| If there's no such thing as immoral behavior, why would he criticize me? | |
| No such thing as immoral behavior. | |
| Oh, it feels bad. | |
| No, that's just hedonism on the other side of the coin. | |
| No, when you talk to atheists, they got nothing, nothing behind their moral pronouncements. | |
| It's all manipulation and feels and conformity and cross-your-fingers witchful thinking bullshit. | |
| Bullshit. | |
| So, there's no such thing as good and bad, right and wrong, but apparently ripping apart people's families is bad, whatever that means. | |
| And there's no morals. | |
| So he says, not sure why you would invoke fairy tale concepts. | |
| Now, the word sin to me is something that your conscience will get you on, that you claim is universal, but use for your own advantage, right? | |
| So he said, your entire shtick for a while. | |
| So there's certain NPC words, right, that you just know. | |
| Grifter, of course, is one of them. | |
| And shtick. | |
| Also, when people use inappropriate, quote-friendly nicknames like Steffi, Molly meme, I'm sort of torn on because, you know, it's become a meme of its own, so I don't consider it particularly malicious. | |
| So your entire shtick, that shtick is not an argument, for a while was about convincing people to cut ties and relationships with those around them that you would perceive to be, quote, toxic. | |
| This isn't a rumor. | |
| And Andrew Wilson, thank you, chimed in so good advice. | |
| So convincing people to cut ties in relationships with those around them that you would perceive to be toxic. | |
| So the analogy I used many years ago was if you think that a bridge, like I said, so you've got a little footbridge over a stream, right? | |
| It's a little footbridge over a stream. | |
| And you say, this footbridge is solid and firm and strong. | |
| And I say, well, then you should walk over it because you don't want to get wet or muddy or whatever. | |
| And then you walk over it and the footbridge collapses. | |
| Are you mad at me? | |
| Hey, man, you made me go on this footbridge. | |
| No, it didn't. | |
| You said the footbridge was strong. | |
| I don't want you to get muddy and wet, so go walk on the footbridge. | |
| So what did I say to people back in the day for many years, which I absolutely would still say today? | |
| It's a triple T. Standard English afternoon, a triple T. Tell the truth. | |
| Oh, you thought I was going to go up there, didn't you? | |
| So did I. But no. | |
| Tell the truth. | |
| That's all I say. | |
| People say, well, my father did this wrong. | |
| My mother did this wrong. | |
| I was really angry about this. | |
| I'm really upset. | |
| Tell them the truth. | |
| Sit down with them and tell them what your problems are. | |
| Tell them what your criticisms are. | |
| Tell them what your issues are. | |
| Don't be in a relationship and lie your ass off. | |
| And I say that with great sympathy. | |
| Don't be in a relationship and lie your ass off. | |
| That is dishonorable to you. | |
| It's dishonorable to the other person. | |
| And lying in your primary relationships has massive negative effects on your heart, mind, conscience, your soul, for want of a better word. | |
| Don't lie in your primary relationships. | |
| Don't put on a fake smile. | |
| Don't pretend things are fine when you're angry. | |
| Communicate. | |
| Be honest, open, direct with people in your life. | |
| So people would go and talk to their parents. | |
| And if it was parents, right? | |
| It could be husband, wife, and parents. | |
| This is a typical thing, right? | |
| Now, if telling people, go and talk to your parents about what's bothering you, how would that be to rip apart families? | |
| Families are already apart. | |
| Like they're already apart. | |
| If people aren't talking about what they think and feel. | |
| There is no connection. | |
| If you're in a family situation and you're biting your tongue, you're dissociating, you're not being honest, you're just being run over by the other person's indifference and avoidance and gaslighting. | |
| You don't exist. | |
| You're like a ghost. | |
| Go and be honest and tell the truth. | |
| I mean, that's like the Robin Williams genie in Aladdin, just tell the truth, triple T. Forgive me, Father, for I was raised, raised, raised, raised, almost whipped up with the commandment, thou shalt not bear false witness. | |
| Thou shalt not bear false witness. | |
| What was I always told as a child? | |
| What were you always told as a child? | |
| Tell the truth. | |
| Tell the truth. | |
| Be honest. | |
| Don't lie. | |
| I mean, do me this. | |
| Do me this. | |
| Hit me with a why if you were punished as a child for lying either directly or indirectly. | |
| Hit me with a why. | |
| If you were punished either in school or in church, extended family, in your family, wherever, were you punished for lying? | |
| I mean, I was. | |
| I was punished for lying. | |
| And I was told to tell the truth. | |
| Wasn't complicated. | |
| Be honest. | |
| Be honest. | |
| And I was told that I had to be responsible for my own decisions. |
