THE TRUTH ABOUT MARILYN MANSON!
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Well, well, good evening, everybody.
Stefan Molyneux from the future, your conscience, land of deplatforming.
So, good evening, everybody.
Hope you're doing well. We're going to try newish things.
Normally, the Wednesday night chitty-chatty bing-bang is to do with...
Me reading texts and responding to those, but let's voice it up, baby.
Let's get with the 21st century, if not downright the 20th century.
And I hope that you're able to join in.
I put the link in the chat if you wanted to add me in here.
I will be, of course, chatting on my Telegram channel and we can do it that way.
That way, and we'll do it from there.
So, wait for a couple of questions, I suppose.
The other thing, or I guess something that I did kind of want to mention, which I find quite fascinating.
Quick question. Hit me with a why if you're under...
Hey, Johan, how you doing?
Good evening, good evening. Thank you for dropping by.
Thank you for joining. Hit me with a why if you're under or at 5'8".
If you're under or at 5'8", or whatever the hell that is in metric, I can't recall, but what is that, 1.6 meters, something like that?
Hello, Tim Pool's hairpiece.
Hello, King Leo, how you doing?
Hit me with a Y if you're under 5'8".
Johan says, no, no, no, we got a bunch of tall dudes here.
Hello, Hamid. Hello, Anonymous Dan.
Hmm, self-contradictory name, I suppose.
Um, Lieutenant Dang.
So, yeah, we got one.
No, says Dark Plant.
No, says Pareto. Somebody says hi, because they just don't listen.
They just don't listen. I'm tall, handsome, and rich, says Johan.
And I'm going to go out on a limb here and say 31 years old.
Five foot nine, woo!
Six foot two, wasp!
Um... So we got some tall guys, a couple of short guys.
So have you ever heard of or read of the studies wherein they talk about what happens when you're short, how much money you need, To make up for being short.
Anybody? Hey, Julie, how you doing?
Nice to see you. Nice to see you.
Have you ever heard this? It's pretty wild stuff.
A friend of mine told me about this many years ago.
He was a grand total of 5'6", maybe, and he found it quite disheartening.
Now, I don't mean to make this disheartening at all.
I just thought it was kind of interesting to look at this.
So the height income trade-off for men and for women, right?
So let's do the guessing game because I find it entertaining.
Let's do the guessing game out here, right?
So if you're five foot tall, how much extra money do you need to make to be a 5'11 guy?
Like to be a 5'11 guy.
So if you're five foot tall, how much extra money do you need to make to make up for the fact that you're less than a 5'11 guy?
Anybody want to give any guesses out there?
$100,000 per inch?
That's what you got there, right?
So that would be $1.1 million per year, not net worth or anything, like per actual year.
Anybody want to take a guess?
We'll go with U.S. $100,000 per year says Sirius Bear.
Pareto 182 says $100,000 per inch.
The Julius is $400,000.
Richardson says 10k per inch per year.
I assume you're talking about your OnlyFans premium.
Okay. About four bitcoins in a year.
We got 250k.
All right. All right.
So that's really, really interesting, right?
So this is...
This is a table that shows the additional annual income that a man or woman needs to be as successful as a 5'11 1⁄2 tall inch man or 5'5 1⁄2 tall woman, the median heights in our online dating population.
So the baseline incomes, this may be a little bit further back, it's pretty close, right?
The baseline incomes were $62,500 for men and $42,500 for women.
Now, you know what's interesting is they say, well, women only make three quarters of what men make, but that's But in order to be attractive, a woman only has to make $42,500 to equivalent of a man $62,500, right?
Because apparently it's $10,000 a tip.
So that's really quite interesting, right?
So women make less, but they need to make less, or they don't need to make nearly as much to be considered attractive, right?
So if the man is five foot tall, he needs to make $317,000 A year more than the baseline, right?
So the baseline is $62,500.
He needs to make $317,000 a year more.
Right? $317,000 plus...
I'm not going to do this in my head.
Don't ever tell my daughter.
So he needs to make almost $380,000 a year.
Instead of $62,500 to make up for being 11.5 inches shorter than, I guess, what's considered the ideal.
Yes, the Julie was over. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because this is a good over-under, right?
This is a good over-under.
Hey, Steph Kretiz and all you legends listening in, thank you so much.
How much does Danny DeVito need to make?
Well, have you seen, uh, was it Rihanna Perlman or whatever his name, her name is?
Um, so, and, and it's, it's, um, dose dependent, right?
It's dose dependent. So here's something interesting.
So If the man is five foot tall, he needs to make $317,000.
Let's do another one down.
Let's do another one, right? So if he's five foot two, so he's got those two precious inches.
Every man's going to add an inch to every estimate anyway, right?
So if he's five foot two, so five foot zero guys need $317,000 extra per year.
If you're five foot two, what does that drop down to?
This is how you know whether it's like random, true, false, or what, right?
If it's 5'2", 5'0", 317,000, 5'2", what does he need to make?
What does he need to make?
Any guesses? Any guesses?
See, now we're in the neighborhood, right?
We're going to assume that it's less than 317, right?
Because otherwise, the whole thing wouldn't make that much sense, right?
Oh, I've got an edge there.
There we go. So, yeah. Any guesses?
240? 275?
Yeah, good. Good neighborhood.
Good neighborhood. I feel like there's a lag.
I do feel like there's a lag.
Asians make the most yet on the short end of the stick on the dating pool.
Yeah, true. It's a lot of...
Oh, yeah. So...
If he is 250, yeah, yeah, you're pretty close, right?
Oh, pretty close. So the actual number is $269,000.
So 5'0, 317.
5'2, $269,000.
5'4, $221,000.
5'6, $175,000.
5'8, $138,000.
5'10, $24,000.
If he's half an inch over the ideal, and so strange, I am actually 5'11 and a half, so just accidental ideal, right?
Or the median, sorry, not the ideal.
So if he is, he's got one half inch extra, he has to make $8,000 a year less.
Half an inch. So 5'10, he's got to make an extra $24,000 a year, right?
That's a quarter million almost in 10 years, right?
He goes two inches taller.
He goes from having to make an extra $24,000 a year to a woman finding him as attractive if he makes $8,000 a year less, right?
So that's, what, $54,500, right?
So instead of $62,500, if he's got, if he's six foot tall, he only has to make $54,500.
Now, if he's six foot two, this is a pretty wild jump, right?
So if he's six foot two, How much less can he make to be as attractive as a 5'11 guy, right?
Six foot two, right? Two and a half inches.
Two and five foot eleven and a half, right?
How much less money does he have to make a year to be equivalent in attractiveness to a five eleven and a half guy, right?
So some guy standing next to me, he's six foot two, and the woman looks at him and says, oh, I'll take X amount of dollars less.
Somebody says 36k, 20k less, says Duke Skywalker.
Yeah, 50k.
Oh, Julie. You're not helping the guy.
Minus 180k.
Okay, dude. Our baseline is 62,500.
He can be a hobo. That's right.
He could be a hobo.
Yeah, well, we'll get to the hobo.
The hobo is coming up. I'm not kidding.
The hobo is coming up.
So, if he's 6'2", Oh, can we please take slow mode off?
Oh, is that why things are slow? Yeah, we can take slow mode off.
We can take...
We can be off with the slow mode.
All right, let's... Oh, is that why things are slow?
Let me just do that. Sorry, let me just...
Oh, Lord.
Oh, Lord. How do I take off the slow mode?
Oh, you know what? While I'm here, let's toss out some lemons.
What do you think? Shall we, shall we, shall we?
Let's distribute some rewards.
Yes, indeed. That's what we shall do.
All right, here we go.
Does anybody know how to take off the slow-mo?
Oh, I bet you it's here. Hang on.
Moderator. Show timestamp.
Chatroom setting. Real quiet.
Hang on. Hang on. We'll get there.
Oh, here we go. Yeah, we'll take the slow-mo off.
Okay. Slow-mo is down to five seconds.
All right. So isn't that wild, though?
Isn't that wild?
He can be a hobo. So, yeah, congratulations, everyone who got some lemons.
Appreciate that. Manfreedomain.com forward slash donate.
That would be great.
So, yeah, it's pretty wild.
Now, if he goes...
It's just amazing, right?
If he goes from six foot two to six foot four...
So six foot four, he's got four and a half inches...
Off the median, which is $62,500 a year.
If he's 6'4", he has to make $51,000 a year less.
And he's as attractive, right?
Isn't that wild?
He's $51,000 less.
In other words, he goes from needing to make $62...
So, the guy who's 5'11 and a half needs to make $62,500 for a woman to be attractiveness level, whatever, $8.
But for the 6'4 guy, he only has to make $11,500 a year to be equivalent.
So the guy who's 5'11 and a half has to make an additional $51,000 just to be equivalent to the 6'4 guy.
But it gets even worse.
6'6 guy can make $63,000 less And a woman finds him as attractive as the 5'11.5 guy.
So let's put this in context, right?
Let's put this in context.
So a guy who needs to make $62,500 a year if he's 5'11.5, for him to be as equivalently attractive to a woman, a woman will pay him $500 a year if he's 6'6".
He doesn't have to make any money.
In fact... A woman would be happy to pay him $500 a year because he needs minus 63, but the starting point is 62.5.
I mean, I think I'm reading that correctly.
6'10", I guess at this point, it peaks out, right?
Because it doesn't go any higher than minus 63.
So isn't that wild?
So my friend who was 5'6", Needed to make $175,000 extra a year to be equivalent to me.
That's jaw-dropping.
I will put the link here, right?
That's completely jaw-dropping.
Here's the link in case you want to have a look at these numbers directly.
So, a guy who's 5'2 has to make over a quarter million dollars extra per year, not net worth, per year.
So, he's got to make $2.7 million extra over a decade, just to be equivalent to a 5'11 and a half guy.
Now, whether it's because women like taller guys to nestle up to, whether it makes them feel physically safe, or whether they like wearing heels...
Asian men must make at least $202,000 more than their white counterparts, given same weight, same personality.
Is that right? Wow. Wow.
Isn't that wild, though? That is brutal.
That is brutal. And one guy said, LOL, I need $265,000 extra just to have a relationship.
F my life. Well, unfortunately, that means not F your life.
A 6'6 guy is allowed to earn nothing!
Nothing. Now, a woman's income doesn't matter that much, right?
Just doesn't matter that much.
And it's also for looks as well, right?
So if you divide looks into a decile, right?
So there's 10%, bottom 10%, 20%, right?
So if the man is in the bottom 10% of looks...
The additional income he needs to make is $186,000 a year.
Isn't that wild? If he's in the 20%, bottom 20% of looks, or sorry, if he's 10% to 20% in looks, he needs to make $169,000 a year.
$20,000 to $30,000, $159,000, $30,000 to $40,000.
$151,000, $50-60,000, $143,000, $60-70,000, $128,000, $60-70,000, $80-90,000, $37,000, $80-90,000, $25,000, and if he's in the top 10%, he doesn't need to make extra at all.
Isn't that amazing?
Isn't that amazing?
Just brutal. Just brutal.
Now, here's the thing, right?
So, what's wild about this as a whole, and we'll get to the course in a sec, but what's wild about this as a whole is that, oh yeah, so listen, if you're tall, if you're tall, You're lucky.
It's really pathetic to claim superiority because of height.
I just wanted to point that out.
You're just lucky. And here's the thing.
If you build your self-esteem on accidental luck, you're kind of a terrible human being.
I just wanted to point that out.
You're kind of a terrible human being because you're taking vanity in something you didn't earn.
You're thinking you're better because of something you didn't earn.
And, you know, we always hear these talk about bigotry and prejudice and so on.
What we don't talk about, this is brutal stuff.
The height, the looks. Now, a man can do something about his looks.
You know, you can work out, you can, well, basically you can work out, you can weigh less and so on.
There's some things that you can do about your looks.
Make sure you have nice teeth, good oral hygiene, that kind of stuff, right?
But we don't talk about the unbelievable bigotry of women towards short guys.
Like, staggering levels of bigotry.
Can you imagine if there was a hirer, somebody who hired someone in a corporation, who said, well, if you're black, you need to pay me $317,000 to give you a job, right?
I mean, that would be incredibly bigoted.
If you were black, you got to bribe some guy, whatever, to get a job.
Or if you were a woman, you had to bribe some guy to get a job.
But short guys have to bribe women to get dates.
Like, this is straight up unbelievable bigotry against short guys.
And tall guys, you know, what's the old joke about?
It's a tall guy. He's got a...
He's got a card that he hands out, right?
And it goes something like, no, I don't play basketball.
Yes, the weather is fine up here and all that.
All the common questions.
So tall guys are just, you're just born lucky.
And I get all of that, right?
And so if you're tall, and I'm, I think, what's the average, 5'10 or something like that?
I'm slightly above average. And, you know, good posture helps a lot too, because a tall guy who slouches looks, to me, at least less attractive than a short guy with a good posture.
But, holy crap, I mean, this amount of bigotry and rejection for a guy through no fault of his own just happens to be short.
That's really sad. The halo effect applies to tall folks as well.
Oh yeah, in general, in conflict, the tall becomes ridiculous, right?
And the tall, yeah, somebody's saying at some point tall becomes goofy, that would be at least 6'5".
And a guy, a friend of mine named Chris, I knew when he was a teenager, he was tall.
I think he was about six foot five or something like that.
And a really great, really great guy.
Things actually didn't go too well for him in his life.
And one of the reasons was because he was so tall.
What did he get? He got knee issues.
Plus, tall guys tend not to live as long because their heart has to work harder to pump the blood around and all.
That's one of the reasons why women live on average seven years longer than men.
So, Yeah, taller people have...
And he had knee problems.
I remember we used to go to see movies.
And I thought...
We went to go and see a movie together.
It was a comedy. And he was...
I thought he was laughing so hard he was crying.
But just the way he had to sit and couldn't find...
He had to sit always on the edge and stretch out his knees because his knees were just killing him.
Just killing him. And...
So we don't talk enough about the incredible prejudice against...
Short people. You know, like there's that old song, short people got no reason to live.
I mean, come on, that's just awful.
I mean, I know it was kind of a half comedy song and all of that.
But the amount of prejudice shown by women against short guys is not talked about in society.
And it really should be.
Because there are some, you know, fantastic, wonderful...
I mean, there was a Sex and the City where there was this really confident hedge trader or bond trader or something.
And he's sitting in the bar and he gets off and he's really short.
And the woman's like, oh, right? Yeah.
And it's considered to be, like, a guy can't help his height.
Like, a woman who's overweight, she can do something about it.
This makes me worried to marry a short girl because my son will have to put up with this BS. Well, it's, my wife is, she's just a little under 5'2", so she's a wife compact edition.
I have a friend, she's 4'11", but won't date guys under 5'11".
Well, sure, because there's that whole status thing.
Like if for a guy to go with a fat girl, it's like, you know, that's an indication, usually a very low self-esteem.
And I think for a woman... There's that issue of, I can't get a tall guy.
And therefore, that's what I have to settle with, right?
There's an old Tom Likas.
Tom Likas used to always say this when he'd get some guy calling and complaining that his wife or his girlfriend was fat.
Tom Likas would always accurately predict that the guy didn't make much money.
You know, if you want to keep your wife slender, best thing to do is to make some decent coin and she'll rise to the competition, right?
So yeah, it's unbelievably brutal.
So here's the, I mean, this is a terrible thing.
We don't talk enough about the relentless, staggering, catastrophic, catastrophic bigotry against shorter guys.
And I mean, it's truly astonishing when you think that, you know, an inch, no, half an inch, literally half an inch height is a $32,000 a year gap requirement.
Half an inch height, that's nothing.
That's nothing. Half an inch height.
So if you're...
Sorry, it's...
Let's see. Half an inch height is...
Yeah, $8,000.
Sorry, $8,000 a year difference.
Sorry, 5'10 to 6'0 is 2", is a $32,000 gap.
From 5'11 to 6'0 is $8,000.
Now, I wonder... $8,000 difference.
In other words, a 6'0 tall guy...
Can make $8,000 less and he's considered just as attractive as $5,000, $11,500.
I mean, that's a round-up kind of situation.
I mean, put on a pair of sneakers and stand straight and you've made it, right?
So this is truly brutal.
And I wonder what it would be before the welfare state.
Now, listen, I get all of this stuff, right?
I get that... In the past, a tall guy, strong genetics, and he can fight for you, and he can defend you, and he intimidates, and tall guys can often make more money.
It's kind of like the with-hair guys.
Like, ever since there's been television, a bald guy has never become president, and 90% of men are balding I mean, the staggering prejudice against bald guys in politics is truly astonishing.
And you've eliminated 90% of the talent pool.
Because people won't vote for a bald guy.
You know, and it's funny because people said, oh, Steph, you should get into politics and so on.
And it's like, you know, the bald guys, just because we have a completely stupid population as a whole at the moment, a bald guy can't win in politics, which is, again, by the time you get to political maturity in your early 60s, 90% of men are balding and you just, you can't, you can't win.
I mean, isn't that amazing?
Through no fault of your own, right?
Being bald is just a genetic thing, right?
Through no fault of your own, 90% plus of men are simply out of political candidacy.
So you're dealing with usually less than 10% of qualified candidates, and then you expect to get a good president.
I mean, come on, right? You knock 90% of anybody out of the running for completely inconsequential reasons, right?
I mean, it's just hair.
It's just protein growing out of your scalp, whether it's there or not, right?
So that is...
Let's see here. My super tall, muscly friend with face tattoos says he's been with 300 or more women.
I believe him. So he's basically just a feminist creation machine, right?
Let's see here. People in school used to call my father short stuff.
The malnutrition made him short.
Yeah, I'm sorry about that. But that's because the body will always dispose of height to protect the brain.
Jeans are crazy. All my family, including my mom, 5'10 and over, but me, nope.
5'4". Oh, that's from Julie.
Yeah, yeah. Being fat indicates laziness, so of course the left would defend fat people.
Yeah, yeah. Tall women suffer because they can't find taller guys, and tiny short women get top dollar as spinners.
I am now frightened but curious to find out what a spinner is.
I dated a woman who was taller than me once.
Yeah. And it's funny, too, because she was tall, man.
She was like, I don't know, 6'3 or something like that, right?
I didn't particularly mind.
But I dated her.
And we had a couple. She was a nice girl.
We had a couple of dates. She was a good conversationalist.
But then she...
You know, we got to sort of prior dating, right?
And, you know, told a little bit about her stories.
And she said... I remember this story very clearly.
She said... Yeah, I was living with a guy two and a half years.
Two and a half years. I thought we were, like, getting along so well.
I mean, I thought maybe we'd get married or something.
We may be heading in that direction.
Anyway, I come home from work one day, and he's just gone.
And I said, what, like, Kim gone or him and his stuff gone?
He's like, yeah, she's like, he packed everything up.
He said he was going to work.
I guess he doubled back and he just, he packed everything up.
And he just, he was just gone, just gone.
Everything. And he blocked me, and I couldn't get in contact with him again.
No email, no nothing.
Just completely vanished from my life.
And then later I found out, she said, he'd even forwarded the mail.
He'd been planning this for a while.
He just beamed out, man.
I remember that phrase she said. He just beamed out of my life, right?
And I said, well, do you have any idea what happened?
She said, no, no idea.
I have no idea what the issue was.
No, I didn't say there were any problems.
Didn't seem that there were any problems.
We seem to be getting along.
But he just...
So I didn't date her again.
I mean, I think that's pretty obvious, right?
Didn't date him again, right? Do you think the half-saving medicines are any good?
I know some of them can cause infertility, and I don't think that's pretty good.
I think that's good at all. All right.
A bit. Biden is bald.
Another indication of election fraud.
No, no, no. He's got, he's had hair plugs since like the eighties or something like that.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
People in North Korea slightly shorter than the South.
Yes, that's right. That's right.
Ancient Greeks or Romans must have great anti-balding genes or those with hair survive history.
Oh, a spinner is a petite girl that you can spin around during the act.
All right. No, so, I mean, so bald, you know, the question is, why has bald survived in men but not in women, right?
And I think the answer is a couple of things.
Bald is an indication of higher testosterone and therefore can be a sign of greater aggression.
And of course, also remember when you'd be in fights and sword fights and so on before there were barbers and so on, people had their hair pretty long.
It could actually be pretty bad to have hair in those kinds of fights.
So it could actually be a benefit in sort of hand-to-hand combat.
So, somebody says, I've been taking finesseride, no side effects, on my end for hair loss.
No, and I get what you're saying.
I get what you're saying. I remember many years ago when I first started balding, I looked into hair transplants and I was like, nope, no, that's no good.
And I don't miss it.
I mean, it's an interesting question, right?
If a woman won't date you because you're bald, do you want her?
Do you wonder? I don't know.
Because, you know, you're probably going to go bold sooner or later anyway.
And the other thing I wanted to mention about this too, which is pretty wild, is don't women complain about being objectified?
I mean, don't women complain about being objectified?
I can't believe that they just view our physical characteristics and just being objectified.
It's like, hello! Hello!
You're willing to pay, or you're willing to accept $32,000 a year less for an inch and a half, or for two inches, from five foot ten to six foot two, sorry, six foot zero.
For two extra inches, you're willing to give up $32,000 a year.
So, somebody says, as a short man full of hair, I would gladly trade all of my hair for more height.
Somebody says, is critical race theory and the 1619 project a form of communism?
Yeah, it's communist subversion. Yeah, completely.
Listening to your philosophical parenting podcast, we have an 11-month-old.
Is there a particular book, Read Peaceful Parenting, that you like?
Parent effectiveness training is not bad at all.
It's not bad at all. Would you date a bald woman?
I would not. Some guys overcompensate when they're short.
I have an old friend that is five foot.
I've seen him kick the crap out of dudes one and a half foot taller than him.
Yeah, that's the of mice and men thing, right?
Of mice and men thing. So this is the wild thing, right?
That women complain that they're objectified.
And yet, if you look at something like the difference between five foot and And 6'6", women are willing to give up almost $400,000 a year for completely unearned height situations, right?
Like just happen to be tall, happen to be short, right?
I mean, I hugely sympathize with the short guys out there because it is brutal and it is pretty rough.
And I just, I really have a lot of contempt.
Not so much for the fact that women have this perspective, but the fact that society doesn't talk about it.
Women won't admit it.
And it's just so dumb.
And that women complain about being objectified.
Come on. Absolutely.
Give me a complete and total break.
Bro, women like men that look good too.
Arguably men are more vain in the looks department.
Women might like men that look good, too.
Well, that's a big-brained addition to a podcast where I just went through all the statistics about how women prefer good-looking men.
So thank you very much for joining late and thinking you're adding something by stating the blindingly obvious.
You must come into a room with all the lights on and say, hey, I should turn on the light.
Very helpful. Senator Duckworth said she would not vote for any straight white person for any of Biden's appointments.
Whites could not get away with that.
No, of course. Yeah, of course.
Look, the whole point is that straight white males vote Republican.
Straight white males vote Republican.
So, of course, they get a bit of prejudice.
I mean, they want to reliably...
The pattern recognition is pretty clear, right?
Is getting your kids into MMA a violation of peaceful parenting?
Um... I would never in a million years put a child of mine into mixed martial arts.
I just wouldn't do it. I just wouldn't do it.
I just wouldn't do it. All right.
I'm like five foot six and I get slighted a bit for my height, whatever.
No, it's why wouldn't I put them in?
Because why would you want to put them in situations where they're hit and being hit?
I don't understand.
I've managed to go through my whole life never being in a fistfight.
I mean, why would you want them to be hit and being hit?
And yes, immune mutation points out, kids could get brain damage from taking hits.
They could end up with joint issues.
It just takes one guy.
I know a guy. He's in his 60s.
He had an injury in his 20s from volleyball, and he just had to have his knee replaced.
Would this mean that short guys are smarter?
I don't know what the issue is with that.
Not a bad idea to teach children self-defense.
Uh... No, just teach them how to avoid fights, number one, and teach them about crypto and they'll do much better for themselves.
They can hire security guards.
Much better. Much better.
What about Brazilian jiu-jitsu?
I don't know. Is there some reason why you want your children to hit and others and be hit back?
I just don't quite understand. I mean, if you want, I mean, sports, I love, you know, getting my daughter into sports has been a great, great pleasure.
So sports, fitness, exercise, fantastic.
Hitting and being hit?
I don't know, man. It seems kind of apey, you know, if that makes sense.
Can you tell us about the history of totalitarian regimes trying to rid the population of firearms?
Well, sure, yeah. I mean, every time the government wants to take away your guns, the people in charge are basically saying that you'd be tempted to shoot them for whatever they're about to do next.
So, yeah, it's really, really sad.
BJJ is not striking. It also doesn't come with the dangers of striking arts.
Okay, well, I don't know.
I don't know anything about that. Never in a fight, really.
It's always good to avoid it.
You should defend yourself if necessary.
Why would I want to be in a fight?
I mean, seriously, are you crazy?
Why on earth would you want to be in a fistfight?
That's like the worst idea in the world.
And the world is full of bad.
That's one of the worst ideas.
You never, ever, ever, ever get into a fistfight if it can even remotely and possibly be avoided.
It can go so wrong so quickly.
You have no idea who you're fighting.
Did you see that football player who was picking on some guy and his buddy and the guy happened to be a mixed martial arts guy who just pounded the guy and the football player like almost lost an eye?
You can get brain damage.
You can get spinal damage.
You can die. You can get a concussion.
You can get brain swelling.
You can get hemorrhages. For God's sakes, like, people, stop with this false tough guy bullshit.
Stay away from fights like they're the plague, because they are.
Let's say you hit some guy, he falls, he hits his head, he dies, and you go to jail for 10 years for manslaughter.
Was that worth it?
Do you feel like a tough guy now?
Come on. Also, if you're a white guy, you obviously want to avoid getting in fights with anyone, but if you get involved in a fight with a minority, then you're a KKK, racist, minority-beating bigot, and you're done.
You've got to be kidding. Are you crazy?
You don't get involved in physical fights in any way, shape, or form.
I say this knowing some people who really know how to fight, and that's the first thing they'll tell you.
If anybody's really competent, they'll say, oh my God, that's the gym.
I'd never get involved.
In a physical fight.
You never know who's got a friend who's got a knife.
You never know. You never know.
Someone could bite you who's got a disease.
Like, oh my God.
For the sake of saying, well, I was a tough guy and I hit a guy.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Not in a million years. Not in a million years.
Not in a million years.
Don't do it. Let's see here.
If a commie attacks you, no, communists don't attack you.
They wait till they have control of the state first.
They're not courageous people.
All right. The legal consequences are a whole other factor.
They're not a whole other factor.
That's the whole factor. No one here is proposing starting random fistfights.
No, I'm telling you, run away.
Run away. If somebody starts picking on you, you blend into the crowd.
You go to a security guard.
You find an exit.
You just get out.
It's not worth it.
I'm telling you, it's not worth it.
It's not worth it.
Let's say you get into a fight with someone, there's no footage, and oh, oh dear, oh, too bad.
His daddy's a lawyer, and you get sued into oblivion, and you spend the next three or four or five years with hundreds of thousands of dollars of legal costs.
Is that worth it? Really?
Is that worth it? Good lord.
Men like to brag about fighting and shame those as pussies that don't fight for being smarter.
It's a toxic aspect of male culture.
Oh god, yeah. Oh, my God.
I mean, people, you've never been in a fight?
Like, that's a bad thing?
You've never been in a fight?
Well, I guess I was in one fight when I finally hit back at my mom when I, I guess, was about 12 or 13, and I finally hit her back, and I was like, yeah, we're done with that.
We're done with that shit now, Mom.
Right? So, no. I mean, my God.
My God. And you can almost always get out of a fight.
Look, if you have to roll yourself in a ball and cry like a girl and then get up and walk away, the idea that you'd feel shame about this, it's like I just got away from a dangerous situation.
Like if a bear attacks you and you play dead and then the bear wanders off and doesn't rip your fucking scalp off, do you feel like I'm an idiot?
Oh, I should have fought the bear. No, you're crazy.
Don't do it. You're right, it's a bad idea, says Old School Grammar.
I've seen friends in the hospital for it.
I'm saying that you should do everything to avoid it.
If you have to, Well, um, but just, I don't, I mean, I don't understand.
I mean, just don't go, don't be in situations.
Don't be around people. Just don't be in those situations.
Don't tough it out. Don't put our vibes.
Like, just don't do it.
Don't do it. My God.
What if Antifa attack?
You need MMA. In Austria, the guys who subdued a terrorist attack were MMA fighters.
Yeah, for sure.
For sure. Look, if in Austria, there was, I guess, a terrorist attacker, MMA fighters.
Okay, good. So the MMA fighters probably spent, what, 5,000 hours studying that stuff, in which they weren't reading books, they weren't sharpening their minds, they weren't expanding their personal skills, their social skills, their market skills, their value.
So, I mean, what, for the possibility, you spend 5,000 hours or 6,000 hours Doing this fairly mindless stuff.
For what possibility? That you're going to see a terrorist in the act and subdue him?
Come on. You've more likelihood of winning the lottery, for God's sakes.
I mean, this has got to be ridiculous, right?
If Antifa attacks.
So if Antifa attacks and you fight back, the likelihood is that you'll get charged and they'll walk.
And you just have to look at the differences between what's happened in Portland, where Antifa are regularly getting charges dismissed, versus what happened in the Capitol, when MAGA grannies wandering around are getting charged with everything in their story, right?
So if you're a store owner and the trouble comes to you and insurance is expensive.
I've seen fights go bad real fast.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
How would you help someone who stutters?
I stutter a little bit and my sister struggles as well.
I don't know if it's physiological, when you'd need a speech therapist, but I would look at whether you have a resistance to speaking.
In other words, were you punished for speaking the truth or for speaking your mind when you were younger?
So what happened in YouTube?
They cut you out with no reason.
Yes, they did. They certainly did.
No warnings, no strikes, no nothing, right?
Not worth fighting. Are you a man or a mouse?
Put some cheese in front of me and we will find out.
Okay, that's rather ranting. Nobody's brain damaging me in some cringe fist fight.
Oh yeah, can you imagine? So people who are really interested in starting fights, I know you guys aren't talking about, people who are really interested, they're low IQ people.
They're low IQ people.
Do you think I'm going to put the treasure of my brain at the mercy of some guy with an IQ of 90 and have him lop off 20 points of IQ from my top?
I don't think so.
There's a funny video online where a guy starts fights, then pulls down his pants and the guys run away.
When you're cornered and have to fight for life or property skills and guns are useful.
Well, you could.
See, you could spend a couple of thousand hours learning how to and learning the law and learning how to fight.
Or what you could do is you could spend, I don't know, a couple of dozen hours learning Bitcoin and the blockchain, learning how to invest and then move to a neighborhood where people don't fight.
Or a gated neighborhood or, you know, come on, man.
There's tons of options in life.
Street fight videos are terrifying.
People slammed upside down on their head.
Oh, yeah. Oh, absolutely.
Oh, my God. Now it's brutal.
What about after the Western fiat currency collapses?
Don't we need physical prowess?
Survival won't be so easy then.
Or you can invest in Bitcoin and other things and you can end up getting to a place where it's safer.
Let's see here.
Jesse Lee Peterson has some extreme conclusions about forgiveness.
Yes, that is correct.
Do you think Trump's social media site will succeed?
I don't know what your definition of succeed is.
I mean, Trump seems to be pretty keen on defining success as that which makes him money, with the exception of the presidency, of course.
So, yeah, Bitcoin is on sale today, right?
Bitcoin is down, down, down, baby.
$66,649.52.
Do you know, in the US, do you remember how many weeks it's been since Bitcoin was 20k?
Anybody? Does anybody...
Remember how many weeks it's been since Bitcoin was only 20k?
Because people are like, oh my god, Bitcoin is down.
It's down three grand in 24 hours.
Yeah, that's down. But it's only been 14 weeks since Bitcoin was 20k.
It's only been 14 weeks since Bitcoin was $20,000 and people are saying it's down.
Are you kidding me? Look at the six months for Bitcoin.
It's six months for Bitcoin.
People are like, oh, it's down.
Oh, my God. It's so funny.
I still stick by 100K by the summer.
That's my prediction.
All right. So just wanted to point that out.
I have certainly other things to chat about, but if you guys want to talk, I'm happy to do that.
If you have verbal questions, I've tried to sort of balance the audio here.
So let me start up my, let me just ask people if they have questions here.
Voice questions here.
Sorry, I've got voice questions here.
Let me see. I'm just trying to figure out, I just did this too.
And now can I remember it?
I certainly can't, but I'm sure I will find it.
Ah, there we go. No, no, that's voice dictation in here.
It's somewhere around.
It's somewhere around.
I'm not a Christian, but my friend keeps asking me to go to church.
I don't see many good ways to make friends with or meet women.
Should I go? I think so.
Yeah, I think so. It's better to have somebody with the right values and the wrong methodology than the wrong values and the wrong methodology.
Alright, let me just go here.
Sorry, I just should remember how to do this.
Yet somehow, I just plain don't.
So let me just get this sorted out.
It's not the most user-friendly site in the known universe.
But we will find it.
We will find it, I tell you, my friends.
we will find a way to get the telegram chat going.
All right, somewhere in here.
Boy, there's lots of managed groups here.
Does anybody know how to do it?
Anybody? Anybody remember how to do it?
It would go higher even than 100k.
Don't be a fool. Oh, do you mean by the summer?
Or some other time?
Ah, start voice chat.
ass.
Dun, dun, dun.
All right.
So if you are, you are live.
Alright, so if you are on the Telegram and you wanted to give me a chitty-chatty bing-bang, please do.
Do so, if you dare.
Do so if you dare.
All right.
So I'll just wait for somebody to drop in.
We've started that.
Where's everyone gone?
Did everyone go over to the livestream channel?
By the way, by the way, is there anyone here who has worked much with the app Sphinx?
It's a chat app.
It's a voice and video chat app that runs on the Lightning Network on blockchain, and it also allows podcasters to receive scraps of Satoshi for people listening to the shows.
So if anybody has, that would be interesting.
Interesting. All right.
Biden is bull for Bitcoin.
Oh, yeah. The Biden booth for Bitcoin is not to be underestimated.
Not to be under... It's a pretty good...
It's a pretty good consolation prize for a truly hinky election, right?
Wouldn't you say? Wouldn't you say?
I think it is. I think it is.
All right. So who's in here?
Um... If you want to unmute yourself with a couple of people in the voice chat, if you want to unmute yourself, you've got questions, issues, comments.
If you wanted also to, if the person who wanted to talk about stuttering, I'm happy to talk about that, if that helps.
And let me just... Yo, what's up?
Hey, how's it going, man? Hello.
You were there and now you're not.
Who? Yes, who just said who?
Go for it. Oh, me.
Censor Anon. All right.
Nice to meet you. What's on your mind, brother?
Oh, actually, I didn't have anything in particular in my mind right now.
Oh, actually, you know, I wrote a script on Marilyn Manson recently.
Have you ever had a chance to look at that guy?
Oh, my God.
I mean, so Marilyn Manson is a shock rocker, a goth rocker.
Now, you look at this guy, and he looks like somebody turned a space alien into a hemorrhoid ointment.
And it really is absolutely brutal and appalling.
Turns out, not so funny story, he's now being accused of unbelievable levels of toxic violence and abuse and degradation.
In his relationships, to which one can only look at a picture of the guy and say, well, fucking duh.
Like the guy could not advertise what a horrible human being is and how dysfunctional.
He could not advertise more than that.
If he set himself on fire and currently chewed on a Wuhan bat in front of a group of school children.
Yeah, okay, he's quite intelligent.
Why do I care, right? Yeah, Alice Cooper goes to Marilyn Manson and says, oh really?
You're using eyeliner and a female name?
Wow, that's totally original, man.
He hides behind the, you know, the it's just art bro argument, but that doesn't stand up when people point out the morally reprehensible nature of his work.
I've no idea what his music is like.
I have no idea what he does musically, although I'm pretty sure that it's pretty appalling, but Yeah, so people are like, you know, I got involved with this unbelievably dysfunctional guy who wears, you know, black lipstick and, you know, skull death face paint and eyeliner.
And, you know, turns out he was a bit of an oddball.
It's like, oh, my God.
Well, yeah, maybe he's tall.
Maybe he's tall and that's what does it for the ladies.
I think he's like 6'1".
He's like 6'1 or something like that.
Well, and wealthy and famous.
And this is what, to go back to Tom Likas, right?
Tom Likas used to talk about this because Tom Likas, he was the first guy to admit he looked like two and a half miles of bad road, like he was overweight, he was bald.
And he said, yeah, but I'm wealthy and I'm famous.
And he could get, I think he was into Latina women, but he said, yeah, I can get a different woman every night.
No problem. No problem whatsoever.
So, yeah, so what are your thoughts on old, oh, plus, he calls himself voluntarily by the last name of a serial killer.
I mean, my God! It's like the band Bing Hitler.
You know, it's like the guy, he completely advertises that he's completely psycho.
He voluntarily takes the name of a serial killer and then people are like, you know what?
He was abusive.
I'm like, how on earth can I help you with that?
That's just too bizarre. But sorry, go ahead.
No, exactly, yeah. He called himself Marilyn Manson because Marilyn, I believe, he was named himself after Marilyn Monroe.
And then Manson, yeah, after the serial killer, his whole idea was he wanted to do the opposites or something like that.
But even then, Marilyn Monroe wasn't that much better off.
But my whole thing about Marilyn Manson was that Like, I wrote a script called Inflicting Your Trauma on the World, right?
Yeah. And it's basically where I kind of like go back into his history because, you know, there's a lot of people that are huge fans of Marilyn Manson, but they don't know like this pivotal aspect of his entire life.
And that's when he was a child, he was like repeatedly sexually molested by a neighbor of his, a male neighbor.
Well, of course he was.
And I don't say that with any contempt.
I mean, I don't think he's dealing very well with his trauma, to put it that mildly.
But I can completely understand that that's what happened.
Yeah, yeah. And because of this reason, right, he was raised in a religious environment with parents who call themselves Christians.
And, you know, I say that call themselves Christians because I don't really think that if you put your child in a situation where, you know, they're vulnerable to this kind of attack, then they're not really good Christian parents, are they?
No, they're not. And do you know if his parents were married or separated?
They were married, yes.
But his dad was a traveling salesman.
He had a bad enough relationship with his parents that the pedophile or pedophiles knew for sure that he wasn't going to run and tell them and that the pedophile wasn't going to go to jail.
Because every time a pedophile acts on their evil lusts, they're taking their life into their hands.
Because if they pick the wrong child and the child runs to the parents, tells what happened, the parents go to the cops, the pedophile goes to jail, the pedophile is likely to die in jail, right?
They get killed, right? Jeffrey Dahmer had very nice parents and a pleasant childhood.
Go figure. If you believe a guy who literally cannibalizes strangers he finds on the street, chews them up and spits them out, and you believe what he says about his childhood, I don't know how to help you.
I've got to tell you, if you're a literal cannibal, the odds of you telling the truth about your childhood...
Pretty low. I mean, come on, man.
Yeah, precisely. You know what's crazy about me is that he, like, in all of his interviews, in a lot of his interviews, in a lot of his, like, documentaries, he always goes on about how he's, like, rebelling against the system.
He's going to fight against the system.
Yet he won't do the simplest thing in the world, and that's call out his parents.
Because later in his life, he came back to his dad, back to his mom, and basically praised them, loved them, Quote, unquote, love them, worship them, and protected them from the very contempt that they absolutely needed.
The judgment that he poured all over Western culture, all over the church, all over religion, he wouldn't pour that on his parents.
That responsibility belonged to them.
That is very true.
And so, as of the latest that I've seen, at least 15 women, including the actor Evan Rachel Wood, have made accusations against Marilyn Mansell that include sexual assault and psychological abuse.
And his real name is Brian Warner.
Correct. The pair met in 2006 when she was 18 and he was 36.
Hey, still better than Woody Allen.
They dated on and off until 2010.
And, yeah, she's just accusing him of the most horrendous stuff, and that seems...
I hate to say sort of par for the course, but just look at the guy.
Come on. It's not surprising he throws out all these warning signs.
He seems to have become what he despised.
He seems to have grown into the persona of abuse that harmed him as a child.
And part of his sadism is to praise his parents.
Because when you look at the guy, you say, holy crap, that's a monstrously bad childhood.
It's the same thing that Jeffrey Dahmer did when Jeffrey Dahmer was talking about How great his parents were, it's to make the world incomprehensible.
Because if Marilyn Manson says, oh yeah, I was sexually abused as a child, and you say that's what happened, and I believe you for that, right?
If he says, oh yeah, I was sexually abused as a child, and I'm failing to deal with this agony, well, first of all, he'd be a lot healthier as a human being because he'd actually tell the fucking truth.
but also the world would be comprehensible to people, right?
And if you look at someone like Jim Morrison, Jim Morrison, you know, famously accused of flashing his genitals and a famous man whore and a drug addict and an alcoholic and someone, it's like, well, yeah, he was sexually abused as a child and his mother did nothing.
Look at Marilyn Monroe.
We've got Marilyn Manson, Marilyn Monroe.
She had this persona of the sex part that she just turned on and off and She had terrible health issues, terrible personal hygiene, and she herself was sexually abused as a child.
She was bounced from foster home to foster home to orphanage, sexually abused brutally, went to the woman whose house she was staying in.
The woman did nothing about it.
So yeah, there's a lot of anger towards society, and I understand that anger for sure, for sure.
Can you imagine being surrounded by tons and tons of people, being sent to a Christian school, and then the top thing that you're being told is basically completely irrelevant to you?
Stop listening to rock music.
That stuff's bad for you.
But you've just been molested, so it's kind of like a screwed up situation to be in.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, of course he is a disturbed and, you know, by these reports, violent and abusive individual.
I mean, how on earth is that not obvious from his music and his...
Like, how have we literally got...
Like, we've got tigers in the house and everybody thinks that they're kittens.
Like, literally, the guy is completely and blatantly advertising how unbelievably screwed up he is.
And then women get involved with the guy and it's like, wow, it turns out he's pretty toxic.
These people have a death wish.
They have a death wish. They get involved with people that they know that are going to be bad for them and they choose to overlook these extremely negative qualities Because, I don't know, they've just been taught not to see in front past their own nose.
That's what it seems like to me. Well, it's also hypergamy, right?
Because they get a lot of secondary ego gratification from being with a rich, famous guy and all of that.
Somebody's reminded, didn't Steph say before, that anger at the system is often anger for authority figures that you don't want to confront?
Yeah, yeah, for sure. For sure.
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
And here's another thing that's crazy about Marilyn Manson is that I actually heard a lot of this stuff from interviews that he's given.
This is where I heard that he was sexually molested by a neighbor because this is based on interviews I've given.
But if you go to his Wikipedia page, or there's even something called the Manson Wiki, right?
And you look in his early life, there's no mention of childhood sexual trauma.
But there is mention, like, where he's actually mentioned it himself in a few interviews.
Like, there's an interview by The Guardian in 2007 where he mentions it.
Right. No, I get all of that for sure.
And they don't... I mean, Wikipedia, if they have any possibility to...
If they have any possibility to say something useful and helpful, they will...
Absolutely avoid that like crazy.
And I mean, if you look at the people who founded Wikipedia and some of the early activity of Wikipedia with regards to childhood exploitation images and so on, it's not particularly good.
Not particularly. Not particularly.
Of course. Of course.
And if you're interested in seeing some of my sources, I actually did make this video called Inflicting Your Trauma on the World, in which I do talk about Marilyn Manson.
And it's on my channel, Censored and on the same name.
All right. I appreciate that.
Thank you. What's in the background?
Some budgies? Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm outside. No, no, it's fine. I like it.
When I was a teenager, I named her Laura after the girl in Tennessee Williams' play, Glass Menagerie.
No, I love the sound.
I think it's nice. It's a long way from Canada, so I appreciate that.
I'm surprised you can identify the bird so easily.
Well, as I said, I had one, so they're lovely.
All right. Anything else that you wanted to mention?
Yeah, if you want to shoot me some sources, I think that'd be great, if you don't mind.
Yeah, sure. I guess I would have to send them through the email, wouldn't I? Yeah, yeah.
Operations at freedomain.com.
Sure, I can do that.
I'll also send you a link to the video that I made.
Appreciate it. Appreciate it. Thanks.
So somebody's asked me, have I talked about Elon selling Teslas with Bitcoin already?
Yeah. So Elon Musk is selling Teslas for Bitcoin.
And not only is he selling Teslas for Bitcoin, he's not even converting the fiat currency or the cuck bucks into...
He's not converting the Bitcoin into fiat.
He's actually got his open source, the servers, the nodes, the processors.
And if you buy a Tesla with Bitcoin, he's keeping the Bitcoin.
He's not transferring it.
He doesn't need to, right? He doesn't need to transfer it to cash.
So I think that's... That's pretty wild.
Since we're on Bitcoin-y stuff, a couple of things.
Bitcoin detractors sometimes note that 65% of Bitcoin is mined in China.
If 65% of Bitcoin mining being done in China is a problem, how should we think about the fact that 70 plus percent of the world's container ship port capacity is in China?
Pretty funny, right? So, Elon Musk has signaled to every other CEO that he has more faith in Bitcoin than the US dollar, and I don't know who's selling right now.
I assume it's short-term holders, but that's pretty wild.
There's a big COVID-19 baby bust.
I talked about this some, oh gosh, quite a long time ago.
The number of babies born...
Sorry, the number of babies not born, I believe, is vastly higher than the number of old people who've died.
And that means a huge net reduction in person years of life.
So miners are holding more than they're selling in Bitcoin.
So the miners are holding more than they're selling, of course, because they're expecting it to go up.
Check out Breeze Tech, also very, very important.
But we've got a $3 trillion bill.
Biden's putting out a $3 trillion, what is it, some sort of infrastructure bill, right, which is just pork for unions, right?
So it's a $3 trillion bill incoming.
Now, $3 trillion stimulus package is three times Bitcoin's entire market cap.
So that's pretty...
Last March or last April, I was talking about how we needed to open back up from lockdowns because the...
The human toll of not having preventive medical care was going to be far higher than the toll of COVID. And I think that's pretty important.
And it has been incredibly brutal.
It has been incredibly brutal.
And let's have a look at some of this stuff, right?
Significant declines in all cancer types.
Right? So, cancer patients have gone down because people aren't getting tested, right?
People aren't getting sorted out.
And let me just see if I can find the numbers here.
I did find them, but I didn't extract them.
I'm sorry about that, but...
There has been like a massive reduction in cancer detection and there will of course be a cancer brutality that's going to be coming down the road when people find the effects of all of this go on further.
It's just going to be unbelievably horrifying.
And you've had like 80 to 90% reduction in screenings for some kinds of cancers over the last year.
And oh my god.
I mean, it's going to just be absolutely appalling, the way that things are going to play out.
So, yeah, those numbers...
But you see, it's kind of...
75% decrease in suspected cancer referrals in the UK. Unbelievable.
Unbelievably horrifying.
City of Miami Mayor says he's talked with local utility companies about offering Bitcoin mining incentives.
Who is selling Bitcoin one week before Morgan Stanley finally offers it to their $5 trillion of capital that's been demanding access to Bitcoin?
Just crazy.
Jay Powell, the chair of the Federal Reserve, said Bitcoin is a substitute for gold.
And the fact that he's talking about both tells you that he understands the effects of his policies in the long time.
China and Russia discussing moving to alternatives to the US dollar as a reserve currency.
And I can guarantee you that they're looking at Bitcoin for sure.
And the 15th century bank, the Medici bank, is getting a 21st century relaunch and also will serve crypto firms.
Quite interesting.
Quite interesting. So COVID has killed fewer people in the U.S. than die on average annually of heart attacks.
Because America is a clinically obese society verging on morbidly obese.
Almost 50% of Americans are obese.
So heart disease kills almost 660,000 people each year.
Maybe more. I mean, it's tough to know.
The data is kind of conflicting, but...
COVID has killed fewer people in the U.S. than die on average annually of heart attacks.
And remember, if you're significantly overweight, you're 10 times more likely to die of COVID. In other words, COVID is a pandemic for the old with comorbidities and the obese.
If you are of... Reasonable health and reasonable weight.
There's no death-dealing pandemic for you whatsoever.
And of course, if you were China, let's just say theoretically you wanted to design a bioweapon that targeted the West, you'd have it target fat people and old people, but in particular fat people.
So that's kind of important, right?
And of course, what happens, right?
Increased weight makes you much more susceptible to COVID, serious complications or death from COVID, right?
And let's just ask this of the audience, right?
We'll get back to the chats in a sec, right?
But let me just ask you this of the audience.
What percentage of Americans have reported undecided weight gain over the last year, like over the COVID lockdown thing, right?
What percentage of Americans have said this, right?
Just give me your guess if you know, right?
It's crazy. 69%, 60%, 50%, 89% plus 40%, 60, 69.
So yeah, I mean, that's reported.
You're probably close, I think, but 42% of Americans have reported undesired weight gain during COVID. What's the average weight gain, my friends?
What's the average weight gain?
And remember, you know, people are often shorter and all that, and we're talking women as well.
What is the average weight gain in COVID of the people who've gained weight?
What is the average weight gain, do you think?
40 pounds? 20 pounds?
30 kilograms? 41 pounds?
23 pounds? 30 pounds?
Who cares? Aren't there more important things?
No, it's pretty important, man.
It's pretty important. So the average weight gain is 29 pounds.
29 pounds!
For millennials, it's 41 pounds.
41 pounds.
So, this is how crazy government is, right?
And all of this unbelievably horrifying stuff is.
This is how nutty this stuff is.
So, look, the COVID control freaks are funded by Big Pharma.
Let's not kid ourselves about that, right?
So, what do they do? Well, they shut down gyms, they canceled kids' sports, they basically placed people under house arrest, and they made people incredibly terrified, anxious, and depressed.
So now, Americans have gained weight, and I can virtually guarantee you, statistically, with the lack of cancer screening, the increased weight, the lack of exercise, people's bones have gotten brittle, people's joints have gotten rusty.
You know, like, if you want to keep your knees healthy, you've got to walk every day, and, like, not just walk around the house.
You've got to go for a brisk walk every day.
That keeps your knees oiled and good, right?
And, you know, people's posture is probably shot and the musculoskeletal system is, I mean, they might as well have been in space for half the year, right?
So everything that they did has people incredibly susceptible to COVID. I mean, it is just, just crazy.
Just crazy. All right. So here, I was here to talk with you and I'm happy to do so.
Let me just bring this up. If you are on The chat in Telegram and you want to talk, man, just unmute and bellow in my brain.
Just unmute and bellow in my brain.
I'm happy to hear.
The Bitcoin network is going to do nearly 50% of the transaction volume of Visa this year.
Isn't that wild? I hear sounds.
Is there anybody? Yeah, it's me again.
Yes, sir. Did you ever hear of the whole super straight phenomenon?
Super string? I dated...
No, super straight. Sorry?
Super straight. Oh, super straight.
Yeah, yeah, I've heard of that. I think it's hilarious.
I think it's absolutely delightful.
I think it's absolutely delightful. It was, wasn't it?
It was a great way of twisting their logic.
Go ahead and explain it to the people who don't know it.
Yeah, no problem. So, super straight is basically a sexuality that was invented to say that if you are a biological male or a biological female, then you're only attracted to somebody of the biological other sex.
So, biological male, only attracted to biological female, and vice versa.
Super straight. Yep.
I think it's great.
Now, tell me the reasons behind why it was invented in your view and what it's doing.
So the reason that it was invented was because you have a lot of these.
It seems to have been invented by a young man who was in high school, and he gets assaulted with these questions where the girls are like, well, if you won't date a trans person, that means that you're transphobic.
So in order to avoid being continuously accused of being transphobic, he just decided, okay, I'm going to make this up.
I'm going to say, okay, if you can invent a new sexuality all the time, I can also invent a new sexuality.
And so thus, Super Straight was born.
And ever since then, it's caused a lot of heads to start spinning.
Make people live up to their own rules.
So if you want to date a transvestite, that means you're transphobic.
Then if a lesbian won't date super straight, it means because she's straight phobic, right?
I mean, this is just making people live up to their own rules.
And that way, they see that the rules probably don't make quite as much logical sense as they were hoping it would.
I think it's beyond trawling in a way because it is just looking for consistency in people's arguments and finding that that consistency is massively...
And how dare you denigrate me or speak down or insult my sexual orientation of being super straight?
I think it's great.
I think it's great. Exactly. I think what has surprised me the most is that actually young...
Young men and young women are being assaulted with these kinds of questions in school nowadays.
Because it's just like in the last five or ten years that this stuff has gone into the mainstream to the point where you have even people, kids in grade school, thinking about this as a serious question.
It's just bizarre.
Well, I've got to tell you, this is sort of my basic.
Anybody who wants to talk to junior high school students about sex, is a complete fucking creep who should be kept as far away from children as humanly possible.
I find it absolutely repulsive that sexual topics are being taught in schools.
I think it's absolutely just completely appalling.
It should be that this is the job of the parents, the community, and so on.
Right, and we absolutely know that parents aren't doing their jobs.
Parents aren't doing their jobs.
The public schools, they're not doing their jobs.
They just kind of want to radicalize the children into being sexual from an early age because that's a fairly easy way of maintaining control of them.
Because if you're constantly distracted by your sexual impulses and giving into those sexual impulses or being distracted with them all the time, then you can't really make a good life for yourself.
I think you've touched on this before.
Have you heard of Benjamin Levin?
Benjamin Levin?
No, I've heard of Lumbito Domini.
Alright, so Benjamin Levin was born in 1952 into a Jewish family in a suburb of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
A BA from the University of Manitoba, a Master's in Education from Harvard University, an honorary doctorate from the University of Ottawa.
As a civil servant, he first served for the province of Manitoba as Deputy Minister of Advanced Education and as Deputy Minister of Education, Training, and Youth from 1999 through 2002.
He then served as the Deputy Minister of Education for the province of Ontario for the three years, 2004 to 2007 and again from 2008 to 2009, under the Liberal Party-led government.
He's published eight books, including Making a Difference in Urban Schools, More High School Graduates, and Breaking Barriers, and more than 200 other articles on education conducting many research studies.
He's spoken and consulted on education issues around the world, including serving on the Governing Council of the National College for School Leadership in England.
He was Academic Director for Ontario's new Knowledge Network for Applied Education Research, funded by the Ministry of Education to improve the sharing of research findings and their use in policy and practice.
The government of Ontario did suspend him in July of 2013 because he was arrested on child pornography charges.
Wow. Yeah.
July 8, 2013, Levin was arrested by the Toronto Police Service Sex Crimes Unit and charged with seven counts of child exploitation, including charges of possession and accessing child pornography.
He had been a suspect of the police service since mid-2012.
He was released on a $100,000...
Bail. According to the letter sent by Levin to his former colleagues, he would, quote, be pleading guilty on March 3, 2015, to three of the seven charges, namely one count of possession of child pornography, one count of making written child pornography, and one count of counseling a sexual assault.
I don't know what the hell that means. It sounds like the people who are really invested in trying to get to children, especially in the government schools, they do turn out to be...
As well, the judge noted that though Levin didn't plead guilty to this offense, he unquestionably also distributed child pornography, including sending various images to the undercover officers who were investigating him.
So, the judge unquestionably says, the judge noted that he unquestionably distributed child pornography.
He pleaded guilty to three of the seven charges.
How much time do you think he spent in jail before being paroled?
Let me guess, about five months?
Yeah, he was sentenced to three years in prison, but he only spent three months of his sentence in jail before being paroled.
Now, this is a big guy.
He was listed in the Who's Who of Canada and was ranked in the fifth most influential knowledge mobilization leader in Canada.
He was awarded the Canadian Education Association's Whitworth Award for contributions to education research.
He received the Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba's Medal for Service to Public Administration.
In 2010, he was named Outstanding Educator of the Year by Fire Delta Kappa's Toronto Chapter.
In 2012, he was awarded one of four Max Bell Foundation National Awards in Canada for innovation ideas.
Now, he floated all the way through the top levels.
He designed curricula, he educated, he wrote books, and...
Apparently nobody can figure out...
This guy! Nobody can figure out!
This guy, he doesn't give anybody any creep vibes, and these are the people in charge of educating your children.
They can't even... They know what's right for your children, but they couldn't identify this guy!
They're no idea. No idea.
It sounds like they're completely insane.
Well, you want to put your hands in these people's...
You want to put your kids in these people's hands?
Fucking crazy. This is why homeschooling is the best thing that you can do for your children.
Well, it's the best like there's some second best thing.
Well, true. There is nothing really better that you could do because putting them in the private schools puts them in danger.
Putting them in public schools puts them in danger.
If you let your child go spend the night at a friend's house overnight, you're putting him in danger.
Well, no. If you have a good judge of character and you've known the people and you know the kids, I think it's fine.
Oh, true. This is relying on the idea that you are a good judge of character, yes.
Yes, yes. Do you let your daughter use Instagram?
I do not. Did you hear that they're coming up with a kid's version of Instagram?
I have heard of that. I have heard of that.
Somebody says, I remember 8th grade sex ed class watching a video of the inside of a vagina.
So in the sex class that I remember being forced to take, I actually got nauseous and I had to get up and leave the room because they were talking about a woman who tried to fix crabs with Lysol and fused her labia together or something like that.
They melted the labia together and I was like, what the fuck are you people telling me about?
What the hell is wrong with you people?
What kind of unbelievable shitstorm of psychosis am I trapped in in this fucking nightmare of a quasi-education system that I'm hearing about women melting their labias together by trying to deal with crabs or something like that.
And I just got up and walked out.
I literally felt physically sick.
I just wanted to have nothing to do with anything that they were saying.
And holy shit, it's just unbelievable.
It sounds like they're trying to push to the forefront the most obscure and aberrant sexual behaviors And make them well known to a child's mind.
Yeah, I don't know. It's very abusive, I think.
Have you heard? Who sits there and says, I want to, you know, you've got kids, young kids now being taught about things like masturbation and sex acts of various kinds.
You've got, you know, Teen Vogue talking about the joys of anal sex and it's just like, oh, what the hell is wrong with you people?
I mean, I know it's our selected genes trying to reproduce themselves by hypersexualizing children, but it's like, oh my god.
What a monstrous thing.
Can you imagine? Some neighbor says, you know, I really want to teach your kids sex.
And you'd be like, get away.
Like, just get away.
I'm going to use some lifestyle myself.
But, you know, teachers do it. And it's like, yeah, yeah, that's totally fine.
That's normal. That's fine.
You know, it's like people go after the Catholic Church all the time and say that, oh, the Catholic Church has a lot of pedophile Catholic priests in it.
But... Public school teachers are molesting kids on a higher than average basis than, well, Catholic priests ever have.
Right. Somebody says, what's the recent fascination with transsexuals?
It's just, it's anti-Christians, trawling Christians.
That's about it. Sorry, Jenny?
Okay, sorry. I'm just going to see if there's anybody else.
I really appreciate your chat. I just wanted to see if there's anybody else who wants to jump in.
And I am going to hear these bird noises until the end of time.
So if there's anybody else who wants to jump in, let me know if you need the...
Let's see here.
Let me see if you need...
Oh, share invite link.
Okay, so I'll just throw this in here.
If anybody wants to jump in, I'm happy to take...
Voice chats as well.
well.
I kind of like it relative to just, you know, plain old, uh, texty text.
So, uh, somebody says, um, tell me more about the new vaccine stuff.
Yeah, I don't know. I think it was a guy from Dutch, from Holland, I guess, a Dutch guy who was talking about...
And I mentioned this in the last live stream, so I'll just touch on it briefly here.
But he said the sort of big danger is that if you...
If you apply a vaccine in the middle of a pandemic, you're simply training the virus to mutate and evade it, and that's where you're going to get more and more variants from.
And the second thing is that if you take our natural, like we've been living with coronaviruses as long as we've been around, like life for billions of years, have been living with coronavirus, we've got a pretty sophisticated mechanism for dealing with them.
But when you inject a big, powerful, artificial coronavirus fighting agent like the COVID vaccine, Then what can happen and what has happened in the past to cats and ferrets and other animals that they've tested these coronavirus vaccines on is that, you know, there's a basic thing that if your body senses the production of too much, it stops producing whatever it is yourself.
Like if you've got too much dopamine from cocaine or something like that, your body will pull back on it, which is why the crash is so hard.
And he says that, and I'm paraphrasing here, so go look it up yourself, of course, right?
I'm not a doctor, of course.
But he says that...
If you put a big artificial, specific to COVID-19 coronavirus fighter in the system, your body stops producing your natural coronavirus defense system.
And then when you hit another coronavirus that escapes this big artificial mechanism you've got in your system, that the other coronavirus can overwhelm you pretty quickly.
And that can be dangerous.
Certainly with the ferrets, when the ferrets were immunized against a particular coronavirus, when they hit another coronavirus, they really didn't do very well at all.
They really didn't do very well at all.
Ah, thehighwire.com.
Yeah, I think, yeah, the coming COVID catastrophe, it's pretty important.
And, and, uh, my contact, one of my contacts in Hong Kong, uh, has, uh, let's see here.
What did he say to me?
Um, uh, Hong Kong has halted the Pfizer vaccination.
That's, it seems, because, you know, we've all told about this, the AstraZeneca one is a problem, right?
Yeah. So Hong Kong has halted Pfizer vaccinations after finding more than 50 defects like cracked vials.
And Pfizer and Moderna have been largely quiet since competitor AstraZeneca became embroiled in the latest and biggest safety scandal to rock public confidence in the company's COVID-19 jab, which has been intended to be a workhorse of the WHO's global vaccination campaign since it's cheap and relatively easy to transport and store.
But Pfizer at least might soon have to deal with a problem of its own because the South China Morning Post reported Wednesday, today, that they had suspended vaccinations using the Pfizer BioNTech after local frontline staff discovered more than 50 instances of defective packaging like cracked and leaking vials.
So, I don't know, man.
I'm going to need a whole lot more data.
Weird how the virus just happened to start in a wet market in the only city in China with a level 4 virology lab.
Oh, yeah. I mean, come on.
The idea that this evolved from nature and jumped with no intermediaries.
I mean, come on. It's ridiculous.
It's ridiculous.
And the wet market theory has been, I think, falsified.
So, yeah, it's pretty bad.
The vaccine hasn't had any long-term studies.
Any long-term predictions on how that can play out?
No. Listen, I mean, I'm a philosopher.
So, you know, don't ask me for long-term predictions on...
On vaccine, but it is an experimental biological agent.
And yeah, that's not great.
Thoughts on Erdogan in Cyprus.
So yeah, Turkish dollar is crashing pretty hard, particularly against Bitcoin, of course, right?
Virus likely originated in the States, somebody says.
It pushed the left-wing agenda too much and there are no coincidences.
Maybe. Maybe.
Yeah, I mean, there's a bunch of people.
It's not just me, but I mean, I made this case.
The case against China.
I did that video before I was even kicked from YouTube.
And, uh, uh, there's lots of people, uh, former heads of security and so on who, who are very much on the, uh, it's a gain of function research gone wrong or right or something like that.
So, okay.
Uh, one last chance. Um, I'm happy to hear, uh, if you want to unmute yourself and chat on, um, Yeah, I'm happy.
You've got criticism, comments, issues, whatever's on your mind, I'm happy to hear.
Otherwise, of course, I have a couple other things that I could chat about, if you like.
Freedomainnft.com. Freedomainnft.com.
My first collectibles are out.
And, you know, a bit of the history of philosophy would be pretty cool.
Pretty cool. A guy named Dave Karpf, who's an associate professor at George Washington University.
He said, thought experiment, what if you put all the Bitcoin enthusiasts on a ship and the ship sank?
Yeah. It's pretty tough, you know, when unjust power sees Bitcoin.
They really do understand where their needs are.
Ann Coulter tweeted, the University of Chicago did a massive study on sex in America and found that conservative Protestant women experience sexual satisfaction far more often than any other religious demographic.
You know, it's kind of true, you know, a lot of times there's a couple of things when you see a really sexy woman, like physically just sexy, sexy woman.
There are a couple of issues that you need to deal with.
These are generalities, completely generalities, so just understand that, right?
So first of all, the more attractive she is, the more likely that she was sexually preyed on as a child, right?
Because the pedophiles and the hebophiles look for the more attractive a woman, a girl, sorry, the more attractive a girl.
So that's not a certainty, but it certainly can be a real issue.
And also, she is probably addicted to being attractive, which means that she's going to have a pretty uneasy relationship with sex.
And that's...
When you've got that Jessica Rabbit caricature, it probably is not a very positive relationship with sex.
And also the thing that's, I think, very, very common, the more sex you have early on in a relationship, the less sex you're going to have later.
I mean, that's almost a guarantee.
It's almost a complete and total guarantee.
If you meet a woman and she fires the V-cannon at you and gets you into bed, she's trying to get you to bond with her on a sexual endorphin level because she doesn't feel attractive as a person.
If you fall for it, she'll hold you in contempt and sexual desire will just die.
And a woman who withholds sex at least three months is a basic self-respect thing.
A woman who withholds sex and wants to find out if you're there for her personality, you'll have a great sex life for the rest of your life because she's not feeling used.
But the earlier you get sex, you'll get this peak and then it'll be hell from there on in.
But if you wait and you're patient, then you'll have a great sex life for the rest of your life, probably so.
Just wanted to mention that. Somebody said, sell my Bitcoin?
You mean like back into hyperinflating cuck bucks?
Fuck no, hard pass. If you understand Bitcoin, you understand this.
I just love that phrase, cuck bucks, for fiat.
I think that's just a delightful phrase.
Young male virginity is on the rise.
Share of men under age 30 who report zero female sexual partners since they turned 18.
It's insanely high at the moment.
I just wanted to point that out. So 2008, it was 8%.
By 2018, it had arisen to 27%.
27% men under the age of 30.
Zero female sexual partners since they turned 18.
Guys, porn is not going to help you, man.
It's going to make it worse. It's going to make it worse.
The 20th Richards person in the world is now anonymous.
I think we talked about this before, right?
Satoshi Nakamoto.
It's just pretty wild. It's just pretty wild.
Survey of 74 U.S. school districts finds a 74% increase in mental health stress indicators, 90% disengagement slash absenteeism, and virtual students more likely to test than in person, and kids are one-tenth of 1% of COVID-19 deaths.
Crazy. Now, of course, for a lot of the schools, you can't fail anyone this year.
So why on earth would the kids work?
It's also an indication of how bad schools are that you can't get kids to engage if there's no threat of failure.
Spoiler, I'm not going to fail anyone.
There's no test after this conversation.
We're not going to fail anyone, but you're all still here because there's hopefully some value that's being provided.
All right. Let's see here.
What do we got here?
All right. What have we got here?
Favorite equation? E equals MC squared?
It's pretty obvious, right? It's pretty obvious.
Have you ever heard that men are supposed to stop having sex of any kind by 30 and use the energy to do other things?
Well, no. Aren't you talking about fapping or masturbation, that that's going to drain your energy?
And, you know, one of the reasons why the population is so apathetic about COVID is that people are just masturbating like monkeys on cocaine.
Like, people are masturbating, like, three times a day on average during the lockdown.
And some of them are saying, I've had my best orgasms ever.
It's like, yeah, it's fine, I guess.
But it's...
It's not going to get you any kids.
It's not going to get you any satisfaction or human touch or anything like that.
So I think you've got to, you know, a healthy sex life is very positive, good for your health, unless you live longer, reasonable exercise.
But anyway, so Lebanon's currency is collapsing as well.
Yeah, that's happening. Favorite podcasts?
Oh man, I really don't listen.
I'm sorry, like I spend so much time producing content.
I really don't listen to podcasts.
Although I will say on occasion, I will dip into, it's a fun podcast put out by two Very charismatic women and it's called Crime Junkies.
That's quite a lot of fun and occasionally Scott Adams can be good to go to sleep too because he's very relaxing, although you will have to speed him up a little.
Oh, freedomain.locals.com.
Just so you know, freedomain.locals.com.
I'm spending a lot more time there.
There's a welcome video. It's a way that you can come and help support me as well.
Like you can sign up for monthlies.
You can sign up for donations.
I'd really appreciate that, man.
At some point, I'll talk about the math of donations after deplatforming.
Oof. Oh my God, it's kind of rough.
Chat about the troll email from the other day.
What a great reminder, James.
Thank you so much. You are the best!
Hey, there's an asterisk there.
Many vaccines due to capitalism.
Not capitalism. Not capitalism.
I always love a good troll matter.
What is the best way to keep your Bitcoin information safe?
Yet be sure when you die, your Bitcoin doesn't die with you.
I would assume talk to a lawyer and get a will, right?
Get a will then. Cripping Bitcoin enthusiasts would be smart enough to fix the ship.
Yeah, very true. Very true.
I used to have great sex every freaking day.
It's been seven years now.
Man, I'm sorry about that.
First seasteading success in Thailand.
Oh, seasteading is a thing again?
I talked about that with a guy many years ago on my show.
Uh-huh. Interesting.
That might be worth a documentary.
What do you guys think? Do you envision UPB ever becoming mainstream?
Well, sure. I mean, look, philosophy advances one funeral at a time, like science, right?
In other words, the people invested in their current bullshit, moral garbage will have to usually die off because they're not going to admit they've been wrong about something as fundamental as ethics.
So it's going to be have to. Go forward.
Do you think that incels like Elliot Rodger have had any validity?
I don't know what you mean by validity.
I did a whole... It was very popular.
I did a whole presentation on Elliot Rodger back in the day.
It was very popular. You can go to fdrpodcast.com, fdrpodcast.com.
Look up Elliot Rodger.
The video will be right below.
Somebody says, we cannot hear you.
I do not believe that is true.
All right. Oh, yeah, I think I read this.
Somebody posted this from Fox Baltimore.
Student passes three classes in four years, ranks near top half of class with 0.13 GPA. Well, of course, right?
I mean, we're going to have to assume that maybe Baltimore could be a black neighborhood and so on.
And, you know, that's not really fair to compare, right?
Uh, Stefan, have you seen a film, A Monster Calls?
It's based on a children's book about how inability to accept truth about yourself can destroy you.
Uh, I have not seen it.
Stefan, I'm following you everywhere.
Please don't stop. I will not stop.
Will you read my letter?
L. Longtime donator.
Right here. Thank you so much.
I appreciate that. Um, I saw that Dunbar High School in Baltimore, a black school, used to be one of the best academically, now no one up to their level in math.
Yeah, so you have, look, trauma harms the brain.
I posted something from rt.com about how, you know, verbal abuse is incredibly damaging, about as damaging as physical abuse.
It harms the brain, it scars the brain, probably about as much as ideology.
And so, you know, black kids grow up with a lot of trauma.
Half of black girls are raped by black men before they reach the age of 18, according to some reports.
And it's a brutal, brutal situation.
So, yeah, it's rough. I quit Amazon Prime Video and started donating.
Thanks, Steph. Excellent.
Now Jeff Bezos is going to kill me.
Just kidding. No, he's not.
All right. If I was as horny in my middle age as I was in my 20s, I'm not sure I would be able to accomplish and succeed in my work.
Well, you see, horniness used to cause you to succeed in your work because you would have to get a lot of money, especially if you weren't tall, right?
Is it right that Steph has lost so many viewers?
I don't know what you mean by right.
I mean, it's a fact that I've lost 90% or more of my viewers.
Yes, that is a fact.
But remember, I'm mainly speaking to the future.
I mean, it's great to have a conversation with you guys, but my primary focus is the future, not now.
So I don't know if it's right or wrong.
It's just a fact.
And I just posted something today about how wonderful it is that that fact has occurred.
Do you think that Elliot Rodgers' anger towards women was valid?
What do you think? No, his anger towards women wasn't valid.
Because he was murdering people who hadn't harmed him.
I'm not saying he should murder people who had harmed him, but it seemed that his mother was pretty dark towards him.
Is it true that you dislike physicists because they don't engage in the market?
No, I don't dislike physicists because they don't engage in the market.
I dislike everybody who doesn't engage in the market.
There's no need to single out physicists.
What do you think about land purchases versus Bitcoin versus gold, considering increasing government size and control?
So Bitcoin is the safest thing from the government.
Land purchases can be easily reversed or taken over by socialists or communists.
Since LBJ's Great Society in its city illegitimacy rate went from 15% to 85%, we're sure.
Well, sure. So anything which separates children from the father, I assume, is simply pedophiles on the prowl.
That's just my assumption. Like, anybody who's like, oh, this program would be great, the intended effect or unintended effect or obvious consequence of this, and this was pointed out by J. Patrick Moynihan back in the 60s, is that there's going to be no fathers in the home.
Mothers are great at protecting children when children are babies and toddlers.
But certainly, come puberty, moms can't protect kids.
Only dads can do that. So anytime you want to separate fathers from their children, whether that's terrible divorce courts, whether that's pro-feminism, whether that's the welfare state, you name it, anytime you're getting fathers out of the home, I simply assume that your basic motivation is predatory in nature.
I mean, I'm not saying that's proven or anything, that's just my particular way of approach.
Conservatives just need to hodl And Gio having kids.
Keep on having kids? I don't know.
All other ideologies will die off without replication.
Oh, maybe. But they're trying to replicate themselves asexually, right?
Which is why...
So, to go back to Marilyn Manson's, right?
If the guy who called in was right about Marilyn Manson, terribly traumatized as a child.
So what he's doing is traumatizing other people to try and...
So the trauma replicates, right?
Like, your little toe is simply using you.
To make another little toe. It doesn't care about the rest of you.
The little toe just wants to make another little toe.
And trauma wants to replicate.
It wants to reproduce. You've got to think of trauma like mental genetics, right?
Our selected genes, promiscuous genes, abuse changes genetics, right?
So abuse tries to replicate itself.
Like if you look at homosexuality, homosexuals are disproportionately...
Um, in, in the realm of child abuse, like the realm of, of abusing children.
And that's because I think, I mean, certainly most of the gays I've ever talked to, and it's been quite a few, uh, they have, were sexually abused as children and it's a way of, of reproducing.
So, um, R-selected genes smash the K-selected structure that keeps children safe.
Children being in an unsafe environment promotes R-selected behavior, which tends to replicate R-selected genes in the long run.
Things are reproducing asexually in a lot of ways.
I'm a physicist that engages with the markets.
Well, great. Wonderful.
Let's see here.
What do you think about Spinoza?
Kind of romantic take on nature.
I don't know. I can't remember what his take on nature is.
It's been a long time since I've read him.
Is it true that all crypto and stocks can be considered pyramid schemes where the richest recruit bigger suckers to get rich?
No, neither of those is the case.
A pyramid scheme is a pyramid scheme, right?
That's a situation where you promise people returns that are paid for by recruiting new people and promising them returns, and the Ponzi scheme's They can't possibly sustain themselves mathematically.
What on earth does a man with funny character, but not tall, not model-looking, do define quality women?
Hasn't worked for me. I go out often.
So, I would say that if you want to define quality women, you have to become prominent in some manner, and it's pretty easy to do so through social media.
Maybe you become good at TikTok.
Maybe you become good on YouTube.
Maybe you become good on Instagram.
Maybe you post funny memes and people get to know you that way.
Just find some way to make yourself even marginally prominent because being even internet famous to a mild degree is quite exciting for women.
At what point do we walk away from the tire fire that is our government and upper echelon of humanity decision-making?
Sorry, that's too general a question.
You don't have to, I mean, involve yourself with the state as little as humanly possible.
I don't know much about the recent war between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Sorry. A survey showed Americans think that 30% of the population is gay because of TV and media depiction of so many gay people.
Yeah, listen, I mean, I understand why people want to be inclusive.
I understand that for sure.
And, um, but yeah, I mean, the number of gay people is much more than 30%.
It's in the low single digits.
Here's a question about the follower dilemma.
Is it possible that the new right, 5% slash alt-right, took your audience?
Well, sure. I mean, my audience was not declining until I started getting suppressed.
It wasn't like somebody swooped in and took my audience.
But my decision to eschew politics, to not pursue politics, has had obviously an effect on my audience.
The people who are still in the political matrix and believe that there's some sort of magical political solution post-Trump, they are, of course, paying people and supporting people who provide the pablum of that delusion.
It is a delusion. And they will come to that in time, and, you know, maybe they'll return.
So, all right, so should we close up?
Any last questions? Is it immoral to form a corporation?
Oh, God, no. Oh, no, given how crazy the...
Given how crazy the legal system is in most of Western countries, unfortunately, you kind of have to.
You kind of have to. I mean, there's a really sad thing, and I don't think a free market can solve this problem much.
But... So...
Just about the biggest, the biggest human motivator is fear.
And so if someone can get you to be scared, then they can get you interested in whatever it is they have.
So unfortunately, there's this constant, you know, one of the things that's really harming people's health.
I mean, people talk about obesity and bad diet and lack of exercise.
It's all very real. But I don't think people really...
They don't really process how incredibly damaging it is, all these fear porn, clickbait, we're doomed headlines that's out there.
We have a fight or flight mechanism that's designed...
In the minutes maximum, right?
You hear a stick in the woods break near you.
It's nighttime and you shine a flashlight and maybe you get attacked by a wolf or something and then you either win or the wolf wins and it takes maybe a couple of minutes max.
Like our fight or flight is designed to peak out at like a couple of minutes.
You give fight or flight to people for weeks and months and years, man, you're just burning them right out.
You are burning them out.
The cortisol is wearing them out.
It's like, you know, revving a car or trying to drive a car.
I mean, try biking in, what is it, a high gear?
Like the one that's easy to pedal going uphill.
You try biking the whole thing in high gear, even legs are going to fall off, right?
You've got to, you know, we have particular rhythms for life.
And those rhythms are completely interrupted because we can't not look at something that might be dangerous.
Like we can't. We can't not look at something that might be dangerous.
And this shock video, shock headline, we're doomed.
You know, this stuff, I mean, it burns people.
It's so bad for their health.
And yet we can't not look.
You know, we can't not look.
And so destroying people in slow motion for money is something that I don't know how the free market's going to solve it.
I don't know. Maybe the free market can solve that by teaching people proper risk assessment.
And by educating people about the dangers of constantly exposing yourself to fear porn all the time?
All the, we're doomed, we're, and if you can't do, look, if you're doomed, then you can do something about it, then you can act on it, right?
But this kind of slow motion, just wearing people out and wrecking their health for clicks and cash, it's pretty rough, man.
It's pretty rough. Yeah, 24-7 coronavirus mass shootings.
Was it the one in Boulder, Colorado, where everyone said it was a white guy until it turned out it was a Muslim Syrian immigrant, and then poof, he's gone, vanished, vanished.
And doomsayers are getting people into crypto.
So yes, that's the thing, right?
So this is, you know, I will talk about the dangers in the world and I'll say, well, here's a solution.
We've got a whole investment roundtable and all that kind of stuff, right?
So there's things that you can do, hopefully, that will help with regards to that.
But this idea that you're just scared all the time and there's nothing you can do about it.
I got an email from a therapist.
Offering handfuls of medication.
Just kidding.
So I got an email from a therapist and she was saying how appalling it is how terrified some of her patients are.
Just... She's like in a foreign country, so it's like all over the map.
I can't remember which country. Anyway, so, and she was just saying, like, there's so much fear out there.
People are terrified to go outside.
They're terrified of seeing someone without a mask.
Like, they believe that the air is full of death.
That breathing is death.
Socializing is death.
A hug is death. Human contact is death.
Going out is death. Ordering something in is death.
They're terrified.
What kind of sadists do we have out there?
Look, you all know, if you've been following me for a while, I was kind of scared of COVID when it first hit, because I thought it was engineered for mass slaughter.
It turned out it was just engineered to kill the economy, if it was engineered at all.
But you gotta...
Really limit yourself. It's a toxic substance.
The media as a whole. I hope I give you guys some hope, some positivity, some honesty, some good humor, some laughs.
Because, man, this constantly...
It is a sadistic...
It's a war against you, like this fear stuff and this, especially the fear you can't do anything about, this race-baiting stuff, this making us hate each other, all this stuff, this I'm not going to hire white people.
Like, that stuff, it's like a biological war against you.
It's just crazy.
It's crazy. Somebody says, good weather usually makes people more optimistic.
It could be the reason why crypto slash precious metals are down a bit at the moment.
Well, I mean, there are people who are into crypto for the short run, and there are people into crypto for the long run.
So, keep that beard going.
Actually, I just trimmed it today. I got so bored of the fear.
Yes, and other reasons why I didn't want to do politics anymore is just like, well, in the past, I could do something about politics.
I could make a case. I could change people's minds.
But, you know, when elections are this dishonest, and by dishonest, you know, I don't know about the vote stealing or anything like that.
I think there was certainly some. But, you know, Twitter suppressing the Washington Post story about the satanic contents of Hunter Biden's laptop, you know, right before the election and all this kind of stuff, or what was done to Brett Kavanaugh or what's not being done to Andrew Cuomo or whatever, like, my God.
If the Chinese did develop COVID as a weapon, they couldn't have done a better job.
Oh, that's right. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.
I mean, you remember seeing all of these videos of healthy Chinese people falling down in the streets?
I mean, I've heard reports that this actually came out of things that abandoned China, like Facebook, so it's just another sire and all of that.
What about the theory that men are being feminized to prevent future wars?
Well, men aren't being feminized in China.
They're actually trying to get...
Was it New York Post?
New York Post story. Sorry, not Washington Post.
New York Post story. Thanks. I always get that wrong.
Appreciate that. No, they're actually masculinizing up their men quite a bit.
Quite a bit. And, you know, look, a lot of the elites are kind of into depopulation, right?
A lot of them believe that, you know, we'd be better off with 500 million people.
That's a lot of not people.
So, when things get progressively more difficult to flourish in, that probably has something to do with it, right?
Not everyone up there, but, you know, a lot of people have this depopulation agenda.
And that used to be driven by war, and now it's been driven by But yeah, I really recommend trying to limit your exposure to all of this really toxic fear porn.
And just ask yourself, can you do anything about it?
If you can't do anything about it, just don't do it.
Just don't do it. It'll wear you out, man.
The mainstream media, reading the mainstream media on a regular basis is identical to being in a verbally abusive relationship.
It's pretty wild.
Elites cry about overpopulation, but avoid talking about Africa.
Yeah, for sure. For sure.
I sometimes wonder if things like Live Aid and all of that aid was designed to swell the black population to overwhelm South Africa and poise for immigrants to Europe.
Who knows? Who knows?
Will Biden succeed in destroying America?
Well, I mean, what's left to destroy?
What's left to destroy? I was talking to some guys today, and I was being interviewed briefly today, and people from Europe were saying, oh, you know, we've got these terrible hate speech laws, America's got free speech.
I'm like, no, but the punishment for violations of what the left doesn't like to hear in America is far harsher, because they'll go and destroy, try and destroy your entire income and livelihood.
You don't get fined that highly in Europe for hate speech laws.
China virus caused mail-in voting to increase, which seemed to be the deciding factor of the election.
Yeah, could be. People will not survive without men.
If men disappeared, women will not learn how to run critical infrastructure, water trucking power.
Well, didn't you see those memes that were all over the place when people were afraid that war was coming?
That suddenly women were like picturing themselves in the kitchen making cookies and raising children and it's all like, oh yeah, for sure.
The left is going after the cake baker again.
Well, be specific, they're going after Christians again.
American GDP is actually pretty strong.
Are you crazy? There have been, what, eight massive bailouts since COVID started, and you're saying the GDP is pretty strong?
It's like saying that the coke addict is pretty happy this afternoon.
Watching Alec Jones put me into fear mode.
Had to stop watching. Yeah, I know.
I can understand. There's got to be some positivity, right?
There's got to be some positivity in what it is that you do.
Otherwise, you're just being paralyzed into the kind of mutant and stuck horror.
All right. Should we close it off?
I don't think there's anybody else who wants to chat voice.
It's all right. We're just starting something new.
So if people want to listen, that's totally fine.
Totally fine. Free to chat.
Free to not chat. It's a great pleasure to have these conversations.
I saw YouTube about life in the 1950s.
I think that was the height of American greatness and happiness.
Oh, the 1950s were complete bliss for women in particular.
Absolutely. Absolutely.
And this is why the 1950s gets demonized so much.
I mean, you go back and look at, you know, Leave it to Beaver or My Three Sons or whatever, and men and women, and this was the time of...
The very greatest happiness for women in particular was the 1950s.
No question. And I remember in my...
University courses, you had to read books like Homeward Bound about how terrible and stultifying and stuffy and horrible and conformist it was.
Just crap. All right.
Let me call in sometime. We can talk about where everyone went.
Sure. Sure.
I'm happy. I want you to get him back.
I think you have a caller.
Go ahead. If you want to speak, speak up.
Hello, Stefan. How are you this evening?
Hi. Go ahead.
Yes, I was just recently on one of your roundtables.
You passed over very quickly.
It was mentioned just briefly.
But it's something I've been wondering about a lot lately.
And I do know, should it ever come to pass, that quantum computing does end up becoming powerful enough to break the encryption of Bitcoin.
We know that Bitcoin will really be the least of our worries.
But you were very kind of blase about it.
You passed right on over it.
And I was kind of hoping you would expand your thoughts on it a little bit more, because I was interested to know what your thoughts were.
And you said something to the effect of a computer doing an infinite loop in 20 seconds, and I had no idea what that meant.
So could you just explain your thoughts on quantum computing and Bitcoin for us?
Yeah. Moore's law is slowing down, right?
So I talked about this the other day and I got some good pushback from it.
So the Moore's law, which is that computing power doubles every 18 months, is slowing down because it's just running out of capacity to increase it.
The amount of computing power that you need to break Bitcoin would be so prodigious it's almost impossible to understand.
And of course, years before, if there was any trajectory that brought that close, all that would happen is people would protect their Bitcoin holdings by evolving Bitcoin into something that even quantum computing couldn't break in the next 500 years.
So if there's anything that threatens a Bitcoin infrastructure, then people will simply change the Bitcoin client.
The Bitcoin isn't evolving. If everybody decides to do something new in Bitcoin, then you can do that.
So I wouldn't worry about the quantum.
It's way off, way off at the moment.
It's inconceivable that it would ever get there.
there.
But if it ever does get close for some matter, then all that will happen is you'll simply increase the algorithmic difficulties or challenges of Bitcoin in order to protect your holdings.
Because people aren't going to sit there and say, oh, well, I've got $5 million in Bitcoin, but there's a fast new computer.
So I guess I'll say goodbye to that.
They'll simply raise the challenges so that the new fast computer can't do that.
Can't do that.
So our NFT a pyramid scheme.
No, no, not at all. It's just collection.
It's like art collection, right? It's just an art collection.
I don't know. I mean, I've got my free domain NFT is there.
And, you know, people will.
So what will happen is people will buy it.
They'll buy this unique thing that I created just for that.
And they'll keep it for their own enjoyment or they'll brag about it or they'll sell it to somebody else who's an even bigger fan and make a bunch of money and all that.
So somebody said, Steph, I've been in a great relationship now for a while and we're on the same page on Peaceful Parenting and more.
Cheers for all you do.
Thank you very much. I appreciate that.
That's very, very nice. Hello?
Hello. Yes.
I was listening to your podcast, your rant on...
I don't mind rant.
I describe it that way.
I'm perfectly comfortable with that.
Speaking about, you know, what's wrong with women.
And, you know, I was married young and, you know, had a child and then said, okay, after, you know, six months, okay, let me go to work.
And, you know, I was in the interview, interviewing with this company, and I came to an epiphany.
And I said, hey, I didn't have a child for somebody else to raise her.
It was a great moment.
Sorry. So you had a kid and you went back to work after six months?
Well, after being home for six months.
So I was in school to finish school and then I said, okay, let me stay home for six months.
So she was about a year, year and a half maybe.
And I was in the interview room and I had a relative.
Watching her and I just, I came to the realization that this is, this is dumb.
This is dumb. My husband made enough money.
There's no reason for me to have to go to work and hand my child off to a complete stranger.
And what are your thoughts about that decision looking back?
Yeah, it was the best thing I ever did.
Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, I used to write like two books a year until my daughter was born, and I've written like two books in 12 years.
And, you know, but she's like a real human being.
The books are just dead paper or dead bits, so to speak, right?
And so I don't have any regrets about any of that stuff.
I mean, wouldn't you rather... I mean, why would you have a kid to have someone else raise the kid?
It's like getting married to someone and then hiring a second wife to do most of your interactions with them.
It's like, I don't... I really understand that.
If you want to get married, then spend time together.
I just was following the paradigm of, okay, finish school, go to college, maybe have kids, and then go to work.
Most people put off having kids, but I started early, so I had kids early.
Then I just realized that, hey, I'm in the fortunate position that my spouse makes enough to support us.
It was good for my spouse, too, because I supported him.
It just was, I think it was better for the relationship.
Oh, absolutely. Listen, I mean, one of the things that I learned from watching a close family member try and juggle being an entrepreneur and a husband and a father when the kids were young was like, I'm like, Mike, you couldn't pay me to do that.
Like, you couldn't. I mean, if you've got two people working, you know, who does the groceries?
Who does the cooking? Who does the taxes?
Who pays the bills? Who runs the household?
Who does the laundry? I mean, you're just running from one thing to another.
And you never have time to enjoy anything.
You're always late for everything.
Everything is always behind. The kids don't have enough clean clothes.
There's not enough in the fridge. And you end up eating out a lot.
And if you, you know, this is for women.
It sounds like you're along these lines.
And, you know, correct me, of course, if you're not.
If you really want to make money, free up your man to pursue his career.
Then you as a team, you as a team will make a staggering amount of money.
Yeah, I mean, even if it's not a staggering amount of money, it's what you can live on.
And I try to counsel, you know, people where I can, you know, do the math.
Do the math. Is you working and your husband working and paying childcare and paying for the second car and paying for the upkeep, is it going to benefit you in any way in the end?
So just do the math.
No, I think that's right. And the thing is, too, like the false economy of, well, you know, we made a little bit more money when the kid was young, but now we get to spend it all on rehab when he's in his teen years.
And it's like, that's not really a very good deal at all.
And I'm only half gig about that as well.
No, that's true.
Well, thank you for all that you do for people that need counseling who maybe didn't have any kind of elders in their life.
All I'm getting from this is you think I'm old.
That's all I'm getting from this?
I'm just kidding. No, I appreciate that.
We're about the same age, so I've got to call myself old if I'm old.
I appreciate that. And the other thing, too, and this is something that you get that I don't, is that you will be a relatively young grandmother.
Look at me. You call me an elder, I'll call you a grandmother to be.
That's it, man. That's where we're at.
That's where we've got to. But no, it's real.
Like, I mean, my daughter's going to have kids, hopefully relatively young, but I'll still be kind of old because, you know, I became a dad in my 40s and I think it was for the best.
I'd learned enough and had enough wisdom that I could be a much better father, but oh my gosh.
Yeah. She'll be young, and because she's raised really well, she'll be a young mom, and then she'll be a young grandmom, and that's going to be kind of cool, because you don't want to be that old, creaky granddad.
It's like, you've got to shout into his good ear and don't push him, because if he falls over, he's not getting back up again.
So hopefully she'll get to it before that happens, but yeah.
Yeah. Could be bad.
Could be bad. Well, thank you so much.
I appreciate it. You're very welcome.
Thank you for your contribution to the world, which is the greatest contribution to raise your kids.
I really, really appreciate that.
Thank you. All right.
Somebody says, I wonder if I should convert my old paintings into NFTs.
I doubt anyone would buy them, but who knows?
Maybe I could get a couple of Ethereum.
Yeah. I mean, why not?
It's pretty easy to do. And what do you think is the ideal time to have children with regards to the child itself?
Well, I mean, I would say once you're an adult, the younger the better.
Let's see here.
Any chance almost will be made into an NFT movie.
Almost would be a fantastic miniseries.
It would be an unbelievably powerful and fantastic miniseries.
But when I was rereading it, which I did last year, after being deplatformed, I needed to take refuge and solace in art and beauty.
This is my novel, by the way, freedomain.com forward slash almost.
It's free, the audiobook, and we're still working on...
I'm so sorry. If you watched this and you were helping me with the text version, please ping me again.
I've lost track of it completely.
So... It would be a fantastic movie, but given how anti-communist it is and who controls the publishing industry, there was no chance it was ever going to get published.
So I'm very glad I stopped trying to write books after a while, novels at least.
Somebody says, Steph, am I immoral for moving to the West from what you call a shite hole?
Well, I guess, how is the country you came from going to improve if all of the good people leave?
I mean, you're listening to this show, Fareed.
I'm sure that you're a great person.
And just my genuine question is, okay, how is it going to improve?
Isn't it just going to get worse and worse and worse?
So I don't know. Why does black and white thinking about people or things happen?
Is it fear of not having certainty?
So black and white thinking tends to be a lower IQ issue.
You can't handle nuance and complexity makes you, to the limit of your intellectual abilities, it makes you frustrated and hostile.
So that's kind of important.
But black and white thinking in general happens when you are not allowed to have complex thoughts as a child.
So if you have a parent and you try and explain something and they're like, oh, just give me the answer.
Or is it this or is it that? Yes or no?
That's all. Like then you have to rush to a yes or no answer because trying to explain yourself.
If you're having a conflict with your sibling and your parent comes in and they just need to...
Who started it? You're trying to explain what happened and maybe it's complex and they just get impatient.
Then complexity is something you get punished for and you slide towards black and white thinking because complexity makes you very anxious.
All right. So you're advising him to be selfless for his country.
No, I'm not saying selfless.
There's great value and virtue and happiness in improving a country.
Yeah, I'm in Chicago.
I've considered leaving, but why flee?
I figure I should fight for the state I grew up in.
One possibility for sure.
Got to stop listening to videos and post bashing men.
Men run the infrastructure. Yeah, somebody posted a video, a very short video, I think it was TikTok, a woman saying, like, what is it that men bring to the table?
And the guy's like, well, men built the table.
Men cut down the trees that built the table.
Men cut the trees into pieces to build the table.
If you have a beer, men ran the breweries.
They picked the hops that made the beer that you put on the table that men built so that you can eat them.
And if you're inside and it's raining, men built the house and they built the roof and they built the air conditioning and they built the heater and they built the water.
So that you could have a cup of water or a cup of tea while you sit at the table that men built, in the house that men built, from the water supply that men built and the taps that men built.
So what do we bring to the table?
Pretty much everything around you.
The question is, ladies, what do you bring to the table?
All right. Thanks, everyone.
A great pleasure to chat this evening.
FreeDomain.com forward slash donate to help out the show.
I would really, really appreciate it.
I'm going to, I'm working with a great fellow named Jared to, to work on this, um, podcast that you can support me by just listening.
And a couple of Satoshis will flow, uh, as you listen, that could be enormously helpful for me.
Uh, and I would really, really appreciate that.
And, um, uh, I don't know, Jared, are you in?
I can't, I'm sorry.
Let me just, let me just check here.
I should, I should know this, but I don't, uh, you know, you're not.
Okay, so yes, you can...
Check this out. It's sphinx.app.
You can get it native to iOS or you can get the APK to install on Android.
It'll just say, you know, it's not from the store or whatever, but it's fine, obviously.
So sphinx.app, you can get in there.
You can look for free domain.
I've got a chat going there and it's going to be very, very cool.
And we will sort that out soon.
We're going to do a whole, here's how to get it up and running on your phone.
Kind of thing. And it's going to be another one of these kind of shielded places.
It's going to be like, you know, maybe two bucks to sign up in crypto and all of that.
So, you know, we keep the trolls at bay and have great conversations.
And it's going to be really, really enjoyable and I think a great thing to work on.
And, you know, we want cutting edge.
We want next generation stuff.
We want comfortable... Lifeboat, so you don't sit there and say, well, the Titanic of the mainstream media and mainstream Twitter sort of YouTube stuff was comfortable, but, you know, this is kind of uncomfortable in the lifeboat, even though the other one is going down.
We want it to be as comfy in the lifeboat and superior and better to what came before.
And I really do thank the people who've been helping me out with the Sphinx chat and other things.
I will post the links to all of that soon, and we'll get up and running soon.
On all of that. So thanks, everyone.
Lots of love from up here. I really, really do appreciate your support, your interest.
It's still wonderful. I mean, I'd be chatting if there was no one here, but my God, it's a lot better with you guys here because it makes me feel, you know, vaguely sane.
So I appreciate that too.
Have yourself a wonderful evening.

And also, freedomain.com/almost for my historical novel, freedomain, sorry, fdrurl.com/togoatgoa, T-G-O-A for the God of Atheists.
That's my comedy novel and freedomain NFT.
If you would like to have a look, I'm gonna be posting more stuff this week.
I dug up an old manifesto of my beliefs that I wrote when I was 24 years old.
Long, long time before I became any kind of public figure.
And I'm going to put that out as an NFT, me reading it and explaining what I was thinking and why I was writing it and how it's changed since then.
I think it's going to be a really good slice of philosophical history that I think will be quite a collector's item down the road.
So, have yourself a great evening.
Lots of love from here. Take care.
I will... Talk to you soon.
Don't forget, Friday nights, I think we're going to be streaming.
You can get that at Podbean or, I don't know, we're going to try a bunch of different places, but freedomain.com forward slash newsletter, freedomain.com forward slash newsletter as well to do the newsletter.
And so nice to see everyone here tonight and take care.
