future.
Society, as we know it, is at the nadir, or nadir, depending upon where you're from, of development.
Society, us, at every level, has never...
We have never seen or enjoyed this form of putrescence and fetid decomposition.
Morally, intellectually, socially, politically, artistically, humanistically, we have never seen anything like this.
Unless you think I'm just exaggerating or I'm just some grouch, you're missing the point altogether.
We've never seen anything like this.
There are groups of people called Democrats who don't have a political opinion.
What they are is they're allergic to Trump.
It's just like I've got friends of mine whose sole existence, whose sole form of accomplishment is to tell you everything they're allergic to.
I have one who even carries a card in her purse that she hands to a waiter that lists proudly, I'm allergic to all these.
We live in a society right now that loves to hate.
We are defined by whom we hate.
And it's not just the left.
The left right now, of course, hates Trump.
Oh, and Alex Jones.
Alex Jones is the representative of all that is wrong with humanity.
But the right does it too.
They'll talk about Joy Behar and AOC.
People come alive today when they hate.
People come alive when they hate.
And the bottom line is simply this.
Society as we know it, As we know it.
And this iteration, this functioning version of humanity today is absolutely bare bones, devoid, naked, vapid, vacant, vacuous, you name it.
I mean, it is no matter where I look, I see it.
And you can't advance once you Appreciate that fact.
But let me just remind you of this.
I'm going to develop this thought much, much greater in detail.
But first, a word from our sponsor.
History is being made.
Thanks to a new study, there is strong evidence to suggest collagen is one of the best supplements in the world to help reduce the appearance of skin aging.
Researchers found the supplement helped improve skin elasticity and hydration of over 1,100 people.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded collagen was effective for reducing signs of skin aging like wrinkles.
That's why I've been using the best collagen powder on the market.
Other products just do not contain the same level of the five critically important types of collagen for bright, even, and younger looking skin like this one does.
It combines the right types and the right amount of collagen your skin needs to help rejuvenate its elasticity.
After using it myself, I'm now a lifetime customer.
The benefits were clear as day.

I know what you're thinking.
You're thinking this guy's being pessimistic again.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Let me ask you something.
Is a pathologist pessimistic?
Is a neurological oncologist pessimistic?
Is somebody who tries to prevent disease, cure disease, if somebody who is trying to act as a cultural palliative, are they bereft of what?
Support?
I don't think so.
I don't think so.
You know, we can talk all day long.
I love noises like that.
In heaven there will be noises like that.
Every time an angel gets a wing.
We can talk about a lot of stuff.
But the thing that we will never be able to talk about is that which we don't appreciate.
And Americans today, Americans today, right now, We appreciate absolutely nothing.
And I could spend a long time doing this, but let me just talk in this particular case about politics, okay?
Let me explain to you.
We have to, if you're even interested in delving into, in wading into that which we call politics, there are two basic distinctions and versions of this, right?
Democrat, Republican, Liberal, Conservative.
I guess.
And that's being so funny.
You know, that's like saying there's Northern Italian and Southern Italian food.
No, it's a little more complicated than that.
There's Mississippi jazz, excuse me, blues, you know, Delta, and Chicago.
No.
But, because you don't have a lot of time, and most people are not going to care one way or the other about the subtle distinctions between the two, let's just say, Democrats, Republicans, liberals.
So let's start off with this beautiful thing.
There are no Democrats.
Find a Democrat you know today and ask that Democrat what he or she believes as to anything.
Go ahead.
Ask him or her.
What do you believe?
What?
Are you an FDR New Dealer?
No.
Are you a JFK?
No.
Are you a George McGovern?
No.
Are you a Gene McCarty?
No.
Are you an anti-war?
No.
What are you?
And they may, they may, they may, and if they do do this, they'll tell you exactly who they are.
They may throw something about climate change.
That's the tip-off.
Or maybe something about, I don't know, transgenderism.
But most of them.
Most, most, I promise you, are defined by their hatred for Donald Trump.
Donald Trump created them.
They're like my friend who says, I'm allergic to peanut allergies.
She loves telling you this.
And the more exotic, Allergy, the better.
Never see anything like it.
By the way, I never knew any kids growing up when I grew up with a peanut allergy.
Never knew kids who were autistic.
Never knew kids who had anxiety.
Never knew kids who came into suicide.
Never knew any of this.
Gee, I wonder what's different between when I grew up and what's happening now.
We'll talk about that later.
But these are the islands of the negatives.
We don't know.
And now I'll throw in Alex Jones.
Alex Jones makes them feel It's like a teething, right?
Have you ever seen sometimes when a poor kid's teething and just that teeth are coming through and they just...
And you give them something and they attack your finger or a towel or a doll or...
And the poor, you know, breastfeeding mother, that's kind of what they're like.
They're being gnawed at by this thing, this kid.
That's it.
That's the beginning and the end.
That's the extent of their political ideology.
This hatred.
This gnawing, antagonizing, painful expression of utter and terrible pain.
Now, it goes no further.
That's all they can tell you.
What do you like, Joe Biden?
Are you a Kamala Harris fan?
And he might speak about, well, you know the glass ceiling color with a Kareem Jean-Pierre.
No, they have no...
Believe me when I'm telling you this.
They can't point to it.
Do you like the energy policy?
Do you like this?
What has he done?
Do you particularly care for the Ukrainian policy?
Yes.
Can you explain what the Ukrainian policy is?
Can you tell me where the Donbass is?
Do you know where Donetsk and Lugansk?
I don't know where that is.
By the way, your Ukrainian flag is upside down.
Just want to let you know.
They don't know.
Now, the Republicans, on the other side, a little bit better.
They still have their subjects of hate.
Everybody's always had hate.
Years ago it was Jane Fund and Susan Sarandon.
Now it's Joy Behar and AOC and whatever.
There's always this.
They love to point to somebody because that's the gnawing, that's the teething pain, their intellectual teething pain.
They don't know what's...
It's not about intellectual, about ideology.
They just hate people.
If you took everything that Joy Behar said and you put it into the mouth of a human being, it wouldn't do anything.
But it's the way they gnaw at you and the way their voice and their face and their look.
Alex Jones with this sweatiness and this evangelical, you know, Elmer Gantry, Trump with his hair and his this.
That's it.
It's not the message.
Nobody listens at all to the message.
The message means nothing.
This is where we are today.
Why?
Because of this.
That's right, my phone.
We're here because of social media, this absolute intellectual obsolescence.
We don't think today.
Let me give you an example of something.
I mentioned this before.
Years ago, I used to actually look forward to Wednesday New York Times, Ruth Reichel, Restaurant Reviews.
It's beautiful.
The words, the prose, the way she would describe sumptuousness, the way she would describe a particular amuse-bouche, the salinity of this ad mixed with this unctuous...
Herbaceous, savory tincture of florid.
I mean, just the descriptions were beautiful.
Velveteen, whatever.
Today, by virtue of this iteration of humanity that we live in today, we have the food blog.
And we have Mark Wiens.
This hyper-exuberant, overdone reaction to a tomahawk chop or a panini.
You have people who are excited.
I'm looking so excited.
We're going to have, I think they call it, I don't know, a torta.
Why?
Because of this.
Because this replaced everything.
Not just food explications and descriptions, but politics.
You see, one of the reasons why kids can't read today is because they can't track words.
Because everything is thrown at them.
We don't appreciate the subtleties, the nuance, the particular interstitial...
Interstitial connectivity of ideas and thoughts regarding ciphology and elections.
Because we're like a food blog.
We just want somebody throwing something at us.
We went over the top loud with buzzers and graphics and thumbnails and underlines and underscores and that's who we are at every single level.
But the thing that you must remember going back and circling back to the notion And they're subject to politics.
The most important thing for people to do, if you really want to get their attention, is give them something to hate.
They love hate.
Now, if you like this, you know what to do.
You know the drill.
Like the video, subscribe to the channel, blah, blah, blah.
