TWO RANTS vs THE BLACK GATE OF DESPAIR!
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
It's June the 5th, 2021, and I have two, count them, two rants of me.
I'm giving birth to twins.
I'm going to step over the tech rant for my lovely new Apollo duo that doesn't seem to want to be recognized by any live streaming software known to God, man, or Satan, but we're going to go straight into the rant as a whole.
Okay, so let me ask you this.
Did you ever have someone in your life, hit me with a why, Hit me with a why.
That's philosophy as a whole.
Hit me with a why! Take it to the bridge!
So hit me with a why if you've ever been in a relationship with someone who gives you a rule and then breaks it themselves.
Let me just know if you've ever had a relationship.
Somebody gives you a rule and then they just plain up an old break it themselves.
You ever had this? Hit me with a why.
Show me. The magic.
If you've got an N, if you live with somebody who's consistent, fantastic, that's wonderful.
Why? Okay. Give me some examples, my brothers and sisters.
Give me! Some examples.
That would be excellent. While you're doing that, I will give you one example.
I've mentioned this on the story before.
I don't want to become the old guy who tells the same story over and over and over again and nobody notices, right?
So here is my story of hypocrisy.
So in my 20s, I was living with a young lady and she was constantly telling me that I was...
Messy! I was messy.
I didn't clean up after myself.
I didn't tidy after myself.
Oh, gosh darn it!
It was just so awful that I was messy.
Now, I'm actually not that messy a person.
I'm pretty tidy because it drives me nuts to try and find things, so I'm pretty tidy around things.
What happens with me, tide comes in, tide goes out.
Things get a little messy, and then I'm like, oh my god, it drives me crazy, and then...
I end up cleaning it all up and tidying it all up.
And then it stays that way for a couple of months.
Then, you know, it drifts as these things tend to do and all of that.
So anyway, and also, I was working as the co-founder of a software company.
I was chief technical officer.
So I was doing just a little bit, just a little bit.
To try and keep the business afloat and grow it and make payroll and all kinds of exciting things.
Because payroll, the cash flow is king in a business, man.
Payroll is like metronome.
You've got to hit it every two weeks or you're done.
Whereas, of course, your sales cycles in the software business that I was in, the sales cycle could take months.
So let me just see here.
I'm going to just read off what some people have said about it, right?
Let's see here. Every female relationship ever.
Don't leave dishes in sync.
Always leave dishes in sync.
Do as I say, not as I do.
Being angry is bad.
Why they themselves get angry and verbally abusive.
Don't yell! That kind of stuff, right?
Father, never lie to me because I never lie to you.
Meanwhile, he is telling a lie.
My mom and I leave one thing out on the table and she leaves her crap everywhere.
You can't see your friends.
I'm going out with my friends.
My boyfriend used to leave his toothbrush flat on the sink counter.
I told him not to do that. Then I was in a rush.
Wait, wait, ah! It went away.
And also did it. Yeah.
Mom says, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
And she meant it. I like...
Oh, gosh.
She was in the Algonquin roundtable.
She said, if you've got nothing nice to say about anyone, you come and sit right down here by me.
So... Anyway, this woman was telling me that I was messy, and even though I was working like 12, 14 hours a day, six, seven days a week sometimes, I remember she came to the very first office that I ever had as a professional.
I mean, I worked in a room with a bunch of other coders when I first started coding, but when I got my company going and I finally got to be a professional with my own office, she came to my office, my very first office.
She looked out and she said, well, that's a nice view of the parking lot.
Ooh, and the relationship was kind of unraveling at that point.
Anyway, so she was constantly telling me I was messy and constantly nagging at me to tidy up.
So funny story, I moved out and I ended up having to go back.
You know, that whiplash thing because I was going to France for a business trip and I needed my passport, which I realized I'd left in a filing cabinet at the place where you deliver.
So I went back and...
I went back to get my passport, and my God, the place was a complete and total pigsty.
Like, unbelievable stuff.
Like, clothes all over the floor, and dishes piled up in the sink, and I was afraid to open the fridge and all of that.
And I just remember, like, oh my God, she didn't care at all!
Didn't care at all about So, don't we all preach stuff we often don't practice?
Well, okay, that's fair.
That's very fair. But here's the point, right?
The point is not, do you preach things you don't practice?
Of course that's going to happen. It's much easier to impose rules on other people than it is to embody them yourself.
That's not the question. The question is this.
The question is, when it's pointed out to you, Do you recognize it and say, oh, you're right, totally two-faced to me, kind of hypocritical, I didn't notice it, thank you for the reminder, blah, blah, blah, blah, right?
So if somebody says, you've got to put dishes in the dishwasher, and then they leave dishes out of the dishwasher, and you kind of point it out, they say, oh, you know what, that's really bad, that's kind of funny, blah, blah, blah, right?
Sorry about that. I will get to it.
So it's not, are we hypocrites?
We're all hypocrites from time to time.
That happens. What happens is when we're called out on a hypocrisy, what happens then?
That's the big question.
So, I will tell you the rant.
And it's not going to be my quietest rant, neither is it going to be my calmest rant.
In fact, it may be up there in the top five.
So, in fact, it's such a rant, I need to chap my lipsticks.
You'll see this in slow motion on OnlyFans.
So, here's the thing.
Oh, your mom gives you a speech about how it doesn't matter.
It's different when I do it, right?
Hypocrisy is kind of inevitable, right?
I mean, if tigers, which love to hide and hunt, could complain about hunters...
Who love to hide and hunt tigers, they would say, well, it's wrong to hide and hunt.
It's fine when I do it, but it's bad when you do it, right?
Okay, your ears are warmed up.
Let's do it. Are you ready?
Are you strapped in? Do you have your crash test dummy helmet on?
Because this one goes right to the balls of my philosophy, and it's balls to the walls time, volume time.
Sing it. Sing it.
Sing it, baby! It's a great old Colin James song.
All right. When I first started to get into libertarian philosophy, small government philosophy, private, free market, capitalist philosophy, what do you think here in Canada, what do you think, give me your guesses my brothers and sisters, what do you think was the biggest objection to privatization here in Canada when I would talk about privatization of government stuff?
Now, my Canadian friends and my British friends will get this like this, and my American friends are going to have a little bit of a tougher time.
Maybe. What do you think people railed against me from here to eternity when I said, let's privatize?
This. Oh, boom!
You got it, baby.
First, RoboBeast, you are a champion.
You've paid your dues time after time.
Yes, that's right. Mike, Mike.
You got it. You got it.
You want it?
You got it. Yes.
A.V. Scottenflower, you got it too?
Oh, yes.
Africana 777.
Yes, that's right.
Noise-canceling headphones plus upgraded StephBot audio equals Nirvana.
Actually, believe it or not, this is not upgraded audio.
This is a secondary mic.
The upgraded audio is even sweeter and even better.
And I've got a crack team of tech experts working on it right now.
But it's, yeah, it's healthcare.
It's healthcare. It's healthcare.
So whenever I would say, now my mom was a doctor suing hypochondriac from hell, and so when I would suggest privatizing healthcare for her, she completely hit the roof, like went completely insane, because then she would have actually had to pay for doctor shopping.
But, oh no, it's, it's, uh, you say, oh, gotta privatize healthcare.
People would just go completely, totally freaking mental.
Because that's one of the first things that was socialized under socialist Tommy Douglas back in the, I think, early 1960s.
And the doctors fought it like crazy in Canada.
Do you know, up until the 1940s in Canada, there was no central banking?
Oh my God, it's 80 years or less.
Anyway, so privatizing healthcare.
That was, that was the big thing.
That was the big deal. And people just could not imagine.
Do you know what they would say to me?
What would they say to me? You guys know, you guys know.
You guys know. What they would say to me is...
But people, they desperately need access to healthcare.
If they don't have access to healthcare, people will be dropping dead in the streets.
They will die a thousand deaths.
They'll be going down like combine harvesters, like independent minds in government education.
They'll be going down like tall spines...
Before the combine harvester of social justice warrior cult prejudice, they will just fall and you'll step over bodies and people will cough and die and spread disease and they will be in so much pain, so much pain, so much suffering.
I mean, if you deny them health care and they've got a bad knee or a bad hip or a bad back, they'll just mouth...
Down opiates, like their Prince or Michael Jackson on their last tottering legs.
And then they'll get addicted to opioids.
And then what will happen?
And people also, if people have to pay, you see, for preventive care, they won't bother going for checkups.
They won't bother going for any kind of tests that are aiming to find things down the road, right?
They won't bother with preventive care.
They won't. Have their poop tests for colon cancer.
They won't get breast exams.
They won't do anything. And then they'll just wait till they get sick.
It's going to be way more expensive.
So if you want to privatize healthcare, you are just a monster.
People absolutely, completely and totally need their access to their healthcare.
And if you want to deny them access to their healthcare, you're a beast in human form.
Now, of course, I had my arguments.
And, you know, sure, we, you know, most of health care is pretty cheap.
And for the occasional really expensive stuff, you need insurance, right?
People have, like, government is providing, like, regular doctor checkups and so on, which is like buying car insurance for an oil change.
There's stuff in a car that you know needs to be maintained.
You've got to go in and get your spark plugs checked, and you've got to get your exhaust checked, and you've got to get your oil checked, right?
And then every now and then your transmission decides to gut you like a Viking, and it's like, hey, did you have a balanced budget?
Along comes your transmission with that Leonardo DiCaprio meme, right?
No, thank you. No, thank you.
I said, of course, if you have insurance, and forget about the American system.
The American system is wretched, horrible, vile, horrible.
It's a mess, right? Although it's still better than Canada.
So what you would do, of course, if you have private health care, you'd have an insurance company that would say, oh, yeah, you'll need to go in for your annual weighing.
And if you've gone up in weight, you know, we're going to have to raise your rates because you're going to need hip replacement, knee replacement, back issues are going to show up.
You're going to have fatty liver.
You're going to have potential diabetes and so on, right?
So what they would do, of course, is they would say, how's your health?
Let's get your blood pressure checked.
Let's do your blood work. Let's make sure we catch things early because for insurance companies, catching things early is way cheaper than treating them later.
You want a system like the old system in China, pre-communism.
In the old system in China, what you did is you paid your doctor every single month until you got sick and then he had to treat you for free.
So because you paid him only when you were healthy and he had to treat you when you were sick for free, he had a massive incentive to keep you healthy.
Right now, in socialized healthcare, what happens?
They don't make any money off prevention.
Insurance makes money off prevention in the same way that an insurance company makes money when your house doesn't burn down if you have fire insurance.
So insurance makes money off prevention.
But socialized medicine only makes money off treatment and cure, which is why people are getting fistfuls of pills and they're getting on these regimens.
And what is it? Everyone over 60 has like five different pills they take a day and all this kind of crap, right?
So... You'd just be way healthier and way better off.
You have regular health care costs and then you have your catastrophic insurance, which you would have to take tests every year or every couple of years to make sure you were okay.
And if you didn't show up for those tests, you wouldn't be covered and they would really want to try and catch you early and they would be promoting healthy lifestyles.
In return for cheaper, less expensive premiums, right?
You pay less expensive premiums if you maintain a healthy weight.
They'll also check your muscle mass, right?
Because if you're not exercising, your bones are going to deteriorate.
You're going to get osteoporosis.
You're going to have lots of expensive treatments, and there's no treatments for some of this stuff.
You need canes, wheelchairs, levitation devices.
I don't know. You need to be in a Stanley Kubrick movie that goes on forever.
Whatever it's going to be, right? They'll check your muscle mass.
If you have no muscle mass, you're not exercising, then...
Or maybe they'll say, oh, you know, just let us have an overview of your Fitbit or Apple Watch settings of exercise or whatever it is, and we'll check your resting heart rate and we'll give you an angiogram and whatever it will.
We'll do an MRI every five years.
Whatever they're going to do to make sure you stay as healthy as humanly possible because they only make money when you're not sick.
Socialized medicine only makes money when you are sick.
That's just the way it goes.
But I was told, oh, I can feel this coming up in me, like a coked up Alex Jones.
So I was told forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever what a heartless, evil, poverty, stepping on, sick person pillaging, the jerkwad of an anti-human sick person pillaging, the jerkwad of an anti-human being I was for wanting privatized medicine.
Now, does anybody want to guess where I'm going with this?
This is a Why today? Like, why now?
Why? Does anybody want to guess why this is coming up for me now in 2021?
Anybody want to take a guess?
Help me out, my brothers and sisters.
Help me out! While you're doing that, I will give you some lemons.
I'm gonna distribute them like crazy, because you all were.
Yeah, why? Why is this coming up?
Canadians are crossing the border into the U.S. to get COVID vaccine.
Yeah, I mean, I gave a rant back in the day when I was misdiagnosed, underdiagnosed, and couldn't get any treatment in Canada for what turned out to be cancer.
See, when I first got, I had this lump, and when I first got it checked, there was no cancer.
And then by the time they had not, like six months had passed, I still couldn't get any treatment.
And the next time I got it checked, it was cancer.
But I got it checked in the States.
So why? No, it's not a cancer anniversary.
It's not the vaccine thing.
The current healthcare doesn't actually give access to heal.
You have to wait super long.
Okay.
Just for the sake of the neighbors, I'm just going to close the door here for a sec.
All right.
No, I don't have a family member who's sick.
And And I'm, you know, you're 15 years cancer-free.
Good for you. Good for you. I think I'm nine.
So fantastic. All right.
I will tell you why this is coming up for me now.
Free, yeah. So I will tell you why it's coming up now.
My whole life.
I was told that people desperately need access to regular healthcare, and if they didn't get access to that regular healthcare, it would be about the worst thing in the world, and the only way to give them access to regular healthcare was socialized medicine.
The government had to tax the healthy and fund the sick.
Now, here in Ontario, and it's not just in Ontario, there's lots of different places, There has been no healthcare system for well over a year.
There has been practically...
I mean, yes, if you get hit by a truck, you can go to emergency, but it's now estimated that about half a million people in Ontario haven't gotten the healthcare that they need.
They haven't gotten what are laughingly called elective surgeries, like a nose job or a boob job.
These are people in incredible pain from knee injuries, joint injuries, hip injuries.
They need replacements, and they're in massive pain.
They can't get anywhere. They can't do anything.
Constant pain. You've got bone binding, grinding on bone without any cartilage to soften it.
It's agony. So they're taking down fistfuls of opiates, getting addicted, some of them ODing.
We have people who aren't getting their regular cancer screenings, women who aren't getting breast exams.
And the vast majority of the general healthcare apparatus in my home province has flatlined for over a year.
And now they're saying it will take...
How long? How long do you think it will take?
How long do you think it will take?
And this is the government's estimate, which of course is...
Way low. How long do you think it's going to take until people in Ontario and the healthcare system in Ontario catch up with all of the backlogged surgeries, interventions, preventive treatments, you name it.
How long is it going to take to catch up to everything that's been left behind?
So we got estimates ranging from three years to five years to 3.5 years to eight years.
And our 69 guy is in there thinking he's being funny again.
Well, yeah. Okay, spoiler, they'll never catch up.
But yeah, the latest estimate, it's going to take four and a half years to catch up to all the surgeries that have gone missing over the course of the shutdown of the healthcare system.
I actually know a woman...
She tripped and she got a blood clot.
Of course, it wasn't diagnosed because they wouldn't treat her properly.
And it then spread to her lungs.
And oh, my God, because she didn't get access to the health care, she almost died.
And she's been largely, well, somewhat physically crippled for about a year now because she just can't get stuff.
People aren't getting health care.
They're terrified of hospitals. They're told they have to wait.
They can't get preventive care.
They can't get scannings.
They can't get exams.
So if you need surgery right now, you won't get it for 4.5 years.
So again, I'm not an expert in this.
I'm just telling you what I've read.
It depends. Look, if you break your arm, they'll set it for you.
If it's an emergency room situation, then you can go and get the health care.
But if you have something which can possibly wait, that isn't immediately life-threatening, I don't know exactly what the definition is of elective surgery.
It's a shitty term. But, yeah, you've got years to wait.
Well, four and a half years, there will be new backlogs and so on, right?
Yeah, of course. And that, of course, is assuming that people aren't going to get a whole lot sicker in the future, which I think they are, because everybody's taken a complete break from exercising their immune system for the last 15 months.
Sanitizing masks, staying home, not going anywhere, not touching anything, not seeing anyone.
You've created a shrinking, violet, virgin, easily hysteric immune system.
But that's okay, Steph.
One less person may have gotten COVID because they denied healthcare.
Yeah, we got, what, 10 million people in Ontario and...
20,000 deaths and so on, even if we assume that.
Fraser Institute, yeah, out of 28 OECD countries, Canada spends the second most per GDP on healthcare and is 26th, both in doctors and beds per 1,000 people.
So, here's the thing.
And do you guys ever have this let the world burn kind of nihilism rise in you like some black tide, like Satan rising with a parasol from a mastodon pit of treacly prehistoric resentment?
Do you ever feel that's just that?
Let it all burn!
Let it all burn!
Do you ever have that? I don't know if it's just me.
Do you ever have that feeling?
Because, you know, I've spent 40 years of my life trying to save people from all of this stuff, and I really do try.
Yes, often, yes.
The black path, the dark path, the come-with-me-Satan path, it does tempt me.
It does tempt me.
And I'll tell you why.
Oh, my God.
I can't even I can't even process or comprehend this level of just oh, my Godness of this particular situation.
Right.
So.
My whole life, I was told that to deny people health care was about the worst thing known to man.
And I was an evil guy for suggesting things be privatized.
Now, of course, if things were privatized, we'd be fine right now.
We'd be fine right now.
See, the government has no incentive to actually improve healthcare.
They had a year to prepare for this pandemic, or six months at least.
Still not ready for it. Still overwhelmed all the time because they've got no incentive.
They have no incentive. Now, if you're an insurance company or you provide health care and there's an increase in demand for health care, you can make a lot of money.
Oh, an increase in demand for what it is that I provide.
That's a good thing, right? It means you're going to make some money.
So you'll invest in all of that stuff.
You know, if people want a whole bunch more iPhones, you know what they do?
Well, it seems they go and enslave a lot more Chinese people and put nets around so they don't kill themselves to produce more iPhones.
That's how it rolls in the free market.
It's not how it rolls with the government.
How it rolls with the government is, oh, we've got to provide you healthcare.
Oh, man, we wanted to do some TikTok videos.
Oh, come on, that's terrible.
Yeah, free market healthcare would have allowed the use of ivermectin, hydrochloroquine, you name it, right?
You name it.
So... Turns out, everybody was completely full of shit my entire goddamn life.
Do you know how I know that?
Because healthcare has been taken away from 10 million people.
And nobody cares at all.
Nobody cares at all.
Now, healthcare hasn't just been taken away in that, oh, well, you know, it's kind of tough to get into the government stuff, but don't worry, there's a private clinic.
You can go and trade some bitcoins in to get cancer screening.
Nope. Nope, can't do it.
Why? Because the government has a monopoly, and it's illegal to pay for private healthcare.
Go to jail? Don't think I'd want to, although it might be preferable to die from cancer.
Ten million people have been effectively denied healthcare for over a year and nobody gives a shit about it.
Nobody's up in arms about it.
The government, like I was saying, hey, let's just privatize it.
Let's just make it voluntary. I don't like the doctors being state surf slaves for my indiscretions because, you know, 70% of illness comes from lifestyle choices.
It's not genetic. It's not accidental.
It's lifestyle choices.
You smoke, you drink, you get overweight, you don't exercise, you do drugs.
70% of healthcare is just people doing stupid stuff that they know is stupid and they know they shouldn't do, but they do it anyway.
70%, right? I don't think the doctors should be the slaves of anyone.
I don't want to be a slave.
I don't want the doctors to be slaves because I care about my health, so I want the doctor motivated to treat me and do a good job, which they're not.
They're not in the current healthcare system.
So my whole life I was told, but if you deny healthcare to people, you're a monster!
And now, for a year or more, healthcare has been effectively shut down for 10 million people.
Turns out, nobody cared about it at all.
40 goddamn years.
I'm yelled at by everyone and their dog because people have to have healthcare.
They turn the switch off from healthcare and bar anybody from getting it in the free market.
They have cock-blocked any possibility of health care in this province.
And nobody seems to care at all.
I mean, I've been railing about it for a while.
Now, imagine, imagine if I had said, well, you know what we should do to fix health care is we should make one company have complete and total control over health you know what we should do to fix health care is And then they can deny people access to health care if it turns out to be too expensive for them.
Do you know what people would have said?
You monster! And they'd have been kind of right.
Kind of right. If you say, oh, one corporation should have exclusive, monopoly, violent control over healthcare, and if things turn out to be kind of inconvenient or too expensive, even if they have six months to prepare for it, they can deny healthcare to anyone they want.
Sorry, you got a face full of Cheerios and opioids because your knees are killing you too bad.
Maybe in half a decade we might be able to fix you.
Sorry. Oh, by the way, if you want to go to the States.
Oh, I'm sorry, you can't drive across.
That's too bad. That's too bad.
Yeah, we closed the border too, so we really trapped you in.
Denied your health care. Can't get it.
Gotta pay for it still. Gotta pay for it.
Of course you gotta pay for it.
But you can't get it.
And you can't go anywhere else to get it because we closed the border and it's illegal to get it privately.
Oh my God, I can't even tell you what black bile this washes my innards in.
And I think it's a cleansing, healthy, acidic black bile that washes away all illusions and delusions about the supposed benevolence of the masses.
Oh, everyone's got to get their health care.
We care so... Oh. Oh, really?
Oh, a couple of thousand people are dying of COVID. Okay, let's just shut down the health care for 10 million people.
And nobody's sitting there saying, well, this is...
Unacceptable! This is unacceptable!
We cannot shut down the health care for 10 million people?
Because we have a couple of hundred people in the ICU? Come on.
Nobody. I've seen reporters grilling the health ministers here in Ontario.
Well, not grilling them. They're just saying, yes, well, it is really difficult.
And they're not sitting there saying, you had at least six months to prepare.
Why the hell aren't you ready? You have a massive budget.
You're forcing people to pay for health care that not only are you not providing to them, but you'll throw them in jail if they go and get it from anywhere else.
I'm telling you, because, you know, for many years...
Oh, I'm sure if you've...
Hit me with a Y if you've experienced this kind of thing.
So for many, many years, I thought, well, you know, people really do care about the provision of health care.
They really, boy, they just want to make sure that the poor people and everyone gets access to the healthcare because they just care so much about everyone and they just really desperately want to make sure everybody gets access to healthcare.
Turns out, total bullshit.
They don't care at all. They don't care at all.
They don't care at all.
Healthcare has now been forcibly denied to 10 million people regular healthcare.
And for at least half a decade, I assume, into the future, it's going to be denied to millions of people.
There's a single source that's shut down and it's illegal to get it elsewhere in Ontario.
And they've locked people into Ontario because you can't cross the border except by plane.
And then when you come back, you've got to go into a COVID jail for three days and quarantine for 14 more at your own cost.
So what the hell were people doing?
I mean, it's a genuine question.
This is even more, I mean, way more, infinitely more incomprehensible than the girl who nagged me for Being untidy and then turned into be a total pig mistress herself, right?
What the hell were people talking about?
They don't care that there's no healthcare.
I mean, you can see a couple of articles.
It's, you know, I guess we have some concerns about the lack of screening.
It turns out...
It's all completely optional bullshit.
Don't need it at all. You can just shut down healthcare for 10 million people.
Doesn't matter. Who cares?
Too bad. They'll be fine.
Nobody gives a shit. Oh, you've got to still charge them for it all, though.
But you won't give them any services.
You've got to charge them. You don't have to provide anything.
I mean, it's bad enough.
It's like the unholy trinity.
You charge them, you don't provide the services, and you ban them from getting them elsewhere.
Fudge. Fudgesicle.
And each armpit jogging in place.
holy crap oh my god what the hell were people talking and nagging, yelling at me You just got to do yelling matches with people.
Where they're just, oh, you inhuman monster.
And now, something infinitely worse than anything I ever proposed.
Of course, what I proposed would be better in general, except for the chronically sick and the chronically ill.
And we could, of course, have charities for those as well.
But what I proposed, even in people's most nightmare scenarios, something infinitely worse than people's worst imaginations of what I was proposing has now come to bear, has now borne its black fruit here.
And people don't care.
I'm seriously, utterly, like my brain is just short-circuiting.
I'm absolutely completely, help me out, my brothers and sisters.
Tell me what the hell is going on.
The ICU's in Ontario almost collapsed in 2017 because of a bad flu season.
System has been broken forever. What on earth were people yelling at me all these years?
You got to have healthcare.
Now healthcare's been shut down.
You're trapped. You can't get any alternatives.
You can't travel to get them. What the heck?
Nobody cares. Nobody cares.
It's infinitely worse than the worst case scenario that people yelled at me for 40 years.
It's infinitely worse than the worst case scenario that people yelled at me for over 40 years for this shit.
And nobody cares.
So I'm looking back through time.
I'm traveling, like I'm frisbeeing my baby back through time.
Like, what the hell? Oh, we care so much about the poor.
They've got to have health care now. The health care has been taken away.
They're still being charged for it.
They get thrown in jail if they look for alternatives.
And nobody cares. Oh, my God!
Above. Wow.
Oh, my Satan below.
They don't care. See, I thought, well, they really care about people getting healthcare, and they just disagree with me because they think my system won't get people healthcare, but their system will get people healthcare, and so they just...
And it turns out that's all a lie.
That's all absolutely, completely, and totally untrue.
Because if I had suggested, as I said, if I had suggested this system that we have right now, you get charged for it, you get barred from using it, and you get thrown in jail if you go for an alternative.
If I had proposed that, people would be like, oh my God, you absolute monster!
You monster! While the monster has come to pass, the worst case scenario has manifested, and nobody cares.
Can you imagine if I'd run for office?
Sorry, can you imagine me running for office?
Can you imagine me or anyone running for office with this plan?
We're going to charge people, we're going to deny them health care, and we're going to throw them in jail if they try to get alternatives, and we're going to lock them in the province.
Caged animals, rising water, falling lava.
Good luck, ferrets!
If you'd ran on that, people would be like, oh my god, what a monster!
What a hellacious system!
He must hate everyone! And now, it's all come to pass, and nobody cares.
The reporters in Canada had infinitely more hysteria, hostility, criticism and opposition to me trying to give a speech in British Columbia than they do for the shutdown of healthcare and the entrapment of 10 million people.
I guess I have that much power!
I'm Thor! They don't care.
They're not confronting anyone. There are no protests.
They're not like the reporters calling up people saying, where the hell is the healthcare?
And here's the weird thing.
Here's the weird thing. See, it's not an abstract thing as a whole.
It's not an abstract thing as a whole because I literally know people.
Family members have gotten really sick.
A few people I know, their family members have died waiting for healthcare.
And... They're still like, well, you know, we all got to hang together.
We got to make sure that we don't get overwhelmed.
Somebody you claim to care about just died from this system.
And still, I can't even, literally shaking, how am I supposed to live in this zombie land?
How? How? How? Tell me.
How do you do it? How do you do it?
How do you do it?
How do you get through the day?
Please help me understand.
Health care has been shut down for 10 million people for over a year.
And nobody seems to care.
It turns out the massive tax bill that we've been paying was for a totally optional system that you can just take it away and it doesn't matter because nobody cares.
How am I supposed to get by on a planet filled with such people?
How? How? Let's run away together, says RoboBeast.
They don't care.
And I literally had people, their hands shaking.
Teacups and saucers rattling in their hands, thundering at me.
What a terrible person I was for wanting to deny people healthcare when all I wanted to do was to be free and optional, which would have been fantastic if a pandemic came along.
You ramp up production because people really want your stuff, really need your stuff.
I had people calling me every name in the book for my heartlessness and callousness and coldness and don't you care and the poor people and the sick and now health care is forcibly denied 10 million people who are still forced to pay for it and can't have any alternatives.
Nobody cares.
I can't fathom this planet.
I literally I'm like right at the edge This happened to me, oh gosh, back in 2008.
I was right at the edge, right?
Because when I stood up for adult victims of child abuse, everybody called me a cult leader, and I was destroying families for fun and profit, and I was the worst guy in the known universe.
And I was like, I couldn't process it.
I had to sit there for weeks, like just, what the hell is going on?
And I finally realized, of course, that people only say they care about their kids.
You know, like when I worked up north, gold panning, prospecting, I would come out of a bar at two o'clock in the morning on the few times that I would go to town, and I'd see the native, the indigenous kids with no pants, three, four years old, wandering around the streets.
And now, of course, we care so much about our kids.
The residential schools, all funded by the government.
It's all a government program, but apparently now Canada as a whole has to apologize for what the government funded, which is the cultural stripping and genociding of these indigenous kids.
Now hundreds of bodies have been found I think in one of these schools.
So everybody, of course, would claim to care about children and abuse and we've got to protect the kids and children of the future and then I actually do something to protect children and I'm a cult leader.
It's just incomprehensible.
At least it was. I kind of got that black spot on the heart of society that it's all just mostly alive when you talk about protecting kids.
The only people you want to protect are yourselves and usually your crimes against children.
But this shit, man, it's been bubbling in me for a while.
I've been checking the news like, okay, somebody's got to be talking about this.
Somebody has to be talking about the fact that 10 million people have been forcibly stripped of their health care and will be thrown in jail if they find alternatives and are trapped in the province.
Someone's got to be bothered by this.
I've even.
Little confession time.
I've even... I've even checked the feeds of some of the people who used to bitterly rail at me about free market health care and how bad it was and how people have to be guaranteed the right and access to a doctor and health care and people will die if they don't and...
I've checked their feeds.
These people I won't say anyone who it is.
I've checked their feeds. I always try and talk myself out of the Black Gate.
You've got to get a boat drifting on the black tide towards the Black Gate of rage and burning it all with joy and a Michael Flatley bouncing Lord of the Dance jig.
I always fight the Black Gate.
The Black Gate says, oh, come on, man, you're still an idiot who's optimistic.
Come on, come on down.
Open your heart up to the truth of the world that you're surrounded by machines inevitably bent towards your destruction, not through hatred, but rather indifference and defensiveness.
Oh, the Black Gate just lures me and lures me.
Come this way. This is downhill.
This is with the current.
This is where the truth is.
It only looks black because you're blinded by the light of your own imaginary optimism.
It's not black. In here, you get the infrared vision that sees the heat spots of immorality and amorality and nihilism in the world around you.
It is only through going through the Black Gate that you can actually comprehend the world as it is.
And I'm like, Black Gate, stay...
Oh, I'm going to be a good boy.
I'm going to stay away from the Black Gate.
I'm going to be positive. I'm going to be enthusiastic.
I'm going to be Pollyanna.
Oh, but the Black Gate...
The Black Gate wants me too?
Oh, it does, man.
Don't pay the ferryman.
Yeah, the Black Gate. Are you tempted?
Are you tempted to just...
I'm just rowing. Like my arms are fucking falling off.
I'm just rowing. Gotta stay away from the Black Gate.
Row! Row! Row!
I'm a parent. I gotta stay away from the Black Gate.
It's tiring. It's tiring.
Because unfortunately, you know, here's the thing.
This is what happens, right?
So I'm like rowing against the Black Gate.
I'm just rowing against the Black Gate.
Oh, stay on the sunny side.
Stay optimistic. Stay positive.
It's going to be fine.
I'm like the guy, you know, sometimes the guy falling down in the movie Titanic and bangs his head when the thing's split and fallen and he bangs his head on the rudder.
I'm like, I'm fine. It's going to be great.
It's going to be great. So I'm rowing, I'm rowing, I'm rowing against all odds, against sometimes all reason, against all evidence.
And I'm like, well, you've got to be the reason and evidence, guys.
So stop rowing against the Black Gate and just, hey, see where it takes you.
I'm like, no! It's a waterfall into nihilism.
I'm going to end up gnawing on raw fish at the root of a mountain like black-hearted golem.
But here's the thing. Here's the thing.
I can fight a current.
I can fight a current.
You know what I can't fight? A tsunami.
Right? So all of this evidence of all the people who yelled at me and hurt me and hurt my reputation and insulted me and all the women who were like, oh, you monster!
Who don't care now that people have been caged and stripped of health care to the tune of 10 million people.
and oh my god so i can fight a current right you You have done this rowing.
I remember when I was a kid in Ireland rowing with my father and there was a strong current and he's like, row, son, row!
You know, I want to show off to my dad.
I'm a strong guy. Row, row, row.
And yeah, you could usually make it, right?
If you row hard enough, you can go against the current.
Or if you've ever been caught in a riptide, you're swimming off the beach.
I'm a strong swimmer and all that.
I was seventh fastest swimmer in Ontario when I was a teenager, so I'm a pretty good swimmer.
Anyway, so I can row against the current.
The black gate is... Come to the dark side.
The dark side only looks dark because you're in the ice cream castles of cloud fantasy imaginary optimism.
Come to the real world.
Come to where there's gravity. Come to where there's facts and truth and reason and evidence.
Come to where you will be released from any hatred because the opposite of hatred is acceptance.
You hate what you think you can change.
And you think you can be out there changing people, which means when they don't change, you dislike them.
And I hear, says the black gate, this big moor where the current and the tsunami is pushing me.
They say, listen, I can release you from hatred.
You step through this black gate and you give up all hope of changing people.
And then you don't need to get mad at them anymore.
It's like that old Gary Larson cartoon.
You know, what you say to the dog, Ginger, you should stay out of the garbage.
Stop rooting around in the garbage.
You keep ripping the garbage, and Ginger, you've really got to stop, right?
And all the dogs hear, Ginger, Ginger, Ginger, Ginger.
They don't have any clue what you say.
Nobody gets mad at a dog or a puppy.
You get a little annoyed, maybe a little frustrated, but you don't get mad because puppy doesn't have free will.
Puppy's not going to change. You might be able to condition them with punishments and rewards, but that's about it, right?
So the Blackgate says, oh, you think that if you go through me...
If you pass through this black womb, if you get birthed into the world of truth and reality, that by God, you are going to end up full of hatred.
And the black gate says to me, that's just not true.
That's just not true.
If you pass through me, if you step out of The megalomaniacal world where you have, through your language and the force of your speech and the gestures of your spells, you can change people's minds.
Key part there is minds.
Mind over matter. If you have no mind, it doesn't matter what people say.
Pass through the black gate.
Surrender. Stop fighting the tide.
By the way, there's a tsunami coming, so it really doesn't matter what you do.
You're going through the Black Gate either way.
You can either do it voluntarily, or you can do it because you're washed in, in which case you don't even have the self-respect of having made a goddamn choice to pass through the Black Gate, where on the other side is not even bitterness.
It's not hatred. It's not anger.
It is simply mere acceptance that all the people who have screamed at you and called you terrible names for 40 years don't care about health care at all.
And the girl who nagged you for being messy didn't care about tightness at all.
That all people do, and the fact is that you cared about, you cared about healthcare, these people didn't.
What they cared about was dominating you through rejection.
Because all people do is say no, right?
They just say no to things and they think they have power.
Just say no. Just say no.
Just say no. Oh, look, I have power.
Oh, here's somebody who's got an enthusiastic idea.
They want to get something done. They're very excited.
They're very happy. They're very...
Piss on that little wildfire of ambition.
We're going to leave it wet, cold, and yellow acidic.
You know, you've got these hopes.
You've got these hopes and they get dumped like ice into a urinal and everybody comes up with their beer-soaked bladders and pees it into non-existence.
So maybe the Black Gate is a place of peace.
Because as the evidence keeps accumulating, I become like that boat in that weird movie about tuna.
Perfect storm just going up and tipping over.
Tipping over. I don't like the Black Gate.
I fear the Black Gate.
I fear what's on the other side.
But I suppose you should face your fears.
I should walk through it knowing that I can come back.
But of course, the Black Gate feels like a one-way street.
Like with a tsunami coming, you don't sit there and say, well, I'll just swim back out and over it.
Hit me with a Y if you've gone through the Black Gate.
The Black Pill, as they call it.
Hit me with a Y if you've gone through the Black Gate.
Or if you're like, ah, one more Twitter post and we'll be free!
Hello darkness, my old friend.
I've come to talk with you again.
Because a vision softly creeping.
It is hopeless.
But is hopeless a bad thing if there is in fact no hope?
What's the Black Gate? Yeah, yeah, let me just rewind because you came up late.
You went there after the election?
I just observed Twitter now?
Not yet, but I'm walking towards it.
Well, I guess a lot of you guys are on the other side of the Black Gate.
Wow. Wow.
I'll have to mull it over.
I'll have to mull it over. Because reason and evidence pushes me towards the black gate.
But I'm concerned that if I go through the black gate, reason and evidence will be meaningless because it won't apply to most people.
Reason and evidence don't matter to most people.
Steph is black-pilled and pissed.
Well, I'm pissed because of the hope, right?
The hope and the anger are two sides of the same coin.
And the black gate just says, oh, come on through.
You can let go of all of that stuff.
Give up your hope. You give up your anger.
You live in peace. And you make sensible preparations for the inevitable transition.
People who are using red accept that, but you can't change.
I'm really appalled.
I agree with that, Steph.
I feel the lack of logical thinking since flirting with the gate.
Reading Nietzsche doesn't help. Is the black gate death?
No, black gate.
The black gate is recognizing that society is the reverse of everything that it claims.
Society is the complete and utter reverse of everything that it claims, which makes society evil because in order to be evil, you must have knowledge of the good.
In other words, if you can present yourself as good, Then you know what goodness is.
But if you present yourself as good in order to do evil, you are truly evil because you can't claim ignorance of the good.
Right? I mean, if somebody dresses up as a cop to commit a crime, he can't say he had no idea that being a cop would be a good cover for a crime.
He can't say that people might give him deference if he was a cop because he dressed up as a cop because he knows the power of the police uniform, which makes what he does even worse.
So when people say, we really care about access to health care, we really care that the poor people and everyone gets access to health care, and then the government in Ontario shuts it down for over a year, still charges you for it and bars you from getting it anywhere else and locks you in the province.
And people are like, yeah, it's fine.
There's some greater good bullshit, right?
then they know how important health care is and they don't care that it's gone, which meant that they never cared about it in the first place.
The Black Gate is recognizing that everything that society says to you is gaslighting so it can take from you.
Thank you.
So when I was growing up, I'll tell you a story.
So when I was growing up, I was told over and over and over and over again, I was told that That being in an abusive relationship was really bad.
That if you were a woman and you were married to an abusive guy, you had to get out!
And society had to support you and care about you, and it was going to be essential for your own growth.
And even, even, even if the relationship wasn't abusive, but you were just kind of, oh, I don't know, just kind of dissatisfied.
I watched, literally, when I was a kid, the movie Kramer vs.
Kramer came out, Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep.
And I paid, when I was broke-ass, I paid three times to go and watch that movie in the theater.
There were no VCRs, or you couldn't watch stuff at home.
And why did I... Because I'm like...
I was literally trying to...
My brain was cracking.
Because I was like, oh my god.
Dustin Hoffman, okay, he works pretty hard.
And... He can be a little impatient and so on.
And Meryl Streep is so hysterically horrified by her marriage that she says, I have to leave you because if I don't, I'm going to throw myself out of a window.
I will kill myself if I stay with you.
But he wasn't abusive.
He wasn't abusive.
He didn't hit her. He didn't drink.
He didn't have substance abuse problems.
He didn't have affairs. Yeah, he worked a lot.
Well, because they lived in New York, I think, and all of that, right?
So he had to work a lot. And I was watching that movie.
And she, what, did she get an Oscar?
It was considered to be a great movie.
Because she's, you know...
Just kind of unhappy. Like Hedda Gabler style, right?
So Hedda Gabler, there's this play.
It's a really terrifyingly powerful play.
Boy, because if you want to ever destroy a society, infect the women in that society with discontent for what is a pretty great life.
Infect them with discontent and your society will unravel from the bottom up.
And in the play Hedda Gabler...
This woman is discontented and upset and angry and frustrated and never any particular cause or any reason.
Why? Oh, stodgy bourgeois, blah, blah.
I mean, the women in the 1950s had the best life on the planet in America, Canada.
In the 1950s, women had the very best life on the planet.
They had lots of money. They had great communities.
They had lots of kids. They had lots of love.
And, of course, the communists had to come along and say, well, the 50s were way too stodgy and we had to go and get sex, drugs, and rock and roll to the 60s because otherwise the 50s was a shining example of what was possible in a society and a huge repudiation of communism.
So in Hedda Gabler, she's got this...
I knew a woman like this once too.
I knew a woman. She was married.
And this is the story she told me.
She said, oh yeah, my husband and I went to the Netherlands.
And I'm sitting in a cafe and chatting with my husband.
And, you know, I love him and we have a good life together.
But this guy, this guy walked by the window.
And you know, he didn't even look at me, but I looked at this guy and I just knew that he was the guy for me.
Now, of course, I didn't get up.
I didn't say anything. I just sat there frozen.
And ever since then, ever since I saw that guy walking past the cafe, ever since then, I just don't feel as in love with my house.
I don't feel as in love with my life.
I feel like there's something missing.
I should have done something. I should have jumped up.
I don't know what I would have done, but I should have done.
Okay, great. You saw one guy walking past a cafe and now your life is crap and that's it.
Your marriage is doomed, right? That's it.
That's it. And in Head of Gobbler, this guy says, why do you live in this house?
Oh, I was with the guy who was going to become my husband.
He was just driving me around and I had nothing to say to the guy.
I'm just so bored. I have nothing to say to the guy.
And then out of desperation because I got nothing to say to the guy, I just say, oh, I love that house.
I've always loved that house, right?
And he's like, well, if you love that house, I'm going to go and get you this house.
So I ended up living in this house because I was so bored and had nothing to say and mentioned something about loving this house.
And my guy became my husband, went out and bought this house, and that's why I live here.
This is a cathedral to my own boredom.
Well, I wrote about a woman like this in my novel almost.
Her name is Wendy. Discontented.
Discontented. For no particular reason.
And then, oh, well, but it's so restrictive because of the patriarchy and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
It's all complete and total nonsense.
All complete and total nonsense.
So... So when I was a kid, I heard, you've got to get out of relationships, even if you're just a little discontented, even if you feel that you could be more, or you feel that there's some wonderful thing that's out there.
My mom was the same way.
My mom was like, I'm going to write a book.
I'm going to write books.
I'm going to write a book called One Woman Century about the story of my life, and it's going to be a bestseller, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Meanwhile, this is a woman who thought it was a great insight when there were some hair shampoos It says, the rest wash is cleaned away.
She actually wrote a letter to the manufacturer saying, you probably don't want to say that the rest wash is cleaned away because it sounds like you're just throwing away shampoo.
What a genius intellectual.
But she had this belief.
It's true of a lot, and I'll get to the point of this in a second, right?
But, so a lot of women, they just, I don't know, like they think, oh, I could be like Jennifer Lawrence, I could be like Sandra Bullock, I could be like whoever, right?
Oh, red carpet, people taking photos, and they, who are you wearing?
I knew, I shouldn't laugh, I knew a woman who wanted to be an actress, and she actually worked on an airplane, she was a purser, she wanted to be an actress, and She got chatting to one of the passengers on the plane who turned out to be an agent in Hollywood.
And she said to my friend, she said, oh, the agent said, you know, if you want to be an actor, you know, you've got close-ups on the big screen.
You've got to straighten your teeth a little, right?
So this woman then spent a year.
She went to orthodontist. She got, like, her teeth straightened to this, that, and the other.
And then she flies out to Los Angeles.
She goes to this agent. She says, okay, I fixed my teeth.
Our agent says... Oh, yeah, I think I remember you.
Oh, you're from the plane, right?
Yes, I fixed my teeth. I'm ready for my close-up.
What now? Do you have a resume?
Do you have headshots? Do you have any acting experience?
Do you have any videos? Do you have anything?
Well, no, but I fixed my teeth.
And the woman's like, well, I... I'm not casting your teeth.
You've got to be able to act. Like, go and do some community theater.
Go see if you like it. Go see if you can connect with the audience.
Go see if they like you. Go see if you get standing ovations.
Do that kind of stuff. And then maybe come back to me, right?
Which is just, I could be an actress.
I knew another woman. I could be a movie maker.
Really? You're going to be a movie maker, are you?
That's a pretty tough gig, man.
You've got to work really hard to get that, right?
I mean, James Cameron went from truck driver to avatar guy, right?
But, yeah, discontentedness.
You could just be so much more.
You could just be... And it's always vague, and you never really act on it.
Just this general discontentedness that jumps from woman to woman worse than COVID. So the reason I'm saying all of this is when I was a kid, I watched the movie Kramer vs.
Kramer three times in the theater, thought about it kind of obsessively for a couple of months.
And the message I got was, even if you choose the relationship, you just choose the relationship.
If you're just not that happy, if you're just discontented, not only could you get out, you should.
You should just get out.
And then there's always this fantasy, right?
The woman, she's 45, she leaves her boring and stodgy husband and she ends up with some sculptor in his 20s down in the bohemian section of town and she lives in his loft and she has wonderful sex with him and they grease each other up with clay and then she learns how to paint and she opens a gallery and then she moves to the Mediterranean.
It's always this stuff that doesn't ever happen.
Never happens. She runs away from her marriage because she got lured into the siren song of discontent.
The little anglerfish dangled the discontent.
Her 40s swallowed her up and she found out, you know, funny story.
A lot of really hot young sculptors who've got abs and great hair, not really interested in women in their late 40s.
Just doesn't really happen.
Author, author? Yeah, I have seen that.
And isn't there one, oh, the woman who talks about the war, and she leaves some dull, mean husband, and she ends up with a wonderful restaurant.
She runs a restaurant on the Mediterranean, in Greece or something like that, right?
So I was continually told all the time, hey, if you're just not happy in a relationship, just get out.
Just get out. Burn your bridges.
Just get out. And you'll be better for it.
Meryl Streep got a great job.
She made a lot of money. It was fantastic.
She abandoned her child.
But... That doesn't matter.
Turns out, oh, and then she gets some wonderful job.
She ends up making more than the guy who's been in the business world for like 15 years.
Oh yeah, sure, because that's what happens.
If you're just some woman who stays home and then you just jump into the business world, within a couple of months you can make more money than some guy who's been in the business world for 15 years.
So, that's what I absorbed.
This is what society told me.
If you're not happy in a relationship, that you chose.
That you chose.
Just get out. So then, you know, I become a podcaster and a fairly popular and significant one.
And people call me up and say, my parents were abusive.
And I say, well, you know, you don't have to stay in that relationship.
If your parents are abusive, I would say talk to them, try and work it out, engage with a therapist.
But yeah, if they're abusive to you and they keep putting you down and they're wrecking your life, you don't have to stay in that relationship.
Now, that's way, way, way less than anything that was in Kramer vs.
Kramer. And Kramer vs.
Kramer was universally praised.
She's finding herself.
She's becoming self-actualized.
She's becoming an independent woman.
She's not under the thumb of this mean garden gnome with kiss curls.
Yeah, the mother in Bridges of Madison County.
Well, she didn't resist the option because she still had the affair.
Because, you know, a lot of women in the backcountry in Madison County make jokes about splitting the atom the moment they meet some guy.
Oh, and this was the perfect affair, right?
The perfect affair. It's Clint Eastwood, who's a gorgeous guy, works out like crazy, and is in bucket loads of charisma.
So it's Clint Eastwood.
The husband never finds out.
And Clint Eastwood never comes back, and he never expects anything.
And they just bang all weekend, and then he vanishes.
It's a complete fantasy. A complete fantasy.
I've never understood this finding yourself.
You want to find yourself? Look fucking down.
There you are. Oh, look!
I found myself. Look at that.
I can see my... Feet!
There I am! I've got to fight myself.
No, it means that you want self-indulgence.
It means that you don't want to have any standards, you don't want to have any rules, and you just want to nihilistically follow your dopamine and have everybody else pay the price for it.
So... So society said a couple of things to me when I was growing up.
The feminist said, hey, if you're in a relationship and the guy puts one foot wrong, is discontented, is not attentive...
It's not attentive. Like there's this Judy Blume was this kid's novelist and she wrote a book called Wifey that I read in my teens where this woman marries this guy.
He's a pretty decent guy, but it's just this dodgy bourgeois stereotype, right?
And when they get married, he says, the husband says, you know, I'm getting married to you.
I'm committed to you. I love you.
I don't have to say this all the time.
I'm not just going to keep telling you I love you because I'm there and I'm committed.
You just can assume it. And then she's like, but he never tells me that he loves me.
She knew that going into the marriage and he's still there.
He's still committed, still paying the bills.
She's like, but he never tells me.
And she ends up going off with some other dude, right?
Just goes off some other dude.
Why? Or Erica Young's Fear of Flying, The Zipless Fuck.
It was like the perfect sex where the zipper never gets stuck and nobody wobbles when you bang against the wall and all of that.
Perfect directions, perfect lubrication no matter what.
And just in search of this...
Zipper's fuck was like this very big thing.
It's a very big thing. Just hedonism, right?
If it's not good for you, if it doesn't work for you, man, if it's not your thing, just get out!
So society said, we really, really care about children.
Child abuse is a terrible thing.
And if you're in relationships that aren't really working for you, that you're kind of discontented, just get out.
Be liberated. Be free.
Baby! And that was one of my first biggest red pills doing this show was then I said to people who were being abused by their parents.
They were adults being abused by their parents.
And I said, I remember very clearly one show that got me into trouble.
I said to the guy, he said, I can't leave.
He was an adult living with his parents.
He said, I can't leave. And I said, no, you can.
If the house was on fire, you could leave.
I said, I'm not telling you you should leave.
I'm just saying that it's physically possible for you to do so.
That was it. That was it.
I wasn't saying get out.
Join me on Virgin Island where we keep entire silos of stacked up fertility women.
I was just pointing out a physical fact.
You can leave. I'm not saying you should.
I'm just saying you physically can.
And then I'm just a cult leader, right?
So this These waves of the Black Gate, right?
That society only promotes values, only promotes virtues in order to exploit you.
The thief only promotes property rights so you'll gather property that he can steal.
The woman only promotes monogamy so that she can cheat on you and be less suspicious.
That all of the moral claims of society are mere covers for the subterfuge and pickpocketing of hypocrisy.
Woo! All right, let me get my second rant out.
This will be a lot shorter and I appreciate your attention and care in this manner.
Let me get to my second rant here.
Stacked ladies, yeah, I guess so, right?
All right. Some of you will get this.
I'm absolutely positive. Quick question.
Whose mental health suffered the most during the pandemic?
Whose mental health suffered the most during the pandemic?
Anybody. Bueller, Bueller, anybody.
Well, you can't fix it. That's the black gate.
The black gate is you can't fix it.
Therefore, you don't have to hate it anymore.
If you yell at the clouds, you'll be forever frustrated at the rain.
If you accept that the clouds operate independent of your consciousness, then you can accept the rain without getting angry at it, right?
So you have to...
The Black Gate says move most people from the realm of free will to the realm of automaton or NPC, and you will gain peace of mind, truth, and accuracy thereby, right?
All right. So here we've got some answers.
Oh, women. Single women.
Children. Millennial women.
Women. Women. White liberal women.
Children. White women. Children stuck with crazy parents.
Yeah, that's bad, right? Single women.
Single mom liberals. Single moms have suffered the most.
Okay. So, here's the data.
Here's the data. This is what's going on.
When it comes to how people across the country have rated their mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic, the most concerning findings are reported by one group.
The dictatorship is upset.
Oh yeah, white liberal women, more than half of them have been diagnosed with mental illness.
Now whether it's crazy people who end up as liberals or liberalism makes people crazy is six of one, half a dozen of the other.
But yeah, men die more and commit more suicide.
Men die more from COVID. But you see, the problem is that women are upset about COVID and that's what we're going to write about.
Men dying, it's not even a footnote.
Women being upset, front page news, right?
According to new survey results, older women suffered the sharpest decline in how they perceived their mental health from April 29 to December 2020.
It was the end of last year. Give me some numbers and I'm going to ban the 69 guy if you do it again just because you need a new joke.
What percentage of women aged 65 or older consider their mental health to be excellent or very good at the start Like, I guess, at the beginning of the pandemic, right?
What percentage of women aged 65 or older consider their mental health to be excellent or very good?
What do we get? Give me some guesses, brothers.
666%. 95%.
95%.
38%.
Okay, so we're kind of all over the place here.
40, 60, 35, 25, 30.
All right. So the number is 73%.
73% of women aged 65 or older consider their mental health to be excellent or very good at the start of the public health crisis.
Okay, so we got 73%.
Almost three-quarters of women say mental health is excellent or very good.
Now, from April 2019 to December 2020, right, so before the start of the pandemic, To the end of last year.
What's that number go? Two.
From 73% to what?
73% to what?
Now, I know this is self-reporting, but, you know, it's the only data that we have, right?
So it went from 73% to what?
Over the course of this time.
From the beginning of the pandemic to the end of last year.
We got a 35, 56, 55, 50, 73, down to the 30s, 20%.
All right. All good guesses, except for the 90, because it wouldn't go up, obviously, over the course of the pandemic.
But anyway, so it dropped from 73% down to 40%.
It went from 73% of women 65 or older, saying mental health is actually not very good, down to 40%.
Now, what were the numbers for men?
Men, men, men, men, men.
Men went from what number, right?
So women went 73 down to 40.
Men went from 74 to what?
Sorry, whoops, I gave one of those away.
So men went from 70.
So men were slightly happier than women at the beginning of the pandemic.
What number did it go to?
Women went 73 down to 40.
Men went from 74 to what?
What do we got? I know there's a little bit of a delay, right?
Men went from 74 to 60.
Men stayed at 74.
We got a 60. 74 to 55.
Ooh, that's good. That's good.
All right. So what happened was men dropped from 74% to 56%, right?
So women went 73% down to 40%, right?
And men went from 74% to 56%.
So men did not get harmed nearly as much.
Now, of course, older women, what they do is they socialize, right?
They get together for bridge. They get together for chitchats.
They have stitching bitches. They do all of this kind of stuff, right?
They have hen parties and so on, right?
And they can't do that, right? They can't do that.
Now... Before the pandemic...
Okay, get ready with your typing numbers here, right?
Appreciate you guys' feedback. Before the pandemic, among those aged 18 to 29, what percentage of women rated their mental health as fair or poor?
So remember, for older women, it was 73% considered their mental health to be excellent or very good, right?
So we've got, what, 27% Low, right?
So, among those aged 18 to 29, what percentage of women rated their mental health as fair or poor?
50%, 38%, 50%.
All right.
Yeah, that's not bad, not bad.
65%, 50%, 80%.
Right, okay. So, 50% of women rated their mental health as fair or poor.
Before the pandemic. Now, what percentage of young men rated their mental health as fair or poor, right?
So 50% of women, 18 to 29, that's way higher, of course, than the older women.
What percentage of men rated their mental health as fair or poor?
We got a 50. We got a 33%, a 60%, 80%, we got a 30%, 62%, a bit scattergram, right?
So, 27% of young men rated their mental health as fair or poor versus 50% of young women.
Well, isn't that fascinating?
So, Older women are far happier than younger women.
And let me... Sorry, I just wanted to check, see if they had the numbers for younger women post-pandemic.
I don't think they did here.
You can find this on the Star.com, Toronto Star.
I don't think that...
I think they only tested the older women.
But you can imagine, of course, that the younger women, it got much worse, right?
It got much worse than the...
So...
Here's my second rant. Are you ready?
It's going to be pretty damn short.
So ladies, how much suffering are you going to have to go through before you start questioning liberalism, feminism, leftism as a whole?
Half of you feel nuts.
Half of you feel miserable.
Half of you, 18 to 29, these are the glory years and the glory days of youthful femininity when you're at the height of your intellectual, physical and sexual powers.
This should be a time where you are climbing mountains of joy and happiness and bliss and weddings and babies and whatever.
How much misery is it going to take before you pull back from this crazy, blue-haired, post-modernist scheme of the disassembly of femininity?
How much pain does it take for you to change course?
How committed are you?
Like, are you like a fucking bobsled team?
You can't get out because you'll die on the ice chute?
Like, what the hell? How much pain is it going to take for you to reevaluate and say, huh, isn't that interesting?
Ever since the leftists took over the cultural institutions and inflicted the cold-ass Indiana Jones bullwhip of feminism on our asses, decade after decade after decade, we're getting more and more and more and more and more unhappy.
Misery. Misery.
Misery. Misery. Misery.
Escalation. Escalation.
Escalation. Misery. Mental illness.
Unhappiness. Discontentedness.
A feeling of being used.
Walks of shame. Hypergamy.
Loneliness. Isolation.
Lack of love. Lack of children.
Future invisibility to society.
Y'all are ghosts being banished by time!
Women call their pets fur babies now.
You know, when I was a kid, having imaginary friends was considered kind of crazy when you got over four years old.
For women, having imaginary babies is one of the most tragic condemnations of modern society that can possibly be imagined.
It's like when you look through, if you're ever at the supermarket, right, and you look through these tabloid magazines.
I find them quite fascinating.
And you flip to the back of these tabloid magazines.
And like a fucking nail in the coffin of our dying society, you can buy, if you're an old woman, you can buy lifelike grandbaby zombies.
They feel real to the touch.
If you get the right battery, they can almost look like they're breathing.
You can get fake grandchildren made of rubber.
I mean, those rubber zombie kids, not going to be taking your name, not going to be transmitting your cultural values, not going to be taking care of you in your old age.
But how sad, pitiful, and horrifying is it that we've got women in their 70s ordering fake rubber grandbabies to cuddle?
Oh my God!
Realistic baby dolls for couples are popular in Germany.
you Thank you.
You know, how much pain is it going to take for us to change course?
Now, ladies, you've been trained not to listen to men, so maybe you'll have to come up with this yourself.
But how much pain does it take?
It's a genuine question. How much pain does it take?
How long Does your hand have to be on that stove before you pull it away and say, you know what?
That really is painful and it's going to destroy my hand.
I knew a couple. Oh my God.
I worked with a woman many years ago and her husband was really into the music, the same kind of music that I was into.
We would go to concerts sometimes and so on.
And I went to their house.
First time I went to their house. Nice dinner.
Great conversation. Lots of fun.
And... I'm like, oh, gotta hit the washroom, right?
I get up. I turn the corner.
I almost had a fucking heart attack because in the corner of the house by the bathroom was a little girl who looked like she was hiding with her face up against the wall.
You know, like she was playing hide-and-seek but badly like a little kid would.
Like, I can't see you. You can't see me.
Oh, my God. Almost gave me a heart attack because I'm sitting there like we're chatting and there's this kid hiding in this darkened hallway upstairs the whole time.
We're just down there chatting.
holy I'm gonna shit my pants they never had kids because they had the fake stuff with goof feathers hide and go seek zombie kid in the hallway God it's horrible
a woman got raped by refugees and refused to report it to police because it made refugees look bad Yeah, like, I mean, there was a guy whose daughter was killed by refugees and he's still like, I'm still totally behind it.
Like, oh my God. Like, what the hell is wrong with people?
I mean, largely whites.
What the hell is wrong with the whites?
I mean, God. I mean, this is pathological beyond all sense and reason.
All sense and reason. It probably was a ghost.
That's a nice thought.
How many women become obese because they're mimicking pregnancy?
I think a lot. Why don't older women adopt?
Hmm.
I mean, adoption is a fine thing, but it's not what we're wired for.
Cats will exploit a woman's desire to care for children with an almost virus-like effect.
Yeah, my daughter likes some of these funny videos that you can see online, like funny pet videos and so on.
And the women talking to the dogs as if the dogs have anything other than a pea-sized brain that's looking to mate and eat.
Yeah, I get it. Darks bond.
Ooh, wow, wonderful.
You managed to pair bond with an animal that only exists by pair bonding.
Ooh, good for you. Of course, most people want pets because they're terrified of being judged by humans, right?
They have nothing of value to offer a human being, but they can give food to a trapped animal and feel like they're just so necessary to society and life.
Women fill the baby hole with Hagen-Dazs.
Yeah. Yeah, you know, the whole reason that men want to have sex with women is so you'll give us babies in cultural continuity, right?
Hey, Steph, do you believe women's only agency is their sexuality, so they obsess over it?
No. See, here's the thing, right?
Like, I mean, I know you've all grown up with a whole bunch of e-thoughts and stuff like that.
So when I was growing up, my mother was beautiful and slender, and men just drooled over her and dated her, which gave me a huge amount of contempt for men.
It's like, dude... I know who she is, and you're not here for her virtues or her qualities.
I know about the holes in her soul.
You're only here for the holes in her body.
But here's the thing.
I had a counterexample, which I'll forever be grateful for, which was my father's sisters.
My father had a bunch of sisters, all very solid women, sensible women.
They didn't wear a lot of makeup.
They were fine working with their hands.
They had manual labor around the gardens and the farms, very sensible, solid women.
You know, the kind of women who are going to show up in My Three Sons or The Famous Five from Edith Blyton.
I like my dog, though.
He's a good boy. No, I'm not.
I like dogs, too.
I think they're fine.
I have no problem with dogs.
You know, I don't run society, but if I was, and this is why I won't, I'd be tempted to say, you can get a dog after you have a kid.
But you can't get a dog instead of a kid.
Sorry, that's just not how society can continue.
And of course, if your parents had had a dog instead of a kid, you wouldn't be here to end the family line that's gone on for about three billion years.
You selfish, selfish people.
Do women believe that sexuality is their only agency?
No, it's that if you were an average-looking guy and you inherited $10 million, would you be tempted to flash a little wealth in order to gain attention from women?
Well, of course you would be.
I mean, Muhammad Ali might fantasize, as he did, oh, I'm going to go down the street just dressed in blue jeans and a T-shirt, and I'm going to find some woman who doesn't even know who I am, and I know she's not going to be with me for the fame or the money— No, you don't get to meet J-Lo if you're not Ben Affleck, right?
So, we don't know what it's like.
I don't. I mean, maybe some men do, I guess.
Like, I went to high school with some guys whose father was fantastically rich, and they both got Corvettes for their 16th birthday, and I went to their house to rehearse a play that I'd written with them that we'd put on for the school about bullying, or not bullying, and the house just went on forever.
It's like this honeycomb of infinite beauty, and everything was tastefully appointed.
The house just... Crazy fountains in the back and big driveways in the front and four car garages.
And it's like... And these guys, pretty good looking guys, not super smart or anything, but they would cruise around in their red convertibles.
And they got lots of attention, girls that way.
So if you were an average looking guy and you had $10 million, might you spend a little bit of it to get some flash, to get some bling, to get some, hey, got a lot of resources kind of thing?
It's like that creepy little dating trick where you go to an ATM and you rifle through the receipts of deposits until you come across some receipt that's got $50,000 or $100,000 or $200,000 in it.
Like, that's your balance.
And then you keep that in your pocket and you start chatting with some girl.
Maybe she's not that interested and you're like, hey, let me write down my number.
I got a piece of paper here.
Let me just write down my number and give me a call if you're interested, right?
And then you write down your number on the ATM receipt that says you got a quarter million dollars or a half million dollars or whatever it is, and you just wait for the call.
It's tempting. It's tempting.
I couldn't do any of that because my family was broke and I was broke, but I wasn't an average-looking guy, so it wasn't such a big issue.
So if you were an average-looking guy and you had $10 million in the bank, might you bling it up a little?
Might you show a little bit off of your resources to get female attention?
Well, of course you would. So women are born with $10 million.
They're just born with $10 million.
Sexual market value, very high for young women, not so high for young men, because young women are at their peak of their fertility, but young men are a long way from the peak of their earning, which usually happens in their 40s and 50s.
So, And see, the whole point of society in the past was to recognize that young women had near infinite power and to find some way to balance that out with the male lack of power.
The women have this massive power, unbelievable levels of power when they're young because 80% of women throughout history and evolution had kids, but only 40% of men.
So there was this massive competition for the fertility of women.
And the youth and beauty of women.
And society knew, of course, how unbelievably powerful that was for women.
And all of society, in terms of civilized society, has been trying to balance that out.
To give men some potential leverage for the massive sexual market value of young women.
And we used to have that deal.
We used to have chaperones.
It used to be no sex before marriage.
It used to be pair bonding.
It used to be until death do us part.
It used to be monogamy. And all of this was designed to kind of balance this stuff out.
Because the woman had to choose the man based upon his potential earnings, and the man had to choose the woman based upon her presumed fertility, and it was designed to benefit the welfare state and all that, sexual addiction, the pill and all that, it's all completely gone haywire.
And now, of course, the awesome power that women have from a biological reproductive standpoint has been united with their massive voting bloc and government power to the point where, when I say dictatorship, I'm not kidding.
I'm not kidding. Flashing cash works.
Everybody has seen the video where the guy is rejected and then he shows the Lambo and the women want him.
Well, they want the Lambo, right?
And that's just because women are there for the resources because children take huge amounts of resources and that's the reality, right?
There's nothing wrong with that. The phrase, you get what you feel you deserve in life, hunts me, hurts me because I don't know how to change my mind about myself.
Well, it's not your mind that's telling you you're not worthy.
It's not your mind. It's not your mind.
Like if somebody stabs you in the side, you don't sit there and say, well, my body just mysteriously decided to open up a hole in myself.
You don't own the wound, right?
You don't own the scar. That's owned by someone else.
It's the same thing when people put you down, say you're not worthy, say you're worth nothing, you're worthless, you're crap, you're nonsense, you know, you're ridiculous, you're foolish, you're clumsy, you're dumb, whatever people say to you.
That's not yours. You don't own that.
That's what other people own.
And you've got to, like... Anger is the antibody of the soul, right?
It's the immune system of the soul, right?
You want your immune system to get really pissed at infections and viruses and just kill them relentlessly.
And it's the same thing with people who have told you all these terrible things.
They're just wounds in your psyche that belong to other people and you push it back to them.
You own that. It's not about me.
It was about you. That's projection.
Anybody who tells a kid that they're worthless is actually worthless, and the kid is not.
You just give that label back to them.
You don't own it.
It's not you.
Female sexuality is a superpower.
That's a beautiful thing.
As I've always said, women are delightfully incomprehensible.
I mean, I grew up somewhat afraid of women, and now I've been COVID-bound with two females for 14 months.
Wonderful. It's been great.
It's been great. I have higher sexual market value than my woman, but her levels of self-knowledge is high.
Someone I really want to do life with.
Well, sure. Yeah, of course.
Because having higher sexual market value doesn't help you in particular if you have kids and she takes you to divorce court.
Like I just did a call. You can find it at freedomain.locals.com.
I did a call last night with a guy who's facing prison because of his girlfriend.
Now I understand why lazy handsome guys end up in toxic relationships with obese women, overweight, ugly women.
Steph, what place does an infertile woman have in this world?
You've got a wonderful place in this world.
You have a wonderful place in this world.
First of all, you can help transmit values to the children around you, children within your family and your extended family.
You can do wonderful things like that.
You can create art, blog posts, videos, podcasts, anything that you want to help transmit cultural values and do a beautiful thing in the continuation of your society.
You can also talk your female friends out of pursuing this mind-shredding, soul-numbing, vagina-handing-out feminism to the point where they get absolutely wrecked as human beings.
Yeah, because women don't reach brain maturity until their early 20s, which is five years after their peak sexual market value, 18+.
It's like a friend of mine whose mother died.
He got $100,000 when he was a teenager.
He got $100,000 and he blew it on like Jeeps and computers and it's just like all stuff that lost value, right?
Lost value. Yeah, infertile women can adopt as well.
Yeah, that's true. That's true.
All right. So yeah, you guys tell me.
How much pain is it going to take?
Women are being driven mad, insane, crazy by modern society.
Women have had catastrophic falls in happiness, levels of contentedness, mental health, joy, bonding, security.
How much suffering is there going to be?
And how could the older women let this happen to their younger sisters?
The older women who are pretty three-quarters great, happy, even though I'm 65 plus, you know, past your sexual market value, and you're old and you've got health issues, right?
You're three-quarters happy with all of that stuff, and how the hell did you let this happen to the young women?
My God. Oh, the sisterhood.
We're there for each other. No, you're not.
You're taxing the shit out of these young women and letting toxic ideologies overrun any estrogen defenses they might have against bottomless misery and being used like a fur glove by the sexual habits of our selected sex addict men.
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter. No pain will change it.
I don't know. How long did it take women in the Soviet Union?
Yeah, I remember that New York Times article Mike Cernovich and I talked about in the movie Hoaxed.
You should watch it. Hoaxedmovie.com.
Even more relevant now than when we made it a couple of years ago.
Hoaxedmovie.com. I closed that in a brilliant and powerful way.
I don't mind saying myself.
But we talked about this, what's it, New York Times article about what great orgasms women had under communism because they didn't have to worry about everything.
No, it ends.
It always ends, right? It always ends.
It always ends. They'll see it.
It's just probably going to happen after they hit the wall.
Well, see, but here's the thing, right?
So society will promote this youthful sex-in-the-city bullshit for women to destroy fertility, to destroy pair bonding, to destroy the transmission of cultural values, because you can spread cultural values or you can spread STDs.
That's really your only choice, right?
But then what happens is when the women get beyond a certain age, they just get beamed out.
They get yeeted out of society.
They're just ghost women.
They just don't exist anymore.
They just vanish, baby.
They're gone, baby, gone.
So, yeah, you won't see it, right?
You don't see them. But yeah, nothing.
Cave allegory was awesome.
Yes, thank you. Appreciate it.
What if women's weaknesses are just a reflection of men?
Stop jerking after porn and things will get better.
Well, that certainly would help.
You bought Hoax on iTunes.
Yeah, yeah. Didn't they take it away on Amazon, right?
It's kind of hard for a girl to know how to pick a guy when she was raised by a single mom.
Yes, I suppose so, but that's what self-knowledge and philosophy is all about, right?
All right. Listen, guys, really appreciate that.
Sorry about the technical delays at the beginning.
You'll hear this. The final version will sound a lot better than the one online, although the one online seems to be doing all right.
