In this episode, we delve into an expansive discussion that encompasses topics from societal norms to personal philosophies surrounding relationships and masculinity. Our conversation begins with a critical examination of the intersection between politics and media, particularly as it relates to paid narratives and hidden agendas, referencing recent revelations about organizations such as Politico and their connections to government funding. I express a blend of curiosity and skepticism towards these revelations, revealing my expectation of being named among the significant figures involved in what I perceive as manipulative practices.
As the discussion evolves, I share my personal battle with health, reflecting on how infrequent illnesses serve a purpose in life’s narrative, while also aiming to maintain humor and lightness. I emphasize the role of male vulnerability in relationship dynamics, particularly questioning traditional proposal customs like getting down on one knee. This leads into a broader exploration of male and female roles based on evolutionary and psychological insights regarding commitment, security, and societal expectations.
The conversation takes a turn towards the impact of societal structures on personal relationships. I argue that male commitment, during times of prosperity, becomes a cornerstone of familial stability, discussing monogamy's benefits particularly for women as they age. My perspective sharpens on contemporary issues regarding morality, abortion, and the consequences of societal changes on family structures, discussing how these problems are intricately linked to modern dating practices and men's responsibilities.
I highlight concerns surrounding modern relationships, particularly the dynamics of 'chore play'—the notion that men’s contributions to household tasks can impact romantic availability—challenging prevailing thoughts and existing stereotypes. The societal expectation for women to balance stress with maintaining romantic engagement adds another layer to the discussion where I dissect myths versus the reality of modern relationships.
We reflect on various societal expectations and the hypocrisy that often surrounds them, including discussions on how leisure and financial status impact dating scenarios. I touch upon the expectations placed on young men in particular by societal norms, suggesting the consequences of these dynamics on an individual's self-worth and relationship success.
Towards the end of the episode, I address the often-ignored reality of immature behaviors across genders. In doing so, I provide inciteful analysis on the cultural recommendations that are primarily critical of men, juxtaposing this critique against the broader socio-economic behaviors of both genders. With humor, I navigate serious topics such as maturity, responsibility, and societal contributions, ultimately advocating for a balanced look at the roles of men and women in relation to both criticism and praise.
Closing this extensive primary discussion, I echo the importance of self-reliance and honest dialogues in not only personal relationships but broader community interactions. I promote a perspective of appreciation for both masculinity and femininity, hoping to encourage listeners to cultivate fulfilling relationships based on mutual respect and realistic expectations. The goal of this episode is to inspire clarity and critical thinking within the listener's own relationship dynamics and encourage deeper self-reflection within societal norms.
[0:00] Good evening, everybody. Welcome to your Wednesday night, live on the Sanco de Blanco of February 2025.
[0:09] I return to you from the very edge of human health, and we're gonna be fine. We're gonna be fine. Yeah, Politico, somebody writes, Politico has been shown today as having been paid millions of dollars since 2019 by USAID to falsely legitimize reports that Hunter Biden's laptop's criminality was fake news yeah yeah yeah i got it i mean it's honestly uh it's going to be uh uh i i await with some bland i i await with some bland curiosity where my name is going to show up in all of these nefarious bills and bribes right the new york times is getting millions of dollars from uh the government so they might not have been entirely neutral uh about me maybe, just a tiny tiny little bit are you recovering well um it's certainly the i haven't had a flu in years and years and years so i honestly can't remember the last time i had a flu, but it's um it's not a lot of fun it's not a lot of fun.
[1:13] But you know it's uh it's good for your system to get sick once in a while isn't it, it's good for your system but you know the plus side is i'm taking the conjunctivitis, I goo and it's nice it's actually nice to be able to open my eyes in the morning without having to have hot water on my eyes I can pry them open it was so gooed.
[1:37] Yeah. And the flu, it's like, the flu is like a gunshot. Like, okay, they can pull the bullet out, but there's still a certain amount of healing that goes on afterwards. So, uh, yeah, the flu is, uh, I knocked down, I get knocked down, but I get up again, but it's kind of slow, but it's kind of slow. All right. Let's get to your comments. Uh, Stef, you, Stef, thank you for your time in last week's private call. It was very great. It was very great and helpful conversation well thank you i appreciate that and uh if you want to do a private call, they are good man there's a kind of bluntness and directness that i can have at a private call that just doesn't exist in a public call so all right let's see here get to your questions and comments.
[2:28] Stef what are your thoughts on men getting on a knee when proposing is it kind of simpish or just a benign tradition, okay so look bros almost all almost all of human society is driven by female vulnerability, right almost all of human society is driven by female vulnerability because a woman when she has sex with a man risks getting pregnant when she gets pregnant she is then tied to the man, for the rest of her life.
[3:08] I mean, imagine, as a man, that you had to have unprotected sex and if the woman got pregnant, you had to marry her. How would that change your behavior? Right? You couldn't use a birth control, and if you got a woman pregnant, you would have to marry her because that's what's called a shotgun wedding. That's in fact how it lock and roll, baby. That's how it used to work throughout a human history. So, I mean, I know that there's a lot of theories about why the left pushes abortion so much. But one of the reasons the left pushes abortion, which I'm sure is unconscious, which makes it even more powerful, I think. One of the reasons the left pushes abortion so much is because it reduces the need for morality. The most consequential thing in human society is female pregnancy. I know, female's a bit redundant now that Trump's back in power, but female pregnancy because women lose their looks, they lose their figure, they are disabled, and then they are breastfeeding, and they require, you know, $50,000 a year of resources for 20 years.
[4:30] So women, there's a deal which says men have to be trustworthy for civilization to exist. Men have to be trustworthy for civilization to exist. I was talking with a fellow not too long ago who was passionless. You ever meet these people, they just don't seem to have much passion in their lives? And he was having trouble. uh he hadn't dated in well let's just say a long time and i said but you, you can't get a woman to commit to you if you're not willing to be passionate because a woman's security is baked into is built into your passion for her you know i i want my wife to know it's kind of like a running gag you know oh are you leaving the house honey when will you be back I want my wife to know every day how much I absolutely love worship and adore her, and need her like oxygen, right? Because that's security. That's security.
[5:46] So you get rid of, you have abortion so that you get rid of the need for morality, because morality is based upon scarcity. and when you eliminate scarcity you eliminate morality which is why there are no property rights for air, not a scarce substance well I guess where it is scarce that's in scuba gear self-contained underwater breathing apparatus nerd where it is scarce underwater then you have property rights in air, so when women can have consequence-free sex, then they don't have to judge the moral character of the men that they're having sex with which is why they tend to go for bad boys so women will have sex with bad good boys and then they will take the tax money of responsible men right because men pay like 80 percent of the taxes right so they will take the money from responsible men.
[6:53] In order to pay for the children of irresponsible men, which is why IQ is dropping, and there are certain specific genes associated with educational attainment that are also being bled out of the general population. It's very sad. So, if a man gets on one knee when proposing, he's saying, I kneel before you, you are my goddess, and that is what women require in order to open their legs, hearts, loins, and wombs to a man. They need to know that the man is devoted to them. Because this is monogamy. Monogamy benefits women. Monogamy benefits women. Because men get more and more valuable as they age, sexual market value, and women get less and less valuable as they age. So, monogamy benefits women primarily for the second half of their lives.
[7:54] So, a woman needs to know that the man is so devoted to her that when he is at the peak of his earnings and attractiveness, so a man's earnings tend to peak around the age of, say, 45 to 55, right? That's sort of when men's earnings peak. And if you take reasonably good care of your health, you can be a hale and hearty and energetic and vital. I mean, I'm 58 and I'm still able to do most of what I've done over the course of my life in terms of physical activity and tennis and pickleball. And I still do basically the same weights workout I did in my teens, which, you know, I'm not a big muscle guy, obviously, right? But, you know, it's still, it sure beats bone degradation, right?
[8:41] So, the woman needs to know that the man is absolutely devoted to her, so that he will commit to her when he's, say, 45 years old and he's making a lot of money, and can provide a lot of security and income for a woman and maybe his first wife, like he got married in his early 20s, by the time he's in his mid-40s, his children are grown and he can start a second family. Right? He can start a second family.
[9:15] So why wouldn't he do that? It would maximize his genes. His wife is too old to have children.
[9:30] So why wouldn't he just say, well, I've got all this money. Women are beating a path to my door. I have proven fertility. Women don't have to roll the dice on whether I'm going to be productive or not, because I've got money. So why on earth wouldn't I just start another family?
[9:50] So, of course, it doesn't work. If society does that, then society doesn't work. Because women then won't commit to raising children, because they'll need to keep working so that they'll have some income for the, you know, from 45 to 85, they got 40 years or maybe 20 years. So they'll have to keep working, which means that cultural values aren't transmitted because strangers raise your children. All the stuff I wrote about in my novel called The Present, which you should definitely check out at freedomain.com slash books. So yeah, women need to know that you are devoted to them and you're not going anywhere now men of course need to know that women are devoted to them too so they don't get cocked and raise another man's offspring which is an absolute catastrophe right well what's that old joke about this husband who says wow you know i i got a vasectomy and i thought that was going to make me infertile it turned turns out it actually all it does is change the color of the baby it's daddy's mama's baby and daddy's maybe right.
[10:55] So you just, you need to pair, to have a civilization, you need to pair bond for life. No maybes, no, right? I mean, because you know what happens is it's sort of the typical story that the older man has the sort of frumpy wife who's kind of aged out. And then this lovely maid comes along or this, you know, this masseuse comes along, just starts flirting outrageously and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
[11:25] So, for a man to go down on his knees before a woman is to say, you are what I worship now. And that is what a woman needs in order to feel secure enough to have her children. Because when a woman has children, understand, when a woman has children, the game is over for her.
[11:50] This is one of the reasons why women resist so much the idea, of having kids when a woman has kids I mean I did this whole like don't date single mom stuff and lots of people have done this kind of work I mean after me but you know nonetheless but it's over, it's over yeah it's over the game is over.
[12:18] I mean, she's going to get pear-shaped, she's going to get frumpy, she is going to be tired, right? She's going to lose her attractiveness, and she's going to, maybe she'll find some place to, if she's a single mom, to put her kid while she's dating. But, you know, everybody's working like crazy to minimize the impact of the kid or kids on the guy who's dating in the hopes that he'll marry her, and then everybody relaxes, and then the true tsunami of the time and money commitment comes in, right? Did you see Trump's 27-year-old press secretary is married to a guy almost 60? Yeah. Yeah. Be like me dating Lauren Southern or something like that. So yes. And I mean, whatever they've got there, you can have your outliers, but as a whole society can't work that way. Yeah. Society can't work that way at all.
[13:14] Because if there's a big age disparity in marriage, then young men can't compete. Because if older men, you know, the silver foxes, older men who've kept their looks and have a lot of money, right? This is what young men are facing these days, is that women want expensive dates. And to get expensive dates, they need older men. And so women are sleeping with older men in order to have expensive dates. Not obviously all, right not even that many but certainly enough to make a difference but women are sleeping with older men in order to um because it's all about the selfie now right it's all about the selfie right look at me uh this restaurant is so hard to get into look at my beautiful food look at me blah blah blah right, so So...
[14:10] Young men cannot compete with reasonably attractive older men because reasonably attractive older men have tons of money. I mean, for dating, right? And they're still young enough to become fathers in their 40s, right? I mean, it's funny because there's the silver fox thing and then there's just the ick thing. And honestly, it has a lot to do with bald or not. although if you shave your head, that's not so bad. But there's a woman I talked to many years ago on the show, it was called Estrogen-Based Parasites, where she basically was sleeping with an older guy because she wanted to inherit his house. And I'm like, so you're straddling a Nazgul for real estate. I do have a pungent turn of phrase from time to time.
[15:12] So yeah women uh if older men are dipping down into the dating pool of younger women then the older men will burn up the younger women's fertility windows for the sake of vanity and, right there's arm candy and then there's social media candy right, it seems like for modern women the entire goal is not to reproduce or to transmit values or to be motherous, but simply to be envied. Simply to be envied. That is the goal of many, all too many modern women. Yeah, the show number is 3-1, sorry, the show number is 2650, and I think we did another one, 3124, wow, 10 years ago. Ooh, ooh.
[16:08] Yeah. So, you know, there's booty calls where the guy calls up the woman at like one in the morning and wants to come over. So there's a booty calls and there's a new phenomenon. Maybe it's not that new, but there's a phenomenon called foodie calls.
[16:21] And a foodie call is when a woman goes on a dinner date with a guy she's not going to sleep with. And, uh, he pays for food and she just does it to, uh, save money on dinner to go out someplace nice.
[16:42] All right, somebody says, I'm rereading The Fountainhead, and you once said you liked Rourke more than Galt. I'm curious what Rourke meant to you. Well, Galt is too abstract and quote perfect a human being. At least Galt, at least Rourke was tempted by things, and so on, right? So, somebody says, I have a new friend who's in his early 30s, and he pays for these expensive dinner dates on the first date. He's now on his fourth or fifth date a week of saying he's trying to make things work with a girl. He's sweeter than pie and a total genius, but I think the girls are using him for dinners. Right. And she probably takes pictures of the food and posts it on Instagram to show off to her girlfriends that she's competing with. Yeah. Right so you know how this is supposed to work right.
[17:40] So the way that it's supposed to work is if the woman doesn't have as much money, as the man then maybe he takes her out for a nice dinner which can be 200 bucks easy peasy especially if there's alcohol involved so he takes her out for an expensive dinner and then, how is she supposed to reciprocate and no it's not sex how is she supposed to reciprocate if she doesn't have much money, So the way that she is supposed to reciprocate, sorry, I know there's a delay, is she is supposed to make him a very nice meal at her house, right? So he's showing, look, I have resources and can afford nice dinners. And then she's supposed to say, I have homemaking skills or cooking skills, and I'm happy to make you a nice meal at home. And I mean the guy would be churlish to say yes but but the meal out was more expensive that's really not supposed to be the point right the point is that he shows off his resource acquisition abilities by being able to pay for a dinner out and then she shows off her homemaking skills.
[19:06] By being able to cook a nice meal for him at home I mean that's the way that it used to work when I was younger now if i were to took if i were to take out a woman for a nice meal if i was still dating and she did not reciprocate with offering to cook me a meal now if she's you know she's kind of new maybe she's uh she doesn't want you coming over to her place because for a woman, who's maybe a little jumpy about that sort of stuff it's easier for her to be at your house because she can leave. But if things go weird and you're at her house, she can't leave nearly as easily. So she might say, listen, I really appreciate that meal. I would love to cook a meal for you. I will pick up the ingredients and I will meet you at your house seven o'clock on Friday night. So that's reciprocity. And I have never sustained a relationship with a woman where there's not reciprocity. And I would strongly suggest you don't do it. You don't do it. If she's not trying to think of ways to make your life better, when you're paying for things, she's an exploiter. She's a vampire. She's a vampire.
[20:29] How about Jennifer Lopez dating Kevin Costner? I'm not sure why I would have any opinions or thoughts about that at all. I try not to have opinions or thoughts about people who have neither opinions nor thoughts.
[20:47] All right, hit me with a why if you would be interested in the topic called chore play. Chore play. This is the idea that if the man does more chores, The woman will be more sexually available because she saw more relaxed and happy. While we're waiting for that, somebody says, Dorbin says, Hey, Stef, have you ever seen any of the original Twilight Zone episodes? I found the first two episodes surprisingly deep and well-written. I'm curious if you had any thoughts on the series. Yeah, I thought they were clever. Kind of nihilistic, but clever. Room for one more? There's a really good one with William Shatner. Seeing a monster outside, in an airplane. All right. So chore play is very interesting. So chore play... Oh, let's see here. What if the woman is hesitant to go to your house early on in dating because she thinks that would mean you would expect sex?
[21:56] Well, I would say that a woman... should either make that clear ahead of time, or just be able to handle a man who gets a bit handsy and say, no, it's too soon for me, but I appreciate the interest. You're attractive, I'm definitely excited, but it's too soon for me. That's fine, right? So, we would expect a woman to be able to handle a guy coming on a little strong, because sometimes that's what guys do, right? So, she would be confident about that kind of situation.
[22:31] Oh, to go to your house. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, no, I didn't address that. So it's a different, coming to her house is different. So chore play goes a little something like this. It's the idea that, you know, guys, women are like, women, we're so stressed. We have so much on our plates. We're juggling so many things that, you know, when we come home and the place is a mess, we're so tense and we're so stressed. We just, we can't relax. We can't, we can't feel romantic. We can't feel affectionate in that kind of way because it's just so overwhelming and so you know you you need to take things some of these spinning plates the men need to take off so that we're not so overwhelmed.
[23:13] And if we're less overwhelmed then we can relax we can be romantic we can be playful we can be more sexual but you know we're just we're so stressed and we're so tense about all of these things that we have to do and all of the the burdens and you know a woman who comes home and the laundry's piled up and the dishes are in the sink she's just too tense and stressed she's got so much to do she can't relax and just enjoy that right so if you help women out they'll they'll be much more receptive to romantic advances and they'll be more playful and more fun but you know fellas you just gotta help out with these things otherwise women just can't um, we can't uh we can't relax and enjoy your company in that way.
[24:02] Right right right, have you ever heard of anything like this i'm not saying in your relationships as a whole but it's called chore play which is that uh doing chores for a woman is a form of foreplay that it makes them more receptive to, sexual advances and romance, right? Have you heard of this kind of thing? Yeah, there's this kind of thing that's going on at the moment on X that's about that. We're just overwhelmed, and if you help us become less whelmed then we can we can have sex, maybe.
[24:43] But you can't you can't expect me to have sex, when the place is a mess and the the the chores aren't done and the dishes aren't piled up in the sink and and you know i i i can't roll around on the carpet with you if the carpet is carpet is crunchy like somebody four generations ago ate a granola bar on the shag carpet and it's still like beach sand down there.
[25:14] Have you heard of this, this kind of thing? I have no respect for this stuff. Well, first of all, I'm sure you've heard of the studies that the more, quote, feminine chores a man does, the less sex he gets. Sorry, ladies, but science is, in fact, science. So, the more traditionally feminine chores a man does, the less sex they're going to get. The general social survey consistently finds that men do about half an hour more work a day when it comes to chores, childcare, and paid labor. If you include emotional labor, they do an extra three hours.
[26:05] So yep, so yeah the studies are pretty clear that if you as a man are doing laundry while your woman is unwinding on the couch, she's not she's much less likely to have sex with you I mean I'm not saying whether this is good or bad I'm just saying that it's not true, it's not true, also wanted to mention cases of schizophrenia linked to cannabis use disorder have almost tripled over the past 17 years this ain't your granddaddy's, marijuana it's terrible.
[26:59] All right, so saying that women what is emotional labor well it's resolving issues and conflicts in the in the relationship, I know more than a few at work who fried their memory with weed, yeah at least alcoholics know that they're alcoholics man weed addicts you just get this endless stream of bullshit uh that's all natural man yeah like arsenic yeah uh weed seriously disturbs working memory yeah uh the um the cliche of the drug-addled weed guy, I still remember, man. I still remember. We called them the Outback Gang. In my junior high school and high school, these are the guys who were kind of out back by the parking lot, wreathed in clouds of smoke, laughing, playing hacky sack. Not a care in the world. Not a thought in their heads. And it all looks like fun. It all looks like fun. Until.
[28:12] Until you check in, a decade or two later yeah one of those guys uh died i mean from yeah he died as an alcoholic, died this is a guy who at my um uh at my i went to three proms uh when i was uh at the end at the end of high school um uh i went to my own school prom and then i was dating girls and i would go to their proms and i had a had a blast man it was a lot of fun and then i went to work up north so the blast kind of echoed sadly in the snow but i remember at my prom which was at uh ontario place one of these guys who later died was like uh i didn't it was like running through being chased by security guards who were trying to throw him out and he was like i didn't do no disturbance man i didn't do no disturbance like it's a whole lot less cool then right.
[29:07] Because there is right there's a whole coterie and a lot of it's in the media in the hollywood right there's this whole coterie of man don't take on too many responsibilities just chillax just have fun don't be uptight don't be tense you know all the guys with their little pocket protectors and their wound up shirts and their tight balls and they're just not having any fun man you got to relax and enjoy yourself man and all the cool girls will want to sleep with you and you'll just have a blast and it's like it's all just absolutely demonic stuff right, one of the biggest conflicts on joe rogan's podcast was when steve crowder said weed sucks yeah.
[29:47] Yeah i mean in my view joe rogan is pretty much the epitome of controlled opposition but that's not particularly important all right.
[30:02] So with the the women who were like you know the planets need to align and all the chores need to be done in order for me to have uh any any romance right.
[30:19] Or the women who say i have a headache you know or as my wife said many many many years ago but you know what the best cure for a headache is she's not wrong right so, uh you know things just need i'm just i'm not aligned i'm not in the right space it's like okay so you just you don't have lust you don't have lust.
[30:45] You know uh some women will have sex in the toilet of a grungy nightclub and they're like oh but there's i can't i can't have sex if if there's a cup that's not on the coast it's like that's just not true it's just not even close to true what was it uh there was a very coarse comedy uh well i mean by kevin smith called mall rats they're not there to shop they're not there to work, they're just there and uh have you ever had sex in a really uncomfortable place and i think they're referring to anal sex it's like what the backseat of a volkswagen women will have sex in the backseat of a volkswagen women will have sex in an elevator women will have sex on a gritty roof at a disco so the idea that things need to be aligned and just i need to be in the right mind it's like nope nope nope nope it just means that the woman is out of lust and and if the woman wants to say you know i just i can't if if things aren't just the right way that i want them in in.
[32:03] In the house, or in my life, I just, I can't, I just can't, I can't have sex, right? I mean, imagine if the man wakes up in the morning, and he says, uh, yeah, I don't think, uh, I don't think I'm gonna head to work today, yeah, I don't feel it, you know, I just, for me to really concentrate, like, we just, we really haven't been having much sex at all lately, and I just, I can't concentrate, I can't focus, I can't work so listen no worries i'm not trying to pressure you in any way shape or form to do whatever you feel like do whatever you feel like but i'm just i'm not feeling the work thing i'm, no i would would she say well yeah that makes sense you don't, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do you don't have to go to work if like say she's not working and they've got two kids or three kids under the age of six and if he says you know i just uh i'm not feeling it you know i'm just i'm not feeling in my heart that, yearning burning to just you know you know what i'm really concerned that i'm not gonna i'm not gonna be able to concentrate or focus or do a good job at work, i mean what would the woman say, what would the woman say.
[33:27] Would she say no i get it man if you don't feel that there's enough affection at home if you feel like you're you know your balls are backed up if you feel that then yeah absolutely you shouldn't go to work i mean i wouldn't want you to go do some job where it's dangerous or you might yell at someone because you're too tense or like if your emotions just aren't there, i mean she wouldn't say that you've got responsibilities these. So, yeah, it must be really tough for a woman. It must be really tough for a woman to no longer lust after the man she's had children with.
[34:28] So, or if let's say that you're supposed to be going to your wife's parents for Christmas, right? And you're like, you know, I just, I don't feel like we've been close enough. I just, I don't, I don't feel connected enough. So I think I'm going to stay home and watch some sports, maybe have some buddies over, drink some beer. You know I'm just I'm not feeling connected enough to go do the in-law thing I'm not feeling close or intimate or yeah I'm just I'm not feeling it.
[35:13] I mean imagine, imagine, what would she say? yeah no that makes sense look if you're not feeling it, absolutely you don't have to do it right in fact i would i would hate for you to do something you didn't really want to oh is your is your friend getting married yeah you know we really haven't been very close lately i mean we don't have much physical affection i'm just i'm not like i'm just not feeling it sorry honey like i mean maybe if we can work on some of the closeness stuff i'll feel different, but, I'm not going to lie, I'm just I'm not feeling it, so I'm not going to go. Can you imagine?
[36:11] She'd be enraged. What do you mean you don't feel close enough? I'd be like, but that's what you have, right? How dare you compare? Like, I don't know. It's just nonsense, right? It's just not something that I would have even a tiny shred of respect for.
[36:38] Yeah, if the rule is you never have to do anything, you don't feel like doing in the moment, all right, then that's the rule. She'd be all, how dare you, Thunberg. Yeah. So how would a man begin to reverse his wife's lack of lust? Well, stop trying to appease her, for God's sakes. You know, make sure you stay a reasonably healthy weight. I mean, I don't work out because I'm joining any bodybuilder competitions. I largely work out to, say, strong and attractive for my wife. I mean, that's just part of the labor you have to put in. I mean, my wife and I have monogamy, which means we only have sex with each other. So I'm not going to get all kind of DMV on her and say, well, I have a monopoly, so I don't have to put any work in. I have to put more work in because I have a monopoly, right?
[37:27] Like, you know, there's this sort of cliche about the revenge body, right? Some woman breaks up with a guy or divorces a guy and only then she starts to work out and stuff like that. It's like, well, that's just stupid i mean if you have a monopoly this is sort of my argument with parenting if you have a monopoly you have a higher moral standard not a lower one so if you're going to say to someone which is marriage right if you're going to say to someone yeah you can only have sex with me for the rest of your life you better work at it man.
[38:07] Uh, can you provide your thoughts on man-children? In my observations, a certain percentage of men are mentally locked into a minor mental age. At least one man-child I know who does not have a steady job, a license, or a bank account. It's just a benevolent form of narcissism. Oh, come on. Come on. Man-child. Oh, the Peter Pan syndrome, all these men who refuse to grow up. Okay, let me ask you this Let me ask you this, people I'm really sick and tired Of this anti-male Claptrap, Okay, let me ask you this How many women do you know Who never settled down.
[38:51] No husband No kids, no responsibilities, How many women do you know Who have refused to grow up and take on, they date, they do their little jobs, they travel, they go to Taylor Swift concerts, they take selfies, they duck face, right? Do you think that the big problem in the modern world is childish men or childish women? No, we've got to just criticize the men, only and forever, the men. We'll be right back. Come on, women don't even pay back their student loans, I mean we did this 10 year study where men had paid off there was a 10 year study men had paid off a third of their student loans women had paid off 3% of their student loans women buy endless amounts of stupid useless shit, 84% of household purchasing decisions are made by women.
[40:09] What are they, human beings or magpies on cocaine? Jesus. We have a big problem that the women are just so astoundingly mature these days. So mature, which is why a third of women can't even get their fucking act together to use any one of the 18 different forms of birth control but need to have an abortion or five. Jesus. Women with their made-up, useless nonsense, I'm in communications, social sciences, psychology. They do almost nothing to maintain the infrastructure of the society. All they do is sit in their fucking capri pants, sip lattes, and complain about men. Not all obviously not all but a lot.
[41:08] All they do is complain about men, while 95% of men are responsible for 100% of the infrastructure that keeps them alive. These women would last approximately 72 hours without men, and all they do is feel oppressed. It's retarded beyond words. I mean, hey, I get it. I don't work in essential infrastructure. I did my manual labor for many years, but I don't work in essential infrastructure. I get that. I'm a frou-frou podcaster, but, but I don't put down the men who keep me alive.
[41:53] I don't put down the men who keep me alive.
[42:07] Women with their long nails in their air-conditioned offices, with their orgasm makeup faces complaining about being oppressed, when it's the men who are down the mines, it's the men who are cutting down the trees, it's the men who are stringing the electrical wires, it's the men who are doing the farming, it's the men who are doing the industrial machinery, it's the men who are doing the fishing. And you are falling into that exactly, my god yeah well what about all these childish men come on oh are you are you criticizing men boy that's almost as courageous as criticizing white people oh what a brave edgelord you are oh my wow the courage it takes to go out there and say you know there are these childish men who just won't grow up. Ooh, ooh, I'm getting a face tan from the brilliance and nuclear fission of your courage. Ha ha ha ha ha.
[43:20] We want equality. Oh, does that mean we might get drafted? We don't want equality. Come on, man. Look, if you don't want to criticize women, I get that. Whatever. It can be a surprisingly extreme sport. I get that. You don't want to criticize women. That's fine. But then shut the fuck up about men.
[43:50] Like you get that society keeping the fucking lights on and the electricity running and the air conditioning and the food this all men all men all men so the people keeping eight billion people alive is men. And women aren't even doing the birth rate thing. So men are supposed to give a lot of deference to women, but in return, women are supposed to, I don't know, make people.
[44:28] And so the birth rate is collapsing because of women. So they complain about the men who keep them alive and they complain about a society and they bitch wine moan and complain and they won't even make enough children to keep society functioning, and in all of that and they're horribly in debt and they're responsible for massive amounts of environmental degradation because of all the useless makeup and bullshit purchases, not all women of course right they lie ferociously with spanks and makeup and fake hair and dye and all other forms of self-adornment bullshit that would make a clown look like an elderly asian grandmother.
[45:20] They do all of this and won't even replenish the planet. Because someone told them that motherhood is uncool. It's just uncool. You know, go be a boss babe. Go be a boss babe. Go build an empire. Go be Beyonce. When the Beatles got four Grammys and Beyonce gets 30, you fucking three, she's peter keating with giant tree trunk legs and a mediocre alto, so women won't do productive things in society want subsidized jobs in comfortable offices won't have enough children to replenish the species, waste massive amounts of time, energy, money in useless loans, debts, and occupations interfere with HR in productive people scream for DEI and the only group that you can think of to criticize and bitch and whine and complain about is men.
[46:46] Come on, man. this is not like you are not looking at all objectively at society and saying of the groups as a whole who would be at the moment worthy of a little bit more criticism because it's not like men haven't been criticized the living shit out of for the last 80 years right like you understand post second world war the simone de beauvoir the the uh the freedman the betty freedom like all of this stuff is just complain, bitch, whine, moan about men, right? Male chauvinist pigs, men are assholes, men are selfish, men are rapists, like men complain, bitch, moan, complain about men for 80 fucking years.
[47:36] I mean, have you seen that there's this little meme of these two women in high heels walking down the street and there's some man working in a sewage vent and they scream at him for oppressing them, and he apologizes. All of the richest women in the world took money from their men. They didn't earn it themselves.
[48:02] One out of 20 American women is on OnlyFans, and you're complaining about men? Come on, man. Stop cucking. You know, it's always this female in-group preference. Fix, right? Female in-group preference. You know, the world wouldn't fucking die if we had some male in-group preference. And I will not. I will not sit here and listen to people complain about men ever again. I guarantee you that. And I'm sorry that this whole brickload of delayed frustration is landing in your heads for asking a generally innocent question. If it is innocent, I don't know. But I am not, not going to listen to anybody bitch about men ever again. I'm not going to support it. I'm not going to enable it. Because all you are doing is virtue signaling to women, well, I can criticize those man boys. Because you see, honey, I'm not a man boy. I'm a fully grown man. Don't you want to sleep with me? You're just shitting on men to look good to women. How's that working out for society as a whole? How's that working out for society as a whole? Men dumping on men in order to look good. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You're totally oppressed, honey. Oh, male chauvinist patriarchy. Totally.
[49:27] To help with your gay cuttlefish mating display. How about you stand with men once in a while? How about you stand with men once in a while? Just maybe. It's not the end of the world, is it? And you know why you should stand with men? You should stand with men so that you can date a woman who's got a good relationship with her father! That's why you should stand with men. You see, if you are just cucking and bitching and complaining about men, you're only going to draw women to you who have shitty relationships with their mostly absent dad, which means that their father chose, that their mother chose the wrong dad to have kids with.
[50:13] See what I'm saying? You are selecting out all of the quality women in existence by bitching about men. Because if a woman loves her father, cares about her father, respects her father, appreciates her father, then when you bitch about men, she won't like you. Now, if a woman is sublimating her anger at her mother for choosing the wrong guy into her father and blaming her father, oh, he just left, oh, he just wasn't there, he wasn't available, he didn't, he was lazy, didn't he? Right, so if the woman has a shitty relationship with her father, based upon the mother refusing to take responsibility for who she chose to screw, then when you bitch about men, it's going to strike a chord with her because you sound like her resentful single mother. Here's a tip, you know, guys, if you want to get a quality woman, don't sound like a resentful single mother who won't take responsibility and blames men for all of her decisions. Just maybe, maybe don't sound like a bitchy single mother if you want to get a quality woman. If you say to women, men are incredible and wonderful.
[51:29] Then a woman with a good relationship with her own father will be like, yeah, that was my experience for sure. Yeah, my mom is my best friend and my dad is absent is now a red flag for me. Oh, yes. Mothers should not be the best friends of their children. My God, you're supposed to be a coach, which means you have to occasionally have your kids not like you in the same way that you get annoyed at a coach who reminds you to eat better and exercise. Stop trying to get laid by shitting on your fellow men. And I say this because I want to help you.
[52:08] Because if you keep getting laid with women because you bitch at men, sooner or later, you're going to trip over a bunny boiler, man. You're going to get a full-on Glenn Close, flipping the lights stalker. You're going to get a false accusation. You're going to get some seriously fucked up stuff, man. Seriously fucked up stuff is going to happen to you if you virtue signal against men in order to try to be attractive to women. Now, I'm not saying this about the guy who made this comment, right? So, because, you know, I get that. It's not like there's an overabundance of the fairer sex in this particular live stream. So, I'm not talking about him as a whole, right? Just so you understand. And I appreciate his comment. I really do. But no, you go out to women and you say, oh, I'm thrilled to be a man. I love being a man. And you know what? I do love being a man. I love women. I really do. I live with two wonderful females, the best people around. I love being a man.
[53:09] I love being a man. I love the clarity, the objectivity, the rationality, the physical strength, the sense of security in the world, the sense of confidence moving through society. And I say this with sympathy for women who are smaller and weaker, but I love being a man. I love the incredibly fertile creativity. My wife often says, I wish I could spend, you know, 10 minutes in your brain. I wish I could spend 10, just 10 minutes in your brain to see what it's like. I love being a man. I love women, appreciate women, love being a man. Wouldn't trade it for anything.
[53:57] I couldn't conceive of myself as female because so much of, this is what Simone de Beauvoir said about when she wrote the book, The Second Sex, she said, you know, when I think about myself, the most essential thing that I can say is that I'm a woman. It's the same thing is true for me as a man. I could not conceive of myself as female because men and women are not the same. I'm a i'm an edgelord in that way like i'd rather roll the dice and maybe be a real dumb and super smart right because you know that there's more men at the higher echelons of, i should probably pronounce that more accurately at the highest echelons of intelligence there are virtually no women as a whole right women tend to cluster more around the media i'd much rather to roll the dice. I need to be really stupid or super smart. Now, I happen to have been quite fortunate in how the dice rolled for me with regards to intelligence. But my God, people.
[55:00] You have to be thrilled, happy, and overjoyed if you're a man to be a man. Now, if you're a woman, I want you to be thrilled, happy, and overjoyed to be a woman. Women do massive amounts of good and wonder and beauty in the world, and they are really the most essential ingredient in creating actual human life.
[55:32] But you've got to love being a man, and you've got to stop dumping other childish men out there. Sure, I get that, but when you focus on childish men, when you focus on childish men, by implication, you are saying that it's a much bigger problem than immature women. Right? By implication. Because you say, well, I'm really, really concerned, about immature people in society and I'm really, really going to focus on the men. I'm not even going to mention the women at all. I'm not even going to mention to women at all.
[56:33] That's implication, right? I'm really concerned about immaturity. Let's talk about men only and not women. So what you're saying is that, there really aren't any immature women. The only thing we have to focus on is, immature men. So, don't do it. That is just propaganda. And don't do it. If you stand with your fellow men and you enjoy being a man as you should, because there are great strengths in being a man, there's great strengths in being a woman.
[57:37] Enjoy being a man, enjoy being a woman, and don't turn on each other. That is to be a slave to the single mother mentality. So I'll give you an example. My mother, God lover, probably still alive for all I know. So my mother would complain about my father. I think he's my father. Anyway. Now If there was some guy, Slithering Around my mother As there was She was a very attractive woman Very pretty woman Stayed slender Into her 70s, 60s, 70s Or whatever the last time I saw her was I'm sure she did Not the most common thing for a German fraulein, So My mother Would complain about her life And my mother would complain, about my father. Now, imagine some man is on a date with my mother and she complains about her life, being broke, and she complains about my father, right?
[58:58] And let's say that the guy she's on a date with says something like this. Well, um, how long did you, how long did you get to date him before you got married to him? Oh, we dated for like two years before we got married. I'm like, oh, so you had a, you had a long time to figure out who you are. No, he just changed. It's like, no, no, people don't really do that, but not really change that much. I mean, unless he got some sort of weird head injury, in which case there'd be no point blaming him, right? Just be a bad accident. So if a man's date, sorry, if my mom's date were to hold my mother accountable for her choices, how would that date go? Give me your numbers here, my friends. From minus 10 to plus 10, how would that date go? If a man on the date tried to hold my mother accountable for the choices that she made.
[1:00:00] My brother and I are so different. We don't look anything alike. I don't know, man. I would not be surprised if you ever see Princess Diana's writing instructor. Yeah, minus 10,000, minus 11, minus 10. Yeah, she would be absolutely outraged. She would get up. she would yell at him and she would storm out. So he'd be publicly embarrassed. He'd have to pay for the dinner and he wouldn't get any action, so to speak, right? Now, pillows if he was lucky. Pillows if she had residual like for him. More robust cutlery. That would be, he did cause a disturbance. Great tie-in, man. Great tie-in from earlier. Well done. You guys are delightful. Delightful. So, um, Sorry to do nose job, give you a nose job on my show, but it's better than the glistening caves of mucus. Mixer. So.
[1:01:12] So, bitching about men is a reproductive strategy for trashy sex with resentful women who don't take responsibility for their lives. Patriarchy is code. It's girl speak for I'll blame you for everything wrong that happens. Patriarchy is code. It's girl speak for a woman who's telling you openly I'm not going to take responsibility for anything that happens. It's all going to be your fault and you can't hold me accountable for anything. They're promising of this feminism as a whole.
[1:01:53] Feminism as a whole i don't take responsibility like socialist women socialist women i remember being in morocco and there was this um i went uh didn't i didn't uh y2k i did in morocco with a good friend of mine and it was quite a lot of fun actually um and there was this woman i met very attractive woman and she definitely was angling for me but she was a communist and i was.
[1:02:19] Thanks no but i can cut my own balls off if i have to um because a communist is saying i have no free will i have no moral agency everything is circumstantial which means they're going to bounce around like a pinball off their own passions and blame everyone else and the economy and the environment for their own choices i wouldn't date a socialist never dated a communist, and i remember many years ago i had to go for some legal advice in the business world, and uh yeah there was this lawyer and again she was obviously clearly very interested and uh very attractive you know for what it's worth and but she was a socialist and i was like can't make it can't get there can't do it thank you but because that's just setting yourself up for an absolute disaster i've never dated a feminist i've never dated a socialist i've never dated a communist obviously never a fascist or anything like that so no don't do it.
[1:03:25] So, the mating strategy called complain about men to women is filtering out quality women. And you're also saying, I have a bad relationship with my own father, and my conversational preferences are consciously or unconsciously shaped by crappy, trashy, immature women who don't want to take responsibility for anything, and I signal for that by bitching about men. to women. Because when you bitch about men as a whole, or you put down men as a whole, you're saying you yourself don't have a good relationship with your own father, which means you don't have a male on your side who's going to help protect you.
[1:04:15] All right, somebody says, speaking of immaturity, it always bothers me when I run into a 50 or 60 year old woman who is wearing basically high school girls clothing, you know, the type with various shades of hot pink bedazzled clothing yeah with those super skinny uh barbra streisand stick legs age a little gracefully age a little gracefully wait wouldn't it depend on how many chores her date did you guys are funny very funny all right Stef in a recent show you said not to accept free stuff as it will taint your soul does this also apply to being a recipient of religious charity and or a co-worker offering you a ride somewhere or just the government like if someone refuses to allow you to reciprocate should you just hide their money for what they've done for you in their car somewhere or something, Okay.
[1:05:13] Sorry, like, I put you all in the top 1% of intelligence, and this is a dumb question.
[1:05:26] Ah. So when I'm talking about free stuff, I'm talking about the government offering you free stuff through debt and money printing, not even taxes. Debt and money printing. so debt and money printing is the delusion by which the government pretends, to be providing some sort of value you know like if if you're chipping in to buy dinner and some guy throws in counterfeit money he's pretending that he's paying for dinner but he's not he's actually putting you all at legal risk. So, look, fuck. Come on, guys. I'm not talking about people in general. This is just a thing. This is just a thing. Don't accept anything that you didn't pay for. Don't accept anything you didn't pay for, okay? How are you going to survive childhood? I mean, this is just a basic logic thing, right? Could I possibly be saying, don't accept free stuff as it will taint your soul, which means anything you don't directly pay for, is bad for you.
[1:06:45] So, let's say you have a stay-at-home wife, and she raises your kids and runs a bunch of the household stuff and does taxes. Well, you're not charging her for it. She's kind of providing that out of the goodness of her heart. Does that mean that you are corrupting her with your money? Oh, no. Oh, no. The baby didn't pay for the breast milk. Oh, my God. The baby didn't pay for that can of squished carrots the baby's taking free stuff come on man.
[1:07:20] Oh and you're i mean i run a donation-based show freedom.com slash donate to help out the show very much appreciate it, so i don't charge people for my shows i mean i do private calls now but i don't charge people for my shows, and I don't have ads in there. It's donation-based. So, the vast majority of people get my work without paying a penny, which I don't consider exactly morally elevated, but it's a fact that most people consume my show. The vast majority of people consume what we do here and don't pay a penny. That's my business model.
[1:08:06] So, you need to, this is a good object lesson for critical thinking. So, don't go dumb and rubber bones and ask questions without being critical yourself. Don't, don't, like, so here's the thing. If I say...
[1:08:26] If I say, don't accept free stuff because it will taint your soul, does that mean, let's just say, okay, are there any examples of receiving things you don't pay for that could be considered moral, right? This is just your own, right? Don't waste people's time, right? Don't waste people's time. So if you have a thought, because I think this is kind of trollish, right? And I'm not saying you're being a troll it's just kind of trollish because it's such an easy thing to solve right so if you think oh Stef said any free stuff is bad for you so what if you what if somebody is being charitable towards you I mean do you really think since I say please donate donate which is kind of like charity so if I run a show that relies on donations and then I say donations will change your soul well that's a stupid thing to think isn't it like you understand that right like you're literally in a show where people donate and you think that i'm making the argument that donations are bad for you and will destroy your soul and your morals and your virtue.
[1:09:41] Right so so you have to have the discipline in life to criticize yourself before you ask dumb questions, because it's really important that you don't waste people's life don't waste people's time, and when you ask questions particularly in a public square your reputation is going to be established for better or for ill better or for worse very very quickly, thank you for the tip eric kairos says once i started regularly donating i became more reciprocal in all my relationship it matters yes it's true yes it is a very low percentage of listeners who actually donate for sometimes honestly sometimes thousands of hours of material they don't pay a penny i mean i'll survive their own conscience may be not so good We'll be right back.
[1:10:55] No, no, listen, I don't, it's fine that you asked the question. Again, this is just an object lesson, right? So if you have a criticism, right? If you have, I mean, I've told people I donate to charity and so on, and I do. But if you want to say everything you receive that you don't pay for corrupts your soul, that's fine okay so then you have a thesis you have to pay for everything or it corrupts your soul so then this is just a mental exercise so then you'd say okay can i think of any situation where somebody receives something which they didn't pay for directly.
[1:11:43] Is there any situation in which that would be okay now of course we are the first thing that would come to mind is all children all children receive right the why does why does marxists like from each according to their ability to each according to their needs why does that resonate with people because that's the family the family is from each according to their ability right parents work or whatever right to each according to their needs that's the babies the toddlers and the little kids right jared says that was me for the first seven years of listening i'm at about the 50 cents a show mark currently yeah yeah that's a shame it's a shame you won't get those seven years back where you could have so the reason you pay is because it means that you take philosophy seriously because your unconscious is like okay is this just entertaining is his step just yapping in his vaguely foreign accent is he just talk or be taking any of this shit seriously right so if it's like well i'm not going to give him 20 bucks i'm not going to give him 10 bucks a month or 50 bucks or whatever, right? Then your unconscious is like, oh, okay, so it's just noise. Yeah, it's just, you know, it's just a bunch of yapping. It's just a bunch of noise. We don't have to take it seriously. And you can't get those years back that you didn't take philosophy seriously. I can't either, right? So I mean, I have regrets about that for sure.
[1:13:08] So, if you say, well, if you didn't pay for something, is it always bad? Okay, well, we just, I mean, if you take a woman out on a date and you pay for the date, have you automatically corrupted her? If she makes you dinner and doesn't charge you for it, has she automatically corrupted you? I mean, we can all think of things.
[1:13:32] Wherein we've received something without paying for it, which has not been corrupting to us. And then the second thing you do is you would look at the morality of the situation, right? So you would say, okay, if somebody voluntarily chooses to give something to somebody else, does that violate the non-aggression principle? Right? So you're walking down the street and there's some woman in a wheelchair, she's hungry and you give her a sandwich, right? You say hey can you eat the sandwich yes i can eat the sandwich here's your sandwich right okay does what moral rules does that violate, has she initiated the use of force against you no has she uh stolen from you uh no has she violated your property rights in any way no now it could be a fraud right if if she in fact is super wealthy but just does this is a weird kind of fetish right or there was some john stossel thing years ago where this girl said I need bus fare to get home and it turned out she lived three blocks away and was making like two grand a month just begging, right? That's kind of a fraud, right?
[1:14:50] I am in the minority of donators simply because I can't afford it right now doing what I can, keep up the great job. Well, I just, I call bullshit, honestly. I'm not saying you have to donate, but please don't give me this. Like, you know that there's a tier of donation at freedomain.com slash donate, freedomain.com slash donate. There's a tier of donations that is $3 a month. $3 a month. So if you're telling me that you can't afford $3 a month, I don't believe you. Sorry, I just, I don't believe, I refuse to believe you. And I'm, look, I'm not, again, don't donate based on this, right? I just, I want you to know how you sound to somebody with some experience in the world, right? If you say to me, Stef, I can't afford to donate. I cannot afford $3 a month or $5 a month. I can't afford it. Maybe you didn't know about the $3 thing, but it's, you know, local starts out $5 a month. I can't do $5 a month, which means that at the end of the month. You have less than $5 between you and homelessness.
[1:16:11] Now, maybe you genuinely have no money and maybe what you do is you then spread the show elsewhere, right? So if you can't afford it at all, right? If you can't afford it at all, maybe you can just go to places and spread the show and some of the, but I'm just telling you, uh, nobody with an ounce of common sense believes you when you say, I can't afford $3 a month or $5 a month, right? Like nobody's going to believe you. You can say that stuff, but nobody with half, nobody with any brain is going to, uh, believe you. Now, listen, if you are going through hard times, you're worried about your finances and you need to cancel, that's fine. But just don't tell me you can't possibly afford it. I mean, that's just not true. And, you know, it's kind of an insult, right? It's kind of an insult to say that to me, because it's just so obviously not true. I mean, most people have at least one streaming service. Maybe they've got Amazon Prime or they got, you know, they got Netflix or something like that. And what, Netflix is like 24 bucks a month or something like that now. So, and that's fine. I'm not saying that you should cancel Netflix and donate to me, although I wouldn't say no. But if you just said, look, I prefer Netflix to your show, that's fine. I mean, the vast majority of the human population does in fact prefer Netflix to my show. That's fine.
[1:17:33] Right? That's fine. But don't lie to me and say you can't afford it. that's all. Don't, don't lie to me and say that, uh, I can't, I, at the end of the month, I'm left with only one dollar.
[1:17:47] And I couldn't do one coffee out less a month. There's just no possible, I've canceled everything. I'm living on nothing. At the end of the month, I have $2 left. And if I paid you, Stef, $3 a month, I'd end up homeless. Like, I just don't believe that. And nobody with any brains would. So, listen, the important thing is just be honest. Look, the honest thing, the honest truth is, and I'm not bitching or moaning or complaining you about this at all. I'm just telling you the facts are. The facts are you have higher priorities than three bucks a month to me or five bucks a month to me. You have higher priorities. Just be honest about it. Right? Just be honest about it. you have, like, you just have to be honest. Because when you don't tell the truth, particularly in public, your reputation gets harmed.
[1:18:52] But, I mean, look, if it was, I don't know, some crazy 500 bucks a month or something like that, and you said you couldn't afford it, okay, I understand that. But it's not. Three bucks a month or five bucks a month or whatever. So you can afford it, right? You can afford it. Everybody knows that, right? And especially, you know, if it's three bucks a month and let's say you catch one live stream a week, right? Or let's say the only thing you do is one live stream a week. Okay, so the live streams, let's say 90 minutes times four, that is six hours, right? So six hours a month, three bucks, that's 50 cents an hour. Now, most movies are 90 minutes, right? Can you go see a movie for $1.50? Well, when I was a kid, it was 20 cents. I remember my friend and I would calculate this 20 cents on the bus, buck 50 to get in for $1.90. We could go downtown and watch a movie.
[1:19:49] So, if you go to watch a movie, they're what? 12 bucks, 15 bucks or whatever. So, a movie is 10 times the price of philosophy. And I'm sure you've gone to see a movie. Right? I'm sure you've gone to see a movie.
[1:20:12] And again, I'm not just say, just be honest and say, I'd rather go see a movie or I'd rather have a cup of coffee out than pay for philosophy. That's fine i'm not complaining about that that's an on i prefer i just i just want honesty that's all i'm not trying to browbeat anyone i'm not trying to make you feel bad just don't come to a moral philosophy show and lie to the host that's all i'm asking that's all i'm asking and if you do need to cancel your subscription that's totally fine, but don't tell me it's because like if okay let's say you're you you've you've you've no income you've no opportunity to get income and you just need to hoard every every penny okay well i can understand that right because stef did a video on the atari 800 you know what every every sort of five or six years i would go through and and run an atari emulator an 8-bit atari emulator on windows and every now and then i'll get something running and be like holy crap i remember this game holy crap demons winter i remember that game it was great it was great, it was great.
[1:21:30] I think it's fair to assume that if no one donated Stef would probably stop doing his thing why would anyone want to be a part of the people who view Stef but would contribute to him not doing shows anymore. So that's where I donate. Yeah. Do you still read Atlas Shrugged periodically? I think I've read it three or four times. I think I've read it twice and listened to the audiobook twice, but it's been a long time. Thank you, Eric. Yeah, I mean, look, if nobody donated, then I'd have to find another way to have income, right? Obviously, I'd have to do something else, right if no one donated i guess i would just have to do private calls and there'd be no shows, right because gotta have an income got bills right gotta have an income, so i would probably just shift to private uh calls and wouldn't be able to do any shows i wouldn't it would also be kind of depressing right because i would have to read the market signals right and you know in general when the show when there's more donations i'm more enthusiastic and And, you know, sometimes it just kind of happens better, right?
[1:22:43] I don't know Jody Hildebrandt. Thank you for the tip. I don't know the story of Jody Hildebrandt, I'm afraid. I'm sorry. You mentioned it earlier and I looked it up. How much ad rev does Rumble pay you? Oh, virtually nothing. Not their fault. They've got a fine business model, but I just don't have the kind of views that would make a difference that way. And of course, you know, I got de-platformed and so on, right? So that was, it was kind of important to continue to have an income and all of that. But yeah, so if you enjoy the shows, then you should be part of funding them, right? I mean, we're all market economists here, right?
[1:23:37] All right um i got laid off right before my annual membership renewal i canceled the annual one and started a monthly one because of this show absolutely fine now listen if if you are absolutely and i've been in the situation so i really do understand it and i sympathize if so if you're in a situation where you can't spend anything on anything, if you're in that situation totally fine enjoy the show don't pay a penny really don't and don't feel bad don't worry about it enjoy until you get back on your feet but honestly if you're having a coffee out you can afford a couple of bucks that's all.
[1:24:29] Sorry, didn't mean to insinuate I'm destitute, paying off debts right now. My only online subscription is here on Locals, and I don't buy coffee ever. Last time I even went to the theater was over five years ago. I'm just penny pinching right now. Sorry for the confusion. Somebody says, I just spent 10K on silver. Okay, so you can afford it. You can afford it, but you're choosing, and I'm not disagreeing with this choice, but you just need to be honest, right? And this is just a level of rigor that's really important in life. As a whole like the reason i nag you guys to be really honest is because it's just so productive it's just so good for your career it's so good for your relationships it's so good for everything so you can afford it but you're choosing to spend an extra couple of bucks on paying down your debt, rather than subscribe to a show that you enjoy or subscribe more right and that's fine right that's fine All right. To circle back on dating, what are your thoughts on resting bitch face? Oxday recently put out a piece on how getting less than friendly looks is an improvement over them completely ignoring you.
[1:25:46] Um, what are my thoughts on resting bitch face? Oh, so I mean, sure everybody knows, so I'll just touch on it briefly. So resting bitch face is when a woman has to look cold and mean so that men don't approach her all the time.
[1:26:11] So i i don't find it attractive um i i i'm a i'm a big fan of friendliness just as a whole i mean my wife is the kind of woman hi somebody says hi to her on the street hi you know she's like she's just very friendly and and so am i and so am i so i don't have any particular.
[1:26:40] I don't have any particular thoughts on resting bitch face. Generally, I judge people a lot by their friendliness, their body language, their openness, their capacity to smile, and so on.
[1:26:57] The resting bitch face stuff, a lot of times it is just vanity stuff, right? It's like the women who are like, men are just hitting on me all the time. I just can't leave the house without men hitting on me. And nobody ever says, well, what kind of signals are you putting off? And also, um, is that even true, right? Women do a massive amount of damage. I mean, men do damage with, with their desire for status, but women do damage with the vanity, right?
[1:27:26] So a lot of women complain about men hitting on them in order to make themselves appear more attractive to men.
[1:27:35] Men are just hitting on me all the time. And maybe it's signaling to other women how attractive they are. Maybe it's signaling to the alphas how attractive they are. But a lot of it, I don't really believe it as a whole. Um, but even if it is the case that men are hitting on them all the time, um, it's, it's fairly easy to not get hit on too much, right? Like if, if I were to, let's say, let's say, let's just give, give an example here, right? So let's say that, um, I decided in, in some other universe, right? I decide, no, let's not make it me because that's too inconceivable. Let's say Bob. Bob decides to dress in the most expensive possible clothing and have a Rolex, right? And a wallet sticking out like some hump from his butt.
[1:28:30] And he walks up and down the streets in the poorest sections of town.
[1:28:35] Or where there's a lot of beggars or something like that, right? So he's putting out that he's super rich and he's going to where there are a lot of beggars or people who want donations or money or my house. Now, if Bob were then to say, I can't believe the number of people who just keep coming up to me, and wanting me to give them money. What would we say to Bob? Well, one of the things I would say to Bob is like, well, if you find it so unpleasant for people always coming up to you and wanting money from you, maybe you shouldn't wear, you know, $2,000 outfits with a $50,000 Rolex and a giant billfold sticking out of your ass. Maybe. Maybe if you just tone it down a little bit, just tone it down a little bit. Because, you know, if you're going to dress up super wealthy and hang out with a lot of beggars, they're going to kind of swarm you for money because they're kind of trained to know who is wealthy or not, right? I mean, that's the way that, this is why I love being a man, right? This is a.
[1:29:58] This is how men would look at the situation, right? or if a man were to be constantly uh inviting women to yacht parties where there was a bottle service and and i don't know male strippers or something like that and if he would then to say you know women just seem to be mostly interested in me for my money they just women are such gold diggers blah blah blah blah right i mean as a man What would you say to him, Well you'd say to him You know if you don't want Women to be, So interested in your money Maybe just maybe Maybe you could start flashing Your money around all the time, Maybe.
[1:30:51] So, so yeah, the women who are just, men are just hitting on me all the time, and you have no say in the matter, and there's nothing you're doing to influence that outcome, right?
[1:31:04] All right. Why are adult virgins not considered a good thing? If it's good for children to be protected from sex, why isn't it good for adults to be protected from sex? What are you talking about. I don't understand.
[1:31:20] What do you mean? Why are adult virgins not considered a good thing? I don't understand. Maybe somebody can clarify this for me. Are you saying that an 18-year-old woman who's a virgin is considered bad? That's a negative thing. Is that right? Are you saying that a woman who's a virgin and who's 18 is really um this is a huge negative and she's just looked down upon i don't i don't understand that, i mean adult is a long way from 18 to 88 right that's a it's a cozy chunk of year right? Right? That's a cozy chunk. I mean, that's a cozy chunk of years, right? I mean, we're talking 70 years, almost three quarters of a century. So if you're going to say adult, virgins are considered negative. Are you talking about that 18 year old or are you talking about a 40 year old? Well, a 40 year old virgin is a weirdo. Even a 30 year old virgin is kind of weird because it indicates significant romantic and sexual dysfunction.
[1:32:47] And these days, for sure, if let's say that you are a 25-year-old male and you haven't dated for, I don't know, seven years, what is the first thing a woman thinks of if she looks at a man who hasn't dated in seven years when he's a young, healthy man? What is the first concern that she has? The first concern that she has is he's a rampant pornography addict.
[1:33:21] Which means he's most likely to have erectile dysfunction and strange tastes and no particular capacity to get the emotional connection or romance of sex or anything like that.
[1:33:36] So, there's red flags all over the place. It either means that he doesn't particularly feel a lot of lust or a lot of passion or a lot of desire and if he doesn't feel much lust or passion or desire he can't pair bond because pair bond is lust passion and desire set in concrete for your lifespan so she's not going to be interested in him because he's not particularly passionate um or he's getting his sexual needs met with prostitutes or pornography or something like that or he's got a sexually transmitted disease that maybe if he didn't even get it through sex or uh there's just something weird that's going on.
[1:34:34] A man can be a virgin because he's not enough of a predator oh come on give me that crap Alex Jesus, so your basic choice is incel or predator, so you're either a nice guy or who has no needs and has no charisma and can't ask girls out and can't make them laugh or you're a predator.
[1:35:11] That's excellent. Oh dear, oh dear. That's sad, man. Please don't tell your son that. Well, son, you either don't talk to women or you're a mountain lion who eats their boobs off. Oh my gosh, yeah it's um it's a bad scene yeah don't don't don't do this uh don't do this thing, incels in general missed a turnoff of asking girls out and rather than up their skills they turned to pornography in general right, In general. They simp and cuck too much for women, so they can't lead anywhere or in any way, which means they're not going to give women the confidence that women need to surrender themselves to a man.
[1:36:17] And whatever you do, do not look up the number of women who have violent sexual fantasies. Do not look up the number of women who have violent sexual fantasies. Your life may never be the same. I mean, you kind of suspect it with Fifty Shades of Grey, but your life may never, in fact, be the same. All right. Any other last questions? I've never watched porn. It doesn't turn me on at all. Well that's just a lie, it's just a lie I've never watched porn but I sure know for sure it doesn't turn me on do you not even notice the rank contradiction there, I've never ever watched a sunrise I don't like the sunrises that I've seen.
[1:37:16] Good virtue signaling bro, oh dear oh those people in pornography they just they just look foolish and silly and it's just so animalistic it's not at all sensual, i've never eaten pizza i don't find it tasty at all, i didn't mean literally oh so you said something and now you're complaining that what you said was interpreted exactly as you said it, yeah do not read an is nin do not read my secret garden do not read 50 shades of gray you may never emerge, sane or you certainly will emerge with the idea that women are shrinking innocent violets, can we get another five minutes Stef or are you needing rest well i'm a little tired but hey man if you need another five minutes i mean i did nag you a bit about donating so i feel it's fair to give you another five minutes sure you have another another question hit me up hit me up.
[1:38:34] Two and two makes five. Well, I didn't mean that literally. Okay. See, if you, this in general, if I, if people, if people misinterpret what I say, I try not to nag them. Right. So let's say I put out a tweet, like back in the day, I put out a tweet and everyone, even people I like, everyone, misinterprets what I'm saying. Do I get mad at other people, or do I say, ooh, I missed the boat on that one. I should try again. I'm sorry I got things wrong. My bad. Let me be more clear. Or as opposed to, I didn't mean that literally. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. that you might not want to get mad at people if everyone misinterprets what you're saying then you just communicate it badly and look it happens i do it you do it everyone does it but and this is this is a this is a big sort of life lesson it's a good relationship lesson.
[1:39:49] I haven't blinked for three days what are you carless danger, uh yeah so if if if you get quote misinterpreted and then you immediately get mad at the other person you're probably not going to be much fun to be in a relationship with isn't it scary that the oldest person on the planet is only about twice your age yeah i'm not going to make it that far i mean that's a real anomaly right i'm not going to make it that far right i mean i'm way past the halfway mark right i mean that would be to get to 116 years old there's no way i hope to make it to my mid to late 80s and that gives me another 30 years or so which you know if i look back 30 years i was when i was 28 to 58 was pretty eventful and full of piss and vinegar and if i get another 30 years and obviously i'm aiming to stay as healthy as possible so all right will there be an Izzy episode soon. Yes. Yes. But, uh, we actually went, uh, on a university tour, uh, just yesterday. We went on a university tour. Very exciting.
[1:41:09] Very exciting. All right. Yes, so we are looking to do... I'll put out questions tomorrow. We need to do a show for a while. Somebody says, should I prepare or rehearse for an interview or is it better to just be spontaneous and do something adventurous right beforehand? No, you should prepare and rehearse.
[1:41:30] Please cryogenically freeze yourself. Have we seen any terrible movies lately to review? I um i got my family to watch and it wasn't the easiest thing godzilla versus king kong i'm just a suck i'm a sucker for cgi i just am i just love it i love it and um giant monsters fighting in rivers uh is really something so we did get to watch that and that was uh that was uh quite vivid quite vivid and usually there's at least one charming funny actor and there was two in this one right black guy and a white guy but no we haven't uh we haven't been watching any movies did you tear up at all touring the uni with your daughter no i mean look it's it's the right time it's the right time did you ever consider donating sperm um i guess i thought about it when i was younger but post-cancer i don't think people will i certainly can't donate i used to donate blood all the time but i don't do it anymore because i had a blood-borne form of cancer right so.
[1:42:41] What subject is Izzy interested in feminist studies perhaps um she's very interested in business, if I may ask you say I need to stay strong are you robbing people of freedom to force food coloring and artificial sweetness from food are you robbing people of freedom to force food coloring and artificial sweeteners from food. What the ever-loving fuck are you talking about? I don't know what that means at all. Do you think I'm going around well-armed and knocking Diet Cokes out of people's hands? What major malfunction is going on in your brain? No, Izzy's like, can I just have one normal experience? That's fair. Totally fair. Totally fair.
[1:43:32] All right uh okay i think i did my uh my five minutes um okay well listen i really do appreciate everyone's um support tonight if you value the show and you like what i do help uh give my spirits the wings of a dove at freedomain.com slash donate this stream has been a blast well thank you i appreciate that some pretty good donations tonight and much though i'd love to be absolutely independent of the audience freddie did his best work freddie said i can only sing as well as the audience wants me to and it's always stuck with me that the quality of what i do is very innately bound up not just with donations but with the quality of the questions, The idea of making America healthy, you can't force them to eat healthy. What you can do is push to remove artificial ingredients from people's food. I don't speak English. Sorry. Well, yeah, so there's lots of food ingredients that are banned worldwide, but only available in America. And there's lots of people who say, you know, I went to Italy and I ate all the food I wanted and it was great and I had no problems and I lost weight. Now, of course, they're usually walking all day as well, but it's more than just that. So there is this general idea that America is sort of uniquely positioned in the world to have shit chemicals in their food. And I mean, go to America, man, go to America or look online and go look at the ingredients in bread. It's half a fucking encyclopedia.
[1:44:56] So it's not just going to force people to eat healthy, but can you, like they just removed this food dye number, the red food dye, because apparently it's bad for you and it's banned in a lot of places. They finally banned it in America. I mean, you understand that like arsenic is banned. You can't feed people arsenic because you'll kill them and you'll go to jail for murder. So is that wrong to ban people from poisoning each other? In a free society, would dangerous additives be allowed in food? No. The DROs wouldn't allow it because it would be too expensive so no i don't i don't i don't understand what what you're trying to say i mean i get holding a gun to someone's head so they eat broccoli i don't, yeah soybean oil and bread it's insane.
[1:45:56] I mean, the amount of allergies and gluten intolerance and lactose intolerance and all of that, it's crazy, right? Why is there a sourdough craze? Because salt, flour, water, yeast equals bread. Yeah, well, sourdough is God's gift to make up for taxes and aging. You know, if somebody said to me, you'll never pay taxes and you'll live forever, but no sourdough, I got to tell you, man, be a tough call. Be a tough call bread is chemistry lab leftovers here yeah yeah there's a sourdough grace because people want a reason to get out of bed in the morning and sourdough is about as good as you can get i love this old uh there's an old scott adams cartoon where scott adams i mean very intelligent uh a brilliant guy obviously uh and a great analyst of political things he can't do stand-up to save his life, but he's hilarious on paper, and he had an old one. It's like morning amnesia, nature's way to have you not wake up screaming. Oh yeah, fresh-baked sourdough with gobs of butter. I mean, if there were monasteries that only fed that, again, I love my wife, but.
[1:47:22] Yeah i i can't uh i i can't give up that stuff man i just can't and all my ancestors all evolved on bread so don't give me the shit that it's just bad for you my ancestors would never have made it without bread, oh bread is peasant food only meat for the king yeah yeah that's right because i want to get, elephant leg gout like henry the eighth right fantastic given own someone with gout my god like somebody with a creatine overdose it's horrendous, sure but have superhuman strength because they mostly eat butter is that right, uh thank you for the correction and clarification after i sent the man-child question sending a tip thank you very much i appreciate that all right so i am officially now out of juice i need to go pass out for a little while. And I hope that you have a wonderful evening. I love and thank you all for your great questions. Please don't feel bad if I rag on you about a question. If it's any consolation, I'm just as harsh with myself when I say silly things, which I do. So I really do appreciate everybody's input and feedback.
[1:48:33] Love you all to death. Thank you so much for a lovely evening of philosophy. And we will talk to you Friday night. Lots of left, freedomain.com slash call to help out, freedomaine.com slash donate. Oh, sorry, to get a call-in show, freedomaine.com slash donate to support the show. I appreciate that, everyone.
