	Wouldn't have guessed it, but there we are.
	Welcome. It's How Many Days Until My Birthday.
	Flutterhands, it's loose in the studio.
	It is how many days until Heinz 57, Von Birthdayness.
	Six. Mike, you're breaking my heart.
	Look at all the people. Four days.
	That's right. That's right.
	23rd. Yes, that's right.
	20 plus 4 is 23, because government schools.
	Steph's birthday wish. Tech that just works.
	Yeah, it's strange. I'm streaming from somewhere else, but here on Locals, apparently I have to actually select the microphone.
	Isn't that most odd, most strange, most bizarre.
	Anyway, we're here, we're here, we're here.
	So, I am, as always, what would you like for your birthday?
	World peace! Or failing that.
	A donation or two would be fine.
	Like, is it just me?
	Is it just me? Maybe I'm odd this way, but don't gifts in general kind of suck?
	Gifts is just socialism.
	Well, you could have something that you want, but instead I'm going to choose something that I want you to have.
	Gifts as a whole. I'd actually, these days, I'd just rather get underwear.
	Well, not underwear necessarily.
	Maybe something I would actually use.
	Free ball! Alright, so you always ask for cash gifts.
	So, yeah, freedomain.com slash donate if you would like to help out.
	I would hugely appreciate that.
	Oh, we'll get world peace eventually, one way or another.
	So, I mean, I guess the only point of presence is to buy you something that you just wouldn't buy for yourself.
	My mom insists on sending me clothes.
	They never look good. I tell her not to, but she does.
	What's your thoughts on Montessori education versus homeschooling?
	Don't care. I don't care because Montessori education is just a theory.
	It all comes down to the quality of the teachers.
	A good teacher, I don't care.
	Really, a bad teacher, it doesn't matter where they are, so...
	How was the great slowdown?
	Any recent experiences? At my job and companies I work with, I'm noticing it.
	Yeah. Oh, I mean, yeah.
	Yeah, I mean, it's pretty constant.
	It's pretty constant. I went to a Waldorf school.
	They still follow the curriculum.
	Right. Right.
	Okay, so I'm here for you.
	I'm here for you. Do you want to talk about...
	Russell Brand. Your lighting is looking much better.
	No, I just drank teenage blood.
	So, it's actually the same studio exactly.
	I'm just... Youthful.
	And strangely, it actually just grew earier.
	So that's just the way that it is.
	It's a fine vintage, though. Did you hear about the guy?
	Bought a $3 bottle of wine at Walmart, slapped a highfalutin label on it, and won a sommelier contest in France where people said, oh, it's a heady and fruity bouquet with a light insouciance of cinnamon.
	Oh, well, well. Do you get to locals' tips later in the show?
	Yes. You haven't been following the brand story?
	What happened with Russell Brand?
	Alright, hit me with a Y if you know who Russell Brand is.
	The shortcut, if you want to remember Russell Brand, his official sanctioned nickname is Skeevy Jesus.
	Skeevy Jesus. That's just a homeless Jesus.
	That's who he is. So he is a British comedian.
	And he...
	Gosh. So he's accused of a whole bunch of nefarious things by women from 2003 to 2013.
	Negative interactions with women, assault, and other things.
	He's accused of this. He's denied all of this.
	And... Yeah.
	Yeah, people are just leaping into action to try and get this guy this way.
	He's been accused of sending a car to take his 16-year-old lover out of school.
	He was 31, she was 16.
	Apparently this is just awful now to have this kind of age gap, although Harvey Milk had a 16-year-old boyfriend.
	But hey, totally, totally different.
	So he's facing accusations of sexual assaults and emotional abuse from four women.
	and an emotionally abusive and controlling relationship by the comedian when he was 31
	for about three months.
	And I won't get into the details.
	You can look them up.
	There is a text message.
	The woman, after she claims to have had a negative interaction with him, she wrote,
	when a girl says no, it means no.
	Russell Brand replied that he was very sorry.
	You know, the very sorry is one of these things like, I'm very sorry you had a negative
	I'm very sorry you experienced it that way.
	I'm very sorry that you remember what you remember.
	It doesn't mean I'm very sorry that I did X, Y, or Z necessarily.
	Again, I don't know. She did say that she went to a crisis center and all of that and went to counseling and so on.
	Now, Russell Brand, by his own admission, slept with how many women a month?
	How many women a month?
	Did Russell Brand sleep with?
	All of them? No, my wife was otherwise engaged.
	So he claims to have had sex with up to five women a day, and averaging at the height of his promiscuity, 40 women.
	He says he basically was just a normal-looking guy from wherever he came from in England who just basically got the Willy Wonka lottery ticket to Infinite Poopa, right?
	So, I mean, I've written about this in novels and talked about it before.
	You know, promiscuity, you're just rolling the dice.
	Right? You're just rolling the dice.
	Wow, and he caught no STDs?
	I don't know. Trump says he didn't.
	At least Trump says Trump didn't.
	But as far as Russell Brandt goes, afraid I don't have access to whether he was ever pissing fishhooks.
	Don't know. Don't know.
	So... What do you think, overall, based on your knowledge of this show and what we talk about, what do you think his childhood was like if he was skeevy Jesus man-whore as he seems to be pretty much?
	Terrible single mom, can't pair bond sexual abuse.
	He was exposed to porn as a young age.
	He was either neglected or abused.
	Dad absent. Boy, that would have been an improvement.
	Sexual assault as a child, abusive mother, not peacefully parented, rotten.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's not...
	No, no, it's not strict parents, no.
	No. All right, so I did look up a little bit.
	So... Russell Brand and his father, Ronald Ron Brand, shared a unique relationship, which he claimed introduced him to formative experiences involving sex as a teenager.
	His, this is Russell Brand's 2007 memoir, exposed the trip he took with Ronald to Hong Kong, where he said he lost his virginity to a sex worker paid for by his dad.
	The actor was 17 at the time and revealed that afterwards he found himself, quote, engaged in an increasingly desperate quest to satisfy his growing sexual appetite.
	He wrote in his book, quote, the episode that defined my relationship with women that occurred in Hong Kong with my dad.
	I was 17. On day one, we went to some sleazy dive.
	Before long, I was sat on a bar stool with a Filipino called Mary Lou.
	There we were, leaving in a cab with three Asian prostitutes.
	My dad was drunk and luring.
	Back in the hotel, my dad set about unwrapping his two prostitutes.
	I sat on the edge of the other twin bed.
	She must have known I was a virgin as soon as the bungling encounter commenced.
	So it sounds like his father took him to Hong Kong and sat in the room while he was deflowered by an Asian prostitute.
	That's the skeevy part.
	I don't remember that in any sections of the Bible.
	I mean, there was, I guess, Mary Magdalene.
	But, nonetheless, that is some skeevy, skeevy gross stuff.
	A brand was raised by his mother, Barbara, who married Ronald in 1969.
	Boy, I bet you that was the year he got married for non-accidental reasons, and split from the star's dad when he was just six months old.
	At eight years old, Brand's mom was diagnosed with uterine cancer and breast cancer, following which he was cared for by other family members.
	In 2017, Brand explained that his mom was fighting cancer for the sixth time and undergoing chemotherapy.
	Brand's tell-all novel, my bookie-wook, suggested the star had been abused as a child, though Brand chose to conceal the identity of the perpetrator.
	He said, and I quote, I was touched as a child, and I felt a warping like flexed glass.
	Not entirely unpleasant.
	It was, after all, a tension, but I knew it was a glitch, like a memory I was waiting to have.
	Like a stone on a path I knew I would not pass, but pause to pick up and carry with me uneasily in my pocket.
	Yeah, the more analogous it gets, usually the worse the abuse was.
	So, yeah, he says that he was sexually abused as a child, and Lord knows what skeevy stuff his dad exposed him to.
	We certainly know what Russell Brand claims and all of that.
	So... Russell Brand wrote, So this is all the self-talk that he has as a child.
	So, sounds more like a 1950s Cockney accent, not ugly enough.
	Well, that is just...
	I mean, it's absolutely appalling stuff.
	I remember my ex read my bookie book around 2009.
	I think he was all the rage. Every girl seemed to love him.
	Right. So, I'm here for you.
	Would you like me to explain what's going on?
	He said very arrogantly, but you know, would you like me to?
	We can do any topic. Yeah, he was married to Katy Perry for about 15 months, I think.
	Yes, you want to know what's going on?
	Right. Okay. So, some genes replicate directly through genetics.
	Other genes replicate through genetics plus environment.
	It's called epigenetics, where certain environmental cues turn genes on or off.
	Why women are attracted to him?
	I mean, he's slim-hipped.
	He's got goofy hair that's kind of attractive.
	He's got that skeevy, skull-faced, intensity Jesus thing going.
	He's a wounded, funny, pretty boy in a way, and this gets a lot of women's gonads or ovaries orbiting his black hole heart planet.
	No, he is attractive.
	No, he's a bad boy. He's attractive.
	You know, probably not To most people here, but I can certainly see how he would have a certain compelling intensity to him as a whole.
	Yeah, he's almost like 6'2", and yeah, he's woo-woo, I get that.
	He says he went into drugs to try and find spiritual meaning, which is all nonsense, and then later he says he was just trying to manage, he was just managing his own emotions.
	But no, he's got those hollow cheeks, he's got those intense eyes, he's 48, he's got his, I mean, maybe he's had hair transplants, I don't know.
	But he's also very wealthy, he's very famous, and he's very funny.
	And women do enjoy, right, women's dark undertow of personality, the fact that they tend to interpret things in a negative manner.
	For most women, a man's good humor, his positivity, his good sense of humor, is literally the helium balloon that keeps them from drowning in the depths of their own negative undertows.
	Does that make sense? I mean, if you're caught in an undertow, you desperately need someone to pull you up and out, otherwise you're going to drown.
	So... Like my crazy ex who had a thing for Jack Sparrow and Heath Ledger's Joker.
	Well, if that ain't a cry for help, I don't know what it is, right?
	Laughter produces feel-good endorphins.
	Yeah, Katy Perry said that she married him because he was hilarious, right?
	And, you know, I'm sure he's a funny guy, but...
	And having no filter is attractive to people, right?
	He's like a male Paris Hilton.
	Nobody knows why he's famous.
	No, sorry, that's not actually quite correct.
	He is an actor.
	He was actually in Kenneth Branagh's Death on the Nile recently where he played a very moderate character.
	Yeah, so he's an actor. He was a television show host on Big Brother.
	He's a stand-up comedian.
	He writes books.
	He has a book that was going to come out about recovering from addiction.
	I think he's been clean for like a decade and a half or something like that.
	Yeah, so he's definitely talented.
	He studied acting.
	He was kicked out, I think, of two acting schools, if I remember rightly.
	Yeah, he's good at being interviewed.
	He runs a podcast. He has an internet show on YouTube.
	And, I mean, he's getting hit pretty hard, these allegations, right?
	So these allegations, I don't think charges have even been brought yet.
	He denies them all, of course.
	And he's been dumped by his agent.
	His tours have been canceled.
	His book has been canceled.
	His YouTube channel has been demonetized.
	And, you know, he was estimated to be earning about a million pounds a year, I think, off his YouTube channel.
	So... It's rough.
	And, you know, I think he's got a wife.
	I think his wife's pregnant. He's got some kids.
	And I think he's holed up in his five million pound mansion or something like that.
	But he's also facing charges in Los Angeles.
	Potentially, again, we don't know what's going to happen out of these interviews and so on.
	But, yeah, he's going to have a...
	Yeah, he admits being promiscuous, but he's already said that.
	But it says it was all consensual.
	All right. His truthful content is intense and engaging.
	I get why people watch him.
	Well, he, you know, I want to talk, right?
	But he compliments his audience, which I appreciate and understand.
	Hello! Hello, you awakening wonders, right?
	So he, you know, he's very sort of charming and all of that.
	This is like Louis C.K. I think Louis C.K. was not, it was not as intense.
	It was not as intense as the accusations that are coming out here.
	I'd rather watch Steph than Russell.
	Have I introduced you guys to bitter Steph?
	For a while? Like, has it been a while?
	Since you've seen Bitterstaff?
	I'm just... I can't remember.
	Have you seen Bitterstaff?
	I can't remember. Hit me with a Y if you've seen Bitterstaff before.
	You want Sourstaff?
	Okay, I said Bitterstaff.
	Don't rewrite me, bro.
	Yes, it's a little scary.
	Not sure. Would you like to see Bitterstaff?
	Would you like to see Bitterstaff?
	You like nice stuff? I like nice stuff too.
	But would you like to see bitter stuff?
	Because I'm not always nice.
	We've done petty stuff before.
	You want to get bitter?
	You want to get bitter? Can you do it in a British accent?
	I'm sort of stuck in a British accent.
	All right. Give me the great instigating goading, please.
	Could you... You think you saw a hint of bitter stuff when Joe Rogan got his $100 million contract all the way up through Tencent to Chinese government stuff?
	Angry stuff is always available.
	One to ten, how bitter do you want me to be?
	I'm just, you know, are you going to goad me?
	Like, one to ten, how bitter do you have?
	Six, seven, ten...
	11, 9. 10, baby, 10.
	9. Inches of my bitterness.
	Mixed drink with bitters. 6.9 for this occasion.
	PH2 acidity. Oh, science joke.
	Nice. 10.
	Imagine someone stole your hair.
	All right. All right.
	Enter Bitterstaff. Okay, Bitterstaff goes a little something like this.
	So, I was looking on social media just out of curiosity, just out of curiosity.
	Russell Brand is an admitted, I mean, degenerate, I think he would say that, wildly promiscuous, drug addict, I think alcoholic, just, you know, a mess of a human being.
	It's not like he's elevated the culture very much.
	And he admits to have used women like Kleenexes, like just really plowed through and trashed women, particularly younger women.
	And look, I get everyone's an adult, but there's a power dynamic and a power disparity here that's pretty important.
	Which is you've got a 31-year-old guy and a 16-year-old girl.
	Now, what 16-year-old girl is going to be approached by a tall, slender, good-looking, famous, rich, powerful celebrity and say, oh, no, I'm waiting for the pimply-faced guy in the back corner to ask me to go to the pizza place or get some fish and chips, right? So she's going to have a tough time saying no.
	Now, why do women say yes to this stuff, or in this case, girls?
	Now, the age of consent in England is 16, so apparently he was quite keen on Learning that before he went ahead with the relationship.
	But, but, but, why is she doing it?
	Well, she gets clout.
	She gets a story. She gets the envy of her classmates.
	She gets to post on social media.
	I don't know if she ever did or not, and I don't know her motivations, but women as a
	whole, girls as a whole.
	And maybe deep down she thinks, well, he's just going to fall in love with me.
	The Fifty Shades of Grey guy was very rich, famous, powerful, and beautiful, and he fell
	in love with a girl who worked where?
	In a hardware store for, I assume, minimum wage.
	So there's always this idea, she's going to yeet me out of my life and yeet me into the
	celebrity life, and I'm going to get to meet all these famous and cool people, and I'm
	going to walk the red carpet, and I'm going to be dressed in Christian Dior, and my life
	is going to blah, right?
	So it's really tough.
	For women to say no to a celebrity when they're unknown, particularly if the celebrity is high status among the other females, again, tall, slender, good-looking, wealthy, attractive, and so on.
	Very, very tough to say no.
	Now, 16 wouldn't be my choice about the age of consent, but at least it's better than Mexico, which is 12 in some places.
	So that is Russell Brandt.
	Now, Russell Brand.
	Again, I think he's cleaned up.
	He claims to have cleaned up the drugs.
	I have no reason to disbelieve him.
	I think he's cleaned up the promiscuity.
	But he was a pretty skeevy guy for a long time.
	Plus, he's a bit of a Bernie bro.
	He's a bit of a lefty.
	And although he's got the old lefty skepticism for corporations, that used to be the case before lefties began to take over and control corporations.
	And it seems like they don't have any problem with corporations anymore.
	But, bitter stir.
	Grrrr. Grrrr.
	Grrrr. So Bitter Steph goes a little something like this.
	Oh boy, you know, all these people that I used to be colleagues and friends with and interviewed some of them, many of them, you know, promoted, read their books, promoted their channels, kind of got them going because I was a bit of an OG in this space, having been in it since 2005.
	So, you know, I help people come along.
	No regrets about that. They did well.
	They did good and so on.
	But boy, just seeing everyone out there when Russell Brand is accused of these terrible things, And has led a life of significant degeneracy, seeing all the people rush loudly and vociferously to his defense.
	You know, I try to be mature.
	I really, really do.
	And I think to a large part I succeed in that Maturity.
	But I'm straight up with you people.
	I wouldn't be lying if I wasn't just like, oh...
	This guy, you defend.
	This guy, you rush to the ramparts, throw yourself in front of the spears, step on the landmines, anything to protect slimmed-hip, skeevy Jesus from this situation.
	Oh... It hurts, and that which hurts is incredibly liberating.
	So good.
	So good!
	I got you!
	Right? Oh my gosh.
	Oh my gosh.
	It's so liberating.
	Yeah, all the Republicans are rushing out to defend Russell, people I've known for years.
	Rush who didn't say boo to a mouse regarding me when I was obviously unjustly deplatformed.
	They're just rushing out all over this guy.
	All over. Oh, defend this guy and push back and he's just being attacked because he's telling truth to power and we're going to rush and defend him.
	And it's like him, him, him!
	Really? Well, y'all can have the world as far as I'm concerned.
	Yeah, take the world. It's all yours.
	I step away from the fray.
	I appreciate the unbelievable, clear, supernova in my brain communication.
	This is who you go to the wall for.
	This guy. You go to the wall for.
	Ah. Yeah, it's incredibly liberating for me.
	I'm very glad I didn't stay in that space.
	Given the people what remain.
	Given the people what remain.
	That's the guy they go to the wall for.
	That's the guy they risk everything to defend.
	I don't know what they're risking.
	Maybe something, maybe not. They finally have found someone to rally around.
	And it's a highly degenerate ex-drug addict accused of criminal stuff.
	Skeeve comedian.
	We must link arms, brothers, and create a phalanx of outrage around skeevy Jesus.
	Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
	Oh, my God.
	Oh, I don't know.
	How do people live with the...
	How do people live with themselves?
	Explain it to me, people.
	I just don't understand. None shall pass!
	We are defending tall, beanpole, scraggly-eyed, extra-gallic guy.
	It has to be the hair.
	Yes, he does look like a Chia pet plugged into the mains, right?
	Oh, it's just wild.
	Thank you.
	It's just wild.
	I mean, you know, he's a leftist.
	He defends state power, state force, and so on.
	He thinks that by attacking the corporations, he's somehow defending the state or something like that.
	Steph, it's only because you lost your British accent.
	Yeah, it's really something.
	Brand was less controversial than you, Steph.
	Maybe that's why he's easier to defend.
	Brand has great teeth for a Brit.
	Hey, so do I. Can you talk like an American?
	I mean, I can talk a little bit like an American.
	I just reviewed the Wild West video that I recorded a little while ago, and some guy, a good friend of mine, I guess, he did put some video images to it, and I think it's come out real good.
	When Steph was banned, only Peter Schiff said something about it that I remember.
	Well, I think... I think...
	No, there were a couple of other people.
	I think Mike Cernovich said a couple of things, which was nice, and Dave Smith, maybe?
	I don't remember Tom Woods.
	Maybe, yeah, maybe. Yeah, Styx for sure.
	Styx for sure. Poor Buckethead.
	I think I have tech issues, man.
	Styx is getting completely hobbled and crippled.
	So, yeah, it was a little something because I'm just like, wow, people really go into the wall for this guy.
	Wow, are they ever circling the wagons for this guy?
	I mean, wow.
	That's amazing. Because this guy did, in my view, not illegal, it's age of consent stuff, but he prayed at the age of 31 on a 16-year-old girl.
	Oh, we'll defend that guy!
	Not the happily married peaceful parenting guy of 20 plus years.
	Ha ha ha ha.
	Ahhhh.
	Teenage Lolita guy. Yeah!
	That's... Really protect that guy.
	It's so gross. It's like a Me Too moment with a porcupine down your pants.
	And I think we've all been there at one time or another.
	other if we haven't we've dreamed about it.
	It's uh, it's wild.
	Again, intensely liberating.
	Intensely liberating. Freedom!
	All right. So do you want to know what's really going on here?
	What's really going on? So as I mentioned, we'll talk epigenetics.
	So epigenetics are when genes are turned on and off based upon environmental cues.
	So there are boys who are born with a certain kind of warrior gene, and if they're exposed to physical abuse, that warrior gene activates and makes them significantly more aggressive.
	The age of consent stuff is based on a range.
	I don't think that's the case in the UK. Russell Brand seems to have been very keen to find out that she was 16 for legal reasons.
	So I don't know.
	I'm not a British lawyer, but I don't know if it's an age gap thing.
	So what is going on with promiscuity?
	And in particular, with childhood sexual abuse.
	Thank you for the tips, by the way.
	I will get you your tip questions.
	I really appreciate it. And I hope that you will check out the show that I uploaded, freedomain.locals.com.
	I did an hour today on some really, gosh, you guys have the best questions in their own universe.
	You tickle my brain with a Faustian, eat me, beat me, licorice whip, feather of exorbitant intellect tickling.
	So... Childhood sexual abuse is there to promote promiscuity.
	So promiscuity is when your genes for our selection are stimulated by premature childhood sexual experiences.
	It could be sexual abuse, of course, exposure to porn, seeing your parents repeatedly having sex, and so on.
	So the earlier that you are exposed to sex, the more likely it is you are to become promiscuous, right?
	So what's happening, of course, is that It's a way for the genes, the epigenetics to reproduce Which is to continually aim at promiscuity, and particularly to be drawn to younger people.
	In this case, of course, somebody who was not legally adult.
	I don't think you're legally adult at 16 in England, but somebody with whom it was legal to have sex.
	So you're drawn towards younger and younger girls.
	And the reason for that is that the more you expose younger people to sexual experiences, the more you will trigger promiscuity, which then turns on the promiscuity Epigenetics, and that's how they reproduce.
	Does this make sense? This is what he's doing, right?
	You can join the army at the age of 16 in the UK? Yeah.
	All right. Is drinking 18, 21?
	I don't think it's 19 in Canada.
	Yeah, so that's what, it's 18 in the UK. I guess it would have to be, otherwise there'd be a rather brain-sodden revolution.
	So does this make sense?
	So this is what he's up to, and he's out there to traumatize the pair bonding.
	He's a super-spreader of the epigenetics of promiscuity.
	Yeah, his R-selected genes are activated, and then he has ridiculously serial sexual encounters.
	One girl claims that she was assaulted because she wouldn't have, or after she refused to have a threesome with Russell Brand, or a ninesome if you include his ego.
	So yeah, he's a super spreader of the epigenetics of promiscuity, or the epigenetics of R-selected stuff.
	And it really is a satanic offer, right?
	Why do you have... Why do you have worth?
	Why do you have worth?
	Oh, well, I slept with Russell Brand, you see.
	Oh, I'm that attractive.
	And does he have a kid? I think he's got some kids now.
	His wife might even be pregnant, if I remember reading that rightly.
	But, yeah, it's pretty rough.
	And it is, of course...
	It's pretty wild to watch the left now have a problem with promiscuity.
	But, yeah, I mean... That's the devilish bargain.
	Hey man, take what you want.
	There'll never be a price for it. Just take what you want.
	But of course, if you have a past like this, and there have been lots of rumors about the guy for many years, I have no idea what's true, what's false.
	I have no idea what's true, what's false.
	But he's had a reputation as being, or he's admitted to being wildly, it's wildly promiscuous.
	That's the kind of promiscuity that makes your average 22-year-old gay man look like he's in the monastery.
	Although maybe that's the case in the monastery too, I don't know.
	But it's pretty wild to watch the left get bothered by promiscuity at this point in the whole situation.
	And apparently some of these media started interviewing people about Russell Brand in 2019.
	I mean, four years in the making, right?
	Now, why do you think people aren't believing these accusations?
	Or why do you think that they find them not objective or not credible?
	A lot of them, right? Fake news, the timing.
	Oh yeah, Russell Brand has been critical of some power centrists in the world for sure.
	The timing, yeah.
	Not many people trust the media these days.
	No, sorry, I hate to be annoying about this, but this I'm very sure of.
	Of course, it doesn't mean I'm right. Just because I'm sure it doesn't mean I'm right.
	And if I'm wrong, please let me know.
	The reason that nobody's believing this stuff...
	Because it's post-Epstein, right?
	Because it's post-Epstein.
	And what the media didn't do, right?
	So when the media claims to be horrified that somebody potentially sexually exploited a younger person...
	I mean, post-Epstein, it's like you step over the body to claim to whatever, right?
	Oh, Jordan Peterson had Russell Brand on his podcast.
	It's really tough, man.
	This Yes Out of Freedom guy is getting it.
	Yeah, it's really tough.
	It's horrible. I mean, because, of course, rape is one of the most ugly, vicious, and vile crimes that's possible.
	And it is...
	Really tough. Because generally, I mean, there could be witnesses, there can be text messages that are incriminating and so on.
	And of course, I remember I did a show many years ago about a Canadian broadcaster, John Gomeshi, who was criticized for this kind of stuff or It was claimed that he had engaged in sexual misconduct.
	Now, do you know, of course, if the woman has been beaten up and she has tears in her reproductive organs and there's semen evidence and bruises, then she goes to the police, she does the rape kit, and then, I mean, that's pretty clear, right? That's pretty clear, right?
	So... The law, obviously, can handle that.
	I don't know how the law can handle he said, she said.
	Two people are alone. There's no evidence of physical damage.
	There's no bruising. There's no evidence, no torn clothing, nothing like that.
	So there's nothing physical to differentiate between consensual and non-consensual.
	The woman claims it was non-consensual.
	And how can the law prove beyond a reasonable doubt when there's no physical evidence and it's word versus word?
	Easy believe all women.
	No, that's not, I mean, obviously that's not a valid legal principle.
	I know you're kind of joking, right?
	But so what can the law do?
	So generally, what the law has done, what the common law has done, I don't know if you guys know how the law has tried to handle this.
	This he said she said stuff I Just wanna I know it's it's tough on
	I'm talking and you're typing so it takes a little bit of a lag here but
	how does the law handle that he said she said stuff Yeah, Danny Masterson's about three decades now.
	Most police won't take a he says, she says file to the prosecutor, and if they do, the prosecutor usually does nothing.
	If you've been hurt, it's sad, it's tough, but you better have some evidence or no one will listen to you.
	They side with the women. So there's two different views there.
	Whoever is more credible as assessed by the jury.
	The prosecutor would bring a case.
	Is it really so far-fetched to imagine him taking it too far during a drug-fueled encounter?
	Well, maybe, but got to bring in character witnesses and such.
	Sorry to be annoying. It's just because I studied this before.
	So the way that the law attempts to deal with this is through similarity of reports, right?
	Similarity of reports. So let's say that we don't have to talk about anybody here or make up a guy named...
	Daniel, right? So let's say Daniel is accused of rape, but there's no violence, right?
	Maybe he just whispers threats or whatever it is, like, I'll kill your family if you don't, whatever.
	So he just whispers threats, and then the women submit.
	But let's say that he mutters a Latin phrase, right?
	Which is a very, very unusual thing.
	So in the past, when common law was developed over the last, I don't know, 1,000 years or whatever, even before that if you count Rome or Greece.
	So what happens is you look for Similarity of story.
	Like, he did this, he did that, he put on this song, and then he whispered this Latin phrase.
	Now, if, think of sort of, I don't know, 200 years ago, if you've got five women in five different cities all saying the same thing, then that's a commonality of evidence.
	And that is one way that you overcome the he said, she said.
	Like, what are the odds that all these three women who don't know each other, who've never communicated before, have the same story about how this guy does what he does?
	So that is how the law attempted to overcome the he said, she said, which is how could it be possible that five women would know that he put this particular song on, said this Latin phrase, and then did what he did, right?
	But, of course...
	That was before the modern internet and age of communication.
	You can find people and you can have self-shredding messaging apps and so on.
	So, yeah, how do you know whether they know each other or not?
	So this is another problem that they had.
	I think this was a problem in the John Gomeshi trial as well, if I remember rightly so.
	But don't quote me on it. Go look it up.
	But that's a big challenge.
	It's a big, big challenge.
	So... It's tough.
	It's tough. It's a very, very tough situation.
	It's awful and I don't know how they're going to, you know, this stuff.
	Some of it is 15 years old or it's going to be, it's very tough.
	It's very tough. And this is why society poured heart, mind, body, and soul into trying to get people married off as soon as humanly possible, right?
	As soon as humanly possible.
	So, after his childhood he sort of had a chance at a normal life
	and family.
	family.
	So, do you spread your dysfunction or do you contain your dysfunction, right?
	I mean, this is the big question if you've had a bad childhood, right?
	Are you a super spreader or are you an immunizer, so to speak, right?
	I've done my very best as a public figure to try and immunize people against bad childhoods by talking about peaceful parenting and modeling it and demonstrating it and all that kind of stuff.
	So I have tried to be as hard as possible.
	You guys are the ultimate judges of how well I've done on that.
	But I've tried to be somebody who immunizes people against a bad childhood rather than being a super spreader of bad childhoods by modeling and promoting decadence, exploitation, and crappy short-term R-selected behavior.
	Steph, do you think Brand has redeemed himself through his work on YouTube?
	What do you mean, redeemed himself?
	I don't... I mean, I know what the word redeemed means.
	Overcome his demons?
	What are you talking about? No, no, I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry. No, I'm...
	Oh, see, I mean, bitter stuff's floating around my brain like a black hole sun, so I'm going to try and be nice about this.
	He redeemed himself through his work on YouTube?
	The guy slept with a thousand or two thousand women.
	Do you know the damage that he's done?
	Do you know the damage that he's done?
	How is being skeptical about big pharma and the military industrial complex healing the women that, in my view, he exploited?
	See, there's no big cosmic bank, right?
	If I steal Your dog.
	And then later I give to a cat shelter.
	have I redeemed myself? No, because you don't have your dog back!
	Now, if he had called up these women and apologized and maybe some restitution,
	some therapy, I don't know, because you don't get to make restitution in general.
	Restitution is specific to the people you've harmed.
	What did he do to the 16-year-old girl?
	Thank you.
	you What did he do to the 16-year-old girl?
	Now, what was done to him was very bad.
	What was done to Russell Brand as a child by his father, you know, his mother obviously married the dad, so that's bad, and her illness was traumatic.
	His father had taken him to Hong Kong for prostitution, 17.
	That's horrible. And the sexual abuse that seems to have happened to him as a kid, absolutely terrible.
	Absolutely terrible. Absolutely terrible.
	But what did he do to the 16-year-old girl?
	The fact that he, I don't know, said some minorly based stuff on YouTube, how does that?
	No, Will Chamberlain, wasn't he like 10,000?
	How does that fix her heart?
	Right? Do you want me to trace what happened to the 16-year-old?
	I don't know. It's dark stuff, right?
	Do you want me to... Do you want me to trace that?
	It's not gonna be fun. So I don't want to talk about this woman.
	I don't know her. I don't know her story other than what she's reportedly said and so on.
	So I'm just gonna make up this woman named Susanna.
	Oh, Susanna. All right, so Susanna, right?
	So Susanna, in her mid-teens, Gets approached by a world-famous movie star celebrity.
	Now, clearly, he's only interested in her for her youth and her body.
	Why? Because she's 16.
	Susanna is 16. What does she have to offer other than youth and fertility signals, right?
	Youth and physical beauty.
	So he's only interested in using her for sex.
	Now, she submits to this and they go out for a couple of months and then, boom, he moves on.
	Abandons her and then what?
	I assume people know.
	People know. Now, Susanna has a prom coming up.
	Susanna has a prom coming up.
	And people know, of course, that she's been in a hypersexual relationship with a drug addict who's very famous.
	Quick question. Are you asking Susanna to the prom?
	Are you? Are you asking Susanna to the prom?
	Well, it's not just an ew thing.
	It's also like, well, what am I going to do that's going to compete with world famous celebrity guy?
	What am I going to do? I know you're going to be looking at me and saying, well, you're way poorer and way less famous and way less attractive and way less appealing than world famous movie star celebrity guy.
	What is going to happen?
	And now you can't hide anything, right?
	Did Susanna miscalculate when she consented with brand?
	Susanna... Susanna is like seven years away from brain maturity!
	She's a kid! What used to keep this at bay is fathers with shotguns.
	And I'm not kidding about that.
	Maybe it was Roman swords.
	I don't know. But that's what used to keep this.
	You 31-year-old guy, you come sniffing around a 16-year-old daughter.
	Or it's like, well, I guess we've got food for pigs and worms.
	What's her life going to be like?
	Thank you.
	What's her life gonna be like going forward?
	Who's gonna date her? Who's gonna take her to prom?
	Who's gonna hold her hand?
	Who's gonna buy her flowers?
	Who's gonna woo her?
	Everybody knows. Everybody knows.
	Everybody knows that the good guy's lost.
	Probably a series of exploitive relationships, yeah.
	And of course, why would he pray?
	In my view, it's praying.
	Why would the movie star pray on this girl?
	Because she's unprotected.
	Is she going to spend any time trying to get to know any guys either?
	No. Because she's been used like a piece of meat and discarded.
	Like a pizza box.
	In the garbage. He has so many options, and he chooses a kid.
	No, remember, he's a vehicle as a super spreader.
	The genes choose the kid.
	Right? So the genes, the addiction is to lower any resistance so that the genes can have their way.
	At least Brand is not woke, though.
	Oh, fuck.
	Oh, God.
	I can't even. I can't even!
	Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
	No, thank you. Thank you very much.
	Now, what's our future going to be?
	Everywhere she goes, she's going to be, oh, you know, Susanna, she's the girl who slept with that movie star when he was
	like twice her age.
	How many bitter feminists does this movie star predator leave in his wake?
	his wake.
	Thank you for watching!
	Everywhere she goes!
	Oh, that's the... that's the girl who had this...
	sex affair with the movie star.
	I mean, imagine... imagine you go to a movie and the movie star shows up.
	Some guy takes the girl to the movie.
	Hey, didn't you... didn't you bang that guy when you were a kid?
	I saw a woman who came out in the TV dating naked and she says all men dump her when they find out she came out in
	that TV show.
	show.
	Oh... Yeah, I mean, Russell Brand still loves Jeremy Corbyn, doesn't he?
	He's still socialist-y and all of that.
	Man, it's just sad.
	You know, the fellow traveler or savior compulsion that's on the right is really cucked and pathetic.
	It's like the right is just this cuck chair at the corner of the dingy hotel room, right?
	Yeah, Roman Polanski absolutely did prey on a child.
	And he got a standing ovation.
	standing ovation whereas Ilya Kazan the guy who discovered Marlon Brando and
	directed On the Waterfront and Streetcar Named Desire and other great stuff
	totally blacklisted for decades because he pointed out that communists had a lot
	of power in Hollywood yeah it's it's wild
	Woody Allen? Wasn't it his stepdaughter?
	He married? I don't know.
	God, we need a Borax shower after this kind of conversations, right?
	Suk-Yen Lee?
	Something like that. Yeah, well, what's he going to do?
	How is he going to...
	How is the movie star guy...
	How is he going to restore the dating and marriage prospects of the child?
	Whatever happened to Katy Perry?
	Weren't they married? Yeah, they were married for about 15 minutes, and I don't think she ever said why they broke up.
	Maybe it had something to do with this that she found out about.
	I don't know. Other stuff. Jerry Lewis, he did marry a teenager and he was a cousin.
	If I remember, I have something, something truly tragic and southern.
	Yeah, yeah, crazy.
	Elvis was married to a girl that Lisa Marie was, and she was really young when they got together.
	Ooooooh!
	Yeah. It's rough, you know, it's rough.
	Jimmy Page, oh yeah, Jimmy Page, David Bowie, Steve Tyler from Aerosmith, just a wretched group of people back then preying on girls.
	Yeah, Brooke Shields did semi-nude stuff when she was very young.
	Yeah, it's really gross.
	Oh, God! This is the world without fathers.
	This is the world without fathers.
	This is the world without fathers.
	All right. Let us get to our question.
	Steph, if he's innocent of criminal wrongdoing, but was morally wrong for harming a thousand women or girls, would
	you have any sympathy if he's convicted?
	My friend, Benilio...
	Bye.
	You're welcome.
	Thank you for the tip, Josh.
	My friend, Benilio, what on earth are you talking about?
	If he's innocent of criminal wrongdoing, how on earth would I know?
	Oh, but he's gone through the court system.
	Yeah, the court system.
	Okay. Would you have any sympathy if he is...
	So if he's innocent, but he's convicted, how on earth would I know?
	I mean, I don't have any pipeline to omniscience to find out whether Russell Brand or whoever did good things or bad things or has lied about or some tell the truth about.
	I don't know. I don't know.
	Why on earth would you want to create these theoreticals that require omniscience which is utterly unavailable to mortal beings?
	Well, Staff, if you knew absolutely everything in the universe...
	Okay, I'm going to hold you right there.
	We can't. We don't.
	I don't do theoreticals based on impossible situations.
	I don't do theoreticals based on impossible situations.
	How on earth would I know whether he's innocent or criminal wrongdoing?
	How would I know if he's convicted if it happened?
	How would I know if he's not convicted if it didn't happen?
	I don't know. I don't know.
	It's not who cares.
	It doesn't exist. The question doesn't exist.
	The situation doesn't exist.
	Okay, Steph, if you lived in the year 3000, it's like, no, no, don't live in the year, oh, okay, 1000, no, don't, I don't do theoreticals that are impossible.
	Lots of people on the right won't criticize Brand because he's innocent until proven guilty.
	So they defend Brandt because he's innocent until proven guilty.
	But they didn't defend me.
	Okay, I see the objective logic behind their approach.
	Um...
	Uh, you deserve to defense.
	I don't see how.
	I don't know what does it mean to deserve something.
	I don't have any contracts with people.
	I don't know. What do you mean?
	I'm genuinely curious what you mean by I deserved a defense.
	People should have defended me. I don't deserve that.
	I don't have contracts.
	Right? Never broke a law or UPB. Yeah.
	Yeah, yeah, for sure. So, yeah, I don't know what it means by deserved.
	They defend Brand because he's on their team, Alternative Media, and they're fighting against establishment media.
	I was the founder of the team of Alternative Media.
	I don't understand this defense at all.
	They defend Brand because he's on their team, Alternative Media.
	I mean, I didn't single-handle he started, but I was first out of the gate and got a lot of people going on it, so...
	But, of course, the establishment media is attacking a competitor and there's a conflict
	of interest to some degree to that.
	I first started getting things going in 2005 and I was like guy 3 or guy 5 on YouTube and all of that.
	So back when it was 240p, 100 meg limit to uploads.
	All kinds of stuff.
	Your right to participate in the interconnected discussion that existed on the internet before severe censorship should have been respected.
	I hear what you're saying.
	Your interconnected discussion that existed on the internet.
	I mean, I created a lot of that discussion.
	I got people prominent and got them in touch with each other and all of that.
	And that's, you know, that was fun and I'm glad that I did it.
	Sort of 2006 to 2016 was the Wild West of liberty and all of that.
	Should have been respected.
	But I'm an empiricist, so...
	I'm not even sure I wanted people to defend me, to be honest.
	See, I don't know if I can get this across, because it's a tough and complicated one, but it might be very liberating for you.
	It might be liberating for you.
	I didn't violate YouTube Terms of Service.
	I don't think so, obviously.
	I don't want people to do things other than be themselves.
	Thanks.
	Does this make sense?
	You say, well, I wanted people to do X, Y, or Z. No.
	I'm an empiricist.
	So I want people to be their true, authentic selves so I know who they are.
	I don't want them to camouflage themselves by conforming to any of my expectations.
	I try to go out there in the world without expectations.
	Because I don't want expectations to interfere with people's free expression of their authentic selves.
	Now, their authentic selves may be good, bad, or indifferent.
	But I, you know, I deserve this.
	I should have gotten that.
	It's like, no, I want people to make their decisions clearly according to their own conscience without external pressure from me.
	I don't want my thumb on the scale.
	I don't want to bribe the judge.
	I don't want to influence the referee.
	I want people to do...
	I mean, did I get out there and shame people or bully people or anything like that?
	No, because I want them to do what they do of their own free will and volition so I know who the hell they are.
	It's the principles that need defending.
	Freedom of speech. Yes?
	Well, but freedom of speech was only allowable.
	When there were gatekeepers.
	So freedom of speech was a principle that was allowed only as long as you could control what went out to the general public through control over newspapers, televisions, magazines, and so on.
	And colleges and universities.
	So freedom of speech was very important when there was no possibility the average person being able to influence or change anything or communicate with anyone based on freedom of speech.
	Does that make sense? Like freedom of speech was a really, really important value until it was actually possible For the average person to practice effective free speech.
	Now, once the average person could effectively practice free speech, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, free speech, that's something we just talk about.
	It's something that we write down, but if people actually have it and it's changing things and arguments are getting out that we don't want, no, no, no, freedom of speech is fine when we have the gatekeepers, but without the gatekeepers, well, we're going to have to change things around a little bit.
	Ain't so much fun, right?
	Yeah. Yeah, no, freedom of speech is great until there's actually freedom of speech.
	Oh yeah.
	Oh yeah.
	Do you think that the alternative media were also distracted by COVID and so didn't prioritize defending you?
	Thank you.
	Bye!
	No. No.
	No. No, listen, don't give people excuses.
	Don't give me excuses. Don't give censors excuses.
	Don't give people excuses. Well, what if they were...
	Don't give them excuses.
	Please. It's an insult to free will to give people excuses.
	All right. Hi, Steph.
	I wonder, have you any thoughts on globalization?
	To my mind, it is one of the greatest causes of human woe.
	It has affected the structure of society and thus our lives.
	It has removed the primary activities from out of the hands of the community.
	Australia has lost over 90% of its manufacturing, and from what I've read, over 98% of industry.
	And food production has grown by 5% of the population out West.
	How can there be community meaning when we don't manage these activities, or our own activities?
	Yeah, well, I mean...
	The government buys votes by driving up the cost of production.
	Environmental groups are funded by foreign governments and activists to shut down manufacturing of the host country.
	I mean, you know that some environmental activists are funded by Saudi Arabia to shut down Western production of oil so that the Saudis can sell more oil, right?
	So it's all government stuff.
	So I don't look at particular things.
	Just look at the general principle.
	Hey, Steph, I've been mulling over what you said in the Ancient Rome show about digging in versus fleeing, and I have some questions for you.
	How do you know when it's time to leave the country?
	Do you think it's still too early?
	And will you tell us when you go, and to what country?
	Thank you so much. I don't talk that much about my life and big decisions as a whole, so I'm not sure I can commit to that.
	I don't know. See, to ask me when...
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	Should I stay or should I go?
	To ask me is different because I assume that you're not some prominent guy, you know, whatever.
	So your choices may be very different, may be very different from mine.
	So I can't tell you when you should stay, when you should go, what your decision points should be.
	Expose yourself to information and your gut will give you the tipping point.
	Your gut will give you the tipping point.
	Hello. Thank you, Marilla.
	Sam, in the ongoing cultural war, is it a coincidence that the rise of aboriginal activism, reparations, and paying the rent is Marxist in and out?
	Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure. It's just a form of victory guilt, right?
	So Marxism is a form of victory guilt, like you win, and the person who's lost wants to make you feel guilty so that you give them resources if they want, right?
	If you build an ark, let me know.
	Well, you know, I haven't built an ark, but I would say my entire career has been kind of an ark.
	All right. If you would like to tip, I would be very happy to do that.
	To receive your tips, you can tip, of course, on Rumble as well as all of that.
	And you should check out what Rumble wrote to the British government.
	It's actually quite interesting.
	All right. Freedom of speech is a euphemism for subverting Christianity.
	Thinkers like Vox Dei have made me skeptical towards the Enlightenment project in its entirety.
	Well, there's no freedom of speech in government classrooms, right?
	There's no freedom of speech in government classrooms.
	And, I mean, I remember sitting there with my hand up and, you know, not being called on because I had something important to say.
	I mean, there's no freedom of speech.
	You can't disagree. You can't fight back.
	And this is all the way through college, undergraduate, master's degree, PhDs, post-doctorate.
	There's no freedom of speech. Children are shoved after these places where they're not allowed to speak freely.
	So there's no freedom of speech.
	Wherever there's coercion, there's no freedom of speech.
	So everybody talks about freedom of speech.
	It's like, well, what about freedom of speech for children?
	They're not allowed to criticize, to be skeptical, to attack positions that are considered sacrosanct and holy by the generally low IQ brain muffins that come out of the educational department.
	So there's no freedom of speech for kids.
	And how many times do you hear people talk about freedom of speech for kids?
	Do you know what the most essential freedom of speech in my life is?
	It's my daughter. I want my daughter to have pure freedom of speech, to disagree, to argue, to oppose, and not just to talk about it, to be able to act on it.
	So freedom of speech is absolutely essential for children.
	Who talks about freedom of speech for kids?
	Do you see just how unbelievably big it is?
	Our children, our attitudes towards children, we don't ever think about their rights.
	We don't ever think, well, if we want freedom of speech, first place we've got to have it is kids, which means the kids have to be allowed to disagree.
	Now, of course, in the Soviet Union, under communism, communism was perfect, you see, and so if you disagreed with or disliked communism, you must be mentally ill, and they drug the living crap out of your brain and turn it into a can of pea soup.
	I mean, how is that different from psych meds in government school?
	Well, government schools are perfect if you have a problem with government schools.
	There's got to be something wrong with your brain.
	It's chemical imbalance.
	You've got to be broken in the brain to not love this school.
	Ah. Listen, I appreciate the thought.
	If you can hold off on the $1 tips, I'd appreciate that.
	Because if you only have a buck, please, please keep it for yourself.
	Don't give it to me. That's very kind, but I appreciate that.
	Steph already fled to Antarctica.
	That's all the tech issues.
	You're not even allowed to go to Antarctica, are you?
	At least the comments section is nicer nowadays.
	Oh, I miss the spice!
	I miss the spice sometimes.
	I really enjoyed that spiciness.
	Regarding run or hunker in personally, I and some friends with shared high standards and values have moved close to each other.
	It really helps to have a support network around.
	Very true. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
	How often do the teachers say nice things, right?
	Yeah, the southern lights behind you there.
	Yeah, yeah. You're not even allowed to fly over Antarctica?
	I actually want to go to Antarctica.
	Steph, do you think extreme promiscuity is borderline immoral or it's amoral and more related to aesthetically preferable behavior?
	Does it even matter how it's categorized?
	Have we done a rant?
	Have we done a rant? Have we done a rant?
	Just, uh... This show?
	I don't know.
	I did have half an oatmeal cookie this afternoon, so I'm jazzed, baby!
	Alright.
	Yeah, we can probably...
	...rant.
	Yeah, we can probably rant.
	Are you ready? You ready?
	You ready? You ready? So, here's the question.
	Do you think extreme promiscuity is borderline immoral or it's amoral and more related to aesthetically preferable behavior?
	Does it matter how it is categorized?
	So promiscuity is one thing and one thing only.
	Oh, thank you for the tip!
	Somebody says, thank you for tonight's show.
	I've always learned something which is relevant to my self-improvement.
	Please squeeze in a rant.
	I will try to squeeze in a rant.
	We will get it in like fudge packing a Japanese subway car.
	When you donate at freedomain.com slash donate, feel free to let us know here with a question.
	Yes, that's a pretty good way to do it too.
	So, yeah, promiscuity is one thing and it is one thing only.
	Promiscuity is a government program.
	Promiscuity is a government program.
	Why is there promiscuity?
	Because the economic consequences of promiscuity are erased by the state.
	You follow?
	The economic consequences of promiscuity are erased by the state.
	Because we have a gynocentric voting system, the truth about these things can't really get out.
	If the truth is out, right, if kids were taught in school, yes, you know, the more sexual partners a woman has, the more likely she is to divorce you, the more likely she is to be a bad mother, the more likely she is to break your heart and steal half your stuff or whatever's going to happen.
	So, yeah, be very aware of body count, because body count is like the laser target on your forehead, three lasers, forehead, two testicles, right?
	And you're going to, she's going to pull the trigger, or at least her previous lovers are going to pull the trigger.
	So, if you knew about that, then a woman who was promiscuous...
	A man would not marry her.
	Now, a woman who doesn't get married is going to have a very tough time having kids, raising kids.
	She had a very tough time saving for her retirement.
	This is the old Samuel, Kevin Samuels line.
	It's like, how much did I save for retirement?
	He said, you need $2 million for retirement.
	Women don't have that without a partner, right?
	Women have more requirement for healthcare over the course of their lives.
	The plumbing is convoluted and complicated.
	And so, yeah, how is she going to pay all the bills?
	How is she going to raise kids?
	How is she going to retire if no guy is going to marry her?
	So promiscuity is a government program because the government steps in and removes the negative social and economic consequences and suppresses the knowledge So that promiscuity is wildly subsidized.
	Mind blown.
	Yeah, but tell me, does this make sense?
	Now, that's from the female side.
	From the male side...
	Yeah, it forces K's to pay for the Rs.
	From the male side...
	A man...
	Who had sex with a woman in the past, before the welfare state, what happened to the man who had sex with a woman before the welfare state?
	What happened? And it goes something like this.
	Shotgun! Shotgun!
	Yeah. He was called a fornicator.
	Shotgun marriage. Had to look after the child.
	You're forced to marry her. And when I was doing my research on the Wild West, about a third of the weddings were because the bride was pregnant, right?
	So you get the girl pregnant.
	It's not the end of the world. You just got to do the right thing and marry her, right?
	So male promiscuity is another government program because the government steps in, takes over, and pays for His pump and dump, right?
	Also, who pays for treating STDs?
	Who pays, in general, on average, for treating STDs?
	That's right, the friendly neighborhood government.
	Who pays for abortions?
	It's the friendly neighborhood government.
	Government. So the government will pay for STDs, abortions, kids, pregnancy care, health care, braces, medicines, everything.
	So promiscuity is, yeah, STI checks, circumcision.
	Although when I did the truth about circumcision, I mean, of course, when people were charged a couple of hundred bucks for circumcision, well, they decided not to do it.
	Right? So promiscuity, you say, well, is it moral?
	Is it immoral? It's a shadow cast by the core immorality of coercive redistribution, men of the welfare state and so on, right?
	So when I look at promiscuity, I'm just like, oh, okay, well, that's just a government program.
	Right? But doesn't government killing babies mean no future tax base?
	Doesn't government killing babies mean no future tax base?
	Permission to swear? Permission to swear?
	Doesn't the government killing babies mean no future tax base?
	Okay. What fucking politician cares about 20 years from now?
	Are you insane? Sorry to be annoying.
	Are you insane? What politician cares about 20 years from now?
	What do politicians care about?
	They care about getting re-elected.
	They care about getting elected and then they care about getting re-elected because apparently somehow through the magic slate of hand of the market they could make approximately 10,000 times their annual salary in about three minutes.
	What on earth are the government?
	So, why is the government in general pro-abortion?
	In general. Why?
	Voters, okay, let's be a little bit more specific.
	Alright, what do we got here?
	Voters. More productive women in the now.
	Less troubled calves. I don't know what that quite means.
	Get women into work. Our selection equals bigger government.
	False virtue. They cater to the sophists.
	All I can think of is satanic.
	Something to do with Moloch. It's complicated.
	Yeah, maybe. They want dysfunction.
	Killing off the poor. Short-sighted, desperate left voters.
	Keeps people promiscuous.
	Culling the herd, Steph.
	Eh. Immigrants to replace the unborn baby vote.
	80 year old politicians don't care.
	All right, let me ask you this.
	Let me ask you this. Have you ever had sex with someone way hotter than you?
	And holding up a picture of yourself when you were younger doesn't count.
	Or does it? Yes.
	Alright. Didn't hear the last part?
	Probably for the best. I'm a tenth.
	That's not possible.
	Well, you just hold up the mirror issued by the Platonic Reflection Company and you're set.
	How did you end up having sex with a partner way harder than you?
	How did that come about?
	With cash. Being myself?
	All right. How did this come about?
	I'm very eloquent.
	Being in a band? Well, let's do it.
	The best responses on the planet.
	Endless searching on the internet and being flirty?
	BDE? Being funny and alternative?
	The gym? Lifeguard?
	That'll do it. Alright.
	Good to know we got a bunch of players in the house laying on the charm.
	You lay on the charm to lay down the pop.
	Pop! I was a model.
	Very good. I was a model, but it was Model T, so I was kind of boxy.
	And you had to stop me with a crank.
	I killed myself. Arlo.
	Yeah, yeah, from the book. Telling them about how I want to end the Federal Reserve.
	That's right. I am the gold standard, baby.
	Feel my bar.
	All right. Talked about Ayn Rand?
	Yes. Well, a great thinker, but not exactly a pin-up girl.
	Pianist! That's right.
	You can always tickle the soft spots.
	Okay, so... Pro-abortion has a lot to do with...
	This would be difficult.
	Is a 10 way harder than a 9?
	No, I don't think a 10 is way harder than a 9.
	I would say just 3, right?
	I told her I listened to you.
	Nice. Nice.
	Do you know how far people will go to satisfy their kink or their fetish or what they find really sexy or attractive?
	People go pretty far to satisfy a kink or a fetish or a significant sexual preference, right?
	Let your freak flag fly.
	Yeah, people throw away their marriages for that.
	People sleep with Chinese spies and they will do just about anything sometimes because, I mean, is it fair to say that sexual attraction can sometimes be a form of demonic possession?
	Is that just me? But no, sexual attraction can be a form of demonic possession.
	You lose your reason and you'll just go to do just a bit of biological imperative.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Absolutely. So, yeah, lust is a deadly sin.
	Yeah, I get that. Now, if women don't have access to abortions, the welfare state, and so on, then they cannot subsidize who they sleep with with sexual access.
	Are you thinking about Sofia Vergara again?
	She is pretty. Does attraction to girls with nice legs and a bum count as a fetish?
	Well, that's why I said significant or foundational sexual preference, right?
	I don't think it's a fetish, right?
	I mean, a fetish generally is something that is an attraction that doesn't have anything to do with core reproductive fitness.
	I don't know, like feet or something like that, right?
	So... If a woman doesn't have access to demonetizing the economic consequences of pregnancy, then she can't really offer sex as a subsidy to mount up, so to speak, the sexual hierarchy, right?
	You come up with such great definitions on the fly.
	I want a steptionary.
	Nice, nice.
	Yeah, she has to attract men with virtue.
	She has to attract men who are stable.
	And so the pretty boys want all of the subsidization of promiscuity.
	And the girls who want to sleep with men much more attractive than they are...
	They also want this subsidization, right?
	So if your kink is promiscuity, then as a man, you want state-subsidized promiscuity.
	And if you're, as a woman, you want to sleep with a guy hotter than you could get if you had to have him commit, then you also want state-subsidization of promiscuity.
	And state-subsidization of promiscuity is simply paying for the negative effects of promiscuity.
	Does that make sense? A stethorus.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, I hope that that makes sense.
	But, I mean, hit me with a why if you're a guy and you've slept with a girl that if you had to marry her, you wouldn't sleep with her.
	You've slept with a girl. If you had to marry her, you wouldn't sleep with her.
	Yeah, of course. So she got to sleep with you because she could subsidize the attraction with sexual access.
	Sexual access is one of the ultimate subsidies.
	Well, not the guy. The guy who's still a virgin hasn't done it, but yeah.
	So she got to sleep with you because you didn't have to marry her, and the reason she was able to do that is because the negative consequences of getting pregnant are taken care of.
	Because she has less risk, she doesn't need as much commitment.
	Now, another, of course, reason why is that the state is very keen to promote promiscuity because who is the most reliable voting base for the left?
	Like, bar none. Like, who is the most...
	Like, why does the left exist?
	Who is the most reliable voting base for the left?
	Yeah, unmarried women. That's right.
	Single wahmen. It's a beauty-biting respect wahmen.
	So, yeah, single women vote for the left because they are out there...
	They're kind of prey, right, so they need the government as a protector.
	Yeah, the only group where Biden is up, single women, yeah.
	Yeah, so of course, the state has a vested interest, the growth and power of the state, they have a vested interest in Destroying pair bonding, because if you destroy pair bonding, then women stay single, which is why they promote, you know, why you see all this paranoia stuff in female media, right? Like, he seemed like a nice guy, but then he just changed and turned evil, right?
	There's just feminism and anti-male patriarchy, terrorist, fascist stuff.
	It's all just relentless, and it's all designed to train women to fear men, because if they fear men, they love government.
	To fear men...
	Is to love government. To fear men is to love government.
	Well, single mothers, yes.
	Single women and single mothers, but single mothers are a subsection of single women, right?
	Married to Uncle Sam.
	Yeah, yeah, for sure. And like everything that you think is free, you've got to pay for it, right?
	So you get to sleep with men who are more attractive than you could otherwise pull, so you get excessive variety in sexuality as a woman for the first two decades, right, 20 to 40.
	For the first two decades of your adult life, you get to sleep with more attractive men and you have more variety, and then you become invisible for 50 years, right?
	We live in the world of trade-offs and you always pay.
	Yes, and of course the whole point of this sort of devilish mentality is to make sure that by the time you pay, there's no recovery, right?
	Well, of course, the one thing the state can't give you is love.
	So you train women to be cynical about love and then Or you say that the only thing that men bring to the table is money, and it's a state, we can give you that, and we're more reliable.
	We're never going to leave you, honey.
	We're always going to be there for you.
	You can always rely on us.
	You can always trust us.
	And of course, what this drives, which is also really tragic as a whole, what this drives is...
	Oh my, should I be nice?
	Hit me with an N if you'd like to be nice.
	Hit me with an N if you'd like me to be nasty.
	That way I can just decide on my own.
	Nasty. The tired, dateless, single, professional woman is such a leftist trope.
	Well, I mean, stereotypes exist for a reason, right?
	Now... Do you think that women as a whole in the modern world, when it comes to relationships and taking care of men and the home and so on, do you think that they're harder working than their grandmothers or less hard working than their grandmothers?
	Less by a million, right?
	Right, now why have women become lazier as a whole?
	I mean, men have I think as well, which we'll sort of get to maybe, but why have women become lazier?
	No, it's not labor-saving devices, no.
	I mean, I have labor-saving devices called the camera and the internet to talk to you guys.
	That doesn't mean I'm lazier.
	Their nails got longer, benefits have evolved into entitlements.
	Okay, if you win the lottery, are you quitting your job?
	Hit me with a why. If you're winning the lottery, are you quitting your job?
	I'm not, but...
	Are you quitting the job you have right now if you win the lottery?
	50-50, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no.
	Okay, right. So, what were...
	According to Tony Robbins, there are no lazy people, only people without exciting goals.
	Okay. Yes, giant banana hands man is wrong.
	So he, I mean, Tony Robbins as a whole generally mistakes the world for himself.
	He's a very high-energy guy.
	He's a giant and a good-looking guy and very physically imposing and so on.
	And he's obviously very excited and excited by life and enthusiastic and so on.
	And he thinks everyone's like him.
	They just need to be uncorked.
	I see a lot of hard-working women patronize cafes during working hours.
	I don't quite understand what that means.
	I'm not sure if that's cynical or not.
	Okay, so what did your grandmothers work for?
	What did your grandmothers work for?
	What did they get up and work for?
	I mean, for their families, obviously, but what were they working for?
	Marriage. Family, the home.
	Cigarette money for my GMA, for the betterment of their children's society, community and church, homemaking.
	No! None of the above.
	They were working for money.
	They were working for money.
	They were working for money because the husband would pay them to take care of the house and the kids.
	Because if they didn't take care of the house and the kids, they would get divorced.
	Maternal abandonment or whatever it is, right?
	So women work for money.
	So women won the lottery by having the state pay them instead of men.
	So why on earth would you have skills if you're never going to get paid for them?
	Why would you develop difficult skills, running a household, managing things?
	And why would you develop those skills?
	why would you do that labor if you get paid anyway they quit their gerbs
	They're getting paid.
	They don't need to do any housework.
	They get paid. They've got the government giving them money, and the government makes them lazy because the government doesn't require them to work for the money.
	What do they have to do to get the money from the government?
	What do women have to do to get the money from the government?
	Yeah, tick a checkbox every couple of years.
	Tick a checkbox every couple of years and you get...
	Do you remember this?
	I did this show years ago on the welfare state.
	And this is some years ago, but I'm sure it's even worse now.
	So what does a woman with two children, how much money would she have to earn to match
	the benefits she gets from the government?
	It's about $80,000 US.
	Now this was a couple years ago.
	It's way north of $100,000 now.
	So a woman would have to work to get $100,000 of income to be equivalent to what the government gives her for free.
	Well, to put it another way, if a woman gets a job, up to $100,000, she's taxed 100%.
	She's taxed 100%.
	It's called the welfare cliff, right?
	Like if you work, you're taxed at 100%.
	And she doesn't have to pay tax on the government payment.
	No, I get all of that, sort of including that, right?
	Including that. So she would have to make well north of $100,000.
	She would have to receive $100,000 Or her husband would have to make $100,000 and give everything to her.
	Or her husband would have to make $200,000 and give half to her.
	So her husband would have to make $200,000, give half of it to her, for her to get what she gets from the government.
	Does that make sense? Now, it gets even worse than that.
	Now, if you have – give me some categories of jobs.
	That pay $200,000 or a quarter million dollars.
	Give me categories of jobs that pay that much money.
	A lawyer, absolutely, for sure.
	Probably a GP. Engineering, it's high for engineers.
	Stockbroker, yeah. Software project manager, not 250, not 200, 250.
	Dentist, probably maybe even a little higher.
	Surgeon is higher. A plumber could be, for sure.
	Construction manager, probably a little lower.
	A plant manager? No, not 2 to 250.
	No, that's too high. YouTuber?
	Yeah, maybe. But with YouTuber, it's the Pareto principle, right?
	Like 95% of the money goes to 5% of the people.
	A DEI officer? Yeah, maybe.
	C-level in big corporate jobs?
	Yeah, but with stock options and bonuses, you probably get more than that.
	Top OnlyFans? Oh, no, Top OnlyFans is more than that, I think.
	Congressman? I think they get 180 or something like that.
	Chief Technical Officer?
	Yeah. So, she would have to have a guy make two to two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year and give her half in order to have enough money to spend as she gets from the government.
	Now, a guy, let's say, we're talking lawyer, right?
	So, a guy who's a lawyer He's gonna have a big house.
	He's gonna have two cars.
	He's gonna have, you know, complicated taxes and so on, right?
	And he's gonna want his wife probably to stay home because a guy who's successful wants to transfer those values to his kids, so he wants someone to raise his kids other than sort of anonymous strangers.
	So how much work is she gonna have to do to run the household Well, she's going to obviously run the household.
	She's going to pay the bills. She's going to set up.
	She's going to manage probably some of the tax stuff.
	She's going to have to raise the kids.
	And he's going to have professional engagements.
	He might have travel, so she's going to have to work that much harder when he's away.
	There's going to be cocktail parties.
	There's going to be corporate dinners.
	She's going to have to...
	Be part of a country club.
	She's also gonna wanna have to probably play sports with her husband and his friends so that he's high status.
	Oh, a Christmas car is absolutely right.
	And she's gonna also have to take care of aging parents over time and so on, right?
	No welfare state, no welfare state, right?
	So, she's gonna have to learn how to play golf?
	Maybe, maybe. The golf might be a bit of a guy's thing, like fishing or whatever, right?
	But she's gonna have to do a lot of work.
	She's gonna have to do a lot of work.
	If her husband is a professional, as he probably is, she's going to have to do a lot of work.
	So the woman who's a stay-at-home mom with two kids and she's on the welfare state, she has to do 5% of the work that she'd have to do otherwise.
	So even if someone were to say to her, oh, look, man, you can get a guy who's $300,000, $400,000, make a lot of money, she'd be like, yeah, but I have to work like 10 times harder.
	So, no. I'm already getting 100K. Let's say I've got a husband who's 300K, so I get an extra 50K, but I have 10 times the work for an extra 50K. No thank you.
	That's the law of diminishing returns, right?
	The amount of money, like, zero to ten dollars is the difference between life and death.
	The difference between 100,000 and 100,000 and ten dollars is virtually negligible.
	A pickleball, yeah, yeah.
	That's why women want men who make a million a year.
	Yes, so people say like, oh my gosh, I can't believe how exaggerated women's expectations are of male income.
	And it's like, well, yeah, because you're competing with the welfare state.
	Wow, this really explains why women aren't getting married.
	I thought it was mainly because they didn't want the burden of pregnancy, childbirth, but the financial incentive here is insane.
	It is insane. Of course it is.
	Solitude, solitude is a government program.
	Promiscuity leads to solitude, may lead to solitary.
	So, solitude is a government program.
	because women get so much money from the state that a man has to offer insane
	things to lure her away from big statey titty, right?
	Right? So imagine, I want you to imagine this.
	For guys, it's really, really important to understand what you're competing with.
	Now, you can still win, but you've got to up your game.
	So what are you competing with? Oh, you know, this stuff is great, right?
	It's really helpful to you guys. If you could tip, I would really, really appreciate it.
	Yeah, the women, they don't need no man.
	No, they don't need a man. They just need taxpayers.
	Isn't welfare for lower quality, trashy women?
	Have you never heard of corporate welfare?
	Okay, so I want you to think about this, guys, so you understand where women are coming from.
	I want you to think that you have an inheritance and annuity that pays you $110,000 a year on the condition you don't get married to or live with a woman.
	You get a hundred thousand dollars a year, a hundred and ten thousand dollars a year,
	but you can't live with or get married to a woman.
	How incredible would the woman have to be for you to give that up?
	No, you can't work.
	You can't work. If you work, your wages are deducted from that money.
	So you get $110,000 a year, but you can't work, you can't get married, and you can't live with a woman.
	What would you do? Well, you'd sleep around, obviously.
	Would you get married? What kind of woman would she have to be for you to give up $100,000, $110,000 a year and have to get a job?
	The new Mrs. USA. She'd have to work and have her own place.
	She'd have to be wealthy enough, right?
	That you wouldn't necessarily miss the $110,000 a year and you wouldn't even be willing to
	go to work.
	She'd be a saint or self-destructive.
	That would make it really hard for me to accept a lower quality of living.
	Right. See, we look at the welfare and we say, oh my gosh, that's so terrible, blah, blah, blah.
	But it's an incredibly high quality of living.
	And it's harshest on the lowest classes, right?
	It's harshest on the lowest classes.
	Do you know why? Because the lower classes ain't gonna get a guy who can make a quarter million dollars a year.
	It's not gonna happen. Because a guy who makes a quarter million dollars a year wants a higher class, higher quality, blah, blah, blah wife.
	A higher caste, higher class, whatever, higher system wife.
	So it's completely shutting out.
	I mean, why do you think the men are all on fentanyl?
	Because no one will marry them.
	Because they can't compete with the state.
	Right? And this is why women are not raised...
	Like, you know, birth control is a dime, right?
	Ten cents for birth control.
	Do you know how that works? No, it's ten cents.
	Birth control is a dime. Yeah, you put a dime between your needs and keep it there.
	The whole rich man will marry a waitress is bullshit.
	Wealthy men would marry a woman roughly in their own social class.
	Of course they would. Of course they would.
	A rich man will marry a waitress.
	A rich ram will sleep with a waitress.
	So, do you know why the Cinderella story of the rich man marrying the waitress, do you know why that exists?
	Do you know why that exists? Why does it exist?
	Why does this constant Cinderella story exist?
	Some women don't get married.
	you Yeah. Women don't settle, then they need the government, then they vote for the left.
	Oh, no, you don't settle, girl.
	You hold out for that multimillionaire, rock-hard-abbed guy.
	He's coming, he's coming, he's coming.
	You just manifest, and he's going to come, and he's going to be your person.
	You raise people's expectations to the point where you paralyze their potential.
	It never feels like enough.
	That's why The state didn't really have any problem with Russell Brand's promiscuity or the media or anything like that.
	Chemistry! Prince Charming who's not allowed to save Snow White anymore.
	Even to find a man who was respectful, hardworking, and honest is a challenge.
	Because men work for women, but women are owned by the state!
	Why would a man give up Video games and online imagery, let's say.
	To work for a woman? Women are owned by the state.
	Thank you, Steph. It's all coming together now.
	This is high-level thinking. You can't find this anywhere else.
	You're right. Yeah, why would you not take drugs?
	Why would you not play video games?
	Why would you not? Right?
	You can't get a woman because the women are all Like, you know, the problem with the harem, right?
	The problem with the harem is that the prince gets the highest quality women, most of the women, and then there's a mismatch of males to females, and that creates a destabilizing force in society of men who don't settle down and get married.
	Now, do you understand the biggest harem?
	The biggest harem in the world is what?
	The state, that's right, the state is the biggest harem in the world.
	you Because the state forces mostly men to support mostly women.
	Great point, Steph. My family is lower class, many dependent on the welfare state, multiple baby daddies.
	The point of lower class men being significantly outclassed makes so much sense.
	Yeah, for sure. So many guys out there being cucked by state chatting to...
	Yeah. Yeah, and listen, we can get mad and we can...
	But people respond to incentives.
	And, you know, pretending otherwise is usually, you know, kind of a...
	It's kind of a bad idea to wish people didn't respond to incentives.
	If people didn't respond to incentives, then maybe socialism would work.
	I guess you've still got the calculation problem, but at least the motivation, right?
	Yeah, harems are absolutely the product of violence.
	You're absolutely correct about that.
	That's a great point. Thank you for mentioning it.
	It's a great point. Thank you, Steph, for sharing your wisdom.
	Oh, David, that's very kind. I really appreciate that.
	Thank you. Even Mises married a single mom.
	Didn't Joe Rogan? I think he married a single mom, too.
	Well, she was a cocktail waitress, wasn't she?
	So maybe it happens, I guess.
	Maybe it happens. Steph can't resist.
	It just seemed relevant.
	That's why your me plus comment pissed off the little thumb.
	Maybe. Maybe.
	In a way, censorship algorithms on social media isolated K's from K's because all the content has our appeal.
	I think that's true. I think that's true.
	Women are drawn to providers and are loyal to providers.
	And what happens, of course, is that if you have the state as the provider, women make bad decisions which are irreversible.
	Now, once you can get people to make bad decisions that are irreversible, they will defend those decisions halfway to the death.
	I mean, why do you think libertarianism is such a sausage fest?
	Because men are trying to fight free of the state and women are trying to hang on to it, a lot of them, because they've made the kind of decisions that once you've had three kids by three different guys or just three kids by some guy who's not around anymore, can you afford to muck around with the welfare state?
	Can you afford to muck around with alimony and child support and Socialized medicine and old age pensions, you can't afford.
	This is why I said the age of reason has passed because so many people have been snared up in this course of redistribution stuff that they can't think clearly or rationally or objectively.
	The conflict of interest is way too high.
	But I got a PowerPoint.
	I got a PowerPoint so you should give up $100,000 a year and replace it with what?
	No choice anymore. Now it's just survival.
	Now it's just survival.
	The state made women into their chattel.
	you Oh, women have agency, but again, it's just response to incentives.
	Can you talk about the philosophy of workplace relationships?
	I install HVAC equipment with the four divorced, twelve abandoned children felon.
	See, these seem like two separate questions.
	One is abstract. The other is, run!
	So as far as the abstract one, yeah, you can have workplace relationships.
	It doesn't violate the non-aggression principle.
	As a result of the second, run!
	One of the strongest forms of determinism is a mother's loyalty to her children.
	What? One of the strongest forms of determinism is a mother's loyalty to her children.
	I don't understand that at all.
	What do you mean mother's loyalty to their children?
	One of the strongest forms of determination is a mother's loyalty to her children.
	Okay, sorry. Thank you for the correction.
	I'm still not sure what that means.
	Determination, you mean grit and willpower?
	It's a mother's loyalty to her children.
	She's determined to ensure their safety.
	Why do you think that?
	Why do you think that women are determined to ensure the safety of their children?
	I mean, there's abortion.
	you Do you know that a non-related male in the house of a woman with children, who's not related to the children, That the levels of abuse are over 30 times higher than if the father was there?
	There's daycare.
	Well, no, exceptions, Lucy Leppi, Andrea Gates, those are exceptions, so we can't judge women by that as a whole.
	There's government schools.
	Do you know that women will often put their kids on mind-altering drugs for an extra couple of hundred dollars a month because it gives them disability payments?
	Yeah, immediately cutting out genitals 30 seconds into life.
	I mean, do you know how many, I know this is not statistical, it's not an average, but do you know how many people I've talked to over the years who've tried to tell their own mothers the simple truth about basic moral realities and histories?
	Do the women listen?
	Or would the women rather pursue delusion at the expense of their relationships with their adult children?
	Yeah, they have kids with shitty or absent fathers.
	Also, if women really cared about their children, wouldn't they be marching about the national debt?
	Wouldn't they? I mean you know children are born in like a million dollars of
	financial slavery which is more money than they're probably gonna make their
	entire life.
	But you go to women and you say we got to pay off the national debt you're
	gonna have to make sacrifices.
	We've got to pay off the national debt.
	Your children are born slaves to foreign banksters.
	You've got to make sacrifices for your kids.
	Your kids' future means something.
	We've got to pay off the national debt so you're going to have to take fewer subsidies.
	What would the women do if they have to choose between their own immediate comfort and the future success of their children?
	We know what women would do.
	We know. Please tell me more about the bonding.
	Do you know the number of women who make allegations, false allegations against a husband during divorce proceedings, false allegations of child abuse or worse?
	It's high. It's high.
	Go ask.
	And there's exceptions, of course.
	Go ask the average modern woman, and we'll talk about men in a sec.
	Oh yeah, married women are much less likely to vote for socialism.
	Of course. I mean, that's just self-interest, right?
	Because if they vote for socialism, their husbands lose income.
	So their family lose income.
	Where single women, if they vote for socialism, they get more income, right?
	You think that the women are so bonded to the kids?
	Well, if the women are so bonded to the kids, I'm sure that they would never badmouth the husband or the father.
	Never. Even if there's a divorce, they would never, because that's really bad for their kids.
	They would never indulge in badmouthing of the father, because that's really bad for the kids, right?
	That's right, they would never do that, right?
	I mean, women who care for their children would really work to make sure that their
	sons and their daughters are attractive to the opposite sex, right?
	Yeah.
	Right.
	Thank you.
	.
	I agree, my parents split and it was bad, but my mom never bad-mouthed my dad to me and it made a big difference to my self-esteem.
	great, I'm not saying this is, of course this is not all women.
	You go to the average woman these days and you say you have to make sacrifices for the good of your children.
	That's all I have to say. Thank you.
	What's she going to say? Now, if you go to the average man and you say you have to make sacrifices for the good of society, what's the average man going to say?
	Let it burn!
	Right? What's the average man going to say?
	I'm not interested in saving this circus.
	My wife's mother constantly bad-mouthed my wife's father as she was growing up and
	it still does it twenty years after their divorce.
	Yeah, I mean, it's objectively bad for the kids.
	They do it anyway. Go to the average career woman and say, you know, your kid will be healthier and happier if you don't work and stay home with your baby.
	Right? What's she going to say?
	It's not fulfilling to me.
	I need work to feel validated and important.
	Yeah, Cassie. Cassie was a pretty good woman in my novel, The Present.
	Yeah, they accuse you of trying to oppress them.
	So, yeah, listen, I think that throughout history it's quite true that a lot of women have made immense sacrifices for their children, including getting pregnant.
	So this is nothing against female nature, but the modern system has such perverse incentives that you tell me, and there are women who make sacrifices for their kids.
	There are wonderful women who homeschool their kids and take great care of their kids and are really there for them and, you know, love them and all of that.
	Married to a wonderful woman, so this is not about...
	As a whole, as a whole, go to women and say, the system is bad.
	It's harming your children.
	You need to homeschool. You need to stay home with them.
	You need to get a good man into their lives.
	You need to cut back on the benefits, and you need to cut back on socialized health care because it's too expensive and your kids are born in debt.
	What are they gonna say?
	What are they gonna say?
	Look what they injected Bye.
	I was on a train from work not too long ago, so someone and a young girl about six years old was crying because her mother was going abroad.
	She told her mother that she didn't want her mother to go to Poland and the mother's response was, I'm sorry darling, I have a show.
	Yeah, it's rough. It's rough.
	When I quit to come home for my family, all the ladies at my work commented,
	Where do I find a guy like that?
	Bye.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well to get quality you have to be quality, right?
	How many women you say oh women care so much for their kids Okay, how many women organize their lives and do research
	and find out the facts and organize their lives about that Which is objectively the best for their children
	30% you guess About one percent. I don't think it's that low.
	0.05 percent.
	I don't think it's that low. But it's certainly not the norm.
	Somebody says, isn't it that manufacturing has been almost entirely outsourced and all that's left are menial, meaningless, mundane jobs to do with distributing consumer goods and bookkeeping?
	Pretty depressing outlook doing that.
	Do you know why manufacturing... Okay, there's lots of reasons, but do you know one of the main unspoken reasons as to why manufacturing...
	This is back to the earlier question about Australia.
	Why has so much manufacturing gone overseas?
	Why? Because the women are married to the state, so the men don't work hard, so it's tough to find good, reliable, consistent workers.
	Yeah, there's taxes and regulations and unionization.
	I get all of that. I get all of that.
	But you can be an entrepreneur and create stuff, right?
	The women are married to the state, so the men can't pair bond, so the men have nothing to work for.
	What do we work for as men? We work for our families.
	We work for our families.
	Ninety percent of a married man's income goes to his family.
	We work for our families.
	That's what we work for.
	If you can get women to marry the state, they don't marry the men.
	The men don't develop a work ethic.
	They fritter away.
	They're eternal adolescents.
	They do drugs.
	They play video games. They masturbate.
	They don't grow up.
	For what? 100%.
	I was a manager in manufacturing.
	Half my job was holding job fairs to try and keep folks.
	Yes! The hardest worker is married male with kids.
	Yes! Stay single and you can live on almost nothing.
	Yeah! When I was a single guy in university, I could live on $600 a month.
	If you've ever tried to hire people, Finding dedicated, hard-working, consistent, responsible people is a needle in a haystack.
	Because people want cheap, guilt-free stuff.
	If all those cheap goods were labeled, this garment was produced by a low-paid worker in unsafe working conditions, people would probably shop local more often.
	I doubt it. I doubt it.
	Being single with no responsibility is an addiction.
	yeah for sure for sure but the great shift of jobs over to China in such
	countries didn't happen because of the poor fellow back at home I don't know
	what that means but the welfare state came in in the 60s and D manufacturing
	started in the 70s you understand it's causal somebody says I only worked 18
	hours a week until recently as a single manchild yeah And I say this, do you know how many emails I get, call and show requests I get from people, men in their 20s who are like, my life's passing me by.
	I'm not doing anything. I'm not getting anywhere.
	I'm not building. I'm not growing.
	How many, this is like 60 to 70 percent of my emails for call and shows.
	Now, if they were married, they wouldn't be asking those questions.
	Seth, this is why I used to be MGTOW until I saw the video you did on MGTOW saying how great women are still out there.
	Yeah, of course. Of course.
	Now, I'm not blaming women for this.
	Somebody offers you $100,000, you take it.
	I mean, you know, you may not be the most avid or ardent statist in the known universe, but if you won the lottery, wouldn't you cash it?
	Oh, I'll do all this good!
	I'll do all this good with the money!
	Home ownership is becoming impossible.
	Incentives are drying up. People are losing hope.
	You've got to be strong to keep faith in doing the right thing, even though a reward is not promised.
	Yeah. Women voting for the state.
	You understand women are trained by the state to view the state as moral, so voting for the state is voting to expand morality.
	But the people had no choice in the matter when jobs were sent to China.
	Absolutely no choice. No, that's not true.
	That's not true. Is that the 100K before tax equivalent that they get from the state?
	So, do you know how much, like you need two million dollars at five percent will give you a hundred thousand dollars.
	Two million dollars at five percent will give you a hundred thousand dollars.
	And do you know when you win the lottery they'll give you one fixed thing or they'll give you a payout over years, right?
	I remember there was a song when I was a kid, a thousand a month sure is grand, you're on the way with a helping hand, right?
	A thousand a month, man, you get a thousand bucks a month.
	That was all the money in the world back then.
	So, the government gives women the equivalent of two million dollars in the bank.
	Every woman has a vagina-based fertility lottery ticket for two million dollars.
	And they don't know that it's wrong, they're not trained that it's wrong, It's helping people.
	It's charity. It's welfare.
	You want people to fare well, don't you?
	So do you understand? How can a man, a young man, compete with some guy saying, here's two million dollars for nothing?
	Do you follow? We're giving you two million dollars Just vote for the state.
	And they say it's illegal to bribe a politician.
	Well, it is, but...
	Here's $2 million.
	How many people, you dangle $2 million in front of them, how many people are going to say no?
	It's a question, right? How many people are going to say no to $2 million?
	Who need it? Billionaires wouldn't say no to $2 million.
	Before or after tax?
	Well, no, it's $2 million, no tax, and you, you know, you invest it, you get 5% a year, and so you get your 100K, right?
	I would. I learned the hard way that free money can really mess you up.
	Yeah, of course, it does, right? It does.
	It shreds you. Instant retirement.
	You understand? That's what the welfare state is, is instant retirement.
	Imagine the state promising men a couple of gorgeous women at their back and call in return for voting for them.
	What do you mean, imagine?
	That's exactly what happens.
	That's exactly what I said earlier.
	attractive men, the welfare state subsidizes their sex addictions, their promiscuity.
	Yeah, violence destroys.
	And the slower it destroys, the worse it is, right?
	After 20 years after Australian politicians signed on to the Lima Declaration in 1975, Australians had lost over 50% of its manufacturing.
	How did the people choose that?
	We weren't given a choice. It was done to us.
	No, it wasn't done to you.
	It was not done to you.
	It wasn't done to you. Australians, like everybody else, wanted free stuff.
	You were bought and paid for.
	You were seduced by free stuff and you took it.
	Now, if you had said to people, and if you'd said to people, I don't have people in my life who are pro-statist, if you'd said to people, no, if you want state coercive redistribution and stuff, if enough people had said that, it wouldn't happen.
	You went socialist in the 1970s, yeah.
	I mean, I understand it's a big temptation, and I'm not saying that there's no responsibility on the part of the politicians.
	I'm not saying it's 100% the people.
	But politicians in general want to get re-elected, and if you keep re-electing people to do that, that's what's going to happen.
	happens. Ah well we didn't...
	Now I mean there is a cycle and I have sympathy for the people.
	I really do. I really have sympathy for the people as a whole.
	They're indoctrinated, this, that, and the other.
	And I certainly have more sympathy for the people in the 70s.
	But right now, the answers to the problems of the world are a click away.
	It's just a click away.
	Right there, right there, right? All right, let's do one more question.
	I have a question I feel vulnerable asking.
	What is it called when our memory of an object matches the physical object?
	I tried to look up your old Intro to Philosophy courses wherein you define reality, but I couldn't find them.
	What is it called when our memory of an object matches the physical object?
	What's an accurate memory?
	Isn't that accuracy? That's what's called accuracy.
	I don't know why you'd be vulnerable asking that.
	Theory of Recollection?
	I don't know what that means. Memory of an object matches the physical object.
	It's an accurate recollection.
	It's a close to one to one correlation between the image in the mind and the object in the world.
	The idea that every concept must be tied to a physical thing, so government doesn't need it.
	Yeah, government is a concept, right?
	Government is a relationship, it's a concept.
	Government is a belief in the ethics of coercion, right?
	The virtue of coercion. No, like, so when I went to go and speak in Australia, the Australian press was, you know, kind of hysterical and whipping up all kinds of aggression and frenzy against me, and people were buying all of that, and they were repeating it, and they funded it, and they gave money to the advertisers, and they didn't boycott, and so I was like, yeah.
	What future event would stop this incentive?
	Well, moral accuracy and peaceful parenting, right?
	UPP and peaceful parenting.
	Peaceful parenting is a subset of UPP. Yeah, moral accuracy and peaceful parenting.
	Beginning of wisdom, as the saying goes, is to call things by their proper names.
	No, the internet has taken away any defense of ignorance.
	Oh, I didn't know. It's like, no, no, no.
	If you know the facts and you don't share the facts, if you know the truth and you don't share the truth, if you know the virtue and you hide the virtue from people out of fear of blowback, you're part of the problem and you're withholding morality from people and you're really one of the worst parts of the problem.
	The fact that we can have this conversation, you can share this conversation, means that people have no excuse for ignorance.
	Rational ignorance. Democracy equals death spiral.
	Your average person can't follow enough to maintain accountability at a national level.
	I don't see a way out once the premise has been accepted.
	No, I get all of that. I understand that there's dominoes and so on.
	I get all of that. But individuals are, you know, people say, oh, but Steph has a bad reputation.
	It's like, huh, interesting.
	So can you ever think of anyone throughout history Who's ever been morally right and been smeared?
	Anyone? Anyone in history that you've ever heard of who was right but attacked and smeared?
	I just wonder if you can think of anybody, anybody throughout history.
	McCarthy, people still don't know how right he was.
	Yeah, Jesus, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, John Locke, Hobbes.
	I mean, I've done the whole history of philosophy series.
	They're all attacked, right?
	Gandhi was a bit of a half-pedophile creep, sleep-slept naked with young girls.
	Galileo, of course, Tycho Brahe, just a wide variety of people who were attacked.
	And ostracize the guy who figured out that you wash your hands is good before surgery and all of that.
	Yeah, it's pretty common, right?
	Oh, he's got a bad reputation.
	He must be a bad guy. It's like, oh, so you would have just lynched people in the past.
	He'd just been part of the lynching mob.
	Oh, this guy is a bad guy.
	Let's go lynch him. At least you know where you are.
	At least you know who you would have been in history.
	You would have just been a guy like, let me get the rope.
	So there's no doubt, right? You know you're just a mob.
	A mob thug, right?
	Just a mob thug. The people had no idea the politicians had signed on to the Lima Declaration, this UN agenda.
	I would just ask people how much time, how much time did you spend watching Netflix last week?
	Four hours, six hours. What about sports?
	Did you spend time watching sports?
	How much time did you spend playing video games?
	How much time did you spend perusing nudity on the internet?
	How much time did you spend on unproductive pursuits last week?
	And for most people, it's 20 hours at least a week that they spend on trash.
	Now, there's nothing wrong with watching a show or whatever it is, right?
	There's nothing wrong with that. It's fine.
	I mean, we all need gear down time and relaxing time and all of that.
	That's fine. But when people spend 10 to 20 hours consuming trash, crap, and garbage, then don't come to me and complain, well, I didn't know this, and I didn't know that.
	Oh, there aren't any manufacturing jobs.
	Huh! I type into some vaguely objective search engine.
	I wonder why there's so few manufacturing jobs.
	Oh, look, you have an answer delivered straight to your brain in about five seconds.
	But that would interfere with watching a three-fucking-day cricket match now, wouldn't it?
	Oh, wow! They went into overtime on football.
	Oh wow, the fifth set at Wimbledon, I gotta watch that!
	Make your choice and pay for it, right?
	Take what you want, take what you want, and pay for it.
	So you watch a lot of stupid-ass sports.
	Played a lot of brain-deadening video games.
	And again, I play a couple of video games, not the end of the world, right?
	But no, please, God alive, don't give people no responsibility.
	That's pathetic.
	That's pathetic. Don't give people no responsibility.
	Oh, they're just victims they didn't know.
	No! No, no, no.
	Don't insult people by pretending that they're idiot children.
	They had every opportunity.
	Since the 90s, they'd have every opportunity.
	Just type it in, look it up, and find out.
	I'm sure you've talked to them about it.
	No. I would rather watch steroid man hit ball with bat.
	Okay, great. But then don't complain to me when your society turns into an intergalactic shit show.
	I heard bad things about Steph, so avoid.
	All right. I give people responsibility.
	I give people responsibility.
	Because I'm not an asshole.
	Assholes take away responsibility from people.
	Don't be an asshole.
	Don't strip people. Of their responsibility.
	Yeah, what is it Elon Musk said?
	It was pretty funny. He said, winners win and they write the history and then the history is rewritten by losers with lots of time to edit Wikipedia.
	Beautiful. Beautiful.
	So no, don't take away people's responsibility and don't participate in that.
	I'm not going to let you strip away free will from millions of Australians.
	No. They had a choice.
	They could either look things up.
	They can learn about their society.
	They can listen to philosophers.
	They can listen to moralists.
	They can learn about economics.
	And you don't have to be super smart to learn about economics.
	Kids can do it. You see them trading their Halloween candy.
	They know all about it. No, don't take away their responsibility.
	Don't. Don't treat them as children.
	They may beg you to because they don't like the consequences of their own choices.
	Well, I chose to watch a lot of sports ball and my society is going to shit.
	I chose to believe liars about good people and my life is not virtuous.
	It's like, okay, well. Yeah, Mitch McConnell is stronking out on TV. I mean, come on.
	Come on. Have you considered writing children's books and selling those?
	No, not particularly. All right.
	Any last, come on. It's been a great show, people.
	We've done two and a quarter hours of high jet, high...
	Combustible brain fires if you haven't tipped.
	What do I have to do? What do I have to do for you to tip?
	Too much octane, that's right.
	It's like when I was working up north and we had to mix jet fuel into our propane to just be warm enough because it was like minus 40.
	I remember showering.
	I remember showering and the water was freezing on my body.
	It was hot, man.
	So hot. My whole phone is overheating from all this philosophy and I will be overeating afterwards.
	Thank you, O'Brien. I really appreciate that.
	It's a very, very kind tip. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
	And yeah, it's my birthday soon.
	It's my birthday soon. I'm going to do a show on Friday, right?
	That's the 22nd. My birthday is Sunday.
	Ooh, Sunday.
	Sunday. Maybe we'll do a show.
	Should I do a show on Sunday? That'd be nice to check in with the community.
	Gifts or experience?
	Experiences. Donations would be great.
	Should I do a show? Perhaps Telegram?
	Telegram's a little depressing. Telegram's a little depressing.
	No, enjoy family and birthday.
	Well, I can do both. I can do an hour show or whatever, right?
	I mean, I'm not 12.
	My birthday doesn't mean that much to me other than I'm happy to have another one.
	Why is telegram depressing?
	Oh, because, you know, I start up a show and, you know, some people come, some they don't.
	There's all these technical issues.
	People have too much loud background noise.
	They say they want to talk and then they're not available or they've hung up or they can't get their mic to work.
