00:00:00Good evening, good evening. Everything going good.
00:00:13Everything live. Everything is good. Everything is live.
00:00:17Good evening, good evening. Welcome to your Wednesday Night Live.
00:00:21It is not too late. You just type your question in. It's probably the best way
00:00:27to do it from here.
00:00:30And thank you for dropping by, freedomain.com to help out the show. Very much appreciated.
00:00:38And we are ready to take your questions and comments and issues, problems. Of course,
00:00:49I think it's fair to say that it's been quite an exciting couple of days on the international markets,
00:00:56to put it mildly. So I'm happy to talk about that.
00:01:03Happy to talk about whatever is on your mind, my friends.
00:01:08And if you've got economics questions, any other kinds of questions, personal questions,
00:01:17life questions, philosophical questions, of course, happy to help and chat and do what I
00:01:27can to bring philosophy to bear on the challenges of your life, of your life. All right.
00:01:35So just while we're waiting for the questions to come in, according to Epoch Health, 75%
00:01:47of U.S. scientists in NaturePoll consider leaving the country. They didn't want to leave, but now
00:01:53they just might have no choice. From top universities to government labs, researchers are preparing to
00:01:58pack up. Behind the scenes, something bigger is driving the exodus, and one man's name keeps coming
00:02:03up. Is this the end of an era or the start of something better? So whose name do you think is
00:02:14coming up? Just out of curiosity. A majority of U.S.-based scientists who responded to a new poll by
00:02:22nature said they are considering leaving the country in response to sweeping changes in federal research
00:02:28policy and funding under President Donald Trump's administration. Of roughly 1,650 readers who
00:02:40completed the poll, which was released on March 27th, more than 1,200 individuals, 75%, said they were
00:02:47weighing a move abroad. The responses collected in early March through Nature's website, social media,
00:02:55and newsletter, reflected growing unease across the scientific community following major changes to
00:02:59U.S. science funding, staffing, and research priorities, according to the survey results.
00:03:04The trend was most pronounced among early career researchers. Among 690 postdoctoral researchers
00:03:11who responded, 548 said they were considering leaving. Among PhD students, 255 out of 340 gave the same
00:03:18response. Europe and Canada were cited as the most likely destinations if they were to leave.
00:03:23The country. Interesting. The survey results come amid ongoing funding cuts and reorganization at
00:03:34federal science agencies. The Trump administration has eliminated or suspended large segments of
00:03:39federally funded research under a cost-cutting initiative led by, of course, Elon Musk and Doge.
00:03:45Thousands of federal scientists have been fired or temporarily reinstated by court orders and more layoffs
00:03:51are anticipated. Another respondent, a physician scientist at a major U.S. university, said when his
00:04:01NIH grant was canceled, he reached out to colleagues in Canada. He and his wife, also a scientist, are now
00:04:07seeking positions there. Institutions abroad appear to be responding to the wave of dislocation. The
00:04:17physician scientists at universities in other countries are seeing the disruption in the U.S.
00:04:21as a, quote, once-in-a-generation opportunity, end quote, to attract American talent.
00:04:27Hmm. Interesting. Interesting, interesting, interesting, interesting.
00:04:32I gotta tell ya, I gotta tell ya, I gotta tell ya, I don't think people are gonna view this as much
00:04:46of a loss. I really don't. I really don't think people are gonna view this as much of a loss.
00:04:54I think that science has almost completely nuked its credibility.
00:05:03I think science has almost completely nuked its credibility.
00:05:10I think the
00:05:13craven nature of the scientists, the conformity, the, I think, fairly brutal enforcement of general
00:05:22standards by regulatory bodies and so on, I think the politicization of science, I think the
00:05:28lockstep global warming stuff, I think a lot of that, and of course, COVID as a whole,
00:05:35I think that's really messed up people a lot in terms of their respect for science as a whole.
00:05:40And of course, I talked about this many years ago with researchers.
00:05:53The replication crisis is a very big deal.
00:05:57Right? The replication crisis is a very big deal.
00:05:59The replication crisis, of course, is that
00:06:02so much of, I mean, this is true in psychology, this is true in other areas as well, but so much
00:06:12of what was considered gospel has been unable to be reproduced.
00:06:18And
00:06:18the sort of magic thing
00:06:20that was happening,
00:06:22which was, well, we need our scientists,
00:06:24we have to have our scientists, because without the scientists,
00:06:26we won't have the facts, we won't have the progress, we won't have the engineering,
00:06:28we won't have all of this sort of stuff.
00:06:31I don't think so.
00:06:33I don't think people are buying that
00:06:34in particular anymore at all, at all.
00:06:39I don't think people are buying that at all.
00:06:42I think all of that has fallen by the wayside.
00:06:47And so I just don't think there'll be the same
00:06:50kind of panic.
00:06:52I just don't think there'll be the same kind of panic at all
00:06:56when it comes to this stuff.
00:06:59Oh, no, we're losing to, you know, in a sense, I think it's like, well,
00:07:02and I think, I think what's coming, what's going to come out of the funding stuff,
00:07:05I mean, what has come out of the funding stuff, to some degree,
00:07:08I think is going to get even worse, going, going from forward,
00:07:11where people are just like, I've been funding what?
00:07:13My hard-earned taxes are going to what?
00:07:15That kind of stuff.
00:07:18So.
00:07:21And what is it that was us reading today?
00:07:23We've been in America, they went a hundred years ago,
00:07:25they were teaching Latin and Greek
00:07:26in grade school, now they're teaching remedial math at university.
00:07:31It's rough, man.
00:07:38All right.
00:07:39According to the New Yorker, in Japan, an AI system designed to distinguish croissants
00:07:48from bear claws has turned out to be capable of identifying cancer cells.
00:07:51That's interesting.
00:07:56Why not?
00:07:57Why not?
00:08:07I was talking, before Trump got in, I was talking about how, you know,
00:08:12there was a lot of smoke and mirrors in Trump's, in the pre-Trump and American economy as a whole.
00:08:21It's all inflated and all of that.
00:08:24So, financial analyst Ed Dowd says the stock market Trump walked into was a fraudulent bubble
00:08:30propped up by just seven stocks, inflated housing prices, and phony GDP numbers.
00:08:34I think that's interesting.
00:08:41Now, according to the redheaded libertarian, I think this is coming off pearly things.
00:08:48I mean, I find this hard to believe.
00:08:52I find this hard to believe.
00:08:5310% of all American women between the ages of 18 and 24 do OnlyFans.
00:09:06Could that be?
00:09:07That seems, I mean, maybe I'm just kind of old-fashioned.
00:09:10That seems kind of hard to swallow.
00:09:1210% of all American women between 18 and 24 do OnlyFans.
00:09:20Wild.
00:09:24Well, hopefully AI will wipe a lot of that stuff out going forward.
00:09:40Yeah, it seems, it seems high.
00:09:41And that's just OnlyFans.
00:09:43That could be other things as well, right?
00:09:46Other platforms.
00:09:53All right.
00:10:08Green Lives Matter was saying, that's kind of a little chilling.
00:10:12The last time Trump initiated a trade war against China, COVID-19 was purposefully released from a lab in Wuhan.
00:10:18This is according to UltraFrog17 on X, derailing his tariff plan and costing him the election.
00:10:25Now Trump is placing 104% tariffs on China in a position of extreme power.
00:10:29And Fauci is simultaneously telling the media that a new COVID virus might be coming.
00:10:37Coincidence.
00:10:37The timeline.
00:10:38August 2019.
00:10:40Trump claims he is the chosen one called to take on China on trade.
00:10:44He's winning handily.
00:10:45December 2019.
00:10:47Again, this is, I don't know about this purposefully or not, but this is what the, the, the, the
00:10:52ex-account claims.
00:10:54China purposefully released COVID-19 from the Wuhan lab.
00:10:57Anthony Fauci was directly connected to the Wuhan lab.
00:10:59The mainstream media uses every trick in the book to stop Donald Trump at nearly every turn.
00:11:03They made Fauci seem like a saint when he was, anyway, so it's pretty, pretty wild.
00:11:06You never know what the blowback's going to be, right?
00:11:18All right.
00:11:19Lisa Breton wrote a couple of days ago, men are four times more likely to die by suicide.
00:11:36Researchers analyzed the language men used who have attempted suicide, and they found
00:11:40that useless was the most frequent word they said to describe themselves.
00:11:44What can we do to make men feel valued and needed in our modern times?
00:11:50That is a very good question, and I hope that you do not go through phases of feeling useless
00:11:55or immaterial to the world.
00:11:57I promise you, you're not.
00:11:59So, I hope that you will, if you know somebody, particularly man, it can happen to women, of
00:12:05course, but if you know someone, particularly man, who's struggling with issues of meaning
00:12:09and so on, I hope that you can reach out and help.
00:12:15Somebody wrote, this is some time ago, I heard someone say they knew a guy named Hunter in
00:12:20college, but he was vegan, so they all called him Gatherer, and I think that's hilarious.
00:12:26It's kind of true.
00:12:33All right.
00:12:39I think this is true.
00:12:50This is from Private Eye, Russ.
00:12:51This is an interesting account on X.
00:12:53He wrote, in the state of Florida, if a married woman is impregnated by an individual other
00:12:58than her husband, the husband is financially responsible for the child unless the cheating
00:13:03partner decides to claim responsibility.
00:13:06Isn't that wild?
00:13:07Oh, somebody says, this ruling was overturned in the last few years.
00:13:14If paternity is disproven, then financial responsibility is negated regardless of marital
00:13:19status.
00:13:20Is that true?
00:13:24Could be.
00:13:24These are in the mazes of the law, but, you know, true or not, it's a pretty chilling approach,
00:13:29right?
00:13:29All right, so let's see.
00:13:43Any questions and comments?
00:13:45Good morning from Melbourne.
00:13:46Good morning.
00:13:47Good morning.
00:13:47This is not my medical advice, but something that's interesting that I read on X from Chris
00:14:04Butcher.
00:14:06He wrote, excess weight isn't just about how you look.
00:14:09It's about what's happening inside.
00:14:11Long before symptoms show up, it's quietly damaging nearly every system in your body.
00:14:15Here's what that extra weight is really doing to you.
00:14:20Joint damage.
00:14:21Every extra pound adds pressure to your joints, especially your knees and hips, he writes.
00:14:25For each pound of excess weight, your knees experience an additional force of roughly four pounds of pressure.
00:14:29Results pain, inflammation, and early arthritis.
00:14:33He also wrote about metabolic dysfunction.
00:14:36Excess fat, especially around the belly, disrupts insulin sensitivity.
00:14:39This leads to blood sugar swing slash insulin resistance, craving slash fatigue, type 2 diabetes.
00:14:46Visceral fat around the organs is the real danger.
00:14:49It's metabolically active and inflammatory.
00:14:52Hormonal disruption.
00:14:54Body fat isn't just stored energy.
00:14:55It's hormonally active.
00:14:56Too much of it can tank testosterone, disrupt estrogen balance, increase cortisol slash impact thyroid function.
00:15:02Your body runs on hormones.
00:15:04When they're off, everything feels harder.
00:15:05Sleep struggles, of course, sleep, apnea, and so on.
00:15:09Interrupted sleep wrecks recovery, hormone production, brain function, and mood cravings.
00:15:13Less sleep equals more fat gain equals worse sleep.
00:15:17Cardiovascular strain.
00:15:18Your heart has to work harder to pump blood through more tissue.
00:15:21This raises your risk for high blood pressure, plaque buildup, heart attacks, and stroke.
00:15:25Your heart wasn't built to carry chronic overload forever.
00:15:28Mental health and mood.
00:15:30Inflammation.
00:15:31Hormone imbalances.
00:15:31Poor sleep and social stigma all impact mood.
00:15:33Excess weight is linked with higher rates of depression, anxiety, brain fog, low motivation.
00:15:40Mobility and independence.
00:15:42Over time, the weight wears down your joints, limits your movement, and drains your energy.
00:15:46What starts as a few extra pounds can end in needing assistance to get off the floor, avoiding stairs, and losing your freedom.
00:15:54So, again, it's not health advice for me.
00:15:57I can't verify any of this stuff objectively.
00:15:59I'm not a doctor, but I thought it was a very interesting set of comments.
00:16:01So, whatever you can do to keep your weight at a healthy level is probably well worth doing.
00:16:16All right.
00:16:16Let's get back to your questions and comments.
00:16:18Yeah, parental rights are really under a lot of assault these days, right?
00:16:30A lot of assault.
00:16:31I do thank everyone, of course, for giving me the recommendations for anime, which I think will be interesting to dig into, and I appreciate that.
00:16:55All right.
00:17:18Yeah, yeah.
00:17:19My daughter did go and see the Minecraft movie with a friend, and she says it heartily.
00:17:27She was very concerned that they were going to murder the franchise that she was very emotionally attached to in her childhood, but she said it's fantastic.
00:17:37It was really, really good.
00:17:39Thank you, Anthony.
00:17:40Yeah, she said it was a fantastic movie, and I think she's going to put it out as a hearty recommendation.
00:17:44I have not seen it, though I will try and catch it at some point soon.
00:17:50All right.
00:17:51Questions.
00:17:52Welcome.
00:17:59Let's see.
00:18:00I do have some more questions.
00:18:01I do believe.
00:18:02Somebody wrote, what personal criteria do you have to, quote, defu, which is to separate from a family member?
00:18:19He said, I have a brother who is a recurring hard drug, opiates, cocaine, and who knows what else, addict.
00:18:25It's been two decades after his last relapse.
00:18:28I've lost hope on his recovery.
00:18:30He burdens our family, but only emotionally.
00:18:33After the first five years, I stopped any and all financial support.
00:18:36At what point is enough enough?
00:18:38I'd feel guilty to cut him out completely.
00:18:40But it no longer seems beneficial for him anyway.
00:18:43It's never been beneficial for me or my family.
00:18:46I'm so sorry to hear that.
00:18:47That is tough, man.
00:18:48I mean, drug use really does empty people out, hollow them out, and turn them into these just sort of Pac-Man consuming resources from everyone around them.
00:18:56So I am really, really sorry about that.
00:19:06What personal criteria do you have?
00:19:08I mean, it's not exactly an algorithm.
00:19:14I'm not saying that you're saying that it is.
00:19:16It's not exactly an algorithm like you put something in like a bubble chat or a flow chat, and then something sort of pops out that gives you a sort of good answer.
00:19:23I would say that it's sort of a gut sense of plus and minus.
00:19:35I mean, I think all relationships as a whole should go through this gut sense of plus and minus.
00:19:40But if there is withdrawals, you know, you can sort of think of deposits and withdrawals in relationships.
00:19:50It's actually not a bad way to look at it as a whole.
00:19:54But if you look at sort of deposits and withdrawals in relationships, then you can look and say, when was the last time I got a deposit?
00:20:10When was the last time that somebody provided something of surprise and positivity and welcomeness and helpfulness and all of that?
00:20:19And to have a self is to be a trader.
00:20:29To have an identity, to have a personality, to be independent is to be a trader.
00:20:35And if you're not trading, you're either exploiting or being exploited.
00:20:38Now, in having a drug addict around, for sure, you're not, if you're not the drug addict, if you're in a relationship, I'll quote relationship, with a drug addict.
00:20:46And you're not really, you're not in a relationship with the addict, you're only in a relationship with their drug need.
00:20:51You're only in a relationship with the drugs, really.
00:20:55But if it has been a long time since there has been a deposit, you need to be sort of very aware of the withdrawals that are coming out of your environment.
00:21:10And those withdrawals, when they start to become excessive, and, you know, there's a little bit of back and forth, of course, in relationships as a whole, sometimes a little more, a little less.
00:21:24But there needs to be a balance of trade, so to speak.
00:21:34And if it is one-sided, it's not a relationship anymore.
00:21:38It's just conformity and compliance and so on.
00:21:44All right.
00:21:45Thank you for the anime recommendations.
00:21:51I appreciate that.
00:22:00All right.
00:22:04Let's see here.
00:22:05Let me just, I want to make sure I haven't read these before.
00:22:09I read these before?
00:22:10Yeah, I think I read that one before.
00:22:12Now, around sibling conflict, I do get a lot of questions from parents around sibling conflict.
00:22:17What I would sort of strongly say with regards to sibling conflict is that a lot of sibling conflict emerges out of a sense of scarcity.
00:22:33If you, if you, if you, if you as parents are communicating to your children that they are, that the family is in a situation of scarcity, and this doesn't fundamentally mean, of course, finance scarcity or scarcity of space.
00:22:54You don't have to be living in a hovel or anything like that, but if there is a stress and tension and conflict, and thank you, Mobius, there's a situation, a sense of scarcity, then sibling conflicts will escalate.
00:23:10So, whatever you can do to give your children a sense of abundance and plenty and so on, whatever you can do with regards to that is really, really important to do.
00:23:22Really important to do.
00:23:23Thank you for everything you do, Stefan.
00:23:27Do you feel that there's any hope for Australia socially and economically?
00:23:37I mean, how much money would you put on a turnaround, whatever kind of turnaround you're thinking of?
00:23:41I think that one of the things that I wanted to do in my sort of tour of Australia, and obviously the hoped-for-but-did-not-materialized tour of New Zealand,
00:23:56was to gauge, how should I put this, I wanted to gauge people's general receptivity towards the truth.
00:24:14Right, which is why the stuff that he talked about, the Aboriginal issues and so on, was all very well-sourced from mainstream academics,
00:24:21in the same way that, you know, the IQ stuff that he talked about was well-sourced from mainstream intelligence researchers.
00:24:27I mean, 17 big major researchers that I interviewed.
00:24:37And this is sort of true in your relationships as a whole, which is,
00:24:47how do people handle the truth?
00:24:51I mean, how do people handle the truth?
00:24:54They say, well, it's not true and so on, but, you know, if you have,
00:24:57and certainly if it's your experience, your thoughts, your feelings,
00:24:59then assuming you're not lying, then that's the truth.
00:25:01How do they handle that truth?
00:25:02How do they handle the truth as a whole?
00:25:07Now, a society that is being engineered to self-destruction
00:25:11is inoculated to react against the truth, to fight against the truth,
00:25:16to get angry, to oppose, to attack, to become hostile and enraged towards the truth.
00:25:23And so, one of the things that I wanted to do in those tours was to try and figure out
00:25:28what was society's relationship to the truth.
00:25:33Do you shoot the messenger?
00:25:35Do you get mad?
00:25:36Do you, you know, whatever, right?
00:25:37What are people's responses to that?
00:25:43Well, I certainly got my answer on that tour.
00:25:47And, of course, there were some people who were very interested in the truth,
00:25:49and there were some people we had.
00:25:50I remember with Lauren Southern having these great Q&As.
00:25:54I think you can probably still find them online somewhere.
00:25:57Having these great Q&As after the speeches.
00:26:01But, people as a whole, certainly in the mainstream and the academics and so on,
00:26:07the media, were not at all friendly to the truth or even curious about it.
00:26:12If you can't tell the truth, you can't fix anything.
00:26:15So, that's why the truth is so often censored,
00:26:17when a society is targeted as a whole.
00:26:21All right.
00:26:23Somebody says,
00:26:24My in-laws, mostly mother-in-law,
00:26:27never approved of the life choices my wife and I made in regards to our kids.
00:26:32Now, my wife and I get divorced.
00:26:35Oh, sorry about that.
00:26:37And I have the feeling, part of the reason
00:26:39is that my in-laws have been working on her to get her back.
00:26:43Now, they have put the kids into a private school without my approval.
00:26:48What are your thoughts on when the influence of parents on their adult kids is too much?
00:26:52I think it undermined our marriage and gave my wife a way out,
00:26:55rather than to work on herself.
00:26:57I'm sorry to hear about that.
00:27:00And certainly losing some, you know, authority, control, and that over your own kids is very tough.
00:27:08It's very tough.
00:27:16I mean, you know, honorable parents, honorable in-laws,
00:27:19does work to make sure that the marriage is as strong as humanly possible,
00:27:25in particular for the sake of the grandchildren, right?
00:27:31So, that should be the central focus, right?
00:27:33All right.
00:27:48Somebody says,
00:27:49In the 90s, as a cynical teen, I found most people
00:27:51had a very negative feeling towards being made to do actual thinking,
00:27:55no doubt, part of the plan.
00:27:57Hmm.
00:27:58Hmm.
00:27:58Hmm.
00:28:02Hmm.
00:28:04Yeah.
00:28:07Yeah.
00:28:07I was talking to someone today,
00:28:09just sort of outside the show,
00:28:11who was asking that sort of,
00:28:13why is it that,
00:28:14why is it that we focus so much on conformity?
00:28:20Why is it that we want to please the group,
00:28:23we want to please people as a whole?
00:28:24Well, and I said,
00:28:26well, look,
00:28:26we're only,
00:28:28we're foundationally designed to get to sexual maturity and reproduce.
00:28:33That's sort of,
00:28:34that's what's been whittled forward over the millennia,
00:28:38over the,
00:28:39well,
00:28:40hundreds of millions,
00:28:41billions of years for life.
00:28:42So,
00:28:43whatever gets us to adulthood
00:28:44and gets us to reproduce is the good,
00:28:46right?
00:28:49So,
00:28:49if
00:28:56breaking out of conformity threatens that,
00:29:01which it often will,
00:29:02right?
00:29:02If you grew up in some tribe where X,
00:29:04Y,
00:29:05Z is believed,
00:29:05and if you don't believe it,
00:29:06you're less likely to reproduce.
00:29:08You could be marked as a heretic by the witch doctors.
00:29:10You could be cast out by the political leaders
00:29:12or the tribal leaders.
00:29:13The women just might not reproduce with you
00:29:17or raise your kids
00:29:18because you're sort of outside the,
00:29:20the norm,
00:29:21the norms of society.
00:29:26Oh,
00:29:27but she's been banned in the UK.
00:29:28Yeah,
00:29:28they're really going hard on free speech,
00:29:30right?
00:29:31So,
00:29:32we are designed to reproduce.
00:29:38And
00:29:39so conformity
00:29:42raises a lot of times,
00:29:44often will raise the odds of being able to reproduce,
00:29:46right?
00:29:47So,
00:29:48that's a plus.
00:29:49On the minus side,
00:29:51if all we do is conform,
00:29:52then we don't have enough progress
00:29:54in our societies.
00:29:56We stagnate,
00:29:57and then we're often taken over by other societies
00:29:59which allow more individualism,
00:30:01rationality,
00:30:02and
00:30:02progress,
00:30:05if that makes sense.
00:30:07Good evening,
00:30:08Douglas.
00:30:08Douglas,
00:30:08nice to have you by.
00:30:10Thank you for dropping by tonight.
00:30:14All right,
00:30:15so let's see here.
00:30:25Do,
00:30:25do,
00:30:25do,
00:30:26do,
00:30:26do,
00:30:27do,
00:30:27do,
00:30:27do,
00:30:28do.
00:30:31Yeah,
00:30:34it's funny how Trump said,
00:30:35it's a good time to buy,
00:30:36and then he pumped the entire market.
00:30:38So,
00:30:38I think there's a 90-day break on some of these tariffs,
00:30:41which makes sense,
00:30:42right?
00:30:42So,
00:30:43the tariffs are imposed,
00:30:45and
00:30:45the,
00:30:46the,
00:30:47people don't want to react to the tariffs,
00:30:49right?
00:30:50Other countries don't want to react to the tariffs,
00:30:51and make changes in policies,
00:30:53and then find out that the tariffs aren't happening,
00:30:56or
00:30:56he
00:30:57crumbles,
00:30:58or
00:30:59doesn't have the political will,
00:31:00or his party turns on him.
00:31:02So,
00:31:02people are going to wait,
00:31:03right?
00:31:03They're going to wait and see
00:31:03if this stuff is actually going to work or not,
00:31:07if the tariffs are actually going to happen.
00:31:13And,
00:31:13so,
00:31:15some people,
00:31:17of course,
00:31:18came to Trump and said,
00:31:19we want to work on tariffs.
00:31:20Other people,
00:31:20I think China and Canada retaliated.
00:31:22Other people are sort of waiting and seeing.
00:31:24So,
00:31:25he's going to give the best deals to those who come sooner,
00:31:27and he's going to put a pause on,
00:31:30so that people have a chance to negotiate their tariffs,
00:31:32rather than just react,
00:31:33right?
00:31:34To de-escalate.
00:31:35Makes perfect sense to me.
00:31:36All right.
00:31:56Let's get to your questions and comments.
00:31:58All right.
00:32:06My uncle and aunt,
00:32:12age 70,
00:32:13says Rachel,
00:32:13don't like AI,
00:32:15and they think it's not really could,
00:32:18they think
00:32:19it
00:32:21really could take over and replace humans.
00:32:23I think that you've got an extra knot in there.
00:32:26They said it doesn't follow Isaac Asimov's
00:32:27three rules of robotics.
00:32:28Why are some older people scared of AI?
00:32:36I mean,
00:32:40AI is responsive.
00:32:42I've got,
00:32:42you should send them my presentations on AI.
00:32:45You can go to
00:32:46fdrpodcast.com,
00:32:47do a search for AI,
00:32:49and
00:32:50send them my presentations.
00:32:52AI is reactive.
00:32:53It's basically just a word guesser.
00:32:54So,
00:32:55the idea that it's
00:32:56going to develop its own rational
00:32:57Skynet consciousness stuff
00:32:59is not a thing.
00:33:01So,
00:33:02you know,
00:33:02they're probably believing a bunch of hype
00:33:05that's coming out of
00:33:06the
00:33:07the marketers,
00:33:11right?
00:33:13All right.
00:33:15Rob Berville says,
00:33:20Steph,
00:33:21the way that YouTube banned you
00:33:22seems unjust.
00:33:24But did YouTube have any reasonable option
00:33:26but to ban you?
00:33:29If YouTube had not banned
00:33:31controversial figures like you,
00:33:32it likely could have been the end
00:33:33of the YouTube platform,
00:33:34as the politicians would start
00:33:36attacking the platform
00:33:37pretty hard.
00:33:39YouTube have a gun
00:33:40on their head.
00:33:41Do they comply to the government
00:33:41in the same way that we all
00:33:42comply and pay our taxes?
00:33:43Your thoughts,
00:33:44please.
00:33:44Yeah,
00:33:44it's a perfectly reasonable supposition
00:33:46that
00:33:47part of my bans were
00:33:48as a result of
00:33:49pressure from various
00:33:50government
00:33:51agencies
00:33:52or actors.
00:33:54So,
00:33:54in which case,
00:33:56I don't have any particular issue
00:33:58with what they did.
00:33:59And honestly,
00:33:59I don't,
00:34:00I don't look back
00:34:02and say,
00:34:03gee,
00:34:04I wish I was still on YouTube.
00:34:05I really don't.
00:34:06I really don't.
00:34:07All right.
00:34:08Somebody says,
00:34:09good evening,
00:34:09Steph.
00:34:10I started playing Minecraft
00:34:10last year,
00:34:11but I missed out
00:34:12on the era of your
00:34:12Let's Play videos
00:34:13with Izzy.
00:34:14Do you two still play?
00:34:15We don't.
00:34:16We don't.
00:34:18She's 16.
00:34:19She has other
00:34:20activities and so on,
00:34:22right?
00:34:22And thank you for the tip,
00:34:27Roberthal.
00:34:29Roberthal.
00:34:29Sorry.
00:34:29I appreciate that.
00:34:35All right.
00:34:41Somebody says,
00:34:41hey,
00:34:42Steph,
00:34:42just joining.
00:34:42My question is,
00:34:44what is your opinion
00:34:45on being in
00:34:46a relationship
00:34:47but always having,
00:34:48oops,
00:34:49always having the
00:34:50nagging feeling
00:34:51of should I stay?
00:34:52How should I go?
00:34:53It will be our
00:34:53two-year anniversary soon,
00:34:54no marriage or kids,
00:34:55both mid-twenties.
00:34:56She's a nice girl,
00:34:57given the sexual abuse
00:34:58she suffered as a young child
00:34:59by the hands of
00:35:00a living boyfriend
00:35:00of her mother.
00:35:01Sorry to hear that.
00:35:03Her family is a mess
00:35:03along the same lines.
00:35:05When I brought up
00:35:06these concerns
00:35:06and saw
00:35:07how that would translate
00:35:10into raising kids,
00:35:11she'd be careful
00:35:11to not let her parents
00:35:12be too involved.
00:35:13What is always striking
00:35:14to me about the situation
00:35:16was that her parents
00:35:17divorced,
00:35:19was that,
00:35:20was the,
00:35:21her parents' divorce
00:35:22didn't notice anything
00:35:23was wrong
00:35:23and it took her dad's
00:35:24new wife to raise questions.
00:35:26Her mother had custody.
00:35:27It goes deeper,
00:35:28but this is just
00:35:29broad strokes.
00:35:30I haven't been
00:35:31the best boyfriend.
00:35:32We've been on the rock
00:35:33twice already
00:35:33with me taking a break
00:35:34which lasted a day
00:35:35and then she caught me
00:35:37texting a girl,
00:35:37not sexually,
00:35:39but one who I had
00:35:39had a quick
00:35:40online relationship
00:35:41with,
00:35:42but it ended up
00:35:43not working
00:35:44because the conversation
00:35:45and interest were not there.
00:35:47Apologies for the ramble.
00:35:47Hmm.
00:35:55Well,
00:35:56might be time
00:35:58to have a sit,
00:35:58sit for this one.
00:36:03Um,
00:36:04so she is,
00:36:07has she gone to therapy
00:36:08for her sexual abuse?
00:36:10Is she an untreated
00:36:11victim of sexual abuse?
00:36:14If she is
00:36:21an untreated victim
00:36:23of sexual abuse,
00:36:24it seems to me
00:36:25quite unlikely
00:36:26that you will be able
00:36:28to have a positive
00:36:29and productive
00:36:29relationship
00:36:30as a whole.
00:36:32Sorry.
00:36:33I mean,
00:36:33that's
00:36:34a very,
00:36:35very big issue.
00:36:37She went to a few
00:36:38appointments.
00:36:39Yeah,
00:36:39I don't,
00:36:40I mean,
00:36:42I don't know the,
00:36:43and don't talk about it
00:36:44here,
00:36:44of course,
00:36:44so I don't know
00:36:45about the extent
00:36:46and depth
00:36:46of the sexual abuse
00:36:51she suffered,
00:36:51but I,
00:36:53um,
00:36:55I would,
00:36:59um,
00:37:00not assume
00:37:02that she's going
00:37:03to be able
00:37:03to just deal
00:37:03with this on her own.
00:37:06She,
00:37:06in my,
00:37:07obviously this is just
00:37:08my humble advice,
00:37:10right,
00:37:10but if I were
00:37:12in your shoes,
00:37:12I would tell her
00:37:13that,
00:37:14like,
00:37:14she must,
00:37:15she must,
00:37:15she must,
00:37:16she must go
00:37:17to talk to a specialist
00:37:18in dealing
00:37:19with sexual abuse.
00:37:23She suffers
00:37:24from anxiety,
00:37:25but I think it stems
00:37:26from her ability
00:37:26to not trust
00:37:27the people around her.
00:37:29Sure,
00:37:29but,
00:37:30um,
00:37:31given that she's
00:37:32in her mid-twenties,
00:37:33the issue is not
00:37:33that she doesn't
00:37:34trust the people
00:37:34around her,
00:37:35that's not the issue.
00:37:36The issue is that
00:37:36she doesn't trust
00:37:37her own judgment,
00:37:38right?
00:37:39It's not that we
00:37:39don't trust people,
00:37:40it's that we don't
00:37:40trust ourselves.
00:37:42Right?
00:37:43That's the important
00:37:44thing to really
00:37:44understand about this.
00:37:46It's not that we
00:37:47don't trust others,
00:37:49it's that we don't
00:37:49trust ourselves,
00:37:50because if we
00:37:50trust ourselves
00:37:51to make good
00:37:51decisions about
00:37:52who's in her life,
00:37:53then we're fine,
00:37:54right?
00:37:54what's wrong with
00:38:06finding a girl
00:38:06without that kind
00:38:07of traumatic history?
00:38:09And what's wrong
00:38:10with that?
00:38:10What's,
00:38:12if things are
00:38:13kind of stalled
00:38:14with that kind
00:38:17of stuff,
00:38:20what's wrong
00:38:22with finding
00:38:22somebody who
00:38:23has a
00:38:25more stable
00:38:27history and
00:38:27doesn't have
00:38:28all of this
00:38:28stuff to
00:38:28overcome?
00:38:31Because,
00:38:32here's the thing,
00:38:33I mean,
00:38:33if she is an
00:38:34untreated victim
00:38:35of severe or
00:38:36significant sexual
00:38:36abuse,
00:38:37that's going to
00:38:37have a spillover
00:38:38into your own
00:38:38romantic and
00:38:39sex life,
00:38:39and that's a
00:38:41lot,
00:38:41it's a lot
00:38:41to sit with.
00:38:45Somebody says,
00:38:46my dad's mom
00:38:47died when he
00:38:48was a baby.
00:38:48do you think
00:38:49it is better
00:38:49for a boy
00:38:51to be raised
00:38:52only by a
00:38:53father or
00:38:54only by a
00:38:55mother?
00:38:58Well,
00:39:00statistically,
00:39:03children do
00:39:05better when
00:39:06raised by a
00:39:07single father
00:39:07than by a
00:39:09single mother.
00:39:09one.
00:39:12So,
00:39:13I can't,
00:39:14I'm not
00:39:17sure of all
00:39:18of the reasons
00:39:18why,
00:39:19but statistically
00:39:19that does seem
00:39:20to be the
00:39:20case.
00:39:30All right.
00:39:30All right.
00:39:30Let's get
00:39:40back to your
00:39:40questions and
00:39:41comments.
00:39:47Now,
00:39:47of course,
00:39:48it could be
00:39:48that,
00:39:49yeah,
00:39:51it could be
00:39:52that as
00:39:52somebody who,
00:39:55a single
00:39:56dad has more
00:39:57resources if he's
00:39:57able to stay at
00:39:58home, so it
00:39:58could be
00:39:59socioeconomic to
00:39:59some degree.
00:40:00But,
00:40:04yeah,
00:40:08generally,
00:40:09single dads
00:40:10do a
00:40:11better outcome
00:40:12job than
00:40:13single moms.
00:40:20In some
00:40:21sort of older
00:40:22religions,
00:40:23if there's a
00:40:23sort of family
00:40:24separation,
00:40:25then the moms
00:40:26get the kids
00:40:27until about the
00:40:28age of seven,
00:40:28and then the
00:40:29kids go to
00:40:30the dad.
00:40:35Mothers were
00:40:36generally
00:40:36considered to
00:40:37be better
00:40:37in early
00:40:39childhood,
00:40:39and then the
00:40:40dads are
00:40:40better later
00:40:41in childhood.
00:40:47All right.
00:40:47Let me see
00:40:48if there's
00:40:48any other
00:40:48questions or
00:40:49comments.
00:41:09This woman
00:41:09wrote,
00:41:10because the
00:41:11question,
00:41:11the question
00:41:12still sort of
00:41:13sits around
00:41:13as a whole,
00:41:14men are not
00:41:15approaching women
00:41:16anymore.
00:41:18How do we
00:41:19fix that?
00:41:20This woman
00:41:20wrote,
00:41:21just curious,
00:41:21what actually
00:41:21makes a guy
00:41:22approach a
00:41:22woman?
00:41:22I'm 25
00:41:23female,
00:41:24and I
00:41:24consider myself
00:41:24attractive.
00:41:25I think I'm
00:41:25fairly pretty.
00:41:26I take care of
00:41:26myself,
00:41:27feel good about
00:41:27how I look,
00:41:28but I never
00:41:28get approached.
00:41:29I'll notice
00:41:29guys making
00:41:30repeated eye
00:41:30contact with
00:41:31me,
00:41:31but it never
00:41:31goes beyond
00:41:32that.
00:41:33Honestly,
00:41:33both of my
00:41:34past relationships
00:41:34started because I
00:41:35made the first
00:41:35move.
00:41:36So I'm
00:41:37wondering,
00:41:37what makes
00:41:37a guy
00:41:38actually go
00:41:38for it and
00:41:39approach
00:41:39someone?
00:41:40Also,
00:41:41is there a
00:41:41way to
00:41:43give off
00:41:43I want to
00:41:44be approached
00:41:44energy?
00:41:45I'm not
00:41:45really into
00:41:46dating apps,
00:41:46and I'd love
00:41:47to meet
00:41:47someone in
00:41:48person.
00:41:48I'm not
00:41:48against making
00:41:49the first
00:41:49move,
00:41:49but I'd
00:41:50love for
00:41:50someone to
00:41:50approach
00:41:50me for
00:41:51a change.
00:41:55And this
00:41:55is in
00:41:56response to
00:41:56a man
00:41:57saying,
00:41:58unless a
00:41:59woman gives
00:41:59me an
00:42:00irrefutable
00:42:00sign she
00:42:01wants my
00:42:01attention,
00:42:02I will never
00:42:02in a million
00:42:03years approach
00:42:03her,
00:42:03because nowadays
00:42:04we are
00:42:04taught that
00:42:05women want
00:42:05to be left
00:42:06alone,
00:42:07and we
00:42:07are perceived
00:42:08as a
00:42:08nuisance
00:42:08at best,
00:42:09and a
00:42:10threat at
00:42:11worst.
00:42:17So,
00:42:18this woman
00:42:20wrote,
00:42:21story time,
00:42:21when I was
00:42:2122,
00:42:22my best
00:42:22friend and
00:42:23I were
00:42:24at a
00:42:24bar in
00:42:25Charleston.
00:42:26She was
00:42:26very cute,
00:42:27well-endowed,
00:42:27outgoing blonde,
00:42:28and I made
00:42:28the comment
00:42:29that I wish
00:42:29I could
00:42:29attract the
00:42:30attention of
00:42:30men the
00:42:30way she
00:42:31does.
00:42:32She said,
00:42:32that's because
00:42:33I approach
00:42:34them and
00:42:35flirt with
00:42:35them,
00:42:35and you
00:42:35just sit
00:42:36at the
00:42:36bar being
00:42:37quiet with
00:42:37that intimidating
00:42:38resting bitch
00:42:38face of
00:42:38yours.
00:42:40All you
00:42:41have to do
00:42:41is smile at
00:42:41them or do
00:42:42something that
00:42:42doesn't make
00:42:43them think you're
00:42:43going to bite
00:42:44their head off.
00:42:45I couldn't argue
00:42:46with her and she
00:42:46wasn't the first
00:42:47one to point out
00:42:48that I had a
00:42:48snobby,
00:42:49intimidating look.
00:42:50I wasn't
00:42:50snobby at all,
00:42:51I was actually
00:42:51just crazy shy and
00:42:52awkward around
00:42:53people I don't
00:42:53know.
00:42:54So,
00:42:56I asked her,
00:42:57what the hell am I
00:42:57supposed to do,
00:42:57just pick some
00:42:58dude at the
00:42:58bar and wink at
00:42:59him?
00:42:59She screamed,
00:43:00yes!
00:43:01I said,
00:43:02fine,
00:43:02I'll do it,
00:43:02but it's not
00:43:03going to work
00:43:03and I'm going
00:43:04to feel like
00:43:04an idiot.
00:43:05So,
00:43:05I scoped out a
00:43:05cute guy sitting
00:43:06on the opposite
00:43:07side of the
00:43:07bar.
00:43:07I looked at
00:43:08him,
00:43:08he looked at
00:43:08me,
00:43:08and then I
00:43:09smiled and
00:43:09winked at
00:43:09him.
00:43:10In 30 damn
00:43:11seconds,
00:43:12he was sitting
00:43:12next to me
00:43:12buying me a
00:43:13drink and we
00:43:13ended up
00:43:13dating for a
00:43:14few months.
00:43:15So,
00:43:15yes,
00:43:16ladies,
00:43:16for most men
00:43:17all they need
00:43:18is some
00:43:18indication that
00:43:18you are open
00:43:19to being
00:43:19approached by
00:43:20them and that
00:43:21they won't get
00:43:21kicked in the
00:43:22crotch for the
00:43:22effort.
00:43:25I think
00:43:26that's also a
00:43:32you know,
00:43:33it happens
00:43:33to blow up
00:43:36on social
00:43:36media and
00:43:37you're a
00:43:37creep.
00:43:39The woman
00:43:39just wants to
00:43:40sit there and
00:43:40enjoy blah,
00:43:41blah,
00:43:41blah.
00:43:42And it's been
00:43:42very much a
00:43:43sigh-up from
00:43:43the media as
00:43:44a whole,
00:43:44right?
00:43:45It's been
00:43:45very much a
00:43:46sigh-up for
00:43:52the media as
00:43:52a whole.
00:43:55Nothing in
00:43:56the media is
00:43:56accidental.
00:43:57Certainly the
00:43:57mainstream media,
00:43:58like nothing.
00:43:59Nothing.
00:44:02Nothing is
00:44:05accidental.
00:44:05So a
00:44:06programming,
00:44:07it appeals to
00:44:08women's vanity
00:44:09to be
00:44:10exasperated at
00:44:11how many men
00:44:11approach them,
00:44:12and it
00:44:13definitely does
00:44:14lower the
00:44:15birth rate to
00:44:16intimidate men
00:44:16into leaving
00:44:18women alone,
00:44:18and I'm just
00:44:20here with my
00:44:20girlfriends,
00:44:20I'm not here to
00:44:21get picked up,
00:44:22stop being so
00:44:22desperate,
00:44:23all that kind
00:44:24of stuff,
00:44:24right?
00:44:32starting a
00:44:43PhD is
00:44:44associated with
00:44:44a considerable
00:44:45worsening of
00:44:46mental health.
00:44:47After entering
00:44:47their program,
00:44:48students start
00:44:48seeking a lot
00:44:49more psychiatric
00:44:50medication for
00:44:51managing that
00:44:52bad mental
00:44:52health.
00:44:53Yikes.
00:44:55Yikes.
00:44:56Yikes.
00:44:56Yikes.
00:44:56Yikes.
00:44:56Yikes.
00:45:02All right.
00:45:22Let's see.
00:45:23What else do
00:45:23we have?
00:45:27Thank you for
00:45:28the tip.
00:45:29I appreciate
00:45:29that.
00:45:32Did I ever
00:45:33watch Emily
00:45:34W. King
00:45:34social media
00:45:35posts of
00:45:35women complaining
00:45:36about men
00:45:36approaching her?
00:45:37Hate men who
00:45:37do it unless
00:45:38she thinks
00:45:39you're attractive.
00:45:41Is she on
00:45:41X?
00:45:43Emily W. King.
00:45:46Let me have
00:45:47a look.
00:45:59All right.
00:46:01I will go
00:46:01have a look.
00:46:02And, of course,
00:46:19it's not
00:46:20particularly
00:46:20organic what
00:46:21happens on
00:46:21social media,
00:46:22right?
00:46:22So, if China
00:46:29wants to lower
00:46:31the birth rate
00:46:31in the West,
00:46:33then what it
00:46:33does is it
00:46:33promotes all
00:46:34of these,
00:46:35can you believe
00:46:35this creep
00:46:36approached me
00:46:36stuff, right?
00:46:41Steph, how do
00:46:42you think the
00:46:43future of society
00:46:44will look given
00:46:44that so many
00:46:45men are finally
00:46:45waking up to
00:46:46women's behavior?
00:46:47So many men
00:46:47are now refusing
00:46:48to get married
00:46:48to a woman
00:46:49after she's
00:46:50had her
00:46:50fun?
00:46:53Well, it's
00:46:54not female
00:46:54nature.
00:46:55It's female
00:46:56nature plus
00:46:56the state,
00:46:57plus taxation,
00:46:58plus the
00:46:58welfare state,
00:46:58plus old age
00:46:59pensions,
00:46:59plus free
00:47:00health care,
00:47:00plus, plus,
00:47:01plus, right?
00:47:02Alimony,
00:47:02child support,
00:47:03right?
00:47:03Right?
00:47:03Somebody says,
00:47:16even in the
00:47:1690s, a
00:47:16friend made
00:47:18the mistake
00:47:18of hooking
00:47:19up for a
00:47:19one-night stand.
00:47:20Her girlfriend
00:47:21convinced her
00:47:21she was
00:47:22assaulted,
00:47:22he was
00:47:22arrested,
00:47:23charged,
00:47:23went to
00:47:23trial,
00:47:24jury came
00:47:24back after
00:47:2530 minutes
00:47:25not guilty,
00:47:26cost him
00:47:26100,000
00:47:27Canadian.
00:47:28Hmm.
00:47:29Well, that's
00:47:30tough.
00:47:31But yeah,
00:47:32I mean,
00:47:32you're really
00:47:33taking your
00:47:34life in your
00:47:34hands if
00:47:35you sleep
00:47:37around that
00:47:37way.
00:47:38He's not
00:47:38good.
00:47:39He's not
00:47:39good.
00:47:46All right.
00:47:47See if I have
00:47:47any other
00:47:47questions,
00:47:49comments,
00:47:49issues,
00:47:49challenges.
00:47:51What is on
00:47:52your mind?
00:47:52I'm happy to
00:47:53help.
00:47:53All right.
00:48:02what else do I
00:48:25have here?
00:48:26the Kamalo
00:48:33Anthony story
00:48:34I'm quite
00:48:35fascinated by,
00:48:35but we'll
00:48:36go into that
00:48:36another time.
00:48:44All right.
00:48:45Let's see
00:48:45here.
00:48:49Let me
00:48:49check over
00:48:50here too
00:48:51for questions.
00:48:52All right.
00:49:01Going once,
00:49:02going twice,
00:49:04questions,
00:49:04comments.
00:49:14Yeah,
00:49:15who is this?
00:49:15Oil down to
00:49:1650,
00:49:1655 bucks a
00:49:17barrel.
00:49:17Wild,
00:49:18right?
00:49:18All right.
00:49:22I do love
00:49:30how people
00:49:36are complaining
00:49:37that Trump
00:49:37is, you know,
00:49:38you said this
00:49:38and now you're
00:49:39doing that.
00:49:39You said this
00:49:40and now you're
00:49:40doing the
00:49:40other.
00:49:41That's all
00:49:42crazy stuff.
00:49:43Of course,
00:49:43he's going to
00:49:43have to be
00:49:44flexible and
00:49:44of course you
00:49:45don't signal
00:49:45everything that
00:49:46you're going
00:49:47to do,
00:49:48right?
00:49:52All right.
00:50:12Let's just
00:50:13see if you
00:50:13had any.
00:50:14Have you ever
00:50:15attended a Toastmaster
00:50:16meeting, Steph?
00:50:17I have not.
00:50:18Hey, Joe.
00:50:18Nice to see you.
00:50:19I've not
00:50:20attended a Toastmaster,
00:50:21but I had
00:50:22an employee
00:50:22once who
00:50:23wanted to
00:50:24get more
00:50:24into sort
00:50:25of sales
00:50:25and marketing
00:50:26and I
00:50:27suggested that
00:50:28they join
00:50:28Toastmasters
00:50:29so that they
00:50:30get more
00:50:30used to sort
00:50:30of public
00:50:31speaking and
00:50:31so on,
00:50:32right?
00:50:33It's an old
00:50:33Seinfeld joke
00:50:34that people
00:50:35are more afraid
00:50:36of public
00:50:36speaking than
00:50:37death.
00:50:37In other
00:50:38words,
00:50:38if you're
00:50:39at a funeral,
00:50:39you'd rather
00:50:39be in the
00:50:40coffin than
00:50:40giving the
00:50:42eulogy.
00:50:44And of
00:50:44course,
00:50:45we tended
00:50:45to avoid
00:50:46public
00:50:46speaking because
00:50:47usually public
00:50:47speaking was
00:50:48you having to
00:50:48defend yourself
00:50:49against an
00:50:49angry mob.
00:50:50So it's
00:50:51pretty dangerous
00:50:51trying to
00:50:52avoid those
00:50:52kinds of
00:50:53things.
00:50:53But if you
00:50:54can get
00:50:55used to
00:50:56public
00:50:56speaking,
00:50:57and I
00:50:58had a whole
00:50:59video I did
00:51:00like 15
00:51:01years ago,
00:51:02how to be a
00:51:03good public
00:51:03speaker and
00:51:04so on,
00:51:04which is
00:51:04basically the
00:51:06idea that
00:51:06if you have
00:51:08Bob and
00:51:08Sally,
00:51:09two friends
00:51:09that you
00:51:10think would
00:51:10get along
00:51:10and really
00:51:11hit it off,
00:51:11maybe be a
00:51:12couple,
00:51:12and you
00:51:12introduce them
00:51:13to each
00:51:13other,
00:51:14you're only
00:51:14caring about
00:51:15what Bob
00:51:15thinks about
00:51:15Sally and
00:51:16what Sally
00:51:16thinks about
00:51:17Bob.
00:51:17you're not
00:51:17thinking what
00:51:17both of
00:51:18them think
00:51:18about you
00:51:19or either
00:51:19of them
00:51:19thinking about
00:51:20you.
00:51:24And so
00:51:25when you're
00:51:25giving a
00:51:25speech,
00:51:26you care
00:51:26about the
00:51:27ideas connecting
00:51:27with the
00:51:28audience.
00:51:28You're not
00:51:28thinking about
00:51:29what does
00:51:30the audience
00:51:30think of
00:51:30me?
00:51:31You're
00:51:31thinking about
00:51:31what does
00:51:31the audience
00:51:31think of
00:51:32these ideas?
00:51:32It really
00:51:32helps.
00:51:37Somebody
00:51:38says,
00:51:38honest
00:51:38question,
00:51:39do women
00:51:39actually get
00:51:40anything from
00:51:40seeing photos
00:51:41of the
00:51:41male member?
00:51:42I constantly
00:51:43hear stories
00:51:43of guys
00:51:44sending these
00:51:45kinds of
00:51:45photos to
00:51:45women.
00:51:46I assume
00:51:46there must
00:51:47be some
00:51:47marginal
00:51:47success rate
00:51:48if guys
00:51:48keep doing
00:51:49that.
00:51:49But as
00:51:49a guy,
00:51:50I don't
00:51:51want to
00:51:51see mine,
00:51:54my mine,
00:51:54I can't
00:51:55imagine anyone
00:51:55else either.
00:51:56So why do
00:51:56guys keep
00:51:56sending dick
00:51:57pics?
00:51:59I couldn't
00:52:00honestly tell
00:52:01you that's
00:52:02either above
00:52:04or below my
00:52:04pay grade,
00:52:05but certainly
00:52:05beyond my
00:52:06wheelhouse.
00:52:06I could
00:52:06not possibly
00:52:08tell you why
00:52:10men,
00:52:12send dick
00:52:12pics to
00:52:13women.
00:52:14I assume
00:52:15that it
00:52:17has something
00:52:17to do with
00:52:18a scatter
00:52:18shot.
00:52:20There was a
00:52:21guy I knew
00:52:22many years
00:52:22ago from
00:52:23England who
00:52:24basically would
00:52:24just go up to
00:52:25girls in bars
00:52:25and say,
00:52:25that's it,
00:52:26you're pulled,
00:52:27and just try
00:52:27and get them
00:52:28to go
00:52:29elsewhere and
00:52:29snog,
00:52:31which is make
00:52:32out or
00:52:32whatever.
00:52:33He said,
00:52:3419 times
00:52:35out of 20,
00:52:35you just get
00:52:36a drink
00:52:37thrown in
00:52:37your face
00:52:37or slapped.
00:52:38The woman
00:52:38just rolls
00:52:39her eyes.
00:52:39But that
00:52:39one time,
00:52:40and he was
00:52:41pretty efficient.
00:52:42It's
00:52:42pretty
00:52:42efficient.
00:52:48What's
00:52:48your take
00:52:49on
00:52:49residential
00:52:49schools?
00:52:50Our
00:52:50conservative
00:52:51MP in
00:52:51BC has a
00:52:52movement to
00:52:52have him
00:52:54resign based
00:52:54on statements
00:52:55that residential
00:52:56schools weren't a
00:52:57genocide or
00:52:57downplaying.
00:52:58I'm curious
00:52:58what your
00:52:58thoughts are
00:52:59on it.
00:52:59Well, I
00:53:05mean, it was
00:53:05a government
00:53:06program.
00:53:06It was a
00:53:07government
00:53:07program that
00:53:07was designed
00:53:08to take
00:53:10the native
00:53:11children from
00:53:12the native
00:53:14environment,
00:53:14which has,
00:53:15I mean, I've
00:53:16been up in the
00:53:16reservations,
00:53:17it's pretty rough
00:53:17on kids, to put
00:53:18it mildly.
00:53:18So the
00:53:19residential
00:53:19schools was a
00:53:20government
00:53:20program to
00:53:21attempt a
00:53:21forced
00:53:22integration of
00:53:22native
00:53:23children into
00:53:23sort of
00:53:24white
00:53:24European
00:53:25Protestant,
00:53:26largely
00:53:27Protestant
00:53:27society as
00:53:28a whole.
00:53:28I mean, there
00:53:28was certainly
00:53:29Catholic stuff
00:53:29there as
00:53:30well.
00:53:31So, yes, I
00:53:35think that
00:53:35taking children
00:53:37from their
00:53:37parents and
00:53:38trying to
00:53:38force-integrate
00:53:39them into
00:53:39other cultures
00:53:40is bad.
00:53:41Government
00:53:42programs as
00:53:43a whole are
00:53:43morally bad.
00:53:45So I think
00:53:47that we should
00:53:47learn our
00:53:48lesson and
00:53:49not try social
00:53:50engineering through
00:53:51state power.
00:53:52So, I
00:53:53somebody says,
00:53:58I'd love to
00:53:58know more
00:53:58about the
00:53:59creation and
00:53:59implementation
00:53:59story of the
00:54:00angels from
00:54:01the future.
00:54:01They were my
00:54:01favorite possible
00:54:02cataclysm prequel.
00:54:04Certainly
00:54:04possible.
00:54:05Certainly
00:54:05possible.
00:54:09Somebody
00:54:09says,
00:54:10my question is
00:54:10about the
00:54:11nature of
00:54:11sophistry in
00:54:12art.
00:54:13When obscuring
00:54:13the philosophical
00:54:14message out of
00:54:15titillating,
00:54:15disturbing,
00:54:16and thought-provoking
00:54:17aesthetics is an
00:54:18end that justifies
00:54:18the means.
00:54:19That is why I
00:54:20expanded on the
00:54:20context.
00:54:21Oh, sorry.
00:54:22Okay.
00:54:22That was a
00:54:23person who's
00:54:24giving me a
00:54:24lot of
00:54:24messages about
00:54:25anime.
00:54:28Thank you,
00:54:29Boa.
00:54:29Appreciate the
00:54:30tip.
00:54:30Freedomain.com
00:54:31to help out
00:54:33the show.
00:54:42All right.
00:54:45People never
00:54:46heard of a
00:54:47negotiation strategy
00:54:47make a big
00:54:48threat to scare
00:54:49people into
00:54:49negotiation.
00:54:50Yeah, sure.
00:54:50Sorry about
00:54:54the typo in
00:54:55my above
00:54:55comment.
00:54:56I can't
00:54:56believe Izzy
00:54:57is already
00:54:5716.
00:54:58I have a
00:54:58two-year-old
00:54:58girl and a
00:54:5910-week-old
00:55:00baby boy.
00:55:00Congratulations,
00:55:01Rachel.
00:55:01That's beautiful
00:55:02to hear.
00:55:03Love, love to
00:55:04hear it.
00:55:05Love to hear
00:55:06it.
00:55:06Congratulations.
00:55:08The more
00:55:09Freedomain
00:55:10listeners who
00:55:10become parents,
00:55:11and the more
00:55:11parents who
00:55:12become Freedomain
00:55:12listeners, the
00:55:13more meaningful
00:55:14and better my
00:55:16life is as a
00:55:17whole.
00:55:19I did see a
00:55:23very sad
00:55:24tweet of a
00:55:25woman who
00:55:26has two
00:55:27twins, two
00:55:29twins, and
00:55:29she's going
00:55:30back to work
00:55:30after three
00:55:31months.
00:55:33Oh, my
00:55:33God.
00:55:34It's just
00:55:34horrendous.
00:55:35People say,
00:55:35well, we
00:55:36can't afford,
00:55:36blah, blah,
00:55:36blah.
00:55:37Of course
00:55:37you can.
00:55:38Of course
00:55:38you can.
00:55:39Just, God
00:55:40Lord, I'd
00:55:41rather live in
00:55:41a trailer park
00:55:42and spend
00:55:43time with my
00:55:43child or
00:55:44children than
00:55:46go take
00:55:48some email
00:55:49job and
00:55:49not spend
00:55:50time with
00:55:50my own
00:55:50offspring.
00:55:52It's very
00:55:52sad.
00:55:54Like 90,
00:55:5495 percent,
00:55:55like 75 percent
00:55:56of the time
00:55:57you spend
00:55:57with your
00:55:57kids is
00:55:58done by
00:55:58the time
00:55:59they're 12
00:55:59or 13
00:55:59and like
00:56:0090, 95
00:56:00percent of
00:56:01it by
00:56:01the time
00:56:02they're
00:56:0218.
00:56:02IKR.
00:56:12So I
00:56:12don't know
00:56:13what that
00:56:13means.
00:56:14Oh, I
00:56:15know, right?
00:56:15Oh, I
00:56:16know, right?
00:56:16My niece
00:56:17turns 27
00:56:17at years
00:56:18and yeah,
00:56:20Izzy's
00:56:20going to
00:56:20be, gosh,
00:56:22she's going
00:56:22to be 17
00:56:24in six
00:56:25months.
00:56:25How's your
00:56:26throat, Steph?
00:56:27Yeah, not
00:56:27bad, not
00:56:28bad.
00:56:30I had a
00:56:31virus hit my
00:56:31ear and
00:56:33it's cleared
00:56:34but it's
00:56:34just taking
00:56:35some time
00:56:35to recover.
00:56:36So I'm
00:56:37sort of going
00:56:37back to
00:56:38regular volume.
00:56:39I checked
00:56:39with the
00:56:39doctor and
00:56:40it's fine.
00:56:41So I'm
00:56:41going back
00:56:42to regular
00:56:42volume.
00:56:42It's going
00:56:43to take a
00:56:43little bit
00:56:43of time
00:56:44for the
00:56:44discomfort
00:56:44to pass.
00:56:45Things
00:56:45were kind
00:56:46of swollen
00:56:46and messed
00:56:46up in
00:56:47my ear.
00:56:48But it's
00:56:48fine.
00:56:49Just part
00:56:50of the
00:56:50joy of
00:56:51life as
00:56:51a whole.
00:57:01All right.
00:57:04Going once,
00:57:06going twice.
00:57:11To do.
00:57:12somebody says,
00:57:27I live next
00:57:27to one of
00:57:28the wealthiest
00:57:28reservations in
00:57:29the entire
00:57:29United States.
00:57:30Due to the
00:57:31casino and
00:57:31the ban on
00:57:32gambling in
00:57:33the four
00:57:33surrounding
00:57:33states,
00:57:34they make
00:57:34a huge
00:57:34amount of
00:57:35money and
00:57:35distribute
00:57:35massive amounts
00:57:36to the
00:57:36tribe members.
00:57:37We're talking
00:57:37free health
00:57:38care,
00:57:38dental
00:57:38housing,
00:57:3975K
00:57:41turning 18,
00:57:42large
00:57:42bi-yearly
00:57:43lump sum
00:57:43payments.
00:57:44The drug
00:57:45issues,
00:57:46laziness and
00:57:47listlessness are
00:57:47unbelievable.
00:57:48Socialism doesn't
00:57:48work.
00:57:49Yeah.
00:57:50Yeah.
00:57:52Yeah.
00:57:53It's horrible.
00:57:54It's horrible.
00:57:55What goes on?
00:57:57I mean,
00:57:57child abuse as a
00:57:58whole, but in
00:57:58certain communities,
00:57:59and I would say,
00:58:01what is it?
00:58:01Let's see here.
00:58:09Let's see here.
00:58:11What have we
00:58:11got?
00:58:28Child sexual
00:58:28abuse is a
00:58:29severe and
00:58:30concerning public
00:58:30health problem
00:58:31globally, but
00:58:31some children are
00:58:32at higher risk of
00:58:33experiencing it.
00:58:34The harm is
00:58:34caused by
00:58:34colonization,
00:58:36and particularly
00:58:37the intergenerational
00:58:37legacy of
00:58:38residential schools
00:58:39would presumably
00:58:39increase the
00:58:40vulnerability of
00:58:41indigenous children
00:58:42in former
00:58:43British colonies.
00:58:46Among 282
00:58:48indigenous
00:58:48participants in
00:58:50Canada,
00:58:51recruited from
00:58:52prime panels,
00:58:53childhood sexual
00:58:53abuse was
00:58:55reported by
00:58:5535% of boys,
00:58:5650% of girls,
00:58:57and 50% of
00:58:58trans and gender
00:58:58non-conforming
00:58:59participants.
00:59:01These rates are
00:59:02substantially higher
00:59:02than global
00:59:03meta-analytic
00:59:04estimates, 7.6%
00:59:05of boys and 18%
00:59:06of girls.
00:59:08So that's
00:59:09four times
00:59:11to two and
00:59:12a half times.
00:59:13Yeah, it's
00:59:13just horrendous.
00:59:16It's really
00:59:17terrible.
00:59:21Now, of course,
00:59:22they have to
00:59:22make it, you
00:59:23know, white
00:59:24people's fault,
00:59:25blah, blah, blah.
00:59:25That's sort of
00:59:26inevitable, right?
00:59:27And I don't
00:59:35know, in terms
00:59:36of the history
00:59:36of the
00:59:38residential
00:59:38schools, I
00:59:39don't know
00:59:40how much
00:59:43the
00:59:46residential
00:59:48schools were
00:59:48in response
00:59:49to the
00:59:49amount of
00:59:50abuse that
00:59:52was going
00:59:52on in the
00:59:55reservations.
00:59:55Indigenous
01:00:02children under
01:00:03the age of
01:00:0315, 7%
01:00:04of the
01:00:05overall
01:00:05population
01:00:06of 14
01:00:06year olds
01:00:06and younger.
01:00:08But in
01:00:082011, almost
01:00:09half of
01:00:09children in
01:00:11foster care
01:00:11were Indigenous.
01:00:12It is very
01:00:33tough, very
01:00:34tough to grow
01:00:35up.
01:00:38It is very
01:00:38tough to
01:00:39grow up in
01:00:40the Indigenous
01:00:40society for
01:00:42children.
01:00:42All right.
01:00:55Let's see
01:01:03here.
01:01:10Yeah, sorry.
01:01:11I'm going to
01:01:11page through
01:01:12looking for a
01:01:13lazy chart.
01:01:17Inuit, of
01:01:19course, is
01:01:19also a big
01:01:21issue.
01:01:33Suicide among
01:01:33the Inuit in
01:01:34Nunavut occurs
01:01:35at a rate of
01:01:35about 110
01:01:36deaths per
01:01:37100,000 people,
01:01:37which is about
01:01:3810 times the
01:01:39rate in the
01:01:39rest of
01:01:39Canada.
01:01:41Among young
01:01:41men aged 15
01:01:42to 24 in
01:01:43Nunavut, the
01:01:44suicide rate is
01:01:44more than
01:01:45500 per
01:01:45100,000,
01:01:46close to 50
01:01:47times the
01:01:47national rate
01:01:48for this
01:01:48group.
01:01:51Crazy.
01:02:05The study on
01:02:07this very high
01:02:08suicide rate
01:02:08among the
01:02:10Inuit, the
01:02:11study also
01:02:12makes a strong
01:02:12association between
01:02:13suicide and
01:02:14childhood physical,
01:02:15sexual, and
01:02:15emotional abuse.
01:02:16almost half of
01:02:19the suicide
01:02:19group were
01:02:20abused in
01:02:20childhood,
01:02:21compared to
01:02:22almost a
01:02:22third of
01:02:22the comparison
01:02:23group.
01:02:26When
01:02:27separated out,
01:02:2715.8% of
01:02:29the suicide
01:02:29group experienced
01:02:30sexual abuse in
01:02:30childhood,
01:02:31compared to
01:02:316.7% of
01:02:32the comparison
01:02:33group.
01:02:35Yeah, it's
01:02:35very, very
01:02:36rough.
01:02:36Yeah.
01:02:36All right, let's
01:02:52get to the last
01:02:53questions.
01:02:55Somebody says,
01:02:56credit to my
01:02:56dad for doing
01:02:57one thing
01:02:58right.
01:02:59After about
01:02:59age 10, no
01:03:00allowance given,
01:03:01but did chores
01:03:01like mowing the
01:03:02lawn, or snow
01:03:03shoveling to earn
01:03:04pocket cash, had
01:03:04a flyer route
01:03:06at age 12,
01:03:06earned my
01:03:07money, respected
01:03:08money, and
01:03:09what came
01:03:09with it.
01:03:25Somebody says,
01:03:26age 16, worked
01:03:27Saturday mornings
01:03:27cleaning an
01:03:28auto body shop,
01:03:2918, pumped gas,
01:03:30cleaned, coy up,
01:03:31car wash.
01:03:32Yeah.
01:03:33I mean, work
01:03:34is good.
01:03:35Work is good.
01:03:38To consume
01:03:39without producing
01:03:40is, I think,
01:03:41pretty bad for
01:03:42mental health as
01:03:42a whole.
01:03:49All right.
01:03:50All right, any
01:04:04other last
01:04:05questions or
01:04:05comments?
01:04:08Happy to hear.
01:04:12I love this
01:04:13woman.
01:04:13This is a very
01:04:14famous tweet.
01:04:15This woman said,
01:04:16just bought him
01:04:16food, slept with
01:04:17him, and then sent
01:04:18him home in an
01:04:18Uber.
01:04:18Let's see how men
01:04:19like it.
01:04:32It certainly
01:04:33is the case
01:04:33that Trump
01:04:35makes politics
01:04:36interesting again.
01:04:38It certainly
01:04:39is the case.
01:04:40Somebody says,
01:04:50has anyone
01:04:50tried creating
01:04:51a gentleman's
01:04:51club that's
01:04:52technically open
01:04:52to everyone,
01:04:53but just has a
01:04:54really heavy
01:04:54door?
01:04:56Quite funny.
01:04:58I like panic
01:04:59hands.
01:04:59That's a new
01:05:00title for those
01:05:01who are panicking.
01:05:02It's funny, of
01:05:02course, all the
01:05:03people who wanted
01:05:04to completely
01:05:05destroy society
01:05:06over COVID
01:05:07are now
01:05:07completely
01:05:07panicking
01:05:09over
01:05:09tariffs.
01:05:13I don't
01:05:13know.
01:05:16But it's
01:05:16confusing for
01:05:17people.
01:05:17They don't
01:05:18understand.
01:05:19Whatever you
01:05:19say about
01:05:20Trump, he
01:05:20definitely is
01:05:21very keen
01:05:21on putting
01:05:23Americans first.
01:05:24He's very, very
01:05:24keen on protecting
01:05:25America, and he
01:05:26really wants the
01:05:27five million
01:05:27toasted
01:05:29manufacturing jobs
01:05:29to come back
01:05:31and all of
01:05:31that.
01:05:32So it is
01:05:33very confusing.
01:05:34They don't
01:05:34quite understand
01:05:35what does it
01:05:38mean that there's
01:05:38a politician who
01:05:39actually is really
01:05:40caring about,
01:05:41you know, you
01:05:41can agree with
01:05:42him, right or
01:05:42wrong, but he
01:05:44really does care
01:05:45about America
01:05:46and the American
01:05:47middle class and
01:05:47American workers
01:05:48and so on.
01:05:49So it is,
01:05:50it's very
01:05:52confusing.
01:05:53It's sort of
01:05:54like if you've
01:05:54ever, you know,
01:05:55if you've had a
01:05:56couple of
01:05:56exploitive
01:05:56relationships and
01:05:57then you come
01:05:57across someone
01:05:58really kind,
01:05:58people just get
01:05:59kind of messed
01:05:59up.
01:06:00Like, what the
01:06:00hell is going
01:06:01on?
01:06:01How could
01:06:02this be?
01:06:02How could
01:06:02this be?
01:06:03How can
01:06:04someone be
01:06:04kind?
01:06:05There's
01:06:05something weird
01:06:06going on.
01:06:06All of that,
01:06:07right?
01:06:09Now, of
01:06:10course, if
01:06:10they switch to
01:06:13tariffs and
01:06:14they can eradicate
01:06:14the income
01:06:15tax, there's
01:06:15some talk,
01:06:16you know,
01:06:17believe it when
01:06:17you see it,
01:06:17right?
01:06:18There's some
01:06:18talk of
01:06:19eliminating the
01:06:20income tax for
01:06:20people making
01:06:21under $150,000.
01:06:24Oof.

01:06:28Wild.
01:06:28Wild.

01:10:05I mean,

01:10:05particular
01:10:06perspective,
01:10:06so take
01:10:07that for
01:10:08what it's
01:10:08worth.
01:10:09As a

01:10:12I care
01:10:14about as

01:10:25Now,

01:10:26saying this
01:10:27has to be
01:10:27your
01:10:27approach,
01:10:31much.
01:10:32But
01:10:33I'm
01:10:36certainly
01:10:36telling you
01:10:37that my
01:10:40perspective
01:10:41is
01:10:41people,
01:10:45you know,

01:10:54people as
01:10:54a whole.
01:10:55So,
01:10:56the great
01:10:56thing about
01:10:57having the
01:10:57world not
01:10:58really care

01:10:59you don't
01:10:59have to
01:10:59care about
01:11:00the world
01:11:00as much.
01:11:00And I
01:11:01really did
01:11:01care about
01:11:01the world,
01:11:02perhaps to
01:11:02an unhealthy
01:11:03degree,
01:11:03for a lot
01:11:04of my
