Why You Are Rejected!

Stefan Molyneux

Sunday Morning Live 8 September 2024  In this episode, I delve into philosophical questions and personal reflections inspired by listener inquiries and recent events, particularly the Turpin family's true crime story. We discuss the challenges of achieving happiness amid profound wrongdoing, the implications of moral failure, and the importance of a strong moral compass in a deceptive culture. I also reflect on the tension between personal ambition and societal expectations, sharing experiences of backlash when raising standards. Our conversation touches on evolving social norms regarding relationships and the impact on individual growth. We conclude with insights on aging, encouraging listeners to embrace life’s complexities and pursue fulfillment. Self-reflection and open dialogue on morality and human connections are central themes throughout the episode.

00:00:00good morning everybody let me tell you let me tell you let me tell you so this

00:00:06morning it's nice out it's sunny I know it's a little chilly 11 degrees but it's

00:00:11nice out and I was like how the hell can I do this show without being in the

00:00:16studio word to your mater and I just can't figure it out because I can't be

00:00:25walking and doing a live stream and I and read the questions that's the

00:00:29problem maybe I'll get James in my ear to read off the questions but that's a

00:00:34little little tricky a little tricky so really really whatever I can do to not

00:00:39be in the studio I'm like thrilled beyond words to do I just for donors and

00:00:44it'll probably go out to the mainstream at some point I finished a true to a

00:00:48two-part true crime series on the Turpin family that's t-u-r-p-i-n the Turpin

00:00:55family where in what was it 13 children aged 2 to almost 30 were kept chained

00:01:01and bound and attacked and starved and so on and you should you can get check

00:01:09that out you can subscribe free domain locals calm for that and we'll get it

00:01:15out to subscribe start today James if you don't mind get it out to subscribe

00:01:19start today but it is really really quite fascinating good morning you could

00:01:25use it could you could use a treadmill that's interesting that's interesting

00:01:29could use a treadmill but I think that the walking in the thumping of the

00:01:33treadmill sound would would be a little crazy making

00:01:37part one was intense it's a thing to subscribe for yes well part two gets

00:01:42even wilder gets even wilder and you know every now and then I really do feel

00:01:48like the spirit bone marrow of the brain universe opens up and spews language out

00:01:53of me like a hand puppet of a lava god I guess there would be one instant that

00:02:00would be one instance of it and the speech that I gave yesterday I read a

00:02:05lot of books and all of that and then I tried not to get lost in the details

00:02:08right because I mean that's sort of a circular statement but there's lots of

00:02:13people who talk about the details of this crime I read a bunch of books

00:02:16watched a bunch of documentaries made a bunch of notes but I really wanted to

00:02:19sit with the philosophy of the Turpin situation and

00:02:27now it's and and the ending is something that will blow your mind will blow your

00:02:33mind even bigger than the work I did on the French Revolution

00:02:38all right let me get to your questions and let's see this show should be a

00:02:42requirement at universities love the work you do

00:02:47yes but that's like saying that a monk a monk who hand writes things should be a

00:02:53requirement at a printing press like no no it's a whole different thing it's a

00:02:57whole different thing

00:03:01yeah people I mean it's very easy to take over a culture you just program

00:03:05people to hate the truth you just call the truth prejudice and bigotry you get

00:03:10them to hate the truth and if you can get people to hate the truth they have

00:03:13no defense against lies and they can be easily taken over

00:03:17all rights

00:03:23let's see is it possible says John is it possible to reach a point at which

00:03:29happiness becomes impossible this could be caused by regret or an

00:03:34inability to cope with your life examples could be people who have

00:03:38inflicted pain on children dictators who have killed millions of people or people

00:03:41sentenced to life in prison

00:03:46is it possible to reach a point at which happiness becomes impossible yes yes

00:03:52there certainly is such a point and sadly it is very easy to predict

00:04:00the heart hardens into a void when restitution becomes impossible do not do

00:04:06the kinds of wrongs for which restitution becomes impossible

00:04:12there's no control said there's no edit undo for certain things once you have

00:04:18harmed someone to the point where

00:04:23they would accept no compensation for the wrong you have done then happiness

00:04:30becomes impossible I I don't know hysterical

00:04:36yeah maybe maybe I have a rabid sensitivity to doing wrong if I do wrong

00:04:45right there's a line from an old bare-naked ladies song I actually saw

00:04:50them once live in New York I was there on business and saw them live in New

00:04:54York pretty good show pretty good show I couldn't tell you I was wrong right I

00:05:02couldn't tell you I was wrong let me just make sure

00:05:06I get the right lyrics I won't sing it because nobody wants to try and sing

00:05:10Stephen Page except Stephen Page

00:05:15oh apparently there are a bunch of people who have

00:05:22it's a it's a really really good song

00:05:27and I couldn't tell you that I was wrong chickened out grabbed a pen and a paper

00:05:33sat down and I wrote this song I couldn't tell you that you were right so

00:05:38instead I looked in the mirror and I watched TV late awake all night

00:05:44right we've got these chains hanging around

00:05:49our necks people want to strangle us with them before we take our first

00:05:52breath afraid of change afraid of staying the same when temptation calls

00:05:55we just look away and it's really a powerful song because it comes from a

00:06:01comic band a comedy band and most comics have an undertow of sadness and

00:06:06depression and that's where the comedy comes from they're trying to elevate

00:06:09themselves as they fall into a well forged from the maternal indifference of

00:06:15their own prehistories usually but

00:06:18when I do wrong it it haunts me it haunts me and I need to find a way to

00:06:27make it right

00:06:30as quickly and as much as possible

00:06:36I don't do it perfectly now the problem is so here's a problem with that so

00:06:40that's a plus yay plus we like the plus but there is a problem with that

00:06:46who can who can guess what the problem is with that

00:07:01oh it's the mic a little loud

00:07:06I can turn it down I have a backup recording here but I can certainly turn

00:07:10it down I can de-do the mic

00:07:17all right how's that any better just to let them in though

00:07:24if that's any better

00:07:28so

00:07:31what is the problem with being very sensitive to doing wrong and wanting to

00:07:37make it right as quickly as possible

00:07:41because it's caused a lot of problems

00:07:46it's caused a lot of problems over the course of my life not so much lately not

00:07:52so much lately but it's caused some problems over the course of my life yeah

00:07:56even people will take advantage so

00:08:00because I'm maybe a bit oversensitive to doing wrong and and therefore if

00:08:06there's a conflict I will take excessive ownership for that conflict and then I

00:08:11will apologize and which means that the other person only has to wait it out

00:08:17right the other person only has to wait it out they just have to wait out until

00:08:21I feel bad and I come and apologize and then they'll be like they can accept my

00:08:26apology and so on right

00:08:30it's sort of like if you get drugged before a boxing match the person just

00:08:35has to wait for you to fall over and then they can claim victory right so a

00:08:39sensitive conscience is a very good thing it's a great thing around good

00:08:43people it is a massive weakness it is a giant hole by which the noxious vapors

00:08:49of your guilt will be extracted along with your soul to be consumed by

00:08:54sociopaths in your environment so you've got to be really really careful if you're

00:08:57very morally sensitive which is a good thing again around good people but you

00:09:02need to be surrounded by other morally sensitive people otherwise there's just

00:09:05this big giant laser mark on your forehead to be exploited

00:09:11exploited that's right

00:09:15they can just wait because you're tortured or upset or challenged by a bad

00:09:19conscience and they're not and so what that means is that they can just wait

00:09:25out your discomfort and then you will crumble so to speak right

00:09:31and of course what I did was I said to myself well I'm just being really

00:09:37responsible and I will oh gosh oh the blindness oh the blindness actually it's

00:09:44worse than blindness because blindness doesn't lead you off a cliff you're

00:09:47cautious when you're blind this is like ah a mall no no it's a cliff edge the

00:09:53blindness because I'm like well you see choir boy stance you see if I if I take

00:09:59moral responsibility in my life and I apologize and I'm I'm just halo I'm just

00:10:04so responsible and then then this this this attitude this approach this

00:10:10maturity will will will march over into the other person's soul that reform it

00:10:15in the image of a strong conscience and I will just spread it like margarine on

00:10:21a stripper's ass I will just spread it to the other person they will they will

00:10:26be around my responsibility and moral sensitivity and it will it will like

00:10:30spores like bacteria it will spread like a cold really it will spread to the

00:10:37other person and they shall becometh like me oh god oh the naivety oh the

00:10:46naivety I I sympathize with it I really do boy that optimism got me through a

00:10:51lot in life and got me out of a pretty terrible situation as a child that

00:10:55optimism super good for me in my childhood not not so good for me in my

00:11:0320s not so well is there no chance

00:11:10see when you're young oh boy you know when you have when you have the capacity

00:11:14to change hello when you have the capacity to change when you're young

00:11:21it's so easy to think that other people themselves have also the capacity to

00:11:29change you know apparently when Freddie Mercury started singing for the band

00:11:34Queen he was originally a roadie and they had a singer when it was kind of

00:11:38half a band called smile Freddie Mercury began singing and the band members were

00:11:43like well you got a lot of stage presence and a lot of confidence but you

00:11:47sound like a dying bull and it took him a while to get his voice under control

00:11:50he was obviously very excited and wanted to show off and to learning to use the

00:11:54delicacy of his voice took quite some time and I mean from the hard rock

00:12:01growls of hammer to fall to the quasi Mexican banjo of who needs you an

00:12:08amazing vocal vocalist obviously one of the greatest that has ever lived and so

00:12:15it took him a while right he didn't sound good at the beginning when Bono the

00:12:20singer for you too also great voice at least when he was younger I think he

00:12:24wrecked it quite a bit but when Bono was younger and first started singing he

00:12:28didn't really know what he was doing and it said it took him a while to figure

00:12:31out how to actually do it

00:12:34so they have great voices that are latent and you just start singing you

00:12:40work on singing you keep singing and then you get better and better right oh

00:12:44yeah an absolute an absolute turbo cuck when it comes to Ireland a man who has

00:12:51ascended from the Emerald Isle to the airless stratosphere of the globalists

00:12:56and watches all the people scurry and he was very big into protecting Ireland in

00:13:00the past doesn't really care about it now now it's absolutely appalling

00:13:04absolutely appalling wretched wretched these people will go down as the least

00:13:09excusable cowards in human history as a whole but that's their choice to make

00:13:13not mine

00:13:16so if you have a latently great singing voice and you just start to work on it

00:13:21you think oh well I'll just give people my tips I just do it like this or try

00:13:27this or approach this you know like I remember when I was in theater school

00:13:31and I was in the second year of the National Theater School in Montreal and

00:13:35we had people who had auditioned and got into first year came to the theater

00:13:40school for a couple of days and I put one of them up was a young a young man

00:13:45super talented young man I mean could play guitar he did gymnastics he was a

00:13:49really great singer and all of that and

00:13:54he was singing something from Phantom of the Opera and let your soul take you

00:14:03where you long to be that note right

00:14:06really it's quite a high note to fit to hit full voice and it's like halfway

00:14:11between baritone and tenor and so I can hit that note but it's pretty uncertain

00:14:16and I'm not saying it's super pleasant I can hit it the way that Floyd

00:14:20Merriweather can hit an abdomen so but he was just like just his voice floated

00:14:25up and he did it and he was just trying to explain it to me like well here's how

00:14:28you hit that note man you just you think a little higher and you just kind of

00:14:31rest and settle down on top and I'm like yeah I don't think that's it I think you

00:14:38just have a better singing voice than I do I don't think I don't think that if I

00:14:43just if I just mentally think Neil Armstrong just float on top just come

00:14:46just float a little bit down from the top of the note and it'll be fine it's

00:14:49like well no but you can sing that note and my voice doesn't go that high very

00:14:54easily and and if your voice doesn't go that high easily you really shouldn't do

00:14:59it if it's not easy for you to do as a singer it's probably going to be quite

00:15:02unpleasant for the kid you hit the strain right

00:15:07crying tears of blood as the audience cries tears of blood from their ears

00:15:12it's just I just I don't have you have the voice I don't have the voice right I

00:15:18mean like oh I've never had any sort of particular physical flexibility like I

00:15:22had lumbago as a kid so my my bones grew faster than my tendons right and so I'd

00:15:28have to take these these crazy baths too because otherwise it was just you know

00:15:32painful and you know when you get jimmy legs and your legs just can't relax and

00:15:35you're like it's terrible on a plane and it's bad I have to stretch like

00:15:39crazy before I get on a plane and I still have to stretch every day I have

00:15:47to stretch every day and I've never been able to touch my toes never and you know

00:15:52I had a friend when I was younger super flexible like he could literally put his

00:15:55his nose to his knees like he was he could like fold over like a like a paper

00:16:00clip like a staple and he was just like well you just need to stretch more you

00:16:05just need to do this it's like no I don't have the tendons you know

00:16:08stretching is bullshit I mean I don't know if you know this stretching is

00:16:11bullshit tendons don't stretch it's a lie now you can get a little bit more

00:16:15comfortable with the discomfort and so on but tendons don't stretch stretching

00:16:20is it's fine and it's a good thing to do for warm-ups and I do it every day I

00:16:24stretch every day for like 10-15 minutes before going to bed I I gotta put my

00:16:28heels down on the stairs I gotta stretch my quads I gotta stretch my glutes and

00:16:33all of that and so I just I it's one of the things I do as part of sort of

00:16:38self-care or just helps me sleep if I don't stretch them I like to get Jimmy

00:16:41legs and I can't sleep so I stretch and he was just like well you just and the

00:16:46number of people over the course of my life if they've noticed for whatever

00:16:49reason that I'm not flexible they're like oh you

00:16:53should really work on that it's like well your eyes aren't blue you should

00:16:56really work on that you know your your height is not my close to six feet you

00:17:01should really work on that it's like the guys with with great hair saying

00:17:07well I don't know I just eat a lot of carrots maybe you should eat more

00:17:09carrots it's like no this is just jeans man you happen to be born with great

00:17:13hair good for you I mean I guess that's fine good for you you happen to be born

00:17:17with great hair I had about eight to ten minutes of good hair in my late teens

00:17:24and so good for you but this idea that you can transfer your qualities to

00:17:30others I mean I know I'm because I'm I'm transferring ideas and arguments

00:17:34and so on yes absolutely to people who are receptive and care and want it it's

00:17:39wonderful but the idea that you can just transfer your virtues to other people

00:17:43who are exploiting your virtues well that

00:17:50that doesn't work because you're rewarding them you're rewarding their

00:17:54corruption with your virtues if you're exploited if you're taking advantage off

00:17:58if you are ground down and insulted then you're transferring you're

00:18:04transferring your submission to people who enjoy dominating you and you're

00:18:09actually just making them worse you're just you're just making them worse you're

00:18:12just making them worse all right

00:18:22well it's like all the teachers right all the teachers I mean hit me with a

00:18:27why if you ever had a teacher who insulted you for not being interested in

00:18:30what he or she was doing

00:18:36I'm rereading my old intellectual journal from when I was 25

00:18:42some good stuff in there but also the frustration that the teachers and

00:18:45professors that was rough man that was rough yeah the teachers are all like

00:18:50what's the matter with you ADHD yeah you're boring you're boring the subject

00:18:56matter is ridiculous I hate being here and you suck

00:19:02but you can't say that you can't win against that you can't do that right

00:19:11so you just have to shut up and it's even like in in the past when I was a

00:19:16student everything was just boring now it's literally toxic I mean half of

00:19:21education is child abuse against you know demographics or race or you know

00:19:26if you're a male or whatever it's just horrible and it's just horrible

00:19:32you can't get philosophy genes and hair genes in the same organism well have you

00:19:37ever seen Nietzsche had a mustache that looked like he was given oral sex to a

00:19:43chipmunk's tail and who else Bertrand Russell kept his hair didn't he

00:19:50I can't remember John Locke didn't keep his hearing sadly when he was older but

00:19:53probably a result of endless untreated infections but yeah there's a couple of

00:19:57philosophers who kept their hair

00:20:02so yeah you can't you can't transfer a conscience to other people the moment

00:20:07you try

00:20:11to transfer a conscience to someone they will just oh somebody who feels bad and

00:20:17will make apologies great

00:20:22my high school history teacher taught us all about a healthy dose of socialism

00:20:26being good I got a perfect score in the class by regurgitating Marxist history

00:20:30yeah we all just got to be trained seals regurgitating the lies that are told us

00:20:37I did a fairly bitter and angry podcast yesterday

00:20:48fairly bitter and angry because somebody was a woman was writing about how

00:20:52wonderful

00:20:54authoritarian parenting was now she didn't mention peaceful parenting but she

00:20:59mentioned that she came from a family of 16 in other words there were three

00:21:03biological children when she was a kid three biological children she was one of

00:21:07those three and her parents adopted 13 children her parents adopted 13 children

00:21:11which could be considered a tad excessive by Liberace hey that's a

00:21:17little gaudy or Elvis well there's a little bit too much fat in that banana

00:21:21peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwich

00:21:27so yeah it's

00:21:31it's terrible because she's saying what we want to teach our kids want to teach

00:21:35our kids that bad decisions have negative consequences we got to teach

00:21:40our kids

00:21:41consequences and we do that by if they don't do what we like we punish them so

00:21:46bad decisions have negative consequences

00:21:51right and then you're going to send your kids off to a school where the bad

00:21:55teachers never get fired

00:21:58and a boring curriculum never gets corrected

00:22:02and then they're going to hear about politicians who lie their asses off and

00:22:07get reelected and then they're going to hear that they were born a million

00:22:12dollars in debt because the boomers didn't want to pay for all the warfare

00:22:14welfare social programs their little heartless hearts desired

00:22:20and then they're going to see that

00:22:23corporate CEOs can strip mine the company bear and retire with all their

00:22:29money intact and then they're going to see that particularly if you're on the

00:22:34left you can do just about every wrong thing in the known universe and never be

00:22:38prosecuted at all

00:22:40but if you're on the right feels like sometime death penalty for parking

00:22:44ticket so

00:22:47the society society at the moment oh and also then they're going to see in high

00:22:52school and they're going to see that

00:22:55there are girls young women who get pregnant out of wedlock and get eighty

00:23:01two hundred thousand dollars worth of free benefits from the government

00:23:11idea idea oh and then they're going to see that everyone who bade like a bunch

00:23:15of rabid vampire wolves are all the unvaccinated a completely welcome in the

00:23:21house nobody ever talks about it again they wanted the right stripped away from

00:23:24people who wanted bodily sovereignty

00:23:27and private medical decisions and they're going to see that all the people

00:23:32who made those terrible decisions perfectly welcome everybody's fine never

00:23:35talk about it again

00:23:43my gosh

00:23:45my gosh

00:23:47no no but we got to teach you that

00:23:50that bad decisions have never get negative consequences so so that you

00:23:55will never fit into the society that literally rewards bad consequences

00:24:00and

00:24:01well it literally rewards bad choices and punishes good choices

00:24:05oh oh did you do the three things you need to do to get out of poverty did you

00:24:09get and hold a job for a year did you finish high school and did you not have

00:24:13a child outside of wedlock

00:24:15oh well then you're going to be taxed at fifty to sixty percent and really if you

00:24:19count unfunded liabilities were taxed at over a hundred percent because they

00:24:22can't be paid off

00:24:25so you get to be a tax surf if you make good decisions and you get all the free

00:24:30stuff in the known universe if you make bad decisions

00:24:35yeah the left stood up and applauded Roman Polanski yeah yeah accused

00:24:42child sexual assaulter

00:24:44yeah yeah boy but if you make those bad decisions boy you should just be

00:24:50punished and that's fine I mean I agree not punishment but I agree that yeah you

00:24:54should teach kids the bad consequences of bad decisions I get that but you

00:24:59should also tell them that that's not how modern society works at all modern

00:25:03society works in the exact opposite way

00:25:07I mean white Western European civilization spent trillions of dollars

00:25:13to end slavery and it cost tens of thousands of lives to end slavery and

00:25:18now who is the only group blamed for slavery right no good deed goes

00:25:22unpunished you really need to teach them that's you really need to

00:25:31teach them bad because that's the way society runs these days and has for many

00:25:39years

00:25:41oh boy negative consequences you just you want to you just bad decisions

00:25:45leading to negative consequences I mean how you going to teach them how to live

00:25:48in the world where the exact opposite principle applies in general

00:25:57all right let me just see if you have any of the comments tips of course

00:26:00welcome free-demand.com slash donate or here welcome as a whole things are a

00:26:05little lean at the moment it is my birthday month but things are a tiny bit

00:26:09lean at the moment and I sympathize with that I no no no I no no no no it's a

00:26:14tough economy so but anything you can spare would be most gratefully and

00:26:18humbly appreciated

00:26:22if I wasn't Christian I would feel like a real mark paying for things and trying

00:26:25to work for a living not knocking up girls paying taxes etc

00:26:29yeah this is one of the slight challenges of Christianity is because

00:26:34you reward is in the afterlife you care a little bit less about the evils of the

00:26:39present not all but some not all but some

00:26:45yeah it's like everybody bags on Christians because they're the group who

00:26:50are claimed that they love their enemies they don't attack people for criticizing

00:26:53them and so on right

00:26:54yeah

00:26:56yeah

00:26:58yeah

00:27:00you know it's really really important important to teach your children that

00:27:04bad decisions have negative consequences and that way everybody can objectively

00:27:10understand what happened to the black lives matter movement after the summer

00:27:13of love in 2020

00:27:19yeah

00:27:22who remembers if you don't like censorship build your own platform then

00:27:25Pavel Durov gets arrested for not censoring now he's been released now I

00:27:29don't know if he was charged but I think he's been released now

00:27:33one of my high school friends died of a drug overdose over a year ago says Val

00:27:37his parents took no responsibility and blamed it all on the disease called

00:27:40addiction they set up a non-profit organization that will essentially pay

00:27:44for more people like their son to get that one last overdose

00:27:48it's insane how evil these parents are

00:27:53I was reading this data I think it's true I don't know that is totally I

00:27:57don't know that is objectively true but somebody was making the case that wait

00:28:01times in Canada for health care kill as many people per capita as the opioid

00:28:07epidemic in America just waiting but 10% of

00:28:13deaths in America in the health care system are dr. era right

00:28:20he got released for telegram will now moderate group chats yeah they took the

00:28:23privacy language out of telegram

00:28:27God forbid people exchange ideas without being controlled

00:28:36he's an out on bail can't leave France or may not

00:28:39yeah yeah they took the privacy language out of telegram I just assume that

00:28:45everything is monitored at all times and so on right

00:28:48all right

00:28:56so I used to do these truths about with regards to school shootings right

00:29:10so this was posted by Colin rug

00:29:13and the truth of this again

00:29:19I it seems true it seems to be reported by credible agencies news outlets and so

00:29:25on so

00:29:28provisionally seems accurate obviously take it with a grain of salt the time

00:29:32tends to not be kind to early narratives but he wrote this just in the mother of

00:29:37Appalachian shooter cult gray called the school on the morning of this

00:29:43evil warning them of an quote extreme emergency

00:29:48according to Washington Post to obtain text messages the mother appeared to

00:29:51have advanced warning of what was happening

00:29:53the text message from Marcy gray to her sister read I was the one that notified

00:29:59the school counselor at the high school sick

00:30:02I told them it was an extreme emergency and for them to go immediately and find

00:30:05my son to check on him

00:30:07a call log shows that Marcy gray had a 10-minute phone call with the school

00:30:10just 30 minutes before the tragedy unfolded

00:30:15a counselor told the Washington Post wrote a counselor told gray during the

00:30:19call in that her son had been talking about a school attack that morning

00:30:23the school then looked for gray but there was confusion between gray and

00:30:26another student with a similar name

00:30:29the administration and the administrator left the classroom after neither student

00:30:32was president present

00:30:34the attack happened moments later

00:30:39according to Colin the school was contacted just one week before the

00:30:43incident by gray's grandmother who was concerned about his mental state

00:30:50just one week before the tragedy the grandmother met with the school

00:30:52counselor to request help sounds like he started therapy days before the

00:30:55incident this was completely avoidable according to Colin

00:30:58rug the Washington Post report also says that called gray spent months begging

00:31:03for mental health help

00:31:04according to Marcy's sister who said the adults around him failed him

00:31:10right

00:31:13now of course the school should have just evacuated and gone in lockdown the

00:31:16moment they got the call from the mother

00:31:21from the Washington Post

00:31:24text also shows that the school and family were in contact about his mental

00:31:28health a week before the attack and that brown told the relative the teen was at

00:31:32the time having homicidal and suicidal thoughts

00:31:42my gosh

00:31:46I mean it's impossible that anybody would let a school shoot have school

00:31:49shooting happening on an election year but oh my gosh

00:31:53oh my gosh

00:32:02yeah

00:32:08yeah

00:32:12just appalling

00:32:17just appalling and that this doesn't call and cause an entire rewrite of the

00:32:21entire system

00:32:24I just like it wasn't a thing when I was young

00:32:28it wasn't really a thing until Columbine in the 90s

00:32:35and this goes back of course to

00:32:40mad in America

00:32:42it's really really important book to read mad in America and I'm going to

00:32:45roughly butcher the thesis sorry if I get parts of it wrong but the thesis of

00:32:48the book mad in America is you know when we got antibiotics infections went down

00:32:53you know when we figured out

00:32:58that scurvy was the result of a lack of vitamin C we put a bunch of lemons and

00:33:03limes which is why the British sailors were called limey's we put a bunch of

00:33:05lemons and limes on the ships and we stopped people stopped dying from scurvy

00:33:14so when we have an advance

00:33:17in medical science you know I'm gonna go with the standard narrative seems to be

00:33:22true I know people argue with it but the when the smallpox vaccine went on

00:33:27which was 17 years to get everyone on board smallpox was no longer a thing

00:33:32when you actually have an advancement in medical science

00:33:39the problem gets a lot better right the problem gets a lot better when people

00:33:45started washing their hands before surgeries post-op infections went way

00:33:50down

00:33:59but the argument is we have all of these drugs that are supposedly there to help

00:34:06people with mental health issues so if we have all of these drugs that are here

00:34:12to help us with mental health issues

00:34:13why do mental health issues keep increasing

00:34:17and it's a very very important question

00:34:25it's the ozempic question

00:34:31I'm going to say this with no medical training no medical knowledge as a

00:34:36complete analogy

00:34:38but everybody wants a pill but most pills or many pills come from the devil

00:34:43himself

00:34:47everybody wants a pill

00:34:52maybe you're depressed because you're in a situation of abuse maybe you're

00:34:57depressed because you're surrounded by sociopaths maybe you're depressed

00:35:00because you can see the way society is going and haven't found a way to live

00:35:04with it maybe you're depressed because

00:35:07you are barred from getting jobs

00:35:10for various reasons

00:35:14discriminatory reasons maybe you're depressed

00:35:17because your children are being indoctrinated in schools maybe you're

00:35:22depressed for any variety of reasons and it seems to me fairly fucking important

00:35:29to get to the base of those reasons

00:35:34maybe it's fairly important to get to the essence of those reasons

00:35:39but people don't want that

00:35:46what they want is a pill

00:35:53an excuse

00:35:59maybe you overeat because he was sexually abused as a child I talked to a

00:36:07very wonderful black woman recently in a call-in show and she was sexually

00:36:13assaulted by black men to the point where she starved herself she simply

00:36:16stopped eating because she wished to reduce her curve so she'd be less

00:36:19attractive

00:36:24nope just take a pill

00:36:30maybe overeating or under eating is the result of

00:36:33sexual abuse

00:36:40maybe the boys have ADHD because the entire curriculum revolves around that

00:36:45which is beneficial to two groups of people propagandists and girls

00:36:54maybe boys are built more to learn by doing

00:36:58maybe we were evolved to be hunters and farmers and soldiers and to be in

00:37:03motion and in action

00:37:07I felt like when I was a kid school was like a physical prison that I had to

00:37:10break free by sprinting as hard and as long as I could whenever I wasn't in

00:37:16school I exercised I was on the cross-country team I was on the water

00:37:21polo team I was on the swimming team I played soccer I was on I did tennis

00:37:26tournaments I just had to move

00:37:30one of my nightmares

00:37:33as a child was to lie in a coffin and have concrete poured over me gave me the

00:37:40shudders

00:37:43because that's what school felt like I was just trapped and had to sit and shut

00:37:49up and pretend to care about in threat of punishment I had to pretend to care

00:37:54about stuff I was completely indifferent to you know there's this old meme it's

00:37:58like history in school

00:38:01you know history is a hobby wow

00:38:04stuff that is so absolutely fascinating

00:38:12there's something wrong

00:38:14with our relationship with food in the modern West

00:38:19and of course the studies in general are corrupted and paid for

00:38:23and we've had to make up for the lack of quality home cooking because women

00:38:29are in school so we've needed more instant meals

00:38:34which means add sugar to everything freeze everything

00:38:39kids are bored restless

00:38:42they don't want to go outside social trust is collapsed as we talked about

00:38:45before in the Putnam studies

00:38:48kids stay home women are anxious they don't have a strong connection with

00:38:52either their children or other parents in the neighborhood

00:39:05it's hell

00:39:09it's hell

00:39:13distracting your mind with screens while refusing to move your body is a recipe

00:39:17for

00:39:19almost every material and spiritual disaster that can be conceived of

00:39:30our relationship with food

00:39:34and exercise

00:39:37is late-stage mass utopia

00:39:42you know the food pyramid

00:39:45bought and paid for by special interest groups

00:39:49and of course I think as a whole the powers that be

00:39:53like you low-key like you lethargic

00:39:59like you to

00:40:01hand spanky yourself into the virtual coma

00:40:07like you to get

00:40:09your kicks and thrills from pushing pixels rather than building forts in the

00:40:13woods

00:40:19they love to have you never learn how to negotiate because all the rules are

00:40:24set for you by school and video games

00:40:35no

00:40:37just take a pill

00:40:39just take a pill

00:40:42just take a pill

00:40:46I mean everybody knows they need to eat less and exercise right everybody knows

00:40:50they need to eat less and exercise more everybody knows that but they don't

00:40:54want to do it

00:40:55they don't want to do it

00:41:01and they don't want to do it because they can get a pill and they don't have

00:41:05to pay for the pill as a whole right there's so much subsidies in these kinds

00:41:08of areas they don't have to pay for the pill and of course if they don't take

00:41:11the pill the government has to spend what half a million to a million

00:41:15per year on chronic health conditions and the number and amount of chronic

00:41:19health conditions I mean this is

00:41:21RFK jr.'s gig and it's a good gig it's a reasonable gig is a powerful gig which

00:41:27is the amount of chronic health conditions

00:41:34it's just staggering

00:41:38it's just staggering

00:41:41how many people do you know

00:41:43in your life no that's a little odd because who knows how many people you

00:41:47know what percentage of people in your life are dealing with chronic health

00:41:51conditions

00:41:54what percentage of people in your life are dealing with chronic health

00:41:57conditions

00:41:59I'm trying to think I don't

00:42:02because I'm an older parent a lot of my friends are younger chronic health

00:42:06conditions

00:42:10I suppose it depends on on how many extended family members you have and

00:42:16particularly older people

00:42:21chronic health conditions

00:42:26so some people are saying 10 to 20 percent 0 percent 0 percent 75 plus or

00:42:31plus 75 and I'm maybe I mean I'm probably about 10 to 20 percent now some

00:42:36of them are just older there's older people and there's just stuff that's

00:42:39going to happen

00:42:42and of course a lot of people don't really talk about it but it's a big

00:42:45issue there's the chronic health conditions are just crazy

00:42:57all my friends are 20 to 30 though well that's yeah that certainly is going to

00:43:00help a little right

00:43:02about 30 percent or so I would say obesity and addiction to tobacco slash

00:43:06alcohol

00:43:06tobacco and alcohol are definitely going down like the coolness of tobacco and

00:43:10alcohol is going down it's been going down for a long time with regards to

00:43:13tobacco but finally we're breaking the back of the black hearted obsidian beast

00:43:18that kills people wantonly called alcoholism

00:43:21finally finally finally my gosh the drinking culture when I was younger was

00:43:27just

00:43:28insane

00:43:31pro-drinking pro-drinking party party party

00:43:35hangovers are funny falling over when you're drunk is funny

00:43:38stupid things

00:43:40when

00:43:42you are young

00:43:46the drinking culture

00:43:48now when I was fighting tooth and nail last time I got drunk I was 21

00:43:54I tried drinking

00:43:57in my I was 17 or so I tried for a couple of weekends and I'm like well

00:44:03this blows

00:44:05I don't get this magical altered state of consciousness I'm basically just me

00:44:08but physically disoriented

00:44:11yay spins yay gotta pee again yay and then the next day is just a total

00:44:16write-off

00:44:17I mean there's no endless gray afternoon like the Sunday after drinking with a

00:44:23hangover

00:44:28somebody says I had a chronic debilitating illness and it was the

00:44:32saddest time in my life felt like I was watching my life waste away

00:44:36we'd use is going up is that the case is that the case

00:44:43I mean alcohol and weed are the two ultimate loser drugs at least with

00:44:46nicotine you get a stimulant

00:44:49and this is another reason why one of the reasons that immigrants come in I

00:44:59think in particular in England is that the drinking culture in England is so

00:45:02crazy that it's tough to find anybody who's willing to work and work well

00:45:07Scotland's drinking culture is awful my husband lost so many of his family due

00:45:10to alcohol and cigarettes

00:45:13to me you know alcohol in particular it is taking a long slow acid pee on the

00:45:25Mona Lisa of your own body

00:45:27it's poison it's poison it is alcohol is poison

00:45:37somebody says I hate that part of drinking culture I enjoy having a large

00:45:40variety of wines and liquors and usually drink eight milliliters of

00:45:43alcohol a week people who pound 24 pack a beer each weekend are depressing

00:45:48well we can certainly talk about beer culture in men but what I find is is is

00:45:55far less challenged is wine culture in women

00:46:01I mean the woman with the glass of wine usually red wine in her hand in social

00:46:07media is ubiquitous and the drinking culture for women is constantly promoted

00:46:12wine moms you know wine aunts you know materialism useless purchases and

00:46:21self-poisoning through alcohol is constantly pushed

00:46:26oh yeah whenever I would criticize weed you know you say to an alcoholic you

00:46:31drink too much is like yeah it's a problem you say to a weed addict you

00:46:34smoke too much weed and they're like here comes the wall of stupid text

00:46:44so many dating profiles have girls each photo with some different alcoholic

00:46:47drink

00:46:50I don't really talk that much about my brother I mean it's not his fault that

00:46:53I'm semi-prominent right semi-charmed kind of life

00:46:58huge flex among women for sure

00:47:01weed is obviously the drug of choice for the elites who want to dose our

00:47:11population right weed video games pornography it's the trifecta of keeping

00:47:16people pacified

00:47:22yeah I mean isn't this whole joy campaign among leftist politicians just

00:47:27about drinking it seems to be it seems to be

00:47:30yeah it's very sad

00:47:37why is that a meme I don't know exactly why it is a meme

00:47:43I think that one of the reasons why alcoholism is promoted not just to women

00:47:50but by women is alcohol signifies leisure and sexual

00:47:56availability because alcohol is a disinhibitor right you know the old

00:48:00thing of like liquor up front poker in the rear but you know that whole thing

00:48:05about getting a woman drunk in order to have sex with her so alcohol is a

00:48:08disinhibitant right disinhibitor sorry so it reduces a woman's judgment in the

00:48:14same way that birth control pill a trophies a woman's sense of fear and

00:48:19anxiety and danger right so birth control pills are one of the reasons for

00:48:25various things going on in Europe at the moment right

00:48:30so for a woman showing that you can drink particularly during the day wine

00:48:36with lunch right so wine with lunch is a status among women because it says that

00:48:40they don't have to go back to work

00:48:49so

00:48:52it also signals if a woman is posing with

00:48:57wine or alcoholic drinks then she's signaling that she will drink which

00:49:02means she's more likely to sleep with you sooner so it's a mating it's an

00:49:06R-selected mating display

00:49:10Val says

00:49:13I would argue alcohol has its place in society I believe Ed Dutton did a piece

00:49:16a show on alcohol as a selection pressure in social evolution races that

00:49:20recently introduced alcohol have significantly more problems Native

00:49:23Americans Irish

00:49:25what the hell does that mean alcohol has its place in society what does have its

00:49:30place in society mean are you saying that evolutionarily speaking it was

00:49:35safer to drink alcohol than water

00:49:37yes of course of course

00:49:42of course

00:49:43James can you look up birth control pill reduces women's capacity to sense

00:49:47danger

00:49:51so

00:50:00it's a signals leisure it's it's like long nails signal leisure I don't have

00:50:04to work with my hands white dresses signal leisure I don't have to worry

00:50:07about getting dirty well-done hair signifies leisure I don't have to do any

00:50:11physical labor for women signifying leisure is signifying status because it

00:50:18means that they're so hot and attractive and manipulative and sexy that men will

00:50:21pay their bills

00:50:29so alcohol has its place in yeah I mean I've talked about this I talked about

00:50:33this some months ago so just touching it briefly here

00:50:37that I read I used to I used to be fascinated by reading diaries from

00:50:43people in the past I find diaries absolutely fascinating this is like a

00:50:45little window into something that otherwise would be completely lost to

00:50:49history

00:50:50and it's like I watched the beginning of I've never watched the show before

00:50:56little house on the prairie and there's a somewhat emotionally incontinent dad

00:51:03and a dog that can't doesn't make it across the river and so on and of course

00:51:07all of these things because it was written by the daughter and I'm sure all

00:51:10of these things happened I mean probably not exactly as they were but all these

00:51:13things happened and all of these tiny events that came and went big in a

00:51:18family invisible to the world as a whole all of these tiny events were then

00:51:23recorded written down serialized made into a TV series that was very popular

00:51:29Michael Landon was at London this is the star the producer and and and all that

00:51:34and director I mean very very talented guy

00:51:37it's very very talented here and all of these little tiny slices then just get

00:51:42saved forever is one of the reasons I'm a little bit of a want my thoughts to be

00:51:46recorded because thoughts are in passing they just go gone dead buried with you

00:51:49but there's a way that you can you know write them into the constellations of

00:51:56the sky like all the disparate things that happen you can draw lines between

00:51:59them and and keep them alive so I was reading this diary of a barge worker in

00:52:06the 19th century in England and he said like I didn't want to drink I don't want

00:52:09to drink alcohol but I can't get the energy milk doesn't give it to me and

00:52:12it's a little it's easy to get sour milk water doesn't do it enough the only thing

00:52:16that gives me the energy to do my barge work is is alcohol now you don't know if

00:52:20he was like a real alcoholic who's like well I tried I tried right but uh so

00:52:24does alcohol have its place in society again I don't know what that means

00:52:31I don't know what that means

00:52:34you

00:52:38Victorian women used arsenic laced makeup to whiten the skin to say they

00:52:42didn't have to be on the Sun all day yeah that's right yeah that's right

00:52:48for a woman to be physically incapable of labor is very high status right

00:53:05Denisa says there was a 34 year old man from Canada that used to talk to me all

00:53:09through middle school and high school I blocked him on everything but now for

00:53:13whatever reason it's haunting me that he might still be preying on girls he was

00:53:17never inappropriate but clearly was a predator I'm struggling with whether I

00:53:19should do something about it or not oh that's tough I'm so sorry and why

00:53:25didn't you tell your parents I mean I guess he knew that you wouldn't tell

00:53:28your parents which is why he was willing to to talk with you

00:53:35you

00:53:37yeah long nails hair weaves excessive makeup is also a status symbol as well

00:53:42because it says you'd not out in the Sun having to sweat right

00:53:48if you don't trust yourself with alcohol then don't drink at least if you don't

00:53:52trust who you're with don't women's friends acts as chaperones anymore now

00:53:55the daughter of the lady who wrote Little House on the Prairie is super

00:53:59influential in American libertarianism well that's cool

00:54:03all right let's get to your other question any tips forthcoming if you

00:54:08haven't tipped for a while I would really really appreciate it thank you

00:54:11thank you very much

00:54:14all right let's get to a question on potential

00:54:26hi Steph how did actualizing your potential look like for you did you have

00:54:30to build up your self-esteem and belief in yourself Nietzsche says it is often

00:54:35our potential that scares us no it is not our potential that scares us and I

00:54:40would disagree with our mustachioed friend it is not our potential that

00:54:45scares us

00:54:51it is other people's response to our potential that scares us and with good

00:54:56reason too with good reason if you become great at what you do you

00:55:02harm the vanity of others

00:55:07and when you harm the vanity of others

00:55:12they will come for you you have to think about it in terms of mating or sexual

00:55:16selection right so the guy who's the most attractive

00:55:23earns the hatred of the less attractive men because he's raising the standard

00:55:27and he's getting the best women or the best woman so the guy who's very

00:55:33attractive and in particular thank you for the tip in particular if he is both

00:55:38attractive and nice if he's attractive and psychotic then you probably don't

00:55:43want to mess with him but if he's attractive and nice and the jocks are

00:55:47hated by the nerds but the jocks in general are mentally healthier than the

00:55:52nerds they're not just healthier in body they're healthier in mind because

00:55:56of the self-discipline and coordination and team sports and self-confidence and

00:56:00so on right and they move the nerds sit and whine the athletes talk and move

00:56:06they're better at negotiating they're better at reasoning with people they

00:56:10have more self-discipline and so on right so this hatred of the jock is that

00:56:16you get the the nerds are smart and the jocks are dumb right that's just

00:56:21propaganda and it's a cope and nerds indulge in that propaganda so they don't

00:56:27have to go out and start exercising they feel superior we're the smart ones and

00:56:32they're there they're the jocks and it's like no athleticism is not negatively

00:56:37correlated with IQ at all as far as I know in fact I think it's positively

00:56:40correlated although I'm happy to be corrected on that if anybody can find

00:56:43the data this is going off some long-ago memories back when I was studying IQ

00:56:47quite a bit

00:56:49so the resentment towards the excellent is foundational and we understand it is

00:56:56a reproductive strategy right it's a reproductive strategy to

00:57:02spread hatred and lies against those who are better than you at something in some

00:57:09important manner that is important right so the nerds don't want to compete with

00:57:16the jocks so they spread the lie that the jocks are mean racist bigoted

00:57:21homophobic dumb abusive drunken like they just spread all these lies and you

00:57:27can see this everywhere everywhere because you know the nerds end up

00:57:30writing the movies right the nerds end up writing the movies and so movies are

00:57:35just long one long absolute vampire howl at the physically beautiful and the

00:57:45athletically successful just one long absolute low-rent trashy howl of rage

00:57:51and anger at revenge of the nerds you know there's a Ted

00:57:57McGinley or whatever like all of the jocks are just stupid and they smash

00:58:01beer cans on their head and they hate minorities and they and they they beat

00:58:06up their girlfriends and you know but it's the soft sensitive soulful Brendan

00:58:10Lee a crow guy the goth guy he's the real he's the real nice one he's the

00:58:14one you come on man it's just sad I mean it's just sad it's such a pathetic cope

00:58:21I mean I get that the life of the mind is cool but there's nothing wrong with

00:58:30working with the body working on the body helping the body out because I

00:58:35don't I don't know what anyone's beliefs are really and unless they're exercising

00:58:41I don't know because we know that exercise makes people it makes ideology

00:58:47change right exercise changes people's political orientation so I don't know if

00:58:56you're a leftist or just physically weak and you can't protect yourself and so

00:59:01you run to the government I don't know if you're a leftist because you're

00:59:05unattractive and you want to marry the government because you can't get

00:59:07resources from a man or if you're a leftist for some ideological reason

00:59:11until people exercise I don't know what they believe and they don't know what

00:59:15they believe either it's just a cope

00:59:20so I was in the position of being an attractive young man of being a good

00:59:29actor of being a really good athlete now I'm no excellent athlete but I was

00:59:36pretty good for for high school I came in seventh and swimming in Canada in

00:59:39Ontario so it's not bad right I mean particularly considering how little

00:59:44chance I had to practice because of home chaos and job so I did pretty well

00:59:50and I have a pleasant speaking voice I can sing a little I'm tall higher taller

00:59:57than average and so on right so you know as a young man I was a fairly reasonably

01:00:03high status specimen and so on and I've got a quick wit and I'm funny and I'm

01:00:10good at debates and so all of these things and and you feel this tall poppy

01:00:15syndrome right as you get better as you get more successful as you aim high you

01:00:20get this resentment of the the troggs in the vicinity right they hate you they'll

01:00:25undermine you they mad at you they trash-talk you they put you down and

01:00:29it's a lot of what's happening that and even if you get the girl even if you get

01:00:34the girl and you're out of the market you get married you you're out of the

01:00:38market they still hate you because you're still raising the standards and

01:00:41they're terrified that the girl they get was fantasizing about you couldn't get

01:00:46you and therefore they're left with leftovers right

01:00:52actualizing potential is a risky risky business man because the amount of

01:00:56resentment and hatred it brings about from people is enormous

01:01:01is enormous

01:01:05now if you actualize your potential economically say and then you jump to

01:01:10the support of the powers that be then you're safe from the hurt right

01:01:26so actualizing my potential

01:01:30is like threading a needle

01:01:34in a plane crash

01:01:36right you want to actualize your potential but not to the point where

01:01:42you bring the hatred of the average and below average down upon you like a ton

01:01:45of bricks because although you may be a hundred times better than them at

01:01:48something you know ten of them

01:01:51or five of them will physically overpower you and beat you up

01:01:55so the range of the intellect the differences in the intellect are far

01:01:59greater than the differences in the body right so

01:02:03I can be a hundred times as intelligent as someone

01:02:07but if they sucker punch me I'm still going down and my brain is damaged right

01:02:10so

01:02:17yeah and and girls do the same thing too right so the girls are like

01:02:20she was so beautiful but oh so boring I'm wondering what am I doing here now

01:02:26that's not a girl but it's a girly man guy from simply read so

01:02:33does anyone out there really care about the colors in your hair

01:02:38my little golden baby where have all your birds flown now

01:02:45yeah so the girls all put out this dumb blonde thing right

01:02:51I want a burger and some fries and a coke

01:02:56uh ma'am this is a library oh sorry I want a burger some fries and a coke

01:03:04right so yeah the dumb blondes and and all of that that the good-looking people

01:03:08are just vacuous empty and dumb and dull and and so on I mean these are

01:03:12just it's all put out there right it's all put out there

01:03:16I'm very sad

01:03:24so with regards to my potential I remember when I first started really

01:03:29writing I wrote a book called The Jealous War

01:03:31about the first world war which has always been a topic of

01:03:35fascination for me and the words just came pouring out

01:03:41easy easy writing has never been difficult for me

01:03:44well with one exception uh so oh that exception being character like

01:03:52when you have 20 characters in a scene as a novel it's very tough in a movie

01:03:55it's easy because they can just all be in the background but in a novel

01:03:58it's tough so

01:04:05it was very easy and I remember being quite surprised at

01:04:09how easy it was and how the language flowed I mean you can see this that the

01:04:13analogies and metaphors just can come tumbling out of the brain

01:04:16my brain in almost a pre-assembled format it's almost like a

01:04:21beat poetry or something like that and that's just really cool and for me it's

01:04:25cool to just for me it's like I scrunch up a piece

01:04:28of paper I throw it and it lands in a complex origami pattern

01:04:31like Edward James Olmos in Blade Runner just wow how did that happen

01:04:37cool let's see if we can do that again and now I've been doing it for over 40

01:04:40years uh it is uh it is working so

01:04:45the the visuals and the language all just kind of come flowing out for me

01:04:48it's a really beautiful thing for me I'm very very blessed to have this ability

01:04:52I try to I did not earn the ability and therefore

01:04:56I try to put it to as good a use as possible because I'm so

01:05:01good at languages or language I'm also great I don't know

01:05:04like 17 different computer languages and so on so I'm pretty good

01:05:07at all that kind of stuff as well

01:05:11so you just have to start doing stuff and accept when you do it well

01:05:18and also accept that when you do something well that serves no one in

01:05:22power so if you do something well that helps those in power you will

01:05:27get promoted and praised right so I mean Stephen King writes well and

01:05:32provokes a sense of prickling horror in the minds of the masses and people

01:05:37who are frightened are easier to rule so he's promoted

01:05:40and and paid handsomely to turn into what looks like a lesbian aunt

01:05:44complaining about Trump on a regular basis so

01:05:49if but if you have great powers of communication

01:05:53and you do not serve the powers that be then you become an enemy to be

01:05:56underwrite right

01:06:06all right so no it's not a potential that scares us

01:06:11it is the rage of

01:06:16the envious that scares us

01:06:22I mean this is one of the reasons why if you're an abusive relationship you're

01:06:25isolated right so if you have a girlfriend who's kind

01:06:28of nasty and weird and controlling then she doesn't want you hanging with

01:06:32your friends and she certainly doesn't want to hang with

01:06:36a positive helpful friendly nice

01:06:41encouraging supportive girlfriend right so if you've got some sort of mean

01:06:45girlfriend who's putting you down and then you hang with a friend and his

01:06:50girlfriend is like really nice and positive and so on

01:06:52your girlfriend is going to get really vengeful and petty and and resentful

01:06:58right because she doesn't want you seeing the opposite of her

01:07:01she doesn't want to see you seeing a higher standard

01:07:05and I mean maybe some girlfriends would be like oh wow they seem to be a lot

01:07:09happier she's really supportive I should really work on that but that's not very

01:07:11common in fact it's a largely a mythological

01:07:14beast or creature

01:07:17but

01:07:23she's gonna resent she's gonna hate that girl oh she's so fake she's so phony

01:07:27she's so this she's so that and so she's clearly warning you to stay

01:07:30away from her so that you don't raise your standards and you don't look over

01:07:33and say well crap she's really nice what the hell

01:07:37why who am I stuck with right she doesn't want that right

01:07:41so even being in a healthy relationship is dangerous

01:07:46right being in a healthy relationship is dangerous

01:07:49because people see your healthy relationship and those people in

01:07:53dysfunctional relationships

01:07:58get resentful and if they can't avoid you they will

01:08:02lie about you undermine you try to destroy your reputation oh you think

01:08:05you're so perfect but let me tell you what I heard right you think you you

01:08:08think he's so great let me tell you what I heard

01:08:10right and just they just make up lies and so even happiness and joy

01:08:15is dangerous because of the resentment

01:08:21of people who are lords mayors and masters of trash planet

01:08:30you ever notice this

01:08:33you ever notice this this is why I cannot thank you for the tip this is why

01:08:38I can't be around people who have dysfunctional relationships I can't

01:08:41I can't there's this somebody posted this on twitter

01:08:46not too long ago they said um

01:08:51my husband met me at a restaurant was so happy to see me that the couple

01:08:54at the next table broke up yes right exactly exactly you can't be too

01:09:01happy around dysfunctional people you can't be too much in love around bitter

01:09:04people you can't be too liberated around

01:09:07claustrophobic and self-controlled people

01:09:13what is the resentment against me I mean it's just the price you have to pay

01:09:24I mean do people really hear my reports of my marriage

01:09:28hear my interactions live with my daughter

01:09:32and think well that's a bad guy it's not the case at all

01:09:36it's not the case at all

01:09:39when you raise the standard of humanity

01:09:46you provoke pathological anxiety in those who will not meet that standard and

01:09:52they will attempt to attack you and often quite successfully

01:09:58you

01:10:03actualizing your potential you have to do it bit by bit

01:10:07you know it's it's like an army an army you can say oh we're just going to

01:10:11conquer the whole thing and it's like no you got to go bit by bit and establish

01:10:14your supply lines because if you go too far your supply lines get cut off and

01:10:17you're isolated right napoleon style hitler in russia

01:10:20style so you have to take your potential bit by

01:10:24bit and adjust it's like weight loss you can't just lose it all

01:10:26in my humble opinion i'm no nutritionist but this is sort of what

01:10:29i've heard if you lose it all the problem is your

01:10:32body goes into starvation mode so you lose a bit consolidate lose a bit

01:10:35consolidate that seems to be the way to do it at least that's the way that i've

01:10:38done it and you know it's worked for me so

01:10:40it's not advice to anyone else it's just what's worked for me

01:10:43you know lose five or ten sit there for a while lose five or ten sit there for

01:10:45a while so

01:10:49actualizing your potential is just bit by bit

01:10:53right the story of icarus is real right icarus wanted to fly as high as he could

01:10:56put wings on flew too close to the sun sun melted the wax on his wings he

01:11:01plummeted to his death right

01:11:11achieve your potential at great peril and if your potential is not just for

01:11:19yourself but if you achieve your potential

01:11:22and

01:11:28it has an impact on other people's self-esteem

01:11:33man that's rough that's rough on them

01:11:40so there's there's two strategies right in life which is to be as great as you

01:11:47can be or to indulge your lowest instincts and

01:11:53attack anyone who does better

01:11:59so i didn't have to build up my self-esteem and belief in myself

01:12:02i did things that for me were amazing some of the poetry i wrote the books

01:12:07early books i wrote worked like 30 plays and i just thought they were great

01:12:11and some some better than others of course right and when i finally sort of

01:12:13hit did hit my potential uh i thought i was really doing some

01:12:18amazing stuff and the amount of in they'll try to get

01:12:24you with indifference and then they'll try they'll get you with hostility right

01:12:27but rarely direct hostility it's usually sort of around the back right

01:12:35i mean i had i had a friend when he met the woman who was going to become my

01:12:40wife he just completely freaked out now he'd never had a successful

01:12:42relationship and he could see the quality of woman that she was and he

01:12:46just i couldn't speak he was normally very

01:12:49eloquent he just completely freaked out because

01:12:51something looming comes in that changes your standards you know changing

01:12:53standards is a very dangerous business it's a very dangerous business because

01:12:57everyone thinks they're the best and when it turns out they're not a lot

01:13:01of times they get really resentful and hostile so

01:13:05everyone talks about the upside of improvement and raising your standards

01:13:08very few people talk about the danger and risk

01:13:11of blowback now that's what i love about the hobbit

01:13:15blew my mind when i read that book because normally it's like well we get

01:13:20the pirate's treasure and everything's great and we killed the dragon and

01:13:22everything's great it's like nope now there's a fight over the treasure

01:13:26right and this is you've achieved gold in your life now everyone comes to

01:13:28pillage you right i mean the simple examples of course are

01:13:32the endless disasters that strike in the hearts and homes of people who

01:13:35win the lottery terrible terrible stuff

01:13:41what's your take on working for the government as a public servant so i can

01:13:43keep the wife at home to raise the children

01:13:51isn't that a false dichotomy why can't you get a job in the private sector

01:13:55oh the woman who had the older guy no my mom knew he mailed things to my family

01:13:59home wow

01:14:03that's terrible what about your dad i guess he's absent right which is

01:14:07right anybody who wants the father out of the household almost certainly wants

01:14:10to prey on the children uh it took me all the 25 minutes to use

01:14:13ai to pull up the ungodly amount of psychological and physiological health

01:14:16effects of habitual weed use it's well documented for everyone with the

01:14:18internet yeah for sure

01:14:33steph why does it annoy me so much when men say the wife rather than my wife

01:14:37really annoys me i have no idea why i think i share your annoyance i'm not

01:14:41sure exactly why the wife it's yeah because it's a category

01:14:47rather than a person so it indicates a relationship with a category rather than

01:14:51the individual who inhabits that category so that's probably it

01:14:56you

01:15:01a woman says i was on birth control for 20 years

01:15:05looking back now it's like looking back on someone else's life i don't identify

01:15:10with the decisions made at all yeah for sure

01:15:19uh so the woman who was um the older guy was

01:15:23in contact with she says i'm not close to my mom and basically everything she

01:15:26did raising me was insane and i don't respect her at all

01:15:29but it's still annoying at me independent of my mom that he is still

01:15:32out there and i did nothing as an adult to stop him

01:15:35but if he didn't do anything illegal or inappropriate

01:15:39how would you stop him

01:15:45i think you're the first joke you're the first person ever to make a joke

01:15:50i'm all for sports but i think water polo must be hard on the horses yeah

01:15:53nobody's ever made that joke before excellent

01:15:59no wonder all the guys at the gym hate me yeah

01:16:03getting good at things is a pretty transferable skill i've never seen any

01:16:06evidence that people are all only good at one thing and everyone

01:16:10is good at something

01:16:14well but frankly you're a woman right

01:16:18so um with with men we we tend to be really good or really bad

01:16:24uh women tend to be clustered more around the middle

01:16:28no you posted an article on birth control reducing stress reactivity yeah

01:16:33when out jogging the number of people who give you evil looks is insane yeah

01:16:36for sure old joke what do you call three bronze

01:16:38all standing in a row a wind tunnel yeah what do you what's the

01:16:43same between a blonde and a bottle of beer both empty from the neck

01:16:46right well i mean blonde is very attractive right it's golden hair it's

01:16:50very attractive blonde and blue white right so you have to trash that right

01:16:57i find the characters in atlas strike to be very relatable and inspiring they're

01:17:00excellent at everything they do and they constantly think about the

01:17:03morality of their actions

01:17:06yeah um i found them inspiring but not relatable but

01:17:10not anything to do with you i'm just telling you my experience right people's

01:17:14horrible behavior towards me for my potential has really

01:17:16adversely impacted my life yeah

01:17:23a question for you do you have a hard time remembering the epic things you

01:17:26said if you don't record them i improvise music and sometimes i create

01:17:29something amazing but i forget to record it and easily forget about it

01:17:31so it has gone to the ether yes that is true that is a big

01:17:35big problem i mean you've seen me gap out sometimes and i go one too many

01:17:39branches of tangents off the main topic and like what the hell was i talking

01:17:42about so yes absolutely uh it is a big thing the number of songs that have come

01:17:47out of jam sessions where somebody recorded like

01:17:50the song american woman by the guess who burton cummings great singer

01:17:54this that came out of somebody just happened to record something they jammed

01:17:57at live and said hey you should make a song out of this this happens all the

01:18:00time all the time so yeah just record

01:18:04everything you can always erase it right

01:18:09people with dysfunctional relationships don't want to believe happy

01:18:11relationships exist yeah that's right i mean i'm telling you if if y'all could

01:18:16be around my family for a day i mean most people

01:18:20were like wouldn't even know they wouldn't comprehend it they just

01:18:22wouldn't comprehend it how much laughter and fun and affection

01:18:27i mean i just wouldn't understand it

01:18:34what was it robert smith of the cure recorded him and his wife and he said

01:18:38we sound like a bunch of insane people in an asylum

01:18:47well this is one of the reasons why i really got

01:18:52um objectivism right hatred of the good for being the good

01:18:57but it's not just evil it is a reproductive strategy

01:19:01if you can like if you can drive out the handsome tall and rational

01:19:08then your short anti-rational ugliness uh you

01:19:12change the whole scale right

01:19:18thank you so much staff perhaps i feel a lot of fear to actualize my potential as

01:19:22i am treating the people in my life like my parents despite having only

01:19:25loving nurturing friendships in my life well if you have loving nurturing

01:19:30friendships in my life why haven't they talked to you about this

01:19:40yeah tall poppy syndrome is real hide and keep a low profile to avoid getting

01:19:43target cost us a life never lived yeah see i

01:19:46don't i don't agree with that either if you're given potential you have to

01:19:50try and find a way to maximize it without

01:19:52being destroyed by the resentful

01:20:08i heard a man introduce his wife this is kelly my wife he explained

01:20:12to me in private why he did that she is a person in her own right in addition to

01:20:15her relationship with him what

01:20:21i'm sorry i don't understand that she's a person in her own right in addition to

01:20:25her relationship with him no she's not i'm not am i a person in

01:20:30my own right independent of my relationship with my wife

01:20:33no i'm not like hoarding a part of myself out of the marriage i'm not

01:20:37you know i mean what what do you mean she's a person in her own right in

01:20:41addition to her relationship with him no you're a married you're on flesh

01:20:44you're like two trees that have grown together trying to be individualists

01:20:48my god you the the life that you blend together

01:20:51their finances health care concern family children

01:20:55i mean you are one flesh

01:20:59i mean if my wife were to say uh uh well i introduce you as steph my husband

01:21:04because i recognize that you are an individual with your own personality

01:21:08and preferences and existence outside of the marriage i'm like

01:21:12no i'm not no i'm not you know first thing i uh do when i wake up in the

01:21:18morning is um hey how can i benefit my family how can

01:21:22i work with my family how can i make things better with my family

01:21:27i don't know i it seems to me odd that you would want to

01:21:34you know it's like doubles tennis i don't know if you've played doubles

01:21:36tennis or double pickleball or double record sports or whatever i've even

01:21:39played double squash which was quite complicated

01:21:41so in doubles tennis you'd say well i have my own tennis game completely

01:21:45independent of what you're doing it's like no you don't

01:21:47it's doubles tennis you're literally working with each other and everything

01:21:50you do is based upon in part what the other person is doing

01:21:54there's no independent game you're a team

01:22:00i'm on a relay race team but i'm my own runner completely independent i have an

01:22:05old no you're not you're part of a team

01:22:09i don't i don't understand and i'm sorry if i'm missing something obvious but

01:22:16what does that mean

01:22:20uh Steph got rejected by a woman last week feels kind of crappy

01:22:23but no big deal thanks to what i've learned from you thank you very much

01:22:26regular donor well thank you i appreciate that

01:22:28i appreciate that and i'm sorry to hear that i really am

01:22:32i really am and got rejected by a woman last week

01:22:36okay so you feel you say i got rejected the language is important

01:22:41right the language is important

01:22:46so let me let me ask you this

01:22:52let's say that you are an art expert and you find

01:22:57a monet

01:23:01painting

01:23:04at a garage sale and the guy's like hey man 10 bucks take it off my hands you're

01:23:08like great and then you take the monet painting to

01:23:12a variety of places a pawn shops saying i want some money or

01:23:16a variety of places art shops or whatever galleries

01:23:20and you show them the painting let's say you don't tell them it's a

01:23:24monet you show them the painting say how much it would give you this is this

01:23:26you get where'd you get this at a garage sale it's worthless ah forget it right

01:23:33and then you take it to one art gallery where the guy's like

01:23:37holy crap that's an original monet

01:23:43goosebumps 10 million dollars

01:23:5110 million dollars now do you feel that you are

01:23:59just your painting is being rejected you're being rejected

01:24:02no what's happening is

01:24:05the people don't recognize the quality now i understand there's limitation say

01:24:10well they just recognize it as a monet and blah blah blah right

01:24:16but if you say i'm rejected then you're putting other people in a

01:24:21position of sovereign and value judgment and they're rejecting you

01:24:24and you feel lesser because of that

01:24:30but what if you say she did not recognize my quality

01:24:36right you understand this is dunning kruger 101

01:24:40it takes quality

01:24:44to see quality

01:24:47it was after i took almost two years of acting training that i realized how

01:24:55great marlon brando was you know there are people i saw fuzzy

01:25:01footed prince did a live concert where he was doing um

01:25:06you know a live concert and he did a live concert and he did a live concert

01:25:11and he did a live concert and he did a live concert and he did a live concert

01:25:15where he was doing um play that funky music

01:25:20wide boy and he just guitars away right and it's like yeah that's a cool solo

01:25:24right and i was looking through the comments and one guy was like i playing

01:25:27i've been playing guitar for 40 years i kind of understand what he's doing like

01:25:30it's so incredibly great and what eric clapton say what does it

01:25:33feel like to be the world's best guitarist i don't know you have to ask

01:25:36prince go watch prince do the guitar solo after

01:25:40resurrected uh jeff lynn and george harrison's kid

01:25:45and tom petty doing while my guitar gently weeps while my guitar gently

01:25:48weeps watch prince do a guitar solo it's it's

01:25:51incredible i mean unbelievably gives you goosebumps right

01:25:53and i'm not a guitarist i mean i tried to learn a guy learned one song at the

01:25:56guitar i'm like that this is not for me and it takes quality to appreciate

01:26:02quality

01:26:05so it matters

01:26:08how you describe it to yourself and you want to be accurate

01:26:15you want to be accurate are you rejected by

01:26:23someone who genuinely appreciates quality

01:26:30so a woman can be single into her 30s because she has high standards and

01:26:34genuinely recognizes quality and hasn't met the right guy

01:26:37it could be the case not common could be the case

01:26:42so i mean i think i've written some great novels

01:26:45and um people in general i got one novel published but people in general did not

01:26:50want to publish them and i had that challenge right why don't

01:26:53they want to publish my novels i love them it's the kind of i write the

01:26:57kind of stuff that i would absolutely love to read

01:27:00i listen to audiobooks of my own novels uh

01:27:03fairly consistently because i just you know i mean i love

01:27:07the stories and i appreciate my voice acting so to speak

01:27:10and so it's great stuff i get goosebumps the scene between

01:27:17rachel and her brother-in-law in the parking lot after the men's rights

01:27:19conference oh just gives me goosebumps and other things

01:27:27the moment when mary and just paul realizes that

01:27:32her material success is never going to make her happy and she

01:27:37decides to destroy herself i mean amazing to me

01:27:40goosebumps wendy's introduction in almost

01:27:45tom's frustration

01:27:49with his friends the whole comic scene with the welsh guy and

01:27:56shakespeare oh you know i love it i absolutely even

01:28:00as the battle of the gardens the scene where the kids are playing veering in

01:28:04between war and play amazing stuff to me just love it love it

01:28:08but i'm you know in terms of like publishers

01:28:11i'm the only one of it anyone who loves it so

01:28:18what do i what do i say to myself do i say well i guess i'm just mistaken it's

01:28:22not good it's not good but i can't do that

01:28:25because the empirical evidence to me is that it is good so then what i have to

01:28:28do i have to go and look at the other books that the publishers are

01:28:32publishing and saying do i like those books

01:28:35and the answer almost invariably is they're beautifully written horror shows

01:28:42they're beautifully written absolute horror shows

01:28:49it is pretty

01:28:54it is seductive syllables of semi-satanism he said because alliteration

01:29:03is cool so you're rejected by a woman are you

01:29:07directed by a woman what what is rejected what is rejected

01:29:13what is rejected the sense of life that is in my books i think is very positive

01:29:17thank you james the sense of life in my books is very

01:29:19positive

01:29:22there's depth there's power there's characterization there's humanity there's

01:29:26richness and most books these days most novels i

01:29:32can't do modern novels they're either like

01:29:35trashy empty stuff or it is deep horror

01:29:42so you're either scratching on the silly surface or you go deep into hell

01:29:46that that's it that's all there is and that's something that uh

01:29:50paul mccartney said about modern music is it's either empty pop or

01:29:53hell on earth right

01:29:57there's no emotional richness in the modern novels

01:30:02uh i know really now i was thinking of one

01:30:07exception but

01:30:10so uh are my novels being rejected maybe no sorry the novels have

01:30:17certainly been rejected the question is why

01:30:19now if they're publishing novels i love and they don't like my novels

01:30:26well that's different right now of course just poor

01:30:30was rejected because it's a critique of socialism as well as i think a great

01:30:33story as a whole

01:30:39and the god of atheists though it received the most stellar review from a

01:30:43professional reviewer who said literally we now

01:30:46finally have in our hands the great canadian novel which i've been waiting

01:30:48for my whole life this is what a professional phd literature reviewer

01:30:52gave a review of that novel was never published because it is about corruption

01:30:56within the family people don't want to write about that i

01:31:00want to read about that

01:31:09so are you being rejected

01:31:14because you lack quality or because the other person lacks quality

01:31:19but it has to be one of the two i mean assuming the woman's single if the

01:31:22woman has quality and you are quality

01:31:28then she should not reject you she won't reject you if you are quality

01:31:32and the woman has quality if you're both quality

01:31:35you know moral honest decent then you will

01:31:38connect so what what are you being rejected for what what is being

01:31:42rejected well if she's quality and you're not quality you have to work to

01:31:45raise your quality

01:31:48but that should be inspiring i mean obviously there's a balance like you

01:31:52feel bad and inspiring right

01:31:56what does rejection mean what are you being rejected for i mean

01:32:01i i think i think i have some credibility when i'm talking about

01:32:05experiencing being rejected by the world

01:32:09i think i think i think i have this on my resume

01:32:13one or two places that i've had to deal with

01:32:16hostility and rejection from the world okay is the world a quality

01:32:25are people willing to lie about me in ferocious and psychotic ways

01:32:29are they quality people no so what am i being rejected by

01:32:35all the people who couldn't go one website over like somebody posted one of

01:32:39my a slide from one of my old presentations

01:32:41from 2014 thing got six and a half million views on

01:32:44twitter and of course the comments are all the same hey whatever happened to

01:32:48that guy hey that guy it's like okay so i was not quality enough

01:32:56for people to follow right okay that's fine i mean if i have a

01:33:01favorite singer let's say and the singer ends up being kicked off his label and

01:33:06comes up with his own website does this mean i completely forget about him no

01:33:09my favorite artist or whatever it is right i'll just go there right

01:33:14so am i being rejected and and then you say okay well

01:33:19if i was rejected by like 95 97 of my audience

01:33:23didn't follow me over so if i'm rejected by those people

01:33:27the question is okay who do they accept who are they following now

01:33:30and is the other people that they're following now of higher quality than me

01:33:34producing better content richer content more honest content deeper content

01:33:38more rigorous and consistent content with integrity

01:33:42um well no

01:33:46you're out of sight out of mind for people who have no capacity to pair bond

01:33:49right this woman says i hate waking up if my

01:33:51husband isn't there it's really unsettling you have to hunt him down and

01:33:54check he's okay very nice

01:33:58wow i believe he was implying she had a name and it was not

01:34:01my wife yeah you you missed what i was saying

01:34:09let's see here says i don't know stuff i just wish i could have broken away from

01:34:12the wounds inflicted upon me in my childhood and accessed my

01:34:17potential i just have a sense of disconnection with people and it seems

01:34:19like everyone every time i tried to do to really reach

01:34:22out and connect with people i just end up getting attacked

01:34:26compassion hijacked all the things i just really feel at a

01:34:29loss

01:34:33so wounds is a morally neutral term you weren't wounded

01:34:37you were tortured by evildoers you're not a victim of a wound you're a victim

01:34:42of evil

01:34:45right i mean you could theoretically cut yourself accidentally that's different

01:34:48from being stabbed that those though both produce wounds

01:34:53so if you feel like

01:34:57you're trying to connect with people and just end up getting attacked it's

01:35:00because you lack compassion for yourself and you refer

01:35:04to the wounds rather than the evildoers

01:35:14does your wife introducing the man next to her as her husband not seem to imply

01:35:18you might be mistaken for a different man

01:35:20she would be seen with hypothetical here miguel her lover

01:35:29yeah the homeless guy saying Steph is bad at philosophy homeless guy judgment

01:35:32carries no weight yeah so i mean when people critique me

01:35:35and they just do it really badly like really badly

01:35:39then why would i take their criticism seriously right

01:35:43if there's any place left to be cancelled from maybe the next novel can

01:35:46include russians lol oh those russians in europe and america

01:35:53there's a growing feeling of hysteria so

01:35:59uh my first novel was about i was hugely influenced in my teens by russian

01:36:04writers

01:36:09but uh yeah my first novel my first real novel was revolutions which you can get

01:36:13at free domain nft.com free domain nft.com

01:36:17was about russia because i recognized that the west was going in the same

01:36:22direction that russia was in the 19th century i wanted to write about that

01:36:29oh the woman is this the guy who was rejected she's very smart and kind but i

01:36:33do suspect i did not make the cut physically i'm very fit and pretty tall

01:36:36but no pretty face saw her previous guy and some other signs

01:36:39and that's the conclusion so bullet dodged probably

01:36:41i guess the suck comes from the fact i came close to finding quality but turned

01:36:45out i didn't

01:36:49i came close to finding quality but turns out i didn't

01:36:55so she rejected you because of

01:37:02factors beyond your control which is the shape of your face right

01:37:07so she's rejecting you for entirely shallow reasons that have nothing to do

01:37:13with your quality of character right i mean imagine if my wife had

01:37:18rejected me because i was bald you know all of the happiness of the

01:37:22last 22 years the richness the success the love the

01:37:26family the like would all be gone oh because he's talking bald

01:37:32right so why would a woman reject a man

01:37:38for not being super handsome because she has bonded with her peers rather

01:37:44than a man

01:37:47so it's really absolutely terrifying the degree to which

01:37:51women will judge a man based upon how he will appear to her friends

01:37:56and this is one of the reasons why women end up in these terrible

01:37:59relationships and and you see this like all the time

01:38:03in movies aimed at women oh it's appalling it's just

01:38:06wretched these movies aimed at women

01:38:11like this even happened in the movie um it ends with us or

01:38:15it stops with us i can't remember it ends with us the one with um

01:38:22Blake Lively and so she brings her boyfriend over to her mother and it's

01:38:26like oh he's so gorgeous oh my god why didn't you tell me how gorgeous

01:38:30like the female validation right so if a woman is going to choose

01:38:38the father of her children based upon whether her friends think he's

01:38:43hot well you wouldn't want to have children with a retarded woman it

01:38:48probably would be amoral to immoral

01:38:52maybe you need a pen name no i don't think it was a pen name

01:39:00anger but humperdinck was a famous singer and a good singer too

01:39:05i came close to finding quality but turned out i didn't

01:39:09okay before before you commit to a woman meet her friends before you find

01:39:14yourself interested in a woman sit down with her friends meet her friends

01:39:18evaluate her friends are they moral reasonable happy for her

01:39:22are they in stable relationships are they weird are they shallow do they

01:39:27drink too much like meet a woman's friends

01:39:31a woman's friends and a man's friends are a reflection of his values

01:39:35manifested in the friend in the flesh so you can lie about what you believe but

01:39:38you can't lie about your friends they're there they do what they do

01:39:44before you commit to anyone meet their friends you can't judge them by their

01:39:48family because they didn't choose their family they choose whether they're in

01:39:50touch with their family didn't choose their family

01:39:52but meet her friends meet her friends does she have good friends

01:39:57are they decent people moral people stable people do they support her care

01:40:00about her

01:40:02no

01:40:08grifter yes i'm just a grifter so grifter is like spewing

01:40:13it's just an npc word oh you're spewing prop you're spewing false you're spewing

01:40:17hatred a grifter and spewing there's a whole

01:40:20list of this uh npc words they're just npc words

01:40:23that are there to activate people's hostility hostility to the truth

01:40:30yeah such a grifter yeah such a grifter and that's why i tell all the most

01:40:35convenient truths that people pay the most money for yeah such a grifter

01:40:39somebody says most of the great authors i read in school were boring but

01:40:42steph's work is authentic gripping and blew away the mandatory curriculum

01:40:45and of course the message of reason upb and peaceful parenting tops the usual

01:40:49lefty lefty tropes well thank you

01:40:57yeah was jesus christ injured or was he wounded

01:41:01no he was tortured he was assaulted

01:41:07free domain nft.com yeah yeah for sure maybe a novel set

01:41:10during red october i'm working on another novel right now

01:41:15it's great fun but i'm taking on a real challenge

01:41:19a real challenge real challenge i really i can't write the same books over and

01:41:23over again i don't know how mainstream authors do but

01:41:32it ends with us yet i know do you think me doing the me plus thing

01:41:37might be a major factor in failing to connect with people

01:41:39man forget about connecting with people connect with yourself

01:41:42you can't connect with people except by going through yourself

01:41:46whatever you lie to you about yourself keeps you distant from people and when i

01:41:51say lie to you i say this with all sympathy lying about ourselves was

01:41:55essential for survival right so when i was told

01:41:58i was bad as a little kid i had to accept that and

01:42:01and live like that because otherwise i would um

01:42:07i would be a further attacked assaulted rejected and maybe killed

01:42:12listen listening to david gilmore's new album i have not

01:42:15listened to it i know that he's uh taking his guitar to a new level at 78

01:45:58because i'm going back and reading about my mind at 25

01:46:04and i'm like man man did i ever have a lot of questions

01:46:09that have been answered decades ago for me now

01:46:12aging is fantastic i don't aging i never have to take an exam again for the rest

01:46:16of my life i never have to figure out what it is i'm going to do with my life

01:46:19i never have to figure out whether i'm going to have an audience for what it is

01:46:22that i do um i am planning on adding more

01:46:25philosophers to the series but the next one is

01:46:28emmanuel kant who is massive and it's just taking a while

01:46:36all right uh so yes we will get to more philosophers for sure but i'm gonna

01:46:42need like i don't know a week to get i've got a

01:46:44whole series of notes and researchers helped me get together notes about

01:46:48emmanuel kant so uh but that's just it's uh it's uh it's a tough thing to

01:46:54to pull together and because because it's adding

01:46:5725th to a 24-part series i have to work on that which generates income for

01:47:05the costs right the cost of the show so payroll and overhead and media and

01:47:11servers and bandwidth and you name it right

01:47:15so i have to do that which is the most responsible for

01:47:21the finances of the show and what is the most responsible for

01:47:23the finances of the show is the kind of work that i'm doing here

01:47:26not you know adding one more to the 24-part series history of philosophers

01:47:31because i have to say to myself as i have to do okay how does this help

01:47:34the income of the show and so

01:47:39i can't justify that from a cost benefit standpoint at the moment so

01:47:43but yeah kant is a very and and i have a very complicated relationship with

01:47:46emmanuel kant so after emmanuel yeah i think that the last one should be me

01:47:51i think i'll do that at the end i'll do that at the end

01:47:57of my life and the series all right i think we're done for dips
