| All right. | |
| Chris says, I think there's a lack of vulnerability present when people don't reciprocate. | |
| Like you say, they close up with a hard shell around the heart. | |
| Like you say, they close up with a hard shell around the heart. | |
| Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris. | |
| Oh, the people who exploit you, they just, they're hiding their vulnerability. | |
| I'm sorry. | |
| I don't mean to laugh at you. | |
| I'm really, it just... | |
| I'm really sorry. | |
| But that really is funny. | |
| Oh, my God. | |
| No, they're lazy and they want to take stuff. | |
| Lack of vulnerability. | |
| You know, they want to reciprocate. | |
| They're just too tenderhearted and don't want to show it. | |
| It's like, no, they're exploiters, bro! | |
| My God. | |
| My God. | |
| Please don't project all of this sensitivity onto exploiters. | |
| They're just cold-hearted takers. | |
| That's it. | |
| No, bad childhood, blah, blah, blah. | |
| But who cares, right? | |
| Who cares? | |
| I mean, someone might care about an exploiter's bad childhood, but that someone can never be the person they're exploiting or have exploited, right? | |
| To take an extreme example, a therapist might work with a rapist to figure out his bad childhood, but his victims should not be those people to help him out, right? | |
| Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | |
| *snap* Thank you. | |
| Alright, I don't go to that extreme, but if I need help and get it, I will do a favor like buy a nice meal for them when I can afford to do so. | |
| That's what a friend does, yeah. | |
| Why are bad people much better at detecting good people than good people are at detecting bad people? | |
| What a great question. | |
| Right? | |
| And so evil people running the education system, evil people are not going to teach you how to identify evil people. | |
| Right? | |
| That would be like the lion stalking a zebra, shooting up a flare, saying, I'm here! | |
| So, no, I mean, the educational system in the media is largely run by immoral or corrupt or evil people, and so they want to reverse everything. | |
| They want to reverse everything so that your instincts are completely screwed up. | |
| So, they will never tell you how to identify bad people. | |
| So, for instance, there are two of the most replicable instances in psychology or social sciences. | |
| Do you know what the two of them are? | |
| The two most robust findings that replicate all of the world incredibly consistently. | |
| Do you know what these two things are? | |
| These are the two things that you're not allowed to talk about, because these are the two things that will help protect you. | |
| Right? | |
| So, the two things that will help you understand the world and protect you, you're not allowed to talk about because very corrupt people are in charge of the information that we consume, except Twitter. | |
| So, do you know what are the two most robust and replicable findings in psychology and the social sciences? | |
| Thank you. | |
| All right. | |
| IQ is one. | |
| Yes, that's right. | |
| IQ is one of the most robust and around the world replicable genetics. | |
| And now. | |
| Now. | |
| Now. | |
| It's a bit obscure. | |
| So I don't know exactly where they stand in the hierarchy, but two of the most replicable things in science and IQ, sorry, in science, No, it's not family dynamics. | |
| So the two most replicated studies in psychology and social sciences are IQ and stereotypes. | |
| Are stereotypes accurate? | |
| Stereotypes don't just emerge out of nowhere. | |
| And, of course, you wouldn't want to take a general stereotype and apply it to every single person. | |
| But, yeah, stereotypes and IQ are the two most replicated studies. | |
| And one of the reasons why people think psychology is largely bullshit is because its most robust findings are suppressed viciously, right? |
