In this episode, we delve into a wide array of topics ranging from personal anecdotes to broader societal critiques, anchoring the discussion in humorous and thought-provoking commentary. I share my amusing experience at the barber, highlighting the quirks of modern grooming culture while touching upon deeper themes of control and choice. The conversation segues into reflections on celebrity culture and political integrity, examining the promises of celebrities who vowed to leave the country if certain political outcomes occurred, a sentiment that sparks a critical dialogue about accountability in public personas.
As I explore the implications of societal expectations, particularly regarding masculinity and femininity, I navigate the contentious landscape where traditional values clash with modern ideologies. The discussion includes references to the “burnt toast theory,” illustrating how perceived misfortunes can lead to serendipitous outcomes. This theory underscores the notion of finding positives in adverse situations, inviting listeners to re-evaluate their perspectives on life’s challenges.
Transitioning into more serious territory, we examine the political landscape and the role of celebrity influence roping in broader implications for governance and societal values. I articulate my stance against those who leverage their celebrity status for personal gain at the expense of integrity, advocating for a principled stand against such betrayal in the public sphere. The recurring theme of personal responsibility surfaces, as I challenge the narrative of externalizing blame while emphasizing self-discipline and its pivotal role in shaping societal outcomes.
The podcast further explores the dynamics between men and women, critiquing the cultural scripts that dictate behavior and expectations. The dialog tackles the misconceptions around masculinity, particularly how societal pressures can stifle authentic expression. I introduce the idea that both genders often misunderstand each other's motivations, particularly in the context of relationships and emotional expression, highlighting the nuances that complicate interactions between men and women.
As the conversation unfolds, I touch on historical references, philosophical underpinnings, and the implications of modern governance structures, all while maintaining an engaging and approachable style. The episode culminates in a call to examine our social fabric critically, challenging listeners to interrogate their beliefs and the systemic influences that shape them.
By the end of the episode, I hope to inspire a sense of agency in listeners, encouraging them to navigate the complexities of life with curiosity and a discerning eye, ever aware of how the interplay between individual choices and societal norms can shape our shared reality. The discussion invites audience engagement, urging listeners to reflect on their positions and perceptions in this multifaceted world.
[0:00] Well, good evening, everybody. Welcome to your 8th of November, 2024 show of shows. My dome is looking fresh.
[0:08] Yes, I love going to a barber who says, hey, hey, what would you like me to do with your do? And I'm like, I love the fact, I love the fact that you think that I have a choice. Like, do you think I have an option? I'm just like, shave it as close as it can go without me looking like I'm in chemo, and we'll just let it grow back from there. But I like it. But a short, like a number one buzz, square back and do a little bit of the shoulders. Hey, Stef, a few months ago, I sent you an email about the Bitcoin Film Fest happening in Warsaw. Never heard back. We'll be announcing the third edition after the weekend. Yes, sorry about that. I do get invites. I'm not really doing much travel at the moment except in my mind in the journey you know how they rebranded satanism as spirituality you know just find your inner guide man just meditate just go inside just you know follow your bliss just listen to the flesh it's like okay so it's just satanism but we wanted to rebrand it.
[1:17] All right um of course you just donated thank you so much you are um very very gratefully and deeply and humbly thanked for your support freedomend.com slash donate i have yeah him trim the ear his yeah you know it's an old joke like you know you're over 50 when it's like well you can't do much about the top, but perhaps if you could bushwhack the ears and nose, that would be fantastic.
[1:44] Now, you can get barbers to go into your ears. You cannot get barbers to bushwhack your nose. It's just not a thing. It's just not a thing. So they leap from here, they change their mind in their suicide pact, and just hang on to the ears and then clamber in and burrow.
[2:06] It's like that old song about, uh, I'm so tough. I live in the country. I'm so tough. I don't shave. I just hammer the bristles in and bite them off from the inside. That's right. Duke Nukem voice. All right. So, uh, I have a topic. I have a couple of topics, but it's your show. I hope you don't mind that I put down in words. So yeah, it's your show. if you want to talk about anything in particular, I am thrilled beyond measure to try to deliver. I am thrilled beyond measure. Why do you think the celebrities are not leaving to Canada yet? Because there are a bunch of fucking satanic puppet assholes who say what they want because they're controlled by hidden evildoers who move their limbs. God forbid, God forbid all the things that we wanted when we were younger, to be beautiful, to be talented, to be famous. God forbid we get any of that stuff because it comes at absolutely a demonic price, probably has for most of human history, sure as Sherlock does these days. So I personally, I've made a vow. I've made a vow. I mean, I make a bunch of vows, a good majority of which I keep, but this is my vow. If you said that you were going to fuck off out of the country if Trump won, I'm never buying anything from you again.
[3:33] Simple as that. Simple as that. If you said that you were going to fuck off out of the country because Trump won, I need you to do one thing, which is fuck off out of the country. That's all. Just fuck off out of the country.
[3:53] And I will not watch anything, listen to anything. If they're on the station, I'll ask to change it, even at the fucking dentist. I will have nothing to do with people who make these. Well, that's it. I'm leaving. If I don't get my way, I'm leaving. And then they stick around. Well, now we have to stay and fight. Yeah, fuck off. Oh, I hate people. I fucking hate people like that who come up with all this bullshit. About... How they're storming out. They're going to take a stand. No, okay, well, I didn't get what I want, so it's fine. It's like all of the people who said Trump is literally Hitler, and then they're like, well, you know, it's really important to have an orderly and peaceful transfer of power. It's so, it's so sad. It's so, so, so, so, so, so sad. James, can you hit me up with a list of, uh, Yeah, there was Bono who said he would drive off a cliff. I never saw that verified, so that could just be made up. Could just be made up. But yeah, if you could find a list of the celebrities, let's name and shame. It's name and shame. I don't think any of them said they were going to go to Gambia. Interesting that they just wanted to go to places generally whiter.
[5:19] The only place i can think of that's leaving that's better is a place even wider, oh yeah the my body my choice stuff well of course it's an old argument from this show but uh i'll believe my body my choice from women when they accept my wallet, my choice for men. When they don't vote to take away resources from men and the unborn, because women in general drive the national debt. And so when women in general stop voting to enslave men through the state, then I'll believe that they really believe in my body, my choice.
[6:09] Yeah so i call the people who say well the government shouldn't be involved in the doctor's office it's like yeah a mandated shit and you literally want government-run health care dear lord above it is embarrassing yeah why why are they not going to uh guatemala why are they not going to mexico why are they not going to uh oh you know what i hear it's pretty easy to get the Libya these days, since Obama and Hillary nuked Muammar Gaddafi and caused the eruption of open-air slave markets where you can buy an actual human being for about $400. Where are they going there? Where are they going?
[6:53] Oh, it's wild. So, have you heard of the burnt toast theory? Have you heard of this theory? It's a very interesting theory. I've actually used it in my life long before I even knew that it was a burnt toast theory. So, the burnt toast theory is quite interesting. What it says is, oh yeah, male circumcision is still legal. My body, my choice. how about you don't use demonic, satanic, witch-brew face cream made from these circumcised, mutilated foreskins of little Korean boys? Maybe. Just maybe. I'll believe my body, my choice when women stop circumcising their kids. And I know men do it too. I get it. But, you know, that's the thing. So the burnt toast theory goes something like this.
[7:46] You're trying to get somewhere you're hungry uh but your toast burns so then you have to redo it and you say well you know what maybe if i didn't redo my toast i would have been involved in a car crash that i've now missed or maybe you run into someone because you're a little bit late and you oh it's so great to see you exchange numbers you rekindle a friendship but you wouldn't have if you hadn't burned a toast it's a way of it's a little bit of gaslighting i get all of that but it's a way of.
[8:15] Finding the good in a negative situation. So I had to have a sister move my shoulder, I don't know, a couple of years ago. And I was like, okay, well, if I'm, so it's a bit of a drag, right? I remember trying to get out of the bath that I couldn't get out of the bath. It's too painful on my shoulder. I had to go pretty deep. And I remember thinking, well, you know, if it's going to happen, it's better that it happens in my fifties rather than my eighties. You know, if something's going to happen to you, like you need this, so whatever weird cyst thing dug out of your shoulder, then it's better that it happens in your 50s than in your 80s, because it's a lot easier to recover from shit in your 50s than it is in your 80s, right? So it's a way of turning things into a plus by looking at all of the things that are better off because of the change, right? Because you can look at the downsides of a change. And of course, now looking back on it, it was just a really interesting, I mean, I'm a quick healer, right? So to me, it was just a really interesting thing to go through, to have something dug out of my shoulder, have it sewn up. And it was just kind of an interesting experience to go through.
[9:27] So DC Drano on X wrote this, which I thought was interesting. If Trump won in 2020, he would have had a democratic house and senate. More impeachments, no senate confirmations, no bills passed, and possibly the end of the MAGA movement as an effective political force. But now, but now, he has the House, Senate, Supreme Court, a popular vote mandate, and an entire country that wants to clean up our elections, close our borders, deport illegals, and hold corrupt politicians accountable. Sometimes I think it had to happen this way. Now, I don't believe that everything works out as it should. I don't believe that the universe works in mysterious ways. But I do believe that your first, I wouldn't speak to you, I wouldn't speak for you. My first impressions of things being bad, are not always correct. I mean, I had this with the whole deplatforming. I love being deplatformed now. There was this woman on Facebook who was bragging about how she got me kicked off various platforms. I thanked her. Thank you, thank you, thank you for reorienting me back to what I do best, which is abstract, universal, eternal philosophy, rather than the flybys of the here and now.
[10:43] So try this as a whole, right? Try this as a whole, which is to say.
[10:52] What are the good things that you can get out of a negative situation? What are the good things you can get out of a negative situation? All right, huge list of celebrities. What do we have here?
[11:11] We've got Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, Kim Kardashian, Tom Hanks, Oprah, Brian Cranston, Hillary Clinton. Uh i think trait says he's coming i think andrew tate says he's coming back uh not going away uh alec baldwin uh whoopi goldberg john legend chrissy tegan rob reiner barbara streisand share nancy pelosi hillary clinton megan rapinoe uh that's the soccer star right tom hanks amy schumer alexandria ocasio cortez lady gaga taylor swift bill gates Jane Fonda, Madonna, Mark Ruffalo, Kim Kardashian, Bruce Springsteen, George Clooney, Hunter Biden, Oprah, Robert De Niro, Samuel L. Jackson, Miley Cyrus, Travis Kelche, repeat, sorry, Bobby Althoff, Rashida Talala, Rashida Talala, you can't say that name out loud and pronounce it correctly, otherwise your furniture starts floating, Stormy Daniels on the Sticky Express, Anthony Fauci, George Soros, Diddy, Eminem, Ellen DeGeneres, Sean Penn, Sharon Stone, Ashley Judd, Tommy Lee, Brian Cranston, Billy Joe Armstrong and Bodo.
[12:21] So probably true could be true not certain, but yeah don't give them a penny if they're there turn them off don't give them a penny don't see any of their movies don't listen to their music just treat them as un-persons.
[12:48] Yeah, I mean, I remember, and I remember being late for work once. I used to bike all over Toronto, like I'd bike for hours all over Toronto, because I didn't, I was broke, right? I was a student, so I didn't have a car, obviously, and sometimes I didn't even want to spend money on the bus. And so I would just bike, bike everywhere. And I was late getting to work one day i used to live downtown and i uh i had about a 20 minute bike ride to work and i was late and um so because i was late i got stuck at a light and when i was stuck at the light a hell of a speeder went screaming through the light and you know i could have been in that right he just didn't even put just and uh he's like perpendicular right so if i'd have been in that, right?
[13:37] I might have been hit by him, right? So, it's, uh, always look for the pluses. Always look for the pluses. Some said it in 2016 or 2020. Yeah, I mean, that's fine. That's fine. It's not like Trump's had his reputation rehabilitated since 2016 or 2020. So they call him even worse names now, right? Now it's convicted felon, accused or convicted of sexual assault.
[14:13] So if they said it in 2016 or 2020, money, they should be even more behind it now than they were back then. If RFK can fix healthcare and food in the USA, I might now have a place to move away to from Kanakistan, if I must. What compels a woman to film a TikTok of herself crying to the audio of a man saying a joke? So, the one thing you can always be guaranteed of, and I'm not talking about all women, but, you know, these sort of narcissistic, attention-seeking women on social media, the one thing you can be absolutely certain, 150 percent.
[14:52] Is that the men that the women are complaining about are without any form of doubt, those men are by far the safest and most respectful of women on the planet. Guaranteed. Right? So, during the immigrant rape scandals in England, women weren't on there crying about this kind of stuff, for the most part, at least not in this. So, what are they? They're crying about white men and how dangerous are white men to women compared to, I don't know, a bunch of other cultures and stuff. Well, you know, you could argue kind of a bit less, right?
[15:25] And, uh, they, they won't talk about the burqa. They'll only talk about this made up at maiden's tale, weird fetish bullshit, right? Uh, oh yes, yes, yes, of course. If you look across the world, look around the world, it's the women in the Christian founded countries in the West that are absolutely the worst treated. You got, I mean, just objectively, you can't argue with facts. So you absolutely know for sure that women are not complaining about black crime rates or immigrant crime rates or anything like that. You know, some of which are a little higher. No, they're only complaining about white males because the white males are the nicest. It's very unfortunate. And please don't take this as representative of all women, of course, right? But it's very unfortunate because what they're doing is they're programming men to say, oh, yeah, that's right. We did try that whole being nice to women and, you know, giving them rights and privileges and worshipping them. And we tried the whole being a gentleman thing. We tried the chivalry thing. And look what happened, right? It was viewed as a weakness by which women could gain attention by putting down those who treat them the best. It's very sad. It's very sad, but it appears to be somewhat irresistible for some women, right? Trump has said he will declassify the Diddy Tapes and Epstein list.
[16:55] Yeah, I don't, uh, I don't understand that. I don't, I don't, I don't understand that. So the Epstein, see Epstein had recording equipment, right? In, in his various locations. And there were all these CDs and then they just vanished, right? So, uh, I, I want Trump to find out what happened to the videos. I don't want to list.
[17:26] I don't want a list, list is plausible deniability the videos that's what counts all right, new dragon's age game is tanking pretty hard uh yeah yeah it's um it's not all zoe quinn's fault, but no it's uh it's not it's not a dud it's not it's not the game that the developers wanted to make it's not it's just a game that they were uh in a sense forced to make because i talked about this recently but a competitor uh riot games i think they make valorant and stuff like that they were hit with a hundred million dollar uh fine uh over lack of inclusivity sexism misogyny right and so yeah so they just they had to compromise and it's really really sad.
[18:24] All right. You know, tip at a staff bot. Why? Why? You know, tip at a staff bot. I'm sure you've just briefly forgotten. So, yes, you can tip at freedomman.com slash donate. Or, of course, you can tip on the app, Rumble and locals and so on, which I appreciate. All right. Sorry, I missed a couple of cues over in Rumble. Why do bald men pay the same price at the barbers is men with full heads of hair. Uh, I would assume because, uh, it's, you're balding, what percentage they don't want to get to argues. Well, I'm 50% bald, so I should only pay 50% price, right? They're going to bring, can't bring out tape measures and so on. And of course, a lot of men are in denial, so they don't want to pay less for having less hair. So, all right. But it's, it's one of these, these questions economists have, which is why is popcorn so expensive at movie theaters right and it's some balance of uh if they didn't have popcorn as expensive they'd have to raise the price of the tickets more and some people have just eaten so they don't want snacks and that's all but i don't know why they don't just go and ask the people who run um and run the movie theaters and ask them but anyway all right.
[19:47] Well yeah the republican party is not conserving much without a doubt but is that really the fault of the republican party i would argue that it's the fault of the people who still patronize the legacy media it's the fault of the people who still patronize the legacy media so and a lot of those are boomer Republicans, right?
[20:20] All right, did I miss any questions here? Let me just see if I've got any. What are your thoughts on J.D. Vance? I don't trust him at all. I mean, very even-tempered, very skilled, very good debater, obviously very well-trained in law, and so on. So, I don't trust him at all. I mean, I hope we're a little bit beyond this, but in general, I'm not sure why you would trust public figures. I mean, he is a politician and there's things that he's going to be able to do. And then there's things that he's not going to be able to do. Uh, do I think that he wants what's best for America? Yes. Will he have to make a whole bunch of compromises in order to achieve 10% of what he wants? Yes. And so I'm not a, I'm not good at compromise, and I don't say this in any condescending or negative way. I don't say this to, oh, well, I'm just no good at being corrupt like others. I don't mean it in that way at all. I genuinely suck at those kinds of compromises. You know, politics is the art of the possible, and you do what you can within the framework that you have. And there are people who are really good at that.
[21:44] And they know how to work the system. They are willing to get what they want and give up what they can't get, and they're willing to meet people halfway, who, in my view, are stone evil.
[21:56] But Rob Reiner said he'd set himself on fire. Really? That seems quite dangerous to have a grease fire like that. That doesn't seem right. Don't throw water on Rob Reiner if he set himself on fire, because you don't throw water on a grease fire, right?
[22:14] All right, more celebs. Cody Runnels, who the hell is that? Keith Olbermann, well, I think he left reality a while ago. LeBron James, J-Lo, well, she might have to leave. Ben Stiller, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Stephen King, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Kevin Spacey, Rosie O'Donnell. Yeah. Have you thought about micropigmentation for baldness? It completely changed my look. Only maintenance is shaving with electric shaver every three days. Give the illusion of a hairline. And listen, I, you're a younger man, I'm happily married, and my wife loves my look. And, you know, I once said, oh, they have a cure for baldness. She's like, not for you, they don't, because I love you just the way you look. So I don't care, don't want it. And I'm not saying it's anything bad. It just seems like a lot of pain and weirdness to go through. Just embrace the dome. Embrace the dome. And what you do is you say, baldness means I'm going to exercise better, right? So for me, losing my hair when I was young meant that I couldn't really get overweight. I had to keep working out. And I, you know, so it ended up being a big plus for my health as a whole. So honestly, I can't tell you how little I care about being bald. I just can't tell you how little I care about being bald.
[23:42] So, all right. So, yeah, so compromise. So some people are like, well, politics is the art of the possible. I have to negotiate with people who are corrupt and evil to the core, and I have to give and I have to get. And some people are good at that. And honestly, it's a necessary skill. I'm not putting it down at all, but I'm not good at it. And I'm really, well, if I was any good at compromise, I'd still have my old platform. If I was any, I'm just not. I'm just not. Again, and I don't mean to say like I'm some platonic purist and everybody else is so corrupt. I just suck at it. It's the same thing. Like, I remember this in the business world, you know, everybody was always saying, hey, man, you got to learn how to network.
[24:22] You know, you got to learn how to network. And I'm like, but I have a, I want to keep my soul. And there are some people who you know hey we get together we got some lunch we got some really great things we could do together you know we gotta we share a vision let's really take this thing to the moon let's be a power duo you know whatever like they're just hey you know schmoozy fun stuff you know thump the uh music box and make it work and i was just never any good at that Because for me, and again, it's a necessary skill, it helps a lot of people, but I'm just, I'm terrible at schmoozing and I'm terrible at compromise. I mean, I'll compromise in my personal life with sort of give and take of relationships, but as far as sort of basic principles go, I just can't do it.
[25:10] I just, well, the other thing, yeah, if Trump had been allowed to serve in 2020, his son could never have voted for his dad. Well, you know, Barron's understanding of youthful social media made a big difference in the Trump campaign. And he would have been too young, I think, back then to have that level of credibility. Trump is like regularly saying, run it past Barron, run it past Barron. Barron knows what's going on. Barron knows the facts, right?
[25:42] Canada has conservatives, yeah? So, for me, I would look at the Democrats, like if I was in the political realm and had to work with the Democrats, I'd say, you all wanted to take people's children away if the parents wouldn't vaccinate them against COVID. Now, you say, but it was only 25%. It's like, yes, but you're still in the party where that was a big thing. Half of them wanted people, like, sanctioned, fined, or arrested for criticizing the vaccines or the lockdowns, right? They wanted people through half of them or wanted people thrown in camps for not taking the vaccine, i couldn't work with people like that and again i know politics is the art of the possible and i'm not you know trying to be above it all in superior because i guess some people have to do it i just can't i just can't i just couldn't that's why i couldn't.
[26:54] Have a democrat in my life because we're like i mean again it wasn't like there were no republicans but the number of republicans who wanted to do it was far lower it's like the free speech issue right the number of republicans who wanted people thrown in camps and their children take away was far lower than the democrats and you say well i i didn't believe that it's like yeah but that was, there's a lot of people in the democrat party who do believe that and you're associated with them, you know if if there's splash damage from oh you talked to so-and-so once and so-and-so's a bad guy you had so-and-so on your show and so-and-so's about if there's splash damage from just flybys or passbys or handshakes or associations then the goddamn well is, black acid to the soul splash damage from being part of a group that wants to pull that kind of shit in society can't do it can't do it can't do it can't like when it came to um schmoozing like networking yeah you do right i just couldn't do it because to me i couldn't i couldn't i can't just use people as props for money and career.
[28:10] Mark Hamill was a big Kamala supporter, even went on a Twitch stream with Pokimane while she had on Bernie Sanders. That dude is such a slimeball. Well, he did take serious blows to the head between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back, right? That's why they had him, his face lacerated because he was an absolutely terrible car crash. So there may not be much Mark Hamill left it might be mark hamill with a bowl of soup for former brains i love all of the people who were like you know we we just needed joe rogan for we needed joe rogan for the left you know we needed joe rogan who could speak to the left it's like joe was a bernie sanders bro bro like you know elon we need an elon musk for the left it's like these guys started on the left.
[29:05] It's just wild it's just wild Dems are just too intolerant these days they used to be the opposite, it's really weird no, it's not weird, it's not weird it's not weird at all, in my view it's not weird at all, I mean, it's a demonic offer, the devil comes along and says, I'll free you from all restraints, I'll free you from all rules, and you can do what you want and pursue what you want, and you don't need to have any self-discipline and you can just indulge, you can be a hedonist, right, and then you've got to sign on the dotted line and you got to give me a soul right right so so the reason you have no rules, is because a very strictly enforced rule at the end where you have to give your soul so the devil's like yeah yeah go go nuts man go have fun here's money fame looks beauty glory whatever ah you know talent yeah yeah go nuts you don't have any rules but the only reason you don't have any rule is you have one rule at the end, which is you've got to give up your soul. And if you're not willing to give up your soul, the devil doesn't liberate you from rules, right? And so the reason why this is such a powerful story is because it's what the government does, right? The government says.
[30:18] Oh, yeah, then there aren't going to be any consequences for your bad behavior. You get pregnant, you can fake an injury, you can do whatever you want, and we'll take care of you and we'll give you welfare and we'll give you free health care and we'll give you disability and all this kind of stuff, right?
[30:43] And you are freed of all rules. And how are you freed of all rules? Well, you sell your soul. You sell your liberties. You sell your freedoms. You sell your... You sell the next generation or two to foreign banksters, and then you end up with a kind of tyranny, right? The liberation of rules leads to the imposition of stricter rules. This is a fundamental thing in life, right? So if you say, well, I don't really want to go and work out every day, well, then maybe you get diabetes, and now you have to inject yourself every day, right? So, going to the gym was optional. Injecting yourself is not. If you say, well, I don't really care what my weight is, and I'm not going to exercise, okay, then you need knee replacements when you get older.
[31:31] And that's not optional. Oh, I'm just going to sleep around at a raw target. I'm not going to use any birth control. Well, okay, well, then you're now on the hook for 18 years of endless money in the baby jail.
[31:50] I mean, rules are always pay me now or pay me later. I mean, when I was working my ass off as a teenager, two jobs, three jobs sometimes. And when I worked my ass off when I was in school and right, there were lots of people who had a lot of fun and they didn't achieve much success. And I've done all right. I've done all right. So, you know, you kind of hate it at the time, right? Kind of hate it at the time. You know manual labor i wasn't a huge fan of drilling up north and gold panning and hiking and and blazing trails i wasn't a huge fan of all that kind of stuff but man did it ground me in reality as opposed to my mother's crazy ass mysticism right and the mysticism and collectivism in schools it's all pay me now or pay me later it's more fun to spend money than to save money, Oh, look, I have all this freedom to spend money in my 20s. And then you don't have any savings. And then you don't have the freedom to pursue your dreams in your 30s. Not complicated, right? Hey, look at me. I went to Cabos and Lucas. I went to Turks and Caicos. I had a great time. And now I'm 35 and I can't quit my job because I'm in debt and I can't pursue my dreams. No self-discipline early means inflicted discipline later.
[33:17] You could have saved your money now you can't start your own business.
[33:28] So what do you think about Australia banning 16 and under from social media? I see the benefits or is it tyranny?
[33:40] Well, no, I assume that Australia wants to stem the young male's drift towards conservative or right-wing values, right?
[34:00] So, Australia banning, do they ban them from the internet? Do they ban them from pornography sites? Do they require uploads of ID for pornography sites? Or is it just social media? So, I assume that they want young, impressionable minds to be controlled by the media and by the schools in particular, and not have any counter-narratives, right? So no and it's social media i mean it's like sugar you just you have to learn how to do it responsibly and that's something you don't get just by banning it you have to learn to moderate your relationship with whatever your weakness is i have a bit of a weakness for sugar so don't work out just eat less it's all about calories in and out, oh yeah because skinny anemic and with a low muscle mass and brittle bones that's what i call health no screw you of course we work out of course we work out.
[35:04] Yeah of course you work out because it's not just about calories working out is just have some muscle have some confidence in the world know that you can handle things in an emergency. That's what working out is about. It's just feeling strong and having that mindset in the world that you're not on this tottering house of cards of a frail anemic pencil armed body that people are just going to push you around because you don't obviously have the self-discipline to pursue any particular form of exercise. Now, now please do waits. Do waits or forever be alienated from yourself. Somebody says, I'm an Australian. The majority is pissed about the ban. It also coincides with the misinformation bill. The ban is actually to force enrollment of a digital ID so they can control this. Yeah, for sure. For sure. For sure. It's hard. I rarely doom scroll, but if I was a teenager, I could see being an addict.
[35:59] So they wanted a V-chip in TVs back in the 90s, I think it was. So all of this semi-totalitarian or openly totalitarian bullshit is just all arises from a lack of fathers in the home. Like for whatever reason, for whatever reason, and I'm not saying it's right or fair, but it is a fact. For whatever reason, moms cannot inflict rules, especially on sons. And it's got to be really frustrating for moms. And I get that. But it just is a fact. You need a dad to have rules. Now, mom can do this stuff when the babies are toddlers, babies toddlers, and so on. But starting around the age of seven or eight, boys in particular view female authority as emasculating sorcery to be fought to the bitter death. I don't think it's just me. I don't think it's just me.
[36:58] But men have a kind of quiet authority that works with children and in particular with sons and women often just get kind of shrill, exasperated, tense, frustrated, angry. I've had like three calls this week with women about this. So all of this, like, how do we impose rules? Well, you have fathers in the home and men and women both contribute wonderfully to the family. So this is not a better or worse scenario, but you have fathers in the home. And if you don't have fathers in the home, boys don't respect rules that come from the mother. And like we can say right or wrong, it's a fact. I mean, tell me I'm wrong. I listened to male authority. I resisted bitterly and half to the death. Female authority. I just did. Because female authority, my experience, my experience, I'm not saying this is objective, right? I'm just telling you my experience. Maybe you've had similar things. I viewed male authority as adherence to objective standards. I viewed female, quote, authority as bullying because the woman was upset.
[38:16] So for the men, it was like, you know, we kind of got to get this place organized because it's kind of tough to find stuff. And you kind of work that way out.
[38:22] It's like, you kids are driving me crazy. I can't find anything. Like men, boys, masculines, we don't respond to that. It's gross. Ew. No, thank you. I'm not here to manage your hysteria.
[38:38] Men I viewed as bringing me impersonal reports of objective rules that were good for themselves and society, right? You kids are driving me crazy as opposed to, hey, this is kind of loud. I'm trying to get some work done, you know.
[38:53] Men simply inform you of objective rules. Women take everything personally not all women right a lot of women take everything personally and you have to not upset them and men sorry like like it or not we'll fight it we'll fight it we'll fight it like hell and i remember my my mother and i've said this before right i'm aware of that but i remember my mother with my brother when we would visit my my um my relatives on my father's side we'd visit my aunt and uncle and it drove my mother crazy because my uncle or our uncle i said would say to my brother i remember distinctly and this bothered my mom for like i don't know 10 years afterwards right but my uh uncle said uh oh name you uh you left the toothpaste uh cap off the tube and my brother ran up the stairs to fix it right and this drove my mother crazy why when i ask you to do things you flew up the stairs when he asked you to do things i asked you to do things and you just roll your eyes ah right it bothered my mom probably for 12 years i mean probably still bothers her for all i know they that chick can uh hold a grudge till it uh nurse a grudge till it grows a beard so you know like with with men we're often debating and arguing and so on but we don't sit there and say.
[40:22] I'm talking here, I'm talking, I'm talking, I'm talking, right? That's, you know, there's just kind of a hurly-burly in male discussions and you have to raise your voice and sometimes, and sometimes you have to be a little sharp, but it's just, I don't know. I'm not saying it's right. I'm not saying it's sane. I'm not saying it's moral, but when men raise their voices, it tends to be somewhat intimidating and there's authority there. When women raise their voices, it tends to be kind of shrill and tense. And I'm not saying it's fair. I'm not saying it's, I'm not saying it's right. I'm just saying what it is.
[41:01] Men are delivering rules like they're delivering male. Women want you to not upset them and to make them feel better, which men will resist. And look, I think women resist this too, to some degree. Dead on, thanks for explaining the things I feel, but cannot explain.
[41:24] Men is like, don't shoot the messenger. These are the facts. Women are like, I'm going to shoot anybody who upsets the messenger. In other words, and this is not all women, of course, right? I'm just talking about somewhat of a trend. I was expected to change my behavior because a woman was upset. Right? This is the tone policing. It's not what you say. It's how you say it.
[41:47] And everybody's turning into these little walking sideswept hair, blonde-dyed Karen HR department managers who are finger-wagging society into the abyss.
[41:58] But I don't see why I should change my behavior. because someone else is upset. Because men are wired to change their behavior in many ways in order to upset people, because this is the different thing, right? I mean, if you're, and again, there's lots of women who are athletes and competitive, I'm just talking about a general trend here. So if you're a man, the value you bring as a man is largely dependent upon pissing off other people, right? So if you get the cheerleader, all the other guys are mad at you, right? If you win the running race, all of the other athletes are mad at you. If you're the first one chosen in the softball game, the people who were chosen last are mad at you, right?
[42:55] So men, we know that if we change our behavior to appease people who are upset, we're completely and totally evolutionarily fucked as men. Because we want to be the one who wins the fight. We want to be the one who wins the fist fight. We certainly want to be the ones who win the sword fight. We want to be the ones who are the best hunters because the best hunters have the highest prestige. We want to be the ones who are taller. We are the ones who want to win every competition we can get our hands on. Victory for a man means pissing people off. So the idea that we would limit our potential or limit our self-expression or limit what we're doing because other people are annoyed is absolutely anathema to men. We cannot do it. We won't do it.
[43:53] The fact that other people are upset is the mark of victory. I mean, am I wrong? Tell me if I've gone too far or I'm astray, you know, this is a communal conversation. But when I was dating the second hottest girl in school, all my friends were pissed off.
[44:26] And that's part of how I guided myself. So you've seen these, you know, Trump conducting this orchestra of like screeching liberals and so on and this you know like uh i i i drink the tears of my enemies you know the salt i love i need more salt a posture like these are all guys after the election post your best hysterical liberal democrat reaction blah blah blah it's because that's how we know we've won and i know it's a little incomprehensible to women i get that i I mean, it's okay. Women are delightfully incomprehensible to men as well. But the idea that we would change our behavior to not upset people goes against every conceivable grain of masculinity that exists. I mean, if you're in a punching match with some guy, you want him to go down. You want him to go crying to his mother. You want to fucking win. If you're in a sword fight, right? This is the great line from Patton, right? The point of war is not to die for your country, but to make the other poor son of a bitch die for his country. This is why all of this self-sacrifice and shit like that is just wild.
[45:46] So, I mean, this is one of the fundamental things that men and women don't understand about each other. And we can get into why women are more conformist and so on, but women need the approval of the community because women are not in competition with members of those community. Because remember, the whole dating marriage thing was supposed to be six months, maybe 12 months max, right? And then you got another 70, 60, 70 years. So women succeed by cooperating with each other.
[46:12] You got to watch their kids. They got to watch your kids. You've got to cooperate and go out and help each other with the livestock and the gathering and right the cooking you all got to participate and help so it's all about cooperation which is fantastic but men it's all win-lose women is win-win so if people are really upset with you as a woman and they won't watch your kids they won't help you cook right they won't invite you to their canning and jamming parties well you're kind of fucked because you might not have enough food for the winter. Like, it's bad. It's bad.
[46:48] So, the disapproval of the group for women is bad, and that's entirely right and healthy and good and right and positive. But the disapproval of your competitors for men is delicious. And this is why the women are crying on social media, some women, right, about the Trump thing. Because they're trying to create the impression that women are upset, women are disapproving, you've got this, like, it comes out of South Korea in 2019, this like, we're not going to have sex with men. We're not going to date men. We're not going to have men's children. And this disapproval from women works with women, but it doesn't work with men. And this is why people don't understand the election cycle. And they don't understand Hillary and Trump. They don't understand Kamala and Trump. They just don't understand. They don't understand why I use first names and last names, probably misogyny, right? So they don't understand. Well, we're showing you intense disapproval. And that works on women. But it does the opposite for men. We enjoy disapproval.
[47:54] Yeah, take themselves out of the gene pool and so on, right? And they jab at the head. Oh, oh, oh. No sex for you. Oh, oh, oh. Like, you know, between him and an on-fire Rob Reiner, between the average feminist and an on-fire Rob Reiner, I don't know. It's a tough call, man.
[48:17] Well, and of course, it's going to be very tough for these women because if the first thing that they can think of doing is not have sex with men, well, that solves the abortion issue. It solves STD issues. It solves all of that. And if they choose not to have kids at all, then it solves the aspects of their personality that are genetic that gets out of that. So that's good. That's a plus. But if the first thing they can think of in terms of affecting society is to stop having sex with men, then what they're saying is, well, I can't debate, I can't reason, I have no facts, I have no evidence, and so I'm going to manipulate you with no sex. But then what's going to happen is their personalities are going to crater, because they use sex in order to get attention. They use sex in order to get resources. They use sex in order to get dates and male attention. And if they don't have good arguments, they don't have good reasoning, they're not well-read, they're not virtuous, and then they stop offering sex, honestly, I mean, they're addicted to sexual display and sexual offers because that gets them attention without them having to really work at it, right?
[49:41] So that is why, you know, the triggered woman with the glasses, you know, the triggered woman or the screaming woman with the hat or whatever after Trump won in 2016.
[49:58] The men find it funny and somewhat enjoyable and the women find it horrible and needs to be fixed. Right? And it is incomprehensible as a whole for people this difference this is one of the biggest gaps between men and women is we men enjoy and and find it great for our enemies to suffer right.
[50:48] Right? Conan, what is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women. It's a Genghis Khan thing, right? One day in the pavilion at Karakoram, he asked an officer of the Mongol Guard what, in all the world, could bring the great greatest happiness. The officer said, The open step, a clear day, and a swift horse under you, and a falcon on your wrist to start up hairs. Nay, responded the Khan, to crush your enemies, to see them fall at your feet, to take their horses and goods and hear the lamentation of their women. That is best.
[51:56] So, that speaks to men, right? That speaks to men. To crush your enemies, to see them fall at your feet. That's causing other people suffering to take their horses and goods and hear the lamentation of their women. Their women are crying, and that means you've won. And that is almost incomprehensible for women. It's in our blood. And of course, I'm not saying that this is good, moral. I'm just saying this is our evolution. Does that make sense? Somebody sent me two bucks and say thank you for your work get back to twitter, i might need knee replacements because of all the exercise uh well it certainly can happen but in general walking i think is pretty good for your knees it regenerates the cartilage and so on right all right i was always the last one chosen on the team it didn't bother me i just it just drove me more to prove myself. Okay, that's just a lie.
[53:10] Of course it bothered you. That's why you wanted to prove yourself. Of course it bothered you. Oh, God. Why do people think that not being bothered by stuff is somehow superior? Thank you, Dan. Like, why do people think that, well, it never bothered me. It's like, that's not healthy, man. Of course it should bother you. Of course it should bother you. That's like saying, well, you know, I stepped on a nail stigmata style, went all the way through my feet, but it didn't bother me. It's like, bro, that's really not good. It's not good that it didn't bother you, because that means something's seriously wrong with your nerve endings. So. Yeah, I don't know this. I was always the last one chosen. It didn't bother me. It's like, that's not healthy. Of course it should bother you. I hear it from women a lot, this unbothered stuff. Yeah. Forgot the time zone. Greetings from Chicago. That toddling town. Nice job at the EU Parliament. Thanks. That's a while ago, but it was good, right? Tough guy voice, because generals in the past had to yell a lot, and it destroyed their voice.
[54:32] All right.
[54:47] All right. Sorry, I'm getting into the alternative Genghis Khan quotes, which was not something I thought I'd be doing tonight. But here we are. Yeah, it is. The fact that men are unbothered by upsetting people is kind of incomprehensible to women. And the fact that women are so bothered by other people being upset is incomprehensible to men.
[55:24] And I don't think we should try to comprehend it, because if I comprehend how susceptible women are to peer pressure, I'm going to get man tits. Well, bigger man tits. Moobs! I think it's something we observe, but we don't penetrate. We don't go all the way in. Are you a Christian yet? Hey, I'm an empiricist. When the facts and the reason present themselves, I go, anyway the wind blows. Turn your austrian accent up to 11 well it's not really an austrian accent, it's austrian plus weed plus steroids plus uh necks neck pressing on throat plus playing a tough guy for 40 years and then cocking screw your freedom right what an absolutely pathetic thing to do what a sad thank you chris what a sad pitiful pathetic thing to do i don't know why people, I mean, just shut up. Although it's really great that celebrities are telling them, are telling us what they actually think so that we can stop thinking about them as having anything other than, you know, prettiness and some talents, right?
[56:50] Uh but yeah i mean so i mean i generally view this tone policing and so on as an attempt to turn, men into women so that and i the way that you completely fuck up the birth rate is you tell women that who they are is good and nice and wonderful and men are bad and rude and smelly and uncaring and unthinking. And they just, you know, all of that, right? So you tell women, we tell them when they're girls, that boys are just broken girls. Like if the boys were just like girls, everything would be great. The girls are nice. They sit well. They don't fight. They don't rebel. They don't need ADHD meds. They're not twitchy. They're not aggressive. And so girls are great. And of course, if you're just in this institutional pecking party, chicken farm of silence and stillness and compliance, then yeah, girls find it a lot easier to just sit there for eight hours a day and be droned at, and boys don't, right? So what you do is you tell women that, or you tell girls, that femininity is wonderful, right? It's a literal phenomenon in psychology. The women are wonderful, the war, war phenomenon. Women are wonderful, the standard of virtue and excellence is the female, right?
[58:11] And boys are loud and stinky and noisy and immature and rebellious and disruptive and right. So you say to girls, you are the sinh kwa na, you are the ideal, the platonic perfection of the human soul. And anything that deviates from femininity is the bad. And then what happens is women just constantly try to mold men into women. You got to be more sensitive. Why didn't you ask Gary about his divorce? You were out there on the golf course for like three hours. Why did you guys talk about anything real? You just discussed politics and the economy? Like, what's the matter with you? Like, why don't you remember these things? Why don't you remember, you know, the name of your daughter's teacher or her pediatrician? Why did you remember these things? If you really cared, you'd remember these things. Like, why do you forget this? Why do you forget that? It's like you don't even care. Like just drone, drone, drone, right? Women have a great bear trap minds for these things. And it's absolutely essential for the functioning of a household.
[59:11] So what you do is you tell women as girls that femininity is wonderful and masculinity is bad. And then they're on this rescue mission to fix men. But men hate being fixed because we're not broken. We're not broken. Women are not broken and men are not broken. We're just turned against each other. It's a satanic deal, right? Right? Propaganda influences women. Women influence men. Satan tells Eve to eat the apple. Eve makes Adam take the apple, because what man can resist anything a woman offers him when she's got no clothes on? So then what happens is this grim battle ensues, where the women are trying to turn men into women, and either, either, either, the woman fails, in which case she's incredibly frustrated and views the man as resistant and bad and so on, and she's unhappy, or she's even more unhappy if she succeeds.
[1:00:19] If she succeeds in turning the man into a woman, she gets a deep ick because she's not a lesbian, and she loses respect for him, and she goes and has an affair with a guy with stubble and a motorcycle jacket.
[1:00:39] And I mean this this goes all the way back to my 20s right, why are you talking to your friend like that you didn't ask him anything about like he just got married a year ago you didn't ask him how he's doing and I was like but I'm a guy like don't I'll tell you here's here's the deal honey here's the deal I won't tell you how to run your female relationships right I won't tell you how to run your female relationships but you sure as shit aren't going to tell me how to run my male relationships, right? I mean, when you talk to your friends, you don't hear me say, well, why don't you guys talk about anything other than feelings and gossip and who said this and she's all that? Like, why don't you ever talk about philosophy or abstractions or economy or politics? Like, I don't, hey, you have your female friendships and that's fine. I have no complaint with it. Men and women are different. I'm not going to tell you and tell you that you're wrong for what you talk about with your female friends. And you, guess what, are not going to tell me that I'm wrong about how I talk to my male friends.
[1:01:47] So, we don't worship a God anymore. We worship kindergarten morality. You know, like, what is it? I saw a sign outside of school not too long ago. You've heard this before. Like, you can be anything you want to be in this world, so be nice. If you can do anything if you can be anything you want to be in this world be kind, nice kind accommodating appeasing sweet delicate thoughtful encouraging supportive.
[1:02:32] You know they're not going to really aggressive places and saying that right, just be nice be nice be kind be thoughtful be considerate, be female be female, so rather than vive la différence right celebrate the difference between men and women you tell women that if men were just like women everything would be great, and god forbid you fall there's a whole sigh up right it's a total sigh up It's a total psyop. I remember being at a village fair many years ago when my daughter was very little and this creepy old guy comes racing up wanting to give my daughter a wristband for girl power and you can do anything. I'm like, whoa, back off, back off, buddy. No, don't bring that shit here. Do not bring that stuff here. Because if you say, you can do anything, you're empowered. It's like, she's not coming from a state of powerlessness. She's not thinking there's things she can't do.
[1:03:44] And the be nice thing is, I mean if women if women really liked nice guys A. there wouldn't be as many single moms B. Fifty Shades of Grey would have been revealed as a revolting semi-pedophilic bible that it is in my view just wouldn't be like that, I get so yeah I mean the propagandists I don't in particular blame the propagandists I just blame the parents and I blame the kids when they grow up right of course I mean if you can get what you want from people just by propagandizing them.
[1:04:32] I mean, I haven't seen a lot of, you know, if you've got really aggressive, say, from the Middle East, you've got really aggressive protesters that, you know, can be quite violent or the Black Lives Matter protests in the summer of love 2020, right? Like, if I didn't see a lot of women out there lecturing people to be nice, it's only when they've got little boys in the fucking classroom that they put this poison down their spines. Right they don't go out where it's actually dangerous and people are being violent saying it's really important to be nice guys just be nice put down the molotov cocktail release the kids from chas like just go like they don't do any of that stuff they only lecture people, who are already interested and kind of broken and and want to be nice right, i mean it's the job of the parents to make sure that the kids are not you know, half slaughtered by propaganda, right?
[1:05:29] Right?
[1:05:35] Right? I mean, the more aggressive religions, they're not women out there. It's really important to be nice. You've got to be nice, be sweet, be thoughtful, you know? And, you know, I don't, I really, I mean, This is why I constantly put in these caveats, because I don't want people to go, oh, well, it's the moment you're nice to women, these terrible things happen. It's like, no, because there's lots of women who appreciate it and respect it and like it and all of that, right? But yeah, we worship kindergarten fucking, we worship kindergarten posters. We don't worship morality. We don't worship strength.
[1:06:18] I mean, even after the example of Chamberlain at Munich, just be nice, be accommodating, be thoughtful, be supportive. You don't support me. You're not supportive. So when you tell girls that femininity is great and masculinity is toxic, you turn them into nags and it kills the birth rate. Men don't want to be turned into women. And then at the same time, you try and turn women into men by having all of these action stars who weigh 90 pounds tossing guys around like bowling pins who are 200 pounds of pure muscle. So you just try and turn men into women, you try and turn women into men, nobody can celebrate and enjoy the difference and the birth rate plummets. It's a fantastic form of warfare. I mean, what warfare is there that has you manufacture and turn the weapon on yourself? It's amazing, right?
[1:07:19] It's in the original Conan, right? Thulsa Doom. Can't believe I remember that. But Conan's got this big sword and smacks people up. And Thulsa Doom just gestures someone off a cliff. That's the power. The power is in the words. The power isn't in the sword. Pen of the sword, right? Pen of the sword. And of course, once you had weapons of mass destruction, you had to shift to propaganda, right? And propaganda is a form of weeding out, right? The people who are most susceptible to propaganda generally have the lowest birth rates. So it is sadly in the long run kind of a self-correcting problem because all the people who are susceptible the most to propaganda, tend to have the lowest birth rates and those the least susceptible to propaganda tend to have the highest. birth rates.
[1:08:21] Yeah, so a lot of women will want men to be super nice and thoughtful and sensitive and caring and supportive and not upset people. And then they also want the man to be a high earner and to protect them. Yeah, it's not, I mean, this is the crazier women, right? And men have their craziness too, right? But in this particular instance, right? And I mean, I've said this for many years. Like if you want a man who makes a lot of money, he's going to piss a lot of people off because other people want that money. If you want a man who makes a sale, he's going to piss all the other salespeople off because he's getting all the money. So if you want a man to be successful, then he's not going to be sensitive. And if you want a man to be sensitive, he's not going to be successful. I want you to man to be both sensitive and successful. It's incomprehensible. It's incomprehensible to men. Right? It's like the man who wants the woman who's super hot but has no idea it's like you know women are very much programmed to figure out why they stand on the dating pecking order right so, yeah it's really uh really tragic and it's all just the result of of uh uh the state right it's just it's so profitable to propagandize people.
[1:09:51] Okay successful and nice okay he is gay oh nice i would invite you to spend some more time around our good gay friends in the world just i mean i grew up i was in theater school i had four gay guys and a lesbian as a roommate in my master's program and uh you know.
[1:10:16] I remember this this guy he was a ballet dancer he moved in into toronto and he was in my house for a while and i mean he just told me these horrifying stories of of being just so aggressively hit on and almost preyed upon and it's like you know if you think that gay is just synonymous with nice, and of course there are lots of nice gay men and so on, but if you think that gay is just synonymous with nice, maybe I just had some bad experiences. But I would invite you to spend a little bit more time in the gay culture and see how nice they all are. All right. Let's see here. Thank you, Tony. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. Very kind, very kind, very thoughtful. So nice! Not to be unfair, but Milo? Milo, I mean, as you know, Milo has a bit of an edge. I mean, he has a bit of an edge. Go read Nero, right? Ha ha ha.
[1:11:37] All right. Any other last questions and comments? Is women withholding sex as a weapon and generally being hostile to men a largely American phenomenon? I've heard of this happening in countless cases, including your call-in shows, but cannot recall this ever happening to one of your European callers. Um...
[1:12:09] Withholding sex as a web so i mean you're thinking i mean that there was an original was it agamemnon there was original play about women refusing to have sex with greek men in the ancient world until they stopped having the war peloponnesian war or something like that so uh withholding sex as a manipulation for women is is a time-honored tradition right, i can't sleep with you if i'm angry with you right so then oh i gotta make her not angry so that's that's the sort of time-honored thing it's definitely a thing i mean korea the whole the was it 4b or whatever it is like the sort of don't sleep don't date don't have kids i don't all of that sort of stuff which is fine listen i mean i um i personally think and i i can't speak for men as a whole but i think you could make a very strong case that it's like well if you give up forced income redistribution you can have abortion right that that would be the deal my body, my choice means I don't want to pay for women who have kids outside of wedlock. I don't want to pay. I don't want to pay for the dentistry. I don't want to pay for the braces. I don't want to pay for the healthcare. I don't want to pay for the education. So, if it's my wallet, my choice, then it can be your body, your choice. I just don't want to have to subsidize it. That's all. I don't want to be forced to pay for other people's bad decisions.
[1:13:24] That's a violation of my conscience. It's a violation. Forced association is a violation of freedom of association. I do not want to pay for other people's shitty choices.
[1:13:32] And I don't want them to have to pay for my shitty choices, which happen, of course. So, no, I don't, uh...
[1:13:41] I mean, can you imagine a gay man here? It's not a nice community or tolerant. Well, you know, there's a variety, but I wouldn't, uh... Liz Estrada, yeah, thanks.
[1:13:53] Hello, Faye. Hello, Faye. Hi, fellow gay FDR listener. Yeah, I mean, it can be a little bitchy time to time, on occasion, from time to time. Hello, everyone. Thank you. Withholding sex doesn't work. That's just punishment for me. Well, the parallel to withholding sex is the man withholding money. I mean, evolutionarily speaking, right? So, women can... I would be much more comfortable with women having more access to abortion if they didn't have access to my wallet or your wallet, right? And I say this to men and to women because it's not like it's all men subsidizing all women who make bad decisions. There's lots of women who subsidize men making bad decisions. There's lots of women who subsidize other women making bad decisions. But as a whole, in general, women generally get twice the resources out of the system than they pay in taxes and men get half the benefits that they pay in taxes, right? I just don't want to subsidize people's bad. I don't want to be forced to subsidize people's bad decisions. That is a violation of my conscience. And so.
[1:15:18] Well, I mean, and, uh, lesbian relationships, I think are statistically the most violent and sort of lesbian bed, uh, death is sort of a known phenomenon that when lesbians stop having, um, sexual relations and, uh, less violence, physical violence in lesbian relationships is, I think the highest of all of that.
[1:15:43] So, I think I don't want to be forced to pay for abortions and I don't want to be forced to pay to raise children that aren't mine. That's sort of foundationally anti-male, right? So, it is foundationally anti-male to force mostly men to pay for other men's children.
[1:16:13] Yeah, I mean, obesity, yeah, eat what you want. I would recommend you don't overeat, but if eat what you want, I just don't want to be forced to pay for your healthcare. That's all. I don't want to be forced to pay for your healthcare. You know, have dangerous hobbies. Have stupid, dangerous hobbies. You want to rock climb without a harness? I think it's stupid, but okay. I mean, I'm not going to go out and finger wag and drag people off the mountain. I just don't want to have to be, I don't want to have to pay for the costs you know I want insurance companies to figure this shit out right like because I don't know what's you know if you're going to have stupid dangerous hobbies then that's fine uh I just want to let the insurance companies figure it out like what's the cost of your life insurance if you ride your motorcycle in the rain right you may be right I may be crazy. I'll see you next time.
[1:17:20] All right. Let me just check comments over here. Thank you for your support. Rather than a bunch of small donations, if you could go to freedomain.com slash donate to help out, that would be better. That would be better. But I do appreciate the support. All right, what have we got here? Best Stef right there. Story of your enslavement. Somebody says, I have, I had a great mother. I have a wife who supports me 100% as if I build my two businesses and take care of my father, but I have a real dislike to most other women and how they talk to me. I'm done with the, with the something, something. It's gone. It's gone. It's gone. Well, okay. Let me just ask you this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Billy Joel. Okay. What percentage of people that you've met over the course of your life would you consider high quality? Trustworthy, reliable, honorable, moral, keep their word, fight the good fight, oppose immorality, promote virtue, and so on. What?
[1:18:40] What percentage of people would you consider high quality over the course of all the people you've met, over the course of your life, from being a kid, extended family, you name it, right? What percentage? For me, it's like the low single digits. And I just look at the number of people that I've retained over the course of my life, some for long periods of time, very long. But, oh, you get 20%. Wow, good for you. Three uh 20 less than five three to five percent low amount yeah uh five percent i mean i view uh you guys as being at the top one percent right can count on a finger yeah it's very low right it's very low, so i mean that's great to know that number right so what you can do then is when you meet new people Well, I mean, that's the great thing about being older is you've got validated statistics on your side. So you meet some new person. Whenever I meet a new person in the general population, I give them a less than 5% chance of being quality.
[1:19:58] That's just data that's just facts that's just statistics right so, so it's good it's very efficient right it's very efficient you know like all the women who want a sex strike because trump got elected hey you know uh great great.
[1:20:25] It's like i i'm very i'm i'm absolutely completely and totally thrilled honestly like butterflies in my heart uh my my spleen has wings i am absolutely completely and totally thrilled at all of the people on the left who are blaming their election losses on racism sexism homophobia misogyny right it's like yeah absolutely keep doing that man don't learn it don't learn a goddamn thing keep doing that keep blaming everyone but yourselves because when people blame everyone but themselves they don't change their behavior fantastic never interrupt your enemy when they're in the process of making a mistake right because and and now there's the luring right there's the anglerfish luring that's happening in the u.s population which is all the leftists who are like Like, you know, I'm just, I'm just, I'm seeking to understand. Like, tell me, tell me what I'm seeking to understand. I really want to know what it is that you found appealing or help me understand. Like, where are you coming from? And like, what's missing for you? And it's like, don't, don't do it. Don't fall into it. Don't fall into it. You know, it's, it's like the old thing. Well, you tell me, how does this affect you personally? Like, how does it really affect you personally? Right? Of course, they never say that to post-menopausal women talking about abortion, right? Then this collective is fine, right? Then the collective is fine, right?
[1:21:54] But no, don't, uh, because it is a trap, right?
[1:21:58] So if somebody were to come to me and say, oh man, Ben, you, you support like the free market, like help me understand. Like, like I, I don't get it. Like just, and I'm like, okay, what have you read? That's why I'm always saying, okay, what have you read? What have you read? What, what, you know, there's lots of fair, very famous free market economists. What have you, who, who have you read? Well, no one. Well, fuck, I'm supposed to suddenly compress 30, 40 years of education into talking to you. I'm not your slave. Why the fuck would I do that? I kid you. Go spend five years reading shit. I can give you a list. Go spend five years reading shit and get back to me with anything you don't understand.
[1:22:45] But no, my God, I was like, oh, help me. If you want to know why people supported Trump, just go follow the Trump supporters and listen to their speeches, read their books. There's tons of them. You've got Charlie Kirk, you've got Dan Bongino. It turns out that Megyn Kelly ended up doing a little old flip there from grilling Trump about his comments about women to giving speeches at his rallies. There's Jack Posobiec, there's Mike Cernovich, there's Scott Adams is fairly pro, right? There's tons of people, and a lot of them have read, have written books and, right, explained the whole thing. I mean, I did the audiobook of MAGA Mindset from Mike Cernovich years ago, right? So there's lots of you've got a Mises, you're like, tons of people who talk about this kind of stuff, so go learn about it.
[1:23:34] And don't come to me, don't ever come to me, giving me the impression that what I believe is so incomprehensible that I need to just sit down and unroll it all for you.
[1:23:56] That's a real incel. That's a real incel. I just, I can't, I can't fathom how a human being could think of this way. So, so explain it to me. It's like, nope, you lost me already. I mean, I have no interest in talking to someone like that.
[1:24:19] Yeah, no, like, no, absolutely not. because what they're saying and i did just a little short show this morning about this yeah it's very condescending like how could you possibly end up with this perspelling who hurt you like what what happened that you what rabbit hole did you fall down what misinformation you've been exposed to right because like you know there's misinformation disinformation and malinformation right misinformation is whoops got it wrong disinformation is consciously got it wrong malinformation is you didn't get it wrong but it's going to have harmful effects because apparently people who promote the teaching of Marxism and communism in schools are really concerned about the negative effects of particular belief systems, not the hundred million dead and all of that, but yeah, show 5723, how to break your brain. So when somebody says like, how could you possibly come up with these perspectives? They're saying that they're incredibly bigoted and prejudiced, right? That they don't have anyone who has any of these beliefs. They don't know anyone. They've never met anyone. They don't read anything. They've never been exposed to blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right?
[1:25:28] So, no, I don't. That's a trap. It's an insulting trap. No, I just, I don't get it. I don't, I don't understand. Like, why would you blah, blah, blah, blah, right? Nope. Yeah, but what have you read? Well, I haven't, I haven't read. That's what I'm seeking to understand I'm just trying to understand no if you're trying to understand something you pick up a fucking book right when I first heard about Bitcoin I read the white paper in fact I read the white paper out on this show Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper right if I want to if I want to understand something I pick up a fucking book I watch a lecture, I learned some shit. I don't just don't go to an expert and say, I don't understand any of this. Can you explain it to me? Like, none of this makes any sense to me. It's like, they read a book, idiot. Don't do this clammy, I'm just, I'm just seeking to understand. So it's like tentacles and waving and going into your fucking nose and trying to disassemble your brain. Go read some shit and get back to me.
[1:26:46] Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, capitalism killed people. Yes, that's right. Voluntary free market trade is just plain murderous. Oh, no, no. What you're confusing is corporations, which are statist entities, taking tax money in order to deliver goods to governments to kill people around the world. That's not the free market in any way, shape or form.
[1:27:11] Yeah, it's like when Rachel is being disingenuous at the rally when talking with Oliver. Yeah. Yeah. Rachel finally escapes the city, right? Manipulation, when she tells the truth to the policeman. She's finally honest, finally honest with someone, direct. States her needs without being manipulative, without using sexuality, without being manipulative, and then she escapes and gets to Oliver. Myopic? I don't know. No, it's just a trap. It's just a trap. happen it's it's like going to a graduate seminar in quantum mechanics and saying i don't understand this at all this this doesn't make any sense to me things can be here and not here some gold goes through i don't know what is what help me help like this is a graduate school.
[1:28:06] You gotta learn, you know asking like somebody's not like if somebody genuinely wants to know about something they'll learn about it and then ask you to fill in the holes.
[1:28:25] It's like, who'll build the roads, people? Like if, right? Who's going to build the roads in a free society? How will the children be educated? It's like, you know, there's Murray Rothbard. There's like 6 million people who've written answers to this, right? Have you read anything, right? Have you, I mean, AI has eliminated all this shit, right? No, it's not a cope for their inadequacy. No, no, no. It's an attempt to sow. It's concern troll. like i just seeking to understand it's like then go read a book go read a book and tell me what you don't understand go read five books 10 books 20 books and then tell me what you don't understand, but if people want to learn things they go learn them and my answer now would be even easier it's like uh uh okay let's let's let's give it a try let's give it a try my favorite is grok, and my favorite is grok okay uh in a free uh in a stateless society, uh how who builds the roads right, hey maybe it scanned my books yeah look at this in a stateless society the construction and maintenance of infrastructure like roads could potentially be handled by several means voluntary cooperation mutual aid market solutions npo non-profit organizations insurance and investments local communities or syndicates customs and traditions subscription services And it's like, what?
[1:29:50] So AI is beautiful for weeding out concern trolls, right? Right? Like, can you imagine? You're right. You sit down with Elon Musk. I don't get how, how do these batteries, like, how does the, how do the batteries and, like, how does the car see and how does it know which way to go? And, like, how does it, like. So the great thing with, ai is like have you have you asked ai no i want you to tell me no i got a life to live are you going to pay me are you are you going to pay me for my time and expertise.
[1:30:37] Now with AI, if you haven't even asked the questions in AI, don't waste my time. Honestly, it's like if you're a waiter, right? And I'll sort of finish up here. So if you want to get any of your tips in before the end of the show, I really would appreciate it. Freedomain.com slash donate or here. So it's like you're a waiter and you've got a menu with eight pages, right? Four and four front and back, right? So you've got eight pages, right? It's a big complicated menu and then you give the menu to people and.
[1:31:15] Then each person at the dinner table wants you to go through the menu, what's on the menu you have a menu have you read the menu no i just tell them what's on the menu, it's like well we have menus for a reason oh and what's the price and does it come with this and what are the sides and what are the options and can i it's all on there on the menu you read the menu and i'll get back to you now if there are any questions that aren't on the menu i'll answer them but i'm not gonna for like eight people i'm not gonna eight times go through what what's on the menu right yeah if you're not curious enough to go look it up right then why on earth would i answer your questions this used to be a big thing back in the internet forums yeah don't speak and if the noobs let them use the search function. Yeah, go look it up.
[1:32:02] You know, I mean, Murray Rothbard is great to read about this stuff. I would humbly suggest that my free books are also great on how things get done in a free society. I've got three books on this, Everyday Anarchy, Practical Anarchy, and The Future, my novel. Everyday Anarchy is an underrated but brilliant book. I will give you two seconds on the central thesis. So people say, well, how on earth would contracts be enforced without a government? And it's like, you know, the government runs on corruption and bribery, none of which can be enforced legally, right? People donate to campaigns, and then they go to thousand plate dinners, and then they get mystery meetings with the mayor, and then they get their permits approved, right? So the government literally runs entirely on unenforceable contracts. So saying how will contracts be enforced without the government is completely irrelevant. It's a complete non sequitur. Because if the government runs on unenforceable contracts without the government's contracts can be enforced through ostracism and so on right so it's a great argument and a great thesis and you should read the book because it goes into really quite hilarious detail and you should also read um the handbook of human ownership or listen to that as well or there's a video for it which is very good.
[1:33:21] Yeah, I don't understand what you said. That means you're wrong and I'm right, right? I think it's a human mechanism to lie to yourself. Isn't that strange? No, it's just a way of being baffled is a way of saying that your opponent's argument is crazy, right? None of this makes any sense. Now, they say to me, like, I just, I don't get it and blah, blah, blah, right? It's just a way of saying that, that the other person's it's a way of discrediting the other person's argument right thank you Vince I appreciate that yeah it's really uh, oh is that let me just look this up.
[1:34:13] Uh your protection is not private oh let me google that for you right well but you shouldn't shouldn't google anything if you want any facts right google is a moloch right let me ask moloch about virtue let me go to google for facts isn't it appeal to status yeah it's saying like your beliefs are so weird that i i can't comprehend i've never encountered them before nobody i know all of my friends who are good they don't know anything about like it's so weird it's just a way of alienating people from your perspective right so no it's it's an absolute troll and i would have nothing to do with it in a zillion years unless it was some sort of public debate, all right okay uh any other last questions just before we close off of the night i really do appreciate you guys getting by tonight. And I'll do my big topic I will do as a solo show because you guys just had great questions.
[1:35:10] Questions and comments, let me. Yeah, what does Wikipedia say? Ah, Wikipedia, speak with forked tongue. How did you learn about business and management? Was it mostly from books? So, I've always loved business. I used to, honestly, in my late teens, early 20s, I used to go to the library and read the Harvard Business Review. The Harvard Business Review. it's where i learned about firing your your customers the customer is not always right so i used to read a bunch of this stuff i worked in hr departments and other business departments, for a long time as a student i had a bunch of temp jobs in various places i would worked at deck and all of that so um and just doing it right yeah i will i will absolutely i'm sorry i will absolutely try and get a meetup done this month thank you ground beef for the tip i really really appreciate that uh i will i will try and get a meet and you know what i will get a meetup done this month and i'm sorry it's my bad for for not uh i've had a couple of things come up which we don't really have to uh bother talking about but um i appreciate your support so but we will we'll get a meetup yeah we'll get a meetup it'll be go it'll go out to donors.
[1:36:17] I'm old enough to remember when Stefan praised Google and YouTube as examples of how great capitalism is, how times have changed, LOL. I think you're full of crap about that. Yeah, I mean, YouTube has always taken government subsidies and so on. So if I've completely forgotten that, and I've always criticized corporatism as a whole, right? Corporatism is a kind of fascism. I did shows with Stefan Kinsella way back, way, way back about that kind of stuff.
[1:36:48] So, I, you know, I don't remember saying that they are great examples of pure free market stuff. I'm not. It was a long time ago. Okay, yeah, honestly, just, please, and I don't want to be incorrect about this. I've talked about the free flow of information, the free market of information, which YouTube certainly did, you know, back in its early days, the glorious, you know, 2006 to 2016, the 10 years of true free speech, that was pretty cool. But yeah, I don't remember saying that Google and YouTube are wonderful, perfectly capitalist organizations, but I am happy to be corrected. So just give me a, you can just email me. You can email me host at freedomain.com if you don't mind, right? I'm sure you can find it pretty easily because you just, it's right off the top of your mind so you can just email me the show number.
[1:37:46] Host of freedomain.com and I'll have a listen and maybe I was madly enthusiastic about things but I don't remember that so and you know if you're gonna if you're gonna put out this kind of stuff don't be wrong you know don't be wrong that's pretty pretty bad pretty bad just wanted to say I really appreciate your accolades about the accolades about the FDR audience they're very well-founded, something I've thought for a while, but not said. Well, I appreciate that. I really do appreciate that. And I, there's a reason I spend, uh, you know, six, six plus hours with you guys a week, uh, just chatting and jawboning about philosophy because outside of family and friends, you guys are the best people to spend time with. And I really, really do appreciate that. All right. So have yourselves a glorious evening. Lots of love from up here.
[1:38:30] I will talk to you guys Sunday and, uh, take care. Bye.
