| You know, I asked the other day in the show, I asked the other day in the show, a live stream, who are you that you did not inherit? | |
| Who are you that you alone can earn? | |
| Who are you without your intelligence, which is largely genetic, without your height, which is genetic, without your eye color, without your race, without your sex? | |
| Who are you? | |
| And the answer to that, I was just thinking about this today, the answer to that Who are you that is not accidental? | |
| Who are you that you earn? | |
| You are only your virtues. | |
| Not your thought virtues, your manifested virtues. | |
| You are the good that you do and nothing else. | |
| Which is why I view people as yet to manifest their humanity when they make excuses, not progress. | |
| When they pursue being perceived of as good rather than being good, because all you are are the virtues you manifest. | |
| That is the only footprint you live in the world. | |
| That is the only impact you actually have. | |
| That is the only thing you can truly, truly, truly claim as and call your own. | |
| All you are are the virtues you manifest, and there's nothing else. | |
| Those are the things that will live forever because those are the things that are you carving the mere mortal flesh into the fabric of the universe that lasts forever, or at least as long as people will last, which hopefully is forever. | |
| I mean, I think Elon Musk is so despairing of being able to achieve virtue in this world that he wants to go to Mars so that he can escape this world. | |
| Because, you know, Mars is going to be a pretty high IQ civilization because, well, let's just say there's a teeny tiny barrier to entry. | |
| And the space between Earth and Mars is one border that the Democrats can't give people ladders and incentives to get over. | |
| The only thing that is you are the virtues you manifest. | |
| The only thing that is you manifest. | |
| That, of course, is the only thing that's going to live on after me. | |
| There's two things that are going to live on after me. | |
| my virtues, and my daughter. | |
| On the subject of humor, what tips do you have to be funny slash humorous in conversations? | |
| I find my humor is all over the place. | |
| I find it hard to summon. | |
| I mean, I think good humor is unspeakable honesty, right? | |
| So, first of all, don't feel the need to be funny. | |
| you Don't feel the need to be funny. | |
| Norm MacDonald? | |
| I mean, definitely a funny guy. | |
| I'm not entirely sure that he pursued a lot of virtues in the world. | |
