Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

00:00Now, of course, one of the most famous Bible verses, and you hear this, of course, a lot
00:05at weddings, is 1 Corinthians 13.
00:10This is from the New King James Version.
00:12The older one is more Shakespearean and talks about charity rather than love, which is interesting.
00:20But we will read this—yeah, let's read it first and then we'll go through it.
00:31Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become
00:38sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
00:44And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
00:48and though I have all faith so that I can remove mountains, but have not love, I am
00:55nothing.
00:58And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,
01:06but have not love, it profits me nothing.
01:15Love suffers long and is kind.
01:21Love does not envy.
01:24Love does not parade itself.
01:26It is not puffed up, does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks
01:33no evil, does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth, bears all things, believes
01:41all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
01:52Love never fails.
01:57But whether there are prophecies, they will fail.
02:01Whether there are tongues, they will cease.
02:05Whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.
02:10For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
02:16But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
02:28When I was a child, I spoke as a child.
02:32I understood as a child.
02:34I thought as a child.
02:37And when I became a man, I put away childish things.
02:45For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face.
02:52Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
03:03Now abide, face, hope, love, these three, but the greatest of these is love.
03:23It's a beautiful passage.
03:26It's a beautiful passage.
03:33Now love, of course, is one of these words that is manipulated a lot.
03:43So it starts when he says, Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but
03:47have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
03:53So those who are very eloquent, those who are sophists, but who do not have love, are
04:06discordant.
04:07And you've seen people like this who are very passionate speakers, but are kind of empty
04:11and manipulative and looking to seek often material gain or dominance over others.
04:19And when Corinthians speaks of love and the Bible speaks of love, certainly in this context
04:26it's very clear, love rejoices in the truth.
04:32This is love of the truth.
04:38So if you are incredibly eloquent, but you do not love the truth and virtue, love of
04:51virtue is the greatest good.
04:58And he says, Corinthians says, And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand
05:02all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith so that I could remove mountains,
05:08but have not love, I am nothing.
05:14So the pursuit of knowledge without the love of virtue is really, when stripped away, the
05:23pursuit of power.
05:25Sort of a typical example would be the pursuit of knowledge in the creation of weapons of
05:35war.
05:38Well, you understand all mysteries and all knowledge.
05:45You have a belief that you can achieve such deadly knowledge, but you're nothing because
05:51you do not love virtue.
05:58A cruel, cold-hearted person who studies the human heart in order to gain control over
06:07those with a deep conscience and high levels of empathy is understanding the mysteries
06:15of personality and gaining great knowledge over how the mind works, but he does so in
06:23order to gain power over other human beings.
06:26Politicians understand what motivates the lizard brain, what motivates the base heart
06:31of people, and they do that, of course, in order to gain power over people.
06:42We'll use people's sex drives and desire for status and beauty and so on in order to get
06:48them to buy useless crap that is thrown into landfills just as they are thrown into graves.
06:58The gift of prophecy is to see the future.
07:09But believing you can see the future or actually seeing the future without love is terrible
07:20because we see the future in order to change it for the better.
07:24I see the world and the future of the world is a barren, perhaps irradiated wasteland.
07:32Without solving the problem of child abuse, the world just gets worse and more powerful.
07:43The chaos in adult life that results from child abuse creates both a supply of and a
07:52demand for totalitarianism, just as children who don't listen and do dangerous or violent
08:08things often cause an adult to become aggressive and controlling, stop that, come here, sit
08:18down.
08:24Children playing with random fire in a flammable environment are both inviting and supplying
08:37control and totalitarianism.
08:43Adults always want to breed chaos and the best way to breed chaos is to abuse children.
08:50So knowing what the future is is not helpful if you don't have love.
09:00The semi-tyranny of the Covid era was to a large degree achieved through knowing how
09:09people were going to respond to particular emotional and sociological cues.
09:15So they knew the future if they propagandized enough, they knew that future, but they did
09:25not love the truth or humanity or virtue.
09:35And he says, and though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor and though I give my body
09:38to be burnt, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
09:45Well, if you give goods to feed the poor without any love or virtue, you will actually just
09:59create dependence.
10:00And this is the great danger, well not just a danger now, this is the Moynihan report
10:06of the 1960s that the welfare state, and this is of course Charles Murray's warning
10:09that the welfare state breeds dependency, and this is the violation of thou shalt not
10:24steal that is the foundation of what should be the foundation of Christian opposition
10:30to the welfare state.
10:31Jesus certainly did not say or mean sell your children on the economic altar of foreign
10:39banksters in order to buy votes in the here and now and we'll call it charity.
10:47So if you are giving things to people without love of virtue and truth and the people that
10:57you are giving the goods to, it is an empty gesture that creates dependence and aggression.
11:08And then verse four, love suffers long and is kind.
11:14Yes, that hits me in the feels.
11:18It is not easy at all to love the potential of humanity and to retain joy and optimism
11:40and enthusiasm in the face of endless exclusion, undermining, attacks, and cruelty.
11:51Love suffers long and is kind.
11:54Yes, yes, that is true and in this it is not referring to romantic marital sexual love.
12:10It is talking about the love of humanity because humanity is so often cruel and vindictive
12:22and petty and censorious and aligns itself with power and mocks and attacks those who
12:32try to save it from itself and to love the potential of humanity means to hold your nose
12:43often in the face of current humanity.
12:50Love suffers long and is kind.
12:53To retain kindness after 43 years in philosophy and philosophy has bestowed the greatest injuries
13:05and the greatest goods upon me, there's no question of that.
13:09It has given me the most wonderful marriage and a great relationship with family and friends
13:16and it is also summoned in the black hearts of malevolent people the greatest attacks and harm.
13:28So yes, love of virtue, love of truth suffers long and is kind.
13:32See the great, I mean this is really the great challenge when you do good in the world is
13:37to avoid the trap of becoming bitter and to drown in the endless acid waves of other people's
13:47hatred and calumny because that is the great temptation, you want to do good in the world,
13:53you love humanity's potential and you want to bring virtue and love and happiness to the world
13:59and you of course endlessly undermine, attack and threaten and then the great temptation is
14:07to fall into a hatred and bitterness which then of course destroys the perception of the value
14:16of virtue in the world.
14:18Oh yeah, oh that guy claims to be such a philosopher.
14:21Oh look how bitter he is, look how angry he is, look how malcontented, look how hostile,
14:26look how mean, right?
14:29To love the potential of humanity which is to love the essence of humanity.
14:35Humanity in its current state is propagandized and brutalized and mentally tortured and
14:40taught to hate and punished for love of truth.
14:48So to love the potential of humanity and to maintain that love even while humanity as a whole
14:56either strikes out against you or stands by, watches idly or occasionally claps,
15:03it is rough man, it's rough.
15:06And to maintain your optimism and your love for the truth and the potential of humanity
15:14is to escape the trap bitterness set by those who wish to discredit the pursuit of virtue.
15:18Oh look at this guy, look at Steph man, he got into philosophy, look what happened to the guy,
15:24alienated, bitter, whatever, right?
15:27That's where philosophy leads you, right?
15:29That's the trap to dodge and evade.
15:32Not the easiest thing in the known universe, the temptation to black pill and bitterness
15:36is not small, is not small.
15:40But to love what humanity could be
15:43is not the easiest musculature of willpower in the world.
15:54So yeah, love suffers long and is kind.
15:57It goes on, Corinthians goes on to say, love does not envy.
16:02Yes, envy is a great sin, one of the deadly sins.
16:07And I think I've done a show on the philosophy of envy at some point over the last 20 years.
16:17Envy is when you want to have what others have, but rather than working to achieve it,
16:27you hate and resent them.
16:30You hate and resent them.
16:33Envy is when someone has what you do not have, and you are tempted into the belief
16:41that they stole it from you, right?
16:43So if you envy a wealthy person, then
16:50wanting what someone else has that is a reasonable good, right?
16:54I mean, having some money is fine, you can do a lot of good with money and have security.
16:58So if you look at a wealthy person and
17:05you then build a bridge to cross the world into prosperity, then that envy is a positive thing.
17:12But if you don't feel like you can get there, or if you know everyone in your life will hate
17:20and resent you for getting there or trying to get there, you have to leave everyone behind.
17:25Then you're kind of trapped where you are, and you can't get to that which you want.
17:29Like if you have a bunch of fat friends and you envy a slender person's physique,
17:36then if you really work to try and achieve that physique,
17:41then a lot of people will say, oh, you're just falling prey into
17:46Western standards of beauty, or you hate yourself, you don't accept yourself for who you are,
17:52you're just falling prey to advertising, you're just doing it to get a man, or
17:56like whatever you'd say that people sort of harp on you and may reject you.
18:01Well, then you resent the better things that you could get in life, you resent those who
18:09have the better things you could get in life because you can't get free
18:12of the quicksand of your current environment.
18:17Envy is when you resent someone for having something better and wish to tear them down,
18:25that you don't use them as an inspiration to do better yourself.
18:31Yeah, love does not do that.
18:34Love does not parade itself.
18:38Right, that's virtue signaling.
18:41Oh, I love all the people on the other side of the world so, so much.
18:45That's parading, right?
18:46Love does not parade itself, is not puffed up, does not behave rudely, does not seek its own,
18:52and is not provoked.
18:56So love and virtue are not there to make you look good.
19:05Does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked.
19:11Yeah, so generally provocation arises from insecurity and vanity.
19:16And vanity is when you have a personal attribute that you substitute for the achievement of virtue.
19:32So if you say, well, I'm virtuous because I spend other people's money to help people on
19:38the other side of the world without actually inquiring whether I'm helping people, right?
19:43I support foreign aid that goes to the government of X, Y, Z country, said foreign aid is not yours,
19:51it is taken usually in debt from the unborn, and it goes to a government which often uses
19:57that charity to further oppress its own people.
20:00Well, I support food aid to this country, which just destroys the local farmers and
20:04gives the government more power over the citizens because they are now reliant upon
20:09the government for food, right?
20:11So when you have an attribute, it could be beauty, it could be, I don't know, musical
20:21ability, it could be popularity, charisma, sleeping with girls, or whatever you have
20:27that is a substitute for actual virtue, is a very thin-skinned and easy to provoke, brittle shell.
20:35Thinks no evil.
20:39So when you are tempted, as I am, as I think everyone is, by evil thoughts, desires for
20:48vengeance, or pettiness, and so on, it doesn't mean that you don't have those thoughts.
20:54It doesn't mean that you don't try and understand evildoers.
20:59But you do not indulge in evil plans.
21:05It does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth.
21:11So rejoicing in iniquity is, iniquity is unjust distributions, right?
21:18I mean, I'll sort of take a silly example, right?
21:21So, guys who are tall, right?
21:25Guys who are tall who think that they're better.
21:28That makes me better, right?
21:30Guys with great hair, maybe they think that's better.
21:33Or guys who have great skin, as opposed to just guys who, unfortunately, genetically,
21:40hormonally, or whatever, have acne, or whatever, particularly as teenagers.
21:46Guys with great speaking voices, as opposed to guys who sound bad.
21:52Guys who happen to be born into a wealthy family that gives them lots of opportunities,
21:56as opposed to guys who are not.
21:59Guys who remain slender as children, and thus often into adulthood,
22:05because their parents care about their diet and exercise, as opposed to
22:09kids in bad homes with only access to bad food,
22:13and no particular access to easy access to exercise, and so on.
22:17So does not rejoice in iniquity means does not take pride
22:21in accidental good fortune that produces positive attributes.
22:25This is an old comedian, oh, this is a comic writer, Dave Barry.
22:30Dave Barry was like, you know, you see these hair commercials,
22:33and, you know, obviously, they're lying to you, because the best way
22:38to have great hair is to be born with great hair.
22:41That's it, that's it, just, I'm not saying there's things, not things that you can do
22:47to change things, but you don't rejoice in iniquity,
22:51but rejoices in the truth, right?
22:55So there's a joke that teenagers have these days, like skill issue, right?
23:02So, if someone has lactose intolerance, right, the kids might say, skill issue.
23:10And that's funny, because, of course, lactose intolerance is not a skill issue,
23:13it's a biological issue, I assume a genetic issue.
23:16So, laughing and making a joke that something is a skill issue, when it's not, right?
23:22Some guy's short saying, skill issue, right?
23:24It's a joke, right?
23:26And it's sort of pointing out that in a reverse way that it's not skill, but all of that,
23:31like, some kid's born into a poor household, skill issue, right?
23:37So bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things,
23:42so bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
23:48So, all things here refers to morality.
23:55So, bears all things means you have to find a way
24:01to surf the injustice of the world to get you to a better destination, right?
24:07So, there's an old approach within Christianity,
24:13which says that you use the temptations of the devil to achieve greater virtue.
24:19If the devil tempts you with greed, become more ascetic.
24:22If the devil tempts you with lust, become more monogamous, right?
24:27So, bears all things means find a way to turn the hatred and hostility of the world as a whole,
24:34which really came out under COVID, of course, to take the hatred and hostility of the world as a
24:40whole and turn it into a greater pursuit of virtue.
24:46Bears all things, believes all things, all things virtuous, hopes all things.
24:53Now, of course, I just did a speech, like, I don't do hope in my life, right?
24:58I don't do hope in my life, but I certainly have hope for the future of humanity.
25:03Endures all things, yes.
25:06Love never fails.
25:10But where there are prophecies, this is whether,
25:12but it basically means where there are prophecies, they will fail.
25:16Because not all prophecies come true.
25:20Where there are tongues, they will cease.
25:23Whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.
25:26So, if love is virtue, virtue is universal and eternal.
25:30If love is of the truth, as Corinthians says, then truth is universal and eternal.
25:36Guesses about the future fail.
25:39People die.
25:42Knowledge vanishes away in terms of the individual human brain turning to dust.
25:47And what people know, quote, know to be true often turns out to be false.
25:53For we know in part and we prophesy in part.
25:55Right?
25:57So, all human knowledge is incomplete except for universal objective truths and virtues.
26:05For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when that which is perfect has come,
26:10then that which is in part will be done away.
26:14So, UPB is a perfect proof of universal morality, and that which is in part will be done away.
26:25So, when I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child.
26:39So, why is this in Corinthians?
26:48What children generally lack are universals.
26:52And so much of what we teach children is to train them in universals, in abstractions,
26:58in the truth.
27:02So, children will grab the toy of another child.
27:07And what would we say to that child?
27:08We will say, well, how would you like it if someone grabbed that toy from you?
27:13So, we're teaching them to enter the mind and consciousness of another,
27:16to do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and to learn some kindness.
27:22Right?
27:22So, brothers don't want to share.
27:25Like, if one has candy that could be shared, right?
27:28And doesn't want to share, wants to keep all the candy for himself, he said, well,
27:31if your brother had candy, wouldn't you want him to share with you?
27:33Well, yeah, right?
27:39So, we are teaching them universals.
27:43We are teaching them mathematics.
27:45We are teaching them moral ideals.
27:48We are teaching them words that are universal, right?
27:53Everything that we call a tree is a tree.
28:01So, when you're a child, you are born local, immediate, selfish.
28:09And selfish, of course, is a moral judgment, when it's not.
28:12I mean, it's not a moral judgment.
28:14It's just that children focus on the self and their own pleasure.
28:21And I remember when I was feeding my daughter when she was a baby,
28:26she, at one point, grabbed the food and put it in my mouth.
28:28So, that's, oh, I like eating.
28:30I'm sure my father will, too.
28:31So, that's sort of teaching that empathy, right?
28:37So, when you are a child, you love your own pleasures.
28:42And you want to consume.
28:46At the expense of others, it doesn't really matter.
28:48You focus on your own pleasures, on the greed of the body,
28:52on the greed of acquisitiveness, on the greed of possessions,
28:54on the greed of food.
28:56You focus on the greed of your own body.
28:58I have absolutely zero issue with that.
29:00Nothing, no issue with that.
29:01I mean, that is actually very helpful.
29:03If the baby was selfless, if the baby thought of the sleep of the mother,
29:08rather than of the needs of his or her own body,
29:11the baby would get ill or malnourished or die.
29:19So, the baby being selfish serves the needs of the mother,
29:23which is to keep the baby alive.
29:24So, it's not selfish in that way.
29:28Not that a baby can be selfish.
29:30I'm just sort of analyzing that.
29:33The lack of consideration for others as a baby
29:36is actually the greatest consideration for others.
29:41So, after talking about love as the truth and of virtue,
29:48because love thinks no evil,
29:50therefore, love must be thinking on virtue and rejoices in the truth.
29:54So, love is virtue and truth,
29:58because truth, uncombined with virtue, is a seeking of power.
30:04So, like, if you understand human nature and you love virtue,
30:10then you will strive your best to grow virtue in the hearts and minds of others.
30:17Certainly has been my goal these many decades.
30:21But if you study human nature without virtue,
30:24then you gain power over people, and that's your goal as a whole.
30:28So, it says,
30:34when you focus on your own mortal, imperfect, selfish beliefs,
30:45that's all going to vanish.
30:47For we know in part, and we prophesy in part,
30:50but when we focus on our own mortal, imperfect, selfish beliefs,
30:55we know in part, and we prophesy in part,
30:57but when that which is perfect has come,
30:59then that which is in part will be done away.
31:03Right?
31:05So, when that which is perfect has come,
31:07then that which is in part will be done away.
31:09So, UPB as opposed to virtue signaling.
31:15Or, if coercion is the wrong way to achieve,
31:21if the initiation of force is the wrong way to achieve our goals in society,
31:24then the law which initiates the use of force,
31:26for the most part, must also be open to moral question.
31:30But then, when that which is perfect has come,
31:32then that which is in part will be done away.
31:34And so, the in part is childish.
31:39It's immature.
31:40Now, it's not immature for children.
31:42Right?
31:43When I was a child, I spoke as a child.
31:44I understood as a child.
31:45That's the in part.
31:46That's the fragment.
31:47That's the bits.
31:48That's the manipulation.
31:49And children are highly manipulative.
31:52In order to gain resources,
31:53in order to survive,
31:54in order to grow into adulthood,
31:55where they can get the perfect,
31:58the universal,
31:59the true,
32:00the virtuous.
32:02But when that which is perfect has come,
32:04then that which is in part will be done away.
32:06Example, when I was a child,
32:07I spoke as a child.
32:08I understood as a child.
32:09I thought as a child.
32:10But when I became a man,
32:11I put away childish things.
32:13For as a child, we see in a mirror dimly.
32:21But then, as an adult, face to face.
32:28So you see yourself objectively.
32:30A mirror is when you see yourself objectively.
32:32And, of course, it's very interesting to me.
32:34I've thought of this from time to time over the years.
32:36It's very interesting to me, of course,
32:37that for most of human history,
32:41people could really not see themselves.
32:44I mean, you might see yourself in an oil painting,
32:46if you were very wealthy.
32:47You might see yourself in a stream,
32:49or a river, or a pond, I suppose.
32:53But mirrors were not very common for most of people
32:58throughout almost all of history.
33:02But now we see ourselves all the time.
33:04It's been hours.
33:05I can see myself in the video.
33:09It's the videos that I make.
33:12For now, we see in a mirror dimly.
33:16Now being not current, but now is childhood,
33:20then is adulthood.
33:22For now, we see in a mirror dimly.
33:24You can't see yourself objectively.
33:26You can't...
33:27Try to develop a third eye, observing yourself.
33:30Because you cannot.
33:31You cannot achieve virtue
33:33without evaluating yourself objectively.
33:35Right?
33:36I was talking about this with someone the other day,
33:38about how many people do you know in the world
33:41who have an objective moral standard
33:44they compare their actions to,
33:47and constantly strive to close that gap.
33:55So as a child, you can barely see yourself objectively,
33:58because your focus is on your internal wants and preferences and pleasures.
34:01I want candy, right?
34:03See in a mirror dimly, but then face to face.
34:05So then you have a way of looking at yourself objectively,
34:08which is your really only chance to achieve morality,
34:11is to look at yourself objectively and say,
34:14How am I doing relative to the values that I hold?
34:23As a child, you cannot see yourself objectively.
34:26As an adult, you can,
34:28and therefore you have judgment.
34:30You can evaluate yourself.
34:31You can...
34:32What's called a gap analysis, right?
34:34Which is you can analyze your ideal virtues and values,
34:40and you can...
34:42But you can hold your ideal virtues and values,
34:44and you can analyze how far you are away from closing them.
34:50So for me, in my late 20s, early 30s,
34:55I went through one of these paroxysms,
34:57where I had these ideal virtues and values.
35:01I was pursuing them in my personal life,
35:03but I was not...
35:05They were not manifest in my social or family of origin life.
35:10So I had to see that, and that was hard,
35:13to close that gap,
35:15which gave me the life that I have now.
35:24For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face.
35:27Now I know in part, as a child I know in part,
35:30but as an adult I shall know,
35:33just as I also am known.
35:41We always think of how we regard virtue,
35:43but we don't as often think how virtue regards us.
35:48And now, abide faith, hope, love.
35:50These three.
35:51But the greatest of these is love.
35:53Love of truth and virtue.
35:56You can't love virtue without loving truth,
35:59but you can certainly love truth without loving virtue.
36:06Faith, hope, love.
36:10And without love,
36:13we have nothing.
36:16The Note of Thinks No Evil is Keeps No Accounts of Evil.
36:24The note of thinks no evil is keeps no accounts of evil.
36:31And certainly you do have to ignore the slings and arrows
36:35of outrageous attacks.
36:38Because if you focus on how unjustly you're treated,
36:41then the seeds of bitterness grow,
36:43and the pursuit of virtue is discredited.
36:46Because I do get this question a lot on live streams
36:49and also in my inbox, which is,
36:51how do you keep your optimism and your happiness
36:55in the face of the world that is?
36:59So, I never answered it, so,
37:02I hope that this helps.
37:03I really do appreciate your support of what I do,
