Sunday Morning Live 26 January 2025

In this episode of Sunday Morning Philosophy, I challenge the idea that higher wages for manual labor lead to food scarcity, arguing instead that increased labor costs foster innovation. I critique misconceptions about welfare and stress the need for nuanced economic discussions. We also examine the origins of COVID-19 and the significance of critical thinking in combating misinformation. Through personal anecdotes, I highlight the importance of integrity and genuine relationships, concluding with a call for listeners to embrace their true selves and engage deeply with the complexities of life.

Transcript
00:00:00Good morning everybody. Welcome to Sunday Morning Philosophy. Wow, where the heck did
00:00:09January go? 26. 26. Hit me with an R. Hit me with an R. If you would like me to start
00:00:16with a rant, I don't want to necessarily go straight to the rant if it's early for you.
00:00:24Hit me with that. Hit me with that. Yeah, everyone's, everyone's sick. Yeah, it's true.
00:00:33It's true. Everyone is sick. Rant time. All right. Somebody writes, oh, Zimpf. Hey, Steph,
00:00:49put this out there last live stream, but I was very excited to share this with you. It's
00:00:52my first B2B job, business business job. Made good money, provided the value. I was
00:00:57paid. Customer was happy. I was happy. Clear conscience. Building a good reputation in
00:01:01the local business community. Thank you again, Steph. I'm thrilled. Congratulations. Good
00:01:05for you. Good for you. Rant. All right. So have you heard, have you heard the people
00:01:12who were saying, well, you know, if illegals are deported in America, you know, they, they
00:01:18pick the food, they pick the vegetables and therefore everyone's going to starve because
00:01:27without very cheap labor to pick the vegetables, nothing, nothing can be grown or picked or
00:01:36make it to market. And so the price of food is going to go through the roof, which of
00:01:42course would have been the exact argument as to why slavery shouldn't have been ended.
00:01:45And thank God it was. So people who just, it must be so bizarre to be so confident and
00:01:56so utterly, utterly wrong. Of course, the reality is, let's say that the average illegal
00:02:02in America gets $20,000 a year, no particular benefits, paid cash, usually under the table
00:02:08or whatever. So let's say that the price goes to 40 K a year. Well, what does that do? That
00:02:14raises the incentive to automate. That's all. It just raises the incentive to automate.
00:02:19When you have slaves, you don't invest in labor saving devices. When you have illegals,
00:02:24you don't invest in automation. And the entire modern economy is based upon the price of
00:02:32labor going up to the point where things can be automated. That's it. That's all it has
00:02:36to do with. And so it just must be a wild thing to be so fucking stupid and so fucking
00:02:47certain at the same time. There's no other factors. There's no second cause effects.
00:02:52There's no layers. There's nothing you don't understand. It's just, well, if the price
00:02:56of labor goes up, then the price of goods has to go up. Yeah, that's it. This is the
00:03:06same thing with people who don't have any clue about public choice. Well, we just give
00:03:10a lot of money to the poor and they won't be poor anymore. Because, you know, you give
00:03:14money to the poor, they're not poor anymore. I mean, more money has been shoveled at the
00:03:20poor than the entire economy of the world a hundred years ago, and they're still poor.
00:03:28So the idea that if you give money to the poor, they won't be poor anymore, it's a completely
00:03:36like this. This is what stupid people think. There's only one variable in the world, man.
00:03:41There's just one variable. That's it. One variable. Well, if the price of labor goes
00:03:47up for picking fruits and vegetables, then the price of fruits and vegetables is going
00:03:52to go up. I'm so smart. Like nobody ever changes their decisions based upon the price of labor
00:03:59going up. It's wild, man. And keeping stupid people out of public discourse was the entire
00:04:11aim and purpose of having gatekeepers. Now, I'm glad that there aren't gatekeepers around.
00:04:15I get that. It's good for me. But it also means that there's a bunch of stupid people
00:04:19out there spreading their stupidity like an airborne, or in this case, TCPIP-borne virus.
00:04:26Just a virus of retardation. Well, I mean, the welfare state was put in place not to
00:04:38help the poor, but to facilitate immigration. I mean, who's going to do all of the bad jobs
00:04:49if there aren't illegals? Who says those jobs need to be done by people? You know, there
00:04:57are robots that can clean toilets, there are robots that can pick grapes, there are robots
00:05:01that can pick strawberries, there are robots that can do all of this stuff. And what can
00:05:07you possibly say? I try to put myself in the mindset. Like, you know, if you've ever
00:05:12seen the Italian job, there's that Asian guy who jams himself into this tiny canister.
00:05:17I do try. It's hazardous, it's difficult, it's dangerous. But I literally try to put
00:05:22myself in the mindset of absolutely stupid people. And I don't even blame them. Like,
00:05:29I don't blame them because they're stupid, they can't think beyond one variable. These
00:05:33are the people who's like, well, if you didn't eat breakfast this morning, how would you
00:05:37feel? But I did eat breakfast this morning. Like, can you help it? No, it's just the way
00:05:43they are. I don't even blame them for all of this, but I do try and put myself in this
00:05:46mindset. It's really disorienting and bizarre. It's a very bizarre mode of thought to think
00:05:58that there's only one variable in life and the answer is always force. There are poor
00:06:05people. How do we help them not be poor? Well, there are people who are poor because they're
00:06:12not smart. And I have sympathy for that. It's not their fault. Just an IQ thing. IQ is,
00:06:18as you know, 80% genetic. There's still a lot to work with. 80% genetic by late teens,
00:06:23it goes up from there. But just the idea that you just give people who can't defer gratification
00:06:33and don't plan for the future, you give them a lot of money and you won't just make their
00:06:36vices worse. You know, like when I worked up north way back in the day, right? The layout
00:06:42of these small towns was always the same. It was the post office, it was the beer store,
00:06:50and it was the convenience store. So you pick up your pokey check, you pick up your
00:06:54welfare check from the post office back in the day before direct deposits, and then you
00:06:58would go to the, well, I guess there was a bank in there too, but then you go to the
00:07:04liquor store, buy your liquor, then you go to the convenience store and buy your smokes
00:07:08and snacks. Smoke them if you got them. What can you do? What can you do? The idea that
00:07:20everyone is like everyone else is really one of the most toxic things in the world
00:07:24as a whole. Everyone's just these interchangeable people. Everyone is like everyone else. Everyone
00:07:30has the same potential. Everyone has the same intelligence. Everyone has the same abilities.
00:07:34They're just completely interchangeable. It's a really psycho view of humanity, which takes
00:07:41idiots and elites by storm. But what can you do? Well, you can spread the truth. It
00:07:52is pretty wild, you know, when I cruise on X from time to time, it is pretty wild to
00:07:56see people discussing all the stuff I was talking about 10 or 15 years ago as if it's
00:08:01a revelation. It's a complete revelation. This woman wrote that she's a teacher. I guess
00:08:09she's a professor, sorry. She says, I'm no longer a teacher. I'm just a human plagiarism detector.
00:08:14I used to spend my time grading time giving comments for improving writing skills. Now
00:08:22most of that time is just checking to see if a student wrote their own paper. What a waste of
00:08:26life. So the CIA now says COVID did come from a Chinese lab in a studying reversal after years
00:08:47of denial under Biden, because it's science, baby. You know, science changes when the president
00:08:53changes in the same way that physics and math changes when the president changes. So
00:08:58the CIA now says COVID did come from a Chinese lab. Well, I suppose it's kind of tough to
00:09:03blame the Chinese when they're funding your political class. When that political class
00:09:06changes, maybe you can criticize the Chinese again. I thought that was great. So what's
00:09:15that? Five years? Five years or so? Or more? Proverbs 18.2, a fool takes no pleasure in
00:09:22understanding, but only in expressing his opinion, except that they don't think it's
00:09:27an opinion, right? Is this true? Is this true? Every week, 21 fathers take their own life
00:09:35due to child access issues. Is that true? That's wild. So this was nice. Somebody wrote
00:09:48Cerno and Poso appreciation post. And this is Mike Cernovich and of course Jack Posobiec.
00:10:00This interface absolutely blows, because when you zoom in on a tweet, you lose your place
00:10:07in your list. But Cernovich wrote, which I thought was kind of nice, very nice, actually. Mike
00:10:12Cernovich wrote about other people who ushered in the golden age, as they call it, like Breitbart,
00:10:19Alex Marlow, Milo, Allum, Sargon of Akkad, the memers, Paul the Great, Molyneux, everyone pitched
00:10:26in in their way, which I thought was nice to hear. Nice to see.
00:10:40All right, let's get to your questions and comments and issues and criticisms. I am thrilled
00:10:47to hear. Yeah, people talking about themselves being sick. Yeah, there's something nasty,
00:10:54something wicked this way comes. That was nasty, man. I think the last time I was that sick was
00:11:00like, I don't know, like it was almost 20 years ago. I had bad food from a sandwich place,
00:11:07and I ended up passing out for the day. And then, and of course, I thought, oh my god,
00:11:11I passed out for the day. I'm not going to get any sleep at night. Turns out, nope,
00:11:14sleep at night was totally fine. So I basically got like 60 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period.
00:11:24Somebody says the sickness came through my neck of the woods a couple of weeks ago. I was
00:11:27hallucinating and lost 10 pounds. Vaxy superbugs me things. Who knows? But yeah, it was nasty, man.
00:11:34And I, yeah, what did I have? A little bowl of yogurt and fruit yesterday. That was it.
00:11:45If we end slavery, everybody will be naked. Well, and it's one thing to believe that back
00:11:50in the day, but we literally got rid of slavery and agricultural productivity went through the
00:11:55roof, right? As I've said before, like in the beginning of the 1900s, 80% of Americans were
00:12:03involved in farming. Now it's two or 3% and productivity is through the roof, right?
00:12:13You know, it's a funny thing. Maybe this is sort of a demonic,
00:12:18it's a demonic thing, right? It's sort of a demonic thing that's going on,
00:12:23which is, will you sell all that is virtuous and peaceful in your society for money, right?
00:12:30Will you sell all that is virtuous and peaceful in your society for money? So there's this
00:12:38absolute lie that's going on these days, which is to say, well, we have a low birth rate
00:12:44and an aging population. So either you have to have endless immigration or
00:12:51you have to accept a significantly lower standard of living.
00:12:59That's a wild thing to say. First of all, people who are trying to
00:13:03con you will always give you two options to limit your thinking to those two options.
00:13:08So there is of course a collapse in the birth rate because women would rather date than raise
00:13:13children. So I get that there's a collapse in the birth rate and there's an aging population.
00:13:22So what that means, of course, since the population is dropping,
00:13:26the price of labor will go up. When the price of labor goes up, you get more automation.
00:13:30So the idea that you need mass immigration to deal with the declining birth rate,
00:13:34it's completely false, completely false. The birth rate in the past was like six to eight.
00:13:40Then it went down to like four to six. Then it went down to two to four. Now it's
00:13:44somewhere below two or like below one, even in some places like South Korea.
00:13:50So who cares? And let's say, let's say that for some reason, the laws of economics are
00:13:55completely suspended, right? The laws of economics are completely suspended.
00:13:59There's no laws of economics at all.
00:14:05And somehow the fact that there are fewer people to work in no way drives automation. And let's say
00:14:10that, let's say that you are going to have less income, even though there are fewer people in
00:14:24the workforce. Well, so fewer people in the workforce, this is just second order thinking,
00:14:30what happens if you have fewer people, fewer adults, more old people and fewer young people?
00:14:37Well, what happens to the price of housing? It collapses, which is great. If you want to start
00:14:43a family, right? This is how it's supposed to work. This is how the ebb and flow in society
00:14:47is supposed to work. If there are more kids, then you're going to end up with a higher price
00:14:53of housing. And then when there are, I mean, I know that the price of housing is elastic,
00:14:56but the supply of housing is elastic. But if there are fewer people, then the price of housing goes
00:15:01down, which means it then becomes cheaper to have children and the wages go up because there are
00:15:06fewer people. So just the idea that, well, you know, if there are fewer people working, it's just,
00:15:15it's, well, there's just less money. You know, let's say that there are
00:15:20a hundred million people making $50,000 a year, and that goes down to 50 million people.
00:15:24That means that your GDP goes down by half. It's like, it really doesn't.
00:15:29It really doesn't mean that at all. It really doesn't at all. Oh my God, it doesn't at all.
00:15:38What does it mean? Well, it means that people will end up being paid double because there
00:15:43are half as many, or there'll be more automation, which will increase worker productivity.
00:15:50So it doesn't mean that at all. But then this is just, it's just stupid people.
00:15:55A hundred million people at $50,000 a year. Okay. That's a huge, huge economy. But boy,
00:16:01if there are a few, if there are only 50 million people at $50,000 a year, I mean, like there's
00:16:05no other variable. There's no other variable that changes. There's one variable. One variable.
00:16:11That's all that happens. That is the saddest, stupid stuff around, right?
00:16:20But thank goodness the flu vaccine was invented 83 years ago.
00:16:26Thank goodness the flu vaccine was invented 80 years ago. So now we don't have to worry about
00:16:32the flu anymore. 82 years ago. 82? Something like that. Long time ago. Long time ago.
00:16:43Fauci was pardoned back to 2014. Yeah.
00:16:46Yeah.
00:16:55All right. Let's see here.
00:17:01Let's get to your comments.
00:17:07Well, this was, this was the issue of bullying, right? Bullying
00:17:17Well, that's a whole other topic. We'll talk about that in another time. All right.
00:17:21Every school child should have to watch videos of Milton Friedman. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. For sure.
00:17:26The pain of Dunning-Kruger. Yeah. The period people. Well, it's just like this. Period.
00:17:30If the workforce goes down, the economy goes down. Period. It's that simple.
00:17:36That's right. Because the complex choices of 330 million people
00:17:40are just down to one variable and it's totally simple.
00:17:43When people say, it's simple, they say, I'm a simpleton.
00:17:57What do you think about China's new AI?
00:18:01Well, this is the interesting thing about China. Have you seen these videos
00:18:05where the Chinese government wants to build a highway and there's a guy who won't sell his
00:18:11house. So they build the highway around the guy.
00:18:17I mean, so apparently the communist government has such respect for property rights. They will
00:18:22never take your home if they can't convince you to sell it. Where of course, eminent domain would
00:18:27just have you, the government in the West would force you to sell it, to quote, sell your house,
00:18:31which is not just to steal your house. Right? So, I mean, oh my gosh. Well, in China, you can't
00:18:39criticize the government and it's like, but there are groups you can't criticize in the West.
00:18:44So I don't know. I don't know, man. So China's new AI, it would be interesting
00:18:53to know where they got all their data sets from.
00:18:57And as we know, the Biden administration was super friendly to China, super friendly to China
00:19:03to the point where it seems like they were funding the Wuhan lab. I mean, it's funny,
00:19:08you know, cause back in the day, I mean, I did a whole video called the case against China
00:19:12showing how it came from the Chinese lab. And, uh, but I didn't think that the Americans had
00:19:18funded it. That didn't cross my mind because I'm just such a naive, innocent waif. So, uh,
00:19:24do China's new AI or China's new AI is not programmed for political correctness, right?
00:19:30So, uh, it's, uh, not, it's not feminine. It's not sparing people's feelings, right?
00:19:40For a lot of women and some men, of course, right. But for a lot of women,
00:19:44protecting feelings is more important than promoting truth.
00:19:49So China's AI will have some frank and brutal truths that would be unacceptable in the West
00:20:00because the fields of a real stuff where is it offensive as opposed to, is it true, allows
00:20:06manipulators and the immature to weaponize being offended against the truth, which is,
00:20:12I mean, basically the West is, it's all just new blasphemy laws. That's all it is.
00:20:18It's upsetting and a front to my faith for you to ask these questions or raise these issues.
00:20:23And, uh, the new blasphemy laws of political correctness are, uh, are very brutal.
00:20:33It's sociopathic thinking that people are just little interchangeable reasons to
00:20:37It's sociopathic thinking that people are just little interchangeable resource units. Yeah,
00:20:43for sure. Everyone's a pawn, right?
00:20:54Unlimited energy via solar.
00:20:59What a load of God's wallop. Unlimited energy via solar.
00:21:03Yeah, well, until there's a hailstorm or it's cloudy.
00:21:10I'm not saying it couldn't happen, but the technology is nowhere where it needs to be
00:21:13like the wind farms, right? After 20 years, they're still not paid off. And then you got
00:21:18to dispose of them. Or how much oil does it take to grease up the, uh, giant, uh, wind farms,
00:21:2620, 20 foot countersunk concrete.
00:21:31I've heard a woman tell 35 year old single moms that they are still in their prime.
00:21:42I've just been listening to early 2020 podcasts. Who'd have think it came from a lab? Yeah.
00:21:51So the cover story as to why Fauci is pardoned is that, well,
00:21:54Trump's just going to go after him irrationally. So we need to pardon him to avoid unjust prosecution.
00:22:02But you see this, there's a terrible, it's a crushing meme. It's this woman looking kind of
00:22:08goggle eyed. And it's like when the guy you took medical advice from has to get a presidential
00:22:14pardon. Are you working on any new philosophies? I'm not sure what that means. Everything is new.
00:22:24As in something on the level of UPBRTR or PCP. PCP, what I could take on 10 cops.
00:22:33Nothing sets me off like healthcare is a human right or the wealthy pay a fair share when half
00:22:37the people in the US pay no federal taxes. Sure. Yeah. Healthcare is a human right.
00:22:44It's demonic, right? It's, uh, so people who, and this is what I would always say is if people
00:22:50said healthcare is a human right, I'm like, well, why haven't you become a doctor and you give your
00:22:53work away for free? Well, because of the system. It's like, no, no, no. If healthcare is a human
00:22:57right, you should become a doctor and give away your services for free. So if you haven't done
00:23:05that, then you don't really believe that it's a human right because if it's a human right,
00:23:09you should provide it. But everybody wants to be on the receiving end of these quote rights.
00:23:12Nobody wants to be on the delivery end of those quote rights. A wealthy pay your fair share. Yeah.
00:23:19That's just a envy and resentment.
00:23:27Ah, rocking the Voldemort look. Is that me? Oh yeah. Cause I got a haircut. Yeah.
00:23:33I, you know, that's so nice at the hair. When I sit down with my stupid tufts at the hairdressers
00:23:41or while the barbers really, um, they're so nice. Cause they're like, Oh, how do you want it? And
00:23:46I'm like, it's very nice for you to offer, but just basically give me a number one buzz. I don't
00:23:54want to shave it completely cause that just makes me, gives me cancer flashbacks. But, um, just give
00:23:59me a number one buzz square on the back. That's not pretend. I got a lot of options here, but it's
00:24:03very nice for them to, to offer. How do you want your style? Well, um, in the past, if you've got
00:24:11a time machine, we can talk. No, the, the way that you, so how you destroy a society is you
00:24:27manipulate and strip mine people's sentimentality for old, poor people to give them pensions and
00:24:34healthcare. And then you convince the young not to have any children. And then within about a
00:24:40generation or a generation and a half, you destroy the economy. It's a beautiful, I mean,
00:24:45so talk about your fifth generation warfare. It's fantastic. All right. Frank says I've always used
00:24:53negative internal dialogue to push myself to grow. You suck it and need to do better. How can I
00:24:58change my internal dialogue to push myself to do better without beating myself up? Oh, that's
00:25:04interesting. Um, well, competence is fun.
00:25:19Competence is fun. Like if you've ever played a racket sport, I have this war in my mind when I
00:25:24play racket sports, because I try to control it with my mind. Let's do this to that. And it doesn't
00:25:28work. And my body's like, fuck off and let me play. Like you get all the philosophy stuff. I,
00:25:32I just supply your brain. So you get to do all the philosophy stuff. It's my body's time to play.
00:25:38So then when I stopped trying to control it, I do like a thousand times better.
00:25:42So there's just that, that battle. So competence is, it's just more fun. I enjoy racket sports
00:25:49more when I just let myself play and, um, don't try and control, oh, I'm going to do this strategy
00:25:56that because it doesn't work. Right. My body resists and says, no, it's my play time. Not
00:26:01your stupid brain. Your brain gets it. Brain gets most of the play time. This is my play time.
00:26:07So, um, not you suck at and need to do better, but I mean, competence is, is more enjoyable, right?
00:26:17I mean, when you see like incredible guitarists like Stevie Ray Vaughan or Prince do their thing,
00:26:23like go watch Prince at the benefit concert after George Harrison died. While my guitar gently
00:26:29weeps, watch him do his solo. It's just mind boggling. It's literally mind boggling how he
00:26:33could make that guitar saying he was one of the best guitarists. And of course, mostly known for
00:26:37his falsetto and tight pants. But, um, when you see somebody who's so competent that they really
00:26:46just play and he gives a smile, I remember that smile in purple rain, where he just smiles while
00:26:50he's playing. Cause it's just so automatic as opposed to someone who's kind of hunched over
00:26:53and trying to remember where to put their fingers. Competence is just more fun. So aiming
00:26:59to become better at things is hedonistic in a way. It's discipline that leads to hedonism,
00:27:04right? Like working out and eating well is discipline that leads to the hedonism of not
00:27:09falling apart physically or getting overweight and joint pains and stuff like that. So it's more fun
00:27:14to not have joint pains and to be fat and short of breath. That's no fun at all, right?
00:27:23I mean, a chronic smoker, David Lynch could barely cross a room in the last year or two of his life
00:27:28because his emphysema got so bad, I think. So, you know, there's not much hedonism at all. So
00:27:38it's more fun. Not you suck at, but wouldn't it be, won't I enjoy it more if I'm better at it,
00:27:44right? Aim for happiness and happiness requires a discipline. All right. Somebody says, Steph,
00:27:53when does a person go from just being unwilling to reason into being willing to commit evil?
00:27:56What's the difference there? So people who are unwilling to reason because they want to
00:28:04maintain control over their own narratives, because narratives is, I just did a show on
00:28:09this this morning, one of my Bible verses, a narrative is how you get to commit evil. So
00:28:18for instance, we all know that the sort of steps of genocide, you have to dehumanize
00:28:23the group that you're going to slaughter, right? Which is why the modern world is so concerning,
00:28:28right? You have to dehumanize the groups that you're going to mass murder. We saw this with
00:28:34the Hutsis and the Tutsis in Africa, Ethiopia, their cockroaches, you know, we saw this in
00:28:43various places where you just see this dehumanization. So you have to have a narrative
00:28:49wherein they're not human, they are contemptible, they are scum. And so rationally, they're not,
00:28:58right? Rationally, they're just other human beings. So people oppose reason because reason
00:29:03interferes with the narratives that are needed to justify their immorality, right? I mean,
00:29:12I know this from personal experience, right? So if you're coming up with arguments that upset
00:29:17other people, then they will say, well, you're a Nazi, you're a white supremacist, you're a
00:29:22whatever it is, right? And phrenologists or whatever, right? So they do that so that they
00:29:30can justify their aggression against you. So there's a narrative, right? Now, the factual
00:29:35basis or the rational basis is to say, is it true? Is it true what's being said? And is it
00:29:42important? Is it relevant, right? And the way it's gone in the modern world, and this is just
00:29:53the result of more and more feminine gynocracy, right? More feminine dominance in social discourse
00:30:02is, is it nice? Is this upsetting? Is it unkind? Does it make people sad or mad or feel bad,
00:30:08as opposed to, is it true? So people oppose reason because reason interferes
00:30:16with the internal narratives that they need in order to be immoral, right?
00:30:25So it's necessary, but not sufficient. Of course, not everyone who's unwilling to reason becomes
00:30:31a great evildoer, but all great evildoers have to abandon reason ahead of time.
00:30:38If there's any threat to freedom at school, it's modern day slavery happening in broad daylight.
00:30:48Yeah, okay, if economics is so simple, how much will I have to pay
00:30:52on average for a loaf of bread in a year from now? Right. Are the free speech police
00:30:57in the UK as bad as reported? I assume worse because of the chilling effect, right?
00:31:02When did you lose your virginity? Well, why would you assume that?
00:31:13So when historians a thousand years from now look at the fall of the West,
00:31:15will they blame women getting the vote? No, I don't think so. I think they will
00:31:20blame state power as a whole. Women getting the vote is just one manifestation of state power.
00:31:24Solar collecting satellites beam power down, not ground-based solar. I know the difference. It
00:31:35will take a few decades, so will fusion. Fine, but the sooner started, the sooner done.
00:31:41Yeah, that's great. If you believe that's possible, then you should invest in it and
00:31:45make it happen, right? But all the people who think that the economy is just down to one thing
00:31:54is like, well, why aren't you already rich? If you understand the economy so well, then…
00:32:01So I said, the answer would be people say, oh, well, if we lose the illegals,
00:32:06then the price of food will go through the roof. And it's like, okay, so then you need to short
00:32:13the stocks of the farms and food production companies because as the price of food goes up,
00:32:19their stock price might go down. So you should short those stocks. And if you really believe
00:32:24your thesis, you should. And then if you become a billionaire by shorting the stocks,
00:32:28then you can send money to the people who've been deported, right? You can help them, right? You can
00:32:35really help them. And if people are like, well, I haven't done that. I'm not going to do that,
00:32:41right? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's like, okay, well, then you're just talking.
00:32:45If you have certain knowledge about something that's economic, right? If you have certain
00:32:49knowledge of something, then you should invest in it. And then you can make a fortune and you
00:32:55can help all the people you claim are being so terribly mistreated, right? It's that simple.
00:33:02And if they won't do it or haven't done it, well then, right?
00:33:09Then it's just noise, right? Well, there's going to be this huge economic change. Well,
00:33:14all economic change you can profit from. You can profit from all big economic. So,
00:33:20if you know for certain that there's going to be this big economic change,
00:33:25then you can buy or sell futures, right? I mean, let's just talk about, you think that,
00:33:32well, without illegals, that the price of pork is going to go high. Well, then you can work with
00:33:37pork futures to short them, right? And then you can make an absolute fortune. It's like, well,
00:33:42I don't have that much money. It's like, well, you start small and then you make more and more
00:33:45profit and then you get bigger and bigger, right? So, I don't, it's just people just making noise.
00:33:57They're just sniffing their own farts, loving the sound of their own voice. And they love
00:34:01sounding smart to stupid people. They love sounding smart to stupid people.
00:34:07Oh, yeah, that's true, man. And you've really thought about these things. People who haven't
00:34:14thought about anything. Somebody says, I have great hair, 34. I'm willing until I'm 80. I
00:34:24waste a lot of time having to do my hair. What do you mean you have to do your hair? You don't
00:34:28have to do your hair. You don't have to do your hair. All right. The cat lady recently died. How
00:34:45do so many women get so addicted to plastic surgery to the point where they end up grotesque
00:34:49monsters? That's not common, though. That's not common. Has your mother watched your channel,
00:34:54do you reckon? I don't think so. I don't think so at all.
00:35:03What would you say to a friend who is dabbling in nihilism, i.e.,
00:35:07why do the right thing when you can gain more not bothering? Who cares? Life is meaningless,
00:35:12but it's open to virtue. Why do the right thing when you can gain more from not bothering?
00:35:20Well, there's a couple of ways you can sell morality to practical people. I mean,
00:35:31the moral is the practical, but in business, why would you do the right thing
00:35:41rather than chisel and scam and steal so that you get a good reputation
00:35:46and your costs of business go down? If you are known as a guy who always keeps his word,
00:35:51you don't need $50,000 worth of legal fees for every transaction. A handshake is great.
00:35:58So it's very practical from that standpoint.
00:36:04The reason why you want to have integrity is the only way that you generally gain
00:36:12by cheating is if people believe you have integrity. I mean, if you go up to someone
00:36:17and you say, hey, I really want to pretend to be honest, but I'm actually going to cheat you,
00:36:23and people won't do business with you. So you have to pretend to be honest
00:36:27in order to exploit people, right? And so, that kind of lying and falsehood is not good for you,
00:36:37because you have to pretend to be something you are not, which means that your actual essence
00:36:47is repugnant to others and repugnant to you. It's not practical. You can't be authentic,
00:36:52you can't be genuine. You have to falsify everything, which means that you're emotionally
00:36:56inaccessible, which means you can't fall in love. And falling in love is the greatest
00:37:01good in the world if it's honorable love, which is really the only kind of love that there is.
00:37:07So, if you have to falsify everything about your existence in order to make all of this profit,
00:37:14because you have to lie to people about who you really are, there's an absolute dichotomy between
00:37:19your public self and your private self, which means nobody can ever get to know you, because
00:37:23those manipulative defenses and those falsifications don't just vanish in the evening.
00:37:30And so, you will be a false, manipulative, lying person, which means nobody can ever get close to
00:37:36you, you can never have any genuine human contact, you can't ever fall in love, you can't ever lower
00:37:40your defenses. It's a horrible way to live. It's really, really unpleasant and really difficult.
00:37:45And then you end up with a bunch of stuff. Let's say you get a bunch of stuff, but it's the oldest
00:37:49reality in the world that stuff does not make you happy, right? Look at all the people who win
00:37:53the lottery, they end up, the majority of them end up bankrupt and miserable.
00:37:59And of course, the poor people in the world these days are getting more resources than even kings
00:38:04could get a couple of hundred years ago, and they're still often quite poor and miserable
00:38:08and so on, right? So, that is a fact and reality. And the other thing too, if you have kids,
00:38:20and if you are honest with your children, and you say, you need to lie, steal, and cheat,
00:38:26and bully, and manipulate, and do whatever you can to get resources, if you say all of that,
00:38:33then you can never be close to your kids, and your kids won't respect you.
00:38:38And if your kids won't respect you, you're not going to have any authority with them.
00:38:42If you don't have any authority with them, they'll end up doing terrible things,
00:38:45which you'll be on the hook for, and it will be a miserable existence.
00:38:48All right, somebody says, I joined Blue Sky, and I've never seen so much hate for expressing
00:39:00conservative views in my life. Vile replies from leftists, including expletives. I thought the
00:39:04left was about peace, love, and understanding. No, no, that's just a cover, right? That's like
00:39:10the love bombing of a cult, right? Who is Steph talking to? I'm not sure.
00:39:23Yeah, it's funny, because India is now saying, well, you know, all these H-1B visa people who
00:39:27might be coming back to India, it's really bad, because there's going to flood the market and
00:39:30lower the price of labor. Really? How interesting.
00:39:41How about we talk about how to maintain morality while not becoming victims?
00:39:46Okay, I'm not sure what that means.
00:39:49Yeah, you can trust me, and my lawyers will drop the contract from the firm Dewey, Cheatham & Howe.
00:40:09Some girl saw me walking by her apartment one time and asked me in to help her do
00:40:13something with a hammer. Then she said, you're not going to kill me, right?
00:40:15Like I was an honest murderer. No, she was probably flirting with you by
00:40:21putting you in the role of protector.
00:40:30Honestly, I'm a little broken around doing the right thing. I find it very difficult not to
00:40:33point out things I think are incorrect. Does not make me many friends. Huh?
00:40:41What does that mean? I'm a little broken. I find it very difficult not to point out
00:40:44things I think are incorrect. Does not make me many friends.
00:40:48Well, that's a false dichotomy if ever I heard one. Do you think that people can be friends if
00:40:54they don't know your true thoughts and opinions and perspectives and feelings and ideas and
00:40:58arguments? You think people can be friends? What the fuck are you doing talking about friendships
00:41:03as if, well, the more I lie to myself and others, the more, the fewer friends I have. It's like,
00:41:10your only chance of having friends is to tell the truth. Everything else is bullshit proximity.
00:41:16If the price of being in contact with someone is having to lie
00:41:19to them, then you're lying to yourself about that it's a friendship.
00:41:30I find it very difficult to point out things I think are incorrect. In other words,
00:41:33people get mad at you for telling the truth.
00:41:36But the fundamental falsehood there is you think that people can be your friends
00:41:43if they force you or bully you to lie to them.
00:41:51They're not friends. Friends care about what you think and feel.
00:41:55Right? That's what friends do. They care about what you think and feel.
00:41:58Friends do not get offended if you say your honest thoughts and feelings. They may disagree
00:42:06with them. In fact, I'm sure at times they will. They're not friends if they're just complying.
00:42:12But friends accept who you are and value your thoughts and feelings, and friends are humble
00:42:21in that everybody has things that they think that are unacceptable to the mainstream. Everybody
00:42:28thinks things that are unacceptable to the mainstream.
00:42:31See, I was thinking about this this morning. Why do people conform? People conform to others because
00:42:41they have a very bad relationship with their own conscience.
00:42:46I'm not saying this is you. I'm just saying people in general conform to others because
00:42:49they have a very bad relationship with their own conscience. They have a bad relationship
00:42:54with their own conscience. Therefore, they need the approval of others.
00:42:57If you don't have the approval of yourself, you either change your behavior to gain self-approval,
00:43:02or you run into the syrupy, squid-tentacle arms of other people's approval, and then you say,
00:43:07well, I'm good because other people say I'm good.
00:43:10Not I'm good because I conform to abstract standards of morality and integrity and honesty.
00:43:14So, if you have a bad relationship with your own conscience, that's your conscience saying
00:43:28you should act in a better manner, should be more honest and braver.
00:43:37That discomfort, a lot of people drug themselves with conformity to avoid
00:43:42the lashings of a bad conscience.
00:43:47It is a drug. Some people who have social anxiety,
00:43:51well, instead of dealing with that social anxiety, they will instead drug
00:43:58themselves with alcohol. It's a big, big one for social anxiety. That's a big one.
00:44:03Some people, they're stuck in a low social circle
00:44:13that condemns and attacks any attempts they make to improve themselves.
00:44:21So, if you've ever been in the low social circle, and of course, I grew up in a low social circle,
00:44:27and when I really worked to improve myself, there was a fair amount of hostility in all of that.
00:44:37A fair amount of, oh, you think you're better than us, or oh, you just think you're all that,
00:44:42or whatever it is, right? And that was kind of unpleasant.
00:44:51Kind of unpleasant. So, one of the reasons that people turn to weed is they have potential
00:44:59that they are not manifesting out of fear of disapproval from the losers around them,
00:45:04and so they drug themselves to stay down there. They drug themselves to avoid their own potential
00:45:11because trying to achieve their own potential is going to bring them into contempt and conflict
00:45:19with those around them. The real slavery is horizontal, right? The real slavery is horizontal.
00:45:29All right. Hello, Steph. Hello, Sander. What do you do when your toddler just cries and you
00:45:39don't know why? My son is 19 months old, and sometimes we just don't know why he cries after
00:45:43checking hunger food, diaper, hugs, cuddles, toys, and everything else we can think of.
00:45:47He barely uses any intelligible words right now. He'll shake his head to show he doesn't
00:45:53want something, but beyond that, he doesn't understand verbal communication yet.
00:45:57Ooh, at 19 months? That's a smidge late, isn't it? I'm no doctor or anything like that, but
00:46:04I think my daughter, my wife kept a list of all of my daughter's words starting pretty young.
00:46:13Okay, average age. Babies start using words.
00:46:21She definitely was chatting at about a year for sure. All right.
00:46:32Four to six months, baby size will give way to babbling.
00:46:36Seven to 12 months, your child's babbling will begin to sound more like words.
00:46:41They'll intentionally repeat sounds like gaga. All you hear is radio gaga.
00:46:47Around 12 months, they usually say their first word, depends on the race.
00:46:53Hi, bye-bye. My daughter was big on elbow.
00:46:58Elbow. 13 to 18 months. So, 19 to 24 months,
00:47:08the toddlers have a language explosion around 19 to 20 months. After several weeks of slow
00:47:12progress, they suddenly start learning words at a ferocious rate, as many as nine words every day.
00:47:19Why? Why? Why? Yeah, okay. So, I'm obviously no expert and don't take anything I'm saying
00:47:26as any kind of medical or psychological or neurological advice, for heaven's sakes,
00:47:30because I'm just a podcaster. But if I were in your shoes, I would go and have my child
00:47:38evaluated to figure out why there are no words at 19 months. So, I assume the crying
00:47:49has something to do with frustration or sort of the lack of communication.
00:47:57So, if he doesn't understand verbal communication at 19 months, it's well worth getting him,
00:48:03in my view, again, take the doctor's advice. But if I were in your shoes,
00:48:08I would go and get him evaluated. And I wish you the very best with that. All right.
00:48:16On the topic of willingness to commit evil versus unwillingness to reason, I thought that the
00:48:22characters Gollum and Boromir are hardly handy to think about. Boromir wasn't reasonable,
00:48:28but hadn't committed evil yet and repented. Gollum abandoned reason with the possession
00:48:32of the ring of power. It would be easier to convince Boromir to correct course than Gollum.
00:48:37And I think it may be important to identify who's the Gollums and Boromirs in our lives,
00:48:41not messing up the two, so we can help the right ones. Okay, so tell me the number of people,
00:48:49tell me the number of people in your life
00:48:54who have done evil and repented and recovered.
00:49:02Tell me the number of people in your life who've done significant evil and repented and recovered.
00:49:13My wife gets mad at me when I express conservative views when we are with friends,
00:49:16most of whom are overly educated liberals. She says we will lose friends if so,
00:49:21they're not friends. But that's a male-female difference, right, as a whole.
00:49:30My daughter spoke late. She got very frustrated about communication.
00:49:36I've read you need to say 21,000 words a day for your baby for proper linguistic development.
00:49:40Yeah, definitely talk to you.
00:49:47If somebody says that's a great point about weed use, it's why I use that crap for a decade.
00:49:53Not just a podcaster, Steph, you're a philosopher, lol. That's a false dichotomy, isn't it?
00:50:06Let's see here. I am on the autism spectrum, so I'm sensitive to issues like that.
00:50:11They can test early for signs. You can get formal diagnosis by five, my friend's youngest son being
00:50:15monitored and diagnosed for that at age three or four. Yeah, I think it's worth talking to
00:50:22your doctor and seeing if you can get a referral and all of that.
00:50:26Okay, so the number of people that you people have known who have done significant evil
00:50:35and recovered 00, 100, maybe one, no one.
00:50:45Two, me and my husband, but I suppose that depends on extent or definition of evil.
00:50:50Two, I have also my husband. Yeah, okay. I'm sorry because I know it sounds like I'm switching
00:51:01the definition and maybe I am, but let me just be a little bit more clear about what I'm talking
00:51:08about. With a husband and a wife, if one person morally improves, the other person has to morally
00:51:16improve or the marriage tends to end, so it's very high stakes. You don't have that with other
00:51:20people in your life. You don't have that with family. You don't have that with friends. You
00:51:23don't have that with business colleagues. I'm sorry because I know this sounds like a switcheroo
00:51:27and it was my lack of clarity at the beginning, so I apologize for that. I don't like the term
00:51:34autism. I just really don't like it. These days, I'm not saying there aren't any autistic people,
00:51:39but I'm just saying that this autism thing has just become a synonym for integrity these days
00:51:44or honesty. Well, if you're honest, even with social blowback, you must be autistic, right?
00:51:50I think it's bad. So,
00:51:55if it's you and your husband, the stakes are so high and you have such an investment in each other,
00:52:00particularly if you have kids, that it's not a fair comparison for moral improvement with you
00:52:06and just others as a whole. So, my question is, without, and I apologize for being unclear before,
00:52:15without very high stakes, massive investment, close contact, and encouragement like a marriage
00:52:22has, how many people in your life do you know have morally improved outside of a spouse?
00:52:30I mean, I've did some wrong things when I was a kid. In my teens, I never did any great evils, but
00:52:40somebody says, I did terrible things, but the road of redemption and virtue is completely worth it.
00:52:44Good for you. Good for you. So, I think that's a good question. I don't know. I don't know.
00:52:52I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
00:52:57Good for you. Good for you. So, yeah, people, a spouse is going to have to take that off the
00:53:03equation. Somebody says one, somebody says outside of having a spouse, zero. A spousal relationship
00:53:14is just so different from everything else. You know, I was just talking about in the show this
00:53:22morning. So, I've been married to my wife for 22 years. We've known each other 23 years.
00:53:31We've had the enormous blessing of both working from home, so we get to spend
00:53:38most of our days together. So, we've been married really for about 150 years.
00:53:45This is what was so funny for me. People are like, well, I had to spend time. My marriage
00:53:49really suffered when I had to spend time home over COVID, and it's like, marriage has only
00:53:54got better. The more time we spend together, the happier we are. Anyway.
00:54:02Somebody says, I know of one, my business partner who completely changed the life of
00:54:05hedonistic drug use and abuse of others to virtue. That's very good. That's very good.
00:54:10Did he find God or how did that, you know, how that came about?
00:54:13Well, let me, so here's a test, right? So, here's a test. COVID is a great moral test, right?
00:54:25So, how many people do you know who got behind all of the tyrannical COVID measures
00:54:34and fell into the line? What is the Biden's White House saying?
00:54:38The people who aren't vaccinated are going to face a winter of severe disease and death.
00:54:44How many people, now that the truth has come out, how many people have apologized? This would be a
00:54:51basic mark of integrity, right? How many people that you know who came down like you on a ton
00:54:59of bricks, if you were skeptical of the vaccine and its virtues and values, or did not believe,
00:55:05as I never believed in the virtues and values of the lockdowns and so on, how many people have,
00:55:11yeah, this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated, absolutely, all of this stuff, how many people
00:55:18have come back and apologized to you for that and said, oof, you know, I really did get kind
00:55:22of sucked in, that was, you know, pretty, I guess I kind of panicked and I really threw you under the
00:55:26bus and it turns out that, you know, even if they don't think that you were perfect, right,
00:55:31even if they don't think you were perfect, have they come back to you and said,
00:55:36you had a point, you had a point?
00:55:46That is, to me, just a basic integrity.
00:55:54Have you commented on the Elon Musk Nazi salute? From my heart to yours, right? No,
00:55:59that's not a Nazi salute, that's, I mean, honestly, I think it's, I'm not saying it was
00:56:06conscious, what Elon Musk did, but it was absolutely brilliant. It was absolutely brilliant.
00:56:13I love the fact that he did that gesture and the left went nuts, because it shows that they've
00:56:20learned nothing and it's further destroying their brand. The Democrats are going to have a very
00:56:25tough time. I mean, not to pat myself on the back too much, I talked about this, oh gosh,
00:56:31years ago, saying that the Hispanic population in particular, but the immigrant population as a whole
00:56:37was going to turn on the Democrats and become more conservative. I even made the joke like the
00:56:43Mexicans did not flee Mexico in order to turn America into Mexico, right? Like if you're fleeing
00:56:51Mexico, this big sombrero of leftism coming behind you to turn America into Mexico, they don't want
00:56:56that as a whole, right? So, I mean, that was as predictable as sunrise and I talked about this
00:57:01like 10 years ago. But the fact that they're still hallucinating Nazis everywhere is beautiful. I
00:57:14mean, they have so much to, they're never going to over, how are they going to overcome, you know,
00:57:19how is the media going to overcome the fact that they covered up Joe Biden's half brain for
00:57:26four plus years? I mean, how can you possibly, like it's blindingly obvious to everyone
00:57:32and the media claims they had no idea. I mean, that's just a basic, and that's not a partisan
00:57:36issue, right? That's just so. So, the fact that they went full Nazi hysteria rather than saying,
00:57:46you know, all of this seeing Nazis everywhere really didn't help us with regards to the
00:57:50election. So, maybe we should cool that shit for a while. Nope, they can't stop. They can't
00:57:54help themselves. It's just Pavlovian, right? There's a Nazi. So, I thought it was brilliant
00:58:03to show people, and again, I'm not saying it was conscious on his part, but I thought it was
00:58:07brilliant just to show people that they've learned nothing and nothing has changed,
00:58:16and they shouldn't, right? So, I mean, this means that they'll have to go for more cheaty stuff,
00:58:20right? Elon is literally autistic. He announced it. Yeah, but I don't know what that means anymore.
00:58:29I'm not good at reading social cues. Well, that used to be called eccentric.
00:58:37All right. Now, I don't have anyone in my life who believes in the COVID BS except work acquaintances,
00:58:44right? But did they at some point in the past, right? All right.
00:58:58A diagnosis could be a roadblock to make an excuse that I can never adapt to the world. Oh,
00:59:03this is the guy with the kid. Well, again, I mean, is there something that you can do,
00:59:09some intervention that could occur? Might be worthwhile. All right.
00:59:26I still work with people who wear masks at work, yeah.
00:59:33Being autistic just means you don't have a hive mind. Yeah, and it's denormalizing integrity
00:59:39and saying that integrity is a form of brain dysfunction. We don't want that, do we? We don't
00:59:43want that. I mean, people could say to me, well, Steph, you just missed all these social cures and
00:59:48wrecked your career, and you just, you know, it's like, I just told the truth. You're autistic,
00:59:53man. You don't understand the world. Just say stuff, even though people get mad.
00:59:58Liberalism is not a mental disease.
01:00:04No, it's not a mental disease. No, not a mental disorder. It's a corruption. It's mental. It's a
01:00:12moral issue. It's moral corruption. Everything's a disease. Everything dysfunctional is a disease.
01:00:19Alcoholism is a disease. It's like, no. By the way, I mean, I don't mean to nag overly,
01:00:24but I've had a grand total of 10 bucks for my hour of labor. Oh, my God, I'm an illegal.
01:00:30But if you could help out the show, I would really appreciate this.
01:00:33I'm not calling you cheap, but I'm not calling you the opposite of cheap either. Unless you've
01:00:36donated recently, in which case, enjoy the show, don't bother. But if you could help out the show,
01:00:41I'd really appreciate that. So I don't feel like I'm making the same money I made when I was 12.
01:00:46That would be excellent.
01:00:47So I don't feel like I'm making the same money I made when I was 12. That would be excellent.
01:00:53I mean, I think it's a quality show. I've struggled in here despite being sick,
01:00:58just to make philosophy work better for people. So if you could help out at freedom.com slash
01:01:03donate, you can donate, of course, on the Rumble app and the Locals app. I would appreciate that.
01:01:10And let's do another couple of questions.
01:01:18Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. To me, if it doesn't show up in a brain scan, I have doubts.
01:01:30I believe you actually are autistic. I've been watching you since your Elliott Roger vid
01:01:34in 2014. But I'm not autistic at all.
01:01:41I read social cues very well. Very well. If I was autistic and didn't understand human emotions or
01:01:47human motivations or human thoughts, how on earth would I have a lineup as long as the Trump rally
01:01:53for call-in shows? How could I like literally figure out people's dreams on the fly? I mean,
01:01:58come on, this would be ridiculous. That's really a pathetic statement to make.
01:02:03That's really a pathetic statement to make that I'm autistic.
01:02:09No, I know the cost of what it is that I'm doing. I just choose the truth over lying and conformity.
01:02:17But that's what I mean when people say, oh, I think you're autistic, man, because you're different.
01:02:20It's like, anyway. I'll donate on Freedomain. Thank you. Freedomain.com slash donate.
01:02:28I get that it does not help being honest in a world ruled by Satan, but that is why I rely on
01:02:32God to overcome the world. Well, I'm not going to argue with that. I really appreciate your time,
01:02:36Steph, particularly as you are sick. Yes, I'm autistic and that's why I have such a
01:02:43wonderful relationship with my wife and daughter. Yeah, absolutely.
01:02:50Oh my gosh.
01:02:58It doesn't mean that you can't understand people's thoughts.
01:03:02Okay, I'll bite. What does it mean? What does it mean? What does it mean? If it's not social
01:03:08awkwardness and inability to read cues and odd obsessions and like, what does that mean?
01:03:17Tell me, tell me what it means.
01:03:23My father took one shot of the non-vaccine,
01:03:26didn't get side effects and reluctantly changed his vote to the most libertarian party over the
01:03:30hysteria. There are Asperger's who have wonderful relationships with their spouses and children.
01:03:50Not quite sure I followed that. Now we're talking about Asperger's.
01:03:53So then I mean, I'm autistic. I have Asperger's. What does any of this mean?
01:03:58So you're going to have to give me a definition.
01:04:05Somebody says, I had a boss tell me I was autistic because I'm anxious with certain
01:04:08people and I'm good with computers. What a strong diagnostic. What a strange diagnostic
01:04:14criteria. Yeah, for sure. For sure. For sure.
01:04:18So autistic means I can have great relationships, deeply understand people's thoughts. I'm a great
01:04:31communicator and so on. So you're just going to have to tell me what it is. I'm still happy to
01:04:40get a definition. I'm still happy to get a definition.
01:04:49I'm my wife is a mental health professional, right? You know that, right?
01:05:02All right. Any other questions or comments? I don't think we're going to get.
01:05:07Yeah, just don't don't toss around this race with people. It's it's it's pretty unhealthy.
01:05:12It's pretty unhealthy. And I get that there are people who are autistic. I get that. And I
01:05:18I even know one or two people like this and you can really see it. You see it from the first time
01:05:22you chat with them. And I get that that's a real thing. But again, Elon Musk is autistic and he has
01:05:32done all those things. What? He has done all of those things. So he's analyzed people's dreams
01:05:42and he's had a quarter century marriage to a mental health professional.
01:05:45Yeah, I don't think so. Doesn't he have a like baby mamas?
01:05:53But no, I don't.
01:05:58New show title, I am not autistic.
01:06:04No, honestly, I view myself as utterly normal.
01:06:11I mean, the world's a little crazy. I view myself as utterly normal
01:06:14because I judge myself according to reason and evidence and honesty and integrity. So I
01:06:19view myself as utterly normal. As boringly, completely and totally normal. In other words,
01:06:26I'm just a life that shows up when you're not terrified of everything. That's all I view
01:06:32myself as. It's just this is what happens if you're not terrified of everything and you just
01:06:37tell the truth and take your lumps and who gives a shit, right? Oh no, they took some platforms. Oh
01:06:43no. Oh no, they took some income. Oh no. There's no better resource than a good conscience.
01:07:00Let's see here. There's this 60 year old man who rides a bike around my town. His IQ is probably
01:07:0660. Can't even drive a car. The girls at the diner claim he's autistic. Prophet Alex says,
01:07:12you are just proving it more and more. Okay, so you're just like a douchebag, right?
01:07:18Okay. Yeah, so I'm asking you for a definition and you are not providing one.
01:07:27So you are now to be completely ignored. I mean, I asked you for a definition, good faith,
01:07:34and that's really sad. That's really pathetic.
01:07:43Doo doo doo. Okay, somebody says.
01:07:49I'm just looking here. I have actual psych. Okay, I don't even know what that means. All right,
01:07:56any other last questions and comments? I'm not going to do a super long show today because
01:07:59energy is not peaking. The flu is. You see the world in a way that very few others do.
01:08:07What are you talking about? I see the world in a way that very few others do.
01:08:12Well, no, I see the world in the way that people would see it if they were honest and unafraid.
01:08:24I see the world in the way that everyone would see it if they were honest and unafraid. I'm just
01:08:32honest about the way that I see the world. Other people are dishonest. They all agree with me.
01:08:36I mean, who disagrees with the non-aggression principle? Who disagrees with universal morality?
01:08:44Who disagrees with IQ? I mean, everybody, if they're honest about it and look at the facts
01:08:49and the data, then they see things the way that they are. So I don't see the world a different
01:08:54way. I just see the world as it is, and other people will lie to themselves because they're
01:09:00frightened, right? I'm not hypersensitive to physical sensations at all, so that's another
01:09:10thing, right? All right, have yourselves a wonderful afternoon. Steph's mind works uniquely.
01:09:15No, I honestly don't think so. Steph's mind works uniquely, but I agree that he's only
01:09:20seeing things how they are. My mind does not work uniquely. My mind works the way that the
01:09:28mind is supposed to work. The mind is supposed to figure out reality, and if you say something is
01:09:33true, it's supposed to be true. Nobody's going to disagree with that, that if you say something is
01:09:37true, it really ought to be true. That is not unique. Everybody agrees with me. That's why
01:09:45they get so mad at me. Why do people get so mad at me and deplatform me? Because they can't disprove
01:09:50me, right? Deplatforming is the result of a failure to disprove, right? So with IQ stuff, I talked to
01:09:5917 of the world's renowned experts on IQ. I lined everything up. I got the facts. People on the left
01:10:05and the right who all accepted the IQ arguments. So this is one of the reasons I got banned,
01:10:11is people would say to me, well, I think the IQ stuff is false, and I'm like, hey, don't go and
01:10:15talk to these people. I talked to all of the world's scientists, renowned experts on IQ,
01:10:20and all of that. I even talked to Jordan Peterson about it, and nobody disagreed. These were all
01:10:25facts. So I got deplatformed because I couldn't be disproven. That's all. So it's not a unique
01:10:33mind. Everybody says my opinions are true, and I just check. I just check, that's all. I just check,
01:10:40which is what you're supposed to do. So it's not unique. It's not unique like some weird
01:10:46wrinkle in space-time or some sinister, magical genius thing. It's nothing like that. It's just,
01:10:52I don't want to lie. Thou shalt not bear false witness is very important to me. I was raised
01:10:59to tell the truth. Tell the truth and shame the devil. Tell the truth, though the skies fall,
01:11:04right? I was raised to be honest. Society told me, be honest.
01:11:10So that's the reality.
01:11:29Idea. That's great. Yeah, they don't censor lies. They censor the truth. I mean, if they were
01:11:36concerned about lies, people would have been censored for lying the world into war, or people
01:11:41would have been censored for creating the COVID hysteria. They don't care. They don't care.
01:11:52They don't care. Stuff like the Taylor Swift eggs thing, a neurotypical would never talk like that.
01:11:58Well, but the neurotypical is crazy. The neurotypical is false and manipulative, right?
01:12:03Right.
01:12:05So if you are in a world of superstition and you are a scientist, you are not typical,
01:12:12but that's called progress, right? Do you want to be the average? The average is falsehood,
01:12:19lying, manipulation, and getting injected with mystery juice because the government says it's
01:12:28totally safe. That's neurotypical, right? I mean, that's really sad. So yes, I am not.
01:12:35I don't know. I don't know what neurotypical exactly means, but yes, I think for myself.
01:12:42Neurotypical is to swallow propaganda and regurgitate it with aggression and violence
01:12:46and ostracism. So to be lied into turning against your own family, yeah, that's neurotypical,
01:12:55I suppose. So yes, I'm not. I'm not that, but that's like the people who are anti-communists
01:13:01in a communist country or skeptical of communists. Why are they autistic? It is
01:13:07not neurotypical. It's sad. It's sad.
01:13:18All right. Have yourself a beautiful afternoon. If you're listening to this later,
01:13:21freedomain.com slash donate. I really would appreciate your help and support. Love you guys
01:13:25to death. Thank you for a wonderful day and we will talk to you soon and have a great Sunday.
01:13:33Lots of love from up here. Bye.
