	To heck with the intro.
	Let's just get straight on it.
	Today is the 22nd of March, 2023, and I am here for you, my friends.
	Here is...
	Let's just get straight to the questions.
	Just hit me with your questions as fast as you want, as often as you want.
	I will do my very best to ninja them like absolute mad.
	Hey Steph, you've mentioned having morning rituals for death or breakups slash divorces.
	Just wondering if you had a few you can throw at me.
	What have I done with regards to breakups and divorces?
	I think just letting yourself feel sad.
	You know, that there's this kind of myth in the world, like, oh, you don't want to wallow in emotion.
	So there's this old Aristotelian argument.
	About catharsis, right?
	So when you're feeling really sad, if you go and see a tragedy, then you purge yourself of your sadness.
	That's not very true.
	It's not very true. It's not like if you're feeling existential angst and
	You listen to a lot of goth dark music that you're just gonna start to feel better
	It does so this idea that you purge your feelings by surrounding yourself with whatever provokes your feelings
	And it's just a it's wrong. This is incorrect At the same time though, I mean I do remember when Princess
	Diana I remember very clearly when Princess Diana died This is very much early on in the days of the internet
	And I remember the first thing I did was I went online because I saw it on the news, heard it on the radio.
	And I went online because I wanted to track how long it was going to take for online news to get it.
	And back then, online news was very laggy.
	And now, of course, online news often will get it first or before anything else.
	So when Princess Diana died...
	The mental health of women in the UK, and I guess other places, but the UK, England in particular is where they measured it.
	The mental health of women after the death of Princess Diana was incredibly robust.
	It really helped. Rates of depression and anxiety really cratered.
	Rates of institutionalization really cratered.
	The death of Princess Diana...
	Why significantly improved the mental health of British women?
	Which is pretty wild, right?
	Do you have any theories as to why?
	Why do you think the mental health of British women improved significantly after the death of Princess Diana?
	Alright, let me just get to the newer part of the chat to check that one out.
	But we can do that. We can certainly do that.
	We can do that. Why?
	Why? Why did you take off my word wrap?
	Oh, Windows, you are so very playful.
	It's like every single app is like, I think I'm going to change your audio to some Oculus headset you plugged in six months ago, or maybe XSplit sound processor.
	I'm just going to do that. All right.
	Let me just get through the questions here.
	I'll go down, come back up.
	Boogie in the butt, butt, butt, boogie in the butt.
	Yes, I'm not going to rap. All right.
	What's up, Steph? You see Crystal Palace signed Roy Hodgson as their new manager.
	Oh, wow, he retired from Super Tramp.
	That's cool. They were all jealous.
	One less monarch. No luck comparing themselves.
	Lower standards. Steph's going to rap.
	So, no, the reason...
	The reason why...
	The reason why the mental health of women in England improved after the death of Princess Diana was that they grew up.
	So you know this women's fantasy, it's all over the place, right?
	The prince is going to just come in and take her away from her drudgery and her problems and everything's going to be wonderful and someday my prince will come, says the guy outside Black's Photography in 1982.
	When Princess Diana died, what died was the fairy tale ending.
	I mean, for those of you who are younger than me, and I'm guessing that's a slight majority of you out there.
	So for those of you who are younger than me, you have no idea.
	Like, it literally was Princess Diana, the people's princess, Princess Diana.
	It was a fairy tale wedding she had.
	I mean, you couldn't get a better wedding than Princess Diana and Charles.
	Prince Charles. Like, you could not get...
	She was gorgeous.
	The gown was beautiful.
	It was, of course, the most important church in all of England, and you had royalty there.
	You could not get a more candy-coated, syrupy kind of...
	This dreamscape for a woman.
	Every woman in her heart, you know, the pictures of Princess Diana at that wedding, kissing the prince, radiantly happy, beautifully quaffed, page boys pulling her train and all that.
	This is a different thing than what you think of as far as U.S. police people go.
	I mean, it was literally a dream come true.
	This was woman's deepest and most powerful fantasy that...
	She is young and she's beautiful and innocent and charming and she's wooed by an older prince, maybe slightly less juggier as a whole, but yeah, she's wooed by an older prince and magic happens and she's married and they lived happily ever after, right?
	This is the fantasy that women have, right?
	And then the way that Princess Diana, her life played out, she was bulimic, she was suicidal, she threw herself down the stairs, she was depressed, she was anxious, massive mental health crisis, she gets divorced, she ends up dating Dodi Fayyad who produced, Chariots of Fire, I think. And, you know, ended up dying like a dog in a tunnel, being chased by the...
	Like, the people consumed her.
	The people's princess consumed her.
	The people consumed her.
	They ate her whole. Because they were so hungry for photos of her.
	And people got...
	You could get paid literally a million dollars for an important photograph of Princess Diana.
	So women were obsessed with her because she represented a fantasy.
	That you are young, you are slender, you are beautiful, you are wealthy, you get married to a legit prince, and that's the pinnacle of human happiness, right? The pinnacle of human happiness for women is that scenario, and we can make fun of it if we want, I get that, but I mean, that's basic hypergamy, right?
	So, I mean, men want beauty and brains all together, right?
	I still remember watching a movie, not a very good movie, called The Fisher King.
	And in it, there was a beautiful woman reading Nietzsche.
	And I was like, I still remember this, like 30 years later.
	Hot woman reading Nietzsche, right?
	So, yeah, the women, they have this fantasy about youth, beauty, wealth, fame, prince, marriage.
	Boy, you get that, man.
	You're just happy.
	I mean, that's the pinnacle.
	This is one of the reasons why she was so famous.
	It turns out her beauty, she had a severely traumatized childhood, Princess Diana, Diana Spencer.
	And how did she sustain her slender figure?
	Right? She was bulimic and she had severe health issues due to bulimia.
	She married into the royal family.
	Again, you think of this as a literal fairy tale.
	She married into the royal...
	I mean, I know she was aristocracy herself and all of that, but yeah, she married into the royal family and she hated it to the point where she got suicidal and threw herself down a flight of stairs trying to kill herself.
	And then she got divorced and she had just a series of pretty trashy, low-rent lovers, boyfriends, whatever, right?
	I think she had a fun evening out dressing up as a man with Freddie Mercury one night going to a gay bar, if I remember rightly.
	So women got to see how the fantasy plays out.
	This fantasy of youth and beauty and fame and money and prince and marriage and royalty.
	They got to see how it plays out.
	Their obsession with this woman killed her because she was being chased through the Paris tunnel by photographers dying to get a photo of her.
	I know that the Fayettes think that because she was dating a Muslim that the royal family killed her or whatever it is, right?
	No, I mean, I think, what do I know, right?
	But a photographer's killed her.
	The hunger of the people to live in the fantasy of her horrifying existence, like a mutant, horrifying existence.
	Can you imagine anything more ghastly and horrifying and horrible than being someone like Princess Diana?
	China. It's hell on earth and she very much said it was hell on earth and then was it
	a Pakistani reporter lied to her and fabricated a whole bunch of statements and got her to
	lie to her and fabricated a whole bunch of statements to get her to do this really catastrophic
	interview where she is as frail as a flower like a hibiscus on a wet bough just trembling
	in the wind just as frail as a flower as broken as a flower and then people's obsession with
	her got her killed because they were trying to get pictures to discuss you know women
	would buy magazines with a picture of Princess Diana on the cover.
	Like 40% more magazines would get sold if her picture was on the cover.
	People wanted to see the picture.
	They wanted to see that insane, I don't know, seems to be half bipolar, half borderline, trembling woman.
	And that famous hair, that whirlpool of blonde seduction, they wanted to see her with Dodie Fayette.
	And so they were accelerating in the Paris tunnel to get away from the paparazzi and they crashed and she died.
	So women were released from this fantasy for a certain amount of time.
	Being released from the fantasy, being released from delusion, being released from all of that is fantastic for your mental health.
	Giving up on illusions, giving up on delusions is fantastic for your mental health.
	Giving up on the fantasy that, you know, I mean, if being young, beautiful, talented, wealthy, and famous was enough, Marilyn Monroe wouldn't have died in the horrible way that she did, right?
	After she converted to Judaism for Arthur Miller or something like that.
	Anyway, so, yeah, so women's mental health, it's like...
	Princess Diana had everything that women pay untold billions of dollars to achieve.
	Princess Diana had everything that women pay, untold billions of dollars to achieve.
	She had the number one man on the planet.
	I mean, I know he's not super handsome or anything, but you know, he's the royal prince, the House of Windsor, right?
	She had youth. She had beauty.
	She had a great figure. She had a great face.
	She had great hair. She had the kind of fame that is incomprehensible.
	I mean, I've had little brushes for fame here and there.
	That level of fame, completely incomprehensible.
	You can't go anywhere. You can't do anything.
	She had everything that women thirst for.
	And she hated it.
	She hated it. It's like all the rock stars.
	You're a great singer, a great performer, and you've got money, and you're great looking, and a lot of them self-destruct.
	A lot of what we want, other people who have it desperately don't want it.
	It's a really important thing in life.
	You may look at somebody and say, oh my gosh, that's What a life, you know.
	Boy, they're beautiful, they're rich, they're famous, they're talented, whatever, right?
	Oh, fantastic. How many people who are beautiful, rich, famous, and talented want that life?
	I mean, they stay there, because once you become rich and famous enough, it's really hard to back out of it.
	But most of the people who have what you desperately want don't want it themselves.
	They don't want it themselves. And when you see that, You are released from the fantasy that you will be happy when you get things you can't get.
	I mean, I remember there was some movie with Michael Caine, gosh, countless years ago, and in it, there was a woman in it, a hairstylist, right?
	And the joke was, she pointed at a picture of Princess Diana, she said, I want to look like that.
	And she was some, you know, 60-year-old, potato-faced, lank-haired, greasy woman, right?
	So she's not going to look like that.
	She's not going to have that fine china bone structure and that great hair and those.
	She had this vulnerable, exquisite vulnerability, of course, Princess Diana, because, of course, she was hanging from a thread mentally, right?
	Such a terrible childhood.
	So it released women from the fantasy that if they got their heart's desire, which was to be Princess Diana, if they got that...
	Well, they'd be miserable.
	And Princess Diana was, to a large degree, miserable.
	Miserable. It was a horrible, horrible, horrible existence.
	You could not pay me enough money to live that kind of life.
	Absolutely horrifying. So it released women from their fantasy that if they were to get everything that they wanted, that they claimed they want, that they would be happy.
	Because Princess Diana got what every woman claims to want.
	And was unbelievably miserable.
	So I think grieving, sorry, back to the question, morning rituals for deaths or breakups.
	Be sad. Listen to sad songs, you know?
	Listen to Wonderland by Paul Young or whatever song is going to make you feel sad.
	You know, some stuff by Seal.
	It's pretty good. Love's Divine.
	Pretty good song for sadness.
	The Calling by Anderson Brufman-Wakeman and Howe.
	The wall. Maybe that's a little too dark.
	Thank you.
	.
	So, yeah. Wallow in your sadness.
	Be sad. Grieve.
	Prepare your heart. Turn the earth in your heart to prepare for new seed.
	But don't just stay there, right?
	You've got to train yourself out of the sadness.
	Let yourself go down.
	But get ready to bounce.
	be ready to bounce. All right. Let's do it like they do in the Discovery Channel.
	It's a pretty funny song.
	It's deaf breakup rule. It takes half the length of the relationship to get over it.
	I don't think that's not my rule, I think that's a fairly good rule of thumb as a whole.
	Alright, so let me get to your...
	sorry, scroll down here to your questions throughout childhood starvation was used as a punishment
	against me. I'm currently struggling to lose weight. Any advice?
	yeah I mean it's a tough, that's a tough thing man, I uh...
	I'm going to go to bed.
	Hit me with a why if you have like an up and down again relationship with sugar, let's say.
	Could be sugar, could be something else, right?
	Up and down. I have an up and down relationship with sugar.
	I'm like, I'm off it for a while and then, oh, you know, my, you know, I'm at some candy store with my daughter and I'll get a couple of like dark chocolate with raisins in it or almonds or something like that and I'll just absently munch them and then I'm like, oh, you know, that's not that great for me and Oh, you know, I'm just going to... So, I think it was just a couple of days ago, I'm like, you know what, I'm not a kid anymore.
	And I've got enough to eat.
	So, I just have...
	I mean, it's not keto, because I'm still eating carbs, though fewer.
	But I just, like, I'm not going to do refined sugar.
	I'm just... And I'm not a big refined sugar guy.
	Again, it kind of comes and goes for me, tied in, tied out.
	But I was just like, I think it was four days ago, I'm like, forget it.
	I'm just going to stop.
	Like, no more refined sugar. And I can tell you it's a little rough.
	It's a little rough.
	Man, it's a little rough.
	You know, a little headachy, sleeps a little light, and I get these sort of random crashes during the day, and, you know, I know my gut bacteria is rearranging.
	My gut bacteria is like, give us sugar!
	We'll punish you with a vague flu-y kind of feeling.
	I mean, I know I'm not sick or anything like that, but, yeah, it's a little...
	I've gone through this sort of detox, man.
	It's... It's pretty rough.
	And I've had it before, like, oh, I'll cut back or whatever, right?
	And again, I'm not a big sugar monster, but I've had it before, I'll cut back.
	But this, I'm just like, forget it, done.
	Like, I'm just not... And yeah, I'd like to keep this.
	You basically have to really...
	We're not designed for much change.
	Like, if you grew up hungry, generally, you would be hungry your whole life, right?
	Because you're at some place where there's food shortages.
	So we're not kind of designed to go from feast to famine or famine to feast and so on.
	So your body is just programmed to...
	You know, like when I was a kid, yeah, I was hungry.
	Man, I was hungry at times. I was hungry in boarding school because there were food shortages all over the place.
	I remember in boarding school, we used the little plastic cups, like teacups, all plastic, thick plastic teacups and no colors found in nature.
	And I remember very clearly...
	There wasn't enough water for everyone to have two cups.
	So you would have this choice, right?
	You'd have this choice where you would either gulp it down and then go and line up to get another cup of water or you'd just sip it slowly over the course of your dinner.
	And... But yeah, I remember being thirsty.
	I remember being hungry in boarding school because, you know, there's a lot of physical activity like rugby and soccer and so on.
	And I also remember when my mom, she was always trying to get some, you know, Prince Charming to take care of her.
	And so she'd go on these dates and sometimes she'd go.
	I remember she went to Houston one time.
	She went to Vancouver another time.
	And she just left me like, here's 20 bucks, kid.
	And she'd be gone for like a week or two.
	And I would run out of food.
	I could get hungry. So what do you do?
	Well, you just hang around. I remember I used to be able to go to the Don Mills Mall.
	There was a fish and chips place there.
	And for 10 cents, you could get a tub of batter.
	Like, just batter. That's it.
	And you'd mix ketchup into that.
	I remember being at the Science Center.
	No money. No lunch.
	And what you do is you get a bunch of crackers.
	And you get some ketchup and you make this weird soup out of that and you just eat it when no one's looking.
	It's just the kind of thing you do.
	And I remember when I was in school in England, we'd have to bring in 15 pence for lunch.
	And a lot of times they wouldn't have any, right?
	So they can't not give you food, so they would just say, we'll pay tomorrow and I'd have this running tab and all of that.
	And they would give you...
	It was kind of humiliating because you'd get a big thick elastic band if you'd paid your 15 pence for lunch.
	And... If you didn't have the elastic band, it meant that you hadn't paid, but they had to serve you anyway because they can't starve you.
	And so, yeah, it was kind of embarrassing to not have the rubber band and so on.
	And yeah, I remember when my mom would go away, I would...
	I just...
	What do you do? Well, you hang around friends' places and hope that they'll feed you some snacks or, you know, double plus good if you end up being invited for dinner, right?
	And then you just eat as much as you possibly can because you're not sure...
	So you have to kind of recognize that that phase in life is past, that you're older, that you don't have to eat like crazy because you're not in a feast or famine situation.
	So it's not particularly, you know, easy to do.
	But it is important to try and bring your unconscious up to the present rather than have it be conditioned by the past.
	Question for stream, following up on yesterday's stream around leg count question.
	Oh, body count. Boyfriend, 28 years, has had 21 partners.
	Wow. Girlfriend, 26 years, had 16 partners.
	What to discuss before getting engaged?
	What arrangements or resolutions to make?
	Is there such a thing as discussing past relationships too much?
	Yes. Yes, there is.
	Being out and going out for over a year.
	We knew from very early on that values match.
	Life isn't matches. Both want to have family.
	What? What? Sorry, I'm a little confused here.
	Let me just copy this.
	and sorry the question I guess there's a limit on what you can type in here
	let's see here sorry I'm
	It just took me down to the bottom.
	Okay, here we go, here we go. How would the death of Meghan Markle move the needle now?
	Just goes to show the most important decision, the most important decision you ever make in your adult life.
	Really, you don't really make that many decisions with kids.
	You just try and survive stuff, right?
	The most important decision that you make as an adult is who you get married to.
	Alright, the deep state got rid of Diana.
	No, I think it was just agreed to the people for pictures.
	Hi, Steph. How did those who are in...
	No, let me do this question. I don't know where the second part went.
	So, you've been going out for a year.
	You've both been pretty promiscuous, right?
	Girlfriend 26, 16 partners.
	Boyfriend 28, 21 partners.
	So, your values match.
	Okay, so your values before were basically sleep with everything with a pulse and half a heartbeat, right?
	It moves! Jump on it!
	Or for the girlfriend, it moves, trip it, fall underneath.
	So, before you are committed to hedonism and promiscuity, and look, I'm not judging, I'm just saying that this is an empirical fact based upon the body count, assuming that the body count is even true, it's probably higher for the girl, maybe lower for the boy.
	So you say, our values match.
	So I assume you've gone through some significant reformation about this, right?
	Because you were... Hedonistic frack toys, so to speak, and now you want to settle down and have a family.
	So we knew from very early on that values match.
	But they don't. Because if you're promiscuous and in it for the hedonism of the sex, which is incredibly destructive to yourself and society as a whole, and just, you know, again, no judgment, just sort of pointing it out.
	But what do you mean your values match?
	You're both extremely promiscuous, frankly.
	And so if your values match, does that mean that you're no longer promiscuous, that you had a revelation?
	Which is great. I think it's wonderful.
	I'm not complaining about that.
	I don't know what it means, though.
	Are values now matched? They didn't used to?
	Life vision matches? Okay, both want to have family.
	That's great. You need to figure out why you went for quantity over quality, right?
	Promiscuity is the junk food of nutrition.
	Tastes good in the moment, but screws up your health in the long run, right?
	It's a sign of a lack of impulse control, right?
	It's trashy. It's the sexual equivalent of obesity, which is a sign of a lack of impulse control for the most part.
	So what do you discuss before getting engaged?
	You have to figure out why you were so promiscuous.
	Why were you so promiscuous?
	I said, oh, well, it's the youth culture these days.
	It's like, no, it's not. Not all the youth culture.
	I know young people.
	They're not that promiscuous.
	And again, I'm not down on the promiscuity.
	I'm just sort of pointing it out that that level of promiscuity has rendered your pair bonding a challenge, right?
	And you've got to recognize that challenge or it's going to sneak up from behind and cudgel you in the back.
	So you've got to discuss...
	Forget the past relationships.
	They're not even relationships at that number for the most part.
	Just like, okay, why is it that we just went, you know, full mammal out, full base of the brain, full...
	Why did we keep having all these partners?
	Why were we compulsive? I mean, to me, this is almost the level of sex addiction.
	And again, maybe people are saying, oh, well, you know, but these numbers are common these days.
	It's like, no, they're certainly not ubiquitous, because again, I know young people who aren't doing this kind of stuff.
	So, again, sympathy, right?
	So you probably grew up single-parent households.
	You grew up maybe pornography addictions.
	You grew up in a hyper-sexualized climate.
	You grew up in a sort of narcissistic body-worship, number-worship climate.
	And, again, I have sympathy for that.
	You didn't invent all of the, you know, shitty culture that drags people down for the most part these days.
	So I have a lot of sympathy for that.
	I really do. But you've got to figure out what drew you to that, to get that validation from this sort of empty, meaningless, belly-slapping monkey sex, right?
	Which I guess sounds a lot more fun than it ends up being the next morning of the walk of shame, right?
	So figure out what happened in your childhood that had you go so R-selected.
	So junk food for sex, right?
	Life is and matches both want to have family.
	And look, I mean, before you get engaged, I mean, engagement is a very serious business where you say, we're now committed to each other.
	We're not breaking up until one of us is dead.
	And even then we're not breaking up, right?
	Like, that's what you say, right?
	Engagement is, like, barring anything really weird coming out over the next couple of months until we get married.
	And I think long engagements are just a way of postponing stuff, especially in your late 20s, right?
	You've got to... Got to settle down sooner rather than later.
	I mean, I had an engagement of a couple of months and got married, right?
	Why would you want to wait?
	So, the only thing you've got to say, really, is, okay, is divorce an option for you?
	Is divorce an option for you?
	Nope. Not an option.
	It's not on the table.
	It's not an option. I mean, that's the conversation you've got to have.
	And it's like, I mean, that's a deadly, deadly serious conversation.
	Is divorce an option?
	If somebody says, well, you know, if I'm unhappy enough, this, that, or the other, nope, okay, but I wouldn't marry somebody for whom divorce is an option.
	Why? Because if divorce is an option, divorce becomes a reality.
	If divorce is not an option, you just work it out.
	If divorce is not an option, you just work it out.
	If divorce is an option, you don't work it out because you can just get divorced.
	You've got to find a way to make it work.
	So that's the only fundamental conversation when you get engaged is, I'm not doing divorce.
	Like, whatever happens, I'm not divorcing you.
	I don't care. Like, whatever happens, I'm not divorcing you and that has to be a mutual commitment from both of you.
	Whatever happens, you're not getting divorced.
	It's the only way to make it work.
	It's the only way. Like, there's no plan B for that.
	There's no, well, you know, if we really get along...
	No, no, no, no, no. Because if you know you're not getting divorced, you just dig in and you work out whatever you need to work out.
	And you're there fully present and you put the work into the relationship because you don't have an escape hatch.
	You don't have a plan B. Good.
	You don't have a plan D called divorce.
	So... Having that level of, having that number of sexual partners in your past, and again I would scale up probably for the woman in particular, but having that, it's going to have messed with your pair bond in my opinion.
	I mean statistically, right?
	Statistically you guys are very likely to divorce.
	I mean just statistically, right?
	I mean divorce as we know is triple D, right?
	It's dick dose dependent for women, right?
	The more sexual partners a woman has, the more likely she is to divorce the man.
	Don't shoot the messenger.
	I've got a whole presentation called The Truth About Sex.
	You can go to fdrpodcast.com and you can get all the data on this.
	A woman who's got 16 partners is probably 70% likely to divorce you.
	Now, we're not machines.
	We're not dominoes.
	We have free choice. We have free will.
	So, it doesn't mean for sure.
	But you've got to work on those odds, right?
	So knowing that a woman with 16 partners is almost three-quarters going to divorce you, like 75%, 70%, 75% likelihood she's going to divorce your ass.
	How are you going to deal with those odds?
	Now, again, if she's done self-work, she's gone through the tragedy, the crater of self-esteem that leads a woman to hand herself out like Chip Dip at a frat party.
	Sorry, that was too harsh.
	My apologies. But whatever led her to, and the man too, but a little bit more, the data's around for the women.
	I don't know what the data is for the men.
	I think men can survive promiscuity a little bit better because it's not a vulnerable position.
	Because we are the penetrator, not the penetratee.
	So it's less of a vulnerable position for a man.
	So I think that we're able to survive promiscuity.
	Promiscuity a little bit better.
	Not hugely, but a little bit.
	Look, I'm sure she's a wonderful woman.
	Maybe she's done the work and she's gone to therapy and she's dealt with her childhood and so on, in which case, great.
	She is in, at 16 partners, she's in serious red flag territory.
	A woman who's a virgin, when you marry her, has a less than 5% chance of divorcing you.
	A woman who's had 16 partners is 70-75% likely to divorce you.
	And you do not, you do not, not, not want to go through a divorce, my friend.
	Oh my God, particularly if there are kids involved.
	You do not want to do it.
	I've never seen anybody put themselves back together again after a divorce.
	I mean, this is when I was younger, right, with the self-knowledge and philosophy and therapy and so on.
	Maybe it's more possible now, but I don't think so.
	It's really tough. So, yeah, it just has to be, like, divorce is not an option.
	Let's see here. Are there some additional techniques to get toxic parents out of your head besides little or no contact and surrounding yourself with great people and staying busy?
	Okay, if you've got truly toxic parents, what does it mean to say little or no contact?
	I don't understand what that means.
	Can I get healthy if I'm drinking little to no arsenic?
	Okay, how do I get healthy and stay vibrant and strong if I'm drinking little to no cyanide?
	Okay, there's a big difference between little cyanide and no cyanide.
	So you'll have to give me some more details on that.
	I don't understand what that means.
	Little to no doesn't mean anything to me.
	All right. Harry married his mommy.
	Megan was also in that and played victim with the royal family in high public high-profile interviews
	Yeah, it's it's all it's all too tragic what has happened to that messed up ginger
	I mean, I know he's an adult and he chose and so on, but it's such a distorted life.
	I mean, it's hard to get any kind of clear signals.
	Scott Adams has talked about suicide on Twitter once, I believe, and he's rich.
	Did he? He's had it pretty rough over the last couple of years, and I sympathize with that.
	I mean, some of it's his causality, and some of it is not, so I'm really...
	I sympathize with that.
	Does he have some kind of painful chronic health condition?
	Presumably from the vax. I don't think that he would have confirmed that it's from the vax.
	If it's from the vax, then my understanding is, I don't know for sure, but my understanding is that Scott Adams got vaxed because Christina Basham, his youthful pretty wife, his young pretty wife, wanted to go on a honeymoon and he wanted to travel and so on, and so he got vaxed for that, and then she, I think she left him anyway, so...
	Very sad. Alright, let me get to your...
	Thank you for your tips, by the way.
	If you would like to help out, if you would like to help out the show, you know, it's been an exciting couple of years.
	I'm still in here, punching above my weight.
	So, if you would like to help out, you can just send me a tip here and lift my spirits to the moon.
	I would really, really, really appreciate that.
	Bitcoin to a million dollars in 90 days.
	I don't think so.
	If I do eat refined sugar, I notice I'm super hungry for days.
	Oh, that's interesting. All right.
	Hey, Steph, I loved the Bitcoin presentation.
	Very much appreciated. Thank you.
	I appreciate that. Cereal is a hard sugar addiction.
	Oh, is that right? You can get cereal with little sugar, right?
	I know it's carby, but...
	All right.
	I've been working all my life and I'm at retirement age and I'm now not sure if I want to retire now that the time is near.
	Well, you know, my advice, having seen some people who've retired, my advice is, please, please, I'm begging you, have something to do after you retire.
	It could be a hobby.
	It could be helping out in your community.
	It could be imparting your wisdom to younger people.
	It could be being a free or half-paid consultant or something like that.
	But particularly for men, nature has a way of wiping you out if you ain't being productive.
	Like, it's just kind of a tragic thing with men.
	And you can sort of understand how this would have evolved.
	If a man is not working but just consuming calories, then he's a candidate for that Inuit thing where they put their old people on an iceberg and just kick them off to go and commune with the ancestors.
	Because we're very sensitive as men to being internally perceived as what could be called useless eaters, right?
	So... Just have something.
	I'm not saying be a workaholic. Yes, relax and enjoy your time and sit by the pool and so on, but have something in general because I think for men as a whole, if you're not doing anything productive, I think nature is just like, well, let's check him out because he's just consuming a bunch of calories and not producing anything for the tribe.
	I have a hard time not scarfing down food.
	Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
	I still vividly remember.
	Boy, tell me if you guys remember your first buffet.
	Again, I grew up a pretty lean and hungry kid.
	And that's a challenge, right?
	Because that's a recipe for weight gain when you get older.
	And I did go through a bit of a chunky phase in my early 30s.
	But... I remember a friend of mine's mother took us both to a Canadian restaurant called Ponderosa.
	Oh my gosh.
	It was my first time at a buffet.
	I still vividly remember it.
	I remember what I ate. I remember this is the first time I'd ever eaten chickpeas, which I love, although they do make me a little gassy.
	But that's what vino is for.
	But I just, I remember, like, I can just go back and keep eating.
	I, and I remember like literally rolling out of there.
	Like I felt like a beached whale.
	I just like, cause I can, I literally can just eat and eat and eat.
	I almost never, ever feel full.
	Almost never. It's sort of like I make myself go to bed and then I fall asleep, but I'm never like, oh, when I had COVID, I was like, oh my God, I gotta go to sleep.
	I'm passed out. Occasionally if I'm feeling nappy during the day, I never like, oh my God, I gotta get to bed.
	I'm so tired. I'm like, well, I just, yeah, I just hold the helium balloon underwater.
	I just go to bed and then I fall asleep and then I'm fine, but I never feel tired and go to sleep.
	And it's the same thing.
	Like, I never feel full.
	I never feel full. I always have to make myself stop eating.
	I can always eat more. I just have to will myself.
	Stop eating. Take it to go.
	And, yeah, honestly, I remember going to a party at McDonald's, a friend of mine's party, when I was maybe, I don't know, 13 or 14.
	And of course, I was going through my growth spurt and all of that.
	And I went from a fairly small kid to like I'm a shade under six foot and all that.
	So I'm above average in height now.
	But I was going through my growth spurt and I was just like Pac-Man, just eating, eating, eating.
	And at the end of it, everybody, like we played our games, we had our food.
	And at the end of it, my friend's mom was like, okay, well, I assume nobody else wants anything else.
	Like we're all stuffed.
	And I'm like, I could do a filet of fish.
	I don't even remember if I got it, but I certainly remember being the only kid who's like, oh yeah, I could eat.
	I could eat. It's one of the reasons I exercise is just so I can eat more, I guess.
	So yeah, it's a challenge.
	Somebody says, I still have the free domain podcast app.
	Great to listen to the shows when offline.
	Long night shifts alone.
	Oh, good. Oh, good.
	Most women I've encountered who haven't had that many partners have always been steadfastly Christian and Catholic.
	I believe that is the case.
	Alright, let me just get caught up to your comments and questions.
	For my grade school in the 90s, it was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich if you couldn't pay, and all the kids would laugh.
	That happened to me twice, and I vividly remember both times.
	Yeah, I hate to say it. I still remember that I had a little sign on the door of my apartment when I was growing up.
	It said, don't forget diner money, because I didn't know how to put two N's in dinner.
	Don't forget diner money, and there'd be a little bowl, a little Moroccan bowl, and there's supposed to be change in it, but a couple of times, once or twice a week for sure, there wouldn't be anything in there.
	And I'd just have to go to school, and you'd have to line up and get your poverty...
	Your poverty bracelet and all of that.
	I mean, it's funny because I remember very clearly it was kind of considered to be obviously negative and it was a low status thing.
	But I genuinely didn't care about it that much.
	Because it's like, I can't manufacture food.
	I can't manufacture money.
	It's not my fault I don't have any money.
	I mean, I got my first job when I was 10 because I wanted to be able to afford lunches and I couldn't rely on my mom to leave the money.
	Steph, what about marrying someone who's vaxxed but regrets it?
	Should I have her get checked out by a doctor?
	Yeah, that's medical advice.
	I can't really speak to that.
	As far as, you know, are there fertility issues with the vax?
	It's hard to say who's funding the studies.
	Are there studies? Who would be reporting honestly?
	There's very much armed camps on both sides of the vax versus unvax debate, so it's really tough to get good information from that.
	I'm reading the real Dr.
	Anthony Fauci or the real Anthony Fauci by Robert Kennedy at the moment, which is, if true, beyond appalling, beyond appalling.
	Any suggestions to deal with loneliness, especially when you know a lot of people, but that sense of connection is always wanting?
	I live alone. I can be talkative and people enjoy my company for the initial meeting, but I have issues moving forward from that.
	I feel people never reach out to me.
	I have to initiate. I know I'm not owning anything.
	I get what I give, but it's very tough, especially on my days off.
	I try to fulfill my social needs by going out to the store.
	It gets expensive. I lack healthy friends my age.
	Right. I have so many opinions that people dislike.
	Here's one of them. Here's one of them.
	Friends... Friends are not there to help you with loneliness.
	You know who's there to help you with loneliness?
	You know what institution is there to help you with loneliness?
	Spoiler! Not friends!
	The institution that's there to help you with loneliness is called...
	Say it with me. Say it proud.
	Love and marriage.
	Love and marriage.
	Go together like a horse.
	Okay, you know how it goes, right?
	So yeah, love and marriage. This I tell you, brother.
	So, it's marriage.
	Marriage is the solution to loneliness, not friends.
	Now, friends are fine. You hang out with them and you go places and so on.
	But you know what they're going to get?
	They're going to get girlfriends and then they're going to get fiancées and then they're going to get married and then they're going to have kids and then they're not going to have any time for you.
	Trying to build your social structure on friendships for the long term is like building a castle on an iceberg that's heading south.
	It's going to sink and it's going to fall over into the swamp.
	So, yeah, friends aren't there to solve your problems with loneliness.
	What friends are there for is to make you look cool and so you look good to a woman.
	That's what friends are for.
	Friends are there to help you find a woman, whether it's someone they know or you're just
	showing that you know how to sustain social relationships so the love of your life will
	like them and it's an indication of what kind of people you have around you and so on, right?
	So friendship is a dry run mating display thing for how good a husband you'll be and
	That's it. Now, I mean, I have friends, and a lot of it has to do with, you know, we have kids similar ages, and of course they're all peaceful parents and so on, so I have friends, but my friends don't solve the problem of loneliness.
	That's what marriage is for. There's no substitute.
	There's no substitute.
	Not your parents, not your cousins, not your aunts, not your siblings, because they're all going to go and have lives of their own.
	Your parents already did, I guess, and they're going to leave you in the dust.
	You cannot look to friends to solve friendship in the long term.
	It's not what friendship is for.
	Friendship is for meeting your wife.
	Friendship is for meeting your husband.
	That's what friends are for. Oh lord, there's another song, right?
	Keep smiling.
	So... Yeah.
	Your friends are the portal through which you...
	I mean, I met my wife through a friend.
	I got my first programming job and became friends with a guy there who was the first guy in my life to ever tell me, man, you take your job too seriously.
	Like, you've got to relax and enjoy things a little, man.
	It's really, you know...
	And he had a very good point.
	And, yeah, he got me involved in a sports league, and I love volleyball.
	I love volleyball.
	You know, I've played...
	I can't even tell you how many games of beach volleyball in my life.
	It's... Well, as many as I can possibly get a hold of.
	A little tricky sometimes, obviously, you can imagine.
	But beach volleyball, I will literally pay until I can barely stand.
	I will play for hours.
	Honestly, I genuinely feel if I could spend the rest of my life playing beach volleyball, I would die with a crusty, sand, bitter smile on my face.
	Like, that would just be fantastic.
	And the only thing nicer than beach volleyball is Diet Coke afterwards jumping in a pool.
	So, yeah, so I met my wife through a friend.
	So your friends are like, fantastic, you know, and you should care about each other and you should support each other.
	But friends are the gateway and the social proof in order for you to get married.
	And you get married, you never have to worry about loneliness again.
	Never. I've never been a person who experiences much loneliness.
	And there's pluses and minuses.
	I'm not saying there's any strength or anything like that, but I don't really experience much loneliness.
	I don't really think of times...
	I mean, I've certainly experienced the hunger for a romantic relationship, for sure.
	That's not quite the same as loneliness.
	I mean, I've generally been pretty good with...
	Getting and keeping friends. But in general, I just, and I sort of hate to say it, but as you can imagine, being inside my brain is very interesting.
	I'm constantly coming up with ideas and thoughts and stories and all of that.
	So being in my brain is a pretty interesting place.
	And reading, I've never felt lonely when reading a book.
	We read to feel that we're not alone.
	To try on another life of size and all those cliches.
	So I don't really experience loneliness.
	I can't think of a time in my life where I've experienced loneliness.
	But... Use your friends as a crowbar through which to lever a lifelong partner your way.
	You get married, you have kids, you meet other people, you share parenting and kids in common, and that's it.
	Also, you know, if you stay single, you're married friends with kids, like, come on, man, what are you going to have in common?
	You just, if you miss that ride, man, you miss that boat.
	And I've seen this happen to a tragic number of people.
	You miss that boat. You know, you don't ask a girl out in your teens.
	You don't get involved in steady relationships.
	Everyone doesn't have to lead to marriage, but some sort of steady relationship in your 20s, early 20s, right?
	You just miss out on that whole thing.
	It's so hard to come back.
	It's so hard to rewind.
	Because you designed a life without love.
	You designed a life without long-term partners.
	You find a way to survive and, you know, you fire up your browser and, you know, grease yourself up like you're a WD-40 and Formula One car and you've just found a way around it all and, yeah, you miss that window and then your friends, one by one, they get married and they have kids and what are you left with?
	What are you left with? You're alone.
	You're alone. You know, the people I knew when I was single, my friends, like, none of them are around anymore.
	I know I said I was good at maintaining friendships.
	Yeah, I'm good at maintaining friendships, but you've got to have stuff in common.
	And when you're getting used to married life and you're raising a kid or kids or whatever, your life has just changed completely.
	You're just, like, before kids and after kids, before marriage and after marriage, you're still the same person.
	You're just more so. When you have kids, you become a different person.
	Like you are just a different person.
	Because you have to be egoless.
	You have to put everything aside that used to be important to you and Parenting, that's the thing.
	It's a great relief in many ways, right?
	So parenting is the thing.
	Making sure your kids are happy and healthy and thriving and knowledgeable and virtuous.
	I mean, that's just such a multi-dimensional, absorbing project.
	There's a reason why my daughter was young.
	I didn't write any books for 10 years.
	I didn't write any books for 10 years.
	Almost. When you are that involved in marriage and parenting and you're just not the same person anymore.
	You're just not. And that's fine.
	That's how it should be. I wouldn't want to be the same damn person my whole life.
	How boring would that be? But you finally have something and someone to take you vastly outside yourself to the point where you are invisible to yourself because you are A deliverer of thoughts and experience and security and food and love and connection to a child who has no other choice, no other option, because you're there, you're in the house, right?
	So you become invisible to yourself.
	Translucent. In the past, it's always, oh, what do I think about this?
	What do I think about that? Do I like this?
	Do I like that? And you have a kid, and it's just like, okay, what does your kid need?
	What does your kid need? That's it.
	You become a service robot in a way.
	And I know this sounds kind of callous and cold.
	It's a beautiful thing to get out of your own head.
	It's a beautiful thing to have something to live for other than your own preferences.
	That's philosophy as a whole. Have something to live for other than what serves your preferences at the moment.
	Because whatever serves your preferences in the moment, it's not going to last.
	I mean, you know the hedonism treadmill, right?
	You know, think of how exciting having your first alcoholic drink was, or alcohol drink, and then your hundredth.
	Really not that big a deal, right?
	Your first concert versus your hundredth concert when you are laying the bound rock for mid-fifties tinnitus.
	So, you know, the friends of mine who didn't have kids, I mean...
	Their lives just seem kind of shallow and silly.
	Honestly, like when you have a human being to keep alive and to train up and to bring joy to and to bring thought and virtue to, when you have that incredible project called parenting and you go hang out with a friend and he's like, yeah, I went on a date recently and it's like, oh, that's... That's nice.
	You know, and of course you want the day to work out well and all of that, but you're so past that phase.
	You're so past that phase in your life.
	Or, you know, oh, this new album dropped and it's like, yeah, I'm educating an entire new human brain.
	You know, like, it's just hard to...
	It's hard to take...
	The singletons as seriously, and it's not a negative, like I'm not, just telling you my experience could be different for other people.
	It's just hard to take the singletons as seriously.
	I mean, I just, I was so, and remain so enthralled by parenting.
	The beauty and the excitement.
	And you guys have heard shows with my daughter.
	It's wonderful. Other than my wife and philosophy, they're all up there, right?
	The most wonderful things in my life.
	And you guys, of course, making it all possible.
	Thank you again for the tips. I really appreciate that.
	But when you've been involved in a project, when you are solely, you know, co-responsible for that project of having an actual human life to raise, especially like your homeschool and all that, like it's not, you're not pointing it off on other people, right?
	What are your single friends?
	What are they, like, what's engaging?
	Now, you know, maybe your single friends are splitting the atom and figuring out the unified field theory, in which case, yeah, it's interesting, but most people aren't doing that kind of stuff.
	So, what do you have to talk about?
	I had a friend who's like, we do these judo competitions, right?
	That's interesting. You know, I don't mind it.
	But, you know, I can do 10 minutes listening to him talk about judo.
	Now, if he's raising them, when you talk with parents who are facing the challenges of raising kids, it's almost impossible to raise kids well these days because the world's so crazy that if you raise your kids sane, they have all the problems of being sane in the crazy world.
	So there's a lot of challenges for these things.
	All right. Hi, Steph.
	In the last few months, I have doubts about having the children.
	Whenever I think about it, I see it as a solution.
	Like, will I be whole when I have them?
	I sense that is not right.
	What are right reasons to have children, in your opinion?
	And how do I measure or know that I've done enough self-work to have children and have emotional full cup for them?
	Thank you for the work. You do feel a bit bad about not tipping.
	You, I am not in a financial position to do more than subscribe.
	No, the sub is perfectly fine.
	I appreciate that, and thank you very much.
	Okay, so...
	Would you like me to answer this logically or rantily?
	Hit me with an L if you want logic.
	Hit me with an R if you want a rant.
	L for logic, R for rant.
	And I will let you guys decide the format of my answer.
	L for logic, R for rant.
	You can shape the words coming out of my mouth.
	Alright, let me just get this question.
	Ah yes, here we go. Alright, let me get to my...
	Alright. What have we got here?
	R, R, R, R! L and R, both good.
	Okay, do you know what binary is?
	Come on! Why not both?
	Because I said either or. Rand!
	Rand, rand, rand.
	Left and right. Rand, rand.
	Okay. We've got two L's and everybody wants a rant.
	Okay. I hate to keep asking you a shirtless rant.
	All right. Here we go.
	Do you want...
	Give me 1 to 10 on the passion scale.
	The case for having children.
	Give me 1 to 10 on the passion scale.
	And if we get a lot of 10s, I will in fact rip off my shirt.
	How's that? 10 passion, 0 shirt?
	Alright, so you're going to be offended.
	You're going to be offended. You're going to be upset.
	So, everybody, it's your fault.
	You're goading me. I have no choice.
	The peer pressure... The peer pressure is forcing me into this.
	Alright. Alright.
	Why should you have children?
	Because you're not a selfish asshole.
	That's why you should have children.
	Now, there are some people who can't have children.
	I exclude all of that. But why should you have children?
	Because you've got the gift of life and you can give it to someone else.
	Why the hell would you hoard that?
	Why would you hoard the capacity to be like a god among men, a god among women, and create an actual, functional, breathing, thinking, reasoning, questioning human brain?
	Think of how much effort people have put 50 years into developing artificial intelligence.
	For you, it's like three minutes and a squirt and a nap.
	And look at that, I've created not artificial intelligence, real intelligence.
	Real, honest to God, you have the capacity to create the greatest object in the universe.
	The three pounds of gorgeous wetware known as a human brain.
	My God! You ever watch the movie Frankenstein?
	You've got this crazy hair and lightning and a guy comes up.
	You can do that. You can create an actual glorified genius ball called the human brain.
	And you can nurture it and you can grow it and you can give it the joy of existence.
	You can give it the joy of life.
	So you are a God in being a parent.
	You are a god in being a parent.
	You have created something that even you or I cannot comprehend.
	I don't know how my daughter's brain works.
	I know that she can beat the hell out of me and beat Sabre, but I don't know how my daughter's brain works.
	I don't know how my brain works.
	So I can create something so brilliant, so gorgeous, so incredible that I have no clue how it works, and it brings endless delight to every day.
	Why would you not be a god in the universe and create the greatest glory that the metaverse has to offer?
	The human brain. You can make a brain.
	You can make a thought in another.
	And you can outlive your petty self.
	You know, your petty self.
	Your petty self that frets and worries and, oh no, I've got a pimple.
	And, oh, I'm not quite tall enough.
	And, oh my God, am I gaining weight?
	And like your petty, useless, nonsense self.
	There's surface foam on the endless depth of our potential.
	This rain in the eye that distracts you from brilliance.
	Your petty self.
	God. To shrug off the petty self.
	The nothing self. The nonsense self.
	The devil self of distraction.
	To shrug it off.
	To tear it from you.
	And cast it aside.
	It feels like a... Metal suit, a suit of armor that you peel off and it takes half your skin with you, but underneath is pure, rippling, chad-muscled godhood!
	Children, take your petty self out to the woodshed and puts it through the wood chipper.
	your petty self, fries and dies under the gorgeous needs of a growing mind.
	Oh, beautiful, beautiful.
	To partake of the eternal chain of being rather than fret over nonsense and nothingness until
	You are wiped by time from the face of the universe with nothing left.
	Every petty thought you have, every little worry, every little nothing, every little distraction that you have, nothing lasts.
	It's all gone. It's all gone.
	But what lasts is depth, creativity, genius, which is barred to most of us.
	But what is left?
	People. You've made people, just as you were made.
	And the pettiness that curses and clouds our very existence, constantly distracting us from anything deep and true and real and meaningful and passionate and powerful and eternal.
	Eternal, you know that line from the Screwtape Letters.
	The devil doesn't tempt you with great sins.
	He tempts you with distraction, with worry, with nothing.
	Ooh, did somebody get upset at something I said?
	Oh, no.
	How's my posture in the little moment that I have right now?
	Oh, somebody looked at me funny.
	Oh, I wonder if that person likes me.
	Oh, I hope that that's not a cyst.
	I hope that's just a pimple. How are my eyes doing today?
	Am I aging too fast or too slow?
	Oh, I can pinch an inch.
	Oh, no. Can I still fit into these jeans?
	I'm not saying that's not a part of life, but dear God, does it ever become too much of a part of life?
	Far too often and far too overwhelmingly.
	We need the giant fishhook of eternity to yank us out of the petty distractions of nothingness that cloud like mosquitoes our entire thinking.
	Trying to build any kind of meaningful life out of pettiness is like to sculpt a statue out of a bag full of wriggling mosquitoes.
	You get nothing out of it.
	You are just distracted.
	Children and philosophy take you out of your petty self and stretch you out on a rack that goes from eternity to infinity.
	The things that we say are true here are true everywhere for all time across the universe.
	Children give you the entire purpose of four billion years That culminated in you.
	You hold the precious battles of billions of lives over billions of years in your choice to reproduce or not.
	Is it the end of the line?
	Is it done?
	Is it over? You curse and spit in the face of your ancestors if you do not reproduce.
	You go back to your fucking ancestors in the black death.
	When half the people around them are dropping dead.
	They had children.
	Famine, pestilence, plague, war, starvation, bad hunting, bad weather, bad crops, bad leaders, bad wars, conscription.
	They fucked and were fertile.
	They fucked and were fertile.
	So, what? What did they do that for?
	Half their children died before the age of five.
	They fucked and were fertile.
	And they made you possible.
	And what do you say to them?
	Oh, it's...
	You know, it's hard finding a girl.
	Ooh, Elden Ring just came out.
	I'm gonna spend the next three months on that.
	Fuck.
	Get your head out of your ass.
	And get your balls in the game.
	Him.
	Thank you.
	...
	Get your head out of your ass, get your fingers off your cock and get in the fucking game, literally.
	Make your advances, make your move, make your proposals, make love, make some fucking babies.
	Or you're a hoarder. You're an asshole in general.
	It's hard to find.
	Find someone! Just find someone.
	Whatever you want to will, you will achieve.
	If somebody said to you, I will give you a billion dollars if you can get married in six months, you know what you'd be in six months?
	You'd be married. You'd be married!
	Stop waiting for this conveyor belt to deliver something to you.
	There's nothing coming to you.
	Nothing is coming to you, particularly if you're a man.
	We know this. We know this.
	Nothing is coming. Nothing is being delivered.
	There's no fucking package that's going to end up on your doorstep that you unpack, add water, and get a bride.
	You go out there and you ask, and you get rejected, and you ask again, and you get rejected, and then you work out, and you lose weight, and you get your teeth whitened, and you get a tan, and you get a haircut, and you get nice clothes, and you go out and you ask again, and you ask again, and you ask again!
	Why? Because your ancestors survived a fucking plague from China in the 12th century.
	And the Mongol horde and the fall of the Roman Empire and the Dark Ages and the Saracens snatching every European from the seaside to the point where nobody could live on fish anymore.
	The potato famine.
	The gunpowder plot.
	Fucking empire.
	The British Empire. They survived the British Empire.
	Where you had to have a mug in a tavern with a glass bottom because if they put a coin...
	In your cup. They put a coin in your beer.
	They put a penny in your beer.
	You drank it. You were press ganged.
	Because, hey man, you've accepted the king's coin.
	You assail it now.
	And then you'd go out there and because they didn't understand vitamin C, you fucking died of scurvy.
	Scurvy killed more people in the British Navy than enemy combat did.
	They survived all of that.
	London fire of 1666.
	World War I, they fought their way through the fucking trenches.
	World War II. Ah, Jesus.
	And you can't get your ass in gear?
	To go find a bride?
	Well, it's tough. They're a cultural...
	Oh, my God. Imagine...
	Let's get our focus back here.
	I went out of frame. Imagine you going back to your ancestors, struggling their way through the Black Death.
	Half their children dying.
	No dentistry. No antibiotics.
	You know, I had an ankylose tooth that never separated from my jaw when I was a kid.
	I had to get it taken out.
	That's why my mouth droops a little bit on this side.
	I had to get it taken out.
	You know what I said to my dentist?
	Thank God for you, man.
	Thank you, thank you, thank you.
	Because this would have probably killed me a hundred years ago.
	Maybe even less.
	Guess what did he do? He injected the shit out of me.
	And I felt the drill.
	I felt the drill go right up into my sinuses.
	Boom! Straight up. And he took the bone fragments and he made a new bone.
	He packed it in there. Beautiful.
	Beautiful. I remember singing falsetto when it hurt like hell once.
	So, what if, you know, that would have killed me.
	Infection. Or can you imagine trying to hammer that out without anesthetic?
	Jesus, God. What a nightmare.
	And the distractions, oh my god.
	We're just being eaten alive by the electronics, the pornography, the video games, just keeping your petty self at the top.
	Nothing deeper, nothing meaningful, nothing more powerful.
	Manipulating digits and digitals.
	The light, empty froth of vapid entertainment and distraction washing over us and washing away the very sand of our heritage and our culture and our history.
	And everything. Oh, but you know, maybe I'm 20 pounds overweight and I can't find a girl.
	One word, two syllables, my friends.
	You feel unattractive?
	Not quite handsome enough.
	One word, two syllables.
	Are you ready? Are you ready?
	Smallpox. Smallpox.
	You ever hear a little thing? Smallpox?
	I still have the scar on my arm from my inoculation.
	When I was a kid in boarding school, what we did was we said, oh, did you see there was a scratch?
	That was our mark of heroism.
	Did you have a scratch? If it had a scratch, it meant you jumped from the needle.
	Smallpox ate half your fucking face away.
	you ended up with full-on Luna Bryan Adams pockmarked face from hell.
	Well, I, you know, I just, I can't find a woman who's quite attractive enough for me.
	You know, your ancestors fucked women who'd never brushed their teeth.
	Your ancestors made babies with women who bathed a couple of times a year.
	Yeah. Yeah. If they had your standards, you wouldn't even be here!
	Fuss, fuss, fuss, fuss, fuss, fuss, fuss!
	Now this is more true for the women than it is for the men.
	It's more true for the women.
	This fussiness? Oh my God.
	If your ancestors have been this fussy, you wouldn't even be here to end their line
	Because there's somebody more attractive on fucking Instagram
	People waiting for good things to happen happen.
	.
	You know what you get in this life?
	It's your big lesson.
	You know what you get in this life?
	You get what you fucking earn.
	Nothing more, nothing less.
	You get what you fucking earn.
	You're having trouble finding a boyfriend?
	You're having trouble finding a girlfriend?
	Go earn it. Do whatever it takes.
	Do whatever it takes.
	Your great great great great great grandmother buried a child in the backyard.
	It fertilized her roses, its little body.
	Your ancestral grandmother Buried a baby in the backyard, put up a little cross, went back in the house, and tried to make another one.
	And that's why you're here.
	That's why you're here.
	And where's your will to survive and to flourish?
	And to breed?
	Where is it? Where did it go?
	Why is it all about you rather than the continuation of your line and your culture and your history, your ancestors?
	I had a friend of mine Jewish woman, nice Jewish woman and
	She was hesitant about having a kid and her family said to her if you don't have a kid you're continuing the work of
	Hitler Bye.
	Thank you.
	Hey, guess what? She had a kid.
	What's not to admire about that level of dedication?
	I can't find a partner.
	Can't find a partner. Okay, I will accept that.
	I will accept that if you spend four hours a day looking for a partner.
	You know, when I was a kid, a teenager, all these assholes in the world, I can't find a job.
	Okay? Can't find a job, right?
	Can't find a job. No job, so you can't find a job.
	Well, what have you done? Well, I sent out a couple of resumes.
	Then you're not looking for a job.
	If you're not spending four hours a day looking for a job, you're not looking for a job.
	You're just wasting time.
	You're making excuses rather than making progress.
	Only choice in life. You make excuses or you make progress.
	That's it. That's it.
	Make excuses or you make progress.
	So, if you can't find a partner...
	Okay, let me see your Steam account.
	Alright? Let me see your Steam account.
	Mr. I can't find a partner.
	Ms. I can't find a partner. Let me see your Steam account.
	Let me see your Netflix history.
	Pretty sure you're not finding a partner By binge-watching Milf Island or playing through Elden Ring.
	Pretty sure you're not spending four hours a day trying to find a partner.
	Joining clubs, whatever, I don't know, dating sites, going out and meeting people, chatting women up in restaurants.
	You don't wait for life to deliver you anything because it's not going to.
	The only thing life will ever deliver you is passivity.
	It's waiting. Oh, something's going to be coming along.
	Nope! That's a child's thinking.
	That's a child's thinking. That's the passivity of feeling like life should be a conveyor belt because you're on a conveyor belt.
	The only conveyor belt you're on is from here to death.
	That's it. So yeah, I want to see your Netflix history.
	How much time did you spend watching movies or shows last month?
	How much time did you spend on video games or pornography?
	How much time have you wasted on the digital shark eating you atom by atom until there's nothing left?
	No, I can't find anyone .
	You can find stuff on Netflix, can't you?
	And it's so easy.
	you It's so easy.
	And do you know why it's so easy?
	It's so easy.
	It's so easy because everybody else is wasting time.
	So if you're not the one wasting time, you win.
	Everybody, like, here's the thing.
	Imagine you're in the jungle, in the woods, right?
	North American woods, back in the day, whenever, right?
	And everyone's sitting there, oh, I'm so hungry, but I'm just, I'm going to wait for some food to jump into my tent, jump into my teepee.
	I'm just going to wait, right? I'm so hungry.
	I can't find any food.
	Oh, come on!
	Doesn't nature know I'm hungry?
	Send some bunny in here.
	Send something in. Some deer in here.
	God! Nature sucks.
	Life is so hard.
	Get off your fucking ass.
	Get out there and get some food.
	And you know why it's so easy?
	Because everyone else is in their tent waiting for something to wander in and feed them.
	And you're out there in the woods.
	It's so easy. It's so easy.
	I went bald in my 20s.
	Really early. Really early.
	What am I supposed to do?
	Well, you know, being bald is less attractive.
	So, you've got to make up for it somehow.
	So I developed being funny and interesting and I read a lot and I exercised and just
	try and find some way to make yourself more appealing.
	I met women in grocery stores.
	I met women in restaurants.
	I met women in coffee shops.
	I can think of two long-term relationships.
	One, I was picking up food from a Thai restaurant to eat at home.
	I saw a very lovely woman sitting at a table, eating alone.
	And I said to her, Hey, I'm eating alone.
	You're eating alone. Let's eat alone together.
	I sat down and we ended up dating for a while.
	It didn't work out, but it was nice.
	Met another woman at a coffee shop.
	She was reading a book. I was curious about the book.
	I asked her about the book. If you believe you have something to offer, or you believe you have nothing to offer, you're right.
	You're right. Either way.
	If you think you can or you think you can't, you're right.
	You're right. Universe doesn't care.
	Doesn't care. Doesn't care at all.
	Doesn't care.
	Succeed or fail, the universe doesn't care.
	Doesn't care. You go up and you talk, oh, and women look at you weird and, huh, right?
	I met women in the gym, oh my god, but, you know, this whole, it's just a fucking depopulation thing, right?
	Oh, the women are filming guys at the gym and saying that they're creepy and blah blah blah.
	That's all, you know why that's, why is that pushed?
	Why is that pushed? Why is that pushed in social media from China?
	It's just depopulation shit, right?
	Don't, Yes, I met women.
	I would chat with them in yoga class.
	Just smile and chat.
	Just be nice. Be positive.
	Be enthusiastic about something.
	Be, my life is going to be cool.
	Wouldn't you love to come along for the ride?
	Come with me on my life.
	Not, I'm going to obsess about you, you've got to serve my needs.
	Just come with me on my journey called life.
	It's gonna be wild. Ups, downs, whatever.
	And people...
	Now you look at the wrong woman, you end up on TikTok.
	That's a loser thing, my friend.
	No, it's not true. That's falling prey to the anti-natalist propaganda designed to have you end your line like a circumcision of a sausage.
	You look at the wrong woman, you end up on TikTok.
	No, you don't. What are the odds?
	What are the odds? What are the odds that you end up on TikTok?
	And even if you do end up on TikTok, what's wrong with that?
	Let's say some woman films you at the gym.
	Like literally one in a million guys this happens to.
	One in a million guys. You get filmed on TikTok.
	Then you go and you say, I like chatting with people.
	This woman was very attractive.
	I wanted to chat with her. Or whatever.
	And then other women will be curious.
	other women will appreciate their confidence.
	Yeah, Judah move it into an asset.
	Free publicity? Absolutely!
	Some women give me the death stare nowadays for looking at her.
	Thank you.
	...
	I don't believe you.
	Don't wait until you're ready.
	Oh, I said this years ago.
	Don't wait until you're ready to act.
	You'll never be ready. By the time you're ready, it's already too late.
	Yes. Life is the plane you have to build while you're flying.
	That's the way it is. That's the way it is.
	You don't send a plane out without building it and testing everything.
	Life's not like that. Life is a plane. You just gotta fucking build it while you're flying it and hang on like...
	do it.
	Jesus man, you understand?
	Fucking serial killers have women who want to marry them and you can't find anyone?
	I get. Oh, you say, well, I don't want a woman who wants a serial killer.
	I get that. I understand.
	Don't need to state the obvious to me.
	But you can get someone to marry you.
	But not if they're competing with digital distractions that have you atomize yourself into the stratosphere and then pour yourself into a grave of regret.
	You've got to live a life.
	It's my very first video, Live Like You're Dying.
	You've got to live a life.
	But you don't look back and say, oh, I fucked that up, man.
	Holy shit. You know, you don't want to be 60 alone, lonely, and saying, well, at least I got 50,000 fucking hours into video games.
	Oh, that's a long time to live with regret.
	Because here's the thing, like I'll tell you, this is the funny thing about life.
	This I know for absolute sure.
	This I know for absolute sure. It's not the stuff I'm kind of half and half about.
	This I know for absolute sure. The devil, the devils, once you're frightened now, but later you'll look back and you'll say, what was I so frightened of?
	That's what you don't want.
	Man, that is really what you don't want.
	I'm telling you that is a fate worse than death.
	Worse than death. Oh, I don't want to go talk to this girl because I'm scared.
	Okay. Maybe this was the girl for you.
	Maybe this was just the right girl for you.
	Maybe this was the foundation of the happiness and fertility of your life and the comfort in old age with children, with grandchildren, a whole big happy clan.
	Oh, I'm scared.
	Okay, I get it. Fuck your fear.
	Fuck your fear. Forget that.
	Because you're going to forget it either way.
	You either forget your fear now, or you forget your fear later when it's too late to fix it.
	That's all. That's all.
	You like a girl, go talk to her.
	If she says no, she says no.
	If she's got a boyfriend, she's got a boyfriend.
	So what? So what?
	You're a man. This is what we have to do.
	Listen, we don't have to give birth.
	We don't have to breastfeed. We don't get menopause.
	We don't get periods.
	A lot of benefits. We've basically got this big Sherman tank of a body that's basically the same from 18 to 70.
	Then it all falls apart at once or something like that, right?
	So we have a lot that we don't have to go through as men.
	A huge number of benefits.
	Would you rather have pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, episiotomies, and epidurals, and weird shit going on with your reproductive system half your life, and periods, and cramps, and menopause? Would you rather have that?
	Or, hear me out, or 20 times in your life you've got to ask some girl out, or go up and talk to some girl.
	Go look up endometriosis.
	Okay? Go look up endometriosis.
	And then say, oh, but it's really tough as a guy that I have to go up and talk to a girl.
	Oh, Lord. When did we become so fucking fragile?
	Oh, my God. What is the matter with everyone?
	A friend of mine's daughter was at a dance and she was saying, yeah, the girls basically have to ask the guys.
	They just stand in the middle of the dance floor and don't do anything.
	But talk about going to the gym.
	So the guys have become pretty.
	I've got a whole character in my new book about this.
	His name's Arlo. The guys have become pretty and they've become like the beautiful ones and they groom themselves and they wait for the girls to come up.
	It's like, Jesus, man.
	Women have it pretty tough, man.
	Women have it pretty tough.
	Physically. Physically. I know a woman, she's been in menopause for like nine years.
	Yeah, that's not a lot of fun.
	We don't have the same mood swings, we don't have the same hormones yet.
	And nature withholds all of those challenges and punishments from us.
	The only thing we've got to do is swallow our vanity, swallow our pride, step over our fear and go and say, Hi!
	The most ridiculous deal in the Node universe and men feel so hard done by.
	Oh my God, I've got to go talk to a girl!
	Years of blood coming out of you and babies coming out of you and being torn apart and having to be stitched up and having toddlers chew on your nipples.
	Well yes, that's all difficult, but I have to go up to a girl and say hi.
	Oh my god.
	you Look, there's stuff I really, genuinely, 100%, there's stuff that I sympathize with men about, and I've got a whole book about this called The Present.
	I'm going to start the audiobook maybe the weekend.
	But my God. And you understand, social media is just feeding you up all these excuses to not go talk to girls.
	Or you could get filmed at TikTok.
	Or she might say no. She might think you're a creep.
	She might laugh about you, but to friends, she might post about you on social media.
	Yeah, and in the past, your ancestor dude had to walk up to a woman when they both had smallpox, had never brushed their teeth, and they had to go make a baby.
	Cry me a fucking river.
	Cry me a river about how difficult you've got it.
	Please. Please.
	It's embarrassing. And if you believe you're a victim, or you believe you're a hero, guess what?
	You're right. You're right.
	And not because you are, you aren't, because by the time you're 18, nobody's going to argue with you about your self-definition.
	No one's going to argue with you because they don't care.
	Why? Because you're an adult.
	Especially if you're a man.
	No one cares. And if you're kind of down, I don't feel that attractive.
	You know, I'm 20 pounds overweight and I'm balding.
	Nobody cares. Nobody cares.
	Hey, man, have your own definitions.
	What do I care? Do your thing, man.
	Run your game. I don't care.
	I don't care. Nobody cares.
	Or as you say, I am bought and paid for.
	I'm pleasingly plump and I don't care that I'm balding because I'm just going to go out there and grab life by the nutsack and give it a twirl.
	Okay. People will be like, okay.
	If you're insecure because you're overweight or you're confident because you're overweight, the world's like, okay, I believe it either way.
	I'll believe it either way. Sure.
	I mean... It's just, it's constantly, social media, and it's constantly serving you up excuses.
	Here's why you can't get love.
	Here's why you can't get married.
	Here's why. It does it to women too.
	Oh, your boobs aren't big enough.
	You don't have big enough eyelashes.
	Your hair's the wrong color. Nah.
	Fuck that. Get a dog.
	Go to a dog park. Sign up to any sports thing that you can find.
	Join any club. Cooking clubs.
	Lots of women in cooking clubs.
	My God. It's so...
	Look. All you can do is try.
	There's no guarantee of success in this life.
	All you can do is try.
	If you try, genuinely, deeply, honorably, repeatedly, four hours a day, you spend looking for somebody to love, right?
	If you spend that time And let's say, against all conceivable odds, you fail.
	You won't. You won't. Because everyone else is sitting there waiting for the deer to come and jump on their saucepan.
	Right? So you won't fail.
	But let's say, for some bizarre miracle, you spend four hours a day for the next ten years looking for a partner, looking for a wife, looking for a husband, and you fail.
	Okay? You will also fail to have regret.
	and not having regret is kind of the point of things, right?
	One girl took a picture of my general direction and I accused her of taking my picture in a friendly way.
	It turned out she was taking a picture of her weights, and we talked from there.
	Yep. A woman says, an interaction I will remember forever.
	A random strange man walked up to me and said, seeing my smile made his day.
	Never knew him, his name or anything about him.
	urban areas more women but more filtering Rural areas, less filtering, but less women.
	My fight or flight is flaring up.
	I've got to keep trying. Women love when you're brave enough to try and make conversation.
	Yes, look, of course, there's like one in a hundred women is just T.F.N., totally fucking nuts.
	And she's just going to try and cut you down and snarl at you and shit like that.
	Right. Right.
	Your ancestors had to go into no man's land with German lead flying through the air, their balls half torn apart by barbed wire with three fucking bullets in their chamber.
	Okay? Mustard gas rolling over, yellow mustard gas rolling over the hills.
	Friends screaming, holding their intestines out, left and right.
	And you're like, but some woman might say, no, it's going to be too bad.
	My God. You understand?
	Courage is a muscle that doesn't come to you unless you work it.
	Courage doesn't just happen.
	You don't just wake up muscular.
	How do you get muscular? You lift the fucking weights.
	No shortcuts. No nothing.
	You lift the fucking weights. And you start off weak, and it's horrible, and then you end up strong.
	Thinking about food ain't gonna fill you up.
	Finishing Elden Ring could finish your entire fucking genetic line of four billion years.
	I don't mean to hate on Elden Ring, it's just a famously tough game.
	Courage doesn't come to you.
	Courage It happens when you act despite fear.
	Courage is a muscle. The fear is the resistance.
	And you bench press, and you can bench press more.
	And you act in a courageous manner when you are scared, and the next time it's less scary, and the next time it's less scary.
	And you all keep waiting for courage to get easy, which is just like sitting on a couch waiting for muscles to appear on your body.
	It's insane. Courage happens when you act courageously.
	It's a muscle that grows through your resisting fear.
	You resist fear, you grow the muscle called courage.
	Social media is too distracting.
	No. No.
	That's a self-justifying lie.
	Got to call you out on it, brother.
	Social media is too distracting.
	No. That's passive.
	You waste time on social media.
	Look, I do too.
	I'm honest about it. I do sometimes waste time on social media.
	Absolutely. Because, you know, we men, we're all scanning for danger, scanning the horizon, scanning, and there's a lot of danger and risk in the political world at the moment.
	So yes, yes, I waste time on social media.
	But I don't blame social media.
	It's 100% me. Put that shit down anytime.
	Social media is too distracting.
	That's passive! No!
	You waste time on social media.
	You choose to waste time on social media.
	I mean, I can waste a little time on social media.
	I've had a great career. I've got a great wife.
	I've got a wonderful kid.
	You know, I can waste time. If you're not settled, then stop wasting time on social media and go meet some girls!
	Go meet some girls, go meet some boys.
	Arlo and his lemurs.
	Yeah.
	Lower your standards. Have babies.
	Yes! Absolutely.
	Absolutely lower your standards until the point that you can reproduce.
	Absolutely. Well, you should never lower your standards.
	Really? So only the two most attractive superlative people in the entire history of the human species should ever have children and everyone else should never have lowered their standards.
	Only somebody with the body of Brad Pitt and the brain of Albert Einstein should ever mate and everybody else should never lower their standards.
	Of course you lower your standards.
	You lower your standards until you make a baby.
	Oh my God. Oh my God.
	Of course you do because that's the only reason you're here is because your ancestors lowered their standards until they made a baby.
	Can you imagine? Imagine I was given career advice.
	And I say, you should ask for at least a million dollars an hour.
	You should get a million dollars an hour starting out.
	You should never accept less than a million dollars an hour.
	You should never lower your standards.
	Hey, welcome to the world of never being employed.
	Are there some people who get paid a million dollars an hour?
	I'm sure there are somewhere, somehow, even if it's just in stock options or price going up or whatever, right?
	Some people get a million dollars an hour.
	Not you, not me.
	We lower our standards.
	Do you want a million dollars an hour?
	Sure. Do I? Yeah, why not?
	Are we gonna get it? Nope.
	Do you look like a Calvin Klein underwear model in the 90s?
	Not the now thing, but in the 90s?
	Nope. Do I? Nope.
	Is that considered an ideal male form?
	Yep. Do you match it?
	Nope. Do I? Nope. So, should a woman only date men who look like underwear models from the 90s?
	Should she never lower her standards?
	Of course you lower your standards.
	You lower your standards until somebody's willing to pay you what you want.
	And you lower your standards until somebody's going to give you a baby.
	My wife is not a supermodel.
	Guess what? Neither am I. I mean, she's fantastic intellectually and all of that.
	She's got a great figure. But no, she's not a supermodel.
	Neither am I. Neither are you.
	My God. Of course you lower your standards.
	You understand? Telling people not to lower their standard is just population reduction.
	Never settle. Never lower your standards.
	Okay. Die alone.
	Die alone. Channeling Kevin Samuels now, right?
	Die alone. Honestly.
	Just die alone. Yes, of course you lower your standards.
	You lower your standards because everybody has to lower their standards.
	Except maybe three people in the known universe who probably don't end up happy.
	Like, okay, Angelina Jolie in her prime was a beautiful woman.
	Brad Pitt in his prime, super handsome man.
	They did not lower their standards physically when they met on this Mr.
	and Mrs. Smith movie, right?
	So they did not lower their standards.
	Turns out they were pretty miserable with each other and he was drunk and there was allegations of abuse and physical fights on planes and...
	Okay, so those two people, they did not have to lower their standards because they're two of the most attractive people on the planet.
	It's not you, it's not me. And they weren't happy with what they got anyway.
	My brother is married but plays video games all day and has no kids.
	I find myself resenting him for leaving it to me to continue our family line.
	Well, send him this.
	Scare the pants off him, literally.
	Make a baby! Make a baby!
	Go make a baby!
	Honor your ancestors!
	Honor your life! Honor your future!
	Honor everyone who sacrificed to bring you to life!
	Go be a golden god of this universe and make a human brain!
	Make a baby! Hold nothing back!
	Go talk to the girl! Go talk to the guy!
	Listen! Lower your standards until somebody gives you a baby!
	Make life!
	Make life!
	Make thought! Participate and partake with eternity!
	Do it!
	Do it! Hold nothing back!
	Be fertile!
	Be fecund! Manipulate life, not pixels!
	Make babies, not excuses!
	Have the power of your loins, not the twitch of your fingers!
	There you go. You guys wanted a ten.
	I'll give you all a 10.
	I'm mostly talking to Taylor Swift, of course.
	Peace.
	Bye!
	Thank you.
	All right. Any other questions for tonight?
	Any other questions for tonight?
	All my Twitch subs just gave all their money.
	Yes, I'm happy to take tips.
	Come on, you know, I'm working it like a pole dancer tonight.
	Tip me! Tip me!
	I don't want just the tip.
	Just got done breastfeeding and this by far made my night.
	Well, if that doesn't make me lactate, I don't know what will.
	This is another reason why I was deplatformed as I'm telling smart people to have babies.
	Not very convenient to the powers that be, right?
	I mean, I want everyone to have babies, but in particular.
	Because everyone used to say, oh, the world's overpopulated.
	It's like, A, no, it's not.
	And B, it's not exactly overpopulated by very intelligent people as a whole.
	So, you know, I want you guys to have kids.
	To top that next rant with no pants, I have nice legs.
	I have nice legs, for sure.
	I've always been known for my legs.
	A nice pair of getaway sticks.
	Steph, in the 80s and 90s, you mentioned you couldn't find a job before you started your company.
	Why didn't you think you couldn't find a job?
	Oh, because it was a brutal recession.
	Now, I ended up finding work.
	We did people's gardens.
	I moved furniture into office buildings.
	I mean, I did work, but I couldn't get a proper job, for sure.
	All right. No pants could just be shorts.
	Yeah, maybe. Tip dollar next week right now.
	$9 Canadian month sub you have.
	Thank you. I appreciate that.
	I appreciate that. All right.
	How do I get over my Biden derangement syndrome?
	It is consuming me.
	See, you're focusing on this.
	I'm not in politics, right?
	I don't do politics anymore.
	I haven't forever, right? Because it's not the age of politics now.
	It's not the age of politics anymore.
	It's the age of power. It's the age of power.
	It's the banana republic phase, right?
	So the system is going to play out the way the system is going to play out.
	It's beyond reason now. It's beyond conversation now.
	It's beyond chat now.
	So just be prepared.
	Somebody says, I have a decent 100,000 following on social media.
	However, I'm starting a family, so I am stopping the hobby of content creation even though I enjoy it.
	Making my business work and resource gathering for my child comes first.
	Yes, of course. You love your children and you serve the world in order to serve your family.
	All right. Well, listen, guys, thank you so much for a really great chat.
	If you are listening to this later, I really would appreciate it.
	If you would help out the show, freedomain.com forward slash donate.
	Love your help. I can't do it without you.
	I can't do it without you. And there are specific business reasons I'll get into another time where your donations are more important now than they have been in quite a long time.
	So... If you could help out the show, I would be eternally grateful.
	It really is quite needed at the moment.

	Lots of love from up here. And I'll talk to you soon.
