In this episode, we explore the complex interplay between personal responsibility, societal expectations, and the psychological theories that shape our understanding of human behavior. Reflecting on the upcoming challenges facing America, I share insights from my own experiences working in various restaurants, including the stress of deadlines and management pressures that can lead to emotional upheaval. Tales from my days at Pizza Hut and Swiss Chalet illuminate the struggles and triumphs of early work life, prompting a discussion on the often-difficult nature of leadership and accountability.
We dive into the ramifications of behaviorism, tracing its roots to thinkers like B.F. Skinner and John B. Watson. This theory, which posits that human beings are blank slates shaped entirely by their environments, begs questions about the role of innate qualities versus external influences in determining our paths. I address the societal disdain for admitting inherent differences among people, alluding to the rising interest in genetic factors, such as IQ, as they intersect with our understanding of behavior and potential.
The conversation shifts to the psychological compulsion to blame external forces when individuals mess up their lives. This tendency toward excuses often leads to the adoption of ideologies promising solace but denying accountability. Using personal anecdotes and broader societal observations, I argue that escaping the comfort of excuses can be a challenging yet crucial step in realizing personal potential and accepting responsibility for one's actions.
As we confront the implications of capitalism and individual success, I discuss how systemic structures can obscure personal failures while simultaneously fostering resentment towards those who achieve success. Drawing on popular culture references, I emphasize the significance of recognizing the various pathways individuals take to success or failure. I navigate the tricky waters of romantic and social relationships, hinting at how many remain in unfulfilling situations out of fear, stagnation, or misplaced loyalty.
Touching on the allure of technology and artificial intelligence, I reflect on how these innovations can simultaneously deepen our isolation and offer a new lens through which we can evaluate our own lives. Engaging with themes of distraction and emotional availability, I ponder how our interactions—with each other and with machines—shape our societal fabric and individual psyches.
Finally, I take a detour to discuss more lighthearted matters like historical music trivia and the nuances of modern dating norms, connecting it all back to the ongoing search for meaningful human connection amidst the chaos of daily life. This episode culminates in a profound reminder about the importance of self-awareness, responsibility, and the unyielding quest for personal growth against all odds.
[0:00] Good evening, everybody. 23rd of October, 2024.
[0:04] My God, it's only two weeks until all hell breaks loose in America. So, I hope you're doing well. And we're here to talk about whatever's on your mind, whatever you're thinking. I'm happy to, we were just talking about Trump working at McDonald's that I was giving some of my, like in the pre-show, just giving some of my restaurant experiences.
[0:28] I liked working at Pizza Hut. It was a good place to work. It was crazy stressful, though, not for me so much, but for the manager. He would throw up after lunches, because there was this deal back in the day. I'm sure that they resurrected from time to time. There was this deal back in the day that by the time you order your food, you have to get your drink and your lunch within 10 minutes, and they actually put these little LED clocks. Nobody had stopwatches back then, right? These little LED clocks, you'd hit a button and you'd have to get their drink order out and then their pizza order out within 10 minutes or they got a free pizza. They got a free coupon for the next day or whenever they wanted to come again. And I remember the restaurant manager, his name was Tony, as you could imagine.
[1:16] And he would sometimes throw up after lunch. He would find it so stressful to try and make sure everything was working because I guess he was getting pressure from head office. I mean, maybe he was just the sole proprietor. I guess it was his restaurant, but he had everything on the line. And I remember, this is sort of, you know, back in my early capitalist days, I remember thinking, like, man, being a boss does not look like a lot of fun. And he was there all the time, constantly, there were problems with people, you know, quitting and not showing up for shifts. And he had this crate. And I just remember looking and saying, oh, man, and that really doesn't look like much fun at all. And it's funny because there was no union when I was at the Pizza Hut and I got all the free meals I wanted.
[1:57] I didn't have to pay for my own uniforms. And then when I moved to Swiss Chalet where I worked for a couple of years.
[2:03] I had to pay a reduced price for every meal, and I had to buy my own uniform. And I remember the union took, what, 6-7% of my pay? I'm like, I don't know that this is exactly adding up. Exactly adding up. Always loved that chicken. They had this great salad with this chicken salad in a sort of ice cream scoop in the middle. It was so good. But I also really liked the Fettuccine Alfredo at Pizza Hut. So good yeah i i was saying in the pre-show i i was a dishwasher for like a day or two i just quit and i was i needed three jobs to keep like i've been paying my own bills since i was 15 years old.
[2:48] And i uh i quit that i couldn't do it i couldn't do it like i've quit only a few jobs uh in my life.
[3:00] And i remember i i was gonna with a girlfriend back in the day this was in my very early 20s i was going to spend the summer up at a hunting lodge it was on an island it was a hunting lodge and a fishing lodge and the pay wasn't great and it was like you're expected to put in like 14 16 hour days and i just i just did the math back in napkin and i was like oh my god i'm getting like a buck 80 an hour and i was like nope boy that was an awkward drive back after i quit it was an awkward drive back on the boat with the guy oh yeah that was no good i i don't like it when.
[3:36] Employers kind of misrepresent things so all right so yeah i was saying i think i think trump's a pretty nice guy that way and in terms of you know he seemed to be having fun, and you know people said uh oh it's so nice for you to spend time with ordinary people he says hey, there's nothing ordinary about you, you know, and that's nice for people to be reminded of. But, you know, it's funny because, what was it, left-wing social media was incensed, as they often are, incensed that it wasn't real. Like, he didn't actually apply, he didn't actually get the job, he didn't actually get paid, it was staged, and it's like, the guy's been shot at. More than a rubber duck at the fair I don't know, it's just bizarre there is really no lower layer of hell than people who hate just because they're told to.
[4:38] And that really is one of the worst and most programmable aspects of human nature is there's probably between 40 and 60 percent of people, and you could argue sort of post-pandemic that the number went even up to 80 or higher, the Milgram people, right? The people who will hate because they're told to, they don't have any facts, they don't have any arguments, they're just roused to hate someone, something, just because they're told to, and they have no doubt about it. I mean, that is where almost all human iniquity comes from, and it is a tragically common thing. A tragically common thing.
[5:23] Hey Stef thanks for being here any thoughts on the psychological school of thought called, behaviorism to me it seems like another way to avoid the truth of genetics and IQ yeah apparently people are now also up in arms because uh apparently I've read I haven't verified it but I was reading about how there is a IVF um service now that lets you select by IQ, ah well you know it'll it'll come um it'll come you just you just have to be patient and wait for human beings it's not even it's not even like you have to catch up it's like you've you've, you're like a chimpanzee on the shore looking at the jellyfish saying come on evolve, come on it's beautiful out here you get your bananas you get your sunshine it's lovely gets a swing from the trees just evolve, you're not even waiting for human beings to catch up you're just waiting for human beings to, get some limbs and get out of the ocean catch up with this stuff so behaviorism was popularized by B.F. Skinner so.
[6:40] It is treating the human being as a programmable, empirical, sense-based animal, for the most part. It really doesn't go from the inside out. It doesn't go from the unconscious out. It doesn't go from images or dreams or personal memories of experiences and so on. It doesn't seem to do much with trauma as a whole, but it's very much just sort of outside in. It's just sort of outside in. It's the people who view the human being as like foundationally, almost universally spirit, but encased in this little flash robot suit for a short period of time, but the foundation is the spirit and the soul and the ghost in the machine. This is the other extreme, where humanity is a series of muscles and synapses, That doesn't really have a spirit. It's a great song by Christopher, The Spirit of Man. He's a great, great singer.
[7:51] So, let's see here. This is from Very Well Minded. Behaviorism is a theory of learning based on the idea that all behavior is required through conditioning, and conditioning occurs through interaction with the environment. Behaviorists believe that our actions are shaped by environmental stimuli. So behavior can be studied in a systematic and observable manner regardless of internal mental states behavioral theory also says that only observable behavior should be studied as cognition emotions and mood are far too subjective strict behaviorists believe that any person regardless of genetic background personality traits and internal thoughts can be trained to perform any task within the limits of their physical capabilities.
[8:34] It only requires the right conditioning. So this is just another blank slate situation.
[8:43] So this is a quote from John B. Watson, 1913. This is a quote. He's considered the father of behaviorism. He says, quote, give me a dozen healthy infants well-formed and my own specified world to bring them up in, and I'll guarantee to take anyone at random and train him to become any type of specialist I might select. Doctor, lawyer, artist, merchant chief, and yes, even beggar man and thief, regardless of his talents, penchants, pensions, tendencies, abilities, vocations, and race of his ancestors. All behaviors are the result of experience. Any person, regardless of their background, can be trained to act in a particular manner, given the right conditioning. And from about 1920 through the mid-1950s, this was the dominant school of thought in psychology.
[9:35] So i mean you know people on the left don't like ingrained behaviors that differentiate people and people on the right don't like it because it denies to some degree the universality of the soul and the superstition of blank slate egalitarianism and the superstition of soul-based life form where everything is interchangeable it's just going to take humanity a while to catch up to the facts, to the evidence, to the science. It is. And it just became like people are so resistant to this idea. People are so resistant because to give up.
[10:17] To give up the blank slate is to give up the greed of resentment. It's really tough for people to do. It's really tough for people to do. Oh, not fair. Oh, not fair. Right? It's the younger sibling lament or sometimes middle sibling, sometimes the elder sibling. Oh, not fair. Not fair. How come he gets more? How come he? Right? So the blank slate thing is everyone is equal. Well, we just have different environment, right? There was a famous movie with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd called Trading Places, wherein, I mean, it's been forever since I've seen it, but if memory serves me right, a rich preppy guy who's Dan Aykroyd, these two old guys mess with their lives, and he goes tumbling and spiraling down into being homeless.
[11:06] And Eddie Murphy, who plays a homeless con man, ends up having this absolute genius for investments and ends up making a fortune and being wealthy, right? So this is just, it's just all circumstances, right? If you happen to be born to a wealthy family and you're given a whole bunch of opportunities, then you can become a scion of industry, you can become whatever, right? And if you are born on the down low, you're born in bad neighborhoods, then you're just going to, you're doomed to that. It's all just environment, right? It's all just environment.
[11:42] Is very, very hard for people to give that up. Because.
[11:52] If you can convince the world that you didn't make mistakes, you are just unlucky.
[12:03] Ah, that is a goldmine. That is a goldmine. If you can just convince the world, hey, man, I was born into this bad environment and, And, you know, I ended up running with a bad crowd and no one gave me any wisdom. And so I ended up doing a bunch of drugs. And then I went into an even worse crowd and we ended up, you know, robbing houses. And it's just dominoes. You're just bouncing down. Like nature just kicks you unsteady and limbless at the top of a spiral staircase and you just bounce down forever and so on, right? It's very very tempting to look at the world that way because then when you do badly, you can look at the people who do well and say it's not to their credit that they did well and it is not because of me that i did badly.
[13:04] It's not they did not earn doing well they were just lucky, i am not responsible for doing badly i was just unlucky right now if you can get a lot of people to believe that and people you understand i mean my gosh i've seen this so much right, i've seen this so much around the world man people are so absolutely completely and totally desperate for an ideology that excuses them their failures. You ever seen this? There is a massive demand for ideology as a whole that excuses.
[13:51] Gives people an excuse for their failures. Oh, it's huge. It's absolutely huge. And it seems to be almost a bottomless hole that can never be filled. There's no amount of facts that can talk people out of it. If you've really fucked up your life, like just catastrophe, it hits you like a weird, deep shock, and you have to have some kind of explanation. What happened that my life ended up so badly? Now, the problem is, and I feel this very strongly, which is, I'm just telling you, I'm emotionally invested, so you can have this be as wrong-handed and pig-headed and as subjective and emotional as possible. So the problem is.
[14:52] People who really fuck up their lives almost always tends to be the people who make the most excuses to begin with. And the delivery of excuses is a sabotage of the human soul. Having an endless supply, oh, it's because of race, oh, it's because of class, oh, it's because of gender, oh, it's because of X, Y. So giving people endless excuses causes them to externalize what's called the locus of control or who's in charge of your life. It's the system, man. System won't let me get ahead.
[15:26] So the problem is the people who fuck up their lives the most almost always tend to be the people who have made the most excuses and externalized the most responsibility.
[15:42] Now, the problem then becomes that, let's say that your life is a complete cock up by the time you're 40, right? Like you've just messed it up, right? You don't have a wife, you don't have kids, you don't have a decent career, you don't have much savings, your health is maybe kind of wrecked, you're overweight, you're like you're just, you've screwed up your life pretty badly by the time you're 40. And you start to get this unease, like maybe I am doing the wrong things, maybe I am, you start to get this real unease and you face this fork in the road. And the fork in the road is you start taking responsibility and stop blaming others or, you escalate blaming others and become an ideologue you hollow yourself out you become an npc npcs are run by excuses they're not run by programming fundamentally they're run by excuses.
[16:44] So by the time you're 40 if you've really screwed up your life and that doesn't mean permanently. It just means that I'm just talking about 40, right? You've really screwed up your life and you've screwed up your life because of excuses, right? So what's happened is from whatever age onwards, at what age did you start turning your life around? Somebody asked me. In my 30s? No, I told you I started paying my own bills when I was 15. Kick my mom out. I started turning my life around at the age of 15.
[17:16] I got, uh, I worked hard. I got a good education in my twenties and, uh, avoided marrying the woman I was going to marry in my twenties and started a business in my twenties that did very well. So no, I was, uh, I was turning my life around. I went to theater school and I got an undergraduate degree in, um, well, I did two years of English, switched to history, did undergraduate in history, did a graduate degree in, um, uh, history of philosophy. So no, I was turning my life around pretty early. And when I was a little heavier going into my teens, I started working out, joined the swim club, joined swim team, water polo team, cross-country team. I played a lot of soccer and jogged. I ran like 20 miles when I was working up north. And so I started turning things around pretty early on.
[17:59] But that's just as I was tempted, as everyone is, by excuses, right? And excuses are like drugs. I mean, they give you the relief.
[18:10] By not holding yourself accountable. And the reason why it's hard for so many people to hold themselves accountable is they're held accountable prematurely and abusively when they're young. So they view accountability as a form of verbal abuse and they don't want to verbally abuse and attack themselves. So they make excuses to ward off this abusive thing called being held accountable. Who's responsible for this, right? Your mom comes in and something broke. Who did this? Who's responsible for this ah responsibility means a beating okay i'm avoiding responsibility no it was him that was him the wind blew in a bird flew through it just went over on its own uh somebody jumped up the stairs and the juke wobbled right you just won't take accountability because accountability who did this who did this accountability is punishment.
[18:56] So by the time people get to that when they're 40 they have probably 25 or 30 years.
[19:07] Of blaming the environment blaming others not taking responsibility not taking accountability so then when they get to their fork in the road which is responsibility or excuses because they have a quarter century or 30 years of this habit, they go to excuses. And they say, I mean, it's one of the problems with capitalism, right? Under serfdom, everybody's a failure, so to speak, right? Because nobody can get ahead, right? When the Lord holds all the land and you just bought and sold like livestock with the land, and right, the first time that people could excel economically in all of human history without straight-up war and murder, which is just theft, right? The only time, and I wrote a whole novel about this called Just Poor, which you should absolutely check out at justpoornovel.com. It's free. So the first time that people could excel economically was in the enclosure movement, 18th century in England, and other places, but it restarted in England.
[20:15] Where the serfs were separated from the land, and the land was able to be bought and sold. And once the land is able to be bought and sold, then the most economically productive farmers, become the people who own the most land. And the lazy, or the drunken, or the incompetent, or the foolish, or the, I don't know, I don't think I'd be a great farmer, they're too abstract, That's right, they lose the land and the competent people gain the land.
[20:45] So one of the big problems with capitalism, thank you, Anthony, one of the big problems with capitalism is that you can no longer have as many excuses. Because if everyone around you is a, quote, failure, because you're not allowed any economic advantage or advancement, then you can say, well, it is the lot of human beings to struggle under the heels of the powerful and nobody gets ahead and my brother doesn't get ahead and my uncle never got ahead and my great aunt never got ahead and my children won't get ahead, right? So we'll just kind of keep our heads down and keep our nose to the wheel, keep grinding around and hope for happiness in the afterlife, right? That's all you can do. It's all you can aim for. It's all you can hope for. Now, the problem is though, when capitalism comes along, then skilled people, hardworking people, dedicated people accumulate massive amounts, of resources. So then you have a disparity and you can no longer say, well, nobody gets ahead because maybe you're the lazy brother and then there's the hardworking brother, the prodigal son, right? And he goes and he works his ass off and he becomes a millionaire and you are digging shit for outhouses.
[22:03] So then you have this question, how is he a millionaire and I'm digging shit for outhouses? what the fuck happened, you know it's a tough question, it's a tough tough why are the aborigines copy pasting the same groundhog day for 40,000 years.
[22:31] Why is he getting ahead and i'm not and i'm sure the mainstream media had this with me when they saw my performance on social media they saw my performance hey steve they they saw my performance on on on twitter and and other places and it's like well how's he getting views and we're not, he's like two guys and we are jeez what did i see tim cast tim cast he's just tim is uh, uh cutting back his 16 hour work days and he is uh guys getting married and having a kid and all of that so good for him good for him he's 38 i think so it's a good time it's a good time it should have been a bit sooner but maybe his wife is uh or his girlfriend is younger, I can't remember what her name is, but why is that person getting ahead? Why is that person wealthy and I'm not? That's tough, man. Have you had people in your life who've gone through this paroxysm? Support a reading The Art of the Argument. Excellent so far. Thank you, Art of the argument.com. It's a great book. It's great. James, let's put that in rotation.
[23:47] How come? Why is it him, not me? Why is it him, not me? And it's tough.
[23:57] It's a tough, tough question, right? Tim Pool's OF. No, it's not Holy Fan's girlfriend. Go for it. Um...
[24:13] So, some of the answer is innate intelligence, right? IQ is 80% heritable, 80 plus percent heritable by late teens, and it goes up even from there. And that's accidental gifts or not. I'm like, that's accidental. But, but, but in terms of success, I mean, certainly IQ is somewhat related to ethics, but not obviously one-to-one. And so as far as success goes, the question is not the middle class versus the success, right? The, you know, the plumber versus the Elon Musk, right?
[24:51] The issue is...
[25:00] It's the failure versus the massive success, right? Because what is always the case, always the cry from particularly the left, but governments as a whole, we're going to make the billionaires pay their fair share. Resentment, resentment. Why did they succeed and why did I fail? Now, the IQ argument helps a lot to soothe these wounds, right? like why was, bono a lead singer in a band and i'm not well because he sings really well and i don't and so that's that's a difference right that's a difference, i mean why why sting a lead singer of the singer of the police right because he's willing to eat virtually nothing, jump off bandstands and play a fretless bass. I'm willing to do none of those things. And he sings really well. And a great songwriter, obviously. Good performer. So, they get the voice. Others don't. Right? Nothing wrong with that. That's just scattershot. You got to find what you're good at and hit your niche. And then, if you're like me, wreck it for the sake of truth.
[26:28] So, there is, oh, did you hear Elon Musk recently say he didn't intend to start a business? He only started a business because he couldn't get a job. He said he applied at Netscape and got rejected. But Elon's dad had an emerald mine. Yes, but I do think that his, was his father abusive? Stings IQ. Yeah, yeah, Stings, yeah, Stings, smart guy. Oh, the vanity though. I mean, given how talented and good-looking he is and great physique and all of that. I mean, I can understand the vanity, but holy crap, it would be absolutely insufferable to be around. So, when people have screwed up, they need an answer. Now, nobody will give them the IQ answer, although that's part of the puzzle. It's an important part. There's no final part of the puzzle because there's free will, right? So there's free will, but who is giving the answer? Now, to some degree, the religious answer is that the rich man is a sinner.
[27:34] Right? A rich man is a sinner.
[27:48] So he's he's too concerned with material gain he sold his soul for money it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. So they say, well, he's wealthy because he's immoral. He's chased money. He's not taking care of his soul. He's gotten seduced by greed and filthy lucre. So that's one answer, right?
[28:24] No, no updates on meetups at the moment, sorry. Money is not the root of all evil, it's the love of money. Well, that's the old line. Money's the root of all evil, they say, but when it comes to a raise, you'll find they ain't giving none away. Love of money is not the root of all evil. The desire for the unearned is the root of all evil. And the unearned can be any number of things, right? I mean, if the love of money is the root of all evil, a rapist doesn't do it for money. but that's very evil. People murder for reasons other than money. That's a greater evil. So no, it's not the love of money. It's a desire for the unearned.
[29:07] The desire for the unearned, by definition, means you have to get it through fraud or force, right? Otherwise, you've earned it. So, people get to the middle point of their lives, and if they have screwed up, they look for an ideology that makes it not their fault now some things are not your fault right, right if you happen to be a short mesomorph whatever right you're not going to be a supermodel right if you happen to not have a great singing voice you're not going to be a singer if you whatever right if you have bad skin that's just sometimes bad luck i think it has a lot to do with stress, but it's, a lot of times it's just bad luck, right? You know, I had a friend of mine when I was in my teens, he was like six foot five or six foot six, and he had knee problems, and it was just terrible, and he had knee issues. I can't remember if he had surgery, but I think he ended up addicted to drugs to some degree because of the pain, and it was just, oh man, it was horrible. I remember we went to go and see a movie, and he had to have an aisle seat, because he had to be able to stretch his legs out, and he was crying during the movie, and it wasn't even a sad pun. I'm like, what's going on, man? It's like, oh, my knee's killing me. Like it was that bad, right?
[30:27] It's bad luck. I mean, he wasn't overweight. He exercised, just happened to be tall, happened to have knee problems, knee and back problems, and you live less long. But hey, you're tall, right? On average. So bad luck. So sometimes it's not your fault, for sure. But it is your responsibility to figure out what you're good at and what you're not good at and plan accordingly, right? I mean, I tried a whole bunch of different things until I found what I'm best at and what is most unique and most necessary, I would argue, of course, is this, right? I mean, I did novel writing, poetry. I wrote 30 plays. I produced a play or two. I did acting. I did Shakespearean leads. I did academics. You know, I did novel writing. I had an agent. I got amazing reviews from my books, but no one published them because they were anti-communist. So I tried a whole bunch. I was in the business world. I ran a company. I worked at several different companies at executive levels. I was on a board. I just did a lot of cool stuff. And I was pretty good at a lot of it. But I had to keep working and working until I found what works best.
[31:52] Same thing with dating, right? Date a lot of women and then meet the woman of my dreams and it's great.
[32:04] Why did I fail? Why did I fail? My mother had this. Why, you know, she's a beautiful woman. She's very intelligent. She's a lot of charisma, good sense of humor at times. and she had to sit there and say why why am i alone why am i a failure why do i not work why she seized upon are the doctors poisoned me and they injected things into me and it's their fault, right why why why did things go so badly for me and it's tough man it's tough, a lot of times things go badly for people because they have people in their lives who don't care about them. I mean, I know that one, right? I mean, I was in bad relationships to some degree. I mean, it's still my responsibility, but I was in bad relationships to some degree because the people around me didn't give me any feedback or didn't care how I was doing. And once I realized that, I realized it's up to me to have quality people in my life. It's not up to anyone else. It's up to me to have quality people in my life, and that's it. It's my responsibility. So.
[33:27] When people have made bad decisions, which we all make, a bad decision only becomes bad when you don't learn from it, right? You make a bad decision and it only stays bad if you don't learn from it. Otherwise, it's just something you ricocheted off to get to a better place, right? A bad decision only stays bad if you don't learn from it. So people make bad decisions and they refuse to learn from them. They avoid, they make excuses. It wasn't me. It was someone else, you know, like that woman you meet. Every one of her exes was crazy and she was just perfect. Never did anything wrong.
[34:13] So people say the environment, the circumstances, other people are just responsible for how their life turned out, wasn't their fault, wasn't their issue, wasn't their problem, wasn't them, wasn't me, wasn't me.
[34:33] And then they can't escape the fact that other people have succeeded, maybe other people close to them, maybe an immediate family member, maybe a friend, maybe someone they grew up with, maybe someone from the same bad circumstances, bad environment, right? Why? Damn it, why didn't I succeed? Why did he succeed? Why did she succeed? And I'm telling you this, man, there's a tipping point in life where you can't, if you lie to yourself too often, you literally cannot. Oh, it looks like you've taken a hard fall. No, I'm okay. I did not fall uh yeah sorry because i thumped my hand oh it looks like you take a hard fall you okay no i'm good so but i appreciate i appreciate the watch watching out for me it's watching out for me so why did he succeed and why did i fail and if you lie to yourself for too long and you avoid responsibility and you make excuses you can't tell yourself the truth anymore right So let's say a woman, she's 45. She's like, why didn't anyone fall in love with me? Why didn't anyone marry me? Why didn't anyone get down on their knees and bring me flowers and beg me to be their wife? And why? Why?
[36:00] Well, let's say she answers that question. Well, because I made bad choices in men and because I listened to propaganda and because I thought I had more time and because I kept thinking I could do better. Like, she can't accept that at 45 because it's too late. She can't have kids. She's blown it. End of her line. Four billion years. Boom. End of the line. End of the line.
[36:35] Because you can't accept it and knowing like a lot of society is driven by the people who are past the tipping point right there's no point like they can't fix it they can't they can't go back in time they can't fix it some guy who's like 55 who's just you know i mean i remember talking many years ago to a guy he was in his early 50s and he's like well i'm i'm living in my brother's garage. I don't have a job, but I don't want to panic. And I'm like, well, you do. You kind of do. Now would be an excellent time to panic because I'm not sure what you're waiting for. Like if you're in your early 50s and you're living in your brother's garage, I mean, what are you going to do? I mean, what the fuck are you going to do if you're 53 and you're living in your brother's garage? What are the odds of you having a good career after that? You've missed it. you've missed it there there are windows in life they open and then they close and slam, the 45 year old woman ain't gonna have kids if she's childless.
[37:42] The guy who's 53 and living in his brother's garage and is broke is not gonna have a good career oh but I know a guy who irrelevant Irrelevant. That's COVID. Why? Why did I fail? Why did I fail and others succeed?
[38:09] It tortures people. And especially after they can't fix it anymore. I mean, hell, a guy who's 45 or 50 who never had kids, and now he wants kids. I'm like, you've got to start dating. Maybe you'll be 50 when you have your kids, which means you're going to be 68 when they're adults. And I don't know, man.
[38:43] So people who've just fucked things up I mean I've always been terrified of fucking things up because I mean I know that like I was looking at Tim Kast's numbers like the people he streams to, a few more than us but I don't view that he just took a different path right honestly I don't view because I held fast to the most important truths and, so So I'm very content and very happy with the choices that I've made. Co-op and sieve. So what happens is there's this pull economy. There's this demand of people who've fucked up. I know a guy, says someone, well, I know my mom was 43 when she had me, but that was one of those exceptions that proves the rule. I said 45. A woman who gets pregnant at 45 and comes to a healthy baby, and I assume that you weren't the first kid, right? So I'm talking about a woman who's single at 45. She's not going to have kids. She's not going to have kids.
[39:56] So when people have fucked up beyond all repair, people do that to their lives on a regular basis. They fuck up their lives beyond all repair. Well, then they feel bad. And because they've made excuses, which is why their lives are screwed up.
[40:29] They are fertile ground for ideologies that blame others. Somebody says, Stef, you could have Tim Pool's numbers if you ran everything on his show through NewsGuard. If you ran everything on your show through NewsGuard like Tim Pool did to avoid the YouTube ban. Oh, is there a service now? Sorry, let's just take a slight detour here. Is there a service where you can run things through and figure out whether you'll get banned or not?
[41:04] Okay well, so I'm looking for influence in the future not numbers in the present and plan is going well plan is going well so, people need someone to blame when they've foobarred their life. And Lord knows there's an infinite supply of people who will tell you it wasn't your fault, it's the institution, it's the system, it's the capitalist, it's this, it's that, and you couldn't get ahead, and other people are just lucky. And so the problem is, of course, that when you don't hold yourself accountable, for the mistakes that you've made, you can't give anyone else praise for their achievements. If it's not your fault that you failed, it can't be anyone else's fault or anyone else's credit that they have succeeded.
[42:22] So, it's rough man, it's rough.
[42:34] So, it's rough. So uh behaviorism is is one of these things right because it says hey man like everyone's a blank slate anyone can be everything and of course you know people say well there's this russian guy he taught all two or three of his daughters to become really great at chess and they became really great at chess and it's like well yes but they're his kids i assume he had an intelligent wife and, right?
[43:06] So the determinism and infinite malleability of human nature is a cope and an excuse for people who failed. Say, well, it wasn't really up to me. It was based upon my environment. It's based upon whatever, right? And of course, you know, we all fail at stuff, but you just keep trying until you find something that really works for you. All right, let's see here. Let's get to your question. Stef, if you ask a woman her age shortly after meeting her, is that rude or weird? Is it like the equivalent of her asking you your salary? No, it's not the equivalent of you asking, of her asking you your salary because your salary is to some degree to some degree is manifested in your, situation, right?
[44:09] So you probably have, if let's say you make six figures, okay, you probably have a decent car, you probably have a reasonably nice apartment, you probably have some decent clothes, and so on, right? So she can, and then you say, here's what I do, I'm an engineer, and I have a Lexus, and I have a two-bedroom apartment that's half paid, like, whatever. So she can kind of figure out your salary based upon your cues. You say, ah, yes, but you can figure out her age based upon her cues, and it's like, eh, can you? You see these demon-spawn changes? If men find out we can shapeshift, they're going to tell the church, right? Have you ever seen these shapeshifting videos with women who transform themselves from four to nine with just weird filters? I don't know, you can't do filters in real life, but maybe you can. Obviously, you can on webcams. But women who get the Botox, they can get the sanding of the skin, the dermabrasion, they can get fillers, they can dye their hair, they almost always do, they can plump up their lips, because thinning lips is a sign of aging, and so they can plump up their lips.
[45:19] So, a woman can camouflage her age a lot more than a man can camouflage his poverty. A woman can camouflage her age a lot more than a man can camouflage his poverty.
[45:37] So, yeah, it's crazy. Reminds me of the Williams sisters' father training them from a young age in tennis got to play to your strengths. Well, and Tiger Woods was on Johnny Carson, what was it, at the age of two, golfing, right? And Andre Agassi's dad, like, strapped ping pong paddles to his kids when they were very little and all of that, right? So, yeah, Yeah, for sure. For sure. I mean, you can have an effect, right? I'm not saying that my daughter would be as innately good at reasoning and debating if I hadn't been reasoning with and debating with her since she was need to hide or hide or a grasshopper. So for sure, environment is not unimportant. I get that. Do you think Canada would be better off today or America worse off today if the U.S. had taken Canada in 1776 or in the War of 1812? I'm sorry, man. I love you to death. What a useless fucking question that is. I go, who knows? Who cares? Didn't happen. What's the point?
[46:39] What on earth? What on earth? I mean, completely different alternative history that never happened in this or any other universe. What on earth? I don't, I mean, help me understand, maybe I'm missing something important and I'm happy to be school, but what on earth would that mean about anything? So, okay, if George Washington was secretly a reptilian overlord from Betelgeuse 3, it's like, and how does that reduce violations for the non-aggression principle exactly? Oh, dear, oh, dear.
[47:20] I just had the darkest joke go through my head, but I think I'll keep it to myself. All right, nothing to do with you, Mobius, and I appreciate your question. I just, uh, I don't know what the purpose of that is at all.
[47:44] All right. Let's see. Any other questions or comments? Let's see here. I just feel sorry for Canadians. What are your daily steps at these days? Um, not too, not too bad. Uh, I pulled a little bit of a muscle, uh, unfortunately. Uh, and so I'm down a little bit, but, uh.
[48:13] So daily steps, I mean, you know, 10 to 12,000 usually, uh, if I'm doing any, I'm, I'm now doing, even when I, when I'm doing like the article reviews, I'm walking around, I'm doing sort of the social media reviews. I just, I'd like to walk, walk as much as possible, uh, walk as much as possible. If I'm doing call-in shows, I don't, you know, you notice, I don't do the video anymore because I just can't stand here for two and a half hours. Right. So I just like to keep, keep it moving, keep it loosey goosey.
[48:41] So yeah probably 10 to 15 and and uh probably eight to 10 hours of exercise a week not counting just sort of walking around and so on right so not bad not bad uh you know i can feel the creakiness a little bit i mean that's just i think it's just a factor of age you know i think, which is you know if i've been in a fairly long car ride i do feel like i'm on i'm unfolding an, old an old wicker chair and get out of the car so uh we are traveling as a family in south america to check out some of these places that doug casey favors i miss my treadmill greatly ah doug casey gosh was it argentina this was many moons ago uh because i used to do some shows with doug casey i did some work with doug casey way back in the day i remember being at being the mc at a conference of Doug Casey's back and watching Lou Rockwell speak. It's many years ago. Oh, gosh, what was the name? He was trying to open these libertarian communities in South America, Central America.
[49:45] Their names were in Spanish and I can't remember what they were, but did those ever go anywhere? Did they ever actually get those established?
[49:57] The anarcho-pulco guy was trying to do the same thing. as a whole so he had the estancia in argentina but now he favors uruguay and it's 400 acre place on the river there he had the what does that mean it's gone, does that mean it's gone what happened to it sorry this is a little bit inside uh it's a little like a little inside baseball here, caffa yet argentina, well all right i'm not going to try and look this up live it's a little bit inside baseball but.
[50:58] The guy who tried to pull it off in Chile was shut down by the environmental feds. The estancia is still going, but it doesn't put much work in it. Is that what you say? Stef, what are some tips to know if you have a viable business? Do sales come in almost immediately or does it take some time to make sales? I want to do B2B, sell machinery to companies to increase productivity.
[51:22] Um and Doug Casey also wrote some novels which are probably worth checking out I haven't had time but I will I'm sure at some point all right uh so I actually uh Joe I I did a uh, a call with an entrepreneur who was trying to figure out the viability of his business so I'm sure that will be out relatively soon and uh you can you can look for that uh so I I went I played skeptical investor. So skeptical investor is, you think of all of the tough questions that investors, like if you were going to an investor and saying, I want a million dollars to start a business, and the investor obviously is getting 10 of these proposals a day, why would he choose yours? So I did a show, because of course I faced down a bunch of investors over the years, getting funding for businesses. And so I know how to play skeptical investor, and it's a really, really great and useful exercise. And I went through this with this entrepreneur. So I won't answer this here because it was a long and interesting conversation about how to evaluate a business as a whole. So I hope you'll keep, it'll go out to donors first. Yeah, it's a really, I think it's a really interesting episode. And I do, of course, I miss the business world in those kinds of ways. And so I hope that you will, I'm sure you will check that out, but it's pretty Because the B2B sector is huge and super important.
[52:51] All right. Any other last questions, comments, issues, challenges, problems? I'm all ears. Tips, support, help, aid. I guess the question I'm trying to understand is what is the fundamental difference between Canadians and Americans that causes Canadians to accept being oppressed? Yeah, so this is kind of this cliche that the Americans are free and the Canadians are conformists and America is founded on a revolution and Canada is founded on peace and order and good government and all of that. It's like, well, tax burden in Canada can be lower in many ways than it is in the States. And I don't know, I don't know oh well you don't have much free speech in Canada compared to America it's like well there's free speech on paper and then there's free speech that you can actually practice right so I don't know, it seems like a bit of a cope I love America don't get me wrong it's a great country but this idea that Canadians are oppressed and Americans just aren't, i don't know man that's some pretty sketchy stuff going on over the last 150 years all right what are your thoughts on when people use the phrase i thought you meant or i didn't realize even though you gave them a direct order like don't eat my cake is it manipulation.
[54:16] Yeah it's just fog it's just fog oh when you said don't eat my cake i thought you meant i could have a bite no it's just a way of them like so there's an old saying right you've heard it a million times it's better to ask for forgiveness ask for forgiveness than to seek permission right so people do whatever they want and then they just assume they can fog it afterwards and you'll be okay with it right people just do what they want and then they assume that they can just fog you and you'll be okay with it right so if people get away with like most people will do what they get away with right there's an old chris rockliner man is only as faithful as his options so most people, most people will do what they can get away with. They don't have an internalized sense of morals. They will do what they can get away with.
[55:13] You know, Canada had, I mean, the Freedom Convoy was a very powerful thing. I don't know exactly the equivalent in the U.S., right? I mean, the Freedom Convoy, I mean, people were treated fairly brutally, and yet their COVID mandates evaporated almost immediately afterwards. So, I don't know, man. This thing, oh, the Americans are rebels, and the Canadians are just conformists, and it's like, Canadians, you know, it's a pretty harsh climate, man. There's a lot of toughness up here. I'm not sure that the average Floridian can handle a Canadian Winnipeg winter. Hey, Stef, did you hear about the 14-year-old who committed suicide over his chat GPT girlfriend? I did hear about that. I don't know the details. So it sounds too sensational and convenient to be as true as, right? So it could be the case. I don't know, obviously. I don't do paywalled stuff, right? So I think it was paywalled when I tried to look at it earlier, because I thought it was interesting. So it could be that what happened was he had a really good and interesting conversation.
[56:28] With ChatGPT. And what happened was he then realized sort of emotionally and deeply at some very deep level, he then probably realized how little he was, how little other people were interested him in his supposed environment or family, right? That would be my guess. I don't know, obviously. But see, the interesting thing about something like ChatGPT is you can have, and of course, I'm not ChatGPT guy, but we do have our, we have a call-and-show AI, we've got RTR AI, Bitcoin AI, General Steff AI, so you can have really important conversations with this AI. And when you have the undivided attention of an AI, it probably helps you understand just how fucking distracted people are in conversations. It's called cocktail eyes. You ever had this where you're trying to chat with someone at a party and they're just looking around to see if they can, if there's someone better for them to talk to and they're just giving that a little a bit hurly, snotty, down-the-nose kind of look at you, and I guess I can kill a little time with you, but don't expect me to stick around. My God. It's like, there was this guy, this Indian guy I was friends with when I was younger.
[57:47] And he, we would always, I would always say, let's get together this weekend, and he'd be like, well, you know, sounds good, but I'll let you know Friday. Okay.
[58:01] I'll let you know friday and of course it's blindingly obvious he was just hoping to get a better offer okay if i don't have anything good by friday yeah we can get together on the weekend, but i'll let you know friday and of course that makes it kind of useless for me right so i would just say no and we'll wait till you can plan ahead more than two days right so um so people are so distracted you ever try and have a conversation with someone their eyes keep drift into their phone or you don't have a like people are so distracted in conversations so what's really interesting and they're defensive and and all of that so when you're having a conversation with chat gpt i think it's going to break a lot of people's brains because thank you for the tip because you're getting a computer's undivided attention they're not distracted it's not going somewhere else it doesn't have somewhere else to be it doesn't have a show to email, or, oh, text mail, oh, Be Real came in, I got to take my photo, I got to, right, they're just, people are so distracted.
[59:10] So, I think when you're interacting with AI, it's not distracted, it doesn't have anywhere else to be, it doesn't have anything else to do, it's not waiting to confirm on Friday, it's not having to check its email, it's just, and I think that's going to break people, because they're going to recognize what they've been missing, right? Thank you. They're going to recognize what they've been missing. I mean, I don't mean to overpraise my marriage, but my example is that I can just sit there. What was it? My wife and my daughter and I, like two nights ago, we were just sitting there chatting, laughing, making jokes, and planning our lives for like, I don't know, we were there from like seven o'clock until like 10 30 it's like three and a half hours we're just sitting there chatting uh no phones no uh you didn't even have to go to the washroom i think i got up a get a glass of water at some point but it's just great fun and i mean that's not every day right but you know it's pretty regular so that's what it don't you feel this kind of relief sometimes uh when you're driving because people generally aren't on their phones or distracted, or you can actually have a conversation, he's trapped in the cabin of truth, right?
[1:00:32] So, I think that AI is pretty tough for a lot of people, because.
[1:00:46] They are so used to people being distracted and emotionally unavailable. I remember the police trampled people with their horses in Ottawa. Oh, there was an older indigenous lady who was trampled. Yeah, it was just terrible. Stef says somebody, I still have trouble understanding the process of, quote, stealing a woman from a long-term relationship where the guy is wasting her time. How would that work? is she supposed to break up with him then be single for some years to get over the breakup and only then should she start dating me? Man, I'm telling you, you'd be really, you probably would be really surprised at the number of non-relationships out there, sexless relationships, relationships without any passion, fire, romance, lust, desire, hot sex, like people who are just roommates, right? They're just roommates who complain about their jobs. Right? So, it's not like you're having to pick the locks of women chained with love and devotion and orgasms to some other guy.
[1:02:07] So, for a lot of people, if they've been in relationships where they're just, what do they call them, situationships, so just kind of roommates or friends with benefits, or even if it's a long-term relationship where the passion, you know, like I was talking to a guy the other day, he was in a half-decade relationship, and there was like no sex at all for the last two years. I mean, and I, of course, talked to a lot of guys on the show who are married, and there's no sex, or barely any sex, or the sex is like just kind of routine, and they call it the starfish, the woman just lies there, and all of that. So if it's a long-term relationship and there's no passion and she's kind of checked out and she's just kind of treading water and dissociating and forgetting the passage of time and so on, if you liberate her from that relationship, you know, I mean, she may have not been really connected to that guy.
[1:03:01] They might have drifted to vague roommate status years ago, in which case some of that time period is added to the healing process, so to speak, right?
[1:03:21] I always call people out on having cocktail eyes, yeah. Research has shown that even having your phone out but not looking at it sends the message that you don't give a shit. Additionally, fubbing, looking at your phone instead of being present, now predicts the end of relationships. Yeah, I mean, listen, I've obviously not been perfect this way. I mean, I've kind of run a business on the phone to some degree so is it realistic to have lust passion and romance after being in a long-term relationship time passing should end all that stuff for most people uh i have lust passion and romance i've been married for 22 and a half years and i don't imagine that i mean, don't you want that isn't that fun isn't that great uh if you're not harassing your wife I don't know what you're doing, right? So you just have to, I mean, you have to keep yourself healthy and lust after the person and let them lust after you. And no, that's great. I mean, why wouldn't you want that? I mean, I get that there's like a real heady kind of honeymoon period at the beginning. I get that.
[1:04:40] But we are pair-bonded species, right? We are a pair-bonded species. So, I mean, the longer you do something with someone, the better you should get it, right? So, I mean, enough said, right? You guys don't need to know all these details. Thank you, JP. If AI continues to advance while our interpersonal relationships are deteriorating, will we get more isolation or have more cases like that 14-year-old? I find this topic fascinating. Well the distracted selfish people are now in competition with dedicated ai right so like distracted selfish people i mean i'm not i mean i'm checking these messages because it's a live stream and i'm answering questions and so on but i'm not checking my phone and empty dumb and picking my nose and well my ear and all that what's it massaging my vagus nerve so i relax, I get myself with a Vulcan neck pinch and collapse like knock-a-lepsy spark. But.
[1:05:43] AI is a great, a playground with which to practice one-on-one attention time. And I will, I will look into that case with the 14-year-old. I mean, I know that the company, I think the company has said, oh, we're putting in more safety features and so on. And it's just like, oh my God. Oh yeah. Everybody, everybody who comes to any harm means that everything has to change and end up harming others, right? All visible harms end up being mediated by invisible harms, right? Oh my God, the thalidomide caused 800 birth defects. Okay, let's ban all of this other stuff that costs 5 million lives. And this was back when I did a show with the woman from the FDA. Oh no, it's not from the FDA. The woman who was, the doctor who was critical of the FDA many years ago uh oh about five million this is back in the day like five million lives uh supposedly cast by banning stuff in america that was perfectly legal in europe beta blockers and stuff like that so rough man rough.
[1:06:58] All right going once going twice, don't forget of course you you can get uh calls, whoa whoa so you can get calls freedomand.com slash call you can uh call me we can do a call in show we can do a private call in if you want to keep it just for yourself and all of that so, we can do all of that freedomand.com slash call wait we need to see a nipple well you can just look down. You can just look down. Yeah, McDonald's put out a pretty classy statement based upon the Trump thing, right?
[1:07:45] Good night. Good night, Steve. I think we're still trying to do a call, right? So just keep me posted on that. Yeah, everyone can see a nipple. Just look down. It's the big pimply thing that feeds babies. By that logic, self-driving vehicles will be banned. Well, that's the thing, right? So a car crashes into someone that's self-driving. Oh my God, but then you're just turning back over to human error right this is how people being unable to think statistically and just reacting emotionally is oh my god the turkish boy drowned now europe can't have any border like you know anyway, uh i saw a movie wild robot which seems to be about the white man's burden, enough said when do you think that show about the entrepreneur will be out i don't have a shipping date stop pressuring me i don't know it'll it'll be out this week for sure, James right this week yeah I think but for subscribers we'll get it first of course as they usually do as they usually do, alright let's check over here.
[1:08:54] I'm 70 and for me it's more agape than eros these days agape, highest form of love charity yes no I get that I mean, I mean I'm pushing 60 and I'm not as sex crazed as I was when I was, 18 I get that, but still, and don't forget, of course, don't forget to go to fdurl.com slash TikTok and sign up, fdurl.com slash TikTok or tiktok.com forward slash atfreedomain.com. Yeah, B2B is good because B2B is more of a hidden market, right? Business to consumer is obvious and everyone's sort of aiming at that but and b2b is like a uh it's a dude fest right it's a sausage fest because the b2c business to consumer is often where the women want to be so so that could be helpful all right going once going twice comments questions issues challenges last kicks at the can i do not know i do not yeah i do not know the other concert t-shirt was invented i do know i was reading this um uh doc a biography of of the band led zeppelin and they were talking about how in the 70s it was all cash based and they're just massive amounts of of cash stuffed in garbage bags for the concerts and people were just grabbing it left right and center and it was all just crazy right.
[1:10:22] Uh, somebody says, I don't trust self-driving because of the spyware slash tracking integrations into its systems. Ford and the other automakers have patents for self-driving repossession. So if you miss a payment, the car drives itself back to the dealership. Yeah, I don't think it's going to be if you miss one payment, right? But, uh, I have no problem with a car going back to the dealership if you don't pay for it. I mean, that's enforcing property rights and contract. What's wrong with that? I mean if you don't pay for it you're kind of stealing it right so is it bad for the company to recover its property if you're stealing it I don't think so and what's wrong with the car driving itself back if you've stolen it come on man I mean what's, oh my gosh.
[1:11:12] Oh my gosh I mean I get the spyware and all of that but, In a free society, I'd want stuff that was stolen to return to its original owner, and the more automated the process, the better. I mean, maybe I'm missing something, but... Yeah, we can... Oh, yeah. Sorry, James, why don't you put out the entrepreneur call tomorrow for donors? Zeppelin were a big hit, and the critics hated them. They made a ton of money. Yeah, and Robert Plant just wrecked his voice, man. It's like when Freddie Mercury was singing Another One Bites the Dust, He loved the song so much. It was a, I think it was a John Deacon composition, who actually was referred to as Deacon John early on in the show, in the album sequence. But Freddie Mercury, and I think Robert Plant, but definitely Freddie Mercury developed these sort of vocal nodules, which are like rubbed raw vocals, and they can be pretty bad. And Freddie Mercury didn't want them operated on because he was terrified that they would wreck his voice because isn't that what happened to Julie Andrews? She got vocal notes operated on and couldn't sing afterwards.
[1:12:24] Oh, you drove one kilometer per hour over the speed limit, it drives you to the police. But that's, people won't buy that, right? People won't buy that.
