00:00:00Good evening, everybody. Hope you're doing well.
00:00:05Hide in your shell, cause the world is out to lead you for a ride.
00:00:13Alright, so, it is the 6th of September, 2024, 18 days to my birthday, and I hit the grand old age of 58!
00:00:20Years young. Ah, it just feels great. You know, aging is the most beautiful thing in the known universe.
00:00:26I will absolutely tell you that. Aging is the most glorious and beautiful and wonderful thing in the known universe.
00:00:36I hope we all get to experience it for as long as we want to, and not end up like that woman in the Ricky Gervais.
00:00:45Ah, I've never been anywhere from here. I might as well have been a tree.
00:00:50Alright, so, let's see here. Yeah, so, a couple of points of bitterness.
00:01:01We are working and have been working feverishly hard on a call-in show, AI.
00:01:10So, we're going to release this to donors relatively soon.
00:01:13You can, of course, sign up at freedomain.locals.com or subscribestar.com. Sign up to subscribe.
00:01:22And you will get access to the call-in show, AI.
00:01:28You know, for the odd times that I'm too busy to do a personalized call-in to you, you can ask the AI and see how that goes.
00:01:36Can't guarantee any results, of course. It is an AI, after all, but it is interesting and so far it's been quite good.
00:01:43Don't forget that I am taking call-ins both public and private.
00:01:48If you want a public call-in, we can do that. It goes out as a show.
00:01:51If you want a private call-in, reasonable rates.
00:01:54And you can go to freedomain.com. Is it freedomain.com slash call? Sorry, freedomain.com slash call.
00:02:08We can throw call-in and call, right? So, freedomain.com slash call.
00:02:12And you can chat, we can chat, and wonderful things can happen in your life.
00:02:20Fifty-eight or forty-eight? No, no, no. Fifty-eight. We all know it's forty-eight.
00:02:26Boy, that seems like a decade ago, doesn't it? Almost. Almost.
00:02:31There is proof. Video footage of Randy Marsh banging a pangolin in Wuhan.
00:02:35Was not entirely sure that that sort of syllabus of syllables was going to be escaping my lips.
00:02:43Freedomain.com slash call. Yeah, do send in your requests. Do send in your requests.
00:02:48I would love to chat and chat. You know, you don't have to wait for a disaster.
00:02:52You don't have a big issue. And it also doesn't have to be personal issues.
00:02:55The call-in shows don't have to be about personal issues.
00:02:57It can be issues you have with me. It can be issues you have with the arguments that I make.
00:03:02You dislike UPB. You think I'm wrong about X, Y, and Z. We can have a debate about that.
00:03:06Up in the donor section was a fairly ferocious debate I had with a woman about abortion.
00:03:11And I very much enjoyed that. I thought it was arousing and good.
00:03:17So you can call me about just about anything, and I'm happy to chat about just about anything.
00:03:22If you've got a business idea, you want to run it through.
00:03:25My fairly experience by this point, I've been an entrepreneur now for over thirty years.
00:03:30So, alright.
00:03:32Hey Steph, thank you for the donation. I have a dream.
00:03:37I had a dream.
00:03:40Goodbye Max, goodbye Ma.
00:03:42Alright, I was removing a snake from work that was red and black in color.
00:03:46It was curled up on a black piece of metal.
00:03:51It was placid when I picked it up.
00:03:54I placed it outside, and the nature changed. It turned white, yellow, and pink in color.
00:03:59It became rather aggressive and went between my legs and bit my left ankle.
00:04:04The snake was venomous, but after it let go, there was no blood or venom.
00:04:08The whole dream felt like a warning.
00:04:10What could this be trying to tell me?
00:04:15Someone's gunning for you at work?
00:04:17Probably a female, masquerading as a male.
00:04:21Or it could be a male with a highly feminine nature.
00:04:24In other words, I would imagine there's somebody at work who's gunning for you by spreading rumors.
00:04:31Because venom is verbal abuse in general, right?
00:04:36Something from the mouth that harms you, right?
00:04:39So red and black, those are generally masculine colors.
00:04:43I assume that's something like a coral snake curled up on a black piece of metal.
00:04:47That's all masculine stuff.
00:04:50It was placid when I picked it up. I placed it outside.
00:04:53So you were trying to get someone out of your environment in the workplace.
00:04:57The nature changed. It turned white, yellow, and pink in color.
00:05:01White is pretend innocence, yellow is cowardice, and pink is female.
00:05:05It became rather aggressive and went between my legs and bit my left ankle.
00:05:10Between my legs is something to do with sexuality, of course.
00:05:14There was no blood or venom.
00:05:19You know, it's an interesting thing in life.
00:05:21And I think you'll accept when I say I have just a little smidge or two of experience in this.
00:05:27When people are going around behind your back spreading rumors,
00:05:30it is the most cowardly and vicious, vicious form of conflict known to man.
00:05:36So I would imagine that something like that is going on in your life.
00:05:39Could be at work.
00:05:43What do you think of the song White Queen by Queen?
00:05:47Oh, that's interesting.
00:06:01Yeah, it's a great song. It's a great song.
00:06:04I think you're right. I think you're right. It does remind me of Just Poor.
00:06:07I'd have to look at the lyrics in more detail, but it's a great point. It's a great song.
00:06:14You've got to listen to Live at the Rainbow Room, 1974.
00:06:18Amazing. Amazing.
00:06:22All right, let's see here.
00:06:24Let's get to your comments here, there, and everywhere.
00:06:31All right. Hey, Steph.
00:06:34I've recently come to the realization that almost all of the ails of society and humanity
00:06:39come down to a lack of virtue and honesty between people.
00:06:42I used to think UPB.
00:06:44Injunction of learning about virtue and living virtuously can fix almost all that.
00:06:50Oh, in conjunction with. Right, right.
00:06:55Virtue and honesty between people.
00:06:57Well, I mean, we solve the problem of corruption with virtue and honesty between parents and children.
00:07:04Virtue and honesty from parents to children.
00:07:07That's how we solve the ails of the universe.
00:07:11Somebody says, I'm more afraid of spiders compared to snakes.
00:07:14What does that mean?
00:07:16Well, it means that you come from a northern climate.
00:07:23It means that you come from a northern climate because in a northern climate,
00:07:28snakes are less dangerous than spiders because spiders are inside.
00:07:34And in particular, they come in when the weather cools down.
00:07:38So you are concerned about. It's a genetic, right?
00:07:41It's a genetic ancestral memory or concern or fear or worry.
00:07:46Which makes perfect sense to me.
00:07:52All right.
00:07:55Steph, have you read any of the godfathers of sci-fi like Jack Vance or Gene Wolfe?
00:08:00I really haven't read much sci-fi.
00:08:05Since my teens, I used to be really big in. I've read some Robert Heinlein.
00:08:09I was really big into Bradbury until, you know, that anti-white stuff in the baseball game.
00:08:16And I was also really into Arthur C. Clarke and other good.
00:08:24I never got into Isaac Asimov. I found him too cold and distant.
00:08:27And then once I found out what his son was up to. Oh, my God.
00:08:31Oh, my God. Just horrendous. Just horrendous.
00:08:34You know, I did reread some science fiction.
00:08:37I read 1984 again to gear my brain up for writing my novel, The Future, which was my science fiction novel.
00:08:47Alan Dean Foster, he was a writer back in the 80s and 90s who adapted movies.
00:08:53Splinter in the Mind's Eye was.
00:08:57It was interesting. It was a Star Wars novel with no spaceships.
00:09:02And Han Solo at Star's End, Splinter in the Mind's Eye.
00:09:05Han Solo at Star's End was not by him, but it was really cheesy.
00:09:08I just remember that there was a weapon and they said it was kind of like a carbine.
00:09:11And they said, you the amazing thing about this weapon is you can lean it up against a tree.
00:09:16You can come back 10 years later and pick it up and it still works.
00:09:22And it's like, well, that was my capacity for reason.
00:09:24Just abandon it and you come back later.
00:09:27It still works. Yes.
00:09:32All right.
00:09:38Science fiction got things entirely wrong.
00:09:41Entirely, well, Camp of the Saints, maybe not so much.
00:09:44But science fiction got things just so catastrophically wrong.
00:09:48Science fiction is there to warn us about the dangers of the future.
00:09:51Maybe Rupp at Heinlein got it a little bit right.
00:09:53But science fiction as a whole, I lost interest with it when I realized it's basically just a science fiction.
00:09:59It's a giant psyop to get you to not look at demographics.
00:10:02That's all it is. Oh, scary Martians.
00:10:05And oh, my God, this giant spider like machines, War of the Worlds and Skynet and computers.
00:10:12And no, it's all just to get you to avoid society's growing addiction to violence that generates catastrophe.
00:10:22The machine that you invent to serve you that ends up enslaving you.
00:10:31Everyone thinks it's like robots and war games and so on.
00:10:34No, it's the government. You invent it or you accept it to protect your rights.
00:10:39It ends up violating your rights.
00:10:41Yeah, sci-fi is just a way for nerds to avoid their own darkness by focusing on external shiny aliens.
00:10:54Yeah, no, no. What science fiction writer ever said?
00:10:57Well, we were going to have space travel, but instead we gave foreign aid.
00:11:03And welfare. That's where all the money.
00:11:05I mean, you tell me. What science fiction writer got that right?
00:11:11Said, well, it'd be great if we could get to the stars.
00:11:14But unfortunately, we're going to get buried under the endless demands of the bottom quintile and never get off the planet.
00:11:21Yeah, I don't think anyone ever really talked about that, so they're just wrong.
00:11:27Hey, Steph, a while back I gave a donation on the Free Domain site with the suggestion and request of an intro to The Conscience podcast and presentation.
00:11:34I'm curious if you're working on it. It's done and dusted, though I don't think it's out yet.
00:11:41Hi, Steph, where does mania come from?
00:11:48Shahazard, really.
00:11:50So, there's a famous story, Arabian Nights. I'm probably going to butcher it a little bit, this is straight off memory.
00:12:00But, the Arabian Nights, there's a woman who's going to, you know what, I'm going to have to look this up.
00:12:12Um.
00:12:18Arabian Nights. Oh, I don't want the horse. I don't want the horse.
00:12:28Thousand and One Nights, is that right?
00:12:32Collection of Middle Eastern folktales compiled in the Arabic language during the Islamic Golden Age.
00:12:38Before consanguinity overtook that all.
00:12:43Shahazard, one tale told over each night of storytelling.
00:12:50Yes, that's right.
00:12:51Aladdin, Alibaba, Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp, Alibaba and the Forty Thieves, not part, but added later by a French translator.
00:13:03All right, so the mainframe story concerns Shahryar, whom the narrator calls a Sasanian king ruling in Indian China.
00:13:14Shahryar is shocked to learn that his brother's wife is unfaithful.
00:13:18Discovering that his own wife's infidelity has been even more flagrant, he has her killed.
00:13:23In his bitterness and grief, he decides that all women are the same.
00:13:27Shahar begins to marry a succession of virgins, only to execute each one the next morning before she has a chance to dishonor him.
00:13:34So, eventually there's no more virgins.
00:13:37Just like a nightclub, as the hours progress.
00:13:42Shaharazad, the busiest daughter, offers herself as the next bride and father reluctantly agrees.
00:13:47On the night of their marriage, she begins to tell the king a tale, but does not end it.
00:13:52And so, basically, it's the ultimate serial.
00:13:55It's the serial story to prevent the serial killer.
00:13:59So, every night she finishes the story, begins another one, and the king wants to hear the conclusion.
00:14:05And then postpones her execution once more.
00:14:08So why is this?
00:14:09I mean, it's a very cool narrative, right?
00:14:12It's a very, very cool narrative structure, but why does it matter?
00:14:18Why does it matter?
00:14:23So, mania.
00:14:26Mania and storytelling comes from a desperate desire to entertain.
00:14:32Don't kill me!
00:14:34I know the secret to a buried treasure.
00:14:35Don't kill me!
00:14:37I know how to defeat your enemies.
00:14:38Don't kill me!
00:14:39I have a story to tell that you should keep me alive for.
00:14:45Art is usually a survival desperation.
00:14:53That says, I will tell you a story in order to not be killed.
00:14:59In order to not die.
00:15:03And if you've ever had a depressed mother and you've tried to cheer her up,
00:15:08you know what frantic depths of creativity you can summon
00:15:13in order to keep the maternal provider of food and shelter alive.
00:15:18I talk about this in my presentation, The Truth About Robin Williams.
00:15:26Mania is a frantic desire to overwhelm someone's senses
00:15:32so they forget about being angry or upset with you.
00:15:35Storytelling is a survival mechanism.
00:15:42Creativity rewards storytelling with survival.
00:15:49Of what use is the fool in a time of war?
00:15:54Thou shouldst not have been old before thou were wise.
00:15:58Of what use is the fool, the weak man with the quick tongue
00:16:03and the rapid intellect?
00:16:06Well, the knight, the strong man, the tank, the barbarian,
00:16:13he can go out and conquer land for the king.
00:16:17The policeman, the brute, can go and shake down the peasants for their tithes
00:16:23and he can go and kill those who poach upon the king's land.
00:16:28But what can the weak man of quick wit do?
00:16:33Well, he can make the king laugh because the king in general is evil
00:16:39and a parasite and a brute and a monster and a murderer.
00:16:44And weighed down as he is by the heavy, heavy is the head that wears the crown,
00:16:49the crown is the conscience, it's the crown of thorns always
00:16:53with the caveat that it's always everyone else who does the bleeding.
00:16:58The king is constantly falling into a pit of depression, self-hatred
00:17:06and he needs to be rescued from that pit not by the man with the sharp sword
00:17:12but the man with the sharp tongue.
00:17:16Someone must make the king laugh
00:17:21because the king is weighed down by the blood of his victims.
00:17:25Humor developed so that weak people with strong verbal skills could survive,
00:17:38stupid people with rapid swords.
00:17:45Language developed as a form of survival and theft
00:17:52which is why, see, the king constantly ages out, right?
00:17:57So when he's young and strong, he's got a great martial skill
00:18:01and good luck, he can go kill everyone.
00:18:03But then he ages out and maybe he only has daughters
00:18:07or maybe he's infertile and he still wants to be the king.
00:18:10So the king has to wire himself into language called eternity,
00:18:15the ancestors, the country, the gods, the common good, right?
00:18:21He's got to anchor and wind himself into language
00:18:25because language doesn't age.
00:18:28The king is dead, long live the king.
00:18:30King is a category, not guy who's the best warrior
00:18:34because he ages out and another best warrior can just come and kill him,
00:18:37Macbeth style.
00:18:40So language forks into two kinds of storytelling.
00:18:45One is a storytelling that winds the king's mortality into the eternity of language
00:18:49so that his progeny continue to rule
00:18:53and the other goes into comedy
00:18:57which is the man's about to be killed, he tells the joke.
00:19:01The warrior whose heart is weighed down with heavy bags of prior blood
00:19:05laughs and feels a slight lifting of spirits
00:19:08which he has not felt probably since he was a child
00:19:11and he says, let this one live, he is amusing.
00:19:14Amuse us, dance for us.
00:19:18And because everyone is frightened of the warrior
00:19:21and everyone is frightened of the king,
00:19:23it is only the jester who can tell the truth to the king.
00:19:27Only the jester can make fun of the king
00:19:29which reduces him back to the only capacity he has for happiness
00:19:32which is his common humanity with others,
00:19:35otherwise he's isolated.
00:19:38The priests work the wizardry of language to isolate the king
00:19:42in the perfection of abstract concepts to remove him from humanity,
00:19:45to create him in the mantle of a divine instrument of the divine
00:19:51and that separates him and causes him alienation, depression and suicidality.
00:19:56But the jester comes in and reminds him of his common humanity
00:20:00with everyone around and his mortality and his foolishness and his frailty.
00:20:06In King Lear, the jester goes with King Lear into the storm
00:20:12and is never seen again.
00:20:17Because the purpose of the jester is to keep the king sane.
00:20:25Because the purpose of the clerics,
00:20:29the purpose of the witch doctors is to provoke madness, psychosis,
00:20:36I am God, right, in the king.
00:20:39But that's very dangerous
00:20:40because if the king truly believes the clerics
00:20:44who wind him into the eternal language of the divine,
00:20:47he loses his humanity and becomes psychotic.
00:20:55The priests drive the king mad for the sake of power
00:21:00and the jester keeps him sane for the sake of survival.
00:21:05So storytelling both provokes madness and attempts to rescue madness
00:21:14through humor and the recognition of common humanity and frailty and foolishness.
00:21:20Thou shouldst not have been old until thou were wise.
00:21:25And then King Lear says to Cordelia in prison,
00:21:29I am a very fond and foolish old man.
00:21:31In prison, I am a very fond and foolish old man,
00:21:34which is a true statement.
00:21:36He thinks he's a magnificent king, can't be faulted.
00:21:39Then he says at the end, I'm a very fond and foolish old man.
00:21:46Now we have, like the priests have moved into art and now we have
00:21:53endless stories that are there to manipulate and bully you
00:21:58and get you to give up your history
00:22:00rather than the truth.
00:22:02Who are our jesters now?
00:22:05Who are our jesters now?
00:22:07It's famously known that in the courts of the communists,
00:22:11there are no fools, there are no jesters, there are no jokes,
00:22:15which is why the psychosis of the communist leaders goes on and on and on
00:22:24and only ends when the demons that ride them are finally satisfied
00:22:28with their fill of blood and souls.
00:22:33The kings have their jesters.
00:22:35I remember the Queen Mother in England was apparently a big fan of
00:22:39Sasha Cohen's Ali G.
00:22:45There's a famous line from Queen Victoria,
00:22:48we are not amused, we are not amused, we are not amused.
00:22:52You've got to amuse, you've got to make them laugh
00:22:55or they'll kill you.
00:22:58And you've got to ride that line right on the edge.
00:23:01You've got to be daring enough to get the king's interest
00:23:04and make him laugh and rescue his humanity
00:23:07so that his psychosis doesn't destroy the kingdom.
00:23:10Or to put it another way,
00:23:13the kings who had no jesters survived less
00:23:17and the cultures and countries survived less
00:23:20than the kings who had jesters.
00:23:27Yeah, the meme, when you tell a joke so funny,
00:23:30HR also wants to hear it.
00:23:32And this is the root of the famous statement
00:23:36that the left cannot meme.
00:23:39And the left cannot meme.
00:23:41The left cannot meme because the psychosis of power
00:23:44has dissolved their humanity to the point
00:23:47where they cannot laugh at themselves.
00:23:49The ability to laugh at yourself
00:23:51is one of these bell curve Aristotelian memes.
00:23:53You don't want to constantly be making fun of yourself
00:23:55so that you have no seriousness,
00:23:57because if you can't laugh at yourself,
00:23:59you're going to make everyone cry.
00:24:09But comedy has become a method of dismantling nobility,
00:24:13which is always its great danger, right?
00:24:15So in order to have nobility and courage
00:24:18and magnificence of purpose,
00:24:20you have to be deadly fucking serious.
00:24:22I mean, I obviously make jokes.
00:24:24The work that I'm doing here is deadly fucking serious.
00:24:31And part of that deadly serious
00:24:34is to give relief from intensity with comedy.
00:24:42A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.
00:24:54In the play Macbeth,
00:24:56after the most horrendous murder scene ever penned for stage,
00:24:59there's a comedy bit with an old Scottish porter
00:25:02who only shows up once,
00:25:04because people need that relief.
00:25:10Comedy is there to let you come up from air,
00:25:15from deadly seriousness.
00:25:18Deadly seriousness, after a while,
00:25:20becomes airless, deoxygenated.
00:25:23Intense, too much, too much.
00:25:26You need to take a breath.
00:25:31Mania is a state of mind
00:25:34that arises when you're so desperate
00:25:36to distract your murderers
00:25:38that you'll say anything to stay alive
00:25:40for five more minutes, in my humble opinion.
00:25:43Many a true word is spoken in jests.
00:25:46Yes, that's right.
00:25:48That's right.
00:25:50And this is why it's so sad,
00:25:52so desperately sad,
00:25:55when gestures like John Cleese
00:26:01and Ricky Gervais turn out to be
00:26:04the saddest, most pathetic,
00:26:06conformist assholes known to man.
00:26:08I can't tell you how much contempt
00:26:10I have for these people
00:26:12with their reputations
00:26:14and with their money
00:26:16and their independence.
00:26:18And they just turn into
00:26:20the most craven,
00:26:22cowardly,
00:26:24bullshit-repeating,
00:26:26mainline-toeing,
00:26:28center-of-the-track,
00:26:30fence-sitting assholes known to man.
00:26:32It's absolutely pathetic.
00:26:33I watched a little bit of Ricky Gervais's comedy
00:26:35about a guy whose wife died.
00:26:37Does he talk about anything to do
00:26:39with the general horrors and problems
00:26:41of contemporary Britain?
00:26:43Nope.
00:26:45Nope.
00:26:47But it's okay,
00:26:49because he has old women
00:26:51say the words,
00:26:53see you next Tuesday.
00:26:55Ooh, comic genius.
00:26:57So cool, so brilliant.
00:26:59You know, he plays a guy
00:27:01who makes old women
00:27:03make arguments
00:27:05against religion.
00:27:07You know, like it's
00:27:091950.
00:27:13Doesn't skewer any sacred cows,
00:27:15doesn't make fun
00:27:17or bring laughter
00:27:19to any of the immense
00:27:21challenges and suffering.
00:27:23I mean, the white British
00:27:25are 23% of London.
00:27:27He can't make any jokes about anything.
00:27:29Nope.
00:27:30All that power, all that money,
00:27:31what the fuck is that guy's net worth?
00:27:33What is his net worth?
00:27:38What is this asshole's net worth?
00:27:41140 million dollars.
00:27:45Oh no, sorry,
00:27:47some people say
00:27:49160 million dollars.
00:27:51He earns over a million quid
00:27:53for one stand up show.
00:27:56Can't talk about anything.
00:28:02John Cleese, what's his net worth?
00:28:12John Cleese net worth,
00:28:13what's his net worth?
00:28:1620 million?
00:28:17Really?
00:28:18Wow.
00:28:20I guess,
00:28:23I guess he lost some money.
00:28:2520 million, really?
00:28:27Wow.
00:28:31John Cleese,
00:28:33estimated to have seven figure net worth,
00:28:34admitted his lack of interest in money
00:28:36has cost him a lot in a candid admission.
00:28:39Forked out a 12 million,
00:28:4112 million pound settlement.
00:28:42Yeah, he did a whole tour
00:28:43called The Divorce Tour
00:28:44or something like that
00:28:45after he divorced his third wife,
00:28:46Alice Faye.
00:28:48Eichel,
00:28:49Eichelberger?
00:28:51Eichelberger?
00:28:53All right.
00:28:54Wow, he's 84.
00:28:56Was on a Q&A tour in 2022,
00:28:58performed in almost 40 shows
00:29:00across the world.
00:29:02He never knew how much money he had
00:29:03and rarely paid attention
00:29:04to his fortune over the years.
00:29:06Wow.
00:29:08I guess he had a hair transplant.
00:29:10He said,
00:29:11I never understand money
00:29:12and I don't find it very interesting
00:29:13which is a real disadvantage
00:29:14in the world that we live in.
00:29:18Wow.
00:29:23He was paid 6,000
00:29:24for writing and starring
00:29:25in Faulty Towers
00:29:26which is very funny
00:29:27but does receive royalties.
00:29:33He was in James Bond.
00:29:35He's been married four times.
00:29:38He's forked out 25 million pounds
00:29:39in divorce settlements.
00:29:42Yeah, because being a comic genius
00:29:43is exactly the same
00:29:44in terms of wealth
00:29:45as fucking a comic genius.
00:29:48He's a net worth
00:29:49of about 8 million pounds.
00:29:52Wow.
00:29:53Wow.
00:29:57He admitted he'd felt
00:29:58he'd been living in hotels
00:29:59in recent months.
00:30:02I live in hotel rooms
00:30:03wherever the work is.
00:30:04Just performed 36 shows
00:30:05in Canada, the U.S.,
00:30:06Portugal, Hungary,
00:30:07Spain, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:30:09Wow.
00:30:12Yeah, he wed Connie Booth
00:30:13in 1968.
00:30:14They stayed married
00:30:15for 10 years.
00:30:19And he did a lot of work
00:30:20on therapy
00:30:21and self-knowledge
00:30:22for sure.
00:30:24Wow, that's pretty wild.
00:30:30All right.
00:30:31Hey, Steph,
00:30:32I took your advice
00:30:33about getting over my kid's mom
00:30:34and have been going to therapy
00:30:35for the past couple of months.
00:30:36It's going well.
00:30:37I'm really, really good.
00:30:38Hey, Steph,
00:30:39I really like and recently
00:30:40watched the movie
00:30:41Ready Player One.
00:30:42Was curious on your thoughts
00:30:43and if you enjoyed it or not.
00:30:44I don't know the movie
00:30:45but let me make a note of it.
00:30:46Maybe.
00:30:48I will.
00:30:49Have a look.
00:30:50Steph, would it be possible
00:30:51to get a list
00:30:52of your written works
00:30:53in chronological order
00:30:54with purchasing options?
00:30:56I'm not sure
00:30:57what you're talking about.
00:30:58Just go to
00:30:59freedomain.com slash books.
00:31:03The Afterlife
00:31:04by Ricky Gervais.
00:31:05Yeah, I watched
00:31:06a couple of those shows.
00:31:07I thought it was
00:31:08absolutely cowardly bullshit.
00:31:10Absolutely.
00:31:11Oh, he's so,
00:31:12he's so brave, man.
00:31:13He said these things
00:31:14at the Golden Globes.
00:31:15He's so brave.
00:31:16No, he's not.
00:31:18No, he's not.
00:31:19I mean, my God,
00:31:20listening to these,
00:31:22I don't know,
00:31:231970 talking points
00:31:25about religion and so on, right?
00:31:28He can't talk about anything.
00:31:35No, Afterlife,
00:31:36of all the things
00:31:37that are going on
00:31:38in the West at the moment,
00:31:39to have his wealth
00:31:40and his fame
00:31:42and to write a show
00:31:44that avoidant and cowardly
00:31:46is contemptuous beyond words.
00:31:50It's narcissistic
00:31:51beyond words in my view, too,
00:31:52because it's all about him.
00:31:54Nothing about the culture,
00:31:55nothing about the society,
00:31:56nothing about the changes
00:31:57in England,
00:31:58nothing about anything.
00:31:59Nope.
00:32:01Just make more tired
00:32:02shots of Christianity.
00:32:03Ooh, so fucking edgy.
00:32:06Ugh.
00:32:08It's about as fucking edgy
00:32:09as a bowling ball.
00:32:12Pathetic.
00:32:13Pathetic.
00:32:15All right.
00:32:19My fiancee
00:32:23is the ideal woman,
00:32:24says someone.
00:32:25Thank you for the tip.
00:32:26For me.
00:32:27But,
00:32:28she is five foot one.
00:32:29I'm slightly above average
00:32:30for my country.
00:32:31I worry about having
00:32:32short sons
00:32:33as I know how hard
00:32:34slash desperate dating
00:32:35can be for short guys.
00:32:37What do you think about this?
00:32:38I love her
00:32:39and she is perfect for me
00:32:40and virtuous.
00:32:42But this is a big worry for me.
00:32:43Should I have chosen
00:32:44someone worse
00:32:46by physically taller,
00:32:47but physically taller?
00:32:49I thought about it
00:32:50in the beginning
00:32:51of the relationship
00:32:52but decided against it.
00:32:53She is one in a million
00:32:54kind of lady these days.
00:33:01Well,
00:33:02let's say
00:33:03that you have sons
00:33:06that are going to be
00:33:07rejected by women
00:33:08because of their height.
00:33:13Right.
00:33:14Let's say,
00:33:15let's just say,
00:33:16sake of argument,
00:33:18you have sons
00:33:20who are going to be
00:33:21rejected
00:33:23by women
00:33:24because of their height.
00:33:26All right.
00:33:27So let's say,
00:33:28well, you know,
00:33:29there's this absolute
00:33:30goddess angel
00:33:31I could marry
00:33:32but she's got small breasts
00:33:33and I'm concerned
00:33:35that
00:33:36if I have daughters
00:33:37that way
00:33:38not inclined
00:33:40or that way inclined
00:33:42that men might reject them.
00:33:48Oh my God.
00:33:53Why
00:33:54do
00:33:58physical imperfections
00:34:00exist?
00:34:04Why do physical imperfections exist?
00:34:06Most men would rather have hair
00:34:07and I got a plaintive message
00:34:08a while back ago
00:34:09from a guy saying
00:34:10I'm in my twenties
00:34:11and I'm losing hair.
00:34:12What do I do?
00:34:13He's like,
00:34:14get on your knees
00:34:15and thank your lucky stars.
00:34:16Well, you know,
00:34:17but if I don't have
00:34:18a great head of hair
00:34:20then shallow women
00:34:22might not
00:34:23have sex with me.
00:34:25I might miss out
00:34:26on STDs,
00:34:28crazy chicks,
00:34:30stalkers,
00:34:31getting my heart broken,
00:34:33getting betrayed,
00:34:34getting cheated on.
00:34:35I might miss out
00:34:36on all that shit
00:34:37because my hair
00:34:38ain't coughing up protein.
00:34:39My scalp
00:34:40ain't coughing up protein.
00:34:42Look at all
00:34:43I'm going to miss out on.
00:34:45He just doesn't have hair
00:34:46and he's kind of short.
00:34:48Yes,
00:34:49you might not get
00:34:50those fine quality ladies
00:34:51who are going to
00:34:52judge you entirely
00:34:53by characteristics
00:34:54completely beyond your control.
00:34:55What they won't be
00:34:56judging you on
00:34:57is your
00:34:58knowledge,
00:34:59your virtue,
00:35:00your depth,
00:35:01your sensitivity,
00:35:02your fitness as a father
00:35:03and a husband,
00:35:04your provision capacity
00:35:05or anything like that.
00:35:06They'll just be judging you on
00:35:08chin bone length
00:35:10and hair follicles.
00:35:11Chin bone length
00:35:13and hair follicles.
00:35:22Physical, quote,
00:35:23imperfections are
00:35:24defense mechanisms
00:35:25that shield your heart
00:35:26from getting
00:35:27the fuck broken out of it
00:35:28by shallow,
00:35:29bitchy women
00:35:30or men
00:35:31for that matter.
00:35:34Why,
00:35:35oh why,
00:35:36oh why,
00:35:37would you want to attract
00:35:38the repulsive
00:35:39if a woman
00:35:40won't date you
00:35:42because you're
00:35:43a little short
00:35:44or a lot short
00:35:45or you're bald
00:35:46or you have
00:35:47a bit of an overbite
00:35:48or like,
00:35:49whatever,
00:35:50whatever,
00:35:51you got a mole.
00:35:52If a woman won't date you
00:35:53for that,
00:35:54that's nature saying,
00:35:55hey,
00:35:56I'm just trying to put
00:35:57a big fiery mode
00:35:58of depth around your heart
00:35:59so that the shallow women
00:36:00can't get through
00:36:01and skewer you
00:36:02with endless
00:36:03pincushion inverse
00:36:04hedgehog rapiers
00:36:05of shallow judgment
00:36:06and rejection.
00:36:08Nope.
00:36:10Nope,
00:36:11nope,
00:36:12nope,
00:36:13a thousand times,
00:36:14no.
00:36:23I absolutely know
00:36:25for a simple,
00:36:26honest fact,
00:36:28there are women,
00:36:29I would say,
00:36:30I mean,
00:36:31I don't mean to brag,
00:36:32I don't mean to brag,
00:36:33I'm just,
00:36:34since it is close
00:36:35to this topic,
00:36:36we got about
00:36:3885 to 90%
00:36:39approval rate
00:36:40of the women
00:36:41I wanted to ask out
00:36:42going out with me.
00:36:43That doesn't mean
00:36:44that we all fell in love
00:36:45forever and ever,
00:36:46amen,
00:36:47but if I asked a woman
00:36:48to go out with me,
00:36:4985 to 90% of the time
00:36:50she'd say yes,
00:36:51there would be no's,
00:36:52absolutely.
00:36:55But I'm certainly
00:36:56old enough to know
00:36:57that the no's,
00:36:58the women who said
00:36:59no to me,
00:37:00didn't do well.
00:37:01I mean,
00:37:02I really was always
00:37:03kind of surprised
00:37:04when a woman
00:37:05said no to me.
00:37:06Really?
00:37:07It'd be kind of like,
00:37:10hey,
00:37:11here's a winning lottery
00:37:12ticket for $10,000,
00:37:13like,
00:37:14no,
00:37:15I'm good.
00:37:16Really?
00:37:17Sorry,
00:37:18maybe you didn't,
00:37:19I'm giving you
00:37:20a free winning lottery
00:37:21ticket for,
00:37:22it's $10,000,
00:37:23free and clear.
00:37:26No,
00:37:27I'm good.
00:37:29Okay.
00:37:30Okay.
00:37:32And that's how I felt.
00:37:33I mean,
00:37:34I'm a good husband,
00:37:35I'm a great dad,
00:37:36I'm a decent provider
00:37:37and all of that.
00:37:38So,

00:37:42if you'd like to help
00:37:43make that statement true,
00:37:44I would appreciate that,
00:37:45freedomain.com
00:37:46slash donate,
00:37:47or you could donate
00:37:48right here on the apps.
00:37:49It's like,
00:37:50no?
00:37:51Okay.
00:37:52Okay.
00:37:53All right.
00:37:54So,
00:38:00the women who said no,
00:38:02I haven't obviously
00:38:03slept with them
00:38:04in donkey's years,
00:38:05but when I did
00:38:06last check up on them,
00:38:07the women who'd said no,
00:38:08weren't doing that well.
00:38:12Bet you don't,
00:38:13bet you don't,
00:38:14bet you don't like your life.
00:38:18No,

00:38:20you're handing out
00:38:21$10,000
00:38:22winning lottery tickets,
00:38:25when you ask a woman out,
00:38:26I don't know what you're doing.
00:38:29Because
00:38:30she can only judge you
00:38:31by how you judge yourself,
00:38:32and if you judge yourself
00:38:33like a piece of gum
00:38:34stuck on the bottom
00:38:35of someone's shoe,
00:38:36that's how they're
00:38:37going to judge you,
00:38:38and how else
00:38:39are they supposed to do it?
00:38:42Like,
00:38:43you know that, right?
00:38:44You're not begging
00:38:45a woman to go out.
00:38:47With you,
00:38:48you're offering her
00:38:49the great gift
00:38:50of your company.
00:38:55Right?
00:38:56And I had to do it
00:38:57while going bald
00:38:58in my twenties.
00:39:00Whatever.
00:39:02Who cares?
00:39:04Who cares?
00:39:07I'm not going to go out
00:39:08with you because
00:39:09you're a balding.
00:39:10Okay.
00:39:12Okay.
00:39:14Good.
00:39:15Good.
00:39:16Good.
00:39:18Save me some time
00:39:19and heartache.
00:39:20Easy peasy,
00:39:21nice and easy.
00:39:22Save me some time
00:39:23and heartache.
00:39:25Save me some time
00:39:26and heartache.
00:39:29Be my guest.
00:39:30I tell you what,
00:39:31you go out
00:39:32with the guy
00:39:33who's got great hair.
00:39:34Oh, but then
00:39:35he's a little bit too short,
00:39:36or he's not muscular enough,
00:39:37or he's got a funny mole
00:39:38right here,
00:39:39or one of his legs
00:39:40is a little shorter
00:39:41than the other,
00:39:42or, you know,
00:39:43he's kind of chicken-chested,
00:39:44or he doesn't have
00:39:45a thick enough neck,
00:39:46or, oh, yeah,
00:39:47fine, fine.
00:39:48Fine.
00:39:52Fine.
00:39:54If you have to explain
00:39:55to your sons,
00:39:57like,
00:39:58short men
00:39:59reproduce
00:40:00at a rate
00:40:01similar to that
00:40:02of tall men.
00:40:04Guys without hair
00:40:05reproduce at a rate
00:40:06similar to that
00:40:07with hair.
00:40:10Women aren't judging
00:40:11whether you have hair
00:40:13or not.
00:40:14They are judging
00:40:15your relationship
00:40:16as to whether
00:40:17you have hair or not.
00:40:20Look,
00:40:21you want a big secret here?
00:40:22Hit me with a why.
00:40:23I don't know,
00:40:24this could be too powerful.
00:40:25This might be too much
00:40:26power for you.
00:40:27This might be too much
00:40:28power for you.
00:40:29Hit me
00:40:30if you're ready
00:40:31for some serious
00:40:32power thought.
00:40:39Are you ready
00:40:41for some serious
00:40:42power thought?
00:40:43This could be
00:40:44life-changing.
00:40:45Life-changing.
00:40:46Could be.
00:40:47Could be.
00:40:48Could be taken
00:40:49on a holiday.
00:40:50That's right.
00:40:51Not as good as a wink
00:40:52to a blind bat.
00:40:53Could be.
00:40:54You need the power.
00:40:55I got the power.
00:40:57Power
00:40:58to all my friends
00:41:00to the music
00:41:01that never ends.
00:41:02Alright.
00:41:03Alright.
00:41:07Flaws exist.
00:41:08Let's just talk
00:41:09to the men here.
00:41:10Your flaws exist
00:41:14in order for women
00:41:15to see that you don't
00:41:16care about them.
00:41:21Flaws exist
00:41:22in you
00:41:23so that women
00:41:24can see
00:41:25whether you care
00:41:26about them or not.
00:41:29So,
00:41:30if you care
00:41:31too much
00:41:32about your appearance,
00:41:33a woman
00:41:35of sense,
00:41:36a woman of virtue,
00:41:37if you care
00:41:38too much about your appearance,
00:41:39a woman of sense
00:41:40will reject you.
00:41:42Why?
00:41:44If you care
00:41:45too much
00:41:46that you're a little short
00:41:47or you can't
00:41:48get abs
00:41:49or
00:41:50you're balding
00:41:51or
00:41:52you got a weak chin
00:41:53or like things beyond
00:41:54your control, right?
00:41:56Why will a woman
00:41:57of quality
00:41:58reject you
00:41:59if you care
00:42:00too much
00:42:01about your appearance?
00:42:05Because you're
00:42:06a shallow fuck
00:42:08who will trade her in
00:42:09for a younger model
00:42:10the moment he gets
00:42:11the chance.
00:42:12See,
00:42:13if you are insecure
00:42:14about your looks
00:42:15and look,
00:42:16we all have some reason
00:42:17to be insecure
00:42:18about our looks
00:42:19if we want, right?
00:42:20I think I had
00:42:21abs briefly
00:42:22in my teens
00:42:23when I was on
00:42:24the water polo
00:42:25and swim team
00:42:26and long-distance
00:42:27running team
00:42:28simultaneously.
00:42:29But it has been
00:42:30quite a while
00:42:31since I've had abs
00:42:32and I'm not sure
00:42:33I ever will see them again
00:42:34before the end of times
00:42:35for me.
00:42:36So,
00:42:37there's always something
00:42:38that you can find
00:42:39that you can find
00:42:40objectionable
00:42:41about your appearance, right?
00:42:42I got a little bit
00:42:43of an overbite,
00:42:44I got a mole,
00:42:45I'm a little bit
00:42:46thick in the middle,
00:42:47I'm bald,
00:42:48like, I can find things!
00:42:49I can absolutely
00:42:50find things!
00:42:52But the more focused
00:42:53you are on your appearance,
00:42:54the more you're going
00:42:55to judge the woman
00:42:56by her appearance
00:42:57and her appearance
00:42:58is going to fade.
00:42:59Her sexual market value
00:43:00is going to decline
00:43:01over time
00:43:02and yours is going
00:43:03to increase.
00:43:04A man's peak earning years
00:43:05are in his mid-forties
00:43:06to late fifties.

00:43:11So,
00:43:12if you are
00:43:13judging yourself
00:43:14negatively
00:43:15by your appearance
00:43:16rather than
00:43:17the quality
00:43:18of your heart,
00:43:19the quality
00:43:20of your potential fatherhood,
00:43:21the quality
00:43:22of the sense
00:43:23and good humor
00:43:24and good values
00:43:25you can bring
00:43:26to a marriage,
00:43:27if you're just
00:43:28judging yourself
00:43:29by height,
00:43:30hair, abs,
00:43:31all that sort of
00:43:32shallow, vacillating,
00:43:33destined-for-the-grave
00:43:34bullshit.
00:43:37I don't look
00:43:38like Jamie Dornan!
00:43:39Yeah, okay.
00:43:42But Jamie Dornan
00:43:43spends too much time
00:43:44in the gym
00:43:45to be a wise man.
00:43:52If you judge yourself
00:43:53too strongly
00:43:54by your appearance,
00:43:55if you judge yourself
00:43:56negatively
00:43:57by your appearance,
00:43:58a woman of quality
00:43:59will be repulsed by you
00:44:01because you are
00:44:02simply planning
00:44:03to leave her later
00:44:04because in your,
00:44:06let's say,
00:44:07you're 47, right?
00:44:08So, you get married
00:44:09to some woman,
00:44:10you're 47
00:44:11and you're really
00:44:12hitting your financial stride.
00:44:13You're just making money,
00:44:14hand over fist.
00:44:15And your wife
00:44:16is aging out.
00:44:17She's gone through menopause,
00:44:18she's aging out,
00:44:19she's probably
00:44:20a little thick-waisted,
00:44:21she's getting face sags
00:44:22and so on.
00:44:23And if you're guys,
00:44:24we age a little slower
00:44:25in some ways, right?
00:44:27And so,
00:44:29if you have been
00:44:30judging yourself
00:44:31by physical appearance
00:44:32and grinding yourself down,
00:44:33then when you're
00:44:34in a situation
00:44:35of your maximum
00:44:36sexual market value,
00:44:37and then you're going
00:44:38to judge your wife
00:44:39negatively by her
00:44:40physical appearance
00:44:41and then you're going
00:44:42to dump her
00:44:43and get a second wife,
00:44:44right?
00:44:47A man who allows
00:44:48himself to be
00:44:49ground down
00:44:50by physical appearance
00:44:52is too feminine
00:44:53for women
00:44:54to commit to.
00:45:02A quality woman
00:45:05looks at you
00:45:07judging yourself
00:45:08negatively according
00:45:09to your physical appearance
00:45:10and looks at it
00:45:14as a grave
00:45:17risk and danger
00:45:18for her.
00:45:21Because when the women
00:45:22start coming for you,
00:45:24when you get
00:45:26wealthy,
00:45:30when the women
00:45:31start coming to you
00:45:32when you get wealthy,
00:45:34or you get successful,
00:45:35you get prominent,
00:45:37or sometimes even
00:45:38if you have a ring
00:45:39on your finger,
00:45:40when...
00:45:42I've not made
00:45:43these arguments before.
00:45:45No.
00:45:51I mean,
00:45:52I've made the arguments
00:45:53that men go up
00:45:54in sexual market value
00:45:55and women don't,
00:45:56but I'm talking about
00:45:57how a quality woman
00:45:58will reject you
00:45:59if you judge yourself
00:46:00negatively according
00:46:01to factors of your
00:46:02appearance beyond
00:46:03your control.
00:46:04I've not made that
00:46:05argument before.
00:46:06So, it's because
00:46:07you're not listening
00:46:08that you're accusing
00:46:09me of repetition.
00:46:10It's kind of annoying.
00:46:12Yeah, videos of men
00:46:13getting hair transplants
00:46:14and women getting
00:46:15rhinoplasty on
00:46:16social media lately,
00:46:17right?
00:46:20And...
00:46:21hair transplants
00:46:22and rhinoplasty
00:46:23and other forms of
00:46:27plastic surgery
00:46:28are giant fucking frauds.
00:46:31You know,
00:46:32I get these emails
00:46:33occasionally,
00:46:34like, you can fix
00:46:35your hair, man!
00:46:36What's broken about it?
00:46:37Do you know how much...
00:46:38I get an extra
00:46:39six months of life.
00:46:41I get an extra
00:46:42six months of life
00:46:43because I don't have
00:46:44to do shit about my hair.
00:46:45Just put on a hat
00:46:46or I don't do anything.
00:46:47I don't have to do anything.
00:46:51Would you rather have
00:46:52a good head of hair
00:46:53or six months
00:46:54extra of life?
00:46:56I mean, a man spends
00:46:57two months...
00:46:58two months of his life
00:46:59shaving.
00:47:00How much time
00:47:01do you spend on your hair?
00:47:07Hair!
00:47:13Accidental protein strands.
00:47:15Completely beyond
00:47:16your control.
00:47:17So, if you're gonna get
00:47:18hair transplants,
00:47:19you're out there
00:47:20in the dating marketplace
00:47:22pretending that
00:47:24you have an attraction
00:47:26that is not real.
00:47:28It's not real.
00:47:29A woman's nose
00:47:30is her nose.
00:47:31If you get
00:47:32your nose reduced,
00:47:33you're hiding
00:47:34your genetics.
00:47:35If you get
00:47:36a hair transplant,
00:47:37you're hiding
00:47:38your genetics.
00:47:44You're hiding
00:47:45your genetics.
00:47:46If you get
00:47:47artificial height,
00:47:48$8,000 in Turkey,
00:47:49your artificial height,
00:47:50you're hiding
00:47:51your genetics.
00:47:52You're defrauding.
00:47:53You're defrauding!
00:47:55I hate myself so much,
00:47:56I'll get
00:47:57radical surgeries
00:47:58to correct
00:47:59the horrors
00:48:00of my accidental
00:48:01physicality.
00:48:04You're making
00:48:05an absolute
00:48:06shrine and marking
00:48:07of your own
00:48:08self-contempt
00:48:09and your own
00:48:10lack
00:48:11of value
00:48:12for virtue.
00:48:14Honestly,
00:48:15it's repulsive.
00:48:19It's repulsive.
00:48:29You know,
00:48:32the glory
00:48:34of your
00:48:36existence
00:48:37is so improbable
00:48:39that to throw away
00:48:40the joy of being
00:48:41for the sake
00:48:42of some accidental
00:48:43protein strands
00:48:44or an inch or two
00:48:45of shinbone
00:48:46is the saddest
00:48:47act of ingratitude
00:48:48that can be
00:48:49possibly conceived of.
00:48:50The entire universe
00:48:51has conspired
00:48:52for 14 fucking
00:48:53billion years
00:48:54to assemble you
00:48:55into the glory
00:48:56of your own existence
00:48:57and you're like,
00:48:58Yeah, but my nose
00:48:59is too big.
00:49:00And my hair
00:49:01is not thick enough.
00:49:02I'm not tall enough.
00:49:03Holy God,
00:49:04the universe
00:49:05should rain fire
00:49:06down upon us
00:49:07for such lack
00:49:08of gratitude.
00:49:11For 14 billion years,
00:49:13there was
00:49:14nothing
00:49:15there was
00:49:16nothing.
00:49:18Only a void.
00:49:20A thoughtless march
00:49:21of dumb atoms
00:49:22whirling around
00:49:23for no reason,
00:49:24purpose, plan
00:49:25or process.
00:49:27No projects,
00:49:28no poetry,
00:49:29no love,
00:49:30no hate,
00:49:31no sex,
00:49:32no death.
00:49:35No concepts,
00:49:36no ideas,
00:49:37no arguments,
00:49:38no syllogisms,
00:49:39no debates.
00:49:40The universe
00:49:41was stupid,
00:49:42blind,
00:49:43dumb,
00:49:44and full of
00:49:45tendrils of life.
00:49:46For billions and billions
00:49:47of years,
00:49:48life is all about
00:49:49fucking,
00:49:50fighting,
00:49:51reproducing,
00:49:52not getting eaten.
00:49:53That's it.
00:49:54That's it.
00:49:55An eternal
00:49:56whirling snack bar
00:49:57of stupid repetition.
00:50:00Don't get eat.
00:50:01Don't get eaten.
00:50:02Find some food.
00:50:03Get laid.
00:50:04Don't get eaten.
00:50:05Find some food.
00:50:06Get laid.
00:50:07Groundhog Day
00:50:08for groundhogs
00:50:09forever.
00:50:10And then,
00:50:11last couple hundred
00:50:12thousand years,
00:50:13we're right at the end
00:50:14of all of this.
00:50:16Post-Cambrian
00:50:17mind explosion
00:50:18and we are in
00:50:19possession of
00:50:20the greatest gift
00:50:21in the known universe,
00:50:22the three pounds
00:50:23of wetware that
00:50:24generates infinity
00:50:25in a tiny skull prison.
00:50:27It's unbelievable
00:50:30what gifts
00:50:31we have been given,
00:50:34what joys,
00:50:36sorrows,
00:50:37risks,
00:50:38triumphs,
00:50:41catastrophes
00:50:42and rewards
00:50:43we have been given.
00:50:46Would you rather
00:50:47be a fruit fly
00:50:49or a sexy fly
00:50:51or would you rather
00:50:52be one of the bacteria
00:50:53in your bowels?
00:50:59Or
00:51:00we in the West
00:51:03with our
00:51:05electric
00:51:06brains
00:51:08and still vibrant

00:51:12capacities.
00:51:15What a gift.

00:51:33We are the only
00:51:35mortal creatures
00:51:36capable of eternity.
00:51:38We're the only
00:51:39finite creatures
00:51:40capable of infinity.
00:51:42We are the only
00:51:44creatures about to die
00:51:46who can live forever
00:51:47in ideas and arguments,
00:51:49poetry, art, music,
00:51:52literature, sculpture.

00:52:16where we've been handed
00:52:17like
00:52:19the heaviest diamond
00:52:21from a swimmer
00:52:22who dies
00:52:23handing it to us
00:52:24on the beach
00:52:26who swam
00:52:27seven oceans

01:10:20that I am
01:10:21grateful
01:10:22that I am
01:10:24Yeah, I don't think it's true.
01:10:26I think it's a cynical statement that people put out to disparage women.
01:10:30I don't think it's true.
01:10:35Alright.
01:10:39You had a saying about a ring that I can't remember.
01:10:41There was an inscription about how good and bad things are temporary.
01:10:44It's not quite so.
01:10:46This is a ring that makes you happy when you're sad and sad when you're happy
01:10:49and the ring has an inscription within it that says
01:10:51this too shall pass.
01:10:58I am so immensely deeply grateful for the life that I have
01:11:03and the kindness and support and interest and fellowship that we have with each other.
01:11:07I am so immensely grateful
01:11:09for the life
01:11:13that I have
01:11:18that
01:11:20to join me on this journey feels like a shared privilege.
01:11:23We both get to join each other on this journey.
01:11:25It feels like a shared privilege.
01:11:30Women in general have a tendency to fall more into anxiety, neurosis, depression
01:11:37and
01:11:38particularly when they're single.
01:11:40I mean, male
01:11:41semen has antidepressants in it for women.
01:11:44So women have a tendency towards
01:11:46a bit of solipsism, a bit of anxiety, a bit of depression
01:11:51and they need men
01:11:53to center them and to
01:11:56steer them back towards the light.
01:11:58I mean, we need women for things absolutely essential as well.
01:12:01But women left to their own devices tend to fall into their own heads.
01:12:05What's that old joke?
01:12:06It's like
01:12:07women's brains work more.
01:12:08It's like, yes, all of that overthinking and jumping to conclusions
01:12:11but women
01:12:13can spiral and men lift them up.
01:12:15And
01:12:16women keep men grounded and make their environments beautiful.
01:12:20But a lot of the modern world
01:12:22is women who don't have
01:12:25men to pull them out of
01:12:27their anxiety and worry and depression.
01:12:34I mean, what is it women get sort of
01:12:37don't do men even have feelings?
01:12:38It's like,
01:12:39well, we can't have as many feelings as you do
01:12:41because someone's got to pull you out of the feeling quicksand, right?
01:12:46All right.
01:12:47Well, hit me with a Y.
01:12:49We can go down only
01:12:51and we can talk about this
01:12:53tenet media thing.

01:13:15so, yes, people would rather do
01:13:17it sounds like you'd rather do the tenet media stuff, right?
01:13:20It's going to be a little spicy.

01:14:01So you'll have a minute.
01:14:02We're going to go a donor only.
01:14:06All right.
01:14:07What do we got here?
01:14:09Nope.

01:14:13And freedom.com slash donate to help out the show.
01:14:15Really would appreciate it.
01:14:16It's a little bit of a low donation situation lately,
01:14:19which is quite exciting for me.
01:14:21So, yeah, if you'd like to join,
01:14:23that would be excellent.
01:14:25And let me just remind myself
01:14:29how I do this.
01:14:31Ah, there we go.
01:14:32Local supporters only.
01:14:33Okay.
01:14:34So local supporters only.
01:14:36And that will go
01:14:38in 25 seconds.
01:14:39We will go to that.
01:14:41World War II revisionism or am I too late?
01:14:44Yeah, this is going to close down the other streams like Rumble.
01:14:46Yeah, that's right.
01:14:47It's going to be only for donors.
01:14:48The World War II revisionism I did like,
01:14:50I don't know, 14 years ago.
01:14:52Honestly, it's too old a topic for me to do now.
01:14:55So, all right.
01:14:56So I'm going to pause this for a sec.
01:14:59And we will then,
01:15:01and you can get the show later.
01:15:03If you subscribe at freedom.locals.com,
01:15:05you can get the show later.
01:15:06It will go out to donors.
01:15:07All right, hang on.
