| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Hey, everybody. It's Stefan Molyneux from Freedom Aid.
I hope you're doing very well.
I hope that you are having a wonderful evening this evening.
And I hope that you're going to enjoy as we take a slight break from the endless issues to do with coronavirus and go to another topic that I find actually quite fascinating.
And I wanted to get your guys' thoughts on it.
And hear what you think.
And all that kind of good stuff.
And yes, of course, we are trying new technology at the moment.
And of course, what that means is I wanted to know what you all had to think about it.
Yo, yo! Hey, everybody!
Good evening and welcome to Free Domain Radio.
It is time to upset and offend even more people with ye olde basic truth.
And, um...
Let's see what you all have to say.
How do you find you on Discord? Trying to get into it.
So on Discord, you can find me.
The best way to go is to go to Subscribestar.com and sign up for a subscription.
A couple of bucks a month or more.
More is always helpful.
And you will get a Discord link on Subscribestar.
That's where I'm kind of hanging out and having chats with people and all of that.
So, yeah, it's great to chat with you all this evening.
Nice to see that the crowd is around and that the widget is not doing anything to do with...
It's supposed to be showing me...
On the left-hand side here, it's supposed to be showing me the chat.
But, well, it's really not.
So let's not show it then, shall we?
And let's see here.
Yeah, well, let's not worry about that right now.
That thing to the left.
Do we think I'm making it too much of coronavirus?
No, I think it is important.
And here's the thing, too. Is the audio okay, by the way?
Is the volume is good? We're going to talk about this tomorrow.
I want to sort of get back up to speed on coronavirus tomorrow.
No, I don't think you're making too much of a deal of it.
I hope that we make enough of a big deal out of coronavirus that it turns out to not be a big deal.
I hope in my heart of hearts and all through my big ostrich egg forehead, I hope...
Very much. That we make a huge deal of it, or I make a huge deal of it, and everyone says when the smoke is all cleared, which it never will fully clear because coronavirus is with us for the duration, but I hope that people say, oh, that crazy Molyneux guy got all worked up over nothing, didn't turn out to be that big a deal.
That's what I hope. I hope that I am proven to be ridiculous and paranoid, because then I will know I will have done my job.
Because my job is to wake people up to the potential dangers of this kind of pandemic.
And it's a pandemic now.
Let's at least be clear about that.
It's a complete and total pandemic now.
It was declared that way by the World Health Organization.
And I had a show, I think it was in late...
Late January, early February, referring it to this way.
So let's just say quite a while ago.
And that's just...
Let's turn this off.
It's not working. YouTube chat viewer.
Blech! All right.
So listen, let's...
We'll talk coronavirus tomorrow, and that's all going to go hunky-dory.
But let's talk Weinstein.
Let's talk Weinstein, because, man, this story has been...
Rolling round and round in my brain, lo these many months, and I've read a fair amount about it.
I read Ronan Farrow's book, and I've been following the media, and all kinds of stuff has been going on that I find to be completely and totally fascinating, and I just...
Gotta tell you, there's so much to learn from Harvey Weinstein and all of this stuff that's going on.
And I just wanted to get my thoughts out here.
And... Oh, yeah, yeah. Sorry, is there someone in the chat?
So there's a reason why my video, "Hong Kong Fight for Freedom," which you could get at fdurl.com/hongkong or just go to freedomain.com, click on Documentaries.
There is a reason why now, in hindsight, of course, why my documentary talking about the massive existential danger of China was and is being so viciously suppressed.
It's all becoming clear to me now, and that's just a basic fact.
Please hurdle over, get over the suppression of the video, and make sure that you watch...
Hong Kong, Fight for Freedom.
Oh, by the way, I just talked to John Detroit.
We are resuming work on my documentary series on California, Sunset and the Golden State, which you can also get at freedomain.com forward slash...
I haven't been drinking.
Or if I have, I've been drinking from this fine gab.com mug.
But... Sunset in the Golden State.
We are going to continue that series.
It got a little bit interrupted.
Oh, I don't know.
How do I put this delicately?
Well, I got financially reamed last year.
My income dropped about 98% or so.
You know, just a smidge. Something that you'd notice on a bar graph or two.
My income dropped about 98%.
And I had some...
I had some rejigging to do.
I had some reorientation to do.
I had some building the bricks from the basement, shattered basement of my finances back.
So, yeah, that's why, you know, I've been occasionally pointing out that if you could help me out at freedomain.com forward slash donate, freedomain.com forward slash donate, it sure does help a little rebuild the old shattered finances.
So, who pays you more, Trump or Putin?
It's funny, you know, I know these rumors are out there and it's kind of funny.
Um... Who funds me?
You know who funds me?
You! You, right there!
You fund me! You, looking at the blurry forefingers because I have a fixed...
I can't go back and forth too much SCTV 3D cam style because I have a fixed lens.
It's not auto-focus, so I can't move around too much.
But yeah, it's you guys who fund me.
And... It's funny, too, this other thing, too, how people say, oh, you're begging for money and so on.
And it's like, you know, if you characterize people as asking others to exchange value for value, I know how valuable this show is to everyone.
I get the emails of people who say I got out of an abusive relationship.
I got into a relationship with a great woman.
I'm peacefully parenting my children.
I stopped spanking my children.
I'm safe from coronavirus because you were talking about it months ago and I made better decisions.
You know, I bought stuff before it was all gone or the price went up.
I know! I know!
How incredibly valuable this show is and how there's nothing else like there in the world, not only horizontally, like in terms of what's out there right now, but there never will be a show like this ever again because this broke the mold of all of the taboo topics and wild things that can be talked about with reason and evidence.
And walking that fine line and stretching the Overton window until it basically gives birth to sextuplets, that's what we're all about as a community.
So I just wanted to point out Please don't characterize someone like me as begging when I'm saying, listen, I'm providing a huge amount of value.
It's not a huge ask to say, support me for a couple of bucks a month.
I mean, it is a massive value.
Everybody knows that. And there's a reason why a show this controversial and this challenging has...
We're around 700 million views and downloads.
Like, we're close to three quarters of a billion viewers.
Points of light in the philosophy universe that otherwise would never have rained down from the skies of rational thought to light up a benighted world.
So, yeah, you tell me other people who are out there talking about the kind of dangerous topics I'm talking about, taking facefuls of tear gas to cover Hong Kong protests and staring down feral Antifa mobs and leftist mobs in New Zealand and in Australia.
And, you know, come on, come on.
This is a great, great conversation.
You guys are part of it.
And if I'm asking to support it, yeah, I'm a cap.
I'm a free market guy.
I believe that free riders is not a morally defensible position if you're getting value out of it.
Help me out. Really appreciate it.
But that's not begging.
It's begging if I'm not providing any value.
It's begging if I'm on a street corner.
I'm not providing any value.
If I am providing massive value and asking you to recognize that, that's not begging.
And if you call it begging, you're not limiting me.
I'm still going to go out here and ask for what I think is just and fair in the world.
You're just limiting yourself to not asking for what you deserve in life.
You're not stopping me.
You understand? I'm still going. You're just stopping yourself.
And that's the real tragedy of this.
All right. Taken facefuls, Bollywood.
Are we still racist and bigots for wanting border control?
No. No.
No. Isn't it nice to watch Disney having to shut down California?
I mean, isn't that? Disney, who kicked American workers out on their ass to replace them with a bunch of foreigners, isn't that?
I mean, come on. There's things that you really have to take pleasure in in life, and watching Disney take it to the nads financially is one of those deep pleasures that gets you out of bed in the morning with a song in your heart and a spring in your step.
All right, you fascinating, fascinating people.
So, let's see here.
Oh, you asking for help is no different than those people putting Please Disable ad blocker on their websites.
So, you go to people's websites.
They have to pay for their servers.
They have to pay for their bandwidth.
Listen, the bandwidth I have to pay for...
It's staggering. I mean, you guys see me on YouTube, which is great.
You see me on other social media platforms.
It's great. But I have to pay for the podcast downloads, which equal or exceed the videos.
And it's blinding.
And so, yeah, so it's funny.
Like, you go to people's websites.
They've taken the time to get the website, to get the code to the PHP or whatever JavaScript that they're using to get the website up and running.
And they've taken the time to educate themselves, to write articles and so on.
Like... People can hack me when they start giving out their work for free and never expecting anything in return.
It's just kind of funny. I mean, come on.
Have some empathy for people.
If you're going to go to their websites, assuming it's not a hate watch, you know, like you're going to the New York Times or something like that, you know, leave your ad blockers off.
You know, give people a couple of bucks.
Yeah, speaking of the New York Times, Mike Huckabee today.
We're saying that if toilet paper continues to be so hard to get, he's going to actually have to open up a subscription to the New York Times, to which I replied, oh, Mike, don't subject your ass to that.
That's unfair.
That's really bad. All right, so let's get on.
And, you know, enough friendly chat.
Let's get to the offence-o-meter and have it up.
Okay. I'll put the links to this below.
So this is just from 2017.
So for those of you who don't know, Harvey Weinstein was, what is now a disgrace, was a Hollywood mogul of the first order.
Like you can see, I think it's certainly Michelle Obama praising him to the skies.
He was just king of Hollywood and produced some pretty wild and amazing films, some pretty horrifying and terrifying films.
He had a close relationship with You know, archdemon Tarantino, and he produced Shakespeare in Love and a bunch of other stuff.
And Shakespeare in Love is actually kind of a cute movie, despite the fact that it seems to have driven Gwyneth Paltrow around the bend, but she was probably heading that way anyway.
But so he's this Hollywood mogul and is, you know, a swarthy, half-bearded man-pig of the First Order.
And, you know, there's a list here.
This is from a People magazine.
No, sorry, USA Today, Under People.
And this is from 2017.
There's a picture of this guy who looks like someone sprayed pubic hair on a pink model of Shrek.
And there's all these women below, right, all of his accusers.
And, you know, they're all beautiful women.
Some of them I recognize.
Some of them I don't.
And what is that?
So who are these people?
I don't know. Are they here?
Gwyneth Paltrow I recognize.
Angelina Jolie I recognize.
Let's see here.
Gee, I guess I'm not up on my pop culture these days.
I don't know.
The Judd. Ashley Judd?
One of the Judd sisters is up there too.
Anyway. So, this is as of 2017, 87 accusers.
87 accusers, right?
And they say here, since the New York Times and the New Yorker, this is Ronan Farrow, Mia Farrow's kid, published bombshell reports last fall detailing decades of alleged sexual harassment and assault by producer Harvey Weinstein, dozens of women have come forward with similar claims against the movie mogul.
85 women have accused Weinstein, if inappropriate, to criminal behavior, ranging from requests for massages to intimidating sexual advances to rape.
And of course, he denied the accusations until he got 23 years in prison.
And then I think, I assume, Sanford style faked a heart attack and ended up going to hospital instead.
So I won't get into the names of these women, but one actress posted to Instagram that Weinstein coerced her into a private meeting.
He behaved inappropriately and propositioned a personal relationship to further my career whilst bragging about other actresses he had helped in a similar way.
He tried to take my hand and put it in his lap, which is when I managed to leave the room.
And another woman...
This is Rosanna Arquette.
Sorry, I said I wasn't going to say names.
Forget that. It's public information anyway.
She rebuffed an early 1990s advance from Weinstein, saying he asked for a massage while wearing only a bathrobe.
She says the producer told her she was making a big mistake by rejecting him and claims he has made things very difficult for her for years.
Another woman... And I actually listened to this Italian model.
It can be heard being pressured by Weinstein in audio tapes from a New York Police Department sting in 2015.
In the tapes, he seemingly admits to groping the model on the previous day, and he reached a settlement with her.
And another actress accused Weinstein of offering her alcohol during their first meeting when she was just 17.
She wrote, I assumed it would be in a conference room, which was very common.
When I arrived, reception told me to go to his room.
He opened the door in his bathrobe.
And it kind of goes on and on.
Some of these women say that they ended up in a longer-term relationship with Harvey Weinstein.
One of the women said she kept dating him, but it was degrading.
She kept dating him, but it was degrading.
Now, this is as of late, wait, 23 hours ago?
Weinstein gets 23 years in a sentence hailed by accusers.
Harvey Weinstein pleaded for mercy and said he was totally confused by the sex crime case that got him sentenced to 23 years in prison.
And this, of course, is the Me Too thing as well.
His accusers, who testified against him and many others who have spoken out elsewhere against the former Hollywood mogul, hailed the near-maximum punishment for his rape and criminal sex act convictions as long overdue.
Weinstein, 67, broke his courtroom silence to say he felt remorse for this situation, but he also argued that men are accused of things that none of us understood.
Thousands of men are losing due process.
I'm worried about this country.
I'm totally confused.
I think men are confused about these issues.
So he was convicted last month of raping a once-aspiring actress in a New York City hotel room in 2013 and forcibly performing oral sex On former TV and film production assistant, blah, blah, blah, at his apartment in 2006.
So, alright.
There's not much point coming in here to have me listen to you.
Sorry, have me listen to read articles.
So, let's get to the meat of the issue.
And I apologize in advance.
This is going to annoy and bother a lot of people.
I put this forward as...
Interesting conjectures and things that I have thought about deeply for many, many years.
A novel I wrote even before I came into the public sphere started out with these kinds of issues.
So I really have thought about this stuff for a long time.
Doesn't mean that I'm right. Doesn't mean that what I'm saying is any kind of final word.
But I'm not just coming out of this out of nowhere.
So without any further ado, let's get into it.
All right. I was in the business world Oh boy.
From the age of 27 or so.
Yeah, about 15 years.
And it's funny too, if I was still in the business world, I used to do a lot of business in China with Chinese people, of course.
And it's funny, I traveled there and kind of glad I'm not in the business world at the moment.
But over that 15-year period, I took, I don't even know how many meetings.
Not one of those meetings occurred before.
In someone's hotel room.
Not one. In fact, if I had had a business meeting with someone during the day and they couldn't make it and they said, hey, you know, I need you to come by my hotel room at 11 o'clock tonight so we can talk business.
I mean, it would have been a completely ridiculous thing to ask for.
You understand all of this, right?
It would have been a completely ridiculous thing to ask for.
And no sane human being that I can imagine would have said, yeah, that seems totally normal.
Totally normal. Absolutely, I'm going to go.
And particularly if it was, say, a woman, right?
I was a fairly tasty slab of man meat when I was younger.
And if it was a woman saying, well, you know, Steph, sorry that I couldn't make the meeting today in the actual office, but, you know...
If you come by my hotel room at 11 o'clock tonight, I'd love to take that meeting one-on-one.
I mean, come on.
Come on.
Ladies, you've got to be kidding me.
You've got to be kidding me.
Who takes these meetings?
Who? Now, you understand, this doesn't mean...
That he's not a guilty son of a bitch who should never have laid a hand on these women.
Absolutely. But you see, philosophy is about prevention.
It's not about cure. Cure is for the lawyers and it's for the criminal court system and it's for the jails and the magistrates and the wardens.
That's cure. This is about prevention.
And philosophy can't help you once you're in those kinds of situations.
As I've said a million times before, philosophy is like a nutritionist.
And if you've lived a Jerry Garcia kind of lasin and hamburgers life and you have a heart attack, you don't call your nutritionist and say, I'm having a heart attack.
This could be the big one. What should I do?
Because the nutritionist is going to say, well, A, maybe you should have gone back 30 years and listened to my advice.
But B, I'm a nutritionist.
I can't help you now. I can't help you now.
You've got to call the ER. You've got to get an ambulance.
You've got to get to a doctor right now.
A nutritionist can't say, well, you know, maybe, okay, you're having a heart attack right now, but I've got a good plan here.
Swap out some of the red meat for some salads and, you know, I'm sure you'll be fine.
I'm not going to help you. So when I say I'm going to criticize some of these women, I'm not saying that Harvey Weinstein shouldn't be in jail.
He should be. I'm not saying he wasn't a huge, disgusting criminal man pig.
He was and probably would still be with fistfuls of blue pills if you had half a chance to.
Was he a predator? Yeah, in my opinion.
And of course, according to the opinion of the jurors, yeah, he was.
But let's stop getting into these situations all the time.
It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous.
What happened to the common sense of women and the men who advised them?
I mean, I don't understand.
How these situations so repetitively...
I mean, look, I understand why Hollywood covers it up.
I understand why Meryl Streep sings his praises, if I remember rightly.
I understand all of this.
I understand why this whole corrupt mess exists.
What I don't understand at all.
Please help me.
Help me understand this.
For these women, these young, beautiful, talented, intelligent women, go and take a meeting...
And the guy swings open the penthouse hotel room door, dressed in a bathrobe, full-on porn scruff going, probably Barry White playing in the background and some sort of anal lube coming out of the sprinklers overhead.
And he says, why, yes, coming in.
Let's have a business meeting.
I mean, God almighty!
Oh! You know, here's the thing.
Let me just speak to the ladies here, right?
Ladies, ladies. Okay. You gotta get this.
Okay. So, my guess is that these women, they grew up around a lot of nice guys.
A lot of Christian guys, maybe.
I don't know. Like, maybe a lot of white, Christian, nice, Republican-y guys, right?
Yeah. And so they were used to using their sexuality to get what they wanted.
And come on, I mean, I don't believe this ever happened with Rosie O'Donnell, say, or Kathy Bates, or Jessica Tandy, or, you know, whatever.
These are all young, beautiful, sexy women, right?
So my guess is that these women, when they were growing up, they were able to You know, use their cleavage to swing open the doors of opportunity.
And they would be out there on full sexual display, full makeup.
And, you know, these women would go to these meetings looking as good as they possibly could because they know that to some degree, to a large degree, they're being hired for their sex appeal, right?
The it factor. Do, you know, like...
Do women...
Like, do men want to have sex with this woman?
That's like a foundational requirement for a lot of these young ingenues, right?
In a... In an industry in Hollywood where, like, there's three ages for women, right?
There's, like, the young ingenue, the hot thing, and then there's, like, the district attorney, and then there's driving Miss Daisy.
Like, that's it. There's three of these categories as a whole.
And so they're used to...
Being on full sexual display.
And then the moment they say to a guy, nah, he's like, whoa, okay.
Hey, you know, I'm a nice guy.
I'm a good guy. You know, praise the Lord and all that good stuff.
And so they're used to holding up their hand and the man just stops.
And there's this magical force shield of will around these women.
Grow up with very, very nice...
Now, the men are horny and the men want to date them and the men want to have sex with them because they're men, right?
That's what they want to do. But the moment that the woman said, nah, the men just stop.
It's a kind of magic, right?
It's an amazing thing for a woman.
And what this does is it allows her to flex her sex appeal, never feeling at risk.
And ladies... Maybe I just read Looking for Mr.
Goodbar one too many times when I was a kid, but it is not a good idea to be out there unfurling the butterfly wings of your massive sex appeal to get what you want.
Because, while it's true, there are a lot of nice guys out there, there are also some not nice guys out there who, when you put yourself forward in your full flex of sexual appeal...
And suddenly he does something you don't want him to do.
99 guys out of 100 will be okay.
Hey, you know, sorry, man.
Read the wrong signals.
Misunderstood. He shoots and he misses.
Strike! He's out of there.
Welcome to Downsville, population, you!
But don't let those 99 guys...
Fool you into thinking that other guy ain't out there.
Because he is. And Harvey Weinstein was one of those guys, I think.
One of those guys who just corners you with this big man, bear, pig, whatever he had going on.
And, you know, fleshily, jowly, pawingly grabs at you.
And you're like, hey, no, magic hands!
This is my no-touch zone!
Force field! Force field!
And, you know... That patriarchy that you always heard about but never actually encountered, well, it's right there in the room with you and it's blocking your exit.
And this is fundamentally so terrible.
It's so terrible that the women go into this environment shaking their money makers and And come on, look at these victims.
And they are victims, I get it.
But there are victims, to me, of a foundational ignorance that led them into this situation where they're cornered in this kind of way.
There is something that...
I don't know if women don't know this.
I don't know if this is like natural wisdom that's just been lost over time.
I don't know. I don't know. You guys, let me know what you think.
I'll take questions in a few minutes.
But my God...
Here's the thing. If you're a 20-year-old woman and you're physically attractive, right?
You've got the fertility markers, you've got the clear skin, the even features, the hip-to-waist ratio, the hourglass figure, the lustrous hair, all of the stuff that says, good genes!
Very little cousin marriage in this lineage, right?
All of the non-royal family stuff, right?
If you've got those fertility markers, men are going to want to have sex with you.
Right? You're the bait.
Marriage is supposed to be the hook, right?
That's how it's supposed to work.
Now, here's the thing.
So men will pay you a lot of attention.
Men will...
I mean, I was a young man.
I get all of this, and I'm not decrying any of it.
It's fine. It's natural mating ritual.
In a free society, it would be a delicious and delightful thing.
But the reality is, ladies...
I know men are paying a lot of attention to you.
I know that you can snap your fingers and five guys will come up and buy you drinks.
I know that you have to sit around with your resting bitch face to drive away the men you don't want in order to get the alpha that you do want.
I know that you've got to dress yourself up to the nines knowing that 99 out of 100 guys are going to want to go away from you.
I get all of that. This is a very artificial situation.
You're supposed to grow up in these small towns, these small villages, these small tribes, and women were supposed to just...
Milk those looks for a couple of months, maybe a year or two, and then get snapped up.
And the most attractive ones would get snapped up pretty quickly, and then in your permanent monogamous pair-bonded relationship, having kids, your beauty is kind of erased by the stampede of little joyful feet, and you don't have to carry this burden of...
Angelina Jolie-esque cat lady cheekbones and sanded down truly horrific styles of plastic surgery maintenance for decade after decade.
That's a heavy burden to carry.
And the longer you carry it, it's like Gollum and the Ring.
It gives you power, but it kind of steals your soul, right?
So when you're 20, ladies, I know you get a lot of attention.
I was one of those guys out there giving the hot girls attention and getting them to go out with me.
But here's the thing. You gotta look in the mirror and understand, yeah, you look great.
You know, you look great. Absolutely.
You know, you are pollen to the bee.
You are, you know, honey to the bear.
I get all that. You are swimming to the shark.
Right? So, you look great.
But here's the thing. You're not, and I don't mean to shock you with this, but it is a basic fact.
You're not that interesting. As a person, and that's the paradox that I really wanted to unravel in this conversation.
Because you get a lot of attention, but you're not actually that interesting.
Now, that's not a diss against women.
There are very few men and women at the age of 20 who aren't that interesting.
What did, Rimbaud only made it to 19, right?
So you're not that interesting.
You're not that interesting. So then, if you're getting a lot of attention, it's because men want to...
I don't want to say, just want to have sex with you and all of that.
It's more than that. It's more than that.
But it's romantic-based.
It's romance-based. It's sex-based.
You're not that interesting.
And it's very easy, I think, for a woman in her youthful sexual prime to think she's really, really fascinating and interesting because men pay her so much attention.
Now, this was bad throughout human history, and this was a force that needed to be tamed all the way through human history, which is why pair bonding and monogamy was what was used to shackle down the near-bottomless pit of female vanity, and women's great weakness is vanity, men's great weakness is status.
But Now, for women out there, I mean, this vanity has swollen to tumoresque proportions.
I mean, the thirst is like a goddamn force of nature.
It's like the unified field theory that Einstein chased his moppy head around for decades trying to catch.
Because now a woman doesn't have to get dolled up and go out to a bar.
She can just, I don't know, throw her profile up and shoot from the camera up on Tinder or Plenty of Fish or I don't know, whatever else is out there.
And she just gets thirst, thirst, thirst, beta, beta, beta, attention, attention, attention.
And it's heady stuff. It's heady stuff.
But man, come on, ladies...
You know the deal. You know why guys are interested in you.
It's because you're young and fertile.
Like, maybe you're a unicorn and maybe you have been reading Murray Rothbard since you were 12.
Absolutely, that's out there.
I get that. You know, there are people out there.
I mean, I toured Australia with one of these women, right?
And so, yeah, it could be.
It could be. But come on.
I mean, really. I mean, I don't think any of these actresses...
I could be wrong, but I'm going to go out on a squeaky limb here, and I'm going to basically say that many of these actresses, if not all of these actresses, well, none of them were reading Murray Rothbard or Aristotle or Rimbaud, for that matter, when they were in their teens.
They weren't cracking open crime and punishment at the age of 15 like I was.
And even I wasn't that interesting when I was 20.
And I'm a pretty smart guy.
Pretty interesting guy. So...
You're just, you're not that interesting, and you know that deep down.
But it's like, it's an addiction that's really, really hard to shake.
You're not that interesting.
If you accept that, you can work to become interesting.
Now, if you work to become interesting as a woman, and as a man, but let's talk about women here, if you work to become interesting, a fascinating thing will happen.
You'll actually start to attract interesting people rather than guys who want to bone you.
It's really, you know, I really dislike the unearned.
Really dislike the unearned.
Which is why, you know, I'll criticize guys who are proud because they're tall.
Yeah, good job. Good job being the holder of the jeans you have.
Or guys who are like, yeah, I've got great hair, you know.
Yeah, good job.
Good job. Not losing your hair.
Boy, that must have taken a lot of effort, right?
The unearned. I really, really dislike the unearned.
And surfing the unearned Tsunami of youthful male hormones is not something that...
Like women, you've not earned sexual attraction.
You say, oh, well, I've done my sit-ups and I've got my push-up bra and I go to aerobics.
Like, yeah, but you do those things largely because there's already this tsunami.
Right? Come on.
I'm happily married. I can tell the truth.
Finally! Lord praise above!
I can tell the truth, right? Women don't earn...
The hormones that drive man's behavior.
Look, guys, we all know this transition.
I talked about this last year in Orlando, the 21 convention.
It's like one day, girls are just kind of annoying and you hope they don't come and play in your football game, or soccer game as I was playing, and then the next day it's like, girls, girls, girls, you can't, right?
And, you know, back in the day when it was like Speedos, you're out there in the swimming pool at gym and you're bending your boner backwards so it doesn't bulge through your Speedos and get embarrassing for you, right?
I mean, guys, we go insane.
We go mad. We go mad for women.
And it's not something that's under our control.
I mean, sorry, the effects of it, of course, are under our control.
What we do with it is under our control and should be and must be for civilization to continue.
But lust...
Hunger, thirst for sexuality, for romance, for pair bonding, all of that stuff.
That's not under our control.
It's just taps go on, and eyes bug out, and suddenly it's like, instead of being girls, it's like...
Oh, man. Is she going to play baseball?
She can't even catch or throw.
Right? Suddenly it's like, oh, is she going to play?
I mean, it's going to be interesting to see Cernovich's event.
Ashley Sinclair and a couple other women, I think, are like, you know, come party with us, boys, in Las Vegas.
And it's like, I'm going to see. It's going to be curious what happens with that, right?
And there's this funny video on the internet about some guy who put those eye trackers on.
Like, you know, you can control some video games or some applications with eyes.
You've got a little... Special camera on your computer.
And he's like, I'm going to log in to a Twitch girl's live stream.
I'm not going to look at her boobs.
I'm not going to look at her boobs, right?
But you can see where he's looking based on the dots on the screen, right?
And of course, the image comes up, straight to boobs.
Oh, man!
Busted! Or it's like, you know, the woman wearing cleavage is like, hey, my eyes are up here, you know?
Well, why are you pushing your cleavage up like this little flesh tsunami?
But anyway. So, women don't earn male attention.
It's something that possesses men and drives us in a particular way, but you don't earn it.
And so... You want to challenge for these actresses.
And again, I have great sympathy for them.
Harvey Weinstein belongs in prison.
Everything he did was wrong, that he was convicted of.
No question. No question.
Man, pig of the first order.
But ladies, let's stop getting into this kind of situation, okay?
So I got to just break it down for you and I'll take some questions.
So ladies, you're not that interesting and you're kind of replaceable.
You're kind of replaceable.
So these young women, like when was the last time, let me ask you this question, it's a serious question, when was the last time you saw a movie or television show or whatever and you looked at a young hot actress and you said, oh man, there's no way anyone else could have played this role but her.
Come on, you're kind of interchangeable.
You know, reasonably competent actress, attractive person, knows how to hit her marks and hold her chin in the right way so the light catches you well, and usually a pleasant voice, and I guess like Jennifer Aniston, you know, is willing to be hungry for 30 years for the sake of ambition or whatever.
But you're kind of replaceable.
And that's true of a lot of actresses, too.
We're just talking about actresses here as well, right?
And maybe the actresses have their own problem with gay Hollywood.
I don't know, right? But...
You're not that interesting. Men want to have sex with you, and you didn't earn that.
That's just nature's way of making more people.
I mean, you earned that about as much as a photocopier is an artist.
Hey, look, I photocopied a Dilbert.
I'm Scott Adams! Right?
Actually, even the photocopier, not the person who photocopies.
So I think that the women kind of know that deep down, and it's a tough thing.
So you go into... Trying to get a movie role based upon men wanting to have sex with you a lot of times, right?
And so that's kind of tough.
So the only reason you're in the offing for these jobs a lot of times is because men want to have sex with you.
And then, shockingly, men want to have sex with you.
And unfortunately and monstrously, it's not the 99 nice guys who will say, okay, when you say stop, it's the other guy who won't, who doesn't, who didn't.
And that's tough. I don't like it when people found their identities on things they did not earn.
I'm a smart guy.
I didn't earn that. Intelligence, or at least IQ, which is pretty closely related to intelligence, IQ is 80% genetic by your late teens.
I think the number goes up from there.
So as far as my intelligence goes, your intelligence, we didn't earn that.
Which is why I put my nose to the grindstone and try to use my intellectual abilities for the good of mankind.
I didn't earn it. I just have this brain.
You have your brain. We're smart people.
Of all the people listening to this, I'm going to put on that pedestal.
I think rightly so. We're smart people.
Great! We didn't earn it.
So what good can we do with it?
Because the only thing that's going to give us pride, the only thing that's going to give us security, the only thing that's going to give us self-esteem, the only thing that's going to make us able to love and be loved is throwing aside All the things we did not earn and grasping all the things that are hard and working like hell to create and provide value in this world outside of the merely accidental.
You understand? You're really tall.
Who cares? You got nice hair.
Who cares? You got nice skin.
Who cares? The guy next to you with the pizza face, he didn't ask for that.
And it's not because he's eating chocolate.
Okay? I knew someone when I was a teenager.
Oh, man! Oh, it's just horrendous.
It was like he stood in front of the backwash of a Jet 747 engine with a bunch of tomatoes coming out.
Just boom! And not just his face, but his arms, his chest, his back.
Ah, it was horrible. He didn't earn that.
I had relatively clear skin.
I didn't earn that. Ooh, I have blue eyes.
Some people find that attractive.
I didn't earn those. I didn't sit there and say in the womb, Okay, if I do enough sit-ups and don't get myself choked with this umbilical cord, I'm going to get me some blue eyes.
Now, you know, you lose weight and so on.
That's great. That's, you know, something that you've earned.
But, you know, when you inherit a bunch of money, you didn't earn that.
You've got to take that ruthless razor right down the middle of your life, right down the middle of your soul, your entire existence, existentially, and you've got to separate.
Here's all the stuff I did not earn, and here's the stuff I can work to achieve.
Every time we rest on the laurels of the accidental, the biological, the hereditary, the inherited, every single time we rest our laurels, On those things we fall forever.
You cannot get self-esteem from what you did not earn.
Now, if you inherited a bunch of money, fine.
It doesn't mean you can't have self-esteem.
It just means you don't take any pride.
You see all these stupid, ass-wipe rich kids, you know, who are like, here's a picture of me in front of my Lambo.
I'm 17. You didn't earn that.
You didn't earn that.
In fact, your parents didn't even earn your love, which is why they're buying you a Lambo when you're 17.
You see all these pictures of the status, right?
The status of like, I'm on a yacht.
Really? Did you make the yacht?
Did you earn the yacht? Did you build the yacht?
It's one of the problems I had early on in my business career.
I was installing a network system in a guy's house.
I need a beautiful house. And I was living in one rented room for $275 a month all in.
Poor guy, let me tell you.
I remember it was $275 a month for my entire lodging.
And it was $2.75 for one of the best souvlakis you could possibly have in this or any other planet in the restaurant nearby.
And there were times it was like, $275, that's a lot.
Those are the days when I used to...
In the student newspaper, there were two-for-one coupons for Subway, and I realized that if you got the right ingredients, you could get a two-for-one sub, you could eat half a sub, you could get four dinners out of that.
I mean, don't choose the fish, obviously, because if it goes off, you're kind of in trouble, right?
And I was at this guy's place, and...
I said to him, because I never really resented the people who had more.
I was kind of happy, because, you know, it gives you something to aim for, right?
I never really resented it. I didn't fall into that Orwellian leftist hatred of success or wealth.
It's like, yeah, good. I'm glad there are people who have some breadcrumbs to aim towards, right?
Okay, that's another story.
And then I'll take some questions. I appreciate your indulgence.
I hope this stuff is interesting. I guess so.
People are staying. But...
This guy, I said, man, you got a beautiful house.
And he really did. I mean, just a beautiful house.
I said, man, you got a beautiful house.
And he turned to me and he said, yes, the Lord has been good to me.
And I was like, hmm, boy, did that never not land very well for me.
The Lord has been good to me.
The good Lord has been fine to me.
Well, why isn't the Lord been good to me then?
I mean, this is the natural question you have, right?
If you're very athletic, you have an athletic ability.
Look, you work to enhance that athletic ability and you should be proud of that.
But just having...
Like, if you've ever played pickup games as I did, there was a guy who we played pickup games with who kind of moved like...
Edward Scissorhands was moving his strings attached to his body while having some sort of epileptic attack.
He just couldn't coordinate himself no matter what.
And, you know, we played these pickup games of soccer and baseball and so on when I was a teenager for years.
And this guy just couldn't get it.
And, you know, we never had the heart to say, you can't play.
He was a pretty nice guy.
But he just was ridiculously uncoordinated.
And I remember I was playing volleyball when I was on a volleyball team when I met my wife.
And I also played volleyball later with a friend of mine from work.
Just no coordination. He was a good skier, but he couldn't do the hand-eye coordination to save his life.
Okay, so you happen to have really great hand-eye coordination.
Good for you. Man, fantastic.
You've got to be proud of that. I just inherited that.
Oh, I'm really, really good with math.
Good, good. Okay, but can you do something that's hard that makes the world a better place because of that?
Can you? I mean, I remember one night, I must have been maybe 12, and just had another terrible night at home with my mom who was bouncing off the walls, shrieky and screaming.
And in that kind of mood, like if you grew up with a violent person, you learn to read those tea leaves of when...
You know, it's coming like Brad Pitt, the serial killer in that movie with David Duchovny.
It's like, it's coming.
Like, you've got to get out. The ball's coming.
Like, the ball's coming down, Indiana Jones style.
The violence is escalating.
The patterns are all there. The dominoes are coming down.
You've got to get out. And I went out.
I've got to go get something from school.
I went out. And it was, like, raining.
And it was cold. And it was, you know, those points in life where you're just...
Man, you're just low.
You know, you're just low.
You're like, man, it's seven years till I can become an adult.
How am I going to make it?
How am I going to make this?
And how long can I stay out to try and gauge when I'm not going to get beaten up for going back because I was out too long?
Or get beaten up for being out without an umbrella or whatever it was, right?
And I was walking around...
And I ended up going on a, like a hike, a ravine hike.
I didn't want to be, I didn't want to be seen on the street, you understand, right?
Because if you're wandering around in the rain, it's cold, you don't want people stopping, and you're a kid, right?
You don't want people stopping and saying, what are you doing out here?
Are you okay? So I had to get away from people.
So I went on a walk through the woods.
And, you know, again, it's raining and it's slippery and it's dark and It was not a high point in my life.
And we've all had them.
We've all had issues where, like, man, I really can't take going much lower than this.
Like, if there's many more layers lower than this, I don't know how I'm going to go on.
Like, I don't hope that you've had those, but I know that everybody who's really gone through trials has had those experiences where it's like, how am I going to do this?
How am I going to? And then it's just, you know, just get through the next minute, get through the next minute, get through the minute.
And then, you know, eventually things will usually start to To ease upwards, but I remember walking through the woods on this slippery slope, and there was this chain-link fence, there was this backyard, and there was this family.
And I just happened to look over, and I look at this family, and they're laughing and playing cards around a dinner table.
Now, I was aware this was a private moment.
They didn't know that there was some bedraggled...
Oliver Twist kid out there in the woods, cold and wet.
So I didn't linger because of the private moment.
But I just remember that sight of a family, a mom and a dad and two kids, playing cards and laughing, like slamming the cards down hard and laughing.
And a tidy house and a neat house and a nice house.
And I remember thinking, Oh man, do I want that.
Oh man, do I want that.
I yearned for that so deeply.
It became a guiding principle.
And it's funny, these little flashes, you're low, and you just look for something to pull you up.
Right? Something to...
Just a rope.
I'll climb. I just need a rope.
And that rope came down.
Anyway, it wasn't too long ago that memory came back to me when I was playing cards with my family.
Oh, it's a funny thing.
The memory came back to me.
I hadn't thought about it in a long time. The memory came back to me when I was playing cards with my family and we were having a blast.
And I actually looked...
I looked out the back door.
I didn't get up and look out.
I'm not crazy, right? But I looked out the back door almost like...
I looked out the back door almost like I would see my 11 or 12-year-old face giving me the thumbs up and then dissolving into the rain.
Good job, man. You did it.
You got there. You pulled it off.
That is... An important thing to remember when you're low.
There'll be some place you can go.
All right. So, let us have a couple of questions.
I do have a call tonight.
And remember, we're going to be resurrecting the call-in show for Free Domain.
And you can get there on the Discord server through Subscribestar.com.
All right, see if we have any questions.
Corona is such a stupid pandemic, the common flu kills far more.
Well, you know, the flu back in the post-Second World, post-First World War period, 27% of the world's population got infected with the Spanish flu, which was actually from China.
And it killed between 50 and 100 million people, which kind of puts it on par at both World Wars I've heard about this 5G thing as well.
So I know that there's a bunch of people who say that 5G is a contributing factor, if not the enabler for COVID-19 vulnerability and mortality.
I don't know much about 5G. And I do try to work to keep radiation at a lower level because, you know, I have cancer and all that.
So I have a big, big ass telly hat for when I'm outside and I use, well, I guess I can show you, right?
There's no reason why I can't show you.
The headset that I use for my show is an air tube, right?
So there's no radiation whatsoever.
It just takes the air.
It's an air tube, and I use that for listening to audiobooks as well as an air tube.
So I will try and keep my radiation to a minimum.
I don't know, honestly, enough about the 5G. But I will say this.
I had someone contact me wanting to talk about organ harvesting with Fulangong members in China.
So... What do you guys think of that?
Would you be interested in hearing about this?
I do remember when I was in Hong Kong, seeing all of the propaganda put out by the government against the Fulang Gong.
But, yeah, Google, China uses 5G to ward off wild hogs.
It can be used as crowd control.
Yikes. Fulang Gong.
Okay, so would you guys be interested in hearing that?
Do that? No, I've heard the Kansas story as well, but there's some good theories about that.
Do you consider fine-tuning inherent skills and abilities genetically inherited something that's earned?
I believe you can be apathetic about your opportunities or inspired to achieve.
So something...
Oh, and by the way, Phil Goff, mayor in New Zealand, is now under investigation.
Oh, he lied like hell about me.
When I was touring Australia and New Zealand, man, he just lied like a rug about me, saying I've been banned from the UK and all these other...
Just monstrous, monstrous, absolute complete and total falsehoods, easily checkable.
And yeah, so Phil Goff is now under investigation.
So yeah, you take your joys in life where you can.
So... Something I wrote...
Somebody was asking me questions about a voluntary or peaceful or stateless society, and I looked up my book, Practical Anarchy, which you can find at freedomain.com.
It's free to read, to listen to.
And in it, I wrote, everyone is a genius and everyone is a philosopher.
And I really, really believe that to be true.
Now, I don't mean a statistical genius like 170 IQ or something like that, but when...
When you confront people, they're often very manipulative and they see down the road of what you're trying to achieve and they're really, really brilliant.
You know, like a debate I did with the Zero Books guy recently.
I mean, you could see he knew exactly when to fog.
The debate that it did with Mac McManus earlier, and I think I'm going to do one with J.F. Gary Appy coming up.
And not to speak of him, but the ones I've had in the past, people know exactly when to obfuscate.
They know exactly when to pull the sophistry card.
They're completely brilliant at hiding and dodging and manipulating.
So I think everyone's brilliant.
Everyone's a genius. You just have to find some way to harness it for the power of good.
And I really do believe that if people take their potential to the maximum, what they can achieve is so far beyond your imagination.
What you can achieve is so far beyond your imagination, you should never sell yourself short.
And you should always aim too high.
I hate that Icarus story.
The guy bolts wax wings, he uses wax to affix wings to his back, flies too close to the sun and falls and dies.
Or as a woman I used to date, an Indian woman I used to date, whenever I would say, oh, I'm really positive, really enthusiastic, she'd say, oh, black tongue, don't say it, the gods will see you.
She was kind of joking, but it was kind of from an old, maybe a Zoroastrian belief, like, oh, don't be happy, don't be enthusiastic, the gods will see you and smite you down.
No, no, no, no, forget that.
That's the job of the internet these days or the mainstream media.
Now, now, you can do incredible things.
You really can do incredible things.
things never sell yourself short because nature and mortality will sell you short eventually just throw you in the ground and make sure you've reached as high as you possibly can and i guarantee you you'll be able to reach far higher than you can possibly imagine so that's the stuff that um that you can be proud of uh according to cbs you are alt-right and dangerous yeah well what can i tell you
Alt-right is one of these phrases that is used by people who say, I don't really know how to think, but I'm dependent on the coerced income of other people, so anybody who's pro-free market, I'm going to say is a Nazi because reality is oppressive to me.
Dangerous? Yeah, I'm dangerous.
Of course I'm fucking dangerous.
What are you, crazy? Do you think I get this much attack, this much slander, this much falseness written about me?
Go check out my Wikipedia page.
You think they write that shit about people who aren't dangerous?
Of course I'm fucking dangerous.
But not to good people.
I'm a solve and a help to good people.
I'm dangerous to evildoers.
And that's kind of how it should be, don't you think?
That's the job. That's the gig.
Why on Wikipedia is so much, can't anyone rewrite it?
I don't know how the Wikipedia process works, but...
As far as I understand it, the page has been locked.
How it gets unlocked, I don't know.
But of course that should make... It should say right up at the top, it should say this page is locked and can't be edited because that would be honestly, I don't think it does.
But how do I push myself to reach beyond the stars?
Okay, so you imagine that you have a superpower.
Seriously, it's not magical thinking because you do have superpower, you just don't know what it is yet or how far it can stretch.
So... I said I can engage in an incredibly powerful conversation about philosophy with the entire planet.
That's what I'm going to do.
That's my gig. Is that an outlandish ambition?
Absolutely. Right?
Of course it is.
Would I have achieved this if I'd aimed lower?
Hell no. Hell no.
I aimed as high as I possibly could.
And I continue to aim as high as I possibly could, despite the downdrafts of suppression and deplatforming and demonetization and losing most of my income.
I mean, I just... I have to.
Like a kite rises on the headwind.
What if you...
had...
whatever...
Ability you think you lack that's standing in your way.
You feel you lack something.
And that's why you're not achieving what you could.
Something stands in your way.
Either you have something that you shouldn't, or you don't have something that you should.
What if that wasn't true?
What if... There was nothing standing between you and being incredible.
Many years ago, I read one of these stupid, throwaway, life-changing articles.
And this woman, I'm thinking the name is June Colbert, I could be wrong, this activist.
And she said, if I want to raise money for charity...
I know I'm going to have to throw a black tie event and get 500 of Canada's richest people to come and donate money.
So do you know what I do? I say that the event is going forward and I say everyone who's going to be there.
And because of that, everyone ends up being there.
Now, I'm not talking about fraud.
But I'm just saying that you act like it's happening and most times it will happen.
I started a software company with no formal training in computers.
And I became lead programmer, chief technical officer.
I started doing sales with no sales training.
I was a chief technology officer.
I was a chief marketing officer with no marketing training.
And yeah, you get a bit of fraud-itis.
Like, you know, people know that I'm not...
But you just...
Accept that you have what's necessary to do what you want and then go and do it!
And you'd be amazed at how many people will accept that you can do what you want to do just because you believe you can.
Again, I'm not talking about grabbing the joystick of a Boeing 747 with no training.
I'm not talking about any of that stuff.
I'm just talking about the stuff that stands between you and achieving what you want.
Imagine you have whatever superpower you think it is that other people have.
Imagine you have whatever superpower it is you think other people have who get what they want.
Imagine that you have that superpower.
What would you do if nothing was in your way?
What would you do if nothing stood between you and what you could achieve in life?
What would you do if every barrier that you had was purely imaginary?
And could be blown away like a stiff wind on a morning fog.
What would you do if your future was wide open to you?
What would you do without barriers, without breaks, without obstacles?
I'll tell you what you'd do. You'd do what I'd do.
You'd fucking walk through them. You want to slander me?
I'll be more honest. You want to de-platform me?
I'll just get better.
You want to take my income?
I'll find another way.
And I'll find a better way to get there.
Because my commitment is to you and to the truth.
And anybody who stands in the way of that, I'm just going to vault right over.
And in that vaulting, me...
A guy grew up in a single mom household.
Dirt broke. Had to get his first job at the age of 10.
Been paying his own bills since the age of 15.
Come on. Come on.
I'm not that good looking.
It's not the hearts that get me through.
You just imagine you have the superpower that you think other people have.
You would be absolutely amazed at what you can do.
You will rise to meet the challenges.
You will rise to meet whatever life an asshole is throwing your way.
As long as you have a goal that is bigger than just your own appetite.
It has to be a goal that is bigger than your own appetite.
All right. I'm a couple of minutes late for my other call.
But also make sure that you don't surround yourself with people who are going to drag you down.
Make sure that you surround yourself with people who believe in you.
Listen, when I was starting out this show, I knew what it could be.
I knew what could be possible.
And, I mean, back at the napkin calculations...
Hundreds of thousands of people have stopped hitting their children because of this show.
Thousands of babies have been born because of this show.
People have found love. People have gone out of bad relationships.
People have pursued their dreams.
People have achieved great things because of this conversation.
I knew what was possible because I said, what if I am no different?
From the great philosophers in history.
What if? What if?
I don't know. That's for history to decide, not me.
But what if? What if there's no big magical barrier?
What if? What if? I know this is going to get me scolded and scarred and scared and belittled.
I don't care. I'm just telling you the thought process so you can do something with your life that's amazing.
I said, okay, I'm reading about all these great philosophers.
What if there's no magic barrier between me and them?
What if? What if?
It's a possibility, isn't it?
What one man can do, another man can do.
And I thought, what if?
What if there is no magic source?
What if there is no historical movement or momentum that you need?
What if there is no barrier?
What if you can ascend the staircase to the gods of mankind?
Isn't it better to try?
Isn't it better to try?
So I said, well, what if?
What if philosophy is the birthright of mankind?
And where are the modern philosophers who are engaging with and elevating and energizing the masses?
Where's the, in case of emergency, break glass and behind it is a bust of some philosopher that tells the world what it damn well needs to hear?
And I'm looking around saying, where are all the philosophers?
Where are all the philosophers? And then, boom!
There's a mirror. Stop complaining about what's absent in the world and bring it to the world.
What if you are the saviour of those around you?
What if you are the saviour of the world?
What if you Can do great things.
Whose permission do you need?
Whose permission do you need?
What excuses are you making?
And why? And who do those excuses serve?
So when I first started out this show, I was like, I'm going to aim as high as humanly possible, man.
If I'm going to do philosophy, I'm going to do maximum philosophy.
Like the old Zort game, maximum verbosity.
I'm going to do maximum philosophy, no holds barred philosophy.
And I will stop for nothing and I will bend to no man and I will resist no topic.
And the people that I knew back when I was living a smaller life, a more delicate life, a more self-confined life, they couldn't come.
When you break out of inhibitions and you spread the wings of your full glorious potential, people will freak the fuck out.
Like I'm telling you, they will freak the fuck out because you're showing them a possibility that scares the living hell out of them, that they could ascend in Apollo-like styles of glory.
What do they want to do?
Do they want to rise with you?
Do they want to... Open up the escape hatch and blow the subterranean bath escape with pathetically low expectations inculcated by our educational system and our general culture.
Do they want to join you in shooting for the stars and traipsing the galaxies and putting your Tyrannosaurus boot print in the history of the world?
Nah. Much easier to roll their eyes and say that you're grandiose and you're crazy and you're You're going to just fail.
Who do you think you are? Steve Jobs?
Why not? Why not?
Steve Jobs was just Steve Jobs who believed he could be Steve Jobs.
Okay, I get this talent and I get all of that.
Whatever it's going to be for you.
If you're listening to this show, you're in the 1% of the 1%.
Yeah.
Trudeau's wife has tested positive for coronavirus.
That means Trudeau might have coronavirus.
If he does, we'll find out whether...
Weed cures coronavirus.
Bitcoin will be back, I believe.
All right. Okay.
Well, listen, I'm so sorry.
I'm going to have to...
How do I determine which call-in shows get uploaded and which do not?
It's been a while. Mr.
Mito Kour. I've heard of him before.
Yeah, if you think he'd be good, then give me a shout.
Give him a shout. Set it up, you know.
Empower yourself. Empower yourself.
All right. So thanks, everyone.
I'm not going to give you investment advice, but I don't believe Bitcoin's down for the count at all.
At all. I mean, jeez.
I mean, what's it? The Fed is just dumping another $1.35 trillion into the economy?
I think Bitcoin's coming back.
It is the new gold standard, as far as I can tell.
So thanks, everyone, so much.
