultural aid.
	We are literally judging a public figure on the content of his character.
	What else are we supposed to judge him with?
	Well, I mean, he's Spanish, so that's always a black mark.
	Just joking, Spaniards.
	Hope not hate.
	I don't hate every person in Spain that was just a joke.
	Um, but... Including the British who are there in Spain.
	Well, they're the okay ones.
	Nah, they're not.
	If they're not in Gibraltar, I'm no.
	Oh, right, right, right.
	Oh, right, right.
	You mean the sort of expats.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, no, they're, they're... Tagaluf, Tenerife.
	Yeah.
	To be honest with you, I love, I love it when the left are like, oh, we left the EU.
	So what?
	So should the Spaniards just kick out all the Brits?
	I was like, yeah.
	Go for it.
	Yeah.
	I don't care.
	I'm going to teach them.
	You wouldn't have any money.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But also, you know, um, Anne says, thanks for the white pills, Stelios.
	I think you had to dig deep in this one to find that, but I'm sure the media have tried to flush this story.
	God, that's just terrible.
	We also had another donation by Freddy65.
	Thank you.
	Says, it's an old, but people saying, do your business referring to Bowels Movement.
	I completely forget that.
	Is Peter trolling us?
	No, because he followed up with further on this, but John says... People as well, to be like, you know, I stand with the shit eater.
	Peter's a really normal, sensible guy.
	So I don't know what is inspiring him to do this.
	Behind closed doors, though, if you check his Grindr account.
	I doubt it.
	That's what I mean.
	Like, unless... Like, I really doubt it.
	He's a married... Well, he's divorced now, but he was, you know, a married father.
	He's not thinking that.
	That's why I'm so confused.
	Like, it makes no sense.
	I also doubt it.
	It's just... I think it's more of a philosophical approach.
	Maybe, but I can't... This is what philosophy does to a mother, I feel like.
	John says, well it's at least nice to see Stelios having fun.
	Thank you.
	Charlie says, this Spanish politician is the embodiment of you are what you eat.
	Anonimi says, so is it possible that guy has a parasite that alters his behaviour to eat the poo-poo, to spread the parasite, toxoplasmosis from cat feces, alters the behaviour of human women, for example.
	Yeah, I know, right?
	I mean, that can't be the case.
	I mean, you remember Dankula was the one who told us that theory, right?
	Yeah.
	Well, it obviously falls down with, well, how... If you're not gay, why are you having gay sex to get the gay parasite?
	That doesn't... Yeah, how did you get it?
	Did you get it from the cows?
	I mean, I don't know anything.
	This is not scientifically informed, just to let people know.
	I have no idea how this all works.
	I don't care how the gay parasite got me, I just woke up gay.
	Justin says, that scatter graph that you're talking about did show a larger proportion of results that were in the lower profitability section, but the largest changes were in the higher profitability.
	So it's likely the outcome of diversity hiring is a small decrease in profitability, though it could work out.
	Well, the line going across was like basically on zero.
	It was like basically nothing's changed.
	Why do we do this all again?
	Well, at least we're moral.
	Lord Nerevar says, It's fascinating how an industry like BLM can arise in our current system.
	Ignoring how obviously and objectively evil they are for a moment, the societal, governmental and economic system we have grown in and evolved in such a way that a parasite like BLM actually has the room in the market to grow and leech off other, more productive businesses.
	An organization whose sole purpose is to steal, all technically within the law, like the tapeworm.
	Yeah, no one's ever said that.
	Someone's tapeworm is stealing my food.
	Well, the thing is, yeah, hey, Black Lives Matter didn't actually steal anything.
	I don't even know if they actually grifted because their entire thing was, hey, you need to give black people money.
	And the people running these corporations were like, yeah, you're right.
	I do have way too much money in my pockets and I need to give black people things.
	So here you go.
	And they were like, thanks.
	I'm going to go buy a mansion.
	Everyone's like, yeah, that's what we thought you were going to do.
	And so I'm not even sure it's a grift.
	Hypnosis, almost.
	Yeah, it's more like a sort of magic spell.
	It's like, I'm black, give me money.
	And they're like, yeah, good point, you are.
	I am American, though.
	Yeah, well, what just happened here?
	As someone who's not American, I'm just like, okay, that's weird.
	But the Australians have got the same sort of thing with the Aborigines.
	It's like, you know, because they're Aborigines, you have to do stuff.
	I was like, do I?
	I don't know.
	I didn't feel that way about anyone.
	It's like the Scots are like, I'm Scottish, get bent.
	Let me give you any money.
	What are you doing in London anyway?
	Like, you know, we don't have that relationship with the other people of our country.
	So it's just like, it's weird seeing you guys have that relationship with yours.
	and all to make of it.
	George says, if the shiteater is not doing anything wrong, what's the issue of it being public and subject to scrutiny?
	Peter Boghossian's takes always seem to defend degeneracy like the Canadian teach with fake tits.
	I say he's possessed by a Sineshi demon.
	Well, I haven't seen that.
	But again, it was just very strange.
	Northblood says, auction house selling black trading cards?
	I've got three fine looking diversity, all strong and hardworking.
	I hear five dollars for the opening bet.
	So up your alley there Callum.
	You gamble on slaves?
	Is that a thing?
	No, you could... It's not gambling, it's bidding.
	No, but you know I have horse races now.
	If we were back in the good old slave days... No, you wouldn't gamble on them.
	I'd gamble on them.
	No, well... Who's going to pick the most cod then?
	It's just... No, that's not how that works.
	Well, it's boring in the South.
	They've got to find something to do.
	I'm sure they had lots of things to do.
	But, no, no, they were bidding.
	Yeah.
	Can I end by saying thank you to a commenter?
	Henry Asselin says, Stelios, good Scarface outfit.
	Thank you very much.
	Alrighty.
	There's also a $100 super chat from Blood for Blood God just saying happy birthday to me.
	Is there?
	Thanks.
	Is it your birthday?
	Yes.
	Oh, happy birthday.
	I didn't know.
	Why didn't you say something?
	Happy birthday.
	Well on that note, it's time to end the show!
	We actually have another super chat from Freddie.
	Oh no, you got it, it's alright.
