Choosing Your Company

|
| Let's see here. | |
| Ba da dum ba ba ba da da du doom ba ba ba doom ba doom ba ba. | |
| All right, let me get to comments over here on locals and X. All right. | |
| Another two cents. | |
| Yeah, I mean, you can keep posting. | |
| I'm not going to read any of your stuff. | |
| It's all just so girly. | |
| All right. | |
| Yeah, I know. | |
| I've also posted like one in 20 people you meet has no conscience. | |
| They can just do whatever they want and never feel bad about it. | |
| And it's important to be aware of that. | |
| All right. | |
| Sapanta, nice to see you. | |
| Hey, Steph, I've seen a lot of men push back on the idea of being vulnerable around women and how women are just emotional, hysterical, and incapable of being logical or level-headed. | |
| They kind of be blah, blah, blah. | |
| Well, this is... | |
| Permission to rant. | |
| No! | |
| I've been back on Twitter, what, less than two weeks? | |
| 12 days, something like that. | |
| Oh, I forgot, because I've been around you, lovely, wonderful, warm, rational people. | |
| And of course, there's a lot of lovely, warm, rational people out there on the Twitter spaces. | |
| But let me tell you. | |
| People always forget to add that I know. | |
| Drives me crazy. | |
| Men won't commit. | |
| No. | |
| The men that you know won't commit. | |
| Women are irrational. | |
| No, no, no. | |
| The women that you know are irrational. | |
| It's a bit maddening that people are so untrained and unaware of basic epistemology or the study of knowledge that they think that their personal experience translates to the universal. | |
| Well, no one I know speaks Japanese, therefore Japanese doesn't exist. | |
| Oh my gosh. | |
| Women exploit men for resources. | |
| Like, no, no, the women you know. | |
| But there's a whole lot of layers in this world. | |
| And the fact that you choose to live in a sewer doesn't mean the whole world stinks of shit. | |
| You can change your layers. | |
| You can change your class. | |
| You can change your companionship. | |
| You can change the moral quality of the people who are around you. | |
| But in order to have people with higher standards around you, you have to have higher standards for yourself. | |
| If you choose, and I say this with sympathy, because we're born in the underworld, and some people are born in the above world, the upper world. | |
| So if you're born in the underworld, like in the world of people who just project and blame and attack and have trashy opinions and make trashy decisions and so on. | |
| If you're born there, like I have a lot of sympathy, if it's any consolation, I was born there too. | |
| Oh my. | |
| Heavenly word above, you do not have to stay there. | |
| Oh, men just cheat. | |
| No, no. | |
| No. | |
| The men you date cheat. | |
| The men you choose to have sex with cheat. | |
| Not men. | |
| And the reason I keep pushing back on this, of course, is because if women think, well, men just cheat, they just ghost you. | |
| They just use you for sex. | |
| It's like, no, the men that you choose to have sex with, that's the filter. | |
| What you choose, who you choose to let into your body, into your heart, and into your life. | |
| Not everyone. | |
| But if you think it's everyone, you can't escape. | |
| So the people who want to exploit you for sex, ladies, will always tell you that there's a patriarchy and men just exploit women so that you never raise your standards and get out and get away from them. | |
| People are trapped far more by their beliefs than their circumstances as adults, as children. | |
| So Sepanto goes on to say, we're critiquing somebody else or some other group. | |
| These men genuinely think women are like children. | |
| Okay, let's say, of course, there are men like children. | |
| There are women like children. | |
| Women are like children. | |
| No, the women you know are like children, not women as a whole. | |
| Yeah. | |
| You are a hardcore 12-year-old staff. | |
| Crime and punishment at 12 is insane. | |
| Yeah, it was a friend of mine, friend later died. | |
| It was a friend of mine, single mother, dated a baker up north. | |
| He's the guy who taught me about X-Day Fresh. | |
| So one day, I said, well, what do you do with old loaves of bread? | |
| Oh, nobody buys them. | |
| We just put them out and say, one day fresh. | |
| Because day old. | |
| What if it's two days? | |
| That's two day fresh. | |
| What if it's three days? | |
| It's three day fresh. | |

Critiquing Generations

|
| I don't know why I remember that, but I do. | |
| So he just, in a strange twist or quirk of fate, this guy who ran a bakery in northern Ontario almost 50 years ago had a copy of Crime and Punishment. | |
| I picked it up and I read it. | |
| Somebody, Obamacare says, I started reading about astronomy and dinosaurs in single digits. | |
| By 12, I was reading Greek mythology, relativity, and quantum mechanics, popular science books by my teens. | |
| Star Trek Foundation Universe by Asimov. | |
| Mid to late teens, I discovered Douglas Adams. | |
| I could never get into Asimov. | |
| And my God, if you ever want to read something absolutely horrifyingly appalling. | |
| Thank you for your tip, David. | |
| I appreciate that. | |
| Freedomain.com slash donate to help out the show, or you can tip on locals or on Rumble. | |
| I really do appreciate that. | |
| I never got into Isaac Asimov. | |
| And boy, if you read about his son and the relationship of the prosecutor to the Russia Collusion Conspiracy Host, it's absolutely amazing. | |
| I shared the Spanish edition of Peaceful Parenting with two parents of newborns. | |
| Thank you very much. | |
