Flash Birthday Livestream 24 September 2024

In this special livestream episode, I celebrate my 58th birthday by reflecting on personal updates, amusing anecdotes, and the launch of the Spanish version of my "Peaceful Parenting" program. We explore themes like numerology, personal growth, and the perception of age while addressing the current political climate and the importance of truth-telling.
Engaging with my audience, I tackle questions about forgiveness, parenting, and societal expectations. I express gratitude for the support over the years and invite continued discussion as we look to the future, feeling inspired for what lies ahead.

00:00:00Yo! Flash Livestream, which means you get Nipple Fest. It is the 24th of September 2024.
00:00:082-4-0-9-2-4! And it is my birthday. I am 58 years old, which feels pretty surreal because
00:00:17I don't look a day over 59.999. 57.999. Rounding up. So, yes, thank you for dropping by tonight
00:00:26for a little bit of celebration. If you'd like to tip ye relatively old philosopher,
00:00:32freedomain.com. You can tip right here on the appy apps. I am here to give you any updates
00:00:40that you want. I am here to tell you where things are. Also here to tell you that at
00:00:45freedomain.locals.com, there is the Spanish version of peaceful parenting. The Spanish
00:00:53version of peaceful parenting. That's right. Peaceful parenting with a sombrero is now out.
00:00:59It is the condensed version. So send it to your Espanol friends and we can hopefully get that
00:01:06going in that community as well. The Spanish version of peaceful parenting. Soon to be
00:01:11available at peacefulparenting.com. For right now, you go to freedomain.locals.com. And I
00:01:15really, really appreciate you sort of sharing and spreading that news and thoughts and process and
00:01:23action. And let's see what people have to say. Happy birthday. Thank you dropping by. Happy
00:01:28birthday. Thank you dropping by. What does it say here? The number 58 called the world conqueror
00:01:33wants to conquer the world with its new and innovative ideas that come out with considerable
00:01:38force. The 58 slash 4 vibration has enormous growth potential due to the built-in Fibonacci
00:01:46series 58 and 13 slash 4, also known as punk rhythm. It is a number seen in the numerology
00:01:54charts of companies that have overnight success. Well, I think it's fairly safe to say that I have
00:02:01not had overnight success. The combination of the number 5, which is the curious mind that seeks,
00:02:09that loves new knowledge, the number 8, which is intellectual strength and discernment,
00:02:13and 13 slash 4, which stands for genius and innovation, gives the person a unique blend
00:02:21of mental qualities. Apparently, only this year though. It's all over after this year.
00:02:2615 slash 8 is often mentally open-minded, hardworking, and thinks out of the box.
00:02:33That's right. I remember when I first emerged from my mother 58 years ago, I thought,
00:02:39now I can think outside the box.
00:02:44I'm going to hell, but at least we'll all be together. At least we'll all be together.
00:02:49You have the number wrong. I mean, look at the guy. He's 48. I would say that I was not aging
00:02:56terribly badly. Not aging terribly badly. I went for a massage, or I was gifted a massage for my
00:03:03birthday, and I went, and masseuses have two settings, you know, light caress or human
00:03:11disassembly. It's either like a bunch of mosquitoes landing on your skin, or they're trying to turn
00:03:16you inside out by sucking out the bone marrow through the inside of an 1812 cannon. Anyway,
00:03:22I happened to hit on the pendulum of a little too light on the touch there. I like a massage until
00:03:28like little rivulets of blood fall out of my eyes. That's what I like. I like a massage where it's
00:03:33like the ancestors are beckoning, and you're like, right on the edge there. Like, whatever's
00:03:38just going to absolutely kill me, just take it back 0.1%, and that's my massage. So I had a nice
00:03:46massage, and the guy was like, oh, your neck's a little tense here, and you know, so start doing
00:03:50some of these particular back exercises. So I started incorporating those into my workout,
00:03:55and let me tell you, it's really sad, because when you do the same kind of weights for a while,
00:04:01you know, you're kind of okay with them, you throw in one new thing, and your body's like,
00:04:05I'm sorry, we don't do that. We're going to need a requisition three to six months ahead of time
00:04:12in order to build up any kind of muscle fiber. All we're going to do is hurt right now. If you
00:04:17step outside of the train track, if you regular set of exercises, we will punish you in ways
00:04:23you haven't seen in quite some time. So very exciting.
00:04:31Happy birthday, Steph. I remember dialing into your birthday show last year,
00:04:35and seems like it was yesterday. Oh, my trouble. Okay, the year has flown by so quickly. You're
00:04:40getting older, but you keep getting better. How do you do it? Your drive and consistency is
00:04:45inspiring the quality and performance of your interviews and live stream monologues continues
00:04:48to get better as you age. You are an inspiration to us all. I know I speak for thousands of your
00:04:52supporters when I say that you are revered and we love you. Thank you so much, my friend. I
00:04:58kiss you back in cyberspace. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
00:05:08Wait, has this not started? Has this not started? Yeah, this is started. This is started.
00:05:13Uh, yes, right. Oh, I'm just seeing the logo. Well, why are we not running?
00:05:24Um, why are we not running? It says. Oh, my gosh.
00:05:34Boy, you'd think I'd know how to do this by now. You'd think I'd know how to do this by now.
00:05:39But apparently not. Apparently I just hit the go live and don't need to turn on my
00:05:43microphone or anything. Isn't that exciting? Sorry about that. A little bit of a hiccup here,
00:05:48but we are good. We are good. We are back. We are live. We are cooking with gas.
00:05:53And thank you. Thank you. Thank you for dropping by today, 24th of September, 2024.
00:05:58And, um, I'm just going to continue going. I did a few minutes without realizing
00:06:02that there was a switch, which I had not flipped. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you for joining me
00:06:07tonight. Happy to take questions, comments, happy to give you an update on where things are as a
00:06:14whole and love, well, love where Bitcoin's at. A little pump on my birthday, the universe aligning
00:06:21to give us all a tiny smidge of digital wealth. And what are we at? 86,633 as of now. So
00:06:33welcome, welcome, welcome. And thank you for dropping by. It is a great privilege and a
00:06:37pleasure to chat with you this evening. And if you have comments, questions, I suppose I'm happy
00:06:44to give you an update on the show. I'm happy to give you an update on my life. Should such a thing
00:06:48be of interest to you, I am happy to take questions as a special present to you. I will try to turn no
00:06:55questions away. I got a nice haircut. I didn't actually, although I need, I need one. I have
00:07:04these weird little tufties things that come up. I have like four square inches of good hair and
00:07:09pretty much how it's over the course of my life. It was always kind of scrubby on top, kind of
00:07:12scrubby on the side. I get this pubic hair sideburn thing going, but there were nice little flows here,
00:07:16which I tied back into a ponytail many moons ago. I think we got sound cooking. No, still no sound.
00:07:30Come on, you can do it. There we go. All right. There's your sound. So, there you should have
00:07:36sound now. I don't know why. It just didn't seem to switch to the right sound thing.
00:07:41So, as far as the show goes, things are cooking along just fine. It's nice doing some external
00:07:48interviews from time to time. That's nice. I just did almost six hours with Keith Knight. So,
00:07:56we spread that over the week, last week, and they are being released at freedomain.locals.com
00:08:03and subscribestore.com. So, you can find those there. We're going to put them all in one blob,
00:08:09and we covered every topic under sun and moon. He was really, really good at the interviews,
00:08:13in my humble opinion, great questions and challenging questions, exciting questions.
00:08:19As is generally my commitment, I try not to give answers I've given before.
00:08:24I try, and that's just part of a brain thing. It's a conversation thing. Do you find that you
00:08:29do this sometimes, that you get into these grooves of speaking? You just kind of get into these
00:08:35grooves of speaking, and it just goes a little bit on autopilot. I do my absolute very, very best to
00:08:42try not to have anything like that. I really, really try to make sure that I'm not on autopilot.
00:08:54That's very, very important to me as a whole. So, new questions, new answers,
00:09:01new approaches, and I think that you will like that. Anthony says,
00:09:05the interviews were dense with wisdom. I have to give each of them many more
00:09:09listens, especially enjoyed number two. Thank you. How did you find Keith? I'm also curious,
00:09:14how did the interview was set up? Did he reach out to you, anyone you'd want to talk to?
00:09:20Well, I mean, I do miss debating. I really did enjoy that debating thing, and I was fairly good
00:09:25at it, I think, but unfortunately, there just aren't people who will find much profit in debating
00:09:31me because of that sort of, you know, the whole lies and slander stuff. But yeah, so he reached
00:09:39out to me, said he had a whole series of questions to ask, and all of that. Let's see here. Yeah,
00:09:48sorry about the sound. I really should know this by now, but apparently every now and then,
00:09:52my brain's just like, yeah, we're good. No need to check anything. We're fine. We're fine. We're fine.
00:09:58We're fine. So yeah, I really do appreciate all of your birthday wishes. I will not read through
00:10:05each one. Will you ever debate Andrew Wilson? I'm not sure that it would be particularly productive.
00:10:17So I would rather debate people I have strong moral disagreements with, rather than what would
00:10:23be ontological, morals-based, or maybe metaphysics-based disagreements. I would rather
00:10:31debate people who, you know, vehemently — maybe atheists who vehemently disagree with UPB or
00:10:36something like that, which I've sort of done before, but that would be — those would be
00:10:40fun debates. Those would be fun debates. But with Andrew Wilson, I think that
00:10:46there would not be enough of a difference for us to have much of an enjoyable or fun debate.
00:10:59So yeah, so with regards to the show, I'm pretty pleased with where things are. I tried to do that
00:11:04sort of year in review, and I've done a lot of good shows, a lot of great live streams, a lot of
00:11:12enjoyable and entertaining conversations. I finished, of course, Peaceful Parenting,
00:11:17and then I worked very hard on the shortened version of Peaceful Parenting, and I've started
00:11:22a new book, which I'm really enjoying. It's a fiction work set in reverse to show how little
00:11:29decisions at the beginning lead to big disasters later on. So I'm working on all of that, and
00:11:36the finances of the show are okay. Okay. I mean, we've lost some subscribers. The economy is just
00:11:42brutal on people, and because the economy is brutal on people, they need to eat, obviously.
00:11:51There's an old saying from — oh gosh — Erasmus, who said, whenever I get any money, I buy books,
00:11:56and after that, if there's any leftover, I aim for food and shelter. And so I do
00:12:02recognize that the economy is bad, trying to cut back on costs on the show to make sure that we
00:12:08stay in the black, which means, obviously, income above expenses. But yeah, it's tough. It's tough.
00:12:15I sympathize, and I understand where people are coming from. And again, if there's anything you
00:12:21could do to help out, it's fantastic, but obviously, food is important, and if you have kids,
00:12:26their needs are important, and all of that. All right. I think you and Liquid Zulu would
00:12:34have a great debate at UPB. He's an ANCAP with objectivist roots. He endorses natural law. I
00:12:38would reach out to him if that interests you. Yeah, if you'd like to do a debate on ethics,
00:12:42I think that would be great. Where are you on Christianity these days? Did you read that one
00:12:48Catholic book from a while back? No, I have not. Nothing in particular has changed with regards to
00:12:53Christianity. Massive respect for most of the belief system, but I still remain committed to
00:12:58empiricism and pure reason when it comes to philosophy as a whole. So let me just see here
00:13:07other questions and comments. Yeah, the autopilot thing, it's bad. It is like time deducted from
00:13:14your life. An autopilot in you or me brings out autopilot in other people, which is not
00:13:19a lot of fun for everyone, right? With regards to my life, things are great.
00:13:26My daughter's career, such as it is, is humming along, and marriage is great. Friendships are
00:13:35great. And I was thinking of setting up maybe a meetup in Mississauga next month,
00:13:43if anybody's around, that would be fun to meet up and all of that. So the show is going well,
00:13:50although again, the economics are a little tough. I will be renewing my
00:13:53liaison subscription free domain on local shortly. I appreciate that. I appreciate that.
00:14:00And let's see here. I've not been to... Oh, have I been to church recently? Oh, not too long ago.
00:14:05Somebody says, how to know the difference between an ostensible maxim and an objective
00:14:10maxim? Do you think Ayn Rand would have created axioms if she were male? A part of me wants to
00:14:17question axioms. An ostensible maxim and an objective maxim. So here's human communication
00:14:25101. Never assume that anybody knows what you're talking about. I mean, that's philosophy, right?
00:14:32So if you were to say to me, what is the difference between an ostensible quote maxim and
00:14:37objective maxim? I'm not sure what the definition of ostensible is. I'm not sure what the definition
00:14:44of objective is, although I generally know what it is. Maybe it means something different to you.
00:14:48And I'm not sure what you mean by maxim. And then I'm not sure what you mean by axiom.
00:14:57I'm pretty sure I know what you mean by male and so on, right? So in general,
00:15:03this is sort of human communication 101, particularly with complex, abstract topics.
00:15:10Don't assume anybody knows what you're talking about. And start with definitions, because
00:15:19otherwise people are just going to pick whatever they want to talk about. Like there's an old thing
00:15:23about talking with the media. When the media asks you a question that you don't want to answer,
00:15:28you simply reframe it and talk about what you want to talk about. And so when you talk about,
00:15:32well, what's the difference between ostensible and objective maxims and so on, right?
00:15:37Axioms, my general way of approaching axioms is that they are beliefs that
00:15:50would be recognizable by everyone without, I mean, unless you're being completely perverse.
00:15:59So Descartes' argument that, look, you exist, you exist, everything else could be a fantasy,
00:16:05but you absolutely exist. I exist. He said, I exist, right? And he writes that down and he
00:16:11sends that to other people. So an axiom would be something like when you're having a debate
00:16:16with someone, the axioms would be, I exist. Let's say you're having a debate with me. I exist.
00:16:23You exist. Objective reality exists between us. We both inhabit objective reality.
00:16:30Reason is better than force. Language has meaning. And arguments that are in accordance
00:16:38with reason and evidence are victorious over those that are opposed by reason and evidence.
00:16:45So those would be axioms. They don't exist, obviously, in objective reality like a tree does,
00:16:51but an axiom is something that you have to accept in order to move to the next stage of a conversation
00:17:00or a debate, right? I mean, it would be kind of crazy for someone to debate with me and say,
00:17:05Steph, you don't exist. It's like, well, you just referred to me by my name.
00:17:08You are directing an argument at me. And so you have to accept that I exist in order for all of
00:17:12that to work, right? You go for something in Mississauga? Yeah. What would it take to get
00:17:23you back to Australia? Or did we burn that bridge? I loved my time in Australia. I had such a blast
00:17:32in Australia. It was exciting. It was vivid. It was memorable. You know, I will never, ever look
00:17:40back at 2018 and say, gee, I wonder why I was doing that week. Like, I know exactly, you know,
00:17:45some of these weeks they kind of blur together a little bit. Oh, another call-in. Oh, I'll do
00:17:49some more Q&A, another live stream. I mean, the content is great and all that, but it does blur
00:17:53a little bit sometimes. And so I love having those bookmarks in time where it's like, yep,
00:17:59we've been doing that. We're absolutely doing that. And I never got paid. It's pretty funny.
00:18:10It was pretty funny. I had these big contracts and so on and just never got paid. Never got paid.
00:18:18Never got paid. Yeah. You know, the people who were running it were,
00:18:25well, I'm sure you can come up with your own epithets for me, right? So.
00:18:29All right. So get back to Australia. I mean, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I mean,
00:18:41I don't know. It's funny because Australia was six years ago. Gosh, that's wild. So Australia
00:18:48was six years ago. So this is the big question. And I don't know the answer to this, obviously.
00:18:52So I'm curious what you guys think. Eager to hear what you guys think. So do you think
00:18:58over time that people are accepting that I was right?
00:19:06Right. Over time. In other words, let's say I came back to Australia, right?
00:19:12Do people think that I'm more right now, six years later, or I'm less right?
00:19:20Because, of course, I made a lot of predictions. I mean, what are the predictions that I made? Well,
00:19:29I made the prediction that Bitcoin was going to be a value. I made the prediction that mass
00:19:35immigration was going to cause a lot of problems. I made the argument that the national debt was not
00:19:40going to be paid down. I made the argument that global warming was not the catastrophe that it
00:19:48was portrayed as since the 90s. It's just a wide variety of sort of predictions and arguments. I
00:19:54made the case and the argument that power corrupts and government power was going to increase and
00:20:00escalate. I made the argument that personal change in your own life is superior to political action.
00:20:09So, I mean, I made tons of arguments about the world and the future and life as a whole.
00:20:19So I guess that's the question. Do you think that people think that I'm more right or less right
00:20:29now? So that is an interesting question.
00:20:38Am I a prophet ahead of his time or a crazy guy disproven by the inevitable march of facts?
00:20:46Well, I, of course, said that the welfare state was going to be used to
00:20:51half destroy Western civilization. I said that single motherhood would increase. I said the
00:20:57tensions between the sexes were going to increase. I said that there was going to be more propaganda
00:21:01in the government school system and so on, right? So, oh, you guys still just getting the rumble
00:21:15thing? What is going on with our tech? What is going on with our tech? I promise you it's running.
00:21:21I really do. All right, let me just take a pause here. Video working.
00:21:42Lawyers in love. All right.
00:21:45Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so I said that COVID was going to be a very big deal
00:21:58politically, but I personally did not feel it was that dangerous from a health standpoint.
00:22:03I, of course, did not take the, quote, vaccines, right? So, I mean, how much did I get right and
00:22:13how much did I get wrong? I mean, I think I bat fairly well. I think I bat fairly well with regards
00:22:21to these things. I also said that a lot of the people who would have opposed me would have
00:22:28opposed me because they were predators upon children. Hey, look at that. Every time you
00:22:35open Twitter, it seems that there's more people being outed for preying upon children.
00:22:44I said that dating single moms is probably not an ideal situation. So,
00:22:52I did the R versus K selection material, which has been absolutely validated. I said that
00:22:58the welfare state and government spending and borrowing produces an R-selected environment
00:23:03for K-selected people, which means that single motherhood is going to increase.
00:23:06And so when I talked about femininity being more on the left and masculinity being more on the right,
00:23:13as the divide between the ideologies widens, so will the divide in ideologies between men
00:23:19and women, which is certainly happening, particularly among the young. The
00:23:24young males are getting more right wing, the young females are getting more left wing,
00:23:28and so on, right? So, I mean, what can I tell you? What can I tell you?
00:23:35So, I think I've done fairly well with regards to these things.
00:23:43But the question is, does anyone notice or care? I also said that in presidential debates,
00:23:51they're never going to talk about the national debt. I also talked about the national debt
00:23:55driving mental illness, because rationality is when you come up against limitations and you have
00:24:01to weigh costs and benefits, and that's what reason is for, right? Because the economy is
00:24:07because of things that are limited, right? Human desires are finite, resources are always...
00:24:10Human desires are infinite, resources are always finite. So, endless borrowing and money printing
00:24:16is going to drive people crazy because they don't have any limitations.
00:24:24And when you don't feel like you have any limitations, that puts you in the
00:24:27territory of psychosis, right? Psychotics think they can fly and live forever and talk to Jesus.
00:24:32So, all limitations are lifted from their minds, and as you lift limitations from human life,
00:24:37people get more and more mentally ill. I also said, and I did a video many years ago called
00:24:43The Myth of Mental Illness, about how that didn't seem to be much evident for the SSRI
00:24:51theory, and that seems to have been disproven many years later. So, I mean, I don't want to
00:24:58go on and on, but I think we... I also talked about IQ and its relationship to antisocial
00:25:03behavior that has been pretty well established in social sciences now. The lower IQ, the
00:25:10higher gender tends to be the antisocial behavior. So, I think it's been pretty well-validated,
00:25:20the stuff that I've talked about. But the question is, you know, when you slander someone,
00:25:25it's very hard to admit they were right. Because if you slander someone who's right,
00:25:28it turns out that you're the asshole. And a lot of people who slander others
00:25:33can't admit that they have fault, right? Because they've raised the escalation too high, right?
00:25:38The punishment is too high, it's too intense. So,
00:25:47I would say that I've... I mean, obviously, nobody bats a thousand, but I've done pretty well.
00:25:55I've done pretty well. How old am I? I am 58 years old. 58. I think my head is getting rounder.
00:26:0458 years old. Tattoos, yes. I was right about tattoos as markers of mental ill health. So,
00:26:19so that's the question, right? So, with regards to going back to some place like
00:26:23Australia, well, are people willing to admit that I'm right? Or does being right mean that
00:26:32people hate me more? Or not hate me, but, you know, hate the truth, kind of thing, right? I
00:26:37don't know. I mean, yeah, I did the truth about Israel and Palestine. I did the truth about that,
00:26:48talking about how intractable the conflicts were based upon belief systems.
00:26:52I think that's been fairly well borne out, and so on, right?
00:26:56In my experience as someone, people forget the pioneers of ideas and even come back to the source
00:27:03to inform them. I'm not sure what that last bit means, but it is true that society's, you know,
00:27:12mad hatred for people who speak uncomfortable truths means that fewer people will speak
00:27:18uncomfortable truths, which means that society coasts on lies off a cliff, right? That's
00:27:23just the way it is. You keep punishing the truth-tellers, and then you're absolutely flying
00:27:28blind. They're absolutely flying blind. Of course, I talked about how beneficial things like exercise
00:27:39and other things were for things like depression. It seems to be fairly validated. I talked about
00:27:45therapy many, many years ago. I did a whole show with a researcher on how therapy provided more
00:27:50benefits than even a substantial raise, and that does seem to have been validated. So, yeah,
00:27:56I think I've done it pretty well as far as predictions. So, yeah, so the problem is that
00:28:04if society just keeps attacking and punishing its pioneers, well, I mean, it's like attacking
00:28:11and punishing anyone who dares start a business. Well, you just end up with nobody starting
00:28:16businesses, and you end up with centralized power, and you end up with a bad economy, right?
00:28:26Somebody says, I can give you the theological reasons behind the anti-human agenda. Suffice
00:28:30it to say, Satan planted the idea in man's heads. The agenda never stopped. Even atheists could see
00:28:35the argument. All right. Do you think that if fractional reserve banking slash central banking
00:28:44went away, would most problems go away? Well, so it would be a massive realignment of human
00:28:50thinking, but it would absolutely be to everybody's mental health, to everybody's
00:28:56mental health. Sanity would return when limitations return. Power drives men mad and drives women mad,
00:29:05and central banking and fiat currency is such an awesome power. It's really second only to the
00:29:16power of indoctrinating children. The power of indoctrinating children is perhaps the greatest
00:29:20power in the world, right? So, certainly problems would diminish. Oh, here's another thing, too. I
00:29:31did a three or four-part series on female evil back in the day, years ago, and now, I mean,
00:29:38there's this graph going around Twitter, which is that young men's major concern is the economy and
00:29:46how to get a good job and raise a family, and women's, by far, women's major concern,
00:29:53major number one political issue, is the right to kill their own babies.
00:29:57You know, ladies, you're not coming back from this. There will never be a mystique,
00:30:01there will never be pedestalizing, there will never be worship in the future.
00:30:06That raw, devilish, and you know, women are propagandized and all of that, but so are men,
00:30:12but men, you know, this baying bloodlust to kill your own offspring is right at the core of modern
00:30:20female nature, and it's really tough, man. It's kind of hard to love women whose only real
00:30:31political concern is abortion and access to abortion, and of course, none of it makes any
00:30:36sense, right? My body, my choice. Well, what about vaccine mandates? That doesn't matter.
00:30:41Well, men, we also like my body, my choice, which means we shouldn't have to
00:30:44be pillaged for taxes and redistribution.
00:30:47Schemes all the time. Oh, it doesn't matter either, right? So, this, yeah, women,
00:30:54talk about destroying credibility, right? Destroying love, destroying worship.
00:30:58Society, after this current era, society will never worship women again, like ever, and personally,
00:31:05I think that's healthy in the long run, because women being worshipped does drive dissociation
00:31:12and irrationality and anti-rationality in women, but, you know, in the same way that a lot of
00:31:17three-letter agencies burned up their credibility during COVID,
00:31:24women have taken the worship of the feminine that is built up over tens or hundreds of thousands
00:31:32of years and burned it to the ground in like two generations. It's wild. It's wild.
00:31:37A nose rings like a cow sign of mental illness. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
00:31:45You deserve an Alex Jones with right jar. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, maybe.
00:31:52Introduction of female evil shows force.
00:31:55There's a lot going on in the world right now.
00:31:57There's a lot going on in the world right now.
00:31:59There's a lot going on in the world right now.
00:32:01Maybe.
00:32:04Introduction of female evil shows 4251, 4252, and 4256.
00:32:17Tips on discovering your core beliefs.
00:32:20I'm in cognitive behavioral therapy, and this is one of my assignments.
00:32:24Is it safe to say most people are motivated by negative core beliefs that lead them to
00:32:29self-destructive behaviors? Well, do not assign people their own beliefs.
00:32:36Most people's beliefs are assigned to them by their elders.
00:32:40Most people's perspectives and self-image and beliefs are assigned to them by their elders.
00:32:46You don't have a core belief anymore than you invented the language called English.
00:32:51You have a core belief that is inflicted upon you by those in power, both personal, educational,
00:33:04political, and religious. You have a core belief that is inflicted on you by those in power in
00:33:11order to control and subjugate you. Your core beliefs are that which was required for your
00:33:19survival because threats of punishment, time theft, and ostracism were inflicted upon you
00:33:26if you did not follow these lies and pretend that they were true.
00:33:34So, what is discovering your core beliefs? What you generally have to do is look and say,
00:33:39what most conveniently served the narcissism and evil of those in power over me when I was a child?
00:33:45It's not talking necessarily about your parents, but certainly the educational system as a whole.
00:33:51So, what was I forced to swallow and vomit up on a regular basis in order to continue to show
00:33:58my subjugation to the needs and preferences of those in power?
00:34:06So, I did the show about free speech. White males tend to be the most staunch free speech
00:34:15absolutist. Therefore, white males have to be attacked and constantly sat against themselves
00:34:19so that this belief does not spread. All right. So, yeah, discovering your core beliefs.
00:34:27What did you have to spew in order to survive? What did you have to repeat in order to survive?
00:34:34Generally, that's all there is.
00:34:40All right. Do you think there's any chance we could outgrow the debt with massive regulation
00:34:44cuts? Well, I would certainly say that one of the core approaches of the people against Hillary
00:34:52Clinton in 2015-2016 was the idea that if you get a businessman into political power,
00:34:57he's going to grow the economy to the point where people are going to get off the welfare state
00:35:03into the workforce, and there's a way then, instead of people taking out of the system,
00:35:08they're putting into the system, there's a way to replenish the system and grow the system to
00:35:12the point where the debt could be possibly reduced over time. That was the general idea,
00:35:17that the debt is growing, but we're going to outgrow it and so on, right? But that was all
00:35:22scotched with counter-coups and COVID and all sorts of nonsense attacks and all that kind of
00:35:31stuff. And then what happened in 2020, which I think we all pretty much understand. So,
00:35:37I think it was definitely worth a shot, but it did not make it.
00:35:41I'm loving this new staff by UPB AI thing, especially for annoying metaphysical and
00:35:45epistemological questions. Well, I'm very, very glad. Very, very glad. Happy to hear.
00:35:53I had a run-in online, says someone with who I think is a young woman,
00:35:58one of three in one week. She took four days to ask for money, not looking good.
00:36:03Says she married the wrong guy, and now she's widowed with two kids. When I said I can't help
00:36:07with groceries, she posts about how sad her kids are that they won't get lunch,
00:36:11asking for money and a guilt trip. Ah, well, it was looking nice.
00:36:19Okay, bro, where is your basic sense of self-protection?
00:36:24So, you met some young woman, she's got two kids, and you're like, yeah, let's chat.
00:36:34My God, man, where's any pride that you might have?
00:36:37Um, let's see here. Do you think a hard crash landing is still inevitable if Trump wins?
00:36:59Um, I think that people have been so propagandized that the level of violence on a Trump victory,
00:37:07I mean, if I had to guess, Trump is going to win the popular, and then the mail-in
00:37:11votes are going to change it, and there'll be a lot of upset. You know, I personally wouldn't
00:37:16want to be, you know, if I had the choice, maybe 51-49, I wouldn't want to be right downtown in
00:37:21a major U.S. city on the election. Not my particular preference, but of course, everybody
00:37:26can make all their own choices. All right, thank you for the tip, appreciate that, very kind.
00:37:34Tips, sorry, tips. Uh, Steph, you've been the voice of reason and truth and hope for at least
00:37:38a decade, that means so much to me, thank you. You're welcome. I guess for the first nine years
00:37:43of the show, I was barking, raving mad, but, fatang, fatang, only biscuit barrel, but,
00:37:50at least for the last 10 years, I've cleaned up my act and started to become sane.
00:37:57Your abortion talk was shocking. Women want abortion so they don't have to become better
00:38:01people. More than the V-Bomb, yeah, for sure. Happy to make the birthday stream,
00:38:06hope your day's been great so far. It has, it has. It astonished, it is astonishing to me now,
00:38:14when those who refer to war usually mention innocent women and children.
00:38:18The only truly innocent are the children. The pushback I get about women is really harsh.
00:38:22The mother I had really showed me the truth of this reality. Thank you for showing me the truth
00:38:28of war and those who perpetuate it. Yeah, it's a funny thing, you know, it's a funny thing.
00:38:38One of the ways in which femininity is being completely
00:38:42acidically, in an acidic manner, is being demystified is women, I don't think there's
00:38:53been a time in history when women have had greater control over the upbringing of children.
00:38:59It's fair to say, right? I don't think there's been a time in history when women
00:39:04have had greater control over the raising of children. I mean, tons of single mothers,
00:39:10women stay home, men work, almost like 98% of early childhood educators are women, women outvote
00:39:19men by a significant margin. So women have absolutely got their lacquered nails on the
00:39:25till of society, and they are running things from birth to grave, to a large degree.
00:39:30And how are we doing? So women say, well, I'm afraid of men, men are dangerous. Like, okay,
00:39:42who's raising the men? Who's raising the men?
00:39:50Now, if you say, oh, the men are just born dangerous, like, well, you can't blame them then.
00:39:55You can't blame them if we're born that way. And if we're not born that way,
00:39:59then who is to blame for men being violent, young men being violent? Who is to blame?
00:40:06Mothers want to take a lot of pride when their children do well, and the
00:40:10shadow cast by that massive self-congratulatory statue is the simple fact in reality
00:40:18that if you're going to take pride when a man does well, you also are going to have to
00:40:23take some shame when things don't go well, right? Fair to say?
00:40:36Thank you to Michael as well. I really do appreciate that. That is very kind,
00:40:41super kind, and I appreciate that. Remember, everybody who signs up will get, everybody who
00:40:47donates will get History of Philosophers for free. So, who's raising these men to be so violent?
00:41:03Oh, the men are just so aggressive. There are so many misogynists around. It's like, okay,
00:41:06were they raised by men or were they raised by women? Are women safer? Are women safer
00:41:14around men raised by women or men raised by men? That's the question.
00:41:27Are women safer around men raised by women or men raised by men? Women are far safer,
00:41:37multiple times safer around men raised by men than men raised by women, and they simply won't
00:41:44admit it. They won't say, gee, we're concerned about men, and men are dangerous, and men are
00:41:52getting more dangerous, and misogyny is increasing, and okay, well, then what's changed? Well, women
00:41:57are more in charge of raising men. Women are more in charge of childhood than ever before.
00:42:17Oh, this guy is really, really bad. Okay, who raised him? Well, he was raised by usually a
00:42:23single mother. He was in daycare raised by female daycare teachers, and then for his primary school,
00:42:28he was raised by women. He probably didn't meet any kind of remote male authority figure until
00:42:32he was in his early to mid-teens. The personality is set pretty solid by the age of five.
00:42:40Who is responsible for raising these dangerous men? As a whole, almost overwhelmingly, it's women.
00:42:53In general, single fathers produce healthier offspring, healthier children,
00:43:00healthier adults. Single fathers produce healthier children than single mothers.
00:43:10So, women and children is where, so this is the Schrödinger's feminist, right? It's that I want
00:43:16to be a strong, independent, powerful woman until responsibility comes, then I'm a victim, right? So,
00:43:20I run to the umbrella or penumbra of childhood when I want to portray myself as a victim,
00:43:29but when I want to gain credibility and I want to have kudos, then I'm a strong,
00:43:35independent woman, right? And all of this is just, all of this manipulation is absolutely
00:43:41falling apart, absolutely falling apart, and it will never be rebuilt, never be rebuilt.
00:43:48And I think that's healthy, right? The weapon of manipulation is...
00:43:55So, if you're a man, you can check, it's fine, you're not on camera. So, if you're a man,
00:44:05thank you for the tip, and thank you for the birthday wishes, of course, right? So, if you're
00:44:09a man, a boy, when you're a boy, you know, I used to go out with my friends and we'd climb trees and
00:44:17we'd build forts in the woods and we'd, you know, negotiate about what we could do because we were
00:44:21all broke and restless, right? And didn't want to be home. Most of us had single moms, just didn't
00:44:25want to be home. It was stressful, right? So, we'd go out and we'd say, okay, we're going to go
00:44:33garbage picking, we're going to try and put bikes together, assemble bikes, various things. I
00:44:38remember when I was a kid in England, we would go garbage picking and we would pick up the pram
00:44:41wheels and we'd pick up pallets and we'd make go-karts and all this kind of cool stuff. Now,
00:44:48for all of that shit to work, you got to have reason and evidence. If I said to someone,
00:44:52well, here's what we need to do to build this treehouse, right? We've got to go get this,
00:44:56we've got to get that, somebody's got to get a hammer and nails, then I'd have to make sense.
00:45:01So, in order to be listened to as a man, as a boy, you have to make sense.
00:45:05But for a lot of girls, people listen to them because they sympathize, because they're cute,
00:45:16they're pretty, they're whatever, right? So, they just don't have any... This is not healthy for
00:45:20women. They just don't have the same requirements to have to reason things through and make sense.
00:45:24So, they don't develop those kinds of muscles, some, right? And all of this mystique is falling
00:45:30apart. All of this mystique is falling apart. Women abuse power. Men abuse power, women abuse
00:45:38power. Somebody says, I think since Trump couldn't fix the economy as much as we needed to grow in
00:45:462016, it definitely will be harder now in 2024 with all the immigrants and large debts. Well,
00:45:51I mean, some of the immigrants are economically productive, of course, right? Do you agree that
00:45:56most younger women just aren't ready for marriage, according to themselves,
00:46:01and the men are overly looked at as the problem to appeal to women?
00:46:07Most younger women just... Okay. So, for younger women, I mean, I would ask, and I used to ask
00:46:13these kinds of things, and I got into a lot of trouble for it, but hey, that's nothing new,
00:46:18right? So, when dating younger women, I would look for, do you know anything about running a
00:46:25household? Were you raised to be a wife? Do you know anything about parenting? And do you have a
00:46:30cookbook, and do you like to cook? Because look, man, someone's got to make the food, and generally
00:46:36it's not the guy who's working 10 hours a day, like eight hours plus an hour commute. Generally,
00:46:40it's not that guy. Do you have... And now, how many women do you know who have a cookbook and
00:46:46like to cook and know how to cook, right? How many women? Or do they just beep, beep, beep, beep,
00:46:52Uber, Uber Eats, right?
00:47:00The truth about crusades was a great revisit. It had been too long. Three times the Roman
00:47:04Empire in 150 years. Yeah, yeah. Muslim empire was pretty intense. Do you have any advice or
00:47:10resources for overcoming a childhood of emotional neglect? Yeah. So, when someone downgrades you,
00:47:17when somebody attacks your sense of self, the only healthy response is anger and significant
00:47:24anger too. That's the only sane and healthy response is significant anger. How dare you
00:47:32pretend I'm worthless, you selfish son of a bitch. How dare you have a child and then
00:47:40instill in that child the idea that the child is uninteresting, boring, irrelevant, and worthless.
00:47:47You sick son of a bitch.
00:47:52Now, one of the problems with emotional neglect is... So, emotional neglect is a way of
00:48:01making sure the child curls into a ball, hides in a hole, and doesn't bother the parent who's
00:48:07selfishly and narcissistically pursuing their own pleasures and doesn't really give a shit about the
00:48:11kid except for as an occasional status prop. So, emotional neglect is, you better not bother me.
00:48:17You're about to get fired. I don't care about you. You're worthless. You're hanging by a thread,
00:48:23kid. Okay, okay. I'll just creep around. I won't bother you. I won't ask for any help
00:48:29with the homework. I'm watching my shows. So, the problem is with emotional neglect,
00:48:37the first thing to go is anger, right? Like, hey, hey, lazy boy, get out of the lazy boy. Help me
00:48:45with my homework. You're supposed to be a parent. You lazy bastard, get off your fat ass and come
00:48:50and do some parenting. Jesus, what's the matter with you? You chose to have kids. You chose to
00:48:56keep us. Get off your fat fucking ass and do some parenting. Like, can you imagine? I'm not
00:49:00saying you'd swear at your parent and all that, but, you know, just in terms of the essence of...
00:49:04I mean, can you imagine saying, well, no, right? So, you have to shed your anger, but being treated
00:49:12as if you're worthless by people who are supposed to be raising you is one of the worst forms of
00:49:15abuse that there is, right? Sexual abuse, neglect, verbal, physical, worst to least worst. So,
00:49:24I, you know, you have to do the opposite of what happened to you as a child in order to fight off
00:49:31remaining a child. It's my big insight for the night. It's my big birthday present to you.
00:49:37You have to do the opposite of what was inflicted on you as a child and continually in order to
00:49:43never regress back to childhood. So, you know, if you get braces, right, and you got a lot of
00:49:48tweaks, right, I think a lot of people still have to wear those retainers, right, so that the teeth
00:49:53don't go back to their original place, right? So, when I was a kid, I wasn't allowed to reason,
00:50:02I wasn't allowed to speak, and I wasn't allowed to be angry, and I wasn't allowed to be controversial,
00:50:06and I wasn't allowed to be loud, and I wasn't allowed to tell the truth.
00:50:14So, how do I make sure I don't ever slide back into childhood? Do the opposite of all that shit
00:50:18every day, every day, every day. Take that which tempts you to evil and use it to slingshot you
00:50:25to virtue. Whatever the devil tempts you with, fuck the devil by turning it into a virtue.
00:50:33I wasn't allowed to tell the truth. I wasn't allowed to reason. I wasn't allowed to think.
00:50:36I wasn't allowed to speak. I wasn't allowed to debate or argue or negotiate. So, fuck that.
00:50:40That's what I'm doing for the rest of my life. Never going back. Never going back. No thank you.
00:50:48All right.
00:50:54I have been listening and learning from you for almost a decade. Well, thank you. I appreciate
00:50:59that. Is the Whatever podcast featuring Andrew Wilson your guilty pleasure?
00:51:10You know, Christians versus tarts, men versus women, smart versus after not so smart.
00:51:19I mean, I wouldn't mind seeing those guys getting a real workout and I will sometimes watch just
00:51:28kind of jaw drop, but it's very much is the extreme. I mean, so one of the problems with
00:51:32X or other things, it's not a problem with the platform. It's just, you know, you see all of
00:51:36these crazy woke teachers, you know, with all of their crazy stuff going on, but most teachers
00:51:44aren't like that, right? So, it exposes you to the extreme and then you end up with skewed
00:51:50statistics. So, I think that the Whatever podcast, they're dealing with a couple of percent at the
00:51:59extreme end of women, but by repeatedly exposing their viewers to that, the number grows in your
00:52:05mind, right? You think that there's more of those kinds of women than there actually are.
00:52:10Not that there aren't those women, of course, right? But
00:52:17Steph, do you still plan on taking a trip to Italy and Greece? I would like to.
00:52:22It's, you know, when my daughter is grown and out in the world, things open up a little bit,
00:52:27right? Because she's very peer-oriented at the moment. I mean, she's 16. It's like,
00:52:31hey, why don't you come spend a couple of weeks with your parents in Europe? And she's like,
00:52:36eh, but peers, right? And I can completely understand that. So,
00:52:42I think it will be still a little bit of time before that.
00:52:51All right, let's see here.
00:52:57I was talking to her before she mentioned the kids. I was giving her a chance to show
00:53:02she was better than the type. The chat was nice, but compassionate empathy does not equal
00:53:09doormat or gullible. The other two blocked as soon as money, oh, you blocked the other two as
00:53:14soon as money was brought up. I don't expect much. I already block immodest women and the urgent,
00:53:19desperate-sounding women. I am open to marrying if I find anything worth it. Donated on the website.
00:53:24Well, thank you. But my God, man, and my friends as a whole, and I say this to myself every morning.
00:53:32I say this to myself every morning, so this is not in particular to you.
00:53:37This is something I remind myself of every morning. Up your fucking game. Up your game.
00:53:49So, what do I mean by that?
00:53:54What I mean by that, and my big present to you, second of the night, what I mean by that is,
00:54:03you know, you know, looking at the profile picture, you know, in the first couple of interactions,
00:54:08you know, like that, what everyone is like. And the only way they get further into your
00:54:14heart and mind is because you lie to yourself about what you actually know.
00:54:19I guarantee you, you look back, there was something in the eyes, something in the profile picture,
00:54:27something in the about, something in the interaction that told you everything you
00:54:30needed to know, you just ignored it. Because horniness and prettiness and desperation or whatever, right?
00:54:39You know. Well, she didn't tell me. You don't think? That's like the zebra saying, well, the lion
00:54:46didn't announce himself. So, of course, I got my ass chewed off. It's like, you don't think that
00:54:50zebras have evolved to figure out where the lions are? You don't think that your ancestors, all the
00:54:58men who successfully reproduced with relatively healthy women in terms of they weren't insane or
00:55:03single moms, you don't think your ancestor, the long line of balls going back to the time before
00:55:12line of balls going back to the time before balls, you don't think
00:55:16that your ancestor males were able to detect healthy from unhealthy women, manipulative
00:55:21from honest women, exploiters from contributors, the lazy and indolent from the hardworking
00:55:28and focused? You don't think that your ancestors were able to determine good from evil, right from
00:55:34wrong, healthy from unhealthy, functional from dysfunctional? Because if any one of them had
00:55:38failed, you wouldn't be here and neither would I. You know everything there is to know about the
00:55:43woman from the first couple of seconds. Now, you can choose to ignore that knowledge if you want,
00:55:48but then don't complain to me that you only found out later that she was a chiseling money hungry
00:55:52single mother. Don't even try. Won't do it. I won't do it.
00:55:58I dropped the bonbons and do some parenting. Yeah. Seems very common for modern parents
00:56:08to give zero moral guidance to their children. Yeah, for sure. For sure. That's very sad.
00:56:15It also amazes me how cavalier parents are about the things they say to their kids.
00:56:20Oh yeah, I was talking to an acquaintance and his son went to a party where, you know, parents
00:56:27dropped the kids off. You know, 15, 16, 17 year olds. There was alcohol, there was drugs, and it's
00:56:34incomprehensible to me. Here's to the potential meetup. Well, thank you. I appreciate that.
00:56:43Or worse, that our needs and feelings are an inconvenience. Dad would literally toss the
00:56:48nearest object to hand no matter the size or weight and throw it at whomever interrupted
00:56:51his NFL college football on TV, including a crystal candy dish about 12 centimeters across.
00:56:56Yeah, for sure. Happy birthday. Thank you. I appreciate that. I appreciate that.
00:57:07Speaking of someone who may have made it up. Speaking to someone who may have made it up,
00:57:12claimed to have been in round heels, had a psychology class when she was bragging and
00:57:17scoring a 78 on her IQ test. No, I don't think so. 105, 110, I can't imagine it was 78.
00:57:26Uh, you can kind of guess if a woman will be good or not in the first few minutes and also
00:57:32by looking at her social media. Yeah, for sure. For sure.
00:57:43What country do you think will be the most insulated from the new world all through the
00:57:47next 20 years? I don't know. There's lots of people who do that kind of prepping stuff, so.
00:57:51All right. Mom involved with someone who dipped out twins at 14, 16, two months, two more later.
00:58:02He was 40 plus, not great genetic potential. Yeah. Oh, but the emotional intelligence score
00:58:08makes up the difference. Yeah. Emotional intelligence is a made up consolation prize
00:58:11for people who aren't smart. It's very sad. It's very sad. All right. Any other last questions,
00:58:20comments? I have a lovely evening of activities planned, but I want to drop in and say hi and
00:58:27thank you, of course, for another great year of philosophy. I mean, the stuff that we're laying
00:58:31down on the ground is going to be great. I can't wait for the AI to figure out how my stories have
00:58:36been slightly different each time and nobody knows the truth. Well, of course, right? What,
00:58:39am I talking to the FBI? Not yet. So, um, appreciate that. What kind of cake? Well,
00:58:48you know, cause I'm mostly off sugar. I thought I'd have a little indulgence and I had
00:58:52a mini raspberry strudel tonight. I had a mini raspberry strudel. It's actually pretty good.
00:58:57Would you make another documentary film? I've watched your previous ones and they were all
00:59:00great. Uh, maybe, maybe. Yeah. I mean, if there was a good topic, if there was a good topic.
00:59:09I mean, now we're in the, uh, hey, you know, anti-racist to the real racist, you know, boy,
00:59:14DEI doesn't make much sense. Wow. Uh, people who are exploitive, uh, in ideology tend to
00:59:19be manipulative, you know, the sort of the Matt Walsh territory and all of that. So
00:59:24yeah. Wasn't he like, uh, yeah, it's really embarrassing to take a day off. Oh,
00:59:28I'm going to have to take a day off for health reasons. And yeah.
00:59:34Are you planning to stay in Canada for the rest of your life? Don't know.
00:59:38When the economy grows, the government would just use that as collateral to borrow even
00:59:41more money. Well, that's certainly that. Right. You think the cheating will be done? Somebody
00:59:46says, I think the cheating will be done now on the Republican side so they can get their war with
00:59:50Iran. Uh, yeah. So here's a problem in life. Um, so one of the problems that you have when you get
01:00:06into conflict with amoral people is if you have integrity and virtue and you get into conflict
01:00:13with amoral people, they're at an advantage because they will lie and you won't. Right.
01:00:20So that they will lie and you won't. So it's kind of like, you know, if
01:00:33you have a duel, right? So how do you kill someone in 19th century Europe, right? Where
01:00:3918th century, where duels are allowed? Well, what you do is you challenge someone to a duel
01:00:44and then you cheat. Right. So instead of going 20 paces, you go 19 and a half turn and fire.
01:00:51You make sure that the other guy's gun is jammed. You get your servant to shoot from the woods and
01:00:58hit the guy so that nobody can see where the bullet came from. Like there's lots of things
01:01:02that you do to cheat. And so if somebody's like really eager to have a duel with you,
01:01:08then they probably have some advantage, either honest or dishonest, that
01:01:16means that you can't win. You're just going to get killed.
01:01:20So I think that the left as a whole tends to be obviously more secular and less bound by
01:01:29Christian ethics. So if I had to put a guess, I would say that more cheating happens on the left.
01:01:40All right. Do you bake using dates to replace sugar?
01:01:47I haven't baked in a long time. I haven't baked for a long time.
01:01:52Happy birthday, Steph, says Marie. You've changed my life. I'm currently making
01:02:02berry strudel. Enjoy your night. Well, thank you. I appreciate that.
01:02:06Could you speak up? I think ancient Jones missed it. I don't know what that means.
01:02:11Thank you for spending some time with your supporters on your birthday. Have a great
01:02:13night with your family. Thank you. Who surprised you most that didn't stand up for you when you
01:02:18got deplatformed? Honestly, I really wasn't expecting anyone to stand up when I was deplatformed.
01:02:29I suppose I was a little surprised at some people not getting even private messages of
01:02:33condolences or help, but no, just gone. If you fight fairly by lying, they pretend you
01:02:41have no integrity and will start to tell the truth about innocuous things. Yeah, for sure.
01:02:48Did you ever learn what a cocked hat was? Yeah, I think it's a tri-corner hat.
01:02:55Last question or two. If you have a short answer, keep having the same debate with a
01:03:00Christian friend about forgiveness. She keeps saying forgiveness is for the person giving
01:03:04it and has little to do with the person who should get it. But that is not valid.
01:03:14Because if forgiveness is beneficial to the person who gives it and it does not have to be
01:03:19earned by the person who receives it, then she has the problem in that God requires somebody to
01:03:26say they're sorry and make amends before forgiving that person. So she's saying that God is denying
01:03:31his own benefit. Why would God deny his own benefit if God is all good and all-knowing
01:03:36and all-wonderful? Then why would God deny his own benefit by failing to forgive people
01:03:40who hadn't earned it? That doesn't make any sense. If God is all-perfect,
01:03:44then God is perfect at happiness. And forgiving people who didn't earn it makes you happier,
01:03:49then God is giving up on his own happiness, which means God is not perfectly happy,
01:03:53which means God has a flaw, which means he's not all-powerful and all-knowing.
01:03:57So I don't really understand what she says. She's saying that God could be a better and
01:04:03happier being if he forgave people who didn't earn it. No. No.
01:04:13Forgiveness is a relationship. Forgiveness is a relationship.
01:04:19Otherwise, you could gain ultimate joy by forgiving every evil person in the world,
01:04:24even though you never met them, and you could just forgive them and wave your wand and just
01:04:26be happy and everything would be wonderful, but that's not the way life works.
01:04:30I used stevia to bake. Tasted great on oat flour cookies. I don't know. I don't like the artificial
01:04:36sweeteners myself. I don't like the artificial sweeteners. There's nothing that's free.
01:04:46Happiest birthday, Steph, to the best philosopher alive. I hope you have a lovely night from
01:04:50Australia. Thank you. I appreciate that. I remember Peter Schiff defended you publicly
01:04:55when you got deplatformed when it was still risky to defend you. That's true. That's very true.
01:05:00Do you feel more positive about Elon running X now than the previous regime with regards to
01:05:04free speech? Would you be willing to ever return? Yeah, Elon is absolutely a great guy when it comes
01:05:09to free speech. Elon, you know, it's the white male metric, right? Jack Dorsey in questionable
01:05:15categories, but Elon is not overseeing every decision that's made about free speech on
01:05:21Twitter. People are like, well, you know, but that's like expecting your new date to
01:05:26apologize for your bad old date. And it's like, no, but Elon is not going to sit there and saying,
01:05:30gee, I wonder what Steph posted today. I'm sure that's fine. Let's make sure he doesn't get
01:05:33deplatformed. That's not. The guy's running three multibillion dollar companies. He's not
01:05:36going to concern himself with my particular account. Thank you for the tip, my friend.
01:05:45I appreciate that. All right. Search conquering guilt. FDRpodcast.com. Conquering guilt.
01:05:54God operates within a framework. We as Mormons don't claim God is all-knowing and all-powerful.
01:05:58Yes, but if it was beneficial, like God must be adding to the happiness and virtue and positive
01:06:04experience of the universe, right? And so, if God would add to the beneficial and positive
01:06:10experiences of the universe and the happiness of the universe by forgiving people who didn't
01:06:13earn it, then God would do that. Otherwise, God would be inflicting pain, which would make him
01:06:17immoral. Happy birthday, Steph. Thank you. Hope you're having a great day and have a wonderful
01:06:25night with the family. Thanks for so many years of philosophy. Thank you. Remember to make a wish
01:06:30when you blow out the candles. Yeah, I like that. Type 2 diabetic artificial is my only choice. Oh,
01:06:36I'm sorry about that. All right. Well, thank you everyone so much for a lovely, lovely evening.
01:06:43freedomain.com. If you're listening to this later, I really would appreciate your help
01:06:47and support. It really doth mean the world to me. Thank you, Matt. I appreciate that. And if you can
01:06:54help out the show, I really would appreciate it. There's lots of great stuff coming your way. A
01:06:59couple of surprises down the road. We're working on one more AI that is replicating the call-in
01:07:05experience, because apparently I'm just really keen on putting myself out of a job. So I really,
01:07:13really appreciate your time tonight. Have yourself a glorious and wonderful evening.
01:07:16Lots of love from up here, my friends. I'll talk to you soon. Bye.
