| They're never going to tell you. | |
| So you're trying to drag me into this fog bank where I'm trying to discern the motives of people who will never tell me the truth. | |
| You just want me to go someplace that there is no return. | |
| Now, of course, can I say, well, now everybody's fully conscious of it because then you say to people, are you conscious of that? | |
| No, I don't believe it. | |
| I never would believe it. | |
| They're just going to lie. | |
| People willing to sabotage the poor and destroy the young, do you think they're going to tell you the truth about their motivations? | |
| See, Steph, there's this pathological liar. | |
| I just need you to get him to tell the truth about that which is most shameful for him, and then I'll start accepting your theory. | |
| What matters is, is the theory correct? | |
| Motivations is... | |
| is girly. | |
| But what are the motivations? | |
| What do they secretly think? | |
| What do they secretly believe? | |
| It's a way of trying to plumb the depths of people's psyche. | |
| When they're never going to tell you the truth anyway, rather than saying, is the theory true? | |
| You go to motivations, which is a way of avoiding whether the theory fits the facts or not. | |
| Does two and two make four? | |
| I question your motivations for asking me that question. | |
| You know, that's a female tactic and not a healthy female tactic, like a dysfunctional female tactic, right? | |
| So if you've ever confronted dysfunctional parents, what do they say? | |
| Where's this question coming from? | |
| What's your motive in bringing this up? | |
| What's the purpose of all of this? | |
| As opposed to, did it actually happen? | |
| Is it actually real? | |
| Is it true? | |
| What's your motivation? | |
| What's going on deep in your psyche that would even have you think of this, right? | |
| Do you really think they do that on purpose? | |
| I don't give a shit. | |
| When people advocate for things, they're responsible for knowing what they're advocating for. | |
| They can't claim unconsciousness. | |
| If you're advocating for something that's absolutely destructive, A state-run, quote, education, you can't then claim, well, I was unconscious. | |
| I mean, let's say I even accept this theory. | |
| I was completely, I didn't know. | |
| Who cares? | |
| Doesn't matter. | |
| It's irrelevant. | |
| It's a way of avoiding whether the theory is true or not. | |
| Do government schools sabotage the poor? | |
| Yes. | |
| Has this been known for over a century? | |
| Yes. | |
| Is it clear to everyone? | |
| Who has any clue or went through any of these schools? | |
| Yes. | |
| So then people who advocate for this kind of trash? | |
| Well, I don't believe that. | |
| I wasn't conscious of that. | |
| I wasn't aware of that. | |
| I didn't know that. | |
| Ignorance of the law is no excuse. | |
| I was always told that. | |
| So what do you give a rat's ass about people's motivations for? | |
| I told you 2025 is a year of bluntness. | |
| What do you care? | |
| What do you care about people's motivations for? | |
| It's a way of stalling. | |
| And befogging and befouling the conversation. | |
| I'm not calling you foul. | |
| I'm just saying that this, oh, well, we don't know. | |
| We want to give them an excuse called, well, they just did not. | |
| Forgive them, Father, for they did not know. | |
| I don't care. | |
| I care about what's best for the poor. | |
| I don't care about what pathological altruists claim are their motivations, because you're never going to know. | |
| It's just a road track off an endless cliff. | |
| I must have been broke-minded because the class war thing is something I never actually think of much about. | |
| Well, if you've switched classes, as I have, you're aware of it. | |
| Somebody says, my parents became wealthy when I was around 10. It was strange going to a private secondary school where the kids were all on illegal drugs and antidepressants. | |
| They just seemed to be able to afford so many more problems. | |
| Your level of problems in life are about the same no matter what. | |
| You might as well take on big issues to have problems about because otherwise you just end up with small issues to have problems about. | |
| Somebody says, I wonder if the companies that advertise expensive product, expensive product, is good for the world slash people as a strategy to make poor people pay way more money than they have. | |
| Owners of such companies are also liberal, for sure. | |
| Somebody writes, thank you for the tip, maybe this is related to luxury beliefs. | |
| I've noticed a lack of negotiation between experts, which for myself is strange. | |
| Examples, the USA or Europe won't talk to Russia about ending the Ukrainian war. | |
| Mainstream media talking with Putin, noting the exception of Tucker Carlson. | |
| Just narrative control. | |
| A lack of negotiation between, quote, experts, which for myself... | |
| So, I mean, most, quote, experts are just the new mystery cult. | |
| The high priest, if you can't talk to God, you can't look at the data directly, you can't talk to God directly, you have to take our interpretation. |
