In this episode, we dive deep into a variety of topics that encompass the intricacies of societal norms, personal relationships, and economic realities. I discuss the revelations from my social media review, where the absurdity and genius of viral content often leave me astounded. We explore how our brains interpret and process information, especially regarding humor and the cultural implications embedded within it. I emphasize the nature of escalating humor and its value in difficult conversations, as well as the sheer joy of play via card games like "Cheat" and the nostalgic connections they evoke.
Transitioning from lighthearted subjects, we shift gears to discuss the pressing issue of risk management in childhood development. Through the lens of modern playgrounds and parenting styles, I critique the trend of overprotective parenting that stunts children’s ability to engage with real-world risks. I make a compelling analogy between the financial decisions we make as adults and the risks we manage as children, specifically referencing how an entire generation is being raised indoors and deprived of essential learning experiences that foster resilience. This notion intertwines with discussions on the generational dynamics of the workplace, as I draw parallels between parenting styles and economic behaviors in decisions like embracing Bitcoin or relying on fiat currencies.
Moving into personal relationships, I tackle the topic of shared financial burdens and dating dynamics through a lens of practicality and emotional intelligence. I share insights from a listener's dilemma regarding financial equity in a long-term relationship and how the expectations around money can strain personal bonds. I advocate for mutual generosity and highlight the necessity of reciprocity in partnerships, using personal anecdotes to underscore the transformative potential of embracing an abundance mindset in love and financial matters.
The conversation takes a sharper turn toward exploring historical notions of male privilege, primarily through the lens of economic production and family structures. I discuss the social contract versus economic independence, urging listeners to critically evaluate societal constructs concerning women’s roles, privilege, and economic realities. Citing examples from contemporary society where women are financially reliant yet dismiss traditional expectations, I express disdain for the disconnect in relationship dynamics where long-term partners remain in a limbo of financial parity without future commitment.
As we delve into the economic implications of Bitcoin and fiat currencies, I confront the challenges of transitioning from traditional investments to cryptocurrencies, shedding light on the volatility and risk inherent in such shifts. I argue that understanding these financial instruments requires a robust comprehension of socioeconomic contexts, which many fail to see due to the fear of disruption.
This thought-provoking narrative culminates in a candid critique of modern dating culture and the evolving perceptions of attraction and connection between genders. I reflect on the societal pressures that influence both men and women, emphasizing the behavioral changes that have led to negative perceptions in the dating world. By exploring personal anecdotes and societal feedback, I illustrate how the communication breakdowns and misaligned expectations in today’s relationships often stem from deep-rooted feminist ideologies and the impacts they have on interpersonal dynamics.
Throughout this multifaceted discussion, I challenge listeners to reconsider their understanding of relationships, risk, and societal roles. This episode serves as a call to action for self-reflection, urging individuals to reclaim agency in their personal lives and to foster environments where meaningful relationships can thrive amidst societal changes.
[0:00] Well, good morning, everybody. This is Stefan Molyneux from Freedomain.
[0:03] It's time for our social media review. And this, I can't believe. I mean, what an absolutely glorious and genius waste of time. I had no idea why these people were showing up on my feed until... Okay, okay, okay. We'll be starting to start this. Let him see, season 2 of my life, after nothing, leave me, so I don't have a cat on my bike.
[0:39] Don't be reason, don't be love. Don't you say me either. I don't know what I do, I don't know what I do. I'm falling asleep, I don't know what I'm doing too. I'm falling asleep. I'm falling asleep. I'm gonna... I don't know. Yeah, that's just absolutely astounding and astonishing. I don't hugely love the song. I mean, the whole band is completely satanic, but that is something else. I guess the real challenge is, can you get the song just from looking at the names? But it's amazing. It's also amazing how the brain, when you read something, the brain will translate it into what you're hearing. And that's really something as well. So I just thought that was just glorious. Now, for those of you who don't know, not that you would particularly care, but I'm a pretty huge fan of escalating humor. To me, there is no part of humor, if it works, that can go too far. So here we go. This is your Zuno game. I'm not sure why he's got your maps. That's excellent. You can't go too far. Can you go too far?
[1:56] You cannot go too far. Oh my gosh. See, now that's something. It is... I call it the hand cramp. You know, when you're playing a game where you're supposed to discard your cards, you end up with too many cards and your hand starts cramping. It's painful. Or the bleated cry from the paterfamilias of the environment. Wait, I'm still organizing my cards. That is something else. Cheat is a great game. if you haven't played that with just regular cards but you know it's fun too um this this arouses within me uh pure viking memories um this is where you would uh.
[2:39] This is where you would pound mead with your burly bearded buddies before going out to disassemble the planet and rearrange it in various ways. I actually feel a deep yearning for if, and of course, naturally, I sent this to my wife, saying Merry Christmas to me. I'm fingers crossed, but not very much crossed. I don't know that it would fit with our general decor, because if you're married and your wife has great taste, and of course, how could you complain about her taste?
[3:10] If you're married, she married to you, right? So you get a little bit on the female side of the decor. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that. But this would butch up things quite a bit. I mean, yesterday I just picked up my car from the shop and the guy had to lead me through the tool and repair area in order to because it was parked out back or whatever right and i was just like oh man i feel more manly my chest hair is growing just coming back through all these tools it's so manly and then i let out a rather girly shriek when i noticed a couple of laptops with a massive amounts of dust all over them like oh no that's terrible so i think i may have just estrogen this up a little bit but doesn't that oh look at that pound mead make ship go overseas bring back mead anyway, there you go there's your Christmas okay, from the slightly less enjoyable part here.
[4:22] Yeah, violence works, Violence works at the expense of trust. Violence works at the expense of trust. No. Smack. Violence works at the expense of trust. Look at that face. That's the bond being broken. All right. Gen A. McDonald's playgrounds. The Gen Alpha McDonald's playground. That is the saddest little thing. I like those death. I could go back to time with my daughter. 1920s playgrounds that are basically circus but this is really sad and this is a playground, women are a little bit more risk averse except when it comes to dating they have no amygdala whatsoever this is so, playgrounds for men are like well it has to be exciting enough the gin alpha mcdonald's playground it has to be exciting enough that, kids will want to go there and play because that way they get strong, they exercise, and they learn how to manage their own risk, right? All the at-home kids who are just learning to manage risk by playing video games, well, they're not learning how to manage risk at all because there are no particular risks in video games. You need to learn how to manage physical risk in order to have a safe life.
[5:48] And this stay home, it's a lot of moms, some men, some fathers too, but a little bit more moms just sort of managing their own anxiety by having their kids inside and at home. Well, I know where they are. I don't have to worry. It's like, well, life is not about you worrying. Life is learning how to manage risk, which is why you're getting all of these people. It's very convenient for the powers that be, of course, that you have all of these people in the world who have no idea how to manage risk. You have no idea how to manage risk. It's kind of interesting to me, and it would be interesting to see if there's a correlation between people who understand Bitcoin and people who got to play outside. Because a Bitcoin is a way of managing risk.
[6:33] And to me, the analogy is that staying inside to manage your risk is like trusting fiat currency as a store of value. Well, it's familiar, seems kind of safe, it's what I'm used to, but it actually is extremely, extremely dangerous. So yeah, this is very sad. This is very sad. All right, boyfriend says he will make me split bills if he's making 300K and I'm making 50K. Right now, I'm by boyfriend of 10 years. Oh, God, that's just so sad. Boyfriend of 10 years. Oh, wretch, wretch, wretch, wretch. A boyfriend is a job applicant for marriage. A boyfriend is a job applicant for marriage. So as a hiring guy, right? I've interviewed like 1,000 people, hired like 100 people over the course of my career. And I would say I only had to fire a couple of those people. So I had like a 95%, 97% success rate. I'm pretty good. I was pretty good at that stuff.
[7:36] But the way that it works is, or the way it's supposed to work is, a date is a job application, and dating is your trial period. So the way that it worked the way that it works in a lot of companies or at least it used to is, that you would you would be on probation right so for the first three months when I hired people back in the day for the first three months we kind of had an agreement that if they didn't like the job they could leave and if we didn't like them for whatever reason then we could fire of them. Now, after that, then things got more formal and so on. So there was this kind of a, it's called being on probation. You get this in universities to academic probation and so on. So dating is a job interview.
[8:31] And sorry, a date is a job interview. Dating is being on probation. So this idea that you'd be like, well, right now, I've been working for this company for 10 years, I'm still on probation. They haven't committed to hiring me permanently. Oh, that's sad. I mean, where's your pride? For God's sakes. All right. Right now, my boyfriend of 10 years makes 115K. I make 47K. And bills are split evenly, except for a 37 discount per week in exchange for one extra hour of housecleaning up my partner. Oh, my God. Oh, this is so horrifying. Oh, all successful relationships. You throw everything. I mean, all successful relationships. You throw everything into it and see what comes back.
[9:15] And generosity is incredibly liberating. You just have to make sure that you keep an eye on reciprocity. That's all it comes down to. So one girlfriend I had many years ago had a passion project, and I funded it.
[9:33] And then I said, oh, okay, now we've done your passion project, which I funded, because it's what you wanted to do for her life. I'm like, oh, maybe you could read through one of my novels and help me out, and she just kept hedging and hedging, right? And I said, well, why, you know, I did your passion project. Why aren't you helping me out with my novel? She's like, well, you're just not motivating me to. And I'm like, okay, well, so then that was it, right? Generosity is liberation. So I'm a big fan of, you know, offer to pay, offer to pay, and be generous and be accommodating and be helpful. And then the moment I found a woman who reciprocated that, boom, married, baby, 22 years. Next month. So it's perfect. So this idea that I'm going to give 1%, see if you give 1% more, this hedging stuff. Nope, no, no. Be generous, in my humble opinion. Be generous. And it's an investment in security. Because if you're generous and then somebody else is stingy back, you can move on and you don't have to get dragged through family court. So, all right. So she says, I thought about it and feel like it would be better for things to be more proportional so we could live a similar lifestyle.
[10:46] That's a great way of saying, I want to get paid more for having sex. Women have so many different words for this. I've been going to food banks to afford rent in Seattle where he insists on living because it gives him access to a high-paying job, tech job, and his family and friends are close by. I have no friends. My family lives states away. My monthly rent is $1,600 after the $150 a month discount in exchange for cleaning. What? Oh, 150. Yeah, okay, sorry, that's right. Which is financially irresponsible given my income level we split. The test. The test of the utilities? Right down the middle. We are already living a different lifestyle. He spends hundreds of dollars on Jim. Membership Eatsman, for instance, which isn't in my budget.
[11:32] So, yes, men make more money. Why? Why do men make more money? Because men fund families. Men pay for families. Why does a man give his wife and his children the vast majority of his income? Because in return, he gets a family. Someone's got to pay access because kids aren't economically productive.
[12:02] Childbearing women, breastfeeding women, toddler raising children are not economically productive. So somebody, and this is the privilege, the privilege of men, right? Everybody says, oh, well, men have all this privilege. It's like, why did women not have bank accounts in the past? Well, because women were busy having and raising children and doing the old continuation of culture that makes life worthwhile. And also because women could not be held legally liable or accountable for paying the bills of a family. Only a man could. And this is privilege, right? This is privilege, boys. This is privilege. You get to go to war and 90% of your income goes to your wife and kids who don't have to be out there battling others in the workplace to earn the filthy lucre required to continue the species. That's your privilege, boys. A workhorse and a soldier privilege.
[12:55] So, yeah, it's just really sad. So this woman wants her boyfriend. She wants her boyfriend's money, but isn't producing children. Well, that's a hack. That's just pillaging something that nature set up in terms of man's productivity and dedication to labor. She wants the money.
[13:19] But she doesn't want to give him the children or have the children with him. Well, I mean, that's just pathetic. On both of their parts, right? If this guy's making good money, go make some babies. If this woman wants half or more of his income, she can get 90% of his income, but she's got to have to have kids. Instead, you know, boyfriend of 10 years, so I assume they're in their 30s, right?
[13:45] So after... After 15 years in the workplace, she's making $47,000. And she would rather do that than have some beautiful babies and raise them. Oh, it's just so sad. Ah, yes. When it comes to risk, this is what I mean by risk, right? 80% of all dollars in the U.S. were created in the last five years. Look at that line. Look at that line. If people can't process that risk, it meant that they were forced to play indoors. They never learned how to assess risk out there in the real world, which can be dangerous. But there is no elimination of danger. If you eliminate danger in the moment, you increase danger later on for kids, right? Now, of course, you want a bell curve of danger. You don't want too little. You don't want too much. But children have to be able to learn how to manage risk and also injury to others, right? But this is partly what play fighting is all about, is learning how to manage your aggression. You know, like when my friend's sons come in for the play fight, I'm like, great, let's do it, right? And then you have to learn how to be aggressive. This is partly what sports are about, too. This is why you are very aggressive and then shake hands afterwards. That's a preparation for mercy in war, which you hope is going to be reciprocal.
[15:13] But you go in hard with your play fighting, and then every now and then, someone gets injured, someone cries, and you're like, oh, it went too far, I didn't manage my aggression. And the women are all like, oh, this play fighting is so loud. And it's like, okay, do you really want men to grow up, boys to grow up into men with no idea how to handle their own aggression? That's not good for society. So safety now is danger later. Danger later is safety now. Now, and I'm trying to think, so most of the people I knew, most of the people I knew who ended up getting into Austrian economics, which is the gateway drug or the yellow brick road to Bitcoin, yellow to orange transition, they grew up in the wilds. They grew up in anarchy. They grew up having to make up their own games, roaming the neighborhood. So apparently this, you see this, this is not risky, but boy, Bitcoin is, right? So this is the number of dollars printed. And recently, this has been Bitcoin's price, right? this sort of graph. All right. So this woman, Mary Talley Bowden, she's a doctor. She says, I spoke to Dr.
[16:22] John Little today and we're both seeing a large number of patients who need but refuse conventional medical treatment because they've lost all trust in medicine. Without transparency plus accountability, we have no hope of restoring trust. And I feel for the doctors, right? I mean, these licensing boards for doctors, which were never demanded by.
[16:43] Patients or the population as a whole. It was just a kind of state-run scam to limit entrance into the workplace for doctors. So yeah, if you didn't follow the particular recommendations, you got in trouble. Now you can't apologize, so you might get in trouble. So it's a horrible line or thread that people have to tread in this kind of stuff. There may be some transparency. I mean, obviously the Pfizer docs are out and Naomi Wolf and her team of magic data elves is pulling the pieces apart for that in very heroic and productive ways. But accountability? No, it's not. It's not going to happen. It's not going to happen. All right. Notorious Bitcoin hater. Nouriel Rubini is possibly annoyed with Bitcoin price over 100K. When asked whether he's rethought his position on Bitcoin, so what does he say? It's interesting. You've had a big move in Bitcoin over the last month or so.
[17:41] Had a big move over the last several years. Have you rethought the way you think about what's happening, Kit? Not really. I mean, okay, so this is interesting. So when people make predictions and they get those predictions wrong.
[17:57] They should be called out on what they misinterpreted. And this is a humility thing too. I mean, I've made a bunch of predictions over the years. If I get a prediction wrong.
[18:13] Then it is incumbent upon me not to be caught out or cornered, but to say, gee, what did I get wrong? What did I, in what way was my model incorrect, right? And when people are wrong and don't admit it, they're either vainglorious or there's some weird legal reason why they can't sort of admit fault or whatever, right?
[18:45] So I can't tell you how much my respect for people falls when I see them being wrong about something and then not saying, well, you know, I still don't believe in crypto, but here's what I got wrong. Here's what I misunderstood. Here's, you know, blah, blah, blah, right? But no. Okay. And people talk about Bitcoin being a cryptocurrency like the other ones, but they're not really currencies. Ah, okay. So they're not really currencies. So then the question is, it's a fine question, the question then, if you say, X does not fit into this conceptual category, right? A tree is not an animal. A rock is not a cloud. Okay. Bitcoin is not a currency. Well, then you need to define what a currency is. And the general way, I don't know what this guy does, but in general, is that a hair transplant? That's a suspicious hairline. Anyway, so what people do is they say, well, Bitcoin is not a currency, you see. Why? Why is Bitcoin not a currency? Because, you see, a currency is that mandated by the government that's in common use. That's what a currency is. Which is like saying, well, education is government education. Roads are government roads. And currency is that dictated by the government, required to pay your taxes.
[20:09] That is in common use? It's like, well, of course it's in common use. It's mandated. It's mandated.
[20:17] So anyway, let's see what he has to say. They're not a unit of account. They're not a scalable means of payment. They're not a stable store of value. Ah, a stable store of value. Ah, they're not a stable store of value. So the fact that Bitcoin has gone up 99.9% against gold over the last decade or so, the fact that it's accumulated over the last five to six years, 99% increase in value versus real estate means it's unstable. Oh my God. As opposed to the dollar losing 98% of its value since over the last century or so. Apparently that's stable, you see. A currency, the fiat currency, government decreed, a fiat currency that is used to fund war, that is used to leverage debt against the next generation and create hundreds of trillions of dollars, hundreds of trillions, not billions, trillions of dollars of unfunded liabilities. That is stable. But a currency that increases in value is not stable.
[21:25] So i want you to think of two guys bob and doug now bob over the last 10 years has lost 50 of his health hit points gone from 20 to 10 he's down 50 of lung volume he's lost one lung like what one kidney he's lost 50 of his health over the last 10 years now i want you also to look at a healthy baby that was born 10 years ago who's now 10 years old, right? And in incredibly robust health. Can run like the wind, can do gymnastics and so on, right? So you've got a guy, over the last 10 years, he's lost 50% of his health, And a baby has grown like a wildflower, has grown like the wind, and is incredibly healthy.
[22:17] So if you look at these two, from a biological standpoint, which one is more stable? Well, the guy who over 10 years has lost 50% of his health is more, quote, stable than the baby who's grown to the age of 10.
[22:31] Because, I mean, if you want to take it 15 years, that's even better, because then we hit puberty and all of that, right? So 15 years, guy's lost 50% of his health, 15 years. The baby has gone from being born to being six feet tall, right? Whereas the height of the guy who's dying hasn't really changed at all. His weight probably hasn't fluctuated enormously. But the baby went from like eight pounds to 160 pounds. That's wildly unstable. so the the dying guy is more stable than the baby who's grown to near adulthood, this stability thing is like ah what could you say single numerate uh bitcoin in the past went to 17 down then to 16 now it's above 100 you could have another 50 correction, yeah they say this thing correction is correction to me is a very suspect word, so uh yes a a currency or let's say a a store of value a technology an asset let's say so an asset that goes against the everybody's general mode of thinking that challenges an entire conception of the way things are is going to be unstable table.
[23:56] Any asset that rises in value quickly is going to have some instability, particularly if it's a giant unknown like Bitcoin, an unknown for most people. To understand the value of Bitcoin, you have to face the horrors of fiat currency and state control of money and interest rates. It is shocking, right? And it alienates, right? You have to pop out of the matrix, It alienates you from the general thinkers and so on, right? So, of course, there's going to be instability because people also have to live, right? So when there's a big price uptick in the past, people would sell because they have to live. And part of the reason they have to live is they have to pay their taxes and they have to pay their bills. And generally, that has to be done in fiat currency because it's an early technology. It's not correction. A correction is, well, here's the correct price. It went too high. And this is just anti-Austrian economics, which to me is anti-good economics, right? There is no correct price for anything. Price gouging, it's overinflated. It's a correction, which is to say that there is some ideal price for something. There's no ideal price for something, right? How much are you going to pay for a bottle of water when you're not thirsty? Zero. How much will you pay for a bottle of water in the desert when you're about to die? Well, everything you have.
[25:18] So what is the correct price for a bottle of water well there isn't one, this idea that there's some theoretical correct platonic it's a platonic correct price that is exists independently of people's needs and preferences and demands anyway so, so it's a speculative asset like meme stocks or sparks and others highly volatile many people are going to it but don't take el salvador the force everybody's used bitcoin as legal tender and less than 1% of all transactions occurring in Bitcoin. So.
[25:50] So, less than 1% of transactions in El Salvador. Now, I don't think in El Salvador you can pay your taxes in Bitcoin, but that would seem to be somewhat important. Because if you have a legal requirement to convert Bitcoin to cash, to fiat for the purpose of paying taxes and so on, I don't exactly know.
[26:13] If the government demands you buy something, then that which competes with that something is going to be more volatile and harder to grow. So I don't think it's going to ever become a currency, but it's going to be a speculative asset. One thing the dollar is depreciated against is Bitcoin. And I think this is where I would see some separation between what's happening with mean coins and mean stocks and what is happening with Bitcoin. There seems to be a preference. There are market participants who believe that this is a place to be if you're worried about the depreciation of the US dollar and a fiscal trajectory of the United States of America. Do you see a case for it there? Okay, so the only way that you can make a case, against Bitcoin as a hedge against fiat currency inflation is to say, well, no, because here's how the debt's going to be paid off. Here's how the deficit is going to be narrowed. Here's how the unfunded liabilities are going to be funded, right? The only way is you have to say, here's a path forward for, let's say, the US dollar, right? It could be any currency. Here's the path forward. Here's how it's going to be saved, right? Okay. So the only way to save the US dollar or any dollar is instability. Right? This is the Ron Paul spearheaded Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, Department of Government Efficiency. Really just genius marketing move. It's just astonishing how good Elon Musk is at these things.
[27:33] And so if they want to cut significant portions of US spending, right? There's a whole bunch of mandated things, which is very tough to overturn. But if they want to cut a bunch of spending, only 6% of federal workers come into the office on a regular basis. That's crazy, right? So they have all this real estate, right? So the only way to save the U.S. dollar is through instability.
[27:59] The only way to avert a slow decline is instability. You have to disrupt the system. You have to disrupt the system. If a plane runs out of power, it can glide for a while, and the only way it's not going to land hard is if something is disrupted, something has changed, something refuels it in midair. There's a massive updraft. At some point, gravity is going to win out in the long run for sure.
[28:26] Or everyone has to jump out of the plane. So something has to change. If there's a slow decline. And that change is going to cause instability in the system. So if they cut 10% of government spending, then that's going to cause massive instabilities in the economic system. So the idea that a slow decline is preferable to any instability, if you've got a cancer and that cancer is going to kill you, then you have to take some treatment or some path or some approach that's going to destabilize things because a slow decline anyway i think you get it not really because actually sorry i apologize for that that was a little rude i think you get it what i mean is i think i'm over explaining it let me sort of be more clear it's not that you don't get it i'm over explaining it sorry about that and the fed was uh essentially rising rates and inflation was higher bitcoin was falling like in 22 as there was a stock market correction and now the stocks are going higher and the fed is easing and inflation has fallen bitcoin is going higher again so So, historically, it's not been a hedge against inflation. So, the fact that stocks are going higher does not solve the problem of the U.S. national debt.
[29:38] What can they do? Actually, it looks like, you know, even if they taxed 100% of every billionaire's wealth and assets, they could fund the government for like a couple of months. So, he's not talking about how the debt is going to be solved. And to me, anyone who's not talking about the national debt has zero credibility in economic matters. They're just telling people to stay on the Titanic, in my view. Highly correlated positively with stocks and better relative to the equity market. So it's not a traditional hedge like gold that is. Ah, you see, this is... Ah, this guy's great. Oh, what can I say? You know, the internet is not the traditional method of delivering messages, which would be the Pony Express, or smoke signals, or maybe even the post office, if that's not considered too new and too radical. Oh, my God. This guy's wearing glasses. You know, glasses are not nature's traditional way of having you see. It's like, yeah, okay, I agree. But you're wearing glasses. A lot of newfangled new technology. New stuff is not traditional. New is different from old. What has not been here before was not here before. Bitcoin is radically new. Therefore, it is not traditional. I am very wise.
[31:07] Periods of time of inflation rising or debasement or worries about the dollarization. So it's something to me looks like speculative assets is highly correlated with equity. So it's not a hedge against inflation. You've had a big move in Bitcoin over the last month. I'm not talking about this guy in particular, but these sort of smooth talking financial guys who say blindingly obvious things. Bitcoin is not traditional. That's great. Oh, Steve Harvey. All right. Yo, damn.
[31:34] Keep your damn mouth shut this is like how to um how to win in marriage how to get ahead in marriage, just shut up that's right don't don't say nothing it's best don't say nothing there ain't no trying to fix that way you ain't got to fix what if you're right what okay so this is this is a happy wife happy life stuff oh it's so wretched talk about the cucking and emasculation of any male authority. And by authority, I don't mean dominance. I just mean respect, right? This is absolutely appalling. Now, of course, people on the left, in general, want female supremacy because women in general, particularly single women, vote left.
[32:20] And we all need authority. We all need authority. I have my authority. I have reason, philosophy, evidence, feedback from the net. I have my wonderful wife and daughter who help keep me on the straight and narrow. I have my own kind. Like we all need authority. Otherwise, we're just untrammeled, narcissistic, dominant will. So we all need authority. And one of the reasons why people on the left like stripping male authority is that people will gravitate to an authority. If they don't have a personal authority in their life, then they will gravitate to the government and the government will become their authority.
[32:57] So we as a social species, we have socialized our conscience, right? So you've heard this a million times in my call-in shows where someone doesn't know what's going wrong in their life, but an outside eye, it's just easier to see. It's just easier to see. All social creatures socialize essential operations of consciousness. It's why we have eyes in the front of our head, because we're supposed to have people watching our backs, right? So we don't need eyes in the back of our head because we've socialized that. So we use somebody else's eyes and substitute for our own.
[33:30] So if you don't have authority in your life, you will gravitate towards a state authority. And that's why the removal of authority for women, right? And again, I'm not talking about, it seems kind of pathetic and ridiculous, sorry, to hedge this up. I'm not talking about anyone being bossy. I'm just talking about genuine authority. Like my wife has authority in certain areas of my life. If she says, do it, I do it. Right? She's really good at these things. She cares about me. So she has authority. And there's other areas where I have authority. So yeah, remove authority. Remove male authority from women's life. They gravitate to the state. So he says, how could you possibly be right? You can't be right as a man. Now, Steve Harvey is an incredibly charismatic, charming, funny, and brilliant guy. Like he's been, I don't know exactly, I think he's been an actor. But certainly he's been a talk show host and he's very funny at that. He's been a comedian and he started from nothing. Like he was living in his car or something, like some couple helped him out early on in his career. So this is a brilliant guy and confident and witty and so on. And he is saying, he is, he is, but you can't survive almost without bending the knee. And look at this cackling.
[34:47] What did you say? What did you say? What did you say? What did you say? What did you say? Are you married? Yes, I know. You actually said that? What if you're right? Where? I mean, sometimes, where? What? So if you contradict a woman you can't be married to her, uh enter the long house enter ye the mystery slave school uh this this this yuck yuck yuck so funny uh women are always right and men are stupid you just shut up and you just bow and you nod and you hand over money and so on this is part of the shit that's absolutely murdering the birth rate like no man with an ounce of pride or masculinity.
[35:45] Would ever participate in a conversation like this. Incredibly disrespectful to women. Oh, women are so fragile, they can't handle any contradiction. I can't get my protein. So it is just, oh my gosh, it's just terrible. It's just terrible. This is also part of, you know, only simps should get married and have kids. Because if this is how you portray marriage, no man with an ounce of pride.
[36:12] Masculinity, testosterone or confidence is going to want to put himself in this situation where he's got to nod and bow and scrape and bend the knee to a woman's narcissistic delusions, it's just to me I don't know maybe he'll call him, he'll talk about his mom, yeah, women are dying no one knows, one story I saw another one where a woman died and no one knew for two years, the only reason they ever found out was because of the smell of the decomposing body yeah this you know it's a funny thing this is a it's a great quote from lord of the rings i wish it need not have happened in my time said frodo so do i said gandolph and so do all who live to see such times but that is not for them to decide all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us i love these charcoal drawings wizard staff tall hat staring out into the wilderness oh ancestral memories i'm really kind of big on these these days because they seem to becoming pretty fast and furious, probably in preparation for the wrenching changes that are coming. I'll read my novel, The Present. It's really, really important. But to wander the wilderness in pursuit of a virtuous objective, well, I guess that's what I'm doing right now.
[37:24] Uh this is really really good this one what happened to men pursuing girls when was the pivotal moment that a man chose to not go after a girl anymore or put in any f how about when a woman called a man weak for opening her car door or the time that men pursued women on dating apps and him saying hey how are you wasn't good enough how about the pivotal moment when a man is looking out into the open and happens to glance in a woman's direction and somehow he is undressing her with his eyes yeah so for a lot of men women want to be attractive and repel men like young women, right, in general, they want to be attractive enough to draw men to them, but they also want to reject most of the men because they want to sift and go for the highest status male as a whole that they can.
[38:04] And women have also, and this was, you know, Kevin Samuels got given work and mission in a way, was to say to women, okay, so if you want the top 5% of men, what do the top 5% of men want and are you providing it? He used to get quite mad at the black women or the black women, female community saying, like, we've told you guys, we want you to be slender. We don't want this fake eyelashes. We don't want all of this fake hair. We don't want any of the stuff and you all keep doing it, right? And so women being told that they are the prize and they don't need to participate, it turns them into kind of entitled monsters that the man has to do all of these acrobatics for and in return they just have to exist, right I mean when the women say oh the reason why you have to pay for the date is I have to spend all this money on makeup it's like but I.
[39:05] I don't I've never met a man who says that he wants to spend the rest of his life waiting for a woman to put her makeup on Right. I mean, this woman doesn't seem to have much of any makeup on, maybe a bit of eyeshadow, but makeup is not for the men. Makeup, it may be sort of on the filters to attract a man, but a woman in general is putting makeup on because she wants to feel pretty, it's going to increase her confidence, but the man is not dying for the woman to have ridiculous amounts of makeup on. Maybe if he's a more shallow guy and he wants...
[39:51] The woman to look good maybe raises his status, but that's not a guy who's going to settle down or anything like that. I just have to look good and work on all of that, and then you have to do everything else. I mean, a man will have sex with a woman like that, but he's not going to merge his household and lineage with her because she's going to have to do work, right? I mean, my wife and I are both pretty, actually, very hard workers.
[40:18] And the idea that you're just going to buy some ornament who's going to do makeup and consume your capital and not want to have kids because if she's that looks obsessed, then her looks will be interfered with by kids. So it is a mating display only for sexuality, not for reproduction. How about the moment when women considered everything the bare minimum and nothing is ever good enough? Or what about the pivotal moment where men have to fix everything in a relationship to make it work and women have to simply exist? Or how about the time there was a study done that said 80% of women find men unattractive, so why would they try anymore? Or the pivotal moment where men can be accused of SA or grave at any given moment by accident just because a woman is pissed off because she was rejected? Or what about the pivotal moment that women have constantly told men that they're so undesirable that they would rather pick a bear over a human being? Yeah, I'm a supply and demand thing. Women can treat men with contempt, and then men won't approach women. I mean, it's really not that complicated if women treat men with contempt as a whole, and if that's the general movement. And of course, you know, there are crazy people. I mean, do crazy people dominate the conversation, right? That's the foundational aspect of society, right? Do crazy people dominate the conversation? If crazy people dominate the conversation, then what happens is men look at women, they see sort of crazy extremist man haters dominating the conversation and other women not saying much, then what men are going to assume is that the crazy extremists speak for women as a whole.
[41:45] I mean, that's how society works, right? Now, if crazy extremists say stuff.
[41:56] And women sort of rise en masse and say, oh, no, that's not what I believe. That's crazy. Can't believe it. You know, they act against it. Oh, that's fine, right? So if, you know, Daniel Penny in New York, I think he just had his manslaughter charge removed by the judge. It's not exactly the best outcome. So, the fact that a man who worked to protect mostly women and really put himself at risk to protect women in the subway is being charged, or the fact that women aren't out there protesting, what men perceive, rightly or wrongly, what men perceive is that women agree that men should not protect them. Women agree with Daniel Penny being charged because women don't want men to protect them. Okay so so we listen to that if a large group, does not strongly counter extremist sentiments coming from within that group in general outsiders will perceive that there's agreement with those sentiments right, so if women as a whole say we don't need men and.
[43:11] Right? Sorry, if extremists say we don't need men and women as a whole don't contradict or counteract that, then men will simply assume that the majority of women agree with that because they're not counter-signaling it, right?
[43:25] So, anyway. As if men don't have feelings? Or how about the pivotal moment that every single man that ever chased a woman was considered a simp and women simply didn't respect them or want to be with them because they're chasing and they're trying too hard? What about the pivotal moment when the nice guy gets left because he's not toxic enough? What about the pivotal moment where men can't even simply be respectful without it being considered creepy or too friendly? Or what about the time that women decided that not even Cheesecake Factory was good enough for a first date? That they didn't want to get to know men for who they are. They wanted to know how much money they made and their status. I don't know about you, but that doesn't sound worth chasing. What happened to men for success? Good point.
[43:56] Pearl Davis throwing the estrogen bombs in the calm lakes of female avoidance. Why is it hard for women to accept that we don't stay young and hot forever? It's super weird to see women 40 plus trying to prove they still got it. Just take the L. Well, it's not a loss. I mean, it's not a loss to age. I mean, the loss is to not age, right? But yes, it is. I mean, of course, women want to stay attractive. Men want to stay attractive. But, you know, I was talking about this like, I remember on a show I did like, I don't know, 12 or 13 years ago, I showed a picture of my teenage self and a picture of me now. And I'm like, yeah, that's not the same. One of these things is not the same. Of course, the goal is to gain in wisdom and virtue and love and happiness and all of that, which is the compensation for some of the loss of youthful vitality and energy to gain in wisdom and lose in constitution in the D&D way, it's a good trade-off. I mean, it's really the only trade-off you get.
[44:47] So, all right, no dating. Oh, yeah, I talked about this in the show.
[44:58] Why people bought the blowjob coin is utterly beyond me, but I'm sort of out of this kind of stuff as a whole. I don't know why this woman is oiled like a P. Diddy Bidet, but it says, at some point, babes, she says, we have to stop being delusional and recognize that her taste in men is literally disgusting. Like, what do you mean a guy who literally doesn't care if I exist gives me butterflies, but the guy who shows up at my doorstep with flowers gives me the ick? Yeah. Well, liberated from the need to provide, women can choose sexiness and danger over virtue and consistency. So, uh, Zuby, really great guy on, on X says, how do people who discovered, sorry, how do the people who disowned their own family members and destroyed their relationships over the jab feel now? Do they even feel? Yeah. I was reading about how, um, the, the vaccine seems to have some effect on personality structure and so on, right? Cause I think it crosses the blood brain barrier and does all kinds of funky stuff in the upstairs.
[45:59] Oh, yeah, this is tough, man. So what's the plan to make people want to have children again? 4K a month mortgage to get a starter home with both parents working full-time to avoid two cars and bills, while dead care costs 1,500 plus a month per child. Neighbors no longer help each other and families live far apart. And even if they're close, everyone is working full-time. Schools get out at 2.30 and corporations want everyone back in the office until 5 every day. One day at an amusement park for four costs 500 bucks. Call me crazy, but it just doesn't sound that appealing if I was young again. Well, so you have to stop being the conveyor belts of paid entertainment for your children. We have to go back to basics, which is connection, storytelling. You know, I mean, when I would, we did this, my daughter and I did like seven years of a story that we sort of participated in and so on. And we called it role-playing, right? And so if I would say to my daughter, do you want to go to an amusement park or do you want to role-play? She'd be like, role-play. And it was free, right? And it was great fun. You're just going to have to get minimalist. You just have to, you can't have as much as your parents had. It's just a fact. I mean, if you're going to compare yourself to the wealthiest generation in human history who lost control of the state due to vanity and avoidance.
[47:16] Then you're just losing game, right? You're going to have to go back to living in an apartment. You're going to have to go back to eating out less. And, you know, they mean the way that I was raised. So anyway, it's fine.
[47:30] So this is very interesting, right? Because what is the big argument against Bitcoin? Oh my God, what if the entire internet goes down? So the internet has gone orbital, which means that Bitcoin is in space. It's really, really important. So Elon Musk says, even if an entire region or country lost connectivity because of a severe natural disaster, even if all the cell towers are taken out, your phone will still work. So, orange is in orbit. Bitcoin has left this mortal realm and ascended to the heavens, which means that the internet cannot be killed, right? So, even if you just have solar chargers, everything goes out. You still got solar chargers for your phone. You can charge it up that way. You can still do Bitcoin. It's massive. Massive. Oh, yeah, the shooter thing. I don't know about that, man. All right. So I think, oh yeah, study finds high blood sugar in healthy adults linked to lower brain activity. Very interesting. High blood sugar may impair brain health even in people without diabetes.
